Today I talk with Michelle Ross on the immigration process and how she can help!
Launching a new product on Amazon is a big, complicated process, but you don't have to go in blind! Michelle Ross, a former teacher turned an entrepreneur, is the Co-Founder & COO of Cosmo Technologies. Michelle shares her experience of successfully launching a brand on Amazon and overcoming the challenges that new sellers face. You'll hear about understanding what your customer really wants, how most effectively use your listing's content, and what goes into thoughtfully forecasting demand.Takeaways:When selling products meant for children, you need to attract and sell to their parents. What parents are looking for in a product is much different than what a child is looking for. You really need to understand what the decision-maker is looking for.Even if your listing is facing resellers, you can outperform them by better understanding what perceived attributes your customers are looking for beyond just a spec sheet, such as brand reputation, security, and privacy.Amazon is a great place to find new customers. 50% of parents shop for their children on Amazon. Amazon can act as the lead gen source, but you also need the other aspects that are expected of a brand. You need to be intentional about the content that goes into your listings, this includes everything from written content to video content. Your listing has the opportunity to educate your customers about the product and the brand if done correctly.The graphic and video content in your listings should give customers a visual understanding of the product they are purchasing, how to use it, and what to expect from it. This helps take the place of the experience of physically interacting with the product. You need a strategy for launching your product on Amazon. Before your listing goes live, you need to have the necessary fulfillment team in place and a strong understanding of the platform and its analytics.If you get a product complaint, you need to answer it and address it as soon as possible! If this lingers unanswered, Amazon may take your listing down, especially with new products.Quote of the Show:“It does take a team and it also takes a good sense of adventure and humor to be an Amazon seller” - Michelle RossLinks:LinkedInWebsiteStorefrontFacebookInstagramWays to Tune In:Apple Podcast (Leave a Review)iHeart RadioPodchaser (Leave a Review)Amazon MusicAudibleSpotifyGoogle PodcastStitcherYouTube

Ken, why don't you go ahead and fill us in.5:38 So it's gonna be super exciting show. Today we have Marcus ruark. And this is something that is very, very important. It's important for my patients. It's important for anybody that deals with all kinds of diseases, but I'm thrilled to have him here. thrilled to be here. Marcus, thank you so much for coming in Marcus ruark is president of good blend, Texas, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and proudly sells cannabis products that are cultivated and produced right here in the Lone Star State as one of only three state licenced medical dispensaries. Now, Marcus, I saw your bio, this is super cool, you have a very interesting background. And prior to joining good blend, you received your electrical engineering degree from Stanford. Then you received your master's degree at Stanford and I keep saying Stanford because Eric and I both have kids which are applying for college. And when I see Stanford, that's the sort of crown jewel that most parents want their kids to go to. And they like tennis players. And they like you received your master's degree at Stanford in management, science and engineering. Following this, you went on to serve as a captain in the US Air Force, where you lead your team in the National Security Agency, followed by advanced Systems Division of us Space Command. That's crazy. Following that, your bio discusses a lot of other really fascinating things that I want to get into. But before we get into that, I want to talk a little bit about what's not in your bio. Okay, tell me about you. Family. What's going on with Marcus?7:21 Sure. Well, we just had a big week in the ruag family took my daughter to college, which you just alluded to a little bit ago there. She's going to San Diego State nice, pretty excited about that. But also, you know, it's a little bit anxious and first first kid out of the nest, so to speak. So that's exciting. And then my son started up eighth grade first time back in school since spring of his sixth grade year, right when everybody went home for COVID. So very exciting there too, and he's trying out for football. So fingers crossed,7:49 right on, right on.7:51 That's a plate right there. And so San Diego State that's Trojans, she's a Trojan Aztecs, Aztecs. Yeah. I'm learning too. Nice. All right, that's a Southern California Nevermind. Sorry.8:02 So the family, your background, there was this huge section in your bio, we're very clearly you have an entrepreneurial spirit, you have leadership skills, you are willing to push the boundaries a bit and try some different positions technologies. Can you give me what led you up to this?8:24 Absolutely. So after I got out of the Air Force, I was very interested in joining the the high tech scene that was happening in San Francisco. So did that ride around? Actually not the best time for that because it was right around the bubble here is where there was a big crash back in 2000. But that being said, really got interested in bringing new products to new markets, and bringing new benefits to customers who maybe hadn't seen those benefits before in the past. So very exciting, did a lot of startups founded a lot of companies. And then at some point I crossed over into healthcare so a startup in the healthcare space and it hit me then that as rewarding as I thought it had been doing startups in high tech to do in healthcare it was even more special because not only are you starting a company but you're actually helping people right we were helping doctors treat patients better we were helping patients have better outcomes in their in their hospitals stays. So it was really rewarding. And at some point after that, I was able to join a company called Fluence which you probably saw on the on the resume, but they were in the LED lighting space. And I started there to help out with the customer experience for their customer base. And I learned that the customer base was primarily in three segments, customers who are coming to a growing produce companies who are growing flowers, and then cannabis companies and can imagine which one of the segments was probably the fastest growing it was their cannabis customers and so that was entirely new to me the cannabis world and I as you guys have I dove deeply into it the endocannabinoid system the the benefits of cannabis and learned about cultivation and Creation of products and distribution, all that kind of good stuff. And right around, I guess was the spring of 2017, Texas announced the grant of the first couple of licences for the Texas compassionate use programme. And when, you know, I reached out to one of the companies and say, I think I can help you guys here in Texas. And so I came on board as president of goodwill in Texas at that time.10:21 And that's fascinating. So I mean, obviously, it was just natural as a natural progression. You ended up seeing that there was a need, it was certainly new to you. Sounds like maybe correct me if I'm wrong, but you're inspired by things that you don't know enough about, but seem intriguing could help people I'm still learning10:35 and so much to learn in this space still, but but it ends up it's a great match for all that because it's it's technology, right? It's, it's horticulture, and it's it's helping people within today, right was what was what we're here to do is help Texans.10:48 So it's an electrical engineer, I get that you were drawn to the LED space, but then getting drawn to healthcare and now more of a I mean, what would you describe your position at good blood?10:59 I, I'm leading the entire Texas team here. Everything from cultivation, to product development, formulation, packaging, distribution, working with physicians, working with patient support groups, so pretty much everything setting strategy product roadmap and trying to build a great culture for the team here.11:18 So one of the things that we talk about in our company is the why the why the underlying reason why all this is happening, because if you don't have a solid, why then what you're describing, nobody else really will believe in that. But it sounds like you found your y even if you haven't defined your y statement, you found the Y11:37 Well, I can define it for you. It's we are empowering Texans to find their well being right through natural medicines that our patients say work. And it's, it's, it's so rewarding. Now, we have a we have a group of we have a role the company called mobile wellness coordinators, and these are the folks it's probably one of the hardest jobs at the company, you have to be knowledgeable about cannabis, the endocannabinoid system, talking to patients, so you have to be bit of an extrovert, right? It'll talk to patients. But you also have to drive across the large distances of Texas to deliver medicine to patients doors. So you also have to be a bit of an introvert there to be happy listening to podcasts while you're driving. They have the best job in the company, though, because when they're making that second delivery to a patient, they get to hear how that patient did they could hear the patient testimonials, and they're incredibly rewarding. And it's I feel really almost envious that they get to do this. But they're they're so nice to come back and share their stories with us after they've had these amazing conversations.12:38 So where are you with the company before they ended up having their first dispense of their certified? Yeah,12:45 I've been with the company since 2017. We served our first patients in early 2019. Okay, and what12:52 was it like? What was the anticipation like to get your first patient that had been referred in and and bringing those physicians on board to do that here in a state that didn't do it before?13:01 Well, I think predict my answer was huge and hugely rewarding. Like I said, it's this, the testimonies we hear are fantastic. And as we've come to market with even a wider set of products, different ratios of CBD to THC, different terpene profiles, were able to help more people were able to give prescribing doctors more choices, and patients more choices on how they how they help themselves.13:28 But it just seems like it would be a really cool opportunity to paint a picture of how you feel like you're going to be able to deliver something that maybe a physician doesn't feel like they've got a total grasp, because that's why you would offer an alternative. And then now you've recruited them to go now then just a new novel way, but prior to your launch wasn't really necessarily well embraced. How hard is it to get that message and get physicians to want to buy in to do that?13:54 It is still a challenge today. Sure. And one of the reasons I'm so excited that you invited me here today is because one of my number one missions right now is to try to get the word out to increase awareness. I suspect. We don't have a random text in here right now. But if we grabbed one walked outside in the heat, and ask them if cannabis was legal in the state of Texas, most likely they're gonna say no. And even for the patient groups where it is legal right now, most of them don't know that it's legal. So our number one job right now is creating awareness growing the number of Texans who are aware that they have this treatment available to them. And I really appreciate being on a show like this to help get the word out.14:32 What I think is so cool is that somebody with your pedigree has chosen to do this and now finding out why you chose to do it, which is you got into healthcare, you had the opportunity to do these, these other companies where it could have just been about financial reward. But once you got in and saw the impact that you can have that then you chose to do this with that message of we're going to empower people to take, take their health over what was your statement again,14:57 you're going to empower empower them to take charge with Their own wellbeing,15:01 empower them to take charge of their own well being. That's something that I try to do as a physician all the time. And so many times, it's limited because of the insurance plan because of lack of funding because of lack of efficacy. Sure. So I'm thrilled that Texas decided to do this because we've been waiting to see this happen. I've talked to my colleagues and other states, where medical cannabis is legal. And they tell me about the success that they're having with their patients. As a gastroenterologist, when I looked at, let me just pick a patient population, like my inflammatory bowel disease patients, I'm open to discuss things I I'm more of a functional type person. So I will ask these questions. And if somebody has Crohn's disease, and they're between the ages of 18 to 40, I just say, Are you using cannabis for your health? And they'll stop and be like, yeah, how did you guess? Yeah, I mean, they just go, yeah. And because they're on forums, they're talking. And I said, well, it's pretty exciting, because I think we're headed that way with Texas. And I think that we can make this so that you don't, so that you can have control over this so that you can actually empower your own health with this with products that are meticulously cultivated that have Certificate of analysis that you don't question, which is what good blend is doing. Right. Right.16:23 Well, the other the other message I'd like to get across and it ties into what you just said, is that it's actually easy to do, it's easy to get into the programme. So right, not only do they do Texans