00:00:07.460 --> 00:00:10.519
Welcome to the 90 days with nurse Dan podcast,
00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:13.839
a 90 day journey for the whole person, body,
00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:17.000
mind and spirit. I'm a critical care registered
00:00:17.000 --> 00:00:19.160
nurse with a background in youth ministry and
00:00:19.160 --> 00:00:21.480
window cleaning. That last one has nothing to
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.339
do with the theme of this podcast, but I did
00:00:23.339 --> 00:00:25.399
it for 13 years. So if you know anyone who needs
00:00:25.399 --> 00:00:28.170
their windows clean, please don't call me. because
00:00:28.170 --> 00:00:31.350
I don't do that anymore. Instead, I'm inviting
00:00:31.350 --> 00:00:33.950
you on a 90 -day journey of physical, mental,
00:00:34.130 --> 00:00:36.189
and spiritual health through the Christian practices
00:00:36.189 --> 00:00:39.750
of prayer, spiritual reading, meditation, and
00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:42.210
gratitude. I'm also going to encourage you to
00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:44.929
exercise at least three times per week. In the
00:00:44.929 --> 00:00:47.689
end, our goal is three hours of spiritual devotion
00:00:47.689 --> 00:00:50.270
and three hours of physical exercise per week.
00:00:50.630 --> 00:00:52.329
And because I believe faith was not meant to
00:00:52.329 --> 00:00:55.159
be done alone, I invite you to find and engage
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.359
in a local church community. So please follow
00:00:58.359 --> 00:01:01.719
this podcast on Spotify or Apple podcasts and
00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.959
join me on a 90 day journey for the whole person,
00:01:05.379 --> 00:01:16.939
body, mind and spirit. Today we are on exercise
00:01:16.939 --> 00:01:20.560
31 of 36 on our 90 day journey, which is also
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.599
7 of 12 in our final 30 day challenge. That means
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:27.000
we are only five exercises away from completing
00:01:27.000 --> 00:01:30.239
our 90 day body, mind and spirit journey. We
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.400
will also have a bonus exercise for those of
00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:34.980
you who need to make up an exercise like me.
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.439
As you may have noticed, I missed a week of posting
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:40.379
podcast episodes. So I'm going to be posting
00:01:40.379 --> 00:01:43.420
six episodes this final week to get them in before
00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:45.920
the 90 day deadline and before I get charged
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.340
for another month on my podcast hosting site.
00:01:48.879 --> 00:01:52.000
Remember this 90 day challenge format is flexible.
00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:54.879
The goal of the 90 day challenge at my gym is
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:57.900
to exercise at least 12 times every every month
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:01.019
but it doesn't say how to get that done. I just
00:02:01.019 --> 00:02:02.780
choose to divide that into three times per week
00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.340
to create a sustainable routine that's compatible
00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:08.979
with James Clear's Atomic Habits Habit Formation
00:02:08.979 --> 00:02:11.879
recommendations and Dr. Peter Attia's recommendations
00:02:11.879 --> 00:02:15.919
or I might say prescription of at least three
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.360
hours of exercise per week. I got a fever and
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.680
the only prescription is more exercise or by
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.789
exercise I mean cowbell. and by cowbell i'm talking
00:02:26.789 --> 00:02:28.669
about the wolf feral saturday night live blue
00:02:28.669 --> 00:02:30.889
oyster colt cowbell skit which if you haven't
00:02:30.889 --> 00:02:33.789
seen it yet go look it up it's awesome you won't
00:02:33.789 --> 00:02:37.229
regret it so all that said i'm going to be pulling
00:02:37.229 --> 00:02:40.289
two a days starting on monday but feel free to
00:02:40.289 --> 00:02:42.909
take it at your own pace at the end of today's
00:02:42.909 --> 00:02:46.569
episode i'm going to talk about how taking turmeric
00:02:46.569 --> 00:02:50.810
with 95 curcumin based on a recommendation by
00:02:50.810 --> 00:02:54.210
famous research cardiologist dr peter maccola
00:02:54.460 --> 00:02:58.099
helped reverse the heart palpitations that I
00:02:58.099 --> 00:03:00.379
developed after getting COVID and taking the
00:03:00.379 --> 00:03:02.960
COVID vaccine. We will also continue reading
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:06.039
the Gospel of John and Fox's Book of Martyrs
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.860
written in 1563 by English historian John Fox.
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:13.900
What does the Fox say? And as always, the bulk
00:03:13.900 --> 00:03:16.379
of our time today will be spent doing the actual
00:03:16.379 --> 00:03:19.620
practices of prayer, spiritual reading, and gratitude.
