Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to another episode of Couple of Nukes. As always, I'm your host, Mr. Whiskey. And today we're going to be talking about something hinted at throughout the series and something that I preach a lot, which is The use and abuse and distribution of so much medicine, especially to veterans and military and even just civilians, you know, so many chemicals and drugs being pumped out there, whether it's for monetary gain or other reasons, but we're going to talk about how healing can be done in so many other ways and with so much more naturalness to it.
And today we have an expert in All of that brain chemistry, hormones, and just your body with some great books and some great knowledge to share with us. So dr. Sarah Doyle, will you please introduce yourself for us? Hi, a pleasure to be here. Yeah. I'm a, I'm a doctor of physical therapy and I started my career working in hospitals bedside.
I love the adrenaline of it. I didn't even know that existed when I started physical therapy school. I thought it was just going to be like doing sports medicine, a little massage and some weight. You know, I thought it was gonna be like a glorified personal trainer. But when I went through the program, they make you intern in different locations.
And I love the hospital. It was like, you know, people don't go to a hospital unless they're gonna die if they don't. So it's a great time to mentor people when they're at that, like, I call it a come to Jesus moment. So, it's a great time to mentor them. But not only that, it's like, they're really critically ill.
And my job was to teach them to walk again, teach them to sit up again, depending on, you know, sometimes they're half paralyzed at amputations. You know, I'd worked in ICU trauma, but then I worked in, I worked in oncology. My godfather got lung cancer and I got a job at the hospital where he was being treated and he died in the middle of my shift.
So I made really good friends. Yeah, it was crazy, right? I made good friends with the oncologist and just, you know, they trusted me and they kind of took me in as one of their own. And so I started working with a lot of the oncology patients and that's where I saw, I was like, Oh my God, like all this could be prevented with good nutrition, but we're not taught that in school at all.
Like, okay, I had, yeah. 20 pages in one chapter of one book among the, you know, we had to write, read 500 of course. Yeah. We read 500 pages a week for seven years. Like, and I got like what, 20 pages on nutrition. So, you know, people would say to me in the hospital beds, like, isn't there anything else I can do?
All they're doing is giving me more prescriptions. They don't even know what's wrong with me. And I was like, that's right. They don't like, what is this healthcare system about? You And that was like the nail in the coffin for me. Like ethically, I watched so many drugs be pushed on people and, and other drugs to help them be withheld.
And it, I just ate my soul. So when I, so, you know, it was in this time, you know, when I worked in the oncology, I, I was like, I, I started researching functional medicine and I realized that I, in the hospital, I was working in dysfunctional medicine. That's the allopathic healthcare that we've all been like brainwashed to think there's the only option.
And so, yeah, so functional medicine looks at the root cause, like instead of just looking at your symptoms, we look at, cause your symptoms, like I get people with fatigue. Well, that could be from hormones, from brain chemicals, from toxins, from this insomnia. Same thing. It can be from mold toxicity, pesticide toxicity.
Like I have to look at everything. We, so we work backwards. We use functional medicine, testing, like testing that you can't get at your regular doctor. And we look backwards to, to see what's that root cause. And then we attack it from there so that we're not just doing symptom management. Like we're getting rid of, it's like, If you're poking or cutting your finger, you put a bandaid on it, but like, you know, you got to get rid of the razor blade that's cutting your finger.
Right. So it's like, that's what we do. And so I got certified in functional medicine and then I got board certified in nutrition and in those programs. I learned how to use vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids properly timed. And how do you utilize different functional medicine testing? Like I do a lot of urine panels.
I had no idea that our P was so valuable. Like literally everything that's happened in your body in the last 24 hours comes out in your P right. That makes sense. So we look at all those metabolites, I can get toxic metabolites, like estrogens, like we're like, you know, there's a lot of chemical exposures the xenoestrogens we can look at the stress.
So, you know, when I'm working with different patient populations, sometimes their cortisol levels are really out of whack. So we can start there and that affects their sex hormones. I look at thyroid and heavy metals because a heavy metal, like, you know, whether it's from eating a lot of fish or being in an environment where there's water or you're breathing in like dust of heavy metals, like, you know, you get these build up in there and then things you know, your body's like, A symphony and everything needs to play.
