Lots 12 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:42.119 of my patients suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. And 13 00:00:42.159 --> 00:00:45.439 there's lots of different reasons. It could be where they 14 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:47.960 got back from the military. You know, they were fighting 15 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:55.600 in Afghanistan or Ukraine, or Israel or Iraq, and they, 16 00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.479 you know, on these foreign countries and they've seen people die, 17 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:04.120 their friends get killed, people lose their limbs, they've seen 18 00:01:04.480 --> 00:01:09.280 people bombed and shot and blood and guts and that's traumatic. 19 00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.400 And when they come back to America and try and 20 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.840 live a normal life, they can't because their brain is 21 00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:25.040 wired in this stress mode. It's called post traumatic stress disorder. Now, 22 00:01:25.079 --> 00:01:27.760 it doesn't just have to be you know, going to war. 23 00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:32.400 It could be even when you were. 24 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:39.719 When you were born, right, So some kids have postumatic stress. 25 00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:43.959 They had the court wrapped around their neck. Sometimes it's 26 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:48.159 at one years old they fell off the bed. Sometimes 27 00:01:48.200 --> 00:01:50.040 it's two or three years old when they fell down 28 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:56.000 the stairs. Sometimes it's younger. They got raped. Sometimes they 29 00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:02.680 lost the loved one. Sometimes they've had, you know, emotional stress, 30 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:08.479 abused by their parents. Sometimes they've gotten to a trauma 31 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:11.159 like a car accident or you know, I had a 32 00:02:11.159 --> 00:02:13.439 patient today they got hit in the head with the 33 00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:18.719 baseball bat and they have post traumatic stress disorder. 34 00:02:20.560 --> 00:02:20.719 Right. 35 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:23.639 It could be you know, you were exposed to chemicals. 36 00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.120 It could be you know your spouse was cheating on 37 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:29.719 you for ten years. You know, there's so much different 38 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:36.919 types of trauma. There's emotional trauma, there's physical trauma, right, 39 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:45.639 there's chemical trauma, there's mental trauma. There's all different types 40 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.400 of trauma. We were all traumatized with COVID. 41 00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:49.360 Right. 42 00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.240 Every day you turn on the TV. See all these 43 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:52.039 people dying. 44 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.120 That's traumatic. 45 00:02:54.159 --> 00:02:57.479 See everyone running a mess, everyone's telling you we're all 46 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:01.400 going to die. That's traumatic. So we have this whole 47 00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:09.280 generation of kids that are grown up in trauma, very scary, 48 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:14.400 never seen as much anxiety in young people, as I 49 00:03:14.520 --> 00:03:19.000 have the last four to five years. That's the true 50 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:26.240 epidemic for kids. It's not COVID, it's anxiety. It's the 51 00:03:26.319 --> 00:03:32.120 mental disorders. It's the depression. They're traumatized and their brains 52 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:35.439 are wired that way, and this happened as their brains developed. 53 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:40.919 So as adults, it's gonna be bad news unless we 54 00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:46.319 rewire their brain, unless we use a process called neuroplasticity, 55 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.000 so we don't have post traumatic stress disorder. I have 56 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.840 to rewire your brain because right now, when you go 57 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:03.319 to sleep at night, your door's locked, there's a roof 58 00:04:03.439 --> 00:04:06.719 up over your head, you got clothes on your back, 59 00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:11.599 you have food in the refrigerator, So. 60 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:15.599 Your brain should be relaxed. You're not in Ukraine, you're 61 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:16.480 not getting bombed. 62 00:04:18.160 --> 00:04:24.199 You should be calm, cool and collected, and maybe consciously 63 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.399 you're not in stress mode, right, so you don't go 64 00:04:28.480 --> 00:04:32.000 around thinking somebody's gonna hurt you or mug you or 65 00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:40.079 rape you. But subconsciously, your brain's ready to be attacked 66 00:04:40.079 --> 00:04:44.519 by the lion. And these type of patients, they might 67 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.759 have sleep deprivation, they might have ADHD, they might worry 68 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:57.519 a lot, they might even have anger or aggression. They 69 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:02.439 might have anxiety, they might have pass disorder. These people 70 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:08.800 say their mind's racing a million times a minute. It's 71 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:15.920 gotta slow down. The brain's overactive, right, it's not rocket science. 72 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.560 The brain's overactive. We gotta calm it down. So when 73 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:25.240 we see patients with post traumatic stress disorder, we're gonna 74 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:31.800 calm down their brain. Through neuroplasticity, you can rewire your brain. 75 00:05:33.480 --> 00:05:36.839 Just like you could get a muscle stronger, you can 76 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:42.439 get your brain stronger so it can handle stress. There's 77 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:46.199 lots of different ways to get your brain stronger so 78 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:50.160 it can handle stress. One of the things you could 79 00:05:50.199 --> 00:05:57.879 do is end your shower with cold. It's painful, it's tough. 80 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:02.000 I've been doing it for years. Still don't like it. 81 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.319 I like when I end it. But you gotta be uncomfortable. 82 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:14.000 If you know how to be uncomfortable, you can handle 83 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:19.759 stress better. So every time it's cold, don't put on 84 00:06:19.800 --> 00:06:24.160 your coat, you know, go outside in a T shirt 85 00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:28.319 and shorts in the winter, you know, not all day long, 86 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.639 well maybe for a minute or two and suffer. 87 00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:37.639 Get your brain stronger, you. 88 00:06:37.600 --> 00:06:40.240 Know, as it gets hot out, don't always put on 89 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.920 the air condition Suffer a little bit. Maybe you sweat 90 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:50.439 a little bit, but that makes your brain stronger, you know, 91 00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:57.120 But eight o'clock at night, don't eat, go to bed hungry, suffer. 92 00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:57.360 A little bit. 93 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:04.600 That helps you deal with air anxiety and stress. Because 94 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.480 if every time you're cold you turn on the heat, 95 00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:10.759 and every time you're hot, you turn on the air conditioner, 96 00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:15.800 and every time you're hungry you eat, and every time 97 00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:21.279 you're tired you take a nap. You got to push 98 00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:26.600 through it. You gotta be more resilient. You gotta be uncomfortable. 99 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.920 Then you can handle the stress better. But if only 100 00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:39.920 activities are done that you're very comfortable with, then your 101 00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:43.319 brain doesn't have to work. You got to do new challenges, 102 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.399 meet new people, do new activities, take on new hobbies, 103 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:55.319 learn a new task. Get your brain stronger and more resilient. 104 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.439 Challenge yourself. Make the brain work for it. You can 105 00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:02.560 handle stress better. 106 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:04.920 You know. 107 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.399 Memorize people's phone numbers. Challenge yourself. Memorize your grocery list, 108 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:19.199 memorize the address, memorize the directions. Challenge yourself. Don't be 109 00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:23.639 so comfortable. You gotta be uncomfortable. Do things that you're 110 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:29.639 not used to all right, that's when your brain gets strong. 111 00:08:29.680 --> 00:08:37.720 When you're uncomfortable, Now do it in a way that's safe. 112 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:40.679 All right. You gotta be safe, But. 113 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:41.679 You gotta challenge yourself. 114 00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:45.159 Right. Imagine you went to the gym and all you 115 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:46.000 did was lift. 116 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:47.960 Three pounds, and you never challenge yourself, and you never 117 00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:52.879 got uncomfortable. You wouldn't gain any muscle mass. You know, 118 00:08:53.000 --> 00:08:54.960 you gotta when you go to the gym, you gotta 119 00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:57.000 sweat a little bit. Your heart has to beat a 120 00:08:57.000 --> 00:09:00.679 little fast. Your muscle's gotta strain a little bit. You 121 00:09:00.759 --> 00:09:02.960 gotta challenge yourself. You got to be uncomfortable. 122 00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:06.240 That's when you improve. 123 00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:17.320 Always be uncomfortable. Be uncomfortable in your relationship, Be vulnerable, 124 00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:23.720 Be uncomfortable in your job. Work harder than you can 125 00:09:23.759 --> 00:09:28.440 ever imagine. It will pay off. And I don't care 126 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.679 what you do. If you sweep the steps, make those 127 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.759 steps look as beautiful as possible. Right, whatever you do, 128 00:09:37.879 --> 00:09:42.960 take pride in your work. Be the best. If you 129 00:09:43.039 --> 00:09:49.080 answer the phones, be the best phone answer.

