Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Fifth Thing. It's the Q and a
segment of my Four Things podcast. I'm Amy Brown, and
I've been going through some of the questions that you've
sent me, and I really appreciate that you'll take the
time to email and talk about the show and which
you like, which you don't like, what you'd like to hear,
and you also ask me questions. So this is where
I will address them. The email address is four Things
(00:21):
with Amy Brown at gmail dot com in case you're
new and you're like, oh, what is this email thing?
And I can just send your questions and I really
some of them I really just don't have the answers
to I am coming to As like your friend, I
try to seek advice from others. I try to tell
you what I know and what I do and what
works for me. But at the end of the day,
some of the questions I'm getting, I'm like, well, this
(00:42):
is like definitely for like a medical expert. So until
I can either find the right person to bring on
to address the question or like I can ask them
and then relay it to you, I'm just kind of
have some questions that I have on the back burner
that are like waiting. So if you don't hear your question,
hopefully it'll get addressed one day. This first question is
(01:08):
from Anna, and she's looking for advice. Hey me, my
husband is active duty Air Force and we found out
only a few weeks ago that he's getting deployed. We've
been through a deployment before, but last time I was
able to live with my family, and this time we're
at a new base where I will be all alone,
with just my dog to keep me company. I know
you've said in the past that you've been in this
(01:28):
same situation. I was wondering how does one cope with
loneliness during this time. So Anna, there's like, I feel
like there's so much of this because I know exactly
what you're going through and I've been there, and so
I'm going to share this with you and hopefully some
of it works for you. But I moved to North
Carolina and I had never lived anywhere but Texas. I'd
(01:50):
always been close to my family, had nobody there, I
had no friends, and my husband went to Afghanistan and
I was like, well, this is amazing. I did have
the radio show, The Bobby Bones, so I was doing
that every morning and I will say I was lonely,
but my job requires me to be such an extrovert,
which I think I typically am. But I'm so out
(02:11):
there and talking for five hours every morning, that a
lot of my alone time at home even though I wasn't.
I mean, there would be times I went days without
seeing anybody because I didn't know anybody. I mean, I
would see Bobby on FaceTime during the show while we
were recording, so for five hours I was talking to
people and talking to the show and talking to all
of our listeners. But I wasn't really interacting with humans
(02:33):
outside of that five hour block of doing the show.
But I didn't mind it. So I wasn't necessarily that lonely.
So that's where we're different a little bit, because I
needed that alone time to recover. However, it eventually caught
upter I was like, Okay, I gotta meet some friends.
Like there's only so much alone time, or you know,
so many Fridays and Saturday nights and Sundays that I
(02:56):
can spend alone. So I will say I tried to
get to know my neighbors, which I did have amazing
neighbors and one that kind of I feel like I
got lucky Marianne. She took me under her wing. She
kind of knew everybody in town. We lived in this
quaint little town called Southern Pines outside of Fort Bragg,
So shout out to anybody that might be listening in
that area. But oh gosh, I loved it. And I
(03:19):
did have my dog Josie, which I'm gonna go sidebar here. Josie.
We had her for you know, ten eleven years or so,
um eleven, and she got cancer last year and passed away. Um.
We had to put her down because it just got
to that point and it was so hard, and the
vet kept calling us to come get her ashes, and
(03:40):
my husband finally went to get them, and I have
them now, and they're on my dining room table and
they're in this cute little like gift sack with tissue.
I still have been able to open that part up,
and it's been on the dining room table for a
few days, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
But I do know that we want to spread her
ashes in North Carolina, like I want to go back
(04:01):
to that first house, um, where you know, where she
kept me the most company and she made me feel
safe and protected, which I know. Anna, you mentioned you
have a dog, and I will say, your dog will
probably end up being your best friend. And because and
Josie was that for me for for so much of
that time and we really really bonded that, that's exactly
(04:25):
where I want to go spread her ashes. So I
don't know all of this does tie together, but they're
just random thoughts I'm having popped into my head, and
I'm like, Oh, I need to go back to North
Carolina and do that because that was such a special
time for us, and I really feel like that's where
Josie belongs. And we actually still own that first house
that we live at, so we rented out, but I
don't think the rentals will will mind, If the renters
(04:48):
will mind if we like spread the ashes there while
they're there, I don't know. I don't really know how
that works or if that's weird, but obviously I'll talk
to them or think about it or talk to my husband.
