Speaker 1 (00:00):
But welcome to today's podcast replay from the
Killer B Studios.
Let's go ahead and dive on in.
Tonight, our topic is going tobe about health and longevity.
Now did I say that word right?
That's a pretty big word for meOkay.
I should pick up right when Isaid that let's talk about where
this came from, why we'retalking about this tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So I've actually been interested in health for a long
time, and so I'm always on thelookout for new resources and
things like that.
And I saw on Netflix adocu-series.
Have any of you heard of thedocu-series called Live to a
Hundred Secrets from the BlueZone?
Have you heard of it yet?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh good, this is exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, because we're going to give you a little.
You know some tidbits here andthere, but if you have Netflix
and you are able to watch it, itis such a good series.
So the point of it is, a bluezone is a place that has people
that live to 100 years old atmuch higher concentrations than
anywhere else in the world.
(01:03):
So this particular series isfollowing, I think, six or seven
or eight maybe, places in theworld where people live to 100
in just much higher percentages,and so I meant to look it up
and I forgot.
The guy who put together thedocu-series has been studying
longevity for, I think, like 30years, and so he travels to all
(01:27):
of these places and interviewsthe people, lives with them for
a while to see what their habitsare intentional or
unintentional and then is tryingto make connections about what
is making people live healthierlives and longer lives, and so,
yeah, so we're really excitedabout it, and we've been talking
about ways to incorporate someof these things that we're
(01:49):
learning into our lives, and wewanted to share those things
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, so does this sound exciting to you guys?
You guys interested to hearabout this and some of the
things we've been learning?
All right, great.
So let me ask you this hasanybody, does anybody here know
someone that is over 100 yearsold?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, all right, no, and anybody know anybody that's
oh, that's like that's in their90s.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Anybody know someone that's in their 90s.
Oh, don, don and Skyler, allright, cool, awesome.
Oh, and Taylor, okay, does any.
Either one of you want to share?
I'm going to ask you do eitherone of you want to share
something that maybe that personhas has taught you that, maybe
something that you kind of holddear to you?
Either one of you, one of you,have something like that you'd
like to share, skyler, or yeah,come on down.
(02:35):
Come on down on the mic, skyler.
Thank you.
Thanks for joining us, hey guys.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hey, hi.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Thanks for being here , thank you for having me.
My mother she's actually 93years old, wow, and she's
phenomenal woman.
She gets around, she has all ofher wits about her and I think
she learned early to kind ofkeep her stress down.
And I would only contribute herkeeping her stress down.
(03:01):
She retired at a very early age, I'm going to say like in her
40, 45.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And she's just had a pretty good life.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You know, raised her children happy home and
everything as well.
I think her longevity is lessstress.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Wow, who here would could use some less stress with
some confetti?
Yeah, yeah, I think all of us,yeah, a lot of us here.
So, skyler, let me ask you whatis one thing that your mother
has passed on to you?
Like you know what?
That's what I'm going toremember, like that's so
important, a treasure to youthat you hold dear.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Keep your family close.
Never forget who God is.
He's always a part of who youare.
And she and I just spent sometime together, just one on one
time about a month or so ago,and she made it very clear that
our time with God, having him inour hearts, counting on him for
all things, is something that Iwould cherish.
(03:58):
Spending time with her, thatshe's really All right.
That's all I got.
Yeah, he's always just kept mecentered in that way.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Dealing with stress is something that he touches on
in this series, and I'm gonnacome back to that later because
it's fascinating what he saysabout that, but so Olivia, I'm
gonna ask you if you can putyour hand around on Mike.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I would like to ask you a question before we start
diving into this is, when youthink about longevity and health
, what first comes to your mind?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
for me now it's kind of changed, and I think of
mental health.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, that's good, yeah, that's good, that's good,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, as you go through life and you know,
different things becomeImportant to you or apparent to
you in some cases.
You know, you just look athealth in different ways
altogether, and for me I guess,like the journey that that we've
been on for many years is Ialways Associated health and
longevity primarily with diet,so I knew that other things were
(05:02):
important too, but I justthought that was the most
important, and so that is one ofthe fascinating things that I
learned from this Docu-series isas he's going through these
different cultures and comparingtheir lifestyles.
Diet is important, but therewere so many other things that
are important to that.
Diet just played a small part,and my favorite thing that I
(05:25):
learned can you know, dealingwith diet, is that a lot of
these places that have highrates of longevity they eat
their carbs.
Man, they eat pasta, they, ricethey eat.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I see confetti other.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Like all you hear ever is oh, don't eat carbs,
they're evil.
And I'm just happy to know,like you know, carbs are not bad
for you need them in your bodyand.
But the beautiful thing is like, in particular, like the
Italians, you know, they eat alot of bread, they eat a lot of
pasta, but they also eat tonsand tons of vegetables.
They eat less in general, youknow, fewer calories than we do
(06:08):
in America, and all of thosethings kind of lend themselves
to better health.
So, yeah, I thought you'd behappy to know that about the
bread and pasta.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I know I was.
I was like, yeah, and, andthey're eating meat too.
And so I was like, oh really,okay, I mean not nothing.
I mean obviously you don't haveto eat meat.
There might be vegetarians here.
Mrs Killer B used to be avegetarian she, she wasn't.
When we started dating I saidthat's good, because we probably
would never got married, wouldnever made it.
No, actually, we morevegetarian stuff now do.
Now, then we do anything.
(06:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We had more Vegan dinners and and they would meet
that's true, but I do not thinkyou would have married me if I
was a vegetarian when we met.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, no, no, I don't know if we ever told you guys
that story, but the first timewhen we were married and she put
together this really nicedinner, I did not.
Okay, I'm paying the picture,as you know, it's from her shoes
.
Okay, this is not the way I wasseeing it, but she put together
, she worked really hard, puttogether this beautiful meal and
I came down and sat down she'slike dinner's ready and I came
(07:06):
to the table and I sat down andI said Where's the meat?
She's like oh my gosh.
So we made it through that, butI had no idea.
I was just like where's themeat?
Like where's it at?
Where are you hiding it?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But I love that story too.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It is very interesting to see the diet
aspect of it.
Now I'll tell you one thingthat really, again, you guys
should definitely go check outthis series, because there's
this docu-series, becausethere's a lot of information.
Like we're not even going to beable to cover it all, but we
wanted to share some of thethings that's been really
touching with us because we'retrying to make better decisions
too.
