Isaac Ho 0:00
I can give you some ideas on like why one thing would be more
beneficial for the other. So let's say for example, your mom
always yelled at you. So you would have a lot of dysregulation to
the auditory part of your brain like that would be blown out.
Does that make sense? It would be like turning on a light too
bright, staring at it as a child. So you're just like, dude, my
eyes are just not right. Now, it doesn't mean it's permanently
like that. It just means right now in your current state without
addressing whatever is going on with it, you have too much
sensitivity to that. That person probably wouldn't do well with
music or sounds. Does that make sense? Because (inaudible)
through that cortex is considered stressful. The signal's off.
Amy Ledin 0:31
Alright, so it's just adding more stress to it.
Isaac Ho 0:33
Yeah. So sometimes, like when people are like, well, what do you
do for coping mechanisms? My answer to that is based off how your
brain is wired in this moment, and then I would switch them. But
ideally, I try to get them not dysfunctional.
Amy Ledin 0:48
What are you doing to create your dream life or your best self?
Why do we see some thrive through challenges while others
struggle? Welcome to F* It!, a podcast where I talk about the
main Fs in my life that have helped me in creating my best self:
faith, family, forgiveness, food, fitness, and formula. Hi, my
name is Amy Ledin and most would say that I've had my fair share
of struggles, whether it was placing my baby for adoption at 18,
facing my marriage-ending affair, or battling stage four cancer
for almost seven years, it's safe to say that I've been through a
lot. Join me as I take you through my story, my journeys, and
share with you the tactical strategies every single week that
will help you thrive and overcome anything you face. That's
right, I'm going to show you how to create a future self that
you'll be proud of. So buckle up, get ready for the ride as I
take you through my story and bring other guests on that have
helped me along the way.
Amy Ledin 1:40
He's back. Yes, Isaac Ho is back for another episode. And today,
we're going to really dive into navigating your body chaos, just
understanding your body's response systems, a lot of us don't
realize that the body keeps score. And if you didn't listen to
the previous episode, Isaac Ho comes with lots of experience, 20
years of experience as a trainer and a therapist. He started his
own journey to repeller his own health. And so it just came from
a genuine interest and desire to help himself. He's been on TV
networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, he's been everywhere. So I'm
really excited to bring part two to you. So here you go.
Amy Ledin 2:27
You know, back then, so he was deployed on submarines, then I
decided that I wanted to go back to finish my degree. So I had a
four-year-old and then I'm basically pregnant. I was like, maybe
six months pregnant, going to Valdosta State University, and I'm
like, I just have to get my degree and crazy, crazy life. That's
when I realized my kids, I gotta be super, super consistent with
them sleeping, because otherwise I'm not gonna get any school
done. So when I, when Kamele was born, she was sleeping through
the night by three months, I had bought a book on how to solve
your child's sleep habits. And I'm like, I cannot have another
child that and it really came back to. It's your parenting
consistency and not learning sure know when to kind of soothe but
not associating with food. Because my other child, I just gave
him a bottle every time when he woke up in the night, then of
course, they just associate, oh, when I wake up and cry, I get a
bottle, this is sweet. I'm just going to cry. (inaudible)
Isaac Ho 2:33
As an adult, we do the same thing like well actually feel bad for
attention and we don't realize we get these depressive streaks
because they've earned us attention. And if we were depressed
around our parents, they would pay attention to us.
Amy Ledin 3:41
Totally. Well, you learn it even with I'm actually that's one of
the podcasts is all about emotional. I mean, it's emotionally
immature parents. And it was one of the first books that my
therapist made me read. And she was like, I listened to it on
Audible and the stories they give. Yes, I was thinking of my
parents, but I'm like, holy crap. I'm that way too, like I have,
you know, and after I read that book, I had my first test of the
tension. And I actually even had my daughter on the podcast, we
talked about this, like triggers and reactions, because she you
know, she's 21 and she's read the Nicole's books and really wants
to learn, but it was a day that I asked my daughter to braid my
hair, because, you know, I don't know how to French braid it. And
she, you know, she was like, 17 and so I'd got up and I'm like,
hey, because I know how teenagers are and I'm like, you know, if
before you leave, you know, if you have time, would you be able
to braid my hair? And she was like, yeah, okay, well then I'm
kind of quiet, kind of watching her and I'm seeing the clock like
she's getting ready to need to leave. And so she kind of just sat
and dilly-dallied with her food and, and so I was getting
annoyed, you know? And she then goes, oh, sorry, mom. I'll have
to do it after school and like we get in the car to leave for
school. Well, now, my seven-year-old self is pissed. Like, and
I'm thinking in my head, how you little ungrateful brat like I do
everything for you and that would have been like my old response,
right? But then her book really talks about, like, unconditional
love and how much that affects us. Right? And that you have to
show your children that it's not their do, it's their who. So my
old self wanted to ice her out, like I seriously would just be
silent the whole way to school. And you know, like, be pouty,
whatever, right? But instead, I was like, okay, I can't show her
that. So I had to fight my like, tantrum self. And I just, like,
converse with her. And it was my pouring into her that when she
got to school, like, after she got there, she was like, hey, by
the way, I'm really sorry that I didn't, you know, braid your
hair, I'll do it first thing next time, you know, and that was
not me needing to force her by, you know, hey, I do this for you
and did it, you know, instead, it was me showing her that
unconditional love how it just flipped for her. And that was kind
of my first moment of like, oh my gosh, I've been doing parenting
wrong. I've been this authoritative, not really talk about a lot
of things, but you just do what I say. And then expecting my
children to, like, grow up. And I started to see it in them that
they had their own emotional immaturity not knowing how to handle
like, this is how we resolve things. We don't silent treatment
someone because that's all learned, right? You just learn how
other people have done that.
Amy Ledin 6:20
I met a really cool couple, like in a mastermind we were in,
super, super successful and they were talking about right when
they got married, that they had their first fight. And she came
from a very healthy family that had conversations and he
obviously didn't, so they get in their first fight, and he
literally stomps into the other room and stops talking and she's
like, what's going on? Are we? And he's like, not understanding
why she's even coming at him. Because in his family, you would
just not speak for a couple of days, and then just go back to it.
And he was she was like, listen, I grew up where we communicate,
like we have conversations. It's just funny how you only know
what you know, right? But anyways, all right. I will remember to
timestamp this.
