Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh shot, mister Sean play ball. You don't have to
treat me so well every week, but thank you kindly.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Try to match the energy, try to keep the keep
the flow going.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm trying to get my energy like down a little bit, dude.
It's been like a little bit. I cut caffeine, you know,
anyway I'm cutting off go ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, no, no, it's interest excited. It's just like when
you mentioned that, you know, things like cutting caffeine or
those types of people don't always think about that, but
you do get like there's like an energy boost to
when you Obviously at first it's not easy, but once
you kind of get into it, all of a sudden,
your body like responds like I'm gonna make my own energy.
I don't need I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, I've seen it with my brother first. So he
kind of got into jiu jitsu a few years back,
and he's kind of a health enthusiast, you know, and
his energy I noticed kept going up and then his
like caffeine consumption went to zero. And it's it's really
interesting because I've grown up on caffeine, you know, my mom,
(00:58):
you know, just talking about like health and and you
know it's coffee, right, like folders in your cup, like
we all know that commercial and like the smell and
it's like part of my life and it's such an experience.
So you know, then you find like clean organic caffeine
in nineteen years at my mom's health food store, you know,
(01:18):
and then so that became my like afternoon. So then
it's like coffee in the morning. Which I don't think
coffee is bad for you. There's there's a chlorogenic acid
that's anti cancer, Like specifically there's a cool clinical trial
on prostate cancer with coffee clergenic acid, and I don't
I don't think it's bad for you. I think like
depends how your body's wired. So for me, I'm like excitable.
(01:41):
I sort of like have been like trying to remove
explanation points to like every sentence that I have because
I just get super excited about people's lives and my
life and my family's life and my kid's life, like
at a Buddy night last night. So anyway, I'm just
like my energy keeps going up. We have this amazing
like team right now that I'm so thankful for at
(02:02):
our stores, our three stores here in Madison. And then
We're launching this this Foundational Care Holistic clinic in January
and the vision right now to truly impact anyway, So
my energy keeps going up, so I'm like, how do
I So I cut my afternoon clean caffeine, still doing
the coffee, but I'm like, should I cut the cup?
(02:24):
So I'm just sort of interested. I would encourage you
if you're listening, like like like just sort of separate
your life a little bit in the sense of it's
like separate yourself from your thoughts and your emotions, right
and like become the observer of those things. And I've
been doing that for like the last year because I
read this book that just kind of like, hey, you're
not your thoughts, you know, you're not your emotions. And
(02:46):
that kind of hit me because I always thought my
thoughts and emotions were like me, you know, and they're
like nah, so they don't have to control me. So anyway,
we're kind of getting, you know, deep into that. But
boit take a peek at your life and things like
caffeine you know, you know, on off, or things like
you know, process foods or just walking more, I mean sleep,
(03:06):
like being aware of your sleep patterns. You know and
like your stress patterns, and I sort of went, I've
been sort of open about this. I went most of
my life like being very passionate in certain areas of
my health, but then like not paying attention to these
other areas of my health like stress or even activity,
you know. Like like so as I turn forward, you know,
you start to reflect. And anyway, I would encourage you
(03:28):
all to like consider, like if you're listening now, like
maybe this is for you, maybe you need to stop
and sort of like separate yourself because life is so
fast and you can just find yourself running so fast
for ten years and being like oh okay and looking
around for a hot second.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's it's pretty it's pretty amazing too, and I think
a lot of folks relate to that as well. And
one of the great things is we had a chance
to talk with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place each
and every Wednesday morning right here on thirteen ten, WIBA
give you an opportunity to get on the air. If
you've got a question, I got to just pick up
phone gives call six so eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six so eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll
get you on there with Tim O'Brien. Tim, we'll get
(04:06):
you a twenty five dollars gift card to the Healthy Place.
Speaking of the Healthy Place and it being a Wednesday,
what a great data stop on in whether it's the
West Side Fitchburg er Sun Prairie location in the Healthy Place.
But since it's a Weddy Wednesday, an extra special bonus.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
On Weesday in the stores on Wednesday. I decided that
a little bit ago, and every Wednesday ten to five
Fitchburg store, you just stop buy for a high five,
or you want a console, you're just curious what supplements
are working for our community. You stop on buy.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's a great day to get on into the Healthy
Place Again. Tim's hanging out Fitchburg location. It's a Wednesday'd
love to see I love to get that high five,
love to do that consultation. You can also, of course
do online at find your Healthy Place dot com. Well's
consultants there West Side Fitchburg and Sun's Prairie location in
the store. Also, phone lines are open six so eight, three, two, one,
thirteen ten. If that's not enough. If you are on

YouTube channel also, Man, there's also many ways to reach out.
Email Tim at find your Healthy Place dot com. That's
Tim ti Am at find your Healthy Place dot com.
