8 Minutes to Ageless

EPISODE SUMMARY: Are you listening? Dr. Pearson talks about how every interaction can be more meaningful if you are listening to learn versus listening to change someone. She speaks of an amazing MD who gets remarkable results with the art of listening. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson talks about the art of listening and gives a couple of examples. Once in the door all focus was on the client. The only question that was asked was what would you like me to know about you? He focused on what he called the movie of the client's life that was before him. After an extremely long pause, he would confirm that the person was finished then follow up with questions. Gaining the trust of the client creates a safe feeling that allows the client to tell you things that they might not have. Truly listening to someone can open your realm of possibilities and opportunities. Never underestimate the power of listening. Think about listening to learn, listen to understand; allow people to fully talk and let them finish. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.

EPISODE SUMMARY: In this wild and wacky PodCast, Dr. Pearson tells you how to mitigate your own body discomfort by mobilizing various fluids in the body. Have no idea what she is talking about? Take a listen.  ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson is going to talk to us about mitigating discomfort by mobilizing various fluids in our bodies. There will be three different kinds of discomfort that she will get into. We all know sweating is good for you and there are many different ways to sweat. Sweat helps release toxins from our bodies, but it’s important that you replace it with healthy electrolytes.  Dr. Pearson recommends Lyte Balance. Now to really get into what Dr. Pearson wanted to talk about. Taking supplements on an empty stomach. Dr. Pearson stood at the top of her stairs and walked down the stairs on her hands, leaving her in an almost downward dog position and then did several deep heavy breaths. This is not recommended if you have weak arms or can get dizzy easily. This can also be done on your bed.  Have your knees on your bed and slowly reach down to your floor; you may need assistance. Another discomfort is minstrel cramps. You can try the same movements as Dr. Pearson previously mentioned or you can even do a handstand against a wall. Lastly, there is heartburn.  Chug a large glass of water (10 oz) then jump up and down about 20 times. If you have back problems and it hurts to jump you can just press up on your toes and come back down, just be careful to not come back down too hard on your heels.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how to stand your ground physically in order to be present and to hear the truth. So much time is wasted in life not hearing the truth or telling the truth, so let your body be in good form to make this easier.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson talks about how our culture of denial is so pervasive that it blinds us to knowing when to reach out for help. She shares a very interesting case study that typified how denial leads to disability.  ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Book reference: At Peace by Samuel Harrington MD. This podcast is not about death, but Dr. Pearson has always embraced the fact that she will die and believes all of us should do the same. Denial is a lie and the more you lie to yourself the more you will believe it. Marketing is a great tool of denial as it makes you believe something that might not be true. Remember it’s important to find out what the cause of the pain is so going back to the beginning is what is going to help you the most not what it is currently. What is it that you are denying?  What is it that you are pretending to not be a problem when it is? Do not be afraid to ask around if you don’t know what to do.

EPISODE SUMMARY: Dr. Pearson celebrates some learning she had from a recent flare of pain. She teaches how to stay aware, take action and don’t pretend there is nothing wrong. Putting the pieces together as to why something happened is easier than you think. ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS… Dr. Pearson talks about how grateful she is for her husband. Then she tells us how she hurt her ankle while walking her dogs. Doc should have seen someone for help, but she didn’t and later re-hurt herself. Dr. Pearson realized that she needed to get these injuries looked at and fixed before things ended up even worse. Once you identify where your limitation is it is easy to fix it. It’s important to stretch into the pain but to be aware if it’s extreme pain and why that might be. Is it possible your joint is not lined up correctly? Should you seek professional help to get realigned? It’s important to have a team of people that you can go to that can help you. The longer you wait the harder it will be to recover. Recognize that everything feeds into everything else so if you hurt yourself in one spot it can totally affect you in another area of your body. CALLS-TO-ACTION: Get a copy of the book on Amazon.
