Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if healing wasn’t just about treating disease—but transforming your entire internal environment?
In this third episode of Ultra Life Today with Dr. Lindsay Adrian, we move beyond theory and into real-world results. You’ll hear powerful patient stories — including early-stage cancer cases — where individuals didn’t just recover… they felt better than they had in years.
Dr. Adrian breaks down how simple shifts in nutrition, movement, mindset, and environment can dramatically change outcomes — even during serious diagnoses.
This is not about band-aids. This is about rebuilding the body from the inside out.
👉 If you or someone you love is navigating a diagnosis, this episode will give you hope—and a roadmap.

0:00:00 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): I have examples of that all through stage three, stage four, chemotherapy, radiotherapy. My favorite thing, and I am so fortunate that I get to hear it on a very regular basis, is when my patients say, I have never felt this good in my life. And it's consistently when people are at a point in their life that everyone expects them to feel crappy and they feel better than they did before they had their treatment or they before they had their diagnosis.
0:00:28 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And it's because we're not putting band aids on. We're foundationally changing the environment of the body and then allowing that body to move toward health because our bodies are amazing. They are constantly trying to move us toward health and I just have to remove the obstacles to cure.
0:00:55 - (Josh Bellieu): Foreign. Welcome Back to episode three of Ultra Life Today with Dr. Lindsay Adrian, naturopathic oncologist extraordinaire. I know because I've seen her speak, I've been around her, I've hung out with her outside the lecture hall as she talks about. She's really fascinating. I'm not sure how she does everything. She does have a feeling. It's probably that follow your passion, mind body connection. And also she has, has walked the path herself of maintaining optimal health.
0:01:30 - (Josh Bellieu): For years and years and years we covered philosophy behind naturopathic medicine. In episode one, we moved into what's this intake look like? What tests might she order? Which by the way, how cool was that? 4 kind of basic tests that your own insurance would pay for. And yet she's going to tell us a little bit about, oh my gosh, what she discovered. But this is the episode you've been waiting for because she's going to give us some real world examples of taking individuals just like you and they came and they were in this kind of shape.
0:02:05 - (Josh Bellieu): And through her input in their life, through her helping them reconnect with passion and with joy and diagnosing from a perspective. I mean, who would have thought vitamin D and systemic inflammation could potentially help her know exactly what to dial in on to help you on your journey. Dr. Lindsay Adrian, thank you so much for being back with us again. I want to know what kind of results are really possible when someone transitions from the.
0:02:34 - (Josh Bellieu): Well, I'm not going to call it that way. I'm just going to call it conventional medicine. I'm going to be really kind. They come out of that paradigm where it is, take this, take that surgery time and maybe they've never heard about diet or lifestyle changes or exercise. So anyway, give us some details so that our people go, my gosh, I am so charged to go see someone like a Lindsay Adrian because they address a component of health and a healing journey that I was unaware even existed. So thank you again for being here.
0:03:09 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): I am so happy to be here and it's, it's really lovely to get to chat about all these different areas that I, I am, I'm so passionate about. So thank you for giving me that opportunity. You know, what I want to do is walk you through a couple different scenari that I get to see on a regular basis.
0:03:25 - (Josh Bellieu): Yeah, on a regular basis. I like that.
0:03:28 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Yeah, it's like.
0:03:28 - (Josh Bellieu): It's not a one off, Josh. No, we do this a lot. This is a day at the office for us. Right?
0:03:34 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): It really is. And so, so I'm going to walk you through. Let's call her Ann. And so Ann is one of the many women who I've worked with in the last, you know, 15 years that are was just given a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer. It was, you know, a little bit fast and furious. She had had a screening mammogram. They found a lump. They, you know, went and did an ultrasound and a biopsy and confirmed that it was a ERPR positive. Her 2 neu negative, which is kind of the standard cellular biology of a, of a breast cancer, but still really early, about 1cm in size.
