00:01 All right I am Dr. Tera Pfarr I am a chiropractor at Brown Family 00:05 Chiropractic and we are excited to start our lecture series off this year dr. 00:11 Rudy Byron of Byron Health and Healing is joining me tonight for anxiety 00:18 remedies for relaxation so this is our first lecture in this location in our 00:26 own clinic so we’re just really excited that I don’t that drive somewhere in the 00:29 sucky cold weather to another location release series so it’s kind of fun just 00:33 to hop on back here and have it all in one place so that’s super awesome little 00:38 things I want to touch on before we start this is a free lecture for anybody 00:43 who wants to come you free community lectures this is funded and hosted by a 00:48 non-profit I started called healthy spines initiative of Wisconsin where 00:52 we’re doing community health outreaches and providing chiropractic screen and 00:56 chiropractic care for low income or people who can’t afford it so if you can 01:00 donate it all I do have a donation bucket over there and a little bit more 01:04 information about my nonprofit you can also visit my website 01:15 http://www.patinsproject.com a 10 do shallow breathe get stressed and you could see 01:55 the shoulders rise in and so throughout the day and as I’m working in my 02:00 stressful busy day I’ve had today and or if a patient comes in frazzled they’re 02:05 late you know I’ve just got stuck at a train take a breath 02:10 breathe in through your nose out through your mouth 02:13 fill those lungs because it’s amazing with just oxygenating your body can do 02:19 for your mind body and spirit so as we know our breath is very much tied to how 02:25 we feel and so if we feel stressed we will notice that our breath becomes very 02:31 shallow we notice and if we notice we are feeling nice and relaxed we breathe 02:37 like a sleeping baby that kind of billowy puffy breath 02:41 through our abdomen right you’ve seen those babies sleep and their abdomens 02:45 rise and fall so again just take a moment center yourself and get a sense 02:50 of if you are in this relaxed state or not and if you are not relaxed a little 02:56 bit more take some big deep breaths because as you try to understand this 03:01 information we’re about to discuss tonight into your knowledge base the 03:05 more relaxed you are and the more you incorporate deep breathing the more it 03:10 will integrate into your memory so as we before we talk about stress and anxiety 03:15 the goal is to be relaxed and understand a better way to deal with it 03:20 because we know that stress if unchecked for long periods of time can cause 03:25 significant contributions to your symptoms in your conditions now there’s 03:30 a whole host of issues and us as primary care physicians see it every day so many 03:35 of them can be reduced or possibly reversed if we can get proper management 03:40 of that stress factor so what is stress we throw around that word all the time 03:46 of what does it really mean with dr. hans selye a that defined it as the 03:53 nonspecific response of the body to any demand for change now the first thing to 04:00 understand that it says it is a non specific response which means that is 04:05 not the same thing that happens every single time you get stressed for all 04:10 kinds of stress and that action can happen whenever your body perceives a 04:15 demand for change so you might be thinking hmmm this is still hard for me 04:20 to grasp my goal is to make sure that this is not 04:23 a stressful lecture for you guys so let’s look at this definition in another 04:28 way when your body has to respond to a demand for change meaning whenever you 04:35 feel that there’s a need for change your body has to go through some sort of 04:40 stress effect and you might be feeling a little overwhelmed right now because as 04:45 we look at this definition you might think my goodness isn’t life all about 04:50 change so is it that I’m doomed to be stressed all the time because I’m always 04:55 going to be demanded for change of something whether it is for my boss my 05:01 job my spouse my children my finances they always require change constantly 05:07 through life but please have hope there are solutions that we’re going to talk 05:11 about today so the first thing I want to explore with you is for you to 05:16 understand that it’s not just one type of stress that stress as we use it can 05:22 mean dis dis stress and distress is something negative right so if you have 05:27 a negative feeling about a situation or let’s say you didn’t get that job or 05:32 that you feel physically bad these are all types of dis stress in the body but 05:39 equally stressful even though we don’t talk about it that way is the demand for 05:43 change for something good in your life so think about getting that job think 05:48 about the stress and anxiety of that trends transition and making sure you’re 05:51 performing on that new position and even though you’re excited to get that 05:55 promotion there’s still some demand for change that your body has to meet to get 06:01 to that next level of that change so remember those two categories so 06:05 whenever you’re in a situation you always have to wonder how is that person 06:10 perceiving that stressful situation so I’m cluing you in on this big factor 06:16 that you have and the power that you have behind this perception of stress 06:20 now we look at that definition and you see it’s really about that demand for 06:25 change right on the body or our expectation because most of the time 06:30 when we are stressing it is some sort of expectation or 06:35 worried that we are boiling around in our brains and our minds or in our 06:39 hearts that caused the physical symptoms right I’ve been through Medical School 06:45 I’ve had the stress of getting through board exams and examinations my gut 06:50 feels it my body feels it my immune system feels it right how many of you 06:55 have gone through a stressful period of time just to finish so you could go on 06:58 vacation and then you get sick right so that shows that there’s the stress 07:02 connection mind-body connection with our perception of stress and how we handle 07:09 in their body so you see you have the ability to really control your world 07:14 based on how you see that world if you as you know it see the world as 07:19 metaphorically the half glass half glass empty then that demand for change will 07:26 increase quite a bit if you’re always just melancholia 07:29 today is gonna be awful you know that demand for stress on the body is going 07:34 to be exponential but for those people who have acceptance and compassion they 07:39 will find that they don’t need that demand for change that they will live 07:43 and they will give but they don’t always expect something so you you will find 07:50 that that the number of expectations you have likely relate to the amount of 07:56 stress you have in your life so this does not mean to lower your expectations 08:00 or your standards that’s not what I mean at all but I want you to continue to go 08:05 for your best in life but you have to have the expectation that it’s always 08:10 going to work out for me we know that it doesn’t always do that 08:13 right so having that acceptance that okay this is a situation I’m in this is 08:19 all I can do about it how can we move on and move forward from this situation and 08:23 that can help reduce the stress impact on the physical body so we’ve found that 08:29 the way you see the world is really how you’re going to feel have you ever been 08:34 around those people that just everything is awful and then you can just feel that 08:39 energy that they have they see the world it’s against them right and we don’t 08:45 want to feel that way so that’s what we’re gonna discuss today and the way 08:48 you see that world and how you feel will return well determine the body’s demand 08:54 for those changes so incorporating things like tolerance acceptance and 08:59 compassion all these things reduce your expectations and help reduce the 09:05 suffering related to those expectations that didn’t pan out the way you’ve 09:09 thought so let me give you a little example of this let’s imagine a scenario 09:15 when you’re sitting on a plane my mom’s in Costa Rica right now I sure 09:20 wish I was in Costa Rica right now so this I I fly quite frequently I like to 09:26 travel but imagine you’re on a plane at night and I love being on a plane at 09:31 night especially when you’re passing over the lights of the city you can 09:35 adjust it a little bit if you need to passing over the lights of the city and 09:40 you see all those twinkling lights and those little cars as you you drive and 09:45 move and I think wow what a wonderful world we live in and I get very 09:51 enlightened experiencing and just understanding my place within the 09:54 universe when I’m flying over big cities and seeing all the little life of below 09:59 me now I find that very grounding I find it very peaceful and I it kind of puts 10:04 things into perspective for me and then I look over at some of the people that 10:08 are sitting around me and I might see a young man gripping his arm dressed 10:12 pantsing just you can see his whole body is tense and you can know he’s thinking 10:17 oh my gosh are we going to die right now right and you can see it in his face his 10:22 whole facial structure his body his breath pattern show that he is in fear 10:28 mode and he is looking at that same beautiful scenery that I am seeing but 10:33 he sees it completely different than I do right and because he views it so 10:38 differently he feels that differently and then the body has asked for a demand 10:44 for change for him and then it’s and that is when he decides or 10:48 uses to have that different response on his body now we can choose how we 10:53 perceive our stress more than we think so let’s look at another example because 10:59 because really the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective 11:03 right now I try to make a habit of having some gratitude in my life every 11:09 day I wake up before I put my feet on this earth I say to myself for a few 11:14 minutes what am i grateful for this has been shown to be very very good for you 11:19 so I encourage you guys to start implementing this in your life so I 11:23 might be grateful for my family my husband my beautiful children but 11:28 sometimes I’m just grateful for my warm fuzzy blanket I’m rafting or the clean 11:32 air and breathing or you know the coffee that’s brewing in in the downstairs 11:38 kitchen at that moment something like a fuzzy carpet I get a walk on something 11:42 that may not be huge or divine but something that I’m just happy to have in 11:47 my life in that moment and if I really flood myself with all these positive 11:52 thoughts then I decided I’m going to start that day and I’m going to be happy 11:57 because look I’m looking at all the things I have to be grateful for in that 12:01 moment then I step out of my bed I walk towards the bathroom and I stub my big 12:07 toe on the corner of the wall right and in that moment I say well I stubbed my 12:13 toe but you know what it’s not a big deal I have so many other things to be 12:17 grateful for so let’s move on with my day and be happy and it kind of just 12:21 happens like that right now I’m going to describe another scenario for you that’s 12:25 very common in my life as well because I’m not perfect but when I look at the 12:30 world as something of a threat like what is gonna happen that day or what do I 12:34 have to get done that day or oh my goodness there are so many things I have 12:39 to do and so little time so those kinds of morning’s that I wake up to the alarm 12:44 screaming at me and suddenly this list of things goes off in my brain and that 12:48 all the things I need to accomplish that day kind of like this morning when I 12:52 woke up to do this whole lecture and then I would 12:55 to feel get all those feelings that of things I haven’t done and need to do 13:01 where do I need to go and get the kids ready for school and then I get into 13:05 this fear state right and when I get into this fear state I pop out of my bed 13:11 I jumped towards the bathroom because I’m already running late and I stub my 13:14 toe on the wall and then I feel like the world is against me and I’m gonna have a 13:18 bad day and I have all these things to accomplish and this is just the last 13:22 thing I need to start my day off with right so you can see how how you are 13:28 feeling can be translated in your your emotions and how you act for that day 13:34 it’s almost like my emotions leading up to that moment fed into me reacting to 13:38 that stubbed toe and so you really do have that power to change so many things 13:44 in your life by changing your perception just clouding your minds with positive 13:49 thoughts so you see the world a little differently as opposed to flooding it 13:54 with those negative thoughts so now let’s talk a little bit more about the 13:58 science and what kind of happens in the body because we do understand that 14:02 there’s a connection in the way we behave and to the way that our body 14:06 behaves so in our body there’s this gland that sits right above the kidney 14:11 it’s about a walnut size plant called your adrenal glands does anybody heard 14:14 of your adrenal gland some of my patients do yeah we’ve talked about it 14:18 so your adrenal glands have two parts the outer shell and the inner core now 14:24 the outer shell secretes or releases two key hormones that I want to talk about 14:29 cortisol and DHEA and the inner core releases two that you may know about 14:36 already norepinephrine and epinephrine you guys heard of those terms now you 14:41 might have heard them like the muse of the world of adrenaline have you heard 14:46 of the adrenaline rush and remember the base of that word is a dream 14:51 adrenaline adrenal so adrenaline or the adrenal glands activate when your body 14:57 perceives any sort of stress so historically it was a tiger right we 15:02 always talk about this tiger situation you see that Tiger your eyes see the 15:06 tiger your brain perceives that tiger it says oh no there is fear I have fear for 15:12 potential danger I must change my situation to get myself out of that 15:16 situation and it sends a signal so my brain and eyes perceive this it’s a 15:21 signal down to the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands and start to release 15:25 these hormones of survival in order to set aside the caste cascade of 15:30 everything else we must survive this moment right when the adrenals is not 15:35 overly activated from Krissie of stress the adrenal has a chance to function 15:39 normally every single day like we have them they’re not overly used hopefully 15:44 so it does not put out excess levels of these hormones and we can live a long 15:50 normal functioning life so remember that your body is designed to handle a 15:54 certain amount of stress in those situations but if it’s overwhelmed 15:58 constantly with this stress these adrenal systems we have the ability to 16:03 create this dysfunction in the body with the adrenal glands and it is normal to 16:09 have stress in our lives that’s why they’re there that’s why we have these 16:12 glands but the goal is not to have unnecessary stress so cortisol being a 16:19 stress hormone is actually coming out to protect you it does this because it 16:24 perceives that you must need something for the danger that you’re receiving so 16:28 it increases does anybody know what cortisol increases sugar and fat because 16:36 it assumes you need energy to run from that Tiger okay it puts you in rescue 16:42 mode and it works with that adrenaline to make sure that you can run and fight 16:46 and survive that tiger it also tries to soothe the body in a certain way because 16:52 it knows that if it kicks up at this storm in your body to fight the tiger or 16:58 do what it need to do it has a bit ability to calm you down as well it 17:02 directs the immune system and it actually directs all other hormones in 17:07 the body it takes over because the body has decided when your brain perceives 17:12 that stress it sees everything else needs to change to adjust to that 17:16 perceived danger now the opposites for the counterbalance to this 17:20 cortisol is DHEA have any of you heard of that 17:25 Samiha now DJ is another hormone that is released by the outer cortex of the 17:32 adrenal glands and it is what helps counterbalance that cortisol so cortisol 17:36 that stressor spots DHEA we kind of call the anti stress so remember cortisol 17:42 comes out whenever this stress arises and remember it could be that good 17:45 stress of got that job you know or I’m gonna have to work harder to demand for 17:51 that promotion or could it be a bad stress or any demand for a change in our 17:55 normal routine no DHEA once the cortisol comes out helps to counter that effect 18:01 so it is that anti stress hormone and actually it’s linked to anti aging um so 18:07 you can look at the levels of DHEA and the higher the numbers the better you 18:13 can think of it as they haven’t been used up trying to counterbalance the 18:16 cortisol that’s been released constantly and because the cortisol hasn’t come out 18:20 constantly there hasn’t been a ton of perceived stress so it tends to be a 18:25 calming type of hormone now bit of caution I don’t want you all to say Oh 18:29 DHEA is wonderful let me go to a health food store to start taking a ton of DHEA 18:34 because it has anti-aging benefits it doesn’t work out that way we have to 18:39 make sure and respect the body it has a certain balance that we want to achieve 18:44 and we all know that more something is not always better right so you always 18:49 want to make sure that you take a look at these with a qualified health care 18:52 professional to see if having DHEA supplementation is right for you now we 18:57 are constantly bombarded with things like poor sleep in this country noise 19:03 pollution air pollution diet the standard American diet or the 19:08 diet we call it anger sadness poor social relationship Facebook Likes 19:13 someone didn’t like my facebook you know post or whatever nutritional 19:17 deficiencies worry all these things whether they are physical or emotional 19:21 bombard us and the barn bombard our reserves for that demand for change and 19:27 you can see so much of your control has to do with your brain and proceed the 19:33 perception of that stress and how it sees things differently so that your 19:37 adrenal glands have that chance to rest sometime so this is what we’re gonna 19:40 talk about how we perceive that stress depicts whether that brain signals those 19:45 adrenal glands or not because we see what happens when we activate those 19:49 adrenal glands all the time you know we live in a culture of go go go we don’t 19:54 take vacations in America like Europe takes a month off every year you know so 19:58 our level of stress is completely different than it was 100 to 200 years 20:04 ago they didn’t have all this pesticides they spray on the food the air 20:07 pollutants the 40-hour work weeks you know they were out in nature more 20:13 connecting with the earth and it’s not just what we think in terms of burning 20:18 out but let’s look at some specific things when your brain commands your 20:22 adrenals and your adrenal remembers the conductor of all these other functions 20:27 in the body as long as your body is communicating well it tells your brain 20:31 okay this is what we decided based on what you think now this is what happens 20:36 when your dream of lands get activated too often remember we said that it 20:40 increases which ones oh well but what sugar and fat okay so it increases blood 20:51 sugar but it also can break down muscle for glutamine now glutamine is important 20:58 for lining repair so it’s trying to I mean this is a survival mode it’s trying 21:03 to help you with what it anticipates you will need in that state of stress and 21:08 remember it will increase body fat in case you need some storage in case you 21:13 haven’t eaten in a few days because back then it used to be a stress 21:17 response to starvation in case you haven’t so it is anticipating that maybe 21:25 you need that extra fuel for your system to survive those few days if you got 21:30 caught by that tiger and someone’s looking at it for you for a few days it 21:33 gives you everything you need to get to that survival mode until you can rest so 21:40 you may have some extra body fat if you’re constantly in a state of stress 21:45 and this is one of the reason why it’s so hard for people to lose weight when 21:49 they’re constantly in the state of stress and then also breaks down bone 21:53 for calcium now let’s look at this even more I want to see what else happens 21:57 when we’re just constantly in this state of adrenaline rush and go go go well if 22:02 you keep stressing if you keep thinking you need change more help is on the way 22:07 your adrenals will keep giving you what you asked for constantly they’re 22:11 constantly on which is what we see all the time in our practice so it reduces 22:15 your thyroid function it reduces your antibody production these are like 22:20 secret weapons in your immune system that help fight infection so it will 22:23 reduce your overall immunity especially in your guts I love talking 22:28 about the gut we should do a gut classroom your gut is so important to 22:32 your whole immune system and your whole and moon’ system starts to weaken and 22:36 we’ve seen autoimmune diseases very prevalent especially in the Midwest so 22:41 let’s see how those changes affect you for instance if you have prolonged 22:46 storage of fat because your adrenals are always on you can see how that will 22:51 cause weight issues that we have in our country right now 22:54 we can’t deny that right how about blood sugar imbalances at the adrenal glands 22:58 cause when it’s constantly activated blood sugar goes up this can explain why 23:03 we have diabetes and metabolic syndrome and is on the rise in our country how 23:08 about the loss of muscle and the under active thyroid that explains weight gain 23:12 but it also explains how we age much quicker now we injure must easier and we 23:18 have less longevity less good years of life my philosophy I said up right 23:23 today my goal in life is to live long and die short in our country right now 23:29 I’m seeing it constantly we are living short and dying long because of all of 23:34 the chronic issues we’re dealing with with our health and wellness and cancer 23:39 used to be a disease of seniors and we’re starting to see that wearing down 23:43 our bodies even earlier now we talked about the loss of bone and how that 23:48 explains earlier bone diseases we’re seeing and then we all know that when we 23:52 deplete our immune system from stress we get sicker easier so you can see how 23:57 this all works back and forth when your body helped but when you’re buying 24:01 health is better that helps your brain health and your adrenal health but if 24:05 your brain health is better and your perception of stress is better then that 24:09 helps your adrenal glands and can help your overall body so it’s very simple 24:14 when you think about this to start implementing this in your life today 24:19 before you leave here we could be all stressed about the ice storm that’s 24:23 probably coming but we could just take a breath break do the style take a deep 24:27 breath know that if we drive slowly and carefully we can a better chance of 24:34 getting home safely tonight right so what else can we do besides start to 24:39 change this mindset of how we perceive stress sleep is very important 24:45 sleeping seven to nine hours of night and practice relaxation techniques turn 24:49 off the computers turn off the TV that’s over stimulating you know for you’re 24:55 watching a scary movie that’s already sending you in the state of adrenaline 24:58 rush you know I tried to read a book for 20 minutes before I go to bed just to 25:03 kind calm my mind to calm my body and prepare me for that sleep and usually I 25:08 get to a pager I can’t even read anymore so I got to go to bed anyway anyways try 25:12 to