Speaker 1 (00:01):
Okay, little food for you. So life. Oh it's pretty Bay,
it's pretty beautiful thing that a little moth you're kicking with?
(00:30):
Four Brown. Pretty pumped about today's episode because I have
two guests on. Both their names start with a B.
I got Bianca and I got Bobo. So Bianca all
Tough is my first guest, and she is awesome. If
you know who she is, you know what I'm talking about.
She's amazing. She's a great speaker. I saw her speak
a few years ago at IF gathering in Austin and
(00:50):
instantly fell in love with her. And she has a
book coming out. I mean, she d m me on
Instagram about sending me a book. I immediately responded, do
you want to come on my podcast? Because I feel
to someone I wanted on my podcast, But when someone
has something out to promote, it's easier to get them,
especially when people are really busy. So boom, I have
Bianca on, and if if you don't know her, you're
(01:11):
gonna you're gonna love her, and hopefully you'll want to
pre order her book that's now available, because I'm going
to start reading it. Maybe it's something we can all
read together. That's a thing that's come up a lot
is a four Things book club. I just I mean,
if audiobook counts, then I'm in. I just need more
(01:31):
time to be able to sit down and read. My
life used to be very different before I worked as
much as I do and before I had two kids,
and I don't know just it definitely changes. And I
know a lot of you are in the same boat.
But I think we need to be encouraging each other
to take time to read. So maybe we start with
Bianca's book and just get after it. Uh. The second
thing we're going to get into today is promo codes
(01:53):
on websites and how you can save money because I
feel like I am not or I haven't been in
the past very good at all a seeking out if
there's a code for a place that I'm shopping, and
always ask you for a promo code when you're checking out,
and if you're in the know, then you know the code.
But if you if you don't know, then you're like, well, shoot,
I don't know the code. Well, I think I figured
out a way to always know the codes if there's
(02:14):
a code, but I also am new to it and
I don't know if it's Russia hacking me, but I'm
sure it's legit because I've been trying it out for
a few weeks. It seems legit. So I want to
help you out with that. And then we talk about
to how we've got our teacher for things to and
for the first time ever, we have promo codes for that,
so that's something fun. My third thing is Bobo and
(02:37):
he is awesome. He's come on my podcast before. He
has a lot of knowledge about the body and health
and how it all functions. He's a nurse esthetician, which
is like a nesthetis, but now he has the an
ivy business here in Nashville, but he travels all over
the country for his clients, and it's just very into
(02:59):
the body and how it functions and how we can
be the healthiest version of ourselves. So I set up
a little Q and A with Bobo, and I asked
you allison questions, and thank you to those of you
that sent them in. I wish we could get to
all of them. Unfortunately, we just had to pick a
few that we're going to get into today. So we
will finally tackle our Bobo Q and A and maybe
he'll just be a regular for that we'll call it
(03:21):
Q and A with Bobo in the four Things podcast,
but he's the third thing. And then the fourth thing
is vacations. I don't know if you'll have heard, but
vacation shaming is a real thing and it just really
irritated me when I read the story about vacation shaming.
And then while I was researching vacation shaming, I came
across this crazy website that now plans vacations for you
(03:44):
and how they do it is totally nuts, but I
think I'm into it and I want to ask my
husband if maybe we can do it because I think
it would be cool. So there you go. That is
what is coming up on this episode, and I hope
you enjoy it. Oh before we get into it, just
a quick little house pink thing that um I want
to cover is the star necklace that I wear all
the time that has three gold stars on it. I
(04:07):
feel like a lot of times I don't want to,
you know, be like a broken record, but I guess
people miss things because I always think it's obvious that
y'all know by now that that's our necklace that we
make it to support Haiti, and it's made here locally
in Nashville. We partnered with able Uh, an awesome company
and women that have transitioned out of homeless lifestyle here
(04:29):
and they're provided economic opportunity locally. They make the necklace
and then it supports Haiti, So it has a local
impact and a global impact. And I just feel like
we've talked about it a lot too, y'all know, but
I've been getting more and more questions about it lately,
I guess because different videos or pictures where I have
it on. So I just want to say, yeah, that's ours,
and I love it. I wear it every day, so
(04:49):
does Mary. Any of my girlfriends that have it, they
pretty much wear it all the time and talk about
how much they love it. So yeah, it's something that
if you're interested in it, you can just check out
go to radio and dot com for all the links
to shop a spaw and shot forward in anything else
you might be curious to see up there. And yeah,
(05:10):
I think that that's it. I just want to address
that one thing. I'm sorry if you already knew that,
but definitely people that don't. Okay, here we go first. Okay,
so this is fun. I have Bianca old tof or
warrez Alf Did I say it right, Bianca? Well done? Amy,
there's a secret Latina in you? Yes, secret? Well I
do grow up in Texas, so okay, it makes all
(05:33):
things make sense. Yes, I'm excited to have you on
I personally you You don't even know this, I don't think,
but I saw you speak at IF gathering a few
years ago and immediately started following you on Instagram because
I thought that you were so cool. Wow. I didn't
know that, but I'm totally honored because I feel like
(05:55):
I've been stopping you and you don't know me, but
maybe you did. Okay. Well, In fun fact about Yanca,
she has a twin sister. And I was at an
event in Austin with Austin Angels, which is a group
that works with foster care children and families. And I'm
at this dinner and this girl walks up and I'm like,
oh my gosh, I know you, Bianca. What up? And
she was like, no, my name is Jasmine. It is
(06:20):
actually like twenty pounds lighter, So in your mind, I'm
actually that Then I love it. Yes, so yeah, our
worlds have sort of collided. But on Instagram we were
you know, I got a d M because you have
a book coming out, and like I love that. Maybe
I came to mind about sending me a book. I
mean I get certain things. A lot of times I
(06:41):
get hit up, but I mean when you hit me up,
I was like excited. I was like, I legit want
this book. It's going to be so good. And then
I immediately before even knowing what your book was about,
I was like, do you want to come on my podcast?
I love it? And it worked out. And then I
got the title of the book, and I was like,
this is gonna be amazing because literally the title is
how to have your Life Not Suck? Yes? Right, yes,
(07:05):
Colling Today, who you want to become tomorrow? Okay? Is
that more that's like than the tagline? Yeah, that's like
this some title okay. So and then I mean that's
that's like a big cell to be like, oh, how
to have your life not suck? But it's like you
actually have to do the work. You have to do
the work today, So if you don't want your life,
it's like tomorrow, right. And so then then I read
some of these questions about it and I answered yes
(07:27):
to all of them, and they went like this, so
if you're listening right now, answer these questions. Do you
ever just want someone to help you figure life out,
to tell you how to win at work? Yes? Do
you ever just want someone to tell you what guys
to stay away from? Yes? What genes to rock your
body shape? Yes? So I mean I feel like this
book is sort of about all the things and will
(07:49):
let you take it away with kind of why you
wrote this book and what you hope people will get
from it. Yeah. Absolutely. So most books, wheel like in
the market place right now, are about one particular topic
and then you have this expert come in and tell
you all the things on this one particular topic. But
what I realized is ten twelve years ago, I'm twenty
(08:12):
five years old, I moved back in with my parents.
It's during graduate school. My mom had brain cancer. I
was desperate and dateless and heartbroken with this guy that
I thought I was gonna marry, and I just literally
felt like all things in life completely sucked, and whether
what they did, I just can find my way out.
I still definately really wanted a community, so definitely wanted
(08:34):
a mentor. And yet those are the very things that
I was afraid of, and so um, I'm ten eleven,
twelve years later, after failing and falling and fighting my
way through, I feel like I met some amazing people
along the way that helped me, uh navigate life and
trauma and um. I have a faith background, and so
(08:56):
a couple of the mentors in my life are alive.
And then there's these two mentors in my life that
are actually dead. And they're two biblical characters out of
a book called Ruth and Ruth and Naomi, and they
dealt with life and love and loss, and right when
it looked like all hope was gone, I walked away
from reading about their lives realizing, if we're not dead,
(09:18):
then God is not done, and we are not too
far gone. We are not too deep in a hole
that we cannot climb ourselves out or step into something new.
And so with all these like learning lessons, it's The
book is broken up into three different sections. The first
one is on dating relationships, the second one, second one
is on states and spirituality, and the third is on
(09:39):
adult ing and growing up. And I took segments of
the life of Ruth and Naomi and applied it to
our lives using my stories and the stories of others
putting it in with practical how choose, and my favorite
part aiming. My favorite part is um, I just covered
therapy later on in life, and I had asked myself,
why did it just be so long to go to therapy?
So and so um. I have a friend, a psychologist
(10:02):
and clinical therapist who weighed in on some critical topics
like great depression, anxiety, Internet talking boundaries, adult thing, and so.
Dr Jeb Gorton also weigh in on the book as well. Okay,
I am super interested in the adulting part. Full disclosure,
I haven't even ready yet. But that's how much of
a fan I am of you is. I'm having you
(10:24):
on before your book is even officially out and before
I've gotten the chance to like really dig in and
read it, because I just I've I've seen your work,
I've seen you speak. I trust what you have to say,
and you make you put everything and in such a
manner that's like it's easy to consume. Like sometimes the
Bible honestly can be hard to translate, like a wait,
(10:45):
what am I supposed to be taken away from this?
But I remember watching you speak at IF gathering, and
you would be up there and you'd be talking about.
I mean, I don't remember exactly what we talked about.
I mean this was years ago, but you were up
there and you were able to put it into real time,
like you would tell this story but then you would
somehow like relate it to Beyonce or something. And absolutely
(11:05):
it was amazing and one and one of my favorite
things to do is like make the Bible come alive.
And I'm I'm dealing with so many millennials connection and
I'm a millenia myself, but like so many people are
like you to understand the Bible boring, And I'm like, now, Bobo,
you boring. You gotta put like the the labor. You
gotta put like the Sabo on it. You know, you
have to read it like a soap opera. And so
(11:26):
my goal is in this book, and not just in
this book, but every time that I communicate the Word
of God, like I wanted to feel like it's applicable
and practical for us today. These are real life people
going through real life struggles, experiencing real left trauma and
finding real life solutions. And I just feel like, hey,
why then the wheel, Let's learn from people who have
failed and faltered so that we can shorten our learning curves.
(11:47):
And so I love that you trust me. I love
that you're into this and I'm so excited to get
the book into your hands. Yeah and so um again adulting, career, staff, relationship, staff,
faith things, and yeah, you're gonna make it. Well. I
feel like it's gonna be something I can't wait to have.
I've got two kids there, twelve and nine, and my
(12:08):
day I know, I've start your Instagram stories. They're like
the cute it that Okay, I just like, come on, well,
thank you, But they do my days of like curling
up with like a book and some coffee and just
you know, having me time. They just have not been
the last year and a half or so. But I mean,
I'm telling you, with yours, I feel like I'm gonna
(12:29):
put it on my calendar and tell my husband, like,
this isn't something I you can consume it. I assume
you're gonna It's gonna be available audio version too, Yes
it is, and I narrate it myself. I love that
because you're so fun to listen to. But I feel like,
I this is going to be a book where I
want to I want to tangibly hold it and have
(12:49):
my little appointment times and my coffee time, and it's
gonna be my me time and I'm gonna curl up
and read it and be able to actually take away
things and apply it to my life. And now all
it's not like a little. Podcasts are so crazy because
people listen to them at different times, Like we're recording this,
but depending on when people are actually you know, consuming it,
(13:10):
could the book would be out. But if you happen
to be listening to this like today, when this podcast
comes out Thursday of August, um people can get the
pre order. Yeah, that's the second part. So two things
on that. One, Amy, you are literally the person I'm
writing this book for because I'm hearing you talk about
(13:31):
this and I'm in a similar season. I have two
step kids, the fifteen and thirteen were busy as in
my climates to church in southern California and in Orange County,
and um, life is bananas. I'm writing books and I'm traveling,
and so I want to make this book like so simple,
so practical, so applicable that you could pick up, you know,
if you have ten minutes you can read a chapter,
or if you have thirty minutes, you can read a
(13:51):
couple of chapters or even a section, and that is
what I'm going after. Like my modern girl just would
love to lose herself in a novel for seven hours.