But anyway, back to that dog was amazing. Neighbor Marianne
was amazing. She introduced me to some people in town.
Then we got plugged in at a church where I
(05:08):
met some friends, and then I started to go to
different workouts, and oh, through my church, some of the
girls that I met, they started a book club and
even with some other people in the neighborhood that didn't
go to our church. But again, it was a small town,
so it was easier to have that connection. But I
started to go to book club, which was so fun.
And then I remember being at a body pump class
at like our gym. We went to a Gold's gym
(05:31):
and there was this girl in there and I thought, well,
she looks like she could be fun, and sure enough,
I just started talking to her and I was like,
I'm gonna make friends with this girl. So I went
up to her and I started talking to her, and
I was like, basically, do you want to be my friend?
And her name was Kate. Turns out her husband was
in the military to our husbands ended up getting to
know each other. They became friends still are so that
(05:51):
sometimes you just have to like go up to someone
and maybe see if they want to hang out, because
they may be in the same shoes that you are,
and she was so she was, you know, looking for
someone to hang out with as well, and ended up
working out and we ended up doing like even from
that body pump class, we started going to the same
yoga studio and then we would meet each other for
yoga classes and then you know, double dates like I
(06:15):
think for several years in a row, her husband, my husband,
and me. We celebrated New Year's Eve together um at
Chef Wuren's, which was our neighbor's restaurants. So anyway, those
are good little memories for me. But that's all because
I literally went up to her at a body pump
class and said, Hi, so Anna. I know sometimes it
might be hard to say hi to strangers or see
(06:35):
if someone's in the same shoes as you and if
they want to hang out, but just know right now,
I'm super glad that you have a dog, and that
dog will get you through so much while your husband's gone. Um.
But yeah, get to know your neighbors. Get plugged in
if you do, go to church, if you don't, whatever,
find a way to get plugged in then the community.
I started volunteering at a middle school UM doing this
(06:57):
program mentoring like young kids, and that was really amazing
and that helped fill some of my time. I mentored
this kid named Trevion, and he was so cool and
awesome and he taught me a lot, even though he
was like in sixth grade and I was like twenty
late twenties or something. But all that to say, there
are things you just got to get out there and
(07:18):
like get busy. You're not going to just sit at
home and in your loneliness. So you got this, and um,
if anybody else has tips for Anna sitting on my
way and I will try to relay them to her.
This next question is from Carly. Hey, Amy, I love
the show. You talk about your diet on the podcast.
(07:40):
I also know that you get recipes from Little Sipper,
but was wondering what are their places you also get
recipes from Thanks a Bunch and Giggle, So shout out, Carly.
I take it you went to Texas and m or
you do Go, which is where I went? Whoop, And
I would say my top places that I go for
recipe inspiration. As Kimberly Snyder, she's the girl Beauty t
(08:01):
Talk Solution. You'll hear me talk about her a lot.
She's famous for her glowing green smoothie, but she has
a lot of other really simple recipes that I think
are easy to make and really nutritious and good for
your body. I also love Kelly Loaveck. She's known for
her Fab four smoothie, but she also has other amazing
recipes not just smoothies, Like she has this whole Fab
(08:22):
four meals. She's all about, you know, having four things
on your plate at each time, um, a protein, a fat,
a fiber, and a green. So I love a lot
of her recipes. And then I follow some people on
Instagram that I that tend to post recipes like they're
just I guess food bloggers or food influencers. And a
(08:42):
recent follow that I am just loving and everything I've
made from her so far is pretty awesome. And her
handle on Instagram is Kale Junkie at Kale Junkie and
her name is Nicole. I actually want to have her
on the podcast because she's been very open about some
of her struggles in the past with her eating disorder,
and I think she would be a really good interview.
(09:04):
I have struggled with that in my past, which is
something I haven't really brought up here on the podcast,
but I have talked about on the Bobby Bones Show
in years past. But I'm gonna start putting that out
there and start dipping into that a little bit, maybe
even when I hear from you all, which you all
would like to hear when it comes to that, or
maybe different struggles you'll have had when it comes to
food or eating disorders. Um. You know, whether it's just um, anorexia, bulimia,
(09:31):
over eating UM. And that's why sometimes i'm really and
by the overreading main like binge eating UM. There's all
different ways that that people suffer when it comes to food,
and you may be doing it alone and quietly and
feeling like, um, there's no one else out there that
could relate to you. And I want my podcast to
(09:51):
be a place where everybody you know feels like, well,
nobody feels alone. I guess I just say it that way.
