Welcome back to What's up everyone? Welcome back to What's up everyone? Welcome back to another episode of Integrative View another episode of Integrative View another episode of Integrative View Radio. We got Dr. Nick, Dr. Nicole here, Radio. We got Dr. Nick, Dr. Nicole here, Radio. We got Dr. Nick, Dr. Nicole here, and we're going to get blacklisted for and we're going to get blacklisted for and we're going to get blacklisted for the podcast. the podcast. the podcast. We might We might stir uh some feathers We might We might stir uh some feathers We might We might stir uh some feathers today. today. today. Stir some feathers. Stir some feathers. Stir some feathers. That's Yep. That's what we're working That's Yep. That's what we're working That's Yep. That's what we're working with. with. with. I'm just a good I'm just a good I'm just a good Not ruffle. Not ruffle. Not ruffle. Not ruffle. Not ruffle. Not ruffle. I'm just a good old boy, you know. I'm just a good old boy, you know. I'm just a good old boy, you know. Glass glass houses shink ships. Got it. Got it. All right. Well, let's Got it. Got it. All right. Well, let's Got it. Got it. All right. Well, let's get into it. Uh, so, interesting enough, get into it. Uh, so, interesting enough, get into it. Uh, so, interesting enough, I always love I always have my own ideas I always love I always have my own ideas I always love I always have my own ideas of what I want to take into a podcast, of what I want to take into a podcast, of what I want to take into a podcast, but I always want to make sure that but I always want to make sure that but I always want to make sure that we're connecting to people's biggest we're connecting to people's biggest we're connecting to people's biggest problems. And so I did the due diligence problems. And so I did the due diligence problems. And so I did the due diligence today of uh hey AI what's uh what's today of uh hey AI what's uh what's today of uh hey AI what's uh what's everybody googling about their health? everybody googling about their health? everybody googling about their health? You know what are people what are the You know what are people what are the You know what are people what are the most common symptoms conditions that most common symptoms conditions that most common symptoms conditions that people are asking Google asking AI about people are asking Google asking AI about people are asking Google asking AI about and go figure it is headache and go figure it is headache and go figure it is headache lightadedness dizziness uh leg pain leg lightadedness dizziness uh leg pain leg lightadedness dizziness uh leg pain leg in inflammation general swelling of in inflammation general swelling of in inflammation general swelling of different parts of the body and I was different parts of the body and I was different parts of the body and I was like oh isn't that perfect because this like oh isn't that perfect because this like oh isn't that perfect because this actually connects to the very topic that actually connects to the very topic that actually connects to the very topic that we're talking about today and it's the we're talking about today and it's the we're talking about today and it's the fact that so many people are walking fact that so many people are walking fact that so many people are walking around with [  ] blood clots. And around with [  ] blood clots. And around with [  ] blood clots. And we're going to get into why. For those we're going to get into why. For those we're going to get into why. For those of you uh tin hatters, you you probably of you uh tin hatters, you you probably of you uh tin hatters, you you probably already know the direction we're going already know the direction we're going already know the direction we're going to go, but we're going to go probably to go, but we're going to go probably to go, but we're going to go probably even beyond that. even beyond that. even beyond that. But what it comes down to is right now But what it comes down to is right now But what it comes down to is right now we live in Italy and we haven't been in we live in Italy and we haven't been in we live in Italy and we haven't been in the US for about two years. But we saw a the US for about two years. But we saw a the US for about two years. But we saw a variety of different conditions variety of different conditions variety of different conditions inconsistencies in the US and sadly inconsistencies in the US and sadly inconsistencies in the US and sadly there was a lot of people walking around there was a lot of people walking around there was a lot of people walking around with with with I don't want to say silent I don't want to say silent I don't want to say silent cardiovascular disease. cardiovascular disease. cardiovascular disease. They were being told, "Oh, you have They were being told, "Oh, you have They were being told, "Oh, you have mitro valve pro prolapse," or, "Oh, mitro valve pro prolapse," or, "Oh, mitro valve pro prolapse," or, "Oh, you're overweight." But in reality, what you're overweight." But in reality, what you're overweight." But in reality, what they had was a massive amount of water they had was a massive amount of water they had was a massive amount of water and edema in their body because their and edema in their body because their and edema in their body because their heart wasn't functioning optimally for a heart wasn't functioning optimally for a heart wasn't functioning optimally for a variety of root causes, which wasn't variety of root causes, which wasn't variety of root causes, which wasn't just you have mitro valve prolapse, just you have mitro valve prolapse, just you have mitro valve prolapse, because that's really just a description because that's really just a description because that's really just a description of what your heart is doing. It's of what your heart is doing. It's of what your heart is doing. It's actually not telling you any insight as actually not telling you any insight as actually not telling you any insight as to why that's happening. to why that's happening. to why that's happening. So we we've seen that in the US in the So we we've seen that in the US in the So we we've seen that in the US in the 15 years that we were practicing or are 15 years that we were practicing or are 15 years that we were practicing or are practicing. We've been in Italy for practicing. We've been in Italy for practicing. We've been in Italy for about two years now. And we have seen about two years now. And we have seen about two years now. And we have seen such an uptick of such an uptick of such an uptick of I would say men more than women I would say men more than women I would say men more than women having heart attacks 30 years old, 35 having heart attacks 30 years old, 35 having heart attacks 30 years old, 35 years old, 40 years old and and dying. years old, 40 years old and and dying. years old, 40 years old and and dying. Some dying from the heart attack and Some dying from the heart attack and Some dying from the heart attack and some dying because they had a heart some dying because they had a heart some dying because they had a heart attack while they're driving. They had a attack while they're driving. They had a attack while they're driving. They had a heart attack while they were on their heart attack while they were on their heart attack while they were on their their moto, their Vespa, their scooter, their moto, their Vespa, their scooter, their moto, their Vespa, their scooter, and then crashed and then became had and then crashed and then became had and then crashed and then became had severe brain damage from it. And we severe brain damage from it. And we severe brain damage from it. And we don't know a lot of people. And we have don't know a lot of people. And we have don't know a lot of people. And we have just heard from the people that we know just heard from the people that we know just heard from the people that we know about the friend and the friend of the about the friend and