Health Series 6: Beth Mielbrecht / Health Detective, Energy Medicine

1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,000
Welcome to another episode of
Come Together.

2
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,440
And we're live.
We're back with another episode.

3
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,000
Beth Milbrax, welcome.
So happy to have you here.

4
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,840
How are you?
Delighted to be here.

5
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,640
Thanks Efraim.
I'm so happy to have you on.

6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,440
I came across your profile on
Pod Match and, and I was

7
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:36,800
fascinated by the, the
transition from your engineering

8
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,720
background to your health, I
guess your health focus now and

9
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,640
your energy and health focus
now.

10
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,600
And So what I really, and I
guess the truth is that 50

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,480
minutes feels like it's perfect
for kind of a narrative and a

12
00:00:49,480 --> 00:00:52,560
story.
So I guess we, you know, could

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,200
you want to start by telling me
a little bit about your

14
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,880
background and where you know
where you're from and you know

15
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,520
how you know how this happened?
Oh, sure, sure.

16
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,600
So great.
Yeah, you're right.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,040
I am a mechanical engineer.
I'm an engineer, and engineers

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,400
like to solve problems.
And that is just a

19
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:15,920
characteristic of people who are
really practical, grounded, see

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,560
a problem, want to create a
solution, like to build things.

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,800
So your engineers are the ones
that build your cars and they

22
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,880
build your bridges and your
buildings, and then all the

23
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,960
boring stuff like make sure
there's heating and cooling and

24
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,840
all of all of that practical
stuff.

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,400
And I love doing that.
And I went to school, studied

26
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,560
engineering.
I am also a licensed

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,600
professional engineer in the
state of New York.

28
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,400
And but I've always been
fascinated by health.

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,880
I've been a student of health
for decades, and I decided to

30
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:56,560
switch to focus on health and
being a health detective when I

31
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,240
noticed that my friends and
family were very accepting of

32
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,720
their health limitations.
I would hear things like, I have

33
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,000
a migraine again this week.
It happens every week.

34
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,760
I don't know why that is.
I guess that's just life or have

35
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,600
an ache and pain in my hips and
I'll just have to wait till I

36
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,920
get a hip replacement someday.
There's nothing that can be done

37
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:25,440
right?
And I was pulling my hair out

38
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,880
because yes, you can know why
you're getting migraines Yes,

39
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,440
you don't have to live like
that.

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:38,080
Yes, you can heal the the
cartilage in your joints so that

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,000
you can move without pain.
You don't have to accept that.

42
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:46,280
And that's when I started on a
journey to figure out what is an

43
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,640
easy solution, What is the best
way to find out why?

44
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,840
Why people are hurting?
And they don't need to just

45
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,000
accept that that's the way life
is going to be.

46
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,400
Yeah, beautiful.
So you take that same kind of

47
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,000
mentality that made you a that
made you an engineer and the

48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,760
same kind of train of thought.
And you applied it to the people

49
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,400
that you care about around you
and said, hey, you know, if

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,600
there's a way that I could solve
problems in one way, then

51
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,000
there's got to be another.
You know, you could just take

52
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:18,040
the same school of thought and
apply it to to something else.

53
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:24,360
Exactly it's the same process
and pattern recognition will get

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,920
you so far.
You know you you know how to

55
00:03:28,920 --> 00:03:33,160
solve things based on you've
seen the situation before.

56
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,280
Let's try the same thing that
works really well with

57
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:41,840
emergencies when you have an
acute injury or there's been an

58
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:46,200
accident of some kind.
People know how to assess, how

59
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,880
to treat what's the best thing.
Yes, that is super important.

60
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,000
But if something's been
lingering for a long time and

61
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,520
that was basic patterns of
health techniques haven't helped

62
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080
you, you might want to look a
little closer.

63
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,440
And so that's when that's when
people come to me, when the

64
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,400
things they've tried don't work
anymore.

65
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:13,640
And so, yeah, as my background
is about digging in, do I see?

66
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:18,000
Yes, people come to me as last
resort, which is they've tried a

67
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,480
bunch of things and nothing's
working.

68
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:24,640
They don't know why and they're
tired with the traditional

69
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,080
answers that they're getting.
They're tired of going to

70
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,720
different specialists.
They've got one for everybody

71
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,880
part and it's not making sense
and they don't feel good.

72
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,080
Yeah, I just did a an episode
the other day with a pediatric

73
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,320
obesity surgeon, which was
really interesting and he's a

74
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,920
very, very sweet guy.
But one of the things that we

75
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,120
were talking about or one of the
things that he said, and and I

76
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,680
guess he was specifically
referring to obesity, He was

77
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,280
saying that, you know, there's
obviously many other factors

78
00:04:57,280 --> 00:05:00,520
other than when people today
feel like it's rah rah

79
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,040
lifestyle.
And he says it's, it's a little

80
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,040
bit more nuanced or a lot more
nuanced than that.

81
00:05:08,280 --> 00:05:15,640
But it felt that when he was
essentially kind of giving into

82
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,720
the fact and maybe he's right
as, you know, maybe he's maybe

83
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,640
he's right to do this.
Maybe he's just observing human

84
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,400
nature is like, people aren't
going to just change their

85
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,960
lifestyles forever, you know,
And like that kind of feels like

86
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,400
a little bit of a sad, a sad or
morose kind of perspective to,

87
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,080
you know, conclusion to come to,
which is that at the end of the

88
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,800
day, it's so overwhelming and
it's so exhausting and requires

89
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,120
so much effort to just change
your lifestyle that even people

90
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,360
that manage to do it for a
little bit, you know, you can't

91
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,320
expect them to do it forever.
So like, what are you going to

92
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:50,040
do?
And I'm not, I wasn't really

93
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,480
sure what I thought of that
about that.

