Speaker 1 (00:15):
Seven six here at fifty five care CEV talk station.
Very happy Thursday two and a very happy anniversary to
my wife and to me.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
I'm a lucky man.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I've kicked my coverage and I've enjoyed that for thirty
three years. Actually been together for thirty eight years, but
married thirty three today. And I know I've said that
listeners who have been around all morning. I'm just happy
about it. I'm happy to encourage everyone out there to
enjoy their marital bliss and find marital bliss because it's
a hell of a lot easier than being out in
a single world these days. At least that's what I
(00:44):
read about anyway. Welcome back to the fifty five Carecy
Morns Show. Moved away from politics and talking health from
Restore Wellness Dot Org, Keith Tennefeld, George Brenneman in studio.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Good to see you guys again.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's always a pleasure getting away from politics and learning
something important about us how we can proactively take of ourselves.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Great to be here again, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And you know ke Keith. I know your nurse practitioner
and you specialized in this. Your business is to help
people find a better path get him around some of
the symptoms and promising encounter and face and George, you
just kind of like stumbled into this with your personal health.
You know, I was retired and needed something to do
and was starting to get concerned about, you know, getting
older and finding a different way. Yeah, ran into Keith,
(01:25):
ran into a bunch of books and here we are.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And speaking of resources, they got links to a lot
of the resources they relied on at resore wellness dot org.
I saw you interviewed Congressman Warren Davidson and how did
he end up get being interviewed by you guys since
you're focusing on fitness on the website.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was interesting because my wife and I visited DC
last month and got to meet with Warren and his
chiefest staff.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I had a great conversation and his approach to COVID
and what happened afterwards in the in the fact that
there were these shutdowns and managed. He was extremely you know,
emotional about that, just like we were, you know, And
so I said to him, heck with you know, talking
to you about political stuff, I'd love to talk to
you about health and wellness. So it was a great conversation.
(02:09):
I encourage people to go listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, go to story restore Wanness dot org and if
you've got a link to Spotify, that's where it is,
so you can get it multiple different ways wherever you
find your podcast. That's it, all right, Well, today we're
not going to talk about food so much or exercise
so much. We've been on those topics before. But something
that I know a lot of people, including I deal
with stress.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean it's.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's easily the biggest thing beyond nutrition and exercise. Nutrition
and exercise are your biggest levers, right, I mean, what
goes into your body and what you do with it.
But after that, the next biggest is stress. And you know,
there are multiple kinds of stress, especially in today's world.
You got the stress of you know, what's going on
with the water, the air, the weather this week, you
(02:54):
know with the huge you know, temperature spikes and the humidity,
so that all puts pressure on your body and has
side effects that are not exactly healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, and I think it's stressed though, I mean I
think more long lines of cognitive stress. That means I
am stressed out by what I do for a living. Well,
you just showed me the stack of stuff you got
to read. It's like holy cavi.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And trust me, in that ream of paper that I
just showed you, there's not a whole lot of good news.
And so that's what I mean, that's where the clicks
come from. That's what people are interested in. You know,
Oh my god, what's going to happen? Oh my god?
What it's Usually it's something terrible. And you know, from
my perspective, I get stressed out over government action and
intrusions into my civil liberties and where they're spending money,
(03:38):
and the fact that my own labor is being used
against me in so many ways. And I mean, this
festers in the back of my mind twenty four to seven.
I can't do a damn thing about it except try
to raise awareness and get people to pursue a different
political path or make a different choice when it comes
to that kind of thing, you know. But it's like
a heavy weight, you know, And the fact that I
(03:58):
cannot avoid it. I'm not by by by virtue of
what I do for a living. I'm forced to pay attention.
I can't take a break.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, just the fact that you've talked about it for
two minutes now means it's really front of mind, and
is cause it always it always it has got to
be causing, you know, the mental stress. And I always
think of it in terms of the prayer that the
alcoholics anonymous, you know, teach me to know what I
can change and what I right. Solimity if it's almost
(04:28):
like living in the moment, you know, the hell, if
we can all just live in the moment, we wouldn't
be thinking about extraneous things. We'd be dealing with what's
in front of us and what we're dealing with at
that moment in time. So it's one thing. It's like
telling somebody to snap out of depression. I'll you got
all this going for you, just snap out of it.
And everybody who knows anything about depression knows it is
not that simple. It is so much more complex than that.
(04:51):
So I can tell myself, God, Brian, could just snap.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Why are you letting this bother you? You have no
control over it. But then I find myself sitting at
my house on my laptop four hours a day or
whatever and doing this for four hours on the radio,
and I'm just surrounded by it, so it's it's at
the forefront of my mind, so stress driven by jobs.
I have a doctor friend of mine, it's actually one
(05:15):
of my best friends, the godfather of my daughter. In fact,
he's a surgeon, and I think about him because you
don't walk away from that. He's doing operations. Lives are
in his hands. You just don't go at home at
night and turn that crap off. I don't know how
you could. How you could, you know?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I think it's it's one of those things that you know,
life is what we make it. And unfortunately, when we're
put here on this earth to live a life, we
have a choice. We can stay wound up or we
can enjoy it and listening to the birds and the
bees kind of case scenario. But the question is is
how do you balance that? How do you catch yourself
in a downward spiral being cognitive and learning to say, hey,
I can take this time in my life to down
(05:52):
regulate and to really take in and enjoy what life
is meant to be for us, or I can live
the busy life, the city life, to whatever life. And
I think trying to balance that's the hard part. More importantly,
what is our brain doing in patterns? How are we
thinking in patterns? Because we're always gonna think because our
pattern teaches us to think that way. So learning to
break that pattern and say, you know what, life is short,
(06:13):
we should be grateful and it's in one person will
say it's it's very hard to be grateful and anxious
at the same time. So how many times during the
day do we spend going what am I grateful for?
What are the things in my life that I that
doesn't stress me out?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And do they? Are they real? Exactly? They are real.
But the situation that's.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Going on in another country is also real, but it
can't impact me. But the things that in my life
that can impact me or right in front of me,
and am I grateful for those?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Walking through a thoughtful analysis in order to shift the
focus of your attention.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Right, Well, it's in your head and truly stresses in
your head, but it definitely has physical side effects because
when you're stressed, you can tell your blood pressure is
going up. Great's going up. That can't be good for
long term health. And like you just mentioned, how to
how did I get into the wellness? Well that was
part of it. I mean stressing over the political situation
(07:05):
or stressing over you know, what's going on in the
engineering world. You gotta at some point say what can
I do to make that not hurt me so much?
Or are there alternative ways of doing it? So I
think there's a lot of implications with stress, both mental
and physical stress that get your body worked up, which
(07:27):
means you can't be healthy. I mean, you've got to
get the the body to be open to the idea
of you know, I got to relax, and when I relax,
my heart rate goes down, my blood pressure goes down,
and I've got to be able to identify, hey, I
can't do anything about this. I gotta let go. I
have to let it go. But it is tough, especially
(07:47):
if your job focuses around talking about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well, you know, the area lines a challenge and you know,
plus plus four hours of time I got to fill in.
I mean, it's just like being on stage and you're
being lord or performing or actually try not to call
it performance because that suggests that I'm not being real.
But you at least have to be aware about the
(08:10):
facts and the information about the topics that people want
to talk about so they don't sound like a complete
idiot every day. Not to me, that's a stress. So
I mean, there are things you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You can in your case, you're getting the news out there,
You're helping influence people to change things. You can write articles,
even if you don't send it to somebody, write a
letter to the editor, and just get your thoughts down
on paper. That's an easy way to work. That sounds
a way to generate more stress. Find I find it.
It's sometimes it's easy to break it down. And let's
(08:41):
take a look at stress. So obviously we have work stress,
we have thought stress. But let's look at the things
that maybe we can control. For instance, you know your diet.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
What things are you putting into your diet and your
body that could be increasing your stress as far as
inflammatory stress. Right, your hydration, same thing, are you drinking enough?
