as we get into really being able to but as we get into really being able to but as we get into really being able to peel away the layers first and foremost peel away the layers first and foremost peel away the layers first and foremost I want you guys just to have a little I want you guys just to have a little I want you guys just to have a little bit of background on me and Who I am bit of background on me and Who I am bit of background on me and Who I am but dr. Nick and myself we have been but dr. Nick and myself we have been but dr. Nick and myself we have been putting on these webinars for almost a putting on these webinars for almost a putting on these webinars for almost a year now I cannot believe that we've year now I cannot believe that we've year now I cannot believe that we've been doing webinars for a year and we been doing webinars for a year and we been doing webinars for a year and we have covered literally so many different have covered literally so many different have covered literally so many different types of topics and we have covered a types of topics and we have covered a types of topics and we have covered a lot of topics that explain some aspects lot of topics that explain some aspects lot of topics that explain some aspects of mental health but how this correlates of mental health but how this correlates of mental health but how this correlates to brain injury and how this can to brain injury and how this can to brain injury and how this can correlate to autoimmune conditions and correlate to autoimmune conditions and correlate to autoimmune conditions and how this can correlate to infections so how this can correlate to infections so how this can correlate to infections so to not touch all members and how we can to not touch all members and how we can to not touch all members and how we can correlate to depression and anxiety but correlate to depression and anxiety but correlate to depression and anxiety but we're also going to be talking about how we're also going to be talking about how we're also going to be talking about how different emotional experiences can also different emotional experiences can also different emotional experiences can also be playing a very significant role in be playing a very significant role in be playing a very significant role in this as well this as well this as well so as we kind of get into this you know so as we kind of get into this you know so as we kind of get into this you know first and foremost just to kind of first and foremost just to kind of first and foremost just to kind of understand our you know our reasoning understand our you know our reasoning understand our you know our reasoning behind these webinars and even the behind these webinars and even the behind these webinars and even the podcast that we do is that we kept podcast that we do is that we kept podcast that we do is that we kept questioning the norm and we kept questioning the norm and we kept questioning the norm and we kept questioning the things that we were questioning the things that we were questioning the things that we were being taught in school and even being being taught in school and even being being taught in school and even being taught beyond school and it really felt taught beyond school and it really felt taught beyond school and it really felt that when it really came down to how that when it really came down to how that when it really came down to how health care was structured it was all health care was structured it was all health care was structured it was all about you know science data and research about you know science data and research about you know science data and research and then when you take science data and and then when you take science data and and then when you take science data and research and you apply it to real life research and you apply it to real life research and you apply it to real life and grilled people it doesn't always and grilled people it doesn't always and grilled people it doesn't always match up and in addition to that we've match up and in addition to that we've match up and in addition to that we've taken the world of psychology and taken the world of psychology and taken the world of psychology and psychiatry and we've separated out from psychiatry and we've separated out from psychiatry and we've separated out from neurological conditions and we've neurological conditions and we've neurological conditions and we've separated it out from autoimmune separated it out from autoimmune separated it out from autoimmune conditions and immunology and conditions and immunology and conditions and immunology and gastroenterology and we assume that gastroenterology and we assume that gastroenterology and we assume that dysfunction that can happen in all of dysfunction that can happen in all of dysfunction that can happen in all of these different organ systems will not these different organ systems will not these different organ systems will not play a role in how we wake up and feel play a role in how we wake up and feel play a role in how we wake up and feel every day and that couldn't be farther every day and that couldn't be farther every day and that couldn't be farther from the truth so we have really gone from the truth so we have really gone from the truth so we have really gone against the grain to leverage better against the grain to leverage better against the grain to leverage better testing and ask better questions so that testing and ask better questions so that testing and ask better questions so that we can really look at you as a whole we can really look at you as a whole we can really look at you as a whole person and we look at how your brain and person and we look at how your brain and person and we look at how your brain and your body are communicating how your your body are communicating how your your body are communicating how your organs and your neurological system are organs and your neurological system are organs and your neurological system are communicating because one of the things communicating because one of the things communicating because one of the things that you're going to take away from this that you're going to take away from this that you're going to take away from this presentation is that everything is presentation is that everything is presentation is that everything is connected and you can easily be dealing connected and you can easily be dealing connected and you can easily be dealing with a gastro a gastrointestinal problem with a gastro a gastrointestinal problem with a gastro a gastrointestinal problem that could be the root cause as to why that could be the root cause as to why that could be the root cause as to why you're feeling so many highs and lows you're feeling so many highs and lows you're feeling so many highs and lows with your mood or your mental with your mood or your mental with your mood or your mental capabilities so for myself I'm an capabilities so for myself I'm an capabilities so for myself I'm an integrative physician I don't only work integrative physician I don't only work integrative physician I don't only work with depression and anxiety I work with with depression and anxiety I work with with depression and anxiety I work with a variety of different conditions and a variety of different conditions and a variety of different conditions and the reason being is because I have the reason being is because I have the reason being is because I have really made it my life's work to see how really made it my life's work to see how really made it my life's work to see how everything is connected and to see how everything is connected and to see how everything is connected and to see how someone can be dealing with such someone can be dealing with such someone can be dealing with such debilitating symptoms and you can easily debilitating symptoms and you can easily debilitating symptoms and you can easily be trying to deal with the symptoms but be trying to deal with the symptoms but be trying to deal with the symptoms but you don't get anywhere because the you don't get anywhere because the you don't get anywhere because the symptoms have actually nothing to do symptoms have actually nothing to do symptoms have actually nothing to do with the root cause and when it comes to with the root cause and when it comes to with the root cause and when it comes to really evaluating emotions and really evaluating emotions and really evaluating emotions and evaluating how those emotions are evaluating how those emotions are evaluating how those emotions are affecting the body most practitioners affecting the body most practitioners affecting the body most practitioners are completely unaware of how you can are completely unaware of how you can are completely unaware of how you can actually see these things or see actually see these things or see actually see these things or see patterns within the body and that's some patterns within the body and that's some patterns within the body and that's some of their really the fascinating of their really the fascinating of their really the fascinating we're going to talk about tonight is we're going to talk about tonight is we're going to talk about tonight is being able to understand certain being able to understand certain being able to understand certain emotions are actually tied to certain emotions are actually tied to certain emotions are actually tied to certain organs and tie to certain types of organs and tie to certain types of organs and tie to certain types of symptoms and you can easily have these symptoms and you can easily have these symptoms and you can easily have these different physical symptoms that are different physical symptoms that are different physical symptoms that are actually a result of different stressors actually a result of different stressors actually a result of different stressors mental and emotional structures included mental and emotional structures included mental and emotional structures included so for myself I will tell you is I did so for myself I will tell you is I did so for myself I will tell you is I did not necessarily get into this world not necessarily get into this world not necessarily get into this world because I was super sick and I was because I was super sick and I was because I was super sick and I was barely able to function and then finally barely able to function and then finally barely able to function and then finally an integrative her functional approach an integrative her functional approach an integrative her functional approach helps me but I will tell you is that helps me but I will tell you is that helps me but I will tell you is that when I started my own journey and I when I started my own journey and I when I started my own journey and I started to really explore I started to started to really explore I started to started to really explore I started to do better testing and try to understand do better testing and try to understand do better testing and try to understand was there anything going on in my body was there anything going on in my body was there anything going on in my body that I was unaware of and I started to that I was unaware of and I started to that I was unaware of and I started to really reveal that I had a lot of things really reveal that I had a lot of things really reveal that I had a lot of things going on but the more fascinating part going on but the more fascinating part going on but the more fascinating part of that was that most of my symptoms of that was that most of my symptoms of that was that most of my symptoms were mild but they also came and went were mild but they also came and went were mild but they also came and went but in addition to that is most of my but in addition to that is most of my but in addition to that is most of my symptoms I normalized and all of you are symptoms I normalized and all of you are symptoms I normalized and all of you are doing the same thing your kids are doing doing the same thing your kids are doing doing the same thing your kids are doing the same thing your friends are doing the same thing your friends are doing the same thing your friends are doing the same thing your family members are the same thing your family members are the same thing your family members are doing the same thing so to be depressed doing the same thing so to be depressed doing the same thing so to be depressed or anxious sometimes most of us consider or anxious sometimes most of us consider or anxious sometimes most of us consider that to be normal now and anxiety is that to be normal now and anxiety is that to be normal now and anxiety is almost becoming such a common term that almost becoming such a common term that almost becoming such a common term that is coming up in most of the is coming up in most of the is coming up in most of the conversations that you're having and conversations that you're having and conversations that you're having and we're calling a heart flutter anxiety we're calling a heart flutter anxiety we're calling a heart flutter anxiety we're calling you know getting shaky we're calling you know getting shaky we're calling you know getting shaky anxiety we're calling worrying anxiety anxiety we're calling worrying anxiety anxiety we're calling worrying anxiety we're calling you know washing our hands we're calling you know washing our hands we're calling you know washing our hands a bunch of times anxiety we're calling a bunch of times anxiety we're calling a bunch of times anxiety we're calling everything anxiety nowadays but we're everything anxiety nowadays but we're everything anxiety nowadays but we're failing to actually look at what is the failing to actually look at what is the failing to actually look at what is the root what is the cause root what is the cause root what is the cause to this and it's very fascinating to this and it's very fascinating to this and it's very fascinating because when I started to do better because when I started to do better because when I started to do better testing on myself and then all of this testing on myself and then all of this testing on myself and then all of this you know this term anxiety came out and you know this term anxiety came out and you know this term anxiety came out and people were coming through my people were coming through my people were coming through my as a practitioner and describing what as a practitioner and describing what as a practitioner and describing what anxiety was and I almost was laughing anxiety was and I almost was laughing anxiety was and I almost was laughing thinking like man I must have been thinking like man I must have been thinking like man I must have been anxious my whole life but I just powered anxious my whole life but I just powered anxious my whole life but I just powered through because I didn't know any through because I didn't know any through because I didn't know any different and I just kind of felt like different and I just kind of felt like different and I just kind of felt like that's what I had to do but when I that's what I had to do but when I that's what I had to do but when I started to improve my house and feel started to improve my house and feel started to improve my house and feel better what I realized is that getting better what I realized is that getting better what I realized is that getting up and worrying about everything wasn't up and worrying about everything wasn't up and worrying about everything wasn't actually normal having Arana actually normal having Arana actually normal having Arana random heart flutter due to getting random heart flutter due to getting random heart flutter due to getting nervous that wasn't normal feeling low nervous that wasn't normal feeling low nervous that wasn't normal feeling low close to my period wasn't normal close to my period wasn't normal close to my period wasn't normal I realized that all of those things were I realized that all of those things were I realized that all of those things were actually not normal but most normal actually not normal but most normal actually not normal but most normal [Music] [Music] [Music] probably too much Oh yes I just want you to understand it's yes I just want you to understand it's yes I just want you to understand it's not normal these are not normal not normal these are not normal not normal these are not normal physiological responses there are physiological responses there are physiological responses there are definitely going to be reasons why definitely going to be reasons why definitely going to be reasons why they're having these highs and lows and they're having these highs and lows and they're having these highs and lows and tonight we're going to explore what tonight we're going to explore what tonight we're going to explore what those things actually are so I know that those things actually are so I know that those things actually are so I know that we are ten past seven and there are a we are ten past seven and there are a we are ten past seven and there

that I want you guys to take away thing that I want you guys to take away is that it is not your fault that you've is that it is not your fault that you've is that it is not your fault that you've

your own figure out your own puzzle your own health puzzle because there is so much health puzzle because there is so much health puzzle because there is so much mixed information out there and we are mixed information out there and we are mixed information out there and we are again we're we're slapping this label of again we're we're slapping this label of again we're we're slapping this label of depression and anxiety on everyone and depression and anxiety on everyone and depression and anxiety on everyone and we're just like oh just Medicaid or oh we're just like oh just Medicaid or oh we're just like oh just Medicaid or oh you know it's just genetic or oh it's you know it's just genetic or oh it's you know it's just genetic or oh it's just in your head or oh you know it's just in your

what that reason is but that is where integrative reason is but that is where integrative reason is but that is where integrative medicine comes in is that it's not about medicine comes in is that it's not about medicine comes in is that it's not about my opinion of me saying hey I think my opinion of me saying hey I think my opinion of me saying hey I think you're inside you're inside you're inside from this it's actually about leveraging from this it's actually about leveraging from this it's actually about leveraging better more advanced testing that gives better more advanced testing that gives better more advanced testing that gives you insight of why the heck you feel the you insight of why the heck you feel the you insight of why the heck you feel the way you do and it allows

