Speaker 1: Just just to help you, just to help you do

73

00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: University of Southern California. You have a massive, massive resume here,

81
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,800

83
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: coach for the l A Kings when I played here

84
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: in town. Yes, I was. Yeah, so we we if

85
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: we're like our listeners to eight and drank probably everything

86
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: over the holidays, we love for some tips in the

87
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: start of the new year to get our diet and

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: nutrition back in line. Where do we start if we're

89
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: just we just gorge over the holidays, where do we

90
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,159
Speaker 1: even start for this one? Well, that's a great question.

91
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I definitely think everybody, It feels like most

92
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: people that I've talked to you to everybody has this

93
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: goal for the newal of like how do I know,

94
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: restructure my life and just cut myself into a better

95
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: routine and have it. And I always tell people that

96
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: the best thing you can do for yourself is to track,

97
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: not even on my Fitness Pal or any of those

98
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: apps with calories, because I think that can lead to

99
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: just obsessive behaviors, but just even just start like writing

100
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,039
Speaker 1: down what you eat and what time, everything that goes

101
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: in your mouth, because I think people are so busy

102
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: that would end up happening is that they hardly eat

103
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 1: during the day and then they come home and they're

104
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 1: exhausted and they just eat a bunch of stuff at night,

105
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: and then they start the cycle all over where they

106
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: hardly eat in the morning it sort of continues, or

107
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: they're snacking on things that they're not even aware of

108
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: because they're so busy and they're hungry, and then a

109
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: coworker brings and donuts or whatever, and you end up,

110
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: you know, falling into that type of habits. So the

111
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: first thing I think would be to keep a food

112
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: bog of what you eat in the times and begin

113
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 1: to see your patterns like either you are not eating

114
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 1: enough protein and so you're over eating on carbohydrates and sugars,

115
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: or you have that you know, three o'clock slum in

116
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 1: the afternoon where all you want is sugar, and that

117
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 1: could be because you didn't eat enough at lunch. So

118
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: you kind of begin to see you just habits and patterns.

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: I think that's all is a great place to start.

120
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: And then it's being realistic with yourself of exercise, and

121
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: that has to be a part of anybody's health and

122
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: fitness goals is to fit that in. And what I

123
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: think is happening because Instagram has blowing up with all

124
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: these wonderful fitness videos and in different ways, finding something

125
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: that really resonates with you instead of trying to do

126
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: with what a friend of doing that you don't even

127
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: like to do and you actually hate the whole time

128
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: you're doing it. So it's finding something that you really

129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: enjoy doing and that could be a video or could

130
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: be trying a different class. Um. So those two things

131
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: of the food blog and then finding something that you

132
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 1: can commit to that you enjoy. In terms of moving

133
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: your body, let's say say, oh no, you go. You're

134
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 1: already logging. Over logging, Christie logging Now. They say that

135
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: getting the right amount of risks helps your muscle develop.

136
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: If I just sleep all the time, can I get ripped?

137
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: You're going to be shredded, Christie, sleep all day. As

138
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 1: as you were talking, you're on the last time you're

00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,920

143
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: about working out, he looked at me because I have

Speaker 1: He's so dedicated. Can I tell you what ladies worry about?

163
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: What's that? Yes? I need to get me. Something's wrong

164
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: up here on my arms. Something's wrong right here. I'm

165
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: pointing to my belly. But if I get if we

166
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: get too thin in the belly, I'm going to lose

167
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: the one part I like, which are the b o

168
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: o bes you? Yeah, stop reusing Yeah, I mean that idea, right,

169
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 1: I know everybody wants to have this like beautifully sculpted body,

170
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: Like I want to lose it from here, but not here.

171
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: If I could just take this fat from a stomach

172
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: and put it on my chest or like put it

173
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: on my butt, like obviously there's I mean that's why

174
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: I think lifting weights, especially for women, is so important.

175
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: I think there's still this idea of cardio cardio cardio

176
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: when it's I know, but it's I mean, it is

177
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: really about sculpting and toning your body, and unless you

178
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: have some type of resistance training, it's there's that is

179
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: such a huge component. And remember, after the age of thirty,

180
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: you lose a pound of muscle a year, so already

181
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: replacing that you are going to be replacing it with fat,

182
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: and fat doesn't burn any calories. And now you're in

183
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: a like a really a situation where you have to

184
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: figure out what you're eating and how you're eating because

185
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 1: you don't have a lot of room, you know, the

186
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 1: muscle you have, the more calories you burn. Fat makes

187
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: drinking into pool easier though regardless of temperature. The only

188
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: thing again, Brettie Prince Jr. Ever have to show his

189
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: abs in a film. Yeah, I've had to show the washboard.

