Now, a big health concern on the majority 10 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:40.240 of Americans is chronic health conditions. Now, America has the 11 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.840 best doctors in the world. If you have an emergency, 12 00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:47.840 if you need your life saved, if you got into 13 00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.399 an accident, you have some stroke that they got to fix, 14 00:00:52.520 --> 00:00:54.560 or a tumor that they got to remove, or a 15 00:00:54.600 --> 00:01:03.280 broken bone, whatever it is, surgery, urgency, a life threatening issue, 16 00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:07.719 America is the place where you want to be. We 17 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:10.799 have the best doctors, the best facilities, the best hospitals 18 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:18.760 for emergency situations. Now, when we're talking about chronic conditions, 19 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:24.560 we probably have the worst doctors in the world because 20 00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:30.079 they are not sufficient in education to tell you the 21 00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:34.879 education you need to know to reverse secure chronic conditions. 22 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.799 If you have heart disease, They're just going to give 23 00:01:38.840 --> 00:01:44.319 you high blood pressure medication. If you have cholesterol, they're 24 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:48.799 just going to give you statins. Right, They're not going 25 00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:51.439 to get to the root cause of the problem. If 26 00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:54.640 you have diabetes, they're just going to give you me foreman. 27 00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.680 If you have cancer, you're just going to get chemo radiation. 28 00:02:02.480 --> 00:02:07.079 These are chronic conditions, and now even kids are getting 29 00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:13.919 chronic conditions. It's pretty scary. It used to be heart disease, diabetes, 30 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:17.280 that type of stuff wouldppen if you're seventy eighty, ninety 31 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:22.919 years old. Now we're getting ten twenty year olds with diabetes. 32 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:28.639 We're getting teenagers and kids in their twenties with heart problems. 33 00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:35.680 It's a little scary. Now. If you want advice on 34 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.639 how to reverse heart disease, you don't want to talk 35 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:42.840 to your typical American doctor because they don't know. They're 36 00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:47.360 not taught that in school. It's not their fault, but 37 00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.240 what they're taught in school is if you have heart disease, 38 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:56.520 you take heart and medication. If you have diabetes, you 39 00:02:56.599 --> 00:03:02.400 take diabetes medication. If you have cancer, uni chemo or radiation. 40 00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:09.080 That's their education. Are they taught Hey, you have high 41 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.840 blood pressure. Let's get to the root cause of the 42 00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:18.360 high blood pressure. Maybe it's stress. Maybe you have to 43 00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:23.800 start to meditate or practice mindfulness. Maybe your blood pressure 44 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.639 is high because you don't get good sleep. Maybe you 45 00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:28.719 just start changing your sleeping habits, starting to go to 46 00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:33.039 bed a little earlier. Maybe your high blood pressures do 47 00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:38.240 because you're dehydrated and you don't drink enough water. If 48 00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.400 you don't drink enough water, your blood becomes thick. And 49 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:47.280 if your blood becomes thick or viscous, it needs to 50 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:51.479 increase the blood pressure to squeeze the blood through your vessels. 51 00:03:52.439 --> 00:03:57.159 If you're hydrated and your blood is nice and fluid 52 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.800 and thin, it's gonna go through those vessels easy, and 53 00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:05.000 you don't need your blood pressure to go up. So 54 00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:07.159 I don't know if you guys knew this, but stress 55 00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:11.800 causes high blood pressure. Lack of sleep causes high blood pressure, 56 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:17.519 dehydration causes lack causes high blood pressure. So what I 57 00:04:17.600 --> 00:04:20.439 do as a functional doctor is get to the root cause. 