not know what exists, but if they do, they probably think it's incredibly difficult to get a prescription and to get product and to be able to afford it. And that's another message I would like to leave with folks is that it, take a look into it, right? Go to good blend.com because it's actually easy to get signed up and get to be part of the programme.16:48 Oh, we're gonna get into all of that. I have a feeling I want to like, where do I go? I love I love talking to people that have been there done that, that have degrees, like you have that have seen so many things. I want to know, you know, what Goodwin does where it is. But I think one of the most important things that people have to realise is that you've got very, I've been to a programme and I've met the doctors that showed up to the programme. And I've talked to paediatrician, psychiatrists and pain doctors here in Texas here in Plano, not just I'm not going very far out. And they told me the effects they're having on their patients. And these are smart people, somebody like you, also extremely smart, we start validating this whole industry and start shedding that kind of negative feeling that people have carried over over the years, obviously, other states are a little more advanced. But even my patients today, we had a 65 year old woman that is quite miserable from an autoimmune disease. And she just said flat out, would you care if I started smoking weed, and I'm like, not only do I not care, but I'm going to send you to a doctor because one of your diseases qualifies you, at least right now on this fairly limited set. And we'll talk about the different programmes, which are easy to get into and all these other things. And she just completely was like, You're kidding. I'm like now and these are, then you start briefly talking about ratios. And it's not about you know, smoking yourself, so you can't move on the couch. I just18:22 want to add to that, because where she is and where she finds herself. And this is why I think what company like good blend really bridges a gap that needs to be bridged. And that is, the reason why she asked or was hesitant to bring up the use of marijuana is because probably up until a certain point she felt shameful and trying to find a solution. And finally, she worked up enough nerve to finally throw it to Ken and say, do you mind if I do? So how long had she been sitting on the fence before she finally worked up the nerve, because we've seen it before. She's not a stranger to the clinic, to work up enough energy to be able to do that. And what I think is great about a company like good blend is stop waiting, we want you to feel better. And there's actually an easy pathway to do. So it's kind of how you see the the access there. Absolutely.19:10 It's it's one of the reasons that we try to have a vast selection of products that feel a little bit less intimidating. Right? So we'll probably get into that later too. But everything we can do to help folks out I mean, I'm actually kind of feeling bad for this person. Right? Because like you said, How long have you been sitting on that and not sharing that and she could have been helped a lot earlier. So yeah, and Texas is making really good strides there. Every two years. I have a legislative session and every two years we've been expanding the programme so I'm I'm very optimistic.19:43 It's if you are knowledgeable about this, so Eric and I got heavy into the CBD. Yes. area when CBD was still people were being arrested in Iran a foreigner here Yeah, Marin County. Over in Fort Worth. They were getting arrested. And I'm like I call Eric I'm like there's another person like what are we doing here? endocannabinoid system. This is perfect. And when you start talking about I'm like this person has an Endocannabinoid deficiency. They've got these chronic diseases, we are just putting band aids on all of these things, including pain meds. If we can get their endocannabinoid system back to balance, it is something that they need. If I have an asthmatic that shows up and they're wheezing, and I say you the only thing that that that is allowable under your plan, the only thing that's allowable in this, I'll take it back one second. Simone Biles, oh, yeah. Alright, so Simone Biles, this is and this was shared, I didn't I haven't talked to her. But it was viewed on a couple different articles that seemed pretty credible. It makes sense. Regardless, it different countries have different rules. Japan does not allow ADHD medication to be taken. She's been on ADHD medication for most of her life. So she goes to the Japan Olympics. And nobody's discussing that she couldn't take that it's a banned substance in the country. It's an accepted substance in the Olympic Committee, because it's an exemption, because they understand that. So she goes there. And everybody's like, what she's lost her train of thought and everything. So imagine if you can't get the drug that you need or the product that you need, and it's available right there. But somebody is putting a wall that's right there, if you're an asthmatic, and you're wheezing, and I can't give you ventolin inhaler to open up your Bronco airways because guess what? ventolin and bronchodilators. It has to be an exception. If it's if you're on the Olympics, like you have to get it exempt. Otherwise, it's considered a enhancing thing. There's things like that that are on that. You know that that's why you get NSF certified for different things, right things. So this is one of those deals where I'm like, if you're a diabetic and you need insulin, or if you need Metformin, and you can't get that, when I look at some of my patients, I'm like, Oh, my gosh, a beautiful balance of your endocannabinoid system may correct 90% of what you have going on, and we can take these eight drugs away. That's what I'm excited about.22:14 Yeah, so I have, I have a theory on this, which is that well, and partly this may end up being preaching to the choir, but it's my understanding that the endocannabinoid system is not well taught in med school, if at all. And if that's true, that means you have to learn it after you graduate. But it also means you may have some scepticism about it, it was only discovered in the 1990s. Yeah, I mean, how can we couldn't do better and discover before them, but that Okay, so it's discovered in the 90s. It's really important, right? And I've heard you guys talk about it a lot. But it is the I call it the it's like the conductor of the symphony. So it is conducting all the other systems in our bodies. And it's telling you that when to get a little louder, or that when to slow down. It keeps everything in balance. And a word you guys use frequently is homeostasis, right? It helps maintain that. And yet I was in a doctor's office the other day with my daughter had to get a COVID test before being allowed to go to San Diego State. And on the wall, this doctor's office you guys probably have to is the systems of the body. Right? It's got the skeletal system nervous system. And I look pretty hard on that poster, it could not find the endocannabinoid system. So to me, that kind of said, everything23:23 is that surprising. And it's unfortunate because it The end result is what we have now. It just simply becomes ignored. And then it becomes taboo. Because if it's being ignored, then maybe it's not acceptable to talk about and it's not acceptable to talk about then you have patients who are fearful for bringing forth an idea for a solution and then we're just slowing recovery when in fact, I mean, I'm not an advocate saying that THC is going to solve everything for anybody. But that doesn't mean it won't work for someone.23:51 We've talked about this before that I believe I'm a gastroenterologist I focus on the gastro anthological system. There are neurologists there are endocrinologist cardiologists, we will have an Endocannabinoid ologists because that is something that people have to get on board to get on board with. There's when you like First of all, a quick side note I suggest everybody after this is over go to good blends website that website is great. It is filled has so much information. So much great information about the history about why it became sort of tucked under the rug about how it was manipulated on a political level and then ultimately about how all these other cannabinoids are involved. So it's I don't know if you can't see it, it's way over there. But I purposely put I put a terpene in there we got lemonade being diffused right now so we can stay mentally clear. You know, terpenes being involved in all this. So as an induction as an Endocannabinoid ologists we're going to get to the point where we'll be like okay, well tell me what your Oh perfect. Sounds like You need some assistance with this. This is probably the blend that you need. This is more of you need a more CBD front heavy with immersing terpene to calm down and one thing in the morning. Yes, absolutely. And the fact that it's all natural and and does that.25:19 You want to repeat that. Just fixed my. We knew it didn't pop right back. I25:25 know what? No, I just said that. I think an Endocannabinoid ologists will eventually be able to fine tune what people take based on the terpenes. And Jen, and you mentioned,25:38 you mentioned maybe one thing in the morning, right to get you ready for your day and another thing in the evening to help you get ready for bed.25:44 Absolutely. And if we could get to that point where people are doing this, then they're like, okay, or as needed. The delivery systems. It's like, Okay, I'm a little overwhelmed right now I'm feeling really anxious. I just did a little something to cut this off. And non addicting all these other things. And Eric can attest to this. When we see these patients and we cringe every single time how many people show up young people. You look at their med list and you're like holy cow that Xanax, that's three different antidepressants. You got a muscle relaxer. How maybe Ambien will frequency so much Ambien, so much other sleep medicines. But let's look at the addictive potential of some of these medications, ultra opioids and benzodiazepines almost criminal, what has happened with these addictive medications that we know they're addictive, but without anything else to give them and you have a patient that's there. And as physicians and healthcare I ultimately want to help people and I have given opioids and I have had the discussion with them. Like I understand you're in a tremendous amount of pain, I need you to sleep. I'm willing to give this to you for a very short period, because I feel like if I can get you to sleep, your pain will be markedly better. And we can stop these other things. As somebody who the world's now not that recent, but five months or so ago, I had my first real neck injury where the pain was an I've redefined my pain scale kind of thing. People go, Oh, that's an eight out of 10 I really thought stubbing my toe. redefine it. And we've talked about him before but Wade McKenna, an orthopedist, you know, he told me he's like, Listen, I'm gonna, I don't I don't like, you know, hitting you with a bunch of opioids and stuff like this, what we really need is to call the muscles down, I'm going to give you a long acting, benzo for days, take it for four days, stop taking it after that, because your muscles will calm down at that point, there was a plan, there's a plan to get me on as a plan to get me off. And he purposely said, I don't mess with these opioids. Are you kidding me? As an orthopaedic surgeon, and when if we could sit there and say, okay, you a patient comes to me, I'm a, I'm a primary care doctor, and somebody has a significant injury. And so tell me what the biggest thing about this. It's the anxiety of knowing that I don't know what's going to happen, okay, then you give a blend, which is more effective on the anxiety, tell me what's happening here, the pain keeps me up. Okay, let's do this, we now have the opportunity to treat these symptoms that ultimately may or may not need some other intervention. But we know it's not addictive. We know that it actually has. And now we're going to get into the science of it. But we know that it actually has these different properties that help decrease the inflammatory processes by blocking p parganas. by blocking these different pathways, g couple proteins, we can get all sciency about it. But the reality is, I don't do that with my patients, I say, Tell me what it is that's bothering you the most. Let's see if we can give you something for that. That's the beauty of what you're doing right now. Good blend has the ability to take these natural molecules in different ratios to help in different scenarios. Totally agree.29:15 I mean, that's actually hit you reminding me it's kind of dissonant disheartening to look at a patient's med list when they come in. And there's a bunch of things kind of like what can just describe, and we're almost used to the polypharmacy or the or the multiple meds that are all listed there. And truly, knowing that a natural alternative could probably reduce that load. So we're playing less of this chemical warfare with this patient because it's almost a new we're kind of hinting at it earlier. It's almost like you're taking one thing to balance out the other thing that I've just gave them this new thing, and you're almost always chasing rather than actually treating and then and letting them be themselves.29:59 So we are getting that feedback from patients which is that once they've been on our medicine for a while they're their drug list is decreasing. Tell us I've we've had we have been able to stop these three things and now I'm down to these things I've been able to reduce the dose of these things. And if you I'm not, I'm not asking you to do this, but if you want to go Oprah on me and ask for patient testimonials I I made, you know, their tear jerker is really, in terms of helping things we're able to do