Digital Social Hour - The Shocking Truth About Organic Labels | Christine Bullock DSH #647

Starting point is 00:00:00 planning them in the next three years yeah that it's amazing it's the most amazing thing that i could have done with my life and i wasn't like a woman who was like i want kids i want kids but i now wish i would have started earlier wow that's kind of how i was in my teenage years i was like i would never have kids i think a lot of guys think that way in their teen years but now it feels like a good sense of purpose in life to have them all right guys just had the husband on now we got christine bullock on thanks for uh coming back to back yeah i'm so glad to be here and that he dragged me here too yeah it all worked out right yeah we were just talking about me of course your three babies and how how that's been raising them so it's cool to hear that because i'm having kids soon so oh good congratulations yeah well not yet but I'm planning them in the next three years yeah that it's amazing it's the

Starting point is 00:00:49 most amazing thing that I could have done with my life and I wasn't like a woman who was like I want kids I want kids but I now wish I would have started earlier wow that's kind of how I was in my teenage years I was like I would never have. I think a lot of guys think that way in their teen years, but now it feels like a good sense of purpose in life to have them. Absolutely. Yeah. I think, I mean, we had some fertility problems too going into it, but also I was focusing on my career and I think Bob mentioned, we didn't really come from a lot of money. And so, you know, we had to make some money and it was really focusing and I didn't know how it was going to fit in, um, to everything, but it will. That's what I tell women now. Don't worry about it. It will, you know, make it even better. So my most viewed podcast clip of all

Starting point is 00:01:33 time was about what you just said, fertility issues. It got like 17 million views. It's still going. And apparently, uh, it has to do with the guy most of the time. Did you know that? I heard that actually, uh, when your producers just told us about that because we were watching the clip. And the only thing is that I have a gene mutation, and I've had miscarriages as well, which is what I was talking about. A gene mutation is like MTHFR gene, I think, but it causes miscarriages. Really? So then I wonder how the sperm kind of interacts with that or if that's just the whole female thing. Yeah, I have that break too, but I don't know how it affects us differently since I'm a guy.

Starting point is 00:02:14 But yeah, I have that. Women just don't absorb folic acid correctly. And so most of the old vitamins didn't have the right form of folic acid. So now it's a little bit better because your body just naturally knows that the baby needs it within the first few weeks, a good dose of folic acid so now it's a little bit better because your body just naturally knows that the baby needs it within the first few weeks a good dose of folic acid and i think if you're not getting that yeah that's major and 50 of people have that one right that break yeah and people don't even know yeah i highly recommend everyone watching to take a gene test because that changed my life i had to cut out most bread because it has the folic acid in it yep Yep. And I didn't know until three miscarriages out too. Damn. Yeah. So it is great for women to be proactive and just start testing for these things when they're younger. So they know. Yeah. Also blood tests. Highly recommend those. I was

Starting point is 00:02:54 so deficient in certain things and I'm like, damn, I'm in my twenties. Like this is weird, right? Cause you just assume you're healthy. Absolutely. I mean, people ask me for health advice, nutrition advice, fitness advice all the time. And it's hard because it's really personalized to you and what your body is like. There are some common sense, general statements I can say that work for everybody, I think. But as you start to get specific and as you start to age and aging happens to you and to the body, you really need to understand your body specifically because mine is different from yours. So what we're going to be able to eat, consume, the fitness that we do,

Starting point is 00:03:31 the rejuvenation that we need, completely different. Right. You mentioned you didn't have a lot of money growing up. There's this debate that you need money to eat healthy these days. Where do you side on that debate? I think it's 50 50 can we do 100 organic or do i even want to do it no i can't so it's like a give or take if there's a peel on the outside of it and i can peel it off and i can give it a good wash then i'm going to not go organic there i'm going to spend my my money on the berries which are what like 20 for a few berries and they turn moldy right away. Yeah. But, um, you know, it is hard. And in the fact of all of the advanced things are out there, good supplements versus less quality supplements, it does take money, but you can gear into where you want to put your money on the most important things, I think. Right. So are you only eating organic right

