hello and welcome to misunderstood the show for the culturally and politically misunderstood
00:00:23.760
lady gent or non-binary nipple owner we are your hosts i'm nat and i'm fat today we're talking
00:00:32.320
about health the good the bad and the ugly when it comes to mental health alzheimer's disease and
00:00:37.440
body image hello but first our patented culture shock moment of the week let's take it away nat
00:00:44.320
it's actually nerd um all righty so joe biden had a trans tiktok influencer join him in a conversation
00:00:52.400
at the white house to discuss girlhood and transness um so we just wanted to show you a clip from that
00:00:59.520
do you think states should have a right to ban gender-affirming health care i don't think any
00:01:04.960
state or anybody should have the right to do that as a moral question and as a legal question i just
00:01:10.640
think it's wrong do you think um it's funny that dylan all of a sudden is like super serious and
00:01:21.920
like like do you think that the state should have a right like who when did you ever care about rights
00:01:28.080
and states and children ever no it's such a good point and that's something that they actually
00:01:32.880
addressed in a video uh pre a precursor video before uh dylan met with the president she was like or he
00:01:41.280
was like i'm i know i'm always so silly and it's hard to take me seriously but now guys now it's time
00:01:47.680
to take me seriously and you're like as you're wearing the trans flag as an outfit and by the way
00:01:52.160
your outfit was very out of style just for the record i really didn't like that well that's how dylan
00:01:57.440
is yeah this individual dresses like a car a caricature of a woman yeah and um i was listening to
00:02:05.200
stephen crowder's take on it um earlier and he was mentioning how it's like they tried to remember
00:02:10.720
when they tried to make barbie fat because they're like oh you don't want exactly you don't want to
00:02:15.280
have like a caricature of what a woman should look like but it's like but then we're gonna send this
00:02:19.360
literal caricature to the white house like who care do i care that they go to the white house
00:02:24.080
no i'm not american i'm never gonna get invited there even if i was probably one day we're very
00:02:29.120
famous that's true but like it's sort of weird that this person who is silly on tiktok and literally
00:02:36.320
like dances in a bathing suit and is like i'm a girl suddenly being taken all of a sudden yeah you're
00:02:41.120
not talking about like policy they're the white house expert yeah because that's all that's the
00:02:45.520
only person they could ask like i don't know maybe call in blair white but that would be yeah no yeah
00:02:50.400
yeah because she's a person who's actually lived as a woman for many years yeah like an actual
00:02:55.040
transgender individual but they're conservative right and it's also like is dylan really equipped
00:03:00.320
with the knowledge to be able to tackle these sorts of issues like sure they're trans but that
00:03:04.880
doesn't mean they know what's actually going on in america it's a big country it is a big country
00:03:09.280
and yeah exactly like for going from dancing in a bikini to now talking about policy it's like
00:03:14.000
you've shown no interest in this at any point but now all of a sudden you're an expert they're an
00:03:18.240
expert even though there are actual trans people like blair white who have talked about these issues
00:03:22.800
for a long time yeah it's just it's a it's embarrassing that joe biden i think would invite
00:03:27.920
this person is embarrassing the whole thing is embarrassing talk about girlhood anyways anyway
00:03:33.760
anyways shut up dylan okay that's what i have to say about that woman face am i right okay
00:03:39.120
all right speaking of mental health issues yeah anne hathaway i was so stressed out she reveals she
00:03:46.000
missed great moments at the start of her career because she was worried about messing up
00:03:51.520
yeah it's just crazy how powerful fear is yeah it is it's so crazy and how stifling it is and how
00:03:57.200
how it can really impact your entire life because you're too afraid to you know take that leap of faith
00:04:02.480
or to go to the party or to talk to the person or to audition for the thing like it's it's crazy how it
00:04:07.440
can literally ruin your life if you let it yeah and even though it didn't ruin her life she obviously
00:04:11.760
is like super successful and beautiful and talented it's interesting how she's like looking back now in
00:04:16.560
her younger years and it's like i didn't even enjoy any of that because i was so caught up in my own
00:04:20.480
head and it's so sad like it is sad it's like the prime of her life and her career is the prime of her
00:04:25.520
life and and it's over you'll never get it back in hindsight really is 2020 yeah i wanted to mention that
00:04:31.360
this reminds me you know when people talk about mindfulness and it's like the most annoying thing on the
00:04:35.120
planet and i'm going to talk about mindfulness right now so annoying so i'm taking this hypnobirthing
00:04:41.040
class to prepare me for giving birth painlessly that's right um and they talked about mindfulness
00:04:46.480
and i was like but i didn't really understand what it is and it's actually quite simple it's literally
00:04:50.960
just break using a trick it's like it's using a trick to bring yourself into the current moment so
00:04:55.920
not worrying about the fear of the future or the stressors of the past which you cannot change
00:05:00.240
