Well, and I think it's interesting what Well, and I think it's interesting what Well, and I think it's interesting what you're saying because I think a lot of you're saying because I think a lot of you're saying because I think a lot of times entrepreneurs think that their times entrepreneurs think that their times entrepreneurs think that their health went ary because of lack of time health went ary because of lack of time health went ary because of lack of time for self-care, lack of time to get to for self-care, lack of time to get to for self-care, lack of time to get to the gym, lack of time to maybe eat the gym, lack of time to maybe eat the gym, lack of time to maybe eat healthy food, prep their own meals. And healthy food, prep their own meals. And healthy food, prep their own meals. And you know, it's so much more than that you know, it's so much more than that you know, it's so much more than that because it's exactly what you're because it's exactly what you're because it's exactly what you're describing is are you making business describing is are you making business describing is are you making business moves and decisions out of desperation moves and decisions out of desperation moves and decisions out of desperation versus inspiration. You know, are you versus inspiration. You know, are you versus inspiration. You know, are you actually strategizing on how to create a actually strategizing on how to create a actually strategizing on how to create a business that serves you and serves your business that serves you and serves your business that serves you and serves your life? Not that you constantly serve the life? Not that you constantly serve the life? Not that you constantly serve the business. Even if you say, "Oh, I'm business. Even if you say, "Oh, I'm business. Even if you say, "Oh, I'm gonna serve my business for x amount of gonna serve my business for x amount of gonna serve my business for x amount of time to then get to this level and then time to then get to this level and then time to then get to this level and then I'll do things differently." It never I'll do things differently." It never I'll do things differently." It never works that way. It It's usually you find works that way. It It's usually you find works that way. It It's usually you find yourself you're a decade in or longer yourself you're a decade in or longer yourself you're a decade in or longer and you're more burnt out than you've and you're more burnt out than you've and you're more burnt out than you've ever been. And so going back to, you ever been. And so going back to, you ever been. And so going back to, you know, the the original topic of this know, the the original topic of this know, the the original topic of this podcast is that, you know, when we are podcast is that, you know, when we are podcast is that, you know, when we are are kind of in the hamster wheel going are kind of in the hamster wheel going are kind of in the hamster wheel going going and we we find ourselves, okay, going and we we find ourselves, okay, going and we we find ourselves, okay, you know, I got a lot of stress going you know, I got a lot of stress going you know, I got a lot of stress going on. I have the never-ending to-do list on. I have the never-ending to-do list on. I have the never-ending to-do list and I I need to do X, Y, and Z. I need and I I need to do X, Y, and Z. I need and I I need to do X, Y, and Z. I need to deliver on X, Y, or Z. So, we find to deliver on X, Y, or Z. So, we find to deliver on X, Y, or Z. So, we find ourselves tapping into like what can I ourselves tapping into like what can I ourselves tapping into like what can I do to increase my performance in order do to increase my performance in order do to increase my performance in order to accomplish this? And we've found to accomplish this? And we've found to accomplish this? And we've found what's so interesting is that what's so interesting is that what's so interesting is that am I echoing? am I echoing? am I echoing? [Music] [Music] [Music] we found that is interesting is that we found that is interesting is that we found that is interesting is that this individual posted on social media this individual posted on social media this individual posted on social media about this specific topic and then we about this specific topic and then we about this specific topic and then we ended up having a new client who came on ended up having a new client who came on ended up having a new client who came on who was doing the exact same thing. who was doing the exact same thing. who was doing the exact same thing. Entrepreneur taking testosterone therapy Entrepreneur taking testosterone therapy Entrepreneur taking testosterone therapy under a lot of stress, drinking caffeine under a lot of stress, drinking caffeine under a lot of stress, drinking caffeine in order to get through his very very in order to get through his very very in order to get through his very very long work days. And then this is long work days. And then this is long work days. And then this is something that we go and run labs and we something that we go and run labs and we something that we go and run labs and we find that you know essentially it's a find that you know essentially it's a find that you know essentially it's a ticking time bomb for a cardiovascular ticking time bomb for a cardiovascular ticking time bomb for a cardiovascular event. And in some cases this can be event. And in some cases this can be event. And in some cases this can be stroke related. In some cases this could stroke related. In some cases this could stroke related. In some cases this could be uh blood pressure dysregulation be uh blood pressure dysregulation be uh blood pressure dysregulation causing um brain dysfunction. In some causing um brain dysfunction. In some causing um brain dysfunction. In some cases this can be heart attack. In some cases this can be heart attack. In some cases this can be heart attack. In some cases this can be a blood clot. It cases this can be a blood clot. It cases this can be a blood clot. It doesn't have one phase. When you think doesn't have one phase. When you think doesn't have one phase. When you think about blood flow, whatever affects the about blood flow, whatever affects the about blood flow, whatever affects the the brain affects the heart affects, you the brain affects the heart affects, you the brain affects the heart affects, you know, I get right to it. Affects the know, I