BK because he is always teaching the people around him he's a really impactful leader.

how's the mission vision and values of power performance gym by listening to episode two with ben app and coach dan.

So i can't wait to jump into today's discussion on how the training coaching nutritional pearls and mindset mentoring.

Can you help the woman mothers and families to elevate the health and wellness

that being said we do have two questions that we always ask god share on the podcast i've just hold your family is a little bit about you is the professional but one of the core values hear on the podcast his family so tell us more about you as the person and what does family look like for you

well i'm i really appreciate the introduction to think that i am surrounded by people who i learn a daily basis is amazing.

Will you ask me about what does family mean to me well um you kind of mentioned it so family is not only the literal family i my husband's father.

My husband to renee and not bother to sofia i'm a family is also extends to family to me is its about people.

[3:33] I'm a like minded people that embrace on one another's possessions people that are encouraged and we feed off one another so,

i'm gonna that even what you do for a living and your expertise and the fact that we work simultaneously towards one common goal.

[3:53] What is the help people that is what family means to me so i mean i got somebody would do just about anything for all my clients are definitely on that list so.

I believe on your performance jam it's help me create a extended families from.

[4:11] Outstanding you know that i do say this is every episode of the podcast usually later at the end but i'm gonna go ahead and say here now because it does just resonate with everything that you're saying and that is.

We can do far more together than we could ever do apart and i just really wanna drive that home and under square that's another thing i love to say here on the podcast band is that we are smitten with the middle so i always ask my gas.

She what they love about michigan well i mean i think we all agree that we love doing what they refer to as the four seasons i think we get more of three of them so i'm okay i'm a humble,

i'll take the three season self i'm i definitely loved a variety of outdoor activities and other destinations that michigan offers and i have to embarrassingly admit i'm dr kyle that.

This number was the first time i visited london getting to in michigan and i'm sorry my half my heart is still there i mean what,

i just want an amazing community what an amazing vibrations that don't know the local businesses have been in what u t.

That's really given to us and it's just i mean assistant couple of hours up the road so i'm every time i seem to visit a different location.

[5:29] I'm up michigan i get it i got more smitten every time so i think my arm my love for michigan,

i mean i guess as i age and as you know my values change as again spending quality time and with the family and with friends and.

I meant and what a great state job to offer a lot of opportunities for fern i just activities but for i just reviewed

fantastic ben and i love him mention letting sunday and just cycling back to what you said earlier about you know the seasons the seasons change i think the joke with you know people out in california for example is that it's so terrible seventy two degrees and sunny all year round and sell,

i do appreciate that along with you that a variety that we have that diversity of temperature in all the different colors that we get so i'm right with you there

now all right then let's go ahead and get more in depth because i really want the women mothers and families listening,

get value from your experiences your expertise and unique prospective,

so like i said at the top i really want people to refer back to episode two and i'm gonna go ahead and drop a link in the show notes for everyone so you have the full version discussion,

in the mission vision and values of power performance gym i'm gonna send you guys back to episode two but ben can you right now just give us a short recap on those principles.

[6:54] As a foundation and then we can build our conversation from there to do my best to me you know why i went into business for myself i guess to look that today.

[7:04] I have to refer to it more of a cali you know that you don't know why you're always called to duty if you well.

I'm so again people who are motivated by helping people change lives i think they're all including yourself when we understand that calling and we don't always know why.

Maybe i started my business for just that just to start a business to do something on my own maybe it was a bad idea i'm not sure.

What did honestly has just taken out a life of its own and its something that i no longer have a choice of whether or not to participate in a it's more of a moral duty.

I'm very thankful that it duty that i love it's helping people and a variety of different ways.

And whatever success means to them what you know it's not from me to find success for the people around me i just help people feel successful,

i'm in your daily endeavors and so i'm i just can't really think of any other way to try to,

create a call to meet a business then.

Through helping others and so it some it's just been a pleasure we'll get the different business aspect semantics change the shape shift all the time and that's the difference between business and passion.

I'm but i been very important to hold the two together that performance gross i just mean that we're helping people on a deeper level so i.

[8:27] I think it's where i hate my hair

you know when you bring up such great points and i really wanna just highlight this line of thinking because i really believe that relates to what you're talking about here in terms of your approach with performance your culture at the company with the gym

and search if this idea is this perspective of the final.

And the infinite game not ok so i talked about this before and the podcast but let me outline again for listeners let's use the example of microsoft and apple okay i think most people are familiar with those are major companies but the idea is that.

When you look at the culture of microsoft okay they have a drawing be.

[9:08] Drive to harvard we beat apple you know that is the core or motivation of that company how can i forget people say is that i visit the company and not just cannot analyze it from three thousand five using all of that now.

I'm the opposite end of the spectrum you have a company like apple

and the focus with apple they're playing the infinite game so if microsoft is playing the finite game apple was playing a completely different game because what their focus is

yes how to help teachers or how do we help a specific group of

people unnatural and drive home his with performance with your coaching it's not about

man do we have enough squat racks already know do we have enough phone rollers or god we need this that was started how do we help.

[9:57] The people i love her that's the focus and i love that the culture i just feel perfect like i said to be around that culture on a daily basis would you agree with that one hundred percent i assumed that's why you when i enter

add we are working together we talked about before how to buy the tracks that tried so,

i no longer ask why the people that are in my life in my life i'm just thankful for them and is soon.

Did the purpose for it so i wanna know i wanna be willing to except whatever they're bringing to me and i hope that they are just as open as what i can bring to them so it's a it's.

Mutually rewarding it's almost been a mutual mentor ship

absolutely now been just kinda give us a general overview of how you got to where you are now and how does that translate or convert to working with the people that you're working with today help is being thanks

i can probably guarantee corporate industry.

[10:51] I'm headed my whole life played out for me i don't know what use call it stupidity or again so not really sure what i decided to leave the conference in the guarantees of the corporate world to i'm gonna start my own business and i'm.

Thankful that landed and nutrition i dont know why i didn't and so i'm it's just basically creating a certain value on that was built around service you know maybe i was,

i'm not focused on service maybe for a lack of knowledge maybe i was focused on this service and service as i can,

trending create security again so you can kind of help streamline your income for months to come.

But it just how i go about my day hes just now and again to the apprehension but i am.

I said has to be ima call in an ask to be doing well.

[11:42] Now take my arrogance to believe in the guaranteed lighting and how that converted into one hundred create a high level service but.

It's been through the service to other people and did i mention that has come back to me when i go what people have referred to as out of my way to church to get the best value that i can in whatever the situation is.

That's always seems to come back to me that always seems a little better thank you weather it's a hard weather is just seeing on the value of your product in peoples development.