um and there's like some um tips that they give you in order to like stay in the moment so perhaps
00:05:07.280
if ann hathaway had like been aware of like how to do this when she was younger she could have just
00:05:12.000
been like i'm i'm doing this i'm good i'm like you can do it exactly so there are a couple tips that i
00:05:17.600
learned um you can stare at something visually and just be like oh i'm looking at a red ball this red
00:05:22.560
ball right here it's shiny it's red whatever so you're just like focused exactly focusing on something
00:05:27.520
currently in the room with you you can do it audibly where you're like what sounds am i hearing i'm
00:05:31.840
hearing the fan i'm hearing the buzzing of the lights i'm hearing nat's beautiful
00:05:35.680
voice whatever it is generous and then there's also touch i can touch nat's hair i can feel the
00:05:40.480
fluffy softness of it like there there are ways to bring yourself in and it sounds silly and the word
00:05:44.720
mindfulness really irks me yeah but it's better than if you if you find yourself like for me i wake up in
00:05:50.880
the night because i can't sleep and i'm like oh like this and this and this and this i'm sure it happens to
00:05:55.440
all a lot of people lately i've been like listen to the fan like the sound of the rotating things
00:06:00.320
or whatever counting sheep exactly yeah you're just focusing on something and it's actually hard at
00:06:04.160
first but it gets easier and easier so heller and hathaway you're welcome yeah and i think one thing
00:06:09.040
too like i'm a naturally anxious person and my mom always describes me as a fatalist but i think one
00:06:14.000
thing that's also helped set me free from that even though i still have days where i get super anxious
00:06:19.040
and you know i can't i can't reconcile that it's not the end of the world yeah i found i find that my
00:06:24.400
faith has really helped me in that yes because like the bible like is very clear on this like
00:06:29.520
his yoke is easy and his burden is light that's talking about jesus and like you can cast your
00:06:33.440
burdens on him like he wants to carry that for you and that's something that's really helped me yeah
00:06:38.160
so i mean i think just having faith like i've talked about this before i used to have a lot of
00:06:42.480
anxiety as well and since i became a christian like for me becoming a christian is literally just
00:06:47.440
like in my own heart i was like i feel like i believe in god now i feel like these are things
00:06:53.360
that i these are things i want to live by and like um yeah it's definitely a heart thing exactly
00:06:58.320
i haven't read the whole bible so it takes a long time it takes a long time but very long but it has
00:07:03.040
completely eased my anxiety and that's for me personally i can't attest to that for everybody
00:07:07.280
exactly absolutely but i just can't imagine going through this life without it and so life is
00:07:13.360
is terrifying it's so yeah life is hard so i'm which takes us to our next article yeah yeah this
00:07:17.920
is a really sad yeah this is very sad so this comes from vice um young people are taking more
00:07:23.760
drugs now because life sucks now again just even just in the article title it's like okay you whoever
00:07:30.320
wrote this article has no faith yeah you can tell you can the whole article is written exactly exactly
00:07:35.360
because there's nothing you can do life just sucks oh the climate all this and that like cost of
00:07:39.520
housing yeah those are all i mean climate yeah but like there are real stressors in the world
00:07:44.240
yeah but these poor kids like you don't know how to cope they don't know how to cope and i i mean we
00:07:49.040
can get to that later like what's the solution here but we'll just maybe talk about some of the data so
00:07:55.200
uh this is a base in the uk so new research from a youth charity called the mix recently reported a 50
00:08:01.040
rise in the number of young people taking drugs since 2021 with one in three ages 16 to 25 year old
00:08:06.560
using drugs in the past year one in five are primarily using substances to escape problems
00:08:12.160
in their lives so these kids are literally self-medicating yeah 50 increase and that's
00:08:16.560
only from 2021 yeah to now so it's only it's almost 2023 so it's like almost two years but like people
00:08:24.080
have been doing drugs for a long time this is not like a little it's not like oh they're 50 increase
00:08:29.680
since 1920 it's like since 2021 that's absolutely it's been a day it's absolutely terrifying it's so
00:08:35.760
terrifying and it's scary that these kids are not equipped with the tools to be able to cope with
00:08:41.280
everyday stressors in their lives and it's like who's to blame here i'm not sure is it because
00:08:45.120
they're the generation where parents just kind of affirmed their emotions and didn't teach them how
00:08:50.240
to like reconcile them or is it like is it society is it because a lot of kids have turned to the
00:08:55.680
internet to parent them or is it secularism i don't know what it is but it's yeah there's something
00:09:00.240
here and it's it's a crisis it is literally a crisis in the article they mention at the end where
00:09:06.320
it's like climate change um the pandemic cost of living are all uh to blame one of the things that
00:09:13.440
i found very interesting was like um it says that the housing crisis uh reasons uh blah blah sorry it
00:09:18.880
says mentions the looming climate crisis as an as a reason for people to be so depressed and i'm like
00:09:24.160
like did you accidentally write climate crisis instead of like nuclear war yeah like the looming
