The story broke over the summer in a British podcast — which Nancy and Sarah listened to, and much preferred — and they zero in on the story's different presentations and ethical tangles.

Trump's nominee to lead the Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, is facing scandal that stems from a 2017 encounter at a Republican women's convention, and the details are … confusing? Don't really add up?

One of the super-cool things about being a journalist is that you can contact people whose work amazes you and say, “Come on my podcast!” and they almost always say, “Sure!”As did Michael Powell, one of my favorite journalists working today, currently at The Atlantic and previously at The New York Times, where, during the height of our national meltdown (aka 2020 to 2022), Michael took on subjects many of his colleagues and others in media would not touch: DEI, Title IX, and using identity as a scythe to cut down those deemed not the right color or gender or whose whose views were opportunistically seen as problematic. “We lost our bearings,” says Michael, who kept true to course, and to say his clear-eyed work made me feel less crazy is an understatement.Of deep value and delight is also his 2019 book, Canyon Dreams: A Basketball Season on the Navajo Nation. I felt as though I were living inside the work as I read, and I cannot wait to see Rez Ball, the movie it inspired and which opens September 27.Also discussed:* The explosive DNC protests that weren't* COVID would cool down the culture wars, right?

But first, they discuss the utter failure of media outlets covering the missile strike on a Gaza hospital, most likely a misfire from a Palestinian group that was initially reported as an Israeli rocket because, well, Hamas said so. We hope the journalistic fails of the past week prove a corrective, as there are grave consequences to misreporting when the situation is this hot.Onto beauty and wonder! Namely the release of Killers of the Flower Moon, the three-plus-hour Scorsese adaption of David Grann's 2017 book, which Sarah and Nancy saw on opening day.

How did she do it? Weiss has a “WASPier version of chutzpah,” as Meltzer puts it, and she somehow managed to survive the “Girlboss gotcha” purge that ousted other female CEOs.Also discussed:* The verboten intimacy of people's make-up rituals* “Emily the super intern” on “The Hills”* How is makeup actually made?* #girlboss blah blah* The higher the pedestal, the longer the fall* The “zest for blood” that was 2020* Which actor is making Marisa hornier than she's been in a while?* Nancy's energy fields* Breast milk soap anyone?

Among the things I learned reading Sophie Scott's fabulous, super-smart and sexy new book, The Brain: 10 Things You Should Know: The brain itself has no feeling, I could be poking your exposed brain with my fingers (though I wouldn't!… I don't think) and you'd be like, “Pass the salt, please.” That everything we experience is the brain's best guess at what is out there. And that while your body constantly renews itself - the lining of your gut in 2 - 4 days; all your red blood cells in 40 - there is one and only one body part you keep from birth to death."I am also interested in the expression of emotion in the voice, especially laughter,” writes Scott, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience and director of the Institute for Cognitive at Neuroscience at University College in London, who joins me to talk about: * “The good glue” that is laughter* Why left-handed people pay attention to the world differently* “Synaptic exuberance,” or humans' terrific inventiveness and flexibility in adapting to different environments, all of which relies on our brains' ability to change* The endorphin rush that made Scott fall backwards into a bath while attempting to take off her coat* The reason my brain once created the sound of a hard hat striking cementAnd much more!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah dive back into the faked death of romance novelist Susan Meachan, thanks to journalist Ellen Barry, who did a deep dive in the NYT. After learning details of her (actual) life, do we have any more empathy for Meachan and her seduction by and escape into Romancelandia?Next we look at the scandal around Andrew Callaghan, YouTube star of All Gas No Brakes who was hit with allegations of sexual coercion on the eve of his HBO debut. Nancy is suspicious of the timing, as well as the request for money from one of his accusers. Sarah thinks this kerfuffle raises good questions about coercion, alcohol, and sex. They both found Callaghan's four-minute apology video like a bingo card of social-justice catch phrases.Also: Why can't we stop talking about sex with dead chickens? And Sarah gets dinged on Twitter by someone accusing her of “agreeing with the boss' wife about Justice Kavanaugh.” Nancy is confused. Isn't she Sarah's boss?In the bonus, it's onto (into?) the new reality series MILF Manor, which Sarah is mainlining and whose title Nancy can barely bring herself to say. The journalistas took the “Are You a MILF?” quiz. We reveal who scored higher, what's in our hotboxes, and news about upcoming live events.And speaking of events! Nancy and Sarah will be appearing onstage with Meghan Daum and Sarah Haider (of A Special Place in Hell) on Thursday June 22, as part of the University of Austin's 2023 Forbidden Courses event. Despite the name of the university, the event is actually being held in Dallas, 7:30-9pm central, at the Old Parkland.For full episodes, go to our Substack page: https://smokeempodcast.substack.com/podcast

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy has been enjoying the audiobook of Harry Windsor's blockbuster memoir, “Spare,” but Sarah thinks a more fitting title might be “Spare Me.” They debate the controversial figure of Prince Harry, grieving son in a golden cage but also emblem of millennial entitlement and empty social-justice activism. Sarah has a problem with the ghostwriter's heavy hand, while Nancy has a problem with cruise ships, which becomes relevant when the terrific film “Triangle of Sadness” (which takes place on a boat) prompts a debate on 21st-century American masculinity. Do men still know how to build a fire? What about fixing an engine? And just how manly is it to get frostbite on your penis — and is that even possible?In the bonus: We discuss the life of the late Lisa Marie Presley, who grew up as American royalty, and how far (if at all) she was allowed to fly from the golden cage. Were her marriages to troubled men an attempt to help the troubled father who died when she was nine? Plus, we revisit lustrous moments from the Golden Globes and — again! — Sarah and Nancy disagree about an award-winning film.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah watched the Harry and Meghan series on Netflix so you don't have to. Actually, they never finished it, but that doesn't stop them from having opinions. “I'd rather watch an hour-long ad for Purina cat food,” Nancy declares, while Sarah is still processing how the Prince was first drawn to Meghan after seeing a SnapChat photo where she'd used the filter of a puppy dog.Then it's on to the Golden Globes nominations. Sarah and Nancy disagree about “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” Sarah rants about not liking “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and they clash over the value of shopping malls. Debate for another time. The Golden Globe noms did have a few snubs, such as season two of “Reservation Dogs” (which Nancy raves about again, and not for the last time). And no female film directors were nominated, notably Gina Prince-Bythewood for “The Woman King” and Sarah Polley for “Women Talking.” But what's up with these lame titles? (See also: “She Said,” discussed on episode 44).

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comNancy and Sarah talk Thanksgiving turkeys — both the actual food, and the items we could do without. After killing off some sacred cows (Nancy's looking at you, Brussel sprouts), we delve into She Said, the movie about the New York Times investigation that helped bring down Harvey Weinstein and launch #MeToo. Despite Oscar buzz and critical acclaim, the film tanked at the box office. What happened? We talk escapism, the bore of righteous cinema, and what a braver movie would have included.Next, we turn to the young grifters among us, who sniff out exactly what we can't resist: Saving the world! The multibillion-dollar collapse of Sam “what's a washing machine?” Bankman-Fried and Elizabeth “I don't blink, I really don't!” Holmes have become riveting dramas, satisfying that need we have to see false gods brought low.Then it's on to our new bonus feature, a subscriber-only portion of the episode where we talk the power of the pussy, what's in our hot boxes, and what we're grateful for this Thanksgiving (besides stuffing), which includes you, dear listener.

Cut into cubes and toss with poultry seasoning, salt and black pepper. Melt one cup butter in the biggest pot you have, heavy bottomed preferred. Dice 2 yellow onions and a half-head of celery. Toss into the hot butter and saute, stirring occasionally to avoid scorching, until softened and with some brown bits. Add the giblets and liver, finely chopped, you've simmered in your turkey stock. (You did that right? If not, chicken broth works perfectly.) Some time during this process chew on the turkey neck you've also simmered, causing your husband every year to say, “I cannot watch you do that.” Toss the bread in the onion/celery butter, add more melted butter if it looks as though it needs it, moisten with stock or broth until it has the moistness you like, remembering that it will get moister inside the turkey. Yes, that's right, you're baking the turkey stuffed, don't listen to all the health freaks, just make sure stuffing is cool before you stuff the turkey. Also make sure there's a gigantic mound sticking out of the neck cavity. This will get deeply brown and crunchy and buttery from the basting. Cook's prerogative to break off several hunks and eat these immediately.She Said, by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey“‘She Said' Bombs: Why Aren't Awards Season Movies Resonating With Audiences?” by Brent Lang (Variety)“Harvey Weinstein, Convicted Rapist, Gloats Over ‘She Said' Fizzling at Box Office,” by Elizabeth Wagmeister (Variety)“The Plan to Make Harvey Weinstein a Hero” by Megan Garber (Atlantic)“Former Harvey Weinstein Attorney Lisa Bloom, Angling for a Hefty Payday, Now Faces Fraud Allegations” by Lloyd Grove (The Daily Beast)“SBF: The Virtue Was the Con” by Lane Brown (New York)“They Lived Together, Worked Together and Lost Billions Together: Inside Sam Bankman-Fried's Doomed FTX Empire” by WSJ staff (Wall Street Journal)“Moynihan Taught Me,” crypto edition (Vice) “Elizabeth Holmes Is Sentenced to More Than 11 Years for Fraud” by Erin Griffith (New York Times)Bad Blood by John Carreyrou“Humiliation is part of the punishment for Elizabeth Holmes” by Stephen L.

Nancy Watson's entrepreneurial spirit has led her on different paths, always toward nurturing other people. Her 8-year long career as a teacher in disadvantaged neighborhoods in Chicago in the 1970s was interrupted by a 2-year stint as the contented owner of an antiques store. Cooking became Nancy's outlet for dealing with the demands of teaching, leading eventually to a large-scale catering business that she owned for 25 years. At age 60, feeling like she was aging out of that industry, Nancy opened a B&B in Southwest Michigan where she enjoyed connecting more closely with her clients. Now Nancy can be found on  Florida's gulf coast where she lives happily with her third husband, David, engaging in cultural and social events, being physically active, and still offering her gift of food. I love nurturing others, whether through teaching, antiquing, catering, lodging, or volunteering. - Nancy WatsonConnect with Nancy:nsw29cook@gmail.comNancy grew up in Highland Park, IL  #SitDownAmerica