anxiety that doesn't allow us to even get out of that doesn't allow us to even get out of that doesn't allow us to even get out of our car our homes these are things that our car our homes these are things that our car our homes these are things that are a result of dysfunction and that are a result of dysfunction and that are a result of dysfunction and that dysfunction it's different for everyone dysfunction it's different for everyone dysfunction it's different for everyone and I just want to like circle this back and I just want to like circle this back and I just want to like circle this back to the most basic basic principle or I to the most basic basic principle or I to the most basic basic principle or I should say basic understanding of the should say basic understanding of the should say basic understanding of the body is that when we take apart our body is that when we take apart our body is that when we take apart our healthcare system and we take apart and healthcare system and we take apart and healthcare system and we take apart and we separate psychology and psychiatry we separate psychology and psychiatry we separate psychology and psychiatry from immunology and gastroenterology and from immunology and gastroenterology and from immunology and gastroenterology and neurology and we separate everything out neurology and we separate everything out neurology and we separate everything out we often are going to feel a lot of we often are going to feel a lot of we often are going to feel a lot of difficulty with getting answers and difficulty with getting answers and difficulty with getting answers and unfortunately the doctors are getting unfortunately the doctors are getting unfortunately the doctors are getting having difficulty with getting answers having difficulty with getting answers having difficulty with getting answers but they're also just assuming that but they're also just assuming that but they're also just assuming that everything is working independently but everything is working independently but everything is working independently but if we actually look at basic physiology if we actually look at basic physiology if we actually look at basic physiology and we look at the physiology of your and we look at the physiology of your and we look at the physiology of your gut your gut is where 90 to 95 percent gut your gut is where 90 to 95 percent gut your gut is where 90 to 95 percent of your feel-good hormone called of your feel-good hormone called of your feel-good hormone called serotonin is made so the serotonin is serotonin is made so the serotonin is serotonin is made so the serotonin is going to be made by the gut but it also going to be made by the gut but it also going to be made by the gut but it also has to be picked up by the receptors in has to be picked up by the receptors in has to be picked up by the receptors in the brain in order to actually help you the brain in order to actually help you the brain in order to actually help you feel good well balance and drop or maybe feel good well balance and drop or maybe feel good well balance and drop or maybe you just have heartburn and indigestion you just have heartburn and indigestion you just have heartburn and indigestion then there is a strong probability that then there is a strong probability that then there is a strong probability that you are not producing serotonin you are not producing serotonin you are not producing serotonin appropriately but then on top of that appropriately but then on top of that appropriately but then on top of that maybe you're getting migraines and maybe maybe you're getting migraines and maybe maybe you're getting migraines and maybe you're getting headaches or maybe you you're getting headaches or maybe you you're getting headaches or maybe you have a lot of brain fog or maybe you have a lot of brain fog or maybe you have a lot of brain fog or maybe you have bad have bad have bad blood sugar issues and all of those blood sugar issues and all of those blood sugar issues and all of those factors are actually telling us that factors are actually telling us that factors are actually telling us that your brain might not be using the your brain might not be using the your brain might not be using the serotonin properly so when you serotonin properly so when you serotonin properly so when you understand how these systems are working understand how these systems are working understand how these systems are working together and you understand basic together and you understand basic together and you understand basic physiology that's when you can actually physiology that's when you can actually physiology that's when you can actually start to understand that you're not just start to understand that you're not just start to understand that you're not just a big old mess that nobody can help and a big old mess that nobody can help and a big old mess that nobody can help and now you only have the option of now you only have the option of now you only have the option of antidepressants or xanax that you antidepressants or xanax that you antidepressants or xanax that you actually could potentially have a gut actually could potentially have a gut actually could potentially have a gut issue that's not being managed properly issue that's not being managed properly issue that's not being managed properly that is the root cause to your that is the root cause to your that is the root cause to your depression or anxiety so I am NOT depression or anxiety so I am NOT depression or anxiety so I am NOT sitting here telling you that every sitting here telling you that every sitting here telling you that every single person that has depression or single person that has depression or single person that has depression or anxiety has a gut issue but I will tell anxiety has a gut issue but I will tell anxiety has a gut issue but I will tell you that if nobody has evaluated that you that if nobody has evaluated that you that if nobody has evaluated that system and nobody has looked at that system and nobody has looked at that system and nobody has looked at that system then easily you're being managed system then easily you're being managed system then easily you're being managed for depression by giving yourself an for depression by giving yourself an for depression by giving yourself an antidepressant but in reality all you're antidepressant but in reality all you're antidepressant but in reality all you're doing is you're creating a band-aid doing is you're creating a band-aid doing is you're creating a band-aid effect and the root cause is fix to get effect and the root cause is fix to get effect and the root cause is fix to get the gut issues and then you might the gut issues and then you might the gut issues and then you might actually see that your depression actually see that your depression actually see that your depression dissipates so this is just again one dissipates so this is just again one dissipates so this is just again one piece of the puzzle here but when we piece of the puzzle here but when we piece of the puzzle here but when we don't look at the big picture and we don't look at the big picture and we don't look at the big picture and we don't look at how everything is working don't look at how everything is working don't look at how everything is working with each other then it's very very with each other then it's very very with each other then it's very very difficult for us to figure out the root difficult for us to figure out the root difficult for us to figure out the root cause and all we're actually doing is cause and all we're actually doing is cause and all we're actually doing is we're using medication and other we're using medication and other we're using medication and other therapies to act as a band-aid effect therapies to act as a band-aid effect therapies to act as a band-aid effect and we're not getting anywhere and this and we're not getting anywhere and this and we're not getting anywhere and this is why people often change their is why people often change their is why people often change their medications or add medications or they medications or add medications or they medications or add medications or they start a medication or depression and start a medication or depression and start a medication or depression and then they end up on a medication for then they end up on a medication for then they end up on a medication for anxiety or accommodation so when it anxiety or accommodation so when it anxiety or accommodation so when it comes to some of these things that are comes to some of these things that are comes to some of these things that are often mind-blowing to our patients is often mind-blowing to our patients is often mind-blowing to our patients is that one yeah serotonin most of it is that one yeah serotonin most of it is that one yeah serotonin most of it is made in your gut so if you have a made in your gut so if you have a made in your gut so if you have a mismanage gut issue and you also have mismanage gut issue and you also have mismanage gut issue and you also have depression then you might be able to depression then you might be able to depression then you might be able to actually see your depression improve actually see your depression improve actually see your depression improve just by getting your gut working better just by getting your gut working better just by getting your gut working better another thing too is that most of you another thing too is that most of you another thing too is that most of you walking around with the blood sugar walking around with the blood sugar walking around with the blood sugar rollercoaster and I will tell you rollercoaster and I will tell you rollercoaster and I will tell you exactly what that looks like so you wake exactly what that looks like so you wake exactly what that looks like so you wake up in the morning you're not super up in the morning you're not super up in the morning you're not super hungry so you usually have a cup of hungry so you usually have a cup of hungry so you usually have a cup of coffee then that kind of you know coffee then that kind of you know coffee then that kind of you know suppresses your appetite so then you end suppresses your appetite so then you end suppresses your appetite so then you end up going eleven twelve maybe one o'clock up going eleven twelve maybe one o'clock up going eleven twelve maybe one o'clock and now you're starving and now you're starving and now you're starving so now it's like ride-or-die give me so now it's like ride-or-die give me so now it's like ride-or-die give me something to eat something to eat something to eat ASAP and you might be on the go kind of ASAP and you might be on the go kind of ASAP and you might be on the go kind of lifestyle so you're gonna grab something lifestyle so you're gonna grab something lifestyle so you're gonna grab something you know out but it's usually going to you know out but it's usually going to you know out but it's usually going to be carbohydrate paste maybe you're going be carbohydrate paste maybe you're going be carbohydrate paste maybe you're going the healthier route and you're getting the healthier route and you're getting the healthier route and you're getting sushi that has a boatload of white rice sushi that has a boatload of white rice sushi that has a boatload of white rice maybe you're doing a sandwich maybe maybe you're doing a sandwich maybe maybe you're doing a sandwich maybe you're getting pizza maybe you're you're getting pizza maybe you're you're getting pizza maybe you're getting a burger but usually your body getting a burger but usually your body getting a burger but usually your body now intuitively wants cards because your now intuitively wants cards because your now intuitively wants cards because your blood sugar is so bottom down so then blood sugar is so bottom down so then blood sugar is so bottom down so then you eat and you feel like a little burst you eat and you feel like a little burst you eat and you feel like a little burst of energy but then you crash and now you of energy but then you crash and now you of energy but then you crash and now you need midday coffee then dinner rolls need midday coffee then dinner rolls need midday coffee then dinner rolls around you're starving again so maybe around you're starving again so maybe around you're starving again so maybe you're snacking on cheese and crackers you're snacking on cheese and crackers you're snacking on cheese and crackers you have your dinner and now you want you have your dinner and now you want you have your dinner and now you want something sweet so I say this because something sweet so I say this because something sweet so I say this because majority of my patients relate to that majority of my patients relate to that majority of my patients relate to that and what that is is low blood sugar so and what that is is low blood sugar so and what that is is low blood sugar so this is not about are you pre diabetic this is not about are you pre diabetic this is not about are you pre diabetic diabetic this is do you also have low diabetic this is do you also have low diabetic this is do you also have low blood sugar that as soon as you eat blood sugar that as soon as you eat blood sugar that as soon as you eat something you spike then you crash and something you spike then you crash and something you spike then you crash and then you spike and then you crash that then you spike and then you crash that then you spike and then you crash that rollercoaster is not only going to rollercoaster is not only going to rollercoaster is not only going to affect the fuel that your brain is affect the fuel that your brain is affect the fuel that your brain is getting but it actually affects your getting but it actually affects your getting but it actually affects your frontal lobe and your frontal lobe is frontal lobe and your frontal lobe is frontal lobe and your frontal lobe is where those little receptors are for where those little receptors are for where those little receptors are for your dopamine as well as your serotonin your dopamine as well as your serotonin your dopamine as well as your serotonin so again for those of you that have been so again for those of you that have been so again for those of you that have been listening since the beginning is this is listening since the beginning is this is listening since the beginning is this is not just about the production of not just about the production of not just about the production of serotonin and dopamine - of your serotonin and dopamine - of your serotonin and dopamine - of your feel-good hormones this is also not feel-good hormones this is also not feel-good hormones this is also not about putting it in through a pill this about putting it in through a pill this about putting it in through a pill this is about can your brain use it and if is about can your brain use it and if is about can your brain use it and if you have bad blood sugar chances are you have bad blood sugar chances are you have bad blood sugar chances are your brain can't use it so you can take your brain can't use it so you can take your brain can't use it so you can take all the antidepressants and you'll feel all the antidepressants and you'll feel all the antidepressants and you'll feel maybe a little bit better but you'll hit maybe a little bit better but you'll hit maybe a little bit better but you'll hit a plateau a plateau a plateau and then he'll change medications you'll and then he'll change medications you'll and then he'll change medications you'll raise the dose you'll add a medication raise the dose you'll add a medication raise the dose you'll add a medication and then you're just gonna feel like and then you're just gonna feel like and then you're just gonna feel like you're on this merry-go-round of why you're on this merry-go-round of why you're on this merry-go-round of why can't I get better what is wrong with me can't I get better what is wrong with me can't I get better what is wrong with me and then you're gonna start having and then you're gonna start having and then you're gonna start having internal negative self-talk thinking internal negative self-talk thinking internal negative self-talk thinking that there's something wrong with you that there's something wrong with you that there's something wrong with you and why can't you just move on why can't and why can't you just move on why can't and why can't you just move on why can't you just get over it why can't you cope you just get over it why can't you cope you just get over it why can't you cope like other people so when it comes to like other people so when it comes to like other people so when it comes to other components that can be part of the other components that can be part of the other components that can be part of the puzzle that are common but probably not puzzle that are common but probably not puzzle that are common but probably not as common as the blood sugar issues is as common as the blood sugar issues is as common as the blood sugar issues is that you can have infections in your that you can have infections in your that you can have infections in your brain and people are not being regularly brain and people are not being regularly brain and people are not being regularly screened for this and we're almost screened for this and we're almost screened for this and we're almost thinking that this is crazy rare that oh thinking that this is crazy rare that oh thinking that this is crazy rare that oh gosh an infection your brain is that gosh an infection your brain is that gosh an infection your brain is that even possible but we have this new even possible but we have this new even possible but we have this new diagnosis and kids called pandas diagnosis and kids called pandas diagnosis and kids called pandas it's a pediatric autoimmune it's a pediatric autoimmune it's a pediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric stress disorder so I neuropsychiatric stress disorder so I neuropsychiatric stress disorder so I may have said that wrong but that's what may have said that wrong but that's what may have said that wrong but that's what it is it's when strep gets into the it is it's when strep gets into the it is it's when strep gets into the brain and it's thought to mainly be a brain and it's thought to mainly be a brain and it's thought to mainly be a pediatric issue a problem with kids but pediatric issue a problem with kids but pediatric issue a problem with kids but I actually will regularly screen for I actually will regularly screen for I actually will regularly screen for strep in the brain and most adults also strep in the brain and most adults also strep in the brain and most adults also have strep in the brain yes guys I know have strep in the brain yes guys I know have strep in the brain yes guys I know you're all thinking strep what is she you're all thinking strep what is she you're all thinking strep what is she talking about struggling in your throat talking about struggling in your throat talking about struggling in your throat you can have strep in your sinuses you you can have strep in your sinuses you you can have strep in your sinuses you can have strep in your mouth you can can have strep in your mouth you can can have strep in your mouth you can have strep in your glands have strep in your glands have strep in your glands you could have strep in your lymph nodes you could have strep in your lymph nodes you could have strep in your lymph nodes and you can have strep in your brain you and you can have strep in your brain you and you can have strep in your brain you could have strep in your knees most could have strep in your knees most could have strep in your knees most people that we work with that I've have people that we work with that I've have people that we work with that I've have reoccurring knee pain that it doesn't go reoccurring knee pain that it doesn't go reoccurring knee pain that it doesn't go away they've had surgery they've had away they've had surgery they've had away they've had surgery they've had meniscus repair they have had scopes meniscus repair they have had scopes meniscus repair they have had scopes they've had physical therapy and their they've had physical therapy and their they've had physical therapy and their knees don't get better most of the time knees don't get better most of the time knees don't get better most of the time it's trapped by the way so you can it's trapped by the way so you can it's trapped by the way so you can easily have an infection in your brain easily have an infection in your brain easily have an infection in your brain the other most common infections I see the other most common infections I see the other most common infections I see in the brain is herpes simplex virus yes in the brain is herpes simplex virus yes in the brain is herpes simplex virus yes cold sores think about how close your cold sores think about how close your cold sores think about how close your mouth is to your brain you can easily mouth is to your brain you can easily mouth is to your brain you can easily have that virus getting into the blood have that virus getting into the blood have that virus getting into the blood which mobilizes up into the brain you which mobilizes up into the brain you which mobilizes up into the brain you can get Coxsackie in the brain can get Coxsackie in the brain can get Coxsackie in the brain Zacky is the condition that your kids Zacky is the condition that your kids Zacky is the condition that your kids get when they get hands button Mouse and get when they get hands button Mouse and get when they get hands button Mouse and your sores so what you need to your sores so what you need to your sores so what you need to understand is that again the reason I do understand is that again the reason I do understand is that again the reason I do what I do is because nothing looks like what I do is because nothing looks like what I do is because nothing looks like a textbook people come in and they go oh a textbook people come in and they go oh a textbook people come in and they go oh I don't get cold sores and I'm like well I don't get cold sores and I'm like well I don't get cold sores and I'm like well you technically have herpes simplex you technically have herpes simplex you technically have herpes simplex that's coming up in all of my testing that's coming up in all of my testing that's coming up in all of my testing including your blood work and the like including your blood work and the like including your blood work and the like how is that possible I'm like do you get how is that possible I'm like do you get how is that possible I'm like do you get canker sores oh yeah it kicker sores all canker sores oh yeah it kicker sores all canker sores oh yeah it kicker sores all the time so you can easily have canker the time so you can easily have canker the time so you can easily have canker sores and just not cold sores it's just sores and just not cold sores it's just sores and just not cold sores it's just a different location same thing herpes a different location same thing herpes a different location same thing herpes simplex when using those giant cold simplex when using those giant cold simplex when using those giant cold sores their sores think about Crohn's sores their sores think about Crohn's sores their sores think about Crohn's disease Crohn's disease are sores disease Crohn's disease are sores disease Crohn's disease are sores ulcerations in the gut so herpes simplex ulcerations in the gut so herpes simplex ulcerations in the gut so herpes simplex can actually actually be the culprit to can actually actually be the culprit to can actually actually be the culprit to Crohn's disease in the gut so again this Crohn's disease in the gut so again this Crohn's disease in the gut so again this is not textbook at all and then when we is not textbook at all and then when we is not textbook at all and then when we get these infections in the burning now get these infections in the burning now get these infections in the burning now we start having autoimmune conditions in we start having autoimmune conditions in we start having autoimmune conditions in the brain and one of the primary the brain and one of the primary the brain and one of the primary autoimmune conditions that is more autoimmune conditions that is more autoimmune conditions that is more common than you may realize and this is common than you may realize and this is common than you may realize and this is a marker by the way you can run this a marker by the way you can run this a marker by the way you can run this through LabCorp you can run this through through LabCorp you can run this through through LabCorp you can run this through class like you can run this through your class like you can run this through your class like you can run this through your insurer or in-network insurance labs so insurer or in-network insurance labs so insurer or in-network insurance labs so this is not a fancy fancy testing but this is not a fancy fancy testing but this is not a fancy fancy testing but one of the the tests is called anti GAD one of the the tests is called anti GAD one of the the tests is called anti GAD what this is actually looking at is the what this is actually looking at is the what this is actually looking at is the pathway that helps you to make a pathway that helps you to make a pathway that helps you to make a neurotransmitter called GABA let's keep neurotransmitter called GABA let's keep neurotransmitter called GABA let's keep you simple guys gaba think of that as you simple guys gaba think of that as you simple guys gaba think of that as your anti-anxiety hormone or an your anti-anxiety hormone or an your anti-anxiety hormone or an anti-anxiety neurotransmitter so if you anti-anxiety neurotransmitter so if you anti-anxiety neurotransmitter so if you are having the pathway that's supposed are having the pathway that's supposed are having the pathway that's supposed to make your gaba compromised then to make your gaba compromised then to make your gaba compromised then you're not making this anti-anxiety you're not making this anti-anxiety you're not making this anti-anxiety hormone and you're gonna feel anxious hormone and you're gonna feel anxious hormone and you're gonna feel anxious all the time all the time all the time and you're gonna just be taking xanax and you're gonna just be taking xanax and you're gonna just be taking xanax thinking or something just wrong with thinking or something just wrong with thinking or something just wrong with you when in reality you have an you when in reality you have an you when in reality you have an autoimmune condition happening in your autoimmune condition happening in your autoimmune condition happening in your brain brain brain potentially because you have a boatload potentially because you have a boatload potentially because you have a boatload of strep as a kid and now that strap is of strep as a kid and now that strap is of strep as a kid and now that strap is affecting your neurological system so affecting your neurological system so affecting your neurological system so one of the things that the I have an one of the things that the I have an one of the things that the I have an institute where I teach other physicians institute where I teach other physicians institute where I teach other physicians how to do what we do in integrative how to do what we do in integrative how to do what we do in integrative medicine and one of the things that they medicine and one of the things that they medicine and one of the things that they always say is that I never thought about always say is that I never thought about always say is that I never thought about Anatomy as much as I do now after Anatomy as much as I do now after Anatomy as much as I do now after learning from you and really at the end learning from you and really at the end learning from you and really at the end of the day if you've been the person of the day if you've been the person of the day if you've been the person that has had tons of sinus issues maybe that has had tons of sinus issues maybe that has had tons of sinus issues maybe you have had tons of pinkeye maybe you you have had tons of pinkeye maybe you you have had tons of pinkeye maybe you have tons of dental issues maybe you had have tons of dental issues maybe you had have tons of dental issues maybe you had tons of strep throat or sore throats tons of strep throat or sore throats tons of strep throat or sore throats then all of that is circulating in the then all of that is circulating in the then all of that is circulating in the bloodstream that potentially is getting bloodstream that potentially is getting bloodstream that potentially is getting into your brain so this alone can be a into your brain so this alone can be a into your brain so this alone can be a huge culprit for why you now feel huge culprit for why you now feel huge culprit for why you now feel anxious and depressed the other thing anxious and depressed the other thing anxious and depressed the other thing too is that not only can we have too is that not only can we have too is that not only can we have physical trauma that compromises physical trauma that compromises physical trauma that compromises [Music] [Music] [Music] functioning trauma that can affect our functioning trauma that can affect our functioning trauma that can affect our mindset our perception and that creates mindset our perception and that creates mindset our perception and that creates judgments resentments and triggers so judgments resentments and triggers so judgments resentments and triggers so when it comes to physical trauma this is when it comes to physical trauma this is when it comes to physical trauma this is the people that have suffered the people that have suffered the people that have suffered concussions head injuries these are concussions head injuries these are concussions head injuries these are things that now are being acknowledged things that now are being acknowledged things that now are being acknowledged as being problematic how many of us that as being problematic how many of us that as being problematic how many of us that are 30s and up have had head injuries are 30s and up have had head injuries are 30s and up have had head injuries that were never managed properly we are that were never managed properly we are that were never managed properly we are kind of think back and were like I think kind of think back and were like I think kind of think back and were like I think I had a concussion but I don't know I had a concussion but I don't know I had a concussion but I don't know nobody knew any better or any different nobody knew any better or any different nobody knew any better or any different so nothing was done and now later down so nothing was done and now later down so nothing was done and now later down the line you know we don't have that the line you know we don't have that the line you know we don't have that bump on our head or you know we don't bump on our head or you know we don't bump on our head or you know we don't have tenderness we don't have any of have tenderness we don't have any of have tenderness we don't have any of that but now we have depression and that but now we have depression and that but now we have depression and anxiety and you go to your psychologist anxiety and you go to your psychologist anxiety and you go to your psychologist or psychiatrist and they're not asking or psychiatrist and they're not asking or psychiatrist and they're not asking you about concussions and head injuries you about concussions and head injuries you about concussions and head injuries they're just saying oh what's going on they're just saying oh what's going on they're just saying oh what's going on how do you feel you know are you in a how do you feel you know are you in a how do you feel you know are you in a bad relationship or oh you just need bad relationship or oh you just need bad relationship or oh you just need meds and nobody's asking better meds and nobody's asking better meds and nobody's asking better questions when in reality physical questions when in reality physical questions when in reality physical trauma to your trauma to your trauma to your pain can be a huge culprit so why your pain can be a huge culprit so why your pain can be a huge culprit so why your personality has changed or you are personality has changed or you are personality has changed or you are really having highs and lows from an really having highs and lows from an really having highs and lows from an emotional perspective but in addition to emotional perspective but in addition to emotional perspective but in addition to that is most of us have gone through that is most of us have gone through that is most of us have gone through things in our lives we've gone through things in our lives we've gone through things in our lives we've gone through you know adverse emotional things we've you know adverse emotional things we've you know adverse emotional things we've had loss we've felt abandoned we've you had loss we've felt abandoned we've you had loss we've felt abandoned we've you know felt shamed we've felt things over know felt shamed we've felt things over know felt shamed we've felt things over time and sometimes those things stick time and sometimes those things stick time and sometimes those things stick with us and one of the things that I with us and one of the things that I with us and one of the things that I learned over time is that you can learned over time is that you can learned over time is that you can actually have physical manifestations actually have physical manifestations actually have physical manifestations from specific emotions and I'm gonna from specific emotions and I'm gonna from specific emotions and I'm gonna talk about that further in the next few talk about that further in the next few talk about that further in the next few minutes but it will literally blow your minutes but it will literally blow your minutes but it will literally blow your mind but kind of piggybacking off of mind but kind of piggybacking off of mind but kind of piggybacking off of that is that when we are talking about that is that when we are talking about that is that when we are talking about physical manifestations of emotions is physical manifestations of emotions is physical manifestations of emotions is that the left and the right side of the that the left and the right side of the that the left and the right side of the body actually have different meanings so body actually have different meanings so body actually have different meanings so for a long time when people would come for a long time when people would come for a long time when people would come into my practice I have a background in into my practice I have a background in into my practice I have a background in functional neurology so if somebody was functional neurology so if somebody was functional neurology so if somebody was coming in with left-sided issues then I coming in with left-sided issues then I coming in with left-sided issues then I would assume okay there might be would assume okay there might be would assume okay there might be something going on of their white cortex something going on of their white cortex something going on of their white cortex because it's opposite of the right because it's opposite of the right because it's opposite of the right cortex controls left side of the body cortex controls left side of the body cortex controls left side of the body and vice versa and then when I started and vice versa and then when I started and vice versa and then when I started to dig into more Chinese medicine and to dig into more Chinese medicine and to dig into more Chinese medicine and bioenergetic medicine and I started to bioenergetic medicine and I started to bioenergetic medicine and I started to really piece the puzzle together of how really piece the puzzle together of how really piece the puzzle together of how emotional traumas adversities and things emotional traumas adversities and things emotional traumas adversities and things like that affect us is that when you like that affect us is that when you like that affect us is that when you have a lot of left-sided issues have a lot of left-sided issues have a lot of left-sided issues sometimes that is in correlation to a sometimes that is in correlation to a sometimes that is in correlation to a female figure so that could be in female figure so that could be in female figure so that could be in correlation to different types of correlation to different types of correlation to different types of judgments resentments or traumas in judgments resentments or traumas in judgments resentments or traumas in association with mom grandma a sister a association with mom grandma a sister a association with mom grandma a sister a best friend and then on the right side best friend and then on the right side best friend and then on the right side of the body that is going to actually be of the body that is going to actually be of the body that is going to actually be more representative of a male figure so more representative of a male figure so more representative of a male figure so I'm gonna get more into this so this I'm gonna get more into this so this I'm gonna get more into this so this makes a bit more sense than makes a bit more sense than makes a bit more sense than two minutes but one thing specifically two minutes but one thing specifically two minutes but one thing specifically is that when it comes to one of my is that when it comes to one of my is that when it comes to one of my patients and I know that I've touched on patients and I know that I've touched on patients and I know that I've touched on this already but I had a patient who was this already but I had a patient who was this already but I had a patient who was 13 years old she came in primarily 13 years old she came in primarily 13 years old she came in primarily because she went from depression to because she went from depression to because she went from depression to anxiety within a two-year span in anxiety within a two-year span in anxiety within a two-year span in addition to that she also had history of addition to that she also had history of addition to that she also had history of Crohn's disease so for those of you that Crohn's disease so for those of you that Crohn's disease so for those of you that are been listening the whole time one of are been listening the whole time one of are been listening the whole time one of the things that I've already said is the things that I've already said is the things that I've already said is that a mismanaged gut issue can be a that a mismanaged gut issue can be a that a mismanaged gut issue can be a huge part of the puzzle for depression huge part of the puzzle for depression huge part of the puzzle for depression especially because your gut is the especially because your gut is the especially because your gut is the primary system that is producing the primary system that is producing the primary system that is producing the feel-good hormone serotonin but the feel-good hormone serotonin but the feel-good hormone serotonin but the thing that happens here is that you see thing that happens here is that you see thing that happens here is that you see people that go from depression that people that go from depression that people that go from depression that sometimes move into anxiety or they're sometimes move into anxiety or they're sometimes move into anxiety or they're having bouts of both so this specific having bouts of both so this specific having bouts of both so this specific young girl was actually being she was young girl was actually being she was young girl was actually being she was not her crisis ease wasn't really being not her crisis ease wasn't really being not her crisis ease wasn't really being managed appropriately she was on managed appropriately she was on managed appropriately she was on primarily a high dose NSAID which is primarily a high dose NSAID which is primarily a high dose NSAID which is literally an anti-inflammatory and that literally an anti-inflammatory and that literally an anti-inflammatory and that was the primary route that they were was the primary route that they were was the primary route that they were using to manage the Crohn's disease and using to manage the Crohn's disease and using to manage the Crohn's disease and they said if it gets worse than we'll they said if it gets worse than we'll they said if it gets worse than we'll consider you know surgery or we'll consider you know surgery or we'll consider you know surgery or we'll consider a biologic which is an consider a biologic which is an consider a biologic which is an immunosuppressive but they said you're immunosuppressive but they said you're immunosuppressive but they said you're not there yet so we're just gonna use not there yet so we're just gonna use not there yet so we're just gonna use these high dose NSAIDs in order to these high dose NSAIDs in order to these high dose NSAIDs in order to buffer the inflammation so that alone buffer the inflammation so that alone buffer the inflammation so that alone has its own ramifications of creating has its own ramifications of creating has its own ramifications of creating more damage to the liver and the gut more damage to the liver and the gut more damage to the liver and the gut because it can cause this on internal because it can cause this on internal because it can cause this on internal bleeding besides the point but she was bleeding besides the point but she was bleeding besides the point but she was also then being medicated for depression also then being medicated for depression also then being medicated for depression so she was actually taking so she was actually taking so she was actually taking antidepressant so the thing that happens antidepressant so the thing that happens antidepressant so the thing that happens here is that when you are flooding the here is that when you are flooding the here is that when you are flooding the brain and the body with serotonin from brain and the body with serotonin from brain and the body with serotonin from an external source is that if you have an external source is that if you have an external source is that if you have too much serotonin and it's not being too much serotonin and it's not being too much serotonin and it's not being used properly aka the receptors the used properly aka the receptors the used properly aka the receptors the catcher's are not picking it up and catcher's are not picking it up and catcher's are not picking it up and using at that if you have a bunch of using at that if you have a bunch of using at that if you have a bunch of free-floating serotonin that can free-floating serotonin that can free-floating serotonin that can actually shift you from depression to actually shift you from depression to actually shift you from depression to anxiety so this is not my opinion this anxiety so this is not my opinion this anxiety so this is not my opinion this is research it's called serotonin is research it's called serotonin is research it's called serotonin syndrome so the thing about this is that syndrome so the thing about this is that syndrome so the thing about this is that we need to understand that these types we need to understand that these types we need to understand that these types of medications should never be used for of medications should never be used for of medications should never be used for the long term these are medications that the long term these are medications that the long term these are medications that can help us to get out of a really lower can help us to get out of a really lower can help us to get out of a really lower dark place but then we also have to use dark place but then we also have to use dark place but then we also have to use of their strategies and modalities to of their strategies and modalities to of their strategies and modalities to figure out what is the root cause here figure out what is the root cause here figure out what is the root cause here and that is what's gonna allow us to and that is what's gonna allow us to and that is what's gonna allow us to truly be able to you know get ourselves truly be able to you know get ourselves truly be able to you know get ourselves back to feeling well without relying on back to feeling well without relying on back to feeling well without relying on these medications because these these medications because these these medications because these medications are not supposed to be medications are not supposed to be medications are not supposed to be lifestyle medications these are supposed lifestyle medications these are supposed lifestyle medications these are supposed to be used in an acute state and so much to be used in an acute state and so much to be used in an acute state and so much medication has really just become medication has really just become medication has really just become lifestyle we're using these things over lifestyle we're using these things over lifestyle we're using these things over long periods of time and nobody's long periods of time and nobody's long periods of time and nobody's talking to us about what does that look talking to us about what does that look talking to us about what does that look like does this have any effects using it like does this have any effects using it like does this have any effects using it over the long term so another really big over the long term so another really big over the long term so another really big myth when it comes to talking about myth when it comes to talking about myth when it comes to talking about emotions and different events that we've emotions and different events that we've emotions and different events that we've gone through in our life that have gone through in our life that have gone through in our life that have created either judgment resentment or or created either judgment resentment or or created either judgment resentment or or trauma it's not we are told there's even trauma it's not we are told there's even trauma it's not we are told there's even a saying that time heals all and what I a saying that time heals all and what I a saying that time heals all and what I have realized is that that's not true have realized is that that's not true have realized is that that's not true and just because time has passed doesn't and just because time has passed doesn't and just because time has passed doesn't mean that the person the situation the mean that the person the situation the mean that the person the situation the judgment the trauma is no longer judgment the trauma is no longer judgment the trauma is no longer affecting you guys this is what we call affecting you guys this is what we call affecting you guys this is what we call triggers when you have a trigger and triggers when you have a trigger and triggers when you have a trigger and somebody says the wrong thing if you're somebody says the wrong thing if you're somebody says the wrong thing if you're driving down the street and somebody driving down the street and somebody driving down the street and somebody flips you off and you lose your [  ] flips you off and you lose your [  ] flips you off and you lose your [  ] like these are triggers these are like these are triggers these are like these are triggers these are unresolved emotional things that you are unresolved emotional things that you are unresolved emotional things that you are still holding space for so we all have still holding space for so we all have still holding space for so we all have stuff this is not about feeling guilty stuff this is not about feeling guilty stuff this is not about feeling guilty but when we go into therapy and we tell but when we go into therapy and we tell but when we go into therapy and we tell our story our story our story of our crappy relationship we had with of our crappy relationship we had with of our crappy relationship we had with our husband our wife our our mom or dad our husband our wife our our mom or dad our husband our wife our our mom or dad where you know the abuse that we went where you know the abuse that we went where you know the abuse that we went through and we tell that story over and through and we tell that story over and through and we tell that story over and over again it becomes embedded it over again it becomes embedded it over again it becomes embedded it becomes neuro plastic it actually becomes neuro plastic it actually becomes neuro plastic it actually creates stronger pathways in the brain creates stronger pathways in the brain creates stronger pathways in the brain and just because you do not think of and just because you do not think of and just because you do not think of these types of things in your conscious these types of things in your conscious these types of things in your conscious mind every day because you're working mind every day because you're working mind every day because you're working and time has passed and you're you're and time has passed and you're you're and time has passed and you're

