Canine Cancer Awareness, Part 1 | Weekly Pet Roundup

1
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:03,680
Hi, everybody.
Welcome to the Weekly Pet

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,560
Roundup.
It is myself, Isabel Alvarado

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:11,920
and Jessica Fisher, and we are
here to talk about canine cancer

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,200
awareness.
And I'm pretty much going to let

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:20,400
our friend here, Jessica, this
conversation because she is a

6
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:27,280
canine nutrition expert.
And for me, making the body

7
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:31,800
inhospitable to cancer is a
really great way to prevent

8
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,160
cancer.
Prevent it.

9
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,640
While it is often genetic and
out of our hands, you cannot

10
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,440
ever feel guilty.
If you do find your pet with a

11
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:46,680
diagnosis.
It is really nice to kind of

12
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,600
see, learn.
How we can?

13
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,560
Reduce their risk, right?
So Jessica, take it away.

14
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,960
Take it away.
Oh, my goodness.

15
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,160
OK.
So.

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,000
Well, it's funny that you say
that because I was listening to

17
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,400
Doctor Kendra Pope, who is one
of like the very, very few

18
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,480
veterinary oncologist in the
United States.

19
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,600
We need a lot more of her.
I wish she were cloned many,

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,720
many times.
Not like in a multiplicity way

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,960
where she gets Dumber every
time, but like where she stays

22
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:16,040
the same every time.
I love that movie with I like, I

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:22,760
like Michael Keaton.
So anyway, she was saying that I

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,800
wrote down a quote.
She said every day is an

25
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,480
opportunity to kill cancer.
And we already have the cure for

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,240
cancer, which is to not let it
proliferate in our bodies to

27
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,840
begin with.
So just to kind of start out a

28
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:44,000
little bit, one of the things
that I think we realize in the

29
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,840
holistic community or the
functional medicine, whatever

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,520
you want to call it, like the
healthy pet community, the

31
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:54,600
majority of people do not
realize this because it's not

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,120
not what mainstream media is
telling us.

33
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:04,480
It's not where the funding
dollars for studies are going.

34
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:11,800
In fact, the majority of funding
for studies is going towards

35
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:18,160
genetic, like all of the genetic
aspects of cancer.

36
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,720
But what we actually know and
what I think we do really well

37
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:27,200
and like the healthy pet space
is that we understand that 90

38
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
somewhere between 90 and 95%.
This came from doctor Kendra

39
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,840
Pope, somewhere between 90 and
95% of cancers are actually

40
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:44,280
lifestyle related, not genetic.
So that's a big thing to unpack,

41
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,000
right?
Like it's, it's a big, big thing

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,680
that's.
Way higher than I thought.

43
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:50,080
For real.
For sure.

44
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,960
And that's for for animals and
humans.

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,920
All of well, I think, I think we
can, when we really look at it,

46
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:03,960
well, we have thought for a very
long time that what happens to

47
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,960
our dogs specifically mirrors
what's happening to humans as

48
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,560
far as like medicine is
concerned.

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,440
And one of the things that she
doctor Kendra Pope says is that

50
00:03:16,920 --> 00:03:19,800
they actually they had.
So there was a very, very

51
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,920
wealthy lady whose dog had
cancer.

52
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:26,040
And she was trying to figure out
why, what happened.

53
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:32,040
And because she was so wealthy,
she started doing all the

54
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,760
research as to like, OK, what do
we know about cancer?

55
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:38,320
Where are all the study?
What are all the studies telling

56
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,760
us?
And she ended up funding her own

57
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,560
research, which obviously the
medical community doesn't

58
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,760
acknowledge because she's just a
person.

59
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:53,880
But what she found was that
because in veterinary medicine,

60
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:56,080
cancer is not a reportable
condition.

61
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:03,000
So like with humans, because of
our healthcare system or sick

62
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,600
care system as I prefer to call
it, there is a lot of reporting

63
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,080
going on, right?
When you're seeing your doctor,

64
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,280
when you go into the hospital,
whatever it's being reported,

65
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:20,800
whether that is through, you
know, NIHCDC, just the data that

66
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,480
insurance companies have because
literally like they hand you an

67
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:30,200
aspirin and it's coded, right?
So everything is reportable in

68
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,560
human medicine, not so much in
veterinary medicine.

69
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,720
So what she found with this
very, very wealthy lady found in

70
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:46,400
her study is that the instance
of cancer in dogs is up to five

71
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,760
times higher than what we see in
human trends.

72
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,320
So but but it's not reported,
it's not reportable.

73
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,000
So there is no system for
tracking it.

74
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,680
We're just kind of, we've just
always gone with the, it tracks

75
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360
what's going on with humans is
tracking with, with dogs.

76
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,520
And I would venture to say that
cats are not too far behind

77
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:15,920
that, especially today's indoor
domestic cat, right?

78
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:22,600
But sadly, most of the research
is in the genetic function of

79
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,720
cancer.
And I think part of that is

80
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,480
because, well, you know, I, I
love conspiracies.

81
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:40,480
I love some conspiracies the way
I see it.

82
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,960
And we can talk about humans, we
can talk about pets.

83
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:50,120
I think the the veterinary sick
care system very much has almost

84
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560
completely caught up with the
human sick care system where

85
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,440
everything is check box
medicine.

86
00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:00,120
Everything is take a pill, take
a pill.

87
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,360
This crappy food that I'm
handing you that you know, they

88
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:07,600
can't even explain what in that
food is for that condition.

89
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,960
All the things like it, it's
bad.

90
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:15,560
And the reality is, and I think
there is a pretty, there's a

91
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:21,320
larger number of humans waking
up to the fact that our food

92
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:29,800
system and our pharmaceutical
system, they're they kind of

93
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,080
work hand in hand.
The pharmaceutical system

94
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:36,360
certainly they do not profit.
Even our quote UN quote

95
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,280
healthcare system, they don't
profit unless we're sick, right.

96
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,920
There's no money to be made if
we're actually healthy.

97
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,720
So feeding foods that keep us
chronically I'll giving us pills

98
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,880
for every symptom that by the
way, now we have new symptoms

99
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,440
because of those pills and we
need to take more pills like

100
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,720
this is very, in my opinion,
intentional.

101
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,360
Not, I don't think it's, I don't
think it ever started out as

102
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,880
like we want our population to
be sick.

103
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,680
I don't think that's the goal.
I, I don't think that's like how

104
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,720
people rationalize it as like we
don't want people to be healthy,

105
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,440
but I think they rationalize it
as we got to make more money

106
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,120
quarter after quarter, our
profits have to increase quarter

107
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000
over quarter.
And this is, this is how we get

108
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:34,160
there.
And so when we look at and say

109
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:38,440
that genetics are what fuels
obesity, genetics are what fuels

110
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,000
cancer, genetics are what fuels
what have whatever it is you're

111
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,640
talking about, you take the
blame and the responsibility off

112
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,000
of the individual.
And so you just throw up your

113
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,440
hands, right?
It's all genetic.

114
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:51,600
There's nothing I can do about
it.

115
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,840
So we throw money.
We throw money and throw money

116
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,440
and throw money at studying the
genetics of it.

117
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,280
When that's such a small
percentage, what 5 to 10%

118
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,880
according to Doctor Kendra Pope.
And it's such a small

119
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:04,880
percentage, but that's where
we're throwing all of our money

120
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,880
because that's where we want
people to pay attention to.

121
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,080
Because then they just throw up
their hands and they accept

122
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520
what's going on.
At least that's, that's that's

123
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:14,280
what I think.
I mean, there's.

124
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,000
There's no money in letting your
grass grow all the weeds.

125
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,720
It wants.
Right, right.

126
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Yeah.
Like just.

127
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,800
Yeah, well, what is a like a
weed, right?

128
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,680
What is a weed like?
You've got a field of dandelions

129
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,960
and a rose is growing and that's
a weed, right?

130
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:35,679
Like.
Money in US.

131
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,120
Living like wild lives, right?
Like that's why we're all so

132
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,760
domesticated.
Not just our pets, but us.

133
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,200
If dogs lived like natural, they
would.

134
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:49,520
You know they would come into.
Other their issues, right?

135
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:52,080
They would die of other things.
They would die of injuries and

136
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,360
illnesses that, you know, are
not possible.

137
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
You know, they're not treated
when you're in the wild, right?

138
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,480
Like that's what happened to us.
I know that in Ecuador, there

139
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,480
are many tribes, you know, that
they have like 20 children and

140
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,120
like the, you know, not all of
them survive the wilderness,

141
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,440
right, Unfortunately.
So that's the alternative.

142
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:19,680
But like we have gotten so far
away from nature and so far away

143
00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:26,160
from like a healthy balanced
lifestyle that we ourselves and

144
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:32,840
our pets were putting
convenience and aesthetics over

145
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,560
health every single day, every
single day.

146
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,520
You know, like we bring in those
new couches because we hate the

147
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:41,440
old couch.
Like what is it doing?

148
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,720
It's just off gassing for months
if not years.

149
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:49,280
We get new flooring because we
think the carpeting is terrible,

150
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:54,000
which is, but then we come in to
all the DOCS that come from that

151
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,040
flooring where we were trying to
avoid the molds and the mildews

152
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,160
and the carpeting.
So it's like this.

153
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:04,640
The way we live is so almost
conducive to environmental

154
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:05,360
risks.
Right.

155
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:06,280
Just.
Because.

156
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,840
Like.
We can't paint a wall without

157
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,520
some exposure.
Even if you pay for the extra

158
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,400
good paint, you're still being
exposed to who knows what.

159
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,920
Can I, can I go down a rabbit
hole real, real quick, just like

160
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:24,080
a tangent?
OK, you said paint a wall.

161
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:30,120
And I saw something the other
day and I was like, holy moly.

162
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:36,800
I didn't even say moly and this
is just a theory, but Oh my gosh

163
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,080
it makes so much sense.
So in the 70s, I believe it was

164
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,240
the 70s, they stay outlawed.
Lead in our paint, right?

165
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:51,520
Based on what?
Apparently children are chipping

166
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,280
paint, they're just actively
over there chipping paint off of

167
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,000
the wall or window sills or
whatever and eating it.

168
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,840
Like this is happening a lot
apparently.

169
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,000
I don't believe that, but OK.
And it's Dutch, obviously that's

170
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,720
a heavy metal.
We don't want it in our systems.

