[1:06] Best way to have a healthy family is by living a family wellness lifestyle so if you're looking for a fishing affected and sustainable ways to elevate your health and the health of your family,
then i strongly recommend you make yourself comfortable,
because we have an amazing show for us today till shadow has expertise in taking complex nutritional topics and explaining them in clear easy to understand raise kids developed,
workshops and training programs on dozens of different health and nutritional topics,
in this coauthor of the acclaimed nutritional masters for series still is currently the senior director of strategic development formatted janet's,
where he uses his back ground and knowledge to help translate science into practical application for the healthcare practitioner alright families what welcome bill,
walking families my name is dr kyle were coming to you live from the michigan family wellness clinic today and our guest on the show today is bill shadow welcome to podcast bill it's so great to have you,
awe thank you some of the kroger bluetooth for this.

[2:08] Really and so bill as you know this is the michigan family wellness podcast hours ask our guests to questions first of all,
tell us a little bit of what family looks like for you.

[2:19] That's a good question i put it on two levels first family is my immediate family which is my wife and i are dark we don't have kids we treat our dog is if you are a family member which is.
What a pathetic i know that but what,
and in the second is a broader family which includes my friends and acquaintances is the functional medicine can,
yes that's very rough family and i do,
think of a very much a family i'm so glad you mentioned that um brought that up first of all thank you for sharing about your own family there but then that's how we got connected i heard you speak at a seminar gosh feels like over year ago now i'm just so thankful and grateful to have you on the,
i guess they thought yes talk about a microbe i'm before we get there tell us real quick what do you love about state of michigan,
what happened i live in california now and i am convinced that i really miss the midwestern several things about the west end and right now it's early april and you guys are just coming out of winter.
But i am gonna miss the seasonal changes i miss when spring starts to appear and miss when.

[3:27] You know the first snow fall turns everything beautiful pristine white i'm is that,
the summers and fall when the trees change in michigan absolutely represents the prettiest lot of time in michigan i just love.

[3:40] Awesome brilliant love it thanks so much again bill we can talk all day about california i was out in san francisco and.
That was beautiful sound but hey what's actually jumping and get a new army it's just conversation for today,
as we're talking about in our presure this can really go down several different rabbit holes but let's try to conceptualize this for people so,
what were talking about today families is the microbe i am so the diversification or perhaps lack there of the quality of the,
got microbes that are in our got we know from the literature that we have over a hundred trillion bacterial cells.
And as components of that there are the dogs if you will there's also the bad bugs.
And so now bill can you just gonna start off with perhaps maybe just like an overview of the functions now we're talking about digestive,
and you and all these different things that no transmitters the gut brain axis let's just start there.
Okay first of all the the the sixty thousand with you if you miss.
I've been in the field of functional medicine for a long time most of my adult career track and it wasn't all that long ago in my living agree that most gastroenterologist to the gi tract is as.
The repository of waste materials to lower gi talk about about as the storage area of waste materials and on its on his way out of the bottom.

[5:08] And the bacteria that live there were just there,
and dusty were neutral at worst their potential threats to our existence that url and that has been almost a hundred eighty degree turnaround since that time the past,
how can a fifteen years maybe twice as more and more people began to study the microbiology which is defined as the bacteria that live in us,
and on us and particularly the guest room transfer my mobile.
Which is the box to live in our digestive track in your justice is fresh battery when you think about it because there's many more of those bacterial cells in our cells in our body.
And in fact if you,
one of the one of the perspectives this gaining ground now is to consider the microbiology as a.

[6:02] Nine is just a colony of bacteria but actually got her of an industrial important part of our just,
i'll rather than looking at us as discreet from the marker bio scientists are beginning to think that the micro bio actually makes a part of our existence that we should be viewed as a composite of us,
and all of our host cells cells born with and then the bacteria,
and there own dna and if you look like that ninety nine percent of the dna that has an impact on our bodies and our justice more health,
ninety nine percent of from these bacteria so.
The the police is bacteria just are there and that they don't really matter one way or another it's is almost.

[6:53] And interestingly one of the first people to.
Draw attention to that was researcher at the university of illinois named abigail sell yours and in her.

[7:05] Her interests come from what was happening at the time she began looking at the switch is in the early nineties right around the first anthrax scare,
and that is what people are using antibiotics indiscriminately to control their fear of exposure to answer each will wait a minute because she was one of the sinuses right above us government,
two to report about this and she said no women because the battery that were killing off maybe not such a good idea,
me be thinking about what good things are that they do for us and then with the ability to do easy dna testing,
and you know mapping of a fecal material affect your that are in our got we're learning so much more about,
the sum what we we are never shop now f six thousand thirty were coming to the where's the battery are the import and probably without them we couldn't survive,
right,
and i think those are great points i mean especially when you consider all the plethora of literature that comes out of you do a literature search on pot matter even google for example just,
even if you punch me got or intestine from your ability which is literature terminology there's just times ensure that comes up.
Yeah that you know where can talk about your here today so it's no one thing i like is again there is,
met a generous like that they promote is,
the clinical side of the street and go get pro biotic off the shelf your having some constipation or if your having diarrhea or if you feel like you have leaky gut syndrome or if you feel guilty then all those all those reasons are great.

[8:43] Reason why to consider you know supplementing with a high quality pro biotic but the main thing i like about,
what nigga jennings has as they out they always promote the genius train species they want a clinical with their recommendations can you tell us about why that matters and more about that,
yeah that's a good question what thank you probably the best metaphor think of this lol what's that you got up to,
lawn in your backyard and is dirt and for whatever reason is is there's nothing growing there,
so you think you know i don't like that it's brown i'd like it to be green so you go down to the local store the supply store feed store and buy heard she,
which is what a lot of different types of seeds and is back are you tossed back,
well what are you gonna get you gonna get everything you have you got some tall dresser get some flowers to get some short rest you can all kinds,
read it what you want instead there's a lawn that you can play croquet on,
that you need to be specific about what you so there and just like you mentioned before their sisters like hundred trillion different micro clusters probably,
thousands of different types of my students he strangers other than a man of you just a random.

[10:13] Pickles or whatever it none getting a pro biotic better it is beneficial probably,
although you don't know for certain but you probably will be getting beneficial bacteria because ultimately that's where they came from or right is from a guy right up but don't really know what is going to do for you,
nice we're literature is going and i think you touch very well that is that there's a eight like a subset of the bacteria.

[10:43] They are generally beneficial the things that you're gonna find in yoga gonna find them and butter milk and different sauerkraut and fermented foods can she things that were familiar with.
Or doctors but beyond that the the literature is showing that in order to get therapeutic benefit.