actively say that you still have an actively say that you still have an actively say that you still have an emotional judgment or you're gonna get emotional judgment or you're gonna get emotional judgment or you're gonna get triggered if somebody brings that person triggered if somebody brings that person triggered if somebody brings that person up or that scenario up it's unresolved up or that scenario up it's unresolved up or that scenario up it's unresolved and there are ways that you can actually and there are ways that you can actually and there are ways that you can actually resolve all these different things that resolve all these different things that resolve all these different things that you've been through but it's not you've been through but it's not you've been through but it's not necessarily by telling the story over necessarily by telling the story over necessarily by telling the story over and over again and it's definitely not and over again and it's definitely not and over again and it's definitely not by suppressing it through medication so by suppressing it through medication so by suppressing it through medication so when we get through to a couple more when we get through to a couple more when we get through to a couple more slides from now I'm gonna talk more slides from now I'm gonna talk more slides from now I'm gonna talk more about some of the modalities that we about some of the modalities that we about some of the modalities that we have found to be the most effective but have found to be the most effective but have found to be the most effective but here's the crazy thing here's the crazy thing here's the crazy thing is that because it is already for those is that because it is already for those is that because it is already for those of you that have been listening the of you that have been listening the of you that have been listening the whole time is that emotions nobody is whole time is that emotions nobody

