Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello everyone, and good morning and happy Sunday to you.
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful weekend. You know, the
weather's all over the place, but that's how the weather is.
And I always appreciate you tuning in. It means a
tremendous amount to me. And I have a wonderful guest today.
And you know what I want to tell you, My
guest is probably not my guest anymore because her and
(00:44):
I are pretty much, you know, partners in crime, partners
and doing things. So I think really it's more just
you know, you're a very good friend of mine, and
you're pretty much part of the show. Now, you're pretty
much part of it, Okay, thank you, absolutely so. And
today's conversation is going to be FOUNDATSTIC and I hope
you enjoy it. I hope you learn something from it.
So we're going to be talking about something that affects
(01:06):
all of us and presented preventive healthcare. We often make
time for work, family, social commitments, but many people put
off routine medical appointments. And of course joining me today,
I have the fantastic, amazing, the lovely steph Harshberger. Please
tell everybody what you do, who you are, and then
(01:28):
you know, kind of tell us a little bit about
you know, preventive well.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Hi everyone, thanks for having me again. I am Stephanie Herschberger.
I'm a nurse practitioner Your Best Life, MD. My background
is a family nurse practitioner, but for the past twenty
years I've been doing mainly esthetics and wellness, so wellness
within the past four years more with semi glue tides
(01:54):
and ivy therapy and hormonal therapy which we take care
of at the New York and Page does a lot
of that there. But this preventative medicine is such an
important topic because preventative care is one of the most
effective ways to stay healthy and catch potential problems early.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I find out to be extremely important and I know
that it is known. I don't know if it's true
anymore or not that men are horrible with it. They
just don't want to go to the doctor and they
feel like that to tough it out right. And we're
not saying to be a hyperconniac, but we're just saying
that it's really important to catch things before they really happen,
because there's a lot of things that you can catch
(02:37):
before it happens and gets out of control. So when
people here to term preventative healthcare staff, what exactly does
that mean?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So preventative healthcare includes your routine checkups, screenings, vaccinations, blood work,
wellness visits that are designed to identify risks or health
concerns before they become serious. The goal is to prevent
illness whenever possible, or detect conditions in the earliest and
most treatable stages.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I don't know if that resonates with people out there,
if there's certain things you don't want to do, Like
you look, I'm anti vaccine, which is fine, doesn't mean
you have to go get vaccinated. Don't get it, don't
do it. I mean, honestly, my entire life, I've never
had the flu shot. I never have, and I think
my entire life, I only got the flu one time,
and I was in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I remember it just like wow, yeah, and I only
have not had the flu vaccine one time, and I
got it horribly. And I was in Charleston at a
fashion show with my sister and our friend Mary Beth,
and it was so much fun in the beginning, and
then all of a sudden, I'm like, oh my gosh,
and Val and I are sleeping in the same bed.
(03:47):
You're sweating profusely dying over there. And we were supposed
to go to this amazing restaurant, and I'm like, can
you just go get me some chicken noodle soup from Panera?
I couldn't move, but believe it or not, let me
on the plane. And I was holding up the wall
at the airport and I looked like I was ready,
(04:07):
this is COVID right, this is before and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Closing an arm and still let you on the airplane.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh yeah, they would have put me in a contamination room.
And I remember just leaning up against the wall, thinking,
oh my gosh, I just got to get home. And
so I remember coming home. I was off work for
an entire week.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And went to doctor Prophet's office and I was literally
coughing up along. I had to get a nebulizer treatment
and he said I had both at the time, what
was it? I had both influenza A and influenza B.
And he said, oh, you're two steps away from the
hospital from pneumonia. So I'm like, wow, this is fabulous.
(04:50):
The one and only time I didn't get my flu shot.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There's it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
This is something I always noticed about you and I. Right,
we're so much alike and and otherwise we're so different
from each other. Right, it's it's actually it's a beautiful,
beautiful you know, friendship, relationship, everything you want to talk about,
working relationship. Like I honestly, I swear to you, I've
never had the flu shot, right, And I got sick
one time with the flu, and I still remember it, Like,
(05:16):
you know, I was in front of a fireplace, shivering,
and I'm like, who deals with crap like this?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Like who does this?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
When are you ever cold?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I know I was freezing, that was in front of
a fireplace, Like I basically almost like found myself into it.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
At that time, my boyfriend's like Uh, you might want
to not get so close anymore. Your hair is going
to carry my eyebrows and my hair.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
But it's very like we.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
We'd go to do things on a different aspect of
how we do things, but we always you and I
want the same end result is to really take care
of yourself right and preventive to me is extremely important,
and do the things that you believe in.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm just not a really vaccine person, to tell you
the truth. And it's just because honestly, I don't have
issues right if I sick a lot or you know,
whatever vaccines are out there for, and I know some
are necessary.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I know that I do have.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I have a post it note. I think we talked
about post it notes, shouted her million post it notes,
but I do have one. I have an upcoming procedure
that I'm doing. So I've been holding off on this vaccine,
but I really I'm really considering the shingle shing voccine.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know, Yeah, I think I need that. I got
that one. You know why I got it. I did,
And let me tell you why I got it. Last year,
so three people around me that I knew very very
well got it, and two of them looked horrible. It's painful, painful,
but they had it like half his face, his neck,
these chest like he had it for like the scars,
(06:43):
you know, you know what I mean, Like it lasted
three months and you know, as a female, having that
all over my face, and I'm like, I think, maybe
that's the one I'm going to do to prevent because
it was more about getting scarred, honestly than anything.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So I did get that one. I think a lady,
I know, she.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Developed shingles and it went into her eye and she
cannot see out of her eye. She has had so
many surgeries and has all these issues with this eye
because of that.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
No, the shingles is really really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, And I think you need the shingle shot if
you didn't get chicken pox or you did get chicken pox.
I can't remember which one it is. I think has
to do with the chicken pox. It does, yeah, But
I think if you didn't, you can ask your doctor
and then see if you really need it, And I
suggest that would be the one to do. But preventive
is really important. So why do so many people skip
(07:38):
these appointments?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Do you think? I think I mean, I have an idea.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Life gets busy and you just you feel fine, so
you assume that you don't need to see your primary
care doctor. And others are just nervous about what they
might learn, or they simply don't prioritize their own health. Unfortunately,
serious conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol,
(08:03):
and even certain cancers can develop without obvious symptoms.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And that's that's the problem. So the problem is we
really don't know what could be festering inside and in
constant high blood pressure. It doesn't have to be really high,
but constant high blood pressure is the number one reason
to kidney failure. I mean that is kidney failure. I
always thought it was like the way you ate fat,
you know what I mean. But you know, I had
someone that worked in the kidney dialysis and she told
(08:29):
me that number one nurse number one reason is your
blood pressure.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Contents high, uncontrollable.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, but just even a little bit high. We're not
talking like massively high. But let's say you're just dealing
with your high blood pressure. You're not taking anything and
not doing anything. It's not really high that it's detrimental,
but it's high enough that that's how it really affects
your kidney and you go into kidney failure down the road.
But there's cancers that you can prevent, like if you
get screening. Obviously, your blood pressure, your diabetes, your thyroid,
(08:57):
your thotroids really important, you know, number one reason. You
know for over seventeen years that I've owned trim Line,
and you know, you and I were definitely I'm getting
into more of my psychology of you know, doing therapy
for weight loss, weight management, but also for people in
general and not just men and women, both to be
able to you know, deal with their relationship with themselves
(09:18):
and with food, but also really how they handle stress.
So that's really what I'm getting into now. But the
biggest thing is people just really feel like they they
got there always would get their thyroid check right, because
they like, this is why I'm gaining weight.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You want it to be high that's whenever.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, And they're like, no, my dad woulds fine, darn
it right, And I tell people that is like the
worst thing to have is an uncontrol your thyroid being
all over the place. It really messes with your hormone.
But and I think you're right, people get busy. People
think that it's not going to happen to them. People
think that I don't there's nothing wrong with me, right,
But then then when they keel over, have a stroke
(09:56):
or anything like that, then they're like, oh, I really
should have gone to the doctor. And maybe some people
think that they can't afford it, right, I mean, but
you have your copey, but a yearly checkup is or
six months checkup is covered by insurance.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I mean that's one thing that's.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What once a year, yeah, once a physical Yeah, I
mean if you're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And that's a great place to start in annual physical
that is like.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The minimum you should be doing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
So so we are talking about prevented. We're going to
continue to talk about other things that you really should
be doing in your life. That's just minuscule amount of doing,
but it's going to give you the biggest results of
your outcome of your health and your wellness. And I'm
with Steph Harshburger, and you know, we are really looking
to help you and be like a one stop place
(10:45):
that you can add go to her for the aesthetics
and botox and the GLP one shots and for me
to really deal with the mental aspect of weight loss
and weight management, but also really more mental aspect of
how you deal with yourself, stress and everything around you.
So go to mytrim line dot com book a free chat.
That's all it is. We just to talk on the
phone and then we can go from there. We're going
(11:06):
to take a break and we'll be right.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Back now back to the my trim Line Radio Show
with Nadia here on US radio w HB five eighty
Hell then.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Welcome back, and thank you so much for listening. I
am here with a lovely and amazing and extremely talented
Steph Harshberger. Thank you for joining me today. You know,
you and I are just pretty much we're going to
rule how the world in a sense of helping people
but having fun at the same time and really getting
to know your body from outside and inside. And we
(11:39):
are talking about preventive medicine, which is really really important.
