fantastic today. 16 00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:17,960 So good. 17 00:01:17,960 --> 00:01:18,960 Good. 18 00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:28,000 You know, it was so funny because when when we basically matched, I would say that. 19 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:32,560 And I was, you know, me and producer, Yvonne, we were, you know, doing some research and 20 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,560 everything. 21 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,360 And I started going back to my childhood. 22 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:46,400 And I was raised by mom and a grandmother who was very natural in what they, they took 23 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,400 in. 24 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:53,040 My mother would always have apple cider vinegar that she would drink or she would just eat 25 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,040 onion raw. 26 00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:06,320 And my mom, my grandma also, they would have these big, big, large jugs of aloe vera. 27 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,960 And it wouldn't taste great. 28 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,520 But for some reason, I thought, you know, this is something that would make me strong 29 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:18,920 and healthy and, you know, just supernatural for whatever reason I was thinking that. 30 00:02:18,920 --> 00:02:20,840 And you know, I would drink it. 31 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:27,480 And but, you know, along the line when I got older, I didn't, you know, do as much. 32 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,840 But it really took me back, back down memory lane. 33 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,080 And I really appreciate that. 34 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,080 And because of that, I was like, you know, maybe I need to start, you know, getting back 35 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,920 to that healthy life, like, you know, drinking aloe vera and things like that. 36 00:02:40,920 --> 00:02:46,840 I'll tell you what, growing up, we always had apple cider vinegar mixed with honey 37 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,640 and water in the refrigerator. 38 00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:52,480 I mean, I've been drinking that since I was, you know, can I remember? 39 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,640 Oh, man, oh man, just my whole life. 40 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:56,120 It's really good. 41 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,120 Yeah. 42 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,640 And it was such a fantastic memory that I was having. 43 00:03:01,640 --> 00:03:06,560 So I understand that, you know, you growing up, you mean you had parents and grandparent, 44 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,000 is it grandparents or just parents? 45 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000 My parents. 46 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Your grandparents? 47 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,840 Yeah. 48 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,840 So you started that health thing. 49 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,840 Do you, what was that from? 50 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,280 How did they get that started? 51 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,280 Yeah. 52 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:22,320 So my, my mom and dad opened Sunrise Health Foods in 1961 on the immediate south side of 53 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,320 Chicago. 54 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:27,040 And, you know, anybody that opened a health food store in the sixties, you were either 55 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,240 in it because you were sick or you were a hippie. 56 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,640 There was no other reason you open a health food store in the sixties. 57 00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:37,160 And you know, for better or worse, it was my mom who was sick. 58 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:42,200 So well before I was born, you know, she was a young lady in her twenties and just really 59 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,920 struggling with health as a young lady. 60 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:52,560 And it was, it was a significant journey for her to go from sick to realizing that changing 61 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,600 her diet could actually have an impact on the way that she felt. 62 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,520 You know, you think about the 1950s. 63 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:03,960 So before she opened that health food stores, when her journey was, nobody looked at their 64 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040 diet to change health in the fifties. 65 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,920 So it was quite a journey for her. 66 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:15,040 And when, when she discovered it, and in her mind, it was a discovery that when she changes 67 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:20,520 little things about her diet, that would make a significant change in the way that her body 68 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:21,760 felt. 69 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,480 That was new information for her. 70 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,440 So I grew up with a mom who was really passionate about food and herbs and nutrition because 71 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,520 really it transformed her life. 72 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,920 So I'm really grateful to grow up like that. 73 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Yeah, I can, I can imagine like, especially, well, you know, I was born in the seventies 74 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:44,360 and, you know, that wasn't me from my memory. 75 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,360 That wasn't really a big thing. 76 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,000 Not like it is now. 77 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000 Yeah. 78 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000 You know, yeah. 79 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:51,000 Yeah. 80 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,600 I mean, I grew up in a family that, you know, opposite of the, you know, aloe vera and the, 81 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:04,680 and the tasty apple cider vinegar, they, you know, a lot of fatty foods, you know, 82 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:11,200 and it was not a real known thing in our family. 83 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,720 But there were some things that, you know, that, you know, seeped in. 84 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:22,480 So I remember going to like a health food store, I could really still smell going to 85 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,720 a health food, you know, a health food store. 86 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,400 And I, it was a great smell. 87 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,400 Yeah. 88 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,400 I loved it. 89 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,000 It was all natural and you could just tell when you were. 90 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Yeah. 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,000 Yeah. 92 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Back then, every health food store had a smell. 93 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,600 It was typically the bulk herbs that would just like fill the aroma of the air. 94 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,400 So yeah, that it was, that's great. 95 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:45,560 So you, I mean, being young when you, when you're in your youth, how did that affect 96 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:46,560 you? 97 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,360 I mean, were you automatically into the health foods or was it? 98 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Yeah. 99 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,000 You know, I was very amputated to it, you know, even when I was young, I mean, I remember 100 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,640 being, you know, eight, nine years old and working at the health food store with mom and 101 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:05,440 helping, you know, customers find the apple juice and, you know, a box of cereal or whatever 102 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,800 they were looking for and then, you know, go in and bring them out at the register. 103 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,400 And I just loved, it was kind of attracted to that idea, even as a young boy of helping 104 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:20,560 people find the foods that they wanted and hearing their stories of how when they, you 105 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,880 know, change from this bread to this bread, they're starting to feel better and just simple 106 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:26,840 things like that. 107 00:06:26,840 --> 00:06:34,480 So yeah, I honestly, I've been in it my whole life and it's just been an incredible, like 108 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,480 growing up experience for me and I'm really quite an honor in my mind to have helped, 109 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:45,520 I mean, literally like tens of thousands of people go from unhealthy to healthy. 110 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,920 And that's the thing that's pretty wildest. 111 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:51,960 If you think about all of us, I mean, we're all aspiring to some level of health that's 112 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,960 probably just above where we are, right? 113 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:54,960 Yeah. 114 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,920 And whether you're really sick and just want to simply feel a little better or even whether 115 00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:04,120 you're an athlete and you're like, I just want one step better than I am. 116 00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,120 And so that's kind of the journey that I love to help people take is it's what's that next 117 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,680 step or two of feeling better look like for you and how do we help you achieve that? 118 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,880 No, that's amazing. 119 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,000 I know that you talked about your mom and her struggles. 