Starting point is 00:04:25 now? No, absolutely not. We have three little kids and there is, we try not to waste food, but we do. And so, and I try to keep us on a budget. So again, um, you know, like avocados, I don't tend to buy organic cause I can peel them off or a banana. I don't tend to buy organic. Um, but the berries, uh. But the berries, like apples, that kind of stuff where we're going to eat the peel, yeah, I spend organic. On the meats and the fish, I'm a little bit more particular. So we look for 100% grass fed. You want to make sure it's 100% grass fed because if it's... As a B2B marketer, you know how noisy the ad space can be. If your message isn't targeted to the right audience,

Starting point is 00:06:15 It's grain. I forget what's. Grass finish. Grass finish or grain finish. Grain finish. You don't want grain finish because basically those animals or cows could have eaten grass once and they're just eating grain the whole time so it can say grass-fed and if it says grain finish you

Starting point is 00:06:31 don't want that 100% grass-fed grass finished um and then fresh fish as much as we can too but you know there's balance like sometimes they can't find the fish and so it's like all right we'll get you know the farm farm-raised fish There's so much manipulation in the food industry marketing. It's crazy, especially with the eggs and the meat and the vegetables. You've got to dodge a lot of bullets in that industry. It is, and there's just marketing put into it too. So I think you have to find produce that you like. I ship our meats directly from different farms,

Starting point is 00:07:02 and we just kind of have it in the freezer and ready to go. I've now found a new one for our fish so that I trust where I'm consuming it from and just try and balance everything else out. I mean, we eat fried chicken and french fries on the weekends with the kids and order the burgers out at the restaurants, you know, so we try and balance it out. Yeah. I need to start doing that because when I go to Trader Joe's, I'm not trying to call anyone out, but just the meat at the grocery stores is super sketchy. It's questionable. And I don't know where it's coming from. And I like to know where my farm is coming from.

Starting point is 00:07:34 Yeah. So you order from those Amish farms? Yeah. I don't exactly know where they are. I think one is actually up in Malibu near us in California. Yeah. I went to order off one a couple months ago and they got shut down. Oh, why? They sold raw milk and apparently you can't do that in certain states. I know in Cali it's fine because I was just at Erewhon and I bought some. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:07:54 Just tried it for the first time. Have you tried raw milk? No. Really? Well, we're dairy free. That is one thing I've been allergic to since a kid. And so all my kids are allergic to dairy. As a B2B marketer, you know how noisy the ad space can be. If your message isn't targeted to the right audience, it just disappears into the noise.

Yeah. Wow. Yeah. I don't know. There's a wave. There's this new health wave. And I think it's cool

Starting point is 00:09:28 because the average lifespan I just found out of males went from 79 to 72 the past 10 years. Yeah. I think for women as well, I unfortunately have had so many, I'm 42, girlfriends that are in their 30s and their 40s that have had cancers and other diseases come up, and we're seeing it in a much bigger wave. And it is what we're consuming. It's our foods. It's our skin care. It's our stress levels as well. It's the water that we're showering in, not just drinking, all over our biggest organ.

Starting point is 00:10:07 So it's just about finding as much balance as you can and the little things that you can to help out. A shower head that helps to filter that kind of stuff out. The food, obviously, as much as you can. Supplements that are going to help to detox you. Things that help to detox you lymphatic hot um hot saunas that kind of stuff cold plunging helps to improve the lymphatic so balancing is like for consuming some chemicals even if you're not trying to trying to enable the body and teach the body how to flush that out as fast as possible too