As you know, I'm coming out ofa health issue and I feel a lot
(07:49):
better.
So I'm like, okay, I want topay attention.
What do I need to change in mylife too?
One of the things that reallysurprised me and Skyler said
that you know, her mom was like,really, it sounded like she was
really active and stuff still,which is awesome, and that was
one thing that was reallysurprising about this series.
You would think that people intheir hundreds, you'd be like,
okay, they're probably going tobe moving around pretty slowly.
(08:11):
There were guys jumping onhorses and I mean I was like how
in the world would sit inIndian style and like raising
themselves up like they're doingyogurts up, and I'm like what
the heck?
They're living activelifestyles, really active, and
some of the interesting things.
That was really standing out tome was they pointed out, mrs
(08:34):
Cooley.
They pointed out about howelderly is here in the States,
how a lot of us are injuredbecause of falls, right?
Is that what he was talkingabout there?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Falls lack of mobility, yeah, like losing the
strength in your lower body andyour stability.
Mainly, you know your corestrength and all that At all.
You know if you're not using ityou're going to lose it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You know, yeah, not using it, you're going to lose
it.
You should write a song aboutthat.
It's kind of rhymes, oh maybe Iwill If it rhymes.
You're supposed to do a song.
I think he's hovering over thatbutton right now, I see her.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, she is so close .
Okay, yeah, I was, but I let itslide.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Let it slide.
I saw her, she was like this,she like ran over like real
quick of her new legs.
I was like, nah, that's great,that's great, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You're on the nice though, mister.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I know, I know.
So what was cool, though, wasto see like there was one guy
again.
He was like sitting in theinstill and lifting himself up,
and I was like, how in the worldis he doing that?
And they were talking about howone of the things that they
realized is they are very activelike active lifestyles Now, not
active like throughout theirworking out and trying to build
all this muscle they're justdoing they're not going to the
(09:40):
gym and stuff.
They're doing normal thingsevery day, like from, like you
say, like going to the garden,picking things from the garden.
What was really cool?
Walking places.
They had a one town.
They realized the town itself,like they all would have to walk
up a hill to go where they wantto come, wanted to go, and then
they'd walk back down.
So it was just normalactivities.
(10:03):
Helped with that.
And then also this was whatreally shocked me and we're
still trying to figure out whatare we going to do here was they
talked about the.
They sit down on the ground Likethey sit to the ground, they
sit lower.
So whenever they sit down,they're basically doing like a
squat, getting up and down.
So they're using those muscles.
(10:24):
Where us, you know, I justslide on the couch Half of the
time.
I'm like I'm just like, okay,let me just fall on the couch
and let me slide off the couch,and it's like I'm never using
those muscles much.
So we've been talking aboutthat.
Even with the Oculus.
I'm like, well, maybe, whichI'm?
I'm sitting in the chair rightnow.
So I didn't do it.
Sitting on the couch.
Okay, you're sitting on thecouch, okay.
I said, well, maybe when we'reon the Oculus we'll just sit on
(10:46):
the floor too.
To that way, if we're gettingup, we're doing a full.
You know a full, I guess squator whatever you call it?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
There was something about dieting too.
I just remembered that I thinkit was important to hit two, and
you were talking about it.
It's about the what was it?
The 2080 thing, or what wasthat.
Remember that?
Sure, that was really.
We've been practicing it andit's not easy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's not easy, but okay, this is a Japanese
principle that is called well.
I mean, I can't say the words.
It's three words and it meansout of 10.
I'm sorry, it means eight outof 10.
But the practical meaning of itis stop eating when you're 80%
full.
And before they sit down fortheir dinner, they say the same
(11:28):
to themselves and it's just areminder, like 8 out of 10, I'm
gonna stop when I'm 80% full,and we've been trying.
And let me tell you, you know,when you've got a plate of
something amazing in front ofyou.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
To make that choice.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But, you know, it's how, when you don't stuff
yourself, to how much better youfeel.
You know, because your bodyDoesn't want you to be stuffed
like that when you're trying todigest.
And yeah, so I've, we've beenpracticing that and it's helpful
.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
We've been practicing .
I mean, I would love to knowhow everybody here in the
audience throwing so confetti tolet me know if, how many of you
just have a hard time actuallyStopping because you're like,
hey, I'm a healthy fool like you, just keep eating to finish it.
Because for me it's like if Ihave something on the plate,
even if I'm full, like I'm notgonna waste that food, so I just
keep eating.
Okay, I see Skyler, yet, yeah,okay, anybody else in here?
(12:25):
Yeah, yeah, it's hard, it'sreally hard to do that,
especially like the other nightwe were.
We were talking about it.
We ate dinner.
I was a healthy fool and MrsKiller B orders me this little
pint of ice cream that's like a,it's like a dairy-free ice
cream, because I can't havedairy and I love that stuff, and
I ate the whole pint and I'mlike sitting there just watching
(12:46):
TV, which was something theypointed out.
They said Because we'rewatching.
What is that show that we'rewatching right now?
Morning show the morning show,yeah.
So I don't know any morningshow fans in here like, yeah,
okay, yeah, yeah, it's reallycool.
So we were watching that.
And If people might be thinkinglike, is that like the news
thing?
It's actually the morning showon Apple TV, so like it's so a
(13:08):
really cool show, but anyways,we're watching that.
So I'm just keep eating thisice cream, I was like, oh, I'm
so full, I'm like the icecream's gone, I ate the whole
thing.
And one of the things theypointed out was that they
noticed that those, the peoplein these areas Is they eat
around a table which we're gonnaget to the community part,
because when you're eatingaround people and talking, you
(13:29):
actually eat less and slower.
So I'm guessing like that helpsyou process the food more, so
you're processing it, not justeating and eating.
But they said if you'rewatching something, if you're
just feeding your mind ofsomething and just eating,
you're just watching and eating.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, it's harder to hear the signals your body
sending you.
Yeah, some of you might haveheard my story before about how,
you know, when Brian and metOlivia started this show and met
Olivia was the you know, thepermanent co-host.
I was not interested at all ingetting a headset.
I was just like, you know, it'sjust not for me.
I mean, I just I'm not a techperson, I don't understand
(14:08):
anything about it.
I just didn't think it was forme and so I think it was about
right about a year in, andOlivia, you know, was like
interested in having a littlemore time free in the evenings
and stuff like that.
