Your host Scott Mulvaney and Dr. Todd Cevene discuss the benefits of natural weight loss approaches over pharmaceutical solutions. Dr. Cevene, who has helped over 75,000 people and has 74 providers in 38 states, emphasizes the importance of addressing metabolic issues and insulin resistance. He highlights the success of his program, which averages 32+ pounds and 20+ inches of weight loss in 90 days, without exercise. They also touch on the limitations of traditional healthcare, the role of personal accountability, and the potential of compounding pharmacies. Dr. Sabine advocates for a holistic approach to health, focusing on diet and lifestyle changes. Todd Cevene emphasizes that effective health strategies, such as weight loss and blood sugar management, must be consistently applied and monitored for results. He stresses the importance of setting a good example for children, as they learn more from observing actions than from words. Scott agrees, noting the influence of parents' behaviors on their children's habits. They both advocate for passing on positive health knowledge to future generations.

05:00 – When you see commercials for semi glutides or GLP-1's, they're compounded, the feds have made those against the law out there and now illegal to compound, beginning next month, so you use a name brand prescription. The reason for that is because, when you're doing the peptides, they aren't regulated, so you don't know. It could be a guy in a bathtub in China with his cat, and they're making them, and you're pumping that into your body hoping it's going to make a difference.
28:40 – So without sounding too sarcastic with it, so in that same vein, if you say people want to be healthy, people that we talked about asking like the GLP compound of drugs, or the GLP weight loss drugs, people healthy will also start eating healthy. If you're taking those medications and you're just eating one piece of pizza instead of three, that's not help.
31:20 – The metabolic ones, insulin, blood sugars, leptin, ghrelinn, adeno, pectin, etc. So when you start to control those metabolically, you start to burn more unhealthy fat than sugar, which is what people try to control on the Keto Diet, right? The Keto Diet is not bad as long as you can sustain it. But the average person can't sustain it, unlike you'd mentioned, you're able to do that. The average person can't necessarily sustain that. So the way you keep weight off forever is you find a way for that particular patient so they can have the freedom to eat what they want, "within reason", and still lose weight. So psychologically, if you feel like you're not dieting and you're losing inches of fat and weight, we're on the home stretch.
52:55 – I was looking at again for a panel of like, 20 med spas that are starting this, and they're getting rid of GLP1's, they're going for a program. The average patient loses 32.8 pounds. This is within a 90 day mark, and they lose up to 20.2 inches within 60 days. The average person loses two clothing sizes, or 10% of your body weight in 60 days is a very safe bet, like bet your house with a kid in it and take it to the bank.
58:45 – Final Words
Our Final Words of the Show:
The impact of children seeing mothers inject weight loss drugs to lose weight versus making healthy choices comes to them. Our own girls have told us over and over and over again, I can't believe how bad everybody else eats, or I went to my friend's house and the whole family is literally sitting around consuming bags of chips, and I couldn't believe it. There wasn't fruit, there wasn't anything like natural veggies with the meal. They're just astonished that not everybody does that, who needs that. So it's, again, it was kind of an aha moment to me that you're impacting families, and that how far that goes with kids and everything else as well. For all the women out there that have children or men that have children, that can become more aware, this is what they see and what they learn.

Scott Mulvaney welcomes todays guest co-host, Dr. Torkil Færø, a freelance doctor from Norway with 26 years of experience. They discuss the importance of health, lifestyle balance, and technology in disease prevention and management. Dr. Færø emphasizes the role of wearables in monitoring health metrics like heart rate, stress levels, and sleep patterns. He shares his personal journey of losing 40 pounds and improving his health after his father's death. They also touch on the limitations of traditional medical education and the potential of technology to empower individuals to take control of their health. Torkil's book, "The Pulse Cure," has been a success in Norway, focusing on heart rate variability and stress management. Scott and Dr. Færø discuss the benefits of heart rate variability (HRV) monitoring, particularly through wearable technology. Mulvaney shares his interest in using HRV to help his wife, a former on-call doctor, improve her sleep and circadian rhythm. Dr. Faarvaer highlights the application of HRV in veterinary medicine and with handicapped children. They emphasize the importance of personalized health management, noting that HRV data can reveal stress levels and improve self-awareness. Dr. Færø also mentions the feedback from thousands of users on Instagram, supporting the book's findings. They agree on the value of wearable technology in empowering individuals to take control of their health.
Dr Torkil Færø is a GP and emergency physician, documentary filmmaker, author and photographer. Over a 26-year career as a freelance doctor, he has worked all over Norway, had hundred thousand consultations and thus gained a unique picture of the diseases that plague us. He learned that the cause is most often found in the stresses our lifestyles place on our bodies. When his father died at 73, he realized that he had to change his own lifestyle. Being 40 pounds overweight, under-trained, over-stressed, under-slept and drinking alcohol daily, he learned that this lifestyle could deprive him of decades. Using wearables he found a way to track and regulate his nervous system and physiology.

