And having with a client as well. And having with a client as well. And there's so many people that drink coffee there's so many people that drink coffee there's so many people that drink coffee in the world. Um, you know, some drink in the world. Um, you know, some drink in the world. Um, you know, some drink it for pleasure, some drink it to wake it for pleasure, some drink it to wake it for pleasure, some drink it to wake them up in the morning, but there's a them up in the morning, but there's a them up in the morning, but there's a lot of people that drink it because it lot of people that drink it because it lot of people that drink it because it helps them go to the bathroom. Like, do helps them go to the bathroom. Like, do helps them go to the bathroom. Like, do we agree or no? we agree or no? we agree or no? Stimulates that [  ] reflex. Stimulates that [  ] reflex. Stimulates that [  ] reflex. That is a very scientific textbook term. That is a very scientific textbook term. That is a very scientific textbook term. Yes, indeed, my friend. Uh, Yes, indeed, my friend. Uh, Yes, indeed, my friend. Uh, maybe that'll be the title for the maybe that'll be the title for the maybe that'll be the title for the podcast. Well, part of the the podcast. Well, part of the the podcast. Well, part of the the conversation that I was having with a conversation that I was having with a conversation that I was having with a client is, you know, she was uh drinking client is, you know, she was uh drinking client is, you know, she was uh drinking coffee, breastfeeding, and she was like, coffee, breastfeeding, and she was like, coffee, breastfeeding, and she was like, you know, I feel like when I drink you know, I feel like when I drink you know, I feel like when I drink coffee and breastfeed, it helps the baby coffee and breastfeed, it helps the baby coffee and breastfeed, it helps the baby go. And you know, I was obviously go. And you know, I was obviously go. And you know, I was obviously educating her on we don't want to create educating her on we don't want to create educating her on we don't want to create a dependency on caffeine in an infant or a dependency on caffeine in an infant or a dependency on caffeine in an infant or even manipulate the reality because I even manipulate the reality because I even manipulate the reality because I think that's really the biggest thing think that's really the biggest thing think that's really the biggest thing that we see a lot in this current age of that we see a lot in this current age of that we see a lot in this current age of pharmaceuticals is we see that things pharmaceuticals is we see that things pharmaceuticals is we see that things can be manipulated very easily. So it can be manipulated very easily. So it can be manipulated very easily. So it doesn't lead to the opportunity to find doesn't lead to the opportunity to find doesn't lead to the opportunity to find the root cause which allows people to the root cause which allows people to the root cause which allows people to have the best quality of life. You know, have the best quality of life. You know, have the best quality of life. You know, if you get headaches, you can take a if you get headaches, you can take a if you get headaches, you can take a Tylenol, a Motrin, and acetaminophen. Tylenol, a Motrin, and acetaminophen. Tylenol, a Motrin, and acetaminophen. You can take those things. You don't You can take those things. You don't You can take those things. You don't necessarily you're not pained enough to necessarily you're not pained enough to necessarily you're not pained enough to figure out the root cause and deal with figure out the root cause and deal with figure out the root cause and deal with it. But the thing is is if you have it. But the thing is is if you have it. But the thing is is if you have headaches, you have elevated blood headaches, you have elevated blood headaches, you have elevated blood pressure in your intraanial pressure in your intraanial pressure in your intraanial vessels which can lead to way bigger vessels which can lead to way bigger vessels which can lead to way bigger issues later in life from dementia, issues later in life from dementia, issues later in life from dementia, Alzheimer's, stroke, Alzheimer's, stroke, Alzheimer's, stroke, etc. So, we're going to be talking a etc. So, we're going to be talking a etc. So, we're going to be talking a little bit more about that specific little bit more about that specific little bit more about that specific topic, cardiovascular disease in another topic, cardiovascular disease in another topic, cardiovascular disease in another podcast. But the point is is that we podcast. But the point is is that we podcast. But the point is is that we could drink coffee to make us go to the could drink coffee to make us go to the could drink coffee to make us go to the bathroom, but we were the conversation bathroom, but we were the conversation bathroom, but we were the conversation that we were having this morning is like that we were having this morning is like that we were having this morning is like what if tomorrow coffee was just gone? what if tomorrow coffee was just gone? what if tomorrow coffee was just gone? You know, it wasn't on the market You know, it wasn't on the market You know, it wasn't on the market anymore. Like what would be the anymore. Like what would be the anymore. Like what would be the percentage of the population that would percentage of the population that would percentage of the population that would be constipated? Pretty high amount. Pretty high amount. Pretty high amount. And you know, and then the the main two And you know, and then the the main two And you know, and then the the main two drivers, factors we want to bring to drivers, factors we want to bring to drivers, factors we want to bring to this podcast is is helping you to this podcast is is helping you to this podcast is is helping you to understand the underlying foundational understand the underlying foundational understand the underlying foundational problems that are associated with why problems that are associated with why problems that are associated with why you need coffee to go to the bathroom. you need coffee to go to the bathroom. you need coffee to go to the bathroom. And don't get me wrong, we're covering And don't get me wrong, we're covering And don't get me wrong, we're covering two major areas. There's a lot of things two major areas. There's a lot of things two major areas. There's a lot of things that go in between. You know, we're that go in between. You know, we're that go in between. You know, we're going to kind of talk about the black going to kind of talk about the black going to kind of talk about the black and white, but there's a lot in the and white, but there's a lot in the and white, but there's a lot in the gray. gray. gray. So, if we were to look at the hierarchy, So, if we were to look at the hierarchy, So, if we were to look at the hierarchy, you know, you could have things in your you know, you could have things in your you know, you could have things in your gut that shouldn't be there. You could gut that shouldn't be there. You could gut that shouldn't be there. You could have parasites. You could have bacteria. have parasites. You could have bacteria. have parasites. You could have bacteria. You could have yeast overgrowth. You You could have yeast overgrowth. You You could have yeast overgrowth. You could have mold toxicity. There's all could have mold toxicity. There's all could have mold toxicity. There's all those things. those things. those things. But there's a lot of people that might But there's a lot of people that might But there's a lot of people that might be listening in this moment. There's a be listening in this moment. There's a be listening in this moment. There's a lot of people we've worked with that lot of people we've worked with that lot of people we've worked with that have tried to target those infections. have tried to target those infections. have tried to target those infections. They've tried to clear the