Starting point is 00:10:42 yeah wow please send me that shower head i actually had to stop taking baths because of the tap water issue. Yeah. I used to love baths as a kid, but just the more I find out about the tap water, it's so disgusting. I mean, we put so much money into our water too. And yet, yeah, you have to sit, think for as much as you drink per day, you just take one shower and your body's just absorbing all of that water that you're showering in, in your biggest organ. Yeah. Plus all the stuff you're putting on your body in the shower, like the body wash, the shampoo and conditioner. It's huge. Yeah. Usually the shower gels have like sulfates in them. A lot of the, I don't want to say cheaper ones, but I say like mass brands have the parabens, some phthalates within the fragrances,

Starting point is 00:11:28 all these things disrupt our hormones and are carcinogenic as well. Yeah. And now I'm finding out even the nicer brands, like I use Native, but now I'm finding out there's microplastics in that. So it's- This is a whole new, that is the biggest thing that I've been hearing about is all the microplastics and that so it's this is a whole that is the biggest thing that i've been hearing about is all the microplastics everywhere yeah it's literally everywhere i had a heart surgeon on and now he's finding them in hearts there's plastic visible pieces of plastic in people's hearts right now yeah it's the biggest thing that i'm not even sure where to start with because it's within you know soils oceans all that kind of stuff's like, what do we need to do? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:12:13 And now I made the switch to glass, but I found out yesterday that the glass water company I use, Spring Valley Mountain Water, I get the five gallons delivered to the house. That's what we do. Has fluoride in it and other stuff. No. So now I have to switch from that. It seems like you're just constantly. Yeah. Please tell me what's next because I've loved Mountain Valley. I'll send you that video.

Starting point is 00:12:23 It made me really upset. They were bought out, I think, a while, a few years ago. And that's what happens in the food industry. Yeah. They buy out the healthy, small boutique brands, and then they cheapen the products, the ingredients. Yeah, and all of the industries I've been in, it's been really sad to see. That's terrible.

Starting point is 00:12:40 It's hard to keep up. Coming from also creating a skincare brand before. That is one of the things that was so sad to see is that as you grow, it's amazing, right? The money comes in. Let's say somebody even wants to buy you out, but either they buy you out or they don't or you're doing it on your own. You have to keep up with the financial needs of the company. And a lot of times it's cheaper ingredients, less of the ingredient that's put in there.

Starting point is 00:13:10 So you don't have the amount needed to actually work in, in the terms of what marketing they're giving you on that ingredient. Right. And you know, yeah, it's sad. It's super sad. And so many girls are using makeup that they don't know how toxic

Starting point is 00:13:26 it is for makeup really is i feel like i still and you know i'm culprit to it i still probably use makeup that has bad ingredients in it that's from mass market because i like my makeup but my skincare i go clean so the lotion and moisturizer but one day they'll make really good quality makeup that's really clean it's just hard to find I'll be a billion dollar brand if they can pull that off. They could figure out the margins and the products because there is a shift, I think. I think some women are starting to realize. We have to. We have to. I mean, it really is affecting our health. Yeah. And now there's this whole thing with sunscreen. So all the sunscreen we used growing up is now cancerous. It's a chemical versus a mineral block. And it's interesting because i've worked in beauty for 20

Starting point is 00:14:05 years and i when i learned that a chemical sunscreen was bad and this was probably eight ten years ago it blew my mind i was like wait but it's called a chemical sunscreen why didn't i ever process that it's literally called chemicals that's true but it is it's ruining like our coral reef all that sunscreen that's going on. It's killing off the oceans. So if it's killing off the oceans, what is it doing to us? So bad. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:14:32 So we want a mineral block. You want something that has zinc oxide. Zinc oxide. Are there like sunscreens that just have that? Yep. Absolutely. They're the heavier ones that are really white, but they're doing great things with them and adding some other ingredients in them to kind of diminish that kind of paste that it leaves on the skin.