week awesome the one of things only try with you okay right now just I realize I think one of the things we should do is continue to grow intellectually okay you know that I like to read the daily stoic every day they always have quotes from scholars Jeff Solomon read you a quote but I want you to tell me which scholars said this okay this sounds hard yes it's gonna be really difficult okay I am probably in the sky flying with the fish or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons see my world is different I'll give you a hint okay who loves lasagna oh is this this is God belittling this little why I should've known that now yeah yeah I know that's good he had a real Jesus movement sounds like lasagna I got in real Jesus move in silence like lasagna yeah man I got as deep on lyrics sure that's funny so what do you what you are going on as best we can mass past weekend was the beer I have a stuff like essay on repeat but where were back into into basketball and hip so that a couple times I have said that 12 times the exact I know no doubt and debit actually this last Sunday because of basketball the boys missed they miss their traditional celebration with with mom so Marie and the boys went drove I went drove vast electric go carts which we are introduced to backhaul crewmen knock her out in California I think you may miss that woman I want to go with them in thesis racetrack called K-1 and I have one now here in Dallas and that means great they loved it K-1 the one that so I did one when I was it I was given a lecture at ECG I went to the morrow and ready one and it's it's basically a tract that has light turns that little beat dips up the down it's not just a straight flat what was this one that is deathly not flat but I don't think it has any bridge volley or anything else I can think it's all routine S-curve about it but it is deftly technical and of course the boys and Marie came back and they send in one's great number to their surprise at the max speed limit is 45 and Max said my youngest he said that's scary scary dad but nope I really want to be out jet when you were almost tight turns like that oh yeah yeah for sure so the great Mother's Day no not typical but really not typical she liked do I do things are adventurous so that was that it was deathly fun for them speaking of carts do you remember when our good friend Russ ironic Dr. Veronica San Antonio which were to be seen next week sure he called into the show when we were talking about Lou Gehrig's disease and you know the effect is that dying of that right one of his good friends their son was a go Carter like always the child became really good when on the circuit and now like races for Porsche no way is like a 18 or something cool scratches will tell Mac to stick with it just seemed it seems so hard and I know it's it's a career pathway that I'm completely ignorant to I don't know how they how they get to that point where was someone said when I want you to drive for my team even though I'm pouring millions of dollars in this car in for a crew and equipment etc. that just seems it seems while was not sunny like okay you look it's you wonder how people end up in certain sports like for instance Tim Duncan was when he was a swimmer yeah you know if Michael Phelps didn't jump into the pool what would you be doing in certain countries they certainly communist countries were back in the day when they would find Olympic athletes they would like looked like you you're to be a power lifter based on X, Y, and Z user to do this I don't know yet so that give you a Tim Duncan is doing now no I believe that he has been training as an MMA fighter post-NBA career no way I yeah I'm certain I read that somewhere but yet that's that's what he spends his time doing is its MMA training etc. mean so from awesome swimmer if I remember correctly story about Tim Duncan I don't think that he I think that he really played competitive basketball until was a very late team and then went on to and he and Junior hide in play and then he did start planes like his junior senior high school maybe I do it one time I don't member the whole sword hung up as I was we lived in San Antonio I saw San Antonio and I had the David Robinson and Tim Duncan team and they were just an incredible team to watch so focused individual for sure how you know what I did not tell you crazy story so you knew I was in San Antonio two weeks ago the family okay I taste funny story sup with a family and we use over and lift whenever we go on vacation it just it just takes away the anxiety of having to wonder where you can go and even though you may be familiar with and it was a town just is easier nobody can hop in a you joy your conversation you go out to eat happen to a new girl after something some kind of rideshare something like that well after one of the games we often do one of these ride shares and were going back to our hotel which is down in downtown San Antonio which is going through a great renovation of of Regent application and it didn't do a lot clean up I mean there's cities do that they Evan flow and San Antonio is kind of on the uptake right now so it is starting to really kinda come together but we stayed at this new hotel that just open nothing months ago and were making our way down the road and the traffic jam begins to kind of near Jack is bottlenecking because there's construction and we see seal vacationers tourists like to know what they are what parts on a cousin over in downtown will probably like Riverwalk area area now, probably like two blocks away from Riverwalk itself where where we are on the car but you can see tourists making their way to the Riverwalk area and I believe our hotel backed up to it so about 2 1/2 three blocks away from our hotel's hotels nice really nice well so on one side you see tourist making away on the other side you see where the the economic developer has a quite started but it looks like to get some preparations forward to redoing the road and there's just a group of just random folks I'm okay and one gentleman grabbed my attention because he stood out and is wearing on the tour side are only not on the terrace okay he looked like he knew where he was but not everyone else really knew if he knew where he was whole and he had a tie-dye shirt on and it was his kind dirtying in and tatted me up that happens on our tattered tatted but that tattered and I hit on some camo shorts and lots of keys like EEE can probably open up most of the doors and Senate just like on the changes this is a big ring and a Dave they look very noisy I can tell of it was that was an alert bell that he made for himself or he really had access to lots and lots of places but since we this gigantic ring of keys and he's kind of looking at some of the key master from the court or Ghostbusters it doesn't really matter and at this point he's looking it away and were stopped in traffic which is bottlenecked as a red light and he's, looking closely cars and then kind of checking them out now and I'm still not thinking too much of it but I did I just noticed you like holding keys up to I think this will work to put my name in there now it it it what wasn't quite like that but then suddenly he just decides to make his way in there's just these two trash cans there's a black one as a blue and but that they are identical and in shape and whatnot but it's the big metal was a kind bow out there there meant to be on the sidewalk easy for passage and you throw garbage and it will he walks past the black one with intent and then dips his head down into the blue which was the second with complete intent and he's only in there for half a second because he reaches in and he grab something right away so he it appears to me he knows this is in there and is he brings it up he's holding a handle and he's basically shaking off will looks like trash can juicer trash can do what I want to it's it's it's a really really rare fruit but and in most urban settings you'll find this this trashcan fruit in you and then you can squeeze the juice yes you can always squeeze the trashcan or as later my my my family decide that I think that's just blood because what it will hence was a no go was a hammer it was about 18 inches long and then he picks it up and looks at it turns it from side to side glances that all of the cars and then sets the hammer down and put his hands on his hips and so the key master of San Antonio yes nothing happened was trash Nancy standing there and then all of a sudden he just bypasses and realizes that he remembered where he left that hammer he said I guess he was in the marinating and I'm not really sure what was going on but it was read it was really interesting because then I found myself feeling like a fish in a fishbowl I we hopped out I don't know what we do and why is he looking at our car was he looking at the other cars what to do with those keys once you hammer how do you know is in there what's that juice so anyway I just I found myself wondering what puts someone in that situation but he had he had no conversation with anyone around it is probably 5 to 10 people walking passing by and then is he just kind of zoning out scanning vehicles watching them bottleneck he just decided well it's time on going to go ahead and pulled his hammer out and he didn't go and do anything with it he just stared at cars every set it down and then kept staring at the hammer and then staring at cars and then finally we moved hello you guys in traffic I saw is bottlenecked seriously in any way we we've gone from two lanes down to one but finally the light turned green and slowly we made our way and have I was happy-seemed like a bully expecting Russ to call in again like this will go much so here in San Antonio you know hammering like little back story here because words do filled in that or just maybe he's looking for a second nails I don't know he's looking for something it's given given the door to open given some construction project to do he's ready he's ready to build really quick that it's funny that you brought the goober live thing because on the news this morning they were talking about how certain industries just disrupt everything what we know that with completely disrupted the whole transportation sure catches whatever everything well because of the Over and lift drivers now in certain airports will do this in certain places this whole article came out about how at the Washington airport I think with the Reagan airport Washington broom lift drivers would get together and they would all turn off their apps for two minutes and what that would do is in the algorithm of bring with okay it would show that there is a lack of drivers in that area and increase the fair yeah so they were genius they would all do it together at the same time so that they could increase their fares you know how it says oh fair increased high-volume time it's a really highborn time that you have a lack of drive right and so they all get together it's technically illegal in the Buber and lift driver handbook handshake whatever it is the cheater there been other things that happened in Newbern lifts the would that be considered price-fixing I'm here 100% is considered price-fixing that means what would it be on the action of the other drivers are doing I'm just curious because their action at the one putting in the algorithm for the fair increase it's technically over and lift or any of the others who are doing that they are there calculating it by their scarcity so these drivers are just on their there free to turn their phones on and off the other actually saying that what the will do that but here's the here's the quote every night several times a night to relive drivers at Reagan National Airport simultaneously turn off the rideshare apps for a minute or two to trick the app into thinking that there are no drivers available creating a price search when the fair gets high enough they all agree it's time and they turn it back on so they probably are just sitting there searching to see what the cost is everybody sit there waiting and it's like old hold go to Braveheart and that's nice now that's really interesting but I mean if you think about it I mean that's that's the access that's it's the loop all right that's what everyone does they find loopholes they find it the path of least resistance there thereafter to make money I mean that's some of them that's that's their job that's just but it drives me nuts because I mean you know I've been to let conventions like that like natural Expo West or when thousands of people suddenly walked out of the building with some massive conference and you go to that group or a new light the fair just quadrupled oh yeah just coming that's nuts we've been that even the Lubbock and so I've gone out there to either sport and I met the one driver low but by the way the wind so I I've been out there for for game day now for it to take the ball game or even basketball and when it's not you want to take an Uber you can go from one side of town to the other it's very easy drive people drive friendly at their it's super super easy is never congested you can make one side of the other in about 10 minutes no matter where you are there may be $10 at most but on game day you can easily see it going just from being at the campus which is around the 4th to 19th area and then head over to 50th you may see the fair as much is 35 bucks just to get your going to meet people for for dinner whatever after a game but yeah that's I always wondered that because it's not it's done at the hard to hail the Uber why the fair increases it silly just because you can because that's really what it is why think I think it all comes down to that I think the algorithm sure that is basically there's a load a need or the drivers are being used up the fair will increase I think is to incentivize other drivers that are on break or whatever to down and out to get out and do that and I don't know I've never lived under the rug she had friends who been in between jobs and it's been it's been great for them to be able to supplement income is really some I don't know do do Cooper drivers airlift drivers get like in an alert that taxpayers are increasing they wanted turn your the cab I don't owe very much like John Wick with the assassins when the yeah they tell about the alert's time it's time to go back in business and help in my car so what what is happening in the Brown household at the moment well we got kind of proud of Lucas tonight he is being inducted into the national honor Society who is nice this is interesting right over here in Colleyville which means I don't have to go to farm and hang out here just work here in this lovely Fort Worth area no joke what I meant drag a five minute drive yeah it's nice for you Lloyd is complaining that it's at 5 o'clock in Colleyville and like to meet you there it's so proud little guy doing the title of the Internet and, she's she's been Judy named Shiva name to the list man so the school this public school the school that Carly goes to has some really smart kids and it is very proud of Carla she got always wish of this presidential award right and they gave always other awards and this is it the school goes up to the eighth grade and one of the awards that they gave was the when Duke invites kids to take the SAT tips five tips are some general but it's the real SAG that I get in there put the same pools although the high schoolers they had at the school seventh and eighth graders they had like 12 of a score over the 95th percentile 95th percentile compared to high school senior US why probably US white while yeah that's why I'm so proud of of my daughter for you and straight A's in school that is academically extremely competitive wow well that's that's just a curiosity so I your and your oldest Lucas he's been doing home so now for this last year so that he could do the touring that he needs to do for tennis house that has a working out for him both working out that's why were doing this over here it's actually considered great by public school but does everything online) it's just because of his schedule it's just one of those things you can't miss is what schools he doesn't so great I call it was actually pretty well known throughout Texas for their curriculums that's really interesting they seem really innovative account on top of it it's a little so far it's worked really well in ways they don't like it and that's also siding the usual stuff so I think next year when he goes to high school he's going to try and integrate himself a little bit with some of the extracurricular type stuff but there's something that will and in that makes sense though so he can be he would be involved kind in the club activities of people his own peers and have some more social interaction but it's not like you didn't have any this last year he's got on me I hear you bring it the same names over and over again that is a tennis cohort said he sees on the road Weatherby from the West Coast or down to Florida he just sees them sets kind of his colleagues the moment it's pretty much the colleagues I mean everybody get out to some of the basketball menu guys do is run these different circles and sure you know you just end up becoming friends the parents become friends know the boys liked (different ages notes it's the beauty of life just can't get yourself exposed to get out there little bit speak of exposed your boys are not should say speaking of exposure that's all that is all right yeah well I was always dance up that I had a great time seeing your family at generosity feeds once told him about the man Ronco blending while huge contact that we met out at dead baby bathwater and note big shout out to Hollis Mladic for knowing exactly who to who would include net group so ill for the listeners Dr. Brown here is he doesn't say to himself as one of the most altruistic people without ever saying it and basically we took the company they were starting here we have that I don't have the sick as I have it tattooed on my lower back but debit for the CBD and the research and are trying to heal we always want to find the best avenues to give back to the public and sometimes weekly letter window when we do it sometimes we don't but this last week it was really cool we get to talk about a little bit because it took a lot of pictures and his generosity feeds and Rocco Bundy with mod pizza they go to a lot of different urban areas I think almost every weekend and they recruit people to come in and pack meals in this last Saturday it was Saturday Saturday yeah we we packed 11,000 meals for needy children in 44 minutes 44 minutes in the DFW area what something I did not know is that one in five kids the only food that they get is actually at school in certain in certain urban areas because of the the lunch program that's the only meal that they get so that they may go the whole weekend without food that's what this is for us to stick food in their backpacks so that they can eat there was a really cool thing and actually when I was even also equally impressed with was the quality of the ingredients they were pulling out to make those suits that were on the go that it wasn't just beans and it wasn't just beef it was high quality beef broth Max etc. they they want to feed the kids a nutritious meal when not to say hello a look we give them some rice the complex Caritas like that you have the protein you've got a the rule base for the libido fat that's awesome was I totally agree and pack and that those you are doing doing charity like that once in a while just remind you that there there are people out there that are quiet but they may not be getting the the basic needs of life that it was it was a lot of fun Ron thank you so much for the invitation and of course he's he's been a great template on showing us what we can do to engage in more charity getting back with the companies and we we plan to take full opportunity to do so that was a quick half-hour next time I will already already get into a research topic in the next half-hour we had a