Amy Ledin 7:05
But I love talking with you, I could talk to you forever. I am
excited about today. Like I'm going to try to just keep this
conversing as much as possible because we came from part one. And
sometimes I can turn on this character not really meaning to but
I want to keep this more like, hey, this is I want to learn as we
go. And we talked about last time, the energy of emotions. And
then today, and I purposely didn't want to go and like Google and
search or things like that. I just wanted to come into this not
knowing like most people. Now we're going to talk about the
physiology of emotions. Now, what came to my mind, of course, was
I thought of it I could be totally off. But I want to think from
the person listening. Okay, well, if I'm thinking of like, the
physiology of emotions, I'm thinking, like blushing, you know,
where you see like, or maybe like, would that be your heart
racing, you know, things like that. That's kind of what I thought
about. So then, of course, if that is the direction we're going,
I'm like, I'm excited, because I'm curious how this all ties
together. And those of you that are listening and joining in now,
this is Isaac Ho and he has been on before. And I'm hoping that
this becomes something where we can just have conversations this
is, you know, if you've not listened to the previous episode, go
back, because these will go together. I mean, obviously, you can
listen to them separately, but you'll hear a big introduction
here with having him on. But Isaac, I'm excited that you're back.
Isaac Ho 8:36
Definitely, I always love talking to you.
Amy Ledin 8:38
So physiology of emotions. Was I on the right path there?
Isaac Ho 8:43
Yeah, absolutely. Last time, we talked about, like the energy of
emotion and how that impacts the body in a physical way, and how
you can be very ill if the quote, let's just say energy, for lack
of a better word, or field is not functioning. And today, our
goal is to teach a little bit about like how that all makes sense
in terms of you in the body that you have. So I think it's hard
for people to picture the energy body as a thing, like, yes,
there are people that might be able to see it. But otherwise, you
need some really advanced tech, right? To actually see energy
fields and project it and they have those in science now. But
they're not, they're not inexpensive. So what we're really
talking about today, I think, is how most people kind of
interface with the idea of stress which is in the mental body.
And then how that becomes a physical body problem because we know
we have a mental body, it's the way that you're you can be in a
coma and your mental body is shut off. It's active, but it's shut
off from access to the physical body, yet the physical body still
exists and still operates. And so we take the idea that there are
two different bodies here there's the mental body and there's the
physical body and we forget about the energetic body. You know,
how does this actually create you blushing or flushing? How does
this create you having stomach problems? How does this create you
having maybe some kind of abnormal growth that a lot of times we
just call cancer, right? How could this contribute to you having
something autoimmune because those are in the physical body, but
understanding that they actually start further away. So in the
first episode, we start in the energy body, they move to the
mental body, and then they become physical problems.
Amy Ledin 10:23
Okay, so that makes sense. So a lot of these autoimmune issues
you would see kind of coming through this part of emotions.
Isaac Ho 10:32
I think, a lot of times as practitioners we like to, and I'm
sorry to always answer like a politician. But you know, people
come to me and they're like, I have this problem. What would you
do? If you were me to get rid of it because you obviously have
done a lot of trainings? And my answer to that is always is like,
it would be impossible to know unless we look at all three
bodies. Right? And so I don't know why you're having that in the
physical body. But let's just talk about something that I think
it's embarrassing was something I've suffered from is like, hey,
in the rectal area, you ever have irritation, especially on one
of the cheeks, right. And so a lot of times, people will be like,
oh, you have a hemorrhoid? I can't tell you how many people come
to me with hemorrhoid issues. Because it makes exercising
impossible. Yeah, when you have a pelvic floor issue, like, I'm
sure a lot of women listening to this would understand like after
you have a baby, when you jump up and down. How's that go? Not
well, right? So how well do you do at Boot Camps doing burpees
and star jumps and plyo? You don't do well at all. So pelvic
floor issues, they not only affect, like, the actual function of
going to the bathroom, but they affect all the tissues and your
range of motion. Right? If you have that issue, then there's
certain things. So like, I'm standing right now recording this,
because like after being a trainer since I was 17, and then
getting into consulting will like after about eight years of
consulting sitting all day, you know what, that's a lot of stress
on the pelvic floor. If you're walking around, you weren't doing
that. And I can squat weights and all that stuff, and doesn't
affect me, because I don't have an issue there. But then when you
just pressurize something for a long time, and you don't walk
like after eight, nine hours a day. I mean, I did the math with
one of my trainers, most people I mean, we just walked through
the math real quick. If you're sitting on a computer eight hours
a day, five days a week, that's 40 hours, times four, that's 160
hours. So if you do something repetitively doesn't matter, if you
work on a mouse, you sit, you do 160 hours times 12, I don't even
know the math, but you know, we're easily into the thousands of
hours, do you think (inaudible) gonna be healthy? Right? So, you
know, we could have it be a physical problem. But I would say
when I think about autoimmune, like from a mechanism standpoint,
once again, I'm not a doctor, I don't pretend to be. What I'm
really thinking about is like, the idea is the immune system is
automatically attacking itself. Right? Okay. So then that means
there's some dysregulation of the immune system. (Inaudible) Is
that a physical problem? Oh, yeah. At this point it is. Is there
a potential mental problem there? Yeah. And is there a chemical
problem? Well, there has to be because your white blood cells are
wiling out.
Amy Ledin 13:11
Right, right. Oh, that's a good example. Thank you. Great. Well,
start with where you think someone would want it. Like, where do
you want to introduce this in terms of, you know, we've
continuing on from the energy of emotions, and what most people
like you said stress, they don't understand where maybe it's
coming from? And then you know, how to fix that, or, I guess, you
know, take me through the steps of what to do now.
Isaac Ho 13:38
Yeah. So I think the first thing if you listen to the last one
about the field, is things disrupting this energetic field that
essentially, just like it sounds, it's a shield. Okay, so it
keeps you from having to absorb different kinds of stressors,
just like your skin would. Right? And so we all know that if you
put toxic chemicals on your skin, they will absorb inside you. Or
hopefully you know that so it's really important if you use any
cleaning products, you know, you're smelling there's different
ways for things to enter into us. And the idea is that the less
toxins we have, ideally, the better function will have a normal
process. So a lot of times when it comes to healing, one of the
things that you know, my dad has been an MD forever. He always
says like, the thing I learned after 50 years of medicine is the
body is actually so smart, it will heal itself. But it requires
the right environment. And so we have to make sure it's in the
right environment or it's not going to heal itself. So
environment could be you have tissue damage in the process of or
in the stress to those tissues, you keep on having to react and
so like it's really simple if you had a cut on your leg, right?
And it never healed that abrasion kept getting irritated. Well,
it would start to grow weird, wouldn't it? And then that
(inaudible) then could become what is called cancerous, right?