As a matter of fact, Mark wrote in Mark says,
I try to stay active with walking in yard work,
but my knees and hips still get stiff. Are there
(05:17):
certain supplements that can actually help me and my joints
get moving easier? And that email comes to us from.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Mark Mark, great question. This is super common. And you
know it's like I skateboarded when I was in my
teens and just like jumped off of buildings to be cool.
I guess, I don't know, like, and my knees are
like shot and they click and they literally wake up,
like if we have a baby in the bed, like
my knees clicking will. So if I take joint Jive
(05:46):
and I do the the therapeutic dose for like one month,
it is remarkable the difference that I feel. So joint
Jive by likely vitamin co. It's loaded. It's a four
capsule serving. So nobody likes taking pills. But the reason
we did it that way is because the secret in
this supplement industry is more nutrition creates more results, and
(06:07):
it's a secret for some reason. So we're like blowing
the lid off of it, blowers. But it's really remarkable
when you get more therapeutic amounts of these nutrients, so
you know, herbs like Devil's claw and nutrients like lubricating
nutrients like hyaluronic acid that will create some cushioning, some
cushioning between the knees and that and lubricates. Right, So elasticity,
(06:30):
range of motion, flexibility. That's been our top seller for
joints for some years. And I'd encourage two servings a
day for one month just to sort of open, get
the front door open, put the forest fire out. You'll
feel it so quickly, and then you can go down
to a one serving a day. But joint give lively
vitamin code. Loving it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Hey, that's interesting when you talk about that too, Tim
about and a great email mark because I think a
lot of times too, when folks call in or share
an email, I think it kind of gets the wheel
spinning for all of us. And you mentioned, you know,
being a skater when you were younger, and I think
for a lot of us, you know, a die. When
we're younger, we do all of these things and we
spring right back and everything's all good. Well, we don't
(07:13):
realize that some of those things are going to come
back to haunt us as we get older. And there's
a lot of people that just kind of accept saying
I'm getting older. My joints are gonna be creaky in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We know. And activity is you know, I got to
mention that, right because because die in activity are really
the number one, and they're like neck and neck as
far as which one's more important. Supplements is kind of
number three. I own a supplement store, so I talk
a lot about supplements. But I got to tell you, like,
activity does like like if well this you know, Mark
was saying he's active, others are not, and they kind
(07:43):
of like because of some of the pains, they sort
of sit down and I talk to them every day
and because it's a real battle, like the pain is
so high in order to be active that they're not
and it actually is the fight. You know, I'm a
little bit dramatic, So I got to call myself down.
But I'll kind of talk to him. I'll be like,
this is a little bit of a fork in the
road for you, because if we don't find a way
(08:06):
to get active, then everything starts to break down rapidly,
like super rapidly. So if you get into you know,
that's part of why we're open in this foundational care clinic.
You get into like foundational care longevity, like you want
to be healthier and less likely to xyz. So being
active is like so important. And so for those people
(08:28):
that the pain is so high, the goal is to
either a find something like swimming that they can do
still active daily, but the pain is manageable, and or
get the pain managed, like get the inflammation down in
the system, which is is you know, supplements like her
Cuman really help with basquelia, Like inflammation is an enemy
(08:48):
that we can attack from a supplement standpoint, Like get
the pain down, then you can become more active. Like
it's a little bit of a fight for their life.
And I talk to a guy I was I think
it was John, but I'm not sure. He was sixty
two and he was what he called very healthy at
the age sixty and then he broke his leg and
(09:11):
the next two years his health degraded rapidly and he
was going all around different specialists like this area of
my health, that area of my health, this area of
my health. And he mentioned that he completely stopped being
active at the age of sixty and so age sixty
two here two years later. The rapid progression. So it's
(09:34):
remarkable how fast that can happen and how important activity is.
So with joint jib activity, I mean even like if
you can start aout couple, you know, count your steps,
like if you can get to ten thousand steps today,
like that's such a healthy way of life.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You mentioned, you know, caping track of steps, other things.
I know back in the day used to have to
buy a special unit or have a watch school thing.
If you got a smartphone, they've all got those great
apps included right in them and you can do that. Yeah, yeah,
well count.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
To steps, like just know how active you are, and
then if if you know that, you know, then gamify
a little bit. I mean I'm add a little bit.
So I like, hey, a goal to reach and it's like,
all right, let's just go walk outside a little bit
to get two thousand more steps. Like we literally do
that every day, Becky and I.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
When I when I'm wearing my other it is a lot.
