Hydration being the Foundation of Good Health | Full episode

SPEAKER_00 0:05

Welcome back to the Solex Podcast, the show where we talk AO scan, frequencies, woo-woo, and all the weird wellness stuff in between. If you're not always sure where the science ends and the woo-woo begins, this is the place you want to be.

SPEAKER_01 0:22

You know, today's topic, Jake, is very interesting to me. Uh, not that the the information in and of itself uh is going to be fascinating to many degrees, I think. The general topic might be uh as soon as I say it, people are gonna go, like, wait, wait, what? I already know everything about this. But what we will dive into will make great connections to the AO scanner. And it's not everything actually has an influence that you take uh physically will have a direct influence on how your learning and education about your frequency state uh can be displayed and can be reacted to. And today I think we're going to dive into many aspects of a topic that actually have strong influence on how that you can learn through the scanner to improve how your body is functioning, your health and well-being. Again, of course, the AF scan technology is a learning tool. And one of the things it's going to learn, the best thing it can do is if it can give us proper information about the state of our body, one of the things we can do is actually provide the state in which frequencies can be best um informed as to And to use a scanner turn optimized. And to optimize, yeah, yeah, in that process of informing our bodies and then optimizing our bodies where we want it to be, right? And so we we we take the the the grand topic, right? Of H2O. We're talking about water, right? And and and like I said, most people are gonna hear that and they're gonna be like, oh, great, Kai, uh, water, everybody knows about water. This is the most boring topic. But actually, what we're gonna find is uh it's not boring at all.

SPEAKER_04 2:08

No.

SPEAKER_01 2:09

In fact, we're gonna find that there is some incredible, unusual power in water on many different levels. Of course, you know, uh the the majority of the earth's surface is made up of water, right? Yeah. And the majority of your body is made up of water.

SPEAKER_03 2:26

More so than I had originally thought. Right? What that number, the 60, 70 percent that you learn in school. Yep. Well, maybe that's not quite all that it seems to be. Yeah, it isn't.

SPEAKER_01 2:38

Yeah, when we we even jump into that, let's get this, throw this out and make sure we're all on the same page, right? Yeah, if we said that 60 to 70 percent of the body is made up of water, uh, I've also heard the number of like 98, 99. Yeah, right. Well, those both those numbers can be accurate. And how are they accurate, Kai? Well, by volume, 60 to 70 percent is accurate. By molecular count, 98, 99% is accurate. So both can be accurate and they are accurate. Uh, it's it's fascinating because that also tells us how small the H2O structure is. And we're gonna talk about some other structures around H2O. But uh, but you've you've done some research. You've been spending the last several weeks going through some studies and some books and and some masters around the subject of water. I've been diving into some clinical work and studies that have been done around that as well. And I think we both have found some fascinating things that are worth sharing, especially to this audience who is so attuned uh to seeking out their health and well-being. Everybody wants good health. I don't think you can ask anybody off the street and say, Hey, do you want to feel good? Yeah, everybody wants to feel good. But uh this particular uh crowd is very interested in doing something about it, in learning and taking some action. And thus the AOS can technology fits squarely within that as providing a massive amount of information. And actually, water can influence and help in that process of healing and getting improvement performance within the body.

SPEAKER_03 4:19

Yeah, I I wanted, I asked Lauren uh the other day, and I was secretly filming him on my phone. Oh, just having my phone at my chest. Not disclosed, we won't tell him that. Yeah, he he probably won't watch this, will he? Um and I just asked him, how is hydration important to the scanner? And I think I I tried to phrase the question is how can it optimize your experience with the scanner? Oh, good. Seeing your uh looking at your frequencies and then giving you education on how you can improve those frequencies and that frequency state. And I think we'll get into that a little later when we talk about uh water intake. Yep. Uh, but it was fascinating. And he said that you will get the best and most consistent scans you've ever had by just being properly hydrated before scanning and optimizing. And I love that. And I and I hope that we can get more into that.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

And I think that with that, uh I'd add consistently properly hydrated, right? The the the ups and downs of our hydration, we don't necessarily want, we want to try and maintain consistency, and that in and of itself can actually do wonders within how you feel. Even areas of the body that you don't even think would have an impact because of water, it actually does, yeah, right. Um, you had a stat around dehydration.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

Would you believe that just a 2% decrease in hydration levels? And in this instance, this is the reduction of intake of water per day. So not like dehydration of tissues or a cellular level, but the intake of what you know someone at your body weight, your activity levels should be receiving per day, just a two percent decrease in that um can impact your blood vessels the same way smoking a cigarette does. Wow. And and it's just not that that was fascinating. It is also a 2% decrease in hydration levels also leads to measurable cognitive loss. And so we when we when we talk about cognitive loss, um, that was thrown around everywhere. And to someone like me, okay, what does that mean? What does measurable cognitive loss mean? And uh just briefly, uh, your sensory sensory capacity capacities begin to diminish. Uh life is a little less colorful, it affects immediate um memory skills. So think of uh the last time you met someone new and they told you their name, and then you forgot about it 10 seconds later. Yes. It's happened too. Maybe that's just a typical reaction, or maybe you got to think, oh, was I properly hydrated? I don't know, right?

