Are there pros and cons to using it?   ·       NAD exists inside the body and is necessary for the body to do what it needs. ·       It is the building blocks that the body creates or recycles and then gets into the cell. Without NAD, the body doesn't know how to break it down and get it into the cells. To communicate with the body, we need to communicate in its cascade of responses and have the body figure out what it needs to do.  ·       NAD is the result of the end process of something; the result and the end of it would be fill-in-the-blank. ·       The problem with supplementing on NAD precursor, NAD building blocks, is that it has a hierarchy of what organ they meet first and what organ the body prioritizes. ·       NAD precursor building blocks to methyl groups are interchangeable so it would be good. Most of the energy will stay in the liver, while the rest will go to muscles, the heart, and the brain.   ·       The most important details in this text are that it is important to have NAD precursors absorbed directly into the skin and taken by the skin. NAD is more like potential energy than potential energy.   [19:29] The Look of Skin and Why Skin Health Matters  ·       Auto luminescence in the skin can be used to infer the person's health; in general, the skin signals sexual vibrancy in youth as we grow older past that point. If these organs are not functioning correctly, it can affect our skin's appearance, such as acne, collagen production, etc.  ·       When we grow, the skin becomes more and more a protective organ, more and more an organ that is more like a barrier, more like taking the brunt of our exposure to environmental stressors, such as UV, pollution, and EMF. This can lead to hyperpigmentation and senescent cells, malfunctioning cells that can become cancerous and dangerous.   ·       Zombie cells are troublemakers because they infect other cells, don't contribute to the organism, and only create inflammation. It contributes to whole-body aging, as the skin is one of the organs exposed to the environment.   ·   Aging is a snowball, where in the beginning, we are creating damage to the skin and aging in the skin, but it eventually comes back to bite us.   [26:05] The Mechanism Between the Skin and The Hypothalamus Pituitary  ·       The skin is directly connected to the hypothalamus-pituitary axis, which is responsible for relaying environmental stressors. ·       Senescence cells, melanocytes, pigment-creating cells, immune cells, and cells are our blood cells in the skin, or the cells around our blood vessels, creating inflammation.  ·       When there is a big disruption in the body, these senescence cells inflame to send inflammation markers back to the brain. This is not supposed to happen if the body is healthy and youthful.   ·       The most important details in this text are the disruption in hormone signaling and inflammation in the brain, which can lead to brain fog, impaired decision-making, and decision fatigue. [33:32] Healthy Metabolism and What You Should Notice in the Skin ·     Skin tags signify that we are in an anabolic state, which can lead to type two diabetes. If someone has skin tags, it is a sign that they are too much in mTOR, so they should see a doctor. ·       The most important details in this text are that dark circles are caused by glycation or AGS end products. AGS is a reaction that we get from consuming sugar, and they disrupt the function of proteins in the skin and break them out. ·       This leads to the accumulation of wrinkles, which is caused by the inability of the skin to repair the movement of collagen, which is like a dry rubber. The more rigid the skin, the more wrinkles we'll see.   ·       The most important details in this text are that skin rigidity is caused by glycation, and the more rigid the skin is, the more glycation or AGS have wreaked havoc on the skin. ·   This causes the skin to become thinner and lose its structure, leading to dark circles and puffiness. Additionally, the ratio of AEGs, the skin cells or proteins, is slightly higher, which is how puffiness is created. [40:15] Loose skin after weight loss? Is there a way to tighten it?  ·       Loose skin after pregnancy or weight loss is irreversible, and surgery is necessary to treat it. If it is just loose skin, some things can be done to tighten it, such as micro-needling or inflammation. ·       Intermittent fasting is also a great way to lose weight. ·       Micro-needling involves rolling a micro derma roller on the skin, which releases oxidative stress from the mitochondria and causes low-level inflammation.  ·       Red and near-infrared light is thought to lower inflammation, but the main effect is releasing oxidative stress. ·       People need to understand that they were deprived of nutrients through their weight loss journey and that their ability to mind the P's and Q's mind, the little aspects of nutrition, is limited. [50:35] How may a change in lifestyle help you get rid of acne?   ·       Raw dairy can cause acne because it feeds pee acne bacteria, which is the bacteria that causes acne.  ·       To combat this, consuming more dairy and using probiotics such as serene skin and specific probiotics for skin health is important.  ·       Qualia skin is a supplement for skin health; both are important for skin health in general. ·       We need to eliminate the inflammation associated with acne by using green tea vital serum, which is both anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial. This serum has been designed to prove red light therapy but is also anti-inflammatory. ·       Retinol is bound to biomimetic lipids that normally comprise the skin barrier, making it as strong as a prescription but without any drawbacks like peeling, irritation, or skin irritation. ·       Acne is caused by the inability to drive toxins out of the skin due to less lymphatic movement and accumulating layers of skin. When stressed, retinol can make the skin irritated or flaky. AND MUCH MORE!

