Today, we're refeaturing my dear friendBrooke ev. She's a courageous,

(04:04):
determined, beautiful young woman diagnosed withALS back in March of twenty twenty two.
She hopes to spread awareness of ALSto as many people as possible and
laugh along the way, which shedoes. Although the mean survival time with
ALS is shorter than we'd like,some people can in fact live much longer.
Symptoms can begin in the muscles thatcontrol speech and swallowing, or in

(04:28):
the hands, arms, legs,or feet. ALS or amiotrophic lateral gleurosis,
is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affectsnerve cells in the brain and spinal
cord. For about ninety percent ofall cases, there's no known family history
of the disease or presence of agenetic mutation linked to ALS. Only for
about five to ten percent of allcases there is in fact a known family

(04:51):
history of the disease, and thisis often called familial ALS. Well here
to chat more and here directly frompatient yourself making a difference. How to
stay positive amidst a terminal illness isthe amazing brooke ebe welcome to the show,
Superstar. Thank you so much forhaving me again. I love being

(05:12):
back, I love having you.You are such a ray of sunshine.
Can you share your diagnoses and howit has evolved and what is the current
prognosis for you. Yeah, soI was diagnosed over two years ago now,
it was March of twenty twenty two, and at the time they told
me, you know, I'd beenhaving symptoms prior to that for four years,

(05:34):
which is slower than they're used toseeing. So they said, you
know, you've been a slow progressorso far, we don't really expect that
to change. So we're not goingto give you any kind of timeline or
time frame. We're just going tosort of track you and check in every
three months. So since then twoyears ago, since that diagnosis, I'm

(05:55):
now in a wheelchair full time.My leg is pretty much for decoration at
this point, my left arm isgetting weaker, and then in the last
couple months, I've seen a declinein my lungs, which is one of
the scarier ones. But it basicallymeans like, because my diaphragm is so
weak, like my core is soweak, I don't have a lot of

(06:17):
power behind breathing and coughing and thosetypes of things. So to me,
quite a bit has changed in thelast couple of years. And yet I'm
still considered a slow progressor which isjust mind blowing. That's scary. Yeah,
And I know studies to develop moretreatments and a cure for ALS,

(06:38):
many funded by the ALS Association,are ongoing around the world. In fact,
scientists have made significant progress in understandinghow the disease works, identifying biological
indicators that can help diagnose and treat. But there's still so much work that
needs to be done. There isa lot of hope, but facing such
a challenging prognosis, how do youfind the strength to remain so positive and

(07:01):
hopeful? Every day? I seeyou out there on social media with a
great, big smile on your face, making light of everything. You're full
of life, smiling and seeming tobe coping better than most in your situation.
How important is mindset? So afterI got diagnosed, I was depressed
for probably two three months, andthen after a couple of months, I

(07:23):
was like, this is kind ofboring, Like it's being sad for long
periods of time. It's like,I don't know what to do with this,
And so I think my personality juststarted to sort of creep back in
as I got used to everything andFor me, that's always meant jokes,
like just treating everything with humor,even if it's the most serious thing in

(07:45):
the world. I just have neverbeen able to take anything seriously. So
that's helped me quite a bit inthat I can, you know, laugh
at some of the things happening tome because you know, I'm thirty five.
Now, when you're thirty five witha disease, that's taking away your
ability to do very normal things,like sometimes all you can do is laugh.

(08:05):
But I'm also really lucky in thatI have, you know, really
close family, really great group offriends, Like I have those building blocks.
I think that allow me to justfocus on the ALS problem as opposed
to worrying about you know, howam I going to pay for this medication
and how am I going to getfrom point A to point B? Like
I have a support system in place. I also think social media has helped

(08:26):
quite a bit. Like I thinka lot of people see the negativity on
social media and you see meat andcomments and how it can tear people down.
But sharing my story has really oneIt's desensitized me and I feel like
I can talk about ALS and notyou know, get depressed just by talking

(08:48):
about it, Like I think Ican now have conversations about really hard things
and it doesn't make me sad.It's just, you know, conversation and
learning. But I've also seen suchstrong support from internet strangers. It's unbelievable.
If you look through my comments,I don't know any of these people,
and they're cheering me on day inand day out. And as Charles

(09:11):
Lindbergh said, success is not measuredby what amount accomplishes, but by the
opposition he has encountered and the couragewith which he has maintained the struggle against
overwhelming odds. And that's what you'redoing. And I'm really really proud to
see you day in, day out. Keep a positive mindset, whether you're
getting help from social media or yourfriends or family. The best medicine for

(09:35):
this is mindset, and you've gotit now. You continue to be an
incredible advocate for als awareness and fundraising. What drives you to keep pushing forward?
Yeah, I think what drives me. It's interesting. I actually think
that it's easier to want to fightfor other people than it is for yourself.
And I don't know if that's likea psychological thing or if that's like