SPEAKER_01 7:03

That's yeah, you know, I've heard it's interesting along those lines. I I once heard a saying, and this isn't uh in any of these studies, but like uh when we take uh sometimes when we take a nutrient, right? We'll take a supplement or or even a food that's good for us, um, that if we have to take it, consume it with water, that that water will actually do more good for us and for than what we're taking the supplement for. I mean, it's it the the water will have a greater impact on our well-being. I think it's probably obvious if you're in a more acute situation of inconsistent hydration, you're gonna run into more problems. And you can have a greater experience when you are properly hydrated, right? In addition to just running to the bathroom more often. I mean, you have that experience in the beginning. Yes. I think most of us have have gone through that process, but that's that's fascinating. I think of the smoking side of things, and I and it does make sense because we'll get into like a topic of how um uh a certain uh byproduct of dehydration actually creates a reactive oxygen species, which is going it's an oxidization within your body, which is gonna cause more havoc and more problems, more disease. It's associated with all those things. That makes total sense to me when I connect it to that's that resource that's that's there.

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Yeah, it's it's it's it's truly mind-boggling all that hydration affects, whether you're dehydrated or overhydrated, kind of like what you were saying earlier, is like we want to be right in that sweet spot consistently. Um and of course, um, you know, proper hydration, kind of going back to the 2% decrease, right? If we're looking at that on a big scale, proper hydration has has been found to be the single most important thing you can do to treat chronic illness. And so uh in in some of my reading, doctors will actually uh before they do any kind of treatment, they will say, Are you properly hydrated? That's the first step. That's the first line of defense.

SPEAKER_01 9:10

So that that actually is a fascinating thing. If anybody's going through and working with somebody who maybe have is having inconsistent scans, right, with their AO scan technology, that's always a great question to are you consistently hydrated? Not did you hydrate today, but are you regularly taking in enough? And then we'll we'll talk about what enough is as well. Not that you don't know, there's a million resources out there, it seems like, on what um is correct. I mean, I've heard from half your body weight to a certain regimen of water, and which all of which I think have the right and probably successful um impact on the body because barring overhydrating, right? And and I and we could talk about some of the dangers of actually just getting too much just straight H2O and without the associated minerals involved, you can actually get into a flushing situation and that can cause some challenges. But what we do find, and what we have found, and I think you found this as well with the different researchers that and studies we went through, is that even the researchers who have chosen in part of their or their life study to study water of all things, basically say uh there's more we don't know about water than what we do know about water. And especially when it comes to how it works within the body. That's fascinating to me given the readily available amount of water and the consumption of water. It's fascinating to me. I in fact, I came across of somebody who did and did study water as a part of his career. There's a Nobel laureate, Albert uh Sens Gheorghe. He said that discovery consists of seeing what everybody else has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought. So you can take the most obvious topic, everybody sees it, everybody sees H2O, Jake, everybody sees water, everybody thinks they know everything about water, knows enough about water, and then all of a sudden we learn about a new discovery or two or 10 because somebody has chosen to think a new way about it, even in something so prevalent as water, right? Fascinating.

SPEAKER_03 11:31

That's beautiful. When I when I first started diving into hydration, I thought, okay, this is cool to learn. Because one, you know, we're preparing for a podcast and we want to provide the best content possible. Um and you know, anyone who wants to be challenged by a subject, hydration will challenge you. Um, but I think when I thought of its personal importance to me, and and why I think this is relevant to the discussion is is I think applying new concepts and new things learning in my life uh helps me to be mindful of that subject in my life. So I thought with hydration and these things that I'm learning, applying the concepts, and and not only am I potentially doing my body some good by hydrating more optimally. You'd hope, right? Yeah. Uh I I did drink a lot of water before. I ate some hydrating.

SPEAKER_01 12:27

I was gonna ask you, uh, in studying this, how do you did you notice have you have you consumed more water? Oh, yes. During the same period. Consumed.

SPEAKER_03 12:35

Yeah, and and and consumed more. I don't know, and I don't know. I maybe pushed back on the more water, but maybe I'd consumed water properly. Oh, very more properly. Yeah. Probably it came with some more water because I was looking at some of my water intake some days and wow, you know, it's it wasn't even close. I can't believe I was, I mean, I was much further than that 2% decrease. I would have think I thought. Um But as far as the mindfulness thing goes, and and I don't mean to stray off the topic, but it might be a good backdrop for the rest of this episode is is drinking that water, you know, adding salt to it, drinking in the morning, right, eating foods that hydrate, um and all of that, and drinking in the right times of day. That that sort of uh that sort of mindfulness just it improved my life. And I and I started to do other things as well to optimize that hydration. It's is kind of a cycle, right?

SPEAKER_01 13:34

If you happen to be listening, uh thank you, first of all. Uh but uh a great time to grab a glass of water, yeah. Right? Regardless of the day, we'll do and we'll even talk about uh times of day and and circadian rhythms and how that impacts the the the water that you take. Uh let's uh baseline, right? Okay. H2O, the molecular structure of what we know to be water. It also comes in its different uh stages or states. We know water in its solid form, we know water in obviously the liquid form, we're aware of water in its gas form. Um and we're going to make, and we're gonna spend actually some time in that fourth phase, which is again um science uh and science research. Although this is decades and decades old and in the making, uh, this fourth phase of water is powerful, although contested still, and has its it's it has its own set of doubts to it, but there are there is enough evidence out there that there is a state of water that is acts like gas, kind of acts like solid, but then has some properties of liquid. And it's so it's in between all of these, uh, and it's often been described as a gel-like substance. Uh, but we'll we'll the that's I think where a lot of the powerhouse resides that we're going to find in the discovery process of looking at something so familiar, we're going to tease out a few things that say, okay, why is it when if I have been dehydrated? And we'll talk about, let's talk about that really quick. Dehydration uh or and and hydration comes in two ways. One is you could look at your percentage, like you said in the very beginning, a 2% reduction in consumption is like smoking a cigarette, right?

