Speaker 1 (00:17):
All right, Courtney and Rebecca, we're on the air, so
we're gonna get situated here as Aladdin Zach leave the studio.
They were awesome. We're so glad that you joined us
for that first hour. Rebecca and Courtney are moving in switching.
It's like musical microphones, right, you know it was what
(00:38):
was the game we used to play? But you would
rotate chair musical chair?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, I could remember it. I swear to gosh, you
get close to sixty and your mind goes.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You need to commend to us for some memory care.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I really might have to.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So these are the ladies from the Avenue Wellness Center,
Rebecca and Courtney. They are also in every month, just
like Ladd and Zach are. And it is such a
small world old when you are connected through raw with
Boots in me because Courtney, you walked in here and
you're like, oh my gosh, you've known Zach for how
many years?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's been over twenty Yeah, one of the most trustworthy right, yeah, right,
I need to go to the Avenue. He's one of
the most trustworthy people I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And you haven't seen them though in probably years.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, twenty some years, but you just know that that family,
they're good people.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And I asked her right away, I'm like, how many
kids you think he has? Now you nailed it.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Seven seven. I always knew he would have seven kids.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So these guys always pick such interesting topics to discuss
when they are here every month. Last week last month,
when you guys are on, we were talking all about
ozempic and the difficulties that some people are going through
once they've been on ozempic or not even ozampic.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But there's a lot of jaippy ones. Yeah, like knockoff
brand right right.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
And now you're getting your scene. I right, you're seeing
tooth rods, tooth decay, You're seeing a lot of side
effects start to happen. There's a two billion dollar lawsuit
against that.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Say that again, the creator a two billion dollar Yeah, yeah,
I saw that on social media.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I thought, yeah, it was huge. And that's just the beginning.
It's just the beginning. So we nailed it. I mean
last last month when we were in here, we were saying,
we're seeing all kinds of things coming into us, and
here's how you can prevent coming in to see us.
You know, don't take this drug. It's really really.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
It's just a yeah, and if you do, it should
be a compounded with you know, B six. There's some
other things, and you have to go to a real
physician if you're going to go through allopathic routes. First
ask what the side effects are, because there's a long,
long list and if it seems to get to be true,
(02:52):
it probably is.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But do you guys understand the need and the desire
for this.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
People want that quick, easy fit to lose weight.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And honestly, I have known people that I haven't seen
in quite some time, and when I see them, they're
like half their personnel because they did lose all that weight.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And that's true, but to what costs?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Right? Plus, it's just saying that, oh zebic, the reason
it works is because it is mimicking fasting, So why
don't you learn how to fast correctly and do that.
It doesn't cost you anything, there's no side effect to it,
and you still lose weight. And how often do you
have to fast if it's going to be effective? They're
saying that you can do intermittent fasting, which is you
(03:38):
limit your eating to a certain number of hours.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Per day so you're body twelve hours at night, in
and of itself, allows for the human growth hormone to
be released so that you can have cellular regeneration. It
allows for a proper cellular metabolism. It allows for digestive
properties to be restored. Actually just restored.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But they're really saying, you know, if you can fast
sixteen hours, so like you eat maybe at six in
the morning and have your last meal at two o'clock
in the afternoon, and then don't eat dinner, don't snack,
don't eat dinner. Then you do that twice a week,
so it's not like all the time. You don't have
to do it every single day. Do it twice a week.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But people aren't coming to you, and I say you
because it's the Avenue Wellness Center, there's no E on Avenue.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It ends with you because the focus is on you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They're not necessarily coming to you your clients to lose
weight though, but they're coming to you from different side effects, so.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Weight classes oftentimes a happy side effects.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's from the Avenue Wellness Center.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, absolutely focus, but we do have some people who
do I mean, we have therapies, we have things that
we can do to assist help someone with the whole
body vibration plate, the hyperbaric excelf will help lose weight.
There are things that we do that can, but generally speaking,
people come to us for more serious things neuropathy, broken bones, concussions, TBI, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer's,
(05:10):
you know, all sorts of major irritable bowel, diverticulitis, all
those types of things. After surgery, you know, wounds that
won't heal, bones that don't heal, osteoporosis, major, major, major things.
