the throne room. Father God, we just thank you so much,

29
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.639
and we give you praise and glory and honor. You

30
00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:35.360

We thank you so much. You have been. All I

34
00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:48.919
and your mercy, your unconditional love, and our hearts go

35
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:51.879

Now.

40
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.840
We thank you. And as always, Father, this is your time,

41
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.520
this is your program. We get behind the cross, and

42
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.840
we asked that you do what you do best amongst many,

43
00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:17.400
but death set your captives free. In the name of Jesus,

44
00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.800
we pray, Amen and Amen. Well, welcome everybody again, praying

45
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.280
that everybody is well. I don't want to waste any

46
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:29.879
time tonight because this is a life lesson for us.

47
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.919
All is going to blow you away. Briefly, we do

48
00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:36.879
have a guest. She is and was and she well,

49
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:40.599
she was my wound care nurse. I've talked about her

50
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.639
over the years. She was always there and we talked

51
00:03:44.639 --> 00:03:48.560
about the Lord. And I was thinking this morning, just

52
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:52.080
reflecting over our time together, and I remember one particular

53
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:55.039
thing I want to say real quick. It was a

54
00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:57.800
morning I woke up, I had an aid in the home,

55
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:00.719
and all of a sudden, my vision, my eyes was

56
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.560
just going back and forth, back and forth. I had

57
00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.319
never experienced that, never heard of that. And I'm like,

58
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.759
oh my god. And I could see the aid backing up.

59
00:04:08.879 --> 00:04:11.560
She was just backing up to my dining area. I said,

60
00:04:11.560 --> 00:04:14.039
why aren't you praying? Why aren't you? And I mean

61
00:04:14.080 --> 00:04:15.919
I can't. I mean I could see, but I can't see.

62
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:18.319
My eyes are just literally going like this like this,

63
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:20.439
and I'm like, oh my God. And I knew Tammy

64
00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:22.560
was on her way I can always hear. When she

65
00:04:22.600 --> 00:04:26.199
pulled up stuff, I said, oh, she's here, she's here.

66
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.439
So Tammy's like, okay, hey, I said, no, I can't.

67
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:30.879
I can't see I can't see it. I'm crying and

68
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.800
I'm freaking out. And she's like, okay, I just need you.

69
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.160
It's great, just greeze, just freeze. So I'm sitting down.

70
00:04:37.199 --> 00:04:39.399
She threw a grip on the couch and she's on

71
00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:41.759
her knee. She's like, it's okay, I'm here. I'm here,

72
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:45.000
and I'm like, but she wouldn't pray. She wouldn't pray.

73
00:04:45.279 --> 00:04:48.759
She says she believe in God. She's not praying. I'm

74
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:52.240
in crisis, and I was just and the nurse, the

75
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.600
aide just stood there and Tammy was like, it's okay.

76
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.920
She's like, bring me a cold rag now now and

77
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.759
tell me folded it over and she put it on

78
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:05.000
my forehead and she said, Jesus name, in Jesus name,

79
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:08.360
in Jesus name, very few people can calm me down,

80
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:09.240
very few.

81
00:05:09.839 --> 00:05:11.759
And I had a few opportunities to do that.

82
00:05:12.439 --> 00:05:16.319
Yes you did, because I was like, She's like okay, okay,

83
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:20.480
and she did. So we're talking about inflammation Toname. Inflammation

84
00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:26.680
to me is the most secretive, secretive disorder, and you

85
00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:30.360
don't know you have it most of the time until

86
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:34.279
they're really doing lab work, I mean really going deep

87
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.920
and and maybe even a EKG X rays. I mean

88
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:42.600
you've got you have a battery of tests most of

89
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:45.959
the time before to say, oh, well you've got some information. Now.

90
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:47.639
Most of the time you hear that and you're like,

91
00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:51.639
oh okay. You think, okay, maybe that's infection or something.

92
00:05:51.680 --> 00:05:54.839
You know, some people take that real lightly, but you don't.

93
00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:58.360
You don't need to, because this thing is deadly and

94
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:02.040
once it gets started, and in my opinion, and you

95
00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:06.360
don't know it's there, it's it's going after everything and

96
00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:08.959
it's in its path. And I know I'm really bringing

97
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:11.720
it big because Tammy is going to bring it right here.

98
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:16.000
What can help inflammation, misty, But I'm I will answer that,

99
00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:19.759
But right now I want to give miss Tammy the

100
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.079
floor and we'll acknowledge your questions. We'll have her back.

101
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:27.199
But she's got a lot to share and a lot

102
00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:29.920
whatever however God's going to lead her tonight, but she

103
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.839
has a lot. Without further ado, please welcome my wound

104
00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:37.560
care nurse and Sister in Christ, Miss Tabby there again

105
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:44.000
passed it very good anyway.

106
00:06:44.680 --> 00:06:47.399
So the first thing I want to say is we

107
00:06:47.519 --> 00:06:52.959
have to remember that God created everything perfectly, and he

108
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:59.079
in our human body, created inflammation for a good thing.

109
00:06:59.279 --> 00:07:02.279
So let's start but the good thing on the side

110
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:07.000
of inflammation. What is inflammation? It is basically the body's

111
00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:15.759
response to potentially an injury, potentially a problem. The body

112
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:20.600
was created to heal itself, and the body was created

113
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:25.759
to recognize a problem and bring healing to that problem

114
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:30.160
through inflammation. So we cut ourselves, we get it acute wound.

115
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:37.160
There's an inflammatory response that comes and brings oxygen and

116
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:41.839
blood to an area that is meant to bring healing.

117
00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:44.720
So we got to first start off with understanding what

118
00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:49.000
an inflammatory response really is. So that is what it

119
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:53.120
starts out as. Where the problem becomes is when it

120
00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:57.959
goes from an acute phase to a chronic phase. So

121
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.120
when our body is dealing with insults and that could

122
00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:07.800
be a wound, that could be diabetes, that could be cardiac,

123
00:08:08.319 --> 00:08:14.079
that could be autoimmune diseases, that acute phase that meant

124
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:19.439
to bring in healing now becomes a chronic, ongoing problem.

125
00:08:19.680 --> 00:08:23.920
And that long standing inflammation becomes a problem. So what

126
00:08:23.959 --> 00:08:28.680
was meant for good now is no longer good. So

127
00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:32.799
when we look at our human body that was made

128
00:08:32.840 --> 00:08:37.399
so perfectly, when things are breaking down, say like our

129
00:08:37.440 --> 00:08:42.320
gut health, our digestion, If we are eating foods that

130
00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:49.000
can create a leaky gut or an inflammation in our gut,

131
00:08:49.480 --> 00:08:53.440
it overwhelms our system. So that is one avenue that

132
00:08:53.480 --> 00:08:58.039
inflammation can come in. Another avenue is our blood sugar,

133
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:03.159
so we have if we're diabetic or even hyper glycemic

134
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.159
for a long period of time, some of us may

135
00:09:06.159 --> 00:09:08.960
not know, just like you were saying, is gray without

136
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.159
a lab without some type of assessment from a physician,

137
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:17.279
we may not know the state our body is in

138
00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:21.200
and the prolonged state our body is in. Any particular

139
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:27.600
condition creates a chronic nature, and that chronic inflammation creates

140
00:09:27.639 --> 00:09:32.279
havoc in our body. So high blood pressure another avenue

141
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:37.240
that plays havoc on our vessels. We look at cholesterol

142
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:41.480
and how that interferes with the walls of our vessels.

