in August we'll be open andoperating.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yes, so how we met was very interesting.
We won't get into that because,kevin, I really want to.
I really want you to shareabout what Thermodynamic Health
is, what are some of those,what's the mission and vision
behind health and wellness, withthis fabulous company that
you've started and all thethings that you're going to be
(02:07):
offering to individuals.
So would you like to share someof that with us?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yes, well, I'll go back to what you started with
about people to move into EastTennessee.
So we moved here 20 years ago.
I grew up in Connecticut, mywife grew up in Long Island and
I had worked for the Departmentof Energy as a government
contractor for many years, andthat's what brought us down to
Tennessee, east Tennessee.
(02:32):
It was a quality of life.
We left Long Island, whichbrought us away from all of our
family and friends to come downhere and improve our quality of
life, and it has dramatically.
Tennessee has been fantastic tous.
We've raised three daughtershere.
Two of them go to school righthere at ETSU.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
ETSU go Bucks.
Thank you One's down atJacksonville.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're, all you know , student athletes and you know
we've been just so blessed andso the path to where we are.
So I did the work that I didfor, you know, 35 years, and the
timing was perfect for usbecause the girls had moved off
(03:20):
to college, my wife and I wereat home and we've all so many
people, uh, over the last fewyears, and I don't know exactly
what it was.
We can, you know, we can allguess, but it seems like so many
people have come up with healthrelated issues recently, like
(03:42):
traumatic things.
We've lost a lot of family andfriends over the last just three
or four years deaths that theydidn't even know they were sick
or some illnesses come upon them.
And it happened to one of ourthree daughters, two of them
actually.
One suffers some migraines,them actually.
(04:08):
One suffers from migraines.
Our middle daughter suffersfrom internal pain that she has,
and I myself had some issuesthat were, I'd say, very
difficult to diagnose In somecases.
They don't really know what itis.
They'll say we don't know whereit comes from, we don't have a
cure for it, but here's somemedication and take it Right.
And and there was no resolution.
(04:30):
So you know, as our daughterswere going through this and I
myself, I mean, it took me fromI've been an athlete most of my
life, all of my life really, andso it took me from competing in
, uh, competitively intriathlons to couldn't get off
the couch.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
My goodness no.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Oh it was, it was.
It was unbelievable how quicklymy body took a turn and all the
only answers I had was, uh,medication.
I was taking 28 pills and seveninjections a week to maintain
the pain that I was in.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Crazy Now, and I hated taking ibuprofen.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Sure and so.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I went from, you know , very, very active to nothing.
Um in a in a, in a blank of aneye, nothing in a blank of an
eye.
And it took me months and Iknew that the medicine that I
was taking was not going to bemy long-term answer, because I
was not getting any better, Iwas getting worse, I was slowly
going down, just going into thatchronic patient Nerve pain.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I understand that, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And so I just fought it the best that I could and
tried to find out some therapiesthat I could do on my own, and
through that discovery I'veeventually worked myself back to
a place where I feel prettygood.
I'm just down to one medicine aday.
I still want to get off that,but through this experience of
my own and our daughters andI'll tell you just some
(06:04):
frustration about our approachto healthcare today.
So there's got to be a betterway, and I've always been
interested in alternativemedicine.
And so I tried everything I'vedone acupuncture and alternative
medicine therapies or vitaminsor meditation.
(06:27):
I've done it all.
And then, through a friend ofmine who also owns a physical
therapy clinic, he and I weretalking and he had a cryo
chamber in his facility at onepoint and I tried that just for
anti-inflammatory, you know,after athletic events it was.
(06:49):
It's really good, the coldexposure is very good for you.
So he and I were talking, and Ihad this idea for several years
, about a facility that had whatthey call contrast therapy,
which is, you know, a sauna anda cold plunge.
The contrast of that therapy isvery beneficial for a lot of
reasons, primarily foranti-inflammatory inflammation
(07:12):
right, it'll reduce theinflammation within your body,
but also the sauna will rid yourbody of toxins right so you
sweat it out and then you get inthe cold plunge, and just that
reaction alone between the hotand the cold forces your body to
heal itself right.
So you're not relying on amedication ibuprofen to reduce
(07:32):
the inflammation it's doing itnaturally.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So how long would you like stay in that sauna and
then get into the cold plunge?
And is that?
Is that for anybody?
Or are there some risk factorsinvolved in that?
Really no risk factors.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No, really no risk factors okay the sauna.
You'd sit in there for 30 or 45minutes depending on what you
could take, because thetemperature's between 150 160
degrees.
It's hot, oh, and what you'resitting in?
The temperature's between 150,160 degrees.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's hot, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And what you're sitting in the sauna for is not
necessarily the heat, althoughthe heat is beneficial but it's
the red light therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So the red light's in there too, the red light's in
there, it's the full spectrumred light infrared sauna.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So the red light is the beneficial part to it, but
also the sweating.
And then you jump in the coldplunge.
And the cold plunge that watertemperature is going to be
anywhere from 35 to 45, 50degrees.
It's cold and what they tellyou to stay in there is one to
three minutes, as long as youcan stand it.
And it's cold, it's hard andthe shock to your body is
(08:33):
intense.
Once you sit in there for abouta minute, your body starts to
relax.
It's amazing.
You'll relax and then you don'tfeel the cold anymore and
you'll get out, and the feelingof it is something that you
become a little bit addicted to.