(09:56):
a woman care taking type feeling.But I sometimes will get a little bit
apathetic, and then I'll talk toone of my friends who has ALS,
or someone in my support group whohas ALS, and it sort of recharges
me to be like, Okay,you know this isn't You're not fighting for
you, like you're fighting for anentire population of people who, you know,

(10:18):
I have historically been forgotten. AndALS can silence you, like you
can lose your voice, you canlose you know, the ability to go
out of your house. So somany people are just fighting this disease in
behind closed doors. And so I'vejust decided to keep being as loud as
I can and try to be avoice for people who have lost theirs and

(10:43):
outside of the wheelchair, is thereanything that you find yourself struggling to do
on your upper body. It's like, it's so bizarre because I watch videos
of myself, you know, afew years ago, and I'm like,
I took everything for granted, Likewaking up and getting out of bed now
takes me like ten minutes, whichI guess doesn't sound that long, but

(11:05):
compared to ten seconds, it feelsa lot longer. Going to the bathroom.
I like dread doing because you haveto transfer out of your wheelchair onto
the toilet or into the shower togo shower. Like it's a production.
Everything's a production now. So I'vebeen requiring more and more help these days.
Well, thank you for being sotransparent and well you have a great

(11:28):
support system, so I know you'vegot help there. Now, let's chat
available treatments and therapies for als,and what does the research look like and
what can people do to help.Yeah, it's hard to talk about the
research from the patient side because Ithink on the medical side, if you
talk to you know, the scientistsand the doctors and the researchers, they're

(11:48):
constantly working, they're constantly learning andunderstanding more about this disease. But from
the patient side, you know,it hasn't really translated yet. So for
us, we still have the sameonly too approved medications. We actually had
three, I think the last timeI spoke with you, and then one
got pulled back because it was foundto be ineffective, so we're down to

(12:09):
two medications. Both are expected toextend your life span by you know,
a few months or a percentage oftime, which you know isn't all that
exciting, isn't much to hang yourhat on. So from the patients side,
really nothing's changed. I think ifyou were to talk to the researchers,

(12:31):
they'd probably say a lot has changedin the last couple of years,
and they're you know, more andmore trials are happening, more attention is
being given. But all I canreally see is, you know, when
I go to the doctor, theysay, there's nothing else we can do
for you. So the way I'vebeen approaching it is really through fundraising.
I think that it's an underfunded diseasefor relative to how quick and how terminal

(12:56):
it is. So my goal hasjust been raising money and I which off
which organizations I give money too,just to diversify our luck a little bit.
But yeah, I think money islike the best way I can control
at this point. When you speakto your doctors and you ask them what
is my timeline, what do theysay to you? You know, I

(13:16):
don't really ask them that because Ithink unless it were under a year,
I don't think I would want toknow. I think now it's more,
you know, just tracking my progress. I'm sure they could give me a
timeline if I asked, But unlessit's imminent, I don't want to know.

(13:37):
And whenever, you know, thoseconversations will happen naturally when they're supposed
to happen. Yeah. Meantime,it's all about fundraising and really trekking forward
to get as much research funding,as much money to fund the research so
that we can make some progress.Now, can you share some of the

(13:58):
most memorable moments or achievements from youradversary from this advocacy work over the past
two years. Yeah, I meanthere's so many highlights. I wish you
know, eventually I'll make some sortof highlight reel of everything that's gone on.
But a year ago we did afundraiser. So May is als awareness
month. So for the last twoyears I've done a post today in May,

(14:22):
just answering people's questions and you know, answering comments, and I wrap
it up by doing a fundraiser.And last year the fundraiser, I think,
because it was like the first timeI had done one, we raised
very very quickly. I think wehit seventy K and then I had a

(14:43):
stre I think I had Yeah,we had hit seventy and then a stranger
reached out and said they would matchit if we hit one hundred, which
is mind blowing. It was justa stranger from the internet. I was
not even sure if it was realor not. But as soon as we
hit one hundred, they matched it, so that it was like one of
the craziest experiences. And we havea fundraiser going right now too, although

(15:05):
I think second times a little lesssparkly than the first. Also, I've
gotten to throw out first pitches.I've gotten to speak at a bunch of
events. Like, There's been alot of fun experiences that I wouldn't have
had without als. I definitely haveseen all of them, and I've some
bad pitches in that in that lineup. No, no, no, you

(15:26):
did great. Now. How hasyour perspective on life and time changed since
your diagnosis and what lessons have youlearned that you'd like others to understand.
There's so many. I think beforeI was diagnosed, I was kind of
like confused. I think at life, I was just really focused on work.
I didn't really understand my purpose.I was just sort of going through

(15:50):
the motions. But when you don'thave a purpose, like it's almost frustrating
because you don't really know what you'recharging towards. I'm like, I guess
I'm just trying to get promoted atwork. I mean, you know,
I didn't really know what I wasworking for or working towards. And then
once I was diagnosed, I thinkeverything kind of fell into place, Like