58 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.399 Don't just give you high blood pressure medication. Maybe you 59 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:30.240 have a sedentary lifestyle. If you have a sedentary lifestyle, 60 00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:33.879 you've got to follow the twenty rule. The twenty rule 61 00:04:33.959 --> 00:04:38.000 is every twenty minutes, you get up for twenty seconds 62 00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:41.920 move your body. If it's a twenty second walk, twenty 63 00:04:41.959 --> 00:04:46.519 second sitting to standing, twenty second shoulder rolls, twenty second 64 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:50.920 jumping jacks, twenty second push ups, twenty second sit ups, 65 00:04:51.279 --> 00:04:55.879 twenty second lunges, twenty second squats. I don't care what 66 00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.480 you do, but do movement for twenty seconds every twenty minutes. 67 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.600 That's the twenty rule. Maybe you have heart disease because 68 00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:13.800 lack of physical exercise. Maybe you got to start going 69 00:05:13.839 --> 00:05:17.639 to the gym or playing a sport, taking up a 70 00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:21.759 new hobby, doing new activities. Find something that you like 71 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:25.319 to do. I don't care if it's a pole dancing class, 72 00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.959 if it's a belly dancing, I don't care if you 73 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:34.879 do zoomba, taichi, yoga, pilates, bar orange theory. I don't 74 00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:38.279 care what you do, but make sure you do it. 75 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:40.720 If it's something that you like, you'll do it right. 76 00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.879 If you like sports, you know, join a basketball league 77 00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:48.800 or a tennis club, or join a soccer group. Right. 78 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.120 If you like sports, pick a sport so you could 79 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:55.560 be active. If you like running, start running. If you 80 00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:58.680 like biking. Start biking. If you like dancing, start dancing. 81 00:05:58.839 --> 00:06:02.560 Just find something you like and keep your body moving. 82 00:06:03.079 --> 00:06:05.480 You really want to do it. Twenty minutes a day 83 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:11.120 and minimum three to four days a week. You gotta 84 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.240 move your body right. A lot of people have heart 85 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:18.759 disease because they stop exercising. People blame it on age. 86 00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.680 Now it's not the age. When you're a kid, you're 87 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.879 much more active. When you become an adult. A lot 88 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:30.759 of times you decrease your activity, all right. So if 89 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.560 you have heart disease, it might be because of lack 90 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:38.639 of exercise. If you have heart disease, it might be 91 00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.959 due to poor diet. You might eat a lot of 92 00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:45.720 fried foods. You might use a lot of seed oils. 93 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:52.279 Most oils are really bad. Sunflower oil, sapflower oil, canola oil, 94 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:58.399 soybean oil. These are all bad. Stay away from all 95 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:02.519 those vegetable oils. Corn and oil, Oh my god, these 96 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:07.319 are horrible. GrapeSEED oil. There's only a few oils that 97 00:07:07.399 --> 00:07:11.600 are safe to imbibe, but it's always better to eat 98 00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:18.160 the real foods. For example, olive oil is safe to eat, 99 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:24.720 but it's much better to eat olives eat the whole food. 100 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:30.399 Avocado oil is safe to eat. But it's better to 101 00:07:30.480 --> 00:07:36.680 eat the whole avocado, right, So it's better to actually 102 00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:40.720 eat the whole foods. It's better to eat an apple 103 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.560 than to have apple juice. It's better to eat an 104 00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:50.920 orange than to drink orange juice. Juicing is not healthy. 