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.400
So let's get started. We're going to do five
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.729
minutes of prayer. 10 minutes of Bible reading,
00:03:25.009 --> 00:03:27.090
10 minutes of spiritual reading, and five minutes
00:03:27.090 --> 00:03:29.750
of gratitude. As always, we'll be praying the
00:03:29.750 --> 00:03:32.210
Lord's Prayer, the Serenity Prayer, and the Apostle's
00:03:32.210 --> 00:03:34.150
Creed, and I've placed links to each of these
00:03:34.150 --> 00:03:37.330
prayers in the show notes. And today is gonna
00:03:37.330 --> 00:03:39.930
be posted on Saturday, so it's Sinner Saturday,
00:03:40.250 --> 00:03:42.250
so when we get to that part of the Lord's Prayer
00:03:42.250 --> 00:03:44.669
where we're either debtors, sinners, or trespassers,
00:03:44.689 --> 00:03:46.229
we're gonna be sinners today, and we're gonna
00:03:46.229 --> 00:03:50.710
say sins. So let's pray. Our Father, who art
00:03:50.710 --> 00:04:15.400
in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Okay, let's
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:22.019
go ahead and pray the Serenity Prayer now. to
00:04:22.019 --> 00:04:24.959
accept the things I cannot change, the courage
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:27.680
to change the things I can, and the wisdom to
00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:30.519
know the difference, living one day at a time,
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:33.879
enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.800
as a pathway to peace, taking as Jesus did this
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.939
sinful world as it is, not as I would have it,
00:04:41.079 --> 00:04:42.959
trusting that you will make all things right
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.699
if I surrender to your will, so that I may be
00:04:45.699 --> 00:04:48.480
reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.420
with you forever in the next. Amen. All right,
00:04:52.420 --> 00:04:54.600
and last but not least, let's pray the Apostles
00:04:54.600 --> 00:05:20.829
Creed together. and siteth on the right hand
00:05:20.829 --> 00:05:23.430
of God the Father Almighty. From thence he shall
00:05:23.430 --> 00:05:26.110
come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe
00:05:26.110 --> 00:05:28.529
in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church,
00:05:28.829 --> 00:05:31.470
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,
00:05:31.949 --> 00:05:34.750
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
00:05:35.449 --> 00:05:38.870
Amen. All right, well now that we've finished
00:05:38.870 --> 00:05:40.990
our time of spoken prayer, we're going to go
00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:45.329
ahead and do two minutes of focused meditative
00:05:45.329 --> 00:05:48.509
breathing. So go ahead and take a deep breath
00:05:48.509 --> 00:06:11.959
in, and exhale inhale exhale inhale exhale inhale
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:44.810

00:07:43.779 --> 00:07:53.420
Big inhale. And exhale. Alright, good job. Well
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:56.269
that concludes our time of prayer, so now we're
00:07:56.269 --> 00:07:58.829
going to head into our 10 minutes of Bible reading.
00:07:58.850 --> 00:08:01.529
We're going to pick up where we left off last
00:08:01.529 --> 00:08:06.129
episode in the Gospel of John chapter 4 verse
00:08:06.129 --> 00:08:27.220
43. for they also went unto the feast. So Jesus
00:08:27.220 --> 00:08:30.399
came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.600
the water wine, and there was a certain nobleman
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:36.879
whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:39.639
that Jesus was come out of Judea into Galilee,
00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.740
he went unto him, and besought him that he would
00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:45.580
come down and heal his son, for he was at the
00:08:45.580 --> 00:08:49.559
point of death. Then Jesus said unto him, Except
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:53.000
ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.940
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere
00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:01.620
my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way,
00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:04.740
thy son liveth. And the man believed the word
00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:07.200
that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:10.259
way. And as he was now going down, his servants
00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.620
met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
00:09:14.259 --> 00:09:17.240
Then inquired he of them the hour when he began
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:20.899
to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday,
00:09:21.019 --> 00:09:24.019
at the seventh hour, the fever left him, so the
00:09:24.019 --> 00:09:26.940
Father knew that it was at the same hour in which
00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:30.519
Jesus said unto him, Thy Son liveth, and himself
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:34.539
believeth. And his whole house, this is again
00:09:34.539 --> 00:09:37.159
the second miracle that Jesus did when he was
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:41.320
come out of Judea into Galilee. Chapter 5 At
00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.639
Another Festival After this, there was a feast
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.179
of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
00:09:47.529 --> 00:09:50.070
Now, there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market
00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:54.049
a pool, which is called the Hebrew tongue Bethesda,
00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:57.830
having five porches. In these lay a great multitude
00:09:57.830 --> 00:10:02.029
of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting
00:10:02.029 --> 00:10:04.809
for the moving of the water. For an angel went
00:10:04.809 --> 00:10:08.529
down at a certain season into the pool and troubled
00:10:08.529 --> 00:10:13.350
the water. Whosoever then, first after... The
00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:15.929
troubling of the water step in was made whole
00:10:15.929 --> 00:10:19.610
of whatsoever disease he had. And God's gonna
00:10:19.610 --> 00:10:24.409
trouble the water. All right, I know you were
00:10:24.409 --> 00:10:26.730
waiting for me to sing that, so there you go.
