We Tried Everything From Magnesium To NAD And Here Is What Actually Helped

We get real about the midlife health spiral that has us chasing better sleep, steadier weight, thicker hair, and calmer stress. We compare what we actually take, what helps, what backfires, and why blood work beats copying a random reel. 
• feeling like we are never doing “enough” for weight loss, sleep, hair loss and aging 
• greens gummies as a vegetables workaround plus the smell and texture reality 
• cortisol, fight or flight and middle-of-the-night wakeups 
• supplement timing mistakes that can wreck sleep 
• magnesium types and why we split doses 
• collagen that makes a visible difference for hair, skin and joints 
• NAD as a trend: pills versus IVs and why research matters 
• using blood work to stop guessing and prevent overdoing vitamins 
• alternatives alongside traditional medicine and why we still involve specialists 
• GLP-1 shots, stigma and the biggest change: quieting food noise 
• how sharing notes with friends makes doctor visits more productive 
Drop us a line of what you do or what are your favorite vitamins or rituals or whatever it is to keep yourself feeling youthful and healthy.

We're talking real life, real opinions, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. No filters, no perfection. Just three women with big personalities, bold stories, and a habit of saying the quiet parts out loud. So grab your drink, brace yourself, and join us because the group chat didn't just spill the tea, it went live.

Feeling Behind On Health

Adrianne 0:33

All right, ladies. Today I want to talk about, I see everyone posting, everyone's taking different things, and I just want to know that the struggle is real when it comes to weight loss, sleeping at night, not losing my hair, having wrinkles. Like I feel like I don't eat enough protein, I'm not working out enough, I'm not taking enough vitamins. Like there's a thousand things, and I save every one of them on my phone that I need to be doing.

Leanna 1:01

I agree. I feel like I'm not doing enough. However, the amount of vitamins and supplements that I take every day and the collagen, like I feel like I should be doing enough, but it's apparently not enough.

Kerri Ann 1:14

But what is your guide for enough? Like, that's what I don't understand with all of it. Like, I know my guide for enough is the fact that I've got some new hairs growing back. So I feel like the collagen and the little gummies are helping with that.

Adrianne 1:33

But like all the rest of it, is it just how we feel? But are we clarifying gummies? I feel like you'd need to clarify what kind of gummies.

Greens Gummies And Hair Growth

Adrianne 1:41

So let's clarify what kind of gummies.

Kerri Ann 1:43

Yes. G-R-U-N-S.

Adrianne 1:46

So I guess I love them. I kept seeing those online on Instagram. Like every famous person's like, oh, I take these and this is how I lost all this weight. And then you started taking them. So then I had to buy them.

Kerri Ann 1:59

Well, in my house, like I told you guys, if I open them in one room, I can hear Brian all the way on the other side of the house doing the gag reflex and asking me to just eat them fast because he thinks they smell terrible. I they don't smell lovely, but I swear by them.

Adrianne 2:19

I can't. So I've only just started those. I refuse to smell them because I didn't want to mess up my my mind about eating them. The only thing I have to say is I feel like I'm eating grass. Like, you know, when they put the what is that, you know, when you get the shot of grass at oh yeah.

Leanna 2:37

Oh, wheat, wheatgrass. Yeah.

Adrianne 2:38

Yeah, that's and there's a lot of them. There's like eight of them you have to chew. But it's not like three.

Kerri Ann 2:43

It's the daily packets. Yes.

Adrianne 2:45

And there's a lot of it.

Kerri Ann 2:46

But you gotta eat them fast. I rip the top open, I stick the top in my mouth, and I push them into my mouth, chew them and swallow them, and I'm done. But what is it supposed to do? So it's got a bunch of like like the gr all the greens and like all the stuff that I because I don't like vegetables. I don't, and my stomach doesn't handle them well. Like I'm one of those weird people that I will eat like a salad every now and then, but I don't want to eat vegetables because they make me sick. This doesn't make me sick. Yeah, it's it's I want to say it's a full food.

Adrianne 3:19

Eight or twelve servings of vegetables a day, fruits and vegetables. So what you're supposed to have in a day, you can eat this little packet. But it doesn't, if you guys want me to try it, you should not send about the grass or the smell. I should have brought one for you to sample.