sky fly with the fish or maybe in the ocean swimming with the pigeons Jesse my world is different I give you a hint that I said has something to do with lasagna will my wife Loida just texted me and she said with that I thought it was Garfield legal scholar Garfield right you actually probably on equal footing just in two different ways I got the logical thing to say he did a political basis is a lazy cat what you think about that is that is AAA really really lazy cat that made his own cartoon no being that lazy is pretty successful towards Casca but you know you're not lazy I know you have a research topic that you want to get to I do want to get to that but first I want there's some cool stuff that's happened in the news recently I was forwarded an email that House Bill 3703 in Austin patients will now be able to have access to the states medical marijuana program if they been diagnosed with medical seizures multiple sclerosis terminal cancer incurable Alzheimer's Parkinson's Huntington's autism and Lou Gehrig's disease and we we often talk about Alzheimer's Lou Gehrig's disease and autism we talked about that a lot so this is this bill did pass in Austin yesterday I think is what passed those pretty one thing the people were little upset about is that they did not allow PTSD which is honestly very very common but PTSD know that is interesting do you think that what number one the exclusion of it it just this is a unique to the medical field either legislators are elected to make these decisions don't you think it's kind of strange though that probably there's a lack of expert opinion in helping shape things and applied to someone who would have the knowledge to do that you got elected person who has any idea what their background is in essentially they are the ones determining what the best sciences to make a decision for who can have access to something so I had a patient that is a patent attorney and there's some patent laws that her changing and she got together with a bunch of other patent attorneys and other offices and they got hold of the senator into I think I would get this wrong but basically to have a lunch with him to explain why the bill that's presented is not a good one and it will lead to patent issues Robert has a little date they hide stuff and that it cost like $50,000 to have lunch with oh my educate go to okay yeah but I mean what is the money go to the coast to the campaign or to go through whatever but the whole point is is who gets to the person that makes the vote just as make sense it's that's tough and you know the whole PTSD thing that's what my actual article is on but it's it's pretty thick it's pretty cool to get into that but there's a reason why I really do think that we need other treatments for these diseases that right now in the medical field we don't have good treatment for and people are self-medicating all over the place onto a quick story before you get that research his adjuster mommy and I did not share this with you this last week but you know that I do I blocks for another friend of mine now ophthalmologist Dr. Rogers Eckhart fantastic out the mobs by way of indenting so we had a patient who came in older German served Vietnam service country proudly he's basically been relegated to the VA for his his healthcare to get chronic pain my pain issues this particular patient did and he came in with some bad pain so he couldn't get under control and the person overseeing his care at the VA has determined now that he will not refill the OxyContin or wherever he was on I can't protect which one it was a HUD known size hardcode on hydrocodone that he was currently on he's not getting any more because they felt like it it it kept increasing hey base was getting diminishing returns they just are stopping it for a while will basically what that did is it allowed his blood pressure to increase to Heinz where we could do the procedure so this poor man it is relying on the VA etc. he begins to pour his heart out to me says I've gone to the VA I tell them I am in pain and they're telling me that all I'm trying to do is raise the dose I have no interest in quota quote being high or anything else like that and then he went on to tell me something did just Kelly shattered and shatter me when I hear you talk about the marijuana lawn it's great that they're opening up access but he went on to tell me that 3 1/2 years ago he had gone out of state to Colorado with his family and was able to obtain marijuana legally in Colorado and that his pain threat or is is obtained for the threshold I guess technically in his in his description, went up the threshold went up and the pain went down any had great comfort he was able to sleep for the first time and will able to go to the bathroom without issues and so when I hear that and he returns here and he said he was then worn by the VA when he began to talk to his doctor about it if he were to test positive he may be kicked out of the availability to get his hydrocodone here while he still in Texas it just what what kind of service are we allowing these people to get this poor man now he couldn't get his it will be good to scatter so I mean if you stop and think about that this is the problem when I went to medical school we were told you can you have to know one of the five things you have to make sure that you take care of it's a vital sign pain is now vital sign I what is your pain level if you're if you have somebody was in pain you are obligated to treat that paint and we were told that don't worry you can get people Vicodin all this other stuff because is always a real pain there will be no addiction issues that is not true not true at all we learn that one like right now were still learning it that's also excited to see that Denver at least decriminalize the use of soul Sieben yeah because there are trials going on right now silicide is extremely effective in PTSD and you and I had a long talk with Dennis McKenna right and that psilocybin is the actual molecule bits and mushrooms the people described as mushrooms the hallucinogenic mushroom but that civil Sieben really does some interesting neurologic stuff and somebody was a huge part of that is Joe Rogan Brian I was listening to item number which one it was Joe Rogan was on and that they kept talking about doing suicide and in various doses and how micro-dosing is actually something that a lot of people are doing a lot of very successful CEOs are doing so it was with Jorge my hospital is an MMA fighter name in MMA fighter they were talking about where Jorge did some bro science it took a little too much mushrooms is pretty funny episode but I always get back to this we we create this problem and then what would you do is were just going to say no not to give you anymore because we know like almost everything else that you take caffeine included I can have 67 cups of coffee and I'm perfectly fine because I drink a lot of coffee my receptors down regulate the response to which that's can happen with opioids this can happen with everything and when somebody needs more to achieve the same pain level is not necessary that the third seeking more for the addiction property you literally will start having pain at the same dose I have to keep going up and then we withdraw people get into note they go through withdrawal it's a legitimate addiction go through withdrawal and then nearby Gustavus of compensatory mechanisms that basically just like this gentleman was experienced with high blood pressure now we can't his vision now suffers his quality of life is going down because he's in chronic pain he's having to be wheeled around by his daughter it's in she's in tears as were saying it's just not safe to do your eye right now we wanted someone so badly to do it but high pressure hi ocular pressure and blood pressure can lead to a rupture and then he would just lose vision in his eye altogether so unfortunately we had to just reschedule high blood pressure due to withdrawal symptoms distribute an anxiety component to maintain component to it and when you say that you can't sleep sleep is the most important medicine the one thing if I can get one thing for all my patients to do get a good night sleep because so much stuff goes on that heals your body that makes you better while you can sleep so that's one of the reasons why I'm so adamant that when we launch this health box the D had health box you we will make sure the people can heal their brains get some sleep there to have more energy all of it works together if we can get people feeling better definitely and hereby to touch on that PTSD did it before you get to that hinge is one second one more thing on the veterans here's what I think some people forget whenever the federal government prevents us from doing research on a particular substance it's just that means there is no innovation it's really legally allowed to be had so keep in mind that most of the movement for us to move forward to have evidence-based practice or protocols I should say using medical marijuana helping states like Colorado and California kind of set us on the track way were we can start looking at THC and other substances came from Israel because we prevented it from happening here but they were specifically interested in taking care of people that serve their military which is everyone has to do two years over there we should be taking better care of our veterans here they have sacrificed their time and for the most part several years of earning power to simply serve their country and it just doesn't make sense that when it comes time to take care of them in and I'm in a situation where they are in direct need and we've essentially used them as a country to serve us why we turn them away it just doesn't make sense that we did that's that's the system that they have to exist we were talking there is a friend of mine and Rich Hagedorn out of vogue in Omaha Nebraska one from the date he's part of founding member of soldier Valley spirits words they actually get proceeds to veterans so they got their own there making different whiskeys winning awards doing that kind of stuff and they give a certain percentage all the time to our veterans which is cool and it's only veterans that work so super cool I wish to have them on yeah I know he's really really really funny guy super high-energy two quick things on the opioid thing To do so in the news yesterday that a small study came out oh New York Northeast I can't remember see it's not ethical is Mount Sinai I think him on Mount Sinai where they took a small number of people that were heroin addicts and they actually gave them marijuana okay CBD CBD I hope to see I haven't read the article just on the news I want I need to get that article and they it really helped with OP addiction so we got that question brought up in one of the shows about does does CB do you know you always be careful about making claims but when a study comes out because I'm not making a claim I'm referring to the study the study showed that they were able to get some of these opioid heroin addicted people off of heroin using CBD now I did not see it but it does sound incredibly annoying but that's just have to be no topic for a show to follow up with because I don't know but it sounds incredible and just think four years ago that kind of research wouldn't exist certain that stateside no effect on the news director talk and that most of the research coming out of Israel or Canada now now since Canada's the get into a little bit direction looking at it what was the name of the person that emailed you about have you ever heard of narcotic bowels that was David David H LLC last name on it that's what something you give me permission to do but to David and what he did as he specifically brought them into our attention at David thank you this was an awesome email basically saying that articles date back to 1987 and then several of them the NIH has posted two articles on it and then nine 2007 they were even revised in 2017 and it's a condition called NBS or narcotic bowel syndrome just like I Dr. Brown said coming there's a there's actually a lot of legitimate research that behind it and his his claim here is by physicians and pharmacist are completely unaware of it even being a problem but