[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_04]: Welcome everyone to the Health Show and I've got a very special guest today and I'm sure

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_04]: you've seen her a lot. Dr. Sasha Haddad and she has her handle of one's puna doctor

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_04]: on Oliver accounts, she's on TikTok, she's on Instagram, she's on YouTube and she's

[00:01:10] [SPEAKER_03]: I'm so excited. Thank you so much for bringing me on. King of all capses, right?

[00:01:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Not too far away. Not too far away at all. I feel me that cap after the sex.

[00:01:23] [SPEAKER_04]: So what we're going to do today with Dr. Haddad is we're going to go through some videos, but before

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_04]: we do that it's always nice to get to know the guests. So I know a little bit about her.

[00:01:34] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going to give you a little bit of background. I'm going to have her take it from there,

[00:01:37] [SPEAKER_04]: but I know that you went orange coast college down in the South of Orange County and I do

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_04]: have a quick little story. So I used to row and race against the OCC crews when I was at

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_03]: the OCC. Oh my god, I did not know that. But I don't know. I think I'm going to bet on you

[00:01:56] [SPEAKER_03]: Sally wrote him over OCC on this one personally, but you know they were great. But our tennis team

[00:02:02] [SPEAKER_04]: was good. Tennis team was good too. I mean, I'll tell you, they had a great athletic program because

[00:02:08] [SPEAKER_04]: on their website, they have like for the rowing team on the rowing website, the OCC Orange

[00:02:13] [SPEAKER_04]: Coast College, they had the slogan Giant Killers because they were a small program,

[00:02:20] [SPEAKER_04]: but they were really good. And I don't know how they are now. I mean it's been a few years

[00:02:24] [SPEAKER_03]: since college. They've for me about truthfully. I agree. I mean, I had a great experience. I

[00:02:29] [SPEAKER_03]: were in Coast College and I think they're so adventurous. They have a lot of good programs

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_03]: and they're expanding. And last time I heard when I transferred because I went to OCC Davis,

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_03]: they're actually trying to make it into a Cal State. So I think they're expanding. I don't know

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_03]: they are in the process, but honestly it was a great program. A lot of different majors and they

[00:02:46] [SPEAKER_03]: excelled in different missions. And I played on tennis. I wasn't on the tennis team,

[00:02:51] [SPEAKER_03]: but that's my experience with the tennis athletic department. And that's why I'm like,

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I heard of the rowing team. I know they had a base to where it was at Newport.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, they were in the place. Yeah. Yeah. That's how I heard them. Like,

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_04]: I supported from a distance. Yeah. Well, the tennis player you'll appreciate that I've really

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_03]: gotten into pickle ball lately. Oh, I'm into beach tennis now yesterday. I would.

[00:03:14] [SPEAKER_03]: I visited one of my colleagues. She lives in Santa Monica. And it was an unexpected trip and that

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_03]: of normal like she placed tennis. And there was a whole team and marathon of beach tennis back

[00:03:25] [SPEAKER_03]: to back. And I think you know what? I think we should try beach tennis from now on with the weather

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_04]: is better at things for that. Yeah. Indeed. Well, I've been loving pickles. So maybe you might

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_03]: go over to the dark side at some point. Okay. Maybe I think I'm right on the dark side.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_04]: Does it get darker from here? I'm not sure. Yeah, beach tennis. Okay. So why don't you take us back

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_04]: about yourself so we get to know like where you grew up or you're from? I mean, going back,

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_04]: but maybe not out to the womb, but you know, getting good back. Not to the old. I'll tell you.

