HR1 Rush To Reason December 4, 2024 by John Rushhappy Wednesday, Health and Wellness Wednesday. Appreciate you all joining us today. And as we wind down the weeks, as we head into Christmas, health and wellness, even though sometimes people throw that out the window as we head into the holidays, we shouldn’t. We’ll talk a little bit about that with Dr. Julie Gatza here at the bottom of the hour. Got a couple of things that I want to talk about prior to her coming on. First, though, question of the day from yesterday. What modern-day item made
SPEAKER 06 :
This is Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 05 :
You are going to shut your damn yapper and listen for a change because I got you pegged, sweetheart. You want to take the easy way out because you’re scared. And you’re scared because if you try and fail, there’s only you to blame. Let me break this down for you. Life is scary. Get used to it. There are no magical fixes. With your host, John Rush. My advice to you is to do what your parents did. Get a job, sir. You haven’t made everybody equal. You’ve made them the same, and there’s a big difference.
SPEAKER 12 :
Let me tell you why you’re here. You’re here because you know something. What you know you can’t explain, but you feel it. You’ve felt it your entire life, that there’s something wrong with the world. You don’t know what it is, but it’s there. It is this feeling that has brought you to me.
SPEAKER 03 :
Are you crazy? Am I? Or am I so sane that you just blew your mind? It’s Rush to Reason with your host, John Rush. Presented by High Five Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling, where every call ends with a high five.
SPEAKER 07 :
I am Hans. And I am Franz. And we just want to pop your ass.
SPEAKER 06 :
Welcome to Health and Wellness Wednesdays on Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 05 :
Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, sir.
SPEAKER 06 :
I have what doctors call a little bit of a weight problem. I used to grab bear claws as a kid, two at a time, and I’d get them lodged right in this region here.
SPEAKER 05 :
Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t shoot their husbands.
SPEAKER 09 :
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.
SPEAKER 03 :
I’m sorry that I’m fat.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, happy Wednesday, Health and Wellness Wednesday. Appreciate you all joining us today. And as we wind down the weeks, as we head into Christmas, health and wellness, even though sometimes people throw that out the window as we head into the holidays, we shouldn’t. We’ll talk a little bit about that with Dr. Julie Gatza here at the bottom of the hour. Got a couple of things that I want to talk about prior to her coming on. First, though, question of the day from yesterday. What modern-day item made a cameo in the final season of Game of Thrones that would be a Starbucks cup? Which, I don’t know how they did that, Charlie, because that doesn’t really fit with the era of when that was going on. Oh, it was left in the scene by someone. Gotcha. So it wasn’t on purpose. It was an accident. But they just left it. Gotcha. Okay. Today’s impossible question. Charlie might know this one. I would never have guessed this one. Name the Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2022 and its meaning. Name the Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Year for 2022 and its meaning. Charlie said he knows this year’s, but not that one. So I would not have guessed it. I know the answer because I’m reading it, but I would have never guessed it. So I’ll give that answer to you tomorrow, but you can answer that if you know the answer. If you want to take a good guess at it, go to our social media page, Facebook page, and answer that there. I want to make an announcement. I haven’t had a chance to talk about this much, but the Gaylord Polar Ice – that event that’s going on out at the Gaylord Hotel. They’ve sent me some information on that and may end up with a few tickets that we can give away to that. But they brought in more than 2 million pounds, 1,000 tons of ice, for their Polar Express extravaganza, I guess you could call it, this particular year. And from what I understand, it is an absolute little work of art, something folks should go see. I did look today, and you just go to Christmas at GaylordRockies.com, and there’s a lot of – it’s really – it’s advisable to make an appointment, get tickets ahead of time, make an appointment time to actually go. And I was reading today that it’s kept at nine degrees Fahrenheit. They give you jackets to do the tour with because most people don’t have that type of gear when they’re going out that way, even though it’s wintertime here in Colorado. But it’s a really cool display, something worth considering. going to. And again, it’s advisable to get tickets on the front side. And the reason why I was going to announce it today is because there’s a