Yeah, you're so welcome. 40 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 4: We are definitely looking forward to this conversation as it's 41 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: an area that we and a topic that we haven't 42 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 4: talked about on the podcast yet, so we are both 43 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 4: looking forward to learning so much. Our quote of the day, So, Emily, 44 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 4: our quote of the day will sound very familiar to 45 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 4: you because it's. 46 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 5: A part of your bio on your website. 47 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 4: And it's the words that you said have guided you 48 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: and brought you into this work. So these words the 49 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,960 Speaker 4: quote of the day comes from one of our favorites, 50 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 4: Bell Hooks. Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed 51 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: in isolation. Healing is an act of communion. And I'm 52 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: gonna say that one more time for the folks in 53 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 4: the back, so. 54 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 5: Make sure you heard it. 55 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: Rarely, if ever are any of us healed in isolation? 56 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 4: Healing is an act of communion. Yes, So really, when 57 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 4: you hear that quote, like what inspired what for you? 58 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 5: What is the inspiration behind that quote for you? 59 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 3: So the inspiration behind that quote for me is, first of. 60 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: All, I love Biale Hooks and just her approach on relationships. 61 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 3: And how to be in them and how to be 62 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: out of them right. 63 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: And when I think about my growth and my expansion, 64 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 2: it has been within community and it's. 65 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 3: Been within partnership right. 66 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: And so for me as a wellness practitioner, it's really 67 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: important for women people in general, but women know that 68 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 2: they're not designed to do this alone, right, and so 69 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: seeking out practitioners who are dedicated to supporting them on 70 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 2: their journey right to recovery. And then also finding practitioners 71 00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 2: and wellness practitioners who don't want to put a whole 72 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 2: you know, who don't want to hold on to them. 73 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: But once you get to that level, what's next, Let's 74 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,239 Speaker 2: push you forward, Let's get you to the next level 75 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 2: so you can continue to be a master of your body, 76 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 2: mind and soul. 77 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 3: Right. 78 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 2: So, and then you develop, you connect with another communion, 79 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: another communit, right. 80 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 3: And that to me, that's just so important. 81 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 5: It's so beautiful. You've worded that just amazingly. 82 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: And I'm thinking about the topic of today, right, So 83 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: we're going to be talking about various things, but definitely 84 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 2: lymphatic health and holistic wellness and so Emily, one of 85 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: the things that Dom and I continue to ask ourselves 86 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 2: as we create content, because we're going into our sixth 87 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: year of podcasting, is what's in it for the listener? 88 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:26,840 Speaker 3: Right? 89 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: It's always like, how can this impact impact black women? 90 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: And why is this important for black women? And so 91 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 2: I think about the health disparities and limited access to 92 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 2: specialized care, particularly lymphatic care. And so when we think 93 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 2: about this topic that's often overlooked the mainstream, right, healthcare. 94 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 2: Why would you say this is important for black women. 95 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about a woman who's listening. This maybe a 96 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,920 Speaker 2: new topic for her. Why is this topic important in general, 97 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 2: but more specifically for black women. Yes, so this topic 98 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: is very important because proactive healthcare is important. 99 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 3: We're we're waiting until the disease process starts, and we 100 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 3: need to get ahead of it. Right. 101 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: So, the lymphatic system is the immune system. It's a 102 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 2: primary aspect of the immune system. However, doctors aren't even 103 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: they get a chapter in it. 104 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: They don't, you know, they don't. 105 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: They don't get a lot of training in understanding the 106 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 2: lymphatic system and how it works. And so as far 107 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,800 Speaker 2: as black women go, we don't. We don't necessarily have 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 2: allies in the healthcare system, right. We have to be 109 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 2: able to like, you know, a lot of times I 110 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 2: tell my clients, I bet you think that you work 111 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: for your doctor. Your doctor worked for you, right, you 112 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 2: pay your doctor, you pay your insurance. 113 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 3: Right. 