0:20rough all right so

0:23so I'm kind of um the best tools that

0:25have helped me with anxiety

0:27um this is one of those videos that it's

0:29just keeps coming up I keep feeling like

0:31I really need to make it

0:33um but it just takes me so long to

0:34prepare these videos and to execute them

0:37um so it's I'm gonna just try to wing it

0:39but at least I want to put this

0:41information out there because it is

0:44their they are the tools that kind of

0:46were you know got me my life back and I

0:49had to go extremely deep with um you

0:52know figure out what the hell actually

0:53helped me

0:55um and that's the hardest part with

0:56anxiety and a lot of this mental health

0:58stuff is just like what now that I'm I

1:01have a pretty good understanding of how

1:03to at least improve a lot of these

1:05situations

1:06um and all the different tools it takes

1:08and it's like compared to what I

1:10understand now to what the industry what

1:12the mainstream industry is it's like God

1:14it's like these they're not even close

1:16where it's I mean everyone most people

1:18have watched this channel probably agree

1:20with me but it's like we have we have

1:22Band-Aids is what we have you know

1:24mainstream medical system if you're

1:25going through Insurance where you know

1:27you go to the doctor have anxiety it's

1:29like what are they going to say like

1:30here's uh anxiety medication here's

1:33antidepressant you know some talk

1:35therapy

1:36it's like hey like those tools they have

1:38a time and a place those you know the

1:41medication stuff to me is that's an

1:43emergency intervention if you're really

1:46struggling there's a time and a place

1:48for those meds and you take that stuff

1:50you don't [ __ ] feel bad about it

1:52um but they're over prescribed there's

1:53misdiagnosis it's a mess there's no need

1:55there's no need to rant on that but long

1:58story short we need better tools in the

2:00stuff the stuff that helped me was not

2:02mainstream and it took a long time a lot

2:05of a lot of years suffering to find the

2:07stuff that actually helped me and it was

2:09just God it was just so many years of

2:11just researching and trial and error

2:13um and it was crazy

2:14um unfortunately you know

2:17I have 80d ADHD I'm sure people can tell

2:20and that comes with a host of you know

2:23mental

2:25um mental struggles that can with you

2:27know hyper fixating

2:29um we're prone to addiction and anxiety

2:31and depression for me it was always

2:32luckily I had way more my tendency was

2:36anxiety for a very long time I talked to

2:39my dad and he was the same way like he

2:41dealt with panic attacks and

2:43um like I'm not talking general anxiety

2:44I'm talking to the point like I would

2:46have panic attacks and I wouldn't be

2:48able to sleep

2:49um you know it could I mean really kind

2:51of in what really messed me up was the

2:54time that it got so bad in the panic

2:56attacks prevented me from sleeping

2:58completely like that was that was the

3:00downward spiral and

3:02really I created this channel

3:04um because I was able to recover that

3:06was that is the reason I created this

3:07because I was able to dig out of a hell

3:09hole um and I went through something you

3:11know an experience that really broke me

3:13as a person

3:15um and so I was like if I ever if I'm

3:18ever able to dig back out of this hole

3:19I'm like I gotta reach back I have to

3:21share the stuff that that worked for me

3:24um to you know for the people that like

3:27are maybe in my similar situation or

3:29still stuck and don't know what the hell

3:30to do

3:31um and struggling to find help like this

3:33video that video is for you hopefully

3:35reach the right person because like I

3:37say I've gone I had to go way outside

3:39the conventional system to find the

3:41tools that actually made a difference

3:42for me and I was they were telling me my

3:44issues [ __ ] they tell them it's bipolar

3:47you have bipolar because bipolar runs in

3:49my family

3:50um

3:50and the thing that was the biggest issue

3:53for me was my anxiety got to the point

3:55it was so bad that it was in it was

3:57going into panic attacks and was

3:58preventing me from sleeping and so it's

4:01not like I'm not manic I'm not on top of

4:03the world like yeah this is awesome like

4:05I can't sleep because I'm just I'm uh

4:07I'm gonna clean everything or I'm gonna

4:09go on a shopping spree like I've never

4:10luckily I've never I've never dealt with

4:12that and unfortunately my mom was

4:14bipolar so like I've seen I've seen what

4:16menial looks like

4:18and thankfully I don't I don't I don't

4:21deal with that I mean I have my own

4:22special version of 80d so I'm all over

4:25the place but thankfully it's not

4:27bipolar but like I say misdiagonals five

4:30different doctors that's all I say it's

4:31bipolar it's going to keep happening if

4:33you don't medicate and I'm like I'm like

4:35I'm like I don't think it's bipolar it's

4:37like like yeah I know I'm a little crazy

4:39but I'm not sleeping because my freaking

4:42anxiety is so bad I can't sleep my

4:44adrenaline is pumping through the roof

4:46like I have my backgrounds exercise

4:47physiology so I understand what's going

4:49on and I studied this because anytime I

4:51have an issue I deep dive and I study in

4:53a hyper fixate

4:55um which is an 80d superpower

4:57um but it's also a death blow when you

5:00can't solve a problem and I couldn't

5:01solve my anxiety at one at that time

5:04that

5:05um drove into insomnia just this

5:07snowball mess so try not to talk in

5:10circles here but again purpose of this

5:12video is to hand off some tools that

5:15help me so I think the easiest way to

5:18kind of present this stuff is just give

5:20you very fast timelines so you know

5:23majority my life growing up whether it's

5:25it was either general anxiety or is

5:27social anxiety you know going through

5:30that came about middle school high

5:32school a lot of social anxiety I felt

5:34kind of really lost with myself

5:36um

5:37and then but it never held me back

5:39luckily I just I was able to just kind

5:41of hide no one knew that I had crippling

5:43anxiety but I fell in with I mean

5:45drinking was to me Draco Works drinking

5:48works on the Gaba system and Gaba

5:49relaxes you so that was that was my

5:52self-medication for a very long time

5:55um College time those mid-20s growing up

5:58I mean luckily I started to come out of

5:59the social anxiety stuff I just

6:01eventually just got to the point I just

6:02stopped giving a [ __ ] what most people

6:04think you know if you like me you like

6:05me if you don't you don't like that's

6:08just kind of luckily that realization

6:09came about and I grew out of the social

6:11anxiety thing

6:12um

6:13but what happened was mid-20s you know

6:17getting a normal job you know my degree

6:20is exercise physiology but I when I put

6:22myself through college and extra degree

6:25in exercise physiology doesn't do a

6:27whole lot besides personal training I

6:28was looking at strength conditioning

6:29either way like I

6:31I needed money

6:33um so I was under a lot of financial

6:35stress you know late 20s you know still

6:38drinking and it was starting to take a

6:40toll on me either way it was like this I

6:42was building this big snowball of

6:45um you know chronic stress that all of a

6:48sudden it just it blew up at like I

6:51think I was 29 or 30. when it went from

6:54chronic stress into just one night boom

6:57panic attack and I'm like God I'm like

6:59I'm not gonna sleep and it didn't sleep

7:01and I didn't sleep the next night and so

7:03I was up all night having panic attacks

7:05and not sleeping and that's a recipe to

7:07break somebody really quick it did break

7:09me

7:10um it was like once that happened you

7:12know it was just like I was just

7:13consumed by these like thoughts oh my

7:15God I'm like

7:16yeah if this keeps happening like how am

7:18I supposed to survive like how am I

7:19going to go through this and I was so

7:21against medicine at that point that I

7:23refused to take any anxiety medication I

7:25wouldn't even take like I mean I don't

7:27feel like I took like an

7:28over-the-counter sleep Med but at that

7:30point I mean when my anxiety goes when

7:32you go to panic attack level the amount

7:34of adrenaline that I mean my body was

7:36pumping was just like you come you would

7:38it would need to hit me with like a

7:40tranquilizer dart

7:41um and at that time like I say I

7:44researched so as soon as this happened I

7:45start researching and I'm like I'm like

7:47sleeping pills of the devil anxiety

7:49medication I'm like this stuff ruins

7:51lives I'm like I won't touch this stuff

7:53and you know my background exercise

7:54physiology and I was very natural health

7:56minded I was like I can solve this I've

7:58solved every health issue before

8:01um and I was dead wrong this thing

8:03rocked me

8:04um I became depressed I couldn't you

8:06know I destroyed my circadian rhythm and

8:08I it was a two-month spiral into hell so

8:11I'm gonna Fast Track out of that so

8:13coming out of that

8:15which I did have to medicate you know at

8:17that point like it got so bad it was

8:18like I was like whatever I'm like

8:20literally just whatever what tell me

8:23what to take

8:24um and there was at at that time like I

8:25was wrecked like I needed I mean at that

8:28time I did I needed help

8:30um because everything that I and I like

8:32I say I thought I could solve everything

8:33I thought it was a clever [ __ ]