Timestamped Show Notes:
18:45 – Now we can use the technology on ourselves. That is just a major shift in the power in the healthcare system, where you take the power from the hospitals and the doctors and the different practitioners and you put it into your own hand. You have control with the wearables, with smart watches, with smart rings like Oura. Keeping track of the heart rate, your pattern of movement, the temperatures and your oxygen levels that these can track, and you get the control of your health.
30:45 – According to Whoop, like the Whoop band on my on my right arm here, they are gathering health information from their users. By far, the worse stresser is alcohol, and that is what I used to drink. I was thinking it was calming me down, helping me to sleep, but the sleep is just terrible under the influence of alcohol.
01:02:00 – I have some of the grounding aka earthing topic in my book that is out now in Norway, called The Rest Cure. Discussing stress, it's about exercise, it's about sleep, it's about active rest, how you can calm yourself down. That seems to be the hardest thing for people. So that is why my publisher wanted a book only on the rest part of The Pulse Cure. That actually became a larger book than The Post Cure on 250 pages exploring how you can rest and what you do with the wearables so you can measure your rest. You may be thinking that you're resting, but the wearable health tech will show that you have either been eating something you cannot tolerate, or you have been stressing so much that your body can't get into the parasympathetic state, even if you think you're relaxing. So that is why it's important to also have this measurable rest that you can see on your watches or rings that your heart rate is in the parasympathetic mode.
01:25:00 – Final Words
Our Final Words of the Show:
The message would have to be that you are in more control of your health than maybe you think, and that it is easier to do it with feedback from wearables. I would end with the first words in my book, The Pulse Cure, it's from Albert Schweitzer, the doctor who says, the doctor of the future will be yourself. So now we're kind of already there. We have we can have control, and we can be our own doctors.

Dr. Patel, a pharmacist with 30 years of experience, explains the challenges of delivering glutathione orally and the success of his patented transdermal glutathione technology. He highlights the importance of maintaining high glutathione levels to combat oxidative stress and prevent diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Dr. Patel shares his personal journey and success stories, including his father's significant health improvements after using his product. They emphasize the need for personal health accountability and the potential of glutathione to enhance brain function and athletic performance. Nayan Patel shared the story of his father, who at 84 underwent double knee replacements and quickly recovered, walking out of the hospital two days post-surgery. Despite being advised to rest, his father traveled extensively, including to India and Africa. Despite a fall resulting in a skull fracture and internal bleeding, his father remained positive and resilient. Nayan emphasized the importance of mindset and glutathione supplementation, which he believes played a crucial role in his father's recovery. He also discussed the broader impact of his work, aiming to help millions through his company, Auro Wellness, and his book, "The Glutathione Revolution."

06:30 – It's just crazy how much money they're making. But one thing that did not work was liposomal glutathione, and it doesn't work on me. I said, wait a second, I was getting results, but not getting results for everything, not for all my patients.
10:35 – I started looking at the research, and I figured out that in 1991 there was a study done. It's published in the in the NIH, now on the PubMed, so it's all over the place, that they give two grams of IV push, of glutathione, 100% of glutathione was in the urine in five to fifteen minutes.
19:15 – The body is absorbing it, breaking it down, taking all the building blocks and producing its own glutathione. Now, if you have a gene mutation, gstp, gstm or GGT, if you have enzyme defects, you cannot conjugate glutathione. I don't care what product you take.
37:18 – So that's the reason why glutathione is so important to everybody to keep this door shut at all times on the bad. But now, if you shut the door down and there is a damage inside your body, you still have to fix the damages. You still have to eat the right nutrients and do the right things, or people do stem cells therapy, or people do all kinds of things to basically get all the dirt ready. Yeah, once the dirt is ready and dumped into the liver, guess what, glutathione can go back and take the dirt and get rid of it too.
52:00 – So for healthy subjects, we find out what the dose was going to be. It started after we released the product in 2020, then we found out that many of the people, they are sick, they need higher glutathione. So a year later is when we released the stronger version. So the stronger version is good for people that have high needs of glutathione, and it's just a temporary need. Anyways, they use it for three months, six months, up to a year, year and a half, and then they go back to the regular version for rest of their life. Keep in mind, the body recycles things. 50% of glutathione gets recycled by the body, which is due to oxidative stress. If it's conjugation, the body gets destroyed. The body destroys all the glutathione. If you drink alcohol, all the glutathione is destroyed.
56:30 – So you can quit alcohol today. You can help heal, you can aid your body. It takes some help with glutathione to kind of do the work for liver until the liver gets healthy, but in 12 to 15 months, you can literally improve your liver health to go back to normal as best as possible again, which is essential for long term health.

