balance out all the bad news that you're getting out
there with the headlines. So there's no headlines here, no gossip,
no scandal, no kwords, no Kardashian talk at all. Instead,
I want you to focus on your own reality show
how you can be happy eighty eight percent of the time.
So I have topics and guests to that end, and
(01:24):
today is no exception.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
His name is Chris Gibson.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
He's a licensed esthetician and skincare formulator with over thirty
seven years of experience.

(02:00):
Journey began with a personal battle against severe cystic acne.
After years of trying conventional treatments without success and enduring
bouts of depression and anxiety, Chris turned to a more natural,
integrative approach to skincare and diet. The shift brought lasting
results and ultimately led to his best selling book, Acne
(02:20):
Free in Three Days, which has sold over a million
copies and changed lives around the world. Please welcome to
my studio, christ Gipse. Welcome.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh okay, good. I was wondering.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You know, when people say that was quite a you
never know if it meant.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
To my life just flashed before my eyes.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Well, when this podcast show number one, four hundred and
forty six over six hundred and ninety two consecutive weeks,
it's kind of like, Okay, I've been doing this a
little bit and I better have it memorized. Although it's changed,
there was a point when Kardashian was doing some good things,
so I had to take that out of the lineup.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But you get the yes.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, And I love to start every show with breakfast
with my guest or co host or myself.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And it's a good life habit, a hashtag.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Discipline that I probably started like three or so years
ago where I have my guests as well as my
listeners and watchers on my YouTube TV channel. I'm going
to ask you how you I don't know if you
have Do.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You have kids?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh you don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh well dogs just dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well you're a fur dad.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But my kids are kind of embarrassed that their mom
is a YouTuber and you are a YouTuber.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But I start with gratitude.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So the top of the bun, when we take a
bite of my gratitude sandwich, top of the butt is
what you're grateful for outside of yourself and then the
bottom of the bun is what are you grateful for
inside of yourself? Something I want to model for y'all
before you go to bed tonight. So we'll start with
what are you grateful for outside of yourself? I'll start
(04:32):
I am grateful for the taste of my coffee in
the morning's There's just something so delicious about it. Because
I'm probably going to be told that I shouldn't be
drinking coffee by a skincare expert, but that's okay, We'll
just start, Okay, what are you grateful for? Chris, Well, you.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Know that's always a little bit blank. But outside of myself,
I am grateful or where I'm living at this point
in my life, and that moved all over. I've been everywhere.
I started in Texas, I lived in the mid South
and around Nashville, and then sometime in Memphis, and then
I lived up north in the snowy part of the
(05:16):
Northeast and did that for twenty eight years. So that
was a great chapter. And now I'm I wanted the
beach next, so I did that. I've been here twelve years,
so this has been a real experience. I'm really grateful
for that because I've met all these different people by
moving around, and I have plans everywhere, so I don't
know what's next to be grateful for. Maybe the West
(05:38):
Coast will be in the future for me.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Which beach are you?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
The Tampa the East? I mean the western side of
the state, Tampa. Saint Pete's where I'm at. Oh, where
I'm where I'm currently located. And it's hot as hades
right now, so that shaves a little of the gratitude
off that, you know, when we get to the October November,
you say for January and on, I'm very grateful that
I'm here and not dealing with snow anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So well, well, I'm on the better side of the
coast for beaches. I'm in a long beach with an
ocean view, So I for me, I am grateful for
getting to see the ocean of abundance every single day,
and that is truly.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm grateful that I have a platform.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
To meet interesting people like Chris and look forward to
the conversation to get to know him today. And I'm
grateful that it's my birthday coming up on Sunday, so
I started.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Celebrating last year.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No, I'm kidding I love the feeling of vacations and birthdays,
and so my goal in life is to live every
day not like it's my last, but that every day
is my birthday and that is that is like Christmas Day.
(07:05):
So I appreciate my ability to do that. So that's
the bottom of the button. The reason why I do
that is a lot of us are perfectionists or recovering perfectionist,
and we're always looking at what's wrong with us. Ninety
nine compliments, one insult, and you're going to go to
that insult. Instead, I want to encourage all of us
(07:29):
to really feel good about themselves before you go to
bed at night.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So instead of what I.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Didn't finish, or what I'm not good at, or who
done me wrong, I want you to exercise your muscle
of self love and self care. So that's why I
do this. So I appreciate my ability to.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Love my life.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
What about you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
One with similar lines? I just turned sixty one in March,
so wow, there's a lot. I'm at that point in
life where there's a lot of retrospect of what went
what goes right, what went wrong, And I'm at that
that retrospect. Now what I'm grateful for is that there
isn't any of it that I'm really regretting because all
(08:15):
of those pieces are played such an important role to
where I'm at now, so I couldn't be who I
am now. I know that sounds a little wow we
hear that, but I mean even the things I did
in college, taking broadcasting lessons, things that didn't go anywhere
that later on benefited me. It's like there was a
plan all along, even though you didn't know what it was.
(08:38):
So you know, I'm at that age now where there's
a lot of that recognition and gratitude toward even some
of those struggles that seemed really bad at the time.
I feel much feel like you could throw anything at me,
and I think I don't. I don't get rattled by Steph.
(08:58):
I mean, I still get mad about some things. You know,
things will irritate you, but in general, I don't get
rattled about things because things work out.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yep, happens for our divine and best good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
So I'm just I'm one of those people. Everything will
work out. I tell you know. All my younger friends
you hate when I say that, and I'm like, I
know you're suffering and you're rolling around, but it's not
gonna make any difference. All this worry and stuff you're
doing yourself, it doesn't do anything. So it just takes
a while to get there.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
When I interviewed halle Berry, she said, if you're going
through hell, keep going, and I have adopted that that
whatever I'm feeling, if you can get past the pain,
you'll find the power.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah. Most of it's a knee jerk reaction anyway. That
we have conditioning, as you were talking about earlier, Some
of that conditioning that we have towards things is a
lot of times what's in the way, not the thing itself.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Correct And I almost one hundred percent of the time,
if you have a knee jerk reaction, you're gonna look
like a jerk. All right. That is it for breakfast
this morning. We want to use up most of our
time getting to know all of Chris's wisdom around skincare
and good health and all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But thank you for joining us for breakfast.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Folks. I promise if you continue this good life habit
hashtag bliscipline with or without me every weekday morning, you
will sandwich your day in the most positive way. Thanks
for joining me for breakfast. And now for the topic
(10:37):
of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It says everything is awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It is Chris Gibson and his uh let's see his
the truth around skincare and diet and looking ageless, which
is what you do.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Unbelievable. You do not look sixty one at all.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not going to share how young I am, because
my my, you know, better be thought a fool than
to open your mouth and confirm it. Better to be
thought young than to open your mouth and disconfirm it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
But so let's start with did you know when you
were a kid that you would be doing what you're
doing today.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's a really funny question because I knew I would
be doing something big. I think I didn't know what
it was. And like you, I've mentioned, I took broadcasting classes.
I thought it would be a weather man. That was
a big thing for me to be on TV. I
thought all of this stuff, and you know, I was
in theater and debate and I did all of that
that I thought about politics. Believe it or not, I'm
(11:54):
glad I didn't go into that. I dodged that bullet.
But you know I was able to do something big,
and so I went into the corporate world for a while,
even though I had the holistic stuff going on. You
talked a little bit about that I had cured my
own acme, and that's a huge story for me. Back then,
(12:17):
you know, I was told I couldn't until I had
that cleared up, I couldn't really be on TV. You know,
I had an agent. I did bit parts in movies.
We won't go into how many how far back that was,
but there are a few episodes of the show Dallas
I was on as a speaking extra. That's way back there.
(12:38):
So I knew there was something. I knew I wanted
to do something like that in the public eye. But
being who I was and being very driven, I also
wanted to have money and an education. So I worked
two jobs, went to school, bought my first house at
twenty four years old, a brand new house. So some
(12:59):
of that set on the shelf for a while. But again,
as I said, when you look back on your life,
the things you did, having to work with people, having
to be an executive vice president in a business, and
learning the business. So I learned broadcasting to be on
TV and how to be on TV, which I didn't
use until years later. I learned how to be in business.
(13:20):
I learned how to market, how to write scripts, all
of these weird, disjointed pieces that I use every single
skill that I picked up over those years in what
I do today because I run three different businesses. It's
not just YouTube. I have a skincare line. I'm about
to launch supplements, so from a business standpoint, I have
(13:43):
that acumen of years doing that. You have a best
selling book under my belt, so I know how to publish.
So there are a lot of skills that I have
that are just unusual put together. Put My first publicist
was just like, you're just one of those people that
just has these pieces and it's not usually like that.
(14:08):
And I think I have because I dealt with with
humans from a human resource standpoint for so long. I
had One of the big skills I have that's benefited
me as a holistic esthetician, nutritionist and a fitness person
is that I can take some very complex things and
make them simple. I had to do that for years
(14:30):
in the corporate world, so again a skill that I
would have never thought would be anything. And all those
pieces I use them every single day.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Can you be specific about some of those things that
were really like not fun only because this show is,
especially the first half. I like to talk. I like
to be real, right because you know, especially people who
(15:02):
are influencers and have you know that you're put on
a peestal. The most important thing to me is not
to talk only about success, but to encourage people who've
gone through setbacks to see, you know, it is part
of everyone's life. No one is immute to shataki, right,
(15:28):
and so if you don't mind sharing some shataki only
to encourage people around their own journey, Yeah, and does.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No one's ever asked me that that way before, But
it's very distinct in my head right away what those
things are. Well, first, overcoming an illness on your own
when the medical community can't help you anymore. It gives
you a certain sense of empowerment. Because I struggled with
that skincare issue, you know, the big thing. My family
(16:01):
didn't want me to have scarring. So the approach still
really with dermatologists is to save your skin from that
because they all feel like eventually the acne will get
taken care of. Well, I was one of those people
that just didn't go away. Child of the seventies on
antibiotics for everything from a cold to tonsilitis, So of
course my gut health was out. Nobody was talking about that.