00:09:29.600
climate crisis like any day now the climate might kill us all it might incinerate us it's like if
00:09:35.280
there's a looming crisis it's literally nuclear war but anyways that's which is so sad because it's
00:09:40.160
just propaganda is making these kids terrified for their lives so they're unable to cope so they're
00:09:44.800
turning to substances and then like in one hand you'll have someone like exactly what you're saying
00:09:49.520
like propaganda you'll have one article being like oh the climate crisis is going to kill us all and
00:09:53.280
they're like these poor kids yeah it makes no sense like well especially you are feeding this
00:09:57.920
especially because vice refers to the pandemic and lockdowns and stuff and i'm not i don't know
00:10:02.240
i'd have don't read vice every single day but i have a feeling they were kind of more on the pro
00:10:06.160
lockdown side given that was the more liberal side so it's like okay lockdown is yeah why these kids
00:10:11.200
have turned to abusing these substances yet like yet they're saying these poor children they're all
00:10:16.320
addicted to drugs it's like it's literally you're part of the problem vice yeah you're part of the problem
00:10:20.800
yeah so one of the stories they have fake names here what this one girl um there's one named sasha
00:10:27.440
who's 20 and uses ketamine regularly to escape her problems um one of the things that they write is
00:10:33.520
that um hold on you can't control your emotions yeah hold on i actually wanted to talk about emily the
00:10:41.680
other one so she talks about how she can't meet ends meet and the cost of housing is so high in the uk
00:10:48.800
which it's very valley it's a it's a valuable it's valid yeah it's a valid insight exactly but
00:10:55.360
they say that she had to take out a thousand pound loan just to meet ends meet and it's like
00:11:00.080
so you're taking out money to buy drugs because you can't afford your life which is horrifying
00:11:06.720
and also the same girl she admits to doing mdma she does ketamine regularly and she does mdma at least
00:11:12.240
once a week and i looked and i've so i've done mdma and i did it like multiple times in a row when i
00:11:18.880
was in college and i did experience what i'm about to talk about which is your inability to create your
00:11:24.000
own serotonin so right mdma causes greater release of serotonin and neo research how to say this word
00:11:31.200
neo damn it it's a really tough thing um so it increases your levels of serotonin and basically it makes
00:11:41.680
your body in it gives it an inability to create its own serotonin so that causes depression and
00:11:48.560
anxiety well it's the highs and lows exactly but you only like after experiencing such a high from
00:11:53.280
mdma you only experience lows yeah and this girl is saying she uses mdma to escape her life because
00:11:59.840
she has so much depression and anxiety and it's actually causing it's causing it and it's so sad
00:12:04.320
because only maybe only some nerdy doctor will tell her that but it's like it needs to be more commonly
00:12:10.000
known it's like yeah it it the fact that she only started doing this drug in like 2021 so she's one
00:12:15.760
of these during the pandemic exactly so during the pandemic during lockdown she gets depressed she
00:12:20.240
starts taking drugs it makes her it makes her brain literally and unable to produce the happy chemicals
00:12:25.520
that make us feel good and feel relaxed especially at that age though like that why this article is so
00:12:30.480
depressing isn't that these young people are turning to drugs although that's terrible it's that like
00:12:35.280
like what's even worse about it is that kid they're in the prime of their life and they feel hopeless
00:12:40.880
already like when i was 22 i mean i you know you you go through the ups and downs and the trials of
00:12:46.320
being in your early 20s but good lord i wasn't hopeless i was not hopeless at like you're literally just
00:12:51.520
fresh out of high school or fresh out of university you've like the whole world should be your oyster
00:12:55.920
and yet you're like oh crap i don't know how to cope with adulthood i would argue that the 20s are not the
00:13:00.880
prime of your life like i'm way happier in my 30s no for sure like you're more insecure exactly but
00:13:05.520
like still you like you can do whatever you want with your life like there's so many choices available
00:13:10.880
to you especially if you're living in like that's scary oh for sure and there are scary parts of
00:13:15.120
growing up and like for me leaving college or leaving university and not knowing what i was going
00:13:19.360
to do next like that was a low for me oh of course it would be because you were like oh crap i'm an
00:13:23.760
adult now what do i do but imagine if i had gone down the road of ketamine like i and i'm not above it
00:13:30.000
because like i've done drugs in my life like so it's like i was exposed to it and i enjoyed doing
00:13:35.840
drugs and it's like i could have just gone down that road i've been like oh i'm taking out money
00:13:40.480
now to pay for my ketamine addiction like and it's a permanent addiction i guess to answer your
00:13:46.320
question from earlier it's like i blame the parents maybe i kind of do too because it's like
00:13:50.640
maybe you know parents should invest more time and not only educating their kids about drugs and
00:13:55.600
the safety of drugs and stuff but also like you know this is this is what you can do once you go
00:14:00.000