[11:03] Going for a specific purpose or condition right what be your mobile or c difficile infection mom,
i'm in america so shit diarrhea which is something she does number of other things you have to know the bacteria that you're giving because the therapeutic benefits.

[11:23] That you get out of it is dictated by the bacteria that some literature and while driving in the side of it starts now if you want to control a c diff infection,
for example,
yogurt may help in the states that it will turn your backyard green using alarm number for really want is a four k one you have very specific battery which is identified as being beneficial to protect you against,
senior,
now and you mentioned it got rained connection there's that you're the man identified overnight get commercially available for things like to persian,
anxiety autism spectrum disorder wrap obesity there's this is real estate just yesterday,
there's an article was published in the journal of american medical association pediatrics johna pediatrics which is about as conservative as you can get,
raise the question that there is a link on the seventh so mark clearly gets don't need to be lose it but there's a link between.
The metronome ipad while yes childhood obesity,
so the the better living in the mother's gi tract and in the birth canal influence on whether or not her baby.
Gets up with the city as it after it warms up bro so pass the.

[12:54] You know to to look at it from that perspective that's absolutely cheating because your girl like jumpy actors attention to the inter connectedness between micro bio and or water.

[13:05] Yeah that's really mean that thank you for mentioning that research job one thing i believe that i have talked about on the podcast your before and some of the you know wedding are there patients been seen is just how.
I believe there is a link established between the mother and the child in terms of the insulin and sounds of the hormones functions i would.
Yeah see how they could draw the relationship between micro around and sell of being.
Are any kind of diabetic context you know later on a post living things like the,
i wanna go back to what you said about the commercial availability and inside is an elected so salivary as you see on eights because that's actually great connection is my understanding i mean,
when you look at salivary salon will touch on some of those things in terms of we got an app ophelia sounds and how it is in a really silly,
get into the,
diversification of the goes well but salivary is was it commercially available years ago and then the sourcing without the ability to culture it is marshall availability was our compromise or something like that but now it's back as much at.
That's right we as you mentioned earlier i will work for managing it for number of years and about five years ago or four years ago we we brought to market a product that was the,
also very selective so was salivary fuses c one specific strain of bacteria that was shown to be beneficial in helping to control,
increase permit in the gi tract go back and talk about the ramifications of that unfortunately the.

[14:39] The second bash that we got from production didn't meet our criteria,
the first batch which gave us about six months apply was great but the second that didn't.
At first the mr vendor the person that the company that we were purchasing raw materials from went back and forth about why that might be but it became clear that it was a,
apparently problem is going from a small batch which was the first batch to a larger batch which was production,
the radio just a little car and we couldn't for,
are the plates are you a process would allow us to tomorrow because it wasn't cost of living and unfortunately it wasn't something like we just put a little more,
that happens all the time to be able but what we had this look on a hobart to be to claim them on top,
what beach we went back to the people who were manufactured forces seven when you can squires with three consecutive matches.
There are production level batches of the the large two year supply attaches me the label claim for stability overtime,
then we'll bring it back to the market,
smh taken about two years to be able to do that because it don't just grow overnight growing and we have to march them over time they maintain stability shows really functional stability and label.

[16:15] Red light with just watched it last.
Yeah that's a great point to the stability the ability if you weld two package this you know there's there's a little bit of manufacturing finance if you will because and i want to just drop this point,
real quick as well before we get talking more about salivary is down.

[16:39] There's a lot of different microbes out there as huge as you mention right not everyone of those microbes are we able to.
Culture if you will and put in a capsule or put in the powder is that right yeah that's absolutely right so when you surgeon literature for.
I mentioned the journal pediatrics journal amended little bit ago may say that this bacteria in one of the study is the cited there is associated with but,
particular bacteria may not be commercially available right right,
so i wanna draw a line brief chiropractor connection so i have a lot of people with their lower back pain obviously as a doctor of chiropractic every now and then it's not actually there's spine that's causing the lower back pain it's actually this roast a medical referral from a kidney stones of the,
the development of calcium oxide late stones right so one of the microorganisms that's been shown to decrease the deposition of you or the formation of those calcium stones is and see if i can say this,
right cuz all these names axel of actor form in jens not not sure if you are familiar with that one specifically but will not i'm not held est,
funny but to illustrate my point that's actually not a is an organism that you can culture in terms of from manufacturing perspective so then the clinical question becomes okay.
What can we do for my diet and lifestyle and supplemental for a way out of perspective to insure age that got.
To diversify and increase its volume so foreman gems if you well that's really really important point and i think it goes to something that we actually haven't touched on yet but.

[18:18] Or component to consider and probably a discussion for another time but it's just work all three by alex which is the food is bacteria eat.

[18:27] These your number just double fibers there and then we can i just buy what can be the justice by the bacteria that live in our got and we can you eat those foods that contain those fibers,
those those agents which are as a circle priviledge go to feed the friendly bacteria.
So even though we might not be able to make commercially available at your bacterium.

[18:53] We may be able to enhances pro with the right type of accident yep that's exactly the model that i've seen and heard and i think it's really good results clinically especially again from a functional medicine from,
why style nutritional medicine perspective you have all of these people who have taken several rounds of antibiotics and a really decrease,
there fortitude if you will of the micro bio and she so important to look at this and,
consider chronically wets actually talk about salivary specifically i'd like you to touch on how it helps in terms of feeling the tight junctions that in chestnut hill yourselves and then,
how's little bit more about bacteria since cuz i think not a lot of people have heard of that are understand what that it's,
what does the second part first bacteria sins are agents that some but not all bacteria produce,
what they are is chemicals these bacteria generate as part of their life cycle which either protect them.
Or support their ability to grow in a particular buyer men or stressed to grow other bacteria.
Which then allows the bacteria to grow so the part of that the battery is defense mechanism of you well as i said not all back your cruise director isms.
And in the fact that is a world term bacteria since implies.
There's lots of different things that are considered to be doctors job here is that.

[20:24] These bacteria work by specific mechanism and if we understand what those mechanism are.
And then using a better ability to monitor the progress of the treatment and also make sure that we are using the right bacteria for the right approach,
so if you were to you don't know how it works you just kinda saying well,
no cuz i could see you give to people that helps we don't really know why bread but one of the things in biochemistry one of the things in,
in pharmacology actually an in nutritionist try and figure out what is the mechanism by does vitamin c help connecting the know what exactly is the biochemical pathway the garlic fishing,
jump to control cholesterol of you can understand that then you could go and see how it works and that's where these pictures is coming and also very is you c c one eight has been shown specifically to produce bacteria since,
that hoe to control the spread of infectious agents of the body presumably through having an influence on the.
Add in in this particular instance the way that we know that is an animal study three different groups of animals were exposed to listeria.
I have an invasive infectious condition and the the.
The animals these were lab mice the boys that had no treatment they were the controls show the concentration of the story through their their app and the mice that had the you c one eight.

