I've been up all night. No sleep. Imagine if medicine actually looked at you as a whole as opposed to looking at you as a bunch of separate systems. Dive into Integrative Wellness Radio with Dr. Nick and Dr. Nicole to learn more about the top trends in integrative medicine, to learn about what the limitations are with testing, and what you can do to start your health journey. Sometimes I tend to lose myself when I'm out here on me. Hey everyone, so welcome back to another episode of Integrative Wellness Radio. So, we have a new co-host today. Shout out. It's me. It's me. I'm Grace and I'm the functional medicine nutritionist here at Integrative Wellness Group. Yeah. So we work side-by-side. We've been working side-by-side for how long now? Almost three years. Oh my God, where did the time go? Um, so I'm pretty excited because she shares my passion, as Dr. Nick says, for biochemistry. And we love, we actually look at blood work on the weekends because we're such dorks. We do. We text about it. But um, but you know, we've been, we've been talking a lot about the healing journey. And for those of you that are brand new to this world and you know, maybe haven't embarked on your healing journey, it's probably because there's some fear or apprehension around it or fear of the unknown. And for those of you that have embarked on it, you know that there were roadblocks and there were obstacles and there were things that potentially caused you to plateau or even give up. And with that being said, is the major topic that we want to get into today is that just as much as you need to figure out the root cause and be able to balance your physiology and your biochemistry, it's equally as important to understand that this is an evolution in your thinking, in your mindset, in your growth and development as a person. Hmm. Yeah. And I think we've seen that, of course, over the years and it's evolved. So, in the beginning, it seemed from a 10,000 foot view for to be for for someone who is hitting rock bottom, right? That was kind of our patient zero. And now, with the way IWG has evolved and the way that we've been working to evolve how healthcare is being done, we are able to treat patients who just want to feel even better, and people who have hit rock bottom, or people who think they're not at rock bottom and we know that they are, and, and they can be in Australia, or Paris, or Canada, or right here in Jersey. And the thing is, though, is that I think a lot of times what we're seeing more and more of is that people are enamored with what we do and how much testing can we make available to them. And how invested we are in their health, and you can become very falsely enamored by that and get caught up without putting in the work. Yeah. Well, I think that most of us are coming from a model of, don't fix it until it's broke. Right. And the idea that we have symptoms, and a lot of these symptoms are mild. They come and go. They become our normal. And it does get to a point that we're uncomfortable enough that we want to do something about it. But, in addition to that, is most individuals have sought out testing from say a routine physical or popping in with their primary care. And you're getting the basic of the basic blood work. And you're not getting anything more elaborate than that, with the exception of maybe a urinalysis. Right. You're not getting more elaborate testing. You're definitely not getting some of the testing that we do, from DNA testing, to bioenergetic testing, to neurological testing. So, when we're looking at all of the different avenues, we are presenting you with really, what is going on. What are some of those foundational problems in your body that are causing maybe some of the subtle symptoms, but are causing the things that maybe have become your normal? Right. And this is definitely something that a lot of people want to know and then some people are like, oh my gosh, like I had no idea. But, you're thinking about it all wrong when you're thinking about it as a negative. Because, I hear, we hear it all the time, I don't want to know. I don't want to come and get that type of testing because I don't want to know what's wrong with me. But at the end of the day, is, most of us, unfortunately, are operating out of a a pla, a place of being disempowered. Right. And we're being disempowered by our government. We're disempowered by other people telling us what to do, injecting their values on through our life. You know, we're constantly playing this comparison game who we should be. Compared to despair. Yeah. Could be, could coulda, woulda, shoulda. And what we're not realizing is that statement of, I don't want to know, is, is just as much of disempowerment as everything else. Right, right. And even not wanting to know to an extent. Like oh, I've been I've been having these headaches, so I want to know what's going on with my neurological system or what am I having this flutter in my chest. So I only need to know what's going on with my cardiovascular system. Or even, oh, I have such terrible acne on my back, so I need to test my house. Like things like that are also ways that I think limiting beliefs are being pushed upon people into But since we were literally like born. Yeah. Seriously. Because if if if okay, you fit into this box, you fit into this box, and you fit into this box, and there's no way to connect them or to allow for them to be layered on top of each other. 