Navigating Self-Care and Fertility: A Deep Dive into Nutrition and Wellness with Dr. Stephanie Rimka

• Dr. Susan Fox

Share episode

Ever felt the weight of the world on your shoulders as you juggle the roles of caregiver, parent, partner, and professional? This episode brings you a compelling conversation with Dr. Stephanie Rimka, a women's health expert, who stresses the importance of self-care, especially for those dealing with fertility challenges. We dive deep into her courses, tackling the immense stress women face as primary caregivers and why putting your well-being first is essential for being the best version of yourself.

Imagine a world where diet and fertility are linked, where the carnivore diet could potentially boost your chances of conception. Sounds controversial? We thought so too, until we explored the benefits of this diet, the concept of deuterium declination, and the dietary model of Chinese medicine for reproductive-aged women. We also uncover the dietary secrets of Siberian tribes, notable for their long lifespans and high fertility rates.

As we near the end of our enlightening discussion with Dr. Rimka, we touch on pleasure, self-image, and the impact of social media on one's self-perception. Listen as Dr. Rimka shares her personal journey of overcoming trauma and finding her passion in helping others through peptides, fat loss, and weight loss. We believe in savoring moments of pleasure and we hope that you too can start being present in these experiences. The journey to wellness is unique for everyone, but with personalized solutions and a supportive community, every step you take brings you closer to your health goals.

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to today's episode of Health University. I'm delighted to have as my guest today Dr Stephanie Remka. She has been my teacher for a few courses, including brain entrainment, circadian flow and peptide therapy and I know that's the tip of the iceberg and I've taken a course that she has called 3R. I think it's being redesigned to name and I'll invite her to share with you what that new name may be. But that's the purpose of this conversation today is how 3R is so imperative to women undergoing fertility challenge, because we have now the ASRM giving diagnosis of infertility, which allows more people to get care, but what they're not getting is the actual care, and that comes from self-care. And this is what her course is just a deep dive in how to experience self-care so that you can be your most vital, vibrant and engaging person in all of your relationships. So welcome, dr Stephanie. Do you prefer Dr Stephanie or Dr Remka? I like either.

Speaker 2:

Stephanie or Dr Remka.

Speaker 1:

Okay, it ran either well or fine, and I will call you Dr Remka, because otherwise I'll trip over my tongue. Did I miss anything in the intro that you want to make sure that listeners get to know about you?

Speaker 2:

I think you did a beautiful job. So first of all, do you. I always call you Dr Fox, that's fine, yep, I go by everything.

Speaker 1:

I actually ask my patients to call me Susan because I want to take away that I'm the same way.

Speaker 2:

Isn't that funny. I'm the same in a brick and mortar right. For some reason I feel like when I'm with them present, they're better with Stephanie, unless their cultural bias needs to put the authority on me if it makes them feel safer. So a lot of times, the 60s, 70 to 80 year olds, they want to call me Stephanie and I'm like I am fine with it. All the time I'm like you know the wise woman, or like I'm good with it. I'm just here to guide you and nudge you in one little direction perhaps.

Speaker 2:

You know, help your health. And then a lot of the Southern ladies want their children to definitely go on the horse. That's right, I'm always that, but I'm good with it. I'll just say this that you know I specialize in mental health, which is really brain health. In my journey of starting with in that realm in very difficult cases, schizophrenia or mental hospital and then really being sidetracked and focusing on autism and vaccine injury, has led me to work with a lot of special needs families and it was working with, you know, thousands of these families and dealing with who is in charge of that house.

Speaker 2:

Who is making all the health decisions? Who is doing everything? Well, it's the mother. You know, 90% of the time, most of the you know, majority of all healthcare decisions are made by the woman in the home. She's deciding all of it right, and she's the primary organizer of everything, of every school schedule, doctor. You know everything, everything she made. You're not a mentor, yes, she is the one right. So she carries more weight in terms of mental stress, cognitive demand, all of that and she feels like her job is really 24 seven. There's really no time off, especially when you have high risks children that could have a seizure at any time, or have violent spells, or 13 year old still in diapers, right? So there's a lot that goes into this and these women I became one of them myself and, looking at how much we want to give, right we are, I don't care what anybody says, I'm going to stand by.

Speaker 2:

I am biologically built to create, to give, to multiply right. I take anything and I can times it by a thousand right. So that's what we do. I amplify, I make life and I want to nurture and care for that. It is what it does satisfy me, and we have fallen in many through a lot of cultural programming, not to mention our innate desire most of the time, to think that's all we can do, and if we don't do it, we're losing our value. So, to be taught, we should take care of the children before ourselves, take care of the spouse before ourselves, even the house or, and now, the business, right. We are the, the community, yeah, everything, the church, whatever it is you're doing. And so I was having to tell them so much you have to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, right? We always go back to that plain analogy. It is not selfish. If you don't do that, mama, you will pass out. Who's going to take care of the baby then? Right? So through seeing it, the wear and tear of all of them and then myself, I'm like this has got to change.

