Podcast appearances and mentions of Bob Gardner

Bob Gardner joins Bryan Goodwin on episode 269 of The Relaxed Male, providing insights that challenge conventional approaches to pain and addiction. Bob, known as the "Freedom Specialist," shares a transformative perspective on how our mindset shapes our experiences and influences our health. At the start, Bryan highlights how Bob's work has shifted his own understanding of addiction, viewing it as a symptom of underlying emotional struggles rather than a mere behavioral issue. This conversation touches on the evolution of Bob's practice, initially focused on helping men with porn addiction, but expanding into broader realms encompassing life's challenges and embracing change.A key theme of the discussion is the power of the mind in shaping our experiences. Bob emphasizes that everyone is inadvertently harnessing their mental capabilities, whether they realize it or not, when they react to events around them. He recounts the story of a cancer patient whose condition improved dramatically after being told they received an effective treatment—only for their health to decline again once they learned it was a placebo. This highlights the mind's potent influence over the body and emphasizes Bob's view that our perceptions and beliefs shape our physical reality.Bryan probes deeper into how individuals can tap into their mental capacities. Bob elaborates, explaining that the question is often asked incorrectly, limiting possibilities. Instead of asking how to access the mind's power, individuals should recognize they are already engaging it. This ties into the concept of "entertainment," where the information we consume shapes our thoughts and responses. Bob reflects on how people often expose themselves to negative influences and emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with positive stimuli to cultivate a more constructive mindset. He recalls Einstein's insight about not solving problems from the same level of thought that created them, advocating for a shift in focus toward opportunities for positive growth.The conversation transitions to the natural limitations humans impose on themselves, stemming from societal conditioning that promotes self-doubt. Bob theorizes that such limitations arise from a resistance to life's natural flow, suggesting that many people are unaware of their potential due to the environment and narratives they've absorbed. He challenges the audience to consider alternative societies wherein limitations aren't part of the prevailing mental framework, suggesting that our desires and aims often grow from negative environments.They discuss the concept of grounding and being present in one's physical body, which leads to greater self-awareness and emotional regulation. This approach is especially relevant in situations where individuals turn to distractions or addiction in response to boredom or discomfort. Bob stresses simplifying the understanding of emotions: feelings of boredom or anxiety often boil down to a mismatch in physical states. By altering one's physical condition, such as through movement or stretching, individuals can change their emotional state, circumventing the cognitive loops that lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms.Bryan illustrates the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as they navigate discussions around addiction. Both agree that understanding the physiological sensations underlying emotions is vital for managing challenges. Bob encourages listeners to pay close attention to their bodies, as it can lead to breakthroughs that a purely cognitive approach may not achieve.As the dialogue continues, Bob expands on the importance of mindfulness and self-awareness in overcoming past conditioning that informs present responses. They explore how modern distractions muddy our perceptions of reality, making it difficult for individuals to connect with their true selves. Bob advocates for intentional stillness as a means to foster deeper connections with existence, which can lead to insights often missed in our hectic daily lives.In conclusion, the episode packs a wealth of information, ultimately calling on listeners to reflect on their own mental frameworks, understand their emotions at a physiological level, and engage with life more openly. Bob leaves the audience with resources to continue exploring this journey, such as his book "Built for Freedom" and associated courses designed to dismantle limiting beliefs and promote holistic healing. Bryan thanks Bob for his insights and encourages listeners to explore how these concepts can enhance their lives moving forward. This dialogue encapsulates a transformative approach to personal development, emphasizing the power within each person to shape their own reality and overcome boundaries previously thought insurmountable.RetreatsBook - Built for Freedom: The 10 adventuresLife Progressionwhat entertainsbuilt for feedom .org unshacled lAST RETREATBob InformationFacebook- https://www.facebook.com/thebobgardnerBook - https://a.co/d/5skTXU7Bob's Course Choose Your Own Emotion - https://live.thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternowThe Final Retreat In July - https://live.thefreedomspecialist.com/unshackled

As a Transformational Specialist Bob's aim is to share his unique tools with the world that help them find happiness, health, and well-being on autopilot. After 18 years of being trapped in addictive patterns, and on the brink of both divorce and suicide, something inside Bob told him it was not time to quit just yet.

Let's get into it: DENVER (AP) — In yesterday's state of the state speech to lawmakers, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis laid out his vision to tackle the state's sky-high housing prices - including proposals to roll back building regulations, open public land to affordable housing development, and support innovations such as pre-built units.Polis, a Democrat re-elected in November, also touched on efforts to combat climate change, lower the state income tax, measures to reduce crime, and expanded education funding.Polis, the first openly gay governor in the U.S., starts his second term after a shooting at a Colorado Springs gay nightclub in November left five dead and has renewed calls by Democrats to enact stricter gun regulations.Looking down from the gallery were Richard Fierro and Thomas James, two patrons who tackled the shooter inside the club, as Polis read the names of those killed, asked for a moment of silence and nodded towards concerns around “spiraling hate speech.”Polis addressed gun violence but largely skirted Democrat proposals that included raising the minimum age to buy guns and potentially banning assault weapons.Polis told reporters after his address. “We are happy to discuss other ideas about how we can improve gun safety in Colorado and honor our Second Amendment rights," Polis lauded government intervention on housing, citing a ballot measure that Coloradans passed in November that dedicates an estimated $300 million annually to affordable housing. Polis said he also plans to “aggressively” free up parcels of state-owned land for low-income units.Polis gave his speech — which referenced everything from electric vehicle tax credits to "The Lord of the Rings” character Gandalf the Grey — after securing almost 60% of the vote in a state where Independent voters are one-third of the electorate. Polis's appeal has stirred rumors of a future presidential run.“Our state might be shaped like a square but the political pundits can't put us in a box,” Polis said. “We are a state that just this year voted to once again cut income taxes, while legalizing magic mushrooms.”Jesse Bedayn is a corps member for the Associated Press/Report for America Statehouse News Initiative.

The bipartisan bill is sponsored by McCluskie, Sen. Kyle Mullica, a Federal Heights Democrat, Sen. Cleave Simpson, an Alamosa Republican, and Rep. Mary Bradfield, a Colorado Springs Republican.Senate Bill 23-3 would create the Colorado Adult High School Program for adults to earn a high school diploma at no cost and enter the workforce.

The bill permits an inmate sentenced for a nonviolent felony offense to have earned time deducted from the inmate's sentence for each accredited degree or other credential awarded by an accredited institution of higher education to the inmate while the inmate is incarcerated, in the following amounts:One year of earned time for receiving an associate, baccalaureate, or graduate degree; and6 months of earned time for receiving a certificate or other credential.The bill requires the general assembly to annually appropriate the savings incurred during the prior state fiscal year as a result of the release of inmates from correctional facilities because of earned time granted for completion of a higher education degree or credential, as follows:50% of the savings to the department of corrections to facilitate inmates enrolling in and completing accredited higher education programs; and50% of the savings to the department of higher education for allocation to institutions of higher education that offer accredited programs in correctional facilities.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)Read LessCHALKBEAT COLORADO:Colorado's free preschool application is open. Here's what you need to know.The parent application for Colorado's new free preschool program opened yesterday— a major milestone in the march toward the program's launch next summer. The program, funded in part by a voter-approved nicotine tax, will offer 10 to 15 hours a week of tuition-free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide, with some eligible for 30 hours a week. In addition, some 3-year-olds will be eligible for 10 hours a week early childhood education.Families who fill out the application by Feb. 14, will find out what preschool their child matched with on March 10.State officials expect about 30,000 children to opt into the universal preschool program in its first year. That's about half the number that will be eligible. SO: Who gets free preschool and what age do they have to be?Three groups of children qualify: all 4-year-olds, some 3-year-olds who need extra help, and a small number of 5-year-olds who are too young for kindergarten. The goal is for kids to be more prepared for kindergarten.Some 4-year-olds will get 30 hours of free preschool a week, including those from lower-income families, kids who speak a language besides English at home, are homeless, in foster care, or have disabilities. The new preschool program will also cover 10 hours a week of preschool for 3-year-olds in these same groups. What's involved in the application? Are there income requirements?Many families will need about 15 minutes and not much else. The application is offered in English, Spanish, and Arabic, and parents should be able to complete the application on a cell phone or computer. Families that earn up to 270% of the federal poverty limit — about $81,000 a year for a family of four —will need to upload documents that prove their income.Can I pick my child's preschool?Yes. Families will be asked to pick up to five preschools they'd like their child to attend and will be able to rank their choices. Options include school-based preschools, church-based preschools, preschool programs inside child care centers, and state-licensed home-based preschools. Children will be prioritized for a spot in a preschool if they're already enrolled there, if a sibling is enrolled there, or if a parent works there. When does free preschool start in Colorado?August or September of this fall, depending on the specific preschool. For more information check out upk.colorado.gov or you can also contact the state's help desk at 303-866-5223 Do you have a question you don't see answered here or can't find the answer to elsewhere?