get right to it. Affects the know, I get right to it. Affects the dick. dick. dick. Yep. Yep. Yep. So, I mean, it's it's all the it's all So, I mean, it's it's all the it's all So, I mean, it's it's all the it's all the same. You know, it to say that it's the same. You know, it to say that it's the same. You know, it to say that it's only affecting one area and really not only affecting one area and really not only affecting one area and really not affecting the other is incorrect. You affecting the other is incorrect. You affecting the other is incorrect. You might not have a symptom in another area might not have a symptom in another area might not have a symptom in another area yet, but that doesn't mean there's not a yet, but that doesn't mean there's not a yet, but that doesn't mean there's not a problem. And and that's like you know problem. And and that's like you know problem. And and that's like you know you go into the biohacking world which you go into the biohacking world which you go into the biohacking world which you know biohacking is amazing when you you know biohacking is amazing when you you know biohacking is amazing when you have a full integrative awareness like have a full integrative awareness like have a full integrative awareness like in any aspect of life. If if you have a in any aspect of life. If if you have a in any aspect of life. If if you have a full um awareness you can capitalize off full um awareness you can capitalize off full um awareness you can capitalize off of something. But if you don't have a of something. But if you don't have a of something. But if you don't have a full awareness and you're only going full awareness and you're only going full awareness and you're only going through it with a narrow mind to patch a through it with a narrow mind to patch a through it with a narrow mind to patch a hole well you're going to create another hole well you're going to create another hole well you're going to create another hole. hole. hole. Yep. And that's what most people are Yep. And that's what most people are Yep. And that's what most people are getting incorrectly with testosterone. getting incorrectly with testosterone. getting incorrectly with testosterone. Yeah. And the other thing that uh our Yeah. And the other thing that uh our Yeah. And the other thing that uh our mentor um and very revered physician Dr. mentor um and very revered physician Dr. mentor um and very revered physician Dr. Kingart educated us on is that Kingart educated us on is that Kingart educated us on is that testosterone can is not a great recipe testosterone can is not a great recipe testosterone can is not a great recipe with mercury in the body. And he found with mercury in the body. And he found with mercury in the body. And he found that it's something that would actually that it's something that would actually that it's something that would actually mobilize mercury. And for those of you mobilize mercury. And for those of you mobilize mercury. And for those of you that are like where the hell does that are like where the hell does that are like where the hell does mercury come from? mercury. There's mercury come from? mercury. There's mercury come from? mercury. There's different forms of mercury. There are different forms of mercury. There are different forms of mercury. There are certain forms of mercury that can be in certain forms of mercury that can be in certain forms of mercury that can be in the body from the silver fillings that the body from the silver fillings that the body from the silver fillings that either were in your teeth because a either were in your teeth because a either were in your teeth because a portion of that will always get absorbed portion of that will always get absorbed portion of that will always get absorbed by the um the lymph and the blood by the um the lymph and the blood by the um the lymph and the blood vessels um or if you currently have vessels um or if you currently have vessels um or if you currently have those silver fillings, silver caps um or those silver fillings, silver caps um or those silver fillings, silver caps um or even certain coatings and um sealants even certain coatings and um sealants even certain coatings and um sealants that are put on your teeth. And then in that are put on your teeth. And then in that are put on your teeth. And then in addition to that is fish consumption is addition to that is fish consumption is addition to that is fish consumption is one of the the most well-known uh from one of the the most well-known uh from one of the the most well-known uh from large fish like shark um swordfish tuna large fish like shark um swordfish tuna large fish like shark um swordfish tuna etc. Don't get me wrong there are many etc. Don't get me wrong there are many etc. Don't get me wrong there are many other ways you get exposed to mercury. other ways you get exposed to mercury. other ways you get exposed to mercury. Fluorescent light bulbs is actually Fluorescent light bulbs is actually Fluorescent light bulbs is actually offging mercury. offging mercury. offging mercury. So So So really quick to to stop I saw um a really quick to to stop I saw um a really quick to to stop I saw um a social media post the other day. I social media post the other day. I social media post the other day. I should have copied it and sent it to should have copied it and sent it to should have copied it and sent it to you, but it had a graph of uh you, but it had a graph of uh you, but it had a graph of uh testosterone and intellect and it it was testosterone and intellect and it it was testosterone and intellect and it it was an actual study that they did. an actual study that they did. an actual study that they did. Mhm. Mhm. Mhm. And like I usually honestly don't give And like I usually honestly don't give And like I usually honestly don't give enough to really care, but it was kind enough to really care, but it was kind enough to really care, but it was kind of a joke because they Well, the post of a joke because they Well, the post of a joke because they Well, the post was a joke because they had, you know, was a joke because they had, you know, was a joke because they had, you know, high amounts of testosterone, but when high amounts of testosterone, but when high amounts of testosterone, but when that happened, intellect went down. that happened, intellect went down. that happened, intellect went down. Yeah. And but then in the top right Yeah. And