(16:26):
The food that I was sugar spikes, you know, as
a typical teenager. I got through college eating candy bars
at three in the morning because I worked two jobs
while I went to school. So learning that there are
holistic ways was huge for me. But it all came
from that struggle of years and years. So twenty three
(16:46):
years old, I mean told I can't be on TV
with that type of acne because it was bumpy, like
it's bumpy skin. It's not like just a little pimple.
And so I went to a really top of the
line dermatologists there in Dallas, and they handed me the
same prescriptions for the same things I had tried them past.
(17:07):
And with that frustration and I was really frustrated. I
laughed my own face. I talk about that in the book.
I was so angry at my body. So I went
and figured it out to holistic methods. My family thought
I was nuts until it went away, and then they're like,
what did you do? So that was the purpose of
(17:28):
that whole book.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Would it give me a hint on what you did.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Oh yeah, I went on a fast. I took everything
out of my diet completely for three days. Then I
did apples only, which there weren't colon cleanses. And you
got to remember in the eighties there wasn't vitamin shop
and all of this stuff. All of these herbal stores
were usually had occult sections in them, and they were
(17:53):
in some weird shopping center at the very end, you know,
that's really what they were. But by cleansing myself and
then getting my gut health straightened out through probiotics, which
Nobode was talking about in the Adies, of course, and
then figuring out what foods were causing the problems and
(18:16):
not eating them anymore, I didn't have I never had
that cystic acne even ever. Come back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Wow, now is that the same kind of food for
everyone or is it different?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well, we know, we know now that there are some
generalities when it comes to to acne, roseatia, ezeba and
those type of skin issues where there are flare ups
are reactionary type of skin issues that sugar spikes, you know,
uh in too much sugar in your blood can spark
those to be a problem. That was the case for me,
(18:48):
I could drink a regular Coca cola, no bault of
Coca colas, and I could watch the inflammation get worse
within minutes. That's how I really I talk about that. That's
how I really made that connection. Dairy altered dairy is
a problem, especially for women who have adult onset acne
that creates issues in there. Again, digestive health huge. You know,
(19:13):
making sure you have a lot of fiber, things are
moving through the way they're supposed to, and that you're
having you know, a good balance of good and good
bacteria in the gut is really huge when it comes
to these particular diseases. So of course now we have
yogurts and all sorts of things. You got to kind
of work around all the additives that are in them.
(19:34):
But it really makes a big difference for people. And
so when I put all that in the book, what
I did. The book wasn't how to The book was
how what happened to me? Book? The reason the book
did so well and got me on television everywhere, including
on the back when Fox used to do the the
plus and minus thing with you, you know, they bring
(19:55):
on somebody who agreed with you and they bring on
somebody who thought you were crazy. That was just at
the timing of when MRSA and all of those issues
with people in the superbugs from all the antibiotic use.
So I've had divine timing a lot of my life
with a lot of the things that I do. That
(20:15):
was one of those. So then I suddenly went from
talking about skincare to childhood obesity to overuse of antibiotics.
My mother had diverticulitis and she thought I was crazy
when it came to like yogerten, so she hated all
that stuff. In course, they put her on it, they
made her eat it to help with her healing process,
so big negative. That turned into a driver into what
(20:40):
I do. So that was but it was not a
fun The acting was not fun. That started at eleven
and I had it until I was about twenty three.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
So that's yeah, not fun.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Very self esteem stealing, Like what the hell's wrong with me? Right?
It's like why is why is this happening to me?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So for that from the health standpoint, and I mean
what I do today speaks to that. And I think
most people that are there aren't a lot of people
like me. There are doctors. I'm not a medical esthetician
do any of that stuff. But they're even some of
the big dermatologists that you talk to, and I've talked
(21:20):
to several of them on YouTube. They all have a
story of how they got they went into that and
it usually is a self healing journey at the very
bottom of the driver. If they're very passionate about it,
there's a reason they're passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Of course that as you know, that's saying about psychologists.
You know what, what what drives a person to be
a psychologist is childhood trauma.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah, yeah, you're a psychologist or a bartender guilty as
charged people's problems.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
That's right, right, Okay, So let's go to well, one
of the things that came to mind when you were
talking about diet and absence or you know, watching reactions,
I had Chris work on. He actually came to celebrate
thirteen years again with me, and he healed himself from
(22:17):
stage four cooling cancer with with diet. And people are questioning,
you know why we have rises in autism, rises in ADHD,
rises in you know, all these things that never really
were an issue before.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
H and process food is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
One of the most common things that came you know,
microwave quick, all that stuff that you can't pronounce on
the label. What do you say to that? I you know,
that's my one of my bs, my one of my
belief systems in h we just we just Oh it's fast,
it's easy, let's eat it. Oh it feels good, Let's
(23:02):
eat it. And that Forks over Knives documentary, and there's
several of them like that fat and something. It's like
eye opening at at how we are like distracted by
mass whatever it is to use.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
A production of food packaged to look pretty and tasty
with salt and sugar. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, so you don't use any boatox or anything like that. No,
everything is that true?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
The only thing, the only thing I've been doing lately
I'm doing is testing out new technology which is like
red light therapy. I'm very big on read light therapy,
electromagnetic therapies, you know those type of therapies which are
non invasive but helps stimulate the body's natural ability to
(23:55):
heal and regenerate and rejuvenate. So yeah, no botox, no shots,
no villers.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
What do you say to people who say, well, that's
just because you're genetically because I hear that because of Michael, you.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Asked me, I'm being honest. It is first of all,
it's insulting. Second of all, I get where you get
that from. It's a it's a it's a cop out.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It's I'm not saying it. I'm asking you know.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I know, I know, and I work with people on
this very issue. People.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I get it all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
With what happens to humans is when we have something
that we're dealing with that we don't see, we're empowered.
We look for reasons why, and sometimes the reasons why
it make no sense. It's like, where did you get
that from? Which just watch TikTok with people doing all
these crazy things for the same reason. Well, that must work,
you know, because she put toothpaste all over her face
(24:58):
and now she does have breakouts. And by the way,
don't do that on your face. Everybody has genetic stuff.
Even within my own family. Though my mother took really
great care of her skin, my grandmother took really great
(25:20):
care of her skin. So I picked up habits like
like like taking a shower of night and using moisturizer,
and and then I had the really great grmatologist and
even that we couldn't cure the acne. I learned about
sunscreen early on. My mom was big on sunscreen before
(25:42):
the skin cancer increases that we have today.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
What number for what?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
What number of all you need is thirty five? Thirty
five thirty five you can do for it. There are
some formulas mineral that are forty six that I like,
I talk about on the channel, And that's great. When
you get over that, don't you get too far off topic.
But that's a good question. When you get over that,
it's greasy and it tends to travel and gets in
your eyes, and you still have to reapply it, just
(26:08):
because every two hours, if you sweat or swim, you
need to apply it sooner. And believe me, I'm in
Florida and I'm outside a lot. I'm the very social
person with a lot of friends that we spend a
lot of time outside. And they learned the hard way.
They put on the sunscreen, and then sudden we've been
at the pool for four hours and they're like, oh
my god, I'm burned. Yeah, but but what I the
(26:33):
plus that I see is that more and more people,
even strangers on the beach or the pool, will help
you out like it's a thing now to put on sunscreen.
So like you're you're by yourself and you're trying to
get you can get your back. The total strangers go,
you want me to do that for you, I'll spray
you down.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
So I just look for the cute guy and ask
them to do that.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
There are people that will do that, and I think
that's great. I mean, I think that's a great thing.
You know, for two reasons. One, it's it's being a
nice human. It's nice to see these days people being
kind and considerate of other people when we don't see
examples of that high up very often. And then the
other thing is that it's actually helping somebody protect their skin.
(27:17):
So so yeah, thirty five is about as high as
you need to be, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And every two hours?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
What about saunas dry, saunas wet, saunas plunges awesome?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Reallyes There are three those are three really different strategies.
So it really depends on the person and what you're
going for and your health. Like if you're not well
or you're on certain medications like heart medications, you don't
need to jump into freezing ice cold water. It's not
a good idea. So as we've heard all our lives,
(27:55):
if you're going to do something out of the ordinary
for yourself, always just when I buy your doctor or
at least get some advice from one, if you know
somebody before you do that. Drysun is anything that allows
a controlled sweat of your body does detox you. I know,
there's a lot of conjecture. There's a whole lot of
(28:18):
people in the medical community that still they're always slow.
Like when I was my mother was when I was
in my twenties and she was in her late thirties
and her forties, doctors were telling her not to worry
about vitamins. By the time we got to where I
was in my forties and she was in her seventies,
they had her on vitamins, they had her on minerals,
(28:39):
they had So the medical community can be really slow
when it comes to this sort of supportive care. They're
really great on treating the issue without treating the.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Cause right the underlying Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
They don't like to do that when're getting better. So
any position that I have in my life is one
that has got a hole list of both approach. Even
the vet that I have for my dogs as the
dual approach because it works.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
What kind of dogs.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Two Jack Russell terrorists?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh that's good. I yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
The funny thing is is the vet is always amazed
when I bring them in because they don't act their age.
When sixteen one's fifteen and they run around like crazy
and she's I can't believe the dogs are that all,
but she goes. But then it's you and she's I
can tell you. I've seen over the years that animals
get what their humans have. So if a human has
(29:41):
stomach issues, the dog has stomach issues. I wonder if
that's because they eat food and then they give because
my dogs don't get human food. Do that? Is it
because of that?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Though?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The one just heard me, so they know what the
word dog means. So I think because I'm active there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, so it's similar to that.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You they start resembling how you look to if you
long term dog owners. All right, we have to take
a quick break for news, weather and traffic, and a
word from our sponsor. Don't go away.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
This is uh continuing.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I'm getting all my good uh uh personal questions in
there because it's my show and I have an expert
on I'm gonna use them and abuse them. So don't
go away, We'll be right back chuckle.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Aries to say we'll be back into and too.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I say peace in peace out, don't go away, We'll
be right back.

Eight Ways to Be Happy.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Many of us say, I am my own worst critic.
Nobody's harder on me than I am.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
And my response to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Why are you doing that to yourself?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
You have to be your biggest fan, because if you can't,
at the end of the day say I did a
good job, who is We don't have to constantly be
angry at the things that are wrong. Why don't we
choose to be happy about things that are right. We
have the choice.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
That's our muscle, and life is so.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Amazing if we can see it.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Take back your life with doctor Maurissa Pey.

