[00:00:00] Speaker A: Welcome back to the she Said podcast with Amy and Lisa. Hi. And we're back. [00:00:05] Speaker B: It's a good day. [00:00:06] Speaker A: Yeah, it's gonna rain. [00:00:07] Speaker B: I got to squeeze out one more set of sweat for the summer hits. I'm addicted to them. [00:00:12] Speaker A: I actually wore a turtleneck sweater up here. [00:00:15] Speaker B: Wow. [00:00:15] Speaker A: Because I was freezing Friday. It was so cold. [00:00:18] Speaker B: Wow. I'm impressed. [00:00:19] Speaker A: It's crazy. Yeah. [00:00:20] Speaker B: I've not worn a turtleneck in a while. [00:00:22] Speaker A: Oh, man. I was freezing. [00:00:23] Speaker B: Yeah. So anyway, so, yeah, I've got probably every sweatpants suit and every color. It's kind of a joke with my friends, but I can't get over them. [00:00:30] Speaker A: All right. [00:00:31] Speaker B: So anyways. Okay. Well, I noticed when you walked in, you look really pretty because for no, if you guys obviously can't see her, but she has on kind of a leopard print with browns in it. And I noticed immediately that your skin looked warmer in color than I see it when you wear black, so. Which made me wonder, have you ever had your colors done? [00:00:50] Speaker A: No. [00:00:51] Speaker B: You need to. [00:00:51] Speaker A: I know I do. I've heard great things about it. Yes. But that's weird, because pre cancer, everything's pre cancer during and post. But pre cancer, I was a reddish brown hair person, brunette, and then now I'm platinum, and so my whole color changed. [00:01:06] Speaker B: Did your hair come back platinum? [00:01:07] Speaker A: No, it came back grab gray. [00:01:12] Speaker B: That wasn't on the the list of things. [00:01:14] Speaker A: No, it comes back without any color. Usually it comes back just okay, like you're 99 years old. So then I went platinum. So it's a whole different color because I had to change my makeup color to change lipstick color, everything. Because wearing the same and even, like, white. If I wear white now with this hair. [00:01:32] Speaker B: Yeah. No, when you look at my before picture, I went in that day wearing a white T shirt, and it really was shocking to see. I'm considered like a warm paint. A warm paint box. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Spring. [00:01:43] Speaker B: So you have spring, summer, winter, falls, and there really is a different color palette for all of it. And then that you can get styled in, which I've not done that before, but, man, I'm telling you, getting your colors in is like, life changing. [00:01:56] Speaker A: Yeah, I should do that. [00:01:57] Speaker B: You really should. I think it was about $250 when I did it. I'm sure it's probably the same. I went to a girl called Coded in color is her Instagram. It's like coded.in. color. Her name's Crystal, and she's got a great team. It's a great gift that keeps on giving forever. And ever and ever just wondered because I thought you looked good in this color. [00:02:17] Speaker A: I used to wear brown when I was pre. When I was brown headed I wore browns and I remember always got compliments. But then I kind of get away from it. [00:02:26] Speaker B: It makes a difference, it really does. [00:02:28] Speaker A: I'll have to try it and see. I do feel like I've gotten, I've started getting a little bit more sleep thanks to some of the people that have written to us. And then I what I realized is you got to make it a priority. And I've always heard that but it's like whatever, you know, I'd get home and get my laptop out and work until 10 or 11 and put the laptop away and then try to go to sleep and then I wasn't sleeping. I mean as we all know and then going through with everything with my mom and so kind of since our we started really talking about it and plus I've been getting an average two to three hours of sleep. I've just really thought man, I have to make this, I gotta make it a priority. Yep. So about 8:30 I really start thinking about it and fun fact, I went out to dinner Friday night and I was the whole time going, I gotta get home. It's past. [00:03:10] Speaker B: You're stressing about it. [00:03:11] Speaker A: Yeah, I was because I thought man, I'm not gonna sleep tonight. So about 8:30 I start and I start, I've got a whole routine now drinking like magnesium and I'm doing oils and, and I'm now up to like six and a half hours of sleep last night. Yeah, I'm still, you know, your circadian rhythm is so huge. And I still wake up at four on the dot and I couldn't go back to sleep but I slept until 4 which is unheard of for me. So I do feel like it is. You got to make it a priority. You can't just, I think as we get older, I think it's exactly right. You could stay out till two and hit the bed and you're asleep. [00:03:49] Speaker