0:04:23 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so the typical interventions conventional world gives for that are surgery. And they can either do a lumpectomy where they just remove that one little lump, or they can do a mastectomy where they remove the whole breast. Generally what's suggested for that woman is the lumpectomy and then radiation. Now em comes into me. She's just been given her diagnosis. She's just starting to have some of these conversations and she's incredibly overwhelmed and she's incredibly fearful and she is in her late kids are grown and gone, lives with her husband and, and she has a community of support, but she's been disconnected from them.
0:05:10 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): So that's Ann. And then Anne and I get together and we start chatting. Now my first goal is to help Anne come out of that place of fear and come back into her body and come back into her power. And for Anne, that really meant information. Anne needed a quarterback. And so I was Anne's quarterback. I was the person who was able to take in all these pieces and explain them to her so that she understood what was she being suggested and why was she being suggested it and what could she expect both from a conventional side and what does she have power over?
0:05:53 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so really we spent probably half of our first conversation just walking through the why and the, you know, what are the implications of estrogen receptor positive or HER2 negative? And what does it mean that this lump is a centimeter in size? What does it mean that. That you're going to be offered radiation or what have you. And really, it's about giving the information about that so that no matter what choice Ann made about whether she was going to go through with that radiation or that surgery or what have you, she was really making those decisions from a place of knowledge as opposed to a place of fear.
0:06:36 - (Josh Bellieu): Yeah, you're taking the mystery out of it. I love that.
0:06:39 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Very, very much so. And so again, what is so important about that is that when somebody. And when they're choosing something, no matter what that thing is, it's not something that's being done to you, it's something that you are a part of. You are doing it in conjunction with. And one of the things that I talk about a lot in my practice, because I really do have an integrative practice, is that there is no good or bad tool.
0:07:11 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): It's just a tool. Every tool has a job, and every tool can be used to your benefit if it's the correct tool at the correct time for the correct person. So there is no judgment about, well, you know, this tool is bad or this tool is always good, that doesn't exist, and every person's a little bit different. So for this particular patient, for Ann, surgery was the right tool. She really wanted to avoid radiotherapy, radiation, and thankfully, in the scenario that I've just given you with that early stage breast cancer, they pretty much.
0:07:50 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): They very, very rarely suggest chemotherapy unless there are really aggressive features and unless the surgery shows that there's actually more disease than we realize. So thankfully for Ann, that wasn't part of the conversation because that was really scary for her. But also part of that first conversation was reassuring her that that actually probably was not going to be part of her journey and probably wasn't even going to be suggested for her because she had a very big fear that that would be what was suggested for her. Like I said, whole first visit there, understanding, you know, where are you at now?
0:08:28 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): What are the different options in that conventional world, and what do each of those things mean? And then bringing it back into O. So that's. That's the conventional world. Now let's talk about what you have control over and what you have power over. And that brought us back into conversations about diet, movement and exercise and her sort of Psycho, emotional, spiritual world. So Anne, like many people, was not, you know, she didn't eat a lot of junk food and she certainly didn't have a highly processed diet in general.
0:09:05 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): But she liked her sweets. You know, food was a pleasure and something that she really enjoyed, but she didn't really think very often about the nutritional content of that food. And it's, she didn't have an aversion to, to eating healthy. She just didn't really know what that meant. And so then we talked a lot about food as medicine. And so again, in the context of an early breast cancer, there are certain types of food that are really powerful medicine.
0:09:34 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so we talked about how choosing to have that serving of broccoli family, so that brassica, because it's really high in the sulforaphanes, which are the, the sulfur molecules in there, is really helpful for helping your body to eliminate excess estrogens. And so choosing to have that serving of those vegetables every day was like taking a pill. That was medicine. Choosing to have ground flax in her diet every day was medicine. Flax has had a lot of back and forth in breast cancer and estrogen positivity.
0:10:10 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Flax is a phytoestroge and that scared a lot of people for a long time. But what's really cool is that when you understand the physiology, you've got this estrogen receptor and your estrogens, the endogenous estrogens, they go in and they occupy that receptor and then they activate that receptor. Plant estrogens like flax, they go in and they kind of hang out in that receptor, but they don't activate it very strongly, they just have like a little activation.