Your endorphins are released inyour body from the shock to it
(08:54):
all and it becomes in and ofitself a therapy right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So interesting yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
And so along with that, we've added, you know one
of the things.
I spoke to this friend of mineand he said you know you've got
to.
I would suggest you put ahyperbaric chamber in there.
So a hyperbaric chamber.
So you've seen movies wheredivers go deep down and they
have the bends, they call them,and they put them in a
hyperbaric chamber.
What that does is infuses yourbody with oxygen, right?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And again.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Your blood cells are now reacting on their own to
heal your body.
So we've got a hyperbaricchamber, we've got a red light
bed, we've got red lightblankets for maybe people who
are a little bit claustrophobicand can't get in a bed.
Don't want to get in there Wantto get in there and they can
lay it on there, and we also allhave a cryo chamber which is
very similar to a cold plunge.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I was going to ask you how do those differ?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
About the same.
It's just a matter of whetheryou want to get in water or
whether you want to stand injust cold air, Cause the the
cryo chamber today is just likea freezer.
It's a deep freeze.
You get in there and as cold asyou want to have it, it's
windshield, it will just thetemperature is really cold and
it just pick up the wind andit's cold and again, it's about
three minutes.
You're in and out and thedifference is amazing.
(10:08):
So what we'll ask people to dois really what's bothering you,
what are you dealing with, whatsort of issues are you having,
and try and recommend sometherapies for them that will
help them get through that.
And it can be anything from anautoimmune disorder, chronic
pain, acute pain from a heavyworkout.
(10:29):
We're right in between a greatgym and a physical therapy
clinic.
There happen to be brother andsister and we're friends with
them and we love being there andwe found the space right in
between them that somebody hadhad.
And I came back from a trip toCalifornia to look at a place
out there and I came back and Ispoke to this friend of mine.
I said when's your tenant inthe middle leaving?
He said they just moved.
(10:50):
I said we're in, so it was offand running.
We just started about sixmonths ago.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So actually the physical location.
You have a physical therapistbeside of you and what's the?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
other one A gym, a gym yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is perfect.
Perfect, yeah, exactly so isyour plan to expand, kevin, to
offer those services?
Maybe move on up closer here toEast Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent Our.
You know what we'd like to do,and again, so we're going to be
catering to everybody.
Our ideal clientele iseverybody, from a young athlete
to a senior citizen right,Everybody's dealing with
something, and so we can help.
We really believe we can helpjust about everybody with
(11:33):
anything that they're dealingwith, especially working with
our neighbors at the gym, in thephysical therapy clinic, and
even a dermatology is rightacross the parking lot from us
office is right across theparking lot, so we're going to
be able to help one another worktogether and help one another
and the goal is to get up andrunning and get a few more of
(11:53):
these out there.
What we have there's a lot ofplaces that are opening up today
saunas, cold plunge, otherfacilities that have they'll
even do Botox injections.
We're staying away from a lotof that because we want to just
we want to focus on helping thebody naturally heal and we think
(12:17):
that we can help a lot ofpeople, and so our expansion.
Well, johnson City is certainlyone of the places we've got our
eyes on and we want to get outthere as many places as we can,
as quick as we can.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I think that's wise, kevin, when you talk about
focusing on what's your nicheinstead of trying to be a med
spa with these therapies.
You're offering just thesetherapies for individuals.
And you know, god made ourbodies amazing.
He made our bodies to heal andunfortunately, with the COVID
(12:48):
vaccine that happened.
You know I was listening to apodcast.
I was listening to a podcastthe younger population we saw.
If you look at the number ofdeaths, especially in Tennessee,
there's a huge spike in thatyounger population, not elderly.
So we know there was a lot ofcomplications from that.
(13:10):
It was a gene therapy, therewas just.
Anyway.
We could do another podcast onthat one.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
For sure we could do another podcast on that one For
sure we could yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So I love what you're doing, the approach to healing
of the body and really it's allabout.
There's so many great thingsout there Nutrition, eating,
natural good food, vitaminswhere your vitamins made, what's
in your vitamins and exercise.
But now we've got thecryotherapy cold plunge,
(13:43):
infrared.
So tell me, what does theinfrared light therapy do?
What's the purpose behind that?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So it operates at the cellular level.
It's going to get down throughyour skin and your muscle tissue
, and it's going to operate atthe cellular level and it's just
going to stimulate it.
Whatever you're doing, whateverwe're doing today, we're not
getting down to that cellularlevel to help the body heal
itself, and that's its purpose,right?
And so, whether you're sittingin the sauna or the red light
(14:10):
bed or the red light blanket,it's doing the same thing.
It'll, it'll, it'll get fromyour skin down to your
bloodstream and it'll help allthrough.
So it has anti-aging componentsto it.
It'll help your skin If you'vegot skin issues.
Um, it helps with those.
Um, just about everything canbe uh, I want to be careful with
(14:32):
the word cured, but it could bevery beneficial for just about
everybody.
And you mentioned somethingabout the.
It's almost a war that we're upagainst, to be honest with you,
between our food, our water,the environmental components and
then the medicine we're puttingin our bodies, we have taken
(14:53):
our body's ability to naturallyheal away.
We're getting in the way ofthat, right.
If you just think about, youknow, my grandparents, my wife's
grandparents, my wife's parents, came here from Italy, right.
Her mom came from Italy, herdad came from Malta and her mom
grew up on a farm right, wherethey grew their own food, they
(15:16):
grew their own vegetables andthey would trade, you know,
fruit for meat.