Right. Yeah. So when one instrument is too, it's like going to like a middle school band recital, you're like, Oh my God, that one is like out of whack, you know? So, when that happens, we need to retune everything and get it working better together in harmony. Yeah, you said that what I like the most is that we are very much in a society in time where it's symptom management.
I like how you said that and I, I totally agree with that a hundred percent, especially in terms of when we're just, you know, putting so many young women specifically on antidepressants, multiple different kinds or swapping through them and not actually treating the root cause. And it's something I've talked about a lot with alcoholics and addiction as well is we always You know, have to pinpoint that root cause, which there's going to be several layers before you get to the main root cause.
And I think an issue we've talked about is a lot of people drinking just to reset their liver or get rid of their physical ailments and then go back to drinking while not addressing that root psychological cause. Not to say there isn't. Physical causes, especially once you become addicted. But yeah, and I agree with you.
Yeah, for sure. Like I was in a passenger in a car accident and I had a really, really bad pain. And they, this is after the opioid crisis and they wouldn't give me enough pain medication. And I started drinking, I was drinking, I was drinking. I mean, This was like 13, 14 years ago when I was in school and I just hurt, I couldn't sit in a chair.
I like, you know, and I was working in a nightclub to put myself through school. And so I just started drinking, like I was in so much pain. And I thought to myself, this is how chronic pain patients become alcoholics. I was like, they don't have a choice. There's no other choice. So when people are dealing with that kind of pain, and then there's also genetic predisposition.
So when we do the brain chemistry test where we look at the urine metabolites. Genetically, we have genes that are coded to make enzymes, and so not all of our genes are perfect, right? They have, they're called SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphisms. We're not perfect, but, so some people, you can see what alcoholism runs in families, because they'll have really high glutamate levels.
And people, alcoholics self medicate because alcohol binds to the GABA receptors in the brain. GABA is like a calming neurotransmitter whereas glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter. It's, there's like glutamate. And like, if you look at a red bull, there's like, I think that has like ingredients in it, but at any rate, people who are alcoholics, they just have really high glutamate and they're like, Intrinsically, they, they're self medicating and that's how genetics can play a part in alcoholism.
You know, you got to have compassion and look at it like people aren't inherently bad. They're just trying to help themselves. Yeah, no, I agree with the self medication part, and I've seen some military side, I've seen some patients who suffer from severe migraines, and what their solution was, was to try and numb the people's nervous systems, or block the receptors between the body and the brain, so that they just don't feel the pain from the migraines, but they're still happening, and I just personally don't agree with, you know, numbing, because now my friend, he is numb, his whole nervous system to a lot of things, also just emotionally, the medicine they're putting him on.
You know, he's talking about his sense of taste changing his sense of smell his his, you know, sense of feeling stuff like he's not self harming, but you know, like he poked himself with a knife and it's like he can, it feels so dull and it's a sharp knife. They're like, kind of trying to disconnect his nervous system from it to block the migraines because all the other treatments haven't worked and.
You know, it's the thing with like people who can't feel pain, right? If he puts his elbow down on a hot stovetop by accident, he's not even going to notice. And then the damage, you know, we have a connection to tell us there's pain for a reason, right? It's to preserve our body. Yeah. To not the noxious stimuli.
So that happens with diabetics too. That's why like they get cuts on their. Because their feet are numb and then they get amputated like it's crazy, but you're right. And I listened to a lecture from a migraine doctor. He's a functional medicine doctor. Can't remember where he's from. I think he's from like Oklahoma or something.
But anyways, he was saying people if you take an MRI of a migraine sufferer, their brains show similar changes that you would see if you took an MRI of somebody with multiple sclerosis, is that crazy? Like, that's interesting. Yeah, super crazy. So there, and I actually know somebody who had like a misdiagnosis.
I live in Miami. So I knew somebody that was getting, you know, some scans done and the resident it's a, it's a teaching hospital, right? University of Miami. So the resident preliminary preliminary said that it looked like she had multiple sclerosis. She's like, Oh my God, that's horrible. It's a death sentence.
