Hello, I'm Liz Holt. I love the subject of health. I'm so grateful to have four friends
here that have helped me and my family a great deal with learning how to take care of our
temples, the bodies God gave us to do His will, to carry out the things He's called
us to. So if you would all share what your background is in health, that would be great.
And we'll start with Julie. My name is Julie Black, and I have a bachelor's of nursing
and a master herbalist and also homeopath. My name is Chandler Holt. I have a master's
in nursing and I currently do a lot of nutrition education for people. I'm Pam Holloway. I
have a bachelor's degree in nursing, master's in international relations and business. My
area of focus is environmental health and I'm fortunate to have spent some time working
with the Department of the Army. And I'm Rachel Terry. I am a certified group fitness instructor
of 30 years. How did you all get involved with Holistic Alternative Health? My entry
into Holistic Health began when my husband and I were trying to have children and we
were having some trouble. And so I actually ended up going to see an acupuncturist who
gave me some herbal tea and she did an acupuncture treatment on me. And within five treatments,
she was able to tell me that I was pregnant just by checking my pulses. And so I thought,
that's really strange. My background was in nursing. I was working in the ER at that point
and I didn't understand how she could tell just from my pulses. So that kind of piqued my interest
and I've always been a really curious person. So I started looking into this and I really never
looked back. Fast forward a little bit. My son was born and he had some issues at birth with
breathing, which then led into croup that happened twice a year, every year, like clockwork. And so
I took him to the ER one time. We had a really horrible experience there. We actually did every
time we went in, we had bad experiences there. The treatments didn't seem to be making him any
better. And at the same time, I was working in the ER with patients and I kept asking them what
their medications did for them. And none of them could tell me, or if they could tell me,
they would tell me that they were taking each medication to counteract the last one's side
effects. So I kept thinking there's got to be a better way than this. My son got croup again and
that experience was really awful once again. So I thought there has got to be a better way than
this. So I was in a natural food store one time and as if someone tapped me on the shoulder,
I now know it was the Holy Spirit tapping me on the shoulder, turned me around to look at these
little blue and purple tubes behind me. I pulled one out and it said for croup. And so I pulled
that one out and took it home and I looked up how to give it and it was really strange. You
know, you would give it one certain remedy after midnight, you would give another after one o'clock
or another after two. So my son had that horrible cough that I'm sure you all know. One night I sat
up straight in bed and I looked at the clock and was like, okay, it is midnight. So I'm going to
give this one. So I gave it to him. He calmed down immediately, went back to bed and we didn't
have another issue. It happened again like that. And so curiosity was piqued again. So I started
looking into it and eventually went on to get training to be a master herbalist and then
training to become a homeopath and I have not looked back since. So my background's in nursing
and so I worked in the hospital system for many, many years. And really the main question that I
kept asking myself over and over was why are people not getting better? That was really the
reason I went into nursing to begin with. I wanted to help people heal their bodies, not keep them
sick. And so my set in the traditional nursing field kind of ended when I went to New York City
for three months during the COVID outbreak and I helped there and just between all the political
stuff that was going on, it just didn't feel like we were really taking care of people. And so I kind
of left the traditional nursing and I went on a journey, if you will, a lot of research, a lot of
different classes I've taken, books, read, articles, all sorts of stuff to really get to the root of
how does our body really work down to a cellular level and how can we fuel that to hopefully prevent
getting sick and if we are sick, deal with the symptoms we're dealing with.
It started, actually, with the changes that I saw happening in the environment around us.
I was fortunate to grow up out in the country on a farm and in the outdoors.
And then when I was out doing Colorado Outward Bound School,
just seeing the impact of nature and how our bodies respond to nature really, really appealed to me.
So I went fully into nursing school.
I was fortunate to be on scholarship from Department of the Army and Army Nurse Corps.
And so when I got stationed in Europe,
I had the opportunity to see things in different cultural lenses and different environmental lenses.
And I started looking at the difference, particularly in the pediatric population,
between what was happening with the children in the United States
and what was happening with children in Europe, as well as children in Asia and children in Africa.
And I started picking up on some really startling trends.
We had a much higher rate of autism.
We had a much higher rate of children with asthma.
And it was really concerning because we're the most advanced, right?