SPEAKER_03 15:27

Same impact on your blood vessels and the way that the thelium constricts and dilates, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:32

Correct. Good. But then there's the other part of hydration, and probably the more valuable part to some degree is that we're talking about the saturation of the tissue, the tissues throughout the whole body. Um, we I think that is critical to understand that we're not just looking at consumption, but what does consumption lead to? When we talk about mindfulness, we're talking about drinking consuming the water in such a way so that the body's tissues can optimally have the resource to do what they need to do. And we'll talk about energy as well.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

Uh Medical Daily had a report and it showed that 75% of Americans are dehydrated. But either, you know, at rest or but especially at uh inactivity, sweating. We're sweating out all of our and I and I uh I I watched or I kind of followed a uh a doctor and a researcher, and he talked about athletes and how how can an athlete drop dead from a heart condition or you know, some kind of chronic pain or chronic illness and how they how do they drop dead? Yeah, aren't they the most you know healthy, yeah, strong individuals? Right. And he talked about sweating and the importance of replenishing the sodium, potassium, all the electrolytes back into your body. He talked a lot about selenium too and a lot of minerals. Um and uh so I talked about the 2% decrease, right? Yep. And that also I think applies to preventing against the chronic illnesses. Chronic uh so we we go cancer, we go atherosclerosis, we go diabetes. And we talked about this last episode, the the last episode. The four horsemen, the four horsemen of death. Um we talk uh uh let's see, we we uh it's supports full cognitive abilities, the endothelial health, yep, and improving vitality and longevity uh when you hydrate properly.

SPEAKER_01 17:28

So seven seventy five percent. 75% of Americans in this report are dehydrated. But but we all drink plenty of soda, has water in it. Americans drink plenty of coffee, yeah, has water in it, right? Yeah, aren't we getting enough water?

SPEAKER_03 17:43

Well, there is water in those uh substances, those those drinks. Um, what I see with uh those drinks is the caffeine. And uh that that was that was what helped me understand. Uh it's almost like a like it cancels out the water a little bit because it's a diuretic. Yeah, right. So it signals the kidneys to flush. And so um, you know, I drink coffee a lot. Yeah and I had to that that was kind of that mindfulness thing. It's like you have to offset that. You have to drink water. And that's that goes back to being mindful. If you're drinking soda, if you're drinking coffee or caffeinated beverages, you want to just make sure that you're supplementing your body with proper hydration.

SPEAKER_01 18:23

And what would that what would you uh did you come across anything um that would recommend? Like if you if you did consume, let's say, eight ounces of coffee or a caffeinated soda, what as far as hydration goes, you've now caused obviously the opposite effect for the body to flush and and get rid of a hydration level or reduce it. What would you do?

SPEAKER_03 18:48

So what I saw and what helped me was I would, and typically I drink coffee in the morning, right? I guess soda's not typically tied to the morning. But I would try, I I I heard, you know, from eight ounces to 16 ounces per cup, right? Yeah. It's like, oh man, that's so much drinking. I'm gonna pee so much. Yeah. Um, tried to, uh, another big thing, part of that was adding electrolytes, a little bit extra, a little bit extra electrolytes. So I'd put some uh, and this is something that many, many doctors talk about, right? First thing in the morning, you get that, you know, give or take 16 ounces of water. Right. Add some like sea salt or some uh Himalayan salt. Uh pink salt. And then some even say squeeze a lemon. Yes. Jennifer Nelson Hawks is uh a lot, she she appears a lot on this uh Solex content on YouTube. She's been on a couple of podcasts, and she is a she frequently talks about the importance of squeezing a lemon. Yeah. And uh how that just you when you drink that water, you know, to offset the caffeine or the diuretic, um, to just saturate the tissues. Yeah. Um, especially when you're flushing out so much.

SPEAKER_01 19:59

So critical first thing in the morning, right? Yeah. Uh and throughout the day. But I I remember recall it uh reading about uh Tim Ferriss, who not a researcher. Well, I guess he is a researcher in his own way. Yeah, he is his own experiment by far. Uh for our body. Uh he talks about um an optimal refresh or restore in the morning that he through his own measurements was I believe it was 750 mls in the morning with a pinch of salt, Himalayan salt, and then and and lemon as well, uh, as I recall. And and I did that for a long time. And it is, it's a great boost. In fact, I be since doing this research, I go to bed at night with a full glass of water on my nightstand, ready for the morning. So you can wake up. Ready for the morning when the in the morning, and the first thing I do, I grab it off, take it, and I drink the whole thing down. Um uh Huberman Labs, Andrew Huberman, he did a uh uh some research, presented some um information. He talked about um uh the the pace at which you should drink, or he brought some interesting information forward where the first 10 hours of the day you should have eight ounces an hour on average. On average, right? He said, Don't be you don't have to be militant about this. This is not like oh the hours done, eight ounces, let's go. You know, we can average it out, but kind of pace yourself through the 10 hours, which I thought I thought was interesting.