94
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,240
You know, I think that again,
you know, part of the value of

95
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,400
the show is to allow people to
express opinions, you know, and,

96
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,320
and I think that I'm sure that
what he's saying is grounded in

97
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,840
20-30 years of experience and,
you know, with, with, with

98
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,360
obesity, with people that suffer
from obesity.

99
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,800
So I'm sure he has more
information than I do, but it

100
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:14,680
just kind of felt like a little
bit more of glass half empty or,

101
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,400
you know, like, you know, that
kind of perspective.

102
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,000
Do you find that people are
willing to really kind of change

103
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,560
their their their outlook once
they cut, once they start seeing

104
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,960
positive results?
Absolutely, yes they do.

105
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:37,600
Because yes, there is culture.
There is a a whole lot of

106
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,320
influences that want to keep you
on the same path that you're on.

107
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:49,480
And I think that if it becomes
important enough to you, you'll

108
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:53,000
make that change.
For example, if you're sensitive

109
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,200
to coffee, even though everyone
drinks coffee and it's such a

110
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,880
part of culture, if you realize
how it makes you feel and how it

111
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,120
affects your sleep, that might
just be for you as somebody else

112
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,560
might be fine with it.
But if that's you, you'll easily

113
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,800
in one day say I'm done.
Could be.

114
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:16,040
It could be alcohol.
It's so socially acceptable to

115
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,160
drink alcohol.
Everyone's wearing these

116
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,520
wearables.
They've got rings, watches, all

117
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,560
kinds of gadgets.
Track your sleep.

118
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,040
You know what's happening,
you'll know.

119
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Is sleep more important?
Maybe.

120
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,680
Sometimes it's more important to
be social and go out and drink

121
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,080
with my friends, and other times
it's not.

122
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
But you need to know and make
that decision.

123
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,880
I think that by time people
start working with me, they know

124
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,840
that they're responsible for
their lives.

125
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,720
Things don't just happen to
them.

126
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:54,360
They're responsible and then
they can decide if they want to

127
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320
make changes.
And if that's with what this

128
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,800
doctor was saying about their
lifestyle, about their food

129
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:06,880
choices, sure it is.
It could be seen as harder to

130
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:12,240
prepare food at home, but it's
so much more enjoyable.

131
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,080
There's so many more positive
things there's.

132
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:19,760
So I think that he might be
looking at a large swath of the

133
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:25,200
population who is in crisis.
And so he has that perspective.

134
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,760
But I say people need to they go
for it.

135
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,559
It it's totally worth it to make
the changes and change your

136
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,159
life.
Yeah, yeah, I, I have to agree.

137
00:08:37,159 --> 00:08:40,360
I think that I think, and it's
interesting because there's

138
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,720
almost like two types of
rationale when you're talking to

139
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,520
people is you could talk to a
group of people where you kind

140
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960
of make broad, you know,
generalizations.

141
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,800
And then there's talking to
individual and, you know, and

142
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:54,680
giving that kind of, you know,
like the, the famous metaphor of

143
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:56,560
the tree in the forest.
You know, you can't look at the

144
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:59,720
tree and pay attention to the
whole forest at the same time.

145
00:08:59,960 --> 00:09:02,520
And you can't pay look at the
whole forest and notice too much

146
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,080
about 1 particular tree at one
time either, you know.

147
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,640
And so life is about kind of
shifting your, your perspective.

148
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,520
Which one are you looking at?
Are you looking at the broad

149
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,800
spectrum or like the zoomed in
individuals?

150
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,920
And I think that, you know, like
what you just said, he's talking

151
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,560
about the crisis when it comes
to a broad population of people,

152
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,080
you know, but when you're
dealing with individuals, I

153
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,440
mean, I have to believe that you
say you can make that change.

154
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Like you can make that change as
you, you know, as a person.

155
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,800
I found that.
I found that yesterday.

156
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:36,200
I, I, I just started teaching
again.

157
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,000
So, you know, the summer ended
and school's back up again.

158
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,560
And I walked into class and I
got a, a class full of 9th

159
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:45,360
graders, you know, and then, and
they've already gotten the

160
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,040
notion in their head that
they're the dumb class because

161
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,200
they're, you know, because
they're ranked as, you know,

162
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,840
basic or whatever I'm looking at
like you guys are.

163
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,560
So with it, you guys are going
to do great this year.

164
00:09:56,560 --> 00:09:59,640
I'm, I'm so excited for you guys
to be able to like, I was like,

165
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,200
you might not be sitting at your
desk for all 45 minutes of the

166
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,680
day of the class, but you guys
are going to learn a lot.

167
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:07,160
I could tell.
And you could just feel the

168
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,520
shift in the room where like,
well, you know, where there

169
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,120
would be individual kids that
really, like, you saw like it,

170
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,720
it went into their heads that,
Hey, I'm, I am capable of, of

171
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,320
doing this.
And then the other kids like,

172
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,560
yeah, OK, what are you talking
about?

173
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:22,360
But it was far more, it was far
more positive than negative.

174
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,680
And I feel like people respond
accordingly.

175
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,960
If we have that kind of you can
do it mentality, people like,

176
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:32,080
yeah, I could, you know.
I love that and it's so

177
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,600
important.
I'm so glad that you're doing

178
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,320
that and you're conveying that
message.

179
00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:39,600
I tell people you can heal.
Your body wants to heal and

180
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,680
sometimes they think that's
impossible.

181
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,400
No, my, these bad things keep
happening.

182
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,320
It's not my fault.
It's I don't, I can't do

183
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,320
anything about it.
My body's falling apart.

184
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,760
It's attacking me.
No, it's not.

185
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,960
It wants to heal and I will hold
that just like you're holding it

186
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,520
for those 9th graders.
You're holding that baton that

187
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400
they can learn, they can excel,
they can and enjoy it while

188
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,640
they're doing it.
And I hold that for people with

189
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,040
health that you can heal.
It's awesome.