190
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: I've had to show you not not when you got

191
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: an eight package. So Chris Christie, can you can you

192
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: give our listeners a couple of tips just to get

193
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: him out of the gate to start. Yeah, that's what

194
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you. If you're just getting started right,

195
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 1: like you're just getting started. It's hard to do stuff

196
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: cold turkey, But diet is about ninety And this isn't

197
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: me saying this. I've spoken to a couple of physiologists,

198
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: and I've had personal trainers, and I've heard this repeatedly.

199
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: The diet is responsible for just about of your gains

200
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: and losses, and exercise is going to be the rest

201
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: of that. Now, I've heard different numbers, but it's always high.

202
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 1: What I know a lot of people who just say

203
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: they can't cook, but prep meals seem to be the

204
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: easiest way I've found to do that. Do you believe

205
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: in that? How can you help people? And do you

206
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: think christ is diet. Oh absolutely not. It's exercise because

207
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: those seriously, because there's plenty of people who work out

208
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: all the time and you see them, you're you're like,

209
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: nothing's changing. Like those are the ones that are doing

210
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: all the work, and they'll do like those spend two

211
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 1: hours in the jam. But then if they don't work

212
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: on the nutrition, they're really just it's it's yeah, they're

213
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: not going to see results. So you'll never Christians part

214
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: is huge. Yeah. I always say you'll never outtrain a

215
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: poor it. That's good. You just won't. You just won't.

216
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Even if you train, even if you train as much

217
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: as I train, you'll never out train a poor diet

218
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: because the poor diet will continue and at some point

219
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 1: the training will slack off a little bit. Diet, and

220
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: specifically within diet, portion control is a massive, massive party

221
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: something to help with that. And I don't get any

222
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: money from George Foreman, but those George Foreman grills are

223
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: those little like little grills that fit in anybody's apartment. Freddie,

224
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: I don't have a stove. You got a George Forman grill.

225
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,679
Speaker 1: And also it also helps with portion control because you

226
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: can only fit so much on that bad boy. But

227
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: if you can get a chicken breast and some vegetables

228
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: on there and do that, you know, three or four

229
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: times in one night, and set your meal prep up

230
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: for the week, that can help people a lot with

231
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: making healthier choices. Man, a lot of times it's just choices, right,

232
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: Oh it is. I mean, I think what you said

233
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: about like meal prepping is a huge component to this,

234
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: because the point is that if you don't have the

235
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: healthy foods in the house you begin with, then you

236
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: you of you know, you're gonna start your work week

237
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: and end up just eating out most of the time,

238
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: which is a lot of people's problems. They don't kirk

239
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: at home because they either they don't have the time

240
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,040
Speaker 1: or whatever the situation is. But there's so many simple,

241
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 1: easy things that you can prepare at home that are

242
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: just like you know, badge cook a bunch of like groll,

243
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of chicken or roast, a bunch of vegetables.

244
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: And when you're looking at your plate. For those that

245
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: are trying to really cut back but they were so

246
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 1: used to eating large portions, that's when you have to

247
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 1: have half of your plate being vegetables and then a

248
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: quarter protein and even maybe a little bit less of

249
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: a quarter then of carbohydrates. And eating slowly is also

250
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: something that's incredibly important too, because if you're eating fast,

251
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: then your body hasn't had a chance to kind of

252
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: catch up and tell you that it's had enough. You're hungry,

253
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: so then you go back and eat more. And then lady,

254
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: you're like, why am myself full? Yeah? I gotta tell

255
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: my ten year old daughter this all the time. I'm like,

256
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna make yourself sick, yea, but I'm not full yet.

257
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm like, because you ate a whole plate of food

258
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: in four and a half minutes, can go slow. The

259
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: other thing, one other thing I think people are sometimes

260
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: guilty of is they'll they'll be really they'll be like, oh,

261
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: just they'll under eat. Actually, when we talk about portion control,

262
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: I think some people will under eat, which leads to

263
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: them over eating. So they won't they won't have breakfast,

264
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: or they'll just have something light at breakfast. Then maybe

265
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: they just have like a small salad lunch, but they're

266
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: really now starting to get hungry. They don't have a

267
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 1: mid afternoon like healthy snack bar, and they push that

268
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: off until like five or six o'clock. Then their their

269
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: brain and their body is just going crazy and they'll

270
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: just eat now anything like that. Bill Gates, he's the

271
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: exception of the rule. Bill Gates does not eat breakfast.

272
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: His first meal isn't until one o'clock in the afternoon

273
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: every single day. I have no idea how he does.

274
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: He might he might be intermittent fasting, or he's very

275
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: popular too. Can you touch on that, Christie, intermitte fasting, yeah,

276
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: or just the not eating and then overeating at night.

277
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 1: I mean both, Yeah, let's go both. Let's talk about Yeah.

