We were thrilled to welcome Spencer Feldman to the Health Ignited podcast this week to talk about detox, suppositories and electron health. Spencer has been designing and manufacturing detoxification products for over 20 years, creating immediate and effective solutions to navigate the challenges we find ourselves in with an increasingly toxic world. When Spencer went through a period of being unwell, he was motivated to seek answers outside of the traditional medical establishments. As he learned more about the existing detox options at that time, he began to create new products for himself, and then for others. In this episode, Spencer delves into different aspects of the detox process as well as potential challenges people might encounter along the way, and why. He explains why he focused on creating a number of different suppositories for specific types of detox and how they work, and also breaks down how oxalate crystals can affect your health and the impact of diet (particularly with the foods you combine and how you prepare them) on the production of oxalates in the body. Be sure to listen through to the end to discover some interesting information about the relationship of electrons to our bodies! Head over to https://remedylink.com/ref/75/ to explore Spencer's various detox products, including gall bladder flushes, liver flushes, parasite flushes, coffee enemas, castor oil packs, bitters, chelation and more!   If you enjoyed this video, please give it a link and subscribe to our channel for more holistic health and longevity medicine content!

You can almost time it. When a hometown kid arrives, the “we knew her when” pieces aren’t far behind. Shortly after The Help made Octavia Spencer famous, The Birmingham News interviewed Jefferson Davis High School guidance counselor Mrs. Evelyn Moore. “Whatever she did, she did it well and she was never shy. You knew she just had it…there was something about Octavia that stood out and everyone knew she would be something.” Evelyn Moore knew it. The Help writer/director Tate Taylor knew it. What took the rest of us so long? Octavia Spencer graduated ol’ Jefferson Davis in 1988. She was one of seven kids raised by her mom Dellsena Spencer, who worked as a maid and died when Spencer was a teenager. She went on to Auburn University, where you might be surprised to learn she did not study to become an RN, considering it’s a job she’s done between 30 and 40 times on screen, along with an almost equal number of largely nameless cashiers and security guards. Spencer actually majored in English with a double minor in journalism and theater, and the role she originally planned for herself was behind the camera. She worked in casting on a number of local Alabama productions and finally asked to audition for the role of a political agitator in Joel Schumacher’s A Time to Kill. “Joel said, ‘No honey, your face is too sweet. You can be Sandy [Bullock]’s nurse,’” Spencer recalls. Well, there you have it. Her friend and fellow Southerner Tate Taylor encouraged her to move to L.A. in 1997 to pursue acting, and she quickly dotted scores of movies and TV shows, most often in the aforementioned capacities. As briefly or namelessly as she might have appeared, she grabbed us every time. Her face is sweet, but we learned it could morph in a moment to comic wide-eyed disbelief, steely don’t-screw-with-me resolve, wry skepticism, or genuine warmth – making her one of the best reactors in the business. Her roles in Big Momma's House, Miss Congeniality 2, Beauty Shop, Moesha, Chicago Hope, and Ugly Betty, (to name 6 out of nearly 100), were often cited as one of their bright spots, and Entertainment Weekly named her one of Hollywood’s 25 funniest women. Yet after 15 years, most of us still knew her as, “Oh yeah, that funny, sassy black lady.” Then came her appearance as the funny, sassy maid Minny Jackson in The Help, a role that was hers before the screenplay was ever written. When the author of the novel it was based on was having difficulty finding the character’s voice, she called her friend Octavia for help. When Spencer finally embodied Minny on the screen, The Hollywood Reporter wrote, “Spencer’s scrappy Minny Jackson provides not only comic relief but a feistiness that shows that some maids found the gumption and means to get back at overbearing employers. Hers is a great character, the antithesis of Gone With the Wind’s Mammy, and she nearly upends this movie with her righteous sass.” You know the story from there. More raves, wide recognition and an Oscar ensued, and voilà! – no more nurse roles. No, now she was being offered maids. And the offers were substantial, but Spencer knew she had to start saying no to stereotypes to continue growing as an artist, and that she’d need to step outside the studios to show what she could do. She appeared in “Smashed,” James Ponsoldt’s 2012 rumination on alcoholism, and NPR called out her bitingly emotional performance as the mother of Oscar Grant, the young black man shot by a white Oakland transit officer in Fruitvale Station. Then came the dystopian sci-fi Snowpiercer and 2015’s Black or White, in which Spencer starred opposite Kevin Costner, playing Rowna Jeffers, the protective grandmother of a biracial girl. “Ms. Spencer turns the strict, truth-telling Rowena into a mighty force,” said The New York Times. “Her wide-eyed stare gives her the gravity of an all-seeing sage who doesn’t miss a trick and is not afraid to speak her mind. Rowena may be a clichéd Earth Mother, but Ms. Spencer imbues her with a fierce severity.” She stepped back into studio films in a big, Oscar-nominated way with Hidden Figures, playing mathematician Dorothy Vaughan. Despite her reluctance to do period films (no “period” to date having been particularly uplifting to the African- American experience), her anger made her unable to resist. She thought a story about black women working for NASA in the ’60s had to be fiction. No – it was just one of many real stories that never get told. Despite the range of roles she’s being offered now, Spencer’s joked that she’s yet to play anyone remotely like herself, a single, rom-com lovin’ kinda lady. But she sees one that very much fits the bill. At this year’s Makers conference she told Gloria Steinem “The role I'm destined to play is to be one of the greatest producers in Hollywood. It's a huge undertaking, but I want to be a conduit for storytellers." She’s already put her money where her mouth is. She became a producer on Fruitvale Station to help with its financing, and continues to support minority directors and young actors. She’s currently producing a biopic series of Madame C.J. Walker, the first self-made African American female millionaire. Where she is not putting her money is homogeneity. “If I look down a list of characters on a film, and it doesn’t have gay, African-American or Latino characters, I’m probably not going to spend my money on the ticket,” she told Deadline. “When we stop supporting things with our dollars that don’t represent all of us, then you’ll see an explosion of diversity. Art is about reaching people that you wouldn’t normally reach. It’s about bringing us together.” Spencer determined long ago that BMWs and five-closet wardrobes weren’t going to determine when she arrived. It would be when she was steering the ship. But maybe the best measure of success is what you do with your ship when it comes in. “After Hidden Figures, I don’t have a problem saying to a room of male executives: ‘I need a female writer or a female director,’ or ‘I need a black voice or a Latin voice. I don’t feel bad about that.” To some, that might sound like sass. To us, it sounds like a boss.