And we actually went there.
Funny story we went there onpart of our honeymoon and I was
startled awake the first nightwe slept there by somebody
walking down the street yellingin Italian something.
I asked my wife.
I said what are they?
(15:36):
What's he saying?
He's yelling vegetables, fruitsand vegetables.
He's pushing the vegetable cartdown the street.
I said that's amazing.
He said that's how they gettheir food every day.
Well, they weren't dealing withthe stuff that we're dealing
with today.
You know, you know the epidemicof cancer that we've got in
this country.
You know what's the reason?
It has to be a connection toour food, has to be a connection
(15:57):
to our water.
And look, you know, modernmedicine is a marvel.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It is.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It is an absolute the things we can do here in the
United States Things that we cando and that the problems that
we can solve for people are awonder, and there's a time and a
place for that.
But I think we've whether it'sjust, you know, laziness or or
something driving something else, we've turned a curve that now
we're now just relying on aprescription medicine to heal,
(16:23):
and I think that that's gettingin our way.
So if we can have somebody thatcan come in and they say look,
I'm you want to hear a crazystatistic.
Today, the average man over theage of 50 is on three
prescription medicines.
That is crazy.
That is crazy so if you can comein and we can help you get down
to two or one or none, workingdirectly with your doctor.
(16:48):
So they're looking at yournumbers and going.
You're doing much better.
These young people are dealingwith long COVID respiratory
issues.
Put them in the hyperbaricchamber.
Sometimes it's the only thingthat helps, right, and the only
place that has hyperbaricchambers right now are hospitals
.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right, because wound care, wound care, they use them
for wound care.
My background in nursing so wewould put them in a hyperbaric
chamber to promote healing ofthe wound bed because it drives
so much oxygen at the cellularlevel.
Yeah, yeah, so you're right.
And that and some people, youknow people don't have the
luxury to have that those thingsat their home.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, you know, professional athletes do have
red light beds and hyperbaricchambers in their home, like you
said, and they're doing it fora reason, right they want to
stay at their, you know, attheir peak performance top of
their game all the
Speaker 2 (17:41):
time.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So that's the another group that we're trying to work
with.
Right, you know, athletes whoreally just want to step it up
and make sure that they're, youknow, at the optimal level all
the time.
Right, we'd love to be able tohelp them do that.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, and so how often can you?
What's your recommendation?
Because I'm sure you youprovide like a.
If someone comes to you, do yousit down with them?
Do you, you know, have thatconversation to see you know
what therapies that you wouldrecommend based on what are you
basing those things on?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Some, some people will come in and they'll know
what they're dealing with rightthis is the issue that I've got.
I've done some research.
I think this might help me.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And that'll be a starting path for us to say,
yeah, that's a great start.
Let's do that.
Other people will come in andgo.
You know, I'd like to know more.
You know, I don't know how thiscan help me and the
conversation will be like whatare you dealing with?
Tell us some of the issues thatyou're dealing with.
I've got back problems, okay,well, let's try this.
You know, let's try a littlered light therapy.
(18:46):
Right, let's try a cold plungeno-transcript the therapies that
we've got.
That could help the time lengthin which it may take to improve
, and sometimes it'll be morethan just one, what we call
(19:07):
modality.
Right, it'll be stacking some ofthese therapies, right, like
I've mentioned, the hyperbaricchamber and the red light that's
good for a lot of stuff, and ifyou stack the two of them
together, one promotes the otherwith the healing, so it'll be
much on a case-by-case basis.
There'll be a lot of people whoknow what they want.
A lot of people just want toget in the sauna.
I don't want to get in the coldplunge, I don't like cold right
(19:29):
.
So I just want to get in thesauna, right?
Or I just want to lay in thered light bed hyperbaric chamber
.
So it'll be on a case-by-casebasis, right, really excited to
find out what people are dealingwith and how actually we can
help them.
Part of the challenge, Ibelieve, is going to be we've
become a society of instantgratification.
(19:51):
Sure, steve and I were talkingearlier about just take a pill
and be cured, right.
We want this over fast.
Well, natural healing is notgoing to be fast.
No, it took us a long time toget where you are right, it
might take you 30 or 40 years tofeel as bad as you do right now
.
I'm not going to say it's goingto take another 30 or 40 years,
but it's going to take a littlewhile, right.
(20:11):
It's not going to happen in aweek, right, unless you've got
sore legs and you want to put onsome compression boots, which
we also have right, that'll helpyou tomorrow.
But these will take a littlebit of time and I'm not trying
to do a sales pitch here to getpeople signed up.
But the fact of the matter isyou're going to have to be
patient.
It's going to take some time.
I'll tell you a personalexperience Again.
(20:33):
We've bought some of thesetherapies.
We have them in our house rightnow.
We've got a sauna.
We've got some red lightblankets oh nice and we've been
using these.
My wife and I have been usingthese to see if it helps and
I'll be honest with you, I dosee some benefit.
My issues right now is chronicpain and neurological pain, and
it's really helped tremendously.
I can feel it.
(20:53):
It's a slow, slow progressiontowards health.
I can feel it Even slowprogression towards health.
I can feel it even more so if Idon't do it.
I'm doing it almost every day,if I skip a couple of days.