114 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 2: However, we go into the office, number our words, the 115 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: doctor says X, Y and Z, and you know, even 116 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: if it doesn't feel right intuitively, we go with it, 117 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: you know. And it's sometimes it's the thing because of 118 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: their lack of care culturally, right of understanding us and 119 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:13,600 Speaker 2: the disparities that we experience. You know, it ain't it 120 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 2: isn't individualized. You know, you're coming from a parts perspective 121 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 2: versus me as a person and getting to know me, right, 122 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: and so proactive health care is probably the most important 123 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 2: type of health care for the black woman. Sorry, you know, 124 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 2: because I had a friend amused when I first was 125 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 2: introduced to holistic work who said, okay, well you're gon't 126 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: pay for it. Whether you pay for it now or later, 127 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: you are going to pay for it. Do you want 128 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: to pay for it in several cold morbidities where you 129 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: got this disease that disease and then you got to 130 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: pay all these hospital bills, or do you want to 131 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: pay for a monthly elymphatic dream session, you know, and 132 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: make sure your immune system is not sluggage. You know, 133 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 2: you you curated, you created. Oh, it's the winter season. 134 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 2: This is when codes and flues and everything else arises. 135 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: So this is my season to put more into alternative 136 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: health care. 137 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 3: Right, So, we need. 138 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 2: To be empowered to take our health back in our 139 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 2: hands because it has been hijacked. 140 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 4: Right, Okay, Okay, there's so okay. There are so many 141 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 4: places I could go with this, and there's questions that 142 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 4: come up because I'm with you on like us taking 143 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: taking care of ourselves and us taking control of how 144 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 4: we take care of ourselves. But I want to step 145 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 4: back a little bit because I know that's someone is 146 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 4: listening and they're like, well, she just said that lymphatic 147 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: drainage is good for our immune system, but. 148 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 5: I don't quite understand. 149 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: I don't. 150 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,239 Speaker 4: I don't know exactly what that means. Like I've heard 151 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 4: the word the lymphatic system, but I don't I don't 152 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 4: know what that means. So Emily, can you break that 153 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 4: down for us so that we get a picture of 154 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:23,959 Speaker 4: what that means and why it's so you're saying it's 155 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 4: so important. 156 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely so. 157 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,840 Speaker 2: A lot of practitioners who work in this field they 158 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 2: try to some of it, like we have a waste 159 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: management system right. 160 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: Our lymph system. They use that to identify what the 161 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 3: lymphatic system is. 162 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: But it's way more than that, right however, it is, 163 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 2: and I'm gonna do this. We have a superficial lymphatic 164 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 2: vessels that run right under the scan, but we also 165 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,320 Speaker 2: have some deeper ones, right, and so our skin is 166 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: the largest organ of our body. We walk out in 167 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 2: this world, and it's who knows what's raining down on 168 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 2: our skin, right with all the toxicity out there, right, Well, 169 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: the lymphatic system is responsible for pulling some of that 170 00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 2: stuff in and dumping it out so it doesn't infiltrate, 171 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: you know, our system. 172 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:10,840 Speaker 3: Right. 173 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 2: So it's the interesting thing when you see a picture 174 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: of the lymphatic system. It's more extensive than our vascular system. 175 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: You know, there was a back in the day when 176 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 2: they were learning about. 177 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 5: The lymphatic system. 178 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 3: They are cadaver. 179 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: They injected mercury in a cadaver, and the lymphatic vessels 180 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: like run all across. 181 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 5: You know. 182 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 3: It looks like a Polynesian like that too on the base. Right. 183 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 2: That's like, our lymphatic system is extensive throughout our body, right, 184 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 2: and so when it is also responsible for our fluid balance, 185 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 2: it is responsible for you know a lot of times 186 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 2: the reason why these when these toxins get in and 187 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 2: they can't get out, well, we have an explosion of 188 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: inflammatory conditions right. 189 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: So if we can keep the. 190 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 2: Lymphatic system on point, on top of the job that's 191 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: responsible for how much metabolic dysfunction, can we start eliminating 192 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 2: or managing right a little bit better. So the lymphatic 193 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 2: system I call it the sleeper system, and that's because 194 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 2: everybody's sleeping on it, but it deserves its respect right 195 00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 2: next to the circulatory system and beyond.