00:10:26.970 --> 00:10:31.110
Couldn't rob you of it. Verse five. And a certain
00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:34.250
man was there, which had an infirmity thirty
00:10:34.250 --> 00:10:38.000
and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and
00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:40.279
knew that he had been now a long time in that
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.220
case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
00:10:43.720 --> 00:10:46.759
The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:48.940
man when the water is troubled to put me into
00:10:48.940 --> 00:10:51.620
the pool, but when I am coming another stepeth
00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:55.860
down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take
00:10:55.860 --> 00:10:58.659
up thy bed and walk. And immediately the man
00:10:58.659 --> 00:11:01.820
was made whole, and took up his bed and walked.
00:11:02.440 --> 00:11:05.879
And on the same day was the Sabbath. The Jews
00:11:05.879 --> 00:11:08.899
therefore said unto him, that was cured it is
00:11:08.899 --> 00:11:11.240
the sabbath day it is not lawful for thee to
00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.399
carry thy bed he answered them he that made me
00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:16.919
whole the same said unto me take up thy bed and
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:20.120
walk then asked they him what man is that which
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.139
said unto thee take up thy bed and walk and he
00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:26.539
that was healed whisked not who it was for jesus
00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:30.419
had conveyed himself away a multitude being in
00:11:30.419 --> 00:11:33.679
that place afterward jesus findeth him in the
00:11:33.679 --> 00:11:36.720
temple and said unto him behold Thou art made
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:41.100
whole, sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
00:11:41.100 --> 00:11:44.399
thee. The man departed and told the Jews that
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.940
it was Jesus which had made him whole. And therefore
00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:51.279
did the Jews persecute Jesus and sought to slay
00:11:51.279 --> 00:11:53.940
him because he had done these things on the Sabbath
00:11:53.940 --> 00:11:58.259
day. But Jesus answered them, My father worketh
00:11:58.259 --> 00:12:01.980
hitherto and I work. Therefore the Jews sought
00:12:01.980 --> 00:12:04.590
the more to kill him. Because he not only had
00:12:04.590 --> 00:12:08.110
broken the Sabbath but said also that the that
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:11.370
God was his father making himself equal with
00:12:11.370 --> 00:12:15.029
God and Before we read on I'm gonna comment on
00:12:15.029 --> 00:12:17.970
a couple things that stood out to me first of
00:12:17.970 --> 00:12:21.950
all, I think it's very interesting and telling
00:12:21.950 --> 00:12:26.909
that Jesus priorities are not our priorities.
00:12:27.090 --> 00:12:30.509
They are the father's priorities and I say this
00:12:30.509 --> 00:12:33.970
because Jesus heals this man who's been crippled
00:12:33.970 --> 00:12:36.509
for who knows how long, hasn't been able to walk,
00:12:36.870 --> 00:12:39.549
and he just says, take up your bed and walk.
00:12:39.909 --> 00:12:41.730
And the man is immediately healed. He's able
00:12:41.730 --> 00:12:44.409
to stand up and take his bed and walk. But then
00:12:44.409 --> 00:12:47.350
Jesus just disappears, like goes away, doesn't
00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:49.690
say, hey, by the way, that was me. And then,
00:12:49.690 --> 00:12:52.350
you know, kind of drop the mic and throw his
00:12:52.350 --> 00:12:54.870
arms up in the air. He just sneaks away in the
00:12:54.870 --> 00:12:57.409
crowd. And the man has no idea where Jesus went,
00:12:57.549 --> 00:12:59.370
so much so that when the Pharisees come in and
00:12:59.370 --> 00:13:01.330
they question him why he's carrying his mat on
00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:03.590
the Sabbath, so he's working on the Sabbath,
00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:06.830
which is a faux pas, it's a no -no, according
00:13:06.830 --> 00:13:10.450
to the law. And he's like, well, but the man
00:13:10.450 --> 00:13:12.710
who healed me, he told me to take up my bed and
00:13:12.710 --> 00:13:14.830
walk. And they're like, well, who was it? And
00:13:14.830 --> 00:13:17.830
he didn't even know, he had no idea. Jesus didn't
00:13:17.830 --> 00:13:22.110
make himself known. And so then Jesus finds him
00:13:22.110 --> 00:13:23.909
after the Pharisees are gone and he's walked
00:13:23.909 --> 00:13:27.210
away from the Pharisees. And he says to him,
00:13:27.690 --> 00:13:30.409
behold, thou art made whole, sin no more, lest
00:13:30.409 --> 00:13:33.929
a worse thing come unto thee. And so Jesus is
00:13:33.929 --> 00:13:38.769
