Internal Family Systems and the Inner Child 3:04 So you have a specialty that you've been putting people through different treatments and coaching, right, with psychedelic therapies and different fun 3:16 guys that your utilizing. 3:18 What is it that do exactly with the psychedelics? 3:23 Just like you were saying, working with coaching, several different modalities. 3:32 I know psychedelics are still a great area. 3:41 But one of my favorite therapies is working with internal family systems. 3:49 Dick Schwartz developed that back in the 1980s. 3:51 It's a psychological approach. 3:53 Its also named from his latest book, No Bad Parts, so just recognizing that, you know, Just like our external family system, 4:03 everybody serves a part. 4:06 The same thing is true with our internal family systems. 4:09 And we developed those parts. 4:13 Instead of trying to push it away, that voice that we don't want to hear, sometimes when we give it a voice is when can really create freedom and happiness. 4:26 Give me an example of that, of voice, doesn't go away. 4:31 So let's say it's that, you know, a typical one is you're not enough. 4:40 You're you not gonna succeed. 4:41 This isn't gonna work out. 4:44 And usually that's a protector part that we developed. 4:48 A lot of our parts we develop as children, specifically out of protection. 4:56 They are so loyal. 4:58 They show up sometimes on a daily basis to protect us. 5:02 And many times our parts get stuck and forget that, you know, we've grown up and we had other experiences. 5:12 So they may stay at that seven-year-old child level. 5:15 We better be careful. 5:16 It's not safe out there. 5:19 And society tells us, just get over it, have a positive outlook. 5:25 And so what we're doing to that part is just pushing it away. 5:30 It becomes like a tantruming child. 5:34 I have five children, and they're all grown now, but as children a lot of times I didn't understand why, especially as teenagers, 5:44 why they were losing it. 5:45 But that didn't matter. 5:47 My job was just to show up and just love them. 5:49 And just say, hey, I don't understand, but that's okay. 5:55 That's a conversation that we can have with our parts. 5:58 So many times, that that a foreign concept of what? 6:03 You know, I'm supposed to talk to this part. 6:05 I am supposed have a conversation. 6:07 And so IFS just provides a structure. 6:11 It provides model of what does that conversation look like? 6:16 What does this want you to know? 6:18 Right. 6:18 You know, one thing that you brought up that I can resonate with, you said that the inner child that's in you, and my business mentor, 6:27 Yadig Tadla, he actually just published a book called Not Enoughness. 6:31 And you just brought it up, not enough. 6:34 This is a topic that we talk about all the time of Since we were kids, we're always told that's not enough. 6:41 You got to keep on doing. 6:43 And most successful people or people that are really succeeding in life, one of the things that they always have in them is that not-enoughness, 6:53 which it can be a gift and a curse, right? 6:56 It can really drive you to where you need to be, but at the same time, you can lose yourself throughout that process. 7:03 And one of the things that I wanna bring up, and I want you comment more on it, is that inner child that's within. 7:11 Because a lot of times myself, I always tap into five-year-old Sam, because five year old Sam is still there. 7:17 Even though I'm a professional, running a business, chairman of an organization, that five years old, Sam's still here. 7:25 So let me ask you a question. 7:27 When you say tap into that five-year-old Sam, is that from a healing aspect or is from, I just want to tap in to that playful, 7:40 excited boy? 7:40 It's actually both. 7:42 So for me, On a mental health standpoint, sometimes when things are getting a little bit too overwhelming, I take a step back. 7:53 I sit down, take deep breath, and I start thinking about, what does five-year-old Sam want? 8:00 Forget about all of this crazy stuff that's going on around me. 8:05 Because for me, when I was, that five-year-old Sam was the one who was always exploring, the ones who wasn't worried about responsibilities, 8:15 The one that was happy, joyful, and you just knew what you wanted at that point. 8:22 Even though you think that the kids don't know what they want, They want they're happy right and sometimes I just have to go back to five-year-old Sam 8:31 that the kid who's just Having fun like enjoying life because we get so stuck in this day-to-day stuff every single day We forget about the five year old 8:42 Sam who just is living life, right? 8:44 so I go on that side, but at the same time, besides just the mental struggle, sometimes I just tap into, like, who is Sam? 8:57 Who is five-year-old Sam. 9:00 And then I can go into detail and say, well, I know who he is. 9:03 He's a person who wants to be social, out-connecting with people, making a difference. 9:10 So what do you think it was that the five-year-old piece that specifically brought that up? 9:17 I love everything that you're saying, and I think, yes, there are two sides to look at that, tapping into that little boy that just wanted to explore, 9:29 was curious, wanted love, that true, unconditional love of a child. 9:36 big thing that can be really helpful. 9:38 Yeah, I would say between the age of five and seven is really where a lot of my memory will go back when I think about me being a kid. 9:48 I don't remember too much of when i was like two or three years old. 9:52 You know I definitely remember I feel like my brain was more developed obviously right around the five-and-seven and that's you know you start kindergarten 10:01 you're being more in these different environments with a Right and you're getting exposed to other cultures now and other other type of ways that people 10:12 are based off of how their household is and I'm Those are the times when I start thinking about me being as a kid now the reason why I don't tap into like when? 10:20 I was a teenager That's where it starts getting a little bit If you're going through puberty, now you got the girlfriend here, 10:28 and distress, there's peer pressure. 10:31 So that's where the real responsibilities start to develop, is when you were a teen. 10:37 I always go back to five-year-old Sam. 10:39 Yeah, I love that, because there are so many things that you could take away from that.