But the thing is that excess of weight can cause
a lot of those. So if they come in for
(05:31):
that and get their weight under control. We also do
things like nutritional counseling. We do, you know, we look
at the whole gamut. When someone comes in. We don't
just throw them in a hyperbaric chamber. We say how
much do you sleep at night? Are you a good sleeper?
Do you have sleep apnea? You know? How many hours
do you sleep? How much water do you drink throughout
(05:53):
the day?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Do you drink alcohol?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Stop you right there, because I think those two things
that you just mentioned are so important in.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Everyday life healthwise.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Drinking water and getting enough sleep really and how many
people really don't get enough sleep, and how many people
don't drink enough water.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, people who don't drink enough water. And my
mom was one of these, and actually Kimberly's mom was
the same. They get older and they stopped drinking water.
So then what happens They get dizzy. It seems like
they have dementia. Well, dehydration is serious, right, but it's
because they're not drinking enough water.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Your brain requires water to be able to function properly.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But you know what's sad.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think that is such a normal thing when people
are aging.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I remember going through it with my mom.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We basically would beg her, make sure you're drinking enough water.
And we even got these little it's kind of a
hydrated package that you would.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Put in water to Yes, exactly, That's what I was
trying to think of.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Interestingly enough, some of those packets actually dehydrate you and
something else for people to remember. They'll go for tea
because they think, but it's water coffee, but there's water
in it. Those are dehydrating agents, and effect coffee dehydrate you.
I'm sorry, I'm not telling you you can't everything. Moderation
over deprivation. But if you do drink something dehydrating like
alcohol or tea or diet pop or pop in general,
(07:17):
just remember that you have to double up on that water.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But what you just said is really scary. People drink electrolytes.
They use electrolytes to double their hydration, right, but their.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Body is meant to create electrolytes from the food that
they drink they eat.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You're better off if you take a gallon of water
and take some really good Celtic salt and put Celtic
salt down in the water because the Celtic salt has
minerals in it, and it's much much better for you
to drink that make your own electrolyte then to take
packets from the store because they have all sorts of
other things in them too. If you look at them,
(07:51):
they're like, oh, do I really want to be putting
that in my body?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And the salt is great, but remember that you can
have sodium. Sodium's good. What's the first thing that they
give you when you go to the hospital. They give
you saline, so salt water salt, adding salt, good healthy
salt is great. But if you don't have potassium in
your system, then that salt could harm you. You have
to have the right amount of potassium. It's like zinc
(08:14):
and cover. You have to have the right amount of
potassium with the salt.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So how do you show that, Like, the average person
doesn't know what the right but the average person shouldn't
have so crazy, right, the average person shouldn't have to
worry about it as long as they're eating a whole
food rich diet.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Like if you have spinach, you're getting enough potassium. Okay,
if there are certain things. So really, so when it
comes to diet, do the u diet right, Do the
diet that's best for your body. Do an elimination diet.
If you feel like crap all the time, it's your lifestyle.
So you have to observe your lifestyle and every way.
And remember, these food companies are going against us.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They're not going for us.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
They're trying to trigger your addictive receptors, right, so we're
also working against that. It's not just pharmacy, it's food
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But let's let's go back to the water for a minute.
So let's say someone comes in and they're they're getting
a little bit older and they're not having bowel movements
like they would like. So they've got constipation, So what
do they start doing? Popping pills for constipation? They're looking
at this and that. A lot of times it's just
they're dehydrated, right, they just are not drinking enough.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
But I think it goes back to people want that
quick fix. They want to pop a pill for anything,
and they drink.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Two glasses of water and a couple of.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Creams, and that'll help the constipation fix truly could be water.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I have a drink of water.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, Corney comes in and she has a gallon jug
that she brings in glass because we don't want it
in plastic because you get the microplastics. But she has
a gallon jug of water that she brings in and
she drinks that all day long. Now I have my
little I have this and I just keep refilling it
because we have yes so because I like mine cold.
(09:57):
And I know some people say don't drink cold water,
but I like it cool.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And why don't you?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Why are you not supposed to drink cold winter because
I've always heard that too.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's supposed to be room temperature.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Supposed to be for your digestives, isn't you're pretty warm inside.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's okay, so you can drink cold wine. Don't think
you need to.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think let's not nitpick on the healthy semantics. Let's
just look at the overall health and make it easier
on people.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You guys have a phone call. We have about a minute, Danta.