I'm it just continues to motivate me ion one how much further can we go how much more can we do so i don't know that i've been particularly specialized in any aspect of the field but i believe.

My specialties do you live is in my willingness to do whatever it takes.

[12:30] It's my willingness to figure out whatever it takes and i reminded my clients i don't have to be the smartest person in the room i distinctly had to be resourceful and.

Through the contacts or of the education that we had where can i find those answer so i love being challenged with ummm new challenge.

Things i don't know any give me the opportunity to learn opportunity to apply the information and opportunity to see the room out every once.

Outstanding ben and again just to approach this conversation in the discussion we're having from the perspective of our listeners so let's say you know i haven't been satisfied with going in doing my daily thing at the planet fitness i was doing cross word for awhile off the cross fit gyms in i got injured can you tell me what makes

power performance different can you tell me what makes training with ben napping different really outline that far less nervous i think it would probably be better set of one of my clients answer that but since none of them here lol do my bas i want

i would really love to hear how bobby my articulate that but,

if i had to describe it on my own i believe from what makes us special is our needs based approach to human development so.

Yeah someone to leave another maybe they you know if it was entertaining enough for them you had mentioned maybe somebody got hurt.

[13:52] It always comes back to the question why you know why is this important to you,

why is working out important why is managing your pain important you because.

As much as i believe in my principles i have to be willing and open to understand.

[14:12] Their value system what makes things important to that one thing i take great pride in is.

Not been conditioned to associate me what person gets started i refer to it as i want.

Why does somebody wants into a new diet like to submit a launch into a new training program.

[14:31] What i tried to do as i tried to again b very thankful for the opportunity to work with a person be very open to their reasons why.

[14:39] Remind me to remind myself all the time diff or performance jim hasn't done their job.

[14:46] I will it helps shape shift their mind into adjusting value system in their why maybe

do you know why cuz it's only about weight loss and get that very common thing for people write in but you can only go so far and your day to day rituals are in your day-to-day expectations of,

i'm doing better and being more so weight loss can be amazing lunch.

[15:14] I want to help them get a little bit hey guys just wanted to take a moment and remind you that this podcast is brought to you by the michigan family womens clinic.

We believe in healthy environment families who can adapt to the stress in their life in order to build healthy family we start by caring for one person at a time if this message resonate with you,

can i invite you to schedule an online appointment at michigan family wellness dot com and if you're enjoying today's episode

go ahead and share this podcast with someone else who can benefit from today's empowering conversation alright guys lets get back to today's episode.

[15:52] Sure why to day maybe one think and are why i'm six months from now maybe it'll be different so i can help shape shift that process into creating a deeper meaning.

N ben and then helping down again be a better resource for the people in their life i think i think that maybe what makes.

Fantastic baby no this discussion is getting a little profound and i love that and like i said you know just being around just being within ear shot of ben you gotta learn something right

so let me try to say a little differently exactly what you're saying and correct me if i'm wrong but let's go with that weight loss example it's.

[16:27] It's the problem of the problem or it's like you're trying to help people focus on.

Not necessarily the weight loss but what they can gain what they can benefit from accomplishing that.

Weight loss of example it is the hope in losing the weight itself or is it really more about something deeper weather is spending more time with their family or contributing more to the world around them or just being a better partner spouse is that we are staying hundred percent

i want a percentage that i call patrick where you feel one cup i want to continue to feel that cock i need that to start feeling the cavs blow it so,

i'm exercises it has been an amazing resource to help people build of field many different cops again love and self respect and creating a better image of themselves and how that carries over

and two the work place into the family into the relationship into

being a better mother father a more understanding neighbor maybe less aggressive driver so it's been awesome seeing how exercise does transform people in many ways,

and again i tell this to my patients all the time but.

[17:35] Your health is your greatest asset it's not and how much you have in the bank it's not and how much you have in material things.

When you can take care of yourself when you have your health then like you said you can be there for your kids you can be there for your family you can be that better partner and spouse.

And you can be more productive at work your body is able to function with or talk about people who can't sleep don't have a good

paris sympathetic nervous system

don't necessarily go to the bathroom every day another just so constipated on plugged up and we can talk all day long about the health issues and the necessity of our society and our culture today but here's the thing ben

weather it's exercise whether it's chiropractic acupuncture massage therapy there are all these great conservative natural alternatives things that we can do.

And i really think i'm going again back to the culture and overall performance i really think that's where you go shine.

And i really think that's where people can just experience something different experience.

Personal attention to that you mention that the human component and so again i want to be very clear for a lesson or if you know it's not just to focus on,

the training and we talk a lot about the exercise part of it and no working out in the benefits and value of all that.

[18:54] Real quick i do wanna touch on there is the nutrition component that you are very involved with and there steve

mine second am entering component that you really involve can you walk us through those two things really quick great i think hand in hand a mindset can carry over to

you can apply that to any scenario so real talk about mind set with nutrition i gonna try to simplify it.

If people are coming here to remove better i just remind them of well certain types of foods cause certain amount of information that prevent,

no fluid movement so if i'm a candidate about the exercises initially i can disable these foods are bad for us because their preventing fluid movement during training.

And maybe that will then take on a life of its own because you know as well as i do the minute you start removing certain foods like breads and sugar.

I dont really have to tell people why they dont need to eat breads and sugars anymore to take out a life of its own,

go back to those foods after taking a certain amount of time off it's never it's never the way you remember that so anyway that i can you can put the lack of a better term trick people.

Not eating a little cleaner i think i think it was just to take out a life of its own and so were that maybe kind.

[20:07] I called and i'm like i get it you know so people start to create those moments in their own and then i can send you another another leg of nutrition so now that i have your undivided attention and can appreciate

is simplicity and just got married and sugar intake and monitoring bread and pasta intake i believe that i had the full attention.

Weather full attention i got better education comes in we can start explaining to them how to get better digestion how to achieve better nights sleep how to have.

Better balance energy so i use what ever drop off when i need to to get them eating cleaner,

i'm not everybody's ready to accept responsibility for holiday eat in halifax there body and the status of the body and the mechanism inside the body.

So even if i have to divert attention over two.

Again just getting better workout it will it will it will start to manifest itself into healthier habits i mean i dont need

awesome i just love the value land down for the listeners here and in terms of really getting an idea of the impact that,

working at the power performance gym can have and i wanna keep this person optimus but i'm thinking of a young lady and i think you might know who it is but can you just kinda talk is through.

[21:31] Her story because yes there was a major weight loss component there but for a listeners just so that he can get an idea of exactly what you're talking about what were discussing here on the podcast.

Can you just gonna walk us through her story and then it became more than just the weight loss i'm so glad you brought that up it really happening it is.

Just awesome story in a very simple um um she's a professional and she was you were talking to her,

she was approximately one hundred twenty five pounds over her ideal weight right so um.