The 254 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: thing that I recommend that individuals look for women look 255 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,680 Speaker 2: for when they're looking for a practitioner when they're searching 256 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 2: is to make sure that the training the person is 257 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 2: really trained. There's a lot of very quick learning MLD 258 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,800 Speaker 2: courses out there, however. 259 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 3: There's really only six schools that really teach it. 260 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: And so you really want somebody to kind of have 261 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 2: a medical understanding because. 262 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 3: There are contraindications. 263 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 2: If you have a congestive heart failure, which creates swelling 264 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 2: and a dema around the heart, you're not indicated for it. 265 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: Right. 266 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 2: If you have kidney failure and you have a lot 267 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: of fluid around your kidneys, we can't because we are 268 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320 Speaker 2: moving lymphatic fluid. We are ten times in the movement 269 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: of it. So let me take it back. Lymphatic fluid 270 00:15:55,200 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 2: moves normally eight to ten beats per minute. And this 271 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: is the analogy I like to use. You know, the 272 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 2: target where they have the upstairs downstairs, and so we 273 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 2: write the escalator, but then the carr takes this little, 274 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: sweet little time. 275 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 5: So this is the escalator. 276 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 2: Is the circulation, right, The lymphatic vessels is coasting a 277 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: ride on the circulation, right, So it's moving a lot 278 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: slower calves and the lungs are another form of how 279 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 2: the lymph moves, right, but it doesn't have its own pump. 280 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 2: So when I'm manipulating you, I am ten times in that. 281 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 2: So you're going from eight beats to minute to eighty beats, right, 282 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 2: You're going ten b's a minute to one hundred beats 283 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: per minute. So if you have certain organ failure, certain 284 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: medical conditions, the people whoever you find needs to know that, 285 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: they need to understand that there are certain contraindications. Right, 286 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 2: But besides that, it's just searching, seeing who's out there. 287 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 2: And then I would ask the question where did you 288 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: get trained? If they say Botter School, if they say 289 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 2: Academy of Lymphatics, if they say Botter School, close training, 290 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: And I probably said Botter twice, and there's a couple 291 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,520 Speaker 2: two more after that. 292 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 3: But besides, besides that, if they didn't go. 293 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,440 Speaker 2: To those schools, I would just you know, pod, I'm 294 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 2: not saying don't. 295 00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 5: Go, but I would just pod. 296 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 3: You know. 297 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 5: That is so helpful. I'm so glad you asked that question. Dom. 298 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about my personal experience having had my breast done, 299 00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,479 Speaker 2: having had an umbilical hernia repair, and I know that 300 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 2: for me the lymphatic drainage massages. My doctor was like, 301 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 2: that is so important for you, and I saw how 302 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:40,200 Speaker 2: that impacted the swelling. And I also had the privilege 303 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 2: of having a massage from you as well, Emily E 304 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 2: lymphatic drainage massage.

But what 339 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 2: you can do is you can tell the sympathetic system, 340 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 2: the fight or flight system. 341 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 5: To calm is there, right, Okay, calm. 342 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: Down because I need a moment. Right, So that's what 343 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: we're doing. When we're doing this. What happens is we're 344 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: calming the sympathetic nervous system which allows the parasympathetic system 345 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,119 Speaker 2: to kick in. And so it could happen depending on 346 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 2: how worked up you've been, you are, how much inflammation 347 00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 2: you have in your body. 348 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 5: It could take a little bit of time. 349 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 4: Right. 350 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 2: However, most people report full night sleep right or just 351 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 2: being RESTful. Right, So it's that that's an amazing feedback. 352 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,200 Speaker 3: Ping. Yes, if you're not pin, I'm concerned. 353 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 2: I'm really concerned, right because like I said, we are 354 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: ten times in. You're a fluid movement. We are detoxifying 355 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: your body. So if you're not peing after a manuallymphatic 356 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 2: drainage session, then we need to talk. 357 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 3: Are you drinking enough water? 358 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: Because to me, that might signify dehydration, right, sluggish. 359 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 3: Because what happens is what limp fluid. 360 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: Is primarily like it moves because of water, right. It 361 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 2: carries debris, It carries cells and things that need to 362 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 2: toxins as well as good It carries that through. 363 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 3: Right. However, if you don't have enough. 364 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 2: Water, how is it gonna move through the canals, How 365 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:09,920 Speaker 2: is it gonna move through its vessel? 366 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 3: It's not so it's gonna. 367 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 5: Be the sludge. Right. 368 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 3: So when people are not peen. 369 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 2: I'm concerned because we need to get you hydrated right right, 370 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 2: other things that is indicating healing, bringing collagen forward to 371 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:32,240 Speaker 2: your faith, right, I mean to your skin right, so 372 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 2: healing so there is right now.