Be the best customer. 133 00:10:02.159 --> 00:10:05.360 I don't care what your job is right. I'm a doctor. 134 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:10.120 I want to be the best doctor ever. I want 135 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:14.600 to blow my patients away. I want to teach them 136 00:10:14.600 --> 00:10:18.759 stuff that no doctors ever teach them. I want to 137 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:20.600 get to the root cause of their problem instead of 138 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.879 hiding up symptoms. I want patience to know that I 139 00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:33.039 care about them and that my team cares about them. 140 00:10:33.159 --> 00:10:38.000 All right, we got to be the best. If you 141 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:43.519 try your hardest, which is being uncomfortable, you're gonna get 142 00:10:43.519 --> 00:10:47.000 those results. All right. Maybe you don't want to wake 143 00:10:47.080 --> 00:10:50.039 up early Sunday morning to go to church. You gotta 144 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.600 be uncomfortable whatever it is. Maybe you don't want to 145 00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:59.600 volunteer at eight o'clock at night. You got to be uncomfortable. 146 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:07.120 But that's when you get stronger. So if you have 147 00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:11.120 post traumatic stress disorder, one of the things you have 148 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:17.279 to do is rewire your brain through a process called neuroplasticity, 149 00:11:17.399 --> 00:11:23.799 to make your brain stronger and more resilient.