143
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:46.759
We look at autoimmune conditions, which is chronic inflammation of

144
00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:53.799
like lupus arthritis, ormtwate arthritis, Chrome's disease, which is in

145
00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:00.279
the gut, thyroid, hashimotoves thyroid psoriasis of the skin. Those

146
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:05.919
are all autoimmune conditions where your body starts to attack itself.

147
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.840
So something goes wrong and now your body is saying, okay,

148
00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:17.039
we're going to attack. So everybody has different potentials for inflammation.

149
00:10:17.720 --> 00:10:22.480
It's getting a baseline of what you are, your state

150
00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:26.679
is in, and then working towards bringing health into those

151
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.799
particular areas. So you go for your annual physical, you

152
00:10:29.879 --> 00:10:33.879
have your annual work blood work done. They are typically

153
00:10:33.960 --> 00:10:37.440
looking at depending on who your practitioner is, they're looking

154
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.399
at all of these different areas. But if you come

155
00:10:40.519 --> 00:10:45.360
in with a complaint of fatigue, you come in with

156
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.559
a complaint of swelling, come in with a complaint of

157
00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:54.320
a rash, it's now going on a hunt to say, okay,

158
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.840
what could be causing these things and what lab work

159
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.919
would we look at to say, hey, we've got something

160
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.480
that's not at correct. So there's not necessarily a specific

161
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:10.320
lab that says, bright lights, this is where it is. Yes,

162
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:14.399
there is what they call an A and A, which

163
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.639
again is more of on your autoimmune inflammatory side. They

164
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.480
have what's called the said rate, which is also an

165
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:26.879
inflammatory marker, but it's not necessarily going to indicate this

166
00:11:27.080 --> 00:11:29.759
is your issue. But that's where we're looking at our

167
00:11:29.759 --> 00:11:35.960
physicals and then responding to what isn't in line, which

168
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:39.399
blood work is outside of the range where it should be,

169
00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.399
and what can we do to now bring about health

170
00:11:43.639 --> 00:11:44.240
to our body.

171
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:50.039
Well, this is this is this is really interesting because

172
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:52.320
like you said, I said before, you you don't know

173
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.000
until they start the search and they start to or

174
00:11:56.080 --> 00:11:58.120
you come in and you know, I had to go

175
00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.799
and now I had to seek a whole new medical team.

176
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.679
Uh here it is seven years later and all of

177
00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.279
a sudden, you know, I go in and they did

178
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:09.559
one set of blood work and they're like, oh oh

179
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.840
oh no, these numbers are not they're not right. And

180
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.159
instead they're not trying to scare me, but they are

181
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:19.120
scaring me because they're like, this is something's wrong and

182
00:12:19.159 --> 00:12:20.879
we need to see if there's blockage. We need to

183
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:23.159
see if there's inflammation, we need to see if there's infection,

184
00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:25.600
we need to see something that's going up. We don't

185
00:12:25.600 --> 00:12:28.519
need anything pressing on your limbs and on your muscles

186
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.480
and on the veins. And I'm like, what you know,

187
00:12:31.639 --> 00:12:34.600
I don't have this in my sister's not in my DNA.

188
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:38.080
So it's like and I believe, you know, the devil

189
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.799
will use anything to get you distracted, to get you upset,

190
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:45.879
to make you start doubting and disbelieving and all this stuff.

191
00:12:45.919 --> 00:12:48.559
And then I'm looking at God like, okay, Lord, I know,

192
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:52.720
but see this time, I tricked my mind by going

193
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.279
in and saying I brought this all myself. I came in.

194
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:58.559
I went in because my mind is like, well, no,

195
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:00.639
you know, tell them this and no, no, no, I

196
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.200
brought this on myself. And then looking at me and

197
00:13:02.240 --> 00:13:05.480
I'm like, yeah, my cherry PEPSI my sweet teeth. And

198
00:13:05.519 --> 00:13:08.039
they're like okay. Now normally people would be like what

199
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:10.919
is was it? No, they were like, okay, now this

200
00:13:11.279 --> 00:13:15.039
is making some sense because you how often I said

201
00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.279
that I drink it like you drink water. Like okay,

202
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.360
all right, we're sending you back for more tests, and

203
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.000
we need more blood work because now we need five

204
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.960
more vials because we got five more areas that we've

205
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:31.159
got to go look into now. And I'm very fortunate

206
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:36.879
this functional, functioning medical holistic team are looking at Okay,

207
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.440
we got your we got the symptoms. Now now we

208
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.000
need to see what made what it grew upon. And

209
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:46.200
it brought me back to my therapy days when a

210
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:48.919
person would come in they record ordered for anger management,

211
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.519
and they were ready to tell me about oh I'm

212
00:13:51.559 --> 00:13:53.639
not angry, I'm not angry person. I'm like, oh, okay,

213
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.440
but can I have your name first? I just want

214
00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:57.879
to verify that you the person I'm supposed to see.

215
00:13:58.279 --> 00:14:02.759
And I would use an example. I said, you know

216
00:14:02.840 --> 00:14:05.080
you come in with this, this is this is the

217
00:14:05.279 --> 00:14:07.720
this is the diagnosis of this is what you want

218
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:10.519
to be treated, and then I would pile things on top.

219
00:14:10.679 --> 00:14:14.000
But you're angry. You know, you're not working right now,

220
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:16.440
you don't do well at work, You've got you're going

221
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:19.320
through a divorce. So I'm piling up and I said,

222
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.320
this is what I need to find. I need to

223
00:14:21.320 --> 00:14:23.840
find what we what I call the trigger, because all

224
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:26.879
this is landing on this, your anger management and everything.

225
00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:28.960
I need to find out what this is because once

226
00:14:29.000 --> 00:14:31.559
I get this and I would let this go, everything

227
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:34.720
would fall, everything would fall. So it brought back that memory.

228
00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:37.240
I'm like, oh God, but you know, you've got to

229
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.960
be honest with your practitioner. You've got to face, what

230
00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:44.600
you've done, how you've eaten, how you've gone beyond. Tammy

231
00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.720
said something to me when I was first I was

232
00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.120
when I was first discharged, I went through six weeks

233
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.000
of an IV of medicine because there was a you know,

234
00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:58.080
the way my foot, my left toes were and my

235
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.399
foot was cut, so there was a ivy attached to

236
00:15:01.440 --> 00:15:03.639
it for six weeks. And Tammy said, you know, miss Gray,

237
00:15:03.639 --> 00:15:06.039
you're gonna be You're the healthiest that you'll ever be

238
00:15:06.039 --> 00:15:08.279
because I just came off of being fed by feeding

239
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.960
to I had all the nutrients, all the everything, you know,

240
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.080
and still wasn't even because I hadn't gotten my taste

241
00:15:15.159 --> 00:15:17.240
buds back. So I was very careful about what I

242
00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.200
was eating, and it was all healthy stuff because I

243
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.200
couldn't and my stomach had shrunk ninety seven days in

244
00:15:23.279 --> 00:15:26.399
the hospital, you know, so I was eating very small

245
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:28.039
and everything. So she said, you're gonna be the healthies,

246
00:15:28.080 --> 00:15:31.519
and I'm like, oh, okay, And I took that for granted.