Is your brain calm because you're well hydrated?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What about sleep?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Sleep's a fantastic way to get restorative sleep, but if
you don't get enough, you're going to have a stress cycle.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And I know we're going to have a conversation about
sleep too. And I think I got I got a point.
I want to make that I solve my getting to
sleep difficulties brought about by stress, the thoughts going through
your head, the things that everybody kind of experience. You know,
people experience all the time. You lay down at night
and all this like what did I do today? What
did I say? I wish I hadn't said that, and
then you think about, well, all the things you got
(09:29):
to do tomorrow. That kind of that. That's a form
of mental stress. But it also impacts the sleep, which
is a terrible thing as well. We'll get some of
the information on what lack of sleep and bad sleeps
patterns can do to you. Stick around more with George

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Station JISHI seven twenty if you bout pircde talkstation Restore
Wellness dot org with George Renaman and Keith enfl talking
health and talking stress. And I to pass along one
of the mechanisms to manage stress for me. And I
like telling people this because I know how many people
struggle to go to sleep. And we're gonna talk about
the importance of sleep here this morning with these guys.
(11:59):
But you know, very very long period of time where
I had problems going to sleep. You know, you're thinking
about all the stuff that you said, Oh my god,
you know, and it's racing through your mind that I
embarrass myself. Whatever things that you did, activities you went
through during the day, and then you think about tomorrow
and what you got to do tomorrow, and oh my god,
I got that thing coming up at the end of
the week. And why when you are laying in bed
(12:22):
and getting ready to go to sleep and doing something
for your body that's so important, that is getting a
good night's ress, why are we thinking about that kind
of thing. So I always start out if I feel
and I've gotten to the point where I have no
problem at all going to sleep anymore, because I've been
doing this for so many years. First off, it's the
worst possible talk. You're not going to be doing anything.
You're going to sleep, You're going to be laying in
(12:43):
bed think about stress, right because you can't unring the
bell of what happened, and you can't accomplish anything while
you're laying in bed trying to go to sleep. So
all those activities may be on your plate, but now
is not the time to think about them. So try
to start with that. And then what I always do
is engage in the sort of meditative process. I close
my eyes and I put myself in this peaceful tranquil
(13:06):
and I use a forest and you know you mentioned
off air a beach in Hawaii, wherever uncovered by anything.
You're alone and you're just peacefully walking and you know,
you don't necessarily have any place to go. But what
I'm focusing on is this fictitious mental walk, meaning I'm
not focusing on the clutter. So it's a form of meditation.
(13:28):
You are consciously engaging in a thought process, unlike meditation,
which is clearing your mind of everything. And that's almost
impossible for a guy like me to accomplish my you know,
the seven squirrels running around in my brain. But by
engaging in this meditative process to the exclusion of the clutter,
you know what, I never get to where I'm going.
I always end up falling asleep. And it's almost second
(13:49):
nature to me now and it really truly works. So
maybe something that my listeners can try if they struggle
to get to sleep.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And it's a it's a mental process.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I think the key thing was stressed during the day,
and like you say, nine times, the worst time to
be talking about stress because you got to get to sleep.
But during the day, you know, it does have that
side effect on your body. And can you go through
some of the you know, what is it that happens
to cause chronic illness because of stress.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
There's this really cool term called inflame aging. Wi's basically
chronic inflammation that increases aging oxidative stress, which is as
free radical. It gets tossed out in your body from
just normal daily activities, and then you increase that because
the cortisol production. Next to cortisol is a side effect
of stress exactly. And it's you know, it's your fight
or flight chemical, right, it's to get me out of
(14:36):
this danger situation. Yeah, and what really that we don't
need that. We're not in danger. You know, right at
the top of the food chain, everything's pretty comfortable. But
for some reason we keep on building this court is all.
And you add that to our environmental problems such as
you know, bad air, bad water, you know, small everything else,
heavy metals, and now our mitochondria are getting their butt
kicked and we have to do something about that. We
(14:57):
have to clear that oxidative stress. And so there's any
different ways to clear oxidator stress. Ironically, it's your antioxidant's
your healthy blueberries and your veratrols and your NAC and
there's a whole list of them. You just google, you know,
the top five antioxidants and get to work. SANA is
another fantastic way to get oxidative stress out of your body,
but to get more onto the damaging of it. It
(15:18):
can actually cause epigenic changes. Your genetics can get changed,
and there's your cancer potential, your cancer risks. Not to mention,
your teleomers get shortened, which filmers are DNA exactly your
DNA and that helps you rebuild all your new cells.
And so what are things like? Meditation is a great
way to lengthen your telemers. Deep breathing great way to
lengthen it. Antioxidation lengthen your teleomers, and that's kind of
(15:40):
the goal when you're trying to do you're trying to
reverse inflammaging, inflammating.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
When I send it to me, I'm like, what the
heck you misspelled inflammation? That's common. Inflammating makes sense. I mean,
it's easily one of the bigger problems inflammation, especially with
you know what's happening with the food supply and some
of the crazy stuff they're winker process foods increases inflammation.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Right, and you see that in your joints, You see
that in your anxiety. Anxiety can be a sign that
you have neuro inflammation. You know, neuroinflammation is a very
real deal. And so if you're feeling anxious or feeling depressed,
your brain's just not thinking, right, it's probably inflammation. So
what you're saying is it is a a you're influenced
(16:23):
by your environment. Of course, the pollutants, toxins, et cetera
that we regularly encounter.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The environment. Of course, what we put in our body
literally has an impact on this. And then of course
our cognitive state and how we cope or not cope
as the case maybe with the mental stress.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And that's a good thing is that if we can
improve that inflammation in our brain, maybe we can cope
better as well. So taking in less inflammatory foods, better water,
and staying away from you know, environmental toxins can possibly
give us that cerebral benefit where we can cope with
stress a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It's like everything in mother nature, it's like it's all intertwined.
We said we didn't want to talk about nutrition in
the exercise today, but right, because welcome to holistic meta stress.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You got exactly, it's all linked. That's the end of
the point that needs to be made. All right, we'll
continue with Keith and George after I mentioned my friends
at Zimmer Heating and air Conditioning, and of course air
conditioning has been really important of late, so dang hot

Speaker 1 (18:05):
The talk station what here's your Channa nine first one
and wether forecast hot and humid. Yes, heat indexs on
one hundreds on a high of ninety two and a
chance of storm at the beginning at noon and lasting
through sunset overnight. It'll stay muggy seventy three for the
overnight low ninety two with a heat index around one

(18:28):
the high on Saturday. With good news they say a
cold to front, a cold front is approaching seventy six
right now.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Time for traffic.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Or not?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Just Trekker, Go check on Chuck, see if he's all right.
Keith Enfel, George Brenneman Studio, Restore Wellness dot organs where
you find them online and see the information they have there.
We're talking health and wellness generally speaking. Today's topics generally
around stress both physical and men toll uh and sleep
as well, and they're all connected and I, as George
(19:07):
put it out, the outset. I said, we wouldn't be
talking so much about diet, but that it's related. Holistic
medicine involves looking at all aspects of one's life, the
environmental component, the health are, the mental component, what you're
eating component, and then also mechanisms to change, for example,
(19:27):
your diet to deal with things like stress. You mentioned
getting these free radicals and your DNA in line and
all that, and that's directly related to what you eat.
Are there certain foods out there in the world that
cause the stress?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, a lot. Actually there's you know, anything as the preservatives.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
If you go to your Chinese restaurant and you get
to you know this MMSG, that's a neurotoxin to believe
it or not.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I thought they got rid of most of that because
MSG kind of everybody's radar. I think back in the
eighties and you could ask for no MSG, and then
they started advertising at Chinese residents. We don't use MSG,
but they still if you look on an ingredient list
for some reason, they're allowed to call it natural flavor.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Right, Oh, is that what that? So when you see
something as natural flavor, that's usually MSG.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So you know, this goes back to our previous conversation,
but sugar is probably the one of the most highly
inflammatory things that you can do increasing your oxidative stress. Whereas,
like my father in law just reminded me, turmeric, especially
turmeric paste the recipe online can do the exact opposite.