And I told Mr Killer B like Iwant to do it, I want to be the
co-host.
And he said are you kidding me?
And it was because of all ofthe stories that I've heard that
(14:35):
have come through this show andthe connections that Everyone
here has made and the thingsthat happen.
And I just, you know, I wasjust like I want to be a part of
that and I really liked what I,what I saw happening here and
so, yes, I just wanted to saythat like I know that people
(14:56):
Might look at you and say you'resitting there on a headset
playing a game in virtualreality, like that's not real
life.
You shouldn't be doing that,and I just want to encourage you
, like I Love the connections Isee happening here, the
relationships that I seehappening here, the things that
are happening.
(15:16):
It is beautiful, and I know thatit's hard.
I know that people don'tunderstand what's happening here
, but you know what they'regoing to, because this is
getting bigger and bigger.
People are seeing more of it,and so I just want to encourage
you, like keep on opening upyour hearts to the people around
you, because beautiful thingsare happening here and, of
(15:39):
course, still be a part ofcommunity in whatever way you
can.
You know, in real life, ofcourse, too.
I'm not saying that, but yes,I'm just so.
I'm thankful for this and I'mthankful for the conversations
that I've had with so many ofyou and you know the real
friendships that are beingformed here.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I, it really is .
Like that was part of thethings in the blues and was they
said they realized that thepeople that were connected with
community Were living longer.
They were actually gettingtogether, people talking,
hanging out, you know, eatingfood together, dancing, some of
them drinking beer together.
They just had community.
They got together and theyspent time with each other.
(16:16):
And I love that because we, wewere talking about that.
I was like you know, communityis even happening in here, like
we probably connect with morepeople in here than we do in
real life because everybody's sobusy in real life too.
But you guys make it a point tocome out hang out.
Like we were just over a Burdenand Proust place last night
doing a show and then we wentover to his loft and hung out
(16:38):
out there.
Really it was really just agreat night meeting new people,
good people with good heartsthat want to do amazing.
They are doing amazing thingsin here.
Exactly but people really careabout you.
You know I've shared of MrsKillerB.
I was like when I was goingthrough the health stuff which
it sound like, I said it helldidn't it, but it helped.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Kind of a little yes it's kind of both.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It was felt like I was going through some hell but
but it was like health, thehealth issues.
But people in here werereaching out to me, praying for
me, checking it on me.
I'm like, wow, that's amazing.
That's amazing.
But that helps.
That shows in the blue zone.
Those people live longer.
So there's power that thiscommunity actually helps your
guys's health as well.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
What ties right into that is purpose.
You know, I know a lot ofpeople here are not just here
just for the community or justfor the friendship, but there's
a purpose behind the connectionthat's happening here and that
is a big part of Living ahealthy life is knowing why
you're getting up every day,knowing why you're putting that
(17:43):
time in whatever you're doing.
You know Purpose is soimportant to our mental health.
You know, because if you feellike you have no purpose or you
have no Calling you have there'sa reason why you're here on the
earth then that that reallydoes a number on you mentally.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You know as we get older, we start looking more at
that, like, what is what am Idoing?
Is this really what I want todo?
Is this what is my purpose?
And they that was part of thething that I did share that
these people woke up, they knewwhat their purpose was, what
they're supposed to do that day,and that's what they were
focused on.
Like it didn't matter whatother people thought, whatever
people said, it was theirpurpose, like this is what I've
(18:24):
got to do, this is what I amdoing and that's what they
focused on.
It was beautiful, and but someof that purpose was also, you
know, a lot of them like thepeople has walked up and down
the hills, they're, they allwent to church and they would
walk all the way up to thechurch and they said they would
go there every day and then theywalk all the way back.
Well, and then we talked about,you know, managing stress.
Skyler was talking about that alittle bit too.
(18:45):
That was a big piece of itmanaging their stress.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, and well, something that he had an expert
on there that was talking about,about mental health and Ways to
manage stress and things likethat but something she said that
really struck me is that wewere not made to be able to
handle the problems of the wholeworld.
So when you know, when we'regetting all of this information
(19:14):
on new, on the news, on Facebook, on Twitter, everywhere, you
know there's things coming at usfrom every direction.
When you are Taking all of thatin and there is nothing you can
do about that situation, thatis unresolvable stress, because
the way that we resolve stressis by having a, a plan, like
(19:37):
having steps that we can Take toresolve that problem.
Like you know, stress in amarriage, stress in a family,
stress at work If you just keepstuffing everybody knows this if
you just keep stuffing things,you know, just like putting it,
you're not gonna talk about it,you're not gonna deal with it,
that stuff all comes upeventually, right, everybody
(19:59):
knows that.
But All of these things that weare taking in, all of the
disasters All over the world,all the evil things that are
happening, when you keep hearingabout that, hearing about that,
hearing about that, and there'snothing that you can do to help
that situation.
You can't let that go again, andso it's important to limit how
(20:22):
much you are letting thosethings Into your thoughts and
your heart.
You know there are some thingswe can do things about.
You know, I mean just as aquick, like little advertisement
.
You know CompassionInternational or the other
organizations that help takecare of underprivileged children
(20:44):
.
You know I love knowing that wehave ways that we can help
those children, even though wecan't go over there and do
something ourselves.
So I just say all that to sayyou have to be careful about
what you are letting take upspace in your mind and the
things that you are lettingstress you out.
And if you realize it is notirresponsible to not watch the
(21:05):
news, okay, because if somethingis important enough you're
going to hear about it.
But it's overwhelming to yourmind and your heart and your
soul to be inundating yourselfwith that day after day after
day.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, that's actually a really good point, because
they did point out about howthey don't have connection to
all that stuff, that they're notfeeding themselves to that
every day, which is anotherpiece of it.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
They're like taking care of their community.
They're solving problems intheir community.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And Olivia, as we're waiting to see if anybody wants
to come in and share theirthoughts about what we've been
talking about.
Do you have any thoughts rightnow about some of the stuff
we've talked about, especiallymaybe even about the part about
managing stress?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
We would love to hear your ideas.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I was going to ask real quick.
Shana was one of the art.
Miscalary was one of the places, sardinia, that they studied
yes.
Yeah, because I've heard, I'veseen another documentary about
how they just live.
They eat pasta every day andall of that.
Yeah, but anyways.