B: But there's no, not at this age. No how these moms and dads go to like parents weekend at you know, OSU and ou. I'm like how are they surviving the whole weekend of college kids? [00:04:03] Speaker A: Like I would crazy hours die. [00:04:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I would absolutely die for a week. You might as well just send me to China and get jet lag and come back. So yeah, so kudos you parents that. [00:04:13] Speaker A: Can pull that off because I'm sure that is a busy weekend. Well, two nights ago I had ordered these lights from, you know, somebody I follow on Instagram and ended up being from China. So it's taken a month to get here. And then on Saturday they set out for delivery. Saturday. Well, I had them shipped here to my office, like we're not open on. [00:04:32] Speaker B: Saturday night right there. [00:04:33] Speaker A: So I tracked it all day Saturday. It kept saying that up till 10 o'clock that night it still said it. So started over on Sunday tracking. I thought they've taken it back and it's just not showing up on the thing. They've obviously got it at the warehouse somewhere and it was a weird delivery team I've never heard of. Sunday night I can't sleep. It's midnight. I happen to think, oh, I haven't tracked that in a while. I wonder if it's back at the warehouse. They delivered it at 10:05pm here at this building, which is a busy building at night and dark and no one's here. [00:05:05] Speaker B: Right. [00:05:05] Speaker A: But those aren't going to be there in the morning. So at 12:15 I'm driving here in my pajamas, promise to get my package out at the door. [00:05:12] Speaker B: Oh my God. [00:05:13] Speaker A: And so this in the parking lot, you know, is in the back, which is scary. There's all sorts of things happen in this parking lot overnight. So I drove through the drive through, wasn't there. So I can't, I thought, and I said out loud to myself, this is really stupid, but I'm going to the back of this building and sure enough I drive back here. There's my package sitting. That's insane at the door. Yeah, I sent them a really nice little email yesterday morning. But anyway, so then I didn't get back till 12:30. So needless to say, at 2:00 I was still rhythm my whole evening planning a rhythm going. It does help. I mean, I think I'm. I mean I'm definitely seeing a difference. I feel rested today, even though I still was. I'm feeling better. So I think, I think you have to make it a priority. [00:05:53] Speaker B: I think you're right. [00:05:54] Speaker A: As we get older and then here. [00:05:55] Speaker B: Our kids can sleep 12 hours. [00:05:57] Speaker A: Yeah, like it's nothing. I was thinking about that the other day how you could. I could sleep till 10 o'clock and then hit my alarm at 10. You know, when you're younger, not now. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Have you ever. Do you wear. Use those silk pillowcases like, like the actual real silk, not satin? Yeah, I like those. I'm having baskets by them also. And man, I like how it stays cold just Feels good. [00:06:19] Speaker A: Yeah. There's a whole science to sleep. [00:06:22] Speaker B: There is. There is. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Which is really kind of. [00:06:25] Speaker B: Next, I need to switch all my clothes to linen and have all these natural fiber. I'm like, there's a lot to save yourself. [00:06:31] Speaker A: I think it makes a difference. [00:06:32] Speaker B: It does. [00:06:33] Speaker A: Sadly, it does. [00:06:34] Speaker B: Try to just find that balance, because heaven knows I'm not going to be perfect. [00:06:37] Speaker A: I know. [00:06:38] Speaker B: In my ways, but we can balance it out. [00:06:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:06:40] Speaker B: A little Dr. Pepper here, a whole lot of water there, a little Botox there, a whole lot of natural oils over here. So you just. [00:06:48] Speaker A: I don't know. [00:06:49] Speaker B: We got to find our balance and what makes us happy. [00:06:51] Speaker A: So true. [00:06:51] Speaker B: And we were talking about water, you know, last. I would say, for a while, I had bought a whole bunch of bottled water, like, cases and cases from Sam's to make sure we always have some on hand. It was really just there for emergencies if we need it, as, you know, like, we distill our own water. That's our thing. We have for many, many years. Well, I've noticed I've had a whole lot. Like, my tissue has just been hurting. Like, just, like, if you just kind of touch my legs or touch my arm, I just felt tender. And, I mean, my aches and pains had been a whole lot worse than normal. Well, a couple other people in my family have talked about, man, I'm really sore. I just ache. And the only thing