Big Pharma Wins When You Skip the Kitchen (Full)

Alex: 00:00:00

In this wrap-up episode of the health series, Jerremy and Dave admit

Alex: 00:00:03

they walked in blaming Big Pharma, Big Food, and insurance… and walked

Alex: 00:00:09

out realizing the system mostly gives America exactly what it keeps demanding:

Alex: 00:00:13

CHEAP calories and quick fixes.

Alex: 00:00:16

They dig into the raw numbers on what real food actually costs, why nobody

Alex: 00:00:21

ever taught us to cook, and how one mom’s switch to whole foods saved her

Alex: 00:00:24

family six figures in medical bills.

Alex: 00:00:27

[leaning in] Welcome to Solving America’s Problems.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:31

Ladies and gentlemen, we are back.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:34

I have learned that people love this portion of solving America's problems.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:40

This portion, specifically being, what did we learn?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:43

'cause Dave, that's what we're doing, man, over the next few years, we are

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:48

out there to really learn, understand, tweak, adjust, implement, find out what's

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:54

working, and find out what's not working.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:58

It's a long list.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:00:59

Have conversations with professionals, really speak to individuals and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:03

just really uncover some truth.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:05

And for you and I learn, and for our listeners learn, it's more about.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:11

Knowing how to uncover and knowing how to dig deep.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:15

And I think we did a great job of that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:17

This is really the making America healthy again.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:20

What did we learn?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:21

And it's gonna be an awesome summary and I'm really pumped for it, Dave.

Dave Conley: 00:01:24

Yeah, four great episodes across, how many?

Dave Conley: 00:01:29

Almost 10 episodes, right?

Dave Conley: 00:01:30

Maybe a little bit more.

Dave Conley: 00:01:31

10 episodes just great people.

Dave Conley: 00:01:33

We had Dr. Holden, Dr. Dill.

Dave Conley: 00:01:36

We had Nick and his beautiful wife, Rihanna on a separate episode.

Dave Conley: 00:01:40

And then Zen.

Dave Conley: 00:01:43

Oh my goodness.

Dave Conley: 00:01:43

What I know I started one way in this and I ended up in a different place.

Dave Conley: 00:01:47

And I think that's the definition of learning, isn't it?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:49

Yeah, I think so.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:51

Going with a belief for mindset, getting some things shifted,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:54

getting some tweaks, adjustments.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:01:57

new understandings.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:00

One of the big ones, I think, and again, I'm very excited to go back

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:03

through so many of our episodes as we continue to adapt and to grow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:08

But one of the ones that does stand out to me in a big way was the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:13

distinctions in the difference probably between the holistic healing, which

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:19

I would define probably as food and going that route versus what a lot of

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:25

individuals, especially front runners like Mary Williamson for presidency,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:31

they're stating it's big pharma.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:33

It's only big pharma.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:34

They're doing it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:35

Take 'em down.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:35

They're making us sick.

Dave Conley: 00:02:36

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:37

then we blended a lot of the healthcare and the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:39

insurance aspect as well together.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:42

But for me, building a bridge between both of those and realizing for you and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:48

I to truly solve a lot of these problems.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:52

And do it from a campaign advocacy approach as well.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:02:56

Doing this from a, what I'm going to be doing as president, it seems extremely

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:01

clear to me that without question, helping understand change, shift and adapt

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:08

different food ideologies, different food beliefs, and different adaptations of

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:15

food, like how we can eat, where we're eating, how we're eating, how much we're

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:18

eating, when we're eating, these things can be very quickly implemented for

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:23

the most part, without even trying to attack the quote unquote huge behemoth

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:29

of a problem that a lot of people feel would never, ever truly change.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:33

The big pharma, the big sick care system as it was called, and rather than

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:39

attacking that saying, okay, listen.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:42

How about we educate and inform and update, and we all tweak and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:47

adjust our habits, our eating practices, what we know to be true,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:51

and start focusing on a lot of that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:53

That was really a big summation for me from bringing all these together,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:03:58

making me feel like there's actually a better solution there than feeling

Jerremy Newsome: 00:04:02

hopeless and feeling worried and feeling like we never have a shot.

Dave Conley: 00:04:06

It a hundred percent.

Dave Conley: 00:04:07

I think you're right on with that.

Dave Conley: 00:04:08

I came in this thinking big bad insurance or big pharma or big food,

Dave Conley: 00:04:14

like they're the ones keeping us sick.

Dave Conley: 00:04:16

They're the ones keeping us down.

Dave Conley: 00:04:17

And

Dave Conley: 00:04:18

what I know now is that we are getting exactly what we want.

Dave Conley: 00:04:25

We want cheap food.

Dave Conley: 00:04:26

So it's going to be GMO, it's going to be full of pesticides because

Dave Conley: 00:04:31

that's how you get cheap food.

Dave Conley: 00:04:32

Want.

Dave Conley: 00:04:34

Healthcare that, basically doesn't work in a lot of ways, and it

Dave Conley: 00:04:38

has a lot of perverse incentives because we want it that way.

Dave Conley: 00:04:41

we need it to be in a way that is incomprehensible and you don't know

Dave Conley: 00:04:47

what to do and you don't know because you're not spending any time on it.

Dave Conley: 00:04:50

What I know for sure is that our food and our insurance and our healthcare, they're

Dave Conley: 00:04:56

all tied together, and if we solve for one, the other ones are gonna follow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:02

Yep.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:02

Precisely.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:03

And I think that was really addressed in all the conversations.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:06

And yes, of course there's very minute and very individual policies

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:11

and practices that we can change and should change and would like to change.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:14

It will make things better, easier, faster, quicker, more efficient.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:18

But get down to the brass tacks, you've mentioned it a couple times

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:23

and we've talked about throughout the episode, throughout the podcast.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:26

The price of things, you're gonna get what you pay for.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:30

And a lot of Americans both want and need really inexpensive.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:34

So they might therefore just be receiving just that if you do not pay

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:38

a lot of money for food, it's probably not gonna be extremely good for you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:41

And knowing that not only is that gonna be what's more available, more abundant

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:47

is the cheaper, more processed, more GMO food because the companies wanna make

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:54

money and we're in a capitalist society and we're not gonna take it away from

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:57

them having the opportunity to make money.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:05:59

ultimately, we as consumers are deciding what we eat and what we don't eat.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:06:04

And we're also gonna decide how much money they make and don't make.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:06:07

If we spend a lot less with them as consumers and start focusing more on

Jerremy Newsome: 00:06:12

the organic and the individual, and the farmers and the local, we can help

Jerremy Newsome: 00:06:16

increase the awareness and decrease the cost through more supply and more demand.

Dave Conley: 00:06:22

So let, I wanna really explore that cost side with you and

Dave Conley: 00:06:26

so that I understand it, which is

Dave Conley: 00:06:29

when I hear organic, I hear expensive.

Dave Conley: 00:06:32

And what I'm also hearing is you're either paying for it now or later.

Dave Conley: 00:06:37

And then I did the math on my breakfast.

Dave Conley: 00:06:40

I have this most mornings.

Dave Conley: 00:06:41

I have some rolled oats.