It's people don't realize. Yeah, not only is it is
it good for your health, but what a great it's
great to enjoy the outdoors. It's a great to enjoy companies.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah. Yeah, I move in like your thought process, like
I get my head clear. I mean, it's dress goes down.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It is so good for you. And you know, kind
of in my other role here at the station is
you know, kind of working behind the scenes. And I
always use the phrase, I'll say, you can't manage what
you can't measure, and the same thing with steps and
other things. It's important to have some data. And I
know kind of and we'll talk a little bit about
you mentioned the big announcement coming up early in the
new year about the abhorrence of using measurement to manage things,
(10:56):
and we're going to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You really have to have data driven Madison, you know,
like that's that concept is so exciting to me, Like
how is your specific body wired? You know, like Becky
and I have these cgms, these continual glucose monitors, and
we did that because we read you know, Glucose Revolution
and Outlive by doctor Yadia, and our minds are just
(11:17):
kind of blown on this like basic sugar concept that
if you like eat this way. You know, for years
I would just eat carbs and starches on an empty stomach,
and I wouldn't really think anything of it because I
need to gain weight and I need energy to keep
moving forward, and those things gave me energy. But what
I didn't realize is if I'm having a bagel right
(11:39):
for a quick lunch on an empty stomach and say
it's just with like you know, not much on it,
there's no like heavy fats on it to help it
not shoot straight up in your bloodstream and spike your
insulin to Kingdom come. So I was literally doing that
for years, which led to some negative impacts to my health,
and I didn't know that going on. So a lot
(12:00):
of people either the sequence that they eat their food,
you know, it really should be veggies, protein, fats, then sugars, carbs,
like the sequence that you can change and have immediate
benefits in your sugar. And also like the way you eat.
So if you're gonna eat a bagel, like put something
fatty on it right, like avocado or or cream cheese
(12:21):
like like the I mean, it makes it taste better.
And those fats will actually make it healthier for your
system to you know, I don't promote any certain diets.
I don't really know much about it, but it's learn it.
I mean, those two books are kind of like life
changing books. So I'll say those again, Outlived by doctor
Audia and then Glucose Revolution. I need to remember her name,
and she's super funny. So both books are great and
(12:42):
those are life changing. But that's an example of you know,
we have this CGM and we're gonna be able to
connect that data with our clinic and so our practitioners
will be able to have licensed natural paths, will have
functional medicine doctors, we'll have nurse practitioners, we'll have our
ns on our and nutritive ivs and lab work, and
so having all the data or as much data as
(13:04):
we can have on timmy right when that practitioners looking
at my glucose levels for the last six months, or
they're looking at the Apple Watch, you know, like how
much activity have I been having on a regular basis,
Like what's my sleep patterns with my or ring? Like
what how am I? And you know, everyone doesn't have
these devices or the money for these things, so we
get that having the ability is the point more data
(13:26):
driven medicine than the better. Like you don't come in
and it's a cookie cutter sort of situation that you
have an intake, you fill out your history, the practitioner
looks at it, You build a forty five minute you know,
one hundred and ninety nine bucks, so the cost is
affordable for people, and then you get a flight path
based on your current standing on what to do next.
And you know, might be supplements, it might be nutrit ivs,
(13:47):
it might be lab work. I mean, nineteen percent of
people are walking around with a terminal illness they don't
even know it. So there's just a reason to sort
of be passionate about health in general, you know, not
just for you, like, but a lot of us need
need to be I mean I'm one of them, Like
wake up to your health and the community, like we
have to care about each other. Like there's so many
(14:08):
people suffering, and like what are we doing about it?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Talking now, it's it's pretty amazing as we talk about
not only what you're able to do at the healthy place,
So we look towards the future and new options as well,
and new things are going to be bringing to The
Healthy Place. You definitely want to stay tuned for all
that exciting news. If you've got a question for Tim Love,
do you have a joint us This one and six
soh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six eight
three two one thirteen ten and Gary joins us. Gary,
(14:31):
welcome to the program. You're on the air with Tim
O'Brien from The Healthy Place.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hey, Gary, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm just wondering if you have been having some issues
as planner fasciata is, do you have anything that can
help with that?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, that's no fun, man. How long you've been battling
that a few weeks? Pretty painful, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
If I keep it moving, it's better. But when you
sit down and take a break and then it titans up.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But if you'd all limbered up again, Yeah, it's terrible man.
I've talked to a lot of customers, never experienced it personally,
but that's no fun at all. Yet, we recommend getting
the inflammation down. So BCM ninety five kirkhuman is a
powerhouse form of Kirkhuman. There's always good, better, best when
it comes to nutrients. So BCM is one of the
best forms of Kirkcuman and fifteen hundred milligrams twice a
(15:23):
day is the dose we've been doing for plantofasci idis
and that's been pretty quick to reduce the inflammation and
become helpful. And then some folks will also get like
a Comfrey cream which is called like a trauma plant
or CBD topical or those are our top two sellers.
Like topically work brings, so say it's tightening up to
(15:45):
be able to put a topical on there that's anti
inflammatory and helps with pain and all that about five
minute impact for most people. Between either the Comfrey or
the CBD, they're both pretty good. People swear by both,
but that also has been helpful. And nerves play a role,
so if someone's really having a hard time, Urla poic
acid helps with the nerve inflammation and general anti inflammatory.