And we're spending all this money.
We should have the healthiest kids.
That wasn't the case.
So as I came back to the United States after being stationed abroad for a total of almost eight years,
and I'm walking down the grocery store aisle, I started crying.
It was full of all these beautiful, brightly colored boxes.
But there was no food to be found anywhere.
Where was the metsukurai?
Where was the local, you know, fruit and vegetable stand?
I couldn't find or see any of my local farmers.
And that started us on a journey of starting our own regenerative agriculture operation
and at the same time moving more and more into the health field.
And then much like just about anyone who ends up in the holistic field,
we had our own crisis moment, and I was told that my children would never heal.
I'm happy to say today they're both very healthy and doing quite well.
So that journey took a process of over 30 years,
but continuing to move today forward with helping people.
And now I'm in a whole realm where I'm working with health cases
that the traditional medicine world says are incurable or don't exist.
And thanks to the Lord and the Holy Spirit and people coming into alignment with him,
they're getting those answers.
My job is just to walk next to them.
Well, I feel like I'm a little bit different here
in that you all are into the food and the homeopathic, and I'm into the movement.
I've always been a person who likes to move, dance in particular.
So dancing and gymnastics are my background.
But when I became 18 and tried to do that professionally,
I found that it wasn't my scene.
And I don't need to go into that exactly, but I wanted to keep moving.
So I worked out at a gym and saw a poster on the board,
and actually it was my husband who said, you should do that.
And it was a poster that said, become a fitness instructor.
And it was through 24-hour fitness.
At the time it was family fitness.
And so I got my first certification when I was 20 years old.
And when you become a group exercise instructor,
you have to do continuing education credits, and you have to do two a year minimum.
And what that did is I learned all sorts of different movements,
from jazzercise to indoor cycling with an IMAX theater in front of you, theater screen.
So there's so many different things that I've seen over 30 years,
lots of different things I've seen.
I just really enjoy seeing people take their bodies from something that is unwell
to something that is strong and fit and agile and is just full of movement.
And so, yeah, that's what excites me, and that's how I got into it.
Thank you, Rachel.
Julie, what is homeopathy, and why is it uniquely helpful to us?
I brought some examples.
Here is Sulfur 200.
It's in a little purple tube.
Boron is the brand, but there's a lot of different brands.
And then there's this little blue tube here as well.
So they come in all kinds of different potencies, and there's different brands that you can get.
These are the most readily available at the store.
So this is what it is.
They're little pellets.
And the actual definition of homeopathy is that it's a system of medicine
that treats the person with a set of symptoms using microdoses of
of natural substances that in a healthy person would cause similar symptoms. So for example,
we all know what happens when we cut an onion, right? Our eyes start to water, our nose runs,
and it's usually kind of a clear runny nose and our eyes kind of burn a little bit.
If you were to take onion and make a remedy from it, you actually give it then its Latin name,
which is Allium sepa, which you can find in the store. So then you can use that remedy
to treat things with similar symptoms. So it's something like hay fever responds really well
to Allium sepa. There are a couple of acute onset illness protocols that I would like to give just
because I think they would be really helpful in illness season. And this is where it comes
in that it's uniquely helpful because it actually trains the immune system to have a stronger,
basically, a stronger terrain, which we'll talk about here in a bit. But the acute illness
protocol that I wanted to give is it's Aconite 200 plus Bryonia 30C. And you take that at the
first inkling that you're getting sick. So you've got a little scratchy throat or runny nose or
something. You'll take those two both in your mouth at the same time. You want to try to avoid
touching the little pellets. So you'll turn the cap on the bottom. You know, you face the cap
towards the bottom and you turn it until you have three little pellets come out. You take the cap
off and just pop them in your mouth. So you'll do that with the Aconite and the Bryonia. Just put
them both in your mouth at the same time. And you'll do that for, you know, every couple hours
for the first 48 hours or so. And it can often abort the illness altogether or lessen the duration
Great. Pam, we know that our thoughts and our minds are really powerful for our health. Can you
speak to the fact that every time we have a thought, which I've heard is 70,000 a day for the
average person, a protein is made. And how does that impact our health? First, I'm going to take
you back to scripture. Scripture constantly talks about renewing of the mind, holding every thought
captive. As a man thinketh, so shall he be. Every time we actually have a thought, it literally
takes and creates a protein in the brain. And then that protein impacts our health and our immune
system. Without getting into all the complexities, the core thing to remember is this. You are either
creating something that is helpful, or you're creating something that is harmful. We don't
get the choice of really being neutral. And really, scripture is very clear that we're going to
worship something. We're going to be at an altar one way or another. So when you think about it,
as we think, as we speak, we are literally bringing a thought to the Lord,
or we're contributing a thought to evil, one way or the other. And particularly the power
of our tongue. And this is one of the things I learned very much so when my family was ill.