171
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:11,760
But but this is when we started
they, they started with all of

172
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:17,480
the research into Internet cell
phones.

173
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,440
We've got all this
electromagnetic frequency going

174
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,760
on around us constantly, 24/7.
Guess what blocks that LED?

175
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:32,000
So now we don't have anything in
our homes to protect us from

176
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:38,120
what's going on around us.
Well, actually Emfs are a very

177
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,400
big serious concern for me
because we have a very smart

178
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,560
house, right?
We have all sorts of smart

179
00:11:44,560 --> 00:11:46,520
things in our house.
I mean, it's not like a fancy

180
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:50,200
smart house like I wish I could
just like say, please open the

181
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,680
blinds and the blinds would go
up.

182
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:54,640
That's it's not that smart.
But we have like the Google

183
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,760
homes and the Alexas and the
Nest thermostats and all that

184
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,840
stuff, right?
We've, if you can automate it,

185
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,560
we've done that.
If we can add an app to any kind

186
00:12:04,560 --> 00:12:09,080
of household thing, we've done
it except for like an Alexa like

187
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,960
fridge, which would be awesome,
but I don't have.

188
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,600
And we also have solar panels
and solar panels that connect to

189
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,160
an app.
And while we're obviously doing

190
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,400
a good thing for the environment
and it was very financial, it

191
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,200
was a smart thing for us because
we were able to pay them off

192
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,680
right away and get like this big
tax credit and we are saving a

193
00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:35,400
lot of money.
I'm like, I have added so many

194
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:40,880
EMS 24/7 to this home and
sometimes I wonder if even if I

195
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,760
lived like the perfect
lifestyle, even if I ate

196
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,000
perfectly, slept my exact number
of hours, you know, used my

197
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,880
sleep thing to like not mouth
breathe, exercise the exact

198
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,720
amount of time that I need to
exercise perfectly, you know,

199
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,360
managed my cleaning processes
and everything.

200
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:05,080
Even if I did it all right.
All these EMF's are so bad for

201
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,960
us and sure I have like black
tourmaline all over the house.

202
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,320
I can show you what it looks
like.

203
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,640
Where is it?
I have one somewhere around here

204
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,840
well, sorry guys, I have these
little chunks of rock.

205
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,720
I have a really big one.
Here's one.

206
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:29,560
So I have this.
So I have pretty big chunks.

207
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:31,960
I mean, this is expensive.
It's not cheap to buy.

208
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,000
But like how much is this really
doing?

209
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,520
And like how if we're sensitive,
Can you imagine our pets like

210
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,160
EMF's have been shown to disrupt
sleep patterns, which obviously

211
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,400
if you're not sleeping, you're
not healing.

212
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,800
We're talking about the paints
on the walls, we're talking

213
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,240
about the EMF's.
We're talking about the new sofa

214
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:55,880
or even new, like 10 years old
is still off gassing.

215
00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,800
Every time you sit down on it,
out come the VOC is like,

216
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,040
Jessica, how how can we do
better?

217
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,760
Like, where can we start to at
least?

218
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,720
Yeah, we're never going to be
perfect.

219
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,640
We're never going to fix this.
A lot of this is out of our

220
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,200
control.
How can we make prevention a

221
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,520
priority in like small bicycle
pieces?

222
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,160
We're never going to be perfect.
You're so right about that

223
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,680
because like I have so many of
those same things going on and I

224
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,120
would love to be able to just
turn my Wi-Fi off when I'm not

225
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:31,080
using it, but I'm literally
using it 24 hours a day because

226
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,920
even when I'm sleeping, that's
what my alarm system is

227
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:36,000
connected to, right?
So I can't.

228
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,840
I like, I get it, Ding Ding, so
many things.

229
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
We used to.
We used to disconnect it, but

230
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:45,120
when everything turned into a
Wi-Fi situation, there's no more

231
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,040
disconnecting it.
Because now our.

232
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,320
City cameras.
Are recording and even if I

233
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:55,600
wasn't so concerned with and I
am I, I probably don't have that

234
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
much to be concerned with as far
as like my security system where

235
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,320
I live.
That's just me being kind of the

236
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:07,240
paranoid person that I am.
But I, we, we happen to live in

237
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,960
an area where our cell phone
service is legit.

238
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,720
We can't use our phones unless
it's connected to Wi-Fi.

239
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:17,560
So even if I had an emergency,
my phone has to be connected to

240
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,160
Wi-Fi or I can't use it if I'm
in my home.

241
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,200
So I, I get that and I think it
can when we look at it that way,

242
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:31,480
when we look at it as there are
so many things, I could never be

243
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,720
perfect, then that gets so
overwhelming that we don't do

244
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,400
anything.
And so I think the first step is

245
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:46,000
to do whatever is going,
whatever works best for you to

246
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,600
reduce the overwhelm and
understanding that making one

247
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,640
small change at a time is very
beneficial.

248
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:55,800
And if I can start with anything
at all, the number one thing I

249
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,400
want to start with is food,
because that's literally what

250
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,760
builds our cells every single
day.

251
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,800
So we can set our bodies up to
be able to handle and manage

252
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,560
these things better if we are
providing our bodies, our dogs

253
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:16,080
bodies, our cats bodies with the
appropriate foods.

254
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,760
And we can be very intentional,
not just, and I can sit here and

255
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,560
say a species appropriate food,
yes, that's wonderful.

256
00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:28,680
But also being very intentional
about seasonality of what we're

257
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,560
feeding, being very intentional
about, you know, using herbs as

258
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,160
part of our toppers so that our
bodies can naturally detox

259
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,120
better.
And I say that not just for our

260
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:46,160
pets, but like for me too,
because I literally just got

261
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,360
another message from Michelle
Thomas yesterday, whose magical

262
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:54,960
mess Michelle, and she's been
connecting with my cats and, and

263
00:16:54,960 --> 00:17:00,560
she's like, OK, your cats know
that you have this block about

264
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,560
these herbs that you need to be
consuming.

265
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:05,240
You need to be ingesting these
herbs.

266
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:10,079
What can we do to get these
herbs in your body?

267
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:16,040
So I like this is for me too
because the simplest things like

268
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:20,400
a cilantro or a parsley can do
wonders for your body and

269
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,160
helping it detox.
So yeah, I see somebody in in

270
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,880
the chat on YouTube is talking
about cannabis and cannabinoids.

271
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,440
And you're 100% correct.
I think every mammal should be

272
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,640
on a full spectrum hemp extract,
but that's extra that's added

273
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,880
like we got to get the food
right first.

274
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,680
We cannot expect any
supplementation that we're

275
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:50,680
taking to work to its fullest
potential if we're if, if we got

276
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,640
a crappy diet that we're
starting off with.

277
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,880
So that is my number one thing.
And if you pay attention to

278
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,760
nothing else, get the food
right.

279
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:05,920
Well 420 growers says diet is
huge along with treated city

280
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:10,960
water tell me about your
thoughts on that Yeah city water

281
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,280
water, the water that we feed or
that we offer our.

282
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:14,800
Pets.
Yeah.

283
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,880
The the water that is pumped
into our homes.

284
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,960
I don't care where you live.
In my opinion, don't drink it.

285
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,400
I don't like, I use it to
shower, I use it like I have a

286
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,440
whole house filter, but it
doesn't filter out the thing.

287
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,160
All of the things that I wish it
filtered out, I certainly will

288
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,320
not drink it and I will not give
it to my pets if for no other

289
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,920
reason than it has fluoride in
it.

290
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:45,320
Hopefully we will get that fixed
come next year, but who knows

291
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,760
how quickly any of this will be
instituted.

292
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:56,640
It is a neurotoxin.
It can it does go through it's

293
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,600
they can penetrate the blood
brain barrier.

294
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,600
It calcifies the pineal gland.
It is not good.

295
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,360
Like in fact, they say that it's
it's so good for your teeth,

296
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,080
blah, blah, blah.
The studies on that are pretty

297
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,960
darn limited.
So the benefit that it could

298
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,400
have for your teeth, we have
other things that are great for

299
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,680
your teeth and we don't need to
use fluoride.

300
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:23,160
And what's funny is like I
again, going back to Michelle,

301
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:25,440
thinking about all of these
things.

302
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,080
What?
Sorry, I think I interrupted

303
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,360
that conversation.
Sorry.

304
00:19:29,360 --> 00:19:31,280
Sorry, my apology.
No, no, no, no, no, you're good.

305
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,840
It's like she was, she was
telling me that like in a past

306
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,440
life, I had a vaccine injury.
And that's why I'm so like

307
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:44,160
adamant against vaccine.
And I think I know.

308
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,840
And I think I I possibly, I
think.

309
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,680
She's fantastic so.
You know, I think I possibly

310
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,120
knew about fluoride in another
lifetime as well.

311
00:19:54,120 --> 00:19:58,120
Because even when I was a kid,
like little little kid, I

312
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:04,920
bargained with my bargained with
my dental technique to not give

313
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,160
me fluoride.
Like I did not want fluoride

314
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,440
treatments as a child and I had
no reasoning for it.

315
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:16,200
I had no.
Like frame of reference for

316
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,560
this?
I just knew I didn't want that,

317
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,520
right?
Right, right.

318
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:28,640
And now I know why, right?
But yeah, I would not give tap

319
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,960
water to myself, to children, to
pets, to anyone.

320
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,640
In fact, I take my own water to
restaurants.

321
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,320
I don't want to drink.
I don't know what's going on

322
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,200
with their water.
Maybe it's filtered, maybe it's

323
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,760
not.
Even so, I don't want their ice

324
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,600
because even if they clean like
the bin that the ice is in and

325
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,120
their ice machines, are they
getting all up in the machinery

326
00:20:52,120 --> 00:20:55,040
of the equipment where mold is
known to grow?

327
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,560
I don't, I, I don't, I don't do
any of that.

328
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,840
I'm going to bring my own.
And so, yeah, there's there,

329
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,400
there's a lot, a lot, a lot that
we can do and we can talk more

330
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,880
about other things we can do.
Again, I want to start with food

331
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,200
because if we're fueling the
body properly, then our body is

332
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:19,120
more well equipped to deal with
things that it comes in contact

333
00:21:19,120 --> 00:21:23,520
with on a daily basis.
For those of us that have

334
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,120
reverse osmosis, water filters
better.