[00:03:57] [SPEAKER_03]: So I was born here in Newport Beach and then I grew up in Lebanon. And then 2013, I moved back to the

[00:04:03] [SPEAKER_03]: States. That's when I went to Orange Coast College. And then I transferred to UC Davis. I got

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_03]: my bachelor's degree in biological science at the time. It's some research to get gap here.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And with team gap here, I had some fun. I worked as a store manager for Agaprami and Fitch

[00:04:18] [SPEAKER_03]: behavior therapist for artistic kids. So I had some medicine, non-medicine. I was an artist. I did

[00:04:24] [SPEAKER_03]: run away for fashion. So it was a whole mixture of fun things. And then finally, I pursued and went

[00:04:29] [SPEAKER_03]: to medical school in Arizona, I went to 80 still, osteopathic medical school. Gradured and it came

[00:04:35] [SPEAKER_03]: back to California, and now we finally met a son of finishing off my residency. Let sounds great.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_04]: And I know you've got, you said one more year after this. Yeah. So you're starting to see a little

[00:04:44] [SPEAKER_03]: light at the end of the tunnel? Yeah. You know, I never saw the tunnel. I don't know what shape

[00:04:49] [SPEAKER_03]: we're in right now, but I don't think we're in the tunnel. I don't know direction anymore.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it's a bit clearer as we get through. Spoken like a true resident training.

[00:04:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you. Thank you. Can you tell by the gray hair and the wrinkles?

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_04]: You are getting there. Yeah, that means I'm a resident still. That's your criteria.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm still in residency. We'll believe it or not, I started off as a brunette. So

[00:05:15] [SPEAKER_04]: cap, we're a little bit like that. So maybe you can explain a little bit of the difference

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_04]: between the two types of medical schools because you went to osteopathic medical school versus

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_04]: like all allopathic. So like what's the difference with people understand? Actually, that's a very

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_03]: good question because truthfully coming from an international background, I had no idea what

[00:05:35] [SPEAKER_03]: osteopathic medicine was until I accidentally wanted a conference at UC Davis. It was the health

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_03]: pairs. And I actually went into a normal allopathic conference. It was booked out and I can

[00:05:51] [SPEAKER_03]: walk into a random conference and surprisingly it was an osteopathic medical board. And so

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_03]: it was that or the dental conference. I had to pick one, I picked the osteopathic conference.

[00:06:02] [SPEAKER_03]: And that was my first time hearing about osteopathic medicine. And for me, it was a bit taboo

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_03]: because not much was known abroad, especially in international, but what osteopathic medicine is.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_03]: And going back between the differences of osteopathic medicine, I would pathoc medicine,

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_03]: going back there's a father called the father of 80 still. He's this, basically physician

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_03]: was a doctor, Elopathic doctor, background back in the day. And he chose to do some of the

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_03]: osteopathic medicine where they look at the entire body as a unit of mind body and spirit.

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_03]: And the way that the approach is basically a most cool skeletal background with connecting

[00:06:38] [SPEAKER_03]: the different departments that impact your well-being. And at some point, there was emerged

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_03]: between the Elopathic and the osteopathic. So now you have what we call an osteopathic program

[00:06:49] [SPEAKER_03]: in an elopathic structure. So you do everything that the Elopathic program does that means you're

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_03]: taking all your requirements, your taking all your courses and mademy, pathology, physiology,

[00:07:01] [SPEAKER_03]: microbiology would take the same board exams. And at some point in California there was an

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_03]: merge but then the osteopathic side decided to part out because of some sort of training.

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_03]: So the differences that we have extra hours in our program of Muscles,

[00:07:15] [SPEAKER_03]: Cultural Training, we learn different methods and we look at the body a little bit differently.

[00:07:21] [SPEAKER_03]: So back in the day used to, you have someone come into the merge department,

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_03]: you have a broken hand, what we do is we fix it and we send him home. But now we try to understand

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_03]: all the different systems that impacted the fracture in the first place. So is this person coming

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_03]: from a background of poverty? Did you have to work in construction that wasn't safe?

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_03]: Was he under stress and depression that caused him to make an accident fall down break his hand?