Also, during sleep, your body will store hormones and burn fat. Sleep will let you make better decisions for the next day. When you're sleep-deprived, your ability to make good decisions goes out the window. REM sleep is recharging your brain, and it allows us to make good decisions. When the prefrontal cortex is energized and refreshed, we can make great choices throughout the day.  [05:10] Mental Health: What Role Does Sleep Play? If you have ever been chronically sleep-deprived, you know how mentally terrible you feel. When we are not taking care of our mental health, it leads us back to making poor decisions. A lack of sleep can make us irritable, angry, frustrated, and even lead to road rage. Also, with a lack of sleep, your reaction time gets decreased. [11:20] What Is REM Sleep and How Much Do I Need? There are so many factors that go into how much REM sleep you need. 20% – 25% of your sleep should be deep, and the same goes for REM. Sleep is dynamic. You need to figure out how much REM sleep is optimal for you. If you wake up and you feel refreshed, mentally and physically, that's a good sign that you're getting enough REM sleep. [15:00] Why Do We Sleep, Anyway? It’s Great For Your Physical Body! Sleep helps with physical restoration. Growth hormones are released throughout the night. Sleep deprivation will actually impact the man’s testicle size. Devin recommends reading Why We Sleep: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y649387/benazadi-20 Deep sleep happens during the first quarter of the night. During deep sleep, your body is cleaning the cells. When you're not getting enough sleep, that throws off your insulin which leads to food cravings and food addiction. [18:30] You’re Not Getting Quality Sleep. That’s A Problem For Your Cortisol.    Cortisol naturally should be highest in the morning. When you’re not getting enough sleep, your cortisol levels will stay high. If you’re not getting quality sleep, hormones are dysregulated. Then, your blood sugar will go all over the place. So, you crave sugar! When glucose goes up, ketones go down. [21:20] Caffeine’s Surprising Connection To Sleep Problems Caffeine blocks the adenosine receptors. The more caffeine you drink, the less you are letting your body rest. Caffeine gets in the way of getting quality sleep. When you’re not getting quality sleep, you’re in sleep debt. Plus, caffeine will dysregulate your circadian rhythm. People metabolize caffeine at different rates in different ways. [27:45] Sleep Tips: Create A Bedtime Buffer Between Day and Night Having a buffer of time between your day and your night is very important. The most important transition of the day is the transition from your actual day to the night. When you have a buffer, then you won’t bring your stress to bed. Taking a walk is a great buffer. You can also do a hobby as a buffer like playing music, learning something, or reading. [34:00] Why Eating Before Bedtime Is Actually A Bad Idea   Your body doesn’t want food right before bed. You shouldn’t eat three to four hours before bedtime. However, it also depends on how fast you metabolize. Eating late will absolutely affect your sleep. Make sure to go to sleep in a fasted state. It’s challenging for busy people. However, it’s something that you can work on every day. [36:00] How To Optimize REM Sleep and Deep Sleep Incline sleeping can improve deep sleep. Sleeping on a 5 to 7-degree incline has been found to increase glymphatic drainage. It's not so much what you do. It's what you don't do. For instance, don’t eat! Also, don’t take vitamin D before bed. Sleeping in a cold room is great for deep sleep.