I feel it, you feel it, I feelit.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You know, I think, when you're talking about
getting down to that cellularlevel, um, you know people talk
about the mitochondria of thecell, that's the powerhouse of
the cell, and um, so I'm a bigproponent of methylene blue.
I take methylene blue because Itake the pill for them.
I'm not going to do the liquidbecause I don't want blue teeth,
but you know it could bebeneficial for ADD, for people
(21:32):
you know, to help prevent, youknow, memory loss and dementia.
So I think that gettingstimulating that mitochondria of
the cell, that powerhouse, andthat's what these therapies can
help do, as well as adjunctivethings and, like you mentioned,
layering the good food, thevitamins and healthy lifestyle
(21:56):
and getting adequate sleep youknow people don't understand.
You know you need sleep.
That's so People don'tunderstand you need sleep.
That's so important.
If we're not sleeping well, Idon't think you're going to have
any issues with people coming.
The thing is, if you build it,they will come, and I think
America has woke up Instead ofgoing woke.
(22:18):
We have had a great awakeningand I think more and more people
are wanting to have betterhealth and I'm really excited
about the administration we havenow.
I'm excited about RFK being onboard and some of the physicians
coming on board, dr Oz and I'mthinking we're going to see some
(22:42):
really great changes.
But it's going to take time.
But it takes the individualwanting to take ownership of
their own health and being theirown best advocate.
Don't you agree?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
You know again.
Yeah, you know, not justrelying on the doctor to know
everything, because they don't.
It's all a science experimentevery single day and when we
walk in there's some things theyknow.
Well, here, take this, this isgoing to help you with your.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And this is how they're trained.
It's not the physician's fault,right?
I mean, they're trained acertain way and it's a
prescription and you know, a lotof times if you have somebody
come in it's like, well, youjust do something, you know.
But unfortunately, when youknow a lot of people were sent
home with COVID, you know, witha pulse oximeter, and nothing
was done for those individualswhere we knew that with the
(23:29):
frontline doctors there were alot.
We really don't have a name forthis, or we do have a name for
it.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
We've given it this name because we really don't
know what's caused it.
We don't know how to cure it andthere is no answer for them.
And there's so many people likethat, that, I think, that are
stuck in this place, that theonly answer is a prescription
medicine and, like you said, somany factors come into play here
.
Answer is a prescriptionmedicine and, like you said, so
many factors come into play hereour sleep, stress in our lives
(24:08):
and the food and the water andjust the environment.
And so we've got to really,like you said, take control of
this ourselves, manage itourselves and not rely on
somebody, and all we're tryingto do is give somebody the tools
to be able to do that.
We want them to be able tounderstand.
We will help you, understandwhat these modalities will do to
help you, but you got to tellus, you have to tell us is it
helping?
Do we need to try somethingelse?
(24:28):
Do you find it beneficial?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
or not.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And I really hope and pray that it does.
It, will it really do so we'rereally focused on so we want to
make sure that we're capturingas much of the population as we
can.
We're building the facility tobe fully handicap accessible.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
A hyperbaric chamber that's going to be wheelchair
accessible, a custom-built saunathat we can get a wheelchair in
, a lift that's going to getpeople from the wheelchair into
the cold plunge if they're sobrave.
Yes, right, discounts forveterans and seniors and we're
going to donate a portion of ournet profits to a charity every
(25:10):
year.
So very excited.
We just want to be able to helppeople, individuals and the
community at large.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And it will.
And I love what you're doing,that you're not out there saying
that this is the be all end.
All this is other therapies,other means that can add to what
you're doing, but I think thekey to any of these things is
consistency, right, kevin?
Yeah, I would say so?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I would say so.
It depends on people'sparticular needs.
It depends on people'sparticular needs.
But you're right, it won't be.
Let's do this for a week andyou'll be cured right.
It will be consistent.
You'll have to be consistentwith it.
You'll have to stay with it forsome period of time.
We don't know what that isnecessarily, but, for instance,
(25:54):
the red light bed there areprograms already in the bed that
will tell you if you're dealingwith chronic back pain.
Do it this many times a weekfor this long, and what we're
hoping for?
Just see a reduction inwhatever people are challenged
with, and then you can just geton a maintenance schedule, right
(26:15):
?
Yes, and it'll be just muchlike your exercise routine,
right?
I've got to get up and I've gotto exercise, right?
Well, you got to get up and yougot to do your therapy.
Also, take care of yourself,right.
Take care of yourself becauseof the end result you're going
to be healthier, you're going tofeel better, you're going to
live longer, you're going tolook better.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yes, right, that's the goal, and I think just you
know how do you feel.
Do you feel better?
Yeah, isn't that amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Isn't it great to wake up and feel good in the
mornings.

(27:47):
we can introduce them to them,so they can understand what's
going on.
That's great A lot of this Ithink people have heard about,
but application probably not.
They haven't tried a lot ofthem.
And then some of them theymaybe just have never heard of
before.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Right, right.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Again.
So, and a lot of it again isjust looking better.
Right, the red light therapy,for instance, is FDA approved
for skin care for wrinkles.
Right, for acne pain reliefright, FDA approved.
So it's already gone throughthat regime of you know, getting
(28:28):
approved and understood that itdoes work.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Yes, so how we met was very interesting.
We won't get into that because,kevin, I really want to.
I really want you to shareabout what Thermodynamic Health
is, what are some of those,what's the mission and vision
behind health and wellness, withthis fabulous company that
you've started and all thethings that you're going to be
(02:07):
offering to individuals.