105 00:07:52.040 --> 00:07:54.519 A lot of people think, oh, juicing is healthy. They 106 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.879 juice every morning and they think they're being healthy. No, 107 00:07:58.000 --> 00:08:01.360 juicing takes out all that he healthy fiber and leaves 108 00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:05.519 you all the unhealthy sugar. If you really want to 109 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:09.720 juice for your health, get a juicer, and then after 110 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.680 you juice everything, pour out the juice and eat the scraps. 111 00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:18.160 That's where the healthy stuff is, and the skin and 112 00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:23.199 the scraps, it's the fiber, the nutrients. The juice is 113 00:08:23.240 --> 00:08:27.319 all the sugar. Yeah, it tastes good, but is that 114 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:30.439 good for your brain? Is that good if you have cancer, 115 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:35.240 heart disease, or diabetes. No, it's not good. You want 116 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:41.080 to prevent Alzheimer's not good. You want to prevent Parkinson's 117 00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:45.360 not good. You want to prevent obesity, not good. Eat 118 00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:50.840 the whole food, not the juice. Now, in regards to oils, 119 00:08:51.159 --> 00:08:54.440 the only safe oils to cook with, are coconut oil 120 00:08:54.519 --> 00:08:57.919 or alvocado oil. Don't cook with olive oil. You can 121 00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:03.200 eat olive oil under high heat, alivoid becomes carcinogenic. And 122 00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.440 we don't want cancer. We want to avoid these chronic conditions. 123 00:09:08.960 --> 00:09:14.960 In regards to cancer. Yes, sugar causes cancer. Stay away 124 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:20.360 from sugar. Stay away from bread and cookies, cake and 125 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:24.960 rice and potatoes and pasta and noodles and cereal and 126 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:32.679 oatmeal and grains and crackers and muffins and croissants and 127 00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:39.600 toasts and bagels. Stay away from all that for cancer. 128 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.360 Then you also have to stay away from chemicals. Cancer 129 00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:47.960 loves the chemicals. Stay away from bleaches and makeups and 130 00:09:48.279 --> 00:09:52.600 haird eyes and nail polish. And stay away from the 131 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.200 cleaning stuff like the laundry detergents and tide and the 132 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:03.559 fabric softeners. And stay away from the toxic soaps and perfumes. 133 00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.960 You know there's essential oils can make your smell better. 134 00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:15.039 Don't use candles and incense and fabrize and glade and lysol, 135 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.240 right that stuff is toxic. Stay away from all the 136 00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:21.200 heavy metals for cancer. Don't have any mercury. You could 137 00:10:21.200 --> 00:10:23.000 be in your teeth. It could be in your fish. 138 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:25.360 Don't have lead. It could be in your paint or 139 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.559 your pipes. Don't have arsenic. It could be in brown 140 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.519 rice or apple juice. Don't have aluminum. It could be 141 00:10:32.519 --> 00:10:36.759 in your deodorant or your aluminum foils or pans or cans. 142 00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:39.919 Stay away from fluoride. It could be in your water 143 00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.039 and your tooth based and when you go to the dentist. 144 00:10:43.639 --> 00:10:46.000 You gotta stay away from these toxic chemicals. If you 145 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:49.679 want to avoid cancer and stay away from radiation, don't 146 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:53.039 do all these X rays and catskins and pet scans 147 00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:58.600 and MRIs and the dental x rays and the airport 148 00:10:58.799 --> 00:11:02.600 x rays and the Starbucks has a bunch of radiation 149 00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.679 just from the Wi Fi. Stay away from the five gs, 150 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:08.799 Stay away from all the data, Stay away from all 151 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:13.080 the antennas. Don't keep your phone on you while the 152 00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.159 five G is on and the Wi Fi is on. 153 00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:19.200 Turn everything off, put on airplane mode, turn off your computers, 154 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:21.720 turn off your iPads, turn off your phones when you 155 00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:23.679 need it. Yes, you could turn it back on, but 156 00:11:23.759 --> 00:11:27.159 stay away from all these radiations. Stop using Bluetooth and 157 00:11:27.320 --> 00:11:32.720 Apple watches and all this radiation. Right, we got to 158 00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:39.279 minimize computer phones, iPads, smart TVs, smart devices. Stay away 159 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:43.480 from all the radiation. So for cancer, it likes sugar. 