Spirituality, Happiness, and Finding Meaning 10:45 What happens? 10:49 Where does those negative voices come from? 10:52 Why do we need to develop those protector parts? 10:56 Because we get really separated from who we are. 11:00 And I love the question you came back to. 11:03 What does the five-year-old Sam want? 11:05 What is that innocent young boy just wants to go out and play and explore? 11:11 And I think it's amazing also the energy that we give those stories and that belief, you know, the more energy we gave it, 11:20 that bigger it gets. 11:22 And, I work with people all the time that that five-year-old self, my life was terrible, this was awful, and I'm not trying to downplay trauma in any way, 11:32 it's real, for sure. 11:35 But I think a lot of times we get very stuck on the negatives, the bad times, we don't remember the five-year-old Sam, that's important. 11:46 And we get, all of us get separated from who we truly are. 11:52 Whoever you identify with, whether it's God, it source, the universe, whatever that is, that's the image that we were made in, 12:05 unconditional love. 12:07 And that all that that can be. 12:11 When we look at our path, it's just looking at how separated did we get from who we really are. 12:21 And one of the favorite parts about my job is getting to be that guide back to that self. 12:31 I love that. 12:32 So let me ask you this because we're on that five year old Sam, right? 12:37 Now everyone didn't have the exact same life that I did growing up where, you know, my parents are still together. 12:44 You know I had, I grew up in a house of there was four kids total. 12:48 I'm the youngest out of four. 12:50 We would eat dinner at the table together every single night. 12:53 Some people had a very broken household. 12:57 Where there are kids, or should I say there's people that have a lot of childhood trauma. 13:04 And they've never been able to heal from that childhood drama. 13:08 So how does that take a play with what you do on helping people, coaching people? 13:14 That childhood traumas, so when they do tap into the five-year-old child, and there was a lotta trauma back then, I feel like if people haven't been able 13:26 to actually recognize that and heal, accept what happened and feel through it, it's something that you carry with you long term. 13:37 For sure. 13:38 Those parts in the terms of Dick Schwartz, they become exiles. 13:45 They become firefighters. 13:47 And they become huge protectors. 13:50 And yes, they can create major blocks in our life. 13:56 So in looking at internal family systems, or the way that I approach it, is creating that space first. 14:09 Again, turning down the intensity of the energy that we've given it. 14:17 And so being able to say, you know, here is Sam today, and here's the five year old Sam. 14:27 And just asking, just starting off with the, what I do is just start off for the simple question. 14:33 What part wants to have a voice today? 14:37 And it may be five-year-old Sam. 14:39 It may a completely different part. 14:42 And a lot of times, as we start to flesh it out and start go down the path, what a patient came in with, I want to address not feeling like I'm enough. 14:57 there will be a totally different part that comes up and wants to have a voice. 15:02 And it's like really, are you telling me to talk to myself? 15:06 Yeah, exactly. 15:07 That's what I'm telling you to do. 15:10 I know that that's not considered in society to be maybe appropriate, but those conversations can be amazing. 15:20 What do you want me know? 15:22 You know, it's another way of just asking, just like you said, tapping into five-year-old Sam, what do you want me to know today? 15:28 Another way we can look at that is really talking to our heart, talking our soul. 15:34 And it is amazing when we give those parts a voice instead of constantly pushing them away, shutting them down, I want you to go away. 15:44 I don't like you. 15:46 You're not a good part. 15:48 Maybe it's the addictive part, maybe it is the really sad part and it can feel very intense to look at it but we create that safe space, 16:02 that save container by creating space and just saying you're the parent, you are in control. 16:10 and let's, you know, how would you parent this five-year-old part, this seven- year- old part? 16:16 You know you're not going to come in and yell at them and be like, what are you doing? 16:21 What's wrong with you? 16:22 you gonna be, like hey buddy, I may not understand what's going on, but I'm here and I just want to give you a hug. 16:31 Sometimes our parts we've ignored them from many, many years, maybe 30 years. 16:38 And they don't always trust us. 16:39 So they might kind of be like, whoa, no, what are you doing? 16:43 That's okay, you know, I'm here, and I am devoted to showing up every day if that's what you want. 16:51 Let's have this conversation. 16:53 Tell me, what was the event? 16:55 Maybe we don't even remember where this part came from. 16:58 What was event, What happened? 