Right? 502 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 2: Like from start, who I am now and looking at 503 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: all of my experiences the family I was born into 504 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 2: two relationships I had, to relationships I've ended, to careers 505 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,160 Speaker 2: I've had, and where I'm at now my understanding of 506 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 2: all those connecting dots to make me who I am 507 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 2: today right and love who I am today.

I was a dancer and 514 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: I was training to be in a professional company. But 515 00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: I was older, so everybody that I was training with 516 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 2: had already been training since they were kids. 517 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,040 Speaker 3: And I was trying to get. 518 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 2: My body to tech, you know, to do technique and 519 00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:04,360 Speaker 2: extensions and pirawets and have external rotation. So my mom 520 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,280 Speaker 2: introduced me to somebody who had a pilate studio. I 521 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,040 Speaker 2: went and said, can I volunteer or work? 522 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,640 Speaker 3: What can I do? And so I was then. 523 00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 2: Able to be introduced to pilates. 524 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 3: I ended up getting. 525 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 2: Introduced to gyrotonic and getting certified in that then I 526 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,640 Speaker 2: met the woman who introduced me to raw foods and 527 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 2: isa e bowls back in early two thousands. It's a 528 00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 2: staatefule now, but back then it was only one shop, 529 00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,640 Speaker 2: raw food shop that did isa ebols. 530 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:38,280 Speaker 5: In Berkeley. 531 00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 2: I was introduced to floating. Have you heard of floating 532 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 2: where you float on the salt water? 533 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 5: Yes? 534 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 2: Yes, So nowadays you can go to these nice places. 535 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 3: They got these pods that look real cool. 536 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,360 Speaker 2: That got rainbow lights stroven right, and you can turn 537 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 2: them on and off. But when I floated at twenty 538 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 2: years old, no, it was looked like a military there. 539 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 3: Was no light. I got in. I was like, are 540 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 3: you sure I will be okay? 541 00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 5: And I laid in and. 542 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 2: I had an amazing meditative experience. It was very healing, 543 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: But that was. 544 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 3: Scary at first, right, However. 545 00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:20,400 Speaker 2: My determination to become a professional dancer was so big. 546 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 2: I was open to trying whatever it took to get 547 00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 2: my body and my spirit in a place where I 548 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 2: can get on the stage and perform right. And so 549 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 2: that's kind of where it started, but it was more surface. 550 00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 5: It was very surface at that time. 551 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:41,200 Speaker 2: Then I moved then fast forward, dancing in Chicago at 552 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 2: that time, I was going to move back here to 553 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 2: be with my partner. We are now in our seventeenth year, 554 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,719 Speaker 2: which is crazy, but I was going to move back here. 555 00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: I knew I was going to go to school, but 556 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:54,640 Speaker 2: I really didn't know what I was going to major in. 557 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: In the last month, I met two people who were otis. 558 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,200 Speaker 2: And when I tell you, they talked, they love They 559 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: would tell me I love my job. 560 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,600 Speaker 5: I was like, don't nobody loved their job. 561 00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: I mean, both of them two different worlds apart, right, 562 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:14,840 Speaker 2: don't know each other talk. 563 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 3: One worked in hand therapy, the other. 564 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:20,959 Speaker 2: Worked with older adults who loved being an OT And 565 00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 2: that got the ball, got the ball rolling. 566 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 3: And then I was when I. 567 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,760 Speaker 2: Moved back here on a Friday, and I was in 568 00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,479 Speaker 2: school doing my pre weeks on a Monday. And so 569 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,080 Speaker 2: then got into OT school and was in the part 570 00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 2: of the last combined program. So I got my undergrad 571 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: and masters all in a three year span, and had 572 00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 2: a baby while I was in school as well. So yes, 573 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: yes I did it. I don't recommend it.