Our Final Words of the Show:
I have created this thing, not for my personal growth. It's to help serve mankind. I'm here to make sure that everybody has a hope, a chance to survive, chance to thrive, chance to live the full potential of their life. My job is to give the essential building block, the most important molecule that the body needs, and provide how to make sure that nobody's ever deprived of that one. I'm spending my time and resources to educate people, because in the marketplace, there's so much noise that the people are kind of getting buried into this sea of information. So how do you find the right information, that is true for you. So I'm out there bustling and hustling and talking to anybody and everybody and any doctor that they call, so called gurus of glutathione. I will talk to them head on and explain to them my technology. So far, I have never failed a case. Knock on wood, I want to make sure that I don't get too cocky about that one, I want to be humble that I won't. I'm here to serve the human beings that are on, that are out there trying to help themselves feel better and not I'm not entertaining the big shots. They've already made it. I want, I want to serve the people that need the help, and so that's why I'm reachable. I'm available. If you just contact my website, they will put you through to me directly. If I'm really busy, I may be a day late to get to you, but I will get to every single person that's out there. I want to connect with everybody, and I want to help everybody as much as possible.

34:00 – Well, the gamble becomes, given your tolerance for risk, given your personality, like you said, the gamble became pretty clear. For one, my former career was mental health. So I was 20 years as a mental health therapist, master's degree, and making $45,000 a year. That's poverty, that's a crime. Even if you make $250-500,000 a year, it doesn't matter like when you're in corporate and you have a title that goes along with it, at some point, you're signing your soul away for you to make that money, you're gonna have to work more. You have to do all those things. But as an entrepreneur, you can make infinite money without always having to work harder.
40:10 – Let me full serve that real quick. One thing I love about this is like you've given me a lot of props over the years since I met you over running chainsaws, volunteering, building mountain biking trails, and hearing those horror stories and just me telling you, like, bro, start easy. Just start listening to podcasts. Get into the audiobooks, start geeking out. That was just some of the earlier shit we discussed. But technically, what I loved full circle tonight was what you just said a few minutes ago, before the word vomit, is the fact that actually Dave's one of your earlier mentors, before you met me.
64:50 – I'm the same person, but because I have more financial freedom, I can fix most problems and help build most dreams, most of which are for other people that I care about. Therefore, that's when I say money matters.
73:00 – I worked for one person my whole life, my dad. I moved on, I went on, I kept going. I saw my own thing, but that's the family, but again, the lightest, most laid back guy here. He taught me everything.

Scott Mulvaney and Chris Burris discuss the health benefits of ESS60, a Nobel Prize-winning molecule discovered in 1985. ESS60, a spherical molecule of 60 carbon atoms, was found to extend the life of Wistar rats by 90% when dissolved in olive oil. Chris explains that ESS60 buffers oxidative stress by holding reactive oxygen species until the body can manage them, enhancing mitochondrial function. Chris shares testimonials from athletes like Anthony Kunkle, who use ESS60 to prevent damage and improve performance. The product is recommended for those under high stress or engaging in intense physical activities. Chris Burres discussed MyVitalC's products, emphasizing the benefits of olive oil and ESS60 for health. He highlighted the challenges of FDA regulations and the importance of transparency in the supplement industry. MyVitalC's products, including olive oil, avocado oil, and MCT oil, are tested frequently for quality. He stressed the importance of addressing aging as a disease to achieve longevity escape velocity, supported by the rapid increase in medical information.
CHRIS BURRES is the founder and chief scientist at MyVitalC, where he manufactured a Nobel Prize-winning molecule responsible for the single longest longevity experimental result in history–a full 90% extension of life. He is also a published author, host of the Uncovering the Secrets to Longevity Health Summit, a podcast host, patent holder and master of comedy improv. He is the intersection where science meets laughter and his life’s mission is to help people live longer, healthier, happier, pain-free lives with science.

