WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.220 Nobody really cares to ask about your diet and 00:00:02.220 --> 00:00:04.099 your lifestyle and how you're sleeping and how 00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:06.120 you're feeling and the emotional load that you've 00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:08.160 been carrying all these, you know, past decades. 00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:10.580 It's actually about understanding you from day 00:00:10.580 --> 00:00:13.199 one. So which goes to say that your psyche, which 00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.019 is your mental state, affects your neurological 00:00:16.019 --> 00:00:18.140 state, which affects your hormones, which affects 00:00:18.140 --> 00:00:20.600 your immunological system. It's all interconnected. 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.300 Homeopathy, honestly, is much more than just 00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:25.980 an alternative system of medicine. It's a part 00:00:25.980 --> 00:00:27.839 of what I've been raised with. Patient comes 00:00:27.839 --> 00:00:29.480 and tells you, okay, we have eczema. and you 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:31.480 give them something to kind of put on that eczema 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:33.679 and then that's it. Maybe for a day or two or 00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:36.079 a week or a month that patient's better but then 00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:37.899 a month later the patient's coming back with 00:00:37.899 --> 00:00:39.920 either symptoms that are much more worse than 00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:41.820 what they came into you with or this disease 00:00:41.820 --> 00:00:43.920 has now decided to take some other part of the 00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:46.340 body and show itself in another way. We don't 00:00:46.340 --> 00:00:49.320 treat the symptoms specifically. We also treat 00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.420 the emotional aspect behind those symptoms. Most 00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:54.920 of our practice is trying to understand the person 00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.439 behind the disease. It's never just about the 00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.429 symptom. take something from nature to help treat 00:01:01.429 --> 00:01:04.150 the patient. Correct. Snake venom is a very, 00:01:04.189 --> 00:01:06.530 very important remedy for menopausal women. We're 00:01:06.530 --> 00:01:08.510 not really working against the body, we're working 00:01:08.510 --> 00:01:27.349 with the body. and welcome to The 40s Formula, 00:01:27.569 --> 00:01:29.750 your go -to place for insightful discussions 00:01:29.750 --> 00:01:32.450 on navigating the 40s and thriving in this transformative 00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:35.549 decade. We're your hosts, Jasmine and Amanda, 00:01:35.769 --> 00:01:38.090 two women that are passionate about exploring 00:01:38.090 --> 00:01:40.209 the challenges and adventures that come with 00:01:40.209 --> 00:01:51.250 turning 40 and what lies ahead. Welcome back 00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:53.609 to The 40s Formula, the podcast that blends science, 00:01:53.689 --> 00:01:56.069 soul, and a little bit of sass to help you thrive 00:01:56.069 --> 00:01:58.650 through this decade and beyond. I'm Jasmine, 00:01:58.750 --> 00:02:01.189 a health strategist at E with Jasmine, mum of 00:02:01.189 --> 00:02:03.909 three boys, and forever curious about what it 00:02:03.909 --> 00:02:06.609 really takes to feel good in this decade. And 00:02:06.609 --> 00:02:09.030 I'm Amanda, a metabolic health coach and director 00:02:09.030 --> 00:02:12.169 of Lift Clinic, mum of three, and your co -host 00:02:12.169 --> 00:02:14.270 in this space where we ditch the fluff and get 00:02:14.270 --> 00:02:16.889 real about thriving in your 40s. Now, if you've 00:02:16.889 --> 00:02:19.250 ever found yourself thinking, I've done the tests. 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.960 I've taken the supplements, I'm doing all the 00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.340 right things, but I still don't feel right. Well, 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:27.039 then today's episode is just for you. Today, 00:02:27.139 --> 00:02:29.219 we're diving into the world of homeopathy, a 00:02:29.219 --> 00:02:31.280 healing approach that's been around for centuries, 00:02:31.379 --> 00:02:34.419 but is often misunderstood, overlooked, or honestly 00:02:34.419 --> 00:02:36.259 written off as woo -woo. But the thing is, women 00:02:36.259 --> 00:02:38.379 in their 40s are burnt out. We're holding onto 00:02:38.379 --> 00:02:41.199 the emotional load, juggling careers, families, 00:02:41.419 --> 00:02:43.719 hormones, and wondering when we're going to feel 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:46.210 like ourselves again. And homeopathy looks at 00:02:46.210 --> 00:02:48.750 the root. It asks, what's really going on underneath 00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:51.310 all the symptoms? Our guest today is Dr. Rukshin 00:02:51.310 --> 00:02:54.129 Mastershar, a homeopathic doctor, researcher, 00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:56.949 and modern voice in holistic medicine. She's 00:02:56.949 --> 00:02:59.289 here to help us understand what homeopathy really 00:02:59.289 --> 00:03:01.610 is, how it can help women in midlife, and what 00:03:01.610 --> 00:03:03.110 might be possible when you stop treating the 00:03:03.110 --> 00:03:05.310 symptoms and start treating the person as a whole. 00:03:05.569 --> 00:03:08.090 So whether you're curious, skeptical, or just 00:03:08.090 --> 00:03:10.469 desperate for another way, stay with us.

All right, before we dive into today's 00:03:29.110 --> 00:03:30.870 episode, let's talk about something that makes 00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.830 our lives way easier.

The Meat Club, where quality 00:05:36.949 --> 00:05:40.350 meets convenience. Hi Rikshin, welcome to the 00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:43.149 40s Formula. Hi Jasmine, nice to be here. I'm 00:05:43.149 --> 00:05:46.370 so happy I get to speak my voice today and have 00:05:46.370 --> 00:05:48.589 a nice discussion with you all. We're so happy 00:05:48.589 --> 00:05:50.569 to have you here. Rikshin, the first question 00:05:50.569 --> 00:05:53.089 I would like to ask you is, if a woman in her 00:05:53.089 --> 00:05:56.089 40s walks into your clinic, she's feeling exhausted, 00:05:56.470 --> 00:06:00.750 she's overwhelmed and inflamed, what is the first 00:06:00.750 --> 00:06:02.589 thing you would look at that conventional medicine 00:06:02.589 --> 00:06:06.209 might miss? Okay, so this actually happens more 00:06:06.209 --> 00:06:08.610 often than not where I have women walking in 00:06:08.610 --> 00:06:11.329 in their 40s. They come in after visiting multiple 00:06:11.329 --> 00:06:14.730 gynec clinics. So they've not got the answers 00:06:14.730 --> 00:06:17.310 that they're looking for. Someone diagnoses them 00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:19.029 as fibroids and then the other gynec's like, 00:06:19.129 --> 00:06:20.949 no, it's not fibroids. Maybe it's just a cyst. 00:06:21.050 --> 00:06:22.509 And the other guy's like, oh, you know, maybe 00:06:22.509 --> 00:06:24.569 it's just some hormonal imbalance. And they're 00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:26.649 so confused by the end of it. They don't have 00:06:26.649 --> 00:06:29.579 enough answers. And when they come to my clinic, 00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:32.459 honestly they walk off with having felt like 00:06:32.459 --> 00:06:35.139 they've been heard. And this is something that 00:06:35.139 --> 00:06:38.199 is so important for women to feel like, you know, 00:06:38.220 --> 00:06:41.600 they get to talk what they actually wish to express 00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.259 to the doctor. Most of the times, and even recently 00:06:44.259 --> 00:06:47.160 from my own experience with my last OBGYN, as 00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.600 I just delivered, I think they have about five 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:51.779 to 10 minutes to hear you out. And then that's 00:06:51.779 --> 00:06:54.199 it. And most of the times you land up leaving 00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:55.980 the office thinking, oh my God, I forgot to mention 00:06:55.980 --> 00:06:57.740 this. And oh my God, I should have probably said 00:06:57.740 --> 00:07:00.600 that. No one inquires about your history, which 00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.480 you've had, let's say, since the time you started 00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.439 your menses. or your mother's history or your 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:07.560 family history. Nobody really cares to ask about 00:07:07.560 --> 00:07:09.560 your diet and your lifestyle and how you're sleeping 00:07:09.560 --> 00:07:12.100 and how you're feeling and the emotional load 00:07:12.100 --> 00:07:13.720 that you've been carrying all these, you know, 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:16.620 past decades. And so when they come to me as 00:07:16.620 --> 00:07:19.379 a homeopath, we start from the beginning. So 00:07:19.379 --> 00:07:21.480 it's not only about the symptoms that you're 00:07:21.480 --> 00:07:24.060 feeling today as a 40 -year -old, which could 00:07:24.060 --> 00:07:26.420 be your perimenopausal symptoms, which could 00:07:26.420 --> 00:07:28.420 be your lethargy, which could be the hormonal 00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:30.779 imbalances and the excess of estrogen and the 00:07:30.779 --> 00:07:33.000 low progesterone and all of the other... conventional 00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.279 lab markers that they come with it's actually 00:07:35.279 --> 00:07:37.720 about understanding you from day one what you've 00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:40.000 been through in this journey starting from your 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:42.879 childhood experiences starting from the relationship 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:44.980 you've had with your siblings with the relationship 00:07:44.980 --> 00:07:47.319 you've had with your parents so it's not only 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:49.899 about addressing that superficial layer it's 00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:51.860 more like peeling off an onion where you have 00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:54.300 layer and layer and layer and you try to dig 00:07:54.300 --> 00:07:57.019 deep to see really where did this start from 00:07:57.019 --> 00:07:59.480 where did that first emotion start from where 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:01.939 did that first symptom start from and i think 00:08:01.939 --> 00:08:04.279 that's what homeopathy is all about it's about 00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.959 uncovering those layers it's about really going 00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.879 as deep as you possibly can to understand this 00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:13.459 woman and not just her hot flush and not just 00:08:13.459 --> 00:08:15.360 you know the fact that she's getting a heavy 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.339 menses or clots in her menses it's about understanding 00:08:18.339 --> 00:08:21.899 her much deeper than that which i feel no other 00:08:21.899 --> 00:08:26.600 therapeutic is really bothering to really go 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.740 that deep into It's funny, isn't it? Because 00:08:28.740 --> 00:08:31.120 I think a lot of people will just go see a doctor 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:33.240 and it's only the symptom that gets treated. 