17:01 And in those conversations, we can then allow that part to shift back. 17:09 into who it was really meant to be. 17:12 What is that? 17:13 A loving part. 17:14 Absolutely. 17:15 So one of the things, and you just mentioned again the loving and the part of self-love as well. 17:22 Earlier you mentioned that. 17:24 what kind of effect does having a spiritual belief have on the results that people have when they talk to that voice? 17:33 That's such a good question. 17:36 I think it's everything. 17:38 And when we say spiritual, that doesn't mean religion. 17:41 I know that can be a big trigger. 17:44 People get it mixed up, and I try to put a lot of emphasis on that, I'm happy you brought that up. 17:49 But spiritual belief can mean many things. 17:52 If you want, just give us a few examples of what are some type of spiritual beliefs. 17:57 Spiritual belief is just knowing that whatever you wanna call it, a higher vibration, higher resonation, God, source. 18:10 We are here for a reason. 18:13 And when we tap into that, That changes everything that can change a disease state like cancer that. 18:24 Can change. 18:25 A course of action of taking your life. 18:29 That is knowing that connection having that knowingness. 18:36 Talking personally about my background. 18:37 I say I grew up in now shalt not land.
Breathwork, Meditation, and Energy Clearing 18:42 I'm very proud of my raising, but it was fundamental Southern Baptist. 18:49 And I grew up thinking, you know, I am not worthy. 18:53 I, just, am bad. 18:57 honestly, that was the way I grew up. 19:00 And, um, you know, we're, were gonna move you into submission and it wasn't until I, no, I say the, in working with psychedelics, 19:13 it's the healing. 19:14 I didn't know that I needed because I was fine. 19:16 That was fun and I doing this for my patients. 19:21 Wow. 19:21 Was I wrong? 19:23 And. 19:25 it is a knowingness now from a spiritual side. 19:29 It is not this cerebral knowledge of God of a higher power, of being connected to something way bigger than me. 19:40 I know it without a doubt and nobody is going to be able to take that away from me or convince me differently. 19:46 And so when we have that knowing this, that groundedness, That's flow. 19:54 If you ask somebody, what do you really want? 19:56 And they're like, oh, I want a big house, um, this fast car, a billion dollars. 20:02 Okay, well, why do want those things? 20:04 And when you really back into it, what we all want is happiness. 20:09 And that's what people are seeking. 20:10 That is short lived. 20:12 I think a lot of people have talked about that. 20:15 People have to recognize that true happiness comes within. 20:19 Yes, 100%. I can show you the one person that is as broke as a joke that more happy than the rich guy. 20:29 So for the individual, let's say there's someone out here who's listening to the podcast, and they have no spiritual belief. 20:38 They weren't raised with going to church, they weren' raised any of that. 20:44 And people hear that there are all kinds of things out there for spiritual beliefs. 20:48 You have Kabbalah, you have Buddhism, Scientology, Christianity. 20:54 Where does someone start? 20:57 I think you can start just as simple as asking, what does my soul want me to know today? 21:05 And just listen. 21:08 And if you get zero, you're like, I'm not hearing anything. 21:13 Just start by being grateful. 21:15 Gratitude is the fastest way to make a shift. 21:20 You know, just start, maybe it's in automatic writing. 21:24 Thank you. 21:27 So like journaling can really help kind of create some of that connection that you need with yourself. 21:34 What about doing things like breath work or meditation? 21:39 Huge, huge. 21:40 That's what, I took the red eye here today. 21:44 And yeah, after a couple hours of sleep, and that's exactly what I did. 21:50 I went in, did an hour long breathwork meditation session. 21:56 Somatic breath work, one of my favorite molecules to work with in psychedelic medicine is 5-MeO DMT. 22:06 It's also known as, the natural medicine of it is Bufo, which comes from frogs. 22:17 I don't personally use that one. 22:19 I have an issue with frogs being harmed and, you know, overused. 22:26 So this is the analog version of that. 22:29 They're doing some amazing research. 22:32 A lot of universities are looking at it, Oxford, Harvard, Yale, where they're mapping DMT in the brain. 22:43 And it is medicine that we have in our body. 22:49 Like somebody using cannabis, we had endocannabinoid receptors that react to cannabis but we don't have cannabis in out body, 22:57 We have DMT. 23:00 And we thought that it only came from a release in the pineal gland. 23:05 It's also called the God molecule because it is released when we die. 23:11 and it's released in somatic breath work. 23:15 And it, when we combine that with IFS, internal family systems, it just creates this laser focus of what is that part that needs healing, 23:29 that need to have a voice. 23:31 I am connected to a higher consciousness without a doubt. 23:37 And that's one of the biggest things that I tell my patients is, you know, in working with this, not that you will wonder, 23:46 you know, is there something bigger? 23:48 You will know. 23:50 You'll know that there's something better. 23:52 And how amazing to use your breath, right? 23:54 It's always with you. 23:55 It is free. 23:57 it's just so gracious. 23:58 That just shows up over and over, and to know we can use that tool. 24:06 to access this amazing molecule. 24:12 One of the things that we saw on brain scans was the pineal gland. 24:18 And from EMFs, electromagnetic frequencies, which we are surrounded by, they're not going away. 24:23 We are a technology-driven world. 24:26 but the pineal gland gets calcified. 