Are you sure you're okay? That was a caring mom. But what was I actually doing?
I'm getting to reflect on, well, am I okay? Or am I not okay? We're not to pretend. We're not
to be fake about any of this stuff. But literally learning to be still, to hear what the Lord says
about who we are, and our identity in Him. Those are the things that we need to be speaking over
ourselves. Those are the things that we need to be speaking over others. And literally,
you'll watch the change at the cellular level. As that healing comes from heaven into the physical
and literally becomes physically what we show around us. You'll literally see that light shine.
And that's what we're supposed to be doing, is shining that light.
We always thought that taking every thought captive was just a good idea. But could it have
been that the one who made our bodies knew that it was more than that? Isn't that exciting? So,
Rachel, can you tell us how to oxygenate our brains and why that's important?
This is building on onto all of that. And it's an exciting question because
it's not really hard. It's not a hard thing to do. Oxygenating our brains is important because it's
just basic cognitive function. I've heard women talk about brain fog, things like that, or just
Memory, the easiest way to oxygenate our brain is to move.
And so just even something as small as, you know, taking a five-minute walk outside in
the sunshine, or even if it's not sunshiny, you know, in the wind and the cold, that's
even good too.
You're going to get oxygen to your brain, and more oxygen to your brain creates new
brain cells, and our cognitive function just increases.
So but another thing that is really, really neat is what is called shockers.
So there are three shockers that you can do for your body that will cause your brain function
to increase, and the first shocker is fasting, and that's not really hard to do if you think
about doing a good breakfast, and then a good lunch, and then maybe not eat dinner,
and that's a whole 18 hours until the next breakfast, right?
So that's actually a pretty easy fast to do.
Another shocker is to take a nice hot shower, and then at the last minute, turn all the
hot water off, and, you know, it doesn't have to be a long time, just a little, you know.
Well, the cold plunge is, that's three minutes, so that's, but it's okay to actually even
let out a scream, because that means your body is, you know, you're feeling the shock,
you know.
The other thing, and this goes back to movement, is to run for your life.
So imagine, you know, if there's a hill, you know, outside your house, and you can just
try to run as fast as you can up that hill, less than 30 seconds, you probably wouldn't
even get to 30 seconds.
At 15 seconds, you'd be out of breath, you know, and those kinds of things are really
good to do.
So anybody can do that one, but the other two is, we could probably do, and all of that
brings oxygen to our brains.
And we function better, right?
Yes, absolutely.
That's awesome.
Well, Chandler, Pocrates said, let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.
Can you speak to that?
I can, yes.
So the easiest way to explain this to people is to just focus on, down to cellular level,
how do we function, right?
So as organisms, we function based on cells, and in our cells, we have something called
a mitochondria.
And the mitochondria is like the energy producer, essentially, of our cells, of our bodies.
And so if we're eating in a way that gives the nutrients that that mitochondria needs
to produce that energy, then our body can carry out the very, very, very many functions
that it does.
And if we're eating in a way that it's not nourishing that mitochondria to create energy,
then we can have a lot of problems ensue, symptoms, disease, a bunch of different things.
So when I talk to people, that's usually the best way to explain it.
And so focusing on minerals that our diet is lacking in here in America, vitamins that
we're missing, really focusing on whole foods, very nutrient-rich foods.
So trying to get the biggest bang for your buck, that's really important.
But yeah, things like fast food and all that stuff isn't really, like you're saying, at
the grocery store, it's a bunch of empty calories.
It doesn't actually hold any nutrients that our body can utilize, recognize.