the friend of the about the friend and the friend of the friend and the cousin and the this and friend and the cousin and the this and friend and the cousin and the this and the that. And what would you say, Nick? the that. And what would you say, Nick? the that. And what would you say, Nick? I think collectively I've heard of at I think collectively I've heard of at I think collectively I've heard of at least 30 people. least 30 people. least 30 people. It's been a lot for sure. And it's just It's been a lot for sure. And it's just It's been a lot for sure. And it's just happening constantly. happening constantly. happening constantly. And so when we ask a little bit more And so when we ask a little bit more And so when we ask a little bit more about, you know, what happened or did about, you know, what happened or did about, you know, what happened or did they have a history or this and that, they have a history or this and that, they have a history or this and that, you know, the topic comes up and you know, the topic comes up and you know, the topic comes up and Italians are very blunt about it. Italians are very blunt about it. Italians are very blunt about it. They're just like, you know, we think They're just like, you know, we think They're just like, you know, we think that the that the that the I have a I'm definitely getting I have a I'm definitely getting I have a I'm definitely getting blacklist and this is going to go down blacklist and this is going to go down blacklist and this is going to go down if I say the word. But the, you know, if I say the word. But the, you know, if I say the word. But the, you know, the jab is what caused a lot of problems the jab is what caused a lot of problems the jab is what caused a lot of problems for these people and especially these for these people and especially these for these people and especially these younger men. And so regardless of that, younger men. And so regardless of that, younger men. And so regardless of that, the whole virus that happened in 2020, the whole virus that happened in 2020, the whole virus that happened in 2020, the spiked proteins alone can create a the spiked proteins alone can create a the spiked proteins alone can create a clumping of red blood cells. So that clumping of red blood cells. So that clumping of red blood cells. So that alone, having been exposed to the virus, alone, having been exposed to the virus, alone, having been exposed to the virus, especially if you had a severe case, and especially if you had a severe case, and especially if you had a severe case, and then on top of it, if you knew it or you then on top of it, if you knew it or you then on top of it, if you knew it or you didn't, maybe you had blood sugar didn't, maybe you had blood sugar didn't, maybe you had blood sugar issues. And if you listen to previous issues. And if you listen to previous issues. And if you listen to previous podcasts, we talked about how sticky podcasts, we talked about how sticky podcasts, we talked about how sticky glucose floating around in your blood glucose floating around in your blood glucose floating around in your blood causes more clumping. causes more clumping. causes more clumping. And then maybe you have different toxins And then maybe you have different toxins And then maybe you have different toxins that are in the liver which then are that are in the liver which then are that are in the liver which then are spilling into the venus system of your spilling into the venus system of your spilling into the venus system of your liver which then goes straight up to liver which then goes straight up to liver which then goes straight up to your heart to your right atrium and your heart to your right atrium and your heart to your right atrium and maybe that's causing clumping and clots. maybe that's causing clumping and clots. maybe that's causing clumping and clots. So there's a lot of people that already So there's a lot of people that already So there's a lot of people that already had underlying things going on if they had underlying things going on if they had underlying things going on if they knew it or they didn't. Most don't know knew it or they didn't. Most don't know knew it or they didn't. Most don't know because conventional testing is not because conventional testing is not because conventional testing is not revealing these issues. And then we had revealing these issues. And then we had revealing these issues. And then we had this epidemic or this pandemic where this epidemic or this pandemic where this epidemic or this pandemic where people got exposed to spiked proteins people got exposed to spiked proteins people got exposed to spiked proteins and then we also had additional spiked and then we also had additional spiked and then we also had additional spiked proteins and a variety of other things proteins and a variety of other things proteins and a variety of other things when people then went ahead and did when people then went ahead and did when people then went ahead and did their due diligence of getting the job. their due diligence of getting the job. their due diligence of getting the job. So, it's kind of a [  ] storm for a lot So, it's kind of a [  ] storm for a lot So, it's kind of a [  ] storm for a lot of people and people don't feel well and of people and people don't feel well and of people and people don't feel well and people are having symptoms that are people are having symptoms that are people are having symptoms that are being marked benign or being marked as being marked benign or being marked as being marked benign or being marked as we don't really know what's going on, we don't really know what's going on, we don't really know what's going on, but if you know if you start fainting, but if you know if you start fainting, but if you know if you start fainting, we'll investigate further. So, people we'll investigate further. So, people we'll investigate further. So, people are walking around and feeling are walking around and feeling are walking around and feeling lightheaded. They're feeling dizzy. And lightheaded. They're feeling dizzy. And lightheaded. They're feeling dizzy. And it's like, okay, well, if you don't have it's like, okay, well, if you don't have it's like, okay, well, if you don't have full-blown vertigo, then we're going to full-blown vertigo, then we're going to full-blown vertigo, then we're going to just leave it alone. If you don't have just leave it alone. If you don't have just leave it alone. If you don't have fullblown migraines every day that you fullblown migraines every day that you fullblown migraines every day that you can't get out of bed, we're going to can't get out of bed, we're going to can't get out of bed, we're going to leave it alone. If you're just laded leave it alone. If you're just laded leave it alone. If you're just laded sometimes, we're going to leave it sometimes, we're going to leave it sometimes, we're going to leave it alone. But essentially, these are all alone. But essentially, these are all alone. But essentially, these are all signs to investigate. signs to investigate. signs to investigate. Do you actually have [  ] clots in Do you actually have [  ] clots in Do you actually have [  ] clots in your blood or even something called your blood or even something called your blood or even something called antifphospholip lipid syndrome, which antifphospholip lipid syndrome, which antifphospholip lipid syndrome, which we'll talk about more in depth as we go we'll talk about more in depth as we go we'll talk about more in depth as we go on. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Keep going. Okay. Okay. I wasn't sure if I was like Okay. Okay. I wasn't sure if I was like Okay. Okay. I wasn't sure if I was like I always do the thing where I talk most I always do the thing where I talk most I always do the thing where I talk most of the time. So essentially we have had a variety of So essentially we have had a variety of So essentially we have had a variety of different people coming through our different people coming through our different people coming through our doors over the years. And I would say in doors over the years. And I would say in doors over the years. And I would say in the more recent years we've had people the more recent years we've had people the more recent years we've had people coming in with headaches, migraines. coming in with headaches, migraines. coming in with headaches, migraines. We've had people coming in with We've had people coming in with We've had people coming in with lightadedness. We've had people coming lightadedness. We've had people coming lightadedness. We've had people coming in saying, "I have vertigo." We have had in saying, "I have vertigo." We have had in saying, "I have vertigo." We have had people coming in saying,"I can't lose people coming in saying,"I can't lose people coming in saying,"I can't lose weight, but I have a lot of pain in my weight, but I have a lot of pain in my weight, but I have a lot of pain in my legs and my arms." And we've and we've legs and my arms." And we've and we've legs and my arms." And we've and we've actually one of the other cases is we actually one of the other cases is we actually one of the other cases is we had a a severe case of anemia. had a a severe case of anemia. had a a severe case of anemia. And these people as we dove deeper, we And these people as we dove deeper, we And these people as we dove deeper, we ran markers like the D-dimer and then we ran markers like the D-dimer and then we ran markers like the D-dimer and then we ran markers like uh cardioan antibodies. ran markers like uh cardioan antibodies. ran markers like uh cardioan antibodies. We've run even more expansive We've run even more expansive We've run even more expansive antifphospholipid syndrome panels. I'll antifphospholipid syndrome panels. I'll antifphospholipid syndrome panels. I'll explain that in a moment. These are all explain that in a moment. These are all explain that in a moment. These are all different ways of looking at is there different ways of looking at is there different ways of looking at is there clotting happening. And very often clotting happening. And very often clotting happening. And very often somebody might have an elevated dime somebody might have an elevated dime somebody might have an elevated dime dimer and the other panels are normal or dimer and the other panels are normal or dimer and the other panels are normal or it might be vice versa. So you if you it might be vice versa. So you if you it might be vice versa. So you if you really want to know do you have this really want to know do you have this really want to know do you have this going on going on going on you need to run a multitude of markers you need to run a multitude of markers you need to run a multitude of markers to look at all of the different aspects. to look at all of the different aspects. to look at all of the different aspects. You need to look at your throen. You You need to look at your throen. You You need to look at your throen. You need to look at your clotting time. You need to look at your clotting time. You need to look at your clotting time. You need to look at all of these things. And need to look at all of these things. And need to look at all of these things. And so, you know, you might be thinking so, you know, you might be thinking so, you know, you might be thinking like, "Oh, well, this sounds really like, "Oh, well, this sounds really like, "Oh, well, this sounds really advanced and don't I have to go to a advanced and don't I have to go to a advanced and don't I have to go to a special cardiologist?" Sadly, your special cardiologist?" Sadly, your special cardiologist?" Sadly, your cardiologist probably doesn't know half cardiologist probably doesn't know half cardiologist probably doesn't know half these markers that I'm talking about. these markers that I'm talking about. these markers that I'm talking about. So, and your cardiologist, the most So, and your cardiologist, the most So, and your cardiologist, the most standard thing they're going to do is standard thing they're going to do is standard thing they're going to do is they're going to run a stress test. And they're going to run a stress test. And they're going to run a stress test. And if you pass a stress test, you're good if you pass a stress test, you're good if you pass a stress test, you're good to go. But you still are walking out of to go. But you still are walking out of to go. But you still are walking out of there with a series of symptoms that you there with a series of symptoms that you there with a series of symptoms that you walked in with with no answers. walked in with with no answers. walked in with with no answers. The thing about anti-phosol lipid The thing about anti-phosol lipid The thing about anti-phosol lipid syndrome is I came across this kind of syndrome is I came across this kind of syndrome is I came across this kind of crazy by accident very early in my crazy by accident very early in my crazy by accident very early in my career. Uh I had a woman I actually she career. Uh I had a woman I actually she career. Uh I had a woman I actually she was an older woman. She was her her was an older woman. She was her her was an older woman. She was her her daughters brought her in because they daughters brought her in because they daughters brought her in because they were like we think she's getting were like we think she's getting were like we think she's getting dementia and we've always been more dementia and we've always been more dementia and we've always been more wellnessoriented and we want to get wellnessoriented and we want to get wellnessoriented and we want to get ahead of it. And uh I was running a ahead of it. And uh I was running a ahead of it. And uh I was running a series of panels on her and the lab series of panels on her and the lab series of panels on her and the lab messed up and they ran antifphospholipid messed up and they ran antifphospholipid messed up and they ran antifphospholipid syndrome which I actually wasn't very syndrome which I actually wasn't very syndrome which I actually wasn't very well educated on at that time and it well educated on at that time and it well educated on at that time and it came back with multiple markers that came back with multiple markers that came back with multiple markers that were out of range and essentially what were out of range and essentially what were out of range and essentially what that meant is that she had an autoimmune that meant is that she had an autoimmune that meant is that she had an autoimmune condition that was causing S XS blood condition that was causing S XS blood condition that was causing S XS blood clots and some of the clotting based on clots and some of the clotting based on clots and some of the clotting based on our DNA testing was actually happening our DNA testing was actually happening our DNA testing was actually happening in the upper parts of her body. It was in the upper parts of her body. It was in the upper parts of her body. It was happening in the corateed arteries happening in the corateed arteries happening in the corateed arteries um and it was also happening in the um and it was also happening in the um and it was also happening in the jugular veins and this was causing jugular veins and this was causing jugular veins and this was causing massive issues with blood going up to massive issues with blood going up to massive issues with blood going up to the brain and also blood draining out of the brain and also blood draining out of the brain and also blood draining out of the brain. So she was having massive um the brain. So she was having massive um the brain. So she was having massive um oxygenation issues to her brain which oxygenation issues to her brain which oxygenation issues to her brain which was then leading her to having the was then leading her to having the was then leading her to having the subtleties like the start of memory loss subtleties