Katie Hobbs. Dubbed the Promise for Dreamers Scholarship Program, the $40 million dollar investment is  aimed at supporting undocumented students who've attended an Arizona high school for at least two years. Scholarships from the program help fund four years at one of the state's three public universitiesThe new scholarship program debuted in Hobbs' State of the State speech last week, where she billed it as an extension of Proposition 308 which allows DREAMERS to pay in-state tuition and access state-funded financial help. Reyna Montoya, who was part of the effort to pass Prop. 308 said that even though it improves access to higher education, but it doesn't resolve the inequality undocumented students face at the federal level. To fill out the FAFSA, which determines a student's eligibility for low-income loans and scholarships like the Pell Grant, citizenship is a requirement.If you're a low-income student, typically you have other supports, like the Pell Grant,” Montoya said. If you're a Dreamer, and you're getting ready to graduate from high school, you're not eligible. Even paying in-state tuition is going to be a steep challenge if you're trying to pay for school completely out of your own pocket.“Seeing the same heartache time after time — I get the chills to think that we can have different conversations with our students looking ahead. We don't have to tell them, ‘You're limited to these extremelydifficult pathways if you want to obtain an education,'” she said. Montoya is also hopeful that the scholarship will benefit the state's future by creating a more educated workforce and helping to mitigate labor shortages. Arizona is currently grappling with teacher vacancies and faces a projected nursing shortage by 2030. “This would really help us close a lot of the workforce gaps that we have in the state,” she said, adding: “It's in our benefit to see education as an investment rather than an expense.” Potential future benefits are a significant argument in favor of the scholarship, said Tyler Montague, chairman of the Yes on 308 campaign. “It's a big payback. Everybody that we get through college — as compared to just high school — makes $650,000 to $1 million more over their lifetime, and they're putting that money back into the economy. And they pay, on average, $380,000 more over their lifetime in taxes, which is a massive financial return,” he said, citing national studies.Also important to consider are the social returns that college grads provide, Montague added.  People who earn a college degree are less likely to incur social costs, and are more involved in their communities. Montague hopes that the Republican-majority legislature gives the scholarship fund a fair shot, and keeps in mind the support that voters gave Prop. 308 as an indicator for the consensus around aiding undocumented youth in the state. “I would hope that the legislature takes their cue from (308) and acts accordingly,” he said. The proposition passed with a narrow 51% majority, but the approval across party lines was widespread, with as many as 27% of Republicans and 54% of Independents voting yes. Still, while Arizona voters agreed to level the playing field in university tuition rates, some Republican leaders in the legislature are balking at opening up access to state-funded scholarships. “Gov. KATIE HOBBS in her State of State stated that she would like to invest $40 million to help pay for illegal immigrants to attend college in Arizona,” tweeted House Majority Leader Leo Biasiucci. “What about LEGAL citizens of Arizona or any other state?” Hobbs' budget proposal also includes an equivalent $40 million increase to the state's existing Arizona Promise Program, which she estimated on Monday could benefit as many as 10,000 more students. Last year, 4,000 students benefited. While the underlying legislation of Prop. 308 found bipartisan support, and was proposed by a Republican state senator, Hobbs' initiative may face an uphill battle in a statehouse with a more conservative bent to it. Enacting it through legislative channels isn't her only option; she could resort to issuing an executive order or negotiate with the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's universities. It's unclear, however, what path the governor's office will take; they did not respond to questions about what strategies it might consider to create the new scholarship fund.CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK:Billy Strings has 3 sold out shows February 2, 3, and 4 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield.  At just 30 years old, Billy Strings is one of the most celebrated bluegrass musicians in America.

Here's what you need to know.The parent application for Colorado's new free preschool program opened yesterday— a major milestone in the march toward the program's launch next summer. The program, funded in part by a voter-approved nicotine tax, will offer 10 to 15 hours a week of tuition-free preschool to 4-year-olds statewide, with some eligible for 30 hours a week. In addition, some 3-year-olds will be eligible for 10 hours a week early childhood education.Families who fill out the application by Feb. 14, will find out what preschool their child matched with on March 10.State officials expect about 30,000 children to opt into the universal preschool program in its first year. That's about half the number that will be eligible. SO: Who gets free preschool and what age do they have to be?Three groups of children qualify: all 4-year-olds, some 3-year-olds who need extra help, and a small number of 5-year-olds who are too young for kindergarten. The goal is for kids to be more prepared for kindergarten.Some 4-year-olds will get 30 hours of free preschool a week, including those from lower-income families, kids who speak a language besides English at home, are homeless, in foster care, or have disabilities. The new preschool program will also cover 10 hours a week of preschool for 3-year-olds in these same groups. What's involved in the application? Are there income requirements?Many families will need about 15 minutes and not much else. The application is offered in English, Spanish, and Arabic, and parents should be able to complete the application on a cell phone or computer. Families that earn up to 270% of the federal poverty limit — about $81,000 a year for a family of four —will need to upload documents that prove their income.Can I pick my child's preschool?Yes. Families will be asked to pick up to five preschools they'd like their child to attend and will be able to rank their choices. Options include school-based preschools, church-based preschools, preschool programs inside child care centers, and state-licensed home-based preschools. Children will be prioritized for a spot in a preschool if they're already enrolled there, if a sibling is enrolled there, or if a parent works there. When does free preschool start in Colorado?August or September of this fall, depending on the specific preschool. For more information check out upk.colorado.gov or you can also contact the state's help desk at 303-866-5223 Do you have a question you don't see answered here or can't find the answer to elsewhere?