But you know, unless out killing your children or failing
examine undergrad, I don't think that's like a luxury many
of us have in this season. So I'm so excited
you said that. I hope it's a book that you
get to pull some time away and enjoy. Um. Yes,
(14:11):
And for the listeners who get the book on the
twicet between the twenties, second and thirties, I have like
pre order incentives so they can go on to Amazon, Target, Walmart,
Barnes and Noble Online and if they submit their receipt
to Bianca, oldtof dot Com, Forward Slash not Stuck, they
get gifts totally over a hundred and fifty dollars. So
(14:33):
I do like get seventh session Bable study with videos
and PDFU, a dating assessment, UM, some primable goods and UM,
and also a coupon to some merchandise that's coming out
around the book, all because they pre ordered the book. Okay, awesome,
So a little reason to preorder there, but if you're
listening to this after that window, then just you know,
(14:55):
go to any brick and mortar or anywhere online or
Amazon and order how to have your life not suck?
Because who who who wants their life to suck? Quite honestly,
And some days we just do like live in that.
Do you ever have those days? Beyonca like ah, like
you're just like, uh, you know, we have a great life,
but then we just have those days or some days
we're like okay, we're just either in that moment where
(15:16):
we feel stuck and like things just suck, like absolutely absolutely,
And that's why I love sharing these stories is that
like we are all going to experience UM. In the book,
I listed as capital T trauma and lower case T trauma.
So in psychological terms, you know, capital T trauma is huge,
life altering so that's like a UM, a life altering
car crash. But then there's lower taste T trauma, which
(15:39):
is like a fender mendor. So capital tate trauma is divorced,
it's death, it's bankruptcy. Lower case T trauma is well,
in my case forgetting my makeup bag because I wear
makeup like RuPaul and um or you know, it's like
missing an appointment or a flat tire, and we don't
realize that these macro or microaggressions really can throw us
(16:00):
and cause us the tailspin into maybe a little bit
of anxiety or depression or feeling like the best has
already happened and humiliational waits you. The best is not
behind you if we stay committed, if we put one
foot in front of the other. My daddy always said,
if you are not dead, then God is not done.
And I think that guess what I'm walking through in
this premise, Like I could say, twelve years later, my
(16:21):
life looked really sad and um. I think that not
just faith, but faith and community and honestly invulnerability got
me to a place where I'm able to put language
and nomenclature around what trauma and success and pain and
friendship really look like. In this season, that's awesome. I
love that about the capital T and the lower case T.
(16:42):
I can't wait to dig into more of that, the
different types of trauma. When when I read it, I'm
so glad you came out with the book. And I
love following along. I feel like people are gonna want
to follow you can, you give your Instagram handle and
website and where people can find all things Bianca absolutely
um Instagram, it's at Bianca old Top that's O T
H O F F and um at bianca oltk dot
(17:05):
com where they can find all things, whether it's Bible teachings,
regular teachings, live application, or ways to stay kind. Yes,
and then if you ever have a chance to see
Bianca speak like if you see if she's at a
conference near you or a church near you or whatever,
I highly recommend it. I mean, but also there's the book,
but you do have a way of storytelling with the
(17:25):
Bible and just making us realize, like sometimes when we
are like, oh I don't really know how this applies
to me, or oh yeah, this is kind of like
I don't really get this story, or it's too old
or it's too well, it's it's more like you said,
sometimes people are like it's kind of boring. You're like, no, Like,
I love how passionate you are about it, and you're
so awesome and you're so great at what you do,
and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Amy,
(17:47):
I'm going to put you in my pocket because you
are forever my hype girl, I love you, and that inappropriate,
but I freaking love you, sister. Thank you so much,
and I can't wait for your audience to connect with
the book as well. Awesome, thank you, Bianca. Okay, so
(18:08):
for this thing, I want to talk promo codes when
you're checking out at places. So Mary, I feel like,
is the queen of knowing promo codes. She even though
some websites, which I don't know them off the top
of my head, but some websites always accept tulip, like
if you just randomly type in tulip, you'll get off
or something. And so she's taught me to be more
aware of deals that places have going on. And so
(18:29):
I was like, well, I've got to figure out promo codes.
I was checking out a couple of weeks ago and
I didn't have a promo code. So I decided to
google promo codes for shop bop right now or wherever
I was checking out from, and like, this website called
Honey came up Join Honey dot com, and I thought, well,
if this is a place I can join, they're going
(18:50):
to give me promo codes. And it seemed a little
fishy because I don't want to just give all my information.
I felt for a minute like, is this Russia, and
now they're going to have access to everywhere that I
searched on line and everything that I do. Which, if
that's the case, I guess I'm okay with it now
because Honey has been saving me some money for sure.
Maybe that's where they got the name. Actually, I have
no idea Honey, we'll save you money Honey. That's probably
(19:12):
not it. But the websites join Honey dot com. I
came across it, I signed up for it. I've been
using it for a couple of weeks or maybe even longer.
That way I could test it out to see if
it really worked. And honestly, the first few times I
struck out, places I was going had no deals and
it was really disappointing. And I was like, well, this
is crazy because now I have this Honey thing in
my browser. It's seeing everywhere I go, it's on my computer.
(19:34):
They have access to everything, and now I'm not saving
any money. Well, I did two things this week where
I had to shop for some trips I have coming
up and work stuff, and it found me codes and
saved me off. So I thought, okay, now I'm ready
to share with my people. And speaking of codes, are
four Things to. This is the first time we've ever
done a code for four Things told. It's just popped
(19:56):
in my head, so I want to say it before
I get to the honey thing. But if you are
a teacher and you get the teacher four Things tote,
we actually have two codes that you can use so
you'll save tim per cent. You can either type in
Apple if that's easy for you to remember because you're
a teacher, Apple, or you can type in west Rock,
(20:16):
like the word west Rock one word because it's the
coffee company and they're donating coffee that are going to
go to our teacher totes that we're gonna hopefully give
out to people to get sponsored and we're gonna like
just surprise people with totes filled with goodies. So yeah,
we have a code for the first time for teachers
and the teacher four Things to. It says caffine, educate, sleep, repeat,
(20:38):
so quickly know that and you can go to shop
Spa or the shop Fowar dot com or Radio amy
dot com to access that tope. But cool little thing
there that we've done, so you don't I bet Honey
doesn't have our our Teacher four Things tote code up
on their website. But yeah, I'm scared, but it's definitely
saving me money. So I guests go to join Honey
(21:01):
dot com is what I did, and then you have
to type in your email address. You have to grant
them access, and then every shopping site that you go to,
you'll see this little red dot up in the corner
by this cursive h which is that's the Honey people
watching out for things. And then when you're checking out,
you click the like if you want Honey to search,
(21:22):
and then it'll just kind of do this internet search
for the code and then if it can find one
that applies to you at that moment, boom, it'll implement
it and it'll discount it from your total price. It's
really that easy. So there's my little tip on saving
money while you're shopping saving that money, Honey. Yeah, join
Honey dot com. Mary, is this what you use? I
(21:43):
don't even know. I haven't talked to you about this yet,
so this might be what she uses to get all
her awesome codes. But you should be using codes because
if you have an opportunity to save, why what don't
you and hopefully this works. And if y'all have any
negative reviews or things to say about Honey and that
I should not have downloaded it and that it's Russia,
(22:04):
email me now, please, four things with Amy Brown at
gmail dot com. And but so far, so good, so
I think you can trust me. Okay, Bobo is in
the house, the Bobo Q and a O. It's coming up, bo,
let's go. Okay. So we had y'all submitting questions for Bobo,
(22:27):
which we got a lot. We can't get through them.
So I think we decided we're gonna do like four
to stick with the theme because four things, but we
may throw in a bonus or something. So where where
do you want me to just start? Yeah? You can
just start, okay. So first question it came in, which
if you're curious about Bbo, I know in the intro
I kind of gave who he was, but I said,
(22:50):
it's a nestetist in the in the intro. Yeah, that's right,
that's right, unnest Yeah, like it starts with the age. Yeah,
it's not you're a You're not a nestetist. You're you're
how about this nurse and neesthetist? There it's like an
antentusiologist nurse. Yeah, it's the best way to put it. So.
(23:15):
And bonus of having him here is while we're recording this,
I'm getting an ivy. What kind of what are we
pumping into me right now? From Arite Nashville A R. E.
T E H. Yeah, you're getting the name of Bob's
ivy business. You're getting all kinds of stuff, all kinds
of ottomans, antioxidant, selectuallytes um, minerals. I mean you feel
(23:37):
a little tipsy. You're getting all kind Is that possible?
Like why do I feel like high? It could be
the magnesium. It's kind of like relaxing um, which can
make you feel a little bit like that. Um. Yeah, okay, yeah,
but I'm fine. Okay. So first question is from Miranda,
(23:59):
and she said that she's been seeing ads for like
some water additive called liquid i V. She's seen it
like Costco CBS right, aid. So her question is have
you tried anything like this, Like does it provide you
with the same hydration as two to three bottles of
water with just one packet? Does it boost your energy
(24:19):
and all like increased brain function? Um? And then if
you haven't tried anything like it. Miranda was wondering if
you could, you know, check on it for her. Yeah.
So there's a couple of companies doing this. Now, there's
liquid Ivy, there's a place called another company called drip
drop Um, and I have tried some of these. I
(24:41):
do think they're there. There is something to it. Basically,
what it's doing is giving you some electrolytes and glucose,
and when that goes into your small intestine and you're
absorbing water with it, they actually it actually pulls more
water that you're absorbing. So basically with those electrolytes, you're
(25:01):
bringing in more water. So when you drink a bottle
of water with that in it, you're absorbing more of
that water. I think before we've talked about like normal
absorption of anything you put in your bodies around twenty two.
So all that all that they're additives are basically increasing
the absorption. Problem with that, in my opinion, is that
(25:24):
if you look at the label on those the number
one ingredient actually pulled it up to make sure that
I could see it. It's pure cane sugar. The number
two is dextros, which is just another form of sugar. Um,
My problem with that is that they make a product
that tastes good that gets you a little bit of that,
like sugar how to. And I'm pretty much against any
(25:47):
form of added unnatural sugar. Like you start throwing things
like it his honey or something you'd be better than
sugar cane sugar or yeah, exactly, you're basically adding a product,
uh to appease people. There's another supplement that I actually
just ordered two cases of. It's called Kington Water. It's
(26:08):
qu I and t O N and it's little tin
mL ampules and you use it kind of the same way.
It's just really electro like dense salt water. It's purified
sea water, and it works essentially the same way by
increasing your absorption and retention of water, keeping you more hydrated.
(26:29):
Like I've recommended it to some athletes who deal with
severe cramping and things like that, but it's just purified seawater.
So for like us every day non athletic people, like,
do we need that type of supplement? I don't think necessarily.
You just need to drink more water, right, and water
is free. Like I did your Instagram whenever I did
the whole thing about getting people to send in questions
(26:52):
to you. I read one of your Instagram posts and
it was you were just talking about sleep and water.
People ask me all the time what they can do
for themselves, and guess what, sleep and water both basically free, right.
I mean, you don't just spend like a bunch of
money to get sleep in well, And I think too
we we as society make a conscious effort to make
(27:12):
an excuse to not sleep enough, and make an excuse
to not drink enough water, Like it's twenty steps to
the water fountain. It most schools or workplaces like just
drink more water. You just have to consciously think about it. Um.
But I think that's enough. And these these companies also
make the claim that they're just as good as an
(27:33):
I V. And my response to that is, if you
get shot by a gun on the side of the
road and you support that claim, I'm going to hand
you a drip drop instead of putt an i V
in you. Like that doesn't really make any sense. I
just think it's a sugar You're you're basically flavoring your
(27:54):
water now to make you drink more water. And it does,
it does help you absorb more water. But you're taking
on added unnecessary sugar. That's only unhealthy for you. That's
no boy. Now, okay, got it all right. Next question
is from Kristen. She said, I'm on board now with
how important sleep is in general to function at our best.
(28:15):
I've heard you all talk about the details with quantity
of sleep, but now I want to dive deeper into
the quality. How do we set ourselves up for a
good night's rest? For a regular person, eight hours is recommended,
but should we be allocating more time to include a
certain routine or gear downtime? What are your thoughts on
sleep supplements? Can naps count towards our eight hours? Also?
(28:39):
Does daylight savings affect our sleep? I typically shoot for
like nine pm to five am, but struggle during the
year when the sun set is an eight pm. Sometimes
I think changing my schedule based on the time of
year in dealing with the extra traffic would be worth
feeling better looking forward to learning how we can make
the most of our sleep. So, man, Kristen, the question, Yeah,
(29:01):
you're covering sleep and you're right up something that I
really enjoyed talking about right now. Um, the first part, uh,
she talks about should you create a routine. Yes, we
have a pre work or pre morning routine. You should
have a night routine as well. It's the only way
that you really create structure to your sleep. And with that,
(29:23):
the hour or two before you go to sleep or critical.