[22:04] Would i can appreciate when somebody is that overweight know that the workings of the mind and the body connection

there not communicating very well so it's very easy for somebody to second guess their motivation and second guess their career because they're just not functioning

i'm help you know sell i'm she was no different so if she believed if i lose weight.

[22:30] I'm gonna get to that i will get to that number and my life is just gonna be laid out for me and everything's gonna happen exactly the way i envisioned it so i got i'd mention a launch point.

I don't believe you no i'm willing to pay if this is how we get starded let's get started what i found so awesome kyle.

Is there a fast forward to the hundred pounds.

We've become very good friends and through this journey and that's one thing we take off alot of pride in here with my refer to people as clients but these people are my friends no ma'am sir thank.

[23:02] About to go back to the boat to the store and she was at my house and we're just having a small gathering at the house.

What was interesting is her professional attitude and her in almost a distant shipment with her profession what are the exchange.

[23:17] Everything was the same and so she got a little angry with me kisses oh my gosh you're still a hundred pounds overweight.

And heard hello can you tell him the floor not use the spreadsheet and i'll leave italy and that moment she knew that i was going somewhere.

I said i said what is this just reminds us that you didn't have all unnecessary weight loss if she like you sign as.

A big black for your personal development but.

[23:49] If you don't again if you don't start to change the other things about your life if we don't again if we don't improve are attitude we don't improve,

the way we go about our days at four not looking to except certain responsibilities or maybe to places that we put ourselves then it doesn't matter if.

Order pump three hundred pounds two hundred pounds they're still had his change that wasn't necessary and that really just started.

Stream lining a complete change in focus where she was looking at what how do i spend my days how am i sleeping better how am i focus on meal tiny and nutrition portion control.

And so when the weight loss was gone.

Just start focusing on those rather ask you like a self discovery that i don't think i'm still awaiting my mind i still see that same person in the mirror that was slightly overweight so it shifted my responsibility from coach,

and weight loss into hey.

[24:47] You're great you're amazing this should prove to you that you can accomplish anything that you want and it just not the transformation one inch,

i got her how you lived your day is that the value system that she had in re approach and she has a launch back in her career i mean absolutely bolt in,

and she is just taking off on time.

[25:11] Just running away with her dreams and her goals in her new goal setting and just what i would the awesome discovery.

Weight loss get her to and she now.

Love yourself more if she appreciates the people in her life more she takes responsibility for the things she needs two and a true.

Change has manifest did the original goal to just lose weight and not spend nights been awesome to be apart of.

[25:41] Fantastic and i really appreciate you sharing that story i think the listeners are gonna benefit from you sharing that into me as i was listening to you it almost sounds like there was a change and where did she place her identity you know it's her identity in the physical body or is it

in the weightloss result in this pursuit.

All the weight loss you know where is that person actually holding their identity hundred percent understand and that's where it goes back when you said what i don't know what people need and so that square

when i wake up every day and when i asked god the world for gifts and two mifi ask if simply to get me the words give me the knowledge give me the understanding

i help someone push through whatever barrier on their it dept if there are experiencing today and so she actually helps me

i can't become a better leader become a better coach because i realize that this was so much more than you have realized before her

but it was a great reminder like this industry is much more

lifting dumb bells and having breakfast all those things are important but there is so much more work.

[26:50] Alright then the purpose of the michigan family womens podcasts is to be an audio library resources for the women mothers and families listening who want to learn more about celebrating their family wellness

and increasing their resiliency or that strength to adapt to the strengths and challenges in their life,

what are the ways we can push this is by asking i guess for practical applications

so what kinda women moms and families listening today start doing right now as a result of hearing your voice to elevate their health and family room on the simple if you are not really sure where to start

well then contact dr tyler contract with redone be powered impact i think it really

it can just start with a value system of creating maybe a list maybe right down what what is important to me and began trying to really break down and look at why why don't

what is it i want why is that important to me so i dont know that i necessarily answer your question because it's really open ended where some people need to practice maybe eating breakfast better in some people need to

your practice let me know.

It would be hard for me to tell her audience you need to start here but i think i just want people to be open minded to the fact that you don't have to have everything figured out you dont have to pretend to know what all i think god

the biggest gainer the people make it one day except.

[28:18] The fact that they don't have all of the answers in that's where people like myself and people like you can come in and we can help people

kind of holding shit this new priorities and get them action steps to start applying to like today then tomorrow and then you just hope it manifest you open grows into it blossoms in the something.

Much greater sell on the take away points would be its okay to be unsure its ok do not have everything,

figured out so im just gonna reach out to those special places i can help you create a new you

that's only that and i love just you focus on your right it is all about that journey and so you mentioned earlier having lunch points having starting points that's fantastic it doesn't necessarily matter how that looks for you weather it's you know like you mentioned in episode two really adding on

hydration focusing on not or whether it's focusing on breakfast meeting throughout the rest of the day

healthy snacking i mean there's so many different things you can do but again like you said it goes back to the journey the experience for you and when you're when you're committed.

That's what you're gonna get traction that's when you're gonna get that fly wheel,

where is it does become part of your lifestyle and then it just becomes automatic nothing are there any other resources that you connect with today is a great question i have been asked first of all in a very basic.

[29:40] Kinda google search no one website that has just been great for me is www dot merch olá dot com dr cola and i know you know him he's just.

The sky has assembled this awesome collection of articles and videos and did you know there is an.

Food invites and bought cindy has an easement just.

He has been such an amazing resource for really easy and people building business as far is just a really basic like im looking for someone with very simple information on how to deal with the head colder how to deal with,

back pain maybe some simple like arthritis or some simple i'm what i purchased man made diseases what a great a great resource.

I also like to think that family wellness i was also would also be our website and people that i would contact where people that are looking for a new i'm also i gotta do not sure what to google.

I'm using a place performance jam could be in and start points for that so i think i would be i am actually places to startup.

That really it was really interesting to me because i no no more dr place in my life there was a book that i was able to read but then i picked up a couple of years later and i just got.

[31:00] Leader without a title it was written by robin sharma just bought.

Was built around them different cables are different stories and what the book alternately talked about his greatness is a choice.

[31:14] So regardless of whether you're a janitor or a CEO.

That's great and your day to do the job to do your job as best you can with them with a task given talents that u have.

And how the world takes notice and how the world will recognize your efforts will recognize your enthusiasm,

i am for greatness and how and how the world is universally designed to reward those people,

that regardless of your title regardless,

who you think you are just wake up every day put two feet on the floor and say i'm going to make today a great day amin how bad.

[31:57] Rosanna something greater depths of feeling me.

For me i'm really helped i had a profound is changing and really about the person that i saw in the mirror i'm gonna have used.