But I'm wondering, as youfinish, if sleep is one of the
(22:05):
things, because Mr Killer B Idon't know if you've got to it
in the book the RuthlessElimination of Hurry, but he
talks about how we think thatit's okay to be getting five
hours of sleep.
But our body like back in theolden days, they would actually
get 13 hours of sleep.
(22:27):
They had no electricity, soonce it got like dusk or
whatever, they just went tosleep.
Yeah.
So I'm wondering if that willbe a part of it as well.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I'm sure it will.
I'm sure it will.
And yeah, that's an interestingpart of that book too, because
it's like you think, like whenhe talks about the things of
hurry that really starteddownspiring, you wouldn't have
thought it came from when theycreated electricity, where you
could turn on light, right.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
People stay up long.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's like whoa yeah, so that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Go ahead One thing that you just reminded me of,
olivia, is that he did talkabout how important it is to
have a time of rest Like.
You know, different cultureslook at it differently, but
basically you know, like what wemight look at like a Sabbath,
you know, and he talked aboutthat how important it is to have
that time to rest Like and heeven said that like not even
(23:21):
just sleep, but just like a restfor your soul.
Yeah, so I'll let you know, ifthat comes up again too Awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I was going to tell you, Mrs Killer B, the guy's
name is Dan Butner, I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Oh yeah, okay, good job.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, I mean I would love maybe.
I mean I'll reach out to him,Maybe he'll come in here
sometime.
You'll see if we can get him tocome in here and really talk
about it, because he's veryknowledgeable and done all this
research.
Maybe we can get him to comehere and talk more about it in
depth.
That would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, definitely, please do.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So, yeah, so we'll reach out to him and who knows,
who knows, maybe he'll come joinus in the metaverse.
Mrs Killer B, as we wrap up,what closing thought would you
share with everybody about whatwe've learned about the blue
zone so far?
Well, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So I would think because it's what I want to say
to you and what I want to say tomyself is that we can always
look at the things that we'redoing in our life and ask if is
this helping me become healthieror is this making me become
less healthy?
Is this hurting me?
Because there are a lot ofthings that we might do in our
(24:30):
lives to escape things that hurtus, or to escape boredom, or to
try to deal with feelings thatwe're not.
You know, mr Killer B and Iwere talking the other night and
we were saying like it seemslike a lot of the things in our
lives that we can do to accessand hurt ourselves are all
because it all happens becausewe're not dealing with our
(24:53):
emotional health.
And I know that's certainly thecase for myself, and you know
whether that's overeating, youknow indulging in too much TV.
That's what I want to do, andyou know all the things that you
can do that you can use in anunhealthy way.
It's for a reason.
(25:13):
You know you're doing that fora reason because life is hard
and sometimes we don't want todeal with the things that we're,
you know, trying not to dealwith.
So I would just say take a good, honest look at your life and
look at the things that you justneed to deal with, you know.
Figure out if you need to finda counselor and talk that
(25:34):
through.
You know, sometimes you have areally good friend who can be
honest with you and you can workthrough some of those things.
Whatever you got to do, justfigure out what it is that is
holding you back and causing youto hurt yourself and in the
long run that hurts everyonearound you and you know no one
wants to do that, but that's thetruth of it, and so that's what
(25:57):
I would like I said, want tosay to you and say to myself
like we can all make smallchoices every day.
It is really easy when you startlearning about health things to
become overwhelmed becausethere's a thousand things we
could do to become healthier.
But if you try to change allthousand things right away, it's
(26:17):
overwhelming.
You will give up.
It's expensive.
You know it's not a realisticway to to better your life.
But if you just pick a fewlittle tiny things that you can
work on and start to make thoseinto habits, then you can move
on something else.
It makes a bigger cumulativeeffect over your life.
Then if you just try, you knowI'm going to change these 10
(26:40):
things about my life.
Nah, forget it, I'm going to,you know.
Then you just go back to yourold ways and you never actually
change anything.
So yeah, start small.
Just be honest with yourselfabout what you can do.
That can make a big difference.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I think that's why the community part is so
important too, is you findpeople you can really trust.
That's through buildingcommunity and building
relationships.
Find those people.
Like you said, find a counselor.
If you need to talk to acounselor, if you guys are in
here, you guys need to look up amedical coach, because, I'm
telling you, a medical coach isa guy that an amazing guy.
If you're looking for acounselor, a connective medical
coach, his heart is amazing andhe is here to really help people
(27:17):
.
So reach out to him and justknow, like you're not alone.
Like you know, when, when I wasgoing through the health stuff,
I like to work out, like I usedto work out not like a lot of, I
used to like a lot of bodyweight training and I really got
into it a lot for a long timeand then I kind of backed off
but I was finally happy becauseI was able to start working out
again.
But then the health stuffhappened and literally it's been
(27:39):
, like you know, a total of likeover a year.
I haven't been able to do thethings I want to do and it was
really driving me insane andalso making me upset, because I
wanted to do that, but Icouldn't physically do it.
So I understand like there'sthings that some of us just
can't physically do.
That's okay.
That's okay.
You connective people, you know, leaning with, leaning with
(28:02):
other friends, and pray for eachother.
Be there for each other and Ilove the quote from Jason Gray
that's up there Be kind, becauseeveryone you meet is fighting
their own battle and needs toknow they matter.
I was in here today.
Everyone and a friend of minein here.
I had no idea we just came andwe were talking and and we were
just talking about praying foreach other and I'm actually like
(28:23):
I think I just, really justwant to say I just I just want
to give praise right now becauseI really feel like I'm I'm on
the up and it's been a long time.
So I just want to praise Godfor that.
And and this person shared that.
I asked him if there's anythingI could pray and they were
sharing that.
They went.
They're going throughdepression and I was kind of
like what I had no clue.
You never know.
(28:44):
Like, if you're going throughsomething like that, just know
like we've all been there andgone through stuff.
Just connect with somebody,connect with a medical coach
find someone that you can trustto talk to.
Don't do this life alone.
We wasn't created to do italone.
We were created to do ittogether.
That's why the community is soimportant.
Well, hey, thanks for tuning into today's podcast episode, if
(29:06):
you liked, loved today's episode.
Speaker 4 (29:10):
Go ahead and hit the subscribe button or leave us a
review.
But welcome to today's podcast replay from the
Killer B Studios.
Let's go ahead and dive on in.
Tonight, our topic is going tobe about health and longevity.