190
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,000
You really can.
How'd you so, So what?

191
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,640
How'd you get started?
You start by reading podcast

192
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,560
books, your own life, your own
family.

193
00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:18,560
How'd you get, how'd you get
started in terms of the health

194
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:21,080
journey and like how you get so
insane?

195
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:26,920
I guess it's always with myself.
So it just started with myself

196
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:36,760
as a observing how I grew up and
the food that I ate in my

197
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,520
prepared in like, you know,
McDonald's was a special treat

198
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:46,240
and I would get McDonald's and
like, wow, like I was a teenager

199
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,880
noticing like, wow, these French
fries are really addictive.

200
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,440
What is it about that?
Or, you know, back in back in

201
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,920
the day, iceberg lettuce was a
vegetable and that was

202
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,760
sufficient, you know, and then
just noticing that and how, how

203
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,160
I grew up through growing up, I
think I've been every diet I've

204
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,880
tried everything I love
experimenting on myself.

205
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:16,120
So I've been gluten free, I've
been a vegan, I've been

206
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,600
vegetarian.
I have been, you know, just food

207
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200
that I get from the farmers
market, just food that I

208
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,960
prepare.
I have then gone to just making

209
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:32,160
my own bone broth and meat that
I find at from local farmers.

210
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,640
So everything.
And then I'd see, well, how do I

211
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:39,520
feel when I do that?
And I've learned that one dogma

212
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,800
is not right even for me at all
times in my life, that when I am

213
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:51,320
busy raising my child, when I
was pregnant, when I am changing

214
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:54,560
into my later years, I have
different nutritional needs.

215
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,080
And if I don't adapt what I
want.

216
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,040
So you know, when I go to the
farmers market and I'm like, Oh

217
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:08,560
my goodness, I need to buy all
of these apples or a spinach, I

218
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,800
learned to listen to it.
So it started with me, but then

219
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,680
it also was with my son.
I have one son, he's 23 now.

220
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:23,480
And my whole journey into energy
medicine started with him.

221
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,320
So it started with I was a new
mom, he was an infant.

222
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,560
So you have children.
You know what this is like, your

223
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:37,120
baby is sleeping and you're
going to put your baby down in

224
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,760
the crib to keep sleeping and
don't want the baby to wake up.

225
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,280
So I know this is audio only,
but I have my hands cupped.

226
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:51,320
So I put his little body down
and then I walk, I back out of

227
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,240
the of his nursery and now my
hands are up and I'm backing

228
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,080
away.
Like, did I do it?

229
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:58,720
Did I do it?
Is he still sleeping?

230
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,320
I put him down, he's still
sleeping and I'm backing away.

231
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,720
And so my hands are raised up
like this and I'm halfway down

232
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:09,360
the hallway and I notice that it
feels like there's a steel cable

233
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:13,760
in between the palms of my hands
and his little body, like we're

234
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,760
connected.
What is that feeling?

235
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:22,400
I had never felt that before.
I had never felt a feeling of

236
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,840
energy in my hands before.
And as life would have it, then

237
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,840
all of these things came into my
world without me even asking for

238
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,200
it.
I took Reiki classes.

239
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,920
I learned about energy.
This is it's just crazy how it

240
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:44,400
all happens.
But basically my little boy was

241
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,120
telling me, hey mom, you need to
up level to take care of me.

242
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:53,320
I need you to understand energy.
I need you to understand me

243
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:57,440
better because this is what I
need to succeed and so.

244
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,360
When did he tell you this?
That's a pretty mature thing to

245
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:01,000
say.
He didn't.

246
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,960
I think that's what he was.
He didn't.

247
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,760
I mean, he's yeah, that's what I
think he sensed.

248
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,360
No, he did not have words.
He's a boy.

249
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,080
No, he did not have words.
Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha.

250
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,840
That's what I think he was
encouraging me to do so that

251
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,120
whenever as he grew up and
through his life, it was always

252
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,120
hands on.
And even though I took classes

253
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,880
and eventually I became a Reiki
master teacher and then I took

254
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,520
other energy type work and got
other certifications, It was

255
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:37,040
always about could I sense where
he wasn't balanced And he was

256
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,200
very, very receptive to that.
That was the primary method of

257
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,280
helping him.
And then also teaching him how

258
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,720
did he feel in his body after he
ate lots of bread, he had a

259
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:55,640
stomach ache and encouraging
him, OK, how does that feel?

260
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200
And developing language around
that.

261
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,080
And eventually he grew out of
that.

262
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,840
Of course, he's a teenager.
He ate tons of pizza.

263
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,080
And then what happens, it
becomes a little, it changes how

264
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,440
he reacts to different things.
So growing up and going through

265
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,920
that journey with him on how to
teach somebody else how to pay

266
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,680
attention to their body, because
I realized that I'm so in tune

267
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,880
with my own body and what feels
right to me.

268
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,880
It's a little unusual.
And I, I worked with him and he

269
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,320
and he was naturally born that
way.

270
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,920
So that's the how I got into
health.

271
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:38,640
And then I began to notice that
some people would eat certain

272
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:43,720
foods and then the next day say,
oh, I don't feel well, but not

273
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,560
realize that it had any
connection to the strange

274
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,920
combination of foods they ate
the day before.

275
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:56,400
They had no realization, yes.
And I, I thought how strange,

276
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,040
like I would put one bite of
food that didn't agree with me

277
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,600
in my mouth and I would notice
it right away.

278
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:06,000
So I realized that OK, people
have different delays and

279
00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:11,680
realizations within their body.
So that made me a natural for

280
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,240
exploring health.
Does your does your and how, how

281
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,400
receptive was your son to the to
all, to all these ideas as he

282
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,000
was growing up?
He's 23 now, right?