[32:09] The story lines in it many many times from them just tell people that,

i can we don't have to have it figured out today we will be the sum of our behavior we will be the sum of our thoughts we will be that some of our actions so we can start now and shipping not scale into the more positive into the more forward thinking,

and the more community based thought process i'm that i just cant wait to see what the some of those daily behavior amount to for people i'm later on in their life so i really young i got alot.

Home is where the heart is so,

The Mitten for sure so damn go ahead and get more in-depth because I really want the women mothers and families listening to today's episode.

To get value from your experiences your expertise and your.

Perspective to start from a framework or a ground-level you know what is the mission what is the vision what are the values again of the concept of training

give families give kids give athletes the most bang for their Buck training we're going to take them through a full assessment see everything is going on with them.

[4:57] And really design a program that's specifically for them you know whether your young ass weed or grandmother.

Whatever might be you know you're have a program that fits your needs your goals and we're going to guide you in a way.

That's going to lie to get there in the quickest safest manner possible personalized approach.

You could almost you know walk in and walk out without even being noticed that being said you could also go to the opposite end of that Spectrum go to some news other private gyms but you know may not get

attention or the direction that you would really need to really hit your goals and so that's why I appreciate just personalized attention to detail the family atmosphere over there at Power and.

That comes through in your mission vision and values so let's go ahead and let's not focus on the kids

we want to talk about today you know tell us about your training approach I know we are talking in our preach at you mention you know the joint by joint.

Approach you know for these younger athletes can you kind of tell us more about that by joint approach was just got him a general philosophy.

[6:06] We still review all of our training you know whether that's the young athlete or.

Gandia the grandmother example use the proper mobility and proper stability.

[6:19] You know he's joining the body and in layman's terms that just says we can move where we need to move and we're strong and still where we need to be and.

We use that to get our assessments and got our training so when.

[6:35] Kids come in we're going to see what joints they may need some work in either getting more Mobility or getting more stability.

[6:43] And we build a plan that is going to address those issues in the safest manner possible the following this this joint by joint approach so.

No bad positions joint position dictates muscle function so that being said no bad looking less no bad looking movement patterns you know there is there's always room for improvement.

[7:04] Great attention to detail with the actual movement the program is just kind of a guideline and you know comes down to the in the trenches connecting with the athlete.

Making sure everything is is looking smooth absolutely into these younger athletes from our parents and sometimes

our parents don't move that well and then we actually learn those movement patterns

when you think about it it's like you can tell your kids to go play outside you can tell them to run around and spend time with your friends and you know just be kids right.

Which is absolutely true that's that's so great to do on the surface but what I really think working with someone like yourself can offer is that.

Methodical approach you know you talked about the joint by joint approach whether that's preventing injury for a certain athletic season I mean gosh right now.

What's the fall season here we got the back to school programs going on with all the sports happening right now and I just think he's younger athletes these kids working with.

Trainer that can Mossad we take them through a movement pattern or breathing pattern just can provide so much benefit and.

[8:19] Not only in terms of performance but in terms of prevention would you agree with any of that most definitely, you know what I think I think the biggest thing was that we talked about in the last episode of weird together was

building a foundation quickly to finding a foundation for the prettiest kids.

Even little bit older athletes that maybe haven't trained before foundation would just kind of include a good breeding patterns number one if we can breathe correctly can't relax can't recover.

And from a being able to lift standpoint once these kids start doing some loaded lifts they're going to need to,

feel the brace properly and if you can't breathe properly it's going to be challenging and then also just having good clean fundamental movement patterns cell can the kids crawl can they skip can they balance on one leg for.

You know more than 10 seconds can they hold the top of a push-up can they hold up a body bodyweight squat without any problems can they give me a hip hinge.

In a little things like that doesn't have to be real intense but just some basic basic basic foundation work to restore some of those things can go a real long way even just some general walking Sledge stuff Growler stuff

just got a general work capacity so these kids aren't getting

gassed out at some of these practices that they have to go to.

Either low back pain or neck pain I know and they've been having this for a long time and I'll ask them okay well how long.

[9:43] And it's often going back to an injury that they occurred

where are they picked out when they were a kid and so I think this conversation is so relevant as a parent I would

definitely want my kids to be moving well and it moving and planes and patterns that are going to be conducive to battling performance like we mentioned but also prevention because honestly as adults that we.

Profoundly and significantly affect our lives more older you know we can talk about the Aegis musculoskeletal maturity okay so what happens is.

At 25 years old but your skeletal system is fully formed you know those bones are going to completely ossify and classify those joints are going to be fully formed.

But up until that point and everything is moving and changing so especially when we're talking about these kids who are e235 10-12 years old.

[10:37] Everything is changing and everything is moving daily I would argue if not even

hourly because of all the different hormonal changes and things like that and I don't want to go into too much detail here we can talk more about Wolff's law and you can look up research on that what I essentially want to get at is you have to send those signal sohn and muscle

they won't change or develop unless you actually send those signal.

[11:00] What we're not saying is bring your kids into the gym and you know dance going to take them through Olympic weightlifting and Crossfit and all these things that's not what we're saying but we are.

You can do this in a methodical and thoughtful and targeted way,

to really get like what we're saying with these benefits and value of performance and prevention officer you know where I've heard whether it's with me or whatever,

and I know saying hey go live now it's getting that man with a staff or a coach was going to.

You'll be able to show them the right exercise or the right the right progression so the right dose at the right time,

no not every kid may be ready for a barbell back squat right off the bat which it's a fantastic exercise

I may be a coach

to work a little bit better as maybe start with bodyweight squat holding onto some straps bodyweight box squat things like that and I'm going to build up that patterns easy parents don't see a bar in the back they're comfortable with it start loading them up with a

goblet kettlebell front dumbbell have them work with that for a while.

[12:10] The other backs not being loaded at all spine is is staying safe by the time they've done a couple months of those you know they may be ready for a barbell front squat.

And you know by that time they know exactly what they're doing they know safety breathing mechanics you know things of that nature cell getting your kids in

with a program that has progression to it that's thawed out based upon their level of Readiness their willingness to learn traduce correctly at a young age you can be something that can benefit them for the rest of their lives

we learn how to move from our parents and watching our you know our folks move around and so if your son is going to go try out for the football team but really haven't learned how to move properly for a linebacker position you know that

probably hurt themselves pretty bad and then you know be out of commission for That season or the next season or you know even worse maybe even for the rest of their life so I definitely,

that what you have to offer these families is of Great Value and I want to go into more of that value as well because.

[13:07] Gosh I mean were talking about exercise here Dan and we know I mean there is a lexicon of literature.

That supports the physiologic changes the benefits of just simple exercise drug-free exercise there is nothing out there's there is no drug out there.