And I think people maybe have seen on my Instagram
talk about blue light and its effects on sleep. I
wear within about an hour and a half ago into sleep,
I put on a pair of blue light tinted glasses.
That's that prepped me for bad and also block blue light. UM.
(29:44):
Blue light has been shown to decreased melatonin production by
UM and our most common thing we do at night
because there's not much else to do other than stare
at our phones, stare at TV, stare at the laptop,
and those things only deep crease UM malotonian, which again
helps us go to sleep, promote sleep, stay asleep. So yeah,
(30:06):
I think that that first part of creating a routine
and what you do and how you prep for bed
is definitely good. UM do naps count towards your eight hours? No? Sorry,
I'm sorry about that. They don't. UM the most effective,
I don't want to stay effective. But one of the
(30:27):
best portions of your sleep is the second half of
the night. Most of your highest quality RIM sleep is
in that second half of sleep or second half of
your your night's sleep. So a lot of your recovery,
your your cognition, your um basically your mind filing things away.
(30:48):
If you imagine you go to sleep with a full
desktop full of files, and rim sleep is where you
start creating more condensed files and you start shuffling things
away into long terms term memory. Things you need, things
you don't need. So that second half the night is crucial.
And to basically say I'm gonna get six hours, but
I'll take an hour and a half nap, that doesn't
(31:08):
really equate the same about sleep supplements sleep supplements. The
things I take at night are hundred fifty milligrams of CBD,
and I use a product called sleep Remedy. It has
magnesium and melatonin and some different things in it. It
keeps it puts me to sleep, and I stay asleep.
(31:30):
I get eight plus hours every night. Um about xan X, well,
you know a lot of those things. No, but people
do take a lot of those things. I'm joking, but
sometimes if I really need to sleep, I do want
to honestly know how it's affecting my body in a
negative way. Because after my mom died is the first
time I ever took xan X. I literally cannot sleep,
and my doctor described to me a sleeping pill and
(31:53):
it did not work. And so then he also had
given me zan x but for during the day because
my sister and I were just we were literally it
was towards the end of her life. It wasn't right
when she died, but we were we were her main caregiver,
so it's very hard. So we needed like that chill
out stuff. So he gave a stand x and so
I took one night before sleep and that was it
(32:14):
knocked me out. Was the first great night's sleep that
I had had in weeks, and so I sort of
stayed with it, especially after she died because the anxiety
was real. And um now I've weaned myself off of it.
It's been years now, so I don't I don't rely
on it like I had to at that time, but
it was necessary, so I did it. And you know,
now I don't like putting things in my body unless
(32:36):
I I need to, but I still have some leftover
and if I know I need a good night's sleep,
like I will cut one of those bad boys in
half and I take it and it just feels so
good to sleep, But I just know that's not good
for me. Yeah, I mean those things and the first
time you could talk about they're addictive, and you always
(32:56):
I was always always need more. Like it's not like
you can take that little bit of an X every
night and you're not eventually going to anymore if you're
consistently taking it. And it also alters your your sleep patterns.
You're not getting quantity verse quality you're getting. You it
will help you get the quantity sleep, but your quality
(33:17):
will only be all will be hindered, I guess. So
that's what they say about alcohol two is it may
help you sleep, but your body is not going to
go into the deep sleep. No, you don't sleep as
well because your your body temperature rises throughout the entire
night because your liver is processing all that alcohol. So sure,
if someone has like a glass of wine at night
(33:38):
I have, I wouldn't like argue with that. I mean
I kind of would, but I wouldn't fight it too much.
But if you're drinking at night and you think, oh,
the most I sleep during the weeker on, like Friday,
Saturday nights, go out on the weekends, drink a bunch,
and then sleep nine or ten hours. That sleep you're
getting is pretty bad, bad quality sleep quality. Okay, so
(34:00):
back to supplements. I kind of derailed with the Zanex. No. No,
those are the two things I take. Like my three
things of my sleep routine is about an hour and
a half before I put my blue light tinted glasses.
I mean, just I have blue light glasses and I
need to start doing that because I have them. Why
wouldn't I And I am on my computer and if
people have questions about where to get those, like, I
have like Amazon page that you can find on the
(34:22):
link in my personal bio and I'm just at Adam
Bobo on Instagram And if you click on that and
go to products in there, you can find v blue
light glasses that I wear every night. Yeah and oh yeah,
real cool. You posted videos. But they work and I
get a lot less headaches. People that have headaches, a
lot of those headaches trains can be from blue lights.
(34:43):
So that's another reason that I try to make sure
I'm pretty diligent on those. Cool. Okay, So hopefully that
was there anything else in the sleep thing that we
oh daylight savings. Do you know if that affects our sleep? Um,
the light can, because your body so much of our
sleep and wake pat are driven by light. And I
think that's kind of what she mentioned the late sunset.
(35:04):
I wear a sleep mask, like I wear a masket
to sleep at night, mainly because if any any of
that light can alter your wakepen and I try to
stay out. I mean, so I if if I'm concerned
about light, like I always bring one when I travel,
just in case I can't block all the light of
(35:24):
the room. I try to sleep basically in a semi
coold cave that's curtains that's silent, or a noise machine
if you want something like that to just block out
the random ambiance sounds that come on throughout the throughout
the night. And that's how I sleep, And I feel
really good when I wake up. Like that. You should
(35:46):
wake up from sleep and within twenty minutes, like you
should feel good. You shouldn't be like dragging tired still,
Like if you're still dragging all morning long, then you're
probably getting poor quality sleep, poor quantity asleep one of
the other. Okay, all right, sleep is important and it's free,
and it's free and decreases the risk of type two diabetes,
(36:08):
heart disease, stroke, and I'm a multitude of other things.
So that's my sales pitch on sleep. So get your
sleep on. We talked all the time because people used
to always just think of if I work out, I'm
healthy or whatever, and now the order and they're like
and I kind of eat okay, and then I don't
sleep at all. But really it should be sleep, eat right,
workout right, sleep eat right. Yes, Like sleep is the
(36:31):
most important than what kind of food you're eating should
be the next most important. Working out should be like like,
if you're trying to squeeze in the workout, but it's
going to sacrifice your sleep, you should sleep, which it
used to be like whatever reason I was like, oh
I got to get to the gym because I gotta
get my workout in for the day. But like I
(36:51):
even tell a lot of my NFL athlete clients that
if you're grind is interfering with your sleep, then that
grind it is only to your own your body's detriment.
You're more prone to injury, you're more prone to cognitive dysfunction,
you're more prone to just like have that brain fog.
So if you're grind so to speak, is affecting your sleep,
(37:12):
then it's only long term going to be detrimental to
your performance. And that's even like an athlete. So definitely
me or anybody else would be affected by that as
normal normal folk folk. Okay, um, next question is from
who do we got? Is it from Becky? Okay? What
super foods should I be eating to help reduce inflammation? Specifically,
(37:38):
she references rheumatory arthritists, but I know not every I
don't know if you can answer in that type of detail,
but I know right, Um, there's a lot of superfoods.
They're pretty easy just to like Google search find a
whole bunch of stuff from blueberries to kale, to spinach
to beats to rick. In your body, it needs to
(38:01):
be with black pepper. And that's something a lot of
people don't know. They're like, oh, I'll just sprinkle tumeric
on whatever. But in order for your body to be like, oh,
tumeric to do its job, you gotta have black pepper.
You'll even notice now for a long time I didn't
see it, but now that's becoming more widely known, even
little like tumeric shots that you see the grocery store whatever,
(38:21):
even organic ones that sometimes I'll take just for a
quick throwback. You'll see black pepper is an ingredient. We
don't really taste it, but it's definitely needed. Okay, So
what other I think people fail to forget that most
Americans in the in the vast majority of us, the
highest um antioxidant, the most common or highest antioxidant containing
(38:46):
thing we ingest is coffee. So I do tell people
that you should have a really good, high quality coffee
in your diet. One cup. I'm not gonna sit here
and tell people to drink a whole bunch of coffee. Um,
but I do think having one cup of coffee a
day is actually healthy for us. Just there's so many
antioxidants and and it's so deeply rooted in the vast
(39:10):
majority of people's diets already that just having a high
quality cup of coffee every day is great. Um. I
use key on coffee just so you know what it is.
It's the it's the and the coffee is so good.
I drink it black, But I just put my random
(39:31):
stuff in it that I use. That's not cream and
not sugar, but it's great. UM. Tart cherry juice is
another really good one. I've been seeing that more and
more gaining popularity. I think, I think so. But it's
nutrient dents, it's um, has a lot of antioxidants in it.
It's great for lack of recovery. It's really good for
(39:52):
a lot of different things. But it's a really good
uh and it's low sugar too, so you're getting a
lot of good stuff packed in without a whole bunch
of sugar. So like if I see a tart cherry
powder situation that you mix with water, but I mean
in the ingredients or okay, is that a way to
get it? Or should I be getting it in liquid form?
(40:16):
You can get it that way. I always just tell
people to read that, like read the label, and if
there's a word that you can't pronounce, don't buy it
or try to avoid it. Um. If you can't pronounce it,
it's probably not natural, you know what? And this is
this could be it's definitely not an anti inflammatory food
(40:36):
or additive. But maltadextron is in everything, like even companies
that I trust, and it's like a it makes things
taste better, longer or something, whatever it is, it's I'm
(40:56):
just so disappointed in some companies that I trust, like
really good quality food organic, like all of the other
ingredients are so spot on, and then they freaking have
multidextren added to it, And I'm like why why why why?
Why why why? So that's an additive that I look
out for for sure. The other thing to like in
(41:18):
regards to this, beyond superfoods and talking about rhumatory authritis
and autoimmune disorders or diseases, um, it's really about decreasing
your oxidative stress. So I do tell people to try
like relaxation techniques or breathing techniques or a big one
that's pretty easy to try is meditation. Um. I use
(41:40):
the Headspace app and like, meditation is great for just
a relaxing but also be decreasing that that's that stress
load on your body. We associate, you know, what we
put in our bodies is affecting us. But what we
do and and our physical or mental emotional stress causes
(42:02):
uh a physical response by our bodies that that we
also need to um consider as well. Beyond just you know,
what super foods can you eat, but what else can
you do. Um. Okay, what about another question? Okay, next
one's from Tanya. What helps with chronic fatigue? That's a
(42:26):
pretty big wide net there, Tanya, Um, what helps with
chronic fatigue? Well, going back to something I've already mentioned,
sleep is the first place I would start. I would
look at your quantity of sleep and your quality asleep
and make sure that you're accomplishing those two things. I
didn't go look at your diet and say, you know,
(42:49):
are you eating foods that contain a lot of are
you eating a lot of processed foods, foods, a lot
of weird additives, um, a lot of high sugar type foods,
and then say, well, you probably should come back and
eat more whole foods. More not whole food to the store,
but you know, like vegetables, meats, whatever your diet is,
(43:11):
eat clean, Eat is little or as minimal process foods
as possible. Um. I didn't have any processed food today, Boom.
I got really excited about that when you said that,
because I started think about everything I've consumed today. Because
you and I know this well, Bobo has a friend
that he hooked me up with. It's helping me try
to understand certain nutrients that I need in my body
(43:34):
and certain things that I'm lacking. And while I've never
been someone and you know, if you're listening to this podcast, like,
I don't want to be put pressure on myself to
like eat a certain way, but I do want to
take care of myself, and I don't want to stress
out like, oh I have to get this, this, this,
and this, because it just like I want to be
a little bit more free than that. But I as
(43:55):
much as I'm trying to take care of my body
and working out, I do feel like I owe it
to my self to know like a roundabout figure of
what I should be getting. And like I realized I
was really, really, really lacking in protein, so I've had
to up that game big time. And but it is
making me make sure that I'm eating more whole foods,
(44:17):
which has been great. And so when you said that,
it made me realize, like thinking back on my day,
I had all whole foods, not the grocery store. I've
had zero foods today. Wait, why I fasted today? Why?
And then well, I was gonna eat at some point
and I didn't have time. So I'm just adjusting my
(44:40):
and I didn't work out today. So sometimes when I
don't work out, I don't eat as much. I started
to realize if you don't work out and you don't
exert calories beyond like your basil net abolic right and
your actual day, like we overeat as a society anyway.