[21:59] As a screen goes in,
there's no there's no mystery infection also another git protected them against this invasion board and then there's a third group.
That was given the you c c one eight but have a better isn't knocked out of.
And to particular bacteria that they had they had mutated so it's not produce this particular bacterias,
i had one cuz weather training is to say alright is it the back commission that's giving the the protection or something else can you sue one okay,
what they found is that he's disturbing my sleep at that with a knockout mice for the after using,
god listeria infection that's reliable test to show the uc one one eight and specifically the bacterias in it,
where at least part of the mechanism to talk to controls your,
and then there was another study that was done this is a human cell lines in other words they would take a sample of human cells grow them in a test tube and then test for your post.
And this is the red double take a two xl which are traditionally used to test the function of custard total.
Actually found is that if you that the well let me tickets i drink your charger here for what a the tight junctions.
Which are the connection between cells in your your lore gi tract.

[23:36] Yes truly believed that the best description i read was by dr less of a sanyo hard reset when using the school he was taught that the change options were like tile.

[23:48] And the i'm sorry to solve one gi tract like tile and the options with the drop in the.

[23:55] So the purpose of that is to seal the joint in between these two sells these you're joining cells that line the gi tract,
the reason i support just because you don't want anything speaking pastor normal adjusted mechanisms.
Which allow facilitated sure channels of digested food because the bacteria that live there you wanna keep that out.
Rash appears it was believed that is tight junction were static which means that they they would for the what.
Connect me with just stay that way through that sell any of the ball down the night was a pathological condition which allowed potentially harmful agents to get into the bloodstream.
Well what's the sorrow and others on his team discovered is that an actual fact mr georges are not static.
They're dynamic is that the properties that make up does this interface.
There are proteins that are produced by the cell line this gi tract that those those parties protrude from the side of the cell and interlaced with their counterparts in the other cell,
and when the interlaced that makes a positive connection it's not just that the to celebrate together.
You can talk on the connection that holds together after.

[25:16] Well this proteins forest which means they shiner florescent light in the laboratory.

[25:24] I am in a in a test to show they took three different are for different cell phones types of pierogies they were florescent.

[25:33] And they show what they look like at normal and you can see the nice outline of the that sells where the procedure for suv leadership blowing.
It's there intact the old souls together nice.

[25:47] They supposed to sell to hydrogen peroxide which is a chemical that causes destruction destruction district,
okay we'll be grated the day then workday the word is all set and you could see that there's no tight junction city sells them or is the soul rebel fusion clear.

[26:07] But then they print treated them with you c c one eight and then gave hydrogen peroxide and again protected cells.
So now we have two different mechanism which which has been demonstrated to help protect the cells from degree,
one of them is the protection against accident stress but does the hydrogen peroxide does the word is true victor's daughter research,
that those two studies demonstrate.

[26:36] In my opinion all didn't explicitly say this in my humble opinion or my reading of literature i think that the mechanism is probably two different ways looking.

[26:47] Is it flat or process that happens a nigga.

[26:51] That causes these proteins to become the greatest or to become the production to correct to say that the production of these proteins become stressed.
And when that happens the project around kinda like your go pro or similar velcro all together but you pull them apart then.
The cells the big gap junction between salt or so on.

[27:18] These both of those two mechanisms inflammation i'm sorry be i didn't dropped side serial.
Mark diameter is the the the actual underlying trigger to,
please that's for that as well so that's kinda my take that's incredible i was there with the one study with hagin frank said i was not familiar with the other study with listeria stashes remarkable on,
you know this is why i want to talk about you c c one al salivary is because it really is quite unique and very specific i mean if you've looked at other no side of your pro biotic bottle or whatever you know a lot of its very repetitive between you know different companies are there for manufactures but you c c one eight salivary as its very specific and it has very research functions jeremy just remark on a few others specific to use you c one a but also just having a,
well balanced or by amp reducing anxiety by acting on specific receptors of the gut brain axis increasing the production and utilization of,
your rates fresh again we can really go down several different avenues here we don't have all the time to do that today in and also regulating commune system function and,
checking around our conversation your bill i always you know my dad always told me what can be measured can be controlled so,
i like to start with a baseline so one of the things that we're offering our patients here is a micro bio i'm still test for it so for the pay,
patients were willing to go there with a stool test will be have them do is actually take a sample of their still send it into a lab and as a complimentary no.

[28:57] Those microbe ions and look at their diversification or lack of diversification i've done my own test i need to my lack of the solas because i'm low on my cell so,
is that something is promoted in the functional medicine world is you knows testing stuff actually it's happy to this earlier when i mentioned that,
what's,
new technology were able to measure dna much much more rapidly and easily and inexpensively never was able to before you sleep,
previously to the technology that was originally developed during the human genome and then human mark mobile,
the only way to transfer gi bacteria was to do a stool evaluation which meant that you would like to still show and then see what up culture.

[29:45] What is the problem is that you re don't grow in together and it's rice bowl that meant that.
But you get a lot of false negatives because results come back and say well with your negative four ls off while i was it doesn't go to,
to really know what you're doing and only a few left were able to do that was very very likely that you'd get lost very few really.
I am able to measure them accurately,
well with the new technology now we can inexpensively we need to live people can inexpensively reliably measured the dna.
When i try to culture there measuring the dna and that can be done even on a cell stock my right so that allows much much.

[30:36] Easier inexpensive rapid weight setting what's going on g i track down the widest of this explosion of interest you have before you can do a google scholar search for micro bio,
i have never hit you get there in the tens of thousands right.
And fuck back to your initial question yes i think that's a really interesting in and would be a valuable test of course is not something that we know nothing about to say.
Will this bacteria is to low and therefore we need to take more of it not being a major,
like looking for instance a well its got oak trees maple ash got some trees i think there's not of maple trees over,
right you don't know are we don't have enough data yet.
About the human michael brown to be able to reliably draw the conclusion that this city bacteria.
Or that weather be friendly or unfriendly is too far to go just yet.
We're still we're still collecting dollar which i suspect is why this lab huge driving right is gathering as much information as i can to establish a bitch.