[13:24] That can do what just simple exercise and movement can do not only for your body.

[13:29] But for your brain as well so when you talk about these kids that might have their struggling with maybe a mood disorder or a neurocognitive issue you know the prevalence in the rise of autism and Asperger's.

[13:41] Gosh I can't think of how exercise could hurt that you could only benefit them so especially if you're kid maybe they're not.

Going out for the football team maybe they're not doing hockey and swimming and tennis and all these things maybe they're having you know some serious health concerns and you just want them to start moving because that movement is so important for your brain

all of the joint information from our where are muscles are in space where are joints are in space all of that is sent up to the brain so if you're talking about how can I help my kids brainfire correctly are just even with concentration gosh Dam

spend less time in front of the TV do better in school and increase their cognitive performance.

Exercise is a fantastic way to do that and what better way to do that with a coach like yourself Dan in a methodic and a functional way I want to also touch on.

Human growth hormone okay so this is very important and I've read tons of research that suggests okay for those of you who don't know human growth hormone is one of the most.

[14:48] Powerful hormones that we have in our entire body when we take in a synthesized form really doesn't have that profound effect

as if we were just to make it on her own and the thing is Dan when

we get stressed out and we don't exercise our brain does not make this hormone on its own so again back to signaling you got to send the right signals and here's the thing Dan when you exercise it was specifically when you strength and condition train like what we're talking about here,

that is the primary stimulus for signaling the release of human growth hormone and we can talk all day

about the benefits of human growth hormone that stimulates the breakdown of fat cells so you have better blood sugar control it's especially going to help with that growing athlete those younger kids who are going to are forming their bones are growing their joints are figuring out the right places.

And gosh I can't even we haven't even mentioned Chiropractic adjustments yet I just think that there is such a great pairing between simple conservative Chiropractic adjustments.

You know and what you do with the kids and trends of the training part of that because again these kids are growing and changing and they're not skeletally immature until they're 25 so.

There's so much that you can do in these younger ages.

[16:05] Can work together so I guess the moral of the story is between the both of us we try to put the kids in the best position possible get his joints and his or her joints in the best position possible.

When cows adjusting number when I'm doing strength training your Mobility exercises with them.

And doing all of all of those things in the correct joint positions putting some strength training on top of that allows them to sort of hit save on those good positions and.

If you have to stay in them a little bit longer elhence being a little bit healthier on the field or on the court just increasing their General I work capacity and.

Ability to be healthy

over long-term now I know you're really big into foundation so let's actually go back to a foundational component of training philosophy which is nutrition.

Nutrition when you're training these kits okay we'll just tie it back into some points you're just making about brain health Kyle food is a drug and going to have an effect on.

[17:06] Neurotransmitter is busy with her brain does and what it tells our body to do the moon it's going to be in order to be in and just the state of Readiness or how we're going to feel

two trainer player sports sell we don't deal with these kids and say Hey you have to completely knock out everything you're eating and eat this way or that way in Odessa

talk to him and see what they're eating for breakfast or see what they're eating before they come and see if they're eating the night before they get in that first or second workout and they're going through a little bit of conditioning or even just some simple.

[17:34] Basic strength training stuff and they start losing color a little bit and look like they're getting sick on X Out of Time it comes from having.

Apple juice and cereal for breakfast or some sort of sugary type thing like that but they're their darn delicious but there's better times to eat on my cell.

It always your delicious but why you just maybe have some water some eggs and some fruit and see how you feel next time you come in and sometimes out of time this morning oh my God time times better than last time you know so getting there.

Getting a sugary breakfast is out of there and really drinking much of anything but water or practices before workout is really just kind of a waste of time,

you're just making yourself kind of feel more out of shape than what you really are and I really maximizing your potential and.

[18:22] I'll save the save the goodies for after the activity has some fun with it and don't get too out of control,

not only is how we move and how we trained very important at a young age but also to go along with what we're saying here about nutrition.

The way that we teach our kids how to eat at the fuel that we put into our bodies is so imperative that those younger ages because absolutely,

skyrocketing rates of type 2 adult onset diabetes obesity cardiovascular disease you know all these things are major societal issues in our culture.

[19:05] And all this preventable all of it is

great ways to accomplish those goals

how to use of pharmaceutical medications and surgery so I can't for the service that you're inviting the community

workouts for games are these B's over High pre-workout stimulants and I know he has all see me drinking my coffee and.

[19:34] Like caffeine and stuff like that body I know explode and,

jack3d C4 stuff like that not good stay away from that lot more harm than good kids think it's like steroids it doesn't do anything besides get you caffeinated and itchy and irritable and all this good stuff.

So stay away from that drink water maybe have a little bit of coffee.

And just get your head right there are definitely research to suggest in different things that can be organic

things that actually do boost your performance and exercise you mentioned coffee organic

coffee it's the extras it's the fillers that are going to ultimately mess up your gut you mentioned those pre-workout shakes and everything

better alternatives food-based to I mean gosh we could definitely organic

beat in terms of nitric oxide production and all that so damn the purpose of the Michigan Family Wellness podcast is to be an audio library resource for the women mothers and their family wellness and increasing their resiliency or

to the stress and challenges in their life one of the ways we accomplish this is by asking Our Guest for practical.

So damn what can the women the moms in the families listening today.

[20:54] Start doing as result of hearing your voice to elevate their Health and Family Wellness will throw one out there for the the moms out there he didn't corporate the exercise push away is or are pull away so we're going to push away.

The kids cereal and apple juice and all the garbage at breakfast maybe try out eggs fresh fruity set organic coffee water maybe some different vegetables things like that for your your breakfast and your child's breakfast and you're going to feel a lot more

alert awake and productive throughout the beginning of the day ever on the moodlede little bit more stable and go I'll be able to.

[21:29] You'll be better version of yourself for the kids out there eat that breakfast don't be stubborn your parent and from of movement standpoint get moving around doesn't have to be heavy powerlifting stuff which can be fantastic if you got a good coach out there but let's get on the ground.

Do some crawling do some rocking let's do some bodyweight squatting lunging Farmers carries no picking up,

a couple moderately heavy dumbbells kettlebells something you can safely pick out my sweat back to get up carried as far as can set it down y'all do that a handful of times dragons clubs around and have some fun be ready to start loading up.

Squatting deadlifting if you want to learn Olympic lifting seek out

you know someone older than you who's qualified to teach Alaska lot of questions learn how to do the movements of the best technique that you can times not always going to be perfect but learning how to do

your movements very well will allow you to get strong and do it for a long time.

One of the things asked a lot of questions I can't emphasize that enough really ask questions because that's Altima Lee going to lead you to the most relevant and the most truthful information which is what you're looking for and against.