Do you have a question for the ladies from the
Avenue Wellness Center? You are on the line or right
now are six ten to b TV and hotline Dana.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You're talking about weight loss. My mother always told me, one,
you are what you eat. Two. If you eat, if
you eat like a pig, data you're going to look
like a hog. That's right, Joe I always told us,
don't ever eat eat the right food. I grew up
on a farm. We grew a lot of our own stuff.
(10:49):
I still grow a lot of stuff now and pot
for my own health. And everybody's star changing and their
diets could drinks and all the always snacks. I hope
snap does cut the sugar drinks and snacks out, and
it'll help a lot with solving our diabetes here and
(11:11):
especially Kalamus. I think there's a highest. It has a
seventeen point out. I brought a lot out of their steaks.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, Dana, you're spot on.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Thank you Dana for calling in. You guys have about
twenty seconds to respond to that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What do you say?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This is how Rebecca lives. She lives on a farm
and she brings in healthy food to us.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, I raise chickens. We have tomatoes that are a
pounds and a half right now. They're just gorgeous. They're
called German pinks. We have those. We have our own garlic.
My daughter makes all of our own spices, garlic, salt,
garlic powder, everything we make for our own earth.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So do you agree with what Dana was saying?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh, absolutely absolutely. I'd like to see schools actually grow
gardens so the kids still learn how to grow.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Do they do it like it's a community project in
their school and within their community. They do have that
type of garden that the kids go out and work in.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's meant to be we the people and the people.
We the people need to take responsibility of our own
bodies and responsibility of our own communities.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
We the people.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So we're going to come back because there were a
couple of different things that you wanted to hit on.
Today's stomach issues is one thing, and then there was
something else that you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Wanted to do, some type of a pump.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, protons stomachers, that's the same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yes, proton pumps, proton pump inhibitors.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
We're going to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Also, a friend of mine just text me a picture
of something and she wants me to ask you about this.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It's a way of losing weight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It doesn't revolve it doesn't revolve anything around medication.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's something that she's doing. So think about that, and
you guys, stay tuned because we're going to talk more.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We're going to get you healthy. We're in a mood
to get all of our listeners healthy. You live life
better when you're healthier.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Right, getting ald out of your house and come to
the end.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
We'll we write back everybody your.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
What calm pump? Did you call it?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Proton pump inhibitors.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Proton pump inhibitors or your aka stomach issues.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
We had someone right into me.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Her name is Joy and she's listening right now and
she heard you, guys mention the vibrating plates for weight loss.
She said she had a physical therapist on't say motion
is lotion for your body? So just dive in a
little bit more how these vibrating plates work, and you
kind of have a funny story of why you don't
necessarily want to call them vibrating plates.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, we prefer to call them whole body vibration because
it's for the whole body. This is not a vibrator
per se.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You got a little bit of your vibration.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, So what it does is you stand on it,
and there are different ones, so they have different types
of vibration. They'll have oscillating or they'll have you know,
the plate goes different directions. Our actually stands on it
and you can hold on to it because if you
ramp up the intensity, you know, you can cause yourself
(14:03):
to be off balance. But it's intended for balance, for circulation,
and when you get your circulation going, then you can
get rid of inflammation. You get rid of inflammation, and
you will lose some water weight to begin with.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She said, it's take it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah. And then also if you do exercises while you're
on them, it increases the difficulty of doing it. While
you're on this plate, you're vibrating, and so your must
have to compensate.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I bet it's so good for your core.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yes, so it's it's not just I mean it's good
for the inside muscles truly. I mean it's good for
uterine prolapse. It's good for so many like rectal prolapse.
It's good for so many things, and even without needing
to do an exercise on it in and of itself,
is creating a muscular skeletal exercise. So it's making you squeeze,
(14:53):
contract tighten the tiny muscles throughout your body, the balancer muscles,
and in that only become more stable in your ambulatory capacity,
so your ability to just walk, you become more stable.
But it makes you stronger throughout your entire body. And
ours has a vestibular an oscillating effect which stimulates the
(15:17):
vestibular system in between ear, so it's training your brain.
It's making you smarter as well as creating an anaerobic
and an aerobic workout.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're talking to Courtney and Rebecca from the Avenue Wellness Center.