283
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:25,119
So as a teenager, as a young
adult, or, you know, you know,

284
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,400
what's, what was his, was he
like, OK, mom kind of thing?

285
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,040
Because my mom, when I was in
high school, my sister had

286
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,560
psoriasis and she changed her
diet and it totally, totally

287
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,320
helped.
And I used to have terribly dry

288
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,640
skin and dandruff.
And I always blamed it, see, on

289
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:44,480
the seasons.
I always blamed it like, OK,

290
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,200
well, it's cold in New York.
And I mean, I, we're, you know,

291
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,760
I mentioned I went to College in
Binghamton and I'm from

292
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,520
Rockland.
So, you know, we got cold

293
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,000
winters and and I would always
and then with the change of

294
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,960
seasons that always, you know,
I'd also get like, you know, I

295
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:03,160
get aggravated skin and I refuse
to.

296
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,080
And my mom would be like, you
have to change your diet.

297
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:06,680
The amount you're drinking is
not good.

298
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,000
The amount of pizza you're
eating is not good.

299
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,200
The amount of garbage that you
put and and they eat my Mama.

300
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,880
Come on.
It's not who are you talking

301
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:16,640
about?
It's not my food that I have

302
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,480
dandruff.
OK, don't be ridiculous.

303
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,520
And I mean, you know, Fast
forward a couple of years later

304
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,240
and it took me till I was like
doing my own work and figuring

305
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:27,200
it out my own way.
I'm like full circle.

306
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:28,920
I'm like, I call my mom like, Oh
my God, you're right.

307
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,560
You were right the whole time.
I'm so sorry.

308
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,640
You're right, you're right,
you're right, you're right.

309
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,920
You just wasted on the young.
I feel like an idiot.

310
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,800
I'm sorry.
And now what do I do about

311
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,160
making sure my kids don't do
this?

312
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,080
Because I was like, I don't want
them to go another 5-10 years

313
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,960
like I did and suffer like that,
you know?

314
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,360
So how is your how does your son
feel about about all this?

315
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,200
It's it's the exact same story,
exact same story.

316
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:55,840
You know all the sugar.
So why you know, I would talk to

317
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,320
him.
Well, how do you feel?

318
00:18:57,360 --> 00:18:59,760
Did you notice your skin is
breaking out?

319
00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:04,440
What are you eating?
He, he, he worked at, you know,

320
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,960
also in New York, there's
Wegmans everywhere.

321
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,080
He worked at Wegmans and, and,
and, and there's a bulk candy

322
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,240
aisle.
Gosh, you can, when he had his

323
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,160
own money, you know, you could
go buy as much candy as you want

324
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,040
or after Halloween, half price
Halloween candy.

325
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:24,160
Like, yes, he had to explore
that all himself, but because he

326
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,800
had grown up with trying, like
knowing how things felt in his

327
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,320
body, he was able to notice
like, wow, I'm not going to do

328
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,040
that again.
And yeah, it did take.

329
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:38,720
He did go through all those
years.

330
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,640
Peer pressure is intense.
And you want enormous and you

331
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,400
want to be just like everyone
else.

332
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,400
And so I get with like you
started at the beginning with

333
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:57,000
the obesity Dr. For for young
people, it is intense, but you

334
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:02,160
know, it's a little bit more
normalized now to be speaking

335
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,800
out and that's what I hope to
share with.

336
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,520
Yeah, yeah.
And and he so he went through

337
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,480
exactly the same thing as you.
That's great.

338
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,320
It's good to know that it's a,
it's a young man's journey, but

339
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:14,960
it also makes me a little
nervous about my son.

340
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,920
But I like you said, though, and
I really, I do believe this.

341
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,640
Like for example, my wife found
it.

342
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,400
My wife started, she loves this
now she started milling her own

343
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:27,280
flour and then using it as the
base for, you know, bread or

344
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
cookies or waffles or pizza or
whatever it is.

345
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,880
And like, you know, from and,
and she's like, I can't even

346
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,320
tell you how much nutrition is
in this flour that I'm milling

347
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,720
by myself that, you know, that
we're deprived of in

348
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,160
commercially, in commercial, you
know, bread and pizza and stuff

349
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,400
like that.
And, you know, the preservatives

350
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,160
apparently that they put into
that, that allows the bread to

351
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,880
stay fresh for so long actually
eats away at the potential

352
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,600
nutrients that we would be
getting otherwise.

353
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,760
So she's like, the food's not
going to be fresh for a month

354
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,760
like it is in the supermarket,
but we're just making for the

355
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:01,160
house anyway.
So, you know, we'll have it for

356
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,600
dinner one night and then we'll,
you know, Saturday night's pizza

357
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,920
night.
Well, we'll make our own pizza

358
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:09,440
with our own, you know, So I'm
kind of hoping that that by

359
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,840
introducing this at an early
age, that he that his body

360
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,200
consciously or unconsciously
will say, hey, you know, sure.

361
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,560
This is this is not something
that you should be, you know,

362
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,920
eating right now or like, OK,
like this is this is this is

363
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,080
acceptable.
This is pretty good.

364
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,200
And I and I hope that it kind of
be able, is able to tell him

365
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:31,320
that in the future.
What other aspects of energy,

366
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,320
because people hear energy
healing and they kind of take a

367
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,760
step back.
There's a very strong

368
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,240
disassociation, like when I tell
my high schoolers that we're

369
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,720
going to do poetry and they're
like poetry.

370
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,320
And I'm like, you don't even
know what poetry is.

371
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,560
I was like, you know that
feeling.

372
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,280
And then I described to him
yesterday, it was so funny.

373
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,040
I was like, imagine the feeling.
You walk into a pizza shop and

374
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,160
the smell of that brick oven
just smacks you in the face.