Now did I say that word right?
That's a pretty big word for meOkay.
I should pick up right when Isaid that let's talk about where
this came from, why we'retalking about this tonight.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
So I've actually been interested in health for a long
time, and so I'm always on thelookout for new resources and
things like that.
And I saw on Netflix adocu-series.
Have any of you heard of thedocu-series called Live to a
Hundred Secrets from the BlueZone?
Have you heard of it yet?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Oh good, this is exciting.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Okay, because we're going to give you a little.
You know some tidbits here andthere, but if you have Netflix
and you are able to watch it, itis such a good series.
So the point of it is, a bluezone is a place that has people
that live to 100 years old atmuch higher concentrations than
anywhere else in the world.
(01:03):
So this particular series isfollowing, I think, six or seven
or eight maybe, places in theworld where people live to 100
in just much higher percentages,and so I meant to look it up
and I forgot.
The guy who put together thedocu-series has been studying
longevity for, I think, like 30years, and so he travels to all
(01:27):
of these places and interviewsthe people, lives with them for
a while to see what their habitsare intentional or
unintentional and then is tryingto make connections about what
is making people live healthierlives and longer lives, and so,
yeah, so we're really excitedabout it, and we've been talking
about ways to incorporate someof these things that we're
(01:49):
learning into our lives, and wewanted to share those things
with you.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, so does this sound exciting to you guys?
You guys interested to hearabout this and some of the
things we've been learning?
All right, great.
So let me ask you this hasanybody, does anybody here know
someone that is over 100 yearsold?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, all right, no, and anybody know anybody that's
oh, that's like that's in their90s.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Anybody know someone that's in their 90s.
Oh, don, don and Skyler, allright, cool, awesome.
Oh, and Taylor, okay, does any.
Either one of you want to share?
I'm going to ask you do eitherone of you want to share
something that maybe that personhas has taught you that, maybe
something that you kind of holddear to you?
Either one of you, one of you,have something like that you'd
like to share, skyler, or yeah,come on down.
(02:35):
Come on down on the mic, skyler.
Thank you.
Thanks for joining us, hey guys.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Hey, hi.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Thanks for being here , thank you for having me.
My mother she's actually 93years old, wow, and she's
phenomenal woman.
She gets around, she has all ofher wits about her and I think
she learned early to kind ofkeep her stress down.
And I would only contribute herkeeping her stress down.
(03:01):
She retired at a very early age, I'm going to say like in her
40, 45.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
And she's just had a pretty good life.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
You know, raised her children happy home and
everything as well.
I think her longevity is lessstress.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
Wow, who here would could use some less stress with
some confetti?
Yeah, yeah, I think all of us,yeah, a lot of us here.
So, skyler, let me ask you whatis one thing that your mother
has passed on to you?
Like you know what?
That's what I'm going toremember, like that's so
important, a treasure to youthat you hold dear.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Keep your family close.
Never forget who God is.
He's always a part of who youare.
And she and I just spent sometime together, just one on one
time about a month or so ago,and she made it very clear that
our time with God, having him inour hearts, counting on him for
all things, is something that Iwould cherish.
(03:58):
Spending time with her, thatshe's really All right.
That's all I got.
Yeah, he's always just kept mecentered in that way.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Dealing with stress is something that he touches on
in this series, and I'm gonnacome back to that later because
it's fascinating what he saysabout that, but so Olivia, I'm
gonna ask you if you can putyour hand around on Mike.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I would like to ask you a question before we start
diving into this is, when youthink about longevity and health
, what first comes to your mind?
Speaker 4 (04:27):
for me now it's kind of changed, and I think of
mental health.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, that's good, yeah, that's good, that's good,
that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You know, as you go through life and you know,
different things becomeImportant to you or apparent to
you in some cases.
You know, you just look athealth in different ways
altogether, and for me I guess,like the journey that that we've
been on for many years is Ialways Associated health and
longevity primarily with diet,so I knew that other things were
(05:02):
important too, but I justthought that was the most
important, and so that is one ofthe fascinating things that I
learned from this Docu-series isas he's going through these
different cultures and comparingtheir lifestyles.
Diet is important, but therewere so many other things that
are important to that.
Diet just played a small part,and my favorite thing that I
(05:25):
learned can you know, dealingwith diet, is that a lot of
these places that have highrates of longevity they eat
their carbs.
Man, they eat pasta, they, ricethey eat.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
I see confetti other.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Like all you hear ever is oh, don't eat carbs,
they're evil.
And I'm just happy to know,like you know, carbs are not bad
for you need them in your bodyand.
But the beautiful thing is like, in particular, like the
Italians, you know, they eat alot of bread, they eat a lot of
pasta, but they also eat tonsand tons of vegetables.
They eat less in general, youknow, fewer calories than we do
(06:08):
in America, and all of thosethings kind of lend themselves
to better health.
So, yeah, I thought you'd behappy to know that about the
bread and pasta.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
I know I was.
I was like, yeah, and, andthey're eating meat too.
And so I was like, oh really,okay, I mean not nothing.
I mean obviously you don't haveto eat meat.
There might be vegetarians here.
Mrs Killer B used to be avegetarian she, she wasn't.
When we started dating I saidthat's good, because we probably
would never got married, wouldnever made it.
No, actually, we morevegetarian stuff now do.
Now, then we do anything.
(06:37):
Really.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
We had more Vegan dinners and and they would meet
that's true, but I do not thinkyou would have married me if I
was a vegetarian when we met.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
No, no, no, I don't know if we ever told you guys
that story, but the first timewhen we were married and she put
together this really nicedinner, I did not.
Okay, I'm paying the picture,as you know, it's from her shoes
.
Okay, this is not the way I wasseeing it, but she put together
, she worked really hard, puttogether this beautiful meal and
I came down and sat down she'slike dinner's ready and I came
(07:06):
to the table and I sat down andI said Where's the meat?
She's like oh my gosh.
So we made it through that, butI had no idea.
I was just like where's themeat?
Like where's it at?
Where are you hiding it?
Speaker 2 (07:24):
But I love that story too.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
It is very interesting to see the diet
aspect of it.
Now I'll tell you one thingthat really, again, you guys
should definitely go check outthis series, because there's
this docu-series, becausethere's a lot of information.
Like we're not even going to beable to cover it all, but we
wanted to share some of thethings that's been really
touching with us because we'retrying to make better decisions
too.