[22:39] But also about breakfast.

Making some simple changes to their breakfast especially with the back-to-school time of the year was busy morning schedules with their breakfast in the morning but honestly from what I see.

If you're getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning and you're trying to get the kids go in and get them on the bus by 6:00 6:30 or anything like that there's just so much going on so early in the morning.

[23:09] And you need so much digestion signaling to really break down those protein in those fat so if you're doing that I would almost suggest like you were saying Dan like go for that fresh fruit that's going to be much easier to digest when you're on the Run

later on in the day maybe mid-morning when your blood sugar is getting a little bit lower.

Then reach for that meat and that protein and a good healthy.

[23:35] You're going to be more calm your parasympathetic nervous system is going to be functioning better.

And that's going to allow you to make stomach acid into make all the lipase is to break down those macronutrients because I just think it's too it's too much to handle for most people.

It's just too much to handle first thing in the morning at 5 a.m. to try and wolf down a bunch of meat and an avocado it's just too much overwhelming signaling on your digestive system is my main point there would you agree for it but

fruteria you know just drinking some water and some apple cider vinegar something to settle down the stomach first thing in the morning can be great

but you're more or less moral of the story is like hack away the unessential sell the family get the box sugary cereals out of there the from concentrated juices out of there all that stuff you know you had that stuff away any choice you make after that's probably give you a little bit better and going to be an improvement

Michigan Association DIY can go to their website they've got a lot of great resources on there for training youth athletes and lots of great ideas ways to find Qualified

professionals your kid plays baseball.

[24:47] Eric cressey. Com is great ugly maybe detail all these in the show notes strength.com.

A lot of great information there on.

[25:02] Some of the things I was talking about like crawling and rocking and restoring some basic Foundation movement patterns Tim Anderson on their does a fantastic job.

[25:10] Educating and detailing how to do a lot of really helpful things,

where are the hockey communities at so guys stay active on their name on there is coach Allison da2 my Twitter handle hit me up on any of those platforms and I love to.

Transcript MFW 060 | Dr. Elroy Vojdani

Dr. Elroy Podcast

[1:06] The best way to have a healthy family is by living a Family Wellness lifestyle so if you're looking for efficient effective.

Then I strongly recommend you make yourself comfortable because we have an amazing show for you today dr. elroy's Johnny is the founder of regeneron medical a boutique functional medicine practice in Los Angeles California.

And a certified bredesen recode practitioner

well welcome families to the interview portion of today's podcast I have with me today doctor Elroy Voyage Johnny welcome to the podcast Doc it's so great to have you.

It's great to be here Kyle appreciate it.

[2:06] I just want to thank you so much for coming on the platform here doc I had the honor and the privilege of meeting you back in Denver just last week

people out there that are just struggling.

Hundred lbs and chronic disease that are just looking for answers were a lot of functional medicine and even the owl pathak model has come up short for them so

I want to thank you for your time this afternoon as we always start with with every guest that we have on the podcast dear.

[2:43] Can you briefly tell us what family looks like for you.

Thank you very much for thing at home that I think you carry with you wherever you go.

[3:08] Absolutely.

The healthy baby healthy mother there that's

I have not had the honor of visiting Michigan but my brother-in-law who I'm very close with is a freshman at the University of Michigan just started.

[3:34] He just came home yesterday for fall break so I'm catching up on all his wonderful times and Mission

brilliant that's great to hear I'm we're always I mean right now with the fall definitely go Blue cheering for Michigan there and I hear great things about the university with their medical programs and all of their academic achievements there as well so

with your functional medicine clinic out and.

California there on the clinical side applying these things that you're doing with the research and actually changing people's lives to elevate their health and

on this lifestyle specifically i wanted to go into a talking the in test no permian below the and our current understanding of wiki got because i think there's.

Again you've talked about this on your YouTube channel with a wrist of what is Johnny PhD.

[4:33] And.

Oftentimes there can be confusion or miscommunication about mechanisms or even new research comes out and we have new understandings so.

[4:52] No for some during degree or another that we have these multiple barriers within our body right so we have six primary barriers if you will

one being the skin are first barrier with the environments are lungs you can have a leaky lung context our lungs have a barrier,

obviously the intestinal barrier which I think is most widely known but then we also have a good vascular barrier a blood-brain barrier which is had a lot of attention around it recently

and also onion barrier so if we could dive into a discussion of the inch has no barrier and i know it may a branch off from there i think they'll give people a great start.

In terms of California contacts for our discussion.

And listening to your talk back in Denver what I heard you say if pregnant if I'm wrong but it's almost as if our intestinal epithelium or those cells that kind of makeup are gut lining.

[5:55] There's some component of our body sometimes wants to have that be

i was a most the time it wants to be a good nice tight junction that's closed off does that sound correct.

Or how does that concept totally correct and so what we were talking about in the lecture was.

[6:29] Kind of completely reverse our understanding of and has some pretty billy

we used to think 20 or 25 years ago and I even mentioned in the lecture that it when I went to med school what we were taught was

that the interface between the inside of our God and our blood.

And then that is basically you know absolute and that the spaces in between those cells which are the paracellular spaces and where tight junctions live.

And dr. Fasano's work was going on actually the same time that I was learning that in medical school.

And he basically flipped the upside down he said you know this is incorrect.

We have a mechanism to open these.

[7:28] Spaces in between these barriers elsener got end.

Or open and close these tight junctions to be able to sample,

what's inside of our gut and that's in the spirit of maintaining something called.

Oral tolerance or peripheral tolerance.

[7:53] Which is our ability to say this is Friend or Foe basically.

[7:59] Self or non-self exactly did you ever watch the movie The Matrix dock.

Of course.

Turn off above the door where Neal walks in when he visits the shaman I forget what her name is.

And so I just think of that when I reflect upon this concept of autoimmune ology or having your immune system recognize what is Friend or Foe essentially that Thursday.

Absolutely can you expand upon this idea of oral tolerance and maybe tie this into the alcat test because that's an understanding that I'm trying to format.

[8:37] Understand as well and have that be shape because I think a lot of people have heard of the alcat test or they've had the testing done and they may feel better for an initial period of time.

What's the long-term plan.

[9:02] You know beginning at about 3 months of age or our body starts forming immune cells within our bone marrow.

And we start creating something called Central tolerance which is this really vital part of being able to exist.

Which is training the cells of our mean system to understand what is our tissue and what is not our tissue.

And that of course occurs in that i am missing you know goes a couple of years two or three years right essential tolerance.

The idea that our tissue is our own and make sure that our immune system never attacks.

[9:38] Expanded concept is something called peripheral tolerance which is.

Where you're still trying to maintain the idea of cell vs non self white be flexible in.

Peripheral tolerance occurs primarily in the gut.