(16:12):
now I understand what I want toachieve in the next few years, and
a lot of that has to dowith driving awareness and driving money towards als.
So I think it's mostly like perspective, and then also how I spend
my time. You know, Iwant to spend as much time with people
that I love, so family andfriends, and don't stress yourself out too

(16:37):
much with things that don't matter.It's like usually what I'm telling my friends
quite a bit. Those are wisewords, my dear, And the tests
we face in life's journey are notto reveal our weaknesses, but to help
us discover our inner strengths. Andyou can only know how strong you are
when you strive and thrive beyond thechallenges you face, and that's what you're

(16:57):
doing. So this is this isvery telling. Now, how do you
manage your symptoms? I know youdon't maintain your independence anymore, but how
do you manage your symptoms. Yeah, so now I have a caregiver who
comes and helps me. Really,the things I need help with are like
places where I feel unsafe, solike transferring into the shower. Pretty much

(17:18):
anything in a bathroom scenario I thinkis the most dangerous for people with limited
mobility because like everything is sharp andhard and there's like no safe place to
fall in a bathroom. So shehelps me quite a bit, you know,
getting in and out of the shower, and also just like helping me
take care of myself. I thinkshe takes better care of me than I

(17:41):
think I've ever taken care of me. Like she makes sure I'm eating constantly.
She's making sure that I'm like puttingon lotion, like little things that
you know, just you sort ofput by the wayside when you're busy all
day. Like sometimes I would belike, oh, I don't think I
ate lunch today, and she's like, oh my god. So it's just
like a lot of taking care ofme and love that you have that we

(18:04):
are at the end of this interview. My dear, thank you so much

host, Zen. Sam's up nextin just a few minutes and a going
Deep segment brought to you by Cotwo Lift. Today, we're featuring Sarah
V. Brook, a registered nursespecializing in aesthetics. She is the MEDSPAD
Director at Austin Plastic Surgeon and shespecializes in esthetic and liposuction procedures. Now,

(19:59):
liposuction is one of the top threemost requested aesthetic procedures in recent statistics.
It overtook breast augmentation as most popularcosmetic surgery. The conjuring procedure,
which uses suction to remove excess fat, accounted for fifteen percent of cosmetic surgeries
performed worldwide. Changing trends are alsopart of a global surge in aesthetic medicine,

(20:22):
which saw over thirty million surgical andnon surgical procedures carried out in twenty
twenty one, and that's a jumpof about twenty percent from the previous year.
Who would have thought that LiPo wouldend up being so popular. Sarah
Vbrook joins me now to talk aboutthe best liposuction procedures, the benefits of
carbon dioxide therapy pre and post procedure. Most importantly, how CO two lifts

(20:45):
pro is speeding up the healing andrecovering process in dramatic ways. We'll also
get patient testimonials and reactions to cootwolift in real time. Welcoming down to
the show is the amazing nurse SarahVibrock to the show, Superstar, Thank
you so much for having me.I'm so excited to talk about one of
my favorite topics, the CO twolift mask and how we combine it with

(21:07):
body procedures. Just like you alludedto, So let's dig right in.
When did you first hear of COtwo lift products? And in your own
words, can you describe how carboxytherapy functions on a cellular level and what
does it actually help your patients achieve? Carboxy therapy or the CO two lift
mask uses carbon dioxide and why that'simportant is it's basically going to trick your

(21:30):
body or your tissue wherever we're applyingthis mask into feeling like it's starving for
oxygen. Right. Oxygen is soimportant for many things, healing, getting
nutrients to our cells, all ofthe above, Right, So if we
can temporarily trick our cells or ourtissue into thinking that it's starving for oxygen,
then our body's going to say,hey, we need more oxygen.

(21:52):
Right, So it's going to obviouslyopen up those capillaries, which is what
seeds our blood. Right, ourblood bethels, they feed our blood to
the tissue, and it's going tosend fresh, oxygen, rich blood to
that tissue wherever we applied the mask, which is going to do a couple
of things. It's going to speedup healing, it's going to bring the
nutrients that we need it's going tohelp to close a wound. If we're
applying it over a wound, it'sgoing to hydrate. It does all these

(22:15):
amazing, incredible things. So that'swhere we you know, heard about this.
Doctor Franco who I worked for atAustin Plastic Surgeon, actually started incorporating
this into his liposection cases, hishigh definition live bow cases. Especially.
You know, in esthetics, we'realways trying to be at the top of
what's new and cutting edge, andthe cotwo lift mask really helps to decrease

(22:38):
downtime. His patients don't want downtime, right like we right, you know
we want It's one of the importantquestions. Downtime is at the forefront of
everybody's brain. And what you're sayingit makes total sense carboxy therapy. If
you increase the presence of wound repairfactors and growth factors, that helps cells
turnover faster. So the science isthe science is the science. Now the

