I appreciate that. Imagine if I took off 8 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: my shirt and that way might be unsettling enough to 9 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: throw you. Nope, you want to try new Come on, 10 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,280 Speaker 1: this will actually work really well with the topic at hand. 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: I never want Jerry to see my naked chest? Do you, Jerry? 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Do you want to see his naked chest? She should 13 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: not want to. She's saying, Hey, let's see what you got, Chuck. 14 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 1: It's not gonna happen, all right. What do you want 15 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 1: me to take my shirt off for this? Oh? Good gosh? No, okay, Chuck. 16 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: It's no secret to you that I grew up a 17 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: little fat kid. I want to see pictures, by the way, 18 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: I'd love to see that. I'll bring some in. Yeah, 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: I was a little fat kid. I was the Pillsbury 20 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: dough Boy was my nickname. I was chunky than thin, 21 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: and they called me the doughboy too. They push the 22 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: belly button and all that. Yeah, and I would do 23 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: the little you know, Wow, we're alike. It's so funny. Yeah, yeah, exactly. 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: It was kind of traumatizing. And um, I've always wondered 25 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 1: I had heard of body dysmorphic disorder before, and I 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: don't think I have it to a clinical degree, but 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: it occurs to me that, like, what I'm seeing when 28 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,680 Speaker 1: I look in the mirror is not necessarily what everybody 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: else is seeing. I wasn't going to bring it up, 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: but since you did. When I read this article, I thought, Wow, 31 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: that sounds an awful lot like Josh in certain cases. Really, 32 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: are you sure you didn't read how narcissism works? Well, 33 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: that was a different article. You're like, yeah, this one's 34 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: definitely Josh. I think they kind of are similar in 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: some ways. Actually they seem to be, yeah, because they're 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: they're both um centered around a focus on oneself at 37 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: the expense of, you know, paying attention to your surroundings 38 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: or other people. Yeah, that was awkward. You got it 39 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: out there first. I appreciate that. Of course, Body dysmorphic 40 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: disorder b d D is the little abbreviation that I'm 41 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,960 Speaker 1: probably gonna is because dysmorphic isn't doesn't roll off the tongue. 42 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: It's also called dysmorphophobia. Yeah, that's no, that's no better. No, 43 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,360 Speaker 1: we'll called b d D. Okay, well, then let's stick 44 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: with b d D. O. It's pretty you don't have 45 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: a speech impediment as well as body dysmorphic disorder. I know. 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: Basically what we're talking about, folks out there in podcast 47 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,920 Speaker 1: land is that if you're completely preoccupied with flaws on 48 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 1: your body, and not just one flaw, but you know several. Yeah, 49 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: your nose, which, strangely, I don't have any kind of 50 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 1: b d D around my nose. And I was kind 51 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: of like, I have a big nose. You don't have 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: a big nose at all. Look at this thing, dude, No, 53 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 1: it's not big. I have giant nostrils too. Well, that's 54 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 1: a different story. So it also chuck b d D 55 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: UM also frequently as a oh, what's the word. It's 56 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 1: a comorbidity with other mental I guess disorders like obsessive 57 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: compulsive disorder uh an arexia UM and uh, clinical depression, 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: which is why it's misdagnosed. Sometimes it's or they think 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: it's probably underdiagnosed. I think they about one percent of 60 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: the population UH is believed to have b d D. 61 00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: But yeah, they think that that's probably much higher. For 62 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: a number of reasons. Number one, somebody might not want 63 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: to talk about their flaws or their therapists. Yeah, and 64 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: you don't want to come across as some vain, superficial jerk. 65 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: And uh, but you know, we both go to shrinks. 66 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: Let's just go ahead and toss that out there. I 67 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: can't believe you said that. That's a lot of disclosure, Chuck. 68 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 1: I think I think healthy people go to shrinks. As 69 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: my shrink always says, I'll worry about the people who 70 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 1: don't go to shrinks. Yeah, those are the ones that 71 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: dress up in black and shoot up schools, right of 72 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: cour She says that, as I'm writing the check. So yeah, right, 73 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: just keep coming back, chump. So yeah, people are afraid 74 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: to say that to uh, their their psychiatrists or psychologists. 