[31:52] That's exactly what they're doing ass signs again the whole purpose with this is just to elevate the profession to be able to serve more people with,
clinical knowledge and information which i thank you bill for providing for our listeners here today and we can do some much as chiropractors we can further that structural care,
with leicester nutritional medicine i've been there so much that we can learn from in terms of the microwave i'm back and help improve our functional hell so if your struggling with energy if your struggling with anxiety depression leaky gut loading digestion there's all these lifestyle app,
applications that benefited from taking a look at your micro bio,
and really figuring this out so that is available to us reson i couldn't agree more i have quicken site for of i'm such a nerd i love this finds absolutely thousand.
And i can tell from our conversation that you do as well from when i first met about.

[32:46] That's where as a kid growing up did you ever see yourself being so interested in the topic like this actor who played the track.
Did you find it to be best in this amazing.

[33:00] Schedule hey thanks so much bill i really appreciate your time today we may have to have you on the platform to discuss and what about,
free about ex or some other functional health topics oh thanks again really appreciated that the pleasure of thinking,

For the busy family and this back to school season good day families my name is dr kyle and in the family wellness chiropractor at the michigan family wellness clinic today we're talking all about back to school family wellness.

[2:43] Many parents got up early this week to send their kids off to their first day of school.

Not only is there a major change in the seasons which can at aggravate allergies and circadian rhythms are sleep rhythms.

[4:14] But changes in schedules academic responsibilities social pressures extracurricular activities like sports and athletes and even jobs for some high school and college aged people.

[4:26] All of these combine put in increased demand on our original system are immune system and require quality sleep for recovery.
The sudden and compound nature of these changes often results in illness or injury.
Because our bodies are not only stress but we aren't taking enough time to rest.

[4:46] Poor diets and refined carbohydrates processed foods will only add fuel to this flame physiologically dysfunction so.

[4:56] As we kick off our discussion here and here we go this is the typical back to school family a lot of families like i said a lot of parents got early on tuesday morning to see their kids off the bus stop.
It was a great site going into the office to i just patients on tuesday morning.

[5:13] Alright so here we are here is the family wellness toolbox so we have tools on the left and we have applications on the right.
So to help prevent yourself and family from getting sick and handling all the stress we mention i've designed a family wellness toolbox.
The toolbox is a combination of therapeutic nutritional medicine and a daily multi vitamin that keep the body charge and responsive to handle the challenges and stress.
Associated with life especially going back to school.
Everyone this is resiliency remember the whole purpose and mission and vision behind the mission family wellness clinic.
Is to equip you with resiliency which is that strength to adapt to the stress in your life alright.

[6:01] So we're gonna talk through these a tools and the multivitamin and we're going over these applications for you so let's start with rodeo engine saying but first let's have a conversation about our adrenal glands in case you were wondering.
The adrenal glands are these two triangular shaped glands that sit on top of her kidneys they produce hormones and make up a significant part.
Of our and consistent in animals wanna stress are arises they respond by going into a fight or flight mode or a sympathetic response.
After the stress or is removed or the event is over the animal returns to a relaxed state.
Or home in stasis which is a balance between paris and pathetic and sympathetic nervous systems in humans we also enter into a fight or flight response when faced with the stress or whether the work school relationships you name it.
But oftentimes humans don't return to a relaxed state.
Many factors from contribute to this pattern the adrenal glands releases a hormone,
called cortisol which you can see down here at the bottom of this diagram cortisol is our stress hormone and low amounts it is very helpful for our fight or flight response the trouble is.
Sometimes the adrenal glands produce cortisol all the time or a chronic stress response okay there's this constant stimulus calling for more court is all,
this is what is known as the hp access for the hypothalamus pituitary axis the adrenal glands they're just one part of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis okay.

[7:36] As you can appreciate in this diagram the adrenal glands are alternately,
okay specifically the hypothalamus and pituitary the anterior pituitary this is called the hp access and this is why most americans are sick.
Chronically fatigued and developing metabolic syndromes that lead to more pathological conditions so.
How do we fix and support all of this this is where rodeo.
That really function well to support the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal.
Or the hp a access rodeo engine sing support mental clarity and support cognitive function the promo vitality and stamina,
to help maintain proper energy support physical endurance maintain feelings of general well being,
when experiencing temporary stress they help the body adapt to the changes of everyday life and if that is resiliency.
I don't know what is so as you can see there are tons of benefits and value to rodeo jensen here.

[8:41] If you test well for this medication for this medicine i often tell people to take two tablets in the mid afternoon,
right when you start to crave that third or fourth cup of coffee or right when you just feel so exhausted that you are about to fall asleep at work so that's rodeo legend sing supporting your adrenal glands during seasonal changes is one of the most important things you can do.
To prevent fatigue and elements alright so let's talk about the importance of vitamin d.

[9:08] Here's the thing the body can synthesize vitamin d via ultraviolet light from the sun the trouble is we live in michigan.
And there's not a lot of sunshine for most the months of the year specially september to may or june.
Not only that but one of my mentors dr cass helps us understand if your shadow is taller than you are.
The angle of the light hitting your skin is not the correct angle for your body to make vitamin d.
The optimal angle of the sun is when your shadow is as tall or shorter than you are.

[9:42] Healthy vitamin d levels correlate with strong bones a happy mood and contribute to healthy dna slash are any signaling vitamin d specifically vitamin d three has become one of the most study nutrients of the human body.
We now understand the importance of vitamin d not just as a vitamin but as a nurse hormone that has profound signaling significance.

[10:05] The reason i like this particular vitamin d is because it's a light is on spray which is the best formula not only for adults but also for kids with growing bones because.
The and k seven variation which is significantly enhances the absorption of vitamin d.
As we said earlier the body can make vitamin d in the presence of ultraviolet sunlight and with enough available cholesterol that's how the synthesis occurs people who live in northern latitudes such as michigan wisconsin.
These people are in danger of not getting enough daily vitamin d especially in the winter months so okay solar add this one here is a highly absorbable d three and k two combination like i said in that spray.
Which helps the absorption and direction of calcium so if you're concerned about us up near us your process.
If you're concerned about heart conditions prostate breast conditions these are all things that are skinny supported by optimal levels of vitamin d.

[11:12] It's absorbs directly into the bloodstream because it's a spray it doesn't go through the gi tract through your stomach like a oral medication when.
One spray supplies one thousand international units of vitamin d three.
And patience tell me they experience the best results when they use about five ten sprays per day where there's more and more research to show that.
We need to be doing ten thousand international units or more of vitamin d three to really get those levels in the blood over one hundred over two hundred which is where a lot of.
Nero and for now i just like to see those levels.