I could put my finger on was everyone's stealing those bottled waters like it is. I have been constantly replenishing, and they've gotten lazy about just going to the distilled tap and making their own cup or whatever. [00:07:41] Speaker A: Because you guys only drink distilled water typically. Okay. Yes. [00:07:45] Speaker B: And I was like, you know, that's got to be. There has to be something to this. Maybe because this was something we didn't always do. And I worry about the plastics, and they sit in the. I mean, the water can even sit in my car for a day before I get it out. I mean, the heat from those bottles and. And then I cleaned out our house ice maker. Very tempted to. And now I'm getting a new one coming in because I. I really replace them about once a year anyway, because once you look up in there, like, the nastiness that is in there. And so what's in the ice maker? Tubing at your house? In those. In the water. The refrigerator water dispensers, which I would never have. I would never, ever use that. Um, I just think about all the mold toxicity, because that's what you can see in those ice makers, I mean, it's gross. So anyways, I just wondered. So I've really kind of gotten away from the bottled water over the past week. And then I also started, you know, the. All of those oils came in from Get Blessed botanicals. But it. It took about four days and it was. Suddenly I woke up, literally woke up one morning, the morning this week, and the tenderness to my skin is like the inflammation had just gone away. Now my knee, my knee still hurts right now, so. But that's when I'm on it for too long. However, I just think there's something to getting off the bottled water and all those plastics. It has to be doing something really not great to our bodies. And so that just came to mind because I was like, I really have felt a difference in the tenderness of my skin over the last week and it has to be from the breakdown of inflammation. [00:09:14] Speaker A: Well, and I think I've tried to get back on drinking more water. I always drink water, but I probably don't drink enough. And I've been back on drinking more. And you know, we talked about. I think I talked about a couple of episodes ago where if you put salt, if you drink salt water at night before you go to bed, it'll actually. It binds to the. The salt binds to the water and actually sends that water to all the organs as opposed to your bladder, so you won't get up during the middle of the night. So I tested that and it totally is true because I've still. I didn't do it for two nights and I woke up two nights in a row to go and just doing. [00:09:45] Speaker B: A pinch of it. [00:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah, just a little. Just enough that it's salty, but it's not unbearable to drink. And I only do like I swallow, like just a swallow of it. Not a ton of it, but it works. It keeps you from waking up and having to go to the bathroom because after drinking so much water to your body kind of gets re. Acclimated to it. It really does make a difference. So I'm back on and I gotta. [00:10:06] Speaker B: Do that because I've got the little dish sitting there. Just. I need to be like you and get a routine. Like I'm not straying from my routine because I have a lot of things. [00:10:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:15] Speaker B: That I like to do. [00:10:17] Speaker A: So I've always been that way. Which I think is what you and I have in common, where we're always studying to find what works better for us. And I think I've been that way. Really diligently since chemo because it affected me so negatively. But then us doing this has even made me more attuned to what works and what doesn't work and studying and so putting a routine together to sleep is powerful and I think it does really work. It's made a difference for me for sure. It's made a difference. I mean I was averaging two and three hours, so I've doubled that. If I can add another hour, I mean that's pretty good compared to, well. [00:10:50] Speaker B: If my husband didn't get home at, you know, two, three, four o'clock in the morning, that makes it. The routines are hard. [00:10:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:57] Speaker B: In a household like that. [00:10:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:59] Speaker B: But so the oils that I got in, I take a picture of everything I've been taking and I do it twice a day and. And I've really backed off of any other vitamins or anything that I'm taking so I can supplement like with a, with a D3K2 little pill. But I'm taking obviously organic black seed oil. All this is organic, so I'll save out. I'll save the words. I'm taking turkey tail mushroom extract that will boost your immune system, reduce