Look it up while we're on the air with them.
It's such an interesting place that they have there, the
Avenue Ave n U Wellness Center. You know, you bring
up inflammation, and I do think that's one of the
number one causes of so many people's health issues, especially
when it comes to stomach issues that you wanted to
(15:45):
talk about.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well, it is they say that eighty percent of all
diseases have an inflammatory component. So even if you have
a back problem, you know, you have stenosis, you have something,
you get inflammation around that spine, which then causes pain.
It causes your spine to go off in directions it's
(16:06):
not supposed to go. You have an ankle injury, you
have a broken bone, you get all sorts of inflammation,
and so that I always say inflammation is enemy number one.
That's the first thing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We have to see that. I can absolutely see that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And once you get rid of the inflammation, a lot
of times the pain level goes down dramatically, I mean instantaneously,
even before the healing of something actually starts.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
So what are this pump that you want to talk about?
Talk about this pump?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Okay, So people who have acid reflux or gastric problems,
you know, they have upset stomachs, they'll get on these
proton pump inhibitors, things like nexium, prep pepsid, pyla sac
you know, there's two or three that are prescribed prevaced.
They are prescribed routinely, and they are by prescription. So
(16:56):
this is not your pepsid ac or you know, just
your little over the counter things. These are proton pump
inhibitors prescribed by your doctor. The warnings on these when
you take them, if you look them up online, say
they're not supposed to be taken for more than I believe.
It's two weeks at a time, fourteen days, twice a year.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But people seem to be on them for years NonStop.
We're seeing a real issue with that. And here's the thing.
Proton pump inhibitors and in a study it was short
term use and long term use affected the white matter
in the brain. And we know now that they may
increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease and cognitive issues
(17:41):
like dementia.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
We know that now.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
It is multiple peer reviewed studies have proven this and
people We had a client recently and she was there
for dementia and we were looking and we're doing so
much and then we see the pharmaceutical list and we say,
how long have you been on this PPI and her
husband said, well, it's been it's been over two years.
And I said, non stop, and he said yes. He
(18:05):
was nervous about contacting her physician to say that he
didn't want her on it anymore. He contacts the physician.
The physician said, oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense. Let's
get her off right now. He said, doesn't she need
to tit trate since she's been on it so long.
Physician said, no, she shouldn't have been on it. That
was on me.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
But I think that's what the Avenue Wellness Center is
all about. Because everyone is different. Yes, everybody is giving
all this different information, feeding them from all different avenues,
whether it's TikTok, a doctor, everything, and the Avenue Wellness
Center explores every different option more in a natural way
and can get your body back to where it should
(18:42):
be instead of just masquerading problems.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We just want you.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
We want you to advocate for yourself. We want we
want you to take responsibility here and understand because a
lot of the time we just don't understand the information
behind these products. So instead of going right to the
doctor and saying.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Fix me, fix me, let's look in let's find the
source to you.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
All right, guys, we are going to continue this conversation,
but we came back right away, though we have to
play rivia. You guys are gonna love the topic nursery rhymes.
That was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up. I never
saw a purple cow. I never hoped to see one,
but I can tell you anyhow i'd rather see than
be one that's.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Not on the Rivia game.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But hopefully someone's listening and realizes and remembers that nursery rhyme.
We have other ones that are really generic, like every
Day that everybody's heard of.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I have to admit I've.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Never heard of that one, but I like it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It's a classic.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So if you know your nursery rhymes, and I'm talking simple,
easy things.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I just thought we'd have a little bit of fun
because a couple of days ago it was National Tooth
Fairy Day, so I thought I will do some nursery rhymes.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We we'll go back to our kidhood, our childhood.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Call us up at sixty one four eight two one
nine eight eight six six one four eight two one
nine eighty six. Let's have some fun with nursery rhymes.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Pete.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We have two different producers today, so they don't have
you number. Hopefully you are listening, and you will call in.
Because he's our reigning champion. Someone's got to go up
against Pete. Call us up, guys. Let's have some nursery
rhyme fun six one four eight two one nine
All right, Courtney and Rebecca, we're on the air, so
we're gonna get situated here as Aladdin Zach leave the studio.
They were awesome. We're so glad that you joined us
for that first hour. Rebecca and Courtney are moving in switching.
