were here with your host Ken Brown MD I'm Eric Rager this is where you check your ego at the door because nothing got the table Doug can you do it for the person or the few times it is my title there MD so I'm here with my co-third-grader cRNA like that mix it up as you can tell I will do it different almost every single will episode 14 at what we are on episode number 14 that is correct so today we got a really cool desk alone and I'm super excited about this sort of things that you what I have done we get a lot of feedback from people that are been writing in is that we bring just on that were try to learn some stuff from correct and I think that almost everything will episode I become more knowledgeable it is expanded my mind I think today is exactly where we need to be because we have somebody who's a great storyteller that's got some incredible experiences just throws himself out there that's kind of a sort of how work, doing everything right now and if you're new to the gut check project I think it would you find that what can I both want to do out of the guest is find a little bit about their journey that took them to where they are now because life is a journey to find that you you're going to be satisfied once you know more about yourself and how you know what you want until you have exploded morality so exactly so work we have Cooper read on the show today and he is somebody who is really it's a lightning she actually inspires me and other people around him and he just jumps and of to explore different areas different ways of health and easily get into a lot of different stuff but if you're somebody who's kind of stuck in a rut right now this is your show converted to cover novel French stuff that I think is actually something that can change both health and mind yeah absolutely happy at think that Cooper has a great story of just being dissatisfied is where he found himself and decided to do something about it so allowable I'm not going to ruin his story that will get to that whenever he joins us here about just so happens that is doing something about it in a field that I have tremendous interest in and medicine is going that way and I think that we will all be talking about this five years from now as how really to improve mental health without question without question real quick of course if you also knew to get project and even if you aren't should always go to love my tummy.com/spoony where on the spoony network so/Bernie will give you are trying to heal outrun teal at a discount that you won't find hardly anywhere else so what is that all 20 oh that makes it so unique to Brown so this is kind of exciting this is my baby right here in a little shout out to Siobhan Sarna who is the head of the IBS SEBO SOS summit because probably much to her relief I finally got done filming my webinar for the experts on that is so nice and we got a chance to one of the reasons why I was looking at the other of future lectures and she's like you're the last one to do this of Mark Pimentel the psyche shroud it is we've got to know Tom Osborne that that is all these other people and Allison C Becker she's like you're holding up the whole show they yell for those who are into keeping the health and follow us and get the emails that we get every week that we send out just be sure and tune in because what Dr. Brown is referencing is see below SOS some and if you've ever been interested in why certain people suffer from G.I. distress and they can't quite find the answers that's kinda what this whole summit is about not everything is going to apply to everyone but there may be something in there for everybody who tunes in supercool about this particular summit and what Siobhan is put together is that you have people that have had different experiences doing different things right and my experience was in trying to find a natural solution for people with reputable bowel syndrome bloating change in bowel habits and that's how we discovered trying to with two trials which have been published and we been out now for about three years and the reality is worse in the same clinical results that we did in those trials which is 4 to 5 people to get better if you have the classic symptoms of when you meet you blokes now the other cool thing since we launched is that we have since learned through other scientists contacting us that the polyphenols in front your action extremely beneficial for you they work on an antiaging level there's data to show that you are living goes up which helps get rid of old and aging cells this data to show that you increase nitric oxide to the muscles so if you're an athlete so it's really exciting I started this journey to try and help people that were bloated that have bacterial overgrowth and we just keep expanding and knocking down your doors and that's what's so exciting about this I'll try to love my tummy.com/spoony putting code spooning SP 00 and why and you can also experience the so this is my baby show little support at least cash in one coupon that's that's your mission I want everyone to commit to cash in one coupon so that I know that people are at least realizing the importance of both gut health and overall health threat on the battery cell five for a friend or family member that may separate from my G.I. issues so I of course got check project like and share like and share like and share thank you for all of the new subscriptions we reached out to our KB MD health community for the first time this last week to introduce to them the contest where we are giving away to at least five winners the signature protection package of arch on tail whether it be with community CBD natural flavor or sentiment and keep those submissions coming get a friend get a family member to do the same for you like and subscribe to get to project either on YouTube or on iTunes choose an email through going to KB MD.com Sino community health.com and you click on contact sheet is an email it's easy that's all you have to do sign up and then in July we will be drawing at least five winners so the public to be more solid and make you kick the science this time why do you call that the signature package what do those two things blend so well together CBD and affronted absolutely no great thing that you're doing with CVD is that everything that you put behind this and this and I'm in if you're listening through the audio only I picked up both the CBD and the John Teal you have real cases that have come through the clinic and was shown improvement so using this combination is what you found to be the most predictable I guess solution for people who had some type of inflammatory issue and I won't go through all the different disease states but essentially combining the CBD with our Tron tale is the polyphenols and allow the CBD to even work better how does a Duke well there's a little enzyme in there that Decker dates are endogenous CBR cannabinoids like Ananda might for instance name FAH and good polyphenol intake actually prevents FAH from becoming overactive in eliminating the CBD from working were supposed to work exactly and so you're taking a science today but that's on, called the signature package they each make each other better and that's how come we teamed up to have the KB MD health CBD powered by Alexa absolutely so likes it like a chair guy got check project thank you for all the new subscriptions as last week that is that is amazing they tell us it would take at least 20 shows and were doing about episode 14 so we certainly appreciate it so now in a move into Dr. Brown what you have on the news topic for today well so on this topic first of all you couple quick shout out side I am horrible with time zones and we were going to have a fantastic Dr. Dr. Gabrielle Lyons she's a medical doctor in Manhattan she is a fitness expert muscle centric protein expert she did her graduate studies looking at protein she was in a call in and where to talk about peptides because that's my article to talk about little bit later peptides and unfortunately she text eventually gritty role in like oh time zone difference forgot about that and so she is a doctor so we couldn't get her to the work you have her own prolonged show trip organizer bring her here or would you be able to do it she's I think due to have a baby pretty soon so I don't want to have a new mom flying around like that which probably zoom her and but she's super smart and the reason why bring up is because we had one of our listeners asked something and this is right in Dr. Lyons were real house I was a said Trisha's email Tricia called in and said hey can you recommend a Kazen free protein powder now coming up soon in a week or two were to have another fitness expert named Max Fairchild she is super smart peptide expert he formulates nutritional products he's really the one answer that question Chris were to get that to you right away I can look it up but honestly go with the people that have already done the homework they've Artie tested it is the people that have looked at all the formulations were to find the best one for you so keep those questions, and it absolutely and did you have anything to add to video shot you on awesome podcast that just aired early this week I was I was on the intermittent fasting podcast with Melanie Avalon and Jim Stevens I think this is the second or third time a bit on their going on the dance anytime I think yes and yet the second time it's great we talk about fasting the lot more than fast we talked about fasting the medic diets we talk about all kinds of different things and I thought it was a great show and shout out to Melanie she's got a new podcast and I would be going on that on the well go one of the 24th I don't know when should you publish it but she's got so she has a hold of the podcast but that was really cool check it out intermittent fasting podcast and you can hear that episode and we talk a little bit more than just fasting it's those are two really smart people very very fun people talked about that's awesome I did want to bring something up to you I was reading a blog article from Chris Kuester here recently in a reminded me somebody member a little over a year ago there was this new message was being pushed out talking about sitting is the new smoking that's right so never talk about a sedentary lifestyle will if you remember it wasn't that long ago did tell you and I, laugh there's a lot of truth behind what you eat oftentimes you can't necessarily out exercise and what was that someone said you can't outrun the fork you can't outrun the fort that was it that's a shout out to somebody that we do have have in the show at some sometime the name Todd Smith is a bodybuilder trainer out of Omaha Nebraska he'll supplement stores and I heard him say that once like I am still sure what is is a lot of truth to that you know if you want to be healthy a lot of it comes to aware which of your food fuel source is is it healthy for you and what is that translate to so what Kuester was able to illustrate quite well is that if you're sitting for long periods of time throughout the day he can't really out exercise the damage that you're doing by sitting for this law say that again so so and this came in a blog from Chris Chris are who we know well and was your oven is great guy he wrote a blog all about sitting then yes he did any reference to a handful of studies he basically put together he does a great job of always aggregating different things that he's reading pulling great information making easy prey to can I consume but essentially showed that even marathon runners when they're not actively training is another there's other issues that may be going on with marathon running of long-term inflammation exposure anyhow but that aside there actually at more risk according to some of these articles he has and therefore coronary artery disease because of the long periods of times it they're not training and that