How can Near Death Experiences affect those that go through it? How can superstitions be shown to actually have benefit? What actions can you take to improve your health today? All of that in this month's GCP science reset with Ken & Eric.

Hi I'm Jay Farner CO Quicken loans 30% of Americans who are planning home improvements of $5000 or more will pay for those renovations with a high interest credit card that may not be a great idea a better idea may be to take cash out of your home with the Quicken loans 30 year fixed-rate mortgage the rate today in our 30 year fixed rate mortgage is 3.99% APR 4.08% call us today at 800 Quicken or go to rocket mortgage.com 125% B receive it is not real because it is not that he thinks all I got Jake project episode number 15 gets a project where you check your ego at the door and nothing is off the table we are here with Dr. Ken Brown what's up what's up Eric where you have a really really fun show for I guess this week when second who did you look for I guess it's week old man we got a start become organized knobs to this week we got so many cool topics that were just gonna roll with it because there's a lot of stuff going on in science stuff in the news Edward is learning so much every time we start going to these different meetings which you just came back from a meeting in we've done different meetings recently so which to keep bringing all that knowledge into this room and shared it with everybody and definitely we would so even just this last week number one thank you to everybody who began to ride into a so it seems like were very iTunes heavy in terms of subscriptions and people that are lacking in sharing the show so it was noticed thank you very much in case you happen to have forgotten all you have to do is like and subscribe to the gut check project on either iTunes or on YouTube and then you will be entered into the contest where you can win a free month supply of the signature protection package signature protection package which is all Tron tail and either KB MD sentiment or KB MD natural after you subscribe you simply have to go to get your project.com go to contact choose an email that says I subscribe to GCP we had several hundred last week and thank you for all the comments down there to there's lots people who just want to know more about trying to heal and know more about CBD they say that either or both of them are already working and that's that's great and would several guest suggestions as well think I've ever had the advice to be contacted by several patients who said that they were taking CBD and that after adding upfront feel that they notice that they feel like they are little bit better improvement is a placebo or is there something else going on and actually got some science behind it the reason why we called the signature package once you explain the science well long long ago is getting so I have CBD of course works as a supplementary micronutrient for your Indo cannabinoid system which is something that really we need to get onto the website it's a little bit about the meeting that we just went to Swint's last week talking about how to better convey this information but essentially the way the website looks awesome developed by a cRNA for cRNA doing a website it's pretty dang good yes if for a cRNA doing a website that's right that's basically the way we get away with saying it's a terrible website but were trying to make it better I promise so that was a little bit of the of the meeting that I went to for the last day and 1/2 and dad it's some great people out there want to say hey to donate and to Sarah and to to Brad great group of people out there in Phoenix but in Jake's charging only the Sarah Silverman yeah Bradley Cooper they were all there there into their there into web stuff and Nate McGillicuddy that there there all they are three people yeah I work so hard as you will never know they work there anyway but so the CBD will actually augment or work as an micronutrient fear Indo cannabinoids system and that's it that seriously is like any other system that we have in our bodies it's over 600 million years old evolutionarily speaking through all types of animals if you're a bird of vertebral meaning that you have a backbone you're guaranteed to have any CS so essentially what happens is taking CBD allows our ECS are you know can have annoyed system to better regulate and function as the governor between our immune system in our nervous system you've all heard of those systems so essentially whenever you have chronic inflammation it's either one of those two that's kind of working out about CBD doesn't yeah so I think one of the biggest issues that people are having with the CBD stores are popping up everywhere that I was I have news this and that's going on but nobody really understands why what so I get my patients a command and will say things like oh I've tried to be do nothing happened but I'll just say well here's part of the problem there's a lot of companies out there that even even the people that are making some CBD don't really understand the science behind it and once they try to BMD CVD the electrical back and say oh my gosh I took X, Y, and Z did notice anything now I'm able to my back pain is gone my neuropathy is gone and then I can explain why what's actually happening we all have an Endo cannabinoid system I keep coining the term and end of Caleb and all just because I really feel like the more and more I read about it the more it is really complex and there's some really cool science out there but the signature packages there because all trying to kind of stops in enzyme that breaks down your own endogenous and a cannabinoids meaning your body makes CBD you called Ananda my and that's part of the issues that we start going on these rabbit holes of explaining stuff but it's really easy you just have to realize that when you take CBD presses the reset gets everything back in balance and that's a come I think it's more than adapted you meaning that when you take it in your body will figure out what to do with it that's why you can't overdose on it that's why so many people can have incredible results that's why some people takes longer because maybe you need more of this what would you call micronutrient or an adapted you because I can go by a lot of different terms but people of your left and be my my goals to really try to explain a lot of the science and once I can put together good signature talk that is sort of as we always say bridges the gap between this complex science and natural solutions then were, to get out there and were to put that on the website on this evolving website yeah what you want and nothing's off the table of course so through that research and and I was there firsthand as you began to have patients who used CBD and then use a couple different brands and manufacturers not seen that the different changes in terms of once I finally have a high quality CBD so up I do want to say that what we offer the KPD health is not the only awesome CBD that's out there but what I can tell you is it does check all the boxes so if you're hunting for CVD to make a difference begin with a legitimate COA certificate of authenticity if they can't do that then move onto the next one that's if you can't check that box there is no reason to continue the discussion did you see I saw a news article where somebody got fired from their job because they were drug tested and they tested positive they were fired the personally got fired knew that they were doing anything all are doing CBD that it starts going around that CVD can cause false positives sure that person send it to a third-party analysis and as it turned out and even that particular one so that the amount of THC was none came back actually very high level so unfortunately somebody lost her job over this and now they're suing the CBD manufacturer for all of that so will CLA's can unfortunately date they now are the new fraud document right that's what somebody else is doing there just trying to play off of the something else and oversupplied coattails of somebody else and make it look legitimate that's what the people who commit fraud do they just they do that so ultimately I can say that if you want to trusted product that I know that Dr. Brown certainly endorses KB MD CVD is at least as safe choice in terms of quality price and and what you're after in terms of CVD so speaking of me that's that's that we took the high road with upfront heal from day one trip when we started looking at ingredients when we started looking about where were to manufacture we took at KBS research with our team over there we took off trying to only send it through different certifications one that I'm really proud of is this NSF which is certified for sport reason why I think that is so important is because working to start seeing that the combination of all trunk tools polyphenols helping with both sports performance and helping with sports recovery plus the stress of doing athletic performances automatically can going to deplete your own end of cannabinoids and so that signature package right there I think is going to be really critical in any contact sport making sure that the polyphenols that go through of that what make about her until we we develop trying to yield for digestive health were learning more and more the complexities probably feels like it's a great science in an article today that kinda ties a lot of this together but that's what I think is going end up being such a cool thing the signature package which almost all my patients are on that that combo right there my mom all my staff everybody and with this I can just see this being the future of Howard to start treating trauma Hogan start making sure that anybody a contact sport you prevent the inflammatory response before it actually starts causing some damage and some long-term consequences then this is its awesome information and we seen it firsthand where people have written to us again tons of email even just that as people have signed up and subscribed and shared gut check project it on YouTube or iTunes and just written this little notes I think also much mail trying to heal and CVD it worked great for me even common certainly appreciate them but if you just want to enter to get your own free month supplier chance that we have at least five winners coming up in July so simply go to get check project.com let us know that you signed up under the contact tab and will take care of the rest of your summary of soda purchase to be in the CBD and you just what I'm trying to outrun ~I almost make the fatal mistake that the nobody Arnaz is a writer development and you just want to add the signature pack to increase your own addendum I'd use trying to yield to augment your CBD death even if you don't have got issues even if you're not real interest in the polyphenols in the antiaging and anti-inflammatory effect but you want to make your CBD better go to love my tummy.com/spooky use code spinning saves money so eight Dr. Brown what is on the topic in terms of what happened with you on Father's Day how is Father's Day with his fathers it was also it wasn't found there was no tennis of course it rained like crazy but there is no tennis I did have a meeting there was it was awesome so Saturday great weather did just one of those old school hang out in the pool float I throw the ball we're just having fun and just if I felt like it was no like when the kids were four and five we would do that all day everyday so that was awesome and then on Sunday did something a little different we drilled Lloyd out shoes not too excited to do it it rained all night okay and muddy and everything and she had to laugh because I was wearing some pretty old grubby clothes she's like you to go out like that like area because Lucas and I have discovered kind of a fun little thing we found a cool park with Frisbee golf went out as a family played frisbee golf you have the putter and then that of the different discs for the different shots or is it just one desk per person much like my regular golf game much-needed driver drive no matter what we just use drivers there were some other people in