but then in the top right Yeah. And but then in the top right corner there was one little dot because corner there was one little dot because corner there was one little dot because it was all like the dots, you know, the it was all like the dots, you know, the it was all like the dots, you know, the typical scientific diagram typical scientific diagram typical scientific diagram and it was circled and it was pointing and it was circled and it was pointing and it was circled and it was pointing to like to like to like who's this [  ] guy over here that who's this [  ] guy over here that who's this [  ] guy over here that has highest and like amazing intellect has highest and like amazing intellect has highest and like amazing intellect and but I didn't I just looked at it. I and but I didn't I just looked at it. I and but I didn't I just looked at it. I was like, "Oh yeah, that makes sense." was like, "Oh yeah, that makes sense." was like, "Oh yeah, that makes sense." Cuz most people with crazy high amount Cuz most people with crazy high amount Cuz most people with crazy high amount of testosterone, it's not natural. of testosterone, it's not natural. of testosterone, it's not natural. They're doing it. They're mobilizing They're doing it. They're mobilizing They're doing it. They're mobilizing mercury that's affecting the nervous mercury that's affecting the nervous mercury that's affecting the nervous system. Intellect's going to go down system. Intellect's going to go down system. Intellect's going to go down because they can't process blah blah because they can't process blah blah because they can't process blah blah blah. blah. blah. Yeah. But, you know, there's one outlier Yeah. But, you know, there's one outlier Yeah. But, you know, there's one outlier that uh that that beat all odds and uh that uh that that beat all odds and uh that uh that that beat all odds and uh curious. Yeah. Curious to know who that curious. Yeah. Curious to know who that curious. Yeah. Curious to know who that guy is. But but it's interesting because guy is. But but it's interesting because guy is. But but it's interesting because that's what you know, Klinger dropped that's what you know, Klinger dropped that's what you know, Klinger dropped the bomb. And he says, you know, um you the bomb. And he says, you know, um you the bomb. And he says, you know, um you know, testosterone therapy makes you know, testosterone therapy makes you know, testosterone therapy makes you stupid. And we're all like, what? and he stupid. And we're all like, what? and he stupid. And we're all like, what? and he primarily was reporting that if there is primarily was reporting that if there is primarily was reporting that if there is mercury in your body and unfortunately mercury in your body and unfortunately mercury in your body and unfortunately there's mercury in a lot of people's there's mercury in a lot of people's there's mercury in a lot of people's systems that it's going to mobilize that systems that it's going to mobilize that systems that it's going to mobilize that and it's going to affect the nervous and it's going to affect the nervous and it's going to affect the nervous system and exactly what you're talking system and exactly what you're talking system and exactly what you're talking about. You're going to have intellect go about. You're going to have intellect go about. You're going to have intellect go down. And so this is not that there's a down. And so this is not that there's a down. And so this is not that there's a direct correlation. It's the direct correlation. It's the direct correlation. It's the testosterone is the cause. It's just the testosterone is the cause. It's just the testosterone is the cause. It's just the testosterone is mobilizing the mercury testosterone is mobilizing the mercury testosterone is mobilizing the mercury which is the cause. And so a lot of which is the cause. And so a lot of which is the cause. And so a lot of people don't know that and a lot of people don't know that and a lot of people don't know that and a lot of practitioners that are recommending practitioners that are recommending practitioners that are recommending testosterone therapy don't know that as testosterone therapy don't know that as testosterone therapy don't know that as well. And so it's looked at as this well. And so it's looked at as this well. And so it's looked at as this pretty benign substance. You know, take pretty benign substance. You know, take pretty benign substance. You know, take testosterone and it's going to increase testosterone and it's going to increase testosterone and it's going to increase performance. It's going to um help with performance. It's going to um help with performance. It's going to um help with energy levels. And this is not just men. energy levels. And this is not just men. energy levels. And this is not just men. This is also women. uh because I know a This is also women. uh because I know a This is also women. uh because I know a lot of women that like when they tried lot of women that like when they tried lot of women that like when they tried different hormone replacement therapies different hormone replacement therapies different hormone replacement therapies and they found that oh if I take and they found that oh if I take and they found that oh if I take testosterone I have more energy and now testosterone I have more energy and now testosterone I have more energy and now I'm longterm on testosterone I'm longterm on testosterone I'm longterm on testosterone and so everything you know anytime and so everything you know anytime and so everything you know anytime you're putting exogenous hormones into you're putting exogenous hormones into you're putting exogenous hormones into the body aka a hormone a synthetic the body aka a hormone a synthetic the body aka a hormone a synthetic hormone is getting put into your body hormone is getting put into your body hormone is getting put into your body aka your body didn't make it aka your body didn't make it aka your body didn't make it the body is looking at that like where the body is looking at that like where the body is looking at that like where the [  ] did that come from? And it has the [  ] did that come from? And it has the [  ] did that come from? And it has to figure out one how to use it. It has to figure out one how to use it. It has to figure out one how to use it. It has to figure out how to excrete the excess, to figure out how to