(22:59):
healing process is key. So let'sgo back to what you just alluded to.
How does CO two lift pro affectthe recovery process. Anything we can
do to make our tissue healthier speedup that healing, and that's what we're
doing with the CO two right,So we're getting fresh oxygen blood, which
is what that means is we're gettingmore nutrients, we're getting more collagen made,

(23:19):
right, We're getting faster wound healing, and the fresh blood is also
removing waste from the area. Right. So literally by increasing nutrients, getting
more waste taken away, we're speedingup the healing process, decreasing bruising,
decreasing redness, decreasing inflammation, andjust literally cutting that healing time. I
would say almost in half. Ilove it. I love it, and

(23:41):
the research is there. This isclinically verified and clinically researched. CO two
lift pro and even COE two liftthe consumer one definitely improves that local metabolism
and elimination of waste products within thebody is key to what backs it up
and inflammation ensues. So this helpsthe you'll localize damage just scars and bruising

(24:02):
so much faster. So I lovethat you're applying it to these localized areas
other than the face, which isthe most common go to use case for
COEO too lift. But now we'rehaving we're seeing this incorporated pre and post
surgical procedures which I find fascinating.Now, what are the most common procedures
you combine CO two lift pro width. So we started out incorporating it in

(24:26):
those liposeection cases, the AHD lightBO even some of Doctor Franco's bbl's,
but we saw how it was reallydecreasing the bruising, decreasing the downtime.
So I was like, I gotto get in on this. So for
me, lower body is my dam. I treat a ton of cellulite.
I do a procedure called ovoli thatis a minimally invasive, one time treatment
for cellulite, and then I alsodo a ton of skin tightening. Especially

(24:49):
with the weight loss revolution, we'reseeing so much increased skin laxity, and
a lot of times we're doing whatwe call a luxury legs procedure where I'm
combining ovali with skin tighten and thenfinishing that with that COTWO lift mask.
Because when we're doing these minimally invasiveprocedures, we have a little more bruising,
a little more inflammation. It's nonsurgical, but it's still minimally invasive.

(25:11):
So the patients when they hear nonsurgical, they expect low down time,
right so as soon as I startedcombining this, their downtime is significantly
decreased and the patients are happier.I love happy patients. So let's chat
avily because you mentioned that, andthat's piqued my interest. So we know
that liposuction won't treat cellulite. Celluliteis a complex problem and pockets of fat
are only one contributing factor. Liposuctioncannot alter the fibrous connective bands that along

(25:37):
with the fat, cause the dimplesand bumps associated with cellulite. And it's
important to note that liposuction can actuallyworsen the appearance of loose, saggy skin.
So for the best results, theskin in the treatment area and I
learned this from doctor Franco, shouldbe firm, smooth, and relatively elastic,
and using liposuction to remove fat froman area of the body with looser

(25:57):
saggy skin can lead the skin lookingeven more wrinkly. So the next recommended
step is avoli. What does thisprocedure involve on a scientific level and can
you and when you combine it witha tool of pro what are the difference
in results with patients who have notused it? Yeah? Absolutely, or
speaking my love language. I loveto talk everything ovilly and cellulite. This

(26:19):
is really how I differentiated myself asa provider. You know, we know
that ninety percent of women have cellulite, and they've oftentimes been burned by a
procedure in the past that didn't workbecause we didn't truly understand it right.
So now we know, just likeyou said, that cellulite is caused by
those fibrous bands pulling on the skinand creating that dimple. So if we
don't go in and release the band, physically actually cut the band, then

(26:42):
the skin won't smooth out. Andlike you said, removing excess fat with
liposection actually makes skin laxity worse.And I would say the majority of my
patients that I'm treating for cellulite alsohave skin laxity. So that's where what
we call luxury legs comes in,where we're treating not only the skin laxity
but also the celly light because mostof us have both. It's a one

(27:04):
time treatment that we do in office. For the ovali, we numb you
locally. I go in with theovli wand and actually cut those bands.
And then the best part is theverification, so I can go through with
the hook on the wand and makesure that I got all those bands that
are tethering your skin down. Andthen the best part, like you said,
is we use the CO two liftmask immediately after, so I'm literally

(27:26):
applying it on the booty and thethighs, everywhere that we're treating. We
leave it on for at least fortyfive minutes to an hour, and then
I send those patients home with twomore because I want them to do at
least a series of three. Andthe feedback that I've gotten from my patients
that I've incorporated this with is Ihave almost no bruising. I mean,
that's incredible when we're talking cutting andreleasing bands in the button thighs. So

(27:49):
yeah, it's been a total gamechanger. Not only do they have a
smooth booty, but they can getin that bikini even faster. Oh I
love this, it's so validating.Now, in parallel, I'm going to
pivot a little bit. Both COtwo lift and hyperbaric oxygen therapy utilize oxygen
in their respective processes. This weknow in CO two lyft carbon dioxide is