I hit my three point nine to eight million impressions
on Monday, So I'm grateful to y'all for proving that
people said this show wouldn't last a year because we
don't talk about headlines, only heartlines, and they were wrong.
So I'm still here. And I've brought very special guests
through these years, and today's exception. His name's Chris Gibson.
(33:45):
He is a very shy, reticent, nothing to say kind
of guy, and sarcasm is another service I offer. But
he has his own giant YouTube channel that you want
to go and free subscribe to him as well. He
has a beautiful home online. It's called Chris Gibson Live,
(34:10):
so it's kind of a play Mind's Doctor Marissa Dot Life.
But I do I do feel like we have some
things in common. Uh, certainly the uh the attitude around
what things happen for pain and life is mandatory, but
suffering is optional. So here's lots of popular youtubes. He's
(34:35):
the skin type. Oh what's my skin type?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Can you tell? Just by the filter I'm using?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You know what that's that's funny skintop oily dry, combination
sensitive and filter.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Thank you, thank you?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Oh that is funny. Yeah, Like I am ageless and
I definitely used to have.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Super whoops lost you there? Uh, super oily skin.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
I was just trying to make you a little smaller
on his I'll just stop sharing.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
But what if I have combo skin?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I guess right.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm using tretanoan or whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
And is that goodino acid?
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Yeah, it's prescription level. That's good.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, and uh, my esthetician says that it's been working
really well. I've been on like two years and I'm
up to point one.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And honestly, though I don't notice people ask me all
the time, what I do for my skin, and and
up until the Tretonoan, honestly, I didn't do anything that's special.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
My mom used camellia.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oil she just passed, so I brought that back with me,
so I've been using that. I tried botox twice and
I had a droopy I the first time and the
second time. I was so afraid by the look of
the the the assistant who escorted me into the office.
But I said, this is not for me. What else
(36:24):
do I do for my skin? Sunscreen? When I remember
and that's definitely my achilles heel that I'm going to
have to get a little more. And yeah, I really
I'll tell you offline how old I really am, but
because I just don't say it for those reasons I
told you before. So what would you say to me.
(36:47):
I'm not on probiotics. I eat semi healthy. I love
a arugula salad. I don't. I have to lower my
shrimp and t because of cholesterol. But I work out
every other day forty minutes on the bike into the
pool right there is that A big one, a giant one.
(37:10):
And I don't drink the eight gallons of water. I
love sparkling water. I do diet, coke once a day,
coffee once a day, don't smoke, don't drink, haven't drank
for sixteen and a half years. So probiotics is a
question for me. Is that something I take Swiss Chris
(37:31):
two tablets every night to keep regular.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
So probiotics if your gut health is in balance, and
it can be unless you've had something extraordinary like I have,
wheor your diet is really poor and it doesn't sound
like your says. It sounds like it's a variety, and
that's really good variety of lean meat. I'm not a vegetarian,
but I'm not a super meat eater. But I have
(37:59):
learned that there are components of food you can't get
any other way unless you want to do a supplement.
So a diet that's got a lot of variety in
it of good food. It's not processed foods. The variety
isn't Burger King, McDonald's and Taco Bell. That's not what
I mean, or out West In and out Burger. That's
not what I'm talking about talking about. Is you know,
(38:20):
some salads, lean meats, some vegetables, and of course something
that you like. You know, certain breads are fine. It
really depends on what the person's where they are in
that journey. Because I spent a lot of time helping
people correct things, which is a lot harder than to
(38:40):
do it the other way. You know, I have the
benefit of having learned a lot of this stuff early
twenty three, and it's benefited me. It was always the
benefit about skin issues. That's really what I focused on
in my forties, because that's what the book was about,
and that's what people need it. But as I got
(39:01):
older and people started to go, Okay, you don't look older,
and I mean I do. If you go back and
look at me on TV in my forties, I look
older then. I look older now that I did then,
But then I didn't look forty. So you know, TV
producers were having the same thing. They'd come and go,
where's Chris Gibson and look at me, Yeah, look kind
(39:23):
of young to be forty, And I'm like, well, what's
forty supposed to look like. I don't know. So, you know,
it really is where you are. If things are working
for you and you feel good and your biomarkers are good,
there's not a lot of stuff you need to change.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Now. I just got diagnosed with a problem that you
were talking about. I had a world tour all planned
and they grounded me with two DVT blood clots. So
now I'm on blood dinners for the rest of my
life because this is my second violation, first one in
nineteen nineties six. So how is that gonna do.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I've never been one of the debunk medical science either,
because there are medications that help people with all sorts
of things, and again, it's really what's going on with
the individual person.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
I am pissed because I've I'm one of the rare
people that's not on any medication.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I've never had anything either.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Right, I never had COVID. I have the centrum every day,
and now I have to do a centrum with a
blood dinner.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah, I mean you just have to you know, you
have to watch that and and I'm not sure they test.
My mom was on those that the new generation of
blood dinners are not nearly as bad as those, right,
the ones that.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Were before I was on couma in.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
That was awful. That was when my mom was on Yeah.
So yeah, I mean the biggest thing, You're gonna have
to watch some of the things that you eat. Make
sure doesn't interfere. But yeah, and everybody's chemistry is a
little bit different. And as you get older, I mean,
none of us are going to be here forever. I
don't care how good I do what I do. Yeah,
at some point I won't be here. But my thing
(41:11):
has always been the Abraham Hicks thing, happy healthy, happy health.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Oh wow, I should have known. I should have known,
you know.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
So as long as I feel good and vital, and
I have a lot of energy, which I do, which
is another reason people don't think i'm my age. I'm
happy with that. If I go to bed one night,
you know, if I've done whatever, and I do my peloton,
I don't run anymore because they don't want me to
wear out my joints. My joints are in I have
(41:41):
no arthritis. My cartilage is fine, but you know they
start to go, well, you're sixty one or is one
put it? You know, pretty on the outside, rotten on
the inside. I'm not really. It's a joke the doctor
was making about age. But I don't have those age
related issues. So we're now it's preventative. What can I
do to get further down the line in the shape
(42:03):
I'm in now like, I don't have trouble getting out
of bed. I my demon is sleep, which has always been.
So I'm beginning to wonder if, like everybody's sleep is
just different, you know they have all.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
These Yeah, how much sleep do you get?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Five to six hours?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Me too, And I get yelled at all the time
because you need sevenary.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I go, I fine, it's not. In fact, it's not
impacting anything. I don't have brain fog, so so sleep
is an issue for me. But I've always been like that.
There were times when I was in school it drove
my mom and that said, I didn't go to bed,
oh watching TV. Okay, black and white TV, but TV.
(42:48):
I stayed up all night and I go to school
the next day. She's like, I don't know how you
do that.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Have you ever been diagnosed for ADHD or eighty eight?
Speaker 4 (42:57):
No, they tried. I tried to diagnose me as hyperactive,
which was very typical in the sixties and seventies. And
they tried to give me riddle in which I gave
duly to my mom's ivy plant, which was beautiful. They
took me off. They took me off sugar, which was
not a bad thing in hindsight for anyone. But then
(43:21):
foods were not high sugar. When I was a kid,
if you got you didn't have all this stuff in
your food didn't so and I wasn't never an overweight kid.
I was skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny until
I turned thirty five, and then I got fat and
I had to look at what I was eating and
how much of it. So I've I'm really good. I
(43:43):
think at making changes as they come along. But you know,
sleep is just I don't I will. I mean, I
have the luxury. I have the luxury if I have
a period where and there are some days because YouTube
is hard, but I do as hard in the fact
that it's very time consuming and there's a lot of
(44:04):
moving pieces.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
But if what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah you do. If I have to sleep, I just sleep,
like if it's three o'clock, then I go and I
sleep until six. Yeah, I'm assuming I see what the
dogs do. Like when I'm sleepy, I sleep. If I can,
I have the luxury to do that. I will tell
one of my business partners. I'll say, look, I'm offline
for the next I'm sleepy today for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Right, and I'm going to go sleep and I'll.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Be back at it at six and I may.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
You know, well, I have eight jobs and I get
a lot done because I don't need that much sleep.
And people go, well, maybe that's why you got put
blood cletches, because you need to slow down, and it's like,
I don't. I don't tell me that because I'm not exhausted,
I'm not tired. I'm happy. So I know a year's
(44:55):
gonna know what a day does. And I don't know
why this happened. I know I will find out, but yeah,
so I'm glad to hear that someone else has has
not the recommended sleep.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
I think too, that it's that the brain is so engaged,
and I would rather have an engaged engage learning new things.
There was a thing a study just came out because
you're like me, I read everything. A study came out
that said that, you know, people who learn new things
create new neural pathways. And my mom is bad as
(45:28):
her health was in some ways, her brain was fine.
I mean the day she passed away, she said I'm
leaving mmmm, And you know they're like, no, she'll be in.
We're gonna put her in a hospice. Brother, God, no,
she's my grandmother did the same thing. She's leaving. She
was gone two hours later. Wow, you guys went to
sleep on the machine and was gone. And they're like,
I'm like, yeah, it's the American Indian thing in them.