120 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:26,840 Like what did that and seeing that really drive you to continue to be on the journey 121 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,200 and then to really create red remedies? 122 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600 I know we'll talk about that more later, but yeah. 123 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:34,840 So there were three things that I saw. 124 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,760 This was true in my mom and it was true of every other person that I worked with over 125 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,760 the years. 126 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:47,760 And I tend to like to simplify things because I think on one hand, health is really complicated, 127 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:48,760 right? 128 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,440 And the other hand, health is really complex. 129 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,880 But at the same time, there are some ways to look at this in a little bit of a simpler 130 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:55,880 light. 131 00:07:55,880 --> 00:08:01,240 And so there are three problems that I see that were definitely consistent with my mom 132 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:04,080 and again, like everybody that I work with. 133 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:08,680 And so the problem essentially is the impact of stress on the body is significant. 134 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,800 We can talk about that. 135 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:15,240 I mean, there's nothing in your body that hides from the negative impact of stress. 136 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:16,880 It's pervasive. 137 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:22,000 The second is toxins in our environment, in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the 138 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,280 food we eat, the clothes that are on our body, cleaning supplies. 139 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,200 There's toxins everywhere and it has an impact as well. 140 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:34,480 And then you couple that with the fact that our food is not as nutrient dense as it should 141 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,880 be, certainly not as nutrient dense as it used to be. 142 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:45,000 So if you think about those three things in combination, stress, toxins and lack of nutrients, 143 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,880 that combination, in many cases, it's the cause of disease. 144 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,280 But in every case, at minimum, it amplifies whatever disease it is that you have, whatever 145 00:08:55,280 --> 00:09:00,360 symptom it is that you have, or maybe reframe it, whatever it is that's holding you back 146 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,400 is amplified because of that combination. 147 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:10,120 And so if we can help people deal with those three things, no matter what it is that you're 148 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000 struggling with, we'll get better. 149 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,360 The amplification will come down. 150 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,360 And so that's kind of the starting point that I look at. 151 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,400 And again, no matter what health challenge we want to talk about. 152 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,640 And so working on that stress response and the body's function is the first thing that 153 00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:33,280 I want to do with individuals because I'm going to help everybody 100% of the time. 154 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,120 So it's absolutely the place to start. 155 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Well, when I'm listening to you, I'm looking at my body and what I went through. 156 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:51,600 So there's a couple of people that we can talk about for practical conversation. 157 00:09:51,600 --> 00:10:00,560 For me, growing up, I was an athlete and I had a lot of, I kept, it's pretty healthy 158 00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:01,560 here. 159 00:10:01,560 --> 00:10:12,080 And one of the one things that I dealt with later in life is that, and listeners know 160 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,440 this that I've already mentioned that I lost my kidney. 161 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040 So two of my kidneys, they're atrophied, but I have an extra one. 162 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,040 I had transplant. 163 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:28,560 And not just long, not too long ago and not too long ago, I actually, I was diagnosed 164 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:35,800 with squamous cell carcinoma, but I'm cleared of the tumor and everything like that. 165 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:41,320 And I'll find myself still trying to come back from all of that and still want to live 166 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,640 a healthier lifestyle, but it is still a struggle. 167 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,600 And I don't mean like drinking and things like that. 168 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,600 I'm talking about foods. 169 00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:56,440 What would you say to me or somebody else that's listening that could be in that kind 170 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:03,440 of situation when it comes to the stress that comes along with it, the toxins that we deal 171 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,600 with, cleaning supplies and things of that nature? 172 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:08,600 Yeah. 173 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:15,200 So you definitely understand very well the impact of stress, right? 174 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,480 So because stress isn't just like, oh, emotions and all of that, certainly that's a part of 175 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:26,080 it, but your body is under a unique type of stress because of your kidneys, right? 176 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:34,560 And so your body is going to, I'll say, reprioritize the use of the energy that it has to deal 177 00:11:34,560 --> 00:11:35,560 with that weakness. 178 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:36,560 Okay? 179 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:38,640 Now, we all have a weakness, right? 180 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:45,000 We all do to different levels, but part of my point in saying it that way is some people 181 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,200 have this idea that, oh, my body will just make more energy when I need it. 182 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,360 And that's not the way the body works. 183 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:58,320 Your body has 100% of the energy available to it today, and your body is amazing at prioritizing 184 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480 the use of that energy. 185 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:05,560 And so your body is going to spend a little extra energy dealing with your kidneys. 186 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:06,800 And that's just a fact. 187 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,680 And so what we want to do is we want to make sure that as much as possible, we're going 188 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:17,080 to nourish and support the kidneys and the other systems involved. 189 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,200 And so maybe it'd be helpful if I just talk about three rules real quick. 190 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400 So there's three rules that I believe to be true about the body. 191 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,200 And again, so if the problem is stress, toxins, lack of nutrients, here are the general rules 192 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,000 that I believe to be true. 193 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,960 First of all, we are body, mind, and spirit. 194 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:37,720 And I know you believe this, unless you do a podcast, right? 195 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:44,240 But it's so important to me to understand, first of all, that that is a fact, which means 196 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,320 that I have to pay attention to all three. 197 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:52,760 I cannot just pay attention to my body because a healthy body with a weak mind and a weak 198 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,880 spirit is still unhealthy. 199 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,120 So we are one whole person. 200 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,640 We need to deal with ourselves as such. 201 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,920 The second rule is that our organs and systems work together. 202 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,520 And so for you, the kidneys don't work in isolation. 203 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,120 And you know that, right? 204 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,040 The kidneys are part of the whole system. 205 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,600 And when one part of the system or the family is stressed, the whole family is stressed, 206 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:16,600 right? 207 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:21,680 And then the third rule, and this one I believe is really important, is that you have the 208 00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:23,360 capacity to heal. 209 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:29,000 I've talked to so many people that have been sick for so long that they start to believe 210 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,080 that maybe I'm just always going to be this way. 211 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,360 And I'm not trying to suggest that your kidneys are going to heal. 212 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,520 You have a kidney transplant if I heard you correctly. 213 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,960 So there are certain facts about you, right? 214 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,840 And so I'm not saying we disregard facts. 215 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,320 But our bodies have the capacity to heal. 216 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,840 Every cell in our body has a lifespan, if you think about it, that's much shorter than 217 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,320 our collective lifespan. 218 00:13:55,320 --> 00:14:00,080 The cells are dying off every day, and new cells are being created. 