Starting point is 00:14:50 Nice. I got to look into that. Now deodorant, too. All the Gillette I use. I'm trying not to name drop because I don't want to get sued. But all the deodorant I used to buy from Costco, I can't use anymore. That's a huge one. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:15:02 I see most of the beauty brands now that are cleaner are actually launching deodorants too. But the problem is they're not really antiperspirants because that's one of the hardest things. So I also still haven't gotten on that bandwagon and I know I need to. I made the switch. I don't know what the brand Tom's I think. Oh yeah. But even that there's videos. It's like a never ending thing, you know know you can't get it perfect yeah you can't and it is just about balancing i mean it's kind of like common sense i think you just go back to what we were like in the olden days we like lived off of basics so as basic as we can be in that like applying deodorant maybe once a day um basic skincare don't need too much. Again, same thing, even makeups, your foods, just consuming as healthy as we can. Hot foods that are so nourishing to us, obviously plants,

Starting point is 00:15:56 vegetables, fruits, all that kind of stuff. It's so easy. Even potatoes, starches, all that kind of stuff, but in their whole form, right? Not boxed, not processed. So good for us. Yeah. Yeah. These beauty companies have done an excellent job of making it seem like you need to use their products daily. Yeah. I don't think so. Absolutely not. We didn't need to before. I think it's more about actually internally where we're at. I think stress, our cortisol levels is really what is maturing us, aging us from the inside out, causing these diseases. When we're stressed, we also make bad choices. So the more that we can just take moments, and this is free to be able to do this, to re-communicate with what our body needs, find out what our body needs, you know, be in tune with when you're in tune with yourself too. Like you don't make those choices of, I'm going to pick up this process chips right now. I'm going

Starting point is 00:16:50 to go chop an apple. I am hungry or I'm not even hungry right now. I'm actually thirsty and dehydrated. Um, I think we just make better choices. I definitely agree. Stress is a killer. And I know it is cause I went through this. was talking to your husband Robert about my first lawsuit I had gray hairs at 21 yeah from that lawsuit yeah and that is crazy because my family's pretty healthy like we don't usually get gray hair still 60s yeah I can imagine I've been through that as well and luckily I was still stressed and my husband was still my lawyer so I understand that too but recently I had a baby with colic. She's my third kid too. And I had two surgeries that year. And it was the first time I just got a big gray chunk right there too.

Starting point is 00:17:30 Damn. Yeah. That is crazy. Colic. Yeah. That is nuts, man. Yeah. Six months of crying pretty much all day long.

Starting point is 00:17:39 Holy crap. All night long. Six months. Four hours of sleep. Damn. I'm glad you got through that. Yeah. I am too. And stay married. Yeah. Damn. I'm glad you got through that. Yeah, I am too.

Starting point is 00:17:45 And stay married. Yeah, that's awesome. Because a lot of divorces these days. I just had on a relationship expert last week. 50% divorce rate right now. It's crazy. I mean, we have a really great relationship. We balance everything.

Starting point is 00:17:58 We're friends. I mean, we balance the kids. We balance the work. If he's more busy than I know, I have to take a step back. If I am, he knows he has to take a step back. Um, but we're always there for the kids. I mean, that's our number one priority and then taking time for ourself too.

Starting point is 00:18:15 Yeah. That's important. Right. Going on those date nights. Yeah. Yeah. I stopped doing those for years and I'm glad we brought it back this year. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:23 You have to, you You need moments together, even if you're just talking about work. I mean, that's what we like to do, but we're passionate about what we do. Getting out there and seeing friends and stuff like that and just having moments, especially when you do have kids. You have to, because they're constantly the focus.

Starting point is 00:18:42 No matter what, you're holding their hands instead of holding each other's hands and you're exhausted by the end of the evening too. So you're holding their hands instead of holding each other's hands and you're exhausted by the end of the evening too. So you're just like, peace. Good night. Yeah. I got two dogs. I wouldn't say they're as big as kids, but we, we spoiled them. They might be the most spoiled dogs in the world. What kind of dogs? Australian shepherd and golden retriever. Oh, beautiful. Yeah. I mean, I spend at least eight hours a day with them. I literally work on my laptop and they're on my chest. They're your best buds, you know?