It is recommended to look at the ingredients of products. [21:09] How to Encourage Your Kids to Live a Healthier Lifestyle Parents shouldn't push their agenda on anyone. Instead, they should model good behavior and habits. Keto is only for some. Families should take into consideration if it's applicable or if there are members of the family have certain medical conditions. [30:17] Avoid These Ingredients At All Costs If You Are Doing Keto Any sugar is still sugar. It's best to use the least amount of sugar to make food rather than artificial sweetener. Gums and seed oils are ingredients that go through several chemical processes with deodorizers, which are bad for a person's health. Americans have a sweeter-pro palette due to many foods containing so many sugars, which makes them addictive. Grass-fed meats, pastured chickens, and eggs are cost-prohibitive for most people, but it is a better alternative for people and the Earth. [47:55] The Surprising Health Benefits of Laughter Changing your diet to a low-carb way of eating can improve brain chemistry. Oxytocin is a type of Endorphin produced from laughter and joy that makes a person healthier. Protect your space and boundaries by removing toxic people from your environment, as it affects your actions and results. Negative emotions come from things we don't like or don't expect, and you will experience them from time to time. What's important is changing your emotional response to things. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr Jay T. Wiles. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer at Hanu Health. Dr Jay is also a prominent expert in mental health optimization, HRV, and biofeedback.  Dr Jay is a clinical health and performance psychologist. He has a master's degree in clinical therapy and then went on to his doctoral degree in clinical psychology. When he was in his residency, he and his co-workers were exposed to a toxic black mold. This led him to be more interested in health, wellness, and integrative holistic health.  Since then, his residency in the Department of Veteran Affairs grew his desire to study heart rate variability and biofeedback and how it relates to Nervous System Monitoring and functioning.  In 2018, Dr Jay launched his consulting company, which is utilized by elite athletes, high-performance executives, and CEOs to understand data from wearables while learning how to manage their nervous systems using tools and procedures.  His firm, Hanu, was founded in 2021. It is a digital mental health platform that uses wearable technology to track changes in the human stress response. They then train resilience through various techniques.   In this episode, Dr Jay speaks about heart rate variability and its relation to the nervous system. Dr Jay talks about how to gauge parasympathetic balance. Tune in as we chat about Heart Rate Variability, Nervous System, Stress, Parasympathetic Balance, measuring HRV, Pre-Meal Breathwork Sessions, and many more. Get your Hanu Health device, 20% off!

Don’t Worry. Nervous System is Adapting!  -       Heart rate and heart rate variability are not the same things. We may acquire a decent insight by evaluating both of them. -       Heart rate variability is similar to examining heart rate through a microscope. -       The heart does not beat to the beat of a metronome. In reality, it rapidly accelerates and decelerates. -       Heart rate variability examines temporal variations or variance, which is the difference in time between each succeeding heartbeat. -       Increased Heart Rate Variability indicates that the nervous system is adaptable; it can assimilate information within its surroundings and adjust. [14:17] Stress is Not Bad, Just Be Adaptable and Regulate Your Nervous System  -       Remember that HRV as a metric does not often behave the same way as many other metrics that serve as the normative basis of comparison. - Several conflicting elements contribute to HRV being what it is. When we compare two people's heart rate variability, it's like comparing apples and oranges. -       A decrease in heart rate variability indicates that the nervous system is too busy and is having a tough time changing and adapting to its surroundings. -       If we are not regulating our nervous system response, as seen by a reduction in heart rate variability, it undoubtedly aggravates any other forms of physiological abnormalities. [19:20] What Is the Best Way to Gauge the Parasympathetic Balance?  -       There are other methods available, but they are often more intrusive. -       Another approach would be to examine general brainwave functioning and changes in brainwave states. -       We have so much evidence in the scientific literature that heart rate variability is now the single best non-invasive technique to have a proxy for nervous system functioning and balance. -       Many people experience nervous system assaults throughout the day, increasing over time. If they are unaware of what is going on, and especially if they are not managing their reaction at that period, we observe the emergence of a host of various mental and physical health problems. -       What we can truly do is train our neurological systems to behave in a more adaptable manner, which will make us happier. [30:17] Using the Device to Measure HRV? Look At the Stress Resiliency Number  -       The Stress Resiliency Number is a 0 to 100 number that takes all of your data and plots it on a 0 to 100 scale. -       If you don’t understand how to interpret HRV, Stress Resiliency Number is a great number to look at. -       Your goal is to get yourself above that 80 to 100 thresholds, which is like our green zone. -       As the HRV goes down, so