Dave Conley: 00:06:43

I have it with some almond milk and I throw in some chia seeds and a little

Dave Conley: 00:06:49

bit of honey and I let it go overnight.

Dave Conley: 00:06:51

These overnight oats, and I'm obsessed with them.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:06:54

So good.

Dave Conley: 00:06:56

I didn't know anything actually.

Dave Conley: 00:06:58

I was this year old.

Dave Conley: 00:07:00

when I found out about these things, like the whole world of overnight

Dave Conley: 00:07:03

oats completely miss my radar.

Dave Conley: 00:07:06

But now I'm making up for 50 years of not knowing about it.

Dave Conley: 00:07:09

'cause I'm having it just about every day now.

Dave Conley: 00:07:11

it's incredibly filling.

Dave Conley: 00:07:13

And I did all the math on it and every single one of my breakfasts, and I

Dave Conley: 00:07:19

throw some blueberries on top of it costs me exactly $4 and 30 cents.

Dave Conley: 00:07:23

Now most of that is that organic almond milk that I use, and it

Dave Conley: 00:07:28

just occurred to me if you just use whole milk on it, you could probably

Dave Conley: 00:07:30

get this down to $2 and 50 cents.

Dave Conley: 00:07:32

there's a certain aspect of this of wondering what you're paying

Dave Conley: 00:07:37

for and where you're paying for it.

Dave Conley: 00:07:38

And I think it was Zen who said that, she ended up saving like a hundred

Dave Conley: 00:07:42

thousand dollars in medical bills because her son started eating whole food.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:07:47

Which is wild to think about.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:07:48

The truth is to me, if we spend more.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:07:53

On food.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:07:54

As a nation, this is gonna be a crazy concept, but if you spend

Jerremy Newsome: 00:07:58

more on food and the food is higher quality, you actually eat less.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:03

And if you eat less, you will be healthier.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:07

Now, this doesn't mean like you don't eat at all.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:08

This just simply means eating less.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:11

Instead of four to five meals a day, snacking, eating three to 4,000

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:17

calories, which I looked it up in a random study on Twitter the other day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:21

I think the average American eats 3,400 calories a day.

Dave Conley: 00:08:26

Wow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:26

So eats and drinks like consumes three, 400 calories a day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:29

And so that's why if you always look at the back of a box, whatever,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:32

they always kinda give their ingredients and they're like, this

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:34

is based on a 3000 calorie, diet.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:38

3000 calories a lot.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:42

If I'm doing legitimate, actual, full on training for a competition, I'm

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:50

eating 35 to 4,000 calories a day.

Dave Conley: 00:08:53

And, yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:55

and so that means like I'm gonna be doing

Jerremy Newsome: 00:08:57

some type of very long distance.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:00

Now, if I'm trying for speed, strength, size and getting really

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:05

beefy and meaty, then I might need to do 4,500 or 5,000 calories.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:09

It's like that day, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:11

That's a lot.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:12

But for me, most individuals are eating that and they're

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:17

not running 45 miles that week.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:21

That's a huge difference because it is science in science out math in

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:24

math, out calories in, calories out.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:26

If you eat less than you burn, you lose weight.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:30

End of story.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:30

Thanks for playing.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:32

And you have a personal story of this too Dave?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:09:34

Tell the world.

Dave Conley: 00:09:36

Wow.

Dave Conley: 00:09:37

I think I just turned 40 years old and I was in a job that I hated as a senior

Dave Conley: 00:09:44

executive, I smoked a pack of cigarettes a day, and I weighed 330 pounds.

Dave Conley: 00:09:51

And it's not like I didn't have the education.

Dave Conley: 00:09:53

It's not like I didn't know what I was doing.

Dave Conley: 00:09:56

It had been like a lifelong thing.

Dave Conley: 00:09:59

I had always been I had always been heavy and, a lot of it was psychological.

Dave Conley: 00:10:03

And at some point in my life, I just gave up saying I'm just going to always

Dave Conley: 00:10:07

be this way and this is who I am.

Dave Conley: 00:10:10

At that same time my wife of 13 years unexpectedly got ill, and a few days

Dave Conley: 00:10:17

later she passed away out of the blue.

Dave Conley: 00:10:20

She was fine one day and then she was gone.

Dave Conley: 00:10:24

And I don't wish that kind of pain on anybody.

Dave Conley: 00:10:28

And I would never say that was my moment that, that was the

Dave Conley: 00:10:33

big change because it wasn't.

Dave Conley: 00:10:36

But what I realized then at that moment, and what started this

Dave Conley: 00:10:41

journey of losing 150 pounds, like an entire human, was learning to love

Dave Conley: 00:10:47

myself as much as Carol loved me.

Dave Conley: 00:10:50

and it was small choices.

Dave Conley: 00:10:52

I think it was Sean that said Dr. Dill, Dr. Sean Dill, he said,

Dave Conley: 00:10:57

sunlight and exercise and water.

Dave Conley: 00:11:01

These are the basic things of life and they're free.

Dave Conley: 00:11:04

And it was just that it was a little bit of water every day and

Dave Conley: 00:11:09

making sure that's what I was doing.

Dave Conley: 00:11:10

And it was a little bit of movement, making sure I was moving and the

Dave Conley: 00:11:14

eating better was coming along.

Dave Conley: 00:11:17

And it was the small changes that made a big difference.

Dave Conley: 00:11:19

And over the course of four years, I lost 150 pounds.

Dave Conley: 00:11:24

And that was with the benefit of knowing all of these things, right?

Dave Conley: 00:11:28

I think a lot of people are trapped in these, they're on their treadmills, right?

Dave Conley: 00:11:33

A hundred percent of their time is already taken up and they

Dave Conley: 00:11:36

have their kids to worry about.

Dave Conley: 00:11:37

They have their job to worry about, or they don't have a job

Dave Conley: 00:11:39

and they're worried about that.

Dave Conley: 00:11:40

Or, like they have a million different things and they just need a little bit

Dave Conley: 00:11:43

of time to themselves to like decompress.

Dave Conley: 00:11:45

And so it's not about not knowing it is making simple, small changes every

Dave Conley: 00:11:52

day, taking personal responsibility in it, that changes the whole system.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:11:58

Small steps.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:11:59

You have to, in order to do a marathon, you have to take a lot of steps and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:03

there is no other formula for it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:05

There's a lot of steps to be taken and they can be big steps,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:08

they could be small steps.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:09

You gotta take a lot of steps, but if you keep doing enough steps,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:13

there is a finish line at the end.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:15

And for you, man, I just wanna say congrats on that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:18

But you brought up a great point that we did talk about in this series and right

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:22

in this kind of like recap as we talked about, like Sean brought up the six

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:26

best doctors being sleep, water, breath, sunshine, good food, meditation, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:39

or meditation slash nature.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:42

Doing things that probably ultimately do not cost that much money.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:46

if any money, but ultimately can revitalize your life and change so much

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:50

and create such a big impact for you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:52

What I heard also is the big shift is just drinking more water.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:56

lot of times as Americans, we feel tired 'cause man, dude,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:12:59

freaking life is hard, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:01

You have so much weight and pressure and the cost of living

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:04

is skyrocketing everywhere in the United States of America.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:07

And we all feel that pressure.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:09