like the start of memory loss subtleties like the start of memory loss which the daughters were very uh great which the daughters were very uh great which the daughters were very uh great that they were like we're noticing this that they were like we're noticing this that they were like we're noticing this and we want to make sure that we don't and we want to make sure that we don't and we want to make sure that we don't leave it and and think oh it's no big leave it and and think oh it's no big leave it and and think oh it's no big deal mom's old and then all of a sudden deal mom's old and then all of a sudden deal mom's old and then all of a sudden she has full-blown dementia. But it she has full-blown dementia. But it she has full-blown dementia. But it wasn't a brain problem per se. It was a wasn't a brain problem per se. It was a wasn't a brain problem per se. It was a cardiovascular problem. cardiovascular problem. cardiovascular problem. And this now that I I've learned about And this now that I I've learned about And this now that I I've learned about this, this was probably 10 years ago. this, this was probably 10 years ago. this, this was probably 10 years ago. This is something that I run often, This is something that I run often, This is something that I run often, especially in the past six years. And especially in the past six years. And especially in the past six years. And there are tons of people that are there are tons of people that are there are tons of people that are walking around with an autoimmune blood walking around with an autoimmune blood walking around with an autoimmune blood clotting disorder that have no [  ] clotting disorder that have no [  ] clotting disorder that have no [  ] idea. idea. idea. And don't get me wrong, you know, that And don't get me wrong, you know, that And don't get me wrong, you know, that was that specific client. Some people was that specific client. Some people was that specific client. Some people are cardiovascular problems that create are cardiovascular problems that create are cardiovascular problems that create and cause the brain problem or the and cause the brain problem or the and cause the brain problem or the central nervous system problem and then central nervous system problem and then central nervous system problem and then in that case, you know, vice versa. So, in that case, you know, vice versa. So, in that case, you know, vice versa. So, we're not saying something's an all or we're not saying something's an all or we're not saying something's an all or nothing. But you know if you step back nothing. But you know if you step back nothing. But you know if you step back and and and view with uh common sense which isn't so view with uh common sense which isn't so view with uh common sense which isn't so common today common today common today that there is a huge that there is a huge that there is a huge um um um post effect from the jab jab post effect from the jab jab post effect from the jab jab and I'm not here to say be a victim um and I'm not here to say be a victim um and I'm not here to say be a victim um because that's the opposite of the because that's the opposite of the because that's the opposite of the takeaway. You know, if if you're taking takeaway. You know, if if you're taking takeaway. You know, if if you're taking notes right now, write this down. I am notes right now, write this down. I am notes right now, write this down. I am not a victim. Doesn't matter what your not a victim. Doesn't matter what your not a victim. Doesn't matter what your choice was because we all make every choice was because we all make every choice was because we all make every single person always makes a choice, a single person always makes a choice, a single person always makes a choice, a decision in that moment based on decision in that moment based on decision in that moment based on perceiving more benefits than drawbacks. perceiving more benefits than drawbacks. perceiving more benefits than drawbacks. Every single person. So whether you got Every single person. So whether you got Every single person. So whether you got the jab or you didn't, you did that. You the jab or you didn't, you did that. You the jab or you didn't, you did that. You made that decision based on that moment. made that decision based on that moment. made that decision based on that moment. it's serving you, your family, etc. it's serving you, your family, etc. it's serving you, your family, etc. based on perceiving more benefits than based on perceiving more benefits than based on perceiving more benefits than drawbacks. After that moment, you know, drawbacks. After that moment, you know, drawbacks. After that moment, you know, we can gather more data. We can have we can gather more data. We can have we can gather more data. We can have more symptoms, which is more data. more symptoms, which is more data. more symptoms, which is more data. Things can change. The world around us Things can change. The world around us Things can change. The world around us can change. Information coming out can can change. Information coming out can can change. Information coming out can change. I mean, it was changing. We're change. I mean, it was changing. We're change. I mean, it was changing. We're going to get deeper into that anyways. going to get deeper into that anyways. going to get deeper into that anyways. And then with that more data, you can And then with that more data, you can And then with that more data, you can make a different decision based on make a different decision based on make a different decision based on benefits and drawbacks. So when benefits and drawbacks. So when benefits and drawbacks. So when evaluating everything moving forward, evaluating everything moving forward, evaluating everything moving forward, it's always aware to be aware of what's it's always aware to be aware of what's it's always aware to be aware of what's most important to you, your top values, most important to you, your top values, most important to you, your top values, what we call it, you know, the things what we call it, you know, the things what we call it, you know, the things that actually are fulfilling in life and that actually are fulfilling in life and that actually are fulfilling in life and not depleting. When you make decisions not depleting. When you make decisions not depleting. When you make decisions that are congruent with that, congruent that are congruent with that, congruent that are congruent with that, congruent with your values, what's most important with your values, what's most important with your values, what's most important to you, what's going to give you the to you, what's going to give you the to you, what's going to give you the most amount of energy, health, vitality, most amount of energy, health, vitality, most amount of energy, health, vitality, that is what's going to be in alignment that is what's going to be in alignment that is what's going to be in alignment for you to be healthy and adaptable. for you to be healthy and adaptable. for you to be healthy and adaptable. When you go against that, when you make When you go against that, when you make When you go against that, when you make a decision against that, that's what a decision against that, that's what a decision against that, that's what starts to break the immune system down. starts to break the immune system down. starts to break the immune system down. That's what starts to break the nervous That's what starts to break the nervous That's what starts to break the nervous system down. That's what creates system down. That's what creates system down. That's what creates distress and breaks down the epithelial distress and breaks down the epithelial distress and breaks down the epithelial tissues and the coagulation of the tissues and the coagulation of the tissues and the coagulation of the blood, increasing the platelets and is blood, increasing the platelets and is blood, increasing the platelets and is connected to blood