It's great anti inflammatory. So there's a lot of things.
One of the supplements I take, it's a great one,
and also talked about telemre length tumoric can help out
(20:35):
with that too. And so to get back into that
diet piece, for instance, you would think exercise, all exercise
has got to be great for quartisol reduction, Well not necessarily.
If you're under like a high mileage like your five
k R, ten k or thirty k people's they're actually
producing a lot of quartisol. Their body gets into kind
of all the miss a shock state, and that can
(20:55):
be if you're someone who's trying to reduce cortisol or
someone who's trying to prove their inflammation. You might not
want to be that type of athlete. Whereas if you
run for three minutes and walk for three minutes and
you do that for an hour, you stay in zone
two and three, and that's actually very good for oxidative stress.
He gets rid of that oxidative stress. So it's a balance.
(21:16):
It's all in the balance, right, And you also mentioned
some other aspects at about diet. You know, I think
the thing is is fasting. Sometimes we eat just too much.
We're putting too much stress on our body because we're
always digestify.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I hear fasting is great for you all the time,
But then I read there are different types of fasting,
and I've seen some people are insane, people just drinking
water exclusively for really long time. I mean, I'm like,
there's no way in hell I could deal with that.
But then again, I've also read that just not eating
for twelve hours a form of fasting. And that's pretty
(21:53):
much my life. I don't need anything after say six pm,
and here my breakfast. My bana has been laying here,
and I've been up since two thirty this morning. It's
already seven thirty, so it's been my gosh, it's been
more than twelve hours, been thirteen hours since I've eaten anything.
So that's a fast, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's kind of like churning butter.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
You know, the longer you do it, you get a
different product, and so if you're looking for just general
fasting and gut like rest, yeah, twelve hour twenty four
hours are kind of where you're going. If you want
to start losing weight, that doesn't start happening until about
forty eight seventy two hours. And if you want to
start building stem cells, which help rebuild your body and
actually repair itself in unique ways, you're looking at ninety
(22:32):
six hours or more.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It keeps memohing me for a ninety six hour. I
haven't done it yet. I did do forty eight. I
did do forty eight, and it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
First of all, you look great because you start losing
a lot of weight. Oh yeah, but it's almost like
at that point you find wherever your weakness is. So
my weakness tends to be headaches. So I'll start to
get a headaches after that. But I got to try
it at least once because the benefits are supposedly enormous,
and you're seeing it all over on X in the
wellness feeds.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I see a lot of way about the ninety six hour.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, if you pay any attention to the general area
we are talking about here in this during this hour,
you're going to run into a lot of information on
fasting well.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And for for starters.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The whole breakfast thing was started because you know, in
the United States, we didn't eat breakfast. If you ate
breakfast whenever was left over the night before. Listen, I
got a lot of relatives that were farmers.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And you know, back in the day, and you ate
a huge breakfast in the morning because you were outdoors
the rest of the day.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But once the industrial revolution hit, it's like, you know,
what do you need to eat breakfast for we when
I sit down?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
For now we're just sitting down a lot. But you know,
eating fasting was is more important now than it probably
ever has been because back in the day we are
highly physical, highly motivated, highly burning calories.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And now we're sitting down, So whoa, our calorie intake
needs to come down because we're not burning this calory.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I see that that that's a straight arrow, direct line
reality with it. It's we live a much more sedentary life.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Why it's more important to spend at least one or
two hours WHOA, that's a lot doing some physical activity.
I mean, you really need to get your butt moving
or is you're going to be in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, all right, we're learning a lot from George and Keith.
Today we're going to focus a little bit more on
sleep coming up. Got a couple more segments to deal
with the folks, and maybe we can learned something about
maybe how bad it is that we don't get good
night's sleeve and some help and getting us in the
direction of getting some good night's sleep. Stress and sleep
first though, this is that Low's Camp across Country Mortgaane

to review my ninety day pre approval numerous times and
she's always extremely response, he said, Now to the point
I finally found a house. In the process of that underwriting,
she was informed that I showed three open mortgages that
(24:54):
were never released on my property. I have had my
phone my home paid off for over a decade. It
make matters worse. Sometimes in the past my late wife
had thrown out the releases, and of course all three
financial institutions had been acquired numerous times by other financial institutions.
I was having zero luck and resolving this. I jokingly
mentioned this Suzette that I was having sleepless nights. Imagine
(25:16):
my surprise and delight when out of the blue she
called me to inform me that she called in a
favor to help me. She had the releases located and
forwarded them to me so I could relax. So I've
heard you heat praise on her, and today I want

Talking health with Georgia Keith George running with Keith Tennefeld
at It's Restore Wellness Dot orgs Rey Final online, and
we're talking about stress. We didn't dwell much on physical stress.
I know I've heard the discussion off of mental stress,
(27:41):
primarily because at least something I have a connection too.
But sleep also has a profound impact on our on
our lives and our health as well. From what I understand.
What we'll talk about the amount of sleep we need.
People I have struggled with challenges of getting a complete
(28:02):
full night's sleep. But what are the downside health risks
for not having sufficient sleep?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We did a podcast with Jimbocollins a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I encourage you to listen.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He's a bodybuilder, you know, a personal trainer kind of guy,
and I found it I had not heard this before
that sleep is where you build your muscle back it's right.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's the restorative part.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Like you go to the gym, you tear down your muscles,
and sleep is where you build them.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I had never heard that before, and I thought, that's
just another reason why, you know, sleep's got to be
at the near the top of the list of things
you can.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Do for your health. You know, we spend one third
of our life asleep. That's a lot, and so if
we don't make one third of our life a priority,
then we're doing something really really wrong. And it's amazing
where people like you said, you're busy or up on
your phone doing all this stuff late at night and
you're trying to rob yourself of this sleep because you
need more time during the day, but you're doing nothing
but harm at that point in time.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well know, going back to my sleep, get the sleep
trick that I mentioned earlier, there's no way you can
accomplish that if you have a damn cell phone over
there that's actually going off. I don't understand how anybody
can live their lives with a cell phone laying next
to on another nightstand. And you know, I'm your George.
(29:21):
You aren't disturbed in your sleep routine by that thing
going off?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I mean it doesn't go off.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I I finally figured out how to turn it off
between certain hours. But that is off and not bothering
your Do you wake up in the middle of the
night and feel compelled to look over to see if
you got any text messages?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Do?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Fortunately, George metaphorically slap you from across.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I'll do it on this that nerd, right, So I've
been in nerds just before they called us that I
had the bag phone.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Then I had the huge thing that barely fitted your pocket.
I was the first guy to have.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I still have a puppet engineer.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
But you don't have any pockets today.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
But you do read my white fould saw me on
on this all the time that you know, you read
about the blue light filters and the fact that you
shouldn't be watching your screen before you go to bed.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I just can't stop.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
So this side of it's a sign of addiction. You say, you,
of all people, know it's bad for you. You know
it's disruptive to something so vitally important. It's Keith pointing
out sleep, and yet you don't do something as simple
as just turning it off and not looking at it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No, it's the middle of the night. This is why
I turned mine off. You know, I grew up in
an era where I we didn't have phone calls at night,
even though you could make Oh yes, my dad went
to sleep early and he didn't want to be disturbed.
He wasn't going to take a phone call the middle
of the night, so you just waited till the next day.
So if I wake up I got a voicemail my
cell phone, I'll deal with the time. Yeah, I normally don't.