And we're talking about some vaccines that maybe you feel
comfortable doing, maybe you don't feel comfortable doing, which you take.
You say, you're all vaccine, You're into it. And the
only one that I've taken you have not taken.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yet, not all of them. I mean, what the vaccine
for sure, because of course I had the flu, and
isn't it funny how we caught the Flu's not flu,
it's the flu. And then I am considering the shingles vaccine,
which I'm definitely going to get that.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, and I think you on the break you were
saying that you were afraid that, and even Art said
that you guys heard horror stories of people's reaction to
the shingle.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So let me tell you it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Feel sick, yeah, but words for a couple of days,
for two things.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Number one, Number one, I felt nothing, Okay, my I
mean my arm was really really sore.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I wasn't sick.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I maybe I felt a little tired, which is odd
for me, but like whatever, but I still went and
lifted the next day.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And the second one.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I honestly, the second one was even better than the
first one, I think, So nothing happened. But this is
again what I'm going to say is if you get
the shingles, let's let's say you do feel sick for
two or three days from the shot, but when you
get the shingles, you're going to be sick for three weeks,
a month, two months, scarred, or you know, like you said,
your friend that can't see in one eye, now, you know,
(13:04):
and people like get massively scarred on their neck, on
their chest, on their face, and it gets on your face.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Mom had it on her back, but it was underneath
the skin so it had not come out yet and
she was having horrible pain. And that's what it was from.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Now they say the shingles pain.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
My brother in law is like he he's a manly man,
you know, like he works a lot of hours because
he's a you know, a chef, owner of a restaurant.
He lifts weights, he works out all his life. Right,
and he had he was forty nine, okay when he
got it, Oh my goodness, I have never seen such
her horrifying way that he had it on half his body.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was, yeah, it doesn't cross.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You got it happy like his forehead, his face, his neck.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It was horrible. Like when I saw that, I'm like,
like the very next day, I'm like, I'm going. I
went to CVS.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I'm getting it. I made an appointment. I'm like, I
cannot like there.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's true. So that's a place if people do not
have a primary care CBS, they do it. A lot
of these places.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
They do it, and they did it for free. I think.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I think they say, like, honestly, I didn't pay anything.
So and my insurance is horrible because I'm a self
employed you know, my own business, and my insurance is
very very bad, but it did cover it. So you know,
definitely check these out and there are places that you
can you can really save money on. But you know,
even if someone feels healthy right, routine appointments are still important,
(14:30):
don't you think.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, I mean there's certain things women should stay current
with their gynecological exams and mammograms, bone density screenings, and
especially at our age because I hate to say it,
we're not in our twenties or thirties anymore, so bone
density okay, or forties and now we're closer to sixties,
I know. But the bone density, I mean, that's very important.
(14:54):
And men, we're not going to forget about the men.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Oh my goodness, that's cost cancer.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They should definitely, and I obviously men don't want to
have that done, but they should because it's so common.
I mean in my family, I remember within a year
and a half, three of my uncles developed prostate cancer.
That's sorry, in a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I mean it it happens in the blink of
an eye. And preventative prosject cancer is bad, but it
is it's prevented. That's the crazy part that you can absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You can do it, go into free mission. I mean
you can be cured. So you know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The thing is is that when for men, you don't
have to push through things, right. I mean, even as
I pushed through certain things, but I kind of know,
like I'm talking about more like lifting or not staying
home when I don't feel great. I just hate being sick.
I'm hardly every sick. But you don't have to push
through like it's okay. You know, my class law is high, No, biggie,
(15:52):
you know that's not a big deal. And try to
be a mainly man. And part of being a man
really is understanding that you have to take care of yourself, right,
and if you don't want to do it for yourself,
if you have family, you have children, you have grandchildren,
you want to be around for people you love, don't
do it for them. You know you don't want to
do it for yourself, do it for them. Because if
(16:12):
you do preventive and you're around healthy and let's say
you need to be on blood pasture medication or custo medication,
even if you have no symptoms. You have to understand
preventive visits, give health care providers the opportunity to monitor trends,
review your family history, assess risk factors, and recommend lifestyle
changes that can improve your long term health outcomes. And always, always, always,
(16:35):
I'm going to say this until the day I die.
Your nutrition is number one. Oh, sleep is number one.
Then your nutrition is number two, very close to it.
Getting sun and exercise, you know, some sort of movement.
I'm not saying go to the gym or anything. Any walking.
Walking is like one of the greatest things in the world.
So we're talking tiny little things that you can change
(16:56):
that will absolutely change the outcome of what's going to
happen as a man, as a woman. Just if you're like, well,
I don't have time and I'm okay, and you know,
then you don't want it, you don't care enough or
don't have time enough to do it for yourself, do
it for the people around you, because God forbid. Once
you're a diabetic, you have a stroke, you have a
(17:16):
heart attack, and you don't have to be really overweight
to have those things.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Sometimes it's just in the jens. I remember years ago
working in the ear I had a gentleman who came
in and he was in the middle of a heart attack.
And this guy he was I think he was in
his seventies, but you would never know when to the y.
Every day he swam, he exercised, he ate healthy. His
(17:42):
wife I remember her saying, he eats so healthy. But
guess what, his dad died at the age of fifty
or sixty from a heart attack. So sometimes even though
you do everything exactly the way you're supposed to, if
it's in your jens, yeah, you know jeans.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And also blockage, Yeah, blockage and your arteries happens for
no good reason. I mean it does happen, you know,
to build up. Somebody could be really healthy and you
still have blockage happening. So, I mean, these are things
that can happen that you can with your checkups. You
can really prevent them from happening and getting worse. And
you have to think about this. Even I know people
(18:19):
that are thirty forty twenty year olds that are having
strokes and heart attacks and cardiac.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Arrest right, So there is something happening.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Whether people want to play you know, blame the COVID
shots or whatever. Whatever, the key is, just go go
get a check up, Go find out, Go get some
tests done.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Pressure checks, cholesterol, colon cancer screenings. Yeah, I know some
people don't like a colonoscopy. I love my colon. I
don't know why. Skin examinations. Yeahs it's eye exams. But
I mean we could talk about the skin exams too,
because we as we know, we love the sun. I
(18:59):
mean I love that, but Indy, but sunscreen is so
very important, you know very much.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And let me tell you that because Coach was on
last week and he's so he's a very holistic kind
of person and he's like a lot of sunscreens have
crap in him, which I do. You need to find
a right sunscreen that doesn't have a lot of those
chemicals in it that actually gives you cancer and it
gives you problems.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Go toward the mineral side, a.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Mineral sunscreen versus chemical.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And I always get it tinted because you know, my
coloring I would look like a ghost makeup.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You just put a little sunscreen on and evens everything out.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I look like like a total ghost. If I put
one of them without the tint, it looks horrible on me.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
You know my eyes are dark, well yeah, well my
eyes are dark.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I have bushy eyebrows and dark hair, and then there's
there's this white, ghosty face. It just does not and
you're trying to be at a pool, like, come on,
it just doesn't look good. But but I get the
mineral ones. But you know, the screenings are great. And
the other thing is if you're going back to the colonoscopy,
I don't even know why you love your kolonoscopy, honestly.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Because I feel lighter, You feel cleaned out, like all
those toxins. Everything it's out.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Can't I can't do that, or I can do that
without the colonoscopy.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You know that there is a liquid out there that
you can do every success, but it's kolonoscoy is necessary.
And people died a coll of guard, which, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
That is not good. No did I tell you about that?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Did I talk about that?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I say that I don't believe in it because it
comes a false negative and it's messy.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't know if anybody's done this. It's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
We could have my dad on and have him talk
about that. So my dad did the col of guard,
yeah and not steering away, not talking down about the
coal of guard or anything. But he didn't want to
have his colonoscopy, so he did the coal of guard.
Well it came back and there was something wrong with
this test, so he had to have a colonoscopy. Well,
thank goodness that he did. He's not going to like
(20:52):
me for saying this, but he had this big old
poll up down there, and I said, well, look he there,
if you would not have out a colonoscopy, that colon
guard would have never picked up your pop. So yeah,
I guess the col of guard is good, but you
need a colonoscopy for them to visualize the inside of.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Your What you see is different than giving a simple
of your poop is what you're doing. That's a whole
whole different thing. And that you know, mine came out
that it was fine. And then when I got my
col I had three polyps.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
So yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Really pollup could turn into cancer.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, that's just what people don't get. And then you
get what colon cancer. And let me tell you, colon
cancer is extremely, extremely painful. And very very I mean
it will change your entire life well and a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Of times you may be at stage three, year stage
four before they even find it because people don't go
to the doctor or have a colony.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
And imagine that's one thing you can really prevent. And
we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
If you're like, we're going to take a break, Okay,
but we really want you to be able to even
when you go to the doctor, some tests you should
ask for.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
There are things you need to ask your doctor to
do for you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So if you want more information anything with staff or myself,
go to my trimline dot com book of free Chat.
We're gonna take a break and we'll be right back.