lot of still Cyber Monday sales going on. And this includes the tickets to go out and see that particular display. Now, like I say, May here in the next few days or so, have some tickets we can give away. We’re working on all of that at this point in time. But It’s a 17,000-square-foot frozen attraction. And I know it’s health and wellness, but this is one of those family-type things where if you’ve got little kids, grandkids, you’re just a couple, you’re looking for a date, afternoon, evening, whatever, it would be well worth going to. And they’re very kind in sending things to us and giving us some updates on what’s going on out there and so on. And they do that pretty much every year for us. Appreciate all of them out there and what they’re doing. And the fact that this particular display is as big as it is this year, again, is something that really you all ought to go out and check out. And tickets aren’t that expensive, by the way. I was looking today, and by the time you do some of the cyber deals, they’re very inexpensive in the $15 range. Kids three and under are free. You can roll a stroller through there, but they discourage wagons and things like that for your kids. If you’ve got a young one that you want to put in the stroller or whatever, that’s fine. But, again, this is typically for, gosh, anybody. It doesn’t have to be kids. Kids would love it, of course, but it can be literally anybody to go out and actually see that display, and it is huge. So one other thing I wanted to mention, we’ve had them on as an interview in the past, InstaFarm. it’s the little farm basically you can grow on your countertop it’s all automated you fill it with water and put the trays in and it does the rest and you grow micro greens and i’ve got one of these and it works extremely extremely well It’s fun to even watch things grow, but then actually once they’re grown and you get to actually use them, you know, eat them, I guess I should say the nutrients that come out of the microgreens are huge. And the reason why I was going to mention this today is because today is the last day. They’re 33% off. So just go to instafarm.com. I actually will have a link up in our show notes a little bit later this evening where, again, this might even go through – I think it goes through the 5th. So it will actually go through tomorrow. So if that’s something that you’re interested in doing, by all means, go check that out, and we’ll put a link up. in our show notes for it and it’s a it’s again i have thoroughly enjoyed the insta farm that we have and again you can do all sorts of different trays and different things along those lines and i’ll put up this special 33 off link in if you want to go to that sooner Then tonight, when you can go and actually look at the show notes section of our website, I can text you this link as well. So if it’s something that you would like to have the link to sooner than later, send me a text message and I can get you that link. But 33% off. And if you’ve got little kids, by the way, it’s fun just to watch things grow and see how the thing works and so on. It’s actually very interesting and would teach your kids some things at the same time. So 33% off. It’s instafarm.com is a place to go and check it out. But I’ve got a link to do the actual 33% off with a discount code that gives you another $25 off of that. as well so if you’re looking for that link send me a text message 307-282-22 and i’ll get that out for you all right let’s take a quick break we’ll come back i’m going to talk about sleep and how that affects dementia and Alzheimer’s as well. So we’ll come back and hit that. And then again, Dr. Julie Gatzel will be with us at 3.30. Hi-Fi Plumbing is next. 877-WE-HIGH-5. And don’t forget, they do electrical work as well. And as we head down this holiday stretch, and maybe you’re hanging Christmas lights and doing things along those lines, and you think, hey, I could use some help on the electrical sides of things to make this a little easier, not only now but in the future, give them a call. 877-WE-HIGH-5.
SPEAKER 11 :
The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest plumbing day of the year. Don’t let your home get stopped up. Just call High Five. During the holidays, your plumbing works overtime. Visitors and guests, big meals, we don’t need to tell you. And when your main line gets clogged, your floor and sink drains can back up, causing flooding. And even if it hasn’t gotten to the point of backing up yet, you still have a big problem that gets bigger every day. It’s recommended that you have a plumbing inspection early, and an inspection from High Five can be scheduled as soon as the same day. For a limited time, they’ll give you an additional $35 off a drain cleaning just for being a KLZ listener. So find out more about what High Five Plumbing, Electrical, Heating, and Cooling can do for you this holiday season by clicking their link on the klzradio.com advertisers page.