hard tell you that I learned this the hard tell you that I learned this the hard way for myself and my own healing way for myself and my own healing way for myself and my own healing journey I was going through probably journey I was going through probably journey I was going through probably about a year of a detox to help me detox about a year of a detox to help me detox about a year of a detox to help me detox my liver from mercury toxicity and I was my liver from mercury toxicity and I was my liver from mercury toxicity and I was constantly rechecking my mercury levels constantly rechecking my mercury levels constantly rechecking my mercury levels and they were not budging literally not and they were not budging literally not and they were not budging literally not changing and I was so pissed I was so changing and I was so pissed I was so changing and I was so pissed I was so frustrated I was like I am doing all the frustrated I was like I am doing all the frustrated I was like I am doing all the right things right things right things I'm on a strict diet juices smoothies I'm on a strict diet juices smoothies I'm on a strict diet juices smoothies supplements one of

aggravated that I'm like what getting so aggravated that I'm like what like what is this am I gonna have to be like what is this am I gonna have to be like what is this am I gonna have to be on this strict regimen for the rest of on this strict regimen for the rest of on this strict regimen for the rest of my life like it's been really gonna take my life like it's been really gonna take my life like it's been really gonna take years to get this out of my body I just years to get this out of my body I just years to get this out of my body I just don't understand how this is possible don't understand how this is possible don't understand how this is possible and there were a couple of layers here and there were a couple of layers here and there were a couple of layers here like one of the pieces because this was like one of the pieces because this was like one of the pieces because this was years ago one of the pieces that I years ago one of the pieces that I years ago one of the pieces that I didn't understand at that time was that didn't understand at that time was that didn't understand at that time was that I didn't understand that you can't I didn't understand that you can't I didn't understand that you can't support one detox pathway and not support one detox pathway and not support one detox pathway and not support the rest because if I'm just support the rest because if I'm just support the rest because if I'm just trying to support my liver but then I'm trying to support my liver but then I'm trying to support my liver but then I'm not supporting my kidneys and I'm not not supporting my kidneys and I'm not not supporting my kidneys and I'm not supporting my lymph nodes then all I'm supporting my lymph nodes then all I'm supporting my lymph nodes then all I'm doing is stirring stuff up and it's doing is stirring stuff up and it's doing is stirring stuff up and it's getting clogged in other areas so that's getting clogged in other areas so that's getting clogged in other areas so that's definitely one thing to understand is definitely one thing to understand is definitely one thing to understand is like that's why we do integrative like that's why we do integrative like that's why we do integrative medicine is because we're able to look medicine is because we're able to look medicine is because we're able to look at the whole body and we were great with at the whole body and we were great with at the whole body and we were great with helping people detox because we know how helping people detox because we know how helping people detox because we know how to do it right unfortunately I was part to do it right unfortunately I was part to do it right unfortunately I was part of the trial and error and I went of the trial and error and I went of the trial and error and I went through a lot of crappy things before I through a lot of crappy things before I through a lot of crappy things before I was able to figure it out but I think was able to figure it out but I think was able to figure it out but I think that the kicker for me was my here's dr. that the kicker for me was my here's dr. that the kicker for me was my here's dr. NIC oh I think the kicker for me was NIC oh I think the kicker for me was NIC oh I think the kicker for me was really being able to see that part of really being able to see that part of really being able to see that part of the puzzle was actually things that were the puzzle was actually things that were the puzzle was actually things that were manifesting in my liver so when you get manifesting in my liver so when you get manifesting in my liver so when you get into Chinese medicine which has been into Chinese medicine which has been into Chinese medicine which has been around for thousands upon thousands of around for thousands upon thousands of around for thousands upon thousands of years is they talked a lot about how years is they talked a lot about how years is they talked a lot about how there are specific emotions that can there are specific emotions that can there are specific emotions that can reside in specific organs and one of the reside in specific organs and one of the reside in specific organs and one of the specific emotions that was ported to the specific emotions that was ported to the specific emotions that was ported to the liver was anger resentment and rage so liver was anger resentment and rage so liver was anger resentment and rage so when we started to leverage some of our when we started to leverage some of our when we started to leverage some of our testing it's actually one of the tests testing it's actually one of the tests testing it's actually one of the tests that dr. Nick does here he was able to that dr. Nick does here he was able to that dr. Nick does here he was able to test me and say ooh yeah it's rage and I test me and say ooh yeah it's rage and I test me and say ooh yeah it's rage and I was just was just was just was embarrassed in the moment but when I was embarrassed in the moment but when I was embarrassed in the moment but when I really reflected on and I was like well really reflected on and I was like well really reflected on and I was like well you know I could see how this is true you know I could see how this is true you know I could see how this is true just based off of my past and some just based off of my past and some just based off of my past and some things I've gone through so one of the things I've gone through so one of the things I've gone through so one of the things that we leveraged was we things that we leveraged was we things that we leveraged was we leveraged one of the emotional leveraged one of the emotional leveraged one of the emotional techniques that we do in the office but techniques that we do in the office but techniques that we do in the office but we also leverage a bioenergetic we also leverage a bioenergetic we also leverage a bioenergetic technology that actually helps to clear technology that actually helps to clear technology that actually helps to clear out different things that you could be out different things that you could be out different things that you could be holding that are blocking these organs holding that are blocking these organs holding that are blocking these organs specifically block blocking the specifically block blocking the specifically block blocking the meridians and that's what the bioscan by meridians and that's what the bioscan by meridians and that's what the bioscan by the way so I actually did a bio scan on the way so I actually did a bio scan on the way so I actually did a bio scan on my liver and worked on some of these my liver and worked on some of these my liver and worked on some of these layers and literally got physically sick layers and literally got physically sick layers and literally got physically sick the next day by the way didn't put two the next day by the way didn't put two the next day by the way didn't put two and two together at all I literally and two together at all I literally and two together at all I literally thought I was getting a flu and then it thought I was getting a flu and then it thought I was getting a flu and then it was weeks later that I reach a stood my was weeks later that I reach a stood my was weeks later that I reach a stood my mercury levels and they dropped in half mercury levels and they dropped in half mercury levels and they dropped in half and I was like lightful woman I go no and I was like lightful woman I go no and I was like lightful woman I go no freakin way freakin way freakin way there's no way that that helped to there's no way that that helped to there's no way that that helped to completely get my liver working better completely get my liver working better completely get my liver working better to clear out the stuff I'd been detoxing to clear out the stuff I'd been detoxing to clear out the stuff I'd been detoxing for a year and it was literally it had for a year and it was literally it had for a year and it was literally it had to happen in that way for me to start to happen in that way for me to start to happen in that way for me to start acknowledging this other side and acknowledging this other side and acknowledging this other side and acknowledging that emotions and acknowledging that emotions and acknowledging that emotions and meridians and energy and all of these meridians and energy and all of these meridians and energy and all of these things were part of the puzzle and now things were part of the puzzle and now things were part of the puzzle and now it's definitely we always were doing it's definitely we always were doing it's definitely we always were doing blood work we're doing all of these labs blood work we're doing all of these labs blood work we're doing all of these labs but we also have enough knowledge to be but we also have enough knowledge to be but we also have enough knowledge to be able to bridge the gap to see if there able to bridge the gap to see if there able to bridge the gap to see if there is another piece of the puzzle here okay is another piece of the puzzle here okay is another piece of the puzzle here okay go go go so an interesting thing about the bow so an interesting thing about the bow so an interesting thing about the bow scheme you know it definitely helped

a physiological change so speaking of that physiological change so speaking of that physiological change so speaking of that we actually had a really fascinating we actually had a really fascinating we actually had a really fascinating situation where the woman that came in situation where the woman that came in situation where the woman that came in so we were leveraging some of our so we were leveraging some of our so we were leveraging some of our in-house testing and we have a specific in-house testing and we have a specific in-house testing and we have a specific technology that evaluates down to the technology that evaluates down to the technology that evaluates down to the DNA level so we get information really DNA level so we get information really DNA level so we get information really fast and this specific woman was fast and this specific woman was fast and this specific woman was actually dealing with a issue in her actually dealing with a issue in her actually dealing with a issue in her right lung she was also dealing with an right lung she was also dealing with an right lung she was also dealing with an issue in her right shoulder as well as issue in her right shoulder as well as issue in her right shoulder as well as her liver which is also on the right her liver which is also on the right her liver which is also on the right side so she did not go in depth about side so she did not go in depth about side so she did not go in depth about anything with her like any anything that anything with her like any anything that anything with her like any anything that was like going on in her life that was was like going on in her life that was was like going on in her life that was stressing her out but I just thought stressing her out but I just thought stressing her out but I just thought that it was too interesting that she had that it was too interesting that she had that it was too interesting that she had all of these right-sided things going on all of these right-sided things going on all of these right-sided things going on so for those of you that are just so for those of you that are just so for those of you that are just hopping on the right side of the body is hopping on the right side of the body is hopping on the right side of the body is synonymous with a male figure and then synonymous with a male figure and then synonymous with a male figure and then if we go back to that previous slide if we go back to that previous slide if we go back to that previous slide we're dealing with lung which is grease we're dealing with lung which is grease we're dealing with lung which is grease loss and then we're also dealing with loss and then we're also dealing with loss and then we're also dealing with liver which is anger resentment rage and liver which is anger resentment rage and liver which is anger resentment rage and then the shoulder can also be something then the shoulder can also be something then the shoulder can also be something like what are you hold trying to hold up like what are you hold trying to hold up like what are you hold trying to hold up or hold on to so I was like listen this or hold on to so I was like listen this or hold on to so I was like listen this wound was connected to the right wound was connected to the right wound was connected to the right oh we can but just kind of finishing oh we can but just kind of finishing oh we can but just kind of finishing what I'm saying about this specific what I'm saying about this specific what I'm saying about this specific woman is that she has physical things woman is that she has physical things woman is that she has physical things coming up in her blood work she coming up in her blood work she coming up in her blood work she literally had her liver enzymes were literally had her liver enzymes were literally had her liver enzymes were elevated it was not viral so there was elevated it was not viral so there was elevated it was not viral so there was no like hepatitis nothing like that and no like hepatitis nothing like that and no like hepatitis nothing like that and she didn't have changes in her right she didn't have changes in her right she didn't have changes in her right lung so I asked her and I was like lung so I asked her and I was like lung so I asked her and I was like listen I know that we didn't talk about listen I know that we didn't talk about listen I know that we didn't talk about in your rooms down but I'm just curious in your rooms down but I'm just curious in your rooms down but I'm just curious is there anything going on with a male is there anything going on with a male is there anything going on with a male figure in your life that you feel angry figure in your life that you feel angry figure in your life that you feel angry towards or you feel like you've lost towards or you feel like you've lost towards or you feel like you've lost something or you potentially are gonna something or you potentially are gonna something or you potentially are gonna lose something and like you're having lose something and like you're having lose something and like you're having trouble with either letting it go or trouble with either letting it go or trouble with either letting it go or you're just feel like you're you're you're just feel like you're you're you're just feel like you're you're holding something up and she just like holding something up and she just like holding something up and she just like broke down and she goes my husband broke down and she goes my

idea get a divorce and I'm grieving the idea get a divorce and I'm grieving the idea of divorcing him and I'm really trying of divorcing him and I'm really trying of divorcing him and I'm really trying to just hold our relationship together to just hold our relationship together to just hold our relationship together and I'm just like whoa so it was just and I'm just like whoa so it was just and I'm just like whoa so it was just really such an eye-opening moment that really such an eye-opening moment that really such an eye-opening moment that yes she had physical symptoms that we yes she had physical symptoms that we yes she had physical symptoms that we could definitely work with but there was could definitely work with but there was could definitely work with but there was a foundational piece that would have a foundational piece that would have a foundational piece that would have caused this woman to hit a plateau and I caused this woman to hit a plateau and I caused this woman to hit a plateau and I think that that's important for you guys think that that's important for you guys think that that's important for you guys to know is some of you are here right to know is some of you are here right to know is some of you are here right now is that you've been maybe down the now is that you've been maybe down the now is that you've been maybe down the road of conventional medicine some of road of conventional medicine some of road of conventional medicine some of you have been down the road of you have been down the road of you have been down the road of functional medicine and maybe you just functional medicine and maybe you just functional medicine and maybe you just haven't been able to get better and haven't been able to get better and haven't been able to get better and you've hit a plateau and you just are you've hit a plateau and you just are you've hit a plateau and you just are like I don't know if I'm ever gonna feel like I don't know if I'm ever gonna feel like I don't know if I'm ever gonna feel better and this is the fascinating part better and this is the fascinating part better and this is the fascinating part is that you know when you run the labs is that you know when you run the labs is that you know when you run the labs and you look at the bloodwork and you and you look at the bloodwork and you and you look at the bloodwork and you look at the you know the stool samples look at the you know the stool samples look at the you know the stool samples and you look at all those things that's and you look at all those things that's and you look at all those things that's looking at the body from one view it's looking at the body from one view it's looking at the body from one view it's not looking at everything so when we not looking at everything so when we not looking at everything so when we start to look at everything we ask start to look at everything we ask start to look at everything we ask better questions this is really when we better questions this is really when we better questions this is really when we can start to actually understand okay can start to actually understand okay can start to actually understand okay what is the foundational problem and what is the foundational problem and what is the foundational problem and what actually more of a sectional what actually more of a sectional what actually more of a sectional problem so I'll let Nick actually go problem so I'll let Nick actually go problem so I'll let Nick actually go more into why it's right and left side more into why it's right and left side more into why it's right and left side is segregated so when you look at the is segregated so when you look at the is segregated so when you look at the nervous system especially the brain we nervous system especially the brain we nervous system especially the brain we have our big brain and then in back we have our big brain and then in back we have our big brain and then in back we have a small brain our big brains called have a small brain our big brains called have a small brain our big brains called our cortex and back it's the cerebellum our cortex and back it's the cerebellum our cortex and back it's the cerebellum but left cortex controls your right side but left cortex controls your right side but left cortex controls your right side of the body of the body of the body you're right cortex controls the left you're right cortex controls the left you're right cortex controls the left side of the body and when you go back to side of the body and when you go back to side of the body and when you go back to the cerebellum it's epsilon so rights the cerebellum it's epsilon so rights the cerebellum it's epsilon so rights right left is left but when you look at right left is left but when you look at right left is left but when you look at like the masculine and then like the masculine and then like the masculine and then aspects of the brain your right side has aspects of the brain your right side has aspects of the brain your right side has more as the artsy creative this has been more as the artsy creative this has been more as the artsy creative this has been pretty much kind of taught to us that pretty much kind of taught to us that pretty much kind of taught to us that it's more the feminine energy of the it's more the feminine energy of the it's more the feminine energy of the more the creative energy on the opposite more the creative energy on the opposite more the creative energy on the opposite that is when we look at like the that is when we look at like the that is when we look at like the intellect the numbers aspect mathematics intellect the numbers aspect mathematics intellect the numbers aspect mathematics that's going to be highly driven and the that's going to be highly driven and the that's going to be highly driven and the left part of the brain which has been left part of the brain which has been left part of the brain which has been more associated with men today the more associated with men today the more associated with men today the interesting part is that as our general interesting part is that as our general interesting part is that as our general gender-neutral society is changing that gender-neutral society is changing that gender-neutral society is changing that the whole concept of masculine feminine the whole concept of masculine feminine the whole concept of masculine feminine brain I think probably the next 10 15 20 brain I think probably the next 10 15 20 brain I think probably the next 10 15 20 years real thing is not going to play a years real thing is not going to play a years real thing is not going to play a role which is awesome because we're role which is awesome because we're role which is awesome because we're gonna have more synchronicity I'm gonna have more synchronicity I'm gonna have more synchronicity I'm happening in between both in the spirit happening in between both in the spirit happening in between both in the spirit cells that communicate more cells that communicate more cells that communicate more intelligently together but when you have intelligently together but when you have intelligently together but when you have more of that overall stress just on that more of that overall stress just on that more of that overall stress just on that one side of the brain if it's associated one side of the brain if it's associated one side of the brain if it's associated with more of that male counterpart that with more of that male counterpart that with more of that male counterpart that tends to infect that left brain if we tends to infect that left brain if we tends to infect that left brain if we have more of that stress coming on from have more of that stress coming on from have more of that stress coming on from female or somebody that represents that female or somebody that represents that female or somebody that represents that female energy it's going to affect more female energy it's going to affect more female energy it's going to affect more of that right cortex which is going to of that right cortex which is going to of that right cortex which is going to be associated with less of the body well be associated with less of the body well be associated with less of the body well I think that this is important to I think that this is important to I think that this is important to understand too because sometimes when we understand too because sometimes when we understand too because sometimes when we work with patients and we use our work with patients and we use our work with patients and we use our different modalities one of them being different modalities one of them being different modalities one of them being the Demartini method sometimes also the Demartini method sometimes also the Demartini method sometimes also correlating that in with something correlating that in with something correlating that in with something called the bioscan technology and we're called the bioscan technology and we're called the bioscan technology and we're helping people to kind of clear out and helping people to kind of clear out and helping people to kind of clear out and resolve some of the emotional things resolve some of the emotional things resolve some of the emotional things that they've been through is that you that they've been through is that you that they've been through is that you sometimes also have to go go back and sometimes also have to go go back and sometimes also have to go go back and use different modalities to balance out use different modalities to balance out use different modalities to balance out the left and right brain so that they the left and right brain so that they the left and right brain so that they are communicating appropriate was are communicating appropriate was are communicating appropriate was appropriately with each other so one of appropriately with each other so one of appropriately with each other so one of the things that we use is that when we the things that we use is that when we the things that we use is that when we kind of work on that foundation and kind of work on that foundation and kind of work on that foundation and maybe the foundation is getting rid of maybe the foundation is getting rid of maybe the foundation is getting rid of infections getting rid of inflammation infections getting rid of inflammation infections getting rid of inflammation balancing the blood balancing the blood balancing the blood and we really helped to fix the and we really helped to fix the and we really helped to fix the foundation sometimes people are like wow foundation sometimes people are like wow foundation sometimes people are like wow my symptoms have completely resolved or my symptoms have completely resolved or my symptoms have completely resolved or I'm so much better but not all the way I'm so much better but not all the way I'm so much better but not all the way there and that's really where we use there and that's really where we use there and that's really where we use some different functional neurology some different functional neurology some different functional neurology techniques one of them being called techniques one of them being called techniques one of them being called nervous feedback and neurofeedback is a nervous feedback and neurofeedback is a nervous feedback and neurofeedback is a specific type of technology that specific type of technology that specific type of technology that actually helps to create balance from actually helps to create balance from actually helps to create balance from left to right right to left and it also left to right right to left and it also left to right right to left and it also helps to balance out overactive centers helps to balance out overactive centers helps to balance out overactive centers or underactive centers of the brain so or underactive centers of the brain so or underactive centers of the brain so there's so much that can be done that's there's so much that can be done that's there's so much that can be done that's the point the point the point but I don't want you guys to think that but I don't want you guys to think that but I don't want you guys to think that I oh gosh if you want to you know I oh gosh if you want to you know I oh gosh if you want to you know resolve your depression and anxiety that resolve your depression and anxiety that resolve your depression and anxiety that there's all of these layers that you there's all of these layers that you there's all of these layers that you have to deal with because really at the have to deal with because really at the have to deal with because really at the end of the day everyone is so different end of the day everyone is so different end of the day everyone is so different so some of you that are struggling so some of you that are struggling so some of you that are struggling emotionally may be truly just have a gut emotionally may be truly just have a gut emotionally may be truly just have a gut issue some of you struggling emotionally issue some of you struggling emotionally issue some of you struggling emotionally maybe have a blood sugar issue some of maybe have a blood sugar issue some of maybe have a blood sugar issue some of you struggling emotionally it's because you struggling emotionally it's because you struggling emotionally it's because you're holding space for previous things you're holding space for previous things you're holding space for previous things that you've gone through so everyone is that you've gone through so everyone is that you've gone through so everyone is different but there are so many tools different but there are so many tools different but there are so many tools that are out there that can keep us from that are out there that can keep us from that are out there that can keep us from suffering and it can keep our kids from suffering and it can keep our kids from suffering and it can keep our kids from suffering and being medicated at such suffering and being medicated at such suffering and being medicated at such young ages so I think that that's just young ages so I think that that's just young ages so I think that that's just one of the key reasons why we want it to one of the key reasons why we want it to one of the key reasons why we want it to really share this information but even really share this information but even really share this information but even more fascinating is that when you get more fascinating is that when you get more fascinating is that when you get into very specific condition symptoms into very specific condition symptoms into very specific condition symptoms and diseases is that the couple of and diseases is that the couple of and diseases is that the couple of people Louise Hays and dr.