[00:07:44] [SPEAKER_03]: In addition to that, a lot of conditions that are chronic conditions are just more than just

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_03]: the physiology. It's not just the pathology of the problem. You'd realize that it's just more

[00:07:54] [SPEAKER_03]: complicated. So their focus was trying to connect all the little pieces and dots, bring it all together,

[00:08:00] [SPEAKER_03]: learn a bunch of techniques. Some of which can create things chronically. They target the

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_03]: fascia, they target the muscle, they target the bones. And the theory is, a structure and function

[00:08:11] [SPEAKER_03]: are interrelated. And when one is off, the other is going to be off. For example, if you have

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Muscle pain, let's say your spine is not in the right position. It's going to strain the

[00:08:21] [SPEAKER_03]: surrounding muscle of the tissue. So for able to adjust and correct the problem, you're going

[00:08:27] [SPEAKER_03]: to fix the surrounding area, reduce inflammation. Now, not to say in the end of the day,

[00:08:31] [SPEAKER_03]: our physicians, correct? So if someone's going to come in for a chest pain, you're not going

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_03]: to adjust the spine. That's not how it works. A chiropractor also branch from the similar topic.

[00:08:40] [SPEAKER_03]: And their focus was the spinal structure and they do a lot of techniques called HVLA,

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_03]: which is hydrolocity, of course, hydrolocity amplitude. And so basically, here, the cracking.

[00:08:51] [SPEAKER_03]: So they have a combination of physical therapy, muscle, tissue, fascia. And they bring everything

[00:08:57] [SPEAKER_03]: together and they're related to the condition. So the way that I see it is that you have an

[00:09:01] [SPEAKER_03]: additional tool set in your toolbox that you can offer the patient, some things extra help,

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_03]: extra eye to help your patient out. But in the end of the day, I can get to same base. As you know,

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_03]: we go the same resident these days. We take the same board exams. Yes, I had to do double at some

[00:09:17] [SPEAKER_03]: points. I could take complex end step because of some, you know, residences required. But I think

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_03]: now after the merge, I was able to apply with both whether it's steps for a complex

[00:09:27] [SPEAKER_03]: for to the same residences. And that's where we are. I like that approach a lot because my own

[00:09:32] [SPEAKER_04]: personal experience, some I've had, for example, tendonitis, you know, from rowing in the elbow

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_04]: and has injections, et cetera, in the past when I had it. But I really didn't get the final relief

[00:09:44] [SPEAKER_04]: until I went to a physical therapist who understood that, you know, it's like muscle tension here

[00:09:50] [SPEAKER_04]: that's pulling down on the tendon here. So even with my wife, she had really, really bad,

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_04]: like you touched and she went like jumping off the table. He totally after like eight sessions

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_04]: with her and left with me relaxed these muscles upstream that were pulling on the tendon

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_04]: totally resolved. So that's just a great example of an allopathic approach even those physical

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_04]: therapists, but you know, that's just making your point that yeah, they are interconnecting

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_03]: systems. Yeah and I wanted to tell you know, even in our generation the thing that I'm seeing

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_03]: beautifully. And I see this good overlap of the allopathic and osteopathic world because I think

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_03]: right now when you go into medicine, people aren't just looking at the problem they're looking

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_03]: at it person as a whole and I think that's the goal for every physician. Once I'm going to walk

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_03]: in you're trying to figure out all the resources, of course, this and that's impacting them.

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_03]: How can we help them? Where would they come from? What's the background story? And we're not just

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_03]: trying to put that tape on the problem saying, okay, good luck, that's it. Take your medication,

[00:10:54] [SPEAKER_03]: come back. Yeah. So I think that there's this evolution, there's a lot of more thought and investment,

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_03]: especially in two mental wellness and socioeconomic factors, especially in Los Angeles and California.

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_03]: And hopefully I think that's a good overlap between both, which is something that it is again.

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think in the future that gap's going to continue to narrow too.

[00:11:15] [SPEAKER_03]: I agree. Hopefully, eventually we can get rid of the gap. Yes.