219 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,920 And that fact means that we have the ability with right nutrients, getting rid of the toxins, 220 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:10,760 dealing with stress to produce healthy cells when they're being recreated. 221 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,920 And so we absolutely have the capacity to heal, and it's really important that we believe 222 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,880 that, that we go into it, that mindset that I can get better, I'm going to get better, 223 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,600 and I'm going to take the important steps to get me there. 224 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440 So I'd like to start with that framing. 225 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:32,760 And then the thing that I would do for you and anybody else is I start to work with, 226 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:39,880 what can we do to protect your brain and your body from the negative impact of stressors? 227 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,000 Those things that rob our body of energy. 228 00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:48,960 And so every stressor that we encounter will force our body to spend a little bit of its 229 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,920 available energy that day to deal with the stressor. 230 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:58,600 And so you think about things that maybe are a little bit common sense. 231 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,280 If I have a fever, that is a type of stressor, right? 232 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:07,280 The body temperature is out of balance, the temperature is up, and I'm exhausted. 233 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:12,480 I sleep all day, right, because my body is dealing with that stressor. 234 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,960 So it's kind of a bigger example, but it's a good example because we've all experienced 235 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:19,480 the fatigue with that. 236 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:26,600 And that day, our body doesn't just make more energy, it's prioritizing the use of its energy. 237 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:30,880 But it does that in many, many small ways throughout the day that most of us are not 238 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,400 even aware of. 239 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:40,800 An example might be we walk by somebody that has a perfume on, and it's a chemical perfume, 240 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:42,880 which by the way, most of them are. 241 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,400 And so most perfumes are synthetic. 242 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,400 They're not natural to our body, and it causes a response in the body where your body will 243 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,320 have to deal with that. 244 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,400 And so I don't recommend chemical perfumes. 245 00:15:56,400 --> 00:16:01,520 Use some wonderful essential oils that are natural and smell great. 246 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,880 So little things like that, we can make adjustments. 247 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,440 And what that's going to do is it's just going to say, okay, my body doesn't have to deal 248 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:10,600 with that chemical. 249 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:16,120 Maybe same thing with laundry detergent, shampoo and soap and cleaning supplies. 250 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:19,840 And those are things that we can absolutely all deal with. 251 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,000 But then we can also deal with similar things in the foods that we're eating. 252 00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:31,320 So instead of drinking soda that's full of sugar, let's replace that with some water. 253 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,760 And maybe some listeners are like, oh, no, don't talk to me about my soda. 254 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:35,760 I don't want to do that. 255 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:36,760 Right, that's a pain. 256 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,920 But maybe you can take one little step. 257 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:43,560 So if you drink three cans of soda a day, drink two. 258 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:47,400 I mean, just do something to kind of bring it back a little bit. 259 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,440 And maybe the first thing you do when you wake up is drink a glass of water to get that 260 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:52,440 water in. 261 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,360 So we've got one healthy thing out of the way, first thing in the morning. 262 00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:02,120 And then we're just paying attention to little steps because I've also find that it could 263 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:07,680 be overwhelming to think, oh my goodness, I got to change all of this stuff? 264 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Well, no, just do one thing today or maybe even just one thing this week that is a step 265 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,160 towards healthy. 266 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:21,160 And when we start to make those little steps, it's the 1% that compounds really. 267 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,840 And we can all handle that little 1%. 268 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,560 And then we can definitely talk about some herbs that are really powerful in their ability 269 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:34,440 to help our body, I'd say modulate stress or essentially protect you from the negative 270 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,680 impact of those stressors. 271 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:44,920 So this is a lot of habitual things that are occurring for people to really live in a more 272 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,160 stressful life. 273 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:53,640 Now, I know you talk about the 1%, like 1% at a time. 274 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,680 But what about the stingy people that are listening and they're like, I can't do this. 275 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,680 You know what I mean? 276 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,480 I hear it sounds great. 277 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,360 I know it's good for me. 278 00:18:03,360 --> 00:18:09,560 But what may be the thing is that they're addicted to a certain thing or a certain way 279 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:15,720 of being that keeps them in that stressful or stressor kind of life. 280 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,760 I'd probably start with my mind because until we change our mind, we're not going to change 281 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,360 our body or habits. 282 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,360 Right. 283 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:28,640 And it might be that thing where you get up and you talk to the mirror every day. 284 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,960 And I mean, it sounds silly, right? 285 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,000 But if I don't love myself, nobody loves me. 286 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,120 So I am healthy and happy. 287 00:18:36,120 --> 00:18:37,440 And maybe that's what we say, right? 288 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,440 I wake up and look at myself, combing what hair I got left here in the morning, I'm 289 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,440 healthy and I'm happy today. 290 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,440 And maybe that's how we start our day. 291 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:51,440 And it's nothing more than just that one time, first thing in the morning, and that's my 1%. 292 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,840 And I'll tell you what, if you wake up and your perspective every day is I'm healthy 293 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,440 and I'm happy, your day will be different. 294 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,760 So that is just as powerful as a food change. 295 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:03,760 I believe it is. 296 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:04,880 You know what I mean? 297 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,200 And you're talking to a guy who does make his living selling healthy foods and vitamins. 298 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:14,280 But I'll tell you what, a positive mindset is just as powerful and maybe even more important 299 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:15,760 to get them started. 300 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:16,760 Yeah. 301 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:24,520 Yeah, I know that for me personally, like starting off with my day being someone that 302 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:32,200 is happy about the day, ready to be productive about the day, but really going back to my 303 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,040 mindset and saying that this is who I am today. 304 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:40,480 I'm healthy, I'm happy, I'm grateful, I'm joyful, I'm fulfilled. 305 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,680 And that really leads me down a different path because sometimes I'll look in the freezer 306 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,040 and I'm like, oh, maybe I want to grab that pack of bacon. 307 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:55,160 I'll leave that for next time and I'll get some oatmeal or something. 308 00:19:55,160 --> 00:20:02,200 And it really, it definitely changes my attitude about how I approach things as well. 309 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:09,120 So I know that we talked about the stress toxins and the lack of nutrients. 310 00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:15,080 How does red remedies really target those issues for people? 311 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,080 Yeah. 312 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:22,840 Yeah, so the way that I start and I find this really helpful is we have three primary formulas 313 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:28,720 that I talk to people about and you don't need all three, you just need one of the three. 314 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:34,640 And these formulas are called true energy, at ease and enjoy. 315 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:41,000 And true energy, at ease and enjoy are targeted for three different stress types. 