(28:11):
applied to the skin and the skinis expected to absorb the CO two and
in the process release oxygen potentially,but we know now factually improving skin health.
And in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber,pure oxygen is administered at increased atmospheric
pressure. Now, this higher pressureallows the body to absorb more oxygen into
the bloodstream, which can be beneficialfor various medical conditions. Now, the

(28:34):
common thread between the two is thefocus on oxygenation of tissues, albeit through
different methods. So comparing CO twolift to a hyperbaric oxygen chamber suggests that
there may be some similarities in howboth treatments incorporate the use of oxygen.
So the CO two lift product hasin fact been compared by even doctor Hoyos
and a lot of other fellows inyour practice in your field, right is

(28:57):
hyperbaric oxygen chamber? Can you speakto this in your own experience with patients?
Absolutely, you know, in theworld of esthetics, we are so
excited for anything new and cutting atWe mentioned that earlier, right, And
we've used hyperberic oxygen therapy for awhile to speed up wound healing, to
speed up the recovery process, whichis everything we've already touched on, right,

(29:18):
And just like you said, itdoes that via oxygen with increased pressure.
But it's not convenient, right,Like the patient has to go and
sit in the chamber for minimum fortyfive minutes, often up to two hours,
sometimes longer. Right, it costsquite a bit. It's not cost
effective. They can't do it intheir own home typically, you know,
unless they've got their own chamber athome, which is rare. So they're

(29:38):
both increasing oxygen, right, Wealready talked on why that's helpful, but
with different components, right, Soone is a topic all mask using CO
two. The other one is increasedpressure, which is going to help you
absorb more oxygen. So I totallyagree, I, you know, and
that's what we've seen with the patientsand with the patient maybe that was a
little bit slower with healing that wewould have sent to a hyperbaric oxygen chamber

(30:02):
in the past. Now we canjust apply the CO two mask and send
them home with more of them todo in the comfort of their own home.
Way more cost effective, so mucheasier, and the results are incredible.
Just like you said, this hasbeen scientifically studied. We see the
increased oxygenation we see the sped uphealing. We see it with you know,
right before our eyes. So it'stotally mind blowing. I would say

(30:23):
that it's very comparable, but inmy opinion better because it's better, it's
so much easier. Yep. Well, we are officially officially out of time.
Can't wait to listen to those patienttestimonials. I think we should roll
up our sleeves and see what theyhave to say. What do you think
we do it? I can't wait. Thank you so much for having me.
Then, this has been incredible.Let's dive right in. My name

(30:44):
is Daniela and I'm twenty three yearsold. I visited Sarah here at Austin
Plastic Surgeon to address some sololite thatI had on my button back of my
thighs basically my whole life. SoI did the ovally treatment here with her.
My name is Cecilia. I'm thirtyyears old and I got the Vacci
treatment done. What's the main reasonyou visit Nurse Sarah at Austin Plastic Surgeon
And in your opinion, what's themost important consideration when you evaluate skincare treatments?

(31:07):
So I always go to Sarah becauseshe really knows my skin. I've
been going to her for a whilenow, and so I like that whenever
sees suggests something to me, it'sreally customized to my skin. In terms
of general skincare, I really lookfor something that's rejuvenating, something that's going
to hydrate my skin, keep myskin nice and glowy, something that's really
soothing and just feels nice on theskin. Have you ever heard of carboxy

(31:30):
therapy for skin rejuvenation before? Ifso, what do you know about it?
I had never heard about carboxy therapyfor skin rejuvenation before, so I
was really excited to try it outfor the first time. So I didn't
hear about it until Sarah recommend itto me. I was a little bit
nervous going into Vavacci since I amI have very sensitive skin, and I

(31:51):
am prone to a lot of rednessand I don't want to come out of
the clinic looking crazy for a longperiod of time. And so she highly
recommended it, and I'm very veryhappy that she did, since my results
were very very quick and very verynice right after my treatment. What were
you expecting from the CO two lifttreatment? So really, what I was
expecting just to help with a littlebit of the redness, maybe a little

(32:12):
bit of the soothing aspect of it. I knew from Avalie treatments from other
patients that sometimes it could cause prettyintense bruising, so I was hoping it
would help with that. How wasusing the CO two lift mask before or
after your procedure improved your recovery andresults. It just made it a lot
a lot easier. It was reallynice that I could get the Vivaci done,
which is micro needling, so itcan be a little bit spicy in

(32:35):
certain areas. It was really nicethat I could she put that on immediately
after my Vavacci treatment, and Ihad it on for a while and then
I was able just to peel itoff and go on from my day to
day. Using the CO two maskafter my Avalie treatment was absolutely game changing.
When I came into the treatment,I was a little apprehensive, just
because I had heard that other patientshad had really intense bruising that lost it

