all right we're live on video stand by for audio good day and good evening
ladies and gentlemen welcome back to another LIVETHEFUEL Show so today we're
gonna be digging in with a new guest co-host and this is gonna be a healthy
focused podcast episode so real quick before I dive into her bio so you get to
know a little bit more about her a quick reminder we don't do ads and and
annoying commercials on this show so please if you find this content today
valuable please share it please get people to subscribe and please help
other people learn what you're learning today and heck throw a review
in there while you're at it so thank you anyway without further adieu this young
lady has got a heck of a background and I'm gonna go ahead and preface her bio
we're gonna talk about some hormones today that's right we've talked about
this a few times in the show before but I'm excited to see where this is gonna
go so she's a functional medicine provider who helps men and women build
sustainable and optimal health and longevity so that they can focus on what
matters most to them not her you so she has been working as a nurse practitioner
since 2009 and in my book that's basically the same thing as a doctor she
completed her doctorate focusing on estrogen metabolism again hormones from
the University of Iowa in 2011 she also has a master's in metabolic nutritional
medicine from the University of South Florida's Medical School she clearly
likes education and I better skip ahead here because I got something fun to
mention she's completed an advanced fellowship in anti-aging
regenerative and functional medicine in 2013 and she has become or really became
the first BioTe first time I've used that on this show Bio Te ladies and
gentlemen certified provider in Iowa to a minister hormone pellets I don't even
know what hormone pellet is but that happened in 2013 too
so without further ado let's go ahead and bring her on Dr. Stephanie Gray
welcome to the show going on I I usually try to shorten the BIOS as much as I can
but there was a few key things I'm like I got to make sure we understand before
we even dig into this episode that people better keep listening
because you clearly have been around the block educationally yeah no cost a
fortune but I was I was gonna dis assumed that but yeah I figured there's
probably a price tag behind a bunch of that how that translates is really into
helping me assist my patients get to the root cause of their problems so what so
you really got its all going in oh nine right according to your bio and then you
just kept adding in a few more chunks of knowledge in thirteen again and then are
you done for a while I feeling pretty good well I mean me besides all that to
you you also became an author well dig in that on today's episode as well and
you also co-founded a nutraceuticals company with your husband as you just
mentioned that's not too Eric he's not on today but uh and then obviously you
have your own integrative health and hormone clinic we hinted Iowa in
Hiawatha Iowa so you guys are busy what we do I feel very blessed I get to go to
work every day and really help patients achieve optimal health it's very
rewarding and real quick for the for the listeners if you pause this and you
wanted to go and just look up her bio look up stuff I mean it's all gonna be
on the UM of the field com2 but go to IH h clinic dot-com
so integrative health and hormone clinic so IH h clinic calm and we'll do some
screen sharing for the video watchers today as well but i want to get all that
out there as you and i start digging in so cuz that's the beauty of podcasting
people can pause and go dig in and come back so yeah yeah well anyway so what I
got it I got I get the roots I gotta get the roots why I mean I have I've become
more of a health and fitness junkie really in the past 20 years I'm 41 now
in my 20s I didn't really understand it I was just like jumping in and out of
Jim's trying to figure it out years later became a spinning instructor
I mean I was a ski race coach I'm a Cross Fit trainer like I've always had
health and fitness integrated you know your word into my life so it's it's
amplified really in the past five to ten years since the fire fighting so what
got you really niche tin this back before o9 i would say my
childhood so I was born in Nebraska Ashland 11 Iowa Nebraska longest state
to drive across besides Texas ever you guys have beautiful farm country very
flat oh we have something in common I grew up on a farm awesome I was very
lucky that my parents were always taking us to the chiropractor they were
self-employed themselves so we had a high deductible so it was we were always
on the path to remain healthy we didn't want to go to the doctor because it
would cost money great I want you my parents were growing
wheatgrass juice on the kitchen counter they want to hit four users wait what
year was this just growing up this is like the 90s I'm 35 okay you're right
behind me so 80s and 90s okay yeah yeah I remember them driving me hours to see
certain chiropractors who you know hopefully could help us I mentioned
before we started recording I was a gymnast so I had a few injuries so I did
need to you know keep on top of those those things but I think I was just
blessed to be raised in a family that really pursued health we had eight
home-cooked meals we never really ate out so I was raised in that's with that
sort of mentality and then I knew I wanted to I guess be a doctor per se but
don't like the word doctor I decided to go to nursing school and I knew I wanted
to become a nurse practitioner right away because I wanted to have the
ability to prescribe if needed there's a time a place for me let's pause on that
I think a lot of people don't understand the power of a nurse practitioner like I
have so many friends because I live here in Allentown Pennsylvania hour north of
Philly hour and a half west in New York City for your benefit and we have huge
hospitals here if one of my clients is a on college astrays money bore for years
years ago for his cancer vaccine research and everything else so but I
don't go to a MD so I'm with you Cairo I do massage I'm a help I'm a natural path
as far as my lifestyle but so your benefit I don't understand why people
don't understand the power of a nurse practitioner sometimes but I'm really
until I dug into it I didn't know either so I think people you understand why
that is a valuable profession could you help us understand that yeah
yeah so nurse practitioners obviously start as nurses and nurses should have
the framework of treating patients from more holistic perspective so really see
I'm seeing the biopsychosocial cultural spiritual self and working to treat that
and so I think their approach many times they are females there are male nurse
practitioners and many times there are females they are very what do you think
the percentages than that like eighty question I mean I in my class there were
as one male so I think a person great scholarships available hope to enter
that view but generally speaking I think nurses listen to patients they're very
patient you know they're more nurturing whatnot and so I wanted to continue on
what that holistic perspective but still have prescriptive privileges and so I
did go to grad school to become a nurse practitioner and luckily in the state of
Iowa we have total autonomy so I have a independent practice I don't have to
work under a medical doctor or do some Wow nurse do and I don't know like
pencil me I don't know Newark most of the prep there's practitioner I have a
friend she's a nurse practitioner and I believe that she is associated or
connected under an MD in a practice but it's weird i I didn't know that was a
rule yeah so and hopefully legislation will change on a national level we're in
every state nurse practitioners will be able to practice independently partially
I think because I'm in the Midwest and there are a lot of baby boomers here we
need more providers we need what nurse practitioners are often called which is
a mid-level provider they're desperate for help and so I think that's part of
why maybe we have more rights and more autonomy and these states but that's
what has allowed me to really build an integrative or functional medicine
practice because there's no guarantee that I could have found a true medical
doctor who you know would allow me to practice under them this in this so fun
tied a business so would you say that thanks to the state you're in and thanks
to those state level laws it really helped create some of the freedom you
needed to get going as an entrepreneur absolutely okay
that's an interesting clarification I think a lot of people get into health
care quote health care because I've joked around about this many times on
the show how you wanted to find health care these days and and it's I here this
is I here NC there's so much struggle because people like you are passionate
and they want to help people but then many many times you fall especially in