(16:08):
So people can get all three if they're really suffering,
or start with the Kirkcuman that fifteen hundred milligrams twice
a day, but just be sure to get a better
quality form of Kirkcuman like BCM or like a fightozomo
or likeozomo i meine kerkcu gin. Those are a few
of the higher absorbed forms of Kirkcuman and then the
(16:28):
product we sell that has that BCM in it is
Kira Health. See you are a health and then you
can shoot me an email too, dude, like Tim at
find your Healthy Place dot Com. I can send you
links for this or better yet, stop in the Fitchburg store.
I'll be over in the Fitchburg store today and our
whole team would know how to kind of come against
this plant. FREESCII I just for you from a supplement
(16:50):
side of things.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
All right, Thank you very much, Gary, Thank you for
the call. Great question. Get on in again. Today's great
day to get into the Healthy Place, whether it's West
Side Burger Sun Prairie location. Even better if you're in
the Fitchburg area, get on in. I know Tim would
love to see you, give you that high five. He's
there from nine from excuse me, from ten until five
today online find your Healthy Place dot Com. That's find
your Healthy Place dot Com. We're gonna continue our conversation
(17:13):
with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place. We will do
that next as Ask the Experts continues here at thirteen
ten wuib A eight fifty five thirteen ten WIBA and
Action Packed first segment with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place.
It's always a great data start at that journey, start
that conversation. Get on into the Healthy Place, whether it's
(17:33):
the West Side Fitchburger Sun Prairie location, Fitchburg Extra Special
on a Wednesday, Tim hangs out, He'd love to see you,
love to give you that high five, love to talk
with you again. Just get on into the Fitchburg location
today between ten am and five pm every Wednesday. Tim
is there online find your Healthy Place dot com. Let's
find your Healthy Place dot com and Tim before we
went to break there, we started talking a little bit
(17:54):
about what's ahead for the Healthy Place. And I know
something that you mentioned CGM, I think ten you is
glucose monitoring other things like that, and what a what
a difference it's made for you. This is these are
the type of things that you really want to be
bringing to the to the public as well, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And I mean supplements and this Foundational Clinic are two
businesses that Becky and I Will Will Will work hard
to be to create value for the community. And then
there's these topics like your sugar balance that are sort
of connected. But like we don't sell a CGM. You know,
we don't sell or our rings or apple watches. So
it's sort of like this. For me, it's been this,
(18:33):
you know, in nuclear explosion in my own life of
my goodness. I've sort of like left these parts of
my health over here. And I think that many of
us can relate to that, like whether it's stress, hydration, uh, sleep,
sugar balance, activity, there's some of these foundational ones that
(18:54):
like we can put you know, we know, like okay, family, right,
like we have to Oh, I got to catch up
with the family and make enough time, and then like
work and like take over your life and you know,
so those are kind of two big ones, and then
our health tends to get put to the side. So personally,
going through this experience in the last year has sort
of blown up my own passion for educating beyond supplements,
(19:15):
for educating beyond you know, hey, yeah, you need to
take a multivitamin. You absolutely should, because we're all nutritionally
difficient in one way or another. And like supplements are
a part of the story, they're not the whole health story.
And if I really want to impact Dane County and
bring Dane County to a place of like higher health,
(19:36):
CEO of their own health, like taking up their own
actions like inspiring sort of offering services that can make
it easier to be healthier, make it easier to get educated.
Right when you walk into the healthy place, like you
know you're going to meet a wellness consultant that's been
trained like like a sick amount for a health food store.
You just be like, really you have to have so
(19:57):
if to get a job here, I have to take
three months worth of training before I can work with
customers on a regular basis. Like I got a job
at GNC. They handed me the key, told me how
to work the register, and walked out. And it's not
a knock against them. That's just like how health food
stores in general hire people. So you have these these
wellness consultants that go through this three month journey to
gain this education in order to make it easier for
(20:21):
the public to become educated. So it's strategic and that's
what we're all about, is like, how can we this
next fifteen years, because we just celebrated our fifteen year anniversary,
This next fifteen years, how can we tenex the impact? Right,
We've learned so much and we know, we have this
plan that we're going we're literally going for ten times
(20:41):
the impact and we're measuring it through different KPIs and
it's been really exciting for our team and really exciting
for me and I'm really glad to get to shout
it out. It's ot and with mister Prebol Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Is a really exciting time to get into the Healthy
Place and of course start the journey. What a great
opportunity today is stop on it. I know Tim would

Oh shot, mister Sean play ball. You don't have to
treat me so well every week, but thank you kindly.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Try to match the energy, try to keep the keep
the flow going.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm trying to get my energy like down a little bit, dude.