Every one of us does.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:11

However, when we gotta keep going and we get energetically

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:15

drained and we get tired.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:17

And so what do we do?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:18

We slam our face with a bunch of energy drinks and caffeine and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:23

coffee over and over and over.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:24

And while that can work, absolutely.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:27

And there's even better medical grade available, caffeine and other

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:32

supplements that work even more efficiently than a Monster energy

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:36

drink or a Celsius energy drink.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:38

There are healthier alternatives out there.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:41

If you start drinking a bunch of water, you know what happens?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:45

You don't get as tired.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:47

It's wild.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:47

If you drink a bunch of water and you eat a bunch of apples, you don't get tired.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:54

You have more energy.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:55

And yeah, you're peeing a lot.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:13:57

You are, that's gonna happen.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:00

But you gotta piece so much you're always moving and your energy's gonna be up,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:05

and so you, you just have more energy.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:07

And so the tweaks, the simplicity.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:09

The thing that I'm so excited about ultimately, and I hope all of our

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:12

listeners hear this, my really incredible big vision and dream is to simply be

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:18

a president that pours in light, love, happiness, and positivity into the world.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:23

Imagine if there was a voice for the people, of the people that was the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:27

people, and was able to come on every single day and instead of battling China.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:33

Or discussing immigrants or talking about all the negative in the world.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:38

If we just had someone who is championing the vision of the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:41

people saying, Hey everyone, today's gonna be an incredible day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:45

I'm excited for you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:46

I'm excited about your work.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:47

I'm excited about your job.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:49

I'm excited about your family.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:50

I hope you have the most incredible day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:52

Smile and go.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:53

Make an incredible impact.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:55

Imagine if we had someone every day that just poured into the people of this

Jerremy Newsome: 00:14:59

country, using to your point, positivity.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:01

And secondly, easy small steps of change.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:06

The change does not have to be radical.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:08

You move more and drink more water.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:10

Boom, life started changing.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:12

You gave up cigarettes.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:13

Bang, life started changing.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:15

Now you give up cigarettes, you breathe better, you move better, you

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:20

smell better, like your nose smells better and you physically as a person

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:23

smell better, but you also fun.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:26

Fact, spend less money.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:28

You do, you spend less money 'cause you no longer are smoking cigarettes

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:32

and cigarettes are There's like a legitimate cost to them and your cost

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:37

of living goes up across the board because of rental cars and hotels.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:41

If you ever traveling and you smoke, now it's a whole process because

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:45

you have to pay different deposits, healthcare increases if you use tobacco.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:49

There's so many random costs to those lifestyles.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:52

But the lifestyle that you mentioned, Dave is the majority of people, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:15:56

There's more than of this country that's gonna face that exact challenge of the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:16:03

obesity of, you mentioned the hamster wheel, the treadmill of life, where

Jerremy Newsome: 00:16:08

there's just no singular individual that's really pouring in grace and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:16:12

care and attention and wisdom and words of affirmation and positivity,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:16:16

and I can't wait to be that person.

Dave Conley: 00:16:18

one thing that I don't know if is talked about is the

Dave Conley: 00:16:21

amount of prejudice that people get when they're really heavy.

Dave Conley: 00:16:25

Like you sense it all the time.

Dave Conley: 00:16:26

the world is not built for you.

Dave Conley: 00:16:28

The chairs aren't built.

Dave Conley: 00:16:30

The planes aren't built the cars, like nothing works.

Dave Conley: 00:16:32

And I had risen to a very high level in my field and I had to be exceptionally

Dave Conley: 00:16:38

good at it because fortunately I was mostly in, merit It was that much harder

Dave Conley: 00:16:43

as somebody who was an overweight smoker.

Dave Conley: 00:16:46

when somebody is overweight and they're a smoker, they're like, oh if they're not

Dave Conley: 00:16:49

taking care of themselves, how could they possibly be taking care of my company?

Dave Conley: 00:16:53

there is so much broken when you're so overweight and knowing that it is

Dave Conley: 00:16:56

actually just a slow suicide is one of those things that needs to be brought up.

Dave Conley: 00:17:02

you are overweight and it is only you putting the food in your mouth.

Dave Conley: 00:17:08

You are the one that's in control.

Dave Conley: 00:17:10

oh, also would we say that this week's solving America's

Dave Conley: 00:17:13

problems brought to you by water.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:16

brought to you by Dave used to be fat and he drink more water and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:21

move more, and now he's in great shape.

Dave Conley: 00:17:23

Hey, let me ask you a question though.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:24

Yeah.

Dave Conley: 00:17:25

Is it, the world here is education.

Dave Conley: 00:17:27

Education and there is a lot of responsibility that was built into this.

Dave Conley: 00:17:31

Were you ever taught to cook?

Dave Conley: 00:17:34

Were you taught to eat well?

Dave Conley: 00:17:36

was there ever a high school class of, what is it called?

Dave Conley: 00:17:39

Home Act, was there like, if we're not teaching people how to eat or what

Dave Conley: 00:17:44

to eat, or if we give them like food pyramids and say, Hey, have all the corn.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:49

to talk about that good old food pyramid, like that was, that's

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:53

still in my mind I'll tell you the moment that my food practices started shifting

Jerremy Newsome: 00:17:58

dramatically, but more importantly than that, to answer your question, I did have

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:02

one class and I believe it was called.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:05

LMS life management skills.

Dave Conley: 00:18:08

okay.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:09

Best part, it was one semester, so this was in high school.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:13

And so when I say like a semester's at that time it was an elective.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:17

so you get to choose an elective twice a year and it's six months long or

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:20

whatever it was, four or five months long.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:22

And you had two electives a year that you shifted out of.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:24

So I went to LMS first time I ever saw anyone else have a condom the teacher

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:29

told us how to put a condom on a banana.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:30

And then there was other things I learned.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:32

We learned about goal settings and writing down goals, and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:35

Learn about cooking.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:37

But to your point, it was very basic, extremely rigid.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:42

There wasn't a lot in that particular class, they still were putting

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:46

together this overall agenda of here's what you need to do in life.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:51

Go get a job, go get to college.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:53

Here's how you achieve in college and here's how you get into college.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:18:57

That was probably 85% of the program

Dave Conley: 00:19:00

Wow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:01

was just really understanding and adapting.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:02

And again, granted I'm, I'm ancient as well.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:05

Me and you were both ancient, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:07

You are higher in the sedimentary, you're whatever.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:11

We're both ancient.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:12

So we're talking 20 years ago that I'm in high school and I'm sure it's different.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:16

Hashtag it's not, I have someone in high school now, my kid, and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:19

it's the same exact thing, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:20

Gabriel's going through the exact same stuff it's all about just how to get

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:24

into college and how to prepare for college and how to beat the college

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:26

system, how to get the SATs and so they can get a good job and whatever.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:30

in an LMS class, I did a personality assessment.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:34

And so you do the personality assessment and then the teacher,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:37

this was like a three week process.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:38

You do this big test and then at the end you get the results back.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:42

And then in the test it teaches you what your best job and

Dave Conley: 00:19:45

Alexa, stop thermostat.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:46

then they give you a path of,

Dave Conley: 00:19:48

Alexa, turn off thermostat.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:50

Sorry, go ahead.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:51

So you go through this life assessment, like who you are, personality assessment.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:19:56

These jobs are gonna be based on, your personality and here's

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:02

what you should do as a job.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:03

Here's what you should do as a career.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:04

Here's the best school path in order to get there.