And so we get sick from it.
And can we gain weight because we're eating foods that don't have nutrients?
Yes, you can.
Okay.
Yes.
All right.
We're going to ask a question of, a lot of people believe that we get sick because we're
exposed to germs, but what are the other factors going on in our interior, in our bodies that
would contribute to getting sick?
Is it all about exposure to germs?
This really goes to environment.
And there's an extensive history behind that.
Most of you guys have heard of Louis Pasteur, but not too many have heard of Beauchamp.
And what Beauchamp actually discovered, and there was a big fight, and it turns out it
was a huge political deal, and there was some actually suppression of opinions and all sorts
of stuff that happened back in France.
Really?
That happens in this world?
Really?
Oh, never.
And what ended up happening was though, is that Beauchamp put forward the component of,
it's all about the environment, that we are a terrain.
It's the terroir.
What most people don't realize is that only a tenth of what makes up this body is actually
DNA.
The other components is our microbiome.
It's beneficial bacteria.
And unfortunately, antibiotics, which means literally, against life.
versus probiotics for life. Well, we've been doing a lot of things with
antibiotics for the last few decades, and so our microbiome is a fraction of what
it used to be. On top of that, the things that we're using to grow our food is
destroying the microbiome of the soil. Things like glyphosate, what most people
know is Roundup, and when we go out and we apply Roundup, even around our homes,
we're destroying the microbiome that's critical to our health. So the most
beneficial thing we can go do going forward is to culture foods, to get back
to nature, to get our hands in the dirt, to expose ourselves to as much diversity
as possible, to strengthen the health of our microbiomes, and that's one thing
that is very much consistent with how the Lord created us and with nature. We
are very blessed to worship a God who loves diversity, and this is one of
many ways that we can bring that diversity into the core of who we are by
the foods that we culture and how we live our lives. Did you want to say something?
Yeah, so I want to go back to the movement thing because a sedentary
lifestyle is one of the top predictors of illness and not doing well in that
illness, and I had some stats here from the Institute of Health that says only
20% of American adults are meeting any of the movement guidelines, exercise
guidelines, and less than 5%, less than 5% of our nation is getting it
anywhere close to the 30-minute recommended exercise amount per day, and
so, and also lack of movement not only causes illness, but it also causes
depression, and there's just all sorts of things in there, but the good
news is is that going from zero to something increases those odds
exponentially to health, so like 50%, like if you have poor knee health or
there's women's issues or things like that through menopause, all of those
things increase by 50%, almost 50% on in just about every area when you start to
move, so your health, you know, illness, you're coming out of illness is, is your
odds are increasing just by having movement on a daily basis. It almost
sounds like it's the force multiplier. Yeah, exactly, exactly, yeah, it's the what
I, the forgotten remedy is what exercise is, is the, yeah. That's awesome, thank you.
So Chandler, tell us about organ meats. Yes, everybody's favorite topic, organ
meats. No, organ meats are really, really healthy for us. Our ancestors, you know,
when we were more in our hunter-gatherer type days, and they would, you know, get
that animal, that was like the first thing that we went for, it was the organs,
and it's interesting if you look at a lot of history, people would always give
the liver specifically, they would give it first to the pregnant expecting
mothers or to the children. Culturally, they, they understood the value of what
the liver specifically provided for us, and you know, that was before we had all
the technology to tell us why that was. We just intuitively knew that it was
really good for us, and we could, we were very in tune with our bodies the way
that these organs made us feel, and so I encourage people to try and introduce
organ meats back into their diet. If it's not something you grew up on, it can be a
little difficult to do. There are some great recipes out there that you can try.
There's some ground meats that have them kind of built in, essentially ground into
the meat itself. That's an easy kind of low barrier to entry because you don't
taste it, but if you really can't stomach them, there are like powdered
encapsulated forms that you can try also, but they're extremely high in a lot
of different vitamins and minerals that we are pretty much deficient in here, so.
So where can we get those organ meats? Where do you find that we could get those?
So I buy a lot of mine. If you can find a local farmer, that's gonna be your best
bet because you can ask them, you can see the quality, how they're raising their
animals. You can't find them in a lot of grocery stores, and I probably wouldn't
buy them there anyways, so local's best. And then there are some groups that you
can buy them, like regenerative farms and stuff that do ship to your house as well.