I mean you are you being a G.I. maybe you did know by this moniker but you kinda seem the symptom occur I have I've had a couple patients and you're almost chasing me almost on the acculturation of the Dragon because this is fascinating you can be taking opioids for let's say back pain the motor vehicle accident you get the chronic back pain drawn opioids and a very weird thing can happen this narcotic bowel syndrome actually when you're on opioids it can actually change the motility of the intestines and we know that which is motility you can allow bacteria to grow which means you can have more gas produced and it actually causes something called hyperalgesia so your visceral sensitivity goes up in a paradoxical way song to say this again you take opioids for back pain but your gut actually ignores the opioids and hurts worse so I've had people on opioids and they look like their pain seekers is like my belly really hurts and you realize we could get you off these opioids and that's what I've done with about four patients the whole point was trying get them off cold and in the medical terms called opioid induced hyperalgesia so it's a characterized by paradoxical response people that are getting opioids suddenly now what's interesting is that doesn't just happen in the gut we have a term for there is a possible tapping other places in your body words like oh now this art will all be lowering the pain threshold in other places where what happens what happens acutely and that in hospital course would be blood have too many opioids one of the first things I complained about it it almost always starts with the nose but it can spread out to the body that's the itching you have had this conversation before many times the first thing that's prescribed to them is Benadryl and unfortunately it's not a histamine mediated itching response at all that will do nothing you need to use unfortunately to offset the opioid drug yet to get a opioid mix agonist antagonist did like it like a new vein or something like that to make the itching stop because the Benadryl simply will just stop histamine makes him tired so that it is fall asleep itchy and you not really doing anything unfortunately it can take someone to another state where since the opioid suppress respiratory drive and not being awake actually will drive down your respiratory rate as well that's a natural response that you get rest so it's just a bad combination Ali around when especially when in today's day and age mostly outside of anesthesia trained people the first thing people reach for is not an all an opioid agonist antagonist to handle it when you and I had a conversation first I thought of I was an intern in San Antonio how about 2 AM called by a nurse we give this patient's pain medicines and I was itching everywhere 0.5 Benadryl what he is normally your intern I learned something early on this is advice to anybody that's doing a career when you find someone who's been doing it a lot longer knew no matter what their title is listen little. I've always so we had to rotate with the military in the military you know if you go in as a doctor you automatically going as a captain so your officer right but you do whatever that master sergeant says yeah so I made my life real easy but when I was at the VA in the ICU I would just I would defer to the nurses that were there for 30 years be like you teach me even do a little longer I've been here a week elevating that eight years but you're exactly right maybe we we didn't want us coming up through the anesthesia training I can remember you would have's fantastic scrub techs have done lots more hearts and I had time and they were there great onset of ALU but you just listen to them because they help you but it makes sense so when I first came in the practice of I was doing a lot of L2 lot ERCP's at medical city Plano :-) RCB is yes it's where it's it's called an endoscopic retrograde calendula pancreas talk big sculptors through the scope that you just go down like an endoscope and you go up into the liver and into the Pancras thank goodness it was fun at that time it was that Dr. my partner Dr. Goldschmidt and now we have Dr. Ackerman who are both experts in it so as it turns out it's a skill yeah but the more you do the better you get but is pretty funny because the ERCP team that was there you know I'm your new and you try to act like you know what you're doing and you like to know get me the jagged whatever and something else but you had a thousand hot water so I was always trust in this nurse had he has been there forever and he would hand me the stuff and he's hilarious is from the Philippines get a real call nature and so what you do is you get into the you get into the bile duct and you cut so you can pull stones out and do stuff like that and Moses said I no longer do ERCP skills we got better experts doing it but I'm doing it and I'm making this cut and I look over at Henny and I'm like that's that's good right knee goes I think you need a little bit more and know it in the just red blood everywhere you go Steph was too much but in the next hour trying to stop the bleeding sores like that run like yeah well you ask the experts are there for a reason people to specialize and thankfully they do give enough time to tackle this will I just want to bring up another interesting news stories uncovered were kind of all over the map here but a story just came out today a woman from Greenville South Carolina is suing Burger King because she claims that she was diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome after suffering symptoms since eating improperly cooked food at the restaurant she's asking for $330,000 for medical expenses missed work medication gas mileage as well as public embarrassment excessive weight loss and additional damages while all I mean a lot of different things to think of their I may not obviously probably most fast food I don't want to name Burger King specifically the probably most fast food is not the best kind of food to eat but I think most of us should know that I now what he think well what I think is really interesting to me is that we know that 20% of people that have a gastroenteritis no matter what the cause of right May not a big burger again maybe it was whatever the matter what the cause 20% of them will actually develop a disk motility meeting your intestines will not move very well allow bacteria to grow and then you suffer all the symptoms what is striking is she's been doing this for years was several years before that she said that this happened in she was then labeled as debt as irritable bowel that's lysine clinical the time literally all day long people, no I meant I was perfectly fine I traveled somewhere and I came back we talk about veterans there's a lot of people that when they do a tour someplace else they get sick select 20% of the Dr. Mark Pimentel I still think he's doing the study is doing a study on veterans a comeback and the burden of irritable bowel syndrome people get labeled is actually something fixable and that's how we develop ultra until summer in the story and I'm like I was poor woman just a doctrine to yeah ors I fax and depending on what type of bacteria is an ARM is going to call an audible here I think we had to move your study to that to the next half hour so we have enough time that takes me to another topic one of the places that actually carries her KB ending CBD had a question and she her name is Jacqueline up in Oklahoma and she was asking me what is the connection of why people may suffer insomnia and I'm I know you have talked about a couple different mechanisms mechanisms but also thought about another one I want to run this by you so whenever we have inflammation some a marker histamine right so histamine of courses is something that basically races whenever we have cutting abrasion we have in it an insult we can have history right this minicourse is one of those that works in awake center that keeps us awake so if we have chronic inflammation just like we were talking a while ago when you give someone Benadryl they don't necessarily need it you're blocking histamine they get tired if you have chronic inflammation you have this you have a meta-chemical messenger in your body that circulating that your body is producing being histamine making you stay awake and alert because technically your body thinks it's under distress needs to go and do something about it so until you can basically control and slow down inflammation and get some level of handle on that it would seem yet another natural reason why it would make sense to have a healthy Indo cannabinoids system to slow down the histamine response so the you don't have over information yet and I think it's it's that such is his remember the histamines be released by the mast cell right and that's part of a cascade of inflammatory markers there's all kinds Tina fell for aisle 12 mile 23 all these things were learning more and more about and last week was a little bit before we discussed how when you have leaky gut you can have leaky brain your blood brain barrier action becomes permeable to these inflammatory molecules these inflammatory molecules can then reside in the hippocampus which is your sleep center and you don't sleep well and then it becomes this horrible cycle which many Americans are actually a stress is a good thing acutely acutely rise your body adapts to chronic stress no that's really were talking about we just talked about the gentleman that was that the VA chronic pain chronic inflammation chronic stress that's that's the problem stressors are not bad at all when you work out to grow muscle you if you think hard and then you take of you know you rest and then your brain rearranges but I like the histamine example only because for some people that are new to learning why inflammation may be tied to their insomnia most people have at least either experience or had a close one experience taking something like Benadryl diphenhydramine and they get sleepy it's because you're blocking histamine but it think of the thought about that and I guess with your anesthesia training you certainly are much more knowledgeable about the depths of sleep and the stages of sleep and things like that because you have to make sure that somebody doesn't run away bad bad luck there is that's so funny you're going on this route this morning when I was working out I was listening to I listen to a podcast called health hacker members name but he had his guess today was a MD called Dale Broadus he wrote a book it's all about preventing Alzheimer's so Alzheimer's and dementia is becoming one of the leading causes of burden on the US and death and all the stuff she showed something which is really interesting bit typically in the US we start becoming ill around 40 restart in diagnosed with chronic illnesses in the UK it's around 50 so what he was saying is that we may be living long but are six times longer here which ultimately the longer your sick so if you have chronic diabetes if you have sleep issues if you have all the stuff you decrease BD NF which is a substance that cleans up your brain and what he saying it was it's a very interesting podcast is basically everything you said you need to fix your gut you need to sleep well need to protect your brain all those things that we always talk about because this is the burden it's going to happen if you don't do those things properly and he was talk about doing a like this cog not Skippy the colonoscopy to do a Cognos copy periodically you go in and you check different markers insulin levels hemoglobin A-1 C and things like that in a bunch of others but I thought it was just an interesting term I think your parents called us to be like that we don't think any of going in and having a colonoscopy because now it's normal for everybody at one time it wasn't we should be doing Cognos could be in trying to alter the course what interesting well it's a really cool idea especially if you could tie it back to what the cause was what causation was met with the that's exactly was talking about unfortunately you have pain I give you opioids let's go back to the root why do you have the pain man there is the music hey that was at its first hour of getting project episode 12 in