Nobody feels like they are alone and they're the only
one going through it, because trust me, you are not.
And Nicole, I think, has an amazing story because and
that's the Kale Junkie, because she was at the height
of her eating disorder. She was a lawyer. She was
(10:13):
working out like and super fit and looked great, didn't
look like she had anything going on, and people would
actually be shocked to know that she was actually a
hot mess and that's what That's what people are really
good at sometimes is we can put on a disguise
and make everything seem like it's totally honky dory and great,
(10:35):
when really we're like slowly killing ourselves on the inside.
Whatever that may look like for you when it comes
to food and UM, I just know that that's a
real struggle for especially for women, but even for men.
So um, that's something that I want to have Nicole
on Kale Junkie to talk about because I think she
I love her story, I love that she's vocal about it,
(10:56):
and we'll just start dipping into that hopefully soon. But Carly,
I would say my main go too is, like I said,
are Kimberly Snyder and Kelly lovek so definitely check them out.
I think be Well by Kelly is Kelly the vexx website,
be well by Kelly dot com. And then it's Kimberly
Snyder dot com. I'm pretty sure it's hers, So onto
(11:18):
the next question. It's another health related one, I think
with vital proteins. It's from Elizabeth. I've been a fan
of yours for years and I'm so glad to have
your podcast episodes every week to look forward to. In
addition to the radio show. My question is about the
college and peptides from Vital Proteins. I bought the container
and I want to begin putting this into my diet,
but I'm not sure where to begin. Can I just
put it in anything like my coffee each morning? What
(11:41):
are your suggestions? And Elizabeth, Yep, you can basically put
it into anything. If you got the blue tub, it's unflavored. Um,
it's just the regular Yeah, collagen peptides. There's a green
one which is the beef gelatin and that like thickens things.
Do you want to be careful with that depending on
what you're using it for. But yeah, the blue tub
is what I use every day. Mary uses it every day. UM.
(12:02):
Kelly Lavek is really into it as well. UM. And
Aaron Opria, my trainer that I have come on and
talk about health and fitness. I'm actually sipping a Macho
late with Vital Proteins out of my new white YETI
mug as well. Yetti was so nice to donate UM
tumblers white tumblers to our a spuat event that we
(12:23):
did here in Nashville. We had swag bags and Yetti
like came through last minute and we're like, yeah, we're
going to donate, and we were like freaking out because
they're so cute and yet he's amazing and it keeps
my macha hot for hours. So I love just sipping
on that. And yeah, I throw it in there, but really,
you could put it in your coffee, you could put
it in soup. You can sprinkle it on food. Maybe
(12:45):
you have you know you're lacking in protein for the day,
and you've made a predominantly like a vegetarian meal. Like
I wouldn't sprinkle it on meat if you're having meat
or anything. But sometimes if I've whipped up some cauliflower
rice or some zucchini noodles or even pasta for that matter,
and I've putting like a marinara sauce on top, I'll
put the college in peptides in the marinara sauce and
then that will be my protein for the meal. Um,
(13:07):
since I don't really eat a lot of like actual
meat meat, so I hope that helps. But it's flavorless
and you cannot taste it, I promise you. I Mean,
there's been times where I've been real desperate to maybe
get protein after a workout, and I just do not
have time, and I have put it in a bottle
of water. Shake shake, shake, shake, shake, and chugged it
back and boom, I got my I got my protein in.
(13:30):
And then that's not all I have, of course, but
later when I have more time, like I'll make like
a big bowl oatmeal or something if it's in the morning.
So Elizabeth, you can pretty much put it in whatever.
And if some of you are wondering where do I
get vital proteins, will I have it up on my
Amazon page. All you have to do is go to
radio Amy dot com and you can see my favorite
things on Amazon. Click that and I'll take you right
(13:52):
to my page and you can see a lot of
the things that I order from Amazon. There's different categories.