247
00:15:32.000 --> 00:15:34.279
I took it for granted. I even tried to bribe

248
00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:36.399
the kids when I was in the hospital. Go to

249
00:15:36.440 --> 00:15:39.320
the cafeteria here, you go to the cafeteria I'm on

250
00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.120
a chocolate chip cookie. I smell the cookies and then

251
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.120
looking at each other like we're not going to the

252
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:49.919
cafeteria to get you, and I'm like, come on, they

253
00:15:49.960 --> 00:15:52.279
won't know. But I'm right next to the cafeteria. I

254
00:15:52.360 --> 00:15:56.159
was on the ICU floor. Okay, I was a few floors,

255
00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.720
but I could smell it. Somebody was cooking something on

256
00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:03.840
that floor. So now, Tammy, let's let's let's go a

257
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:07.480
little deeper now, you know, because I feel right now

258
00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.759
that the world is in crisis. The world. Everybody health issues.

259
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:16.080
My foot surgeon has a whole new set of patients

260
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:19.279
every time I go there, a whole new set. My

261
00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:22.600
prosthetic company, they have a whole new set of people.

262
00:16:22.720 --> 00:16:26.279
Even younger kids. Limbs are being you know, amputated or

263
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.360
lost or what you know. So, once upon a time

264
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.480
in the mental health field, and Tree can really relate

265
00:16:32.519 --> 00:16:35.399
to this, we used to have prevention. We get clearly,

266
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:39.759
we had services that provided prevention, agencies that provided prevention services.

267
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.799
Then we went to a little early intervention, okay, and

268
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:44.960
then we went to intervention, and the last thing we

269
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:47.519
wanted was crisis. But I want to say, since twenty

270
00:16:47.559 --> 00:16:51.159
twenty we've been in crisis. There's no early intervention. I

271
00:16:51.679 --> 00:16:54.159
write grants, I edit grants. We don't have nothing for

272
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:58.559
preventing preventing anything. Now it's like early involvement or you know,

273
00:16:58.679 --> 00:17:01.799
early intervention if that, and that's that's on the cusp

274
00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:05.400
in your field, in the medical field, the health field,

275
00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:08.359
do you see that or what do you feel we

276
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.440
are right now? Medically, I'm looking at women with stomachs.

277
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:13.839
I don't think they know they have hernias. I don't

278
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:17.119
think I don't think they know it. And hyato hernia

279
00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.480
another secret of little thing. And I'm found out when

280
00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.559
I was in the hospital. One of the doctors rounded

281
00:17:23.559 --> 00:17:25.079
he said, well, you know, if you have a baby,

282
00:17:25.400 --> 00:17:27.720
that could create a hernia. I said, what, I said,

283
00:17:27.720 --> 00:17:32.079
my baby? But what I had a set of twins,

284
00:17:32.119 --> 00:17:34.680
so that recreated that, you know. So I had this

285
00:17:34.759 --> 00:17:38.440
hieda hernia forever and I was only told don't bother

286
00:17:38.519 --> 00:17:40.839
it unless it bother you. But then here it is,

287
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:44.400
millions of years later, it started to bring my stomach

288
00:17:44.480 --> 00:17:46.759
to come up and here we are. Here we are

289
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.240
so in the medical health medical what are you seeing

290
00:17:50.279 --> 00:17:53.440
now on your en Now she actively works in a hospital.

291
00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:58.839
I'm going to start with people. People are reactive, not

292
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.119
proactive as a whole. As a whole, we live in

293
00:18:03.160 --> 00:18:08.119
a country that is reactive, not necessarily proactive. Can I

294
00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:14.039
say every medical personnel is reactive. No, I can't lump

295
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.839
everybody into a bucket. However, what do I see as

296
00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:21.759
a whole is medicine is very siloed. So if you

297
00:18:21.880 --> 00:18:25.680
go to a physician, a specialist, they're going to look

298
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.039
at their specialty, so to look at old person care

299
00:18:30.680 --> 00:18:33.519
versus siloed care. I do think we have a greater

300
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:39.000
opportunity to truly treat patients holistically. We have to have

301
00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:44.440
patients buy in to owning their health also because a

302
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:47.960
lot of times we want others to do it for you,

303
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.880
or we have a society of I'm an avoid, I'm

304
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.559
married to an avoid, and I am very pro so

305
00:18:56.640 --> 00:19:01.000
I tend to be very proactive. I think about tomorrow,

306
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.440
next month, next year, five years, ten years. I have

307
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.200
a plan for everything personality wise. But I've personally gone

308
00:19:07.319 --> 00:19:11.440
through health issues. I had to be my own advocate

309
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:17.000
because again, certain labs, certain tests could technically come back

310
00:19:17.519 --> 00:19:21.559
within normal limits, and I knew I wasn't feeling well,

311
00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.880
so I'm like, something's not matching. I'm the healthiest person

312
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.960
on a piece of paper, but you know something's wrong.

313
00:19:29.039 --> 00:19:32.200
So you have to understand advocacy, and that's a hard

314
00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:37.000
thing when you don't understand medicine. The medical community, in

315
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:40.400
the medical world is a very different world than the

316
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:42.440
rest of us are living, So to be able to

317
00:19:42.759 --> 00:19:47.559
navigate healthcare is really difficult. So the main thing I

318
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:51.720
would recommend for anybody is to find a really good

319
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:56.319
primary care physician. That person that you can trust, that

320
00:19:56.359 --> 00:20:00.839
could be your hub, that could navigate and will ordinate

321
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:04.559
care and actually have your best interest in mind is

322
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.319
super important. So if you don't have that, you need

323
00:20:08.359 --> 00:20:11.480
to find that. We can't just say oh the doctor

324
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:14.640
said it's nothing, move on and I'm a doctor. You

325
00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.279
need a good hub, you need somebody that could navigate that.

326
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:21.559
So that's the first priority. If you have a really

327
00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:24.559
good PCP, they're going to be proactive. Now, like you,

328
00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.599
miss Gray, you found a holistic person. How do you feel,

329
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:31.640
are they proactive or are they reactive? Just your experience

330
00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:32.480
so far with the new.

331
00:20:32.400 --> 00:20:36.279
Person totally proactive, totally proactive, because he was not going

332
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:38.599
to even take me on until I went back to

333
00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:42.720
my primary and got on a certain medication. He said,

334
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.720
cause that's bigger than what I see, and that if

335
00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.200
we could calm that down, it could clear the forest

336
00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.920
a little bit, and then then I can He said,

337
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:56.599
stop everything, even told me stop taekwondo, stop everything right now,

338
00:20:56.880 --> 00:20:58.799
right now, and then he put a team on me.

339
00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.079
So they're very proactive and my primary, the nurse practitioner.

340
00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:06.880
The nurse practitioner was like, oh, a holistic and I said, no,

341
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:11.079
that eight pages of lab work, it's because of him.

342
00:21:11.440 --> 00:21:15.200
She said, okay. It totally turned her around. She became

343
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:18.759
respect for him because you know, those different worlds out there,

344
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:22.880
they don't respect folks with holistic stuff, a mindset, you know,

345
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.480
and practice. She said, oh, oh, okay, okay, that's good.

346
00:21:27.599 --> 00:21:29.960
That's good. Well you stick with him, you stick with us.