SPEAKER 04 :
Listen online. KLZRadio.com. Back to Rush to Reason.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. And Health and Wellness Wednesday, thank you so much for joining us today. I appreciate it very much. And as you guys all know, health and wellness is, in my opinion, one of the biggest things that we should be discussing more and more. And to the point that, you know, not to move health and wellness into politics, but it is on the political forefront with the nomination of, you know, RFK Jr. to Health and Human. services we’ll see if he can get confirmed which i would be shocked if he doesn’t and we’ll see who ends up being attorney general and some of those sorts of things as well but it’s it’s you know they’ve even got an acronym for it make america healthy again so it’s becoming a bigger and bigger deal because we’re becoming a nation that’s less healthy and unfortunately There’s not enough, in my opinion, not enough shows or even hours in a show like what we’re doing today that are going on. Yeah, I get it. There’s a lot of different folks that are out there in social media. And there’s you can follow influencers that, you know, go to the gym and tell you how to diet and so on and so forth. But in general, when we talk about just, you know, public service announcements and things along those lines, we really even our kids, we are not teaching people how to live healthy. In fact, we have big pharma teaching people that you can live however you want to and just take this pill. And I’m not exaggerating when I say that. I don’t think I’m too far off in that. Occasionally, you might see a pharma ad talking about health, wellness, exercise, and so on. But that’s not typically the case. Big pharma wants to push their drugs. They’re drug pushers. Sorry, I don’t know how else to say it. They’re drug pushers, drug dealers. Now, are they all bad? No. They’re not all bad. There’s some life-saving drugs that have really helped a lot of us live longer lives, more fulfilled lives, and so on. And I’m not knocking them completely, but lately, last couple of decades probably, they’ve really become more money-driven than patient or person-driven. And I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that. You hear me talk with Dr. Kelly Victory and Steve House on Thursdays about this quite often, and I’ve had other special guests that we’ve had on, and even RFK Jr. will say the same thing I just said. They have become very money-driven and not people-driven to the point that they will put people’s lives at stake, not really caring much about that end of it, all for the almighty dollar. And so when I pick on Big Pharma, yeah, I mean to. Because in a lot of cases, they are not doing it the right way. And we do have an unhealthy population. And there’s no reason why in the world that we live in that we have that. We should all be a lot more healthy than what we are. And it means having… Proper education, eating the right things, getting the right movement in, exercise, things along those lines, the proper habits. In a lot of cases, it comes down to education, which we do a great job, I think, at Crawford Broadcasting on educating folks on the political aspects of things. We do that on a daily basis. I take an hour out each week and we talk about the health and wellness end of it. And reality is it’s costing all of us, each of us. Whether it’s directly out of your paycheck paying for something you need, medically speaking, or in your tax dollars, it’s costing all of us money to not be healthy. So we really probably should talk about it more than we actually do. And I’ll pick on the church for just one moment. The church should have been a leader in this area decades ago. Instead, we gave that duty over to the other side. And I mean that sincerely. You know, we now have, and I’ve talked about this in the past, we now have yoga classes, which yoga is a cult. We’ve got yoga classes that have taken over and in some cases probably being held inside of churches. Because once again, the church allowed others to do what it should have done in the first place. And keeping people healthy should have been one of the first things in the minds of those that were inside of churches years and years ago. But church did it the opposite. We had coffee and donuts for Sunday morning service. We did potlucks where everybody brought everything under the sun and most of it wasn’t healthy in the first place. And Charlie’s in here agreeing with me because he knows exactly how he grew up because I know how I grew up. And the reality is nobody thought about any of that stuff. In fact, probably in the church kind of poo-pooed it. We sort of looked at those that were the health nuts, quote-unquote, as the anti-church folk. And so we sort of threw the baby out with the bathwater and took the whole health and wellness thing and sort of threw it away, if you would, and thought, well, you know, we’ve got the Lord on our side, so it really doesn’t matter. Well, that is not the way to look at it, not in any way, shape, or form. But I’m not joking. That’s what we did. And I know because I’ve grown up in that. And we literally did that. We should have been at the forefront of this, but we weren’t. So we have a lot of ground to make up for. I feel as conservatives even, we have a lot of ground to make up for. And teaching people how to live a healthy life and a more productive life and a more sane life. And as we talk about on Wednesdays all the time, the better our health is, the better our mental health and everything else that goes along with it is. In other words, the better we feel, the better life is in general. And so, yeah, it’s very important for me to do this during this hour. Speaking of… A nighttime habit, this is in women’s health, a nighttime habit or this nighttime habit could be a key indicator of dementia. Neurologists explain the warning signs. And really, this entire article is talking about good sleep and how crucial it is for our overall health. Now, how does a guy like Donald Trump, who lives on literally four and five hours, get by? I’ve done… an hour, well, probably not an hour, but I’ve done a segment or two on that in the past during this hour, talking about how there are some specific individuals, the outliers, I guess you could call them, that can go on less sleep, and it has to do just with literally their DNA and how they’re made. Not everybody can do that. But yes, some can. And you know, example in my own world. I can live on six and seven hours, no problem. I can’t do four like Donald Trump does. I need a little bit more than that. But I can live on six and seven without too much issue. Rare that I even get eight. I just I don’t