that you want to deal with personally mentally. So that
is what I'm doing now, more of a one on
one therapy session, counseling session. You can go to my
trimline dot com and ask any questions and book of
free consult that we can talk. I have the wonderful
(23:03):
Steph Harshburger here. Steph does amazing job with a lot
of things. Steph, please tell them what you do.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hi. I do botox, fillers, lasers, IVS, GLP medications both
the semi glue tides or a zeppetide, and we do
the bioidentical hormones at our York office, well we do
them at the Campo office, but Page in the York office,
She's definitely taken this under her wing and she does
(23:33):
a lot of the bioidenticals. But we're also starting to
get into the peptides. So everybody is taking peptides and
I'm looking at this course. I so many people say
all these different peptides that you should be taking, but
I really want a true certification course to talk about
(23:55):
dosing and which peptides work with, what.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Because you don't have that. You don't want to give misinformation,
and that's how good you are.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Don't I don't know enough about them. I know I
know some, but I don't know enough to really have
accurate dosing. And I'm not going to go off what
the Internet says.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No, peptides are really huge, and that's really what we're
going to get into and a sense of what you're
going to be doing and you're going to learn. Obviously
you're going to go take the course, but it's something
that it's huge, and we really want to get ahead
of it and tell you about it and you can
utilize it.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The key is we're talking about preventive medicine and and
some of them we give some of the examples, but
I really want to give you more, Like what are
some examples of preventive appointments people should schedule stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
We did talk about some of them, Like we talked
about skin exams.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Definitely with the dermatologists. You need to see a dermatologist,
and you better booked them in a fable because it's
not how we are taking care of our body now,
our skin. It's what we did in the eighties. I
mean in the eighties. I bathed in baby oil, put
iodine in there, laid on an a luminum foil blanket.
(25:11):
I was on my neighbor Glennis and Glenda Nikovitch. I'll
never forget they had we could crawl up on the roof.
We still lay on the roof on our aluminum foil
blanket and baked to get.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Closer to the sun.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh my gosh, yeah, I'm closer. And tanning beds, Oh gosh,
and tanning beds. Now if I knew how much damage
they did back then. But you know, if you can't
lose the weight tannate, Yeah, you just I fat looks
better tan than it does. Wait, so I did so
many tanning beds, and I'm just waiting for my melanoma
or my skin cancer. I've already had one on my back.
(25:46):
It was severely atypical progressing to melanoma in sight too.
I mean, it's scared the Bejesus out of me. So
I make sure, I mean, I do my yearly skin screenings.
It's so important, it's.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
You know, and yet they is you better book it
now because anytime I want to book my like let's
say if because you know, selim always misappointment. So when
he has like a million moles so and you need
to check them, they're at least three months out, if
not four months.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I don't know what's going on with a dermatologist. See
if you can get in in SI now.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, they're crazy far out and like do we not
have enough dermatologists out there?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Like what in the world is going on? So that's
a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
We talked about obviously your obgyn for women, We talked
about prostate for men, your mammograms, your bone density.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You talked aboutlonoscopy that you love. And I'm not very
fond of dental visits. Oh, Dannel, that's huge. I mean
bacteria sister talk time. Yes, last week or two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Dental visits are extremely important, not just because you want
to your teeth look good or you're not going to cavities,
but honestly, your your dental your mouth.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Haalth cancer absolutely cancer.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And it's related to your stomach. Do you know that
you can get a lot of bacteria, a lot of
stomach issues. Your gut flora can be damaged by your mouth, Okay,
which is huge.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It's kind of it's gross, you know, if you think
about it, it is, but you have to.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Take care of it then, and I know it's you know,
I know these things cost money, Okay, get it, but
if you prevent them, they're going to save you a
lot of money.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Like a lot of money. They're going to save you
a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Right, early detection, Oh, that's it.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And eye exams.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Honestly, you know, you have cataracts, you have liness that
could be happening, you can have blockage in your retina.
I mean, there's a lot of things that could be exactly,
there's a lot of things that could be happening that
if you do, you're going to be able to really
prevent them. And what impacts can preventive care have on
over health overall health care.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Well, it's life changing because early detection means simpler treatments,
it's better outcomes, lower health care costs, and an improved
quality of life. So if you have something wrong with
you when you go and it's in the small stage
of it, it's much much easier to take care of that.
Just like with breast cancer. Just say you find a
(28:04):
lump and you have a lump ectomy, or you know,
you never go and then all of a sudden, this
lump that you have. You now have DCIS or you
have you know, breast cancer that is out of control,
and you have a masectomy.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Correct, so it can go further. It's even further.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Bread and then you have metastasis, and now the breast
cancer is now in your liver, you're lung, and then
once it gets to your spine or your brain, you're
you're in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Then. Now, I think what people don't realize is how
much power you have. You you, the individual you that
is listening, how much power you have to control your health.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
You have to be your own advocate. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I cannot say this enough, and it really makes me
angry that people don't think they have that you have
so much power over your health. You absolutely do, and
especially with the health system here, that is just so horrible.
It's just so so horrible. So it's extremely important for
you to take it into your own hand and prevent
(29:10):
things you absolutely can. And just because your parents had
them and it runs in it doesn't mean you have to.
You might be a little bit more disposition disposed to it,
meaning you have, but it doesn't mean that's really what
you're going to have to live with. Also, it is
in your power to take control. And when you go
to a doctor appointment. I have a lot of clients
and patients that I asked him, I say, what's this
(29:31):
medication for? It?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The doctor put me on it, right, And I'm like, okay,
you're taking this many medications and you don't know half
of them what they're for, which that's not good. And
then also when you get a blood work done, they're
going to do the basics of blood work right. Educate
yourself to get everything done, meaning you can literally check
(29:53):
your you know, your blood cells. Obviously you A and
see all of that you're a thyroid, but you can
even go deeper. You can check your testosterome, your hormones,
your estrogen, I mean, ask research. And when you go
to your doctor and you're like, well, I'm gonna get
some blood work done for you, you know, because they
do they do routine blood work. Your routine blood work
needs to not be routine when you're forty and older, okay, correct,
(30:17):
and fifty and older and sixty and older, it just
gets worse and worse. It should not be a routine
blood work. You should check your kidney, you should check
your liver. I mean, these are things that your blood
work needs to be done.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Do you agree with that.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Or do you think absolutely no, I absolutely agree. I know,
especially with the gynecologist, that's where I would have them
do my hormones and stuff because then I think they
deal with it every day, so they're better equipped to
know what medications are best treated for your levels.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The I'm at it in your family fasition.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Correct, And I mean they also know that you're not
only treating your levels, you're treating symptoms.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, they're more they're definitely more educated to that, right, okay,
and they can put you on the right path of
feeling better. Honestly, your your hormones being all over the
place and not in the right you know, ratios that
what they're supposed to be. That that's a game changer
for a woman. And obviously we already talked about the
testos from from men. That's a game changer for men.
(31:21):
That's a huge difference. And you know, we often talk
about all these physical health, right, but I am huge
about what it does to mental health. I am, like
I am, and I don't know. I mean, obviously you
know me for a very long time. I'm a positive person.
I'm pretty much a happy, go lucky person. You know,
I get up out of bed full of energy and
(31:41):
happy and annoying, I'm sure to people around me. And
then you know, I'd continue to be like that all
day long because I just that's just who I want
to live my life that way.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
So, mental health, I think is extremely important. I don't
know what.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I don't know what what is more important to the other,
Like if you're mentally not in the right place, how
can you pasically take care of yourself?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Like to me, mental health is just everything.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It is.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's the critical part of preventative care routine visits. They
provide opportunities to discuss stress, anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and
overall emotional well being. So addressing these issues early can
have a tremendous impact on your overall health and happiness.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I mean there's stress.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Everybody has stress, you know, I think I got People
have anxiety, people have depression. People you go through and again,
depression is different levels. Your sleep concerns. Sleep is some
one of the most important things you have to have
to fix that, right, So your mental health is extremely
important and That's why I have become Yeah, I do
weight loss, I've done it for over seventeen years, but
I'm becoming more towards my degree of the mental health
(32:49):
of things.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And I really feel that that is the core.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Of the problem that we end up gaining weight or
not exercising, or not taking care of ourselves, or not
being happy with our body and who we are in
our relationship. I mean, I think your mental health really
affects your confidence, your sexuality, your appearance.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I mean that to me.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
If you fix that and we really work on that
is really going to hone in on all the other
problems that you can obviously dent tackle one by one.
And it's always easier to do it when you get
help doing it. That's the key. So go to my
Trium dot com book of free Chat. It's just a conversation,
that's all it is. We're going to take a break
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Let's get back to the my trim Line Radio show
with Nadia on use Radio w HP five eighty.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Hello and welcome back, and thank you so much for listening.
And I hope you're always feeling motivated to change a
tiny thing for yourself. To make life better. Wellness, wellness, wellness.