347
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:32.839
We're your new family now. I said, yeah, you're my

348
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.240
new team definitely.

349
00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:37.400
So yeah, So that is super important is to have

350
00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:42.319
somebody that is going to be proactive and explain what

351
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:47.480
they're looking at every single year. So there are standards

352
00:21:47.759 --> 00:21:51.359
when we go to an annual physical that should be

353
00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:56.400
looked at for you every single year, and that overall

354
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:02.920
lab work annually. Should be looking at your cholesterol, your triglycerides,

355
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:10.039
your blood sugar, your possibly autoimmune. If you're complaining of

356
00:22:10.119 --> 00:22:13.559
any kind of you know, fatigue or any of those

357
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:16.640
symptoms I was talking about, they should automatically be looking

358
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.680
at that. There are set standards to look at gut health,

359
00:22:21.119 --> 00:22:24.799
to look at colonoscopies and endosopies. Those are things that

360
00:22:24.839 --> 00:22:30.039
people will run from. So it's it's it's hard to

361
00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:33.200
say who owns what. But if you can have a

362
00:22:33.319 --> 00:22:36.279
ACP that can sit down and say, this is why

363
00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:39.400
these labs are important, this is why we do this

364
00:22:39.559 --> 00:22:43.640
every year. This is not in line and we need

365
00:22:43.680 --> 00:22:48.920
to do a little bit more investigating because interestingly, inflammation

366
00:22:49.680 --> 00:22:53.480
comes from multiple different places. It's not an easy answer.

367
00:22:54.039 --> 00:22:58.440
So one set of bad lab works in one an

368
00:22:58.680 --> 00:23:03.480
organ system, maybe triggering the inflammation cascade in your body.

369
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.759
So you have to understand it's not a clear cut answer.

370
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:11.039
So it is getting that annual blood work, Is it

371
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.480
an X ray that you need? What else is going on?

372
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.559
What are the concerns and complaints? And you said it earlier,

373
00:23:16.680 --> 00:23:20.440
it's you have to be honest with your practitioner. If

374
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.759
you go in and don't tell the truth about things,

375
00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.160
You're gonna get a very minimal answer. But can I

376
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:31.359
tell you as every ACP great, No, I've had a

377
00:23:31.440 --> 00:23:34.640
variety of PCPs. I have a PCP that has never

378
00:23:34.640 --> 00:23:37.000
even pulled out a stethoscope to listen to my lungs.

379
00:23:37.240 --> 00:23:39.960
And then I have another PCP in my life back

380
00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.079
in South Florida who literally look between my toes every year.

381
00:23:44.160 --> 00:23:46.160
So I'm like, you got to understand not they're not

382
00:23:46.319 --> 00:23:48.640
all the same. They may have the same initials, but

383
00:23:48.680 --> 00:23:54.039
they're not all created equally. And unfortunately, the onuses get

384
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:58.319
recommendations from anybody that you trust that says, hey, I

385
00:23:58.440 --> 00:24:01.559
have a really good as long as they're covered by

386
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:04.880
your insurance, hopefully you can go see that. That's the start,

387
00:24:04.920 --> 00:24:08.160
that's the foundation. So you want somebody proactive, That's where

388
00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:08.599
to start.

389
00:24:08.880 --> 00:24:11.279
Now, speaking of insurance, one thing I want to go

390
00:24:11.359 --> 00:24:14.839
back to. I just left my primary doctor that I

391
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:17.279
had over twenty some years since I've been here in

392
00:24:17.400 --> 00:24:20.839
Orlando because his nurse practitioner was just like, you don't

393
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:23.119
need to eat supplements. I mean she just was, really,

394
00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:24.759
you need to be on this, and you need to

395
00:24:24.759 --> 00:24:26.759
be on that. And I'm like, well, just slow down.

396
00:24:27.480 --> 00:24:30.039
I hear what you're saying, but you got to understand

397
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:33.440
you're looking at what You're looking at what I've been through,

398
00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:35.960
and you're trying to and you know, she I just

399
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:38.680
couldn't and they've not even tried to find me or

400
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:40.759
call me back in for a follow up. I went

401
00:24:40.799 --> 00:24:43.240
on and prayed and found another doctor. And this is

402
00:24:43.319 --> 00:24:48.119
where the nurse practitioner came in, speaking of insurance. And

403
00:24:48.160 --> 00:24:51.480
we've got an expert here on that other side, got

404
00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:59.319
Pastor mcguil who's but it's been so people have been

405
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.240
so shocked. When I'm gone to get the blood work

406
00:25:02.279 --> 00:25:04.440
or whatever, they said, well do you have another I

407
00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:06.559
said no, I'm on Medicare A and B. And then like,

408
00:25:07.079 --> 00:25:09.880
so you don't have a secondary and I'm like no,

409
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:13.200
And then the finally the lady was like she didn't

410
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.400
take person. It was just like it was just I

411
00:25:15.400 --> 00:25:18.440
said no because I didn't need one. I did. I

412
00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:21.440
wasn't on medication. There's another, you know, source that takes

413
00:25:21.440 --> 00:25:24.119
care of the high blood pressure meds, but they need

414
00:25:24.119 --> 00:25:28.039
this much medication. And she's like, oh, I was like

415
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:31.559
an alien to her because they you a B, C

416
00:25:31.839 --> 00:25:34.960
D and E you know, and and supplements and United

417
00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:38.039
Healthcare and ETNA and all this, and they were they

418
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.039
have been in shot that. You know, I don't have

419
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.519
a secondary third And you know, Pastor I was thinking

420
00:25:43.519 --> 00:25:44.960
about you. I said, Okay, I'm gonna have to call

421
00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:48.480
him and get medicare c I guess or or D

422
00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:51.720
and you know, and the Lord blessed that I didn't

423
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.559
have to do it. CBS owed me money. Now, thank

424
00:25:54.599 --> 00:25:57.960
you Jesus. But you know, I know because I'm not

425
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:00.240
being on a whole lot of medicine. I didn't didn't

426
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:03.640
need it. I didn't need it. So it's really sethly.

427
00:26:03.759 --> 00:26:06.960
So now, Tammy, what else is on your heart about this? Now?

428
00:26:07.160 --> 00:26:10.160
You know you've given you've given us really that foundation

429
00:26:10.319 --> 00:26:13.160
in that background. But what's God? What has God? What

430
00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.160
God has you on your has on your heart that

431
00:26:15.200 --> 00:26:18.960
you want to share to tell people? New patients, old patients?

432
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:22.079
All we got all age ranges on here that view

433
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:24.480
this what what where are we going? Because you see

434
00:26:24.519 --> 00:26:28.160
the world is collapsing behind us. It's it's coming apart

435
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:32.000
at the scenes. Uh, You've got doctors leaving, You've got people,

436
00:26:32.160 --> 00:26:36.400
you know, medications for big pharmah that's old thing, you know.

437
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.640
Just where do we go from here? Now? Whatever else

438
00:26:39.720 --> 00:26:41.079
is on your heart, please.

439
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:44.759
Well, we have to make sure we surround ourselves with

440
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:48.000
the right company of people. That is believers and that

441
00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:51.519
is your medical team, that is your family. Knowing who

442
00:26:51.559 --> 00:26:54.480
your inner circle should be and who you can trust.

