1:19
transform your life
1:21
and i'm just reading through this book
1:23
and it's a thick book but every page is
1:25
meaningful
1:26
you know and how long it took took you
1:29
to put together this book
1:31
well the real answer is 19 years you
1:33
know that i've been in this field but
1:35
you know the writing process itself did
1:37
take a couple of years there's over 500
1:39
studies
1:40
but the key is making it fun making it
1:42
approachable
1:43
and making it understandable for our
1:44
communities so yeah i put a lot into it
1:47
okay now tracy what was it about sean
1:49
that you know you just steadfast we got
1:51
to get shine on
1:52
when did you first discover sean oh
1:54
absolutely i mean
1:55
like so many other people through the
1:58
model health show
1:59
years ago and it was me just doing my
2:01
own research wanting to find someone who
2:04
was from
2:04
our community you know from the black
2:07
community and someone who wasn't just
2:09
like an
2:09
overnight guru you know what i mean
2:12
someone who didn't just spend like
2:14
two days in a deep google dive and then
2:17
call themselves an expert in wellness
2:19
like
2:19
sean is so good and capable of
2:23
breaking down the complexities of the
2:25
human body into
2:27
easy to digest facts no pun on on the
2:30
digest
2:32
and so i've just i've just appreciated
2:34
him
2:35
so much and especially when it comes to
2:38
i know you said sway
2:40
looking at food to help with training
2:42
your brain and
2:43
memory is something that i have a focus
2:45
on but also with
2:47
using food to help me with my rest
2:50
i think that we are in the midst of a
2:53
sleep
2:53
revolution right now where people are
2:56
getting outside
2:58
of that you know um all hustle
3:00
everything type mode
3:01
and understanding that sleep restoration
3:05
is a part of the hustle the same way how
3:08
stretching before a workout
3:10
and um you know making sure that you
3:12
stretch after a workout is just as
3:14
important to muscle growth as
3:16
lifting the weights so i'm happy that
3:19
he's finally here so we can hear him on
3:21
sway in the morning
3:23
all right uh well let's get some
3:24
questions going sean i got i can we can
3:26
ask anything right
3:28
that's right i'm an open book let's do
3:29
it all right uh i'm gonna open up these
3:32
phone lines eight eight eight seven four
3:33
two three three four
3:35
five um sean you're a national best
3:38
seller which book has made you the most
3:40
money
3:41
[Laughter]
3:43
hey i said i'm an open book um you know
3:46
the first book sleep smarter became an
3:48
international bestseller so it's
3:49
published in
3:50
you know it's in japan and bookstores in
3:52
germany and slovenia and
3:55
you know south america so it's it's been
3:57
crazy it really kind of sparked
3:59
this sleep revolution that's taking
4:01
place right now
4:02
as tracy mentioned and you know in my
4:04
clinical practice like you can get the
4:05
best mattress you can get your blackout
4:07
curtains i talked about all this stuff
4:09
but if you're not eating the foods that
4:11
build your sleep-related hormones and
4:13
neurotransmitters
4:14
you're really missing the point you know
4:16
because our bodies and these processes
4:18
are made of specific nutrients
4:20
and if i can i could drop a couple of
4:21
nutrients for people to target
4:23
absolutely please do i got the pen right
4:26
here
4:27
all right perfect perfect so one of the
4:29
first ones and some of these might sound
4:31
very familiar
4:32
but we're going to just take it to
4:33
another level today so
4:35
everybody knows about tryptophan right
4:37
we tend to think about it in terms of
4:40
you know the itis you know after
4:42
thanksgiving dinner
4:43
from the turkey but tryptophan is
4:45
actually a building block of melatonin
4:48
right and so we know melatonin is kind
4:50
of our glorified sleep hormone
4:52
so tryptophan is critical in building
4:55
the hormones that help you to sleep
4:57
and yes turkey is a decent source of
4:59
tryptophan but what about folks doing a