And it turned out that it was really just from migraines. Wow. Yeah, the brain is pretty. Yeah, it's there's a lot we don't know. Yeah, that's that's for sure. There's there's some crazy things out there and talk about genetics and some of the genetic rarities and mutations that happen are just Thanks. Mind blowing.
Some of them positive, some of them not so positive. You know, I, I love looking at genes and genetic mutations that are beneficial in some ways. Like I've studied cases of people who have mutations where their bones are five times denser than normal. So their ability to survive, you know, damage such as car crashes and stuff is significantly increased, but their ability to jump and swim is decreased because they're heavy.
Their bones are just five times denser. And you know, it's Where the average human bone density is, you know, it's kind of designed to be the ideal, right? So as cool as it is to go denser and be more durable per se, it is, it does come with downsides. Vice versa, if you're super light boned, maybe you swim faster and, and fly further, so to speak, but you're not as durable.
So it's interesting to see how the body changes. Yeah, there's another instance, like an example of that I used with sickle cell anemia. So that like a heterozygous trait is actually protective against malaria. That's why African Americans have it. But then it's like both parents, you know, donate the trait and it's homozygous.
That's when the disease presents as sickle cell anemia. But just having a heterozygous trait was protective against malaria. So that's another adoptive. The body's cool. God made us like pretty resilient. Oh yeah, we, we used to joke. I had a buddy who had sickle cell and we were working on the submarine aircraft carrier together and he would say it's to cut the radiation in half.
So I'm immune to half, you know, here's like the sickle cells are shaped like that so they can cut the radiation. Not, not scientifically accurate, but we used to joke around like that. It was pretty funny, but yeah, I like something else you said, which was the public education systems failures. I'm not pro public education system, unfortunately.
I think there's a lot of improvement in a lot of areas and health and nutrition is definitely one of them, but you talk, it's not just the education system, it's social media as well, promoting right. Unhealthy eating. We see it in the vending machines, what they put available. We see in the price, right?
You look at healthy cereal. If you go to a cereal aisle in general, you look at the ratio of healthy to non healthy, and then you look at the prices as well. It's almost like. Forcing your hand to buy unhealthy cereals and which one will have all the deals on it as well You know get two for seven or three for seven It's the unhealthy cereals and then you look at social media promoting Unhealthy eating mukbang videos and then also just that fat is beautiful.
Therefore, it's healthy You can be overweight and beautiful. I'm fine with that. But saying therefore that makes it healthy Well, beautiful and healthy are two very different things. We've seen that in cases, both scales. Also, with women who are anorexic or skinny, you may be beautiful, but you're malnourished, right?
Exactly. You have bulimia or whatever other eating disorders and social media is pushing that, even if it's not straight up just saying be fat and be unhealthy or be skinny and be unhealthy, the values it puts out about sexual quality and self esteem and beauty kind of forces people. We see a lot of young women and this is something even before social media.
Of course, you know, eating disorders aren't new, but you're definitely right. Nutrition education is not being put out, especially like you said, 20 pages or even less, you know, and it's not really an in depth thing. I think the health classes in general, most people don't get sex ed till, I mean, for me, it was like junior or senior year of high school, right?
And so high schoolers should get that up front. Right. I believe, especially with social media giving so much access to sexual content out there. I mean, I think senior year, as one girl in my class said it's too late now. You know, most high schoolers have made their mistakes or, you know, we're just misinformed about stuff.
And it's the same with, you know, smoking information, drug information, alcohol abuse, and health. Just health in general. You know, what they put out is, The food pyramid or the food plate, whichever one is now existing and it's going to change again. Yeah, you're right. It's all by big, it's all by lobbyists.
I I talk about that in my coaching program. I have a biohacking bootcamp where I focus on perimenopausal, menopausal women, and then men in andropause, like man opossum as men, we don't really talk about that. Like guys, Guys hear hormones and they think that's just a woman's problem, but with all the chemicals in food, I get guys in their thirties that have lower testosterone levels than other men in their seventies.
Like, it's crazy how our food supply is poisoning our young men and women and it's, it's causing infertility and that's, that's, it's a huge problem. I definitely agree with you there. I, I, I think. We need some nutrition education and then we also need some financial education that would probably help our give people some sense of accountability because there's no accountability being taught to this generation.