Timestamped Show Notes:
13:10 – Out of this vaporized graphite, you're probably getting 80-90% of this molecule. The reality is, we're getting 90% amorphous carbon junk and 10% of fullerenes. This ESS60 molecule is one of the most abundant fullerenes. So it's a very inefficient process, then you got to isolate it, and then you turn it into ESS60, which is the process for people and pets. That's when the kind of supplement side of things starts. You actually mix it in vats, in olive oil, to get it to dissolve, because the molecules are not water soluble. You need a fat based element like EVOO.
21:30 – It is six carbon molecules, with a ring shape. So six carbon molecules, when it's alone, it's a carcinogen and toxic to us. So it's known to be toxic, known to be a carcinogen. So they thought this molecule would be toxic, and they put it in that toxicity study. In that study, they used Wistar Rats as the subjects. In this case, they gave one group water, one group olive oil, and then one group olive oil with as much of the ESS60 molecule as they could get to dissolve in it. Instead of being toxic, the test subjects that they gave the ESS60 formula lived 90% longer than the control group. So a full 90% extension of life in Wistar rats, peer reviewed, published research. You can imagine, that's the thing that changed us from being happy go lucky, carbon nanomaterial scientists.
47:15 – In that original study, they did a very interesting thing. My actually Director of Research said, at one point. This could have been five separate papers, because there's so much stuff in it. One of the things was they injected a group of rats, so not the main rats that live 90% longer, but some group of rats, they injected them with carbon tetrachloride. This is a poison that causes Oxidative Stress to the liver. And so each of the rat groups, the ones given water, the ones given olive oil, their livers did not repair recover from this injection. It was the ESS60 in olive oil that those rats livers were on the mend. They did euthanize all the rats and check out their livers. It was only the ESS60 rats whose livers had repaired themselves.

06:50 – METAL.MEN is who we are, that's the website. That's what we are. We're a men's group of inspiration, adventure, brotherhood, so let's dig in on our interesting group of guys.
24:35 – In the METAL MEN group, guys come to us often looking for help with something they're looking for help with. You know, career advice, or you've hit a plateau in what you're doing, or you want to find out what next. You are just looking for something, right? But guys that stick around stay for the Brotherhood. That is what you're talking about, the human connection. Being in a space where meeting guys who are very similar to the way you look at things, but from many different backgrounds.
44:00 – I don't ride motorcycles anymore, the one in 600 but this is actually a specific thing. This is about commuting to work as you get in a sort of ongoing route that you get used to, and you start relaxing, which you should never do, do not become complacent, right? If there was an accident and you survive, the odds are you are going to ride a different way afterwards. How are you going to manage that risk? Sometimes you just have to accept there is a risk, and it's part of life, right? The fifth thing that we have out of the eight is our BROTHERHOOD. Successful MEN need other successful men. We come from a community and metal of heart centeredness. METAL is completely independent. We are not affiliated with any publishing, religious, political, etc. We are an independent community.
1:05:40 – The answer to that is actually brotherhood and community. It's about connecting with guys who've been very successful or are on the way to being very successful, who can then lean in and just be with you because they're in the same place. Choosing conscious Brotherhood is different than just meeting guys when you're out in the world. If you've got kids, you meet the friends, you meet your kids, friends, and fathers. What do you have in common? Likely not very much, but you've got your kids in common, and so you'll end up in this kind of hinterland of having these men, male relationships around you. You don't really have anything in common, and you couldn't really say, well, you know, I'm in a really dark depression because my dream came true six weeks ago.
01:20:59 – Final Words
Our Final Words of the Show:
I think I can sum up what you're talking about in terms of sort of a personal development frame, which is you, you seem to be a perfect example of a guy who knows himself more. Now, when you were a kid, you didn't know yourself then, and there are lessons that you go through to know yourself better. The secret to happiness in your late 40s, early 50s and onwards is knowing yourself, and it's finding your purpose and understanding where your weaknesses are. Impulse control, if you come from a family where you have addiction in the family, just be aware that may well be integrated into your DNA and in a way that you could fall off that wagon pretty quick. Just be conscious of it, that is a thing. Know yourself.