clots. So in the connected to blood clots. So in the connected to blood clots. So in the psychossematic aspect of how I look at psychossematic aspect of how I look at psychossematic aspect of how I look at it, it's not so much as did the vaccine it, it's not so much as did the vaccine it, it's not so much as did the vaccine create this or not, but was it the create this or not, but was it the create this or not, but was it the individual in alignment or not with individual in alignment or not with individual in alignment or not with their decision whether they got it or their decision whether they got it or their decision whether they got it or didn't get it? And I think that's a big didn't get it? And I think that's a big didn't get it? And I think that's a big part that people aren't actually talking part that people aren't actually talking part that people aren't actually talking about. They're either blaming something about. They're either blaming something about. They're either blaming something all or nothing. I'm like, that's not how all or nothing. I'm like, that's not how all or nothing. I'm like, that's not how [  ] life works. Life doesn't work [  ] life works. Life doesn't work [  ] life works. Life doesn't work all or nothing. It it works actually all or nothing. It it works actually all or nothing. It it works actually you're you're a battery. you're you're a battery. you're you're a battery. And are you filling up that battery or And are you filling up that battery or And are you filling up that battery or are you depleting it? Because if you are you depleting it? Because if you are you depleting it? Because if you deplete it enough, everything breaks deplete it enough, everything breaks deplete it enough, everything breaks down. down. down. And when you look at blood clots and the And when you look at blood clots and the And when you look at blood clots and the psychosmatic, you know, it gets deeper. psychosmatic, you know, it gets deeper. psychosmatic, you know, it gets deeper. But blood is your self-love and how well But blood is your self-love and how well But blood is your self-love and how well are you to move that self-love, self- are you to move that self-love, self- are you to move that self-love, self- serving. Hence, yeah, are you in serving. Hence, yeah, are you in serving. Hence, yeah, are you in alignment with making decisions that alignment with making decisions that alignment with making decisions that serve yourself serve yourself serve yourself or did you feel forced something? Did or did you feel forced something? Did or did you feel forced something? Did you feel forced in or shamed or guilted you feel forced in or shamed or guilted you feel forced in or shamed or guilted into doing something that you didn't into doing something that you didn't into doing something that you didn't want to do? If that was more of the want to do? If that was more of the want to do? If that was more of the case, that's going to create that case, that's going to create that case, that's going to create that breakdown because there's the self- breakdown because there's the self- breakdown because there's the self- judgment. Then you're carrying on guilt judgment. Then you're carrying on guilt judgment. Then you're carrying on guilt and shame that you did something that and shame that you did something that and shame that you did something that you actually didn't want to do. And you actually didn't want to do. And you actually didn't want to do. And that's one of the biggest drivers that that's one of the biggest drivers that that's one of the biggest drivers that that compounded mental distress on the that compounded mental distress on the that compounded mental distress on the physical body doesn't actually allow physical body doesn't actually allow physical body doesn't actually allow maybe something that wasn't the best maybe something that wasn't the best maybe something that wasn't the best thing to put inside your body, but thing to put inside your body, but thing to put inside your body, but doesn't allow your body to actually be doesn't allow your body to actually be doesn't allow your body to actually be able to adapt to it and defend yourself able to adapt to it and defend yourself able to adapt to it and defend yourself against it. against it. against it. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I think that's a good point. I was just going to say I I think that I was just going to say I I think that I was just going to say I I think that this is something that we saw and now if this is something that we saw and now if this is something that we saw and now if we put it on people's radar they might we put it on people's radar they might we put it on people's radar they might also see the same is there were people also see the same is there were people also see the same is there were people that you know actively said like this is that you know actively said like this is that you know actively said like this is this is for me like I want to get this this is for me like I want to get this this is for me like I want to get this and I want to protect myself and protect and I want to protect myself and protect and I want to protect myself and protect my family protect my neighbors and and my family protect my neighbors and and my family protect my neighbors and and all these things and had less issues and all these things and had less issues and all these things and had less issues and then the people that said no I don't then the people that said no I don't then the people that said no I don't want it and then after a year or however want it and then after a year or however want it and then after a year or however long They said, "You're not going to long They said, "You're not going to long They said, "You're not going to have a job or you're not going to fly. have a job or you're not going to fly. have a job or you're not going to fly. You're never going to travel again." And You're never going to travel again." And You're never going to travel again." And people were like, "I have to do this." people were like, "I have to do this." people were like, "I have to do this." And we found in our practice that there And we found in our practice that there And we found in our practice that there the people in that situation actually the people in that situation actually the people in that situation actually were more symptomatic post. And I think were more symptomatic post. And I think were more symptomatic post. And I think it's because of the very thing that it's because of the very thing that it's because of the very thing that you're describing. you're describing. you're describing. I mean, to keep it really simple, I mean, to keep it really simple, I mean, to keep it really simple, blood clots is connected to the flow of blood clots is connected to the flow of blood clots is connected to the flow of life. life. life.

And then there's the component of you And then there's the component of you And then there's the component of you know what I call mental warfare during know what I call mental warfare during know what I call mental warfare during that time and ongoing is that the the that time and ongoing is that the the that time and ongoing is that the the amount of con conflicting amount of con conflicting amount of con conflicting evidence conflicting information out evidence conflicting information out evidence conflicting information out there and you know if you look at there and you know if you look at there and you know if you look at everything is everything is everything is I mean a lot of even the the data on the I mean a lot of even the the data on the I mean a lot of even the the data on the jab jab jab was was was was incorrect you know after the fact was incorrect you know after the fact was incorrect you know after the fact they're like oh you know we they're like oh you know we they're like oh you know we miscalculated things. Oops. I'm like, miscalculated things. Oops. I'm like, miscalculated things. Oops.