parasites. They've tried to clear the parasites. They've tried to clear the parasites. They've tried to address their SIBO They've tried to address their SIBO They've tried to address their SIBO naturally, maybe antibiotics. They've naturally, maybe antibiotics. They've naturally, maybe antibiotics. They've done candida cleanses. They've done done candida cleanses. They've done done candida cleanses. They've done elimination diets. And they haven't elimination diets. And they haven't elimination diets. And they haven't necessarily had the outcomes that they necessarily had the outcomes that they necessarily had the outcomes that they wanted. Things are not fully resolved. wanted. Things are not fully resolved. wanted. Things are not fully resolved. And that's because there's a hierarchy And that's because there's a hierarchy And that's because there's a hierarchy of things. And at the top of the of things. And at the top of the of things. And at the top of the hierarchy, there's two major players hierarchy, there's two major players hierarchy, there's two major players that we're going to talk about. One is that we're going to talk about. One is that we're going to talk about. One is your liver, gallbladder, bile system. your liver, gallbladder, bile system. your liver, gallbladder, bile system. And then the second is And then the second is And then the second is your willingness to hold on to [  ] your willingness to hold on to [  ] your willingness to hold on to [  ] literally and figuratively that doesn't literally and figuratively that doesn't literally and figuratively that doesn't serve you. serve you. serve you. And that's the two areas we want to dive And that's the two areas we want to dive And that's the two areas we want to dive into. into. into. And so when you want to get into the And so when you want to get into the And so when you want to get into the physiological physiological physiological physical aspects, physical aspects, physical aspects, if you've listened to our other if you've listened to our other if you've listened to our other podcasts, the the staggering statistic podcasts, the the staggering statistic podcasts, the the staggering statistic of the fif almost 15 years, oh my god, of the fif almost 15 years, oh my god, of the fif almost 15 years, oh my god, we've been doing this, God, we're old. we've been doing this, God, we're old. we've been doing this, God, we're old. um is um is um is about 98% about 98% about 98% honestly it might even be a little honestly it might even be a little honestly it might even be a little higher like 99% of the people that we higher like 99% of the people that we higher like 99% of the people that we have worked with over that length of have worked with over that length of have worked with over that length of time have had been positive for time have had been positive for time have had been positive for autoimmune liver disease autoimmune liver disease autoimmune liver disease people are like I don't understand I people are like I don't understand I people are like I don't understand I don't drink I don't understand I don't I don't drink I don't understand I don't I don't drink I don't understand I don't I don't have pain my liver enzymes were don't have pain my liver enzymes were don't have pain my liver enzymes were never high with my primary care it never high with my primary care it never high with my primary care it doesn't it doesn't matter you don't have doesn't it doesn't matter you don't have doesn't it doesn't matter you don't have to pain. You don't have to have fatty to pain. You don't have to have fatty to pain. You don't have to have fatty liver. You don't have to have liver liver. You don't have to have liver liver. You don't have to have liver cancer. You don't have to have elevated cancer. You don't have to have elevated cancer. You don't have to have elevated enzymes. enzymes. enzymes. You don't have to have any of those You don't have to have any of those You don't have to have any of those things, things, things, but you could still have an autoimmune but you could still have an autoimmune but you could still have an autoimmune attack on your liver. So, they're really not separate. You So, they're really not separate. You So, they're really not separate. You know, we we tend to say that they're know, we we tend to say that they're know, we we tend to say that they're they're separate from they're separate from they're separate from the the two things that you talked the the two things that you talked the the two things that you talked about, the hierarchy of not willing to about, the hierarchy of not willing to about, the hierarchy of not willing to let go of [  ] And then there's the let go of [  ] And then there's the let go of [  ] And then there's the liver gallbladder. But it's really liver gallbladder. But it's really liver gallbladder. But it's really understanding that your physical body is understanding that your physical body is understanding that your physical body is just really a representation of how the just really a representation of how the just really a representation of how the mind's working. mind's working. mind's working. So we found through clinical experience So we found through clinical experience So we found through clinical experience that you can get the best results that you can get the best results that you can get the best results working on both sides because energy is working on both sides because energy is working on both sides because energy is birectional. You can work on the liver birectional. You can work on the liver birectional. You can work on the liver gallbladder on the physical aspect to gallbladder on the physical aspect to gallbladder on the physical aspect to actually help give some extra support to actually help give some extra support to actually help give some extra support to the mind. But if you don't work on the the mind. But if you don't work on the the mind. But if you don't work on the mental connection, the psychossematic mental connection, the psychossematic mental connection, the psychossematic connection back to the liver, the connection back to the liver, the connection back to the liver, the gallbladder, you know, it's either way, gallbladder, you know, it's either way, gallbladder, you know, it's either way, it's an uphill journey if you're only it's an uphill journey if you're only it's an uphill journey if you're only working on one side. working on one side. working on one side. So, breaking it down quickly, you know, So, breaking it down quickly, you know, So, breaking it down quickly, you know, the the liver the the liver the the liver Can I interject really quick so and you Can I interject really quick so and you Can I interject really quick so and you not lose your thought? Because I want not lose your thought? Because I want not lose your thought? Because I want people to understand what that looks people to understand what that looks people to understand what that looks like in in your experience like in in your experience like in in your experience because what you just described is 100% because what you just described is 100% because what you just described is 100% accurate. And what happens sometimes is accurate. And what happens sometimes is accurate. And what happens sometimes is people embark on taking certain people embark on taking certain people embark on taking certain supplements, doing a liver gallbladder supplements, doing a liver gallbladder supplements, doing a liver gallbladder flush, maybe doing a coffee enema, which flush, maybe doing a coffee enema, which flush, maybe doing a coffee enema, which is supportive to um helping the liver is supportive to um helping the liver is supportive to um helping the liver detox, the gallbladder bileducts detox. detox, the gallbladder bileducts detox. detox, the gallbladder bileducts detox. Sometimes people do those physical uh Sometimes people do those physical uh Sometimes people do those physical uh therapies, modalities, supplements, and therapies, modalities, supplements, and therapies, modalities, supplements, and they