inflammation and a whole lot of more. I'm taking Irish CMOS which is wild crafted rock grown 92 out of your 102 minerals that your body. I'm taking liver cleanse, which is a heavy metal detox, a kidney cleanse and gallbladder cleanse. And all these do a whole lot more than what the few things I'm listing. I'm taking moringa extract which I was really excited to get. It's basically nature's multivitamin. I mean like those are. Right now I'm just taking a liquid vitamin and lemon balm which is a natural sleep aid. And the last thing is there's one called chill pill. I got a smaller bottle of that just to kind of use it on whoever might need it. I don't take it every night, but it is great for anxiety, stress and hyperactivity and so much more. So and all of that, they had a great sale the day I placed it. But all that came to like $334 without the sale. And that day I got it for 250. But I mean as of right now I. Instead of all the vitamins and everything else that I've been buying, I think I'll probably continue just to do that. And it isn't an mlm. It isn't. It's just a homegrown home based company and this is what they've done like they healed their own Lyme disease with it. After lots of struggles with the doctors again, that website is get blessed botanicals.com if anybody wants to go look at it. [00:12:34] Speaker A: I ordered some. You. After having dinner with you and you talking about it, I ordered the liver cleanse and I ordered. I'm pretty sure I have Hashimoto's is what it's coming down to with my blood work. I'll find out more today. And so I've been. I want to cure it naturally, obviously, instead of getting on a synthetic thyroid, which explains all of a lot of things about what's going on with me. But I got the liver cleanse and. And I got moringa, which is supposed to help us. [00:13:01] Speaker B: Vitamins and all that. [00:13:02] Speaker A: Yeah. And then I did the sleepy time, which I tried last night for the first time. Made it to four, so that's great. And then I did. What else did I do? The lemon. [00:13:12] Speaker B: Lemon balm. [00:13:13] Speaker A: Lemon balm like you did. And then one other one. I can't remember now, but the liver detox. So, you know, PTSD is so real in so many ways and obviously it is with cancer too. And so when I got that, because I went on a liver detox when I was going through chemo when I was so sick and nothing was working for nausea that they Dr. I went to or it wasn't a doctor, but like a naturopath put me on a liver detox. And it did help, but I ended up couldn't get any more from hands. A long story. But when I pulled out that liver detox and I smelt it, it smelled the same as that medicine that are that vitamin I was taking. I went into full PTSD yesterday. I literally had to pack them all back up and put them in the box. And I'm like, oh, no, I'm not gonna be able to do this because just the nausea that swept over me yesterday just smelling that. Wow. But then I know it's gonna really work. [00:14:03] Speaker B: Like a ruled tangy. Have you tasted them yet? [00:14:05] Speaker A: I did the sleepy time last night. [00:14:07] Speaker B: Yeah, they're all just kind of a real tanky sweet. They're not. None of them are bad. My kids can handle it. So, yeah. [00:14:12] Speaker A: What it says on the bottle, you know, mix it with orange juice for better flavor. So I was like, oh, I didn't even do that. [00:14:17] Speaker B: I'm like, I just take it. [00:14:18] Speaker A: It didn't bother me last night. But I was literally. PTSD is like. [00:14:23] Speaker B: Brings you back memories. [00:14:24] Speaker A: My oncologist lives in my neighborhood and he walks his dog all the time. And there are times I want to run over him when he's. You're not supposed to see your oncologist every time you turn around because it really does. Your body reacts to it. [00:14:38] Speaker B: It's like crazy. [00:14:39] Speaker A: Your heart palpitates and it's kind of crazy. [00:14:41] Speaker B: This, this company also sells soursop, which a lot of people maybe in the cancer world have heard how the soursop is supposed to be very healing when it comes to cancer. So just know this is a company you can get that from. They're very interesting and I love their Instagram. Really informative and all that. So. [00:15:00] Speaker A: Well, we. We're on it now. We got. Because I did it last night with the sleepy time and then I'm in. I just wasn't quite ready for the delivery detox yet. So I'm gonna do it today twice a day. [00:15:09] Speaker B: I know that is my routine. I am doing very good about that. You want a lesson for Chat gtp? [00:15:15] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Something new that I found out. So if you put a pit, you can take a picture of anything. Like in your