160 00:11:44.000 --> 00:11:50.840 For cancer, it likes stress. For cancer, it likes radiation, 161 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:57.039 so stay away. You want minimal stress, minimal radiation, minimal 162 00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:03.120 sugar and flammatory foods for diabetes. Keep your body moving. 163 00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:07.799 You gotta move, and don't eat at night. The worst 164 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:09.840 thing is eating at night and you can't break down 165 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.360 your food.

A big concern as far as health in 189 00:13:41.559 --> 00:13:48.120 today's society is mood disorders. Is your mental health? In 190 00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:53.799 the last five years, I've never seen such a boost 191 00:13:54.159 --> 00:14:00.799 in younger people with mood disorders or mental health health problems. 192 00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:04.879 My office is just, oh my god, there's so many 193 00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:13.240 kids with anxiety, depression, panic disorders. God, there's just so 194 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:21.879 much stress. And the technology makes it worse. Right because 195 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:27.080 now kids after they went home from school, now I 196 00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:31.600 would be able to relax. Now, the bullying never stops 197 00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:35.000 when they get from home from school. Now they're bullied 198 00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:41.240 over text messages, they're bully over Snapchat and TikTok and Instagram. 199 00:14:41.480 --> 00:14:45.080 So they're bullied constantly. And it's easier to bully people 200 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.440 when you don't see their reaction. All right. When I 201 00:14:49.480 --> 00:14:53.480 was growing up, you know, the bullies, if they hurt you, 202 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.480 you would they would see you cry, and they would 203 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:58.879 see you hurt, and they would see your frown and 204 00:14:58.879 --> 00:15:02.440 and and they might have some empathy and they might 205 00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:05.639 not pick on you as much because they don't like 206 00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:10.120 to see other people feel bad. When you bully online, 207 00:15:10.200 --> 00:15:12.639 you don't see the reaction, So you don't see people 208 00:15:12.679 --> 00:15:16.080 that might be crying or you know, what they say, 209 00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:18.720 And then it's much easier to bully people when you 210 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.159 don't see their reaction. Another thing that's a problem with 211 00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:27.879 the cell phones is people get depressed when they don't 212 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:31.879 get a reaction. So let's say, if you know, you 213 00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:35.600 have a fifteen year old kid and they text message 214 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:38.279 their friends, Hey guys, you want to you know, do 215 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:45.799 something this weekend. Nobody responds. Then they get depressed. Then 216 00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:49.720 it's an hour nobody responds, and they get even more depressed, 217 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:54.639 and it's four hours nobody responds. Now they're in panic mode. Hey, 218 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.720 how come no one's responding? Why do they all hate me? 219 00:15:57.759 --> 00:15:59.279 Why am I such a loser? I act I have 220 00:15:59.320 --> 00:16:01.960 no friends? In their mind just goes boom boom boom. 221 00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:05.639 They get anxiety, they get depressed, they get paniced because 222 00:16:05.679 --> 00:16:11.200 they're not getting a response. Or if you post something 223 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:14.039 on social media and you don't get a comment or 224 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:18.559 a like, you get depressed. And if it lasts an 225 00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.080 hour two hours and there's no comments, no likes, you 226 00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:28.440 get even more depressed. So the technology messes with our brain. 