So would you like to share someof that with us?
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yes, well, I'll go back to what you started with
about people to move into EastTennessee.
So we moved here 20 years ago.
I grew up in Connecticut, mywife grew up in Long Island and
I had worked for the Departmentof Energy as a government
contractor for many years, andthat's what brought us down to
Tennessee, east Tennessee.
(02:32):
It was a quality of life.
We left Long Island, whichbrought us away from all of our
family and friends to come downhere and improve our quality of
life, and it has dramatically.
Tennessee has been fantastic tous.
We've raised three daughtershere.
Two of them go to school righthere at ETSU.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
ETSU go Bucks.
Thank you One's down atJacksonville.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
They're, all you know , student athletes and you know
we've been just so blessed andso the path to where we are.
So I did the work that I didfor, you know, 35 years, and the
timing was perfect for usbecause the girls had moved off
(03:20):
to college, my wife and I wereat home and we've all so many
people, uh, over the last fewyears, and I don't know exactly
what it was.
We can, you know, we can allguess, but it seems like so many
people have come up with healthrelated issues recently, like
(03:42):
traumatic things.
We've lost a lot of family andfriends over the last just three
or four years deaths that theydidn't even know they were sick
or some illnesses come upon them.
And it happened to one of ourthree daughters, two of them
actually.
One suffers some migraines,them actually.
(04:08):
One suffers from migraines.
Our middle daughter suffersfrom internal pain that she has,
and I myself had some issuesthat were, I'd say, very
difficult to diagnose In somecases.
They don't really know what itis.
They'll say we don't know whereit comes from, we don't have a
cure for it, but here's somemedication and take it Right.
And and there was no resolution.
(04:30):
So you know, as our daughterswere going through this and I
myself, I mean, it took me fromI've been an athlete most of my
life, all of my life really, andso it took me from competing in
, uh, competitively intriathlons to couldn't get off
the couch.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
My goodness no.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Oh it was, it was.
It was unbelievable how quicklymy body took a turn and all the
only answers I had was, uh,medication.
I was taking 28 pills and seveninjections a week to maintain
the pain that I was in.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Oh, my goodness.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Crazy Now, and I hated taking ibuprofen.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
Sure and so.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I went from, you know , very, very active to nothing.
Um in a in a, in a blank of aneye, nothing in a blank of an
eye.
And it took me months and Iknew that the medicine that I
was taking was not going to bemy long-term answer, because I
was not getting any better, Iwas getting worse, I was slowly
going down, just going into thatchronic patient Nerve pain.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I understand that, yes.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
And so I just fought it the best that I could and
tried to find out some therapiesthat I could do on my own, and
through that discovery I'veeventually worked myself back to
a place where I feel prettygood.
I'm just down to one medicine aday.
I still want to get off that,but through this experience of
my own and our daughters andI'll tell you just some
(06:04):
frustration about our approachto healthcare today.
So there's got to be a betterway, and I've always been
interested in alternativemedicine.
And so I tried everything I'vedone acupuncture and alternative
medicine therapies or vitaminsor meditation.
(06:27):
I've done it all.
And then, through a friend ofmine who also owns a physical
therapy clinic, he and I weretalking and he had a cryo
chamber in his facility at onepoint and I tried that just for
anti-inflammatory, you know,after athletic events it was.
(06:49):
It's really good, the coldexposure is very good for you.
So he and I were talking, and Ihad this idea for several years
, about a facility that had whatthey call contrast therapy,
which is, you know, a sauna anda cold plunge.
The contrast of that therapy isvery beneficial for a lot of
reasons, primarily foranti-inflammatory inflammation
(07:12):
right, it'll reduce theinflammation within your body,
but also the sauna will rid yourbody of toxins right so you
sweat it out and then you get inthe cold plunge, and just that
reaction alone between the hotand the cold forces your body to
heal itself right.
So you're not relying on amedication ibuprofen to reduce
(07:32):
the inflammation it's doing itnaturally.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
So how long would you like stay in that sauna and
then get into the cold plunge?
And is that?
Is that for anybody?
Or are there some risk factorsinvolved in that?
Really no risk factors.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
No, really no risk factors okay the sauna.
You'd sit in there for 30 or 45minutes depending on what you
could take, because thetemperature's between 150 160
degrees.
It's hot, oh, and what you'resitting in?
The temperature's between 150,160 degrees.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
It's hot, oh wow.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
And what you're sitting in the sauna for is not
necessarily the heat, althoughthe heat is beneficial but it's
the red light therapy.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
So the red light's in there too, the red light's in
there, it's the full spectrumred light infrared sauna.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
So the red light is the beneficial part to it, but
also the sweating.
And then you jump in the coldplunge.
And the cold plunge that watertemperature is going to be
anywhere from 35 to 45, 50degrees.
It's cold and what they tellyou to stay in there is one to
three minutes, as long as youcan stand it.
And it's cold, it's hard andthe shock to your body is
(08:33):
intense.
Once you sit in there for abouta minute, your body starts to
relax.
It's amazing.
You'll relax and then you don'tfeel the cold anymore and
you'll get out, and the feelingof it is something that you
become a little bit addicted to.
Your endorphins are released inyour body from the shock to it
(08:54):
all and it becomes in and ofitself a therapy right.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
So interesting yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
And so along with that, we've added, you know one
of the things.
I spoke to this friend of mineand he said you know you've got
to.