335
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:31,000
Yep, yeah, absolutely.
I like reverse osmosis.

336
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:37,560
I think there's a lot of talk
right now about like hydrogen

337
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,440
water or structured water.
That's even better.

338
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,520
I don't even do that.
I can get really woo woo and

339
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,160
tell you to speak into your
water, right?

340
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,120
Like that's speak your
intentions into your water about

341
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:55,200
being healthy about I, I add
minerals back into my water,

342
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,760
into my pet's water because what
I give is dead water.

343
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:02,440
And I want, I want my pets to
have and myself to have like

344
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:10,080
actual nutrients so that I am
actually hydrating my body and

345
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,800
not just flushing out all, you
know, the electrolytes and

346
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:19,560
everything.
I don't add any additional salt

347
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:24,160
to my pet food or anything like
that, but I do take Celtic salt,

348
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,240
like under the tongue because I
think that improves hydration.

349
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:33,040
And yeah, there's so much,
there's stress that we can talk

350
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,080
about.
There's a lot of toxins, which

351
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,280
you've already brought up some
of them, the neurotoxins in the

352
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,040
parasiticides, the heavy metals
in the vaccines.

353
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,040
Like there's, I'm not again, and
I know we've talked about this a

354
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,400
lot.
I'm not anti vaccine.

355
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:54,920
I'm anti over vaccination.
And so there are things that we

356
00:22:54,920 --> 00:23:01,480
can do to mitigate the potential
risks of the vaccines that we do

357
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,040
have to give to puppies and
kittens.

358
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,840
And some of those like rabies,
for example, is an absolutely

359
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:15,120
horrific thing for an animal to
have to suffer with.

360
00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:19,480
So again, I'm not anti, I just
don't want to overdo it because

361
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:27,560
at 1, you know, once we get to
the point of memory cells and

362
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:34,560
and an immune response, we're
not doing any good with

363
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,000
continuing to vaccinate.
We're only going to see the

364
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,440
negative from it.
Like there's there isn't any

365
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,920
more good we can do.
The body is already responding

366
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,120
and saying I know how to kill
this now, Like we're not going

367
00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:49,120
to amp that up at all.
We're just going to see the

368
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:54,360
negative side effects from the
heavy metals or from that, any

369
00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:56,440
sort of acinosis from that?
Yep, Yep.

370
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,600
Yep.
OK, so food, water, environment.

371
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,600
Food, water, environment.
Yep.

372
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:09,400
So don't treat your lawn.
And we just found out that Yep,

373
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:16,400
they ban glyphosate in in
roundup that you can buy as an

374
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,080
individual I believe.
I would have to double check

375
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,000
this, but I believe commercial
applications they can still use

376
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,680
glyphosate.
It's just what you buy.

377
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,720
Like at Home Depot personally,
they have removed or in the

378
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,760
process of removing glyphosate
for that.

379
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,960
However, we just found out they
have a combination of four other

380
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:39,080
chemicals that are 45 times more
toxic than glyphosate that they

381
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,680
have replaced glyphosate with.
So don't use that stuff.

382
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:49,360
Use natural stuff, neem oil or
if you have like rocks and you

383
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:51,720
need to spray your rocks, guess
what?

384
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,280
Nothing can grow in salt.
How about we just put salt water

385
00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:59,800
down like we don't have to do
all of these chemicals.

386
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,520
So there are lots of things that
we can do.

387
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,680
It may take a little bit more,
it may take a little bit longer,

388
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,600
it may take a little bit more
effort on your part, but would

389
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:17,160
you rather put a little bit more
effort in and maybe not develop

390
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,320
cancer?
Maybe your dog doesn't develop

391
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:23,120
cancer like I just.
Pulled all the weeds from like

392
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,360
rocks and walkways and stuff and
I just let the weeds live in my

393
00:25:28,360 --> 00:25:31,560
grass.
I mean, I don't, I know that

394
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,680
there are people who, and I
think it's of different

395
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,320
generations.
Like I feel like from like 45

396
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:42,040
down, we're not that concerned
about our lawns.

397
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:45,360
And I think that in 40 years
maybe we will be.

398
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,680
But for now, I feel like we're
just kind of more concerned

399
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:53,280
about like paying our bills and
eating to not kill ourselves

400
00:25:53,360 --> 00:26:03,320
with cancers from our foods.
But I feel like those people

401
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,880
that are concerned about their
lawn are probably the higher

402
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,960
risk for getting cancer.
Like if you're retired and you

403
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,240
are working on your lawn, I
mean, that's wonderful.

404
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:15,320
That's great thing to do.
Gardening is so good for you in

405
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,640
so many ways.
It's got many of the same

406
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,520
benefits that you get from pet
ownership.

407
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,960
So yes, Bravo Garden.
But when you're adding these

408
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,120
toxins, you're not only harming
yourself, you're harming your

409
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:31,360
pets that live on that soil.
They have 4 paws on that soil.

410
00:26:31,360 --> 00:26:34,880
They have, they're eating some
of that grass.

411
00:26:35,120 --> 00:26:37,920
You know, if they're feeling up,
their stomach's upset or you

412
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,240
know, when they're nervous.
A lot of dogs eat grass for

413
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:43,520
many, many different reasons.
And whenever they're eating it,

414
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,680
they're taking that in, even
though we see the people

415
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,320
spraying it, like the commercial
applications, you see them

416
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,720
wearing masks and they look like
they're like, you know,

417
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:58,800
astronauts.
And we think that because it's

418
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:01,560
dry, they can eat it.
Obviously, it's dry on the

419
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,120
grass, and they're ingesting
that.

420
00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:05,680
And whatever it is that's being
sprayed is no less dangerous

421
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,840
just because now it's dried.
The thing about it being dry is

422
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,880
that it's probably not going to
come off on your skin so much if

423
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,360
you're just walking.
It's not going to, you know,

424
00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:17,080
like if your kids are playing
outside and might not get on to

425
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,200
them, but anything that's being
ingested is on it and it's

426
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,160
dangerous.
So if you have a pet that eats

427
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,320
grass, it's even more dangerous.
And it's not just the grass,

428
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,840
There's stuff with like in your
soil that you can buy that's

429
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,680
super toxic.
A lot of the soil we buy is full

430
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,800
of all sorts of disgusting,
dangerous things, especially for

431
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,200
our pets.
So being really cognizant of

432
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,920
like that gardening and just.
Like.

433
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,480
Chilling outlet.
Like nature, kind of.

434
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,400
Thrive in your yard, like stop
with the like with the weeds and

435
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:49,360
like worrying about them.
I have some weeds that like

436
00:27:49,360 --> 00:27:51,200
hurt, literally hurt on our
feet.

437
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:52,920
We're in the we're in the
desert.

438
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,440
We just wear shoes outside.
Crocs are great and they were

439
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,200
not that expensive and best in a
pair of Crocs.

440
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,960
Wear your Crocs outside.
Take your Crocs off when you

441
00:27:59,960 --> 00:28:02,200
want to ground yourself in a
place where you know, you have

442
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:06,200
like nice sand or something and
stop with the nonsense.

443
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,680
Like, I remember writing a
column for the Alexandria Times

444
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,760
ages ago where I talked about
like, these people who were

445
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:15,360
like, obsessed, obsessed with
like, not letting the neighbor

446
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,040
dog, like, pee on their lawn
like.

447
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Yeah, your lawns are not more
important.

448
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,000
Than people's health, Yeah.
Than people's pets and people's

449
00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,520
ability to walk around your
neighborhood like I'm all for

450
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,480
you obviously putting signs up
to say please clean up after

451
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,280
your dog because there's too
many rude people out there who

452
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,320
don't clean up and that not
cleaning up is another

453
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,480
environmental risk factor for.
All of.

454
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:39,400
Us.
Because yeah, that poop goes

455
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,480
into our waterways.
It doesn't just disintegrate.

456
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:43,800
It's not fertilizer.
Well, the conversation.

457
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,200
For another day.
I know people don't want to hear

458
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:50,400
this, but especially if a dog is
eating kibble, their poop is so

459
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:54,440
much more toxic it there.
There is so much more likelihood

460
00:28:54,800 --> 00:29:02,000
of pathogenic bacteria that your
kid can get that your dog can

461
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:05,960
get that whatever, like you.
Yeah, there's so much more

462
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,840
potential for that.
I also have to say, I cannot

463
00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:16,160
condone the Crocs.
I'm not a Crocs person, but

464
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,720
that's OK.
That is OK.

465
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:24,240
As a mom, I have an appreciation
for Crocs like nobody's

466
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,680
business.
My kids are not allowed to wear

467
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,440
Crocs to school.
They pee, right?

468
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:29,640
So they need to wear like
sneakers.

469
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,560
They pee every day, but they
are.

470
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:37,120
My husband has a saying where
it's Croc up, Croc up, and the

471
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,200
second that he says Croc up,
everybody puts their shoes on it

472
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,640
and it's 2 seconds.
There's no socks, there's no

473
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,440
drama, there's no shoelaces.
I love them and as a Disney

474
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,200
goer, Crocs are the perfect
Disney shoe.

475
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,800
They really are, especially
South Florida or Central Florida

476
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,160
where it rains a lot.
They dry out really quickly.

477
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,080
No, they're usually usually if
you get the right size, don't

478
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,920
have any break in period.
You can wear them with socks,

479
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,680
but please don't unless it's too
chilly out because I feel like

480
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,600
that's like that's pushing it
for me.

481
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,960
They do get hot in the summer on
the pavement.

482
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,680
So maybe not the best choice for
like the 100° days in Disney.

483
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,680
But every other day like we wore
them, we all bought croc, new

484
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,480
Crocs for the hurricane Disney
trip because there was no other

485
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:23,240
way we were going to stay dry.
And so Crocs have their place,

486
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,840
especially for gardening.
I think that they're perfect.

487
00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:29,240
Don't.
You can hose them down, dry them

488
00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:30,800
off.
Beautiful.

489
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,920
So stop putting glyphosate
everywhere.

490
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,040
Stop spraying things in your
yard.

491
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,080
We actually spray for
mosquitoes.

492
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,840
And I hate it.
But my son and I are super

493
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,440
highly allergic to mosquito
bites.

