One thing I absolutely cannot stand about bras and panties is when they dig

into your sides. On the top girls you know what I'm talking about when you get that little muffin flap in the back and then on the bottom when it digs into your hip. Absolutely drives me insane. Can't stand it. But with skims that never happens and that is why I'm obsessed with skims. Because they're t-shirt bras, I don't get any lumps or bumps, and their panties, oh my goodness. Their panties are perfect. The material just lays flat on your body,

smooth, never bunches up, never cuts in, increases in your hips. It's my favorite. Their Fits Everybody thong is for everybody. She is for the streets, I promise you. I'm telling you, all the girlies, you need to go and get these panties because these are the ones I wear every day, daily.

I have some on right now as we speak. I also am wearing a t-shirt bra right now and it is the most comfortable bra that I own. It's my go-to. I literally hang it on my doorknob in my closet so that I just grab it and slap it on before I go anywhere. And don't get me started on the online Demi bra. That one is perfect.

It doesn't have wire underneath it, but yet you still get like pushed up and held and it's just like an all day wear. I just can't listen. If you guys can't tell, I absolutely love Skims. So please go get you some Skims. Shop Skims best intimates, including the fits everybody collection

Today I have you guys' and my favorite holistic nurse practitioner, Ms. Dani Williamson in the house, baby. So glad to be here. So excited, long overdue. Dude, last episode we had went bonkers. Everybody is obsessed with you. Really? Oh yeah, they love you.

They love you. They love your hair. They love your aura. They love your spirit. They love it all. Like we, you are probably one of the most requested comeback guests that I have. I had no idea.

Well, thank you. Well, you know, I'm a common sense practical medicine country kid, right? From Gilbert's field, Kentucky, who just happens to have done pretty well. Yeah. You know? I'm so proud of her too.

As a nutrition practitioner, it's common sense, right? Yeah. A lot of it is. Yes, I'm so proud of you. For those of you who want to know Dani's entire story, we did that the last time she was on the podcast, so you can go check out that episode. This episode is gonna,

we're gonna really like dive into some things, like a lot of you guys on my Patreon asked questions. I have questions for Dani. There's things Dani wants to talk about. So we're gonna talk about a lot of it. And Dani, you brought your book with you. Let's plug that really quick too. Yes, yes. Wild and Well. Wild and well. It's a great book.

It is, isn't it? It's Common Sense Practical Medicine. I wrote it so that everyone from a country kid to a Harvard educated person could read it and say, Whoa, whoa, if I was born healthy, I don't have to live sick. And I can turn this around. And I am living proof after turning around 24 years of chronic lifestyle diseases and I can turn this around. And I am living proof after turning around 24 years of chronic lifestyle diseases that you can turn anything around. Yeah. Right?

It's very simple, but it's not easy. You gotta- As you know. Yeah, you have to really want, like I feel like a lot of people are like, I just wanna feel better, I wanna get better. But then when they're given the protocols, people don't want to put the work in.

It's almost like they want their health to magically heal on their own without doing the work. That's exactly right. But because by nature, we are pretty, we want things the easy way. Well, this is not easy. It's not easy. It's real simple though.

Garbage in equals garbage out, right? For me, you have to heal the gut. You have to eat well, sleep well, move well, poop well, de-stress well, you need to commune well. But for me, after seeing doctors for 24 years, I also had to address the childhood trauma. And most of my patients do. And actually my patient's healing

has gone through the roof. Once I learned about childhood trauma. Well, you and I've talked about this for hours. And when the body definitely keeps score. And for me, it manifested itself in the gut. Many of my patients though, it manifests itself in the thyroid because this is your fifth chakra here. This is your voice. And many of these women, mainly I see women, many of these women who had childhood trauma, they lose their voice or they feel like they don't have a voice.

So they have thyroid issues, thyroid cancer, thyroid nodules, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and this is your voice. And once we get their voice back and we get their thyroid working better and we address the trauma, it's amazing to watch these patients' lives just blossom. Mimi was actually just diagnosed with Hashimoto's. Mimi? Really?

Where's the microphone? That's my focus. That's what I do. Where's your microphone, Mimi? Yeah. It's the number, Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the number one undiagnosed autoimmune disease In the United States because it is an autoimmune disease, right? It's an autoimmune disease of the thyroid and I don't have Hashimoto's my trauma my childhood trauma manifested itself an irritable bowel syndrome That's my problem, which we'll talk about but I definitely want to get into the Hashimoto's thing Yes, Mimi if you have any questions for her, but I do know that like online,

a lot of people are being diagnosed with this and I never even knew about it. So I want you to kind of dive in about Hashimoto's, but also about the link from childhood trauma into autoimmune disease. Can we start there? Yeah, absolutely. So we know that there's a huge link between childhood trauma and autoimmune disease. Can we start there? Yeah, absolutely. So we know that there's a huge link

between childhood trauma and autoimmune disease. And I think I don't remember the statistics off the top of my head on autoimmune disease with it. But if you have a childhood, an adverse childhood experience score of four or more, you have a 1200% greater likelihood of dying by suicide. Can you believe that? Yeah, what test is this? That's the ACE Questionnaire, the Adverse Childhood Experience Questionnaire, the 10-question test that we did on the very first

visit with you. And it talks about trauma, talks about physical abuse, mental abuse, It talks about physical abuse, mental abuse, abandonment. It's 10 questions, not perfect, developed by the CDC and Kaiser Permanente out in California, and addressing what happens to you before the first 18 years, right? So we know that what happens to you before the first 18 years of life can set you up for a lifetime of chronic disease

and autoimmune disease and drug addiction. And you set a score of how much or higher? Four or higher set you up for 1200% higher rate of suicide, 390% higher rate of pulmonary lung disease, 200 to 400% higher rate of drug use. It's greater than six, which I'm a six. You have a decreased lifespan by 20 years. And the list goes on and on and on.

And it's not a perfect test. And it's in the book, like I have it in the book, but you can also get it online for free. It's a good starting point for your childhood because I spent 24 years seeing doctors. I know you've spent years seeing doctors. No one ever asked me, Danny, what happened to you before the age of 18? It's not normal to poop your pants every time you eat almost to have to know where the bathroom is at every restaurant that you go to. That's not

normal. Something's going on. And again, I grew up with a child molester first stepfather, one that beat me up. My mother was mentally ill. My grandfather died by suicide. That's not uncommon. I mean, we know that 67 to 75% of the population have this kind of childhood trauma.

Yeah. And I mean, I feel like everybody has some sort of childhood trauma. Yeah. I mean, I feel like everybody has some sort of childhood trauma. Even if you had the quote unquote perfect childhood. It's very rare that I get someone come in the office and they say, oh yeah, my childhood was phenomenal. Danny, I'm just here. Just check my labs.

I feel great or whatever. I mean, very rare do I have someone who said, yeah, I had the Mayberry childhood. Very rare. So childhood trauma manifests into autoimmune disorder, well, manifests into tons of things in your body. I, everybody on the podcast knows, have a problem with pooping.

I cannot poop to save my life. So you went the opposite way, right? You didn't open up like I did, like chronic diarrhea. You clamped down constipation. My butthole puckered. Your butthole puckered because you never knew. I love that. I'm sure my nurse practitioner school is like, oh my Lord, Danny, this is not medical.

Your butthole puckered, whereas mine opened up, right? Because you never knew when the trauma was going to happen, right? And you hold on, you hold onto that. And it's fascinating. And I went to OnSight, you know, I went to OnSight for a week and spent a week at OnSight doing intense trauma therapy. And that took my healing to a whole nother level.

But again, everyone manifest their trauma into something different. But the thyroid is a huge one for women. Huge for women. And that is Hashimoto's, right? Hashimoto's thyroiditis. And women have autoimmune disease eight to 10 times more than men do. Eight to 10 times.

That's crazy. Now we are also the most toxic, right? The lotion, the makeup, the hair color, the tampons. Tampons are a huge problem for women. And, and- We've been screaming this and now it's finally viral on TikTok that they have lead in the tampons. We just had a study come out, yes,

with the lead in it and heavy metals in it. We've been talking about this for years. You and I have, and, and I didn't know that. I put Roundup in bleach in my vagina for 35 years. I I had no idea I have a great education. I wear diapers now. I wear diapers now. I have another patient who wears diapers as well. I love it. I will fucking diaper it up no matter fucking how heavy I am. You can wear like you know how the pad you used to go through pads and I would go through because I'm heavy I would go through multiple multiple pads diapers I used to go through pads and I would go through, because I'm heavy, I would go through multiple, multiple pads.

Diapers, I literally go through like maybe three my entire period. Are you serious? Yes. Well, I never got an opportunity to try the diaper situation and I also never got an opportunity to use a menstrual cup. No, those always freaked me out because anything that goes inside of me hurts me.

So I've never was brave enough to do it. Tampons even hurt me. Really? Yeah. Well tampons, I can see why, because again, we know cotton is one of the most toxic crops in the United States. It has more glyphosate sprayed on it

than pretty much any other crop. And then they take that roundup ready cotton you're getting ready to put in your vagina for decade after decade, and they bleach it with Clorox bleach. Clorox bleach and roundup in your vagina and you wonder why you have heavy periods and cramping and clotting and PCOS and endometriosis and just can't get out of the bed. So a cup, a menstrual cup, my patients swear by a menstrual cup. I never got to use it. I don't know. I think it takes a minute to get it right.

But again, autoimmune disease in women is a, it's a toxic burden. And I tell women this, I wasn't born with lupus, which I have, I wasn't born with fibromyalgia. Say you had MS or you weren't born with MS or you weren't born with rheumatoid arthritis. We turn that on, turn that on. And that through decades of dysfunction, most people do.

Now there's genetic component to it, right? But as a rule, it's allostatic load. And just like with Mimi, I don't know the reason for the Hashimoto's, but you know, there's probably decades of stress and maybe bad food, I don't know, perfume, makeup, all the things you put in your thyroid, look what you do for a living, right? We're breathing in this nose, or through the nose, here's the nose, here's the thyroid. There's a

proximity issue to these chemicals as well. And so it's like the straw that broke the camel's back, it just builds up, builds up. It's, I tell patients, it's not the one time you drive through Chick-fil-A and eat a chicken sandwich, right? It's the decades of driving through fast food or, you know, chronic stress. And then it builds up and boom, it tips over and it's like herding cats trying to get them all back in, trying to get it all back together. And it's difficult. I know I spent 24 years seeing doctors, 10 doctors before a doctor looked at me and said, what are you eating? You know, and.

Is there a way to reverse Hashimoto's? Cause I've been studying for Mimi to try to figure out like something we could do, but I wanted to wait. This is my specialty. What was the first thing I told you? Yeah, she goes, you're going to see Danny. Like, what's happening? Yeah, like as soon as she got-

So we reverse it every month in the office. And I get patients who come in, who they're endocrinologists, tell them, oh, there's nothing you can do about it. We don't ever need to check your thyroid antibodies again. You're never going to be able to lower those antibodies. So what happens with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, you have these thyroid antibodies that quote unquote,

it's attacking the thyroid, right? Like with me with lupus, it attacks my joints. And so, but it's really not attacking it, but it's an inflammatory response. Hashimoto's thyroiditis, vasculitis, thyroiditis, gastritis, colitis, itis means inflammation. So it's an inflammatory response where the thyroid is inflamed, right? Not the prostate, not the joints, it's the thyroid that's inflamed.

So you cool it down just like you do any other autoimmune disease, right? And yes, you can reverse it. Yes, you can bring those antibodies down. What's the number one trigger for Hashimoto's food-wise? Number one trigger for Hashimoto's to raise those antibodies up. Gut health? Well, gluten, gluten, number one food.

Yes, well, your gut health, yes. Gluten is the number one inflammatory agent for Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I feel like gluten is... Gluten cross reacts with those thyroid antibodies, creating an inflammatory response in that thyroid. So the first thing that you do as a patient of mine, in any book you read on Hashimoto's, you cut gluten out immediately.