00:08:33.659 --> 00:08:36.600 But what you're saying is it's not just that 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:39.139 symptom. It's going to go all the way back and 00:08:39.139 --> 00:08:41.299 not only look at physically what's happening, 00:08:41.320 --> 00:08:43.580 but also emotionally and mentally as well. Very 00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:45.360 much so. And this is something actually, which 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.220 we're very recently now getting research involved 00:08:48.220 --> 00:08:50.559 into as well, right? So probably two decades 00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:52.860 back, if I told someone, oh, you know, it's because 00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:56.000 you were, let's say, abused as a child that you're 00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:58.039 now getting your men's. you know early or you 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.399 now have pms related symptoms people would be 00:09:00.399 --> 00:09:02.440 like you know how how is it possible how the 00:09:02.440 --> 00:09:04.279 heck is it possible that this is related to that 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.820 but now we have so much research to actually 00:09:06.820 --> 00:09:09.000 support that there's a whole stream of medicine 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:11.940 that's come into a place which is known as psycho 00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.940 neuro endocrino immunology right wow so which 00:09:14.940 --> 00:09:17.460 goes to say that your psyche which is your mental 00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:20.559 state affects your neurological state which affects 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:23.000 your hormones which affects your immunological 00:09:23.000 --> 00:09:26.000 system and so it's all interconnected we are 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.340 just bits and pieces kind of you know lego together 00:09:28.340 --> 00:09:30.940 we're all functioning as a whole there's a single 00:09:30.940 --> 00:09:33.659 energetic force that's going through all of us 00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:36.080 from head to toe that's balancing it all out 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.759 we can't just treat a toe and not treat your 00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:41.179 head we can't you know treat parts and things 00:09:41.179 --> 00:09:43.200 you know in bits and pieces it all has to go 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:46.639 in sync with each other and so that's the real 00:09:46.639 --> 00:09:50.320 charm of the science okay i need to take a little 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.779 step back because i've heard of homeopathy my 00:09:52.779 --> 00:09:54.539 mother -in -law raves about it you know she'll 00:09:54.539 --> 00:09:56.279 be like i'll take these homeopathy pills you 00:09:56.279 --> 00:10:00.100 know but i actually still don't quite understand 00:10:00.100 --> 00:10:03.240 what it is so if you had to explain it you know 00:10:03.240 --> 00:10:06.399 to a brand newbie what would you say homeopathy 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:09.259 actually is For me, homeopathy, honestly, is 00:10:09.259 --> 00:10:11.559 much more than just an alternative system of 00:10:11.559 --> 00:10:13.940 medicine. It's a part of what I've been raised 00:10:13.940 --> 00:10:17.259 with. My father is also a homeopath. And so me 00:10:17.259 --> 00:10:19.720 and my sister were purely raised on homeopathic 00:10:19.720 --> 00:10:21.779 remedies. We didn't know anything else in our 00:10:21.779 --> 00:10:24.519 entire growing up years. So if I were to just 00:10:24.519 --> 00:10:26.519 explain it to somebody else, I would probably 00:10:26.519 --> 00:10:28.919 start from the beginning and talk about how it 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:31.500 originated to give you some context. So this 00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.919 started about more than 200 years ago, where 00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:35.919 there was a German physician by the name of Dr. 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.460 Samuel Hanneman. and he was a conventional doctor 00:10:38.460 --> 00:10:40.779 you know educated in the regular sense seeing 00:10:40.779 --> 00:10:44.179 patients and even 200 years ago he realized that 00:10:44.179 --> 00:10:46.600 you know what something's not right i mean we're 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.379 just suppressing every symptom that this patient 00:10:49.379 --> 00:10:52.419 is coming into treating for so your patient comes 00:10:52.419 --> 00:10:54.200 and tells you okay we have eczema and you give 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.039 them something to kind of put on that eczema 00:10:56.039 --> 00:10:58.480 and then that's it maybe for a day or two or 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.899 a week or a month that patient's better but then 00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:02.700 a month later the patient's coming back with 00:11:02.700 --> 00:11:04.740 either symptoms that are much more worse than 00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:06.899 what they came into you with or this disease 00:11:06.899 --> 00:11:09.000 has now decided to take some other part of the 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:11.440 body and show itself in another way and so he 00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:13.899 realized something's not quite right and that's 00:11:13.899 --> 00:11:15.919 when he started really deep diving doing his 00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.250 research and coming up with this whole new system 00:11:18.250 --> 00:11:20.750 of alternative treatment, which was homeopathy 00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:22.830 at that time. And there are a couple of pillars 00:11:22.830 --> 00:11:25.710 that homeopathy relies on. So the first one being 00:11:25.710 --> 00:11:27.850 that we treat every patient as a whole, which 00:11:27.850 --> 00:11:30.029 is one of the most important things that we look 00:11:30.029 --> 00:11:32.610 at. So a patient coming into us even with a headache 00:11:32.610 --> 00:11:35.029 or a migraine or a patient coming to us with 00:11:35.029 --> 00:11:37.850 a simple cold and a cough and a fever, we would 00:11:37.850 --> 00:11:40.370 like to look at that person as someone who is 00:11:40.370 --> 00:11:43.049 individual and who is different from another 00:11:43.049 --> 00:11:45.909 person suffering from that same disease. it's 00:11:45.909 --> 00:11:48.409 not only about treating a cold in a cuff it's 00:11:48.409 --> 00:11:50.350 about treating a cold in a cuff for jasmine which 00:11:50.350 --> 00:11:52.370 is very different from treating a cold in a cuff 00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:55.029 for amanda which would present itself in a completely 00:11:55.029 --> 00:11:57.830 different way so understanding the differences 00:11:57.830 --> 00:12:00.870 between each individual and treating that so 00:12:00.870 --> 00:12:03.049 one of the main pillars would be that and the 00:12:03.049 --> 00:12:05.190 other i would feel main pillar would be to see 00:12:05.190 --> 00:12:08.860 the mind behind the body so we don't treat the 00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:11.659 symptoms specifically we also treat the emotional 00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:15.080 aspect behind those symptoms because we do somewhere 00:12:15.080 --> 00:12:17.679 believe that the seat of it all is in the mind 00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:19.980 it is that thought which turns into an emotion 00:12:19.980 --> 00:12:22.259 which turns into a pathological emotion which 00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:24.960 turns into an actual physical pathology and so 00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:27.000 somewhere just working on that emotional state 00:12:27.000 --> 00:12:30.379 becomes so healing for that physical symptom 00:12:30.379 --> 00:12:32.299 as well So is there an element of psychology 00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:36.779 in homeopathy? Yes, definitely. We're not trained 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:38.659 psychologists, so I wouldn't call myself that. 00:12:38.779 --> 00:12:41.379 But at the same time, most of our practice is 00:12:41.379 --> 00:12:43.759 trying to understand the person behind the disease. 00:12:43.899 --> 00:12:46.389 It's never just about the symptom. All right, 00:12:46.429 --> 00:12:49.350 big news. The Guzmani Gomez app has officially 00:12:49.350 --> 00:12:51.509 launched in Singapore, and we are already hooked. 00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:53.509 Yes, it's giving convenience with standards. 00:12:53.649 --> 00:12:55.590 You can customize your order, skip the queue, 00:12:55.690 --> 00:12:57.990 and earn loyalty points with GoMex every time 00:12:57.990 --> 00:13:00.610 you order.

Clean is the 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:31.120 new healthy and now it's also the new app. Can 00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:33.519 you give us an example of how you would treat 00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:35.779 somebody then? So let's say it was a woman who 00:13:35.779 --> 00:13:38.820 came in in her 40s and, you know, she's starting 00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:40.299 to go through perimenopause, so she's having 00:13:40.299 --> 00:13:43.580 the standard type of symptoms, you know, brain 00:13:43.580 --> 00:13:49.529 fog. Hot blood. what sort of approach would you 00:13:49.529 --> 00:13:51.409 take and what is the treatment that you would 00:13:51.409 --> 00:13:53.610 give her so the minute a patient walks into the 00:13:53.610 --> 00:13:56.610 cabin it's first about understanding their symptoms 00:13:56.610 --> 00:13:58.990 because generally when they go to you know a 00:13:58.990 --> 00:14:00.809 doctor that's the first thing they would like 00:14:00.809 --> 00:14:03.210 to talk about so we start with that so they feel 00:14:03.210 --> 00:14:05.370 like you know we're kind of working on the same 00:14:05.370 --> 00:14:09.029 page but then eventually it dwells deep into 00:14:09.029 --> 00:14:11.289 much more symptoms so let's say i start off with 00:14:11.289 --> 00:14:13.870 the physical complaints but then i ask them okay 00:14:13.870 --> 00:14:16.590 besides these symptoms what are the other complaints 00:14:16.590 --> 00:14:19.129 that you have unrelated to these symptoms and 00:14:19.129 --> 00:14:20.830 so generally they'll come up with okay you know 00:14:20.830 --> 00:14:23.350 i've always had an had an upset tummy i have 00:14:23.350 --> 00:14:25.690 a lot of bloating or it could be a migraine that 00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:27.789 they've had you know from the teenage years so 00:14:27.789 --> 00:14:29.789 we start going into these associated complaints 00:14:29.789 --> 00:14:32.389 of the body not related to the perimenopausal 00:14:32.389 --> 00:14:34.309 symptoms or menopausal that they would come with 00:14:34.309 --> 00:14:36.710 then we go into something which we call as generalities 00:14:36.710 --> 00:14:38.710 which is basically understanding you from head 00:14:38.710 --> 00:14:41.070 to toe which is your appetite what you like to 00:14:41.070 --> 00:14:44.169 eat how you eat how often do you eat what are 00:14:44.169 --> 00:14:46.629 the things that don't agree with you your intolerances 00:14:46.629 --> 00:14:49.149 your allergies how much water do you drink do 00:14:49.149 --> 00:14:50.809 you like it cold do you like it room temperature 00:14:50.809 --> 00:14:53.129 all of that matters to a homeopath when they're 00:14:53.129 --> 00:14:55.909 trying to assess you how well you sleep how many 00:14:55.909 --> 00:14:58.289 hours do you sleep are you is it easy for you 00:14:58.289 --> 00:15:00.629 to fall asleep or do you wake up multiple times 00:15:00.629 --> 00:15:03.190 in the night things like this which differentiate 00:15:03.190 --> 00:15:06.190 each and every individual from the other you're 00:15:06.190 --> 00:15:08.039 sweating You know, which part of your body do 00:15:08.039 --> 00:15:10.840 you sweat more on? The face. Yeah, does it have 00:15:10.840 --> 00:15:12.440 a smell? But it's not everyone on the face, right? 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.080 Someone will tell me it's just the upper lips. 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:15.899 And some people are like, we only sweat more 00:15:15.899 --> 00:15:17.539 on the top part of our body. Yeah, I'm an underboob 00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:21.019 situation. So everyone has such unique characteristics. 00:15:21.039 --> 00:15:23.220 So it's about picking up all of that then, which 00:15:23.220 --> 00:15:25.460 is, as I said, we label it under the generalities. 00:15:25.740 --> 00:15:28.500 And then we go into the mind. And so that's when 00:15:28.500 --> 00:15:30.440 the two different aspects that I would talk about. 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:32.899 One would be we understand their personality. 