316 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,560 And so all of us have stress, right? 317 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,320 We all know that. 318 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:49,280 But you and I can go through the same stress experience and we can come out at the end of 319 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,720 that feeling different, right? 320 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,480 Because we're unique individuals. 321 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,160 So I find that there are three basic stress types and if you can determine your stress 322 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,760 type and use the formula that targets that, we're really able to help somebody pretty 323 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,760 significantly. 324 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,920 So let me tell you what those types are and it'll start to make sense. 325 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,920 So the first stress type is an individual whose stress causes fatigue. 326 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,680 And so this person might generally be high energy. 327 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,600 Like they're always going, they got a lot going on, they're busy. 328 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,600 When there's a wall in front of them, they run right through that wall. 329 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:22,600 Nothing stops them. 330 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,920 It doesn't matter if they're sick, doesn't matter what the trouble or the problem is, 331 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:27,600 they're always going. 332 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,520 And that individual at some point is going to crash. 333 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,080 They probably already consume a fair amount of coffee or those energy drinks that a lot 334 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:39,240 of people, yes, I am against energy drinks for everybody listening right now. 335 00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,240 Stop doing those. 336 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,840 There's so much sugar and so much caffeine, but you might be that person doing a lot of 337 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:45,840 those. 338 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,440 And so if that's you, your stress type is, I just get fatigued, I get tired. 339 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,960 I'm always looking for more energy and true energy is going to be your formula. 340 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:01,920 The second stress type is that person whose stress really hits them a little more emotionally. 341 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:08,080 So it's going to be nervousness, anxiousness, worry, fear. 342 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,040 Their brain is always going to be going. 343 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:15,920 So they might feel like they struggle with ADHD and focus and concentration. 344 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,920 Sometimes there's so much going on that they can't even make decisions, right? 345 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,320 Even right now listening, they're not sure if they're really this stress type or a different 346 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,720 stress type because they're processing so much information. 347 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,240 So if that's you at ease is your formula. 348 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,920 And then the third stress type is the person that comes out of that stress and they just 349 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,920 feel low. 350 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,760 Mel and Kali, I don't really want to put a smile on my face. 351 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Kind of depressive. 352 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,760 Lack of motivation might go here. 353 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:45,760 So and this is a real thing, right? 354 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:50,520 If you don't have balance with some of the brain chemicals called neurotransmitters, 355 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,840 it's a real thing to just say, no, I'm going to sit on the couch today. 356 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,000 I don't want to go. 357 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,160 And so we need to have that, I'll say that motivation in the brain to want to get up 358 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,160 and out. 359 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,640 And so if that's you, enjoy is your stress formula. 360 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:13,360 And so what all three of these products have in common are some herbs that are classified 361 00:23:13,360 --> 00:23:14,600 as adaptogens. 362 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,760 And adaptogen is not a specific herb. 363 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:24,680 It's a small class of elite herbs that are incredible at helping our body deal with chronic 364 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,680 stress. 365 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:31,880 And so we have this, this foundation of adaptogen herbs and all three of these formulas. 366 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,000 And then the uniqueness here is that I need to nourish your body a little bit different 367 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:43,040 if you're the fatigue stress type, the anxious nervous stress type or the depressive melancholy 368 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,320 stress type. 369 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,200 So that's really what I'm doing differently is I'm using some herbs that are unique in 370 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:55,240 each one of these to feed and nourish your body, because my belief is that the way that 371 00:23:55,240 --> 00:24:00,320 we're going to help you feel better is to nourish your body and support the systems 372 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,560 working to restore balance. 373 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,640 I do not want to push or stimulate your body. 374 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:06,800 We can do that with herbs. 375 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:11,760 It's also considered natural, but our formulation of philosophy is a little bit unique and that 376 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:15,760 we are nourishing and supporting the organs in the systems. 377 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,440 And the reason we come up with that philosophy is because we know the rules. 378 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,600 And to me, that's why the whole process is so important. 379 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,520 I've got to understand the problem. 380 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,640 I have to understand the rules of how my body functions. 381 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,720 And then I'm going to design a formula that's going to help do exactly that. 382 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:36,800 And so that's what's a bit unique about us at Red Remedies is I don't sell single herbs 383 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,720 or single ingredients. 384 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:44,680 Everything that we do is an expertly crafted natural supplement to help you feel better. 385 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,800 I've got a master herbalist on my team. 386 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,600 She's worked with me since I've started the company and a whole host of other professionals, 387 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,440 depending on the specific category that we're studying at that time to design a formula 388 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,760 that's going to get the results that we're after. 389 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,960 But I start everybody with the stress type. 390 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,440 Everybody gets true energy, adies are in joy. 391 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,440 That's the foundation. 392 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:10,200 We can get some early wins and then start to say, okay, what else might you need to work 393 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,200 on? 394 00:25:11,200 -->

--> 00:26:36,880 All right, we're doing the spot. 415 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:38,280 Let's get back to the podcast. 416 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:45,160 Do you have the opposite of those people that show up that say, I don't get stressed? 417 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:52,000 I used to, but it seems like our great year of 2020 has solved that problem. 418 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,120 Nobody's been working with me today. 419 00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:58,720 But yeah, there were a lot of folks, I'll say, I've been talking about this topic for 420 00:26:58,720 --> 00:26:59,720 20 years. 421 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,200 So 10 years ago, yeah, I'd get a few people like, I don't experience stress, and then 422 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,720 it's been half an hour trying to explain it to them because we live in a world that is 423 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,720 full of stress. 424 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:10,720 Right? 425 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,520 And again, I'm not just talking about watching the news. 426 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,240 That certainly is stressful. 427 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,600 But I'm talking about the toxins is stress. 428 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:25,880 Any little change in our body, our body wants to be in balance for homeostasis, but it doesn't 429 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:26,880 stay there. 430 00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:27,880 Right? 431 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,960 That's, you know, our blood pressure goes up, our blood pressure goes down and homeostasis 432 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,440 is like in the middle, right? 433 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:37,840 Our blood sugar goes up and our blood sugar goes down, our hormones go up, our hormones 434 00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:38,840 go down. 435 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:44,960 So balance is a moment in time in what we're trying to do throughout the course of the 436 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:49,000 day is just to stay as close to that as we can. 437 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,240 But our body is created to go above and below balance, right? 