Dave Conley: 00:20:08

oof.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:08

I'm gonna give you two guesses.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:10

What do you think my, like pers per my personality, what job should I be

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:16

Off the cuff?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:16

So I'm just excited to see what you say.

Dave Conley: 00:20:18

oh.

Dave Conley: 00:20:19

I, preacher,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:20

Ooh,

Dave Conley: 00:20:22

I would say I don't know.

Dave Conley: 00:20:24

If you were taking that in that era, I would say like I would've

Dave Conley: 00:20:27

slotted you in sales in business, in that world, you're very social

Dave Conley: 00:20:32

and you like talking with people.

Dave Conley: 00:20:33

it's like you would kill it in sales.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:36

Yep.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:36

That was exactly it.

Dave Conley: 00:20:37

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:38

literally did my high school personality assessment for me.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:40

So the very number one career choice was life insurance salesman.

Dave Conley: 00:20:45

Wow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:46

and number two was salesman.

Dave Conley: 00:20:48

and sales.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:49

I had never really knew what life insurance was until I started

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:52

looking it up and I found that Nationwide Insurance wasn't very far from my house.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:56

And so I put that on my radar and I did end up eventually working for them,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:20:58

which is all fascinating and interesting.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:00

So circling back to all of this, to your point, no, I wasn't taught cooking, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:08

Yes.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:08

There are some high schools that have home ec, which is

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:11

referred to like home economics,

Dave Conley: 00:21:13

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:13

very dryly and basically we'll teach kids like the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:19

things in life that you need to do, how money works, how income works, how

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:23

your family's balance sheet will look, revenue expenses, credit cards, food,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:29

how to sew, how to do certain things.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:32

Yes, all those are very accurate.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:34

And there are high schools that will teach that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:37

But very rarely.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:38

And again, you ready for this tape?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:40

It's an elective, which means kids get to choose, oh, Do I do home ec?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:45

Do I do LMS?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:46

Do I do pe, do I do art?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:48

Do I do Spanish?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:48

They get to pick.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:50

And that should be, again, the maj, you should pick.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:21:55

Do you wanna do reading or math do LMS for sure do home ec for sure.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:03

There are some people who are more adapted and just, they like

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:07

science more than, they like math.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:09

They like history more than they like science.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:11

They enjoy social studies more than they like theater.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:14

There's people that are like in high school and middle school that are gonna

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:17

be more adapted to doing certain things and they know that at an early age.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:21

But to your point, I didn't really understand food until 20 18, 20 19.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:30

And probably 2020, those three years is when I really got it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:34

And the reason is because I put down $5,500 in 2018 to do an event called

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:41

the 2 9 0 2 9 Everything event.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:44

And that's where you climb a mountain.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:46

This was the snow base in Utah Mountain, and you climb it

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:50

13 times from bottom to top.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:52

take the gondola down, and overall that's 32 ish miles and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:22:57

29,000, 29 feet of elevation gain.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:00

AKA you have 36 hours to climb Everest, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:04

The equivalent.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:06

and in order to train for it, I had to look up nutrition and I was asking

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:10

myself like, what do athletes do?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:12

And this is what I learned about.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:14

order to perform better, you have to eat better and you actually have to eat more.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:19

And you have to come up with this cycle and this process.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:22

And if you're going to really work out and get strong and go, here's how fats work.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:27

Here's how glucose works, here's how fat storage works.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:29

Here's how sugar works.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:30

A lot of people think if you eat sugar, you get energy.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:33

That's not entirely true.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:34

In fact, that's very rarely the case.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:36

You have to train your body use sugar as energy.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:40

That has to be a trained system, which means your body has to start learning the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:44

difference between burning fat and burning sugar or burning different types of

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:48

sugar, glucose, fructose, to name a few.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:52

So ultimately it's really interesting.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:53

That's when I started learning, 'cause I had to put up a bunch of money to enter

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:57

into an event that was an endurance event.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:23:59

It was extremely hard.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:00

I had to learn all about this stuff.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:01

All that to say, to finally answer your question.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:04

No, dude I didn't learn any of this and my mom didn't teach me and she

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:08

really tried, although she probably didn't think I was that interested.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:11

And truthfully, I probably wasn't.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:13

I'm sure she said, Hey, Jerremy, would you like to help me learn how to cook this?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:16

And I probably said no.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:17

And I just blocked that out in my mind.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:19

I'm sure that happened.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:20

But as parents, instead of asking force your 15-year-old

Dave Conley: 00:24:24

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:25

My 15-year-old son wants to play video games every

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:27

single day, every hour of the day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:28

That's what he wants to do.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:30

And that's cool.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:31

can play some games.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:35

there are gonna be requirements that I'm gonna give them.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:37

One of the greatest gifts any parents can give their children

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:41

is adversity they can handle.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:42

So you have to give them adversity.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:44

You have to give them a challenge.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:45

Just yesterday we went to the zoo and I rented these bikes,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:49

which was a great workout.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:51

I was really happy to see a lot of other people do these

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:52

bikes, but it was like a bike.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:54

That was made for four people.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:55

So you sit on this big bike and every single person can pedal and there's

Jerremy Newsome: 00:24:59

Of seats and people can ride it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:01

And so it was me, Gabe my wife and the two boys, Jason and me, and we were on

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:05

this bike and it was me and Gabe doing the primarily pedaling and everyone

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:07

was just hanging out, which is cool.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:09

But I gave him the steering position because you had to steer this bike

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:13

and this bike didn't steer the way you would think it should.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:16

It was very loosey goosey.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:19

So it was fun for him to kinda learn steering.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:21

'cause again, he's 15, he's gonna start driving soon.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:23

And saying all that to say I forcefully put him in that position where he didn't

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:27

wanna drive it and he wasn't comfortable.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:29

He was scared about it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:30

But we went around this whole park, probably five or six miles, dodging kids,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:33

dodging soccer balls, dodging frisbees.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:36

And him learning how to drive in a relatively adverse environment.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:41

A little fear, a little trepidation, a little hesitation.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:44

But you give that adversity 'cause I'm right there, able to pull

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:47

the brake at any time to protect her, to help him or whatever.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:50

And he had a lot of good learning lessons

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:52

I know you all do this, but dads, moms, your kids need

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:56

to see you fail at something.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:58

They need to see you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:25:58

Put yourself into a thing where you don't know if you are going to win.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:03

Most of our listeners are incredibly intelligent, smart, talented people.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:09

And if you have children, ask yourself, what is one of the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:12

best gifts you can give them?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:14

And I'm telling you, it is adversity that they can handle and they need to see you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:20

In adversity.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:21

They need to see how you interact with potential failure or losing or attempting

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:27

or studying or not knowing something.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:30

They wanna see how you study and how you learn.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:33

Because when you can impart those gifts into our kids the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:36

answer is always education.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:38

We're gonna come back to that as the basic boiler point answer for

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:42

pretty much almost any problem that we encounter is it will be education.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:48