100%. And that's really the foundation of everything that we do at Integrative Wellness Group is we call ourselves integrative for a very specific reason, because, first of all, we're not afraid to ask questions about your mental emotional state. And you know, we had to get out of our own comfort zone with asking those questions because they were just as important as taking a health history. It was just as important as understanding the the different surgeries you've had, or the different illnesses that you've had, or the different infections you've had. That is just as important. Right. As most of the time when we're asking better questions and we're we're getting out of the comfort zone, we're realizing that most of the symptoms all started around the time that they lost a loved one, or they lost their job, or they got a divorce. So, you know, the point is, is that we can't we can't segregate out the systems. And we can't say, oh well, you know, you have a kidney issue, go to your nephrologist. Oh, you know, you have a bladder issue, go to the urologist, which is actually insane to think that the kidneys and the bladder are separate. Have different people. Yeah. And I'm like, okay, that's fine. Um, but the same thing is, you know, we're we're dealing, I I give this example all the time in my webinars, is, you know, you're dealing with a gastrointestinal issue, going to your gastroenterologist, but then you're also dealing with a low grade depression, going to your psychiatrist or psychologist. And 90 to 95% of your serotonin, which is your feel-good hormone, is made in your gut. Right. Yeah. It's, yeah. And the same thing can be said about having had a health history submitted and every time I get one, I'm like, this is great. Thanks for submitting it. We're definitely going to go through it, but I want you to tell me everything all over again. And that way I can piece together a timeline. Because more often than not, something's going to get forgotten that wasn't submitted. And that's going to be a vital piece of information that I still may not even be able to ask five different questions about during an intake in order to have for um, data purposes and compilation. So, I think a lot of times what we're seeing more and more of is that people are enamored with We're detectives. We are. And it's like asking questions -- better questions in almost different languages at this point in order to get different uh answers from people and the way that they want to disclose or that they feel comfortable disclosing, or the way that something they didn't realize they had to disclose. Oh. 100%. Which I think is what happens more often than not. Well, and, you know, one of the things that I taught you as you you joined the team was that you have to ask the same question in, you know, three to five different ways. Yeah. Absolutely. And you'll have, you know, no, no, no, oh, well, yeah, yeah, whether it's emotional, whether it's about a trauma, whether it's about an organ. It just it always comes up and that we have to be very detailed in the way that we're asking questions for for very specific reasons. It's just simple as when people say, oh, I eat super healthy. Right. And I'm like, well, what's your definition of healthy because my definition of healthy and your definition might look really different. There's some people that say I avoid fast food. That's why I classify myself as a healthy eater. And then there's other people that are like, I'm a raw vegan. And that's what I classify as healthy. So, it it's all in, you know, in the context. You have to be able to ask those better questions. And you know, something that I teach in the Growth Institute when I'm working with practitioners, is that you should already know what's going on with the patient by their consultation. And your testing should just confirm or deny your hypothesis. Because that is how good you should get at asking questions. And it's also, this is not happening. It's not happening. And what's so sad is that people are struggling. And people are feeling these bizarre symptoms. They're feeling weird tingling and uh, like brain zaps, and I don't know, what are some of the weird ones you hear? Yeah. Oh yes. Violent Phantom vibration in their legs. Yep. Electric armpits. Yeah, yeah yeah. Um, I've heard swishing, washing, and whirring in the ears. Yep. Yep. Which is hard for people to connect. Like brain swishing. Exactly. Um, flushes, like niacin flushes, but unrelated, obviously. Um, I've gotten stabbing in the head like an ice pick. Hmm. Uh, which is. I had that with after the person ran up a flight of stairs. Yeah. So Oh, fainting during ovulation. Hmm. Oh, that was me in the past. Yeah. Yeah. So Just stuff that I don't think going to a specialist, unfortunately, with like what you were saying, the way that we've sort of pinholed our our healthcare system would be able to relate to anything other than a hormonal balance. Right. Well, those people are getting told you should go on antidepressant. Right. Because, you know, maybe you're losing it a little bit. Right. And that's what's so sad because there are so many things that are working against us in this day and age. You know, I'm talking to a patient today, that turns out he has cyanide poisoning. You know, when did cyanide poisoning become a a routine thing to look for? Right. But the reason I looked for it was because I knew what his profession was before he got sick. And it was primarily working um, on with firearms. Like he was a firearm instructor. So, there's just so many interesting things to be said. But, you know, one of the main things that I want to circle back to, is yes, all of this testing is so necessary to give you that peace of mind and to empower you to be proactive, so that you're not just succumbing to a disease or succumbing to a more serious diagnosis later down the line. But I know that the other obstacle for people when it comes to embarking on their health journey is that, oh yeah, it's a lot of work. Hmm. Oh, it's a lot of work and like I don't have time and, you know, I can't afford the the healthy food and, you know, it's just not going to