To offer people something of value that solves a problem, you must know your audience. You can’t market correctly, offer the right solution, or adequately gauge how customers will react if you don’t know them. So what does that learning process look like? Listen in as Dean and I chat with Spencer Lum—The Big Vision Guy at ExtraBold—all about your audience. After years of being unable to hold down a steady job, Spencer found himself building websites. This morphed into helping people with branding. Eventually, Spencer realized he could help others best by solving their very specific problems. He understands how to create and market addictive content. Listen to this episode of Just the Tps for insight into his mind!  Outline of This Episode [0:45] We introduce our guest of the day, Spencer Lum. [3:05] How he learned business the hard way [6:00] Becoming his own boss [10:20] Launching his first business [12:20] Developing a framework [15:40] Look at the symptoms to narrow down the problem [20:20] What is the solution to the problem? [24:00] Understanding practical and emotional pain [26:30] How to build your unique mechanism [29:40] Back to the basics: know your audience [31:50] The part psychology plays [36:30] Spencer’s special Just the Tips offer! There’s always a “but”... When Spencer was a teenager, his Dad told him “You can achieve anything you want...BUT I really don’t know if you’re going to”. It was meant to be a pep-talk and it fell miserably short (but luckily he can look back on it in a humorous light). After years of starting and quitting jobs and becoming a lawyer (it didn’t stick), he finally realized his dad was right. So what was the logical next step? Spencer became a serial entrepreneur. While he was working in an HR position, he started building a website for himself. He soon realized that there was a market for that kind of work, and his first business was born (and he subsequently quit his HR job). Keep listening as we chat about his transition from job-to-job and finally landing on something that stuck.  Develop a framework that meets people’s needs We know if we offer something to the market that nobody needs, it’s not going to succeed. It’s simple: what you offer has to be something that is needed. Spencer lays it out like this: Offer what people need. Find the right way to convey your message. Make sure you’re speaking to the right audience. He fully embraces Gary Bencivenga’s “persuasion equation”. The equation, in its simplest form, looks a little like this: Problem + Promise + Proof + Proposition = Persuasion There is a problem only you can solve that you promise to solve for your audience. You show proof that you can solve it (data and case studies) and propose how you shall do it. The simplest means of persuasion. Know your audience better than they know themselves To sell an idea and appropriately pitch to your audience, you need to understand who they are and what problems they need solved. Spencer points out that most audiences don’t actually know what their problem is. Your job, then, is to figure out their problems based on the “symptoms” and provide a solution.  You need to be able to get in your audience’s head and offer to solve their very specific problem. Are their pages not ranking in google? Do they have low conversion rates? Do they have enough cash-flow from their conversions? Take their measurable problems and find a way to give voice to a solution. Once you’ve identified the symptoms of their problem, narrowed down the issue, and marketed the solution—then you develop the system to solve their problem. You must 100% understand your market before creating anything.  Develop your own secret sauce You have to take everything that you’ve learned about your audience and their problems and develop your own unique and oh-so-special mechanism for solving that problem. You cannot attempt to solve “all the problems” for “all the people”. Spencer advises finding your niche—an audience that you connect with better than anyone else. Solve the problem in a way only you can accomplish. Everyone has something particular that works for them. Your vernacular won’t reach or speak to everyone and that’s okay. Every word you choose and every bit of what you do needs to match with your audience and how they want things done. Everything you do MUST align with who your audience is.