Katie Hobbs. Dubbed the Promise for Dreamers Scholarship Program, the $40 million dollar investment is  aimed at supporting undocumented students who've attended an Arizona high school for at least two years. Scholarships from the program help fund four years at one of the state's three public universitiesThe new scholarship program debuted in Hobbs' State of the State speech last week, where she billed it as an extension of Proposition 308 which allows DREAMERS to pay in-state tuition and access state-funded financial help. Reyna Montoya, who was part of the effort to pass Prop. 308 said that even though it improves access to higher education, but it doesn't resolve the inequality undocumented students face at the federal level. To fill out the FAFSA, which determines a student's eligibility for low-income loans and scholarships like the Pell Grant, citizenship is a requirement.If you're a low-income student, typically you have other supports, like the Pell Grant,” Montoya said. If you're a Dreamer, and you're getting ready to graduate from high school, you're not eligible. Even paying in-state tuition is going to be a steep challenge if you're trying to pay for school completely out of your own pocket.“Seeing the same heartache time after time — I get the chills to think that we can have different conversations with our students looking ahead. We don't have to tell them, ‘You're limited to these extremelydifficult pathways if you want to obtain an education,'” she said. Montoya is also hopeful that the scholarship will benefit the state's future by creating a more educated workforce and helping to mitigate labor shortages. Arizona is currently grappling with teacher vacancies and faces a projected nursing shortage by 2030. “This would really help us close a lot of the workforce gaps that we have in the state,” she said, adding: “It's in our benefit to see education as an investment rather than an expense.” Potential future benefits are a significant argument in favor of the scholarship, said Tyler Montague, chairman of the Yes on 308 campaign. “It's a big payback. Everybody that we get through college — as compared to just high school — makes $650,000 to $1 million more over their lifetime, and they're putting that money back into the economy. And they pay, on average, $380,000 more over their lifetime in taxes, which is a massive financial return,” he said, citing national studies.Also important to consider are the social returns that college grads provide, Montague added.  People who earn a college degree are less likely to incur social costs, and are more involved in their communities. Montague hopes that the Republican-majority legislature gives the scholarship fund a fair shot, and keeps in mind the support that voters gave Prop. 308 as an indicator for the consensus around aiding undocumented youth in the state. “I would hope that the legislature takes their cue from (308) and acts accordingly,” he said. The proposition passed with a narrow 51% majority, but the approval across party lines was widespread, with as many as 27% of Republicans and 54% of Independents voting yes. Still, while Arizona voters agreed to level the playing field in university tuition rates, some Republican leaders in the legislature are balking at opening up access to state-funded scholarships. “Gov. KATIE HOBBS in her State of State stated that she would like to invest $40 million to help pay for illegal immigrants to attend college in Arizona,” tweeted House Majority Leader Leo Biasiucci. “What about LEGAL citizens of Arizona or any other state?” Hobbs' budget proposal also includes an equivalent $40 million increase to the state's existing Arizona Promise Program, which she estimated on Monday could benefit as many as 10,000 more students. Last year, 4,000 students benefited. While the underlying legislation of Prop. 308 found bipartisan support, and was proposed by a Republican state senator, Hobbs' initiative may face an uphill battle in a statehouse with a more conservative bent to it. Enacting it through legislative channels isn't her only option; she could resort to issuing an executive order or negotiate with the Arizona Board of Regents, which oversees the state's universities. It's unclear, however, what path the governor's office will take; they did not respond to questions about what strategies it might consider to create the new scholarship fund.CONCERT PICK OF THE WEEK:Billy Strings has 3 sold out shows February 2, 3, and 4 at the 1st Bank Center in Broomfield.  At just 30 years old, Billy Strings is one of the most celebrated bluegrass musicians in America.

More than 40 candidates have been certified to run so far in the recall election and put themselves forward as potential replacements for Governor Gavin Newsom should he be recalled when Californians vote on September 14.  But every eligible voter will receive a ballot in the mail starting in mid-August, so the campaign is well underway. You may already be seeing commercials and getting mailers from the various candidates. Those demanding that Governor Newsom be recalled are painting a pretty dark picture of California. But Governor Newsom is trying to portray the state in a much rosier light.  For more, KCBS Radio's Doug Sovern was joined by Bob Gardner, longtime Republican strategist and San Francisco ad agency veteran.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some candidates have their campaigns for presidency planned out before they can even vote.  For others, such as General Eisenhower, it took a little Broadway magic to coax him into the race.  On this episode of The Echo Chamber, we bring you a special election episode – filled with a closer look into some unknown, and perhaps surprising, facts about campaign songs and how they have helped shape presidential history. Special thanks to David Haven Blake, Cheri Burk and Juliet Cesario, Paul Christiansen, and Bob Gardner.  And to the archivists at the Eisenhower, Nixon, and Ford Presidential libraries for their hard work and dedication to preserve this important campaign material.

project here with your host Dr. Ken Brown I'm Eric Rager and a course I got check project you check your egos at the door and nothing's off the table this is episode number 13 Doug Brown with that number 13 I miss that music bandwidth we actually had to travel little bits we missed last week we did a rerun on that one but I love that music and get my little metal groove I'll never hit him like a word and have some fun today yeah you know it's it you remind me of that you say you miss at music the music that I remembered when I was younger on Thursdays was cost show but were not going to be putting anything anybody's drinks so just mean you great way to open the show will will be, oh boy you will about sweaters anymore is it stepping out about sweaters so let's let's touch on that last week we've been trying for two and half years to you to get to the Institute functional medicine shall and this year we got our first chance to be a part of it I would say it right being Trond Teal trying to and that we were joined by Mike Logsdon and I think the three of us unanimously decided that not only was a great exposure for trying to heal we connected with people that have been using arch on teal for a long time and on top of that I think that we found a lot of new fans who just basically wanted new explanation on how much until could fit into their practice they love the fact it was less expensive was all natural solution for bloating and a course in Canada we can say IBS and Joseph say afterwards a I BSA but not BSC and obviously is IDSA but it was what you think I thought that the exposure to that level of really involved in caring practitioner was cute well so we the I FM this was the international IFN meeting we been trying to get in there for a long time what I learned from that was holy cow there are a lot of very smart doctors who are now adopting this functional approach because the system that we have right now are we just treat diseases it's breaking the bank lately it is a broken system that needs to feed on itself so these are a group of doctors that have flown in from all over the world and there are trying to help people at the base level so that we don't have to get to a point where they're being prescribed opioids or whether being prescribed this were to do this thing and so have a booth there without trying to and then have all these doctors that already knew about us was such a cool experience speaking of all of those positions that were there think about some of the other people that were there talking about their new delivery systems or for instance Carolyn Krishnan and just so everyone knows we can do a quick reset writ right here if you don't mind last week we did have shell so because we were on the road we didn't have the ability to do remote show because we were doing a completely different set up that being said Ron Krishnan of mega spore or actually it's like bio lads the makers of the megastore is a fantastic probiotic and we ended up doing a recording which will be released later this month of thus interviewing with Charon those kinds of innovative minds that's what's all over the IFN it's new ways to deliver health and wellness in a savings to the patient using in most cases natural approaches and they work they have science that backs it up is really super exciting that was so cool so first of all thank you get on yeah for taking us to have future results with amazing Peruvian Asian fusion restaurant and we just had a blast we did and I love being around like-minded people and entrepreneur who's a scientist she's a microbiologist in his training when he came to the house we did the podcast he kicked some crazy knowledge absolutely phenomenal as to why you should be using a spore based probiotic and not a traditional probiotic based on plausible science replicated in the lab that is what is amazing she is all about will that makes sense let's test he is a researcher first entrepreneur second and that's kind of the model we have outrun to you is because really we've got some science to back it and that's why we developed it and that's why think were gonna be able to possibly work together to really help a lot of people using the combination of the two dad hates he says he's pretty amazing in the way that he talks about science it's like he's talking about a friend oh he's just I mean he describes the you have to listen to this episode because it's so into it that it's so cool but we come from bacteria make no mistake about it yet and we have lost sight of that and we have developed a world that kills what he calls the whole mobile which is a term of never heard is a real rain forest when you take out the canopy things die and we have systematically been destroying our own God given reason why were here which is our micro bio and were all about the microbe I'm also talking about polyphenols talk about probiotics protecting Mike by Marissa said he just came out I just saw that yesterday where they were looking at how the micro biome affects aging if you have a healthy micro biome is an anti-aging situation then and it set in really when you start digging into the science that your Acheron and now is butchering his name so Chiron uses to back up where why spore-based probiotics are not only more efficacious but actually more natural and then you begin to look at how the micro biome itself benefits from having a spore base probiotic make its way to the: it's it really the mysteries no longer mystery it makes sense on why you need to care for that for your body and your you're basically a vehicle for bacteria and if you're keeping them healthy and happy you can be healthy and happy it's the signals we talked about what we've always talked on the bottom of this we talked a few episodes ago were in TCU they did the study with injected people would like the polysaccharides and they show that the new information created impulse problems the lead to anxiety all kinds of stuff please brought up LPS that's exactly what he talked about was a better marker remember that instead of just using C-reactive protein and other markers to find true long long-term information in order to find out if you could heal the gut LPS was a better marker and you could speak to distant is that something that current practitioners through traditional medicine are using no traditional medicine does not look at LPS I do have a science article today were really touching a little bit Because when we talked about the leaky got leading to leaky brain right well I got really cool article just published this month 2000 19 June 2019 will real look at how CBD and a cannabinoid like Endo cannabinoid called PEA actually some really cool science on that and that's what we always come back to bridging the gap or to trying take some science and bring it over here John was talking about that the whole time because this doesn't make sense why people are doing this with probiotics when we should be doing this because this makes a lot more sense we want to ruin that episode because I think it is one of the coolest funny nerdy episodes were we get way into it because just like you talk about he talks about the spores like there is little baby that he loves those things yet he does and you're right we don't want it we don't want to spoil that episode because we will release it here in a couple weeks however today on today's episode we have an incredible guest who's got a great journey and his story on how he got to where he is today that's Lafe Harrison now currently he is an executive for director of operations for licks and all and we know quite well from that but he's got so much more depth than just somebody who who lucked into being in a frontier industry in fact one of the coolest things about Lafe and the fact that he's in the hemp industry is this is a man who has a military service in the Naval Academy was in Annapolis he was trained by the Army on becoming a parachutist he's got tactical training not only in the Navy but as a civilian he worked at Boeing am I gonna ruin his whole biography will let him do it but the man has got lots of exposure from the military from a large corporate structure and now working in literally the wild West of a very legitimate industry which needs legitimacy absolutely and that's one of the reasons why we have teamed up with election all because I really think that they are just a step above everybody else we've had Joy Beckerman on that they brought on and she is a procedure and policy expert Christmas song with the marketing he's been involved in that a listen to those two episodes were to have Dr. Paul Blair onward and talk about the science PTSD and all that what we have with Lafe is this business background really smart guy coming from incredible background to say no you need to legitimize this because this is real it's not going away and people need this we talk about healthcare dollars we talk about functional medicine CBD is not going away and we just need legitimate companies producing great products without question so stay tuned life will join us in the next half hour and well let's see here real quick paying the bills go to love my tummy.com if you weren't at the IFN conference and you would like to learn a little bit more about our 2011 my tummy.com/spoony use code spinning say some money and you'll see everything that Mike Ken and I talked about bollard in San Antonio that I have him and we will definitely be back next year that was a fantastic get to that was really cool but seriously I want everyone to commit to this please go to that website support everyone because the supports spooning the supports functional medicine supports upfront Hill which were also doing research were teaming up with the board meeting all kinds of stuff so love my Tommy.com/spoony SP 00 NY last thing