They just want to like you know, blame it on somebody else or wait for somebody else to scoop them up when really all the answers are in you and your, in your daily habits. For sure. Yeah. I definitely hear a lot of. Gen Z's and Alphas and even Millennials just blaming the generation prior for doing all of this.
And I definitely agree, it's like, well yeah, we can, if each generation just blame shifts the last one, well the last one's not gonna, you know, be like, you're right, it's my fault, let me fix it. And the current generation's not gonna say, alright, it's on us to fix this. And the new generation is going to do that either.
So you just had this endless cycle of no change and just complaining. And I agree. Financial literacy would definitely help people with, with budgeting their groceries and just in general, being able to have time for fitness, time for health, and so you talk about this biohacking bootcamp, tell us a little bit more about your personal journey toward creating that program.
I know you kind of dove into the, why the moments that changed your life, but what are you doing now with it? How does that work? Oh, yeah. Well, I mean, I want to say like, it really started. I had an adverse reaction to an antibiotic when I was 22 years old. So that was well, more than 20 years ago. So, for many years, I was really sick.
I had a lot of food allergies. I had difficulty digesting foods. I thought I thought I had like IBS. I thought I had Crohn's. It was all from this antibiotic. I totally depleted my microbiome. So I could never, I was eating it. Digestive enzymes with every meal. I had heartburn, I had trouble food sensitivities.
So, that was my personal journey. I did a lot of reading and as I was working as a I was first a massage therapist and a physical therapist. I, I was health coaching people back then before that was a thing. I was taking tons. I always had a budget for vitamins. I always gave myself 200 a month to pay for vitamins.
And that was a while ago. Now it's more like 400 or 500 because of inflation. Right. But like, you know, even like 10, 20 years ago, I always had that. I always made sure I had that nutrition because I knew that I was, I knew what it was like to be sick. And so I, you know, I was working with people for many years, I've been practicing and influencing people.
And then when the pandemic happened and we were all locked down, I was getting contacted by all these physical therapy companies that wanted me to do a telehealth and they wanted to use my relationships with the insurance companies. And I thought, well, I'm going to work for myself. Why am I going to make you money?
So I opened a telehealth company and I started doing the functional medicine coaching for free to friends. And then I got referrals. And then once I got the certifications, I started charging. And what I found was that we started with nutrition. We started with my book seven X method. I as a sidebar, Dentistry is like another thing that we don't prioritize in this country.
It's treated like a luxury. Like it's, it was, it would have been, I was in a car accident and I had some fractured teeth back by my jaw that they had to pull out. Like, thank God they weren't in the front, but I went to dentists here and to get everything restructured from a biological dentist that didn't use harsh chemicals, it was almost 30, 000.
I was like, that is crazy. So I had a friend who was an expat in Central America and he's like, just come stay with me. Everything was shut down. I was studying for my functional medicine program and he's like, Oh, you got to meet this guy in town. He's my buddy. You guys are always talking about like energy and this and that.
So. I meet his buddy. It turns out this guy is a liaison for this chronic medicine program where for like over 50 years, they've been healing people from like diseases. We just using food as medicine. It's all based on the circadian rhythm of the sun and our body, our organs and systems. So what I didn't never realize was that we have our main circadian rhythm.
You know, we wake up in the morning, the sun rises, we open our eyes and then we know we sleep at night, but all of our organs and systems take turns peaking and resting and activity. And so, when they're, when they get off their work shift, they want a certain type of food. And so in this program, there's no such thing as calories, fat grams, anything.
The energy of food is measured. Bye. It's like quantic energy and they use it. Think of like the periodic table of elements, how we were taught about the valence electrons had different charges. So different foods have different charges and different body systems want a different charge at a certain time.
So I was like, man, this is remember I was sick from the antibiotic for 20 years. So like, you know, give it a try. I'm telling you within two weeks, I never took another digestive enzyme again. And that was like after 20 years of taking double doses, like a lot of my food sensitivities went away. I could like, I used to get diarrhea when I would eat certain foods.