I was terrified of chiropractic for a long time until I, I jumped off,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:55

I was doing like a ropes course and jumped off the ropes course and ended

Jerremy Newsome: 00:26:58

up hitting my neck or something on something and gave myself whiplash.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:02

And so I went to a chiropractor.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:03

I didn't know what else to do 'cause the pain was excruciating

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:05

and within a week whiplash was gone.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:07

I was totally fine.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:08

Everything was great.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:09

And so when we had Dr. Sean Dale come on the podcast and when we

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:13

were interviewing him and talking to him and getting people's take

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:16

on chiropractic, it's like that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:18

Of itself, just the embracing this of, Hey, you don't have to go to a

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:23

specialized doctor if you can't smell.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:27

There are like me, I can't physically smell.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:30

I'm currently starting to go through different routes just to see if

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:35

I can go in and have invasive surgery, have your nose and sinuses

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:39

peeled apart and ripped apart.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:41

It's go in and have acupuncture, go in and have chiropractic adjustments.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:45

Go in and start figuring out other methods that are not necessarily more healthy.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:50

However, they're simply possibly more approachable.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:55

They're more accessible.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:27:57

They're easier and faster, and most likely a lot less expensive.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:03

Back to the healthcare piece.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:04

And so really bringing this whole thing full circle to just go into what I'm

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:09

really passionate about is the more people become aware and the more you have.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:14

These people like Zen who are going out and getting a platform where they're like,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:19

listen, I don't know the answers either.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:22

I am here to study, I'm here to learn.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:25

There are tons and tons of individuals, millions of Americans

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:28

who do not have these answers.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:30

Let's go find 'em together.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:32

Let's learn together.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:33

Let's adapt, grow, change, and evolve.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:35

And as you evolve, you're gonna start understanding how to learn how to

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:40

study, because you're gonna realize for sure and very quickly that most

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:43

of the things that you do know aren't actually accurate scientifically.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:47

And you've been taught them 35 years ago, and they're still holding as

Jerremy Newsome: 00:28:51

strong as they ever were because you just never challenged those beliefs.

Dave Conley: 00:28:55

I couldn't agree more.

Dave Conley: 00:28:56

we spend half of our lives sleeping and eating and dealing with

Dave Conley: 00:29:01

bureaucracies and in relationships.

Dave Conley: 00:29:04

And none of it is taught.

Dave Conley: 00:29:07

You have to get, half-assed information, maybe online, but you don't know,

Dave Conley: 00:29:10

And so you end up talking to your friends.

Dave Conley: 00:29:12

Maybe you get a little bit from your parents, but they didn't

Dave Conley: 00:29:14

get the right information.

Dave Conley: 00:29:15

So all of that is just up to you.

Dave Conley: 00:29:18

And the simplicity of just coming back to movement and water and meditation

Dave Conley: 00:29:26

and all these things are free, right?

Dave Conley: 00:29:27

Sunlight.

Dave Conley: 00:29:28

And then, to your point.

Dave Conley: 00:29:30

Being the example for your kids.

Dave Conley: 00:29:32

And it's like when they see you moving and like they, if you're sitting in

Dave Conley: 00:29:35

front of the TV and you're just, that's what you're doing and you're smoking

Dave Conley: 00:29:39

the Marble Reds and you're eating the chips, then that's what they're seeing

Dave Conley: 00:29:42

and that's what they're going to do.

Dave Conley: 00:29:44

And so at some point there is a choice Saying that, like every

Dave Conley: 00:29:49

system is built against you.

Dave Conley: 00:29:51

Every single one, we had the doctors on and they pointed at

Dave Conley: 00:29:55

insurance and being like, oh my God, we had the insurance people on.

Dave Conley: 00:29:59

They were like, Hey, you gotta, how could you possibly spend $12,000 on

Dave Conley: 00:30:04

anything and not know what you're doing?

Dave Conley: 00:30:06

I'm like, okay fair point.

Dave Conley: 00:30:07

And then we have Zen who's oh, like it's not labeled,

Dave Conley: 00:30:10

it's actually inside the food.

Dave Conley: 00:30:12

And hers, her story was one about, whoa, what I really liked

Dave Conley: 00:30:16

was it was about community.

Dave Conley: 00:30:18

Hers was like, damnit, I'm just gonna get moms and we're gonna go March.

Dave Conley: 00:30:22

And I'm like, damn, that.

Dave Conley: 00:30:23

What a great idea.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:24

Yeah.

Dave Conley: 00:30:25

Every system is set up against you.

Dave Conley: 00:30:27

And that's I guess that still frustrates me a bit.

Dave Conley: 00:30:30

But on the other hand, we just started this with saying, Hey, what

Dave Conley: 00:30:33

do you actually have control over?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:34

you said the word choice

Dave Conley: 00:30:36

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:36

said, we have the power to heal ourselves

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:39

with the choices we make.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:42

So listen to that very carefully.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:44

And that could be on like a t-shirt, and this is probably one of our main

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:46

slogans, but we can heal ourselves, meaning we do not need the agencies and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:30:52

the companies and the aspects of this that are designed to make this difficult.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:01

We do not need them as individuals.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:03

We do not need them to heal.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:06

We do not need them to be the best, most vibrant versions of ourselves.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:09

And yes, a lot of cards are stacked against us.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:13

And ultimately knowing that we again, have the choices.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:18

It's all choices.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:20

It's all perspectives.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:22

world is created by the words you use and the beliefs that you hold.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:28

Your beliefs are gonna create everything.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:31

And if you believe that every single thing is going to be created to crush

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:37

you, to stop you from expanding, to keep you poor, broken, fat, and ugly,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:42

that's exactly what's gonna happen.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:43

If you also believe that there's a lot of things that are created or

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:46

built or made to give you a certain level of struggle because struggle

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:53

simply makes you stronger, then that's even more of a fun perspective.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:31:59

Ultimately though, I think when you brought up, Hey

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:02

man, you're paying $10,000.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:05

You don't even know what you're buying.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:07

You haven't even read it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:07

You haven't even tried.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:08

You haven't even cared.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:09

I did think that was a gut punch that took us for a storm.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:14

'cause me and you were like, we're gonna make fun of the insurance agency.

Dave Conley: 00:32:17

There.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:18

about how awful it is, and we're coming for you insurance.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:21

then both of these insurance agents are like, yeah, homie.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:24

But here's the problem is you don't even care.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:29

You don't even know what you have.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:31

And then I thought to myself, you're right.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:34

I don't, I haven't studied it for a moment.

Dave Conley: 00:32:38

That was the best and worst feeling out of this whole

Dave Conley: 00:32:40

thing because I totally rolled in, be like, ah, damn you insurance.

Dave Conley: 00:32:45

And they're like, have you ever read it?

Dave Conley: 00:32:46

And I'm like, oh no, I can't even comment on it.