Kerri Ann 3:33

I don't know. I mean, I don't think it smells bad, but also I'm married to a five-year-old when it comes to that. And any smells, he starts with the gag reflex. Like he just does not, he does not like them whatsoever. I love them, and I'm telling you, because when you go through menopause, you lose your hair. Like my ponytail growing up could only like wrap one time around my hair when I made a ponytail, like not double. And so then as I got older, the hair is like, what is happening through menopause? Yeah, like terrible. And then you start going down the rabbit hole of why am I losing my hair? Like, I also know stress is involved, cortisol, and we've talked about that one. My cortisol's through the roof all the time. So now I have to take a cortisol manager because that impacts you. I think I'm gonna try this.

Cortisol, Stress, And Sleep Stacks

Leanna 4:23

See, this is how we get stuck on stuff. But this is called a vagus nerve stimulator. Oh, yeah. That's supposed to get you out of fight or flight. And it's supposed to calm it.

Kerri Ann 4:32

Can you stick something on your neck?

Leanna 4:33

Yeah, I think so. Yeah. Don't you there's a little machine that I'm looking at getting it?

Kerri Ann 4:39

Well, if you get it, then we need to try it. Yes. And see if it works. Because I have to take cortisol blocker at night. Where do you get that? On Amazon. My doctor just said, I can get this for you, or literally go on Amazon and here's where it's at. Because cortisol is what makes you chunky, right? Because I need I also need necessarily. Cortisol is the fight or flight thing. Right. So when you're under stress, like I've had cortisol tests where you have to like spit in a little tube throughout the day, and then you send it in and it tells you your cortisol levels. And basically, my cortisol levels are through the roof all day and all night. And that's why when you add that, and then you add Hashimoto's, and then you add menopause, like there's no chance that Carrie Ann is sleeping.

Adrianne 5:24

Yeah. And cortisol, they say that's like where you end up with belly fat. Yes. Because you're storing the stress. But I will say on the cortisol, I was taking one same doctor, you know, recommend buy it on Amazon. And then I saw a different cortisol, and so I bought it. And I was having it at night where I couldn't sleep, like literally twitching and stuff. And I'm like, what is happening? Like, what have I changed? Because, you know, at night, like I'm like magnesium, and then I'm like the progesterone. Yeah. Then I added the cortisol. And so then I had to ask Chad, I was like, what is happening? Why can I not sleep now? And I put in the one that I ordered. Right. And some of the ingredients in it actually give you energy. And he was like, you need to take this one, is actually a cortisol to take during the day, not which I didn't know there was a difference.

Leanna 6:07

Yeah.

Adrianne 6:07

So I threw my whole sleep off for like a week because I was taking one that at night was trying half the stuff's trying to make me sleep, and the other half is trying to make it sleep. The one I gave you or told you to take? I don't know. I might have had a great deal with great reviews on Amazon.

Kerri Ann 6:20

And then I bought it because I had it every night. I mean, granted, I still have trouble sleeping, but I that's a little bit more. But I do take at night to sleep. So I have to take progesterone at night. And then I take the cortisol blocker. Okay. And then I take my magnesium. Same. And then milk thistle for a whole nother reason. I love it. And that's it. And and what I've found is through time, I will go to sleep because I don't have my aura ring on right now, but I've seen that I'm getting, I might not get as much sleep as I would like to get, but my sleep is better. And I'm going to sleep and I'm sleeping sounder and getting into REM sleep, and it's better. So that's a huge improvement over time.

Leanna 7:06

Yeah.

Kerri Ann 7:06

I mean, I'm still getting up, you know, but it's but I'm able to fall back asleep again. And again, my sleep is, I would love to extend my sleep, but that's helped a lot. Because I would wake up before and literally like gasp for air in the middle of the night. Like like my chest, like because I I and that was because I was getting a cortisol dump in the middle of the night. And then forget it about going back to sleep.

Leanna 7:36

Wait, and how come you two know the cortisol blocker and I don't know?

Kerri Ann 7:39

Because we were talking about we've talked to you about it too. I don't have a link to anything. Well, you I don't know. Oh, in the scheme of sending things to each other, you guys said, like, I'm always like the two dollar girl chasing after you. Where's my two dollars? Give me a break.

Too Many Supplements Problem

Adrianne 7:55

But I also wonder, like, when is two? I was at a lunch with girls and they they were talking about like when you take you can take way too many vitamins and they're counteracting each other. And now that's our nighttime routine. But like in the morning, I'm like L physicine, I think it is. I take iron, I take vitamin D. But you know what?