(30:51):
I get maybe half a dozen or a dozen texts
that I wake up to. Those didn't need to be
addressed overnight. There's nothing emergent coming in on my phone,
So screw it, turn it off, lay it down, George,
that's your assignment. Ye, Then an example for the people
you are trying to help out with their wellness. So
if you want to live longer, sleep more. Ironically, that's
that's a life expectancy hack number two. Everybody probably struggles
(31:15):
with sleep to some degree. If you are finding that
in a classic question, I ask in my practices.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Do you snore? Or if there's a couple there, does
he or she snore?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
And the answer is yes, you need to get that
checked out because obstructive sleep apnea, being basically being choked
one third of your day is a horrible thing and
that needs to be resolved. I can cause all kinds
of cardiovascular, cause chf, cause all other crazy problems. I
got some tips to help you sleep here in a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Great, Well, let's we'll hear from the guys on the tips,
and I'm looking forward to hearing them. I did a
sleep avenuea test hit sleep apnea, and it was just awful.
That you're drowning essentially, you're being in It can really
cause like a panic attack during the day because it's
it wakes literally wakes you up. Unfortunately for me, I
(32:04):
just am loathed the concept of getting a seapap machine.
I got a custom orthotic from doctor Fred Pack which
pushes my jaw out. It's reasonably comfortable. I'm awaring it
for years and it works ninety percent of the time.
My wife will occasionally say you were snoring, but for
the most part just kicking me and making me roll over.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
If you're overweight and you snore, that's a problem. If
you get that snoring fixed, you can lose weight easier.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well, I don't consider myself overweight, and yet I still
have the apnea issue, so go ahead and figure that
one out. We'll continue to get some tips from George
and Keith at seven forty five. Right now, and let
me strongly encourage you. Obviously, the heat is on and
you could be feeling far more comfortable and save a
lot of money in your energy bill fighting that uphill
heat battle with your AC system. But just by getting
(32:50):
USA insulation, you may need it, you may not. That's
why they do a free inspection in free quote for
folks with old homes that don't have any insulation in
the exterior. Well, yeah, you need it if you have
an older home. My daughter's is a great illustration that
was built late seventies, had think R twelve in it
that ain't R twelve. After that many years, it's reduced
its effectiveness and it's never it wasn't sufficient at all.
(33:12):
Modern insulation, USA's premium foam, highest R value on the market,
got that injected into the xterior walls along with that
old insulation. They are uber comfortable, and of course the
savings are going to be obvious to them. Only ninety
nine dollars a month interest free probably pay for itself,
depending on your current energy bills, so you will save money,
the product will pay for itself, and you will be
eligible for a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit next

George Venaman and Keith Enfield again Restore Wellness dot org,
providing some value information and pointing out the obvious importance
of dealing with and managing stress, both physical and mental,
and the implications within your body on what stress can do.
And then we're also focusing on sleep, and I know,
(35:21):
Keith you you wanted to pass along some helpful hints
and mechanisms for my listeners to help get them that
good night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
That's right, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Obviously routine is the most important part where you say, Okay,
at this time, I'm getting going to bed, and I'm
only going to go to bed. You know, the bed
is designed for a couple purposes. One of them is
not to sit up and watch TV and stay on
your cellphone.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Right, it's the other purpose that I prefer. But you
know that can help you sleep too.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Oh yeah, specially if done properly, right exactly, And we'll
talk about that in the next segment.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Anyway, So a couple of good supplements.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
L theanine lthanine is a very good stress doucer and
helps you sleep one hundred to two hundred milligrams about
an hour before bed. Magnesium theorinate or three or in
eight is it what they sometimes will say, one to
two grams an hour before bed. Obviously, the whole camomal
tea is another good thing that you can do. You
and Brian brought up a great idea of guided imagery.
(36:17):
That's a very fantastic thing to do.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
My meditative walk in the woods thing. Very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
That has a name guided imagery. No, no, you invented
itt of it. I just termed it. I just put
put a name to it. Made me feel sophisticated. Sometimes
people really need to burn muscle tension. Uh, they feel
like they're just tight.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
So stretching and or doing a couple of rounds of
some hit exercises.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Sometimes that's say, exercises actually can wake you up, but
it actually can also exhaust you too. So if you
want to do a bunch of push ups or stretches
that help just lengthen everything.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, I will occasionally, usually on an as needed basis,
because I used to I really used to be big
into yoga. I'll do some yoga stretches and twists, and
that really helps me get comfortable to fall asleep.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Another good bio hack is if you're if you're a
person who takes a shower at night and this is
strange warm shower, hot shower, and then switch it to
cold for thirty seconds to a minute, and it's in
that state that produces this great way to relax and
go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Really yep.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Uh Gary Becker talks about that one. And then last
but not least, kind of having a brain fart here, it's.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Uh oh, what was it? Not a great time to
go to a break? Uh? Boy?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Anyway, so let's just try to make My goal overall
is to make sleep a priority. If it's one third
of your life, you need to make it a priority
if you need to get a sleeping medication because you've
tried everything. You've tried melatone, you tried magnesi, you tried
these these records.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Meltone was when I was trying to come up with
because you didn't mention that specifically.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
I'm not a fan of melatonin because of the way
way to interrupt your chronic serotonin production, and I'd like
to try that To do that naturally, it's usually gut health.
You get on a good circadian rhythm, you wake up
with the sun, you try to go to bed roughly
around sunset, your circadian get rhythm gets reset, and your
serotonin levels are usually fine.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Melatonin hacks that.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
So I try to stay away from that, but you
might want to talk to your provider about a you know,
another alternative if nothing else is getting you to sleep.
And there's a lot of medications out there that have
been around for a while that work very very well,
and then there's some new ones too. Zach acts right.
There's that, there's transit do own, there's ambience. I'm not
trying to be a promoter of pharmaceuticals, but because sleep
(38:33):
is so important, and if you've tried everything. Sometimes you
just need to do that because it's important to you.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Okay, I guess they're monitoring and controlling the prescription drugs
along those lines so much more than they used to because,
of course all the problems we've got with over prescribing
and people getting addicted. So the idea of getting xanax
from your provider, that may be a short term kind
of thing from the provider's perspective.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Now, well, the beauty is to look all at all
of these you're trying to get us so that your
body naturally will do the inflammation control or to be
muscle smory jack exactly like muscle memory. Everything we're talking
about for the most part. You know, when you start
talking about meds or specific supplements, the idea is to
(39:18):
try and find a more natural way to get those
to happen instead of having to you know, go out
there and artificially introduce them.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I just the whole concept of having to be reliant
on a pharmaceutical company, even if it's providing you with
great benefits, even if there's no downside risk. If you
need a prescription, you're kind of stuck.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Oh that's what I was going to say, is hormones,
especially if females postmenopausal perimenopausal progesterone levels, this can be
very very important to help you balance sleep well.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I was gonna mention, Yeah, I used to do commercials for.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Uh sorry, see I couldn't wait any longer to apologies
for that. That should never happen on the radio, Brian.
But I used to do commercials for a center that
did hormone bioidentical hormone replacements, and man, I had all
kinds of people tell me how wonderful the outcome was
(40:10):
with that. Yeah, going back to the multiple reasons for
the bad Yeah, and just general overall wellness and feeling
of greater energy and more balance and things in life. So,
if your hormones are out of whack, it can be
dealt with, yep.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
And it can actually change a person's personality if your
hormones are out of whack to the point where not
only are you losing sleep, but you're you're somebody else.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, strange. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
I had a friend who had struggled with weight loss.
He went in and had his hormone level checked. Zero testosterone.