8:35and I was dead [ __ ] wrong

8:37um so take the medicine when you need

8:39the medicine take the medicine because

8:41it almost cost me in my life I'm not

8:42gonna dive into that I've shared the the

8:44downward smile before so coming out of

8:47that though so the things

8:49so very try very slowly trying to piece

8:51it back together now the things that

8:52helped me survive you know Lily was

8:55surviving because when I came out of it

8:57um you know I came out

8:58and you know I had at least some

9:00medicine to help

9:02um I was still a mess because now I had

9:03depression and stuff on top but so the

9:05tools that at least made a difference

9:07initially it's gonna sound nothing

9:09special but meditation

9:12um and I actually have a video that I've

9:14I've shared on my channel that dives

9:17like I said I I'd like to say I've never

9:19come across anybody sharing this kind of

9:21meditation technique it's really weird I

9:23don't know like I term it a focused

9:24meditation but either way this is one of

9:26this thing freaking helped me through

9:28horrible times when nothing else was

9:30helping I had this one tool to fall back

9:32on I just term to focus meditation

9:35um I'll link it in the video the show

9:37notes or whatever but either way it was

9:39meditation made a massive difference it

9:42could if I was having a panic attack I

9:44could get myself out of the full-blown

9:46panic and at least at least lower it

9:48down same with depression I could at

9:50least find some kind of relief and if

9:53you're stuck in hell if you're stuck

9:54with that hellish process of just you

9:56know being suffering every day anything

9:58they can get you some kind of relief is

10:00huge so meditation can't Overlook it uh

10:04also want it you gotta throw in um cold

10:06thermogenesis like cold therapy

10:08um and there's been times over the last

10:10couple years like winter time can be you

10:13know not a good time for me I don't

10:14always feel my best with um you know

10:16lack of vitamin D I'm in the Northeast

10:17but what I find so finally I'm getting

10:21to stuff that actually works it takes me

10:23forever to get here

10:24um so cold therapy I mean jumping into

10:28really [ __ ] cold water if you feel

10:31depressed if you feel anxious it will

10:33shock the hell out of your system and

10:35you know it works really good for

10:38depression for anxiety I can't say I've

10:40tried it ever for panic attacks but I

10:42think it's well worth a try I know it's

10:45it's great for general anxiety for

10:46General

10:48um stress and stuff I mean cold therapy

10:50is just amazing you know it really it

10:52can help reset the central nervous

10:54system I mean there's countless benefits

10:55I can't I can't rattle them off what I

10:57can tell you is it it works if you want

10:59stuff that works try that 100 Works

11:03um so you got meditation cold therapy

11:05and obviously you look into Wim Hof like

11:07I mean the science is all there the

11:08stuff is very effective

11:11now the tricky part with anxiety is okay

11:14so you have compounds that will help

11:17mitigate the anxiety and you have

11:19there's you know it's it's really hard

11:21so here's the hard part is finding the

11:23stuff that actually will heal it and

11:25help to get you out of those anxiety

11:26paths and reprogram the mind this is the

11:28part that we suck at with um you know

11:31conventional Medical Care System even

11:33naturopathic medicine

11:35um it's naturopathic is obviously a big

11:37step in the right direction functional

11:38but still the stuff that really can help

11:41to like unwire the brain from this is is

11:44is really kind of progressive and out

11:46there still

11:48um but so the basics the stuff that in

11:50my opinion is is well worth considering

11:52first for general anxiety

11:55um you have l-theanine just a basic

11:56amino acid that's that's fantastic you

11:59can try that one

12:00um obviously CBD THC that stuff is huge

12:03now

12:04um Gaba supplementation is some debate

12:07on that one but Gaba can definitely help

12:08Gaba is what your your

12:11is a neurotransmitter you actually

12:12produce that is kind of the inhibitory

12:14relaxation

12:16um alcohol works on that what else I

12:19mean anxiety medication works on Gaba

12:21and that's a lot of things with anxiety

12:22is Gaba is predominantly what you're

12:25kind of targeting

12:27um if you're glutamate levels are too

12:29high this is just kind of the narrow

12:31science the basic stuff I understand

12:32glutamate level is too high that will

12:34drive neurotoxicity and over excitation

12:36uh so magnolia bark

12:40another one good to look into I think

12:42there's a supplements called

12:43dhhb that's a derivative of magnolia

12:46bark uh so definitely worth trying

12:50so a couple of the more powerful

12:52compounds that I have to say put big ass

12:54big warning levels with

12:57um phenibut synthetic drug I would

12:59classify that thing as as borderline

13:01benzodiazepine you need to be Wicked I

13:05mean I can't I don't even I don't mean

13:07if I want it in this video because if

13:09any bought my in my opinion is playing

13:11with absolute fire

13:14um

13:14if you use it one one to two times a

13:18week but it's highly addictive you can

13:20with you can have horrible withdrawals

13:21off this stuff but I do know some people

13:22that say Hey it helps them a lot they

13:24use it they vary they're very careful

13:26with it but you need to understand you

13:28use something like final blood you need

13:29to know what the hell you're doing in my

13:31opinion and feta Buck caused me to

13:33relapse from anxiety medication I got

13:34all things out of medication which was

13:36hell I tried thinking I tried using

13:38phenibility thinking it could help me as

13:39just like something to transition off

13:41and phenibut caused me to relapse worse

13:43I had my own set of withdrawal symptoms

13:46from phenibus so just be careful with

13:47that

13:48um

13:49and then so with anxiety and depression

13:51so when I was coming bouncing back from

13:53the the Meltdown that like shattered it

13:57shattered my feet I mean it's funny now

13:59but

14:00um it's not funny it shattered my life

14:02really

14:03um because it's just like I had never

14:05experienced anything to the level that

14:08what I went through with that like say

14:10that was in my 30s and it was like it

14:11was a two months spiral into hell and it

14:13literally flipped my world upside down

14:15coming out of it I was depressed I was

14:17like what did I was like I was

14:18questioning everything I'm like what did

14:19I do wrong in life I'm like why did I

14:21why did this happen to me I was like I

14:23had a really I had a good life like I

14:25wasn't you know I was doing I mean I

14:27wasn't doing I wasn't doing the smartest

14:29things with my health with the drinking

14:31I was like I created this mess 100 my

14:33fault where it's like there's you know I

14:35know I know who's to blame on this

14:38um

14:38but I had a good I had a good life you

14:41know it's like I wasn't there was I

14:43didn't have horrible trauma that I was

14:45at least well no no no severe trauma

14:48um you know I had like I said I was

14:51content in my life or at least I was on

14:54the path I wanted I don't want to get