75 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: They're ashamed of the flaw so much that they don't 76 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: want to discuss it at all. Not just being ashamed 77 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: of being vain, they're so ashamed of their pot bilio 78 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: or whatever. Or they may be a lot more likely 79 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 1: to go to say a cosmetic surgeon over you know, 80 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: a psychoanalyst of some sort, which I'll go ahead and 81 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: ruin this one too. They don't The results of cosmetic 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: surgery usually don't work when you have b d D. No, 83 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: this was scary. You'll get the surgery and you'll still 84 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: be really you're worried that it's going to come back, 85 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: or your obsession will will transfer over to another part 86 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: of your body, right, or you get really angry at 87 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: the surgeon and say that they didn't fix it right right, Yeah, 88 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: which is that's it's a scary profession for a number 89 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: of reasons. So John Rivers, I think might be high 90 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: on the list you think. Have you seen her lately? 91 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: I feel bad for people who are who don't who 92 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: get tons of cosmetic surge. I mean, think about like that, 93 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: the the depth of their self loathing that that they 94 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: continuously go there junkies for it. Yeah. I don't know. 95 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: It's hard for me to drum up a lot of 96 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 1: compassion there, but I guess you're right. That's a good point, thanks, Chuck. 97 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: Not I feel somewhat shamed or you should feel shamed, 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: and not just about your body. Right, But the point 99 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: is John Rivers looks like a c trout? So is 100 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: that even really that's just what? Yeah, she looks like 101 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: a speckled trout. So bad to b d D. Yeah, 102 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: we we hit upon something. I said that the obsession 103 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: will transfer. B d D is a compulsive disorder. The 104 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: symptoms of it are repetitive and irresistible. Basically, what are 105 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 1: some of the symptoms for people out there who are thinking, huh, 106 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: I used to be a fat kid? Well, h this 107 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: is pretty obvious. But constantly checking your appearance in the 108 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: mirror or avoiding mirrors in reflective surfaces entirely true and 109 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: go either into the spectrum. Yeah that makes sense. Um, 110 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: Constantly comparing your appearance to others check uh, picking at 111 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 1: or otherwise attempting to fix an imagined flaw like excessive grooming. 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah check, yeah, I guess, measuring, touching or checking the defect, 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 1: changing your clothes a lot, refusing to be photographed, constantly 114 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: asking for reassurance about your appearance check, check and check. Camouflaging, 115 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: masking or disguising the flaw. Um, I do wear a 116 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: lot of makeup. Like if you have a big belly, 117 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: like we're in this big Hawaiian shirts and you know, 118 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: you're just a fun fact guy there. Yeah, that is 119 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: a signal to everybody else that you're a fact guy. 120 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 1: If you wear Hawaiian shirts all the time, happily, everybody 121 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 1: also just thinks that you're ready to party in the 122 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 1: life of the party. I see, I have a bit 123 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: of a belly, as it were, And this is a 124 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 1: known fact. But I found that when I wear a 125 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: tighter shirt and not tight but you know, a fitting, 126 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: fitting shirt, people say, hey, dude, you look like you've 127 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: lost weight. But if I wear the movement, oh no, yeah, 128 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: it definitely actually makes you look bigger when you reached 129 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 1: when you reach a certain point of um, I guess 130 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: weight loss or something, especially if you go from chunky 131 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: year right, well, you've you've pretty spelt now. But but 132 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: when I definitely hit a point where I realized, like 133 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: I look fatter in extra large shirts than in large shirts. Yeah, exactly. 134 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: It's a it's a good realization, it is. Uh. That's 135 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: that's all the big ones. Anxiety and fear when you're 136 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: around other people. Obviously excessive dieting and exercising that thing, 137 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,600 Speaker 1: suicidal thoughts. Yeah, that's the really downside, I guess, when 138 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: you're at your worst. And actually there's a lot of 139 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: people who I think something like on the order of 140 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: eight percent of people who have been diagnosed with b 141 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: d d UM have reported that they've considered suicide, and 142 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: about um have actually tried it. I don't know how 143 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 1: many successfully, but yeah, yeah, that's really sad. It is 144 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: sad because you know, I mean, you're at the point 145 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: where you just hate yourself so much. You know, you're like, 146 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna try this over again, right, And as 147 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: with most disorders, that's the darkest end of the spectrum. 148 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 1: And there is a big range from mild to really severe. 149 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell you the dark end of the spectrum, my friend. 