Chandler, I have a question just to follow up on that. As far as sourcing goes,
what is it we specifically need to be asking or looking for as we're
sourcing those organs? And is it better just to eat liver?
no matter what, or are there times where it's actually,
if you can't find the right source,
you're better off not eating it?
Yeah, so you wanna make sure you're getting an organic,
regeneratively raised organ meats
from grass-fed and grass-finished, preferably.
That would be the best sourcing.
Well, Pam, got a question for you.
If we would like to detox our bodies from vaccines,
in general, or from the COVID vaccine,
is that possible, and why would we wanna do that?
It's absolutely possible, and it's highly encouraged
to go through that detoxification process,
and there's multiple approaches you can take.
One is homeopathically, and I really, really encourage
parents and families to seek out
homeopathic detoxification.
There's some very well-established methods out there,
and there's some good data to support it.
The second thing I would say,
particularly regarding whether or not
someone took a COVID vaccine or not at this point,
we are seeing an incredible increase
in neurological issues, myocarditis,
all sorts of things that we didn't see prior to 2021,
and it really is at a level where we have to think
and live differently now as a result
of the things that we're seeing.
Detoxification isn't something that you do,
oh, I'm gonna do a liver cleanse.
No, detoxification needs to become a lifestyle.
It needs to be a part of our daily environment,
and the best way to accomplish that
is to look at what we're doing
with things like proteolytic enzymes,
because we're seeing a lot of issues with blood clotting.
So literally, proteolytic enzymes are enzymes
that help remove some of the biofilm
and some of the things that are causing debris
on the inside of the venous,
of our arteries and our veins and things like that,
and that then leads to a lot of these issues
that we're seeing.
So that would be one thing that we would look at.
The other thing that we would look at
is incorporating things like black cumin seed
into our diets a lot more.
Fennel, drinking fennel tea.
Dandelion is super, super critically important
at this point.
It really helps support that liver.
Doing things that support glutathione production
like NAC, things like that.
All those types of things that you can find
on the Health Recovery Ministry,
we've actually put this out there
so that people can just see and learn.
And so they can go to healthrecoveryministry.org
and learn a lot about how they can start taking
a lot of these steps to improve their health.
And again, I cannot stress this enough.
It's got to become a daily part of our lifestyle
and incorporating the movement in there too.
But there is one caution I'm gonna give,
and I love what you talked about with those things
that are really shockers.
Unfortunately, we're also finding right now
in some cases where someone will start
go into a heavy physical activity
and they'll push really hard after having that vaccine.
And that's when we're seeing those collapses
like what you're seeing with the soccer players
on the field, the athletes, those types of situations.
So I would encourage,
particularly if someone has taken the vaccine,
take a little gentle movement, absolutely.
But take a step back,
walk through that detoxification procedure.
Do those things of really looking after your heart health
and things like that
before you push back into that heavy activity.
So Julie, are our bodies talking to us?
They are.
And are we listening and how do we listen?
I think that in our society today, we don't always listen.
We just will go and pop an Advil or ibuprofen or something,
which isn't the best idea,
especially when we have all of these natural things to do
to help keep our terrains healthy.
In my world of homeopathy,
our bodies talk to us in the form of symptoms.
We often wanna just cover up the check engine light
and move on with our lives, right?
But this all comes back to the things
we were talking about before with terrain.
One of the main things I think that a lot of people
are missing is intentional rest,
leaving margin in our days
so that we can build in sustainable habits
like movement and eating well and doing all of those things.
So we don't wanna overlook just the basics of nourishment,
proper rest, adequate water.
And if we have trouble in those areas,
homeopathy is always there to help.
So for example, if you're like a heavily driven person,
you like to work, work, work,
and then you go to bed at night and you have trouble.
turning your brain off because it's just like the hamster wheel running the thoughts through your
mind. Coffea can help. So, Coffea Cruda 30 C. You just take one dose of that a couple hours
before bedtime if you want, another dose at bedtime, and again if you wake up. But the goal
is to give your body that imprint of what healthy sleep should look like so that you can wake up
refreshed. So, are you saying that sleeplessness can become a habit in your body, like you train
it to do that? Yeah, it can. It can. In fact, I recently listened to a sleep doctor who was
talking about if you're having sleepless nights, you should actually not stay in bed. You should
get up and do something extremely boring like, I don't know, pull out an encyclopedia or something.