the course in July, we that it's like to you're watching people to really know what they're doing now but would have thought it was really cool so it was a hot muggy and muddy and it was a resume just punch those little things I mean I think that we don't get out enough just do silly stuff get yourself back in nature is really cool park it's over East Plano and just really one of those silly unplanned witches do this not whereby they nobody's looking at phones or just out there slinging a desk have a little fun again no I love unloved days like that and said that's good stuff how was your father's death as it was good it at the one of those things where the actual Father's Day on Sunday namely the boys not to get together on Monday because Kate's out of town shoot hoop that was also in a tournament and it's quite the normative use have busy kids that are teenagers and dad but we did get together Monday I guess nice new kicks which the boys are great at picking out and issues for dad I'm terrible at it and then they surprised me by buying me my first opportunity to go and do a tandem skydive jump so I asked the boys and Marie they wanted to do with me Marie said sure I mean I'm I'm nervous but I want to do it gauges like yeah love can't wait and Max response was nope and I think all three also different different planes of the don't have a good feeling about sales exactly how I would be you guys do that let me know me and macro go catch a movie that only think he wants to come watch e-zines want to hear of it that it's all okay when it's over but looking forward to it I do have to own something when you said you get some new pixels and this is like what happened that I'm I have been on the slight run of losing things, so the family got a really cool wallet had bag two cards got the wallet out that's awesome then we went and did the whole Frisbee golf and got all muddy and got busy and everything have the card sitting there I can't find this wall really yeah so thanks family for dinner three but find it and switch out everything Ireland beat up wallet here so it's a great gift that's a habit of things can turn that things just turn up months later after I ordered three more from Amazon now let's deftly believe also remaining in the show today we got a bunch of topics that people have written about that we decided we wanted to counter framed this particular episode around everything from what what's experience a bit of or what's it like to have a near-death experience and kind of how your brain adjusts is that we with Dr. Brown has a really cool article on point sanded ins and have the get the gun actually reacts to that yet another topic of their also yeah so we had those few things there's I'm in a be doing a live Facebook at 530 today central standard time 630 Eastern with the Siebel SOS crew massive community sure Siobhan Sartre asked me to do this and it's in it are very classic and she laughed about this case you realize how this works you notionally go through usual text your email you you and I'll be working and I'll just go and what yeah whatever sure I didn't realize my commitment to this and how big of an audience this is so I'm doing in our Facebook tonight and then on July 2 second I'm doing a three hour live lecture series followed by Q&A check out SEBO SOS Summit damages Google and SIB oh SOS if you want to catch Dr. Brown this is it said this is a really big group now document a few years ago to get started not not as massive hits you – ugly big group but I'm looking at the other speakers there you got Mark Pimentel Santos Rao Allison C Becker Mike Roos COM and all the big players in this whole Siebel community and I had to laugh because I'm like well I need to learn some stuff that they would talk about them all I think I'm the last lecture in the whole series and so the cycle how to why top any of the stuff that they've done there so try to find some unique things and I did bring an article that will probably talk about tonight was Siobhan because one of the things everybody does talk about are these different gases that these bacteria produce okay so how do you start looking into a little different way if you're unfamiliar with what were talking about see both small intestinal bacterial overgrowth if you get sick take antibiotics or have an infection then you have a chance of the motility in your intestines changing and bacteria can start growing where they shouldn't be stopped the bacteria good or bad the destroyed or they shouldn't. Then whenever you eat that's what creates all the bloating that's why we developed ultra until to help those people that get bloated and we initially were basing on the science behind how methane is produced today's articles really cool about how molecules are trying to interact with hydrogen sulfide which a lot of people have always asked the essence of this community is a very knowledgeable community and so I imagine such as Facebook live somebody's going to say that I'm ready to start talking hundred sulfide and the Pro at the sign additions a.k.a. upfront to ethical thing is it does it just because I think it it what's happened without trying to heal that we've been able to at least begin to address methane production but that's not where is our everything ends so it's it's kinda cool I think to have people see that you've continued the research and we just keep knocking down the hurdles that are that are before us and hopefully start coming up with some better answers is with us and because these other speakers right just completely respects her a lot of them are on the the lecture circuit lot of them or know primarily researchers and knowing what I did pharmaceutical research my office was consistently one of the highest enrolling sites being a private practice office in the Dallas area and when we do this I facts and studies it was Cedars-Sinai Mount Sinai Mayo Clinic Johns Hopkins and you know being number one is not always the best this is how I know that we enrolled most because the FDA said wait a minute what is this little tiny spot Plano to enroll all these people so they came and gave you a good thorough audit for two weeks that was so much fun to have as a redo your car note yes that's I know that so the thing about it is is that we want to bring to the table is real world just completely real world experience of people that are frustrated that they've done a lot of things so it isn't so much saying that this is my protocol this is this because all the others to see Becca protocol Pimentel program protocol there's always people to open protocols sure and know that I meds they really really work for them I can't because everybody has Artie done one of these protocols and shows up just a high-volume practice so when I bring is okay let's be practical about it I don't really want to spend that much more money because you've Artie spent a lot of money we don't need to scope you for the fourth time and if you ever had any issues like this then you can understand what I'm talking about by the time you end up seeing a doctor and so it'll be interesting because I'm one of the few really traditional – are all just talking and this community kind of doing the whole bridge the gap thing try them both sides lease of an active patient pool to yes very activation pool and I'm always learning for my patients and then when I'm in a go on something like this I know they're going to throw some questions will give me curveballs and that just makes me better sure just continue to grow so later in the show we also are going to address we had several questions this last week about while air if you are a member of KB in the health you more than likely received an email it talked about the KPMG health box which I didn't really know that we were going to get to today but it looks like it we have to because we had tons of people sign up and then we've had more people with with statements like this is great but what is X, Y, and Z so in the second hour were going to go straight to what is the KB the health boxes can't touch on it probably won't take up the whole time but deftly kind of the unmask a little bit of the yeah start unmasking that yeah absolutely and of course my baila company digestive health Associates of Texas D hat still going to launch that will work a few kinks up it's a little bit different when you're launching with 90 doctors versus one we already have a community that's listening and we can talk to them in the way that I'm used to talking to them so little learning curve so if you happen to be a digestive health associate patient and you go see your doctor gray ones that box coming up but looked like a little fire under it is asked by many else it's like anything is no one's fault it's want to have the yeah the coined phrase of the of too many chefs now so sometimes you have a lot of input and things can slow down the will we will figure that part out also to add on to the near-death experience talk that'll come lead into little bit about superstitions to talk about about the science superstitions and why humans may actually benefit from them even though there's no scientific explanation on the outset or the perception of them we might have a little bit of it to talk about the woman start looking at these different things ever silicone what in the world where the goal of this will the dealers is that when you can start making scientific sense of things you could start taking control for instance if you if your worrier I was a central podcast this morning about different things you can do to help control the worry how you can sit there and either embrace it control it visualize something different but it all comes down to doing something to get your mind under your control right and that you can call that meditation you can call it whatever but it's a practice we discussed that where I was telling you about the whole NLP were you can do some sort of movement associated with the memory or emotion and you can put yourself in that a motion that's what Tony Robbins does before he goes on stage or visit minutes that's weird she gets on the trampoline or does this routine yeah that a superstition that no neurolinguistic programming all these different things start to make sense when you start looking at it because when we are doing all these things you're moving Marcus Aurelius the yeah the Stoic philosopher I like to read that daily stoic yesterday it was so pertinent because this and you know that now that we've been doing business for little while you you understand my brain works which when you start feeling overwhelmed and you pause be in the moment and stick 1 foot in front of the other and then when Ryan Holliday interpreted that is what he saying is when it looks really daunting look at the one hurdle that you have to get over first yeah and you know that's how my brain works because I'm just like you think about anything until I get this one thing done and then I'll move there's other people that like to try to get half a thing done of many things I'm much more that's what starts bringing in a lot of anxiety and a lot of depression for a lot of people in learning how to be in the moment just take the one step in front of the other I think that that's were CBD can really help people out also work because it actually we showed in one episode how CBD can bond to the serotonin receptors prime directly I think that allows you to really get getting control of your emotions and do that we can talk about a lot of stuff and tie it all together and why all of this is related to gut health yeah I think that today shows it has really cool basically things you can begin to apply to your daily routine to hopefully alleviate anxiety and if you have just even mild depression start finding something some tools that you can incorporate as soon as today speaker tools.org or open up the next half-hour yeah yeah what's that I'm not telling that sound scary gut check project episode number 15 we will be back

