Using a Functional Medicine Approach to Testing we discover the hidden dangers of mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals, and learn how these toxins can contribute to serious health issues such as cancer, hormonal imbalances, and neurological disorders. Dr. Jason Barker shares his expert insights on identifying and mitigating these toxic burdens to enhance overall wellness. Prolonged exposure to environmental toxins can have much more severe, lasting effects on health. Over time, the accumulation of toxins can lead to health concerns. ✅ Cancer: Many environmental toxins, such as carcinogens, trigger mutations at the cellular level, increasing the risk of developing various types of cancer. ✅ Hormonal imbalances: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals can mess with hormone production and regulation, leading to issues like infertility, thyroid dysfunction, and metabolic imbalances. ✅ Autoimmune diseases: Accumulated toxins can overwhelm the immune system, leading it to malfunction and attack the body's own tissues – contributing to autoimmune conditions. ✅ Neurological damage: Long-term exposure to neurotoxic chemicals can result in cognitive decline, memory loss, and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. The Vibrant Total Tox Burden Test evaluates three main categories of toxins: ✅ Mycotoxins: Mold toxicity is much much more common than you might think – with hidden mold spores lurking in many homes and workplaces. This test measures 29 different mycotoxins –  providing a thorough assessment of any mold-related toxins that may be hiding out in your body. ✅ Heavy Metals: Heavy metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic (to name just a few) are notorious for accumulating over time and contributing to a whole range of health issues. The test measures 20 different heavy metals, helping to identify any buildup of these toxic substances. ✅ Environmental Chemicals: These are synthetic or man-made chemicals, such as pesticides and forever chemicals, that are rampant in everyday products, in the food and water we consume, and even in the air we breathe. The test assesses 38 different environmental chemicals that may be impacting your health, providing a broad view of your exposure to modern-day toxins.

The intimate relationship between the biochemical, physical and emotional body are key to finding a healthy balance and utmost well being, especially when life is often busy and chaotic.I grew up being told I would become a healer by my relatives and it turns out they were right! I myself have suffered the depths of chronic illness and have found my way back to health, so I understand the constant and frustrating struggle people face on a daily basis.From my personal journey, I've learned to have a realistic view on progress rather than expecting perfection; to pay attention to the details but constantly be reminded of the bigger picture. Optimal health depends on the willingness of the patient and the quality of their team. I aim to inspire, coach and inform patients along their journey to wellness. I am truly lucky to be in a position where my work is something I look forward to each day. It is a blessing to coach people and work together towards their health goals.I've studied with energetic healers, MDs, NDs, Doulas, Midwives, Physiotherapists; and believe just as much in the power of the mind and the subtleties surrounding us that affect our wellbeing on a profound level.https://integrative.ca/practitioners/naturopathic-doctors/dr-jordan-duttonhttps://www.instagram.com/drjordanduttonnd/Thank you so much for listening!

Dr. Robyn Wright   I've been immersed in healthcare for as long as I can remember. After earning my undergraduate degree at La Salle University, I managed a series of weight loss centers and even started my own health coaching business before entering medical school. In 2018, I earned my medical degree from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and upon graduation, I completed a year-long residency in primary care. With over two decades of professional experience, my journey has taken me through various roles, from front desk reception to back office administration, and even a pharmaceutical rep. Yet, it was during my time in weight loss centers that something truly clicked. Witnessing individuals try various approaches, often with little or no success, was an eye-opening experience (some even went great lengths for weight loss surgery, and still gained their weight back). As a naturopathic doctor, I found that by addressing underlying health concerns, following healthy eating principles, and making lifestyle adjustments, my patients were truly able to transform their health! Seeing my patients revel in their results with pride and joy is what motivates me to strive for excellence as your naturopathic physician. My goal is to equip YOU with the knowledge to take control of your health, address the root causes of your concerns, and guide you towards achieving sustainable, transformative results.   Thank you for following Everyday Leaders.

Dr. Nirala Jacobi interviews Dr. Mark Davis about helminth therapy and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in the treatment of various conditions. Helminth therapy involves using tiny worm-like organisms called helminths as medicine for humans. Dr. Davis explains that there are four helminths that have been found to be safe and beneficial for humans. These helminths can be used to treat conditions such as multiple sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and autism spectrum disorder. FMT, on the other hand, involves transplanting fecal microbiota from a healthy donor into the gut of a patient. FMT has been found to be effective in treating conditions such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff) colitis and hepatic encephalopathy. Dr. Davis also discusses his new ventures in Panama, where he plans to offer helminth therapy and FMT in a hospital setting. He also mentions his work on vaginal microbiota transplantation for women's health conditions. Dr Mark Davis, ND is a 2011 graduate of NUNM, and a fellow of the American College of Naturopathic Gastroenterology. He's on the board of directors of the Gastroenterology Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and the editorial board of the Natural Medicine Journal. Dr. Davis teaches the naturopathic gastroenterology course at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, and he has focused on patients with IBD since 2016.

Jayne Amelia speaks with child advocate and mentor Ron Jenkins. Ron is a former foster youth who along with his siblings was placed in foster care after his mother died of cancer when he was two years old. He bounced around in foster care for several years until he  was adopted by a friend of his mom, but that didn't turn out well for any of the kids in that home. His foster mother was a cruel and abusive drug dealer, and Ron was sexually abused but two women before he was in his teens. At the age of 13, Ron was thinking of taking his own life.  A stranger's good will and mentorship allowed Ron to see a way out. He was a talented athlete and focussing on football helped him heal too,  and he ended up playing football at Fresno State and studied to be a social worker, and then worked with youth in the juvenile justice system for the next 30 years.  By age 23, Ron had lost four brothers to violent deaths related to drugs, but still has sister who he calls "his world."  After two failed marriages, Ron got into therapy and worked through his childhood trauma and says he is now a better man because of that. He's now a football coach at Southwest College, and continues to be a youth advocate and volunteers helping kids get through trauma just like he suffered.If you or someone you know is harming themselves, or thinking about harming themselves,  go to: crisistextline.org. or call 988 for the suicide and crisis hotline.A great article about Ron is in his college newspaper is here.WAKE UP the film coming soon.And the Carissa Phelps and Ron Jenkins story in film is here.See bonusbabies.org to learn more about what we are doing and please donate to support us by making a 100% tax-deductible contribution.