write down things and make a to-do list if you’re worried that you won’t 25:16 remember something I mean I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and like oh 25:19 my god do that tomorrow right this I got it email that person you know so start 25:23 to write it down create checklists so you’re not constantly trying to keep it 25:26 in your brain and on that constant state of stress and remember that food is 25:31 information for your rina blends and this is really and it’s 25:36 so it’s really smart to eat breakfast and not those were fine foods like 25:40 processed bagels and cereals and doughnuts but and those are not the 25:45 ideal breakfast because they’re gonna spike your blood sugar and then your 25:47 adrenals are going to respond right but they really work those those kind of 25:52 Penta feeds really work your adrenal glands unnecessarily so eat more fruits 25:56 and vegetables and eat less sweets and sugary drinks how about eating protein 26:01 with each meal to help regulate your blood sugar a little bit more we want to 26:04 limit caffeine and alcohol again because you tend to those tend to act as 26:08 stimulants in the body and tend to overwork the adrenal glands and last but 26:12 not least eat good fats yes I’m telling you to eat fat things like salmon fats 26:18 from nuts and seeds avocados and try to avoid things like fried foods tomorrow’s 26:24 Friday do not go to Friday night fish fry and all those bad fats you can read 26:28 labels if it says trans fats not good and remember how you think and how you 26:36 and feel absolutely determines how your adrenal glands behave long-term so think 26:44 about how adjusting how you perceive that world so you can be in that same 26:49 world but start seeing things differently 26:51 remember I’m hoping that not that you’re not only incorporating that deep 26:56 breathing techniques to help your drina’s in your brain by not seeing such 27:00 a stressful state in the world but you’re actively incorporating daily eye 27:05 things to find peace with yourself and in this world whether you’re doing it 27:09 through tolerance and acceptance and compassion and and to end this I’d like 27:15 for my portion and I like to quote the words of a very relaxed man who lived 27:20 the wonderful age of 100 George Burns he’s a comedian 27:25 anybody know him he said if you ask what the single most important key to 27:30 longevity I would have to say is avoiding worry stress and tension and if 27:37 you didn’t ask me I’d still have to say it so he understood that a big part of 27:42 this health was just happy a different perspective so I hope that 27:46 you have the ability to look at your life make those stressors turn it to 27:50 potential stressors and then no stressors because you have a different 27:54 way of looking at the world look at it look at the way you sleep the way you 27:59 move the way you manage your stress and a way to help yourself with your 28:03 condition or symptoms long-term thank you I’m gonna hand this over to dr. 28:07 Byron he’s gonna get into the nitty-gritty I had the fun card of just 28:12 some fun stuff we get to talk about so come on up hello again everyone I am dr. 28:25 Rudy Byron and I’m the position here at byron health and healing center it’s an 28:31 integrated medical practice it’s a lot of fun 28:35 I’ve been practicing integrative medicine now for about six years prior 28:40 to that practiced as a traditional physician for about twelve years and our 28:47 talked to my of course is centered around anxiety anxiety as you know is a 28:54 very common symptom in our society it’s extremely common it’s one of the most 28:59 common symptoms that I see in my practice so this discussion is very much 29:05 necessary for us as a matter of fact we off we have a huddle myself dr. Brown 29:11 and dr. Farr huddle up at the beginning of the year to discuss what we’re going 29:16 to talk about and primarily those those discussions or the subjects I should say 29:20 stem from what our patients come in with and and anxiety was literally the first 29:26 subject that we thought of that that we would agree upon to talk about first 29:30 because in fact it’s probably the most common symptom that exists I would say 29:36 that’s number one and number two is probably coughing colds right among 29:41 among many other things of course in our practices so anxiety is front and center 29:46 for everyone in this room and in our society well anxiety dr. Park talked a 29:53 bit about the definition xiety essentially anxiety is a mood 29:59 disorder that is a is a response to something our body is responding to 30:06 something so it’s important for us to listen what is our with our body 30:12 responding to when we are driving a car and the engine light comes on how many 30:19 people ignore it right we’re not supposed to ignore that we don’t just 30:24 put tape over the warning light for the engine in the car and keep driving we 30:29 actually stop looking listen write saying do I hear any noise or sounds 30:33 under the under the hood are the brakes working as a car starting right don’t 30:38 have enough gas etc anxiety is real it’s our body’s way of speaking to us there 30:46 are books written about love languages right the love language well what how 30:51 does our body speak to us it speaks to us through our senses and our feelings 30:56 it’s important for us to pay attention to those our body is always right it 31:01 will never guide us in the wrong direction we may not want to listen to 31:05 it but we should definitely pay attention the this talk tonight really 31:14 this presentation is really about the quote unquote human perspective on this 31:19 on this subject mood disorders of course such as anxiety have a direct impact on 31:29 our behavior it causes us to feel impulsive causes us to feel scared as 31:36 dr. dr. farm mentioned earlier it affects our gut right when we’re when 31:40 we’re anxious our body could care less about digesting our food in fact we 31:44 typically cannot digest our food right and walk around with the not type 31:48 feeling in our stomach no thanks for that that meal I’m gonna pass on that it 31:54 affects our cognition our brain function and many of us will come to the doctor 31:58 and say Oh dr. Byron I’m having brain fog right say I can’t concentrate 32:03 so anxiety is literally front and center for us once again it’s an extremely 32:09 common complaint in the office when we talk 32:12 about the human perspective fear of anxiety let’s look at look at this from 32:19 the perspective of our physical being the physical human being there are 32:24 particular glands and organs that express anxiety very well and are kind 32:31 of the chiefs of the of the expression of anxiety for us the Chiefs to make 32:35 sure that warning light is lit for us on our quote-unquote human dashboard and 32:42 what are those organs and glands well we’re gonna we’re going to choose just a 32:46 couple tonight the first organ is act firstly we will talk about a gland 32:51 special gland that has a very important role with respect to anxiety that gland 32:59 is the thyroid gland the thyroid gland is called the gland of our emotions and 33:07 when we talk about emotions we’re talking about e – motion everybody said 33:14 with me E – motion that’s energy in motion energy 33:20 in motion our bodies are in part electrical beings we’re wearing part 33:26 electrical beings therefore we need energy we need electricity if the 33:30 voltage is low in our bodies our body will sound the alarm the engine light 33:35 will come on if our body has too much voltage if there’s a power surge again 33:40 the engine light will come on and say ok maybe we ought to go to the car dealer 33:45 and have them take a take a look at this the thyroid gland the thyroid gland is a 33:51 gland that’s located in our neck and it looks like a butterfly right flies like 33:58 a butterfly stings like a bee right butterfly when the butterflies flapping 34:03 its wings just right that butterfly is gracefully moving throughout its 34:08 environment the butterfly is very slow and sluggish we might say that butterfly 34:13 is sick a butterfly when it has a slow motion that’s indicative of 34:20 quote-unquote high ball thyroidism luggage thyroid low-voltage not enough 34:26 thyroid electricity electrical energy thyroid hormone electrical energy being 34:30 transmitted throughout the body the body will then say hey we don’t like this 34:35 feeling that’s like the car not having enough voltage the car is gonna not it’s 34:40 gonna shake a little bit not enough electricity what do we do we press on 34:43 the gas pedal a little bit you know let’s give it some more gas right our 34:47 body is sending us a signal our body will say oh I’m anxious I’m anxious some 34:51 why am i anxious perhaps it’s because I don’t have enough energy by ROI gland 34:57 again looks like what again a butterflies located in our neck there 35:02 there a special butterfly called the monarch butterfly correct monarch 35:08 butterfly I mean people know about monarch butterflies there are large 35:12 butterflies very very beautiful I mean people know they’re in the midst of 35:16 potentially becoming extinct they’re potentially becoming extinct why anybody 35:24 know that’s the pesticides that’s exactly right 35:29 they’re they they live their environment their primary environment is the 35:34 milkweed tree the milk question say tree but the milkweed and milkweed is dying 35:41 wise milkweed dying because of chemicals pesticides harmful pesticides and 35:47 chemicals that are unfortunately affecting the monarch butterflies 35:51 environment living environment well again our thyroid gland is what do we 35:56 say the gland of our emotions it looks just like a butterfly and in fact it is 36:02 susceptible to harmful chemicals why our thyroid gland is a reservoir of 36:09 electricity it holds electricity it stores 36:13 electricity here that means it has a highly negative charged negative in this 36:17 term means positive okay like negative means good I should say so it holds a 36:22 lot of electricity here negative charge attracts what kind of charge positive 36:28 negative charge attracts positive charges 99% of these toxins pesticides 36:35 herbicides environmental toxins toxic heavy metals 36:38 etc are positively charged that’s why if we get exposed to radiation what’s the 36:45 first land to go the thyroid gland right because the thyroid gland is literally 36:51 absorbing these toxins and if I Roy gland absorbs these toxins that sends us 36:56 a signal it’s not going to just sit back and take it it’s going to send us a 36:59 signal our voltage will go down and the dashboard light comes on says hey I’m 37:07 anxious something’s wrong you better I’m I don’t feel good I can’t sleep I can’t 37:11 eat I start gaining weight because I’m not I don’t have enough energy in motion 37:17 throughout the body got it so my emotions become affected 37:22 understood the there is a particular organ that is the chief of our emotions 37:36 there’s a particular organ that is the chief of our emotions we talked about a 37:40 gland that is the chief of our emotions there’s an organ the corollary organ 37:45 that plays that role in the body anybody know what that organ is want to take a 37:48 guess the I didn’t either that the brain very good guess however and the organ is 37:59 the liver the organ is the liver I’m surprising the ones that the heart right 38:04 emotions energy in motion but guess what the livers job is to protect the heart 38:11 this is primary chief job to protect the heart the liver the liver what’s the 38:18 root word of liver that shouldn’t be too hard 38:20 say it together very good how do we know we are alive how do we know we’re living 38:29 because we sense that we have a life we’re breathing we can touch feel 38:35 understood we sense we have these senses that we 38:39 are in fact limbering okay we’re living we have that sense we have sensations 38:45 the liver literally has it’s all finale and it will speak to us it will 38:52 say hey this is what’s going on that’s what’s going on deliver what’s special 38:57 about the liver the liver is a reservoir for especially our negative emotions 39:05 it holds positive emotions too but it’s especially important to know that it’s 39:09 the seat of our negative emotions so some of those negative emotions that dr. 39:14 Farr mentioned such as fear worry impulsivity phobias they get stored in 39:24 the liver the liver will hold them why because the liver is the number-one 39:30 organ of detoxification in the body and it’s not just detoxifying physical 39:37 substances it detoxifies and or stores or holes negative emotions as well and 39:44 that’s important to understand because when we’re for example going through a 39:51 quote-unquote detox detoxification many of us would begin to feel things that we 39:56 said oh my gosh where in the heck did that come from I haven’t felt that in a 39:59 long time where this headache this headache is occurring what the heck is 40:02 going on and and we may sometimes get angry be short-tempered with people feel 40:07 irritable etc that’s because the liver is releasing a lot of these negative 40:13 emotions as we undergo what we think is a physical detox to clean us out when 40:24 the liver gets exposed to quote-unquote toxins and or and or emotional negative 40:32 energy the liver will do its best it’s going to do its best to either detoxify 40:38 it if they can or if the liver gets tired because we’ve been eating too much 40:41 junk in the trunk liver says I’ve had enough liver has the 40:45 best friend his best friend is exactly what dr. Tara told you it was and that 40:51 liver delivers best friend is the adrenal glands the adrenal glands so 40:58 when the liver is struggling we’re exposed to really significant 41:02 stressors and Liber stick sends out a signal for anxiety says hey you get you 41:08 know get dr. pyar an anxious about this situation there’s a saber-toothed tiger 41:13 chasing him you shouldn’t just be up here chillin right eating bonbons get 41:17 him stressed get him moving okay the liver will then call upon his buddy 41:23 the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands will send adrenal in to the liver 41:29 to stop up any of that extra stress that the liver couldn’t handle why why would 41:35 the liver do that why would the liver call upon help from the adrenal glands 41:39 to send adrenaline in that scenario because we have to protect the heart and 41:44 the brain from junk in the trunk the body will do any and everything it can 41:49 to support us to keep us going to keep us alive so that we can fulfill the 41:55 purposes for which we are presently here on this planet so it’s important to 42:01 understand that these organs are working and tandem these organs and glands are 42:08 working in tandem to try to keep us healthy to keep our heart functioning 42:12 fully and they will continue to send signals to us to say hey something’s up 42:17 what are some of these quote unquote toxins that can have a direct impact on 42:24 the liver liver gets tired because it’s constantly detoxifying right besides has 42:31 to detoxify food environmental toxins household cleaning agents you know air 42:36 poor air rock driving behind a semi diesel truck that’s spewing out you know 42:42 it’s black smoke so one of the most common toxins that I see in the office 42:50 extremely common that has a direct impact on anxiety is copper toxicity 42:55 that is an excessive amount high amount of copper most people have never heard 43:01 of that before how many people have heard of copper toxicity very good about 43:06 half the half the hands came up in this room that is that is by far and away one 43:11 of the most reasons I see for anxiety in my office 43:16 what what’s the deal with copper copper is a mineral it’s a metal that is that 43:24 comes from the earth our body needs copper to utilize for the conduction of 43:31 electricity just like we have copper wire coming out of these electrical 43:35 ports copper wire is conducting electricity to our electronic devices 43:40 giving us power correct our body uses copper in the same way to conduct energy 43:45 again conducting energy because we need that copper is stored where and uh liver 43:52 again the all-important liver if for many reasons we get too much copper 43:59 stored in the body and there are many reasons for that if we get too much 44:03 copper stored in the body that copper will leak out either our body says hey 44:08 you got to go so we’re going to try to detox it out copper typically goes out 44:12 through our bowels in the urine and or hair or skin if our body is not able to 44:18 detoxify very well because we’re under quote-unquote stress then the body shuts 44:23 down the process of detoxification and causes that copper to go deep it will 44:29 dive deep into tissues and it will stay there but does our body like extra 44:34 copper floating around no if we put extra copper in that core that goes to 44:40 our electronic devices such as our cool iPads and iPhones what happens to that 44:45 computer or that fall when we turn it on with extra copper wire and then it blows 44:50 up right it’ll short-circuit that’s exactly what it does in our bodies it 44:55 goes to special tissues and special organs and literally blows them up 45:00 copper is a conductor of what electricity so it likes highly 45:07 electrical places in the body specifically places like the brain the 45:14 guts among many other places including female organs which we’re not going to 45:21 talk about today we’ll save that for another lecture the the point 45:25 here is that copper is feminine copper is a feminine mineral our females more 45:32 emotional than men yes so a woman will come in and say dr. Byron I don’t know 45:37 what’s going on but this PMS my husband just says you know I gotta I gotta go 45:42 see somebody so I’m coming to see you dr. B anxiety nervousness copper is 45:48 stimulating too much electrical power surge going to the emotional centers of 45:53 the body boom people blow up men and women by the way 45:57 I mean it just pick on our ladies so copper toxicity is a major major source 46:03 that most people are not familiar with it’s very common and very easily treated 46:09 and addressed the author of toxins all the toxins remember where is copper 46:17 stored again deliver which means we really must take care of our what 46:22 delivering if you are anxious if you’re anxious where you know somebody who’s 46:28 anxious think number one is deliver focus on the liver speak to the liver 46:36 the liver has a mind all it’s long it talks to you all the time talk back to 46:41 it say liver I love you thank you so much liver for for assisting me to live 46:45 my best life and the liver will appreciate you for it’s gonna work 46:49 harder give the liver what it once it needs love and we’re gonna talk about 46:53 some of those things at the end in addition other toxins that caused the 47:00 liver to have to work hard ultimately let leading to significant symptoms of 47:04 anxiety mercury high on the list very very high on the list when we look at 47:12 professionals that have a high depression rate and a high suicide rate 47:17 what’s the number one profession dentistry why because they make dental 47:24 amalgams out of mercury right it’s a large portion of the dental amalgam 47:31 dental fillings were referring to mercury is a major major toxin 47:37 people do not know that it’s extremely common everybody in this room has a 47:43 significant amount of mercury again we’re as much of that mercury sitting in 47:47 our livers in our livers and there was someone in there in the crowd here a 47:53 large 50,000 seating arena without a doubt liver 47:57 I’m the mercury uh in the teeth and she’s exactly right yes it’s in the 48:02 teeth and the dental fillings among many other places and there are many many 48:06 many ways to get exposed to mercury remember the old felt hats right the old 48:12 felt hats back in the day 1800s oh you guys don’t 48:18 remember that come on belt hats oh these hats they used to wear they may you know 48:23 they have the brim on them they made them with a lining specifically that led 48:31 to those people going mad and they called them Mad Hatter’s and they were 48:35 Mad Hatter’s because there was mercury lining those hats bells quote-unquote 48:40 brims and it led them to go crazy they became significant English that they 48:44 developed significant anxiety depression among other things the Mad Hatter’s the 48:51 liver is extremely important there are other there are other quote-unquote 48:56 agents that have an impact on the liver leading to substantial anxiety that most 49:01 people are not familiar with and that would be infectious agents infectious 49:05 agents such as viruses which virus absolutely love the liver that’s his 49:12 primary home and it’s in just about everybody liver here that agent is 49:17 epstein-barr virus epstein-barr virus everybody’s been exposed everybody has 49:23 it and if our immune systems are strong enough then we’re good we can suppress 49:28 it however epstein-barr is just sitting there waiting in the cut for a stressful 49:33 situation to occur and it will start wreaking havoc and the liver must keep 49:37 it in check the liver must keep it in check if the liver doesn’t can’t keep it 49:41 in check what will deliver do it will call upon his buddy adrenalin to come 49:45 and stop it up slap it around a little bit if there’s if 49:50 dreidel glams a week because we’ve been chronically stressed for a long time the 49:54 liver says okay gonna increase fat the livers just gonna 49:58 get develop more fat around it called fatty liver okay and why would it why 50:05 would the liver develop fat why would why would that why would that occur 50:08 because as dr. Tara said one of fats function is to store toxins so the liver 50:16 gets fat it says okay I’m just gonna put this EBV epstein-barr virus here I’m 50:20 gonna throw some mercury in there I’m gonna throw some dioxin in there I’m 50:23 gonna throw some copper in there okay looks good livers like hey I’m all I’m 50:27 all out of what I can do here can’t continue to detoxify this is this guys 50:31 over here drinking too much this guy’s this guy’s this guy has too much debt 50:35 this guy is working you know eight and eighty hours a week 50:40 right so now our body’s been telling us because we’re anxious our body’s been 50:44 telling us hey slow down get some rest get out of that day do you understand 50:49 but it’s dead we’re like nope gotta go gotta go gotta go gotta go so it’s very 50:55 very important if you don’t take care of your liver what happens it shrinks it 50:59 gets bad and it shrinks and then there’s a rat and we said the live heard what’s 51:02 the what’s the root word of liver to live if the liver is not functioning 51:06 then we all know what happens it’s a rat the liver holds our negative emotions as 51:14 we talked about earlier remember when the liver says all right I quit I’m done 51:19 and the patients struggling and they’re blessed enough to get a liver transplant 51:25 what happens what happens every single patient with the liver transplant has 51:32 some aspect of their personality change every single one of them has an aspect 51:39 of their personality that changes why because those emotions from that other 51:45 liver gets transferred to the new person do you understand the importance the 51:53 need to make sure that we’re doing these things that dr. Tara mentioned resting 51:59 meditation live in a clean lifestyle it’s extremely important it otherwise 52:06 our body is telling us that anxiety do not ignore it do not ignore the engine 52:11 life is one of the most common symptoms that exist in any of our doctors offices 52:25 there’s a condition when the liver says I’m done there’s a condition everyone if 52:31 you have a pen otherwise put it to memory there’s a condition called Nash 52:36 in a sh Nash and you’ll have to write this down because it’s a scientific term 52:45 Nash is an acronym for non state oh I’m sorry non-alcoholic steatohepatitis 52:59 non-alcoholic stay at OU ste ATO hepatitis so right away we see itís in 53:10 there for the liver right so inflammation of the liver