As you know, I'm coming out ofa health issue and I feel a lot
(07:49):
better.
So I'm like, okay, I want topay attention.
What do I need to change in mylife too?
One of the things that reallysurprised me and Skyler said
that you know, her mom was like,really, it sounded like she was
really active and stuff still,which is awesome, and that was
one thing that was reallysurprising about this series.
You would think that people intheir hundreds, you'd be like,
okay, they're probably going tobe moving around pretty slowly.
(08:11):
There were guys jumping onhorses and I mean I was like how
in the world would sit inIndian style and like raising
themselves up like they're doingyogurts up, and I'm like what
the heck?
They're living activelifestyles, really active, and
some of the interesting things.
That was really standing out tome was they pointed out, mrs
(08:34):
Cooley.
They pointed out about howelderly is here in the States,
how a lot of us are injuredbecause of falls, right?
Is that what he was talkingabout there?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Falls lack of mobility, yeah, like losing the
strength in your lower body andyour stability.
Mainly, you know your corestrength and all that At all.
You know if you're not using ityou're going to lose it.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
You know, yeah, not using it, you're going to lose
it.
You should write a song aboutthat.
It's kind of rhymes, oh maybe Iwill If it rhymes.
You're supposed to do a song.
I think he's hovering over thatbutton right now, I see her.
Speaker 4 (09:04):
Yeah, she is so close .
Okay, yeah, I was, but I let itslide.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Let it slide.
I saw her, she was like this,she like ran over like real
quick of her new legs.
I was like, nah, that's great,that's great, that's great.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
You're on the nice though, mister.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
I know, I know.
So what was cool, though, wasto see like there was one guy
again.
He was like sitting in theinstill and lifting himself up,
and I was like, how in the worldis he doing that?
And they were talking about howone of the things that they
realized is they are very activelike active lifestyles Now, not
active like throughout theirworking out and trying to build
all this muscle they're justdoing they're not going to the
(09:40):
gym and stuff.
They're doing normal thingsevery day, like from, like you
say, like going to the garden,picking things from the garden.
What was really cool?
Walking places.
They had a one town.
They realized the town itself,like they all would have to walk
up a hill to go where they wantto come, wanted to go, and then
they'd walk back down.
So it was just normalactivities.
(10:03):
Helped with that.
And then also this was whatreally shocked me and we're
still trying to figure out whatare we going to do here was they
talked about the.
They sit down on the ground Likethey sit to the ground, they
sit lower.
So whenever they sit down,they're basically doing like a
squat, getting up and down.
So they're using those muscles.
(10:24):
Where us, you know, I justslide on the couch Half of the
time.
I'm like I'm just like, okay,let me just fall on the couch
and let me slide off the couch,and it's like I'm never using
those muscles much.
So we've been talking aboutthat.
Even with the Oculus.
I'm like, well, maybe, whichI'm?
I'm sitting in the chair rightnow.
So I didn't do it.
Sitting on the couch.
Okay, you're sitting on thecouch, okay.
I said, well, maybe when we'reon the Oculus we'll just sit on
(10:46):
the floor too.
To that way, if we're gettingup, we're doing a full.
You know a full, I guess squator whatever you call it?
Speaker 2 (10:51):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
There was something about dieting too.
I just remembered that I thinkit was important to hit two, and
you were talking about it.
It's about the what was it?
The 2080 thing, or what wasthat.
Remember that?
Sure, that was really.
We've been practicing it andit's not easy.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's not easy, but okay, this is a Japanese
principle that is called well.
I mean, I can't say the words.
It's three words and it meansout of 10.
I'm sorry, it means eight outof 10.
But the practical meaning of itis stop eating when you're 80%
full.
And before they sit down fortheir dinner, they say the same
(11:28):
to themselves and it's just areminder, like 8 out of 10, I'm
gonna stop when I'm 80% full,and we've been trying.
And let me tell you, you know,when you've got a plate of
something amazing in front ofyou.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
To make that choice.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But, you know, it's how, when you don't stuff
yourself, to how much better youfeel.
You know, because your bodyDoesn't want you to be stuffed
like that when you're trying todigest.
And yeah, so I've, we've beenpracticing that and it's helpful
.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
We've been practicing .
I mean, I would love to knowhow everybody here in the
audience throwing so confetti tolet me know if, how many of you
just have a hard time actuallyStopping because you're like,
hey, I'm a healthy fool like you, just keep eating to finish it.
Because for me it's like if Ihave something on the plate,
even if I'm full, like I'm notgonna waste that food, so I just
keep eating.
Okay, I see Skyler, yet, yeah,okay, anybody else in here?
(12:25):
Yeah, yeah, it's hard, it'sreally hard to do that,
especially like the other nightwe were.
We were talking about it.
We ate dinner.
I was a healthy fool and MrsKiller B orders me this little
pint of ice cream that's like a,it's like a dairy-free ice
cream, because I can't havedairy and I love that stuff, and
I ate the whole pint and I'mlike sitting there just watching
(12:46):
TV, which was something theypointed out.
They said Because we'rewatching.
What is that show that we'rewatching right now?
Morning show the morning show,yeah.
So I don't know any morningshow fans in here like, yeah,
okay, yeah, yeah, it's reallycool.
So we were watching that.
And If people might be thinkinglike, is that like the news
thing?
It's actually the morning showon Apple TV, so like it's so a
(13:08):
really cool show, but anyways,we're watching that.
So I'm just keep eating thisice cream, I was like, oh, I'm
so full, I'm like the icecream's gone, I ate the whole
thing.
And one of the things theypointed out was that they
noticed that those, the peoplein these areas Is they eat
around a table which we're gonnaget to the community part,
because when you're eatingaround people and talking, you
(13:29):
actually eat less and slower.
So I'm guessing like that helpsyou process the food more, so
you're processing it, not justeating and eating.
But they said if you'rewatching something, if you're
just feeding your mind ofsomething and just eating,
you're just watching and eating.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Yeah, it's harder to hear the signals your body
sending you.
Yeah, some of you might haveheard my story before about how,
you know, when Brian and metOlivia started this show and met
Olivia was the you know, thepermanent co-host.
I was not interested at all ingetting a headset.
I was just like, you know, it'sjust not for me.
I mean, I just I'm not a techperson, I don't understand
(14:08):
anything about it.