I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

Ah, all right, love. So I'm in full disclosure. We are in Mexico. This has been pre recorded. (Oh, yeah). If you are seeing socials from me, it's because the IGs have now allowed you an iPhone to pre schedule your posts. So they were pre scheduled before social (Brad: because we are on vacay). Vacation! Happy 40th to me, happy 40th to Brad, we are taking, I don't know, how many days we're here? Like five days to be in Mexico. And like turn the phones, I am hoping that my phone is just off. Maybe I'll just leave it in a safe at the hotel room. (Brad: That would be amazing). Because also you take all the pictures anyway. So let's just be real.That implies I'm not turning mine off. But fair, fair.Oh, you know what? Let's see who can turn those off the longest because I already live on Do Not Disturb. So it's it's not hard for me to like just not have a phone because it doesn't do anything for me.Brad Crowell  I think that would be really challenging (you guys) that's a challenge!Lesley Logan  In like several episodes, we will give you the real deal, disclosure on it. If Brad did it or not? BecauseBrad Crowell  I didn't do it. Yeah.Lesley Logan  All right. So anyways, we are, we are in Mexico celebrating our 40th. And, and also, if you're listening to this in real time, it is March Matness. And I know you're thinking Lesley, you said a T. Not the DBrad Crowell  she's like weirdly saying that word.Lesley Logan  And let me just tell you. March Madness also happens like pretty fucking late in March and goes into April, which makes no sense to me. But I am going to be doing some bets because I have this new hobby of sports betting. Welcome to Vegas. But at any rate, I did say madness on purpose, because it is all about doing the Pilates Mat work. And you all are like, ah, the mat is so hard, it is (pretty hard). It's gonna it's gonna make you do it all on your own. And so because of March Matness, we put the mat flashcards on sale, we sure did. We shared it. So go to opc.me/flashcards Hey, check out that URL have sort short it isBrad Crowell  that's how we do, we're getting better.Lesley Logan  opc.me/flashcardsBrad Crowell  Yeah, that's how we do and then later this month, we are really excited. We're starting this new endeavor on the OPC site, where we're hosting workshops, and we're getting everybody involved, meaning your opinion is is needed in order to know what kind of workshops we should be hosting. But a couple times a year, like three, four times a year, we're going to be doing workshops periodically. And we'll bring in different guests and Lesley will host them herself and all things. So if you would like to be on the list for that just go to opc.me/workshops and you will be added to the waitlist. But at the end of this month in March, we're going to be hosting one. So stay tuned!Lesley Logan  We are going to be hosting one, you'll want to be on that waitlist to hear what it is. But also it'll be it'll involve me and the other OPC teachers, which is going to be so much fun. And I have a couple of workshops that I'm thinking of doing. So if you're wanting to be part of that planning meeting, you just want your opinion to be heard. Then opc.me/workshopsGotta be part of the planning.Yeah, that's that's that's how you can plan. All right. Before we get into Dr. Kelly Bender again. I fucking love her. (Yeah, she's awesome). I'm obsessed. It makes me want to have like a doctor hour, which is a little hard because they're not only allowed to say kind of so much stuff without like getting in trouble with being a doctor. However, we do have an audience question and what is that?Brad Crowell  So we had a question about Pilates equipment. And it was: does my Pilates Mat need to have a strap? You know if you if you if you know I'm a yoga guy, my my mat? Why would my mat have a strap except to carry it? Pilates mats are very different.Lesley Logan  That's so true.Brad Crowell  Yeah, what the hell, I was like a strap that doesn't make sense. But so Pilates mats are stiff and they like you know, you could have an actual strap like stapled to the very end of it that you can flip your feet underneath of it. (Yeah, yeah). Slip it up over your ankles.Lesley Logan  Let me think of like how many yoga straps I purchased and then never used because they're so annoying. They make...Brad Crowell  They're never quite long enough.Lesley Logan  Well, they're either the Velcro that goes and then you're correct.Brad Crowell  Hows that go?Lesley Logan  There are they're like they're kind of under your armpit but they're not but they areBrad Crowell   Yeah, they're never quite long.Lesley Logan  They're just I don't know I don't know who was the the fit model for that but wrong person.Brad Crowell  Yeah, fail blog.Lesley Logan  Yeah, so oh my god that was so old. You haven't said that in years. You used to say, y'all he'd say fail blog when we started dating and I was like, does that bother me?Brad Crowell  Are you kidding me? First time hearing this folks, this is news to BradLesley Logan  it's also, not it's just it was part of that whole back I mean we've been together for so long, like almost this fall is 10 years so like, wow, well that we met we met 10 years. Yeah, that's true. But back then you all, you would say hashtag whatever, hashtag this and so failed blog just made me think of like saying hashtag goals like just in general you would just like say hashtag (Brad: hashtag class)anyway (oh my god) dag me with a spoon.Okay, that is okay, you can say that. So anyways, um, so this is a great question, I get this, I actually get this often. And I wanted to talk about it because one of my elevate members was struggling with her roll up. And she was like, I don't like this. I like this. I like this. And I was like, well, she doesn't have a strap. So like if she didn't like any of those things. But then she got a strap, and it changed everything. And so here's the deal, a travel Pilates mat that rolls up like as foam, it's like squishy squish. That having a strap on it is going to do nothing for you, except for help you carry it so. But if you are on a firm mat, so like I have an affiliate link for ControlLogix. Everything I actually have an affiliate link for everything the bounce buddy makes. So hit us up if you want it. But a Pilates mat that is actually pretty firm has a strap on it or your Cadillac can have a strap off the edge. You you do want a strap, I'm just gonna say it. If you can't afford that right now, don't have the space for that right now then please know that you want to have a magic circle. Because you need something to help you activate your seat. Activate your Thass to help you do a roll up. All right, it's just what you need. Now, can you do a roll up without a strap and automatic circle and not move around? Yes. Hi, I can do that. I've been doing this for 20 years. So, So can I help you do it? Absolutely. Do I want to do that was one of the OPC workshops, yes is on that list.Brad Crowell  There you go get on that list. opc.me/workshops. Lesley Logan  But does your mat need to strap. It's, I don't want if you are not doing Pilates because you don't have a mat with a strap. I don't want that to be a rule for you. But if you can see...Brad Crowell  Yeah, it's not gonna stop you from doing it. But it'll be, it can benefit your practice.Lesley Logan   There's two exercises you're gonna use a strap for, there's two. So it is only two exercises. However, it is the difference between being able to access like 17 other exercises. So the better your roll up is with a strap, the more you're gonna love open like rocker, the more you're gonna love teaser, the more you're gonna love control balance often, like there's just a lot of things that have in a strap helps teach you how these connections. So what I would say is if you can set aside some bucks every week, so that you can save up for a mat. Use our affiliate link get a little discount a little moment. And, and then watch your mind get blown with what happens with a strap.Brad Crowell  Yeah, I think someone just texted us a a fun savings idea of saving one (for my brain) $1 on week one, $2 and week two, $3 and week three, etc, etc, etc. And by the end of the year, week 52 You're saving $52. And I because I'm a math junkiem nerd loser guy, I went on my Google Sheets and I added them all up. It ends up being like more than 1300 bucks that you're saving over the year.Lesley Logan  Just so you know, you could buy two mats with that with a strap. Yeah, my affiliate link you could.So that doesn't include tax and shipping. But you guys, what I would just say is if Pilates is something that you want to be part of your life, buying an expensive mat, it may sound weird, but it's the same as like buying a weight bench.Brad Crowell  Right? Yeah. Or like a set of weights. You know, that could be a couple 100 bucks.Lesley Logan  Oh my god, Brad, do you know how expensive weights are. I know you just bought those like little little chips, the little chips traverse and you got it somehow somebody definitely missed a zero in those. However...Brad Crowell  I know I looked at the five pounds that were 35 bucks for two set of fibers.Lesley Logan  Yes, I was looking for these like these weight things where you could adjust the weight without having to like be dramatic about it. They went from $300 to $700 during the pandemic and I was like someone is ripping me off. So it's all it's all relative, you guys. It's what you value and if you want Pilates as part of your life forever, which I hope you do, then get them out with the strap. Hit the link below. Alright, that's what I got to say about that.Brad Crowell  Love that, all right well...Okay, maybe now let's talk about Dr. Kelly bender.Lesley Logan  I feel like you're about to announce and now... Brad Crowell  In the left corner (we have) as an expert in natural science Kelly benders passionate about helping individuals achieve