It's been like a little bit. I cut caffeine, you know,
anyway I'm cutting off go ahead.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
No, no, no, it's interest excited. It's just like when
you mentioned that, you know, things like cutting caffeine or
those types of people don't always think about that, but
you do get like there's like an energy boost to
when you Obviously at first it's not easy, but once
you kind of get into it, all of a sudden,
your body like responds like I'm gonna make my own energy.
I don't need I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
Well, I've seen it with my brother first. So he
kind of got into jiu jitsu a few years back,
and he's kind of a health enthusiast, you know, and
his energy I noticed kept going up and then his
like caffeine consumption went to zero. And it's it's really
interesting because I've grown up on caffeine, you know, my mom,
(00:58):
you know, just talking about like health and and you
know it's coffee, right, like folders in your cup, like
we all know that commercial and like the smell and
it's like part of my life and it's such an experience.
So you know, then you find like clean organic caffeine
in nineteen years at my mom's health food store, you know,
(01:18):
and then so that became my like afternoon. So then
it's like coffee in the morning. Which I don't think
coffee is bad for you. There's there's a chlorogenic acid
that's anti cancer, Like specifically there's a cool clinical trial
on prostate cancer with coffee clergenic acid, and I don't
I don't think it's bad for you. I think like
depends how your body's wired. So for me, I'm like excitable.
(01:41):
I sort of like have been like trying to remove
explanation points to like every sentence that I have because
I just get super excited about people's lives and my
life and my family's life and my kid's life, like
at a Buddy night last night. So anyway, I'm just
like my energy keeps going up. We have this amazing
like team right now that I'm so thankful for at
(02:02):
our stores, our three stores here in Madison. And then
We're launching this this Foundational Care Holistic clinic in January
and the vision right now to truly impact anyway, So
my energy keeps going up, so I'm like, how do
I So I cut my afternoon clean caffeine, still doing
the coffee, but I'm like, should I cut the cup?
(02:24):
So I'm just sort of interested. I would encourage you
if you're listening, like like like just sort of separate
your life a little bit in the sense of it's
like separate yourself from your thoughts and your emotions, right
and like become the observer of those things. And I've
been doing that for like the last year because I
read this book that just kind of like, hey, you're
not your thoughts, you know, you're not your emotions. And
(02:46):
that kind of hit me because I always thought my
thoughts and emotions were like me, you know, and they're
like nah, so they don't have to control me. So anyway,
we're kind of getting, you know, deep into that. But
boit take a peek at your life and things like
caffeine you know, you know, on off, or things like
you know, process foods or just walking more, I mean sleep,
(03:06):
like being aware of your sleep patterns. You know and
like your stress patterns, and I sort of went, I've
been sort of open about this. I went most of
my life like being very passionate in certain areas of
my health, but then like not paying attention to these
other areas of my health like stress or even activity,
you know. Like like so as I turn forward, you know,
you start to reflect. And anyway, I would encourage you
(03:28):
all to like consider, like if you're listening now, like
maybe this is for you, maybe you need to stop
and sort of like separate yourself because life is so
fast and you can just find yourself running so fast
for ten years and being like oh okay and looking
around for a hot second.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
It's it's pretty it's pretty amazing too, and I think
a lot of folks relate to that as well. And
one of the great things is we had a chance
to talk with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place each
and every Wednesday morning right here on thirteen ten, WIBA
give you an opportunity to get on the air. If
you've got a question, I got to just pick up
phone gives call six so eight three two one thirteen ten.
That's six so eight three two one thirteen ten. We'll
get you on there with Tim O'Brien. Tim, we'll get
(04:06):
you a twenty five dollars gift card to the Healthy Place.
Speaking of the Healthy Place and it being a Wednesday,
what a great data stop on in whether it's the
West Side Fitchburg er Sun Prairie location in the Healthy Place.
But since it's a Weddy Wednesday, an extra special bonus.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
On Weesday in the stores on Wednesday. I decided that
a little bit ago, and every Wednesday ten to five
Fitchburg store, you just stop buy for a high five,
or you want a console, you're just curious what supplements
are working for our community. You stop on buy.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's a great day to get on into the Healthy
Place Again. Tim's hanging out Fitchburg location. It's a Wednesday'd
love to see I love to get that high five,
love to do that consultation. You can also, of course
do online at find your Healthy Place dot com. Well's
consultants there West Side Fitchburg and Sun's Prairie location in
the store. Also, phone lines are open six so eight, three, two, one,
thirteen ten. If that's not enough. If you are on
the social media platforms, whether it's Facebook or Instagram, you
(04:57):
can find the Healthy Place there. They've got a great
YouTube channel also, Man, there's also many ways to reach out.
Email Tim at find your Healthy Place dot com. That's
Tim ti Am at find your Healthy Place dot com.