friend whose son is he was a bull rider suffered a brain injury and has seizures now so this is completely anecdotal I don't want to make a huge claim here but however is been struggling on what's the correct diet recipe for myself not have these issues has a neurologist that he sees at Wichita Falls and he recently began using KB MD CBD just last night that mom that dad that young man let me know that he doesn't go anywhere without his KB MD CBD now and he doesn't have nearly the exacerbations of his seizure activity absolute love that loving source like that these are real this is not a subjective oh I filled out better this is not a placebo effect is somebody that has objective data showing that they have improvement in something not a disease claim ever get so scared about saying that but what we did learn from note get on is that you can say what it helps but not the disease so if we can decrease neural impulsivity which leads to a seizure sure that's that's really the marker

and years and I finally got like my first cold/I don't know what it was bad in years and it's fun so I did not go during the proliferative stage of the virus I made sure that I secluded myself forcing happened on a Friday and I could, hide and let that go but then come to develop the bronchitis afterwards and had to go to a show right when you talk so Nate spurred recipe that we were in beautiful San Antonio fry FM over near it was held at the JW Marriott great little air B&B we stayed out that was cool like right off property so that was me that was nice you can schedule the wrong day so little funny story to the sum of what you tell it because I'm a little embarrassed so I'll throw it back to you you can describe what happened so basically can you tell me that Eric I'll meet you down there I'm flying to your driving or taking equipment down and I did it when checked in and then I went to the location where the home was forced to stay and I rang the proprietor and just as you said I should she's incredibly friendly and she said hey how you doing as I can find to this is Eric reinstate your house he said yeah yeah can't wait see you tomorrow and I I will that's cool because I'm here today and she couldn't of been more accommodating she laughed she got everything ready within an hour home was beautiful so we had that we had a great stay but she was able scramble around everything up and running if you've never done a home share things like Uber I mean the RBL air B&B are both super easy to use and huge house very comfortable and not really expensive for is using for to consider the Princeton hotels under them no because we were correct eventually got you a few people be you and Mike it was pretty funny because that's what happens when you've got two people that are busy doing a bunch of other things and just sort of all you have to put the place yes okay doubled up on you move on and so it probably would be better if we just had somebody to be handling that kind of stuff for so yeah now it's okay if the Internet well out turned out perfect and so we went to beautiful San Antonio like I said Johnson was also a great dinner we had a wonderful time that's a joy to my training so I'm I'm very fond of Sen. that's where I met my wife that's all that stuff so going doctors always find a lot of people there but that was a great great conference I was awesome while I was there quick update on the family Carla actually had a tennis tournament and she killed it in Dallas in the Dallas area she won the whole thing so she started to really hit stride right now really proud of her and you know she's realizing that there's a lot of both physical skill but you in tennis you really have to put the mental with it because Rother alone and she's really hit your group right now and band were to be having some national tournaments coming up with both kids are now playing on the national level so I'm very proud of Carl she did awesome Lucas appears we go through a growth spurt because he did actually nothing just slept the night I don't blame you Lucas and good Alcala network so and then of course myself to him with cold and though you know Lloyd is basically has to make sure the kids get started so how about you guys not everything on our home front is great breeze business sat with her wellness Center continues to grow and Doug Gage had day 17 had his wisdom teeth taken out I guess it was that you have days ago and he's recovering but he's doing well maybe we expect good things I think it will be back to his normal self by about a day or two and then nab Mac we had at several so yard turn in early summer that need new sod around town around Decatur so Mac went out after basketball practice on its was Monday and Tuesday and basically he's visit by he's in a new entrepreneur is nice walking home with 200 bucks a day throwing sod saw death that is not easy I did that when I got my first home in San Antonio so he's pretty pumped about then the little change in his pocket and dad not enough time to spend it's that's the best way to do it and for 15-year-old it said it's not too bad there that's awesome that's awesome now that's it that lets you like the removing all Midsummer that's cool we quick shout out to Melanie Avalon and Jen Stevens because I did the intermittent fasting podcast again love going on their show had a great time talk about all kinds of stuff I want things that we did hit on which I actually had a little research was the carnivore diet told him about it well recordable diet it's basically meet nominate me all right and while doing some homework on that you actually pointed to Jordan Peterson out to me right you how did you find Jordan Peterson and the work he was doing originally actually it is this attribute to gauge gauge is a big he just spends his time reading about different things all the time and he finds Jordan Peterson to be somewhat interesting just as a personality himself just so happens that Jordan and his daughter I believe suffer from his daughter deftly suffers from some autoimmune issues that they should be the most outspoken person with this correct Michaela right at sadly that's her name and so she and Jordan both had at least some type of autoimmune issues they both reset decided to go and try to carnivore dad had been reading about it and according to them they don't have those issues anymore and I think he's 18 months into it or something like that it's around that time on I can't member exactly but I have heard his interview on Joe Rogan and a few other different podcasts where but Rogan is 16 at the most disease has the longest format and it's really interesting to hear someone make that transition I love vegetables I love fruit so I don't know if the carnivore diet is for me did you see the Joe Rogan Sean Baker one the orthopedic surgeon that Stu the carnivore died as well now I know he's quite outspoken also not really on Instagram much but I've seen that he's pretty prolific and basically showing that he likes meat he likes meet similar thing where he went his orthopedic surgeon really smart guy is doing strictly meat is eaten quite a bit of meat so I have my first patient we had a long talk and we tried a bunch of different diets still struggle with some stuff and so I put them on the cardboard I've lost two weeks he feels good really yet so my knee-jerk reaction would be no way like everybody else like every other diet that's out there is a traditional doctor you look at this and you go want what Haley oh no go oh well that's kind of interesting sure OT don't know now Tito I tried you know I'm mostly pale Leo tried Tito I'd I it's difficult for me to say on what I do and we talk about this on the podcast so that comes out next Monday I believe all IFP yeah yeah intermittent fasting contest that she generally set next Monday which are all this but the problem is that a lot of people do like I do his dirty Quito you think your keto in the new country and ruin everything and I cannot screw your base are screwed some things up doing that so we look these different diets will the initial reaction is oh the carnivore diet that's crazy needs bad apples meet your: the John Wayne died with 20 pounds beautiful whatever clearly untrue and there are certain primal lineage people that really survive purely on meet during certain times of the Inuit Eskimos for instance trying to not eating vegetables now it's just strictly meat and then Sean Baker had some examples of some tribes in Africa that really only have meat and they are extremely healthy so I'm looking more into it not succumb only wants to talk about it so we got weird into that little bit that's first time I love going on podcast like that reps do little homework I like to listing every single week we trying to little homework we try and bring everybody up to speed and supercharge a little bit better at something and that's just another example looking into it I got my first patient experience with let's see what happens if you try the carnivore diet out there in your listeners GCP or you know someone has to choose an email I'm really curious to see what it's like in and what that transition is like and how do you feel how long did you do it what is it like it when we talked at Quito diet and doing dirty Quito I can certainly relate and I didn't realize I was relating in the same way out after I come avoiding carbs and avoiding sugars but something that I wasn't taken into account was was offsetting some of that by consuming probably more protein and a should have and you could probably speak this if you over consume the protein in terms the protein ratio to the fat body can actually just go through gluconeogenesis and basically use the protein turning circle and glucose he can for yourself out of Quito itself right yet it sounds sounds counterintuitive but Dr. Sean Baker extra possible disease is a power lifter hold couple records at his age group and he got arguments with other doctors were they said no you and enough glycogen in the muscle to do this with the fact you write on the protein the amino acids and then you for glycogen in the muscles that's fuel so people do Quito but they take to too much protein in and then you actually stored glycogen in your liver and your muscles and then when you work in fact you when you and I were fasting we did a little experiment with you where we were actually working in between patient oh yeah and we did the we have a keno mojo we we checked your ketones right Cheetos were up blood glucose was rewriting yet again 958 some around there and I'm okay let's try something once you do a bunch of squats that and what happened I think to check the glucose again was it 10 minutes later and I was at 76 to correct yet you go to slop in your teachers with relevant Burly ketones is fuel and immobilize some of the glycogen right muscle and so a lot of this physiology takes place and people don't realize that that's actually going on I did remaining in technical ketosis cadets .5 I believe on the Quito mojo hundred percent and so one of the things is to direct you just burn some key tones or did you mobilize like that I think will build both probably length and selection of stuff goes on the interesting thing to have motivated by intermittent fasting just the idea of it and you know this most days that only consume bacon and eggs for breakfast and so I typically stay in moderate ketosis in the morning until we finally get to lunch past the first half-hour was really fast holy cow I got so much more stuff to talk about placing a hopping but we didn't get to the to the study and and I run it by him and see what he thinks and I trust some of the new doing that but anything to add before we take this break I just want everybody to take this break and go to love my tummy.com/booty yeah yeah he should totally do that because it's the summer everybody wins there nothing out of some orders I will be back with Lafe Harrison here in just a moment say to get a project episode 13 Dr. Kim Brown here a host of check project with my cohost Eric Rieger Eric Regency and mojo guys over there and overhears Billy talk about our 20 over bloating I've seen in my practice that I'm trying to is a whole lot more than just a floating product yes it does a whole lot more than just exploding because the polyphenols that you find to and trying to get your exactly right the polyphenols are those molecules that we find in the Mediterranean diet it makes vegetables and fruit very colorful what are some of the things these polyphenols do Eric these polyphenols can actually stop in formation help you have more energy thinking have you antiaging and polyphenols are great athletes it sounds like it's your health: more people than just loading tell me how everybody should be taking out front if you want to go so 2002 capsules