00:15:33.279 --> 00:15:35.919 So what they are, what they like, their hobbies. 00:15:35.980 --> 00:15:38.539 what gives them happiness what gets them angry 00:15:38.539 --> 00:15:40.840 what you know how do they show their anger some 00:15:40.840 --> 00:15:42.519 people are very quiet with their anger and they 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:44.879 withdraw some people like to express that anger 00:15:44.879 --> 00:15:47.360 and you know kind of let it all out so try to 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.279 understand that aspect of it and then go into 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:53.000 their entire life situation so starting all the 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.200 way as i said from childhood i like to understand 00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:57.600 you know how was they raised you know were they 00:15:57.600 --> 00:15:59.899 financially you know any stresses were they physically 00:15:59.899 --> 00:16:01.899 any stresses what was their relation to their 00:16:01.899 --> 00:16:03.980 mother to their father did they feel abandoned 00:16:03.980 --> 00:16:06.139 did they feel secure did they feel that kind 00:16:06.139 --> 00:16:08.700 of love that parents should display for their 00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:10.879 children and then going into their college years 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:12.960 and their friendships their relationships you 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.940 know how every single aspect of their life played 00:16:15.940 --> 00:16:18.279 a role And most of the times, you know, of course, 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:19.600 a patient would be like, you know, but is this 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:21.500 really relevant? You know, I mean, why are you 00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.360 getting into all of this? And of course, some 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.000 people like to talk about it and they're really 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:27.379 looking for an outlet to really express all of 00:16:27.379 --> 00:16:29.159 it. And some women are like, OK, you know what? 00:16:29.220 --> 00:16:30.980 I'm not really comfortable, you know, going into 00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:32.759 these aspects of my life because I don't feel 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:34.659 it's related, which is when it becomes really 00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.639 important to explain and understand to this patient 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.220 that, OK, you know what? All of this is a buildup 00:16:40.220 --> 00:16:42.539 of what eventually has led to these symptoms. 00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.519 And again, as I said, you know, now research 00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:46.200 has really caught up with what we've been trying. 00:16:46.320 --> 00:16:49.200 to say for the last two centuries. And so we 00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:51.539 now actually have been able to prove as to how 00:16:51.539 --> 00:16:53.980 every emotion that they feel early on in life. 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:56.679 And so they call these as adverse childhood experiences, 00:16:56.899 --> 00:17:00.240 how they have an impact on a perimenopausal patient 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:02.879 and how it kind of leads to early menarche and 00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:05.079 how it leads to PMS disturbances and estrogen 00:17:05.079 --> 00:17:07.279 dominance and all of that. I feel like you're 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.200 sharing my story, right? Which is to do with, 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:12.559 you know, how you've been treated as a child 00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.259 by your parents, whether it's physical abuse, 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:16.470 whether it's sexual abuse. whether it's you know 00:17:16.470 --> 00:17:18.309 how you've kind of maintained a relationship 00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:20.430 with your siblings and all of that has a role 00:17:20.430 --> 00:17:23.970 to play in your 40s so it's all kind of interconnected 00:17:23.970 --> 00:17:26.609 and so which is why we get into that aspect as 00:17:26.609 --> 00:17:28.710 well and then once I kind of have this whole 00:17:28.710 --> 00:17:30.809 detailed record of you know everything together 00:17:30.809 --> 00:17:33.869 that's when I try to then study the case individualize 00:17:33.869 --> 00:17:35.529 this case and you know kind of try to figure 00:17:35.529 --> 00:17:38.690 out which substance in nature would be the most 00:17:38.690 --> 00:17:42.150 individualistically synchronous with this patient's 00:17:42.150 --> 00:17:45.940 symptoms wow you take something from nature to 00:17:45.940 --> 00:17:48.670 help treat. The patient. Correct. Yeah, that's 00:17:48.670 --> 00:17:50.950 my understanding of homeopathy. Okay, so you 00:17:50.950 --> 00:17:52.269 have to understand, my husband's an allopathic 00:17:52.269 --> 00:17:54.789 physician. Okay. So definitely in that category, 00:17:55.029 --> 00:17:57.549 right? But we do do some lifestyle medicine work 00:17:57.549 --> 00:18:00.069 at the clinic that we work at. So a lot of what 00:18:00.069 --> 00:18:01.869 you're saying rings very, very true to us. And 00:18:01.869 --> 00:18:04.289 as a coach, the coaching approach is very similar 00:18:04.289 --> 00:18:05.809 to what you're talking about, where we go deep 00:18:05.809 --> 00:18:08.369 into the client's history, the way that they 00:18:08.369 --> 00:18:10.289 process information, limiting beliefs, stuff 00:18:10.289 --> 00:18:12.130 like that, right? But I would say the biggest 00:18:12.130 --> 00:18:14.769 stereotype that I'm familiar with about homeopathy 00:18:14.769 --> 00:18:17.670 is that you guys take... like leaves and herbs 00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:20.450 and put them in little droppers and divvy them 00:18:20.450 --> 00:18:23.950 up based on whatever. So can you clarify when 00:18:23.950 --> 00:18:26.009 you get down to the nitty gritties of it, how 00:18:26.009 --> 00:18:28.650 do you match up those things for nature? Coming 00:18:28.650 --> 00:18:30.609 to how our remedies are made, I think that's 00:18:30.609 --> 00:18:32.990 a very big controversial topic. Or just unknown. 00:18:33.230 --> 00:18:35.519 Yes. Our remedies are made from... everything 00:18:35.519 --> 00:18:37.720 that you can possibly have around you in nature, 00:18:37.839 --> 00:18:39.880 whether it's plants, whether it's animals, whether 00:18:39.880 --> 00:18:42.460 it's substances made from animals. We even use 00:18:42.460 --> 00:18:45.759 certain compounds made from human cells to make 00:18:45.759 --> 00:18:48.420 our remedies. And we use certain minerals and 00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:50.759 elements that you find around you. I've heard 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.980 of things like snake venom as well. Yes, yes, 00:18:53.099 --> 00:18:55.500 yes. Very important for actually treating a lot 00:18:55.500 --> 00:18:58.359 of menopausal symptoms. So lachesis, which is 00:18:58.359 --> 00:19:00.420 made from a snake venom, is a very, very important 00:19:00.420 --> 00:19:02.940 remedy for menopausal women. Would colostrum 00:19:02.940 --> 00:19:04.859 come into your... Yes. Okay. Because when you 00:19:04.859 --> 00:19:06.799 say human, I was like, I got a human remedy. 00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:10.160 We actually use bovine colostrum sometimes for 00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.740 the kids. Yes. So we use human colostrum as well. 00:19:12.759 --> 00:19:15.220 We use remedies made from the umbilical cord, 00:19:15.259 --> 00:19:18.920 from placenta. Oh, wow. Did you know I encapsulated 00:19:18.920 --> 00:19:21.539 my placenta? You did. I thought about it. I never 00:19:21.539 --> 00:19:24.339 did. I did with my eldest, not with the twins. 00:19:24.420 --> 00:19:26.900 I didn't have time. And you took it? I took it. 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:30.160 The whole thing? The whole thing. Thoughts? Yeah, 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.819 no, I think people do it. I haven't done it personally. 00:19:33.140 --> 00:19:36.460 But I know that people do compound the placenta 00:19:36.460 --> 00:19:38.059 and they do have it. And it's supposed to be 00:19:38.059 --> 00:19:40.599 very, very beneficial for the mother to kind 00:19:40.599 --> 00:19:42.059 of, you know. I thought it would help with my 00:19:42.059 --> 00:19:44.559 iron. For postpartum as well. And postpartum 00:19:44.559 --> 00:19:46.299 depression. I heard that it was good to sort 00:19:46.299 --> 00:19:48.460 of, you know. The latter I've heard, yeah, more 00:19:48.460 --> 00:19:51.500 evidence for that. But yeah, so our remedies 00:19:51.500 --> 00:19:53.259 are made from everything that you could possibly 00:19:53.259 --> 00:19:56.259 see or feel around you. And there are more and 00:19:56.259 --> 00:19:58.299 more remedies that are coming up into our literature 00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:01.450 every other day. day so i would probably believe 00:20:01.450 --> 00:20:03.349 we have more than three four thousand remedies 00:20:03.349 --> 00:20:07.690 now at our disposal how do you like decide what 00:20:07.690 --> 00:20:11.549 remedy is relevant for you know a particular 00:20:11.549 --> 00:20:14.210 person because like you said everyone will have 00:20:14.210 --> 00:20:16.789 a different reason for feeling different symptoms. 00:20:16.869 --> 00:20:19.589 How do you figure out how to connect it and how 00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:21.109 does it all work? Like does Jasmine need snake 00:20:21.109 --> 00:20:22.910 venom for her cough and cold and I need some 00:20:22.910 --> 00:20:25.769 colostrum? Who needs what? This is something 00:20:25.769 --> 00:20:28.170 which is known as drug -proving. What's that? 00:20:28.410 --> 00:20:30.869 Drug -proving. Okay. So which is basically what 00:20:30.869 --> 00:20:33.549 we do is as homeopaths, and so this is how the 00:20:33.549 --> 00:20:35.250 literature of all of these remedies has come 00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:38.930 up, whereby we give the remedy to healthy people. 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:42.220 before. And so we try to understand the symptoms 00:20:42.220 --> 00:20:44.880 that they are eliciting from that remedy. So, 00:20:44.940 --> 00:20:47.200 for example, you know, if I were to do the remedy 00:20:47.200 --> 00:20:49.579 lachesis, I would take a group of, let's say, 00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:52.460 20 to 30 women, try to understand them completely 00:20:52.460 --> 00:20:55.660 from their original symptoms of their own characteristic 00:20:55.660 --> 00:20:57.539 personality, blah, blah, blah, note everything 00:20:57.539 --> 00:21:00.559 down. Then we introduce the remedy lachesis to 00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:02.859 them and we see what are the newer symptoms that 00:21:02.859 --> 00:21:04.900 are coming up after introducing this remedy. 00:21:05.220 --> 00:21:07.740 Then the person who's kind of doing the drug 00:21:07.740 --> 00:21:10.819 proving should be knowledgeable enough to understand 00:21:10.819 --> 00:21:13.140 which are the new symptoms that have come up 00:21:13.140 --> 00:21:16.180 from all of these 25 30 women we accumulate all 00:21:16.180 --> 00:21:18.359 of them whether it be you know so for example 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:20.000 some women would be like okay you know after 00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:22.099 i started taking lachesis i started developing 00:21:22.099 --> 00:21:24.160 this kind of throbbing which came up on the right 00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:26.480 side of my head so we know that okay lachesis 00:21:26.480 --> 00:21:29.059 has a symptom which is headache more on the right 00:21:29.059 --> 00:21:31.859 side more on the temples and so similarly for 00:21:31.859 --> 00:21:34.019 every single part of the body we try to derive 00:21:34.019 --> 00:21:36.779 these symptoms create a whole list of symptoms 00:21:36.779 --> 00:21:40.769 from that which become our database that we base 00:21:40.769 --> 00:21:43.710 our prescriptions from so now the next time i 00:21:43.710 --> 00:21:45.289 get a patient who comes in and tells me okay 00:21:45.289 --> 00:21:47.170 i have a pain which is on the right side of my 00:21:47.170 --> 00:21:49.750 temples which comes on it's more in women it's 00:21:49.750 --> 00:21:51.470 more in menopausal women i'll be like okay you 00:21:51.470 --> 00:21:54.130 know what lachesis did approving of this particular 00:21:54.130 --> 00:21:56.490 symptom in a patient so i will then know that 00:21:56.490 --> 00:21:58.849 this is to be given for that unfortunately it's 00:21:58.849 --> 00:22:01.920 not so simple because i have to then match a 00:22:01.920 --> 00:22:04.539 whole group of 25 to 30 symptoms from all of 00:22:04.539 --> 00:22:06.740 the 3000 remedies that I have in my database. 