SPEAKER_03 21:21

Yes, yeah, and that's you know, most healthy adults. Yeah. Um, I guess there's uh probably extremes if you're like a really tiny person, tiny person, you know, and if you're a really big person. Um and uh you can adjust to that. And and then you then I then I immediately thought, okay, is that the same when you're in activity, when you're exercising? Oh yes. That number changes a little bit, and and uh and with a conversation with Andy Galpin, not my conversation with the this guy, the PhD professor of uh kinesthesiology uh kinesthesiology? Thank you, thank you. That's a that's a I practiced that word before this podcast because I thought I'd say. It um, but he talks about um dividing your weight by 30. Uh-huh. And that in ounces is how much you should be drinking every 15 minutes. Kai, when I first tried that, I forgot about the divide 30 part. And I started trying to drink 30 ounces every 15 minutes. And now you're going to flip. Well, I bought this so and I forgot, and I didn't have my water to know. So I went and bought a water bottle from the gym that I was at. And it was, oh man, I it was probably this tall, I guess, 30 ounces. It was 30 ounces. Like, I gotta drink one of these every 15 minutes. And so I started trying and I got halfway through. I'm like, I can't do it. I'm gonna be dehydrated today. Darn it. But and luckily it's the divide by 30. Divide by 30. Yep. And um and that's that's a specific name. Get the galpin equation. The galpin equation. And I think uh I won, I don't know who coined that term. I know that Andrew Huberman said, let's call it the Galpin equation. So maybe that's just the next history of this equation. It's gonna be the Galpin equation. And and I guess since we're on exercise, Dr. Galpin, um when you become dehydrated in exercise, and this this made me think back on some of those days at the gym where I'm gonna be like, I'm gonna max out today on bench press or I'm gonna power clean X amount of pounds. I get to the gym, I you know, I feel okay, feel normal, and I cannot get the weight up. And I wonder because is this a mental thing? Am I not getting over the mental hurdle of moving this weight? This lot of weight, yeah. And that that was typically my dad's answer. And I wonder if my dad has been dehydrated for years too. Maybe I got to talk to him. Um, but what he says is when we become dehydrated during exercise, which can happen so fast, we can be properly hydrated before and then start sweating. Yeah, and we can already almost reach that 2% decrease. And just think of that effect on your blood vessels, your cognitive abilities during exercise, which you do not want your blood vessels not working, constricting and dilating during exercise. Anyway, uh, he talked about how there's a significant increase in perception of difficulty and exercise. So maybe that does kind of go back to the brain muscle, the neuromuscular uh connection there.

SPEAKER_04 24:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:28

And I thought with it being so easy to get to that 2% decrease, if you're not careful, how much how much gains are being left behind. Yeah. If you're looking for those gains, right?

SPEAKER_01 24:42

And you don't just have to be an athlete, right? I mean, athlete, obviously, it's so evident. Let's say it's a hot day, but you're a thinker, right? You're you're you're gonna go into an important meeting. You want to make sure that you are properly hydrated because one of the things, like in uh the the first 10 hours of the day after you wake up drinking eight ounces a day, according to Huberman, um one of the keys that he points out is that it's a circadian rhythm of cells that actually have to do more work during those 10 hours of alertness. Part of that is your brain. And part of what we do know is that proper hydration actually enhanced, delivered to the cells, right? And we're gonna let's get into this uh a little bit deeper. But getting into the cells actually allows obviously the cells to function at a more uh at an improved level or at an optimal level. What does that mean? That means one of the functions of those cells within the brain is an actual what's called an awareness. Uh they there is a greater alertness that takes place when you're properly hydrated according to your cognitive function. Well, the last thing you want to do is go into an important meeting and then be dehydrated. Your alertness is weakened, and thus your ability to flow through the information is harmed, right? So uh sitting here totally hydrated, hopefully I was out in the hot weather outside, but drinking water along the way just to make sure that I try to avoid losing what I'm what I'm trying to uh what I've kept and trying to keep, right?

SPEAKER_03 26:25

Yeah, and that's that's uh really the first line of defense there is hydration. And speaking of cells, it is absolutely crucial to every cell function. Clearly, right? I mean, if we're 99% water, water's got to be important to our cells. Right. It's it's that irrigation system delivering nutrients, oxygen in out of cells. Uh, you spoke about uh being outside temperature regulation of your body. Yep. Um, it's uh maybe this kind of goes back to some cellular stuff, but it rids of waste products. Yeah. Um, it it's anti-inflammatory. Yes, it has those properties in it as well, for sure. It's a it's it's almost a lubricant for your joints. So if you're having you know a lot of chronic joint pain, you know, maybe water is one of the first things that you explore. Yes. I'm not a doctor, I'm not saying what you should do or not do. Yeah. But what I see here a lot is that that's the first thing. Make sure you're properly hydrated. And then all of the chemical and metabolic reactions. It's it's a breakdown of what we eat into the form of proteins, you know, lipids, carbs, and it essentially, you know, from uh food to energy to elimination.

SPEAKER_01 27:34

Yes. Let's I love this because this is where we now start to let's pull back a couple layers of the onion on on water and and look at it a little bit more uh strategically within the actual body's use of water. Uh and why? Why does the body need so much water? Of course, we understand that there you can uh you can uh you consume water, goes into the bloodstream, and it goes to the cells. Uh water can also act as a carrier, it it helps with diffusion, taking lipids, briefly bonding with them, uh, and then allowing them to be carried into uh um and diffused past the cell membrane into the cell so the cell has more resource. Um we we could talk about the aquaporing channels and things like that down the road, but what I want to get into is let's get this macro view of that why is water so important? And let me make an argument here based off of several different uh studies. Um hydrophilic bodies versus hydrophobic bodies. Hydrophilic are our bodies, not just the whole body, but any surface that likes water, right? Hydrophilic.