out of university these are the options for you this is maybe if you don't want to you know go in
00:14:04.160
this industry i don't know like just better equip kids maybe and prepare them for the culture shock
00:14:08.880
that is becoming a a member of society yeah it is a shock but yeah everyone has to do it and that's
00:14:14.640
yeah it's just like waking up in the morning it stinks but we have to do it we have to move forward
00:14:20.240
it's so true okay so one of the other things the article says is according to the mix report only
00:14:25.760
28 of young drug users who have experienced issues with substance use have access any support or
00:14:31.280
services meaning that over 2.2 million young people who are struggling are struggling without help
00:14:37.600
like it's so heartbreaking what's going to come what's going to become of these people they're the
00:14:41.280
future of society like it's literally it comes down to them like what's going to happen if we just
00:14:46.560
have a bunch of drug addicts running around or people who just don't know how to cope yeah that's
00:14:51.120
that's the scary part they don't know how to cope and it's funny because you have joe biden sitting
00:14:55.680
down with a transgender person talking about like oh like girlhood yeah girlhood and like how important
00:15:01.280
it is to for gender forming care for children to get spliced and diced yeah but meanwhile you have
00:15:06.960
actual i mean this is in the uk but i'm sure it translates to the united states sure and even in
00:15:12.640
canada like in the uk you have these young kids like just another one happened today where they
00:15:16.720
threw mashed potatoes on a what was it a painting it wasn't a picasso it was a van gore or something
00:15:22.080
something right um like what are we doing here we have we obviously have the resources to help these
00:15:28.560
kids but we're pouring them into like climate change propaganda and fear-mongering yeah and like
00:15:33.360
and like fear-mongering about covid and fear-mongering about like oh trans kids aren't allowed to it's
00:15:38.880
misguided it's so misguided when we actually have a problem in front of our faces and it needs
00:15:43.520
a solution and we're like oh but the climate yeah it makes me put on a tinfoil hat a little
00:15:48.400
because i'm like is this all contrived like is the government just want these people to become
00:15:52.400
addicted to substances so they're easier to control because i mean if kids are throwing you know tomato
00:15:57.840
soup at priceless paintings i mean it in the name of climate change like something's clearly gone very
00:16:03.040
wrong yeah someone told them to do that they're easy to they're easily influenced right they're under the
00:16:07.520
control of the propaganda i guess i don't know yeah it's like where's the book yeah i could go
00:16:12.960
on we could go on about this this article is just it's a good article to read it's so sad even though
00:16:18.560
vice comes at it from a point of view where it's like oh what can we do there's nothing because the
00:16:22.560
world sucks so much it's like well if they like talking about faith like before if they had a little
00:16:27.440
bit of religion in their life maybe it doesn't work for everybody but i would argue that even the most
00:16:33.360
hollowed out lowest person would benefit from a little faith it's so true because that's where
00:16:38.240
your hope is found like my hope is in eternity i'm like this earth it's it's crappy it sucks i
00:16:43.920
mean there's many blessings that come with being alive and stuff but i you need to look beyond the
00:16:48.880
tangible you know it's like okay great that's what faith is yeah it's like they're like oh i can't see
00:16:54.080
it so i i can't trust it but it's like you take the leap of faith knowing that things are going to be
00:16:59.600
okay and that even if you suffer in this life you're not going to suffer in the next and it's
00:17:03.920
and it's there will be amazing things that come that are tangible on earth from professing your
00:17:09.440
faith and giving your life to christ so anyway anywho jesus loves you anyway speaking of sad yeah
00:17:16.000
kendall jenner recalls putting up walls after middle school friends began asking to come over to appear
00:17:20.320
on her family reality show um and so she basically just talks about yeah um she also said in an
00:17:28.960
interview in 2018 that she talked about feeling really lonely during her childhood and i mean
00:17:34.960
yeah it's like kind of like all right kendall whatever but it's also kind of sad that you can
00:17:39.280
have everything and nothing at the same time that's what makes it sad you know and also i think just
00:17:44.800
the fact that kylie and kendall when the uh keeping up with the kardashians launched they were so young
00:17:49.440
and they did not have any idea that their lives were going to blow up like that and the problem is now
00:17:54.800
no matter what they do they can't escape this life like they're trapped in this life yeah it's
00:17:59.920
kind of sad it is sad i remember um one of the hadids bella maybe was posting instagram videos of
00:18:06.800
her crying yes and while i think it's healthy to like show that not your whole life isn't glitz and
00:18:12.720
glamour it's like what are you so sad about yeah like come on no it's so true and a lot of times it's
00:18:17.840
like they make up problems and it's like if you're crying that often like something's wrong in your life
00:18:22.160
like crying is healthy but to cry like consistently all the times like you i feel really bad for you
00:18:28.640