24:29 When we looked at it on brain scans, it looked like somebody had poured thick, heavy cream over that wonderful little gland right in the center of our brain, 24:42 which is known as our antenna, our knowingness. 24:46 And just with 10 minutes of somatic breath work, and when I say sommatic breathwork, I mean up-regulated breath work. 24:53 So we're not trying to calm the nervous system, we are actually trying ignite it. 24:57 That type of breathwork, how is it? 25:01 Is that when you're taking deep breaths and breathing quicker and getting the blood flowing? 25:05 Yes. 25:06 Wim Hof is kind of the father of somatic breath works. 25:11 He's all about breath holds. 25:12 And then you hold it, right? 25:15 I've seen people actually squeeze their hands. 25:17 Yes, yes. 25:19 And then you release, you know, push that energy up. 25:22 Some people can get, I always say, let's try it together first because it can be a little scary. 25:27 You get really cold. 25:29 Yeah. 25:29 Um, that is the relief that shows you you're doing it right. 25:32 That's the release of DMT. 25:34 T-Rex hands. 25:37 It's good to do it laying down cause you might get lightheaded. 25:42 All of those things are just clues. 25:44 you are on the right path. 25:46 And 10 minutes of up-regulated or somatic breath work can release that calcification. 25:55 It releases DMT, which breaks up the calcsification in the pineal gland. 26:00 There's a wonderful app. 26:02 It was one that I was using. 26:04 I've used it for about three years called Other Ship. 26:08 And it's husband and wife. 26:10 Wim Hof has his technique of breath holds, which is amazing. 26:15 Highly recommend it. 26:16 He has a YouTube that's 11 minute morning breath work. 26:20 That's great place to start. 26:22 Other ship, I tend to get bored easily. 26:26 Othership is a lot of different breathwork combinations. 26:32 Um, and it's really easy organized. 26:34 Like you just open up the app and they'll say up, down, or all around. 26:39 And you click on that and you know, it may be, um, like in my morning meditation, a lot of times I may just have six minutes, 26:47 eight minutes. 26:48 There's a breath work session for that. 26:50 And I can click on that one. 26:52 Today, I wanna go a little deeper in preparing for this podcast. 26:56 I did a 56 minute breathwork meditation session. 27:00 That's awesome. 27:01 You always do guided meditation? 27:03 Or do you do? 27:04 I don't usually do guide meditation. 27:07 This one was just kind of all together. 27:10 One of my favorite on other ships, speaking of guided mediation is called Heart opening journey, oh my gosh, that was beautiful. 27:17 So it's 15 minutes of somatic breath work and then 15 of just loving yourself, gratitude back to yourself. 27:26 And it is in a guided meditation. 27:28 That's amazing. 27:29 I went for years trying to just do self-meditation. 27:34 My business mentor from the beginning, Dr. 27:38 Robert Willicks, who was a former heart surgeon, who went into energy medicine, actually became a shaman, studied with the natives in Peru. 27:48 And he was one of the founders of functional medicine. 27:53 Unfortunately, he passed away right before COVID at the age of 80. But Dr. 27:57 Willix was really big into meditation and about the importance of getting your mind into those delta waves and really resetting the mind, 28:09 bringing it, you know, especially for the people that are nonstop, getting it to actually calm down. 28:14 And I went a while trying to do meditation on my own and I just felt like I wasn't really tapping into what I was supposed to tap into. 28:23 It wasn' until I started doing guided meditation where I actually started feeling more relaxed. 28:29 One of the tools that I use now is called BrainTap. 28:31 I love Brain Tap. 28:33 Dr. 28:33 Porter? 28:33 Yeah, Dr Porter. 28:34 He's a personal friend. 28:35 Okay, yeah, I've worked on a few projects with him and have spoken on the same stage as him many times as well too. 28:42 And I use it and I have the whole headset with the light therapy in the ears and also over the eyelids. 28:51 By far I love it. 28:52 I love his technology, there's a lot of science behind it. 28:55 So, and now he's including some regular music with a lotta famous artists that are out there, where now, he playing certain frequencies and whatnot through 29:07 those songs. 29:08 Yeah, Brain Tap's amazing. 29:09 We're actually talking next Wednesday. 29:11 Awesome. 29:12 Um, yeah, we've been friends for over 10 years. 29:16 I've used Brain Taps in the schools I built for autistic children, in our practice, and our wellness practice in Newport Beach. 29:26 It's an amazing, amazing tool. 29:29 I think one thing that you touched on with meditation is just, what am I supposed to be doing? 29:37 And I think that's a lot of people ask that question.
Autism, Gut Health, and Quantum Biofeedback 29:40 And, I had the most amazing experience this past two weeks. 29:46 I got to being Bali. 29:47 Oh, nice. 29:48 It was wonderful. 29:49 and I worked with five different healers. 29:53 One of the healer's was asked me to do, she wanted to guide me through a meditation. 30:03 It was so helpful and so healing she said you know you take on a lot of energy that doesn't belong to you Probably working with patients working, 30:12 with you, know, biofeedback and things like that i'm like, yeah And she was like and it lands right here and she's right yeah, 30:19 right right in my shoulders and my low back Do you have some kind of pain stress that you usually feel i call it my second my little friend i have a bump 30:28 i That's right here, because of it. 30:31 And I'd always blamed it on scoliosis, but I didn't have scoliosis as a child. 