And when you do that, don't turn on the lights. You should have some sort of an amber
light or something that keeps your cortisol levels low and your melatonin levels building
so that you can get back to sleep. Well, that's awesome. And Rachel, I'm going to go back to you.
There's a lot of trauma and stress in our culture, and people are talking about how that can
actually be in our bodies and have an imprint in our bodies, trauma and stress. How can we
find movements that release that? We store stress and trauma in areas of our body, and some of the
biggest areas are our neck and shoulders. A lot of people already feel that, but a lot of people
don't realize that they hold a lot of that in their hips. And I've taken people through stretches
and things like that where they've ended up crying just by holding a stretch in the hips
for a little bit so that it just releases that, and it brings up all sorts of different emotions.
So did you want me to show? Okay. So the easiest thing to do is to stand and just twist, because
we do hold a lot of things in our spine as well, and this promotes blood flow up the spine and into
the brain. But also, as you begin to do this a little bit more, you'll notice that you start
using your shoulders and your hips. Oh, did you hear that crack? I just released something in my
shoulder. Did you hear it? It probably didn't pick up on the mic, but that's one. That's awesome.
And what if we can't do a lot of movement? Can we do something in our chair? So some chair
exercises. Actually, I can hold this for this. The easiest chair exercise that I think is really,
really great for people is to just lift their knees. Everybody want to join me?
So you'll notice that you start activating the lower abdominal muscles as soon as you do that.
A lot of people come to me with sciatic issues, and the best chair exercise for sciatic is just
this. And you're going to release something in your hip right away as soon as you do that.
And some people can't get all the way up onto their knee. That's okay. You can cross here.
You can cross at your ankle. Eventually, maybe you're crossing all the way up, and those are
great for releasing through the spine and through the hips. Some more, and you can hold it for me
now, is holding your hands behind your head. And you're just sitting, and you're just going
side to side as much as possible. And you can then start to add your knees,
and do it all together. And just that minimal amount of movement, every single day is going
to take those stats that I talked about earlier. It's going to go from zero to 50 in no time at
all. It's great. Thank you. Chandler, since Americans eat out so much, what are the best
things we can order off menus? What would you recommend? Yeah, so if I go to a restaurant,
which isn't very often anymore because of how low quality our food is in restaurants, but if I do
have to go, I usually pick the beef option over the chicken or the fish just because it tends to
end up being the healthiest of the meat options at this particular restaurant. Another thing you
can do is ask to have your food cooked in butter instead of the vegetable oils that all the
restaurants use, if that's possible. And then lastly, I usually opt for a cooked vegetable.
Again, if it's in butter or something like that, I would avoid salads at restaurants just because
they're almost 100% guarantee it's probably not organic. And then it's just laden with a ton of
really bad seed oil, inflammatory salad dressing on top. So I would probably reserve that.
Why is beef going to be the best option?
about beef? So cows have multiple stomachs, so they have the ability to kind of break
down a lot more than other animals do. So that's usually going to be, I don't know if
you have anything else to add other than that, but I usually find it ends up being the healthiest
option. It really goes to a combination of the vaccines that the animals are given, along
with the fact of cows spend a component of their life on grass no matter what. That is
not the case with pork. That is not the case with chicken, particularly in a CAFO operation,
confined animal feeding operation. So you've just got a better opportunity between the
multiple rumens, between the vaccine load and things like that to have a healthier opportunity
with beef. All of you, if I could make one change in my health protocol that I could
feel better in one month, like next month at this time, what would it be? What would
you say? My one thing is that you would have a self-care protocol, that you're getting
proper rest, that you're nourishing yourself well, that you're getting your Bible time
in and that you're just leaving margin for rest. Because my goal in treating someone
with homeopathy is to not have them on homeopathy. So that was my whole goal in kind of leaving the
medical system is that I don't want a lifelong client. I want for people to be healed and whole.