understanding human behavior and also understanding how different physical understanding how different physical understanding how different physical symptoms are actually correlated to symptoms are actually correlated to symptoms are actually correlated to different things that were struggling different things that were struggling different things that were struggling with and one of the things

figure do you wanted to say something figure do you wanted to say something about that but another aspect here too about that but another aspect here too about that but another aspect here too is that when we go to this place of is that when we go to this place of is that when we go to this place of being told like depression runs in my being told like depression runs in my being told like depression runs in my family or anxiety runs in my family family or anxiety runs in my family family or anxiety runs in my family bipolar runs in my family and we assume bipolar runs in my family and we assume bipolar runs in my family and we assume that we are just doomed to our family that we are just doomed to our family that we are just doomed to our family history and our genetics so number one history and our genetics so number one history and our genetics so number one is that there is a such thing called is that there is a such thing called is that there is a such thing called transgenerational trauma transgenerational trauma transgenerational trauma so this really goes back generations of so this really goes back generations of so this really goes back generations of there could have been a family member there could have been a family member there could have been a family member generations back that went through war generations back that went through war generations back that went through war and through war they had PTSD which and through war they had PTSD which and through war they had PTSD which obviously outputted tons of adrenaline obviously outputted tons of adrenaline obviously outputted tons of adrenaline and put them into an anxiety state and and put them into an anxiety state and and put them into an anxiety state and that unresolved literally emotional and that unresolved literally emotional and that unresolved literally emotional and physiological change in the body can physiological change in the body can physiological change in the body can change the or cause the genetics to change the or cause the genetics to change the or cause the genetics to express differently which then was express differently which then was express differently which then was passed down generation to generation so passed down generation to generation so passed down generation to generation so it's not that you're just doomed because it's not that you're just doomed because it's not that you're just doomed because your genes can express differently based your genes can express differently based your genes can express differently based off of really knowing what is the root off of really knowing what is the root off of really knowing what is the root cause and what is the imbalance in your cause and what is the imbalance in your cause and what is the imbalance in your body epigenetics is a crazy complex body epigenetics is a crazy complex body epigenetics is a crazy complex topic but to make it simple that it's topic but to make it simple that it's topic but to make it simple that it's really your genes when you look at your really your genes when you look at your really your genes when you look at your genes they're a printer they don't genes they're a printer they don't genes they're a printer they don't decide anything they just have decide anything they just have decide anything they just have information coming to it and depending information coming to it and depending information coming to it and depending on the information then they're going to on the information then they're going to on the information then they're going to pretty much create a print really making pretty much create a print really making pretty much create a print really making proteins to make it simple so looks like proteins to make it simple so looks like proteins to make it simple so looks like quote-unquote good information in good quote-unquote good information in good quote-unquote good information in good information out crap the information in information out crap the information in information out crap the information in crap the information out with that crap the information out with that crap the information out with that change in information is what we call change in information is what we call change in information is what we call the mutation or a splice within the DNA the mutation or a splice within the DNA the mutation or a splice within the DNA and that's what changed the cell and that's what changed the cell and that's what changed the cell signaling which will change the signaling which will change the signaling which will change the production of amino acids so it's like production of amino acids so it's like production of amino acids so it's like anytime that we go through a major anytime that we go through a major anytime that we go through a major trauma the DNA is going to express trauma the DNA is going to express trauma the DNA is going to express itself differently because it wants to itself differently because it wants to itself differently because it wants to protect itself and wants to live or keep protect itself and wants to live or keep protect itself and wants to live or keep us alive so that is how our pretty much us alive so that is how our pretty much us alive so that is how our pretty much traumas will create these epigenetic traumas will create these epigenetic traumas will create these epigenetic changes and then when we have offspring changes and then when we have offspring changes and then when we have offspring both that information from each person both that information from each person both that information from each person gets expressed or the possibility of gets expressed or the possibility of gets expressed or the possibility of nothing expressed through the child the nothing expressed through the child the nothing expressed through the child the cool thing about science is actually cool thing about science is actually cool thing about science is actually proved that I think it's up to seven proved that I think it's up to seven proved that I think it's up to seven generations now it's it's a for-sure generations now it's it's a for-sure generations now it's it's a for-sure time and i think it's seven so literally time and i think it's seven so literally time and i think it's seven so literally seven generations we could still be seven generations we could still be seven generations we could still be dealing with the colon quote bullcrap dealing with the colon quote bullcrap dealing with the colon quote bullcrap that they never dealt with so the that they never dealt with so the that they never dealt with so the awesome thing is though is that we have awesome thing is though is that we have awesome thing is though is that we have the responsibility to if we have that the responsibility to if we have that the responsibility to if we have that coming up to be able to neutralize coming up to be able to neutralize coming up to be able to neutralize whether it's anxiety whether it's whether it's anxiety whether it's whether it's anxiety whether it's depression whatever trauma is being depression whatever trauma is being depression whatever trauma is being passed down we have the opportunity to passed down we have the opportunity to passed down we have the opportunity to break that cycle and to reverse that break that cycle and to reverse that break that cycle and to reverse that mutation so it doesn't get carried on mutation so it doesn't get carried on mutation so it doesn't get carried on anymore anymore anymore so it's not so much that oh my god I'm a so it's not so much that oh my god I'm a so it's not so much that oh my god I'm a victim of this transgenerational trauma victim of this transgenerational trauma victim of this transgenerational trauma it's no actually I'm empowered and I can it's no actually I'm empowered and I can it's no actually I'm empowered and I can step in to be able to resolve something step in to be able to resolve something step in to be able to resolve something that doesn't have to run through my that doesn't have to run through my that doesn't have to run through my family history anymore yeah well I think family history anymore yeah well I think family history anymore yeah well I think a good example of this too is that I a good example of this too is that I a good example of this too is that I know that you know based off of our age know that you know based off of our age know that you know based off of our age we have tons of friends that are having we have tons of friends that are having we have tons of friends that are having children and you know they're noticing children and you know they're noticing children and you know they're noticing on behaviors and their children on behaviors and their children on behaviors and their children sometimes and there's sometimes and there's sometimes and there's like what like how does my child know like what like how does my child know like what like how does my child know about this or why is my child worried or about this or why is my child worried or about this or why is my child worried or you know all those exhibiting signs of you know all those exhibiting signs of you know all those exhibiting signs of anxiety and this can definitely be due anxiety and this can definitely be due anxiety and this can definitely be due to this whole trans generational trauma to this whole trans generational trauma to this whole trans generational trauma that we're talking about and it also can that we're talking about and it also can that we're talking about and it also can be in relation to if mom you know fell be in relation to if mom you know fell be in relation to if mom you know fell down the stairs while she was pregnant down the stairs while she was pregnant down the stairs while she was pregnant and was terrified that she hurt the baby and was terrified that she hurt the baby and was terrified that she hurt the baby or mom got into a car accident and had or mom got into a car accident and had or mom got into a car accident and had this adrenaline output because she was this adrenaline output because she was this adrenaline output because she was super scared in that moment so there is super scared in that moment so there is super scared in that moment so there is a lot of ways that these things can show a lot of ways that these things can show a lot of ways that these things can show up but you know to look at a up but you know to look at a up but you know to look at a two-year-old three-year-old two-year-old three-year-old two-year-old three-year-old four-year-old and say oh my child has four-year-old and say oh my child has four-year-old and say oh my child has anxiety sometimes it's a bit deeper anxiety sometimes it's a bit deeper anxiety sometimes it's a bit deeper rooted than that and this has to do as rooted than that and this has to do as rooted than that and this has to do as an expression from either moms an expression from either moms an expression from either moms experience or past experiences so even experience or past

judgments and triggers are email okay so judgments and triggers are a normal part of life if I know that a normal part of life if I know that a normal part of life if I know that Nick is gonna have a field day with this Nick is gonna have a field day with this Nick is gonna have a field day with this one one one but one of the things that I just want but one of the things that I just want but one of the things that I just want to say is that I said this earlier on I to say is that I said this earlier on I to say is that I said this earlier on I know there are some of you that are just know there are some of you that are just know there are some of you that are just hopping on now hopping on now hopping on now but triggers are something that are just but triggers are something that are just but triggers are something that are just not normal they're unresolved things not normal they're unresolved things not normal they're unresolved things that you have that you have kind of that you have that you have kind of that you have that you have kind of built up in your system and these built up in your system and these built up in your system and these triggers can pop out at random times it triggers can pop out at random times it triggers can pop out at random times it can be called road rage it could be can be called road rage it could be can be called road rage it could be called you know I hate cheap people it called you know I hate cheap people it called you know I hate cheap people it can be called a lot of different things can be called a lot of different things can be called a lot of different things but in addition is that you know also but in addition is that you know also but in addition is that you know also ties back to judgments that we have is ties back to judgments that we have is ties back to judgments that we have is that you know there are times in our that you know there are times in our that you know there are times in our lives that we're judging others and lives that we're judging others and lives that we're judging others and there's a lot of times that we're there's a lot of times that we're there's a lot of times that we're feeling

tell me how I should live my life and what not and a lot of times my life and what not and a lot of times my life and what not and a lot of times these judgments that we are either you these judgments that we are either you these judgments that we are either you know portraying or we're receiving have know portraying or we're receiving have know portraying or we're receiving have a lot to do with our values and I feel a lot to do with our values and I feel a lot to do with our values and I feel that this when you understand this that this when you understand this that this when you understand this concept it can be very very very freeing concept it can be very very very freeing concept it can be very very very freeing and I'll just tell my story and I'll let and I'll just tell my story and