800-452-1075 however that this resort is here in the half-hour magic project episode number 15 Brown said he had something about tools so you are out of town so as everyone knows you do 99% of my anesthesia for all my colonoscopies turned on through the night myself and my patients thank you very much as you do an excellent job at your out-of-town flag I got a chance to work with somebody new for the first time I have a moment oh yeah moment great guy and it was really interesting because you you forget that you spend so much time with one person that don't have a chance to talk but in these if you've never had a colonoscopy anybody or if you've never actually seen what happens basically the gastroenterologist and the cRNA or anesthesiologist are in the same room for eight hours and the lights are off and Everett everybody's pain attached to the: not the butt but the: on the screen and talking a little bit you'd learn stuff about people learn quite a bit about it so Mo and I reset the talk and he didn't really know a lot about me and Connor hinted at something and he said he was you know what you would really like this podcast and super into it I'm like yeah what is it goes Peter Addie had had like yeah yeah listen to several of his stuff and just you know I learned about him through another guy you should meet Dan Ben Greenfield like okay so you are listening to similar projects contents of this led to him asking me all kinds of things as we started to move on is like he was waiting at your end of the stuff so no what you think of this sauna infrared sauna things will onto a sauna topic and we talked about that Charles Rison in his studies with that the finish guy and all the estate so it turned into a bio hacking day while Anna and I started telling him and live pictures of everything and of course I just about bring everything that I try out the X.3 bar vibration plates MiraLAX sauna I sent you bring it all to work and make everybody do it right they want to write well I'm sure that the they have a full say baby I feel obligated yet so then we got to talking what all he's like oh my gosh I need get them what will you be like me were you to start ordering stuff that you do hear a podcast that all of a sudden everything starts showing up at your house think about that I was like wow since you left this is my newest attempt to hack okay I got these BFR bands BF armband blood flow restriction. Okay so the idea behind these are that you put these proximally on a joint and then you do low weight high repetition to increase blood flow and it prevents the venous blood flow from coming back K penetrates deeper into the muscle because the pressure starts build up in there so you not restricting arterial blood flow but not restricted venous blood flow okay and the theory is that this can actually increase muscular hypertrophy increase muscle growth growth hormone goes up but not just in the limb the body has a systemic response really is so that sounds kind of crazy though knowing that that venous blood can I be carrying back that waste gas CO2 the lactic acid so is it is all of that extra dilation and pressure together helping to penetrate the tissues at the idea I think the idea is that it helps to put penetrate the tissue that when you relieve it there is a compensatory dilation can flushes the lactic acid little experiment pair oh that autumn okay yeah that sounds fun so wanted to slap this on your right arm right on it way up and then all you do is just tighten it like this okay so it's like a flex turn okay here is how you can go as high as I can get okay aren't you listening and adjusting band with one arm now on the way Brown has a much bigger arm than the show is all about science were doing to get it if you his attention just if you just lift up will pitch ready so I brought a resistance band you can sit in your chair okay put it on your foot just do a few bicep curls as we keep talking okay were to look and see if one arm is been has that this is a this is a rubbery rope I have is from when you're handing it to me I thought it was so I'm holding here is just basically a yeah a plastic or robbery braided rope and I'm going to apply tension and then begin to to make curls essential while although no doable thoughts on both yeah and so this way we have a comparison we have it we have a placebo are okay yeah you like that placebo are dorky joke okay hold I'm having to flip the hand around because the yeah the the butt of the handles, banging his wrist little bit no yeah I think you have to speak back little bit and do that but I was so go ahead and keep doing that as were going to do this is our Instagram post for the day for sure just great audio so what so what Eric is doing right now some occult blood flow restriction I think it kinda makes its way through different weightlifting circles periodically and the idea is that you can increase venous pressure port your to decrease venous return resulting in increased blood flow to the muscle and so you don't have to use as heavy of weight but then you just do multiple repetitions and you can get some outcome so this all stemmed from me working with Mo we just about bio hacking and different things it dawned on me how much stuff I'm willing to try you try a lot of things I see no idea member that movie tin cup whenever he had anything you know he's got days get a hat on and has the ball hanging down ladies get the medication just walked in here age the trailer can't get him out of it yeah the shakes like a virus well that there is interest is only keep trying to to do this while we have this discussion we look more I just am I'm looking to see if one you deafly have more venous distention and the right arm that's actually that's on has this one has the a lot more actual which call BFR Yep bit well yeah the brand is BFR blood flow restriction okay yeah I mean I can necessarily feel the difference but it it is different so is interesting I actually have leg ones also I put a lot of those doing logistic air squats also stuff to try to figure out skills hey if you do that enough aren't you going to cause varicose veins oh Mike can't stand when a 14-year-old sitting something I'm not yeah I mean there's gotta be a reason but well you know I think it's working why can definitely see basically the bulging here in this particular vein you can see here it's not Councilman Reo here nearly as much so obviously it's restricting return back to the heart in that and one limb so just another little little things I will let you know for from seeing some significant difference here but that's what yeah and just pulled off oh no there's a combination it's a lot yeah I know you get it now see you will very very interesting and I don't know how would we measure that is penetrated better but what kind of parameters of the user that she has studies on this and like but I did look up in his studies on the South Bend strengths if I get you do that live on the UN probably happen again note no doubt well so earlier in the show we we had a few people who rode in and wanted to know about the traumatic events and in having traumatic events we had a couple people who said you know does near-death experience affect me or affect someone who's had it and how does it affect the relationship with other people in their lives and in you and I started talking and then you rent another you reminded me but you brought up that now we've even you and I both have had a couple of the strange experiences growing up as is a lot of different people doing you've asked me to to counter retail this story here will if it was wonder why we went here last week we had Cooper read on correct and we would talk about suicide and suicide is currently being studied at Johns Hopkins for both depression and PTSD right so the stopper got brought up and there note people that have had near-death experiences that is a profound cause of PTSD and people can ruminate on death and it did definitely has in it I can say from my own experience and it stuck with me pretty well and there's there's a couple things my life they were kind of weird whenever I experienced in that the but this one in particular was probably the only time that I actually thought that I was more than likely going to die and what happened in the year 2000 exactly one week to the day before Anne-Marie and I were to get married we were down in Galveston were down some friends Dave and will and another guy named Cameron Cameron lived in Galveston and rain at the time lived just south Houston what we went down to the beach and Cameron had a new surfboard anyone is that you want to show us how how cool it was and how he could certainly gallows to visit Hawaii were now or it takes real skill to get up and that in those low energy wave is I was thinking of Cabo where the word the ocean to be very dangerous with the huge undertone sure you now there are jetties though because it obviously is is eroding the beach and so if you've ever been to Galveston or down towards Jamaica Islander things they call it that had the St. Louis bridge there is there's these long jetties whatever the interval is that shoot out from the beach out to after the golf and we were right next to the area over there was a jetty on our left into our right was the old flagship hotel that you don't believe there anymore and had a really bad storm couple years ago took it out but regardless and in you can see people of it the hotel it was built on top of these peers that went all the way out into the Gulf and son is is that going down and were just standing in water can control my brain if I can go word or not it's one thing out and then I get to that next thing the next week because when you start looking it's about now thigh deep so it's it's not big waves: there is now nothing even think about what to figure out how this is a near-death experience so far it sounds so far as I like hanging out sound like silliest run up with a gun yeah and and they didn't fortunately but that Cameron goes out on his surfboard and Dave and Marine will and I understand it is watching and he's catching some waves and where you just casually drinking a beer to while he's out there doing it and that I do remember looking back that as we're watching Cameron serve that a wave came in it was probably bigger than the others not huge though Andy, wash upon us and then a few seconds goes by and then suddenly I'm not on my feet anymore and I'm underwater coaches and on base I can feel myself just kind of being I don't know's scurried underneath water and water go to my nose in such a huge undertow cam upper exactly what was I not terrifying how quickly something like that can happen it was out of nowhere maybe I had no expectation that there was even any element of danger of us standing there and then when I popped up notes so whenever we were standing on the 81 in the thigh deep water we were only about 20% annual court of the way down the length of the jetty that was on our left and we were good I don't know 4050 yards away from it now to laterally and so the water came it sweat me out and when I popped up I quickly realize that even further out was Dave and Marie there back behind me and were not even where the waves are crashing yet we can be we went underneath where all the waves were crashing up against the jetties and we popped out and you all we have is the waves as they are building up hello there crashing over and I can remember Dave yelling in the distant saying bellringer don't go towards the jetty I might yeah yeah did you say go to the judge's so I am comforted that Marie is close to today but I don't see will anywhere that I have no idea what will is and I keep trying to swim laterally that's really the only thing that I'm I knew away from the Jenny he was doing no good though I just did kidnap power the wave was pushing me and it ends up pushing right to the end of this Jenny rock right at the very very tip and I can remember as well I'm riding a wave and you hear crash the closer you get the louder the sound gets and then the wave pick up any of the crash will then I can remember distinctly that the water in the wave just before the storm to the rock crashes on the edge the very tip of the jetty and it just goes and is it goes down I could see all way down I could see him exhibiting muscles and whatever LOL although the rocks on my and in my mind since Marie now living in southeast and often times on the local news are talking about people who who died on the weekend just hanging out on the beach and I sent in my mind I remember thinking your to be on the knees and you not gonna make it to the wedding your wedding and but they should family together I guess you know and so then the head though the my my turn comes apparently so your watch so you know it's, I there is nothing you could do about it you look at all these rocks and muscles and sharp objects skip looking back on gigantic pieces or red granite stone