150 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: Are you ready for this one? People with b d 151 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 1: D sometimes self performed surgery. Yeah. Can you imagine mutilating 152 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: yourself now to just try to get rid of this flaw, 153 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: because you know, a love handle isn't is much worse 154 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: than a gaping wound where like this missing missing hunkle 155 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: flesh used to be. Yeah, I think alcohol might be involved, 156 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: you know, I could see someone just getting completely ripped 157 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,319 Speaker 1: and you're like I gotta get rid of you to 158 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: get out of the kitchen knife and gone. That was 159 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 1: really that was chilling, And actually we're making a lot 160 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: of that that that does happen and people do reach 161 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: those steps, so that that's an awful thing to make 162 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 1: fun of, sure, which you just did. I was just 163 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: trying to reenact what it might be like, Yeah, well, Chuck, 164 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: thank you for that. It's actually what happened to me 165 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: last Friday. And is it when you carve off just 166 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 1: a little bit of a love handle and then I 167 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: was like, oh, I thought you looked like you'd lost 168 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,239 Speaker 1: some weight. Yeah, just a hand of a love handles 169 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: very painful. So let's talk about what b d D is. 170 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: You know, we're not entirely certain how a person gets 171 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: this or you know, we know how it, uh it 172 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,439 Speaker 1: manifests itself, but we're not entirely certain what's going on. 173 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 1: Because if you think about it, it's kind of bizarre 174 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 1: that you don't see yourself the way other people do 175 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: when you know you're looking at your reflection in a mirror. Right. 176 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people have that to a 177 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: certain degree, because I mean, how many people when they 178 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: see a photo of themselves say, God, do I look 179 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: like that? Minds always do I sound like that? Really? 180 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 1: You got a great voice, though, thank you. Uh. They've 181 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: done some research as far as the biological causes. Let's 182 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 1: go ahead and start with the biological said, okay. And 183 00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: some researchers showed twenty five people, um half of which 184 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: so I guess twelve and a half people I've noticed 185 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: that had b d D and the they're have did not. 186 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: And they would show them three different images of faces 187 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: and different resolutions high, regular and low, large, medium, and small, 188 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: all right, And they hooked them up to an m 189 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: r I and they showed that the b d DE 190 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: folks use the left side of their brain, which is 191 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: the analytical side, indeed, to process all of the images, 192 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: and the other participants use the left hemisphere only for 193 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: the high res images. So that means, Josh, is that 194 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 1: or what it could mean is that the minds, the 195 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: brains of people with b d D want to acutely 196 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: process visual details. Even when there are no visual details, 197 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: they're always looking for. That. That's one explanation. It's reasonable. 198 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: Moving on, I've got one better for you. Hit me. 199 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: It's much more likely, in my opinion, that it is 200 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: an imbalance in the brain chemistry, specifically with the uptake 201 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: of serotonin. All right, let's hear it, all right, So 202 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: serotonins and neurotransmitter, right, and it's produced in the brain. 203 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: Um actually can be produced anywhere in the body. But 204 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: the stuff that affects your mood and sleep and things 205 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: like that, it's actually produced in the brain by trip 206 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,839 Speaker 1: to fan. A trip to fan, as you know, is 207 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: from you know, you can find it in Turkey. It's 208 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 1: an amino acid. Everyone says it makes you go to 209 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: sleep supposedly. Actually ironically, tripp to fan works best on 210 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 1: an empty stomach. And when you eat a bunch of 211 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: stuff at Thanksgiving cover and I think we did too 212 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: solds of stuff there. Well, basically gorge yourself and right, 213 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 1: you're actually digesting that's just making you sleepy. But tripp 214 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,719 Speaker 1: to Fan is uh is uncommon in that it's one 215 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: of the few amino acids that can cross the blood 216 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: brain barrier. So you eat some trip to fan, it 217 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,839 Speaker 1: gets separated from your turkey and crosses the blood stream 218 00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: into the brain, where it's used as an essential ingredient 219 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: in serotonin production. Right, in a paddle book. Yeah, what 220 00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 1: I understand. Yeah, with the giant frog. And so once 221 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: the trip to fan gets the brain, YadA, YadA, YadA. 222 00:11:55,960 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: You got serotonin, right? Did you like that explanation? Very scientific? 