5:00
plant-based approach
5:01
so great sources of tryptophan you need
5:03
to get some in
5:04
every day because again build your
5:06
sleep-related hormones
5:08
turkey chicken lobster eggs but then
5:11
plant-based sources like chocolate is a
5:14
good source of tryptophan spinach
5:16
pumpkin seeds spirulina you know like a
5:19
dense green algae
5:20
so there's a lot of sources and there's
5:21
just some of them but we need to make
5:23
sure we're targeting tryptophan
5:25
every single day and i'll share one more
5:27
real quick because this one's important
5:28
too
5:29
vitamin c is critical to building your
5:31
sleep-related hormones
5:33
we know it's important for our immune
5:34
system but one of the studies that i
5:36
cited and eat smarter
5:38
was published in the journal plos one
5:39
found that insufficient intake of
5:41
vitamin c
5:42
directly decreases your sleep quality
5:46
and creates more sleep disturbances
5:48
causing you to wake up more often at
5:49
night
5:50
so getting patients i was working with
5:52
getting their vitamin c levels up
5:54
oftentimes help to reverse some of the
5:56
issues they were dealing with with
5:57
insomnia
5:59
john stevenson is here uh it's
6:01
interesting you say that
6:02
because i i
6:06
wake up a lot at nighttime i've been
6:07
trying to figure that out and perhaps
6:09
it's that
6:10
vital why are you laughing heather uh
6:13
maybe it could be these things someone
6:14
practice these things but how much sleep
6:17
should we get if there's been this on
6:19
age debate about six hours eight hours
6:21
what what's proper sleep yeah there
6:25
there's no cookie cutter answer and i
6:26
can't really
6:27
i can't stand that because everybody's
6:29
unique
6:30
and really sleep is more so than a
6:32
requirement of also your lifestyle
6:34
so if you're under a lot of stress if
6:36
you're working out
6:38
if you just you know even learning you
6:40
know about a big part of our
6:41
memory processing takes place while
6:43
you're asleep so if you're doing a lot
6:44
of studying
6:45
it's going to require your body to need
6:47
more sleep so but the range
6:49
could be anywhere from ideally six
6:52
to potentially nine hours like lebron
6:54
james he focused on getting about nine
6:56
hours of sleep
6:57
whereas we see under under six hours is
7:00
where we start to see a big increase
7:02
in incidence of degenerative diseases
7:04
and chronic diseases like
7:05
diabetes and obesity because a lot of
7:08
those processes that are controlling our
7:10
metabolism
7:11
really get kind of reset while we're
7:13
sleeping
7:14
so six be between six to nine depends on
7:16
you depends on your lifestyle but most
7:18
important way
7:19
is the quality of the sleep you get
7:23
when you're sleeping that's the key
7:25
being able to go through your sleep
7:26
cycles
7:27
efficiently and again a big driving
7:29
force of that
7:30
is our nutrition right
7:35
one more yeah let me get one more i'ma
7:37
jump out of it because i'm falling in
7:39
love with sean's voice what do you got a
7:40
hd mic over there sean
7:46
yeah i'll probably i'm gonna jump out
7:47
there tracy and heather but you got me
7:49
because you you talk about food and
7:51
cognitive performance and how you could
7:53
properly nourish the brain
7:55
um what are some of which foods and
7:57
nutrients are proven to enhance memory
7:59
and focus
7:59
that's what i need to touch on oh this
8:02
is perfect man this is perfect the first
8:04
question is asking what is my brain
8:06
actually made of so we're talking about
8:08
all the parts of the brain the dendrites
8:10
the axon terminals the gray matter the
8:12
white matter
8:12
it's all made from food and
8:16
more importantly it's made from water
8:17
about eighty percent of your brain
8:19
is water it's the most water dominant
8:22
organ in our bodies
8:24
and so one of the studies that i broke
8:25
down in each martyr we found that just a
8:28
two percent drop in your body's baseline
8:31
hydration level
8:32
led to direct cognitive decline
8:35
a loss of things like executive function