You have thing and it never healed over 10 years and now there's
some abnormal (inaudible) cells. We're going to do a skin biopsy
and see what's going on. Right? It's just tale as old as time,
right? So the actual physical irritation will create it. So where
I would really start people we think about the field and these
protective layers is the solution is not if you're trying to
avoid absorbing some of these issues to avoid all human beings,
right, like, so let's just talk about how these things happen. So
first of all, we get data inputted, so just like you could absorb
it through your skin, or you could absorb it in the air, like
obviously laughing gases or estrogenic chemicals that (inaudible)
rain, like we know there's a million ways you can kill pests,
right, you don't have to spray it on them, they could smell it,
and they die. And we know that. So like, you have to realize you
take your emotions in the same way you have different pathways
where these motions can enter. So it's not just like one psychic
person send something to you, it passes through your field into
your body. You also can hear bad news, if you hear bad news. How
does that process? So let's talk about the process of absorbing
bad news. What has to go through the auditory cortex? Right?
(Inaudible) cortex? Well, how do you know what that news even
means? Well, your brain bounces that signal a lot of different
ways. So it's gotta bounce it to the memory cortex. Because if
you don't have any memory, you have no idea what's going on,
because you don't know what that is. And so babies, they don't
know that, that a dog is good or bad. They would only know by
watching your reaction. That's why my dad would always say, I did
you a disservice, because I always ran away from spiders, and you
learned as a baby that spiders are dangerous. You and I just
talked about (inaudible). And so the only way you know how to
perceive and the context of anything coming into you as an
emotional human being is actually what your brain was taught. So
we have the hippocampus, which is our memory center. And we're
gonna get into some, you know, psychology and brain, but we're
gonna keep it super light, I'm just gonna say the name. And then
you can pretty much think H for hippocampus, whatever it's your
memory cortex. Well, then we have a memory that we can compare it
to. And then it has to run through the thalamus, right? And so
the thalamus is just helping you detect threat, right? So if that
was bad, and I burned my hand on the stove, I have to remember
last time I got burned. So check the hippocampus. Last time I got
burned. Let me run this back and make sure that's not a bad idea
for me. So the thalamic input starts to go in. Okay, that seems
okay. Now, what do I want to do with that information? Well,
guess what, I probably have to adjust it. So now I go, Well,
there's a stove here. So it's got to go into my prefrontal
cortex, prefrontal cortex and how we make plans. So I've got this
data, I now have an image. Now, by the way, if you think about a
lemon, do you only smell a lemon? No, you see the lemon, you see
yellow. And so your visual cortex then creates an image of what
you're dealing with. So it's really important to understand why
people are so sensitive when they have emotional issues, is
because you're running all these brain cortexes and they're
interfacing and the signals can be off because of the high amount
of stress. And you could have an issue in any of these cortexes.
But we're gonna kind of break this down, I think in the most
digestible way that I know how.
Isaac Ho 17:57
So now it's like, I've got all these different brain inputs, and
then I have to do something. So how am I going to be able to move
away from a hot stove or hot pot moving towards me, I'm going to
have to talk to my premotor cortex, right? And that's going to
picture how I should move in time and space. And then I need to
then activate and do something so I don't actually get hit. And
that happens in the motor cortex. So how do we do this so
quickly? Electrical impulses, right? Electrical impulses. And so
we have a really fast computer setup in our brain. And every time
an emotion enters, or word or data gets regulated through all
these cortexes, you are signaling and pinging all that the
fractions of a second, and then you have to decide how to process
and deal with that. So that's the first layer just in the head.
Okay? Now, after a process with the head, your body's motor
cortex, premotor cortex, the lambic input all those have
regulators and you probably have heard of what's called you know,
cranial nerves, okay? So the nerves that give you the ability to
blink, create saliva, swallow, right? These are nerves that go to
the brain. So we have the brain and then we have the interface of
the cranial nerves, and those start pinging different responses.
They're part of what's called a parasympathetic track. So
parasympathetic track means that allows you to do activities that
are more related to rest, digestion, absorption. So let's say you
got some bad news. All sudden, you process that that is bad news.
My husband just got in an accident, whatever. Now all of a
sudden, your whole body goes into a motor response. And it's
unconscious. Right? So now you're like, okay, your body goes, is
this a time to be slow and relaxed? No. So blood comes out of
your organs and goes into your extremities so you can run away.
Right? So now you're having a sympathetic response. So now we've
got blood doing that, well, what's the way your body is able to
communicate? It communicates through hormones, right? And so we
know about cortisol. And cortisol is just a stress hormone. And
so when your brain gets the signal, this is stressful. Now, just
like I said, there's different entryways. So we can come and you
can hear the news, but when you look at light you release
cortisol too, if you didn't, you couldn't wake up when it's
morning, right? So these mechanisms are in place to help you just
do your thing. But when these mechanisms are either not
understood, abused, or dysregulated, which means the signal no
longer works, because of the amount of stress the person has been
under, then they start having symptoms, and now it's a body
issue. Kind of in a nutshell.
Amy Ledin 20:23
Wow, that's a perfect way to explain that, especially down to the
cortisol because we talk about that even with our clients with
their sleep habits. And if they may have this, like 3 am spike,
why it's happening, or you know, why they're waking up, or, but
that's fascinating. I didn't realize you know, seeing that. And
so then it's no wonder that when, you know, the imagery that
you've kept there for so long, when you hear bad news, or you
know, like for me, my, it's like an anchor for the good or bad,
and this anchor is that when I go into the hospital, because I
just recently went back to my former hospital, I went down to
Roswell, and I haven't been there since being back in Canada. And
I was not expecting, when I walked through, it was like, I was
back five years. And I could feel, taste, hear everything like my
body immediately went into overdrive, I was in fight or flight
for sure. You know, like, I had to, like, pause and read my you
know, because obviously, I have all these emotions and prior
experiences there to just tell my brain, you know, this is how
you respond, right? But it was interesting, you know how powerful
that is, right?
Isaac Ho 21:31
It's a, it's, it's crazy, because you can be a child in an
instant, you can be back five years in an instant, because your
brain is the, you know, the limbic cortex, which is our emotional
center, right? It's also one of the huge brain channels we have
to pay attention to. And so like that can instantly turn on sync
to your visual cortex sync your hippocampus, and suddenly just in
the hospital, you're right back to it. It just remembers it. The
brain is so smart. It's funny, because like, I just got a virtual
reality headset, which is wild, if you've never done virtual
reality. It is so incredible, like tech, but at the same time
actually gives you a little bit of a headache after a while, like
(inaudible) because the data is not accurate. It's not 100%
accurate. So even though the tech is trying to do its job, your
brain is like dude, something is weird here. And then what it
actually does is it learns to pick up less data because it goes
(inaudible) one way, but I'm being exposed to this. So like in
motion sickness, the reason people get motion sick is the body
actually thinks it's being poisoned. So it tries to make you
vomit up the poison. And so people are looking at the screen and
the tilting reflexes off, all these mechanisms are off, the body
goes, the only reason we'd be having this is we're being
poisoned. So, vomit. Vomit now. You understand? (inaudible)
Amy Ledin 22:46
Totally survival.