30:36 So I'm like, where did this come from? 30:39 And she was like you really need to work on on a daily basis, cleaning the chakras and removing negative energy. 30:51 And she said, the way that you do that, she was like, talk out loud in your meditation. 30:57 And I was really, I thought you were supposed to be quiet. 31:00 She was, come quiet your brain first. 31:03 But she's like talk loud. 31:06 It has been a wonderful practice for me. 31:09 That's what I've been working with on a daily basis since returning. 31:15 The way she guided me was You know, just connect to source first. 31:21 Connect to love. 31:25 My parents' love, you know? 31:26 Your mother, your father. 31:28 She was like, it may just be that there's a person that just pops into your head that, I need to connect with this person today in their loving energy. 31:40 And call that person's name, connect them, sending them love Setting your intention out loud. 31:49 I am here meditating specifically to remove negative energy. 31:55 And in setting that intention, she was like, then, you know, if anything comes up as a negative in relation to that person, 32:06 that situation, ask for forgiveness for it. 32:10 Every relationship is for a purpose in our life, right? 32:13 It's for us to learn. 32:15 It is to experience. 32:17 Ask for forgiveness. 32:19 And then where do I feel this in my body? 32:23 Send that love, send that forgiveness right to that place. 32:28 And then allowing that chakra flow, you know, from the root chakra up to the crown chakra, back just that flow of energy. 32:39 I can spend about 10 minutes doing that and I just feel like I'm ready to take on the world to start the day. 32:48 That's amazing. 32:50 I'm actually like planning what I am going to do after this podcast and over the weekend just listening to you talk about this. 32:56 And this is you bringing up about you as a healer absorbing other people's energy. 33:03 Sometimes it's good energy, sometimes it is a lot of bad energy right? 33:08 It's negative energy and this something that in the medical industry we've talked about for the years that I've been into it. 33:16 And sometimes you're there at their worst time and you taking this in and it's going into your system. 33:24 And we have a lot of medical providers that listen to this podcast and I think what you brought up is extremely important for them to understand because 33:33 sometimes they just have this weight sitting on them and they don't understand what it is. 33:37 There is a cleansing, a cleaning process, right? 33:41 You gotta cleanse yourself from a lotta that energy that you absorb as a healer. 33:48 So, you know, I remember when I first started Liquevita, and I partnered up with a chiropractor who did a lot of Chinese medicine. 33:58 And he's actually the one who actually turned on my light bulb when it came to that. 34:03 We were dealing with cancer patients that would get the high dose vitamin C IV drips. 34:08 And I told them after a long day of it, I was just, man, you know, we're doing such a good thing. 34:13 We're helping so many people. 34:15 But you leave out of there and you're just like, what am I doing? 34:19 This is just sitting on me. 34:21 Like I go home with this energy. 34:25 it's important to go through that cleansing process. 34:27 Yes. 34:28 Right? 34:28 So important. 34:29 And that's one of the roles of nature. 34:32 It's there to take on our pain. 34:34 Yeah. 34:34 To recycle it. 34:36 So, you know, sometimes it can just be taking our shoes off and standing in the grass. 34:41 We don't have to to anywhere. 34:43 You can stand in grass Connect to that frequency of earth. 34:46 Exactly. 34:47 Some grounding. 34:49 Or, if that grass isn't there you can't get to it right away. 34:55 I highly recommend what this healer recommended to me. 34:59 This past week, it has been such a shift in my practice of going into the office. 35:10 Patients have asked, how is it being back after two and a half weeks in Bali? 35:13 I'm like, It's been great. 35:16 It's been the shift in me. 35:18 Yeah. 35:18 And they feel it, they fell it. 35:21 So let's talk a little bit about your practice. 35:23 Sure, great. 35:25 Let's go into a bit more detail about what you're doing, and I know you work with a lot of children with autism, so you mentioned earlier the different schools, 35:36 I want the listeners to kind of hear some of the things that you are doing so they can understand. 35:41 Before we start talking about this great product Adam, Excited to try, you know, I haven't been able to it yet, but I've talked to you about it, 35:50 and I'm excited to have it now that you brought it. 35:53 So yeah, your practice, what is it exactly that your doing? 35:57 Thank you so much for asking. 35:59 For 30 plus years I worked with autistic children. 36:06 My favorite were the severe end of the spectrum. 36:10 the non-verbal, the self-injurious, aggressive, just because they are the ones that get overlooked the most. 36:18 Their talents aren't seen. 36:22 And, you know, fast forward 30 years, I developed curriculum. 36:30 Passion was seeing them be successful in the classroom. 36:34 I always combined language therapy, working with cognition, and nutrition. 36:44 What made you go into that field specifically? 36:49 I started off, my master's is in speech language with pathology and started of in actually voice disorders in Boston and at that time. 37:03 That was in the early 90s and programs were just getting started. 37:07 So I kind of specialized myself right out of the field and then they wanted somebody with like 10 years of experience. 37:14 I shifted over into the Boston Public Schools. 37:17 From there I went into The New York Hospitals. 37:21 And from New York, moved to California. 