fit my lifestyle. Like, in in however way they phrase it, it's not going to fit their lifestyle. Right. And really at the end of the day it's like, what do you have if you don't have your health? Yeah. And you know, that's easy for me to say because it's one of my primary values. And I know that a lot of people kind of don't mind feeling like shit. Right. But for the people that do want to get better and they do want to see things differently. And they are sick and tired of feeling sad and anxious. And they're sick and tired of the headaches and sick and tired of the fainting with their periods. And they're sick and tired of being told, well, maybe you're just depressed. It's just understanding that as you embark on this health journey that you have to be committed to not just, you know, doing what you need to do to further your health, but understanding that you need to get comfortable with the idea of getting uncomfortable. Right, right. Because everything that you need and everything that you want is outside of your comfort zone. And you will fight like hell to stay in your comfort zone, which are all of the lovely sabotaging behaviors that we see. Right. On a daily basis. And listen, we love you and we we know that that happens and we've been there, we've dealt with it. But we are 100% committed to troubleshooting and getting people to where they need to be. And that's even one of the reasons why Dr. Nick does the human behavior work. Because we know that there are going to be those obstacles as to where your mindset is around that healing process. And we were never taught to be empowered. We were taught to follow. Listen to orders. You know, that's the primary way the school systems are even set up. You know, raise your hand, ask to go to the bathroom, do this, listen to your teacher. You know, and then it just translates over into the workforce. And we are not thinking for ourselves. And this really pandemic has really showcased that to its maximum capacity, because now, you know, we have a a series of endorsements telling us, you know, what to do with our health. Right. You know, how should we handle this scary virus. Right. And no one's talking about the real fucking problem. Right. You know, get your vaccine and get a donut. Right. Like the shit is insane. Like you can't even make it up. And let us tell you how to breathe as well. Yeah. And it's just it it's so crazy because at the foundation of it all is why are we not talking about the reasons why people have a poor immune system? Right. Which is driven by half of the companies that are endorsing, you know, these different therapies for this virus. And, you know, oh, you know, go to Walgreens and get your drugs and eat your McDonald's and get your Krispy Kreme and so on and so forth. And like, through the pandemic, what? Those were the main restaurants open. Of course. Of course. And but if we really were focused on on health, we would have been asking different questions and there would have been a different focus. Absolutely. And I think that also, on top of that, there would have been a shift in uncovering. And if doctors even felt empowered by this situation, and and leaned into it, instead of got everyone got scared. And, you know, rightly so to a capacity. But at the same time, no one leaned in far enough to see that this pandemic showed us the epidemic of our population. In that everyone is fat, sick, and tired. And those are are on the surface. What is underlying is what is triggering these comorbidities. And these lifestyle-induced issues that are making you sicker and sicker and sicker. And why maybe the virus like played on you, or a loved one, or your best friend. Because there were underlying issues that Nobody knew. I was just about to say, quote-unquote, nobody knew about, but at the same time, how the hell did all your specialists and all your your doctors not uncover an underlying cardiovascular issue? What they always say is that, what's the first sign of a heart attack? A heart attack. Yeah. And you know, when it comes down to it is, and this is a podcast that I've actually been meeting to do, is, like the top medications that men are on. And the top medications that men are on are all technically anti-inflammatories, when it comes to, okay, we got to lower your cholesterol because of the systemic inflammation. We also need to lower your blood pressure because of the systemic inflammation. Like those two drugs, ask 90% of the men in your life, they're all on them if they are above the age of 45 to 50. Yeah. But we also have to make sure that their penises work. So that's for blood flow and anti-inflammation. Well, exactly yeah. I know. That's the whole thing is like we have drugs for erectile dysfunction but all that is is an underlying cardiovascular issue. So that will be another podcast. Yeah. So many, many more to come. Uh, but, you know, again, the point is is that you don't know what you don't know. And if you're just getting your routine physical, which is unbelievably basic blood work, then there's nothing being uncovered. And you know, I was actually mentoring another functional medicine practitioner recently, and uh, she had a positive ANA, which is an autoimmune marker. And it could mean lupus. It could mean Sjögren's. Sjögren's. It could mean, um, Derma myositis, whatever. Myositis, it can mean a lot of things. So you really have to take it a step further. So I said to her, it was like, well, one of the most common things that I see when the ANA is positive but it doesn't reflex to telling you lupus, scleroderma myositis, so on and so forth. I was like, very often, if you run an autoimmune liver panel, that's where that marker's coming from. It's actually an autoimmune attack on the liver. And she was like, well, the liver enzymes are