are having like rage outbursts. they are having like rage outbursts. they are having like rage outbursts. They are crying. They feel mentally They are crying. They feel mentally They are crying. They feel mentally really off. And that's because it's really off. And that's because it's really off. And that's because it's birectional. If you're going to work on birectional. If you're going to work on birectional. If you're going to work on the physicality of things, you can also the physicality of things, you can also the physicality of things, you can also have a mental emotional detox as well. have a mental emotional detox as well. have a mental emotional detox as well. And the same thing happens. We've And the same thing happens. We've And the same thing happens. We've actually seen the most success when we actually seen the most success when we actually seen the most success when we work with people on the mental emotional work with people on the mental emotional work with people on the mental emotional aspects and then they they reach out to aspects and then they they reach out to aspects and then they they reach out to us in our portal and they go, I just us in our portal and they go, I just us in our portal and they go, I just passed parasites. And you know, we passed parasites. And you know, we passed parasites. And you know, we worked with them either the day before, worked with them either the day before, worked with them either the day before, 2 days before, 3 days before. and 2 days before, 3 days before. and 2 days before, 3 days before. and they're like, "I don't understand. I was they're like, "I don't understand. I was they're like, "I don't understand. I was taking supplements for, you know, taking supplements for, you know, taking supplements for, you know, parasites and I didn't pass any and now parasites and I didn't pass any and now parasites and I didn't pass any and now I'm not taking those supplements and I I'm not taking those supplements and I I'm not taking those supplements and I passed them." And I'm like, "Well, it's passed them." And I'm like, "Well, it's passed them." And I'm like, "Well, it's because you had a mental emotional shift because you had a mental emotional shift because you had a mental emotional shift and now things you're you're willing to and now things you're you're willing to and now things you're you're willing to let go of shit." Like literally, you are let go of shit." Like literally, you are let go of shit." Like literally, you are letting go. You're eliminating toxicity letting go. You're eliminating toxicity letting go. You're eliminating toxicity out of your life. you're eliminating out of your life. you're eliminating out of your life. you're eliminating toxic emotions that you've been holding toxic emotions that you've been holding toxic emotions that you've been holding on to. And so, you know, and it's not on to. And so, you know, and it's not on to. And so, you know, and it's not just about passing parasites. Sometimes just about passing parasites. Sometimes just about passing parasites. Sometimes people work through mental emotional people work through mental emotional people work through mental emotional stuff and they're like they they get a stuff and they're like they they get a stuff and they're like they they get a flu, they feel sick, they get a runny flu, they feel sick, they get a runny flu, they feel sick, they get a runny nose, they get a stomach ache. So, nose, they get a stomach ache. So, nose, they get a stomach ache. So, again, it's very birectional. And a lot again, it's very birectional. And a lot again, it's very birectional. And a lot of times we can perceive these things as of times we can perceive these things as of times we can perceive these things as bad. Oh my gosh, I'm having an emotional bad. Oh my gosh, I'm having an emotional bad. Oh my gosh, I'm having an emotional meltdown after starting my supplements. meltdown after starting my supplements. meltdown after starting my supplements. Oh, um, I did mental emotional work and Oh, um, I did mental emotional work and Oh, um, I did mental emotional work and now I feel like [  ] and my immune now I feel like [  ] and my immune now I feel like [  ] and my immune system's run down. It nothing is bad. system's run down. It nothing is bad. system's run down. It nothing is bad. It's just part of the process. So, when It's just part of the process. So, when It's just part of the process. So, when you understand that, you can lean into you understand that, you can lean into you understand that, you can lean into it and everything can pass quicker and it and everything can pass quicker and it and everything can pass quicker and you can recover faster. you can recover faster. you can recover faster. [Music] [Music] [Music] Yeah, pain isn't always a bad thing. Yeah, pain isn't always a bad thing. Yeah, pain isn't always a bad thing. It's a 100% just why is it created? It's a 100% just why is it created? It's a 100% just why is it created? So, jumping back to what I was going to So, jumping back to what I was going to So, jumping back to what I was going to say, but tying into more of kind of say, but tying into more of kind of say, but tying into more of kind of where you went with that explanation is where you went with that explanation is where you went with that explanation is when you look at the simply put, it gets when you look at the simply put, it gets when you look at the simply put, it gets more confusing uh more complicated I more confusing uh more complicated I more confusing uh more complicated I guess than this. But you have the liver, guess than this. But you have the liver, guess than this. But you have the liver, the gallbladder, and you know, the liver the gallbladder, and you know, the liver the gallbladder, and you know, the liver is in Chinese medicine kind of the the is in Chinese medicine kind of the the is in Chinese medicine kind of the the storage center for your anger, your storage center for your anger, your storage center for your anger, your resentment, all all of that. Yeah. Yeah. resentment, all all of that. Yeah. Yeah. resentment, all all of that. Yeah. Yeah. And the the bile is, you know, that goes And the the bile is, you know, that goes And the the bile is, you know, that goes along with bitterness um for the most along with bitterness um for the most along with bitterness um for the most part. And so when you think of anger, part. And so when you think of anger, part. And so when you think of anger, anger is really when you talked about anger is really when you talked about anger is really when you talked about holding on to [  ] holding on to [  ] holding on to [  ] You most people get angry when you You most people get angry when you You most people get angry when you really look at it because you're you're really look at it because you're you're really look at it because you're you're stuck. You haven't released that. You're stuck. You haven't released that. You're stuck. You haven't released that. You're holding on to whatever it is and it's holding on to whatever it is and it's holding on to whatever it is and it's making you [  ] angry. And that is making you [  ] angry. And that is making you [  ] angry. And that is really goes back to the the depths of it really goes back to the the depths of it really goes back to the the depths of it of a decision-making issue. And this is of a decision-making issue. And this is of a decision-making issue. And this is what people don't really talk about is what people don't really talk about is what people don't really talk about is like, you know, you have to work on like, you know, you have to work on like, you know, you have to work on what's what's the anger aspect. Well, what's what's the anger aspect. Well, what's what's the anger aspect. Well, what created the anger? It was a shitty what created the anger? It was a shitty what created the anger? It was a shitty decision. decision. decision. And And And that's that's that's I'm like I'm literally playing so many I'm like I'm literally playing so many I'm like I'm literally