0:10:40 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so we know that those plant based estrogens from flax actually prevent the over activation of those estrogen receptors.
0:10:48 - (Josh Bellieu): Very cool.
0:10:50 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): From both your endogenous estrogens, but even more importantly from the exogenous xenoestrogens, which are the chemicals that mimic estrogen that are found in plastics and pesticides and herbicides and all these different chemicals in our environment.
0:11:06 - (Josh Bellieu): Right.
0:11:07 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): So that in that way that ground flax is medicine, that broccoli is medicine. You know, eating a lot of fiber supports the microbiome which supports your immune system. And so just helping her to understand how these food choices impact her body so that when she was sitting down to eat, she could still enjoy food and food was still a pleasurable thing and she knew that that food was going to nourish her body and help her heal and help her walk, walk through this cancer Journey in a. In a more healthful way.
0:11:42 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so it was about shifting the way that she thought about eating. Not saying, you can only eat this way, but I want you to think about food in this way.
0:11:52 - (Josh Bellieu): Okay. Before we continue with Ann's journey, I want to. So the choice was a lumpectomy. That was. Right. I love that you brought that up, because so many people, because of the lack of education and all of the stories that are out there, you know, you happen to know us, and with what we do with people through doctors like yourself, is we're always saying, introduce someone like Lindsay Adrian into the mix so that you can have this teacher that's educating you about simple things like, you know, eating broccoli for someone that is a very early stage breast cancer.
0:12:30 - (Josh Bellieu): But I bet you also know, and that's where I want to go for a second before we continue in Ann's journey, is I bet you also know there could be some potential negativity with a lumpectomy, but I bet you know some tricks that can help an individual minimize because they may go, yeah, but I've heard if I do this, and then maybe if I do a biopsy, then the cancer is going to spread. But in your mind, Lindsay, Adrienne, you know some things that are going to minimize the potential going off the rails of a conventional treatment. So I want to address that for a second before we continue in Anne's journey. And maybe some of it was as simple as you saying broccoli would be really good right now. The Brassica family. So anyway, give us a little insight into that portion of how you might minimize what might be considered a harmful side effect from a conventional treatment.
0:13:25 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Love it. And we're on the same page, Josh, because I was getting to that.
0:13:30 - (Josh Bellieu): But brilliant.
0:13:31 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): The big part of.
0:13:32 - (Josh Bellieu): You're just gonna make me look good, aren't you? Okay.
0:13:34 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Thank you. You're just so smart. So with Ann, what we talked about again, in that whole diet and exercise portion is this concept of pre habilitation.
0:13:44 - (Josh Bellieu): Ooh, I love that word.
0:13:46 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Right. So it's prepping the body for an intervention like surgery, before the surgery happens, which is the precursor to rehabilitation. Right. And so we've got great research and great data to show that if we prehabilitate people before surgery, their outcomes are better, which means the surgery is more successful, their recovery is faster, they have fewer of the pain medications required, they're out of hospital quicker, fewer secondary infections, all of those very, very important things.
0:14:17 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And part of pre habilitation is high protein diet. So that was a big part for Anne. Ann was not a protein eater. She tended to be the bread, and she loved her veggies. It was not hard to convince her to have that broccoli family every day. But she wouldn't necessarily put the effort in to have, you know, whether it was the plant based proteins or whether it was animal based protein. It was just sort of a secondary thing for her. And it took more work.
0:14:48 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Um, it's easier to throw a salad together than it is to prep that chicken breast or prep that piece of fish. Um, and so really kind of reinforcing to her that there is data that prior to surgery, we want to have a whole lot of protein, but in particular arginine and arginine. You can get quite a bit of arginine from nuts and seeds, which was a strategy that she used. Some people, I will have them supplement arginine, but you also get arginine from animal based proteins as well. And so really, for her, in that pre habilitation, I aim for 1.5
0:15:23 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): grams per kg, grams of protein per kg of body weight. And. And then that helps to manage side effects of surgery, just in terms of pain management, wound healing, and infections. And then the cancer part. So the part that everyone is very concerned about with cutting into anything that has cancer, whether it's a biopsy or whether it's removal of the tumor itself. Yes. There is always the possibility, unfortunately, that you will take a contained tumor and open it. And so there are a couple different strategies for managing the potential release of circulating tumor cells.