yeah like no these people are empty yeah they're empty and it's so sad it makes me sad yeah as an
00:18:33.840
outsider anyway don't exploit your kids for fame yeah all right speaking of sad yeah so we're going
00:18:40.640
to talk about alzheimer's and it's like why sorry what are we going to talk about oh she forgot
00:18:46.560
that was a bad joke we all forgot yeah i actually forgot no i literally forgot yeah great okay well
00:18:52.720
if we are suffering from alzheimer's maybe we should take a little bit more vitamin c wait a minute you're
00:18:58.240
you mean to tell me that there are natural ways to prevent vicious diseases no no no it's just you're
00:19:04.960
you're totally wrong it's only pharmaceuticals only medicine just prescribed by your doctor that's it
00:19:11.920
well you know what's interesting about that nat is that there is no pharmaceutical that claims to
00:19:17.120
prevent um alzheimer's oh but there are studies that prove that food and vitamins and exercise and
00:19:25.200
lifestyle changes so a healthy lifestyle can prevent alzheimer's or my girl yeah so it's a win for the
00:19:30.400
good guys that's great this article is from a something called the dr wrath foundation and it's a
00:19:35.920
meta-analysis supports vitamin c supplementation for prevention and treatment of alzheimer's disease so
00:19:41.600
i'm sure everyone knows what alzheimer's is but just very quickly it's a progressive neurodegenerative
00:19:46.240
disorder with an average survival time of less than 10 years following diagnosis alzheimer's disease
00:19:50.880
results in memory loss functional impairment and a host of site psychiatric symptoms such as apathy
00:19:56.000
agitation psychosis and depression it's super sad i have not personally seen um anyone with alzheimer's
00:20:03.360
but if you talk to anyone who has witnessed someone they love going through alzheimer's it's like
00:20:08.320
one of the worst ways to watch someone decay yeah and really it can so there are genetic things like
00:20:15.600
markers that you can have that you can be tested for to see if you're susceptible to it but most of
00:20:20.160
the time it's not even genetics though a lot of these diseases like yeah even like cancer like
00:20:24.880
apparently 90 percent of cancer cases cases are caused by lifestyle not genetics despite the fact that
00:20:30.480
the trend we hear is that oh everything is genetics you can't fight it you can't prevent it
00:20:35.200
so you can't even cure it eat corn pops and you'll exactly and you can do there's this guy who wrote
00:20:40.320
a book called crispy cancer and he discussed his journey because he was 26 years old when he was
00:20:45.600
diagnosed with colon cancer and it was like uh what's it called uh third stage he was in stage
00:20:52.640
three colon cancer sorry and um so they took out part of his colon and then when they were all done he
00:20:58.080
was like so are there any foods i maybe shouldn't eat you know i had and they're like no you're fine
00:21:02.240
no and then they were like oh you should do chemo he's like well if i do chemo are there foods that i
00:21:06.160
should you know should i try to eat a healthy diet they're like no because it's just like
00:21:09.280
they pitied him they're like i eat cheeseburgers fries and all that stuff and so when he controversially
00:21:14.320
decided to uh forego chemo and eat an exclusively raw diet and then cure himself he's still cancer-free
00:21:21.440
i've heard of everyone everyone calls him like a like a crazy person and it's like for taking his
00:21:26.640
health into his own hands and not being a like a drain on the medical system exactly and so it's just it's
00:21:32.160
crazy that we've been lied to so much about the the beauty of just taking care of your body to
00:21:37.840
prevent these things and cure them even i don't know controversial probably gonna get in trouble for
00:21:43.200
this one i don't know just a side note um no that's a really there are so many stories like that
00:21:48.720
i've met people who say exactly that they and then i've also heard stories where it's super unfortunate
00:21:54.400
someone gets diagnosed with cancer they do all the right stuff and then they still die so this is not
00:22:00.080
like a solve your it's not a one-size-fits-all yeah there's everybody is different but i'm just
00:22:05.040
saying if if people you're increasing your chances at survival if you take your diet and your lifestyle
00:22:10.080
into your own hands yeah um we can move past this particular article but i just want to mention that
00:22:15.360
like vitamin c if you google so they'll tell you that 75 milligrams is enough vitamin c for daily intake
00:22:20.960
but that's like very little and i'm not a doctor so i'm not going to tell anyone how much to take but
00:22:25.120
do a little research do a little digging because you can take a lot more than that yeah um and you
00:22:30.480
should yeah you should especially in the winter if you live in canada and they also say um b1 b6 b12
00:22:37.840
and e also may contribute to the development of the disorder if you don't have enough of those
00:22:43.360
vitamins as well so guys take care of your bodies just most of us are depleted of critical vitamins like
00:22:50.960
and we all know this probably by now but like 80 percent of covid patients in the in the er not
00:22:56.400
the er sorry in the yeah maybe yeah anyways they were all 80 percent of people hospitalized for covid
00:23:02.720
were deficient in vitamin d super important um and you can't say that no you can't yeah there's
00:23:07.360
a really good um resource on all this um dr mercola i highly recommend him he has been in so much
00:23:12.880