Isaac Ho 22:47
Yeah, it's so smart. It's doing all these things. And so, like my
dad had said, the body will heal itself if it's in the right
environment. We also have, we have to think about all the
different environments that impact the body. And we have to also
understand the channels the body communicates, because it can't
heal, per se, if part of the issue is the internal environment is
corrupted, right? So we have to make sure the internal
environment is not corrupted in some way. And so like one of the
things I do is I do a lot of muscle testing for neurological
signals. And so that just tells me if the neurological signal's
abnormal, and so if the neurological signals abnormal, then I
know the brain can't handle that signal that circuits off. And so
you want to regulate that. So an example of that is, like if you
take a strong muscle it tests strong, and someone closes their
eyes, and then you test them and they test weak. Well, it's not
necessarily an eye problem, could be, like you'd have to check if
it is, but there's actually an unconscious problem. Right? And so
what that means is that person and this kind of gets into coping
mechanisms. We're talking about sequence right now, which I think
we should go back to sequence because it'll help people
understand digestion. But from a coping mechanism standpoint, if
you're under so much stress does your brain think it's a good
idea to deal with that stress now when you're running? No, so it
loads it into unconscious chamber? And so then when people try to
get a massage, and like, you know what, it's weird, I don't have
back pain, but I lay here and close my eyes and now my back
hurts, like yes, because you do have back pain, but it's loaded
into the unconscious. Right? Your body can't deal with it. I
would see that all the time as massage therapists. Yeah, it's
weird. Like you're (inaudible) or you lay down and also you open
your eyes like holy crap, I forgot to do that thing. Right,
because it got loaded into your unconscious. And so what I find
from a practitioner level of treating people that a lot of people
have so much load in the unconscious, that you can do very little
and they'll neurologically just go weak. And that needs to be
those signals just need to be reregulated.
Amy Ledin 24:47
And what kinds of things like when you when someone needs to be
reregulated? What are you give me an example of that?
Isaac Ho 24:53
Yeah, I think last time we talked about witnessing in the energy
field like witnessing, well in the mental body, let's just say
where the circuit body, the brain looks instead of witnessing it
looks for specificity. So what that means is like if I said, hey,
meet me in like Gig Harbor, Washington at around 4pm, that would
be a really hard meet up. Right? Because you're like wear in Gig
Harbor and exactly what time? Also what timezone are we referring
to, mine are yours, right? And so it becomes really tricky. And
so I think, with treatments when it comes to the neurological
system, really, it's a simple treatment, we just have the left
and the right hemisphere of the brain, we integrate it. So there
are two primary kind of resets. I do neurologically from like a
signal standpoint. One is where it's called a deep tendon reflex.
So when you're, they take the little reflex hammer and they hit
that tendon, it actually creates this signal through the spinal
cord, it kind of resets everything, it's like an electrical
impulse. And so it's actually interesting, a lot of different
therapies have found that if you can find the primary dysfunction
problem and the secondary dysfunction, the real ones, not just
any dysfunction, but the ones on that circuit, you can stimulate
them both at the same time, you can hit the reflex, it actually
gets rid of the problem. Because the brain knows it's there, it's
pretty simple. When you do left or right hemisphere, it's a
different way of stimulating the receptors of the brain, you're
just using what's called the Golgi, or mechanical receptor
reflex. And that tap over there actually tells the brain hey, pay
attention here, but it tells the left and the right brain to pay
attention at the same time so the brain then is, oh, now I know
what the problem is. I'll just fix it myself. Okay, so like, the
brain is really
Isaac Ho 26:13
(Inaudible) see your brain's like a sock. Like it literally is
like a computer that we need software, you know, because I joke
that we call them software updates, but it's literally like the
rewiring, you know, like.
Isaac Ho 26:45
Yeah, (inaudible) like I don't have to update anything, all I
really have to do with the human body, if it's in the mental body
or the electrical signal the signals off, because I just have to
get it to realize that it was off and where it was specifically,
right? If the signal, if it's too general, like, hey, I think I
have a thyroid issue. That's not really there's an issue with my
thyroid is not really enough for the body to sort that. But
there's like if there's an issue with a different engine, so
like, that's where we get into engines. Engines are the different
ways your body has mechanisms. So hormones are an engine, glands
are an engine, brain cortexes are an engine, dendrites are an
engine, EMFs are an engine. So there's different engines. And so
essentially, what you do is you find paired engines, and so in
the spinal reflex, which means like when we're hitting the hammer
in that system of therapy, the engines that you end up pairing
are paired pathways. So for example, you have a slow pain
receptor and a fast pain receptor easily. And we know it because
when you hit something and you wait for your toe to hurt, you put
pressure on it right away, and then a second later, there it
comes. Right? That's called paleo. And a paleo is a slow deferred
pain and paleo because it's so old. It's like the first kind of
pain receptor you develop as an organism. But if I poke you with
something sharp, like a barbecue skewer, you pull away really
fast that's on a much faster track because you could impel
yourself. So your body has these pain pathways, mechanical
vibration, temperature, all these pathways are linked on
different circuits. And so engine has different paired engines.
Does that make sense? So, what you're doing is you're finding out
where the signals are bad, and all these different engines, and
they may even carry over. And those are the things that you need
to basically reregulate the signal for which how you do that,
like, in my forms of therapy, is generally I like the left and
the right hemisphere of the brain. It's like, you know, you can
do these integrations, they're called, but um, you know, everyone
has a different way I think of treating things, the ones that
I've learned, I think what I don't look for so much is
techniques, I look for knowledge of engines. That makes sense?