443
00:26:54.519 --> 00:26:57.319
Because wisdom is everything, and we know that if we

444
00:26:57.400 --> 00:27:00.519
ask the Lord, the Lord is faithful to provide wisdom.

445
00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.359
And we have to know where our limitations are. So

446
00:27:04.400 --> 00:27:09.160
the problem is is knowing our own strengths or weaknesses,

447
00:27:09.240 --> 00:27:14.960
whether we're going to avoid problematic things. Who do we

448
00:27:15.079 --> 00:27:18.440
have come alongside of us that can speak truth. Truth

449
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.799
is everything, and truth is word. The word of God

450
00:27:21.880 --> 00:27:26.119
is the truth. We have to remember medicine is practicing, practicing,

451
00:27:26.319 --> 00:27:29.759
that's what doctors do. They're in practice. They're not God.

452
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.160
So God is the beginning in the end, God is

453
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.319
the author of wisdom. He is the author and creator

454
00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.000
of our bodies. He can bring about healing. But we

455
00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:43.079
have to also understand that we have to do our part.

456
00:27:43.480 --> 00:27:46.559
So what does our part look like. It looks like

457
00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:52.200
understanding our diagnoses, It looks like following instructions. If you

458
00:27:52.400 --> 00:27:57.039
trust the source, that's giving you the medical instructions, there

459
00:27:57.079 --> 00:28:01.240
needs to be some compliance with that. And that isn't

460
00:28:01.319 --> 00:28:08.839
just medications. That's diet, that's liquid intake, that's exercise, that sleep,

461
00:28:09.119 --> 00:28:14.400
that stress. There are so many things that injure us

462
00:28:14.960 --> 00:28:21.160
and create inflammatory responses in our body that we have

463
00:28:21.279 --> 00:28:26.319
to take back control and do what the Word of

464
00:28:26.319 --> 00:28:30.640
God calls us to do to be healthy. And that

465
00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:36.160
is prayer, that is sabbath and rest, that is the word,

466
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:41.319
that is community, and that is a health community. So

467
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:43.680
it's bringing all of that back in. I wish there

468
00:28:43.759 --> 00:28:47.279
was an easy fix to it all, but we have

469
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:52.200
responsibility and sometimes that means we have to make choices

470
00:28:52.240 --> 00:28:55.920
that are not easy. And unfortunately, the human brain is

471
00:28:56.119 --> 00:29:01.359
quite interesting as well that we create pathways in our brain,

472
00:29:01.440 --> 00:29:04.559
so our habit patterns and the things that we do

473
00:29:04.680 --> 00:29:08.759
in life have been forged in that process. So sometimes

474
00:29:08.799 --> 00:29:11.599
it's literally getting on our knees and asking the Lord

475
00:29:11.640 --> 00:29:16.079
to help us create healthy pathways and understanding that those

476
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:19.559
ruts are existing in your brain. So you have to

477
00:29:19.599 --> 00:29:23.279
be very cautious not to easily go back to what

478
00:29:23.799 --> 00:29:28.000
is our natural pattern with things, whether it's sweet tea

479
00:29:28.079 --> 00:29:32.480
and cherry coke. You know, and I'm just as guilty.

480
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:36.720
We all have our own pathways, We'll say, we all

481
00:29:36.759 --> 00:29:40.160
have our own human pathways. And it's really leaning in

482
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:43.240
on the Holy Spirit to say, Okay, help me, Lord,

483
00:29:43.799 --> 00:29:47.119
to go in the path where you want us to

484
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:51.880
go for help and healing mindset. And also we have

485
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.000
to learn to speak truth over ourselves as well. We're

486
00:29:55.400 --> 00:30:01.160
our own worst enemy. We speak things over ourselves that

487
00:30:01.640 --> 00:30:03.640
we allow the enemy to do what he does with

488
00:30:03.720 --> 00:30:06.880
us sometimes because we've spoken it into existence. So we

489
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.079
have to understand what does the word of God say

490
00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.279
whether you see it? You know what faith is. Faith

491
00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:17.000
is not necessarily seeing it, but speaking what we know

492
00:30:17.200 --> 00:30:19.599
is truth. And you have to just be surrounded with

493
00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:21.920
people that know truth. And that's the same thing in

494
00:30:21.960 --> 00:30:26.240
our healthcare systems and being very wise with who your

495
00:30:26.640 --> 00:30:29.680
health practitioners are and who your inner circle is.

496
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:32.599
I'm going to say this and then have my co

497
00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.759
hosts come on, and also some of the folks in

498
00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:39.119
the audience have a question, just type it in. But yeah,

499
00:30:39.400 --> 00:30:41.400
I had to be honest, and God kept saying, the

500
00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:43.640
Holy Spirit kept saying, you know, you got to be honest, right,

501
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.400
you got to be honest and my daughter's on me

502
00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.359
because I have to. I've got to my document everything

503
00:30:49.400 --> 00:30:52.119
I'm doing, even if I do light exercise, I got

504
00:30:52.119 --> 00:30:54.480
the document it. I take my blood pressure so many

505
00:30:54.559 --> 00:30:57.480
times a week. I take my gluecose level thingy so

506
00:30:57.599 --> 00:30:59.920
many times a week, and I've got to document every

507
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:02.920
thing and my food and I'm like, oh my god,

508
00:31:03.359 --> 00:31:05.319
and you know, and then you've got little, you know,

509
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:08.559
healthy videos that I have to watch and everything. So

510
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:10.599
they're looking to see are you going to be compliant?

511
00:31:10.640 --> 00:31:13.440
And I had to say to the actual holistic doctor,

512
00:31:13.880 --> 00:31:17.039
you know, I give you permission to push me. And

513
00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:19.000
he looked at me. I said, I give you permission

514
00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:22.240
because I know I have a strong personality. I know

515
00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:25.759
I sound so affirmative and so I sound so much

516
00:31:25.799 --> 00:31:28.279
in charge and all this kind of stuff. And I'm

517
00:31:28.279 --> 00:31:32.079
an advocate for others. I advocated in the hospital. Yes,

518
00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:34.400
but now I need to be talking to myself because

519
00:31:34.440 --> 00:31:37.119
now look where I'm at. Now, Look where I'm at now.

520
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:39.119
And I had to get rid of people which was

521
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:42.599
causing me stress. Had to let him go, so I

522
00:31:43.079 --> 00:31:46.200
give permission. I'd let them know. The nurse practitioner at

523
00:31:46.200 --> 00:31:48.640
the hospital, I told her I said, I give you

524
00:31:48.720 --> 00:31:51.720
permission to push me. Now, I do warn them that

525
00:31:51.759 --> 00:31:53.880
I'm a social worker. I can I'll talk to anybody.

526
00:31:53.920 --> 00:31:55.880
So if you need to tell me to be quiet,

527
00:31:55.880 --> 00:31:58.079
be nice about it now, please don't don't. Don't hurt

528
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.440
my feelings. But you know, I know, and I have

529
00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:04.000
to be quiet. And I had to be brutally honest.

530
00:32:04.480 --> 00:32:06.160
I went to Sprouts and I tried to get me

531
00:32:06.240 --> 00:32:08.720
some lettuce that had organic on it. And I'm like,

532
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:10.720
who eats this stuff?

533
00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:10.960
Who?