number 13 and we were talking as we close at the first half-hour about fasting and then I had asked Lafe don't say anymore because he chimed in and said I tried some of that fasting and I was going to think how long did you do it was like for five days like I dig that was really hard and he said no I did one that was how long 40 days and 40 nights that is was it is at the Daniel fast which was no that was just the irresistible call by God the fast route yeah so I just did some quick Internet research on like how to even attempt it and I settled on it was all water with a little bit of organic fruit juice in the morning in a little bit of organic veggie juice at night and I just ran without the hallway 40 days Yep that's the longest everybody doing it… Looking back on that this probably maybe four years ago literally not possible without God really I don't think I don't think a human being can just sit down and knock it out of the room while did you have a regimen of prayer that you are doing with those yes Ramadan the way that the that that is done yes I think it was probably to three times a day I had some note cards of prayer said it written down in advance and I just work through those with with issues I am my family were dealing with at the time we just work through that the whole time that's amazing there is when you look at fasting it's in every single religion really if you look at it oh yeah but in the only person I can remember this even come close to as long as life is that Rita Marie Scott oh that's right she went to and for the almost the same bid the same motivation she went and she went to a rosary uncle resort but is basically a place that they facilitate people that are going to do long term fast and they give them coaching they give them support they make certain that they don't have to move too much while they do it and make sure they have water that are hydrated but she member she said she did four weeks five weeks something like that did you have a die off. Her some. We went through like a keto Fluor that stuff the people to also I don't have any terms for it but you go through multiple stages during the whole process so my experience was probably about every 45 days you would switch from one aspect of it to an entirely new one and so it started out with incredible headaches and then those past and then this is my understanding I don't know if it's valid or not but it appears that may be there are a bunch heavy metal stored up in your body and that in the course of an extreme fast they are there being released and hopefully flushed out but apparently they tend to then collect in the larger muscle groups so you go through things like extreme thigh pain extreme back pain that type of thing and that's the only correlation I can make the why you get those kinds of pains but then again over the weeks of the fast they tend to be the focus and then they tend to move on from that you really selling this like I said it's not something that can be done on your own in my opinion so this is yeah holy cow identified a fast you get a water fast days I've done the prolonged fasting mimicking diet I've done fasting in my opinion is the greatest life hack you can do that what you did is like Navy seal stuff that is that it's tough it's my opinion it's God inspired and God supported so I don't think it can be done on your own and for the for the scripturally sound people out there I'm well aware that the Bible does speaks to this is not something you brag about I only share it because that was just a process I went through and and maybe somebody else can relate to that no is an incredible journey having a need and I don't think you're bragging all the interest it's an experience for so yeah know you're being very honest headaches yeah muscle aches half can only do it if I focus on prayer now that's I mean I think that that is there's a lot of people that need to reset and I I do the fast I fast for the five days usually around trying to do it four times a year and I find a lot of habits that I've developed that I go oh my gosh that's more of a habitual thing of having that snack or having a glass of wine at night or whatever when you start paying attention to it one surprise at the end I did need to come off it mean when I finally hit the goal I I could've kept going but I stopped but I wasn't expecting a part while it is that is that is very impressive and you said a word I like is reset so it sounds to me like life you you are inspired to do it and you had your own motivations one of them that you didn't specifically mention but of course the body being a temple it would only make sense what type of away from the spiritual benefits what type of of the body the improvements did you notice at the conclusion of the fast did you feel healthier did you sleep better did you find maybe even during the faster began to just have better periods of rest and in clarity as countries I don't know that I can speak to any of those specifically know what little reading I did on it leading up to it and then try to kind of understanding it after all all that happened was it you know if if losing weight is a goal of your fast then I'm under the impression that you really don't want to be in caloric deficit more than about 300 cal per day when you're doing an and at that level you tend to compensate for that deficit your body tends to burn way more fat than switch to muscle for calories when you do an extreme one that sort of 9010 ratio becomes more like 50-50 and so you you take hits across the board so it it literally came out to I think I was 39 pounds lighter after 40 days 39 pounds right but a lot I lost a lot of muscle mass in the process sure yeah I'm it's a sacrifice though for you for going for going through it to me nothing like that comes easy but I do think that there's a spiritual reset there's a family interaction reset this did you do with would with your wife was as you will know I I told her in advance and then we as I just I told her it just kept feeling this Paul and this not preoccupation with it but it just wouldn't set aside and then I I targeted the date for the future it started but I was just like I think I'm just going start now so I just wonder because this would be all you know I do know what was common and that would affect you know the family for a good six or seven weeks but I basically just started about a week or two after having it come top of mind and just did it that's impressive because limits are what I've had. During those five day fast each one had different issues but it I want to I wanted to date three you like to get them done you know I want to know this is I am hungry definitely did you go through so both Eric and I experienced there is a hormone called a Rex and that when you get to a certain point your body is telling you to get out there and go do something did you have a surge of energy at some point day for day five of the first know but I appreciate the people would do shorter fasts go through experiences like that so I think mentally I was in this for the long run but to the best that I could be so I wasn't thinking a bit in short chunks plus I was dealing with the fact that sort of various kinds of pain were coming and going up that would really absorb a lot of the moment but I do know that people do three day five day type runs it's almost F it's almost like a runner's euphoria but there's there's there are things that can kick in during that time's up that can make a pretty special and it's hard to access those other ways is not passing because mentally your body your body knew that it had to do this is the reason why the sexy chicks and it's it's it's an evolutionary thing where if you're if you're part of a tribe and you need your get food you haven't had food by day three or four you get this surge of energy and we all day I woke up at 1 AM and started cleaning the closet and it makes sense because this hormone kicks in as it says look you get you need to get food you need to go get a surge of energy when you get beyond that when you get into a longer fast that ends and then you're actually in the starvation mode you actually went to a starvation point yeah what's also interesting is you think about people lost at sea all kinds of situations you know civil unrest something where one food and water become an issue the really do seem to be some hard stops and hard stops tend to be like three days max without water or your you're in serious trouble but you could go 30 days without food and so I don't know I'm sure most people are prepared to try to do that but it seems like physiologically you could do that if you had to while that's just impressive but super impressive and it states and ended not so much the faster the duration it's the commitment did that life was able to put himself into seems aware of your background which is really cool and very clearly or very mentally strong person but you don't own it you say no I can only have done it with prayer and through God yet it was a it was a irresistible Paul was never something I thought about it just happened in that about two weeks later decided to just go for Noah to be more like you from now on I must start with this also to stand up for second look at as an irresistible pull here is an irresistible pull into your quick picture taught that ritualized picture because I would be more like life well Amazon just launched a brand-new thing at the connection started yesterday called Stiles snap and you can look at here is a picture of late that I just took their and then Amazon will build your outfit for me it's called style snap somebody has to find out so I can get there you go Tommy Hilfiger sure I can get from Amazon so basically my wife's been trying this for seven years and was left except that I get some genital pants and I will look exactly like yourself it's called style steps interesting so Amazon has not been very good about breaking through the clothing market assault news article on it yesterday they're just about to walk around the city and be like that person looks cool take a picture and then just order the whole outfit to your house right there I don't know if that's cool or creepy as hell's creepy that mean it is cool as a Tinker that said I could see me at day seven looking just like that be like my muscles my head hurts screw the sun what if you take a picture of somebody who's really really stacked now it doesn't show shortages has a bunch of waits for you to order a treadmill or something like that awful mail through a blender and some protein, videos is very sweet lady might sit in while we will be attacked this week's research topic must do this I so ever so weak we always I was trying to pick up something that's relatively new that I find interesting and most of the time it gets really science you really geeky so I try to dumb it down but this is really cool because a few weeks ago we talked about leaky gut and a lot of my colleagues in the traditional medicine space they don't even acknowledge we can get them say that we can get exist they say that there's no intestinal permeability we really do know that there's a lot of evidence out that the article we describe that time was leaky gut leaky blood brain barrier right now we have some evidence that Alzheimer's and dementia can actually be caused by intestinal health so this article just came out it was published in the inflammatory bowel disease June 2019 very recent very recent and what they actually looked at these researchers some really cool stuff that comes out of the UK and they looked at its action one article including two different studies one an in vitro study which means they do things outside of the body in a lab then they use that knowledge to piggyback it on and in vivo study in the in vivo's when you look at humans and you look at certain and outcomes so this is really cool and what they looked at is that we all know that the tight junction in the intestines it's a selectively permeable barrier you have to be able to absorb and take in calories and you know enforcement, fasting a lot of people with a lot of intestinal disease were they fast you really don't want to because they're not actually absorbing all the food without you taking it right so in addition to CBD that we always talk about right there are other endo- cannabinoid light compounds in the definition of them and we talked about that like Bridges owns one of them right but another one is called PEA or Powell toy less than Nola mind and this is an atypical and a cannabinoid