494
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:47,240
And because we live in the
desert and everybody has, like,

495
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:51,120
rocks and we have grass and two
trees, two large trees, all the

496
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:53,080
mosquitoes.
We bring all the mosquitoes to

497
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,680
the yard, Yeah.
OK.

498
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,840
They're like, oh, it's actually
habitable here.

499
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,640
Yeah.
Exactly.

500
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,480
So we need to not let them live
here.

501
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:03,360
And like what we use is we tried
the natural stuff.

502
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,200
It does not work.
We still have a ton of

503
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,680
mosquitoes.
We were still paying 80 bucks

504
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:10,680
every three weeks for that.
And obviously we have to do what

505
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,120
we have to do to keep ourselves
safe.

506
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,800
And mosquitoes are really
dangerous, especially we're on

507
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,400
the border with Mexico.
There's still dengue around.

508
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,320
So like mosquitoes are a threat
to us.

509
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:23,240
So when it comes down to like
mosquito bites versus the risk

510
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,960
of exposure, I have to do the
lesser of the two evils, even

511
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,680
though I recognize that they're
both evil and having sprayed or

512
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,520
having our yard sprayed is a
game changer for us in the fact

513
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,880
that we can enjoy our yard.
I am so susceptible to mosquito

514
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,760
bites.
They love me.

515
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,640
And when I get them, I have high
histamine response.

516
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:43,520
So and so is my son.
Like swelling, itching, just

517
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:48,080
like overall malaise.
So if you can avoid things,

518
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,120
avoid them.
And if you can't, then and

519
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,880
always like, like I always feel
like supplementing the risks

520
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,760
with like better things, like
food.

521
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Like if I am inevitably exposing
my kids to a toxin, then I need

522
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,160
to really be aware of what
they're eating.

523
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,440
And I, and even though it's so
hard to get children to eat good

524
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:12,280
things, we cook at home for the
most part during the week at

525
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,280
least trying to give them
wholesome foods, trying to give

526
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:20,240
them fresh foods, buying organic
when we can, following the

527
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:24,360
clean, The Dirty dozen and the
Clean 15 lists every time they

528
00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:25,880
come out.
And if you're not familiar,

529
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,120
where have you been?
But also they're on the EWG

530
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:31,280
website, environmental working
group.

531
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:32,960
That's what they're known for so
many things.

532
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,600
I love the EWG.
They're the they're the reason

533
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,040
we don't use plugins in the
house like in 2010 or 12, I

534
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,360
think is when I.
First found out that like

535
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,920
plugins are so toxic and I I'm
shocked.

536
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,920
That people are still plugging
things into their walls that

537
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,360
smell good, knowing how toxic
these things are.

538
00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,640
So I think that.
We've talked about the outside

539
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,280
environment, let's bring it
inside.

540
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,800
Let's talk about those plugins,
let's talk about cleaning

541
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,640
products, and let's talk about
laundry detergents and stuff,

542
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:05,040
because those are all really
big.

543
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,000
Risk factors for the whole
family.

544
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:12,640
They are and just because this
overlaps you were talking about

545
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:15,800
in the yard and ingesting
things.

546
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,960
When your dog or your cat get
something on their paw pads, you

547
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,960
might as well consider it
ingested because they are going

548
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:28,000
to uptake that through their paw
pads in a very similar fashion

549
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,440
as to if you had given it to
them orally.

550
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:36,440
So not exactly, but close enough
that for the layperson you might

551
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,960
as well just assume it's
ingested.

552
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,840
Agreed, I love that.
I love that.

553
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,800
That's a really good reminder.
If it's on the pop heads is it

554
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,360
might as well have been ingested
for.

555
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:49,680
Sure.
And so you do want to, I mean

556
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,640
one thing at a time again, like
you don't have to do everything

557
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:57,880
all at once.
But yes, swap out your.

558
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,120
I started with because I used to
use the dryer sheets.

559
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,880
They're not only negatively
affecting our health, but

560
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,199
they're negatively affecting the
environment.

561
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:15,280
So I stopped using those.
I use just white vinegar in both

562
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:22,840
my wash cycle and my rent cycle,
and I use wool dryer balls in my

563
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:28,159
dryer.
So and then moving ahead to

564
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,880
laundry detergent, there are
clean alternatives to laundry

565
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,199
detergent.
I depending on the load of

566
00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,000
clothes that I'm doing,
oftentimes all I use is white

567
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:40,960
vinegar.
If I need something more than

568
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,960
yes, there are like cleaner,
toxic toxin free brands out

569
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,639
there.
They cost a little bit more, but

570
00:34:47,639 --> 00:34:51,320
I also don't use them as often.
So like it kind of works out

571
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:54,719
absolutely.
Like we need to no plug

572
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,560
insurance.
Be very, very careful with

573
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:02,600
candles.
I basically stopped candles

574
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:09,280
years ago and now I'm only
bringing them back in with

575
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,840
companies that I know and trust
that they are.

576
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,360
They're not toxic.
I literally looked back at me

577
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,400
and walked down the stairs
because she knows I don't want

578
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:22,800
her barking.
I'm going to just, oh, it's my.

579
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:29,040
Door, you're good, you're good.
So yeah, anything that is

580
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:33,080
putting, putting anything into
the air.

581
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:37,480
Our air quality indoors is so
much worse than our air quality

582
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,920
outdoors.
So open up your windows whenever

583
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,720
you can.
Obviously, you need to be aware

584
00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:46,640
of what's around you.
Like, if you live right next to

585
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,600
a golf course, that may not be
the best thing.

586
00:35:49,600 --> 00:35:51,600
You may not actually want to
live right next to a golf

587
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:56,320
course.
Or you live right next to a farm

588
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:03,120
that is using a yeah, like, not
a regenerative farm, but like an

589
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:08,280
actual yeah, industrial.
That's the word I'm looking for.

590
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,320
Like, then you need to be a
little bit more aware of what's

591
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:14,680
going on around you.
But for most of us, opening up

592
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:19,440
your windows is actually really,
really beneficial, even in Texas

593
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:23,680
with.
All the the what is it

594
00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:27,200
refineries that we have here?
I mean, I live right next to

595
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:28,120
one.
I probably wouldn't.

596
00:36:28,240 --> 00:36:29,600
I probably wouldn't live right
next to one.

597
00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,000
But like where I live, I don't
if you.

598
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:34,320
Can if you can help it, yeah.
Yeah, I happen to live.

599
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:37,640
I mean, I'm in, I live in Hill
Country, so we actually have

600
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,160
like breezes pretty much every
day.

601
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:45,920
And yeah, it's fairly.
I live on the West side of El

602
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:47,880
Paso.
El Paso actually, you cannot

603
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,200
tell by living here because it's
always seems so nice.

604
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,800
But we have pretty polluted air
and it's one of the reasons why

605
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:59,600
I use air doctor air purifiers
around my house because on top

606
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,640
of the off gassing of our SO we
I'll go back to the first things

607
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:08,600
we said like wool dryer balls.
Yes, my husband insists on using

608
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,520
dryer sheets so he's found like
the healthier ones on Grove

609
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:19,520
Collective or like in on thrive
market where like they do a

610
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:22,840
better job of like.
Vetting these things, I don't

611
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,200
use them.
We use unscented everything.

612
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:32,240
So unscented dish soap,
unscented laundry soap.

613
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:36,760
We don't use anything with
plastics, but like for our

614
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,120
dishwasher we use like the the
most natural option we can have

615
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,240
get we get it from growth
collective.

616
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,640
We don't use the plastic
dishwasher pods.

617
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Those leave micro plastics
everywhere.

618
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:52,880
They're bad for the environment,
for your family.

619
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,080
We use everything unscented.
We try to use the most gentle

620
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,760
stuff, even if I have to like
pre rinse a little more.

621
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,560
The rinses from your dishwasher
super toxic as well.

622
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Like all those things are really
tight.

623
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,960
So we try really hard to buy the
right products.

624
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,400
When we buy shampoos,
conditioners, things like that,

625
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,600
we look at the labels, make sure
that they're the least like they

626
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,360
do what we need.
Like for me, like my husband, I

627
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,320
don't know, he, he, he loves
his, his like manscape

628
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,160
manscaping stuff.
Like he spends money on like his

629
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:28,880
beard products and his bald head
products and stuff.

630
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,760
It's so funny.
But I think he makes good

631
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,880
choices because he buys like
high quality stuff.

632
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,840
But for my kids, for example,
like that usually falls on me.

633
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:40,040
So like toothpaste, shampoo,
conditioner, things like that.

634
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:43,640
I love California baby.
That's what I have always used

635
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,960
for my lotions and stuff and I
that's what I use for me because

636
00:38:46,960 --> 00:38:49,800
I started.
Using it for my kids and we kept

637
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:53,120
it on auto ship and I that's all
I use for my skin.

638
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,840
California baby is so like
there's they make everything

639
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,240
with like their own grown
calendula.

640
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,040
They're so good, high quality
stuff.

641
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,360
But then there are stuff that
you can't control right?

642
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:12,760
Like I when I buy a rug I try to
buy one that's high quality,

643
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,160
doesn't have a ton of VOC's like
there.

644
00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:20,560
Are things that you can find.
Out there that are very safe,

645
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:24,200
but they're also very expensive
right like once once you start

646
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:28,160
going to some away from like
Wayfair, which is all made in

647
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:32,440
China total VOC's like I have a
friend who like ordered a bed

648
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,200
and like the room smelled
forever.

649
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,560
And the problem with VOC's is
you don't always smell them, but

650
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:41,280
in this case it was off gassing
the stuff you can't smell and

651
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,680
whatever you could.
Smell.

652
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,280
So.
When you stop buying stuff

653
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,680
that's generally available to
the general public and you start

654
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,880
going down rabbit holes and
being like, what rug can I buy?

655
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:57,200
And I did this when my, my son
was young because I was way more

656
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,240
like controlling about like our
environment then because he was

657
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:04,600
a baby and he was, he had, he
had a high risk birth.

658
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,120
Like his birth turned into a
high risk situation.

659
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,080
So I wanted to do as best I
could for him.

660
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,720
And I remember buying a really
beautiful rug for my mom's house

661
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:15,160
in Miami because we were moving
there while my husband was

662
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,280
deployed.
And like, it was so expensive.

663
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,000
And you know, that rug didn't
make it.