are not running the marathon site are sedentary and that actually affects their metabolic rate from sitting so then you begin to die little bit deeper looking into sitting while working if you go to in office and you don't engineer of engagement your computer and your having to type for long periods of time you're still sitting obviously you're working you're working hard but possibly examine what would it take for me to get a standing desk or something similar that would give you some variability in fact Robert Hendrickson has a a new a new product that easily come out with rover that we had on from full bucket health that's right after the show he was sure the silver color prototype to have some sort of portable version of that so that you can get away from just sitting all the time you admits it's brilliant anyway it solves a lot of problems of course it gives you a portable office that you want to go but at the same time you now have the availability to not be confined to sitting while taking care of work will essentially what Christer pointed out is sitting for 11 to 13 hours a day and many people may say when I don't do that I get more than that and you may think that but you drive to work and then you put in 6 to 8 hours of sitting you wake up you set out have a cup of coffee and follow up on whatever it is you do you come home drive to work you may work out but that is a matter because they can sit down to eat when you sit frequently and then you sit down to attitude to maybe watch program at home before you go to bed that amount of sedentary non-movement over time as an aggregate the you simply can't out out exercise according to the studies well it's interesting because if you sit for more than six hours it's been shown that your lipoprotein lipase actually goes down and that's what burns fat you can actually have a decrease in your bone mineral density leading to osteoporosis and then ultimately increased coronary events due to high blood pressure and coronary artery disease than when you stop and think about it sitting is not very good. And if you look at how we evolved we really didn't do a whole lot acidic we were always on the move around so let's come up with some ideas right now we want everybody to at least try for the next week to sit there and do the so when you're put a timer on your desk chair or timer on your desk I think about it you can elevate your desk a little bit that there's all kinds of different options out there for you to do it what if you if your teacher if your teacher and you feel like that you are engaging the students on a particular subject maybe change the scenery have a walking meeting don't take the elevator if you can take some stairs what else oh I was just thinking that the first for the whole teaching thing to remember the meeting that we are at in Utah with the bathwater, and one of the moderators before they even began made everybody stand up and shout around guess I just get energy upright just get everybody moving and then that's how she said she starts all her podcast like that she makes her guess do that just to get them up and ready which is really cool so anytime you get up and do that I think that elevating your – we walked Wenatchee had a patient from Veritas the big company that does this trip we walked around my office and looked at different ways different deaths we can do for the employees last of it with this be something you would like and they were all unanimously really interested in that unlike Robo was talking about he thought that would be really difficult the beginning but suddenly he's standing for eight hours doing all his work no big deal at all none at this temperature and it don't you find it days it weaned up having to pound away a lot of computer work compared to the days were doing a lot of scopes are you doing a lot of clinic visits I have more energy after doing all the movement throughout the day than I do when I'm what's up once a month twice a month I just have to kind of pound a lot of work on the computer those of the most draining dates to me in it and I really didn't move I just sitting there panning out on the computer and its signage oil will melt let's just throw one other thing in there so people sit that they sit all day than they come home dad and then they get on their computer the blue light now your jacket up your circadian rhythm and I mean where really try to kill ourselves and like everything that we do in life right now is basically shortening our arches our health time is really what it's doing we have this were doing those other things to try to correct it but these are all easy life hacks that we can do get out wake up one of the greatest depending what time you wake up wake up really early so the sun is out for the greatest things you can do to turn your circadian rhythm is get up go for a walk on an empty stomach with sunlight to convert the vitamin D you turn on your circadian rhythm you're telling your brain were going to do this and it does a couple quick things number one you get your body movement to get out you little sunlight and you not waking up and immediately sitting down which is what a lot of people do and you know what I'm I try to do this I wake up every morning really early and I make my coffee in the French press and I got my little routine habit or routine is pretty important if you like a lot of people like Tony Robbins of the people to say Arnold Schwarzenegger like really highly effective people they'll have a very specific morning routine chair Tim Ferris Joe Rogan all that I will sit there and start regular coffee then work on the charts I took it one step further and I got a vibration plate I tried to stand on it and I should do my truck; unpacking this setting was it turns out it's really hard to do computer work with vision vibrating (32 oscillations per second or whatever so you have noticed in those vibration plates are kinda interesting but if you lock your knees out man at that there really affects model skinny legs I just take the population straight up to my eyeballs I can't hardly see much anything that so just simple access something that will go talk about in the next half-hour is going to be a another hack I was listening to one of the greatest biomarkers of all time Ben Greenfield, he talks about migration place he talks about getting out or talks about the get some sun they were talking about peptides which is really what I wanted to have Max Fairchild on in his you come back on here in a few weeks to talk about peptides and that is another little hat these are all things you can do that aren't that not that difficult to really make a big difference in your life and offset some of the stuff so fierce that they're stuck in traffic or if your sit in your cube: every time you stand up your bosses sitdown or your student teacher says sitdown there's ways to get around it just make sure that when you have it under control you can do all kinds of stuff were going to be talking with Cooper about different ways to engage with nature also data that's another little way to get your brain stimulated to get your circadian rhythm and track and all that definitely ending of these these are things that if you're a member of KB MD health here pretty soon Dr. Brown his mood coming up of the system where we can start putting together some of these small tips that were finding out basically just amassing these studies and how you can take these into practical life managers hearing this morning I work at XYZ I understand it's tough it's up to make a change what we want to do is see if we can help people find easy modifiers to make those changes meaningful to you and a little teaser may be have it delivered straight or maybe have it delivered straight to your home is by building a news coming out about that over the weekend so if you are on KPMG health.com and they are member of KPMG health look this site no later than the Sunday maybe before but probably no later than the Senate would get a really really really cool announcement on something you been working on for well over a year well over a year with some really smart people out there shout out to Mr. Zell of course but there I want to make a difference in my community sure and I think this is a way to do it and I'm really excited to start implementing some leasing's meeting other experts do all kinds of stuff and you would be Sony and if you're not a member of KPMG health aide cost nothing you said to go to KPMG health.com Pan down on the button on the poorly designed website that basically have no about myself and about we are working to prove it we brought in and we have an intern in Internet started this week we have someone who's actually going to help us do stuff thank goodness yes thank goodness that read had to find somebody that's like half our age to do that I am super excited to have someone help us get those things done and he sees already off and running in and helping as the redesign so that will be great speaking which I need to address something you know that the processor is you write yes so several of you and by several I mean a few hundred of you have not have had issues while trying to make purchases through the website on KB MD health and it is truly no fault of ours it's two healthcare people try to run a website but the processor since we do process CBD sales all of the banks collectively have basically come up with new parameters that you have to be vetted and you have to have a right processor they're basically trying to prevent fraud so for every reputable business is about 20 they just aren't there try to weed them out so we're it it's it's inconvenient for us but were were getting through it and I've been kinda forced to handle it in the evening some phone calls from some folks so that we can do some manual transactions not a big deal though and not all bad has come out of it I've met some great people some great supporters some people just have questions knowing you like I could totally see you know it's not bad in fact I'm been invited to several weddings and onto a vacation with whatever whomever they are but I did get interesting call I guess it was three days ago from a Jonah from South Carolina and he's been watching the show because his daughter who lives in Houston found found the gut check projects weight and they been sharing it back and forth they like the episodes well he's now customer of KPD health CBD but he wanted to tell me specifically about what CBD was doing for him and on a moment to full depth on this with you but vagal mediated PVCs that was basically where he was coming from he said that his vagus nerve in his interpretation of it was that over vagal stimulation in even even in that I I'm still trying to wrap my head around it but would elicit PVCs and throw him into a fit and post and say the vagus nerve is a exquisitely complex thing that runs from the brain all the way down so were to have a vagus nerve expert what outpatients that's his work as a PhD he's working at vagus nerve stimulation and what it does and where can go so we can that's good that's a whole separate episode but I love the fact that he called and why do you think the CBD helped him I don't else really good question his his interpretation was that something with the vagus nerve whenever it wasn't performing properly he could have PVCs and throwing himself into a fit but something that he'd found out is that using high quality revocable CBD dose actually prevented him from having a fib episode taken last summer between 812 hours 28. Go in a fit anymore and he had the same experience so far with KB the CBD which I thought was great in a course is anecdotal's are not making a claim but this is what he's found utilizing that he's been in in conversation with his with his cardiologist to talk about that but all that aside I would like to dig in deep with within the course the vagus nerve is it's think that Vegas is Latin for wanderer it's a nerve it is the peer sympathetic nerve is a great regularly because all way down and regulate your gut as well and it's interesting because even in the SEBO form committees and things people really try and make some sense of it they try and figure out how to manipulate the vagus nerve words can bring one of the world's experts on church to do a deep dive real geeky scientific dive into it to make sure that your vagus nerve is hopefully the beauty of CBD it works I can adapt to gents which credit goes where you need yellow you get the faster time goes by that because that's another half hour so episode 14 will be back here after the break with Cooper read in just a moment why have thousands of aspiring authors teamed up with Christian faith publishing to publish their