inflammation 53:15 of the liver what a stay at amine fatty fatty liver right away non-alcoholic 53:22 means what is not from drinking alcohol 30 million people have that condition 53:28 most don’t know ninety percent of them don’t know thirty million people 53:33 I didn’t say three hundred I didn’t say three thousand I didn’t say three 53:37 hundred thousand said thirty million 53:43 that is that is a condition that leads to end-stage liver disease in stage 53:49 liver disease means that quiz okay when we talk about anxiety anxiety is an 53:55 early sign that the liver is under stress or duress pay attention to 54:03 anxiety and seek the root cause do not just put tape over the engine warning 54:09 light putting tape over the engine warning light is like saying 54:13 here let me pull out my prescription pad and take this xanax sometimes we need 54:19 there’s an X don’t get me wrong sometimes you need that but if you stop 54:23 there eventually the engine will fail because 54:26 it was not attended to medication we need sometimes I don’t get me wrong 54:32 remember I’m an MD I pull out the prescription pad occasionally because 54:36 sometimes people need the support so don’t get me wrong but some of that 54:42 medication is very dangerous some of that tape you put over and you can’t see 54:46 the engine light and this take that completely covers that red light and you 54:50 just kind of ignore it person will get hooked on it they’re like I’m depending 54:53 on this on this car to get me to work and I’m just going to keep going and 54:56 ignore this this engine light and a person will get hooked on their 54:59 medication right they get hooked on the medication now let’s go to Part B 55:04 anxiety Part B they get hooked on medication such as xanax etc I was the 55:12 medical director of a behavioral health clinic for several years for two years 55:16 actually three four three years these patients were hooked on medications like 55:21 xanax for example or clonazepam etc they were out there partying with it or 55:26 abusing it and they would end up being forced to come to the clinic for many 55:32 other reasons whether it was because they they had to do it to keep their job 55:35 or or the judicial system got in the way they said hey you better do this or jail 55:40 time etc so now as a physician I couldn’t prescribe that medication so 55:46 what did I prescribe what would physicians do in that scenario okay use 55:51 alternative medications for anxiety again all we’re doing is putting a patch 55:55 putting a patch on giving them a patch correct putting them but you got to do 55:59 something because they’re seriously anxious cannot function it adversely 56:04 affects activities of daily living what would we do we’ve one of the options we 56:09 have is to give them an antihistamine give them an antihistamine medication 56:16 what does histamine have to do with anxiety anybody know what does histamine 56:22 have to do with anxiety what do we know about histamine during the 56:27 elbows seasons spring and fall you may see many people doing what coughing 56:32 sniffing sneezing from what seasonal allergy seasonal allergies what happens 56:38 to histamine during that time histamine increases during that time and we say oh 56:45 you just take what what do you take an anti histamine what what’s anti which 56:50 had asked me what tip people typically take benadryl right among others 56:56 okay histamine and we just say yeah we just kind of go with the flow take an 57:04 antihistamine and don’t really think what is histamine okay histamine is a 57:09 neurotransmitter neuro nerve transmitter messenger so it’s a messenger for our 57:16 nervous system histamine is a neurotransmitter it is a messenger for 57:24 our nervous system so if histamine goes up what happens the nervous system what 57:30 happens to the nervous system it gets stimulated 57:33 it’s a stimulator for our nervous system if histamine goes up really high what 57:38 happens it gets really stimulated a person will get super anxious as a 57:43 matter of fact they can get paranoid okay when you take benadryl how do you 57:50 feel you feel super awake or or you feel what drowsy so what does it do calm you 57:57 down you get that histamine down and calms you down now what is the classic 58:02 symptom of somebody who has allergy symptoms it’s a classic symptom classic 58:10 nasal correct and what about nasal would it be more 58:13 descriptive nasal what nasal drip nasal drainage what we call that mucus runny 58:20 nose mucus right so when histamine goes up it does what – mucus it increases 58:28 mucus right it increases mucus what does that have to do with anything what does 58:32 it have to do with anything it increases mucus if I spill a bottle 58:39 of ketchup on a white pristine marble floor I need 58:44 to clean that up okay I’m clumsy I need to clean up that ketchup I just build on 58:50 this white marble floor first thing I’m going to do is get a mop and I’m gonna 58:55 do what with the mop wedeck’s I’m gonna wet them up 58:59 that’s mucus your wedding something okay your wedding something number two if I 59:06 clean that wet if I use that wet mop alone to clean the ketchup on the white 59:12 christine floor will it fully clean that floor no everybody said knowing they’re 59:18 100 percent correct what do you need to add to the mop you can’t add right a 59:26 cleanser correct you have to add a cleanser to clean that up 59:30 when mucus drift down in your mouth and don’t tell me it’s never dripped down in 59:34 your mouth and you’ve never tasted it drip down in your mouth what does it 59:39 taste like to taste salty taste salty why would the body use histamine to 59:47 increase mucus and add some salt to it remember we’re 70% saltwater we’re 59:55 seventy percent saltwater so the body will fall upon our own natural salt add 60:00 some mucus to it to clean junk in the trunk to clean toxins to detoxify if you 60:09 have an allergy you’ve got a toxin if we’re anxious the body will increase 60:15 histamine to try to mop up the place clean it up because we don’t have enough 60:20 key nutrients and protectors to do the job so the body has to revert to using 60:26 mucus through histamine and histamine our body’s trying to help us out but 60:31 it’s going to use this histamine to stimulate the nervous system which 60:38 subsequently leads to what symptom anxiety patient walks into office dr. 60:43 Byron I’m so nervous I’ll know what to do I can’t even sleep da da da da and 60:46 you’re talking fast and there you know fidgeting and and you’re talking about 60:50 this that and the other all at the same time how many times it happened in your 60:54 right right five times a day that’s exactly right and we wonder what’s going 61:00 on we have to listen stop look and listen to the body sit back and say what 61:06 is in my environment what am I putting in my body talk to the liver ask the 61:09 liver to reveal what’s going on the liver will talk to you it will reveal it 61:13 I was eating gluten-free waffle in my home couple years ago eating gluten-free 61:25 waffle and I noticed that I shouldn’t say I noticed I’m the first one awake in 61:30 my house when the in the kitchen preparing breakfast having a gluten-free 61:35 waffle among other things of course I have my cook veggies going everybody 61:38 should know that I got veggies going to so having my gluten-free waffle so I’m 61:43 making the mix and I noticed actually I didn’t notice my wife said hey she 61:49 doesn’t call me dr. B at home but she says hey dr. B you did you know you’re 61:54 coughin in the morning and I’m a typical guy what do I say of course not denied 62:00 right I’m like no I’m not coughing what are you talking about next morning oh my 62:06 gosh she’s right I’m coffee so I noticed that when I got near the waffle maker I 62:13 would cough I there wouldn’t even be any batter in the waffle maker but I would 62:18 cough right there now I could ignore that I could say oh 62:23 I’m just there’s nothing but I’m very perceptive I said something’s up 62:27 something’s up with this waffle maker it must be the waffle mix so it’s it looked 62:33 at the waffle mix it’s organic gluten free blah blah blah like hmm I can’t 62:38 figure this out so I call it upon one of my colleagues 62:41 had one of my colleagues take a look and she said oh dr. pyre come on why are you 62:47 really here this is too easy it was the buttermilk it was the 62:51 buttermilk my body was very sensitive to the buttermilk 62:54 I was coffee okay so what did I do get the gluten-free dairy-free version 63:02 guess what I could enjoy my waffle 63:06 my body was talking to me it was giving me a signal specifically to say hey stop 63:13 looking listen pay attention so that I don’t keep asking my liver to do the 63:19 work do you understand my liver had to break down that buttermilk it was not 63:23 happy said that’s enough enough enough dr. Bui miss I’m gonna make you coffee 63:26 okay and instead of just taking a cough medicine or taking a quote-unquote 63:31 supplement for it I look for the source okay I didn’t just say okay here here we 63:35 go let’s pitless let me take let me you know yeah keep it moving keep it moving 63:43 dr. B okay let’s transition to this transition to what can we do what can we 63:54 do about this anxiety so there’s a lot of this talk about you know breathing 63:58 well listening to our bodies working on detoxification what can we do so there 64:06 are lots of things lots of easy things in my office I’d like to say press the 64:11 easy button press the easy button what are some easy things we can do dr. Tara 64:15 mentioned several of those take deep breaths slow down pay attention live a 64:23 detoxification lifestyle you must always be in the mode of eating cleanly having 64:31 clean household environment paying special attention to the music you’re 64:37 listening to my daughter reminds me of that all the time because I’m from the 64:41 old school hip-hop era it’s like Doc Byron got to turn the 64:44 Dutchman’s coming dr. B pop it you got to turn that off Mike come on now thank 64:53 God for her cuz otherwise my liver would be pissed 65:00 many people asked me in the office I probably get this question once every 65:07 two to three days because anxiety is so common and so prevalent they asked me 65:11 what about CBD oil how many people have heard of CBD oil right just about all 65:16 the hands come up raise up in the room and see if you know I was relatively new 65:20 relatively new quote-unquote potential healing remedy and one thing I’m going 65:29 to say about that is that CBD oil definitely has some benefits for anxiety 65:36 definitely one of the ways that it works is it works 65:40 and by the way CBD oil for those of you who may not know is in the in the u.s. 65:46 at least is legal from the hemp plant so it’s the plant that it’s a cousin of 65:51 mayor of the marijuana plant that specifically produces something called 65:56 CBD oil cannabidiol oil and that’s one tiny 66:00 component of the many components chemical or vital chemical plant 66:06 components in that particular plant and so CBD oil has been found to help 66:13 regulate the body’s emotional responses and it acts as an adaptogen so that’s 66:20 adaptogenic effects which means that if our body needs to be stimulated it’ll 66:25 stimulate the emotions if the emotions are heightened already and we’re coming 66:30 to the doctor complaining of anxiety it will calm them down so CBD oil has that 66:36 kind of power it’s a it’s what I call a smart plant or some people say a smart 66:41 herb you really can’t mess it up but I want to say a couple important things 66:45 about CBD oil because many people are using it without having a full 66:50 understanding of some other aspects so CBD oil one very important thing to know 66:55 is that the hemp plant specifically is a bio accumulator of toxins that’s what it 67:03 does in nature it grabs onto toxins so what most people don’t know is 67:10 that CBD oil has a massive amount of toxins already so if you’re going to 67:16 embark upon using CBD oil you must be assured that it has been tested and or 67:23 purified from any toxins that’s extremely important otherwise for 67:29 examples in my office I’m not saying this because I read it on somebody’s 67:32 website on somebody’s blog I see it in the office because I test for it so 67:36 you’ll see SuperDuper high levels of aluminum for example you’ll see 67:40 massively high levels of cadmium and there it is right there oh yeah yeah but 67:44 no CBD oil for the last four years you know that cadmium through the roof see 67:49 video tobacco for example hemp plant super-high and cadmium super-high and 67:55 aluminum among other toxins remember in nature that’s what it does in the soil 68:00 you got a marijuana plant or a CBD or I’m sorry hemp plant that’s what it does 68:08 if bioaccumulation will it will magnetically attract the toxins so that 68:13 you can have good quality food around that got it so do your homework on that 68:20 do not just go for the okey doke just take somebody’s random CBD oil 68:24 supplement but it is I do want to say that it is very good and it’s a it’s a 68:29 reasonably good option when you’re using a good product a couple of other things 68:35 regarding beneficial ways to ways to improve anxiety many people are familiar 68:45 with some key nutrients key minerals such as magnesium right magnesium is 68:52 excellent magnesium magnesium has a calming effect on the body so you make a 68:58 muscle that’s calcium relax the muscle that’s magnesium got it contract calcium 69:09 relax magnesium for those of you who are old enough you remember the old school 69:15 commercial Calgon take me away right that’s magnesia 69:21 that’s magnesium doing this work F some salt baths right very 69:26 calming soothing that’s magnesium okay so magnesium can be beneficial it’s not 69:34 as precise as you think though some people quite frankly after testing in my 69:39 office is revealed that it’s not magnesium they need they actually need 69:42 cows and calcium actually has somewhat of a calming effect as well but 69:46 sometimes you just don’t know if you don’t have but if you don’t know if you 69:49 don’t have any testing available at least try some magnesium typically it 69:53 won’t hurt you in most cases and it’s better and especially taking it at night 69:58 before bedtime other things other things some key key nutrients number one stress 70:05 nutrient that in my office ninety-eight percent of people are low 70:10 but the data will tell you that eighty percent of Americans are low I can tell 70:15 you I’ve tested for the last six years ninety-eight percent of people in fact I 70:21 really want to say 99 percent cuz there are only three people in the last six 70:24 years we’ve had a normal level who weren’t already supplementing and that 70:27 is which which vitamin I’m sorry which mineral zinc zinc that was good guess 70:38 zinc zinc so for the most part that zinc responds to stress it’s especially 70:46 important for the adrenal glands it’s especially important for the adrenal 70:52 glands especially important for the liver and then you ask glad you asked 70:56 this question of course which foods are high in zinc right meat meat seafood be 71:04 careful with seafood because seafood contains quite a few toxins as well so 71:08 you got to proceed with caution there but meat does it doesn’t mean you have 71:11 to be a carnivore for example but just I’m just it’s more for sharing 71:15 information you don’t get a lot of zinc and plant products next we talked about 71:23 magnesium zinc calcium oils oils essential oils essential oils these days 71:33 in my opinion because of the changes that we’re seeing in our 71:37 environment these central oils are literally coming to the floor for us 71:41 they are a gift to us they’re a gift to help us deal with all this quote-unquote 71:46 stress I use oils literally every day multiple times a day including on my way 71:52 to work and on my way home oils are very very beneficial for us whether you 71:57 whether they’re used as simply something that’s fun or for therapeutic purposes I 72:03 think that in fact they are essential especially for the rise in problematic 72:09 conditions that we see in our environment so they’re really there to 72:12 help us so we should really become familiar I like to say get familiar with 72:18 the oils which oils what we use essential oils we use to keep us in 72:23 chill mode calming lavender among among many right lavender is very good and 72:30 there there are many others but lavender would be far and it would be by far and 72:34 away number one there are also there are also oils that have quote-unquote 72:42 adapted genic properties meaning you can’t go wrong there like CBD oil if you 72:47 have pure CBD oil or purify CBD oil there are some oils that function that 72:53 way such as copaiba among others copaiba actually has some CBD in it and again if 73:00 you use that from the perspective of a company that offers pure essential oils 73:04 then you’re good that’s another great way to utilize oils to assist in this 73:09 process of dealing with anxiety these are all practical things that you can do 73:14 to allow your body to send in messengers that body gets some lavender in it 73:20 you’re sending that liver some love you’re like yeah that livers like give 73:24 me some more sound like James Brown 73:28 see some some Pete I must be getting old or something else yeah so obviously last 73:37 but not least with anxiety either minimizing and/or avoiding alcohol 73:42 remember alcohols a toxin and it is what depressant so excessive alcohol can be 73:50 very problematic the liver has to detoxify it you often see this believe 73:56 it or not remember the liver is the seat of our negative emotions right so what 74:01 happens what happens person drinks you’ll see some people who get what 74:05 angry they get aggressive they want to fight right that’s the liver the liver 74:11 speaking is deliver although all of the ways that the livers been suppressed and 74:17 now coming out because because the alcohol numbs the nerve so now it just 74:21 starts talking screaming the avoid the excessive stimulants as well so you know 74:30 excessive coffee you know when I worked for that behavioral health program for 74:36 three years nearly every single person either came in with a big coffee mug or 74:42 Mountain Dew if they didn’t smoke they needed a stimulant they weren’t smoking 74:48 they didn’t have a coffee mug if they did not have Mountain Dew on the desk 74:55 they probably did not belong in the program and what what are they really 75:00 telling me what does their body telling me when they’re bringing that stuff in 75:03 that their lowing what energy that low energy is expressed as an emotion energy 75:11 in motion okay so if they were seeing me at byron health and healing clinic my 75:16 job would be to focus on assisting the process of detoxification with the 75:21 central theme of cleansing the liver subsequently boosting their energy 75:28 centers adrenals and thyroid got it that’s the ticket that’s the home run 75:34 hitter right there so again anxiety is extremely common 75:38 have to use tools are very well available to us do not 75:43 ignore your body stop look and listen and last but not least there are a 75:50 couple things on the table on the side there that we use in our practice very 75:57 frequently one is calls endocrine that’s the doTERRA product that’s a great 76:02 product for liver supports I always always always have 100% of my patients 76:09 wants to excuse me on some form of liver support and there are other other things 76:15 a liver is excellent as well that’s another product that’s a pirate health 76:20 and healing specific product that’s extremely good which reminds me another 76:24 source of anxiety that we did not talk about today we’re not going to talk 76:28 about it at any length but I just want to share that it is important for us and 76:32 that is EMF electromagnetic frequencies okay that’s another major major toxin 76:39 that’s relatively new to us over the last you know 15 to 20 years that’s 76:43 increasingly becoming worse and our body has to deal with that so again we’re not 76:47 going to talk about it now but again what can you do you got it you got to 76:50 develop some protective barriers to assist your body to address that there’s 76:57 a bottle of lavender over there as well I think I don’t know what we were 77:00 diffusing tonight so that is the ticket I don’t think I have anything else to 77:11 discuss so thank you for your attention especially with this with a subject such 77:15 as anxiety I mean you know kind of be a debbie downer type of subject but I’m 77:20 you know I get excited about that subject because there are easy tools to 77:25 use to fix it none of us should walk around with any significant anxiety is 77:29 too easy to address if we do really simple things stop look and listen to 77:34 your body and and use some of these tools that we have readily available 77:38 the vast majority of which are are extremely inexpensive some of which are 77:44 free that’s it thank you and welcome and go ahead you’re gonna say we were open 77:55 for questions that’s what I was gonna say to you 77:58 doctor yes yes like a shouldn’t routine should I just force myself to do it push 78:26 past it or should I have you like listening my body getting the sleep and 78:29 sleeping for 30 instead what’s the recommendation for that very good I like 78:37 to say at least from my response dr. Tara is to go with the flow your if your 78:43 body is calling upon the need for more rest you need more rest do not force it 78:49 listen to your body your body saying get the rest take the rest so that you can 78:53 heal that’s extreme it’s a time of healing and rejuvenation 78:57 so if our body is saying we’re tired we need to sleep more and you got to listen 79:02 to it and because it’s saying what it needs in that moment so I would take 79:05 definitely take more time to let your body heal in that time we wanted to add 79:10 something to you reminded me about the importance of the cycle for the liver 79:16 you know a women have menstrual cycle right all men have a site everybody has 79:23 a cycle the liver has a cycle so all of our organs and glands have a cycle the 79:29 livers time the liver has a time in which it sinks it does its best work 79:35 between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. so if you’re waking up between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. 