does your Stress Resiliency Number. [41:59] Digest Your Meal Better, Do A Pre-Meal Breathwork Session  -       It's a biofeedback session to help stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system and the vagus nerve prior to a meal. -       If we go into a meal and eat in a sympathetically driven state, it will cause immense dysbiosis and dysregulation of the gut. -       Do a very short practice, 60 seconds to two minutes of a breathwork session that we call pre-meal. And we also do it post-meal to start that process. -       When people do the breathwork session, their meal does not have nearly as much of an input influence on the metabolically, so we do not see significant amounts of blood sugar rise. Plus, people's nervous system recovers quickly. -       It is imperative to do something parasympathetically stimulating or stimulating our vagus nerve before and after eating. [59:09] Having A Bad Performance Anxiety? Calm Down, Focus and Work to Increase Your HRV -       One major issue that people have is experiencing bad performance anxiety during biofeedback sessions, which causes them to feel agitated and lowers their HRV. -       Don't be discouraged; this is an excellent learning opportunity for you. Address and work on the problem. -       Any upward direct movement is beneficial since it indicates that the nervous system is actively engaged. But what we want to do is gradually raise it over time. -       Work to figure out where you are, and then just go forward. Simply strive to improve by 1% every day, just as you would in any other aspect of your life. AND MUCH MORE!

She felt sad and depressed as a stay-at-home mom.  Tara started weightlifting because the gym by her house only had weights and treadmills.  After lifting weights for eight months, Tara looked exactly the same. So, she decided to switch her nutrition – she went from 40% body fat to 11% body fat.  Then, Tara found keto. She felt healthy in both her mind and her body.  [11:20] The Discomfort That You Have To Go Through Is Temporary The life of your dreams is a life of alignment with yourself and your authentic self. Exercising and diet is a temporary stressor.  You aren’t going to be stressed forever.  The actions required for you to gain muscle is going to suck. However, your body is excellent at retaining muscle. So, the discomfort is temporary.  How you see yourself matters way more than how everyone else sees you.  [17:30] Why You Need To Align With Your Truth Most people know that they need to stop exercising and sleep more. If you have hypothyroidism, you're super inflamed, your CRP is off the charts, and you're exhausted, then yes, you need to sleep more! Training is inflammatory, and if you’re already inflamed, there will be problems.  You already know what you need to do; listen to your body. Trust your feelings.  [21:15] Why You Don’t Want To Be In Ketosis For Your Entire Life If you love being in ketosis, you can stay in it for as long as you want.  If keto doesn’t feel as good as it used to, then you may want to switch things up.  Keto impacts our neurotransmitters and our mental health. When you eat a diet that is mostly fat and protein, your body will favor dopamine production.  When you eat a diet that's mostly carbs and protein, you will favor serotonin production.  If you're not eating carbs, you're not going to favor serotonin production as much.  One of the reasons you should carb cycle is to improve your emotions and mood.  [31:20] Guess What? Insulin Isn’t The Enemy!  If you don’t have high blood sugar, then insulin isn’t the enemy. Insulin is an energy shuttling hormone. It takes glucose and places it in our bodies.  We can store anywhere from 350 up to 800 grams of carbohydrates in our liver and muscles.  Athletes can eat a lot of carbohydrates and not be obese because of the energy they are using.  If you aren’t exercising, your body will store carbohydrates as fat storage.  [36:00] Tara Always Trains When She Is Fasted – Here’s Why Tara always trains fasted; it’s great for your metabolism. If you are healthy, you should be able to train fasted in the morning. If you can’t train fasted, then you have some work to do with your blood sugar regulation.  Tara will thrive off of adrenaline during a fasted workout. Eating will bring your adrenaline down.  [39:20] Adrenals and Salt: The Importance of Sodium On Keto If you don't have enough salt on keto, your kidneys will excrete aldosterone, and then you'll start to have high adrenaline and high cortisol long-term. Rushing women syndrome is a hallmark of adrenal stress.  If you’re not okay with sitting still and being calm, then you have adrenal stress.  Also, if you feel overwhelmed, then you have adrenal fatigue.  So, make sure to monitor your salt intake.  [43:55] Are You Scared of Carbs? How To Address Carbophobia  We have to foster a healthy mindset around the fact that you're not eating carbs when you're doing keto. Carbs are not going to kill you.  China has an obesity rate of 5 to 6%, they eat more rice than any other country in the world.  In America, we have a 42.4% obesity rate. It’s not just carbs that are making you fat.  Carbohydrates are not inherently bad for us. It’s what happened to our metabolism from sitting all day, overconsumption, and processed foods.  [50:20] When You Should Start Implementing Carbohydrates   During keto, if you don’t feel that great anymore, it’s time to start eating carbs again.  If you’re working out more, you can start using carbohydrates to fuel your body and workouts.  If you’re not sleeping well and have diarrhea, you should introduce carbohydrates again. Being moody is also a sign that you need to add carbohydrates.  AND MUCH MORE!