here saying that sin is worse than being a cripple,
00:13:39.009 --> 00:13:42.250
that being a slave to sin is worse than being
00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:49.120
a slave to disease or to infirmity. It is so
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.940
important that we prioritize the spiritual things
00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:54.899
over the physical things And that's the first
00:13:54.899 --> 00:13:57.399
thing that steps that stands out to me. The other
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.080
thing that stands out to me is when Jesus says
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:03.740
My father worketh hitherto. There's another translation
00:14:03.740 --> 00:14:07.200
that reads my father is always working and I
00:14:07.200 --> 00:14:11.080
am at work and what I love about that is because
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:15.440
yesterday I went to church and it was the Me
00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:18.960
and my son went to church and it was the Palm
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:21.480
Sunday service and they actually brought a donkey
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:25.100
in and the quote that they used for this was
00:14:25.100 --> 00:14:27.600
they kept calling the donkey the beast of burden
00:14:27.600 --> 00:14:31.059
and the example that was used was that we have
00:14:31.059 --> 00:14:34.440
tractors and we have Garbage trucks and we have
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:37.279
you know, we have vehicles of work. These are
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.720
these are vehicles that are designed to do work
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:41.620
Well, they didn't have tractors. They didn't
00:14:41.620 --> 00:14:43.980
have dump trucks. They didn't have bulldozers
00:14:43.980 --> 00:14:49.519
They had donkeys they had oxen and a donkey was
00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:52.580
a beast of burden He was at work and when Jesus
00:14:52.580 --> 00:14:57.250
came in Palm Sunday and they laid the palms at
00:14:57.250 --> 00:14:59.870
his feet and said hosanna hosanna in the highest
00:14:59.870 --> 00:15:02.330
and they were proclaiming him the king of the
00:15:02.330 --> 00:15:07.509
Jews That he was riding in not on not on a white
00:15:07.509 --> 00:15:11.590
horse But on a beast of burden. He came riding
00:15:11.590 --> 00:15:15.269
in on a donkey Jesus was a working man. Like
00:15:15.269 --> 00:15:20.549
I love that about him. He's not he's not Oh snooty.
00:15:20.970 --> 00:15:23.409
He's not pretentious. He doesn't think he's better
00:15:23.409 --> 00:15:25.529
than anybody and he showed that just by the way
00:15:25.529 --> 00:15:27.730
that he healed that man just walked off He didn't
00:15:27.730 --> 00:15:30.830
need the attention at the same time. He makes
00:15:30.830 --> 00:15:34.009
himself known to us because we need him It's
00:15:34.009 --> 00:15:37.129
not about him. It's about his love for us So
00:15:37.129 --> 00:15:40.590
he draws us to him in so much that it's a it's
00:15:40.590 --> 00:15:43.730
a mutual blessing But obviously we get the better
00:15:43.730 --> 00:15:47.659
end of the deal because he gets he gets to have
00:15:47.659 --> 00:15:51.860
relationship with us sinners and and we get to
00:15:51.860 --> 00:15:55.600
be saved and so that's that's pretty cool so
00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:57.220
now we'll go ahead and we'll pick it up here
00:15:57.220 --> 00:16:00.059
and Jesus is about to uh to roast some folk here
00:16:00.059 --> 00:16:03.740
um he gets i love the verily verily's i just
00:16:03.740 --> 00:16:05.299
think that it's such a cool thing i almost wish
00:16:05.299 --> 00:16:07.320
we still used it but that's one of my favorite
00:16:07.320 --> 00:16:09.940
little little features of the king james version
00:16:09.940 --> 00:16:14.200
here Which again, I'm not married to the King
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:16.940
James Version. I don't think that it's the only
00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:20.059
godly version of the Bible. I'm reading the King
00:16:20.059 --> 00:16:23.360
James Version because it's not copyrighted. And
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:26.039
I'm not paying any money. I'm not making any
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:28.600
money on this thing. And so I'm trying to find
00:16:28.600 --> 00:16:32.899
things that are over 120 years old that can escape
00:16:32.899 --> 00:16:35.240
copyright law. And there's a lot of wisdom from
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:38.700
the ages. So it's a win -win. All right, we're
00:16:38.700 --> 00:16:40.929
moving on. I got night shift brain by the way
00:16:40.929 --> 00:16:42.649
I don't know if you guys can tell on Mondays
00:16:42.649 --> 00:16:44.870
that I've always got a touch of night shift brain
00:16:44.870 --> 00:16:48.269
and so I can be a little bit more flighty and
00:16:48.269 --> 00:16:51.350