optimal health and finding Healing Within. She's happy to call Los Angeles her home where she you can find her teaching others and working at her clinic, Pure Vitality Rejuvenation Center, which she has been expanding. And she's had all sorts of amazing opportunities now. Really cool.Lesley Logan  It's so cool. Yeah, I've known her for so long. I've known her for years. And we did Cambodia with her. Brad Crowell  Yeah, she came to Cambodia with us. Yes. Yeah. So she's a friend. Lesley Logan  Yeah. Oh, we're besties. She's even on my like little top. You know, the quick link on the texting.Brad Crowell  Oh, yeah, the pins. She's, that's what it's called (There you go). Well, I really enjoyed that episode. In fact, I listened to it twice. I thought it was you know, I listened to it the first time through. And like, it's just so full of detail that it just like kind of went over like past me it just like, wow, you know, and I thought... (I had to listen to it twice) So I went back, I slowed it down and actually, like, listened to each of these things. And what I loved was the idea that we might not even know that we are under stress. We might be saying, Oh, no, I don't have any stress. I'm good. You know, I'm totally good. But we also, which I don't know, I'm not I'm not actually talking about me. I'm speaking for a friend. Right now.Lesley Logan  Also, I'm just thinking about the meme that we did not send to your cousins when they said, I'm having a second... They're having a second child and you're like, Jason, this was from shits Creek, and she's like, I'm fine. I'm fine.I'm good. I'm so good. And her hair is like exploding. She's stressed it up.Brad Crowell  Because we are so often disassociated from our own bodies. Meaning we don't know what we're feeling. We don't like understand when like, we're being impacted by stress, we might not even realizing that we are experiencing signs of stress. Okay, so I compiled a list and went back through and I literally wrote down everything that she just ticked off because it went past like, super fast. Here are some signs that you may be under stress. Skin issues could include rashes. GI issues could include chronic diarrhea, could be constipation. You could actually have...Lesley Logan  You need to say this like a like a commercial for drugs.Brad Crowell  Yeah, right. Experiencing skin issues, rashes, chronic chronic diarrhea, constipation, GI issues, sleeping cortisol, hormones weight gain, then don't take this if you're allergic to it. Yeah.Lesley Logan  If you're allergic to stress your brain is shrinking hormones waking, irregular menstrual cycles, spotting, headaches. Call call your doctor now to see if stress is good for you.Yeah, exactly. Exactly. So (we don't watch like we watch like one show. And they every commercial does drugs). I know.Brad Crowell  Alright, anyway, GI issues. It could be diarrhea, constipation, you could actually not have hunger. So if you wake up in the morning, and you're like, oh, yeah, you know, I don't, I don't eat in the morning because I'm never hungry. Actually, that could be a sign that you're under stressed.Lesley Logan  When I taught in LA this was like a badge of honor with my ladies are like, Oh, I'm not hungry. I'm not hungry. I'm like, cuz you're stressed case.Brad Crowell  Yeah you're sleeping, if you're not sleeping well, or you're not sleeping consistently, that will put your body under stress, your cortisol levels will actually increase when your body is under stress. And that will actually lead to the brain shrinkage.Lesley Logan  This is crazy. Your brain gets smaller.Brad Crowell  Yeah, so So I feel like I need to go back and re listen to that part because she was talking about cortisol versus not whatever it's supposed to be in. Anyway, if you're under constant amount of stress, you're pumping your your brain with cortisol, and you can eventually get used to it. You should not be like flooding your brain with cortisol, it actually you know, is it's not good for you.Lesley Logan  Everything in moderation, including moderation. Like your like your a little bit of cortisol can be really good for you. It's like the way to like get you to like run away from a fucking leopard.Brad Crowell  Well, that's what I mean. But if you you can't be continuously under that, that space or it won't be doing its function that it's supposed to be (correct). Yeah. But wait there's more, hormones could be effective. You know, with by stress, weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, spotting, headaches, muscle tightness, particularly your shoulders, or maybe your jaw. This is when I didn't realize that I used to do this a lot. When I rode my motorcycle. I would clench my jaw because I'm like, so focused and it's stressful, lack of hunger. I already mentioned that sleep and then as specifically with sleep changes in your mood.Lesley Logan  Yeah, so y'all how stressed out are you?Brad Crowell  Yeah. And what these all are, are signs that you are experiencing stress, okay? And we often will just say like, oh, no, I'm not stress, I just don't sleep very well.Lesley Logan  Well, also, like, you know, something that people don't realize is that the pandemic was an acute cause of stress for the entire world. And back in 2021, we brought in my somatic therapist to actually check with our agency members about like, are you still living in that stressed out like, survival mode zone?Brad Crowell  Yeah, it was weird because it went way longer. Acute means like, it's short. And yeah, but like, it wasn't it like became this longLesley Logan  Turned it as a chronic thing. And so it's like, it's so good to be able to go into that third gear that survival mode gear, because, hello, you should survive with that. But so many people that we were around, I could tell we're not they're not getting out of that gear. (Brad: Their not down shifting). Yeah, that's thank you for doing that. Brad. I don't actually know what it means. I've never stick.Um, we brought her in, because so many of the people that we were coaching, were not aware of the stress. And I think that if you're listening to this, if any of these things sound like oh, I've been going through that. It's possible that just like a frog in the water, to slowly turning the heat up. That stress was like a little bit and a little bit in a little bit and a little bit, but you didn't realize it because you've just been in so long. And so it's so (Brad: do you realize) that you're under stress Brad Crowell  And you are a frog in a pot of boiling water? Do you realizeLesley Logan  okay, so I'm gonna tell you what I loved.Brad Crowell  Yeah. Moving along.Lesley Logan  If you could be a fly on the wall of this room. So I actually this blew my fucking mind. Okay, it blew, my mind was blown like emoji. She said, what you're feeling and what you're attributing that to may not actually be correlated at all. And I'm actually going to tell a little story that actually goes back to what you loved. So let me just finish this thought. And I'll tell the story. Yeah. So she said, often, we come up with a reason to figure out to read, like, we try to reason why we feel a certain way. And we like take signs around us. Oh, that must be it. And that's Oh, Eureka. I know why I feel this way. It's that person over there. (Right). And so I was taking one of my clients, and she told me she's like, that she got a massage at my favorite place to validate massage. And she's like, Yeah, I'm going back for a facial because I gotta talk to them. But there's something wrong with their, their sheets, because I got I broke out on the left side of my face. And I said, you don't think that has anything to deal with, like, you're not living in your own home, you're in a rental that someone just told me broke into, you have been like, had to like, raise your rates in your business, shift everything. You don't think that this left side of your face breakout has anything to do with just like stress. So she...Brad Crowell  flash, flash touching,Lesley Logan  touch, and then she kept touching your face. She kept touching it as a second to your face. Because you're gonna make it worse. she asked me later, she's like, found the culprit. It's the sheets in the rental house that I'm in and I'm like, yeah. Anyways, physically, so but I also like, it's also the stress of what your living situation is right now, guys. So the point being, she decided to reason that this breakdown in her face must have to do with the sheets of a massage, would it? And then she's like, No, it's a sheet of where I'm sleeping. It's like, actually, it's the life that you're currently in, in this exact moment. But we tried to like come up with an answer, because that's what human beings want to do. We want to have an answer. And so what she was saying, and this is so important, is like, I think I had I think I learned this the hard way. I would have stomach issues after like, Oh, can't eat that thing.Brad Crowell  Oh, sure. I mean, I was gonna talk about this.Lesley Logan  And then we did a bunch of research and it's like, well, actually, that stuff can live in the body for 21 days. So it might not have been from what you did at that momentBrad Crowell  It could have have been from literally three weeks. So what the hellLesley Logan  And then once I found that I was like, are you fucking kidding me? (Yeah). What in the world? So the point being is that she's like, when stuff is coming up, try not to attach it to any other thing around you. And like, because it might not have that thing you might actually be, you might literally change jobs. Brad Crowell  she was, she was talking about, like, the example she used was like going into work, when you go into work, you may feel stressed. And then you're like, this job is causing me stress, when in fact, it may have nothing to do with the job, it may have to do with the timing of something else. And your body is now deciding to do you know, to notify you. But