about the people that would nickel and about the people that would nickel and about the people that would nickel and dime the bill at the end of the night dime the bill at the end of the night dime the bill at the end of the night and we're like what's wrong with them and we're like what's wrong with them and we're like what's wrong with them who acts like that so annoying but what who acts like that so annoying but what who acts like that so annoying but what I realize is when I did the values I realize is when I did the values I realize is when I did the values exercise with Nick is that one of my exercise with Nick is that one of my exercise with Nick is that one of my biggest values was quality time and in biggest values was quality time and in biggest values was quality time and in my mind I could not put a price on my mind I could not put a price on my mind I could not put a price on quality time so when I was portraying or quality time so when I was portraying or quality time so when I was portraying or projecting my values onto other people projecting my values onto other people projecting my values onto other people is I'm just thinking like how could you is I'm just thinking like how could you is I'm just thinking like how could you not value quality time what's wrong with not value quality time what's wrong with not value quality time what's wrong with you why would you sit here and talk you why would you sit here and talk you why would you sit here and talk about the bill about the bill about the bill but really at the end of the day their but really at the end of the day their but really at the end of the day their value was wealth and their value was value was wealth and their value was value was wealth and their value was maybe having a savings that counts maybe having a savings that counts maybe having a savings that counts further for their comfort college for further for their comfort college for further for their comfort college for their kids and Who am I to judge that so their kids and Who am I to judge that so their kids and Who am I to judge that so it was such a like humbling I open a it was such a like humbling I open a it was such a like humbling I open a moment of this simple judgment that I moment of this simple judgment that I moment of this simple judgment that I would make it really just had to do with would make it really just had to do with would make it really just had to do with me projecting my values onto someone me projecting my values onto someone me projecting my values onto someone else and like there's nothing wrong with else and like there's nothing wrong with else and like there's nothing wrong with my fellows there's nothing wrong with my fellows there's nothing wrong with my fellows there's nothing wrong with their values it's just you know we need their values it's just you know we need their values it's just you know we need to kind of take that into consideration to kind of take that into consideration to kind of take that into consideration and when you understand that you feel so and when you understand that you feel so and when you understand that you feel so much more free of those things that much more free of those things that much more free of those things that would normally be an extreme trigger to would normally be an extreme trigger to would normally be an extreme trigger to you now I get it run go so as always you now I get it run go so as always you now I get it run go so as always there's tons of layers I mean looking at there's tons of layers I mean looking at there's tons of layers I mean looking at judgments like dr. Niccole said is judgments like dr. Niccole said is judgments like dr. Niccole said is foundationally like we all say oh don't foundationally like we all say oh don't foundationally like we all say oh don't judge somebody but we have to judge judge somebody but we have to judge judge somebody but we have to judge because lowly judgments aren't just a because lowly judgments aren't just a because lowly judgments aren't just a bad thing but they're not just a good bad thing but they're not just a good bad thing but they're not just a good thing judgements are a feedback thing judgements are a feedback thing judgements are a feedback mechanism to help us to grow what's most mechanism to help us to grow what's most mechanism to help us to grow what's most important to ourselves heads our values important to ourselves heads our values important to ourselves heads our values so it's like judgements are a necessary so it's like judgements are a necessary so it's like judgements are a necessary means to allow us means to allow us means to allow us to really know how to serve ourselves to really know how to serve ourselves to really know how to serve ourselves and until we know what's most important and until we know what's most important and until we know what's most important to ourselves it's impossible to do that to ourselves it's impossible to do that to ourselves it's impossible to do that so judgments aren't just a bad thing but so judgments aren't just a bad thing but so judgments aren't just a bad thing but it's when we're pushing our values and it's when we're pushing our values and it's when we're pushing our values and our judgments onto other people that's our judgments onto other people that's our judgments onto other people that's when the quote unquote becomes a bad when the quote unquote becomes a bad when the quote unquote becomes a bad thing because when you look at thing because when you look at thing because when you look at relationships there's really three relationships there's really three relationships there's really three options we have we have a win-win option options we have we have a win-win option options we have we have a win-win option we have a win-lose option and we have a we have a win-lose option and we have a we have a win-lose option and we have a lose-lose option I would say the lose-lose option I would say the lose-lose option I would say the majority of all relationships today are majority of all relationships today are majority of all relationships today are a win-lose relationship because when you a win-lose relationship because when you a win-lose relationship because when you look at when when really what has to look at when when really what has to look at when when really what has to happen is there needs to be a fair happen is there needs to be a fair happen is there needs to be a fair exchange between both parties your exchange between both parties your exchange between both parties your values and what's most important to you values and what's most important to you values and what's most important to you needs to be equally as served as the needs to be equally as served as the needs to be equally as served as the other person or the other party so other person or the other party so other person or the other party so that's a win-win most relationships it's that's a win-win most relationships it's that's a win-win most relationships it's hey you're gonna serve my values or hey hey you're gonna serve my values or hey hey you're gonna serve my values or hey I'm gonna serve your values and then I'm gonna serve your values and then I'm gonna serve your values and then resentment starts to build because one resentment starts to build because one resentment starts to build because one party is called when you just do it my party is called when you just do it my party is called when you just do it my way way way everything will be better don't get everything will be better don't get everything will be better don't get fixed by one person being served it's fixed by one person being served it's fixed by one person being served it's really just it gets worse and it gets it really just it gets worse and it gets it really just it gets worse and it gets it worst and then eventually there's the worst and then eventually there's the worst and then eventually there's the lose-lose where it's like it's just a lose-lose where it's like it's just a lose-lose where it's like it's just a blow-up fight and no parties get served blow-up fight and no parties get served blow-up fight and no parties get served so really it's like it's being able to so really it's like it's being able to so really it's like it's being able to understand that we are every trade understand that we are every trade understand that we are every trade judgments nothing is good nothing's bad judgments nothing is good nothing's bad judgments nothing is good nothing's bad it's just how we utilize things and it's just how we utilize things and it's just how we utilize things and that's how quote unquote it can be that's how quote unquote it can be that's how quote unquote it can be either good or bad it have drawbacks and either good or bad it have drawbacks and either good or bad it have drawbacks and benefits when looking at triggers were benefits when looking at triggers were benefits when looking at triggers were really triggered internally like when it really triggered internally like when it really triggered internally like when it says is what's unresolved in ourselves says is what's unresolved in ourselves says is what's unresolved in ourselves so it's like a lot of times we'll place so it's like a lot of times we'll place so it's like a lot of times we'll place the blame on somebody else because this the blame on somebody else because this the blame on somebody else because this person quote-unquote was an [  ] and person quote-unquote was an [  ] and person quote-unquote was an [  ] and they did all these dick things to us but they did all these dick things to us but they did all these dick things to us but at the really the honest effect is that at the really the honest effect is that at the really the honest effect is that they were actually allowing us to see they were actually allowing us to see they were actually allowing us to see what's unresolved in our own lives and what's unresolved in our own lives and what's unresolved in our own lives and once you go through and use 'literally once you go through and use 'literally once you go through and use 'literally see that their blessings are not a curse see that their blessings are not a curse see that their blessings are not a curse they were given us an opportunity to they were given us an opportunity to they were given us an opportunity to really go in deeper resolve our issues really go in deeper resolve our issues really go in deeper resolve our issues and love ourselves more and in doing so and love ourselves more and in doing so and love

person it's triggered by from the other person it's really just that negative feedback loop really just that negative feedback loop really just that negative feedback loop giving us information to be able to go giving us information to be able to go giving us information to be able to go in deep and work on ourselves well I in deep and work on ourselves well I in deep and work on ourselves well I think overall like for people listening think overall like for people listening think overall like for people listening to this hugo is like you could easily be to this hugo is like you could easily be to this hugo is like you could easily be like screw that he was an [  ] what like screw that he was an [  ] what like screw that he was an [  ] what are you even talking about but it's just are you even talking about but it's just are you even talking about but it's just you know that's why dr. Nick is doing you know that's why dr. Nick is doing you know that's why dr. Nick is doing this method is because he's probing this method is because he's probing this method is because he's probing better questions that help you to see better questions that help you to see better questions that help you to see things that you can't see and I'm not things that you can't see and I'm not things that you can't see and I'm not saying they weren't an [  ] or saying they weren't an [  ] or saying they weren't an [  ] or anything but I mean but that's the big anything but I mean but that's the big anything but I mean but that's the big part of it like people will like bad part of it like people will like bad part of it like people will like bad things happen I was like of course bad things happen I was like of course bad things happen I was like of course bad things happen that's like there's the things happen that's like there's the things happen that's like there's the pain of the situation that won't change pain of the situation that won't change pain

like traumas suck and a lot of life does like traumas suck and a lot of life does suck and it's not fun at all but it's suck and it's not fun at all but it's suck and it's not fun at all but it's like we don't have to stay with pretty like we don't have to stay with pretty like we don't have to stay with pretty much that feedback mechanism that was much that feedback mechanism that was much that feedback mechanism that was all drawbacks because when you look at all drawbacks because when you look at all drawbacks because when you look at life there's a balance of energy there's life there's a balance of energy there's life there's a balance of energy there's an equal amount of benefits of there are an equal amount of benefits of there are an equal amount of benefits of there are drawbacks

becomes this vicious cycle essentially and what's really cool is essentially and what's really cool is essentially and what's really cool is like when when you look at it that way like when when you look at it that way like when when you look at it that way it's like if you're constantly putting it's like if you're constantly putting it's like if you're constantly putting something that you're supposed to be something that you're supposed to be something that you're supposed to be living up to on a pedestal and knowing living up to on a pedestal and knowing living up to on a pedestal and