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_04]: I'll go. Mind the gap. Mind the gap. Exactly. Mind the gap. All right. Well, let's jump into

[00:11:24] [SPEAKER_04]: some of the TikTok videos because I know that's what everybody's here for and what we're

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_04]: going to do is we're going to play the videos and then we'll have a discussion and I've got my cap

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_04]: and you have your virtual cap and my virtual cap. And we'll see you in the next video.

[00:11:42] [SPEAKER_00]: Early in Harlem is still growing according to Manchester City doctors,

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_00]: even though he's 23. He grew about a centimeter, pushing his height from six foot four to almost

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_00]: six foot five. But how is this possible? Well, it's because he biohacks his body.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_00]: He eats foods like organ meats, oysters and raw milk, which increases testosterone,

[00:12:02] [SPEAKER_00]: a vital hormone needed for the production of human growth hormones. Along with that,

[00:12:08] [SPEAKER_00]: he also uses blue-like blocking glasses which protects a circadian rhythm. This increases the

[00:12:13] [SPEAKER_00]: quality of sleep, which also increases human growth hormones naturally. Which part of this

[00:12:19] [SPEAKER_04]: you want to do a diceack in this video? I don't know. I just love how it's just oozing

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_04]: manliness like the voice is so like, manly. And it's about the soccer player who's eating organ meats.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_03]: It's a very hot, you know? I felt like I grew taller through the video, you know?

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_03]: I see my biceps over here and bit the grew up too. I know there's so much going on with this video.

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_03]: I didn't know where to start. I'm like, okay, let me take a step back. I think they're covering so much

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_04]: in one video. Well, once you start doing your diceack in there, Sasha.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_03]: All right, you know, where do I start? Let's see. I'm going through this. You're the captain.

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_03]: Let's start with a growing taller from the 6-4 to the 6-5. Oh yeah, okay, let's talk about this.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_04]: It's 23. It's 23. Is this even possible? Adult? Holy grown adult?

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_03]: It's possible. If fully grown adult, in life is anything possible by nature, very early,

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_03]: potentially, maybe. But medically speaking, by the time that hit purity and your growth plates

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_03]: have views and everything has clothes and terms of bone width and high-growing taller,

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_03]: I highly disagree. I highly doubt. Unless something pathologically happened different.

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_03]: It could be maybe what people are seeing in terms of maybe they're measuring something differently.

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_03]: It can happen from measurement to measurement. Is it a different meter that they're using?

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_03]: Is it the clothing? Was he wearing shoes, not shoes in between measurements?

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Are they measuring the different hair caught? Maybe people measured differently?

[00:14:02] [SPEAKER_03]: I think it could be, basically, if it's different, depends who's taking the measurement.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_03]: What meter they're using? The hairstyle is a different. I had long hair and a bunch,

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_03]: or hair, not on your short hair. So medically speaking, height at the age of 23 after

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_03]: Puberty thinks have views I'd tell. What do you think?

[00:14:20] [SPEAKER_04]: No, I totally agree with you. I'm just kind of nodding all the time.

[00:14:23] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm like, yeah, I'm just like rubber and equine it. Yeah. So that's a 23 year old.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_04]: The 23 year old. And now is quick. 23. 23 year old. You know, growth plates are huge.

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, the growth plates are fused. I think there's a lot of hope in a video like this

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_04]: is going to attract a lot of attention because there's a lot of teenagers that want to get taller

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_04]: even adults and this is giving them this hope. It's like they're

[00:14:54] [SPEAKER_04]: smoking some hope in them. But it's false hope. It's false hope. It's starting out with catching.