house, outside your house. In this case, we want to do a little garden outside in a certain spot. We took a picture at like 5 o'clock in the evening. I sent it to chat GTP and I said, hey, design me a garden with a realistic picture. Those you want to use the words realistic picture using like we have a corrugated 4 by 8 corrugated planner we want to use. We also want to do some pots for potted gardening. And then we have at like a eight foot section of fence that I want to utilize that to also hang some gardening stuff off of. I basically gave it all those details and then I said, please give me a landscape design for gardening and with pots in this area with a realistic picture. That thing came back with the mo. You really couldn't even tell that it wasn't the back of my house. It was so realistic and it placed all the pots. It totally designed my landscape. [00:16:08] Speaker A: That's so crazy. Absolutely. [00:16:09] Speaker B: And I adjusted it a couple times and I said, scoot the planner over here to the left of the gutter so it regenerates a picture. Now I do play now for the 20amonth deal. But you could get like, I think you can get about three pictures a day out of the free thing. And it's amazing. And I keep hearing about now you. Okay, you know, you've heard of iridology and that's for people that don't know that, like you can go there's even a lady over in. I think it's the Pulpa. You can go over to her store over there and she will do free iridology on you and then she refers you to all the vitamins in her store that would help your deficiencies and. [00:16:42] Speaker A: Things based on the reading. Yes. [00:16:44] Speaker B: So a lady was talking the other day that you can send your. You just take a picture of your eye in a light in a bright room and send it to Chat gtp and it will completely do an ideology reading for you. Like one that would cost you hundreds of dollars and tells you things you're deficient in. Now, have I been brave enough to send a picture of my eye yet? No, haven't done that yet. I don't know. I don't know when I'll get brave enough to do that because I'm kind of weird about that stuff. But then I'm thinking, like, it hasn't seen my eyes. I mean, as if it hasn't been. [00:17:12] Speaker A: Looking at me this whole time, listening to you. Yeah. [00:17:15] Speaker B: So. Yeah. So anyways, just know those are two things with Chat GTP that are cool. [00:17:21] Speaker A: Crazy. [00:17:21] Speaker B: Something new to do. [00:17:22] Speaker A: Yeah. I feel like it's. It's changed too, over the time. It's been around because I've used it for a few years for business, but now I feel like it's so much heftier in what it can do than what it used to be able to do. [00:17:34] Speaker B: If there's anything you think it can't do, like, people are just wrong. Like, just ask it. Tell it you need help with something. Hey, I don't even know the last time I used Google. [00:17:41] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:17:42] Speaker B: So it's all through that app. So if anybody's wondering, it's just an app on your phone. Free version. I mean, it's amazing. It'll design flyers, logos, everything you need. It'll take care of it for you. [00:17:52] Speaker A: And I like that it asks you questions. Well, do you want this to be more humorous or do you want it. Yes. Yeah. [00:17:57] Speaker B: It is really customized. It learns your language too. So I was talking to it the other day. I was like. I actually said. I go, I go, so do you adjust your tone for the person you're talking to? And it said, oh, absolutely. I kind of follow along. And it gave me an example. And it started talking all like, slang and like, it just started talking the way you talk. [00:18:19] Speaker A: You talk. [00:18:20] Speaker B: Yeah, because it's always very polite to me and it says please and thank you. But that's. I still ask questions, like in a Polite way. I don't know. And it just gave an example and it was actually pretty funny. So, yes, it will adjust to the way somebody's lifestyle is because they're stalking you. [00:18:36] Speaker A: And yeah, that's crazy. [00:18:38] Speaker B: But we're getting stalked everywhere. So, like, whatever. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Well, anyway, eyes. With that whole studying your eyes, you know, I started the red light therapy for my eyes. [00:18:48] Speaker B: Yes. [00:18:48] Speaker A: And I'm telling you, it's working. [00:18:50] Speaker B: Really? [00:18:50] Speaker A: And it said that it smelled. I thought it said I need to go back and read what it said, but I thought it helped with farsightedness. So it helped my reading up close, but it's actually helping with my nearsighted. In fact, I've always kept my glasses in my car because that's where I need them is to drive. I don't really. Unless I go to a concert or big production where I'm looking at a screen far away, I'll wear them, but typically I only drive with them. I've driven twice without putting them on. And it's been not thinking about it, but it's one of those things. As soon as I start backing out of my garage, I reach over and put my glasses on because I can tell just in the garage I need my glasses. Twice I've been halfway to where I was going and realized I didn't have my glasses on, which my sunglasses are prescription. Everything in my car is prescription. [00:19:33] Speaker B: Three times have you done it, do you think? [00:19:34] Speaker A: Three times? You do it every five days, so I've only done it three times. [00:19:38] Speaker B: I'm going to come get them from you when you're. Day three. [00:19:42] Speaker A: Yeah, we should. I mean, why not? [00:19:44] Speaker B: And then I'll take my contacts out. [00:19:46] Speaker A: Because it's kind of amazing. I'm gonna tell you in the whole red light thing because of that, seeing that result, I've always been a believer in red light and I've always used a red light mask. But because of thinking I have Hashimoto's based on my thyroid numbers on my blood work, I started putting my red light mask for my face on my thyroid. [00:20:06] Speaker B: Thyroid? Yes. And they say to also do that with castor oil. You know that, right? [00:20:11] Speaker A: No. Oh, yeah. [00:20:12] Speaker B: Castor oil packs on your thyroid, like they have actual neck wrap so that you can make a castor oil pack for thyroid stuff. [00:20:19] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:19] Speaker B: So we need to look into that castor oil for thyroid. And you just make a pack. So you pour the oil on. It's like an all cotton pad, and then it has this little neck wrap and you wrap it around your Neck. And you can do the same thing. Make one for your kidney. Make one. And I actually need to do one for my knee to kind of help with my inflammation on my knee. [00:20:35] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:36] Speaker B: Um. And, yeah, I mean, you can do a lot with that castor oil. [00:20:40] Speaker A: Well, I do the red light, too, because I really believe in absolutely crazy red light therapy. [00:20:46] Speaker B: My. You know, my sister, they had a dog that had horrible hip pain, would have to go to the chiropractor and get. Well, it was a. It would throw its back out a lot. And they. And the vet had even recommended, like, one of those flashlight red lights to use on the dog. And it was so helpful to the dog's pain. So you can use it on your dogs, like on their joints, on their. I mean, Daisy would need a. A red light the size of a TV fit, insane body. But yeah. So you can use that on your dogs as well. [00:21:14] Speaker A: Yeah. It's so crazy. I really want a whole red light there. I do. [00:21:18] Speaker B: I do, too. [00:21:19] Speaker A: Ventured out to outside of our parameter to a restaurant. [00:21:23] Speaker B: Did you get a nosebleed? [00:21:24] Speaker A: I did. Got dizzy Brookside and went to Jinx. [00:21:30] Speaker B: Oh, wow. [00:21:31] Speaker A: City Hall Astron and Jinx with a friend on Saturday night. It was actually really good. It's a Elliot Nelson chain of restaurants. Really good. [00:21:39] Speaker B: Okay. [00:21:40] Speaker A: Very cute little place. You know, white linen tablecloths. And downtown Jinx. Pretty good. I had a ribeye wonder. [00:21:47] Speaker B: I need to wander out that way then. [00:21:49] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, I actually go out there often. I have a lot of friends that live in Jinx, and my book club girls are in Jinx, and so most of them. And so I go out there all the time. I actually. I'm. Okay. I'm not the midtowner person that can't leave for. Is it 41st? Is that the parameters? You can't go past 41st. My chiropractors. [00:22:05] Speaker B: I'm 46, so I will go to 46. [00:22:08] Speaker A: Okay. I actually venture further out, but it was actually really good. I definitely recommend it. She got a. What'd she get? Sea bass and said it was really good. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Okay. [00:22:18] Speaker A: And so anyway, new little restaurant to try, I think. I don't know how long they've been open. I think they've been there for a while. I think it's new. [00:22:24] Speaker B: Jinx is really, really cute. It is really, really cute. [00:22:28] Speaker A: Rocanero downtown is really cute. [00:22:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:31] Speaker A: Been to Bixby downtown in a long time, so I'm not really sure what's going on out there, but, gosh, I. [00:22:35] Speaker B: Had to show a house out in Bigsby this week and it was a 40 minute drive. You're just landlocked. I feel like over there you either got i75 or you got Memorial. [00:22:44] Speaker A: This one's not a fun one to talk about. We're going to talk about it anyway. I have found out I always wear organic deodorant. And I have noticed if I don't eat any kind of sugar, and I mean sugar from carbs, all the sugar, I don't have to use deodorant. [00:22:59] Speaker B: Isn't that crazy? [00:23:00] Speaker A: But as soon as I eat sugar, I need you. They say that though. [00:23:04] Speaker B: They say the cleaner you eat. [00:23:05] Speaker A: Yeah, it's true. [00:23:06] Speaker B: I mean you, you don't. Your body is not going to expel nasty nastiness. [00:23:11] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:23:12] Speaker B: So I mean it makes complete sense. [00:23:15] Speaker A: It's kind of crazy. It really is because I mean I really could go and some of it's the lack of needing deodorant, some of it's from chemo. I think chemo just fries everything. And so I haven't really needed it as much, but there's zero need for it unless I eat something bad. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Really interesting. [00:23:35] Speaker A: So I started reading about it because I thought, am I just being ridiculous? Is this just in my head? But I mean it's. You can find all sorts of articles on it that sugar will cause body odor. And I just find that so fascinating. Yep. To me. [00:23:49] Speaker B: Otherwise it's going to come out of you. [00:23:51] Speaker A: Well, I think so much happens at the cellular level of your body and if you try to get rid of, you know, fix the cellular level, which I think we've figured out with everything that we're doing, fixes everything, right? Yeah, it just makes a big difference. And taking vitamins that truly affect that level will affect everything else. [00:24:10] Speaker B: I'm excited to finish to do. You know, I think everything does require three months to really get a good of consistency, to really get a good feel of how it's going to work for you. So I'm so excited though to see how I, I mean I commit to committing to these oils. [00:24:24] Speaker A: Have you taken them before? [00:24:26] Speaker B: No. [00:24:26] Speaker A: Oh, you haven't? [00:24:27] Speaker B: Well, black seed, I've been taking black seed for a while now. However they say 5ml because they put a dropper in the thing. So that one's more than any of the other ones. I feel like the other ones are like maybe 2ml which is like 2 of the half droppers. But the black seed oil I wasn't taking near enough. I mean, I'm excited. I Think there would absolutely be a difference. Okay, so this is an off topic thing. This is totally random, but you know, I'm sure a lot of people have to use paper plates and paper bowls and stuff like that. I mean, especially if you're a family on the go, it's like whatever. So I discovered paper boats, the food trays you can get at Sam's. You can probably get them on Amazon too. And it says food serving, like little paper boats. And they'll hold liquid, they'll do whatever. I'm just telling you, if you are a paper plate or paper bowl, look at the three pound paper boats. Because like, especially if you're at the lake and the wind hits your plates, it doesn't blow your food off your plate. Because this boat is big enough to hold everything and kind of has sides to it. [00:25:23] Speaker A: Okay. [00:25:23] Speaker B: You can get like, like 500 of them for $22. Like it is so much cheaper than paper bowls. Paper plates, it's insane. So anyways, I, someone had mentioned I saw that one day and I. So I went and got them to have at home and at the lake and love them. Little money saving tip. Paper boats. Instead of paper plates. Instead of paper plates and bowls. [00:25:44] Speaker A: Oh, I have to say I had my dad over here Friday to do a podcast. My dad's a two time cancer survivor, had stage four cancer, then three years later stage three and he's 18 years cancer free. And so I had never had him on my cancer I have the poison bald and still standing podcast and I had never had him on it. And so he came over here Friday, which was my mom's birthday, and I kind of did that on purpose to kind of distract him and he came over here and did the podcast with me and just listen to him and talk about this is such a coincidence that I had never even thought about. His first surgery to remove part of his colon was June 29, and three years later he had it came back and he had surgery again to remove some more Colon on June 29th. My surgery to remove my uterus since I had uterine cancer was June 28th. Is that crazy? Never even put. I said, dad, did you, did you know that, that our surgeries were like. So he goes, yeah, I knew it. Like, oh, my dad. So matter of fact, he just doesn't. [00:26:40] Speaker