278
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 1: I mean I think inter fasting is. I mean, look,

279
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of research to back it up. I'm

280
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: one to say, like mostly I would say for the

281
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 1: average person, it's it's not for everybody. Um, And you

282
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: have to just do your research and do it in

283
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 1: a way where you can do smaller windows. You don't

284
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 1: have to do these long hours without eating. But um,

285
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: but I do think there's this over snacking issue some

286
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: people do too, where that intermitte fasting can be very helpful,

287
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, so you you have a shorter window of

288
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: time during the day. But I don't think especially if

289
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 1: somebody is starting out and they want to you know,

290
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: look good and feel good for the new I would say,

291
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,680
Speaker 1: don't do any set don't I would you know, stay

292
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: away from more of the diets and really just look

293
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: at your behaviors and cut back on the amount of

294
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: sugars and excess snacking that people do. Which I think

295
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: that when I see people in my private practice for

296
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,000
Speaker 1: weight loss, and when I start talking to them about

297
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: what they're currently eating, they are just there in the car.

298
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: They're snacking because they maybe bring nuts and now they're

299
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: you know what, what once was like a healthier option

300
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: to bring nuts in your car just in case you

301
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: get hungry, But now they're sitting into hours of traffic

302
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: and that bag of less is gone before they get home.

303
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of that happening. Um. But I

304
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: certainly feel like intermitute fasting can be really, really helpful

305
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 1: for a lot of people. I've seen many people lose

306
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: weight and keep it off by doing that. But it's

307
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: a dedication. They really it's got to work in your

308
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: life because it's you know, very difficult to do. If

309
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: you want to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a

310
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: timely fashion. How do you how do you feel about fat? Fat?

311
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: You know what I mean, like food that has fat.

312
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: You're like no sugar, no carbs or less sugar, less carbs.

313
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: How about fat? I'm actually trying to how do you

314
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: feel about fat? You know what I mean? Like cream

315
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: heavy cream on the meat and that now, So I

316
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: would prefer people to use healthier mono unsaturated fats, like

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: to end extra avocado, go ahead and add an extra

318
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 1: table stone of olive oil to your salad, um and

319
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 1: still and be satiated that way then, um, cutting out

320
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: fat or going for like the heavy fats, like you know,

321
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm just going to smother my salad and branch now

322
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: because I want to because delicious. Here. Hey, so here's

323
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: another question. So I go out, you know for breakfast,

324
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: say right, because I live in hotels and stuff. So um,

325
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: when I say, I order some eggs, right, and I

326
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,959
Speaker 1: asked them, hey, do you mind not using any oil?

327
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Can you just please cook it in butter? How do

328
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: you feel about that? Do I have a death wish? Um?

329
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 1: Not necessarily, because first of all, that's that's one I

330
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: never looked at one thing and it would categorize you

331
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: as like, oh wow, like you're on to you grow

332
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: to destruction because you like your eggs and butter. But yeah,

333
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 1: I was going to say that stuff, but but yeah,

334
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, I don't think the butter

335
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: is necessarily a bad thing. I think there's a lot

336
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: worse um fats out there, to be honest, um, so

337
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,159
Speaker 1: I would which fats do you think are worse? Like

338
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 1: so bad? Please? You're asking like you want to know

339
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: where they are so you could eat them. I'm kind

340
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: of curious why all the hil There's a lot of

341
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: stuff like canola oils that are very hy I mean,

342
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: there's a lot of different like oils and and like

343
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: I was saying, like ranch or um even like heavy creams,

344
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,439
Speaker 1: Like those kinds of things wouldn't be first on my

345
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: list of something you should be having on a legular basis.

346
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: But if you were, like, you know what, this is

347
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,359
Speaker 1: what I really enjoy, like having my eggs cooked in butter.

348
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 1: But then for the rest of the day, I'm very

349
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: you know, mindful of other saturated fats that I put

350
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: in my diet. That's the key. It's when people eliminate

351
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 1: everything and then they're just unhappy and livable. Then they

352
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: start eating other things. So to me, it's like looking

353
00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 1: at your overall diet and be like, if that's what

354
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: you like for your breakfast, as long as the rest

355
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: of the day isn't like pizza and burger and French

356
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:08,719
Speaker 1: fries and other stuff, then you're okay. So canola oils

357
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:12,639
Speaker 1: like the Floyd Mayweather of oils, like it looks like

358
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: it's going to give you something delicious, but at the

359
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: end you're very unsatisfied. And canola oils are genetically modified.

360
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the problem. And then you've

361
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 1: got to be careful too, like if you're you're heating

362
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: certain oils as well, Like you really want to cook

363
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: an avocado oil or coconut oil versus if you're frying

364
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 1: things in olive oil. It's not ideal. Listener, how do

365
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 1: I know you're not invested in the avocado oil industries.

366
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 1: I'm definitely not. I would just kidding, um. But yeah,

367
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: So I think that it's kind of looking at That's

368
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: what I was saying. I think everybody sort of needs

369
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: to take a step back and look at their behaviors

370
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: and point and understand some of the things that they're

371
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: consuming that they really enjoy. Like I have a client

372
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: who loves bagels, and she's like, if I could just

373
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:07,200
Speaker 1: have a bagel for every breakfast, I really not crave

374
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,040
Speaker 1: as many carbs throughout the day. And I've done that.