But, you know, Nick and I further about. But, you know, Nick and I further about. But, you know, Nick and I as entrepreneurs, as parents, and, you as entrepreneurs, as parents, and, you as entrepreneurs, as parents, and, you know, people just navigating life like know, people just navigating life like know, people just navigating life like there's so many times that we've been there's so many times that we've been there's so many times that we've been dropped to our knees and felt like, you dropped to our knees and felt like, you dropped to our knees and felt like, you know, the world is crumbling. And, you know, the world is crumbling. And, you know, the world is crumbling. And, you know, we've we've seen we've experienced know, we've we've seen we've experienced know, we've we've seen we've experienced big big challenges. And I know that many big big challenges. And I know that many big big challenges. And I know that many people in the world have experienced big people in the world have experienced big people in the world have experienced big big challenges. But with every big challenges. But with every big challenges. But with every challenge, there's opportunity. And I challenge, there's opportunity. And I challenge, there's opportunity. And I don't say this because I'm like, wow don't say this because I'm like, wow don't say this because I'm like, wow guys, like this is your positive guys, like this is your positive guys, like this is your positive affirmations. It's just challenge is affirmations. It's just challenge is affirmations. It's just challenge is there to help us grow and learn. And there to help us grow and learn. And there to help us grow and learn. And some of us tough mfers, some of us tough mfers, some of us tough mfers, stubborn people sometimes get hit harder stubborn people sometimes get hit harder stubborn people sometimes get hit harder with bigger challenges with worse health with bigger challenges with worse health with bigger challenges with worse health outcomes in order for us to learn what outcomes in order for us to learn what outcomes in order for us to learn what we need to learn and grow. And so if you we need to learn and grow. And so if you we need to learn and grow. And so if you are the person that you're like sitting are the person that you're like sitting are the person that you're like sitting here, you're like, I had I got it and here, you're like, I had I got it and here, you're like, I had I got it and and yes, I have these symptoms and oh, and yes, I have these symptoms and oh, and yes, I have these symptoms and oh, you know, and you move into that guilt you know, and you move into that guilt you know, and you move into that guilt and shame and this and that and blame and shame and this and that and blame and shame and this and that and blame game. That's that's not the point of game. That's that's not the point of game. That's that's not the point of this podcast. The point of this podcast this podcast. The point of this podcast this podcast. The point of this podcast is for you to be like, okay, I have this is for you to be like, okay, I have this is for you to be like, okay, I have this information about some of these symptoms information about some of these symptoms information about some of these symptoms that I am experiencing or a series of that I am experiencing or a series of that I am experiencing or a series of symptoms that I'm experiencing and now I symptoms that I'm experiencing and now I symptoms that I'm experiencing and now I actually know how to turn this challenge actually know how to turn this challenge actually know how to turn this challenge into an opportunity to get better into an opportunity to get better into an opportunity to get better testing, learn more about my body, and testing, learn more about my body, and testing, learn more about my body, and then have a plan moving forward. then have a plan moving forward. then have a plan moving forward. So, you need to keep that in mind So, you need to keep that in mind So, you need to keep that in mind because, because, because, you know, not for it to sound brutal, you know, not for it to sound brutal, you know, not for it to sound brutal, but like nobody like the the world is but like nobody like the the world is but like nobody like the the world is not taking accountability.

All right, let's get back into it. let's get back into it. let's get back into it. And I think the I mean my brain works a And I think the I mean my brain works a And I think the I mean my brain works a little different than most people, little different than most people, little different than most people, but it's always but it's always but it's always but it's always grounding back into but it's always grounding back into but it's always grounding back into physics for me. You know, it's just like physics for me. You know, it's just like physics for me. You know, it's just like I get emotional. Um I'm reactive. I have I get emotional. Um I'm reactive. I have I get emotional. Um I'm reactive. I have a symptom and you know, pain or whatever a symptom and you know, pain or whatever a symptom and you know, pain or whatever is winning and I'm losing. And it just is winning and I'm losing. And it just is winning and I'm losing. And it just getting reggrounded. And energy is getting reggrounded. And energy is getting reggrounded. And energy is always in a state of balance. For every always in a state of balance. For every always in a state of balance. For every action, there's an equal and opposite action, there's an equal and opposite action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. So, as you were talking about, reaction. So, as you were talking about, reaction. So, as you were talking about, if there's this massive challenge, well, if there's this massive challenge, well, if there's this massive challenge, well, there's an equal and opposite amount of there's an equal and opposite amount of there's an equal and opposite amount of massive support. But if we can only massive support. But if we can only massive support. But if we can only perceive the challenge, perceive the challenge, perceive the challenge, then it's going to get the best of us. then it's going to get the best of us. then it's going to get the best of us. And if that challenge is too big, we're And if that challenge is too big, we're And if that challenge is too big, we're going to break. So the only way quote going to break. So the only way quote going to break. So the only way quote unquote out of it or moving forward, unquote out of it or moving forward, unquote out of it or moving forward, hence leg pain, leg inflammation is just hence leg pain, leg inflammation is just hence leg pain, leg inflammation is just the psychossematic issue of not being the psychossematic issue of not being the psychossematic issue of not being able to move forward means we have to go able to move forward means we have to go able to move forward means we have to go and increase our awareness. What where and increase our awareness. What where and increase our awareness. What where is the support? is the support? is the support? Where is it around us? Where is those Where is it around us? Where is those Where is it around us? Where is those opportunities that you were talking opportunities that you were talking opportunities that you were talking about? You know, on the health side, it about? You know, on the health side, it about? You know, on the health side, it was there's an opportunity for me to was there's an opportunity for me to was there's an opportunity for me to actually dig deeper because now I have actually dig deeper because now I have actually dig deeper because now I have all these new symptoms that I wasn't all these new symptoms that I wasn't all these new symptoms that I wasn't aware about. Mhm. aware about. Mhm. aware about. Mhm. Not they were there. They just weren't Not they were there. They just weren't Not they were there. They just weren't strong enough for you to be aware of strong enough for you to be aware of strong enough for you to be aware of them before. them before. them before. So now they're to the surface and yeah So now they're to the surface and yeah So now they're to the surface and yeah it sucks but it's also like well great it sucks but it's also like well great it sucks but it's also like well great because now I can actually serve myself because now I can actually serve myself because now I can actually serve myself