There's like the beauty category and groceries. I think I
have idle proteins under both categories because it is good
for your hair, skin and nails. So that's why I
put it under beauty as well as groceries, which I
was looking at some stuff that you'll actually really like
to buy off there. And I will say the number
(14:12):
one item that y'all are loving are the eye patches,
which is amazing because I use those every single day.
I do like an under eye patch, you know, to
help deep puff, and I really do, honestly see a difference.
So I hope y'all are liking that stuff as well.

Welcome to the Fifth Thing. It's the Q and a
segment of my Four Things podcast. I'm Amy Brown, and
I've been going through some of the questions that you've
sent me, and I really appreciate that you'll take the
time to email and talk about the show and which
you like, which you don't like, what you'd like to hear,
and you also ask me questions. So this is where
I will address them. The email address is four Things
(00:21):
with Amy Brown at gmail dot com in case you're
new and you're like, oh, what is this email thing?
And I can just send your questions and I really
some of them I really just don't have the answers
to I am coming to As like your friend, I
try to seek advice from others. I try to tell
you what I know and what I do and what
works for me. But at the end of the day,
some of the questions I'm getting, I'm like, well, this
(00:42):
is like definitely for like a medical expert. So until
I can either find the right person to bring on
to address the question or like I can ask them
and then relay it to you, I'm just kind of
have some questions that I have on the back burner
that are like waiting. So if you don't hear your question,
hopefully it'll get addressed one day. This first question is
(01:08):
from Anna, and she's looking for advice. Hey me, my
husband is active duty Air Force and we found out
only a few weeks ago that he's getting deployed. We've
been through a deployment before, but last time I was
able to live with my family, and this time we're
at a new base where I will be all alone,
with just my dog to keep me company. I know
you've said in the past that you've been in this
(01:28):
same situation. I was wondering how does one cope with
loneliness during this time. So Anna, there's like, I feel
like there's so much of this because I know exactly
what you're going through and I've been there, and so
I'm going to share this with you and hopefully some
of it works for you. But I moved to North
Carolina and I had never lived anywhere but Texas. I'd
(01:50):
always been close to my family, had nobody there, I
had no friends, and my husband went to Afghanistan and
I was like, well, this is amazing. I did have
the radio show, The Bobby Bones, so I was doing
that every morning and I will say I was lonely,
but my job requires me to be such an extrovert,
which I think I typically am. But I'm so out
(02:11):
there and talking for five hours every morning, that a
lot of my alone time at home even though I wasn't.
I mean, there would be times I went days without
seeing anybody because I didn't know anybody. I mean, I
would see Bobby on FaceTime during the show while we
were recording, so for five hours I was talking to
people and talking to the show and talking to all
of our listeners. But I wasn't really interacting with humans
(02:33):
outside of that five hour block of doing the show.
But I didn't mind it. So I wasn't necessarily that lonely.
So that's where we're different a little bit, because I
needed that alone time to recover. However, it eventually caught
upter I was like, Okay, I gotta meet some friends.
Like there's only so much alone time, or you know,
so many Fridays and Saturday nights and Sundays that I
(02:56):
can spend alone. So I will say I tried to
get to know my neighbors, which I did have amazing
neighbors and one that kind of I feel like I
got lucky Marianne. She took me under her wing. She
kind of knew everybody in town. We lived in this
quaint little town called Southern Pines outside of Fort Bragg,
So shout out to anybody that might be listening in
that area. But oh gosh, I loved it. And I
(03:19):
did have my dog Josie, which I'm gonna go sidebar here. Josie.
We had her for you know, ten eleven years or so,
um eleven, and she got cancer last year and passed away. Um.
We had to put her down because it just got
to that point and it was so hard, and the
vet kept calling us to come get her ashes, and
(03:40):
my husband finally went to get them, and I have
them now, and they're on my dining room table and
they're in this cute little like gift sack with tissue.
I still have been able to open that part up,
and it's been on the dining room table for a
few days, but I just can't bring myself to do it.