Speaker 2:

And as I started forcing, basically, let's go back to you, let's you know, it became the moment often in practice where I would say, actually I understand this eight year old boy needs help, my help right now. I see the tantrums I get. He's anxious, I understand there's emotional dysregulation, but let me that autism isn't going away right now and I'm not making it can wait three months, because actually you need me more. You just don't understand that you deserve to need me more and if I can't get you regulated, we're never going to get him regulated. Right. And so my practice led in so I can only see so many people, and so where I'd be seeking the children, you in general have to see the whole family, and so I have to deal with the whole family system, and so your children are often six patients at once. You're not getting paid more for that.

Speaker 2:

So I started the simple advice I was saying to these women over and over and over and over again for free on the side. To these moms here. Let me just tell you Like, well, when you're done with him, I promise I can't wait till I can come in here and get help for myself. Well, I can't hear that. You know, I have to have her sleeping, her little. You need so the same thing on time will then do this for you. So the same device, the same nervous system regulation, the same way of eating, the same imperative by learning to. He needs a timeout. You need a timeout. It's called respite. You need it, right, you need to go on date night. You need to be making love to your husband again. This is not an optional thing, right?

Speaker 2:

So the 3R was rest, restore, renew. I have renamed it to the radiant reset and we'll talk about the transformation of whether the course has been over like five or six years. But it really was as simple as what I take women on. That's a three month course, and then I have secondary three month course and then I have another one, and so really it's like a 12, that's a potential 12 month journey you can take into yourself with me as a guide to help you in a community of women to reflect upon and work through things together. That's really a journey into learning how to fall in love and make love to yourself again.

Speaker 2:

So the first course is about getting into the body through rest, nervous system regulation and a very nourishing way of eating. We're taking starvation, we're taking fasting, I'm taking deprivation and I don't deserve and I can't have and there's limit and lack and scarcity out of it. So that's what that all is. It's about safety, safety to be in the body once again, and nobody can get pregnant. This is a fundamental issue with pregnancy and fertility.

Speaker 2:

The body will brilliantly, by design, masterfully, like a genius, not allow you to get pregnant in times of famine, war, threat, because it knows you must be fully embodied, present and safe and abundant to take care of this life for a very long time, forever Years. I mean. It's so dependent that we know a horse pops out a hole and it gets up and runs. That is, we don't have that. You must be able to feed, protect and defend that life for years, years, before it can take care of itself. We have the longest infancy, whatever, that is, developmental stage of any mammal on earth.

Speaker 2:

So that's where that kind of is, and so it's a journey of beyond self-care. To me, it's really about the foundational step of how you talk about yourself, see yourself, define yourself, that self-image and being able to come back to being a fully embodied woman again, not just a daughter or a mother. And through the year I get you deeper into. Then you know the heart and the soul. And the next course that I'm gonna launch is going to be straight into the P word, which I'm not gonna say it. I really don't like the word vagina because it doesn't describe it, but I'm gonna use the P word, right, so you know what I'm saying, sure Well my is about the word of all the.

Speaker 1:

Frankly, I just love the word and I like the.

Speaker 2:

P word. I like the down, I like that after Regina Thomas-Sauer's book, right, so I'm gonna go into that, which is really at that point, taking women really deep into their sensuality, their sexuality, their pleasure centers, the orgasm and the power of orgasm to heal. So that's what I'm, what those the rest restore, renew. It's a way of eating. It's nourishment, not starvation, and it's nourishing yourself through thought, through behaviors, through visualization. It's scheduling time you deserve. If I have a woman that can't carve out 15 minutes a day of resting and then 15 minutes a day of self adoration, you should not be being pregnant because I worry what you'd be teaching that child.

Speaker 1:

Right, right, and it's then truly, you know, our training in these days is that we just need to knock it out, knock out, knock out whatever it is, knock out the baby and then knock out the project and knock out the managing, the teams and knock out the entrepreneurship, whatever we're doing. But what we're doing literally is knocking ourselves out at the knees and we're losing our creative potential by limiting ourselves to the projects in front of us and not doing this self care as self love.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, well, that's really what you just said, right? That's the hustle and grind kind of culture, the busy. We have a deep addiction to busyness that's been built into us. I mean, this is the whole educational system, the factory manufacturing system, and they want drone workers. We get it. You did end up there by accident. Okay, let me say that. And even you know the Bible and idle hand. What is that for you know what I'm saying? Like you're busy doing things, right, so, but just that word. Right, we're gonna knock it out. Right, it's aggression, there's violence, there's war.