It's like musical microphones, right, you know it was what
(00:38):
was the game we used to play? But you would
rotate chair musical chair?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, I could remember it. I swear to gosh, you
get close to sixty and your mind goes.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
You need to commend to us for some memory care.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I really might have to.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
So these are the ladies from the Avenue Wellness Center,
Rebecca and Courtney. They are also in every month, just
like Ladd and Zach are. And it is such a
small world old when you are connected through raw with
Boots in me because Courtney, you walked in here and
you're like, oh my gosh, you've known Zach for how
many years?
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's been over twenty Yeah, one of the most trustworthy right, yeah, right,
I need to go to the Avenue. He's one of
the most trustworthy people I've ever met in my life.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
And you haven't seen them though in probably years.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Yeah, twenty some years, but you just know that that family,
they're good people.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And I asked her right away, I'm like, how many
kids you think he has? Now you nailed it.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Seven seven. I always knew he would have seven kids.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
So these guys always pick such interesting topics to discuss
when they are here every month. Last week last month,
when you guys are on, we were talking all about
ozempic and the difficulties that some people are going through
once they've been on ozempic or not even ozampic.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
But there's a lot of jaippy ones. Yeah, like knockoff
brand right right.
Speaker 4 (01:58):
And now you're getting your scene. I right, you're seeing
tooth rods, tooth decay, You're seeing a lot of side
effects start to happen. There's a two billion dollar lawsuit
against that.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Say that again, the creator a two billion dollar Yeah, yeah,
I saw that on social media.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
I thought, yeah, it was huge. And that's just the beginning.
It's just the beginning. So we nailed it. I mean
last last month when we were in here, we were saying,
we're seeing all kinds of things coming into us, and
here's how you can prevent coming in to see us.
You know, don't take this drug. It's really really.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
It's just a yeah, and if you do, it should
be a compounded with you know, B six. There's some
other things, and you have to go to a real
physician if you're going to go through allopathic routes. First
ask what the side effects are, because there's a long,
long list and if it seems to get to be true,
(02:52):
it probably is.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But do you guys understand the need and the desire
for this.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
People want that quick, easy fit to lose weight.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
And honestly, I have known people that I haven't seen
in quite some time, and when I see them, they're
like half their personnel because they did lose all that weight.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
And that's true, but to what costs?
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Right?
Speaker 3 (03:15):
Right? Plus, it's just saying that, oh zebic, the reason
it works is because it is mimicking fasting, So why
don't you learn how to fast correctly and do that.
It doesn't cost you anything, there's no side effect to it,
and you still lose weight. And how often do you
have to fast if it's going to be effective? They're
saying that you can do intermittent fasting, which is you
(03:38):
limit your eating to a certain number of hours.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Per day so you're body twelve hours at night, in
and of itself, allows for the human growth hormone to
be released so that you can have cellular regeneration. It
allows for a proper cellular metabolism. It allows for digestive
properties to be restored. Actually just restored.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
But they're really saying, you know, if you can fast
sixteen hours, so like you eat maybe at six in
the morning and have your last meal at two o'clock
in the afternoon, and then don't eat dinner, don't snack,
don't eat dinner. Then you do that twice a week,
so it's not like all the time. You don't have
to do it every single day. Do it twice a week.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
But people aren't coming to you, and I say you
because it's the Avenue Wellness Center, there's no E on Avenue.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It ends with you because the focus is on you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
They're not necessarily coming to you your clients to lose
weight though, but they're coming to you from different side effects, so.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Weight classes oftentimes a happy side effects.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
It's from the Avenue Wellness Center.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yes, absolutely focus, but we do have some people who
do I mean, we have therapies, we have things that
we can do to assist help someone with the whole
body vibration plate, the hyperbaric excelf will help lose weight.
There are things that we do that can, but generally speaking,
people come to us for more serious things neuropathy, broken bones, concussions, TBI, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer's,
(05:10):
you know, all sorts of major irritable bowel, diverticulitis, all
those types of things. After surgery, you know, wounds that
won't heal, bones that don't heal, osteoporosis, major, major, major things.
But the thing is that excess of weight can cause
a lot of those. So if they come in for
(05:31):
that and get their weight under control. We also do
things like nutritional counseling. We do, you know, we look
at the whole gamut. When someone comes in. We don't
just throw them in a hyperbaric chamber. We say how
much do you sleep at night? Are you a good sleeper?