00:22:07.019 --> 00:22:10.279 And so it's a very skilled art. So it's not only 00:22:10.279 --> 00:22:12.279 a science, we call it the art and science of 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:14.720 homeopathy, because it's also an art to be able 00:22:14.720 --> 00:22:17.200 to match a picture of a patient to a picture 00:22:17.200 --> 00:22:19.859 of a, you know, substance in nature. Because 00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:21.819 the only thing that I can think of is, you know, 00:22:21.859 --> 00:22:24.019 when you give like a vaccine, and then your body 00:22:24.019 --> 00:22:27.319 develops antibodies to help protect you from 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.059 that. Is it a similar type? Correct. So actually, 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:33.500 The first vaccine that came out was under the 00:22:33.500 --> 00:22:35.680 same principles that homeopathy was trying to 00:22:35.680 --> 00:22:38.099 advocate for at that point of time. And so we 00:22:38.099 --> 00:22:40.099 believe that there's a very synergistic kind 00:22:40.099 --> 00:22:42.319 of a way in which both of them do land up working, 00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:44.180 which you're again, you're right. It's very similar. 00:22:44.279 --> 00:22:46.059 So let me give you an actual simpler example. 00:22:46.140 --> 00:22:49.059 For example, an onion, right? So when you're 00:22:49.059 --> 00:22:50.859 cutting an onion, what are the symptoms that 00:22:50.859 --> 00:22:53.220 you do land up experiencing? Oh God, tears. Tears, 00:22:53.539 --> 00:22:56.460 runny nose, you know, that profuse scurriza burning 00:22:56.460 --> 00:22:59.079 in your eyes. So the remedy that we make from 00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:02.400 onion is known. is allium sepa and so when a 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.539 child has an acute choriza so let's say they 00:23:04.539 --> 00:23:06.559 have an acute cold that's coming on which is 00:23:06.559 --> 00:23:08.380 a runny nose which is burning of the eyes which 00:23:08.380 --> 00:23:10.420 is watering of the eyes we give a remedy allium 00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:13.859 sepa and so it's if you understand that's the 00:23:13.859 --> 00:23:16.480 kind of effect that we do produce so now with 00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:18.200 an onion i mean it was more cutting the onion 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:20.599 but It would be the same thing as taking an onion 00:23:20.599 --> 00:23:22.160 and, you know, developing those same symptoms. 00:23:22.220 --> 00:23:24.660 We match it to a picture of a child who's experiencing 00:23:24.660 --> 00:23:26.700 those same symptoms and then give them that same 00:23:26.700 --> 00:23:28.400 remedy. Yeah, I'm just trying to sort of get 00:23:28.400 --> 00:23:31.500 the gist of everything. So by taking it, it helps 00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:34.920 with the symptom rather than causing more symptoms. 00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:37.119 Of course, of course. So in a diseased person 00:23:37.119 --> 00:23:39.359 who already has the symptoms and the right remedy 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:41.720 is given, it'll help in alleviating those symptoms 00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:45.319 as well. But not in the way that we want to suppress 00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:47.619 the symptom, right? So that's the big difference 00:23:47.619 --> 00:23:49.329 when it comes... to conventional medicine and 00:23:49.329 --> 00:23:51.470 you know any kind of alternative medicine where 00:23:51.470 --> 00:23:53.309 we're not really working against the body we're 00:23:53.309 --> 00:23:55.990 working with the body so even let's say for a 00:23:55.990 --> 00:23:58.089 cold cuff and a fever when i mean so and i work 00:23:58.089 --> 00:24:00.329 a lot with kids so you know parents will often 00:24:00.329 --> 00:24:01.930 be like you know what giving the homeopathic 00:24:01.930 --> 00:24:04.329 is it the same thing as giving a ibgesic or a 00:24:04.329 --> 00:24:07.089 grosin or you know something like that and so 00:24:07.089 --> 00:24:09.490 it doesn't work the same way because my aim is 00:24:09.490 --> 00:24:12.009 not to reduce the fever or my aim is not to simply 00:24:12.009 --> 00:24:14.329 get rid of the choriza and get rid of the cuff 00:24:14.329 --> 00:24:17.069 it's to help the body in actually doing what 00:24:17.069 --> 00:24:19.069 it's trying to do anyways which is get rid of 00:24:19.069 --> 00:24:20.750 the fever and get rid of the cold in the cuff 00:24:20.750 --> 00:24:23.190 but it's just more of an immune support and so 00:24:23.190 --> 00:24:25.589 similarly for women in their 40s when i do land 00:24:25.589 --> 00:24:27.190 up giving the remedies and they ask me you know 00:24:27.190 --> 00:24:28.829 what's it supposed to do you know is it supposed 00:24:28.829 --> 00:24:30.990 to act like the estrogen or the progesterone 00:24:30.990 --> 00:24:33.410 or the you know hormonal replacement therapies 00:24:33.410 --> 00:24:35.650 or things like that it doesn't work that way 00:24:35.650 --> 00:24:38.190 because again the whole aim is to balance out 00:24:38.190 --> 00:24:40.509 the body once the body is in balance once the 00:24:40.509 --> 00:24:43.329 body is in sync once the cells really are communicating 00:24:43.329 --> 00:24:46.230 better with each other automatically a lot of 00:24:46.230 --> 00:24:47.940 the symptoms symptoms get managed and come under 00:24:47.940 --> 00:24:50.640 control. I mean, that is very similar to what 00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:52.599 we tell clients in our clinic as well regarding 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:55.299 metabolic health, right? So it's like, well, 00:24:55.380 --> 00:24:58.400 when will I lose this amount of weight? It's 00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.339 like, well, once you actually balance your body 00:25:00.339 --> 00:25:02.839 composition where you have enough muscle and 00:25:02.839 --> 00:25:04.720 your body fat's under control, then the other 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:06.420 things will try to take care of themselves. I 00:25:06.420 --> 00:25:09.380 feel like that holistic approach is so similar 00:25:09.380 --> 00:25:11.740 even across different disciplines. Exactly, and 00:25:11.740 --> 00:25:13.900 your mind, body, and soul has to be in a certain 00:25:13.900 --> 00:25:17.210 sync, right? And so I feel like even when women 00:25:17.210 --> 00:25:19.750 come in, right, and we see that a lot more, for 00:25:19.750 --> 00:25:22.529 example, in India, where a woman would come in 00:25:22.529 --> 00:25:24.549 with these perimenopausal, menopausal symptoms 00:25:24.549 --> 00:25:27.309 and, you know, we would discuss all of it. And 00:25:27.309 --> 00:25:28.970 eventually while talking to her, you realize 00:25:28.970 --> 00:25:31.329 that, you know what, this woman has suppressed 00:25:31.329 --> 00:25:34.269 every emotion she could possibly feel, starting 00:25:34.269 --> 00:25:36.170 from the way her mother -in -law treated her 00:25:36.170 --> 00:25:38.109 to the way that her husband didn't speak up for 00:25:38.109 --> 00:25:40.150 her. And, you know, now her kids, you know, kind 00:25:40.150 --> 00:25:42.930 of walked all over her and, you know, she's lost 00:25:42.930 --> 00:25:44.970 her ambition or she's lost. you know everything 00:25:44.970 --> 00:25:47.309 else that she kind of valued in life and explaining 00:25:47.309 --> 00:25:49.430 that aspect to her and you know asking her to 00:25:49.430 --> 00:25:51.529 change her emotions and her thoughts and you 00:25:51.529 --> 00:25:54.450 know belief systems around it and standing up 00:25:54.450 --> 00:25:56.390 for herself you know speaking up for herself 00:25:56.390 --> 00:26:00.049 all of that in you know sync with homeopathy 00:26:00.049 --> 00:26:02.650 works beautifully and which is why you know when 00:26:02.650 --> 00:26:04.809 you're dealing with anything it has to be a work 00:26:04.809 --> 00:26:08.049 on every single layer of this woman. What would 00:26:08.049 --> 00:26:10.589 you say to people then who think that homeopathy 00:26:10.589 --> 00:26:14.079 is a placebo or a sugar -coated pill? like what 00:26:14.079 --> 00:26:17.079 how would you respond to that unfortunately uh 00:26:17.079 --> 00:26:21.039 pharma is a bully and pharma has bullied homeopathy 00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:23.839 for the last couple of decades and there have 00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:25.380 been all sorts of articles you know that come 00:26:25.380 --> 00:26:27.599 out in all sorts of media about you know how 00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:29.460 homeopathy doesn't work and you know blah blah 00:26:29.460 --> 00:26:33.049 blah luckily for us because we've invested a 00:26:33.049 --> 00:26:35.230 lot into research and so now even in india for 00:26:35.230 --> 00:26:37.230 example we have a huge government body that's 00:26:37.230 --> 00:26:39.349 only dedicated to doing research in homeopathy 00:26:39.349 --> 00:26:41.609 there's a whole government wing called ayush 00:26:41.609 --> 00:26:43.509 that's come into picture that's supporting alternative 00:26:43.509 --> 00:26:45.910 medicine and so similarly there are many other 00:26:45.910 --> 00:26:48.250 institutions all over that are working very hard 00:26:48.250 --> 00:26:50.549 on trying to prove alternative medicine and you 00:26:50.549 --> 00:26:53.130 know how it works we have enough in more scientific 00:26:53.130 --> 00:26:56.230 papers now to show them and to tell them that 00:26:56.230 --> 00:26:58.089 okay you know what we've done this study we've 00:26:58.089 --> 00:27:00.289 done placebo control we've done double blind 00:27:00.289 --> 00:27:02.480 we've done single blind we've done every single, 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:04.339 you know, scientific requirement that there is. 00:27:04.440 --> 00:27:06.500 And in all of these studies, we've gone on to 00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:08.279 go and show that, okay, homeopathy has shown 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:11.819 better results. So I myself did a study on autism 00:27:11.819 --> 00:27:15.099 back in India for my PhD, where we did a whole 00:27:15.099 --> 00:27:17.700 placebo controlled study. So half the kids were 00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:19.880 given homeopathy, half the kids were not given 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:22.559 homeopathy. And we saw a substantial improvement 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.839 in these kids with autism and their symptoms 00:27:24.839 --> 00:27:26.980 in the group that was given homeopathy as compared 00:27:26.980 --> 00:27:29.900 to the placebo group. So we do have enough science 00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:32.619 that's backing us up. We do have a lot of studies 00:27:32.619 --> 00:27:35.180 that have been done on animals. I work, as I 00:27:35.180 --> 00:27:38.259 said, a lot with kids. You can't do, you know, 00:27:38.299 --> 00:27:40.660 homeopathy works because, you know, homeopathy 00:27:40.660 --> 00:27:42.480 doesn't work because it's a sugar pill on kids. 00:27:42.660 --> 00:27:44.819 I mean, you can see the improvement. With a dog 00:27:44.819 --> 00:27:47.039 who has cancer, when you see that tumor regressing 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:49.480 after homeopathy, you can see that. There's no 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:50.880 way you can say that, okay, you know what, it 00:27:50.880 --> 00:27:53.140 was a placebo effect that came onto this dog 00:27:53.140 --> 00:27:54.940 or a placebo effect that came onto an animal. 