And your doctors just say, there's no research on that. That's bullshit. There are decades of research, Mimi, on gluten and thyroid and dairy and thyroid. Gluten and dairy. I asked my patients to go gluten and dairy free to start bringing down the inflammatory response in the thyroid. And we watched those thyroglobulin antibodies come down and those thyroid peroxidase antibodies come down. So your people who are listening, if they're just getting a TSH checked,

a thyroid stimulating hormone checked, they need a new provider because that's only like one fifth of the labs that you need checked to check your thyroid properly. TSH, free T3, free T4, which we check on you all the time. Those are my favorite. Those are your free thyroid hormones that are circulating around there active,

and then your thyroid peroxidase antibodies and your thyroglobulin antibodies. Not everybody has both of those positive for Hashimoto's, but 90% of the people who have Hashimoto's have a positive thyroid peroxidase antibody. Wow. So I have a question. Mimi has no tonsils and she has had strep throat probably six times this year. And is that caused from the Hashimoto's? No, that's a that's a strep infection going on in you. Some sort of

chronic strep infection. So no tons, some sort of chronic strep infection. Yeah, I have no tonsils. I haven't had them in years. Six times in a year I have now gotten strep. So I'm just like, I literally feel like I'm living on antibiotics. Right. Which is so bad for your gut. Which is absolutely not destroying the gut, but creating even more of a leaky gut. So I wondered if that caused an issue with the thyroid because I'm on so many antibiotics for so long.

It could because it's an inflammatory response, just like childbirth. So a lot of women who deliver babies, they didn't have Hashimoto's before, but after childbirth, it's called postpartum thyroiditis. Wow. So they have thyroid antibodies present then, afterwards, sometimes up to 18 months after we'll have positive antibodies.

So you had some sort of trauma and that very well could be. What did that? She has a three-year-old. The problem is we don't know, did you have Hashimoto's before? So did anybody check your labs? And this is where we have a disconnect in the medical field. We don't check thyroid antibodies, you know this. I check a lot of labs and either rule in

or rule out Hashimoto's thyroiditis when you walk through that door. Do you have it or you don't? I was checked right before my daughter was born and I was put on levothoraxin because they said I'd hypothyroidism during the infertility treatments. And they were like, maybe that's causing infertility problems. So I was put on the levothoraxin right before my daughter.

And then they took me off of it while I was pregnant. And then after I had her, my levels equaled out, and they were like, we don't feel like you should be put back on it. OK. But you were hypothyroid, which is completely different than Hashimoto's thyroiditis. What's the difference? So it's two different disease processes, not disease, but hypothyroidism is hypothyroid, a sluggish thyroid, right? Your thyroid stimulating hormone is rising.

You're not making enough thyroid hormones, so it keeps pumping up, popping up. The thyroid stimulating hormone, so you have a high TSH. That's hypothyroid. Hashimoto's thyroiditis is a completely different thing. You can be hypothyroid for decades and never have Hashimoto's, never, never. But you can also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis

and never be hypothyroid. So I have a whole group of patients who have Hashimoto's, but their thyroid works fantastic. They're not hypothyroid. So I have a whole group of patients who have Hashimoto's, but their thyroid works fantastic. They're not hypothyroid. They don't need to be on medication, on thyroid hormone. Levothyroxine, which this is something else your tribe needs to know. If you're taking generic thyroid medicine,

that's the one, there are three medications I would never use generic thyroid medicine, seizure medication and blood thinner. Those medications need to be spot on every single month to keep your levels, your blood levels normal. So I don't prescribe generic thyroid medicine. Were you on Synthroid or generic levothyroxine? Just the levothyroxine, just that's all it is. Just sounds like, I feel like Western medicine just throws a pill at everything.

Everything. Like literally, you could be like, I have a headache, they're like, take a pill. And my husband is like that. If somebody, if a doctor prescribes him something, he's like, oh, I'm going to take it. And I'm like, no, you're not. I'm like, there's a way that we can fix this.

And now he's gotten so much better because he's just so used to me being his wife. But like even the other day, he was, they prescribed him a Valium and I had him all freaked out. I'm like, where did you get the Valium? What pharmacy was it filled at? Is it in a pill bottle? Like, I just freak out.

Well, he needed it to travel on the plane because he was so tired from in between shows. And he was like, I found myself getting freaked out. And I was just, he goes, I got mad because I was like, I found myself getting freaked out. And I was just, he goes, I got mad because I was like, stop rubbing off on me, you know. But you should, cause you know, that's a big deal. And you know, we hand out benzodiazepines like crazy.

And I don't, I had someone call me last week, wanting me to prescribe anti-anxiety meds. And I said, you know, I stopped it 10 years ago. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it. There are plenty of people out there to write those prescriptions now. And sometimes people need an anti-anxiety. I'm not saying never, but I'm not writing another Xanax again as long as I live.

I'm not going to because I've had too many patients not be able to get off of them. And you were hardcore. It's a miracle you didn't end up, you know, sick. Getting off Xanax was probably one of the hardest things I've ever done. Absolutely. That and to stop drinking cold Turkey was really hard too. But yeah, Xanax, I have, I'm missing a big chunk of my twenties because I took so much Xanax.

Like there's things I don't remember. My long-term memory is like shot from how much Xanax I used to take. And let me tell you it, you don't have a care in the world, but you do other weird shit. So for what it fucking like, it made me a klepto. I loved to steal when I was on Xanax boy. Let me tell you, if I walked in a store, something was getting stolen. Like it just, it, so for every ailment that it was supposed to cover, it gave you other things that were like

just out of this world weird. You know? Oh, there's no telling what I would have done then cause I got thrown in jail for stealing. I got thrown in jail for stealing. I was 18 years old. Freshman year in college. Oh, this is going to be terrible.

Freshman year in college. Yes, I sure did. And you notice Walmart, don't mess with Walmart. They will. I got caught at Target. They will nail your ass to the wall at Walmart. Walmart, 69 cents, spool of thread I stole. Spool of thread, I was a fashion design major in college.

So my first 20 years was all in merchandising. You animal you. And I stole 69 cents, and my roommate did too, or she stole something else, a pattern. But anyway, they hauled our ass to jail in Bowling Green, Kentucky, strip searched us, put us in jail. My mother didn't come pick me up because we know her history. And so when I called her, my roommate's mother had already, or my roommate had already called her mother. I called my mom, Carolyn answered the phone and she goes, you thief, boom, and hung that

phone up and never showed up. Never showed up. He came and got, her dad came and got us out. And yeah, no, so I can't imagine what it, yes, that was 18, had just turned 18. Oh my gosh. Can you imagine? I was put on probation for three years in college, three years for stealing. A spool of thread?

I wouldn't eat a grape off the dang, produce thing, testing out the grapes. That's like, my friend actually cut a tag off of her mattress and ended up going to jail for that. What? You know how it says do not- Yes, it says don't take it off. Yeah, she ended up going to jail for that. I thought that was a joke.

Like if you cut your, you can really be prosecuted if you cut that tag off a mattress. Why the fuck is that tag even on there? For what? I had no idea, Ies. Why the fuck is that tag even on there? Or what? I had no idea. I learned something new. Why is that tag even on there? I think I cut every day.

I have a weird OCD thing with tags. I can't have tags on anything, so I cut it off of everything. But yeah, my girlfriend, April, poor baby, ended up going to jail for cutting a tag off of a mattress. Oh, we've got bigger problems in this world to deal with than cutting off your mattress tag. Right. But anyway, going back to, people don't need to know I ended up in jail, but I did.

And Ella used to say- I'm trying to give you a little bit of an edge. It makes you more relatable. In opportune times, my daughter would go, mama, tell us about that time you got thrown in jail. I mean, it would be like wherever out in public, not like, you know, Ella, please. That is hilarious. But so, and I was stone cold sober, not on Xanax. So I can't imagine have I, if I had been on, you know, taking Xanax,

but it, we treat, we treat symptoms. And that's how I was taught in school. And that's how all of your medical doctors are taught and your nurse practitioners in your PA, because we don't understand root cause. And like my son is fourth year medical school right now, fourth year, just started his fourth year, which means he's gonna be out hopefully in four more years. He's not taught root cause medicine.

Now he knows because he's grown up with a mom that there's a root cause for Bunny's constipation. There's a root cause, thyroiditis. There's a root cause for her heartburn, right? People aren't born with heartburn. What's going on? And so that's what we have to do. We have to get better about that in allopathic medicine

and ask those questions, right? So what happened to your childhood? Or, you know, what are you eating? Your diet will heal you or kill you. It is as simple as that. And you are good at your diet. You are true to the course. Well, that leads me into my next question

that I have for you, because you know how crazy I am with my diet. I do no sugar. I do do a little gluten, but I get it through sourdough because that's the only bread I'll eat, but it's a special sourdough that I order and it's like I am so diligent in my freaking diet, but my blood sugar is still wonky. So I had my, I had a Gary Brekka's team do some of my blood work earlier this year before you did mine. And they came back and told me like, hey, you need to stop intermittent fasting. You're almost making yourself hypoglycemic

because of how, which is crazy, because I feel so much better when I intermittent fast. But then every time I go and get my blood checked, people tell me my blood sugar's high. So how am I hypoglycemic if I have high blood sugar? Both my parents are diabetic by the way. Okay, so type two diabetics, not type one. They weren't on insulin, were they?

Yeah, no, my mom was. Your mom was an insulin dependent diabetic. She was on insulin, yep. I think my dad was too. Okay, so we wanna pay close attention to that, but if I were you, I would get a, I can give you a blood glucose monitor, you know, checking. So what you're doing is you're getting just a snapshot, one shot when you draw your blood.

If you did a glucose monitor, a continuous glucose monitor, we would know 24-7 every day, every minute what's going on with your blood sugar. And then you would know, oh gosh, when I'm intermittent fasting for 14 hours, yeah, I'm dropping or I'm spiking or whatever. I think I have what's called the dawn phenomenon. So my blood sugar is always high in the morning, no matter what I do. I could fucking eat perfectly the night before

and I still have high blood sugar in the morning. Okay, that is the dawn phenomena, yes. And so most people don't eat enough protein during the day. I had 135 milligrams a day. Grams. 135 milligrams or 135 grams. Yes. Grams. Sorry. She said grams, bitch. Grams. Yes, grams. Grams. And so that's good because 100.

Yeah, that's that's really good. So you're getting, are you eating breakfast? Are you eating most of that? I eat breakfast, lunch, dinner. I think the only thing, you know me, I'm always trying to figure it out. I am high protein, high carb, low fat. So I'm thinking that me being high carb

is what's triggering it. Probably, probably. But that segues into my next thing about, what is it called? Tri-zepatide? I'm thinking about doing tri-zepatide because I wanna lose a couple pounds, but I also want to regulate my blood sugar.

How do you feel about semi-glutide, tri-zepatide, and all that stuff? On the spot. All right. I think there's a place for it. Absolutely there's a place for it, Absolutely there's a place for it. And it has changed many of my patients' lives. I'm not prescribing it.

I'm doing a tiny bit through a compounding pharmacy here for a few people that's sublingual. So it's under the tongue. It's not an injection. I wanna microdose it. I don't wanna do it for- Well, it's microdosing it. So I just barely started it.

And it's been several years, right? That this has been popular because I really feel like you need to know exactly what you're doing. I didn't have time. Honestly, my mom was dying and all. But no, my gynecologist, I went in there the other day to see her.

She looks unbelievable. And she told me, she said, we're doing tris-tri-tri-tri- Tris-epitide. Tris-epitide. Just, tris-epitide, Danny. And she said, I would highly recommend you get into it. And I said, OK. So she was telling me that all the benefits

and how her patients, not everyone, not everyone's a candidate for it. Right. But the blood sugar regulation benefits of that. Now, do we have long-term studies on all of this to see? No, we don't. No, and that's what scares me because I've been doing a ton of research.

Which is why I haven't done it yet with patients. I know, I'm waiting for you to hop on the horn. I know, I know, but then I, yes, yes. But I think that that's a really great one. I mean, I've got patients on, I mean, they're on everything from Metformin to Wigovie to the one that right now that... I've read so many bad things about Metformin and the side effects.