223 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 1: Serotonin is trans It's a neurotransmitter. So it goes from 224 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: the pre synaptic neuron, which is the one where it's produced, 225 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: to the post synaptic neuron where it's accepted. But it 226 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: loses a little love on the way. It does not 227 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: all of its um taken in by the post synaptic 228 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: neuron um, and it's just kind of floating there in 229 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,959 Speaker 1: the synaptic cleft, the space between neurons where these electrochemical 230 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: messages are firing between um and actually that can be good. 231 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 1: If if it accumulates too much, then that's not too 232 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 1: good because you've got basically a blockage and you have 233 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: enzymes that actually clear out the serotonin. But you if 234 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: it lingers a little longer um, the the communication is stronger. Right. 235 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:51,119 Speaker 1: What ss R eyes are serotonin? I'm sorry, Selective serotonin 236 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,839 Speaker 1: reuptake inhibitors do? They actually prevent some of the serotonin 237 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 1: from being taken back by the pre synaptic neuron. So 238 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: we're talking to pro right these things. Yeah, what they 239 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: do is they they allow some of the serotonin to linger, 240 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: which makes for a stronger message, which improves mood. Actually, 241 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: it's stabilizes mood. What we're seeking is a stable mood 242 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 1: rather than ups and downs. That makes sense to me, 243 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: does it really? Holy cow? Well, I mean, not only 244 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 1: did you do a fine job of of laying that 245 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,480 Speaker 1: out there, but I think anytime you're dealing with something 246 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: like this, Sure there's certain other explanations, but the brain, dude, 247 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,319 Speaker 1: that's where it's at. I agree. The brain is the thing. 248 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,319 Speaker 1: So the reason why they think that this is, uh, 249 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 1: this is that b d D is a chemical imbalanced. 250 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: So the result of chemical imbalance is because b d 251 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 1: D patients respond very well to UM selective serotonin reuptake 252 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 1: inhibitors like zoo OFFT and stuff like that paxel uh 253 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: so so selects all loss prozac, you know, all those antidepressants, 254 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: all that good stuff. Um, cultural factors? Should we talk 255 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: about that? Are we done with biology? Those are the 256 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: only two theories that I know, Um, the are going 257 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: on right now? Biologically? Okay, Well, let's move over to 258 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: the to the cultural and physiological side of things. Which 259 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,319 Speaker 1: um this one. You know, of course, the media and 260 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,839 Speaker 1: magazine it does. Media is too lazy to really do 261 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: anything that's actively bad in my opinion. Yeah, that's true. 262 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: I think it's all the results of just an an 263 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: ability to do real research. Yeah. True, that's pretty lazy 264 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: to blame it on the media, But we'll do that 265 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: right now. The media, of course, with all the perfect 266 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 1: bodies and the perfect faces. That certainly doesn't help. I 267 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: don't think it can cause this, but I don't think 268 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: it helps the situation. If you were born with like 269 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: a mile case of b d D, you uh, seeing 270 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: you know, Gizel on the cover of a magazine probably 271 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: make you feel any better about the hairy mole on 272 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: your lip. Probably not, although if you see a picture 273 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: of Cindy Crawford you probably feel pretty good about the 274 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Harry mole on your lip. That's a beauty mark, buddy, 275 00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 1: same thing. It all depends on what face it's It's exactly. Yeah. 276 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: I always thought that was pretty funny because that on 277 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,200 Speaker 1: my face would be a male or worse. Yeah, they're 278 00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 1: talking Sidney Crawford. Not too bad. It would command you 279 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 1: to burn things, is that Simpsons? Yea? Was it? Yeah, 280 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: Ralph's lepre Coron commands him to burn things. I thought 281 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 1: you meant the talking mall part. So uh yeah, those 282 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 1: are the societo cultural theories, and um, this is the 283 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: one that they documented as far back as the eighteen hundreds. 