0:16:03 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Now, I always come back to the immune system is your absolute best defense against liberated cancer cells, because your immune system can identify cancer cells as bad and go and contain and kill them,
0:16:20 - (Josh Bellieu): and is dealing with that even on a daily basis that people don't know about, Right?
0:16:25 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Exactly. Okay, so when we are eating a diet filled with antioxidant rich foods, you are supporting immune cell activity. When we are moving our body and exercising, and this is the exercise part of that pre habilitation, you are not only allowing your lymphatics to move and therefore the actual army of the immune system to physically move through your body more effectively, but there is a release of all these beautiful chemokines and cytokines that are the messengers of our healthy cells, our immune cells, and even the unhealthy cells that help to sort of tag something as something we want to get rid of.
0:17:14 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): The chemical soup of both a tumor cell and then the environment that we can create when we do Exercise and we are moving our muscles and those muscles are actually producing its own kind of chemical soup. All of those things come together to make it much, much easier for your body to kill any circulating tumor cells that have gotten away, to kill off any infections that may have been introduced in the course of surgery, and to deliver the nutrients and the fibroblasts, the building block cells that allow your body to re knit back together in a healthy way.
0:17:53 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): All, all of those things can be delivered to the areas that they're needed. And so in that way, making those dietary changes, making those movement and exercise changes prior to surgery has a massive impact on everything regarding that surgery.
0:18:11 - (Josh Bellieu): Yeah, that is so good to hear. And I had never heard anyone say pre habilitation before. I'm going to borrow that. I hope you don't mind.
0:18:21 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): I didn't invent it. You can. Absolutely.
0:18:25 - (Josh Bellieu): So what role, and I'm curious about Ann, what role? Because the more I learn about natural sunlight exposure and vitamin D, both supplemental and in nature, the more I realize we have no clue what's really going on at a cellular level. And I think trillions of signals, probably on a moment to moment basis within our body. I'm curious about Ann or maybe someone else for a moment. I'm assuming you checked where Ann was on vitamin D and how important is vitamin D levels as a prehabilitation role for surgery and the potential great outcome you're looking for.
0:19:07 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Yeah, I mean, vitamin D is core for everything. So whether it's surgery or chemo or, or just general wellness. Yes, of course I checked vitamin D and I want to optimize vitamin D because again, from an immune perspective, your immune system can't mount a response if it doesn't have enough vitamin D. That's why low vitamin D is associated with more death from everything.
0:19:29 - (Josh Bellieu): Yep.
0:19:30 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And so that gets critical to assess and replete vitamin D. And I love what you said about the role of being outside in the sun and all of these different cellular activities because vitamin D is a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of what we get from the sun. And you know, one of my passions is light medicine. Photobiomodulation, which is the fancy word for using light as medicine. Yes, we are, you know, again, I always come back, we are diurnal mammals.
0:20:04 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Right. We are, we are just mammals that need to be in the light. We need to actually sleep in the dark. We need to be awake when it's light. We need to be in sunlight. These are, these are fundamental requirements of our physiology. And when we Forget that we are just diurnal mammals, and we think we're smarter than that biology. We are going to have problems. You cannot exist inside, away from natural light. We can't be night owls where we only are awake at night and then we sleep during the day. That's not how our biology works.
0:20:41 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): We are not smarter than our biology.
0:20:44 - (Josh Bellieu): I gotta ask you for a second, because a dear friend of mine has really taken a deep, deep dive into light photobiomodulation, as you call it. And I never realized until he said, I just grabbed this app. So I'm curious if you have a favorite app, but I've been using an app called Circadian, and I never realized how profoundly important it is for literally setting my body's entire clock by actually being outside when the sun's coming up and spending about five minutes just looking in the direction of the east where the sun comes up and exposing my natural eyes to that, and then doing it again midday and then doing it again in the evening. And people would go, but wait a minute, you're not really getting any sun. Okay, yeah, you got some at midday. I never realized that this whole pineal gland thing was so massive in just literally shaping the way our body even processes fats and carbohydrates and proteins and hormonal system and everything.