more hence I can love myself more hence more hence I can love myself more hence more hence I can love myself more hence no more blood clots. You might have had no more blood clots. You might have had no more blood clots. You might have had this is just beyond this conversation. this is just beyond this conversation. this is just beyond this conversation. You know, unfortunately, You know, unfortunately, You know, unfortunately, most people in our career came to us most people in our career came to us most people in our career came to us because of a loss of health, because of because of a loss of health, because of because of a loss of health, because of a problem that they needed solved a problem that they needed solved a problem that they needed solved because and and most of them because we, because and and most of them because we, because and and most of them because we, you know, our practice was in New you know, our practice was in New you know, our practice was in New Jersey, we worked with a lot of New Jersey, we worked with a lot of New Jersey, we worked with a lot of New Yorkers, people from Philly, and it's Yorkers, people from Philly, and it's Yorkers, people from Philly, and it's like tough personalities, and they're like tough personalities, and they're like tough personalities, and they're just like life is hard and whatever. You just like life is hard and whatever. You just like life is hard and whatever. You just power through and, you know, you just power through and, you know, you just power through and, you know, you don't complain. don't complain. don't complain. And so by the time they got to us, you And so by the time they got to us, you And so by the time they got to us, you know, they were in pretty bad shape and know, they were in pretty bad shape and know, they were in pretty bad shape and they were a bit desperate because they were a bit desperate because they were a bit desperate because they're just like, I I I don't even know they're just like, I I I don't even know they're just like, I I I don't even know how to live anymore. I can't function. how to live anymore. I can't function. how to live anymore. I can't function. And really what a lot of people have And really what a lot of people have And really what a lot of people have always said to us, they're like, you always said to us, they're like, you always said to us, they're like, you know, I came here to have less symptoms, know, I came here to have less symptoms, know, I came here to have less symptoms, but what really happened is you changed but what really happened is you changed but what really happened is you changed my perspective on on so many things, and my perspective on on so many things, and my perspective on on so many things, and now I feel like I'm more empowered. I now I feel like I'm more empowered. I now I feel like I'm more empowered. I have a better I have better have a better I have better have a better I have better relationships around me. I quit my job relationships around me. I quit my job relationships around me. I quit my job to go for the the career that I really to go for the the career that I really to go for the the career that I really wanted or I went for the the company I wanted or I went for the the company I wanted or I went for the the company I always wanted to open. I have a better always wanted to open. I have a better always wanted to open. I have a better relationship with my kids. A big one was relationship with my kids. A big one was relationship with my kids. A big one was a lot of moms, dads are like I now going a lot of moms, dads are like I now going a lot of moms, dads are like I now going through this experience, I look at how I through this experience, I look at how I through this experience, I look at how I am helping my kids with their health so am helping my kids with their health so am helping my kids with their health so much differently. Like they now know, much differently. Like they now know, much differently. Like they now know, oh, my kid has a sore throat. I'm gonna oh, my kid has a sore throat. I'm gonna oh, my kid has a sore throat. I'm gonna use the red light on them opposed to use the red light on them opposed to use the red light on them opposed to running for the antibiotic. Like it running for the antibiotic. Like it running for the antibiotic. Like it transformed so much about the way they transformed so much about the way they transformed so much about the way they navigate life. It empowered them to have navigate life. It empowered them to have navigate life. It empowered them to have more common sense to understand more more common sense to understand more more common sense to understand more about, you know, what symptoms are about, you know, what symptoms are about, you know, what symptoms are alarming and what symptoms are are alarming and what symptoms are are alarming and what symptoms are are something they can even manage on their something they can even manage on their something they can even manage on their own or with very little um help or or own or with very little um help or or own or with very little um help or or without needing to go the without needing to go the without needing to go the pharmacological route. So that's really pharmacological route. So that's really pharmacological route. So that's really what it comes down to is when your what it comes down to is when your what it comes down to is when your health declines, it's an opportunity. health declines, it's an opportunity. health declines, it's an opportunity. It's an opportunity for you to figure It's an opportunity for you to figure It's an opportunity for you to figure out, you know, where the [  ] are things out, you know, where the [  ] are things out, you know, where the [  ] are things so imbalanced? Because there's a lot of so imbalanced? Because there's a lot of so imbalanced? Because there's a lot of people walking around that just don't people walking around that just don't people walking around that just don't like their life. There's a lot of people like their life. There's a lot of people like their life. There's a lot of people that are that don't like the that are that don't like the that are that don't like the relationships that are around them. They relationships that are around them. They relationships that are around them. They don't like their life. They don't like don't like their life. They don't like don't like their life. They don't like their job. They don't like a lot of their job. They don't like a lot of their job. They don't like a lot of things and they feel stuck in that. And things and they feel stuck in that. And things and they feel stuck in that. And guess what? If that's your life guess what? If that's your life guess what? If that's your life compounded over years and years and compounded over years and years and compounded over years and years and years, you might have blood clots years, you might have blood clots years, you might have blood clots because you feel so [  ] stuck because you feel so [  ] stuck because you feel so [  ] stuck because that is the psychosmatic because that is the psychosmatic because that is the psychosmatic connection. Or you might just have a connection. Or you might just have a connection. Or you might just have a different set of symptoms because you're different set of symptoms because you're different set of symptoms because you're so [  ] stressed out and your organs so [  ] stressed out and your organs so [  ] stressed out and your organs are like, "Dude, I can't function are like, "Dude, I can't function are like, "Dude, I can't function because you have been in fight or flight because you have been in fight or flight because you have been in fight or flight for like 20 years. So, can you do for like 20 years. So, can you do for like 20 years. So, can you do something different?" something different?" something different?" So these symptoms are not uncommon. So these symptoms are not uncommon. So these symptoms are not uncommon. People having headaches, people being People having headaches, people being People having headaches, people being lightheaded, people having dizziness. If lightheaded, people having dizziness. If lightheaded, people having dizziness. If you have those symptoms, yes, it could you have those symptoms, yes, it could you have those symptoms, yes, it could be other things outside of what we're be other things outside of what we're be other things outside of what we're talking about.