00:27:55.480 --> 00:27:58.700 So I feel like those things really go on to prove 00:27:58.700 --> 00:28:01.480 and, you know, support. all the work that a lot 00:28:01.480 --> 00:28:03.180 of the homeopaths have been doing for the last 00:28:03.180 --> 00:28:05.339 couple of centuries. And that would be my answer 00:28:05.339 --> 00:28:07.259 to them, you know, to really actually dig deep 00:28:07.259 --> 00:28:09.500 and not simply go on to what media is trying 00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:12.549 to tell you. Unfortunately, alternative medicine, 00:28:12.809 --> 00:28:15.670 herbs, homeopathy, they can't be patented. So 00:28:15.670 --> 00:28:19.369 because of that, there's a lot of backlash that 00:28:19.369 --> 00:28:22.509 we land up facing. And unfortunately, it is what 00:28:22.509 --> 00:28:25.289 it is. It'll never be big bucks, right? So therefore, 00:28:25.710 --> 00:28:28.009 it'll never have that kind of clout behind it. 00:28:28.069 --> 00:28:30.710 Exactly, exactly. Are there limits of homeopathy? 00:28:30.750 --> 00:28:32.970 So you just mentioned cancer in terms of tumor 00:28:32.970 --> 00:28:35.710 regression in dogs. Are there limits where you 00:28:35.710 --> 00:28:38.490 would say this probably is beyond the scope of 00:28:38.490 --> 00:28:41.240 homeopathy? I do feel like in any kind of an 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:44.309 emergency medicine. accidents, you know, where 00:28:44.309 --> 00:28:46.730 surgeries are required. Massive blood loss. Yes, 00:28:46.730 --> 00:28:49.029 exactly. So when you need to go, you need to 00:28:49.029 --> 00:28:51.710 go. But I feel like for a lot of chronic diseases, 00:28:52.009 --> 00:28:54.410 I feel like that's where alternative medicine 00:28:54.410 --> 00:28:56.950 really shines, right? Or for example, even with 00:28:56.950 --> 00:28:58.789 kids, when I'm working with kids and, you know, 00:28:58.829 --> 00:29:01.069 parents don't want to keep drugging them, they 00:29:01.069 --> 00:29:02.569 don't want to give the nebulization and they 00:29:02.569 --> 00:29:04.549 don't want to, you know, kind of do the steroids 00:29:04.549 --> 00:29:07.109 for the eczema and things like that. Again, that's 00:29:07.109 --> 00:29:09.289 where homeopathy really, really shines as a first 00:29:09.289 --> 00:29:11.289 line of treatment, I would say, as compared to, 00:29:11.309 --> 00:29:13.500 you know, trying to take... other medications 00:29:13.500 --> 00:29:16.380 into the picture. Is there receptivity for that 00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:19.220 in Singapore? Because I feel like in the US, 00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:22.680 there is more distrust of big pharma. There's 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.319 more distrust of the medical industry. In Singapore, 00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.299 I feel the opposite is true. I feel that medical 00:29:27.299 --> 00:29:30.779 authority reigns supreme here. So how do you 00:29:30.779 --> 00:29:33.460 find that homeopathy is received by families, 00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.599 individuals? So I feel like... I feel like I 00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:39.279 while I would feel like expats do land up being 00:29:39.279 --> 00:29:42.599 the crux of my practice. And so, you know, people 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:45.579 again, you know, Indians, we are hugely believers 00:29:45.579 --> 00:29:48.119 of alternative medicine, homeopathy, Ayurveda, 00:29:48.259 --> 00:29:50.779 even for that matter, Europeans, and I have Brazilians 00:29:50.779 --> 00:29:53.460 as my patients, and you know, Russians and Ukrainians, 00:29:53.460 --> 00:29:57.059 and you know, Americans, exactly a lot of Britishers, 00:29:57.099 --> 00:29:59.220 you know, who do kind of have that trust in homeopathy. 00:29:59.359 --> 00:30:02.079 I feel like the locals are very pharma minded, 00:30:02.160 --> 00:30:04.400 you are absolutely right there. But at the same 00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:06.980 time, I feel like they do believe in TCM right 00:30:06.980 --> 00:30:09.500 so then again I'm very happy if they're doing 00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:11.299 some alternative medicine you know or they're 00:30:11.299 --> 00:30:13.539 taking it in some or the other way I mean it's 00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:15.319 not only about you know okay you have to take 00:30:15.319 --> 00:30:17.799 homeopathy it's just about really addressing 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.299 those issues from a different standpoint as compared 00:30:20.299 --> 00:30:23.039 to suppressing them I mean I feel like even if 00:30:23.039 --> 00:30:25.599 you're okay with doing TCM I'm very happy I'm 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.119 very happy if you want to do your acupuncture 00:30:27.119 --> 00:30:28.460 I'm very happy you know if you want to do your 00:30:28.460 --> 00:30:30.000 functional medicine or whatever it is because 00:30:30.000 --> 00:30:32.279 they're all eventually working towards the same 00:30:32.279 --> 00:30:35.049 goal But it's just about really understanding 00:30:35.049 --> 00:30:37.049 your body predominantly. I feel like as long 00:30:37.049 --> 00:30:39.869 as you're open to doing that, which again, post 00:30:39.869 --> 00:30:41.970 -COVID, I feel like there was a whole boom and 00:30:41.970 --> 00:30:43.529 people thought, okay, you know what, alternative 00:30:43.529 --> 00:30:45.509 medicine is coming back. People are relying more 00:30:45.509 --> 00:30:47.950 on your echinacea and your other herbs, you know, 00:30:47.950 --> 00:30:49.670 to kind of help you with your colds and cuffs 00:30:49.670 --> 00:30:51.730 and things like that. But I feel like it's gone 00:30:51.730 --> 00:30:54.289 back, you know, because I still feel like for 00:30:54.289 --> 00:30:57.029 conditions, for example, like cancer, even though 00:30:57.029 --> 00:30:59.029 in the last couple of decades, you know, the 00:30:59.029 --> 00:31:00.930 treatment's been more or less, you know, around 00:31:00.930 --> 00:31:03.299 chemotherapy and radiation. and you know surgery 00:31:03.299 --> 00:31:06.059 and you know now i think people really need to 00:31:06.059 --> 00:31:08.420 change their mind shift a little bit and be like 00:31:08.420 --> 00:31:10.940 okay you know what why did i get cancer why did 00:31:10.940 --> 00:31:13.859 that cell go undetected in my body that my immune 00:31:13.859 --> 00:31:16.220 system was supposed to you know kill and clear 00:31:16.220 --> 00:31:18.460 out of the system you know what really went wrong 00:31:18.460 --> 00:31:22.430 was i really so emotionally unavailable at that 00:31:22.430 --> 00:31:25.009 point of time was, you know, that sense of loneliness 00:31:25.009 --> 00:31:27.589 so strong in my body at that point of time that, 00:31:27.630 --> 00:31:29.789 you know, this cancer cell absolutely thought 00:31:29.789 --> 00:31:32.970 of thriving in a body like mine. And so I feel 00:31:32.970 --> 00:31:35.029 like that introspection really needs to come 00:31:35.029 --> 00:31:37.349 in for everything, whether it be cancer, whether 00:31:37.349 --> 00:31:39.329 it be menopause, whether it be, you know, hormonal 00:31:39.329 --> 00:31:41.690 imbalances. And you see that more often than 00:31:41.690 --> 00:31:44.190 not, right? That there is that emotional, you 00:31:44.190 --> 00:31:46.890 know, thing that's kind of deep seated behind 00:31:46.890 --> 00:31:50.019 every disease. Amanda, you know how people always 00:31:50.019 --> 00:31:51.920 ask us, what supplements do you actually take? 00:31:52.240 --> 00:31:53.920 Yeah, it's like they think there's some magical 00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:56.640 midlife stack that'll just fix everything. Exactly. 00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:58.539 And while there's no magic, I do like things 00:31:58.539 --> 00:32:00.619 that are intentional and well -formulated like 00:32:00.619 --> 00:32:03.200 the Longevity Bundle from Avea Life. It's one 00:32:03.200 --> 00:32:04.920 of the few supplements I'd actually recommend. 00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.460 NMN for cellular energy, booster with antioxidants 00:32:08.460 --> 00:32:11.160 to support recovery and stress, and a collagen 00:32:11.160 --> 00:32:13.279 activator because joints and skin need some love 00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:16.220 too. Honestly, it's just smart. Three products 00:32:16.220 --> 00:32:30.940 that support how we live. How do you determine 00:32:30.940 --> 00:32:34.740 whether it's lifestyle, their gut, their hormones, 00:32:34.980 --> 00:32:37.599 their emotional well -being, or do you just think 00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:40.240 it's like an overlap of everything when it comes 00:32:40.240 --> 00:32:42.849 to... finding the root cause of what's going 00:32:42.849 --> 00:32:46.049 on i generally find it's an overlap i would so 00:32:46.049 --> 00:32:49.029 homeopathy is not very big on testing as functional 00:32:49.029 --> 00:32:51.910 medicine is so while we do of course we would 00:32:51.910 --> 00:32:53.509 love to look at your lab reports and we would 00:32:53.509 --> 00:32:56.150 love to see you know where you're standing metabolically 00:32:56.839 --> 00:32:59.339 I feel like it's a lot about really understanding 00:32:59.339 --> 00:33:02.059 a little bit more deeper than that. And so I 00:33:02.059 --> 00:33:04.680 would technically work on everything. My advice 00:33:04.680 --> 00:33:06.420 to the patient at the end of a consult would 00:33:06.420 --> 00:33:08.259 not only be, okay, take this medicine and go 00:33:08.259 --> 00:33:10.319 home. It would always be, okay, you know what, 00:33:10.400 --> 00:33:12.180 let's work on this. Let's work on, you know, 00:33:12.220 --> 00:33:14.339 your diet. Are you exercising? You know, where's 00:33:14.339 --> 00:33:17.640 that going? Or your emotions, your relationships 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:19.680 with your partner, your relationships with your 00:33:19.680 --> 00:33:22.240 children, you know, how is that going? Your supplements, 00:33:22.339 --> 00:33:24.000 okay, you know what, maybe we should start taking 00:33:24.000 --> 00:33:25.660 an omega. Maybe we should, you know, introduce 00:33:25.660 --> 00:33:28.349 a vitamin. d3 things like that so i feel like 00:33:28.349 --> 00:33:31.089 it has to be an overall approach when you're 00:33:31.089 --> 00:33:33.130 coming to any kind of an holistic practitioner 00:33:33.130 --> 00:33:35.309 where you're not only just you know because i 00:33:35.309 --> 00:33:36.450 feel like at the end of the day if i'm giving 00:33:36.450 --> 00:33:38.269 you medicine i'm working like a conventional 00:33:38.269 --> 00:33:40.230 doctor where you know i expect that that's going 00:33:40.230 --> 00:33:42.390 to just work on you and then that's it but that 00:33:42.390 --> 00:33:45.130 same lifestyle that kind of created this disease 00:33:45.130 --> 00:33:47.730 has to be changed if you really want to get better 00:33:47.730 --> 00:33:49.950 you have to look at you know what food you're 00:33:49.950 --> 00:33:52.190 eating you have to change a lot of things around 00:33:52.190 --> 00:33:56.609 your life to to feel that way and so yeah are 00:33:56.609 --> 00:34:00.390 there any therapies that work well with homeopathy 00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:03.710 so homeopathy is luckily one of those systems 00:34:03.710 --> 00:34:06.390 that works well with everything and so for example 00:34:06.390 --> 00:34:09.289 even when women come in for example you know 00:34:09.289 --> 00:34:11.070 who have diabetes and you know who've been on 00:34:11.070 --> 00:34:13.969 medications for the last decade and they always 00:34:13.969 --> 00:34:15.929 ask you know can i take homeopathy along with 00:34:15.929 --> 00:34:17.789 the medications that i'm taking along with the 00:34:17.789 --> 00:34:20.269 metformin or along with the insulin homeopathy 00:34:20.269 --> 00:34:22.130 can be taken with everything because it doesn't 00:34:22.130 --> 00:34:24.449 work on the same plane that any of the other 00:34:24.449 --> 00:34:27.150 modalities work the plane that homeopathy really 00:34:27.150 --> 00:34:29.590 works in as i explained is the energetic plane 00:34:29.590 --> 00:34:32.230 so for us it's about balancing that energy in 00:34:32.230 --> 00:34:35.030 the body using our medications so a metformin 00:34:35.030 --> 00:34:37.409 will work on a very physiological plane whereas 00:34:37.409 --> 00:34:39.989 for us it's working on that whole energetic plane 00:34:39.989 --> 00:34:41.739 so whether it's functional medicine and whether 00:34:41.739 --> 00:34:43.579 it's supplements, whether it's acupuncture, whether 00:34:43.579 --> 00:34:46.280 it's, you know, TCM or Ayurveda, homeopathy can 00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:49.139 be taken together and works very well for everything 00:34:49.139 --> 00:34:50.900 because it's working on a very different plane. 