rabbit trail -y than usual but you know I still
00:16:51.350 --> 00:16:53.230
got a little caffeine in me so it's working out
00:16:53.230 --> 00:16:57.730
okay oh and I just looked at the clock and it's
00:16:57.730 --> 00:17:00.889
been 10 minutes whoa that's we call that a teaser
00:17:00.889 --> 00:17:04.069
folks in the biz so we're gonna save this verily
00:17:04.069 --> 00:17:06.849
verily for next episode so we're gonna pick it
00:17:06.849 --> 00:17:12.049
up next episode in Chapter 5 verse 19 now we're
00:17:12.049 --> 00:17:15.170
going to go ahead and we're going to head into
00:17:15.170 --> 00:17:19.210
Our spiritual reading which is Fox's book of
00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:23.710
martyrs and Today we're going to be I have a
00:17:23.710 --> 00:17:28.650
PDF that's an open source PDF and it is page
00:17:28.650 --> 00:17:33.750
26 of the PDF and then on the actual page image
00:17:33.750 --> 00:17:37.069
because this this is scanned pages from a book
00:17:37.069 --> 00:17:40.650
that was actually copy written sometime in the
00:17:40.650 --> 00:17:44.150
1800s and In the upper left hand corner. It's
00:17:44.150 --> 00:17:50.789
page 22 and so this is page 26 of 598 in the
00:17:50.789 --> 00:17:54.349
PDF which we will clearly not get through 598
00:17:54.349 --> 00:17:58.650
pages in the next next week or two weeks, so
00:17:58.650 --> 00:18:02.650
There we go. All right. This is titled Jesus
00:18:02.650 --> 00:18:06.970
is buried and risen from the tomb and I'm just
00:18:06.970 --> 00:18:09.240
gonna give you a heads up I'm running a little
00:18:09.240 --> 00:18:12.839
behind this morning, gotta get some sleep, and
00:18:12.839 --> 00:18:16.980
so I'm just gonna read a short, like five minutes
00:18:16.980 --> 00:18:21.200
instead of ten today. I'm also gonna do it strategically
00:18:21.200 --> 00:18:24.980
because this episode is posting right before
00:18:24.980 --> 00:18:28.599
Easter, and this is about... the death, burial
00:18:28.599 --> 00:18:30.920
and resurrection of Jesus. We actually just read
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.319
the death in the previous episode. Now we're
00:18:33.319 --> 00:18:35.660
reading about the burial and resurrection of
00:18:35.660 --> 00:18:38.220
Jesus. And I think that's a perfect place to
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:41.519
stop before we pick up in the next episode, just
00:18:41.519 --> 00:18:45.079
so we can kind of linger on that as we celebrate
00:18:45.079 --> 00:18:49.579
Easter on Sunday. The body of Jesus was taken
00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:52.519
down from the cross by his disciples and buried
00:18:52.519 --> 00:18:56.329
in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. After the
00:18:56.329 --> 00:18:59.450
burial the Jews caused a watch to be set, for
00:18:59.450 --> 00:19:02.049
they said his disciples may come and steal him
00:19:02.049 --> 00:19:04.509
away. But in the night the angel of the Lord
00:19:04.509 --> 00:19:07.410
rolled back the stone from the door of the sepulcher.
00:19:08.069 --> 00:19:10.890
His face was bright like lightning and his garments
00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:14.029
white as snow. The soldiers trembled for fear
00:19:14.029 --> 00:19:16.910
of him and fled from the sepulcher. In the morning
00:19:16.910 --> 00:19:19.730
three women came with spices to the sepulcher,
00:19:20.089 --> 00:19:22.450
but found it empty and the stone rolled away.
00:19:22.910 --> 00:19:25.930
Then they went into the sepulcher. And there
00:19:25.930 --> 00:19:28.750
they saw an angel dressed in long white garments,
00:19:29.210 --> 00:19:32.349
and the women were afraid. But the angel said
00:19:32.349 --> 00:19:35.490
to them, Be not afraid, you are looking for Jesus
00:19:35.490 --> 00:19:39.109
who is crucified. He is not here, he is risen.
00:19:39.589 --> 00:19:42.150
Come and see the place where they laid him, and
00:19:42.150 --> 00:19:44.250
then go and tell his disciples that he is risen
00:19:44.250 --> 00:19:47.150
up from the dead. And the women went out quickly
00:19:47.150 --> 00:19:51.529
and made haste from the sepulcher, for they were
00:19:51.529 --> 00:19:54.589
greatly afraid. and yet they were full of joy
00:19:54.589 --> 00:19:57.670
to know that Jesus has risen. As they went to
00:19:57.670 --> 00:20:00.650
tell the apostles, Jesus himself met them, and
00:20:00.650 --> 00:20:03.029
they bowed down at his feet and worshiped him.
00:20:03.269 --> 00:20:05.710
Then he told them not to be afraid, but to tell
00:20:05.710 --> 00:20:08.150
his apostles that they should go into Galilee,
00:20:08.170 --> 00:20:10.309
and there he said he would come and meet them.
00:20:10.789 --> 00:20:13.829
On the same day that Jesus arose, he appeared
00:20:13.829 --> 00:20:16.250
to two of his disciples who were walking together
00:20:16.250 --> 00:20:19.210
toward a village named Emmaus, which was about
00:20:19.210 --> 00:20:22.390
seven miles from Jerusalem. And another time,
00:20:22.650 --> 00:20:25.049
when the apostles were in a room together, with
00:20:25.049 --> 00:20:27.750
the door shut, Jesus came and stood among them.