And so homeopathy is just that kind of little push to get you there. And then once you're better,
you get off the homeopathy. So that would be my suggestion. So you're not in it for the money?
I'm not. I love it. Good. And how about you Chandler? Yeah, I would say probably just starting your day with
sunlight in your eyes. So as the sun rises, if you can get outside, that really is going to make
probably one of the easiest, least expensive things you could possibly do for your health
is just getting some more sunlight. And what will that do? Yeah, so it just helps a lot with,
you know, shutting down the melatonin production, just helping you kind of get ready for the day.
A lot of people that are super foggy in the morning, that are the chronic, I need to go
straight to coffee in order for me to function. Don't do that. Obviously try and wait it out at
least an hour after you wake up, preferably after food, if you can. Usually I find people that don't
do great on coffee, they can actually do better after they have something in their stomach.
But yeah, it really, it'll make a big difference. And how about you, Pam? Morning routine. Dr.
Andrew Huberman has a wonderful video out there. It's an after-school video. It's called The Morning
Routine. And there is a lot of anecdotal as well as research now that's all across the internet
of people who've implemented that morning routine and seen dramatic improvement to their health.
So one of the things that people can easily do is go look up that morning routine and follow that.
It incorporates the factors here that we just heard from Julian Chandler. It also incorporates
movement and it really emphasizes that component of consistency. The consistency is certain,
super, super important. Consistency in bedtime and most importantly, consistency in wake up time.
So getting that light in the eyes within, you know, that first five minutes of being awake,
if the sun's not shiny, it's super cloudy, turn on all the lights you can in the house around you.
Consider investing in something called a happy light and getting that light in your eyes. That
can also help as well. And then the other component is intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting has
been directly correlated to really being able to help people get over some of the metabolic issues
that we're currently seeing and improving brain function and things like that. Now when it comes
to that intermittent fasting, there's the considerations of what stage of life are you in.
Someone like Chandler, her age and stage, intermittent fasting is really not and with
her body type really is not indicated. For people like you and I, intermittent fasting is amazing.
I think we might be a little older than Chandler.
So it really is taking into account that age and stage and looking at those types of things.
And how about Rachel?
So can I do nine instead of one?
Well, it's really, but it kind of wraps up everything everybody was just saying.
Sunshine, use of water, sleep, trust in God, abstaining from alcohol, drugs.
Inhale. We didn't talk a lot about breath, but just that deep breath. And this is good for the
trauma and stress as well. Just in and out the nose. Nutrition, which we talked about a lot.
Moderation and exercise.
This is actually Benjamin Franklin.
If you've ever looked at his list of things
to do every morning, and that probably
goes back to that morning routine,
comes a lot from that.
But ending it with exercise, all of that, all together
is that whole rounded.
Yeah, that can make a huge impact on somebody
just to observe all those things on a daily basis.
And it's so simple.
Sometimes you still have to have some self-motivation
to do even just the simplest of the things,
but to do all of it, sunshine, exercise.
Well, that was amazing.
And all of these tips are so crucial, I think.
And you can see why I love these ladies.
And I'm so grateful that you all were here,
that you shared some things that will help us improve that
are easy, that are easy to implement.
How can someone get a hold of you?
If they have questions about what you're doing,
do you have a place where they can just get a hold of you,
ask, maybe they have something that
has come up in their minds that they didn't quite understand?
How can they reach you?
I have a website, and it is www.wellhousehomeopathy.com.
So you can contact me, or I have two colleagues
that I work with as well.
So that's where you could reach me.
I have a website as well.
It's www.thecontroversialrn.com.
I love it.
So you can go there and find all about me on that website.
We actually have three different websites,
depending upon what people are looking for.
www.healthrecoveryministry.org is
where we get into a lot of the education information.
www.radicalresilience.health for all of those things that
are environmental preparation, just
being aware of what's going on in our environment right now
and how to really maintain resilience
through that in our home, in our family, in our community.
And then also, I have www.rrmylife.com,
which tends to be our for-profit, individual client
working site.
I don't have a website, but I do have an email address
for specific health questions.
And that is rachelterryhealth9 at gmail.com.
Well, thank you all, ladies.
And this has been so great.
I've loved it.
I've learned, again, some new things.
So we're so grateful to have you.