Starting point is 00:19:06 That's what dogs are. Dogs are a game changer, man. I used to have bad anxiety and not anymore. Oh, that's awesome. We have two dogs. They're pretty old and a bunny. Don't do the bunny. Why not?

Starting point is 00:19:18 I mean, they're really sweet. Well, if you have any allergies, which we have all through our house, definitely not a wise idea. And they poop a idea. Yeah. And they poop a lot. Okay. Yeah, I got my fiance a hamster and I didn't know she was allergic to them. Hamsters, I've never heard that too.

Starting point is 00:19:32 That was awkward. It was probably similar, yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I had no idea, but she liked it so much we kept it. Yeah, my husband's allergic to the bunny and so are my girls. Wow. I don't have any allergies. I'm blessed.

Starting point is 00:19:43 Yeah. I could eat whatever I want. That's good. I mean, and that it's actually amazing because it means you have a really good digestive system. Um, because a lot of our allergies that we're seeing, you know, it's a lack of something in our digestive system, whether it's external allergies that we're having or internal to foods and stuff like that. So I'll be pounding those kombuchas, those GTs. You ever see those? Yeah.

Starting point is 00:20:07 Oh my gosh. I don't know if that's why it's a good digestive tract, but. Potentially. Just watch the sugar. Yeah. Oh, do they add sugar to those? Well, there's just sugar naturally in them. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:20:17 But what's your take on like eating fruit, a bunch of fruit, like natural sugars? I think natural sugars are good. I mean, it depends on what your goals are but i think for anybody that's just trying to be healthy you know i don't even say maintain weight like who cares about that it's those are the sugars you want you don't want any the processed foods yeah i avoid those i used to eat frozen food all the time i had to cut pretty much all of it out and the canned food too.

Starting point is 00:20:48 They just add so much things you can't even pronounce on them. I'm like, I'm good. Even the soups, it's so sad because soups are, you know, that's what they said. Grandma said you needed, you know, chicken soup because it was a bone broth and it really was there to help you. But the processed canned chicken soups are completely void of those kinds of nutrients anymore. I grew up on those chunkies, man. Yeah. My dad used to pound those. Yeah. New England clam chowders, chicken noodle soup. Those were good. I think they were even better quality at that point though. Probably. Cause they taste younger than I am. Maybe at my time. No, I agree though. Cause they, I've had them recently and they don't taste as good. Yeah. Oh, for sure. Everything's changed. It's going to be made

Starting point is 00:21:23 the cheapest way possible. Yeah. There's, there. Everything's changed. It's going to be made the cheapest way possible. Yeah. There's actually a soil epidemic. So in 20 years, our soil will have no nutrients at the rate we're going. Yep. That's sad. I have no fix for that currently. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:21:35 So on a mass market. Go talk to my husband about lawmaking. Yeah. We're going to need something. I mean, all the weird shit they're putting in the tap water too. Yeah. And again, it's a cycle, right? So if my skincare has it and I wash off my skincare within the shower and hair dye and all that other stuff and it goes down, guess what?

Starting point is 00:21:55 It goes into the soils and through the rains and we consume again. So people are drinking your beauty product. Mine was clean that I made. So we're okay. Yeah. Wow. Yeah. Are you still doing your podcast? I took a break right now because of the screaming baby and my other kids needed some support as well. But I'm excited to get back to at one point. Nice. Yeah. We were geared in. We were like 20, 30 minute episodes on health related with experts, but we would gear into like one topic. So if we're going to talk about inflammation or if my doctor's a functional expert, we just talk

Starting point is 00:22:33 about inflammation only with him. I don't go all, you know, to hit a bunch of different things. So you can take out the bite-sized facts and apply it to your life immediately. I love that. I love when podcasts are so actionable because some of them are so hypothetical that it's hard to figure out where to take action. Yeah, and there's so much to do that you get really confused, at least for me. Overwhelming. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:22:53 Yeah, I feel that. Sometimes I'll be in the car and I'm like, I need to do this right away. Yeah, but then how do you apply it, right? Sometimes it's like so big, some of the changes that you need to make. So we say, okay, start here and then you can build