As a matter of fact, Mark wrote in Mark says,
I try to stay active with walking in yard work,
but my knees and hips still get stiff. Are there
(05:17):
certain supplements that can actually help me and my joints
get moving easier? And that email comes to us from.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
Mark Mark, great question. This is super common. And you
know it's like I skateboarded when I was in my
teens and just like jumped off of buildings to be cool.
I guess, I don't know, like, and my knees are
like shot and they click and they literally wake up,
like if we have a baby in the bed, like
my knees clicking will. So if I take joint Jive
(05:46):
and I do the the therapeutic dose for like one month,
it is remarkable the difference that I feel. So joint
Jive by likely vitamin co. It's loaded. It's a four
capsule serving. So nobody likes taking pills. But the reason
we did it that way is because the secret in
this supplement industry is more nutrition creates more results, and
(06:07):
it's a secret for some reason. So we're like blowing
the lid off of it, blowers. But it's really remarkable
when you get more therapeutic amounts of these nutrients, so
you know, herbs like Devil's claw and nutrients like lubricating
nutrients like hyaluronic acid that will create some cushioning, some
cushioning between the knees and that and lubricates. Right, So elasticity,
(06:30):
range of motion, flexibility. That's been our top seller for
joints for some years. And I'd encourage two servings a
day for one month just to sort of open, get
the front door open, put the forest fire out. You'll
feel it so quickly, and then you can go down
to a one serving a day. But joint give lively
vitamin code. Loving it.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Hey, that's interesting when you talk about that too, Tim
about and a great email mark because I think a
lot of times too, when folks call in or share
an email, I think it kind of gets the wheel
spinning for all of us. And you mentioned, you know,
being a skater when you were younger, and I think
for a lot of us, you know, a die. When
we're younger, we do all of these things and we
spring right back and everything's all good. Well, we don't
(07:13):
realize that some of those things are going to come
back to haunt us as we get older. And there's
a lot of people that just kind of accept saying
I'm getting older. My joints are gonna be creaky in
the morning.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
We know. And activity is you know, I got to
mention that, right because because die in activity are really
the number one, and they're like neck and neck as
far as which one's more important. Supplements is kind of
number three. I own a supplement store, so I talk
a lot about supplements. But I got to tell you, like,
activity does like like if well this you know, Mark
was saying he's active, others are not, and they kind
(07:43):
of like because of some of the pains, they sort
of sit down and I talk to them every day
and because it's a real battle, like the pain is
so high in order to be active that they're not
and it actually is the fight. You know, I'm a
little bit dramatic, So I got to call myself down.
But I'll kind of talk to him. I'll be like,
this is a little bit of a fork in the
road for you, because if we don't find a way
(08:06):
to get active, then everything starts to break down rapidly,
like super rapidly. So if you get into you know,
that's part of why we're open in this foundational care clinic.
You get into like foundational care longevity, like you want
to be healthier and less likely to xyz. So being
active is like so important. And so for those people
(08:28):
that the pain is so high, the goal is to
either a find something like swimming that they can do
still active daily, but the pain is manageable, and or
get the pain managed, like get the inflammation down in
the system, which is is you know, supplements like her
Cuman really help with basquelia, Like inflammation is an enemy
(08:48):
that we can attack from a supplement standpoint, Like get
the pain down, then you can become more active. Like
it's a little bit of a fight for their life.
And I talk to a guy I was I think
it was John, but I'm not sure. He was sixty
two and he was what he called very healthy at
the age sixty and then he broke his leg and
(09:11):
the next two years his health degraded rapidly and he
was going all around different specialists like this area of
my health, that area of my health, this area of
my health. And he mentioned that he completely stopped being
active at the age of sixty and so age sixty
two here two years later. The rapid progression. So it's
(09:34):
remarkable how fast that can happen and how important activity is.
So with joint jib activity, I mean even like if
you can start aout couple, you know, count your steps,
like if you can get to ten thousand steps today,
like that's such a healthy way of life.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You mentioned, you know, caping track of steps, other things.
I know back in the day used to have to
buy a special unit or have a watch school thing.
If you got a smartphone, they've all got those great
apps included right in them and you can do that. Yeah, yeah,
well count.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
To steps, like just know how active you are, and
then if if you know that, you know, then gamify
a little bit. I mean I'm add a little bit.
So I like, hey, a goal to reach and it's like,
all right, let's just go walk outside a little bit
to get two thousand more steps. Like we literally do
that every day, Becky and I.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
When I when I'm wearing my other it is a lot.