664
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,800
He's seven years old.
He was one when we bought it and

665
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:27,000
it was a disaster now that we
basically just got rid of it.

666
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,320
So it only lasted six years.
It was very expensive.

667
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:34,000
So most consumers are not going
out and buying that because of

668
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:36,360
the investment price and the
fact that it won't last long.

669
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,240
I'm happy to buy something
that's expensive.

670
00:40:38,240 --> 00:40:40,880
It's gonna last me 10 years.
But this did not last like it

671
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,280
was falling apart and fraying at
the edges because it was made

672
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,360
with all these natural.
Materials and blah blah blah,

673
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,680
which is great.
So it's hard to find the stuff

674
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:54,080
we need to find to make our home
more like safe or our indoor

675
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,840
homes more safe.
I like the stuff you can wash

676
00:40:56,840 --> 00:41:00,720
because I do feel like as you
wash it, stuff gets less toxic,

677
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,640
right?
Like just like if you buy

678
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,400
clothing, like the first time
you wear it, it's going to be a

679
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,960
lot more toxic than the 20th
time you wear it, which is a

680
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,320
reason why so many people buy
second hand.

681
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:15,560
It's actually a really good
strategy for keeping VOC's low

682
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,000
in your house is to buy your
clothes second hand.

683
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:24,120
But when it comes to like the
general stuff, you cannot really

684
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,960
prevent it.
You need a, you need a, a

685
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,320
curtain that's going to off gas.
You need a desk, it's going to

686
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,680
off gas.
You need, you buy a, a fake

687
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:36,200
plant, it's probably off gas.
So buying real plants helps

688
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,200
neutralize the air in your
environment.

689
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,920
So like get those peace lilies
and get those things that clean

690
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,840
your air pathos and.
I mean, some are better known

691
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:48,760
for cleaning the environment,
aloe and stuff.

692
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,120
Some of them are toxic to cats.
So don't get all of the ones I'm

693
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,520
just listing off if you have a
cat.

694
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:58,320
But any plant, any green is
going to improve your

695
00:41:58,320 --> 00:42:00,200
environment.
So just you know that.

696
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,800
And then also air, like for me
it's the very high quality air

697
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,480
purifiers.
I'm not talking about the stuff

698
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,880
you buy at Target.
Because I've tried those and I

699
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:09,880
didn't.
Feel like they made a

700
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:13,000
difference.
I found air doctor through my

701
00:42:13,920 --> 00:42:19,440
biological dentist who does a
lot of sleep stuff so for her

702
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,400
sleep hygiene is super
important.

703
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:24,600
Sleep hygiene is not just a
human thing.

704
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,520
Sleep hygiene is for all of us.
That bed your pet sleeps in

705
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:33,080
could be super toxic.
The floor that they're sleeping

706
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,720
in, that rug that they're lying
on, like all that affects what

707
00:42:36,720 --> 00:42:39,360
they're breathing in and effects
how they're sleeping.

708
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:43,760
So she recommended for our whole
family, the Air Doctor.

709
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:45,800
She had another brand that I
can't remember.

710
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:49,600
Air Doctor has been fantastic.
I love that they have like

711
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:53,440
multiple layers of filters for
different things because the

712
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:56,080
things you buy at like Target or
Walmart, they have like 1

713
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:58,120
filter, right?
Which is fine, but that's not

714
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:00,360
getting the VOC's.
That's just not getting it.

715
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,720
It might be getting the fur from
your pet when they shake off.

716
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:07,040
It'll take that layer of fluff
that flew off of them.

717
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,840
It might be taking some of like
the pollen from the air if you

718
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,200
leave your window open.
But it's not taking the stuff

719
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,840
that we're really talking about,
the stuff that is forever in

720
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,600
your home that just hangs in
your area that you're not

721
00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:21,760
familiar with that you don't
even know it's there.

722
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:25,440
They are an investment, but they
really do last a long time and

723
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,480
they have different sizes for
different square feet, which I

724
00:43:28,480 --> 00:43:32,120
think is very strategic, right?
So if you have a one condo, a

725
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,880
small condo or apartment, you
might be able to get one that's

726
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:38,320
exactly the ideal size for that
whole space.

727
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,120
You don't need a lot of space
for that.

728
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,560
And it's going to be it's going
to help you sleep better,

729
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,880
function better in your home.
It's going to keep those Bocs

730
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,920
from being in the air lingering
as much as they are.

731
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,640
It might might not be 100%
elimination, but for these high

732
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,440
quality air purifiers, it's a
very.

733
00:43:55,440 --> 00:44:01,200
High level of air purifying
really is, so don't just fall

734
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,560
for just any of them.
Do your research, check the

735
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:05,440
square footage of how many you
need.

736
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,960
For your home and what levels
like I have.

737
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,480
Of the air doctors, I have four
of them and I bought them little

738
00:44:11,480 --> 00:44:14,560
by little.
They had a sale where like I

739
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,520
bought like this is not
advertising or sponsored at all.

740
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,120
Like this is just me sharing my
experience.

741
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,520
Even though air doctor I'd love
a sponsorship.

742
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:28,600
I bought like 3 at one time
because they have like a set

743
00:44:28,600 --> 00:44:31,680
right?
Like basically on sale, 30% off

744
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,920
the whole set.
And then I was able to pay it

745
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,440
because they do allow the whole
like pay installment kind of

746
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:40,680
thing.
So I paid for them over a year

747
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,720
and I don't even think I paid
interest if I did it was

748
00:44:43,720 --> 00:44:46,080
minimal.
So it just made sense to like do

749
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,200
that.
And then for the room where the

750
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:52,240
litter box is, I was using like
a Target 1 and it just wasn't

751
00:44:52,240 --> 00:44:56,000
keeping up.
So then I this summer I bought

752
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:58,560
another one to put in that room
and I've been so happy with

753
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:00,600
them.
And just now this I've had it

754
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,680
for the first set I've had for a
year and just now I'm having to

755
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,720
replace the filters.
So another thing is.

756
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:11,440
You, you can vacuum the external
filter and it'll alert you when

757
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:18,160
you, you get the, you know, when
you need to get a new, a

758
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,480
replacement filter.
And then one of the things that

759
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,520
I love about it is they're
automatic.

760
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,080
So they're not always running.
And so you don't have to worry

761
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,960
about it scaring your pet.
Like when my husband uses his

762
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,840
aftershave, which is very
smelly.

763
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:33,400
I don't know if it's toxic,
smelly or you know, or essential

764
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:38,080
oil smelly, but it's smelly.
I hear ramp up, right?

765
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:42,280
And it's it's in my bed in our
bedroom and he's in the

766
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:44,840
bathroom.
And I hear it ramp up if I use

767
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:49,360
something on my hair like dry
shampoo, even if it's like, you

768
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,120
know, a powdered one that's good
or like one of the better ones,

769
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:56,960
which I've not found one that's
really truly like benign.

770
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,200
I hear it kick up, but it won't
run all night where you're like

771
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,720
hearing that hum unless you want
to.

772
00:46:01,720 --> 00:46:05,800
It has that feature too.
So I think investing in

773
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,640
something like that is a really
great way, like investing in

774
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:11,000
food and investing in an air
purifier.

775
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:15,280
For me, if I had to be like, do
these two things, I'll, I'll say

776
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:17,880
it to my top three and then I
want you to give us your top

777
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,600
three.
I'll say food and water, like

778
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:25,040
best food you can afford, fresh
food, even if it's only 20% of

779
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:28,520
the bowl.
Don't spray your yard with

780
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,040
anything if you can avoid it.
If if mosquitoes are an issue,

781
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,960
then I'm giving you the OK, but
there's no reason why you should

782
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:39,400
be spraying for like weeds
please.

783
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,440
And then the other thing would
be your indoor air quality.

784
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:45,440
Like focusing on that would be
huge.

785
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:51,680
Yeah, I don't know that I
necessarily disagree with any of

786
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:54,240
that.
I mean, obviously I have other

787
00:46:54,240 --> 00:47:00,160
things, but those are pretty big
ones.

788
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,240
And they're pretty easy to, I
feel like they're pretty easy if

789
00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:07,640
you were to say, OK, like I'm in
2025, I'm going to do better

790
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:13,000
just for the food.
Maybe I'll invest in a garden in

791
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,520
like one of these indoor gardens
and I.

792
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,640
Yeah.
I will grow parsley and I will

793
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:20,320
put some parsley in my dog's
food.

794
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,560
Which one's the good?
Is the cilantro's the good

795
00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:29,480
Detoxer, Right.
So cilantro, yeah, maybe, yeah,

796
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:31,320
grow some cilantro for the
family.

797
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,120
And if it doesn't taste like
soap to you, then hopefully it

798
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,440
won't taste like soap to your
pets.

799
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:42,680
I think that herbs are a really
good way to like add stuff.

800
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,560
That was one of the talks that
we did.

801
00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,120
I just went to blog Pause and on
Saturday night it was Blog

802
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,960
Pause.
It was like a Ted Talk style

803
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:56,560
presentation where like there
was 9 speakers shared a Ted Talk

804
00:47:56,920 --> 00:48:00,280
but in the pet industry.
So it was not run by Ted at all,

805
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:05,760
but it was run by Blog Paws and
one of the Co founders of blog

806
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,920
paws is a coach trainer that's
worked with.

807
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,640
Ted Talks.
So she's bringing that style to

808
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,240
the pet industry and it was
fantastic.

809
00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:17,480
And Hannah was a presenter that
talked about like 5 herbs and

810
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,080
what they do for our pets.
I'm like how easy it is to

811
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,600
really just.
Add.

812
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:26,960
Something like that to your pets
diet, if they'll take it, you

813
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:28,560
know.
And even for us, it's like she

814
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:31,720
said, you go to a restaurant,
there's like a little sprig of

815
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:34,560
parsley on the plate and
everybody just moves it away.

816
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:39,000
My grandfather, born in 1922 in
Spain, he would eat it and he

817
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,720
would look at us and be like,
why are you not eating that?

818
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:45,080
That's so good for you.
Yeah, because they knew before

819
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,960
modern medicine, and I mean 1922
still pretty long time ago, they

820
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:50,680
knew that these herbs were
helpful.

821
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:55,520
So like even if it's just that
or what if, if people don't have

822
00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:59,000
like a water filtration system
that they can trust, what do you

823
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,280
recommend?
Yeah.