That greatly impacts what's going on in the digestive tract. -       Lipopolysaccharide is a cell wall component of gram-negative bacteria.  When bacteria break down and die, bits of their cell wall remains, and this LPS can enter your bloodstream and trigger inflammation. -       Gram-negative bacteria are potential indicators of Parkinson's and other diseases. -       A blood test is the easiest way to know if you have high levels of LPS. -       Other than LPS, bacteria produce proteins or peptides, which can cause autoimmune diseases. [14:59] You are Being Killed by Your Immune System Response, Not The Pathogen!  -       When you get an LPS challenge, you can become LPS tolerant. -       It's your immune system response that kills you, not the pathogen itself. -       The more and more traffic that builds up slowly with that LPs, the more problems you start to see. -       Mitohormesis and LPS can both can reprogram macrophages. [24:11] Do You Love Fruits? Eat In the Right Time and Build Your Metabolism  -       When the season arrives and fruit ripens, you need to eat some fruit. -       In this day and age, fruits are always available, and we might always be tempted to eat them. That is something we want to avoid doing. -       The goal is to build that metabolism to introduce fruit. -       There's just everything in moderation. [29:52] Sugar Shift Formula: Helping People into Ketosis and Improve Blood Sugar  -       The sugar shift probiotic formula helps people get into ketosis and improve their blood sugar. -       The result of the clinical trial is that the group taking the formula stabilized their HBA1C while the group that did not continue to rise. -        There was a marked drop in both 90 Day and 80-day marks in the serum lipopolysaccharide. -       In indigenous populations, breastfed babies will carry a specific Bifido and fanta strain, a single colony that trains the immune system. [42:09] How Long Does It Take for the Gut Microbiome to Recover From Taking Antibiotics? -       Microbiome NEVER recovers from a macrolide. -       You have more problems with the resistance that's left behind than you have with antibiotics. -       People don't realize how much antibiotics are in the food supply. -       All pre-packaged convenience food contains anti-enzymatic things.

Avoid highly processed sugars, the leading cause of liver transplants, and highly processed grains and flour. [19:10] Your Body Responds Positively to Diversity in Many Different Areas ·       The human body was made to eat all different things, be it meat or leafy vegetables, to receive a well-balanced diet. ·       The microbiome flourishes when fed different vegetable plants or called alpha diversity. ·       The better the variety you get, be it a protein, fruit, or vegetable source, the better our bodies thrive. [23:01] Movement: Simplest and Most Effective way to Have a Better Functioning Metabolism  ·       People should move their bodies daily in some way, shape, or form.  ·       There is a direct correlation between the time we spend seated and the incidence of all chronic diseases. ·       Brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, gets released with exercise that increases our mental capacity, creativity, and memory. ·       Resistance training significantly impacts working against Age-Dependent Sarcopenia or losing muscles as people grow older. Muscle mass is needed to prevent chronic diseases and for a faster metabolism. [29:05] Optimize Your Sleep. Reset Your Hormones with a Good Night's Sleep ·       The glymphatic system is the system of the brain responsible for flushing out toxins through sleeping or autophagy.  ·  The first few minutes of the morning and some natural sunlight are important to get a good night's sleep.   ·       Do not eat 3 hours before bed, stay away from any devices 2 hours before bed, and have a consistent bedtime. ·       Getting a good night's sleep resets a person's hormones.  [34:41] Get Your Gut Healthy and Optimize the Stress in Your Life Having a healthy gut allows you to optimize your diet while taking care of all the other things. You're optimizing both your movement and your sleeping pattern. ·       According to a 2012 study, the first finding is the people that had very high stress; some of them had an increased risk of dying and comorbidities, while a subset of the group had some protective effect from stress. ·       The practice of breathing and exercise can change a person's physiology.