like – consider square cube but they deftly been cut right so they could build these jetties so they been stacked along the end and so then my wave comes in a seat I'm thinking it's it's can be head injury now because that you being hurled into jagged large wall so just a big wall of stone I choose so the moment I hit my first surprise is I in him head and then the crazy thing was I then just felt my body being pulled down and I quickly saw the scar from a nominee as quickly jammed my my leg between two of those gigantic stone dry and water is crashing up and basically coming over my head with each successive wave and had to get energy try to think about the timing it really could believe that I was still there and finally as I began to peace together I really haphazard but it worked strategy to get out of there I crested the top and the moment that I get to the top I thankfully I see Dave and then what he's doing is he's retrieving Marie I thought I was a bad spot they actually washed up on close to the the tip of the jetty but actually on the side and that is nothing like a underwater washing machine boat shoes and she every time she tried to step up Dave said she was being sucked you see video having that of tourists and in Hawaii there's a state of the get sucked up and then they can't get out of that little whirlpool all awful Gallic when the crime got crashing and that the big stones and Dr. of I got back a big cliff it's it's very very similar day in appearance the way it looked but think thankfully for Dave he's right there he pulls Marie up and inward which is all cut up right and the week goes but we made it obviously and we found will will have like 11 Nick about his bellybutton Sally have scary and then he got it he didn't get pushed annually as far as we did but regardless we were fine but I still remember having for brief a time lots of thoughts about that eyelids already kind of now should say comfortable but I accepted the idea that was coming it and the weird thing is though you are forced to begin to reconsider your life choices where you what your direction is what is it you're going to do in and I I would say that when you were clinging with your knees right essentially you clamp your knees right really thankful that you have that Suzanne Somers thigh Master yeah down the runway that's the one time readers like I'm happy about that life choice yet there's no saving my life that and the little finger good machine that I had there that I was always now I've done that I don't know that I have a thigh master anymore but I just imagine just clinging to a wall waiting for wave after wave of the way when they hit you just like his heavyweight just one dance pulling down on all parts of your body sent just like your bathing suits everything right and I mean I still wear my my shirt I think anyway being Labor Day was torn and that we are broken up pretty good and read and you know we we laughed it to the third series was behind us we all went on to enjoy each other's company and hung out's, talked about it people in this nobody bar restaurant across the street were looking at us as were still bleeding and yellow came like that you know yeah and and dad but what Marie and I both went through together going through that was comes bombing expansive we made we had several conversations about just that one evening that just that one 30 minutes that said they kinda form the way that we both were able to Kelly Golding and reevaluate where you are in life and then didn't really occur to me until a few years ago day what was what was that coping mechanism what allowed these different things to happen and I'll enough as I began to look through it I learned that Marine are actually fortunate that we did it together because people often times it have near-death experiences alone or away from all of their significant others or close family members they actually end up being not perceived well by those who don't understand their experience I can actually build up a wall lots of times there are people who have near-death experiences that they have a significant other that didn't go through the same sequence of events are the same expense at all and they actually have a hard time relating until the other person has time to recoup from that and I found that fascinating that just by complete block it number one we survived it in number two that we did it together that that wasn't something that became a barrier wall action was a bonding experience and others actually lots of the dopaminergic activity or dopamine release it happens and the realization of the things that you did right you get past the trauma and so which of course not I don't I just think it's fascinating because that is the way that you said that you enumerated note through through life you're going through other things and you you go back you can reflect on that you we came out of that so we can we can fix we can basically get through anything else that's not a life-and-death situation I really think that that's a lot of our veterans feel yes which is why they find community amongst other veterans because you don't look at the Vietnam era look at the rock era were people come back and third misunderstood get the PTSD that got traumatic brain injury all that kind of stuff and if you don't find your sense of community were other people can get it it can be a very lonely an anxiety provoking time without question into make it even more lucky and to bring and they the veterans it is exactly what I was moves on the misers reading through this we didn't lose anybody in our party out of the five of us that were together we all five left had someone been hurt whatever did net the scenario recovery would have been far more different that the same thing plays out people who have automobile accidents they have a plane crash or whatever but when a band of people go through something together it's traumatic and life-threatening with and that's one thing if somebody survives and someone doesn't it can actually really really way and that's what gives way to the survivor's guilt and different things like that so I just had a patient that told me that her functional medicine psychiatrist was at the national of PTSD meeting and in the meeting were a bunch of gastroenterologists around the country no kidding – it's good I was like wow I didn't think and choose like yeah will first of all in the intake for now you know that was throwing some intake form you do smoke do whatever is commendable to address certain things so I think that one of the criteria Medicare now was asking his have you been a victim of any trauma that you start going on the PTSD route and it makes total sense as a gastroenterologist if you are not able to get past an event in your life that's how come so many G.I. issues are tied to childhood abuse no joke and we've learned that forever that when you start looking at these different things that that could really be tied to something like that because the serotonin in the gut there's more certainly got that in the brain and then anytime you have any type of dopaminergic depletion or any type of cortisol rise that affects your intestines so all these kinds of things it's interesting because I'm trying to think about wow if I had the perfect practice it would include both the addressing not just using proper diet not just using some some bio hacking tools right like sauna like CBD but then also offering the environment where meditation can be taught mindfulness meditation so in article just came out this fits right and I just read this were they published that and realize how far you have to go mindfulness meditation can actually help with rumination not food rumination rumination of thought thoughts yeah so rumination of thought you look that many of the way it's that thing where you just go man can't get that out of my head why do I keep thinking about the negative thing why does this happen why am I worried about this why is this it's the rumination it can be OCD level Richard be over here but when you start doing a mindfulness meditation then you can ask you start taking control of some of that stuff and I want to hear I want to talk about how athletes can cope without penalty but my near-death experience okay super quick death I was driving home from but I was out of town knows to head the Google maps on that said turn right and I turned right it was paying attention but I turned right right before I should've and I ended up in a McDonald's drive through what yes that a car pulled up behind me and I was stuck in the drive-through I pulled right up there and she was hate what I get you then I was like panic that it will to do this with Joe I hope KB McDonald's it was in my car thankfully I was able pull over right away and throw it out yeah it's too bad Lloyd when they were younger than together I don't talk about it Donald you weren't there as there alright so let's use that same idea try to control your brain and control his thoughts let's talk about what you want to talk about what they the interesting thing the title of the together is how to get past how do you regain control heady because I never felt out of control in my thoughts and I wasn't struggling to find a happy place treating us like that and don't think that severely severed since just that one incident but it it made me want to kind of explore what is it that people are doing and what kind of routine do they get into and I was reminded just this last weekend while watching the College World Series Texas Tech within and I noticed that one player for instance Josh Young he always talks to his bat before he plays this guy was drafted by the Rangers I think number eight while and absent successful hitter etc. any eve we've all seen the guys are about to batten a buckle and then buckle and the buckle and buckle there are gloves right before they hit and they all have the routine so often times we dismiss superstition as dumb or inexplicable but we just do it and the truth is there's lots of research that shows that establishing a routine actually no matter how silly can allow your brain to administer the right amount of dopamine to where you find the focus necessary to achieve the task and even though it may set expectations unrealistically high for what the outcome is when those achievements don't happened or don't occur the level of depression is is less it's basically like well we can do it again next time but the times of people are withheld from doing their superstitions they almost inevitably always blame the fact that they didn't do the routine there so this all tied back to some really basic stuff that Tim Ferris and several others have said find your morning routine to establish your mode of success and I could start with making your bed every day or your routine for meditation or your routine on how you make your breakfast or just your routine on how you greet your family members but your routine matters you set up your routine you take control of your day that way and then it is you've set it in motion a mean Arnold Schwarzenegger Tony Robbins talks about it superset dilemma super successful people all have his morning routine with a get up and they do the stuff I think that you start using this morning routine and augmenting it by getting out and earth in general being to get outside little bit special with the sun shining start your circadian rhythm going right by doing that you can drink a big glass water start your hydration routine and then if you're capable to be really cool to do a meditation every day before we do the show I was go to the Colleyville lifetime I have got a little routine where I ended it by being in the sauna and during 15 minutes of mindfulness meditation and I think that that is a way to control even if this show sometimes you know we just go okay hope the show goes well least I have control of that portion of having contracts like a grounding it's it's it's as is a level familiar familiarity that you can embark upon something new and you you know that you have just like you said that level of control to move forward and and has encompass so key take away today if you're experiencing even just modest amounts of overwhelming feelings of anxiety start I just mapping out a new routine it's beneficial to you and that you can commit to not how small a really back in