375
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,840
And then you and then you smell
the flower and you feel the

376
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,680
flower in the air that's
underneath the dough.

377
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,840
And they're like, yeah, I'm
like, you know, they're like,

378
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,400
oh, yeah, that's awesome.
Like that's poetry.

379
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,400
I was like, whatever.
I just whatever I just said to

380
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,200
you, that's poetry.
It's not a bad thing.

381
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,320
It's going to be OK.
You're going to be fine with it.

382
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,280
So can you, can you elaborate a
little bit on the energy healing

383
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,240
and what and what the
foundations are and what the

384
00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,520
ideas are?
Absolutely.

385
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:21,920
Yeah, Energy healing is popular
in some circles but really

386
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,560
distrusted in others.
I don't use it a lot.

387
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,600
I don't use the phrase energy
healing because of that reason.

388
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:33,480
It's, you know, it's people who
do yoga and lead retreats in

389
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,680
Bali and Mexico that and that's
true.

390
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,120
Energy healing does happen in
that way.

391
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:47,280
I like energy medicine.
To me, energy medicine has many

392
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:52,480
proven science based
methodologies.

393
00:22:53,200 --> 00:23:00,040
One of them is homeopathy.
Homeopathy is using diluted

394
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:07,600
substances that make a reaction
in your body and that encourages

395
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,960
increased communication and
healing.

396
00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:13,200
It's the trigger for your body
that says this is what I need.

397
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,280
Homeopathy.
There's one.

398
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:22,080
Another one is acupuncture.
So some people are not sure that

399
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,040
we have energy running in our
bodies, but we do.

400
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:28,320
And they're they're going
highways called meridians.

401
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
And acupuncture's been around
for so long.

402
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:38,160
You put, you stimulate points on
the body and then it unblocks.

403
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800
It encourages healing.
So that is also energy medicine,

404
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,120
Reiki, that's hands on healing.
It can be done at a distance or

405
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:49,480
in person.
That's energy medicine as well.

406
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,600
So energy medicine has these
things, Reiki.

407
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:55,480
Or what's the OK?
What's the idea behind it?

408
00:23:57,120 --> 00:24:01,600
So here, here it is.
Every single person on this

409
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,640
planet is an energy healer.
All of us, we all you know we

410
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,640
have intentions.
We can use our hands.

411
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,200
We put our hands on our kids.
We put our hands on our heads

412
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:19,280
when we don't feel well.
We know we rub high 5 you you

413
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:22,760
you, you.
You run into a doorway.

414
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,760
You rub your arm.
You know you you not naturally

415
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:32,560
use energy healing.
Reiki is a format that was

416
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,640
channeled or downloaded by a
Japanese man in the 1930s.

417
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,440
So it has a Japanese name.
And because he's a Japanese man,

418
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:47,200
it came through in his culture
which said let's have a

419
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,560
procedure, let's have a step by
step process, let's have some

420
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,720
symbols, and all the symbols are
Japanese characters.

421
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,640
We don't need any of that.
It's a good framework for people

422
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,320
who want to learn.
But once you know that, you can

423
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,360
feel it.
You don't need any structure

424
00:25:06,360 --> 00:25:10,480
whatsoever.
All energy healing is a format

425
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,480
to get you comfortable with
trusting your own intuition,

426
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:20,520
being able to be clear and use
the energy of the universe, not

427
00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,600
your own.
You know, there's a difference

428
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,280
between giving of yourself and
giving from the universe.

429
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:33,760
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so, so Reiki is, is hands on

430
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,680
healing or distance healing.
And there could you could follow

431
00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:40,800
a format or not.
I don't.

432
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,800
Once I learned the, the format,
I left it behind.

433
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,200
I I just say, hey, this is what
we need to do today.

434
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,160
And so when I was when I was a
Reiki practitioner, it was all

435
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,320
free form, but it was nice to
have a framework to learn, to

436
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,800
get started.
Just like when you're going to

437
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,840
teach your students poetry, you
might have some guidelines or

438
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,320
some, here's a framework you
could follow to get you started.

439
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,320
You know, we could follow a
haiku or we could follow, I

440
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,080
don't know, some other format.
I'm thinking of iambic

441
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,520
pectameter.
Something like like, hey, there

442
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,800
is something that is really hard
to do or it's really easy to do,

443
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:25,600
but you don't have to do any of
those things to talk about pizza

444
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,880
as poetry.
So the same with energy.

445
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:35,160
And that's how I explain Reiki.
So what applications would you

446
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,560
use Reiki?
And if someone like if, how

447
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,200
would you determine like which
tool in your toolbox do you do

448
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,200
you use?
Because I feel like you know

449
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,200
when you have so many.
Different options, yeah.

450
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,600
Yeah, please.
So right now I don't see any

451
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:58,280
clients one-on-one for Reiki as
a as a stand alone practice at

452
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,760
all.
That is right now I use Reiki as

453
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,280
part of what I do in my
precision healing method

454
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,640
program.
I use Reiki when I'm used doing

455
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:14,720
trapped emotion release.
So I have, I try to combine all

456
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,040
of the tools that I have into
one program.

457
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:22,560
And for there's one aspect that
I do called trapped emotion

458
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,200
release.
And for that I do, I call it

459
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:32,000
switching into Reiki mode, which
is just switching into

460
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,480
connecting with my guides, my
teachers, my clients, guides and

461
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,680
teachers and asking to release
something that they don't need

462
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,440
any more, something that they
have said, hey, I'm ready to

463
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:50,080
release this horrible feeling.
I don't want it any more than I

464
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:55,920
go in and help facilitate that.
And that's one aspect of what I

465
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:57,600
do in the precision healing
method.

466
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:05,800
That would apply to something
like an emotional pain or trauma

467
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:09,240
that manifests in your body that
you're trying to alleviate and

468
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,600
get rid of.
That's.