excrete the excess, to figure out how to excrete the excess, but in return, your body is not going to but in return, your body is not going to but in return, your body is not going to produce those hormones on its own at all produce those hormones on its own at all produce those hormones on its own at all because it knows if you're putting it in because it knows if you're putting it in because it knows if you're putting it in and your body also makes it, it's going and your body also makes it, it's going and your body also makes it, it's going to be too much. So, you're actually to be too much. So, you're actually to be too much. So, you're actually creating a really bad cycle by putting creating a really bad cycle by putting creating a really bad cycle by putting these hormones in to the point that your these hormones in to the point that your these hormones in to the point that your body is no longer going to know how to body is no longer going to know how to body is no longer going to know how to manufacture these hormones on its own. manufacture these hormones on its own. manufacture these hormones on its own. And it gets to a point when you're on it And it gets to a point when you're on it And it gets to a point when you're on it for years that your body doesn't even for years that your body doesn't even for years that your body doesn't even know how to use what you're putting in know how to use what you're putting in know how to use what you're putting in anymore. Your body is really, really, anymore. Your body is really, really, anymore. Your body is really, really, really, really, really [  ] smart. really, really, really [  ] smart. really, really, really [  ] smart. And this is one of the reasons why we And this is one of the reasons why we And this is one of the reasons why we are such advocates for for foundational are such advocates for for foundational are such advocates for for foundational medicine. I don't even love the term medicine. I don't even love the term medicine. I don't even love the term functional anymore because it's about functional anymore because it's about functional anymore because it's about the foundation. How do you strip away the foundation. How do you strip away the foundation. How do you strip away the things that are creating the things that are creating the things that are creating interference interference interference with the foundation? The foundation is with the foundation? The foundation is with the foundation? The foundation is how well does your liver work? How well how well does your liver work? How well how well does your liver work? How well does your lymphatic system work? How does your lymphatic system work? How does your lymphatic system work? How well does your blood flow? Like how well well does your blood flow? Like how well well does your blood flow? Like how well do you feel mentally, emotionally, do you feel mentally, emotionally, do you feel mentally, emotionally, psychologically? Like if you can get the psychologically? Like if you can get the psychologically? Like if you can get the foundation to be really strong, you can foundation to be really strong, you can foundation to be really strong, you can strip away so many different symptoms strip away so many different symptoms strip away so many different symptoms and effects, but if you're constantly and effects, but if you're constantly and effects, but if you're constantly chasing the effects, which a lot of chasing the effects, which a lot of chasing the effects, which a lot of times functional medicine is still times functional medicine is still times functional medicine is still chasing effects, calling it root cause chasing effects, calling it root cause chasing effects, calling it root cause medicine, medicine, medicine, you're going to have problems. And you're going to have problems. And you're going to have problems. And hormones are always an effect. They're hormones are always an effect. They're hormones are always an effect. They're not a root cause. They're always, not a root cause. They're always, not a root cause. They're always, always, always an effect. And I whoever always, always an effect. And I whoever always, always an effect. And I whoever wants to [  ] disagree with me, go wants to [  ] disagree with me, go wants to [  ] disagree with me, go apply to be on the podcast because I apply to be on the podcast because I apply to be on the podcast because I would love to get into it with you would love to get into it with you would love to get into it with you because I have 15 years and I've never because I have 15 years and I've never because I have 15 years and I've never seen it be a root cause. seen it be a root cause. seen it be a root cause. How do you really feel about it? How do you really feel about it? How do you really feel about it? Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Because so many people functional, Because so many people functional, Because so many people functional, ladies and gentlemen, anger is one of ladies and gentlemen, anger is one of ladies and gentlemen, anger is one of the reasons that your liver gets [  ] the reasons that your liver gets [  ] the reasons that your liver gets [  ] up. up. up. Yeah. My liver will never be 100%. So Yeah. My liver will never be 100%. So Yeah. My liver will never be 100%. So here we are. Good thing I have amp coils here we are. Good thing I have amp coils here we are. Good thing I have amp coils and flex beams and supplements, you and flex beams and supplements, you and flex beams and supplements, you know. We're just trying to we're just know. We're just trying to we're just know. We're just trying to we're just trying to get by. Bam. Jerseys. I saw this post and it she was like, I saw this post and it she was like, I saw this post and it she was like, "I'm not angry. I'm just from Jersey." I "I'm not angry. I'm just from Jersey." I "I'm not angry. I'm just from Jersey." I was like, "I like you." was like, "I like you." was like, "I like you." And you're half Italian, half Puerto And you're half Italian, half Puerto And you're half Italian, half Puerto Rican, Scorpio. Rican, Scorpio. Rican, Scorpio. Yeah. There's a reason I'm uh pretty Yeah. There's a reason I'm uh pretty Yeah. There's a reason I'm uh pretty well in human behavior. well in human behavior. well in human behavior. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And also lost a little bit of your hair. And also lost a little bit of your hair. And also lost a little bit of your hair. And lost a little bit of my hair. And lost a little bit of my hair. And lost a little bit of my hair. So, So, So, we talked about testosterone. Is there we talked about testosterone. Is there we talked about testosterone. Is there more you want to chat about more you want to chat about more you want to chat about testosterone? I kind of move. testosterone? I kind of move. testosterone? I kind of move. I guess for for those of you trying to I guess for for those of you trying to I guess for for those of you trying to really just get like the the highle really just get like the the highle really just get like the the highle simple version of like how the heck does simple version of like how the heck does simple version of like how the heck does testosterone therapy, high stress, testosterone therapy, high stress, testosterone therapy, high stress, entrepreneurship make me more entrepreneurship make me more entrepreneurship make me more susceptible to cardiovascular disease, susceptible to cardiovascular disease, susceptible to cardiovascular disease, stroke, heart attack, etc. is stroke, heart attack, etc. is stroke, heart attack, etc. is essentially when you become more essentially when you become more essentially when you become more stressed and you flood your body with stressed and you flood your body with stressed and you flood your body with higher stress hormones, you increase higher stress hormones, you increase higher stress hormones, you increase your inflammation, aka your blood your inflammation, aka your blood your inflammation, aka your blood vessels become more constricted. So they vessels become more constricted. So they vessels become more constricted. So they narrow, they get smaller. narrow, they get smaller. narrow, they get smaller. So what happens is one just from that So what happens is one just from that So what happens is one just from that it's harder for your blood to flow it's harder for your blood to flow it's harder for your blood to flow through your cardiovascular system. Then through your cardiovascular system. Then through your cardiovascular system. Then if you go and you bring in certain toxic if you go and you bring in certain toxic if you go and you bring in certain toxic compounds, which unfortunately a lot of compounds, which unfortunately a lot of compounds, which unfortunately a lot of us are getting exposed to toxins on a us are getting exposed to toxins on a us are getting exposed to toxins on a daily basis from the Dunkin Donuts or daily basis from the Dunkin Donuts or daily basis from the Dunkin Donuts or the Starbucks coffee and you know the the Starbucks coffee and you know the the Starbucks coffee and you know the the the takeout food and the the the takeout food and the the the takeout food and the restaurants, etc. restaurants, etc. restaurants, etc. And then you want to go ahead and put And then you want to go ahead and put And then you want to go ahead and put testosterone therapy on top of that. You testosterone therapy on top of that. You testosterone therapy on top of that. You get a thickening. Oh, and caffeine, get a thickening. Oh, and caffeine, get a thickening. Oh, and caffeine, you get a thickening of your blood. So you get a thickening of your blood. So you get a thickening of your blood. So now you have these narrowed now you have these narrowed now you have these narrowed uh more constricted blood vessels with uh more constricted blood vessels with uh more constricted blood vessels with blood that went from the the uh blood that went from the the uh blood that went from the the uh viscosity of water to blood that now has viscosity of water to blood that now has viscosity of water to blood that now has become kind of like oil, like sludge. become kind of like oil, like sludge. become kind of like oil, like sludge. And this is making it actually more And this is making it actually more And this is making it actually more difficult for it to move through the difficult for it to move through the difficult for it to move through the cardiovascular system. So as soon as you cardiovascular system. So as soon as you cardiovascular system. So as soon as you have thick blood with narrowed uh have thick blood with narrowed uh have thick blood with narrowed uh arteries, you're going to have issues arteries, you're going to have issues arteries, you're going to have issues with how well the blood can go to with how well the blood can go to with how well the blood can go to certain parts of the body. And because certain parts of the body. And because certain parts of the body. And because your head is above your heart, your your head is above your heart, your your head is above your heart, your brain is above your heart, your blood brain is above your heart, your blood brain is above your heart, your blood has to go up against gravity. So, it is has to go up against gravity. So, it is has to go up against gravity. So, it is going to be harder. I should rephrase going to be harder. I should rephrase going to be harder. I should rephrase this. It's harder for your brain to get this. It's harder for your brain to get this. It's harder for your brain to get blood because it's above your heart and blood because it's above your heart and blood because it's above your heart and that's going in the direction against that's going in the direction against that's going in the direction against gravity in the first place. gravity in the first place. gravity in the first place. Now if you want to narrow the blood Now if you want to narrow the blood Now if you want to narrow the blood vessels and you want to create a thicker vessels and you want to create a thicker vessels and you want to create a thicker viscosity of your blood, it's even more viscosity of your blood, it's even more viscosity of your blood, it's even more difficult which is what creates a difficult which is what creates a difficult which is what creates a susceptibility susceptibility susceptibility for uh eskeemic stroke aka there is a for uh eskeemic stroke aka there is a for uh eskeemic stroke aka there is a part of the brain that doesn't get part of the brain that doesn't get part of the brain that doesn't get enough blood or oxygenation and it will enough blood or oxygenation and it will enough blood or oxygenation and it will become eskeemic essentially cells start become eskeemic essentially cells start become eskeemic essentially cells start to die. to die. to die. So