284 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: So that's so funny. You just referenced another podcast. I know, 285 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: I'm all over the place. Yeah, but which kind of 286 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: undermines the idea that it's media sensationalism because it was 287 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 1: before media. Well, yeah, pretty much. I mean, would you 288 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: have like this the Saturday Evening Post in there, right, 289 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: they showed a little ankle and all of a sudden, 290 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, women are like, my ankles don't look like that, right, 291 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: Norman Rockwell is disturbing millions of people. And I think 292 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: also this would be a good point to say that 293 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: this does not just affect women, It affects men as well. 294 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, sure, but in a very sexist way. Men 295 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: have their own version of it, muscular body dysmorphia, right, 296 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: which is the need to be buff and muscular, which 297 00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: I clearly could care less about the same here, Oh yeah, 298 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: same here. But it doesn't it's not just related to 299 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 1: the muscles um or the lack of muscle. It's also 300 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: related to thinning hair genitalially speaking, it has something to 301 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: do with that. Do you ever see that one kids 302 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: in the hall with Mr cabbage Head, You remember him 303 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: where he was trying to pick some woman up and 304 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 1: he was like, it's not a cucumber, it's a gherkin exactly. Yeah, 305 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: he probably would have had a muscular body dysmorphia disorder probably, 306 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: So sure there also maybe some childhood traumas that could 307 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 1: kick start this whole thing, like being beaten about the 308 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: head and neck. Yeah, and that makes sense and teasing 309 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: like you were talking about. They did a study. They 310 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: found seventy percent of the participants reported maltreatment during their 311 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: their childhood. The study of people with b d D. Yeah, 312 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: but the study did and say whether they didn't ask 313 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 1: whether the mal treatment happened before after the onset would 314 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: be slightly dodgy statistic. But they also found that said 315 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 1: the mal treatment was severe. Al right, So that kind 316 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: of makes sense at all. I think it could be 317 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: a soup of all these things. You may be born 318 00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: with a little bit of it. Society chimes in with 319 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,760 Speaker 1: making you feel worse about yourself. You maybe your parents did, 320 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 1: schoolmates that kind of thing, right, But and I'm saying 321 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: this is a former fact. Kid, Eventually you have to 322 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: get to a point where you can't let other people 323 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,000 Speaker 1: define you, you know what I'm saying. Eventually you have 324 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: to stand on your own two feet and just say, yeah, 325 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 1: I was a fat kid when I was little, and 326 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: yeah I had some jerks poked me in the stomach. 327 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: Who cares say it, they're they're all digging ditches right now, 328 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:45,679 Speaker 1: do some therapy and look at you. But he I 329 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: just did. I was a late bedwinter. Oh my god, Chuck, 330 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: were you really? Holy cow? All right, let's see if 331 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: I can want up you. Um no, do it? No, 332 00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: you got something worse in late bedwinter, know, and you 333 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: know for those you've got out there, they're late bedwetters. 334 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,959 Speaker 1: It's okay, and it will stop at some point eventually. 335 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 1: Or you could just stop drinking and still waiting on 336 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 1: that day. So, Chuck, you have any more revelations? Um? Well, 337 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: it affects supposedly about one of the general population, which no, sorry, 338 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: the the b D D and so. But they think 339 00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: that might be kind of low because of the lack 340 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: of diag diagnosis and stuff like that. Well, how do 341 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: we treat this, Chuck, I would already sayd S SR 342 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: eyes SSR eyes is one. And then you have the 343 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: old CBT cognitive behavioral therapy, Yes, which was developed in 344 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: the fifties. It's psychotherapy where you uh, it's got different approaches. 345 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 1: You focus on the concept that your thoughts are the 346 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: root of the behavior and the feelings as opposed to 347 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,680 Speaker 1: like outside influences. So sort of tackling from the inside out. Um, 348 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 1: not eating and smoking cigarettes helps a lot too, as 349 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: I understand it. Right. So in closing, are we closing? Yeahs. 