normal. I go, I don't care that they're normal. Run the test and I will guarantee you that it's going to be positive. And fought me tooth and nail on it because she had more of a conventional training and she's like, the book, the textbook says no. If the if the liver enzymes are normal, then everything's fine. And guess what? The test was positive. And I'm just like, sometimes you have to critically think and sometimes you have to get outside the box. And but this really goes for the patient as well. Is that sometimes you have to critically think, sometimes you have to get outside of the box. And that means that there's not a supplement that's going to fix everything, or a medication that's going to fix everything, or a dietary change that's going to fix everything. Sometimes it's also knowing that you deserve to get better. Right. And knowing that this isn't just about, you know, the next two months of your life being this strict diet or this strict regimen, but what are the little things that you're going to adopt in the long-term? Right. And that doesn't mean that our ideal patient is someone with a functional medicine background. And someone who knows all about supplements and someone who's, you know, anti big this or that. That's not what we're saying. What we're saying is that a lot of times the patient who comes from a referral, who's desperately seeking an alternative because they've been forgotten by their doctors. And they've been misled and misdiagnosed and misunderstood. That patient who is so committed, and so all in, and so willing to do whatever it takes to give up those foods they love for a a condensed period of time. And to make the drive, and to make the commitment. That patient is going to feel better. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's it's a multi-faceted process, that's for sure. And, you know, it's really just a matter of knowing what that process is for you. Um, because it looks different for every single person. And, you know, obviously, some of you listening have had the experience that, you know, you read about something that you felt was a good fit. And maybe it was the keto diet. And you did it and it was life-changing for you. And then there's a lot of other people that have embarked on, you know, the keto diet or some dietary change and they're like, this did nothing for me. Or Right. It helped for two weeks and then I plateaued. Um, again, you can see really remarkable results when you actually are knowing what you need. Right. And what your body is really craving. Right. So, that's really the beauty of of the testing and not guessing. Right. And really, really getting specific, is how can you really feel the best? Right. And, you know, and biohack yourself. I know that's like the new fancy term is biohacking. And, you know, we love people that want to biohack but I always laugh when I get introduced to these like new techniques and technologies with the biohacking stuff. And I'm like, you do know that you can just like do these like three really simple things and like radically transform your brain and your energy. And you actually don't need to like pay for these crazy expensive infusions and so on and so forth. But if you want to do you, you do you. It can be uncomplicated. And I think that's the other important factor to drive home is that just because you're getting these incredibly detailed DNA-based tests back, we are here to be used as resources to uncomplicate the process. Yeah. Because we've been through it ourselves. We've put the people we love through it. You know, we've we've worked and worked and worked to fine-tune a a, like you said, a multi-faceted process for results. 100%. Yeah. No, we we definitely, we do things with strategy every step of the way. And we always say it's not about what you do, but how you do it. And we've seen what has worked and we see what hasn't worked. And that is what created and cultivated the the process of how we work with patients now. But, you know, the the biggest thing that I want to invite you to do as you embark on your, you know, functional and integrative medicine journey is just be open. Be open-minded and really be open to information and soak it in and do your research and figure out, you know, what makes sense and what doesn't. But knowing that this is just as much as a mental emotional, you know, development as it is a personal health development. Because the way that you look at things and you look at the world really shifts when you go through the process. And it shifts because, Right. you know, you just realize there's you've been disempowered for so long. And it's because of these these phrases of don't fix it until it's broke. Right. And so on and so forth. And when you realize that you can be in the driver's seat and you can be empowered and you can be proactive, that is like people are just like, man, like how can I apply this to other parts of my life? Right, right. And I think that's why the allowing for the mental and emotional work that Dr. Nick does with patients and integrating that more routinely into programs has made such a huge difference. And then it's so amazing to see patients talking about it in the office, too. Just to each other. And then you're like, oh, maybe then I'm getting questions. Oh, I read this book in the office because something else we did in 2021 was that we created thinking time. Yes. And I just want to mention this quickly because it was a very collaborative effort with all staff and and we're moving or I should say inching closer and closer to inviting patients to let go of their technologies while they're in the office. While they're in our detox spa. While they're being treated by our technologies. And the way that we've gone about this is by introducing what we call thinking