79:40 again stop look and listen say hmm am I in my detoxing something extra and or do 79:48 I have some emotion that I’m not a that I’m not addressing such as resentment 79:52 anger frustration that’s the liver time we live near Milwaukee with Miller time 79:58 no no we just got a jokester over gotta bring you a game when we talk about 80:07 anxiety right you don’t want you don’t want to hear debbie downer 80:09 ha right I hear that multiple times a day is I can’t sleep and I say well what 80:15 time do you have trouble going to sleep they say no I could fall asleep fine I 80:19 wake up in the night and I’m like well what time do you wake up and most people 80:23 will tell me between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. so on and then I say that’s your liver 80:27 we need to work on your liver No 80:45 that’s a great question what are what what is the best time to eat a meal best 80:50 time to eat a meal technically is between 5 & 7 5 and 7 p.m. which is 80:55 relatively early for many of us in my world that’s definitely early but that’s 81:00 the best time to eat because you need time for the food to digest before you 81:05 go to bed you really go to bed between 8:30 and 10:30 and you know you’re not 81:12 eating until 8 o’clock at night that’s not enough time for the food to digest 81:16 subsequently fool will sit sit and then I also see with people who eat later 81:22 meals they wake up at the middle of the night because their blood sugar will 81:25 spike so that’s another reason why I see patients waking up is because of their 81:29 blood sugar and the time they’re eating and limit the sugars release it will 81:33 wake them up in the middle of the night too and the adrenals respond to that 81:36 because we know sugar increases in the body the adrenal glands are going to 81:40 respond to that too so we wake up in a state of adrenaline still you had a 81:46 question you mentioned that most people are tired with caffeine what would be 81:56 something you was just 82:00 to get energy because I think that’s an epidemic we’re all tired most of us not 82:05 enough sleep but does food also have something to do with our body that it’s 82:10 tired because we’re full of toxins or they think you should have um a good 82:21 question so she she she was saying are there certain folks that so how did 82:28 you say that again sorry I’m like the us multiple questions sorry if she’s saying 82:36 everybody’s tired all the time we say it’ll avoid stimulants like sugar and 82:40 soda how can we keep on going and surviving you know without these 82:46 stimulants that we say to avoid but not just be fatigued all day long well one 82:50 thing is cleaning that liver more detoxification if we clean that liver 82:55 out we’re gonna have more energy and more mental clarity in our energy like 82:59 our whole Energy’s going to improve when we clean that liver out and then so 83:04 foods that we eat that keep continuing to detoxify the body fruits and 83:08 vegetables as one thing and then eating regular in my medical opinion it’s 83:15 eating regular meals throughout the day so I say eat like a bird so you’re 83:19 eating breakfast snack lunch snack dinner to help maintain that blood sugar 83:23 because a lot of the times when our adrenal glands are often our cortisol is 83:28 spiking at odd times in the day usually what happens we eat lunch right we we 83:33 wake up we have energy we start going in the morning we eat lunch and then we get 83:37 this 2 o’clock lull right we’re just like oh my gosh I need Starbucks I need 83:42 sugar I need something because both that’s an 83:44 adrenal issue but if we’re eating poor quality foods or our blood sugar is not 83:49 regulated throughout the day then that will cause imbalances in that and we’ll 83:54 get that lull in the afternoon where we feel like we need that stimulant so 83:57 eating low glycemic foods routinely throughout the day is going to help 84:02 maintain that blood sugar eating a protein with every meal to help maintain 84:05 that blood sugar with a good-quality fat is gonna help keep your blood sugar so 84:10 it’s not jumping and dropping and jumping which puts 84:12 extra stress on our body so that can give you more energy is just regulating 84:16 your diet throughout the day cleanly to help detoxify the body but also to 84:21 maintain that blood sugar I was your second second that by adding veggies 84:27 green leafy veggies especially remember we get energy from the Sun 84:32 photosynthesis right photosynthesis so first first order of business for planet 84:37 to grow in these water so make sure that we’re well hydrated that’s that’s the 84:41 most important aspect when it comes to food most of us walk around dehydrated 84:45 on me up a couple folks in the back we’re drinking their big jugs a lot 84:48 that’s that’s the critical piece staying well hydrated number two these these 84:53 vegetables especially the green leafies are storing Sun energy right they’re 84:58 storing Sun energy guess what that energy gets incorporated into our bodies 85:03 in fact giving us energy so eating eating plenty of green leafies 85:08 throughout the day cooked combination raw I make sure that 85:12 I have some form of vegetables especially some green leafies at least 85:16 twice a day at least partially for lunch and for sure with dinner so and I also 85:22 have a vegetables for breakfast as well so I make sure to stay stored up one on 85:29 the on the Sun energy boosts that retain that Sun energy smoothies are a great 85:34 way for morning breakfasts to get your veggies and you could throw spinach in 85:38 there you know you can get those veggies in I make an avocado spinach smoothie 85:43 and it’s awesome I love it I just made it up oh but basically if you all want 85:53 it it’s like almond or coconut milk great and I do like a whole avocado I do 85:58 a handful of spinach in there I do some coconut oil too to get me some fats and 86:04 then some honey some local honey it kind of gives it a sweetness but it is like 86:10 and then blend it all up it is so good I swear I believe it every day and I 86:15 yeah I made it up so I don’t know there’s wasn’t a recipe I thought I just 86:20 made it up but yes that’s a great question so our question was what are 86:33 some of the things that we can do to begin to detoxify our liver so number 86:39 one is the liver requires lots of liquid water it requires a lot of water because 86:43 if you’ve got a clean house you’re gonna clean up that’s ketchup on a pristine 86:47 white floor you need water you need a mom you wet mop so so you need to stay 86:53 well hydrated those who have been following our presentations over the 86:59 years this is now year six four five something like that all right yeah let’s 87:04 call it here five those who have been following us know that we almost always 87:08 mentioned the amount of water that we need daily and anyone care to mention 87:14 how much water we need who wants to see my impression of this guy so we are 70% 87:22 what salt water so our goal is half our body weight in ounces per day minimum 87:34 for survival right if we’re physically active and working on sweating you need 87:39 1/3 more of that so whatever you weigh divide it by two out that’s how many 87:44 ounces a day minimum all right so that’s a lot of water some of that is coming 87:49 through food I said you’re eating vegetables they’re 87:52 retaining a lot of fluid that’s are a lot of a lot of water so that’s 87:56 important the other things to do for the liver so real basic will run through a 88:02 couple real basic things one is very easy right we start with the easy and 88:08 inexpensive stuff limit lemon water so you squirt a little living in your water 88:13 and or use lemon essential oil right purified Lebanese central oil or just 88:17 squirt of lemon and or lime in the water the liver loves it it stings the liver 88:23 is an organ right organs you can’t play an organ unless it’s in tune right how 88:30 do these organ speak to each other they speak via vibrational frequencies they 88:34 speak to each other be a vibrational frequencies it’s not a tune you’re not 88:38 gonna like that sound it’s gonna manifest itself as anxiety so it’s 88:42 important to make sure you’re given the liver what it needs to be in tune it 88:46 loves highly alkaline substances because it’s always dealing with these acidic 88:51 substances to try to break down toxins right so it loves an alkaline alkalinity 88:56 of lemon and or limes they’re the most alkaline fruits that exist so although 89:02 we think that they are acidic right they have alkaline forming properties once we 89:07 ingest them we always give cocktail party information that’s right 89:17 absent salt has magnesium magnesium calms the body it also helps detoxify so 89:22 like I always say two cups of epson salt in a warm bath so for 20 minutes that 89:27 can help detoxify the body as well cocktail party information you ready 89:31 okay cocktail party information which substance which nutrient is high in 89:36 lemon or limes that make them alkaline nutrient vitamin mineral 89:45 C and that’s good guest potassium potassium very high in potassium so the 89:56 other things for the liver some of my favorites artichoke extract 90:02 milk thistle dandelion root among many others Zenda Corinne has many of those 90:12 already built in it I when I first started practicing integrative medicine 90:19 and one of my mentors in fact my primary mentor sold artichoke extract in his 90:26 office and I asked his staff I said what’s 90:28 number one selling a supplement in the office I assumed he would say something 90:32 like vitamin C you know vitamin e e”z nothing like that magnesium no I said he 90:37 said artichoke extract what artichoke is driving that’s because his practice was 90:45 centered around the same process focus on the liver detoxification if that 90:49 liver cleaned up and everything else begins to work better everything else is 90:53 in tune symphony of the body symphony of cells are functioning as one got it 91:03 let’s say that someone has been able to overcome anxiety for some time but they 91:07 have tingling in the body and they pain in the back of their neck like what do 91:12 you guys recommend for that person who’s trying to eat healthy and doing 91:17 everything that we can for coming so just to clarify the question again you 91:22 said they have tea there they’re eating cleanly living trying to live a clean 91:25 lifestyle yet they have persistent symptoms of tingling and a pain in the 91:30 back of the neck and kind of like tingling at different times of the day 91:35 the chiropractor that’s what I was gonna say chiropractic adjustments can help a 91:41 lot yeah just with the effects of our body’s 91:45 physical stress of everything but specifically adjusting T 8 7 8 in the 91:51 middle of the back feeds the adrenal glands it can help balance the body so 91:56 and adjusting the upper neck can help too but pretty much if there’s imbalance 92:01 in the nervous system and again chiropractically we work with the brain 92:04 in the nervous system and the brain talks with everything to communicate 92:08 function right so if it can’t communicate downstream then there’s 92:12 gonna be dysfunction in the body so if we create balance through a chiropractic 92:16 adjustment so that brain can talk to those adrenal glands and everything can 92:21 communicate freely within the body or body’s gonna function better right so 92:25 chiropractic adjustments can help a lot I do I have some of my patients here I 92:29 can just touch their backs and I could say I had one today middle middle back 92:34 it was just like a rock I said are you stressed she’s like it’s been a 92:37 really stressful thing and I’m like I can tell like you just touching your 92:41 body I can tell what what the issue is you know other issues I treat you know 92:46 any digestive issue low back I’ll find a lot of tension in that low back you know 92:50 so it’s it’s a really a cool therapy to use to treat just anxiety but a lot of 92:56 other things as well look at B vitamin status – like vitamin b12 and you got a 93:04 tingling and that kind of problem generally speaking I look at a b12 level 93:11 b12 is low I mean stomach acid it’s likely highly likely to be low as well 93:19 what vegetables are eating for breakfast great question 93:23 best veggies I eat for breakfast are I say 50% of the time cruciferous 93:28 vegetables so I eat a medley of cruciferous vegetables broccoli 93:32 cauliflower and then carrots that’s not a cruciferous special it’s actually 93:37 called California blend that’s what I that’s what I eat organic broccoli 93:42 cauliflower and carrots and now you know I’ll do do that one day next day I’ll do 93:48 green beans the next day all organic next day I do 93:51 broccoli alone but 50% of the time is there it’s the medley and why why do I 93:59 actually specifically do that for a reason because the cruciferous 94:03 vegetables are extremely beneficial for cleansing the liver extremely important 94:10 for cleansing the liver they contain a compound called endo Lamine indole amine 94:15 I am do l am i any and that specifically breaks down one of the toxins that leads 94:23 to excessive amounts of estrogen buildup let’s say from plastics among other 94:28 things so it helps to break down toxins that a plastic base which we’re all 94:33 inundated with so so that’s not actually so that’s what I would I have the 94:39 veggies but those are the veggies that I eat my daughter who is we just turned 13 94:46 for several years she’s the second one who comes to the kitchen and she gets 94:51 her breakfast started and she makes her own set of veggies and her veggies 94:55 usually include sometimes carrots sometimes broccoli those would be the 94:59 big two for my daughter again teach the family teach your kids how to 95:03 do this independently at very young ages they will learn how to how to deal with 95:10 quote/unquote stress and anxiety in part in the kitchen kids in the kitchen makes 95:15 a big difference so when you’re getting you get that energy you absorb that 95:21 healing energy that’s in a carrot that’s in broccoli at seven you absorb it just 95:24 by handling it just by getting the scent from it etc I mean you eat it of course 95:29 it’s game on your liver loves you back 95:35 yes / dairy free don’t forget that dairy blue and dairy free waffle and or 95:47 pancakes but make pancakes – no they’re blueberries wild blueberries while 95:51 blueberries are extremely beneficial for the liver by the way very very 95:55 beneficial for the liver also great for the eyes as well specifically for night 96:00 vision excellent you want to improve wild 96:04 blueberries also have antiviral properties as well remember there’s a 96:08 special virus that like to hang out in the liver which is steam epstein-barr 96:12 virus you were listening tonight nobody fell asleep that’s the dream talking 96:17 about anxiety you know oh my gosh yeah so so that’s the ticket yeah I usually 96:22 have a couple of eggs eggs by the way I should say something about eggs just a 96:29 few years ago we never saw eggs show up and I shouldn’t say never but it’s very 96:34 rare to see extra up in food sensitivity testing now it’s extremely common 96:39 extremely common so eggs are not necessarily a food that 96:44 I highly recommend for most people these days because it’s it’s pervasively 96:49 common to have an egg sensitivity why is that why is that so two reasons 96:57 least I’ll share with you right off the top we can talk about it separately down 97:01 the road two reasons number one eggs are food for viruses and microorganisms so 97:10 if we have poor gut these microorganisms overpopulate microorganisms overpopulate 97:15 and what do they like to eat when we’re in the lab in the laboratory we grow 97:20 these organisms on what in the petri dish we give them eggs that’s the 97:24 culture in which we grow up okay they beat it they feed on that stuff so they 97:28 love it if someone were to get a flu shot the person given the flu shot 97:33 should ask them whether they have an allergy to eggs what is the flu shot 97:37 addressing a virus right why did why would why would that why would they say 97:41 that because they grew the virus for the shot in a culture of eggs do you 97:47 understand so that’s one reason the second reason is that arsenic 97:51 unfortunately which is highly toxic is also ever-present in most of our eggs so 98:05 not everybody has that effect but I can just tell you if I’m if I’m if I’m 98:10 guessing whether someone will have of sensitivity to eggs I’m guessing that 98:14 they would Oh irrespective knowing anything about that’s a great question 98:33 you guys asking really good questions you might put me on the spot both of us 98:36 on this fun dairy we live in a dairy State so I can’t say too much they’ll 98:44 come back so Dairy Dairy is a is problematic number one irrespective of 98:51 whether an individual is intolerant or not first thing Dairy does is it 98:56 increases mucus production what did we say about mucus earlier what do we say 99:03 about it we said mucus is associated with increased what this to be 99:08 thank you you were listening okay you get increased histamine that’s telling 99:11 you that there’s a problem just to mean it’s going to cause what what symptom 99:15 anxiety why should we listen to that warning signal because that’s telling us 99:20 on the other side of that increased histamine is poor detoxification we’ve 99:24 got to increase mucus to clean up some junk in the trunk do you understand 99:28 so dairy products substantially increased mucus substantially so Bobby 99:36 if somebody comes in they have someone if someone comes in if someone comes to 99:42 the office and they have you know skin issues right away first question I’m 99:47 asking is how much dairy are you consuming okay why cuz that junk is 99:51 coming out through the skin the liver cannot handle the process of 99:55 detoxification of dairy products so I had the story plenty of cheese all you 100:01 want but you know that who wants to cheese I told you earlier who wants to 100:05 cheese who wants to dairy who wants the eggs that’s exactly right the organisms 100:11 that are present they’re screaming for they’re sending a signal to the brain 100:14 and giving you an emotion it’s gonna attach any motion to that when you eat 100:20 that stuff do you feel good it’s gonna attach that emotion that’s sitting there 100:25 sit it to the brain and say oh I gotta had that piece of cheese do you 100:30 understand the best thing you can I’m serious 100:32 the best thing you can do is deny just like I deny to my wife that I was 100:38 coughing in the morning oh I my daughter she’s almost 2 but when she was around 100:54 nine months old I brought her to dr. Byron because she had all this eczema on 100:58 her and I couldn’t figure out what I was 101:01 doing I mean we I was doing everything I knew how to do as a doctor and I was 101:05 getting goat’s milk for her because a cow’s milk was bad and he sent me to go 101:10 get food sensitivity and it was the goat’s milk that was triggering this I 101:15 cut that votes month out within a week her skin was completely clear within one 101:20 week I mean she was completely resolved so it was the it was the dairy that was 101:23 triggering that and here I thought as being good getting her goat’s milk but 101:26 I’m not getting cow’s milk you know but so we just don’t we don’t even have 101:31 dairy in my house is how we just that’s why we use coconut milk in our smoothies 101:37 in my household we haven’t had it since 2010 dairy since then and by the way you 101:45 know it may sound like I’m kind of you know droppin knowledge here right but I 101:51 live this stuff I live it I went through this I don’t same questions you guys are 101:55 asking me I asked myself because I didn’t have the knowledge at the time I 101:58 went through this my family and I we were eating standard American diet you 102:02 know somewhat cleanly but we were having dairy every day every day and family 102:07 members were had asthma family members had eczema family members had allergies 102:11 and then I started just where I’m sharing with you guys we remove dairy 102:16 that was the first thing we did massive improvement that’s in part what led me 102:20 to do this kind of work that was one of the triggers said oh my gosh is this 102:24 working for my family maybe it’ll work for my patients I started used utilizing 102:28 it in my patients and oh my gosh it will come back and say dr. Bob okay now I 102:31 have this other problem I never told you about okay let’s figure that one out 102:34 okay so I you know understand we’re human too and we go through the same 102:40 stuff so what they’re just gonna say 102:50 yeah let’s do on one or two more questions yeah 102:55 the doctors saying the alkaline day and if so what’s your take on it 103:03 good question the question was am i familiar are we familiar with dr. Chevy 103:08 diet and out specifically the alkaline diet dr. Sophy and whether or not that 103:12 has benefits for our health for us to achieve optimal health yes I’m familiar 103:18 with dr. Chevy and his work who is who has since passed away he shares some 103:25 important very important concepts and more specifically you talking about just 103:29 about alkyl and alkyl alkaline diet but if you study and carefully he talked 103:33 about an anti mucus diet okay talking about an anti mucus diet anti mucus diet 103:39 is very similar to an alkaline diet and he specifically encouraged people to use 103:48 special herbs and natural foods specifically to elicit that so yes I’m 103:56 familiar with him I wouldn’t say I would use his quote unquote diet as a 104:01 comprehensive diet for all because we are all different but as a guy it’s 104:07 excellent I remember what I was gonna say so most people come to us to heal 104:14 them right but I just want to encourage you guys to know that you guys the 104:20 things you do every day is how you heal yourselves so we’ll give you this tidbit 104:24 of information but what you guys do would implement in your lives every 104:28 single day is how you create your own journey to wellness into optimal health 104:33 okay that’s what I was gonna say all right so we’re gonna 104:38 okay okay um I was just curious so I have a pretty clean diet for the past 104:45 I’ve had it for like six months or so or everything that I consume it’s just like 104:49 natural like from the earth so I get really hungry for like sugar sometimes I 104:54 can shoot craving because I’m not consuming anything processed so I try to 104:59 eat chocolate like 70% dark chocolate but I feel like I’ve been eating too 105:04 much of it so I’m looking for like other sources of sucrose that’s healthy 105:08 like from obviously like pomegranates and like other fruits but I’m just 105:12 curious like what do you guys would come after that 105:14 well usually if you’re craving sugar there’s something deeper going on okay 105:20 that’s probably you know whether it’s something in the gut or the liver or 105:23 something that could be why you’re screaming for sugar but you know any 105:29 fruits is a yeah they have sugar in them so that’s right with a lower glycemic so 105:34 they’re gonna be a nice alternative dark chocolates bad good 70 75 % yeah has 105:40 magnesium in it yeah so that’s a good alternative as well anything else yeah 105:46 so again that’s a great question because you’re asking a question is based on 105:50 your cravings so you’re listening to your body right we listen to your body 105:54 carefully you’re saying okay it’s practically telling you what the issue 105:57 is alright sayin okay you crave sugar but 106:01 you’re replacing that with chocolate that’s a good choice relatively speaking 106:04 if you’re craving sugar you’re craving energy okay you’re craving energy so 106:09 what what forms of energy would you utilize you would utilize short and long 106:13 term forms of energy these deliver stores sugar stores glass sugar in the 106:18 form of glycogen for about 90 minutes work so again you focus on the liver 106:22 look at look at fruits very good quality fruits you’re getting a good quality 106:27 form of sugar with with fruits if you can get them in season great if not 106:32 don’t worry about it we live in Wisconsin and or Northern Illinois so we 106:36 cannot go by the typical seasons otherwise we would starve okay the 106:41 second thing I would say is if for example part of that craving for sugar 106:45 is in fact including chocolate then you start looking at chocolate specifically 106:49 in the ingredients a new nutrients I should say in chocolate even 106:53 if it’s 70% you say okay chocolates gonna have fair amount of 106:57 zinc but it’s also gonna have a lot of copper okay yes absolutely 107:03 so so chocolate what I will begin to think I have this is again showing you 107:08 how I think about that question attacked I’ll say okay because she has copper 107:13 toxicity and or some derivative of it leading to a quote unquote craving for 107:18 it and that’s the way I would I would look at that if you had other associated 107:23 symptoms as well it would be high on the list so cool alright well thank you guys 107:31 all for coming out you can ask a question after after we’re done we’re 107:36 gonna close it up here thank you for joining us for our first lecture of the 107:40 season we will be back March 7 so it’s the first Thursday in March same place 107:45 same time for ask the doctors we’ve done this one before back by popular demands 107:52 if the fun one so we’ll just be on the hot seat up here you guys can ask us 107:55 questions we do have this video on Facebook should you need to go back and 107:59 review it it is available for you to review okay 108:03 otherwise thank you for coming out again there’s handouts on your way out and if 108:07 you want to donate there is a little cup over there all right have a good night