possession found in foods was found in soybeans some found in eggs in our body X produces it it increases your own endogenous and then my levels and it actually binds to certain receptors so little sightsee but it makes sense of this article looked at CBD and PEA PEA is one of those molecules that depending on how you want to use it but it is an entourage molecule so it actually works together with CBD in your own and a cannabinoid system so they have shown that PEA can buy to something called PE part alpha which is just a receptor similar to an end of cannabinoid receptor just keep that in mind. So this group had previously shown that inflammation actually causes an increase in the permeability of the intestine so these guys are on the forefront of leaky gut and have always been on the forefront of this they looked at how CBD in previous animal models could actually help this may publish this big meta-analysis looking at animals on how CBD and PEA can actually correct leaky gut based on this they went down this path and this is the study that they are she just published so when we had to don on the show he geek out like crazy and he deftly did this is my digging out because this justifies a lot of the stuff and why a lot of the reasons why all health begins and ends in the why will become sicker as a society I am working some of that crisscross article that you have it that you got from him and it makes total sense so the in vitro part of this is that they took intestinal tissue human intestinal tissue and they soaked it in these inflammatory cytokines so these are cytokines that your body produces when it's exposed to toxins specifically like TNF alpha interferon gamma and things like that they showed that this inflammation caused an increase in leaky gut and they looked at these very specific cell parameters were they could show oh look this size of molecule came through and they did it in a very elegant study so is this tend to be outside molecules penetrating or inside materials leaving so what they did is they soaked the tissue in these inflammatory cytokines and then they used immunofluorescence to show that it actually was going through from one side to the other so inside to well technically the inside of the lumen crossing the barrier into the inside of what ever that they had this case it was just another medium but it would normally be crossing into the lemon appropriate where your body would react to it so essentially what you're saying is the particles that shouldn't have been making its way to the bloodstream are now being sampled by the lecturer in this piece of fish priceless first time I've ever read an article recently looked at this and said leaky gut does exist when you cause inflammation this actually happens okay so then they added PEA okay the molecule that is cannabinoid -like receptor that is found in a full spectrum hemp product so it's going to be one of the entourage molecules that and they showed that the PEA markedly decreased the penetration of these modules I good so then I said okay will that's objectively try to cool so then they blocked the receptor the PEA binds to copy part alpha so they did that with another molecule the leaking us continued continued impressive so now we know so we sit there and we talked about where's the science in the CBD and cannabinoid industry there's people like this publishing this and nobody talk about this absolutely amazing because they said okay look it's Dr. then we blocked where it works and it happened again development I saw then they added CBD this also markedly improved the permeability stop the permeability then there able to bind the CD1 receptor and it happened again okay so they get a molecular model where they showed oh this is what is happening it actually prevents leaky gut this in my mind proves a subtle level that inflammatory markers alone can create intestinal permeability or leaky gut but now we have a mechanism but I can tell my patients like this is why I like to use these products and the symptoms that you have we now know that when somebody comes in and they got bloating and that hurt to get a bad diet a highly processed diet and they say things like I have brain fog I feel fatigued I've developed Hashimoto's I've got this we know that you've now open this gate in your body is reacting to the outside world specifically to be reacting to bacterial components to antigens things like that so many of these people this is how I got into talk about CBD the first W. Soucy in such incredible improvement sure I don't really know why you're getting better now we have a reason why don't you feel like at these levels of validation in terms of discovering what the NOAA I'm sorry but the mechanism of action is in part is is one of the key pieces that universally the hemp industry just needs for the validation and actually it's not even about the hemp industry that could be the diet industry could be anything where there is applicable beyond anecdotal improvement it's just how do I piece together the science to show that what were doing is going to actually work I think that we can do that with studies like that when you study like that were the plausibility of it makes sense and these guys clearly are deep into the weeds in this kind of stuff this is your passion and they've Artie done that analysis on on animal model so they Had a pretty good idea look we just did approve it on so so then I kicked up a notch in the same paper which is fastening which is basically two different study right and it is pretty fascinating then I decided okay this is cool know if you believe us let's see what we can do in humans so the same group took 30 individuals and gave them high dose aspirin aspirin in itself can actually create it's an inflammatory thing we know aspirin creates ulcers I'll see people commit with G.I. bleeds and know their own aspirin as per the some good things but also increases intestinal permeability okay so the way that they prove this is that they got people they gave an aspirin and then they did what's called a lactose mannitol test it's an interesting old test that mannitol is a very small molecule and it'll go through MB absorbed the depute out lactulose is a big molecule and technically you don't absorb it and you'll poop it up tonight if you have intestinal permeability that lactulose mannitol ratio comes closer so you start peeing some lactulose out night so they get aspirin until people start P lactulose so that was pretty impressive yeah want a good baseline for coming things down I think I followed that I like that they did references, funny they did reference other science articles as to why they use as principles other things in the reference a few trials in Europe were people try to give them straight micro polysaccharides which is bacteria and people and subjects of the so all of this is not an ideal test at the close of you gets up like this so what they determined that they had leaky gut and what they determined that they were peeing out this lactulose they randomly this was a randomized placebo-controlled trial gave them CBD PEA more placebo okay now they did give a pretty high dose of CBD at 6 mg and PEF 600 mg per day yes per day and admittedly said there was sort of rescaling given that docent sure happens they try to base it off some of the ratios that they soaked the tissue in in the first study but they admittedly say were just trying this to see what happened they didn't they did have a placebo-controlled though they did have a placebo correct so they were able to show that the addition of CBD and PEA dramatically reduce the lactulose mannitol ratio okay so in humans they showed that at least with this particular test leaky gut improved they took it one step further these guys are mean it's like it but I would publish the first part sure been eureka and they do this one and the lightweight I wait for it right let's take molecules which of the exact size of bacterial life policy okay without causing sepsis important so they found these text rents called FB for nifty 10 which II just I love science minds work were somebody just goes let's get the exact size because the size thing right and if it crosses then we know that they're going to react to the lie proposed record of the to react to the bacteria these happen to be very similar to the size of E. coli and I commend what sucker with the other one was basically very common G.I. pathogen okay that we would actually act both CBD and PEA reduced the FD four and FD 10 transfers well so people were paying that so they're using it like a lactulose mannitol test and why this is relevant is because this is the first time in humans that two compounds have a mechanism to repair mucosal induced wiki that's impressive and they believe it's through changes in the tight junction receptors and something called optimal Warren three in the ileum I'm not her that I've not heard of it either as it turns out aqua porn three is something that in Crohn's disease gets upregulated to try to absorb more water so you don't get dehydrated so insight it's a mechanism that the body knows that the got is inflamed and you want to absorb more water so you can survive longer as you can go three days without water or if you have too much diary of that old new depleted share of the 30 days with food so it's an incredible mechanism that you can't beat mother nature yet it you you give it you give what the body needs it's going to do this so what they theorize that this is why it may be really useful inflammatory goddesses so in my space this is an incredible find where we've got did I get a lot of Crohn's and colitis have got a lot of the people with that I can at least look at them and say look I think that this might help because of this mechanism when you look at the research with mega spore biotic disease claim you're talking about mechanisms the mechanism makes sense and many of my colleagues on and believing that God so it's very hard to actually talk about hey I want to tell you about a disease process and then I will tell you how this molecule that you probably don't know anything about is you help and this is what were to get into the next half hour you know that the whole process of how you sit there and educate and where people, and that's what Lacey did to get a great incredible background but how do you educate someone on a benefit when they don't even know that the disease exists that's out white noise that we are talking about so well they forget to go through your your history and how you got to where you are but just we got just a couple of minutes what do you think since you are a director of business and the hemp industry when you hear new levels of validation for the application of hemp products and it's not it's not just subjective this is object of data what does that do to embolden the effort of education in and around CPD yeah I think two things come to mind one is thirst just a vacuum waiting to be filled bigger than we can imagine for science backed argument for what's going on that many many people can just anecdotally express but don't know what type of context or framework to put it in in the number two it's communication there are so many people waking up to what this seems to be and in doing so few sources to go to and also buyers in the CBD market needing a eight 1/2 a a simple message that resonates that speaks truth above all the noise in the market that is confusing it and probably in it in itself based on a lot of nonsense it's it's difficult to explain but it's just stressing that everybody coming in and taking a look needs to be brought in in in a way that that is anchored to truth to the best of our ability so that they can make the best decisions for themselves and I think that so what we I am a graduate student that helps us and she send me articles like this weekly she's like talk about this on your show this is really cool and this is a thick thick thick article so every time I talk to people my colleagues to traditional MDs go there's no science behind it like alone on yeah I got thousands of articles looking at the site you just haven't taken the time to do. Not a drug rep show up and go here's the detail piece we have been Pavlovian training that we should look at anything unless you have lunch in your that is that is the truth so that is going around up this half-hour going to be back here in just a moment but looking to bring back some context behind Lake Paris and see all in just a couple minutes this is the only 24 hour take anywhere platforms