with people.30:25 Well, you know what, yeah. Do you want to do it? Brian? Yeah, yeah. Tell me about one word, somebody, it made such a profound difference in their life that they couldn't hold back.30:34 Yeah. So there's a there's a patient we have that has terminal cancer. And that was a hard just that you guys have these conversation. I don't, it was a hard conversation for me to have. But he had a great outlook on his life. And he started taking our medicine, and he was able to cut back on his opioid use. And the way he described it to me was, it's not just good for me, it's really good for my family. Because on opioids, I'm a zombie. And with your medicine, since I've been able to decrease the opioids, I can be myself around my family my final days. So they're hard stories, but happy stories. Another mom said to us, her son had so many seizures a day that, and he had so many anti seizure medicine. He was kind of just there, right? But on our medicine, he was able to stop taking some of his anticonvulsant medicines. And he said, how this is when it gets me he says to us, one day, Mom, I have feelings.31:34 Wow.31:36 That's, I mean, what a What a crazy thing to have to lose as a kid the ability to basically participate in life because it's being taken away from you by a chemical that up until now was necessary, because you you obviously can't just sit there and suffer from seizure activity over and over again, that's, that's dangerous in and of itself. Right. But not knowing that there's a better alternative is honestly criminal. It's criminal, not to know that there's a better solution than just taking anticonvulsants to control I'm assuming epilepsy or something similar to32:09 right. So that's, so that brings up a really good point that mom, I have feelings. These medications have side effects, and the side effects that most people don't talk about as the pharmaceutical medicines, the pharmaceutical medications. Correct. So I get so many of these patients that are on polypharmacy, because so many of them have anti parasympathetic, meaning they affect the gut. Almost all of them do one way or the other. Oh, I have diarrhoea. When did that start? Six months ago, I see you're on Zoloft. When you start Zoloft. Seven months ago, huh? I have so much conversation What's going on? Oh, you're on the opioids? Oh, I've got a date all there. I'm fully aware that there's completely these are necessary drugs. But my job when I during residency. Some of us were chosen for basically treating older people. So I went to the older people clinic. And so my the technical term for it, that's the tactic. The older people,33:21 obviously, yes.33:23 Yeah. The layman's term is gerontology. But yeah, but we call it the older people. OPC. I would sit there. And as a resident, I'd looked at these lists, I'm like, you're 90, you're still here. Why do we care about your cholesterol that has this effect on this? And this? Why are you on this? Right? My sole job I viewed in that clinic, was to just get people off medicines, because the side effects at some point are just completely Yeah, outweighing that. And that was just a lifetime of going to this doctor that doctors cardiologists going to give this guest route, they just keep adding up. They just keep adding up him. Somebody shows up with a list of this. None of these drugs have ever been conducted in a trial, where they're all together. What happens then? We don't know. Well, I'm dealing with that now. And I've got a nine year old person and just every time they'd come back, they'd be more alert more. If you made it to 90. You're a baller. You've done it right. You deserve to drink, what's your mama smoke,34:28 what you eat what you want, do whatever it is. And they would love that by the time they were there. Yeah, they start having fun again, and it was just about getting them off their drugs. You got to hit on something, though. And maybe you seen this because you said you've seen a show or or two but something that we've had we have hit on is lifespan, and life expectancy is just a number. But what's way more important truly, to enjoy those numbers is to have a good health span. And to be able to function and participate in life if you're going to live it. You may have It'll be involved in it right? How do you How does? How does your company view healthspan? In relation to to that?35:09 I would say it's similar to the the things we've been talking about, which is if you can, if, if there's, if there's an opportunity to live a higher quality life, right. And there's a natural way to do that, and to get off some of the pharmaceuticals that maybe are causing some of the side effects, and you can live a happier higher quality life. I mean, that's, that's what we're here for. Right? It's kind of what I talked about well being that's exactly what we're here for.35:36 So if you gave two quick testimonies, one, obviously about someone with epilepsy and one from somebody who was suffering from terminal cancer, yes, what other what other ailments to kind of focus on as it stands right now?35:51 The so there is a treatable conditions list on Texas. And it is, it was created by statute. As you know, it started out in 2015, as intractable epilepsy, that was the only treatable condition. In 2019, the programme was expanded in a significant significant way where a lot of new conditions were added. So terminal cancer, autism, ALS, Parkinson's, spasticity, a whole giant category of conditions under the headline, incurable neurodegenerative diseases. And that has a list of about 300 things underneath it. So it was pretty significant expansion. And I would say across all those, all those treatable conditions, we're hearing positive testimonials.36:36 That's fascinating. And actually, I had glanced at it, I don't think that they cannot have spent any time on it. But I did notice that there was autism. And I don't know that you do you have a testimony or not. But it's definitely something that's near and dear to this guy in our research, just to polyphenols but he's made he's made no mistake about it. There's a play there with with cannabinoids as well.36:59 Yeah, I'll give you my I'll give you my take. In fact, we work with a great asset. She's been on the show before Angie cook. And she wrote up an incredible which I've yet to publish, partly because at the time, people were being I mean, Texans don't even I, I can go around right now and talk to my patients about CBD. And I've got CBD all over my office. And they will be like, Oh, boy, no, I'm not into that. And I'm like, let me explain that to you real quick. And let me explain this. Do you have any chronic condition, whatever, like, Well, yeah, totally do well, and then they end up, you know, purchasing it and saying, yeah, it made a huge difference. And it comes down to that rebuy rate. So as a business person, we know that I've got a almost 50% rebuy rate on Tron teal. And this is like, you know, worldwide. We know that that works. Because as if anybody's ever been in the pharmaceutical industry, I prescribe a drug and they come in and I'm like, Did that work and their trials that you know, the studies show? It's 8% better than placebo, whatever. So it all comes down to does the person want to come back and purchase more? That's To me, that's the that's where the rubber hits the road. My move towards autism became very personal. When I had a patient that brought her son in and he had become I'm an adult doctor, he had moved on from paediatrics to adult. And she said he's becoming almost impossible to take care of when he eats. He cannot communicate. He flailed he gets almost violent. And he's, you know, he's 16. Is he just becoming a young man, and this is getting really bad. I said, Listen, I don't know a whole lot about autism. But I do know that. You said when he eats, let's treat his gut. Let's fix his gut. And I'm just now getting into something where I believe it will play a role. And I put them on CBD. And now looking back, we're going to look at this, I'm going to be sitting in a lecture someday and an endocrinologist will have the exact thing to give that person. But right now that was best I could do is your mother shows up three months later, crying. And her son is communicating, not high level, but she's like, he's like, Hi. And he's talking. And I'm like, How do you feel? And he's like, you know, good. And she's like, This is crazy. It's been 10 years and I have not seen this person. And like, I don't know if it was the fix in the gut. I don't know if it was the CBD regardless, I think it's both. And that's where it came in. So then Angie did this incredible write up and maybe we can team up with your people to get it published, but it's like 50 pages long. It's super sciency. It's all about autism and the effect on the endocannabinoid system. And when I go to my colleagues and they say there's no science on this, we share a Mandalay capability, what Mandalay is. So we share this, the repository of journals that are out there are published and we've got a whole folder on There's a whole folder on CBD a whole folder on cannabis and cannabis. And the sciences, they're animals to humans. The problem is the science in the United States is not here the science that is recognised by our journals here, because, and we talked about this, that people don't realise that it was approved if you're going to study cannabis, and Michael Pollan was talking about this, the author Michael Pollan was talking about this, that the cannabis, which is approved by the FDA to be used in studies. It comes from one place, one place some crap lace, it's like 60 years old. Yeah, it's been around, and kind of just40:40 shit marijuana. It just it's not indicative. It's not similar to the kinds of Medicinal Products that you're gonna get.40:47 Yeah, exactly. This40:48 is what it is, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this is, this is what all sanctioned and allowed us research is done on is basically just this one lot. Correct.41:00 or from a federal perspective, I believe that's right. Yeah. Having said that, very exciting news in this most recent legislative session. Nice. The statute that they added to the statute that Texas can start its own research programme. So the department State Health Service real for real so yeah, they're they're writing the rules right now. And yes, it's very exciting. So Texas cannabis research. Does part of the Texas compassionate use Berg did not know that did not know that. And it goes beyond the treatable conditions list. For sure. do research, the research, whoever the research institution is picks what they want to study,41:40 I need people to hear that said a little bit close with money. Which part the?41:46 The research so the Texas compassionate use programme is introducing a research element. And the department State Health Services is writing the rules right now. I think they're even posted for public comment. And it's gonna happen. And so the research, whoever the research institution is, and they provide a list of who can qualify, you pick the condition you want to do research on. You do have to find an IRB. But it's sky's the limit. Oh,42:12 my gosh, that makes me so excited that just that turned into hope for my IBD patient. Yeah.42:20 So just to click and you42:21 get to use our products. You don't have to use the federal cannabis.42:25 Okay, I have been that is exciting having you on just for that one thing. I hope my partners listen to this because ga right now is we're getting close to 1000 providers strong. And in the state of Texas, basically everybody in the state now as part of this one group, to be able to power a study like that could be fan tastic. I have just, I thought that it was completely prohibitive. And Gotta love Texas. Gotta love. We're gonna do it in Texas if the feds don't want us. That's awesome.42:59 No comment on that. Your point about autism, I've had the I've been very fortunate to be able to attend a to medical cannabis conferences in Israel. And then one was in LA. And there's plenty of studies out there about autism and THC for43:14 sure. And that's what this 50 page review that Angie put together, put a lot of sweat and tears into it. And it's something that we should probably team up with some of your scientists to update it because it's about two years old. Yeah. But I was shocked reading it, the level of science, the level of information out there, and the amount of benefit that you can actually do and the correlation. So for me as gastroenterologist the correlation that when the endocannabinoid system is off, it affects all systems. But in my opinion, all health begins and ends in the gut. If you don't have a healthy gut, you ultimately affect the brain. And we've got we've done podcasts on this where we can show that neuro inflammation or chronic inflammation affects f h, which is the enzyme that breaks down your own endocannabinoids. And when you lower your inanda mind, which is the one that you know is your low level keeping you there. It's your body's own equivalent to THC. It's your body's own equivalent. And then on the flip side, when you have to a G which is the spotlight if that's getting turned on all the time, that's your that's like a that's the other portion of the endocannabinoid system. The difference between a Stanford grad and a simple country but doctrine Nebraska is I've used the same example the endocannabinoid system, but you referred to it as a symphony conductor. I refer to it as a traffic cop. Yeah. They're both good. I could say mines. You know what? I won't say. Yours is more elegant to start using that from now on. Yeah,44:52 elegant was exactly the word I was gonna say. So I'm glad you said it is refined and yours is quickie, Martin.45:00 To your point about the importance of the gut. And if you haven't checked out this research, please do. I think you're gonna find it very interesting. There's one of the leading researchers in the