time. And we've put Ooh, it's so scary. Oh. So uncomfortable. First you see people and they're like, what am I going to do? Yeah. How do I talk to them? What am I going to do? And then, by the time people are leaving, they're like, well, you be here same time next week? And it's like we've we're I I We're reigniting social interaction. Oh my God, we're we're literally reintroducing people to actual social interaction. And it's it's kind of terrifying the fact that that we're talking about It's so disconnected. And I mean, you're in a detox foot bath and you're on your phone and you're reading news and you're getting riled up or you're or you're talking to someone who pisses you off. And it was like Or you're just playing the comparison game or like And I just love social media because it's so much bullshit. It's so funny. So, funny side story, when I was living in California, I remember just being like, I can't wait to go home. I miss all my friends. They're having so much fun without me. They're making so many memories. And I'm missing out. I'm missing out. I'm missing out. And like that was my mindset. And I got home and I couldn't wait to hang out with everybody. And I was like, oh my gosh, like, I feel like everyone is just like such good friends, making all these great memories. Yeah. And it's like And then I I meet up with my one girlfriend and she's like, oh, she's such a bitch. Or, oh my gosh, she's so annoying. She pissed me off last week. And I'm just laughing. I'm like, oh my gosh. I'm like, I'm literally sitting across the country thinking that you guys are this like living your best lives, this harmonious group of friends that are like braiding each other's hair and making the best memories. Yeah. Oh gosh, really, you just can't believe everything you see online. Oh my God. Sporting each other's women. Oh yeah. And then you're just like taking really good pictures and actually eating blow behind their backs. I was like, oh, gosh, really, you just can't believe everything you see online. No. No. And I worked with someone once who dubbed it perfectly and I've stolen it time and time again. And she called it compare and despair. Because you go down this rabbit hole of scrolling for hours and hours and hours about, oh, if if I could only have that, if I could only go there, if I could only lose X amount of weight, if I could only have money to buy that. Like things like that. And it's a vicious cycle that takes away that human interaction that at the end of the day, that's what we're craving. Yes. Right. For personal connection. You know, I remember just the first time that I started getting acquainted with this idea of thinking time. And it was just so uncomfortable. You're just like I would I would do it in my sauna. So I would like lock myself in the sauna, throw my phone out, you know, no laptop, no nothing. And I'm just like almost like looking around, tapping my fingers like, Yeah. And then when I finally started getting more acclimated to it after my stress hormones calmed down, then I was like, wow, these are times where I can actually think clearly. And I can think clearly about decisions that I would normally be impulsive about, and I can actually think about, you know, is that a good decision? Is that a bad decision? Or I can get creative. Hmm. And start to tap into things that I don't even normally Right. have the opportunity to. And, you know, so many people are running around with their heads cut off in this chaotic world and this chaotic life. And they just constantly feel like, oh my God, I gotta do this. Oh my God. I gotta do that. Like getting pulled in a million directions. Yeah, yeah. They they feel like they're aging. Their hair's turning gray. You know, and then they're, you know, want to go and get different things to make themselves feel younger and more beautiful. Look younger. But at the end of the day, it's like you you are running around in a chaotic environment because you've never taken the time to think clearly enough of how to decrease the chaos. Right. Because your chaos is your own decision. And I say that with love, because my chaos for ten years was I would have punched you in the face if you said it to me then. But it was my decision. Right. It was my decision because I chose not to take a break and not to think, not to get good sleep, not to exercise, and to do all the things that I tell other people to do, I wasn't doing. Right. And, you know, and was I constantly, I was taking 45 supplements. Smoothie, juice, this and that. I still felt like shit. I still didn't lose weight. I still wasn't attaining my goals. I was fried. I was fried. Completely fried. And was I enjoying my life? No. No. And that's something else that I think is coming more to the forefront now. And maybe it was the past year that allowed it to come to this space just because so many people in, you know, like a city atmosphere or a commuter atmosphere had to work from home. And talk about like forcing, I mean, you can still make that very chaotic. But that's a big change. And so I think what's coming out more and more now in this self-care realm is that you, what is it that saying? It's like, you don't have to be hustling to be uh, productive. Thank you. So like you don't That's the one. Yeah, but if you're not going to be productive. I forget what like the actual eloquent saying is but it's just something. It's the polar opposite of that. No, it's it's yeah. And it makes I think people now, especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you know, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yep. The best when the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. You're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you know, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there?