469
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,800
What it would be so in.
Yeah.

470
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:19,440
So there's two types of
emotional issues that I help my

471
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,000
clients with. 1 is how you're
feeling right now.

472
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:30,560
You've got grief or you're
stressed or there's some you're

473
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,680
just struggling in some way and
there could be all kinds of

474
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,120
reasons what that is.
So that's your day-to-day and

475
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:40,560
you're you're dealing with this
that needs different support

476
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,080
than something that's been
buried from a long time ago.

477
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,320
That is just an underlying
dread.

478
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,760
You know, you experience
something horrible a long time

479
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,240
ago.
You thought you were over it,

480
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,080
but every once in a while like
what is this?

481
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,760
Why does this fear come up to
me?

482
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:02,440
I like it because I'm an
engineer.

483
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,800
I want the quickest and fastest
solution.

484
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,360
I am not a therapist.
If you think you need to have

485
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,360
therapy about this old issue, go
see a therapist.

486
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,280
That's definitely not my
specialty.

487
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:21,920
So if when I find out that you
don't even have to know what it

488
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:26,400
is, because through bioenergetic
testing, I will ask is there

489
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:28,240
something that needs to be
released?

490
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,680
Then if something comes up, then
I will release it.

491
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,920
And you may have a memory of it
or maybe you don't.

492
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,280
So there's your current emotions
and then there is old stuck

493
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:44,360
stuff.
And you know what?

494
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,400
Old stuck emotions tend to
settle in areas of weakness in

495
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:57,960
your body really when like like
things that don't heal, there's

496
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,960
usually some emotions that are
kind of tied up in it.

497
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,680
If it just won't get better
after you try everything you've

498
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,440
been to the physical therapist
and like, but my back still

499
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,120
hurts.
Well, because there's an

500
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:13,120
emotional component to it.
So you can do all the exercises,

501
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,640
do all the physical therapy, but
there's probably, you probably

502
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,280
need to look at the emotions as
well.

503
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,400
That's fascinating.
That's so interesting.

504
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:26,600
I what's fascinating, just
reflecting for a minute of my

505
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:30,200
own life, is that I was very I
am, but for a long time I was

506
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,680
very fear driven my whole life.
And that includes fear of

507
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,800
physical confrontation as well.
And I forced myself a couple of

508
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:45,560
months ago to start taking jiu
jitsu and the starting to do jiu

509
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:51,280
jitsu right, which by definition
means I'm getting I'm using all

510
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,240
parts of my body I have never
used in my entire life.

511
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,800
I was I I've gone through the
last couple of months this like

512
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,520
real legitimate period of
working out a lot.

513
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:08,960
I've been a whole other layer or
dimension has been triggered and

514
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,520
I'm and I'm so curious if it has
to do with this newfound

515
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:16,080
physical expression.
And I know that and I've been

516
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,920
grappling and working with and
building and making

517
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:22,640
breakthroughs in really, really
amazing ways, you know, with,

518
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,000
with parts of myself that I've
really never been even even able

519
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:30,240
to look face to face at.
And, and I'm putting that

520
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,120
together also because my wife
had gone a couple of months back

521
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,160
to what's called the dance
therapy class.

522
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,840
And it was also that same
notion, which is that our body

523
00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,760
stores and our body keeps trauma
and fit in different physical

524
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,800
places.
And by day, you know, by actual,

525
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,560
you know, physical emotions set
to set to different music, you

526
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:53,280
can actually kind of release it
or access it and pinpoint it.

527
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,880
And I really do believe in all
that.

528
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,320
I really think that, I mean, I
don't, I think that anyone

529
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,920
that's had these experiences are
these experiences are so

530
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:07,200
profound and so clear and so
tangible that like you can't

531
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,400
ever say that you can't, you
lose a lot of skepticism just

532
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,640
based on your experience, which
is really, really cool.

533
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,240
I'm so glad you're doing that.
The best way to move emotion and

534
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,920
metabolize the emotion is
through movement.

535
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Acknowledge it and then move it
out.

536
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:31,160
So if you were feeling like,
Hey, this feels weird, but I'm

537
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:36,160
going through jiu jitsu and you
kept shoving it down, you would

538
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,840
just be compacting it and
shoving it and keeping it there.

539
00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,640
But the fact that you're saying,
hey, I acknowledge this.

540
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,920
You're, you're letting your body
move it out because right, your

541
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,120
issues are in your tissues so
You Can Dance it out.

542
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,120
Some people like all different
ways.

543
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,960
There's so many different ways
to do it.

544
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:57,160
It's not just one way.
And that is great because now

545
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,000
you are able to stand in a new
place without being burdened by

546
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,800
old stuff.
And so you know, what I find out

547
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:07,240
is sometimes it's not even your
own stuff.

548
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,600
Sometimes it's inherited,
sometimes it's absorbed from

549
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:17,400
someone else.
Sometimes the people's emotions

550
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:21,120
aren't even their own.
They're inherited or observed

551
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,480
from somebody else.
And so it's really good when you

552
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,520
move your body and get those
out.

553
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,560
You don't need to carry other
people's stuff.

554
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:33,040
I'm actually recording an
episode next week, I hope,

555
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:37,600
unless it's subject to change,
but with someone that actually a

556
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:41,520
therapist that works with
intergenerational trauma, which

557
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:46,520
I'm really fascinated by because
my own family history is my my

558
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,400
boats.
Both my mother's parents are

559
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,160
were survivors of the Holocaust.
And so the type of household

560
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,880
that she grew up in obviously
was going to be pretty different

561
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:00,680
than, you know, the typical
American household or, you know,

562
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:02,920
typical, you know, household
that a lot of people are growing

563
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,960
up in, growing up with two
survivors from such a, you know,

564
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:10,480
tragedy.
And you can see very, very

565
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:15,040
clearly, like what traits, you
know, and what perspective and

566
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:20,199
what kind of attitudes are
passed down out of like almost

567
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:22,560
genetic necessity, out of
biological necessity.