SPEAKER_03 28:54

Water-loving substance or material. Yes. And we said water-loving.

SPEAKER_01 28:59

I just I water loving that's exactly that's a great way to think it. And and there are a lot of water-loving substances, right? And clearly the body is a water-loving substance, whether it's uh um uh well, let's just go all the way down to the cellular level. Um, even the fascia that that wraps the organs and the muscles, water-loving. Well, what happens? And this is where we get into some of the key function as to why we don't feel really, very good when we're dehydrated, and why we feel great and perform better when we are hydrated. When we look at that, we start with okay, what happens when H2O is introduced to a water-loving surface? Okay. Okay, blood love blood vessels, cells, let's just anything, any tissue. What happens is normally H2O is neutrally charged. The the two hydrogens and the one oxygen actually have an offsetting charge combined. Get into protons and electrons, that's the basis, right? When we talk about water, that protons, electrons are the elementary units what we're of what we're talking about, and they play central low roles in water. What happens though? Well, when H2O, this neutral state, actually spawns a negative charge. We don't know every reason. Again, there's not we we the researchers can't tell you every concrete reason why this happens, but it does happen and it happens consistently. A negative charge is spawned against the H2O, and this actually requires some sort of change to the structure of the H2O itself. What happens is that spawning is the formation of what um an Australian named uh John Waterson uh termed. He called the exclusion zone. And and what what are we excluding? Well, we're excluding everything but the structure, the structure itself of of hydrogens and oxygens. Um it was Sir William Hardy that that termed the phrase the fourth phase of water, which is what we're going to talk about right now, and that is this area around any hydrophilic surface. So, what happens? Water on a surface, let's just call it a blood vessel interior wall. H2O is present. You get a negative charge added, it picks up a negative charge in that molecular structure, and then it starts to create this honeycomb structure, a plane of honeycomb structures as more electric charge uh negative charges are added, which then actually cause the structure to be imbalanced as it builds. What you end up with is you end up with uh because it's because it's this honeycomb structure, you end up with an extra hydrogen atom. Well, that hydrogen atom actually gets pruned, it gets cleaved from the structure, it is positively charged, and it goes away next to this exclusion zone. And so you get this barrier around H2O that is actually developing an H3O2 structure, and it is cast off in this exclusive uh any solvents, anything that shouldn't be related to this gets pushed away. The H the H3O2 structure, this exclusion zone, actually becomes very organized and structured. And again, apply this anywhere if within the cell, not just the cell, but within the cell, again around the monochendra. Hydrophilic in anywhere that's like you're getting this organization. Well, molecular activity is commonly in science defined as being random, yet in this exclusion zone, test over test over test over test, shows a consistent structure being held. And why so it's so it's being held, and that in and of itself is fascinating because that holding holds what kind of charge? And this is where actually we become very powerful, where water becomes very powerful. The easy, as it's termed, exclusion zone, easy, is commonly negatively charged. Next to the easy, you have the rest of the H2O structure where H2Os have been cast off and been picked up and and they're neutrally charged, or actually, what happens closer to the easy, you have a positive charge. So you have this negative post of Easy, and right next to it, you have a positive. Does that sound familiar?

SPEAKER_03 34:17

Hmm. An immediate image comes to mind of a battery. Am I on the right track?

SPEAKER_01 34:23

That's exactly right, though. You look, go open the hood in your car, yeah, and you look at your battery, and you have two posts. One's a negative charge, one's a bot a positive charge. They both must exist to do what? Well, they to deliver energy, to produce energy for the body. And that's exactly what other research researchers have done, have studied, is that not only can it grab and hold on to energy, it can hold on to it and deliver it to other areas of the body where energy is needed. It's constantly moving. You're constant, the structure as organized as it is, it's constantly moving, shedding off, building a greater exclusion zone. The more hydrophilic the surface is, the deeper the exclusion zone. But it becomes this pure state where energy in and of itself is intended to be held and used. Fascinating because of what can happen with that energy. We just because it exists doesn't mean it has energy. The question then is how does it get its energy? Think of your whole body, right? Every surface, every subsurface, every cell, every part of the cell has this exclusion zone built on it. Where H2O does exist, we know because 98%, 99% of the body, the body's molecular structure is water. Part of water is this easy area, the whole body's filled with this high energy potential surface. It just needs energy, it just needs something to provide it the charge, and it's going to hold it and it's going to deliver it. So the question becomes well, how do you give this easy zone? How do you give the easy the charge?

SPEAKER_03 36:34

Are you asking me?

SPEAKER_02 36:36

I have an idea. I have an idea. Let's see. Well, how I saw it is light. You totally are cheating. Are we totally like looking at my notes here?

SPEAKER_03 36:48

No, I can't see. I cannot read your handwriting, Kai. But no, I uh I love the tagline that that we are solar powered beings, yes, in a way, right? Yeah. And uh, and I just I uh when when I was learning about light and and briefly, right? And I'll and I'll definitely leave some of this discussion to you. Oh no. Um, but like when the light waves reach the water, the water molecule splits. And like you were saying, and it chart and it gives that that that battery, the power, that that little uh jump start, if we're using the analogy of the car.

SPEAKER_01 37:22

Yep. That that's a great, in fact, you're you're talking about the splitting of of the the molecular structure of water. Uh it's interesting because in a very similar way, you want to talk about what plants do, and we do it in a very uh as well as far as creation of energy, photosynthesis, right in line. Yes, that's exactly what's happening. And what is photosynthesis? But a creation of energy for a bunch of different activities to be done.