So then fast forward, I get 576 00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:58,320 Speaker 2: a job. I'm working in skilled nursing, dabbling home health, 577 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 2: and really get a love for it because I get 578 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 2: my training and then I see, like I. 579 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,600 Speaker 3: See older adults need love to write. A lot of 580 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:09,760 Speaker 3: ots get out. 581 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,719 Speaker 2: Of school and they just want to work in pediatrics. 582 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 2: But I was like, wait a minute, there's something here. 583 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 2: We need to care for our elders and you know 584 00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 2: what I mean, Like it was, it can be very devastating. 585 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,600 Speaker 2: So I did develop a passion for that. But my 586 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,360 Speaker 2: truest goal was to be in an acute care setting. 587 00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:29,120 Speaker 2: I wanted fast paced. I thrown me in so I 588 00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:30,720 Speaker 2: can learn all that there. 589 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:31,479 Speaker 5: Is to learn. 590 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,359 Speaker 2: Got two interviews lined up, one at Kaises and one 591 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:44,400 Speaker 2: at Sutter Health. Pandemic Oh my goodness. Oh, and I 592 00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 2: had to stay home and be with the kids. And 593 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,560 Speaker 2: it wasn't at first. It's like I even told my God, 594 00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:52,280 Speaker 2: I was like, why I just got in my career, 595 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:54,520 Speaker 2: Like why do I got to give up my career. 596 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 2: I'm established myself. You've been in yours, you know. But 597 00:34:57,800 --> 00:34:59,680 Speaker 2: at the end of the day, it made more sense 598 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: for him to go to work and. 599 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 3: Me to stay with the kids. 600 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:07,600 Speaker 2: And that is where I developed an understanding of the 601 00:35:07,640 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 2: possibility of having time and space to. 602 00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,520 Speaker 3: Be with my children, right. 603 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,120 Speaker 2: And I knew that I could not go back to 604 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,080 Speaker 2: working like that, right. I was working with jaded people, 605 00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:28,439 Speaker 2: people who didn't want to aspire or expand their knowledge, right, 606 00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,000 Speaker 2: just to collect a paycheck. 607 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:30,319 Speaker 3: Right. 608 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 2: And so I also, you know, felt a little depression 609 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 2: during that time, and so I didn't want to feel 610 00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 2: that again. 611 00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 3: And I was like, Okay, what do I need to do? 612 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,200 Speaker 2: And so I sawt during the Pandemic Health and Wellness podcast. 613 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 2: But I was very clear, I didn't want to learn 614 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:52,439 Speaker 2: health and wellness from a white person, right. I didn't 615 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 2: want to learn health and wellness from anybody other than 616 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: a black person.

Guess what the back door is some neural feedback. 672 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:55,360 Speaker 2: I'm a meditator now, I was not prior to neural feedback. 673 00:38:55,600 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 2: Now I don't need nothing, right, I can close my eye. 674 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:04,320 Speaker 2: So you know, we are in a day and age 675 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,840 Speaker 2: and time where there are things that can get us 676 00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,160 Speaker 2: on track and attuned with our body. 677 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 3: And so I'm so grateful to the brain Spot. 678 00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 5: I told them. 679 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,320 Speaker 3: I was like, you guys are always going to be 680 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 3: a part of my origin story. 681 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,840 Speaker 5: Okay, and boom here we go. Yeah, circle right, full circle. 682 00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 2: I just have to say one, Emily, You've introduced me 683 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,759 Speaker 2: to the brain Spot and a lot of the modalities 684 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 2: that you talked about. I've had a chance to indulge 685 00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,080 Speaker 2: in just over the past few years, and they've been 686 00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 2: game changing. But I want to circle back to your story, 687 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,200 Speaker 2: right because Hindsight talk about hindsight being in twenty twenty, 688 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,160 Speaker 2: that non traditional journey of wanting to be a dancer, 689 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 2: having your interests parked in the ot field, and like 690 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:47,320 Speaker 2: just the way that looking back on it, I'm sure 691 00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:49,160 Speaker 2: in the moment you were like, what the fuck is 692 00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,719 Speaker 2: going on? Like it was just it seemed like it 693 00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:53,800 Speaker 2: was all over. But now looking back as a listener, 694 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,040 Speaker 2: it all makes sense as. 695 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 5: You were walking through the journey. 