this is one of the reasons why this So this is one of the reasons why this So this is one of the reasons why this combination of stress, combination of stress, combination of stress, testosterone therapy, caffeine, testosterone therapy, caffeine, testosterone therapy, caffeine, uh go go lifestyle is going to be most uh go go lifestyle is going to be most uh go go lifestyle is going to be most correlated with the possibility for correlated with the possibility for correlated with the possibility for stroke. stroke. stroke. They gave me a lot of gems in there. I'm They gave me a lot of gems in there. I'm They gave me a lot of gems in there. I'm excited. excited. excited. Did I win good? I usually look a little Did I win good? I usually look a little Did I win good? I usually look a little I mean it's Yeah, I won't. I'll be nice I mean it's Yeah, I won't. I'll be nice I mean it's Yeah, I won't. I'll be nice today. today. today. So the psychosmatic aspect of that um is So the psychosmatic aspect of that um is So the psychosmatic aspect of that um is really really fun because when you going really really fun because when you going really really fun because when you going back to what I said is like when you're back to what I said is like when you're back to what I said is like when you're optimally serving yourself you're in a optimally serving yourself you're in a optimally serving yourself you're in a state of the mind is in a state of state of the mind is in a state of state of the mind is in a state of equinimity that the support equals the equinimity that the support equals the equinimity that the support equals the challenge. But when you're not in that challenge. But when you're not in that challenge. But when you're not in that state of serving yourself, like when you state of serving yourself, like when you state of serving yourself, like when you serve yourself and like you don't care serve yourself and like you don't care serve yourself and like you don't care about pain, you don't care about about pain, you don't care about about pain, you don't care about pleasure, you're just in the zone. And pleasure, you're just in the zone. And pleasure, you're just in the zone. And but when you're not in the zone, you but when you're not in the zone, you but when you're not in the zone, you care about pain and you care about care about pain and you care about care about pain and you care about pleasure. You know, you're seeking to pleasure. You know, you're seeking to pleasure. You know, you're seeking to experience pleasure and avoid pain. And experience pleasure and avoid pain. And experience pleasure and avoid pain. And when we do that, especially as when we do that, especially as when we do that, especially as entrepreneurs, we tend to, like you entrepreneurs, we tend to, like you entrepreneurs, we tend to, like you said, have high stress. High stress is said, have high stress. High stress is said, have high stress. High stress is perception of the mind that there's more perception of the mind that there's more perception of the mind that there's more challenge than support. Otherwise, there challenge than support. Otherwise, there challenge than support. Otherwise, there wouldn't be high stress. When you have wouldn't be high stress. When you have wouldn't be high stress. When you have that, you have the basic constriction that, you have the basic constriction that, you have the basic constriction that you have more compression coming that you have more compression coming that you have more compression coming in. Hence, more challenge. The the in. Hence, more challenge. The the in. Hence, more challenge. The the brain, the mind is perceiving more brain, the mind is perceiving more brain, the mind is perceiving more challenge. challenge. challenge. When we have more challenge, When we have more challenge, When we have more challenge, we're in a gravitational state. You we're in a gravitational state. You we're in a gravitational state. You talked about blood flow being very hard talked about blood flow being very hard talked about blood flow being very hard for it to go up. It's because that when for it to go up. It's because that when for it to go up. It's because that when you look at metaphysically, energy is you look at metaphysically, energy is you look at metaphysically, energy is not created or destroyed. It's always not created or destroyed. It's always not created or destroyed. It's always just moving. So, we're either going down just moving. So, we're either going down just moving. So, we're either going down or up. or up. or up. You could think of it in a way as, you You could think of it in a way as, you You could think of it in a way as, you know, people talk about trying to become know, people talk about trying to become know, people talk about trying to become enlightened. When we become more enlightened. When we become more enlightened. When we become more enlightened, we become more radiant. We enlightened, we become more radiant. We enlightened, we become more radiant. We weigh less. But when we're less weigh less. But when we're less weigh less. But when we're less enlightened and we're thickheaded and enlightened and we're thickheaded and enlightened and we're thickheaded and we're we're more polarized in the mind, we're we're more polarized in the mind, we're we're more polarized in the mind, we're becoming more gravitational. we're becoming more gravitational. we're becoming more gravitational. So when we become more gravitational, we So when we become more gravitational, we So when we become more gravitational, we have more viscosity. The blood's harder. have more viscosity. The blood's harder. have more viscosity. The blood's harder. It's thicker. It's more sluggish going It's thicker. It's more sluggish going It's thicker. It's more sluggish going around. Like you talked about less around. Like you talked about less around. Like you talked about less oxygen, oxygen oxygen, oxygen oxygen, oxygen going up. And when we have less oxygen going up. And when we have less oxygen going up. And when we have less oxygen also that is connected to like you can also that is connected to like you can also that is connected to like you can think of like tumors um cancers etc that think of like tumors um cancers etc that think of like tumors um cancers etc that they all thrive they all thrive they all thrive cells. cells. cells. Yep. That changes in cells like you Yep. That changes in cells like you Yep. That