trouble from the mainstream media and big pharma because he has all these like natural remedies
00:23:17.600
so his articles have to be taken down after 24 hours unless he'd be sued so it's you can't really
00:23:23.840
go back and read all this stuff which is unfortunate but if you subscribe go to his website dr mercola
00:23:28.880
um you'll find so much interesting stuff it's almost overwhelming yeah how much stuff it's like oh god
00:23:33.360
it's just so sad though that our doctors don't like no they don't care about nutrition it's like you're
00:23:38.720
just well some of them do and then they get sued right exactly that's the thing though it's not the
00:23:42.320
it's not the mainstream anymore it's just like okay i'm gonna give you these drugs and i'm gonna
00:23:47.600
get money from these drugs because of big pharma and all this stuff it's just it's horrible that
00:23:52.320
our health care is not health care and i think the pandemic was prevention exactly and i think the
00:23:57.840
pandemic was so beautiful and wonderful in that way because it exposed so much of this to us and i
00:24:03.040
think there's so much more that we could even uncover but yeah anyway we'll move on yeah so we can
00:24:08.560
actually like talk about both these articles at the same time because there are so many overlapping
00:24:12.640
things here so there's this guy named matt lugover he was on joe rogan recently which is how i found out
00:24:18.080
about him he has so his mother had not alzheimer's but a degenerative uh mental disorder like alzheimer's
00:24:25.840
right dementia um a really really rare aggressive form of dementia but this this article is about 11
00:24:33.600
powerful nootropic memory enhancing food so a nootropic is something that is used to enhance your
00:24:37.840
memory and cognitive functions so he there are supplements and drugs that you can take to improve
00:24:45.520
like that are nootropic however matt lugover insists who is i'll just say he's a top health podcaster
00:24:51.360
wellness journalist filmmaker and author um he has a list of foods that he says are better than any
00:24:56.800
supplement or drug yeah which makes sense because god was like hey you're gonna need these and so he gave
00:25:02.400
us exactly these these naturally occurring foods and exactly and when you eat something that's just
00:25:08.400
for one thing like if you take oh i'm taking this nootropic drug like the the things on this list
00:25:13.680
the foods are going to give you a whole other slew of health benefits that you're also yeah exactly
00:25:18.480
so we'll just run through them eggs leafy dark greens dark chocolate coffee green tea extra virgin olive
00:25:25.440
oil broccoli sprouts blueberries turmeric fatty fish and water because even not water yeah water no
00:25:31.920
yeah it's just a life source yeah surprising it needs to be on the list but i guess it really does
00:25:36.720
well yeah even mild dehydration can cause brain uh dysfunction so yeah which makes sense because i
00:25:41.920
get pretty grumpy when i'm oh yeah me too i get like angry and sleepy and mean um and the reason i
00:25:48.000
wanted to mix that in with this other article which is from health harvard is because so many of the
00:25:51.680
things that they say to this article is about how to prevent alzheimer's disease so basically it's
00:25:56.480
just taking care of your body exactly and the things that they mention on here are pretty much the exact
00:26:00.240
same foods yeah plus wine plus yeah plus red wine it's the mediterranean diet that they call it um
00:26:07.200
but then there's other things on the list of course like sleep and exercise exactly and um and also
00:26:13.200
social connection exactly which i was like hmm heller lockdown heller yeah no it totally makes sense
00:26:19.040
yeah even like um my sebastian's grandmother my husband's grandmother she is like 80 something and
00:26:27.680
she is so sharp because she gets up every day and she goes to work for like a few hours and she does
00:26:32.800
her little things and then she goes home and she does her little things and like doing those kinds of
00:26:37.040
things like not only is she seeing someone but she's actually doing work with her brain it just keeps
00:26:41.680
you so much like longer that was another one on the list um uh learning new things or yeah
00:26:48.080
constantly doing things um creates like keeps neural pathways right because sharp when you're
00:26:53.920
like retired and you just sit at home and watch tv all day your brain is just going to turn literally
00:26:57.760
deteriorate yeah so it's like you've got to stay active in your old age so you're never really retiring
00:27:02.560
folks unfortunately and the reason that i wanted to bring this up now is like yeah sure we're
00:27:06.240
young but you might be young but you can start you should be concerned about preventing this now
00:27:14.000
yeah you only get one body exactly we have my mom is my parents are in their 60s like these are
00:27:19.280
important things to share with people that you love because it's like you want the best for them so
00:27:24.160
it's never too early to start eating high fat diet no yeah and avoiding processed food and sugar
00:27:29.840
and getting enough sleep and exercise and taking care of your brain yeah the cancer chris guy chris
00:27:36.480
beat cancer he said that if it if it's made by a man don't eat it so what about god well he's not
00:27:43.680
man okay true yeah but yeah so much more but anyway okay let's move on yeah we'll move on uh so body
00:27:49.120
image drew barrymore shuns plastic surgery says i don't want to fight nature so base yeah so she says i'm