I can't say that enough. And before the break, we
were talking about mental health. Okay, and I have the
wonderful Steph Harshburger here. She's a magnificent nurse practitioner. Hi everyone, Yeah,
(34:00):
she's and she has a great voice for for radio,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I don't know about that. Maybe the word I'm getting better,
it's still there.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
But you're doing fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Nobody's going to get drunk, you know, drinking whenever I
say the word today, maybe.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
By taking by taking a shot, you're saying, I don't
think I've even heard it. Honestly, I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I don't hear it. I didn't. But you know, mental
health is important.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And you know, you and I were we got together
a couple of days ago, and we were talking about food, right,
and and you know, because people in general struggle with
it and emotional eating obviously, emotional eating, stress eating.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
A relationship with food is just, you know, terrible. We
grow up with it. That's pretty terrible, right.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And when you go through certain stages in your life,
and if you're depressed, I mean back years ago, I mean,
if I was unhappy, I would eat. I found comfort
in food or shopping. But food just was that soon
thing feeling for me that helped with Then I wasn't
(35:05):
feeling sad because I was happy because I was eating
something good.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, it's something you control, That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Food is like I can control this, I'm gonna feed
myself this and then but then becomes out of control. Right,
So comfort eating, emotional eating, stress eating eating because you're
around people, social events, you're out to a restaurant, so
food is everywhere. And but you know, you said to me,
which because we know each other for a long time,
but you don't know me from you know, like long
(35:32):
long time ago in my teens or you know, when
I was beginning in college.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
You're like, Nadia, what do you say to me? You're like, Nadia,
your mind does not your.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Mind doesn't think like ours. Yeah, you're like I said,
we we would think about food. You eat to live,
We would live to eat. I mean, the food noise
and everything was so different for me. Whereas you're like,
I love food, whereas I'm like, why love food too?
(36:00):
But I would love food even when I wasn't hungry.
I would just eat it because it looked good. Oh
that brownie. Let me eat that brownie. Oh that cupcake, yeah,
let me eat the cupcake. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And I said to you on break, is that that
is a learned behavior over years for me, right, because
that I was not that I was overweight. I mean,
I've lost fifty seven pounds, but I was overweight in
high school. I was overweight my first two semester, first
semester in college, I started losing weight, but I was
still overweight because I had a lot of weight to me.
But I was literally because you know, we came to
(36:31):
this country. Everybody knows from it, you know, from Iran,
and I did not look good. Okay, First of all,
I was overweight. And I grew up in State College
by the way, good lord, So not only when I
went to high school there, I eventually because I had
to run away after high school.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
That place was choking me to death.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
But I went somewhere else, got my you know, my
first two years, and I went back and I got
my degree from Penn State. But you know, in high
school when I was there a lot of rich people
that go to State College area high school, and you know,
it was the eighties, so there was a lot of
heathers there as we all know, with the blonde hair
and you know whatever. And then then there was me,
(37:11):
dirt poor, you know, and barely you know at my education.
I had to make put me through anything, and it
was brutal.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
I was very depressed. I was overweight.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I had just left my country and was in Germany
for a while before we could come to Iran. That
was come to America, i should say. And I was
in the war for two years where there treated women horribly.
When I was you know, we found finally fled. So
when I came to America, I was really not happy.
And we were dirt poor. A bunch of us were
(37:40):
in just one one tiny little house, and me and
my sisters and brothers were always get into fights, and
it was just really really bad. But and I looked horrible,
you know, I had a helmet head for a hair
I did. It was horrible because you know where I
went to get my hair cut whatever that five dollars.
Then it was two dollars to cut your hair. What
is it called empire? Empire is something where.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
People would learn on school, the school, but.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
They would they would do it on live. I was
a guinea pig, okay. You Basically they would do it
on live hair meaning mine, okay and my poor sisters,
and they would like color your hair or cut your hair,
so they just would botch my hair up.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Looked like a helmet head.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
And I had a un of brow which was really bad,
really puffy cattle pillar uni brow okay, and overweight. I mean,
it was just fantastic. I had the trifecta, the hair,
the una brow, and the way. Okay, the wrong trifecta.
But you know, so I was very depressed.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I really looked in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I didn't even like myself. I didn't I hated what
I was wearing. I didn't like going to school. It
wasn't four two three girlfriends of mine, I think I
would have really not survived. But it's a learned behavior.
My point is you can overcome it. Your brain, your
mental state. You have so much power to change things.
(39:01):
We just need to apply it and learn to change
a behavior in a thought process. Now does a shot
or a pill make it easier?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Oh my gosh, yeah, it totally makes it easier. And
I think the shot for me has really opened my
eyes to that fact that I can change, but having
the shot there, even at this microdose level, it is
so incredibly helpful to me that I know you don't
(39:32):
want to hear this, but I will probably stay on
this shot micro dosing forever. But not just because of that,
because of all the benefits that are associated with it
that they're finding. New researchers coming out all the time.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
But they're good and bad to it, Okay, because I've
done a lot of research. There's good, there's good and
bad to it. Like everything in the world. There's good
bad to everything in the world, right, and that's just
really what the world is about. You know, you can
go to California, the weather gorgeous, but you don't get
your winter spring and whatever. I mean there is there
is good and bad about everything.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Positives always always not good.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Is they're really You're right there, It's absolutely there.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I think what really kind of worries me is how
somebody I know personally myself, that they feel like they
have to do it or else they're going to gain
like the they have to be on it because the
fear of even gaining say four pounds, right or gaining
some of it, Like you're you're so addicted to the
(40:32):
fact of I have to be on this because not
not because I want to eat healthy like that.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You know, you're just afraid. I think the whole thing
is you're afraid to go back to that mental state.
You're afraid to gain that weight back because you don't
want those feelings that were associated with over weight. And
I made I get that.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I get fear of gaining the weight back. I get
fear of all of that. But but then you don't
take you don't take one tiny to step to fix
your nutrition, to learn to nourish your body to I mean,
I mean, this person I know doesn't eat right, barely
eats overeats sometimes. I mean, just like to me, it
drives me crazy that I get the feed.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
It's frustrating to you because you do eat healthy and
you do those things.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
But I mean, and I still eat drink alcohol, you
know that. And I still love the fries and I
do the cake. But I'm not saying anybody needs to
be me. I'm saying, while you're microdosing and doing all
of that, get your nutrition under control, nourish your body,
feed it correctly, because not only it's for your body
to nourish it it's also for your mind, for your
neurons in your brain.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
So how are you going to not get dementia? I
mean that that's the.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Body needs that.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
I don't care if you're going to microdose for the
rest of your life, you know. I think that with
your nutrition and you're going for a walk, that should
still be part of what you're trying to do and
live on a daily basis, because that's going to enhance
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
You know, I eat healthier than I have ever eaten
in my life.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Yeah, because it's coming down. You always say you wish together. Yeah,
you wish you would have done at the beginning when
you first started.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
When I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
But that's what I'm saying everybody that's doing it. At
the beginning, it's been on it.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
You're just happy because you're losing weight. But now once
you've been on it, now you realize that you have
to incorporate nutrition with.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
It, which is which is the key.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
I mean that what you're putting into your body is
the key, and what you're not putting into your body,
meaning you're not eating enough, not nutrition, you know, having
enough nutrients, that's a key. Also, that's horrible you're really
damaging your body. And I'm gonna you know, the quick
story is, because we're almost done here, I'll tost it
that next time. But what I really want to do
if the listeners take away one message from Twoday's conversation,
(42:48):
what would it.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Be, Premative health mean, take it, be your own advocate.
Look out for yourself, because I feel like women are
a little more in tune with their bodies than And
if your wife, or your girlfriend or or somebody is
saying you need to go to the doctor, go to
the doctor.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Absolutely, And you know, we'll maybe we're a little too
in tune with our body because we picked that thing exactly.
You know. But your health is one of your greatest assets.
Investing in a little time and preventive care today can
help you avoid significant health challenges tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Don't wait until something feels wrong.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Make your health a priority, and schedule those routine appointments.
That is the most important thing. And thank you so much.
I want to thank you so much for coming on board, Steph,
and I hope you have it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
Until next time, Let's.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Go to the pool, Let's go to the full.
Speaker 4 (43:40):

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Hello everyone, and good morning and happy Sunday to you.
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful weekend. You know, the
weather's all over the place, but that's how the weather is.
And I always appreciate you tuning in. It means a
tremendous amount to me. And I have a wonderful guest today.
And you know what I want to tell you, My
guest is probably not my guest anymore because her and
(00:44):
I are pretty much, you know, partners in crime, partners
and doing things. So I think really it's more just
you know, you're a very good friend of mine, and
you're pretty much part of the show. Now, you're pretty
much part of it, Okay, thank you, absolutely so. And
today's conversation is going to be FOUNDATSTIC and I hope
you enjoy it. I hope you learn something from it.
So we're going to be talking about something that affects
(01:06):
all of us and presented preventive healthcare. We often make
time for work, family, social commitments, but many people put
off routine medical appointments. And of course joining me today,
I have the fantastic, amazing, the lovely steph Harshberger. Please
tell everybody what you do, who you are, and then
(01:28):
you know, kind of tell us a little bit about
you know, preventive well.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Hi everyone, thanks for having me again. I am Stephanie Herschberger.