Lecture Transcript

(This transcript is un-edited and may contain spelling and punctuation errors)

00:01 All right I am Dr. Tera Pfarr I am a chiropractor at Brown Family 00:05 Chiropractic and we are excited to start our lecture series off this year dr. 00:11 Rudy Byron of Byron Health and Healing is joining me tonight for anxiety 00:18 remedies for relaxation so this is our first lecture in this location in our 00:26 own clinic so we’re just really excited that I don’t that drive somewhere in the 00:29 sucky cold weather to another location release series so it’s kind of fun just 00:33 to hop on back here and have it all in one place so that’s super awesome little 00:38 things I want to touch on before we start this is a free lecture for anybody 00:43 who wants to come you free community lectures this is funded and hosted by a 00:48 non-profit I started called healthy spines initiative of Wisconsin where 00:52 we’re doing community health outreaches and providing chiropractic screen and 00:56 chiropractic care for low income or people who can’t afford it so if you can 01:00 donate it all I do have a donation bucket over there and a little bit more 01:04 information about my nonprofit you can also visit my website 01:15 www.patinsproject.com a 10 do shallow breathe get stressed and you could see 01:55 the shoulders rise in and so throughout the day and as I’m working in my 02:00 stressful busy day I’ve had today and or if a patient comes in frazzled they’re 02:05 late you know I’ve just got stuck at a train take a breath 02:10 breathe in through your nose out through your mouth 02:13 fill those lungs because it’s amazing with just oxygenating your body can do 02:19 for your mind body and spirit so as we know our breath is very much tied to how 02:25 we feel and so if we feel stressed we will notice that our breath becomes very 02:31 shallow we notice and if we notice we are feeling nice and relaxed we breathe 02:37 like a sleeping baby that kind of billowy puffy breath 02:41 through our abdomen right you’ve seen those babies sleep and their abdomens 02:45 rise and fall so again just take a moment center yourself and get a sense 02:50 of if you are in this relaxed state or not and if you are not relaxed a little 02:56 bit more take some big deep breaths because as you try to understand this 03:01 information we’re about to discuss tonight into your knowledge base the 03:05 more relaxed you are and the more you incorporate deep breathing the more it 03:10 will integrate into your memory so as we before we talk about stress and anxiety 03:15 the goal is to be relaxed and understand a better way to deal with it 03:20 because we know that stress if unchecked for long periods of time can cause 03:25 significant contributions to your symptoms in your conditions now there’s 03:30 a whole host of issues and us as primary care physicians see it every day so many 03:35 of them can be reduced or possibly reversed if we can get proper management 03:40 of that stress factor so what is stress we throw around that word all the time 03:46 of what does it really mean with dr. hans selye a that defined it as the 03:53 nonspecific response of the body to any demand for change now the first thing to 04:00 understand that it says it is a non specific response which means that is 04:05 not the same thing that happens every single time you get stressed for all 04:10 kinds of stress and that action can happen whenever your body perceives a 04:15 demand for change so you might be thinking hmmm this is still hard for me 04:20 to grasp my goal is to make sure that this is not 04:23 a stressful lecture for you guys so let’s look at this definition in another 04:28 way when your body has to respond to a demand for change meaning whenever you 04:35 feel that there’s a need for change your body has to go through some sort of 04:40 stress effect and you might be feeling a little overwhelmed right now because as 04:45 we look at this definition you might think my goodness isn’t life all about 04:50 change so is it that I’m doomed to be stressed all the time because I’m always 04:55 going to be demanded for change of something whether it is for my boss my 05:01 job my spouse my children my finances they always require change constantly 05:07 through life but please have hope there are solutions that we’re going to talk 05:11 about today so the first thing I want to explore with you is for you to 05:16 understand that it’s not just one type of stress that stress as we use it can 05:22 mean dis dis stress and distress is something negative right so if you have 05:27 a negative feeling about a situation or let’s say you didn’t get that job or 05:32 that you feel physically bad these are all types of dis stress in the body but 05:39 equally stressful even though we don’t talk about it that way is the demand for 05:43 change for something good in your life so think about getting that job think 05:48 about the stress and anxiety of that trends transition and making sure you’re 05:51 performing on that new position and even though you’re excited to get that 05:55 promotion there’s still some demand for change that your body has to meet to get 06:01 to that next level of that change so remember those two categories so 06:05 whenever you’re in a situation you always have to wonder how is that person 06:10 perceiving that stressful situation so I’m cluing you in on this big factor 06:16 that you have and the power that you have behind this perception of stress 06:20 now we look at that definition and you see it’s really about that demand for 06:25 change right on the body or our expectation because most of the time 06:30 when we are stressing it is some sort of expectation or 06:35 worried that we are boiling around in our brains and our minds or in our 06:39 hearts that caused the physical symptoms right I’ve been through Medical School 06:45 I’ve had the stress of getting through board exams and examinations my gut 06:50 feels it my body feels it my immune system feels it right how many of you 06:55 have gone through a stressful period of time just to finish so you could go on 06:58 vacation and then you get sick right so that shows that there’s the stress 07:02 connection mind-body connection with our perception of stress and how we handle 07:09 in their body so you see you have the ability to really control your world 07:14 based on how you see that world if you as you know it see the world as 07:19 metaphorically the half glass half glass empty then that demand for change will 07:26 increase quite a bit if you’re always just melancholia 07:29 today is gonna be awful you know that demand for stress on the body is going 07:34 to be exponential but for those people who have acceptance and compassion they 07:39 will find that they don’t need that demand for change that they will live 07:43 and they will give but they don’t always expect something so you you will find 07:50 that that the number of expectations you have likely relate to the amount of 07:56 stress you have in your life so this does not mean to lower your expectations 08:00 or your standards that’s not what I mean at all but I want you to continue to go 08:05 for your best in life but you have to have the expectation that it’s always 08:10 going to work out for me we know that it doesn’t always do that 08:13 right so having that acceptance that okay this is a situation I’m in this is 08:19 all I can do about it how can we move on and move forward from this situation and 08:23 that can help reduce the stress impact on the physical body so we’ve found that 08:29 the way you see the world is really how you’re going to feel have you ever been 08:34 around those people that just everything is awful and then you can just feel that 08:39 energy that they have they see the world it’s against them right and we don’t 08:45 want to feel that way so that’s what we’re gonna discuss today and the way 08:48 you see that world and how you feel will return well determine the body’s demand 08:54 for those changes so incorporating things like tolerance acceptance and 08:59 compassion all these things reduce your expectations and help reduce the 09:05 suffering related to those expectations that didn’t pan out the way you’ve 09:09 thought so let me give you a little example of this let’s imagine a scenario 09:15 when you’re sitting on a plane my mom’s in Costa Rica right now I sure 09:20 wish I was in Costa Rica right now so this I I fly quite frequently I like to 09:26 travel but imagine you’re on a plane at night and I love being on a plane at 09:31 night especially when you’re passing over the lights of the city you can 09:35 adjust it a little bit if you need to passing over the lights of the city and 09:40 you see all those twinkling lights and those little cars as you you drive and 09:45 move and I think wow what a wonderful world we live in and I get very 09:51 enlightened experiencing and just understanding my place within the 09:54 universe when I’m flying over big cities and seeing all the little life of below 09:59 me now I find that very grounding I find it very peaceful and I it kind of puts 10:04 things into perspective for me and then I look over at some of the people that 10:08 are sitting around me and I might see a young man gripping his arm dressed 10:12 pantsing just you can see his whole body is tense and you can know he’s thinking 10:17 oh my gosh are we going to die right now right and you can see it in his face his 10:22 whole facial structure his body his breath pattern show that he is in fear 10:28 mode and he is looking at that same beautiful scenery that I am seeing but 10:33 he sees it completely different than I do right and because he views it so 10:38 differently he feels that differently and then the body has asked for a demand 10:44 for change for him and then it’s and that is when he decides or 10:48 uses to have that different response on his body now we can choose how we 10:53 perceive our stress more than we think so let’s look at another example because 10:59 because really the tragic or the humorous is a matter of perspective 11:03 right now I try to make a habit of having some gratitude in my life every 11:09 day I wake up before I put my feet on this earth I say to myself for a few 11:14 minutes what am i grateful for this has been shown to be very very good for you 11:19 so I encourage you guys to start implementing this in your life so I 11:23 might be grateful for my family my husband my beautiful children but 11:28 sometimes I’m just grateful for my warm fuzzy blanket I’m rafting or the clean 11:32 air and breathing or you know the coffee that’s brewing in in the downstairs 11:38 kitchen at that moment something like a fuzzy carpet I get a walk on something 11:42 that may not be huge or divine but something that I’m just happy to have in 11:47 my life in that moment and if I really flood myself with all these positive 11:52 thoughts then I decided I’m going to start that day and I’m going to be happy 11:57 because look I’m looking at all the things I have to be grateful for in that 12:01 moment then I step out of my bed I walk towards the bathroom and I stub my big 12:07 toe on the corner of the wall right and in that moment I say well I stubbed my 12:13 toe but you know what it’s not a big deal I have so many other things to be 12:17 grateful for so let’s move on with my day and be happy and it kind of just 12:21 happens like that right now I’m going to describe another scenario for you that’s 12:25 very common in my life as well because I’m not perfect but when I look at the 12:30 world as something of a threat like what is gonna happen that day or what do I 12:34 have to get done that day or oh my goodness there are so many things I have 12:39 to do and so little time so those kinds of morning’s that I wake up to the alarm 12:44 screaming at me and suddenly this list of things goes off in my brain and that 12:48 all the things I need to accomplish that day kind of like this morning when I 12:52 woke up to do this whole lecture and then I would 12:55 to feel get all those feelings that of things I haven’t done and need to do 13:01 where do I need to go and get the kids ready for school and then I get into 13:05 this fear state right and when I get into this fear state I pop out of my bed 13:11 I jumped towards the bathroom because I’m already running late and I stub my 13:14 toe on the wall and then I feel like the world is against me and I’m gonna have a 13:18 bad day and I have all these things to accomplish and this is just the last 13:22 thing I need to start my day off with right so you can see how how you are 13:28 feeling can be translated in your your emotions and how you act for that day 13:34 it’s almost like my emotions leading up to that moment fed into me reacting to 13:38 that stubbed toe and so you really do have that power to change so many things 13:44 in your life by changing your perception just clouding your minds with positive 13:49 thoughts so you see the world a little differently as opposed to flooding it 13:54 with those negative thoughts so now let’s talk a little bit more about the 13:58 science and what kind of happens in the body because we do understand that 14:02 there’s a connection in the way we behave and to the way that our body 14:06 behaves so in our body there’s this gland that sits right above the kidney 14:11 it’s about a walnut size plant called your adrenal glands does anybody heard 14:14 of your adrenal gland some of my patients do yeah we’ve talked about it 14:18 so your adrenal glands have two parts the outer shell and the inner core now 14:24 the outer shell secretes or releases two key hormones that I want to talk about 14:29 cortisol and DHEA and the inner core releases two that you may know about 14:36 already norepinephrine and epinephrine you guys heard of those terms now you 14:41 might have heard them like the muse of the world of adrenaline have you heard 14:46 of the adrenaline rush and remember the base of that word is a dream 14:51 adrenaline adrenal so adrenaline or the adrenal glands activate when your body 14:57 perceives any sort of stress so historically it was a tiger right we 15:02 always talk about this tiger situation you see that Tiger your eyes see the 15:06 tiger your brain perceives that tiger it says oh no there is fear I have fear for 15:12 potential danger I must change my situation to get myself out of that 15:16 situation and it sends a signal so my brain and eyes perceive this it’s a 15:21 signal down to the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands and start to release 15:25 these hormones of survival in order to set aside the caste cascade of 15:30 everything else we must survive this moment right when the adrenals is not 15:35 overly activated from Krissie of stress the adrenal has a chance to function 15:39 normally every single day like we have them they’re not overly used hopefully 15:44 so it does not put out excess levels of these hormones and we can live a long 15:50 normal functioning life so remember that your body is designed to handle a 15:54 certain amount of stress in those situations but if it’s overwhelmed 15:58 constantly with this stress these adrenal systems we have the ability to 16:03 create this dysfunction in the body with the adrenal glands and it is normal to 16:09 have stress in our lives that’s why they’re there that’s why we have these 16:12 glands but the goal is not to have unnecessary stress so cortisol being a 16:19 stress hormone is actually coming out to protect you it does this because it 16:24 perceives that you must need something for the danger that you’re receiving so 16:28 it increases does anybody know what cortisol increases sugar and fat because 16:36 it assumes you need energy to run from that Tiger okay it puts you in rescue 16:42 mode and it works with that adrenaline to make sure that you can run and fight 16:46 and survive that tiger it also tries to soothe the body in a certain way because 16:52 it knows that if it kicks up at this storm in your body to fight the tiger or 16:58 do what it need to do it has a bit ability to calm you down as well it 17:02 directs the immune system and it actually directs all other hormones in 17:07 the body it takes over because the body has decided when your brain perceives 17:12 that stress it sees everything else needs to change to adjust to that 17:16 perceived danger now the opposites for the counterbalance to this 17:20 cortisol is DHEA have any of you heard of that 17:25 Samiha now DJ is another hormone that is released by the outer cortex of the 17:32 adrenal glands and it is what helps counterbalance that cortisol so cortisol 17:36 that stressor spots DHEA we kind of call the anti stress so remember cortisol 17:42 comes out whenever this stress arises and remember it could be that good 17:45 stress of got that job you know or I’m gonna have to work harder to demand for 17:51 that promotion or could it be a bad stress or any demand for a change in our 17:55 normal routine no DHEA once the cortisol comes out helps to counter that effect 18:01 so it is that anti stress hormone and actually it’s linked to anti aging um so 18:07 you can look at the levels of DHEA and the higher the numbers the better you 18:13 can think of it as they haven’t been used up trying to counterbalance the 18:16 cortisol that’s been released constantly and because the cortisol hasn’t come out 18:20 constantly there hasn’t been a ton of perceived stress so it tends to be a 18:25 calming type of hormone now bit of caution I don’t want you all to say Oh 18:29 DHEA is wonderful let me go to a health food store to start taking a ton of DHEA 18:34 because it has anti-aging benefits it doesn’t work out that way we have to 18:39 make sure and respect the body it has a certain balance that we want to achieve 18:44 and we all know that more something is not always better right so you always 18:49 want to make sure that you take a look at these with a qualified health care 18:52 professional to see if having DHEA supplementation is right for you now we 18:57 are constantly bombarded with things like poor sleep in this country noise 19:03 pollution air pollution diet the standard American diet or the 19:08 diet we call it anger sadness poor social relationship Facebook Likes 19:13 someone didn’t like my facebook you know post or whatever nutritional 19:17 deficiencies worry all these things whether they are physical or emotional 19:21 bombard us and the barn bombard our reserves for that demand for change and 19:27 you can see so much of your control has to do with your brain and proceed the 19:33 perception of that stress and how it sees things differently so that your 19:37 adrenal glands have that chance to rest sometime so this is what we’re gonna 19:40 talk about how we perceive that stress depicts whether that brain signals those 19:45 adrenal glands or not because we see what happens when we activate those 19:49 adrenal glands all the time you know we live in a culture of go go go we don’t 19:54 take vacations in America like Europe takes a month off every year you know so 19:58 our level of stress is completely different than it was 100 to 200 years 20:04 ago they didn’t have all this pesticides they spray on the food the air 20:07 pollutants the 40-hour work weeks you know they were out in nature more 20:13 connecting with the earth and it’s not just what we think in terms of burning 20:18 out but let’s look at some specific things when your brain commands your 20:22 adrenals and your adrenal remembers the conductor of all these other functions 20:27 in the body as long as your body is communicating well it tells your brain 20:31 okay this is what we decided based on what you think now this is what happens 20:36 when your dream of lands get activated too often remember we said that it 20:40 increases which ones oh well but what sugar and fat okay so it increases blood 20:51 sugar but it also can break down muscle for glutamine now glutamine is important 20:58 for lining repair so it’s trying to I mean this is a survival mode it’s trying 21:03 to help you with what it anticipates you will need in that state of stress and 21:08 remember it will increase body fat in case you need some storage in case you 21:13 haven’t eaten in a few days because back then it used to be a stress 21:17 response to starvation in case you haven’t so it is anticipating that maybe 21:25 you need that extra fuel for your system to survive those few days if you got 21:30 caught by that tiger and someone’s looking at it for you for a few days it 21:33 gives you everything you need to get to that survival mode until you can rest so 21:40 you may have some extra body fat if you’re constantly in a state of stress 21:45 and this is one of the reason why it’s so hard for people to lose weight when 21:49 they’re constantly in the state of stress and then also breaks down bone 21:53 for calcium now let’s look at this even more I want to see what else happens 21:57 when we’re just constantly in this state of adrenaline rush and go go go well if 22:02 you keep stressing if you keep thinking you need change more help is on the way 22:07 your adrenals will keep giving you what you asked for constantly they’re 22:11 constantly on which is what we see all the time in our practice so it reduces 22:15 your thyroid function it reduces your antibody production these are like 22:20 secret weapons in your immune system that help fight infection so it will 22:23 reduce your overall immunity especially in your guts I love talking 22:28 about the gut we should do a gut classroom your gut is so important to 22:32 your whole immune system and your whole and moon’ system starts to weaken and 22:36 we’ve seen autoimmune diseases very prevalent especially in the Midwest so 22:41 let’s see how those changes affect you for instance if you have prolonged 22:46 storage of fat because your adrenals are always on you can see how that will 22:51 cause weight issues that we have in our country right now 22:54 we can’t deny that right how about blood sugar imbalances at the adrenal glands 22:58 cause when it’s constantly activated blood sugar goes up this can explain why 23:03 we have diabetes and metabolic syndrome and is on the rise in our country how 23:08 about the loss of muscle and the under active thyroid that explains weight gain 23:12 but it also explains how we age much quicker now we injure must easier and we 23:18 have less longevity less good years of life my philosophy I said up right 23:23 today my goal in life is to live long and die short in our country right now 23:29 I’m seeing it constantly we are living short and dying long because of all of 23:34 the chronic issues we’re dealing with with our health and wellness and cancer 23:39 used to be a disease of seniors and we’re starting to see that wearing down 23:43 our bodies even earlier now we talked about the loss of bone and how that 23:48 explains earlier bone diseases we’re seeing and then we all know that when we 23:52 deplete our immune system from stress we get sicker easier so you can see how 23:57 this all works back and forth when your body helped but when you’re buying 24:01 health is better that helps your brain health and your adrenal health but if 24:05 your brain health is better and your perception of stress is better then that 24:09 helps your adrenal glands and can help your overall body so it’s very simple 24:14 when you think about this to start implementing this in your life today 24:19 before you leave here we could be all stressed about the ice storm that’s 24:23 probably coming but we could just take a breath break do the style take a deep 24:27 breath know that if we drive slowly and carefully we can a better chance of 24:34 getting home safely tonight right so what else can we do besides start to 24:39 change this mindset of how we perceive stress sleep is very important 24:45 sleeping seven to nine hours of night and practice relaxation techniques turn 24:49 off the computers turn off the TV that’s over stimulating you know for you’re 24:55 watching a scary movie that’s already sending you in the state of adrenaline 24:58 rush you know I tried to read a book for 20 minutes before I go to bed just to 25:03 kind calm my mind to calm my body and prepare me for that sleep and usually I 25:08 get to a pager I