14:56spiraled because my life I was missing

14:59this piece of the puzzle where I really

15:00wanted to coach and consult stuff but I

15:02wasn't there and that's just another

15:03Rabbit Hole

15:05um so the anxiety of depression what

15:07helped me big time coming out of that

15:09because I still had to work I couldn't

15:11take time off there's no there was no

15:12hey I can just lay on the couch and just

15:14feel like [ __ ] like I had a family I

15:16got my kid my wife my wife stays at home

15:18with the kids and I was like I gotta go

15:19to work I'm like this thing shattered me

15:21and I was like I go to work depressed as

15:23[ __ ] and just try to get through the

15:25days and that's just drag myself so in

15:27that time again this is another one like

15:29fanabutt that's you need to be so

15:32careful with him sorry I'm swearing so

15:34much but so that one is Kratom and

15:37someone someone gonna roast me on Kratom

15:40because I every time I bring this up

15:41there's someone who's who's like you

15:44shouldn't even be talking about this

15:45stuff but so Kratom is it is a natural

15:48herb it's an actual plant it actually

15:50comes from the coffee plant but it hits

15:52on opiate receptors

15:54um and obviously opiate receptors

15:56painkiller uh it also boosts dopamine so

16:00you get you get a mood Boost from it you

16:02get a you get an energy boost

16:04um and it has some some pain relieving

16:07properties but you abuse it highly

16:10addictive you will withdraw like you've

16:11been taking you know I mean not hardcore

16:14opiates but pain relief it's like an

16:17obscene you go on Reddit you look up

16:19creative withdrawal I mean they have

16:21detox clinics that'll take you in for

16:23Kratom drawings it's that bad but here's

16:26how I used it and I still use it on

16:28occasion

16:30um one to two times a week Max I dose it

16:33one time I don't up dose during the day

16:35for me it's like 2.4 grams like whatever

16:38I don't want to go to the dose on the

16:39stuff but to me this is this is a tool

16:42that will help get you get you to the

16:44next point or at least get you through

16:46the day get you some relief on occasion

16:48if you don't want to go the route of

16:50antidepressants and hey I'm not if you

16:52want to run antidepressants if you're

16:54hurting that bad do what you want to do

16:56I'm just I'm so stubborn I I believe to

16:59my core that I can recover so I didn't

17:01want to take something daily this is my

17:02thing I'm like hey I understood I

17:05understood enough about

17:06um

17:07human human biology that if you take

17:09something every single day your body

17:11starts to get accustomed to it you start

17:12to down regulate it can create issues so

17:15I'm like okay I'm like let me let me

17:17struggle I chose to struggle and rely on

17:20certain things that times mind really

17:21needed to help because I'm like I think

17:23I can recover but if I use these

17:25medications if I start to rely on

17:27something I'm like it's then I'm gonna

17:29have to figure out that I'm gonna have

17:31to kind of come off of it and then go

17:33through that healing process where it's

17:34like if I can just struggle along I'm

17:36like I believe that I could recover and

17:38get back to a place like I felt good

17:39like I knew like I had periods in my

17:41life I felt really freaking good I

17:43didn't have anxiety like I didn't I

17:44haven't always had anxiety

17:46um there's periods in my life that have

17:47been really great and unfortunately with

17:49again this has come 80d it's like you

17:51can have you can have good periods you

17:53can have periods you feel awesome and

17:54you can have periods where you feel

17:56[ __ ] hellish and it's like those are

17:58the times like you need to be able to

17:59handle you need to have a lot of tools

18:01and that's what I found with my 80d is

18:03still like I need to have a lot of tools

18:05that I can rely on to deal with the [ __ ]

18:08that my body throws at me um

18:10and I'm finding things I'm stabilizing

18:11the better I get my health the higher I

18:13get like my Baseline is so much better

18:15it's so much more even

18:17um and I don't I don't take there's I

18:18take zero medications right now I take

18:20nothing daily

18:22um you know basic supplements and it's

18:24just all the stuff I use is supporting

18:27um you know just trying to get my

18:28Baseline higher Okay so

18:30create them like I say careful as hell

18:32but it did it did get me some Anxiety

18:35Relief it's actually really good

18:37I mean they use people will use Phenom

18:39but for social situations also Kratom

18:42but again if you're not if you don't if

18:44you don't deal with the root issues if

18:45you don't deal with you know whatever it

18:48is that drives your social anxiety where

18:49for me it was just I was way too way too

18:51concerned what people thought about me

18:52and just going deep into that and coming

18:55to my own conclusions where it's like

18:57real I just don't care what people think

18:59about me as much anymore I mean I feel

19:01like that's a part of like maturing it's

19:02like end of days does it really matter

19:05what people think about you you know or

19:07for me it's like hey just be myself put

19:10myself out there whoever Vibes with me

19:12likes me cool like that's great if you

19:14don't that's you're not my person that's

19:16whatever like I'm not gonna waste my

19:17time try to make everybody like me um

19:19that was a realization that that helps

19:21me

19:22um okay

19:23those are kind of in my opinion Basics I

19:26mean there's passion flower chamomile

19:28those are really mild and okay so now on

19:31to Heavy Hitters so things that can

19:33actually actually get lasting healing

19:37and healing anxiety is complex where

19:40it's like you have to look at the

19:43biochemical side of things where it's

19:45like for me like hey I had a I had a

19:47genetic predisposition or hereditary

19:49issue with just a brain that can become

19:52way too hyper and anxious and stressed

19:56so it's like that is like I have a

19:58genetic predisposition uh it doesn't

20:00mean that that's going to manifest

20:01itself but for me it did so

20:03you have to address the chemical side of

20:06things and so with the chemical side of

20:09anxiety it's a Gaba system that works

20:12properly

20:14um now healing the Gaba system honestly

20:16like Cava has some indications for that

20:19um so it's worth worth looking at kava

20:22but like I say these are this gets

20:24really complex really fast so I don't

20:26want to try to like say I got the magic

20:28formula but I can say hey this is what

20:30you these are the pieces to the puzzle

20:32where it's you know you have to address

20:34the chemical side of things with you

20:37know the difference some of the

20:39supplements I mentioned I'm going to

20:40talk about some more that can really

20:41help

20:42um spiritual

20:44is whatever your belief system is if you

20:46have a shitty belief system if you think

20:48the world is bad or you know your tariff

20:50if you're terrified of stuff that's at

20:53your core and that's where anxiety I

20:55mean anxiety comes from core fears if

20:58you haven't faced those core fears if

21:00you haven't like dealt with that [ __ ]