I was on it for a long time. I mean, not even, you know, I take that back. It wasn't long, long because I couldn't handle it. I literally had to come to my doctor and said, you're killing me. Diarrhea, was it diarrhea? I mean, everything. It was coming out of every hole I was like literally becoming I was

becoming like to the point that like I made myself sick because I couldn't even drink a glass of water without it just coming somewhere oh gosh and so they were like okay well we'll try you on the slow release okay now take it at this time now try this we'll put you on the lowest I was on the lowest dose on the like slow release of it it still could not keep anything within my body. Then it's not your thing. Exactly. And so I hadn't been on anything until recently. I did go on trizepatide and I can handle it. I can fully handle it. I hear great things about trizepatide. I do. Do you know the difference between, what's the

difference between semi-glutide, ozempic and trizapotide? Isn't it all the same thing? Semiglutide is ozempic. Okay. Lungaro is trizapotide. Oh, gotcha. So it's the hormone receptors. It's what it's blocking. So that's why they're using trizapotide for addicts because it blocks two hormone receptors versus the semiglutide only stops one of them. Right. So like people who are addicted to, they put them on the suboxone a lot of the times instead of suboxone they're trying the trisepatide because it does, and I will be honest,

I was on the semaglutide to begin with, I could still feel some of my food noise, trisepatide, zero. I had zero food noise. Who went out to LA and is on, in Mongero, same thing. And she said it completely took away the food noise in her. And I didn't think she needed to lose any weight anyway. She looks fantastic.

Yeah. And she said, you know, she'll start weaning off of it now. But here's where I'm still skeptical on so much of this, is you have to change the root cause to whatever's going on with you once we stop this, right? Or where your portion size is too big, where you eating too many carbs, right? Where you not eating enough protein,

where you not exercising, where's your stress level through the roof, right? Are you not sleeping at night? I mean, I think sleeping is almost equally as important as your diet. Are you eating real food? Are you still driving through fast food and you're getting your food out of somebody's window?

Well, that's not real food. So we have to change all the emotional things that go on around food once we stop this, once you stop your GLP-1, whatever it is you're taking. And I don't know that everyone's doing that. So I'm worried about people losing a tremendous amount of weight, which you don't have a tremendous amount of weight to lose,

you don't have a tremendous amount of weight to lose, but then gaining more weight back because you didn't fix the root cause. Well, I do all of those. Yes, you do. Um, but my thing is, is I want, I want to lose about five to 10 pounds, but I also want to, I feel like I've hit a plateau. I'm sitting at in between one 55 and one 60 and I've been here since January, that wild yam cream.

Yes. Everybody has all of these great reviews about wild yam cream. That shit fucked me up. You know, I'm always gonna be honest about it. It did not do good for me. Like it literally, it made me feel terrible. And it also made me like, now that I've gotten off of it, I've been off of it probably about three months, I am the skinniest and tightest on my period.

And anytime, it was the minute I'm off my period, I'm swollen, I feel inflamed, like I hate it. It like has made me reverse. It's so crazy. That's wild. That happens to me. Yeah. I feel my skinniest like the day before I start my period.

Yeah. I'll drop down to like 155, 156 right before my period. And I'll weigh that all through my period, which is unheard of for me. Normally I gain like five pounds before my period and I'll weigh that all through my period which is unheard of for me. Normally I gain like five pounds on my period and then as soon as it comes off I go up five pounds as soon as my period's over with. Anywhere from like three to five pounds.

Like that stuff really sent my hormones for a loop. But you know, my body is so opposite. It is because progesterone is the calming hormone. It is the first hormone that starts to drop in your body in your 30s, actually in your mid 30s. And so it's the first, it's the one that keeps a baby in the womb. It's the one that keeps you calm

and helps you sleep at night. It's a game changer for most people, but not everyone. And this is why you have to have personalized medicine, right? Not everybody gets the same treatment, but for you, it wasn't a good thing. And that doesn't mean that maybe later it wouldn't be.

Oh no, like when I'm going through menopause. Oh yeah, when you're old lady like me and your progesterone is my favorite, man. I love it, I take it every night. 100 milligrams, man, give it, no, 130. We're up to 130 now. Let's talk about menopause because I feel like so many people do not want to touch the menopause

subject. And you know, for the longest time, I was always like, Oh my God, like dreaded menopause. And now I'm actually kind of like, I can't wait, dude. Like I am so tired of having periods. Let's talk about perimenopause, menopause and post menopause. So perimenopause usually starts in between what ages? 30s, 30s, mid 30s-ish, somewhere right around there. And women don't even notice it. I didn't notice it. Did you notice it in your 30s? No, but some women do,

but it's the first hormone that starts to drop. The progesterone does, you know, and some people get a little more emotional, maybe before their period or their periods get a little erratic. In the 30s and then in the 40s, most women do start to notice something at 44 is when I was like gosh this is weird but I always had

really regular periods it is it's it's just a hormonal fluctuation and you know a lot of women have babies in their late 30s and early 40s and think about that out with the baby goes what little bit of progesterone they had left you know once they have this baby oftentimes we little bit of progesterone they had left, you know, once they have this baby. Oftentimes we have to supplement progesterone during pregnancy for these women because it is the hormone that helps keep the baby in the womb. But it's the calming one. It's the one that balances breast tenderness, helps you sleep at night, helps you poop, all those things. Progesterone is calming. And that's perimenopause. And it can be a little erratic, those seasons. And then here we are raising teenagers and all the things while

we're perimenopausal, right? And your hormones are doing this and their hormones are doing this, especially if it's girls and nobody's getting along at all in there at the house. And menopause, oh my gosh. And I'll be 59. It is, and I tell women this every day and they look at me so mad and so angry. They're hot flashing, their vagina's drying up. It's like rice paper. They don't want... Damn.

Well, it gets... The visual. Yeah, yeah. And it hurts. It's like glass, they tell me. And they bleed a little bit with sex. And the hot flashes and the, you know, it's when osteoporosis, you know, gets diagnosed. It starts decades before.

But when we, before we get into all the symptoms of menopause, always remember it is an honor and it is a privilege. And it is a rite of passage denied by many women. and it is a rite of passage denied by many women. Always remember that, that it is, many women never live this long to get through menopause. We all have friends who've died before they ever hit menopause. It doesn't mean it's fun. It doesn't mean it's always enjoyable,

but it is an honor to go through. And once you get to the other side, it is freedom like you have never seen. And you do have to keep your hormones balanced, right? Or you will have, you know, rice paper vaginas that just shred apart. And you know, and you hear it, you listen to the women, you know, they don't want sex, their libido goes down.

Well, that starts, that could start anytime. I have 25 year olds who have no sex drive that are married, you know? And that's a whole nother topic we could talk about why that is. But menopause, if it's balanced properly, if you're done, what I have found is that women who have the worst time going through menopause are the ones who have the most inflammation in their body, because inflammation is the root of every single bit of these chronic diseases.

Menopause is not a disease, but it's going to be exacerbated the more inflamed you are, right? The worse your gut is, the more you're not sleeping, the more your job is killing you and your kids are killing you and you can't poop and all those things. When you start getting those things in order,

those balls in order, your menopause symptoms level out. But you also have to have a healthcare provider who understands hormones. Then you get into, Bunny, you get into, I'm scared. My doctor says I can't take hormones. I should never take hormones. Bioidentical hormones cause cancer. Well show me that research. I want to see the studies that say, because I have studies as big as this book right here,

that show bioidentical hormones do not cause cancer. Now there are hormone-based cancers, absolutely, but if bioidentical hormones cause cancer, then all the women who have hormones in their body would all have cancer. The Baileys, right? My daughter Ella, our 25-year-olds, our 30-year-olds, our 35-year-olds, they're not the ones who get cancer. Who gets cancer? Women my age with no hormones in their body.

That's who gets cancer. So if they're balanced properly and if the inflammation is down in your body, I believe bioidentical hormones are an unbelievable thing to transition. I just don't think we're designed to shrivel up and dry up. No. Right? I wanna be juicy forever.

You bet. And so think about Bailey and think about my daughter Ella and those girls, their brains are on fire. Now they may be kooky and crazy right now, but you know what I mean, their brains are on fire. Now they may be, you know, kooky and crazy right now, but you know what I mean? Their hormones are firing, their brains are firing on all cylinders. It's estrogen that keeps your boobs up to here, right?

Your skin up to here, your brain's in your bones strong, right? And I don't think we have to be like, we're 20 years old anymore, but I definitely want my hormones balanced so that I'm not hot flashing. Hot flashes are horrible. Have you ever had a hot flash?

I have panic attacks and I get really hot when I have panic attacks. So if that's what hot flashes feel like, I don't want it. It is, and it is no fun. I can tell you that. And when your hormones are balanced. And then I think that's when the wild yam cream

will come in to play for me. Absolutely, and maybe you don't even need the wild. Maybe you need something different. Maybe you need chased berry, Vitex. I don't know. You know, there's many things that we can do to get you through perimenopause, menopause, postmenopausal, herbal-wise. You know, there's tons of herbs out there that we can use. And then we get into the bioidentical hormones. And you find a provider who's going to help you do that. If you have a healthcare provider who says, no, I'm not prescribing new hormones, then

find a new provider. You know, you've got a family history of cancer. That's right. Yeah, got a family history of cancer. But I don't have to be my genetics. Right? So, and they say the genetics pulls the, or loads the gun, but your environment pulls the trigger. So I will die with my bioidentical hormones held in my hands as tight as anything. Danny Williamson will go to her grave with her estrogen, progesterone,

testosterone, and pregnenolone, which is the happiness hormone. I will take them until I'm done. Does it take a long time to get adjusted to them? Well, it didn't for me, although I've had a little blip lately and had to have a biopsy and all this, some postmenopausal bleeding. I think, I don't know if you saw or not.

I did, I saw it online. And then I had to have a biopsy last week because I had an abnormal pap smear. So this is something that your tribe needs to know. You know, the guidelines say now you don't have to have a pap smear every three to five years. Yeah, I'm not cool with that. Have they lost their mind?

I go once a year. I do too and entrance pays for it. And also I wanted to bring up to you guys, when you go and get a pap smear, ask them for an ultrasound of your ovaries also because pap smears only check for cervical cancer. They do not check for ovarian cancer.

That's right. We have no screening for ovarian cancer, but the tests we did, the gallery cancer screening tests, that looks at the methylation cycle. So the only way that we know about ovarian cancer is when they do the bimanual exam, when we do the pap smear, right, and we put the fingers in there, that's we're feeling ovaries, right? To see if anything's off. The only signs of ovarian cancer are bloating

and early satiety, like eating and getting full very quickly. Those are signs of ovarian cancer. Well, who doesn't have that? Yeah, I'm like God, me every day. So I had, for the first time, 58 years old, she called me and said, Danny, we've got an abnormal pap, but it's not just abnormal, it's low grade,

like could be a cancer, not just atypical cells. And I said, what are you talking about? And we went back and looked, 15 years I've been with her, never had an abnormal pap smear. So I had to go in for a colposcopy and a biopsy two weeks ago. And I just got the phone call Friday that it's completely negative. There is no cancer there. There is no cancer. But what if, and I had a pap smear last year, I have one every year, what if I'd waited the guidelines and had a pap smear in three years? Well, that

atypical or low grade cells could have turned into a cervical cancer. And that's only one of five cancers that we screen for. So I'm a big believer in getting your pap smear every single year. And the ultrasound as well, and interns may not pay for that, right? And some people can't do that. And ultrasounds are pretty inexpensive. But I'm a believer in going in and getting your breast exam from the clinician, whoever it is,

if it's a gynecologist, whatever, or family practice, get the breast exam, get your Pap smear every year. These are things we can do, preventative medicine. Which I still need to go get my mammogram this year. I haven't done it yet. I mean, I've had enough health shit this year. I'm just like, fuck my life. I'm like, Lord, I don't want to go get another test done,

but I actually do need to get it done. So maybe I'll try to get that done before we go on tour. Get that done. Always go to your dermatologist. Yeah, and I didn't get my ultrasound either because my gynecologist, her ultrasound machine wasn't working. So I need to get that done too before I leave for tour.

Yes. But I did get my pap smear, so we're good. Well, that's good. Get your pap smears. I'm telling you, that's a big deal, but get your preventative things done. Absolutely. You know, your skin. I just got a big little biopsy there taken off.

Friday I went and saw my dermatologist, had my first skin cancer six months ago on my leg, a basal cell. I mean, it's like what in the world? But getting older, age is a risk for cancer. It is a risk for cancer. So the older you get, the more determined you have to be to stay on top of your preventative medicine.

Absolutely. Health is wealth. Health is wealth. And your wealth will help you with better better healthcare, but I am telling you, you better take care of your health no matter what, because you could have all the money in the world and you're not gonna live any longer if you get diagnosed with it.