normally sleep that long. And it’s not because I don’t want to. In a lot of cases, I’m just you can ask my wife. I’m just up. I sleep the six or seven hours. And when I wake up, I wake up. And I’ve told you guys for years, I don’t use an alarm clock. I’m very unique that way, even if I know that I’ve got an early morning, whatever. plane to catch or meeting or whatever it happens to be. I don’t need an alarm clock. I just wake up. It’s the weirdest thing ever. But I may set one, but I never use it. I will always be up before the alarm goes off. It’s just the way my brain functions. So I will tell you in our world, my wife and I, she’s one that needs more sleep than I do to function properly. So all of us are different. So you need to, number one, know what is that sweet spot of sleep for you. And don’t let anybody criticize you if you’re somebody that needs eight to nine hours versus somebody that needs six. Some people just naturally need more sleep than others. So those of us that need less, don’t be critical of those that need more. Because a lot of the sleep patterns and what goes on and so on, and I’ve talked about this before with brain health, has a lot to do with that. And other health things in our life as well, but especially brain health, which of course is where we start talking about dementia and Alzheimer’s. So getting a good night’s sleep is really, really key in setting patterns along those lines as well. I mean, there’s been studies, my wife and I were talking about this over the weekend, Folks that work graveyard shifts, it’s very well known that typically they don’t do as well health-wise. I know there’s some exceptions to every rule, but typically speaking, they don’t do as well. Because our natural rhythm is to sleep when it’s dark and be up when it’s light. That’s how God made us. And those people, and there are a lot of them out there that have to work nights, and I understand that, whether you’re in, you know, whatever, whatever the job might be. You could be a policeman, security, fire, nurses, doctors, on down the line we go. Factory workers and so on. Sometimes they’ll run 24-hour shifts and they have to work at night, and I understand that. My point, though, is typically speaking, it’s not good for you and your overall health, especially your brain health. So these… inadequate sleep patterns and things that happen are not good for us on down the road. And yes, you can get by with it for a while and you might be able to motor through and push through and in a lot of cases even drug yourself. And what I mean by that is caffeine and energy drinks and things like that may go ahead and motor you through some of this stuff. But at the end of the day, it does affect your aging down the road and for certain individuals can even quicken the onset of dementia and alzheimer’s now you may already be you have some of the markers for that anyways meaning that if you do you probably should even be more aware of this than others but i think just in general having good sleep having good sleep patterns and it’s different for everyone As I just gave you an example of my wife and I, we are totally different in this area. I’m that guy that can go to bed at 11 and be up at 5.30 or 6 and have no issues. If I do that too much with my wife, I will wear her out. It’s just everybody’s different when it comes to those sleep patterns. So number one, know your sleep patterns. Don’t let anybody else tell you what you need because you know. And then make sure that you get that. And make sure you get good, solid, you know, full sleep. There’s a paragraph in here, if I can’t get eight hours, would naps help prevent dementia? The answer is it’s not clear. My suggestion is probably not. Because there’s something that happens during sleep, in the REM part of our sleep, where there’s that recharge of the batteries in our brain. I know I’m being very simplistic here, but that’s essentially what’s happening against how we’re made. It’s that recharge, especially during that REM portion of our sleep, that really makes things come back on track and gets us going again. And unfortunately, naps don’t do that. So I’m not an expert in this, but I would venture to guess, and what they’re even talking about in this particular article is no naps probably don’t do much along those lines because of what I just said. You’re not getting into that full, deep REM sleep when it’s all said and done. So really quick, a few tips on better ways to sleep. Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on weekends. I do that, by the way. That’s something I learned a long, long time ago. So I get up at the same time whether it’s Wednesday or Sunday. In other words, I don’t sleep until 9 o’clock on Sundays. I’m up at the same time, which for me, that’s anywhere between 5.30 and 6.30 is typically when I’m up. It just depends on what I have going on during the day, and that’s typically when I’m up and I get going. So I’ll do the same thing. Well, I have to be here on Saturdays, so I’m doing it Saturdays anyways, but I’ll do that even on Sundays. So go to bed, wake up, same time every day. Try to exercise, but not close to bedtime because there’s a stimulant there with exercise, as you know. Get natural sunlight for at least 30 minutes a day. As I said earlier, avoid the nicotine and caffeine. Don’t take naps in the mid-afternoon because that can affect your sleep later. Avoid alcohol and large meals before bed. Limit the electronics, the blue screen before bed. Keep your room cool and free of sound and light distractions. Now, some people like the white noise and different things along those lines, and it may help you sleep better. Again, everybody’s different. Do what works best for you. If you can’t fall asleep after 20 minutes, get up and go do a relaxing activity until you feel tired again. So read a book, whatever you decide what works for you as far as what helps you fall asleep. And again, for everybody, that’s different. Don’t just look at what somebody else does and say, yeah, I got to go do that. No, you find what works for you and then you do you. I can’t stress that enough in all this health and wellness hour. It’s not one size fits all. You do have to find the things that work for you, whether it’s diet, whether it’s certain kind of exercise. Some people do better with high cardio. Others do better lifting weights. It depends on you, and you have to do what’s best for you and find what that is and don’t go off of whatever the fad is that’s going on at that particular time. All right, we’ll take a break. Dr. Julie will come back here with us in a moment. Golden Eagle Financial is coming up next. Al Smith, you heard Al a little bit ago, by the way.