00:34:51.179 --> 00:34:52.860 It's doing its own thing, you know, no matter 00:34:52.860 --> 00:34:54.940 whatever else you're taking. That was my question. 00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:57.679 It was Ayurveda. Yes. So like... Is there any, 00:34:57.760 --> 00:34:59.659 so Ayurveda, my understanding is kind of there's 00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:01.380 three different typologies, right? You're a pitta 00:35:01.380 --> 00:35:03.840 or a kapha. Well, you know more than me. I have 00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:06.079 no idea what it is. Only because I went and did 00:35:06.079 --> 00:35:08.000 an Ayurvedic medicine consultation when I was 00:35:08.000 --> 00:35:10.320 in Sri Lanka. Okay. And they said I was a pitta 00:35:10.320 --> 00:35:13.320 anyway. But is there any such typology in homeopathy 00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:15.500 where you kind of divide people into categories 00:35:15.500 --> 00:35:19.300 based on a kind of cluster of symptoms? So there 00:35:19.300 --> 00:35:22.719 are, and we call them as myisms in homeopathy. 00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:26.239 Myisms? Myisms, yeah. So basically it's about... 00:35:26.280 --> 00:35:28.400 you're a psoric myosin or you're a psychotic 00:35:28.400 --> 00:35:31.119 myosin. I hope I'm not a psychotic myosin. That 00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.000 does not sound like a place I need to be. Yeah. 00:35:35.119 --> 00:35:37.380 So broadly, they're just these three myosins. 00:35:37.519 --> 00:35:40.159 So a psoric would be more of a functional level 00:35:40.159 --> 00:35:42.260 kind of a symptom. So let's say you have an age 00:35:42.260 --> 00:35:44.019 or you have a little bit of an ache and pain. 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:46.920 Psoric. Psychotic would be more of an overgrowth, 00:35:47.039 --> 00:35:49.360 right? So any kind of cells that are multiplying, 00:35:49.539 --> 00:35:52.199 whether it is, you know, ovarian cyst or whether 00:35:52.199 --> 00:35:55.079 it is, you know, a lipoma or diabetes for that 00:35:55.079 --> 00:35:57.300 matter. right for example when you're when you 00:35:57.300 --> 00:35:59.500 don't have enough insulin you know cells in the 00:35:59.500 --> 00:36:01.440 body so you kind of decrease or increase in the 00:36:01.440 --> 00:36:04.000 number of cells that could kind of clump together 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:06.559 we call that psychotic and syphilitic myosin 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.519 which would be the most destructive myosin would 00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.940 be you know conditions and diseases where there 00:36:10.940 --> 00:36:13.579 would be actually you know hardcore necrosis 00:36:13.579 --> 00:36:17.190 for example or you know tissues dying or cancer 00:36:17.190 --> 00:36:19.309 for that matter it's end stage and things like 00:36:19.309 --> 00:36:21.210 that would go into the whole syphilitic myosin 00:36:21.210 --> 00:36:23.949 so we would broadly classify them into that those 00:36:23.949 --> 00:36:26.489 myosins but it's not something that we actively 00:36:26.489 --> 00:36:28.550 use when we're prescribing or it's not something 00:36:28.550 --> 00:36:30.949 at least i actively use when prescribing so that's 00:36:30.949 --> 00:36:32.610 more of kind of like a foundational knowledge 00:36:32.610 --> 00:36:34.889 for you and then you draw from all those things 00:36:34.889 --> 00:36:36.869 okay for me i think the most important thing 00:36:36.869 --> 00:36:38.889 is just talking right so you just talk to your 00:36:38.889 --> 00:36:40.690 client and you just talk and talk and talk to 00:36:40.690 --> 00:36:42.750 a point where you know you really where they 00:36:42.750 --> 00:36:44.849 really realize you know a lot of the things in 00:36:44.849 --> 00:36:47.019 their life because no one really spoken to them 00:36:47.019 --> 00:36:48.679 that way or no one's really asked them those 00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:51.159 kind of questions and so women in their 40s would 00:36:51.159 --> 00:36:52.719 come in and i'd be like you know could you explain 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:54.800 you know describe yourself you know to me or 00:36:54.800 --> 00:36:56.699 give me a little idea of who you are as a person 00:36:56.699 --> 00:36:58.539 and they'd be like oh my god i haven't really 00:36:58.539 --> 00:37:01.610 thought about this And, you know, you're now 00:37:01.610 --> 00:37:03.869 in your 40s and, you know, you don't really still 00:37:03.869 --> 00:37:06.449 know who you are because no one's really asked 00:37:06.449 --> 00:37:08.190 those questions to you or you haven't really 00:37:08.190 --> 00:37:10.329 taken out the time or got the time to really 00:37:10.329 --> 00:37:12.929 think about it yourself. Yeah. Which is just 00:37:12.929 --> 00:37:15.750 quite surprising for them as well because it's 00:37:15.750 --> 00:37:18.369 a big realization that, oh, my God. So you've 00:37:18.369 --> 00:37:20.210 mentioned that you work with children as well. 00:37:20.349 --> 00:37:23.469 Do you find there's patterns that might be repeating 00:37:23.469 --> 00:37:27.250 between sort of mothers and their kids? oh yes 00:37:27.250 --> 00:37:30.269 a hundred percent a hundred percent and so mothers 00:37:30.269 --> 00:37:32.570 see that very often again when i ask them that 00:37:32.570 --> 00:37:34.789 question right and so let's say a mother would 00:37:34.789 --> 00:37:36.889 get me a child and the child has you know extreme 00:37:36.889 --> 00:37:39.590 amounts of anxiety and i'd be like okay you know 00:37:39.590 --> 00:37:41.369 could you describe your pregnancy to me a little 00:37:41.369 --> 00:37:43.469 bit and she'd be like oh my god it was an ivf 00:37:43.469 --> 00:37:46.050 baby and you know we were always worried what's 00:37:46.050 --> 00:37:48.579 gonna happen and you know just something as simple 00:37:48.579 --> 00:37:50.820 as that you know that pattern of of what the 00:37:50.820 --> 00:37:53.519 mother felt during her pregnancy passes on to 00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:55.039 the child and the child kind of you know then 00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:57.820 develops a similar state yeah and so a hundred 00:37:57.820 --> 00:37:59.760 percent a hundred percent and i have to bring 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:01.440 up the article that just came out that i posted 00:38:01.440 --> 00:38:04.300 about the other day the one about how mothers 00:38:04.300 --> 00:38:06.920 who exercise and lift weights in pregnancy their 00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:09.760 kids have better muscle tone at birth and more 00:38:09.760 --> 00:38:11.619 muscle development in their first five years 00:38:11.619 --> 00:38:13.659 of life i mean that's that's real talk right 00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:17.650 yeah so you know what what happens utero doesn't 00:38:17.650 --> 00:38:19.730 go unnoticed in those early years of life is 00:38:19.730 --> 00:38:22.489 the whole point in fact i was just going through 00:38:22.489 --> 00:38:24.630 another study that i was researching for this 00:38:24.630 --> 00:38:26.989 talk where it was done in singapore where they 00:38:26.989 --> 00:38:29.730 found out that the mother's mental state and 00:38:29.730 --> 00:38:32.610 her happiness levels when she was in her 36 or 00:38:32.610 --> 00:38:35.610 38 weeks of pregnancy actually impacted how the 00:38:35.610 --> 00:38:37.670 kids felt when they were seven years old yes 00:38:37.670 --> 00:38:39.869 i saw that that that's part of my that was that 00:38:39.869 --> 00:38:43.380 came up in research for my book yes I mean, there's 00:38:43.380 --> 00:38:46.340 more and more in utero research that now we have 00:38:46.340 --> 00:38:47.980 launched. And we've been taking those symptoms 00:38:47.980 --> 00:38:50.019 in homeopathy for the last two centuries where 00:38:50.019 --> 00:38:52.460 we always ask a mother who comes in for a consult 00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:54.880 for a child, how was your state during pregnancy? 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:56.900 How were you physically? How were you emotionally? 00:38:57.179 --> 00:38:59.039 Because more often than not, it's transmitted. 00:38:59.260 --> 00:39:01.780 And most of the times, moms land up feeling guilty 00:39:01.780 --> 00:39:03.039 when you ask that question. They're like, oh 00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:04.900 my God, did I do something wrong? Is it because 00:39:04.900 --> 00:39:07.679 of me that my child is like that? But it's not 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:09.739 that. It's just about more understanding that 00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:12.150 state of the mother. during that point of time 00:39:12.150 --> 00:39:16.329 it's funny you say that because I was in the 00:39:16.329 --> 00:39:19.530 UK while I was pregnant with my first child my 00:39:19.530 --> 00:39:21.929 husband was here in Singapore and I did have 00:39:21.929 --> 00:39:25.550 this sort of constant state of anxiety a little 00:39:25.550 --> 00:39:27.050 bit you know is the baby going to come early 00:39:27.050 --> 00:39:29.309 you know what's going to happen and actually 00:39:29.309 --> 00:39:31.849 my eldest son sometimes he has these tendencies 00:39:31.849 --> 00:39:35.760 to feel Like, he's got a bit of, I mean, it's 00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:37.760 not crazy, it's nothing serious, but, you know, 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:40.699 he does have these tendencies. And I feel bad. 00:39:40.739 --> 00:39:43.219 I'm like, oh, shit, was it my fault? You know, 00:39:43.219 --> 00:39:45.800 like, does he feel this way because of the way 00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:48.420 I felt during that part of my pregnancy? But 00:39:48.420 --> 00:39:50.360 then I look at the twins and I was here, you 00:39:50.360 --> 00:39:52.539 know, I felt, I mean, other than feeling huge, 00:39:52.659 --> 00:39:57.239 I felt large. And their mindset is completely 00:39:57.239 --> 00:40:01.429 different. Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? It is. 00:40:01.449 --> 00:40:03.590 And I noticed that for my two kids now as well, 00:40:03.670 --> 00:40:05.170 right? Because you're always anxious for your 00:40:05.170 --> 00:40:07.769 first one, I feel. I noticed that the elder one's 00:40:07.769 --> 00:40:09.929 always a little more anxious with their personality 00:40:09.929 --> 00:40:11.989 as compared to my younger one now, who's just 00:40:11.989 --> 00:40:14.010 two months. But I can see that she's very zen 00:40:14.010 --> 00:40:16.309 and she's very calm and she's got her own, you 00:40:16.309 --> 00:40:18.010 know, thing going. She doesn't need me too much. 00:40:18.190 --> 00:40:19.989 And I'm like, OK, you know what? Maybe it does 00:40:19.989 --> 00:40:21.849 matter, you know, your state of mind for sure. 00:40:21.869 --> 00:40:24.630 And you see it. Absolutely. I think there's definitely 00:40:24.630 --> 00:40:26.510 truth in that. Like I said, physical, physiological, 00:40:26.889 --> 00:40:29.210 psychological. I definitely see that. Are there 00:40:29.210 --> 00:40:33.409 any gentle remedies that you can recommend to 00:40:33.409 --> 00:40:36.389 women in general that they should be taking? 