Rieger I see them I practice that I'm trying to is a whole lot more than just the bloating product yes it is a whole lot more than just exploding because of the polyphenols that you find in trying to think of these polyphenols these polyphenols can help you have more energy and polyphenols are great sounds like a hellhole more people than just loading up my family.com/project episode 15 second hour I'm here your career with your host Dr. Kim Brown this real quick is real quick reminder love my tummy.com/spoony love my tummy.com/20 everyone's a winner you can save money on your month supply about 20 and will give a quick shout out real quick to spoony show Trey trays chow down he was just picked up by three other radio stations are now syndicating really yeah yeah good for him absolutely so take the time Dave to check out trades chow down on the spinning at work it's a great show it's a it's a it's a terrific show so anyhow gradually stray and more continued success as the spinning network continues to grow there's a cassette last week just tons of great shows around spinning network and these need to do so if they were taken out so Dr. Brown we had hinted last hour that you are going to address some of the questions we had come into the email that only those have Artie signed up with Katie in the health box but there's a few who like a this sounds great they had some some some more I guess articulated questions the things that you would Artie plan on getting to so before we sent out the email to do some acclamation we figure we went to the show and it will send out later today yeah so were really excited we work on something we brought up a few episodes before about the digestive health associate member box and what this is is a curator a cultivated box where I want to put things to augment your life that have been vetted that I have seen as a physician my work in my patient population and we have teamed up with a great guy Stephen Roselle started this company called member box because he realized that we can deliver health to your house and that's our goal and so we are launching the KB MD health member box what that means is that when you sign up for this you will be able to get physician vetted products delivered to your home at a huge cost savings so I teaming up with member box were able to purchase these things in massive bulk or they are and then you can cultivate the box with the first month is really the month that I'm going to be my boxes to be the the I guess will be the mid-June box stripped and so in this box arrives at your house your health has arrived there what it does arrive make sure that you reuse recycle share very excited because one thing we did was we told everybody to this were to be launching this and a lot of people signed up which is awesome but a lot of you also asked what could be in the first month your fire to have everything so let's talk about right the first month now that being said something we've not been able to talk about in the other emails we sent out right that first month is going to be what I have seen work but a patient yesterday was asking me will you know I take this supplement for my eye health is there anything to be there for Isaac is that something I would like absolutely great question because what you be able to do once you become a member of this very exclusive community you can go on and there's gonna be a store where you can build different things if you need and I think if you want this these are all going to be vetted products and what I mean by that is we know that a lot of a lot of different supplements and things like that such as supplements or some food products and really really really cool stuff through DNA analysis they show that almost well almost 80% of them do not have what they say it has in their so in this box we know that these have all been third-party tested we know that the bees are very reparable companies and I have seen them actually work on people and so that's what's really cool working to be able to deliver health to your house and you know that you're getting something that's actually real and you're getting to huge discount to win win win it is definitely a win and another added benefit that you kinda hinted and hinted about there is that when you go and you you become a member of the KPD health box you have access basically to a marketplace and for lack of a better analogy think of Cosco you don't get to see the advertised prices of Costco but you more or less pay a membership with this one is really required membership the mom that you buy you get if you want to pause your your receiving stuff you just posit however as long as you are a member the KPD health box you can look at the marketplace and you will have basically pricing on goods that they cannot make public and that's why you don't see Costco run ads they have agreements with their suppliers not to advertise what their low costs are same for Sam's Club this essentially is an online more or less avenue for you to not only save money but to get it delivered to your home and then you get to have a physician show your lease and health space these are the supplements that I know have science to back them you can save money on and this is how it works for you and the outcome which you touch on is also there's some things you didn't put in there that a lot of people commonly take I seen when people come through the clinic or the G.I. suite and they say love taking so-and-so and so-and-so what's it doing for me and often times I've seen you say I don't know I don't know what that's doing for you coming, hint on that what's not here yet so this in the first month there's a few things that I don't see really good success with I don't see really good success with your run-of-the-mill probiotics for instant night everyone comes in my clinic is Artie been on five or six different ones and there's some science to show why traditional probiotics over a long-term have not been much more beneficial than than a placebo and a lot of evidence points to the fact that most of those probiotics get destroyed through the stomach acid into the bio and pancreatic issues next week were having a microbiologist to talk about this and probably sounds that sort of work and we hit it that I do see a lot of people that take unnecessary vitamins when I checked her blood recheck micronutrients it's all there not not really something that I would put a whole lot of people on because traditionally the diet a lot of people are taking poorly absorbed ingredients so there, wasting the money my big thing for this is to talk about the science talk about things that have been shown to benefit people get it for a savings and more importantly really get my patients not waste money I mean we talked in the last half-hour about how love the life pack and how I try to get into these different things sure one of those things is really trying that a lot of the different products that I take and see the benefit that I can get from them so that's why we chose in the first month and I will say this that to put it in perspective complete cost analysis on this box and I want to go through all these products and why your digit over $250 worth of product for the membership fee of $147 right so it's already $100 savings that you did anyplace else you can go to Amazon and build the spot you can't go to Cosco and find the six right is a very unique vetted products that are going to make a difference is a big point so when that let's say that you do go to Amazon or that you do go to Cosco you do go to any other traditional retailer that they were all familiar with generally what you see on the endcap which is the other the end there or what you see on the on them on the most visible shelves always but generally what that is it's not about them being the best product it's about them having the most marketing dollars is about them having the best placement in this particular scenario utilizing KB in the health box the physician has gone through and said this is irreparable manufacture and the declarations over the application of this supplement has a real benefit and you was really exciting this marketplace over talk about it's only going to keep growing yeah it's all you keep growing with reputable things I pay certain registration fees so that I can have access to different certificates of analysis like consumer labs is one of them picture I just read a recent one with a look that melatonin melatonin's and almost all of them had varying amounts when I talk to patients just every thought about the first half-hour or tried CBD didn't work 00 I tried melatonin didn't work so I tried this it didn't work it's both probably because what was on the label was 1/10 of what was on the label or vice versa or there's a whole of things we did also talk about that in the certain categories an article just came out warning parents do not purchase items for their teens associated with sports performance weight loss or energy because Racine team death now from supplements and when they analyze it it's because there's a lot of weird stuff in there it didn't and that's that's what this that's one of the many purposes this serves and that is basically to help the end user get real products with a real purpose with the real savings and quite honestly one of the biggest complaints or the worries that we have in the patient's come through the G.I. suite is well I've already spent this money on this and now I added this is this when working is this a good mix the cool thing is is what were putting in here can be taken together and it relieves anxiety so just think I'm not only saving money I'm saving time and I'm saving a trip to the store I'm not having to go in piecemeal all of this together I know that the physician has gone through and see Miss you already trust him with a I with a prescription we trust him with the regimen that you leave the clinic with now you get it with a with a consumer supplement level purchase well yeah so it is it's it's can be a physician this is what I would tell my patients to go drive someplace and purchase it what we do is taking the convenience out of that and so this is not good it's not prescriptions noted on his Christian all its over-the-counter things that I have seen that help me right I have seen it work on my patients and we know that it's it's a recommendation and if it doesn't fit you like man I like four of these items keep those for next month you want that I product yet that I product you you want something else you want to go beyond that and getting to skincare and beauty lots of stuff like that you want to get the advice of a holistic plastic surgeons products that are available there you can do that a lot some books to get there so if if you happen to be someone who says you I like God the way that Dr. Brown suggested this this and this but I actually want this other thing that someone else has in the marketplace you can do that there's nothing wrong and you could still treated like a store it's essentially store that has Dr. Brown's recommendations available and you get to see it but every single thing that's in there comes with the savings in the cool thing is is beyond health etc. the idea of the platform is to move this over to also everyday consumables you'll be able to still be eventually they'll be electronics and other things in there that if you were to spend 100 you probably spent 60 yeah and if you when you go to the