field of cannabis is a Dr. Ethan Russo. And he has a I think he calls it. I may begin this wrong, but the grand unified theory, but of course it spells out gut, but it's all about the the brain gut connection and with the endocannabinoid system as a key part of it, and you've you've addressed this in previous conversations, but they're all tied together.45:33 One of my problems that I have had, and I'm curious how you and your sales people have dealt with this, it's the person that I know how to say this. I'm enthusiastic. And it took me a long time I've read vitamin weed, which is a great book, forgot the Michelle Ross, Michelle Ross. That's it. Michelle Ross wrote that she's a PhD. You know, there's Goldstein's book. These books are great. But I had to read them a couple times. The first time I started getting into it before you start going because it's it's a different language. It's that's why I think we're gonna have an Endocannabinoid ologists. My problem is when I have somebody, it's that the vomit of knowledge that I have to keep myself from doing when somebody is like, what's that? And then you start getting into it, and you're like, what's the endocannabinoid system? So I've always I'm a little bit curious, from a business perspective, how you as a company, get into that naive, let's just start with the naive doctor46:38 that says, Why don't know about this? They start with the, you know, yeah, you know, I'm kind of curious. He may not want to divulge everything, but I really kind of want to know how many practitioners throughout the state are actively participating in this programme.46:50 So the state publishes some data about the programme. The most recent date is from July, and there were over approximately 50046:59 Oh, wow, it's much47:00 bigger than I thought. And to be a prescribing doctor, you have to be a board certified specialist, as you are. So it's, it's not every doctor, you have to write you have to be board board certified. And then the patient, the patient count as of July was right around 7070 507,500. That may not sound like much, but it's growing 10% every single month. Well, it'll be one of those things every single and this is in the in the official kickoff was 2019. Right. For the first patients. The first patients were actually served in 2018. Okay, not by us, but okay.47:38 So that is so tip of the iceberg because as a clinician, I went on once I found out you know, one of your sales people that had has known me for a long time as a friend and they got involved with this knowing that I'm involved with CBD and understand the endocannabinoid system. So first thing I did is I tried to sign up well, my specialty is not listed. So as a gastroenterologist, I'm not listed as currently interesting currently, because when I did the whole thing and went through it and tried to I couldn't find that. And then for me, it was a little daunting to say, Well, I'm internal medicine is there on board certified internal medicine, but I really practice 100%, gastroenterology. And I did not want to false under any false pretences as this is, because it's just a matter of time. It's better a short time. So discussing that, from a business perspective, what can I do? As a physician who's very interested in this? help some of the legislation, bring in other let's start, I've got a tonne of questions about that all these little things, but help bring in other specialists are there? I mean, I don't I don't even know I don't even know, like committees are?48:55 Well, hopefully, a discussion like this helps. Right? For starters, right? It was one of the reasons. I mean, hopefully doctors watching this who are board certified specialists who are intrigued and have heard how much this can help will apply to get the programme. It's very simple for doctors to get in. You, you just provide your Texas Medical licence number, I think and your board certification number and the Department of Public Safety checks those two things. And that's pretty much the extent of it, you become registered and at that point, they very much leave things up to the doctor. That's one of the great things about the programme is Let's trust the doctors.49:33 So in this case, not knowing enough about that. I'm like, Well wait till my specific specialty, it just there was neurology, oncology, pain, internal medicine. There was a lot of specialists so if there's a physician listening to this, go check it out, because more likely you're there. I'm just saying that gastroenterology was one of the few that was not listed.49:55 I can I can certainly bring that up with them and ask, you know, we can get If we can get that specialty added, I'm surprised it's not on there.50:02 That was eight months ago, nine months ago, something like that. Maybe it is I haven't checked recently. But I thought, well, it should50:11 be one of the things I think you should be is. And I actually learned this from you in our very first phone call. One of the treatable conditions, which I don't think I listed before is called spasticity. And it is unlike everything else on the list for your very intelligent audience. They know as soon as I say that they're like, which one is not like the other spasticity is a symptom, am I correct, and everything else is a sort of a disease or condition. And you informed me that much of what happens between the mouse the top and the bottom, you know, by the way, for those who don't know, if you get on a phone call with a gastroenterologist, it can get like, it was unexpected. I was not expecting to have that conversation. In my day. I'm on the phone. I'm like, Whoa, because we went top to bottom, or you did, but apparently, it's all a lot of it's muscle. And there can be spasms in that muscle spasticity in the muscle, and that is a treatable condition.51:03 It's nerves innervating muscles and the muscles if they go into spasm create tremendous pain. And if you're ever worked in ER, and you ask an ER physician, what's the what's some of the most common complaints, it's abdominal pain. Now that can be all the way from a perforated bowel appendicitis. But a lot of times people just get labelled, Oh, you've got a bug or IBS, and then they get sent out. That's it's a huge chunk, because it covers so much territory. So yeah, for spasticity. If we can get the spasticity handled, I can help so many people, my cebo people. So if you have small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, one of the reasons why you have so much pain is because the bacteria produce gas, which stretch the intestines, in a reflex, the intestines trying to track back, that's a spasm, this is reminiscent of our phone call together. except you're eating at the time. When somebody poops like this, you want to make sure that52:06 I'm kind of curious about if if, in the new, you put it in these words, if a if a interested position, or one on the fence, even we're, we're considering this, and you've already talked about what it takes to get approved. So let's talk a little bit about what's the experience like to be that practitioner. For one, you write a, an opioid, or what something has a highly addictive property, or even if it's classified that way, it's called a controlled substance. And then in Texas until recently, we always came with the paper, triplicate, I mean, there was a there was a form to do so. So what's it like? What's the process for the writing of the prescription? And the experience going through your company? And what is the physician See? How is it dispensed? What's the fall ill insurance your ongoing?52:52 Sure. A challenge for a patient can be finding a doctor who can prescribe we've tried to help with that by we have we have a virtual clinic on our website. So if you go to good blend calm, you can actually see a doctor through telehealth, it's one of the very great things the state of Texas has done is enabled telehealth for this programme, which is super exciting. You can see a doctor through a telehealth appointment or you can go to a doctor's office and see them there. They're either either the doctor will diagnose you with one of the treatable conditions, or you bring your medical records from a different doctor who's, for instance, if you had a patient and in their chart, and you'd put spasms of the gutter specificity, or they could actually take that chart to another doctor and get a prescription.53:37 That is fantastic video. So as somebody who's learning and I'm risk averse, and all these things, I just don't want to I want to make sure that I follow the lay of the wall, which is why I stopped when my own specialty wasn't there. That is fantastic to know that I can say look I can right now I'm not comfortable doing it. But I truly believe that you could benefit from this, please go to this website. Set up a virtual visit. Show them this note, fax them my clinic note 100% Oh, that's54:08 easy fan. TAs this, that's awesome news because it actually allows a physician on the fence or is worried about blowback from maybe their own partners, they can now safely dip their toe in the water and say, Look, I've got a pathway for you to get we have doctors that do this all the time.54:21 Oh my gosh, that is great. You're exactly right. When I first started doing CBD, one of my partners grabbed all my all my pamphlets and said brown wants to sell weed in our clinic. That's fine, but I'm not taking part of it. Not a joke. So and then if I actually,54:37 you know because there's just this much misinformation and and the people don't educate themselves. That is awesome. Because what are we talking about here and you said it you started off this interview. We want to help people and the people we want to help as the patients and you don't care if you're getting the credit as the doctor who is being in this position to do Do that. This is about the patient who comes in and says I hurt or I can't get over it or I as you said with the with the kiddo I can't feel. Let's get them on a route to do so if you're uncomfortable doing it's fine. Let them take what you found with them and then and then head over to G website55:18 not to digress really quick. But when you said that I can feel for the first time imagine your child who you love dearly that has never been able to express love can then express that because of this because you got them off these meds as living that's living. Yeah. That's, that's awesome.55:38 Yeah, it's fantastic. Oh, and I know you didn't mean to digress, but I am curious though. Yeah. Once they rot55:44 that continues a journey for Yeah, sure. So that everything the patient record for the programme lives on a Texas website. It's the it's called curtsy u RT, the Compassionate use registry of Texas. A prescribing doctor would go into it's it's an online service, but you go into you log into that service. And then you create a new patient profile for your new patient. And then you create a prescription for that patient. And so your prescription you have they give ultimate flexibility for how you want to write this prescription. The ones we recommend are flexible to give the patient flexibility. So you would specify here's the milligrammes of THC, I think would work for you over a an X day period. So this prescription is going to exist for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, we recommend 90 days, because I think one of things we've learned from the the, like the CVS is in the Walgreens of the world is that you can write that longer prescription you're going to get better compliance for for the second round of dispensations, but so 90 day prescription, this much THC and milligrammes and then you have to specify the means of administration, you can get very specific with that you can say, it's got to be tincture, or got to be a gummy, or there's a box that says, I think it says other any means other any means. And then there's a notes field. And so what you could say to a patient is, so you do all that. And you could say I recommend you start with this in the morning, this in the evening. And if you want to dabble with your, you know, try, try this and see how it works for you, you can try that too. So that all exists in an electronic record. The next step then is for the patient to contact, good blend. And then we they tell us their identifying information, we pull up that patient record and that prescription and we're able to dispense against that one opportunity for improvement in the programme. And some doctors do this some don't is you think about it, when the patient leaves that appointment. You know how this goes, I can't I can't remember really half what a doctor says when I leave that appointment, cuz it's a high stress, time. And when you get home, I have trouble remembering what the doctor said. So we do recommend you give the patient something that says, here's what I'm prescribing you, or you send them a follow up email and says, here's, here's the prescription I gave you, otherwise, they don't remember what you're prescribed. And then we're the ones reminding them, Hey, your doctor prescribed X, Y and Z. But that's the process. So you see a doctor doctor interest, the prescription into the compassionate use registry of Texas patient contacts us we dispense against that in terms of getting the medicine and products to patients. We offer a lot of different ways to do that. We started out as 100% a delivery model. So we were delivering to patients homes. We've recently added the the ability for patients to come into certain doctor's offices and pick up their what they've ordered. And even more recently, we've added the ability. It's almost like a miniature retail experience. But we bring unassigned product into the doctor's office, and a patient could walk right out of your appointment. you've entered their prescription and occurred and we can they can shop right there and buy what they want. And then so a one stop shop.58:50 Let me clarify that really quick. So you're saying that a physician can