375
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: She's lost arouny fifteen pounds. But before she was like,

376
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 1: I heard bagels are bad, they make you gain weight.

377
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,639
Speaker 1: That she may carbohydrates or whatever it's for her. My

378
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: wife Jewish, she would have smacked her if she heard

379
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: her say those things about bagels. See, but you've got

380
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: to work with each person. So I think that's why

381
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: it's not a cookie cutter way of developing a healthy lifestyle,

382
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: you know, and cookies can be part of that. Christie,

383
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,159
Speaker 1: I appreciate you coming on. UM, I have one more question,

384
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: just one more, like, just tell our listeners if this

385
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: is good or bad. This is what I uh, real

386
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: simple formula I try and follow. Um. I try and

387
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 1: eat very lean. You're very clean, but I try and

388
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 1: if I'm going to eat any carbs or starches, I'll

389
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: do it before two o'clock because my metabolism will naturally

390
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 1: slow down after two pm. And then in the evening

391
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: I'll do a meat with a steam vegetable, so a

392
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: protein with a steam vegetable carbs earlier in the day

393
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: because your metabolism is higher steam vegetables, leaner meal in

394
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: the evening. So yes, all of that I totally agree

395
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: with completely, unless you're a person who I have people

396
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: who work out at night and then they're like the

397
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: protein and vegetable saying. So it depends on also when

398
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: your workout is. But you're right, carbs are designed for

399
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 1: to the energy right, and as the day goes on

400
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: and work, you know, most people kind of slowed down

401
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: midday to the evening. That's when they should be having

402
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: less carbs forsa. But I have clients who work out

403
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,920
Speaker 1: let's say at seven, like six o'clock or right after work,

404
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,919
Speaker 1: all put in a little bit of carbohydrate, but a

405
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 1: small amount um. But for in general, I would say

406
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: that's a good that's a really good rule. But also

407
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 1: to caveat that making sure that they're not over consuming

408
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: on carbs earlier in the day because I can't have

409
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: them at night, you know what I mean. So I

410
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 1: think it's like a little bit of Philip on my

411
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: keen while lunch because I'm not gonna have any at dinner.

412
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: So it's it's always like making sure that the amount is,

413
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 1: you know, like a fist a fistful for most people.

414
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 1: It depends on that. But if you look at your

415
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: plate and it's covered in quinoa or you have a

416
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: ton of potatoes or rice, it's always a good idea

417
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 1: to cut back on carbs in general and sugar and

418
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 1: that proteins healthy fats and vegetables with the majority. Awesome,

419
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: thank you so much. Chocolate and bowler berries I eat

420
00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:28,560

421
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,720

Speaker 1: a private practice in Beverly Hills. You specialize in treatment

458
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: of couples, relationships, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, eating disorders, you

459
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: name it. Um, where do we even start with somebody

460
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 1: that has anxiety? What's like the the first place you'll

461
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: look at their lives or the first area you're able

462
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: to help. Yeah, I mean, anxiety is a symptom that

463
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: typically comes from pushing away painful, difficult, stressful thoughts and emotion.

464
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: So it usually shows up as a symptom. So I

465
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: always want to know what things are going on in

466
00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: their lives outside of the anxiety symptoms. What's happening professionally,

467
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 1: personally in the relationships, issues that they've had in the past, etcetera,

468
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 1: that are contributing to their tendency to like avoid painful

469
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 1: thoughts and feelings because they usually show up a symptoms

470
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: of anxiety. MM. So if somebody let me impact that

471
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. So if somebody, let's say, somebody goes

472
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: to even eating, eating can be a very unhealthy thing

473
00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: they actually won't have an eating problem. They will have

474
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: some sort of anxiety or an issue or a trauma

475
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: somewhere else in their life that they becomes the result

476
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: of avoiding the pain of this other issue. Is that correct?

477
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: That's right. The eating becomes the symptom, that's right. So

478
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 1: it probably is also true that they then have manifested

479
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: in eating problem, if you will. So it's not that

480
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 1: it can't be true that the eating issues are invasive

481
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: in their life as well. But in order to get

482
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,640
Speaker 1: to kind of the origin of it, yes, almost always,

483
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: really without exception, there's something else going on, and the

484
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: eating or the drinking or the overworking or whatever the

485
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: symptom is is a mechanism of escaped. So how do

486
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: we encourage somebody. My dad when I was, when I

487
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 1: was a child, and just even still as in my

488
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: life now, my dad, hillary Um always encouraged this. He said,

489
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: run towards the fire. And my dad was a principal,

490
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,160
Speaker 1: and he said every day when he got to school,

491
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 1: the first thing, the first three things he did in

492
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: the morning were the three things he least wanted to

493
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 1: do in the course of his day. And so he

494
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 1: he built this monster to run towards the fire, and

495
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: he goes, after I did those three things, Brooks, I

496
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: could get on with the rest of my day, and

497
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: and I wasn't left worrying about Oh at the end

498
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 1: of the day, I now have to conquer the three

499
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,919
Speaker 1: biggest beasts of my day. So he instilled that in

500
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: myself and my brother and my sister, run towards the fire.