8:38
like being able to do
8:39
simple mental math and being able to uh
8:42
reduction in our reaction time and
8:45
coordination
8:46
basically we get dumber when we get
8:48
dehydrated
8:49
all right so a lot of folks even in my
8:51
field some of my colleagues they're
8:52
looking for that
8:53
what's that new thing for brain uh
8:55
function for cognitive performance
8:57
the first and foremost the most
8:59
important thing is hydration
9:00
because your brain has specific gaits
9:03
like if you want to think about it like
9:04
a toll booth
9:05
that allows express entry into the brain
9:08
for water
9:09
so that's number one we want to make
9:10
sure that we're meeting our hydration
9:11
needs
9:12
and a quick tip for that every single
9:13
day for the past 15 years when i get up
9:16
in the morning
9:16
i do what i call i take an inner bath
9:19
so i drink about 20 to 30 ounces of
9:21
water to start my day
9:23
because the one you know the day can get
9:24
away from you and plus a little benefit
9:27
is something called water induced
9:29
thermogenesis
9:30
basically what that means is water
9:32
increases your caloric
9:34
burn just by drinking about 17 ounces of
9:36
water as far as the studies have shown
9:39
can boost your rate of calorie burn by
9:41
10 or 15
9:43
instantly all right so it's a good way
9:44
to start the day so that's number one is
9:46
hydration
9:46
number two i'll share one more and i
9:48
want everybody listening you really got
9:50
to take this seriously this is very very
9:52
important
9:53
our brains when we talk about after
9:56
water
9:56
the next thing that it's made of is fat
9:58
but a specific type of fat
10:00
omega-3 fatty acids these are structural
10:03
fats
10:04
that literally create brain plasticity
10:06
and structure for your brain cells and
10:08
allow your brain cells to talk to each
10:10
other
10:10
so this is kind of important now the
10:13
omega-3s you need is dha
10:15
and epa not ala in my practice 10 years
10:18
ago i tell people that any type of
10:20
omega-3 is fine
10:21
ala is what you find in plant sources
10:23
like chia seeds flax seeds
10:26
that's okay but it doesn't create your
10:28
brain cells like dha and epa
10:30
that you're going to find i'm going to
10:31
give some sources really quickly
10:34
number one food first the highest source
10:36
we see
10:37
is through fish and one of the studies
10:39
that i saw in the book from the journal
10:40
neurology
10:41
found that just one seafood meal per
10:44
week
10:45
did enable test participants to perform
10:47
significantly better on cognitive skills
10:49
tests
10:49
than people who are getting less than
10:51
one seafood meal per week
10:53
so food first then we got fish oil we
10:55
got krill oil
10:56
which is a microscopic shrimp and if
10:58
you're doing a vegan or vegetarian
11:00
protocol today you need to get yourself
11:02
some algae oil
11:04
to get a good source of dha and epa last
11:07
thing i'm going to say
11:08
why this matters one of the most
11:10
incredible studies we found
11:12
if you're not getting enough dha the
11:14
test subjects who got the least amount
11:16
of dha in their diet
11:17
at the fastest rate of brain shrinkage
11:20
all right and this isn't shrinkage like
11:22
you know sway like if it's cold outside
11:24
or you're in a cold tub or something and
11:26
you get the shrinkage
11:28
yeah this is like literally messed up
11:30
your brain
11:31
you can come back from that if you get
11:32
warmer you can bounce back from that
11:34
shrinkage
11:34
this is like permanent brain damage dha
11:38
and epa
11:38
these omega-3s are so important to
11:41
protect our brain that could protect our
11:43
ability to think clearly
11:45
to manage our feelings and our emotions
11:47
this is a big
11:48
mineral deficiency i'm sorry omega-3
11:50
deficiency in our culture
11:52
and i want everybody to start addressing
11:53
this because it really matters
11:57
thank you sean sean stevenson
12:00
listen bro this man really knows it
12:03
this is the truth sean i'm so interested
12:06