21:03that's buried it's gonna keep coming up

21:05you can't hide from the crap that's

21:06inside

21:07um so you have to you have to look into

21:10those things you have to look

21:12um beyond the closed door whatever it is

21:14and try that you're scared of most you

21:17have to bring that [ __ ] up and you have

21:19to work on it you have to look at you

21:21have to evaluate it

21:23um and so Byron Katie she's a good one

21:27uh her thing is uh what's her book

21:29loving what is and now it's great for

21:31depression and it's what it is it's it's

21:33actually a very simple system that you

21:35can apply to just about anything

21:38um

21:38and it's like I don't want to dive into

21:40that but just take a look at it and when

21:42it comes to spiritual side like what I

21:44found is it's it's all trial and there

21:46everything to me everything in life to

21:47me is is rapid trial and error listen to

21:50the best experts you know consider it

21:53does it fit for you if it doesn't move

21:54on find find what works for you but if

21:57it's your philosophy if your spiritual

21:59beliefs isn't working if I could look

22:01for some look for something else find

22:03the fit find that find what makes you

22:05feel better that's that's huge okay so

22:08spiritual not my forte but I got some

22:11ideas

22:12um so mental side of things so your

22:15internal

22:17what you control with self-talk

22:20um is obviously huge so talk therapy

22:24um I'm not I'm really not a big guy in

22:26affirmations because for me it's like

22:28it's It's gotta feel real I don't know

22:30I'm I'm OC diesel affirmations for me or

22:33not are not good but so talk therapy um

22:36cognitive behavioral therapy all that

22:37stuff to just go to a to look at again

22:40what's going on in your head so you know

22:42spiritual mental

22:43um to me those kind of crossover

22:46but yeah really just dealing with the

22:49stuff that you can control the kind of

22:51the mental training that you can work on

22:53to just evaluate to me really putting

22:56stuff on paper is huge to me like hey if

22:59you have this kind of deep-seated fears

23:01and stuff like put that [ __ ] on paper

23:02and look at it and really ask yourself

23:05like hey is this is this 100 True or do

23:07I know this for a fact it's going to

23:09happen like really start to challenge

23:10some of those things that are driving

23:12fear uh like I say when you have chronic

23:15anxiety it's usually this you have this

23:18spiral of these different things whether

23:19it's it could be a whole culmination of

23:21hey your core belief system isn't good

23:23what you know what your self-talk is

23:26isn't good the thoughts the beliefs all

23:28that crap those two pieces are bad that

23:30alone will drive anxiety and will [ __ ]