800-218-6473 Dr. Kim Brown here a host of project with my cohost Eric Rieger I've seen in my practice that outrun to the whole lot more than just the bloating product yes it is a whole lot more than just exploding because the polyphenols if you find in all 20 waters of the things these polyphenols do Eric these polyphenols help you have more energy and polyphenols are great it sounds like it's your health: more people than just loading go to let my tummy.com/welcome back we are now going to start the second hour of getting project episode 13 I'm joined by your host Dr. Kenneth Brown nonmerit rigor and today's guest is Lafe Harrison he has quite a journey to his current position as Dir. of business operations for election all and dad before we get to life just need to remind you that if you would like to grab your self some are trying to heal gotta love my Tommy.com/spoony use the code's many safes and money that is power packed with polyphenols happens to be the only NSF certified for sport indicate over-the-counter product for IBS and bloating can't but is that mean well that means that we have done rigorous testing on it so if you happen to be an Olympic athlete a college athlete or somebody wants to make sure that what you take there was a recent study that just came out yesterday on how they were warning teenagers lots of increase to ER visits were teenagers returning to weight loss products and sport supplements that the finding lots of nefarious ingredients in their pharmaceutical stuff and that's NSF guarantees that none of that stuff exists and so that's outcome if even if you're an athlete's polyphenols can help you recover they increase nitric oxide to the muscles and they get rid of reactive nitrogen species and reactive oxygen species is Quickstart you know last week I have been there were two physicians that deal with athletes and A's they saw the NSF Marne moniker which doesn't always mean a whole lot to everyone but when you're with athletes it matters to they came up and they said that's really cool that you have that that means that we can use that and I didn't know I knew nothing about NSF until I was contacted by the registered dietitian it was on staff from the Oakland Raiders and wanted to know if I could sell them in bulk Sinatra and Teal for them to distribute amongst the coaches and the wives of players in a civil what about the players and he said Wiley if you not NSF certified is not anything that we can do with it and that's really went through me and I learned that they have a collective bargaining agreement with that includes the recommendations from physicians and dietitians that work in the MLB NFL most NCAA sanctioned whatchamacallit schools they have to adhere to NSF or for cleanliness and the other thing we are such a geek out little bit the polyphenols and are trying to do something really cool related to the under cannabinoid system to assure that is well basically you have your own endogenous cannabinoids that your body uses to stimulate your ECS and it just so happens that FAH is one particular enzyme that breaks down those Indo cannabinoids where they are supposed to function and if you are light in your polyphenol intake that enzyme may be a little bit more reactive than you need to be and so your ECS or your Indo cannabinoid system tense not function at its optimal level so having enough daily polyphenols can actually enhance the ability for your CBD both the oil you CBD you may be taking but as well as your endogenous cannabinoids to work better so one of his recovers and is absorbed this matter until one of the reasons why we teamed up powered by lexical KPMG health CBD is because they do everything right from the beginning to the end soil to bottle there they have certificate of analysis and we have our guest today at Lafe Harrison who happens to be the what is your official title Dir. business development director of business development and his pathway to get there it is really interesting yes it is and what you find out when we get through all of this is that a company like… All is really finding some very intelligent very well-rounded people to bring some legitimacy to this industry which really although it's been around it's been referenced since Chinese medicine 2400 BC or whatever it is a retard little little shows right now it seems really fairly new and there's a lot of people out there, the wild West and so they tracked a guy like you down and working to go through setting one of the cool things is your background we talked about your 40 day fast in the mental discipline and your calling by God to go ahead and do that that shows your character but where you come from I think is absolutely amazing so bad now so you filled out a questionnaire like we ask everyone to do and you were born in Phoenix and then I know if you ended up in Annapolis and the Naval Academy so you my life tell us little bit about what that would drive you to join the Naval the Naval Academy and and what that experience was like in the 80s while this was the 80s so wasn't exactly spoke I was Piccoli without the marijuana I actually grew up in the Midwest in Ohio but believe it or not a group a competitive sailor from probably age 8 on and did well enough that by the time I got through high school I got enough accolades to actually draw the attention of the sailing coach at the Naval Academy and at the time they were like multi-year NCAA champions so minus the sailing well is probably it was probably accommodation two things I got me and one was a sailing one was us is right in that sweet spot of the Reagan Lehman Navy build up for the for the 600 ship Navy at the time so they were just allowing more people in sure and caress you a quick question because whenever people come on the show like I'm two years ago we had Robo on Mike how did you become a professional rodeo got how does one get into saline and like what you start with that right so my dad was an extremely gifted mechanical engineer and through a job change to Ohio he got surrounded by other high-end engineers who were actually in this very high performance sailing world and so they sailed us one type of boat, 505 and this boat was very technically demanding and so for an engineer who could like to tinker on at the same time that's what his draw was but the ask my parents became very good sailors and then I just brought in that world 24 seven whatsit 505 is that calico catamaran or it's it's actually it's metric so it gets stands for like really 5.05 m that was the length of the boat it was just called the 505 but was very similar to some of the high-performance boats they would say looked in the Olympics at the time and so you didn't like start out like when you find like when people become Formula One race car drivers a start on go carts in the work… As you do so there are there are many different kinds of boats to fit many different kinds of of capabilities and goals and so you can really progress sort of graduate almost like you know tadpole to admit oh you know all I can and going up the dolphin you don't get your badges along the way sailing is a lot like that and then coincidentally at the same time as when windsurfing was born so my folks again just happen to be at the right spot where there were less than maybe 8000 windsurfers the entire world this is right at the beginning in the mid-70s they had them so I learned how to do that at the same time so I was almost parallel paths and then again by the time I got to high school I was good enough to you know finish well at national championships and things like that and then from that unexpectedly get the attention of the coach of the Naval Academy and the next thing I know is essentially I did just well enough on SATs and all the other requirements everybody else had that I the opportunity to go that is no joke Naval Academy is a me when you say that it's just immediately total respect to me that's that is an impressive place to get your education without question and then so your expanse the Naval Academy were you on our competitive on the sailing team for all four years are yet I did it for 3 1/2 3 1/2 years I decided to snow last semester to shut it down but it was it was her it was a that was some schedule I mean so if you go from being sort of spy coleus in high school okay right to then bang your on the other extent other extreme of hard regimen hard academics hard hours commitment me know I was probably between it's between academics and sailing I be like you have a few hours a week you know to myself we talk about it with our kids you're your son's age of 17 he is looking at colleges my sons a competitive tennis player you start realizing why when you choose take that scholarship to a college it's a job and no matter what it is was talking about it he went and did rodeo in his college yet in your dislike I don't care if it's football sailing rodeo no matter what you do and that's a job gets a job yet rated the sport probably took 35 to 40 hours a week just on the sport while my goodness what so your experience the Naval Academy beyond the sailing your degree you math I got about her science and mathematics that's fantastic and that not being a about whether brought under looks all right your math acumen I don't think they say that well I had so bit. Probably a lot of your experience along the way is the reason they brought you on and I know when your Naval Academy you you did become a parachutist and so what did that entail what you were trained to jump from planes and what kind of training that right so part of the professionalism the motor professionalism you undergo at the Academy is are you sort of summer experiences that are required so if you think of a normal through three months of summer they fill it up with two in terms of various kinds of training depending on what grade you're at the Academy so one of the summers generally one of those two months that you have to do is set your aunt ureter on a ship or you're getting a variety of sort of worldwide naval experience of submarines aircraft the Marines all kinds of things very cool but the other month is more elective and if you could pass the required tests you could do things like go to Army Airborne school at Fort Benning Georgia where the soldiers go we could get scuba training or jungle training in Panama there were all kinds of things at that time this is your electric playing going to be in the jungle to raise cool man was bowling so you see you selected to go to Georgia and jump on a plane what was that like it was okay I mean notes the Army way so they took three weeks to teach you something you can learn in a week so just in San Antonio where I said that we were just there but I did my training and so we would have to rotate your fellowship at Wilford Hall and Brooke Army base and totally cracked jokes like that the whole time on each other generate yeah it's inevitable it never stops so it's funny because you know you go through this training and it's you know it's the Army world and you just have to play ball for a few weeks but it's also the same training that that seals would go to after buds because it was the only sort of real formal basic parachuting school to go to like the Army would send their rangers to her their airborne guys to that type of thing those guys would just stand there and laugh the whole time I mean the Army you know sergeants running this program they didn't even know what to do with them but this is just some boxer seals had to check it out to her for those guys standing around and you wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole but you know you're just trying to like that with the young soldiers notice these other kinds of guys out there and