568
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,520
You know, it's really, really
fascinating.

569
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,080
And so it's, it's so cool to
think that certain events could

570
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:32,080
mean so much that your bot that
your genes say, you know what,

571
00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:34,600
your children are going to need
this and your grandchildren are

572
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,760
going to need this experience.
So we're going to just like pass

573
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,920
it along to them and make sure
that it sticks with them because

574
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,280
that's how important this is.
It's so fascinating.

575
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:53,239
It is and so emotions get passed
down also nutrient deficiencies

576
00:34:53,320 --> 00:35:00,600
get passed down, environmental
toxicities like heavy metals or

577
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:04,960
pesticide residue, like they get
passed down as well.

578
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:09,480
And so being able to clean up
your own body and take care of

579
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:14,400
yourself, doing the best you can
is the best key for health.

580
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:20,080
Looking at yourself from all
perspectives, I don't think that

581
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:27,160
there is ever an end to trying
to figure out how can I be

582
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:31,520
healthier when you don't feel
good, when you don't feel good

583
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,680
or something's bothering you,
There's so many avenues to

584
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,200
explore.
It's never just one thing.

585
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:43,960
So whether you work with any any
kind of practitioner, there's

586
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:48,040
always more and it's best to
have an open mind because we're

587
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,520
learning things all the time.
That's fascinating that you're

588
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:55,720
going to have a guest on about
intergenerational trauma.

589
00:35:55,720 --> 00:35:57,160
Yeah, I'm really excited about
it.

590
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,640
I'm really excited about it.
And I think that because it's

591
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,880
also, there's also the vice
versa, right?

592
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,280
There are traits that, you know,
if my grandfather, my

593
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,600
grandmother would have been far
more necessary.

594
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,000
And for me, it's not useful to
have.

595
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,560
And so for me, I have to just, I
have to discard that, you know,

596
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,680
even though genetically it's
dispositioned in me.

597
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:22,120
And then physically, actually
also the pediatric that a doctor

598
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,560
that I spoke to the other day
said, I, he said that there were

599
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:29,200
studies that the, the amount of
sugar that our bodies are like

600
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:33,120
kind of used to and our ability
to process it start from the

601
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,760
first, I think in the like from
conception for the first two

602
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:41,080
years that the baby's alive.
So, you know, nine months in the

603
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,840
womb and then two years.
And then when the baby turns 3,

604
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,400
that's where the point gets set.
But if, you know, even a even

605
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:50,880
even a mother that's carrying
has to be conscientious as to

606
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,480
what she's consuming because
she's passing that on to her,

607
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:58,640
that passing on to the kid.
And my wife gave birth just four

608
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,160
or five months ago, thank God.
And you know, thank God

609
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,880
everything was OK.
But it was really it, you know,

610
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,840
we were talking the nurse and
the baby was 77172.

611
00:37:08,240 --> 00:37:11,080
And the nurse said she's been
seeing babies that are 12,

612
00:37:11,080 --> 00:37:15,320
thirteen, 14 lbs at birth.
And I'm like, I've never even

613
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,120
heard like 10 was considered
massive when I, you know, when I

614
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,680
was growing up and with my
family.

615
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,240
And she said that you know that
a lot of this has to do with

616
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,760
genetics getting passed down
from conception.

617
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:32,800
Yeah, wow, Wow.
Well, congratulations to you and

618
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,320
your new little one.
It's great to have a healthy

619
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,200
baby.
And you know, that brings up

620
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:44,760
another point of nowadays when I
hear from people who come to me

621
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:49,280
and they say I got my blood test
back and it says I'm normal

622
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:51,440
here, but not normal someplace
else.

623
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:53,960
Wait a minute.
What does normal mean?

624
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:58,760
Normal means that the lab
company is comparing you to an

625
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,280
average population.
Do you want to be compared to an

626
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,600
average population?
Is that average population

627
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:07,280
healthy?
It's not comparing it to healthy

628
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:08,840
people.
It's comparing it to an average

629
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,920
population.
So you know, and, and is that

630
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,640
the best indicator and the best
marker?

631
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:18,760
That's a whole nother story.
But yeah, averages, you know,

632
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:26,240
you look at it, clothing sizes,
chair sizes, things are things

633
00:38:26,240 --> 00:38:29,560
are changing based on how the
population is evolving.

634
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,320
Is that what you want to do?
Even things like daily

635
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:37,200
recommended you like average
daily recommended sugar or carbs

636
00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:38,960
or whatever.
I'm sure that the goal post gets

637
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:40,880
moved around.
I mean, I don't know if I don't

638
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,360
know for certain, but I could
just imagine that as time goes

639
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,000
on that, you know, the things
change.

640
00:38:46,400 --> 00:38:47,760
Last question.
Now you have to go in a couple

641
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,120
of minutes.
Last thing that I wanted to talk

642
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:53,160
to you about, I think is one of
the more important things or the

643
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:58,320
more inspiring things is how you
can, how you had the courage to

644
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:01,200
make such a, you know,
significant change in your life,

645
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,120
career change or profession
change or, you know, after

646
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,160
having a whole career.
Because I know that some things

647
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:10,200
that most people, a lot of
people I know, at least whether

648
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,120
it's anecdotally with family or
whether it's friends or things I

649
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:18,200
read, is that people feel like
you build to you're 30, maybe

650
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,320
you're 40 and then like you kind
of close the rest of your life.

651
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,360
And I personally disagree, you
know, but it's easy for me to

652
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:28,240
say as a 30 year old, you know,
can you, can you elaborate a

653
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:30,880
little bit as to like what that,
what your whole experience was

654
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:35,640
like for a couple minutes?
Sure, yes.