Do you have sleep apnea? You know? How many hours
do you sleep? How much water do you drink throughout
(05:53):
the day?
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Do you drink alcohol?
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Stop you right there, because I think those two things
that you just mentioned are so important in.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Everyday life healthwise.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Drinking water and getting enough sleep really and how many
people really don't get enough sleep, and how many people
don't drink enough water.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
You know, people who don't drink enough water. And my
mom was one of these, and actually Kimberly's mom was
the same. They get older and they stopped drinking water.
So then what happens They get dizzy. It seems like
they have dementia. Well, dehydration is serious, right, but it's
because they're not drinking enough water.
Speaker 4 (06:29):
Your brain requires water to be able to function properly.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
But you know what's sad.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
I think that is such a normal thing when people
are aging.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I remember going through it with my mom.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
We basically would beg her, make sure you're drinking enough water.
And we even got these little it's kind of a
hydrated package that you would.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Put in water to Yes, exactly, That's what I was
trying to think of.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Interestingly enough, some of those packets actually dehydrate you and
something else for people to remember. They'll go for tea
because they think, but it's water coffee, but there's water
in it. Those are dehydrating agents, and effect coffee dehydrate you.
I'm sorry, I'm not telling you you can't everything. Moderation
over deprivation. But if you do drink something dehydrating like
alcohol or tea or diet pop or pop in general,
(07:17):
just remember that you have to double up on that water.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
But what you just said is really scary. People drink electrolytes.
They use electrolytes to double their hydration, right, but their.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Body is meant to create electrolytes from the food that
they drink they eat.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
You're better off if you take a gallon of water
and take some really good Celtic salt and put Celtic
salt down in the water because the Celtic salt has
minerals in it, and it's much much better for you
to drink that make your own electrolyte then to take
packets from the store because they have all sorts of
other things in them too. If you look at them,
(07:51):
they're like, oh, do I really want to be putting
that in my body?
Speaker 4 (07:54):
And the salt is great, but remember that you can
have sodium. Sodium's good. What's the first thing that they
give you when you go to the hospital. They give
you saline, so salt water salt, adding salt, good healthy
salt is great. But if you don't have potassium in
your system, then that salt could harm you. You have
to have the right amount of potassium. It's like zinc
(08:14):
and cover. You have to have the right amount of
potassium with the salt.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
So how do you show that, Like, the average person
doesn't know what the right but the average person shouldn't
have so crazy, right, the average person shouldn't have to
worry about it as long as they're eating a whole
food rich diet.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
Like if you have spinach, you're getting enough potassium. Okay,
if there are certain things. So really, so when it
comes to diet, do the u diet right, Do the
diet that's best for your body. Do an elimination diet.
If you feel like crap all the time, it's your lifestyle.
So you have to observe your lifestyle and every way.
And remember, these food companies are going against us.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
They're not going for us.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
They're trying to trigger your addictive receptors, right, so we're
also working against that. It's not just pharmacy, it's food
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
But let's let's go back to the water for a minute.
So let's say someone comes in and they're they're getting
a little bit older and they're not having bowel movements
like they would like. So they've got constipation, So what
do they start doing? Popping pills for constipation? They're looking
at this and that. A lot of times it's just
they're dehydrated, right, they just are not drinking enough.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
But I think it goes back to people want that
quick fix. They want to pop a pill for anything,
and they drink.
Speaker 3 (09:27):
Two glasses of water and a couple of.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Creams, and that'll help the constipation fix truly could be water.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I have a drink of water.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Yeah, Corney comes in and she has a gallon jug
that she brings in glass because we don't want it
in plastic because you get the microplastics. But she has
a gallon jug of water that she brings in and
she drinks that all day long. Now I have my
little I have this and I just keep refilling it
because we have yes so because I like mine cold.
(09:57):
And I know some people say don't drink cold water,
but I like it cool.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
And why don't you?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Why are you not supposed to drink cold winter because
I've always heard that too.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
It's supposed to be room temperature.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Supposed to be for your digestives, isn't you're pretty warm inside.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
It's okay, so you can drink cold wine. Don't think
you need to.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I think let's not nitpick on the healthy semantics. Let's
just look at the overall health and make it easier
on people.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
You guys have a phone call. We have about a minute, Danta.