438 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:58,840 And so that's what we're working to do is to take as much of the swings out as we can. 439 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:04,480 And by doing that, we essentially preserve the energy now that your body has available. 440 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,760 It doesn't have to deal with as many of those stressors. 441 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,920 And then what that causes, it just causes me to feel good. 442 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:15,560 I have tons of energy physically and mentally because I have available energy within the 443 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:21,000 body for the body to do what it was created to do in the first place. 444 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,400 And these are basically products that are uniquely made for certain individuals as they 445 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:30,120 come in to show you exactly what's going on with their bodies or talk to you about it. 446 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,120 Yep. 447 00:28:31,120 --> 00:28:32,120 Yeah. 448 00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:34,520 So, and again, I start everybody with that stress type. 449 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,800 And you don't have to spend a half an hour to determine what your stress type is. 450 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,600 I literally take like 15 seconds, 30 seconds. 451 00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:48,520 And I also recognize that we can all go through each stress type over the course of a day, 452 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:49,520 right? 453 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,880 Or maybe even an hour, we can experience all of those emotions. 454 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,840 But if you spend a moment to think about it, you'll realize that one of those three does 455 00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,600 tend to be dominant. 456 00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,360 That's like the place where you just tend to land. 457 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:07,400 And when you find that right spot, again, true energy for fatigue, at ease for the kind 458 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:12,720 of the anxious, nervous and enjoy for that depressive melancholy, you make that your 459 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,440 everyday formula. 460 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,280 That is one of the most important things that you can do. 461 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,840 I think managing that stress response, I will tell you, it is far more important than a 462 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:29,280 multivitamin and essential fad, probiotic, and people are using lots of those. 463 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:34,680 Because if we modulate that stress response, your digestion will get better. 464 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,720 Your pain levels will improve. 465 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:43,400 Your hormones will come back into balance because stress impacts all of those things. 466 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,320 Digestant is maybe one of the biggest ones. 467 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,760 I have lots of people that come and talk to me about digestive issues. 468 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:54,160 And the reason is, stress has a direct impact on digestion. 469 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:58,760 So if we work on that stress response, the digestive system just starts to function better 470 00:29:58,760 --> 00:29:59,760 again. 471 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:05,720 Now, we're talking about these different stressors and the different issues that come at us that 472 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:10,720 sometimes we don't recognize what those things are. 473 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:16,920 And sometimes we just go through life and there may be, I don't know, a bump in the 474 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:21,320 road or maybe a wall that we hit and it's like, what's happening? 475 00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,480 What are some of the early signs that people can really start to look at where they're 476 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,200 now saying, something's going on with my body. 477 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,600 I need to really take care of me. 478 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:38,440 Because there are stories where it takes a while for people to really get in tune with 479 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:43,600 themselves and then it's too late or it could be almost close too late. 480 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,800 What are the early signs that people can really look at so they can start to take care of 481 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,960 themselves better in that sense? 482 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,760 That's a great question. 483 00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:59,720 And I would say when it comes to dealing with that stress response, the issues can be so 484 00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:01,800 far and wide. 485 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,520 And that's why I like to start there. 486 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:08,960 And so maybe I'll just give a couple of examples that might be helpful for individuals. 487 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:17,440 So if I start by talking about digestion again real quick, is when you live in chronic stress, 488 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:23,280 your digestive system naturally by design reduces the amount of enzymes that are produced 489 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,800 in the stomach. 490 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:31,080 So part of the reason that so many people are struggling with heartburn, acid reflux, 491 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:37,800 GERD, gas bloating, like indigestion is because they're under stress every day. 492 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:44,080 And again, our body's natural, it was designed under chronic stress that our enzymes would 493 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,320 be reduced. 494 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:50,160 So if we work on that stress response, all of a sudden my stomach starts producing the 495 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:54,920 enzymes that are necessary to digest food the way it was supposed to. 496 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,640 So I don't even need to do anything quote unquote with digestion. 497 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,480 I just work on the stress response first. 498 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,880 And so again, for a lot of your listeners that might already be taking a supplement 499 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:12,240 or some OTC or something for digestive issues, make sure that you're working on stress because 500 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:18,800 that probably is either it either is the core issue or it is a strong contributor to the 501 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:20,520 problem that you're dealing with. 502 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,080 And so it'll start to get better. 503 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,600 Blood sugar the same way. 504 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:30,920 Blood sugar under stress, we are not going to process carbohydrates the same way as if 505 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,080 we weren't stressed. 506 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:39,680 And so a simple way to work on that is to make sure that we're not busy going 100 miles 507 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:47,440 an hour while we're eating, breathing a minute and take a moment while we eat. 508 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,440 Cardiovascular issues are a big one. 509 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:53,360 If you study traditional Chinese medicine, they'll tell you that stresses the cause of 510 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,800 all cardiovascular disease. 511 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,880 It doesn't matter what you're talking about. 512 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,760 And we know that stress impacts blood pressure. 513 00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:02,480 We can all feel blood pressure go out. 514 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:09,000 Or individuals with cholesterol issues, I mean stress, when your body overproduces cortisol, 515 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:13,600 which is one of the hormones produced because of stress, your body will actually produce 516 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:18,840 more cholesterol to counteract the cortisol. 517 00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:24,320 So if we don't deal with that stress response, our body becomes even more of a cholesterol 518 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,080 producing factory. 519 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,520 So that's just some of the things to understand. 520 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:34,920 So if you take a natural supplement or a med to lower your cholesterol and you don't deal 521 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,840 with stress, your body is like, oh, no, no, I needed that cholesterol. 522 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,160 I need to now produce more and more and more. 523 00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:50,000 Because the cholesterol was there to help your body deal with the excess cortisol. 524 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,680 So and I can just keep going. 525 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,120 We can talk about hormones. 526 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,520 We can talk about simple things like pain. 527 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:58,520 Pain. 528 00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:02,640 Yes, pain is a response to physical damage to some degree. 529 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,040 Maybe you've got a knee or a joint or a hip or an elbow or something bad. 530 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,560 But pain is an emotional response. 