[11:49] Okay so now i just know we mention the gastrointestinal tract so let's talk about how we can support our got in this back to school season,
okay so here is ortho biotic this is our pro biotic that we use the office or at least one of the main thing with probiotics your everyone.
Is that you want to have a diversity of your micro by am so as we go back to school this year our got is one of the places that interfaces with the outside world it acts as a barrier to pathogens and antigens.
And if it's working properly it working as the food we eat and to new transit ourselves can use.
When we eat process foods and high sugar diets are got very your begins to break down and display oses begins to set in,
also known as intestinal per me ability or leaky gut if you for those terms furthermore when i get doesn't work our brain doesn't work because of the got brain connection,
so here's the practical application if you're trying to help your kids do well on exams help their brain by helping their got which okay so we also have this formula in a powder form this is called flora boost okay for kids who have trouble swallowing capsules.
You can make this into a glass of water or a juice or milk and they can drink this and you don't have to worry about swallowing capsules.

[13:10] Furthermore combat these patterns by eating clean organic non gmo.
And taking ortho biotic one or two times per day with meals each capsule or the biotic includes twenty billion county forming units or cf use.
Which is one of the reasons why like this formula so much further more a particular strain called lactic the solas ram know sis.
Has been thoroughly studied as a mood modulator so here's just a little bit more information about that this particular strain affects depression and stress behavior in my ss okay.
So here's the thing.
When they do the studies on mice they will measure the levels of stress when they put mice in water because my still like to swim when my sir place in a tub of water they freak out and week and we can measure their stress levels by measuring.
The release of the hormone cortisol member quarters off earlier cortisol shoots through the roof when these mice are placed in water we can also measure.
Other vital signs like heart rate and blood pressure when in the water the heart rate of the mice increases along with their blood pressure however.
When researchers supplement these mice with locked up so its ram noses or the specific kind of probiotic.

[14:29] The than those mice are placed in the water the mice are relaxed one reach one researcher described this affect as a valuable like affect so.
Can you imagine that kind of value i'm level like a fax just from taking your probiotic so.

[14:45] Again this stuff is powerful this stuff is there pubic but it's gotta be right for you so remember.
You have to be tested for these things and here's the practical application it's not gonna work if you don't take it.
So take your pro biotic supplement alright so we gotta talk about the sinuses because during seasonal changes are sinuses make up the front lines of defense against allergies and opportunists that infections.
Supporting your sinus cavities with central is the smart way to clear the airway and come back on friendly antigens optimal sinus health requires proper circulation through the sinus cavity that is free of mucus buildup.

[15:23] Under healthy conditions the sinuses are empty and have a thin layer of mucus.
A healthy process that occurs in the sinus cavities turned musa mucosa larry clearance.
Allows the at the fillmore those layers of cells.
In coordination with mucous production to continually remove waste from the sinuses by facilitating drainage and particle removal okay so sign a shawl.
Supports sinus health by increasing that mucosa.
Which is decreasing the buildup of mucus and boosting the immune response.
During respiratory challenges so here is a great alternative to new snacks is this santa trawl.
Right here okay so again sasha is a specialized preparation a botanical new trans formulated to help support the immune health.
And immediate support for respiratory challenges.
Alright and a seal system is a powerful amino acid that dissolved mucus by breaking up dice off i bonds that contribute to mucus density.

[16:29] The plant enzyme brown lean axe in synergy with an a c assisting due to its protein digesting effects are there's also a little bit of licorice root.

[16:40] Which sooth the respiratory irritation and a little bit time sooth the sinuses and helps loosen the flat if your allergies are stronger and more intense than average.
Enhance the power of sandwich all by adding natural d hist the combination of these two supplements work synergistic lee,
to even further knock out allergies alright so talk about natural d hist this is a powerful combination of lavender rides and tax ins and pro deal it enzymes.
And botanical stays in to provide comprehensive support for seasonal changes caused by common environmental allergens.
The key ingredient cresson is a powerful five annoyed that supports healthy histamine levels.
Curtains affect on seasonal discomfort is on match by other natural substances.

[17:27] Curses and has limited absorption in the body but has a long half life meaning the body has the ability to store it and use it over time.
Building up a reserve of course of ten in the body is critical.
For the effective support of nasal and sinus passages during seasonal changes unlike traditional approaches curses and stops the release of histamine before it starts.
It does this by stabilizing mass cells specialize new cells that when activated.
Release histamine that cause seasonal discomfort so by binding to calcium protein complexes.
Corsican prevention influx of calcium into the mass cells this inhibit the process of mass cell rupture.
And other chemical meters from being released without the release of histamine the body does not react to come in environmental triggers so again if you're really suffering from allergies.
The combination of natural d hist not person combined with sasha all is a great natural alternative to always taking your flonase and your new snacks.
And all of that over the counter stuff that really,
can be doing more harm than good if you're taking it all the time chronically is it really solving the problem so now that we've done all this hard work to knock out antigens and mobilize mucus we need to help the body get rid of it and that's for drainage know you comes and,
alright the simple thing to remember about drainage know you is that helps the body clean and clear connective tissue.
And other words it's a homeopathic remedy designed to train and tone of ii organs of detoxification especially the lymph the lymphatic drainage down there.

[19:05] Is really really important you can have the best immune system in the world but you have to be able to identify the antigens kill the antigens and then remove them through the elimination pathways and that's what drainage know you.
Helps with okay.

[19:22] And it does this naturally like i said it's a great home you'll have moving on some melatonin here melatonin is the hormone that opposes cortisol in the circadian rhythms okay,
you need to be getting a good night's sleep as you go back to school and as your transitioning in this transitional time of year.
This helps your body buffer and recover from all of the stress of a transitional time of the year.
The thing i like about this version of melatonin is that again it's a spray delivery so it's bypassing got digestion which is way more effective.
And you end up using less and eating less plus it's more absorbable right into your pena clan which is where your body naturally produces melatonin anyways so i highly recommend.
Getting tested for the effectiveness the benefits and the value.
Of this melatonin this kind of melatonin you're not gonna developed a dependence on okay.
A lot of patience tell me oh yeah i've tried melatonin before doesn't work.
This is different it's not a pill that you swallow this is actually something that you spray and has delivery right into your bloodstream immediately so let's move along to never time for today alright.
This is a fantastic herbal medicine for just helping the person that's always worrying and always anxious okay or are they just have so much stress so much ups and downs that they need,
to have a more even keel emotional state and that's for never time for take comes in.