Starting point is 00:23:05 up to an anti-inflammatory diet, whatever it may be. Absolutely. Are you still doing yoga too? I'm still doing yoga. I actually, I wasn't for a while, but I've, I started back, but I do everything. I've been in fitness for 20 years. So I started teaching yoga 22 years ago or more. Wow. And, um, and then Pilates, but I would throw big tires, whip the chains and the ropes and all that kind of stuff throughout my career. So I believe in a mix of all of it. I think that when you work the body in the same way over and over again, whether it be yoga, whether it be Pilates, whether it be running, as you age, you are literally using your joints and the same muscles over and over again. So I like to mix it up. One, it's great for your metabolism.

Starting point is 00:23:48 Two, it's great for your muscle mass, for your bone, for your mental well-being, learning something new, too, and challenging yourself in that way. I really think about fitness as, I don't like the word anti-aging, but internally what am I doing for myself here? Not like weight loss, six pack, all that kind of stuff. Right. I agree with that. I've never done Pilates actually.

Starting point is 00:24:12 It's on my bucket list. I think it's amazing. I think it could be in everybody's list of things. I honestly like it better than yoga. Yoga ends up repeating a lot of the same movements on the joints. We think about the planes that we move in. And until you really advance in it, you don't get those kind of like, I don't want to say 360 for your joints, 180, whatever, all that mobility. Because we move in the same planes over and over again.

Starting point is 00:24:37 Like think how many chaturangas you do. It's also usually a group class and you don't have a personalized instructor helping to assist in your body posture. So there's a lot of injuries that happen pilates on the other hand you can do a mat pilates you're typically not you're on your back instead of on your shoulders so much so you don't have as many injuries it's a little bit more flexibility um and more mobility within the spine i feel like in more beginner postures. And then you have the machines, which are amazing. So, again, if you like to play basketball, which I heard, and sports,

Starting point is 00:25:11 I think every athlete should have it. I used to train some of the professional athletes for football players. Oh, nice. And, yeah, I'd kick their butts. I need to get into that because I had a nasty injury during a hot yoga i mean it was embarrassing i damn near crawled out of that room yeah and i was the only guy there was like 20 girls what did you injure i like pulled my neck and back honestly yeah it hurt for like two weeks i love the hot but you have to be really careful and you have to realize you're

Starting point is 00:25:40 not getting the workout you think you are you're just it's really hot. So hot. And so I kind of go and just do my flexibility. And that's where I started out teaching was hot yoga many, many years ago, doing the flexibility, but understanding like with these really hot, high intensity classes too, that they're doing, it's like a high intensity yoga. Like I'm more chill in it. It's like about me finding my mental focus and some people are going at it, but it's just you're not going to get the tone out of your body, you know, all of that kind of stuff. And you can easily get injured. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:12 I'm going to not do hot yoga for now. Yeah. Or just wait until you find out what it is or, you know, repair. I mean, that's the thing is we age and we get, you know, I've had so many from being in fitness for so long, so many injuries. So I'm all about my repair era, as they say yeah recovery era i'm a big sauna guy though i love saunas so good for you the cold baths i don't love it but i love it i'm a cold shower guy i can't get on board with the baths yeah tap water yeah oh oh always tap water in those things i don't know uh just a bath in my house at

Starting point is 00:26:46 least oh is there like a professional goal yeah got it there's a place near us called pause and so they have like the sauna and the cold plunge which is nice so you can go into the sauna go into the cold plunge knowing you're gonna get back out and get into the sauna again so it's like i know some lifetimes have that but not the the one in Henderson, unfortunately. Yeah. Oh, that's so good for your body and the inflammation. Yeah. Inflammation is key. I used to be able to play a game of basketball and just not be sore at all. But now that I'm getting older, I actually get sore now. It's crazy. Yeah. Taking it for granted. Yeah. Stretching, I think mobility, if you're doing that kind of stuff too. They have a lot of the, and not to specifically say, well, the stretch locations,