can’t even read anymore so I got to go to bed anyway anyways try 25:12 to write down things and make a to-do list if you’re worried that you won’t 25:16 remember something I mean I’ve woken up in the middle of the night and like oh 25:19 my god do that tomorrow right this I got it email that person you know so start 25:23 to write it down create checklists so you’re not constantly trying to keep it 25:26 in your brain and on that constant state of stress and remember that food is 25:31 information for your rina blends and this is really and it’s 25:36 so it’s really smart to eat breakfast and not those were fine foods like 25:40 processed bagels and cereals and doughnuts but and those are not the 25:45 ideal breakfast because they’re gonna spike your blood sugar and then your 25:47 adrenals are going to respond right but they really work those those kind of 25:52 Penta feeds really work your adrenal glands unnecessarily so eat more fruits 25:56 and vegetables and eat less sweets and sugary drinks how about eating protein 26:01 with each meal to help regulate your blood sugar a little bit more we want to 26:04 limit caffeine and alcohol again because you tend to those tend to act as 26:08 stimulants in the body and tend to overwork the adrenal glands and last but 26:12 not least eat good fats yes I’m telling you to eat fat things like salmon fats 26:18 from nuts and seeds avocados and try to avoid things like fried foods tomorrow’s 26:24 Friday do not go to Friday night fish fry and all those bad fats you can read 26:28 labels if it says trans fats not good and remember how you think and how you 26:36 and feel absolutely determines how your adrenal glands behave long-term so think 26:44 about how adjusting how you perceive that world so you can be in that same 26:49 world but start seeing things differently 26:51 remember I’m hoping that not that you’re not only incorporating that deep 26:56 breathing techniques to help your drina’s in your brain by not seeing such 27:00 a stressful state in the world but you’re actively incorporating daily eye 27:05 things to find peace with yourself and in this world whether you’re doing it 27:09 through tolerance and acceptance and compassion and and to end this I’d like 27:15 for my portion and I like to quote the words of a very relaxed man who lived 27:20 the wonderful age of 100 George Burns he’s a comedian 27:25 anybody know him he said if you ask what the single most important key to 27:30 longevity I would have to say is avoiding worry stress and tension and if 27:37 you didn’t ask me I’d still have to say it so he understood that a big part of 27:42 this health was just happy a different perspective so I hope that 27:46 you have the ability to look at your life make those stressors turn it to 27:50 potential stressors and then no stressors because you have a different 27:54 way of looking at the world look at it look at the way you sleep the way you 27:59 move the way you manage your stress and a way to help yourself with your 28:03 condition or symptoms long-term thank you I’m gonna hand this over to dr. 28:07 Byron he’s gonna get into the nitty-gritty I had the fun card of just 28:12 some fun stuff we get to talk about so come on up hello again everyone I am dr. 28:25 Rudy Byron and I’m the position here at byron health and healing center it’s an 28:31 integrated medical practice it’s a lot of fun 28:35 I’ve been practicing integrative medicine now for about six years prior 28:40 to that practiced as a traditional physician for about twelve years and our 28:47 talked to my of course is centered around anxiety anxiety as you know is a 28:54 very common symptom in our society it’s extremely common it’s one of the most 28:59 common symptoms that I see in my practice so this discussion is very much 29:05 necessary for us as a matter of fact we off we have a huddle myself dr. Brown 29:11 and dr. Farr huddle up at the beginning of the year to discuss what we’re going 29:16 to talk about and primarily those those discussions or the subjects I should say 29:20 stem from what our patients come in with and and anxiety was literally the first 29:26 subject that we thought of that that we would agree upon to talk about first 29:30 because in fact it’s probably the most common symptom that exists I would say 29:36 that’s number one and number two is probably coughing colds right among 29:41 among many other things of course in our practices so anxiety is front and center 29:46 for everyone in this room and in our society well anxiety dr. Park talked a 29:53 bit about the definition xiety essentially anxiety is a mood 29:59 disorder that is a is a response to something our body is responding to 30:06 something so it’s important for us to listen what is our with our body 30:12 responding to when we are driving a car and the engine light comes on how many 30:19 people ignore it right we’re not supposed to ignore that we don’t just 30:24 put tape over the warning light for the engine in the car and keep driving we 30:29 actually stop looking listen write saying do I hear any noise or sounds 30:33 under the under the hood are the brakes working as a car starting right don’t 30:38 have enough gas etc anxiety is real it’s our body’s way of speaking to us there 30:46 are books written about love languages right the love language well what how 30:51 does our body speak to us it speaks to us through our senses and our feelings 30:56 it’s important for us to pay attention to those our body is always right it 31:01 will never guide us in the wrong direction we may not want to listen to 31:05 it but we should definitely pay attention the this talk tonight really 31:14 this presentation is really about the quote unquote human perspective on this 31:19 on this subject mood disorders of course such as anxiety have a direct impact on 31:29 our behavior it causes us to feel impulsive causes us to feel scared as 31:36 dr. dr. farm mentioned earlier it affects our gut right when we’re when 31:40 we’re anxious our body could care less about digesting our food in fact we 31:44 typically cannot digest our food right and walk around with the not type 31:48 feeling in our stomach no thanks for that that meal I’m gonna pass on that it 31:54 affects our cognition our brain function and many of us will come to the doctor 31:58 and say Oh dr. Byron I’m having brain fog right say I can’t concentrate 32:03 so anxiety is literally front and center for us once again it’s an extremely 32:09 common complaint in the office when we talk 32:12 about the human perspective fear of anxiety let’s look at look at this from 32:19 the perspective of our physical being the physical human being there are 32:24 particular glands and organs that express anxiety very well and are kind 32:31 of the chiefs of the of the expression of anxiety for us the Chiefs to make 32:35 sure that warning light is lit for us on our quote-unquote human dashboard and 32:42 what are those organs and glands well we’re gonna we’re going to choose just a 32:46 couple tonight the first organ is act firstly we will talk about a gland 32:51 special gland that has a very important role with respect to anxiety that gland 32:59 is the thyroid gland the thyroid gland is called the gland of our emotions and 33:07 when we talk about emotions we’re talking about e – motion everybody said 33:14 with me E – motion that’s energy in motion energy 33:20 in motion our bodies are in part electrical beings we’re wearing part 33:26 electrical beings therefore we need energy we need electricity if the 33:30 voltage is low in our bodies our body will sound the alarm the engine light 33:35 will come on if our body has too much voltage if there’s a power surge again 33:40 the engine light will come on and say ok maybe we ought to go to the car dealer 33:45 and have them take a take a look at this the thyroid gland the thyroid gland is a 33:51 gland that’s located in our neck and it looks like a butterfly right flies like 33:58 a butterfly stings like a bee right butterfly when the butterflies flapping 34:03 its wings just right that butterfly is gracefully moving throughout its 34:08 environment the butterfly is very slow and sluggish we might say that butterfly 34:13 is sick a butterfly when it has a slow motion that’s indicative of 34:20 quote-unquote high ball thyroidism luggage thyroid low-voltage not enough 34:26 thyroid electricity electrical energy thyroid hormone electrical energy being 34:30 transmitted throughout the body the body will then say hey we don’t like this 34:35 feeling that’s like the car not having enough voltage the car is gonna not it’s 34:40 gonna shake a little bit not enough electricity what do we do we press on 34:43 the gas pedal a little bit you know let’s give it some more gas right our 34:47 body is sending us a signal our body will say oh I’m anxious I’m anxious some 34:51 why am i anxious perhaps it’s because I don’t have enough energy by ROI gland 34:57 again looks like what again a butterflies located in our neck there 35:02 there a special butterfly called the monarch butterfly correct monarch 35:08 butterfly I mean people know about monarch butterflies there are large 35:12 butterflies very very beautiful I mean people know they’re in the midst of 35:16 potentially becoming extinct they’re potentially becoming extinct why anybody 35:24 know that’s the pesticides that’s exactly right 35:29 they’re they they live their environment their primary environment is the 35:34 milkweed tree the milk question say tree but the milkweed and milkweed is dying 35:41 wise milkweed dying because of chemicals pesticides harmful pesticides and 35:47 chemicals that are unfortunately affecting the monarch butterflies 35:51 environment living environment well again our thyroid gland is what do we 35:56 say the gland of our emotions it looks just like a butterfly and in fact it is 36:02 susceptible to harmful chemicals why our thyroid gland is a reservoir of 36:09 electricity it holds electricity it stores 36:13 electricity here that means it has a highly negative charged negative in this 36:17 term means positive okay like negative means good I should say so it holds a 36:22 lot of electricity here negative charge attracts what kind of charge positive 36:28 negative charge attracts positive charges 99% of these toxins pesticides 36:35 herbicides environmental toxins toxic heavy metals 36:38 etc are positively charged that’s why if we get exposed to radiation what’s the 36:45 first land to go the thyroid gland right because the thyroid gland is literally 36:51 absorbing these toxins and if I Roy gland absorbs these toxins that sends us 36:56 a signal it’s not going to just sit back and take it it’s going to send us a 36:59 signal our voltage will go down and the dashboard light comes on says hey I’m 37:07 anxious something’s wrong you better I’m I don’t feel good I can’t sleep I can’t 37:11 eat I start gaining weight because I’m not I don’t have enough energy in motion 37:17 throughout the body got it so my emotions become affected 37:22 understood the there is a particular organ that is the chief of our emotions 37:36 there’s a particular organ that is the chief of our emotions we talked about a 37:40 gland that is the chief of our emotions there’s an organ the corollary organ 37:45 that plays that role in the body anybody know what that organ is want to take a 37:48 guess the I didn’t either that the brain very good guess however and the organ is 37:59 the liver the organ is the liver I’m surprising the ones that the heart right 38:04 emotions energy in motion but guess what the livers job is to protect the heart 38:11 this is primary chief job to protect the heart the liver the liver what’s the 38:18 root word of liver that shouldn’t be too hard 38:20 say it together very good how do we know we are alive how do we know we’re living 38:29 because we sense that we have a life we’re breathing we can touch feel 38:35 understood we sense we have these senses that we 38:39 are in fact limbering okay we’re living we have that sense we have sensations 38:45 the liver literally has it’s all finale and it will speak to us it will 38:52 say hey this is what’s going on that’s what’s going on deliver what’s special 38:57 about the liver the liver is a reservoir for especially our negative emotions 39:05 it holds positive emotions too but it’s especially important to know that it’s 39:09 the seat of our negative emotions so some of those negative emotions that dr. 39:14 Farr mentioned such as fear worry impulsivity phobias they get stored in 39:24 the liver the liver will hold them why because the liver is the number-one 39:30 organ of detoxification in the body and it’s not just detoxifying physical 39:37 substances it detoxifies and or stores or holes negative emotions as well and 39:44 that’s important to understand because when we’re for example going through a 39:51 quote-unquote detox detoxification many of us would begin to feel things that we 39:56 said oh my gosh where in the heck did that come from I haven’t felt that in a 39:59 long time where this headache this headache is occurring what the heck is 40:02 going on and and we may sometimes get angry be short-tempered with people feel 40:07 irritable etc that’s because the liver is releasing a lot of these negative 40:13 emotions as we undergo what we think is a physical detox to clean us out when 40:24 the liver gets exposed to quote-unquote toxins and or and or emotional negative 40:32 energy the liver will do its best it’s going to do its best to either detoxify 40:38 it if they can or if the liver gets tired because we’ve been eating too much 40:41 junk in the trunk liver says I’ve had enough liver has the 40:45 best friend his best friend is exactly what dr. Tara told you it was and that 40:51 liver delivers best friend is the adrenal glands the adrenal glands so 40:58 when the liver is struggling we’re exposed to really significant 41:02 stressors and Liber stick sends out a signal for anxiety says hey you get you 41:08 know get dr. pyar an anxious about this situation there’s a saber-toothed tiger 41:13 chasing him you shouldn’t just be up here chillin right eating bonbons get 41:17 him stressed get him moving okay the liver will then call upon his buddy 41:23 the adrenal glands and the adrenal glands will send adrenal in to the liver 41:29 to stop up any of that extra stress that the liver couldn’t handle why why would 41:35 the liver do that why would the liver call upon help from the adrenal glands 41:39 to send adrenaline in that scenario because we have to protect the heart and 41:44 the brain from junk in the trunk the body will do any and everything it can 41:49 to support us to keep us going to keep us alive so that we can fulfill the 41:55 purposes for which we are presently here on this planet so it’s important to 42:01 understand that these organs are working and tandem these organs and glands are 42:08 working in tandem to try to keep us healthy to keep our heart functioning 42:12 fully and they will continue to send signals to us to say hey something’s up 42:17 what are some of these quote unquote toxins that can have a direct impact on 42:24 the liver liver gets tired because it’s constantly detoxifying right besides has 42:31 to detoxify food environmental toxins household cleaning agents you know air 42:36 poor air rock driving behind a semi diesel truck that’s spewing out you know 42:42 it’s black smoke so one of the most common toxins that I see in the office 42:50 extremely common that has a direct impact on anxiety is copper toxicity 42:55 that is an excessive amount high amount of copper most people have never heard 43:01 of that before how many people have heard of copper toxicity very good about 43:06 half the half the hands came up in this room that is that is by far and away one 43:11 of the most reasons I see for anxiety in my office 43:16 what what’s the deal with copper copper is a mineral it’s a metal that is that 43:24 comes from the earth our body needs copper to utilize for the conduction of 43:31 electricity just like we have copper wire coming out of these electrical 43:35 ports copper wire is conducting electricity to our electronic devices 43:40 giving us power correct our body uses copper in the same way to conduct energy 43:45 again conducting energy because we need that copper is stored where and uh liver 43:52 again the all-important liver if for many reasons we get too much copper 43:59 stored in the body and there are many reasons for that if we get too much 44:03 copper stored in the body that copper will leak out either our body says hey 44:08 you got to go so we’re going to try to detox it out copper typically goes out 44:12 through our bowels in the urine and or hair or skin if our body is not able to 44:18 detoxify very well because we’re under quote-unquote stress then the body shuts 44:23 down the process of detoxification and causes that copper to go deep it will 44:29 dive deep into tissues and it will stay there but does our body like extra 44:34 copper floating around no if we put extra copper in that core that goes to 44:40 our electronic devices such as our cool iPads and iPhones what happens to that 44:45 computer or that fall when we turn it on with extra copper wire and then it blows 44:50 up right it’ll short-circuit that’s exactly what it does in our bodies it 44:55 goes to special tissues and special organs and literally blows them up 45:00 copper is a conductor of what electricity so it likes highly 45:07 electrical places in the body specifically places like the brain the 45:14 guts among many other places including female organs which we’re not going to 45:21 talk about today we’ll save that for another lecture the the point 45:25 here is that copper is feminine copper is a feminine mineral our females more 45:32 emotional than men yes so a woman will come in and say dr. Byron I don’t know 45:37 what’s going on but this PMS my husband just says you know I gotta I gotta go 45:42 see somebody so I’m coming to see you dr. B anxiety nervousness copper is 45:48 stimulating too much electrical power surge going to the emotional centers of 45:53 the body boom people blow up men and women by the way 45:57 I mean it just pick on our ladies so copper toxicity is a major major source 46:03 that most people are not familiar with it’s very common and very easily treated 46:09 and addressed the author of toxins all the toxins remember where is copper 46:17 stored again deliver which means we really must take care of our what 46:22 delivering if you are anxious if you’re anxious where you know somebody who’s 46:28 anxious think number one is deliver focus on the liver speak to the liver 46:36 the liver has a mind all it’s long it talks to you all the time talk back to 46:41 it say liver I love you thank you so much liver for for assisting me to live 46:45 my best life and the liver will appreciate you for it’s gonna work 46:49 harder give the liver what it once it needs love and we’re gonna talk about 46:53 some of those things at the end in addition other toxins that caused the 47:00 liver to have to work hard ultimately let leading to significant symptoms of 47:04 anxiety mercury high on the list very very high on the list when we look at 47:12 professionals that have a high depression rate and a high suicide rate 47:17 what’s the number one profession dentistry why because they make dental 47:24 amalgams out of mercury right it’s a large portion of the dental amalgam 47:31 dental fillings were referring to mercury is a major major toxin 47:37 people do not know that it’s extremely common everybody in this room has a 47:43 significant amount of mercury again we’re as much of that mercury sitting in 47:47 our livers in our livers and there was someone in there in the crowd here a 47:53 large 50,000 seating arena without a doubt liver 47:57 I’m the mercury uh in the teeth and she’s exactly right yes it’s in the 48:02 teeth and the dental fillings among many other places and there are many many 48:06 many ways to get exposed to mercury remember the old felt hats right the old 48:12 felt hats back in the day 1800s oh you guys don’t 48:18 remember that come on belt hats oh these hats they used to wear they may you know 48:23 they have the brim on them they made them with a lining specifically that led 48:31 to those people going mad and they called them Mad Hatter’s and they were 48:35 Mad Hatter’s because there was mercury lining those hats bells quote-unquote 48:40 brims and it led them to go crazy they became significant English that they 48:44 developed significant anxiety depression among other things the Mad Hatter’s the 48:51 liver is extremely important there are other there are other quote-unquote 48:56 agents that have an impact on the liver leading to substantial anxiety that most 49:01 people are not familiar with and that would be infectious agents infectious 49:05 agents such as viruses which virus absolutely love the liver that’s his 49:12 primary home and it’s in just about everybody liver here that agent is 49:17 epstein-barr virus epstein-barr virus everybody’s been exposed everybody has 49:23 it and if our immune systems are strong enough then we’re good we can suppress 49:28 it however epstein-barr is just sitting there waiting in the cut for a stressful 49:33 situation to occur and it will start wreaking havoc and the liver must keep 49:37 it in check the liver must keep it in check if the liver doesn’t can’t keep it 49:41 in check what will deliver do it will call upon his buddy adrenalin to come 49:45 and stop it up slap it around a little bit if there’s if 49:50 dreidel glams a week because we’ve been chronically stressed for a long time the 49:54 liver says okay gonna increase fat the livers just gonna 49:58 get develop more fat around it called fatty liver okay and why would it why 50:05 would the liver develop fat why would why would that why would that occur 50:08 because as dr. Tara said one of fats function is to store toxins so the liver 50:16 gets fat it says okay I’m just gonna put this EBV epstein-barr virus here I’m 50:20 gonna throw some mercury in there I’m gonna throw some dioxin in there I’m 50:23 gonna throw some copper in there okay looks good livers like hey I’m all I’m 50:27 all out of what I can do here can’t continue to detoxify this is this guys 50:31 over here drinking too much this guy’s this guy’s this guy has too much debt 50:35 this guy is working you know eight and eighty hours a week 50:40 right so now our body’s been telling us because we’re anxious our body’s been 50:44 telling us hey slow down get some rest get out of that day do you understand 50:49 but it’s dead we’re like nope gotta go gotta go gotta go gotta go so it’s very 50:55 very important if you don’t take care of your liver what happens it shrinks it 50:59 gets bad and it shrinks and then there’s a rat and we said the live heard what’s 51:02 the what’s the root word of liver to live if the liver is not functioning 51:06 then we all know what happens it’s a rat the liver holds our negative emotions as 51:14 we talked about earlier remember when the liver says all right I quit I’m done 51:19 and the patients struggling and they’re blessed enough to get a liver transplant 51:25 what happens what happens every single patient with the liver transplant has 51:32 some aspect of their personality change every single one of them has an aspect 51:39 of their personality that changes why because those emotions from that other 51:45 liver gets transferred to the new person do you understand the importance the 51:53 need to make sure that we’re doing these things that dr. Tara mentioned resting 51:59 meditation live in a clean lifestyle it’s extremely important it otherwise 52:06 our body is telling us that anxiety do not ignore it do not ignore the engine 52:11 life is one of the most common symptoms that exist in any of our doctors offices 52:25 there’s a condition when the liver says I’m done there’s a condition everyone if 52:31 you have a pen otherwise put it to memory there’s a condition called Nash 52:36 in a sh Nash and you’ll have to write this down because it’s a scientific term 52:45 Nash is an acronym for non state oh I’m sorry non-alcoholic steatohepatitis 52:59 non-alcoholic stay at OU ste ATO hepatitis so right away we see itís in 53:10 there for the