the m.d. space you fall into what I like to call the Henry Ford a little history
there people the Henry Ford of medical care meaning people understand where I'm
going with their I'll see the founder of Ford Motors automobiles you know he he
was the founder with a creator like the first legit like assembly line like
probiotic efficiency so people think there's efficiency there but I'm
actually making fun of it because now doctors are you're a checkbox they they
have per the insurance company's guidelines I can only be with you for so
much time they don't always tell you this but that's why they're in and out
and you're just oh you had these symptoms here this drug oh you have
these symptoms here here's another pharmaceutical band a
drug that's what I like to call them I don't know if you use that term yeah
what do you think about my little pharmaceutical band data is that
inappropriate oh we had a commercial with that analogy so I think I was
definitely in the minority I was a female I was young because I went into
private practice almost straightaway I was a nurse practitioner I have a
doctor but you know I I was practicing as a nurse practitioner and I was trying
to do functional medicine in Iowa which is not a very progressive state
otherwise yeah but the interesting thing is we this niche was needed you know
we're highly in demand and we don't have a ton of competition which is nice for
business also so patients who are really looking for this care will seek us out
well I could tell you growing up on a farm family even though I was born in
New Jersey we had a dairy farm there and then I was not old enough to really
remember the dairy farm per se because we moved and then my father wanted us to
grow up around farming so he bought us he had a small farm here in Pennsylvania
that we moved to and then I was there from like fifth grade until college and
like we rented the fields out another
are you there
all right pardon that whisp lit second I like to be transparent so there was like
all of a sudden massive power surge of power out and we literally split second
we're right back so as I was trying to say yeah grew up on a dairy farm moved
to Pennsylvania we went to grew up on farming we hand that off the fields to
another farmer to take care of and he would just you know give us a load of
hay every year this is all before all the excessive corn and soybean I can get
off on another whole podcast on that I'm sure you could agree with me like we
actually fed cows alfalfa anyway we just want us to grow up around that and but I
saw some of the struggles through my father being like to this day he stole
cattle broker and my younger brother has his own business as a cattle broker we
don't have a farm anymore but they we didn't have traditional medical I hate
to use that word traditional medical care I'd like to hear your clarification
on traditional in a second but we didn't go to them these all time unless
literally he had a cowgirl over and snap his leg years ago when I was a kid so
then he had to go the doctor right and he ignored the doctor and two days later
started going back to work with a cast on his leg because that's my father
that's like because he had to make money you know we had that we had to keep food
on the table and roof over the head and years later they really don't go to them
D Leslie absolutely have to they found a more integrative guys
actually Russian trained Russian educated more integrative medicine where
they live here in central Pennsylvania about an hour from me and again
chiropractic so they say more on the well on this side and I think big of it
cuz I can pay cash out of pocket and they just don't want to deal with the
medical pharmaceutical stuff what do you think of that well those are our best
patients to be honest oh I want to comment on a couple things you're saying
so one what we do is not covered by insurance and so some individuals who
are used to I don't use the word entitlement but you know some patients
who have grown up never having a deductible on their insurance they can
go to the doctor and get antibiotics anytime they want they're not paying
anything you know they don't quite understand the value of paying for
someone's time out-of-pocket versus a lot of self-employed or on
there's farmers when best patience because they do understand that value
but I want to go back to what traditional medical care may be yeah I
had to throw that word in there because I even caught myself I'm like ooh like
how do you define traditional well so I do think we need traditional medical
care and a colleague of mine I didn't create this analogy but I do mention it
in my book discuss is kind of how I guess I'll go into his analogy so dr.
Patrick funds a chiropractor and he created the fireman versus a carpenter
approach so he describes conventional or you could say traditional medicine as
being more the fire department right just like your father if he broke his
leg what not he needed the fire department to put out his fire he needed
to go he didn't need to go see a chiropractor or naturopath he needed to
see a traditional medical doctor who could you know help with that emergency
yeah we could tie a fire years ago 500 years ago there was a great time
magazine cover and it was a picture of fire and it was it was one of the
earlier articles that I remember them finally starting to bring to light the
impact of inflammation on disease and I just want to tie them all together real
quick while you're going because I know you you're with me on this inflammatory
responses in the body is your body trying to tell you something that's not
good you have a literally a fire building within you in a bad way and we
could maybe talk about that next elevation is the root cause of all
disease but going back to that analogy so with that fire department approach
your dad needed to see traditional innocent or that fire department to put
out a fire but the fire department's tools are really drugs in surgery that's
all that's all they have to offer and there's a time in place for drugs and
surgery we need them we have the best emergency medical care if you get hit by
a car here in the United States but we have the best emergency medical care
challenges upon being discharged from traditional medicine you're not always
taught how to prevent future fires right and that's where what we do comes in
we're more as a functional medicine provider a contractor or a carpenter as
I discuss in my book helping patients build a healthier body using functional
medicine principles because we want to get to the root cause we want to
determine if the patient has inflammation and figure out those
triggers and you know put out that fire without hope
we having to use drugs and surgery hmm would this be the book oh yeah I was
wondering what you're doing with the screen huh
welcome to my zoom world yes yes right ladies and gentlemen hearing this we do
a lot of video now on YouTube and I'm screen-sharing her book your longevity
blueprint so are you is this the film on Amazon - oh yeah yeah okay I'm just
happy to sharing it from Google brought it up faster on Barnes and Noble so
shout out to be an end that's a pretty good price - I don't think it can be
okay there we go Hager ladies and gentlemen right now
it's advertised with 1327 so it's 349 pages it's a pretty wait how many words
you know do you remember okay I literally wrote one-third of what you
wrote cuz I'm moving my book into editing now and I was like I kept it
just around 30,000 so you're a doctor so I feel like you need to get into 90,000
worth of content I'm telling about the lifestyle
transformation the lessons learned of serving the public services of
firefighter and you know they be the hotshot mindset that's that's the
purpose behind my book and then I'm gonna be selling it to give it back to
money all I might as I go to Fallen Firefighters so wonderful wonderful I
don't want to leave anything out you know I thought maybe a patient wants to
read about gut health maybe about hormone health but what if there's a
patient with Lyme disease or well you have to admit now that I'm gonna become
I'm coming more of an author you still end up leaving something out I mean it's
the same especially nowadays I mean 90 thousand that's that 300 plus pages like
you go girl but I'm just like man as I continuously
dig into the inflammatory knowledge and I bring on geneticists and other doctors
on the show it's like it's never-ending and you you should you would probably
have no problem coming out with a blueprint - oh it's in the works
that was a little hint I want to see where you go with it
so so you've already begun huh yes this one's more focusing on fertility and
hormones specifically yes I gotta I gotta hook you up with a buddy of mine
dr. Anthony J he wrote the book estro generation oh yeah and he's out in
somewhere I think he's in Minnesota he's doing
research with the Mayo Clinic right now and uh quick segue on him he I had no