[9:59] And this is a dynamic and ever-flowing process as we are exposed to different things in our environment and end that

that's where tight junctions become incredibly important functions to work appropriately you need to be able to turn them on and open them in unregulated fashions in the correct situation.

In order to expose your immune system which is centered within the guy to the right amount of antigens at the right time so it knows which which one's the fight and which ones did not

now we don't want to suddenly start developing reactions for example is something very common like gluten Nord sub peptides,

you know this is not what I mean system is designed to do it's doing this by accident and it's happening it's happening through dysregulation of Grifols.

[11:09] Those of us in the book Valley School of thought.

And along time ago we now have testing was coming up.

Be one of the immunologist on staff to validate alcat test,

what the fuck.

Changes in character size composition of the lymphocytes in there for terminating service immune reactivity to.

Mom.

[12:00] He wasn't able to.

Areas of research for us is actually validating ways that we do do some testing which I think is something that everyone who is practicing in this base needs to be aware of is.

You know how reliable how accurate how reproduce or the test we do.

And what can i answer the case so i'm personally not a huge fan at all can i know that there are lots of people out there it use it and they do use it successfully and is a very common story.

[12:48] Choose your and what you just mentioned that people respond positively initially read foods that are mentions.

[13:01] Initial symptoms symptom relief will not propagate for very long periods of time or maybe I think more importantly.

In the question is why.

I think that goes.

When you look at I think how inflammation is centered in the small intestine in the setting of intestinal permeability you know that the propagation of inflammation and potentially antibodies to some of those

I think that antibody testing gives you much more important clinical information.

And you probably want to look at more than just IGG a lot of people are looking at.

Yeah I think this is a great discussion here. I really appreciate you bringing the value here because as a chiropractor I primarily work with musculoskeletal cases.

That gives us a level of trust in the foundation to move forward into these new avenues that.

[14:18] Chiropractors actually have a great access to especially when a lot of.

Gives us a great Segway into.

Give us an understanding of this selective for me ability because.

[15:00] The intestinal epithelium to let something through right or is that really not been proven yet or is it always a bad thing to have permeability.

For the paracellular space so they're they're basically opening a gate.

Or things to enter directly into the bloodstream and therefore into the game system there's absolutely a physiologic function.

Dysbiosis done in balance of bacteria there many chemicals alcohol common medications like Advil common pesticides like Roundup.

[16:09] Set up.

[16:19] Some cases actually tight junctions can be fixed in the open position so your stock.

Consistent opening of the tight junctions and you can imagine where if there's a function normally there opening and closing in a very short period of time if they're stuck open

your new system is empty flooded with crowns proteins and so is it when we learn why is

on the end of illegal surface we open our page options.

And you're mean system is basically being flooded with a bunch of.

[17:13] Do we know you mentioned those environmental stressors you meant,

question Kyle very great question the only two things that have been proven in the literature to actually resulted in upregulation of Zombieland are

gluten peptides and dysbiosis and I think part of dysbiosis

you have to start talking about bacterial toxins whether they're LPS or something I didn't talk about the lecture another very important bacterial toxin is bacterial cycle equal to spending dachshund.

[17:54] Which is part of a very common infectious agents that cause acute GI distress but.

Primarily alterations of,

intestinal permeability via other methods of testing not actually looking at zonulin release but when you

I think when you look at the mechanisms it's all going to pan out zonulin is such a master signaling molecule.

We have this up regulation of zonulin from our environment from our contacts whether it be dysbiosis.

Ps

So then we have the opening of the Junctions.

[19:06] Take it from there so the kids are open right.

You know basically your immune system is inside the Fortress it's job is to defend.

[19:30] Several lines of soldiers that are sitting just just past the gate waiting for these enemies and their job is to.

Right so this first line of Defenders is our innate immune system right are non-specific immune defense.

[20:02] Natural killer T cells these are all things that are sitting there waiting for this on Rush a CD on Rush happening.

They get upset and they just start releasing the bunch of pro-inflammatory cytokines are chemicals that are,

but

localized inflammatory response right

inflammatory response

shortly thereafter going to get some redness and and not Implement inflammatory response is very similar to what's happening inside you've got on this happens right

now what happens if this.

[21:27] What you can think of is maybe the Navy Seals inside the Fortress.

We need help us deal with all this complexity of Invaders and those Navy Seals are adaptive immune system

autoinflammatory and autoimmune diseases even outside of the right so,

the Invaders are rushing through the Adaptive immune cells make their way.

You can just open it open the gate real quick take a peek at who's across the line.

Close the gate in your body inside Fortress is totally fine in this situation.

[22:54] Be enemies have made their way through and that second line of defense is decided okay you know we need to,

toupees here and that's where you can actually make antibodies against food particles because of that this regulation.

And then that's where a lot of the antibody testing would come into play.

[23:12] Is that right so you're basically testing when you're looking for antibodies

I know I'm a little bit passionate about this stuff so.

Need that whole localised inflammatory response to go away.

[23:56] Enemy that they were recruited to fight against for example let's use something different let's say the casing for example I have protein in milk or whey let's say Jason keeps on rushing and they're not going to go anywhere

M10 the entire environment or response.

[24:42] And then based on what you just outline.

Ideally than that everything should start to seal however sometimes.

To her stress levels due to all the other environmental factors i think sometimes that healing doesn't mr lee take.

Inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease rheumatoid arthritis so we have we had this great new understanding.

A lot of these pathological disease processes that are now being spine with differ mechanisms.

And I feel like we're able to provide new tools and better treatments for these patients.

Absolutely yeah this was the remarkable breakthrough I think of dr. Fasano's work.

[25:47] Central feature for the development of autoimmune diseases and we're also finding many connections to.

As well we used to just say.

[26:16] Happened a black box know you have interviewed sorry yeah now i actually we're understanding that.

[27:03] They found a much higher amount of sanyo wind-up regulation patients with type one diabetes adults patients

and patients who don't have type 1 diabetes so something else is going on here and it's actually centered within the intestinal I think one of the Great Hopes here is first of all our understanding of the Adaptive physiology has grown

brick trade of time that I've been in practice I'm sure you have a much better perspective on this.

[28:12] Yeah then outline why that's better than the serum cuz I know that's part of your.

By using sugar molecules and testing the amount of them in urine and basically saying if there's more to this than that and you have some.

Issues with your ability and research white that's like completely clean.

Right there are a lot of things that can change your intestinal absorption of a sugar molecule that have nothing to do with this zonulin pathway

or have nothing to do with your immune system so Johnny land became the focus.

Dysregulation of your immune system means potentially autoimmune disease if you're not.

[29:26] All the clinical research that was being done was being done using serum is on also this.

Signaling molecule is released into God and then.