(45:50):
I don't know, but they when they are ready, they
just go yeah. So but her brain was fine, she's
cracking jokes like she's very you know. And then you
see all of the and I'm not taking away from
their finding things that are creating issues with dementia. My
sister just went through a whole thing with having been
ambient for a whole for too long, and she was
(46:13):
having some issues. So they're learning that these long term
medications and I know top medical doctors and I'm not
going to name names because they would kill me. That
tell you the longer you can stay off of medications,
the better off you're going to be. Makes sense, right,
because all of them impact your liver and kidneys over
time of course the animal Yeah, just like what.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
My main effects they are.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
So yeah, you know, take your mesage. Don't not saying
don't do no, no.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
No, no no, I understand, but things like ambient things like
you know, cholesterol, all of those things. Pharmaceutical companies don't
release the truth around side effects because their main effects,
and now nobody takes it seriously because they rattle it off,
and it's like, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
Tell you this. I got to tell you, yeah, because
my mom is in my head up there telling me this.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Okay, true.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
They put her on steroids, which were helpful, but then
she was not having she was having trouble with her
seeing because again, over time they cause problems. And I
don't forget this. I was there. The nurse comes in
and she's complaining. She said, why am I having all
these side effects? And she goes, it's because you've been
on steroids for four and a half years. That's a
(47:31):
long time for a human to be on steroids, and
you it has side effects that are irreversible, like the
vision and all this sad. She goes, well, why did
anybody tell me that? She goes, Well, you wouldn't have
taken them if we told you. That was like going
if that is not what you just said, that's why
they I believe in that. That's why I shot right
into my head.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:52):
That is a prime example of the thinking and that
nurse didn't think anything of that conversation was bad. Yeah,
you sat there and wow.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Like, in what universe do we take a drug to
help a drug that doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (48:12):
In what universe do we need your your depression medication
doesn't work, so let's take another one to help your
depression medication? I mean, in what world is that?
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
And it's on the air and people hear it and
they don't even go, what's wuck with that?
Speaker 4 (48:29):
Yeah? The only stack I want to be on is
fish oil, vitamin K two and D three C stack.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
I have another myth I want to ask you about.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
I have heard that all the stuff that's marketed now
with big name companies for skincare, all of them do
not do anything because the molecules are too big to
actually be absorbed into the skin, and you only will
get that intensity with perscribe ride medicated creams and stuff.
(49:04):
Is that true? Not true?
Speaker 4 (49:05):
Partly true?
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (49:07):
For it will take collagen, because I know we don't
have all that. We'll take collagen. It's very confusing to people.
There are collagen itself, and then there are collagen peptides,
which are the acids that collagen uses to create itself.
That's the molecules. So collagen in a cream, while it
will be hydrating to your skin, the surface of your skin,
(49:27):
which is a dead layer to protects you from all
of this stuff out here, it's not going to create
collagen in your skin. Very confusing because again they use
the word collagen. The molecules are too big. They won't
go anywhere except the surface. Collagen peptides. However, amino acids
will and can be as the word to buy your
skin as long as you're exfoliating and getting enough of
(49:49):
the dead skin off, which is where prescriptions coming in
in a second, to be helpful, more helpful in the diet,
super helpful if they're in your diet and also in
your skin care. So we have like copper peptides you've
heard about all of those. Those things are actually molecular
and can affect change through the surface of the skin.
(50:11):
Most things FDA regulations included prevent them from giving you
anything unless it's prescription level that can sink far enough
into the skin to be involved with the blood blood vessels.
So that's the blood skin barrier. We have that blood
brain barrier. Blood skin barrier, same kind of thing. So
prescription level being stronger is usually more effective. But even
(50:36):
with tretonoa and retinoic acid, which is still like the
king of all of those, although exosomes are starting to
kind of take over. You'll probably be hearing about that
from your dermatologists as we move along. Even the retinoic
acid molecularly takes time to affect a change in your
skin years, although if you use it for years, your
(50:57):
skin really looks great. I mean, it helps to create
of new blood vessels, it helps the creation of collagen.
Can you get that from a retinol? You're going to
get some of that over time, but nothing like you
would if it's prescription strength. But as you already know,
it's very strong and you have to start very low
dose and work your way up. Not everybody can tolerate it,
(51:21):
some people not at all.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
So yeah, that's great info.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
If you've just tuned in your what's going on in
studio today? I have live with me Chris Gibson, who
is a just a fountain of fabulous knowledge around skincare.
He actually practices what he teaches, He looks like what
he teaches.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
He's also a.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Fellow multi hyphen it, and I collect those because that
whole stupid expression jack of all trades, master of none.
I want to eliminate that from the vocabulary in life,
because y'all can do whatever you put your heart, mind
and soul to and Lord knows, we only have this
lifetime to do it. So just go out and grab
(52:08):
life by the balls so that you can enjoy every
single day as if it's your birthday. Chris, So, what
are the main things that people need to understand in
order to protect or do the best thing for their
skin that they're doing and it's just like useless or
(52:29):
they're not doing and they should be.
Speaker 4 (52:32):
Okay. Hydrating internally, making sure you get water, not a
thousand gallons of water, but enough water that you stay hydrated.
Your skin needs it and your body needs it to
flush stuff out. Yes, ice cubes count in your iced tea,
but you really do need to make an effort to
have water. Hydration is probably the number one thing that
makes skin look older on top of sun damage. Seventy
(52:56):
ninety to be sun damaged, but even with proper hydration,
it's going to look better. And then external hydration, you know,
understanding your environment is that air. It is a humid
and making sure your skin is protected those are that
is like the keystone to everything. Protecting your skin so
(53:17):
it can regenerate. Because it does that every night between
ten and three am, you're going through a repair cycle.
That's why if you've ever noticed when you have a
cut or sore, or surgery or a scab, it does
most of the healing overnight. I mean you wake up
and it's like, wow, that looks a lot better. Even burn.
People think it's because you're sleeping, and no, it really
(53:38):
is when your body switches modes to take out the
trash and replace those cells with healthier cells.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
So even if you're not sleeping at ten pm, I
mean you don't sleep till like twelve or one, it
still starts at ten.
Speaker 4 (53:51):
It starts at ten, you're not going to get as
much juice out of it. But over time, I mean,
your body's going to adjust to some degree. But typically
they've done enough studies on this, and then I've seen
enough research that really I try to be asleep by
midnight if possible. It's gonna start. It's just gonna it
determines on how your deep sleep starts where it starts.
(54:14):
That's why people don't get enough sleep that they need.
And everybody is different. That's when we say you need
your beauty sleep if you're not getting enough rest. Like
when I have a lot of social things going on
and I'm late, I still have to get up in
the morning, dogs out, I still have to answer you
know all this stuff. My eyes was tired, Like I
(54:37):
will go get my ice. I have this stuff that
I put on these patches on my eyes, ice cold
to try to help alleviate that tiredness, so I will
look tired.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Uh huh, I mean I do splash of cold water
first thing.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
That water is.
Speaker 4 (54:52):
Good, Yeah, get a bowl, put some.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Ice first thing in the morning. Is that okay?
Speaker 4 (54:57):
Yes, it's it's that circulation moving. It wakes you you.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Up right right right, It gets like coffee for my face.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Really does help. But yeah, so that in protecting your skin, now,
you need some sun and there are studies coming out
they're going to be shocking a lot of people. There
are studies that Dr Berg is talking a lot about
this right now, where skin cancers are happening, where people
don't use sunscreen, where they don't even get sun so
a lack of sun, a lack of vitamin D, very
(55:25):
big problem you have to overcome. So you need some sun.
And I will go on record as saying that you
need some sun. Not all day laying out baking for
hours on end, but you need either early morning, late
afternoon sunscreen free sun. You need some you some.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
Wow, I'm solar powered.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
They're going to be outside all day in the sun.
You need to wear sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 4 (55:51):
That's just a given hydration.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
Four gallons, I mean four cups.
Speaker 2 (55:56):
Well, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (55:57):
The thing is eleven cups for guys, nine cups for girls.
That's kind of.
Speaker 3 (56:01):
Been the nine cussing nine cups.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Water, which is not a whole lot. I mean it
sounds like a lot more than it is.
Speaker 3 (56:07):
And does sparkling water count?
Speaker 4 (56:09):
Yes, oh longs is not sugar water. If it's just
fizzy water, still water?
Speaker 3 (56:14):
Still Well, it's zero calorie flavored fizzy water.
Speaker 4 (56:18):
That's fine. Yes, you say I'm drinking smart water not
to plug then yeah, I like still. I like distilled
water because studies have shown that distilled water acts as
a vacuum when you drink it and actually helps remove
metals and toxins. From your body.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
What about those mercury things that people are spraying at
me these days, like they uh.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Not merked merchant.
Speaker 3 (56:43):
Yeah, I know right, there's something that's going around and
they and I say what's that for? And they says,
it just makes you feel more alive. And it's like
you're letting people spray stuff in your mouth that you
don't even know what it is.
Speaker 4 (56:55):
I don't know what that is, and they wouldn't go
in mine, not till I've not till I've looked it up.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
Oh, I'm so tempted to say something now, but I won't.
Speaker 3 (57:05):
But we are at the end of the show.
Speaker 4 (57:08):
You should always know what's going in your mouth, especially,
doesn't matter what it is or where it from.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
That's why I say I don't swallow anyway. So do
we have.
Speaker 3 (57:23):
A final thirty second word? I'm afraid to ask.
Speaker 4 (57:26):
A final thirty second word? Um, yeah, just start whatever
news you need to do. You know what it is,
whether it's the weight loss or exercise or walking or
more water, or going to the doctor and having the
check up for the first time in thirty years or
the dentist, Just do it and start. Just get it's
(57:49):

my studio, christ Gipse. Welcome.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
Well, I'll take that.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Oh okay, good. I was wondering.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
You know, when people say that was quite a you
never know if it meant.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
To my life just flashed before my eyes.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Well, when this podcast show number one, four hundred and
forty six over six hundred and ninety two consecutive weeks,
it's kind of like, Okay, I've been doing this a
little bit and I better have it memorized. Although it's changed,
there was a point when Kardashian was doing some good things,
so I had to take that out of the lineup.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
But you get the yes.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yes, And I love to start every show with breakfast
with my guest or co host or myself.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
And it's a good life habit, a hashtag.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Discipline that I probably started like three or so years
ago where I have my guests as well as my
listeners and watchers on my YouTube TV channel. I'm going
to ask you how you I don't know if you
have Do.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
You have kids?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Oh you don't have kids.
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Oh well dogs just dogs.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Well you're a fur dad.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
But my kids are kind of embarrassed that their mom
is a YouTuber and you are a YouTuber.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
But I start with gratitude.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
So the top of the bun, when we take a
bite of my gratitude sandwich, top of the butt is
what you're grateful for outside of yourself and then the
bottom of the bun is what are you grateful for
inside of yourself? Something I want to model for y'all
before you go to bed tonight. So we'll start with
what are you grateful for outside of yourself? I'll start
(04:32):
I am grateful for the taste of my coffee in
the morning's There's just something so delicious about it. Because
I'm probably going to be told that I shouldn't be
drinking coffee by a skincare expert, but that's okay, We'll
just start, Okay, what are you grateful for? Chris, Well, you.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
Know that's always a little bit blank. But outside of myself,
I am grateful or where I'm living at this point
in my life, and that moved all over. I've been everywhere.