534
00:32:11.960 --> 00:32:15.279
Who? Who? Oh my god. I was just doing like

535
00:32:15.599 --> 00:32:18.920
I was contorting and everything, like I don't want to

536
00:32:18.920 --> 00:32:21.000
eat this. I don't want to eat this that don't

537
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.720
taste right, you know. And I said, they're lying. They're

538
00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:26.519
lying when they talked about oh this is good and

539
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:30.359
yeah it's good. All right, it's nasty. But anyway, all right, guys,

540
00:32:30.440 --> 00:32:33.480
y'all mute yourselves and Tammy, are you up to taking

541
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:38.039
a couple of questions right now? Shipping that? Okay? Go ahead, guys,

542
00:32:38.400 --> 00:32:40.240
if you have any questions. If you don't, that's fine.

543
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:43.480
I think Misty, we answered your question about what is inflammation.

544
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:46.279
I think we did a pretty good job on that.

545
00:32:46.400 --> 00:32:49.559
But does everyone have inflammation and how can we know

546
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.000
if it is bad. That's a good one.

547
00:32:52.079 --> 00:32:56.480
So, yes, everybody has some level of inflammation because we

548
00:32:56.599 --> 00:33:00.319
have to remember where information comes from. And if unless

549
00:33:00.319 --> 00:33:04.720
somebody is an absolute perfect health. If you have eye

550
00:33:04.759 --> 00:33:10.319
blood pressure, it can cause inflammation. If you have high cholesterol,

551
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:12.799
it can cause inflammation. If you get a cut on

552
00:33:12.839 --> 00:33:16.119
your finger, you're going to have inflammation. So there are

553
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:21.119
different things that trigger. Now is all inflammation the say no.

554
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.200
So some of that is very protective in nature because

555
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:31.960
our body was created to create an inflammatory response for healing.

556
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:38.079
It's when inflammation goes unchecked and becomes chronic in nature.

557
00:33:38.519 --> 00:33:40.720
So now you have to start to look at some

558
00:33:40.880 --> 00:33:49.359
of those chronic disease processes. Unhealthy habits, stress can cause inflammation.

559
00:33:49.559 --> 00:33:52.960
So if anybody has stress, they can have inflammation. If

560
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:56.599
anybody has sleeping issues and we're not getting enough sleep

561
00:33:56.599 --> 00:34:00.680
at night, we can have inflammation if we're fatigued. So

562
00:34:01.039 --> 00:34:05.240
any insult to the body, the body was created to

563
00:34:05.440 --> 00:34:08.119
create an inflammatory response, but it was meant to heal.

564
00:34:08.719 --> 00:34:10.719
But the problem is is if we stay in that

565
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:16.159
state for long periods of time, it becomes an unhealthy

566
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:20.159
inflammatory response to the body. But it's not like you

567
00:34:20.880 --> 00:34:23.559
fix the inflammation. You got to fix your piece of paper.

568
00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.239
This is gray.

569
00:34:24.559 --> 00:34:27.119
We got to get to that bottom piece of paper

570
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:29.079
and then everything can fall down.

571
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:32.760
We had a question, she said, this food does do

572
00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.280
this to us? Foods do this to us.

573
00:34:35.760 --> 00:34:40.559
Yes, so, yes, food can cause inflammation. But everybody's body

574
00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:44.519
responds differently to food. So it's not like I can

575
00:34:44.599 --> 00:34:47.440
give you a list of foods. Well, I could give

576
00:34:47.480 --> 00:34:51.159
you a list of foods that have more inflammatory problems,

577
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:58.239
like gluten, some dairies, but everybody's body responds to food differently,

578
00:34:58.320 --> 00:35:00.519
so you really have to know your and this is

579
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:04.719
where you work with your practitioner to look at inflammatory markers.

580
00:35:04.719 --> 00:35:08.360
And again, if you have lab work like a CRP

581
00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:13.119
or in the ESR said, right, there are labs, and

582
00:35:13.199 --> 00:35:15.519
if they're looking at those labs, then we're going to like, okay,

583
00:35:15.559 --> 00:35:18.440
if we adjust your eating and we repeat those labs,

584
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.119
are we going to see those numbers come down? Just

585
00:35:21.199 --> 00:35:23.800
like with the diabetes, if you have high blood sugar,

586
00:35:23.840 --> 00:35:27.280
if we change your eating, we should start to see

587
00:35:27.320 --> 00:35:29.639
me numbers come down. Now, granted they may have to

588
00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.960
add medications to the mix to help do that, but

589
00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:36.440
the goal, if they can, is to get you to

590
00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:44.199
be balanced and ask food and exercise and sleep and relaxation.

591
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:48.239
Holistic is better. I just want to say something before

592
00:35:49.039 --> 00:35:51.199
having your answer that then, Miguel, I'm not sure if

593
00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:55.559
you have some question, but it always bewildered me when

594
00:35:55.559 --> 00:35:59.079
you see a person as overweight. I've been overweight, but

595
00:35:59.159 --> 00:36:02.320
I've not had metal issues and things like that. Then

596
00:36:02.440 --> 00:36:05.400
there are times I was in denial and didn't want

597
00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:08.039
to hear it either. I want to Oh, I look

598
00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.039
like my aunt Vi, and I look like my aunt Gloria,

599
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.000
you know, and they're always overweight, you know, and they

600
00:36:13.079 --> 00:36:15.760
seem to be okay. But after a certain age, all

601
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:19.199
of a sudden, my health begin at the teariorate. Then

602
00:36:19.239 --> 00:36:22.239
I have some skinny friends, some skinny associates, you know,

603
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.199
that are super skinny. They look like they're and they

604
00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:28.039
can run a mile or whatever. But yet they got

605
00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:31.320
knee arthritis in the knee, and and and you know,

606
00:36:31.400 --> 00:36:34.800
and things like that, and they got psoriasis, you know, Egzima,

607
00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:38.000
something happening. And I'm like, how can that because you

608
00:36:38.119 --> 00:36:41.880
look like you're in shape. What's the name the singer,

609
00:36:41.960 --> 00:36:46.679
the young girl, She was very overweight. Uh, Fizzo, Pizzo,

610
00:36:47.079 --> 00:36:51.679
not Fizzo, is it Lizzo? Lizzo Lizzo. Everybody's like, oh

611
00:36:51.760 --> 00:36:54.760
my god, you're grossly overweight. You got to lose the weight.

612
00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.559
She goes, no, I'm healthy, I'm fine. But you can

613
00:36:57.559 --> 00:37:00.800
hear that breathing. You can hear her breathing between things.

614
00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:02.679
But now she she went and had all the gastro

615
00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:04.480
or whatever, and now she's you know, that had the

616
00:37:04.480 --> 00:37:07.559
weight taken off. But she you know, plus sized women

617
00:37:07.559 --> 00:37:10.559
who are huge, There wasn't nothing wrong with me. And

618
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.320
you could barely walk, you could, you could hear the

619
00:37:13.320 --> 00:37:15.280
breathing and stuff. So we're in a lot of denial,

620
00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:17.880
is what I want to say, pastor go ahead if

621
00:37:17.920 --> 00:37:18.599
you had a question.