That is the one thing I realized whenever we went through that aneurysm scare was I was just like, I've worked my ass off to be where I'm at. And it's like, what if something so simple like that can just take it away at the blink of an eye and take you away from all of it? And it was just like, you can't take any of that with you,

so you have to really stay on top of your health, be preventative, check everything. Every year I get blood work done by you, I get blood work done, I get mammograms, I get pap smears. Like it's a ritual that I do that if you can, and thank the Lord we're fortunate enough to be able to do that.

And a lot of insurances will cover most of these things, the basic stuff, right? Absolutely. I was on TennCare. I was on food stamps and TennCare for six years going through nurse practitioner school when I got divorced and lost everything. Let me tell you, TennCare or Kentucky Medicaid

or whatever, any of it, that was the best insurance I've ever had in my life. It paid for everything. It paid for everything. Every pap smear, every preventative stuff. So even if you're on TennCare, right? Or if you're on state aid, like I was, utilize it and get your preventative medicine

or preventative exams done, you know. But people are scared, they put their head in the sand. And I am telling you, putting your head in the sand will kill you. Yeah, you can't do that. It will kill you. You would never let your child, if you had children, you would never ignore your child's

health. If there was something going on, right? Maybe you would take them straight. We did my kids to the doctor all the time. Yeah. Yes. You have to be your advocate, your health advocate. I've learned that too. You have to be, you know, doctors will do the bare minimum, especially Western medicine. So you have to be like, Hey man, this is what's going on. I learned that last year, whenever I couldn't figure out why my blood pressure or my blood sugar and blood pressure kept spiking

and I figured out that it was rice that I'm allergic to, they were ready to put me on blood pressure medication. Nobody would advocate for my own health and you are the only person who knows your body as well as it is, you know? So it's like, you have to be your own advocate. If something doesn't feel right and you don't agree with something, don't just go with it and take the pill, go search further.

It's like, no, this is, I need to figure it out and process of elimination can help you figure out so much stuff that's going on with your body too. You bet. You bet. And then, you know, rice, who knew rice is, you know, the Asians eat rice every day all day. What in the world? It's not killing, you know, I mean, knew? Rice is, you know, the Asians eat rice every day, all day. What in the world? It's not killing, you know?

I mean, it's not the devil. My body is so weird. I know. I miss rice. I want rice so bad. I love rice. And that's where, you know, the ability to be able to do food sensitivity testing

that we've done and that I do that. And not everyone has the ability to be able to do that because it's like $400, and you know, for the big test, great big test. But the top seven foods out there that affect most people, the top seven foods that that whole chapter is written on in there, gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, eggs, and peanuts, those are the top seven

inflammatory foods in the country. They always have been, that's not gonna change anytime soon. Who knew rice for you, right? Avocados for me, my body doesn't like avocados. That's crazy. Does not like avocados and does not like cashews. And cashews are my favorite. Oh, same.

Oh, I love cashews. And anything that's dairy free, cause I can't dairy, eggs, gluten, cashews, avocados. Those are the five big ones for me. Yeah, I don't do dairy. Cashews, last time I ate cashews, I fucking felt like I swallowed the five big ones for me. Yeah. I don't do dairy cashews. Last time I ate cashews, I fucking felt like I swallowed glass and had to take Benadryl. I've eaten cashews my whole life and I ate them one

day and that was it. Game over. Couldn't eat them again. My heart was racing. Yeah, my body hates cashews and it is a highly inflammatory nut. Yeah, you know a lot of people are allergic to cashews. They certainly are, you know, and so peanuts aren't so bad. It's the mold in the peanuts that's the problem, right? It's the aflatoxin. You didn't know that there's mold?

No. So the mold in peanuts. Because Mimi eats peanut butter all the time. Mimi, I need you to read that. Which could also contribute to your Hashimoto's because it's an inflammatory. Yes, so it is, so polluted peanuts. I have a whole section in here on peanuts.

And it's so good. Peanuts are so good. I love peanut butter. I could eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now. Sitting here with you. Love it. I don't have a peanut sensitivity at all. So I can eat organic peanuts that are not loaded with mold.

And so I talk all about it in here, they grow in the ground and stuff. And so it's the same with corn. Corn is the mold problem as well, the aflatoxin, right? But Trader Joe's has organic, and as does Costco, organic peanut butter that's Valencia. That's the only peanut butter I have. Valencia peanut butter.

Valencia peanuts have less mold in them. Okay, I'm gonna go check. I have organic peanut butter at home. I keep it in the fridge. See if it's Valencia. Does it have sugar in it though? I don't think so, because Jason eats it. He doesn't eat sugar.

So it probably shouldn't then. If, I don't know. I'm gonna have to look. You gotta be careful, because there are some organics that have sugar in it. You have to make sure it says sugar-free on it. Oh my. I know, and they drink you. Just peanuts. You just need peanuts in it. You have to make sure it says sugar-free on it. Oh my. I know, they trick you.

Just peanuts. You just need peanuts in it. Yep. And maybe some salt. I taught her that, the least ingredients. Yeah. Oh, I taught Olivia that recently. She is obsessed with reading ingredients now.

When you read those ingredients, that, you know, if it's got more than two ingredients in it, that's fake food. Yeah. And you people don't realize it. I mean, they, I just just so wanna go up to people at the grocery that are down the frozen food aisle, right? And you look at the back of those meals

and literally the ingredient list is that long. You know, and I rat on Chick-fil-A all the time, but I mean, I love, I mean, I think it's great. I mean, it's fine. There's 51 ingredients in one Chick-fil-A sandwich. Tell me about Chick-fil-A. Chick-fil-A, there is a reason that Chick-fil-A tastes the same in Nashville, Tennessee, as it does in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is 100% Franken food. That's it, there's nothing real about it.

There's 51 ingredients, count it, in their chicken sandwich, 51. There is a piece of chicken, that's the number one ingredient, but it's got hormones and antibiotics, which they refused to take that out this year in 2024. Number three ingredient is MSG. 51 ingredients. There is a reason it tastes the same

all over the United States. It is a chemistry experiment. And it's not just Chick-fil-A. I mean, you might as well eat at McDonald's or Taco Bell or any of that because they're all the same or Cracker Barrel. It's a formula. Nobody's chicken sandwich.

If you cooked a chicken sandwich three days in a row, it would taste different every time because we mix it up a little bit different. Not when it's a chemistry experiment. That was designed specifically for addiction. Addiction. And people are addicted to it. I know some people who eat it almost every day.

Every day. I want waffle fries. Is that that sick? I love their waffle fries, but ever since you came on the podcast and told me that, I don't eat it anymore. I'll eat it if I have to. Right, right.

And it's like once every fucking six months. I can't even remember the last time we had it, but I won't eat it anymore. Well, I feel so gross and my face gets so red and flushed after I eat anything from Chick-fil-A. It's unbelievable. And I think, you know, they're an amazing company, I'm sure, but they got to pay their board members, right?

I mean, they've got it. If it tasted different here as it did in Paducah, Kentucky, you know, that's a problem. You know, people will be returning their chicken sandwiches. So always think about that. Why does it taste the same everywhere? It's the same with frozen food in the frozen food aisle. It's the same with all of this.

It's not one ingredient food. Now we don't always have time to put together a big meal, right? But you can chop up some broccoli and some cauliflower and an artichoke. I think we talked about artichokes last time. You don't have a problem cooking them. It takes me all day.

We love artichokes. I know I love artichokes, but you know, that's one ingredient food. Yeah. Who doesn't love the good things in life? I know I do, but enjoying a little luxury doesn't mean I have to pay luxury prices, not since I found Quince. I started with their suitcases

and they quickly became my go-to travel essential. Sleek, durable, and thoughtfully designed, they rival high-end luggage brands, but at a fraction of the price. It's held up beautifully through multiple trips, proving that high quality doesn't have to mean high prices. After that, I just had to try more. But cutting out the middleman

and working directly with ethical top-tier factories, Quince delivers the same premium quality for 50 to 80% less than similar brands. Luxurious fabrics, timeless style, and responsible manufacturing. That's why I choose Quince. Give yourself the luxury you deserve with Quince.

One thing I absolutely cannot stand about bras and panties is when they dig into your sides on the top girls you know what I'm talking about when you get that little muffin flap in the back and then on the bottom when it digs into your hip absolutely drives me insane can't stand it but with skims that never happens and that't stand it. But with skims that never happens. And that is why I'm obsessed with skims. Because they're t-shirt bras I don't get any lumps or bumps and their panties oh my goodness. Their panties are perfect. The material just lays flat on your body, smooth, never bunches up, never cuts and increases in your hips. It's my favorite. Their fits everybody thong is

for everybody. She is for the streets, I promise you. I'm telling you, all the girlies, you need to go and get these panties because these are the ones I wear every day, daily. I have some on right now as we speak. I also am wearing a t-shirt bra right now and it is the most comfortable bra that I own.

It's my go-to. I literally hang it on my doorknob in my closet so that I just grab it and slap it on before I go anywhere. And don't get me started on the online Demi bra. That one is perfect. It doesn't have wire underneath it, but yet you still get like pushed up and held and it's just like an all-day wear. I just can't listen. If you guys can't tell I absolutely love Skims. So please go get you some Skims. Shop Skims best intimates including the fits everybody collection and more at skims.com and Skim stores after you place your order be sure to let them know we sent you select podcasts in the survey and be sure

to select our show in the drop down menu that follows. Look at the list of ingredients in what you're buying and if it's in a package, a box, a ban, a bag, a can, a tube, it's designed to be eat randomly, not all the time. That's the allostatic load that we're talking about, right? Eating it every day, all day. Well, it's gonna build up, build up, build up, and those toxins, those chemicals, that inflammation, and then boom, we're gonna tip over

into autoimmune disease, chronic lifestyle diseases, diseases you weren't born with. So that brings me to another question then, because we had some people got offended at a conversation that Mimi and I had had about getting lower ingredient foods. They were like, well, we don't have the money to do that. And you know, for you to talk bad about certain foods isn't okay. So for the people at home that are on a budget, yes, what can they eat that's healthy and low ingredient food? Well, one ingredient food.

I mean, seriously, you know, Walmart is the number one buyer and supplier of organic food in the world. So even if you don't eat organic, right? Even if you're eating traditional sprayed apples, grapes, all of that, you're't eat organic, right? Even if you're eating traditional sprayed apples, grapes, all of that, you're on a budget, right? You're on a budget. You have Aldi's, you have Walmart. You can go and get clean, it may not be clean,

but you can get one ingredient food. So, I mean, you can, the farmers markets. I mean, I was on food stamps and I didn't know that you could use food stamps at most farmers markets. I had no idea. Most of them take food stamps, but it takes a little effort. So then you have to look, okay, if you're busy,

if you were like me, two little kids on food stamps, no money, $430 a month in child support and in school full time, right? Nurse practitioner school. I mean, I had to do the best I could. I did the best I could and we ate a lot of frozen pizza. You know, don't beat yourself up. Right.

When you know better, then you begin to do better. But if you can make soup, right? Like I used to make a ton of soup. I used to use my Crock-Pot all the time. Well, I still do. I mean, I love my Crock-Pot. I'm a Crock-Potter. There is Well, I still do. I mean, I love my Crock-Pot. I'm a Crock-Potter. There is a cookbook called,

Make It Fast, Cook It Slow. One of the best cookbooks. I need it for tour. You need it. Make It Fast, Cook It Slow. One of the best cookbooks I've ever had. It's all gluten-free actually. And so, and I used to use it.

You can do that on a budget. You can buy cheap, cheap, cheap meat on a budget, put it in a Crock-Pot. We eat so healthy on tour, so I love Crock-Pot meals. And I think the issue is, is like, people don't want to identify, it's not that healthy food is expensive. It just takes more effort.

It does take. And that's where people, I think, get offensive with it. It's like, oh, well, we don't have the money. No, no, because I know how much broccoli costs. I know how much zucchini costs. They don't cost $10 a zucchini, but it is gonna take you going home and cooking it. You gotta chop it, cook it, bag it, meal prep it,

and all that. And I'm guilty of that though, because I didn't love putting effort in, and I've noticed going one ingredient, and she's really helped me change my diet, and that is it does take a lot more effort. That's just the take of it. But the cleaner your diet is,

the more one ingredient food you eat, the less you eat too, because it does. It fills you up. That food is designed, that Chick-fil-A, that McDonald's, that's designed to keep feeding you, right? Or to keep you getting hungry, to keep you eating, right? Diet Coke has so much sodium in it for thirst so that you will be more thirsty and drink more.