Dave Conley: 00:32:50

No.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:51

Yeah, that was fascinating.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:53

And then to circle back, let's just keep having fun with Dave.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:55

When we're talking about the term that I think a lot of people are very aware

Jerremy Newsome: 00:32:59

of, and again, man I do think that there's a big challenge here, but we do

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:03

truly probably see that the challenge as you race early from the adaptation

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:09

and adoption and education on health, but the sick care system as Amanda and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:14

Sean were mentioning, the big change there is all focused on profits,

Dave Conley: 00:33:20

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:20

The healthcare system profiting off of sickness because although

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:27

prevention is the alternative, if you do not get sick and everyone in America

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:32

suddenly becomes a lot healthier moves a lot more and eats a lot better, and gets

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:38

more sunlight and spends more time outside and smokes less and drinks less alcohol.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:43

probably visit substantially less in the medical system and there

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:49

becomes a lot less of a strain on it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:52

And then most importantly, there's gonna be massive changes there

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:55

because then the profits dwindle.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:33:59

the best way to get someone to change companies to changed

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:02

corporations have changed.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:03

And you start attacking that bottom line, you start creating pain.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:06

'cause pain's a great motivator.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:08

Pain is a great mover.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:09

So for Amanda to guide us through a lot of the bottlenecks that happen

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:14

in emergency rooms, that would be a really fascinating topic or episode

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:18

just to even dive into that more.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:20

A lot of the misdiagnoses that happen the one that really probably stood out to me

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:24

ultimately was I think she said, KPI care is like these doctors and these patients,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:31

the relationship is a patient is a number.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:34

A lot of times, and it's get in this emergency room, let's get you suited.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:39

And off you go.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:42

not really a right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:44

It's a, all right, this is a profit center.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:47

The hospitals have this particular number.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:50

We need to see this amount of patients and prescribe this and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:53

do this and create this, and this can very check, check oriented.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:57

And that, to me, I did not know.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:34:59

I did not know it worked that way

Jerremy Newsome: 00:35:01

A little scary.

Dave Conley: 00:35:02

I've learned two things since then, and this is why I want to,

Dave Conley: 00:35:05

when we swing back around this, I want to talk to some more people in this.

Dave Conley: 00:35:09

One, is that.

Dave Conley: 00:35:11

If a doctor doesn't put one of those codes in, that was Rihanna was talking

Dave Conley: 00:35:15

about, then they don't get paid.

Dave Conley: 00:35:18

And so they slot a lot of people into codes because they'll get paid not

Dave Conley: 00:35:25

because of what the diagnosis actually is.

Dave Conley: 00:35:28

Not to say that they're wrong or off.

Dave Conley: 00:35:31

They're like, just close enough.

Dave Conley: 00:35:33

But, like it's an art.

Dave Conley: 00:35:34

We're human beings.

Dave Conley: 00:35:35

Like it's being a doctor is, you're an art, you're in an

Dave Conley: 00:35:39

art as much as a science.

Dave Conley: 00:35:40

And a large number of medical issues or misdiagnosis or being treated

Dave Conley: 00:35:47

for something wrong happens early on in a process where somebody is

Dave Conley: 00:35:51

slotted into something and it's never changed later on because the doctor

Dave Conley: 00:35:56

was managing to a number and was, wherever in the process it was stuck

Dave Conley: 00:36:02

on the number and it wasn't stuck on the human and what was going on there.

Dave Conley: 00:36:06

The other thing is those KPIs often have like a satisfaction score.

Dave Conley: 00:36:11

And so if the doctor doesn't give somebody what they want,

Dave Conley: 00:36:17

then they'll get a bad review.

Dave Conley: 00:36:19

And it doesn't necessarily mean that, the doctor, it's not a Yelp

Dave Conley: 00:36:22

review for a doctor, it's, sometimes doctors have to do tough things.

Dave Conley: 00:36:26

I love that people are coming in more knowledgeable, like my doctor

Dave Conley: 00:36:29

said, he expects somebody to come in with I heard this on a podcast, or

Dave Conley: 00:36:34

I Googled this, or whatever, right?

Dave Conley: 00:36:36

And he gets to have actually much better conversations with his patients.

Dave Conley: 00:36:41

So there's, on top of that, Amanda was talking about you only get

Dave Conley: 00:36:45

15 minutes and you're in and out.

Dave Conley: 00:36:47

And so the one thing you can do is give him a pill.

Dave Conley: 00:36:49

So again, every piece of that is ah, like that's when you're

Dave Conley: 00:36:53

just wanna throw it all out.

Dave Conley: 00:36:54

And now you're back at let me ask you this.

Dave Conley: 00:36:58

What did we learn?

Dave Conley: 00:36:59

If you do get sick, most people are right?

Dave Conley: 00:37:02

the day before I met you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:37:04

no.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:37:04

I'm gonna pause this.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:37:05

You're gonna tell your story, but when he says the day.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:37:07

does mean an actual 24 hour period.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:37:10

Keep going.

Dave Conley: 00:37:11

I called him from the hospital and he said, okay.

Dave Conley: 00:37:14

I said, okay.

Dave Conley: 00:37:16

I don't know what's gonna happen, but I think I'm still gonna come.

Dave Conley: 00:37:20

I won't know until I'm outta surgery.

Dave Conley: 00:37:22

And you're like, what?

Dave Conley: 00:37:24

And I'm like it's my appendix, right?

Dave Conley: 00:37:26

And they do have to rush me to emergency surgery and we'll

Dave Conley: 00:37:28

know more once I'm up and out.

Dave Conley: 00:37:30

And yeah, I was up and out like a few hours later, like I had to go overnight.

Dave Conley: 00:37:34

and then I got on the plane that day because I was like I can.

Dave Conley: 00:37:38

I can either sit around and be like, feeling sorry for myself

Dave Conley: 00:37:42

or I can get on a plane and that, that actually taught me some grace.

Dave Conley: 00:37:45

'cause I had to ask for help for everybody.

Dave Conley: 00:37:47

I couldn't lift anything.

Dave Conley: 00:37:48

So I had to ask every single person, it's like, Hey, I got a bag.

Dave Conley: 00:37:51

Would you mind lifting it up on the security and would you mind lifting

Dave Conley: 00:37:54

it and putting it in the bin overhead?

Dave Conley: 00:37:56

So what did we learn about what happens when you get sick?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:00

Or even needing massive medical attention.

Dave Conley: 00:38:02

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:03

And I think the answer is our system right now it's both good

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:11

and bad because it works 85% of the time

Dave Conley: 00:38:14

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:14

But here's the challenge.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:15

That's a b plus.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:17

And when you're talking about hundreds of millions of people, that 15% is

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:19

an astronomically horrible number.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:22

You're dealing with millions that are negatively impacted.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:27

And yes, that is a problem, but I do not feel that there

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:31

is an authority, especially a governmental authority right now.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:34

Also, that's.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:35

Extremely well geared towards making our country run extremely

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:42

efficiently through a care system.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:45

A care system of actually pouring into the patients.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:48

And to your point, I'll ask you this question 'cause we did talk about it a

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:53

lot in conjunction with the insurance.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:38:56

How did your insurance help you getting your appendix taken out?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:39:00

Was it a massive financial strain?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:39:03

And what did you end up paying, if you remember?

Dave Conley: 00:39:06

I do, I know exactly what it's, and I kept on putting

Dave Conley: 00:39:09

it off because I didn't want to get into the medical industrial complex.

Dave Conley: 00:39:14

And finally I actually called my doctor and he said, look, man, you might be.