SPEAKER_03 37:51

Yep. The Journal of Cell Science has a really good, uh, I don't know if we'll put them in the show notes or something, but it talks about uh it made me think of like, wait, are we just all plants?

SPEAKER_01 38:02

I love that. Well, uh, you know what, along that line, light is so powerful. Uh, and one of the the studies uh that was done with uh Pollock and quite a few others uh who are who have been very interested in studying water for a long time, their entire career for that matter, they they wanted to know well, what things do help charge this easy and this this water battery within the throughout the body. Light was one who he they came across it in a very unusual way. Um it was uh Pollock's assistant who was he had had an easy created under under a microscope. So he had this hydrophilic surface, he was watching the growth of this exclusion zone, and then the rest of the bulk water, as they call it, that was next to the exclusion zone. He had it under his microscope and he's looking.

SPEAKER_03 39:00

And essentially that was a container with a surface of the hydrophilic material. Yep, watching as the water was you know reacting in a way, and then yeah, the microscope.

SPEAKER_01 39:13

Shedding protons to build towards the bulk water, uh, igniting its negative charge, and then he could see under the microscope, as they have, and they have evidence of this over and over again, that this exclusion zone, this kind of pure state, grows. Well, it's the end of the day, and he by accident turns off his light, goes home, leaves everything exactly where it is, goes home, has dinner with his family to return tomorrow. Well, he comes back the next morning and he looks in it under his microscope and he sees that the actual exclusion zone had shrunk in half. Nothing had changed, but he left the room. So, I mean, was it me? Was it, you know, what were the circumstances? Why did it shrink? And so he flips on the light for his microscope and the lights and obviously everything else in the room. And as he's watching it, he sees it grow back within minutes to where it was the night before. So then obviously that that spawned the okay, we need to do some research, some studies on this, and then they began. And what they the conclusion of the different um studies that have not only introduced the theory, proved the theory, but then has this been tried by by peers, was that ultraviolet light all the way up to infrared light, all of it will actually charge the battery. Exposure to all of it. So are we solar beings? Yes, solar powered, yes, absolutely, all of it, because it is that light actually from the sun that that passes on the energy required and held in the exclusion zone, held for a long time for that matter. Now the the other question was was does ultraviolet light uh is there a type of light that is more efficient at providing energy to the body, the exclusion zone in particular? The answer is yes. Infrared light was the strongest by far compared to ultraviolet. When you look at the spectrum, that's the spectrum that you're looking at. Well, although at Solox, we don't have uh an infrared light at the moment. We do have something with long wavelengths, we do have that sits right next to infrared, and that is our red light. We have our 660 band and our illuminator. People, a lot of people have had wonderful experiences so far with these red light devices. And let me tell you just one quick story on that. Um, one of the persons that works here in the office, her son had his tonsils taken out. And um, and she had a 660 band, and so she loaned it to him and said, Look, I want you to put that on that area of of your neck in order to have the red light influence what's going on. Um, and like most surgeries, they said, Hey, by day three, you are going to hate your surgeon, right? You're gonna be miserable, you're gonna wish this never happened and get through it. Well, day two came and gone, day three has come and gone, day four has now passed, and he's yet to experience a traumatic impact from the surgery itself. He has consistently been using red light in the area of where the surgery was. Um, and she asked me, she goes, Do you think that that could have an impact? And I said, Absolutely. I mean, we know that red light helps inflammation, but the question is how? Well, when we learn about the exclusion zone, we know exactly how. It's because the red light is actually providing energy for those cells, charging that battery to give all the resource necessary for it to do what it's supposed to do. And in his case, it is to heal. To deal, I mean, the proper inflammation response is correct, but only to the extent that it is required, because it should be a healing process. We don't want chronic uh situations of inflammation that causes more problems. But he is having a very positive experience. It looks to be directly attributed to the 660 band, but rather I would say it's More likely because the 660 band is influencing the exclusion zone and that fourth phase of water to hold energy and to deliver energy to the cells that need to do the work to fix the situation. You want to look at the whole picture in this scenario without understanding the value of water in his system and what water does naturally in the exclusion zone and creating that battery of energy all over the body, we are completely missing 80% of what's going on here. I'm not discounting 660 band. Absolutely. In fact, they they prove that that is a valuable resource towards what's happening. Further proof, further proof of actually how that is effective and true, is every time deep sea explorers go down and they take a sample of water from the ocean floor, where by the way there is no light, and there is no oxygen, they're down there and they find new species every time. How is that possible if even some of the species that they have actually require oxygen and the effects of light? How is it possible? Well, the answer is actually back to this study in and of itself. The Earth floor through the thermal vents has infrared radiation. Infrared radiation actually reaches the ocean floor. Thus, energy is being produced on hydrophilic surfaces and creating life. Fascinating because it's so far beyond uh this is a discussion of H2O today. No, no, we're talking talking about so much more as far as power goes and what it can do with the body.

SPEAKER_03 46:04

Kai, I want to bring it back to the what I have seen as the three principles of hydration, right? What we just uh that was that was excellent knowing kind of what the what water can do inside of us as hydrophilic beings. I don't I don't know if that would decide a right way to say it. I've never seen it written that way. But and so we all know that, you know, maybe we can call it the first principle, right? Uh drinking water. Uh, you know, absorption gets to the cellular level to produce energy. Eating water. Yes. Right? Hydrating greens and fruits. Um, and this is kind of as opposed to those salt-heavy processed foods that that seem to be everywhere.