The hosts today discuss the common issue of headaches and the role of chiropractic care. Dr. Vrzal, a chiropractor with over 30 years of experience, shares his personal journey with headaches and his advocacy for drug-free, holistic solutions. He explains the seven specific headache patterns linked to various organs and the importance of listening to the body. Dr. V emphasizes the role of nutrition, supplementation, and stress management in maintaining health. He also highlights the limitations of traditional medicine and the benefits of functional medicine and biohacking. The conversation underscores the need for personal accountability in health and the value of integrative approaches. Dr. V discusses the connection between physical symptoms like upper trap tension and sacroiliac pain with underlying health issues such as blood sugar problems and yeast infections. They emphasize the importance of listening to one's body and being an advocate for one's health to improve quality of life. Dr. V suggests that if one were to see the future consequences of poor health choices, like eating sugar and grains, it would be a powerful motivator to change behavior. They also mention that certain foods, like corn, can trigger health problems like cortisol dumping and ovarian cysts. Scott agrees, noting the impact of inflammatory responses on joint pain and the importance of sharing health knowledge through their podcast. They both stress the significance of being proactive in health management and the enduring value of educational content.
Quote: "Headaches are the unseen foes in our daily lives, striking unexpectedly yet universally."Dr. Scott Vrzal, driven by constant debilitating headaches in his youth, was cured by a Chiropractor. He pursued a career in the same discipline inspired by the change. Initially misdiagnosed and advised to consult a psychiatrist due to the pain, he embarked on a mission to understand headaches' root causes. With over 30 years of expertise, Dr. Vrzal refines pain patterns, advocates drug-free and holistic solutions, and shares his methods to a healthier lifestyle. His thriving practice reflects a personal commitment to health, performance, and relieving patients' pain.

02:00 – Headaches are a hot subject for me, I got into it bcause of my headaches and my my lust for performance. I was a natural bodybuilder at the time and I'd get pounding headaches every time I did bench press.
10:30 – If the pec or clavicular muscle is not firing properly, we look at stomach function. If they have a low back pain in the flank area, we look at large intestine function. So when we we identify what the primary weakness is, and that's the beauty of of headaches for me, I'll circle back to that. But again, every muscle has associated organs. When we find these organ dysfunctions, these weaknesses, then we look at, is it a structural need or structural compromise that's compromised in the muscle?
15:10 – It could be that you're drinking your water out of a plastic bottle and you're getting the estrogenic effects from from the plastics. It's because at one of those pathways in the liver, we were just referring to, like your glutathione pathway. Maybe that's not breaking the hormones down properly and it's setting you up for this type of headache. So I would suspect when you're currently on your your glutathione products, that you're proably going to be a lot less likely to have those types of headaches.
26:15 – We want to keep the keep the toxic metals out, which means pesticides and that sort of stuff. So eating the organic vegetables, getting those, you know, grains are all adulterated. They have that Roundup influence, the glyphosate in there that compromises gallbladder function, which is why the right sided headache is the most common type of headache in America.
37:15 – When we're stuck in that state, then we get the frontal headaches. We have compromised the stomach lining. You know, cortisol is a catabolic hormone, ultimately, and which means it breaks the body down. It's going to break down muscle. So certainly, when we're over training, we're breaking down muscle. We need to then heal up and recover properly. So that frontal headache means that you're not managing that, the body's not managing the stress hormones properly, and it's going to manifest as a frontal.