His body didn't produce it, And that's that's the main
reason he wasn't able to lose weight as as much
as he tried and as often as he worked out,
went on the hormone replacement therapy and it worked miracles
for him. Keith George, it's always a pleasure. Restore Wellness

Restore Wellness Dot Org, Keith Tennefeld, George Brenneman in studio.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
Good to see you guys again.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
It's always a pleasure getting away from politics and learning
something important about us how we can proactively take of ourselves.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Great to be here again, Good morning, Brian.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
And you know ke Keith. I know your nurse practitioner
and you specialized in this. Your business is to help
people find a better path get him around some of
the symptoms and promising encounter and face and George, you
just kind of like stumbled into this with your personal health.
You know, I was retired and needed something to do
and was starting to get concerned about, you know, getting
older and finding a different way. Yeah, ran into Keith,
(01:25):
ran into a bunch of books and here we are.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
And speaking of resources, they got links to a lot
of the resources they relied on at resore wellness dot org.
I saw you interviewed Congressman Warren Davidson and how did
he end up get being interviewed by you guys since
you're focusing on fitness on the website.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
It was interesting because my wife and I visited DC
last month and got to meet with Warren and his
chiefest staff.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
He's a great guy.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
I had a great conversation and his approach to COVID
and what happened afterwards in the in the fact that
there were these shutdowns and managed. He was extremely you know,
emotional about that, just like we were, you know, And
so I said to him, heck with you know, talking
to you about political stuff, I'd love to talk to
you about health and wellness. So it was a great conversation.
(02:09):
I encourage people to go listen to the podcast.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Yeah, go to story restore Wanness dot org and if
you've got a link to Spotify, that's where it is,
so you can get it multiple different ways wherever you
find your podcast. That's it, all right, Well, today we're
not going to talk about food so much or exercise
so much. We've been on those topics before. But something
that I know a lot of people, including I deal
with stress.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
I mean it's.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
It's easily the biggest thing beyond nutrition and exercise. Nutrition
and exercise are your biggest levers, right, I mean, what
goes into your body and what you do with it.
But after that, the next biggest is stress. And you know,
there are multiple kinds of stress, especially in today's world.
You got the stress of you know, what's going on
with the water, the air, the weather this week, you
(02:54):
know with the huge you know, temperature spikes and the humidity,
so that all puts pressure on your body and has
side effects that are not exactly healthy.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Well, and I think it's stressed though, I mean I
think more long lines of cognitive stress. That means I
am stressed out by what I do for a living. Well,
you just showed me the stack of stuff you got
to read. It's like holy cavi.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You know.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And trust me, in that ream of paper that I
just showed you, there's not a whole lot of good news.
And so that's what I mean, that's where the clicks
come from. That's what people are interested in. You know,
Oh my god, what's going to happen? Oh my god?
What it's Usually it's something terrible. And you know, from
my perspective, I get stressed out over government action and
intrusions into my civil liberties and where they're spending money,
(03:38):
and the fact that my own labor is being used
against me in so many ways. And I mean, this
festers in the back of my mind twenty four to seven.
I can't do a damn thing about it except try
to raise awareness and get people to pursue a different
political path or make a different choice when it comes
to that kind of thing, you know. But it's like
a heavy weight, you know, And the fact that I
(03:58):
cannot avoid it. I'm not by by by virtue of
what I do for a living. I'm forced to pay attention.
I can't take a break.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Well, just the fact that you've talked about it for
two minutes now means it's really front of mind, and
is cause it always it always it has got to
be causing, you know, the mental stress. And I always
think of it in terms of the prayer that the
alcoholics anonymous, you know, teach me to know what I
can change and what I right. Solimity if it's almost
(04:28):
like living in the moment, you know, the hell, if
we can all just live in the moment, we wouldn't
be thinking about extraneous things. We'd be dealing with what's
in front of us and what we're dealing with at
that moment in time. So it's one thing. It's like
telling somebody to snap out of depression. I'll you got
all this going for you, just snap out of it.
And everybody who knows anything about depression knows it is
not that simple. It is so much more complex than that.
(04:51):
So I can tell myself, God, Brian, could just snap.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Out of it.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Why are you letting this bother you? You have no
control over it. But then I find myself sitting at
my house on my laptop four hours a day or
whatever and doing this for four hours on the radio,
and I'm just surrounded by it, so it's it's at
the forefront of my mind, so stress driven by jobs.
I have a doctor friend of mine, it's actually one
(05:15):
of my best friends, the godfather of my daughter. In fact,
he's a surgeon, and I think about him because you
don't walk away from that. He's doing operations. Lives are
in his hands. You just don't go at home at
night and turn that crap off. I don't know how
you could. How you could, you know?
Speaker 5 (05:30):
I think it's it's one of those things that you know,
life is what we make it. And unfortunately, when we're
put here on this earth to live a life, we
have a choice. We can stay wound up or we
can enjoy it and listening to the birds and the
bees kind of case scenario. But the question is is
how do you balance that? How do you catch yourself
in a downward spiral being cognitive and learning to say, hey,
I can take this time in my life to down
(05:52):
regulate and to really take in and enjoy what life
is meant to be for us, or I can live
the busy life, the city life, to whatever life. And
I think trying to balance that's the hard part. More importantly,
what is our brain doing in patterns? How are we
thinking in patterns? Because we're always gonna think because our
pattern teaches us to think that way. So learning to
break that pattern and say, you know what, life is short,
(06:13):
we should be grateful and it's in one person will
say it's it's very hard to be grateful and anxious
at the same time. So how many times during the
day do we spend going what am I grateful for?
What are the things in my life that I that
doesn't stress me out?
Speaker 2 (06:28):
And do they? Are they real? Exactly? They are real.
But the situation that's.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
Going on in another country is also real, but it
can't impact me. But the things that in my life
that can impact me or right in front of me,
and am I grateful for those?
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Walking through a thoughtful analysis in order to shift the
focus of your attention.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Right, Well, it's in your head and truly stresses in
your head, but it definitely has physical side effects because
when you're stressed, you can tell your blood pressure is
going up. Great's going up. That can't be good for
long term health. And like you just mentioned, how to
how did I get into the wellness? Well that was
part of it. I mean stressing over the political situation
(07:05):
or stressing over you know, what's going on in the
engineering world. You gotta at some point say what can
I do to make that not hurt me so much?
Or are there alternative ways of doing it? So I
think there's a lot of implications with stress, both mental
and physical stress that get your body worked up, which
(07:27):
means you can't be healthy. I mean, you've got to
get the the body to be open to the idea
of you know, I got to relax, and when I relax,
my heart rate goes down, my blood pressure goes down,
and I've got to be able to identify, hey, I
can't do anything about this. I gotta let go. I
have to let it go. But it is tough, especially
(07:47):
if your job focuses around talking about it all the time.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
Well, you know, the area lines a challenge and you know,
plus plus four hours of time I got to fill in.
I mean, it's just like being on stage and you're
being lord or performing or actually try not to call
it performance because that suggests that I'm not being real.
But you at least have to be aware about the
(08:10):
facts and the information about the topics that people want
to talk about so they don't sound like a complete
idiot every day. Not to me, that's a stress. So
I mean, there are things you can do.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You can in your case, you're getting the news out there,
You're helping influence people to change things. You can write articles,
even if you don't send it to somebody, write a
letter to the editor, and just get your thoughts down
on paper. That's an easy way to work. That sounds
a way to generate more stress. Find I find it.
It's sometimes it's easy to break it down. And let's
(08:41):
take a look at stress. So obviously we have work stress,
we have thought stress. But let's look at the things
that maybe we can control. For instance, you know your diet.
Speaker 5 (08:49):
What things are you putting into your diet and your
body that could be increasing your stress as far as
inflammatory stress. Right, your hydration, same thing, are you drinking enough?
Is your brain calm because you're well hydrated?
Speaker 2 (09:01):
What about sleep?
Speaker 5 (09:02):
Sleep's a fantastic way to get restorative sleep, but if
you don't get enough, you're going to have a stress cycle.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
And I know we're going to have a conversation about
sleep too. And I think I got I got a point.