[00:15:02] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah. I mean, you know, that's what goes viral or things where people have never heard

[00:15:05] [SPEAKER_04]: something before. That's very outlandish and extreme. And, you know, the algorithms love that

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_04]: because people rewatch it because they never saw it before. So yeah, I mean, but all the other

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_04]: explanations you gave are 100% plausible to explain why these measurements are different. And so

[00:15:22] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, you said it very eloquently. I mean, no need to repeat it. Now let's talk about some of

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_04]: there was the guy, the liver king. I do do you remember? Yeah, he would eat like raw

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_04]: liver and organ meats too. And actually, I have to say, you know, there's nothing unhealthy about that.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_04]: I personally like liver, not human liver, but, you know, I prefer not chicken liver. I'm very high

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_04]: nutrients. So a lot of these organ meats actually have a lot of nutrients in them. But in terms

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_04]: of helping somebody grow taller, especially in an adult that's not going to make a difference.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_04]: But he did talk about how it increases testosterone and, you know, I think having a protein in

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_04]: general helps testosterone as a building block. But the thing is the problem there, I think

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_04]: testosterone isn't responsible for growing even when people are teenagers, right? It's growth hormone.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_03]: Correct. I think when you look through the video, they sort of put everything back to back

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_03]: to the impression that all this is related to the height. And that's not necessarily true.

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_03]: And I do agree, even organ meats in general in our culture, we eat liver, raw liver. Of course,

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_03]: not human, preferably not. But it does have a lot of nutrients and does have a lot of vitamins,

[00:16:41] [SPEAKER_03]: especially vitamin A. Now, of course, people, I don't know if you've heard stories that have

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_03]: like a polar bit of liver, that's very toxic, especially vitamin A excess. So you don't want to go

[00:16:49] [SPEAKER_03]: that route in a big predator. But for the most part, as long as things, when you eat raw meat,

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_03]: that's more of a, in terms of handling the product and factions, parasites, things that has nothing

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_03]: to do with the elements. But the nutrients are present. And of course, building blocks and protein

[00:17:06] [SPEAKER_03]: can help. Of course, with the testosterone level, that could be plausible. That's fine. But in

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_03]: terms of height, I agree, especially in puberty, it goes back to growth hormone and goes back to

[00:17:16] [SPEAKER_03]: cortisol spikes in the morning. So that's I agree with. Do you want to pull your head on this one?

[00:17:22] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, so I mean, in terms of testosterone height, that's a negative cap there. Growth hormone is yes,

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_04]: which ties into the last part, which is he wears blue blocking glasses, which helps with better

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_04]: sleep. I do have to. Yep. But that is actually not cap. That blue blocking glasses do help people

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_04]: get better sleep because the blue light interferes with melatonin secretion, which can mess up your sleep.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_04]: So you can on your phone, you know, easily just put on the display mode, the night shift mode.

[00:17:55] [SPEAKER_04]: And it blocks the blue light on your phone or your computer. So you don't have to get the glasses.

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes. Would you agree with that? Yes. And even I agree. And even with the computer system, when

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_03]: you go through your laptop, some of them already set up automatically to have downtime. So the majority

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_03]: of the time is special when they look at and maybe your more experience in that department.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_03]: But when people go on to buy these glasses, just remember that understanding close to the seller

[00:18:18] [SPEAKER_03]: is important because not every glass is that you buy this being marketed as a blue light

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_03]: glasses or blocking glasses is correct. And a lot of people can't, you know, we have scamp products online.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_03]: So I do agree. That one is not a cap. That's not cap. But your explanation is very valid.

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_04]: Go ahead. I was just saying everyone can just save money and just have the blue light blocking

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_04]: on your devices because every device has that capability now. You don't have to even spend money on these

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_03]: glasses. I agree. I mean, I don't know what country maybe it's like a Nokia, a vacuum of the

[00:18:51] [SPEAKER_03]: day, but otherwise most features are very protectable and they're on our phones. And I think a lot

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_03]: of the up-to-date technology is trying to include themselves in the health and the health world. So I

[00:19:02] [SPEAKER_03]: think they're doing their best to protect us and shield us from that. If there is any reason where

[00:19:07] [SPEAKER_03]: that computer or that technology doesn't have it, then it might be a possibility, but I agree.

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_03]: Don't waste your money on something that you don't necessarily need. And what's better is also

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_03]: downtime. I mean, try to limit yourself from being on your phone or on your computer,

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, few hours prior to going to sleep. And I think that's even way better than all of this as well.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_04]: Great tip. Really good tip. Let your brain have a chance to sort of calm down before

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_03]: you hit the sack. Journal, listen to this podcast. You know, it just finds it step away.