idea that he does analysis on 23andme data yeah so I had a 23 me done and he's
like you didn't have to waste the money on the health side of it he's like he
should just gotten the genetic do your genetic history yeah and he's like
paying extra for their health analysis the waste of money he's like just send
me the raw data file out of the website and he did a full supplemental and
chemical analysis on my DNA and then we did a big Facebook live podcast and I
had him go through all of it that's what we do with our patients chapter 3 and my
book is all about genetics so sounds like we do similar yeah you got to be
like you know like a stage together and just geek out so he's actually launching
right now the first ever carnivore study yeah no one's ever had the cojones to go
90 days on 100% red meat in a study he was he's launching it now he's got
people waiting until January first to launch because they want to get through
the holidays I am very curious what happens to hormones and what happens to
nutritional deficiencies on that sort of diet so I wonder what sort of testing
he's incorporating I know for the fact he's definitely doing a telomere test
before and a telomere test after because he specifically wants to see where the
evidence is at on benefit or not benefit and impact on aging your microbiome if
you're on the I have so many questions that's another whole show yeah I figured
you I had to bring that up and see where you were to go with that so because I
again I dug through your site and you have a lot going on Ashley um it's just
more screen sharing here but you guys you have a 10 person practice don't you
um right now yeah we do yeah so here we go Lisa Joanne back on the ihh clinic
comm there's one of their little group photos yeah you guys do a lot and I love
the fact you try and stay a more on the integrative and holistic side because
clearly that's just your brand and that's what you guys stand for yeah
absolutely so here we go hormone imbalances wow you got menopause
I was just telling you before the show I have a friend of mine she started
menopause five years ago so and she gained about probably 30 pounds so I've
been helping her learn I mean again I'm not you but I know the power of removing
sugars and grains from your life cycling in and started reteach her body
the the healthy fats but also she was actually already doing intermittent
fasting and didn't know it so well I mean so here I would appreciate your
explanation on this is what is your professional opinion behind my education
on breakfast defined is break fast can break your fast when you choose so this
morning I woke up didn't eat a thing chug my water made a nice French press
coffee went in to go do a 50-minute or Alex actually was only 40 minute long a
partner workout at the CrossFit gym still hadn't eaten yet came back and
then I moved into a fatty coffee because I had just a black coffee and then I
made a I call a fatty coffee I don't call a bulletproof whatever through some
grass-fed butter in there and I'm drinking that right now so so I figured
you'd appreciate my Breck break fast and it's 1:30 Eastern here so there you go
I'm finally putting some type of food meaning those fats into my body and I've
been fine now granted I've been doing this longer I'm very I'm very more key
I'm not hardcore ketogenic but I'm much more fat adapted than the average person
so and I'm very big and my client I might a client he owns the trademark NS
ng no sugar no grains so he's very I mean he's a big I'm a big fan of that
that following so yes yes yeah but yeah let's go further on this why no sugar
why no grains why hormones either I know I know there's dairy stuff I've read
about it so but dairy specifically does contain
growth hormones I mean and fatten up baby cows right so no no
not what I buy no well you buy the good stuff yeah I just had a quarter of a cow
delivered so many patients read online about the ketogenic diet which I think
it can be very useful for several patients but they immediately start
eating more dairy than they ever had before in the wrong wrong type of berry
oh thank you wrong type of dairy yes I don't I what is your what is your
opinion on I have to throw this in here I have to because you just hit on it
people need to hear this what is your opinion on mammals us still consuming
milk the liquid before I'm not talking about butter I'm not talking about
cheese I'm talking about milk after like the age of four no no aren't we like the
only mammal doing that yeah I've read it I read a book on that too I'm with you
on this because again you're the segue here that I wanted to pause on for the
listeners was different types of dairy how things are sourced how things are
manufactured or processed so yeah absolutely and I'll tell you my part of
my personal fertility journey I am now pregnant as I mentioned before Strauss
Congrats again here oh you're ready to go but I had endometriosis which I am
going to talk more about in my second book and I did utilize some of
conventional medicine but I used a lot of functional medicine to help with
fertility and I detect area I've been gluten free for I don't even know how
many years five years I'm not free of all grains but I am you know 100%
gluten-free and I needed to go dairy-free
and I do believe dairy there's a lot of research supporting dairy feeding
endometriosis which is abnormal growth right if you think of the uterine lining
you don't have a normal girl there but outside the uterine lining either and so
I believe taking I and I took all I mean 100% all very out not that everyone has
to do that but if they're suffering with hormonal concerns with endocrine
disruption then I think taking dairy out can be very beneficial I know I'm a big
supporter and like my friend I was telling about I've been teaching her you
I I do I do a process called nutritional cleansing so you have to be in a fasted
state you're helping your body those organs take that 20
four to forty eight hours off depending on which cycle you're doing I never go
more than 48 hours and and I'm using a program that I've been using since 2010
and you're saying hey great you're not processing fats and proteins and all
this stuff you're giving those organs the day off or two days off and then
you're allowing that body to rest recover heal and then it's focusing just
on attacking your visceral fat releasing what's being stored in those fat cells
back into your system and hopefully your body is is healthier now to cycle that
back out so that's a very short skinny on that's right so do support that but
yeah it's true cuz people don't realize that it's like you're not joked around
about earlier it's like well you go to the gym you go to the gym you go to the
gym fitness wise okay well how are you cycling in your proper rest and recovery
and people don't think about that from a nutritional standpoint and the organs
and digestion and all of that and I'm guessing this is something you heavily
dig into because what you just hinted out we take that out well I learned that
years ago - Mike okay let's remove stuff and then if you start bringing it back
in once you're clean and your body responds in a negative way because
that's the beauty of a healthy body and a healthy mind is it'll talk it starts
talking to you you can do it and it's like wait a minute I for some reason
don't like green peppers they just after my first detox over eight years ago I
went to eat that it my gut was not happy
means yeah it's not a nice shade yes that's easier but many patients don't do
well with and I have patients who come to me who want to lose weight who are
doing CrossFit or who are running marathons or whatnot and they still
can't get rid of certain types of fat on their body so I think for many of these
patients we do need to focus on taking certain food groups out we need to look
at nutritional deficiencies we need to look at their hormones we also need to
look at specifically the cortisol to see if that's all jacked up because many
times my patients are over exercising and overtraining their cortisol is
jacked up all day long and I wonder why they can't sleep at night and not lose
weight I do not have your education but that is something that I have
self-taught myself I've learned from over the years is that people
underestimate the power of a proper rest day or you know interval training right
hey take this this day off and just like especially when you're doing fasting
detoxing and cleansing like I don't I don't workout that day and people like
whoa you need to to keep your metabolism I'm like no it's cool dude like take a
legit rest day go get a massage yes your body your body's need for even mental
physical but also mental downtime that's something that I was you know starting a
business and practicing full-time and going to school full time and I was very
stressed out that's kind of part of my story with writing my booklet I my
cortisol was through the roof high and I ended up in the emergency room with my