than just exploding because the polyphenols if you find in Alicante what are some of things these polyphenols do affect these polyphenols can help you have more energy and polyphenols are great it sounds like it's good health: more people than just loading go to let my Tommy.com/and we are now back for the second half hour episode 14 gut check project I am now joined on my ride by Mr. Cooper read digital entrepreneur and social engineer Adaline Cooper doing very well guys I'm happy to be here so you're also a maps advocate as well as the fun I'm going to screw the name of Zenda project I volunteer correct absolutely as in the project and maps organization the multidisciplinary Association for psychedelic studies you have an advocate for that can push that but I really am a volunteer present no projects yet what is what is on the project and the project is a project it's underneath the maps organization they set up the arts in music festivals all around the world and again hold space for people that are having difficult psychedelic experiences that have story after story was the reason why want to have you on so bad is because I really do we we've actually interviewed Dennis McKenna who is a godfather in psilocybin there are in my world there are no FDA studies going on with her looking at suicide but for different things and were to jump right into your history as soon as I countertop but we always try doing the shows at least we get through one academic paper to get everybody up to speed at least on something try to teach something so there just yesterday the US news to know the report where it showed that US death rates from suicide alcohol and drug overdose is reached an all-time high so I think there is no better time for somebody like you being involved with the maps to start integrating some of the stuff because were clearly not doing a very good job were committed suicide more often were dying from opioids and all this so what I wanted to get into on the fringe a little bit is something called peptides so I am not an expert in peptides of Max Fairchild is Gabriel aligned Debbie alliances that we were talking about but so I try to teach myself a little bit about this and so I found an article on a peptide called BPC 157 soap BPC 157 is a peptide chain consisting of 15 amino acid so peptides are just very specific amino acid and Ben Granger was talking that when does a peptide become a pro to Mauritania yet and if there's there's really do know the experts on this can say well it gets really weird because growth hormone is still considered a peptide but it's really that it's a really big peptide so that it's just very specific amino acids put together so BPC 157 although it's considered synthetic it's actually a protective protein which is found in the stomach and it's known for its anti-ulcer effects of the known about that for quite a while Dr. Lyons is the one who told me to start using my guest wrote you practice I'd never even heard of it nobody ever talked about that so I'm super excited that I'm now getting into this aspect so researchers are conducted numerous rodent studies that show that it doesn't protect against of protective effects but it also seems to extend beyond the stomach and intestinal tract so BPC 157 has been shown to benefit ulcer healing the stomach intestinal damage such as fistulas and inflammatory disorders but there is some anecdotal evidence to show that bone and joint healing also takes place what I really wanted to get into is in my practice I talked about the brain got access all the time so I found an article researchers out of Croatia have done rodent studies looking at the influences on the brain got access and this actually comes from 2016 and what they did is they looked at DPC 157 and over a very long period of time they tried to show how not only is it protective in the stomach but it is very useful as a peptide in other areas of the body specifically the brain is funny because their thought on this was the first auditing to think about this when we top of the brain got access in the first one actually show that was Pavlov I have lobby and respond Escher fistula in the dog ring a bell here's it turns on the intestines that's a brain gut response yet is so we all have this and so the main thing that BPC 157 does it is a growth like peptide so it turns on genes that increase blood vessel growth and nerve growth since we were taught to draw ever is if you're like me going what BPC 157 turns on blood vessel growth and nerve growth while that's while it has wild so wild so what they did as they looked at a bunch of different well brain mood issues and I specifically looked at these animals and so how does BPC 157 help with this/want to go through in the articles really Berrigan charity coupons along so I try to go through a few things because if you suffer from any one of these but start talking some peptides okay depression they proved that BPC 157 actually acts on the dopaminergic and serotonergic systems as well as the GABA system member a few episodes back we talked about how CBD can directly bind to serotonin right much like an adaptive gent it's almost like this is adapted and also they show that in these animals they induced depression and I don't I really get into how they actually do this with the animals on and off they served with divorce papers nudging winter jobs only or that you like the big firearm then whatever it something you know I can't sit down for too long so actually induced depression measured all these different levels and they showed that serotonin and open dopamine and GABA all came back to normal levels after being injected with interesting 57 okay super well, this will alcohol withdrawal they showed that it actually counteracted acute and chronic withdrawal as well as healing the liver and the G.I. tract that is very interesting but it makes a lot of sense on why people can't escape alcoholism oh one step further opioid withdrawal allow just kept on saying you with death rates from suicides alcohol drug overdose will result in high and what you're going to talk about as some psychedelics have some great promise I'm learning about this for the first time and I'm reading this albeit animal models but it's very hard to get FDA to approve human studies we know that so there has to start with animal models sure it showed that the opioid receptors would be down regulated after getting it so that they didn't have that yearning with her like demanding the opioids that's that's actually really impressive then it gets into disease states multiple sclerosis BPC 157 effectively counteract the development of brain lesions and MS induced mice traumatic brain injury they actually stimulated nerve growth and decreased brain edema after inducing try to bring injury spinal cord injuries it improved rat tail movement after the end because a spinal cord injury so basically this is what I really consider a true life hack if it difficult this can be put over that's what I want to have his peptide experts on so I have not use the personally I've not given it to my patients yet to them just discovering this but when we start combining these different things sure it's a natural immediate well it's a synthetic amino acid sequence but these peptides the really big in the bodybuilding community the really big and antiaging community which sometimes I've always said that I felt like endurance athletes and bodybuilders know more about nutrition than any gastroenterologist they manipulate the body through sure so what we talk about here and you're going to carry the torch now because what we talked about is some pretty cool stuff like we've covered stem cells CBD photo bio modulation these are all easy to implement things that can make a huge difference in your life so I was looking at the star some Facebook groups that are that are really proponents of peptides and I will set a couple emails on that question to have no like right now whenever for Max and just for us to come to think about something that we have the answer specifically from the research that that we have I know before Shire for 157 but what makes it synthetic and is there a is there a natural counterpart that that does that and the other one would be with all of the the advances are the disease states that we talked about would benefit from what about peripheral diabetic neuropathy if you're talking about our generation and blood flow in an angiogenesis or growth of blood vessels and that's that's ultimately what ends up you got get there poor guys got diabetic neuropathy in his feet and he is sitting too close to floor heater and burns off the ends of ends of his toes he can feel it or or starts taking Lyra cover gabapentin or something and you know all those commercials yeah cause depression above the head falls off to me all those things so what makes it synthetic I did I had to look this up on examine.com it's considered a 50 amino acid sequence it's only considered synthetic because the particular sequence has not been extracted be in the exact sequence it's probably believed to be a large one that gets cleaved that works on the side of protective area of the of the stomach so it's only synthetic because they've not been able to actually extract it in the exact same sequence from a human possible that it lives somewhere even if it only for a brief period of time we do seven found in its whole form yet exactly it's like many things that you know you can either I've had this I've had this discussion with different pharmaceutical companies where when you look at that will say oh it doesn't get absorbed with the be like systemic effects in the argument from the pharmaceutical company is owner but when you take our drug you won't see this in the blood in my argument is when you eat a steak yes he stake in the blood yeah right you break down ESU and amino acid complex and that's that's that's one of the things actually happens to do pharmacokinetic studies they say oh take this is it in your blood doesn't get absorbed okay white why my feet swelling wide what are right I heard or whatever you that since the whole prodrug to active component thing you know it's basely taken in this hold this this is and what's going to the action it's when it's broken down or assembled into something else that is in the doing whatever it is yeah totally so BPC 157 were to learn more about it and when we do have a real expert on about that I'm just can eat his brain and just or her right however the expert is not only messy that's just some work I just subscribe for shares are welcome to gut check the project's mess so speaking messes I don't know while that is even a good segue really at all so I think that we should go ahead and not reconnoiter here and go read and reread and reintroduce Cooper Cooper read I like he said he is a digital and social entrepreneur now that you found use your way there in a completely different career path and where we probably may have crossed paths early before didn't but didn't really get to know each other right right absolutely no born here in Texas I was born here in Texas small town grew up