Our Final Words of the Show:
It's about changing the way people perceive health and what their body is trying to tell them pain is, I mean, with the applied kinesiology that the approach to healthcare that I use, it's very, very, very evident that every, not you know, fibromyalgia, is 25 different pain patterns, or you know, different things like that, every not tells a story. So my I'm here to try to empower you the listener, to listen to what that pain is telling you. Any I mean, upper trap tension is typically a blood sugar problem, tent pain and the weakness and weak, weakness on the side of the neck, blood sugar feeding yeast, and that'll manifest as sacroiliac pain, or low back, you know, tailbone kind of pain. So all of those have it tell a story, and I made it my, my life's mission to, you know, any you know, Scott points to somewhere, you know here, I know, okay, that's a lung issue, oh, that's a gallbladder issue, that's an adrenal issue, and I can go right to it, and then then there's specific food triggers or lifestyle issues that are going to cause that.
So my whole thing, my my MO at this point, my legacy is listen to your body. It's trying to tell you a story and be your own advocate. To identify what that is. Quality of life goes up, you know, the quantity of years. But even more importantly, the quality of those years exponentially changes. I've often said the best practice management tool I could have would be a crystal ball, you know. You know, Scott, you quit eating, you know, sugar, sugar and grains. This is how you're, you know, you're going to look in feel in 80 years. You know, you quit eating, you keep eating your sugar and grains. This is how you're going to look and feel if you make it another 30 years, you know. So I mean, that would be the best motivating tool we could have. But pain is, is kind of that crystal ball to help us understand, oops, these choices are compromising my health. So let's learn from them. Let's be our best advocate that's going to inspire their doctors. You know, the listener, your doctor, is going to potentially shift their paradigm as they recognize you figuring these things out. Then they're going to tell the next person you know, hey, just you know, Scott quit eating sugar, and his neck pain went away. What about you?

04:15 – Double ribeyes are my dinner every night, and most of the nights it's a triple ribeye, so I eat more than any person that I sit down with.
13:00 – I was starting from a very dirty diet, and I saw that quick weight loss as like, oh my gosh, this is the miracle diet, miracle cure. I was so impressed that I told myself, the Vegan Diet is absolutely the best diet. I'm gonna stick to this for as long as I need to...
15:10 – I had my autoimmune psoriasis condition ever since I was a child. So as long as I can remember, and for me to keep it at bay, I had to use topical prescriptions. So for me, the life changing benefit, Veganism didn't help, but Carnivore helped me get off all prescription topical creams and literally just cure it. I never have flare ups anymore.
23:00 – People who aren't open minded, when they look at your content, and they automatically assume things because they're already closed minded to begin with. So they will assume the most extremes. They're never going to watch your content and be reasonable. So the content that I post, at least, is created for the people who are already informed, already "Carnivore Curious. But somehow a lot of my posts get viral. They blow up overnight or something like that, and then I look at the comments the next day, and most of the comments are all naysayers. They just don't understand.
29:20 – The Steak and Butter Gang is just my private community for those who need that extra help and guidance, so I've set up the steak and butter gang to be an online community. You basically get to hop on almost daily zoom calls with my team of coaches, moderators, etc. The magic is in the live zoom calls, because you actually get to talk to carnivores of 3, 4, 5, 6+ years of experience. We talked about Dr. Chaffee a lot, I invite carnivore doctors like Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Baker, and others to do monthly Q and A's.

This year, I think the main theme of my life, and I did turn 28 a few months ago, so I feel like I'm still a baby. I get to hang out with so many great carnivores and just this conversation alone, I learned so much from you. I feel like this year, for the theme, it should be, spread kindness, love, and question everything. So these things I find I've been doing every single day, spread love and kindness above all, and at the same time question everything. Every single day, I learn something new, but that's because I keep an open mind. Even carnivore things. There are videos where I'm like, automatically we make all these assumptions, but then I keep the open mind, and I always walk away learning something new. So I hope people who listen to your episode, they question everything, they are okay with unlearning things that they thought were facts, and they spread love and kindness. That's what I would want to share.

Timestamped Show Notes:
13:40 – I would say you could call it desensitized, or you could call it discernment and adaptation. I'm in the business of helping people become better adapted to modern stress, which basically means they're able to maintain your center right in as conditions all around you increase in chaos. You actually drop in more deeply because you have the ability to discern. Like, is this life and death for me, or is this an opportunity for me to, in your case, share the skills that you have inherently. I'm in the same way, like I've been out rock climbing and watched somebody fall and dislocate a leg, and I walk over and I'm like, okay, get them stable. Then we put their leg back into position. They're like, how did you do that?
24:10 – That is actually stress release and recovery. So the emotion, like a person like you, I'm actually very similar in the way. I can show up in an emergency or in someone's life that is going through chronic issues, like disease. I can show up with dozens of them around and so I'm just serving, serving, serving, serving, serving. I can stay really centered and grounded, because it's what lights me up. This is what my nervous system, what I've groomed it to do.
53:50 – We teach people how to do this and teach movement. It's called EDU Immersion, a practical spinal maintenance. Have a happy spine, calm, and I give out a free workshop on it. So you'll learn about stress, the neurophysiology of stress, and then how to work with your system with movement. So I mentioned, whenever you stress out, you always lateralize into one hemisphere. Well, what's beautiful about the body is that left hemisphere controls right side of the body and vice versa. So if I have a movement system that crosses my midline regularly, and what happens is it forces cross modal communication in the two hemispheres. So now those hemispheres are starting to compare data and go, wait, why are we in a stress state right now? You know based on what we're seeing right now, there's no bear out there. So you get to create congruence between the two hemispheres, the brain waves slow down into alpha and theta in the body to get that parasympathetic sympathetic balance. So that's really why we have an online course for that as well, called Moving Back Into Balance.