0:21:48 - (Josh Bellieu): So I'm curious, do you have a favorite app and how'd you get in that world? And do you actually try as well to limit blue screens? Sleep at a certain time, stop eating at a certain time, expose your yourself to natural light a few times a day at just the right time? Do you do that?
0:22:05 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): So it's so funny, Josh, because you
0:22:08 - (Josh Bellieu): travel so much, I bet it's hard. Go ahead.
0:22:12 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): So I. I gave you the disclaimer that I'm a bit of a technology Luddite, right? I am very analog. I am not super digital. And. And that's just.
0:22:22 - (Josh Bellieu): Just.
0:22:22 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): It's just me. So I'm sure there are some beautiful apps out there. I don't know how to use any of them.
0:22:27 - (Josh Bellieu): Okay. All right. But. But some of the principles I learned is that something you incorporate and even recommend to your patients?
0:22:34 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): I very much recommend early morning light. Absolutely.
0:22:38 - (Josh Bellieu): Nice.
0:22:39 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Do I think you have to go so far as to get outside and face east? I don't actually.
0:22:45 - (Josh Bellieu): Okay, now, I think that's a roster with Lindsay. Adrian. You heard it here first. Go ahead.
0:22:50 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Now, again, I. You know, this is just my. The way that I've looked at it, and I am always open to being taught More. I am always open to learning more. But I also think that the value of that early morning light is not just, you know, staring to the east where we, where the sun is coming up. It's the light, whether it's direct or indirect, hitting the back of our retina. And then that's what communicates to that pineal gland. And not just the pineal gland, but the pituitary and all of these other structures in our brain.
0:23:27 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And we've got really good data that if you can have that full spectrum, because that's what the sun is, it's just full spectrum light. Hit the back of your retina in the morning, it's easier to get up, your hormones are more regulated, your mood is better. There's all sorts of information about blue wavelengths versus green and yellow and red and what have you. And, and whenever I read this stuff, Josh, the way that I look at it, and I'm really excited about this, we know this much, we know this much, which means there is an infinite that we don't know at all.
0:24:09 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And I choose to be quite excited about that because it means that the possibilities are limitless. And it also means that at this point there are no musts or always. At this point we can explore and be curious and we can experiment. And so I encourage my patients to experiment with pulling blinds open and pulling the curtains apart and allowing that natural light to enter their bedroom in the morning.
0:24:42 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And I prefer for that to happen prior to 8am Now, I'm not going to require them to be up at 5am when the sun comes up in the summer or what have you, but I do want them to purposefully let that full spectrum light in in the morning. And then I always encourage them to be outside at some point in the day, even if that just means opening the back door of their house and standing outside for a couple of minutes, because I have to meet people where they're at, right? Sometimes people can't go hiking, but I would love them to be.
0:25:13 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And then in the evening, by the time the sun is going down, I do want them to be putting away all their devices. We are not smarter than our photoreceptors. And if our device is shining that blue light in particular on our retina, our brain gets confused about what time of day it is. And so I am particular about putting that away. But I don't want them to just put blue light blocking glasses on, I want them to put it away.
0:25:42 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Blue light blocking glasses are still us trying to bioengineer our way out of being diurnal mammals, we are not smarter. There are photoreceptors in our skin. There are photoreceptors all over. So putting your red glasses over your eyes does not negate the impact on the rest of your body. Now, am I going to tell people they can't have any screens after 6pm no, that's not realistic to where we live.
0:26:10 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): But do I want them to have no screens after 10:00pm? Heck, yeah. None. Read a book.
0:26:18 - (Josh Bellieu): Yeah, we'll get on that subject next time you come back. Just reading and what that does to help an individual with their. With their nighttime repair. So with just a couple of minutes left here, let's move toward the end of this health outcome with Ann. And then if you have any final thoughts about our viewers that I think you've welcomed into this world, that sadly, as we know, is called alternative and it should be called mainstream. I mean, come on. It should be called mainstream. You've got this. I'm integrative because I'm willing to embrace both conventional. I love that you're a bridge for people that are coming out of that conventional world. But couple of three minutes left.