liver right so inflammation of the liver inflammation 53:15 of the liver what a stay at amine fatty fatty liver right away non-alcoholic 53:22 means what is not from drinking alcohol 30 million people have that condition 53:28 most don’t know ninety percent of them don’t know thirty million people 53:33 I didn’t say three hundred I didn’t say three thousand I didn’t say three 53:37 hundred thousand said thirty million 53:43 that is that is a condition that leads to end-stage liver disease in stage 53:49 liver disease means that quiz okay when we talk about anxiety anxiety is an 53:55 early sign that the liver is under stress or duress pay attention to 54:03 anxiety and seek the root cause do not just put tape over the engine warning 54:09 light putting tape over the engine warning light is like saying 54:13 here let me pull out my prescription pad and take this xanax sometimes we need 54:19 there’s an X don’t get me wrong sometimes you need that but if you stop 54:23 there eventually the engine will fail because 54:26 it was not attended to medication we need sometimes I don’t get me wrong 54:32 remember I’m an MD I pull out the prescription pad occasionally because 54:36 sometimes people need the support so don’t get me wrong but some of that 54:42 medication is very dangerous some of that tape you put over and you can’t see 54:46 the engine light and this take that completely covers that red light and you 54:50 just kind of ignore it person will get hooked on it they’re like I’m depending 54:53 on this on this car to get me to work and I’m just going to keep going and 54:56 ignore this this engine light and a person will get hooked on their 54:59 medication right they get hooked on the medication now let’s go to Part B 55:04 anxiety Part B they get hooked on medication such as xanax etc I was the 55:12 medical director of a behavioral health clinic for several years for two years 55:16 actually three four three years these patients were hooked on medications like 55:21 xanax for example or clonazepam etc they were out there partying with it or 55:26 abusing it and they would end up being forced to come to the clinic for many 55:32 other reasons whether it was because they they had to do it to keep their job 55:35 or or the judicial system got in the way they said hey you better do this or jail 55:40 time etc so now as a physician I couldn’t prescribe that medication so 55:46 what did I prescribe what would physicians do in that scenario okay use 55:51 alternative medications for anxiety again all we’re doing is putting a patch 55:55 putting a patch on giving them a patch correct putting them but you got to do 55:59 something because they’re seriously anxious cannot function it adversely 56:04 affects activities of daily living what would we do we’ve one of the options we 56:09 have is to give them an antihistamine give them an antihistamine medication 56:16 what does histamine have to do with anxiety anybody know what does histamine 56:22 have to do with anxiety what do we know about histamine during the 56:27 elbows seasons spring and fall you may see many people doing what coughing 56:32 sniffing sneezing from what seasonal allergy seasonal allergies what happens 56:38 to histamine during that time histamine increases during that time and we say oh 56:45 you just take what what do you take an anti histamine what what’s anti which 56:50 had asked me what tip people typically take benadryl right among others 56:56 okay histamine and we just say yeah we just kind of go with the flow take an 57:04 antihistamine and don’t really think what is histamine okay histamine is a 57:09 neurotransmitter neuro nerve transmitter messenger so it’s a messenger for our 57:16 nervous system histamine is a neurotransmitter it is a messenger for 57:24 our nervous system so if histamine goes up what happens the nervous system what 57:30 happens to the nervous system it gets stimulated 57:33 it’s a stimulator for our nervous system if histamine goes up really high what 57:38 happens it gets really stimulated a person will get super anxious as a 57:43 matter of fact they can get paranoid okay when you take benadryl how do you 57:50 feel you feel super awake or or you feel what drowsy so what does it do calm you 57:57 down you get that histamine down and calms you down now what is the classic 58:02 symptom of somebody who has allergy symptoms it’s a classic symptom classic 58:10 nasal correct and what about nasal would it be more 58:13 descriptive nasal what nasal drip nasal drainage what we call that mucus runny 58:20 nose mucus right so when histamine goes up it does what – mucus it increases 58:28 mucus right it increases mucus what does that have to do with anything what does 58:32 it have to do with anything it increases mucus if I spill a bottle 58:39 of ketchup on a white pristine marble floor I need 58:44 to clean that up okay I’m clumsy I need to clean up that ketchup I just build on 58:50 this white marble floor first thing I’m going to do is get a mop and I’m gonna 58:55 do what with the mop wedeck’s I’m gonna wet them up 58:59 that’s mucus your wedding something okay your wedding something number two if I 59:06 clean that wet if I use that wet mop alone to clean the ketchup on the white 59:12 christine floor will it fully clean that floor no everybody said knowing they’re 59:18 100 percent correct what do you need to add to the mop you can’t add right a 59:26 cleanser correct you have to add a cleanser to clean that up 59:30 when mucus drift down in your mouth and don’t tell me it’s never dripped down in 59:34 your mouth and you’ve never tasted it drip down in your mouth what does it 59:39 taste like to taste salty taste salty why would the body use histamine to 59:47 increase mucus and add some salt to it remember we’re 70% saltwater we’re 59:55 seventy percent saltwater so the body will fall upon our own natural salt add 60:00 some mucus to it to clean junk in the trunk to clean toxins to detoxify if you 60:09 have an allergy you’ve got a toxin if we’re anxious the body will increase 60:15 histamine to try to mop up the place clean it up because we don’t have enough 60:20 key nutrients and protectors to do the job so the body has to revert to using 60:26 mucus through histamine and histamine our body’s trying to help us out but 60:31 it’s going to use this histamine to stimulate the nervous system which 60:38 subsequently leads to what symptom anxiety patient walks into office dr. 60:43 Byron I’m so nervous I’ll know what to do I can’t even sleep da da da da and 60:46 you’re talking fast and there you know fidgeting and and you’re talking about 60:50 this that and the other all at the same time how many times it happened in your 60:54 right right five times a day that’s exactly right and we wonder what’s going 61:00 on we have to listen stop look and listen to the body sit back and say what 61:06 is in my environment what am I putting in my body talk to the liver ask the 61:09 liver to reveal what’s going on the liver will talk to you it will reveal it 61:13 I was eating gluten-free waffle in my home couple years ago eating gluten-free 61:25 waffle and I noticed that I shouldn’t say I noticed I’m the first one awake in 61:30 my house when the in the kitchen preparing breakfast having a gluten-free 61:35 waffle among other things of course I have my cook veggies going everybody 61:38 should know that I got veggies going to so having my gluten-free waffle so I’m 61:43 making the mix and I noticed actually I didn’t notice my wife said hey she 61:49 doesn’t call me dr. B at home but she says hey dr. B you did you know you’re 61:54 coughin in the morning and I’m a typical guy what do I say of course not denied 62:00 right I’m like no I’m not coughing what are you talking about next morning oh my 62:06 gosh she’s right I’m coffee so I noticed that when I got near the waffle maker I 62:13 would cough I there wouldn’t even be any batter in the waffle maker but I would 62:18 cough right there now I could ignore that I could say oh 62:23 I’m just there’s nothing but I’m very perceptive I said something’s up 62:27 something’s up with this waffle maker it must be the waffle mix so it’s it looked 62:33 at the waffle mix it’s organic gluten free blah blah blah like hmm I can’t 62:38 figure this out so I call it upon one of my colleagues 62:41 had one of my colleagues take a look and she said oh dr. pyre come on why are you 62:47 really here this is too easy it was the buttermilk it was the 62:51 buttermilk my body was very sensitive to the buttermilk 62:54 I was coffee okay so what did I do get the gluten-free dairy-free version 63:02 guess what I could enjoy my waffle 63:06 my body was talking to me it was giving me a signal specifically to say hey stop 63:13 looking listen pay attention so that I don’t keep asking my liver to do the 63:19 work do you understand my liver had to break down that buttermilk it was not 63:23 happy said that’s enough enough enough dr. Bui miss I’m gonna make you coffee 63:26 okay and instead of just taking a cough medicine or taking a quote-unquote 63:31 supplement for it I look for the source okay I didn’t just say okay here here we 63:35 go let’s pitless let me take let me you know yeah keep it moving keep it moving 63:43 dr. B okay let’s transition to this transition to what can we do what can we 63:54 do about this anxiety so there’s a lot of this talk about you know breathing 63:58 well listening to our bodies working on detoxification what can we do so there 64:06 are lots of things lots of easy things in my office I’d like to say press the 64:11 easy button press the easy button what are some easy things we can do dr. Tara 64:15 mentioned several of those take deep breaths slow down pay attention live a 64:23 detoxification lifestyle you must always be in the mode of eating cleanly having 64:31 clean household environment paying special attention to the music you’re 64:37 listening to my daughter reminds me of that all the time because I’m from the 64:41 old school hip-hop era it’s like Doc Byron got to turn the 64:44 Dutchman’s coming dr. B pop it you got to turn that off Mike come on now thank 64:53 God for her cuz otherwise my liver would be pissed 65:00 many people asked me in the office I probably get this question once every 65:07 two to three days because anxiety is so common and so prevalent they asked me 65:11 what about CBD oil how many people have heard of CBD oil right just about all 65:16 the hands come up raise up in the room and see if you know I was relatively new 65:20 relatively new quote-unquote potential healing remedy and one thing I’m going 65:29 to say about that is that CBD oil definitely has some benefits for anxiety 65:36 definitely one of the ways that it works is it works 65:40 and by the way CBD oil for those of you who may not know is in the in the u.s. 65:46 at least is legal from the hemp plant so it’s the plant that it’s a cousin of 65:51 mayor of the marijuana plant that specifically produces something called 65:56 CBD oil cannabidiol oil and that’s one tiny 66:00 component of the many components chemical or vital chemical plant 66:06 components in that particular plant and so CBD oil has been found to help 66:13 regulate the body’s emotional responses and it acts as an adaptogen so that’s 66:20 adaptogenic effects which means that if our body needs to be stimulated it’ll 66:25 stimulate the emotions if the emotions are heightened already and we’re coming 66:30 to the doctor complaining of anxiety it will calm them down so CBD oil has that 66:36 kind of power it’s a it’s what I call a smart plant or some people say a smart 66:41 herb you really can’t mess it up but I want to say a couple important things 66:45 about CBD oil because many people are using it without having a full 66:50 understanding of some other aspects so CBD oil one very important thing to know 66:55 is that the hemp plant specifically is a bio accumulator of toxins that’s what it 67:03 does in nature it grabs onto toxins so what most people don’t know is 67:10 that CBD oil has a massive amount of toxins already so if you’re going to 67:16 embark upon using CBD oil you must be assured that it has been tested and or 67:23 purified from any toxins that’s extremely important otherwise for 67:29 examples in my office I’m not saying this because I read it on somebody’s 67:32 website on somebody’s blog I see it in the office because I test for it so 67:36 you’ll see SuperDuper high levels of aluminum for example you’ll see 67:40 massively high levels of cadmium and there it is right there oh yeah yeah but 67:44 no CBD oil for the last four years you know that cadmium through the roof see 67:49 video tobacco for example hemp plant super-high and cadmium super-high and 67:55 aluminum among other toxins remember in nature that’s what it does in the soil 68:00 you got a marijuana plant or a CBD or I’m sorry hemp plant that’s what it does 68:08 if bioaccumulation will it will magnetically attract the toxins so that 68:13 you can have good quality food around that got it so do your homework on that 68:20 do not just go for the okey doke just take somebody’s random CBD oil 68:24 supplement but it is I do want to say that it is very good and it’s a it’s a 68:29 reasonably good option when you’re using a good product a couple of other things 68:35 regarding beneficial ways to ways to improve anxiety many people are familiar 68:45 with some key nutrients key minerals such as magnesium right magnesium is 68:52 excellent magnesium magnesium has a calming effect on the body so you make a 68:58 muscle that’s calcium relax the muscle that’s magnesium got it contract calcium 69:09 relax magnesium for those of you who are old enough you remember the old school 69:15 commercial Calgon take me away right that’s magnesia 69:21 that’s magnesium doing this work F some salt baths right very 69:26 calming soothing that’s magnesium okay so magnesium can be beneficial it’s not 69:34 as precise as you think though some people quite frankly after testing in my 69:39 office is revealed that it’s not magnesium they need they actually need 69:42 cows and calcium actually has somewhat of a calming effect as well but 69:46 sometimes you just don’t know if you don’t have but if you don’t know if you 69:49 don’t have any testing available at least try some magnesium typically it 69:53 won’t hurt you in most cases and it’s better and especially taking it at night 69:58 before bedtime other things other things some key key nutrients number one stress 70:05 nutrient that in my office ninety-eight percent of people are low 70:10 but the data will tell you that eighty percent of Americans are low I can tell 70:15 you I’ve tested for the last six years ninety-eight percent of people in fact I 70:21 really want to say 99 percent cuz there are only three people in the last six 70:24 years we’ve had a normal level who weren’t already supplementing and that 70:27 is which which vitamin I’m sorry which mineral zinc zinc that was good guess 70:38 zinc zinc so for the most part that zinc responds to stress it’s especially 70:46 important for the adrenal glands it’s especially important for the adrenal 70:52 glands especially important for the liver and then you ask glad you asked 70:56 this question of course which foods are high in zinc right meat meat seafood be 71:04 careful with seafood because seafood contains quite a few toxins as well so 71:08 you got to proceed with caution there but meat does it doesn’t mean you have 71:11 to be a carnivore for example but just I’m just it’s more for sharing 71:15 information you don’t get a lot of zinc and plant products next we talked about 71:23 magnesium zinc calcium oils oils essential oils essential oils these days 71:33 in my opinion because of the changes that we’re seeing in our 71:37 environment these central oils are literally coming to the floor for us 71:41 they are a gift to us they’re a gift to help us deal with all this quote-unquote 71:46 stress I use oils literally every day multiple times a day including on my way 71:52 to work and on my way home oils are very very beneficial for us whether you 71:57 whether they’re used as simply something that’s fun or for therapeutic purposes I 72:03 think that in fact they are essential especially for the rise in problematic 72:09 conditions that we see in our environment so they’re really there to 72:12 help us so we should really become familiar I like to say get familiar with 72:18 the oils which oils what we use essential oils we use to keep us in 72:23 chill mode calming lavender among among many right lavender is very good and 72:30 there there are many others but lavender would be far and it would be by far and 72:34 away number one there are also there are also oils that have quote-unquote 72:42 adapted genic properties meaning you can’t go wrong there like CBD oil if you 72:47 have pure CBD oil or purify CBD oil there are some oils that function that 72:53 way such as copaiba among others copaiba actually has some CBD in it and again if 73:00 you use that from the perspective of a company that offers pure essential oils 73:04 then you’re good that’s another great way to utilize oils to assist in this 73:09 process of dealing with anxiety these are all practical things that you can do 73:14 to allow your body to send in messengers that body gets some lavender in it 73:20 you’re sending that liver some love you’re like yeah that livers like give 73:24 me some more sound like James Brown 73:28 see some some Pete I must be getting old or something else yeah so obviously last 73:37 but not least with anxiety either minimizing and/or avoiding alcohol 73:42 remember alcohols a toxin and it is what depressant so excessive alcohol can be 73:50 very problematic the liver has to detoxify it you often see this believe 73:56 it or not remember the liver is the seat of our negative emotions right so what 74:01 happens what happens person drinks you’ll see some people who get what 74:05 angry they get aggressive they want to fight right that’s the liver the liver 74:11 speaking is deliver although all of the ways that the livers been suppressed and 74:17 now coming out because because the alcohol numbs the nerve so now it just 74:21 starts talking screaming the avoid the excessive stimulants as well so you know 74:30 excessive coffee you know when I worked for that behavioral health program for 74:36 three years nearly every single person either came in with a big coffee mug or 74:42 Mountain Dew if they didn’t smoke they needed a stimulant they weren’t smoking 74:48 they didn’t have a coffee mug if they did not have Mountain Dew on the desk 74:55 they probably did not belong in the program and what what are they really 75:00 telling me what does their body telling me when they’re bringing that stuff in 75:03 that their lowing what energy that low energy is expressed as an emotion energy 75:11 in motion okay so if they were seeing me at byron health and healing clinic my 75:16 job would be to focus on assisting the process of detoxification with the 75:21 central theme of cleansing the liver subsequently boosting their energy 75:28 centers adrenals and thyroid got it that’s the ticket that’s the home run 75:34 hitter right there so again anxiety is extremely common 75:38 have to use tools are very well available to us do not 75:43 ignore your body stop look and listen and last but not least there are a 75:50 couple things on the table on the side there that we use in our practice very 75:57 frequently one is calls endocrine that’s the doTERRA product that’s a great 76:02 product for liver supports I always always always have 100% of my patients 76:09 wants to excuse me on some form of liver support and there are other other things 76:15 a liver is excellent as well that’s another product that’s a pirate health 76:20 and healing specific product that’s extremely good which reminds me another 76:24 source of anxiety that we did not talk about today we’re not going to talk 76:28 about it at any length but I just want to share that it is important for us and 76:32 that is EMF electromagnetic frequencies okay that’s another major major toxin 76:39 that’s relatively new to us over the last you know 15 to 20 years that’s 76:43 increasingly becoming worse and our body has to deal with that so again we’re not 76:47 going to talk about it now but again what can you do you got it you got to 76:50 develop some protective barriers to assist your body to address that there’s 76:57 a bottle of lavender over there as well I think I don’t know what we were 77:00 diffusing tonight so that is the ticket I don’t think I have anything else to 77:11 discuss so thank you for your attention especially with this with a subject such 77:15 as anxiety I mean you know kind of be a debbie downer type of subject but I’m 77:20 you know I get excited about that subject because there are easy tools to 77:25 use to fix it none of us should walk around with any significant anxiety is 77:29 too easy to address if we do really simple things stop look and listen to 77:34 your body and and use some of these tools that we have readily available 77:38 the vast majority of which are are extremely inexpensive some of which are 77:44 free that’s it thank you and welcome and go ahead you’re gonna say we were open 77:55 for questions that’s what I was gonna say to you 77:58 doctor yes yes like a shouldn’t routine should I just force myself to do it push 78:26 past it or should I have you like listening my body getting the sleep and 78:29 sleeping for 30 instead what’s the recommendation for that very good I like 78:37 to say at least from my response dr. Tara is to go with the flow your if your 78:43 body is calling upon the need for more rest you need more rest do not force it 78:49 listen to your body your body saying get the rest take the rest so that you can 78:53 heal that’s extreme it’s a time of healing and rejuvenation 78:57 so if our body is saying we’re tired we need to sleep more and you got to listen 79:02 to it and because it’s saying what it needs in that moment so I would take 79:05 definitely take more time to let your body heal in that time we wanted to add 79:10 something to you reminded me about the importance of the cycle for the liver 79:16 you know a women have menstrual cycle right all men have a site everybody has 79:23 a cycle the liver has a cycle so all of our organs and glands have a cycle the 79:29 livers time the liver has a time in which it sinks it does its best work 79:35 between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. so if you’re waking up between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. 