I started in Texas, I lived in the mid South
and around Nashville, and then sometime in Memphis, and then
I lived up north in the snowy part of the
(05:16):
Northeast and did that for twenty eight years. So that
was a great chapter. And now I'm I wanted the
beach next, so I did that. I've been here twelve years,
so this has been a real experience. I'm really grateful
for that because I've met all these different people by
moving around, and I have plans everywhere, so I don't
know what's next to be grateful for. Maybe the West
(05:38):
Coast will be in the future for me.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
Which beach are you?
Speaker 4 (05:44):
The Tampa the East? I mean the western side of
the state, Tampa. Saint Pete's where I'm at. Oh, where
I'm where I'm currently located. And it's hot as hades
right now, so that shaves a little of the gratitude
off that, you know, when we get to the October November,
you say for January and on, I'm very grateful that
I'm here and not dealing with snow anymore.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
So well, well, I'm on the better side of the
coast for beaches. I'm in a long beach with an
ocean view, So I for me, I am grateful for
getting to see the ocean of abundance every single day,
and that is truly.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
I'm grateful that I have a platform.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
To meet interesting people like Chris and look forward to
the conversation to get to know him today. And I'm
grateful that it's my birthday coming up on Sunday, so
I started.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Celebrating last year.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
No, I'm kidding I love the feeling of vacations and birthdays,
and so my goal in life is to live every
day not like it's my last, but that every day
is my birthday and that is that is like Christmas Day.
(07:05):
So I appreciate my ability to do that. So that's
the bottom of the button. The reason why I do
that is a lot of us are perfectionists or recovering perfectionist,
and we're always looking at what's wrong with us. Ninety
nine compliments, one insult, and you're going to go to
that insult. Instead, I want to encourage all of us
(07:29):
to really feel good about themselves before you go to
bed at night.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
So instead of what I.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Didn't finish, or what I'm not good at, or who
done me wrong, I want you to exercise your muscle
of self love and self care. So that's why I
do this. So I appreciate my ability to.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Love my life.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
What about you.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
One with similar lines? I just turned sixty one in March,
so wow, there's a lot. I'm at that point in
life where there's a lot of retrospect of what went
what goes right, what went wrong, And I'm at that
that retrospect. Now what I'm grateful for is that there
isn't any of it that I'm really regretting because all
(08:15):
of those pieces are played such an important role to
where I'm at now, so I couldn't be who I
am now. I know that sounds a little wow we
hear that, but I mean even the things I did
in college, taking broadcasting lessons, things that didn't go anywhere
that later on benefited me. It's like there was a
plan all along, even though you didn't know what it was.
(08:38):
So you know, I'm at that age now where there's
a lot of that recognition and gratitude toward even some
of those struggles that seemed really bad at the time.
I feel much feel like you could throw anything at me,
and I think I don't. I don't get rattled by Steph.
(08:58):
I mean, I still get mad about some things. You know,
things will irritate you, but in general, I don't get
rattled about things because things work out.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Yep, happens for our divine and best good.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
So I'm just I'm one of those people. Everything will
work out. I tell you know. All my younger friends
you hate when I say that, and I'm like, I
know you're suffering and you're rolling around, but it's not
gonna make any difference. All this worry and stuff you're
doing yourself, it doesn't do anything. So it just takes
a while to get there.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
So yeah, absolutely.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
When I interviewed halle Berry, she said, if you're going
through hell, keep going, and I have adopted that that
whatever I'm feeling, if you can get past the pain,
you'll find the power.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Yeah. Most of it's a knee jerk reaction anyway. That
we have conditioning, as you were talking about earlier, Some
of that conditioning that we have towards things is a
lot of times what's in the way, not the thing itself.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Correct And I almost one hundred percent of the time,
if you have a knee jerk reaction, you're gonna look
like a jerk. All right. That is it for breakfast
this morning. We want to use up most of our
time getting to know all of Chris's wisdom around skincare
and good health and all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
But thank you for joining us for breakfast.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
Folks. I promise if you continue this good life habit
hashtag bliscipline with or without me every weekday morning, you
will sandwich your day in the most positive way. Thanks
for joining me for breakfast. And now for the topic
(10:37):
of the day.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
It says everything is awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
It is Chris Gibson and his uh let's see his
the truth around skincare and diet and looking ageless, which
is what you do.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Unbelievable. You do not look sixty one at all.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I'm not going to share how young I am, because
my my, you know, better be thought a fool than
to open your mouth and confirm it. Better to be
thought young than to open your mouth and disconfirm it.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Right, So there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
But so let's start with did you know when you
were a kid that you would be doing what you're
doing today.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's a really funny question because I knew I would
be doing something big. I think I didn't know what
it was. And like you, I've mentioned, I took broadcasting classes.
I thought it would be a weather man. That was
a big thing for me to be on TV. I
thought all of this stuff, and you know, I was
in theater and debate and I did all of that
that I thought about politics. Believe it or not, I'm
(11:54):
glad I didn't go into that. I dodged that bullet.
But you know I was able to do something big,
and so I went into the corporate world for a while,
even though I had the holistic stuff going on. You
talked a little bit about that I had cured my
own acme, and that's a huge story for me. Back then,
(12:17):
you know, I was told I couldn't until I had
that cleared up, I couldn't really be on TV. You know,
I had an agent. I did bit parts in movies.
We won't go into how many how far back that was,
but there are a few episodes of the show Dallas
I was on as a speaking extra. That's way back there.
(12:38):
So I knew there was something. I knew I wanted
to do something like that in the public eye. But
being who I was and being very driven, I also
wanted to have money and an education. So I worked
two jobs, went to school, bought my first house at
twenty four years old, a brand new house. So some
(12:59):
of that set on the shelf for a while. But again,
as I said, when you look back on your life,
the things you did, having to work with people, having
to be an executive vice president in a business, and
learning the business. So I learned broadcasting to be on
TV and how to be on TV, which I didn't
use until years later. I learned how to be in business.
(13:20):
I learned how to market, how to write scripts, all
of these weird, disjointed pieces that I use every single
skill that I picked up over those years in what
I do today because I run three different businesses. It's
not just YouTube. I have a skincare line. I'm about
to launch supplements, so from a business standpoint, I have
(13:43):
that acumen of years doing that. You have a best
selling book under my belt, so I know how to publish.
So there are a lot of skills that I have
that are just unusual put together. Put My first publicist
was just like, you're just one of those people that
just has these pieces and it's not usually like that.
(14:08):
And I think I have because I dealt with with
humans from a human resource standpoint for so long. I
had One of the big skills I have that's benefited
me as a holistic esthetician, nutritionist and a fitness person
is that I can take some very complex things and
make them simple. I had to do that for years
(14:30):
in the corporate world, so again a skill that I
would have never thought would be anything. And all those
pieces I use them every single day.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
Can you be specific about some of those things that
were really like not fun only because this show is,
especially the first half. I like to talk. I like
to be real, right because you know, especially people who
(15:02):
are influencers and have you know that you're put on
a peestal. The most important thing to me is not
to talk only about success, but to encourage people who've
gone through setbacks to see, you know, it is part
of everyone's life. No one is immute to shataki, right,
(15:28):
and so if you don't mind sharing some shataki only
to encourage people around their own journey, Yeah, and does.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
No one's ever asked me that that way before, But
it's very distinct in my head right away what those
things are. Well, first, overcoming an illness on your own
when the medical community can't help you anymore. It gives
you a certain sense of empowerment. Because I struggled with
that skincare issue, you know, the big thing. My family
(16:01):
didn't want me to have scarring. So the approach still
really with dermatologists is to save your skin from that
because they all feel like eventually the acne will get
taken care of. Well, I was one of those people
that just didn't go away. Child of the seventies on
antibiotics for everything from a cold to tonsilitis, So of
course my gut health was out. Nobody was talking about that.
(16:26):
The food that I was sugar spikes, you know, as
a typical teenager. I got through college eating candy bars
at three in the morning because I worked two jobs
while I went to school. So learning that there are
holistic ways was huge for me. But it all came
from that struggle of years and years. So twenty three
(16:46):
years old, I mean told I can't be on TV
with that type of acne because it was bumpy, like
it's bumpy skin. It's not like just a little pimple.
And so I went to a really top of the
line dermatologists there in Dallas, and they handed me the
same prescriptions for the same things I had tried them past.
(17:07):
And with that frustration and I was really frustrated. I
laughed my own face. I talk about that in the book.
I was so angry at my body. So I went
and figured it out to holistic methods. My family thought
I was nuts until it went away, and then they're like,
what did you do? So that was the purpose of
(17:28):
that whole book.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Would it give me a hint on what you did.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
Oh yeah, I went on a fast. I took everything
out of my diet completely for three days. Then I
did apples only, which there weren't colon cleanses. And you
got to remember in the eighties there wasn't vitamin shop
and all of this stuff. All of these herbal stores
were usually had occult sections in them, and they were
(17:53):
in some weird shopping center at the very end, you know,
that's really what they were. But by cleansing myself and
then getting my gut health straightened out through probiotics, which
Nobode was talking about in the Adies, of course, and
then figuring out what foods were causing the problems and
(18:16):
not eating them anymore, I didn't have I never had
that cystic acne even ever. Come back.
Speaker 3 (18:21):
Wow, now is that the same kind of food for
everyone or is it different?
Speaker 4 (18:26):
Well, we know, we know now that there are some
generalities when it comes to to acne, roseatia, ezeba and
those type of skin issues where there are flare ups
are reactionary type of skin issues that sugar spikes, you know,
uh in too much sugar in your blood can spark
those to be a problem. That was the case for me,
(18:48):
I could drink a regular Coca cola, no bault of
Coca colas, and I could watch the inflammation get worse
within minutes. That's how I really I talk about that. That's
how I really made that connection. Dairy altered dairy is
a problem, especially for women who have adult onset acne
that creates issues in there. Again, digestive health huge. You know,
(19:13):
making sure you have a lot of fiber, things are
moving through the way they're supposed to, and that you're
having you know, a good balance of good and good
bacteria in the gut is really huge when it comes
to these particular diseases. So of course now we have
yogurts and all sorts of things. You got to kind
of work around all the additives that are in them.