696 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,600 Speaker 2: I also wanted to point out having these two interviews 697 00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:02,799 Speaker 2: and and then the pandemic comes, you got to be 698 00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 2: home with the kids, like OMG, and then you are 699 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,600 Speaker 2: a bad ass because you said, oh, I got to 700 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:10,920 Speaker 2: I just learned this new thing. Okay, I'm going to 701 00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:12,600 Speaker 2: go and roll on this. I'm gonna, i mean, talk 702 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:13,600 Speaker 2: about being a go getter. 703 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 5: So much there and you. 704 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,719 Speaker 2: Mentioned so much that I want to touch face on 705 00:40:17,760 --> 00:40:21,040 Speaker 2: for the audience. You talked a bit about self MLD, 706 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,759 Speaker 2: which I'm assuming is self manual emphatic drain that you 707 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,000 Speaker 2: talked about bio on hancing, neural feedback, red light therapy. 708 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 5: Can you break some of that down for the listeners? 709 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:36,000 Speaker 2: Yes, we know, yes, yes, yes, yes, I yes, thank 710 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:40,719 Speaker 2: you very much for slowing me down and myl neural feedback. 711 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,759 Speaker 2: I will say neural feedback did help me with my 712 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: impulsive impulsivity, which. 713 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,120 Speaker 3: I did not know I had. I would pick up 714 00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:52,240 Speaker 3: a cup and drink it and spill down my shirt, 715 00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 3: or I would cook and. 716 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,680 Speaker 2: Splatter would go everywhere, not realizing that I'm not being thoughtful. 717 00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,920 Speaker 2: And I remember one day I picked up a spoon 718 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 2: and I felt it in my hand and I was like, 719 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 2: oh oh, yes, so realizing that I was very impulsive 720 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 2: prior to experiencing what it's like for my neurological system 721 00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,240 Speaker 2: to be calm. So I will step into that because 722 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 2: there are different ways. I like Carly the owner, one 723 00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,160 Speaker 2: of the owners of the Barrier Brains, by her analogy. 724 00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:29,000 Speaker 3: Ladies, when you do your hair and your makeup, do 725 00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:29,920 Speaker 3: you use the mirror? 726 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:31,680 Speaker 5: Absolutely? 727 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:32,920 Speaker 3: Yes? 728 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:38,040 Speaker 2: Right, does the mirror do your hair and makeup for you? 729 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:38,160 Speaker 3: No? 730 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 5: That would be nice, but no no. 731 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,560 Speaker 3: So that's what neural feedback, biofeedback is. Right. 732 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 2: There are sensors that are placed on your head, and 733 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:56,080 Speaker 2: the brain is already organized with certain brave brainwave patterns 734 00:41:56,120 --> 00:42:01,400 Speaker 2: in the prefrontal cortext right, in the in the temporal lobes, 735 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 2: in the you know the occiple. There's so many brain 736 00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,920 Speaker 2: waves in the brain, but they know when to work. However, 737 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:14,600 Speaker 2: when our neurological system gets off balance, that coherence can 738 00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 2: get lost. You know how we have to calibrate our car, 739 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,200 Speaker 2: align our wheels, right, Well, we got to do the 740 00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 2: same thing sometimes with our brain, right, And some people 741 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 2: do that through meditation, right they like some people can 742 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:32,239 Speaker 2: really reorganize their systems. However, we do live in a 743 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,800 Speaker 2: time when we're innovated with what I call the small 744 00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:42,040 Speaker 2: which is these silent penetrating waves, down waves, Wi Fi waves, 745 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 2: ems from our devices being plugged into the walls. There's 746 00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 2: all these things penetrating us. Well, our brain is a computer, 747 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,600 Speaker 2: it's an electronic system, right, so if it's all these 748 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,279 Speaker 2: these waves hitting it, yeah, sometimes it's going to get 749 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,960 Speaker 2: off right and sometimes it needs to be recalibraate. 