(32:57):
and you were from two to threeweeks. But for me that absolutely was
not the case. I used threetreatments of the carboxy treatment after my ovolie,
and I only had bruising that lasteda couple days. How does the
mask feel on your skin? Themask is really really nice. It has
this really nice soothing and cooling effect. Because it's kind of a jelly consistency.
You can either pack it on toareas that you need a little bit
more treatment, or if you're tryingto make it spread a little bit more,

(33:21):
you can make it a little thinnerand get really nice results that way
too. It feels so nice.It's honestly really cool. I think it's
something that people don't really talk about. It gets a little bit puffy and
it's almost like a gel consistency,so it feels really nice. It's nice
and cooling, and then you canjust kind of peel it off when you're
done. What are the most apparentresults after your CO two lift treatment?

(33:42):
By far, the most apparent andimpressive results I had after my CO two
treatment was the absolutely minimal bruising thatI had after my ovalie treatment. I
was really apprehensive going in just becauseI had seen some patients have really intense
bruising and that for me was notthe case at all. With the COO
two lift. Oh my gosh,I had zero redness after Vivacci, which
is crazy for me. I havevery sensitive Irish skin, so I had

(34:05):
no redness after I peeled off themask soothing. It was really really nice
in my skin. I could touchmy skin and there was no sensitivity.
And then again I was just veryplumped with it, so my skin just
looked really good. It looked likeI got done with having a facial rather
than having like a micro needling session. Is this a mask you would use
again for post treatment healing for everything. Yes. Absolutely, anything that's going

(34:27):
to cause me to get red,anything that's going to cause a little bit
of sensitivity on my skin. Iwould absolutely use this mask after any treatment
here at Austin Plastic Surgeon. AndI'm also kind of excited to try it
on my face either on a weeklyor monthly basis, just to see how
it promotes skin rejuvenation and glowing skinand a nice hydrated skin. That was

New York iHeartRadio. I'm your hostZenzam up next in the Discover Your Potential
segment brought to you by Smart PetTalk. Today we're joined by contributor,
podcaster and regular co host Anna deVere. Today she is joined by Jackie
Piol. Jackie is a full timeactress that you may recognize Asrio Morales in
the Spider Man video game series forSony PlayStation, the TV series Bosch,

(36:20):
an American horror story. That's justto name a few. But today she'll
be joining us to chat all abouta different passion of hers dogs. This
month, she's releasing The Canine Condition, a dog umentary series that is grassroots
journey around the US to show heraudience how to improve the lives of homeless,
abandoned and neglected doggies and investigate thecause of dog homelessness. They're going

(36:45):
to join me to chat all aboutThe Canine Condition, offer solutions, and
shine a light on the state ofanimal shelters across the US. Today.
Welcoming now to the show are JackiePiol and Anna de Vere. Welcome,
superstars, Thank you, Hi,excited to have you on. Jackie.
It's an honor to have you withus today, and I have to say

(37:05):
your devotion towards this particular topic doggiesis clear, but I know you're also
a full time actress, so I'mcurious as to what unlocked this passion for
canine treatment and homelessness in your timeaway from the cameras. Can you take
us back to the point of inspirationbehind your foundation, the canine condition and
your upcoming docuseries. What launched youon this heartfelt journey. Yes, it's

(37:30):
always it always seeks one dog Andfor any animal lovers out there in pet
parents, you can probably relate tothe first time there was a dog or
a cat or sometimes it can eatpig that drives you in a certain direction.
And for us, it was adoggie that we found on the streets,
and you always go the route of, Okay, it must have a

(37:51):
holl somebody's missing this dog. Let'stake it to the shelter. Let's see
if it could be scanned for amicrochip. You know, there's steps that
you take to see where We putup signs on local posts in the area
and nobody claimed this dog, sowe turned her into the shelter, thinking
her family would go find her,and they didn't, and after two weeks,
I kept checking in with the shelter. She's a beautiful great dange pitpull

(38:13):
type dog, makes long lean pallShe's just so regal and beautiful, and
nobody came to claim her. Sothe shelter did war made that according to
the rules of the shelter system,and it is you know, across the
United States, when they are full, they have to start using eizing space
because they can't say no to anymore incoming out. And I didn't know

(38:35):
anything about that. So to makea long story shirt, I said no
Ah. And through that journey shefound her home with us. She had
she had me at Hello, andwhen it was time to do adoptions,
we're like, no, she's notgoing anywhere. You're amazing and I love
I love what you're doing. It'sso important because statistically, approximately over three

(38:58):
million dogs enter animal shelters nationwide,this is every year, but only around
two million of those dogs end upgetting adopted. And we all know,
just as you highlight what these animalshelters are about, they're not the greatest
or condest environment. So it's sogreat to see people like you shining a
light, a real light on thisand offering solutions. I know, I