[00:19:37] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, but this unsafe every night before you give it, just listen to us just kind of, you know,

[00:19:42] [SPEAKER_04]: bantering about. You'll fall asleep really fast probably. As long as it didn't have the exit button real quick.

[00:19:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Now let's just say somebody isn't adult and they're like, well, how can I get taller?

[00:19:55] [SPEAKER_04]: You know, I would probably say, you know, maybe work on your posture if you have bad posture.

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_04]: I mean, that can help you physically. Like, here I am sort of talking like this, but if I just have

[00:20:05] [SPEAKER_04]: good posture, I popped up a couple inches. And anything else we want to add to, you know, just easy things to do.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_03]: Well, things that I've noticed as well, the biggest thing is posture. Like you said, if I'm hunched back

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_03]: them in this position, I'm going to peer shorter. And you see that with people who run older,

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_03]: stretching, exercising physical activity, just being and good health overall, watching out

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_03]: or dying, having that sleep, giving your ability, giving your body the time to heal overnight.

[00:20:33] [SPEAKER_03]: Because you put so much on it during the day and recovering. And so those are the things that I

[00:20:37] [SPEAKER_03]: would recommend for someone to stay in shape and maintain their physique. And of course,

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_03]: you know, building that muscle strength and bone health. Those are the things that people should

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_03]: look into, especially when they're getting older. Because what I think about is like an investment.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_03]: Do you want to invest when you're young in your bone health and your muscle mass? Because that's

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_03]: going to pay back for you, especially when you're older. Great advice, you know, being healthy,

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_04]: putting in the time now, you're going to get those dividends when you're older. Like you would never

[00:21:07] [SPEAKER_04]: know, but I'm like 85. Are you? I was not true. Which is not true. Yeah. I was ready for you.

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_04]: Here we go. I was really happy. It was a bulk up. Okay. Well, let's hit another video here.

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. So you want to play this second one, Sasha? I'm very excited. Okay. Here we go.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: The second one. I don't know who needs to hear this is probably your boyfriend, but

[00:21:29] [SPEAKER_02]: sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes or longer is not healthy. If you take you around 30

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: minutes to use the bathroom, you need more fruits and vegetables in your diet. I don't care what

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_03]: you say you're not healthy. All right. I think this was actually a good advice. And the reason why

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_03]: I say this is because if you're just bored and you're spending time on the toilet, but for any

[00:21:49] [SPEAKER_03]: reason if you're struggling and you're sitting there for 30 minutes and you're straining,

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_03]: you're applying so much pressure. That's not good in the long run. We have spinked her as that

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_03]: allow you. There's two things, right? You have involuntary involuntary things that you can control

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_03]: to have your bells moved through. So if you're straining a lot of people end up having hemorrhoids

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_03]: and things down the line because you're applying so much pressure. So I would say in terms of

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_03]: the fruits, the vegetables, the food intake to help not be constipated as a keyword. I don't think

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_04]: this is cap. My cap is off on this one. That's true. I agree. I like it a lot. Yeah, I 100% agree with

[00:22:27] [SPEAKER_04]: you. I like this video a lot because a lot of people don't realize maybe they're spending so

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_04]: much time at that. That's a symptom of maybe not enough fiber fibers, a good bulking agent for

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_04]: dual to help it keep moving. Right. And actually I just did a video not too long ago and I

[00:22:44] [SPEAKER_04]: researched it and loan behold watermelon has a lot of fiber and the right. But I like the fiber.

[00:22:50] [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I have sugar too. But the right even has if you can't have a lot of sugar or your diabetic

[00:22:56] [SPEAKER_04]: and then maybe suggest just eating the right of the watermelon because that's got a lot of

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_03]: fiber even. Yeah. So fibers really keep it up. Now it's worth it. It's worth keeping the entire

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_03]: watermelon. You don't have to throw out. Now we know what to do with it. Well, I'm at home now.