00:27:55.200
raising two daughters and we were raised in an industry where it was desired to drink off the fountain of
00:27:58.960
youth and i just never subscribed to it she continued per express i think men just need to
00:28:03.440
let women know aging is safe and awesome yeah it's so true and it's so refreshing to see a celebrity
00:28:09.760
come out and say this and yeah i saw someone post about this on twitter too about how like everyone
00:28:14.640
who gets plastic surgery now literally just looks the exact same so you've basically erased all
00:28:19.920
individuality which is one of the most beautiful parts about being an individual you're you there's
00:28:25.440
nobody like you nobody has your beauty yeah and it's like so sad that we're erasing that by the
00:28:29.760
way to please men because it's like this is what we think men want men want kim kardashian we don't
00:28:34.320
want yeah true but or we don't want other women being like oh look at her wrinkles right as women we
00:28:39.280
need to stop talking like that all together it's so true yeah um i also think it's interesting that like
00:28:44.960
you just said it reminded me of like when people start getting plastic surgery they all start looking
00:28:49.200
the same and it's like you almost start looking like your family yeah like i look like my mom and my dad
00:28:54.880
yeah and sometimes that's not a great thing but but at the end of the day like when i die i would
00:28:59.360
like to look like a krasnowski yeah i want to look family exactly i don't want to look like some pin
00:29:04.640
nose big lips kim kardashian head yeah i'm not a kardashian like it's okay it's okay to look like that
00:29:11.120
they don't really look like that either but you know but like it's okay to like it you should be proud of
00:29:16.880
your heritage and and how you look like your mom and your dad and and you know if you're adopted you're
00:29:21.280
not gonna look like the people that raised you but like you're gonna look like yourself you're
00:29:24.480
gonna look like yourself and that's beautiful and there's nothing wrong with doing things to enhance
00:29:29.040
your your features to make you feel more beautiful or more comfortable in your own skin i'm just saying
00:29:33.520
like you don't need to look like her you are you like you you're enough you're beautiful enough as
00:29:38.400
you are yeah like you know like taking good care of yourself and eating well eating well and even if
00:29:43.440
you want to get a little botox to like maintain yeah like god that you have good god yeah i'm not against it at
00:29:49.600
all i just don't think it's empowering for women to get plastic surgery to look like other women
00:29:54.240
exactly it's like to look like one specific woman exactly which is what everyone seems to be doing
00:29:58.640
yeah um i don't know yeah it's not cool also she also in the same article uh drew barrymore talks
00:30:03.840
about how she hasn't had sex in years yeah because she has young daughters at home and she realized that
00:30:09.120
sex is not love it's an expression of love and the next time she has sex she wants to be in love
00:30:13.040
with someone setting such a good example such an example i had no idea she was so based yeah no i mean
00:30:17.920
she's been in hollywood a long time she's seen oh yeah shit so i respect that respected you very
00:30:22.480
more so our next article speaking of respect yeah this one um so this is a fat positive sharon maxwell
00:30:31.360
talks about her atypical anorexia nervosa diagnosis and tess holiday shows her support so we've talked
00:30:36.480
about tess holiday yeah she's super anorexic whatever anyway uh let's talk about atypical yeah it
00:30:43.760
basically is all the symptoms typically associated with uh anorexia nervosa but some of these include
00:30:49.840
binge eating vomiting dizziness dehydration and fatigue and apparently it first appeared in 2013
00:30:55.360
and because health care providers saw a rising number of patients who all exhibited signs of
00:30:59.280
anorexia except none of them were significantly underweight yeah um i have a few issues with this
00:31:04.880
though do you have any issues with this i have mixed feelings on me too okay so
00:31:10.160
i don't know if you're calling yourself anorexic and then someone who's like genuinely like starving
00:31:16.800
themselves looks at someone like her who's calling herself anorexic i feel like that will probably
00:31:22.800
stir up more body dysmorphia it's like oh my god we're both anorexic yeah that's a good point i
00:31:26.640
haven't thought about that and also what i don't like about it is that she's anorexic but she's fat
00:31:30.560
positive and it's like okay you can suffer from this but that doesn't mean it's okay to be overweight
00:31:34.560
either like it's not healthy to be overweight as well so i i take issue with that because like
00:31:40.640
if you're suffering from this i sympathize but don't call yourself fat positive either yeah that
00:31:45.040
doesn't make any because it's like both are bad both are unhealthy um that's my my take so upon
00:31:51.600
reading this i was like oh i had an eating disorder i guess because when i was in high school i used to do
00:31:56.400
all these things oh yeah me too all of them yeah and it's like like binge eating um calorie counting yeah
00:32:03.200
i didn't vomit no like i never did you know i would i would look into diet pills like i took
00:32:08.400
diet pills at one point didn't last because they were expensive and did nothing and it made me feel
00:32:12.160
sick but um there are things that i did that would definitely be like oh i was anorexic but i was