NSF certified for sports or if you're an athlete and you need your daily polyphenols go to love my tummy.com/spoony and get your daily polyphenols to help with recovery and athletic performance band what is that dead the doctors name from the exit University about about well but well yeah she's got some excellent information on how Pro anthocyanins which of the polyphenols inside about trying to heal actually benefit athletes when taken at thousand milligrams a day so give the doctor it's basically four capsules about trying to predict correct yeah it's so for capsules due to the polyphenols as the antioxidant component I have a new article that were to talk about at some point where it actually looks because there's some confusion about I did talk to a PhD who is doing some research and said oh we no longer think polyphenols because of the pro-oxidant component to it meaning oh does it actually create a lobed of information as it turns out a new article came out the polyphenols are fasting mimetic molecule meaning you get the same effect as fasting which means you to have my toffee G autophagy cell renewal because the six cells go away that's the pro-oxidative effect but the antioxidative ones so once again it comes back mother nature just seems to do better it's really hard to take a concept in a petri dish and reproduced with humans yeah definitely so I'll try and he'll get some love my tummy.com/spoony so Dr. brass P00 and one save everybody's a winner yes so I don't run you were going two to address a PTSD article and I don't want to get cut short here so because we did last half hour ago and that you can stearate will I was little there but first I wanted to this is dangerous this is by no underlings in Chelsea this is a note kind of interesting I want to present a scenario you got me thinking about how you saw that guy in San Antonio with all the keys and he just walked up to the trash cow handout cameraman cameraman and you're trying to do a back story for likewise he otherwise indicates why you will regret it now I doing other things I want to tell you a story and then I want you to tell me the back story okay okay this is an NLP exercise whose Robert Seale Dany Michael Barnhouse stuff yeah signed neurolinguistic programming and what that is certain words or certain sounds are certain memories will create emotions around this time okay I just want to back so I just want to know what's actual happen you sitting there and out of nowhere a woman runs up to another woman and slaps her that's it tell me what happened to me why Tillie what's going on with that scenario well I can't believe you don't remember because the woman that was sitting there had basically commandeered the other woman's vehicle from Walmart and had parked it in the wrong spot and it was totally and the woman came in and did the slapping told her that he I think you forget the you were on a boat in Africa oh that slapping yeah yes that slapping incident yet that was the woman who was supposed to fed the lions but because she didn't the woman he came in and slapped her family was bit by few liens and that she was upset that since the one who just sitting there didn't feed them she basically allowed the lines to go hungry and they went after humans wow that so it's because somebody did not do their job properly and that affected her so she was slapping her out of revenge he has a sad day that everybody was okay but you know it's it was very scary interesting nice boat ride out thinking I would I do remember that so that that is your take if you ask a bunch of people gotten you get all different kinds of sorrows yours interesting with the with the.feeding the lion of the lining to the people that's convinced but yours is a story of basically it's of violence right what really happened is that you are on a boat in Africa a mosquito landed on the cheek and she went over and killed the mosquito because that is a malaria infested area and she saved her life it wasn't a violent act she was actually protecting that woman so there's two things of this number one the neurolinguistic programming your prior history of anything like that filled in the gaps right if you're in that area and you witness that you probably think old the woman will save the woman's life sure because we can't have the mosquitoes passing malaria anyway you told it out I immediately place them into an adversarial role between each other no doubt I was doing a NLP lecture which is with this came up and the guy actually open the lecture with that just I just for listeners I had no idea what he was going to tell me to step down, that you just left field which is all about that leads into something super super cool okay so today the story came out about malaria I and for the first time ever a vaccine is been developed okay so were sitting here were like malaria whatever malaria affects nearly half the world's population and a new vaccine may be able to actually stop us and save millions of lives and malaria is one of the reasons why certain countries can't get out of economic crisis because it kill so many people kill so many kids it's super scary I didn't mean one site and I was thinking about it because the NLP story exactly that with the guy said in the lecture by and then I read this article malaria no like others fits perfect and your data into your hammer man story malaria really is humanity's curse we don't think about it in the US but it kill so many people in fact when you look at the world's dangerous animals like always but homes yes mosquitoes only one yeah mosquito rains me they kill more people because of malaria then every other thing that's out there job and about volunteerism when people go to Africa and they you can take I think it's an antimalarial pill I don't know about it but I know that you basically stock up on it and then you take it and then you go and then one of the most important pieces of equipment is the mosquito nets around where you sleep so that you don't get malaria but before you get really deep in their always wondered of taking care of the few young kiddos who had sickle-cell anemia here stateside and usually not not a good situation and but that being said if sickle cell anemia they think was an adaptation mutation so that humans could survive that's an exposure to malaria epigenetic thing where you're at in the environment your genes turned on so that if if you have sickle cell I wondered is the survival from malaria it does do that offset like if if those same kids were exposed to true malaria with that allow me to have a never and never quite figured out why the adaptation is so beneficial because in most cases not every case but in most cases the lifespan is rather short do you know what is really cool is if you get an international infectious disease doctor start asking questions like that it's really wild especially if they get an epidemiology background as well right so you got an ID that deals with stuff like that and they can explain that's a little bit out of the scope of my medical practice not interesting thought but it's fast and because this up I guess in Afr