531 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:15,640 So the pain you experience is going to run through emotions before it decides how bad 532 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:16,920 it hurts. 533 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:21,560 So if we deal with that stress response, the pain levels actually will start to come down. 534 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,680 I'm not saying pain will go away. 535 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:24,680 That in no way. 536 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:25,680 Right. 537 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,680 So if you have a pain that hurts your knee, like your pain is not going away, but you 538 00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:34,680 might experience that pain as a seven or eight when in reality it might be a three or four. 539 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:40,320 So the pain that we're talking about is like, okay, so I hurt my knee. 540 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:41,320 Yeah. 541 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:47,000 And it may be a pain, but because of the emotional response, we'll elevate the number, so to 542 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,000 speak. 543 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000 100%. 544 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000 Okay. 545 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:51,000 Yeah. 546 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,400 And so a way that we all have experienced that is you go to the dentist and you could 547 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,960 feel the pain when you're in the parking lot, right? 548 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,280 You're like, you know it's painful. 549 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:03,320 And so, you know, it's a little bit of an exaggeration, right? 550 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:07,520 But we experience pain emotionally. 551 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:12,240 And so, you know, the other way that we can talk about that is we know that after a longer 552 00:35:12,240 --> 00:35:16,320 day when our body is tired and fatigued, pain levels go up. 553 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:22,360 So if we can build strength in my body, my body has a much better capacity to handle 554 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,360 pain. 555 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,120 And so that's essentially one of the ways that I look at that is we just want to support 556 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:34,280 that body that is under more stress because maybe you do have a bad knee or a bad hip, 557 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:35,280 right? 558 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:42,240 So again, we can go, I mean, any topic you want to stress is involved in that issue. 559 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:46,920 Certainly it's involved in the way my brain, you know, thinks and focuses and has concentration 560 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:51,280 by just the way my brain functions in general. 561 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:57,760 Stress has an impact on, you know, allergies and, you know, respiratory function for sure. 562 00:35:57,760 --> 00:35:58,760 Yeah. 563 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:04,120 So, I mean, when we help an individual deal with that stress response, we're literally 564 00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:09,280 helping you deal with whatever issue it is that you have to help that thing get a little 565 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,280 bit better. 566 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:11,280 Okay. 567 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:12,280 I understand that. 568 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,280 Yep. 569 00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:18,040 And I know you had mentioned something about the adaptogens. 570 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,040 Yep. 571 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:24,400 If I say that right, adaptogens and their ability to help the body manage stress. 572 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:26,480 How do you incorporate those with the formulas? 573 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,200 I know we talked a little bit about it, but can you just talk about that more of the resolve 574 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,320 of the dealing with stress? 575 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,320 Yeah. 576 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:39,920 So while every adaptogen will help your body deal with chronic stress, each adaptogen has 577 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,840 something that is particularly good at, you know, kind of an expertise. 578 00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:50,680 And so in true energy, I use two adaptogens in that formula, and those are rhodiola and 579 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,680 Asian ginseng, also known as panix ginseng. 580 00:36:54,680 --> 00:37:01,080 But if I look at Asian ginseng and rhodiola, those adaptogens are incredibly good at helping 581 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:06,360 produce energy, strength, stamina, focus and clarity. 582 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:11,320 In incredible historical use, I mean, those herbs have been used for thousands of years, 583 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:17,360 but there are also hundreds and hundreds of studies on Asian ginseng and rhodiola showing 584 00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,480 their ability to help with all kinds of these different health issues that we've talked 585 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:26,760 about producing energy, you know, strength, stamina, focus, clarity. 586 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:33,240 So that's the foundation that adaptogens that I use in true energy. 587 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:36,720 And then in at ease, I use one adaptogen. 588 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:39,600 I'm using one called Shizandra. 589 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:45,600 Shizandra's expertise is emotional stress, or maybe you'd say distress, right? 590 00:37:45,600 --> 00:37:51,080 It's the perfect adaptogen for that individual who is really struggling, you know, with, 591 00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:56,000 you know, nervousness, worry, fear, kind of anxiousness and that type of feeling. 592 00:37:56,000 --> 00:38:00,280 So Shizandra is the adaptogen in at ease. 593 00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:04,120 And then in joy, I use a combination of two adaptogens. 594 00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,920 I use Shizandra again, because that's the same stuff that we're dealing with when we 595 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,960 feel, you know, depressive melancholy type feelings. 596 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:19,760 But what we add to Shizandra in our enjoy formula is another adaptogen called Holy Basil. 597 00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:27,320 Holy Basil is a wonderful adaptogen to build emotional strength, to lift up the spirit. 598 00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,000 I say, you know, Holy Basil is like that best friend that comes over. 599 00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,800 When you don't want to go out today, I just don't feel like it. 600 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,440 I don't want to go, you know, and they come over and just get you up off the couch to 601 00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,320 make you feel a little better about the day. 602 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:44,120 Holy Basil kind of has that ability, you know, it's just a wonderful herb. 603 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:50,120 And so we use that with Shizandra in our enjoy formula. 604 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,600 Is it becoming more popular to use the adaptogens? 605 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,600 And is it really helping people? 606 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:03,960 So I ask this because I have a producer for the show, the podcast. 607 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:06,120 We had a meeting yesterday. 608 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,320 She didn't sleep. 609 00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,640 We had a meeting this morning. 610 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,200 And I was like, Hey, are you doing, are you okay? 611 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,520 I was just like, Oh my God, I didn't sleep. 612 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:18,120 I'm like, you know what, I'm gonna ask Dan about that. 613 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:19,600 Yeah, absolutely. 614 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,600 Yeah. 615 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:27,120 And so first of all, when we work on that stress response, so all three of these formulas, 616 00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:33,760 well, I certainly don't call them sleep formulas, but when you have a better, more balanced day, 617 00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,640 you're going to have a more restful night. 618 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:42,400 And so I do also have a sleep formula that's called at ease PM. 619 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:49,560 So similar name to at ease that the daytime version, but especially with that stress type, 620 00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:53,560 that individual almost always struggles with sleep as well. 621 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,680 And so we have a formula called at ease PM. 622 00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:01,920 And it is, it can be taken by itself for individuals that only struggle with sleep. 623 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,160 So I would argue that if you feel like you only struggle with sleep, it's because you're 624 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,840 not paying attention during the day. 625 00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:11,960 You also are, you know, you also do have some stress issues during the day. 626 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:19,280 You're just not going to do it until nighttime, you know, so no matter what your stress type 627 00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:25,320 is, in a lot of cases, if you add at ease PM on top of your daytime formula, so you 628 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:30,880 add it to true energy at ease or enjoy, it's just a one capsule product, half hour to an 629 00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:34,080 hour before bed is when you would use at ease PM. 630 00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,720 And what that does is it quiets the mind and the body. 631 00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:41,680 Again, if you remember the rules, we are body, mind, spirit, right? 