Speaker 2:

That's masculine, that is pure masculine energy, which is required and needed. I am grateful for the divine masculine. I mean, there better be somebody to do that while you're seeing your baby, because it's not supposed to be you, while you're over there cuddling in case something needs to be, you need to be protected. That would be the masculine, not you, right? So of course, you wouldn't be able to do the episode.

Speaker 2:

The super bowl of femininity is to be pregnant and just to create life. Well, of course you can't be pregnant. If you're, everything you're doing is never honoring the feminine, which is to receive. If you can't give to yourself and receive from yourself, how in the world can anybody else do it to you? How could you receive the gift and then make a life right? That being, it selects exactly which sperm it's going to allow in and she is a very picky little thing and she's like what's exactly what's gonna happen, you know, and it's quite mystical in terms of the 13 that have this 13 sperm right, and then what they let the one in and then to think, spark a life, and this whole oh, radius spark is stunning, it's insane, right, the whole process. You're like, do you not? And so I think we can show them in this at times which I probably needed in my next, the master's course, which is really Serenity.

Speaker 2:

She's the next course. I don't go into fertility ton, but I do talk about these things and how, eating the right foods to pleats deuterium. I get into the science of things very, very heavy in the second course, which I feed the left brain, masculine. And then the third, I go very right, hemisphere and very spiritual and ethereal with women to really integrate. So now you can really deeply dive into that. But how are you supposed to be pregnant if you operate completely from this linear, focused goal, results oriented, masculine way and that's. I think that's a huge part of why we see so many fertility issues.

Speaker 1:

I couldn't agree more.

Speaker 1:

I mean the very fact that even with the entire brilliant IVF process and I'm a real proponent of it it's created so many loving and lovely families, but that it by its own design almost requires at least three egg retrievals, should say something unto itself that this woman is kind of just going in there and having these things knocked out done.

Speaker 1:

Exogenous hormones, egg retrieval, make the embryos whoops, now that the embryos are failing, while the embryos may be failing, because that very egg that was trying to be nurtured inside that follicle for the three months prior to knocking it out didn't get this kind of self-care and self-love. And in this woman it breaks my heart because she could be doing all the right things, she could be taking care of her nutrition and her hydration and sleeping well and doing all of the right things, but because her mindset is almost like an Excel spreadsheet, I'm gonna check this off. That very thing is the life force inhibitor, that's the fertility impediment. So I think that what you're saying here is it's the infertility buster, if you will. That says it's not just about the doing of the things, it's how you are being when you're doing these things.

Speaker 2:

Correct, yeah, if you aren't in the flow of things. And again that feminine receiving flow. I mean people are ashamed of it. I was ashamed of it. I was too.

Speaker 1:

I can remember an instance when I was probably about seven or eight months pregnant, and I was lying down on the sofa because I was seven or eight months pregnant and tired, and my then husband I heard him pull into the garage palpitations I jumped up looking like, like as Higer had just entered the room. What can I do? How can I be busy? And it was so shocking to me because it was so in my face that there was nothing to do. I was doing the right thing, but I was so inculturated that I could not, should not, be lying down, that I stunned myself. I shocked myself with how quickly I jumped up and put myself into this frenzy about doing something. So I'm.

Speaker 2:

You know it's to awareness. Well, yeah, I mean well, we're all programmed. I mean this is. I mean nobody, I wouldn't apologize for my program. I don't apologize for my programming period. My job is to catch it right. You note, look at that, I wow. And then you have an insight. You cannot learn without some type of self-awareness or some type of self-insight. So my course or anything else. Then I think imagine what you're working when you work with people. I know it's Chinese medicine. That's one of the best, my favorite stuff that I deal with. It is about that.

Speaker 2:

I do neurofeedback. You know that's a big part of my practice. I'm born certified in neurofeedback. We do that to create self-awareness and self-insight so you can self-correct that way, if you can do that. And then, once you know that skill, I want you to keep doing that until you're 122 or whatever, until you go off and then be like I'm gonna tap out, I think I'm done. See y'all later, you know? Bye, I have a longer. You know what I mean. But you should be still learning like wow, did I just say that, look what I just did, or whatever, and then you can be at choice a little bit. You're always gonna go back exactly a little bit. The programming is so big and we have to. You know, you go to sleep. You can have this fantastic day and think you wiped it all away. You go to bed, you go to sleep and there's a little bit boy reboot.

Speaker 1:

Some of that, some of that's pretty there right, Usually between the hours of two and three am.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and you're like boom. And then it's like the next day you're thinking you start oh no, I learned better, I'm doing a new routine. It came back and you can just push it away again and choose to be different. So it is not easy to, as I'm a Western or I'm an American, okay, I didn't grow up in a Taoist culture. I grew up in, you know, work, work, work, external focus, don't be doing anything. But at least I grew up in the 70s where we would be forced outside and look at clouds for hours and, I don't know, make up a game with some rocks. That's my, I don't care what you do, but get out of this house because, you know, don't dirty my house. And so there was a lot of right.