B: You know, get, wow, he probably knows all the things you don't even realize. Oh yeah, he's got all the registering at all. And yeah, we just aren't as vocal as we are. [00:26:49] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:26:49] Speaker B: So did he have a Secret. Did he have some lifestyle change that really kept that away for 18 years. [00:26:54] Speaker A: He changed his eating habits, obviously. He probably was. You know, he was born in West Texas, so they ate lots of Spam and, and so after that and a sausage, sausages, all this stuff. And so he stopped. That was the one thing the doctor said. And to really stop eating a lot of beef. And so he's, you know, he's. But then you see people that only eat beef and they're healthy as an ox. So I just think, you know, some of it's your body hereditary and. But kind beef you're eating. [00:27:21] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:27:22] Speaker A: And he was not eating the right kind, the, you know, the clean, organic. So he's changed that. He eats a lot of fish, tons of fish and some chicken, but he really lives off a lot of fish. And he eats beef but not. He really eats clean. I make sure it's the right kind of beef for him, but I'm not really anything else. I mean he's, he's so matter of fact about all of it and he just, you know, he kind of rolls with the punches. But the fact that he's 18 years, I'm just like, that's impressive. Give me that, please. Especially with stage four and stage two. [00:27:50] Speaker B: That's insane. [00:27:51] Speaker A: Yeah. And so close together. [00:27:53] Speaker B: But anyway, regular radiation and chemo. [00:27:55] Speaker A: He didn't do radiation. He did only chemo. But he did it, you know, two round two, 16 rounds twice, three years apart and doing really well. So anyway, it was fun to have him over here. It was. Well, we're almost out of time. Did you have something else? [00:28:09] Speaker B: I don't think so. [00:28:10] Speaker A: I haven't thought to leave us on. Somebody sent this to me and I was like, oh, it's such a great idea. I'm going to try it. If you like, in your notes, on your phone, your notes, Apple up to every day, write down things always good happen to me. And write down something that happens to you. That's good. Okay. They said you'll be surprised at how much good happens that you don't think about. [00:28:30] Speaker B: Think about. [00:28:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I feel like I need to write down good things. [00:28:34] Speaker B: That's very true. [00:28:34] Speaker A: So that's a good way to leave it. [00:28:37] Speaker B: Well, I guess Happy Mother's Day to everybody. Coming up. It's going to be a rough day, Lisa. [00:28:42] Speaker A: Yes, it is. [00:28:43] Speaker B: Funny. We were talking and I'm like, I think, I think maybe I've reach a new milestone where I don't get that frog in my throat every time. And there is a day and it does come. And I know you're really in the. [00:28:55] Speaker A: Depths of it right now, so. [00:28:57] Speaker B: And by the way, Lisa brought. Bought us matching butterfly chains. And it's so special. She surprised me with it today. And it has my mother's initials on it. That's gonna make me cry. So we see lots of butterflies and cardinals. [00:29:11] Speaker A: You know what's so funny is, like, you don't realize until you don't have your mother here how much Mother's Day is just pushed so hard on people. Every time I turn around, it's another Mother's Day ad or. What are you buying your mom for Mother's Day? It's like, oh, my gosh, it's so much. It makes you want to stay off your phone because it's. You forget how much they push it. It's definitely a holiday where you make money. And so it's like, whoa. I mean, we've had Easter, then we've had our birthday, and now we're having Mother's Day. [00:29:38] Speaker B: It's like, well, this Mother's Day, I'll share it with Ty's birthday, so it probably too much about Mother's Day. And then the next day is our anniversary. We've always had these three days of, like, it' Ty's birthday, Mother's Day, our anniversary, all three days together. So, you know, I mean, Stephen and I have not ever taken that vacation yet for an anniversary because how could we do that and leave Ty on his birthday? And so it is what it is. [00:30:01] Speaker A: Someday it's coming up when they're on their own, and I'm fine with it. [00:30:05] Speaker B: I don't like leaving my kids, so. [00:30:07] Speaker A: Well, happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there and all the. [00:30:10] Speaker B: Happy graduation, everybody graduating. [00:30:12] Speaker A: All right, well, we'll. [00:30:13] Speaker B: We appreciate you guys. [00:30:14] Speaker A: Talk to you later. All right, bye.