[20:56] Not only that it is a great age pa access modulator like we talked about earlier it can help calm your nerves support digestion and use the effects of.
Occasional stress the blend of herbs were talking about in this combination are st john's wart shes andrew and skull cap and saffron.
And they provide a wide range of federal chemicals that really help to like i said calm the nerve support digestion is a great liver tonic.
And again we're all about trying to balance the levels of stress the balance between the pair sympathetic.
And the sympathetic nervous system okay like i said earlier provides great support and maintenance of the liver these herbs are better okay,
many people have forgotten what the taste of bitterness.
Is supposed to be like because all over food everything all over juice everything is so sweet all right so here we are rounding out the family wellness toolbox are the twice daily essential pack so everyone.
This is a great solution and this is a cost this is convenient and cost effective solution for so many families you know the,
entrepreneur's the parents to professionals they're on the go on the run they know that they should be taking a multivitamin they know that they should be taking fish oil then realize the importance of calcium and magnesium but they don't have the time.
To put all that together and take it with them on the go so that's where the convenience comes in with the twice daily essential packs and again this is also cost effective because now you're only purchasing one.

[22:35] Products or nutritional medicine here you're not purchasing three or four and having all the cost of that so.
I instruct my patients to take one of these in the morning with their breakfast and take one at dinner,
or if they're on the go they can just grab them and take them with them on the go so just to summarize here the family wellness toolbox we have our tools on the left.
We have these eight nutritional remedies and a multi vitamin support along with all of their applications.
Rodeo engine seemed to support our original system so radiator optimize vitamin d levels and strengthen our immune and skeletal systems.

[23:14] Or the biotic to help replenish our micro bio sandwich all for sinus congestion and unit and more challenges.

[23:45] Alright so now you may be thinking alright so the family wellness toolbox is pretty awesome so how can how does this relate with chiropractic and how can my chiropractor help.
Of going back to school many of my patients already know but the spine profoundly impacts the central nervous system for healing.
As you can see in this diagram all over organs glands and tissues are innovated by nerves that trace back to the spinal cord.

[24:13] By adjusting the vertebral around the spinal cord we can specifically and significantly improve and restore the function of two issues that aren't working like they should be.
So include chiropractic adjustments for you and your family as part of your health and wellness lifestyle.

[24:31] Chiropractic adjustments are also perfect for kids recovering.
From playground injuries or sport injuries so i hear this all the time my kids are bound to injure themselves on the playground or on their sports team how can typewriter justin's help.

you know you're sharing part of your story with me and that's honestly one of the reasons why i wanted to bring you on the podcast are you do you have this compelling story.
And i just wanted you to go ahead and just walk us through that share with us your experiences and the changes you made and things that you did to kinda take you where you are.
I'm with health coaching today alright so.
So when i was younger she used to be very skinny i was actually a very picky eater and that.
Second grade i discovered food but then i think i like the other extreme ate too much and i started getting some weight not alot i have just enough for a little potbelly and then.
Time went on they be waking just kept coming on and it and i have had it gets to my weight gain but.
Basically was more or less than project rave from your through elementary school throughout middle school and high school and assembly that generation where like a snack was like.
In medium size bag of hot cheetos and a bottle of a sixteen ounce bottle of coca-cola like that was mice and high school and.
Yeah i mean i was active two hours on seventeen i was a water polo i was.

[7:37] In orchestra and i was in the newspaper as energy for my newspaper stop sorry i was like so busy and high school running around after all these things that in the weight just kept coming in at the same time.
I hate you i made friends with the boys but i was never.

[7:58] I never had too much luck with dating guys.
I am a sisterly figure per say as he said i was very much alike side by an email like you think that i can definitely relate to the guys in high school with.
But into the dating app that i got to the point where.
No i was asking me out and i honestly thought that you have to be skinny and the skinny girl to get nice guys even get to ask you out.
So not really we make confident and i really honestly believe that like i thought like.
Okay if i just get down to the certain way to that perfect guy is gonna come to the door and he's gonna notice me and have lived with.

[8:49] My heating and.

[8:52] Can you order college me i became more comfortable with myself but then you know again like its at the freshman fifteen continue and then leaking could you and then but age twenty four.
I will reach my peak at two hundred three pounds and i was diagnosed with fatty liver the non alcoholic kind.
And i actually remember going in for my first liver biopsy.
And is it scary because i i didn't want to my parents cuz i was kind of ashamed and.
So i basically when in alone and my friend my friend is gonna pick me up and i remember the doctor having to do the ultrasound of my liver before she stuck the needle in for the biopsy and.
And she pointed to the screen to sell you see how white that is that yeah that's all about your liver and i got the age of twenty four that.

[9:46] Gosh like i thought this kind of stuff can happen till lease is as gonna be at least forty.
If it really i buy i think i have a couple tickets before this caught up with me but inevitably it didn't.
And is it in every dead and it just it was just one of those things where i was very hard on myself.

[10:11] And eventually the hot is kinda move on and it's kind of like being monitored by a my regular medical doctors are headed to international pack coming to just kinda.
You'll get her in play as i got some supplement and julie said about the greens and.
So i was going on and then the same time that got when in my life like you know i'm ready for a relationship that will.
Be sustainable someone that will love me for me.
And it was cuz i was also introvert is also very shy anything outside watching a movie with friends like i didn't.

[10:54] That will that no social activities outside of that so i signed up for an online dating site.
And three months later i was not superman and we gotta fight the year we.
Go home after that and we have been married now for almost five years.
And again congratulations believe in god eight years and does that mean i met him i was still two hundred three pounds.
I mean i may have.
And he still love me and i don't have to be skinny and reset my mindset like i don't like i honestly like.

[11:36] That was really a believe that i got was the truth back in high school and into college and the moments that we found love like.
That really does know kinda just threw me outside the box that was in and made me realize like you know what like.

[11:56] No that's not my true like its not its first or not not my trip so i sedan.
When i met him not only like things are improve like a like your she wants them what time it.
And so like i i we went hiking because that was.
But we want hiking on a date me like walk to light because he like to walk just like have conversations so that just you and then if he had a membership that i was the one time you let's go.
Go to the gym together so we dead and at eleven miles to my own like.
May like due diligence in studying for nutrition because like at the okay what's car versus a whole grain and like you know how many.
How can i make a pillar veggies into my diet says doing on the side to an addition that like you know it i started to sleep earlier like is it like it's in the night with my friends my friends were all night owls.
And and still wake up at like six in the morning the next day for pro work.
Or classes so then i entered i started going to bed at like nine or ten o'clock instead.
So no sleeping or moving more taking care of myself more and feeling happier and then even when trying to look for six months of knowing my husband the man that with my husband i lost ten house without even trying.