Speaker 2:

So we did have imagination and he was able to daydream, you know, and which is a very feminine, you know thing to do, and we get a sonnard for imagination and empathy. And these are our superpowers, right, thank you, could you repeat that please? These are our superpowers. It's different. It is the human superpower imagination and empathy and intuition. Those are the three superpowers of humanity, and women have it, I don't know, a hundred fold from men and that is not, that is not saying anything negative. Any man knows this. Well, of course, you're born too. I'm gonna have more empathy. I mean, it's this is.

Speaker 2:

And the men that do have really high ones, they're the ones that are like usually like shamans and psychics and whatever. Yeah, they're unique about it, right? So these are incredible superpowers and instead of embracing them culturally, we get embarrassed about that. We know she's so much, or she's so sensitive, or well, you know all these different things. We got her head in the clouds, yes, and you had yeah, let's medicate this. Or, if you need being hysterical, so we can hysterectomy, right, yeah, mm-hmm.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and in fact, as you're speaking, I'm realizing that nothing in the world has ever been created without imagination, without that moment of downtime where creative force comes through us. Right, there was a book by Elizabeth Gilbert. Oh gosh, what's the name? The Magic Sheet, the again.

Speaker 2:

The.

Speaker 1:

Magic, the Magic, yeah, about six times Exactly. I love that book, I have it on Audible, I listen to it twice and the principle, of course, is is that, you know, creativity exists, it is its own entity, almost, and it comes through us and we either get to say yes, if we have this idea, or we say yes, and maybe later, but someone else has gotta get it because that that it wants to be birthed. Yes, something wants to be birthed, and so, whether that is, you know, something new in STEM, in science or technology, or whether it is life, we must, must, must, must give ourselves that space within which to create.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and that's critical, and I think my job often with my patients or within my courses is that I'm like I'm really just here to give you permission, Mm-hmm, you know you want that. As soon as there's like this yes, and I'll do like, well, look, I'm Dr Roca and let me tell you I'm real good at what I do. You know, whatever, like they need the authority of me thing and they need the structure.

Speaker 1:

We need the structure to begin. I mean, sometimes we just can't meander into our next best self. We sometimes need someone to take our hand and guide us so that we can then blossom into our next best.

Speaker 2:

I'd make it efficient. Right, I do want you to have a nice return on investment and I'm like well, been a long time. Well, you know, I've been around the block for a minute and been doing this a long time. So these are. There's many other ways to do it. This has worked well for, you know, hundreds and thousands of women at this point that I've seen, including myself, and so wanted to try it on for 90 days. And there it's like a buffet that I've selected, I've curated, that are very effective, based on, based on neurology, based on a lot of clients, based on and truthfully, you know I'm going to say the dirty word here. That might be like shock for some people, and I know you're on the West Coast too. It's really avant garde for California, and so one of the foundations of that, first course Radiant Reset is. I do suggest a dietary reset, a gastrointestinal reset, a low inflammation reset, and it's an elimination diet.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying to eliminate toxicity, self talk, toxicity, radio like can we get rid of the TV? Can you stop watching the news? I make a. I want to help you learn to reprogram yourself towards love and light and acceptance and in honor of who you really are, and all this your job is to receive. Stop trying to stop pushing your husband away or your mom and everybody. Like sure you want to do that for me. That is about I open all the doors for me, and if people who can maybe see me would maybe see this, I'm a bigger woman.

Speaker 2:

I'm almost six feet tall. I'm from the streets of Detroit. I grew up fighting a lot. I mean, I physically fist, fighting bricks, chains, and it was a rough upbringing and I'm a mixed breed, light skinned person that people, would you know, come after and I was a target. Like you know. I mess with this one, you know, and so I. Brutality and aggression was my way, you know. Survival, yeah, and this was a formula, that one. It was a winning formula in my neighborhood to get me out of the hood. It didn't work in the rich white people world, so I had to learn a different way of behaving there. So I had two ways of behaving right and I was rewarded for being very masculine.

Speaker 2:

I played sports. People loved it. They loved me being the jock. They loved me winning Everybody's dad. They liked that I could beat the crap out of the boys. You know girls are culture. Yeah, they're culture. Yeah, you just call it really unusual, yeah, so.

Speaker 2:

So this thing, the idea it's a it's a carnivore diet. I do suggest this ultimate elimination diet of carnivore, and I'll just give this caveat it is highly effective for fertility and there's a lot of propaganda in the American Medical Association and the nutritional guidelines around staying away from these foods for women, especially women trying to get pregnant or being pregnant. I would say that's 100% the opposite advice. This is not. I'm not going to get deep into science, but deuterium is a heavy isotope of hydrogen and it's in water and it's in carbohydrates and plants. It is one of the biggest reasons that we're having infertility issues as well. From a biochemical, from a real physical thing that I can test you for and I can do a process and I can post test you, I have gotten dozens of women pregnant.