in Paradise Texas tiny little you know I know there's a dot for paradise but it's out of nowhere here in North Texas and then now what where did you find yourself after you are you left. I yeah so died I felt paradise when traveling around for you know I get a plate a year of college baseball Texas Boston University in the know then I went in the Denton and got really to the arts after my baseball careers have over from there I decided I wanted to go into performing arts so went to Dallas got a degree performing arts and from there I got opportunity rip Chicago studying commie and no second city in the improv Olympic up there just to show talking about your your life is one of the comedy cards like you to say offensive stuff and just blame it on the company joined the professional comedy Association it's much easier to get into the actors Guild yeah yes I like what if about you to the cards always want to do it whenever I offend anybody absorb what you say yeah right as it I don't mean it this material anyways and from there I became a father and came back to Texas and had to get a real job and quit bartending in and doing comedy stuff on the weekends got into the surgery technology that assert became certified surgical tech and started my career in Denton and then moved to back home in Wise County Decatur Texas and wise region there specializing in euro spines in Branson orthopedics will you that orthopedic so you know he worked with one of our former guess right would that be Dr. Wade McKenna yes Ashley work in Canada several cases it had II have a very just so many fond memories working with that guy he so good so talented what he does in and then his you to ongoing research and education for himself and just what he does is just awesome I'm a big fan Dwight McCann I like to give them a shout out some point and say hello where he says hi you were actually huge fans also when it when he came on the show I thought that was one of the coolest if you have a chance look at that episode whatever number whatever number that stem cell self there is something that you did look at did you ever do it who did you assist him in any stem cells are to do only just do the open cutting stage and open cutting staff you know and then he would get in and then you'd spin the plasmon stuff in and re-administer that no one's closing was done to help with the healing and think that you know like that after he was doing that in the MLR PRP experiments to hear he had his own centrifuging at using one or two dedicated people there they were just there is basically a mini lab and rail are right in the middle of the signing Alec while we were doing the casing I would be spinning that the PRP and separating all that and then at the end of it it was a know what the assist job or whoever was helping in a close up the case they would administer that for a for you know the healing process and regeneration goes on that is really cool why Nancy was into any course she had added to awesome ortho's there have chronic and repair of the asset I spent lots of time working with Dr. Barrow he's these were my favorite surgeons is a great great position and a great guy and generally you know just anyways those guys and in his first assist is her sister Jacob has been with him many many years is one of my best friends and and I super sharp guy and also super fun and really get another college baseball player yeah yeah so it sounds you had a great environment right there did something happen what you dislike said screw this through down the live trocar or whatever it is take off and walked out or what happened so I really I wasn't I wasn't happy or fulfilled after certain amount of time you know I like I said I was in Chicago studying calmly all the stuff and then I was like okay what I get a real job raise a family do that sort of thing so Jacob Mayberry invited me Dino to his okay maybe should come check it now follow Romero and I in the case and see if you want to go get certifies of something you want to do and so I did that audited today with Barrett Ruth Rivero at Bridgeport and then from there is like a family survive and do this for a while and then you know several years ago I know that for five years and I start to just kind of check in with myself and realize that I'm not not happy now at my home life I'm looking back on now might be a little bit of depression you know I had all these great things going on had a good job is in a happy I like the people I was working with but you know there was just I was tired. He didn't have a creative outlet I didn't have that outlet now you did know if you do the performing arts than comedy you've got that brain that needs to constantly be stimulated like that right right and so when in surgery became so monotonous so robotically you know do insane things and you know I I rose up to be no really good you know in the in the spine and euro area and then and even that you know everyone like I'm helping people you know it's fine brains working on that and that's awesome that's exciting I love it but after a while I just knew that I did what I wanted like my heart was call me to like be out and about and go moving shaking and then but as my my health started deteriorating as well with liquid like to the 50 and that the depression and asked her to gain weight and really was the unhappiness with the way in all not really unhappiness with the way but just like the not being fulfilled and being unhappy plus the weight gain had every check in with myself and figure out what was going on there so start taking steps to get healthy so let's look at that what how you think that you ended up becoming unhealthy in that environment because unfortunately we see a lot of people in healthcare and I think there's a lot of reasons for the hours stress the shift work all different cards think so our healthcare providers sometimes are sacrificing themselves without even realizing it to try to help other people how do you think that process happened with you I'd I mean I agree I think that's what it was he knocked the long hours the unit with its physical work here on your feet you know 812 hours a day that's good thing though now that's a great thing to be moving but once you know that the long hours and just being of exertion with the mental exertion as well you know go and the emotional you're working with people you're trying to save lives here you know and so they take their jobs very seriously so mentally physically long hours that will sale that do you say that standing in one spot you leave your working as the technician and you often times especially in difficult case your holding a pose for a very very long time something being articulated something being cut out and you really are sacrificing a lot get you get aches pains etc. you probably absolutely accurate is this holding these Sina you want to move so understand back when I was a med student we had to do that yeah and you like a member universe aggressor redoing a gunshot wound like 2 AM in your hold his retractors and you start getting fatigue start shaken surgeon starts yelling at you like trying yeah three a little bit of sweat and I hope it's not going to fall into the sterile field you know yet is all kind of distress is that going on yet for sure but I think it's so over a long period of time I think that that that weighed a lot on me just with the stress that goes on with the environment and in that and then justly and not not being out and being active is much being indoors so it putting in those hours and you not try and hit on this in the past but what was your interpretation of maybe this is an institution of health that I'm in but make no mistake it's an institution and it absolutely needs an industry what did you think about the hospital industry where you're supposed to be delivering health and then maybe some of the execution of some of that as it is rolled out right and that's where you have met so morally I saw some things but didn't sit well with me being in that industry right. I saw that that said you have the patient the becomes accomplished someone that's there in the middle right and you have for me in a lot of cases you would have the insurance companies now and the doctors going back and forth and becomes more like an a number you know the patient becomes maybe a number of verses like eyelets really care what's going on here rather than like walking into be like okay who's is insurance what you know what the insurance here you know in and so that for me is like it was just a is one of the minor things but as one things got my attention you know that like it's it's not where the healthcare system is for me is like need to be more focused on you know the patient and patient health patient well-being rather than be no worrying about you know needed the money parts in the insurances and I know that out that all plays a very important role in it all for sure but I just cannot seem like there the patient was kinda being put to the wayside in this I now and so that was for me one of the indicators like I don't know if I'd want to stay in this enough for I make a career lie I know that the three or those that you referenced Rivero McKenna and have Blahnik they all were incredible patient advocate I will as I say so is the hard part I see nothing and struggle with it to it's like how can I deliver the service in can you know this a lot of times it's not even can I do this without insurance it's driving have a place to allow this you try to do a charity case here recently in almost got blocked when you're trying to give up your time and that kind of stuff gets in the way when you're like look I'm just trying to provide a service who needs it we get others who are able to basically start so yeah unfortunately it's super complex absolutely we have developed a system that is an organism that feeds on itself we have developed a system where will I crisscross or talk about all the time yeah we are trying to fix the end organ thing and trying to and then people have figured out how to make a profit on it right I remember listening to Peter Addie a talk one time or he's use a party thoracic surgeon I think is he really felt like he was at the bottom of the hospital and people were lobbing eggs yes try to catch the eggs like when we quit throwing the eggs out the window that and that's kinda what you're getting at where your mind I can see that you are very in tune to your feelings nature and everything and that's really cool that you took a step back and with wait a minute this is not for me write Dr. Bill to solve it so sure not to go to hospital ministration politics and arrive the eye that I was working I was editing blogs for a guy who's really in the sustainability name Rob Greenfield and when I was working with him I was like man how to weep back I would love to try to take on the medical industry and just the waste that they produce the thing I so I'd like to have the ambition again if I like how can this happen but then again you know it's such a he there so many things are going on with it but the act is something that I can't solve I took a step back and said well this I would I would love I know it's going on but I'm texted back and what's best for me and so that led to me I did take one last hurrah as a travel surgical tech when travel took some contracts the United States Tennessee, where my mind was on that oh it's not just wise Kelly not just a problem yeah yeah was there it was there a strong proverbial straw that, I was like you know what this is this the part that is nonnegotiable for me or was it just counted everything together kind of at EL it is all Elkanah came together and it was where I was in life any of these can I felt like a time to move on the I love the people I work with and and you know I was I enjoyed my time doing that but at same time as I was I was ready for more I want to be fulfilled I wanted to I need a challenge