[13:30] So what so just like.
My wife is a testament that when you find that one thing to like shake your mindset to really say that taking care of yourself is worth it.
Are you thinking like this fall into place that yes so can the physical stuff to.

[13:50] Absolutely will amy i really appreciate your levels on their ability here i think that's what people are really looking for what they resonate with most and i just think it's it's such a compelling story and you're honestly not alone i mean.
You're definitely someone who is you know comparable with sharing their story and comfortable with you now putting yourself out there which i really appreciate but here's the thing i really feel like there are tons of people out there listening.
Who can identify exactly with what you're experiencing it may not be nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and made it may be something related to,
you know access weight or anything like that or even mention those emotional components related to dating or relationships,
but honestly i think there's a lot of people out there who can relate with exactly what you're experiencing in describing and i think you have inspirational story in the sense that you can overcome those things you know you don't have to be defined by what you are saying,
your identity doesn't have to come from you know your relationships or from how much you weigh or are you now different things like that so,
i guess i just kinda wanna circle back during that time when you were a little bit younger and you were getting this diagnosis of you now non-alcoholic fatty liver disease how did you feel during that time like we,
was was it scary for you did you feel on kinda talk us through that well first of.
It was kinda like a little armadillo frustration because my doctor so my triglycerides are so high despite my class are going down.

[15:23] And so we had it but the doctors say hey like we need to come in to do another blood test to double check.
Yeah yes to tv level is didn't actually tell me what it was at first is seventy double check that.
And now i went in a few times double check with my blood and it was a lot of back and forth to the irs frustration there and if i gain the diagnosis and not really know that meant.
And then having to be refer to get a liver biopsy and then c and liver specialist was it was.
It is kind of mind blowing and i just couldn't even.

[16:02] Like comprehend that this was actually happening and in the same time like i also need like a.
Cannot believe i did this to myself and i am not see thought i had time on my side and it still only says you sent in i had other friends who are your just as young and the other slightly younger.
And they were doing the exact same thing but they are in have access weight in had the liver disease they don't have to make as far seeing as far as the they told me.
They the doctors are like oh you like the bill of health and there's a little party at the.
Right wish i was you the other level of the jealousy that is also emotions going on so.

[16:52] Oh yeah the reason i go there is just because i think a lot of people kinda discredit or downplay,
narrow emotional state are psycho somatic functioning and how that plays such a critical role in our health actually of listeners are curious to learn more about this,
you can actually go back to michigan family wellness episode twenty two i believe where we discuss the prevalence of body dysmorphic disorder and i'm not saying that any experience that herself,
you know when you're bombarded by the media and just our culture society where women's wastes have to be a certain shade and body has to look like this and i'm leaving go for men as well you know there's more research to show that men are experiencing this where,
you know you need to have this huge muscles are have this you know the specific chisel jar things like this and then they look at themselves in the mirror and they don't see that,
and that can create these this function on these honestly,
oftentimes irrational thoughts and you know reflexes that you know just because you don't look like the people on tv doesn't mean that you're less valuable or your identity doesn't have to come from that so that's why.
Just once i get a little bit more inside there and see your experiences i like the way you phrased on your website actually if you gotta.
In his website which show tells about later but if you read the about her section she says messed up big time and two young for this can you tell us more about that me.
Yeah i know it is saying it was just i felt like now i have no one else to blame but myself.

[18:29] And because they also re hire a lower value self-worth and my confidence.

[18:39] No going with it till you i just be myself at the time and.
I honestly felt like you know i was having kind of a breakdown and is doing slow motion and because i hate.

[18:55] Do i tell my family because i don't wanna worry them yeah i made myself even more alone and more lullaby needed to and i did tell some friends only like it's like you.
And because there's a little bit ashamed there to cuz i was always at as if admitting i had a problem.
Me and what the problem releases were just admitting that you're this was something that i need to correct.

[19:25] You know what the doctors also told me that you can maybe get over it.
Like it was member never liking me for circuit over there was a smell like again it was always kinda just like well you know you need to lose weight and no not really get to really get over it whatever.
Set it to the doctors with me i appreciate the medical help i did get a bloody did monitor me when i did it was also just like and i need that support.
And because i was kind of will that she my kind of limited support i could've had an because i.
Cuz to say out loud to other friends and family.

[20:12] Made it even more real right likely story continued on that.

[20:20] After losing another twenty thousand more hard work on my and my liver level but my liver levels are completely back to normal.
Amazon is yeah and i will continue to live in the house over the next few years and i.
That should last sixty two house or five years of or like lot slow dietary lifestyle changes and not the bath but it was the most sustainable one.
Let me but it still impact finding it so significant i mean one of the people that i like to read a gym county talks about you know the flywheel and allergy where,
essentially it can be very difficult to get something started but essentially once you do get.
Something started and you work on at weather be weight loss or a relationship or career and your diligence and your consistent in your concurrent with that.
Essentially overtime that metaphorical flywheel begins to spin a little faster a little faster,
and then before you know it you barely have to touch the thing and it's already moving and a nice consistent well-oiled machine essentially just used analogy there now,
you mentioned naturopathic know you had senior not naturopathic doctor and you are working with some outlet park acid to help with your liver,
what other things did you do did you try the chiropractor it was a part of your health journey at all did you see an acupuncturist was it just a naturopathic or was it a collaboration of different things that really played a role in your health journey,
so yes i did you have to pack and so in addition to the green supplement.

[21:55] And after that look at the initials you gave me i detect contractor can't i did i got a car accident when i was eighteen years old what a terrible cracks.
But it was enough to give me whiplash and i didn't because i did not my spine was not hitting a nerve i didn't even notice this whiplash was there until.
I started realizing that when i light was walking a straight line with people next to me that i knew that i was running into them they didn't realize does not walking a straight line.
Yes then i went to the chiropractor they didn't extremely found out yeah i'm at that was out of.
Play so then everything and i've been seeing a chiropractor like.
Yeah i think it start up like once a week and and then it was like once every few weeks now smh every once every few months.
It has totally helped me with my moving to make sure that you and my workout that i am able to have a full range of movement and that it even wanna go to work i'll let down the gas for something like.

[22:57] I really just is that i consider taller my question is good so i definitely like deathly the significant of a contract in my life is in great.