23:32you past the chemical so you have to you

23:35have to look at that if you really want

23:36to get to the rule of stuff and fix it

23:38you have to look at those two pieces you

23:40can't just say here's a supplement

23:41here's the Band-Aid alcohol you know

23:44phenibut anxiety if you if you ignore

23:47what's going on inside the internal it's

23:50never going to go away it's gonna get

23:52worse you're just hiding from it you

23:54have to face that [ __ ] and that was that

23:56was huge in order for me to get over the

23:58PTSD because I didn't sleep for two

24:00months so my I had massive PTSD about

24:03not sleeping because to me not sleeping

24:05meant I was going to start having panic

24:07attacks and I was gonna get depressed

24:08and I was going to go to a very dark

24:11place

24:12and unfortunately I saw it happen so to

24:15me this was true so it was very

24:16triggering you know trying to recover

24:18where it's like if I wasn't sleeping it

24:19would just be like oh my God is it gonna

24:21happen again is it going to happen again

24:22is the downward spiral gonna happen

24:24again and the only way through that the

24:26only way to get over that to get over

24:28that fear was to [ __ ] go through it

24:30hundreds of nights to go sleepless

24:33nights into just time and time again see

24:35okay it's not break didn't break me this

24:37time I didn't slip into a depression I

24:39didn't you know I was able to rebound

24:41and it's like over and over it and face

24:44that fear over and over again and just

24:46eventually eventually that little voice

24:49said be like yo what dude it's good this

24:51is gonna be the time that [ __ ] you up

24:52it's like eventually like that that like

24:54fear that fear voice

24:57um it just wasn't it just didn't elicit

24:59the reaction when it's like not like

25:00I've gone through this like been through

25:02this [ __ ] so many [ __ ] times I'm like

25:03hey done this I've recovered I've

25:05bounced back so it's like it's you no

25:07longer fear and that's honestly that's

25:09how you get over fear you can't avoid it

25:11you can't just mask it with pills and

25:13everything else

25:14um and I tried I tried that route okay

25:17so I feel like that's all the stuff that

25:19no one wants to hear and cares about

25:22um but is huge Okay so

25:24The Heavy Hitters chemically because

25:27here's the thing you could be dialed in

25:29spiritually you could be mental mental

25:31self-talk is great but if you're if

25:33you're chemically a mess I'm sorry it's

25:36just not enough and it's like even now

25:38even now when my anxiety does kick bad

25:40and mentally I'm like I'm a like a

25:44trained soldier I know how to handle

25:45this [ __ ] but still I could still start

25:47to wear me down just that feeling of

25:49just being anxious and it just like it's

25:52like God just just wears you down and

25:54it's like those thoughts is here's the

25:55[ __ ] of it you can't control your

25:57thoughts whereas thoughts just pop up in

26:00your head and it's like that's a whole

26:01nother rabbit hole but if you're anxious

26:03your thoughts start to get anxious and

26:05it's hard not to attach to those things

26:08um in learning to to create separation

26:11be between yourself and your thoughts

26:14and not attaching to them another rabbit

26:16hole but yeah that's that's the tricky

26:19part with if you're the chemical side of

26:21things are screwed you could be like I

26:24say you could be a monk but it's like I

26:25don't care you take you take a Jedi Monk

26:27and you make him we can we can induce

26:30horrible anxiety and that dude is going

26:31to be anxious he is going to start

26:33acting anxious um

26:36I don't care who you are okay so finally

26:39so things that can work to actually heal

26:42and start to repair the you know this

26:44system and that kind of cycle you get

26:46stuck into

26:47um the biggest one that can really

26:51create kind of massive and this is we'll

26:53start talking about neurogenesis and

26:55neuroplasticity and changing just

26:57changing the way the brain fires and I

26:59mean the cool part is if you look into

27:00oh God there's like um blanking out

27:04there's a guy that studies add the amen

27:06centers I think it is but either way

27:07they do brain scans they can look at

27:09your brain and say hey this brand this

27:11part of your brain is is really active

27:13and this one is dark and when you study

27:16different parts of the brain it

27:17correlates with okay this is you know

27:19this is high for a fear or anxiety or or

27:22whatever I'm not an expert in that but

27:25either way your brain can get stuck in

27:27these neural patterns of just firing a

27:29certain way and over year after year

27:31after year now this isn't me making this

27:33up this is what I've heard from other

27:34top level experts is this like just well

27:37well grooved path that you just keep

27:38your brain just keeps going in that Loop

27:41um and I've been stuck in that Loop and