Our Final Words of the Show:
One key point is that your body is brilliant. Your being is brilliant, like what you're capable of is far beyond what you could ever even imagine. So this is an invitation for you to lean into that. Lean into that by getting outside, by talking nicely to yourself and asking good questions, by valuing yourself with good choices. We're making choices every day, all day, and one of the biggest choices, I would say, is to start to see everything that's happened in your life as on the way, rather than in the way. Because as you make that change, and you start to reflect on this conversation we've had today, you start to look at these things that you've thought, Damn, that was in the way. If you can start to shift and ask, how is it on the way? You start to, as my friend Dr. John Demartini says, you become no longer a victim of reality, but a master of destiny. You move from being a victim to whatever is happening to you, to recognize your creative powers, your self-authorship that you get to meet every moment, and you're filling in that content. You're the meaning maker. So if you just own that and bring the pen back in your hand and get out of the victimhood thing, you can do incredible things. Everyone has a value that's equally valuable to everyone else, because we're all on a unique journey here as a soul in the human body.

Timestamped Show Notes:
22:00 – I always remind people, guess where most people start their podcasts, is it in the garage, in their bedroom? No it's the closet, it's about finding that smaller room, less chance of an echo, less noise reverberation off of the walls. If you have clothing hang in there, you push it to the sides, again, extra sound matting, and especially if you don't have an upgraded microphone yet.
28:15 –We talk to equine veterinarians all day long and we wear a lot of different hats in the roles that we have, and half the time, I feel like we're almost a little bit like therapists. People just want to talk, and they want to talk through their issues. So we spend a lot of time just listening to people kind of talk about what's going on and what the challenges are. There's a really unfortunate phenomenon in our large animal industry, people come into it straight out of school, and they wind up leaving in a few years and going to a small animal or doing something completely different. So there's this attrition rate on an already anemic level, the supply of veterinarians is hurting. There has always been mental health issues going on as well. Citizens do not realize how challenging the long hours are, late nights in the dark, etc.
33:00 – So there's so many ways to access this wealth of knowledge or entertainment. If you're somebody who's spending all day in a car, no matter what you're doing, whether you're a veterinarian or a salesperson, and you're not using that time to better yourself, either personally or professionally, you are missing a great opportunity to grow.
45:20 – There are "consultants" out there being recommended in some of the veterinary world, supposedly helping all of these veterinarians. Claiming they know how to grow their business and grow their sales. You have to do your due diligence, especially as doctors trying to understand entrepreneurship to grow and maintain a business while loving the clients' animals.
50:00 – I actually had one veterinarian in Idaho who who did that after we had that profitability conversation. He took me out to breakfast, he bought breakfast for me, and he said, I just wanted to thank you. He said, I did what you said. I didn't do it as extreme as you suggested, but I started making that move. I'm doing incrementally over time. He's like, I am making more money. I'm working less hours, and the customers that I do have, that I've kept, are so much happier with me.
01:17:40 – Final Words
Our Final Words of the Show:
Ryan Murphy's Final Words: I think listening to people's stories is quite impactful, especially when you can relate to those stories, even people outside of the industry. Like John said before, it's about community. So not feeling alone. That's a big thing in the industry, and so I think that's where I want them to end up, and I want them to hopefully build a community through our podcast. Valeo means to thrive, so it means mental health, but it means smeone who's thriving in mental health. In one other word, significance, significance to the people that you love, or just significance in affecting change in the world. So I think if you boil life down, the purpose for us all, is significance.
John Ryan's Final Words: It's the fact that you're not alone, and you don't have to be alone in all of this. You might be struggling, but we ant you to know that you're not alone. So it's the root word for us, it's about Valor, so trength, and Mentis is about the Mind.