then we associate it with stress. And then she said, what the crazy part is, is is a learned behavior. So you might say, my job stresses me out, but it wasn't your job that stressed you out. Then, a week later, when you're no longer stressed, you now have learned that your job stresses you out. So every time you show up at your job, you're stressing yourself out even though there's the actual thing that caused that stress is gone. Lesley Logan  It's insane. We can, our minds are so powerful.Brad Crowell  I mean, it's, it's like Pavlov's dogs with the you know, where the dog smells would water when they heard the sound. Yeah, and then they're like, food must be coming. We can we can do that to ourselves. It's kind of amazing.Lesley Logan  I mean, it's pretty crazy. Well, but that goes back to like the guy like you can use this for good y'all like there was that guy who he was a prisoner of war. And he pictured himself playing golf at his local golf course every day. And he pictured himself golfing every single hole and, and hitting a par. And after four years of being a prisoner of war, which y'all just like think about what four years of that would do you like deconditioned all these things he gets home and his friends like what are you gonna do? He's like on play a round of golf. And they're like, really? Do you have this thing for that? And he did a par because his mind was so conditioned that I should have par at this course he did it after for four plus years about golfing. The author of The Sun Does Shine, I'm so sorry. I don't remember his name. But he was a prisoner in on death row for decades. He like he got through that because of his mind. In his mind, he would like he was married (Anthony Ray Hinton) Yes. Oh my God, he's so powerful. He is so inspiring. But he like he sat there and like picture a movie in his life where he's married to Halle Berry. And then there was a moment where he like, was married to Sandra Bullock because the speed anyways, it's just like, you can do amazing positive things with your mind. Or you can do negative things with your mind and what Kelly was saying Dr. Bender was saying is like, try not to make reason around the things that are not feeling good. Because that you may be causing yourself more stress than you actually ever need to have. Like, wouldn't it be okay if we were just okay not knowing why that was happening? Thar's gonna stress the perfectionist out. Brad Crowell  All right. So finally, let's talk about those Be It action items. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items can we take away from your combo with Dr. Kelly bender?Lesley Logan  Well, she had one and it was move your body. Well, she actually said SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE your body. Shake it all the time. Do do doBrad Crowell  Senora. Lesley Logan  Yeah. Sorry, guys. We went to the Mayfair. And as our new ritual is over at the Mayfair and they do with the conga line. Yeah, we get up and we dance around the whole restaurant. And it's to that song anyways. But she really did say like, you need to shake your body because shaking your body gets you back into your body. It's a great way to release stress. And every time I see our dogs, like everyone smile, like they just like, shake that like, you know, like,Brad Crowell  oh, yeah, just making sureLesley Logan  If you're on YouTube watching YouTube, then you saw dododo,they do like, Have you ever watched them?Brad Crowell  They just flap thei ears, they shake, you know, they like to stimulate basically.Lesley Logan  You can see the energy go from the head to their tail. Like they just like, let it go. And we're like, let me keep it in. And I'm just gonna hold it in here. And I'm gonna keep it here. And I'm not going to share with anybody.Brad Crowell  Right? Yeah, I mean, definitely. It basically it's like a it's like a quick reset. And she was talking about how she leaves herself a few minutes between each client to dance and move and you know, actually, you know, push her the reset button for herself too. And that's something that's easy and free that we can take advantage of in our lives. Basically that, the, this is so funny because you know, not funny, but this is very connected to what Lesley does, Pilates, because movement releases stress. Yeah.Lesley Logan  And also you guys, when you do breath work, that's a great another place to also shake it out. Just like she was just showing you like just shake. Just yeah, like just take your hands. I'm doing it in front the camera. Yeah. So how are you gonna use that tip in your life?Brad Crowell  Where are you going to shake?Lesley Logan  Where are you going to shake, shake, shake Senora shake it all the time. Anyways, I'm and this is just such a fun. I really wanted to have this for a long time because I just I know, I know ladies listening and a few good men like stress is real. And it's okay to have it from time to time. I hope what you got from this episode is you don't need to actually figure out the reasoning behind it. You can just go I'm stressed out right now. And you could shake it out. And then you can take some actions to do some things that will actually feel good. So what are those things that make you feel good? That's my, my I'm adding to the Be It Action Item. What makes you feel good? I love it. (Yeah). All right.

Okay, this is so fun. So what is actually really cool about this episode is I actually just got to see my guest in real life at the time of this recording, at the time this is coming out. It, I have no idea when that was. But what I'm so excited about is that Dr. Bender is one of the most amazing, smartest women that I ever know. And I love to chat with her about things I've heard on a podcast or a study I've read or whatever about medical science, all these things, and then she explains it because y'all there are so many things that can affect as being it till we see it. Like there just is and I know every once in a while I pop in a medical thing either to advocate for yourself or just information and that this is one of those episodes. So this episode, we are going to talk about stress. And we could have probably talked for hours, hours and hours about stress, signs and symptoms of stress, what stress is. We really did dive in, in a way that I think you can ac... you will actually use this right now in your daily life today. But I am telling you, I'm so fascinated about what came out towards the end about what can cause stress, and it is insane. And, and also like holy crap, we might be causing ourselves more stress, just trying to reason with ourselves. So what I hope you get out of this is that one, I want you to be it till you see it in all the ways in life that you can be. And that could actually like the if you're a perfectionist and overachiever that can actually cause some stress. But if you be it till you see it as a person who is achieving what you want, having the life you live with ease, ease in your life, that's this is the be it till I see it that I'm trying to do is have those things with ease. What a great, what a great way to practice being it till you see it is a no way of dealing with your stress in your body and in your life. And so you might be like, "Ah Les, my life is good. I got things going on but not stressed out." Please still listen, because a) there's some things you can share with people, right? I've got a few coaching calls this month, where we're really talking about ways that people can handle the stress that they're going through, because there's no way to avoid what they are going through. So how do we handle it. And also, you might not actually re... it might be recognizing that the signs and symptoms that you're feeling are because of stress, because you may have been going through them for so long. So I cannot wait to hear your takeaways about this. I'm really, really excited to have this guest back. If you have not heard her original episode, we talked a lot about hormones go back to that. Then when we ended, we had another topic that I'll have to bring her on with, that I'm really excited about so my team will remind me we'll bring her on because well she has a wealth of knowledge, she is the most smartest fucking woman I know. And there are several things in our bodies, in our lives and what makes us up as a human being that can affect us doing the things that we want to do in this lifetime that are that we are not aware of and if we are aware of them, we can take actions to allow and make accommodations for that. So my loves, here is Dr. Bender.