actually have product in their office and they can sell it directly to the patient.58:59 We do the selling? Yes. Okay. We are there in the in the lobby or wherever, wherever we are and patient comes in and they they see what we have to offer and then they buy what the prescription says and sorry, pharmacy extension, essentially essentially I'm okay. Okay,59:13 so just one small caveat on this journey, so far, so much like, just so that people don't think that a physician is just guessing what the milligrammes are, whenever a new minute, whenever a new medication comes out that isn't cannabis. They utilise representative representatives to go and educate a physician. I doesn't matter if it's a new blood pressure medication. Every blood pressure medication that you've ever taken has had a representative go in and basically detail a physician on that. So I would imagine that there is a detailing process on best practices, things to look for cues. Correct. Thank you for bringing that up.59:51 Yes, we as you would a physician would not be guessing. We have we have dosing guides. In For instance, if you want the prescription to be 90 days long. And you're thinking about prescribing x, we have a recommended daily dose and just multiply by 19. Put that into the prescription. So yes, we, we provide all those sorts of collateral educational material and that1:00:09 kind of stuff. I mean, that's, that's not unique just to cannabis. I mean, we do that literally with every single pharmaceutical that has ever been rolled out. Physicians practitioners need to be educated on it. So this, love this because this is no different. And except for that it is because people have worried away from it. And I think it shouldn't1:00:31 be different, right? And we're getting to the point where it's not sure I got here, you one other way, it's similar to the way prescriptions work in the pharmaceutical side is, if a patient were to call us or, or ask for something that was slightly different than what you prescribed, then we have the ability to contact the prescribing doctor and say, Hey, the patient is interested in this slightly different than what you prescribe. So for instance, let's say you, you check the box for tincture, and the patient decides they want to try our 12 ounce beverage or patient wants to try gummies might be in the same ratio might even be the same dose, it's just a different means of administration, we're able to contact you and say, Are you okay? If the patient gets this instead, and then we just write the note into the look like a little hamster typing there. We just write the note into the, into the prescription.1:01:21 But I mean, that happens with generics and name brands and regular pharmaceuticals, too. So I mean, I think I think it's awesome that y'all it's it's completely your legitimising something that should have been legitimise a very, very long time ago. I love that you'll have that in your model. Yeah, it's1:01:36 transparent. Yeah. I love how that's, that's well. And also, let's, since you brought it up several times, let's talk about these different means of administering. If you have examples, like what what are some of the things that you that you've seen your practitioners have success with that some of the clients the patients seem to like, because a lot of people don't realise A lot of people think oh, I, I don't I just have to smoke it. Right. That's the only thing that that it's there for it. So this is a medicinal product. What are some of the ways? Sure, sure.1:02:06 So we started with started with tinctures back in the our first first couple months and and that was when the programme was in early days of the programme. I should back up a second say. One thing to note about the Texas compassionate use programme is we are capped at a THC maximum currently of 0.5%. by weight. If you know your you know the world of cannabis, you're thinking that's a very small amount of THC. It goes up to 1% starting September 1 based on most recent legislation, but one of the things we realised is that if depending on what the product is what depending what the means of administration is 0.5% can actually be a lot right the heavier the other ingredients are. The more you can get in there more THC you can put in the product and still stay below the 0.5% limit. So we had tinctures for a while and then we moved on to Los Angeles. We were the first company in the state to come out with an edible product like that it was lozenges meant to kind of dissolve in your mouth and for absorption of the cannabinoids after lozenges, we came out with gummies we're the first in the state come out with gummies we have one to one CBD THC ratio gummies and we have five milligrammes THC straight up. And in those gummies we've got different terpene profiles, we've got a sativa profile and indika profile that that's getting our doctors from prescribing flexibility we see you know, common common prescription might be take the one to one gummy, that's sativa in the morning, because it can be more stimulating and it's not you know, it's a one to one CBD THC so you have those working together. But when you're getting ready for bed, take the five milligramme indika gummy which can can be relaxing and can help you sleep. So those gummies really helped with prescribing flexibility. We then came out with lotions. So we've got some topical products, which now again you have to have one of the treatable conditions. But if you also have some other symptoms that could be helped by our medicines, then you're in the programme. Sure you have access to everything once you're in the programme. We launched medical capsules, which is a really nice, very precise dosing product for doctors. And then most recently, we were the first. By the way, all of these were first in the state. We most recently launched our 12 ounce beverage cannabis infused beverage, which I guess I have since I brought pot props, I might as well show the prop. It's empty because right now we don't have a prescription. But all these are getting great feedback I'd say are1:04:47 the most popular. What are some of the other products that you brought. These1:04:50 are all empty, of course there's our gummies here, these are the Texas Orange City, the five milligrammes I got one of our lotion, one of our topical lotion jars, here. Sure. Thank you for asking that question because one of the things I should mention is one of the things we did launch, this is our dream tincture. So it's it's designed with a terpene profile for evening use. Yeah, but one of the things we also did with this tincture, and it's a different bottles that we added, lowers, they can go to our website and see a nice rendering of the bottle. But one of things we did with this launch of the dream tincture is we had a

He is an influencer in the gastroenterology world definitely she was the former president of the Texas Society of gastrointestinal G.I. TSG whatever that stands for but anyways he was president of that he got a political science degree from Penn University super smart I worked with him for the last 17 years he's an influencer always doing the right thing always looking at things from both a political and a patient centric view how do we do the right thing politically and make sure that the patient gets the best of everything we need more people like him out there talking about laws making sure that patients get access to healthcare and he's also the chief medical officer of the product or trauma ridges on emergent get into that and that's super cool also if you haven't heard of it stay tuned because it is so neat we're going to cover so much ground to the front so excited I respect both our guests so much and Anna learned a ton every sewer guest we have had I've learned a lot and that's one of the reasons why we do the show edit without question more thing to add to Jay I like to say that I've doing anesthesia I've gotten to work with a lot of different positions all different kinds of capacities but the people that often times stick out are those that you can tell are altruistic and function as real patient advocates has deftly Dr. J he's been that way since the day that I don't and it's it's no wonder why it's put him into the position that he's in now the cool thing is is that either one of these guests could easily get deftly have either one of them on specifically to talk about what all of their interest are just by themselves but they join together because they actually want to talk about this offer that's coming up later absolutely Emmy is more likely will have each one of these guests back on to give them a full hour and have to say whatever on their mind but today we have such a big offer that we believe it to really important people should announce it with us sure without question real quick paying the bills don't forget that if you ever suffer from bloating go to love my tummy.com/spoony that's love my Tommy.com/spoony use the code spoony it's also printed on that landing page whenever you get there and does save some money on the world's only NSF certified for sport product for IBS symptoms and bloating and if you're wondering what NSF is well Rachel can explain yeah she might just bill a bit familiar with it without being in sports nutrition and death course to all of the people that are just clever wondering really good sign that one of the things that I have been told by I was message said that so whenever you talk about the landing page people did not realize how much money they can save when the putting that code spoony so not only do you go there and get it but you're gonna save a lot of money was pretty surly listening use that code use it as it saves money definitely all a lot of money that's right and just to follow after that train of thought there Oya this last week and received lots of email keep them coming I appreciate all of the comments we had last week of Chris being on episode number eight Christmas song course was the market expert for him but I'm still getting requests for information on how to connect with that James Carroll and of course how do I find Dr. Wade McKenna if you want to know anything about stem cells go back to that episode so much so that he was spotted on our episode by someone making a ducky series about stem cells and now Dr. Wade McInnes can be featured oh that's awesome that crazy man one thing I learned from that night I just said I respect him as a doctor that stood by his guns and realize that he developed this get a patent on something church and just to reiterate that a better thing came out anyway you better come and use you even though my names on this thing that is amazing to me that you shows pure patient advocacy so it's hard work for me is that it looked a lot easier my brain but yeah that's right I think that the just blown my mind with at the infancy of where stem cell is same thing with all these other topics that were really try to tackle here and show you will try and bring a little knowledge differently so if if you want to connect with the show to ask more

check project and on iTunes search.check project so absolutely now to move into the little personal stuff like we normally do and you hit some KB MD corner news so that Ken is going on I got an interesting week I just came back from Newark New Jersey right where I was part of filming our national commercial for trying to nine are going to launch a national campaign on TV that's always fun to go there and see a totally different industry and realize what's happening and I guess the the take away it was good it went really well is really fun when I was doing my makeup I had to laugh because I was this the makeup artist had all her material out there and of course as a guest neurologist one thing I noticed Miller's tons of things was a tube of Preparation H grab that and I said you know I can help you with this issue like she is and how it I my casserole dishes like oh my gosh no use of her eyes I put another piece of the bag felt like saying if you preparation H layout picture hemorrhoids said that she's fine pretty hard to explain them away so I did that and the kids the usual thing would go to my daughter Carl in theater is their learning about wicked so now she wants you to New York watch with good and will probably maybe consider going in August when that superhot wants the U.S. Open also I don't know but I'm being coerced into going to watch wicked in New York and my son just came back from Florida where he played in IGF which is the next level XVIII and under kind of thing you heavily second round upbeat by the 70th right player in the world did it proudly played well and the guy that did it pulled him aside and kinda coach Leftwich which I think is the coolest eyes and said you're brewing up and comers is awesome work on this work on this hidden feedback he gave them feedback this is this is this what I did when you did this so yeah and that's so was worth the trip to Lucas he lost second-round beloved so what's wrong with your family the boys are basically just attacking the hoop this said this, we can they have a quick tournament they both played over the weekend they they play dad Monday and that's that seems to be the agenda they did go and see the latest not this is how little I know about superheroes I know that there is a big blockbuster superhero movie that just came out and told Sue spoiler alert this for me I wouldn't do it because I don't even know the name of it as they both my girl you know that that's when the running joke is that don't do any spoiler alerts everybody it's all over read it I don't know you don't have to do that I don't have your luck you do a starless vision arguing for now absolutely not and wife is doing great she's really busy this weekend with a bunch of the local activities she's heavily involved with that and then not getting run with you actually on a quick business trip at Arizona separate in the transit the week for me yeah we one