landing page you can see that the copy there that what we wrote it was pointed out to me that innards 100% true to what were talking about we talk about Dr. Anthony you write up in Michigan who's on Dr. Oz all the time there's other influencers functional medicine doctors traditional doctors that are all part of this member box community that we have were sharing ideas right so when were looking at this I can go you know Tony has your has your group is your tribe have they done well with with this line of skincare products what is your best years I wanted to feature next month or let's go ahead and do this because we get a lot of feedback on skincare and Katrina tell me about your organic primal dental stuff let's start integrating some of that it's going to be so exciting so were curating boxes but were also sharing information and sharing experience that's what's so cool about this so you can go to KB MD box.com just for a direct link if you'd like to sign up and K BMD box.com going check it out if you'd like to to explore a bit more course you have any questions go to go check go to a gut check project.com and hit contact and there you can there's also a drop-down menu for you to say hey look I got questions about the yeah the KPD health box let's go hadn't mentioned this also that there is this it's limited right now because all you did is this the first boxer starting out there is going to be limited quantities of you would have limited quantities of trying to heal because a lot of the other people that have boxes try to use us so we will make sure there but has the first option in those other first and I can only imagine that like all things member boxes going out on a pretty big limb set up a huge platform worked really hard we work very hard to work with anybody else to talk to people and the getting in on the ground floor is the key to this day because I can imagine that as the marketplace grows and becomes more successful prices are still continued to go up so well and and dad to add to that so roughly 70 something percent of Americans adult Americans take supplements on the regular if they happen to I have any association with AIG I disorder are they going to visit a gas garage that number is now over 85% so chances are if you hearing this message and you're an adult you probably take supplements if you've always wondered hey in terms of my my health and my taking the right things it's worth your time to check it out because I think that the KB MD health box will deftly save you money save you anxiety and time and I will be delivered right strictly door so what's in the first month so this is essentially my box this is what I would say okay for the first month since you have to sign up to get the box 1st right I know that were to be sending big bang for your buck that's the case we want to find things that are to augment each other we can have a big value to this and some pretty interesting novel things that I've had great feedback from the other doctors and influencers and from patients so two things that I have not tried but heard great feedback from this is exciting is why we do this because were to be able to say this and put this out there oh Doc this worked out really well we can do feedback afterwards hey tell me what what you want this next month with a can of tuna sleep boxing note does does our community want this money go scour to meet with sleep doctors were going to talk real fine natural path through our good sleep okay let's find out what works then we go we came up with member box we find the ingredients that we want we we do the research and we work a deal out just like to do with Cosco so they can be in the marketplace so that I can then put it in the box so next month we go to sleep box for all we know nobody's ever really looked at because okay for instance I'm still practicing after all July I'm grinding stuff out I see things that are not being published because I don't have the time to publish I'm sitting here making new bicep curls Thursday morning instead so there is a great example when we go to these meetings and we meet with people in fact the first combination when Bridget Danner who has her own box said hey you need to meet get on Chris nurse and Kristin the medical director four mega spore biotic because I'm killing it with with your product trying to let megastore so that is good we are microbiologist organ have all next week but that is a great example of influencers connecting other influencers and this web grows so if there are people out there who know certain things like while my Dr. functional traditional whatever has me on this and it's working really well will look into it now you start seeing something really cool developing if we can expand this which is what I want do you have to do I want to do that functional armor research right now we've got we can send out questionnaires and say did this work to this company short for instance this got box this is primarily a got box I'm a gastroenterologist but it extends beyond that so let's look when you when you get this and you open it up and you looking to see what's to see what's inside what do you find the first ingredient John Dale my baby wiser than that will because we know it works we know that over 88% of the people that have bloating get better but I also know that after we've had the sound of the market for a few years were still seeing that kind of success right and the polyphenols and it are really important we haven't got your science article yet which actually explains more but until the polyphenols for everyday use essentially those are the molecules in the Mediterranean diet to make a very healthy and because we been able to work out a really good deal from a business model we realize it okay we can get this on the marketplace that's the cool things which can be available to all the other influencers also when I super excited so I'll try until if you're part of the community you probably already understand what I'm trying to lose if not go to love my Tommy.com/spoony putting Coates Mooney for discount learn more about it so watch until now the other thing Virga says before I'm not that big of a fan of traditional probiotics right because if you look at the animal data it even quickly the Godfather probiotics he is a gastroenterologist currently in Houston right yeah but it but he's been around do different places a emeritus professor out of Ireland he's been studying probiotics for the last 40 years were the first guys talk about I saw him at our annual meeting bumped into him and what hey email I got to go on this I have to go to podcast there was one of the dresser will one of a greenfield IQ on the sale of talking about probiotics can give me anything new and he summed it up because there were amazing in a petri dish just can't reproduce it consistently in humans there's a million reasons why because it's more complex sure but after teaming up and speaking with get on I realized oh my gosh this is why some people are doing great taking a different type of probiotic called mega spore mega spore biotic is actually soil-based spore form well bacteria but there is portable right key to this is these guys when they come into the digestive system they survived the stomach they survived the small bowel when they get further into the small bowel they do what he described as a handshake and it starts waking up a little bit by the time it gets to the ileum which is where you have a lot of your immune system right for goes into the colon that handshake allows it to give antigens meaning it takes the outside environment and exposes the body so that it increases its immune system so that it's always prepared to fight the outside world these poor based biotics have been around their soil-based they've been around forever we have made our world to clean so we have produced an immune system that's not used to seeing certain bacteria we are not getting healthier as a country were getting sicker I think one of the reasons is because not enough dirt yeah and one way to do that is to have concentrated spores that as it turns out when it gets to the: then they wake up they send signals to other good bacteria to start reproducing more they send signals to bad bacteria and it gets those bacteria to like the real impact on me and then they love polyphenols so when they wake up the polyphenols are our fuel to them so that's why I tried to oppose Meg's probiotic work so well together because they just augment each other mother nature polyphenols can do any better than that mother nature has a type of bacteria that can make make it to where they should so the science behind it is actually awesome so those two are Key ingredients if you look up the price of those gorgeous in the arty saving money guard said Monday the third ingredient I chose life extension digestive enzymes write and the reason for that is that the digestive enzymes we got some data to suggest that it actually works really well with the type of polyphenols that are in the pro-anthocyanins that are in trying to heal and it has been shown to actually help augment some nutritional absorption so we want to make sure that you get the biggest bang the reason why I'm doing that is because I see so many patients it when I add digestive enzymes that actually improve the third ingredient is really cool worth fourth don't forget fourth is almost organic tumor and the thing I love about this one is somebody out there Gallardo take tumor so the problem with America is that the quality varies a ton and the absorption birds so this particular one is a blend of turmeric plus bio pairing which is black pepper helps absorb and it has ammo which does blood glucose control Ryan Ginger forgot health it improves gut motility so those those four things synergistically to get together but it also decreases neuro- information because of the turmeric then the fifth Ingrid Brown five right I think so okay so the fifth ingredient is Vermont Village Vermont village Apple cider vinegar shots right so a lot of people about apple cider vinegar it's been shown to help with weight loss it's been shown to help with some digestive health and a few other things so many people take it but what's unique about this one is its organic and that you made it taste good and so were to throw some apple cider vinegar shots in there to see what happens and then these six ingredient is one that I've not taken but I've had incredible feedback on this and this is really exciting it's called truancy to your US II this is a huge value actually tried it is actually really really go you yeah oh yeah we did so this is a huge value add this is actually micronized hydrogen plus magnesium York like about titers and what's that will let's nanoparticles of hydrogen so why is it in their mood seems kind of bogus because it seems where they are really cool website it's about the science but I find a bunch more science buried in the literature where micronized hydrogen helps cellular oxidation decreased cellular inflammatory process and they've actually got data to show that they can help with wound healing and it's been used in like burn units and things like that it is awesome you can absorb it through IV through drinking it in the final seventh item and there is a special gift from me to my community and I'm really excited about that not to be a surprise so you can see that the first round what I want everybody to do is get this the kicker is as 100% moneyback guarantee so if it doesn't work for you Southaven real gamble strand outside will gamble tried out but I