Do you have a question for the ladies from the
Avenue Wellness Center? You are on the line or right
now are six ten to b TV and hotline Dana.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
You're talking about weight loss. My mother always told me, one,
you are what you eat. Two. If you eat, if
you eat like a pig, data you're going to look
like a hog. That's right, Joe I always told us,
don't ever eat eat the right food. I grew up
on a farm. We grew a lot of our own stuff.
(10:49):
I still grow a lot of stuff now and pot
for my own health. And everybody's star changing and their
diets could drinks and all the always snacks. I hope
snap does cut the sugar drinks and snacks out, and
it'll help a lot with solving our diabetes here and
(11:11):
especially Kalamus. I think there's a highest. It has a
seventeen point out. I brought a lot out of their steaks.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Yeah, Dana, you're spot on.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Thank you Dana for calling in. You guys have about
twenty seconds to respond to that.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
What do you say?
Speaker 4 (11:25):
This is how Rebecca lives. She lives on a farm
and she brings in healthy food to us.
Speaker 3 (11:29):
No, I raise chickens. We have tomatoes that are a
pounds and a half right now. They're just gorgeous. They're
called German pinks. We have those. We have our own garlic.
My daughter makes all of our own spices, garlic, salt,
garlic powder, everything we make for our own earth.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
So do you agree with what Dana was saying?
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Oh, absolutely absolutely. I'd like to see schools actually grow
gardens so the kids still learn how to grow.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Do they do it like it's a community project in
their school and within their community. They do have that
type of garden that the kids go out and work in.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
It's meant to be we the people and the people.
We the people need to take responsibility of our own
bodies and responsibility of our own communities.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
We the people.
Speaker 1 (12:09):
So we're going to come back because there were a
couple of different things that you wanted to hit on.
Today's stomach issues is one thing, and then there was
something else that you.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Wanted to do, some type of a pump.
Speaker 4 (12:18):
Yeah, protons stomachers, that's the same thing.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
Yes, proton pumps, proton pump inhibitors.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
We're going to talk about that.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Also, a friend of mine just text me a picture
of something and she wants me to ask you about this.
Speaker 2 (12:31):
It's a way of losing weight.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It doesn't revolve it doesn't revolve anything around medication.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
It's something that she's doing. So think about that, and
you guys, stay tuned because we're going to talk more.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
We're going to get you healthy. We're in a mood
to get all of our listeners healthy. You live life
better when you're healthier.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Right, getting ald out of your house and come to
the end.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
We'll we write back everybody your.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
What calm pump? Did you call it?
Speaker 4 (13:02):
Proton pump inhibitors.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Proton pump inhibitors or your aka stomach issues.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
We had someone right into me.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Her name is Joy and she's listening right now and
she heard you, guys mention the vibrating plates for weight loss.
She said she had a physical therapist on't say motion
is lotion for your body? So just dive in a
little bit more how these vibrating plates work, and you
kind of have a funny story of why you don't
necessarily want to call them vibrating plates.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Well, we prefer to call them whole body vibration because
it's for the whole body. This is not a vibrator
per se.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
You got a little bit of your vibration.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
Yes, So what it does is you stand on it,
and there are different ones, so they have different types
of vibration. They'll have oscillating or they'll have you know,
the plate goes different directions. Our actually stands on it
and you can hold on to it because if you
ramp up the intensity, you know, you can cause yourself
(14:03):
to be off balance. But it's intended for balance, for circulation,
and when you get your circulation going, then you can
get rid of inflammation. You get rid of inflammation, and
you will lose some water weight to begin with.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
She said, it's take it's incredible.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah. And then also if you do exercises while you're
on them, it increases the difficulty of doing it. While
you're on this plate, you're vibrating, and so your must
have to compensate.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
I bet it's so good for your core.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
Yes, so it's it's not just I mean it's good
for the inside muscles truly. I mean it's good for
uterine prolapse. It's good for so many like rectal prolapse.
It's good for so many things, and even without needing
to do an exercise on it in and of itself,
is creating a muscular skeletal exercise. So it's making you squeeze,
(14:53):
contract tighten the tiny muscles throughout your body, the balancer muscles,
and in that only become more stable in your ambulatory capacity,
so your ability to just walk, you become more stable.