from being anxious anxiety and then from being anxious anxiety and then from being anxious we're gonna have guilt and shame and we're gonna have guilt and shame and we're gonna have guilt and shame and then we're gonna be depressed so it's then we're gonna be depressed so it's then we're gonna be depressed so it's what's amazing with that is you know we what's amazing with that is you know we what's amazing with that is you know we can figure this out through going can figure this out through going can figure this out through going through so many different things but one through so many different things but one through so many different things but one of them is actually mapping the of them is actually mapping the of them is actually mapping the electrical activity of the brain so I electrical activity of the brain so I electrical activity of the brain so I was like when doing a brain map through was like when doing a brain map through was like when doing a brain map through what's called a cue EEG it's a what's called a cue EEG it's a what's called a cue EEG it's a quantitative aspect of an EEG looking at quantitative aspect of an EEG looking at quantitative aspect of an EEG looking at the electrical brain waves coming out of the electrical brain waves coming out of the electrical brain waves coming out of the brain when we experience in a state the brain when we experience in a state the brain when we experience in a state of anxiety the prefrontal right cortex of anxiety the prefrontal right cortex of anxiety the prefrontal right cortex is going to be really driven up is going to be really driven up is going to be really driven up the what's called beta wavelengths of the what's called beta wavelengths of the what's called beta wavelengths of the brain so is the hi it's your fancy the brain so is the hi it's your fancy the brain so is the hi it's your fancy my friend hi fast my friend hi fast my friend hi fast bringing waves but what's very bringing waves but what's very bringing waves but what's very interesting about the brain interesting about the brain interesting about the brain understanding that literally understanding that literally understanding that literally everything's always have balanced it everything's always have balanced it everything's always have balanced it will actually go through because when will actually go through because when will actually go through because when you're using up all that energy that is you're using up all that energy that is you're using up all that energy that is gonna get fatigue that's gonna balance gonna get fatigue that's gonna balance gonna get fatigue that's gonna balance out so then it's actually going to shift out so then it's actually going to shift out so then it's actually going to shift and that's when we go into areas are and that's when we go into areas are and that's when we go into areas are like manic depressives depending on how like manic depressives depending on how like manic depressives depending on how polarized you are you may just be polarized you are you may just be polarized you are you may just be slightly and just a slightly depressed slightly and just a slightly depressed slightly and just a slightly depressed but when we go to the press coop it's but when we go to the press coop it's but when we go to the press coop it's going to be higher markers of that going to be higher markers of that going to be higher markers of that prefrontal left cortex and that's going prefrontal left cortex and that's going prefrontal left cortex and that's going to still be high but it's gonna be high to still be high but it's gonna be high to still be high but it's gonna be high in the opposite so instead of your fast in the opposite so instead of your fast in the opposite so instead of your fast brainwaves it's gonna be high in the brainwaves it's gonna be high in the brainwaves it's gonna be high in the slow brainwaves called your delta so slow brainwaves called your delta so slow brainwaves called your delta so it's like when we get into deep sleep it's like when we get into deep sleep it's like when we get into deep sleep that's our Delta brainwaves so you think that's our Delta brainwaves so you think that's our Delta brainwaves so you think you know it's like low and slow so it's you know it's like low and slow so it's you know it's like low and slow so it's like when that high brainwaves of being like when that high brainwaves of being like when that high brainwaves of being slow is low that's what we feel we feel slow is low that's what we feel we feel slow is low that's what we feel we feel well well I think that the other well well I think that the other well well I think that the other component is that is that acute EEG this component is that is that acute EEG this component is that is that acute EEG this there is a way to actually map the brain there is a way to actually map the brain there is a way to actually map the brain there's a way to know what's over firing there's a way to know what's over firing there's a way to know what's over firing what's under firing you know what what what's under firing you know what what what's under firing you know what what brain waves are out of whack and this brain waves are out of whack and this brain waves are out of whack and this can help with sleep this can help with can help with sleep this can help with can help with sleep this can help with developmental issues behavioral issues developmental issues behavioral issues developmental issues behavioral issues depression anxiety and a variety of depression anxiety and a variety of depression anxiety and a variety of other mental health issues so that's other mental health issues so that's other mental health issues so that's like the point of even the slide is like the point of even the slide is like the point of even the slide is understanding that these things do exist understanding that these things do exist understanding that these things do exist in the world there are ways of actually in the world there are ways of actually in the world there are ways of actually measuring your neurotransmitters and measuring your neurotransmitters and measuring your neurotransmitters and figuring out like do you have too little figuring out like do you have too little figuring out like do you have too little serotonin do you have too much do you serotonin do you have too much do you serotonin do you have too much do you dole Amin issue which is a completely dole Amin issue which is a completely dole Amin issue which is a completely different issue and then also leveraging different issue and then also leveraging different issue and then also leveraging better testing to figure out like do you better testing to figure out like do you better testing to figure out like do you have infections that are triggering have infections that are triggering have infections that are triggering immune reactions in your brain which are immune reactions in your brain which are immune reactions in your brain which are then a culprit for why you're not then a culprit for why you're not then a culprit for why you're not producing or absorbing these different producing or absorbing these different producing or absorbing these different feel-good hormones then we also look at feel-good hormones then we also look at feel-good hormones then we also look at you know do you have issues in your gut you know do you have issues in your gut you know do you have issues in your gut do you have issues with blood flow to do you have issues with blood flow to do you have issues with blood flow to your brain there are so many things that your brain there are so many things that your brain there are so many things that need to be considered to really decipher need to be considered to really decipher need to be considered to really decipher what is the root cause to why you feel what is the root cause to why you feel what is the root cause to why you feel the way you do the way you do the way you do and then being able to leverage this and then being able to leverage this and then being able to leverage this testing to really be able to fix the testing to really be able to fix the testing to really be able to fix the foundation because again if you have foundation because again if you have foundation because again if you have just been palliating and using different just been palliating and using different just been palliating and using different medications to manipulate these medications to manipulate these medications to manipulate these neurological hormones like called your neurological hormones like called your neurological hormones like called your neurotransmitters and you're not getting neurotransmitters and you're not getting neurotransmitters and you're not getting anywhere then chances are the testing anywhere then chances are the testing anywhere then chances are the testing you have done has not revealed the root you have done has not revealed the root you have done has not revealed the root cause or the foundational problem so I cause or the foundational problem so I cause or the foundational problem so I know that we've talked about this know that we've talked about this know that we've talked about this already briefly but we often when we're already briefly but we often when we're already briefly but we often when we're dealing and struggling with depression dealing and struggling with depression dealing and struggling with depression and anxiety our thought processes and anxiety our thought processes and anxiety our thought processes medication and or therapy and that's medication and or therapy and that's medication and or therapy and that's really what has been offered to us this really what has been offered to us this really what has been offered to us this is not you know our own fault that we is not you know our own fault that we is not you know our own fault that we don't know what else is out there it's don't know what else is out there it's don't know what else is out there it's just that's the common theme and that's just that's the common theme and that's just that's the common theme and that's the common knowledge and we're here to the common knowledge and we're here to the common knowledge and we're here to really help you understand is that first really help you understand is that first really help you understand is that first of all there's better testing to figure of all there's better testing to figure of all there's better testing to figure out what's the root cause of why you out what's the root cause of why you out what's the root cause of why you feel the way you do but there are also a feel the way you do but there are also a feel the way you do but there are also a lot of other options when it comes to lot of other options when it comes to lot of other options when it comes to helping to get back to feeling good helping to get back to feeling good helping to get back to feeling good again and to not feel anxious and do not again and to not feel anxious and do not again and to not feel anxious and do not have panic attacks and to not you know have panic attacks and to not you know have panic attacks and to not you know not want to get out of bed and you know not want to get out of bed and you know not want to get out of bed and you know some of the therapies that we're using some of the therapies that we're using some of the therapies that we're using we're using that membrane map to figure we're using that membrane map to figure we're using that membrane map to figure out what's imbalance and we're using a out what's imbalance and we're using a out what's imbalance and we're using a therapy called neurofeedback to balance therapy called neurofeedback to balance therapy called neurofeedback to balance out those brain hemispheres we're using out those brain hemispheres we're using out those brain hemispheres we're using a therapy called craniosacral which a therapy called craniosacral which a therapy called craniosacral which actually helps to bring more nutrients actually helps to bring more nutrients actually helps to bring more nutrients and blood flow to the brain we're and blood flow to the brain we're and blood flow to the brain we're helping people to heal their gut we're helping people to heal their gut we're helping people to heal their gut we're using bioenergetic work which is helping using bioenergetic work which is helping using bioenergetic work which is helping you to like let go of the crap you're you to like let go of the crap you're you to like let go of the crap you're holding from everything you absorb from holding from everything you absorb from holding from everything you absorb from your friends and your family and all the your friends and your family and all the your friends and your family and all the people that dump their baggage on you people that dump their baggage on you people that dump their baggage on you and then we have the Demartini method and then we have the Demartini method and then we have the Demartini method which we've broken down into three parts which we've broken down into three parts which we've broken down into three parts and i'm gonna let nick talk more about and i'm gonna let nick talk more about and i'm gonna let nick talk more about this but you know we we sit there and we this but you know we we sit there and we this but you know we we sit there and we help you to establish like what the heck help you to establish like what the heck help you to establish like what the heck do you actually care about like what do do you actually care about like what do do you actually care about like what do you value and from there helping to you value and from there helping to you value and from there helping to probe better questions as to why you're probe better questions as to why you're probe better questions as to why you're still being triggered by a situation or still being triggered by a situation or still being triggered by a situation or why you cannot let go of the shame why why you cannot let go of the shame why why you cannot let go of the shame why do you not let go with the abandonment do you not let go with the abandonment do you not let go with the abandonment why are you still grieving something 25 why are you still grieving something 25 why are you still grieving something 25 years later and working through those years later and working through those years later and working through those aspects and then being able to actually aspects and then being able to actually aspects and then being able to actually know how to step into your world and know how to step into your world and know how to step into your world and your relationships differently and this your relationships differently and this your relationships differently and this is something that we actually learned is something that we actually learned is something that we actually learned because we had a specific woman who went because we had a specific woman who went because we had a specific woman who went through this method with Nick and her through this method with Nick and her through this method with Nick and her mindset about her life and who she was mindset about her life and who she was mindset about her life and who she was completely shifted and some of the completely shifted and some of the completely shifted and some of the things she experienced in her life left things she experienced in her life left things she experienced in her life left her feeling like a victim and she her feeling like a victim and she her feeling like a victim and she noticed that she actually a lot of noticed that she actually a lot of noticed that she actually a lot of people in her her inner circle her group people in her her inner circle her group people in her her inner circle her group of friends were in a very similar of friends were in a very similar of friends were in a very similar mindset and they were constantly putting mindset and they were constantly putting mindset and they were constantly putting a lot of judgment out in the world of a lot of judgment out in the world of a lot of judgment out in the world of you know people that felt empowered and you know people that felt empowered and you know people that felt empowered and saying like you know oh I can't believe saying like you know oh I can't believe saying like you know oh I can't believe they feel like that look who they have a they feel like that look who they have a they feel like that look who they have a huge ego huge pride blah blah blah huge ego huge pride blah blah blah huge ego huge pride blah blah blah because they all were their because they all were their because they all were their self-identity was a victim and when she self-identity was a victim and when she self-identity was a victim and when she was able to free herself of that she was able to free herself of that she was able to free herself of that she actually went back into her friend actually went back into her friend actually went back into her friend circle and they were not happy about it circle and they were not happy about it circle and they were not happy about it and she came to Nick and was kind of and she came to Nick and was kind of and she came to Nick and was kind of like you didn't prepare me for this and like you didn't prepare me for this and like you didn't prepare me for this and that's one of the reasons why we do the that's one of the reasons why we do the that's one of the reasons why we do the implementation session is because once implementation session is because once implementation session is because once you're able to walk away feeling and you're able to walk away feeling and you're able to walk away feeling and functioning very different then functioning very different then functioning very different then sometimes you actually need support on sometimes you actually need support on sometimes you actually need support on how to now step into conversations and how to now step into conversations and how to now step into conversations and relationships in your life so start with relationships in your life so start with relationships in your life so start with step one so I mean I always give an step one so I mean I always give an step one so I mean I always give an analogy it's like it doesn't matter analogy it's like it doesn't matter analogy it's like it doesn't matter whether you're dealing with emotions or whether you're dealing with emotions or whether you're dealing with emotions or whether you're trying to heal the gut whether you're trying to heal the gut whether you're trying to heal the gut it's like you first have to figure out it's like you first have to figure out it's like you first have to figure out the foundation so it's like without a the foundation so it's like without a the foundation so it's like without a foundation you really don't know which foundation you really don't know which foundation you really don't know which direction to move I would say it's like direction to move I would say it's like direction to move I would say it's like if we're gonna go to London how to get if we're gonna go to London how to get if we're gonna go to London how to get there is different if we're in New there is different if we're in New there is different if we're in New Jersey or from Australia Jersey or from Australia Jersey or from Australia so it's like you have to know exactly so it's like you have to know exactly so it's like you have to know exactly where you're at in order to know where where you're at in order to know where where you're at in order to know where you're going and that's really where the you're going and that's really where the you're going and that's really where the values come in so your values what values come in so your values what values come in so your values what Demartini has figured out is it's really Demartini has figured out is it's really Demartini has figured out is it's really what's most important to you he's what's most important to you he's what's most important to you he's written an amazing book called the written an amazing book called the written an amazing book called the values factor I'd say if you're wanting values factor I'd say if you're wanting values factor I'd say if you're wanting to learn more about it that's an awesome to learn more about it that's an awesome to learn more about it that's an awesome place to start but once we get crystal place to start but once we get crystal place to start but once we get crystal clear and what's most important to you clear and what's most important to you clear and what's most important to you that's the foundation then we we have that's the foundation then we we have that's the foundation then we we have somewhere and nowhere to go from that somewhere and nowhere to go from that somewhere and nowhere to go from that where to go from that is always really where to go from that is always really where to go from that is always really trying to figure out what's the most trying to figure out what's the most trying to figure out what's the most polarized aspect in a person's life polarized aspect in a person's life polarized aspect in a person's life I don't know if you guys have read any I don't know if you guys have read any I don't know if you guys have read any of Brian Tracy's information but he of Brian Tracy's information but he of Brian Tracy's information but he wrote a great old book called eat that wrote a great old book called eat that wrote a great old book called eat that frog and the philosophy was it was frog and the philosophy was it was frog and the philosophy was it was literally every single morning eat the literally every single morning eat the literally every single morning eat the Frog you know pick what the hardest most Frog you know pick what the hardest most Frog you know pick what the hardest most difficult task is and do that first difficult task is and do that first difficult task is and do that first because every single thing afterwards is because every single thing afterwards is because every single thing afterwards is going to be easy so really what the going to be easy so really what the going to be easy so really what the Demartini method I always try to start Demartini method I always try to start Demartini method I always try to start to work on the most polarized aspect to work on the most polarized aspect to work on the most polarized aspect that's actually affecting the person so that's actually affecting the person so that's actually affecting the person so polarized can be understanding energy polarized can be understanding energy polarized can be understanding energy both positive and negative so and both positive and negative so and both positive and negative so and they're both detrimental because they they're both detrimental because they they're both detrimental because they both create distress on to our nervous both create distress on to our nervous both create distress on to our nervous system and on to our parts of the body system and on to our parts of the body system and on to our parts of the body so the positive aspects is like what's so the positive aspects is like what's so the positive aspects is like what's why would something be good and bad so why would something be good and bad so why would something be good and bad so it's like if we're overly attached to it's like if we're overly attached to it's like if we're overly attached to something that we're fantasizing about something that we're fantasizing about something that we're fantasizing about or that we overly admire and that's just or that we overly admire and that's just or that we overly admire and that's just as detrimental of something that way to as detrimental of something that way to as detrimental of something that way to spies so it's like it's elbow - first spies so it's like it's elbow - first spies so it's like it's elbow - first and foremost dualities themselves isn't and foremost dualities themselves isn't and foremost dualities themselves isn't that self judgment that we have or is it that self judgment that we have or is it that self judgment that we have or is it something externally that's happened to something externally that's happened to something externally that's happened to us us us is it a trauma is it something that our is it a trauma is it something that our is it a trauma is it something that our parents that we're judging their parents parents that we're judging their parents parents that we're judging their parents or a friend or a co-worker some some or a friend or a co-worker some some or a friend or a co-worker some some type of salt that's happened to us so type of salt that's happened to us so type of salt that's happened to us so once we can get crystal clear on what once we can get crystal clear on what once we can get crystal clear on what actual the action or the treat is that's actual the action or the treat is that's actual the action or the treat is that's been that we're judging then we go been that we're judging then we go been that we're judging then we go through and we literally increase our through and we literally increase our through and we literally increase our awareness through different quality awareness through different quality awareness through different quality questions to be able to help us questions to be able to help us questions to be able to help us really bring into balance both the really bring into balance both the really bring into balance both the drawbacks and the benefits so we're not drawbacks and the benefits so we're not drawbacks and the benefits so we're not being attached to everything's positive being attached to everything's positive being attached to everything's positive and they're not being attached and they're not being attached and they're not being attached everything's you know a drawback and everything's you know a drawback and everything's you know a drawback and negative once we can see both sides negative once we can see both sides negative once we can see both sides clearly then I was saying earlier we can clearly then I was saying earlier we can clearly then I was saying earlier we can actually utilize it to serve us because actually utilize it to serve us because actually utilize it to serve us because we can see the good in the event the we can see the good in the event the we can see the good in the event the trauma the judgment and we can utilize trauma the judgment and we can utilize trauma the judgment and we can utilize that to service and then taking that that to service and then taking that that to service and then taking that forward that really changes our forward that really changes our forward that really changes our programming how we see reality and how programming how we see reality and how programming how we see reality and how we actually instead of reacting we're we actually instead of reacting we're we actually instead of reacting we're actually able to act to things that actually able to act to things that actually able to act to things that happen and from that state of happen and from that state of happen and from that state of empowerment empowerment empowerment our life changes like Nicole said our life changes like Nicole said our life changes like Nicole said sometimes our life changes in what sometimes our life changes in what sometimes our life changes in what receive is to be bad detrimental but receive is to be bad detrimental but receive is to be bad detrimental but it's really just coming from that it's really just coming from that it's really just coming from that awareness side is that every single awareness side is that every single awareness side is that every single growth every single build you have to growth every single build you have to growth every single build you have to have also a destruction it's like if have also a destruction it's like if have also a destruction it's like if you're going to renovate a home you're you're going to renovate a home you're you're going to renovate a home you're usually doing some destruction taking usually doing some destruction taking usually doing some destruction taking out a wall you know ripping things out out a wall you know ripping things out out a wall you know ripping things out to be able to rebuild and put new things to be able to rebuild and put new things to be able to rebuild and put new things at so it's going through and not and why at so it's going through and not and why at so it's going through and not and why I would say and realizing that all I would say and realizing that all I would say and realizing that all growth is not linear you have to have growth is not linear you have to have growth is not linear you have to have really destruction to be able to rebuild really destruction to be able to rebuild really destruction to be able to rebuild and that's really what the the post and that's really what the the post and that's really what the the post Demartini that we've kind of created is Demartini that we've kind of created is Demartini that we've kind of created is realized and coaching to be able to help realized and coaching to be able to help realized and coaching to be able to help evaluate and evolve that new program evaluate and evolve that new program evaluate and evolve that new program that we have yeah so in reality with all that we have yeah so in reality with all that we have yeah so in reality with all of the different things that we've of the different things that we've of the different things that we've covered tonight it you know I think a covered tonight it you know I think a covered tonight it you know I think a lot of people walk away just realizing lot of people walk away just realizing lot of people walk away just realizing you don't know what you don't know and I you don't know what you don't know and I you don't know what you don't know and I know that for awesome we didn't know know that for awesome we didn't know know that for awesome we didn't know what we didn't know we didn't know that what we didn't know we didn't know that what we didn't know we didn't know that emotions can play a role in your emotions can play a role in your emotions can play a role in your physical body we didn't know that just physical body we didn't know that just physical body we didn't know that just purely having a gut issue can play a purely having a gut issue can play a purely having a gut issue can play a role in feeling depressed or anxious we role in feeling depressed or anxious we role in feeling depressed or anxious we didn't know these things and we just didn't know these things and we just didn't know these things and we just continue to learn grow and evolve so continue to learn grow and evolve so continue to learn grow and evolve so that we could better help people because that we could better help people because that we could better help people because we have all dealt with some level of we have all dealt with some level of we have all dealt with some level of emotional things in our lives and we emotional things in our lives and we emotional things in our lives and we might be judging ourselves we might be might be judging ourselves we might be might be judging ourselves we might be feeling judged by others and we just feeling judged by others and we just feeling judged by others and we just don't know what's out there and we just don't know what's out there and we just don't know what's out there and we just don't know what we can do to actually don't know what we can do to actually don't know what we can do to actually help ourselves and a lot of times we're help ourselves and a lot of times we're help ourselves and a lot of times we're just being told it's bad luck just being told it's bad luck just being told it's bad luck bad genes and you know you just need to bad genes and you know you just need to bad genes and you know you just need to take this medication and call it a day take this medication and call it a day take this medication and call it a day and really overall is just most of the and really overall is just most of the and really overall is just most of the depression and anxiety that people are depression and anxiety that people are depression and anxiety that people are experiencing some of it looks like the experiencing some of it looks like the experiencing some of it looks like the textbook and some of it doesn't but I textbook and some of it doesn't but I textbook and some of it doesn't but I think that the most important thing is think that the most important thing is think that the most important thing is that you might have the symptoms of that you might have the symptoms of that you might have the symptoms of depression and anxiety but it doesn't depression and anxiety but it doesn't depression and anxiety but it doesn't mean that you and everybody else who has mean that you and everybody else who has mean that you and everybody else who has depression and anxiety has the same root depression and anxiety has the same root depression and anxiety has the same root cause everyone is extremely different cause everyone is extremely different cause everyone is extremely different and that means that the way that you're and that means that the way that you're and that means that the way that you're going to like help it improve it or get going to like help it improve it or get going to like help it improve it or get through it is going to be very different through it is going to be very different through it is going to be very different so like how an acupuncture be able to so like how an acupuncture be able to so like how an acupuncture be able to help anxiety and depression it can help help anxiety and depression it can help help anxiety and depression it can help in many different ways depending on the in many different ways depending on the in many different ways depending on the meridians that are actually affecting meridians that are actually affecting meridians that are actually affecting the the body and the tissues there's so the the body and the tissues there's so the the body and the tissues there's so many different meridians that go over many different meridians that go over many different meridians that go over and affect the brain that you can work and affect the brain that you can work and affect the brain that you can work on or auricular therapy that is crazy on or auricular therapy that is crazy on or auricular therapy that is crazy beneficial in helping but the beneficial in helping but the beneficial in helping but the interesting aspect of acupuncture and interesting aspect of acupuncture and interesting aspect of acupuncture and reading health is that it's not changed reading health is that it's not changed reading health is that it's not changed in the program it's only actually in the program it's only actually in the program it's only actually increasing the flow of energy so when we increasing the flow of energy so when we increasing the flow of energy so when we have a distress or stressor pretty much have a distress or stressor pretty much have a distress or stressor pretty much creates a roadblock and the meridians creates a roadblock and the meridians creates a roadblock and the meridians though it doesn't allow the proper though it doesn't allow the proper though it doesn't allow the proper information to really travel through and information to really travel through and information to really travel through and then end up going to the tissues or the then end up going to the tissues or the then end up going to the tissues or the organ system so as acupuncture can help organ system so as acupuncture can help organ system so as acupuncture can help in a lot of Meridian technologies and in a lot of Meridian technologies and in a lot of Meridian technologies and aspects but it doesn't change I would aspects but it doesn't change I would aspects but it doesn't change I would say the fundamental problem because say the fundamental problem because say the fundamental problem because anytime that we're actually going anytime that we're actually going anytime that we're actually going through and perceiving that stress again through and perceiving that stress again through and perceiving that stress again we go back to our old program so we're we go back to our old program so we're we go back to our old program so we're going hello if I sees me we're going to going hello if I sees me we're going to going hello if I sees me we're going to react the same way because we haven't react the same way because we haven't react the same way because we haven't actually neutralized and balance out our actually neutralized and balance out our actually neutralized and balance out our new way of thinking so we actually can't new way of thinking so we actually can't new way of thinking so we actually can't act appropriately we're still reacting act appropriately we're still reacting act appropriately we're still reacting and then that this dress is going to go and then that this dress is going to go and then that this dress is going to go back into our energetic beam and maybe back into our energetic beam and maybe back into our energetic beam and maybe it's going to show up in the same it's going to show up in the same it's going to show up in the same brilliance maybe it's going to show up brilliance maybe it's going to show up brilliance maybe it's going to show up in a different slightly form and then in a different slightly form and then in a different slightly form and then we'll be depending on the acupuncture to we'll be depending on the acupuncture to we'll be depending on the acupuncture to constantly be helping us because we constantly be helping us because we constantly be helping us because we haven't taken enough deep steps haven't taken enough deep steps haven't taken enough deep steps to fully resolve the de caza hand well I to fully resolve the de caza hand well I to fully resolve the de caza hand well I think it's kind of the concept so it's think it's kind of the concept so it's think it's kind of the concept so it's like you hate your job and your boss is like you hate your job and your boss is like you hate your job and your boss is treating you terribly but you just go treating you terribly but you just go treating you terribly but you just go and get acupuncture to like help and get acupuncture to like help and get acupuncture to like help de-stress you but you don't change your de-stress you but you don't change your de-stress you but you don't change your situation so it's just being able to situation so it's just being able to situation so it's just being able to have different tools that help you to have different tools that help you to have different tools that help you to step into different to things step into different to things step into different to things differently with a different mindset as differently with a different mindset as differently with a different mindset as well so if you haven't taken it away by well so if you haven't taken it away by well so if you haven't taken it away by now is that you know some of you are new now is that you know some of you are new now is that you know some of you are new to this world of functional integrative to this world of functional integrative to this world of functional integrative medicine and some of you have maybe done medicine and some of you have maybe done medicine and some of you have maybe done functional medicine and are like what functional medicine and are like what functional medicine and are like what the heck is integrative medicine or is the heck is integrative medicine or is the heck is integrative medicine or is it the same thing but I will tell you is it the same thing but I will tell you is it the same thing but I will tell you is that we started our practice using that we started our practice using that we started our practice using functional medicine and really what we functional medicine and really what we functional medicine and really what we were doing we were leveraging better were doing we were leveraging better were doing we were leveraging better testing we were doing more comprehensive testing we were doing more comprehensive testing we were doing more comprehensive blood work we were doing stool samples blood work we were doing stool samples blood work we were doing stool samples and nasal swabs and all of that and then and nasal swabs and all of that and then and nasal swabs and all of that and then what we started to realize is that we what we started to realize is that we what we started to realize is that we were only looking at the body in one were only looking at the body in one were only looking at the body in one view we were just looking at the view we were just looking at the view we were just looking at the chemistry of the body so when we started chemistry of the body so when we started chemistry of the body so when we started to understand the bigger picture and how to understand the bigger picture and how to understand the bigger picture and how emotions play a role and how trauma emotions play a role and how trauma emotions play a role and how trauma plays a role in how neurology plays a plays a role in how neurology plays a plays a role in how neurology plays a role that's what we started to branch role that's what we started to branch role that's what we started to branch into what we call integrative medicine into what we call integrative medicine into what we call integrative medicine so not only are we doing a lot more so not only are we doing a lot more so not only are we doing a lot more elaborate testing that's looking at a elaborate testing that's looking at a elaborate testing that's looking at a lot of different things but also when we lot of different things but also when we lot of different things but also when we work with someone and we give them work with someone and we give them work with someone and we give them solutions is that we're giving them solutions is that we're giving them solutions is that we're giving them solutions to help on many layers as well solutions to help on many layers as well solutions to help on many layers as well so we might be working with the physical so we might be working with the physical so we might be working with the physical body in order to get the gut working body in order to get the gut working body in order to get the gut working better or or get some of the detox better or or get some of the detox better or or get some of the detox pathways working better we might be pathways working better we might be pathways working better we might be using something like a craniosacral using something like a craniosacral using something like a craniosacral therapy to get more blood flow to the therapy to get more blood flow to the therapy to get more blood flow to the brain and then we also might be doing brain and then we also might be doing brain and then we also might be doing other therapies to help work through the other therapies to help work through the other therapies to help work through the different emotional things that we've different emotional things that we've different emotional things that we've gone through as well gone through as well gone through as well so it's really understanding that you so it's really understanding that you so it's really understanding that you were an integration of systems so you were an integration of systems so you were an integration of systems so you need to have more of an integrative need to have more of an integrative need to have more of an integrative approach so that you don't hit approach so that you don't hit approach so that you don't hit roadblocks and you also don't hit roadblocks and you also don't hit roadblocks and you also don't hit plateaus with your own care so I know plateaus with your own care so I know plateaus with your own care so I know that when it comes to this form of that when it comes to this form of that when it comes to this form of health care health care health care we all want to obviously use our very we all want to obviously use our very we all want to obviously use our very high-priced insurance that we all pay high-priced insurance that we all pay high-priced insurance that we all pay for but I will tell you is that you know for but I will tell you is that you know for but I will tell you is that you know when we're dealing with doing better when we're dealing with doing better when we're dealing with doing better testing spending more time is that most testing spending more time is that most testing spending more time is that most doctors are gravitating outside of this doctors are gravitating outside of this doctors are gravitating outside of this insurance category and the only reason insurance category and the only reason insurance category and the only reason why is because they dictate what you can why is because they dictate what you can why is because they dictate what you can and cannot do and they also dictate how and cannot do and they also dictate how and cannot do and they also dictate how much time you can spend so even just the much time you can spend so even just the much time you can spend so even just the Demartini method the first session is 45 Demartini method the first session is 45 Demartini method the first session is 45 minutes and then the second session is minutes and then the second session is minutes and then the second session is anywhere between two to four hours so anywhere between two to four hours so anywhere between two to four hours so this is definitely allowing Nick to give this is definitely allowing Nick to give this is definitely allowing Nick to give you the benefit of what you need to gain you the benefit of what you need to gain you the benefit of what you need to gain out of the session and unfortunately if out of the session and unfortunately if out of the session and unfortunately if you're going to be putting you know that you're going to be putting you know that you're going to be putting you know that on a time clock when it comes to on a time clock when it comes to on a time clock when it comes to insurance as insurance it's just never insurance as insurance it's just never insurance as insurance it's just never going to think that that is medically going to think that that is medically going to think that that is medically necessary for they believe that doctor necessary for they believe that doctor necessary for they believe that doctor spending four hours with the patient spending four hours with the patient spending four hours with the patient that is actually true as well so the that is actually true as well so the that is actually true as well so the great thing about it is obviously people great thing about it is obviously people great thing about it is obviously people can use their health savings accounts can use their health savings accounts can use their health savings accounts and flex savings accounts and also use and flex savings accounts and also use and flex savings accounts and also use their out of network coverage but this their out of network coverage but this their out of network coverage but this is just you know allowing you to have a is just you know allowing you to have a is just you know allowing you to have a method that's going to literally help method that's going to literally help method that's going to literally help you work through tons or many years of you work through tons or many years of you work through tons or many years of things that you're just holding space things that you're just holding space things that you're just holding space for and allow you to ship your for and allow you to ship your for and allow you to ship your perspective and feel free of these perspective and feel free of these perspective and feel free of these things that you've been dealing with things that you've been dealing with things that you've been dealing with that are creating this burden and that are creating this burden and that are creating this burden and obviously the one good thing too is when obviously the one good thing too is when obviously the one good thing too is when we're working from in a lab perspective we're working from in a lab perspective we're working from in a lab perspective and we're doing blood work and we're and we're doing blood work and we're and we're doing blood work and we're doing other lab tests a lot of that is doing other lab tests a lot of that is doing other lab tests a lot of that is actually going through insurance because actually going through insurance because actually going through insurance because it's being billed directly through the it's being billed directly through the it's being billed directly through the lab and you know when it comes to this lab and you know when it comes to this lab and you know when it comes to this world of health care I think that we world of health care I think that we world of health care I think that we forget that it's really about answers forget that it's really about answers forget that it's really about answers and it's also about solutions I think a and it's also about solutions I think a and it's also about solutions I think a lot of people they go through this like lot of people they go through this like lot of people they go through this like merry-go-round of no doctors know what's merry-go-round of no doctors know what's merry-go-round of no doctors know what's wrong and and then they finally get told wrong and and then they finally get told wrong and and then they finally get told like oh you have this autoimmune like oh you have this autoimmune like oh you have this autoimmune condition which is obviously not great condition which is obviously not great condition which is obviously not great news but they're just like thank God news but they're just like thank God news but they're just like thank God somebody knows what's wrong with me and somebody knows what's wrong with me and somebody knows what's wrong with me and now that there's a label now there's a now that there's a label now there's a now that there's a label now there's a medication for it and we forget that you medication for it and we forget that you medication for it and we forget that you know