00:40:36.449 --> 00:40:39.070 For example, like we are, you know, like women 00:40:39.070 --> 00:40:40.570 should be taking creatine. They should probably 00:40:40.570 --> 00:40:43.349 be taking vitamin D3 or some magnesium. Yeah, 00:40:43.349 --> 00:40:46.070 omegas. Yeah, omegas. Is there anything like 00:40:46.070 --> 00:40:49.130 that? in homeopathy homeopathic medicine is that 00:40:49.130 --> 00:40:52.230 right yeah that you would say to women you know 00:40:52.230 --> 00:40:54.389 like this most of us should be taking it yeah 00:40:54.389 --> 00:40:57.550 while homeopathy as i said is individualistic 00:40:57.550 --> 00:41:00.829 so again you're not i would love it if you know 00:41:00.829 --> 00:41:02.929 i would understand a patient before you know 00:41:02.929 --> 00:41:04.449 they would start taking anything and everything 00:41:04.449 --> 00:41:06.989 there are many over -the -counter remedies now 00:41:06.989 --> 00:41:09.349 available for everything right so for hot flushes 00:41:09.349 --> 00:41:11.510 or for menopause we do have certain combination 00:41:11.510 --> 00:41:13.989 remedies which wouldn't be just one homeopathic 00:41:13.989 --> 00:41:16.349 remedy but probably they've noticed okay these 00:41:16.349 --> 00:41:19.050 10 remedies really work very well on women with 00:41:19.050 --> 00:41:20.889 these particular symptoms and so they kind of 00:41:20.889 --> 00:41:22.869 combine them and package them and you know kind 00:41:22.869 --> 00:41:25.550 of market it for that and they do work i would 00:41:25.550 --> 00:41:27.590 say they would work on about 50 to 60 percent 00:41:27.590 --> 00:41:29.559 of the women taking it So it would be a good 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:32.300 chance to take. But at the same time, it wouldn't 00:41:32.300 --> 00:41:33.980 work for some. And then they would have that 00:41:33.980 --> 00:41:35.900 impression, oh, homeopathy doesn't work. And 00:41:35.900 --> 00:41:38.300 that's where it sucks, right? Because then you're 00:41:38.300 --> 00:41:39.880 like, OK, you know what? Maybe you just needed 00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:41.940 something other than those 10 remedies from the 00:41:41.940 --> 00:41:44.519 other, you know, 3000 remedies we have. So while 00:41:44.519 --> 00:41:46.340 it's always better to get that individualistic 00:41:46.340 --> 00:41:48.800 prescription, there are many remedies that are 00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:51.199 very good for conditions, you know, around hormone 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:53.519 balancing or around the perimenopause, menopause 00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:56.099 stage in women. Separately, for example, I was 00:41:56.099 --> 00:41:58.829 in Guardian. And they've got these lollipops. 00:41:59.090 --> 00:42:03.070 They're like the homeopathy ones. They're Australian 00:42:03.070 --> 00:42:05.690 company. I don't know what else is in there. 00:42:05.869 --> 00:42:08.170 There are homeopathy remedies, which they've 00:42:08.170 --> 00:42:10.309 put in the lollipops for kids. And so they've 00:42:10.309 --> 00:42:12.710 made it for travel sickness, for cold, for fever. 00:42:13.590 --> 00:42:15.610 I have not seen that. I mean, I've not been in 00:42:15.610 --> 00:42:17.369 a Guardian lately, I guess. I went in there. 00:42:17.469 --> 00:42:20.849 I live in a Guardian. I picked up a box. And 00:42:20.849 --> 00:42:23.130 now every time my son opens up the cupboard and 00:42:23.130 --> 00:42:26.420 he sees these lollipops, he's like... I mean, 00:42:26.420 --> 00:42:27.659 I've got a cough. I'm like, no, you don't have 00:42:27.659 --> 00:42:29.079 a cough. You haven't coughed all day. Now all 00:42:29.079 --> 00:42:30.500 of a sudden you've got a cough. Oh, that's band 00:42:30.500 --> 00:42:32.860 -aids in my house. It's like, my daughter will 00:42:32.860 --> 00:42:34.539 be like, you see this little mark? I need a band 00:42:34.539 --> 00:42:36.039 -aid. I'm like, that's a freckle. You were born 00:42:36.039 --> 00:42:38.219 with a freckle. Are they like Paw Patrol ones 00:42:38.219 --> 00:42:40.320 or something? All different. I made the mistake 00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:43.079 of getting all the cool ones. Right, a woman 00:42:43.079 --> 00:42:45.340 comes to you. She's flatlined. She's got no energy, 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:49.320 no libido, no, you know, like no desire really 00:42:49.320 --> 00:42:53.440 in life. you know, obviously you'll sit there, 00:42:53.519 --> 00:42:55.820 you'll go through her sort of mental wellbeing, 00:42:56.019 --> 00:42:58.760 her emotional wellbeing. Is there anything else 00:42:58.760 --> 00:43:01.119 that you would recommend to her to do? I feel 00:43:01.119 --> 00:43:03.130 like... it would start with a homeopathic remedy 00:43:03.130 --> 00:43:06.449 definitely is what I would ask her to start on 00:43:06.449 --> 00:43:08.550 and then what happens is a lot of the things 00:43:08.550 --> 00:43:11.389 change after the remedy so they often ask me 00:43:11.389 --> 00:43:13.070 okay what do we expect you know after we take 00:43:13.070 --> 00:43:15.010 a remedy you know are we expecting you know the 00:43:15.010 --> 00:43:16.690 next month my menses are going to be regular 00:43:16.690 --> 00:43:19.010 are we expecting this are we expecting that and 00:43:19.010 --> 00:43:21.590 so I feel like every remedy again has a very 00:43:21.590 --> 00:43:24.369 different reaction on every single person based 00:43:24.369 --> 00:43:27.369 on their constitution so what happens is let's 00:43:27.369 --> 00:43:28.809 say a woman like this you know walks into the 00:43:28.809 --> 00:43:31.179 clinic there could be one woman who would take 00:43:31.179 --> 00:43:34.119 that remedy and would you know suddenly realize 00:43:34.119 --> 00:43:37.019 what's been wrong in her life and rectify that 00:43:37.019 --> 00:43:39.280 right so for example you know women come from 00:43:39.280 --> 00:43:41.019 let's say a really bad marriage you know husbands 00:43:41.019 --> 00:43:43.480 you know just never been available for her one 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.460 woman would get up and be like okay you know 00:43:45.460 --> 00:43:47.260 what this is not working out for me i need a 00:43:47.260 --> 00:43:51.489 divorce wow so There are these extreme reactions 00:43:51.489 --> 00:43:53.469 that can come out. Or there could be another 00:43:53.469 --> 00:43:55.250 woman who would be like, you know what? Okay, 00:43:55.389 --> 00:43:58.010 it's okay the way he is. I'm going to accept 00:43:58.010 --> 00:43:59.670 the way he is and I'm going to, you know, kind 00:43:59.670 --> 00:44:01.889 of go on with it. But I'm not going to let it 00:44:01.889 --> 00:44:04.130 affect me. Yes. You know, so I'm going to build 00:44:04.130 --> 00:44:06.929 that strength around myself. So there could be 00:44:06.929 --> 00:44:09.030 these completely different reactions that come 00:44:09.030 --> 00:44:11.889 about with the exact same remedy. So it all depends 00:44:11.889 --> 00:44:14.409 on, again, you know, your constitution and how 00:44:14.409 --> 00:44:17.090 you are. But it works towards trying to make 00:44:17.090 --> 00:44:19.780 a better life for yourself. ahead to a point 00:44:19.780 --> 00:44:21.980 where you know eventually the symptoms that you 00:44:21.980 --> 00:44:25.059 came to me for will improve so i would have women 00:44:25.059 --> 00:44:26.559 you know would come in and tell me okay you know 00:44:26.559 --> 00:44:28.500 what we i spoke up to my husband you know saying 00:44:28.500 --> 00:44:30.539 that you know the mother -in -law situation is 00:44:30.539 --> 00:44:32.360 not working out too well for me we need to move 00:44:32.360 --> 00:44:34.820 out of the house and so now in the next two three 00:44:34.820 --> 00:44:36.579 months they're going to try to move out of the 00:44:36.579 --> 00:44:38.159 house and you know find a space for themselves 00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:41.300 this woman now feels like you know she's she's 00:44:41.300 --> 00:44:43.460 got that strength to go through these kind of 00:44:43.460 --> 00:44:45.659 important decisions in her life automatically 00:44:45.659 --> 00:44:48.099 a lot of her pms symptoms got better automatically 00:44:48.099 --> 00:44:50.579 you know the clots started disappearing of course 00:44:50.579 --> 00:44:52.780 the remedies do have an action on the you know 00:44:52.780 --> 00:44:54.679 hormonal balancing and so they're working towards 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:57.360 that but mentally also it has a very huge role 00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.159 to play so it's almost like a caution you might 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:10.300 get divorced do you have any special case studies 00:45:10.300 --> 00:45:12.440 you can share with us where you know someone's 00:45:12.440 --> 00:45:15.489 come in for nothing else worked yeah like they 00:45:15.489 --> 00:45:19.469 tried everything you know but you managed to 00:45:19.469 --> 00:45:21.130 figure out it wasn't what they thought it was 00:45:21.130 --> 00:45:23.550 it was something else and how did you help them 00:45:23.550 --> 00:45:26.429 so i feel like lot of these uh unique kind of 00:45:26.429 --> 00:45:29.090 cases do come on right and so for example when 00:45:29.090 --> 00:45:31.110 a woman comes in with her hormonal imbalance 00:45:31.110 --> 00:45:34.250 and so probably i could discuss a case of a 41 00:45:34.250 --> 00:45:37.570 year old woman who had come to me and she came 00:45:37.570 --> 00:45:40.449 to me after visiting three gynecs and she was 00:45:40.449 --> 00:45:43.489 you know she came across to me as a very closed 00:45:43.489 --> 00:45:46.730 a very uh you know skeptical person and so sometimes 00:45:46.730 --> 00:45:48.650 people do walk in with that because they're like 00:45:48.650 --> 00:45:49.710 okay you know we don't know what we're getting 00:45:49.710 --> 00:45:52.110 into or we don't know what she's gonna ask me 00:45:52.110 --> 00:45:54.920 or you know how it's gonna be And so she was 00:45:54.920 --> 00:45:56.659 just, you know, disgruntled with the way she'd 00:45:56.659 --> 00:45:58.699 been kind of treated with the last three gynecs. 00:45:58.780 --> 00:46:00.519 And she spoke about all her poor experiences 00:46:00.519 --> 00:46:02.780 with them. We discussed all of that. She told 00:46:02.780 --> 00:46:04.559 me her symptoms, which are again, very similar, 00:46:04.659 --> 00:46:06.519 right? So fatigue, I don't feel like getting 00:46:06.519 --> 00:46:08.500 up. I have two kids, you know, but the entire 00:46:08.500 --> 00:46:10.820 day, you know, I'm groggy and I'm sleepy. I need 00:46:10.820 --> 00:46:12.780 to take a nap, you know, every afternoon to feel 00:46:12.780 --> 00:46:15.659 a little alert and things like that. And so we 00:46:15.659 --> 00:46:17.539 went through all of that. And then I was like, 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:18.980 okay, you know, besides all of this, tell me 00:46:18.980 --> 00:46:20.460 something else that you've been experiencing. 00:46:20.639 --> 00:46:22.400 And so she's like, you know, since the time I 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.920 was in my... teenagers we I experienced a lot 00:46:24.920 --> 00:46:27.179 of acne and I'd been given a lot of you know 00:46:27.179 --> 00:46:29.840 antibiotics and the creams and the hormones for 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:33.300 all of that and It immediately clicked me at 00:46:33.300 --> 00:46:35.199 that point of time that this lady is experiencing 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.719 most of this because her gut is imbalanced for 00:46:37.719 --> 00:46:40.679 the last couple of decades. So all of these medications 00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:42.820 that you take for simple things like acne on 00:46:42.820 --> 00:46:45.960 your skin go on to disrupt your gut. The gut 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:47.760 then again goes on to disrupt your hormones. 00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.079 So it's like a whole cascade of events, you know, 00:46:50.119 --> 00:46:51.559 that, you know, it's one after the other after 00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:53.559 the other. And then again, I spoke about her 00:46:53.559 --> 00:46:55.340 emotions and it was that same, you know, story 00:46:55.340 --> 00:46:57.019 of a woman who's never kind of, you know, done 00:46:57.019 --> 00:46:59.099 anything for herself, given her entire life to 00:46:59.099 --> 00:47:01.199 her family. And you see that more often than 00:47:01.199 --> 00:47:03.079 not. even in this day and age, right? Absolutely, 00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:05.780 yes. Yeah, and so, I mean, we spoke about all 00:47:05.780 --> 00:47:07.559 of that. And then we were like, okay, you know 00:47:07.559 --> 00:47:09.179 what, let's make a plan. Let's start off with 00:47:09.179 --> 00:47:11.519 these remedies, you know, these protocols. So 00:47:11.519 --> 00:47:14.019 I sometimes give multiple remedies to work on 00:47:14.019 --> 00:47:15.880 different aspects of their lives. So I do land 00:47:15.880 --> 00:47:17.800 up giving progesterone as a homeopathic remedy, 00:47:18.000 --> 00:47:20.440 which is very different from taking progesterone 00:47:20.440 --> 00:47:22.980 as a conventional. When you say is progesterone 00:47:22.980 --> 00:47:25.179 as a homeopathic remedy, is that something in 00:47:25.179 --> 00:47:27.800 nature that helps to increase naturally or is 00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:30.639 it something else? It's actually made from progesterone. 