Kerri Ann 8:11

There's there's you can get it all in one pack. So I have vitamin D, K, and magnesium that has milk thistle in it in one pack that I take three of every day. Because I was getting to the point where if you came into my bathroom and saw all the supplements I had, I was just like exactly that.

Adrianne 8:33

I have an entire cabinet full and two, you know, granny pill boxes.

Leanna 8:36

Of my day and night. Um a. We all need D. And then I take my two, my two prescribed, but I don't take any other. Am I supposed to take magnesium in the day?

Kerri Ann 8:52

Magnesium is really good for anybody. There's glycinate, citrate, and malate. I take that in the afternoon. You have to take the different ones at different times of day. But magnesium just seems to be everybody I talk to, magnesium is something that's just for women, good for you. It's just across the board good for you.

Adrianne 9:13

Yeah, and I take one more for digestion and then one for sleep. So I have two different ones. I have to.

Kerri Ann 9:19

And that's what I the the gruns. I love the I'm telling you, I am upset. I mean, I'm gonna eat them. I'm not gonna say I love them. I know, I'm upset. But how many times a day do you do that? Just one, just one pack a day. I'm so forgotten. But it does help with the constitution that you have to do during the day. It helps with the restroom.

Leanna 9:45

Oh, okay. Yes, I don't know what that means. Isn't that what magnesium's for too?

Kerri Ann 9:51

Yes, but you know what? When you I like when you have years and years of problems, then that I mean it does. It helps like the grunts just because it's got fiber in it, which is really good for you. I just I I love them. I'm kind of addicted to them now. And now that I've seen the new hair growth between the liquid C collagen and that, like I'm I take liquid collagen every night before bed.

Leanna 10:17

Yeah. And my hair growth has been huge. Like my hair ladies are always like, What are you doing? I don't have that link for collagen. So I don't take any. They've given it to you. Are you sure? Hold on, I've given it to you and you don't like that. You're like, it tastes like you don't like it. I'll bring you a sample.

Kerri Ann 10:32

If you think I think it tastes kind of like a little cranberry juicy thing. Do you take Dr.

Leanna 10:37

Chrissy's? Yes. I do too. I think it's good. Like to me, it's like sparkling. I don't know.

Kerri Ann 10:42

Okay. If you don't like that and you think you the grunt, yeah, you you gotta try it. Okay. Yeah. But it's also good, yeah. The collagen is really good, but also there's liquid collagens, and there's there's a look all collagens are not equal. No, they are definitely not equal. Because I've tried collagens through the years, and the one that Dr. Christie has is honestly the best.

Collagen Quality And Skin Wins

Kerri Ann 11:07

I see a difference in my skin because unfortunately, I've got we know my sad knees. My sad knees are a little better even with that. They're still sad, they're just not as accentuating

NAD Pills Versus IVs

Kerri Ann 11:20

sad.

Adrianne 11:20

Yeah. And now what about all the trend now with I keep seeing it online and people doing the NAD? I do NAD too.

Kerri Ann 11:28

So I how do you get NAD? I just bought the NAD pills online. No, I do it in an IV. I was doing it once a month. And I will tell you that you have to research NAD and see the benefits of it. When I get the NAD in my IV, and I have because of my heart issues, and you know, I am always struggling to stay hydrated, even though I drink water all day long and electrolytes. The NAD goes to where you need it the most. And I think you really see it when you get an IV. And it's kind of interesting because when I get the IV, Jody and I are kind of like waiting. As soon as she puts the NAD in, I start to get like my face gets hot, my chest, my heart rate goes up, and I sometimes will start sneezing like crazy. And a lot of it is because I know that my heart rate is going up because the NAD is going to where I need it to fix.

Adrianne 12:26

That sounds scary to me. So it does sound scary because I mean I was gonna buy it from a guy who has a needle, you know, that doesn't shot.

Kerri Ann 12:33

But the I'm not sure. But I've I just do a low dose because she's she'll tell you, you know, through, you know, the IV that there's a there's a maximum and a minimum. And there are people that will push the maximum for healing. Because you can use NAD for like all sorts of different things that are going on. I know that like whenever I have it, it clears up my head because with all the allergies and everything that's going on. NAD is something that I really think that everybody needs to research and look up.