27:43it sucks

27:44um

27:45so if you want to break that Loop one of

27:48I mean one of the things is you start

27:50looking into different psychedelics

27:52um because psychedelics induce massive

27:54neurogenesis they will significantly

27:58kind of light up certain parts of the

28:00brain that your brain has never has

28:01never experienced before so what it can

28:04do is if you're so used if your reality

28:06is you're so used to this anxious and

28:09depression crap it's like all of a

28:10sudden with psychedelics it's going to

28:12you're going to experience something

28:13that you've never experienced before all

28:15of a sudden you're going to see a

28:18reality

28:19I mean you can't see reality it was like

28:21a dog uh you're gonna experience

28:23something that you've never experienced

28:24it's going to kind of awaken a different

28:26um part of your brain and so that's and

28:28like I say this is just a very poor

28:30explanation of this but that experience

28:33can kind of give you a new outlook on

28:35life and really kind of change go to

28:36your fundament go to the kind of the the

28:39spiritual like foundational

28:41um root of things and obviously that's

28:43what psyched dogs can do it is don't

28:45expect this but sometimes you can get to

28:47the root of what's you know core beliefs

28:50if you can change a core belief system

28:51really change it and discover something

28:53new like you'll feel that [ __ ] like if

28:56you really find something that's like

28:58hey like this wasn't the right way of

29:00thinking where it's like hey this is

29:01this is what feels true to me now like

29:04that can make a massive difference

29:06um and I've sold I've done ketamine

29:09infusions before so I did ketamine to

29:11come off of Klonopin which is anxiety

29:13medication

29:14um and I've shared on that another

29:16another Rabbit Hole

29:18um Journey

29:19but coming off of anxiety medication

29:21rebound anxiety was horrible no chance

29:24of sleeping and it was like I seven

29:26month taper grinding doing everything

29:28right trying so hard and it wasn't

29:30mental anxiety like this was I'm coming

29:32off it and my I can't calm down

29:34physically mentally I'm like I knew it

29:36was going on I'm like this is withdrawal

29:38I'm like this is this sucks and my

29:39body's like tweaking out

29:42um and so what ketamine did for me was

29:45ketamine shut off that fight or flight

29:46so when I did the you know my first

29:48ketamine infusion you know for me the

29:50triggers were at night was like okay

29:52what if I don't sleep it was like this

29:54stupid annoying trigger just that

29:55thought sometimes would trigger um PTSD

29:58anxiety and what I found is after doing

30:01the ketamine for myself

30:03that physiological response of the you

30:06know the you know your heart beating

30:07faster like really rapid heartbeat and

30:10like sweating and just like feeling

30:12anxious which is fight or flight it it

30:14just didn't happen it was like the

30:16thoughts would come up and it would just

30:17be like nothing and I'd be like that's

30:19weird and eventually enough times it's

30:21like my brain it was like my brain was

30:22like testing it's like are you gonna be

30:24afraid are you gonna be afraid and it

30:25just didn't happen and I was like all

30:27right I was like and I eventually just

30:28was able to relax now that's like a best

30:30case scenario I wouldn't don't ever

30:32don't ever expect that to happen but

30:35irregardless ketamine you can do it in a

30:38clinical environment there's places all

30:40around the United States that do this

30:43um you gotta look for contraindications

30:44you know if you have a history there's a

30:46couple different mental illnesses you

30:47got to watch out for this stuff but

30:49and ketamine was from a therapeutic not

30:53not just from a chemical standpoint but

30:55from a spiritual chem like uh

30:57therapeutic like I feel like I did like

30:59years worth of therapy

31:01um during my ketamine infusions because

31:03I mean for me it I like to solve my own

31:07problems it needs to my the answer to my

31:09problems need to come from me so

31:10ketamine helped to really unfortunately

31:13kind of mean always for me brought up

31:15some of these deep-seated fears and [ __ ]

31:17that was like in the back of my head

31:18just garbage that

31:20um I needed to look at and ketamine

31:22allowed me it was just a very unique

31:24experience allow me to view it from a

31:26unique perspective and I came to some

31:29conclusions I mean uh like I say don't

31:31go into expecting that like I didn't I

31:33went in it just open-minded like just

31:35trying to just try to understand what

31:39the hell is going on and that I did go

31:41into it curious of like hey what is

31:42drive my anxiety like what's at the root

31:44of this stuff so I was in that mindset

31:46of like okay like I'm doing this with a

31:48purpose like I want to understand I I

31:50want to go deep and face those [ __ ]