00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.900 but it's not got progesterone so none of our 00:47:32.900 --> 00:47:35.699 remedies ever have the actual particle of the 00:47:35.699 --> 00:47:38.460 substance in it we try to extract the energy 00:47:38.460 --> 00:47:41.119 from that substance in the process of making 00:47:41.119 --> 00:47:43.639 the does it come from humans or animals or it 00:47:43.639 --> 00:47:45.980 comes it comes from humans it comes from humans 00:47:45.980 --> 00:47:48.880 so it works it would work in the same way that 00:47:48.880 --> 00:47:51.179 you would expect a conventional progesterone 00:47:51.179 --> 00:47:52.760 to work of course not with the same intensity 00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:54.139 so it's not like i'm going to give it to you 00:47:54.139 --> 00:47:56.019 and you know your menses are going to get better 00:47:56.019 --> 00:47:58.480 in the next month or two but at the same time 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:01.449 it slowly stimulates the body to produce the 00:48:01.449 --> 00:48:03.389 progesterone okay so it's not like an exogenous 00:48:03.389 --> 00:48:07.570 it's like it's an antagonist in a sense yes so 00:48:07.570 --> 00:48:09.570 it's actually helping the body balance things 00:48:09.570 --> 00:48:11.829 out with that and so we i try to give that as 00:48:11.829 --> 00:48:13.849 remedy i gave her sepia so sepia is a remedy 00:48:13.849 --> 00:48:16.809 we make from cuttlefish and it's excellent for 00:48:16.809 --> 00:48:18.829 you know women around this age who have absolutely 00:48:18.829 --> 00:48:20.710 so we also call it the washer woman's remedy 00:48:20.710 --> 00:48:22.449 where you know it's like this woman who's just 00:48:22.449 --> 00:48:24.429 completely her garden you know it's completely 00:48:24.429 --> 00:48:27.030 lost you know a lot of her will she's become 00:48:27.030 --> 00:48:29.170 indifferent to her situation she's become indifferent 00:48:29.170 --> 00:48:31.829 to her surroundings a lot of the hormonal imbalance 00:48:31.829 --> 00:48:34.829 completely lost that drive and yes lost that 00:48:34.829 --> 00:48:37.070 joy but she used to be a very you know she used 00:48:37.070 --> 00:48:38.690 to be one of those women who used to be great 00:48:38.690 --> 00:48:40.909 at tennis and badminton and you know all of those 00:48:40.909 --> 00:48:43.050 things early on in life and you know very energetic 00:48:43.050 --> 00:48:46.170 and very physically you know kind of had movement 00:48:46.170 --> 00:48:48.510 as a huge part of her life but now suddenly she's 00:48:48.510 --> 00:48:50.829 lost you know the energy to do all of that and 00:48:50.829 --> 00:48:53.090 so sepia becomes a great remedy for patients 00:48:53.090 --> 00:48:55.309 like that and so i started on sepia we did you 00:48:55.309 --> 00:48:57.610 know the homeopathic version of the progesterone 00:48:57.610 --> 00:49:00.039 and Within two months, she was like, okay, my 00:49:00.039 --> 00:49:02.000 clots have gone. My menses are so much better. 00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:04.699 We worked on her gut. So again, colostrum becomes 00:49:04.699 --> 00:49:06.860 a very good remedy I use for gut repair as well. 00:49:07.000 --> 00:49:10.280 But we also have certain remedies that we make 00:49:10.280 --> 00:49:13.699 from, which would act as homeopathic probiotics, 00:49:13.699 --> 00:49:16.739 I would say. So we make them from the stool samples 00:49:16.739 --> 00:49:19.159 of healthy people. And so we try to extract the 00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.139 bacteria from that, make certain homeopathic 00:49:21.139 --> 00:49:23.420 remedies from those. I think they're going to 00:49:23.420 --> 00:49:25.380 start doing that in the NHS. Did you see that 00:49:25.380 --> 00:49:26.500 article? Oh, really? No, I did not. Yes, in the 00:49:26.500 --> 00:49:29.329 UK. going to start doing poo pills, you know, 00:49:29.429 --> 00:49:32.650 from healthy people to get their healthy gut 00:49:32.650 --> 00:49:35.369 microbiome. And that's one of the fastest ways 00:49:35.369 --> 00:49:37.489 to, you know, replenish everything that you've 00:49:37.489 --> 00:49:39.150 lost down there. It's just important, right? 00:49:39.449 --> 00:49:42.809 But then they do need to help that gut bacteria 00:49:42.809 --> 00:49:45.269 to thrive, right? So then they need to make changes. 00:49:45.329 --> 00:49:47.730 Yes, the environment in which your gut is needs 00:49:47.730 --> 00:49:49.349 to change, right? Otherwise, it's like putting 00:49:49.349 --> 00:49:51.929 it in and getting it out. It needs to be able 00:49:51.929 --> 00:49:53.949 to stick and it needs to be able to absorb, you 00:49:53.949 --> 00:49:55.889 know, that's what we need to do. So I was going 00:49:55.889 --> 00:49:57.719 to say, did she get back to sports? to know I 00:49:57.719 --> 00:50:00.460 have to know if movement was like reintroduced 00:50:00.460 --> 00:50:02.460 to her life yes so she definitely started her 00:50:02.460 --> 00:50:04.380 exercises again she's like okay I've started 00:50:04.380 --> 00:50:06.099 you know two times a week I've started doing 00:50:06.099 --> 00:50:08.519 my little walks and slow and steady I feel like 00:50:08.519 --> 00:50:10.159 everything has to be slow and steady you know 00:50:10.159 --> 00:50:12.159 it's not about you know one of those results 00:50:12.159 --> 00:50:13.980 that I want where you know in 15 days everything's 00:50:13.980 --> 00:50:16.280 back to square one because then in most cases 00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:18.480 those cases relapse and we don't want the woman 00:50:18.480 --> 00:50:20.739 to go back into that we want a very nice steady 00:50:20.739 --> 00:50:22.980 you know improvement day by day month by month 00:50:22.980 --> 00:50:25.920 cycle by cycle you know going up to a point where 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:27.489 you know she feels like you know she's ready 00:50:27.489 --> 00:50:30.190 for life again okay so from the perspective of 00:50:30.190 --> 00:50:31.949 a nominivore I can see that they would be open 00:50:31.949 --> 00:50:36.489 to any type of strategy remedy what about a vegan 00:50:36.489 --> 00:50:39.409 now how would they feel or have you ever come 00:50:39.409 --> 00:50:42.269 across someone who's like absolutely not we're 00:50:42.269 --> 00:50:44.849 not gonna be using any animal based products 00:50:45.630 --> 00:50:47.309 Or do you just not tell them? I mean, I'm just, 00:50:47.369 --> 00:50:49.590 you know, like wondering what's the process behind 00:50:49.590 --> 00:50:51.989 that? Yeah, so I mean, I feel like luckily I 00:50:51.989 --> 00:50:54.670 haven't faced that. But if I were to, I feel 00:50:54.670 --> 00:50:57.949 like I would probably just want to explain to 00:50:57.949 --> 00:50:59.590 them how the remedies are made. And so while, 00:50:59.610 --> 00:51:01.789 of course, it starts off coming up from an animal, 00:51:01.889 --> 00:51:04.489 what they're taking in is more, as I said, you 00:51:04.489 --> 00:51:07.409 know, the energetic aspect of that element and 00:51:07.409 --> 00:51:10.989 not really an animal product itself. I mean, 00:51:11.010 --> 00:51:13.559 unfortunately. if it's the remedy that fits, 00:51:13.619 --> 00:51:15.679 it's the remedy that fits, right? And I can, 00:51:15.760 --> 00:51:17.400 you know, come up with, you know, another remedy 00:51:17.400 --> 00:51:20.039 that could be a partial fit, but it wouldn't 00:51:20.039 --> 00:51:22.340 do the same job. And so if they were insistent 00:51:22.340 --> 00:51:23.980 on that, I could, of course, you know, kind of 00:51:23.980 --> 00:51:26.039 try to go through my, you know, repertoire again 00:51:26.039 --> 00:51:27.679 and be like, okay, you know, maybe we could make 00:51:27.679 --> 00:51:29.840 this change and that change, but I wouldn't be 00:51:29.840 --> 00:51:31.780 too happy doing it. And I would probably try 00:51:31.780 --> 00:51:34.519 to convince them to, you know, be a little bit 00:51:34.519 --> 00:51:37.099 more on board around that. Well, like you said, 00:51:37.179 --> 00:51:39.300 if there's no actual element of the original 00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:41.670 source item, then I guess it technically... would 00:51:41.670 --> 00:51:45.309 be vegan. I don't know. Vegans, feel free to 00:51:45.309 --> 00:51:47.769 comment on this episode. Let us know what you 00:51:47.769 --> 00:51:50.130 think. Right. It's been absolutely incredible 00:51:50.130 --> 00:51:53.030 having you here and finding out about homeopathy. 00:51:53.150 --> 00:51:54.809 Honestly, I had... Yeah, you can tell neither 00:51:54.809 --> 00:51:57.170 of us have experienced it. So this is so helpful. 00:51:57.309 --> 00:51:58.869 I mean, obviously, like I've seen the lollipops 00:51:58.869 --> 00:52:00.429 and, you know, I've heard about it because my 00:52:00.429 --> 00:52:02.690 mother -in -law is a big fan and I just never 00:52:02.690 --> 00:52:05.650 really understood it. So it's really interesting 00:52:05.650 --> 00:52:08.150 and fascinating to see that, you know, that it's 00:52:08.150 --> 00:52:12.619 not just a symptom. symptom addresser you know 00:52:12.619 --> 00:52:14.840 it looks at everything it looks at the whole 00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:17.099 body which is amazing and obviously something 00:52:17.099 --> 00:52:20.199 that we're well behind because we do believe 00:52:20.199 --> 00:52:23.300 you know that everything is interconnected it's 00:52:23.300 --> 00:52:25.159 not just going to be the one thing but before 00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:27.519 we go we do have one final question we do want 00:52:27.519 --> 00:52:29.420 to ask you and it's the question we ask all of 00:52:29.420 --> 00:52:31.960 our guests and that is what's your 40s formula 00:52:31.960 --> 00:52:33.840 what would you say to women who are in their 00:52:33.840 --> 00:52:39.690 40s who need to find a way to thrive and and 00:52:39.690 --> 00:52:42.809 you know get joy out of their life what mantra 00:52:42.809 --> 00:52:46.130 what slogan what piece of advice would you give 00:52:46.130 --> 00:52:49.659 to them I would probably tell them to start feeling 00:52:49.659 --> 00:52:52.099 again because I feel like a lot of us have lost, 00:52:52.139 --> 00:52:54.380 you know, that ability to really feel every emotion 00:52:54.380 --> 00:52:56.579 that we're going through in life. And most of 00:52:56.579 --> 00:52:58.900 the times we just brush off so much that, you 00:52:58.900 --> 00:53:00.519 know, that's going on in life because there's 00:53:00.519 --> 00:53:02.179 so much of running and running and running that 00:53:02.179 --> 00:53:04.460 we kind of keep doing. So it probably asks them 00:53:04.460 --> 00:53:06.420 to start feeling again, you know, to start feeling 00:53:06.420 --> 00:53:08.880 what, who they are, you know, what they want 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:11.000 to do, how they want to live, you know, and then 00:53:11.000 --> 00:53:13.920 plan their life based on that, you know, make 00:53:13.920 --> 00:53:17.070 decisions for themselves and... just not give 00:53:17.070 --> 00:53:18.909 a fuck about everything else that's been around 00:53:18.909 --> 00:53:21.469 and just feel what they want to do. And, you 00:53:21.469 --> 00:53:23.269 know, kind of, cause I feel like a happy woman 00:53:23.269 --> 00:53:26.309 can make her entire family so happy. A family 00:53:26.309 --> 00:53:28.670 thrives, the society thrives, you know, the community 00:53:28.670 --> 00:53:31.050 thrives, but it's all about feeling. It's all 00:53:31.050 --> 00:53:33.250 about feeling what you really want to do. It's 00:53:33.250 --> 00:53:34.429 that thing, isn't it? You're like, you tell your 00:53:34.429 --> 00:53:36.409 kids, you know, take that emotion, understand 00:53:36.409 --> 00:53:39.969 that emotion, but we don't, we don't do it. We 00:53:39.969 --> 00:53:41.949 don't, we don't, we don't. And I think dealing 00:53:41.949 --> 00:53:44.750 with, with kids, I feel like it's either, either. 00:53:45.420 --> 00:53:47.619 we kind of allow them to go to therapy. I feel 00:53:47.619 --> 00:53:49.500 eventually we need to go to therapy because we've 00:53:49.500 --> 00:53:51.639 suppressed so much of that, trying to be the 00:53:51.639 --> 00:53:54.380 gentle parent and doing all of that. I feel like 00:53:54.380 --> 00:53:56.199 we need to take care of ourselves. Oh, thank 00:53:56.199 --> 00:53:58.980 you, Rikshan. It's been amazing. So eye -opening. 00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:01.119 Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. It's 00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:03.019 been fun to have a conversation. You know, we 00:54:03.019 --> 00:54:05.099 talk a lot on the podcast about showing up for 00:54:05.099 --> 00:54:07.239 ourselves, but it really does start with what 00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.260 we put in our bodies. Exactly. I'm at that stage 00:54:10.260 --> 00:54:12.360 where I want to feel strong, clear -headed, and 00:54:12.360 --> 00:54:14.539 feel like my skin's not giving up on me. Relatable. 00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:17.099 So what is your go -to right now? I've been using 00:54:17.099 --> 00:54:19.320 AVEA Life's Longevity Bundle.