Star Wars: Battlefront II comes out this week and a lot of people are already playing it and yelling about it on the internet. A significant number of fans don't like its business model and progression system, and it is letting publisher Electronic Arts know it. On the GamesBeat Decides podcast, host Jeffrey Grubb and Mike Minotti got together with guest Bob Gardner from Intel to talk about Battlefront II, EA, and the most downvoted comment in the history of Reddit.  In addition to EA, we ask what in the world makes Nintendo think it will sell 25-to-30 million Switch systems next year. The only possible answer is Pokémon ... or China? Who knows, but that's a big number. The Decides crew also sorted themselves into Hogwarts houses after hearing the news that Pokémon Go developer Niantic is taking that license on next. We also dive into some tidbits about new Hitman, GameStop's Xbox One X sales, and the sexiest phrase in the English language: "recurrent consumer spending."  Here are the games we talk about this episode:  The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (Switch) Rocket League (Switch) Doom (Switch) Super Mario Odyssey Divinity: Original Sin 2 Star Wars: Battlefront II Assassin's Creed: Origins Factorio Fortnite Stellaris Magic Arena Banner Saga The Witcher 3 Nier Automata

Bob is born blind, and his mother dies in childbirth so his deaf but godly grandmother raises him to age 11. Then he goes to a school for the blind. He meets another blind boy and they play and sing country music together. They record a song that sells millions, and Bob goes to California where he squanders his money. He returns to Chicago, teams up with his friend and they do well. He meets Francis in a restaurant, they marry but he doesn't change. When she becomes ill he prays for her. People invite him to revival then pray for Francis. When she's well she goes to revival and is saved. He ultimately receives Christ, leaves his singing career and joins the staff at PGM.