622
00:37:19.199 --> 00:37:21.199
I was going to say that that a lot of

623
00:37:21.239 --> 00:37:25.440
people want to go to doctor Google to self diagnose,

624
00:37:25.800 --> 00:37:30.280
and people don't understand that that we're all individuals. We

625
00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:35.840
all are made differently, and and what may work for

626
00:37:35.960 --> 00:37:39.639
one person may not be the right dosage for for

627
00:37:39.719 --> 00:37:45.079
another person. And and you know, uh doctor uh Tammy

628
00:37:45.239 --> 00:37:48.760
was correct. Yeah, it's always good to be proactive and reactive,

629
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:53.639
and we're always we're always and to take what you

630
00:37:53.719 --> 00:37:55.840
just said, Miss Gray, is that we're all in denial.

631
00:37:56.280 --> 00:38:00.119
And you know, as a matter of fact, it's so funny,

632
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:03.159
you know, in Europe, when you eat the food in Europe,

633
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.519
especially in Italy, it's so amazing. I can eat gobs

634
00:38:07.840 --> 00:38:12.440
and gobs and gobs of pasta and not feel full.

635
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:16.400
Whereas I come to the United States, I eat half

636
00:38:16.480 --> 00:38:20.480
a plate of pasta and you have to roll me

637
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:24.679
out of the out of the restaurant because I'm so full.

638
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:29.079
And people don't understand that there's some stuff that goes

639
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.639
into our food that does not belong into our body.

640
00:38:33.119 --> 00:38:39.719
And another thing that we've touched on, Sister k I agree,

641
00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:42.960
it is very informative. One of the other things that

642
00:38:43.039 --> 00:38:47.760
my Gena and I were talking about today. As we

643
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:52.599
grow older, we eat to eat less. We don't need

644
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.079
to eat the same amount of food that we used

645
00:38:55.119 --> 00:38:59.079
to when we were twenty five, because at twenty five

646
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:03.440
we're more active than we are for six years thoughts,

647
00:39:03.440 --> 00:39:09.079
you know, and this way we have to understand, we

648
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.840
need to stop eating with our eyes and follow what

649
00:39:13.000 --> 00:39:16.719
the Bible says. You know, when Jesus fed the five thousand,

650
00:39:16.920 --> 00:39:21.480
they ate enough till they were key word satis fine,

651
00:39:22.199 --> 00:39:28.000
not disgustingly full, satisfied. People don't understand that you have

652
00:39:28.079 --> 00:39:31.400
to eat, you have to stop, let it all kind

653
00:39:31.400 --> 00:39:34.880
of settle in, and then you go, okay, I'm done.

654
00:39:35.280 --> 00:39:37.679
Not eat to the point where you're like, okay, I'm full,

655
00:39:37.719 --> 00:39:40.840
and then ten minutes later you're like, I gotta unbuckle

656
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.760
my belt because I'm about to blow up. And it's

657
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:44.800
all a matter.

658
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:46.000
Of educating yourself.

659
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.199
And to the point that you mentioned, when you go

660
00:39:49.239 --> 00:39:53.079
see a doctor, please and I and I do medicare,

661
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:56.719
so I tell my clients this, When you go see

662
00:39:56.719 --> 00:40:01.000
a doctor, you go in there with your pad questions.

663
00:40:01.079 --> 00:40:04.360
You go in there with questions. First the doctor's too

664
00:40:04.400 --> 00:40:07.519
busy looking at his watch and not answering his question,

665
00:40:08.079 --> 00:40:12.039
time to look for another doctor, because your health is

666
00:40:12.159 --> 00:40:16.199
absolutely vital. You have to live with you for the

667
00:40:16.199 --> 00:40:18.639
rest of your life. And if the doctor's not going

668
00:40:18.719 --> 00:40:22.639
to take the time to answer your questions, then are

669
00:40:22.679 --> 00:40:25.760
you a number, are you a paycheck or are you

670
00:40:25.880 --> 00:40:29.360
a patient? That's one thing I always tell my clients,

671
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:32.280
you need to sit down and you need to just

672
00:40:32.480 --> 00:40:34.320
go in there. And if the doctor sees you with

673
00:40:34.360 --> 00:40:36.719
a pat and he rolls his eyes. You just say,

674
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.119
thank you so much, I'll find me another doctor.

675
00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:42.800
This is wrong with our VA veterans now because at

676
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:46.519
the veteran the VA, they go in and they've they've

677
00:40:46.559 --> 00:40:49.800
got a fifteen minute assessment if that, and they ask

678
00:40:49.880 --> 00:40:52.519
you three questions. How are you sleeping? How are you eating?

679
00:40:52.599 --> 00:40:55.519
Are they any changes? Okay, just roll out and give

680
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:58.400
the pad. I've had veterans to come to me for therapy,

681
00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.400
and I'm like, well, and of course to be able

682
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:05.159
accept outside, you know folk. But that's all they are

683
00:41:05.199 --> 00:41:08.000
asking them is three questions. And they're rewriting the scripts

684
00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:10.360
and say we'll see you in another ninety days, you know,

685
00:41:10.639 --> 00:41:12.719
and you have to do that. I didn't want to

686
00:41:12.800 --> 00:41:16.280
leave my practitioner, you know, I really appreciated him and everything,

687
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.519
but he got you know, nurses in there, I mean practice,

688
00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.519
you know, arns and stuff, and they just they was

689
00:41:23.639 --> 00:41:26.440
just not willing and listen. They weren't willing to listen.

690
00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:28.239
And I said, no, this is not going to be

691
00:41:28.280 --> 00:41:30.199
good and I have to move on. All right, where

692
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.519
my audience at y'all have any questions. We only have

693
00:41:32.559 --> 00:41:34.679
a few more minutes. As you know, this flies. I

694
00:41:34.719 --> 00:41:37.119
believe in natural cures. If nature didn't make it, don't

695
00:41:37.119 --> 00:41:39.599
take it, Okay, Mickey. Well we got to get there, though,

696
00:41:40.400 --> 00:41:42.559
We got to get there, and we got to have

697
00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:46.719
those reliable places that do have the natural resources. Thank you, Hey,

698
00:41:46.880 --> 00:41:50.360
ld K, that's Tennessee checking in. Thank you. No, God

699
00:41:50.440 --> 00:41:53.320
is good, this is God. This is all God, trust me.

700
00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:56.400
And I knew it was only one person, a trainer's trainer,

701
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:59.440
a teacher's teacher that would and and and she she

702
00:41:59.519 --> 00:42:04.719
will straight. Now you know, now you know, and you

703
00:42:04.760 --> 00:42:07.039
can't not trade. You got something you want to say.

704
00:42:07.239 --> 00:42:10.960
Yeah, I mean, this is very informative. But I'm and

705
00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:13.960
I'm listening to pastor too when he said about the

706
00:42:13.960 --> 00:42:17.039
different foods. I've had people that go to different countries, uh,

707
00:42:17.079 --> 00:42:19.440
and they said, the chick like the chicken. It tastes

708
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.079
totally different than than over here. And we look at

709
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:27.760
how they're they're there, how they feed the animals, and

710
00:42:27.840 --> 00:42:32.159
the pesticides that go on our vegetables. And I'm constantly

711
00:42:32.199 --> 00:42:34.760
seeing this has been recalled, this is that's been recalled.

712
00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.559
I said, what in the world, what is it that

713
00:42:37.639 --> 00:42:38.239
you can't eat?

714
00:42:38.400 --> 00:42:39.239
It's to the point.