that and really get to the root cause so that and really get to the root cause so that we can get back to our lives and not we can get back to our lives and not we can get back to our lives and not just feel mediocre but actually feel just feel mediocre but actually feel just feel mediocre but actually feel good again so so what are the really good again so so what are the really good again so so what are the really cool things about our practice too is cool things about our practice too is cool things about our practice too is that we don't guess about anything we that we don't guess about anything we that we don't guess about anything we test everything so we literally test test everything so we literally test test everything so we literally test down to the DNA level we do Meridian down to the DNA level we do Meridian down to the DNA level we do Meridian testing bioenergetic testing we test testing bioenergetic testing we test testing bioenergetic testing we test neurology neurological pathways we look neurology neurological pathways we look neurology neurological pathways we look at neurotransmitters we look at the gut at neurotransmitters we look at the gut at neurotransmitters we look at the gut you literally we run comprehensive blood you literally we run comprehensive blood you literally we run comprehensive blood work we look at everything and you know work we look at everything and you know work we look at everything and you know when it comes you're not testing that's when it comes you're not testing that's when it comes you're not testing that's how what is actually best from a healing how what is actually best from a healing how what is actually best from a healing perspective so sometimes that healing perspective so sometimes that healing perspective so sometimes that healing perspective is really helping to fix perspective is really helping to fix perspective is really helping to fix your gut or balance out your your gut or balance out your your gut or balance out your neurological pathways and sometimes it neurological pathways and sometimes it neurological pathways and sometimes it is actually you leveraging the Demartini is actually you leveraging the Demartini is actually you leveraging the Demartini method so all of these things are method so all of these things are method so all of these things are dictated after we do your testing and dictated after we do your testing and dictated after we do your testing and everything is personalized and extremely everything is personalized and extremely everything is personalized and extremely extremely specific so we do all of this extremely specific so we do all of this extremely specific so we do all of this fancy testing because really for me I fancy testing because really for me I fancy testing because really for me I was so tired of using just your was so tired of using just your was so tired of using just your conventional labs and not feeling like I conventional labs and not feeling like I conventional labs and not feeling like I truly knew what was going on with the truly knew what was going on with the truly knew what was going on with the patient terminals yeah but I would say patient terminals yeah but I would say patient terminals yeah but I would say we'll be starting to shift and evolving we'll be starting to shift and evolving we'll be starting to shift and evolving to who we are and what we do today when to who we are and what we do today when to who we are and what we do today when you're able to have your patient looking you're able to have your patient looking you're able to have your patient looking in the face and say oh my gosh in the face and say oh my gosh in the face and say oh my gosh everything you're saying makes perfect everything you're saying makes perfect everything you're saying makes perfect sense like I really feel like I finally sense like I really feel like I finally sense like I really feel like I finally know what's wrong with me that is just know what's wrong with me that is just know what's wrong with me that is just the best feeling in the world and it the best feeling in the world and it the best feeling in the world and it really allows you to know that you are really allows you to know that you are really allows you to know that you are leveraging better testing in order to leveraging better testing in order to leveraging better testing in order to piece the puzzle together so when you're piece the puzzle together so when you're piece the puzzle together so when you're able to get to the route figure out what able to get to the route figure out what able to get to the route figure out what the heck has been the cause of this the heck has been the cause of this the heck has been the cause of this depression and anxiety that has been depression and anxiety that has been depression and anxiety that has been debilitating you I really think at the debilitating you I really think at the debilitating you I really think at the end of the day end of the day end of the day just priceless you know I I don't I know just priceless you know I I don't I know just priceless you know I I don't I know that there are many people that are just that there are many people that are just that there are many people that are just they want to take the pill they just they want to

about our testing in the great thing about our testing in the great thing about our testing in addition to the Demartini method is that addition to the Demartini method is that addition to the Demartini method is that if you're long distance it's really no if you're long distance it's really no if you're long distance it's really no problem you can actually we can do that problem you can actually we can do that problem you can actually we can do that for all of your testing with a hair for all of your testing with a hair for all of your testing with a hair sample sample sample obviously blood work it's full samples obviously blood work it's full samples obviously blood work it's full samples and things like that are sourced local and things like that are sourced local and things like that are sourced local to you we send you kits you go to a to you we send you kits you go to a to you we send you kits you go to a local lab Corp request but also we have local lab Corp request but also we have local lab Corp request but also we have you send us a hair sample which contains you send us a hair sample which contains you send us a hair sample which contains your DNA and that allows us to do some your DNA and that allows us to do some your DNA and that allows us to do some of our really unique testing from a of our really unique testing from a of our really unique testing from a distance so I have the question box open distance so I have the question box open distance so I have the question box open I don't see any questions that I've come I don't see any questions that I've come I don't see any questions that I've come up so I'm gonna just give you guys the up so I'm gonna just give you guys the up so I'm gonna just give you guys the next few minutes and you do want to pop next few minutes and you do want to pop next few minutes and you do want to pop any questions in there but before that I any questions in there but before that I any questions

what to do so when you finally have know what to do so when you finally have know what to do so when you finally have that moment in time when you can that moment in time when you can that moment in time when you can actually get the testing actually get the testing actually get the testing and figure out what the heck is going on and figure out what the heck is going on and figure out what the heck is going on and what's the root cause and what's and what's the root cause and what's and what's the root cause and what's been the root cause all along that's been the root cause all along that's been the root cause all along that's really when this becomes a breakthrough really when this becomes a breakthrough really when this becomes a breakthrough experience and we really hope that all experience and we really hope that all experience and we really hope that all of you guys can experience that at some of you guys can experience that at some of you guys can experience that at some point in time and shift from just taking point in time and shift from just taking point in time and shift from just taking in the information to actually being in the information to actually being in the information to actually being able to take action on it yeah I was I able to take action on it yeah I was I able to take action on it yeah I was I mean I was late coming in with us mean I was late coming in with us mean I was late coming in with us finishing up a new patient exam and he finishing up a new patient exam and he finishing up a new patient exam and he had seen five or six practitioners had seen five or six practitioners had seen five or six practitioners before coming here and at the end asked before coming here and at the end asked before coming here and at the end asked you know we have more tests to do to you know we have more tests to do to you know we have more tests to do to really you know put all the pieces the really you know put all the pieces the really you know put all the pieces the puzzle together but you have any puzzle together but you have any puzzle together but you have any questions can you goes oops he goes questions can you goes oops he goes questions can you goes oops he goes honestly he's like I'd have learned more honestly he's like I'd have learned more honestly he's like I'd have learned more today than I have in the past five today than I have in the past five today than I have in the past five doctors and I haven't even gone through doctors and I haven't even gone through doctors and I haven't even gone through all the information don't even have all all the information don't even have all all the information don't even have all their information so it's literally it their information so it's literally it their information so it's literally it it just it's it saves you so much time it just it's it saves you so much time it just it's it saves you so much time so much money has so much stress to so much money has so much stress to so much money has so much stress to really just go through and do things really just go through and do things really just go through and do things right the first time yeah