in hearing your thoughts and you speak
12:08
about this at length in your book
12:10
in terms of how alcohol plays a factor
12:13
in
12:14
restlessness at night i'm also thinking
12:16
about it in terms
12:17
of our brain's full capacity because
12:20
alcohol can
12:21
dehydrate the brain and if the brain is
12:23
the most water
12:24
dominant organ it's it's interesting how
12:27
alcohol can play an effect to make it go
12:29
backwards
12:30
but a lot of people will have you know
12:32
like a night cap before bed and i
12:34
noticed that you said
12:36
you should you know not that there's
12:37
anything wrong with having a glass
12:39
but maybe mindfully have one two hours
12:43
before bed
12:43
to help your body to um just fully
12:47
digest it and then have a lot of
12:49
a lot of water with it as well can you
12:52
just speak about maybe some of the
12:53
sneaky ways
12:55
that alcohol and it's not when you're
12:57
abusing it
12:58
but when you're having it more regularly
13:00
can be um
13:01
detrimental absolutely this is so
13:04
important because
13:05
this is this is real our consumption of
13:08
alcohol
13:08
has really skyrocketed since all the
13:10
shutdowns have happened
13:12
and you know a lot of folks know this
13:14
but some folks might not be
13:16
aware they might even not even be aware
13:17
of their behavior you know it's just one
13:19
of those things that we tend to lean on
13:21
and just to de-stress just to
13:23
you know have a certain vibe and that's
13:25
okay i'm not this is not a knock against
13:27
it
13:27
this is just the science behind it and
13:29
so there's five macronutrients we
13:31
usually hear about three
13:32
proteins fats carbohydrates but also
13:35
water is the macronutrient
13:37
and alcohol is a macronutrient your body
13:39
can use
13:40
alcohol as energy to run processes but
13:43
here's the rub this is the catch
13:45
when we drink alcohol we cannot store
13:48
alcohol like we can store the other
13:49
things
13:50
so your body will stop burning fat and
13:52
immediately start using alcohol for fuel
13:55
it's a process called fat sparing so
13:58
this is one of the
13:59
kind of dominoes that starts that
14:01
process of weight gain that we see
14:02
associated with
14:04
heavy alcohol consumption so we're just
14:06
wondering like how does happen the beer
14:07
belly
14:08
one of these things is something called
14:10
again fat sparing it changes what our
14:12
metabolism is doing
14:13
and as far as our sleep is concerned
14:15
yeah
14:16
one of the studies that i shared we do
14:18
in fact fall asleep faster
14:20
when you have some alcohol close to
14:22
bedtime yes it absolutely does help you
14:24
sleep
14:24
but the problem is it damages our sleep
14:27
cycles
14:28
it creates something called a rim
14:29
rebound effect where it suppresses your
14:31
rem sleep
14:32
and your rem sleep is where a lot of
14:34
your memory processing takes place so
14:35
taking what people are learning right
14:37
now
14:37
and converting it into your short-term
14:39
memory you know that movie the hangover
14:42
where they straight couldn't remember
14:43
things it's not necessarily just because
14:45
of the drug or the alcohol
14:47
it's because of what it does to your
14:48
sleep and your ability to make the
14:50
memory
14:51
all right so this is very important so
14:53
yes it can help you to sleep faster but
14:55
it's going to damage your sleep
14:56
quality inherently so yeah two quick
14:59
tips is number one
15:02
nature's solution to pollution is
15:04
dilution all right there's a little
15:06
little uh quit there
15:10
basically drinking water helps to dilute
15:13
the alcohol
15:13
faster you know so and also the second
15:16
thing is just give yourself a little bit
15:17
of an alcohol curfew like if you plan on
15:19
getting to bed it's say
15:20
you know 11 o'clock try and cut it off
15:22
by you know say 9 pm
15:24
just give your body a couple of hours
15:26
because your body processes alcohol
15:28
very quickly and also that water helps
15:30
your body to
15:31