It's people don't realize. Yeah, not only is it is
it good for your health, but what a great it's
great to enjoy the outdoors. It's a great to enjoy companies.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah. Yeah, I move in like your thought process, like
I get my head clear. I mean, it's dress goes down.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
It is so good for you. And you know, kind
of in my other role here at the station is
you know, kind of working behind the scenes. And I
always use the phrase, I'll say, you can't manage what
you can't measure, and the same thing with steps and
other things. It's important to have some data. And I
know kind of and we'll talk a little bit about
you mentioned the big announcement coming up early in the
new year about the abhorrence of using measurement to manage things,
(10:56):
and we're going to talk with you.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
You really have to have data driven Madison, you know,
like that's that concept is so exciting to me, Like
how is your specific body wired? You know, like Becky
and I have these cgms, these continual glucose monitors, and
we did that because we read you know, Glucose Revolution
and Outlive by doctor Yadia, and our minds are just
(11:17):
kind of blown on this like basic sugar concept that
if you like eat this way. You know, for years
I would just eat carbs and starches on an empty stomach,
and I wouldn't really think anything of it because I
need to gain weight and I need energy to keep
moving forward, and those things gave me energy. But what
I didn't realize is if I'm having a bagel right
(11:39):
for a quick lunch on an empty stomach and say
it's just with like you know, not much on it,
there's no like heavy fats on it to help it
not shoot straight up in your bloodstream and spike your
insulin to Kingdom come. So I was literally doing that
for years, which led to some negative impacts to my health,
and I didn't know that going on. So a lot
(12:00):
of people either the sequence that they eat their food,
you know, it really should be veggies, protein, fats, then sugars, carbs,
like the sequence that you can change and have immediate
benefits in your sugar. And also like the way you eat.
So if you're gonna eat a bagel, like put something
fatty on it right, like avocado or or cream cheese
(12:21):
like like the I mean, it makes it taste better.
And those fats will actually make it healthier for your
system to you know, I don't promote any certain diets.
I don't really know much about it, but it's learn it.
I mean, those two books are kind of like life
changing books. So I'll say those again, Outlived by doctor
Audia and then Glucose Revolution. I need to remember her name,
and she's super funny. So both books are great and
(12:42):
those are life changing. But that's an example of you know,
we have this CGM and we're gonna be able to
connect that data with our clinic and so our practitioners
will be able to have licensed natural paths, will have
functional medicine doctors, we'll have nurse practitioners, we'll have our
ns on our and nutritive ivs and lab work, and
so having all the data or as much data as
(13:04):
we can have on timmy right when that practitioners looking
at my glucose levels for the last six months, or
they're looking at the Apple Watch, you know, like how
much activity have I been having on a regular basis,
Like what's my sleep patterns with my or ring? Like
what how am I? And you know, everyone doesn't have
these devices or the money for these things, so we
get that having the ability is the point more data
(13:26):
driven medicine than the better. Like you don't come in
and it's a cookie cutter sort of situation that you
have an intake, you fill out your history, the practitioner
looks at it, You build a forty five minute you know,
one hundred and ninety nine bucks, so the cost is
affordable for people, and then you get a flight path
based on your current standing on what to do next.
And you know, might be supplements, it might be nutrit ivs,
(13:47):
it might be lab work. I mean, nineteen percent of
people are walking around with a terminal illness they don't
even know it. So there's just a reason to sort
of be passionate about health in general, you know, not
just for you, like, but a lot of us need
need to be I mean I'm one of them, Like
wake up to your health and the community, like we
have to care about each other. Like there's so many
(14:08):
people suffering, and like what are we doing about it?
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Talking now, it's it's pretty amazing as we talk about
not only what you're able to do at the healthy place,
So we look towards the future and new options as well,
and new things are going to be bringing to The
Healthy Place. You definitely want to stay tuned for all
that exciting news. If you've got a question for Tim Love,
do you have a joint us This one and six
soh eight three two one thirteen ten. That's six eight
three two one thirteen ten and Gary joins us. Gary,
(14:31):
welcome to the program. You're on the air with Tim
O'Brien from The Healthy Place.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Hey, Gary, good morning, Good morning.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I'm just wondering if you have been having some issues
as planner fasciata is, do you have anything that can
help with that?
Speaker 1 (14:46):
Yeah, that's no fun, man. How long you've been battling
that a few weeks? Pretty painful, it is.
Speaker 2 (14:56):
If I keep it moving, it's better. But when you
sit down and take a break and then it titans up.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
But if you'd all limbered up again, Yeah, it's terrible man.
I've talked to a lot of customers, never experienced it personally,
but that's no fun at all. Yet, we recommend getting
the inflammation down. So BCM ninety five kirkhuman is a
powerhouse form of Kirkhuman. There's always good, better, best when
it comes to nutrients. So BCM is one of the
best forms of Kirkcuman and fifteen hundred milligrams twice a
(15:23):
day is the dose we've been doing for plantofasci idis
and that's been pretty quick to reduce the inflammation and
become helpful. And then some folks will also get like
a Comfrey cream which is called like a trauma plant
or CBD topical or those are our top two sellers.
Like topically work brings, so say it's tightening up to
(15:45):
be able to put a topical on there that's anti
inflammatory and helps with pain and all that about five
minute impact for most people. Between either the Comfrey or
the CBD, they're both pretty good. People swear by both,
but that also has been helpful. And nerves play a role,
so if someone's really having a hard time, Urla poic
acid helps with the nerve inflammation and general anti inflammatory.