I'm a nurse practitioner Your Best Life, MD. My background
is a family nurse practitioner, but for the past twenty
years I've been doing mainly esthetics and wellness, so wellness
within the past four years more with semi glue tides
(01:54):
and ivy therapy and hormonal therapy which we take care
of at the New York and Page does a lot
of that there. But this preventative medicine is such an
important topic because preventative care is one of the most
effective ways to stay healthy and catch potential problems early.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
I find out to be extremely important and I know
that it is known. I don't know if it's true
anymore or not that men are horrible with it. They
just don't want to go to the doctor and they
feel like that to tough it out right. And we're
not saying to be a hyperconniac, but we're just saying
that it's really important to catch things before they really happen,
because there's a lot of things that you can catch
(02:37):
before it happens and gets out of control. So when
people here to term preventative healthcare staff, what exactly does
that mean?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
So preventative healthcare includes your routine checkups, screenings, vaccinations, blood work,
wellness visits that are designed to identify risks or health
concerns before they become serious. The goal is to prevent
illness whenever possible, or detect conditions in the earliest and
most treatable stages.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
And I don't know if that resonates with people out there,
if there's certain things you don't want to do, Like
you look, I'm anti vaccine, which is fine, doesn't mean
you have to go get vaccinated. Don't get it, don't
do it. I mean, honestly, my entire life, I've never
had the flu shot. I never have, and I think
my entire life, I only got the flu one time,
and I was in two thousand and two.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
I remember it just like wow, yeah, and I only
have not had the flu vaccine one time, and I
got it horribly. And I was in Charleston at a
fashion show with my sister and our friend Mary Beth,
and it was so much fun in the beginning, and
then all of a sudden, I'm like, oh my gosh,
and Val and I are sleeping in the same bed.
(03:47):
You're sweating profusely dying over there. And we were supposed
to go to this amazing restaurant, and I'm like, can
you just go get me some chicken noodle soup from Panera?
I couldn't move, but believe it or not, let me
on the plane. And I was holding up the wall
at the airport and I looked like I was ready,
(04:07):
this is COVID right, this is before and I'm.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Closing an arm and still let you on the airplane.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
Oh yeah, they would have put me in a contamination room.
And I remember just leaning up against the wall, thinking,
oh my gosh, I just got to get home. And
so I remember coming home. I was off work for
an entire week.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
And went to doctor Prophet's office and I was literally
coughing up along. I had to get a nebulizer treatment
and he said I had both at the time, what
was it? I had both influenza A and influenza B.
And he said, oh, you're two steps away from the
hospital from pneumonia. So I'm like, wow, this is fabulous.
(04:50):
The one and only time I didn't get my flu shot.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
There's it.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
This is something I always noticed about you and I. Right,
we're so much alike and and otherwise we're so different
from each other. Right, it's it's actually it's a beautiful,
beautiful you know, friendship, relationship, everything you want to talk about,
working relationship. Like I honestly, I swear to you, I've
never had the flu shot, right, And I got sick
one time with the flu, and I still remember it, Like,
(05:16):
you know, I was in front of a fireplace, shivering,
and I'm like, who deals with crap like this?
Speaker 4 (05:21):
Like who does this?
Speaker 3 (05:22):
When are you ever cold?
Speaker 2 (05:23):
I know I was freezing, that was in front of
a fireplace, Like I basically almost like found myself into it.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
You know.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
At that time, my boyfriend's like Uh, you might want
to not get so close anymore. Your hair is going
to carry my eyebrows and my hair.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
But it's very like we.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
We'd go to do things on a different aspect of
how we do things, but we always you and I
want the same end result is to really take care
of yourself right and preventive to me is extremely important,
and do the things that you believe in.
Speaker 4 (05:52):
Like I don't.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I'm just not a really vaccine person, to tell you
the truth. And it's just because honestly, I don't have
issues right if I sick a lot or you know,
whatever vaccines are out there for, and I know some
are necessary.
Speaker 4 (06:04):
I know that I do have.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
I have a post it note. I think we talked
about post it notes, shouted her million post it notes,
but I do have one. I have an upcoming procedure
that I'm doing. So I've been holding off on this vaccine,
but I really I'm really considering the shingle shing voccine.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
You know, Yeah, I think I need that. I got
that one. You know why I got it. I did,
And let me tell you why I got it. Last year,
so three people around me that I knew very very
well got it, and two of them looked horrible. It's painful, painful,
but they had it like half his face, his neck,
these chest like he had it for like the scars,
(06:43):
you know, you know what I mean, Like it lasted
three months and you know, as a female, having that
all over my face, and I'm like, I think, maybe
that's the one I'm going to do to prevent because
it was more about getting scarred, honestly than anything.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So I did get that one. I think a lady,
I know, she.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Developed shingles and it went into her eye and she
cannot see out of her eye. She has had so
many surgeries and has all these issues with this eye
because of that.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
No, the shingles is really really bad.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
Yeah, And I think you need the shingle shot if
you didn't get chicken pox or you did get chicken pox.
I can't remember which one it is. I think has
to do with the chicken pox. It does, yeah, But
I think if you didn't, you can ask your doctor
and then see if you really need it, And I
suggest that would be the one to do. But preventive
is really important. So why do so many people skip
(07:38):
these appointments?
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Do you think? I think I mean, I have an idea.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Life gets busy and you just you feel fine, so
you assume that you don't need to see your primary
care doctor. And others are just nervous about what they
might learn, or they simply don't prioritize their own health. Unfortunately,
serious conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol,
(08:03):
and even certain cancers can develop without obvious symptoms.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
And that's that's the problem. So the problem is we
really don't know what could be festering inside and in
constant high blood pressure. It doesn't have to be really high,
but constant high blood pressure is the number one reason
to kidney failure. I mean that is kidney failure. I
always thought it was like the way you ate fat,
you know what I mean. But you know, I had
someone that worked in the kidney dialysis and she told
(08:29):
me that number one nurse number one reason is your
blood pressure.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Contents high, uncontrollable.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Yeah, but just even a little bit high. We're not
talking like massively high. But let's say you're just dealing
with your high blood pressure. You're not taking anything and
not doing anything. It's not really high that it's detrimental,
but it's high enough that that's how it really affects
your kidney and you go into kidney failure down the road.
But there's cancers that you can prevent, like if you
get screening. Obviously, your blood pressure, your diabetes, your thyroid,
(08:57):
your thotroids really important, you know, number one reason. You
know for over seventeen years that I've owned trim Line,
and you know, you and I were definitely I'm getting
into more of my psychology of you know, doing therapy
for weight loss, weight management, but also for people in
general and not just men and women, both to be
able to you know, deal with their relationship with themselves
(09:18):
and with food, but also really how they handle stress.
So that's really what I'm getting into now. But the
biggest thing is people just really feel like they they
got there always would get their thyroid check right, because
they like, this is why I'm gaining weight.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
You want it to be high that's whenever.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah, And they're like, no, my dad woulds fine, darn
it right, And I tell people that is like the
worst thing to have is an uncontrol your thyroid being
all over the place. It really messes with your hormone.
But and I think you're right, people get busy. People
think that it's not going to happen to them. People
think that I don't there's nothing wrong with me, right,
But then then when they keel over, have a stroke
(09:56):
or anything like that, then they're like, oh, I really
should have gone to the doctor. And maybe some people
think that they can't afford it, right, I mean, but
you have your copey, but a yearly checkup is or
six months checkup is covered by insurance.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
I mean that's one thing that's.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
What once a year, yeah, once a physical Yeah, I
mean if you're not doing that.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
And that's a great place to start in annual physical
that is like.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
The minimum you should be doing.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Right.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
So so we are talking about prevented. We're going to
continue to talk about other things that you really should
be doing in your life. That's just minuscule amount of doing,
but it's going to give you the biggest results of
your outcome of your health and your wellness. And I'm
with Steph Harshburger, and you know, we are really looking
to help you and be like a one stop place
(10:45):
that you can add go to her for the aesthetics
and botox and the GLP one shots and for me
to really deal with the mental aspect of weight loss
and weight management, but also really more mental aspect of
how you deal with yourself, stress and everything around you.
So go to mytrim line dot com book a free chat.
That's all it is. We just to talk on the
phone and then we can go from there. We're going
(11:06):
to take a break and we'll be right.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
Back now back to the my trim Line Radio Show
with Nadia here on US radio w HB five eighty
Hell then.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
Welcome back, and thank you so much for listening. I
am here with a lovely and amazing and extremely talented
Steph Harshberger. Thank you for joining me today. You know,
you and I are just pretty much we're going to
rule how the world in a sense of helping people
but having fun at the same time and really getting
to know your body from outside and inside. And we
(11:39):
are talking about preventive medicine, which is really really important.
And we're talking about some vaccines that maybe you feel
comfortable doing, maybe you don't feel comfortable doing, which you take.
You say, you're all vaccine, You're into it. And the
only one that I've taken you have not taken.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
Yet, not all of them. I mean, what the vaccine
for sure, because of course I had the flu, and
isn't it funny how we caught the Flu's not flu,
it's the flu. And then I am considering the shingles vaccine,
which I'm definitely going to get that.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Yeah, and I think you on the break you were
saying that you were afraid that, and even Art said
that you guys heard horror stories of people's reaction to
the shingle.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
So let me tell you it.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Feel sick, yeah, but words for a couple of days,
for two things.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Number one, Number one, I felt nothing, Okay, my I
mean my arm was really really sore.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
I wasn't sick.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
I maybe I felt a little tired, which is odd
for me, but like whatever, but I still went and
lifted the next day.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
And the second one.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
I honestly, the second one was even better than the
first one, I think, So nothing happened. But this is
again what I'm going to say is if you get
the shingles, let's let's say you do feel sick for
two or three days from the shot, but when you
get the shingles, you're going to be sick for three weeks,
a month, two months, scarred, or you know, like you said,
your friend that can't see in one eye, now, you know,
(13:04):
and people like get massively scarred on their neck, on
their chest, on their face, and it gets on your face.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Mom had it on her back, but it was underneath
the skin so it had not come out yet and
she was having horrible pain. And that's what it was from.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Now they say the shingles pain.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
My brother in law is like he he's a manly man,
you know, like he works a lot of hours because
he's a you know, a chef, owner of a restaurant.