heart rate just this is before pregnancy obviously yes so we would you say was
that one of the things that inspired the book oh absolutely
okay your own personal traumatic experience yes and I I share my story
throughout really the front of the back of the book I laced patient testimonials
in there as well but throughout this time my husband who is our office
manager at the clinic said gosh we need to clarify all what we offer at the
practice because we don't just help with hormones or just help with nutritional
deficiencies or food sensitivities so I tried to create a blueprint for my
health that could then translate into helping patients as well so yeah you bet
my state of stress and everything that was causing my symptoms created me or
prompted me to create this blueprint because conventional medicine really had
no back to traditional conventional medicine the fire department they had no
answers for me other than to take a medication to control my heart rate and
that although there's a technical bandaid yes there's a time and place for
that I knew that taking that medication wasn't gonna tell me why right why this
was happening to me I needed to figure that out well so one thing that I've
learned over the years and I didn't really put into words until recently
thanks to other professionals like you about on the show and so I love
podcasting is yes it's I want to I want to bring this knowledge out to the
masses but it's also like I get to learn everything too so I love it and but I
never thought about the terminology of metabolic
we broken right so say people love talk about metabolism you know you've got you
got to eat six times I mean I used to read that magazine horseshit you know
you you got to read that you got to eat six times a day to keep the metabolism
burn and you got to keep that furnace stoked and uh yeah I read those at men's
health magazines how would you like to expand on that
little metabolically broken component I take care of every day I mean especially
in the the aging factor or in the component of obesity right because
there's people who are obese and they've never actually over eaten they've just
eaten a lot of the wrong stuff broke that process hormone early and now
they've got a real actual II a great author is you hear of Jason Fung he's a
doctor he wrote out to bring him up for you he bro a lot of books on obesity and
he wrote a best-selling book on fasting and because he's like guys like part of
the fasting component everything else is like you have to start resetting this
broken process or in your case you could talk to the hormone side of it that's a
broken process yeah absolutely and I think partially which may be your other
friend whose name generation Oh dr. Anthony J or aka dr. J we love spinning
that one so he probably speaks a lot to just the impact of the endocrine
disrupting chemicals in the environment really contributing to endocrine
disruption in her body so hormone challenges which can leave us more
metabolically broken - but I think - Pete primary pieces that patients come
to see me for at least is assessing their thyroid and their hormones
comprehensively because that's part of metabolism or I want to say I think many
patients have had their thyroid checked but not comprehensively they have TSH
checked which is thyroid stimulating hormone and I think it stands for too
slow to help because by the time TSH is high patients have gained weight they're
cold they've lost their hair they're tired they feel lousy and so we do from
a functional medicine standpoint we pride ourselves in the labs that we
can offer patient so we're able to look at the free t4 the free t3 the reverse
t3 of the thyroid antibodies those antibodies are giving us some insight
into if that patient does have an autoimmune disease brewing which we
consider to be a fire that needs to be put out with things like diet changes
going gluten-free and whatnot so I'm not I'm not a dumb medical professional you
are am I wrong in saying that those autoimmune diseases key word disease are
reversible and curable yeah I should be cautious using the word curable just
because I don't want you ever make false claims
how about reversible is that fair is that fair one yeah cuz I know this is
all touchy and I don't want to put you in an awkward position yeah
but because it's the stupid drug world influenced legal BS they just keep
brewing everything you got people like you trying to help people make a
difference and you gotta be careful how you say a word but it's true cuz I say
the same thing about type 2 diabetes yeah I truly believe that is reversible
I've seen it Marie you've helped people do it there's a yeah I'd love to get
Terry on knowledgebase is ridiculous she's someone who reversed her
autoimmune condition she was wheelchair-bound with MS really sent
home to die essentially and she said think so she did her own research you
know being she was conventionally trained but yes she sought out
functional medicine and she's in the best shape of her life she feels amazing
and she shares her condition again yeah so I spent years doing MS 150 rides I'm
a big cyclist so the city to the shore from Philadelphia to Atlantic Ocean and
back and I'd raise money every year for that because I had a cousin with ALS
I was Lou Gehrig's disease for this and it's not MS but it's totally in the same
family yeah and they just didn't have a lot of big ALS cycling events I don't
think to this day I still don't know of one they have an ALS walk and I'm like
I'm sorry I love peddling and so I was like great I will raise money for MS
because I know it's all in the same circle of
research and I'm hoping making the same impacts and then unfortunately ended up
losing my cousin to ALS and he was a football player in high school and then
just Shh what's that disease kicked in just shrunk to half a man
wheelchair-bound yeah he did end up having children before he passed and he
couldn't be the super dad that I think he wanted to be and stories like this
I'm just like this is what just drives me nuts where I have people saying that
what I might be saying is wrong and I'm like I've at least taken the past 20
years to build a knowledge base and study and launch a podcast and bring
people like you on because fine don't take my word for it go get the book from
Terry walls don't watch her on YouTube right go get your book okay start
becoming your own inner physician is another term that I like to use thanks
to another friend of mine who coined that one I can't take credit for that
one I love that one so how do you like to find inner physician well I think - I
mean I was a functional medicine provider but yet it's hard to treat
yourself first hey so even I had to really explore okay what am i doing that
I shouldn't be doing how do I need to change my diet and my stress like my
supplements and whatnot it's got even harder for you because this came up on a
podcast the other day about I say all good coaches should have a coach yeah
because you could be the most adaptive and sensitive person out there but in
the end even even you are not gonna always notice all those little
intricacies and that's the point like if you're a great coach you better have a
coach way above you what should exhaust that person you get a no one same thing
with you guys I mean how did you track down somebody that you actually trust
well luckily because I kind of live in a functional medicine world I have
colleagues you know that I can seek advice from who can like like pee we
went to school with four yes yes other colleagues for my fellowship program
even dr. walls I can ask her questions and whatnot so I think I'm blessed to
have what do they say what's that term I can't think of it now
it takes a tribe to raise a children or what's that what's that I know where
you're going with this one remember it worth walk the village yes yes that was
happening actually literally over the past 48 hours later Jim we were
recording this right before the Christmas holiday and shout out to John
by the way real quick you'll appreciate this I didn't meet this guy until
yesterday but two days ago a mutual friend of mine that we do charity work
with he's like hey man I met this kid doing some construction work in his
house he lives with cerebral palsy he was born with a genetic condition so
obviously this is not an autoimmune disease or anything else my buddy and I
are huge cyclists he's like hey he's like so don't tell my wife but I went
ahead this kid told me he's never been on a bike and his dream is to get a hand
cycle and this kid's got a crazy backstory like he was born in Russia
with the condition and in that country and like other countries they they
basically throw you away you're unwanted that he was deemed retarded and they put
him into this actually a word that they used in the book he has a book about him
and they deemed him unwanted put him into this abusive they call baby baby
schools baby houses baby houses say he was it was like the book the book is