501
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,480
Speaker 1: And it's been a phrase that I've leaned on a

502
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 1: lot in the course of my life. Um, But for

503
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 1: our listeners who are maybe scared of that or haven't

504
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: been trained or taught that, how what are the first

505
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: steps we can encourage somebody to move towards a trauma

506
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 1: or an issue or a problem, because that's not a

507
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: fun thing to do. Nobody will really wants to do that.

508
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: I love that that's such that that is such good

509
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 1: psychological advice. It's such a good way of taking care

510
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: of like your brain and your heart is to kind

511
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,880
Speaker 1: of run towards what's hard, and you know, the way

512
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 1: to kind of break that down in the way that

513
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: might feel more digestible for listeners who are just kind

514
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 1: of consemplating this possibility is like finding a safe place,

515
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: a safe way to think about feelings, to think about issues,

516
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 1: to think about inner conflicts, to think about things in

517
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: their lives that aren't working. And so a safe place

518
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 1: might be therapy, a safe place might be a trusted friend.

519
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: A safe place might be meditating. A safe place might

520
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 1: be journaling, you know, finding an outlet that feels possible

521
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 1: to let some of those kind of scary, difficult thoughts

522
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: come up, because when they stay kind of stuffed down

523
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: inside of us, they always create symptoms. And even though

524
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 1: it's scary to kind of look at that stuff closed

525
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: up and feel the pain and the fear and the

526
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: hopelessness or whatever comes with it, it is always the

527
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: first step towards healing. It's always the first step towards

528
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: sort of lifting the haze of anxiety. That's sort of

529
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: what this show is. That's why we started this gaye

530
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 1: for us, uh Dr Hilary. We wanted to do. I'm

531
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: not good naturally at talking about my emotions or my

532
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: feelings or vulnerable disagree. I was not though, That's why

533
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: this this podcast for me. It keeps me honest, and

534
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: it keeps me It's it's training to to use a

535
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: muscle that's not natural for me. So in doing this podcast,

536
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: I've got better at sharing vulnerabilities and insecurities and hopes

537
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: that it encourages other men to do that um or

538
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: other other women too. UM. But how do we trying

539
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: to think where to go with this is, how do

540
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: we encourage other people to accept that discomfort, because even

541
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 1: for me, it's hard, Like for on on the show

542
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 1: here Gap, we challenge each other all the time. We

543
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: need to open up more, we need to be more vulnerable,

544
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: We need to like say more truths, hoping that uncovering

545
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 1: these will help people out there that are really struggling.

546
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: But it's damn hard to move that way. It's but

547
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: I think, and I think part of the reason it

548
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: is tough is because everybody is so afraid to say

549
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: the wrong thing in an effort to express themselves. That

550
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 1: people just keep their mouth shut about a lot of things.

551
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: And so, you know, we're not all politicians. Sometimes you're

552
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: just speaking off the cuff and something may be misinterpreted

553
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 1: as a quote unquote wrong thing to say, but you're

554
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: just you talking through how you feel at the moment.

555
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: You haven't quite formulated how to express it yet. And

556
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: I think that's also a part of why people have

557
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: a hard time beginning the process of discussing certain things

558
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: that are difficult for them is because they're afraid to

559
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 1: say the wrong thing in the process of trying to

560
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: figure out how to say what it is it's on

561
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: their mind. Yeah, I think, I think you're so right.

562
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: There's just that vulnerability to be seen as weak, or

563
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: to say something that someone feels offended by, or to

564
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 1: say something that is politically incorrect, whether it's sort of

565
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 1: in a macro sensor, just in a micro sense, that

566
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:54,440
Speaker 1: context of your life. Yeah, we all understand that. Yeah, right, Ye,

567
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: all of those gears exist. But you know, I think

568
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: perhaps for your listeners, the idea, uh and it sounds

569
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: so cliche, but it's really true. And I love how

570
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,480
Speaker 1: you guys are talking about this, the idea that they're

571
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: really not alone, that everybody, men and women alike, experience

572
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: that fear of being vulnerable, vulnerable, experience, that fear of

573
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: exposing parts of themselves that feel you know, unfinished, not

574
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: short up, afraid, and the idea that like, we're all

575
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: human and all are in this together and all have

576
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: similar experiences, and you know, it's just having this conversation

577
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: with the client recently that for men and women alike,

578
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: there there's there's a strange ability for you know, kind

579
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: of the mind and body to not have great muscle

580
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: memory around this stuff, meaning that most people will report

581
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: when they are open and vulnerable that later they feel

582
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: pretty good about it, but the next time they go

583
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: to do it, they're just as scared. It's hard, and

584
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: it's always hard. And maybe if your listeners sort of

585
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 1: know that, like every one of us men, women, therapists,

586
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: you guys are like, you know, when you're struggling with

587
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: something and you go to be vulnerable, that it's hard

588
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: each time. It's like the human experience, the sorry, but

589
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: the no, go ahead and go ahead. I think it's

590
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 1: served that weird dichotomy between being brave enough to be

591
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: vulnerable and how you know that. It's sort of this

592
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: interesting fine line between the two things, but they are interrelated.