Adrianne 13:06

Because they're saying people are showing like it's changing their skin, it's removing wrinkles, like they're not doing Botox or any it's the NAD is re-healing.

Kerri Ann 13:15

It really goes to where you need it the most. And all NADs are not made into my face.

Leanna 13:21

Like I don't go to like my elbow. I'm like, my elbow is because your elbow needs.

Kerri Ann 13:25

I know, but no, but that's where you have to really, that's why I love Jody and the IVs that they because they're because I'm I asked Jody a while back, will you look into NAD? Because she wasn't doing it for her company. I talked to her about it, yes, and I said, Will you look into it? And she's like, I'm not doing anything until I do a deep dive in my research. And her nursey brain kicked in and she did a ton of research on it. And then she's like, Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna do it on me and do the little research, but and now she's doing it like crazy, and it and people are asking for it. But she did her research before she's brought the protocol because not uh not everybody can withstand a certain level of NAD through an IV, and and some have to build up. Yeah.

Leanna 14:09

And I guess we should say, and I think we probably should have said this on our menopause one, that this is just what we do, nor do we recommend anything. We're not doctors. If anyone's considering this, they should probably talk to some professional.

Kerri Ann 14:22

But we have, I mean, we've gone to hormone specialists, we've gone to primary care physicians. Absolutely. We've gone to, like, I go to a thyroid specialist, I go to cardiologist, I, you know, I mean, Jody is a nurse and owns an IV company, and she does her research, and you know, like, so there's I don't think that we're unlike many, many people, even men included, because I know men in our age group, they are looking to feel better and they don't want to do more medications. So everybody's looking at alternatives to what does that look like for health and wellness. Yeah.

Adrianne 14:58

Well, that's interesting because I've noticed more NAD online, even pill form. Like I said, I've been taking the pill form, but I haven't noticed. But more people are doing it more as the peptides or in an IV. That so I feel like that is different than if you're buying it like a vitamin.

Kerri Ann 15:13

Yes. It's just not all created equal, just like we said about collagen. Yeah. I mean, there's just a lot.

Adrianne 15:20

It yeah. I feel like I just need a monthly budget just to handle all of the upkeep and maintenance I need to try to keep myself. Tell me about it.

Kerri Ann 15:29

But there's a lot of things like we do blood work and it's nice because like with Brian, Brian started like he was never about vitamins or anything like that. And he started with vitamins and started doing some different things and had his blood work done. The doctors were talking to him about potentially needing to add a medication here or there. We're like, no, let's just wait and see how this rolls out. And like, I think it was three, four months later, the doctor he showed me in the portal. The doctor's like, I don't know what you're doing, but keep it up. Nice. And then told him specifically the numbers that she was seeing that got better. So then he was able to dial in the different supplements that he was taking to be able to continue on that good path. Yeah. So I do think that blood work is important for you to be able to see because I know I was I was vitamin B12 myself to death, thinking that was a really good thing to do years and years ago. And the doctor was like, You need to back off from the B12 because your blood work is showing it's way, way high.

Blood Work Over Guesswork

Voice Over 16:32

Gotcha.

Kerri Ann 16:32

So I do think that that's gotta be a part of it, but it's also how you feel too.

Adrianne 16:37

Yeah, I agree with the blood work because I like that the iron and the D and all of that. I'll be like, oh, I'm fine. And then I will stop taking something, and then the moment I do blood work, the doctor's like, you stop taking. I'm like, dang, yes, I did. I've been lazy and I just didn't order.

Kerri Ann 16:50

And a lot of it is just alternative look at an alternative of things, being educated about them, and I think drowning out some of the noise of what other people say. Because we live in a society where pharmaceuticals are multi-billion dollar industry, and when you need it, you need it, but we don't always need it. And when you look into other countries, and especially being in the senior industry, and my seniors are probably the most over-medicated population, and it's really sad. So they are even looking at alternatives, but when you look out of the United States, you see a lot of countries really resolving a lot of health issues by not using pharmaceutical medications. Yeah. And by getting their getting that information out to the population of alternatives, but that's just not the norm here in the United States. And that's it's challenging for people to be able to feel better without choking down a whole bunch of medications. Yeah. I mean, my cardiologist is insisting that I take a statin and I refuse. So I am choking down as much really good fish oil as I can get because that is an alternative. Yeah. And I want to see over time, does that help me oppose to the statins? And I'm not saying that people, again, this is carry in. This is not me telling people if your cardiologist does to be on a statin, don't do it. Yeah. That's just my personal opinion about it. But there are all alternatives that you can take.