I need a challenge titled how old is your son of the sun so I have a daughter daughter she's eight right now so back didn't see you whenever I stopped all this you know she was 56 yeah yeah yeah really and so I imagine that you you left there for much more lucrative investment banking type thing yes so quite the opposite so what I did is I think a little money I did have and I purchased a school bus and herded into the camper and then spent the rest of money on Christmas gifts for the family that year in then yeah converted a school bus into a camper and went roaming around in the mountains of New Mexico and Libya Colorado and no plan really other than I wanted to get in the travel like I'm like now the time to do it I want to figure out a way to make a living no traveling so what do I do I get the school bus converted numb site I start inviting people on these adventures of the mountain second as I get a venture you know pay for gas give me a lecture and not show you great time have connections in New Mexico and Colorado and you know various other places in Texas so that was my first kind of entrepreneurial thing how people find social media yet is utilizing social media I started I became part of this group called superhero Academy I can find them superhero Kennedy.net or anywhere online and get a really good thing going on start learning about social entre nous or ship just how to utilize Facebook and Instagram and YouTube to make a living right to to purchase about their the brand yourself right so this is back in 2015 or so that I started the 2015 716 anyway so far I started that's how I started back the tyro knew like that's that's where I was posting this with my close community friends and family on Facebook and now this were my first few customers came from and went from there to a long bus or short bios have a short bus it was like when it was an old law wasn't it was a 1998 Thomas and it was more the shorter versions wasn't a long one but it was necessary like a short bus I was like one of those admitted weird big block at tween area as I get a big and blocky and now but it only had like 67,000 miles and was a diesel when I bought it from a kid that was moving down to Texas A&M and had it for his buddies to go fishing in and paid 4300 bucks for it and I was like this is a little nugget of gold right here that she sounds pretty awesome like it like your first year just ended up being like serial murderers are you by your Jason is a guy yeah my trash back to him he probably would've lightened up on my trip that we had a good time and that's what it was about that was about getting out and finding yourself in exploring and being out nature and also just the travel experience in the cognitive effects it does have on the mind and just in and just how healthy it I think it I think a lot of our health starts at are in our minor thought process in her brain so that's what I wanted to show people hate get out do what you love but also here's a healthy way to do it by getting outside and pushing yourself challenge yourself let's go skiing let's go snowboarding go kayaking you know let's go hiking up in the mountains so that's really cool that's actually the stuff you do it was a bit was like an adventure bus it was an adventure bus yeah and that's what it was absolutely Jerry problems with that that 98 diesel in the in the cold ever fired up yeah I mean to mean no serious problems there was a couple mornings are there were a couple mornings where if you select slow start but even use a fire right up and this thing was a beast it was it just ran and ran and ran and I think part of it is because it had low mileage and he was just kinda getting broken and you know like a decent run forever and ever and it is getting broken in but now it fired right up in the mountains that is the exact opposite of the job that you are doing is a surgical tech maps act opposite yeah that is a bit just real quick before we have 30 seconds to break but okay did you feel that the moment you began to engage with people on a personal level that suddenly now you're starting to feel an elevated mood versus always seen patients are asleep absolutely absolutely that was my favorite part of actually being in the surgery is like you know commuting with those patients before they were when it went under and in yes when I moved into and started talking people one on one that was where I really start to thrive wherever this Latin is half-hour ending in that joint to begin for the next hour but will be back in just a moment and that's not where his story stop seated at

do it on the right some crazy. So hey we we left off last half-hour you are talking about that the bus you have any you have any experience in the busted may be didn't go exactly as planned yeah I had a couple know the one that sticks out the most though as we are in Taos New Mexico and it had been yet sounds what now love town elements my favorite so we were but we'd been there for about a week or so was with my brother and my friend Amy Shane we were descending at time of the mountain some other friends were over in Angelfire so we like minute but then down the mountains and it is time to go home and we came in on this like really sketchy like mountain trail it wears like I was I had been there several times and came in like the normal way but for whatever reason the GPS Lake was late go this direction and I like and save you yeah and I was like okay cool working to go this way in the back way in and so naturally like when we left like there was a hit there had been snow in and you know the temperatures drop to about to zero while we are there so we're heading out like go back that direction and see what happens and it was not a good choice we got up I was going uphill on these frozen Rosie on this is Charles all dirt you know this is just rocks and dirt and I might die and you and you a sketchy going up on Mike you know what I was gonna go with it and see what happens and no okay now we start sliding me know and I can't get it under control wind up I am trying to press the brakes at one point words, this incline gives airlines on this bus it and I don't even know honestly have no idea. It really cold yet you know we are just sliding and back back back back you know we cannot almost scan were going off of the mountain side a little bit was like a steep drop off but it would been something I could not of gotten out of so I tried to like steer it back in it just as I was sliding backwards or turn the wheel I turned the wheel and got it like just perpendicular with the road and try to pull out but even even turning in trying to get out of it is made the situation even more and I going into the bank of the road saying on the bus and everyone well after a lot of silence strays silence a lot of you like any nobody has a lot to home of the engine going and being out everyone just quiet like what like why did you take us this nightly understanding about adventure but I like this is not for us and he only is my brother is just back there shaking his head like I don't know how to get out of this is like I understand you got insured for the show exactly know this is go anyway so we go to the bank in the nose of the bus is stuck into the side of the road in the snow and all that so we had to get Dick to the city officials or the Rangers I think that the park ranger showed up in his big old snowplow monster truck looking thing comes out in the tie chain on and yank us out and get us going back the opposite direction back to the safe road is a trail used to make she made down yeah yeah they did they did because the rest of luckily I was like downhill so it is an easy cruise down but but that was a sketchy moment because like we are most went off the mountain backside and we crashed into the bank on the outside so so when you are following this snowcapped thing didn't have a bumper sticker that said if you can read this. It arises you know that I don't know if Manny was like I want to try to go at it that that's not I would not do I would only like Joe will like Mossad I totally admire you from doing that and I think that is what so cool you left this career you jumped in both feet and you start pushing your boundaries exactly including that that's why haven't even having these these events that you got through and you became little better for that's what if you're on the fence on something you worry about failure failure happens I like how you brought along some innocent people for you great friends and that they are their friends today I don't know why but they came with me and they all live distorting until their own versions of the story so and I think that's what I'm about experiences right you know I would love to hear their versions of screaming quiet and is as yet is, the curtain behind the said yeah but that was kind of the most sketchy moment beingon set amount not be able to get up get out there yet but other than that though off on see you know the you you had to buy New Mexico and Colorado you then he told me that you had moved to to contribute to Mexico the right idea is that right after this or that was yes shortly after I was a little bit after I wanted change of scenery had been hit in the mountains hard and it was you know February or so light as subtropical sounds nicer now that the freedom that created the amount of freedom from you know I downsized a whole lot in the process of moving careers and change careers SharePoint minimal guy you know I downsize from a house to look out the spare bedroom and the bus so anyway so I had some freedom and I like a man take a trip down to Mexico I did a garage sale to raise little more funds for that and took $176 with me and spent about seven weeks down to Mexico all around the Riviera Maya region from Eastham Harrison Cancún down to Paladino Carmen down to Tuolumne and back up just on that money just on that money hose on that money now I did have like I had a savings account and so I bought a one-way ticket after 82 bucks when I went down there and so I didn't buy a returning ticket back until late if you like several weeks into that trip you know but I had savings account for that plane ticket back but I just went with 100 times Excel is cash that's all I used them to be in a couple of jobs I was down there staying in hostels using couch surfing.com where people open up their doors to travelers all over the world need a place to stay you get in a pinch by you can get on really get on this website happen to someone there's always someone that will let you in a crash on there like a pallet on the floor or spare bedroom or the couch so couch surfing.com and hostiles is how I forward lot of that stuff friends how my gosh man I met people from all over the world make great friends there's a guy down there right now cello Fernandez and so he comes in a long line of fishermen down there that have specifically lived on Isola Harris Lisa Lemaire's is a tiny little island write up a can coach as beautiful as Bill urges is so prudent it's so great and so he come from a long line of fishermen there and so he was one of the guys that I used on couch surfing.com and he nags head it off buddies he taught himself English I playing American video games and watching American film so so that's how he learned English and so anyway so now he's got his own like little tour guide boat and that he takes people out on adventures for snorkeling is also shy well shark diver and so in June are no