So for me, like, I'm kind of hungry, but I'm
not starving. I had my coffee and my stuff I
(45:00):
put in my coffee, but outside of that, I've had
no food at all, and I'm gonna eat when I
leave here. But it's uh, I don't want to say
what time it is on the podcast, but podcast are recorded,
It's fine, it's six o'clock at night, six o'clock at night.
It's no, no, no, I don't want to say what
time it is at night because that's late to not
eat for me. So I will eat when I leave here. Um,
(45:25):
so the other things I take, Uh, there's a supplement
called true Niagen and it's nicotinamide rabbicide And this is
a whole another like rabbit hole to go down. And
I'll try to like talk about this more on my
Instagram and we'll start selling this product on our website
as well. Which what is your website AIRTA Nashville dot com,
(45:48):
a R E t E Nashville dot com. And um,
it basically boost your natural N A D levels against
something that we haven't talked about yet, but ultimately it's
the most potent anti aging longevity molecule that we have
available to us right now. Um. But if you just
look up a search for N A D or n
(46:09):
R or nicotinamide rabbiside true NIGE and there's a rabbit
hole of information you can find pretty readily on the Internet.
And like I said, I'll try to do better to
explain it in the future as well. But that is
something I would look into with your chronic fatigue. Yeah, okay, Um,
(46:30):
well do we have more? Do you have like a bonus?
Was that for? We can have a quick bonus? Okay,
bonus question from Jordan's I got asked this on my Instagram.
It was top four supplements you couldn't live without? If
I was just picking four things, but things in theme. Um,
(46:56):
it's a tough question and could be honest. They ask
for three, we change it. That's for three. But but
here's the thing we changed it for. But I actually
told this individual four things, right because we thought four things,
but I gave this person four things because it's tough
to only name three. It's tough to on the name four.
I take a lot of you take a lot of stuff,
(47:17):
but like you're not saying that's for everybody, it's not
for everybody. It's overwhelming. You're you understand it and you
know what's happening, and so I think that's why you
can do that. But trust me, we're not on here
trying to to overwhelm you by any means. And that's why. Yeah,
keeping it simple with three or four makes sense. And
if you want more information, then you hit bubble up
(47:38):
on the GRAM. Yeah, if you're d M, you slide
them DM single. By the way, I talked about this
every time, slid away single. Look are you still single? Sometimes?
You know, I don't see you for a few weeks.
I don't know still single? So um. The first one
is magnesium. I take my amnesium tree. Nate, I take
(48:01):
magnesium as well. Yes, I think it's crucial for sleep stress.
I mean, it's used in so many body processes and
it's really hard to get too much, and of all,
Americans are poorly deficient in it. So I usually tell
people that's where I start magnesium, like, that's the first
thing on that list, and then I use a combo supplement.
(48:25):
So I'm kind of cheating here with one of mine.
It's a calcium, vitamin D and K two supplement. Most
of my supplements come from only a few places, and
I have loaded all these onto my Amazon page, But
that multi combo supplement. To get adequate absorption of magnesium,
you need calcium, you need vitamin D, and you need
(48:47):
vitamin K two. Otherwise your magnesium you're taking, you're probably
not getting effective utilization or absorption of that magnesium. Yeah,
I'm taking some oxygen aided magnesium max, magnesium oxide, manesium
oxide something like that. Do you get like stomach problems
at all from it? No, I know what you're talking about.
(49:10):
Not that we want to talk about that, but people
are very concerned about magnesium and it's being used to like,
you know, help you go to the bathroom, some magnesium
tree and a th h R E O T N
T and I think I added extra T in there. Um.
It actually is the only formulated uh magnesium supplement that
(49:31):
crosses the blood brain barrier, so which allows the magnesium
to be utilized in your brain as well as in
your body. But either way, those other combinations. And then
a probiotic, really really really good probiotic, especially the way
our diets in America are so highly processed. Processed foods
(49:51):
kill your normal bacteria gut floor. So basically the bacteria
in your gut gets destroyed by processed foods. So I
tell people a really good probiotic um again, I'll talk
about that on my Instagram. And then true Nigen I
mentioned it a minute ago. With uh chronic fatigue, I
(50:14):
take it every day and it's one of the four
that if I was picking four things to take, Magnesium,
a combo supplement of vitamin D, calcium and K two,
A really good probotic, and true Nigen. And those are
the four things that I would recommend that you take
if you can only take four. Okay, Well, hopefully y'all
(50:35):
enjoyed hearing from Bobo. I know you always do. I do.
I appreciate when he takes time to come on and
share with us as you can tell, extremely knowledgeable and
if you're in Nashville you can check out Arete there. Uh,
I mean you're you are a concierge service. But y'all
have an office in the Gulch, which is a really
(50:57):
popular part of town, and and you know, you can
make appointments there and just pop in and there's a
variety of things. But you don't like to market yourself
as because the ivy businesses super gaining more popularity. I
guess it's like a hangover cure. I mean, we'll take
care of that stuff, but we don't market that out there.
(51:20):
Is like, hey, bachelor and bachelortte parties, come on now,
if you come to town, like, we'll definitely take care
of you because those people already hydrated and its medical dehydration.
We will take care of you, but you more times
than not won't see us marketing like that out there.
We're more of a wellness. I love you, I like
your vibe. I like that that's your vibe, and then
(51:43):
arite like there's there's big plans down the line, so
hopefully well, I mean not like good, that's not even
wood for me to knock on knock on wood. But um, yeah, no,
Bobo is great, So make sure you'll give him a
follow on Instagram and um, tell him how much you
enjoyed r Q and a and he will be back. Okay,
(52:13):
we're gonna talk about vacation shaming. Yeah, that's a thing,
Like it's for real. I saw this article that said
that Americans are just not using all their vacation time
and one of the main reasons why is because of
vacation shaming. And that's when coworkers and bosses use peer
pressure and guilt trips to discourage employees from taking time off.
And I just was like, man, that is such a bummer,
(52:36):
Like you should if you have vacation days, you should
absolutely be taking them for like your well being, like
a getaway. Vacations are good for your health, like they
can reduce stress. Actually, right now, I'm going to look
up reasons why vacation ng is good for your health,
and we're going to kind of go over that because
my mind is blown that vacation shaming exists. Like if
(52:59):
you're vacation shameing somebody, then you're anti fun and niceness
and you're all about stress, and then you probably yourself
need to take vacations so you'll chill out on other
people taking vacation. Okay, here right when I google it
for scientific reasons, vacations are good for your health. One
stress reduction to heart disease prevention, probably because you're less dressed.
(53:23):
Three improved productivity, probably because you get to step away
from what you're doing and then you return happier and
more productive. Boom. And then four better sleep. Yeah. It
says that vacations interrupt the habits that disrupt sleep. So yeah,
you're not working late into the night or on your
computer before bed. You're able to just relax and actually
(53:45):
get good sleep. So boom, you should do that. Which
this is another thing that I saw now I'm talking
about about vacations. I gotta tell you about this article
I read about this new company called pack Up and Go.
I think it's pack up and Go dot com. M yeah,
let me go and see that. That's it. Yep, Okay,
it's pack up and Go dot com. How crazy is this?
(54:05):
So this place, this company, they'll play a three day
vacation in the US for any budget. You just have
to list how much you're willing to spend. The only
thing is you don't know where you're going. The destination
is a complete surprise. All you do is fill out
a survey of your likes and dislikes, and then a
week Before you leave, you get an email with a
weather report so that you know how to pack any
(54:27):
luggage restrictions based on your destination and the location of
the airport of the train station that you need to
go to. I mean, if you want to drive, they
say you can road trip it to your mystery location.
But there's been a lot of success, it says so
far they've had unbelievable success and they've even hired more
employees because of the demand. What that is crazy? So
I really feel like my husband and I need that.
(54:48):
I need to go to pack up and go dot
com and just have somebody else planet have a fun
surprise destination. I mean, because it's kind of cool. You
you the stress of planet vacation taken away, vix men
have not known where you're going. Bonus. I'm going to
present this to my husband and see what he says.
I mean, we might do it. I don't know. The
whole point of this is, guys, I'm here for you.
(55:11):
If anybody's vacation jaming you, you tell them the reasons
why you need to go on vacation, and then if
you're too stressed a plan a vacation, then boom, go
to pack up and go dot com. I feel like
just doing you all a little favor here, trying to
take care of you, prevent you from having heart disease,
and I'm allowing you to have improved productivity and better sleep.
(55:33):
Take vacation, y'all. If I have vacation, you can bet
I'm taking it. Big. Thank you to Bianca and Bobo
for coming on. And yeah, if y'all are ever on
Instagram shortly after listening or anytime after listening, if you
want to give some of the people that have come
on to follow, maybe you don't need to follow them,
(55:53):
you can just comment on their page or send them
a message if if you really enjoyed hearing them, tell them, hey,
I heard you on Four Things with Amy Brown. Really
liked it. And then if you're someone that's sort of
a new listener and you don't currently subscribe to this podcast,
well that's easy to just go to the podcast and
hit click subscribe boom. You can rate and review post
(56:14):
things on Instagram yourself if you want. That always means
a lot because it's just a word of mouth kind
of thing happening here. And when y'all share with people
episodes that you like, like the Walker Hayes and Laney
Hayes interview. People were sharing it so much. I could
tell it really touched a lot of people, and I
know that it made me smile and made Walker and
(56:36):
Laney feel really good about sharing their story. And if
you haven't heard that, definitely go back and give it
a listen. But when y'all post things like that, it
means a lot, So thank you. We know we're trying
to just give you some good stuff and it's good
to gauge and see what you like and maybe what
you don't like. I can take constructive criticism as well,
so make sure you keep just sending that over posting it.
(56:59):
I mean, I guess if you have something bad to say,
just send it to me. But you don't have to
post that, like on Instagram for the whole world to see,
because constructive criticism. That way, I have an opportunity to
work on it and then make it better instead of
like putting it on blast. But you know whatever, do
what you gotta do. Uh, it's time for the email
shout out, which is something I do at the end
of every Thursday episode, and this one is from Kalin Hey.
(57:20):
Amy started listening to the Bobby Bones Show daily. When
I heard one day on my drive while I was
taking to the kids to school that you were an aggie,
I had to support my fellow agg Now I listen
every day anyway. The reason I emailed was to let
you know that we've implemented the ten minute PU in
our house and we'll love it. I'm pregnant with number
two and I'm tired. The exhaustion is so real. On
(57:43):
top of being pregnant, I'm a military spouse, I do
a lot of volunteer work from home. I feel like
there aren't enough hours in the day to get housework done.
It's only been a few days, but so far it's working.
Now when I walk downstairs from work, I said, a
ten minute timer. And my house isn't as clean as
I want it yet, but the ten minutes have made
a huge difference in my house. Ten minute p you
(58:04):
as one of my four things right now. So that's
awesome and whoop shout out Kaitlyn. Yes, so into Texas,
A and M. And the ten minute PU is something
that I learned from another fellow Aggie, my sister who
has four kids, and whenever i'd be at her house,
when her kids were younger, and I didn't even have
kids yet, but she would set a timer and something
(58:26):
that just really helped them was everybody, you stop what
you're doing, set the timer for ten minutes, and everybody
just picks up as much as they can in ten minutes,
and it makes a huge difference. And my husband and
I do it now. Sometimes we just our kids already involved.
We just do it. He'll look at me and know,
because when things are just out of place in the house,
I can't focus on what we need to do. It
just drives me crazy. And sometimes he knows I need
(58:47):
that relief of having the house picked up, so he'll
just be like, hey, ten minute, p you. I'm like yes,
So he set a timer and we do it, and
it just it just really really helps because I think
you can always find the ten minutes, but if you
look at it like, oh, it's going to take me
an hour to clean the house, then you just end
up not doing it because you don't have that hour.
Makes sense, makes sense? Yes? Okay, So Calin, thank you
(59:09):
for the email. If you'll ever want to send me notes,
just go to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail
dot com. Alright, well, I hope you'll have a great Thursday.
If you're listening to this the day that it came out,
if not, whatever day of the week it is that
you're listening to this. I hope it's amazing. And we'll
see you next Tuesday for the fifth thing, the Q
(59:31):
and a episode Okay, th little Food for you sol Life.