750 00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:02,359 Speaker 3: And so that's what neual feedback does. 751 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,680 Speaker 2: A lot of people get afraid that it's stimulating them. No, 752 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 2: it's not putting anything into your brain. It is saying, hey, 753 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 2: sleep waves like my son has in a region of 754 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:16,399 Speaker 2: his brain when he's up. You're not supposed to be there, 755 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,640 Speaker 2: not right now. So well why don't we pull a 756 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,879 Speaker 2: little bit of the wave that's supposed to be there 757 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:29,160 Speaker 2: right So, and it's making the brain self correct. It's 758 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:33,000 Speaker 2: bringing attention to the brain. Hey, this Gama wave was 759 00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,080 Speaker 2: all the way up in the prefrontal core. Takes no 760 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,240 Speaker 2: wonder this person is sparing some type of anxiety, right, It's. 761 00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 3: A needed wave. Like when you're a boss, when you've 762 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 3: got a. 763 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:46,040 Speaker 2: Direct a team that them Gama waves are important, But 764 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,400 Speaker 2: when you at home chilling with your your. 765 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 3: Family, they don't. You don't need to. 766 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 5: Be militant, okay, like you need to be. 767 00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,080 Speaker 3: It needs to it needs to go to the back. 768 00:43:56,160 --> 00:43:59,799 Speaker 2: So both hemisid fears of the brain you need to 769 00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 2: work together, and that sometimes gets thrown off. And now 770 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:08,600 Speaker 2: we have access to neuro feedback devices, and there are 771 00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 2: wellness ones like the brain spot uses which can't really diagnose. 772 00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,680 Speaker 2: And then the one that I got certified in to 773 00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 2: help my son is more of a targeted approach, right, 774 00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,560 Speaker 2: So I put the sensor where he has his sleep 775 00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 2: waves and I train him with the guidance of a 776 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 2: brain trainer in different frequencies to. 777 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:31,920 Speaker 3: Help his brain. 778 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:32,440 Speaker 5: Right. 779 00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,239 Speaker 2: So, yes, that neuro feedback, that's what that does. You 780 00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:41,160 Speaker 2: want to be better at meditating? Highly highly highly recommended, right, 781 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:47,920 Speaker 2: PEMF therapy, phulse electromagnetic field therapy, it's my thing. One 782 00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:50,239 Speaker 2: of the things that I try to tell people is 783 00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,399 Speaker 2: that we are no longer in contact with the Earth, right, 784 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,440 Speaker 2: we are no longer feeling Earth's frequencies by touching it 785 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,680 Speaker 2: with our hands and our feet. The Earth and us 786 00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:06,960 Speaker 2: as humans we are meant to have contact the Earth 787 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:11,440 Speaker 2: pulls the might be messing this up, so somebody here's it, 788 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:14,880 Speaker 2: but pulls the positive ions out of our body, right, 789 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:18,800 Speaker 2: and so the negative ions can go in. That positive 790 00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 2: charge needs to be pulled out and Earth used to 791 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: do that when we walked around with moccasins. 792 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,560 Speaker 5: That's what Earth does, right. 793 00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 2: So a lot of us are walking around, even if 794 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:33,160 Speaker 2: we're so called healthy, with inflammation in our bodies. Right, 795 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:38,320 Speaker 2: And so what PEMF therapy has done is we've tapped 796 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:44,080 Speaker 2: in or they've tapped into specific frequencies that Hell can heal, 797 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:47,640 Speaker 2: our body can heal our minds. Similar to neural feedback. 798 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:52,560 Speaker 2: It's a frequency based device, right. Our cells move through 799 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 2: an impulse. We are electrical beats, right, and we live 800 00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 2: in a world that has a magnetic field. So when 801 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:03,279 Speaker 2: you do POLT electromagnetic field therapy, you are communicating with 802 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,879 Speaker 2: each one of your cells depending on what the goal is. 803 00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,120 Speaker 2: So the math that I use, it has a recovery goal, 804 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:14,960 Speaker 2: it has a balance goal, you know, depending on the need. 805 00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,560 Speaker 2: So PEMF therapy I love it. It's I feel it's 806 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,600 Speaker 2: been my biggest health contributor. 807 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 3: And red light therapy. 808 00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:25,759 Speaker 2: A lot of us are walking around fatigues because we 809 00:46:25,760 --> 00:46:28,799 Speaker 2: don't have when ourselves are not producing enough energy, and 810 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,960 Speaker 2: so that's where red light therapy can come in. And 811 00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,800 Speaker 2: a lot of us have sleep disruption, so that's where 812 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,800 Speaker 2: red light therapy can help get us in our circadian clock. 813 00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 2: So it's I mean, I can go, it can go 814 00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 2: deeper and deeper and deeper.