changes in cells like you talked about with hormones before. talked about with hormones before. talked about with hormones before. Hormones is a biochemical process. One Hormones is a biochemical process. One Hormones is a biochemical process. One of the last things to change you go what of the last things to change you go what of the last things to change you go what changes that first? Well you have a changes that first? Well you have a changes that first? Well you have a nerve impulse electrical impulse to that nerve impulse electrical impulse to that nerve impulse electrical impulse to that organ to that cell that feeds it. But organ to that cell that feeds it. But organ to that cell that feeds it. But before the electrical pulse you have an before the electrical pulse you have an before the electrical pulse you have an energetic information that energetic energetic information that energetic energetic information that energetic information is the information coming information is the information coming information is the information coming from down from the mind. If the mind is from down from the mind. If the mind is from down from the mind. If the mind is in a state of balance well then the cell in a state of balance well then the cell in a state of balance well then the cell is balanced and the communication is balanced and the communication is balanced and the communication is balanced on the end resort the is balanced on the end resort the is balanced on the end resort the hormones. But if the mind is imbalanced, hormones. But if the mind is imbalanced, hormones. But if the mind is imbalanced, more challenge than support, high more challenge than support, high more challenge than support, high stress, then that information goes down stress, then that information goes down stress, then that information goes down to the cell and that creates a change in to the cell and that creates a change in to the cell and that creates a change in actually the electrical polarization of actually the electrical polarization of actually the electrical polarization of the cell. All cells communicate the cell. All cells communicate the cell. All cells communicate intercellularly with each other both intercellularly with each other both intercellularly with each other both through a sound wave and through through a sound wave and through through a sound wave and through electrical biopoton wave. And but when electrical biopoton wave. And but when electrical biopoton wave. And but when these charges get imbalanced, if they these charges get imbalanced, if they these charges get imbalanced, if they can become so imbalanced, well then it can become so imbalanced, well then it can become so imbalanced, well then it goes from aerobic to anorobic. And then goes from aerobic to anorobic. And then goes from aerobic to anorobic. And then we have tumor growth, we have cancer we have tumor growth, we have cancer we have tumor growth, we have cancer growth, we have an amazing environment growth, we have an amazing environment growth, we have an amazing environment for parasitic growth, for fungi growth, for parasitic growth, for fungi growth, for parasitic growth, for fungi growth, for mold growth. And then we start for mold growth. And then we start for mold growth. And then we start labeling these things as diseases. And labeling these things as diseases. And labeling these things as diseases. And we're supposed to be, you know, fighting we're supposed to be, you know, fighting we're supposed to be, you know, fighting the parasites, fighting the fungus, the parasites, fighting the fungus, the parasites, fighting the fungus, fighting the mold, fighting these things fighting the mold, fighting these things fighting the mold, fighting these things cuz that's the problem. That's not the cuz that's the problem. That's not the cuz that's the problem. That's not the [  ] problem. That's the effect that [  ] problem. That's the effect that [  ] problem. That's the effect that we're seeing. And we still have to deal we're seeing. And we still have to deal we're seeing. And we still have to deal with those things. But those things are with those things. But those things are with those things. But those things are the feedback mechanism for us to finally the feedback mechanism for us to finally the feedback mechanism for us to finally realize that, hey, we're not in realize that, hey, we're not in realize that, hey, we're not in alignment with serving ourselves. We're alignment with serving ourselves. We're alignment with serving ourselves. We're not loving ourselves. And when we can not loving ourselves. And when we can not loving ourselves. And when we can get back in alignment, decrease that get back in alignment, decrease that get back in alignment, decrease that stress response that started this, you stress response that started this, you stress response that started this, you know, the whole disaster setup to have a know, the whole disaster setup to have a know, the whole disaster setup to have a stroke, to have brain issue, heart stroke, to have brain issue, heart stroke, to have brain issue, heart issue, libido issue, issue, libido issue, issue, libido issue, and we remove that causation. We fix and we remove that causation. We fix and we remove that causation. We fix that, bring that back into a balance, that, bring that back into a balance, that, bring that back into a balance, serving ourselves, being more aligned serving ourselves, being more aligned serving ourselves, being more aligned with our authentic self. And then on with our authentic self. And then on with our authentic self. And then on because we created, you know, because we created, you know, because we created, you know, destruction, we damaged tissue, etc. We destruction, we damaged tissue, etc. We destruction, we damaged tissue, etc. We do need to go back and repair that, help do need to go back and repair that, help do need to go back and repair that, help connect the communication pathways so connect the communication pathways so connect the communication pathways so everything can communicate. Like you everything can communicate. Like you everything can communicate. Like you said, the body is so resilient. It's said, the body is so resilient. It's said, the body is so resilient. It's amazing what it can do. You just have to amazing what it can do. You just have to amazing what it can do. You just have to get it to be able to communicate again. get it to be able