Oh it's pretty Bay. It's pretty beautiful than that A
(59:53):
little moth you're kicking with? Fourth with Amy Brown
Okay, little food for you. So life. Oh it's pretty Bay,
it's pretty beautiful thing that a little moth you're kicking with?
(00:30):
Four Brown. Pretty pumped about today's episode because I have
two guests on. Both their names start with a B.
I got Bianca and I got Bobo. So Bianca all
Tough is my first guest, and she is awesome. If
you know who she is, you know what I'm talking about.
She's amazing. She's a great speaker. I saw her speak
a few years ago at IF gathering in Austin and
(00:50):
instantly fell in love with her. And she has a
book coming out. I mean, she d m me on
Instagram about sending me a book. I immediately responded, do
you want to come on my podcast? Because I feel
to someone I wanted on my podcast, But when someone
has something out to promote, it's easier to get them,
especially when people are really busy. So boom, I have
Bianca on, and if if you don't know her, you're
(01:11):
gonna you're gonna love her, and hopefully you'll want to
pre order her book that's now available, because I'm going
to start reading it. Maybe it's something we can all
read together. That's a thing that's come up a lot
is a four Things book club. I just I mean,
if audiobook counts, then I'm in. I just need more
(01:31):
time to be able to sit down and read. My
life used to be very different before I worked as
much as I do and before I had two kids,
and I don't know just it definitely changes. And I
know a lot of you are in the same boat.
But I think we need to be encouraging each other
to take time to read. So maybe we start with
Bianca's book and just get after it. Uh. The second
thing we're going to get into today is promo codes
(01:53):
on websites and how you can save money because I
feel like I am not or I haven't been in
the past very good at all a seeking out if
there's a code for a place that I'm shopping, and
always ask you for a promo code when you're checking out,
and if you're in the know, then you know the code.
But if you if you don't know, then you're like, well, shoot,
I don't know the code. Well, I think I figured
out a way to always know the codes if there's
(02:14):
a code, but I also am new to it and
I don't know if it's Russia hacking me, but I'm
sure it's legit because I've been trying it out for
a few weeks. It seems legit. So I want to
help you out with that. And then we talk about
to how we've got our teacher for things to and
for the first time ever, we have promo codes for that,
so that's something fun. My third thing is Bobo and
(02:37):
he is awesome. He's come on my podcast before. He
has a lot of knowledge about the body and health
and how it all functions. He's a nurse esthetician, which
is like a nesthetis, but now he has the an
ivy business here in Nashville, but he travels all over
the country for his clients, and it's just very into
(02:59):
the body and how it functions and how we can
be the healthiest version of ourselves. So I set up
a little Q and A with Bobo, and I asked
you allison questions, and thank you to those of you
that sent them in. I wish we could get to
all of them. Unfortunately, we just had to pick a
few that we're going to get into today. So we
will finally tackle our Bobo Q and A and maybe
he'll just be a regular for that we'll call it
(03:21):
Q and A with Bobo in the four Things podcast,
but he's the third thing. And then the fourth thing
is vacations. I don't know if you'll have heard, but
vacation shaming is a real thing and it just really
irritated me when I read the story about vacation shaming.
And then while I was researching vacation shaming, I came
across this crazy website that now plans vacations for you
(03:44):
and how they do it is totally nuts, but I
think I'm into it and I want to ask my
husband if maybe we can do it because I think
it would be cool. So there you go. That is
what is coming up on this episode, and I hope
you enjoy it. Oh before we get into it, just
a quick little house pink thing that um I want
to cover is the star necklace that I wear all
the time that has three gold stars on it. I
(04:07):
feel like a lot of times I don't want to,
you know, be like a broken record, but I guess
people miss things because I always think it's obvious that
y'all know by now that that's our necklace that we
make it to support Haiti, and it's made here locally
in Nashville. We partnered with able Uh, an awesome company
and women that have transitioned out of homeless lifestyle here
(04:29):
and they're provided economic opportunity locally. They make the necklace
and then it supports Haiti, So it has a local
impact and a global impact. And I just feel like
we've talked about it a lot too, y'all know, but
I've been getting more and more questions about it lately,
I guess because different videos or pictures where I have
it on. So I just want to say, yeah, that's ours,
and I love it. I wear it every day, so
(04:49):
does Mary. Any of my girlfriends that have it, they
pretty much wear it all the time and talk about
how much they love it. So yeah, it's something that
if you're interested in it, you can just check out
go to radio and dot com for all the links
to shop a spaw and shot forward in anything else
you might be curious to see up there. And yeah,
(05:10):
I think that that's it. I just want to address
that one thing. I'm sorry if you already knew that,
but definitely people that don't. Okay, here we go first. Okay,
so this is fun. I have Bianca old tof or
warrez Alf Did I say it right, Bianca? Well done? Amy,
there's a secret Latina in you? Yes, secret? Well I
do grow up in Texas, so okay, it makes all
(05:33):
things make sense. Yes, I'm excited to have you on
I personally you You don't even know this, I don't think,
but I saw you speak at IF gathering a few
years ago and immediately started following you on Instagram because
I thought that you were so cool. Wow. I didn't
know that, but I'm totally honored because I feel like
(05:55):
I've been stopping you and you don't know me, but
maybe you did. Okay. Well, In fun fact about Yanca,
she has a twin sister. And I was at an
event in Austin with Austin Angels, which is a group
that works with foster care children and families. And I'm
at this dinner and this girl walks up and I'm like,
oh my gosh, I know you, Bianca. What up? And
she was like, no, my name is Jasmine. It is
(06:20):
actually like twenty pounds lighter, So in your mind, I'm
actually that Then I love it. Yes, so yeah, our
worlds have sort of collided. But on Instagram we were
you know, I got a d M because you have
a book coming out, and like I love that. Maybe
I came to mind about sending me a book. I
mean I get certain things. A lot of times I
(06:41):
get hit up, but I mean when you hit me up,
I was like excited. I was like, I legit want
this book. It's going to be so good. And then
I immediately before even knowing what your book was about,
I was like, do you want to come on my podcast?
I love it? And it worked out. And then I
got the title of the book, and I was like,
this is gonna be amazing because literally the title is
how to have your Life Not Suck? Yes? Right, yes,
(07:05):
Colling Today, who you want to become tomorrow? Okay? Is
that more that's like than the tagline? Yeah, that's like
this some title okay. So and then I mean that's
that's like a big cell to be like, oh, how
to have your life not suck? But it's like you
actually have to do the work. You have to do
the work today, So if you don't want your life,
it's like tomorrow, right. And so then then I read
some of these questions about it and I answered yes
(07:27):
to all of them, and they went like this, so
if you're listening right now, answer these questions. Do you
ever just want someone to help you figure life out,
to tell you how to win at work? Yes? Do
you ever just want someone to tell you what guys
to stay away from? Yes? What genes to rock your
body shape? Yes? So I mean I feel like this
book is sort of about all the things and will
(07:49):
let you take it away with kind of why you
wrote this book and what you hope people will get
from it. Yeah. Absolutely. So most books, wheel like in
the market place right now, are about one particular topic
and then you have this expert come in and tell
you all the things on this one particular topic. But
what I realized is ten twelve years ago, I'm twenty
(08:12):
five years old, I moved back in with my parents.
It's during graduate school. My mom had brain cancer. I
was desperate and dateless and heartbroken with this guy that
I thought I was gonna marry, and I just literally
felt like all things in life completely sucked, and whether
what they did, I just can find my way out.
I still definately really wanted a community, so definitely wanted
(08:34):
a mentor. And yet those are the very things that
I was afraid of, and so um, I'm ten eleven,
twelve years later, after failing and falling and fighting my
way through, I feel like I met some amazing people
along the way that helped me, uh navigate life and
trauma and um. I have a faith background, and so
(08:56):
a couple of the mentors in my life are alive.
And then there's these two mentors in my life that
are actually dead. And they're two biblical characters out of
a book called Ruth and Ruth and Naomi, and they
dealt with life and love and loss, and right when
it looked like all hope was gone, I walked away
from reading about their lives realizing, if we're not dead,
(09:18):
then God is not done, and we are not too
far gone. We are not too deep in a hole
that we cannot climb ourselves out or step into something new.
And so with all these like learning lessons, it's The
book is broken up into three different sections. The first
one is on dating relationships, the second one, second one
is on states and spirituality, and the third is on
(09:39):
adult ing and growing up. And I took segments of
the life of Ruth and Naomi and applied it to
our lives using my stories and the stories of others
putting it in with practical how choose, and my favorite
part aiming. My favorite part is um, I just covered
therapy later on in life, and I had asked myself,
why did it just be so long to go to therapy?
So and so um. I have a friend, a psychologist
(10:02):
and clinical therapist who weighed in on some critical topics
like great depression, anxiety, Internet talking boundaries, adult thing, and so.
Dr Jeb Gorton also weigh in on the book as well. Okay,
I am super interested in the adulting part. Full disclosure,
I haven't even ready yet. But that's how much of
a fan I am of you is. I'm having you
(10:24):
on before your book is even officially out and before
I've gotten the chance to like really dig in and
read it, because I just I've I've seen your work,
I've seen you speak. I trust what you have to say,
and you make you put everything and in such a
manner that's like it's easy to consume. Like sometimes the
Bible honestly can be hard to translate, like a wait,
(10:45):
what am I supposed to be taken away from this?
But I remember watching you speak at IF gathering, and
you would be up there and you'd be talking about.
I mean, I don't remember exactly what we talked about.
I mean this was years ago, but you were up
there and you were able to put it into real time,
like you would tell this story but then you would
somehow like relate it to Beyonce or something. And absolutely
(11:05):
it was amazing and one and one of my favorite
things to do is like make the Bible come alive.
And I'm I'm dealing with so many millennials connection and
I'm a millenia myself, but like so many people are
like you to understand the Bible boring, And I'm like, now, Bobo,
you boring. You gotta put like the the labor. You
gotta put like the Sabo on it. You know, you
have to read it like a soap opera. And so
(11:26):
my goal is in this book, and not just in
this book, but every time that I communicate the Word
of God, like I wanted to feel like it's applicable
and practical for us today. These are real life people
going through real life struggles, experiencing real left trauma and
finding real life solutions. And I just feel like, hey,
why then the wheel, Let's learn from people who have
failed and faltered so that we can shorten our learning curves.
(11:47):
And so I love that you trust me. I love
that you're into this and I'm so excited to get
the book into your hands. Yeah and so um again adulting, career, staff, relationship, staff,
faith things, and yeah, you're gonna make it. Well. I
feel like it's gonna be something I can't wait to have.
I've got two kids there, twelve and nine, and my
(12:08):
day I know, I've start your Instagram stories. They're like
the cute it that Okay, I just like, come on, well,
thank you, But they do my days of like curling
up with like a book and some coffee and just
you know, having me time. They just have not been
the last year and a half or so. But I mean,
I'm telling you, with yours, I feel like I'm gonna
(12:29):
put it on my calendar and tell my husband, like,
this isn't something I you can consume it. I assume
you're gonna It's gonna be available audio version too, Yes
it is, and I narrate it myself. I love that
because you're so fun to listen to. But I feel like,
I this is going to be a book where I
want to I want to tangibly hold it and have
(12:49):
my little appointment times and my coffee time, and it's
gonna be my me time and I'm gonna curl up
and read it and be able to actually take away
things and apply it to my life. And now all
it's not like a little. Podcasts are so crazy because
people listen to them at different times, Like we're recording this,
but depending on when people are actually you know, consuming it,
(13:10):
could the book would be out. But if you happen
to be listening to this like today, when this podcast
comes out Thursday of August, um people can get the
pre order. Yeah, that's the second part. So two things
on that. One, Amy, you are literally the person I'm
writing this book for because I'm hearing you talk about
(13:31):
this and I'm in a similar season. I have two
step kids, the fifteen and thirteen were busy as in
my climates to church in southern California and in Orange County,
and um, life is bananas. I'm writing books and I'm traveling,
and so I want to make this book like so simple,
so practical, so applicable that you could pick up, you know,
if you have ten minutes you can read a chapter,
or if you have thirty minutes, you can read a
(13:51):
couple of chapters or even a section, and that is
what I'm going after. Like my modern girl just would
love to lose herself in a novel for seven hours.