00:20:28.109 --> 00:20:31.390
Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, was not in
00:20:31.390 --> 00:20:34.369
the room with the others the first time Jesus
00:20:34.369 --> 00:20:37.849
appeared there to them. Therefore, when they
00:20:37.849 --> 00:20:40.490
told him they had seen the Lord, he would not
00:20:40.490 --> 00:20:43.029
believe them. He said that unless he could himself
00:20:43.029 --> 00:20:46.329
see the marks of the nails and of the spear,
00:20:46.549 --> 00:20:49.500
he would not believe that it was Jesus. After
00:20:49.500 --> 00:20:52.640
eight days had passed the disciples were together
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:56.000
again in a room and Thomas was with them Jesus
00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:59.640
then appeared to them as he had done before standing
00:20:59.640 --> 00:21:02.700
in their midst and he told Thomas to look with
00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:06.299
his own eyes upon his wounded hands inside and
00:21:06.299 --> 00:21:10.140
To be no longer faithless, but believing Thomas
00:21:10.140 --> 00:21:13.400
being at last convinced answered my Lord and
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:18.599
my God Jesus ascends to heaven After this, Jesus
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:21.539
showed Himself several times to His disciples.
00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:24.579
When forty days were past, after He had risen
00:21:24.579 --> 00:21:27.900
from the dead, He met His apostles again at Jerusalem,
00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:30.240
and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:33.359
And it was so, that while He blessed them, He
00:21:33.359 --> 00:21:35.559
was taken from them, and carried up into heaven,
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:38.720
and went into a cloud out of their sight. And
00:21:38.720 --> 00:21:41.079
while they looked toward heaven, as He went up,
00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:43.960
behold, two angels stood by them in white garments,
00:21:44.319 --> 00:21:47.740
who said, Ye men of Galilee, Why stand you gazing
00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:50.980
up into heaven? This same Jesus who has taken
00:21:50.980 --> 00:21:53.299
up from you into heaven shall come down again
00:21:53.299 --> 00:21:56.039
in the clouds as you have seen him go up into
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.680
heaven. Such is the beautiful story of the life
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:03.480
and death, the resurrection from the tomb and
00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:06.420
ascent to heaven of Jesus the Savior of mankind.
00:22:07.119 --> 00:22:09.940
Little is to be wondered at then that heathen
00:22:09.940 --> 00:22:13.019
nations vainly have tried by cruelty and oppression
00:22:13.019 --> 00:22:16.779
to blot out his blessed memory. from among them
00:22:16.779 --> 00:22:20.839
or that they have wholly failed to prevent the
00:22:20.839 --> 00:22:23.339
spread of that divine religion which he founded
00:22:23.339 --> 00:22:26.200
and established with his blood. And we'll go
00:22:26.200 --> 00:22:29.900
ahead and we'll stop there. Happy Easter my friends.
00:22:30.559 --> 00:22:32.420
For those of you who are actually listening to
00:22:32.420 --> 00:22:35.500
this either the day before Easter or on Easter
00:22:35.500 --> 00:22:40.940
or the week of Easter. One thing that I love,
00:22:41.440 --> 00:22:43.519
I mean there's many things that I love about
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:47.990
the the story of the resurrection but one of
00:22:47.990 --> 00:22:50.269
the things that I really love about the story
00:22:50.269 --> 00:22:53.049
of the resurrection is the story of Thomas and
00:22:53.049 --> 00:22:55.670
he's he's been known as doubting Thomas but he
00:22:55.670 --> 00:22:59.109
says I'm not gonna believe nothing y 'all say
00:22:59.109 --> 00:23:02.789
until I actually touch the scars in his hands
00:23:02.789 --> 00:23:05.069
and in his side myself and of course he's probably
00:23:05.069 --> 00:23:07.869
saying this like yeah yeah whatever it's not
00:23:07.869 --> 00:23:12.210
true and yet Jesus shows up and he he's got his
00:23:12.210 --> 00:23:16.809
scars his hands and in his side and Thomas's
00:23:16.809 --> 00:23:21.769
response is my Lord and my God Which again just
00:23:21.769 --> 00:23:23.809
goes to show you we're not talking about a mere
00:23:23.809 --> 00:23:27.869
mortal here folks This is the Son of God the
00:23:27.869 --> 00:23:30.910
Lord and it when we read in the gospel of John
00:23:30.910 --> 00:23:32.690
that we're going through we realize that he is
00:23:32.690 --> 00:23:35.630
the word of God and that all things through him
00:23:35.630 --> 00:23:37.849
were created that nothing was created without
00:23:37.849 --> 00:23:42.240
him and so kind of a big deal Kind of a big deal,
00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:45.480
but this is the little detail that I really love.
00:23:46.079 --> 00:23:50.099
I love that Jesus has his scars, because I think
00:23:50.099 --> 00:23:53.539
if you or I were to be crucified and then we
00:23:53.539 --> 00:23:56.519
were able to be resurrected from the dead, we'd
00:23:56.519 --> 00:23:59.579
be like, booyah, look at me, shining bright,
00:23:59.839 --> 00:24:03.430
you know. Scar -free, perfect, no blemishes,
00:24:03.650 --> 00:24:06.009
you know, got your baby skin back, everything's
00:24:06.009 --> 00:24:09.029
fresh and clean. And instead, Jesus is like,
00:24:09.069 --> 00:24:11.410
nah, I'm keeping these scars. In fact, these
00:24:11.410 --> 00:24:14.970
scars are gonna be a demonstration to Thomas
00:24:14.970 --> 00:24:20.269
and to the world that hell, death, the grave,
00:24:20.849 --> 00:24:24.529
none of it can hold me down. And he just shows
00:24:24.529 --> 00:24:26.390
them off. Like, yeah, remember these things?