SPEAKER 02 :
All right, we are back. Rush to Reason, Denver’s Afternoon Rush, KLZ 560. It is our Health and Wellness Wednesday edition. And, yeah, the whole sleep thing, again, I’m by no means an expert in any of these things. I interview a lot of different people, and I’ve talked about a lot of these things over the years. And, again, as I said a moment ago before going to break, the one thing that I do know is while there are some universal things, and we’ll talk about some of that with Dr. Julie, there’s also a lot of specific things that I think a lot of people get hung up on, and they don’t tailor things specifically to who they are. But Dr. Julie joining us now. Dr. Julie Gatza, how are you?
SPEAKER 13 :
I’m good, thank you. Nice to hear your voice.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, always nice to talk to you. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER 13 :
We did. Thank you.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right. So let’s talk about, because it’s holidays, whether you’ve been through Thanksgiving, there’ll be holiday parties, there’ll be get-togethers. Christmas is not that far away. New Year’s is a big day for eating. The reality is this is like an eating frenzy for like 35 to 40 days.
SPEAKER 13 :
It really is. You better be strategic when you do it as well.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, so talk to us about that. I was mentioning a moment ago before you came on about sleep and the sleep patterns and the relation between lack of sleep and sometimes the early onset of dementia and Alzheimer’s. We’re getting more and more studies along those lines, which sometimes, by the way, when it comes to sleep, because we haven’t been methodical about what we eat and when we eat, it affects our sleep.
SPEAKER 13 :
It really does. I mean, basically your digestion affects everything about your health. And so for the last 34 years, I’ve been focusing on digestion because once I correct somebody’s digestion, you can pretty much tackle all their health problems that they’re complaining about. So these eating holidays, the end of the year is always rough on us. So we want to do the best that we can. So we’re able to pick the right foods, digest those foods and absorb the nutrition so that we’re actually getting nutrition rather than it’s just going through our bodies and using up our nutrients to try to break down unbroken down food. So the best thing that somebody can do is, one, stay hydrated. I know we’re drinking lots of libations and all sorts of other things that come across, you know, alcohol included. And if you are going to drink the alcohol, have a drink, have a water, have a drink, have a water. Throughout the day, make sure you wake up in the morning, have two glasses of water. It’s such a day. It feed your cells what they need and your system sort of just will thank you before you even do your coffee.
SPEAKER 02 :
When you talk about certain foods, by the way, being harder to digest, what are those?
SPEAKER 13 :
I mean, things that are hard to digest are carbohydrates, sugar, you know, mixed foods where you’re eating a lot of different things at the same time. You really just want to try to keep it clean. You want to eat the protein, whether that’s you know, the steak or the turkey or the ham or whatever it may be, eat your protein first and sort of keep it away from everything else. Let your body just recognize what it is, break it down, get the most that it can from the most complicated of the foods and the ones we need the most. And anything after that, you’re going to win the game. So vegetables would be next. And then you’re going to be full enough that you don’t have to fill up on the carbohydrates.
SPEAKER 02 :
So at that point, you’re like, okay, that dessert, yeah, well, I thought I was going to have some earlier. I’ve had enough other. I can push that away.
SPEAKER 13 :
You can push it away or you’ll eat less of it or, you know, put a napkin over it if you’re with the crowd and eat it later so you’re not putting everything in at the same time and feeling so rushed to have to consume it all in a short period.