824
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,680
I mean getting a water
filtration system in your home

825
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:07,440
is pretty expensive.
I think you can get like

826
00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:13,800
countertop ones that still are
an investment, but probably

827
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:17,520
worth it and probably can do
like the Afterpay or a firm or

828
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,800
something like that where you're
paying overtime without

829
00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:26,160
interest.
For me, I I have just been

830
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,840
buying water.
I get like a water delivery

831
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:35,880
service, but it's, it's, I mean
something you have to keep up

832
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:37,640
with, which is a pain in the
butt.

833
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:39,680
Yeah, yeah.
For sure, it's not always.

834
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,840
Convenient.
But if you're the good thing

835
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:47,440
about food and water is that I
think you've said this a lot is

836
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,200
that when you start paying
attention to your pets, food and

837
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:52,680
water, you kind of start paying
attention to yours.

838
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,920
And Cara, when we did the, you
know, the my Halloween episode

839
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:01,760
Cara from raw pot adventures,
she says that she keeps like,

840
00:50:01,760 --> 00:50:06,280
you know, like the bottoms of
her broccoli and the extra, you

841
00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:10,720
know, herbs and carrot.
When she's, you know, peeling

842
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:14,360
carrots or whatever, she keeps
that and she uses it to give to

843
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,000
her pets.
And if you start using like the

844
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,480
clean 15 and The Dirty dozen as
a guide, then you can add these

845
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:25,800
fresh foods that didn't cost you
anything to your pets bowl.

846
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:27,640
And you're also eating better
foods, right?

847
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,920
You're, you're choosing better.
Like I, I have a few things that

848
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,440
I remember off the top of my
head, like avocados don't have

849
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:38,200
to be organic.
And I do wash them with, I buy

850
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:41,840
conventional and I do wash them
with like my very high quality

851
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,080
dish soap, a little drop and I
wash it, but like if something's

852
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,520
organic, I'll just rinse it.
And you know, it's not, it

853
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,400
doesn't.
I'm, I'm trusting that even if

854
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,920
it has a little dirt in it,
we're healthy enough to deal

855
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,160
with it.
I'm sure it has bacteria, but

856
00:50:56,160 --> 00:51:00,160
everything does.
So the better you do with your

857
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:04,800
own stuff, the better you can do
with your pets and adding 20% of

858
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:06,600
your bowls.
Really not that hard.

859
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:12,360
Like my sister, just my sister's
here watching like now, living

860
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:16,080
here for now.
And she was, you know, I took

861
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,920
her dog.
And so she's seeing the treats I

862
00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:23,200
give and they're like, you know,
freeze dried raw, like chicken

863
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,640
hearts and beef livers and cod
skins and things.

864
00:51:27,080 --> 00:51:31,040
And she's like, wow, that like
sure beats the two euro treat

865
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,000
that I used to give him in
Spain.

866
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,080
And I'm like, oh God.
And I you know, because treats

867
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,920
are not even like a key part of
the diet.

868
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,520
Like invest in some good ones
and maybe just do 1A day.

869
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,600
But instead of like the four you
give, you give one good one and

870
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:52,600
same for you, right?
Like, instead of going to like,

871
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:57,280
get a nasty, you know, cupcake
with all sorts of horrible

872
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:00,840
things, maybe on Saturday make a
dozen cupcakes and freeze them

873
00:52:00,840 --> 00:52:04,240
so that you have a high quality
cupcake in the fridge.

874
00:52:04,240 --> 00:52:07,920
Like these kinds of things are.
They're kind of like so obvious,

875
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,320
but we're so busy that we
forget.

876
00:52:10,320 --> 00:52:12,720
Just like.
That we'd like quality over

877
00:52:12,720 --> 00:52:16,600
quantity can really make a big
difference, especially in food.

878
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,080
Well, yeah.
And it's like, and if we, if we

879
00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:23,560
look at it that way, where like
I think a lot of.

880
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,200
It's chemistry.
It's chemistry.

881
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,360
I think a lot of people are
starting to realize that the

882
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:33,880
more you eat at home, the
healthier you are.

883
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:38,360
And that kind of is a
generalization, regardless of

884
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,520
what you're eating at home, as
long as you're making the food

885
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,760
yourself.
Because yes, there are things I

886
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,920
still don't want you to use,
like seed oils and all of that

887
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,960
jazz, but you're still going to
be healthier.

888
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:52,680
And if you take that same
principle and apply it to your

889
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:57,040
pets, like, wow, you know,
instead of feeding them.

890
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,720
And that's actually one of the
things that I really resonated

891
00:53:01,720 --> 00:53:04,120
with me this year, that really
stuck with me this year is that

892
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,560
for so long I have been talking
about eating fresh food, eating,

893
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,040
you know, raw food, diets, all
of the things.

894
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:18,760
And with Rodney Habib and Dr.
Karen Becker, they with

895
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:24,160
everything they've done, they
have realized that it's, it so

896
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,480
much is in the wording that we
use.

897
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,800
And so they say minimally
processed versus ultra

898
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:33,640
processed.
And if we look at it that way,

899
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:38,400
there is there isn't a doctor on
the planet, much less a

900
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,840
veterinarian who well, maybe a
veterinarian, I don't know.

901
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,880
We definitely have a lot of work
to do there.

902
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,960
But there certainly isn't a
human doctor doctor on the

903
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:50,480
planet that would try to argue
that an ultra processed food is

904
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:52,760
better for you than a minimally
processed food.

905
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:58,560
So looking at it that way and
just saying, OK, how can I

906
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,560
adjust my pets food to where I'm
doing the same thing?

907
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:05,200
I'm making it for them at home.
Like that would be ideal.

908
00:54:05,560 --> 00:54:08,640
And if you can't, if you don't
have the time, if you don't have

909
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:13,080
the bandwidth to do something
like that, how can I bring

910
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:17,560
something that is as close to
that as possible into my home to

911
00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:22,280
feed my pet?
And that in so many instances,

912
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:27,520
you know, so many people will go
to the veterinarian and the, the

913
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:32,880
vet will say, well, your dog has
stage 1 kidney disease or

914
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:38,640
they're a little chunky, or I'm
trying to think of something

915
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:41,920
else like there because of,
because of this.

916
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,720
Then let's switch them to this
other ultra processed food

917
00:54:45,720 --> 00:54:47,360
that's a prescription diet,
right?

918
00:54:47,360 --> 00:54:50,200
Or a veterinary diet, whatever
they call it, depending on the

919
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,760
brand.
And the reality is if you just

920
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,960
switch from the ultra processed
food to a minimally processed

921
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,440
food, more often than not,
you're going to completely

922
00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:04,960
mitigate whatever issue was
going on in your pet to begin

923
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:08,560
with.
And that's just, it's so

924
00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:10,640
powerful.
It's really.

925
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,280
And we can't.
And we can't deny that there are

926
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:18,080
also links when we're wrapping
up soon.

927
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:20,600
So we're not going to be able to
get into this in detail, but

928
00:55:20,600 --> 00:55:25,080
there are links for so obesity,
for example, causes all sorts of

929
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:28,920
comorbidities, right?
So like the, the joint pain, the

930
00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:33,200
heart issues, the liver issues,
the kidney issues, the

931
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,760
everything issues, right?
Like just a general taxing on

932
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:42,120
the body and usually it's you're
they're obese because eating

933
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,840
crappy food, not because they're
eating wonderfully, you know,

934
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:51,320
lean, high quality meats.
OK, So think about what they're

935
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,640
using to treat these conditions
and the possibility that those

936
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:58,400
could cause an increased risk in
cancer.

937
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:03,840
We all see this in our
medications when we read those

938
00:56:03,920 --> 00:56:08,120
medical those inserts for
everything what you get at the

939
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:12,680
pharmacy, it says, you know,
very rare risk.

940
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:16,480
Usually there are very rare
risks, but you add this rare

941
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:20,320
risk and that rare risk and that
rare risk and say that fast four

942
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,320
times.
And now that rare risk is not as

943
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:27,080
rare anymore because you're
taxing the body on on top of the

944
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,840
already, you know, taxed organs
within the body.

945
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:36,480
So by reducing the risk of
obesity and reducing the need

946
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:41,720
for these medications that
inevitably may have a risk

947
00:56:41,720 --> 00:56:46,640
factor for cancer, we're
preventing even further.

948
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,000
So like, and that's for all of
us, right?

949
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,520
Like that's for all of us.
It's one of the reasons why the

950
00:56:52,560 --> 00:56:55,400
Ozempics and gobies are getting
so popular.

951
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,320
And it's not because people want
to be skinny.

952
00:56:57,320 --> 00:57:01,880
It's because the risk of these
medications are is lower than

953
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:04,880
all the 50 medications people
are taking because they're

954
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,920
obese, right?
So like it's really when it

955
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:12,800
comes down to it, it's like we
are medicating already super

956
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:17,160
taxed bodies with different
things for different organs

957
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:21,480
instead of making sure that
we're watching our weight,

958
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:26,040
feeding our bodies properly,
using, like you said, seasonal

959
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:28,560
foods, fresh foods, eating at
home.

960
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,560
You know, if you were eating
Doritos for the I mean, wasn't

961
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:34,960
it super size me and how sick he
got?

962
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:37,960
And like the.
Quality of a lot of the pet food

963
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,600
we're feeding is that quality
pet food.

964
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:44,040
So just think about how much you
can even save at the vet by

965
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:47,360
investing in a better quality
pet food because you're not

966
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:50,600
paying for all these meds that
are increasing, inevitably

967
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,360
increasing your pet's risk of
cancer.

968
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,960
So it's like a whole full circle
thing.

969
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,280
And I say this knowing that my
kids could be eating better, my

970
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,480
husband certainly could be
eating better, which we have

971
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:05,080
conversations about this often.
And I personally could be eating

972
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,680
better.
And, you know, as we get get

973
00:58:08,680 --> 00:58:12,160
further away from the pandemic,
I think we're all in a better

974
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,920
place to take care of ourselves.
I think the pandemic was a

975
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,800
really big trauma.
I know it was really difficult

976
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,080
for me to even prioritize my
health when like the world felt

977
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,640
so out of control.
But I feel like it's a good

978
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,880
time, especially now at the end
of the year, to first of all,

979
00:58:26,880 --> 00:58:29,800
watch what we're doing around
the holidays because it's a time

980
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:35,520
to like get really crazy and,
you know, kind of forget, make

981
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:37,320
purchases without thinking about
them.