655
00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:40,920
I hope that I'm a different
person tomorrow than I am today.

656
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:45,480
I hope that I'm a different and
better person next year than I

657
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,800
am this year.
I'm always looking to grow.

658
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,840
I'm not afraid of making a
change.

659
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,840
I've been successful in
everything I do.

660
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:59,440
I have no reason to doubt that I
wouldn't be successful in this

661
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,480
new direction.
Listen, there's plenty of work.

662
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,240
People need solutions.
I am.

663
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:12,840
I have a fearlessness and I have
a vision and I see it so

664
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:15,760
clearly.
I'm confident in the results

665
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:18,800
that I've gotten for my clients.
They the results speak for

666
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,160
themselves and they've written
testimonials for me.

667
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,520
Whether or not this is the right
business at the right time,

668
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,400
whether it's popular, doesn't
matter to me.

669
00:40:29,720 --> 00:40:33,440
I get people reaching out to me
all the time saying do you want

670
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,480
to scale your business and scale
it and grow up to these, you

671
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,560
know, enormous numbers.
And I write back and I say, this

672
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:44,960
is not a scalable business.
This this is me doing something

673
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:49,200
I'm passionate about one-on-one
with my clients.

674
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:53,840
No, this is not a franchise.
This is not replacing me with an

675
00:40:53,960 --> 00:40:58,840
AI tool.
This is personal health coaching

676
00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:03,800
and bioenergetic testing.
So I feel so strongly about it

677
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,160
and that vision is what carries
me through.

678
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,800
And there's plenty of times
where it's, it can be hard.

679
00:41:11,080 --> 00:41:15,280
It can be hard explaining
something that's new to people

680
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,360
who are based in the traditional
mindset.

681
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,120
So I always look for the success
I've seen with myself and my

682
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,680
family and my clients and I stay
grounded.

683
00:41:28,240 --> 00:41:37,360
I'm not looking for success as
determined by LinkedIn or the

684
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,920
Internet.
I'm looking for it as defined by

685
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:44,600
what lights me up.
And have I made health

686
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:48,120
transformations possible for
people who didn't think that

687
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,800
they could have transferred
health transformations, People

688
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,240
who thought that they were stuck
forever and nothing would ever

689
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:57,000
change, and then they did.
Yeah.

690
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:04,520
That's that's what I thrive on.
So my vision helps keep me

691
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,360
grounded.
And yes, if you want a highly

692
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:12,600
scalable business where you can
sell to a venture capitalist,

693
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:17,560
this is not the right business.
But if you want to make a

694
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,920
difference in people's lives, it
is.

695
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,360
Yeah.
So how so?

696
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:23,800
Well, that, yeah.
So what advice do you think

697
00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:27,800
you'd give someone that feels
like, you know what, like for

698
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,680
example, my mom, right, my mom,
just my youngest, my youngest

699
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,600
brother's 14.
He's just starting high school,

700
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,600
which means the house is going
to be empty for the first time

701
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:39,400
in 30 years for her.
I she has six kids and you know,

702
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,320
she's used to being Mama bear
and, you know, and, and she has

703
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:44,440
grandkids that live nearby, but
for the first time, things going

704
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,520
to be quiet, you know, like
she's like, well, what do I do?

705
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:48,040
At this point in my life?
I'm 55.

706
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,760
I'm so, you know, whatever it is
and I, I got AI got a lot of

707
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,280
life left.
What do I but you know, I spent

708
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,200
the last 30 years, you know
what?

709
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,320
How do I, how do I do this?
What do you think?

710
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:02,640
Yeah, everyday say, what brings
me joy?

711
00:43:02,760 --> 00:43:04,640
What do I want to learn?
What?

712
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:08,160
How can I take care of myself
when I couldn't have taken care

713
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,560
of myself before?
Is it walking?

714
00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:14,480
Is it weightlifting?
What do I want to learn?

715
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:17,800
So the first step is she's not
going to even know what she

716
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,880
enjoys because her enjoyment is
from giving to everyone else.

717
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:28,520
So it's describing and finding
what she likes and learning that

718
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,920
again.
And at this time of her life, I

719
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,640
mean, she is just getting
started.

720
00:43:32,720 --> 00:43:37,320
All of that emotional and mental
energy that she's given to you

721
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:41,960
and your siblings, she now has
to create something for herself.

722
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,120
Maybe her health is great and
she doesn't even need to focus

723
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:46,840
on that.
Maybe there'll be some other

724
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:49,480
passion.
So the first question is, what

725
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,320
lights me up?
What brings me joy?

726
00:43:51,720 --> 00:43:54,560
How can I learn about that and
do that a little more?

727
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,760
And if there's something in her
health that she's been putting

728
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,480
off, now is the time she can
start taking little baby steps

729
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:06,720
towards movement and food and
finding new things that bring

730
00:44:06,720 --> 00:44:09,480
her joy.
Beautiful, Beth.

731
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:12,560
I really appreciate the time.
I'm sorry the, the audio got a

732
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,040
little choppy over there.
I'm sorry about the technical

733
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:17,560
issues, but this was really so
much fun.

734
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:19,840
Maybe we'll do Part 2 a couple
of months down the line.

735
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:21,840
This is such a, this is so much
fun.

736
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,840
I feel like I want to, I want
to, we could talk a lot more and

737
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,040
I really appreciate the time.
I think that what you're doing

738
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,960
is wonderful and I think that
you should keep it up and you

739
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,680
should have a lot of success.
And this is really so nice

740
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:34,720
getting to talk to you a little
bit.

741
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,440
Thank you so much Efraim, have a
great day.

742
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:38,640
You too.
Take care.

743
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,800
I'll be in touch.
Bye bye.

744
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:40,200
Bye bye.