Shawn Bryans, VP of operations at Green Tree Medical and Chief grower and cultivator for Okie Herb discusses the benefits of CBD, medical marijuana, the variety of customers from the elderly to PTSD veterans, the new laws and landscape in Oklahoma, and how "Bud Tenders" function to deliver great care to consumers.https://okieherb.comhttps://kbmdhealth.comhttps://gutcheckproject.comNancy husband and wife may kiss the bride connectivity care whenever you need video chatting with the doctor right from your phone so I don't need stitches thank you Dr. United healthcare health plan benefits may vary fantastic second episode of the gut check project and we have our inaugural guess this is going to be a fantastic show on super excited about this I'm pretty pumped also so today we have this is episode number two of the gut check project brought to you by your host Dr. Kenneth Brown and well we really appreciate everyone but Joyce did you know we actually have feedback from our first show actually open content by love people I thought that you and I were just talking to each other the whole time as it turns out some people actually listening what you what you know beyond my mom beyond my wife your wife we actually had some of the people who watch that was really cool hate one of the things that we handle in terms of questions was can I take John Teal and do I need to continue taking probiotics or prebiotic's may want to dress like so there's lots confusion around these terms prebiotic probiotic all the prebiotic is on digestible food source that your bacterial breakdown so fiber is a prebiotic okay so the skins of vegetables and fruits are prebiotic's probiotics are the good bacteria that people want to take into replenish your micro bio the reality is when you're taking out trying to you you don't need to take a prebiotic or a probiotic in fact the molecules known as polyphenols are actually a form of a prebiotic they go to your: the bacteria will break it down into beneficial things so essentially and not to be too confusing but you're basically taking a form of a prebiotic by definition by taking out front feels no it's not necessary to take a pre-or probiotic if you feel better on the probiotic I say continue to take it if you do not feel better than you might want to hold off on that so if last week have your listener and you're curious about arch until you can learn more@lovemytummy.com/spooning that's love my tummy.com for discount use forward/spoony also just a reminder if you ever want to keep got catch up with Dr. Brown and what I was doing has a brand-new website called KB MD health.com so it is only a week old there might be a bug or two in there there's actually a probably a lot of bugs and there have changed and I encourage all the feedback if you don't like the language of going to change the wording is a couple pictures of myself that I would change but you know we have to do what we can do and get things up because that website is there to give information about things that we know that at least my patients are swimming towards us and asking questions about what you have all kinds of information on CBD on got health on sleep on brain protection on everything it just a platform so we want to get up there and also to get access to people to get high quality CBD to get access to upfront you and so on so yes there we encourage feedback hit me up tell me you're not a English major are you Meno English majors yeah me bad at language also so basically Eric and I made this website and there's probably some grammatical errors we would love we learned about it sooner than later I know what you're talking about but I do check out KB MD health.com because there is a lot there's got to be resourceful there's lots of research there is a store where you will find the brand-new KB MD CBD as well as trying to heal and will have other things added to the store as we put research behind yes recent research is one of the things I'm most excited about where you have a guest on today and were to be talking CBD in the cannabis industry and all of that supersmart guy Sean Brian's was just talking from outside not just I love historian you guys gotta stick with this show today because it can be super exciting but one of the things I want to do is I really want to do clinical research on my patients less early research I just want to track the results and were to be putting those kind of things first on the website as we await publication and then once we get published then will go and replace that but anybody go to that website is going to see the white papers first before while they're being submitted for publication way it works you submit it takes a few months this is just a way to get access to things much sooner much sooner last mention here a quick for a sponsor that we had for the show which is down weed is happening now with the medical director of Bridgestone and happens to be Dr. J Perry also a gastroenterologist at the top of the hour you probably heard if you're listening already mentioned ridges own and it was being rented by the late great Doc Thompson so I shout out to Doc Thompson again thanks so much for having us here the team chef Patrick Ron everyone couldn't be happier to now start our second episode of the gut check project on spoony radio so we we did not get pulled off the air last week which outcries and actually said you can come back and do another show I got another shirt is amazing so it's been a week before we jump into all the cool stuff to talk about today what you been up to man for a week it has been a week so last week my oldest son the whole family my youngest son the wife and I took tons of family down San Antonio we live in North Texas if you are familiar that's 5 Hours Dr. S. went and I saw my oldest son compete in the state basketball tournament they did well and dad and after that we it inquired when the whole thing so we decided to take off and enjoy some family time out in San Diego we do know I logged around couple hundred bucks I guess online scooters if you are looking for a way to enjoy an urban environment written lime scooter similar while you heard did you get a chance to jump into one of the Navy seal bug training techniques of water cold immersion we did decide not to do that after we put on a wetsuit and tried to serve tennis: water is not warm at all wetsuit is correct your wet your wet and cold and then you're still wet but we did serve it just got out of there soon become fully we went to do good for you let yourself or even wow I had an equally exotic experience I had to go to which I didn't have to I went to Wichita Falls Texas because my son had a tennis tournament there and my wife and daughter went down to Waco because she had a tennis tournament there which coincidentally shot out to her Carlos she double gold singles and I won the whole tournament love that my son Lucas and I in Wichita if you've ever been there Wendy very very windy candy yet and it was raining so we had tons of rain delays all the stuff I did bring my X.3 bar which you will be writing about this also but the X.3 bar is a portable exercise system developed by a PhD named John Jake wish and I had a long conversation with him not to long ago and he's done some great research showing how variable resistance and volatile bottom line is I sat in a hotel room worked out watch rainfall pendulum was probably as wet and cold as you yeah I without question down if you notice now the Wichita Falls in Texas actually is the region that varies the most from year to year in temperature fluctuation it has the biggest swing I believe throughout the entire state shock about the back me up on this by the time he gets in here but it literally has the biggest average temperature swing throughout the entire state that little region at their out of the Red River and – describe a little bit about what the X.3 bar looks like because if you had never seen this thing is really cool it's very portable it's equipped with bands but has has a resistance motion that you know if you're just looking anything that looks weird when he tried it will wear your ass down since in this actually Dr. Jake which gave me a code so that our listeners can execute a discount on ice just when you go you get it go to X.3 bar.com and then put in code KB MD and you get a nice discount there the other science is pretty interesting I'm mobile hacking this is like one of those mobile acts that you can do show is portable you know there's no excuses for not working out take about 10 minutes and you're done so you break a sweat you will think that you won't but you will break a sweat in fact if you go to the our Instagram at KPMG health is no need to do the resident we need to do this because you can see the big man Eric over here is not doing some curls with the X.3 bar actually got several videos of the X.3 bars so about someone else's biceps to do that she actually had to stop mid workout because he was getting too big yeah knows what about changes wardrobe so that would build fitness shared real quick any other news or notes of any to talk about for the gut check project coming up I can't think anything big of them have our first guest this week but I know that you went to where he works while Europe and Wichita Falls yeah that's right so coincidentally and we Artie had him booked for this I went up Wichita Falls right next to the border of Oklahoma Oklahoma just recently became a I'm to say the word wrong but medical cannabis legal state yes is that term that made Sean to clarify we John. His unit tells all about about what goes on yes I went up there and took a look in our CBD product is in that is in that store it was really cool to see all the hard work that we've done to educate and get things moving and so if you get a chance Oklahoma is one of the new states to start the medical marijuana interestingly enough that I do find it kind perplexing that taxes being such a large state watches the bordering states open up a casino or open up the opportunity for medical delivery cannabis or CBD and essentially date it's it's Texas citizens that more or less come support that industry and I'm sure this will be the same until Texas decides to participate I am very familiar with that because I'm from Nebraska originally were that's exactly what's going on in Colorado once I won the other right I would as the casinos Colorado courses the cannabis industry in Nebraska has chosen to be very strict on that so not surprising to me that a state can have neighboring states with little bit more liberal or differing views sure now I understand well I believe listeners will be going to try to start doing is giving over the format in our first hour so it this point time were going to talk about health news as a relates to the gut check project in KPMG health and you can learn firsthand why I always like talking to Dr. Brown in terms of how he keeps up with what's the latest trends and the latest relevant news in health so this last week and we got a little bit of experience with what were going to talk about but it just so happens there's a lot of research into the fasting mimicking diet and what it can do for you and I'm stopping that you can take over so super interesting a study was published just last week about the fasting mimicking.now with the fasting mimicking diet is is this is developed by a fantastic researcher named vulture long ago and what you do is he figured on animals that if you give a caloric restriction meaning your to take 1000 cal a first end and work your way down to about 10 to about 10% of your normal calories in a very specific ratio of fats proteins and carbs that you can trick your body into believing that it's in a fast and what that does in humans he showed that after five days you turn on your stem cells it actually gets your old selves sick and old cells to just go away called autophagy and so if you can think of it this way your body says okay these cells that are starting to show signs of possible early cancer things like that the body recognizes that goes you go away in working to start new cells so that's the basis of the fasting mimicking diet this was developed and a company called L Neutra has developed a product called prologue to sort of make it really simple for you to have the exact ratio that's have prolonged PR OL ON PROLON so vulture has been doing tons of research and you he's I follow his words Rhonda Patrick follows work through a lot of other conferences he's always going to longevity conferences and giving lectures this time something very near and dear to my heart he just published so out of the University of Southern California USC this article out of cell reports the fasting mimicking diet modulates microbiota and promotes intestinal regeneration to reduce inflammatory bowel disease pathology very long big Boring to title but here's what supercool is basically he took mice he put them on the fasting mimicking diet end date induced Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis so inflammatory bowel disease and then he showed that these mice had decreased intestinal inflammation increased intestinal stem cells they actually reverse the disease and something else is really cool is that they improved the micro biome composition and then he actually showed that it improved leaky gut or intestinal permeability something about this moment we have a disease or chronic disease inflammatory bowel disease if you don't know anybody who has as its brutal this is what I do with my practice all the time but by putting somebody on a fasting mimicking diet you can actually reverse this then he compared that group to a water only fast this is amazing the water only fast did not do nearly as well this is rising I would not have thought that I was completely blown away because I've always I've done I did three fast this year I did 35 day fast the first one was the prolonged one I did a prolonged fast and I could totally tell when those stencils kicked in I just had a boost of energy like you would not believe next when I did I tried to can't hack the prolonged pasture and try to do it using the foods I bought and try to mimic it I did not quite get that boost of energy and then my third fast was a water only fast for five days and once again I did not get that I just woke up at like 1 AM to take on the world and so I've actually contacted the CEO of L Nutro that were extra friends with Joe on Tuesday and him I talked to said yeah because that's the amazing thing we don't people don't realize it the faster mimicking diet is actually based off of true science and animals vaulter did this all he worked out the exact ratio how many days and then after you do this you have to repeat so in this particular group we had two groups of mice one did water only and that group did not do as well the fasting mimicking group had increased the fiddle bacteria and lactobacilli which have been shown to improve so you asked me the beginning of the show what about prebiotic and probiotic I well guess what if you do a fasting. Then your body will figure out what bacteria should proliferate more when we eat it's actually an inflammatory process so every time you eat electrically little bit of inflammation in the gut by giving it a break and by doing the fasting mimicking diet your not only given your get a break but your body goes okay we can get rid of old dying cells get rid of precancerous cells and working to start brand-new ones and is proven it with these mice what is so fascinating to me is that the faster mimicking diet is so much easier than the water only diet I can vouch for that then we had which at our whole company do it and at all trying to I think we have that on our on a page would a blogger yeah I think it's right at a year ago is that's correct and I can I can say the water fast it's not the worst thing ever but it's more difficult the whenever your body decides you need to eat and he had the influx I believe it's called a Rex and it makes you think okay your ravenous and you need to eat and you have a burst of energy simply to go out and find food and I was actually somewhat envious of those who had done the pole on is the control because the and including you that point time did not have the same drive to go out and just eat yeah you are fasting but at the same time your body seem to be tolerating all the better yeah what about fasting I actually after this article got published I realize another article just really got published with a look at the different fasting types in religion and we have Ramadan we've got Jan to pour a lot of similarities to similar with the Daniel fast we have lent which I'm Catholic but not delivered probably should be fasting in a more serious way here that but it's just interesting that the fasting is could be one of the easiest life hacks ever it's amazing that so many religions had that been are are based in insomuch a agent tradition that there are lots of things between religions that actually are incredibly similar and it also comes down to asking so the reason why this such a big deal is because I have my Crohn's and colitis patients and if you do have girls or colitis or annoying but it does please share this so that we can don't help everybody with this because I think a lot of doctors are talking of fasting and so I think my little hatch here who's going to be the fasting mimicking diet plus trying to heal for the polyphenol effect and we also know that he gets rid of the bad bacteria that's growing rich and big plus CBD which attenuates your immune system right could be the magic thing so I called Joe the CEO of Elder Troy and we got talking about this and he goes I want to come down to do the show let's talk and I'm like yes let's do this this is going be fantastic so we can have a whole episode dedicated to the faster mimicking diet and the science of it and you know how people can realize that it really kind of resets and it's an antiaging thing also so you can do from home this is it something it's going to require someone to go out and get a prescription only to prescription to do a fasting and a condign somebody's have to schedule a time to do it and then commit to it and then I would imagine you being a guest urologist to be C70 make those kinds of improvements that's really all you want is the best for your patient and if they can handle that on their own and escape disease it's a win for everyone as natural natural to do it so being vultures studies it's really exciting because what he showed is it is antiaging it is anti-inflammatory and was really fun is that he also so that you have to re-feed so once you do that and you you have the discipline to do those five days of decreased cowgirl of calories and using the fast mimicking diet when you start re-feeding it is awesome because and he also show that if you do it three times in a year that is equivalent to doing ketogenic diet year-round so now that he showed that in different animal models also so for those who at their key billing manager if you struggling as many who don't struggle but if you are struggling maybe this is not turned the computer I have done it and I have fallen off of it and got back on and fallen off it's and get it's not the hot again not the hardest thing ever but the discipline to stay there if you have a family I'm anything you cook for kids then that's not what they want to do is difficult Joe Rogan had Dr. Addie on how dark a joke and I prepare the both of them to deliver talk about the how they just can't rule their diets by making humor and jelly sandwiches for the kids to cut off the crust and Joe just would just eat the crust off the course so I did that also so every time I done Quito I would I would lapse without trying to lapse I would end up doing dirty Quito church where I would build despite outspent direct all is much as I want and then later be like well sure I can have this bowl of rice yeah what you know it with but with Quito if I member correctly you are talking about lab results even on yourself that where Ed there is advantages to doing keto but if you end up doing like he called a dirty keto you might actually failure your desired results off because your body has been moved to doing fats and you've basically thrown in this carbohydrate in talk about that quick so I didn't I like to do so one of my problems in working probably get into that little bit with Sean when he comes on when I do something I go all way way so I'll try it's all just go Quito and then over period of time I didn't realize I was that I drew I'd listen to a bent wrinkle podcast like oh I need to have lentils now is or whatever you know you name it and I totally forget that that's going on so my functional medicine doctor his name is Kevin Wilson here in town and you know he practices antiaging functional medicine she took my blood and called me up his like what have you been doing and course what we were doing is messing with my diet that I'm experimenting with different supplements because were trying to develop more products right and I'm not really paying attention that I'm doing everything at once at the same time sure and all of a sudden he just like your heard labs are messed up buddy commitments and talking alike is what you been doing I was like you have enough time I been doing it all. I'm just everything that it makes it difficult to find out but that's for sure but I will say it every single thing that you have recommended to patient for long as I've known you you've tried it on yourself first I have 100% done that so I have always done it that this is this is not new I remember being a medical student and I was in Lexington Nebraska running the ER at night so I was like the only person awake in Lexington Nebraska at the time and I decided to teach myself how to do an IV on myself which is hard especially first time so let's see I've tried to stick an NG tube down myself that didn't work so well I live but I've done an art I did an arterial line on myself one time that's ridiculous yeah that's not don't don't do that don't do any of this is a matter if I don't do any but I'm just saying that I will do it so that you don't have to share pain of an arterial line is about tenfold of any intravenous line I had left there was a comment on my YouTube channel yesterday where you I posted my colonoscopy online yeah over on YouTube don't do that either and I was awake but it's hilarious actually texted the text this morning with this Abby somebody in the UK said and you'll notice that nobody cares about your but were all looking to screen his writings always get nervous that I don't you see my butt and she pointed out the second he said that Abby looked at my butt and I I've never noticed that so colonoscopy everything so if I'm not you… Come down with everything I really would never I want to try things on myself then I do a case series with patients and then I have data to tell people I was a look this will happen to me this is this group of 20 people over here that were working with athletic Crohn's and colitis communities so near and dear to my heart because I'm using a lot of different things I've seen success with them sure and don't forget the reason why we are doing a check project is to talk about caving the health which was born out of the idea of taking what you find out in the clinic are you going from anecdotal to applied science and to find out how we can actually help people absolutely and so this is cool were coming down to the I guess the bottom of the hours and the rate of the Patrick is that what you say bottom of the hour the bottom of the hour I'm trying to give 30 seconds but apparently I don't how to make a three and is okay since I can call the fountain outside 20 feet away hate that Sean Brian first at whatever you guys 11 I wish you could go some facial is take the pain out of ordering your diabetic testing