79:40 again stop look and listen say hmm am I in my detoxing something extra and or do 79:48 I have some emotion that I’m not a that I’m not addressing such as resentment 79:52 anger frustration that’s the liver time we live near Milwaukee with Miller time 79:58 no no we just got a jokester over gotta bring you a game when we talk about 80:07 anxiety right you don’t want you don’t want to hear debbie downer 80:09 ha right I hear that multiple times a day is I can’t sleep and I say well what 80:15 time do you have trouble going to sleep they say no I could fall asleep fine I 80:19 wake up in the night and I’m like well what time do you wake up and most people 80:23 will tell me between 1:00 and 3:00 a.m. so on and then I say that’s your liver 80:27 we need to work on your liver No 80:45 that’s a great question what are what what is the best time to eat a meal best 80:50 time to eat a meal technically is between 5 & 7 5 and 7 p.m. which is 80:55 relatively early for many of us in my world that’s definitely early but that’s 81:00 the best time to eat because you need time for the food to digest before you 81:05 go to bed you really go to bed between 8:30 and 10:30 and you know you’re not 81:12 eating until 8 o’clock at night that’s not enough time for the food to digest 81:16 subsequently fool will sit sit and then I also see with people who eat later 81:22 meals they wake up at the middle of the night because their blood sugar will 81:25 spike so that’s another reason why I see patients waking up is because of their 81:29 blood sugar and the time they’re eating and limit the sugars release it will 81:33 wake them up in the middle of the night too and the adrenals respond to that 81:36 because we know sugar increases in the body the adrenal glands are going to 81:40 respond to that too so we wake up in a state of adrenaline still you had a 81:46 question you mentioned that most people are tired with caffeine what would be 81:56 something you was just 82:00 to get energy because I think that’s an epidemic we’re all tired most of us not 82:05 enough sleep but does food also have something to do with our body that it’s 82:10 tired because we’re full of toxins or they think you should have um a good 82:21 question so she she she was saying are there certain folks that so how did 82:28 you say that again sorry I’m like the us multiple questions sorry if she’s saying 82:36 everybody’s tired all the time we say it’ll avoid stimulants like sugar and 82:40 soda how can we keep on going and surviving you know without these 82:46 stimulants that we say to avoid but not just be fatigued all day long well one 82:50 thing is cleaning that liver more detoxification if we clean that liver 82:55 out we’re gonna have more energy and more mental clarity in our energy like 82:59 our whole Energy’s going to improve when we clean that liver out and then so 83:04 foods that we eat that keep continuing to detoxify the body fruits and 83:08 vegetables as one thing and then eating regular in my medical opinion it’s 83:15 eating regular meals throughout the day so I say eat like a bird so you’re 83:19 eating breakfast snack lunch snack dinner to help maintain that blood sugar 83:23 because a lot of the times when our adrenal glands are often our cortisol is 83:28 spiking at odd times in the day usually what happens we eat lunch right we we 83:33 wake up we have energy we start going in the morning we eat lunch and then we get 83:37 this 2 o’clock lull right we’re just like oh my gosh I need Starbucks I need 83:42 sugar I need something because both that’s an 83:44 adrenal issue but if we’re eating poor quality foods or our blood sugar is not 83:49 regulated throughout the day then that will cause imbalances in that and we’ll 83:54 get that lull in the afternoon where we feel like we need that stimulant so 83:57 eating low glycemic foods routinely throughout the day is going to help 84:02 maintain that blood sugar eating a protein with every meal to help maintain 84:05 that blood sugar with a good-quality fat is gonna help keep your blood sugar so 84:10 it’s not jumping and dropping and jumping which puts 84:12 extra stress on our body so that can give you more energy is just regulating 84:16 your diet throughout the day cleanly to help detoxify the body but also to 84:21 maintain that blood sugar I was your second second that by adding veggies 84:27 green leafy veggies especially remember we get energy from the Sun 84:32 photosynthesis right photosynthesis so first first order of business for planet 84:37 to grow in these water so make sure that we’re well hydrated that’s that’s the 84:41 most important aspect when it comes to food most of us walk around dehydrated 84:45 on me up a couple folks in the back we’re drinking their big jugs a lot 84:48 that’s that’s the critical piece staying well hydrated number two these these 84:53 vegetables especially the green leafies are storing Sun energy right they’re 84:58 storing Sun energy guess what that energy gets incorporated into our bodies 85:03 in fact giving us energy so eating eating plenty of green leafies 85:08 throughout the day cooked combination raw I make sure that 85:12 I have some form of vegetables especially some green leafies at least 85:16 twice a day at least partially for lunch and for sure with dinner so and I also 85:22 have a vegetables for breakfast as well so I make sure to stay stored up one on 85:29 the on the Sun energy boosts that retain that Sun energy smoothies are a great 85:34 way for morning breakfasts to get your veggies and you could throw spinach in 85:38 there you know you can get those veggies in I make an avocado spinach smoothie 85:43 and it’s awesome I love it I just made it up oh but basically if you all want 85:53 it it’s like almond or coconut milk great and I do like a whole avocado I do 85:58 a handful of spinach in there I do some coconut oil too to get me some fats and 86:04 then some honey some local honey it kind of gives it a sweetness but it is like 86:10 and then blend it all up it is so good I swear I believe it every day and I 86:15 yeah I made it up so I don’t know there’s wasn’t a recipe I thought I just 86:20 made it up but yes that’s a great question so our question was what are 86:33 some of the things that we can do to begin to detoxify our liver so number 86:39 one is the liver requires lots of liquid water it requires a lot of water because 86:43 if you’ve got a clean house you’re gonna clean up that’s ketchup on a pristine 86:47 white floor you need water you need a mom you wet mop so so you need to stay 86:53 well hydrated those who have been following our presentations over the 86:59 years this is now year six four five something like that all right yeah let’s 87:04 call it here five those who have been following us know that we almost always 87:08 mentioned the amount of water that we need daily and anyone care to mention 87:14 how much water we need who wants to see my impression of this guy so we are 70% 87:22 what salt water so our goal is half our body weight in ounces per day minimum 87:34 for survival right if we’re physically active and working on sweating you need 87:39 1/3 more of that so whatever you weigh divide it by two out that’s how many 87:44 ounces a day minimum all right so that’s a lot of water some of that is coming 87:49 through food I said you’re eating vegetables they’re 87:52 retaining a lot of fluid that’s are a lot of a lot of water so that’s 87:56 important the other things to do for the liver so real basic will run through a 88:02 couple real basic things one is very easy right we start with the easy and 88:08 inexpensive stuff limit lemon water so you squirt a little living in your water 88:13 and or use lemon essential oil right purified Lebanese central oil or just 88:17 squirt of lemon and or lime in the water the liver loves it it stings the liver 88:23 is an organ right organs you can’t play an organ unless it’s in tune right how 88:30 do these organ speak to each other they speak via vibrational frequencies they 88:34 speak to each other be a vibrational frequencies it’s not a tune you’re not 88:38 gonna like that sound it’s gonna manifest itself as anxiety so it’s 88:42 important to make sure you’re given the liver what it needs to be in tune it 88:46 loves highly alkaline substances because it’s always dealing with these acidic 88:51 substances to try to break down toxins right so it loves an alkaline alkalinity 88:56 of lemon and or limes they’re the most alkaline fruits that exist so although 89:02 we think that they are acidic right they have alkaline forming properties once we 89:07 ingest them we always give cocktail party information that’s right 89:17 absent salt has magnesium magnesium calms the body it also helps detoxify so 89:22 like I always say two cups of epson salt in a warm bath so for 20 minutes that 89:27 can help detoxify the body as well cocktail party information you ready 89:31 okay cocktail party information which substance which nutrient is high in 89:36 lemon or limes that make them alkaline nutrient vitamin mineral 89:45 C and that’s good guest potassium potassium very high in potassium so the 89:56 other things for the liver some of my favorites artichoke extract 90:02 milk thistle dandelion root among many others Zenda Corinne has many of those 90:12 already built in it I when I first started practicing integrative medicine 90:19 and one of my mentors in fact my primary mentor sold artichoke extract in his 90:26 office and I asked his staff I said what’s 90:28 number one selling a supplement in the office I assumed he would say something 90:32 like vitamin C you know vitamin e e”z nothing like that magnesium no I said he 90:37 said artichoke extract what artichoke is driving that’s because his practice was 90:45 centered around the same process focus on the liver detoxification if that 90:49 liver cleaned up and everything else begins to work better everything else is 90:53 in tune symphony of the body symphony of cells are functioning as one got it 91:03 let’s say that someone has been able to overcome anxiety for some time but they 91:07 have tingling in the body and they pain in the back of their neck like what do 91:12 you guys recommend for that person who’s trying to eat healthy and doing 91:17 everything that we can for coming so just to clarify the question again you 91:22 said they have tea there they’re eating cleanly living trying to live a clean 91:25 lifestyle yet they have persistent symptoms of tingling and a pain in the 91:30 back of the neck and kind of like tingling at different times of the day 91:35 the chiropractor that’s what I was gonna say chiropractic adjustments can help a 91:41 lot yeah just with the effects of our body’s 91:45 physical stress of everything but specifically adjusting T 8 7 8 in the 91:51 middle of the back feeds the adrenal glands it can help balance the body so 91:56 and adjusting the upper neck can help too but pretty much if there’s imbalance 92:01 in the nervous system and again chiropractically we work with the brain 92:04 in the nervous system and the brain talks with everything to communicate 92:08 function right so if it can’t communicate downstream then there’s 92:12 gonna be dysfunction in the body so if we create balance through a chiropractic 92:16 adjustment so that brain can talk to those adrenal glands and everything can 92:21 communicate freely within the body or body’s gonna function better right so 92:25 chiropractic adjustments can help a lot I do I have some of my patients here I 92:29 can just touch their backs and I could say I had one today middle middle back 92:34 it was just like a rock I said are you stressed she’s like it’s been a 92:37 really stressful thing and I’m like I can tell like you just touching your 92:41 body I can tell what what the issue is you know other issues I treat you know 92:46 any digestive issue low back I’ll find a lot of tension in that low back you know 92:50 so it’s it’s a really a cool therapy to use to treat just anxiety but a lot of 92:56 other things as well look at B vitamin status – like vitamin b12 and you got a 93:04 tingling and that kind of problem generally speaking I look at a b12 level 93:11 b12 is low I mean stomach acid it’s likely highly likely to be low as well 93:19 what vegetables are eating for breakfast great question 93:23 best veggies I eat for breakfast are I say 50% of the time cruciferous 93:28 vegetables so I eat a medley of cruciferous vegetables broccoli 93:32 cauliflower and then carrots that’s not a cruciferous special it’s actually 93:37 called California blend that’s what I that’s what I eat organic broccoli 93:42 cauliflower and carrots and now you know I’ll do do that one day next day I’ll do 93:48 green beans the next day all organic next day I do 93:51 broccoli alone but 50% of the time is there it’s the medley and why why do I 93:59 actually specifically do that for a reason because the cruciferous 94:03 vegetables are extremely beneficial for cleansing the liver extremely important 94:10 for cleansing the liver they contain a compound called endo Lamine indole amine 94:15 I am do l am i any and that specifically breaks down one of the toxins that leads 94:23 to excessive amounts of estrogen buildup let’s say from plastics among other 94:28 things so it helps to break down toxins that a plastic base which we’re all 94:33 inundated with so so that’s not actually so that’s what I would I have the 94:39 veggies but those are the veggies that I eat my daughter who is we just turned 13 94:46 for several years she’s the second one who comes to the kitchen and she gets 94:51 her breakfast started and she makes her own set of veggies and her veggies 94:55 usually include sometimes carrots sometimes broccoli those would be the 94:59 big two for my daughter again teach the family teach your kids how to 95:03 do this independently at very young ages they will learn how to how to deal with 95:10 quote/unquote stress and anxiety in part in the kitchen kids in the kitchen makes 95:15 a big difference so when you’re getting you get that energy you absorb that 95:21 healing energy that’s in a carrot that’s in broccoli at seven you absorb it just 95:24 by handling it just by getting the scent from it etc I mean you eat it of course 95:29 it’s game on your liver loves you back 95:35 yes / dairy free don’t forget that dairy blue and dairy free waffle and or 95:47 pancakes but make pancakes – no they’re blueberries wild blueberries while 95:51 blueberries are extremely beneficial for the liver by the way very very 95:55 beneficial for the liver also great for the eyes as well specifically for night 96:00 vision excellent you want to improve wild 96:04 blueberries also have antiviral properties as well remember there’s a 96:08 special virus that like to hang out in the liver which is steam epstein-barr 96:12 virus you were listening tonight nobody fell asleep that’s the dream talking 96:17 about anxiety you know oh my gosh yeah so so that’s the ticket yeah I usually 96:22 have a couple of eggs eggs by the way I should say something about eggs just a 96:29 few years ago we never saw eggs show up and I shouldn’t say never but it’s very 96:34 rare to see extra up in food sensitivity testing now it’s extremely common 96:39 extremely common so eggs are not necessarily a food that 96:44 I highly recommend for most people these days because it’s it’s pervasively 96:49 common to have an egg sensitivity why is that why is that so two reasons 96:57 least I’ll share with you right off the top we can talk about it separately down 97:01 the road two reasons number one eggs are food for viruses and microorganisms so 97:10 if we have poor gut these microorganisms overpopulate microorganisms overpopulate 97:15 and what do they like to eat when we’re in the lab in the laboratory we grow 97:20 these organisms on what in the petri dish we give them eggs that’s the 97:24 culture in which we grow up okay they beat it they feed on that stuff so they 97:28 love it if someone were to get a flu shot the person given the flu shot 97:33 should ask them whether they have an allergy to eggs what is the flu shot 97:37 addressing a virus right why did why would why would that why would they say 97:41 that because they grew the virus for the shot in a culture of eggs do you 97:47 understand so that’s one reason the second reason is that arsenic 97:51 unfortunately which is highly toxic is also ever-present in most of our eggs so 98:05 not everybody has that effect but I can just tell you if I’m if I’m if I’m 98:10 guessing whether someone will have of sensitivity to eggs I’m guessing that 98:14 they would Oh irrespective knowing anything about that’s a great question 98:33 you guys asking really good questions you might put me on the spot both of us 98:36 on this fun dairy we live in a dairy State so I can’t say too much they’ll 98:44 come back so Dairy Dairy is a is problematic number one irrespective of 98:51 whether an individual is intolerant or not first thing Dairy does is it 98:56 increases mucus production what did we say about mucus earlier what do we say 99:03 about it we said mucus is associated with increased what this to be 99:08 thank you you were listening okay you get increased histamine that’s telling 99:11 you that there’s a problem just to mean it’s going to cause what what symptom 99:15 anxiety why should we listen to that warning signal because that’s telling us 99:20 on the other side of that increased histamine is poor detoxification we’ve 99:24 got to increase mucus to clean up some junk in the trunk do you understand 99:28 so dairy products substantially increased mucus substantially so Bobby 99:36 if somebody comes in they have someone if someone comes in if someone comes to 99:42 the office and they have you know skin issues right away first question I’m 99:47 asking is how much dairy are you consuming okay why cuz that junk is 99:51 coming out through the skin the liver cannot handle the process of 99:55 detoxification of dairy products so I had the story plenty of cheese all you 100:01 want but you know that who wants to cheese I told you earlier who wants to 100:05 cheese who wants to dairy who wants the eggs that’s exactly right the organisms 100:11 that are present they’re screaming for they’re sending a signal to the brain 100:14 and giving you an emotion it’s gonna attach any motion to that when you eat 100:20 that stuff do you feel good it’s gonna attach that emotion that’s sitting there 100:25 sit it to the brain and say oh I gotta had that piece of cheese do you 100:30 understand the best thing you can I’m serious 100:32 the best thing you can do is deny just like I deny to my wife that I was 100:38 coughing in the morning oh I my daughter she’s almost 2 but when she was around 100:54 nine months old I brought her to dr. Byron because she had all this eczema on 100:58 her and I couldn’t figure out what I was 101:01 doing I mean we I was doing everything I knew how to do as a doctor and I was 101:05 getting goat’s milk for her because a cow’s milk was bad and he sent me to go 101:10 get food sensitivity and it was the goat’s milk that was triggering this I 101:15 cut that votes month out within a week her skin was completely clear within one 101:20 week I mean she was completely resolved so it was the it was the dairy that was 101:23 triggering that and here I thought as being good getting her goat’s milk but 101:26 I’m not getting cow’s milk you know but so we just don’t we don’t even have 101:31 dairy in my house is how we just that’s why we use coconut milk in our smoothies 101:37 in my household we haven’t had it since 2010 dairy since then and by the way you 101:45 know it may sound like I’m kind of you know droppin knowledge here right but I 101:51 live this stuff I live it I went through this I don’t same questions you guys are 101:55 asking me I asked myself because I didn’t have the knowledge at the time I 101:58 went through this my family and I we were eating standard American diet you 102:02 know somewhat cleanly but we were having dairy every day every day and family 102:07 members were had asthma family members had eczema family members had allergies 102:11 and then I started just where I’m sharing with you guys we remove dairy 102:16 that was the first thing we did massive improvement that’s in part what led me 102:20 to do this kind of work that was one of the triggers said oh my gosh is this 102:24 working for my family maybe it’ll work for my patients I started used utilizing 102:28 it in my patients and oh my gosh it will come back and say dr. Bob okay now I 102:31 have this other problem I never told you about okay let’s figure that one out 102:34 okay so I you know understand we’re human too and we go through the same 102:40 stuff so what they’re just gonna say 102:50 yeah let’s do on one or two more questions yeah 102:55 the doctors saying the alkaline day and if so what’s your take on it 103:03 good question the question was am i familiar are we familiar with dr. Chevy 103:08 diet and out specifically the alkaline diet dr. Sophy and whether or not that 103:12 has benefits for our health for us to achieve optimal health yes I’m familiar 103:18 with dr. Chevy and his work who is who has since passed away he shares some 103:25 important very important concepts and more specifically you talking about just 103:29 about alkyl and alkyl alkaline diet but if you study and carefully he talked 103:33 about an anti mucus diet okay talking about an anti mucus diet anti mucus diet 103:39 is very similar to an alkaline diet and he specifically encouraged people to use 103:48 special herbs and natural foods specifically to elicit that so yes I’m 103:56 familiar with him I wouldn’t say I would use his quote unquote diet as a 104:01 comprehensive diet for all because we are all different but as a guy it’s 104:07 excellent I remember what I was gonna say so most people come to us to heal 104:14 them right but I just want to encourage you guys to know that you guys the 104:20 things you do every day is how you heal yourselves so we’ll give you this tidbit 104:24 of information but what you guys do would implement in your lives every 104:28 single day is how you create your own journey to wellness into optimal health 104:33 okay that’s what I was gonna say all right so we’re gonna 104:38 okay okay um I was just curious so I have a pretty clean diet for the past 104:45 I’ve had it for like six months or so or everything that I consume it’s just like 104:49 natural like from the earth so I get really hungry for like sugar sometimes I 104:54 can shoot craving because I’m not consuming anything processed so I try to 104:59 eat chocolate like 70% dark chocolate but I feel like I’ve been eating too 105:04 much of it so I’m looking for like other sources of sucrose that’s healthy 105:08 like from obviously like pomegranates and like other fruits but I’m just 105:12 curious like what do you guys would come after that 105:14 well usually if you’re craving sugar there’s something deeper going on okay 105:20 that’s probably you know whether it’s something in the gut or the liver or 105:23 something that could be why you’re screaming for sugar but you know any 105:29 fruits is a yeah they have sugar in them so that’s right with a lower glycemic so 105:34 they’re gonna be a nice alternative dark chocolates bad good 70 75 % yeah has 105:40 magnesium in it yeah so that’s a good alternative as well anything else yeah 105:46 so again that’s a great question because you’re asking a question is based on 105:50 your cravings so you’re listening to your body right we listen to your body 105:54 carefully you’re saying okay it’s practically telling you what the issue 105:57 is alright sayin okay you crave sugar but 106:01 you’re replacing that with chocolate that’s a good choice relatively speaking 106:04 if you’re craving sugar you’re craving energy okay you’re craving energy so 106:09 what what forms of energy would you utilize you would utilize short and long 106:13 term forms of energy these deliver stores sugar stores glass sugar in the 106:18 form of glycogen for about 90 minutes work so again you focus on the liver 106:22 look at look at fruits very good quality fruits you’re getting a good quality 106:27 form of sugar with with fruits if you can get them in season great if not 106:32 don’t worry about it we live in Wisconsin and or Northern Illinois so we 106:36 cannot go by the typical seasons otherwise we would starve okay the 106:41 second thing I would say is if for example part of that craving for sugar 106:45 is in fact including chocolate then you start looking at chocolate specifically 106:49 in the ingredients a new nutrients I should say in chocolate even 106:53 if it’s 70% you say okay chocolates gonna have fair amount of 106:57 zinc but it’s also gonna have a lot of copper okay yes absolutely 107:03 so so chocolate what I will begin to think I have this is again showing you 107:08 how I think about that question attacked I’ll say okay because she has copper 107:13 toxicity and or some derivative of it leading to a quote unquote craving for 107:18 it and that’s the way I would I would look at that if you had other associated 107:23 symptoms as well it would be high on the list so cool alright well thank you guys 107:31 all for coming out you can ask a question after after we’re done we’re 107:36 gonna close it up here thank you for joining us for our first lecture of the 107:40 season we will be back March 7 so it’s the first Thursday in March same place 107:45 same time for ask the doctors we’ve done this one before back by popular demands 107:52 if the fun one so we’ll just be on the hot seat up here you guys can ask us 107:55 questions we do have this video on Facebook should you need to go back and 107:59 review it it is available for you to review okay 108:03 otherwise thank you for coming out again there’s handouts on your way out and if 108:07 you want to donate there is a little cup over there all right have a good night