after connecting with them while traveling to hey anytime you're in our part of the world come hang out so first what what what kind of a job for the 10 years of some of the jobs he had done oh so I have a background in bartending in the restaurant management sure well so there's a part of Eastham Harristown Hidalgo little bit more tourist but it's got a long line of like markets and restaurants in Cantina's and so I found myself bartending for one canteen and bar restaurant and then another when I was a José like that I could speak English and talk to the this English-speaking tourists so I would get people hey you know how to go are you from come on in drug food behind it yet so doing things like that and then for like one job we got is kind of like the the beginning of the digital marketing like homicide like trying to make money doing that you are doing this you just in the digital marketing just to get yourself out of the ghetto would say try give you this money money to go do hop on the bus and do this shift so you just went down there yeah so I was like I was doing a lot of blogging and blogging stuff like that trying to be like one of those like travel influencers if you will so yeah so that while I was down there in about fungi little tight and so there is a little spa company that Rado you know are like a massage company of those old list huts on the beach and so there want to grow their business and that we just ran into them like at a canteen or something like that and is working you bills on the website melena will pay you but you know so my friend Amy and I might my friend Amy who went who's on the crazy bus experience is crazy and Jesus referred she met me down to Mexico she had a week to spend so she came down to Mexico and so we helped build out this website for a little massage company and that was, the first in a little bit into digital marketing they were the first ones in their geographical area to have that I mean for their in their niche are like their spot on their their lair massage yes but you know there are like there were other restaurants that follow them actually fold them this there now massage envy became generally the West man yeah now but yet I was with another way that I made money doing that for little gigantic curiosity did you market to that were going to be potential tourists like say they they know the going to book travel to that region so now you're you're putting their website in front of those particular people rather than just the local right absolutely yeah and so that's I have a friend who's down

why is it as to why did it but yeah I was trying to get people to come down can influence the Isola just really influence travel in general let's also because you are benefiting the island you were benefiting the people coming down the relearning your hope in the locals that isolate another that's great that's a very rewarding and fulfilling thing and absolutely said that's what you did foreclosure downtime like there man downtime was paddle boarding and kayaking and just hang out the hostiles and meeting new people share went die by mention the family from Argentina like they they scooped me up and they I just spent the whole day with him I met there so there were three siblings now there were four siblings four siblings I met them at a hostel called Polk not everybody's marriage got a good poke is one of the oldest and one of the largest hospitals in Central America so we hang out there having drinks and end up running into the brother the brother he was my age we start talking he owns a hostile down in Córdoba Argentina so he not hit it off and he introduced me to his sisters there on holiday with her father and there could their duck standoff like eight weeks or something like that they'd Artie been through like Central America central Mexico and were just traveling along we spent that night together like a in the morning meet us at the beach you can meet her dad so I went and met Cokie the dad gone cocoa cookie and he doesn't speculate speak a lick of English whatsoever was that's thing where is he staying at the time thinking that the hotel room at there like at this hotel room so they so they were saying hostile by choice they were hanging out at the hostel because there's a big open bar I will share Martha's a huge beach bar out there so people come to party there but in there's also like a lot of rooms and bedtime horses stay like it's one of the party spots you know of the island and so that's will remap it and that you know they all end up staying at their hotel there I'm not sure which one thereat but yet that's where he was hang out next morning I met him spent the day on the beach with them and then by the end of it they decide to invite me down to know the next couple stops which happen to be like Lida Carmen and Saloom and down so they just took took me with them Mike said hey come on we like you you want to travel with us and go down more Mexico like I looked at my you know check my wallet like it's sure let's get on the phones but I'm in a make it happen will see what comes of it and had a great it is what I noticed that sibling never finishes with food all just yeah they are super hospitable electric in that was that their culture really a note I didn't I don't know one of things I observed about their little family like anytime they had anything to drink anything like to eat is passed around every single member of the family unlike ladies like share with everybody you know I grew up with a brother and sister yelp family of five it is like think yourself man is my fear is that part of culture was cool go to the was actually my parents met my mother was my mother's Argentinian so one of the things that they do the cultures they have some pickled mop which is a T did they do that yes that is cool it's you have what's called a bumbling and then you put this mop it to you which is of teeth full of polyphenols and I think that's one of the reasons why a lot of the Argentinians at least traditionally that's what they would do but what they would do as you pour it in and you have this metal straw then you sipped the water out but then you pass it on to the next person okay everybody it's a community T that everybody sucks out of the same straw it's it's the culture of coming together around this one thing then also and they really filling my head yes yeah so you know and then there's also a lot of Argentinians will will go to Lisa Harris and so that's why I started seeing as I cannot talk to one guy actually I guy who ended up putting some dreadlocks in my hair mosquito it was as if he was his name but he always had one and he was like really cool intricate design I what you God you say the that bubble and so his is like really cool so off I approached him and found out all about it was a T and so yeah that that they in the chair they just like yeah you know you're here with us your family we share share everything with his particular time of day not that is, random from what I you know, like coffee time talk to you know it's kind of like centered around the that those dies to source really quick little story about Argentina my friend Russell Veronica called in his father died of ALS we do show talking about that about stem cells and all that help with that will Russ and I were invited down to Argentina when I was a medical student we didn't know what we're getting into was inviting us readily and we went down to WW out on one of sorrows and we show up and we have made no plans or anything family invited us there were there were patients universe Nebraska and so this is classic Russ we did and that will actually wear white coaches will wear like suits and is like Dallas to suit so we go in and then the residents came up to us they're like oh we have American med students and he goes to the chief resident is what we do it because I think were to go to a liver transplant like we do liver transplant to Nebraska redeployed Argentina to watch Russ puts his coat back on the hills tell them this is straight like exactly what he said tell them were here to evaluate them for an exchange program so experiments I tell you exit window guy shows up it all discarded just as HEPA boss about Philip about that and said let's have some fun and that was how the next two months what it was just like you just that one moment for us just what I love it I love that man that's a great that's usually the way to bond is to get them out there and shared so we shared it with the cool tradition yeah that also is great so you down you go down and need to travel with them a little bit further south then then how many weeks in our younger seven weeks day that was really early on I was pretty early I like my first couple weeks and there met them socially hard if you make friends on yet so like so part of the reason I ended up using couch surfing.com and in and really spend a lot of time in the hostiles was because I had a cousin that was down you know she used to live down there and shoot sublease or place out don't shoot she would simply sub lease her place out and come back to Texas to to work and then that like for like a week or 10 days and the rest of her time on Isola will she's like yeah look at this place and come crashing to come hang out so Michael replaced Dave's cousin. Well they get their wires crossed missed munication with management and the leasing people and so it turns out like if she ends up leaving to go back and stay in Texas for a month this time so check you how to place yourself and so my great and then like the day after she leaves gets back to Texas is like so I'm so sorry but there's been a mixup with management and they've booked out the air B&B year BRB or whatever it was her bucket out for the rest of time that you're there etc. like a couple days here in a couple days there so being like pushed out my my comfortable little cool spot is to be hanging out enough for couple months yeah end up having to be out try to figure it out like catchup.com hospital so yeah that's that's kinda how that happened but that was down there and it was logging the whole timely if we strata the following at this point absolutely like I did a couple of I did a couple of stories about what Hidalgo Avenue has to offer, like the kind of found that there's a flow there's a flow down there when you start hanging out the nightlife you know they they start off it at one place and go to another it is kind of like that's things close down and slow down you know there's comes flowing Sasha is not talked a lot about that and so just really quickly after a few these blogs and Dino taking pictures with it I got a pretty good following like out of nowhere it just kinda took off what health there was that my friend Sean with Lisa Harris.com he he shared it on his CP said one of my blogs on his Facebook page and so got some traction with that in like within a month or so I had like 750 subscribers like out of nowhere on my blog so so that's where I really started getting into photo journalism and blocking some really good background on you got very interesting past but now we've got about 45 seconds but now were to get into some really exciting stuff where you expanded everything now we go talk about the maps which is the what is map sample the multidisciplinary Association for psychedelic studies Got into That Just Said with All the New Research Coming out from Johns Hopkins I Kind of Ride a Hold in the YouTube about a Whole Lot