But you know, unless out killing your children or failing
examine undergrad, I don't think that's like a luxury many
of us have in this season. So I'm so excited
you said that. I hope it's a book that you
get to pull some time away and enjoy. Um. Yes,
(14:11):
And for the listeners who get the book on the
twicet between the twenties, second and thirties, I have like
pre order incentives so they can go on to Amazon, Target, Walmart,
Barnes and Noble Online and if they submit their receipt
to Bianca, oldtof dot Com, Forward Slash not Stuck, they
get gifts totally over a hundred and fifty dollars. So
(14:33):
I do like get seventh session Bable study with videos
and PDFU, a dating assessment, UM, some primable goods and UM,
and also a coupon to some merchandise that's coming out
around the book, all because they pre ordered the book. Okay, awesome,
So a little reason to preorder there, but if you're
listening to this after that window, then just you know,
(14:55):
go to any brick and mortar or anywhere online or
Amazon and order how to have your life not suck?
Because who who who wants their life to suck? Quite honestly,
And some days we just do like live in that.
Do you ever have those days? Beyonca like ah, like
you're just like, uh, you know, we have a great life,
but then we just have those days or some days
we're like okay, we're just either in that moment where
(15:16):
we feel stuck and like things just suck, like absolutely absolutely,
And that's why I love sharing these stories is that
like we are all going to experience UM. In the book,
I listed as capital T trauma and lower case T trauma.
So in psychological terms, you know, capital T trauma is huge,
life altering so that's like a UM, a life altering
car crash. But then there's lower taste T trauma, which
(15:39):
is like a fender mendor. So capital tate trauma is divorced,
it's death, it's bankruptcy. Lower case T trauma is well,
in my case forgetting my makeup bag because I wear
makeup like RuPaul and um or you know, it's like
missing an appointment or a flat tire, and we don't
realize that these macro or microaggressions really can throw us
(16:00):
and cause us the tailspin into maybe a little bit
of anxiety or depression or feeling like the best has
already happened and humiliational waits you. The best is not
behind you if we stay committed, if we put one
foot in front of the other. My daddy always said,
if you are not dead, then God is not done.
And I think that guess what I'm walking through in
this premise, Like I could say, twelve years later, my
(16:21):
life looked really sad and um. I think that not
just faith, but faith and community and honestly invulnerability got
me to a place where I'm able to put language
and nomenclature around what trauma and success and pain and
friendship really look like. In this season, that's awesome. I
love that about the capital T and the lower case T.
(16:42):
I can't wait to dig into more of that, the
different types of trauma. When when I read it, I'm
so glad you came out with the book. And I
love following along. I feel like people are gonna want
to follow you can, you give your Instagram handle and
website and where people can find all things Bianca absolutely
um Instagram, it's at Bianca old Top that's O T
H O F F and um at bianca oltk dot
(17:05):
com where they can find all things, whether it's Bible teachings,
regular teachings, live application, or ways to stay kind. Yes,
and then if you ever have a chance to see
Bianca speak like if you see if she's at a
conference near you or a church near you or whatever,
I highly recommend it. I mean, but also there's the book,
but you do have a way of storytelling with the
(17:25):
Bible and just making us realize, like sometimes when we
are like, oh I don't really know how this applies
to me, or oh yeah, this is kind of like
I don't really get this story, or it's too old
or it's too well, it's it's more like you said,
sometimes people are like it's kind of boring. You're like, no, Like,
I love how passionate you are about it, and you're
so awesome and you're so great at what you do,
and thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Amy,
(17:47):
I'm going to put you in my pocket because you
are forever my hype girl, I love you, and that inappropriate,
but I freaking love you, sister. Thank you so much,
and I can't wait for your audience to connect with
the book as well. Awesome, thank you, Bianca. Okay, so
(18:08):
for this thing, I want to talk promo codes when
you're checking out at places. So Mary, I feel like,
is the queen of knowing promo codes. She even though
some websites, which I don't know them off the top
of my head, but some websites always accept tulip, like
if you just randomly type in tulip, you'll get off
or something. And so she's taught me to be more
aware of deals that places have going on. And so
(18:29):
I was like, well, I've got to figure out promo codes.
I was checking out a couple of weeks ago and
I didn't have a promo code. So I decided to
google promo codes for shop bop right now or wherever
I was checking out from, and like, this website called
Honey came up Join Honey dot com, and I thought, well,
if this is a place I can join, they're going
(18:50):
to give me promo codes. And it seemed a little
fishy because I don't want to just give all my information.
I felt for a minute like, is this Russia, and
now they're going to have access to everywhere that I
searched on line and everything that I do. Which, if
that's the case, I guess I'm okay with it now
because Honey has been saving me some money for sure.
Maybe that's where they got the name. Actually, I have
no idea Honey, we'll save you money Honey. That's probably
(19:12):
not it. But the websites join Honey dot com. I
came across it, I signed up for it. I've been
using it for a couple of weeks or maybe even longer.
That way I could test it out to see if
it really worked. And honestly, the first few times I
struck out, places I was going had no deals and
it was really disappointing. And I was like, well, this
is crazy because now I have this Honey thing in
my browser. It's seeing everywhere I go, it's on my computer.
(19:34):
They have access to everything, and now I'm not saving
any money. Well, I did two things this week where
I had to shop for some trips I have coming
up and work stuff, and it found me codes and
saved me off. So I thought, okay, now I'm ready
to share with my people. And speaking of codes, are
four Things to. This is the first time we've ever
done a code for four Things told. It's just popped
(19:56):
in my head, so I want to say it before
I get to the honey thing. But if you are
a teacher and you get the teacher four Things tote,
we actually have two codes that you can use so
you'll save tim per cent. You can either type in
Apple if that's easy for you to remember because you're
a teacher, Apple, or you can type in west Rock,
(20:16):
like the word west Rock one word because it's the
coffee company and they're donating coffee that are going to
go to our teacher totes that we're gonna hopefully give
out to people to get sponsored and we're gonna like
just surprise people with totes filled with goodies. So yeah,
we have a code for the first time for teachers
and the teacher four Things to. It says caffine, educate, sleep, repeat,
(20:38):
so quickly know that and you can go to shop
Spa or the shop Fowar dot com or Radio amy
dot com to access that tope. But cool little thing
there that we've done, so you don't I bet Honey
doesn't have our our Teacher four Things tote code up
on their website. But yeah, I'm scared, but it's definitely
saving me money. So I guests go to join Honey
(21:01):
dot com is what I did, and then you have
to type in your email address. You have to grant
them access, and then every shopping site that you go to,
you'll see this little red dot up in the corner
by this cursive h which is that's the Honey people
watching out for things. And then when you're checking out,
you click the like if you want Honey to search,
(21:22):
and then it'll just kind of do this internet search
for the code and then if it can find one
that applies to you at that moment, boom, it'll implement
it and it'll discount it from your total price. It's
really that easy. So there's my little tip on saving
money while you're shopping saving that money, Honey. Yeah, join
Honey dot com. Mary, is this what you use? I
(21:43):
don't even know. I haven't talked to you about this yet,
so this might be what she uses to get all
her awesome codes. But you should be using codes because
if you have an opportunity to save, why what don't
you and hopefully this works. And if y'all have any
negative reviews or things to say about Honey and that
I should not have downloaded it and that it's Russia,
(22:04):
email me now, please, four things with Amy Brown at
gmail dot com. And but so far, so good, so
I think you can trust me. Okay, Bobo is in
the house, the Bobo Q and a O. It's coming up, bo,
let's go. Okay. So we had y'all submitting questions for Bobo,
(22:27):
which we got a lot. We can't get through them.
So I think we decided we're gonna do like four
to stick with the theme because four things, but we
may throw in a bonus or something. So where where
do you want me to just start? Yeah? You can
just start, okay. So first question it came in, which
if you're curious about Bbo, I know in the intro
I kind of gave who he was, but I said,
(22:50):
it's a nestetist in the in the intro. Yeah, that's right,
that's right, unnest Yeah, like it starts with the age. Yeah,
it's not you're a You're not a nestetist. You're you're
how about this nurse and neesthetist? There it's like an
antentusiologist nurse. Yeah, it's the best way to put it. So.
(23:15):
And bonus of having him here is while we're recording this,
I'm getting an ivy. What kind of what are we
pumping into me right now? From Arite Nashville A R. E.
T E H. Yeah, you're getting the name of Bob's
ivy business. You're getting all kinds of stuff, all kinds
of ottomans, antioxidant, selectuallytes um, minerals. I mean you feel
(23:37):
a little tipsy. You're getting all kind Is that possible?
Like why do I feel like high? It could be
the magnesium. It's kind of like relaxing um, which can
make you feel a little bit like that. Um. Yeah, okay, yeah,
but I'm fine. Okay. So first question is from Miranda,
(23:59):
and she said that she's been seeing ads for like
some water additive called liquid i V. She's seen it
like Costco CBS right, aid. So her question is have
you tried anything like this, Like does it provide you
with the same hydration as two to three bottles of
water with just one packet? Does it boost your energy
(24:19):
and all like increased brain function? Um? And then if
you haven't tried anything like it. Miranda was wondering if
you could, you know, check on it for her. Yeah.
So there's a couple of companies doing this. Now, there's
liquid Ivy, there's a place called another company called drip
drop Um, and I have tried some of these. I
(24:41):
do think they're there. There is something to it. Basically,
what it's doing is giving you some electrolytes and glucose,
and when that goes into your small intestine and you're
absorbing water with it, they actually it actually pulls more
water that you're absorbing. So basically with those electrolytes, you're
(25:01):
bringing in more water. So when you drink a bottle
of water with that in it, you're absorbing more of
that water. I think before we've talked about like normal
absorption of anything you put in your bodies around twenty two.
So all that all that they're additives are basically increasing
the absorption. Problem with that, in my opinion, is that
(25:24):
if you look at the label on those the number
one ingredient actually pulled it up to make sure that
I could see it. It's pure cane sugar. The number
two is dextros, which is just another form of sugar. Um,
My problem with that is that they make a product
that tastes good that gets you a little bit of that,
like sugar how to. And I'm pretty much against any
(25:47):
form of added unnatural sugar. Like you start throwing things
like it his honey or something you'd be better than
sugar cane sugar or yeah, exactly, you're basically adding a product,
uh to appease people. There's another supplement that I actually
just ordered two cases of. It's called Kington Water. It's
(26:08):
qu I and t O N and it's little tin
mL ampules and you use it kind of the same way.
It's just really electro like dense salt water. It's purified
sea water, and it works essentially the same way by
increasing your absorption and retention of water, keeping you more hydrated.
(26:29):
Like I've recommended it to some athletes who deal with
severe cramping and things like that, but it's just purified seawater.
So for like us every day non athletic people, like,
do we need that type of supplement? I don't think necessarily.
You just need to drink more water, right, and water
is free. Like I did your Instagram whenever I did
the whole thing about getting people to send in questions
(26:52):
to you. I read one of your Instagram posts and
it was you were just talking about sleep and water.
People ask me all the time what they can do
for themselves, and guess what, sleep and water both basically free, right.
I mean, you don't just spend like a bunch of
money to get sleep in well, And I think too
we we as society make a conscious effort to make
(27:12):
an excuse to not sleep enough, and make an excuse
to not drink enough water, Like it's twenty steps to
the water fountain. It most schools or workplaces like just
drink more water. You just have to consciously think about it. Um.
But I think that's enough. And these these companies also
make the claim that they're just as good as an
(27:33):
I V. And my response to that is, if you
get shot by a gun on the side of the
road and you support that claim, I'm going to hand
you a drip drop instead of putt an i V
in you. Like that doesn't really make any sense. I
just think it's a sugar You're you're basically flavoring your
(27:54):
water now to make you drink more water. And it does,
it does help you absorb more water. But you're taking
on added unnecessary sugar. That's only unhealthy for you. That's
no boy. Now, okay, got it all right. Next question
is from Kristen. She said, I'm on board now with
how important sleep is in general to function at our best.
(28:15):
I've heard you all talk about the details with quantity
of sleep, but now I want to dive deeper into
the quality. How do we set ourselves up for a
good night's rest? For a regular person, eight hours is recommended,
but should we be allocating more time to include a
certain routine or gear downtime? What are your thoughts on
sleep supplements? Can naps count towards our eight hours? Also?