called the boy from baby house 10 it's about his god-awful childhood just
atrocious anyway this woman here in Bethel on
Pennsylvania adopted him to bring him to a better world and he's going to Penn
State University here where I went to school and I yeah so my buddy calls me
up I'm in a hotel in Albany in New York this week traveling on business he's
like hey we need to raise money because I went ahead and bought the hand bike I
already ordered it I was like dude that's $1,100 is like he's like you
can't tell my wife he's like you got to help me figure out how to raise the
money in time and I'm like I got this all right I do a lot of crowdfunding
online I got this I'm a marketing guy so we launched a GoFundMe put it up and
in less than 24 hours we were already 600 of the way money raised and then
yesterday I went in with Starbucks once I got back locally and I met this kid
and we have to hang out and we did a facebook live and just crushed it and
then we're now at like 1,400 dollars so it's just I love to quickly throw that
in because it just fires me up when I say people like you - it's like
don't assume that your condition that you might be born with or that you've
you've attained you've attained due to some possible lifestyle mistakes is
permanent right do something about it and that's the beauty of functional
medicine is the message is there's hope there there are things that you probably
haven't explored that traditional medicine probably hasn't offered you
that could offer you hope you guys have helped my family my parents I guess that
to this day still go to a chiropractor thanks to some of my impact might it's
really good hard to get your parents to listen to you this is why you you send
your parents or your loved ones to professionals like you but I did get my
dad down to one diabetic medication so whether or not he'll give me credit for
that we'll see about that but I got him to
dry me filed one of my protocols and I got him down 35 pounds and my mom down
30 pounds but that was like four or five years ago and I told them like this is a
process you have to build consistency can you talk to consistency please I
don't patience well kind of in a different way than applies to this
there's no pill potion or powder that's gonna replace lifestyle changes no
there's no drug you can take there's no supplement I mean yes we advocate for
supplements we own a cell phone company but generally speaking the consistency
and the lifestyle changes I mean those are foundational you have to do those
you have to incorporate that and you have to have a desire to change to you
know some patients I mean we're we're humans we're creatures of habits and if
you don't desire to change you're never gonna change and so it's really the
mental shift that has to occur for patients you know patients some patients
suffer and some people have a victim mentality you have to choose and decide
I want to get better I want to change my diet I want to find answers and be
consistent like you're saying I told responsibility with that also
I'm loving this because when you have people close to you and you know they
can be doing they can be making better choices it's hard and unfortunately is
taking me years of coaching people that I've worked with to realize that I can't
save everyone and you have to unfortunately just slowly trickle the
knowledge and when they're ready they're ready
yeah and that's hard because I know that they have to be I was like I said I hate
the word diet hate is a strong word and the word died to me is a strong word I'm
an advocate for the lifestyle because I've studied psychology when I did my
marketing and I tell you about time and I want to hear your perspective on this
diet unfortunately due to marketing and magazines and all the commercials has
now deemed the word diet a short term mindset oh I'm gonna go on this diet for
the next month oh my own this diet for the next week or
two so I can't I can't use that word I have to use lifestyle because lifestyle
it I feel symbolizes a more long-term approach of adaptation what do you feel
about that absolutely and that's where kind of back to when I was saying you're
typically your father's demographic would be a great patient fit for us well
one because they see the value financially and what they're paying for
but two we want patients who generally desire to make changes you know come to
see us if someone just I don't know these are we don't even really advertise
but if they just saw our ad and schedule an appointment they probably are gonna
be a great fit for us because I have to board and they're gonna be they're
probably still full of question marks so they're gonna be second-guessing
everything anyway and that's that's a sad part too because it frustrates me
when I see people they wait until the last minute to make a decision and then
they want quick fix right they still want this yeah people listening beside
people in other countries listen this - yes I mean I make fun of my own country
all the time I love the USA but we are a classic example of impatient short
minded we want everything now society and when it comes to your health sorry
guys if you got that far down the negative Pike Road right the reversal
process the rebuilding building I like that so the comparison made me go this
direction for second coming we know how to maintain our homes we don't even
think about it we all know our lawns which who really cares about the grass
it's an aesthetic thing but I mean we're more important but
you stop mowing your lawn for a month it gets more like a wild prairie and and
the species of grass starts changing too
we're mowing our lawn we're keeping hair out of our drains we're changing our
furnace filters we're doing all these things without really even thinking
about it they're just things we do to maintain our home but we don't always
know how to maintain our body or rebuild it right we know okay we should eat
healthy we should exercise we should sleep but really to obtain especially if
you've lost good health there are a lot of steps you need to take to truly
rebuild your body and that's really what I try to outline through the book and
chapter one is chapter one for a reason it's all about gut health it's all about
back to the inflammation you mentioned quenching that fire and for autoimmune
diseases specifically that I mean that's what Terri walls book is all about is
getting the inflammatory foods out of her gut to really reverse her condition
and so patients do have to make back to that commitment
while commitment to get many of the inflammatory foods out of their life
that's one we have to get that buy-in from patients they get the gut biome is
another huge sector I mean I was a book here maybe here the microbiome solution
Robin chicken chicken whatever yeah right that
was my first book I read about anything about gut biology like I knew about gut
biology and I understood microbiome but I don't really dig into it until her
book and I said wow it's a whole different level and if the funny thing
is I live such a clean healthy lifestyle but I still do things I'm still a human
being like I still go have a glass of red wine or not or I'll have a nice
scotch but I don't drink beer anymore I don't like I am aunt I am anti green I
mean yeah last night we were out to dinner and this special was I don't know
swordfish I think I got the sward fish and I never get seafood as often I want
to but like oh this is nice but then like oh it comes with some kind of like
barley or whatever Mike just can you just double veggie me please like so I
had some nice roasted Brussels sprouts and a white asparagus is amazing so I'm
getting hungry but then even then you got to watch out
for the sauces they put on it and what are they adding in for additional
flavors although it's becoming I should say though five years ago is more
difficulty now it's becoming more easier to eat out now a lot of times I'll ask
especially being dairy-free I'll just have server
what sort of oil is what the vegetables be prepared in nor are you gonna put
butter all over my broccoli or is it good what kind of oil and I usually ask
ask them to prepare my food a certain way and normally restaurants are pretty
accommodating they if you're at a legit restaurant yes I was actually traveling
this week I guess I said earlier and I was at a restaurant where the menu said
they put on they're like please challenge us it's set it on the menu
yeah this is so refreshing it's a very like new agey trendy trendy restaurant I
was like wow dude I'll challenge you so because I mean usually I have to I feel
bad and then my fianc don't make fun of me and she's like why do you have to
customize everything that the chef designed it the way for a reason like
but the chef doesn't understand health that's the only arrives me nuts I think
you can cup Claire for that some chefs or some that the cooking world does not
unduly understand microbiome and gut biology and how food food allergies all