quick shout out to a friend of mine and a colleague Dr. Stuart Ackerman he's a part reminder to check them out he's a specialist in the pancreas issues biliary US ERCP that kind of thing but he sent me a link to somebody that we both really like it's little Dickie yeah remember the wrapper little Dickie just came out with an earth video was really cool was he sent me a follow-up video on YouTube where he talks about how the way that we are producing our food is affecting the environment what I loved about it through some of the cows producing methane and of course that's right in our wheelhouse until yeah so you don't methane what if your bacteria grow merchant you're going to get very bloated and when that happens it can affect you know we always talk about our demographic and our avatar when we talk about marketing you really need to dial it in and I was messaged by half port Bjorn soon he plays the mountain from Game of thrones and Magis von Magnuson they have me that heavy letter from ESPN ESPN strongman yeah and they said you know we get bloated also and you're ignoring our demographic what yeah and so I spoke with you know I spoke with our team at the altar until I said were completely ignoring a group of people here and so were you got a new SKU for the mountain of game of thrones and Magnus Vaughn Magnuson fields take over the microsecond down I will go ahead and show you this is going to narrate what reductions doing okay so he stepping away and I get out of do this in golf voice or not you listening to I tend you can see the visual who he's opening up backhoe he's training down like you got an atlas down all my goodness there is a gigantic take green box marked just like the familiar Arbitron teal box while yeah so this is our newest view is trying to yield for strongmen it is a it is 40 kg look like a like a month on your back will I can tweet it I'm faking it right now all intentions even the later nature calls on that inflammatory response so I know this is not a strong man I know they did not actually message me this is actually a gift for episode number nine from our CEO Chuck Scott also super cool nice it looks it's an exact replica of the little one originally this guy right here at all times because I'll try until we can fix people we help with their bloating even strongmen but they don't have to take the big box was nice in the coal that was such a cool gesture and supernatant that's you know something that we get the word out for international commercial now yeah like that and I just got is the CEO KBS research the parent company of trying to also add nice work. There Chuck I do notice though can hear the bottom it says I 90 capsules just like the yeah like the regular size yes so in the also says to 75 mg just like the regular size are you there must be a lot of empty space in these capsules well knowing that we were initially making this for strongmen how you know each capsules about 2 inches long and filled with lead social to really weigh it down okay since no one can swallow so if you if you ordered the large volume here Voltron tales going to cost you a lot of shipping and you will not be will go through metal detector and lead poisoning social just just order the smile you have a bigger one here for you like I had to laugh Chuck Scott just messaged us and said oh my gosh you had me going I thought you were seriously well yeah that's what you I like that know that's that's awesome I think that is so cool and you don't mean that's what were trying to do as a company were trying to sponsor spoony radio care so the alternate what you brought up Morse code last weekend and bid chow down and there's water you chow down his restaurant on his lot really really cool shows and of course we got our we got a man Patrick chef Patrick is yet a show so gently awesome well once you hit up the corner and let us know what's on the other research page for this week so basic what we always like to try and do is talk about a little bit of science here, try get that this really quick and it's gonna seem like a lot but I will come full circle and explain it at the variant and the reason I'm doing this is because our guest Dr. J Perry happens to be an expert on one of these things right on okay and what's silent here that by so I'm a big fan of the PhD name Michelle Ross meeting she wrote a book called vitamin weed and I think it's one of the more comprehensive molecular books that I have read and she covers a lot of ground here one of the things that we always have is the end of cannabinoid system we all have it just as important as the gastrointestinal system all those everywhere in the body if you think about what it really does is it links the neurologic system and the immune system so it really ties those two together so it's extremely important for a lot of different things the purpose of this is actually like a traffic cop and control the amount of nerve and about nerve activity going back and forth so just try to make sure that everything works well which is why work so well in anxiety and autoimmune diseases so the end of cannabinoid system helps deal with physical and emotional stress so now what is a cannabinoid basically you can take a cannabinoid final cannabinoid you can synthetically make one drug not a fan of those sure and your body makes him what were to talk about are the cannabinoids that your body makes okay so it's it gets into a little bit deep stuff but the most prominent thing that I want you to keep in mind is that there's two and or cannabinoids that everyone always talks about Ananda mind into a Jew when record our mothers because those are the ones ever talks about and they deserve their own hour each what I want to talk about our the atypical ones and then this actually explains why a full-spectrum Fido cannabinoid like the KB MD brand right here powered by Alexa no actually works a lot of different ways and that's one of the reasons why I believe that the full spectrum will always outperform a synthetic cannabinoid or drug cannabinoid buds naturally powered by numbing it's basically a doorway that nature intended it to happen so course is usually better yeah so even if you know quite a bit about CBD so if we get our people out there like I know all about it yeah and about to Aegean and Ananda might listen up because this is a little different so I want to talk about four different Endo cannabinoids one of him is called PEA P like a grantee that she stands for and Palma told EO then Nola mean originally discovered an egg yolk ticket of this is that it has been shown to have a potent anti-inflammatory activity and has a role in preventing neuropathic and chronic pain while one of the problems is that alcohol decreases PTA okay so keep that in mind because a lot of people trying your luck you will develop alcoholism or opiate abuse because of chronic pain a full spectrum vital cannabinoid has PEA in it so it acts in synergy with the other main one to AG and Amana mind born entourage effect when you help those out and it inhibits an enzyme that breaks it down called F88H so the enzyme FAA age breaks down your endogenous under cannabinoids So that's one I hope this works on inflammation and chronic pain then there's a supercool one called OE a and only old less than Nola mean OEA let's unfamiliar does sound familiar it's in this bottle and holding my hand from ridges on exactly what they have and here's the key ingredient's riches on one of the sponsors of mojo and spoony chief medical officer Dr. J Perry coming on the show today want to let him talk about why they put a concentrate of OEA in a bottle want to tell you is that your body makes some OEA and it's been shown to do some pretty cool things this is produced naturally in the small intestine from fatty acids and the major target is another cannabinoid receptor called P part alpha easy for you to say I know that's a proliferator activated receptor alpha now that is something that I would be doing quite a bit writing on because people are alphas or NP pile for people or gamma our associate with inflammatory processes in ulcerative colitis also the proctitis wow so I'm in a working to be publishing some really geeky cool stuff but I just want to throw this out there really quick that OEA has been shown to be good for brain health and believe it or not it's actually been shown to increase memories in rodents and it doesn't pretty cool things for weight loss but I believe that the doctor your Perry later because that's where most of the science is been done but they have shown that this molecule actually helps the brain and memory it is so wild I mean basically were talking about natural compounds available to us to make us feel better and stopping inflammation in it wild bit how many times over the last decade now have you encountered this this this crossroads of stop inflammation help your neurotic neurologic system help the way that you think helped ladies sleep I mean there's a lot of other connectivity there it just keeps going back to all health begins and ends got exactly in his illegal had explained Dr. Pursley go ahead and explain about how rigid zone gets converted in the got into this potent molecule that works in his own, different science but I did not know it actually helped with memory in the brain as well so it decreases the inflammatory response that awesome number three something lumpy will heard of DH eat a dry and dull Xhosa hex being all teeth and no new beauty mean hard that's likely make acronyms for all these no real word it's really hard to Google now this is made from the fatty acid DHA which is fish oil omega-3 DHEA has been shown to reduce inflammatory gene expression there's that word again inflammatory your body will naturally produce the hormone DHA in the adrenal gland in turn DHEA helps produce other hormones like testosterone and estrogen Rachel's really get into that some adrenal fatigue some adrenal lagging this is the kind of thing that nutritionist work on and then the last one here is not an ADA Nora can O'Donnell dopamine it's not really clear how it's made but it is made in the brain in the hippocampus region it relieves pain increases sleepiness and decreases body temperature while relaxing your muscles okay so will all those neck all those acronyms those I brought this up is because when I give CBD FIFO final cannabinoid to my patients I get all different kinds responses now it makes sense you could be deficient in one of these so the short review was necessary because patients may tell me that they sleep better with her nerve pain is better now I can say oh if you have insomnia maybe your not all levels are low or that needs be increased or if your memory is bad maybe you need more OTA oh your sex drive is down how about increasing that DHEA in other words this is why a full spectrum high-quality CBD can be so effective it's filled with all these are the benefits that nobody ever talks about how they are talks about but you know ever but a lot of different people have made these connections if you want to be healthier if you want to sleep better if you want to feel they all go together you simply have to eat better so that you can sleep better to sleep better she can think better yet the sleep better so you can repair your body it's it's amazing we've only got every half-hour or so Dragon Go! I know but everyone to you now because we have our two guests on and limits I want you to watch this live trust me on this it is good to be a cool shoulder to cover a lot of stuff and it's the offer that's most important that he has said Rachel Scheer is coming on with Dr. JJ Perry to basically deliver some great news that is happening here has been announced anywhere else and trust me you don't want to miss it subscribe and share gut check project iTunes and YouTube seamen got an old car you can donate it whether it's running or not to the United breast cancer foundation and save a life they'll even come and pick it up for free the United breast cancer foundation has saved hundreds of women's lives through their free or low-cost breast screening exams but now they need your help the United breast cancer foundation wants to save more lives through early detection by offering women free or low-cost breast screening exams in donating your old car SUV or truck whether it's running or not helps pay for them plus you get a charitable tax deduction help the United breast cancer foundation save lives by donating your old car SUV or truck call now for free pickup 800-245-0823 800-245-0823 800-245-0823 call right now that number again is 800-245-0823 it looks like you're losing I am I losing weight I am losing my lost about 10 pounds how are you doing it funny name but I've done it with review zone RAD use zone.com and the stuff works it's unique it and all that the molecule Bissonnette found in that I can tell you is it it's it makes you feel full and keep your mind off of wanting to overeat and also boost your metabolism if you're done and more guy try it today it's gonna work for you like his work for Brad and countless other people read you zone.com are IDUs zone.com FastTrack student loans can get your student loans out of the vault stop any wage garnishments stop collection calls and stop seizure of your tax refund give yourself a break to stop the stress and get your student loan payments down to as little as $25 a month based on what you can afford to pay 800-709-4395 800-709-4395 800-709-4395 800-709-4395 five so here we are back where set up where you have Rachel cheer Rachel give us a little wave over here Dr. January's on his way to show Patrick over there messing with our sign so that's that should be resolved shortly and Dr. Jacob Perry is entering the room welcome Dr. Jay running a little behind his usual not a problem so Hayward while getting started here on this the second half hour being spent on what is on the second half hour want to welcome have your Mike oh I got him holding exam.