715
00:42:39.079 --> 00:42:42.760
Where it's probably best to grow your own stuff because

716
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:44.400
you know what you put on it or get. I

717
00:42:44.400 --> 00:42:47.159
see people now getting chickens and so in Virginia, I

718
00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:49.320
think they had like rented chicken, get your own chicken,

719
00:42:49.400 --> 00:42:54.480
do your own eggs so which I mean, I've gotten

720
00:42:54.519 --> 00:42:58.880
fresh eggs before from a farm and they taste totally

721
00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:00.960
different than than the store.

722
00:43:01.400 --> 00:43:01.719
I mean.

723
00:43:01.800 --> 00:43:05.639
So it's it's scary. And I think a lot of

724
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:06.840
people are stressed too.

725
00:43:07.239 --> 00:43:09.960
So if I'm not mistaken, is that cortisol that kind

726
00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.119
of helps you blow up to related to stress?

727
00:43:13.199 --> 00:43:15.280
You know, people are stressed related to.

728
00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:20.039
Situations going on work, you know, family situations, financial stuff,

729
00:43:20.519 --> 00:43:24.920
you know, relationship, all kinds of mess and and and

730
00:43:26.320 --> 00:43:28.360
it's easy to be inframed.

731
00:43:28.400 --> 00:43:30.920
I think I'm not putting an excuse on it, but

732
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:31.719
it is.

733
00:43:31.840 --> 00:43:34.719
You know, some some people in a stressful situation and

734
00:43:35.840 --> 00:43:38.119
I don't like I said, God, God is the one

735
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:40.719
that can pull us out of it. And so that's

736
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:43.480
where I pulled my strength. As I tell you, it's

737
00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:44.199
it's sad.

738
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:44.960
It is.

739
00:43:46.960 --> 00:43:48.519
The only thing just piggyback on you.

740
00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.639
It's great is that with the with the v A.

741
00:43:51.760 --> 00:43:54.960
If you do have some some clients that come in

742
00:43:55.079 --> 00:43:57.840
or whatever, ask them to ask their the v A

743
00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:01.039
if they can also see outside provider.

744
00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:03.559
Because sometimes they are able to do the both.

745
00:44:03.840 --> 00:44:08.280
Because VA's long list of the waiting list for appointments,

746
00:44:08.559 --> 00:44:10.840
it might be able to get to the primary care first,

747
00:44:11.239 --> 00:44:14.159
and then sometimes they'll work better alongside each other where

748
00:44:14.159 --> 00:44:17.079
they're getting the care quicker at the outside, but the

749
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.880
VAS fills in where they can, especially with the medication work.

750
00:44:21.000 --> 00:44:23.920
Amen, thank you, thank you. We only have a couple

751
00:44:23.960 --> 00:44:28.519
of minutes, Tammy, please words of wisdom. However it needs

752
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:30.360
to come out, let's do it because we're going to

753
00:44:30.400 --> 00:44:32.679
have you on again, so I have to. I'm gonna

754
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:35.119
have to schedule you six months six months early. I'll

755
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:38.239
be looking at the calendar tomorrow, but we'll get you

756
00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:40.440
back on here before the end of the year. Because

757
00:44:40.440 --> 00:44:42.119
we're going to talk about some other medical things. But

758
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:44.280
please share your heart take us home.

759
00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:50.239
So agreeing with Pastor Miguel also the food is it

760
00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:53.320
can be disheartening as we look at what we have

761
00:44:53.480 --> 00:44:55.000
available to us.

762
00:44:55.320 --> 00:44:57.039
But where I'm going to tell you is put your

763
00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.400
eyes on the Lord. You know that even and he

764
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:02.920
knows where we live, he knows what we have access to,

765
00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:06.199
what we can do is what we have control of.

766
00:45:06.360 --> 00:45:09.000
I mean, there are definitely things outside of our control.

767
00:45:09.039 --> 00:45:14.719
And unfortunately, the way our country processes food, it's awful.

768
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:18.039
It doesn't taste the same, it doesn't hit the same.

769
00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:20.719
I could tell you also, I was over in Europe

770
00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:24.039
and I ate for a week and gained nothing. It

771
00:45:24.159 --> 00:45:27.679
was beautiful. I'd go away for a weekend here and

772
00:45:27.719 --> 00:45:31.760
gain like seven pounds and my body doesn't feel the same.

773
00:45:31.840 --> 00:45:35.000
So it is very disheartening to know what we have

774
00:45:35.199 --> 00:45:39.440
access to here in the realm of food. But where

775
00:45:39.480 --> 00:45:43.239
I lean in on is I'm like, Lord, you know

776
00:45:43.320 --> 00:45:46.679
that I'm yours, I'm your servant. So I pray for

777
00:45:46.760 --> 00:45:51.079
hedges of protection. I do know that he is that

778
00:45:51.199 --> 00:45:55.039
miracle working God. I have choices to make, and how

779
00:45:55.079 --> 00:45:58.280
do I make the best choices with what I have

780
00:45:58.480 --> 00:46:02.159
access to? And I know everybody has different access. Like

781
00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:04.840
we talked about with insurance, you have different access. We

782
00:46:04.880 --> 00:46:07.559
have different access when it comes to our finances. We

783
00:46:07.599 --> 00:46:12.679
have different access to who our inner circle is for advice.

784
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:16.280
But what we do is we ask for wisdom. We

785
00:46:16.320 --> 00:46:19.679
make the best choices with what we have available to us.

786
00:46:20.239 --> 00:46:24.559
I pray everybody has a church community, because at least

787
00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:27.920
I know where the Lord is is going to be

788
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:31.559
the best foundation to go to, and they can hopefully

789
00:46:32.079 --> 00:46:36.039
connect you with people that have some wisdom or some

790
00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:40.679
ability to share. Then it is the responsibility of the

791
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:43.920
person to follow advice. How many times if we had

792
00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:47.920
an alter call and pray for people and then they

793
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:50.440
turn around and do the very thing that led them

794
00:46:50.440 --> 00:46:52.760
to the alter call. So it's like, we have to

795
00:46:53.159 --> 00:46:56.320
we have to make those choices, and we know choosing

796
00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:00.239
wisely is not easy. We know that the enemy is

797
00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:03.239
out to kill, still and destroy, so we have to

798
00:47:03.280 --> 00:47:08.119
be prayed up and guess what, it's a daily the daily.

799
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:12.840
It is daily, and not to get to when we fall,

800
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:16.000
because guess what, we're human. We're going to fall. We're

801
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:18.480
going to make pad choices. But the thing is is

802
00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:21.400
we have to get back up and seek out those

803
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:26.000
that can bring wisdom and help make the choices that

804
00:47:26.360 --> 00:47:29.320
are going to be healthy choices. There are we all

805
00:47:29.360 --> 00:47:31.000
can look at some of the choices we have and

806
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:34.239
just today and are wise enough to know if we

807
00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:37.519
were being honest that was a healthy choice, that was

808
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:41.519
an unhealthy choice. Doing the healthy choices is not easy,

809
00:47:41.639 --> 00:47:44.559
So please don't mistake and anything I said today. It

810
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:47.880
is not easy, but we take it one day at time.

811
00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:51.800
Amen. That's it, guys. Hey, thank you. I will see

812
00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:55.119
you next week, same time, same station. Y'all. Stay safe.

813
00:47:55.159 --> 00:47:56.639
Thank you, Tammy. I love you.