It's designed for addiction. And you just keep eating and keep eating the chips, right? The popcorn, all of that. But when you eat one ingredient food, you eat less. You're full, you're less, don't you? I had this conversation with my husband yesterday because he ate a hot dog at Costco. And then he got home and he goes,

this is the first time I've started to realize that the food, because my husband is a food addict, like his is way worse than mine, but he really, I was proud of him for yesterday identifying how his body felt after eating that. He goes, man, he goes, I don't feel full and it made me feel bad. And he's never said that about foods before.

So many people are not in tune with how they feel. They think it's normal to be exhausted after they eat, to be bloated after they eat, to have to go have diarrhea after you eat. That's normal, that's just who I am. That's not true. That's not how we were designed to live. I feel better at 58 years old than I ever did at 38.

Same, I feel better at 44 than I have in a long time. That's exactly right. And you know, I did change my diet, but I also changed the stress level and I got a lot of stress, but I cut out the soul suckers in my life. I automated a lot of things and eliminated and delegated a lot of things in my life. I automated a lot of things and eliminated and delegated a lot of things in my life.

And I think people, they oftentimes people poo poo things they're not up on, right? Because it's, they don't have the other things in their life in balance, right? Maybe they're not sleeping. It's very difficult to eat well if you're not sleeping at night because you're exhausted. You're exhausted.

And so we have to get you sleeping, and we need to get you exercising because your body's designed to move itself. You don't have to go to CrossFit four days a week, but you do need to move your body, at least after you eat, and that's gonna help you feel better and make better decisions. And when you feel better, one step at a time,

you make better decisions. And there's no shaming anyone if they can't afford. I've been there. I grew up with a mom that had no money, but my mom also grew a garden and she canned everything, and I don't do that. Yeah, I wish I could grow a garden. Me too.

That is one of my dreams is to be a gardener. Yes, I know. And me too. And it takes, you talk about taking time. Yeah. Right? But man, if all heck breaks loose and the grid goes down and we have some sort of massive happen,

something happen here, the people who are canned up and have canned their vegetables and like my mom, oh yeah. They're the real MVPs. You bet they are. You bet. And that's a whole nother way to also eat if you have the time.

Because it's expensive initially to get everything together, but then it's so less expensive. But I am telling you, the people who do it, who have children, we have the opportunity right now to change the entire next, the trajectory of the next generation. And it starts with diet. Absolutely. And they are not feeding their brains on, you know, their brains can't grow on sugar and carbs and red food coloring and blue food coloring

and processed packaged food. The food coloring, I just cut red dye out of my son's diet and he is a different child. Completely different, he'd do a total 180. Completely, and I slipped up and I didn't check a piece of food the other day. He ate it, holy terror. That's right, but that wasn't food.

He was eating Franken food. He was. If there was red food to color in it. And that's something. And it's these little things that you discover, that you learn, and when you know better, you do better. And so it's not all at one time you throw the baby out with the bathwater, it's every day, every week, every month,

every year you make better choices. And in six months you go, holy shit. So I want to believe I feel so much better. I wanted to use that as an example. I cut out sugar going on two years ago and I ate something the other day. I forget what it was. Oh, the ice cream. So

Mimi and I, I was like, you know what? I haven't had sugar in forever. I'm going to eat some ice cream with my friend because I deserve it. Right. I ate ice cream with her. I could, it was delicious, but I could, it hurt. It had so much sugar in it. Like my taste buds have changed so much. And then I get on a plane and have a panic attack for four fucking hours because I ate sugar. And you really don't realize like even these changes, you don't realize how much your body is affected by these things until you've been out of it for that long. And then you try to go back and you're like, holy shit, now I know why I cut this out of my diet.

That is such a great point because people say to me all the time, patients, well, I don't feel like I ever had a reaction to gluten before and now I tried it. Now I ate it after you've made me be off of it for six months and I am, I mean, I had a horrible reaction. No, you lived in a constant reaction before. You had no idea that your body was in fight or flight

and you had this huge inflammatory load going on you didn't know any differently until you started feeling better. Yeah. And then you but you know the goal is and unfortunate that's unfortunate that happened to you the goal is though to build up enough resilience that when you do want to have ice cream with your friend Mimi right that you don't panic attack in an airplane. I don't think it, listen, let's just, Danny, at this point, I don't think my body is, in this lifetime, I don't think my body is made up to go back to bad habits.

Like once I've let something go, my body is so sensitive. Yeah, your body is. It is insane. I'm not that sensitive. So if I wanted to have ice cream with you, even though dairy is like the top of my list, I have built up enough resilience through the years of healing my gut, right? With probiotics and things and all the things

and eating clean, that I would probably feel it the next day in my hands, because that's where I feel it is the joints. Me too, I get it in my joints. My hands get swollen and my feet get swollen. My feet don't, but my hands look like little piggy, just like little piggy fingers. But I would have built up enough resilience

that I could handle it. And that is what you want. It's not about forever denying yourself. That's what people think is, oh, Dani, I love good food. What do you eat? What do you mean, what do I eat? That's like five foods out of hundreds that God made.

I love eating healthy. I feel so good after I eat healthy. If I eat like a fast food meal, I get so tired and so like my stomach is just uncomfortable. Like you just don't feel good after. You're just dragging down. It drags you down. So your body is designed to heal itself and it wants to be 150%.

But it's a process and it takes time. But there's no shaming anyone who says they can't afford it because I am living proof that you can. One little thing at a time, like maybe just change one thing. We're gonna eliminate, we're gonna cut down on gluten drastically, or I'm gonna learn what is gluten. Or cut sugar out once a week.

Cut sugar out, that's right. Yeah, I love what you said about being more informative. You then tend to make better choices. Yes. Yeah. But yeah, we never wanna shame anybody, and we are always here just to bring awareness. It's not us trying to be like, oh, we're better than you because we eat organic. Like it's never like that.

We just want you to know that there is a different way that you can eat to make yourself feel better. And we, me, Danny, Mimi, we're all living proof. Mimi's made drastic changes since she's came back. Um, since she's came into this, you know, the whole situation and she's done so good. How many pounds are you down now? 40. I'm almost right at 40. It's phenomenal. I'm so proud of you.

And it is, it's about baby steps and it's just making these little changes that, and you look back in a year and you're like, whoa, I can't believe where I was in 2024. Cutting out the dairy was big for me. Dairy's huge. And you know, dairy is such a trigger for patients, such a trigger because we love cheese.

Most people do. And I tell people, if you believe in the Bible, Daniel knew 2000 years ago how inflammatory dairy was. He gave up dairy. That's the basis of the Daniel fast. The warriors who came out, the strongest warriors after 10 days, Daniel said, we're not eating that.

We are not eating that food of the King's palace. Red meat, red wine and dairy. That was the basis of the Daniel fast. They knew 2000 years ago, they didn't have pasteurized dairy. They didn't have antibiotics in their dairy. They did not have glyphosate round up all over their grass, those cows eating it. And they knew then how inflammatory dairy was.

And it was clean dairy. So I am telling you, dairy's for one thing, baby cows. I used to love cheese. Like you could not. I still do, I could eat that whole table full. I can't, I can't. They brought me a cheeseburger the other night and I sent it back and got it back.

Yeah, she was like, ah, that's way too much cheese. Like, and normally I would have never said that, but now like since I've been off dairy for almost a decade, I can't like, I can have it in small doses, but if it's like a lot, I can't, I just don't crave it anymore. And that's, I think that's another thing that we should bring up for a, you know, uh, as a point is like, yes, you might crave Doritos and you might crave french fries right now, but your palate changes the healthier you get. Like I crave Brussels sprouts and salads and like, you know, just like good stuff. And I promise you, it's hard. It is so hard when you're first getting off something because it's an addiction. You bet it is. And it literally will take six months to a year.

But if you stick with it, you will just the rewards of sticking with a clean diet are so much better than going back and getting those fries. Okay. So funny. I am not as clean as her and she'll eat stuff sometimes and she'll be like, this is delicious. And because I'm not as clean, I'll eat it. And me and Haley are like, that's fucking disgusting. Yeah, I gave them some like this, this I made this like concoction that I

thought tasted like s'mores and I'm like, taste it, it tastes like s'mores. And Mimi's like, this tastes like fucking dirt. Oh, I can't believe you just said that because I fixed something recently and Jackson was home from, from medical school. And I said, man, you can't tell the difference between gluten and I think it was a gluten-free pizza. I can't remember what I mean. He looked at me and he goes, mom, I don't think you understand.

You have been doing this since 2010. This tastes nothing like a regular pizza. I love gluten-free pizza though. I think it tastes, I love gluten-free bread, all of it, I love it. And he said, mom, it just doesn't taste, but it's great because our palate has changed. Yeah. Right?

And so, again, when you know better, you do better. And I mean, when you get the opportunity to see your children's lives change, if you have children, it is fascinating that the teachers will send notes home from school, like, what have you done? Like, this kid is totally different. I don't know how these teachers do it now with these sugared up,

chemicaled up, red food colored, blue colored, yellow colored up children. Doesn't that food contribute to autism also? Don't they say that or that it can? Well, is that wrong? Some people say that but there's no no- Some people can say that. Is there proof? The same with, I think it's all environmental.

Yeah. So it could be vaccines. It could be genetics, something. It could be environmental. It could be, I think it's, again, it's the whole allostatic situation. And if I'm wrong, forgive me. I thought I had read that somewhere.

I'm an information junkie. Well, I think you probably have read that somewhere. Here's what I can tell you after working with autistic children for five years at my old clinic, which I left 10 years ago today. Can you believe it? Congratulations. And he was the greatest, or still is, autism doctor.

He, the minute he would take them off of red coloring and blue and yellow and sugar and gluten, those children's lives change. Those children's lives change. Those children's lives change. Sometimes they went from nonverbal to speaking or from flapping. I've seen that too. Jenny Farley, J Woww said that has that same story

about her autistic son. So I think that was another example that I had. You bet. And so again, if these children were not born autistic, we have to go back upstream and figure out what happened. What caused it. What's caused it, what's going on, and let's start working on reversing,

and that's what Dr. Kalb did beautifully. It's the same with autoimmune disease. Same thing with what I do, right? What brought on this Hashimoto's? Now it could be sick strep infections, right? Well, I also, I got sepsis a year ago. I went into septic shock. She almost died Yeah I was left in a waiting room for three hours in the ER until I started going into septic shock and my husband ran

Up and was like help her and I was yeah literally dying. Maybe I had no idea I've been trying to get her into you for years. I'm like, please go see Danny. You know where I am. I'm coming. I'm coming. I'm in a good new location. Before tour, go, please. Come on.

We got you covered, sis. I'll see you. So are you ready to answer some questions from Patreon? Let's do it. Cause all of our Patreon members love you to death. Oh my goodness. They love so. Well, I tell you what, they come in,

the ones that come just for appointments and, how'd you hear about us on our paperwork? And it'll say, bunny, bunny, I know, bunny. I love that. That makes me so happy. I know, I love it too, it makes me. So we're gonna head over to Patreon and we're gonna answer a bunch of you guys' questions.

And they actually have some really, really good questions. And we'll start off with one that I think that you could relate to because you said you do have lupus. What advice, Rachel is asking, what advice do you have for lupus? I was diagnosed with SRE lupus last year, and I'm trying my best to manage it

holistically and spiritually. I don't want to have to rely on medication. I know my autoimmune disease is related to my childhood trauma, which I'm also working on healing right now as I believe they correlate. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you so much, Dani. Oh my goodness.

Rachel, right? Yes, Rachel. Okay, well I hear you. And I was 35 years old when I was diagnosed with lupus and that rheumatologist had that hand on that door and she said, well Danielle, there's no cure for lupus. It kills women every year. That's what she said to me.

And she said, You know, some people should not have their fucking medical license. Oh, she still practices it. Yeah. She still practices too. And so, so all that means is- What's her name? No, I'm just kidding.

No, I know. She, yeah. I had a patient probably two years ago who had her listed as her rheumatologist. I said, oh man, she's still on her as hell. She said, yeah, she is. I said, yeah, she told me I was good, you know, kills people. And it does.