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guests will bring Bold, Executable, Intrinsic and Targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.All right, Be It babe. I'm so excited because I have one of my besties in life. And we've had her on the podcast before. So you'll reme... you'll recognize her voice if you've been a longtime listener. And almost first time caller, but y'all don't call in so. But I have Dr. Bender here and we, I was chatting with her on her first episode with us. And we didn't even get into stress. We got into all the thing about hormones and was amazing. But one of the things I talked to her a lot about is stress and something I have noticed in coaching a lot of businesses and also just teaching people Pilates in general, is that our goals tend to stress perfectionists out like crazy. So, so then these perf... so if you're a perfectionist, hello, I'm recovering one. And so I see you and I have I totally understand the stress of like your goals and like all the things you want to do in this life. And unfortunately, like some stress is very good. Like it's good for your bones. It's like good for a diamond, making a diamond, but it also can cause us some crazy trauma, stress, all the stuff that's redundant stress and stress. But Dr. Bender, welcome back. I'm so happy to have you here. And I, before we get into like why, you know, stress is bad, can we or can be bad? Can we talk about like who you are and what you actually do in the world? So people who don't know you yet can hear how you're so amazing.Dr. Kelly Bender  Absolutely. Well, thank you for having me back. I'm really, really excited to be here. And I think it's good timing to be talking about stress, and how that affects our body. And you know what our body actually does with the stress. So I am a Naturopathic Medical Doctor, I live in Los Angeles, California, I have a clinic here called Pure Vitality Rejuvenation Center. We're expanding and we're growing, which is exciting. And at our center, we really look at people as a whole, right? We're looking at your hormones and your gut and your mental health and all those things. We're looking at your nutrition and your habits and your diet and you know, all the different pieces and how that comes together to create health or disease, right. And so we do lab testing and things like that. I've over the last several years also gotten into a lot of mental health, with patients do some psychedelic work with patients, we refer out for lots of different options for people. And so stress over the last few years in the pandemic has really become a focus of mine, partially because that's just what everyone is needing right now.Lesley Logan  Right. I mean, like, I think we're all a little bit on an interesting level of stress. And especially when you live in LA, there's just the daily stress of surviving life in a city that drives that should be on strains. But then, like you've layer on a pandemic of uncertainty and all those changes and all that stuff. And something that I admire about you is like I've we've known each other for so many years, and I've watched you grow your business, as you mentioned you're expanding. And, you know, it's not that you don't ever have stress in your life, but you somehow know how to manage it well. And I think that is something we'll have to get into. But can we talk about like what maybe like maybe some people are so stressed out they don't even know what non stressed out is like, can we talk about signs and symptoms that you're stressed out just for the people who might be like, "I'm not stressed." And they're like, act like their families like, "She's so stressed."Dr. Kelly Bender  Yeah. It's so interesting, I had this conversation with a friend of mine who's also a doctor. And so often we've been habituated to feel like this is normal, right. And stress can show up in a lot of different ways for a lot of different people. Sometimes it shows up as skin conditions. So when people are really stressed out, sometimes they can have, you know, like rashes or skin issues. GI symptoms, right are really, really related to stress oftentimes, and so it can range anything from chronic diarrhea, constipation, not being hungry. This is like one of the big things. I have women come in all the time, and they're like, "I wake up, and I'm not hungry, and I don't have to eat till two o'clock." You're not hungry, because your body is in fight or flight, not rest and digest, right? Even when you're sleeping, you're stressed out, we'll talk about cortisol and all those hormone components, but you're not hungry, because your body is stressed out and isn't able to digest and your digestion is not running smoothly. It can have hormone, you know impacts. So anything from weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, you know, spotting things like that? headaches, muscle tightness, right, so like clenching your jaw is a big one that we just don't always think about, because it's so habitual, right, tight shoulders. It's really interesting to me, when patients come in, they really don't even know that they have these symptoms, because they're so dissociated from their body. And this, I would say, is a really difficult symptom to pinpoint yourself. But it's probably one of the bigger, simpler things, right? People are so out of touch with their body, they're literally dissociated from it. So they say, "Oh, I don't feel pain. Oh, I feel fine." And you start digging a little bit more, and they're not registering their discomfort, but it doesn't mean that their body isn't experiencing pain, or abnormalities or things like that. They're just so stressed. They don't ...Lesley Logan  Yeah, it's like, our, our bodies are so good at protecting us that it can protect us from ourselves. Like, it's such a crazy thing to think about. But I some of those symptoms you brought up I find, you know, I think so many people can go, "Oh, I just ate something bad" or "Oh, I'm allergic to that," or "Oh, what I wonder what I ate because it didn't sit well with me." And it's like, okay, how long because when I was with my stomach issues, what I realized is actually, sometimes the things that you're upsetting your stomach are from, like three days ago, so it's so it's actually not you just ate in this moment. So if you're having that reaction, it might actually be because you're stressed.Dr. Kelly Bender  Well, and then, you know, some of the biggest ones are poor sleep, changes in your mood. So, you know, people don't always know I think I think a lot of people know, like, "Oh, I'm not sleeping well, and I'm worried about something." But sometimes I have patients come in and they're like, "I'm I'm not stressed at all. But I'm not sleeping well. And I'm fatigued. And I have to rely on coffee to get up in the morning." And you know, all those all those things?Lesley Logan  Yeah. Yeah. And I I also wonder, like we think I think we are also thinking like stress is something that is easy to pinpoint. We know why we're stressed out. It's because there's something stressful happening in the moment as opposed to like, chronic, like, just living in an uncertain world for two years with your kids at home and having to change, you know, your entire lifestyle, and then change it back and then be unsure if you did it right. And you know, all that stuff. So like, all that stuff is just like, it's almost like a little layer. It's like a warming a frog up and up on a pot. You don't even notice that you you're hit stress too much. Can stress can stress, um, is there any kind of stress that's actually okay for us to have? Are we supposed to like try to be zen all the time?Dr. Kelly Bender  Great question. So I think the word stress is really interesting. And I use that sometimes with patients, especially when when I'm talking about hormones or GI function. I'll say like, oh, there are these stressors on the body. And patients immediately when they think of stress, think of like mental emotional stress or anxiety. And while while there's probably some benefit to short bursts of even mental emotional stress, right? If something is stressing you out from a mental emotional standpoint, to me, that's an indicator that that's something that's important to you. And maybe that's a boundary, right. So if you're stressed out about something, maybe that's because somebody's pushing your boundary and really, you should be holding that boundary. Right. Or, you know, there's other benefits to sort of acute stressors. Same thing with the body. So, you know, with exercise, I have a lot of women that come in more pre pandemic than then post but pre pandemic, I would have a lot of women come in, who are having hormone issues, trouble losing weight, fertility issues. And one of the stressors that we talked about, one of the stressors on the body was, they were actually working out too much. They would be doing like intense intense workouts 5 6 7 times a day, right or seven times a week, you know, sometimes doubling up doing like 10 in a week. And they weren't fueling their body enough. So they were also like in a calorie deficit. And those are actually stressors on the body. Fasting is a stressor on the body, hold is a stressor on the body. And those things have benefit when you do them in particular ways for short amounts of time. Right? (Lesley: Right.) So ...Lesley Logan  Like I'm gonna do a two minute cold shower in the morning, (Dr. Kelly Bender: Right.) but I'm not taking, I'm not I'm not sitting in a cold pool for the day.Dr. Kelly Bender  Exactly, exactly. And so human bodies actually do really well, when we have these little stressors, right? When we when we get not even little stressors, but acute short acting stressors, right? Adrenaline comes from our adrenal glands. That's why it's called adrenaline. The other name for adrenaline is epinephrine. Right? So those are the same molecule. You know, you see on movies, somebody has like, like, has died. And they take the EpiPen, and they like jab it into their heart, right? And they give them adrenaline and then like ... adrenaline, right? Adrenaline is this fast acting, short lived molecule in your body, where if somebody cuts you off in traffic, or you see a bear in nature, you have this flood of this hormone that's supposed to help you get very focused, very clear, very present. And get out of that situation. That's adaptive, right? But if you are constantly living in a state of these, these sort of, you know, there's bears all around you and you're living with these bears for 10 years, and the bears are actually your bosses at work, but you have that same response. Then instead of epinephrine or adrenaline being the main driver, cortisol becomes the main driver. And this is, this puts like weight around our middles cortisol, prolonged stress of any kind, whether it's emotional, or physical stressors, actually shrinks our brain. (Lesley: Stop it.) It's crazy. It actually shrinks our brain like the white matter in our brain. They've done imaging like an actually atrophies certain parts of our brain, specifically, the ones that are associated with like memory, emotions, some of our ... (Lesley: This is crazy.) functioning ...Lesley Logan  So it's that like I mean, I don't put you on the spot. But like, is that what's happening? Like, is that a correlation to Alzheimer's and dementia going up? Like as we don't know that yet?Dr. Kelly Bender  We don't, I don't know that we know that specifically, I would say maybe dementia, and certainly some of some of what we experience as older people. And a lot of my patients in their 40s and 50s are exhibiting signs and symptoms that we would associate with like early Alzheimer's and early dementia, but it's not it's just the cortical atrophy. Alzheimer's and dementia are multifactorial, there's probably so now they're calling Alzheimer's, type three diabetes. There's a ... yeah, (Lesley: That's so crazy.) crazy. So there's a really big metabolic component with sugar and sugar utilization in the brain, which probably does stem from in some part, cortisol and stress hormones. Because cortisol changes how your body metabolizes sugar, it stores fat, you're less likely to be able to utilize sugar well. So there there absolutely may be a correlation and they probably don't make each other better.