But I do know that we want to spread her
ashes in North Carolina, like I want to go back
(04:01):
to that first house, um, where you know, where she
kept me the most company and she made me feel
safe and protected, which I know. Anna, you mentioned you
have a dog, and I will say, your dog will
probably end up being your best friend. And because and
Josie was that for me for for so much of
that time and we really really bonded that, that's exactly
(04:25):
where I want to go spread her ashes. So I
don't know all of this does tie together, but they're
just random thoughts I'm having popped into my head, and
I'm like, Oh, I need to go back to North
Carolina and do that because that was such a special
time for us, and I really feel like that's where
Josie belongs. And we actually still own that first house
that we live at, so we rented out, but I
don't think the rentals will will mind, If the renters
(04:48):
will mind if we like spread the ashes there while
they're there, I don't know. I don't really know how
that works or if that's weird, but obviously I'll talk
to them or think about it or talk to my husband.
But anyway, back to that dog was amazing. Neighbor Marianne
was amazing. She introduced me to some people in town.
Then we got plugged in at a church where I
(05:08):
met some friends, and then I started to go to
different workouts, and oh, through my church, some of the
girls that I met, they started a book club and
even with some other people in the neighborhood that didn't
go to our church. But again, it was a small town,
so it was easier to have that connection. But I
started to go to book club, which was so fun.
And then I remember being at a body pump class
at like our gym. We went to a Gold's gym
(05:31):
and there was this girl in there and I thought, well,
she looks like she could be fun, and sure enough,
I just started talking to her and I was like,
I'm gonna make friends with this girl. So I went
up to her and I started talking to her, and
I was like, basically, do you want to be my friend?
And her name was Kate. Turns out her husband was
in the military to our husbands ended up getting to
know each other. They became friends still are so that
(05:51):
sometimes you just have to like go up to someone
and maybe see if they want to hang out, because
they may be in the same shoes that you are,
and she was so she was, you know, looking for
someone to hang out with as well, and ended up
working out and we ended up doing like even from
that body pump class, we started going to the same
yoga studio and then we would meet each other for
yoga classes and then you know, double dates like I
(06:15):
think for several years in a row, her husband, my husband,
and me. We celebrated New Year's Eve together um at
Chef Wuren's, which was our neighbor's restaurants. So anyway, those
are good little memories for me. But that's all because
I literally went up to her at a body pump
class and said, Hi, so Anna. I know sometimes it
might be hard to say hi to strangers or see
(06:35):
if someone's in the same shoes as you and if
they want to hang out, but just know right now,
I'm super glad that you have a dog, and that
dog will get you through so much while your husband's gone. Um.
But yeah, get to know your neighbors. Get plugged in
if you do, go to church, if you don't, whatever,
find a way to get plugged in then the community.
I started volunteering at a middle school UM doing this
(06:57):

if anybody else has tips for Anna sitting on my

This next question is from Carly. Hey, Amy, I love
the show. You talk about your diet on the podcast.
(07:40):
I also know that you get recipes from Little Sipper,
but was wondering what are their places you also get
recipes from Thanks a Bunch and Giggle, So shout out, Carly.
I take it you went to Texas and m or
you do Go, which is where I went? Whoop, And
I would say my top places that I go for
recipe inspiration. As Kimberly Snyder, she's the girl Beauty t

She's famous for her glowing green smoothie, but she has
a lot of other really simple recipes that I think
are easy to make and really nutritious and good for

(08:42):
recent follow that I am just loving and everything I've

handle on Instagram is Kale Junkie at Kale Junkie and
her name is Nicole. I actually want to have her
on the podcast because she's been very open about some
of her struggles in the past with her eating disorder,
and I think she would be a really good interview.
(09:04):
I have struggled with that in my past, which is
something I haven't really brought up here on the podcast,
but I have talked about on the Bobby Bones Show
in years past. But I'm gonna start putting that out
there and start dipping into that a little bit, maybe
even when I hear from you all, which you all
would like to hear when it comes to that, or
maybe different struggles you'll have had when it comes to
food or eating disorders. Um. You know, whether it's just um, anorexia, bulimia,
(09:31):
over eating UM. And that's why sometimes i'm really and
by the overreading main like binge eating UM. There's all
different ways that that people suffer when it comes to food,
and you may be doing it alone and quietly and
feeling like, um, there's no one else out there that
could relate to you. And I want my podcast to
(09:51):
be a place where everybody you know feels like, well,
nobody feels alone. I guess I just say it that way.
Nobody feels like they are alone and they're the only
one going through it, because trust me, you are not.