632 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,960 And so we need something that's going to quiet your brain and your body, help you get in 633 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,880 that deep sleep and stay there through the night. 634 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:51,120 So you won't wake up feeling, you know, groggy. 635 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,880 A lot of people have looked at melatonin, which is, you know, you can find in a health 636 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,320 food store or drugstore for that matter. 637 00:40:58,320 --> 00:41:00,840 And melatonin does help you sleep. 638 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:04,760 It's a hormone that your body produces when the lights go out and it kind of sets your 639 00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:06,320 body's clock. 640 00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:12,320 I do not personally like the use of melatonin because it is in fact a hormone. 641 00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:18,120 My approach is to give you the building blocks so your body can produce what it needs to 642 00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,120 on its own. 643 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,560 And so there's an amino acid called 5HTP. 644 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,880 That is the direct precursor to serotonin. 645 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:32,800 Serotonin is my healthy, happy, you know, brain chemical, if you will, or neurotransmitter. 646 00:41:32,800 --> 00:41:36,080 Serotonin is the direct precursor to melatonin. 647 00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:41,400 And so individuals, especially that struggle with anxiousness and depressiveness, both of 648 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:46,120 them are low in serotonin, which is part of the reason they also struggle with sleep. 649 00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,480 Because if you're low in serotonin, you will be low in melatonin. 650 00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:55,800 So by giving 5HTP, we help you produce the melatonin or serotonin that your brain needs. 651 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:59,960 And then you can also produce the melatonin that you need at night time in the right amount 652 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:01,080 that you need. 653 00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:05,720 So again, I like giving your body the building blocks to do what I believe it was created 654 00:42:05,720 --> 00:42:09,240 to do in the first place rather than doing it for you. 655 00:42:09,240 --> 00:42:10,240 Okay? 656 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:13,840 Creating that balance is what I'm hearing is like really creating the balance between 657 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,840 day and night. 658 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:20,840 And I know that I've taken, yeah, and I know that I've taken melatonin myself and I did 659 00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,840 not like it. 660 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,680 I bought two bottles as a matter of fact. 661 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:29,200 And I think I still have almost two bottles still. 662 00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,800 One of my drawers. 663 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:36,040 So the thing that I was going to ask you about is that does it make you groggy when you wake 664 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:37,040 up? 665 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:42,880 Because I know when people take sleep medicine, whether it be a chemical or some kind of melatonin 666 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:49,360 or whatever, for me, I know when I wake up, I'm like, I just don't want to move. 667 00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:55,320 That's counterintuitive to the way I want to have my life function. 668 00:42:55,320 --> 00:42:56,320 That's correct. 669 00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,560 And melatonin can do that. 670 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,520 And so that's part of the reason that I don't like it. 671 00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,600 I don't want that effect. 672 00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:08,400 But more importantly, if I give you melatonin, your body doesn't need to produce it. 673 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,480 And it is in fact a hormone. 674 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:16,480 If I don't know where your level of melatonin is right now, personally, I don't want to 675 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,480 give you more. 676 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,960 I mean, I don't want to know where your level is if I'm dealing with the hormone, where 677 00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:28,360 I know that I can very, very safely give you 5-HDP and your body will produce serotonin 678 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:29,840 and then produce melatonin. 679 00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:34,840 And if you have enough serotonin, that 5-HDP isn't going to like push and push and push. 680 00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:35,840 Okay? 681 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:37,200 It's a building block. 682 00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:41,240 Your body's going to use that amino acid all kinds of other ways as well. 683 00:43:41,240 --> 00:43:46,400 And so it's, again, it's giving your body the nutrients it needs to do what it was created 684 00:43:46,400 --> 00:43:47,560 to do. 685 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,760 And that's our formulation philosophy at Red Remedies. 686 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:56,720 And again, it's part of what makes us really unique is when we put these products together. 687 00:43:56,720 --> 00:43:58,760 I've been doing this my whole life. 688 00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:02,880 I could formulate something five minutes on a napkin, but we'll literally spend a year, 689 00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,960 year and a half kind of really diving deep on the issue to make sure that we are fully 690 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,200 understanding what exactly is happening in the body, where do I need to help it? 691 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:12,720 Where do I need to support it? 692 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:17,360 How do I put something together that's going to help you get better rather than create 693 00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,800 dependence on something that I created? 694 00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:20,800 Nice. 695 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:25,400 You know, that's, well, first of all, I think that she'll be happy to hear this when we 696 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,360 go back to, you know, look at everything and editing. 697 00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:34,040 But I think she'll be happy to, you know, hear that there's some kind of resolution 698 00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,920 for her so that she can sleep at night. 699 00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:42,200 And I know that we're talking about like consumer consumption, right? 700 00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:48,800 And I know a lot of people they deal with, they want the quick fix, you know, how do 701 00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:54,360 you address the consumer expectation around, you know, having something around like the 702 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,960 quick fix of, you know, taking care of their health or taking care of their, you know, 703 00:44:58,960 --> 00:45:01,000 minds, bodies and spirits? 704 00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,080 Yeah. 705 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,320 You know, we all want stuff fast. 706 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,320 I mean, who doesn't? 707 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,320 I mean, I, I do too. 708 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:11,080 If I don't feel good, I want to feel better today and right now. 709 00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:18,000 But the thing that's really impactful is when you design an herbal formula the way we do 710 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:22,320 our products work, I still feel like shockingly fast. 711 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:28,680 It's amazing how quickly the body responds when it gets what it needs. 712 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:34,040 And so again, it's the, the reason we put formulas together, the way that we do is to 713 00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,760 energy, addies and enjoy work quickly. 714 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,680 Probably the slowest one there would be enjoy. 715 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:44,080 And that's simply because that person that's low or has that depressive feeling, it does 716 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:48,000 take time to kind of build that up in the body and kind of bring you up out of where 717 00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,000 you're at. 718 00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,200 And so that individual, I say, you're going to experience a nice steady progress week 719 00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:59,840 by week, but that's going to take a little bit to get you to, you know, I'll say balance, 720 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,560 you know, when it comes to your emotions and brain function. 721 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:04,560 True energy. 722 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:05,560 Wow. 723 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:09,400 I mean, most people will take that product and today or tomorrow you're feeling that 724 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:15,400 now you're not feeling like shaky jittery, like you just had a big coffee or energy. 725 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:19,720 What your experience is, is you're going to go through the day and you're like, wow, I 726 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:24,800 feel good today, you know, and you're going to get to five o'clock at night and you're 727 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,080 going to look back and like, wow, I didn't crash this afternoon and I still feel pretty 728 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,080 good. 729 00:46:30,080 --> 00:46:35,480 It's five o'clock or seven o'clock, you know, and, and adies also works pretty quickly, 730 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,960 especially for the individual who is really experiencing, you know, kind of that physical 731 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,520 and mental angst. 