Story so We Would We Left Mexico Down from There for Seven Weeks Have Been Incredible Experience It Sounds to Me like Meeting New People and What I Was Hitting on the Bottom of the Hour Was That It Seems like People Probably Followed Your Blog Because You Were Engaging Them in Something That They Knew They Didn't Know Enough about What They Wanted to Explore And That Kinda Led to What You're Doing Right Now But a Different Kind of a Good Yeah Absolutely so with What the Way the Travel Effects in Our Conscious and Our Mind It Is It Such a Powerful Way It's a Scissors to Stripping of the Identity Really Your Fear in This Place Where You Don't Speak the Language You've Never Seen the Scenery before so Everything Is New Your Senses Are Heightened or Just Taking in All This Information Right so That's Fascinating to Me the Consciousness That at the Aspect of the Nature of Reality and How We All Know How I Would How It Works Together with Our Mind and so That Led Me into Reading More Articles about Consciousness and Things like That Which Led into the Expansion of Consciousness and Altered States And so And in That You Know Going in That Realm I Found Self-Love and Mushrooms in an LSD and DMT Psychedelics I the Knowledge of Them or You Just Started Dabbling I Started to Weld the Knowledge of Them the Knowledge and I Had a Little Bit of Previous Said Dabbling in My Early 20s with It Which Completely Changed A Lot Of Things in a Positive Way Some My First Experiences so with Having Those Experiences and Now Having The Knowledge behind It in the Studies in the Research That's Coming out Now Are Started 1994 Johns Hopkins I Started Just Absorbing All That Information That Content Online and I Found Paul Statements You Know Dennis McKenna Terrence McKenna and Just Kind of Is Also Going through You Know How I Talked Earlier about Want to Be out in Nature so Famous about Nature Lodges for Meditation Meditation Purposes and Just Kind of Health Reasons And Then I Started Noticing Mushrooms around Dino like A Lot A Lot More Than I Ever Really Realize You Can't Come into My My Awareness and so Then Every Time I Look around like Men There's Mushrooms in There Everywhere Then Is Some Different Kinds of Them Too Funny Because We Talked about That LLP That's like That's a Neurolinguistic Programming What Your Brain Opens up to You Will Notice Absolutely Absolutely I like Baby You Know People Play of This When My Good Start Friends Place around Us about Parking Spots Echoes of the Grocery Store He Likable He Has His Word That He Uses but He Does This Going to the Grocery Store and Just like For Open Parking Spots Close to the Store so We Don't Have To Walk Very Far but He Everything on Time like He Finds a Place Anyway so Once You're Aware Start to Show up in Your Reality and so I Searching Mushrooms Everywhere Started, Fallen around and Learn More about How They Spore and so You Know You You'll See Bill You Know in a Mature Little Group You See Your Evergreen Character That They Called Fairy Rings Right There There's a Strings of Mushrooms Because That's How They Spore and so I Really Got into It Only to Find More Mushrooms I Got Several like Books on Field Guide to Figure out Which Ones Are Which You Know Identifying the Species And in and Learning A Lot from Paul Statements on That You Know He's like a Leading Guy and Mushrooms Little While and Edible Mushrooms Any Kind like Whether Their College Is Full-Blown like My Call Just He's Got A Lot Of Great Stuff out There I Think He's Been on Joe Rogan Once or Twice to so You Know That's the Way She's Got A Lot Of Good Knowledge and in He's Got This Whole YouTube Channel As Well Anyway Suffered Lives Really Absorbing A Lot Of His Content Based on His His Love and Passion for Mushrooms Mycelium Kind of Bled over into Me Because I Found Less about Their Months so Much so I Started Emailing to Prints You Know like Taking This This Poor Print and Figuring out Okay As This Poisonous Is As Edible As His Face so What You Do so You Can Take the Caps of Mushrooms and yet Just so You Take the And You Can Lay down Some Foil or Some like Paper and Then But It like the Gills down You Know like That That the Top of the In the Gills down and Leave It There like over Night and You Can Remove the And Then Find out We and Stains a Certain Color like Orange Purple Brown and Based off This for Prints and What Color It Is You Know If It's like Edible Poisonous down Not Know That Your Reminding Me Something That I Completely Forgot and in Little Gainesville Are Boy Scout Troop or Our Cub Scout Troop Did That Yeah and It Was I Forgot All about That Said That Is Really Really Interesting the Other Couple Ways Identify Them That's One of the Main Ways to Do It but Also You Can Pick It up and If You Want a Finding of Psilocybin No Mushrooms Which Is the Magical Kind the Way That They Bruce When You Pick Them up You Can Pinch Their Stammer like and If They Bruise You Know That's the Day the Siletz Stilson Molecule and It Bruises Bluish Purplish and Tell You Know You've Got Something That's Magical and That a Quick Jerry Snoop Dogg So Unfortunately He Had a His Pig Dr. Holly I Can't Believe Scrip's New Pocky Hog Slip Are You Hello Miniature. His Primary RFP Snoop Dogg and Ended up Eating Left out a Death Right Yeah And I've Had Well Russ Lost His Dog to Do the Same Thing at Some Curious How Animals Have Some Sort of Defense On on That Play Fair That Pig Would Not Mean Just I Think Whenever You Have a Pig in Captivity Even If You're Keeping It As a Pet They're Going to Eat More There Going to Be Less Discerning in Terms of What They Choose to Eat I Read That since Then so It Just Saw Mushroom and Rather Than Try to Figure out If It Is Right or Not Things Went Have Any Foil They Imprint to Get Back There in the Lab and Studied a Little Bit in All Seriousness Is That Doesn't Happen in the Wild When I Get That like in Captivity We Probably Brought out Some of These Instincts but Do Animals Eat These Poisonous Mushrooms in the Well Usually It Is Very Rare That It Happens I You Know I Think It They Have They Know You Know They Know Something and They Whether It's the Smell of That That the Mushrooms Are Giving off or Something They Sense It Doesn't Happen in the Wild but Not Very Often That I'm Aware of Its Own Was Always a Domesticated Dog or Another Pet That Ends up Consuming the Toadstool of the Yeah Or Something Yeah Okay Is It Just I Think It's Colors I Will Sing with Him to See Mushrooms Everywhere That I Just Have Never Really Thought about Mushrooms Website This Can Have a Good Time of the Year You Know like What Went with the Rain You Know It's Hot for Several Days and They Will Get Some Rain and the Listings of Pop up Everywhere so This Is a Good Time Here and Also in That Late September Is Also Great Great Tummy Year-Round Here in Texas to Find Mushrooms of Any Kind What You Doing This Research in Your Reading What Led to You to Say Okay There's More to It Then Me Just I Doing Identifying and And Dad However Your Your Mapping Yeah I Know You Didn't Go into Becoming for My Colleges but Obviously Were Drawn to Those Who Are What What Took You to That That Space and What You Want to Application It Will Just It Was so Fascinating to Find out What Mycelium Does Your Mycelium Eye Which Is the Organism That Fruits and Mushroom What You See with Mushrooms Is Just the Fruiting of You Know of the Organism Much like the Apple Is the Tree the Trees Organism the Fruit Mycelium Is the Fungus Is the Organism That Princes Mushrooms so Mycelium Access Is like Underground Network Almost like You Know a Fast Internet System for the Plant Kingdom and so There Are Signals Being Passed across This Mycelium Minute Vertebrate Writ Really Resembles like Brain and Neural Pathways As Well and so Just Finding out That There They Are Communicating and Protecting Each Other EL This Step I'd Had I Did Not Notice on the Picture Yeah Where It Really Shows His Vast Network underneath the Ground Yes Absolutely Yes after the Soil like You Know That It's All through the Soil and so They Are They Are Communicating the Plants Are Communicate and through Mycelium You and Always See Other Mushrooms and in My Ceiling Are Communicating in This Vast Network and so They're Protecting Their Warning off You Know Other What Are Plants That Could Be Encroaching or Animals or Whatever but It's a Sickness It's Open to Learning about That and What It's Doing and Then Paul Statements Did an Experiment With Toxic Waste Today Is like Bunch of Toxic Waste in Their This Issue Came up Exactly Where Was Busy like a Building or Industrial Something That Is Big Pile of like Waste in Trash and It Was Toxic and so What He Did Was He Fermented and in Place Some of the Spores of This Specific Type of Mushroom and It Grew like Crazy and It Decomposed This Toxic Waste in This Trash and Ate It All up so Not Only like You Know That You Have These Mushrooms That Are Good to Eat Good for Us but You Have These Mushrooms That Are Decomposing the Waste and Then in the Toxic Stuff That We Can Hardly Get Rid of These Mushrooms Are Eating It Bring It down Back to Organic Matter Yeah I Will Think It Was That Long Ago You Mentioned to Me That They're Looking to Basically Take Plastics That We Can't Recycle And Then You Put Them into and They They They Function As Fungus Compost Pile Scraps Absolutely Isolated They Just Turn They Returned to the Earth the Way That We Need to Start to Break down Plaster the Start to Discover That They Can Break down Plastic It Really Is Hard Stuff That You Think Man That's Afghanistan Landfill Forever but Mushrooms Are Likes Showing to Decompose Them If They Were Able to Do Something or Discover Some of That Movement Whenever They Thought Their Predicting of How Long a Plastic Grocery Bag Would Last and Landfill and It Says They Started Doing Others Soil Sampling There Doing These Long Cores Are Pulling It out Is Are Discovering That Where They Knew Plastic Bags and Plastic Material Were They Been Broken down into Not Plastic Try to Figure out What It Happened And There Happened to Be Fungus And Most Related to Mycelium in Various Types of Motions That It Helped Break down Absolute Facet I Had No Idea World of Mushrooms Are Just so Fascinating and There They Paul Same It's Really Things That Mushrooms Are Going to Help Solve A Lot Of the Problems Are Gone Right Now with Tech Waste and All Best in A Lot Of Things Eight Health and the Environment I Just so It Is Best Opportunity That Measured Your Start to Show and Prove That Other Capable of so Many Things I've the Feeling That When Chef Patrick Hears This Is like Of Course Is That He's a Chef He Has His Own Show Is I Was There Too Much of What We Do Portobello What Is He to Be No Idea That the Southern Whole World Exist Absolutely and Select Learning about All That and Is Becoming Fascinated with How It Works in Nature like It's Its Purpose in Nature I Thought Well You Know There Has To Be a Purpose Right That It Had to Psilocybin and We Have Psilocybin Receptors in Our Own Brain You Know in Our Brains so the Nature You Know It's a Yellow Hand-To-Hand so I Was like This Got Me Something Here Right so Let's Figure out a Bit More about the Psychedelic Side in the Silicide inside What That Dozen Experiences That That You Know That's Going on There Is That Is That to Curiosity Would Lead You to Mass Yes Absolutely Yes so That's Exactly What Led Me to Maps Because Their Research You Know Starting in 1994 and I Wasn't There Research I'm Sorry but the Research It Started in 1994 at Johns Hopkins University Just There Was so Many Profound Learnings from That Experiment and Then the Patients Going on to Have You Know Wade like Almost No Depression about I Think 76 of Them They Check Back about a Year Later and Anxiety Depression Is Almost Nonexistent And Then in about 80 Five or 86% of Those Patients Said That Was the Most Profound and Meaningful Experiences of Our Life One of the Most Profound Expresses of Her Life so Learning a Bit about That And in Discount What Was Going on There Led Me to Discovering the Maps Organization Multi-This Binary Association for Psychedelic Studies and They Are Raising Money They Are Nonprofit to Continue the Funding of Psychedelics's Position That Tim Ferris Bold or He Pledged $1 Million I Think so I Think to Embarrassed It Didn't Jason Silva Is a Big Advocate for Him to Be Online and If He Has No Ears but He's He's a Really Big Advocate so If You Want to Learn More about like What They Do What They're Doing It with Maps You Can You Know Follow Jason Silva and I Am Not Sure Much about in Paris but He Might ALL the Podcasts That I Will Commit to Donate $1 Million This Year To This Research but It Seems like This Would Be the What Do It] Is Site at Me Because There's a Bit of the Forefront of It Was Founded in 1986 and They Been Really Just Kind of Pushing Forward with This Research for All