And I could enjoy certain foods again. Like I hadn't eaten fruit in almost 20 years without getting sick. Yeah. All of a sudden I could eat it again. I was like, this is crazy. So I brought it into I structured like a seven day reset. So when I got my coaching, my coaching clients, you know, I onboarded them.
I ordered all their tests to get shipped to their house. And then we started with the diet. And they're like I lost a pant size this week. What is up? You know, cause all the inflammation goes down. And so in the book, I, I, I looked for as much research to back it up as we have. What I did learn is that the 2017 Nobel prize for medicine and physiology was awarded to three scientists who discovered that we have a clock gene in every cell.
So every cell in our body has circadian rhythm. So we're We're in the Western world. We're just like on the cusp of it. Less than 10 years been studying it, right? Whereas this little healing center has been doing it for 50 years. So. I start with that and then we do hormone testing, stress hormone, sex hormone thyroid, heavy metals, and then the brain chemistry.
So when we get those results back, my clients have a one on one it's everything's done telehealth, you know, so I can reach people. All over the country who don't have access. There's a lot of cities where like you have to drive 100 miles to find a holistic doctor like so, we talk about everything we do the one on one.
And when we take when we look at everything at the same time, and we just attack everything at the same time people feel such a dramatic change. And when you especially when you work with the brain chemistry, and it helps the change be long term because it's like you get off a hamster wheel like. I mean, I've had I've had some mild TBI.
I've had like six concussions. I used to be a fighter and then I had some car accidents. So, those symptoms mimic ADHD. There's like ADHD and mild traumatic brain injury have the same list of symptoms. So, yeah, right. So you can take the, what you get from that brain chemistry test and look at we take therapeutic levels of pharmaceutical grade nutraceuticals.
So strong vitamins you can't buy at Walmart or Amazon. And we take sometimes double doses, sometimes triple doses, you know, depending on the genetics. The environment and you know, just the person's response. So we meet every week, every Tuesday. We have a mastermind where I teach on a certain topic, open it up for Q and a, my clients have 24 seven what's app support for me.
So that, that really makes a difference between me and my competition. Like, Tony Robbins is a spokesperson for my life force. com. I think Andrew Huberman's also now joined as an influencer. Mark Hyman and Cleveland clinic with function house. Who else I get clients from? Oh, the, the Grant Cardone and Gary Brekka 10 X health system.
So those are like my competitors. Oh, then there's rebel health Alliance. That is, that's a little bit newer one and it has almost the same services as me, but it's a bunch of Harvard doctors, but these companies. They are so big that they lose the personal touch. You know, I only take, yeah, I take on 20 clients a month so that I can, you know, keep track of them and not just pawn them off to some random health coach or somebody else.
Like I get people from those big name companies and they're like, yeah, I took all this testing, but. So what I don't know what to do. So, the, you know, it's, it's what I do. I know my, my clients get really great results and if they don't get it in the first 10 weeks of the bootcamp, I don't let them go.
Like they can keep coming to the masterminds. They can keep texting me. If we need to order additional testing, we can do that. I have access to hundreds of tests. So, you know, it's, it's really life changing. It's, you know, it's been, it hasn't been easy. I've been doing it since 2021. It took like, I don't know.
I'm, I'm, listen, when I went to college, I didn't even have an email address. Like we had libraries with the Dewey decimal system and the card catalog. Like for, so, and then when I worked as a realtor. We had advertising in the homes and land magazine and we used fax machines. And then I went to school for healthcare.
So, and worked in hospital. So for me, the biggest learning curve is social media, social marketing, like marketing, like that was not a thing. So for someone I'm, I'm Gen X. Like, so that's been a big, a big learning curve for me. It hasn't been easy, but the clients are getting really good results. And I, and I mean, that's really the main thing.
The main thing is I know I'm changing lives when people had no hope anywhere else. Yeah, so a little bit of a pivot, but I'd like to revisit your fighting days. I'm interested in that. What kind of fighting were you doing? Oh man, I started out just doing like the martial arts. I had a Korean Taekwondo teacher who is, he was a medalist in the 80s, 1980.
I know he went to the 1980 Olympics where that we boycotted because it was in Moscow or something like that. But, I'm thinking I'm getting my facts wrong, but he was really badass. And I had you know, I had different jobs, different apartments, different boyfriends, different cities, but I always stayed with that.