Starting point is 00:27:25 I'll say, cause I don't want to call it one place, but you just have to be careful because these people aren't really, they're not like physical therapists. So they can overstretch. I get ads for that all the time. Yeah. They can overstretch you. There's a lot of different places now popping up that do that, which it's amazing. We need, we need the flexibility, but, and without flexibility, we can't create strength, strength right if you have a tight muscle it can't do anything yeah so um but you just have to be careful too because there's people again it's not as much education in there right what's your take on chiropractors because i got a buddy that works in the er he said once a week in vegas someone's coming there from a chiropractor oh my gosh well again it's the quality of the person that you go to i think that goes with

Starting point is 00:28:04 anything right doctors fitness classes instructors, whoever it may be. I think finding someone that's good. I mean, I've found in my past, chiropractic for me is great. Like I have scoliosis. And so, and I'd be on set 12, 14 hours a day working out on camera, right? In cold in this and that and like i need a quick adjustment and it will help but then i have to go fix the muscular issue that's going on or tendon if you've pulled something or something like that because without without fixing that portion of it it's just going to keep pulling on the spine whatever you're adjusting your neck all of that yeah so i have that too, scoliosis. Yeah. There's no fix for it, right? I think there's two different kinds.

Starting point is 00:28:49 Like one you can actually improve and that's the kind I have. And so it's a constant journey for me. Like once you have kids and holding kids, it adds to all of it. Or, you know, even looking down at them, holding in this way. So again, in my repair era right now, trying to fix three kids in a row, they did them more damage than all the fitness did, I think. Wow. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:29:13 That is crazy. But it is good. I mean, you find a really good massage therapist and just somebody that understands you. There are now some chiropractors that are almost like a physical therapy background, so they don't adjust as much. But they do a lot of the scraping and the tools because yeah, as we get scar, we get scar tissue. Our muscles are pretty easy to just kind of massage and loosen up, but the fascia that wraps around the muscle fibers or the bigger muscle bands and all of that,

Starting point is 00:29:41 that creates scar tissue. If that tightens up, then that creates scar tissue. And the only way to go in is really scraping at it and opening that up, hydrating yourself with great water, hyaluronic acid, all that kind of stuff to rehydrate all of it. Dang, that sounds painful. And get mobile and feel good again. Yeah. Do you do a lot of massages? Recently, I have. Yeah. Because I tore my chest muscle twice last year. And this is the third

Starting point is 00:30:12 time because I did it years ago too. So they stitched up, I have stitches into my rib all the way up to my clavicle and around. But I feel like part of the reason was my tight back and my scoliosis from holding the kids. Because I wasn't doing any fitness at the time still when it tore again. So, yes, right now I'm just trying to fix myself so I can be the best mom I can be, best business owner, best wife I can be. Because if you're not feeling good, and it's a downhill spiral. If you don't feel good, right, we keep reaching for the worst things. Wow, that sounds painful.

Starting point is 00:30:47 My cousin tore his pec bench pressing once, and the whole right side of his body was purple. Oh, yeah. It looked nasty. Yeah, it's only big fitness guys do have the injury that I have. Yeah, I've never spilt a girl. Yeah, I know. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:31:00 Originally, it was fitness related, yeah. Wow, that is crazy. Well, Christine, it's been fun. Anything you want to— We'll end with that. Yeah, we might have to do it's been fun. Anything you want to- And with that. Yeah, we might have to do a part two, but anything you want to close off with or promote? No, just thank you for having me on, Sean.

Starting point is 00:31:12 Again, you're doing such a great job educating people and I love listening to your podcast too and just getting all the information. Thanks so much. It means a lot. Thanks for watching, guys, as always. That was fun and I'll see you next time.