00:32:18.240
heavier than i've ever been except for right now yeah um no i'm the exact same way i actually i just
00:32:23.840
kept gaining weight yeah yeah because i would literally starve myself all day at school literally eat
00:32:28.960
i had to eat one apple and then i would go home and binge eat on ice cream and chips because i was so
00:32:34.080
delirious and starving and it dinner had passed because i was like i'm not hungry yeah your tummy
00:32:38.960
talks exactly so i do understand how you could be overweight totally and have an eating disorder
00:32:46.080
but then at the same time some someone in the comments on this article actually pointed out they're
00:32:50.160
like if if calorie counting and skipping a meal counts as anorexia like 90 of women like literally
00:32:56.320
everyone exactly yeah like i when i'm before i was pregnant i intermittent fasted yeah me too
00:33:01.840
i do that too and it's the best way for me to maintain my weight yeah and it's like oh so i'm
00:33:06.480
anorexic yeah because i'm concerned about my weight like it's the it's i don't know quite how to feel
00:33:12.960
about it because i do empathize with this woman who has a terrible relationship with her body yeah no
00:33:18.000
it's it's hard something's going on there so it's not like oh you're fat you're fine no no it's almost
00:33:23.040
like you're super overweight you obviously have some messed up relationship with food
00:33:27.840
yeah and call it what you want it's so easy to have a terrible relationship with your body as a
00:33:32.320
woman i feel like because of these expectations that are thrust upon us at such a young age yeah but
00:33:39.200
i don't know like just yeah it irks me yeah it's really just the fat positive thing that really bugs
00:33:44.800
me it's like you you should embrace all bodies are different that's cool and people come in shapes
00:33:49.040
inside and she might be struggling on the inside totally like she might go home and vomit every
00:33:52.800
day and still be fat like i empathize with that but don't try to encourage people to be fat exactly
00:33:58.160
and she's also kind of glamorizing anorexia yeah because like you said it's like a person who's like
00:34:03.360
80 pounds and is actually starving themselves to death is going to see that and be like
00:34:07.040
okay well you're not like i need to go harder yeah exactly i just think it's really dangerous to
00:34:11.360
normalize this yeah i don't know i don't know and i it is i'm there's mixed feelings i have mixed feelings
00:34:16.800
about it too anyway uh but tess holiday is very anorexic that's what i took away from that
00:34:22.320
all right we got one something going on i don't know if it's she got something going on we got one
00:34:26.480
more for you speaking of something going on chloe kardashian details the plastic surgery procedure
00:34:32.880
she wants to get so while filming a confessional for the popular show uh she shared her wish to get
00:34:38.320
breast augmentation because she wants to be more like her sister so surprise surprise
00:34:42.320
super sad yeah it's it's extremely sad um i do appreciate that she's honest yeah i appreciate
00:34:49.040
that she um i i didn't know this but she has admitted to her one nose job yeah um which makes
00:34:55.280
me think that she's oh she's had a lot of other work had more have you seen like we should throw up a
00:34:59.600
side-by-side yes honestly yeah um but at least because i'm pretty sure kim recently said she hasn't
00:35:05.520
yeah i mean kim is just a bundle of mystery she's just a complete liar like i saw a picture someone
00:35:11.440
posted on reddit a picture of her when she was like 13 and she has a completely different nose
00:35:15.760
like she had a nose job but it was probably really young yeah like before she was famous because like
00:35:20.160
if you look back a couple years like that's not that different when she was a little girl she was
00:35:24.320
a gorgeous little girl she was so beautiful face oh yeah and so stunning she anyways the point is is
00:35:29.920
they've all had a lot of work done at least chloe is like yes i've had a nose job i'm thinking of
00:35:33.920
get about getting my boobs done but they've all done that yeah they'll lie about it and i also heard a
00:35:38.640
rumor about how kim actually had her her implants removed because it's like i guess she's trying to
00:35:45.280
be really skinny now yeah she's so tiny but um i'm just like so it's also sad because it's like the
00:35:50.240
trends change yeah and you don't need to you don't need to try to meet them or fit into that mold just
00:35:55.520
wear a different purse like get a little cute bag that's in style and then be trendy and wear like
00:36:01.440
a fuzzy bucket hat just get a nice day yeah you know i don't know eyebrow game up a little bit like
00:36:07.040
to change your actual body for trends right and the thing is if let's say women are getting breast
00:36:11.760
implants because kim kardashian got them whatever and then now kim's like no i'm not gonna do that
00:36:15.760
i'm gonna get them removed not everyone can afford to keep up with that like it's like we
00:36:19.120
will never be able to it's never enough the goalpost keeps moving it's like doug ford's ontario
00:36:24.000
you know so it's just don't try don't play the game don't even play the game i think that's the
00:36:29.200
sure i guess do you have any i wrote one thought is that this is so dumb yeah chloe kardashian so that's a great
00:36:36.160
point yeah i think that's the sure i think that's the sure we covered a lot today uh but i'm exhausted