And it was kept me grounded. And I learned all that discipline. I, I was with that one instructor for like 10 years. And then I got into my black belt and I, I was going to go to my second degree, but I was like, you know what? I have no hand skills. My feet skills are awesome. Like I could do all these cool things, but like somebody jumps me.
So I got into other martial arts. I did some Muay Thai, did some Jiu Jitsu. I went to a Puerto Rican boxing gym. I did that for a couple of years. And then I just started doing some mixed martial arts. Where it was like, I want to call it like, We knew that we had real day jobs. So we didn't like break each other's faces.
We didn't go. Cause that's an easy, that's kind of like an ease, like a choke hold and like a broken nose. Those are like easy cop out moves. Like if you want to really show that you're good, you'll do some other kind of thing. Like me, I guess like an arm bar or whatever. So I used to do like underground, like Fights like, I guess, like by cloud.
Nice. That's awesome. Yeah, I did that until I was 31. Once I got into the physical therapy school and I was like, all right, I'm going to be spending like 200, 000 and I need to use my hands when I graduate. So, yeah. Yeah, time to hang up the gloves, but I I love it. And I've used it a few times. It's an invaluable skill.
Like I've, I had somebody try to grab cash out of my hand. This is before we had Apple pay and I did a wrist lock on him and he was like, you know, and I got all my cash back. Like he tried to take that, you know, so I use that. And then another time my girlfriend and I, we had, we were like at a martini bar.
And some guy followed us to our car and I did a low blow. I did. I kicked him in the nuts, but he crashed to the ground and we were able to get to our car safely. Wow. That's, that's pretty awesome. Yeah. I was not expecting the, the, the fighter side of you, Dr. Sarah Doyle, also a fighter. So that's awesome.
And, you know, talking about the physical therapy and rehab, it sounds like you had a lot of, you know, work satisfaction, job satisfaction, because you saw The recovery, you were a part of that and you saw people go from not being able to walk to being able to walk again. So I can't imagine a greater, you know, job satisfaction and joy than that.
Yeah, it was. And I, and I, I'm, I'm in my forties, so I can't keep doing like when you work in a hospital, you're doing heavy lifting. Like people used to ask me all the time, like what CrossFit gym do you go to? And I was like, no dude, I deadlift people who just had a stroke and they're like half paralyzed.
Like, right. Try that. Yeah. I can't my bat. I can't do that. Not with three car accidents. So I had a pivot into the functional medicine, which really feeds my soul because I saw so much disease that could have been prevented. Like, for example, one out of six Americans gets Alzheimer's that's type three diabetes.
Like, how can we prevent that? All these diseases start in midlife. That's why I'm so passionate about talking about my coaching program and trying to get In their forties and fifties. Cause yeah, you get diagnosed when you're seventies, but this disease is, it took 20 years to get there or more. So, you know, you start early and you don't have to be a burden to your family.
Like when you're in a hospital, let me tell you the number one thing people like, they felt ashamed. They felt like they were useless. They felt like they were a burden to their family. They didn't want anybody to visit them or see them that way. You know, it was a horrible way to spend the, you know, it's always like, if I can do anything to keep people from doing that, right.
By all means, like, you know, heart disease is the number one killer of men and women, one in four guys. One in five women, they'll die of a heart attack or a brain attack, a stroke, right? And a lot of this can be prevented just by keeping adequate sex hormone levels. You know, sex hormones are more about more than just having sex.
They, they protect your brain from Alzheimer's, like the estrogen receptors, protect the brain. You know, testosterone helps with movement. Like, like there's studies about people with Parkinson's, like men with Parkinson's getting testosterone injections and improving their mobility. Like, we are, we need to.
Sex is so taboo. Like you said, you didn't get any education in school till it was too late. Stop, talk and make it's not God gave it to us to procreate. He made it the best feeling thing ever. So we would keep doing it. So why are we, why do we have so much shame around it? Like we should, we need to talk about sex hormones.