Speaker 2:

One. I'm always dealing with zinc in the man. I'm like I'm dealing with certain things with him. I'm like it's. Zinc is often the magical answer. I mean, testosterone is what I have to deal with and zinc is a big part of that. But women in hormones?

Speaker 2:

Why do we need a lot of cholesterol? We need a ton of B vitamins. We need a ton of zinc. It's also complete in super bioavailable forms. It's in the forms the human needs. The plant forms are not. You cannot use a plant form iron. You cannot use a plant form B vitamin. You can't use a plant form Z even. It takes tremendous biological energy to convert that into a usable form. So if you're trying to get pregnant and you're struggling, why would you waste any of your energy and student? Terium is in water and foods that have a lot of glucose and carbs and sugar. So there's almost no deuterium in butter and fat and meat and eggs. Terium declation low deuterium levels of the body versus high deuterium is a huge factor in fertility and pregnancy. That's a that's a wild ride down science. I go into that much deeper in the second course but if I don't know, are you familiar with deuterium and deuterium declation?

Speaker 1:

I am not. So I'm listening rapidly and as soon as we finish this call, I'm going to be probably calling you off the call or looking it up to learn more. What I will say is in the Chinese medicine model, women of reproductive years are really supposed to be eating. Eat. I respect people for you know, everyone has her own lifestyle. So it's not that I'm going to force people and I've had women come to me saying thank God you did not force me off my vegan lifestyle and I said it's not my place to force you. I can, I can make recommendations and I can tell you why it's. It is important in the Chinese medicine model because it's the most efficient way to get all of your nutrients. And, of course, you know the caveat being you know grass fed organic. You know wild caught, free range, all of these things, grass finished. But yeah, it's interesting to me how this sort of circles back to a three to 5,000 year old model of how to eat, especially at this time in a woman's life. Well, the most fertile groups.

Speaker 2:

I'm familiar with the Siberian groups, the Altians and Yucotians. No, these two tribes, so the all of. I hope everybody who's listening understands that the blue zones is all a lie and a myth. That's all been. It was all manipulated data. None of that is real. And what's all very much agenda based from the Sabbath day Adventists who run our nutrition programs, who are vegans, right. So you have a religious group that has a very strong agenda, a church with the, with the strong political ties who are in charge of our dietary guidelines. That's not how this is supposed to work. That's not science, that is cult. They push. You know.

Speaker 2:

They call a slice of pizza a cheese pizza with that. That's a vegetable, because they call it tomato a vegetable. They call it a protein, a vegetable and a starch for kids. So, like what they had, a vegetable. This is the world we're living in, that a slice on pizza counts as that. Like look, even if I'm saying I don't think you should eat a ton of vegetables, we all know pizza doesn't count as any of it. That's called. And then Franken food, right, like this is joy pizza. But I understand it's delicious, but I'm not calling it that the same as a spear, I guess, what planet are you going from at this ice Old, okay so the tribes that have the most fertility you were mentioning, yeah, Russia you know they don't like to tell us this stuff, right, they've been in their own world of.

Speaker 2:

You know we want the rest of the world to be what they are Die off. And so the year, the Tomsk University. So the people who live the longest in the world and are also the most fertile. They live in the harshest conditions in Siberia Extremely cold, overwhelming. They're in these little hud things and it's a carnivore way of eating, however. So it's an extremely low deuterium diet, but it turns out they're water, because the Russians were like why are these group of people, these centenarians, these 100 and plus they significantly there's six to seven times more centenarians there than maybe we're all rough.

Speaker 2:

What's going on with your people? So the it's not everything you think. You know that they're lying to you about longevity. These people are going to 140, they're getting pregnant at 60. Documented there's so many pregnant women that those tribes.

Speaker 2:

It's because their water is 15 to 20% less deuterium than any of the elses. So they're drinking water, super deuterium depleted and this is getting passed along. So it means that it does many things, but their mitochondria work. Which are these energy? They're not really energy producers. They actually are water producers and it's the water. Atp is not the energy currency of your body as well. Everybody who thinks that is absolutely wrong. It is the water of you that is making. It's the way the water is structured and you are. It's creating the electromagnetic charge. It's the battery source of your system.

Speaker 2:

So deuterium, and so the water you're drinking and the food you're eating in deuterium, are so heavily implicated in fertility, and it is Western science knows nothing about it. They are completely missing the boat. As soon as I can finally convince women, can you please start doing this with me? They don't want to do it, they want to do everything else. I'm like look, I'm cool with LBN, I really like it. I'm cool with this, I'm cool with that. However, let's go to this and I just do deuterium depletion through diet and water change mostly, and I take them off a lot of supplements and six months later they're pregnant. Interesting.