(19:34):
But it really makes a big difference for people. And
so when I put all that in the book, what
I did. The book wasn't how to The book was
how what happened to me? Book? The reason the book
did so well and got me on television everywhere, including
on the back when Fox used to do the the
plus and minus thing with you, you know, they bring
(19:55):
on somebody who agreed with you and they bring on
somebody who thought you were crazy. That was just at
the timing of when MRSA and all of those issues
with people in the superbugs from all the antibiotic use.
So I've had divine timing a lot of my life
with a lot of the things that I do. That
(20:15):
was one of those. So then I suddenly went from
talking about skincare to childhood obesity to overuse of antibiotics.
My mother had diverticulitis and she thought I was crazy
when it came to like yogerten, so she hated all
that stuff. In course, they put her on it, they
made her eat it to help with her healing process,
so big negative. That turned into a driver into what
(20:40):
I do. So that was but it was not a
fun The acting was not fun. That started at eleven
and I had it until I was about twenty three.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
So that's yeah, not fun.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
Very self esteem stealing, Like what the hell's wrong with me? Right?
It's like why is why is this happening to me?
Speaker 3 (20:57):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (20:59):
So for that from the health standpoint, and I mean
what I do today speaks to that. And I think
most people that are there aren't a lot of people
like me. There are doctors. I'm not a medical esthetician
do any of that stuff. But they're even some of
the big dermatologists that you talk to, and I've talked
(21:20):
to several of them on YouTube. They all have a
story of how they got they went into that and
it usually is a self healing journey at the very
bottom of the driver. If they're very passionate about it,
there's a reason they're passionate about it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Of course that as you know, that's saying about psychologists.
You know what, what what drives a person to be
a psychologist is childhood trauma.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
Yeah, yeah, you're a psychologist or a bartender guilty as
charged people's problems.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
That's right, right, Okay, So let's go to well, one
of the things that came to mind when you were
talking about diet and absence or you know, watching reactions,
I had Chris work on. He actually came to celebrate
thirteen years again with me, and he healed himself from
(22:17):
stage four cooling cancer with with diet. And people are questioning,
you know why we have rises in autism, rises in ADHD,
rises in you know, all these things that never really
were an issue before.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
H and process food is.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
One of the most common things that came you know,
microwave quick, all that stuff that you can't pronounce on
the label. What do you say to that? I you know,
that's my one of my bs, my one of my
belief systems in h we just we just Oh it's fast,
it's easy, let's eat it. Oh it feels good, Let's
(23:02):
eat it. And that Forks over Knives documentary, and there's
several of them like that fat and something. It's like
eye opening at at how we are like distracted by
mass whatever it is to use.
Speaker 4 (23:21):
A production of food packaged to look pretty and tasty
with salt and sugar. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
Yeah, so you don't use any boatox or anything like that. No,
everything is that true?
Speaker 4 (23:34):
The only thing, the only thing I've been doing lately
I'm doing is testing out new technology which is like
red light therapy. I'm very big on read light therapy,
electromagnetic therapies, you know those type of therapies which are
non invasive but helps stimulate the body's natural ability to
(23:55):
heal and regenerate and rejuvenate. So yeah, no botox, no shots,
no villers.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
What do you say to people who say, well, that's
just because you're genetically because I hear that because of Michael, you.
Speaker 4 (24:15):
Asked me, I'm being honest. It is first of all,
it's insulting. Second of all, I get where you get
that from. It's a it's a it's a cop out.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
It's I'm not saying it. I'm asking you know.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
I know, I know, and I work with people on
this very issue. People.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I get it all the time.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
With what happens to humans is when we have something
that we're dealing with that we don't see, we're empowered.
We look for reasons why, and sometimes the reasons why
it make no sense. It's like, where did you get
that from? Which just watch TikTok with people doing all
these crazy things for the same reason. Well, that must work,
you know, because she put toothpaste all over her face
(24:58):
and now she does have breakouts. And by the way,
don't do that on your face. Everybody has genetic stuff.
Even within my own family. Though my mother took really
great care of her skin, my grandmother took really great
(25:20):
care of her skin. So I picked up habits like
like like taking a shower of night and using moisturizer,
and and then I had the really great grmatologist and
even that we couldn't cure the acne. I learned about
sunscreen early on. My mom was big on sunscreen before
(25:42):
the skin cancer increases that we have today.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
What number for what?
Speaker 4 (25:48):
What number of all you need is thirty five? Thirty
five thirty five you can do for it. There are
some formulas mineral that are forty six that I like,
I talk about on the channel, And that's great. When
you get over that, don't you get too far off topic.
But that's a good question. When you get over that,
it's greasy and it tends to travel and gets in
your eyes, and you still have to reapply it, just
(26:08):
because every two hours, if you sweat or swim, you
need to apply it sooner. And believe me, I'm in
Florida and I'm outside a lot. I'm the very social
person with a lot of friends that we spend a
lot of time outside. And they learned the hard way.
They put on the sunscreen, and then sudden we've been
at the pool for four hours and they're like, oh
my god, I'm burned. Yeah, but but what I the
(26:33):
plus that I see is that more and more people,
even strangers on the beach or the pool, will help
you out like it's a thing now to put on sunscreen.
So like you're you're by yourself and you're trying to
get you can get your back. The total strangers go,
you want me to do that for you, I'll spray
you down.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
So I just look for the cute guy and ask
them to do that.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
There are people that will do that, and I think
that's great. I mean, I think that's a great thing.
You know, for two reasons. One, it's it's being a
nice human. It's nice to see these days people being
kind and considerate of other people when we don't see
examples of that high up very often. And then the
other thing is that it's actually helping somebody protect their skin.
(27:17):
So so yeah, thirty five is about as high as
you need to be, Okay.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
And every two hours?
Speaker 3 (27:23):
What about saunas dry, saunas wet, saunas plunges awesome?
Speaker 4 (27:31):
Reallyes There are three those are three really different strategies.
So it really depends on the person and what you're
going for and your health. Like if you're not well
or you're on certain medications like heart medications, you don't
need to jump into freezing ice cold water. It's not
a good idea. So as we've heard all our lives,
(27:55):
if you're going to do something out of the ordinary
for yourself, always just when I buy your doctor or
at least get some advice from one, if you know
somebody before you do that. Drysun is anything that allows
a controlled sweat of your body does detox you. I know,
there's a lot of conjecture. There's a whole lot of
(28:18):
people in the medical community that still they're always slow.
Like when I was my mother was when I was
in my twenties and she was in her late thirties
and her forties, doctors were telling her not to worry
about vitamins. By the time we got to where I
was in my forties and she was in her seventies,
they had her on vitamins, they had her on minerals,
(28:39):
they had So the medical community can be really slow
when it comes to this sort of supportive care. They're
really great on treating the issue without treating the.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Cause right the underlying Yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
They don't like to do that when're getting better. So
any position that I have in my life is one
that has got a hole list of both approach. Even
the vet that I have for my dogs as the
dual approach because it works.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
What kind of dogs.
Speaker 4 (29:13):
Two Jack Russell terrorists?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Oh that's good. I yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
The funny thing is is the vet is always amazed
when I bring them in because they don't act their age.
When sixteen one's fifteen and they run around like crazy
and she's I can't believe the dogs are that all,
but she goes. But then it's you and she's I
can tell you. I've seen over the years that animals
get what their humans have. So if a human has
(29:41):
stomach issues, the dog has stomach issues. I wonder if
that's because they eat food and then they give because
my dogs don't get human food. Do that? Is it
because of that?
Speaker 5 (29:51):
Though?
Speaker 4 (29:51):
The one just heard me, so they know what the
word dog means. So I think because I'm active there, yeah.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
Yeah, so it's similar to that.
Speaker 3 (30:04):
You they start resembling how you look to if you
long term dog owners. All right, we have to take
a quick break for news, weather and traffic, and a
word from our sponsor. Don't go away.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
This is uh continuing.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I'm getting all my good uh uh personal questions in
there because it's my show and I have an expert
on I'm gonna use them and abuse them. So don't
go away, We'll be right back chuckle.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
Aries to say we'll be back into and too.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
I say peace in peace out, don't go away, We'll
be right back.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
Well.
Speaker 7 (31:02):
She has been dubbed the Asian Oprah and she just
wants all of us to be happy. Doctor Marissa aka

choose is choosing to be happy.

Speaker 7 (31:40):
That's the idea for doctor Marissa Pay's new book call
Eight Ways to Be Happy.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Many of us say, I am my own worst critic.
Nobody's harder on me than I am.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
And my response to that is stop it.
Speaker 3 (31:57):
Why are you doing that to yourself?
Speaker 5 (31:59):
You have to be your biggest fan, because if you can't,
at the end of the day say I did a
good job, who is We don't have to constantly be
angry at the things that are wrong. Why don't we
choose to be happy about things that are right. We
have the choice.
Speaker 10 (32:15):
That's our muscle, and life is so.
Speaker 9 (32:18):
Amazing if we can see it.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
Take back your life with doctor Maurissa Pey.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
And we're back. You're tuned in to take my advice,
I'm not using it. Get balanced with doctor Marissa some
morning show. You're on gayzaa nbcd's radio home to the
Asian Oprah number one talk in the ie. Thank you

Speaker 2 (33:19):
And I'm so grateful.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
I hit my three point nine to eight million impressions
on Monday, So I'm grateful to y'all for proving that
people said this show wouldn't last a year because we
don't talk about headlines, only heartlines, and they were wrong.
So I'm still here. And I've brought very special guests
through these years, and today's exception. His name's Chris Gibson.
(33:45):
He is a very shy, reticent, nothing to say kind
of guy, and sarcasm is another service I offer. But
he has his own giant YouTube channel that you want
to go and free subscribe to him as well. He
has a beautiful home online. It's called Chris Gibson Live,
(34:10):
so it's kind of a play Mind's Doctor Marissa Dot Life.