Makes its way into the bloodstream and therefore you're drawing their blood and you can look at the amount of Zombieland.

It is significantly elevated to the point that you can make a conclusion that this regulation of xylem plays a role in this disease but.

[30:00] Sure you can draw the conclusion that type 1 diabetes is correlated with an increase in Zombieland based on serum levels

okay you look at the celiac disease patients when you look and see rims on eiland levels you get like 40% of patients with celiac disease that's an autoimmune disease that is centered in the gut almost all of those patients should have a positive.

Intestinal permeability test.

A Clinical Laboratory diagnostic tool and even doctors opponent bassano in their own research said

didn't stop many lives from using it as a new clinical diagnostic test which is worse terms anion levels became.

A tool in the functional integrative squirrel.

So basically.

[31:09] You have the designers of these experiments saying you probably shouldn't use it but live saying whatever.

[31:27] It's a big molecule right we knew based on other research that looked at Big molecules that,

when you want to look at the stability of those big mouth.

No way that you can think about using testing for these things and reliable and that's because.

[31:47] Okay.

Arthropathy reactive arthritis Ankylosing Spondylitis so it's involved in a lot of very important diseases but for a long time we've known,

you should be looking for the antibodies to LPS because.

[32:37] The LPS that it was attacking is going to disappear.

[32:41] In a very short period top two to four minutes for help that's so.

[32:45] What if you looked at the actual.

Which indirectly tells you that LPS has been present at consistent levels or at least the last four to six.

[33:26] And what is available as a Laboratory test and we said let's compare those two antibodies,

excluding Clawdeen with your other proteins in the tight junctions and we looked at something called Leo February acidic protein which is.

[33:44] Becoming a very big part of the vascular permeability discussion that is the new.

[33:49] Hear a thing about especially when you look is it levels vs antibiotics on your levels the antibodies were elevated much more

33% of the patients with celiac disease in our study had serum Zombieland elevations 67% double the amount had antibody elevation so when you talking about a clinical tool

this one looks based on the data to be much more reliable reproducible stable over time

get those numbers back in the NBA publish those results absolutely

any sort of connection to the vagus nerve are parasympathetic nervous system.

[35:16] We're talking about tight junctions but I'm going to briefly wrap this up so.

[35:22] How to take functions are not the only important structure in that's case or repair cellular gap in between yep feel yourself there's also another thing how do you your instruction.

Filial cells to sit next to each other and work happily.

There's a set of bacterial toxins called satelital distending toxins which actually directly attack.

And this is work from dr. Pimentel at Cedar-Sinai.

[36:03] Body will form a antibody to it.

Is protein in your ad here instruction and also cross-react with your enteric nervous system,

the appearance Junctions throughout your entire intestinal system so this is your method of

transducing,

stop dating a migrating Motor complex which is signal through your vagus nerve tear and tear nervous system.

You are breaking apart the connection network and then you are also directly attacking the nurse.

[37:01] Explosives and amount is of type junction are very often.

You got intestinal permeability and you also get direct damage to the interior of nervous system.

And we're finding out that a very large portion.

Actually have both of these.

[37:41] I'm is basically a large portion of the majority of patients with IBS subtype d.

Will have abnormalities related to antibodies attacking.

Enter nervous system and also significant.

Portion of those with constipation subtype so.

[38:05] You're finding out that damage the entire nervous system is autoimmune in nature which is really really really fast.

Wow that just blows my mind I've never heard that articulated that eloquently I've never even heard of that mechanism is that unlike a molecular mimicry

evolutionarily beneficial to those bacteria to develop toxins that mimics our own structures.

It's one thing for toxins to do their job in To Kill a cell

it's another for them to propagate in any response that.

And it just turns out to destroy your jerk nervous system.

[38:57] So

[38:59] Would a good practical application be going back to all of our functional neurology vagus nerve exercises so are humming gargling or gag reflex.

Absolutely that's what you have to do and at the same time also focus on restoring oral or peripheral tolerance getting your body to stop producing.

Antibodies to is toxin in there for your own tissues.

So yes yes and I want people to know who we're listening that dr. elroy's Johnny is out there in California at regeneron Medical is that correct

that's correct yes yes so if you need a functional medicine testing doc use out there in california if you're locally here at the michigan family wellness community context,

of course we have the ability to do a lot of these tests as well cyrex is the.

[40:07] Basically what we're talking about what we're looking at with a lot of these antibody test I believe it's array 14 is that right.

Absolutely again briefly back as we conclude our talk for today I think we're still going here with our recording.

Basically can you take us through perhaps that right side of that voice Johnny V because I believe you guys have some great practical application,

some of this testing is not the most accessible for a lot of people.

Eight more got center the me having your of generation one so i'll talk to the basics of god centered wide and also a little bit of.

So basically got centered line as we call it a through think so.

[41:17] Obviously remove the things that are causing inflammation in your.

[41:34] Right and then you have to send positive signals to the immune system right you have to send.

To our friends the t regulatory cells which are responsible for whether we have this item one time before a i don't you think going on you have to send them happy sick so.

At large doses of vitamin a i like of the ten thousand units for shorter the time.

Large doses of Vitamin D based on your testing you know that's a pretty easy test again but anywhere from 5 to 10,000.

I'm a big fan of glutathione using very often you know.

[42:19] Master antioxidant obviously helping you cope with this and planned for it battle heels blood brain barrier is really pushes a pack detox so i use it very often.

Yeah the switch on and on and on the neuro degeneration world there dirt very very similar you add a few things that are different.

[43:08] Yeah so when treating patients with intestinal permeability I use serum bovine immunoglobulin e.

Everyday many times today it is expensive but I think it's really effective the literature is really showing.

I think that what we experience in clinical practice using this is panning out.

It's basically an oral version i big basically just taking holding european helping your immune system.

Clean out this biotic organisms healed.

You don't prove any issues you might have with biofilms I think it's a really powerful tool thanks so much.

Briefly what are you do you like to dose those immunoglobulins pretty high.

I've been dosing two and a half grams two times a day for anywhere from three to six months.

[44:07] So that's basically two scoops of the SBI protect from working like there and I do like I was using a prescription version.

Before this was available and it does have dextrose from GMO corn,

and if your location is balance the both of my not so low that so that's why i switched up or some like.

[44:54] Love and support all these is there practicing.

In this field a functional medicine we absolutely need you the community as a whole I think would not be where we are without.

DC's being so forward thinking about employing functional medicine and thinking about their entire patient.

I think for there you go is books wearing a battle I think is as a community or practitioners

what we feel is the correct way to look at the literature and treat patients and there is a lot of blowback from other sides.

So we're all part of the same team we all support each other.

My thought with that doctors that we can do far more together and then we could ever do a.