SPEAKER 02 :
You know, a great invention, just as a side note, that somebody could come up with would be like pocket, how should I say this, like foldable doggy bags to where when you’re at that meal and you’ve got that nice dessert, but you might want to eat it later or even the next couple of days, it’d be nice to be able to just sort of slip that into something and hide it away and take it with you.
SPEAKER 13 :
Those are called cargo pants.
SPEAKER 02 :
Ah, there we go. There we go. You know what? I kind of mean that seriously, Dr. Julie, because it’s like, you know, it’s a really good dessert. You don’t want to miss it. Maybe you want to share it with somebody else a little bit later. Instead of eating all of it, you’ll eat a portion of it, but you still want to be able to enjoy it. But you don’t want to do it right then and there because of everything we’re talking about.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I agree. And, you know, I’m that type of a person. I don’t really care so much about dessert right after a meal, but I would love to have it on its own some other time in the future.
SPEAKER 02 :
Okay, so in other words, like you said earlier, be strategic and plan ahead for some of these things.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s right. And, you know, one of the things that I’ve pushed so hard as a doctor to my patients, and whether you’re healthy and you’re eating well or you’re, you know, making poor choices this holiday season or generally you don’t eat well, One of the major things that I really push on my patients is to consume high quality digestive enzymes. What they’ll do is break down your food. They’ll bring the most nutrients that you can from your meal and it will help with your metabolism. It will help you lose weight. It will help you with all the digestive things that you may encounter. The one I like to use is Absorbade because it’s a magical little enzyme that allows you to consume food and get the most you can from each one of the meals that you’re eating.
SPEAKER 02 :
I could very well, as you’ve heard me say before, I could very well be a spokesman for them. In fact, it’s gotten to the point with my wife and I both, Dr. Julie, that we pretty much have them on hand at all times. Just took a quick vacation over Thanksgiving, even took some with us on vacation. Me personally, and I’ve given you this story, but I’ll tell all the listeners. Some of you listening, you might struggle with vacations. bloating when you fly and i know dr julie you and i’ve talked about this in the past and why that happens but for some folks you get all bloated up when you fly i happen to be one of those persons dr julie now i will tell all of you and i’ve done it now on two different trips dr julie take an absorbate as you’re getting on the plane and you won’t have that bloating it’s true it definitely is true and you know if you take it before a meal during a meal after meal it’s
SPEAKER 13 :
It actually doesn’t matter that much. If you have acid reflux, if you have gas, bloating, indigestion, constipation, you take these enzymes and it allows you to break down those foods. Now you actually have a digestive system that’s working first and foremost, most important, and aches and pains and digestive complaints start to slip away. I keep mine out on a bowl on my counter. I have them in my purse, and I just remember to try to take them every time I’m eating any food because it’s better than taking a multivitamin to me, getting more of the nutrition from each meal.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, I’ll give everybody else a little tip that we’ve learned since doing all of this and, again, having you on and just doing more things that you recommend. I will tell you, and I talked about sleep in the last segment, one of the things that my wife and I have started doing, and I know it’s helped us because I can attest to it, take one before bed. Right. Helps with sleep immensely.
SPEAKER 13 :
It does. And the other thing is on an empty stomach, it breaks down inflammation. It breaks down bacteria. It breaks down viruses. It breaks down toxins. Yep. So you can feel sort of junked at night.
SPEAKER 02 :
If you’re a person that wakes up in the morning with a backache, take one before you go to bed. I’m serious.
SPEAKER 13 :
That’s right. Yeah. And I love that you know that.
SPEAKER 02 :
It’s excellent. Folks, all of you listening, they work. Okay. I also know, and we’ll go ahead and squeeze it in right now, Dr. Julie, that there’s always a way for folks to get some samples. There’s a special typically that they can get involved in. How do they do that?
SPEAKER 13 :
Good. You can go onto the website and you can get some free samples or 20% off your first order. And that website is naturesources.com. You can read about the Absorbade and you can also call up the 1-800 phone number, ask for some free samples or 20% off. And that’s 1-800-827-7656.
SPEAKER 02 :
All right, talk to us about foods that are rich in fiber. We hear a lot about fiber, and I think, by the way, in some cases it’s been some misinformation because some of the fiber folks recommend are so full of other sugars and things that it’s probably countering whatever fiber you get. But talk to us about fiber and what we should be doing there.