Because an engine, it gives you mechanisms. So if I understand by
going to a specialist that Justice cranial nerves, if you have a
brain problem, not a cranial nerve problem, how are they going to
fix it? That makes sense, right? So the more mechanisms I think
you understand holistically on how the engines work, the more
problems you can troubleshoot for and the more you can interface
with so if someone doesn't know that the energy field exists, how
do we do anything to support that? Or how do we measure that we
have no way to measure it. And I think that's the biggest thing
that when it comes to quote, therapy, that I think is really key
is the understanding of different engines because you could be
trying to treat an emotional back pain for forever. I can share a
story with you if you're interested. But essentially had been in
a really bad car accident, back was never the same, was doing
really well playing ball and probably could have gone into
scholarship. But after the car accident, pretty much ended his
career. And after that, just back was never good, have seen tons
of therapists and different specialists but it still was bad
enough to a point where he owned a construction company and he
couldn't actually do the work. And so he felt terrible like
internally about owning a construction company not being the only
construction. He's also just like young, you know, wasn't old,
mid-30s and couldn't even play with his kid because, like, took
him everything to just stand up and get through the day. And so
he's like, could that be emotional? Yeah. But, you know, when he
came in, I evaluated for a few different things. And I was like,
okay, this is more so scar tissue, right? This is scar tissue,
it's a bunch of different things. So we just treated it, and then
we would find the thing that would retrigger it because it was
fine. Okay, then his back was fine. He can go play with his kid,
go to work, everything's fine. I treated it physically. Okay. And
then I found that his back would go out again, if he's under a
lot of stress. And so then I found the stress triggers, okay, and
then helped him with those stress triggers, and then his back,
didn't go out anymore. Okay. Then he didn't go back out until he
started playing softball again, because he was athletic. So we
want to play again, right? And so then when he twisted and
rotated under different speeds, now it pulled on his tissue
differently than just the normal stuff he had done with that
range of motion. So then we had to treat those pieces of scar
tissue as they pulled in rotational vectors under speed. Does
that make sense? And so like, I have a back problem. It's like,
oh, is that emotional? Probably some emotion. I wouldn't just
start there, though. Is it nutritious? Probably, like, if you're
bloated all the time, you're probably pressurizing yourself from
the inside. Now, is bloating also emotional? Probably. Yeah.
Okay. I mean, the body's irritated if you can't have a bowel
movement, let's just be completely honest, because you're getting
pressurized from the inside it's pushing down on the pelvic
floor, what are pelvic floor nerves, those are relaxation nerves.
So all this is interfacing incorrectly, now you're not digesting
properly, you know, signals in multiple places, they're being
dysregulated. So you're gonna have multiple, different kinds of
issues. And I think that's important for people to understand
when it comes to, like, the emotional and the physical side of
things.
Amy Ledin 31:46
I was gonna say, like, just thinking of just stress and how
general that is to so many people, but they don't realize how far
this is going into their body in terms of like, I mean, I just
think of the correlation with digestion, you know, what I mean?
And like, and then what that's doing, when that's a reoccurring
thing for you. Now, so let's take it upstream. What are some
things that people can do then to, you know, because stress is
going to hit us, you know, like, it's like, I always say to
clients, like you, you can't wait for the perfect time, there's
never going to be the perfect time. But what can we do to help
have less of a negative body response? You know, like, I'm
thinking of myself.
Isaac Ho 32:28
But let me kind of probably give you my best thoughts in terms
of, like sequencing. So the first thing is, once you start
spiraling into a negative process, you want to try to turn that
arc off. So for example, if you get stung by a bee and you're
allergic, what do they try to get as fast as possible? An Epipen.
Why? Because the swelling creates trauma, the trauma creates
closing, does that make sense? So your thought is like, if you
know you're getting triggered by something, it means you want to
remove yourself from the stimulus. Okay? Because you don't want
to end up having physical problems from the swelling. Okay? You
would want to get someone out now, the first I'd be like, okay,
so this is usually what happens if someone's like, okay, I'm
working with you. I was like, I realized I got these triggers.
Okay, cool. We probably identify them ahead of time, but then it
happens in real life, it will always happen in real life, because
you're actually attuned for that as a lesson in life, because you
haven't solved it yet. Simple like.
Amy Ledin 33:31
Is it kind of like, I always say, tension is the test, like, I
can do all the therapy work, but I unfortunately, have to be
exposed to it again, to even see, this is where like, the whole,
like you do learn from your failures, you know, can be positive,
like, at least that's what I've been telling myself, I say. But
I've always been like, you know, I've done like I'd said, over
two months of future self-journaling, where it's basically a
rewiring of how I'm going to respond because I was really, really
overactive. I'd had a couple years where I was super triggered by
anything cancer-related with Erik. Like, it didn't matter what he
said, right or wrong, like it was wrong in my head, and I just
based on, you know, previous yucky stuff, and we were trying to
work, you know, through that kind of stuff. And so I had, you
know, done all this. And then I was listening to a podcast with
Ed where he was talking about his dad having cancer and all the
things he was doing from him, and oh my gosh, my body started
going into this overdrive, overdrive, overdrive, and I was
getting ready to like text bomb Erik some nasty crap, you know,
and I was able to at least stop, but that's only you know, like,
I failed two weeks later on something totally, you know, another
experience, right? Where it was like, okay, I had to go back to
knowing that I couldn't, until I got into that situation, even
see if I could do I guess what you're gonna teach us some of the
sequencing of where to go from there, right?
Isaac Ho 34:51
Yeah, totally. And that's, that's so like, what you're explaining
here, let's just say, if you're like, hey, I'm getting triggered
by this remove yourself from the trigger. Because most people
when they have triggers, and I never, like I come from a
background where, where there's no excuses, right? Like no
excuse, you know, and that's a really typical, I think, Asian
background is like no excuses. It's really hard. And that's an
ancestral thing. So I'm just prefacing this by saying like, you
have to know about yourself on how delicate you are, and how
sensitive you are. Maybe it's the better word for it. Because,
did we talk about gland types? Okay, this would be great for this
conversation. So when we talk about sequence, okay, we have
hormones that help us respond to stress. And we probably know
that, but so you have a little bit like, details are respected by
the brain. So let me give you some details about how this works.
So there are four dominant gland types where you can release
hormones to deal with stress. The one is the anterior pituitary
gland, right? So that's in the head. And so those people are
releasing a lot of stress hormone in the head. So if you're
releasing stress hormone in the head, how sensitive are you going
to be neurologically or mentally? Very sensitive, very sensitive.
So I'm an anterior pituitary type. Well, the reason I'm probably
a therapist is because I'm very, like sensitive to stuff. So I'm
not a glass cannon, but my wife will make fun of me all the time.
