you call your podcast, Doctor Wycoff, And what is the
(02:16):
nature of them?
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Well, Michael, I have a whole library of from exciting
topics is called Pathway to Wellness with Doctor John Wycoff.
Anywhere you get your podcast, you can get it, and
they're like twenty to thirty minute snippets about topics, and
I think people would really get engaged with detoxification, the
GLP weight loss, the spike protein detoxification, things like that,
(02:43):
things that mainstream medicine may not be talking about, things
that we do every week every day at the Wycoff
Wellness Center. And you're right, we really are focusing January
on weight loss and we are really the leader in
the GLP one weight loss crazess or this method, this
is a great method, will lose weight safely. We do microdosing,
(03:06):
we do regular dosing. We can help you get your
goal safely with the right blood testing, monitoring and support.
So if you're really interested in the GLP one weight
loss program, come see us. We'll get you on that
path to wellness right away.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
It's very cold outside today, so we talk about things
from time to time, like you know, chipping ice and shoveling,
and also the old adage that going outside in the
cold will make you sick. Is that true or not true?
Speaker 3 (03:40):
I don't think going outside so much in the cold
makes you sick. I think what does happen is it
dries out your mucous membranes and your nose and your
throat and broctial tubes, and they may be a little
bit more susceptible to bacteria getting through them. But I
do think the adage of going out and shoveling snow,
(04:01):
especially if you're an older person and you're not really
in good shape, you should talk to your doctor first.
That is a common area of extreme exertion, extreme stress
on the cardiovascular system, and the combination of the cold
weather and then lifting and bending and throwing snow with
the shovel that can be real problematic and lead to
(04:24):
a heart attack or an event. So I would encourage
your listeners to take appropriate caution and be assess maybe
before you go after that big snowfall and try to
clear the driveway.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
When somebody comes in to see you for a pathway
to health, what is the kind of assessment that they
would do in their first consultation.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
We do a thorough history that's about a fourteen page
document before you come in, and we sit down and
go through that with all of your concerns one by
one and all your antecedents. What's led up to this,
what has happened in the past. Oftentimes the antecedents, your
past history really gives me a clue as to what's
(05:11):
going on. Now. We do a physical head to tow assessment.
We do an initial assessment or your citor health with
a test called a bio impedance analysis, very simple, and
then we try to come up with the key problems
that I see the barriers, and then we decide if
you need testing, blood testing, maybe biomedical testing, which we
(05:34):
do a lot of, whether it's nutrient evaluation, genetic evaluation,
things along this line to help give us an idea
of what path we should follow to get you to wellness.
Speaker 4 (05:49):
Sounds complicated, but I know you make it simple because
you're a fine communicator, not just on the radio and
on your podcast, but across the desk from someone who's
consulting with you. Simple question at this time of year,
but you mentioned it a minute ago. How important is
simple hydration in the health of people of any age
(06:10):
and what qualifies as hydration, like what should you drink
and how much?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Well? I think the simple answer is water is extremely
good for people people high quality filtered water. And the
amount is really simple. Take your weight in pounds divided
in half, and that should be the number of ounces
of water per day. Two hundred pound person one hundred
ounces of water. That's a little over three quarts. Now
(06:39):
you can add some coffee or tea and you can
count those as part of that one hundred ounces if
you want to have an electrolyte drink something like this.
This is fine. Really try to get people off of soda,
both the diet sona and the regular sodas, because I
really think they are not healthy for you. But I
(07:02):
think the big thing is is that we are an
under hydrated, dehydrated society. So just getting an extra couple
of glasses of water today and maybe getting some minerals,
getting some salt to the cassium, magnesium, and zinc. You
can do that by adding some salt to your drink,
or you can take one of our great multi vitamin
(07:25):
mineral supplements that we have at Wycoff Wellness or online
at Wycoff Wellness dot com and they're all in sale
this month. You can save twenty percent and if you
contact your office, we can get you up to a
thirty percent discount through our online store. So there are
ways to really save in January. Plus take twenty percent
(07:45):
off all of our great treatment packages this month. As
we ring in a new and healthy New Year.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
Salt comes on the rim of a margarita. I'm just saying,
you know, don't know, that's probably.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Not That's another way I think you could look at it.
The problem with the tequilage that tends to be a
little dehydrating, but it certainly counts.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
As fluids, There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 6 (08:10):
So thank you.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
But you know, maybe maybe u jinatonic or a vacca
soda might be a better choice.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
See, this is the kind of question you can candidly
ask doctor John Wycoff, and you know you'll he'll be
realistic with you if you say, you know, some doctor
might say you have to quit drinking all together if
you want maximum performance. He might say, you know, well,
let's talk about the realistic life that you want to
live and where you want to be and how you
(08:40):
want to feel. It's not just saying you're healthy. Feeling
healthy is what doctor Wycoff does at the Wycoff well
Inness Center wy co f F. Find him online Wycoff