31:52like I went into like I'm gonna face the

31:53[ __ ] demons like I don't know what's

31:55causing these issues but I'm gonna take

31:57a look at it

31:58um but I will say there was a couple

32:00there was a couple trips that were

32:02really bad trips

32:04um and that's why I think you just gotta

32:05be careful psyched dogs because like a

32:07couple a couple trips like I don't know

32:09like I thought like

32:11it just went really deep into some stuff

32:14that was a deep-seated fear and in

32:17during that trip like I almost like kind

32:19of like thought like hey it was true and

32:20I came out of it and I was like you know

32:22what I'm like that was total [ __ ]

32:24um whereas like I said I don't wanna

32:26those were personal experiences but like

32:29I say

32:30get a trip soon if you're gonna do

32:31psychedelics know what the hell you're

32:33getting into

32:34work with somebody get a trip sitter

32:37um and ketamine is just one psychedelic

32:39there's a lot of different psyched dogs

32:40obviously so cyber and mushrooms I mean

32:43MDMA and a lot of the stuff is being

32:45researched it's being looked at now for

32:47PTSD and anxiety so it's like this is

32:48not just hey let's throw [ __ ] against

32:50the wall like there's legitimate science

32:52behind this

32:54um okay enough of psychedelics I'm not

32:57an expert on psyched dogs but I did I

32:59did some trips it was worth it worth

33:01considering if you're just you know

33:03you're at your you're just tired of

33:04dealing with this [ __ ] and I really if

33:06you're willing to look deep

33:08um in my opinion you will be rewarded

33:09even if like I said some of some of the

33:12biggest rewards from my ketamine

33:13infusions were were facing these

33:15deep-seated fears

33:16and like I said some of the [ __ ] like

33:18didn't even make it didn't even make

33:19sense so don't buy all the [ __ ] you

33:21had during the trip

33:22um

33:23but some of the benefit was just going

33:25through it facing that fear and just

33:28seeing that it didn't again it didn't

33:29break me like I got through it

33:31um and it didn't like it didn't scar me

33:33because I'm like oh God like someone's

33:35really just gonna leave a nasty scar

33:37um but it didn't and I was able to work

33:39through some of that really hard stuff

33:40okay enough psychedelics Academy next up

33:44um so NAD plus which is a crucial

33:47coenzyme for energy production

33:49NAD plus has been around for 50 60 years

33:52they've used it for to Rapid detox

33:54people off of alcohol off of drugs and

33:57it's it's unlike any molecule you ever

33:59come across so NAD plus our body

34:01produces is a crucial coenzyme that's

34:04for detox processes but so we can help

34:06to repair

34:08um you know neurotransmitters and help

34:09to rebalance the system it's been

34:11studied for addiction it's one of my

34:13favorite compounds it's another one that

34:15was massively beneficial coming off

34:17anxiety medicine those damn alarms get

34:20me every time okay so NAD plus

34:23um so yeah coming off of Klonopin

34:25anxiety medication chronic fatigue was

34:27insane I felt terrible

34:30NAD Plus

34:31I would go in I would feel wrecked I

34:33would go in for an infusion I would

34:35leave feeling 50 to 60 percent better

34:38if not a few times like back to my

34:40Baseline and I've had to I've tapered

34:41off a clapping I've gone off four times

34:44because I'm in just I'm Not The

34:46Brightest Bulb sometimes

34:48um but yeah so NAD plus helped

34:51significantly and it can actually help

34:53to reset and repair the brain which is

34:56huge

34:57rebalancing the narrow the

34:59neurotransmitters and stuff it's like

35:00because obviously you come off anxiety

35:03medication or drugs alcohol any of that

35:06stuff in your brain is really out of

35:08balance since like finding something

35:10that can actually rebalance that's

35:12actually healing is huge I mean that's a

35:14massive that's a super beneficial tool

35:16that you can lean on and it's like NAD

35:18plus is perfectly safe like I said this

35:21is a bioidentical compound our body

35:23produces naturally so it's not like it's

35:25not even a drug that you have to um

35:27you have to really be concerned about

35:29the side effects downside cost

35:32um the infusions can be uncomfortable

35:33you have to go slow they can take

35:35infusion can be two to three hours

35:37um I don't want to go I've had I got

35:39videos on like all this stuff so NAD

35:40plus uh fantastic in my opinion so next

35:45up I think okay so I think this is gonna

35:47be the last the last one I'm gonna

35:49actually finally wrap this damn video up

35:51um

35:52so the other one that has been I mean

35:55really life-changing recently and it's

35:57like I've I've leaned on different tools

35:59through my recovery process for like

36:01five six years now and it's like each

36:03period I've been able to find something

36:05that got me to the next level and

36:06unfortunately I had slip up so it's like

36:08I should have been should be way ahead

36:11of where I'm at now but my addiction

36:12issues a whole nother Rabbit Hole

36:15um and okay so cerebral lysine

36:19so cerebralizing is

36:21um it is a neurotrophic com compound

36:24that is extremely unique it's been

36:27around it was founded in 1950

36:29something's been in Russia

36:32um has approved drug for a long time but

36:33not just Russia so it's approved in 60

36:35countries and it's used for Alzheimer's

36:38for dementia for add it's actually been

36:40studied for I mean there's studies on it

36:42for autism which is really impressive

36:43stroke it's one of the most powerful

36:46brain healing compounds I've ever come

36:49across and so again when you look into

36:50brain healing and brain repair you want

36:52to look into BNF neurogenesis

36:55neuroplasticity all these things that

36:57that help to repair and get the brain

37:00it's not like you're getting smarter but

37:02you can get yourself back to your a