And part of it is because she's an adrenal type, right? And so
adrenal types, they create the stress hormone from the adrenal
glands, which are below the kidney. So it's a much lower
locations. So how long does it take for that hormone to travel up
to the head, that's a long way. For some people, it could be
three feet, and if you're nice and tall, you know, maybe a little
longer, right? And so you have this travel of getting the signal
that something is wrong or stressful, and it takes longer to
receive it. Right. So you have that type, you have, of course,
the thyroid, so many people with thyroid dysregulation,
Hashimotos, all this stuff, but it's like that is also a
metabolic marker. And so if you're under extreme stress, and
you're creating a lot of stress hormone, at you're, basically
you're relying, and this is genetic, by the way, you don't pick
which one, you'll have the same one as your mom and your dad
usually, okay, in the thyroid gland, then what happens is that
you've got a lot of pressures under there, and you're releasing
the stress, okay. And then you have the gonadal area, right? And
we all know, like, obviously, women know, probably better, but
you have testes, and you have ovaries, and you're releasing
progesterone and estradiol and all these things. So you're also
releasing hormones down there. And so the travel and the path, so
gonadal people are generally the nicest, most pleasant based on
hormone. Why? Because they're not like getting the stress signals
quick, that makes sense? Kind of like, I got a slow drip of this
stress. It's so far away. Adrenal types, like, they're adrenal,
so they tend to be a little bit more like fast action. There's
behavioral styles and all sorts of stuff that go with each of
these. But, what I was saying is, the sensitivity is different.
So if you're in the anterior pituitary type, you should really
take it easy. Because you're not going to tolerate it well,
right? It's not like, we're not making excuses for the person,
but they're getting sensitized way faster.
Amy Ledin 38:10
So is it be someone that maybe has been like labeled, like you're
so sensitive, they cry easily.
Isaac Ho 38:17
Could be. So there's two things you have, I would think about the
hormone reliance, right? The hormone dominance, we can say. And
then the other thing I would think about too, is the upbringing.
So like, I'm an entrepreneur and a business owner, it's pretty
unstable. You could say, being a business owner, you know
yourself. But like, usually people with my gland type don't
become business owners, because it's too hard on them. Right? So
there's some friction happening there between the gland type, and
the natural picking of this, but did I pick business owner
because I really wanted to be a business owner or did I pick
because my dad always said, it's way better to be a business
owner than a doctor? So I just modeled that unconsciously. So it
will conflict. So the emotional dysregulation that person has or
that easy crime. I had a client of mine that used to cry all the
time, like any he had any conversation with her about something
that wasn't being done, right just immediately, I don't know why
I'm crying, would just cry. Now, she doesn't do that anymore. But
that was very acquired and it was also behavioral based on
certain needs. Because if she cried, people would leave her
alone. Does that make sense? So there's, there's a few different
aspects to why people pick emotions. But yeah, does that answer
your question?
Amy Ledin 39:32
Oh, totally. That was just interesting. I was like, I wonder if
that you know, does that? So they, so obviously then becoming
aware of like you said, like getting to the place of tension is
the test or you got to, you've got to experience it, right? So
talk me through that from that point. What are some things?
Isaac Ho 39:52
Most of the stimulus and you get out of the stimulus, you know,
we have different coping mechanisms, right? And so there's a
difference between treating it. So like when we're, quote,
treating or doing a self-treatment, maybe like some of the things
I've shown you like, we're removing certain things out of the
system, right? So like with the gland dominant, if I know I'm
spiraling, I can reset my hormones really fast, and then they
won't spiral. That is a treatment I can self, do on myself, I'll
do it for clients. But I have had people with allergies literally
swelling up in front of me, and I've turned it off. And they are
like, What the heck? Like? Because they'll start. Well, that's
because it's a signal, right? Hormones are a signal. So if you
can stop the hormone production, they stop piling, right? And so
you want to stop the cascade of whatever is happening with
whatever technique you have. So for a lot of normal people that
don't have treatments like coping mechanisms, okay, so like, now
if your coping mechanism is food, it's usually a bad idea for two
reasons. One, you're emotional and your sympathetic. So you're
just trying to eat to get parasympathetic. But it's also going to
toxic because you can't actually digest it because you don't get
good digestive enzyme process or any enzyme process when you're
under stress. Because enzymes are really expensive to make.
That's something people forget about, like, if you look at what
are the pre, basically the prerequisites for creating enzymes,
you'll see that's a high nutrient list. Most people don't even
have enough nutrients to create enzymes. And I know we're going
to talk in part three about malabsorption, which is a whole
nother thing, and like also hormone signals. But essentially,
what you want to think is like, okay, maybe I shouldn't use
eating as a coping mechanism, right? And so a lot of people are
really into breathwork, right? Example, because they're like, you
can control the ideas, you control the autonomics, and the oxygen
and all these other things. I think breathwork techniques are
fantastic. I think visualization is fantastic. I think. You know,
I have to laugh because everyone learns differently. And so some
people like visualization works great for other people actually,
like I'm a really high theoretical. So for example, when I'm
under a lot of stress, I need to separate from the situation
because I'm starting to stockpile too much hormone, right? And I
need to actually ask myself, like, why am I like, what, am I
really making this mean? Like, what do I feel unsafe? So it's
almost more like a traditional counseling, where I talk to myself
through it. (Inaudible)
Amy Ledin 42:14
I do that. And that's why I'm happy to hear you say that. So I
have on my phone, it's the mind movie app. It's by Joe Dispenza.
But I've created mind movies in different areas of my life.
Because when I'm, you know, especially when I've had bad news
with cancer, and now when I go back, even for scans, like, it's
really hard for my body to separate from what I can I learn to
now create, because I can, like, if I miss it, I get there a
little bit early. And if I sit in the car, and this was my
mistake, this last week was I overestimated my power. And we went
in there with no preparation, I think it's important for people
to see like, a lot of this is daily practices in your life that
you need to continue, right? So for me, you know, anytime I've
gone for scans, I typically have my mind movie that I watched
that is like, you know, I've got pictures of old scans, I mean,
I've really, it's a lot of work, like you make a movie. And I put
because music is definitely I've learned over the years super
powerful for me, like I can take myself really anywhere with
music. So I add music onto it. And then between those two things,
I can create my new reality like where then I'm not even going in
afraid, like and breathwork is my other, you know, so it's
usually like some sort of visualization or movie, or, you know,
breath work, because it's one of those things that immediately at
least has, for me helped me get out of fight or flight, whether
it be because I'm focusing on it, you know, like I'm, you know.
Isaac Ho 43:40
I can give you some ideas on like, why those, why one thing would
be more beneficial for the other. So let's say, your mom always
yelled at you. So you would have a lot of dysregulation to the
auditory part of your brain, like that would be blown out. Does
that make sense? It would be like turning on a light to bright
staring at as a child. So you're just like, dude, my eyes are
just not right. Now, it doesn't mean it's permanently like that.
It just means right now in your current state without addressing
whatever is going on with it, you have too much sensitivity to
that. So like that person probably wouldn't do well with music,
or sounds. Does that makes sense? Because (inaudible) through
that cortex is considered stressful as the signal's off.