playing so many stories of my own life in my head right stories of my own life in my head right stories of my own life in my head right now. So, yes. now. So, yes. now. So, yes. And I was trying to put play in there And I was trying to put play in there And I was trying to put play in there with a, you know, [  ] decision. Um, dad with a, you know, [  ] decision. Um, dad with a, you know, [  ] decision. Um, dad joke. Getting really good at them. joke. Getting really good at them. joke. Getting really good at them. Oh, yeah. It's really brutal. Oh, yeah. It's really brutal. Oh, yeah. It's really brutal. It's bad. It's bad. It's bad. But we made a shitty decision or that's But we made a shitty decision or that's But we made a shitty decision or that's the perception that we have that keeps the perception that we have that keeps the perception that we have that keeps us stuck and then we create a story us stuck and then we create a story us stuck and then we create a story around being stuck and that story tends around being stuck and that story tends around being stuck and that story tends to grow um and grow and grow and grow to grow um and grow and grow and grow to grow um and grow and grow and grow and we try to go back and change the and we try to go back and change the and we try to go back and change the story. Hence what therapy most therapy story. Hence what therapy most therapy story. Hence what therapy most therapy does is you know works in the story but does is you know works in the story but does is you know works in the story but the story is [  ] It's not true. the story is [  ] It's not true. the story is [  ] It's not true. Absolutely. Absolutely. Absolutely. So you have it's a halftruth. Well even So you have it's a halftruth. Well even So you have it's a halftruth. Well even if that's the case. So you you go back if that's the case. So you you go back if that's the case. So you you go back to that moment where their true to that moment where their true to that moment where their true resentment, anger, frustration, etc. resentment, anger, frustration, etc. resentment, anger, frustration, etc. came from which is the judgment of that came from which is the judgment of that came from which is the judgment of that decision. It might not be right when you decision. It might not be right when you decision. It might not be right when you made the decision because you didn't made the decision because you didn't made the decision because you didn't have the judgment or the splitness then. have the judgment or the splitness then. have the judgment or the splitness then. It was when you really first judge that It was when you really first judge that It was when you really first judge that decision and that's when you go through decision and that's when you go through decision and that's when you go through cuz it's the quality of space that cuz it's the quality of space that cuz it's the quality of space that actually creates time which is confusing actually creates time which is confusing actually creates time which is confusing for people unless you're autistic like for people unless you're autistic like for people unless you're autistic like me. me. me. Yeah. I'm like what Yeah. I'm like what Yeah. I'm like what space? space? space? Space is really Space is really Space is really created subjectively. So space is created subjectively. So space is created subjectively. So space is created by the perception created by the perception created by the perception and then from how we judge how we and then from how we judge how we and then from how we judge how we perceive that space we have an perceive that space we have an perceive that space we have an experience experience experience and and and what's the tool for experience time. So what's the tool for experience time. So what's the tool for experience time. So when people we live in this universe of when people we live in this universe of when people we live in this universe of spaceime that's really all people are spaceime that's really all people are spaceime that's really all people are saying is perception collapses the saying is perception collapses the saying is perception collapses the particle into the space particle into the space particle into the space and the only way we can perceive space and the only way we can perceive space and the only way we can perceive space is through time through experiences. So is through time through experiences. So is through time through experiences. So if we want to change the quality of our if we want to change the quality of our if we want to change the quality of our experience, it's not through time. It's experience, it's not through time. It's experience, it's not through time. It's going back and changing our perception going back and changing our perception going back and changing our perception in that moment, the space. in that moment, the space. in that moment, the space. And that's honestly the only And that's honestly the only And that's honestly the only scientifically way this can truly occur. scientifically way this can truly occur. scientifically way this can truly occur. Well, it's like looking at the world Well, it's like looking at the world Well, it's like looking at the world glass full, glass empty, you know, like glass full, glass empty, you know, like glass full, glass empty, you know, like if for for if we want to really really if for for if we want to really really if for for if we want to really really really dumb it down as as much as really dumb it down as as much as really dumb it down as as much as possible for just basic understanding. possible for just basic understanding. possible for just basic understanding. It's just, you know, two people can look It's just, you know, two people can look It's just, you know, two people can look at the same situation, the same at the same situation, the same at the same situation, the same conversation and perceive it in two conversation and perceive it in two conversation and perceive it in two totally different ways. You know, you totally different ways. You know, you totally different ways. You know, you can call one person the pessimist and can call one person the pessimist and can call one person the pessimist and one person the optimist, but it's just one person the optimist, but it's just one person the optimist, but it's just it this is what I'm kind of describing it this is what I'm kind of describing it this is what I'm kind of describing with the halftruth is nothing is all with the halftruth is nothing is all with the halftruth is nothing is all good or all bad. it could fall right in good or all bad. it could fall right in good or all bad. it could fall right in the middle. Um, but it's the lens that the middle. Um, but it's the lens that the middle. Um, but it's the lens that you look at things from. If if you look you look at things from. If if you look you look at things from. If if you look at the lens, at the lens, at the lens, you're really only set free you're really only set free you're really only set free when the awareness is both of those, the when the awareness is both of those, the when the awareness is both of those, the optimist and the pessimist. optimist and the pessimist. optimist and the pessimist. That's what I was going to say. That's what I was going to say. That's what I was going to say. And and we get taught that, you know, And and we get taught that, you know, And and we get taught that, you know, don't be a pessimist, just be an don't be a pessimist, just be an don't be a pessimist, just be an optimist. But that's the same side, the optimist. But that's the same side, the optimist. But that's the same side, the opposite side of the same problem. opposite side of the same problem. opposite side of the same problem. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, You know, You know, but it's also [  ] unrealistic. And but it's also [  ] unrealistic. And but it's also [  ] unrealistic. And this is why people become pessimistic this is why people become pessimistic this is why people become pessimistic because if you try to be optimistic and because if you try to be optimistic and because if you try to be optimistic and then you get burned, then you're like, then you get burned, then you're like, then you get burned, then you're like, "Oh, everybody sucks or everything "Oh, everybody sucks or everything "Oh, everybody sucks or everything sucks." And but at the end of the day, sucks." And but at the end of the day, sucks." And but at the end of the day, well, I might as well do this cuz it's well, I might as well do this cuz it's well, I might as well do this cuz it's going to protect me. It's going to going to protect me. It's going to going to protect me. It's going to protect me. protect me. protect me. It's a protection. And that's one thing It's a protection. And that's one thing It's a protection. And that's one thing that I want to drive home is that that I want to drive home is that that I want to drive home is that it's funny. I somebody like re-shared it's funny. I somebody like re-shared it's funny. I somebody like re-shared something that I I posted a couple of something that I I posted a couple of something that I I posted a couple of weeks ago and I was almost like reminded weeks ago and I was almost like reminded weeks ago and I was almost like reminded of of the lesson. Um, that's very of of the lesson. Um, that's very of of the lesson. Um, that's very congruent with what we're talking about. congruent with what we're talking about. congruent with what we're talking about. But you can use people will use their But you can use people will use their But you can use people will use their pain and use their anger. I did this for pain and use their anger. I did this for pain and use their anger. I did this for many, many years. You know, I held I I many, many years. You know, I held I I many, many years. You know, I held I I didn't know this consciously, but I was didn't know this consciously, but I was didn't know this consciously, but I was holding on to the anger of my past in holding on to the anger of my past in holding on to the anger of my past in order to be the driver to keep me going order to be the driver to keep me going order to be the driver to keep me going to achieve a certain level of to achieve a certain level of to achieve a certain level of achievement, success. You I don't even achievement, success. You I don't even achievement, success. You I don't even want to call it success. That's why I'm want to call it success. That's why I'm want to call it success. That's why I'm hesitating because hesitating because hesitating because I was so angry of of always I was so angry of of always I was so angry of of always living in a place of scarcity as a young living in a place of scarcity as a young living in a place of scarcity as a young kid that I was like, I will do whatever kid that I was like, I will do whatever kid that I was like, I will do whatever it [  ] takes to not have that be my it [  ] takes to not have that be my it [  ] takes to not have that be my continued reality. So, I was willing to continued reality. So, I was willing to continued reality. So, I was willing to work 80 hours a week and sacrifice work 80 hours a week and sacrifice work 80 hours a week and sacrifice myself, bend over backwards, make myself, bend over backwards, make myself, bend over backwards, make accommodations, this and that. And so accommodations, this and that. And so accommodations, this and that. And so this is kind of what you're saying with this is kind of what you're saying with this is kind of what you're saying with the decision-making issue is that when the decision-making issue is that when the decision-making issue is that when you use, let me just finish this you use, let me just finish this you use, let me just finish this statement. Like when you use your pain, statement. Like when you use your pain, statement. Like when you use your pain, you use your anger to get to get you use your anger to get to get you use your anger to get to get yourself or to use it as a driver, yourself or to use it as a driver, yourself or to use it as a driver, you make a lot of decisions out of you make a lot of decisions out of you make a lot of decisions out of desperation. You don't make decisions desperation. You don't make decisions desperation. You don't make decisions out of inspiration. And this is where out of inspiration. And this is where out of inspiration. And this is where you just continue to piss yourself off. you just continue to piss yourself off. you just continue to piss yourself off. Well, and that's the the black and white Well, and that's the the black and white Well, and that's the the black and white aspect of it. when I was going through aspect of it. when I was going through aspect of it. when I was going through and saying like, you know, and that will and saying like, you know, and that will and saying like, you know, and that will grow. The anger will just grow. It's grow. The anger will just grow. It's grow. The anger will just grow. It's growing because growing because growing because you've learned to use it to serve you've learned to use it to serve you've learned to use it to serve yourself. yourself. yourself. Yep. Yep. Yep. Which is starts out great, but then it Which is starts out great, but then it Which is starts out great, but then it becomes imbalance and issue when that's becomes imbalance and issue when that's becomes imbalance and issue when that's your primary tool. So then, like you your primary tool. So then, like you your primary tool. So then, like you said, it's like I use the anger to force said, it's like I use the anger to force said, it's like I use the anger to force me to work. I use the anger to learn. I me to work. I use the anger to learn. I me to work. I use the anger to learn. I use the anger to this. use the anger to this. use the anger to this. And guess what? That goes right to the And guess what? That goes right to the And guess what? That goes right to the very start of our conversation is very start of our conversation is very start of our conversation is dependency. You become dependent on dependency. You become dependent on dependency. You become dependent on coffee to go to the bathroom. You can be coffee to go to the bathroom. You can be coffee to go to the bathroom. You can be like I did the same thing but it was like I did the same thing but it was like I did the same thing but it was with exercise. with exercise. with exercise. Exercise. I became dependent on exercise Exercise. I became dependent on exercise Exercise. I became dependent on exercise as my therapist as a release of my as my therapist as a release of my as my therapist as a release of my anger. anger. anger. And it was awesome. I was in fantastic And it was awesome. I was in fantastic And it was awesome. I was in fantastic shape. And but the sad part of it is for shape. And but the sad part of it is for shape. And but the sad part of it is for me is like and I think a lot of people me is like and I think a lot of people me is like and I think a lot of people is once you balance out the root cause is once you balance out the root cause is once you balance out the root cause and you're not holding on and using the and you're not holding on and using the and you're not holding on and using the anger anymore I didn't want anger anymore I didn't want anger anymore I didn't want an identity crisis. an identity crisis. an identity crisis. Well I didn't want to exercise because I Well I didn't want to exercise because I Well I didn't want to exercise because I wasn't using exercise actually to be wasn't using exercise actually to be wasn't using exercise actually to be healthy healthy healthy but you also kind of guilt and shamed but you also kind of guilt and shamed but you also kind of guilt and shamed yourself about it. You were like oh gosh yourself about it. You were like oh gosh yourself about it. You were like oh gosh I should be exercising and it was like I should be exercising and it was like I should be exercising and it was like your driver for exercise wasn't there. your driver for