Today, I am grateful to have here with me, someone who went from a humble beginning as a young immigrant escaping war-torn Iran with his parents, to founding his own company, Patrick Bet-David. Patrick has gained a first-hand understanding of what rags-to-riches means and how it is fueled by freedom and opportunity – the core tenants of the American Dream. Patrick’s amazing story starts with his family immigrating to America when he was 10-years old. His parents fled Iran as refugees during the Iranian revolution and were eventually granted U.S. citizenship. After high school Patrick joined the U.S. military and served in the 101st Airborne before starting a business career in the financial services industry.  After a tenure with a couple of traditional companies, he was inspired to launch PHP Agency Inc., an insurance sales, marketing and distribution company – and did so before he turned 30. PHP is now one of the fastest growing companies in the financial marketplace. Patrick is passionate about shaping the next generation of leaders by teaching thought-provoking perspectives on entrepreneurship and disrupting the traditional approach to a career.  Patrick’s popularity surged and created a buzz in the hearts of entrepreneurs all over the world when The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Seconds, a video he created, accumulated over 30 million views online (It became a book in June 2016: The Life of an Entrepreneur in 90 Pages ). That video and scores of other videos comprise his library of edifying, educational and inspirational content about entrepreneurship – all available at Valuetainment, a media brand he conceived and founded. Valuetainment exists to teach about the fundamentals of entrepreneurship and personal development while inspiring people to break from limiting beliefs or other constraints and achieve their dreams.  It has been referred to as “the best channel for entrepreneurs.” This episode originally aired in May 2020. In this episode, Patrick opens the show diving deep into his story and revealing what it was like to have a relationship with the late, great Kobe Bryant. Patrick explains how the coronavirus pandemic can actually be an opportunity – for instance; his business set a record-breaking month in March. Then, Patrick describes the importance of health for entrepreneurs and why he loves to hire people who have a chip on their shoulder. Stay tuned as Patrick speaks about discipline, writing down your goals, and asking the right questions. Don’t forget to order Patrick’s latest work, Your Next Five Moves.

On the side, Patrick started a YouTube channel. The channel numbers grew to a couple of million subscribers. In the beginning, he would talk about all sorts of things, and it wasn’t practical. He thought about the one word that he knew the most about – it was capitalism and entrepreneurship. The number one word became “entrepreneur.” [04:45] Lessons Learned from Kobe Bryant Kobe and Patrick spent an hour talking about life. He spent fifteen minutes with his son and another fifteen minutes with his wife. Kobe is simple. He has a level of clarity and focus that none of his peers have. What’s the most significant difference between Kobe and Jordan? Jordan never worked as hard as Kobe did. Kobe wasn’t as talented, so he had to work harder. After the interview with Kobe, a relationship started between him and Patrick. Unfortunately, Kobe died before they could start their next endeavors. Watch the interview that Patrick did with Kobe Bryant: Kobe Bryant’s Last Great Interview. [13:45] The Coronavirus is an Opportunity Patrick says his business has increased exponentially because of the coronavirus. Immediately, Patrick converted all of his presentations to Zoom. Because they pivoted quickly, Patrick ended up having an advantage. In March, PHP had a record-breaking month. After researching the virus, Patrick was calm and used his confidence to be there for his team. [19:50] How Important is Prioritizing Health as an Entrepreneur? Twice a week, Patrick hires a yoga instructor to do yoga with his employees. Plus, they also have a fully stocked gym. The bigger the vision, the more energy you require. The more energy you require, the closer attention you need to pay to your health. If you get sick for a week, then you lose momentum. Without energy, Patrick wouldn’t be able to do anything; health is critical. [23:10] Women and Immigrants Have a Chip on Their Shoulder     When Patrick started his insurance company, his focus was on women, Latinos, and millennials. Why? Patrick loves an underdog. 