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So this is so this is so interesting, because I do have I remember when I when I lived in LA, and I'm sure it still exists in other cities, not just there, but I, I would see these women who had go to two or three workouts a day, they were in that calorie deficit. And it is not healthy. It's not healthy for I would watch their skin. It was like all these things that they're like, well, now I got to do this because my skin is like this. It's like well, it's not supposed to work out like that. And the other thing is like what we have also learned is that like women's workout should not look like men. So you can't you're not doing two days with the dudes, we have different hormones, we have different things and so we have to be more diligent about listening to our body and also giving it what it needs when it needs it. And we can't do that. So stressed out or disassociated from our own body to know what it needs. (Dr. Kelly Bender: Exactly.) So, okay, what ... Because you're not our doctor for every single person who's listening, what are, so what what are the rules and the rules of where you can, you know, give advice here? What are some things people can do to identify stress and then also like de stress, like, what can they ...Dr. Kelly Bender  Yeah, literally so, you know, the little disclaimer is, I am not your doctor if you're listening, or maybe I am, and if you're my patient, hello. But for the majority of you, I'm not your doctor. So consult your doctor, before you do anything. That's just like a little disclaimer. So stress, I would say we break down, I break down stress into sort of two main categories, which is physical stressors, and then sort of psychological emotional stressors. (Lesley: Okay.) Physical stressors are like we talked about fasting or calorie deficit, exercise, cold, extreme cold, extreme heat, those things, when done in a certain way can be really beneficial. But again, when done in an unhealthy way, not good for the body. So a lot of the research is coming out. Previously, there was very little research on intermittent fasting for women who were still menstruating. All the research was done in either men or postmenopausal women. And so there's a lot of menstruating women who saw the research didn't realize that they weren't part of that study, started doing it. And that's probably not great, a great stressor for hormones and for cortisol and those types of things. Certainly, during certain parts of your cycle, probably not ideal. Like you talked about doing short, short, cold exposures, right. So up to a few minutes, is actually really good for the body, doing hot exposures for short amounts of time, good for the body. Not sleeping is a huge physiologic stressor. So you know, identifying where maybe some of your habits or things are not optimal prioritizing sleep, you know, rest and recovery, if you're if you're exercising, not being careful not to over exercise, you know, not to significantly under eat prioritizing proteins, things like that, sort of fall under that physical physiologic stressor.Lesley Logan  Yeah. I think a lot of people don't realize how they might actually be under eating, or at least under eating in the certain nutrients. Like, even my own father, he was trying to lose some weight and, and he's like, "I'm not eating that much food." And I'm like, "I think that's the problem." (Dr. Kelly Bender: That is the problem.) That you're not eating enough for how active you are. And so your body is holding on to everything, because it's so freaked out. So can we get you some more books, like, let's just spend a week just looking at what you're eating and just seeing what days you're consistently under eating. So we can figure that out?Dr. Kelly Bender  Yep. And the timing of what of when you're eating. So keeping blood sugar regulated, keeping blood sugar stable, makes it so that all of your hormones, like your cortisol, your ghrelin, your leptin, your your glucagon, like all of those things aren't fluctuating and going crazy, because you can be under eating. So here's the thing, you can be under eating calories most days, and then on the weekend, you're like, oh, you know, I eat a normal amount of calories or a little bit more. And, and because overall, you're having more calories than you need at certain times, your body is going to store that. Right. (Lesley: Right.) So so making sure that you are eating enough for what you're trying to do with your body. But visceral fat specifically, is really hormonally driven. So even if you're under eating, but your cortisol is high, you're you're just going to have a really hard time especially getting rid of that visceral fat.Lesley Logan  Yeah. That's the dangerous stuff anyways.Dr. Kelly Bender  That's the dangerous stuff. You're probably going to start breaking down muscle or not being able to gain muscle. So there's all those those pieces. So just being aware, right of, of what do I need. And I know this sounds cliche, but mindfulness, right, just getting back into your body, doing any sort of activities that gets you back in touch with your body. I love dancing, like I just, I that's always been a thing that I love. And it really puts me back in touch with my body and so, so I'll do like dance classes or, or I'll just take 10 minutes in between patients and have a little dance party to bring me back down into my body. That oftentimes, two things one, it's again going to help you if you are slightly disassociated and not in touch with your body. And two, oftentimes those sorts of activities are, are stress relieving in and of themselves, right? (Lesley: Yeah.) So mindfulness meditation, just focusing on your breath is an attempt to get you reconnected to your body.Lesley Logan  Yeah. And what I love about those suggestions are like, mostly free, like you can, (Dr. Kelly Bender: Mostly free.) you can, you can turn on free music probably somewhere and dance to it. And it can be the same song every day, you know, until you need a new one. And you can just sit and intentionally think about your breathing because that's not something we have to intentionally do all the time. That's so so you mentioned like the physical signs of stressors and like some things there. There's also I think, the mental there's another stress, yeah.Dr. Kelly Bender  You know like mental, emotional, psychosocial, whatever you want to call what a lot of people when they think of stress, that's what they're thinking of, right? They're thinking of symptoms of anxiety, racing thoughts being nervous or worried or anxious about things that are happening. And so it's really interesting. Two things I'll say about that. One, very often in humans, we we are storytellers, humans are storytellers. We are meaning makers. We like to know what that thing means in our life. And so oftentimes, people have physical reactions that feel like stress. So one of the big ones is actually histamine. So histamine is like if you have seasonal allergies, you know (Lesley: Yeah.) about histamines. Right. (Lesley: Yeah.) Histamine is a is something that our immune system produces, that can produce rashes, itchy, itchy eyes, runny nose, congestion, like all of the signs of like seasonal allergies. Histamine, when it gets into the brain, makes you feel anxious. racing heart, it can give you stomach issues, all of these things. And so sometimes people just have a histamine reaction, because they've come in contact with something that releases histamine. Unfortunately, chocolate can be a trigger sometimes. There are these high histamine foods. But I'm seeing this a lot post COVID. People's histamine trigger is just, it's just a hair trigger, (Lesley: Wow!) where before things didn't bother them at all. Now they're having anxiety, they're having trouble sleeping, they're getting some rashes, but their body feels, right. (Lesley: Right.) They just they know like, they've drink coffee all day long ...Lesley Logan  Yeah. That's crazy because ... to be like mindful breath work, and you're just doing this thing like, I don't know what's wrong with me. And it's like, actually, there's no it's just the ... the histamine is histamine, your brain, we got to get that out.Dr. Kelly Bender  ... of your brain. And the crazier thing is, most often humans will make up a reason that they're anxious. Right? So they feel ... (Lesley: Oh, we have to ...) they feel anxious in their body, from the histamine from whatever it is they they feel anxious, their heart is racing, right. And they don't attribute it to a high histamine food that they consumed, or the fact that they came in contact with a cat because they don't always necessarily get like, allergies that we think of allergies, but the histamines in the brain, and so they feel anxious. And then they're like, oh, I started feeling anxious when I started, they just happened to be thinking about going to work. This is all subconscious, right. But your brain says, oh, you started feeling this way when you started