I want to make that I solve my getting to
sleep difficulties brought about by stress, the thoughts going through
your head, the things that everybody kind of experience. You know,
people experience all the time. You lay down at night
and all this like what did I do today? What
did I say? I wish I hadn't said that, and
then you think about, well, all the things you got
(09:29):
to do tomorrow. That kind of that. That's a form
of mental stress. But it also impacts the sleep, which
is a terrible thing as well. We'll get some of
the information on what lack of sleep and bad sleeps
patterns can do to you. Stick around more with George

Speaker 1 (11:37):
Station JISHI seven twenty if you bout pircde talkstation Restore
Wellness dot org with George Renaman and Keith enfl talking
health and talking stress. And I to pass along one
of the mechanisms to manage stress for me. And I
like telling people this because I know how many people
struggle to go to sleep. And we're gonna talk about
the importance of sleep here this morning with these guys.
(11:59):
But you know, very very long period of time where
I had problems going to sleep. You know, you're thinking
about all the stuff that you said, Oh my god,
you know, and it's racing through your mind that I
embarrass myself. Whatever things that you did, activities you went
through during the day, and then you think about tomorrow
and what you got to do tomorrow, and oh my god,
I got that thing coming up at the end of
the week. And why when you are laying in bed
(12:22):
and getting ready to go to sleep and doing something
for your body that's so important, that is getting a
good night's ress, why are we thinking about that kind
of thing. So I always start out if I feel
and I've gotten to the point where I have no
problem at all going to sleep anymore, because I've been
doing this for so many years. First off, it's the
worst possible talk. You're not going to be doing anything.
You're going to sleep, You're going to be laying in
(12:43):
bed think about stress, right because you can't unring the
bell of what happened, and you can't accomplish anything while
you're laying in bed trying to go to sleep. So
all those activities may be on your plate, but now
is not the time to think about them. So try
to start with that. And then what I always do
is engage in the sort of meditative process. I close
my eyes and I put myself in this peaceful tranquil
(13:06):
and I use a forest and you know you mentioned
off air a beach in Hawaii, wherever uncovered by anything.
You're alone and you're just peacefully walking and you know,
you don't necessarily have any place to go. But what
I'm focusing on is this fictitious mental walk, meaning I'm
not focusing on the clutter. So it's a form of meditation.
(13:28):
You are consciously engaging in a thought process, unlike meditation,
which is clearing your mind of everything. And that's almost
impossible for a guy like me to accomplish my you know,
the seven squirrels running around in my brain. But by
engaging in this meditative process to the exclusion of the clutter,
you know what, I never get to where I'm going.
I always end up falling asleep. And it's almost second
(13:49):
nature to me now and it really truly works. So
maybe something that my listeners can try if they struggle
to get to sleep.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
And it's a it's a mental process.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I think the key thing was stressed during the day,
and like you say, nine times, the worst time to
be talking about stress because you got to get to sleep.
But during the day, you know, it does have that
side effect on your body. And can you go through
some of the you know, what is it that happens
to cause chronic illness because of stress.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
There's this really cool term called inflame aging. Wi's basically
chronic inflammation that increases aging oxidative stress, which is as
free radical. It gets tossed out in your body from
just normal daily activities, and then you increase that because
the cortisol production. Next to cortisol is a side effect
of stress exactly. And it's you know, it's your fight
or flight chemical, right, it's to get me out of
(14:36):
this danger situation. Yeah, and what really that we don't
need that. We're not in danger. You know, right at
the top of the food chain, everything's pretty comfortable. But
for some reason we keep on building this court is all.
And you add that to our environmental problems such as
you know, bad air, bad water, you know, small everything else,
heavy metals, and now our mitochondria are getting their butt
kicked and we have to do something about that. We
(14:57):
have to clear that oxidative stress. And so there's any
different ways to clear oxidator stress. Ironically, it's your antioxidant's
your healthy blueberries and your veratrols and your NAC and
there's a whole list of them. You just google, you know,
the top five antioxidants and get to work. SANA is
another fantastic way to get oxidative stress out of your body,
but to get more onto the damaging of it. It
(15:18):
can actually cause epigenic changes. Your genetics can get changed,
and there's your cancer potential, your cancer risks. Not to mention,
your teleomers get shortened, which filmers are DNA exactly your
DNA and that helps you rebuild all your new cells.
And so what are things like? Meditation is a great
way to lengthen your telemers. Deep breathing great way to
lengthen it. Antioxidation lengthen your teleomers, and that's kind of
(15:40):
the goal when you're trying to do you're trying to
reverse inflammaging, inflammating.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
I hadn't heard that.
Speaker 3 (15:46):
When I send it to me, I'm like, what the
heck you misspelled inflammation? That's common. Inflammating makes sense. I mean,
it's easily one of the bigger problems inflammation, especially with
you know what's happening with the food supply and some
of the crazy stuff they're winker process foods increases inflammation.
Speaker 5 (16:02):
Right, and you see that in your joints, You see
that in your anxiety. Anxiety can be a sign that
you have neuro inflammation. You know, neuroinflammation is a very
real deal. And so if you're feeling anxious or feeling depressed,
your brain's just not thinking, right, it's probably inflammation. So
what you're saying is it is a a you're influenced
(16:23):
by your environment. Of course, the pollutants, toxins, et cetera
that we regularly encounter.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
The environment. Of course, what we put in our body
literally has an impact on this. And then of course
our cognitive state and how we cope or not cope
as the case maybe with the mental stress.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Right.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
And that's a good thing is that if we can
improve that inflammation in our brain, maybe we can cope
better as well. So taking in less inflammatory foods, better water,
and staying away from you know, environmental toxins can possibly
give us that cerebral benefit where we can cope with
stress a lot easier.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
It's like everything in mother nature, it's like it's all intertwined.
We said we didn't want to talk about nutrition in
the exercise today, but right, because welcome to holistic meta stress.
Speaker 1 (17:04):
You got exactly, it's all linked. That's the end of
the point that needs to be made. All right, we'll

Speaker 2 (18:33):
Time for traffic.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
Or not?
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Just Trekker, Go check on Chuck, see if he's all right.
Keith Enfel, George Brenneman Studio, Restore Wellness dot organs where
you find them online and see the information they have there.
We're talking health and wellness generally speaking. Today's topics generally
around stress both physical and men toll uh and sleep
as well, and they're all connected and I, as George
(19:07):
put it out, the outset. I said, we wouldn't be
talking so much about diet, but that it's related. Holistic
medicine involves looking at all aspects of one's life, the
environmental component, the health are, the mental component, what you're
eating component, and then also mechanisms to change, for example,
(19:27):
your diet to deal with things like stress. You mentioned
getting these free radicals and your DNA in line and
all that, and that's directly related to what you eat.
Are there certain foods out there in the world that
cause the stress?
Speaker 2 (19:43):
Yeah, a lot. Actually there's you know, anything as the preservatives.
Speaker 5 (19:46):
If you go to your Chinese restaurant and you get
to you know this MMSG, that's a neurotoxin to believe
it or not.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
I thought they got rid of most of that because
MSG kind of everybody's radar. I think back in the
eighties and you could ask for no MSG, and then
they started advertising at Chinese residents. We don't use MSG,
but they still if you look on an ingredient list
for some reason, they're allowed to call it natural flavor.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Right, Oh, is that what that? So when you see
something as natural flavor, that's usually MSG.
Speaker 5 (20:13):
So you know, this goes back to our previous conversation,
but sugar is probably the one of the most highly
inflammatory things that you can do increasing your oxidative stress. Whereas,
like my father in law just reminded me, turmeric, especially
turmeric paste the recipe online can do the exact opposite.
It's great anti inflammatory. So there's a lot of things.
One of the supplements I take, it's a great one,
and also talked about telemre length tumoric can help out
(20:35):
with that too. And so to get back into that
diet piece, for instance, you would think exercise, all exercise
has got to be great for quartisol reduction, Well not necessarily.