Speaker 1:

Is it distilled water that you use, then?

Speaker 2:

No, no Deuterium. They don't see. It's very. That is a whole conversation that is too deep to get. Okay, all right, so water is not just. Water is not H2O. You have H00, h2o, h3o. The deuterium is heavy. It's basically like throwing a. Hydrogen is a very unique. It has these three isotopes Very unique thing. But water is what makes this planet very unique. It's a very this triangle, this polar structure, but the nature of how it's shaped is what makes us, and so our body, our water and our body in the ocean are the same. You have to make the ocean inside of you to have that baby. It's kind of weird, right? We're a mammal that breathes water for 10 months. You know what I mean. Like, yeah, they have to come out and breathe air. What a bizarre process. We have finished, or what's what's really happening? That like you have to make an ocean. Why do people I mean crave Pringles, salt teens? Why would they start? It's the salt, it's the salt.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so it's trying to make it not. It's not distilling and removing, it's the adding of the salt. That, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay. So about like okay, you have to. That is too deep for us to get into.

Speaker 1:

Okay Well, that will be. That will be another, that will be another conversation off this podcast.

Speaker 2:

About three hours and I do go into it in the next course, but you could just go to YouTube. I've interviewed deuterium depletion experts. Most of this is done in Hungary and that area where they're doing most of the research in Russia, and you can buy deuterium depleted water. It's extraordinarily expensive. But where you live, you know, makes a big difference. Hot locations have lorded my water that I drink has lorded deuterium in it because I live in the snow. So people live Northern Canada. They're drinking local water has much less deuterium by each of the other side.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm going to be looking into this to be sure. But we digress it was. It was a fun digression and I'm sure people are now wrapped thinking, okay, that's just saying this the carnivore way of eating, not eating sugar.

Speaker 2:

Yes, matter, that's because it's so high in deuterium. What, like the book of Deuteronomy and the Bible, is talking about deuterium? Actually, okay, with a biochemical lens, I've had three hour conversations with biochemists on that book and when you go, they're talking about hydrogen and we can see it it's all about. So all of this stuff has actually been encoded and given to us. We were just not smart enough to understand it.

Speaker 1:

Well, or we once understood it and we outsmarted ourselves in our, in our being enamored with modern science, to forget everything that we innately know.

Speaker 2:

Yes, I agree, like and so that's part of my job. I use a lot of technology. I do, I'm trained in all this. Biohacking device and neural modulation is called integrated neural therapies. As part of my tag, I change the structure and function of brains right Permanently, but my job, all they're doing, is bringing you back to nature, bringing you back to the earth that people are because they're having to get the running. What was the word to the term you used, stick through?

Speaker 1:

it Shock. Oh, what did I say? Knock it out or not get out.

Speaker 2:

I'm obsessed with not getting everything out and hustling, right? I'll sleep when I'm dead, right? We don't go outside and just sit in the. You know. Go sit by a stream and do nothing and sit at the beach and nothing. You know a simple one they do go to the beach. They take their boomboxes or their radios and their noise. You bring the cast. Why are you bringing the cast? Is actually we're trying to have the ocean listen to that sound and be in it space and it literally entrains our brain. It slows us into 10 Hertz alpha. It completely alters our physiology, decreases inflammation. That's where you. That's why so many people, you know why do so many people get pregnant when they go on vacation? Exactly?

Speaker 1:

Well, they either get. They either get sick or they get pregnant, depending upon, depending on the state they were in just before they left for vacation. So they'll either use that time to heal by being sick or to heal by getting pregnant.

Speaker 2:

Yes, Because they're finally slowed down and relaxing. Yes, and the phone goes away. Oh, here we are. Oh, like, yes, ocean, the ocean, the beach, exactly Orgasms can we have in the orgasm, but that's a whole another conversation, because that is like that, I think, is the most potent physical healer of living.

Speaker 1:

I love that you say that and I want to have another conversation about this. I know that you're beginning to, you know, to develop a course for this, so I don't want to. I don't want to steal thunder, and unless you want to give away some, some pearls or ideas that you could sell to the women listening right now like, yes, your orgasm is imperative.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's critical and if, and to know the number that's so high that I've never had it right. Right, because you can't, can't have an orgasm unless you feel safe. Right, literally, the, the certain part, the lateral frontal orbital cortex of your brain, has to shut off. You cannot be anxious and thinking for it to even happen. So this, there's a lot that goes into it and again, it part of it, a lot of that cultural programming of we must be doing, we must be forming that's supposed to be giving during the sex. Actually your job is receive and to be pleased and to identify and through your pleasure you are actually giving the pleasure. But this is not through our culture and porn. There are some of those stuff Sometimes you watch, like which I recently.