227 00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.440 And keep in mind when people post s uff on 228 00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:38.120 social media, right, they're posting the best part of their lives. 229 00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:42.200 They're posting when they're all their hair is perfect and 230 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:46.080 they're in shape, and when they're on vacation, and when 231 00:16:46.080 --> 00:16:48.519 they're driving their fancy car, and when they're in front 232 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:51.519 of their big house or whatever it is. They're on 233 00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.360 the airplane or at the beach. Take a picture of 234 00:16:54.360 --> 00:17:00.120 your legs. So it's like everybody posts their glamorous life. 235 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:03.759 Are they posting their fat rolls? No? Are they posting 236 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:08.079 their wrinkles, no, their gray hairs? No? Are they posting 237 00:17:08.079 --> 00:17:12.200 their fight with their spouse. No. Are they posting how 238 00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:16.440 they lost their big game, no, how they fail to test. No, 239 00:17:17.640 --> 00:17:20.680 They're only posting this stuff that makes them look good. 240 00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.880 So when you scroll on social media and you see 241 00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:26.519 all these amazing lives, it makes your life look like crap, 242 00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:28.880 and then you get depressed and you get anxious. How 243 00:17:28.920 --> 00:17:31.160 come this person has money? How come this person has 244 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.559 big cage? How can this person looks so good like 245 00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.559 they have no wrinkles like them, their hair looks beautiful 246 00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:38.640 like them. They don't have those love handles like them. 247 00:17:38.680 --> 00:17:41.759 Their boobs are big and their butt looks better. How 248 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.759 come they are so much better, good looking, richer, happier 249 00:17:45.759 --> 00:17:49.960 than me. They're not. They're just posting stuff that makes 250 00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.880 them look happy. It's not reality, and that causes depression, 251 00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:04.480 that causes anxiety. Mess your brain up. What else is 252 00:18:04.519 --> 00:18:08.559 on social media? It's the news putting you in fear mode. 253 00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:14.759 Oh there's World War three. Oh there's racism. Oh there's sexism. 254 00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:19.359 Oh Trump's gonna kill us. O Biden's dementia. Oh you know, 255 00:18:19.440 --> 00:18:24.079 it's like everything is just fear, fear, fear, and depends 256 00:18:24.079 --> 00:18:26.759 on you know who you're watching. If you're watching you 257 00:18:26.839 --> 00:18:29.880 know Fox, they're gonna say, oh, the Democrats are spending 258 00:18:29.920 --> 00:18:33.160 all our money and they're you know, gonna kill us 259 00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:35.640 all and they're gonna let these diseases in and all 260 00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:40.759 this stuff. You know, if you're listening to the democratic one. 261 00:18:40.799 --> 00:18:44.200 They say, oh, the Republicans, they're gonna take away our democracy. 262 00:18:44.240 --> 00:18:46.359 They're gonna put us all in jail. They're gonna ship 263 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.079 away anyone who's not you know, white. It's like, oh 264 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:54.480 my god. It's like there's fear mode, fear fear, fear fear. Ooh, 265 00:18:54.480 --> 00:18:57.720 there's fires, fear mode. Ooh, there's hurricanes, fear mood. Oh, 266 00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:02.759 there's earthquakes, there's world war, there's racism, there's police brutality. 267 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:06.680 Oh my god. Of course, if you watch the news 268 00:19:06.880 --> 00:19:11.039 on social media or just cable, you're gonna be stressed. 269 00:19:12.480 --> 00:19:16.480 I have tons of patients with mood disorders, severe anxiety, 270 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:22.799 panic disorders that decrease significantly after they stopped watching the news. 271 00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:28.720 You gotta turn off the news. It's not gonna tell 272 00:19:28.799 --> 00:19:31.720 you what you want to hear. It's gonna put you 273 00:19:31.799 --> 00:19:36.720 in fear mode. The news is a business. They want 274 00:19:36.759 --> 00:19:41.400 you to watch, so advertisers will spend money on the commercials. 