And Nicole, I think, has an amazing story because and
that's the Kale Junkie, because she was at the height
of her eating disorder. She was a lawyer. She was
(10:13):
working out like and super fit and looked great, didn't
look like she had anything going on, and people would
actually be shocked to know that she was actually a
hot mess and that's what That's what people are really
good at sometimes is we can put on a disguise
and make everything seem like it's totally honky dory and great,
(10:35):
when really we're like slowly killing ourselves on the inside.
Whatever that may look like for you when it comes
to food and UM, I just know that that's a
real struggle for especially for women, but even for men.
So um, that's something that I want to have Nicole
on Kale Junkie to talk about because I think she
I love her story, I love that she's vocal about it,
(10:56):
and we'll just start dipping into that hopefully soon. But Carly,
I would say my main go too is, like I said,
are Kimberly Snyder and Kelly lovek so definitely check them out.
I think be Well by Kelly is Kelly the vexx website,
be well by Kelly dot com. And then it's Kimberly
Snyder dot com. I'm pretty sure it's hers, So onto
(11:18):
the next question. It's another health related one, I think
with vital proteins. It's from Elizabeth. I've been a fan
of yours for years and I'm so glad to have
your podcast episodes every week to look forward to. In
addition to the radio show. My question is about the
college and peptides from Vital Proteins. I bought the container
and I want to begin putting this into my diet,
but I'm not sure where to begin. Can I just
put it in anything like my coffee each morning? What
(11:41):
are your suggestions? And Elizabeth, Yep, you can basically put
it into anything. If you got the blue tub, it's unflavored. Um,
it's just the regular Yeah, collagen peptides. There's a green
one which is the beef gelatin and that like thickens things.
Do you want to be careful with that depending on
what you're using it for. But yeah, the blue tub
is what I use every day. Mary uses it every day. UM.
(12:02):
Kelly Lavek is really into it as well. UM. And
Aaron Opria, my trainer that I have come on and
talk about health and fitness. I'm actually sipping a Macho
late with Vital Proteins out of my new white YETI
mug as well. Yetti was so nice to donate UM
tumblers white tumblers to our a spuat event that we
(12:23):
did here in Nashville. We had swag bags and Yetti
like came through last minute and we're like, yeah, we're
going to donate, and we were like freaking out because
they're so cute and yet he's amazing and it keeps
my macha hot for hours. So I love just sipping
on that. And yeah, I throw it in there, but really,
you could put it in your coffee, you could put
it in soup. You can sprinkle it on food. Maybe
(12:45):
you have you know you're lacking in protein for the day,
and you've made a predominantly like a vegetarian meal. Like
I wouldn't sprinkle it on meat if you're having meat
or anything. But sometimes if I've whipped up some cauliflower
rice or some zucchini noodles or even pasta for that matter,
and I've putting like a marinara sauce on top, I'll
put the college in peptides in the marinara sauce and
then that will be my protein for the meal. Um,
(13:07):
since I don't really eat a lot of like actual
meat meat, so I hope that helps. But it's flavorless
and you cannot taste it, I promise you. I Mean,
there's been times where I've been real desperate to maybe
get protein after a workout, and I just do not
have time, and I have put it in a bottle
of water. Shake shake, shake, shake, shake, and chugged it
back and boom, I got my I got my protein in.
(13:30):
And then that's not all I have, of course, but
later when I have more time, like I'll make like
a big bowl oatmeal or something if it's in the morning.
So Elizabeth, you can pretty much put it in whatever.
And if some of you are wondering where do I
get vital proteins, will I have it up on my
Amazon page. All you have to do is go to
radio Amy dot com and you can see my favorite
things on Amazon. Click that and I'll take you right
(13:52):
to my page and you can see a lot of
the things that I order from Amazon. There's different categories.
There's like the beauty category and groceries. I think I
have idle proteins under both categories because it is good
for your hair, skin and nails. So that's why I
put it under beauty as well as groceries, which I
was looking at some stuff that you'll actually really like
to buy off there. And I will say the number
(14:12):
one item that y'all are loving are the eye patches,
which is amazing because I use those every single day.
I do like an under eye patch, you know, to
help deep puff, and I really do, honestly see a difference.
So I hope y'all are liking that stuff as well.