kind of metabolize it and get it out of
15:33
your system quicker
15:36
sean stevens sean stevenson is here eat
15:39
smarter use the power of food to reboot
15:41
your metabolism
15:42
upgrade your brain and transform your
15:44
life i'm going to take some calls
15:45
heather would you uh were you taking
15:46
notes about the alcohol when he was
15:48
talking about that no
15:49
no no sean don't let them don't let them
15:52
do that to you about me
15:53
um because you know i'm the happy
15:56
i'm the happy hour with heather b and
15:58
that's my brand i teach people how to
16:01
you know entertain and make cocktails or
16:03
mocktails at home
16:04
but it's interesting to me showing
16:05
everything that you're saying because
16:07
my father used to call it a gift for me
16:10
i've never had a problem with resting
16:11
i'm probably one of the most well-rested
16:14
people ever
16:15
i think that sleep is very under p
16:17
people just
16:18
take it for granted and it's underrated
16:20
and i think that you should rest your
16:22
bedroom
16:23
should be proper your sheets and
16:24
mattress everything so i i totally agree
16:27
with everything you're saying that's the
16:28
reason why
16:29
i'm just quiet because i've sort of been
16:32
living
16:32
by you know what you're saying for as
16:36
long as i can remember
16:37
i think rest is super important all this
16:39
i'll sleep when i die
16:41
i've never been like a fan of that i i i
16:44
just think rest is important
16:46
yeah thank you and that that belief you
16:48
know i sleep when i'm dead
16:50
you're just gonna die faster you know
16:54
you're right you know real talk but yeah
16:57
like you said it's so it's so overlooked
16:59
and underappreciated in our culture but
17:01
again
17:01
this is shifting there's a big change
17:03
happening you know but for myself as i
17:05
mentioned in the very beginning
17:06
i'm very passionate about getting this
17:08
information into our communities
17:10
i'm from ferguson missouri so that's
17:12
where i was when i was in college
17:14
i'm commuting trying to just process and
17:18
digest the entire lifestyle
17:20
that i was dealing with and not having
17:23
access
17:24
all i needed to do was just know what
17:26
was possible all i saw was
17:28
struggle every single day you know when
17:30
i go outside and just to eat i never
17:32
even met anybody that graduated from
17:33
college
17:34
you know so even me doing that process
17:36
well except maybe my professors
17:38
but just going through that process all
17:40
i had to do was get tapped into
17:42
what what creates help what is my body
17:45
made of why does food matter i just
17:46
didn't know
17:48
growing up on food stamps on wic program
17:50
and then seeing today and this is why
17:52
what i talk about in the book as well
17:53
and eat smarter
17:55
the journal the american medical
17:56
association this is our most prestigious
17:58
journal
17:58
tracked the consumption of the foods
18:01
that our government
18:02
subsidizes which they spent bill 200
18:06
billion dollars in in subsidy products
18:08
that show up through fast food windows
18:10
and through the processed food
18:12
that my family ate every meal and they
18:15
found that the folks who had the
18:16
greatest consumption
18:17
of the foods that the government is
18:18
paying for us to eat
18:20
had a 40 greater incidence of being
18:22
obese
18:23
it's literally feeding the problem and
18:25
making us sick
18:27
our government when i say our government
18:28
i'm saying we're paying for it
18:30
that's our tax dollars that pay for that
18:32
food that's making us
18:34
sick you know so i just needed an
18:36
opportunity to see what was possible and
18:38
so
18:38
i'm very very passionate about that
18:40
that's so powerful um that you say that
18:42
sean stevenson is here i'm gonna take
18:44
your phone calls
18:46
and listen you may not be able to get in
18:48
because the phones are lit up and we
18:50
only have a few more minutes but if
18:51
you could follow sean on social and sean
18:54
give out your social for folks to follow