He lifts weights, he works out all his life. Right,
and he had he was forty nine, okay when he
got it, Oh my goodness, I have never seen such
her horrifying way that he had it on half his body.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
It was, yeah, it doesn't cross.
Speaker 4 (13:45):
You got it happy like his forehead, his face, his neck.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
It was horrible. Like when I saw that, I'm like,
like the very next day, I'm like, I'm going. I
went to CVS.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
I'm getting it. I made an appointment. I'm like, I
cannot like there.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
That's true. So that's a place if people do not
have a primary care CBS, they do it. A lot
of these places.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
They do it, and they did it for free. I think.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
I think they say, like, honestly, I didn't pay anything.
So and my insurance is horrible because I'm a self
employed you know, my own business, and my insurance is
very very bad, but it did cover it. So you know,
definitely check these out and there are places that you
can you can really save money on. But you know,
even if someone feels healthy right, routine appointments are still important,
(14:30):
don't you think.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Yeah, I mean there's certain things women should stay current
with their gynecological exams and mammograms, bone density screenings, and
especially at our age because I hate to say it,
we're not in our twenties or thirties anymore, so bone
density okay, or forties and now we're closer to sixties,
I know. But the bone density, I mean, that's very important.
(14:54):
And men, we're not going to forget about the men.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Oh my goodness, that's cost cancer.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
They should definitely, and I obviously men don't want to
have that done, but they should because it's so common.
I mean in my family, I remember within a year
and a half, three of my uncles developed prostate cancer.
That's sorry, in a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Yeah, I mean it it happens in the blink of
an eye. And preventative prosject cancer is bad, but it
is it's prevented. That's the crazy part that you can absolutely.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
You can do it, go into free mission. I mean
you can be cured. So you know.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The thing is is that when for men, you don't
have to push through things, right. I mean, even as
I pushed through certain things, but I kind of know,
like I'm talking about more like lifting or not staying
home when I don't feel great. I just hate being sick.
I'm hardly every sick. But you don't have to push
through like it's okay. You know, my class law is high, No, biggie,
(15:52):
you know that's not a big deal. And try to
be a mainly man. And part of being a man
really is understanding that you have to take care of yourself, right,
and if you don't want to do it for yourself,
if you have family, you have children, you have grandchildren,
you want to be around for people you love, don't
do it for them. You know you don't want to
do it for yourself, do it for them. Because if
(16:12):
you do preventive and you're around healthy and let's say
you need to be on blood pasture medication or custo medication,
even if you have no symptoms. You have to understand
preventive visits, give health care providers the opportunity to monitor trends,
review your family history, assess risk factors, and recommend lifestyle
changes that can improve your long term health outcomes. And always, always, always,
(16:35):
I'm going to say this until the day I die.
Your nutrition is number one. Oh, sleep is number one.
Then your nutrition is number two, very close to it.
Getting sun and exercise, you know, some sort of movement.
I'm not saying go to the gym or anything. Any walking.
Walking is like one of the greatest things in the world.
So we're talking tiny little things that you can change
(16:56):
that will absolutely change the outcome of what's going to
happen as a man, as a woman. Just if you're like, well,
I don't have time and I'm okay, and you know,
then you don't want it, you don't care enough or
don't have time enough to do it for yourself, do
it for the people around you, because God forbid. Once
you're a diabetic, you have a stroke, you have a
(17:16):
heart attack, and you don't have to be really overweight
to have those things.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
No, let me tell you.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Sometimes it's just in the jens. I remember years ago
working in the ear I had a gentleman who came
in and he was in the middle of a heart attack.
And this guy he was I think he was in
his seventies, but you would never know when to the y.
Every day he swam, he exercised, he ate healthy. His
(17:42):
wife I remember her saying, he eats so healthy. But
guess what, his dad died at the age of fifty
or sixty from a heart attack. So sometimes even though
you do everything exactly the way you're supposed to, if
it's in your jens, yeah, you know jeans.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
And also blockage, Yeah, blockage and your arteries happens for
no good reason. I mean it does happen, you know,
to build up. Somebody could be really healthy and you
still have blockage happening. So, I mean, these are things
that can happen that you can with your checkups. You
can really prevent them from happening and getting worse. And
you have to think about this. Even I know people
(18:19):
that are thirty forty twenty year olds that are having
strokes and heart attacks and cardiac.
Speaker 4 (18:24):
Arrest right, So there is something happening.
Speaker 2 (18:27):
Whether people want to play you know, blame the COVID
shots or whatever. Whatever, the key is, just go go
get a check up, Go find out, Go get some
tests done.
Speaker 3 (18:38):
Pressure checks, cholesterol, colon cancer screenings. Yeah, I know some
people don't like a colonoscopy. I love my colon. I
don't know why. Skin examinations. Yeahs it's eye exams. But
I mean we could talk about the skin exams too,
because we as we know, we love the sun. I
(18:59):
mean I love that, but Indy, but sunscreen is so
very important, you know very much.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
And let me tell you that because Coach was on
last week and he's so he's a very holistic kind
of person and he's like a lot of sunscreens have
crap in him, which I do. You need to find
a right sunscreen that doesn't have a lot of those
chemicals in it that actually gives you cancer and it
gives you problems.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Go toward the mineral side, a.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
Mineral sunscreen versus chemical.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:26):
And I always get it tinted because you know, my
coloring I would look like a ghost makeup.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
You just put a little sunscreen on and evens everything out.
Speaker 2 (19:34):
I look like like a total ghost. If I put
one of them without the tint, it looks horrible on me.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
You know my eyes are dark, well yeah, well my
eyes are dark.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I have bushy eyebrows and dark hair, and then there's
there's this white, ghosty face. It just does not and
you're trying to be at a pool, like, come on,
it just doesn't look good. But but I get the
mineral ones. But you know, the screenings are great. And
the other thing is if you're going back to the colonoscopy,
I don't even know why you love your kolonoscopy, honestly.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Because I feel lighter, You feel cleaned out, like all
those toxins. Everything it's out.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
Can't I can't do that, or I can do that
without the colonoscopy.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
You know that there is a liquid out there that
you can do every success, but it's kolonoscoy is necessary.
And people died a coll of guard, which, oh my goodness.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
That is not good. No did I tell you about that?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
No?
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Did I talk about that?
Speaker 2 (20:24):
I say that I don't believe in it because it
comes a false negative and it's messy.
Speaker 4 (20:28):
I don't know if anybody's done this. It's disgusting.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
We could have my dad on and have him talk
about that. So my dad did the col of guard,
yeah and not steering away, not talking down about the
coal of guard or anything. But he didn't want to
have his colonoscopy, so he did the coal of guard.
Well it came back and there was something wrong with
this test, so he had to have a colonoscopy. Well,
thank goodness that he did. He's not going to like
(20:52):
me for saying this, but he had this big old
poll up down there, and I said, well, look he there,
if you would not have out a colonoscopy, that colon
guard would have never picked up your pop. So yeah,
I guess the col of guard is good, but you
need a colonoscopy for them to visualize the inside of.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Your What you see is different than giving a simple
of your poop is what you're doing. That's a whole
whole different thing. And that you know, mine came out
that it was fine. And then when I got my
col I had three polyps.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
So yeah, so.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Really pollup could turn into cancer.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Yeah, that's just what people don't get. And then you
get what colon cancer. And let me tell you, colon
cancer is extremely, extremely painful. And very very I mean
it will change your entire life well and a lot.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
Of times you may be at stage three, year stage
four before they even find it because people don't go
to the doctor or have a colony.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
And imagine that's one thing you can really prevent. And
we're going to talk about that.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
If you're like, we're going to take a break, Okay,
but we really want you to be able to even
when you go to the doctor, some tests you should
ask for.
Speaker 4 (22:01):
There are things you need to ask your doctor to
do for you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
So if you want more information anything with staff or myself,
go to my trimline dot com book of free Chat.
We're gonna take a break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (22:13):
Welcome back. This is the my trim Line Radio show
with Nadia here on NewsRadio dou WHB five eating.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Hello, welcome back, and thank you so much for listening.