SPEAKER 13 :
You know, the biggest loaded food with fiber is green vegetables, you know, broccoli and asparagus and spinach, and all these things have fiber in them. People instantly think fiber means they have to have wheat or they have to have corn or they have to have popcorn. And you don’t want to get your fiber in your grains. We don’t make good grains in this country anymore. They’re all changed. They’re all used with Roundup on them. So use the green vegetables as the first thing that you want to consume. And that will help you. Most people are missing the green vegetables in the first place. Of course, you’re going to eat breads and cereals and pastas and pizzas. But, you know, the green vegetables are actually important for digestion as well.
SPEAKER 02 :
We don’t really put together, at least, you know, I do because of talking to folks like you on a pretty routine basis, but a lot of people don’t put together vegetables and fiber.
SPEAKER 13 :
I know. It’s so odd.
SPEAKER 02 :
And part of that, I think, Dr. Julie, is the TV commercials and so on have trained us that it’s got to be one of those grains you just mentioned a moment ago. Otherwise, we’re not getting fiber.
SPEAKER 13 :
I know. I hear it all the time. So, you know, I mean, I have patients, including myself, who eat very little grains. And, you know, I feel better than I’ve ever felt because I don’t eat grains in general.
SPEAKER 02 :
Gotcha. Okay. When it comes to those holiday meals and, you know, we’re trying to do things right and enjoy the company and not be bloated and feel awful and so on. Yeah. How do we know when to cut off? In other words, you know, I want a little bit more of that because it’s so tasty, but I don’t want to overeat. So how do we know when that cutoff is so we don’t get to the point we’ve overeaten?
SPEAKER 13 :
You know, it’s always before you’re full. And I do believe that some Asian countries will actually teach their kids that, that you push away from the table before you’re actually full. And, you know, if you slow down your meal, you’re not consuming so quickly. you do get fuller faster. If you chew your food, I always pick the number 22 times. Uh, it’s just easy to remember. You just slow down the whole process and you know, the whole goal is to appreciate the meal and taste the meal. And I think that we’ve sort of been trained to eat it quickly and consume as much as we can. And you know, the more volume that we have, the more satisfied we’re going to be. And, uh, You kind of have to take a look at what are the Europeans doing. They really do make an event out of the meals. They take a walk after the meals. They’re together, and it’s an event rather than just a scarf and patting your belly on the couch later.
SPEAKER 02 :
Mm-hmm. when it comes to laying out your plate maybe that’s the way i should say this dr julie and this is where i think you can be a little more strategic on okay instead of having three spoonfuls of x let’s just do one and let’s go ahead and do one of the next and the next and so in other words you’re getting this nice variety so you get a chance to taste everything but you’re not overloading on one particular thing that’s right and you know i would say you know a fist full of anything as far as how big your hand is in a fist form
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s probably a normal amount that, you know, would be satisfying if you’re putting three, four, five different things on your plate. And, you know, eight ounces of meat is probably more than most people need unless you’re a big guy. So, you know, just figure out what that might look like and you’ll see. If you want to go for seconds, great, go for seconds. But take your time before you get there.
SPEAKER 02 :
Give us some tips on we’re going to a party. You know there’s going to be a lot of things to indulge in, but you don’t want to be that guy that overeats. You want to enjoy the company. You want to have a good time. How do you handle that? Do we eat something on the way there? Do we have a snack bar on the way? How do we do that to where we’re in check as we arrive?
SPEAKER 13 :
I would say plan an early meal and eat your meal at home. That way you’re full. You’ve eaten foods that you can choose. Then when the hors d’oeuvres come through and all the desserts and all the different things, you don’t feel like you have to run around and, you know, eat everything and feeling lousy and putting weight on each time you go to a party. So, you know, keep your routine, but just eat your meal early and also drink a big glass of water before you get there. Then you’re feeling hydrated. You don’t feel like you’ve got to run over to and, you know, consume two glasses of alcohol quickly because you’re actually thirsty. And then you can chill out and enjoy things without sort of your eyes wandering to the next dessert, the next sugar because you came so low blood sugar.
SPEAKER 02 :
Good point. What about being active? Because that’s one of those things where, yeah, you’re not going to do that during the party, but could we be a little more active prior or after, maybe even the next day?