18:56
you
18:58
perfect yeah i'm at sean model s-h-a-w-n
19:01
model on ig and on twitter as well
19:04
okay man arnold from new hampshire quick
19:07
question go for it
19:08
grand hey how ya'll doing
19:12
um sean i got a question for you um
19:15
my health is great i eat well but
19:18
i smoke weed um i don't use it
19:22
but like you guys were talking about
19:23
sleep um i use it so i can
19:25
so i can have a full night sleep but i
19:28
notice when i don't smoke weed i dream i
19:30
have great dreams but when i smoke weed
19:32
i don't so
19:33
am am i hurting my health
19:36
by continuing smoking
19:40
wow thank you for that question man and
19:41
this is i'm sure a lot of people
19:43
wonder this thing so in my in my
19:46
practice
19:47
i work with folks who had like they
19:49
would smoke just so they could sleep
19:51
well at night
19:52
you know and so one of my colleagues and
19:54
he actually has the front quote on my
19:56
book dr daniel ayman
19:57
he has the largest database of something
19:59
called spect imaging
20:01
so actually looking at the brain instead
20:03
of just guessing that there might be
20:04
something wrong
20:06
and he has the this massive study
20:09
finding how
20:10
smoking weed especially chronically
20:13
right it's not again like
20:14
here and there or even their cbd
20:16
products there's so much
20:17
potential benefit but once we become
20:20
incredibly dependent on it it starts to
20:23
create accelerated aging in the brain
20:25
all right so we just have to be mindful
20:27
of that you know over abuse of anything
20:29
can hurt us
20:30
so and as far as your questions
20:32
specifically may be you know with sleep
20:34
and your dreams this is giving you a
20:36
direct indication on how it is affecting
20:38
your cognitive performance
20:40
and your brain is it good is it bad i
20:43
don't know
20:43
you know we gotta you gotta kind of map
20:45
it out and see and weigh the
20:47
the cost benefit analysis for yourself
20:49
but if you feel
20:50
because you're calling in right now if
20:51
you feel like hey maybe i'm relying too
20:53
heavily or leaning too heavily
20:55
on this substance you know maybe it's
20:58
time for us to
20:59
start to add in some other things that
21:00
bring you joy that bring you peace that
21:02
help to reduce stress
21:04
that create that vibe of of peace and
21:07
kind of
21:07
you know happiness and focus on whatever
21:09
it is that we're looking for
21:11
uh with that particular substance so i
21:12
hope that helps that that helps right
21:14
arnold
21:16
yeah oh it's all man i'm talking to sway
21:18
so
21:19
hey hey hey man yeah it's a win-win
21:22
you're a citizen
21:24
ah this is so interesting you know that
21:27
weed question is popular here at shade
21:29
four
21:29
five uh that aging do you think is a
21:32
ways to reverse the aging on the brain
21:35
absolutely that's the beautiful thing
21:37
about us we're so resilient and our
21:39
brain is incredibly resilient
21:41
but you know like i mentioned earlier
21:43
the biggest deficiency that's hard to
21:44
come back from
21:45
is deficiency in dha and epa omega-3s
21:49
but yeah what he's seen on those scans
21:51
is that simply by backing off
21:53
you know for example what what what the
21:55
spect imaging is is blood flow blood
21:57
flow to the brain
21:59
in specific areas of the brain so we can
22:01
increase that improve that blood flow
22:03
but the big thing is
22:04
moving away from the thing that's
22:06
causing the suppression of the blood
22:07
flow
22:08
but then we can add in there's so many
22:09
wonderful things that we could do to
22:11
enhance it
22:12
and reverse any kind of damage so yeah
22:14
absolutely
22:16
okay y'all uh we got maya on the line
22:18
from los angeles grand rises
22:21
hey maya hi guys thanks for taking my
22:25
call i just have two quick questions
22:26
because i know you guys got to go
22:28
um my son who is an athlete he is really
22:31
into
22:32
eating just protein right now and i feel
22:35
like he's not eating enough
22:36