732 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,240 We can help kind of quiet that feeling pretty quickly in an individual and then the longer 733 00:46:47,240 --> 00:46:50,520 you use those formulas, the more balanced it creates in you. 734 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:54,360 You know, I want every day when you wake up to feel like a good day. 735 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:56,360 That's what we're after with these products. 736 00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:01,640 So it's not just, okay, how do I get through the next five hours or seven hours that I'm 737 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,160 not interested in that. 738 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:08,080 I want every day to wake up being a good day and when it's time to go to sleep at night, 739 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:11,000 I want my brain to quiet down and let me sleep. 740 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:12,400 So yes. 741 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:18,680 Yeah, you know, I, I don't, I used to have a lot of problems going to sleep. 742 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:26,440 I think because the way that I function throughout the day, like when I lay down on mine, it 743 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:31,120 quiets itself, you know, and I'm out, but there's a lot of people that, you know, they 744 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:35,000 don't have that because, you know, the deal with the stressors of life and it still, it 745 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:36,280 goes to bed with them. 746 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:42,960 And I know I remember my mom saying that stress is a silent, silent killer. 747 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:43,960 Right. 748 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:48,720 You know, so it's like, you really want to really take care of what those stresses are 749 00:47:48,720 --> 00:47:49,720 in your life. 750 00:47:49,720 --> 00:47:52,640 So you can live a more balanced and, you know, healthy lifestyle. 751 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:53,640 Right. 752 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,800 Well, and that's the, you know, again, you talk about body, mind, spirit. 753 00:47:57,800 --> 00:48:03,200 If you're feeling that way, you have to take a couple of minutes and sit with it and ask 754 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:05,600 yourself, why am I feeling this way? 755 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,120 You know, we don't, I mean, I've not been great at that. 756 00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:14,420 I've had, that's like been a discipline of mine when I have an emotion to say or something 757 00:48:14,420 --> 00:48:19,200 I don't like or something I'm worried about or something that I'm fearful about. 758 00:48:19,200 --> 00:48:22,040 My natural reaction is just to push through. 759 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,240 That's just how I'm built. 760 00:48:24,240 --> 00:48:25,360 And that's not good. 761 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,560 That's not healthy. 762 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,800 And so if I'm not sleeping well at night or if I've got, you know, whatever issues that 763 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:36,240 somebody might be struggling with, I found for me, it's really, really helpful just to 764 00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:39,680 take a moment and to ask myself questions. 765 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,180 What am I really feeling? 766 00:48:41,180 --> 00:48:44,040 Why am I feeling this way? 767 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:49,080 And to write some of that stuff down, I have found that when I put, you know, pen to paper, 768 00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:54,340 it's amazing the things that I discover about myself that if I didn't take that discipline 769 00:48:54,340 --> 00:48:57,680 to do that, again, I would just go right past it. 770 00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,320 And now that becomes a recurrent thing. 771 00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,320 It's like, all of a sudden I'm not sleeping well for a month because I've never taken 772 00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,760 time to ask myself, why? 773 00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:08,200 Why are you feeling that way? 774 00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,200 You know? 775 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,000 And so, you know, we all deal with stuff. 776 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,320 So what am I dealing with? 777 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,280 Why am I feeling that way? 778 00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,960 And is there anything that I can do to change it? 779 00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:25,040 I mean, sometimes we're in situations that feel unchangeable, but is there somebody that 780 00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:26,480 you can go to and talk it through? 781 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,520 You know, that's the human side of us that I think is so important. 782 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,640 We are built for relationships. 783 00:49:32,640 --> 00:49:37,440 We are not built to deal with every problem on our own in isolation. 784 00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,160 We need friends, right? 785 00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:42,320 So reach out to somebody. 786 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,400 Somebody around you wants to help. 787 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:53,440 Yeah, really look at your life and your situation and just like you said, pause, take a moment, 788 00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:57,600 really reflect on who you are in your life and how your life is going. 789 00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:04,440 And when things show up that are, you know, seemingly taking you out of balance, check 790 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:05,440 that. 791 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:10,440 Check yourself and ask those questions that, you know, Dan just relayed to us. 792 00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:15,800 And, you know, I mean, you're really great in what you're doing in your field. 793 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:23,400 And I love the world of natural medicine and natural herbs and things like that because 794 00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:33,880 I know we get so stuck in the OTC, you know, things and big pharma, dare I say it. 795 00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:39,520 And we think that they have all the answers to the aches and the issues that we deal with 796 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,200 as human beings. 797 00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:47,720 As we leave out, what do you want to say to people that, and I know that you have said 798 00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:51,880 to consult your physician with anything, but what would you say to those people that are 799 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:59,880 really held bent on not wanting to do natural things that can really assist and support 800 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:00,880 their lives? 801 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:06,440 Yeah, well, you know, I've talked to a lot of people that have maybe some level of fear 802 00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:10,880 of herbs because maybe they, you know, listen to the news too much or whatever. 803 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:16,680 But understand that herbs have been used safely for thousands of years. 804 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,360 Herbal medicine is still primary medicine in almost every other country around the world. 805 00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:27,520 It's only here in America that, you know, allopathic or drug medicine, if you will, 806 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:32,080 is primary and herbs are, they barely secondary. 807 00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:36,800 But just understand that herbs have an incredibly high safety profile. 808 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:37,800 They do. 809 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:42,160 Herbs don't hurt people, you know, contrary to what you might hear. 810 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,120 And also just know that we're heavily regulated by the FDA. 811 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:47,760 We are under the FDA's authority. 812 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:52,800 And again, sometimes the news makes it sound like, you know, herbs are the Wild West and 813 00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:54,480 there are no rules or regulations. 814 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:55,480 That's not true. 815 00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:56,480 Yeah, I don't think so. 816 00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:02,720 And then, you know, we also have what we've designed is our purity promise that our master 817 00:52:02,720 --> 00:52:07,520 herbalist has put together because, you know, we do source herbs from all over the world. 818 00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:12,200 We have incredible

00:53:43,360 Yeah. 846 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:49,000 So, well, the first thing that comes to my mind right now is the joy of the Lord is my 847 00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:50,000 strength. 848 00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:52,720 You know, we talked about happy earlier. 849 00:53:52,720 --> 00:53:57,400 Happy is like more of an emotion, but joy is foundational. 850 00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:00,960 And so I think, you know, in this world, you have to anchor yourself somewhere. 851 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:01,960 So ponder that. 852 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:07,480 Ponder where, where are you anchored and where is your source of joy? 853 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:08,480 I love that. 854 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:09,480 I love that. 855 00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:14,600 I love the anchoring, it brings, you know, some emotional stability. 856 00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:15,600 That's right. 857 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:16,600 That's right. 858 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:23,440 Then I appreciate you being here and what you