(39:19):
have some questions, so I'll handit off to you. Adam. Yeah,
your story's remarkable. I know we'regoing to dive into it, but
I just kind of wanted to know, like, after you adopted it's Dublin,
right, the dog. How afteryou adopted Dublin, how did you
know and when did you know youwere going to have to do this docu
series? Like what took you outof just adopting a pet and realizing,
okay, we need to highlight thisentire situation. So it was the day

(39:44):
I went to pick her up atthe shelter. We watched by all the
kennels and you know, it's aloud cacophonists, you know, barking sounds,
and there's all these beautiful, youknow, souls staring at you thinking
are coming for me, And Iwas going to get her. I was
very excited, and as we walkedout, and I just still have that

(40:05):
like a scene playing in my head, walking out of that shelter, not
knowing if all those dogs would getadopted or even make it out ever,
right, that was troubling to me. And although we saved her and she
has a great life and is nowfourteen, and you know, a little
bit of arthritis and still wobbling around. I couldn't sleep at night sometimes thinking

(40:25):
this is happening everywhere. And Istarted to look on you know how social
media prompts you for things. Imean, it's not like, oh,
I just happened to come across this, so I must have been. It's
so involved in looking at pet thingsonline. And I saw a post from
a shelter in Georgia and they said, if we don't get down to capacity,

(40:46):
which is seventy nine, everybody knowswhat happens. And I thought,
oh, lan goodness. My husbandwas like, listen, you can't save
them all. You can't go adoptthem all out and find fosters. Maybe
you should do something big, somethingthough along the lines of what you love
to do and are interested in.And I was interested in filmmaking at the
time as an actor, and that'swhat prompted the idea, like, oh

(41:07):
my goodness, let's do a documentary. Let's travel around the country, who's
helping these jobs? Let's go filmthat. You know, as a pet
owner, I can tell you thatanytime I've lost a pet and I've had
to go to a shelter, Iam scared. I know it breaks my
heart just as it did when youfirst, you know, started this journey.
Can you just talk a little bitabout your approach and specifically highlighting solutions

(41:30):
so that you know, rather thanjust highlighting the negative, and how just
focusing on the positive is moved theneedle for the canine condition. Yes,
and that was my intention. Iwanted to make a documentary series that people
wouldn't have to always get kleenex orsay, oh, I can't watch this,
it's too hard for me to watchthis, which a lot of these
animal welfare documentaries and shows can belike. And I don't also want to

(41:53):
sugarcoat it and tell you that it'sall pretty and fluppy and it's you know,
always a smile in their face.But it's more about, hey,
it's worth me having a tiny,uncomfortable moment to make a positive impact in
the long run. Right, Sosometimes I just say, if you can't
go into a shelter, connect withthe rescue organization that has volunteers that do

(42:17):
go to shelters, and then maybeyou can be on the other end.
You don't have to visit the actualshelter, but you can bring any food,
blankets, streets, leicious collars evenused to things that they can use
for the dogs they're pulling from theshelter. You can share their dogs on
your social media pages, which isreally easy because then they get exposed to
our eyes and ears that may belooking for that specific animal. And if

(42:40):
you do have it in you tovisit a shelter, you can literally without
even being a registered volunteer, gowith your iPhone or your Samsung whatever,
use I don't even know your mobilephone and videotape the dogs and show them
on your own social media and say, hey, you can find this doggy
ad blah blah blah shelter, andyou can see their channel card with the

(43:04):
number, and people will know whereand how to find that specific animal.
Well. I know, it's obviouslyeasier for those who aren't pet parents to
remain in the dark about the stateof our animal shelters. But for these
individuals or those who just aren't readyfor the full time commitment of adoption,
what are some ways that people canhelp their local shelter or nonprofit animal rescue
organizations outside of physically going there andfilming the dogs and making this somewhat of

(43:30):
a task. If you will.Are there any other recommendations you have,
I would say the two most importantones if you're in a position to donate,
And I really want to stress thatdonations could be as little as five
dollars because imagine if everyone on yourblock gave five dollars to your local shelter
and there's thirty homes, you knowwhat I mean. That is a lot

(43:52):
of money. That buys a lotof dog fleet because the shelters also get
it at a discounted price. Soyou're talking about many, many pounds of
dogs that could be purchased for theshelter. So those small donations, or
you could do like a donation poolat work. Maybe if you work in
an office environment and you could do, Hey, guys, I'm going to
put out a jar by Friday.Let's see how much money you guys can

(44:14):
If you guys have change from youknow, your coffee or your weekly purchase
or whatever, throw it in thejar. Let's see and then donate that
to your local shelter or to anonprofit organization that's foster base where you know,
if you follow anyone on social media, we are constantly recommending organizations that
adopt out dogs. Because we liketo vet them around a country and let

(44:36):
you know, hey, they reallyare doing the good work and your money
is going where they say it's going. So we're another resource at the canine
condition where people can ask and say, hey, should that be some warning?
This is this a good one orare they doing the work? And
we can tell you now we haveblessed. In a minute, left,
let's talk about your foundation. Iunderstand that today marks and anniversary for you.