275 00:19:42.680 --> 00:19:45.960 So they're gonna do stories that keep you tuned in, 276 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:48.440 keep you in fear. Oh my god, we're all gonna die. 277 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:51.079 I gotta see what they're gonna say. Oh no, the 278 00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:53.759 big snowstorm. Oh no, it's a big hurricane. We're all 279 00:19:53.839 --> 00:19:56.960 gonna die. Trump's gonna kill us, They're gonna take away 280 00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.880 your guns, they're gonna police, they're gonna chew you. It's like, 281 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:05.720 oh my god, everything is beer beer, beer beer, And 282 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:10.000 it's done that way on purpose. The news is not 283 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:15.079 meant to inform you of what's going on. In fact, 284 00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:19.400 if you watch the news, you're misinformed because they're not 285 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.720 telling you the truth. They're telling you what they want 286 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:27.599 to hear, what their agenda is. They're telling you what 287 00:20:27.680 --> 00:20:30.000 stuff is going to put you in fear mode. They're 288 00:20:30.079 --> 00:20:33.200 telling you stuff that's going to make you rely on 289 00:20:33.319 --> 00:20:38.000 the government to save you and pharmaceuticals to improve your health. 290 00:20:38.079 --> 00:20:40.119 And you know, it's like they put you in this 291 00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.440 fear mode and they say, ooh, the government will help you, 292 00:20:43.880 --> 00:20:47.440 the pharmaceutical companies will help you, and they make it 293 00:20:47.559 --> 00:20:50.839 sound like, oh, everyone's here to save you from all 294 00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:56.000 these dramas. But the truth is you could save yourself. 295 00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:01.039 You don't need the government to save you need pharmaceutical 296 00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:05.000 companies to save you. You could do it on your own. 297 00:21:05.319 --> 00:21:10.240 You could build your own community, you could create your 298 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:16.400 own group of health and love and well being. You 299 00:21:16.440 --> 00:21:18.359 could be smart with your money so you don't need 300 00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.960 social Security. You could be smart with your health so 301 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:27.920 you don't need pharmaceuticals. If you be smart when you're younger, 302 00:21:28.480 --> 00:21:31.559 then that saves you when you're older. An ounce of 303 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:37.200 prevention is worth a pound of cure. Now, most doctors, 304 00:21:37.599 --> 00:21:39.759 if you have depression, what are they gonna do. They're 305 00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:43.880 gonna give you an anti depressant. If you have an anxiety, 306 00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:47.559 they're gonna give you an anti anxiety pill. God, I 307 00:21:47.599 --> 00:21:51.160 can't believe how many people come in. Oh, I'm on lexapro, 308 00:21:51.440 --> 00:21:56.599 I'm on Xenix. It's like all these drugs to just 309 00:21:56.759 --> 00:22:01.480 shut off the brain. Because if you shut off the brain, 310 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:05.079 now you don't feel as much depression. If you shut 311 00:22:05.119 --> 00:22:10.000 off the brain, you don't feel as much anxiety. But 312 00:22:10.240 --> 00:22:14.400 the problem is, if you shut off the brain, you 313 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:19.720 don't feel as much happiness, as much joy, love, passion, motivation. 314 00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:27.279 You lose that oath, you lose that energy. And patients 315 00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:30.160 won't even tell me to become zombies. And a lot 316 00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:32.799 of these medications cause them to gain weight, so they 317 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:35.400 come to me to lose weight. I have to approve 318 00:22:35.440 --> 00:22:38.200 their brain first, so then we can start to decrease 319 00:22:38.240 --> 00:22:41.839 the medication, but you gotta get the brain better first. 320 00:22:42.079 --> 00:22:44.720 It's very dangerous to get off these medications of these 321 00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:48.559 mood stabilizers. So you're gonna do it in a smart way. 322 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:50.519 You gotta get your brain better first, and then you 323 00:22:50.559 --> 00:22:56.039 gotta gradually decrease it, supervised by a doctor in a healthy, 324 00:22:56.319 --> 00:23:03.799 safe way. All right. Key for depression is progression. It's 325 00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:09.480 not alexi pro deficiency. You don't need more lithium. You 326 00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:13.680 need progression. Progression in your health, progression in your finances, 327 00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:17.279 progression in your job, progression in your religion, progression in 328 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:21.720 