But here's the thing, you weren't born with lupus. She already has enough insight to know, Rachel, about the childhood trauma. And so address that. I took the pain medication. I took the pain medication, I took the lupus medications very briefly, and this was before I even knew anything about integrative medicine. And it boiled down to healing the gut.

Find out real fast what your food sensitivities are. If you can't do that, then cut out the top seven foods initially and do that for one solid month and start bringing the inflammation down. And I would be taking a really great quality fish oil and turmeric and I'm a big fan of CBD and I don't know what her symptoms are, right? There could be a butterfly rash,

there could be the joint pain, there could be the kidney manifestation because lupus will affect the kidneys. But the bottom line is it's an inflammatory response, lupus is. And so once you have one autoimmune disease, the average is three. Did you know that? I did not know that. Did you know that Hashimoto's multiple sclerosis and celiac are like triplets?

Wow. So we want to stop it at one, right? One autoimmune disease. But it's an inflammatory response. So fish oil for sure. Turmeric, turmeric, turmeric, anti-inflammatory. That's anti-inflammatory. Anything you can do to bring the inflammation down in your body and get sleeping, moving.

But now some people need to be on medicine for lupus. So do not ignore that. I don't know how severe it is, but get a great rheumatologist. And if you don't have a good rheumatologist, this is probably the best advice you'll get out of me. Find a new one then. Find a new one.

Because as you know, you and I know, there are multiple providers out there. There is someone out there who will help you. Yes. Right? And I am living proof if you were born healthy, you do not have to live sick. And if you're in a toxic relationship at home,

if you're in a toxic job, these are all things that have to be addressed because stress will kill you. Absolutely. That's what I've had to do this year is really lower a lot addressed because stress will kill you. Oh, absolutely. That's what I've had to do this year is really lower a lot of my stress and it's worked out swimmingly. So well, and you know, if I hadn't wanted to do this, right, I could have said, buddy, I can't do this. I don't, I'm tapped out.

Yep. We have the right to say no. Yeah. And we don't as women, especially we don't realize that no is a complete sentence. Yes, I say that all the time. All the time, right? I know. That's why I just adore you.

So seriously, bringing down the inflammation. I know what it's like. I know what it's like to have lupus. And it is something that, you know, I still have lupus, but I don't have the symptoms of lupus. When I check my antibodies, lupus antibodies are there, but I don't have the symptoms of lupus. When I check my antibodies, lupus antibodies are there, but I don't have the symptoms. But I healed my gut.

I am telling you, the gut, no matter what these gals are asking our guys on here, the gut is 80% of your immune system. So you could answer almost any health question by saying, or 80% of it, by saying you've got to heal the gut. And we do that by eliminating the inflammatory foods first, and then a good probiotic will bring down inflammation. You don't take a probiotic, do you?

No, I just read about some guy dying because he took a fucking probiotic. I'm scared. I own a supplement store and I sell a lot of probiotics and no one has died from a probiotic. What? I'm telling you, I research everything. And by the way, any of these supplements

that we do talk about on this podcast today, please go over to Danny's website and order them. What's your website? DannyWilliamson.com. Yes. Yeah, the store pops up. Yeah, so it's- Speaking of supplements though,

let's talk about magnesium. Because- Yes, there is. Yeah, there's so many magnesiums on the market though. How do you know which one to take and which one is for which? Well, so if you're constipated, a magnesium oxide, a magnesium citrate, I don't care for those.

We have them because some people just want them, but they're very harsh on you, right? Magnesium glycinate, chelate, malate, that's my favorite. That's that big one that we've used with you before. I take three of them at bedtime at night. Magnesium has over 300 functions in our body. We are so deficient in magnesium as a United States population

because there's no magnesium left in the soil. There's no minerals left in the soil. There's no minerals left in the soil. Magnesium calms you down. It helps with panic attacks. It helps with migraine headaches. It helps with heart palpitations, restless legs, constipation. So which one magnesium is best for constipation? Oxide and citrate are the ones that they give you for constipation.

If it's harsh on your body. It is. That's why I use glycinate, chelate, malate. Ours has all of it in it. There that has magnesium, glycinate, and malate in it. I love it. I take three at night, poop like a goose. I don't have any problems with it. I love to poop like a goose.

And I know you're not dehydrated. How do you take three? I would fucking feel like I woke up in a benadryl coma. Magnesium makes me so tired. Then take one and- I need to take a freaking smidge of one. Maybe you're a good one. I just started, we just got in the store

because people kept asking for it and I never would do it. A magnesium gel, topical spray. Okay. And I've been putting it on the bottom of my feet at night. I sleep well, but I play around with everything to see how it works. And then putting it on the bottom of my feet at night. I sleep well, but I play around with everything to see how it works. And then putting it on my shins, it's fantastic.

And I think it would work amazing on your belly. Girls who are having cramps, I know it would. I don't think it would, I know it would. Like spray it on your belly, you know, if you're having cramps or if you're constipated, maybe put it on your belly, maybe use it topically. Because the best way to absorb anything really, honestly, is transdermally. What you put on your skin, you put in your body

within 26 seconds flat. So it better be clean, whatever you're putting on, your lotion, your makeup, your hair color, all the things. Does it get in your bloodstream? You bet, well sure. This is the largest organ on the body right here. So when you put all that toxic stuff on your body,

it's through your bloodstream. Hayley uses the spray. 26 seconds. You bet. She likes it. Yeah. What'd you say? Hayley uses the spray.

The magnesium spray. She puts it on the bottom of her feet. Yeah. And then she'll put socks on and go to sleep. You bet. And it's fantastic for children who don't sleep well or don't poop, you know, put it on the bottom of their feet, rub it on there, they'll sleep great.

Yeah. But yeah, I'm loving the magnesium. Magnesium is what is, and you can get magnesium from, you know, vegetables and some nuts and things, but I just think taking a magnesium supplement, and I drink a little magnesium. I drink my magnesium a lot at night. I do that too. At nighttime, it's like the one you stir in with the warm water and then fill the rest with cold water. Yep, and I put it in a wine glass so it's like I'm having a cocktail at night. A lot of times I'll... Danny's hilarious. All right, Heather Macy is asking, how can I naturally boost my testosterone levels? I'm doing the pellets at this time and it's great but not pleasant to get. Well pellets are great. I have pellets in me and I like my testosterone pellets but

natural ways to boost your testosterone level like Shielajot will help your testosterone level. Shielajot will. Horny goatilajot, well, horny goatweed. Yeah, shh. Have you ever used horny goatweed? Fuck. I've taken it before, but I don't know if I took it long enough for it to do anything. You gotta take it consistently long enough to do it.

We have a product, I call it Wild Vitality, and it's horny goatweed and Shilajot. It's got all these things in it. But, so say naturally, working out, hardcore lifting weights will help also. Well, exercise clearly will, but libido is a very strange thing. If your sex drive is not good and you're using,

and you're on testosterone pellets, which is a hormone, which is a little pellet that's inserted through a surgical incision in the hip. If your libido does not get better on that, because it's a pretty high dose, then it's not a testosterone problem. And I tell women this. Does that lower your voice?

No, my voice, I've had testosterone in me for, and I've got this squeaky voice. Yeah, I was just wondering. I don't have a lot of hair. All my hair's on my head. It's not on my, you know, my face, but I do shave my face. But listen, if your testosterone, if your test, your sex drive doesn't get better on pellets, then it's not a testosterone

problem. It could be a relationship problem. So this is one thing that a lot of women and men don't realize. You may not be in a good relationship. Maybe your libido is bad because you're in an asshole marriage, you know? Or a relationship. Yeah, if a woman's mind,

is if a woman's mind and emotional wellbeing is not stimulated in a positive way, she is not gonna be horny. Bingo. Yeah. Bingo. And a man can be mad as a horny. You could be fighting all morning long

and he wants to have sex all the way down the hallway, oftentimes, and a woman just shuts down. So it's way more than just hormones, sex drive is, right? It's dating your spouse. It's sexting your spouse, right? I don't have one, but if I had one, I'd be like, I am so horny right now. I can't wait to come home.

I mean, or take your pants off. And we forget all of that, right? Redating our partner, redating our spouse. But working out, dating your partner again, giving them their love language. Like, and these are all natural ways to boost your sex drive. Cause men are real simple.

They want good food, good sex, and they want to protect you. Am I right? Yeah. That's my husband through and through. If you give them those three things. That's my husband through and through. I mean, they are like putty in your hands.

Simple creatures. They're so simple, right? And they usually are good. I mean, there are some men that are not good, right? There are women that aren't good. And then that's a bad situation. But if you give your partner what they need and their love language, if you're giving them your love language and their love language is not acts of service,

well, it's not going to go well. Somebody's going to give them what... Somebody's needs aren't being met. You bet. And so those are great ways to raise your sex drive. But again, Shilajat, Horny Goatweed, ways to raise your sex drive. But again, Shilajat, horny goat weed, salpalmato oftentimes will raise your sex drive because oftentimes women with low sex drive, like PCOS patients, polycystic ovarian. Yeah. So, ovacita, ashwagandha, what did I just say? Ovacita. Oh, salt palmetto.

Those will lower, they actually lower testosterone a little bit, but it'll increase your sex drive. I had a really adverse reaction to ashwagandha. You did? Oh, it made me wanna fucking run a mile and kill myself all at the same time. Oh, don't say that. No, it was- It's one of my all time favorites,

ashwagandhaandha for most people. This was also when I was taking all of those other, um, you were like overdosing. Right. This is right. Right. Overdosed on the vitamins when I was taking all those standard process vitamins. So I need to take Ashwagandha again and give it a fair shake. I think we have, we have a really clean one.

That's a showed in Ashwagandha. It's, it's, it's a clean one, but again, you're sensitive. Yeah. So, and you use things for a little bit and then you don't react well to it. So you have to mix your things up quite a bit. But libido is such an interesting question. But I do love my pellets and there's a lot of controversy on pellets and I put pellets in women, but I don't advertise

it off the mountain anywhere that I do. But I do have a good little pellet. But I only put testosterone in patients. I don't use estrogen. Okay. I have a question about this then. So I don't have a great sex drive whatsoever, but when I was pregnant with a boy, it shot through the roof.

When I was pregnant with a girl, none. Well look at that. Because you had all that testosterone going through. Is that what it was? So I should pregnant with a girl, none. Well, look at that. Cause you had all that testosterone going through. Is that what it was? So I should supplement with testosterone then? Cause then that was, I'm telling you, like, I could not get enough. My poor husband, like, chasing him around the house

when I was pregnant with Cash, but with Olivia, I didn't even want him to look at me. Like, aw. But this is the number one problem. Try the ashwagandha first. Ashwagandha's great. Yeah, okay. And before you do testosterone.

Oh no, yeah. Chaseberry is also great. Vitex Chaseberry is phenomenal. Yeah, Vitex Chaseberry, it helps with PMS, irritability, breast tenderness, and sex drive. It's been used for thousands of years, and we use it with PCOS patients as well. But libido is real interesting.

It's the number one complaint I have in my office is low libido. It's real rare that I have a woman who comes in and says, heck yeah, I got a great sex drive. Danny, I can't get enough. Me, her. I can't, yeah, she's like, yeah. I'm the horny goat over here.

I can't, you know, and it's, again, it could go back to childhood. There's lots, and I always ask, when was your sex drive the best? Most people say it was, again, it could go back to childhood. There's lots, and I always ask, when was your sex drive the best? Most people say it was before child, I mean, before I had children. And then, and that's where you gotta really put your God, your spouse, and your children in that order.

We forget. Alyssa says, I'm so glad you're bringing back Dani. I found her through your podcast. She's helped me so much. I love her Sunday night services on Facebook. Great free advice. I talk to her and ask her questions through her chat. She's awesome.

Awesome. Thank you. I appreciate that, man. I try to answer them. That's hard. That's a lot of messages. I appreciate that. You know, people who do what I do for a living,

we give away a lot of free education, like she just said, because we love it. And I know what it's like to be sick, and I also know what it's like to be healthy, and I will never go back to how I felt. And I want everyone to feel the way that I do. And you know, you give it away. Give away as much as you can.