SPEAKER_01 46:50

We eat something and it's raw that's going to give you a lot of water. Quench. That was a book, uh, quench. Yes. They did a great job for that book teaching about how to get water into your system.

SPEAKER_03 47:00

Yep, through food, and they have a full smoothie plan. Yeah. So if you're interested in that, they've got great ingredients and and recipes for that. And then they said there's a third principle to this. And I won't say this is as groundbreaking as there's a fourth phase of water, right? But there's a third principle to hydration, and that's movement. And so that's that's actually delivering the hydration to all of the parts of the body is you need movement, this idea of movement. And one of those water delivery systems in our body is the fascia. And that what from what I gather, this is somewhat of a new discovery in maybe the past 20 years or so that they've actually been able to see what the fascia is. Because they they described that when students would cut open bodies for school and the bodies were dried out, the fascia was dried out, and they were it was just disregarded. But now it's been seen as as you know, they coined the term one of the deepest anatomical mysteries. Now that already piqued my my my uh interest there. And and so to to access this fascia, they they say that it is the the largest system in your body in that it it covers everything in your body. It covers your muscles, your brain, your tissues. It's almost like a gel water um substance with collagen. And and what it's just it's it's absolutely just just incredible to learn about because again, going back, it's it's something that you can further do to influence the hydration in your body. So Dr. Schleip, he he's he's he's a um he he runs a research group in Germany and he he wrote the book uh fascial fitness. And he he says uh he he writes that the fascia is also populated with uh receptors and nerve endings. So why why I bring that up is because I feel like the the research that I've done maybe over the past year on trying to improve my health and well-being has been okay, how am I gonna prevent chronic disease and chronic illness? And why this is important to me is is if if the fascia has nerve endings and receptors, um, and the and and they're uh and they describe them as uh spatial receptors, um, they fire when the tissue stretches and moves, and and your body can register where it's at in space. And so um in the Journal of Internal Medicine and uh Dr. Atiya on his many amazing publications, studies, books, YouTube videos, he's made himself very accessible, which is absolutely incredible. These have talked about when you're over 50, um, and this is the journal of internal medicine, talks about if you're over 50, one in three individuals dies within 12 months after a hip fracture. And that only gets worse as you age. Dr. Atia's specific was if you're over 65 and you fall and you break your femur, you break your hip, then you have your 12-month mortality rate raises 15 to 30 percent. How how important is that connection with the fascia, keeping it hydrated? You know, ingesting the water, but then moving that water throughout your fascia to not only yes, okay, you want to you want to saturate your your whole body, you want those reactions with the exclusionary zone and and receiving light for energy, but but another facet of this is that spatial awareness. So you don't and and and I maybe this is rather narrow, right? But the numbers bogg my mind is one in three has a chance of dying after you fall after you're 50 years old. So so the fascia, you know, it requires hydration to do its job. And and one way for to do the fascia, they they talk about twisting, they they call them restorative twists. And so obviously, when you do yoga, you do tai chi, qigong, dancing. Um, you can call those uh charge breaks. So it's not only moving the water, but all those chemical reactions and uh metabolic functions, you're you're charging your body. Yes, it's another way to charge the body. It's uh it's it's it's quite interesting. So they they brought this term, and this was that from the book uh Quench. So Dr. uh Dana Cohen, she coined this term of uh uh let's become office athletes. And they say to activate this fascia, to to reap all of the benefits of charging your body, of of keeping your body aware in spatial in spatial awareness, um that you need, even if you're going to the gym, even if you're very active, that you still need to supplement throughout the day with uh what they call micro movements. And so that's and that's that's basically you go going back to those those small twists. So one example is, you know, how often nowadays, I mean, I guess if if we want to be safe drivers, we still want to, you know, look behind us as we're backing out, even though we have that camera. Right. Right. Uh, but how often, other than driving, backing out for the first time during the day in the morning, uh, do we actually turn ourselves? And that was more of a self- self-assessment for me. Yeah. Um, and they talk about these these twists. Uh, you can twist your arms, you can twist your body. And and again, Quench has this awesome program for you know their micro movements throughout the day, because when we're in an office, and and and well, so often we find ourselves in these extremely dehydrating environments. Whether it's the air conditioning, if you fly planes a lot, you you're getting extremely dehydrated. You're getting dried out. And even if we're trying to drink water and we're sitting all day, we're not moving, these micro movements help deliver that hydration. Hydration is just the first step. Drinking the water, eating the water is just the first step. But movement completes that hydration. It's it's it releases when you twist, it releases fresh fluids full of oxygen and nutrients. It's anti-inflammatory. You know, you get that buildup of waste in your body, cellular waste. And uh so I've, you know, I saw I saw a couple cool things about this, you know, where where it's applied, maybe, maybe is there are there certain regions of the world that of people that move more, uh maybe that can influence their longevity. And I came across this, uh, the blue zones. Uh so basically the blue zones are five places. I know, kind of, I actually don't know why it's blue zones. Maybe, maybe I missed something in the reading, but they call them blue zones. Maybe, maybe those listening or watching like orange zones or something. Right? Or yellow. Yellow's happy too, right? Yeah. But it essentially it's five places in the world uh where people live the longest. Okay. And blue zones has identified nine commonalities. Okay. And I won't go through all nine. Uh, but the first one that it showed in this reading I did was movement. And so they they they found in their environment ways to move naturally. Constantly, you know, being reminded or constantly being uh forced, maybe, and maybe that's a bit strong of a word, but constantly uh nudging them into moving. Whether it's uh I I immediately thought of, okay, when I learned about this, I was like, okay, I'm gonna go eat, because I eat on the couch quite a bit. Yeah. Maybe that's an adult thing. Maybe I'm rebelling against my parents, but but I will purposely try to have half of my meal still over on the counter. So you have to go get it up. So I have to get up and get it when I learn about this, right? It's forcing me to go up because I'm still hungry. Um, and then and then it came up with uh Sanford Bennett, the the man who turned young at 70. Okay. Uh interesting tagline. But essentially, he from chronic illness, and this was a little hazy, it didn't, it didn't go into a lot of the details on what caused him to be bedridden. But in his book that he wrote, uh Exercising in Bed, he wrote a whole book and then he wrote his whole workout plan. What he did. Essentially, he brought himself back.