Dave Conley: 00:39:20

Hey, you're going in for surgery now.

Dave Conley: 00:39:22

I learned subsequently that I didn't necessarily need surgery

Dave Conley: 00:39:26

that actually for an appendix.

Dave Conley: 00:39:28

If you do a heavy antibiotic for five days, it tends to

Dave Conley: 00:39:32

have the exact same result.

Dave Conley: 00:39:33

But that's neither here nor there.

Dave Conley: 00:39:34

I ended up talking to a surgeon before I talked to my doctor, but what surprised me

Dave Conley: 00:39:40

the most was the bill I got, it was zero.

Dave Conley: 00:39:43

Because I went to a hospital that happened to be completely

Dave Conley: 00:39:47

affiliated with my insurance company.

Dave Conley: 00:39:49

I had actually checked, with my insurance company to be

Dave Conley: 00:39:52

like, okay, where should I go?

Dave Conley: 00:39:53

And they said, this hospital turned out to be great.

Dave Conley: 00:39:56

And that was the lesson that I heard both from Rihanna and from Nick, is

Dave Conley: 00:40:03

even if you can't make sure somebody is there and they're asking questions

Dave Conley: 00:40:07

like, how much does this cost?

Dave Conley: 00:40:09

Give me the bill.

Dave Conley: 00:40:10

And you're not guiding the care.

Dave Conley: 00:40:14

You're saying, okay, what's necessary, what's not?

Dave Conley: 00:40:16

Let's put it in the realm of choices, rather than saying, I need an $80 Tylenol.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:22

Yep.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:22

Two of my favorite quotes and you always help me in my presentations and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:26

speaking, but one of them is you can either be a victim or you can be a victor.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:31

Then the other one of course is you can be a warrior or you can be a warrior.

Dave Conley: 00:40:35

Say that again?

Dave Conley: 00:40:36

your accent aid into the, it's warrior.

Dave Conley: 00:40:39

Warrior or worrier.

Dave Conley: 00:40:41

Wow.

Dave Conley: 00:40:41

I like that

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:42

Thanks man.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:43

Thank you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:44

accent does get in the way of it a little bit, so I try, like warrior or

Dave Conley: 00:40:49

Warrior.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:50

Do you worry or do you go to war?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:53

Here it is, the big one, the big shift.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:40:56

The reason I'm mentioning those two statements, it is our personal

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:01

responsibility, Americans.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:03

That's what I'm telling you.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:04

We have to take personal responsibility.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:06

All these other aspects are here for us as supplements, meaning supplementally.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:14

We can do this in addition to, but we have to focus on our health,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:21

our finances, and our life.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:24

No one is coming to save us.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:26

we do this through diet, through exercise.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:28

We do this with sleep, with savvy choices, working with professionals,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:33

but not leaning on them.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:35

This is gonna unlock a lot of the broken systems.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:39

So if I, talk about Zen, who was on episode 11,

Dave Conley: 00:41:42

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:43

Choosing organic.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:45

Over Gmail laden food.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:46

Boom, that's a choice.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:47

It's gonna be more expensive.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:49

Yes, it will.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:50

Which now is gonna make you focus more on your finances.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:54

And that's one of the reasons that you came up to me after 16 hours of

Jerremy Newsome: 00:41:58

getting your appendix removed, is I was like, Hey bro, I wanna coach

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:01

with you, work with me, work with my wife, and we'll change your life.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:04

I'll help you with your money, I'll help you understand all the things.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:06

And then we ended up creating this together and I was like,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:08

oh, that's why you're in my life.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:09

This is awesome.

Dave Conley: 00:42:10

Here we are.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:11

Day one, you're like, you wanna run for president?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:14

I'm gonna help you and here's

Dave Conley: 00:42:15

I am

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:16

it.

Dave Conley: 00:42:16

number one in

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:17

and you went all the way in.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:19

So I'll take a quick second and say, thank you man.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:21

Thanks for being all the way in.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:21

Thanks for loving on me and for pouring in 300 hours in the last few months,

Dave Conley: 00:42:28

it is maybe this last week.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:30

making this mission happen.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:31

It's very appreciative

Dave Conley: 00:42:33

Wouldn't do it if I didn't believe in it.

Dave Conley: 00:42:35

And you, and what we're doing because this is about solving America's problems.

Dave Conley: 00:42:40

And I don't know if there's anything more important than bringing, a better world,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:45

This is a very rare podcast.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:47

You know this 'cause you consume podcasts all the time.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:49

But usually most political podcasts are very one-sided.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:52

They're not really specifically bipartisan.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:54

You and I have openly mentioned that we don't agree on all policies,

Dave Conley: 00:42:58

Oh, no.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:42:59

nor should we.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:00

And it's a fun discussion when we get to have our chats and we get to go see

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:06

things from different lenses and also bring in guests that are well more

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:11

versed in certain things than we are.

Dave Conley: 00:43:14

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:15

again, man, when we were chatting with Zen,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:17

when she was like, guys, eating well isn't just health, right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:20

It's defiance against a toxic food supply.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:24

These personal choices that you're making, they're gonna shape your

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:27

outcomes that you have in life.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:29

to me, as consumers, if we start making this choice that's gonna impact the

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:33

profits of these companies and that's gonna naturally create a change to occur.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:39

Right?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:39

And then again, having the discussions about the health, what kept coming up

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:44

over and over and over again is we are in control more than we think we are.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:43:51

Knowing and spending time to read the fine print on your medical policy, read

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:00

the fine print on the back of your food label, that was like 25 minutes of what

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:07

Zen was referring to and talking about.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:10

Sitting down

Dave Conley: 00:44:11

it was.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:12

conversations with these ER doctors, maybe even ahead of time.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:16

Ha.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:16

Have you ever heard of prehab?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:18

Instead of going to rehab, you do everything preliminary before it

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:22

actually begins, before it starts These are, again, personal choices

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:26

that we can all make ahead of time.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:29

We can have conversations with people now, before we get sick determine,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:34

the patterns of decisions and choices that we can make that allow us to not

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:38

necessarily always interact with a system that we might feel is broken.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:43

We don't even have to be a part of it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:45

We can only lean on it when we have to Has it really ever led

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:50

us or caused us to go astray?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:52

I've had tonsil surgery, I've had ear, nose and throat surgery.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:55

I had a deviated septum.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:44:57

I've had my wisdom teeth taken out and I had malaria once when I was 18.

Dave Conley: 00:45:01

Yeah.

Dave Conley: 00:45:01

Wow.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:02

sucked.

Dave Conley: 00:45:02

Oof.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:03

Don't get malaria and all in those situations, right?

Dave Conley: 00:45:06

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:06

with little or no insurance and everything

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:10

ended up becoming fine.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:11

This is how I know about the plans, and this is how I know about when

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:15

we were asking the conversations with Nick and Rhiannon's Hey, can

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:18

you have conversations with people?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:19

Can you talk to these people?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:20

Like how do you, what questions you ask.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:21

I know about that 'cause I went through it and I'm fully aware of this.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:24

Listen, this is an educational component and there's that word again.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:27

it all is everything that we do, everything that we know.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:29

It's always a choice.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:30

It's always an opportunity.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:45:31

It's an opportunity to grow, educate, shift, learn, and understand.

