I make sure my new patients have enough time from the start to the finish with me. I don't have a nurse that goes in there and does all the little things. I do everything from start to finish." - Dr. Glen Robison [18:35] "You can't put a price on your health." - Dr. Glen Robison [22:24] "When I see diabetic patients, they think it's mostly all food, what they eat. That's a fraction of it. What they don't understand is that type two diabetes has a huge component of emotion and so I find within my own practice that those that have been later diagnosed with type two diabetics that had some form of injury to their mental emotional side." - Dr. Glen Robison [23:16] "The kidney is worry and fear, the lung is grief and sorrow. So if you can get somebody that's diabetic to stop the worrying, to start loving themselves, to think of, 'okay, I am important. I can do this,' and really take their energy up. Well, lo and behold, their sugar levels start to maintain." - Dr. Glen Robison [29:14] "I always sign my books, I-N-J-O-Y. 'cause joy's not found on the outside. We only express it on the outside, but it's always in the inside and it's always there, but we take our whole life trying to find it." - Dr. Glen Robison Our Guest Dr. Glen N.

Work takes a little bit of a long time, but perhaps is more sustaining over a course of a lifetime. Right out of my residency, I was in my first year in practice, and I was on the go, go, go. I was trying to pay off the student loans. I was starting a family. I was trying to pay down the debt. And so I was running on willpower. I was running on adrenaline. And so I gravitated to the social things of life, the quick energy, high-sugary food type things. And over a course of time, it really started to take a toll on me. And so when I couldn't get out of bed and because of my back was hurting so bad and I realized, man, being young in practice, I didn't have any health insurance. Nothing. I was like, what am I doing? And so surgery wasn't an answer for me. I didn't want to get cut on. I know my sick dad had back surgery. I didn't want to follow down his road. So I was directed to my healthy dad. And I remember when he worked on me and he made a comment: Man, you're like a dang bag of potatoes. You're so stiff. In order to really fully get you to where you need to be, you're going to have to change what you eat. And that didn't make sense to me. I said I'm just here for my back. I just need to get my back fixed. But it took a couple of years of him talking to me and telling me that you really have to change what you eat." On Emotions & Health "I've learned how to engage my emotions to hold me in check, meaning that anger, grief, frustration, resentment, all these things, have a direct effect on our health. Grief and worry are directly related to diabetes. And so I could tell you a story right there that I've experienced, I had with worry and grief, that can elevate your blood sugars. And so I've been more attuned to the emotions and have learned to just be more trusting, be more forgiving, be more loving, and not take in these harsh, emotional elements that I've incorporated into my life." ___________________________ For More on Dr. Glen Robison Healthy Dad Sick Dad: What Good Is Your Wealth If You Don't Have Your Health?