right you know what tastes good yeah sugar tastes good too and sugars
addicting so that's why they want you to come back that's why another thing I
learned for my client Vinnie the guy who owns an SMG he said to just put olive
oil on your salad and be done with it stop don't use any doorbal dressings
they all have sugar or some form of sugar in it yep it's not healthy man you
want some you want some liquid crack try Villa Capelli olive oil
it comes from Poya Italy they David actually the distribution centers right
here in Pennsylvania so amazing couple of guys they're from the US but one guys
his name is Paul Capelli and his husband is Steve Crutchfield Stephen Crutchfield
but oh my god I mean they he said I learned all about I even read the book
extra virginity oh the horror story behind olive oil
in this country how it's all been cut with other oils and you're not actually
getting pure extra-virgin olive oil so true and that book is amazing people
need to understand that so because people are cutting it with vegetable
oils and corn oils and when you superheat those things bad things happen
but when you drink a bit I do shots of it I do shots of Villa Capelli this pet
this like peppery aftertaste because it's so pure because they actually like
they had these big old-fashioned stone grinders and they grind all the olives
up it's it's the way was done but they ship it direct pure I buy them in three
litre tins so if you're gonna try them out I have a discount code fuel fue el
so because I love them so much I'm actually gonna I'm planning our our
honeymoon there I want to because they guys restored this beautiful old Italian
villa where their olive oil farm is and now it's like a destination that all
people go there and have a wedding there if they wanted to and stuff like that so
I just want to go finally meet these guys like they've been on the podcast
and I share their stuff on social media but we've never actually met so but
again goes back to the purity of your food and cleaning up the diet as you've
helped really clarify today and it's it's hard let's be real right come on is
it all this stuff to you and I've talked about this episode today this is all
hard for some people right I think it's really difficult to get initiated to get
back to changing those habits but once you get rockin and rollin it becomes
much easier cravings lessen you know I mean once patients really once they get
there again their body trained or whatever II want to talk you may
incorporate good habits then it becomes so much easier and those patients report
that that they'll at the beginning but once they start feeling better than
they're all in so when it comes to like your book as well as your practice would
you say that part of your teachings is around the fact of like okay celebrate
the little wins as they come because that's that's gonna help fuel the fire
still be patient with the process is that the biggest
yeah absolutely absolutely and because we are all inpatient we want we we all
want to be cured so to speak right and live a healthier lifestyle but I think
the biggest issue that I constantly see is that a lot of us are impatient or we
expect the world to be fixed in 30 days and my guys depending on where you're at
before I tell you all time for a legit body transformation because I've been
doing this for a while I tell people give it give it 16 weeks I
can do a lot you can see an amazing shock in the first 30 days but with your
knowledge of hormones you know that that first 30 days is is still remodeling 60
days 90 days now you're building some sustainability 16 weeks you should have
started you should have built a nice platform and now it should be easier
sustain that am I wrong on that with thousands of you
with lifestyle changes I would say absolutely the one caveat the one
difference is if someone does pursue hormone replacement therapy well that
can kick in I don't know if I want to talk about that but that can kick in
rather quickly and then sometimes is that the pellet stuff that we saw your
bio yeah okay I have I have talked about it and that's that's your company right
I'm a certified provider oh yes yep yeah so why do people replace my thing is
this it's kind of like a drug right like so
you have to replace your hormones until you've helped your body get healthy
enough to make the hormone on his own again
right like you're not trying to keep people on that stuff the rest of their
life right there's one that they want hormones and they want hormones the rest
of their life they're not gonna make diet changes they're you know they're
not going to what we focus this in their podcast them so it's become a supplement
for them yes but then there are also patients who you get them feeling better
and they realize you know functional medicine has really opened their eyes
their lenses you know been changed and they are willing to make changes and
many times when patients do on my website I have a low um PDF three tips
to boost your hormones naturally you know is on your main ihh site actually
that's something you're a longevity blueprint website
the book of the supplements and oh yeah it's gonna fire up a little screen share
where we got that well actually I should say you have to have a special link well
I think there should be a pop-up it was I already reflect right here right in
the middle of the page scroll down just a hair oh okay
one second i refresh the browser see if the pop-up would come up there free
right there in the top three tips to boost your hormones naturally there you
go so patients who will heed that advice you know reducing stress is huge
reducing toxin exposure which also involves clean eating right and fixing
nutritional deficiencies many of those patients are able to lessen their need
for hormone replacement therapy buckin such a toxic world we have patients who
have over exercised or have had chronic high stress for years or whatnot it's
gonna take a long time for them to rebuild their body and I think there is
a time and place but warm on replacement therapy for those patients again I'm
feeling better quicker but absolutely the best long-term solution is to get
their ultimate buy-in to also make you know the lifestyle changes long term so
with peyote yeah what so what I'm hearing is yes if you if you've the
consumer the patient choose the supplement the rest your life that is
your choice it sounds like ethically from your education you are going to
teach people like guys this is just temporary you don't have to be on this
forever we're just kind of reprogramming and hitting the reset switch is that
what I'm hearing and then if you want to go off will help you trickle off as long
as you do the other things yes so some patients they have very high chronic
stress and they are just things are not gonna change other patients are able to
make some of those changes so again I need patients where they're at and we
have patients on both ends of the spectrum
interesting so would you say obviously your core practice and enters the by ot
sector of it is the by ot components becoming more and more of a frequency of
involvement are you doing it more yeah so we offer all forms of hormone
replacement therapy for patients and we think of a menopausal woman who has
had a hysterectomy there's no supplement that she's gonna be able to take that's
gonna replace her ovaries her ovaries are gone well there is a time in place
for patients there's not a lot they can do nutritionally if they don't have the
organs necessary to produce the hormones if then they're symptomatic they may
need hormones the restaurant so we offer topicals gels and creams although
they're not not my favorite they're neither perform their injectables - yes
those are all synthetic so I do not like to offer those oh okay no clarifications
glad I hostile and then there are sublingual lozenges you can put under
your tongue but biotene we believe is the most potent safest delivery method
so bio T stands for bioidentical testosterone estrogen delivered in
hormone pellets so they're almost like little grains of rice little skinny
tic-tacs almost that we implant under the fatty tissue on the kind of lower
hip upper bottom area so we numb up the patient just like if you're going to the
dentist and they numb up your mouth okay peyote has a very specific dosing
there's an algorithm online where we put all the patients labs their symptoms
their height their weight if they kind of hysterectomy all that data into the
computer for very refined dosing for that patient and those pellets are
released based on cardiac output so if a patient's exercising very vigorously we
live in Iowa and RAGBRAI I don't know if you're familiar with red red but that's
where people cycle across the whole state over a week oh yeah yeah every
summer here so I have patients who exercise very vigorously and those
patients fly through their pellets more because they're exercising you know so
much so that's one form of having testosterone and estrogen replaced that