593
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: I often say to my patients, you aren't brave unless

594
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: you're afraid. Do you know what I mean? That's that's

595
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 1: brave or courageous unless it's hard, That's right, It's yeah.

596
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 1: I feel that way. Honestly. When we do this show,

597
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: we walk in the studio and every day when I

598
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: walk in. I'm I'm honestly scared. I'm I'm we're going

599
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: to talk about something. There's something in me that I'm like, Oh,

600
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about that, but I make YouTube, GAV.

601
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: We make a conscious decision when we enter this studio

602
00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 1: that we are going to do the hard work. It

603
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: was our pledge in our very first podcast. We're gonna

604
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: be open and genuine and raw and try and do

605
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 1: hard work on ourselves, hoping, just hoping that somebody out

606
00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: there listening might be inspired by that or see that

607
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 1: it's okay to feel that way, or resonates with it,

608
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: or knows that they're not the only one feeling that way. Um,

609
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: and for anybody listening, it does actually get easier. So

610
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know what this is podcast thirty or what

611
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 1: it is, but the first few were like, WHOA, this

612
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: is tough to open up, and but now it's starting

613
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: to come in and the conversations are more free flowing.

614
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: And as you said, Dr Hillary, it's amazing when you

615
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: express like a a trauma or an insecurity or a

616
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: feeling of concern and you openly express it and it's

617
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: received with no judgment. Quite often, I think we think

618
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: we're going to be judged when we we say something

619
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 1: like that, but actually the people around us are just

620
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: gonna shower us with love and affection and line up

621
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: to help. That's the other thing. We've seen such a

622
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: response from our our listeners, and any time in my

623
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: life when I've reached out to a friend or family

624
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: member or something, they drop everything in line up to help. Yeah. Well,

625
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: I think there's also you know, I think there's there's

626
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 1: there's sort of there's a group intelligence, and there's also

627
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: a group there's certain like a group I Q, but

628
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,399
Speaker 1: there's also a group EQ, you know what I mean.

629
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: And I think that that that's an element to it

630
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: as well, where you put it out there and people

631
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: begin to say, okay. All it does is we have

632
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: to realize also from where we are our platform is

633
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,399
Speaker 1: that when we talk about what we're going through, it's

634
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: simply human humanizes us and it allows other people to

635
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: sort of express themselves too. And so that's the beauty

636
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: of the format, you know, to discuss things that are

637
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:44,560
Speaker 1: on our mind. There is that amazing phenomenon. We're almost

638
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 1: always when we are vulnerable and open up. You're right,

639
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:51,000
Speaker 1: people people come towards us, not move away. And I

640
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: think part of that is that people are inherently good,

641
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: But part of that is because it touches within ourselves.

642
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: We recognize each other. I feel that too. I'm afraid

643
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 1: to I'm vunerable too, and you're so bullied that someone

644
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 1: else and showing that part of themselves that people, I

645
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 1: think UM are are mobilized by it. It's really powerful.

646
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,520
Speaker 1: I have a question for you, Dr hilary Um. What

647
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,760
Speaker 1: area of most people's lives gives them the most anxiety.

648
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 1: Would it be relationship, would it be career, would it

649
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,359
Speaker 1: be finances? What? In your practice? What do you see

650
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 1: most common that people struggle with it gives them the

651
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 1: most anxiety. I would say that the deepest, most soulcial anxiety,

652
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 1: if you will, usually is around relationships. Is around one's

653
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, most primitive relationship, typically the romantic relationship. Sometimes

654
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: other relationships are the most formative, depending on one's life circumstances.

655
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: But I would say those are the ones that tend

656
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: to those type of anxiety. These are the ones that

657
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: tend to break freely, even um the most sturdy of

658
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: coping mechanisms right in it, of course, I see a

659
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:11,359
Speaker 1: lot of anxiety around and professional staff and finances and

660
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 1: all of that. But I think it's for me. It's

661
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 1: people's core, this relationship stuff and all the vulnerability that

662
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,560
Speaker 1: comes up and things that it pulls up from our past,

663
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 1: pains from our past, and business from our past. That

664
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: was my next question is what specifically within a relationship

665
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: gives the most anxiety. Is it insecurities? Is it fears?