I think when you get to a certain point, you just want, the only thing that makes you feel good is helping people. You bet. That's how I feel too. Katie asks, what is the healthiest, cleanest form of protein for a vegetarian? I'm 44 and trying my best to eat enough protein every day

to keep some muscle as I age, but I don't want to rely on junk protein like soy products or processed stuff to get it. I don't think I can go back to eating real meat, but I do eat fish and I'm not opposed to some animal products, please help. I love your other advice the last time you were on the podcast.

Thank you. Well, I'm gonna tell you, if you're not opposed to some animal products, if you want a protein shake, I'm a huge fan of a paleo protein shake, which is bone broth protein. We have a wild, we call it wild paleo. It's the cleanest. It's 23 grams of protein, I think. And then by the time I've put everything in it in the morning, it's about 36 grams of protein in the morning. So it's a paleo bone broth protein. So if you're not opposed to animal protein, then I would find a good paleo protein,

like a bone broth protein. But there are clean vegan protein shakes out there that are cranberry, chia, pea, hemp, and rice protein. I think we do a good job with them. We have multiple ones. And then I just brought in the first whey protein ever. I can't drink it because I can't drink dairy. Whey makes me swollen.

Well, and me, I just would hurt terribly. I tested it and it was amazing. And we brought in a just ingredients one because people have been wanting it. And some people just won't give it up. And I thought, well, if they're gonna be drinking it, to be drinking it, I want it to be just one ingredient, whey protein. It's the best one I've found.

And if you're not against it, and there's great protein in whey protein, but it's inflammatory for a lot of people. And to get your protein as a vegan or or well, vegetarian is different than vegan. They have pea protein. They have pea protein. That's right, we have pea, rice, cranberry, you can't have rice protein. But my favorite one is called,

well, what is it, wild vegan, I think, and it's cranberry chia pea hemp and rice protein, which you couldn't do because the rice was in it. But it's really good, 24 grams of protein. But you know, there's a lot of protein and nuts if you're just eating food, beans, nuts, soy, if you're not sensitive to soy. If you're sensitive to soy, don't eat it.

But soy's not the devil, because again, look at all the Asians who eat the rice and the soy. And they look like freaking babies. Oh my Lord, their skin looks great. Their boobs are up to hear the break. They don't age. Right, no, they don't age at all.

So good, clean, non-GMO soy, I'm not against tofu. I don't know how to cook it. I love it if somebody can cook it. And the beauty of tofu is you can make it taste like anything because it just absorbs everything you put on it. So I'm not a good tofu cooker though. Can you cook tofu?

Tofu scrambles are bomb. And then if you live in Vegas, there's a place called Greens and Proteins out there and they have these tofu fries. I promise you guys, if you're not a tofu fanatic, you will be after you eat these tofu fries. They're good. I like them. They're so good.

Really? Oh, they're amazing, Dani. You will have to go to Vegas one time just so you can have them. I would love to go to Vegas just so I could have those. Yes, absolutely. But you can get plenty of protein in, but I would do it. My first thought is get a paleo protein that's a bone broth protein.

Oh yeah. Where do you get that though? Well, we have it online called Wild Paleo, but I don't know. I mean, you could just find a good one. Ours is clean, organic. I trust all of Dani's supplements. So if you guys are gonna, and this, we're not just plugging just her store,

but like she really does. We do work hard, I'm telling you. Pour her heart and soul into these supplements and you can trust what she has in her supplements. I started with one little shelf like you behind there and now it's gone to a full-blown store. Oh, it's a whole store. We are very blessed.

We have done a lot of work and they're all nutraceuticals, you know, like medical grade stuff. So we do, yeah. And we bring in stuff like if Mimi says, you know, Danny, I've been wanting to try these electrolytes. Like I hate electrolytes. Whatever. So we are now bringing in new things because we have a new store.

You know, whatever, if people are wanting stuff messages will bring it in. But you do have to be careful buying your supplements. You do have to be careful. You know this. There's a lot of crap out there. Well I went to go buy some magnesium because I'm going to try to start taking magnesium again and every magnesium has magnesium steatate or asiatate in it and that they said that that's like the most horrific

magnesium you could have. But all these supplements have it in there. You really should try like our powder magnesium that I do, the one I take, I should have brought you that instead of the Chillax Max. But you know there's magnesium in that Chillax Max. Yeah, I just, you know, I don't know. My body likes something one or two times

and then it like does something crazy. Magnesium threonate is phenomenal for your brain and that's the one I drink at night and then I take my magnesium glycinate. But the threonate, I don't think you would react to and it crosses the blood brain barrier and it helps with memory. And it helps calm you down, helps you sleep,

it'll help you poop as well. And it helps calm you down, helps you sleep. It'll help you poop as well. All magnesium will help you poop. Yeah. But the citrate and the oxide are the ones that are the most. It's crazy because I used to take magnesium all the time. And then one day I started taking it and it just made me so tired, like deathly tired. And I was like groggy the next day after I had taken it. And I was just like, I can't do this. Like there Like it just makes me so tired. But at the same time you're taking those other vitamins though.

I'm not sure. I don't remember. It's been so long since I've taken magnesium. I don't remember you get magnesium is a good one. You need a little bit. Yeah. Just a little bit. I finally incorporated fish oils and vitamin D three and K two back in my diet.

I do the D three and K two once a week. Now I'll break the capsule open and just put a little bit under my tongue just to get it in. And I can take fish oils, no problem. That doesn't affect me. That's two of my five. I think people need a fish oil, a D3,

most people need a probiotic. Most people are not eating enough fermented foods and probiotic rich foods, right? A D3, a fish oil, a probiotic, a magnesium. And I think a good multivitamin, like a full food multivitamin. I just bought some multivitamins off of TikTok shop, the liquid one.

It tastes like almond cookies or something like that. They say it's for hair growth or whatever. The St. Anne Mary Kate or something like that. Mary Ruth. So I'm gonna try a little bit of that to see if my body can handle it. Because if I don't have methylated vitamins, my body, especially B vitamins, I'll be up for three days.

You bet. And so every vitamin we have in that office is methylated. I assume everyone has an MTHFR mutation. But I assume they all have a methylation problem. So we just methylate everything. Everything's methylated So it won't hurt you could help you is how I look at it I'll come in there tomorrow and stock up on some stuff

You need to let me know if you do because it's the new we're at the new store. It's beautiful So I know these are trending right now So this is gonna be a really great thing everyone's gonna want to know about is these probiotic sodas So these oly pops these what are there's another My husband's addicted to those he the Oly Pop me too with cherry vanilla is my favorite. Yeah Yeah, I feel real good about them Love the Oly Pop I think that they are fantastic. I drank a cherry vanilla one yesterday I think that they are fantastic. I drank a cherry vanilla one yesterday.

And they're probiotics? Korean pro. Oh, so maybe that's how I can get my probiotics. And there's some inulin in it and there's prebiotic. Yeah, you could try it. See, I really think they're great. Yeah. What's your favorite flavor?

Is there's like a strawberry lemonade or something like that one? Yeah, there's a strawberry one. I really like that one. I don't like the new Barbie one. I tried that. I didn't like that at all. It was like peachy? Yeah, peach one. I didn't like the new Barbie one. I tried that. I didn't like that. It was like peachy. Yeah, peachy. I didn't like it. But the strawberry vanilla and the orange, the grape one is fantastic. What's the other brand called? Oh, poppy. Poppy is the other one.

Everybody likes that one. I prefer the Ollypop, but it's fine. Whatever. You think they're good ingredients? I do think so. I think so. I mean, I'm not drinking eight a day or even one a day, but I really love it. Oh, yeah. If you were trying to come off a coke, there's... Is there? Oh, then I can't drink it. Is there... they add sugar to it? Let me check. Checking right now. But is it added sugar? Like, or natural sugar that's already in it?

I don't know the difference. Well, it'll say five grams of added sugar, or it'll say five grams sugar. And then if it doesn't say added, they have to put on there. If it's added in it, it would just be the natural sugar. I'ma look because that's a good question. So I think that there's a lot of trendy stuff out there. You just have to always be careful, right?

But I do think Oly Pops are good. But I do think most people need a foundational, and a lot of people always ask, what do we really need? I think D3, most people need some D3. Most people need some fish oil. They need some magnesium, a probiotic, and a multivitamin. That's a basic right there. But other people, some people need extra, you know,

CoQ10 or extra ashwagandha, or some people need, you know, D-ribose or L-carnitine. What about collagen? Collagen seems to be viral right now too. Now I've used collagen for, I don't know how many years, probably over 10 years, and I use a grass-fed, grass-finished glyphosate certified free collagen. So there may be grass finished,

but if there's Roundup on the grass, you're getting, you're still getting it. Do you sell that? Yeah, we do. Okay, cool. Maybe I'll come grab some tomorrow. Yeah, the perfect. Because I can just put them in my morning smoothies.

Yeah, and I don't notice anything. It comes in chocolate and it comes in regular. Like I put it in my coffee. You don't, you're not drinking coffee in the morning, but it dissolves instantly, like instantly. Like I put it in my coffee. You don't, you're not drinking coffee in the morning, but it dissolves instantly. Like instantly you could put it in hot tea. You could put it in your smoothie. Um, I was at the dermatologist Friday getting shaped off.

He said, man, your skin's looking good, Danny, but I've done the same thing for years, maybe it's just working finally. It's Danny for being almost 60 years old, you look fucking great. I am getting ready to be, I'm gonna be 59 in January. Yeah. Thank you. I hope I look as good as you. Your skin is fucking glowing.

Like you are beautiful. You got a head full of hair. I do have hair. I lost a lot of it. I got hair, I got a hair, but I don't have a boyfriend. I feel like you could afford to lose some. You got a lot of hair, baby.

I lost a lot during COVID. It's a little bit different than that. I know it's a miracle I'm still single, right, baby? It is a miracle. These men are just- I date her. Yeah, I know. Danny's a little bit different than that. I know it's a miracle. I'm still single, right? Maybe it is miracle. These men are, yeah, I know Danny's a catch. I tried to hook my dad up with her. I know you did. And, and it, I mean, thankfully it didn't work out because this would have been a whole sad situation. This would have been terrible. Yeah. That would have been a fucking story in my life. It probably would have been love of my life. And then he turns around and dies. I mean, well, that's, that's a, that's a better to have loved and lost.

They say that's Bill's signature move though. Love them and leave them. So I mean, it would have been hard for the course, but no God was protecting you. You didn't want that. You didn't want the headache bunny step mom. I would have loved that God. You'd have been the only step mom I like, dude.

Oh my God. I'm pretty cool. I don't know. I think it's just, you know, I, dude. I would have been awesome. I am pretty cool. I don't know. I think it's just, you know, I'm busy. I do my stuff. I had a woman tell me yesterday, she said, I think this is it, Danny. You really don't need a man to do anything.

But I asked somebody to help me and he was very excited about it and all, because I needed something done at the house. She said, that's it. You asked him for help and he was thrilled to help you because he knows that there's not a darn thing that you can't get done. Think about some of the most successful brands out there

like Aloe Yoga, Allbirds or Skims. Of course, you instantly think of their standout products, their innovation branding and the marketing strategies that make them so popular. But what's often overlooked is the crucial engine behind these brands. The businesses behind the business, what truly drives their success, isn't just the product itself. It's the seamless systems,

tools, and infrastructure that make selling easier and more efficient. Take Shopify, for example. It's the invisible backbone for millions of businesses, helping entrepreneurs and established brands alike streamline their operations, handle payments, manage inventory, and deliver exceptional customer service experiences. Without this kind of business infrastructure, these brands wouldn't be able to scale as rapidly or deliver the ease of shopping that consumers expect today. It's not just about the product, it's about the experience that makes it possible to sell effectively and successfully.

And I think that might be why you have such a hard time finding love because you are so independent. Men want to feel masculine all the time. They want to feel needed.

And that's the same problem that I had. Even with my husband, when we first got together, he would be like, you're just so tough. Like like you're just so tough like we're just so tough about everything can you just soften a little bit and I've softened so much you know and I think that you know especially nowadays men are threatened by women who have their own success going on thankfully my husband's not but in the dating world it's hard. That's what my psychiatrist said he said I think it's an intimidation thing Danny a lot but but. But then that's shame on them

because then they haven't taken the time to get to know me. To get to know me, to know that I can be soft. And I don't have to have a man, but I want a man. And so not to do life with, I would love to eat well, love well, travel well, those three things. Isn't that complicated? You just want a best friend. You just want a best friend that has a wiener.