your charity, progression in your giving, progression in your loving, 329 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:25.839 progression in your relationships. Whatever it is you got to 330 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:30.799 make progression. You're got to prove. The key for anxiety 331 00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:36.400 is distraction. You know, the when somebody is anxious, saying 332 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.799 calm down, relax, it's gonna be okay. That doesn't work. 333 00:23:40.759 --> 00:23:43.200 You get them out of the room, do something different, 334 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:48.480 Get a distraction, all right. People get depressed when they 335 00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.279 think about the past, so live in the moment today. 336 00:23:52.039 --> 00:23:55.920 People get anxious when they think about the future. Focus 337 00:23:55.960 --> 00:23:59.680 on today. There's no such thing as the past or 338 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:05.200 the future. All that exists is today. You've never experienced yesterday, 339 00:24:05.920 --> 00:24:12.160 You've never experienced tomorrow. Those are just human thoughts of communication, 340 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.480 but they don't exist. You'll never experience tomorrow because tomorrow 341 00:24:18.599 --> 00:24:22.400 is always the next day. It doesn't happen. You only 342 00:24:22.440 --> 00:24:26.640 experience today. You have to live in the moment, practice mindfulness, 343 00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:32.359 and then you decrease your depression, you decrease your anxiety. 344 00:24:33.240 --> 00:24:38.400 All right, So live in the moment. Live in the moment. 345 00:24:38.640 --> 00:24:43.359 Be with whoever you're being with. If you're at the gym, 346 00:24:43.480 --> 00:24:46.640 be at the gym. If you're at school, be at school. 347 00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:48.960 If you're at a date night, be at date night. 348 00:24:49.119 --> 00:24:51.720 Stop getting distracted with your cell phone and your texting 349 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.480 and your Facebook and your Instagram and your Snapchat and 350 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:59.480 your tick doc, your emails and text messages.

One of the biggest concerns of people these 372 00:26:31.839 --> 00:26:37.599 days is the environmental health. There's lots of problems in 373 00:26:37.640 --> 00:26:42.319 the environment, starting from the water. You know, the water 374 00:26:42.519 --> 00:26:48.039 is full of toxins. There's actually a island the size 375 00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:53.000 of Texas of just garbage and plastic floating in the 376 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:59.440 Pacific Ocean. Just garbage polluting our oceans. There's a radiation 377 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:03.599 leading into the Pacific Ocean from Japan from the nuclear meltdown. 378 00:27:04.200 --> 00:27:08.920 You know, a dozen years ago, it's still leaking radiation. 379 00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:13.799 They have radiation in New York at Indian Point or 380 00:27:13.920 --> 00:27:19.039 Indian Head where they it's an old nuclear plant where 381 00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:25.160 they're discarding toxins in the Hudson River in upstate New York, 382 00:27:25.400 --> 00:27:29.759 and those nuclear waste products are in the Hudson Member 383 00:27:29.799 --> 00:27:31.680 and they're going all the way from Upstate New York 384 00:27:31.960 --> 00:27:35.559 down to New York City. And they're allowed to do 385 00:27:35.640 --> 00:27:42.000 that by your own government. They're literally letting nuclear radiation 386 00:27:42.799 --> 00:27:47.119 in the Hudson legally in New York, upstate. That's going 387 00:27:47.160 --> 00:27:50.839 all the way down to New York City. So right, 388 00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:55.720 your governor, right your politicians, say, hey, we don't want 389 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.680 this nuclear waste in our water in Japan. Yes, we 390 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.359 don't control Japan, but the world has got to get 391 00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:06.759 together to solve this problem. The whole Pacific Ocean is radiated, 392 00:28:07.759 --> 00:28:11.720 So stop eating fish from the Pacific Ocean. Most of 393 00:28:11.759 --> 00:28:16.880 the fish comes from China and Japan and Korea and Thailand, 394 00:28:17.079 --> 00:28:23.000 and it's all radiated. Get your fish from the Atlantic. 395 00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:29.359 Get your fish from Norway, Norwegian, get your fish from Iceland, Icelandic, 396 00:28:29.799 --> 00:28:33.200 get it from the Mediterranean. Just don't get it from 397 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:39.640 the Pacific. Stop eating fish from the Pacific Ocean. It's 398 00:28:39.680 --> 00:28:45.400 an environmental radiation. If you eat radiated fish, you're radiating 399 00:28:45.440 --> 00:28:50.680 your body. If you want to avoid cancer, stop eating 400 00:28:51.119 --> 00:28:54.839 fish from the Pacific Oceans.