If you're under like a high mileage like your five
k R, ten k or thirty k people's they're actually
producing a lot of quartisol. Their body gets into kind
of all the miss a shock state, and that can
(20:55):
be if you're someone who's trying to reduce cortisol or
someone who's trying to prove their inflammation. You might not
want to be that type of athlete. Whereas if you
run for three minutes and walk for three minutes and
you do that for an hour, you stay in zone
two and three, and that's actually very good for oxidative stress.
He gets rid of that oxidative stress. So it's a balance.
(21:16):
It's all in the balance, right, And you also mentioned
some other aspects at about diet. You know, I think
the thing is is fasting. Sometimes we eat just too much.
We're putting too much stress on our body because we're
always digestify.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
All right.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
I hear fasting is great for you all the time,
But then I read there are different types of fasting,
and I've seen some people are insane, people just drinking
water exclusively for really long time. I mean, I'm like,
there's no way in hell I could deal with that.
But then again, I've also read that just not eating
for twelve hours a form of fasting. And that's pretty
(21:53):
much my life. I don't need anything after say six pm,
and here my breakfast. My bana has been laying here,
and I've been up since two thirty this morning. It's
already seven thirty, so it's been my gosh, it's been
more than twelve hours, been thirteen hours since I've eaten anything.
So that's a fast, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (22:10):
Right.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
It's kind of like churning butter.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
You know, the longer you do it, you get a
different product, and so if you're looking for just general
fasting and gut like rest, yeah, twelve hour twenty four
hours are kind of where you're going. If you want
to start losing weight, that doesn't start happening until about
forty eight seventy two hours. And if you want to
start building stem cells, which help rebuild your body and
actually repair itself in unique ways, you're looking at ninety
(22:32):
six hours or more.
Speaker 2 (22:33):
It keeps memohing me for a ninety six hour. I
haven't done it yet. I did do forty eight. I
did do forty eight, and it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
First of all, you look great because you start losing
a lot of weight. Oh yeah, but it's almost like
at that point you find wherever your weakness is. So
my weakness tends to be headaches. So I'll start to
get a headaches after that. But I got to try
it at least once because the benefits are supposedly enormous,
and you're seeing it all over on X in the
wellness feeds.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
I see a lot of way about the ninety six hour.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Yeah, if you pay any attention to the general area
we are talking about here in this during this hour,
you're going to run into a lot of information on
fasting well.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
And for for starters.
Speaker 3 (23:13):
The whole breakfast thing was started because you know, in
the United States, we didn't eat breakfast. If you ate
breakfast whenever was left over the night before. Listen, I
got a lot of relatives that were farmers.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
And you know, back in the day, and you ate
a huge breakfast in the morning because you were outdoors
the rest of the day.
Speaker 3 (23:30):
But once the industrial revolution hit, it's like, you know,
what do you need to eat breakfast for we when
I sit down?
Speaker 5 (23:36):
For now we're just sitting down a lot. But you know,
eating fasting was is more important now than it probably
ever has been because back in the day we are
highly physical, highly motivated, highly burning calories.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
That's a good point.
Speaker 5 (23:47):
And now we're sitting down, So whoa, our calorie intake
needs to come down because we're not burning this calory.
Speaker 1 (23:53):
I see that that that's a straight arrow, direct line
reality with it. It's we live a much more sedentary life.
Speaker 5 (24:00):
Why it's more important to spend at least one or
two hours WHOA, that's a lot doing some physical activity.
I mean, you really need to get your butt moving
or is you're going to be in big trouble.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
Well, all right, we're learning a lot from George and Keith.
Today we're going to focus a little bit more on
sleep coming up. Got a couple more segments to deal
with the folks, and maybe we can learned something about
maybe how bad it is that we don't get good
night's sleeve and some help and getting us in the
direction of getting some good night's sleep. Stress and sleep

Talking health with Georgia Keith George running with Keith Tennefeld
at It's Restore Wellness Dot orgs Rey Final online, and
we're talking about stress. We didn't dwell much on physical stress.
I know I've heard the discussion off of mental stress,
(27:41):
primarily because at least something I have a connection too.
But sleep also has a profound impact on our on
our lives and our health as well. From what I understand.
What we'll talk about the amount of sleep we need.
People I have struggled with challenges of getting a complete
(28:02):
full night's sleep. But what are the downside health risks
for not having sufficient sleep?
Speaker 2 (28:10):
Well.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
We did a podcast with Jimbocollins a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
I encourage you to listen.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
He's a bodybuilder, you know, a personal trainer kind of guy,
and I found it I had not heard this before
that sleep is where you build your muscle back it's right.
Speaker 2 (28:25):
It's the restorative part.
Speaker 5 (28:26):
Like you go to the gym, you tear down your muscles,
and sleep is where you build them.
Speaker 3 (28:31):
I had never heard that before, and I thought, that's
just another reason why, you know, sleep's got to be
at the near the top of the list of things
you can.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Do for your health. You know, we spend one third
of our life asleep. That's a lot, and so if
we don't make one third of our life a priority,
then we're doing something really really wrong. And it's amazing
where people like you said, you're busy or up on
your phone doing all this stuff late at night and
you're trying to rob yourself of this sleep because you
need more time during the day, but you're doing nothing
but harm at that point in time.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Well know, going back to my sleep, get the sleep
trick that I mentioned earlier, there's no way you can
accomplish that if you have a damn cell phone over
there that's actually going off. I don't understand how anybody
can live their lives with a cell phone laying next
to on another nightstand. And you know, I'm your George.
(29:21):
You aren't disturbed in your sleep routine by that thing
going off?
Speaker 2 (29:24):
I mean it doesn't go off.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
I I finally figured out how to turn it off
between certain hours. But that is off and not bothering
your Do you wake up in the middle of the
night and feel compelled to look over to see if
you got any text messages?
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Do?
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Fortunately, George metaphorically slap you from across.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I'll do it on this that nerd, right, So I've
been in nerds just before they called us that I
had the bag phone.
Speaker 2 (29:49):
Then I had the huge thing that barely fitted your pocket.
I was the first guy to have.
Speaker 3 (29:56):
I still have a puppet engineer.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
But you don't have any pockets today.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
But you do read my white fould saw me on
on this all the time that you know, you read
about the blue light filters and the fact that you
shouldn't be watching your screen before you go to bed.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
I just can't stop.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
So this side of it's a sign of addiction. You say, you,
of all people, know it's bad for you. You know
it's disruptive to something so vitally important. It's Keith pointing
out sleep, and yet you don't do something as simple
as just turning it off and not looking at it.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
No, it's the middle of the night. This is why
I turned mine off. You know, I grew up in
an era where I we didn't have phone calls at night,
even though you could make Oh yes, my dad went
to sleep early and he didn't want to be disturbed.
He wasn't going to take a phone call the middle
of the night, so you just waited till the next day.
So if I wake up I got a voicemail my
cell phone, I'll deal with the time. Yeah, I normally don't.
(30:51):
I get maybe half a dozen or a dozen texts
that I wake up to. Those didn't need to be
addressed overnight. There's nothing emergent coming in on my phone,
So screw it, turn it off, lay it down, George,
that's your assignment. Ye, Then an example for the people
you are trying to help out with their wellness. So
if you want to live longer, sleep more. Ironically, that's
that's a life expectancy hack number two. Everybody probably struggles
(31:15):
with sleep to some degree. If you are finding that
in a classic question, I ask in my practices.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
Do you snore? Or if there's a couple there, does
he or she snore?
Speaker 5 (31:24):
And the answer is yes, you need to get that
checked out because obstructive sleep apnea, being basically being choked
one third of your day is a horrible thing and
that needs to be resolved. I can cause all kinds
of cardiovascular, cause chf, cause all other crazy problems. I
got some tips to help you sleep here in a minute.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Great, Well, let's we'll hear from the guys on the tips,
and I'm looking forward to hearing them. I did a
sleep avenuea test hit sleep apnea, and it was just awful.