I just didn't think it was forme and so I think it was about
right about a year in, andOlivia, you know, was like
interested in having a littlemore time free in the evenings
and stuff like that.
And I told Mr Killer B like Iwant to do it, I want to be the
co-host.
And he said are you kidding me?
And it was because of all ofthe stories that I've heard that
(14:35):
have come through this show andthe connections that Everyone
here has made and the thingsthat happen.
And I just, you know, I wasjust like I want to be a part of
that and I really liked what I,what I saw happening here and
so, yes, I just wanted to saythat like I know that people
(14:56):
Might look at you and say you'resitting there on a headset
playing a game in virtualreality, like that's not real
life.
You shouldn't be doing that,and I just want to encourage you
, like I Love the connections Isee happening here, the
relationships that I seehappening here, the things that
are happening.
(15:16):
It is beautiful, and I know thatit's hard.
I know that people don'tunderstand what's happening here
, but you know what they'regoing to, because this is
getting bigger and bigger.
People are seeing more of it,and so I just want to encourage
you, like keep on opening upyour hearts to the people around
you, because beautiful thingsare happening here and, of
(15:39):
course, still be a part ofcommunity in whatever way you
can.
You know, in real life, ofcourse, too.
I'm not saying that, but yes,I'm just so.
I'm thankful for this and I'mthankful for the conversations
that I've had with so many ofyou and you know the real
friendships that are beingformed here.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Yeah, I, it really is .
Like that was part of thethings in the blues and was they
said they realized that thepeople that were connected with
community Were living longer.
They were actually gettingtogether, people talking,
hanging out, you know, eatingfood together, dancing, some of
them drinking beer together.
They just had community.
They got together and theyspent time with each other.
(16:16):
And I love that because we, wewere talking about that.
I was like you know, communityis even happening in here, like
we probably connect with morepeople in here than we do in
real life because everybody's sobusy in real life too.
But you guys make it a point tocome out hang out.
Like we were just over a Burdenand Proust place last night
doing a show and then we wentover to his loft and hung out
(16:38):
out there.
Really it was really just agreat night meeting new people,
good people with good heartsthat want to do amazing.
They are doing amazing thingsin here.
Exactly but people really careabout you.
You know I've shared of MrsKillerB.
I was like when I was goingthrough the health stuff which
it sound like, I said it helldidn't it, but it helped.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Kind of a little yes it's kind of both.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
It was felt like I was going through some hell but
but it was like health, thehealth issues.
But people in here werereaching out to me, praying for
me, checking it on me.
I'm like, wow, that's amazing.
That's amazing.
But that helps.
That shows in the blue zone.
Those people live longer.
So there's power that thiscommunity actually helps your
guys's health as well.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
What ties right into that is purpose.
You know, I know a lot ofpeople here are not just here
just for the community or justfor the friendship, but there's
a purpose behind the connectionthat's happening here and that
is a big part of Living ahealthy life is knowing why
you're getting up every day,knowing why you're putting that
(17:43):
time in whatever you're doing.
You know Purpose is soimportant to our mental health.
You know, because if you feellike you have no purpose or you
have no Calling you have there'sa reason why you're here on the
earth then that that reallydoes a number on you mentally.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
You know as we get older, we start looking more at
that, like, what is what am Idoing?
Is this really what I want todo?
Is this what is my purpose?
And they that was part of thething that I did share that
these people woke up, they knewwhat their purpose was, what
they're supposed to do that day,and that's what they were
focused on.
Like it didn't matter whatother people thought, whatever
people said, it was theirpurpose, like this is what I've
(18:24):
got to do, this is what I amdoing and that's what they
focused on.
It was beautiful, and but someof that purpose was also, you
know, a lot of them like thepeople has walked up and down
the hills, they're, they allwent to church and they would
walk all the way up to thechurch and they said they would
go there every day and then theywalk all the way back.
Well, and then we talked about,you know, managing stress.
Skyler was talking about that alittle bit too.
(18:45):
That was a big piece of itmanaging their stress.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
Yeah, and well, something that he had an expert
on there that was talking about,about mental health and Ways to
manage stress and things likethat but something she said that
really struck me is that wewere not made to be able to
handle the problems of the wholeworld.
So when you know, when we'regetting all of this information
(19:14):
on new, on the news, on Facebook, on Twitter, everywhere, you
know there's things coming at usfrom every direction.
When you are Taking all of thatin and there is nothing you can
do about that situation, thatis unresolvable stress, because
the way that we resolve stressis by having a, a plan, like
(19:37):
having steps that we can Take toresolve that problem.
Like you know, stress in amarriage, stress in a family,
stress at work If you just keepstuffing everybody knows this if
you just keep stuffing things,you know, just like putting it,
you're not gonna talk about it,you're not gonna deal with it,
that stuff all comes upeventually, right, everybody
(19:59):
knows that.
But All of these things that weare taking in, all of the
disasters All over the world,all the evil things that are
happening, when you keep hearingabout that, hearing about that,
hearing about that, and there'snothing that you can do to help
that situation.
You can't let that go again, andso it's important to limit how
(20:22):
much you are letting thosethings Into your thoughts and
your heart.
You know there are some thingswe can do things about.
You know, I mean just as aquick, like little advertisement
.
You know CompassionInternational or the other
organizations that help takecare of underprivileged children
(20:44):
.
You know I love knowing that wehave ways that we can help
those children, even though wecan't go over there and do
something ourselves.
So I just say all that to sayyou have to be careful about
what you are letting take upspace in your mind and the
things that you are lettingstress you out.
And if you realize it is notirresponsible to not watch the
(21:05):
news, okay, because if somethingis important enough you're
going to hear about it.
But it's overwhelming to yourmind and your heart and your
soul to be inundating yourselfwith that day after day after
day.
Speaker 1 (21:19):
Yeah, that's actually a really good point, because
they did point out about howthey don't have connection to
all that stuff, that they're notfeeding themselves to that
every day, which is anotherpiece of it.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
They're like taking care of their community.
They're solving problems intheir community.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
And Olivia, as we're waiting to see if anybody wants
to come in and share theirthoughts about what we've been
talking about.
Do you have any thoughts rightnow about some of the stuff
we've talked about, especiallymaybe even about the part about
managing stress?
Speaker 2 (21:42):
We would love to hear your ideas.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
I was going to ask real quick.
Shana was one of the art.
Miscalary was one of the places, sardinia, that they studied
yes.