We need to talk about how that all intertwines and protects us from disease. It should not be taboo. Like you should be able to go to your doctor at any age and be like, Hey, I want to check my sex hormones and get it covered by insurance. It shouldn't be like, Oh, well. You don't fit the profile. I don't think insurance is going to cover it.
Like all the time from people like, Oh, my doctor won't order it. My doctor won't get it. Like it's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. What I'm really interested in is seeing my generation and the younger generations. You know, we talk about how the food is messing with first sex hormones and just our hormones in general, but also pocket into political, there's a lot of.
injections happening. There's a lot of changes to people's bodies that are being done manually by humans. And to see if there's a huge wave of genetic consequences, biological consequences, whether it's some of the diseases you were talking about, that's going to be very interesting, a case study. And I'm sure people are going to try to pinpoint it to any other correlation they can.
But there's definitely just factual causations that happen. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Now I have I had a clinic, I just sold it in Miami beach and I had a partner, we did stem cells. So we used to take we used to, we still do, I'll still do work with people, but we can use the umbilical cords, the stem cells from a donor umbilical cords.
You can do great things with it. Like I had somebody, Who had a friend out of state. And she said, yeah, I know that so and so, caused me to have type one diabetes. That's the autoimmune one where your body just starts eating the, you know, eating the pancreas and you're, you know, so there are studies out there about the stem cells fixing it.
So we can use stem cells to help some of these things at any rate you can do. A stem cell and infusion like an IV infusion and that will if you do exosomes which are just a mess like the the messengers not the whole cell we don't use the whole cell in this country that's what they do abroad and that's what can have some risk of disease.
Because you're getting the DNA of somebody else and you do whole cell therapy. I don't know. Some people say yes. Some people say no. In this country, we don't, we just use the exosome or the Wharton's jelly from the coco cord. But if you use the exosomes, they can penetrate the blood brain barrier. There's a lot of studies at right now where they're using high doses of it to help with heart disease and neurodegenerative diseases.
So with regards to your, to the point you bring up, I think that stem cells are the future for that. I was in three car accidents and had really bad migraines myself. I have finally, I don't know why I didn't do this. Like, Oh, cause of money. I couldn't afford it. I didn't do it before, but I finally got the Wharton's jelly injection in my neck.
It was. I don't have the migraine, like I, I was debilitated with neck pain all the time, like seven out of 10 pain. And now it's like a two or three totally different. My, my migraines are markedly reduced. I couldn't be happier about like, you know, keeping my ties with the regenerative medicine because I think that is going to help a lot of problems.
Well, you brought up a great point there indirectly, which is, and you mentioned it earlier with the dentistry the absolutely ridiculous price of getting you know, surgeries done, medical treatments and all of this and that, you know, I think it's just, Ridiculous. I don't have prices available, but I know like these surgeries are costing thousands and thousands of dollars, sometimes you know, tens of thousands of dollars for something that, you know, it's, it's interesting.
How do we price the labor and knowledge of someone doing a surgery? And, you know, if, what, what will be interesting is if we replace. A lot of these surgeries with robotics and AI and the price stays the same is now they're going to say, Oh, well, the equipment's expensive and this is expensive. So what are we really saving there other than maybe time, but it's definitely shortage.
You know why is because these doctors get screwed over man. I see it like I see where these these residents like they get work like dogs and they're it's better than it used to be because they put some regulations in on how many hours they can work these kids. But yeah, like the wages have dropped. You know what?
They haven't kept up with inflation. The last hospital I worked at, they hadn't. It was during COVID. We finally were like, you have to raise our wages. They hadn't raised them since 2008. And after we put up like a big stink, like you're paying all these travelers X plus, you know, like double what we're making, they give us a 1 raise.
1. Are you kidding me? The price of housing in Florida has quadrupled in that time and you want to raise 1. Yeah, people simply can't afford to work in the health care system. It's Yeah, there's I have a friend who does surgeries and he gets mostly people from central and South America, but he stopped taking all insurances.
He's like, he's like, I can't even afford to take med. He stopped taking Medicare last year. I was listening to his video on like TikTok or Instagram. He's like, he's like, it pains me to do this, to turn people away. He's like, but I can't, he he's not in a hospital. He has his own standalone building. He's like, I can't cover my expenses with what Medicare is reimbursing.