982
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,080
Receive gifts that like of
candles and just light it, not

983
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,080
thinking about it.
And try to be more mindful this

984
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:47,560
time of year about what really
we want to bring into our homes,

985
00:58:47,560 --> 00:58:51,160
what we don't, our priorities as
far as our food for ourselves

986
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,720
and for our pets, routines,
sleep and, and not letting like

987
00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:59,960
the chaos of the season kind of
make the situation that's

988
00:58:59,960 --> 00:59:02,040
already probably not ideal even
worse.

989
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:05,600
So that when it comes to like
2025, you don't need to do like

990
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:10,920
a huge like revamp and all these
like New Year's resolutions

991
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,120
because you fell off the wagon
so hard.

992
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:17,400
Just a reminder.
And like October was pet obesity

993
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:18,520
week.
And I had said that we should

994
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,880
talk about pet obesity.
And I think we kind of just like

995
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:22,920
covered them both together
really well.

996
00:59:22,920 --> 00:59:28,800
But 60% of pets in the US are
obese or overweight.

997
00:59:29,240 --> 00:59:35,440
That is the statistic.
And the higher the weight, the

998
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:39,040
higher the risk of cancer.
So those two things cannot be

999
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:40,200
denied.
Yeah.

1000
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:47,760
Well, and I, I just for us and
for our pets, like if we really

1001
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,920
just shift the way we think
about things like a headache is

1002
00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:57,400
not an Advil deficiency, a, you
know, obesity is not an Ozempic

1003
00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,960
deficiency, cancer is not a
chemotherapy deficiency.

1004
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:08,480
Like these are all lifestyle
induced issues that our current

1005
01:00:08,800 --> 01:00:12,640
sick care system throws
medications at without

1006
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:22,360
addressing food and lifestyle.
So if we really look at OK.

1007
01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:26,520
This is what is wrong and
instead of saying what can I

1008
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:33,640
give, how about what needs to
change Like that is such a huge

1009
01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:41,600
mindset shift that literally can
completely change the trajectory

1010
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:44,120
of your life or your pet's life.
For sure.

1011
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:50,200
I, I went to an endocrinologist
recently and back to the Ozempic

1012
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:52,600
thing.
She said that you know, her, the

1013
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:54,640
person's insurance wouldn't
cover it because she wasn't

1014
01:00:54,640 --> 01:00:58,280
obese enough.
So the person went on a cruise

1015
01:00:58,280 --> 01:01:01,680
and got obese enough.
It was 10 lbs.

1016
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,720
It was 10 lbs.
So she just needed to start at a

1017
01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:08,520
certain level.
And when you think about that,

1018
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,400
you think, Oh my God, why would
you do that to yourself, right?

1019
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:13,400
Why would you put yourself at
greater risk of all these

1020
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,640
things?
But we're doing that every day,

1021
01:01:15,880 --> 01:01:22,800
like not to that extent, right?
Like we're not willingly putting

1022
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,240
on pounds, but with every choice
we make, we are willingly

1023
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:31,680
putting on pounds, right?
Like we with every candle we

1024
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:37,760
light, we are willingly taking a
risk that is not necessary.

1025
01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:41,720
So when I heard that, I thought,
OK, that's extreme, but it

1026
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:45,160
reminded me that that's a
decision somebody made that's

1027
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,160
just as impactful as the
decisions I make to cook a

1028
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,600
healthy meal for my children
instead of telling my husband

1029
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,920
pass by McDonald's, right?
Like, that is an equally

1030
01:01:54,920 --> 01:01:59,040
important decision because every
time you say let's do fast food

1031
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,880
instead of cooking at home, we
are doing the same thing that

1032
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,240
person did.
We're choosing the less

1033
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:12,080
beneficial option, the riskier
option, the less wholesome

1034
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,120
option.
We're doing the same thing, not

1035
01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:16,560
at that scale.
So that helped me kind of

1036
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:20,920
reframe things like this is of
course not me gaining 10 lbs to

1037
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:25,680
get out of medication, but maybe
it's me saying instead of trying

1038
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,280
a medication, I'll try the
lifestyle change first.

1039
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:32,000
And then if I do it.
To the best of my ability and I

1040
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:37,000
still can't get there.
Then I will take the medication

1041
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,320
and my husband, I don't like to
talk about people's medical

1042
01:02:40,320 --> 01:02:43,400
stuff, but like he's on, he was
on statins at some point.

1043
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,680
And I'm like, did you try
improving your diet?

1044
01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:50,920
Right?
Like it's so easy to forget that

1045
01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:53,720
these medications have side
effects.

1046
01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:57,040
Like statins kill your kidneys.
So which ones?

1047
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:58,800
Which ones more important?
Your heart, are your kidneys,

1048
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,280
right?
Like, these are the choices

1049
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,520
we're really making.
And this is not just for

1050
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:05,160
ourselves, but it's also for our
pets.

1051
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:08,640
Like when I'm giving them, you
know, letting them eat that

1052
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,640
pizza off of the table because I
didn't get there in time for my

1053
01:03:11,640 --> 01:03:17,320
kids to, like, pick it up.
That's the choice I'm making is

1054
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,960
like, it's hurtful for you.
It's going to upset your

1055
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:23,400
stomach.
It's not good for you.

1056
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,720
You know, Papa John's is not
formulated for dogs nor

1057
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:31,600
formulated for humans.
So like those little decisions

1058
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:35,560
we make every day really add up.
So I'm not anti medication at

1059
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,880
all, at all.
When you need a medication and

1060
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:42,600
there's people who are on, you
know, these and I don't want to

1061
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:46,960
demonize Ozempic or anything
like that, but like those people

1062
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:51,400
who absolutely need it, who have
genetic like who have issues

1063
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:54,840
with pancreas issues that really
truly make it so that they don't

1064
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,760
produce enough.
Like, you know, insulin

1065
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,000
resistance is I think 80% of the
population has insulin

1066
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,320
resistance at some level.
There are people that can't

1067
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:08,240
lifestyle change their way out
of that insulin resistance.

1068
01:04:08,240 --> 01:04:12,360
So those people are great.
But one of the things that we

1069
01:04:12,360 --> 01:04:15,800
can't continue to do is put
throw medication at something

1070
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,720
without remembering the risk
factors associated with that,

1071
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:20,600
right?
Like.

1072
01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:22,320
It's.
Not one or.

1073
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,000
The other, it's both.
You get both.

1074
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,840
It is.
And to that point, yes.

1075
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,240
So like you have a type 1
diabetic, they have to have

1076
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:34,480
insulin to survive, right.
OK.

1077
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:39,280
But then again, you turn around
and look at it a different way

1078
01:04:39,280 --> 01:04:43,640
and say that is that exactly
right there shows you that we

1079
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,480
have a sick care system and not
a healthcare system because they

1080
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:50,120
need it to live.
They don't like there is no

1081
01:04:50,120 --> 01:04:53,040
lifestyle like you were just
saying there is no lifestyle

1082
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:55,800
factor that can adjust that they
have to have it.

1083
01:04:56,560 --> 01:05:00,920
And yet what it's a thousand
$2000 a month that they have to

1084
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:06,680
spend on like that just shows
you exactly where our sick care

1085
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,200
system where the pharmaceutical
companies actually care because

1086
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:15,000
that GLP 1 whatever is a big
wagyuzy whatever it is.

1087
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:21,600
Yeah, it has, It was introduced
for a reason and it has benefits

1088
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,760
and I have certain doctors that
I listen to that like if you

1089
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:28,920
micro dose it, then it actually
can be beneficial.

1090
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:34,720
However, also lifestyle factors,
eating a lot of red meat, eating

1091
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:37,440
healthy, eating a lot of
protein, you're going to get GLP

1092
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:42,520
ones from eating that too.
So like they but they, they find

1093
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,720
that it does XYZ so they're
going to mass market it to all

1094
01:05:46,720 --> 01:05:49,960
these people.
I promise you that informed

1095
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:53,080
consent is not there.
That informed consent letting

1096
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,760
you know that by the way, when
you're on this medication, you

1097
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:59,360
still need to be making these
lifestyle changes.

1098
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:01,920
Otherwise, muscle wasting and
friends.

1099
01:06:02,040 --> 01:06:07,440
Who are on it and you know, they
my friends who are on it because

1100
01:06:07,440 --> 01:06:11,680
they are obese and obesity is an
illness, right Like it's not

1101
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:15,040
necessarily like as easy as just
stop eating.

1102
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,000
I will never say that and I will
never shame anybody who

1103
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:22,680
struggles with their weight and
they are like really happy with

1104
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:26,960
the way they feel and how it
supports their bodies but they

1105
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,320
can't eat fatty foods anymore.
They cannot drink alcohol

1106
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:33,600
anymore like they because it
makes them so I'll.

1107
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,560
So it is a medication that
really is, and this is like

1108
01:06:37,560 --> 01:06:39,840
completely off topic with pet
cancer, but like it's a

1109
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:45,480
medication that forces you to
change your lifestyle whether

1110
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,600
you like it or not.
The question comes of when do

1111
01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,280
you get off of it?
What happens, right?

1112
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:53,800
And like, that's obviously where
we see if it was a Band-Aid or

1113
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:56,360
if it really did do what it
promised to do.

1114
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,680
But when it comes to our pets,
like they, like I said when I

1115
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,960
was talking to Kara on my
Halloween episode, they're not

1116
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:07,240
making a peanut butter and bacon
sandwich in the middle of the

1117
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,920
night.
Like that's they don't have a

1118
01:07:09,920 --> 01:07:13,280
way to get into the fridge.
They shouldn't have a way to get

1119
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,600
into their kibble.
They should not have like free

1120
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:18,960
range, you know, raw meat
outside there.

1121
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,320
You shouldn't be like letting
them kill a rabbit or a chicken

1122
01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:25,840
every day.
So if they don't have the

1123
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,360
ability to make themselves those
peanut butter and bacon

1124
01:07:29,360 --> 01:07:33,720
sandwiches and you get to
control it, and it's so easy to

1125
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,280
control, like, compared to
children where they go to school

1126
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,000
and they, like, have parties and
like, I go to a birthday party

1127
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:40,840
and like, they come home with
like a blue mouth.