00:24:26.690 --> 00:24:29.170
Yeah, yeah, they thought they could kill me.
00:24:29.470 --> 00:24:32.509
And he just, He just keeps them with him. And
00:24:32.509 --> 00:24:36.349
so that test became a testimony. And so I wonder
00:24:36.349 --> 00:24:40.269
what in your life are the tests that you're facing.
00:24:40.470 --> 00:24:43.190
I wonder in my life, what are the tests that
00:24:43.190 --> 00:24:46.710
I'm facing right now or the tests that I've faced
00:24:46.710 --> 00:24:50.069
in my life that you have faced in your life that
00:24:50.069 --> 00:24:53.450
you wish that you could forget them, that you
00:24:53.450 --> 00:24:55.609
would never have to remember them again. But
00:24:55.609 --> 00:24:58.210
God actually doesn't want you to forget them.
00:24:58.569 --> 00:25:04.049
He wants to redeem them. He wants to take those
00:25:04.049 --> 00:25:09.650
traumatic experiences from your past, those seeming
00:25:09.650 --> 00:25:14.170
defeats, just like the cross was a seeming defeat
00:25:14.170 --> 00:25:20.130
of Christ, when in fact, it was the bridge by
00:25:20.130 --> 00:25:24.609
which God used to redeem the world and through
00:25:24.609 --> 00:25:28.069
Christ. And so, what is it that God's redeeming
00:25:28.069 --> 00:25:31.589
through your tragedy? he's gonna turn into triumph
00:25:31.589 --> 00:25:35.990
and so think about that I think that that's something
00:25:35.990 --> 00:25:41.829
that is unique to Christianity and Ultimately,
00:25:41.829 --> 00:25:44.349
it has its power not because it's unique and
00:25:44.349 --> 00:25:48.869
catchy, but because it's true and So we want
00:25:48.869 --> 00:25:53.109
to latch on to that truth and again I'm not saying
00:25:53.109 --> 00:25:57.930
that It's automatic because there's a saying
00:25:59.529 --> 00:26:04.009
I think it might have been, oh, it was like an
00:26:04.009 --> 00:26:07.250
old philosopher. But he said that which doesn't
00:26:07.250 --> 00:26:10.250
kill you makes you stronger. But as a nurse who's
00:26:10.250 --> 00:26:13.150
worked on a trauma unit, I can tell you that
00:26:13.150 --> 00:26:15.890
which does not kill you can potentially cripple
00:26:15.890 --> 00:26:20.009
you for life and leave you a vegetable needing
00:26:20.009 --> 00:26:23.769
to be traked and pegged and sent. I'm not saying
00:26:23.769 --> 00:26:27.430
this to be negative. My point is that things
00:26:27.430 --> 00:26:31.069
have the ability to cripple us. In fact, Jesus
00:26:31.069 --> 00:26:34.609
was killed. He was in the grave. He was dead.
00:26:34.829 --> 00:26:38.750
So it's not that the tragedy itself is what is
00:26:38.750 --> 00:26:41.029
going to do this incredible thing in you, but
00:26:41.029 --> 00:26:44.710
it's the work of the Lord that's going to do
00:26:44.710 --> 00:26:48.049
the miracle. It's through Him that we overcome.
00:26:48.230 --> 00:26:50.130
It's not through our own strength. It's not through
00:26:50.130 --> 00:26:52.750
picking ourselves up by our bootstraps. It's
00:26:52.750 --> 00:26:56.950
by a miracle of God who can redeem all things.
00:26:57.289 --> 00:27:01.029
The Bible says, that He works all things together
00:27:01.029 --> 00:27:03.170
for the good of those who love Him, who've been
00:27:03.170 --> 00:27:06.670
called according to His purposes in Christ Jesus.