because he's still growing he's 17 and i
22:38
feel like he still has room to grow
22:41
so i'm pushing him to eat more and he's
22:43
really all about eating clean
22:45
and i'm just wondering if that's hurting
22:47
his growth by just eating
22:49
a lot of protein and not more fatty
22:52
stuff he doesn't eat vegetables that's
22:53
the problem too
22:56
yeah i listen i've got a a a son
22:59
a 20 year old son and i got a
23:01
nine-year-old son and so i know my son
23:03
right now my oldest son
23:05
he plays football so he's been he's been
23:07
all about that
23:08
for quite some time but also there's
23:10
just a balance there too so number one
23:12
protein is the most important as far as
23:16
the building blocks of our muscle tissue
23:18
of our cellular structure protein is
23:20
incredibly important so that's great
23:21
especially if he's eating clean eating
23:23
good sources of protein
23:25
but for his performance and i just
23:27
leaned into this with my son and also
23:29
his teammates and his football
23:30
team to make sure that they're getting
23:32
in the other nutrients that they need
23:34
you know and so if he's not doing the
23:36
vegetables like my son he'll make a
23:37
smoothie every day
23:39
and just put like you know some spinach
23:41
in there for example
23:42
and you know or some kale right find
23:45
creative ways to like sneak that into
23:46
the body because he needs
23:48
minerals vitamins omega-3 fatty acids
23:50
especially needs omega-3 fatty acids
23:53
to really like anchor in not just to
23:55
build muscle but to retain the muscle
23:57
tissue
23:58
so yeah make sure just get eat smarter
24:00
and just add in a couple of those things
24:02
and also it's really good to come from
24:04
another voice sometimes because as a
24:06
parent
24:06
there's a statement that you can't be a
24:08
prophet in your own land you know so
24:10
sometimes people around you might not
24:12
listen to you
24:12
so bringing in another perspective
24:14
another voice can be really helpful
24:17
thank you and one more question just for
24:19
me if you don't mama
24:20
i have a lot of ear my ears ring a lot
24:23
especially if i have a glass of wine or
24:25
something is that
24:26
something i could is there anything i
24:28
could do about it like i haven't drank
24:29
the whole january but my ears are still
24:31
ringing
24:32
like when i go to sleep at night were
24:34
you diagnosed with tinnitus
24:38
no no my doctor said i went and checked
24:40
it and i was fine so i'm just wondering
24:42
maybe i'm not
24:42
i don't think i drink enough water so
24:44
maybe today i'm definitely
24:46
drinking a lot of water after speaking
24:47
with you okay so
24:49
listen this is wonderful if you listen
24:51
to somebody speak they will often tell
24:53
you the cause and cure
24:54
of what's going on with them so she
24:57
immediately just said you know what i
24:58
don't drink enough water and guess what
25:00
those tiny bones in our ears that create
25:02
the conductivity for us to
25:03
you know create the electrical signals
25:05
where we're hearing that whole process
25:07
it's made from food and it's made from
25:09
water and hydration
25:11
so yeah we got to get those basic needs
25:13
covered you know make sure you're
25:14
getting your hydration right make sure
25:16
you're getting the essential nutrients
25:17
vitamins minerals
25:18
and again especially your omega-3 fatty
25:20
acids to really support and create
25:22
healthy structures
25:24
you know and also of course just moving
25:26
on from that really really quickly
25:28
is anything to do with the ears and any
25:30
kind of ringing in the ears
25:32
you want to make sure that it's not
25:33
tinnitus or
25:35
you know there's other kind of like more
25:37
rare conditions but it sounds like it's
25:39
situation based so just being
25:42
cognizant of the situation that might be
25:44
causing the ringing in the ears
25:47
you know just paying attention to the
25:48
body and your triggers and you can
25:49
definitely
25:50
you can manage this hey thank you for