37:24 And when I moved into California, the model that I had been trained under in New york, which was very much of an integrated model in pediatrics, 37:33 you know, working with occupational physical therapy, everybody inner trained. 37:41 It's that way in California. 37:43 And so I was quickly told, oh, no, that's not your lane. 37:49 Move aside. 37:49 This isn't going to work really well for me. 37:53 When we moved to California, I actually was eight months pregnant with our second child. 38:00 And it was the obstetrician that I had just met. 38:03 He was asking me what I did, and I was kind of disheartened at interviewing. 38:08 And he was like, you know, I need to introduce you to a child development specialist. 38:17 and it was beautiful. 38:17 It kind of gave me the playground to explore and to work with a lot of amazing, amazing doctors in the area of autism. 38:31 And what I quickly saw was the connection between the gut and the brain. 38:37 I went back to school and started off in first traditional nutrition, That didn't align for me and so I went more in the natural and just started taking 38:56 class after class, the certification, that certification and it morphed into in 2012 getting my PhD. 39:04 Amazing. 39:05 And it said that your gut is actually your first brain. 39:08 It is the microbiome. 39:10 Yes. 39:11 An autistic children have taught us that, you know, they, have been our teachers. 39:15 They were the first ones that showed us about gluten. 39:19 Yeah. 39:20 and they've shown us, that are about our food, the toxicity of our, food or medication, our vaccines, um, or environment. 39:31 a lot of these environmental toxins, which that's something that I have to bring it up on this podcast because, you know, 39:37 obviously we just had an election and part of that election, Donald Trump won and we have Robert Kennedy that is totally pro what we do. 39:50 and wants to get rid of a lot of this corruption. 39:52 And I keep on telling people, this is like our industry winning the lottery. 39:58 All this crap that's been getting people chronically ill needs to be cleaned up, especially our food. 40:04 So what do you think about this MAHA movement, Make America Healthy Again? 40:11 I am a huge fan. 40:13 I'm not big into politics. 40:14 You never know what you're going to get when you are in a crowd of people. 40:28 been on the stage with him at Autism One. 40:33 I have followed his work for probably 10 years. 40:43 I know he speaks the truth. 40:47 I knew where his heart is. 40:50 My devotion's gonna be to pray every day for his safety. 40:54 Absolutely, that's the most important. 40:56 People are saying, oh, you gotta put three security guards on him, not just one, because you know how it works in this world. 41:04 But I've been telling everyone, I don't care what side you're on, blue or red, What he's doing is for everybody. 41:12 It is, it is. 41:14 And he speaks, I have a family member who said, you know, and I know it's in the media that he is giving false information. 41:23 He's not. 41:24 Right. 41:25 Everything he says, he backs up with research. 41:29 If you don't believe it, go look at those research articles. 41:31 I've followed him for 10 years. 41:34 There's nothing that is talking about that's true. 41:39 when he won against Monsanto in that court case, that was huge. 41:46 And I don't even know how he did it. 41:48 When a no touch clause, Obama put a, no-touch clause on Monseanto and he was able to still come back and be victorious. 41:56 Wow. 41:57 He is a powerhouse of a man. 42:02 I am just so grateful for what he has already done and what I think he can do. 42:11 Yeah, I'm excited to see what there is to come. 42:14 And I gonna do my best to participate very closely with all of the efforts when it comes to that. 42:21 So, so going back to, you know, the schools and working with autistic kids. 42:26 So what is it that you've seen throughout those years of working I approached it as every child is a brilliant learner. 42:41 Every child has a talent to show us. 42:44 And just like we were talking about, how do they show is? 42:47 Through their love. 42:49 Through that unconditional love and so just kind of like an IFS, just standing back and asking them, what do you wanna show me? 42:59 they'll show you their talent. 43:01 They'll go to it every time. 43:03 And when they show, you most autistic children learn best through rhythm, movement and visualization, a YouTube video. 43:17 You can take those three components and you can copy it across the board in education. 43:26 anything. 43:27 I've worked with it from beginning learning skills all the way up to college and then I brought in, so that was kind of the cognitive side that I worked 43:41 and working one-on-one with teachers and parents and just saw saw those children who were non-verbal be able to have a voice. 43:49 Not necessarily in speaking as we know it. 43:53 One of my patients taught me heart talk. 43:57 We talk through our heart. 43:58 That's amazing. 43:59 And wow, wouldn't it be nice right now if we had more heart, heart-talk? 44:05 And so in giving, showing their learning talents, We were able to connect that to voice, whether it was actual audible voice or just voice through the heart. 44:20 And they were to have that place be recognized. 44:26 Some of them were about to graduate from high school. 44:30 go on and have a job and Have that satisfaction. 44:35 But again, every single one of them left an impression on my heart taught me something and created the person that I am today and the compassion and love 44:52 that I can approach every patient with. 44:56 When I'm 57 and when I turned 50, I think my knees just gave out from sitting on the floor for 30 years. 