SPEAKER_01 55:44

So he did this by micro movements, obviously being somewhat of an invalid uh and having to use small movements to get bigger movements in order to be able to obviously get out of bed and live a more full life.

SPEAKER_03 55:59

Yes. And all he did while was just laying there and doing his twisting, did twists, he constricted his muscles and then relaxed them. And he he thinks the reason behind his chronic illnesses and why he was better than it, he just was so broken down from a long career of probably heavy work. I mean, he lived in the 1800s, yeah. That it was he thought it was the accumulation of waste in his tissues. Um, all of that cellular waste that that built up over the years, him not doing those, you know, restorative movements. Yeah. And once he started those, his life completely changed.

SPEAKER_01 56:37

You know, that's one of the things that I love in the scanner, the body system scan, to me, is is one of the more uh informative or and it might uh sometimes come across as seemingly generic. Yes. Yet to the micro movement uh agenda, it is actually much more impactful, kind of like how water is more than we think it is, right? When you do your body system scan and you go then to recommendations, right? When you're looking at what sometimes are those are movements, you know, get out and do yoga, go for a walk, that sort of thing. And sometimes it's around hydration. Sometimes it's around uh hydration, but then also balancing with the right nutrients, right? Leafy greens or whatever it might be. And that opens up a the great suggestive. Those aren't just, hey, here's just a nice thing to say to you, right? What we're looking at, and in fact, when you look at that, it's it really is powerful. It's Occam's razor. It's the the most simple solutions are usually the right solutions. Uh, drink enough water, get up and move around, eat like vegetables, right? These are rocket science sort of sort of things. But it's when we step away from those that we actually walk into danger. Yes. I mean, even if back on the exclusion zone, it can actually be destroyed. It can deconstruct itself. It's found to deconstruct itself when there is no more energy available to hold it together.

SPEAKER_03 58:15

Turning that light off.

SPEAKER_01 58:16

Turning the light off, researcher. Yeah. When you've stopped doing, when you stopped doing the things that you're learning about in your scanner or the things you already know about that are good, when you stop doing those, you're actually going to put your body in a state where, yeah, you think illness has to come along because it's the only thing left to come along, because you aren't giving yourself anything to actually sustain what is a better situation. When you, in fact, to the real scary thing is when the exclusion zone starts to break down, if we look back at the effect of water on the body, that breakdown actually releases oxygen, single oxygen atoms. Those oxygen free roaming oxygen atoms actually can create oxidization oxidation. That is the process of the reactive oxygen species, or what is known as a problem-causing structure for the body, whether it's disease, whether it's inflammation, whatever it might be, if you don't bring light in, if you don't bring water in, if you don't pay attention to the activities that the body system's inviting you to do, then you might be missing an opportunity to maintain a state or improve a state that you're learning about from the scanner.

SPEAKER_04 59:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 59:41

And it's right there. It's not rocket science. This isn't new stuff, although some of this stuff may be new to a lot of us who, when we came across as far as the intricacy of it. But we do understand that we need light, we do understand that we need water, we do understand that we need to move. And all of those things, like Lauren said to you in the very beginning, the consistency, I think, of those will allow the scanner to be clearer in its education for you. And I believe that over time you'll see an impact on your well-being because of it. If everything is going to be tied, if everything as far as health goes is going to be tied to your hydration levels in the tissue, uh, a great place to start. So what do you drink enough water? What, 10? Oh, yeah. Was it uh the first 10 hours, eight ounces per hour? Yeah. Get your 660 band on, right? Expose yourself to some sunlight along the way. Um, and then get up and force yourself to move. Yep. Right? Do some activities every day throughout the day, and that's a formula for actually a much better state.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:56

Yeah. Right. Just those three simple things. And uh it goes back to you knowing what you're doing for your body and keeping that consistent. And I just keep thinking, well, I'm gonna move a little bit, I'm gonna drink, I'm gonna eat more. And then knowing that, oh, this exclusionary zone can be created through light, I'm gonna go outside and do a walk.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:17

Yeah, let's do it. Yeah, get outside, get out in the sun. If it's nighttime, get on. So everybody listen, if you're listening to this right now, it's it's after the sins, go go for a walk. Go, go move around, go take a uh a bottle of water on your walk. Yes, you know, if you're driving in the car, when you park the car in a parking lot, park far away from the building and walk to the building, right? Take the stairs, that sort of thing.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:39

Force yourself into environments that nudge you to move.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:42

Yeah, it's so simple. I mean, it seems so obvious on its face. We all know this, but sometimes we all just need the reminder. Yeah, right? Yeah. And this was a great reminder.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:58