is actually safe even for patients who smoke or have blood clotting disorders
because hormones aren't going through the gut in the liver at all we're
placing them on the fatty tissue in the back there and that's what gave hormone
replacement therapy a bad rap was hormones taken orally in that Women's
Health Initiative study all the woman's were synthetic they were horse here and
I mean that's just sounds lovely my fiance is an equine vet doctor so
I have regular access that if you want footnotes that sound enjoyable hormones
increased cancer risk and that's not something we want to replicate with our
patients whatsoever no provide something different for the patients in need that
is safe so the implant about the implantable pellet is basically a
time-released capsule so to speak yeah so the more your heart's beating the
more blood is flowing past the pellet bringing it into the bloodstream we need
it and when you're sleeping you're not gonna need as much right if you were
taking an injection or a pill or whatnot those are gonna be released differently
well I learned about that stuff like you're sort of the tongue and things
like that like for example Vinnie the guy was Tony Bell he created the purest
b12 someone that I've ever seen so he created as a sublingual and he did the
process because he is anti filler like he wants the purest possible things so
his carrier or d3 that he created has a calcium carrier I think it's a magnesium
care whatever it's like the tiniest little sublingual because he's somebody
who suffers from not being able to absorb b12 in the digestive system so he
wanted to create a sublingual because he said it's better absorbable in that area
so it's interesting how like what you're talking about all these different
components depending on the person's biology you might benefit from in oral
and it sounds like everybody benefits from an insertable pellet so for the
most part yes I mean they're very safe obviously we're monitoring labs we're
monitoring symptoms I mean it's not that we just put the patient the pellets in
the patient and never see them again we obviously are following those patients
of course but it is a it's an awesome option that gives patients pretty quick
relief do they I have to ask me does it feel weird I mean you got something big
you're putting your butt tissue is what I'm hearing
so is this something you'd notice it sounds like it sounds like it you said
like it's a grain of rice or the patient can't the patient doesn't feel them
however sometimes if the patient's like men in general don't have a lot of fat
on their bottom right if they're pretty fit or whatnot so men may be able to
feel them they may bruise a little more easily
my fiancee does say that I don't have a big enough but IIIi try I do a lot of
squats but I'm six foot four come on
discomfort of course if we're inserting something into the tissue but usually
patients within a week they're good to go they heal up and it's for men it's a
process that it's a procedure that's only twice per year I was at was my
other question was like what's the longevity so that's that's good then
because I was worried I mean obviously anytime you insert a foreign object into
the body healing is or it doesn't saw you're doing any kind of stitch ups or
anything like that right it's just a very very minor yes we use steri-strips
the tip of your fingernail I just love how this stuff is advanced I mean God
trying to think that 20 years ago never even thought about implantable hormone
pellets I mean how long has peyote been around now okay and they've been around
a long time hormone pellets are actually the most widely studied form of hormone
replacement therapy dating back to the 1950s in Europe so they're new and we
don't know a lot about them but actually they have been widely researched and
studied and that's how we know the safety so Wow
see that lace and jemmye you learn about something new every day that's always
excited by the show I told you that I gonna be learning about a stuff with you
because I didn't I've never had anybody on the show ever talking about peyote
we've never talked about hormone pellets obviously excited for I love the book by
the way did you have any branding issues with blueprint by the way because
there's all that blueprint blueprint group like a blueprint diet and all this
other stuff obviously so the cool thing was you were able to carry the blueprint
from the book into your nutraceuticals company right yeah yeah so that was good
nice tie together by the way oh and I love the fact that you actually have a
mitochondrial complex because those are the power plants within your cells
ladies and gentlemen I have that right here yeah there you go well I could also
screen share for the video watchers to amazing athletes so when you think of
you know exercising and whatnot your body is constantly shoveling short
chain fatty-acids or we'll just say if your body's trying to make energy right
so your body's shoveling fuel but the byproduct of creating energy or fire is
smoke and so what I'm trying to say is if you essentially need antioxidants to
protect you from that smoke that can be created as your body's creating energy
and so this product it's a multivitamin but it is loaded with antioxidants
it has carnitine Anthony J when I were talking about the carnitine and stuff so
yes broccoli seed extract with a sulforaphane a nice little resveratrol
and it's just it's loaded and I actually like I said I'm pregnant so I'm not
taking this right now even though it's like this well is kind of your company I
think it's okay to have a few products around so I know athletes and I
specifically taken that product for years feel much better it's just a step
I just like to call the Cadillac of multivitamins because it's a step up
containing all those antioxidants well you'll appreciate this so have you
have you had to have heard since we all talked about fighting free radicals and
the power of fish oils and everything else what are your thoughts on
glutathione or specifically lipids oval glutathione yeah so we sell that here in
our practice I I will say that we also offer IV nutritional therapy in our
practice so we can give glutathione IV intravenously
oh I haven't done that yet but I mean I I tried because like Anthony Jay doesn't
have the loyalty any companies but he approved me to try this one a few months
ago that I found we found that they only sell a through Amazon but after that DNA
analysis that he did with me he found that my genetic markers say
that I have a lo I knew I should try supplement or not yeah I thought a 90
day cycle and then I took the past I'm approaching 60 days off and then I'm
gonna do another cycle again my chiropractor actually has a liquid
version that she sells so yeah so let me go back to genetics are very important
but they're not the whole story right so if you have a gene saying you probably
need glutathione doesn't necessarily mean and he even said he's like dude
cycle it and see if you notice difference he's like you might
not notice difference right so what we do with our patients we look at their
genes but then we also run a nutritional analysis so I can see real time their
glutathione levels and their up state of stress markers to better gauge the need
from us is that a bless you get that for the blood test we do blood and urine
bowls so we don't run the test we collect for processing yes Mike my cairo
must have a lot of training similar to yours that because she I asked her
because I we rushed that DNA things so fast to get the podcast out there cuz I
what he was doing that here she said he said he would have preferred to had a
deep dive blood panel on me as well to balance his analysis he normally
wouldn't put together an analysis just dad yeah combined with genes is the best
so patients are doing it include affine there are couple ways to boost it so
just for the audience glutathione is a master antioxidant the body very
important for detoxification very protective so when we think of the aging
process we want to make sure we're not low on antioxidants keep those telomeres
long exactly so you could take an acetal cysteine which is a precursor it's an
amino acid precursor we sell that product as well like I said that's in
mitochondrial complex but for a long time the theory was that you couldn't
just take glutathione because it wasn't well absorbed and so you're mentioning
better absorbed forms like the liposomal version yeah you have a capsule form
here that I have retested patients over and over again even myself and levels
have improved so we know patients are absorbing it but we do have a sublingual
liposomal version patients will hold under their tongue a few minutes and
then swallow so that's another option for patients and then if they're really
low we're gonna be recommending IVs to get those levels up Wow
so would you say that just because I'm the crazy health and fitness nut and an