[00:23:11] [SPEAKER_04]: Literally since I did this video, I went out. I bought watermelon and I'm eating a slice and

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm actually eating the rind. It's like it's okay to eat the rind and like my kids are like

[00:23:23] [SPEAKER_03]: you know what's going to happen now? Since you mentioned this, you're going to watch all the

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_03]: random individual rind being sold right now in the markets. Whole food selling rinds for market.

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_03]: But they're going to cut the water melon separately from the rind and they're going to charge

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_03]: it's up for their rind. You know, I went down. But you know, another thing that I would say too

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_03]: is positioning a lot of people probably don't know this but we I talked about a video not too long

[00:23:49] [SPEAKER_03]: ago but positioning right if other things that people have done is people can actually get like a

[00:23:55] [SPEAKER_03]: low stool chair where they can actually place their feet just to give them the elevation because

[00:24:00] [SPEAKER_03]: again, right? This picture the way that is you have like a sling right? The more comfortable the

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_03]: sling, the more open. The pipe is not fog things can go through easily so it's also positioning

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_03]: yourself if you don't want to buy the stool chair, you don't have to spend your money what you can

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_03]: do is kind of like curl up to create that degrees to help things pull through. So that's another

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_04]: tip as well. So body positioning is helpful. Do you think about hydration? I mean yeah hydration

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_03]: all especially in this heat is very important. I think people can take fiber but it doesn't

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_03]: help if you're not hydrating well. So the key element here is you have to be able to hydrate

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_03]: you have to have enough fluids and you know to have things go through and I always tell people

[00:24:41] [SPEAKER_03]: imagine you have a pipe that pipe you have an obstruction, have blockages things are hard to push

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_03]: through. You have to try to look for five things and make things as easy for it to go through the

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_03]: and out the exit both hands you have to look at both hands. As I recall it's been a while since

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_04]: I'm going back to the day in school but the large intestine or is the area of the intestine that

[00:25:04] [SPEAKER_04]: actually extracts water from the stool. So if somebody's dehydrated it's gonna take water out of the

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_04]: stool in the large intestine which is what makes it harder and slower for people to pass. Is that right?

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_03]: Yes correct you're not wrong correct then you get pellets and then you get both and

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_04]: it's not good. Yeah so another reason to say really hydrate it. Any other tips or what about people who

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_04]: take them over the counter type of laxatives with those be healthy or not healthy? Great

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_03]: question because when we talk about over the counter-aloxidives the problem is that a lot of people

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_03]: take them and don't know how much you take and don't know when to stop and things become part of

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_03]: their habit part of their ritual and then you have more side effects than benefits with being on a

[00:25:57] [SPEAKER_03]: chronic oxidative and that's something that we see all the time. And so my biggest advice is that

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_03]: if someone's gonna decide to go in a oxidative if there's a trial where you know what you're having

[00:26:08] [SPEAKER_03]: this is the first time you're experiencing something very difficult you want to try something over

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_03]: counter for one time or two times shot not a problem but once you make a habit out of the laxative

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_03]: I think we need to take a step back and talk to your physician because one you don't know if

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_03]: you have certain medical conditions that are causing you to be this constipated or obstructed

[00:26:31] [SPEAKER_03]: and other things are medications a lot of people are taking medications you don't want to have

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_03]: the laxatives interact with the medications that you're taking and just remember that the more

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_03]: laxatives you have at some point it's gonna cause a rebound effect and you're going to have

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_03]: more problems down for a lot so it's not necessarily the good answer the good answer is if you

[00:26:49] [SPEAKER_03]: try it once in a while it's a trial and every try it helpful in time okay if it continues to

[00:26:54] [SPEAKER_03]: happen always talk to your doctor because you never know what's going on underneath and make sure

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_04]: it's safe for you and how much take and when to stop. Well said okay so everybody we're going to