That you're drowning essentially, you're being in It can really
cause like a panic attack during the day because it's
it wakes literally wakes you up. Unfortunately for me, I
(32:04):
just am loathed the concept of getting a seapap machine.
I got a custom orthotic from doctor Fred Pack which
pushes my jaw out. It's reasonably comfortable. I'm awaring it
for years and it works ninety percent of the time.
My wife will occasionally say you were snoring, but for
the most part just kicking me and making me roll over.
Speaker 5 (32:21):
If you're overweight and you snore, that's a problem. If
you get that snoring fixed, you can lose weight easier.
Speaker 1 (32:27):
Well, I don't consider myself overweight, and yet I still
have the apnea issue, so go ahead and figure that
one out. We'll continue to get some tips from George
and Keith at seven forty five. Right now, and let
me strongly encourage you. Obviously, the heat is on and
you could be feeling far more comfortable and save a
lot of money in your energy bill fighting that uphill
heat battle with your AC system. But just by getting
(32:50):
USA insulation, you may need it, you may not. That's
why they do a free inspection in free quote for
folks with old homes that don't have any insulation in
the exterior. Well, yeah, you need it if you have
an older home. My daughter's is a great illustration that
was built late seventies, had think R twelve in it
that ain't R twelve. After that many years, it's reduced
its effectiveness and it's never it wasn't sufficient at all.
(33:12):
Modern insulation, USA's premium foam, highest R value on the market,
got that injected into the xterior walls along with that
old insulation. They are uber comfortable, and of course the
savings are going to be obvious to them. Only ninety
nine dollars a month interest free probably pay for itself,
depending on your current energy bills, so you will save money,
the product will pay for itself, and you will be
eligible for a twelve hundred dollars energy tax credit next
(33:35):
year when you're doing your taxes. Five one three three

Seven fifteen fifty five kr Cdcox Station Our Power with
George Venaman and Keith Enfield again Restore Wellness dot org,
providing some value information and pointing out the obvious importance
of dealing with and managing stress, both physical and mental,
and the implications within your body on what stress can do.
And then we're also focusing on sleep, and I know,
(35:21):
Keith you you wanted to pass along some helpful hints
and mechanisms for my listeners to help get them that
good night's sleep.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
That's right, you know.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Obviously routine is the most important part where you say, Okay,
at this time, I'm getting going to bed, and I'm
only going to go to bed. You know, the bed
is designed for a couple purposes. One of them is
not to sit up and watch TV and stay on
your cellphone.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
Right, it's the other purpose that I prefer. But you
know that can help you sleep too.
Speaker 5 (35:47):
Oh yeah, specially if done properly, right exactly, And we'll
talk about that in the next segment.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Anyway, So a couple of good supplements.
Speaker 5 (35:56):
L theanine lthanine is a very good stress doucer and
helps you sleep one hundred to two hundred milligrams about
an hour before bed. Magnesium theorinate or three or in
eight is it what they sometimes will say, one to
two grams an hour before bed. Obviously, the whole camomal
tea is another good thing that you can do. You
and Brian brought up a great idea of guided imagery.
(36:17):
That's a very fantastic thing to do.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
My meditative walk in the woods thing. Very good, very good.
Speaker 3 (36:22):
That has a name guided imagery. No, no, you invented
itt of it. I just termed it. I just put
put a name to it. Made me feel sophisticated. Sometimes
people really need to burn muscle tension. Uh, they feel
like they're just tight.
Speaker 5 (36:37):
So stretching and or doing a couple of rounds of
some hit exercises.
Speaker 2 (36:41):
You know.
Speaker 5 (36:41):
Sometimes that's say, exercises actually can wake you up, but
it actually can also exhaust you too. So if you
want to do a bunch of push ups or stretches
that help just lengthen everything.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
Yeah, I will occasionally, usually on an as needed basis,
because I used to I really used to be big
into yoga. I'll do some yoga stretches and twists, and
that really helps me get comfortable to fall asleep.
Speaker 5 (37:04):
Another good bio hack is if you're if you're a
person who takes a shower at night and this is
strange warm shower, hot shower, and then switch it to
cold for thirty seconds to a minute, and it's in
that state that produces this great way to relax and
go to sleep.
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Really yep.
Speaker 5 (37:21):
Uh Gary Becker talks about that one. And then last
but not least, kind of having a brain fart here, it's.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Uh oh, what was it? Not a great time to
go to a break? Uh? Boy?
Speaker 5 (37:37):
Anyway, so let's just try to make My goal overall
is to make sleep a priority. If it's one third
of your life, you need to make it a priority
if you need to get a sleeping medication because you've
tried everything. You've tried melatone, you tried magnesi, you tried
these these records.
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Meltone was when I was trying to come up with
because you didn't mention that specifically.
Speaker 5 (37:53):
I'm not a fan of melatonin because of the way
way to interrupt your chronic serotonin production, and I'd like
to try that To do that naturally, it's usually gut health.
You get on a good circadian rhythm, you wake up
with the sun, you try to go to bed roughly
around sunset, your circadian get rhythm gets reset, and your
serotonin levels are usually fine.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Melatonin hacks that.
Speaker 5 (38:11):
So I try to stay away from that, but you
might want to talk to your provider about a you know,
another alternative if nothing else is getting you to sleep.
And there's a lot of medications out there that have
been around for a while that work very very well,
and then there's some new ones too. Zach acts right.
There's that, there's transit do own, there's ambience. I'm not
trying to be a promoter of pharmaceuticals, but because sleep
(38:33):
is so important, and if you've tried everything. Sometimes you
just need to do that because it's important to you.
Speaker 1 (38:39):
Okay, I guess they're monitoring and controlling the prescription drugs
along those lines so much more than they used to because,
of course all the problems we've got with over prescribing
and people getting addicted. So the idea of getting xanax
from your provider, that may be a short term kind
of thing from the provider's perspective.
Speaker 3 (38:57):
Now, well, the beauty is to look all at all
of these you're trying to get us so that your
body naturally will do the inflammation control or to be
muscle smory jack exactly like muscle memory. Everything we're talking
about for the most part. You know, when you start
talking about meds or specific supplements, the idea is to
(39:18):
try and find a more natural way to get those
to happen instead of having to you know, go out
there and artificially introduce them.
Speaker 2 (39:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
I just the whole concept of having to be reliant
on a pharmaceutical company, even if it's providing you with
great benefits, even if there's no downside risk. If you
need a prescription, you're kind of stuck.
Speaker 2 (39:36):
Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 5 (39:37):
Oh that's what I was going to say, is hormones,
especially if females postmenopausal perimenopausal progesterone levels, this can be
very very important to help you balance sleep well.
Speaker 2 (39:48):
I was gonna mention, Yeah, I used to do commercials for.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Uh sorry, see I couldn't wait any longer to apologies
for that. That should never happen on the radio, Brian.
But I used to do commercials for a center that
did hormone bioidentical hormone replacements, and man, I had all
kinds of people tell me how wonderful the outcome was
(40:10):
with that. Yeah, going back to the multiple reasons for
the bad Yeah, and just general overall wellness and feeling
of greater energy and more balance and things in life. So,
if your hormones are out of whack, it can be
dealt with, yep.
Speaker 5 (40:25):
And it can actually change a person's personality if your
hormones are out of whack to the point where not
only are you losing sleep, but you're you're somebody else.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Yeah, strange. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
I had a friend who had struggled with weight loss.
He went in and had his hormone level checked. Zero testosterone.
His body didn't produce it, And that's that's the main
reason he wasn't able to lose weight as as much
as he tried and as often as he worked out,
went on the hormone replacement therapy and it worked miracles
for him. Keith George, it's always a pleasure. Restore Wellness