666
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: Um like but you said things from our past? Is

667
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:39,479
Speaker 1: that things about us that we're not proud of, things

668
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: we've done, things that were shameful of. You know what

669
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: I often see. I mean, certainly it is in that

670
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,280
Speaker 1: subset what you just mentioned, certainly, But what I most

671
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 1: often see is some version as you were just talking

672
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: about about insecurities, fears of abandoned, the fears of vulnerability,

673
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: that instead of showing up that way, show up in

674
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: another way like anger or shutting down, or infidelity or

675
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,799
Speaker 1: overworking or drinking. Right, you know, things that that negatively

676
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 1: impact the relationship are invasive to the connection of the relationship,

677
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 1: And oftentimes though is But oftentimes, if you dig in

678
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,240
Speaker 1: with the client and relate it back to their early

679
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: childhood years, their dynamics in their family of origin. You

680
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: find pains and wounds and hurts that never really got

681
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: resolved that can get projected onto the current relationship. So if, um,

682
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: if somebody felt like, oh, their their mother never really

683
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: saw them fully as a person, was you know, felt

684
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: sort of abandoning emotionally, that that person can be overly

685
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 1: sensitive to their partner checking out or not attending to them,

686
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:53,720
Speaker 1: for example. So oftentimes we're able to link those things

687
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: and and make some pretty powerful progress as a result.

688
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 1: It's that that's fascinating to me because that's like a puzzle, right,

689
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: that's like a like a it's a deep dive of

690
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: a journey. Seeing this from twelve years ago affects this

691
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 1: decision making process today. And we all have it. We

692
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 1: all carry their past with us and it shows up

693
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,360
Speaker 1: in our present. And and unless we actually do some

694
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 1: of this reflective work and you said it's journaling, you

695
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,439
Speaker 1: said it could be talking to a therapist. Uh, these

696
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: different practices reading, Um, we're going to carry this behavior

697
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 1: with us in the future. And I also believe that

698
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: a behavior doesn't define a person. So if we acted

699
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: a certain way or act a certain way, that's a behavior,

700
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean, that's necessarily who we are, so

701
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: I can I can do something gave to you that

702
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 1: upsets you, and you might still love me as a dude,

703
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: but you're like, I don't like that behavior. That what

704
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 1: you just did there, you know what I mean. So

705
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: for people listening, I don't want them to be defined

706
00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 1: by their past. I don't want their future. Sure if

707
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,520
Speaker 1: they if they have a traumatic past or things that

708
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: they're insecure about, our fears or something, I don't want

709
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: them to carry that into the president or into the future.

710
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: But I do want them to, as my dad used

711
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: to say, run towards the fire, discover what that is,

712
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: lean into that and really own it, wear it and

713
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: say that was a part of me. But I can

714
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: today change the path of my future. I haven't mentioned

715
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: it yet, but I love hearing you quote your dad

716
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,520
Speaker 1: because my dad always used to say something almost identical,

717
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: because I'd say, run to the lion. Oh yeah, he'd

718
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,839
Speaker 1: always run to the line, run towards the line, same

719
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: exact kind of thing, you know it was about. You know,

720
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: he'd say, don't waste your calories trying to get away

721
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: from the problem. Go to the problem. Don't exhaust yourself

722
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 1: trying to get away from it. Go fix it, whatever

723
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: it is, go at it, you know what I mean.

724
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 1: And U said to about the you know, there's such

725
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:04,600
Speaker 1: a beacon of hope in the notion that we are

726
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: not our behavior. And for your listeners, beautiful who are

727
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: considering all of this and feel shame or whatever the

728
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,359
Speaker 1: right word is about some of their behavior, how they

729
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 1: move through the world or through relationships, you know, really

730
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: clinging onto that notion that you are not your havior.

731
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: You know, some of those behaviors may come from these

732
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 1: wounds that we're talking about, and there's there's a chance

733
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,759
Speaker 1: to shift that. There's a chance to change that, to

734
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 1: understand it and make different choices in our future. So

735
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,960
Speaker 1: not feeling like we're stuck in some narrative that we've

736
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 1: internalized about ourselves can be a really you know, hopeful

737
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: notion when someone just feel stuck in anxiety or stuck

738
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: in behaviors, are stuck in a way of being. Yeah,

739
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: And I think I think the self talk you just

740
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: touched on it, like the way we talk to ourselves,

741
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: the way we treat ourselves is as important in that

742
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 1: or more important than the way anybody is going to

743
00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: treat us. Um. And just while we're on this, one

744
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: of my best buddies, UH put this on his instagram yesterday.

745
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: Mike Green put this on his instagram. I am not

746
00:41:06,280 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 1: what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

747
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 1: It's a quote by Carl J. Young. UM, And I

748
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: saw that, I was like, I love this man, I

749
00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: absolutely love it. Um. So it's it sounds so easy that.

750
00:41:18,280 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 1: But you said your dad said run toward the lion.