endurance athlete I'm very clean on my diet it that that helps but it still
doesn't fix if there's a deficiency a natural occurring deficiency correct
correct especially if you're like genetically you know predisposed to
being lower yeah when again he said he found that marker yeah you know what the
test that he also found markers that confirm why I love coffee so much I
actually processed caffeine 50 percent faster than most people it's
reinforce wildin cough that's me I was like yes sweet that just reinforces my
lifestyle be also fine you know there's a marker like there's markers that
signify if you're gonna be more previous position to endurance training versus
strength training yeah and I've always just naturally fallen to the endurance
sports and never thought about it and he said oh he's like you have the markers
for that so unfortunately I had all the genes that set me up for having like an
adrenalin storm just oh super jazzed up and that's me okay he says I have a hard
time displacing it or getting rid of it yeah
so like my fiance says I could be a real asshole sometimes that's official
medical way of saying it but yeah I get really pumped up and I feel it I'm
hooked on it now I I never took any until almost a year ago and now I take
it every night before I go to bed plus the coffee you're drinking Rob's you
have magnesium so yeah yes I've noticed the difference though especially if
stress level management stuff like that even the glutathione I think it's has
helped with that as well I think it's a great combo without me doing any further
analysis I've I've just felt that the balance is much better so I know when I
don't go work out I'm gonna have a little too much energen alone in me that
day yeah is that actually a valid way of explaining that like if you you and I
hold on to that too long you'd pretty much have to find a healthy way to expel
it yes okay but we also need to incorporate calming activities like yoga
and deep breathing because we can't do that every single day I'm working on my
meditation yeah I'm working on meditation and proper breathing I do do
yoga like every week at least once a week actually I stopped for a while and
now the past three week we started it again and I totally
noticed a difference when I first started yoga I was like people do this I
can't sit still I can't you know I couldn't even I couldn't do it and now
you go well I go and I almost fall asleep because you're like my sister
from another mother right now it's like yeah I know exactly what you're talking
about I been there like when I used to when I see live in Colorado I got into
yoga a lot and then when I moved back here to Pennsylvania I kind of took a
break from it and I only did it when my friends were doing in stuff like that
and I realized I was missing a key component that's it's it's cuz I got I
got the crazy adrenaline junkie sports and rock climbing and skydiving and I
mountain biking and everything else it's like okay when I got CrossFit so I can't
expel the adrenaline but to your point I I need more of a Zen balance as well yes
so now I preach it because this is all in the book yeah no I mean I hate your
book all right okay I'm gonna share that again - ladies and gentlemen again for
the video Watchers where's that book there it is Barnes Noble or Amazon your
longevity blueprint at homes have been out there now Black Friday of November
17th or 2017 so a little over a year no nice okay and I will say obviously you
can't really beat that price right there we will offer a 10% off code on our
website if you use the code Thanks fuel right there we go and or the pillow fans
Thanks fuel I'm gonna write that down yes
that's a code it's not a URL right correct yeah it would that website that
you were just on the your longevity blueprint site if you put anything in
the shopping cart then it would ask for a promo code and you certainly could use
that awesome wait so if I buy all this stuff is that work on that - yeah okay
you say you do have a glutathione you know what we don't have one on the
website okay yet we have an acetal cysteine but we don't have we sell it in
the inter practice we sell we have a huge supply of supplements
our specific brand is a little more limited I am intrigued about the
mitochondrial complex though too so that's interesting because I'm such an
athlete nut that's interesting I was looking at that profile but I also like
the fact you actually have a gut shield product too because yeah there's so many
people that are not gonna be implementing some of these healthy
practices we've discussed today so I'm not saying band-aid it but can't hurt
because I don't take I don't I don't consume probiotics I think that's this
is a whole or show I mean we've already gone pretty long here we're at the bring
this show to an episode of close but we could probably have a follow up show
just on gut biology and how let's say this probiotics is like a guessing game
unless you've done the tests am I wrong on that
yeah and that's where I think very interesting because I think a lot of
companies are now testing the microbiome in new ways or they are testing the
microbiome in new ways that will help to personalize for the types of strains
that you'd probably accept patients need new biomes yeah so that's one of the
companies yeah we work heavily with genomic I ignite X they're big
functional medicine live in Georgia and they run a stool test and they do map
out some of the bacteria so if patients are low in lactobacillus or difficult
after species or whatnot then we know we need to give the patients those strains
and that'll also tell us if they have bad bacteria used over growth parasites
whatnot it looks at their digestion and absorption it's a it's an awesome test
so that absorption Capone is huge they you consume all the supplements you want
but if you're not if you don't if you have a consumption issue or the or some
of those products are overly processed or they have the wrong ingredients in
them you're just consuming very expensive vitamins and supplements and
just peeing or you know expelling them out and never getting enough out of it
who doesn't tolerate them well I had my book I had SIBO small intestinal
bacterial overgrowth so my dietary counts were really high I
didn't need a lot more you're causing more harm than good and so but that's
just another example of how we try to personalize the treatment program for
our patients because everyone's different not everybody needs a high
potency probiotic some people do don't get me
but not everybody does well waste German you gotta get this book cuz I am I got
to here though all the rest of the back story the podcast has been amazing today
that meeting you it sounds like I'm gonna get so much
more out of your backstory and I have a feeling everything you've been through I
probably I could probably probably pick little components out of all the stuff
you've been through and I could connect it to a lot of other people that I know
and just different different different symptoms that they probably have
experienced because they sounds like you've been through a lot well that's my
hope others can learn from my journey there we go
alright so again ladies and gentleman when you go to your longevity blueprint
calm score the book and look at other stuff but again used thanks fuel for
your full fans and and save a little it's the holiday season
you know it's a thing you might want to do that before 2019 because we are gonna
air you before 2019 I'm gonna try actually you know for the holiday season
I'm gonna move some stuff around let's try and get this thing up during the
holiday week next week recording this right before the Christmas holiday or
whatever how do you celebrate before New Year's so I make sure this is up before
the new year I love healthy influencers so I try and
put you guys on the forefront yeah we can learn business day-in day-out
so is there anything else you wanted to catch on today because if not you get
the final words to help close out the show so I want to see if there was
anything all encompassing a message you want to leave behind for listeners if
they forget everything else that we review today well I think we we
emphasize the importance of eating clean and reducing stress I mean those are two
awesome tips right there so I think those are the biggest take homes but
then again just my message is I've said this word a couple times hope that's in
the back of the book I list a lot of references for patients to find
functional medicine providers near their you know wherever they're living near
their residents so I I don't I think sometimes patients hear things or
individuals may hear a message and it resonates but then they don't know where
to go from there so if it resonates with you and you know you or a family member
need functional medicine don't give up find a provider who can
help you repair and rebuild your body you won't regret it
mmm there we go ladies and gentlemen let's get some repair going this holiday