(16:08):
So people can get all three if they're really suffering,
or start with the Kirkcuman that fifteen hundred milligrams twice
a day, but just be sure to get a better
quality form of Kirkcuman like BCM or like a fightozomo
or likeozomo i meine kerkcu gin. Those are a few
of the higher absorbed forms of Kirkcuman and then the
(16:28):
product we sell that has that BCM in it is
Kira Health. See you are a health and then you
can shoot me an email too, dude, like Tim at
find your Healthy Place dot Com. I can send you
links for this or better yet, stop in the Fitchburg store.
I'll be over in the Fitchburg store today and our
whole team would know how to kind of come against
this plant. FREESCII I just for you from a supplement
(16:50):
side of things.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
All right, Thank you very much, Gary, Thank you for
the call. Great question. Get on in again. Today's great
day to get into the Healthy Place, whether it's West
Side Burger Sun Prairie location. Even better if you're in
the Fitchburg area, get on in. I know Tim would
love to see you, give you that high five. He's
there from nine from excuse me, from ten until five
today online find your Healthy Place dot Com. That's find
your Healthy Place dot Com. We're gonna continue our conversation
(17:13):
with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place. We will do
that next as Ask the Experts continues here at thirteen
ten wuib A eight fifty five thirteen ten WIBA and
Action Packed first segment with Tim O'Brien from the Healthy Place.
It's always a great data start at that journey, start
that conversation. Get on into the Healthy Place, whether it's
(17:33):
the West Side Fitchburger Sun Prairie location, Fitchburg Extra Special
on a Wednesday, Tim hangs out, He'd love to see you,
love to give you that high five, love to talk
with you again. Just get on into the Fitchburg location
today between ten am and five pm every Wednesday. Tim
is there online find your Healthy Place dot com. Let's
find your Healthy Place dot com and Tim before we
went to break there, we started talking a little bit
(17:54):
about what's ahead for the Healthy Place. And I know
something that you mentioned CGM, I think ten you is
glucose monitoring other things like that, and what a what
a difference it's made for you. This is these are
the type of things that you really want to be
bringing to the to the public as well, aren't they?
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And I mean supplements and this Foundational Clinic are two
businesses that Becky and I Will Will Will work hard
to be to create value for the community. And then
there's these topics like your sugar balance that are sort
of connected. But like we don't sell a CGM. You know,
we don't sell or our rings or apple watches. So
it's sort of like this. For me, it's been this,
(18:33):
you know, in nuclear explosion in my own life of
my goodness. I've sort of like left these parts of
my health over here. And I think that many of
us can relate to that, like whether it's stress, hydration, uh, sleep,
sugar balance, activity, there's some of these foundational ones that
(18:54):
like we can put you know, we know, like okay, family, right,
like we have to Oh, I got to catch up
with the family and make enough time, and then like
work and like take over your life and you know,
so those are kind of two big ones, and then
our health tends to get put to the side. So personally,
going through this experience in the last year has sort
of blown up my own passion for educating beyond supplements,
(19:15):
for educating beyond you know, hey, yeah, you need to
take a multivitamin. You absolutely should, because we're all nutritionally
difficient in one way or another. And like supplements are
a part of the story, they're not the whole health story.
And if I really want to impact Dane County and
bring Dane County to a place of like higher health,
(19:36):
CEO of their own health, like taking up their own
actions like inspiring sort of offering services that can make
it easier to be healthier, make it easier to get educated.
Right when you walk into the healthy place, like you
know you're going to meet a wellness consultant that's been
trained like like a sick amount for a health food store.
You just be like, really you have to have so
(19:57):
if to get a job here, I have to take
three months worth of training before I can work with
customers on a regular basis. Like I got a job
at GNC. They handed me the key, told me how
to work the register, and walked out. And it's not
a knock against them. That's just like how health food
stores in general hire people. So you have these these
wellness consultants that go through this three month journey to
gain this education in order to make it easier for
(20:21):
the public to become educated. So it's strategic and that's
what we're all about, is like, how can we this
next fifteen years, because we just celebrated our fifteen year anniversary,
This next fifteen years, how can we tenex the impact? Right,
We've learned so much and we know, we have this
plan that we're going we're literally going for ten times
(20:41):
the impact and we're measuring it through different KPIs and
it's been really exciting for our team and really exciting
for me and I'm really glad to get to shout
it out. It's ot and with mister Prebol Yes, it.
Speaker 2 (20:55):
Is a really exciting time to get into the Healthy
Place and of course start the journey. What a great
opportunity today is stop on it. I know Tim would
love to see at the Fitchburg location of course sun
Prairie as well as the Westside location. Welles consultants all

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