37:03baseline that you're normally at kind of

37:05fix clean up all the mess the

37:07inflammation that we just I mean you

37:10accumulate and you deal with just from

37:12normal living from a normal person who's

37:14neurotypical who doesn't have any of the

37:16[ __ ] issues that some of us do

37:17they've experience you experience some

37:21kind of cognitive decline and cerebral

37:22license is just it is amazing

37:25um so what I noticed with that and this

37:27one so a lot of stuff is off the radar

37:29because some of it's injectable or it's

37:31the price uh so cerebralizing it you do

37:34have to inject it there's no oral

37:36there's no oral formula or oral version

37:39of this that is affected if you see

37:40someone selling an oral form it's it's

37:43not the real [ __ ] it's some modified

37:45version

37:46um and trust me I would love to say hey

37:48there's an oral version of this um but

37:50there's not what I found is you can you

37:52can do an injection or you can do IV

37:54infusions this stuff has been studied up

37:56to very high doses up to 60 milliliters

37:59which is a very high volume dose

38:02um so it is you do have to inject it

38:05which will throw a lot of people off I

38:06know but hey if you're struggling and

38:09you're tired of this [ __ ] and you want

38:11to try some stuff that actually heal

38:13that you can you can lean on

38:16to at least get relief but also know

38:20that you're not going backwards you're

38:22not using something that's creating

38:23issues or creating long-term potential

38:25issues like cerebral lessons or

38:27repairing compound like extremely

38:28powerful so it's like you're gonna get

38:30you can get anxiety relief and stress

38:32relief like I've never experienced from

38:34any other non-drug any other non-like

38:37synthetic drug like an anti um from like

38:39a benzodiazepine which benzodiazepines

38:42in my opinion are by far the most

38:43powerful anxiety Med ever

38:46um that I've ever come across

38:48and trust me like they tried before I

38:50took an anxiety before I took a benzo

38:52Aspen they were trying me on endless

38:54stuff they went through the Litany of of

38:56sleep medications you know at that time

38:57I even I even took the bipolar Med

39:00because they pretty much told me I I

39:01didn't have a choice

39:03um

39:04and it didn't help my anxiety was just

39:06like it didn't help me sleep like for my

39:08for my issues it was anxiety so

39:11um into me cerebral license Rivals the

39:14relief you can get from benzodiazepine

39:17not the same level

39:19um where it's like I have been close to

39:20panic attack level

39:22um and cerebral lesson did did pull me

39:25out of it and I there's nothing there's

39:27nothing else I've ever tried that will

39:29pull me out of borderline Panic um you

39:33know once I'm full-blown panic I mean a

39:34cerebral license it can get relief it

39:37has got me through before and there's

39:39nothing that that's done that

39:42um I think Academy infusion probably

39:43could I just don't know I don't know

39:46what it can be infusion would be like

39:47when you're in a panic attack State it's

39:48not a good good place to be but and I've

39:51created if you're in my community I'm

39:53sure you've heard me you know rant on

39:55about cerebralice and it's amazing

39:57um I have videos if you want to go

39:58through my YouTube channel on all this

39:59stuff but in the show notes I'll link at

40:03least link to kind of the at least the

40:04video I have or some kind of resource so

40:06you can look into this stuff

40:09um and uh like I say hopefully the

40:11purpose of this is to give people some

40:13ideas where it's like yeah a lot of

40:14these are kind of off the radar you know

40:17pretty Progressive

40:19um options but if you're like me and

40:22you're just you know you're tired of

40:24dealing with the [ __ ] and you're willing

40:25to try some stuff that's outside the box

40:27um that's still safe you know always

40:29research always you know quote unquote

40:31consult with your physician or whatever

40:33um but yeah those are the things that

40:36like you're not you're not hearing this

40:38from a doctor you're not going to hear

40:39it from your naturopath like sorry like

40:41maybe maybe a really Progressive like

40:44functional medicine doctor would know

40:45about some of this stuff but cerebral

40:47license used by I'm maybe two or three

40:50doctors in the United States

40:52um and it's like completely off the

40:53radar and like I have tons if you're in

40:56my Guinea if you're in community I have

40:57a ton of feedback like this stuff is

40:59working extremely well for people it's a

41:01freaking Game Changer and it's like not

41:03enough people talk about this stuff so

41:04that's why I do these rant videos uh so

41:07I am going to finally wrap this thing up

41:09so I'll do I don't want to plug anything

41:12for this but I do have a I do have a

41:14private membership

41:15where I have detailed guides deep dive

41:18guides on NAD Plus on especially

41:21cerebral license that's a huge one

41:24um but it's like if you're into peptides

41:25if into like the more about the Deep

41:27dive biohacking stuff is that I've I've

41:29created that membership so I can at

41:31least afford to make these videos

41:33um and like I say Obviously it just

41:35takes time and money to make this stuff

41:37um I wish I could just I mean I would do

41:39it for free I would do it for free but

41:41either way if you wanna if you really

41:43like my content and you want to learn

41:45how to use cerebralizing or you want to

41:47learn everything I've learned about NAD

41:49plus I have private membership at slowly

41:51I still have it it's discounted to fifty

41:53dollars to join it's 15 a month

41:55canceling time I don't want to plug this

41:57I don't want to plug it it's useful

41:59information I'm I'm just gonna wrap this

42:02thing up but um yeah hopefully this

42:05reaches some people that need this