Leanna 18:36

Yeah. I get that. I'm obviously behind on the the info.

Kerri Ann 18:42

You guys have it more figured out than I do, but so are we gonna go to the the taboo

GLP-1 Shots And Food Noise

Kerri Ann 18:48

thing? Because I'll talk about it. I'll talk about it.

Adrianne 18:52

What's the taboo?

Kerri Ann 18:53

The shot. Oh, yeah. I will talk about it. I want to talk about it only because this is a big thing for people. And I have my entire life struggled with my weight because when I was younger, I was considered a big girl because of how tall I was, which the girls nowadays just make me look like a midget. But when I was growing up, I I look back and I don't re I don't I was thinking to myself, I was nuts because I wasn't as big as I thought. But anyway, going through life and kids and all those other kind of things, I would love to say that weight was the biggest issue, but it really wasn't, it was in my head. Yeah. The food noise that was in my head uh constantly, like I didn't realize that everybody doesn't think about everything they eat all the time, like constantly. And yes, as you get older and go through menopause, things happen. And once I went through blood work and once I started talking to a specialist about hormones and all those things, and just the fact that you know I could not get weight off no matter what I did. And also the potential obsession on that when you can't, it just grows and it is it's maddening. It really is, it's very sad. And I think that it it's not just a woman thing, I think that it's some people thing where you just you can't shut down the food noise, and I think it works against you. So I did I did the shots and it helped in a whole bunch of ways, not just in the weight loss, and it was a very secret thing. It was very secret because everybody has their opinions about it, and I did a deep dive research into it and saw that there are a lot more benefits, and I don't know, people might say, you know, like because I've heard people say, well, you're taking it from diabetics and you have all these. Okay, I'm just gonna, whatever that may be, for my carriage's health and well-being, yes, through the hormones with my Hashimoto's, like there's so many challenges that it just was challenging. So I did, and I will tell you that it did help me lose the weight, and I have been off and on it, and probably off more in the last year than on, and I have not gained the weight back. Yeah, and I will tell you that the food noise is gone. Yeah, and that was so incredibly different for me to not live in a world where I was obsessed with food and what I ate, what I didn't eat, what I wanted to eat. Did I eat too much? Oh my god, like all of it. To have that quiet. What that did was help me renegotiate just eating in general. And just being able to hear I'm full, like my body saying I'm full. Yeah. Quieting all that allowed me to live in that space. And it changed so much for me.

Adrianne 22:19

I think it's helped a lot of people. I think in the beginning, people people were judging it, having a bunch of issues. I feel like it's been around for so many several years now. Yes. That the stigma of that is different.

Kerri Ann 22:31

Oh, I still think there are people that that have very, very strong opinions. And you know what? If people see me and see, I mean, people have you can look on my Facebook page and see all variations of Carrie Ann. It's not like I'm hiding it. It's not like I'm hiding it. You know, you see all variations. And, you know, I just think that there is a lot out there for people. And everybody's biology is different. Their backgrounds, their history, you know, coming from a space of going through an eating disorder as a younger woman because of all of that, I had to really make some decisions in my life about, you know, when you go through that, it's almost life and death decisions about food and about weight, yeah, and about emotions and about all of the things that come along with that. So yeah, there was a bunch of things that impacted my health that I have to deal with now, and vitamin deficiencies and all that. But I will say that, you know, just making the decision to with a medical professional, overseeing and watching my blood work and going through it and not doing it crazy and slowly gave me my sanity back with food and life and my weight. It's and it's really been something over the last couple years that I'm very thankful for it. And, you know, people are like, Oh, you go off and you're gonna balloon up again, you know, whatever. I it gave me the space to take control back of my life, to hear again myself say, I'm full. Thank you. Or look at my husband and be like, please can we share? Because I really am done taking leftovers. Like it just renegotiated a lot. And it just it helped a lot.

Adrianne 24:28

Yeah. I think it's helped a lot of people. And I think the research is there's a lot that it's helped for inflammation, Hashimoto's. Like there's things in it now that like people some people go on and off, but some people will be on it for life because it does help with those technologies.