[23:09] What is this link urging hearing obviously being a chiropractor i can't advocate enough for just the importance of having a well adjusted.
Central nervous system so you mention you know getting those just maintenance wellness care,
you know once every couple months or something like that you're going to experience no benefits and value from that long term better just gonna be so impactful doing that preventive type,
care is really essential for not only people recovering from,
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease but for anyone really just trying to elevate their own health or either family wellness now,
would you say me there there was like a specific turning point where you decided you know hey i wanna get and health coaching i want to become a certified health coach,
maybe tell us what that point was and then what you kinda went through to achieve that certification okay so after i lost the city of house.
In other my five year journey.
And you know it seem like i had a lot of great things going in my life and i have a husband who loved me.
I had the time i had only one dog not having children quite yet that we were always on the horizon and there is a party that was making a lot like.
I went through all this and if you like it needs to come to fruition somehow in that you know at.
Like my experience could be used to help others and so i discovered the institute for integrative nutrition because i got my health coaching certification.

[24:41] And i'm.
Yeah i was a one year program it was really great hot you and it is not there either tight you coaching even tell you some business practices.
So the when your program and.
And yeah after i do there happen to be that i got pregnant with my daughter during the program and give birth to her since the program so they all got really well so yeah that's not abc have certification,
it's about holistic health coaching edition i also have a certification in personal training on the national academy of sports medicine.

[25:21] Okay fantastic yeah so do you you don't combine sort of health coaching in your incorporate some of that personal training recommendations in there as well idea,
especially since i feel like exercise and nutrition go together a lot and i really felt like i needed to really hone in on my knowledge for exercise because.
I feel like there's so integrated nutrition they i i felt like i could and.
I can be of help cuz i didn't have that component of the lot how could you that don't actually graces fla for me what i need to go with.
Helping my clients i needed to have that exercise knowledge to.

[25:59] So you have this unique perspective you have not only the experiences of you know a chronic health condition that you've recovered from that and you also.
Pair that with you now your unique perspective your level of training your certification that you can then provide to people who might be going through something similar,
my question for me is what is coaching with you look like to i have to be in california do i have to be in your area or can i work with you remotely if i live here in michigan how does that work.
I am so i am like it is completely on line.
So yeah we can totally could you add me looks like skype sessions every week.
It looks like a email support and it looks like just that i'm basically there with you but virtually,
fantastic so basically take me through the process essentially is there like an initial assessment and are we making food and nutritional recommendations are you essentially just,
making recommendations and the and the sense of not clean your again it or you specifically saying okay i want to go to the store.
And i want to buy this this and this like getting that detailed or was that look like so many part of my health coaching program it it advocate and eventuality where,
one man is another man's ways and so i can use after started to kinda cheap that would make my day.

[27:25] Everyone is different everyone is at a different level and everyone had like the dietary requirements so sometimes when it's someone who.

[27:34] You may not never cut themselves and i have to say hey so i need you to look at these stores in your area.
I need you to look at to see if they have any of these ingredients for this recipe i want you to try.
I'm trying to just make it be pretty easy like baby status i type like.

[27:59] Try it says whether tried ss interest variances and tried to just.
Make it as easy as possible that for them like in a make very very small that buried in very small adjust.
I typically like to look at what baby in the last few days just to kinda get so i get a sense of like you know where the printing a body.
And just like just can't make it more like a conversation when i first meet them just cuz i me people are more than just meal plans.
And sometime sneezing italian they say things that they don't realize they're feeling so i just tried evaluate who they are the person.
Fantastic i love that personalized approach that you just describe their you mention things like bio individuality baby steps you know those are just such key.
Critical components in my opinion for any kind of successful in changes whether that be to your lifestyle or your died your nutrition so i,
i can't say enough about we know what amy is able to do as a certified health coach so me the next thing i have for you is basically are there any practical applications are there any self care techniques maybe like your top one or three things that people could start doing right now,
as a result of listening to the episode here so one thing i really love to do every day i stretch before going to bed.

[29:33] At that like twenty min i take twenty minutes before i go to that i can i feel like i actually sleep better.
Belly so i recommend if you can try to stretch like ten to twenty mins for you that i got my it doesn't have to go and doesn't have to be anything agendas could do i get dizzy just simple like.
Hamstring like instructions this something where you are just loose enough to just fall right.
When you get to bed and so that's once had another ten is.
An easy way to cut out excess sugars calories in calories adjusted not drink soda anymore remember that my husband.
Hey when i was at my heaviest he he wanted to challenge yourself so he decided to not drinking soda as i didn't have and i was so amazed that like.
As abel is a couple pounds no problem just by doing that once a little change.
And so yeah just trying to me and even then like i understand soda addiction and i understand like sometimes i do crave the carbonation.
So i totally get it so it is what the things were.
You know you have to transition is difficult going cold turkey that's totally fine you can either drink less soda and drink more water or drink.
Warm water and you can like maybe try drinking less and then and try.
Carbonated are mineral water in addition got something that will help you ease into it i understand how how much does eviction can take a hold of you that you need to take baby steps steps of better me better drink.

[31:14] Like one cup of water and two sodas a day rather than no water at all.
So the advocate like you know whatever babysitting you take do it cuz i'm not here to hard on you if.
If you can't go cold turkey because i couldn't go cold turkey right side when i don't expect that of my clients.
Right and i think that makes you a good a good coach because you know any good coach in my opinion is going to be someone that you know practices what they preach now so if i'm gonna tell someone you know to do some at home exercises to help with the lower back pain.
You know in collaboration with their chiropractic adjustments.
I'm definitely gonna make sure that i'm doing the same exercises just for maintenance and good spinal care me mention stretching before bed i love doing that myself in just a kind of release some of those fossil adhesions.
You know just from our sedentary lifestyles and i'm even if you are active now after driving around use your still sitting in your car that's not a good way to.
You know i really move around in your car so your still getting a little bit of those restrictions just from the setting that you essentially have to do.
So i love the way you meant through and the hydration component in there as well you know getting rid of the soda getting rid of the excess sugars,
and i'm like you said baby stepping off that not trying to go cold turkey do me do you have any other resources that you would like to quit our listeners with.
To elevate their family once i know you have a couple on your website but is there anything that really stands out and in your experiences that may be help to you.

[32:48] So for me i'm member.
Use an on-line digital to kinda like a very and i really need amp up my my weight loss to so i can see what i was.
In what i was eating and i know its scary i didn't say do not do it for the first three three of the five years i lost weight on.
Actually yes i lost over three tablet human internally my food.
But eventually got to play it was okay now i just need to get down to writing it all down so i think that's an app.
Or an online site like i would actually like right down what you eating so that way you know like it is right in your face.
To the very easy just be like you know it's.