thinking about this thing. This thing is making you feel that way. And then you start coming up with reasons, oh, I'm anxious because maybe I'm thinking my boss is going to be mean like you actually attribute meaning where there is no meaning.Lesley Logan  So then you just start telling yourself a story. And so now your poor boss has done nothing to cause you stress. You think your boss is calling to do stress, and it's never gonna go away. Because you have histamine.Dr. Kelly Bender  And then here's the here's the here's the even crazier part, if that histamine goes away, but you have had that same thought pattern so many times, you will actually train your brain to become anxious when thinking about that topic.Lesley Logan  Oh, I believe that gets to habit because there's you there's, yes, that's how habits are created. Like we create them based on emotions in the brain, it releases something so now oh, and what's so crazy is people could be like leaving partners or jobs that had nothing to do with. Oh, my God.Dr. Kelly Bender  So we literally then train our brain that this thing or this person or this situation was making us anxious. And then let's say you stop eating that food or you get out of that environment. You're no longer triggered with the histamine, the histamine goes away. But you've actually reprogrammed your brain to have an anxious reaction to that topic.Lesley Logan  So why we need everyone needs to take Byron Katie's Four Questions instead of trying to make meaning. Just ask yourself, "How do I know this is real?"Dr. Kelly Bender  Right. Absolutely. And so it's been really wild, especially post COVID. Like I said, I've seen so many people have this, you know, hair trigger on their histamine. There is a supplement. And I'm not recommending anyone take this supplement. This is just for educational purposes. But there is a supplement called DAO, which is a I think it's diamino oxidase, but it's the enzyme that actually breaks down histamine in your body. So anti histamine medication blocks histamine from docking at the receptors. But there's tons of different histamine receptors in the body, there's h1, h2, there's like all these different ones. And it only blocks it in some of these places. And it doesn't necessarily block the places that make you feel anxious. So in some people it does, some people it doesn't. But if you take an anti histamine and you're like, "I'm so anxious, and now I'm tired." It doesn't mean that it's not the histamine. (Lesley: Right.) It could be that the histamine wasn't blocked at the proper receptor from the medication. (Lesley: Right.) So DAO is an enzyme that actually eats up and breaks down the histamine faster. It's like taking a lactaid pill if you're lactose intolerant.Lesley Logan  Got it. Okay. Yeah, yeah. So we shouldn't just go out and run out and take the supplement, because you actually probably don't want to block histamine, unnecessarily.Dr. Kelly Bender  I mean, there's low risk to it, but like, talk to your doctor, you know, (Lesley: Yeah.) your doctor kind of a thing. (Lesley: Yeah.) But it is, it's, it's really interesting.Lesley Logan  Yeah. That is so crazy. So then I love for talking about this. Because at the beginning of this, before we recorded, like, it was like, how can we, like people understand that stress is could be, either they could be stressing themselves out to become the next person. Or now that we've heard about histamine, we could be telling ourselves an entire story. We're just keeping us from being it till we see.Dr. Kelly Bender  Completely. I would say that it's actually a another reason to be it till you see it is because what you're feeling and what you're attributing it to, may actually not be correlated. Right? It you may be thinking, "Oh, I'm anxious about doing this podcast, because because I actually have impostor syndrome, and all these things." But your brain is just coming up with a reason that seems rational, (Lesley: Yeah.) why your body's having a certain response.Lesley Logan  That's so, wow, it's, it's so cra... It's so crazy.Dr. Kelly Bender  Like, you can be like, "Okay, I made like, my body feels anxious." But that is one of the biggest thing is like, let your body have whatever response it's having to move energy through. So my Tantra coach, (Lesley: Yeah.) one of the things we work on is emotions and worried is an emotion and you know, stressors and things like that. (Lesley: Yeah.) They're just energy in the body, let it move through. Don't hold try to hold on to them. Don't come up with a story about why you're sad, why you're angry. Discharge that, that emotion and that energy and that feeling. (Lesley: Yeah.) Then see what happens. Because most of the time we come up with a reason why our body feels the way they are. It's irrelevant.Lesley Logan  Yeah. Oh, that is so key. And it made me think of a couple things. So I just want to touch on this, y'all just you can move it out. Like you can just identify it like I'm feeling this way. And like, I don't, you don't have to go I wonder why it's just like I'm feeling this way, period. And then like, but also not to mask it because that's going to cause more stress. So my favorite annual read is The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks and he talks about those like seven signs that you are upper limiting yourself so when you upper limiting yourself it's because you stepped outside of your comfort zone and you're kind of in your niche like you're in your flow of what's coming up next, right. It's that new thing that you've been wanting to have, that new schedule, that new job or that new relationship. Whatever it is and you're like you're like in it and it like feel so good and then your brains like, fuck this scares me I don't actually know where we're turning left yet. I actually don't know where the death. I don't there's too many unknowns come back. And the way that he gets his comeback is through worry, self deprecation, picking fights. You get sick, like you literally just start getting sick. So there's these things and what is so interesting is now that I'm thinking about a lot of them are stressful feeling in the body. So you could be literally stressing yourself out to hold yourself back.Right. Or you could hold yourself back by just having a feeling of stress or unease in your body that is completely unrelated to the thing you're holding yourself back from. So holding yourself back won't even alleviate that anxiety. Because it's like, okay, you got to stop eating that food, you have to, you know, get an air purifier in your house, you know, whatever it is.Yeah, so fascinating. Okay, I mean, gosh, I love you. And I could keep talking to forever. But I feel like, what I hope everyone listening is that you got to really understand it like different ways we can cause stress on ourselves in a way that is not helpful. And then, and then identifying it is just the actual feeling versus making meaning out of it is the most important to identify and skip the meaning part, go make meaning of like, why the sky is blue, you know? Find another non stressful way to make meaning in life. We're gonna come back and just quick second, find out where people can find you, follow you know more about what you're doing in this planet, and also your BE IT action items. (Dr. Kelly Bender: Great.) All right, Dr. Bender, where do you hang out? Where can people if they were in the area, where can they work with you?Dr. Kelly Bender  Yes. So Pure Vitality Rejuvenation Center in Brentwood, Los Angeles. You can go to purevitalitycenter.com. And check us out on the website. We're we're going to be starting to do TikTok. I'm super excited. We're gonna sort of restart our social media presence. We're also opening up in West Hollywood. So we'll be there. Go go online, check it out. There's lots of interesting things. I'll be making some content. Yeah.Lesley Logan  Yeah. So I can't wait for your medical TikTok. I really am excited. Because I feel like I'm gonna learn something more, when I'll actually open up my TikTok app. And you know what? I just have to say, y'all, if you are in either of those areas, you got to go in because talk about like, making meaning and causing stress. I went in to your offices when I was in LA, to get an IV because I was like, gosh, I just I'm like I'm feeling a little under the weather like, but I was like, I can't be sick. Maybe I felt like this because this is going on, maybe I feel like this is because this is going on. Got the IV and I'm like no dehydrated, lack of nutrition wasn't doing my normal morning routine for three weeks. So there's nothing to make meaning of. I just needed my body just needed nutrition. (Dr. Kelly Bender: ... needed the things.) Yes. (Dr. Kelly Bender: Yeah.) So so BE IT action items. I'm really happy to have you on. Y'all last time, I don't want to like, you know, I have no idea what she's gonna say. But I just wanted to say to all of you her last BE IT action item when she was on shift to listen that show we'll put it in the show notes below. One of our listeners reported back that she did it and she made money doing it. So just saying these BE IT action items if you actually use them, they're very beneficial.Dr. Kelly Bender  Yeah, I was gonna I don't know how to follow that one up, right? Like if I was ... that was like the best my best action item. Yeah, I would say my action item for for this one, especially like stress related and things like that is, if you can, if you can do any sort of presence, body, like getting back into your body. So you know, so movements, great Pilates, dance, any of those things, sort of like get back into your body, I think doing that and then reassessing, like, "Is this my body feeling this way and just letting it discharge." Right. So sometimes shaking is a really, really, really helpful way to just discharge energy. So just like your whole body, just like shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake.