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, absolutely. I mean, just walking. It’s just such a simple thing to do. And, you know, last Christmas Eve, we had a bunch of friends over and we ended up walking around the block and looking at houses and the lights and You know, everyone felt great after they did it, and it’s such a silly thing to do and so simple to participate in. And you do digest your food. We’re not running. We’re just strolling through. So if you had that ability to do that, grab your spouse, grab your dog, grab your kid, grab yourself, and just go take a nice walk after dinner. Anytime you’re in motion, you’re increasing circulation. You’re draining all the toxins and the lymph from the body. You’re forcing your body to need nutrition, so you’re turning things over because you’re constantly in motion. And you’ll see those people that are in action are generally a bit slimmer. They have more energy. I mean, sumo wrestlers eat food and then go and sleep. And that’s kind of what Americans do to some degree. We eat late, we sit down on the couch, and we’re putting weight on.
SPEAKER 02 :
We do. Unfortunately, as a nation, and I talked about this again in the last segment, even some of the changes we may have coming as a country with RFK Jr. now potentially being our HHS director. I mean, the reality is we now have a movement called Make America Healthy Again. Dr. Julie, I can’t remember a time in my life where I’ve ever heard anybody in America say that.
SPEAKER 13 :
I I’m so astounded at what he’s saying that I feel like he’s parroting what I’ve been telling my patients one by one by one. And you know, everyone is suffering. Everyone is really struggling with the food source in this country. And it thrills me that somebody is actually taking a really good look and making people aware from the, you know, fluoride in our water and all the weird things that they put into foods and then make it available for moms to buy for kids. It’s just, It’s a crime against our children and ourselves.
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, and I said this again. I’ve said this many, many times. I said it again today. It’s costing all of us money, whether it’s directly related to your health or it’s through your tax dollars for those that aren’t healthy. One way or the other, we’re all paying for this.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, absolutely. And, you know, now we have a very drugged society.
SPEAKER 02 :
Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER 13 :
It’s just, you know, it’s been masterminded to some degree, and I’m sorry because we’re all suffering.
SPEAKER 02 :
No, it has been. Again, I said earlier that, unfortunately, and this is one of RFK Jr.’ ‘s biggest complaints, is we now have big pharma that is more concerned about the dollar than the person.
SPEAKER 13 :
Right.
SPEAKER 02 :
And I think I’m very safe in saying that, and I’m sorry that I offend some folks saying that, Dr. Julie, but literally you watch the ads, and all I have to do is watch one ad, and that’s what it tells me.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, I mean, we’re the only country that, one of the only countries that gets to put our pharmaceutical ads on TV.
SPEAKER 02 :
Us in New Zealand, we’re the only two.
SPEAKER 13 :
Oh, weird.
SPEAKER 02 :
I know. That’s weird. Well, which shows you that we’re doing it the wrong way, and we need to make some changes. But again, education is partly what we do here each Wednesday. It’s partly what you do when you come on with us, and I appreciate it. One more time, folks, if you want to check out Absorbate, and I cannot talk highly enough about it, Nature’s Sources, there’s two S’s there, naturesources.com. Get it, use it daily. Dr. Julie, I can tell you that in our life, it’s now a daily thing that we do, and sometimes more than once a day, depending upon what we’re doing and eating and the activity level and all of that. But the product works.
SPEAKER 13 :
Yeah, it does. And it’s an all-vegan formula, so it’s just like eating those types of foods that help you break down food. So it’s wonderful. So the 1-800 number is 1-800-827-7656. Dr. Julie, thank you very much, as always. I appreciate it. Me too, John. Thank you.

But Paul the Water Man, it’s Water Pros is his business. And what I will tell you is… He is really big on making sure that you’re getting rid of all of those chemicals and things that we just got done talking to Dr. Julie about. He’s got the ability to filter all of that out, including some of the forever chemicals that you find in a lot of the municipal water supplies that are out there. And some of you that are on wells where you’ve got hard water and you’re figuring out or trying to figure out how to make all of that work. Paul has the ability to do things multiple ways. Whether you want to do a whole home system or you want to do just one for the drinking water itself, he can tailor it according to whatever you need.

You can take it, as Dr. Julie said, empty stomach, full stomach before you go to bed. If you’ve got a little bit of heartburn coming on, take it then. I mean, literally, whenever you feel like you need to be taking it, you can. You can even take it as a regular vitamin in the mornings, noon, night, whatever works for you. It’s not one of those sorts of things that will keep you up at night because of its ingredients. You literally can take it any time. In fact, I’ll tell you, for me personally, it’s a nice sleep aid.