I would suggest you put ahyperbaric chamber in there.
So a hyperbaric chamber.
So you've seen movies wheredivers go deep down and they
have the bends, they call them,and they put them in a
hyperbaric chamber.
What that does is infuses yourbody with oxygen, right?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And again.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Your blood cells are now reacting on their own to
heal your body.
So we've got a hyperbaricchamber, we've got a red light
bed, we've got red lightblankets for maybe people who
are a little bit claustrophobicand can't get in a bed.
Don't want to get in there Wantto get in there and they can
lay it on there, and we also allhave a cryo chamber which is
very similar to a cold plunge.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I was going to ask you how do those differ?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
About the same.
It's just a matter of whetheryou want to get in water or
whether you want to stand injust cold air, Cause the the
cryo chamber today is just likea freezer.
It's a deep freeze.
You get in there and as cold asyou want to have it, it's
windshield, it will just thetemperature is really cold and
it just pick up the wind andit's cold and again, it's about
three minutes.
You're in and out and thedifference is amazing.
(10:08):
So what we'll ask people to dois really what's bothering you,
what are you dealing with, whatsort of issues are you having,
and try and recommend sometherapies for them that will
help them get through that.
And it can be anything from anautoimmune disorder, chronic
pain, acute pain from a heavyworkout.
(10:29):
We're right in between a greatgym and a physical therapy
clinic.
There happen to be brother andsister and we're friends with
them and we love being there andwe found the space right in
between them that somebody hadhad.
And I came back from a trip toCalifornia to look at a place
out there and I came back and Ispoke to this friend of mine.
I said when's your tenant inthe middle leaving?
He said they just moved.
(10:50):
I said we're in, so it was offand running.
We just started about sixmonths ago.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
So actually the physical location.
You have a physical therapistbeside of you and what's the?
Speaker 3 (11:00):
other one A gym, a gym yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:02):
That is perfect.
Perfect, yeah, exactly so isyour plan to expand, kevin, to
offer those services?
Maybe move on up closer here toEast Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent Our.
You know what we'd like to do,and again, so we're going to be
catering to everybody.
Our ideal clientele iseverybody, from a young athlete
to a senior citizen right,Everybody's dealing with
something, and so we can help.
We really believe we can helpjust about everybody with
(11:33):
anything that they're dealingwith, especially working with
our neighbors at the gym, in thephysical therapy clinic, and
even a dermatology is rightacross the parking lot from us
office is right across theparking lot, so we're going to
be able to help one another worktogether and help one another
and the goal is to get up andrunning and get a few more of
(11:53):
these out there.
What we have there's a lot ofplaces that are opening up today
saunas, cold plunge, otherfacilities that have they'll
even do Botox injections.
We're staying away from a lotof that because we want to just
we want to focus on helping thebody naturally heal and we think
(12:17):
that we can help a lot ofpeople, and so our expansion.
Well, johnson City is certainlyone of the places we've got our
eyes on and we want to get outthere as many places as we can,
as quick as we can.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
I think that's wise, kevin, when you talk about
focusing on what's your nicheinstead of trying to be a med
spa with these therapies.
You're offering just thesetherapies for individuals.
And you know, god made ourbodies amazing.
He made our bodies to heal andunfortunately, with the COVID
(12:48):
vaccine that happened.
You know I was listening to apodcast.
I was listening to a podcastthe younger population we saw.
If you look at the number ofdeaths, especially in Tennessee,
there's a huge spike in thatyounger population, not elderly.
So we know there was a lot ofcomplications from that.
(13:10):
It was a gene therapy, therewas just.
Anyway.
We could do another podcast onthat one.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
For sure we could do another podcast on that one For
sure we could yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
So I love what you're doing, the approach to healing
of the body and really it's allabout.
There's so many great thingsout there Nutrition, eating,
natural good food, vitaminswhere your vitamins made, what's
in your vitamins and exercise.
But now we've got thecryotherapy cold plunge,
(13:43):
infrared.
So tell me, what does theinfrared light therapy do?
What's the purpose behind that?
Speaker 3 (13:50):
So it operates at the cellular level.
It's going to get down throughyour skin and your muscle tissue
, and it's going to operate atthe cellular level and it's just
going to stimulate it.
Whatever you're doing, whateverwe're doing today, we're not
getting down to that cellularlevel to help the body heal
itself, and that's its purpose,right?
And so, whether you're sittingin the sauna or the red light
(14:10):
bed or the red light blanket,it's doing the same thing.
It'll, it'll, it'll get fromyour skin down to your
bloodstream and it'll help allthrough.
So it has anti-aging componentsto it.
It'll help your skin If you'vegot skin issues.
Um, it helps with those.
Um, just about everything canbe uh, I want to be careful with
(14:32):
the word cured, but it could bevery beneficial for just about
everybody.
And you mentioned somethingabout the.
It's almost a war that we're upagainst, to be honest with you,
between our food, our water,the environmental components and
then the medicine we're puttingin our bodies, we have taken
(14:53):
our body's ability to naturallyheal away.
We're getting in the way ofthat, right.
If you just think about, youknow, my grandparents, my wife's
grandparents, my wife's parents, came here from Italy, right.
Her mom came from Italy, herdad came from Malta and her mom
grew up on a farm right, wherethey grew their own food, they
(15:16):
grew their own vegetables andthey would trade, you know,
fruit for meat.
And we actually went there.