Yeah, because I've heard, I'veseen another documentary about
how they just live.
They eat pasta every day andall of that.
Yeah, but anyways.
But I'm wondering, as youfinish, if sleep is one of the
(22:05):
things, because Mr Killer B Idon't know if you've got to it
in the book the RuthlessElimination of Hurry, but he
talks about how we think thatit's okay to be getting five
hours of sleep.
But our body like back in theolden days, they would actually
get 13 hours of sleep.
(22:27):
They had no electricity, soonce it got like dusk or
whatever, they just went tosleep.
Yeah.
So I'm wondering if that willbe a part of it as well.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
I'm sure it will.
I'm sure it will.
And yeah, that's an interestingpart of that book too, because
it's like you think, like whenhe talks about the things of
hurry that really starteddownspiring, you wouldn't have
thought it came from when theycreated electricity, where you
could turn on light, right.
Speaker 4 (22:53):
People stay up long.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
It's like whoa yeah, so that's very interesting.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
Go ahead One thing that you just reminded me of,
olivia, is that he did talkabout how important it is to
have a time of rest Like.
You know, different cultureslook at it differently, but
basically you know, like what wemight look at like a Sabbath,
you know, and he talked aboutthat how important it is to have
that time to rest Like and heeven said that like not even
(23:21):
just sleep, but just like a restfor your soul.
Yeah, so I'll let you know, ifthat comes up again too Awesome.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I was going to tell you, Mrs Killer B, the guy's
name is Dan Butner, I believe.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Oh yeah, okay, good job.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
Yeah, I mean I would love maybe.
I mean I'll reach out to him,Maybe he'll come in here
sometime.
You'll see if we can get him tocome in here and really talk
about it, because he's veryknowledgeable and done all this
research.
Maybe we can get him to comehere and talk more about it in
depth.
That would be awesome.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Yeah, definitely, please do.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
So, yeah, so we'll reach out to him and who knows,
who knows, maybe he'll come joinus in the metaverse.
Mrs Killer B, as we wrap up,what closing thought would you
share with everybody about whatwe've learned about the blue
zone so far?
Well, okay.
Speaker 2 (24:04):
So I would think because it's what I want to say
to you and what I want to say tomyself is that we can always
look at the things that we'redoing in our life and ask if is
this helping me become healthieror is this making me become
less healthy?
Is this hurting me?
Because there are a lot ofthings that we might do in our
(24:30):
lives to escape things that hurtus, or to escape boredom, or to
try to deal with feelings thatwe're not.
You know, mr Killer B and Iwere talking the other night and
we were saying like it seemslike a lot of the things in our
lives that we can do to accessand hurt ourselves are all
because it all happens becausewe're not dealing with our
(24:53):
emotional health.
And I know that's certainly thecase for myself, and you know
whether that's overeating, youknow indulging in too much TV.
That's what I want to do, andyou know all the things that you
can do that you can use in anunhealthy way.
It's for a reason.
(25:13):
You know you're doing that fora reason because life is hard
and sometimes we don't want todeal with the things that we're,
you know, trying not to dealwith.
So I would just say take a good, honest look at your life and
look at the things that you justneed to deal with, you know.
Figure out if you need to finda counselor and talk that
(25:34):
through.
You know, sometimes you have areally good friend who can be
honest with you and you can workthrough some of those things.
Whatever you got to do, justfigure out what it is that is
holding you back and causing youto hurt yourself and in the
long run that hurts everyonearound you and you know no one
wants to do that, but that's thetruth of it, and so that's what
(25:57):
I would like I said, want tosay to you and say to myself
like we can all make smallchoices every day.
It is really easy when you startlearning about health things to
become overwhelmed becausethere's a thousand things we
could do to become healthier.
But if you try to change allthousand things right away, it's
(26:17):
overwhelming.
You will give up.
It's expensive.
You know it's not a realisticway to to better your life.
But if you just pick a fewlittle tiny things that you can
work on and start to make thoseinto habits, then you can move
on something else.
It makes a bigger cumulativeeffect over your life.
Then if you just try, you knowI'm going to change these 10
(26:40):
things about my life.
Nah, forget it, I'm going to,you know.
Then you just go back to yourold ways and you never actually
change anything.
So yeah, start small.
Just be honest with yourselfabout what you can do.
That can make a big difference.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I think that's why the community part is so
important too, is you findpeople you can really trust.
That's through buildingcommunity and building
relationships.
Find those people.
Like you said, find a counselor.
If you need to talk to acounselor, if you guys are in
here, you guys need to look up amedical coach, because, I'm
telling you, a medical coach isa guy that an amazing guy.
If you're looking for acounselor, a connective medical
coach, his heart is amazing andhe is here to really help people
(27:17):
.
So reach out to him and justknow, like you're not alone.
Like you know, when, when I wasgoing through the health stuff,
I like to work out, like I usedto work out not like a lot of, I
used to like a lot of bodyweight training and I really got
into it a lot for a long timeand then I kind of backed off
but I was finally happy becauseI was able to start working out
again.
But then the health stuffhappened and literally it's been
(27:39):
, like you know, a total of likeover a year.
I haven't been able to do thethings I want to do and it was
really driving me insane andalso making me upset, because I
wanted to do that, but Icouldn't physically do it.
So I understand like there'sthings that some of us just
can't physically do.
That's okay.
That's okay.
You connective people, you know, leaning with, leaning with
(28:02):
other friends, and pray for eachother.
Be there for each other and Ilove the quote from Jason Gray
that's up there Be kind, becauseeveryone you meet is fighting
their own battle and needs toknow they matter.
I was in here today.
Everyone and a friend of minein here.
I had no idea we just came andwe were talking and and we were
just talking about praying foreach other and I'm actually like
(28:23):
I think I just, really justwant to say I just I just want
to give praise right now becauseI really feel like I'm I'm on
the up and it's been a long time.
So I just want to praise Godfor that.
And and this person shared that.
I asked him if there's anythingI could pray and they were
sharing that.
They went.
They're going throughdepression and I was kind of
like what I had no clue.
You never know.
(28:44):
Like, if you're going throughsomething like that, just know
like we've all been there andgone through stuff.
Just connect with somebody,connect with a medical coach
find someone that you can trustto talk to.
Don't do this life alone.
We wasn't created to do italone.
We were created to do ittogether.
That's why the community is soimportant.