But it makes you stronger throughout your entire body. And
ours has a vestibular an oscillating effect which stimulates the
(15:17):
vestibular system in between ear, so it's training your brain.
It's making you smarter as well as creating an anaerobic
and an aerobic workout.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
We're talking to Courtney and Rebecca from the Avenue Wellness Center.
Look it up while we're on the air with them.
It's such an interesting place that they have there, the
Avenue Ave n U Wellness Center. You know, you bring
up inflammation, and I do think that's one of the
number one causes of so many people's health issues, especially
when it comes to stomach issues that you wanted to
(15:45):
talk about.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
Well, it is they say that eighty percent of all
diseases have an inflammatory component. So even if you have
a back problem, you know, you have stenosis, you have something,
you get inflammation around that spine, which then causes pain.
It causes your spine to go off in directions it's
(16:06):
not supposed to go. You have an ankle injury, you
have a broken bone, you get all sorts of inflammation,
and so that I always say inflammation is enemy number one.
That's the first thing.
Speaker 2 (16:18):
We have to see that. I can absolutely see that.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
And once you get rid of the inflammation, a lot
of times the pain level goes down dramatically, I mean instantaneously,
even before the healing of something actually starts.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
So what are this pump that you want to talk about?
Talk about this pump?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Okay, So people who have acid reflux or gastric problems,
you know, they have upset stomachs, they'll get on these
proton pump inhibitors, things like nexium, prep pepsid, pyla sac
you know, there's two or three that are prescribed prevaced.
They are prescribed routinely, and they are by prescription. So
(16:56):
this is not your pepsid ac or you know, just
your little over the counter things. These are proton pump
inhibitors prescribed by your doctor. The warnings on these when
you take them, if you look them up online, say
they're not supposed to be taken for more than I believe.
It's two weeks at a time, fourteen days, twice a year.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
But people seem to be on them for years NonStop.
We're seeing a real issue with that. And here's the thing.
Proton pump inhibitors and in a study it was short
term use and long term use affected the white matter
in the brain. And we know now that they may
increase the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's disease and cognitive issues
(17:41):
like dementia.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
We know that now.
Speaker 4 (17:43):
It is multiple peer reviewed studies have proven this and
people We had a client recently and she was there
for dementia and we were looking and we're doing so
much and then we see the pharmaceutical list and we say,
how long have you been on this PPI and her
husband said, well, it's been it's been over two years.
And I said, non stop, and he said yes. He
(18:05):
was nervous about contacting her physician to say that he
didn't want her on it anymore. He contacts the physician.
The physician said, oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense. Let's
get her off right now. He said, doesn't she need
to tit trate since she's been on it so long.
Physician said, no, she shouldn't have been on it. That
was on me.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
But I think that's what the Avenue Wellness Center is
all about. Because everyone is different. Yes, everybody is giving
all this different information, feeding them from all different avenues,
whether it's TikTok, a doctor, everything, and the Avenue Wellness
Center explores every different option more in a natural way
and can get your body back to where it should
(18:42):
be instead of just masquerading problems.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
We just want you.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
We want you to advocate for yourself. We want we
want you to take responsibility here and understand because a
lot of the time we just don't understand the information
behind these products. So instead of going right to the
doctor and saying.
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Fix me, fix me, let's look in let's find the
source to you.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
All right, guys, we are going to continue this conversation,
but we came back right away, though we have to
play rivia. You guys are gonna love the topic nursery rhymes.
That was your favorite nursery rhyme growing up. I never
saw a purple cow. I never hoped to see one,
but I can tell you anyhow i'd rather see than
be one that's.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Not on the Rivia game.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
But hopefully someone's listening and realizes and remembers that nursery rhyme.
We have other ones that are really generic, like every
Day that everybody's heard of.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
I have to admit I've.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
Never heard of that one, but I like it.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
It's a classic.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So if you know your nursery rhymes, and I'm talking simple,
easy things.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
I just thought we'd have a little bit of fun
because a couple of days ago it was National Tooth
Fairy Day, so I thought I will do some nursery rhymes.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
We we'll go back to our kidhood, our childhood.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Call us up at sixty one four eight two one
nine eight eight six six one four eight two one