box I would like to file Jenny's waves and well now really get into the science is the first time we were busted to the head to the last half hour drive-through experience wasn't wasn't good enough for unlike thinking about his hair. His eye as a kind of don't want to bring it up anymore so you know one of the things we do over years were number one we look at medical literature we we talk about all that there is also something that a lot of times people to completely forget about that as we learn more like it's always done medicine is not static it's now always fluid now and just because something is been done the generation before it is nestling in the we need to continue doing correct and that's one of the things about the way that we prescribe drugs the way that we have a lack of using mother nature to help us out right now in traditional medicine so this whole evolution of the functional side coming up in traditional side trying to look at itself a really cool article just came out and it actually looked it was a meta-research a comprehensive review of randomized clinical trials and three medical journals and they looked at medical reversals and what that means is do you remember when estrogen first came out and Evers was built us a drink is a prevented heart attacks and that after sure 15 years or so are bad it actually increases heart attack rate and actually stroke yes one would not put everybody on it right there is a whole dimmer what podcasts it is all fine it there's a whole podcast on it's one of the really big podcast but they looked at medical reversals and economics and I was genomics was on Freakonomics a couple years ago with a look at medical reversals and you start looking at the data the data comes out you get training you like statins great everybody to be honest I have start look about you like I was saving lives here and so to this day if you walk into a cardiologist office and they have their data to show it one of the guys came on said I get that the data lowers cholesterol but we know that to what extent so that what expense are we actually extending is the health span increasing is a lifespan increasing start looking these different things so and the answer still out there I guess sure does I'm articles like this basically it's this here's what they took a look at they did a systematic search of randomized controlled trials in the Journal of the American medical Association the Lancet in the New England Journal of Medicine they identify 396 medical reversals spanning different medical disciplines types of interventions and populations so it is the D adoption of these and other low value medical practices that will lead to overall beneficial cost savings and beneficial health savings and increased lifespan okay so it's interesting that so much evidence comes out then we do something and then when you look back and go wait a minute did that really look at this so this particular article looked at things that they concluded is a randomized trial was very beneficial but then later became reversed like a estrogen thing like that I would bring that up because it's important to know that when we start getting into new fields that things are going to change is really a moving target and all this other stuff so that leads into this topic that when it were reversing traditional randomized placebo-controlled trials since whatever he says right you will meeting oh you don't show me show me the data the I know on the other side the debt is being paid for by somebody right you keep that in mind so kudos to the University of Chicago that just put out a new study which ties in everything that were talking about On so when we had Cooper read on we were talking about suicide in so they just put out the study from a first ever placebo-controlled LSD micro dosing out of the University of Chicago oh while interesting so anecdotally Silicon Valley entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley very very successful people have for years discussed the micro dosing ability of LSD okay and higher dosing of LSD is actually currently being studied for looking at helping with PTSD helping with severe depression so these guys want to know hey what is micro dosing and can we actually doesn't actually do anything so they took a group of 20 volunteers and for once a week for four weeks they gave them 6.5 µg 13 µg or 26 µg atypical dose to get high is 100 to 200 µg so this is significantly less than what that high would be significantly less okay and then they they looked at behavior trends they found they look the behavior trends cognition negative thoughts and a bunch of other parameters all surrounding this and the most important thing that they want to find out is do you get do you hi did you expense any hallucinogen hallucinogen is hallucinogen hallucinations hallucinations word hallucinogenic with some time so they're looking at that and what they found is that surprisingly those that took 26 µg felt a little something okay so but it's a very small group don't really know and what they curiously what they did shows no change in mood no change in cognition and no real change in academic performance the flaw to the study and they openly admit it because this is just dipping their toe in the water right they want to jump in and be shut off the Germans University Chicago bold of them to do this when they talk micro dosing in Silicon Valley it's done every day yeah and they actually discuss that these receptors and things have to be tuned up for so doing it once a week probably doesn't do a whole lot for cognition and energy and also think sure but doing it every day and getting those channels to open up yeah that's what people talk about they say that your your mind opens up to different things you're able to accept new ideas in a much different level and things so their next level study they said you know admittedly we really need to start stepping it up to see if it's to three times a week if it's whatever but it's just exciting to see that were now starting to do clinical trials on these nonpharmaceutical type things what's really interesting that they would so it added 20 subset I don't remember if you said this but none of the necessary were suffering from depression no correct they didn't get into that all know they were just bringing people and most of that is one to see the face yeah are you getting high okay, what are you getting high now is to be a dangerous thing to bring into society don't you think that the probably this this this study really is probably the tip of the iceberg they know that they want to map out the frequency like you were just referencing and move further along my phone cut out here anyway they want to do the increase the frequency to see if that changes anything and then start adding in comorbidities to find out what the yeah well I mean it's it's fascinating because this is you can't really do an animal study go you know hey are you feeling are you feeling are you seeing hallucinations were desired but in all pharmaceutical studies it starts out with animal the yet to determine a toxic level on that thing and then you move from there and then you go to the pharmacokinetics of it so that's the phase 1 then the phase 1B than the 203 than the four that finally gets to market or somewhere between three and four little Alexa go to market to consider this more like the phase 2 portion of the clinical trial we've determined that talk into enough Silicon Valley animals which is like a guest with Erica looking at that enough people have been doing it and been doing it consistently that it's probably safe at this level so now it started in a controlled environment they watch them the whole time so there there would keep an eye on it was like they gave it to him and said no go out shopping to you you haven't here is Amazon cohort so what there'd now have to determine is okay we know that it's probably not hurting anybody how do we continue the momentum not turn it into a drug so that it's unavailable to everybody to a large segment of the population and it is just tip of the iceberg and seeing where it's going so by the decriminalization of psilocybin in Colorado and studies like this I really think that there's going to be a whole future which is good to be beneficial for anybody that suffers from depression evidence of receptor all the research is going into anxiety depression things like that I think it's can be fascinating to see how micro dosing of psilocybin or macro dosing of suicide and micro-dosing as well as the macro dosing because studies are going on now remember were not we had our conversation with Dennis McKenna for of the heftier Institute and course he and his brother Terrence were the ones who really cannot pave the way for educating people on silicide and mushrooms how to cultivate and had to responsibly apply them to different things he joined with Dr. off the Art or Arthur Hester the half-truths to think it's in leave it send out Idaho but they conduct the studies on psilocybin in I remember him saying that psilocybin and LSD have very similar outcomes however the they believe that chronic exposure to LST might be damaging to the heart or something like that were still sobbing he isn't I don't remember and I could be be mixing channels there but I'm pretty sure that that's that's at least what he felt like long term however he still said that there was benefit it while describing what people have gone through to do that and you say that they want to make sure they don't over prescribe her overuse so that is not barred from use I find that crazy and you're exactly right but that's the approach unfortunately of the of the government arm of the FDA to do that because you can find tons of opioids that will kill we in a day that's that is 100% my point that that's why I said looking for look at this were to submit three journals Janet randomized trials and they found 396 reversals like oops we are wrong right sorry hello lot we know that if the traditional FDA route is doing this where we can end up reversing it than there should be more liberties in looking at these other alternative treatments even if it's not perfect we may end up reversing that LSD may end up causing some heart conditions that the Hector Institute has uncovered first who knows but knowing that traditional research is not flawless is the key here on my point with with the heftier Institute is its responsible research is meaningful so if they're able to uncover that and then you have people who are really trying to experiments that they do better wouldn't it be more beneficial that the research is allowed to be conducted and to be paired with the appropriate people so that they can make their own educated choice on the Avenue they would like to to use to get better and it's it's people like Dennis add that the end and now the University of Chicago they're able to put some lags behind that so that's not such a mystery doesn't make it doesn't make sense to keep keeping a cover what's passing because we were I keep saying it's fascinating I just realize that's my repetitive word when I actually am kind of excited about medical literature today so there's so many things are going on so when we were at IFN I met the CEO of Arcturus all oh yeah okay so what this is I was walking by the booth and they had a booth that was just very scientific and start talking to the guy. This particular product which works on the endothelial Gleick okay licks meaning the lining of all your arteries and lines is little small Geico calyx in the lining of pretty much the intestinal lining as well that they have been doing research for over 20 years to figure out how to smooth out the glycol calyx which is what allows the artery to be elastic okay and not stiff the Lord's blood pressure and if it's smooth nothing sticks so they've got data animal and human data to show that when your Geico calyx is smooth the cholesterol looked around that were all trying to get down by given drugs and statins and all these things sure just keeps on going dry cholesterol then gets used to make your steroid hormones to make building blocks that can affect when the like of calyx gets stiff and it actually has little bit of damage in it so it's no longer smooth road Potholes I will then that high cholesterol sticks and that's how you start forming plaques I was like whoa how do I not know about this in the data he showed me was pretty cool they've got electron microscopy looking on it they've got these animal models I met with her PhD that was there that I found out why it was initially going to be a drug yeah and that's part of the problem is when you feel like you discovered something it's it's my my my my mind because I have to get this I've Artie spent $20 million to this point