Like I can't pay the anesthesia. Like I. Lose money when I use Medicare. So I have to use cash to, to cover my expenses. He's like, you know, I mean, it's South Florida. I know South Florida is more expensive than other markets, but you know, it's, it's a problem in healthcare. That's a whole nother thing. He wrote a book called healthcare from the trenches where there's a lot of different things.
And he was doing a podcast for a while, interviewing politicians, you know, trying to get some movement in the system, but that's a gorilla. With lobbyists and they will never ever it's like you're going to the whole insurance industry. I had you know, with the rise of blockchain and web three, I came across a company In Southeast Asia called Bamboo, B A M B U, I think, maybe they spelled it a little differently, but it was five countries.
They put their healthcare on the blockchain using wearables. And because diabetes is so rampant, there's something about the genetics, or maybe it's the lifestyle because they're working at night as virtual assistants for us. There's a huge predisposition for type two diabetes in Southeast Asia. Not even being overweight.
There's a lot of really thin people with type two diabetes in Southeast Asia. So their healthcare system is heavily burdened by that. So what they did is put the healthcare on the blockchain. That means Everything. I don't know if you know anything, if you own any crypto, but if you own or trade anything, every transaction is public.
You, so that saves them a lot of money and people get these incentives. The more they eat well, the more they shop. I mean, yeah, you're tracking your information. It's all on the blockchain, but you know, people get incentivized to take care of themselves better. I mean, you could do, I think putting healthcare on the blockchain would be helpful.
That saves money. There's there's a jurisdiction. And United Arab Emirates, not Dubai, but a similar city nearby. And they put all of their deeds to the houses, like essentially the clerk of courts on the blockchain. And they saved millions of dollars the first year. So now they're like expanding to more counties technology that's, you know, but I don't blockchain.
There's too many greedy people, the same people that create wars, right. Right. Countries are creating wars in our country on our wars on our bodies wars on our bank accounts Yeah, and there was actually a guy on, I don't watch the Joe Rogan podcast, but there was a guy talking about the insurance companies and the flow of money and how we're paying these tens of thousands of dollars, yet where is all that money going, right, because if it's not going to the nurses and doctors wages, You're talking about low wages and where are they going?
So it's definitely an interesting topic. And ladies and gentlemen, if you learned anything from today's episode, it's if you ever meet Dr. Sarah Doyle, don't get in a car with her. Three crashes. That's, that's a high crash rate. That's above average crash rate. None of them were my fault. I guess I'm bad luck.
You're a common denominator though. You know, I'm not saying you were driving. It's just, if you're in a car with you, it's a likely chance there's going to be a crash. Okay. It's Miami. Okay. Most people were not born in this country or the drivers. Yeah. Yeah. No, Miami's crazy. If you've ever like gone to like Columbia and seen the way they drive or look at like, that's that or Cuba.
Oh my God. Like it's crazy. It's, it's a war. It's a war. It's a jungle out there. I don't know. Southeast coast in general, because when I lived When I lived in South Carolina, I was like, these are the worst drivers ever. I moved to Virginia. I was like, these are even worse drivers. And then I moved to Georgia and it's fine until you have Florida drivers come in.
And then I go down and visit Florida all the time. And it's just, everyone drives fast and reckless, but if you're in Florida and you know that you just drive the same way and it's all fine, you know, the issue is, you know, As long as everyone's going fast, it's fine. But then if you have someone and that's, you know, I get it, but the issue with no, the left lane is 80 miles an hour or faster.
The speed limit and the middle is like, okay, somewhere in the middle, maybe 10, 20 miles over. I know. Yeah. Well, and everywhere I've lived at, I've, you know, cause I was always at military bases. Those are the worst places. Those areas, especially like Norfolk, where you've got seven different military bases or.
Even South Carolina, we've got joint air force and Navy. Like you said, there's people from all these different states and they just all drive differently, you know? And every state thinks that. They had the best drivers and you know, that the other states are the worst drivers. Have you been to Southcom in Doral here?
No. It's probably even worse than Malia. Yeah. But if you learn anything from me today is that you don't have to rely on prescriptions to get your mental health right.