751
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 1: I say, my dad said run toward the fire. But UM,

752
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: any other tips or tricks? Dr Hillary on how we

753
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,760
Speaker 1: can encourage somebody to move toward the issues or problems

754
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:35,760
Speaker 1: or traumatic areas in their life in order to understand it. UM,

755
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,840
Speaker 1: come to terms with it accepted. I believe acceptance is

756
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 1: part of it, moving on, accepting your your mistakes, accepting

757
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: your behaviors. Accepting that is part of being able to

758
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: move on and let go. But do you have any

759
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,200
Speaker 1: before we let you go? Any more tips and tricks

760
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,600
Speaker 1: to give our listeners. I let's just say this, I mean,

761
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: just kind of really taking in that it is. It

762
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: is an active choice because if we kin kind of

763
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,240
Speaker 1: wait for it to happen to us, you know, moving

764
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 1: towards the fire to use your dad's ideas. We usually

765
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:11,240
Speaker 1: can't get out of our own way. We keep repeating

766
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 1: the patterns that we're used to, right, so if we

767
00:42:13,960 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 1: kind of have a passive approach it, it's hard to

768
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:20,320
Speaker 1: make a shift. So it can feel a bit overwhelming.

769
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: But the idea of like just one active thing, one thing,

770
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 1: one little thing that's different, and picking from any of

771
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: the things that I talked about before, you know, opening

772
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: up to your partner, opening up to a friend in

773
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 1: a way that you typically don't, making an appointment with

774
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 1: a therapist, you know, journaling, even sitting down and meditating

775
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: for two minutes and focusing on your breathing. Just interrupting

776
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: your way of being with some consciousness and mindfulness and

777
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: exploration of emotions if possible, in just the smallest way,

778
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 1: can begin to open the door. So I think it's

779
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: it's like a twofold message. Yes you have to be active,

780
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: but it can also be really small. You can do

781
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: in these tiny little whispers, these tiny little increments, and

782
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: start to build that muscle for it instead of doing

783
00:43:08,200 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: like it has to be um you know, very dramatic

784
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 1: shift from one moment to another to make anything. I

785
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: love that. Also, as I was listening to you talk there,

786
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: I was just thinking about, Um, I'm thinking really about

787
00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 1: a listener out there who's listening to this and has

788
00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: something that they want to bring up, whether to a

789
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,280
Speaker 1: romantic partner, to a friend, to a family member, whatever,

790
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,440
Speaker 1: they have something that they want to bring up. Doing

791
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: so to a person in your life is actually going

792
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: to be an amazing filter for the people in your life.

793
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 1: So if I have something that's vulnerable, insecure, something that

794
00:43:43,040 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: I need, whatever it is that I need to bring

795
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,240
Speaker 1: up to say it's to Gav and he completely rejects

796
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: it or makes fun of it or shuts it down,

797
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: that to me is a great filter on what kind

798
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,680
Speaker 1: of person this is. Or if he leans in and says,

799
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 1: tell me more, how can I help, Like I'm here

800
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: for you. I actually struggle with that as well, Like

801
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: I'm here whatever you need. Like that is an amazing

802
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,319
Speaker 1: filter for the quality of people in your life. So

803
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,720
Speaker 1: I do want to encourage people to have that courage

804
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,320
Speaker 1: to open up, to lead the discussion, to step forward

805
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,280
Speaker 1: and say I want to talk to you. I actually

806
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: have something that I'm really that's really giving me anxiety

807
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,240
Speaker 1: and issues, and I don't want it to be a

808
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: an issue in my life anymore. Can I talk to

809
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 1: about this with you? Can? I trust you? And the

810
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,520
Speaker 1: response from that person you'll find out pretty soon, I

811
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: mean what what the quality of that person is. Absolutely,

812
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: try to give you a lot of information about the

813
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,760
Speaker 1: people in your life. From that standpoint, maybe it feels

814
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: less risky because you may find out, Wow, this person

815
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: is available to me in a way that I didn't

816
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 1: know or or didn't fully accept or embrace. And and

817
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: maybe you find out like, Okay, this kind of stuff

818
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: isn't totally safe with this person, right. I have a

819
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: clinical uh term, it's called that person sucks. That's what

820
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 1: we call it. Um Dr Hilary, Where can people find you?

821
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 1: I love your mission? I just absolutely love it. I'd

822
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 1: love to have you come in studio one day and

823
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:11,440
Speaker 1: talk to us because, UM, I have people in my

824
00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: family who go through and close friends who go through depression,

825
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: UM anxiety, people that are dealing with trauma and grief.

826
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: We all are at some degree of time and it

827
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,839
Speaker 1: comes in ebbs and flows and cycles, and sometimes things

828
00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 1: come up. I'm actually dealing with working through hockey, working

829
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 1: through retiring from hockey. It's something that I want to

830
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,280
Speaker 1: do in and I'm unpacking. I'm currently on a journey

831
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: unpacking the traumas and griefs and resentments and frustrations and

832
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: failures and all of this stuff that I'm carrying from

833
00:45:40,239 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 1: my career in a sport that I don't want to

834
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: carry with me anymore moving into my life. So um,