exercise wasn't there. your driver for exercise wasn't there. And then you know it took you a while to And then you know it took you a while to And then you know it took you a while to finally transform that like how do I finally transform that like how do I finally transform that like how do I how to create a different relationship. how to create a different relationship. how to create a different relationship. How do I uh do physical movement out of How do I uh do physical movement out of How do I uh do physical movement out of inspiration and not desperation? And inspiration and not desperation? And inspiration and not desperation? And that took you a while to finally figure that took you a while to finally figure that took you a while to finally figure out, out, out, you know, what is this? What does this you know, what is this? What does this you know, what is this? What does this new version look like? The one that new version look like? The one that new version look like? The one that And it looks weird as [  ] And it looks weird as [  ] And it looks weird as [  ] Yeah. Nick's doing like weird [  ] in Yeah. Nick's doing like weird [  ] in Yeah. Nick's doing like weird [  ] in the yard. I'm like, I'm so glad like we the yard. I'm like, I'm so glad like we the yard. I'm like, I'm so glad like we have enough trees that neighbors can't have enough trees that neighbors can't have enough trees that neighbors can't see you. see you. see you. It looks like I'm on drugs, but I'm not. It looks like I'm on drugs, but I'm not. It looks like I'm on drugs, but I'm not. I'm just like I'm just like I'm just like like, yeah, one with the trees and the like, yeah, one with the trees and the like, yeah, one with the trees and the grass. grass. grass. Um, but yeah, it's just kind of rounding Um, but yeah, it's just kind of rounding Um, but yeah, it's just kind of rounding out what we're saying too, and this is out what we're saying too, and this is out what we're saying too, and this is what I said in one of the recent social what I said in one of the recent social what I said in one of the recent social media posts, was you get to a place media posts, was you get to a place media posts, was you get to a place where where where you feel the most stuck and the most out you feel the most stuck and the most out you feel the most stuck and the most out of balance or even unfulfilled than you of balance or even unfulfilled than you of balance or even unfulfilled than you have. And it's because the driver that have. And it's because the driver that have. And it's because the driver that that you've used, if it's been your your that you've used, if it's been your your that you've used, if it's been your your anger, your pain, your resentment, anger, your pain, your resentment, anger, your pain, your resentment, whatever it is, whatever it is, whatever it is, you've exhausted that tool, you've you've exhausted that tool, you've you've exhausted that tool, you've exhausted that driver, and now you feel exhausted that driver, and now you feel exhausted that driver, and now you feel like so stuck and so overwhelmed with like so stuck and so overwhelmed with like so stuck and so overwhelmed with that stuck because you're like, what do that stuck because you're like, what do that stuck because you're like, what do I use? I use? I use? That's the psychosmatic. That's the psychosmatic. That's the psychosmatic. That's the psychosmatic is that you That's the psychosmatic is that you That's the psychosmatic is that you physically do get stuck. The bile gets physically do get stuck. The bile gets physically do get stuck. The bile gets stuck. Like when you're hitting that max stuck. Like when you're hitting that max stuck. Like when you're hitting that max mental aspect of I'm a just a bitter son mental aspect of I'm a just a bitter son mental aspect of I'm a just a bitter son of a [  ] Like the body's equally of a [  ] Like the body's equally of a [  ] Like the body's equally right there represent right there represent right there represent when you have the gallbladder attacks when you have the gallbladder attacks when you have the gallbladder attacks and and it's it's just it's for me it's and and it's it's just it's for me it's and and it's it's just it's for me it's beautiful because beautiful because beautiful because everything's so perfect working everything's so perfect working everything's so perfect working together. together. together. But it's only beautiful when we can see But it's only beautiful when we can see But it's only beautiful when we can see it to use it to serve ourselves. it to use it to serve ourselves. it to use it to serve ourselves. Yes. Otherwise, we stay in the anger, Yes. Otherwise, we stay in the anger, Yes. Otherwise, we stay in the anger, the bitter, the resentment, the bitter, the resentment, the bitter, the resentment, and then you have a gall have a less one and then you have a gall have a less one and then you have a gall have a less one less organ. You get your gallbladder less organ. You get your gallbladder less organ. You get your gallbladder out. Um, or you get, you know, part of out. Um, or you get, you know, part of out. Um, or you get, you know, part of your liver removed because it's so your liver removed because it's so your liver removed because it's so damaged. Um, or you go on medications damaged. Um, or you go on medications damaged.

Um so the moral of different podcast. Um so the moral of different podcast. Um so the moral of the story is is that the story is is that the story is is that uh you know our our coffee side uh you know our our coffee side uh you know our our coffee side conversation of of talking about how a conversation of of talking about how a conversation of of talking about how a whole you know country maybe even the whole you know country maybe even the whole you know country maybe even the whole world could potentially become whole world could potentially become whole world could potentially become constipated by removing coffee away. The constipated by removing coffee away. The constipated by removing coffee away. The point is is that it's about looking at point is is that it's about looking at point is is that it's about looking at what's underneath the hood. What's what's underneath the hood. What's what's underneath the hood. What's underneath of that? You know, why do we underneath of that? You know, why do we underneath of that? You know, why do we have so many people that are dealing have so many people that are dealing have so many people that are dealing with, you know, abnormal bowel function with, you know, abnormal bowel function with, you know, abnormal bowel function with a, you know, leaning towards with a, you know, leaning towards with a, you know, leaning towards constipation without coffee or or other constipation without coffee or or other constipation without coffee or or other types of diuretics. And you know we have types of diuretics. And you know we have types of diuretics. And you know we have to look at there's a lot of things to to look at there's a lot of things to to look at there's a lot of things to look at but if we again go to that look at but if we again go to that look at but if we again go to that hierarchy we need to look at liver hierarchy we need to look at liver hierarchy we need to look at liver function gallbladder function the health function gallbladder function the health function gallbladder function the health of the bileducts and we need to look at of the bileducts and we need to look at of the bileducts and we need to look at the psychosmatic of you know what are the psychosmatic of you know what are the psychosmatic of you know what are you holding on to that doesn't serve you you holding on to that doesn't serve you you holding on to that doesn't serve you but you're using it as a driver to keep but you're using it as a driver to keep but you're using it as a driver to keep you going in your life. And one of the you going in your life. And one of the you going in your life. And one of the best things, my favorite quote is the best things, my