But I but I knew who I was and you know But I but I knew who I was and you know But I but I knew who I was and you know um I made a joke about it and we started um I made a joke about it and we started um I made a joke about it and we started talking about it and it's like this talking about it and it's like this talking about it and it's like this looks like skin issues but this is grief looks like skin issues but this is grief looks like skin issues but this is grief healing and it started an amazing healing and it started an amazing healing and it started an amazing conversation and um yeah conversation and um yeah conversation and um yeah they might walk away and say hey that they might walk away and say hey that they might walk away and say hey that [  ] dude's crazy but who knows [  ] dude's crazy but who knows [  ] dude's crazy but who knows you never know. All right we're at 30 you never know. All right we're at 30 you never know. All right we're at 30 minutes though. I want to give you guys minutes though. I want to give you guys minutes though. I want to give you guys a couple of specific markers. Um listen a couple of specific markers. Um listen a couple of specific markers. Um listen I I'm going to be transparent with you. I I'm going to be transparent with you. I I'm going to be transparent with you. the markers I'm about to tell you about the markers I'm about to tell you about the markers I'm about to tell you about the probability of your primary care or the probability of your primary care or the probability of your primary care or even an a cardiologist running these is even an a cardiologist running these is even an a cardiologist running these is pretty low. Um, and I know it because pretty low. Um, and I know it because pretty low. Um, and I know it because I've had plenty of people say, "Thank I've had plenty of people say, "Thank I've had plenty of people say, "Thank you so much for giving me those markers you so much for giving me those markers you so much for giving me those markers on your last podcast or your latest on your last podcast or your latest on your last podcast or your latest blog." Um, but isn't it crazy that my blog." Um, but isn't it crazy that my blog." Um, but isn't it crazy that my doctor wouldn't run it? This is like doctor wouldn't run it? This is like doctor wouldn't run it? This is like people that reach out to us through people that reach out to us through people that reach out to us through email or uh social media. And we've email or uh social media. And we've email or uh social media. And we've heard this also even from people that heard this also even from people that heard this also even from people that said, "I really want to work with you, said, "I really want to work with you, said, "I really want to work with you, but now's not the right time. You know, but now's not the right time. You know, but now's not the right time. You know, maybe I can do X, Y, and Z with my maybe I can do X, Y, and Z with my maybe I can do X, Y, and Z with my primary." And the same thing, their primary." And the same thing, their primary." And the same thing, their primary is like, "No, I'm not going to primary is like, "No, I'm not going to primary is like, "No, I'm not going to run that. I don't even know what those run that. I don't even know what those run that. I don't even know what those markers are." So, anywh who, these are markers are." So, anywh who, these are markers are." So, anywh who, these are all markers you could definitely find all markers you could definitely find all markers you could definitely find through LabC and Quest for anyone based through LabC and Quest for anyone based through LabC and Quest for anyone based in the US. I'm not 100% positive these in the US. I'm not 100% positive these in the US. I'm not 100% positive these are accessible in Europe, but are accessible in Europe, but are accessible in Europe, but anti-cardiolipan anti-cardiolipan anti-cardiolipan antibodies antibodies antibodies is one marker. That marker though is is one marker. That marker though is is one marker. That marker though is inside of an anti-phospholipid syndrome inside of an anti-phospholipid syndrome inside of an anti-phospholipid syndrome panel which is going to be a very robust panel which is going to be a very robust panel which is going to be a very robust panel looking at all different aspects panel looking at all different aspects panel looking at all different aspects of clotting with your red blood cells of clotting with your red blood cells of clotting with your red blood cells and your platelets. There is also uh and your platelets. There is also uh and your platelets. There is also uh platelet antibbody panel. There is platelet antibbody panel. There is platelet antibbody panel. There is thromben mixing study which is also thromben mixing study which is also thromben mixing study which is also showcasing if there is issues with your showcasing if there is issues with your showcasing if there is issues with your blood clotting and then there's also blood clotting and then there's also blood clotting and then there's also pro- thromben time PT which is looking pro- thromben time PT which is looking pro- thromben time PT which is looking at how long it takes to clot. So those at how long it takes to clot. So those at how long it takes to clot. So those are some of the top markers. The easiest are some of the top markers. The easiest are some of the top markers. The easiest one that you can probably access through one that you can probably access through one that you can probably access through a practitioner is going to be the a practitioner is going to be the a practitioner is going to be the d-dimer. Um they're going to probably d-dimer. Um they're going to probably d-dimer. Um they're going to probably say why do you want to run that? And so say why do you want to run that? And so say why do you want to run that? And so obviously you can showcase some of the obviously you can showcase some of the obviously you can showcase some of the symptoms that we were talking about symptoms that we were talking about symptoms that we were talking about today. But also guys for you those of today. But also guys for you those of today. But also guys for you those of you that are like, "Oh gosh, like I you that are like, "Oh gosh, like I you that are like, "Oh gosh, like I don't know, you know, like what if I don't know, you know, like what if I don't know, you know, like what if I can't get this testing done?" One of the can't get this testing done?" One of the can't get this testing done?" One of the foods that is absolutely fantastic that foods that is absolutely fantastic that foods that is absolutely fantastic that acts like a blood thinner is garlic. Raw acts like a blood thinner is garlic. Raw acts like a blood thinner is garlic. Raw garlic is best. Um, but consuming garlic is best. Um, but consuming garlic is best. Um, but consuming loads of raw garlic can be very loads of raw garlic can be very loads of raw garlic can be very beneficial as a blood thinner. If you're beneficial as a blood thinner. If you're beneficial as a blood thinner. If you're on blood pressure medication, you have on blood pressure medication, you have on blood pressure medication, you have to be careful because or if you're on a to be careful because or if you're on a to be careful because or if you're on a blood thinner, then you know it would be blood thinner, then you know it would be blood thinner, then you know it would be problematic because that's how strong problematic because that's how strong problematic because that's how strong and potent it is as a blood thinner. I think you guys lost me for a minute, I think you guys lost me for a minute, I think you guys lost me for a minute, but I'm just wrapping up with one of the but I'm just wrapping up with one of the but I'm just wrapping up with one of the best options is garlic. Garlic is a best options is garlic. Garlic is a best options is garlic. Garlic is a natural blood thinner, best in its raw natural blood thinner, best in its raw natural blood thinner, best in its raw form. Again, if you are on blood form. Again, if you are on blood form. Again, if you are on blood thinners or even blood pressure thinners or even blood pressure thinners or even blood pressure medication, you have to be cautious. medication, you have to be cautious. medication, you have to be cautious.