350 00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 1: In closing, I would say, just from someone who has 351 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 1: had issues with weight here and there and j and 352 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: bed wedding is you know, no one's perfect. It's you're 353 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,160 Speaker 1: gonna live a long life full of let's hope, and 354 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: you're gonna have issues with yourself here and there, get 355 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,080 Speaker 1: over it and it's not that big of a deal. 356 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 1: Everyone has their flaws and so just except except your own. Yes, 357 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: that's my advice. Beautiful Chuck, beautiful beautiful words from a beautiful, 358 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: beautiful man inside and out right. Surround yourself with people 359 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 1: who support you, you know, and and the jerks out 360 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: there that are calling your names and stuff. They don't 361 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,639 Speaker 1: know what they're talking about, you know. Yeah, we should 362 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: probably especially target this to our younger listeners to It 363 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 1: ends eventually, but it ends when you allow it to. 364 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: And you know what, I guarantee you and I can 365 00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: say this is an older guy. Those same jerks who 366 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: are teasing you and poking and prodding you, like Josh said, 367 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,000 Speaker 1: they're probably losers and they will go on and their 368 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,200 Speaker 1: true colors will come out later, agreed, and they will 369 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 1: be losers for life. All right. So that's body this 370 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: morphic disorder if you uh. Actually, this is a fine 371 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: fine article written by Jessica Toothman. I thought it was 372 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 1: excellent tooth the tooth Um and Uh. In it, she 373 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: says that if you think or suspect you might have 374 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 1: body dysmorphic disorder, you should go to seek help from 375 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: a therapist, absolutely, even if it just seems mild, because 376 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,840 Speaker 1: oftentimes it's a lot worse than you think it is. Yeah, 377 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:26,280 Speaker 1: and you don't want to get out of hand. Yeah. 378 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 1: So yeah, that's bodied of dysmorphic disorders I just said, 379 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 1: which means that it is time for listener mail. Maybe 380 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: why not, Josh, I'm gonna call this corrections and suggestion, 381 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: because there's one suggestion in two corrections. I'm gonna go 382 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 1: to these kind of quick. This comes from Julie. She 383 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 1: says a geologic nitpick from the CCS podcast, the pronunciation 384 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: of I believe we said but salt, I said belt, 385 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: you said basalt, and she says it's actually pronounced assault 386 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: with the influence on or the emphasis on salt with salt. Right. 387 00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: That comes from Julie. Our friendly neighborhood pedantic geologists is 388 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: how she builds herself. So thanks for that, Julie. Thanks. 389 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: This comes from Peter and this is about Tesla and uh, 390 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 1: the band or the guy, Yeah, Nicola Teslade and he 391 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: said that, um, and we've gotten this email from a 392 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 1: few folks that we were knocking DC power d C. 393 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: It's actually got lots of great applications and we didn't 394 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 1: highlight those. We might do that later. Is there a 395 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: camp of people who are fans of DC electricity? Yeah, 396 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: you stated a couple of times that DC is a 397 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,199 Speaker 1: poor transmitter of electricity across long distances. Actually, a lot 398 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: of talk is going on now in the energy business 399 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: about the possibility of using high voltage DC or direct 400 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: current to transmit electricity across long distances high voltages. Direct 401 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: current experiences much lower line losses than a c That 402 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 1: is not what I understand, he said. They're looking into 403 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: a buddy. You want to take Peter to task? No, no, okay, 404 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: that means you don't want to email him back. And 405 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: then this final one is from Andrew in Nashua, New 406 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,280 Speaker 1: Hampshire or Nashua unless I was pronounced. He says he 407 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 1: has an addendum to our innovations podcast and he thinks 408 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,360 Speaker 1: a really cool one would be wireless electricity and don't 409 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: say battery, And he said, don't say battery. He said 410 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 1: that sustained sustained energy with wireless would be really cool. 411 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 1: So when you take out your vacuum cleaner, you just 412 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: use it around your house via wireless power, no cords 413 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 1: to trip over, having to move from outlet to outlet. 414 00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 1: And you could have an infomercial with a woman in 415 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: black and white whose hair is all frazzled over a 416 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: vacuum cord and then looking into the camera with a 417 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,760 Speaker 1: frustrated look, she blows the unkeimpt hair out of her face. Wow. 418 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: Then show her in full color, smiling from ear to 419 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,080 Speaker 1: ear as she wirelessly vacuums and I think that is 420 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 1: a very sexist infomercial. Buddy. Yeah, I think you should 421 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: be a guy. This guy's really really tough this out though. Yeah, 422 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,879 Speaker 1: that'd be cool. Yeah, I'm not sure how practical. It 423 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: seems dangerous if you ask me, because you'd have to 424 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 1: beam that electricity somehow. That's a good point, Chuck, So whatever, 425 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: but thank you. You should close et me listen to me. Yeah, whatever, whatever, 426 00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,359 Speaker 1: But we want to thank Andrew and New Hampshire for 427 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 1: sending that sounds like a pretty groovy idea.