But I do I do feel like we have some
things in common. Uh, certainly the uh the attitude around
what things happen for pain and life is mandatory, but
suffering is optional. So here's lots of popular youtubes. He's
(34:35):
the skin type. Oh what's my skin type?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Can you tell? Just by the filter I'm using?
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You know what that's that's funny skintop oily dry, combination
sensitive and filter.
Speaker 2 (34:57):
Thank you, thank you?
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Oh that is funny. Yeah, Like I am ageless and
I definitely used to have.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Super whoops lost you there? Uh, super oily skin.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
I was just trying to make you a little smaller
on his I'll just stop sharing.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
But what if I have combo skin?
Speaker 3 (35:25):
I guess right.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
I'm using tretanoan or whatever that's called.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
And is that goodino acid?
Speaker 4 (35:35):
Yeah, it's prescription level. That's good.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yeah, and uh, my esthetician says that it's been working
really well. I've been on like two years and I'm
up to point one.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
And honestly, though I don't notice people ask me all
the time, what I do for my skin, and and
up until the Tretonoan, honestly, I didn't do anything that's special.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
My mom used camellia.
Speaker 3 (36:03):
Oil she just passed, so I brought that back with me,
so I've been using that. I tried botox twice and
I had a droopy I the first time and the
second time. I was so afraid by the look of
the the the assistant who escorted me into the office.
But I said, this is not for me. What else
(36:24):
do I do for my skin? Sunscreen? When I remember
and that's definitely my achilles heel that I'm going to
have to get a little more. And yeah, I really
I'll tell you offline how old I really am, but
because I just don't say it for those reasons I
told you before. So what would you say to me.
(36:47):
I'm not on probiotics. I eat semi healthy. I love
a arugula salad. I don't. I have to lower my
shrimp and t because of cholesterol. But I work out
every other day forty minutes on the bike into the
pool right there is that A big one, a giant one.
(37:10):
And I don't drink the eight gallons of water. I
love sparkling water. I do diet, coke once a day,
coffee once a day, don't smoke, don't drink, haven't drank
for sixteen and a half years. So probiotics is a
question for me. Is that something I take Swiss Chris
(37:31):
two tablets every night to keep regular.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
So probiotics if your gut health is in balance, and
it can be unless you've had something extraordinary like I have,
wheor your diet is really poor and it doesn't sound
like your says. It sounds like it's a variety, and
that's really good variety of lean meat. I'm not a vegetarian,
but I'm not a super meat eater. But I have
(37:59):
learned that there are components of food you can't get
any other way unless you want to do a supplement.
So a diet that's got a lot of variety in
it of good food. It's not processed foods. The variety
isn't Burger King, McDonald's and Taco Bell. That's not what
I mean, or out West In and out Burger. That's
not what I'm talking about talking about. Is you know,
(38:20):
some salads, lean meats, some vegetables, and of course something
that you like. You know, certain breads are fine. It
really depends on what the person's where they are in
that journey. Because I spent a lot of time helping
people correct things, which is a lot harder than to
(38:40):
do it the other way. You know, I have the
benefit of having learned a lot of this stuff early
twenty three, and it's benefited me. It was always the
benefit about skin issues. That's really what I focused on
in my forties, because that's what the book was about,
and that's what people need it. But as I got
(39:01):
older and people started to go, Okay, you don't look older,
and I mean I do. If you go back and
look at me on TV in my forties, I look
older then. I look older now that I did then,
But then I didn't look forty. So you know, TV
producers were having the same thing. They'd come and go,
where's Chris Gibson and look at me, Yeah, look kind
(39:23):
of young to be forty, And I'm like, well, what's
forty supposed to look like. I don't know. So, you know,
it really is where you are. If things are working
for you and you feel good and your biomarkers are good,
there's not a lot of stuff you need to change.
Speaker 3 (39:42):
Now. I just got diagnosed with a problem that you
were talking about. I had a world tour all planned
and they grounded me with two DVT blood clots. So
now I'm on blood dinners for the rest of my
life because this is my second violation, first one in
nineteen nineties six. So how is that gonna do.
Speaker 4 (40:05):
I've never been one of the debunk medical science either,
because there are medications that help people with all sorts
of things, and again, it's really what's going on with
the individual person.
Speaker 3 (40:18):
I am pissed because I've I'm one of the rare
people that's not on any medication.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
I've never had anything either.
Speaker 3 (40:25):
Right, I never had COVID. I have the centrum every day,
and now I have to do a centrum with a
blood dinner.
Speaker 4 (40:33):
Yeah, I mean you just have to you know, you
have to watch that and and I'm not sure they test.
My mom was on those that the new generation of
blood dinners are not nearly as bad as those, right,
the ones that.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Were before I was on couma in.
Speaker 4 (40:49):
That was awful. That was when my mom was on Yeah.
So yeah, I mean the biggest thing, You're gonna have
to watch some of the things that you eat. Make
sure doesn't interfere. But yeah, and everybody's chemistry is a
little bit different. And as you get older, I mean,
none of us are going to be here forever. I
don't care how good I do what I do. Yeah,
at some point I won't be here. But my thing
(41:11):
has always been the Abraham Hicks thing, happy healthy, happy health.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Oh wow, I should have known. I should have known,
you know.
Speaker 4 (41:20):
So as long as I feel good and vital, and
I have a lot of energy, which I do, which
is another reason people don't think i'm my age. I'm
happy with that. If I go to bed one night,
you know, if I've done whatever, and I do my peloton,
I don't run anymore because they don't want me to
wear out my joints. My joints are in I have
(41:41):
no arthritis. My cartilage is fine, but you know they
start to go, well, you're sixty one or is one
put it? You know, pretty on the outside, rotten on
the inside. I'm not really. It's a joke the doctor
was making about age. But I don't have those age
related issues. So we're now it's preventative. What can I
do to get further down the line in the shape
(42:03):
I'm in now like, I don't have trouble getting out
of bed. I my demon is sleep, which has always been.
So I'm beginning to wonder if, like everybody's sleep is
just different, you know they have all.
Speaker 3 (42:17):
These Yeah, how much sleep do you get?
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Five to six hours?
Speaker 3 (42:21):
Me too, And I get yelled at all the time
because you need sevenary.
Speaker 4 (42:26):
I go, I fine, it's not. In fact, it's not
impacting anything. I don't have brain fog, so so sleep
is an issue for me. But I've always been like that.
There were times when I was in school it drove
my mom and that said, I didn't go to bed,
oh watching TV. Okay, black and white TV, but TV.
(42:48):
I stayed up all night and I go to school
the next day. She's like, I don't know how you
do that.
Speaker 3 (42:53):
Have you ever been diagnosed for ADHD or eighty eight?
Speaker 4 (42:57):
No, they tried. I tried to diagnose me as hyperactive,
which was very typical in the sixties and seventies. And
they tried to give me riddle in which I gave
duly to my mom's ivy plant, which was beautiful. They
took me off. They took me off sugar, which was
not a bad thing in hindsight for anyone. But then
(43:21):
foods were not high sugar. When I was a kid,
if you got you didn't have all this stuff in
your food didn't so and I wasn't never an overweight kid.
I was skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny, skinny until
I turned thirty five, and then I got fat and
I had to look at what I was eating and
how much of it. So I've I'm really good. I
(43:43):
think at making changes as they come along. But you know,
sleep is just I don't I will. I mean, I
have the luxury. I have the luxury if I have
a period where and there are some days because YouTube
is hard, but I do as hard in the fact
that it's very time consuming and there's a lot of
(44:04):
moving pieces.
Speaker 3 (44:05):
But if what you're talking about.
Speaker 4 (44:08):
Yeah you do. If I have to sleep, I just sleep,
like if it's three o'clock, then I go and I
sleep until six. Yeah, I'm assuming I see what the
dogs do. Like when I'm sleepy, I sleep. If I can,
I have the luxury to do that. I will tell
one of my business partners. I'll say, look, I'm offline
for the next I'm sleepy today for whatever reason.
Speaker 2 (44:29):
Right, and I'm going to go sleep and I'll.
Speaker 4 (44:32):
Be back at it at six and I may.
Speaker 2 (44:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:34):
You know, well, I have eight jobs and I get
a lot done because I don't need that much sleep.
And people go, well, maybe that's why you got put
blood cletches, because you need to slow down, and it's like,
I don't. I don't tell me that because I'm not exhausted,
I'm not tired. I'm happy. So I know a year's
(44:55):
gonna know what a day does. And I don't know
why this happened. I know I will find out, but yeah,
so I'm glad to hear that someone else has has
not the recommended sleep.
Speaker 4 (45:07):
I think too, that it's that the brain is so engaged,
and I would rather have an engaged engage learning new things.
There was a thing a study just came out because
you're like me, I read everything. A study came out
that said that, you know, people who learn new things
create new neural pathways. And my mom is bad as
(45:28):
her health was in some ways, her brain was fine.
I mean the day she passed away, she said I'm
leaving mmmm, And you know they're like, no, she'll be in.
We're gonna put her in a hospice. Brother, God, no,
she's my grandmother did the same thing. She's leaving. She
was gone two hours later. Wow, you guys went to
sleep on the machine and was gone. And they're like,
I'm like, yeah, it's the American Indian thing in them.
(45:50):
I don't know, but they when they are ready, they
just go yeah. So but her brain was fine, she's
cracking jokes like she's very you know. And then you
see all of the and I'm not taking away from
their finding things that are creating issues with dementia. My
sister just went through a whole thing with having been
ambient for a whole for too long, and she was
(46:13):
having some issues. So they're learning that these long term
medications and I know top medical doctors and I'm not
going to name names because they would kill me. That
tell you the longer you can stay off of medications,
the better off you're going to be. Makes sense, right,
because all of them impact your liver and kidneys over
time of course the animal Yeah, just like what.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
My main effects they are.
Speaker 4 (46:37):
So yeah, you know, take your mesage. Don't not saying
don't do no, no.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
No, no no, I understand, but things like ambient things like
you know, cholesterol, all of those things. Pharmaceutical companies don't
release the truth around side effects because their main effects,
and now nobody takes it seriously because they rattle it off,
and it's like, I gotta.