(44:57):
So after a decade of diving deepinto this subject and witnessing many organizations
firsthand, where does your nonprofit fitinto the bigger picture? So, after
having done a documentary, I realizethat one of the number one ways to
find a solution to the overpopulation ofneglected abandoned dogs, or to prevent more
of that abandonment, is to spayand not or your pets to keep them

(45:20):
vaccinated in microchips so that if theyget lost, it's easy to scan them
and it's fine be registered to theirowner so that you know where to take
them all rund. So my foundationfocuses on raising funds and paying for the
spay, neoter vaccinations and microchips forfamily owned pets. Anyone who can't afford
it or needs some and not allthe assistants. You are welcome. We
will say yes, we will makeit happen. No matter where you are

(45:42):
in the United States. We'll finda bet near that family's home. We
have clinic days where we do thirtyfive to forty pets at a time and
we get it done. I thinkit's really important because we're preventing thousands upon
thousands of litters that our people don'twant, sometimes accidental litters or can't afford
it. They do want the petspade and nuter so we're trying to just
provide more resources and access to that. So that's what we're about now.

(46:07):
I love it. Well. Weare at the end of this interview officially,
thank you so much for coming on. Jackie, and I truly admire
what you're doing. I know Annadoes too. We're both in awe because
offering solutions like spaying and neutering andacting preventatively and getting ahead of the problem
like your organization does is extremely important. And I know that due to the

(46:28):
overpopulation of shelters, each year,approximately nine hundred and fifty thousand shelter animals
are euthanized three hundred and ninety thousandof them being dogs, and that's where
my heart shambles into a million pieces. So you're really doing great work from
within with your foundation and continuing toeducate people with the help of your new
docu series. Thank you so muchfor coming on and Anna, thank you

(46:51):
so much for bringing her to theshow. Yeah, thank you for following
your heart. Jackie, it's amazing. Thank you, Thank you for everything.

wor the Voice of New York.All Right, ladies and gentlemen, I'm
here to talk to you about BrianCoberger. He is the defendant in the
Idaho University student killings case, andrecently the prosecution and the defense come to

(48:22):
an agreement that the trial will takeplace not this year, but in June
of twenty twenty five. There's beena lot of motion practice in this case
where the defense has tried to excludecertain pieces of evidence, attacking the DNA
evidence that linked Brian Coberger to thiscase, to the crimes and the allegations

(48:43):
against him in this case. Butthere's also some news based on a journalist
releasing a book. The journalist's nameis Howard Bloom. He released a book
called When the Night Comes Foiling aRequiem for the Idaho student murders. And
in that book, he really summarizesall the investigation he's done as a journalist

(49:06):
into this case, and he hasa theory. He has a theory that
Brian Coburger allegedly knew exactly who hewas targeting, and that would have been
Madison Mogen, one of the youngwomen who tragically lost their life in this
incident. And why does he saythat, Well, he thinks that Brian
Coburger went straight to her room andlikely knew who he was targeting and who

(49:30):
he wanted to go kill first,allegedly, and he bypassed these other rooms
where there were other individuals in thoserooms, and he went straight to Madison
aka Maddy Mugen's room in order tofind her. And that's the allegations of
the reporting by this individual in hisbook. This is Howard Bloom's book,

(49:53):
and whether that is the case,we will have to wait and see what
evidence the prosecution is going to bebringing forward in this case. Of course,
we know that Brian Coberger was arrestedafter there was a DNA hit with
his familial DNA and that of aDNA sample that was collected off a night

(50:15):
sheep that was found at the sceneof the crime. And that's how prosecutors
and law enforcement late Brian Coberger withthe deaths of these four individuals that he
is charged with now in an indictmentfor murder. And this book that was
released has this theory, and ofcourse we'll have to wait and see how

(50:37):
the prosecution ends up putting forth theircase. The defense really being aggressive in
trying to knock out some of theevidence that they believe the prosecution is going
to be relying on at trial,and that would be the DNA evidence and
some also some cell phone site dataevidence. We're gonna have to wait and

(50:57):
see. The trial is set nowfor Jude twenty twenty five. I imagine
there's going to be more motion practicefrom the defense that the prosecution is going
to have to answer with oppositions tomake sure that they have a case that's
going to come in front of thatjewelry would all be evidence intact and nothing
precluded or suppressed and that's what thedefense wants. But go check out that

(51:20):
book. I think it's probably aninteresting one. And of course that has
this theory that Brian Kolberger knew exactlywho he was going for first when he
entered the house, according to theallegations in the indictment against him by the
prosecution. Iron and sorry, andyou are watching a Moment of Zen and