Funny story we went there onpart of our honeymoon and I was
startled awake the first nightwe slept there by somebody
walking down the street yellingin Italian something.
I asked my wife.
I said what are they?
(15:36):
What's he saying?
He's yelling vegetables, fruitsand vegetables.
He's pushing the vegetable cartdown the street.
I said that's amazing.
He said that's how they gettheir food every day.
Well, they weren't dealing withthe stuff that we're dealing
with today.
You know, you know the epidemicof cancer that we've got in
this country.
You know what's the reason?
It has to be a connection toour food, has to be a connection
(15:57):
to our water.
And look, you know, modernmedicine is a marvel.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
It is.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
It is an absolute the things we can do here in the
United States Things that we cando and that the problems that
we can solve for people are awonder, and there's a time and a
place for that.
But I think we've whether it'sjust, you know, laziness or or
something driving something else, we've turned a curve that now
we're now just relying on aprescription medicine to heal,
(16:23):
and I think that that's gettingin our way.
So if we can have somebody thatcan come in and they say look,
I'm you want to hear a crazystatistic.
Today, the average man over theage of 50 is on three
prescription medicines.
That is crazy.
That is crazy so if you can comein and we can help you get down
to two or one or none, workingdirectly with your doctor.
(16:48):
So they're looking at yournumbers and going.
You're doing much better.
These young people are dealingwith long COVID respiratory
issues.
Put them in the hyperbaricchamber.
Sometimes it's the only thingthat helps, right, and the only
place that has hyperbaricchambers right now are hospitals
.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Right, because wound care, wound care, they use them
for wound care.
My background in nursing so wewould put them in a hyperbaric
chamber to promote healing ofthe wound bed because it drives
so much oxygen at the cellularlevel.
Yeah, yeah, so you're right.
And that and some people, youknow people don't have the
luxury to have that those thingsat their home.
Speaker 3 (17:29):
Yeah, you know, professional athletes do have
red light beds and hyperbaricchambers in their home, like you
said, and they're doing it fora reason, right they want to
stay at their, you know, attheir peak performance top of
their game all the
Speaker 2 (17:41):
time.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
So that's the another group that we're trying to work
with.
Right, you know, athletes whoreally just want to step it up
and make sure that they're, youknow, at the optimal level all
the time.
Right, we'd love to be able tohelp them do that.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
Yeah, and so how often can you?
What's your recommendation?
Because I'm sure you youprovide like a.
If someone comes to you, do yousit down with them?
Do you, you know, have thatconversation to see you know
what therapies that you wouldrecommend based on what are you
basing those things on?
Speaker 3 (18:18):
Some, some people will come in and they'll know
what they're dealing with rightthis is the issue that I've got.
I've done some research.
I think this might help me.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
Right.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
And that'll be a starting path for us to say,
yeah, that's a great start.
Let's do that.
Other people will come in andgo.
You know, I'd like to know more.
You know, I don't know how thiscan help me and the
conversation will be like whatare you dealing with?
Tell us some of the issues thatyou're dealing with.
I've got back problems, okay,well, let's try this.
You know, let's try a littlered light therapy.
(18:46):
Right, let's try a cold plungeno-transcript the therapies that
we've got.
That could help the time lengthin which it may take to improve
, and sometimes it'll be morethan just one, what we call
(19:07):
modality.
Right, it'll be stacking some ofthese therapies, right, like
I've mentioned, the hyperbaricchamber and the red light that's
good for a lot of stuff, and ifyou stack the two of them
together, one promotes the otherwith the healing, so it'll be
much on a case-by-case basis.
There'll be a lot of people whoknow what they want.
A lot of people just want toget in the sauna.
I don't want to get in the coldplunge, I don't like cold right
(19:29):
.
So I just want to get in thesauna, right?
Or I just want to lay in thered light bed hyperbaric chamber
.
So it'll be on a case-by-casebasis, right, really excited to
find out what people are dealingwith and how actually we can
help them.
Part of the challenge, Ibelieve, is going to be we've
become a society of instantgratification.
(19:51):
Sure, steve and I were talkingearlier about just take a pill
and be cured, right.
We want this over fast.
Well, natural healing is notgoing to be fast.
No, it took us a long time toget where you are right, it
might take you 30 or 40 years tofeel as bad as you do right now
.
I'm not going to say it's goingto take another 30 or 40 years,
but it's going to take a littlewhile, right.
(20:11):
It's not going to happen in aweek, right, unless you've got
sore legs and you want to put onsome compression boots, which
we also have right, that'll helpyou tomorrow.
But these will take a littlebit of time and I'm not trying
to do a sales pitch here to getpeople signed up.
But the fact of the matter isyou're going to have to be
patient.
It's going to take some time.
I'll tell you a personalexperience Again.
(20:33):
We've bought some of thesetherapies.
We have them in our house rightnow.
We've got a sauna.
We've got some red lightblankets oh nice and we've been
using these.
My wife and I have been usingthese to see if it helps and
I'll be honest with you, I dosee some benefit.
My issues right now is chronicpain and neurological pain, and
it's really helped tremendously.
I can feel it.
(20:53):
It's a slow, slow progressiontowards health.
I can feel it Even slowprogression towards health.
I can feel it even more so if Idon't do it.
I'm doing it almost every day,if I skip a couple of days.
I feel it, you feel it, I feelit.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
You know, I think, when you're talking about
getting down to that cellularlevel, um, you know people talk
about the mitochondria of thecell, that's the powerhouse of
the cell, and um, so I'm a bigproponent of methylene blue.