Matthew has traveled the world in pursuit of universal truths that all religions seem to point toward. Hypnotherapy, when performed in safe environments with medical supervision, can guide humans to a sense of peace that Matthew strives daily to share with the world. In this episode, you can take comfort in the years of research he is willing to offer free to anyone who takes the challenge to look deeper inside themselves and simply sit.In this episode:

Gina and Matthew J. Brownstein's take a deep dive into hypnotherapy. Matthew's journey into spirituality, health, and healing began in 1992 with a profound spiritual awakening that made him begin seeking the truths of all the world's great wisdom traditions. This sudden shift into a spiritual view of life led Matthew to change his major in college to Philosophy, yet in time it became clear to him that Philosophy was too intellectual and did not offer the direct experiences that he sought for. Changing his major to Religion, Matthew soon discovered Mysticism and the more esoteric branches which led to his increased spiritual experiences. Not knowing what to do with this knowledge, he then went to his first Acupuncture College to learn more about how energy blockages keep us from health, wholeness, and spiritual realization. CEO of Anahat Education Group, Inc. (AEG), President of the International Association of Interpersonal Hypnotherapists (IAIH), and the Founder and Executive Director of the Institute of Interpersonal Hypnotherapy (IIH), the first State-Licensed Postsecondary Vocational Hypnotherapy Institute through the US Department of Education's Commission for Independent Education – License #3448. Matthew is also the founder of Silent Light Publishers (SLP) and the Interpersonal NLP Society. Matthew also studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at the Southwest College of Acupuncture, yet soon found Hypnotherapy and NLP and became fascinated with the mind's ability to heal the body, clear emotional blocks, and restore one to their true self as Spirit. This led to a journey into Hypnotherapy which became a huge foundation of Matthew's Life's Work. Matthew's primary inspiration and mentor for Hypnotherapy has been the late-great Mr. Gil Boyne. Matthew has in depth training in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Massage, Nutrition, Shiatsu, Reiki Levels I & II, Herbology, Homeopathy, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, NLP, Yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Tai Chi Chih, Meditation, Past-Life Regression, Life-Between-Life Regression, Analytical Hypnotherapy, Hypnoanalysis, Gestalt, Ho'oponopono, and Radical Forgiveness. https://www.instituteofhypnotherapy.com/about-matthew-j-brownstein/ wwwe.theliberatedhgealer.com #hypnosis #energy #therapy #suicideprevention #helpothers #kindness #forgiveness #love #herbology Learn more about your ad choices.

We'll explore how environmental toxins are entering our body on a daily basis and may be contributing to the development of chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes! Unfortunately, our current treatment approach to Diabetes does not address these toxins,  which is essential to supporting one's health in the face of this condition and addressing the overall treatment. Carolyn wants to help change the medical paradigm, using detox to support one's overall health when struggling with Diabetes – as well as create customized support plans that don't always require insulin, which can sometimes leave patients fatter and sicker. This topic is very close to my heart as my father suffered from Diabetes. If you or someone you know has, or is at risk for Diabetes, this episode is packed full of essential info!   On today's podcast, you will learn: Problems with our current Type 2 Diabetes medical paradigm. Are statins and cholesterol medications making diabetes worse? How environmental toxins are the leading cause of Type 2 Diabetes. The specific toxins that cause diabetes and where they are found.

Best ways to detox toxins that cause diabetes.    Dr. Carolyn Helser's Bio: Dr. Carolyn Helser is a Naturopathic Physician licensed in the State of Arizona.

If I don't have a better choice can I have my quick fix choice (chips etc.) can I have only one serving? Tips for Eating Mindfully Pausing to ask: Where does your food come from?

Have you or someone you know been in this situation? You have a pain in your stomach and go to the doctor, who prescribes a pill to treat you. But it has a side effect—it raises your blood pressure—so you get another pill to treat that. Then you feel a little lethargic and another pill is prescribed. And before you know it, you're on a treadmill of pills and never ending doctor's appointments, and you feel no better than when you first sought out help. It's situations like this that lead people to seek out alternative treatments and practitioners like my guest, Dr. Judyth Shamosh, an expert in Ayurvedic, Classical Chinese, and Western herbal medicines. In this lively discussion, Judyth talks about how she treats a variety of conditions and explains:•What herbs can do for you•How to use herbs properly•What's wrong with Western medicine•Why more people in the West are embracing Eastern medicine•The first thing a practitioner looks at when dealing with a patient•The remedies that might surprise you•The role dreams play in your health•When to seek out an eastern medical practitioner If we don't have our health, we have nothing. Learn how to keep your body in optimal condition—and what do to when it's not—in this engrossing episode of Dream Power Radio. Judyth Shamosh Ph. D., has been a clinical practitioner since 1994. Founder of Greenfingers Herbal Medicine Clinic, she practices Ayurvedic, Classical Chinese, and Western herbal medicines and teaches apprentices. She has served on the governing council of the American Herbalist's Guild, Arizona Herb Association, and RainStar University College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine and been adjunct faculty of the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Judyth has also worked as assistant curator of the Phoenix Art Museum, geologist, archaeologist, and yoga instructor. With her background in the hard sciences and expertise in Eastern (Ayurvedic and Classical Chinese) and Western herbal medicines, Dr. Judyth is known for her ability to clearly demonstrate how modern physics validates the principles of ancient Eastern medicine. This makes Eastern medicine principles easier to understand and therefore more acceptable for the Western analytical thinker. Because Eastern medicine is phrased in metaphorical language, the descriptions of observed effects and how they are applied are often difficult and daunting for the Western mindset. In her foundational book, The Physics & Poetry of Eastern Herbal Medicine, she clearly reveals how the problem-solving systems-methods of Eastern medicine is comparable to modern physics. Both of these fields use metaphorical language to explain their theories and are, therefore, phrased in the poetry of our everyday experiences. Dr. Judyth's intention is to eventually bring the valuable principles of Eastern medicine into the mainstream of modern health care.