80% of insurance agents are men. So, Patrick wanted to create opportunities for women. Patrick never wants to be the Goliath in any situation. Being the David allows him to look at the blind spot of the Goliath. If you think like a Goliath, then you will be taken down by a David. [27:10] What Does Discipline Mean to You? How do you judge someone’s character? Maybe you judge who someone will marry. Your friends will also be a reflection of who you are. If you have four complainers around you, then you are probably the fifth complainer. Patrick can’t be around someone who makes excuses. The same goes for who you decide to go into business with. It shows what kind of values you have. Patrick cares about people who say what they are going to do, and they do it. Discipline is tough to measure. When someone says something, do you believe they are going to do it? If yes, then they are disciplined. [36:10] What’s Your Why? There are different levels of whys. The first level is survival. Maybe you want to make enough money to move out of your parent’s house. The next level is status. You need to buy something in order to fit in with your peers. It can sound shallow, but it means you’re moving up. The next level is freedom. What would life look like if I had $5,000,000 in the bank? [44:00] Do You Need to Write Your Goals Down? Writing your goals down works for some people, and it means nothing to other people. Patrick is a visual person. He made multiple different vision boards. No two people are driven by the same thing. Test different things out and see what clicks. [47:50] Learn to Ask the Right Questions 99% of the time, people aren’t asking the right questions. If you don’t have a girlfriend, don’t ask what it’s like to be a grandpa. It’s irrelevant. If you don’t have a girlfriend, ask how do I find a woman to be with long-term? Ask a question based on the phase you are at, not in the phase they are at. Ask for strategic steps. AND MUCH MORE!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Michelle Jorgensen. She is an author, speaker, teacher, and holistic dentist. She is a Functional Integrative Dentist (DDS) and a Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath (BCTN). She also has certifications like Therapeutic Nutritional Counselor (TNC) and Certified Nutritional Autoimmune Specialist (CNAS). Dr. Michelle grew up in a family surrounding dentistry as his father is a dentist. She also chose the same path and about 10 years later, she felt very sick. She tried to figure out what was happening, and she discovered that she developed mercury poisoning caused by mercury fillings she drilled out from her patients. As Dr. Michelle was in the process of trying to figure out what to do, the doctor mentioned that it is something that will be hard to get out of if she will continue to inhale it from her patients. She had to do some research in order to know a way to prevent it from being inhaled. She discovered an organization that has a protocol for it and started doing it herself. In this episode, Dr. Michelle discusses about the presence of mercury in the dental industry and its harmful effects on people. She talks about her personal experiences and what she had to go through when she got mercury poisoning. Aside from that, she will also be discussing topics like sleeping problems and their correlation with oxygen or airways.

It wouldn’t show up easily on a hair analysis test. A provocation test can be done to detect mercury in the body as it takes something from the tissue for testing.  The best way to find the kind of Mercury you are dealing with is through a urine test It took a while before Dr. Michelle’s health improved due to Mercury exposure. It’s a slow process of recovery. [11:38] Mercury Poisoning and Its Harmful Effects on the Body Zinc helps in creating stomach acid.  The presence of mercury in the body prevents the creation of stomach acid, hence it’ll be hard to digest food and absorb the nutrients. No matter what you do, if your stomach can’t create acid, it’ll be hard to break down food. You’ll end up getting malnourished and a lot of problems may arise. Mercury doesn’t affect thyroid function as much as Fluoride.  Fluoride, Iodine, Bromine, and Chloride may have an effect and interfere with thyroid hormone activation. Mercury is like a bully that has an effect against everything. A baby can inherit the Mercury that exists in their mom’s body or tissues. It detoxes into the baby.  One’s body works differently than the others. Some are experiencing Methylation issues or Methylation variations that enable the body to determine whether to keep or throw something. [18:41] What to Do When You Have Issues with your Dental Fillings? If you’re having a Mercury issue with your fillings, you have to get it removed safely. You shouldn’t just remove them unsafely from a regular dentist.  It’s better to let it be than have it removed unsafely. Removing it unsafely is giving a risk of much bigger mercury exposure than leaving them be. [25:40] How Do Oxygenation and Airway Issues Affect a Person's Sleep? At least 75% of people have airway obstruction, however, it isn’t entirely sleep apnea. Oxygen is needed in the blood as the blood takes it to every single cell in the body. If you’re not getting enough oxygen, your blood won’t have much oxygen. If you have high blood pressure that you can’t figure out what the cause is, it might be due to low oxygenation and airway issues when you’re sleeping.  