This time, I sat down with a lovely group named Shaed. If you are a lover of good music or a fan of apple products you have definitely encountered their work. They have an EP called ‘Melt’ that was released in the fall of 2018, which you need to go check out, and their song ‘Trampoline’ off of the Melt EP was featured in Apple’s global campaign for the MacBook Air. That song now has over 50 million streams on Spotify alone. Chelsea, Max, and Spencer of Shaed share an uncommon and intimate dynamic not often found in the music industry, or any industry for that matter. Spencer and Max are identical twins, and Chelsea and Spencer got married last October. All three live under the same roof and have for a while with no plans to change. While this may seem odd to people on the outside, it really isn’t, especially once you get to know them. Chelsea, Spencer, and Max have known each other for over a decade, and as a group, they were spending 99% of their time together anyway. Living in the same spot only strengthens that bond and makes the creative process readily accessible. When Spencer and Max have an idea at 2 in the morning, they can hop down to the studio in their boxers while Chelsea is fast asleep, because she’s not as much of a night owl. Then Chelsea can wake up the next morning and play around with what Max and Spencer have created. In this conversation, we dive into what the creative process of Shaed looks like, how recharging by exploring nature can give you that extra boost of creativity, how Max came out to his brother Spencer, whipping up recipes in the instant pot, and more. Even if you aren’t an avid listener of music, or maybe you haven’t heard of Shaed, I encourage to listen to the full extent of this conversation. We talk about a lot of moments and lessons that can be applied to many areas of life, especially those outside of music. Also, they’re pretty cool and I had too much fun with this conversation. And Chelsea promised me pasta so I’ll definitely take her up on that. So maybe whip up a bowl of your own pasta, pour up a hefty glass of wine, and turn up this wide-ranging conversation with Shaed.

Inspiring life despite a diagnosis
Sariah and David: CHARGE Syndrome

Inspiring life despite a diagnosis

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 17, 2017 23:40


When Spencer was less than 24-hours old, he had surgery to fix an issue with his esophagus.  It was the beginning of a medical journey that would eventually lead to the diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome. Now at 17 he is attending high school and taking concurrent enrollment classes at a local college. Proving that you are more than your diagnosis. Diagnosis Doesn’t Define Who He Is Newborn requires surgery A few hours after he was born, it was discovered that Spencer had a tracheoesophageal fistula or TEF.  Sariah, his mother explained, “Essentially with the TEF, the esophagus and his trachea are supposed to form one tube that then splits into two, but his didn’t split all the way, so he had a connection between the two tubes.”  Spencer was life-flighted to a different hospital and had surgery to help correct the TEF when he was less than a day old.  This was the first of three surgeries he had in a six-week period. Spencer also had a blind pouch. “..so his esophagus grew down midway into his chest, and then turned around and grew into itself, so he had no connection to his stomach at all.  That meant that if he took anything orally, which in infancy would all be liquid, it would have gone to his lungs and he would have drowned.” Receiving a diagnosis 11 years later In addition to having to TEF, Spencer is also deaf and has a vision impairment.  These are all things that are common for people who have CHARGE syndrome. Although Spencer has never had a genetic test done, Sariah said that he has a clinical diagnosis. She explained what CHARGE syndrome is, saying, “Each letter in the word CHARGE stands for a different birth defect, so it’s kind of an umbrella term for a bunch of things..a lot of kids with CHARGE syndrome will have a cleft lip or cleft palate.  TEF is really common for heart problems, growth issues, hormonal issues, hearing and vision problems..gastrointestinal, endocrine, all of those things.” Challenges in raising a child with CHARGE syndrome For David, Spencer’s dad, he said the challenges in raising Spencer has been communication.  Since Spencer is deaf, he uses sign language to communicate. However, this was something that David felt like he didn’t take the time to do. He also explained that children who have TEF are prone to get things stuck in their throats while they eat.  He said, “..sometimes if he ate too quickly, he would get stuff caught in his throat, and if we couldn’t get it out, then we would have to go to the hospital and they would have to go in and scope it out.  That was always stressful, just trying to make sure he is eating properly is probably the biggest challenge.” This is something that has become less of an issue as Spencer has gotten older.  Sariah said that it was only an issue until Spencer was about seven or eight years old. Being kind despite how you are treated Both Sariah and David commented about how kind Spencer is to everyone.  Sariah shared, “He has this amazing ability to love everyone regardless of how they are, or how terrible they treat him.  It doesn’t even phase him. He just loves everybody with this amazing love that is a good example, so that is really great to see.” David said, “He is just one of the happiest kids you’ll ever meet despite all these things.