to communicate again. get it to be able to communicate again. You know, You know, You know, you've been giving it hormone therapy you've been giving it hormone therapy you've been giving it hormone therapy for a long time. It's too much support. for a long time. It's too much support. for a long time. It's too much support. So, it's not going to like if you go to So, it's not going to like if you go to So, it's not going to like if you go to a gym and you don't have resistance, a gym and you don't have resistance, a gym and you don't have resistance, well, muscles aren't going to grow. well, muscles aren't going to grow. well, muscles aren't going to grow. You're not going to get stronger. If You're not going to get stronger. If You're not going to get stronger. If you're taking hormone therapy, it's not you're taking hormone therapy, it's not you're taking hormone therapy, it's not going to make hormones anymore. So, going to make hormones anymore. So, going to make hormones anymore. So, it makes the whole system weaker. it makes the whole system weaker. it makes the whole system weaker. Yeah. You have to teach the body how to Yeah. You have to teach the body how to Yeah. You have to teach the body how to reconnect. A lot of that um is cellto reconnect. A lot of that um is cellto reconnect. A lot of that um is cellto cell connection, but also um from the cell connection, but also um from the cell connection, but also um from the brain reconnecting with the cells, brain reconnecting with the cells, brain reconnecting with the cells, tissues, and organs as well. tissues, and organs as well. tissues, and organs as well. So, I want to just kind of wrap us up So, I want to just kind of wrap us up So, I want to just kind of wrap us up with two different comments with that. with two different comments with that. with two different comments with that. So, first and foremost, for those of you So, first and foremost, for those of you So, first and foremost, for those of you that just were like, "Wait, what?" with that just were like, "Wait, what?" with that just were like, "Wait, what?" with the whole um thing that you described the whole um thing that you described the whole um thing that you described about about about the opportunity for now fungus to grow the opportunity for now fungus to grow the opportunity for now fungus to grow and bacteria to grow, etc. I want to and bacteria to grow, etc. I want to and bacteria to grow, etc. I want to kind of give the cliffnotes version of kind of give the cliffnotes version of kind of give the cliffnotes version of that is just for those of you that are that is just for those of you that are that is just for those of you that are trying to wrap your head around that trying to wrap your head around that trying to wrap your head around that because in our practice, yes, we do help because in our practice, yes, we do help because in our practice, yes, we do help people detox from certain things. But people detox from certain things. But people detox from certain things. But again, we always look at hierarchy again, we always look at hierarchy again, we always look at hierarchy because we in the time period that we because we in the time period that we because we in the time period that we have been working with clients, we have have been working with clients, we have have been working with clients, we have had certain individuals that we've gone had certain individuals that we've gone had certain individuals that we've gone in and tried to help them, you know, in and tried to help them, you know, in and tried to help them, you know, target parasites or or target candida, target parasites or or target candida, target parasites or or target candida, target um SIBO, small intestinal target um SIBO, small intestinal target um SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. And some people bacterial overgrowth. And some people bacterial overgrowth. And some people have had success and some people have have had success and some people have have had success and some people have not. And the reason being is because not. And the reason being is because not. And the reason being is because usually there is something that is more usually there is something that is more usually there is something that is more foundational to as to why those foundational to as to why those foundational to as to why those organisms have the opportunity to be in organisms have the opportunity to be in organisms have the opportunity to be in that area and also have the opportunity that area and also have the opportunity that area and also have the opportunity to grow and multiply. And when it comes to grow and multiply. And when it comes to grow and multiply. And when it comes to the mental the psychossematic aspects to the mental the psychossematic aspects to the mental the psychossematic aspects of why there's a level of being out of of why there's a level of being out of of why there's a level of being out of alignment, being disempowered because alignment, being disempowered because alignment, being disempowered because you're serving others or you're serving you're serving others or you're serving you're serving others or you're serving externally more than you're serving externally more than you're serving externally more than you're serving yourself. And this allows you to yourself. And this allows you to yourself. And this allows you to essentially be taken over and hijacked. essentially be taken over and hijacked. essentially be taken over and hijacked. So that's kind of like a very very So that's kind of like a very very So that's kind of like a very very simple version of simple version of simple version of I want to add one thing to that. It's I want to add one thing to that. It's I want to add one thing to that. It's it's not always just serving others, it's not always just serving others, it's not always just serving others, but it could be serving injected values. but it could be serving injected values. but it could be serving injected values. Yes. Yes. Yes. You know, beliefs You know, beliefs You know, beliefs that we've been taught that this is what that we've been taught that this is what that we've been taught that this is what we need to do, this is what we should be we need to do, this is what we should be we need to do, this is what we should be doing, doing, doing, this is what it is to be a good person. this is what it is to be a good person. this is what it is to be a good person.