different way to shed those pounds this is brand-new technically been around for a couple years or so it was based on research from the University of California that said there is a molecule called OEA that's found naturally in your body produces it in the Mediterranean diet that when taken concentrated amounts it will actually make you feel fuller and boost your metabolism I lost about 10 pounds so far is immune amazing ballet school company said we can take this to market to make this great product will help you it's called grid you zone our IDU zone.com our IDU zone.com Brad's work

half hour of get check project episode number two and now we are joined with our first ever guessed this is Sean Bryant Sean Salo yeah you guys doing today doing well so when Eric and I would talk about our first guest I just sent out I don't care what we talk about but I want somebody with a beard yeah I started this in eighth grade just just just fill in the patch exactly yeah when I turned 30 I look just like there some very proud of my beard for this is Sean Bryant is VP of operations at Greentree medical and you are headed the cultivation division also known as Ogier and Greentree medical and no gear was located in Oklahoma just north of Bert Burnett across the Red River Craig yes sir and you also have a on-site medical dispensary called alternative medicine great yes we do alright well tell us a little bit about what goes on yeah I think it's as one of the coolest things is your background I personally am so intrigued by that so I would like you to stop in the beginning okay well I grew up in agricultural family my parents had big textbased company in Paris Texas and so not really didn't know what I wanted to do when I graduated high school but I had a passion for pharmacy in biology so I got a Texas Tech University and I majored in pharmacy there which was the biology program then I change my major switched over to agriculture fell in love with the horticulture and and I did a lot of research at East Texas State University and Texas A&M commerce on the cotton plant graduated then I became a bag teacher built greenhouses taught kids how to grow went straight into administration became a principal did that for 20 years and love working with people so when my son graduated high school and my daughter she's a but to be a junior it Texas state and that's when I was like you know what I'll I am ready to chase my passion so Oklahoma June 26 they passed their full medical cannabis program and my wife and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary in Arkansas and we talked about 10 miles that day and I was tired she was in bed in the cabin no TV in I just typed up a quick Craigslist ad and I found three guys that were had little to no knowledge of cannabis and how we can use that in the medical field and we made a great connection and I started working with them and that's where I am right now that's awesome so I've known you for quite some time for disclosure my wife hot for you you are the first one the harder when she was a math teacher so I seen Sean is a principal I've seen him as an assistant superintendent of the school district that was down in Texas and I've seen you much like you can whenever Sean decides to do something a Zollo a.m. date from welding to out sing the guards that you value had outback from your house all the vegetables you raise chickens how did you decide that there was a need to go you told me the cell years ago there is a need for people to be able to explore the real practical application yet far beyond the psychoactive aspects of cannabis there are people out there that have a need how you decide that this is a way did you make it happen you know it really I'm researching cannabis and I'm learning about it and I'm sharing this with other people and getting into dialogue with them and these people people that I worked with people that I Matt in a prohibition state of Texas they or one of their family members had a dire need and we started discussing know-how cannabis could help them with a medical issue and so I kind of took on the position of a caregiver by being able to share information that that I gained from from research and keep in mind you know now Dr. Brown can do research and in the public but before it was something that we would just do you know talking to our friends will how did this work with you what were the facts doing a how did you feel that this you know work with this particular ailment but now were able to discuss more freely so you know that that's kind of how I Mr. quick question so you and your scientist by nature I mean with a background in pharmacology and then horticulture and then you are an educator so that your primary start of your foundation is in science then education then you get into this industry with her so much misinformation Howdy how did you approach that were you realize it's up to him you know it's almost like your moral obligation to try and get through all the clutter because that is your back on the minutes if somebody looked at you and said all I could totally see him in the cannabis industry but they didn't realize that you were a principal or rot yet just researching and educating people you know in our dispensary right now when you have a patient come in they don't know what to ask for date they they may think I need this strong marijuana that's got 30% THC but but what we do is we work with them and and let them know that that is not always the answer but you say what you say why are there instead starting check that by now some had a question about medicine and if the physician recommended to them and they don't have time to get those answers that they may have the questions outside face and said they'll go to a pharmacist and then asked the question they cannot take this with this this is just given to me is that this style of y'all that you basically interacting with people and they come in your trying to help steer them toward something that would work yeah so like the way our medical program works in Oklahoma basically you communicate with your physician hey I would like to try medical cannabis as an alternative or with your method of treatment that were currently doing and the doctor would write you basically it's not a prescription for cannabis but it's it's an okay that you can get your medical card and then you come to the dispensary and that is where we want to work with you know the patient's to find out what part of their system is is out of balance and what we need to do to help them get out get back into balance is there a term for that person Soto would like you said pharmacist sure if I go to Colorado was that since little bit more bold is the return when I walked in I need to speak with the well a lot of people call them bartenders that term came about you know right when medical and recreation and they tended the buds that were in the jars and and no new a little bit about each particular product that was in the jar sure now caregivers are though we don't act as the caregiver for that individual patient we are caregivers and so we are providing you know data and information to the patient and let them make their decision and I all white because a lot of times a patient will come in and you know asked that will what will this do if I'm taking Flexeril or if I'm taking hydrocodone or if I'm taking antibiotic you know I always suggest tell your doctor and and let me take you guys this is a trick here it's it's really neat so you go to the doctor with the stomachache normally you go and you visit with the nurse for 10 minutes takes your pulse your blood pressure then the doctor comes in and you know you spend 10 minutes maybe 15 depending on your situation or if you need a rectal in my case abstractly and that's when I stay 30s but know if you if you bring up the topic of CBD bring up the topic of the cannabinoids and tell that to your doctor say hey I'm I've been doing some research here let me take that Dr. is going to sit there for I may not had an hour conversation and the doctor has 10 patients lining up outside waiting to see him or her and he spending his time with me because he is craving this information sure he were sent from a not want to know what he knows I want to bounce ideas you know off of him and and see how I can battle better either handle my own situations or with other patients that I'm dealing with what I would say though even here in Texas where it's not legal yet because you know that but I see almost daily it seems like the openness is is there people willing to discuss something that maybe even just three years ago what going into depth on do you do you find that depositions in Oklahoma are starting to become more embracing now that it's it's legal for them to have this as an avenue yeah most definitely there was a little bit of fear in the very beginning with with doctors they thought that they would be labeled as the cannabis doctor or the lack some of them are the opioid doctor you know which doctor you could go to to get you know drugs like that can and so they there there were some that were reluctant to to even embrace that idea you know it if you if if you're discussing your health with your doctor and you know they do not embrace cannabis in my opinion I would I would want to second I would want to second opinion I'd want to talk to to another doctor what he authors like to chemically so your gastro neurologist here in Texas licensed here and I saw you specifically decide there has to be there has to be something behind the science of the CBD so comparing what Sean's talking about what a physician would have to do to to move into this movement where it's not legal what allowed you to be able to open up and say I want to find out more for the benefit of my patients so we touch on this last week Sean I just I had no knowledge the Endo cannabinoid system I don't alter CBD marijuana I was so whenever somebody is ignorant to it I don't judge at all because I just recently started learning all of this and what change my mind was I went to a conference and I bought a case very expensive CBD at retail price now I'm angry at the company but whatever should be a discount but I gave away my patients and I just waited and when almost all of them came back that I need more that's when I knew that okay there's something to this then since that over the last three years all I've been doing is looking at the science of this and of course there's not enough of research in the United States because of these different regulations and stuff but I'm seeing clinical evidence was why get so excited when we sit here talking I'm I'm thinking when you said much like the pharmacist right dear old Seinfeld episode where it I can't member who was but basically the doctor prescribed something to go to the pharmacy the pharmacist goes I wouldn't do that you do change the spelling of who had more power the doctor the pharmacist I say us three do a little YouTube skipper I'm the Endo Kanab and all adjust I hear the bartender to be the patient, recommend a certain strain and guilt for what I would do that would be a playoff of that but that really is kind words that's where the science is going with this that's what's so exciting when if a patient comes in so I went and visited your store this weekend to right next to Wichita Falls where was and Steve there was told he goes you know what's amazing is the people walking 20-year-old saying only get sweet you know old people with chains and their struggling and there like I'm the real goes here's what peers or to do for you this is awesome and video so when I realize I'm making this what Steve told me girls I realize I'm now making a difference and people's health goes I feel what you probably would and the medicine for which is to change people's lives exactly and and were surrounded by some huge military bases in Wichita Falls and in Lawton and a lot of our customers they they do not by the cannabis that contains THC they preferred the cannabis that contains CBD the high percentage of CBD and little to 0% THC you know with CBD it is it is new to me also as far is it the benefits it is huge very huge you mentioned the Endo cannabinoids system and you know I've kind of in my mind broke the broke medical patients down into into three different categories ABC a being where I want to feed my Indo cannabinoids system I'm healthy I feel good I work out I walk so, preventative it's it's kind of a preventative and then be moving into a patient that that has an element of whether it's a backache or or a inflammatory science laboratory exactly and then all the way up to our need of severe cancer and the end things where you're you're really going to have to to wage a major war with with CBD but yet that our patients that come into our facility even though you could command if you got your medical card I can sell you 3 ounces of gorilla glue which is a cannabis strain I haven't done that I have not I have an 82-year-old man that pulls up and he will buy CBD flower which is it CBD but cannabis contain CBD and THC this strain of cannabis contains 16% CBD and like .3% THC and that's what this guy buys an and loves it he he could buy no THC but the CBD is making different table does make a huge difference Steve our manager and Bud tender you know I asked him I should tell me what you think because he said cannabis user and he he picked up this bottle and he said I take it what it does for me he said in the evening I'll take a eyedropper input under my tongue and hold it my mouth for for five minutes and then I'll swallow it swallows it he digested he goes to bed he said that when he wakes up in the morning that his whole body just feels rejuvenated pop truck got up out of bed he's he's ready to go take on the day that's what CBD does in your neuromuscular system it it if you're already in that number one zone where you're just maintaining it it helps keep a you say homeostasishomeostasis it just keeps a nice even level balance at our level in your in your body and that way you you feel great when you wake up and and then other systems will start to fall into place like I want to get into it also is a move to the show is really heavy for another hour but there there are differences in CBD and when you get it and was labeled a CPD exactly and before forget X1 ass one thing you said that you are surrounded by military bases yes are these are the servicemen coming in getting good grief yes most definitely an and you know when youth historically you know a lot of our servicemen you know they coming with PTSD and and you think of PTSD as we know from guys that the comeback promote a war-torn country and Anna and they've seen some crazy stuff and and they're trying to deal with that and that is that is very true but how huge our military is there there are things that have happened in the military it could be just having a car wreck you know that is traumatizing to you while your own active duty and and so these guys you know they're there looking for ways to to deal with you know PTSD and emotional issues so one of the things we talked about that out my goal would be this you guys beating the people that are selling CBD and selling other marijuana products you can't make any disease claims what I want to do is get research so you can have published articles 1 of the things Dr. Col. Philip Blair is also a doctor of is the medical director at Alexa and also our CBD is powered by licks and always the medical director there he actually published a case series with CBD and its effect on PTSD is a full bird colonel that realize the benefits of CBD and is now working for CBD company and still seeing patients and collecting data and so were to bring him down and he's he's in a come on in the next month yeah what I really want to do it so he so knowledgeable about that and is also knowledge about the other thing that unfortunate happens in war which is traumatic brain injury and he's actually published something on TV guys and we were talking about possibly setting up a CME meeting so doctors need certain minor credits at my hospital door trauma surgeons because I really believe that a protocol of doing high dose DHA plus CBD at the first impact of any type of dramatic brain injury recent article just got published route showed that unfortunately they did autopsies on the boys that were 16 to 19 that had played football but it had shown in these they were there were unfortunately killed from other circumstances but they they are now looking at the brains looking for CTE and are already showing signs of CTE from just high school right so we know that this TBI thing is huge and I just love it that we have like a full bird colonel who is a doctor willing to embrace it you're talking about it surrounded by military bases it's a perfect marriage is a like-minded think is this essentially what you talk about Sean whenever your wanting to help he would've come to you for that help you want to give guidance that you have it's not just anecdotal I think this'll work this is it's it's this works for this ailment we want to help you just like you said you're not selling the gorilla glue to somebody just because it's profitable to you you want to got into something's gonna make him feel better that's the whole purpose right exactly and you know back on the Indo cannabinoids system the way this the CBD works it just kind of columns some of these receptors I guess it it it if if there's something that for instance on PTSD my wife was attacked by a dog about two years ago we were done in San Marcus best in our daughter and a big bull mastiff Jehovah God are yet Torah but Karen carries on a baking sheet for so it's not her fault I was a bacon on me know if done nervously if you're baking carrier don't want grandson Mark yeah well now you know she has a phobia of just dogs but there are times that I look at her whenever somebody if were in Denton walking around where it's a dog friendly town in here comes this guy with his tiger stripe pit bull that's a sweet dog she kinda moves next to me in and she is having some anxiety and CBD is a product that really does help with that and if if if we know that were going to go to Denton she'll consume some CBD and that will you know help help your wife as long as I know you and Karen is never been a skittish or anxious person and I remember that incident quite vividly and you and you're right I arrived I've heard her comment that it's unfortunate for her that that now is something that's a blemish on an experience but I've also heard her comment that Seabees actually helped her not have is anxious. Whenever we meet chal for dinner out then there are yeah and I and you know the Indo cannabinoids system goes all the way down to think 600 million years ago you know it was in little squids and and sea creatures and and still is in most of the animals today and dogs you know there are a lot of people that will buy this product CBD do not give your animals THC please don't but CBD does help with skin conditions with animals with anxiety with animals one of the number one top sellers in Colorado right now are these pet products dog biscuits yeah I see this all the time of my patients they will deftly spend the money to treat her pants and not uncommonly will not have the money for their own medicines right but they will make sure that the pets are the words on my PTSD I'm looking at all the articles were going to be publishing here soon we've got autism and CBD we got CBD and IBD we got a full review of the end of cannabinoid system working to do PTSD and CBD in these blogs are all about science with references so that you can just hand them to people go oh here's this you look at were not making a claim but you can do your own homework just like you did were you felt that moral obligation to get out there and be a caregiver now you are actually going to have to educate in a way without making claims in my opinion is as a doctor the best way to do it and as an educator is to give references exact this is not my opinion this is just based on these this whole process to bring up Dr. Blair's name again that's actually one of his biggest calls is how do I end up taking my research and make it more applicable to the VA and to the basis because these are the gentlemen who are fighting for our country abutting a lot of the line and often times and they go to that system that machine the options are limited theirs is not it is obviously not of counseling the talk button and in the news today but oftentimes it's just to the prescriptive therapies and not to CBD that actually could be making a difference one yeah absolutely I was just talking to him we were I have a friend in Rich Hagedorn back in Omaha he's a retired 30 years in the military and him and a group of guys have started a alcohol company called soldier volley liquor and we would talk about that how they give back to the servicemen and I'm like when we got have done show we'll talk about this I think the veterans are one of our biggest populations that we can really help and I didn't even realize that you're surrounded by military bases where they are they are seeking you out exactly right yeah and and and were therefore we we want to help on the the side effects are just zero that I've seen with using CBD and compared to what they have received from the VA hospitals that cause horrible horrible side effects in these guys they they realize that they're there saying that their spouses are saying that and so they're looking for you know some some treatment that will help them mean everything were talking about comes down to inflammation PTSD information is hyper firing of nerves inflammatory bowel disease the fast mimicking diet that help these mice that is an autoimmune issue what I really would like to do this next part of the shows let's geek out I mean you got a background we can get into the end of cannabinoid system let's clear up some of the confusion let's talk about the other things full-spectrum terpenes blob about the sound sciences but let's let's bring back to level so that when someone walks in your store they listen to this or you can recommend them to listen to it there you know what they're getting just a resale because we are reaching the top of our or just a moment but this is Sean Brian's he is the vice president of operations for alternative medicine newly opened here in Oklahoma and as any other job websites yet we do have on our Instagram is Okie okay I_earth and we also have alternative medicine okay to grant alternative medicine okay on Instagram will see here in just a moment for the next hour also it's funny shows on-demand at spoony.this is the only 24 hour take anywhere platforms dedicated to food and fun career spoony this hour from Townhall.com, editors hope you have at least some information from the black boxes of the doomed Ethiopian jetliner by days end those devices now being analyzed by experts in France here the US FAA acting administrator Daniel Elwell says his agency had to investigate for ordering all 737 Max jetliners grounded it is in our minds now link that is close enough to ground airplanes he was on NBC's today show a former Texas congressman joins a growing field of Democrats vying for the parties 2020 presidential nomination Democrat Betty O'Rourke became a political sensation during his 2018 bid to unseat Texas Sen.