Speaker 4 (47:02):
Tell you this. I got to tell you, yeah, because
my mom is in my head up there telling me this.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
Okay, true.
Speaker 4 (47:08):
They put her on steroids, which were helpful, but then
she was not having she was having trouble with her
seeing because again, over time they cause problems. And I
don't forget this. I was there. The nurse comes in
and she's complaining. She said, why am I having all
these side effects? And she goes, it's because you've been
on steroids for four and a half years. That's a
(47:31):
long time for a human to be on steroids, and
you it has side effects that are irreversible, like the
vision and all this sad. She goes, well, why did
anybody tell me that? She goes, Well, you wouldn't have
taken them if we told you. That was like going
if that is not what you just said, that's why
they I believe in that. That's why I shot right
into my head.
Speaker 3 (47:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 4 (47:52):
That is a prime example of the thinking and that
nurse didn't think anything of that conversation was bad. Yeah,
you sat there and wow.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
Like, in what universe do we take a drug to
help a drug that doesn't work?
Speaker 2 (48:11):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (48:12):
In what universe do we need your your depression medication
doesn't work, so let's take another one to help your
depression medication? I mean, in what world is that?
Speaker 2 (48:22):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
And it's on the air and people hear it and
they don't even go, what's wuck with that?
Speaker 4 (48:29):
Yeah? The only stack I want to be on is
fish oil, vitamin K two and D three C stack.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Yeah, yeah, Okay.
Speaker 2 (48:38):
I have another myth I want to ask you about.
Speaker 3 (48:41):
I have heard that all the stuff that's marketed now
with big name companies for skincare, all of them do
not do anything because the molecules are too big to
actually be absorbed into the skin, and you only will
get that intensity with perscribe ride medicated creams and stuff.
(49:04):
Is that true? Not true?
Speaker 4 (49:05):
Partly true?
Speaker 3 (49:06):
Okay?
Speaker 4 (49:07):
For it will take collagen, because I know we don't
have all that. We'll take collagen. It's very confusing to people.
There are collagen itself, and then there are collagen peptides,
which are the acids that collagen uses to create itself.
That's the molecules. So collagen in a cream, while it
will be hydrating to your skin, the surface of your skin,
(49:27):
which is a dead layer to protects you from all
of this stuff out here, it's not going to create
collagen in your skin. Very confusing because again they use
the word collagen. The molecules are too big. They won't
go anywhere except the surface. Collagen peptides. However, amino acids
will and can be as the word to buy your
skin as long as you're exfoliating and getting enough of
(49:49):
the dead skin off, which is where prescriptions coming in
in a second, to be helpful, more helpful in the diet,
super helpful if they're in your diet and also in
your skin care. So we have like copper peptides you've
heard about all of those. Those things are actually molecular
and can affect change through the surface of the skin.
(50:11):
Most things FDA regulations included prevent them from giving you
anything unless it's prescription level that can sink far enough
into the skin to be involved with the blood blood vessels.
So that's the blood skin barrier. We have that blood
brain barrier. Blood skin barrier, same kind of thing. So
prescription level being stronger is usually more effective. But even
(50:36):
with tretonoa and retinoic acid, which is still like the
king of all of those, although exosomes are starting to
kind of take over. You'll probably be hearing about that
from your dermatologists as we move along. Even the retinoic
acid molecularly takes time to affect a change in your
skin years, although if you use it for years, your
(50:57):
skin really looks great. I mean, it helps to create
of new blood vessels, it helps the creation of collagen.
Can you get that from a retinol? You're going to
get some of that over time, but nothing like you
would if it's prescription strength. But as you already know,
it's very strong and you have to start very low
dose and work your way up. Not everybody can tolerate it,
(51:21):
some people not at all.
Speaker 3 (51:22):
So yeah, that's great info.
Speaker 2 (51:26):
Thank you.
Speaker 3 (51:27):
If you've just tuned in your what's going on in
studio today? I have live with me Chris Gibson, who
is a just a fountain of fabulous knowledge around skincare.
He actually practices what he teaches, He looks like what
he teaches.
Speaker 2 (51:45):
He's also a.
Speaker 3 (51:46):
Fellow multi hyphen it, and I collect those because that
whole stupid expression jack of all trades, master of none.
I want to eliminate that from the vocabulary in life,
because y'all can do whatever you put your heart, mind
and soul to and Lord knows, we only have this
lifetime to do it. So just go out and grab
(52:08):
life by the balls so that you can enjoy every
single day as if it's your birthday. Chris, So, what
are the main things that people need to understand in
order to protect or do the best thing for their
skin that they're doing and it's just like useless or
(52:29):
they're not doing and they should be.
Speaker 4 (52:32):
Okay. Hydrating internally, making sure you get water, not a
thousand gallons of water, but enough water that you stay hydrated.
Your skin needs it and your body needs it to
flush stuff out. Yes, ice cubes count in your iced tea,
but you really do need to make an effort to
have water. Hydration is probably the number one thing that
makes skin look older on top of sun damage. Seventy
(52:56):
ninety to be sun damaged, but even with proper hydration,
it's going to look better. And then external hydration, you know,
understanding your environment is that air. It is a humid
and making sure your skin is protected those are that
is like the keystone to everything. Protecting your skin so
(53:17):
it can regenerate. Because it does that every night between
ten and three am, you're going through a repair cycle.
That's why if you've ever noticed when you have a
cut or sore, or surgery or a scab, it does
most of the healing overnight. I mean you wake up
and it's like, wow, that looks a lot better. Even burn.
People think it's because you're sleeping, and no, it really
(53:38):
is when your body switches modes to take out the
trash and replace those cells with healthier cells.
Speaker 3 (53:44):
So even if you're not sleeping at ten pm, I
mean you don't sleep till like twelve or one, it
still starts at ten.
Speaker 4 (53:51):
It starts at ten, you're not going to get as
much juice out of it. But over time, I mean,
your body's going to adjust to some degree. But typically
they've done enough studies on this, and then I've seen
enough research that really I try to be asleep by
midnight if possible. It's gonna start. It's just gonna it
determines on how your deep sleep starts where it starts.
(54:14):
That's why people don't get enough sleep that they need.
And everybody is different. That's when we say you need
your beauty sleep if you're not getting enough rest. Like
when I have a lot of social things going on
and I'm late, I still have to get up in
the morning, dogs out, I still have to answer you
know all this stuff. My eyes was tired, Like I
(54:37):
will go get my ice. I have this stuff that
I put on these patches on my eyes, ice cold
to try to help alleviate that tiredness, so I will
look tired.
Speaker 3 (54:47):
Uh huh, I mean I do splash of cold water
first thing.
Speaker 2 (54:52):
That water is.
Speaker 4 (54:52):
Good, Yeah, get a bowl, put some.
Speaker 3 (54:54):
Ice first thing in the morning. Is that okay?
Speaker 4 (54:57):
Yes, it's it's that circulation moving. It wakes you you.
Speaker 3 (55:00):
Up right right right, It gets like coffee for my face.
Speaker 4 (55:04):
Really does help. But yeah, so that in protecting your skin, now,
you need some sun and there are studies coming out
they're going to be shocking a lot of people. There
are studies that Dr Berg is talking a lot about
this right now, where skin cancers are happening, where people
don't use sunscreen, where they don't even get sun so
a lack of sun, a lack of vitamin D, very
(55:25):
big problem you have to overcome. So you need some sun.
And I will go on record as saying that you
need some sun. Not all day laying out baking for
hours on end, but you need either early morning, late
afternoon sunscreen free sun. You need some you some.
Speaker 2 (55:44):
Wow, I'm solar powered.
Speaker 4 (55:47):
They're going to be outside all day in the sun.
You need to wear sunscreen.
Speaker 3 (55:50):
Yeah, got it.
Speaker 4 (55:51):
That's just a given hydration.
Speaker 3 (55:53):
Four gallons, I mean four cups.
Speaker 2 (55:56):
Well, it's okay.
Speaker 4 (55:57):
The thing is eleven cups for guys, nine cups for girls.
That's kind of.
Speaker 3 (56:01):
Been the nine cussing nine cups.
Speaker 4 (56:04):
Water, which is not a whole lot. I mean it
sounds like a lot more than it is.
Speaker 3 (56:07):
And does sparkling water count?
Speaker 4 (56:09):
Yes, oh longs is not sugar water. If it's just
fizzy water, still water?
Speaker 3 (56:14):
Still Well, it's zero calorie flavored fizzy water.
Speaker 4 (56:18):
That's fine. Yes, you say I'm drinking smart water not
to plug then yeah, I like still. I like distilled
water because studies have shown that distilled water acts as
a vacuum when you drink it and actually helps remove
metals and toxins. From your body.
Speaker 3 (56:34):
What about those mercury things that people are spraying at
me these days, like they uh.
Speaker 2 (56:41):
Not merked merchant.
Speaker 3 (56:43):
Yeah, I know right, there's something that's going around and
they and I say what's that for? And they says,
it just makes you feel more alive. And it's like
you're letting people spray stuff in your mouth that you
don't even know what it is.
Speaker 4 (56:55):
I don't know what that is, and they wouldn't go
in mine, not till I've not till I've looked it up.
Speaker 2 (57:03):
Oh, I'm so tempted to say something now, but I won't.
Speaker 3 (57:05):
But we are at the end of the show.
Speaker 4 (57:08):
You should always know what's going in your mouth, especially,
doesn't matter what it is or where it from.
Speaker 2 (57:16):
That's why I say I don't swallow anyway. So do
we have.
Speaker 3 (57:23):
A final thirty second word? I'm afraid to ask.
Speaker 4 (57:26):
A final thirty second word? Um, yeah, just start whatever
news you need to do. You know what it is,
whether it's the weight loss or exercise or walking or
more water, or going to the doctor and having the
check up for the first time in thirty years or
the dentist, Just do it and start. Just get it's
(57:49):
the hardest part is just doing it the first, making
the decision and going through with it. Does I tell
ever just do it?
Speaker 3 (57:56):
Yeah, it's the gospel according to Nike, Just do it.