Oura ring can help become an indicator of your oxygen saturation. When a person wakes up because they need to go to the bathroom, they are already awake at the time. The body has a hormone that prevents oneself from the need to go to the bathroom, so if you have this urge, then you’re already awake the moment you felt it. A cone beam CT scan is one of the things that can help you in checking your airway. It will help determine what’s causing the lack of sleep in a person. It needs to be a Cone Beam CT scan full volume or a larger volume for this. Gum recession, worn-out front teeth, bumps of bone under the tongue from squeezing and clenching to flatten the tongue and open up the airway, etc. are signs that you need to pay attention to. [40:25] Possible Solutions and the Things that Dr. Michelle Recommends One of the solutions you could do is to get a sleep study, check what’s currently happening, etc. The tongue position could be one of your issues. You may have a tongue tie that can be solved by Myofunctional Exercises and tongue tie release. Dr. Michelle Jorgensen also recommends going with a myofunctional therapist.  AND MUCH MORE!

Improve Your Environment to Get Rid of Sleep Interrupters  -       To have a good sleep, you need to eliminate or manage the amount of light in your room.  -       Your circadian clock will be disrupted if you're not managing light properly. Start dimming the lights in your house or create some ambient lighting so you can see where you're going. -       You can use red light bulbs that help as well. Some people will put on some blue light bulbs and turn those on. -        Use blue light-blocking glasses. Pick one of these and try to manage darkness again about 90 minutes before your target bedtime. -       You need to check the temperature. It is advisable to sleep in a chilly place to have a good sleep. -       Boost your serotonin and get better sleep. Anything you can do to increase your serotonin will improve your sleep.  [21:58] Lack of Sleep? You Should Enhance Your Sleeping Schedule!  -       To optimize your sleeping schedule, you need to wire genetically to wake up with light.  -       Light is better than just being jarred awake with some form of alarm in raising the temperature. -       You can use melatonin which is good for falling asleep. It's good for triggering the hormonal cascade we want for deep sleep. -       You can power through that target bedtime, get that cortisol response, and your sleep is compromised. That's a good time to use melatonin to help shut your brain down and calm yourself out. -       Dream optimizer is awesome for people that wake up in the middle of the night and want to go back to bed. A couple of sprays will get you another round of sleep.  [31:30] Does Melatonin Really Help You Sleep? Let’s See!  -   Melatonin also helps regulate your body temperature, blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight, and levels of some hormones. -   Your melatonin levels start to rise when it’s dark outside, signaling your body that it’s time to sleep. They then decrease in the morning to promote wakefulness when it’s light outside. -   Melatonin also binds to receptors in your body to help you relax. Melatonin’s exact mechanisms are unclear. Research suggests that these processes may help you fall asleep. -   Melatonin is an effective supplement that may help you fall asleep, especially if you have insomnia or jet lag. It may offer other health benefits as well. [39:45] GABA: A Molecule of Chills and A Really Powerful Neurotransmitter -   Insomniacs are about 30% deficient in GABA and there's a genetic component to insomnia.  -       Supplementing with GABA can be powerful. Every form of GABA on the market is tested, and probiotics will produce neurotransmitters. -       When you take GABA, it signals through your gut to your brain that it's there, it's present, because it will not cross the blood-brain barrier. [46:58] Want to Try an Effortless Way to Track Your Sleep? Try Sleep Sensing! -       There is a pattern where your body will try to emphasize deep sleep or REM sleep; now both are happening all the time. - Only when a brain electrode is worn can you obtain reliable sleep tracking data. Pushing your brain that hard allows it to recover faster. The breakthrough Matt uses practically every night is consistently effective, and he has no problems. -       The other cool thing about the breakthrough is that you can play around with the dose. Some people get better results with one scoop, about four grams, and the full dose is two scoops.  AND MUCH MORE!