Dave Conley: 00:45:35

I think if there's one thing that we can.

Dave Conley: 00:45:37

Leave our listeners, and it's, I think it was the wisdom of

Dave Conley: 00:45:41

Zen that really sat with me.

Dave Conley: 00:45:43

And I've been thinking about it.

Dave Conley: 00:45:44

And actually, I was talking to a doctor friend of mine yesterday,

Dave Conley: 00:45:47

this is a scientist, right?

Dave Conley: 00:45:48

Like years and years of training.

Dave Conley: 00:45:50

And she's completely changed her practice and her practice is much more holistic.

Dave Conley: 00:45:56

And if I described it to you, I think for the vast majority of people it

Dave Conley: 00:46:00

would sound like voodoo and woo, right?

Dave Conley: 00:46:03

what I heard from Zen because there is going to be a segment of people who

Dave Conley: 00:46:07

are like stuck in what institutions and what mainstream and what, what

Dave Conley: 00:46:14

you hear and what is accepted science.

Dave Conley: 00:46:17

And they'll be like that's what it is.

Dave Conley: 00:46:20

And anything that questions that.

Dave Conley: 00:46:22

Cathedral is wrong and those people are bad.

Dave Conley: 00:46:26

And like we bump and you bump into it with getting people like RFKJ,

Dave Conley: 00:46:32

being told anti-vaxxer and having to describe to people while he's not right.

Dave Conley: 00:46:37

Like he's just pro safety and let's set that aside, what I heard from

Dave Conley: 00:46:43

Zen because, she can dip into those areas too with all sorts of things

Dave Conley: 00:46:47

I. That people are like, no, these things are safe and they're fine.

Dave Conley: 00:46:51

And I don't know if we're going to reach those people, but she left

Dave Conley: 00:46:54

us with one very powerful thing that I think everybody can do.

Dave Conley: 00:46:58

And she's look, just Stay curious.

Dave Conley: 00:47:00

And if you try organic food for 30 days and you feel better, then

Dave Conley: 00:47:04

that's all you really need to know.

Dave Conley: 00:47:07

If you just try something for 30 days, anything, more water, more movement, some

Dave Conley: 00:47:12

sunlight, some meditation, some whatever it is, eating GMO for one meal, right?

Dave Conley: 00:47:18

Or not, meaning not eating GMO, eating organic for one meal, stay if you can't

Dave Conley: 00:47:24

pronounce it, don't put it in your mouth, so it's there is a simplicity to this

Dave Conley: 00:47:29

and it'll keep you outta the hospitals.

Dave Conley: 00:47:32

It'll keep you out of the doctor's offices.

Dave Conley: 00:47:34

It will keep you healthier than that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:47:36

Yeah, so if I had to say, Dave, like at the heart of what you

Jerremy Newsome: 00:47:45

believe we found in the very first time that we address together as a podcast and

Jerremy Newsome: 00:47:52

as a team, making America healthy again?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:47:55

How do we solve the problem that exists right now as what we now know?

Dave Conley: 00:48:03

I know how difficult it is to do it by yourself.

Dave Conley: 00:48:06

I was 330 pounds overweight.

Dave Conley: 00:48:08

I had a beautiful, lovely wife and yet, like I was choosing

Dave Conley: 00:48:13

differently for most of my life.

Dave Conley: 00:48:16

And I think, all of our guests in one way or another, kept on coming

Dave Conley: 00:48:20

back to community, and that's very empowering, that allows people to

Dave Conley: 00:48:26

ask for and demand different things.

Dave Conley: 00:48:29

How about learning how to garden and getting things like farmer's markets

Dave Conley: 00:48:34

and demanding that the stores near you have different choices and saying

Dave Conley: 00:48:40

that there's going to be demand for these things because one person by

Dave Conley: 00:48:43

themselves can make a difference.

Dave Conley: 00:48:45

But as soon as you get your neighbor involved, then you have two voices

Dave Conley: 00:48:48

and those two voices become four and those four become eight, and

Dave Conley: 00:48:51

then you have a movement, and that's when change really happens.

Dave Conley: 00:48:55

So I think there's a personal responsibility aspect of this, and

Dave Conley: 00:48:59

we also learned that like 42% of births, that's 1.5 million kids a

Dave Conley: 00:49:05

year get born into Medicaid, right?

Dave Conley: 00:49:08

That means, Medicaid is the insurance you have when you can't afford anything else.

Dave Conley: 00:49:13

And so it's going to be community standing up and saying, Hey,

Dave Conley: 00:49:17

this needs to be different.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:19

Yep,

Dave Conley: 00:49:19

What about you?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:20

yep.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:21

That's a community take.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:22

It's the communities.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:23

And I still man, forcefully, vehemently agree and believe that a lot of this

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:30

change is Gonna start from the top of being a voice for the voiceless.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:34

Being someone that knows the challenges, knows the struggle, didn't grow up.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:41

As a billionaire, hashtag our current president didn't

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:46

grow up in the entire system.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:49

Hashtag most of every single president has come before us.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:54

Not having a lens of this political, systematic approach

Jerremy Newsome: 00:49:59

where I take money bribes.

Dave Conley: 00:50:03

Yeah.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:05

instead of creating a system that has been infiltrated by again,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:11

to the point any big company that has tons of profits is wanting more money.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:17

You have someone like myself and like many other candidates have

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:22

bought into the American dream.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:24

We bought into it, we financed it, we grew it.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:29

And that dream allowed other people to be positively impacted other people to learn.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:36

change, grow, become inspired, become motivated, then go

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:41

out and make that change.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:42

That's the process, that's the cycle.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:44

And I truly believe if we have someone who is focused on that, on the revitalization

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:51

of America's mental health, pouring into the mental awareness, the positive

Jerremy Newsome: 00:50:59

vibrational frequency, the shift from negative to positive, that in of itself is

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:09

gonna be a humongous impact on our health.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:12

My man, I fully believe that.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:13

'cause if you are drinking poison and you're thinking negative thoughts for

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:19

our listeners, I'm sure you know this, but if you said to me, The things

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:25

that you say to yourself every day?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:26

Would we be friends?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:27

Would we even have conversations with each other?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:29

Would we ever talk?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:30

The answer's?

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:31

Probably not, because we beat ourselves up.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:33

We say so many negative things to ourselves, and we very rarely have

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:37

someone else who's cheering us on.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:39

That's gonna be the person I'm gonna be.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:41

I'm gonna be that cheerleader.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:42

I'm gonna be the focus.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:44

I'm gonna help understand and learn together as we continue to

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:48

grow and really truly track down.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:51

What are some of the biggest challenges, the biggest hurdles, the biggest problems,

Jerremy Newsome: 00:51:56

and the easiest, advantageous, implemental solutions that we can start at right now.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:04

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:22

the political podcast arena here on all the platforms that do podcasts.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:28

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:31

This is a podcast where we're having discussions rather than a narrative.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:35

We are asking questions rather than getting paid to deliver a certain

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:40

media and a certain presentation and a certain bias and a certain opinion.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:43

We are self-funding this because we are Americans who bought the American dream.

Jerremy Newsome: 00:52:48