favorite quote is the best things, my favorite quote is the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of your life is dictated by the quality of the questions you ask. So if quality of the questions you ask. So if quality of the questions you ask. So if you ask, "What are you holding on to?" you ask, "What are you holding on to?" you ask, "What are you holding on to?" and nothing's really coming up. Well, and nothing's really coming up. Well, and nothing's really coming up. Well, don't ask the same question. Just ask don't ask the same question. Just ask don't ask the same question. Just ask the same type of question, but a the same type of question, but a the same type of question, but a different question. You know, maybe go different question. You know, maybe go different question. You know, maybe go deeper like deeper like deeper like what what decision making have I done in what what decision making have I done in what what decision making have I done in the past that I would change? Because if the past that I would change? Because if the past that I would change? Because if you want to change something, it means you want to change something, it means you want to change something, it means you haven't figured out how to fully use you haven't figured out how to fully use you haven't figured out how to fully use it. It's still working against you. it. It's still working against you. it. It's still working against you. You don't want to change something You don't want to change something You don't want to change something that's that you've completely, you know, that's that you've completely, you know, that's that you've completely, you know, is serving you. is serving you. is serving you. That's called love, gratitude. That's called love, gratitude. That's called love, gratitude. But if you want to change something, But if you want to change something, But if you want to change something, there's no love. There's no gratitude. there's no love. There's no gratitude. there's no love. There's no gratitude. And that's that's the polarized mind. And that's that's the polarized mind. And that's that's the polarized mind. And that polarized mind, that's what And that polarized mind, that's what And that polarized mind, that's what gets dropped down into the subconscious, gets dropped down into the subconscious, gets dropped down into the subconscious, what gets held in the tissues of the what gets held in the tissues of the what gets held in the tissues of the body, which then is a representation of body, which then is a representation of body, which then is a representation of dysfunction, what we call disease. But dysfunction, what we call disease. But dysfunction, what we call disease. But it's the disease is really just an it's the disease is really just an it's the disease is really just an imbalanced mind, an imbalanced imbalanced mind, an imbalanced imbalanced mind, an imbalanced perception. perception. perception. Yeah. And for those of you looking for Yeah. And for those of you looking for Yeah. And for those of you looking for more of these tangible um more of these tangible um more of these tangible um tools, solutions, you know, I mentioned tools, solutions, you know, I mentioned tools, solutions, you know, I mentioned earlier earlier earlier that a lot of times when people have that a lot of times when people have that a lot of times when people have liver dysfunction, they have completely liver dysfunction, they have completely liver dysfunction, they have completely normal enzymes. So for most of you that normal enzymes. So for most of you that normal enzymes. So for most of you that have had basic blood work done, they've have had basic blood work done, they've have had basic blood work done, they've looked at two markers called A and ALT, looked at two markers called A and ALT, looked at two markers called A and ALT, which are liver enzyme markers. Very, which are liver enzyme markers. Very, which are liver enzyme markers. Very, very, very rarely are those out of very, very rarely are those out of very, very rarely are those out of range. And you know, most people just range. And you know, most people just range. And you know, most people just get the green light like your liver is get the green light like your liver is get the green light like your liver is is functioning totally fine. And you is functioning totally fine. And you is functioning totally fine. And you know, two things is you can still have know, two things is you can still have know, two things is you can still have normal enzymes and have an autoimmune normal enzymes and have an autoimmune normal enzymes and have an autoimmune liver attack. Number two is this is not liver attack. Number two is this is not liver attack. Number two is this is not about alcohol because anything and about alcohol because anything and about alcohol because anything and everything is filtered through the everything is filtered through the everything is filtered through the liver. for all the pesticides that are liver. for all the pesticides that are liver. for all the pesticides that are on your food, the chemicals that are in on your food, the chemicals that are in on your food, the chemicals that are in the tap water, the chemicals that are in the tap water, the chemicals that are in the tap water, the chemicals that are in the water that you shower in, any drugs, the water that you shower in, any drugs, the water that you shower in, any drugs, over-the-counter medications, over-the-counter medications, over-the-counter medications, anesthesia, all of those things are anesthesia, all of those things are anesthesia, all of those things are processed through the liver, plus more. processed through the liver, plus more. processed through the liver, plus more. So, there is a lot of reasons why your So, there is a lot of reasons why your So, there is a lot of reasons why your liver might be taxed out from more of a liver might be taxed out from more of a liver might be taxed out from more of a physical standpoint, let alone what physical standpoint, let alone what physical standpoint, let alone what we're talking about here when it comes we're talking about here when it comes we're talking about here when it comes to the mental and emotional aspects. So to the mental and emotional aspects. So to the mental and emotional aspects. So these are are factors that you really these are are factors that you really these are are factors that you really need to to understand. And you know need to to understand. And you know need to to understand. And you know there are simple things that you can do there are simple things that you can do there are simple things that you can do to really kind of test your liver. You to really kind of test your liver. You to really kind of test your liver. You know how well is it functioning? You know how well is it functioning? You know how well is it functioning? You know there's some people that will go know there's some people that will go know there's some people that will go and do uh castor oil packs and then and do uh castor oil packs and then and do uh castor oil packs and then they'll realize that you know it they'll realize that you know it they'll realize that you know it completely shifts their bowel function. completely shifts their bowel function. completely shifts their bowel function. So, you know, there there are simple So, you know, there there are simple So, you know, there there are simple at-home things that you can do to really at-home things that you can do to really at-home things that you can do to really look at the physicality of your liver, look at the physicality of your liver, look at the physicality of your liver, but as we always say, you know, you but as we always say, you know, you but as we always say, you know, you can't really get very far without data. can't really get very far without data. can't really get very far without data. You need to really understand the big You need to really understand the big You need to really understand the big picture of what's going on. you know, picture of what's