medicine vis-à-vis the operations of that and that will clear and just a quick reminder start of second hour if you are interested in picking up your own are trying to heal just go to love my tummy.com/spoony use discount code spooning for some savings for yourself and then of course if you want to check out KB MD health CVD you can also go to KB MD okay BMD health.com or maybe somewhere else you go extra you could come over to Oklahoma and pick up some KB CBD oil when we saw this product in our store when when Eric and I met I immediately fell in love and and the first thing that that jumped out at me was you know having Dr. Brown's name on the bottle so many of our patients that command our dispensary that's the first thing that they asked is not what a doctor what a doctor recommend this what is what would end in a lifetime just kind of funny they say what would my doctor say about me using this and that's when I'm likable don't talk to your doctor tell your doctor what you want to do ask your doctor but this particular product that's backed up with with research and an extensive studies we we wanted to be a part of this we wanted this on our shelves the the other thing that that really jumped out at me is how this product was made how it was manufactured how they did the extraction process y'all use a process called supercritical CO2 extraction so cannabinoids and that are on the Kent cannabis plant they are oil soluble and they are alcohol soluble and so historically they would use some nasty chemicals like butane and propane and they would blast that gas which in a liquid form through through the cannabis extract the the all of the cannabinoids and then try to remove some of the petroleum products from that crude oil and in California they do a hunt of testing on that and California is not happy with the trace petroleum products that are still in the considered a contaminant behind it is a contaminant and some of the extraction method they actually feel that that is the containment sure can be yes alcohol so another way to extract from a cannabis plant you can take and back in the day they use things like acetone in isopropyl alcohol's and and some alcohols that that work food grade like Everclear for instance hundred 90 proof Everclear that can be used to extract cannabinoids from my cannabis plant and and do a full CBD extraction now they tried to evaporate that alcohol that that's also an end they can't sure he can't get all it all out yeah I have taken not this product but I've taken other CBD tinctures that staying real bad under my tongue some people like that staying Carlock taking of shot of vodka over you know some type of alcohol drink for me I do not consume alcohol I find it not not always II use to like alcohol but I I don't like it anymore and when I'm treating a patient I don't want to recommend a CBD tincture that has alcohol in it or other nasties in it I want to recommend a clean extracted product that use supercritical CO2 let me answer the question have you seen certain products that said possibly CO2 extraction put on your tongue burns basically mislabeling gallery itself is a little bit wild West right now most definitely met and you know I've had patients come to us and say yeah we bought this said at the jiffy mark down the road in and it doesn't work it doesn't do anything in and I look at it and you know a lot of these products were were made in India or in China and hey guys I it may be the real thing but these guys and and we have other CBD lines in our store also that are that we know the growers trip and just like your guys we we know where this plant came from we know that it was tested we know that it was tested for pesticides we know that that you know it was tested for levels of THC or CBD or other cannabinoids that are in it when I talked to Steve last week whenever we were entertaining the idea of moving KB MD CVD to I alternative medicine Oklahoma the very first question he said is we can't shelve this without a authenticated COA certificate of analysis and can you may want to talk about this why did you partner with Alexa and all-knowing it that there were certain parameters that you knew you had to meet so knowing that the industry itself so let's back up and just look at the supplement industry so my my initial background was in clinical research during pharmacologic studies and then I Neil found a few holes there we figured out we could do something natural to fix people and that's how we develop doctrine until once I get in touch until I realized holy cow the this industries people mislabeling their making claims or doing things so knowing that if I was really get into the CBD aspect of medicine I just wanted to make sure that I went with a company that was completely on the up and up very open and make sure that they had complete sourcing it was an organic farm they could naturally extract which of the supercritical CO2 extraction and religious source to one company so they have complete control of everything and that was a little and the been very happy that I've partnered with them in when you talk to the CEO when we have lunch with Gabe the people that are doing the right thing they want help each other out so they're there all about if you want to do CW Charlotte's Web do that CBD line is lying as he lines another one wherever it was like yeah let's just all were not in competition the good the people that are doing the right stuff or not competition with each other there there to educate and that's why want to part with little there were very open about church said yeah we just want to do this and that's why they want to part with me because they know that I want to be publishing lots of clinical data on this yes so at another big thing that Stephen also let me know is that we have to have CBD's that is full spectrum that we had on this a little bit last week and we can get into a little bit about what full spectrum of what the entourage effect is what you learn some words like terpene's final cannabinoids. Full spectrum and then talk a little bit about somebody who may appear reputable doing things like isolates but what limitations are on that so Sean start you what is it mean for something to be a full-spectrum product within your your dispensary yeah and people that have researched using cannabinoids to treat their ailments that that's the first thing that they asked for they want a full spectrum CBD and it it it it is very beneficial because all of these can I have annoyed CBN CBD and CBG and even THC they all work with each other and and that's why having a full spectrum product here extract it is very very beneficial I just I feel like that it's the way that these cannabinoids work with each other to to address your problem so it we had last week we talked about drugs that have been formed down to isolate said actually underperformed compared to what it was they were they were designed to build a home Otilio told me GW pharmaceuticals's, who are hidden@gwpharmaceuticalsaddress.fda approval for PDO lacks direct appeal something like that something like that that I got approved for seizures it is a CDD isolate what is interesting without republishing more there is a great example because I'm not a neurologist but as gas are all just they did try to look at that particular isolate in ulcerative colitis and ended up having a big dropout rate due to side effects I don't see side effects when I use the full spectrum right not all and will and in talking about full-spectrum hit on a little bit also but to you today different cannabinoids as well as another word terpenes so tripping profile can actually mean something and this is this is great for you because we had talked about where is the science going so CVD is new everyone the ECS is not being taught in medical school and that's a brand-new frontier for a lot of people to talk about but how do you know what CBD combinations going to work for you could actually be decent some differentiation in doing that so much going to walk all through this to you Sean so one of the things that I been either the tunnel reading and when you start looking at some of these people who are PhD's in the writing about this it gets pretty high level it's like any other specialty I'm a casserole dish I spent three extra years learning the got just got the version of the Endo Canavan all adjust procedure and looking at all just because the science is getting so dialed in and one of the things it's really interesting is that different combinations may do different things for different people so we talk about the disease state when someone comes in and says shot I got my back I got sciatica can you help me with that that kind of thing so I think that the terpenes are terpenes are in every plant and it it's what you smell not tomato plan has terpenes is an oil it I don't know if it's in oil but it is a component you know in their structure but it does have a smell to it most terpenes do the thing that just blows my mind these guys that manufacture lactate the vape cartridges and this is the easiest way to try to understand terpenes and how they can affect the way or change the way I can have annoyed's informed you that they you can do a full extraction of THC and CBD and you can take a terpene like why mean for instance and add to that extraction you can consume that and have a completely different effect then if you added a blueberry terpene to that extraction was the island versing yes obeyed immersing is one of them that they look that word they have shown that if you have a higher concentration of beta mercy that crosses the blood brain barrier and it brings CBD with it so if you've got a brain issue maybe we need to start using higher immersing levels Piper Ian I think is the other one that's more for joint inflammation like relearning about this is a brand-new science and Sarandon is so exciting and it's gonna take people with the pharmacy background people mean that's why love what you're doing and when you have this educator background is a science and you're bringing all that into this new space that needs to be cleared up that's what we have in the show to talk about the stuff yeah and seizure patients for instance they may take a they may get a perfect dial in profile of medicine that they're taking and it works so let's say I'm having 10 seizures a day and this is working great after about a month or two they may start having one or two seizures a day and then three months later they may have three or four in anger stuff doesn't work or I'm have built up a tolerance to it that's where I call it resetting the cannabinoids clock making little subtle changes with terpenes to the same profile that that works for you the same ratio of CBD and CBN and CBG that works for you in treating your seizures but I need to reset the way that is working with my Indo can have annoyed system if that makes sense so by making a small change with a terpene they have found that it resets that clock and that seizure patient now is medicated and able to go through the day without having one seizure and then after a period of time they reset that clock in and and start over so it that's why it in our medical profession I cannot wait till all of our doctors will sit down with the patient instead of just signing the piece of paper and synonym to the dispensary because the other thing you know were lucky to have Stephen in our dispensary I mean we really are truly blessed I had a patient come in the other day that had gone to a another dispensary that had two ladies that were retired kindergarten teachers that were working at the dispensary in you know they had no idea what was in this model innovate they just knew that it was this process and you know for the same reason the matters we get to CVD are probably matters on his help guide you to listen work for so when I run into whenever I see anybody there's quite a few multilevel marketing companies which are try to get into the CBD industry and what I have seen is that if I go to like a tradeshow or something the have a booth I'll just walk up to me like what's this and listen to what they say and everyone that I've encountered doesn't really understand it and are just throwing the words out and try to do the skills you need this this is the is isolate this is this it's got a full terpene spectrums or will we limit so isolate nursing turbine spectrum dual turbine is no and let my kids laugh because of the accident happened about five times Robbie will tell me more know you wrong that is it just education thing but if you're just trying to move some stuff there ever is using these words like did you heard the term broad-spectrum so broad-spectrum is a marketing term is no such thing as each of the broad-spectrum and I cannot find it fascinating that that's catching on, the Joe dirt style of selling the difference tween blue sky pasta Dragon just does well Doug number one thing that we look for is you now want to know how the medicine was made I want to know where the cannabis came from and I want to know that it was tested and that's why I can't always recommend going and buying this on eBay this on that you stay online for $5.99 in and think it is really going to it it may hurt you your point is now I want to hear your horticultural background how you guys grown up their local well it's funny because you know going into this you know I'm res