(28:39):
Does daylight savings affect our sleep? I typically shoot for
like nine pm to five am, but struggle during the
year when the sun set is an eight pm. Sometimes
I think changing my schedule based on the time of
year in dealing with the extra traffic would be worth
feeling better looking forward to learning how we can make
the most of our sleep. So, man, Kristen, the question, Yeah,
(29:01):
you're covering sleep and you're right up something that I
really enjoyed talking about right now. Um, the first part, uh,
she talks about should you create a routine. Yes, we
have a pre work or pre morning routine. You should
have a night routine as well. It's the only way
that you really create structure to your sleep. And with that,
(29:23):
the hour or two before you go to sleep or critical.
And I think people maybe have seen on my Instagram
talk about blue light and its effects on sleep. I
wear within about an hour and a half ago into sleep,
I put on a pair of blue light tinted glasses.
That's that prepped me for bad and also block blue light. UM.
(29:44):
Blue light has been shown to decreased melatonin production by
UM and our most common thing we do at night
because there's not much else to do other than stare
at our phones, stare at TV, stare at the laptop,
and those things only deep crease UM malotonian, which again
helps us go to sleep, promote sleep, stay asleep. So yeah,
(30:06):
I think that that first part of creating a routine
and what you do and how you prep for bed
is definitely good. UM do naps count towards your eight hours? No? Sorry,
I'm sorry about that. They don't. UM the most effective,
I don't want to stay effective. But one of the
(30:27):
best portions of your sleep is the second half of
the night. Most of your highest quality RIM sleep is
in that second half of sleep or second half of
your your night's sleep. So a lot of your recovery,
your your cognition, your um basically your mind filing things away.
(30:48):
If you imagine you go to sleep with a full
desktop full of files, and rim sleep is where you
start creating more condensed files and you start shuffling things
away into long terms term memory. Things you need, things
you don't need. So that second half the night is crucial.
And to basically say I'm gonna get six hours, but
I'll take an hour and a half nap, that doesn't
(31:08):
really equate the same about sleep supplements sleep supplements. The
things I take at night are hundred fifty milligrams of CBD,
and I use a product called sleep Remedy. It has
magnesium and melatonin and some different things in it. It
keeps it puts me to sleep, and I stay asleep.
(31:30):
I get eight plus hours every night. Um about xan X, well,
you know a lot of those things. No, but people
do take a lot of those things. I'm joking, but
sometimes if I really need to sleep, I do want
to honestly know how it's affecting my body in a
negative way. Because after my mom died is the first
time I ever took xan X. I literally cannot sleep,
and my doctor described to me a sleeping pill and
(31:53):
it did not work. And so then he also had
given me zan x but for during the day because
my sister and I were just we were literally it
was towards the end of her life. It wasn't right
when she died, but we were we were her main caregiver,
so it's very hard. So we needed like that chill
out stuff. So he gave a stand x and so
I took one night before sleep and that was it
(32:14):
knocked me out. Was the first great night's sleep that
I had had in weeks, and so I sort of
stayed with it, especially after she died because the anxiety
was real. And um now I've weaned myself off of it.
It's been years now, so I don't I don't rely
on it like I had to at that time, but
it was necessary, so I did it. And you know,
now I don't like putting things in my body unless
(32:36):
I I need to, but I still have some leftover
and if I know I need a good night's sleep,
like I will cut one of those bad boys in
half and I take it and it just feels so
good to sleep, But I just know that's not good
for me. Yeah, I mean those things and the first
time you could talk about they're addictive, and you always
(32:56):
I was always always need more. Like it's not like
you can take that little bit of an X every
night and you're not eventually going to anymore if you're
consistently taking it. And it also alters your your sleep patterns.
You're not getting quantity verse quality you're getting. You it
will help you get the quantity sleep, but your quality
(33:17):
will only be all will be hindered, I guess. So
that's what they say about alcohol two is it may
help you sleep, but your body is not going to
go into the deep sleep. No, you don't sleep as
well because your your body temperature rises throughout the entire
night because your liver is processing all that alcohol. So sure,
if someone has like a glass of wine at night
(33:38):
I have, I wouldn't like argue with that. I mean
I kind of would, but I wouldn't fight it too much.
But if you're drinking at night and you think, oh,
the most I sleep during the weeker on, like Friday,
Saturday nights, go out on the weekends, drink a bunch,
and then sleep nine or ten hours. That sleep you're
getting is pretty bad, bad quality sleep quality. Okay, so
(34:00):
back to supplements. I kind of derailed with the Zanex. No. No,
those are the two things I take. Like my three
things of my sleep routine is about an hour and
a half before I put my blue light tinted glasses.
I mean, just I have blue light glasses and I
need to start doing that because I have them. Why
wouldn't I And I am on my computer and if
people have questions about where to get those, like, I
have like Amazon page that you can find on the
(34:22):
link in my personal bio and I'm just at Adam
Bobo on Instagram And if you click on that and
go to products in there, you can find v blue
light glasses that I wear every night. Yeah and oh yeah,
real cool. You posted videos. But they work and I
get a lot less headaches. People that have headaches, a
lot of those headaches trains can be from blue lights.
(34:43):
So that's another reason that I try to make sure
I'm pretty diligent on those. Cool. Okay, So hopefully that
was there anything else in the sleep thing that we
oh daylight savings. Do you know if that affects our sleep? Um,
the light can, because your body so much of our
sleep and wake pat are driven by light. And I
think that's kind of what she mentioned the late sunset.
(35:04):
I wear a sleep mask, like I wear a masket
to sleep at night, mainly because if any any of
that light can alter your wakepen and I try to
stay out. I mean, so I if if I'm concerned
about light, like I always bring one when I travel,
just in case I can't block all the light of
(35:24):
the room. I try to sleep basically in a semi
coold cave that's curtains that's silent, or a noise machine
if you want something like that to just block out
the random ambiance sounds that come on throughout the throughout
the night. And that's how I sleep, And I feel
really good when I wake up. Like that. You should
(35:46):
wake up from sleep and within twenty minutes, like you
should feel good. You shouldn't be like dragging tired still,
Like if you're still dragging all morning long, then you're
probably getting poor quality sleep, poor quantity asleep one of
the other. Okay, all right, sleep is important and it's free,
and it's free and decreases the risk of type two diabetes,
(36:08):
heart disease, stroke, and I'm a multitude of other things.
So that's my sales pitch on sleep. So get your
sleep on. We talked all the time because people used
to always just think of if I work out, I'm
healthy or whatever, and now the order and they're like
and I kind of eat okay, and then I don't
sleep at all. But really it should be sleep, eat right,
workout right, sleep eat right. Yes, Like sleep is the
(36:31):
most important than what kind of food you're eating should
be the next most important. Working out should be like like,
if you're trying to squeeze in the workout, but it's
going to sacrifice your sleep, you should sleep, which it
used to be like whatever reason I was like, oh
I got to get to the gym because I gotta
get my workout in for the day. But like I
(36:51):
even tell a lot of my NFL athlete clients that
if you're grind is interfering with your sleep, then that
grind it is only to your own your body's detriment.
You're more prone to injury, you're more prone to cognitive dysfunction,
you're more prone to just like have that brain fog.
So if you're grind so to speak, is affecting your sleep,
(37:12):
then it's only long term going to be detrimental to
your performance. And that's even like an athlete. So definitely
me or anybody else would be affected by that as
normal normal folk folk. Okay, um, next question is from
who do we got? Is it from Becky? Okay? What
super foods should I be eating to help reduce inflammation? Specifically,
(37:38):
she references rheumatory arthritists, but I know not every I
don't know if you can answer in that type of detail,
but I know right, Um, there's a lot of superfoods.
They're pretty easy just to like Google search find a
whole bunch of stuff from blueberries to kale, to spinach
to beats to rick. In your body, it needs to
(38:01):
be with black pepper. And that's something a lot of
people don't know. They're like, oh, I'll just sprinkle tumeric
on whatever. But in order for your body to be like, oh,
tumeric to do its job, you gotta have black pepper.
You'll even notice now for a long time I didn't
see it, but now that's becoming more widely known, even
little like tumeric shots that you see the grocery store whatever,
(38:21):
even organic ones that sometimes I'll take just for a
quick throwback. You'll see black pepper is an ingredient. We
don't really taste it, but it's definitely needed. Okay, So
what other I think people fail to forget that most
Americans in the in the vast majority of us, the
highest um antioxidant, the most common or highest antioxidant containing
(38:46):
thing we ingest is coffee. So I do tell people
that you should have a really good, high quality coffee
in your diet. One cup. I'm not gonna sit here
and tell people to drink a whole bunch of coffee. Um,
but I do think having one cup of coffee a
day is actually healthy for us. Just there's so many
antioxidants and and it's so deeply rooted in the vast
(39:10):
majority of people's diets already that just having a high
quality cup of coffee every day is great. Um. I
use key on coffee just so you know what it is.
It's the it's the and the coffee is so good.
I drink it black, But I just put my random
(39:31):
stuff in it that I use. That's not cream and
not sugar, but it's great. UM. Tart cherry juice is
another really good one. I've been seeing that more and
more gaining popularity. I think, I think so. But it's
nutrient dents, it's um, has a lot of antioxidants in it.
It's great for lack of recovery. It's really good for
(39:52):
a lot of different things. But it's a really good
uh and it's low sugar too, so you're getting a
lot of good stuff packed in without a whole bunch
of sugar. So like if I see a tart cherry
powder situation that you mix with water, but I mean
in the ingredients or okay, is that a way to
get it? Or should I be getting it in liquid form?
(40:16):
You can get it that way. I always just tell
people to read that, like read the label, and if
there's a word that you can't pronounce, don't buy it
or try to avoid it. Um. If you can't pronounce it,
it's probably not natural, you know what? And this is
this could be it's definitely not an anti inflammatory food
(40:36):
or additive. But maltadextron is in everything, like even companies
that I trust, and it's like a it makes things
taste better, longer or something, whatever it is, it's I'm
(40:56):
just so disappointed in some companies that I trust, like
really good quality food organic, like all of the other
ingredients are so spot on, and then they freaking have
multidextren added to it, And I'm like why why why why?
Why why why? So that's an additive that I look
out for for sure. The other thing to like in
(41:18):
regards to this, beyond superfoods and talking about rhumatory authritis
and autoimmune disorders or diseases, um, it's really about decreasing
your oxidative stress. So I do tell people to try
like relaxation techniques or breathing techniques or a big one
that's pretty easy to try is meditation. Um. I use
(41:40):
the Headspace app and like, meditation is great for just
a relaxing but also be decreasing that that's that stress
load on your body. We associate, you know, what we
put in our bodies is affecting us. But what we
do and and our physical or mental emotional stress causes
(42:02):
uh a physical response by our bodies that that we
also need to um consider as well. Beyond just you know,
what super foods can you eat, but what else can
you do. Um. Okay, what about another question? Okay, next
one's from Tanya. What helps with chronic fatigue? That's a
(42:26):
pretty big wide net there, Tanya, Um, what helps with
chronic fatigue? Well, going back to something I've already mentioned,
sleep is the first place I would start. I would
look at your quantity of sleep and your quality asleep
and make sure that you're accomplishing those two things. I
didn't go look at your diet and say, you know,
(42:49):
are you eating foods that contain a lot of are
you eating a lot of processed foods, foods, a lot
of weird additives, um, a lot of high sugar type foods,
and then say, well, you probably should come back and
eat more whole foods. More not whole food to the store,
but you know, like vegetables, meats, whatever your diet is,
(43:11):
eat clean, Eat is little or as minimal process foods
as possible. Um. I didn't have any processed food today, Boom.
I got really excited about that when you said that,
because I started think about everything I've consumed today. Because
you and I know this well, Bobo has a friend
that he hooked me up with. It's helping me try
to understand certain nutrients that I need in my body
(43:34):
and certain things that I'm lacking. And while I've never
been someone and you know, if you're listening to this podcast, like,
I don't want to be put pressure on myself to
like eat a certain way, but I do want to
take care of myself, and I don't want to stress
out like, oh I have to get this, this, this,
and this, because it just like I want to be
a little bit more free than that. But I as
(43:55):
much as I'm trying to take care of my body
and working out, I do feel like I owe it
to my self to know like a roundabout figure of
what I should be getting. And like I realized I
was really, really, really lacking in protein, so I've had
to up that game big time. And but it is
making me make sure that I'm eating more whole foods,
(44:17):
which has been great. And so when you said that,
it made me realize, like thinking back on my day,
I had all whole foods, not the grocery store. I've
had zero foods today. Wait, why I fasted today? Why?