I take methylene blue because Itake the pill for them.
I'm not going to do the liquidbecause I don't want blue teeth,
but you know it could bebeneficial for ADD, for people
(21:32):
you know, to help prevent, youknow, memory loss and dementia.
So I think that gettingstimulating that mitochondria of
the cell, that powerhouse, andthat's what these therapies can
help do, as well as adjunctivethings and, like you mentioned,
layering the good food, thevitamins and healthy lifestyle
(21:56):
and getting adequate sleep youknow people don't understand.
You know you need sleep.
That's so People don'tunderstand you need sleep.
That's so important.
If we're not sleeping well, Idon't think you're going to have
any issues with people coming.
The thing is, if you build it,they will come, and I think
America has woke up Instead ofgoing woke.
(22:18):
We have had a great awakeningand I think more and more people
are wanting to have betterhealth and I'm really excited
about the administration we havenow.
I'm excited about RFK being onboard and some of the physicians
coming on board, dr Oz and I'mthinking we're going to see some
(22:42):
really great changes.
But it's going to take time.
But it takes the individualwanting to take ownership of
their own health and being theirown best advocate.
Don't you agree?
Speaker 3 (22:50):
A hundred percent.
A hundred percent.
You know again.
Yeah, you know, not justrelying on the doctor to know
everything, because they don't.
It's all a science experimentevery single day and when we
walk in there's some things theyknow.
Well, here, take this, this isgoing to help you with your.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
And this is how they're trained.
It's not the physician's fault,right?
I mean, they're trained acertain way and it's a
prescription and you know, a lotof times if you have somebody
come in it's like, well, youjust do something, you know.
But unfortunately, when youknow a lot of people were sent
home with COVID, you know, witha pulse oximeter, and nothing
was done for those individualswhere we knew that with the
(23:29):
frontline doctors there were alot.
We really don't have a name forthis, or we do have a name for
it.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
We've given it this name because we really don't
know what's caused it.
We don't know how to cure it andthere is no answer for them.
And there's so many people likethat, that, I think, that are
stuck in this place, that theonly answer is a prescription
medicine and, like you said, somany factors come into play here
.
Answer is a prescriptionmedicine and, like you said, so
many factors come into play hereour sleep, stress in our lives
(24:08):
and the food and the water andjust the environment.
And so we've got to really,like you said, take control of
this ourselves, manage itourselves and not rely on
somebody, and all we're tryingto do is give somebody the tools
to be able to do that.
We want them to be able tounderstand.
We will help you, understandwhat these modalities will do to
help you, but you got to tellus, you have to tell us is it
helping?
Do we need to try somethingelse?
(24:28):
Do you find it beneficial?
Speaker 2 (24:31):
or not.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
And I really hope and pray that it does.
It, will it really do so we'rereally focused on so we want to
make sure that we're capturingas much of the population as we
can.
We're building the facility tobe fully handicap accessible.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
A hyperbaric chamber that's going to be wheelchair
accessible, a custom-built saunathat we can get a wheelchair in
, a lift that's going to getpeople from the wheelchair into
the cold plunge if they're sobrave.
Yes, right, discounts forveterans and seniors and we're
going to donate a portion of ournet profits to a charity every
(25:10):
year.
So very excited.
We just want to be able to helppeople, individuals and the
community at large.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
And it will.
And I love what you're doing,that you're not out there saying
that this is the be all end.
All this is other therapies,other means that can add to what
you're doing, but I think thekey to any of these things is
consistency, right, kevin?
Yeah, I would say so?
Speaker 3 (25:34):
I would say so.
It depends on people'sparticular needs.
It depends on people'sparticular needs.
But you're right, it won't be.
Let's do this for a week andyou'll be cured right.
It will be consistent.
You'll have to be consistentwith it.
You'll have to stay with it forsome period of time.
We don't know what that isnecessarily, but, for instance,
(25:54):
the red light bed there areprograms already in the bed that
will tell you if you're dealingwith chronic back pain.
Do it this many times a weekfor this long, and what we're
hoping for?
Just see a reduction inwhatever people are challenged
with, and then you can just geton a maintenance schedule, right
(26:15):
?
Yes, and it'll be just muchlike your exercise routine,
right?
I've got to get up and I've gotto exercise, right?
Well, you got to get up and yougot to do your therapy.
Also, take care of yourself,right.
Take care of yourself becauseof the end result you're going
to be healthier, you're going tofeel better, you're going to
live longer, you're going tolook better.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yes, right, that's the goal, and I think just you
know how do you feel.
Do you feel better?
Yeah, isn't that amazing.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
Isn't it great to wake up and feel good in the
mornings.
What a gift.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
What a gift.

Because every day is a gift.

We're going to go to events andwe're going to introduce people
to some of these therapies attheir location, so that you know
(27:47):
we can introduce them to them,so they can understand what's
going on.
That's great A lot of this Ithink people have heard about,
but application probably not.
They haven't tried a lot ofthem.
And then some of them theymaybe just have never heard of
before.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Right, right.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Again.
So, and a lot of it again isjust looking better.
Right, the red light therapy,for instance, is FDA approved
for skin care for wrinkles.
Right, for acne pain reliefright, FDA approved.
So it's already gone throughthat regime of you know, getting
(28:28):
approved and understood that itdoes work.