I've got a recoupment I can't have somebody come in and out of the drug companies do coming and they do a slight knock off in a ring when you start looking at the different PPIs that come out wondering we were talking to Daniel from Arizona president Dr. Richard S Rogers she said I see the progression of when Tagamet came out in the Zantac came out in the accident came out and I was like why do we need another one of the same need to write oh because they darted on the math on that they realize that you get a little tiny chunk of it all that the dues make a deal with a couple insurance companies and get paid for that's really what that's really what any drug has to do but eventually it just becomes a race that's why cost so much money would it first comes out in the got seven years to recoup it never goes generic he walks away from insurance companies instructor Hance so here's a great example of they been working on something for 20 years that could be a big game changer who knows about a case, start taking lymphoma blood sugar before my blood pressure must see if I can find any trends sure does like all things I will try first anything that I do know going to recommend to somebody to do all of bile hacks and everything like you have somebody else tried them and I want to try person to happen so we'll see what happens with the start with this arterial soul but there's a great example oh the reason why they can go the drug run leaving something out is that they couldn't the patent would be too easy to be compromised oh really so they get that far into it and they realize only anybody any drug company can just coming to take it just command will be to really yeah so then so that it becomes a battle of yields be squashed by bigger player yeah and that's it just so unfortunate and in and not to just sit here and just bash companies that make devices and in drugs not all of them are bad and not all of the scientists there are not don't have altruistic ideas but the the overall machine is kind of unstoppable right now well it really is when we talk about the healthcare industry is somewhat dependent on itself and its dependent on chronic illness illness yes depend on chronic illness I would love to see RK BMD health box change the health landscape of primarily DFW Metro I just did that will have the hat will be able to fix will be more concentrated area sure would be fascinating five years from now after people start getting diet recommendations we had chef Patrick was tell me earlier your payment when you lost that box goes let me know and I'll put in healthy recipes for free whenever you want absolutely yeah and you we have people volunteer to help out like that so imagine this box changing healthcare and doing it at a bargain price improving people's lives and were actually helping the overall cost of healthcare in an environment which you keep track of that data when the be fascinating and unfortunately the moniker of healthcare itself is has a connotation to where it's it said it's born a different term now wellness care because healthcare is often times associated well with I'm sick I now need to be repaired or I'm sick I now need to be fixed or put on a protocol etc. but really the the best the best medicine is prevention and if we were all to basically adopt the mindset of wellness wellness protection then I think that we will be will begin to see that type of evolution of populations demographics where will this was once a disease thing there but he came in foreign turns out that the trend is beginning to to go down or people show up with this disease but later I put on the spot throw out a few things that you would if you could have a community that you would get them to do for wellness prevention bonus prevention first I don't think that people are that educated and where they are consuming sugar and it's I think that if you start with that and you begin to add up those grams of daily intake of sugar and then all of the sources that your body even interprets that sugar that maybe you don't see it written out and you knew what it was doing to tax your pancreas and the rest of your body and if you have an injury what you're doing to prolong the healing time by consuming large levels of sugar that would be one thing right out but the job just understanding that that readily available Slidell simple carbohydrate is can be incredibly dangerous to you and you don't even know what you still perceive it see don't feel and unfortunately your body definitely knows it's occurring and you're feeding small little microorganisms that didn't love the fact you're taking it in and they're using your body as the vehicle to do what they want versus what you probably want so I would I want to do a couple more Stan Moore sand definitely percent too long to the show and its obtaining description you know what we should should community definitely community a sense of community is super important loneliness is been equated to smoking sidebars that's right so this really I've got the articles I need to get into art are pretty thick and pretty cool but I will actually be talking about these tonight live on Facebook see below zero SOS Summit Siebel SOS summit so if you want to do it it really did you with me and I'm sure a lot of people will be this community that Siebel SOS Summit is a great example Facebook groups like that just like you're saying when somebody keeps going to a doctor and the doctor says your fine but you don't feel fine yeah that's what's creating PTSD right you just get frustrated with that then you gravitate towards community dilute police go me too yeah and so fortunately there's these different communities that have grown I'm not that big of a fan social media but then again there's a lot of really good things to come out of it like that like support their central support groups sure for all different kinds of things across the world the hard part at social media meet everybody's connotation are not to see everybody my connotation is social media is the negative aspects often times forget that there are good things that come out of it you can connect you do you can stay informed unfortunately the moment you begin to give the limited data on what it is that you're interested in then you just get peppered attentive is that it is not is not interesting to me at all and I and and I can't I can't sit there and scroll to Instagram and just look at different photos that I don't care and all it's that's not really my thing so when you're talking like there is sugar so for tonight's and for my three hour SOS zero summit talk have to do I need to talk about stuff that the other docs haven't talked about right so our graduate secret weapon sent a bunch of really cool articles in preparation for this one of them is really interesting that I need to read about 10 more times are but it's the sulfate chronic Siebel got this biosis as a protective mechanism really yet now I do the same veil it that seems like somebody's way off she's very long yeah it's very long it's very off course but now that I'm actually really a couple times unlike in one section here it's really interesting they actually describe is the author I actually think it's a blog by Elliott Overton and I don't really know their history approach looking up at that it's very well written it's very thick very science easily seem to know the science at least maybe we'll get hold of them have them explode better this is really interesting section you're talking about sugar so sulfite is an intermediate and sulfur metabolism you can also ingest sulfides trip they are extremely toxic it can lead to significant oxidative damage so it's important that the body rapidly converts it to sulfate date and okay so the sulfite to sulfate conversion relies on an enzyme called sulfite oxidase which uses a cofactor called molybdenum don't know him mode molybdenum okay okay just to the month if this enzyme is not working properly it can lead to two problems the toxic buildup of sulfite and sulfate deficiency okay possible factors disrupting this enzyme this molybdenum deficiency is caused by Dreyfus my goodness demon of Roundup it is a potent chelator of that cofactor that is necessary so glyphosate substitution for glycine it it is mistaken for Glisan you we been saying all along that this is an inert notices the the whole thing of Roundup this is a reason that I've never ever thought of so the Sue ox enzyme contains critical glycine residues which could theoretically be replaced by Dreyfus it's just so disappointing because now you know it many have associated the glass for safe around up with Monsanto make no mistake a large scale pharmaceutical company Bayer owns Monsanto now so these are the same people that are purportedly doing these health research clinical trials submitting drugs creating medical devices getting them through getting first-hand approval and then being suggested by physicians and these are the same people that still now and under the guise of her going to help out our food supply etc. so that we can produce X, Y, and Z they're just moving product so this could be an example of what you are talking about medical reversals earlier and is using life as a just medical reversal of the differences that it's not a cohort of people it is the population were being asked to so this article continues to on member how everybody I mean I'm busy every guest are all just I know is busy people are getting sicker and they are not worth seeing it's like the same thing are we now seeing gluten intolerance are we just looking for a renouncing SEBO are we just looking for watch this this author goes on to describe a deficiency in sulfite oxidase caused by life of Satan would encourage the growth of microbes that are able to reduce highly toxic sulfite to less toxic hydrogen sulfide we know there's two types of Seabrook methane predominant hydrogen type right now so the theory the reason why the article starts here is this a chronic adaption in other words being bloated and sick with bacterial overgrowth is still better than being toxic from sulfite while so the article that I will not be able to get to that is deep and really cool so this one maybe you know things that make you go then the article want to get into is the Pro anthocyanin the Pro at the sign addends containing polyphenol extracts prevent the inhibitory effect of hydrogen sulfide on human Kalon a site oxygen consumption in other words why do people feel better so we know people ask us about the biofilm and bacteria yeah we realize that the tannins in here actually combust the biofilm also yeah mother nature now it looks like in this particular experiment these guys always give you the quick rundown of what they showed is that when they took human colonic tissue and the exposure to hydrogen sulfide which now we can say is a reaction to the diet that you're eating right hydrogen sulfide lead to inflammation because the enzyme to convert it to get rid of the hydrogen sulfide that can be overwhelmed and then it leads to oxygen depletion in the cells of the colon which then lead to oxidative stress yeah which then leads to leaky gut will is really cool they took the colonic tissue and they soaked it in hydrogen sulfide another trick that same tissue and they did the same thing but they used great Apple and Member one other Vino polyphenol in separate matches and as it turned out it neutralize the hydrogen sulfide while protected the cell actually encourage the enzyme to make it neutral so there's a lot more science into it but you could see if you're eating at a traditional process diet your body you may end up developing irritable bowel is a protective mechanism from the other crap that may happen and so if you're going through this whole process mother nature your veggies that kind of thing get your get your polyphenols and has a way of correcting it all so man what a crazy show today so we promised we would have tips here the tips come with the routine that start at number one number two get enough sleep number three try to eat organic all that you can avoid the life estate before trying to really educate yourself on the shortage taken in and number five