going on. you know, picture of what's going on. you know, get the blood work done for the get the blood work done for the get the blood work done for the autoimmune liver panel and and then have autoimmune liver panel and and then have autoimmune liver panel and and then have someone have the ability to look at the someone have the ability to look at the someone have the ability to look at the big picture of everything, the mental, big picture of everything, the mental, big picture of everything, the mental, the emotional, the gut, the liver, the the emotional, the gut, the liver, the the emotional, the gut, the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood sugar, because it all works together. sugar, because it all works together. sugar, because it all works together. And so it all works together um And so it all works together um And so it all works together um harmoniously until it doesn't. So this harmoniously until it doesn't. So this harmoniously until it doesn't. So this is one of the reasons why people have is one of the reasons why people have is one of the reasons why people have the the ripple effect. you know they the the ripple effect. you know they the the ripple effect. you know they they have blood sugar dysregulation but they have blood sugar dysregulation but they have blood sugar dysregulation but then they also get constipation in then they also get constipation in then they also get constipation in conjunction etc. So, there's a whole conjunction etc. So, there's a whole conjunction etc. So, there's a whole intricacy of organs that work together intricacy of organs that work together intricacy of organs that work together uh when it comes to having properly uh when it comes to having properly uh when it comes to having properly functioning digestion. And when you go functioning digestion. And when you go functioning digestion. And when you go to a gastro and they only look at that to a gastro and they only look at that to a gastro and they only look at that and they're not looking at the liver, and they're not looking at the liver, and they're not looking at the liver, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood the gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood the gallbladder, the pancreas, the blood sugar, you have a problem because you're sugar, you have a problem because you're sugar, you have a problem because you're only getting a portion of the only getting a portion of the only getting a portion of the information. information. information. And then, you know, we all know that you And then, you know, we all know that you And then, you know, we all know that you go to a therapist or a psychiatrist and go to a therapist or a psychiatrist and go to a therapist or a psychiatrist and and they're not necessarily looking at and they're not necessarily looking at and they're not necessarily looking at the health of your organs or how your the health of your organs or how your the health of your organs or how your IBS is correlated to your mental and IBS is correlated to your mental and IBS is correlated to your mental and emotional state or your stress levels. emotional state or your stress levels. emotional state or your stress levels. So, you know, we're always going to be So, you know, we're always going to be So, you know, we're always going to be the biggest advocates for the the biggest advocates for the the biggest advocates for the integrative approach because integrative approach because integrative approach because otherwise you keep your your your uh otherwise you keep your your your uh otherwise you keep your your your uh wheels spinning and you're just trying wheels spinning and you're just trying wheels spinning and you're just trying things, trying things, never getting things, trying things, never getting things, trying things, never getting ahead and then you move into that more ahead and then you move into that more ahead and then you move into that more pessimistic outlook or you think your pessimistic outlook or you think your pessimistic outlook or you think your body is failing you and it's not. It's body is failing you and it's not. It's body is failing you and it's not. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to do, doing exactly what it's supposed to do, doing exactly what it's supposed to do, what it needs to do for adaption and and what it needs to do for adaption and and what it needs to do for adaption and and safety. Uh until you safety. Uh until you safety. Uh until you remove the roadblocks. My advice is to act like a My advice is to act like a My advice is to act like a three-year-old because we have a three-year-old because we have a three-year-old because we have a three-year-old and constantly just three-year-old and constantly just three-year-old and constantly just respond with why until it makes perfect respond with why until it makes perfect respond with why until it makes perfect sense, until you have extreme clarity of sense, until you have extreme clarity of sense, until you have extreme clarity of all the different connections. how to all the different connections. how to all the different connections. how to bring those connections back into a bring those connections back into a bring those connections back into a state of harmony and balance so that state of harmony and balance so that state of harmony and balance so that there is that healthy communication there is that healthy communication there is that healthy communication until you don't have a need to say why. until you don't have a need to say why. until you don't have a need to say why. But giving yourself enough time to even But giving yourself enough time to even But giving yourself enough time to even process that because you know we live in process that because you know we live in process that because you know we live in a world where a phone is [  ] a world where a phone is [  ] a world where a phone is [  ] attached to our hip and you know it's attached to our hip and you know it's attached to our hip and you know it's it's very very easy to be constantly on it's very very easy to be constantly on it's very very easy to be constantly on distracted distracted distracted um you know communicating uh through um you know communicating uh through um you know communicating uh through these you know these smartphones. And a these you know these smartphones. And a these you know these smartphones. And a lot of people don't have much time to lot of people don't have much time to lot of people don't have much time to just or don't prioritize the time to just or don't prioritize the time to just or don't prioritize the time to just sit ask themselves questions and just sit ask themselves questions and just sit ask themselves questions and you know you know you know clear clear enough space to get true clear clear enough space to get true clear clear enough space to get true answers. Instead a lot of answers that answers. Instead a lot of answers that answers. Instead a lot of answers that we receive are from external sources. we receive are from external sources. we receive are from external sources. They're not from like our They're not from like our They're not from like our internal space. So it it's really so internal space. So it it's really so internal space. So it it's really so important for people to give themselves important for people to give themselves important for people to give themselves some time to actually think, make some time to actually think, make some time to actually think, make decisions out of inspiration and not decisions out of inspiration and not decisions out of inspiration and not desperation. If you don't prioritize desperation. If you don't prioritize desperation. If you don't prioritize that, you are going to live in a state that, you are going to live in a state that, you are going to live in a state of chaos pretty consistently. I've seen of chaos pretty consistently. I've seen of chaos pretty consistently. I've seen it a million times. I've been it. So, it a million times. I've been it. So, it a million times. I've been it.