And if you're just tuning in, I thank you. I
want you to learn something. I want you to better
your life. This is not about weight loss. This is
about wellness, so wellness not only physically but mentally. You know,
I'm really getting into my master's degree in psychology of
weight loss and weight management and nutrition, but I also
(22:42):
have the Master's and behavioral modification meaning stress and everything
that you want to deal with personally mentally. So that
is what I'm doing now, more of a one on
one therapy session, counseling session. You can go to my
trimline dot com and ask any questions and book of
free consult that we can talk. I have the wonderful
(23:03):
Steph Harshburger here. Steph does amazing job with a lot
of things. Steph, please tell them what you do.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Hi. I do botox, fillers, lasers, IVS, GLP medications both
the semi glue tides or a zeppetide, and we do
the bioidentical hormones at our York office, well we do
them at the Campo office, but Page in the York office,
She's definitely taken this under her wing and she does
(23:33):
a lot of the bioidenticals. But we're also starting to
get into the peptides. So everybody is taking peptides and
I'm looking at this course. I so many people say
all these different peptides that you should be taking, but
I really want a true certification course to talk about
(23:55):
dosing and which peptides work with, what.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Because you don't have that. You don't want to give misinformation,
and that's how good you are.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Don't I don't know enough about them. I know I
know some, but I don't know enough to really have
accurate dosing. And I'm not going to go off what
the Internet says.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
No, peptides are really huge, and that's really what we're
going to get into and a sense of what you're
going to be doing and you're going to learn. Obviously
you're going to go take the course, but it's something
that it's huge, and we really want to get ahead
of it and tell you about it and you can
utilize it.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
You know.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
The key is we're talking about preventive medicine and and
some of them we give some of the examples, but
I really want to give you more, Like what are
some examples of preventive appointments people should schedule stuff.
Speaker 4 (24:46):
We did talk about some of them, Like we talked
about skin exams.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Definitely with the dermatologists. You need to see a dermatologist,
and you better booked them in a fable because it's
not how we are taking care of our body now,
our skin. It's what we did in the eighties. I
mean in the eighties. I bathed in baby oil, put
iodine in there, laid on an a luminum foil blanket.
(25:11):
I was on my neighbor Glennis and Glenda Nikovitch. I'll
never forget they had we could crawl up on the roof.
We still lay on the roof on our aluminum foil
blanket and baked to get.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
Closer to the sun.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Oh my gosh, yeah, I'm closer. And tanning beds, Oh gosh,
and tanning beds. Now if I knew how much damage
they did back then. But you know, if you can't
lose the weight tannate, Yeah, you just I fat looks
better tan than it does. Wait, so I did so
many tanning beds, and I'm just waiting for my melanoma
or my skin cancer. I've already had one on my back.
(25:46):
It was severely atypical progressing to melanoma in sight too.
I mean, it's scared the Bejesus out of me. So
I make sure, I mean, I do my yearly skin screenings.
It's so important, it's.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
You know, and yet they is you better book it
now because anytime I want to book my like let's
say if because you know, selim always misappointment. So when
he has like a million moles so and you need
to check them, they're at least three months out, if
not four months.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
I don't know what's going on with a dermatologist. See
if you can get in in SI now.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
Yeah, they're crazy far out and like do we not
have enough dermatologists out there?
Speaker 4 (26:21):
Like what in the world is going on? So that's
a big one.
Speaker 2 (26:25):
We talked about obviously your obgyn for women, We talked
about prostate for men, your mammograms, your bone density.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
You talked aboutlonoscopy that you love. And I'm not very
fond of dental visits. Oh, Dannel, that's huge. I mean
bacteria sister talk time. Yes, last week or two weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Dental visits are extremely important, not just because you want
to your teeth look good or you're not going to cavities,
but honestly, your your dental your mouth.
Speaker 3 (26:53):
Haalth cancer absolutely cancer.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
And it's related to your stomach. Do you know that
you can get a lot of bacteria, a lot of
stomach issues. Your gut flora can be damaged by your mouth, Okay,
which is huge.
Speaker 3 (27:06):
It's kind of it's gross, you know, if you think
about it, it is, but you have to.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
Take care of it then, and I know it's you know,
I know these things cost money, Okay, get it, but
if you prevent them, they're going to save you a
lot of money.
Speaker 4 (27:19):
Like a lot of money. They're going to save you
a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
Right, early detection, Oh, that's it.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
And eye exams.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
Honestly, you know, you have cataracts, you have liness that
could be happening, you can have blockage in your retina.
I mean, there's a lot of things that could be exactly,
there's a lot of things that could be happening that
if you do, you're going to be able to really
prevent them. And what impacts can preventive care have on
over health overall health care.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
Well, it's life changing because early detection means simpler treatments,
it's better outcomes, lower health care costs, and an improved
quality of life. So if you have something wrong with
you when you go and it's in the small stage
of it, it's much much easier to take care of that.
Just like with breast cancer. Just say you find a
(28:04):
lump and you have a lump ectomy, or you know,
you never go and then all of a sudden, this
lump that you have. You now have DCIS or you
have you know, breast cancer that is out of control,
and you have a masectomy.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
Correct, so it can go further. It's even further.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
Bread and then you have metastasis, and now the breast
cancer is now in your liver, you're lung, and then
once it gets to your spine or your brain, you're
you're in big trouble.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Then. Now, I think what people don't realize is how
much power you have. You you, the individual you that
is listening, how much power you have to control your health.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
You have to be your own advocate. I don't, I don't.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
I cannot say this enough, and it really makes me
angry that people don't think they have that you have
so much power over your health. You absolutely do, and
especially with the health system here, that is just so horrible.
It's just so so horrible. So it's extremely important for
you to take it into your own hand and prevent
(29:10):
things you absolutely can. And just because your parents had
them and it runs in it doesn't mean you have to.
You might be a little bit more disposition disposed to it,
meaning you have, but it doesn't mean that's really what
you're going to have to live with. Also, it is
in your power to take control. And when you go
to a doctor appointment. I have a lot of clients
and patients that I asked him, I say, what's this
(29:31):
medication for? It?
Speaker 4 (29:32):
Like, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (29:33):
The doctor put me on it, right, And I'm like, okay,
you're taking this many medications and you don't know half
of them what they're for, which that's not good. And
then also when you get a blood work done, they're
going to do the basics of blood work right. Educate
yourself to get everything done, meaning you can literally check
(29:53):
your you know, your blood cells. Obviously you A and
see all of that you're a thyroid, but you can
even go deeper. You can check your testosterome, your hormones,
your estrogen, I mean, ask research. And when you go
to your doctor and you're like, well, I'm gonna get
some blood work done for you, you know, because they
do they do routine blood work. Your routine blood work
needs to not be routine when you're forty and older, okay, correct,
(30:17):
and fifty and older and sixty and older, it just
gets worse and worse. It should not be a routine
blood work. You should check your kidney, you should check
your liver. I mean, these are things that your blood
work needs to be done.
Speaker 4 (30:27):
Do you agree with that.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Or do you think absolutely no, I absolutely agree. I know,
especially with the gynecologist, that's where I would have them
do my hormones and stuff because then I think they
deal with it every day, so they're better equipped to
know what medications are best treated for your levels.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
The I'm at it in your family fasition.
Speaker 3 (30:52):
Correct, And I mean they also know that you're not
only treating your levels, you're treating symptoms.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Yeah, they're more they're definitely more educated to that, right, okay,
and they can put you on the right path of
feeling better. Honestly, your your hormones being all over the
place and not in the right you know, ratios that
what they're supposed to be. That that's a game changer
for a woman. And obviously we already talked about the
testos from from men. That's a game changer for men.
(31:21):
That's a huge difference. And you know, we often talk
about all these physical health, right, but I am huge
about what it does to mental health. I am, like
I am, and I don't know. I mean, obviously you
know me for a very long time. I'm a positive person.
I'm pretty much a happy, go lucky person. You know,
I get up out of bed full of energy and
(31:41):
happy and annoying, I'm sure to people around me. And
then you know, I'd continue to be like that all
day long because I just that's just who I want
to live my life that way.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
Right.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
So, mental health, I think is extremely important. I don't
know what.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
I don't know what what is more important to the other,
Like if you're mentally not in the right place, how
can you pasically take care of yourself?
Speaker 4 (32:01):
Like to me, mental health is just everything.
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It is.
Speaker 3 (32:04):
It's the critical part of preventative care routine visits. They
provide opportunities to discuss stress, anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and
overall emotional well being. So addressing these issues early can
have a tremendous impact on your overall health and happiness.
Speaker 4 (32:24):
I mean there's stress.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
Everybody has stress, you know, I think I got People
have anxiety, people have depression. People you go through and again,
depression is different levels. Your sleep concerns. Sleep is some
one of the most important things you have to have
to fix that, right, So your mental health is extremely
important and That's why I have become Yeah, I do
weight loss, I've done it for over seventeen years, but
I'm becoming more towards my degree of the mental health
(32:49):
of things.
Speaker 4 (32:50):
And I really feel that that is the core.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
Of the problem that we end up gaining weight or
not exercising, or not taking care of ourselves, or not
being happy with our body and who we are in
our relationship. I mean, I think your mental health really
affects your confidence, your sexuality, your appearance.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I mean that to me.
Speaker 2 (33:09):
If you fix that and we really work on that
is really going to hone in on all the other
problems that you can obviously dent tackle one by one.
And it's always easier to do it when you get
help doing it. That's the key. So go to my
Trium dot com book of free Chat. It's just a conversation,
that's all it is. We're going to take a break
and we'll be right back.
Speaker 5 (33:30):
Let's get back to the my trim Line Radio show
with Nadia on use Radio w HP five eighty.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
Hello and welcome back, and thank you so much for listening.
And I hope you're always feeling motivated to change a
tiny thing for yourself. To make life better. Wellness, wellness, wellness.