45:06 And so I transitioned into my husband's a chiropractor. 45:11 and I moved into a wellness practice with him. 45:16 And so I gave up the school side, still work with autistic children, love it, but began working with more just typical cases. 45:28 When I say typical, just meaning, wellness cases, working with cancer, thyroid, diet, all of those things, and then combining that with the wellness practice 45:43 that my husband had as a chiropractor or non-traditional chiopracter. 45:47 That has been a wonderful path. 45:50 What I brought from working without autistic children into the past seven years was quantum biofeedback. 45:58 This is the exciting part. 45:59 I have to say it for the listeners. 46:02 So the bio-quantum neurofeedback. 46:06 Quantum biofeed back. 46:07 And you were telling me earlier that you can do things through telemedicine as well. 46:15 How does this work? 46:17 I'm not even sure how old it is. 46:20 It's 40 years plus. 46:28 I brought it into our practice in 2007. The first time I saw it used was actually with a doctor from India, and I just, I'm like,
Psychedelics, Adaptogens, and the ADAPT Product 46:42 oh my gosh, this could be autistic children's voice. 46:45 And it was. 46:47 Time after time after. 46:48 I can tell you so many stories about how it worked. 46:54 moving fast forward now and just using it, it works through quantum physics. 47:02 So it's called biofeedback because when somebody is in person, we can use electrodes to have that bio feedback piece, but It also works on quantum physics. 47:15 So Einstein called that spooky science. 47:18 Yeah, there's no time and place and he called it spooky. 47:22 Science because he said, how can two cells on opposite sides of the planet interact and about Three or four years ago, NASA, 47:34 for the first time, was able to capture that in a photograph. 47:39 So if you Google Einstein's spooky science and NASA and you'll be able see these two cells on opposite sides of the planet and they're interacting. 47:51 So that's how. 47:53 Are these cells related to each other? 47:55 Yeah. 47:57 Okay. 47:57 Yes, and so if we go back to spiritual connection, our connection into the cosmos, something greater, that all it is, right? 48:10 We are electrical chemical beings. 48:13 Everything that we are doing, we're interacting with. 48:18 We're just not aware of it. 48:19 but we're interacting, frequency. 48:23 So now in functional medicine, what's becoming a very up and coming recognized medicine is energy medicine. 48:31 What are we working with? 48:33 Vibration, energy. 48:35 whether you're using a laser that's giving off energy, whether your healing with your hands through energy. 48:43 Reiki is an amazing science that teaches that. 48:47 And even some of the medications that we give are different, what they do is put out different frequencies. 48:52 Absolutely. 48:53 Even some the IVs that were doing, or even the EBO2, we're putting it through different light therapy, which what it's doing is feeding certain frequencies 49:03 to create that healing component. 49:05 Absolutely. 49:06 So homeopathic frequency medicine. 49:08 Yeah. 49:09 Yes. 49:10 This is something that people have to look further into and understand it. 49:15 But in my opinion, and this is my personal and professional opinion. 49:20 It's the future of medicine, I think so too. 49:23 We can, and it's becoming more, at least for me, I feel like it is becoming accepted. 49:29 When I first started using it in 2007, people were like, what is this? 49:33 This is voodoo, this is witchcraft, how are you knowing? 49:37 Because the information that would come up, it would be like yeah, that's just right, but how'd you get that? 49:42 I'm like whoa, not okay with this. 49:45 And another huge piece of it, is, as a practitioner, my trust in myself. 49:53 Because I can see it on the screen, but if I'm like, oh, there's no way, nope, I don't know how this goes together, then I am not gonna share it. 50:02 I not going to lean into it, and so I think that's the biggest thing for me that occurred over 18 years. 50:09 And I still learning, still take certification classes in it all the time. 50:15 you know, watching, working with different practitioners. 50:18 Okay, how are you approaching this? 50:20 What does this mean? 50:21 How are interpreting that? 50:23 My background in medicine affects how I see it. 50:28 Now that I've started working on more the emotional side and the psychedelics, those pieces are coming up on that screen and better able to interpret it, 50:38 so it was more my comfort with myself and my own knowledge plays into how well you're going to be able to read that screen. 50:50 Amazing, amazing. 50:52 I love it. 50:53 Now, you mentioned psychedelics. 50:55 Right. 50:56 So I'm a, I am a big fan of micro dosing shrooms and some of the most creative things that I've come up with when it comes to business is when I micro 51:08 dose and I just get to work. 51:10 My mind just starts firing off. 51:13 What are the, some other things you do with the psychedelics? 51:17 Microdosing is a big part of it with mushrooms, with LSD. 51:24 Working with 5-MeO DMT, that could even be considered a microdose because what we're working with is titrated pens at a low, 51:36 low dose, 1 16th of a molecule. 51:40 Okay. 51:41 So that, again, could be considered a microdose. 51:44 I think the biggest thing for me in working with psychedelics is, the intention behind the use of the medicine. 51:55 And I hope, going back to R.F.K. 51:59 Jr., one of things he's promised is the legalization. 52:04 of psychedelics, and I'm part of a non-profit microdosing collective which is all about working with the legislation. 52:15 And through cannabis, we saw the things that we did wrong. 