Amy Ledin 44:16
Right, so it's just adding more stress to it.
Isaac Ho 44:18
Yeah. So sometimes like when people are like, well, what do you
do for coping mechanisms? My answer to that is based off how your
brain is wired in this moment, and then I would switch them but
ideally, I try to get them not dysfunctional. But I just give you
an example. So like, if you do breath work, that's gonna be a lot
of vagal nerve reflex. If you have an issue with your cranial
nerve system, you could respond poorly to breathwork. Does that
make sense? Hey, and so like, you may not get the expected uptake
out of doing that kind of coping mechanism. If you were having an
issue with like motor premotor cortex, then exercise could make
you way more stressed.
Amy Ledin 44:57
Okay, because I was gonna ask you about movement if you know
(inaudible). Well, just because that's, you know, for like
getting out and taking a walk, you know what I mean? Like some,
for some people, I just wondered if science-wise is really doing
anything to help.
Isaac Ho 45:11
Oh, the walking. Yeah, the walking does a lot because it is
basically pumping the brain. And so what I mean by pumping the
brain is not only is there like a, like a correlation between
your right hip and your left parietal bone, like in the skull,
and then we're doing a video of this. But basically, there's a
swing that happens back and forth. And so when one side comes
forward and one side goes backward, you have to squeeze and
relax. So there's a pumping mechanism that happens just in the
brain, you could say, but there's also a pumping mechanism that
happens to the tissues of the body. So you're kind of clearing
out when you walk. But if you were extremely dysregulated, in the
motor cortex, it could make things worse. Now, usually walking
does make people better. But I have seen cases where let's say
you walking wouldn't make you better, but you have a totally
scarred up low back. And so trying to get motion there, or that
getting jammed, actually hurts you more. And then you start
thinking like, oh my God, I've had this back problem, it's never
gonna be better, I can't even walk and da-da-da-da-da. Now you're
triggering all this at the hippocampus limbic system. And so then
they become more dysregulated. So I usually what I'm doing is I'm
finding the chains of how these follow, and then just fixing the
chains or re re-syncing the chains. That's kind of you
know, when it comes to coping mechanisms? Yeah, there's tons of
coping mechanisms that can help people like we've named quite a
few, I think, but they may not work for you, if you're
dysregulation in that part of your brain cortex is severe. And I
think some people like, like, why is TV so relaxing, like,
obviously, TV is addictive, or people wouldn't binge out and
Netflix wouldn't make the money that it's making. But you have to
realize that when you're watching someone else, do something like
your brains active, but you turned off a lot of your systems. And
so you're actually not firing a lot of dysfunctional systems and
when you have to actually use those systems, if they're
dysregulated, it's really hard on you.
Amy Ledin 47:11
That's interesting. So I got thinking, as you're talking about
that, like, you know, POTS, how POTS, it seems like, it's also I
don't know, if it's, you know, could be just my reticular
activating system seeing so much about it these days, because
it's already on the forefront for me, but you, I, you see a lot
of these rewiring type programs, you know, I say rewiring to help
them is that because a lot of these systems are just not firing
and sequencing together?
Isaac Ho 47:37
Yeah. So I haven't messed around with the technology you're
talking about, I have a friend of mine, who's a doctor in
California who has, and she, her story was basically she was in a
car accident and couldn't walk or talk after it was so severe.
And she used the rewiring software with the brain tracking to
actually regain function.
Amy Ledin 47:56
Yeah, we've looked into it only because I was like, a lot of,
it's a lot of commitment, right, daily, you gotta be doing it.
But, and I think it's like a six-month program, but we were
thinking about it for our, you know, teenager, but like, if I was
doing it with her, so we were more compliant with doing it. But I
was, I was interested what you, you thought of that, but.
Isaac Ho 48:16
I don't know (inaudible) my friend who used it had had really
good results with it. I think from my understanding, what you're
doing is you're training certain brain signals. And you're kind
of base it's like working out, right? Like, imagine if you only
worked out like delta waves or something, but they have like
safeguards in there. Definitely don't change the settings. That's
a whole different story. The researcher figured out what's best
it's in there for a reason.
Amy Ledin 48:44
(Inaudible) like two a day because you think you're gonna get
there faster.
Isaac Ho 48:47
Exactly. Yeah. Don't don't hurt your brain because you will hurt
your brain if you do it incorrectly. (Inaudible) know that
because she heard herself changing the waves and she had a
seizure and she got permanent tremors that haven't gone away. So
you do have to be careful with, you know, some of these
innovations. Me personally, like there's a it's, it's I don't
think it's a risky thing at all. I just say make sure you're
supervised, whenever doing anything, just make sure you're
supervised. That's the key. But I think something like that could
be beneficial for someone for sure. Like, there's so many cool
things out there in terms of the body's just so smart. So you
give it an input, all you're thinking about is if I give it this
input, what is it going to do in response to the input? And so
whether it's like red light, or you know, violet laser, or, you
know, any of the kinds of integrations I'm talking about or
counseling, it's like those are just inputs. And so the reaction
to the input based off the different systems like that's going to
determine the kind of outcomes that you got. For most people. I
think, if you have any trauma, there is powerlessness. That I
think it's you can't you can't control someone if they don't give
up their power. Governments know that right? So the at the end of
the day, if you've been, quote, traumatized, and it was because
of some kind of relationship and you felt powerless, you probably
have a pattern of giving up power, right? So then the first
normal response to that when you realize you've done that is to
try to take your power back. But you do it in the way that,
quote, let's say a terrorist would do you do it actually out of
anger and violence, right. And so that hurts you too, because
you're actually compensating for the original trauma. And so for
a lot of people, what they need to do is they need to take back
their power, but not from a place of anger, and not from a place
of I was hurt, and you hurt me and I need to be strong. There's a
difference between having power and needing to be powerful. And
most people I think, don't realize that. And so if you can regain
your power, but not need it, then you have detachment from it. If
you need it, and you're insistent on it, then you're just
operating inside of an injury, it just looks like a different
paradigm, even though it's the same one.
Amy Ledin 51:00
That's so interesting and you kind of see it even in
personalities, right? When you see people that they come across
as extremely like alpha, whatever, but in reality, they're
actually quite the opposite. Right? But they're, you know, I
guess it's that protection mechanism, you know?
Isaac Ho 51:18
Exactly. It's the fear response that manifests as anger because
they're afraid they won't get what they need. And then if they're
in that same emotional state of not having what they needed, it
re traumatizes them because they're not healed from that trauma.