Speaker 2:

I never have seen really much porn. I've just recently ventured because I was wanting to see what people are talking about or hub that kids could see. I did not know what. I was stunned. Wait a minute. There's no, there's no question. Like anybody can see this, like a, like a six year old, I, really you have to answer questions on products that I sell. Are you 21 years old? Exactly, it's CBD, it's heavy on me, or it's methylene blue Like. These are not. These are legal things and you have to say 21. Pornhub you just saw things and it was overwhelming. I spent about 10 minutes poring by videos, watching things. I'm like this is what people are watching, no wonder, and can't actually have pleasure because this is ridiculous. This is obviously made you know, we know what it's made for and it's causing a lot of problems and people are assuming it to it. But I think women have been deeply influenced, thinking they're supposed to be like strip club porn performers. Yeah, all the answers. So there's no pleasure in receiving in that. That's what you are doing.

Speaker 1:

You can't get out of your head in order to get into your Right.

Speaker 2:

The pee part of my course. Again, it's about I want the overthinking the this and just be present, and really that's what somebody making love to a woman is about pleasing her, Anybody who love to a woman, all they wanna do is please, Period. They don't. I mean I don't care if you're a man or a woman. If you are a love to a woman, you are trying to please her. That sole purpose in that moment that's. I think women have forgotten that. Yeah, give, give, give, give, give, sign. And I'm like mm-mm.

Speaker 1:

So women, women, women, listen, receive, receive, receive whether or not you are making love, receive, receive the morning, receive the nourishment, receive your water, which really have every act. Be a receptive act to the best of your ability, because I don't wanna turn this into another to-do list, but just practice and play with that, and because it really is playful when you think about, wow, I can receive that.

Speaker 2:

It's kind of playful, when we'll get pregnant much faster through play and pleasure Period.

Speaker 1:

So we're kind of wrapping up here. I wanna make sure that I am respectful of your time, but is there any? We went off on some fun. You know pivots and I have my work and play cut out for me. Learning more about this, you wanna?

Speaker 2:

travel if it's see it's not work. When it's fun for you. I love exploring. I'm very dopamine driven. I like more, more, more, more, more. So it's fun for me to do that. That is pleasurable. If you enjoy it, then it fills you up, it feeds you. If they when it as soon as they become. I don't enjoy doing my taxes or my bookkeeping, so I don't do that does work and I saw I pay someone else I'm sourcing. Yeah, I'm with you on that. Like this, if you enjoy going down with your cherry on rabbit hole, do it. Yeah, don't, you don't need it. Women who heard it, that were supposed to hear it, that was maybe an aha moment for them. There's maybe two or three or two thousand, I don't know. Good, they'll, that's. Take on what you wanna take on. I don't Learning everything that someone oh, that's fascinating Can't pick that up today.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, brilliant, brilliant, that's a perfect ending is to say there's there is nothing that you need to do and there's much that you can, should you choose to do, to receive your fertility. I'm gonna be putting in the link below, a link to your course. Is there anything else that you would want to make sure that they, that a listener can reach out to you, or their easiest ways to get in touch with you, or ways that you would prefer not to? If you have someone, try to get in touch with you, like, for instance, you, not Facebook message.

Speaker 2:

Well, so Instagram. So I'd love if you could follow me on social media. I get put out a lot of free content Instagram, youtube. So I'm drrimka, dr. Underscore R-I-M-K-A. I have a very rare name. I'm the only Dr Stephanie Rymka in the entire world. Rymka is a very, very rare Lithuanian name, so you'll know it's me. So social media, I think, is a wonderful place. So my website's the same name, everything like that. But I do a lot of free content there.

Speaker 2:

You'll know, about courses. I like a very, very educated consumer, whether and I'm not taking patients, I don't know what it's gonna be released. I'm full. I'm probably on a four to six month wait list minimum. We don't know when we're opening back up. I'm just overbooked. People are no lack of sick people right now. For people it's I can't. So courses yet are the best way to get into anything with me and I do there's. I have a monthly VIP membership like my platinum people. So patients come into this. So there's four zooms one zoom a week and we go over man and anything and everything peptides and fat loss, weight loss, carnivore, not carnivore, keto macro I'll pretty much talk about anything and everything. You're like I wanna know about this, okay, and we'll talk about it. It's a place, it's an incredible place, but you have to be a graduate of my course different things to even get there, because I want a certain level of mastery, so even a commitment, engage, commitment to have engaged already.

Speaker 1:

I mean you give so much valuable free content. I mean it's shocking and you engage so beautifully with the audience that I cry.

Speaker 2:

You know, I really do. I enjoy it. I enjoy I lecture, I speak, I love Q and A, I love engaging, whether I have a mic on me or not. So I like the interaction. I like those types of I like. So I do retreats as well.