Kerri Ann 24:41

And they are even talking about that it might have an impact cognitively with the ability set of, and again, this is Carrie Ann, please. I am not a doctor, but you know, uh sugar, diabetes, all of that that runs through your brain can cause some issues later in life. And when when you are in a space of having control over food instead of food having a control over you, like sugar does not mean what it used to mean to me anymore. Yeah. It doesn't mean I don't indulge every now and then, but it's just it's changed things for me. And I'm not ashamed to say that it has changed things for me. And the biggest part is less of the the weight and more of the boy, it just quieted those voices and gave me space to just really, really determine what my health and wellness was going to look like for me. And I could not get control of that for many years of my life.

Adrianne 25:51

I mean, I think it's cool that with technology and medicines that it can help. I mean, you think like one of the number one killers is obesity. Yes. And we're okay to just keep giving insulin, but we're not okay to let someone take a GLP one and lose the weight or calm the mind or help them with that addiction, what you know, and and be able to have a better life. I feel like that's the part where people I don't know why someone wants to judge someone to choose something that makes them feel better. Like it's for me, I just think it's so weird for people to judge it because if it makes you feel better and you feel healthier and makes you look good and you see yourself looking good. You always have looked good for us. So yes. But you know what I mean? And that calms the mind. Like it makes a big difference. Like it makes a big difference when you feel better. And that's part of your own mental health to do that. And yeah, I really don't care what anybody says. Like I'm just going with whatever makes me feel good and I like, then I just go the older I get, I really don't care. Like if you don't want to take something, then don't take it.

Kerri Ann 26:49

But well, and you just never knows what never knows. You just never know what goes on behind closed doors for people and what they are struggling with and what they're challenged with. And that's another reason why the grunts was so important because on a GLP, you it messes with your tummy. Yeah. And it wasn't as bad for me as I've heard from other people, but you know, I was getting the nutrients from the grunts, and then it was helping with the constitution, as I should say. And then, you know, there's all these other things, but yeah, you just start to add in the things that maybe you're missing. But yeah, so there. Everyone in that listens knows now, and I'm okay with that because again, like I said, that's not just about losing weight, it's not just about taking vitamins for a specific reason, it's just overall health and wellness and what works for you and how do you feel? And being the best version

How Friends Change Doctor Visits

Kerri Ann 27:45

of ourselves.

Adrianne 27:45

Absolutely. And I'm pretty sure the majority of our listeners are all either on it, have tried it, or want to try it. So yes, but I shall say it out loud.

Kerri Ann 27:55

I said it there. It's okay. So yeah. So again, like Kleanna said, I mean, we're just having these conversations and we're not doctors.

Adrianne 28:06

You know, we've consulted doctors, we've consulted specialists, us individually, but but I think it makes a difference, like we share with each other, you know, because you'll say you did something, or you'll say, and then I'll go to my doctor, I'll be like, okay, well, you know, such and such was in, and she's on this, or she did this, or you gave them this. And I feel like when I walk in to talk to a doctor, I'm more educated on like, okay, if this is working for them, why can this work for me? Or and that makes a difference than, you know, people who don't have the friends to pow wow and you don't know what you don't know. Yeah. And then you're just walking in blindly, whatever the doctor.

Kerri Ann 28:40

Well, I can say many, many years ago, I literally thought I was insane because I would go to a doctor and be like, I don't feel good. And they're like, but you're fine. And I'm your blood works fine. Like it can't be. I'm not a crazy person. Like, what is happening here? Yeah. But then as you start to like talk to your friends about it and they're like, oh, well, maybe this and maybe this. And yes, you go much more educated to the doctors about, well, tell me about that, because I heard about that. Oh, well, you may benefit from that. And they would have never said that to you unless you brought it up first. Yeah. Nothing against doctors. It's just you only have a certain amount of time with them. Yeah.

Adrianne 29:16

No, I feel like our hormones health, everything has come from the three of us going into our doctor. They're probably like, oh my God, these two need to stop talking to each other. I know, I do.

Leanna 29:25

I go straight to him. I'm like, um, Adrienne's on this, and she said it's working. So can I get that too? And he's like, for real? Like, is that what we're doing?

unknown 29:32

Yeah.

Leanna 29:32

My friends do this, and I saw this on Instagram, and I I saw a reel, and he's like, Okay. Yeah. That's not how this really goes. But we're going to do that.

Adrianne 29:39

This is how it works now.

Leanna 29:40

Yeah. Yes.

Adrianne 29:41

We educate.