These Years and They There Right Now They're Doing MDMA Studies and Are Having Huge Success with That in Patients with PTSD You Know like Veterans and Whatnot and Select There in Phase 3 Trials Right Now and It's Will Probably Look like It's Going to Be past for Therapeutic Use Very Soon Just like That at This Morning Marie Actually Brought up If I Knew If They Had Made Any Movement in That Area and We Just Happen to Google and You're Exactly Right That Happens to Be Very Recent Headlines with Her Trying to Be Assigned the Scheduling of MDMA so That He Moved to to Research Specifically for PTSD and Depression Molecule in Ecstasy for S It's Really Interesting Also That He That You're Talking about What Mass Is Doing to Fund Research Because I Believe and I Could Be Mistaken I Believe Have After Institute Where Dennis McKenna Works Founded They Do A Lot Of Research Specifically around Psilocybin Usually They Do a Little Bit at the Other Stuff As Well but Most Know Lucila Sabin and We Were Talking of His Earlier Whenever You Talked with Dennis He Illustrated They Get a Long-Term Running Study Were There Still over 91% Success Rate Of Curing People of Their Addiction to Smoking So You Know This Is Also Excited to Bring You on Is That You Don't Come in with This PhD in This Agenda You Just Found This Journey And You Just Discovered This and Now You're Impassioned to Share It to to Voice This over Anybody Please Subscribe Share in Anybody That Struggles with Addiction Smoking Alcohol Drugs Opioids or If You Battle Anxiety or Depression There's Hope I Really Think That Word Will Be Able to Use These in a Controlled Environment and Make a Joint Enormous Difference Yeah Question Absolutely That's What It's All You Know That's What All Coming down to and so the Decriminalization of Psilocybin Mushrooms and Magic Mushrooms in the Denver Area and Denver and Then in Oakland Also Shortly after Denver Oakland California Decriminalize Mushrooms to so People Start to Become Aware and and Realize That You Know It's Not As You Know Seery We Shouldn't Focus You Know like the Policing of It But Also Is More More Research Comes out You Know That the Positive Health Benefits That Come along with These but These Medicines That I like to Call the Medicines Yet Did You Ever Ask One of the Things That I Listen to a Ted Talk and They Were Describing That It's One of the Few Times That You Can Be Most People Describe a Positive Reaction As a Self the First Time They Became Self Aware Is It's Almost Impossible for Egos To Let Us Dissociate Look at Us in a Very Self-Aware Kind of Situation Once You Can Do That Then You're Able to This Is What Some People Theorize That Then You're Able to Control the Thoughts Easier Because You Seen Yourself In a Different Way and You like Little I'm Actually in Control A Lot Of Times When You Have Anxiety and Depression Feel That You're at the Mercy of This Of These Mental Health Issues and Did You Have It Do You Ever Do It a High Dose and Find the Self-Awareness Aspect of It Absolutely Yeah I've Had Several Experiences in Them so so Terrence and Terrence McKenna Talked about If You Going to Do It You Take the Risk of Doing It You Know Don't You This Is It Something You Do What We Know What the Guys and Gals like Hanging out Going to Parties and Going to the Beach or Whatever It Is like a Recreational Fun Type Thing This Is a Therapeutic Meditative Minute You Know Medicine so Do It by Yourself In the Dark You Know Close Your Eyes and Know No Exterior's Stimulation Going on and so That's the Way That I Chose to Do It by Following You Know so Also You Guys Know Terrence McKenna Is Distant Dennis Brother Brother) so So I He Buys A Lot I Saw A Lot Of His Content and so I Wanted to Do It. This Was Terrence's Gonna Say I'm in It Give It The Test and Experiment so Have Had Several Those Experiences Where I Myself You Learn so Much about Yourself That's What Comes to the Forefront As Your Subconscious You Talk about Me in Our Egos You Know I Got to Work Constantly Were Living off of and Living through Most of the Time Right but Then We Had These Experiences in Our Subconscious What What's Going on under the Surface Comes to the Surface and so You You Really Get to Sit with It and See What's Going on Internally and like You Said Remove Yourself From This from It's a New Perspective Right and so You Do A Lot Of Self Discovery Self Journeying and You Come Away from It Totally like It's Also the Cognitive Cleansing As Well of Cleansing Rate Term Yeah and That and That's What Happened to Know That That's What They're There Saying Happens Because You Know the Brain Lights up You Using All in Different Parts of the Brain Your Ear Dealing Your You're Dealing with Stuff That You've Maybe Been Suppressing You Know That Come out and It Could Come out in a Challenging Experience You Know What People Call Bad Trips Whatever You Know That Could Come out If You Don't Allow It but If You Sit in You Allow Yourself to Deal with What's Coming up and Go through That Experience and Go through That Trip You in You Just Kind of Surrender to That Moment It Passes and You Learn Something about Yourself People the That Are Very Skilled in Meditation And If They Really Get What They Can Do This They Will Experience Something Very Similar If You Go through Very This Just and Then I Remember Reading That They've Done like Functional MRIs on People Where They Can Look and People That Are Very Skilled at Meditation the Brain Lights up in a Very Similar Way with Somebody so It's Almost like Fast Forwarding Yourself to an Area Where You Can Achieve That without 10 Years of Therapeutic Meditative Exercises and Absolutely Yeah Yeah I've Seen Those Graphs in Those Charts and of the Brain and It's That Easy Gary Zaki Right That's It It Said Instead of Meditating In a Cave for 80 Years It Has Some Good News Just like I Have Done It like 20 Years Old and Likes of Drug Everybody You Have Gone There so No Longer Angry at My Father There Is a Friend of Ours Hollis Who Has Think Either Two or Three Times Signed up for It's a Silent Retreat And It Said a Minimum of 12 Days and There's a Protocol Where You Do Not Do Any Talking You Try to Avoid Complete High-Tech Eye Contact for a Solid 12 Days and I Believe That He Said He's Got Experience with Various Psychedelics As Well and Very Reflective Fashion Trying to Find Your Policy Needs Very Very Deep Thinker Super Deep Thinker Supersmart Just like One of These Really Were Successful People but Self-Aware and He Says That the Sign That This Repeat That This Schedule Is Meditation Meditation Meditation Meditation Food Mild Exercises but Meditation and That It's Outside of That Level of Reflection Back upon Himself and What He Wants Out Of Life and Is a Very Calm Calling Presence Is Hollis and He Says Either That It's It's Basically Mushrooms the Yeah The Closest Thing That I Can Come to Something like This Is What I Went to a Very Tiny Small Religious College Was a Lutheran Place Called My Mom Taught Them so What Fruit and Super Tardy A Business Professor of My Do the Whole Religion Thing Is the Reason Why It Was Interesting Was Hosting a Guided Unity and Theory of Meditation Were You Would Guide You through the Was a Big Proponent of It and so I Was like One of the Only Science Students That Showed up in Those Public 60 People in the First Night The Three Hours Long the Next Night It Was like 20 People like That It Was like for like Four of Us That It Did for like Weeks and Weeks and It Was You It's a Stepwise Process Metric Now I Understand Why True Meditation Because You Have To Be Ready to Accept His Skills and What Happened Is That a Couple People Would like Breakup Bawling and Run Out Of the Root And I Will Talk to Them Later and the like Oh My God I I Had to Deal with My Abuse and Uncle Sexually Abuse Me or Whatever and It Just Came And Just Right in the Face And That's That's Exactly What You're Talking about We Have Stuff That Were Trying to Suppress Runaway from When He Turned and Looked at It Then You Can Gain Control of Apps Easier Said Than Done Area Takes Work It Is Practice That's Want to Call It Practicing Meditation into Practice and Now I Started off Doing like Six Minutes You Know to Sit underneath the Tree Just to Get outside and Sit Archery in the Start of Six Minutes and Then Work My Way up to Longer but It's a Practice It's Difficult but so so Cooper Personally like Me the Discounted Note. I've Got A Lot Of Issues so I Was Just Kind of like Jump It All in OT Was Thrown from Hiawassee Maybe Some IPO Day and Have a Little LSD Some MDMA and Then Just Finish That off with the Boat with It Decent Skullcap Do So That's Day Today Right Yeah Is No but They Do They I Remember Listening to Some Podcast and Crisscross Her Where She Had a Doctor on Discussing This Where He Went to a Retreat in New Mexico Where They Did a Guided Suicide and Experience You Have People That If You Start to Go into a Bad Place They Walk You Out Of It Absolutely yet and so There Are Several Large Network of under Ground Guides out There to Help People with These Journeys Because They They Are so Passionate about the Health Involved in and Just the Results That They See the Day They Take That Risk but Their Underground and There Is a Network of These Guys out There but That's You Absolutely Unless You Are No Well Versed in Meditation for Psychedelics You Want to Find a Guide on It so That the Safest Way to Do It Find out I Don't Know How to Do It Exactly Have Never Found a Guide I Was Just Kind of Done My Thing but That Did like I Said Earlier This Isn't like a Party Drug These Are These

It's It's Dealing with That and Facing It so That You Can Move on and Have a Better Quality of Life These Guides Help Through That Process You're Going through in Their Kind of Talking You Guiding You through Your Having Your Own Experience If Things Come up You're Able to Can I Go into This Guide and the Guide Is There to Listen to Hold Hold Space and to Navigate Help You Navigate Your Own Journey through That so If There It's Fascinating like That You Brought up the Fact He Said the You You Kind of Educated Yourself and How You Have Maintained Your Journey and It's Obvious That You Taking the Serious Tone of You Want It for the Benefits of the Self Reflection in the Therapy and Something That's Really Popular Here Recently We've Had Patients Who Talk about in the Coming for the Kaleidoscope to the GDS's Have You Ever Heard of Micro Dosing and It Was Something That We Brought up with the Dennis McKenna and He Said That He's Not Necessarily Sold on the Advent of Just Micro Dosing That If You Don't Crossed the Threshold of Having the Deep Experience That Actually the Micro Dosing It's Is Simply Just Not Beneficial over Time Is That Something That You Run across As Well Yeah So I Think That There Are There Are Several Benefits to Micro-Dosing There Are You Get the Medicinal Qualities of Micro Dosages Was a Micro Dressing Is Taking a You Know Smaller Smaller Dosage You'll Probably around like Anywhere from The 10th 10th of a Grammar Are Half of the Grand Looks Really Small Doses of These Mushrooms What Were LSD Just Doing Tiny Doses and They Rather Than Taking a Full-Blown like Large Dose to Rehab the Spiritual or Psychedelic Experiences so Micro Dosing Is Just a Way to Get the Benefits You Know of the Medicine without Having to Go and like Not Be Able to Talk to Anybody for Six or Seven Hours Chevy Shut up and Away but My Producing It I Think That There Are Benefits to Taking a Smaller Doses Just Because There Are like Dark Nero Regenerative Aspects and Qualities till Sieben and Mushrooms so I Think That You Can Get Benefits from Them but I Think As Far As The Therapeutic You Know the True Therapy I Think I Agree with Dennis McCann on That You Have To past That Threshold You Have To Go on That Journey You Have To Go There yet He Was All about That He Just Basically Said Micro Dozers Have a Key Bout of Two Though Is That the Nature Nature