So 154 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.320 When you have post traumatic stress disorder, you have to 155 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:46.879 rewire your brain.

Old and what happened, was when she 190 00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.879 was a little, girl she would hear the door creak 191 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:36.759 open in the middle of the, night and she knew 192 00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.360 when that door creaked, open that was her uncle coming 193 00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:44.840 to rape. Her as an, adult every time she heard 194 00:14:44.840 --> 00:14:48.519 the door, creak she had post traumatic stress, disorder and 195 00:14:48.519 --> 00:14:52.639 then she started getting flashbacks of her uncle and that 196 00:14:52.759 --> 00:14:57.600 created panic, attack, anxiety, insomnia she couldn't hold down her, 197 00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.120 job she couldn't hold a, relationship she lost all her 198 00:15:01.240 --> 00:15:06.080 quality of. Life so we had to rewire her, brain 199 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:09.639 and we have to teach, her, hey every time that door, 200 00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:14.679 opens you're. Safe no one's trying to hurt you. Anymore 201 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:26.320 that was fifteen years. Ago right, now you're. Safe if 202 00:15:26.320 --> 00:15:31.279 we don't rewire the, brain it gets stuck in stress, 203 00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.519 mode and we call that the fighter flight. Mode and 204 00:15:34.559 --> 00:15:37.519 we're in that fighter flight, mode you're gonna have increased. 205 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:42.360 Cortisol and cortisol is the stress, hormone and that will 206 00:15:42.360 --> 00:15:44.240 mess up a lot of, things can mess up your, 207 00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.639 sleep your.

Bacteria we want 294 00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:24.039 good bacteria in our, mouth we just don't want the 295 00:22:24.160 --> 00:22:27.079 bad bacteria in our. Mouth so the best way to 296 00:22:27.119 --> 00:22:30.319 get rid of the bad bacteria it's called oil. Pulling 297 00:22:31.079 --> 00:22:34.200 so you get some moreganic coconut, oil and right in the, 298 00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:37.119 morning right when you wake, up before you even speak to, 299 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:43.000 anybody before you, swallow take some coconut.

Bacteria and then 304 00:22:57.759 --> 00:22:59.720 you spit it out in the, garbage not in the. 305 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.440 Pipe we don't want to ruin our pipes with the, 306 00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:07.559 oil but spit it out in the garbage because you 307 00:23:07.559 --> 00:23:09.680 don't want to swallow it. Either that's all the bad 308 00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:13.440 bacteria you gotta get rid. Of so the coconut oil 309 00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:16.799 will kill off the bad, bacteria sparing the good. Bacteria 310 00:23:17.359 --> 00:23:23.559 but alcohol listerine mouthwash will kill off. Everything and your 311 00:23:23.640 --> 00:23:28.000 mouth needs good bacteria and your gut needs good. Bacteria 312 00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:33.279 that's why antibiotics are bad, also because that kills off 313 00:23:33.400 --> 00:23:37.599 all the good. Bacteria we don't want to kill the good. 314 00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:40.960 Bacteria so if you ever have taken, antibiotics you must take. 315 00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:45.559 Probiotics and if you are taking, antibotics you do probiotics in. 316 00:23:45.599 --> 00:23:47.799 Between so if you take, antibiotics eight am and eight. 317 00:23:47.839 --> 00:23:51.079 Pm you take probiotics at two, pm and then after 318 00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:54.000 you're done taking. Antibiotics you got to take lots of, 319 00:23:54.039 --> 00:23:57.200 probiotics and every two months switch it because you want different, 320 00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:01.359 bacteria different, Strains they have different jobs and. Activities and you, 321 00:24:01.400 --> 00:24:04.400 know once we get your good gut microbiome, going you 322 00:24:04.400 --> 00:24:07.440 don't have to keep taking the same probiotic because now 323 00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:11.640 they're replenishing on their. Own so we don't want to 324 00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:15.039 take antibioticsa that kills the good. Bacteria we don't want 325 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.880 to take drink or use listering because that kills the good. 326 00:24:18.960 --> 00:24:22.759 Bacteria we don't want to take necessarily statins because that 327 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:27.519 kills the good. Cholesterol, right our body has good, bacteria 328 00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:31.799 it's got good, cholesterol it's got good brain. 329 00:24:31.960 --> 00:24:33.400 Cells we just. 330 00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.559 Need those glio those nursal cells to take away the 331 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:40.400 bad brain.