I can't say that enough. And before the break, we
were talking about mental health. Okay, and I have the
wonderful Steph Harshburger here. She's a magnificent nurse practitioner. Hi everyone, Yeah,
(34:00):
she's and she has a great voice for for radio,
that's for sure.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
I don't know about that. Maybe the word I'm getting better,
it's still there.
Speaker 4 (34:08):
But you're doing fantastic.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Nobody's going to get drunk, you know, drinking whenever I
say the word today, maybe.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
By taking by taking a shot, you're saying, I don't
think I've even heard it. Honestly, I don't.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
I don't.
Speaker 4 (34:20):
I don't hear it. I didn't. But you know, mental
health is important.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
And you know, you and I were we got together
a couple of days ago, and we were talking about food, right,
and and you know, because people in general struggle with
it and emotional eating obviously, emotional eating, stress eating.
Speaker 4 (34:37):
A relationship with food is just, you know, terrible. We
grow up with it. That's pretty terrible, right.
Speaker 3 (34:44):
And when you go through certain stages in your life,
and if you're depressed, I mean back years ago, I mean,
if I was unhappy, I would eat. I found comfort
in food or shopping. But food just was that soon
thing feeling for me that helped with Then I wasn't
(35:05):
feeling sad because I was happy because I was eating
something good.
Speaker 4 (35:09):
Yeah, it's something you control, That's really what it is.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
Food is like I can control this, I'm gonna feed
myself this and then but then becomes out of control. Right,
So comfort eating, emotional eating, stress eating eating because you're
around people, social events, you're out to a restaurant, so
food is everywhere. And but you know, you said to me,
which because we know each other for a long time,
but you don't know me from you know, like long
(35:32):
long time ago in my teens or you know, when
I was beginning in college.
Speaker 4 (35:36):
You're like, Nadia, what do you say to me? You're like, Nadia,
your mind does not your.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
Mind doesn't think like ours. Yeah, you're like I said,
we we would think about food. You eat to live,
We would live to eat. I mean, the food noise
and everything was so different for me. Whereas you're like,
I love food, whereas I'm like, why love food too?
(36:00):
But I would love food even when I wasn't hungry.
I would just eat it because it looked good. Oh
that brownie. Let me eat that brownie. Oh that cupcake, yeah,
let me eat the cupcake. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And I said to you on break, is that that
is a learned behavior over years for me, right, because
that I was not that I was overweight. I mean,
I've lost fifty seven pounds, but I was overweight in
high school. I was overweight my first two semester, first
semester in college, I started losing weight, but I was
still overweight because I had a lot of weight to me.
But I was literally because you know, we came to
(36:31):
this country. Everybody knows from it, you know, from Iran,
and I did not look good. Okay, First of all,
I was overweight. And I grew up in State College
by the way, good lord, So not only when I
went to high school there, I eventually because I had
to run away after high school.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
That place was choking me to death.
Speaker 2 (36:49):
But I went somewhere else, got my you know, my
first two years, and I went back and I got
my degree from Penn State. But you know, in high
school when I was there a lot of rich people
that go to State College area high school, and you know,
it was the eighties, so there was a lot of
heathers there as we all know, with the blonde hair
and you know whatever. And then then there was me,
(37:11):
dirt poor, you know, and barely you know at my education.
I had to make put me through anything, and it
was brutal.
Speaker 4 (37:17):
I was very depressed. I was overweight.
Speaker 2 (37:19):
I had just left my country and was in Germany
for a while before we could come to Iran. That
was come to America, i should say. And I was
in the war for two years where there treated women horribly.
When I was you know, we found finally fled. So
when I came to America, I was really not happy.
And we were dirt poor. A bunch of us were
(37:40):
in just one one tiny little house, and me and
my sisters and brothers were always get into fights, and
it was just really really bad. But and I looked horrible,
you know, I had a helmet head for a hair
I did. It was horrible because you know where I
went to get my hair cut whatever that five dollars.
Then it was two dollars to cut your hair. What
is it called empire? Empire is something where.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
People would learn on school, the school, but.
Speaker 2 (38:05):
They would they would do it on live. I was
a guinea pig, okay. You Basically they would do it
on live hair meaning mine, okay and my poor sisters,
and they would like color your hair or cut your hair,
so they just would botch my hair up.
Speaker 4 (38:18):
Looked like a helmet head.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
And I had a un of brow which was really bad,
really puffy cattle pillar uni brow okay, and overweight. I mean,
it was just fantastic. I had the trifecta, the hair,
the una brow, and the way. Okay, the wrong trifecta.
But you know, so I was very depressed.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
I really looked in the mirror.
Speaker 2 (38:37):
I didn't even like myself. I didn't I hated what
I was wearing. I didn't like going to school. It
wasn't four two three girlfriends of mine, I think I
would have really not survived. But it's a learned behavior.
My point is you can overcome it. Your brain, your
mental state. You have so much power to change things.
(39:01):
We just need to apply it and learn to change
a behavior in a thought process. Now does a shot
or a pill make it easier?
Speaker 3 (39:09):
Oh my gosh, yeah, it totally makes it easier. And
I think the shot for me has really opened my
eyes to that fact that I can change, but having
the shot there, even at this microdose level, it is
so incredibly helpful to me that I know you don't
(39:32):
want to hear this, but I will probably stay on
this shot micro dosing forever. But not just because of that,
because of all the benefits that are associated with it
that they're finding. New researchers coming out all the time.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
But they're good and bad to it, Okay, because I've
done a lot of research. There's good, there's good and
bad to it. Like everything in the world. There's good
bad to everything in the world, right, and that's just
really what the world is about. You know, you can
go to California, the weather gorgeous, but you don't get
your winter spring and whatever. I mean there is there
is good and bad about everything.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Positives always always not good.
Speaker 4 (40:07):
Is they're really You're right there, It's absolutely there.
Speaker 2 (40:10):
I think what really kind of worries me is how
somebody I know personally myself, that they feel like they
have to do it or else they're going to gain
like the they have to be on it because the
fear of even gaining say four pounds, right or gaining
some of it, Like you're you're so addicted to the
(40:32):
fact of I have to be on this because not
not because I want to eat healthy like that.
Speaker 3 (40:38):
You know, you're just afraid. I think the whole thing
is you're afraid to go back to that mental state.
You're afraid to gain that weight back because you don't
want those feelings that were associated with over weight. And
I made I get that.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
I get fear of gaining the weight back. I get
fear of all of that. But but then you don't
take you don't take one tiny to step to fix
your nutrition, to learn to nourish your body to I mean,
I mean, this person I know doesn't eat right, barely
eats overeats sometimes. I mean, just like to me, it
drives me crazy that I get the feed.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
It's frustrating to you because you do eat healthy and
you do those things.
Speaker 2 (41:18):
But I mean, and I still eat drink alcohol, you
know that. And I still love the fries and I
do the cake. But I'm not saying anybody needs to
be me. I'm saying, while you're microdosing and doing all
of that, get your nutrition under control, nourish your body,
feed it correctly, because not only it's for your body
to nourish it it's also for your mind, for your
neurons in your brain.
Speaker 4 (41:39):
So how are you going to not get dementia? I
mean that that's the.
Speaker 3 (41:43):
Body needs that.
Speaker 2 (41:44):
I don't care if you're going to microdose for the
rest of your life, you know. I think that with
your nutrition and you're going for a walk, that should
still be part of what you're trying to do and
live on a daily basis, because that's going to enhance
what you're doing.
Speaker 3 (41:58):
You know, I eat healthier than I have ever eaten
in my life.
Speaker 4 (42:02):
Yeah, because it's coming down. You always say you wish together. Yeah,
you wish you would have done at the beginning when
you first started.
Speaker 3 (42:10):
When I didn't know.
Speaker 4 (42:11):
But that's what I'm saying everybody that's doing it. At
the beginning, it's been on it.
Speaker 3 (42:15):
You're just happy because you're losing weight. But now once
you've been on it, now you realize that you have
to incorporate nutrition with.
Speaker 4 (42:24):
It, which is which is the key.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
I mean that what you're putting into your body is
the key, and what you're not putting into your body,
meaning you're not eating enough, not nutrition, you know, having
enough nutrients, that's a key. Also, that's horrible you're really
damaging your body. And I'm gonna you know, the quick
story is, because we're almost done here, I'll tost it
that next time. But what I really want to do
if the listeners take away one message from Twoday's conversation,
(42:48):
what would it.
Speaker 3 (42:49):
Be, Premative health mean, take it, be your own advocate.
Look out for yourself, because I feel like women are
a little more in tune with their bodies than And
if your wife, or your girlfriend or or somebody is
saying you need to go to the doctor, go to
the doctor.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Absolutely, And you know, we'll maybe we're a little too
in tune with our body because we picked that thing exactly.
You know. But your health is one of your greatest assets.
Investing in a little time and preventive care today can
help you avoid significant health challenges tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (43:21):
Don't wait until something feels wrong.
Speaker 2 (43:24):
Make your health a priority, and schedule those routine appointments.
That is the most important thing. And thank you so much.
I want to thank you so much for coming on board, Steph,
and I hope you have it.
Speaker 3 (43:35):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4 (43:37):
Until next time, Let's.
Speaker 3 (43:39):
Go to the pool, Let's go to the full.
Speaker 4 (43:40):
Have a great day.