Isn't there something? Yes. Literally, I totally want that's how I feel about my husband. Like that's my best friend and he has a wiener that I can hop on every now and then, you know? So, and that's all we really want. I think if Jan and I didn't work out, I would be just like you. I would not, I would want somebody, but I would like, but I would be very picky. I'm not gonna settle. Right, about who I have and my energy. I'm not going to settle.

You earned that right though. You have worked your ass off to get to where you are and you don't have to just settle for anybody. No. Because you are special and you deserve to have somebody who makes you feel special. And we all do. We all do.

For sure. Jaime's got, his girlfriend's got the nicest rack I've ever seen. What? I just saw her the other night. I had to not look at her for too long because her boobies were so luscious and delicious. I was like, okay, go Jaime.

I've been missing out. I love them. And they're real. They're real. Like her rack is huge. And she sings like an angel. Oh yeah. She got nice tits and can sing.

She can sing. Does she ever sing topless to you? If she hasn't, we need to make that happen. What were you going to say? You, but you brought up something. Oh no, the added sugars for the, the poppy. The poppies have three added sugars. Three grams.

So a teaspoon. Yeah. The poppies have three added sugars. Three grams, so a teaspoon. Mm-hmm. Yeah. The poppies do. Porquito. Porquito. Okay, what about it? It was very little. Just a tiny bit, tiny bit.

Yeah, no, I love them. I love those sodas. I'm happy to hear that they're good. Yeah, and I think, you know, that's one good way. I mean, and get your, eat your probiotics, you know? I mean, nobody's eating, very few people are eating kimchi. I do. And sauerkraut. Well, I love it too, but not- I will eat it with every meal. know? I mean, nobody's eating, very few people are eating kimchi. I do.

And sauerkraut. Well, I love it too. I will eat it with every meal. Yeah. I love it. What's another good source if someone doesn't like, cause I can't do the sauerkraut. She shoved down some sauerkraut.

I put cut up sausage and put it with sauerkraut. Oh my God, it's so good. I try to eat really green bananas. Green bananas. Green bananas? Artichokes. Green bananas are a good prebiotic. Prebiotic, yeah. So they're prebiotics and artichokes, Jerusalem artich a good prebiotic. Prebiotic, yeah.

Prebiotics and artichokes, Jerusalem artichokes, prebiotic. What's a green banana? Like an unripe banana? Yes. Yes. And I do eat the hell out of some artichokes. I have an artichoke tattoo. That's how much I love them.

Yeah. What? I do. You got to teach me how to cook them. Man, it took a half a day to cook them. Oh no. You just boil it in water and then you make this mayonnaise, not real mayonnaise, of course we use-

We use vegan-aise or whatever. Yeah. And you put garlic in it. Oh my God. And you mix it together and you just fucking dip. My daughter loves it too. She'll eat artichokes all day with me. So good.

I love artichokes. Yeah, I do. Danny. Well, I'm proud of you. You're kicking it over here. You're doing it. You're fighting for your health. You're fighting for other women and men,

but you're such a role model to these women that you can overcome. I love you. And overcome. And I appreciate that. You're a true warrior. I appreciate that, but you are the same. You're my birthday twin, right?

Aren't you? What are you, January 21st? 18th. January 18th. Yeah, we're on the same. You're my birthday twin, right? Aren't you, what are you, January 21st? 18th. Or the 18th. Yeah, we're on the same cusp. Yep, we are. We're on the same cusp as Dolly Parton. Yes, we are.

You have moved places into a bigger, nicer area. All one level, you're gonna love it. It's really cool. It's about to give me a nervous breakdown, but yes, and it's cool. And Jackson will come out of school eventually. The reason I'm doing it now is he'll come out and wants to go into practice with me. Have a pelvic floor physical therapist in there with me now, who is unbelievable.

I need that. She's practical. Oh, she's phenomenal. She's, they come from all over to see her. She's amazing. What do they do? Well, pelvic floor. So women's pelvic floor.

Like I went to see her, my urologist sent me to her five years ago, because I was peeing on myself. I'd laugh or jump or whatever, and you know, just old. And I'm getting older. And she does, she gets up and personal in there. All in there. And checks your vaginal tone, your pelvic tone. When you're doing Kegels, when you're doing, she taught me the proper way to do Kegels.

I'm a nurse midwife, I thought I knew all that. No, I didn't. Wow. You always do them on the exhale. You never do them on the inhale. A Kegel on the exhale. On the exhale, so. So teach me how to do a Kegel.

So let's inhale. Okay. And let's do it, hang on, here we go. On the exhale. Squeeze it up, squeeze it up, squeeze it up. The beauty of Kegels is you can squeeze them, you can do Kegels, you can do 100 of them sitting here. So when you do a Kegel, you don up, squeeze it up. The beauty of kegels is you can squeeze them. You can do kegels, you can do 100 of them sitting here. Nobody ever knows.

So when you do a kegel, you don't just go like this. No, you don't pull it up like an elevator. Hold on. Hold it. On the exhale. My pussy feels tighter. It was Jaime breathing with us for a minute. It's amazing. Men can do it too because,

but they get leaky penises the older they get too. So they can kiggle it up. Yes. I never knew that. Oh yeah. Their prostate gets large. Yeah. And then they start dribbling around and you got these guys with a little,

you see the little peepee on the front of them, little poor blesser hearts. Son of a bitch. I know, I know. I'm gonna have to find a guy who doesn't do that. And, oh! Danny, we need to get you a young buck. I need a young one!

We need to get Danny some street meat. Oh, not the street meat again. So anyway, yes, the new... Not that one, but I just mean in general. You all stop. The new place is great. The new place is fantastic. Anybody who comes to Nashville or Brentwood needs to come see us. We'd be thrilled to death to have Bunnies Tribe in there saying hello.

Where did they go? Give them the address? 7105 Bakers Bridge Avenue, right caddy cornered from Costco. We are in the perfect location now. Like everybody goes to Costco and gets a hot dog or a piece of pizza. Then they need to come over to me and get their probiotics.

And get good health products. And then if they want to shop online, they go to dannywilliamson.com. That's right, that's right. And Danny Williamson Wellness is Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, all the things. Of course, I'm not as good at TikTok as you are, but you got us going.

But again, your body's designed to heal itself. And Bunny, that's the thing. Everybody needs to know that, that listens to this. I mean, you've got amazing guests that come on here, but the thing is, our bodies are so resilient and we are so resilient and oftentimes we don't realize, we can't see the forest for the trees. We got so much going on, but just make one little baby step one something

make one little change maybe it is the the sugar or go for a walk go for a walk for a walk after you need I'm gonna do it three nights a week or maybe put your phone down and don't take it to bed we just got a bit I mean they just came out just yesterday. I think I shared it. In fact, it's still on my, it may still be on my Instagram. I probably can't get over to it. That, which we've been saying forever,

do not get your phone in the bedroom with you. No, it's gone. The bed is for sleep and sex only, right? You don't sleep near your phone. You don't have it near your phone. This phone in its settings tells you how far it has to be off of your body to prevent cancer. Wow. It tells you if you go to your settings, which we don't want people doing this because they'll

get off air with you or whatever, but they won't. But you go to your settings to general, you scroll all the way down to legal and regulatory who knew this was in the bowels Do you see it? I mean it legal and regulatory click it the very bottom one says RF exposure that stands for radio frequency exposure and then it tells you Mine is on the second paragraph This must be Five millimeter separation off of your body. It's about a pencil eraser.

So they're covered when you get brain cancer because you put your phone to your head. I always speak on speakerphone. You bet you do. Distance is your friend with radio frequency, with electromagnetic fields. But they just came out with a study, just literally, just this week I think, you know, the further this is away from you, the better. We're seeing a higher rate of testicular cancer on young men because they put their phone,

get your phone out of your pocket, get it away from your testicles. He literally sets it up on the counter. That's crazy. Yes, right? And so back when these were smaller and women put them in their breasts, we saw breast cancers,

the shape of that lithium battery in there. This is radioactive. So you get it off your person. You speak on speakerphone with it, right? You don't put it up your head. You for sure don't have it on your head driving down the road in a metal tube where it's having to work super hard to find a cell signal.

So it's putting out more electromagnetic fields. Yeah, this is a big deal. This was designed, you think Chick-fil-A's designed for addiction? This was highly intentional. Crazy. And that's why the symbol is an apple on the back of it because of Adam and Eve and it has the apple

that has a bite bitten out of it. You bet. So this, it's, you could make yourself crazy thinking about everything that we need to do, but just baby steps. Even if you get the phone away, right? Meta mom of six feet. I've been detaching from my phone a lot.

I've been trying to detach from my phone a lot too. You bet. I feel so much better on days where I'm not online. You bet. You bet you do. It's called fubbing. So we actually wrote about it in here. Don't fub your spouse instead of snubbing your spouse, fubbing, fubbing the phone.

We do, we fub our spouse. There's another reason you may not have a sex drive, right? You're on your frigging phone all the time. Yeah. Put the phone down eyeball to eyeball. There's nothing like eyeball to eyeball, is there? No. And just talking to people.

Yeah. Yeah. So again, it's all about allostatic load and it's just, nobody's perfect. Nobody's got all these balls in the air at the same time in beautiful rhythm. Somebody's kids going haywire or, you know, out whatever, happening to him, you know, somebody's finances are falling apart.

Maybe, you know, you don't have time to cook and you had to eat a pizza, but it's okay. Tomorrow's a new day. Yep. Tomorrow's a new day. Just as long as you take those baby steps. Baby steps. Just change something once a week. Once a week.

Up it to twice. And read. Up it to three times. Because there's so much free stuff online, but you gotta also know who you're reading, because there's a lot of crap. But I mean, the basic stuff, read about it, start making changes. And I'm telling you, we've got this beautiful life,

and don't waste it. Because just like what happened to you, a couple weeks ago, that was very scary. What happened to me last week when she said, Danny, I've got a biopsy this because this could be cervical cancer. I was like, what? I've just gotten everything in order. Right?

That's how I felt too. I was like, my life is great. I even said, I was like, Lord, you have given me my dream life. Are you really going to take it from me? Yes. And I am telling you, don't wait until you have a wake up call. Right.

Don't do that. Do it now, because here's the beauty, and I know, I know we gotta go, but here's the thing. No, you're fine. If you get diagnosed with a cancer, right? If you get diagnosed with a stage three cancer, and you've spent 15 years reversing inflammation in your body or you get diagnosed

with a stage two and you've really worked hard doing work in the steps, then that's a blessing that it's a stage two and not a stage four because guess what, had you not been doing the work the last four years or 10 years or whatever, that would be a stage four cancer and we don't have a stage five cancer. So don't discount the fact if you do get a bad diagnosis and you've really been working hard on something through the years that you probably saved your life. Yeah, absolutely. Because you've decreased inflammation

and you've really been working. So I think that's hard to hear when you're going through the fire, but yeah. Yeah, but it's needed to be heard. So, well, we love you, Dani. Thank you for coming on again. I can't wait to have you back. You're one of my favorite people to sit down

and just pick your brain because it's just so crazy, the wealth of knowledge that just flows out of you. So I really appreciate you coming here. Thank you. Well, I love what I do. And I'm blessed every day to get to go open those doors and it's emotional. And today, like I said, it's my 10 year anniversary

of leaving my office, stepping out of that boat to open that clinic. And 10 years today and it's very emotional because I could have gone bankrupt, which, you know, if I did, I did, right? But if you don't take chances, you never know. My thought was what's the worst case scenario? I go bankrupt.

Well, okay, well. Get up and try again. Try again. That's right, baby. And you know, I didn't have to. I was blessed. I walked on water and anyone can. If you're scared, I mean, do it scared.

You've done everything scared your entire life. So have I. Yeah. I thrive on being scared. I do too. I do too. If it doesn't make my butthole pucker, I don't want to do it. That's right. So I, that's right. I thrive on being scared too, apparently.

Yeah. You know, I'm getting older now though. We're adrenaline junkies. We are adrenaline junkies. That's fact, unlike Chachi over there. Oh, he's sleeping, man. Look at him. All right, guys, we are out of here. Thank you guys for listening to another episode of Dumb Blonde. I will see you guys next week. Bye.