52:23 Hopefully learning from our mistakes is kind of the foundation of microdosing collective. 52:28 There's a lot of attorneys in the space and a Lot that worked on the Colorado put up their own funds the colorado legislation and So hopefully, 52:42 in that collective, we will see the proper legalization with the right intention, with trained... 52:51 Professionals behind it. 52:53 Yes, yes. 52:54 I think that's important. 52:55 That certification. 52:56 Right, having that foundation. 52:58 So, I love it. 53:00 Now, let's talk about the product. 53:04 The product that you have here, you put a lot of time and effort to develop this product, and I'm excited to try it myself. 53:12 So why did you decide to put this project together? 53:15 It actually came from an obsession with the Johns Hopkins research that the book, the documentaries now been written about how to heal your mind. 53:26 And I probably read that book about four times right when it came out. 53:34 obsessed with the science. 53:35 I'd never been one, you know, everybody's like, oh yeah, I tried mushrooms in college. 53:41 And so it was a science, how was this working on the brain? 53:47 And one of the things that, and you're going back to spirit that impressed me so much about the scientist working in that study is there were atheists, 54:00 agnostics, you know, every religion and every single scientist said at the end, without a doubt, there is a God. 54:07 And I'm like, okay, if there's a medicine that creates these changes in the brain, new neural pathways, Healing addiction, 54:20 healing by 70%, 70% change in addiction. 54:25 Healing depression, anxiety, and we cannot say those things about our pharmaceuticals in that realm. 54:32 And at the same time, these scientists are saying, without a doubt, there is a God. 54:37 I want to know more about this. 54:40 And so when the pandemic hit, I just saw a huge decline in my caseload. 54:48 My patients aren't on medication. 54:49 That changed. 54:57 teenagers trying to commit suicide. 55:01 And so I knew it was time to stop reading about it and do something about. 55:08 So that's where this formulation came from. 55:11 I honored, I felt that I needed to honor again the intention behind it from the label to the medicine in it. 55:23 it was important for me for that intention to be there. 55:27 And so in that role, an important place was honoring the children who had taught me the most. 55:35 That's amazing. 55:36 Those ASD kids. 55:38 So ADAPT is the Most Researched Adaptogens for ASB, and every time I say that, people are like, oh, well then that's not for my, 55:46 I don't have ASG. 55:47 Okay. 55:48 What is AS for the people that don' know what it is? 55:50 Autism spectrum disorder. 55:53 But what, what are autistic children here to teach us? 55:58 They're here. 55:58 To teach as what doesn't work for our bodies. 56:01 So what works for them works. 56:03 For everyone. 56:05 When I formulated it, it was important for me to know that it. 56:10 Was safe. 56:11 It was clean for autistic. 56:13 Children. 56:14 And in doing so. 56:16 it would work for everybody. 56:17 It is our top seller product. 56:20 Amazing. 56:21 And so it works on anxiety. 56:25 I've seen it with my own caseload in front of me stop a panic attack in 15 minutes time. 56:34 Wow. 56:35 And so it is for anxiety, it for memory, and it's for realm sleep. 56:40 Most of us are not getting enough realm sleeps. 56:43 Some of this aren't getting it at all. 56:44 Realm sleep is the most, when the glymphatic system, which is your lymphatic of your brain, cleans by 60%. So in preventing Alzheimer's, 56:57 dementia, overall, the brain fogginess, just brain health, is really, really important. 57:04 And there's different data points, like the Aura Ring, that you can actually utilize to manage and see the improvement from the product. 57:11 Yes, we've personally playing around with it, again, with my caseload. 57:16 We saw changes in Realm Sleep in 48 hours. 57:18 That's nice. 57:20 It went to efficient Realm sleep in taking Adapt. 57:23 So Adapt can be taken day or night. 57:29 And then Enrich is all daytime. 57:33 Again, going back to my autistic kids, I felt it was important to honor their parents because they had taught me so much also. 57:44 And they're on the front lines every day. 57:47 And when we did in 2009, I worked with the Brain Treatment Center, and we a lot of brain scans. 57:56 And the results showed that one in every two, so about 50% of the parents with autistic children, especially on the severe end of spectrum, 58:07 those parents have PTSD. 58:10 So these are the most enriched is the Most researched adaptogens for PTSD. 58:15 So it's mood elevation, its energy, and its focus. 58:21 Where are my youngest son played? 58:24 He's a lacrosse player. 58:27 But a lacrosse player in college and he may have been a little superstitious, but he wouldn't play a game without taking in Rich because he just felt that 58:36 it gave him so much better focus on as a goalie in lacross. 58:40 So it's great for sports. 58:43 Great for even just, you know, at the end of the day, if they're tired, do you need to go out with friends for dinner and you're like, 58:50 I can't. 58:51 Just taking two in rich and you'll just feel that uptake. 58:55 Not like caffeine, just, I'm on, it's good. 58:57 It's like a good sense of liveliness, right? 58:59 Yes, that grounded attention. 59:00 So no caffeine in the product. 59:02 No caffeine. 59:02 Awesome, awesome. 59:04 In that product, and I know you mentioned with the athletes, is this something that would pass the Wada Musada list and all that? 59:12 100%. Amazing. 59:13 Where can people find this product? 59:15 So the website is mybrilliantblends.com, and we're just on Amazon as of this week.