1128
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,360
And like here I was trying to
control like the artificial

1129
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,760
colors and flavors and like
impossible, right?

1130
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,440
Yeah.
But with our pets, we have this

1131
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,440
blessing where for the most
part, unless maybe you're like

1132
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:55,880
sharing custody of them or you
travel a lot and you leave them,

1133
01:07:55,960 --> 01:07:58,320
you know, with a pet sitter.
But even then with a pet sitter,

1134
01:07:59,240 --> 01:08:01,120
if, if it's a professional pet
sitter, they should be feeding

1135
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:04,200
what you provide and they should
be maintaining the same routines

1136
01:08:04,200 --> 01:08:06,600
that you have at home.
Obviously, if the pet sitter is

1137
01:08:06,880 --> 01:08:10,440
the pet's grandma, you know,
that's a whole other

1138
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:14,160
conversation that you know, it
is tough to like tell, you know,

1139
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:20,600
loved ones to not give the pet a
burger, a piece of their burger,

1140
01:08:20,600 --> 01:08:23,160
French fries, you know, like
when they're pet sitting them

1141
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,120
for you.
But those are parts of that's

1142
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:27,120
what you're supposed to be
thinking about when you choose

1143
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:29,720
your pet sitter and where you
when you choose who you leave

1144
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:33,840
them with and making.
Sure that you like control it

1145
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:37,200
because it is controllable.
You know, sometimes we can't

1146
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:40,120
control the time we get home and
whether or not we're able to

1147
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:42,800
walk our pets every day, right?
Like last night, even if I

1148
01:08:42,800 --> 01:08:46,960
wanted to walk a dog in like El
Paso was, it was like a

1149
01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,760
hurricane over here.
So like I can't control that

1150
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,200
exercise that day, but I can
control what they had for dinner

1151
01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:58,560
and I can control what we do the
next day and I can control what

1152
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:04,520
what you know, what quality of
food I'm buying and I can maybe

1153
01:09:05,399 --> 01:09:07,479
control.
How much I spend at the vet

1154
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,120
based on that food.
So like, thinking about it from

1155
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,920
the perspective that it is
possible is really nice.

1156
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,040
Like it's a really nice thing
because it what, as a parent to

1157
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:21,560
humans, it's really, really
discouraging when I see what

1158
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,439
they're eating at school and
what I what at what they're

1159
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,240
eating at their friends houses
or at parties.

1160
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:30,279
And I'm like, I have to remind
myself that even though they eat

1161
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,399
maybe really poorly on
Saturdays, like if they ate

1162
01:09:33,399 --> 01:09:37,359
really well Monday through
Thursday, like that, even just

1163
01:09:37,399 --> 01:09:41,680
one meal, like the morning and
the evening, but that's, that's

1164
01:09:42,359 --> 01:09:45,720
eight meals in a seven day
period that we're really high

1165
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:48,439
quality.
So that's where I'm focusing.

1166
01:09:49,279 --> 01:09:51,600
Because that is as much as I can
control.

1167
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,880
But again, with our pets like we
have the control, we have the

1168
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,000
control of the toxins we bring
into our home and we have the.

1169
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:03,080
Control of who we hire to spray
our yards and what veterinarian

1170
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,640
we choose.
And so let's leverage that

1171
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:09,640
control to like prevent these
risk factors.

1172
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:12,760
And again, like if you get a
cancer diagnosis, it doesn't

1173
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,840
mean you did anything wrong.
It doesn't mean that you know

1174
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:19,200
you could have prevented it.
That is not it.

1175
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:24,040
Like I know people who are 100%
supernatural and healthy and

1176
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,720
stuff and they're unfortunately
their kids get a their.

1177
01:10:27,720 --> 01:10:31,000
Kids get a cancer diagnosis, you
know, and they're like we did

1178
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:32,960
everything right.
We fed Whole Foods.

1179
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,840
We there is no way you can
control because we don't know

1180
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:39,680
the level of toxicity of like 1
exposure right?

1181
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,640
Like we have no idea.
I thought one time that like

1182
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:47,360
that child went to one place and
something had just been treated

1183
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:51,640
with something is what set off
this terrible, you know,

1184
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,040
sequence of events.
We have no idea.

1185
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,720
We don't understand cancer
enough or well enough yet.

1186
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,960
We don't know.
We don't understand the toxins

1187
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:00,520
well enough yet.
So please don't ever feel

1188
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:05,640
guilty, but do make the efforts
that you can commit today to

1189
01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,880
doing one thing, whether it's
improve their food or clean your

1190
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:14,680
air or call your spread, you
know, your condo or the

1191
01:11:14,680 --> 01:11:17,200
management company and find out
what they're spraying.

1192
01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:20,040
And like, find out you know how
to support your pet.

1193
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:22,600
If you haven't, you have no
control over what they spray at

1194
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,040
your apartment complex or your
condo community.

1195
01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:28,480
But find out you know if your
pet will eat cilantro to support

1196
01:11:28,480 --> 01:11:30,080
them.
I don't know, like do something

1197
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:34,960
that kind of is an actionable
way of supporting your pet's

1198
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:41,200
body in a world that really is
set up for illness.

1199
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:46,960
It is and like that I had so
many notes here because like

1200
01:11:46,960 --> 01:11:51,360
that kind of would have led me
into a Takashi and how we can

1201
01:11:51,400 --> 01:11:55,560
support our bodies in that that
process, then our dogs bodies in

1202
01:11:55,560 --> 01:12:00,240
that process.
But we're already an hour and 17

1203
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:05,080
minutes in so.
But at least we got, I feel like

1204
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,080
the most important thing I feel
for pet parents is not always

1205
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:11,840
like the science of like
autophagy, but like the things

1206
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:17,680
that they can do because no,
almost knowing is almost worse,

1207
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:20,160
right?
Like for me, knowing is almost

1208
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:21,920
worse.
Like I understand autophagy and

1209
01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:24,480
all that stuff.
And I sometimes I can't think

1210
01:12:24,480 --> 01:12:27,080
about it because I just feel
like if I think about it, we

1211
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:29,440
have a bad week that I'm just
like obsessing over the fact

1212
01:12:29,440 --> 01:12:31,920
that our bodies are in such a
bad place.

1213
01:12:32,520 --> 01:12:37,040
And I like if we wanted to do a
Part 2, I'm totally down for it.

1214
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,720
So you can give us the, the
science, but don't get

1215
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:43,080
overwhelmed for this because I
really do think it's like one of

1216
01:12:43,080 --> 01:12:45,240
those topics that you can get
really discouraged.

1217
01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,360
Like I know so many people and
pets that have died of cancer

1218
01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,760
and cancer is such a devastating
diagnosis.

1219
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:56,920
And like over in blog pause, one
of the speakers has had cancer

1220
01:12:56,920 --> 01:13:01,440
three times, like three times.
And her Ted Talk, her Ted Talk,

1221
01:13:01,440 --> 01:13:05,680
her, her talk was so, so
inspiring because, you know, she

1222
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:08,640
was kind of like reminding
herself to slow down and like be

1223
01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:10,600
like a cat and take a nap in the
sun.

1224
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:13,640
And her message was great.
But I'm looking at this person

1225
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:17,880
so lively, so, so strong.
And so, and she's had cancer

1226
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:23,600
three times.
So it's so discouraging that I

1227
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:26,120
feel like we have to flip it and
be like, no, it's not

1228
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,360
discouraging.
I'm going to make this one step.

1229
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,440
I'm going to.
Then once I get there, I'm going

1230
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:34,200
to take the second step.
Yeah.

1231
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:41,800
Well, I mean, and if I just to
close out for me, I guess I'll

1232
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:44,960
close out with what I said at
the very beginning with Doctor

1233
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:51,680
Kendra Pope saying that 90 to
95% is lifestyle.

1234
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:59,520
So start there.
Like don't, don't go too crazy

1235
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:01,560
and think like there's
absolutely nothing I can do.

1236
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:07,080
So don't do anything.
I understand that it is mostly

1237
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,640
lifestyle and that is actually
really empowering.

1238
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:14,800
Like understand that you don't
have complete control, but you

1239
01:14:14,800 --> 01:14:19,080
do have a lot of control.
So do what you can.

1240
01:14:19,080 --> 01:14:23,200
Start somewhere, start small and
build on that.

1241
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,360
Yes, and if you want to watch
something as it gets colder, I

1242
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:32,240
really like the documentary.
I think it's called Stink, and

1243
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,480
it talks a lot about those
scents, the scents that we don't

1244
01:14:35,480 --> 01:14:41,440
realize are so, so dangerous.
And the chemical, the big chem,

1245
01:14:41,480 --> 01:14:44,240
you know, the chemical
companies, how they get away

1246
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:51,160
with murder in many ways because
of the way that laws are set up

1247
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:55,320
that make them not have to
reveal what's in certain things.

1248
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,480
So yeah, the more we know, the
better.

1249
01:14:57,480 --> 01:15:01,440
And so if you want to do the
cancer Part 2 next week, we can

1250
01:15:01,440 --> 01:15:04,200
definitely do that.
So we can talk about kind of

1251
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:10,480
like now that we've done the
risk factors, we can talk about

1252
01:15:10,480 --> 01:15:12,320
how it actually works and like
you.

1253
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:14,720
Know.
Make sense of it all.

1254
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:18,760
I mean, I'm down.
I don't want you not use that.

1255
01:15:19,720 --> 01:15:23,480
I know it's such a big topic and
it can be so overwhelming for

1256
01:15:23,480 --> 01:15:26,480
people.
And I get it like because I am

1257
01:15:26,600 --> 01:15:31,040
that person that like, if I
don't, I try to, I want to eat

1258
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:35,040
in a six hour window every day,
three weeks out of the month at

1259
01:15:35,040 --> 01:15:37,880
least.
And like if if I even stretch

1260
01:15:37,880 --> 01:15:40,800
that to 8 or 10 hours, I feel
that like that's what's in my

1261
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:41,480
head.
I'm like.

1262
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:47,000
I'm not, and I do think my thing
is a really great thing for pets

1263
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,000
and an easy thing.
Obviously it's very easy for us.

1264
01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:53,160
So I think there's a ton of
value in discussing that.

1265
01:15:53,160 --> 01:15:55,800
It's free because.
Yeah, because really when we

1266