I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you know, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right.

Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you know, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now.

He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock.

And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race.

And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah.

Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain. And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah.

And I want to I want to actually piggyback off of what you're saying, because the the rat race that everybody was in before the pandemic and, you know, the stay-at-home order is that everybody was living that like rat race. And, you know, it's I think a lot of people can say, oh yeah, I was definitely pumping out stress hormones because I was go, go, go, go, go. Right. And what people don't realize is that now you're sitting home and thinking, well, I don't do that anymore. I'm not in that go, go, go life, but the stress hormones are being released when you're watching the fear-based media. And you're scrolling on the social media playing the compare and despair game. Right. And you're just getting filled up with so much negativity. That you're pumping out just as much stress hormones as you were. Yeah. You're just you're sedentary now. Right. So it's really, I would argue that it's worse. It's worse because there's no escape. Like when you were on the subway, let's say, and you're you got no internet connection, then you had your maybe 10, 15, maybe 45 minute break from your phone. Now when you're home, you're just constantly connected. Yeah. The best one the subway would stop on a platform and you'd have Wi-Fi for like a minute and a half and you'd watch people like, oh, thank God. Like you're like, uh. You made me wanna like throw my phone down the platform. Because but you fall into the trap. And it makes I think people now especially are like craving the city again. And even things are or that hustle or that commute or that rat race. And and everything I'm seeing, obviously, because I see you still fall into this all the time is that like, everyone who left just wants to come back. Like everyone who left is really missing it now. Yeah. And so it's like That's because of the podcast we did yesterday, which is, are you addicted to your stress hormones? Oh. Oh, yeah, girl. So for those of you that are listening to this and that's the way you're feeling is listen to that because, oh my goodness, when I saw this quote, and I don't even remember who it was from, are you addicted to your stress hormones, I almost like cried. I was like, oh, yes. I am. And I have been for many years. Right. Because what are you achieving? How are you furthering yourself if you're not stressed? That's what we've been taught to believe about success, and about growth, and about, especially about your career. Well, I think one of the best sayings I've ever heard is, like, slow down to speed up. And I remember the first time I heard it, I was like, shut up. Yeah. And you know, yet you have to you have to hear it a few times before it really resonates. But, um, there was a young kid who was quote-unquote hustling in my in my business program, and he was literally like 18 years old running an online business and just working around the clock. Um, he had the stamina to do it. And he was asking our business coach a question. And he answered it in a very interesting way. And he just said, okay. He's like, let's say, you're taking a road trip. And you are about to run out of gas. He's like, but you still have a solid 50 miles to go. He's like, are you going to just like step on the gas and say like, let's just try to get there and I'm not going to stop for gas. Or are you going to stop for gas and guarantee that you get there? Oh. And I was like, that's a really relevant example. Because so many of us are like, it's completely illogical. When you think about it. Let me step on the Look, it doesn't matter if you go faster. You're going to run out of gas. Like, end of story. It is going to happen. Right. So, we're trying to hustle and step on the gas in our lives. And like, it's inevitable that you are going to crash and burn and probably not actually reach the goal. No. You've probably taken 10 inches off at that point. Because you're torn down. And you're tearing yourself down. Cuz what are you doing on your commute then? What are you doing on your lunch break? What are you doing before you fall asleep? You're scrolling and you're still comparing yourself, even though you're killing yourself and burning yourself out and frying your brain.