record is the first time we've attempted to guess at the same time and we are working the kinks out with one of the mice it isn't working but we have the two most important people in the room here Rachel why don't you go ahead and tell us who you are my name is Rachel Sharon and functional testing test here in the Dallas-Fort Worth area is not our idea by building and can accomplish it is that how you met Dr. Jerry Perry on the on the fitness model circuit precedent lot I try try to keep that on little bit second second CV if you so knowing what no one wants to see that the ups Michael Dr. J very quick bio here what's going on with you where you come from who are you for our listeners who might well so native of Louisville Kentucky missing home this weekend because the Kentucky Derby try to make it up as often as I can but been down here in Texas 18 years and haven't found a reason to leave yet so been fortunate to be your partner in our in our larger group practice for many years now and and enjoying working with you in a lot of different different different ways we have so far so absolutely so Rachel we went on mojo earlier for little bit we covered a lot of ground in just a very short period of time but I think one of the cool things is that you just recently gave a lecture at the millionaire mastermind club correct mastermind million-dollar mastermind tells about that and why were you chosen to do this that's a huge honor by writing something down at the heart grow closer and basically he brought on different influential people Oliver United States entrepreneurs have created their own business and any talking about sale of business strategies that they brought me on as a nutritionist very different type of form that my business name brand and being able to share my story nutrition is very important as we now for overall health think about it from a business standpoint I can again have your point is why nutrition is essential to building a business from an entrepreneur print right why how did you become so passionate about this and getting the word out about nutrition now nutrition is something that always been important to me and I suffered from mental illness speaking or lapping in very unhealthy environments my mom was very absent for most my child had an very unhealthy growing up they prompted me to want to get into nutrition and extending into Shanghai Weightlifting along the lines on background that growing up base nutrition and always doing the right thing for family and along with my right to allot and different health issues related to later on sale I really have to make a lot of different changes in my diet to really think out but worked slowly back up and do you think that your you said you were not making healthy choices because you were trying to become stage ready you are starting to get a whole fitness modeling tell me about the add big mythic between felid and health that we live in a world where everything is the last thing on building muscle and makes me look healthy from outside you can lose weight eating teepees the defendant don't print any packet to be healthy now and I think a lot of them might have me think carbohydrate is carbohydrate and fat really is not the case any nutrition Avenue the carbohydrate is a need to stand on bath a big misconception concurrent with my American Standard something one of the cool things is that you become very best about it I think his attrition is turning into a business as awesome as gastroenterologist J I did not get that much training nutrition during my fellowship did you well it's a great point you bring up Canon and listening to Rachel talk kind of got those wheels turning in my brain and to echoed the point you just made it's important we get no training in that regard I mean that traditional pathways all based on pharmacology and medications and treatments and interventions and procedures that we do but these kinda more basic fundamental building blocks mean it's cliché but you are what you eat breakfast by cringing when she hears me say that but I think it it it really resonates and rings true in the current era it's been it's not something that we patient always talk to us about it but is something we have to defer to someone like Rachel who is an expert because we don't have that training unfortunately you know it's not something that you and I talked about were when I sit there and I actually tell my patients point blank some of the best knowledgeable people are fitness people bodybuilders an extreme sports like triathletes because they have to take it to the level where they are so dialed in and I learned a lot I learned a lot from my other colleagues have done that there are people out there I got a chiropractor friend of mine that we brought up before his name is Dr. Ron try to bend us in the Plano area delete triathlete is the first guy that's talking about nutrition and whole foods and things like that and so what you did is you jumped into this started getting into the body changing type of mind came from a background of it sound like a very difficult childhood and you want to control your life and then you did something and you paid a bit of a price that we deal with patients all the time the commensal tongue what happened after that cell I Carolina stress dietary strength physical strength training very hard on a lot of mental stress this volunteer instructor is one mean initiators and Ellen and over the course of training really hard and really trying to down I did not hear gastrointestinal issues in the process where basically I remember I couldn't eat anything anymore without being severely distended a lot of chronic bloating brain side and I mean I was miserable and even now from the outside and looked healthy I like definitely not healthy Ceylon really prompted my change in nutrition and going more into that function functional medicine and nutrition that is what is the most common patient the senior officer I mean you can as you know we see the full variety of digestive and liver issues but I would say is not a day that goes by that a patient doesn't come in with some of the issues that that that that Rachel is described that we don't have a blood test for necessarily that we don't have a an x-ray to do that we don't have a procedure that we can do to assess but it's it's all part of being thoughtful careful listening taking a good history as we call it and and part of that now as as Rachel brought to light is understanding what our patients are eating with the putting in their bodies that can help contribute to the symptoms this is a new developing burgeoning area of inquiry research and in clinical endeavor into exciting meeting to see what's coming out this I think it's kind of a it's funny because even somebody like myself who considers myself more functional casserole just I do podcasts all outgoing people shows and I'm unfortunately I want to try everything to see if there's something that's there so that I can offer to my patients so I will try reading first and then do it and we have a mutual friend Kevin Wilson who is actually my primary care Dr. and I had to laugh because I got blood work done and he called me up and is like to what is going on like everything I'm doing everything is accordingly much this supplement the summer I can try to figure out where I overshot it and my bloodwork got really screwed up liver test one my cholesterol got all messed up I went okay can't do everything all at once and what I did the real big mistake that I did as I played partial Kito I did dirty Q Roseland Chito you know what I want to sort of cheated what I wanted not the exact worst thing that you could do so even when you're living it you don't realize that you're doing some of these things so like you're living in your eating bad so how did you end up correcting all of that well I went from a lot of different doctors to doctor that blew my mind right now I ever talked about he never went back to when I was putting into my body endoscopy colonoscopy CT scan and MRI and everything analysis got stopped at the label of irritable bowel thing on which to diagnosis at all like a stinking nice next contend that any biofuel into depression throughout this process depressed and I was offered laxity is not offering that many if I think I mean how getting diagnostic at one point I had misdiagnoses and always miss is getting medication and medication anyone really went on to write that will cause what is causing this in the first place I went to see you and I think you are one of the first doctors actually saw something that a lot of doctors hypermobility going on here can't cannot let one and she is going to the Mayo Clinic and found that actually had a genetic defect. Thanks Thomas Ingram is about to sail could have been added by weightlifting and again it still came back to and once I really looked at my limiting a lot of different taste in that standard American diet really started to make progress in fevers don't think you really feel better overall J you and I've had discussions about this your thought leader in the industry I'm in your recognize on a national stage and both of us wish we weren't so busy I mean if you were were really too busy and there's something going on here where people are getting sicker it really is an epidemic I mean I think you know we see these folks every day and and again where we continue to struggle with a lack of I guess where all creatures of habit we want to be able to offer the test want to be able to offer the treatment we want to be able to offer a cure that these are complex issues and in the very individualized I think the one thing that both of us have realized over time is one of a person one patient is any different from another patient and and it's not some boilerplate it's not in a page 32 the textbook it's can be very individual approach patient by patient but you're right I mean these patients are filling our offices were happy to help him but we have many more resources and we mean we need needs things up and go back to be able to offer patients think that every time the I did a patient where I struggle we figure something out I become better I learn and I know I've met all of your partners I got my partners and just about everybody I know in our group digestive health Associates of Texas D hat is a very conscientious group this is a smart group like I think we've collected some of the best gastroenterologists in the country in one area and everybody wants people to get better so unfortunately when a patient comes in and we don't you do: EGD when you start thinking outside the box when you start thinking about the functional aspect of it so when you said you are functional nutritionist can you expand on that little bit of function on looking hot now find people going into the doctor and I think I have Andy throw the mind filling in anything really interesting because not just interesting testing that will cause would be there diet their lifestyle that I can exercise and really trying to deal with my nutrition practice I'm looking at real cot why do we have this problem in the first place inlet committee to restore function and it comes back to the lifestyle I die like an exercise in meaning initiators as chronic in today's world I think when I talk to people one of the things I discuss his death rolled as I believe there's three pillars of health one of them is gut health absolutely all hope begins and ends in the gut to use the we are chronically fatigued society and three rain you know I discussed on that article the beginning there about these different final cannabinoids and help the brain help me when you address a patient that has something like this and what is your what is your methodology to try to figure out how you can help this person and I think you're the approach you outlined these three pillars is is is key I think this this concept of sleep hygiene is something that's been under recognized and underappreciated for a long period of time and these are not mutually exclusive pillars right any date they feed into one another that the lack of sleep increases cortisol levels you eat as a result you feed the beast when those cortisol levels are up such a self fulfilling prophecy so I think the those three really do feedback on one another not be too exclusive in any way but I agreement I think again it goes back to this individual approach the patient in and try to understand exactly what that root causes as rituals ELOQUENTLY put on to help that patient yeah I think it's so cool that you chose functional medicine is really cool is that you chose a very Hartfield to maintain as somebody who's always worked out and I'm digging on pushing 50 now and I am trying to work out harder to do it all this other stuff tell me about the lifestyle of somebody that actually gets ready to go on stage well completely different in mind the least of my problems for me in the work that is kind engraved in my routine now I love working out nutrition and I love you now feeling my body appropriately and that the whole mindset of having to get up on stage in preparation in the training of food and take a bath link takes it to a whole never not a level running out for general person if he could just focus on healthy foods and eliminating process and artificial fluid that can really make a huge deal in their health that for someone who is a an Olympic athlete or something like a bodybuilder are trying to get to a certain level things have to be a little bit more now than when it comes to their carbohydrates and fat and protein intake and definitely takes a lot more concentration in a lot more work to really fascinating because I just got in the mail about Glenn Greenfield second revision of his beyond training have you usually with Ruben Greenfield is yet so bad I did his part just been is a former bodybuilder than triathlete and then now he's just a big proponent of his brand is your wrinkled tile KIO and supercool guy but in his book his intro the first chapter is the description of a 50-year-old guy whose tried to maintain his try to be a triathlete and in the process became skinny fat increased distress started having injuries and also the stuff and it just shows that in this desire to maintain health sometimes we miss the big picture they can can hear me oh yeah hey it's Eric I'm all I got here in the garage I was really lonely I run out of did it really wasn't a problem not of had to go outside so you help them Parks and Kari took a wonder I kept trying to I know it's a mystery just to add about talking on then Ben is actually going to come up to demonstrate his audience he actually saw Ben and his helper Angel Keeley's going to come to North Texas so that we can do a colonoscopy on someone who has gone through the quota quotes getting fat and that being basically he him working in nutrition just like Rachel does and then of course Dr. J Perry working in gastroenterology I think that something is really cool by the two people sitting across the table from you is that these are collaborators and they collaborate and they want to do something for their audiences much like what Ben wants to do so why don't we can talk a little bit about what it is that we want to do for the people and then we can really cannot get into that for the next whole hour the absolutely so one of things we talk about here we've got a brilliant guest urologist and a brilliant nutritionist Dr. Jaeger Perry spent a lot of his free time advocating for patients on a political level is a political science degree from Penn University what you choose that by the way science yeah well in a previous life I thought I was good to be a lawyer and and even become a lobbyist spent some time working on Capitol Hill between and after college and I realize overtime that wasn't for me but what I liked about twice I was it it's a field that makes you have to take a lot of information understand it digested no pun intended and and then be able to make arguments from it and it's very much like medicine you got it learn a lot be able to process it be able to assimilate it in bring it back out and order entered into care patients I mean I've from my standpoint's admittedly when you start medicine you work really hard to get them and then you become very selfish as you try to start your practice or try to feed your family good becomes you know this is my this is my dig so I've always watched you from the very beginning always be involved on the political stage always trying spread the message always trying to you been running the ACG practice management thing that I've been part of a couple times the project management group so what what we need is people with a voice that have a stage the to do something like this and then Rachel you got the functional nutrition background so one of the reasons our big offer is that we as a group digestive health Associates realized that our community in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex could use a little assistance could use some knowledge could possibly use some of that it help just in case you're not eating perfect not able to go to whole foods and get the the wild salmon to get your omega-3 used to protect