Amy Ledin 51:30
Wow. So again, it kind of goes back then even to like our other
the part one, where then you've got to clear you've got to go
through the at least those stages of clearing it and replacing it
with something, correct? Like that's where you would go back to?
Isaac Ho 51:45
Totally. We were talking about, there's the there's the energy
side of things that I would definitely pay attention to, there is
understanding yourself. So like, I'm never going to be as durable
stress-wise, as another gland type, let's just say, and the
gonadal type is probably always going to be more goofy, and want
to focus on people more so than my type, which is probably even
more calculating, or let's just say an adrenal type. And so also
understanding your setup genetically, so you're not trying to
create excessive friction on yourself, I see people try to, like
operate from this place of I should be this way, because my
parents were this way, they taught me this, my culture expects
this, but it's totally incompatible with their actual physical
being.
Amy Ledin 52:29
And how can someone can someone find out what type they are? Is
there like tests you can take, you know, how there's like tests
for things? Is there anything that could then steer someone I
mean, I think of like aniograms, right, or things (inaudible)
tell them.
Isaac Ho 52:41
Like an evaluation. To my knowledge, and I do a testing for this,
like a test in my office, but the morphology is pretty telling,
what I mean by morphology is there's different hormones that
create different shapes of bones. And so you can actually look at
the bone structure is a pretty usual general type, when I first
learned that I was like, what, and then after a long time, it's
like, you can pretty much guess it, but I don't like to guess it
because like, I don't look like an anterior pituitary type,
because I've lifted weights for 17 years. And so a lot of times
people will think I'm an adrenal type, because of how thick I am.
Because adrenal types are usually thick. So the testing is
definitely more helpful, because, you know, people will take on
the characteristics of whatever they're exposed to, but I would
say, you know, one of the things we could do, we could link in
the show notes of a handout, the handout that covers some of
these, and I'm happy to (inaudible).
Amy Ledin 53:34
Okay, cool. So that would be awesome. Just even I know, that's
one that I'm sure people like listening to this, I'd be curious
like, what I am and then just not that, like you said, it doesn't
excuse anything, but it does give you more awareness around why
you behave the way you do. And I think other people too, like
I've you know, like one of the best things Erik and I ever did
was kind of share those extreme vulnerable like what are like,
what are our biggest fears? Like, do I have the am I coming with
abandonment issues, am I coming with because then it allows you
to have more awareness have a little more empathy it doesn't mean
you know, you excuse things, but then you're able to see certain
things like I'll know when Erik's you know, maybe being triggered
by something because of my own awareness and it allows me to just
do my part and be like, okay, the last thing you know we used to
we've gone to counseling once where they taught us your fight
dance and your love dance. Your fight dance is like what's you
know, when he does this how do you respond then where does it
end? How to like, you know, reverse it right? And so, we I
learned his fight dance, and I knew like if I do this, he's gonna
do this. And if I continue the pattern, I already know what
escalates from here. And it usually always ended with me walking
out being like, I don't (inaudible) you know, like, whatever.
Right? And being aware of that, also, I think helps us just, you
know, show up as our best self like, even if you are like maybe
might not even be you. I just find that it just makes it easier
having that awareness around it.
Isaac Ho 55:05
Yeah, it does. For me, as a health coach, it's like, it's always
just about taking care of yourself, is what it boils down to.
Because I think the saddest part is we learn all these things
about life, but they don't really teach us how to take care of
ourselves. So then we run around sick and injured and there's
really no education on that. And so, knowing your partner, it's
helped me a lot. Man, I remember the first time I did motivators
and understood my wife, and now I then I was, oh, that's why
she's putting a silly, unusable ladder in our bedroom. You know,
motivators, like maybe we talk about mental motivators in a
different episode, because that's one of my (inaudible) yeah,
that's there's a whole nother I'm gonna make a change that will
change a lot on how someone kind of presents, which I think a lot
of this, I think, you know, this kind of work comes from the
merger of health and therapy that I've done, like coaching
people, but also helping them with their health, and the
outcomes. And so, I find it really fascinating how you can have
one genetic type, to get altered them by an upbringing, get
altered them by like an ancestral stressor, and then get altered,
again, by motivators and values that were taught to you. You
know, it's just fascinating to me.
Amy Ledin 56:22
I'm the same, I'm right there with you. And I think our
upbringing sometimes probably pique our interest in that I know,
for me, mine, it's like, I'm fascinated by the power of, I mean,
just parenting, you know what I mean? And like them, seeing that
and how it can affect you, you know, in future, but well, I'm
excited, we're gonna do a part three. I had written down, we're
gonna be talking about, you know, things that make us fat loss
resistant. Am I in the right ballpark? Was that part of it?
Isaac Ho 56:50
Yep, we'll talk about nutrient absorption and how the body
actually can malabsorb and how that gets stored as basically fat.
I think that's really important for people to know. And it ties
in perfectly, because of these top two things we discussed the
energy field, or the emotions or the processing, or the
dysregulation of stress in the brain is present, then yeah, fat
loss is going to be a really, really difficult thing. And then
we'll talk more about the different gland types and how that
impacts fat loss too. I think that's always interesting.
Amy Ledin 57:18
Oh, that'll be fun. Well, you heard that. Listen, stress, you're
going to learn on this next one probably going to be pretty
depressed when we see like, what it does to the body and, you
know, hopefully motivate people to be more serious, honestly
about it. Because I think it's like the number one thing I see
in, I witness from clients is that they're so stressed. And I get
it right now in the world, like, even just going to the grocery
store, just with the cost of you know, living right now. Like
there's stressors, hitting everyone everywhere. So we need to be
armed to know how to handle it to be aware of it, you know, and
so we can actually have fat loss because we see that we're in
there. Now, at age two, we're taught, I'm sure you'll bring up
that as well, you know that it starts to get harder and harder.
So thank you so much for coming today. I'm excited for next time.
We will have show notes with things linked here, you guys and
we'll see you next time.
Isaac Ho 58:11
Awesome. Thanks, Amy.
Amy Ledin 58:16
Okay, I'm on a mission. As you know, if you've been following
along, I have a goal to be a top 100 podcasts and it's less about
that top 100. And more about I want to make an impact. I want
more people to hear effort, and learn from all of the mistakes
that I've made, along with me bringing on really special guests
for you. So my ask you is this, I want you to screenshot this
episode today and share it on your social media, share it with a
friend, you know, tag me in it. Go give me a review. Of course if
you're really feeling it and rate me you know, this is the only
way things are gonna get seen here and in a big world of tons and
tons of podcasts. I'm hoping that you're going to choose mine and
help me on my mission.