And then well, I was gonna eat at some point
and I didn't have time. So I'm just adjusting my
(44:40):
and I didn't work out today. So sometimes when I
don't work out, I don't eat as much. I started
to realize if you don't work out and you don't
exert calories beyond like your basil net abolic right and
your actual day, like we overeat as a society anyway.
So for me, like, I'm kind of hungry, but I'm
not starving. I had my coffee and my stuff I
(45:00):
put in my coffee, but outside of that, I've had
no food at all, and I'm gonna eat when I
leave here. But it's uh, I don't want to say
what time it is on the podcast, but podcast are recorded,
It's fine, it's six o'clock at night, six o'clock at night.
It's no, no, no, I don't want to say what
time it is at night because that's late to not
eat for me. So I will eat when I leave here. Um,
(45:25):
so the other things I take, Uh, there's a supplement
called true Niagen and it's nicotinamide rabbicide And this is
a whole another like rabbit hole to go down. And
I'll try to like talk about this more on my
Instagram and we'll start selling this product on our website
as well. Which what is your website AIRTA Nashville dot com,
(45:48):
a R E t E Nashville dot com. And um,
it basically boost your natural N A D levels against
something that we haven't talked about yet, but ultimately it's
the most potent anti aging longevity molecule that we have
available to us right now. Um. But if you just
look up a search for N A D or n
(46:09):
R or nicotinamide rabbiside true NIGE and there's a rabbit
hole of information you can find pretty readily on the Internet.
And like I said, I'll try to do better to
explain it in the future as well. But that is
something I would look into with your chronic fatigue. Yeah, okay, Um,
(46:30):
well do we have more? Do you have like a bonus?
Was that for? We can have a quick bonus? Okay,
bonus question from Jordan's I got asked this on my Instagram.
It was top four supplements you couldn't live without? If
I was just picking four things, but things in theme. Um,
(46:56):
it's a tough question and could be honest. They ask
for three, we change it. That's for three. But but
here's the thing we changed it for. But I actually
told this individual four things, right because we thought four things,
but I gave this person four things because it's tough
to only name three. It's tough to on the name four.
I take a lot of you take a lot of stuff,
(47:17):
but like you're not saying that's for everybody, it's not
for everybody. It's overwhelming. You're you understand it and you
know what's happening, and so I think that's why you
can do that. But trust me, we're not on here
trying to to overwhelm you by any means. And that's why. Yeah,
keeping it simple with three or four makes sense. And
if you want more information, then you hit bubble up
(47:38):
on the GRAM. Yeah, if you're d M, you slide
them DM single. By the way, I talked about this
every time, slid away single. Look are you still single? Sometimes?
You know, I don't see you for a few weeks.
I don't know still single? So um. The first one
is magnesium. I take my amnesium tree. Nate, I take
(48:01):
magnesium as well. Yes, I think it's crucial for sleep stress.
I mean, it's used in so many body processes and
it's really hard to get too much, and of all,
Americans are poorly deficient in it. So I usually tell
people that's where I start magnesium, like, that's the first
thing on that list, and then I use a combo supplement.
(48:25):
So I'm kind of cheating here with one of mine.
It's a calcium, vitamin D and K two supplement. Most
of my supplements come from only a few places, and
I have loaded all these onto my Amazon page, But
that multi combo supplement. To get adequate absorption of magnesium,
you need calcium, you need vitamin D, and you need
(48:47):
vitamin K two. Otherwise your magnesium you're taking, you're probably
not getting effective utilization or absorption of that magnesium. Yeah,
I'm taking some oxygen aided magnesium max, magnesium oxide, manesium
oxide something like that. Do you get like stomach problems
at all from it? No, I know what you're talking about.
(49:10):
Not that we want to talk about that, but people
are very concerned about magnesium and it's being used to like,
you know, help you go to the bathroom, some magnesium
tree and a th h R E O T N
T and I think I added extra T in there. Um.
It actually is the only formulated uh magnesium supplement that
(49:31):
crosses the blood brain barrier, so which allows the magnesium
to be utilized in your brain as well as in
your body. But either way, those other combinations. And then
a probiotic, really really really good probiotic, especially the way
our diets in America are so highly processed. Processed foods
(49:51):
kill your normal bacteria gut floor. So basically the bacteria
in your gut gets destroyed by processed foods. So I
tell people a really good probiotic um again, I'll talk
about that on my Instagram. And then true Nigen I
mentioned it a minute ago. With uh chronic fatigue, I
(50:14):
take it every day and it's one of the four
that if I was picking four things to take, Magnesium,
a combo supplement of vitamin D, calcium and K two,
A really good probotic, and true Nigen. And those are
the four things that I would recommend that you take
if you can only take four. Okay, Well, hopefully y'all
(50:35):
enjoyed hearing from Bobo. I know you always do. I do.
I appreciate when he takes time to come on and
share with us as you can tell, extremely knowledgeable and
if you're in Nashville you can check out Arete there. Uh,
I mean you're you are a concierge service. But y'all
have an office in the Gulch, which is a really
(50:57):
popular part of town, and and you know, you can
make appointments there and just pop in and there's a
variety of things. But you don't like to market yourself
as because the ivy businesses super gaining more popularity. I
guess it's like a hangover cure. I mean, we'll take
care of that stuff, but we don't market that out there.
(51:20):
Is like, hey, bachelor and bachelortte parties, come on now,
if you come to town, like, we'll definitely take care
of you because those people already hydrated and its medical dehydration.
We will take care of you, but you more times
than not won't see us marketing like that out there.
We're more of a wellness. I love you, I like
your vibe. I like that that's your vibe, and then
(51:43):
arite like there's there's big plans down the line, so
hopefully well, I mean not like good, that's not even
wood for me to knock on knock on wood. But um, yeah, no,
Bobo is great, So make sure you'll give him a
follow on Instagram and um, tell him how much you
enjoyed r Q and a and he will be back. Okay,
(52:13):
we're gonna talk about vacation shaming. Yeah, that's a thing,
Like it's for real. I saw this article that said
that Americans are just not using all their vacation time
and one of the main reasons why is because of
vacation shaming. And that's when coworkers and bosses use peer
pressure and guilt trips to discourage employees from taking time off.
And I just was like, man, that is such a bummer,
(52:36):
Like you should if you have vacation days, you should
absolutely be taking them for like your well being, like
a getaway. Vacations are good for your health, like they
can reduce stress. Actually, right now, I'm going to look
up reasons why vacation ng is good for your health,
and we're going to kind of go over that because
my mind is blown that vacation shaming exists. Like if
(52:59):
you're vacation shameing somebody, then you're anti fun and niceness
and you're all about stress, and then you probably yourself
need to take vacations so you'll chill out on other
people taking vacation. Okay, here right when I google it
for scientific reasons, vacations are good for your health. One
stress reduction to heart disease prevention, probably because you're less dressed.
(53:23):
Three improved productivity, probably because you get to step away
from what you're doing and then you return happier and
more productive. Boom. And then four better sleep. Yeah. It
says that vacations interrupt the habits that disrupt sleep. So yeah,
you're not working late into the night or on your
computer before bed. You're able to just relax and actually
(53:45):
get good sleep. So boom, you should do that. Which
this is another thing that I saw now I'm talking
about about vacations. I gotta tell you about this article
I read about this new company called pack Up and Go.
I think it's pack up and Go dot com. M yeah,
let me go and see that. That's it. Yep, Okay,
it's pack up and Go dot com. How crazy is this?
(54:05):
So this place, this company, they'll play a three day
vacation in the US for any budget. You just have
to list how much you're willing to spend. The only
thing is you don't know where you're going. The destination
is a complete surprise. All you do is fill out
a survey of your likes and dislikes, and then a
week Before you leave, you get an email with a
weather report so that you know how to pack any
(54:27):
luggage restrictions based on your destination and the location of
the airport of the train station that you need to
go to. I mean, if you want to drive, they
say you can road trip it to your mystery location.
But there's been a lot of success, it says so
far they've had unbelievable success and they've even hired more
employees because of the demand. What that is crazy? So
I really feel like my husband and I need that.
(54:48):
I need to go to pack up and go dot
com and just have somebody else planet have a fun
surprise destination. I mean, because it's kind of cool. You
you the stress of planet vacation taken away, vix men
have not known where you're going. Bonus. I'm going to
present this to my husband and see what he says.
I mean, we might do it. I don't know. The
whole point of this is, guys, I'm here for you.
(55:11):
If anybody's vacation jaming you, you tell them the reasons
why you need to go on vacation, and then if
you're too stressed a plan a vacation, then boom, go
to pack up and go dot com. I feel like
just doing you all a little favor here, trying to
take care of you, prevent you from having heart disease,
and I'm allowing you to have improved productivity and better sleep.
(55:33):
Take vacation, y'all. If I have vacation, you can bet
I'm taking it. Big. Thank you to Bianca and Bobo
for coming on. And yeah, if y'all are ever on
Instagram shortly after listening or anytime after listening, if you
want to give some of the people that have come
on to follow, maybe you don't need to follow them,
(55:53):
you can just comment on their page or send them
a message if if you really enjoyed hearing them, tell them, hey,
I heard you on Four Things with Amy Brown. Really
liked it. And then if you're someone that's sort of
a new listener and you don't currently subscribe to this podcast,
well that's easy to just go to the podcast and
hit click subscribe boom. You can rate and review post
(56:14):
things on Instagram yourself if you want. That always means
a lot because it's just a word of mouth kind
of thing happening here. And when y'all share with people
episodes that you like, like the Walker Hayes and Laney
Hayes interview. People were sharing it so much. I could
tell it really touched a lot of people, and I
know that it made me smile and made Walker and
(56:36):
Laney feel really good about sharing their story. And if
you haven't heard that, definitely go back and give it
a listen. But when y'all post things like that, it
means a lot, So thank you. We know we're trying
to just give you some good stuff and it's good
to gauge and see what you like and maybe what
you don't like. I can take constructive criticism as well,
so make sure you keep just sending that over posting it.
(56:59):
I mean, I guess if you have something bad to say,
just send it to me. But you don't have to
post that, like on Instagram for the whole world to see,
because constructive criticism. That way, I have an opportunity to
work on it and then make it better instead of
like putting it on blast. But you know whatever, do
what you gotta do. Uh, it's time for the email
shout out, which is something I do at the end
of every Thursday episode, and this one is from Kalin Hey.
(57:20):
Amy started listening to the Bobby Bones Show daily. When
I heard one day on my drive while I was
taking to the kids to school that you were an aggie,
I had to support my fellow agg Now I listen
every day anyway. The reason I emailed was to let
you know that we've implemented the ten minute PU in
our house and we'll love it. I'm pregnant with number
two and I'm tired. The exhaustion is so real. On
(57:43):
top of being pregnant, I'm a military spouse, I do
a lot of volunteer work from home. I feel like
there aren't enough hours in the day to get housework done.
It's only been a few days, but so far it's working.
Now when I walk downstairs from work, I said, a
ten minute timer. And my house isn't as clean as
I want it yet, but the ten minutes have made
a huge difference in my house. Ten minute p you
(58:04):
as one of my four things right now. So that's
awesome and whoop shout out Kaitlyn. Yes, so into Texas,
A and M. And the ten minute PU is something
that I learned from another fellow Aggie, my sister who
has four kids, and whenever i'd be at her house,
when her kids were younger, and I didn't even have
kids yet, but she would set a timer and something
(58:26):
that just really helped them was everybody, you stop what
you're doing, set the timer for ten minutes, and everybody
just picks up as much as they can in ten minutes,
and it makes a huge difference. And my husband and
I do it now. Sometimes we just our kids already involved.
We just do it. He'll look at me and know,
because when things are just out of place in the house,
I can't focus on what we need to do. It
just drives me crazy. And sometimes he knows I need
(58:47):
that relief of having the house picked up, so he'll
just be like, hey, ten minute, p you. I'm like yes,
So he set a timer and we do it, and
it just it just really really helps because I think
you can always find the ten minutes, but if you
look at it like, oh, it's going to take me
an hour to clean the house, then you just end
up not doing it because you don't have that hour.
Makes sense, makes sense? Yes? Okay, So Calin, thank you
(59:09):
for the email. If you'll ever want to send me notes,
just go to four Things with Amy Brown at gmail
dot com. Alright, well, I hope you'll have a great Thursday.
If you're listening to this the day that it came out,
if not, whatever day of the week it is that
you're listening to this. I hope it's amazing. And we'll
see you next Tuesday for the fifth thing, the Q
(59:31):