your brain to know all these other things and that's were to get into in the next half hour I don't want to spoil that too much I think it's a really cool thing Eric you want to comment on that no I do think it's a really cool thing there's a lot of challenges that people endure whenever they are going to select supplements and just doing anesthesia both with Dr. Perry Amber Dr. Brown I have personally seen people come through and they'll have a litany of things and then as both of y'all have seen those people leave the clinic whenever y'all done the examination will save habits that they have just isn't going to work for them or I don't know that I can trust the brands if you're spending all this money on so when I saw the two of y'all and the rest of the D had a group begin to work together to say we're going to tackle this issue where we can actually leave the walls of the clinic use some help from a nutritionist just like Rachel and began to find the correct type of supplements that would benefit people and lastly save money it takes the guesswork out of trying to be a good patient and trying to find health something it's really pretty awesome I think one of the cool things is that you're able to follow your patient home we can give some information if somebody follows you an answer which by the way how did you get 260,000 Instagram follows pretty happy what we up to Eric eight or something like that just got number nine Monica Crowley had no idea they were actually growling to be something that made I started it when I got an outstanding tensioning Titanic started posting track and recipes and think that I find to be motivational for myself in a way to hold myself accountable and I really wanted always to help you but I found his passion from the beginning fell over mechanically derailed and banned from each success has nothing to deal about it on fire as I have or about how much money a status value I can bring to others and how many lives that I contact change that's really been important for me having as my foundation I think has allowed me to really grow my following and really create that trust now so I think very much like taking an oath that were going to treat people well you know social media is got to the point where now you're held to a certain obligation. You also have a responsibility to do things correctly people look up and down a lot of information even on social media for example there was the cochair recently in the Dallas-Fort Worth area has led getting out different diet plans and putting herself as a coach and scamming people out of money set itself up to the consumer to do their research and are looking for coaches online and looking to people for advice on sale social media have a huge influence in people do not have to honor that I think you and I were talking about the Netflix special fire were I believe that they are trying to prosecute some of the influencers you write there later using their using their influence for four not good and I think the D had obviously is taking the can the complete opposite approaches they want to guide people that are already turning to them for advice and visa returning patient so obviously you want to be satisfied so I think that your online reputation speaks for itself you have an incredible social media presence on online reputation patients are saying go see Dr. your per it's the same thing you're getting as physicians you are being spoken about in patients trust you and there to tell their mother's sister friend husband wife to go see you and you and obligation to do that also to know sometimes get tough cases well and it's this notes the community right so you is you and Rachel both touched on it's this idea that were being held accountable there's a lot of ways in which were held accountable but I think is that we started to realize you are pioneering the scan but this idea that our patients are starting to look online and an understanding that the doctors that they're seeing the professionals at their seen counselors there seem this is not well understood or well fleshed out sick seven years ago but clearly over the last five years as its gain momentum when we realize this is how our patients are finding us now and it's it's in a word of it's the 21st century word-of-mouth if you will and and and you know I think unfortunately there still a lot of fraud out there but what what hopefully social media online reputation patients being proactive in reviewing doctors and in other providers is the idea that they're going to help people find the right provider for them that's going to help get them where they need to get total in I think that you probably if you put yourself out there so what I do admire about you Rachel is that number one to get up on stage with a little close which is able to do I would have to if I did some sort of stage competition it would be like jumpsuit things are this is why got a bikini And starting again it's a bit better for everybody well you know what I mean I was following you for a long time on Instagram in your bikini competition I been the last follower I have another as long as I could and I appreciate I'm looking right now where is there were some convocations they asked that it was taken down to I think that's one of the requirements of bikini modeling is landscaping and I will leave it at that have nothing to add to that no but I think that's so one of the things that Jay and I have to deal with which sometimes is a very good thing is the negative review and I sometimes it's valid sometimes not very often it'll tell me that if they warned me of something tried to call couldn't get through it's things were always working on in the business aspect that's one person there's probably 20 people and we really do acknowledge that and the person helps me out with that to-Keith Kaiser who a look at these and says okay you're seeing a trend here we need to sit down with the office manager and possibly talk that may be XYZ is broken so we I use these reviews as a way to grow as well not just say okay yeah this is kind of doing well do you ever get any negative things on your Instagram with 259,000 people out there to over 250,000 people and you're gonna get people always have something to say and think it's taking anything else on and course I like to listing any type of feedback that I can take in and prove myself and they also just cannot stay out of that negativity and just focusing on the people who I can actually benefit any and most important to me okay so one of the things review of weird people with income embouchure but my kids don't have phones and I'm 14-year-old a 12-year-old and the reason is because I discovered a YouTube video early on which discussed how there the equivalent of getting lights is a little dopamine release very similar to other things that you can become addicted to and ultimately when you are depleted in dopamine dear Sir or basically when you release dopamine your serotonin goes down so your happiness is serotonin your pleasures dopamine and the phones really can do that because it consumes you and so I let my children decide right now they have chosen to say you know what were just going to cut up avoided that right now which I'm happy about it's I don't know how much longer I can do they all can I hate to cut you off only got about one minute left before have to take our four minute break and I do want to let everyone know that Rachel Scheer and Dr. J Perry will be joining us and then for the next hour but before anybody has to they have to check out and they want to learn more kindling hold that that

works and how we like how we how we think people should use it really get the best benefit from perfect and Rachel Scheer make make no bones about it she's got what an incredible following so Rachel what is your favorite way for people to connect with you as well I can connect with me like it's pretty simple lights at Rachel RA HDL and my last name Scheer each EEI canopy where the majority of my social network is to be found my website which is again just 9% nice Rachel Scheer.com Rachel Sherry.com well let's not KISS alright so let's not lose our momentum on what were talking about because when I get here before I had the microphone working again is that we talk a lot about synergy collaboration and it always comes with the right person in mind which is to benefit the patient before you joined us earlier J I can remember that you always know your colleagues that our patient centric or patient advocates and I think that's a key reason on why you were chosen to be the CML why you've never turned away from research and why your patients I've seen firsthand don't just want to be trusting their health decisions with you they like coming to see so knowing they were putting the patient first what it rejected take what did it what it is they were doing is a collaborative to put something together like the hatbox okay so we try to get into a little bit and lost all but the reality is were doing something which is actually incredible very innovative were to be the first large single specialty group to put together health in a box we want to put health in your hands and nothing of your slogan here so the hat is arranging a program where we can put the holes were many Americans lack because of nutrition we can help them out Rachel and I were just talking about this Rachel like for instance when you see somebody what are some of the common supplements that you like to have your clients on that I think there are four essential supplement everyone should be on the first to be a high-quality monk like to say that we can get all of the nutritional needs from the food that were eating back just Arabian American band standardized and fast is not really reality standing on a high quality multivitamin to prevent any type of nutritional deficiencies on this icon would be a good probiotic game going back to got to be the foundation for how promoting a good healthy got my car bran on the third one would be a vitamin D some most the population is deficient in vitamin D and vitamin D became to get fromsale especially here in Texas and because it's hotter now that I'm very much and just in general and a lot of micronutrients testing in the majority of my clients come back with a deficiency in vitamin D then the fourth amendment be in omega-3 fish oil saddle again going back to standard American diet we get a lot more on Bacchus Texas which are pro-inflammatory and instantly need to counter act by adding in more on the three check enemy anti-inflammatory said that for that I think everyone ought to be and it's going to be a good multivitamin probiotic vitamin D and omega-3 fish oil so hearing that list Dr. Brown or Dr. Perry what were some of the pitfalls that the patient to come into both of your practices what what is it that someone comes in with a Rachel hit the nail on the head will get to it in moment but whenever she said hi quality probiotic there is tons of bacteria sources out there that some you may say is beneficial you say that you said it what you think when someone is watching some random probiotic and any notes expensive it's a great questionnaire and the issue is so can I see this every day in the office is some will come in and and it's this it's a typical scene they'll be sitting there and then on the exam table to put out the bottles of snuff caretaking and one by one the go when you think about this what you think about this what you think about this and most the time and and can may have the same shirts I have to say I don't know because these things have not been vetted wheat we don't know and I don't know enough about them to recommend one or another and I will generally say that you know in general I think this is probably safe to use I don't know of any downside but I can't 100% recommend or give a stamp of approval to something because it's not something I've vetted that I know enough about that did to him to be able to give it that enthusiastic or at least thumbs up and that's tough because again you know skin spoke to in the first half we try to establish his rapport with our patients and establish trust in and get that sense if you be a resource for them we can be experts on everything which again is why folks like Rachel are so integral and essential to this process but at the end of the day it's nice to be able to have a way to have a structured way to have a a a supplements and other and other things we can recommend to our folks and that's where I think the box comes so yeah I think that's you know there's a study that came outward look at DNA analysis and that showed almost 79% of the of what is in the bottles not on the label 79% of the products that are on big box shelf so we know that there is a lot of possibly maybe not complete a quality it's being sold out there because it's kind of unregulated and then in your industry when we look at weight loss product sexual enhancement products and I can't know what the other one is almost 40% of those categories had dangerous pharmaceuticals and so in your industry so and I had some patients that are showing up with the liver failure and when you start looking and what what what's going on here is to look at the list you like what what is that ends up being a pro hormone the problem is metabolism the liver and it's creating anyways so it's not only you may be wasting your money but there is a slight possibility that you could actually be harming your body so that's why we came together as a group to say look working to try and that these were you trying find things in a certificate of analysis third-party testing let's see what's there there is some science with that I'm trying to get our group Dr. Harry Sorrel to do this almost every show I call him out because I want to do functional research I want DRI which is digestive research Institute our research division of D hat to look at some of these things would you know really I think it's we can help people out so when somebody holds us out they could say because is no money in doing the research it's not that people don't want it it's just who to pay for that's
Until recently, the words ‘indoor cycling’ evoked images of solitude, stoicism or even bad weather. Following the explosion of indoor cycling fitness classes -or studio cycling- in the late 1990s the cycling world has since been revolutionised by smart turbo trainers, interactive indoor cycling training apps and even e-cycling races. Indoor cycling, especially studio cycling, has never been so popular. But the problem has been tradition. Cycling, more so than almost any other sport, is steeped in decades of tradition, folklore and sub-culture - men with shaved legs, time trial events starting at 5 o clock in the morning, and a flagship event – the Tour de France – which still has no equivalent event for female riders. At the same time, across the globe, there are studio cycling classes taking place at every minute of any 24 hour period. With packed out classes of mostly female participants, studio cycling boasts a female demographic in participation that is yet been achieved in the more traditional sense of cycling. So, the obvious question to ask, is how do you connect the followers of studio cycling with road cycling? In this episode of the podcast, I spoke to Michelle Ross, a life long fitness devotee, RPM studio cycling instructor, and now RoadStarz rider. Becoming a road cyclist has had a life changing effect on Michelle but I started by asking how she became hooked on fitness in the first place. So, eventually, Michelle’s RPM class was attracting interest from another category of participant. Until this point, road cyclists eschewed the comfort of studio cycling. But in a break with tradition, it became commonplace to see competitive road cyclists checking in to Michelle’s sessions… After the break, Michelle discovers how her new level of fitness has given her a passion for climbing hills. And do you remember the group of road cyclists that Michelle first trained with? Well, what was supposed to be a farewell to long loved holiday destination near to her parent’s villa in Spain, turned into a life changing moment with one of those riders…. When we left off, Michelle was discovering a new level of fitness and a new level of cycling performance. I asked if any of her regular training partners had noticed her newly developed strength and confidence on the bike. One of the elements of cycling that appeals to many people is the spirit of adventure and freedom. The French even have a term for this type of personality characteristic, a flaneur, someone who freely wonders into adventure, observing society, free to make discoveries. And in Michelle’s case her passion for fitness and then cycling was just the beginning of a new chapter in her life… Just 14 months in and Michelle has transformed from being a very fit studio cycling instructor to a super fit road cyclist. So far, she has taken part in individual and team time trials, ridden ridiculously long distances at a pace that was previously unimaginable, and along with her fiancé and a group of equally committed road riders, Michelle is about to embark her very first cycling training camp.