0:26:57 - (Josh Bellieu): Let's move through Ann's journey, which I know is going to have a really neat outcome. And I think you've also really helped take away a lot of people's fears about am I making the right decision? Do I go conventional? That's why you need somebody like Lindsay Adrian or an integrative or functional, our naturopathic oncologist on your team. If you're dealing with this because they have a brave new world to introduce you to, that's actually going to add hope, infuse you with joy, help you connect with your passion, and know that you can have a great outcome. So, okay, here we are back with Anne again.
0:27:31 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): So Ann embraced fully everything that we talked about. She was so ready. She just was very purposeful in incorporating those healthy, you know, broccoli family and the flax and purposefully adding protein to each of her meals so that she could really easily get to those protein goals. She started exercising. She began with just going for walks and ended up doing gym exercises, which was something she had never considered.
0:28:00 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And that definitely took, you know, six months of building stamina and motivation with the walks before she was ready and felt sort of motivated to get into a gym. But she did get into a gym in that process. She had her lumpectomy. She chose not to do radiation. And that was a combination of things with her and the various medical providers. That she worked with and that was what was right for her.
0:28:27 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And then she really dug into creating a really good social support network and working through some of the traumas that had kept her isolated and re establishing connection and truly actually finding some joy. So Ann comes out the other side of it, obviously very easily and quickly healed from her treatments, had absolutely no evidence of disease moving forward. And most importantly to me, Ann, you know, less than three months later, said she's never felt as healthy in her entire life as she had. And she was in the midst of her cancer treatment.
0:29:06 - (Josh Bellieu): Wow.
0:29:08 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): Ann is my early cancer example, but I have examples of that all through stage three, stage four chemotherapy, radiotherapy. My favorite thing, and I am so fortunate that I get to hear it on a very regular basis, is when my patients say, I have never felt this good in my life. And it's consistently when people are at a point in their life that everyone expects them to feel crappy and they feel better than they did before they had their treatment or they before they had their diagnosis.
0:29:38 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And it's because we're not putting band aids on. We're foundationally changing the environment of the body and then allowing that body to move toward health. Because our bodies are amazing. They are constantly trying to move us toward health. And I just have to remove the obstacles to cure. And sometimes that obstacle to cure is a, is an emotional state. Sometimes that obstacle to cure is nutritional deficiencies that are just missing because somebody doesn't realize the impact of eating that protein or eating those vegetables. Sometimes the obstacle to cure is stagnation.
0:30:16 - (Dr. Lindsay Adrian): And if I can just get them moving and their blood and their lymphatics and their muscles moving, then again, all of those natural healing, chemokines, cytokines, you know, hormones, all of the beautiful soup that our body contains can do its job and that person can heal.
0:30:35 - (Josh Bellieu): You know, Lindsay, I think it was unexpected for me today because as brilliant and as smart as you are and you're. You're deep understanding of the body and biochemistry and things, I thought to myself, okay, this may go this way. But I felt in my heart I was supposed to take it this way. I think what you've done today, I've got this. I want a T shirt that says, Lindsay actually says it's pretty simple.
0:31:01 - (Josh Bellieu): You literally just gave really simple, gentle things today. It's not rocket science, what you talked about. Out get moving. See if there's things contributing to elevated inflammation in your body. See if there's things that are contributing to elevated glucose or A1C learn how to breathe. Learn how to find your happy place, as I call it, and connect with your passion again and step back, take a breath. You really have demystified so much in helping an individual recognize that someone that comes into your world.
0:31:37 - (Josh Bellieu): It can be pretty basic and pretty simple. Now I know it can be it very different as an individual that may show up with a stage four, but I just want to thank you for doing that today. I kind of felt like I've got a new way of sharing with individuals that I meet. It's like it doesn't really have to be hard. It can be simple and there's just some simple things you can start that you're going to notice changes very quickly.