Speaker 2:

I have a retreat I'm planning for women. I think it's gonna be like I don't know if it's gonna be the goddess glow up, but it's gonna include. So it's like a mini thing. We were doing it this weekend. It'll be here in Atlanta somewhere. Okay, it'll be in Metro Atlanta. That I'm excited for. So I think, if you follow me on social media, get on my email list, that'll probably be 20 women only, but it's gonna be a whole lot of like some very gentle, like kind of emotional trauma. You don't be worried about that. It's gonna be very I'm gonna the things we've talked about. There'll be exercises in practice with a group of women in a very safe sacred space, but we're gonna cap it off as something that you can use and so something that I've used through my whole life.

Speaker 2:

This is a whole another story and then we will end it, but I started modeling at like seventh grade because my self-image. My mother, I know, was trying to help me like myself more and I thought I was so ugly physically that I was consumed by. She didn't know this really, but she knew something needed to help. I was consumed by thoughts, by the time I was nine, that I should be dead because I brought so much pain to the family, because I was so ugly like physically, ugly like, oh, I was. I was like born there's a lot of trauma around all that, my birth right. So she started making me, you know, taking modeling classes and blah, blah, blah and whatever, and so we did a show together and then she'll be this fun mom and daughter thing and like I hate it, you know, and then eventually I just would get paid and I would. I'm like I don't understand why anybody does this. I think I guess I'm so skinny, you know I didn't understand any of it and no boys liked me. I wasn't popular that way. I would play football with them. You know I wasn't the one anybody wanted to kiss. I mean that didn't start happening until late kind of high school and I still thought I kind of was this ugly thing right? So through photo shoots I've done lots of photo shoots. I've been on lots of runways and I know sounds. I've been in magazines, I've done Spanish commercials and you know for stuff. But I didn't realize when I looked like and I'm considered attractive, until my son was like three years.

Speaker 2:

I did a photo shoot and it was like my style was Jessica who said are you still modeling? I'm like am I modeling, jessica? I have a bait, look at me, but like I'm old and fat and a baby in my groups. So what are you talking about? Like model? She's like well, and she's like first of all, that's stupid and you're wrong. But Jessica, you do like a hair thing for me, I'll give you free haircuts. And I'm like yeah, like I am, I'll do a hair, I'll be a hair model like ain't never right. And it was in that photo shoot that there was just this moment. And so I didn't. I hadn't modeled in a really long time and it was you know, I don't know 40 or something, 38, she'll remember the whole thing and all the other models were 18. I would really remember it because that was the only one who could drink champagne because they always no she's only more legal.

Speaker 2:

Like, are you shitting me right now? Cause I was like what, are you 18? They go. Yeah, I'm like you know cause for my 17,. I was in the runway wearing your bow and Ralph Lauren back then, right, so paid a lot of money and I still thought I was ugly. I still hate how I looked. You would think that would make somebody think you don't know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

Well, it doesn't matter, as I hear you say it. I mean, this is almost a disease for models, right, Is it? They are pitted against each other and made to feel that they are not as beautiful unless they reach that supermodel status. So it does make sense. But it also makes sense that in that play of becoming that persona walking down the runway, that you can really remember yourself, Right.

Speaker 2:

So we're bringing I'm bringing in stylist, makeup, artist, photographers. You're going to have a photo shoot, mama, and you're going to feel bigger, badder, sexier, sultry or whatever it is we need to do. That's what you're going to do. We're going to have full on. You're going to bring some of your own clothes, but we're going to have clothes too, wow. So how fun. Stretch who you are and you're going to.

Speaker 2:

I'm telling you to let other women completely take care of you. Do all the things. Just trust me, try to do it, bring her in, do it, do it, go like this, and then you have the right being and you have the right music. It's unreal. So now, when I model and do photo shoots or do anything at this age from 40 to 50 or 50, I just did what was well, we did it for me. I go this is exactly what I'm doing. So you're going to have this, you know and it's not like you're going to have photos You're going to be kissing in a weave with professional photography and a whole experience how we're going to custom craft it for you. So it's a very unique concept, but it was fun to me seeing myself in a way, and I like that's what I look like and to you yes, do that.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, I go. I'm hot. Yeah, really a moment. Oh my life, I love it. No, I do, that's what I look like, I love it. No, what people talk with. No wonder they say that to me. You know what I mean. Like fish out, like that. Yes, that's who you are actually. And so then we're going to. You know other women in community will be cheering you on and cause they're going to get it. Now we're going to help you. Some of you will need to feel like a boss, some of you will need to feel soft, some of you will need to feel sexy. We're going to push the envelope a little bit, like give you what you want plus ask you to try something on. A little bit. I like how you said stretch.

Speaker 1:

There's, you know, there's something that stretching doesn't destroy, it just makes more room.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the vagina and the uterus are doing pumpkin Bingo, nobody's business. Oh, nick, maybe not so much, but that's okay, beautiful.

Speaker 1:

Beautiful. Well, dr Rimka, thank you so very much for taking this time with us.