00:27:07.369 --> 00:27:10.730
And so, just know that. Know that when you take
00:27:10.730 --> 00:27:14.769
your tragedies, when you take your wounds, when
00:27:14.769 --> 00:27:23.210
you take your scars from the past, that when
00:27:23.210 --> 00:27:26.089
we take those and we give them to God, and we
00:27:26.089 --> 00:27:29.039
place them in God's hands, That's when the miracle
00:27:29.039 --> 00:27:31.819
happens. That's when he turns those things into
00:27:31.819 --> 00:27:36.099
a testimony that can that can help Convince even
00:27:36.099 --> 00:27:40.720
the most doubting of Thomas's And so we'll go
00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:44.240
ahead and stop there and we'll pick it up in
00:27:44.240 --> 00:27:46.599
our next episode where we left off We're gonna
00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:51.299
start learning about The the next martyrs after
00:27:51.299 --> 00:27:54.259
Jesus who died following him, which is which
00:27:54.259 --> 00:27:56.740
is pretty powerful So now we're going to go into
00:27:56.740 --> 00:28:00.000
our five minutes of gratitude, where you'll answer
00:28:00.000 --> 00:28:02.720
the two questions of Sean Achor from The Happiness
00:28:02.720 --> 00:28:04.660
Advantage, which are three things I'm thankful
00:28:04.660 --> 00:28:07.220
for today and why, and three things about the
00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:10.799
most meaningful experience of my day. And so
00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:14.160
for me, I'm going to say, number one, I put down
00:28:14.160 --> 00:28:16.839
a freshly mowed yard because the grass looks
00:28:16.839 --> 00:28:19.160
really green with the rain that we've gotten
00:28:19.160 --> 00:28:24.180
recently. And I'd let it get... pretty shabby
00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:27.440
recently it was like extra long because you know
00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:31.759
the first mow of the season is always like really
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:35.539
you had to grow I mean it's it's really nice
00:28:35.539 --> 00:28:39.200
when I I wish that we could have green grass
00:28:39.200 --> 00:28:40.900
that doesn't grow I mean if we could somehow
00:28:40.900 --> 00:28:46.000
combine the the not growing of the winter with
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:48.259
the green of the spring I mean hey we'd have
00:28:48.259 --> 00:28:50.420
we'd have the perfect thing but That's not the
00:28:50.420 --> 00:28:52.900
world we live in. I got to live in reality and
00:28:52.900 --> 00:28:54.579
got to mow the lawn and it looked good. So there
00:28:54.579 --> 00:28:57.519
you go. Number one, freshly mowed yard. Number
00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.680
two, I'm going to say gum because it freshens
00:28:59.680 --> 00:29:02.599
my coffee breath. And number three is mints because
00:29:02.599 --> 00:29:04.720
they freshen my breath and are less dangerous
00:29:04.720 --> 00:29:07.599
than gum. You know, I don't know if you ever
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:11.029
thought of gum as being dangerous, but I I can't
00:29:11.029 --> 00:29:14.029
chew gum for any length of time without at least
00:29:14.029 --> 00:29:17.250
at one point biting my tongue or biting my inner
00:29:17.250 --> 00:29:19.890
cheek. And so I have at least one ouch while
00:29:19.890 --> 00:29:23.089
I'm chewing gum. And that's not good. Mints don't
00:29:23.089 --> 00:29:26.269
do that to me. But I'm thankful for both. All
00:29:26.269 --> 00:29:29.069
right. Now three things about the most meaningful
00:29:29.069 --> 00:29:32.829
experience of my day. And number one is going
00:29:32.829 --> 00:29:38.890
to be running a 5K, my first 5K with my son and
00:29:38.890 --> 00:29:42.200
daughter. And that was really cool. And then
00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:44.839
the second detail is crossing the finish line
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:47.680
with my daughter and her friend, knowing that
00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:50.759
she had done it on her own. And number three
00:29:50.759 --> 00:29:53.839
is my son and his friend telling me that they
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.460
ran it in under 25 minutes, which means he will
00:29:56.460 --> 00:29:58.779
qualify for the JV cross country team. So that's
00:29:58.779 --> 00:30:02.980
really exciting. And the little bonus detail
00:30:02.980 --> 00:30:06.119
was my daughter asking me to carry her at two
00:30:06.119 --> 00:30:10.039
different points during the race. And I said,
00:30:10.299 --> 00:30:13.480
no. And I asked her, I said, do you see any other
00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:16.440
kids being carried? And she literally pointed
00:30:16.440 --> 00:30:21.779
to a baby in a stroller. And I was like, my daughter's
00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:25.559
really funny. So that's my little bonus detail.
00:30:25.700 --> 00:30:28.339
Those are the things that I'm, the most meaningful
00:30:28.339 --> 00:30:31.339
experience of my day in the last 24 hours. And,
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:32.500
well, you know what? Now that I think about it,
00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:34.859
that wasn't 24 hours. That was 48 hours. But
00:30:34.859 --> 00:30:39.140
who's counting? All right. So now is when I encourage
00:30:39.140 --> 00:30:42.019
you to get your 30 minutes of zone two cardio
00:30:42.019 --> 00:30:46.680
with a five minute warmup and 20 minutes of strength
00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:49.200
training and a five minute cool down. Now in
00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.359
full disclosure, I was pretty worn out this morning.
00:30:52.420 --> 00:30:55.619
So what I did was I did a modified version today
00:30:55.619 --> 00:31:01.019
and I did my five minute warmup and then I ran
00:31:01.019 --> 00:31:04.809
five kilometers on the treadmill. And every half
00:31:04.809 --> 00:31:06.430
a kilometer, I would get down and I would do
00:31:06.430 --> 00:31:12.630
a baker's dozen. Not 12, but 13 push -ups. Which,
00:31:13.250 --> 00:31:15.529
you know, I'm just trying to add one more push
00:31:15.529 --> 00:31:19.049
-up as I go. And I did that every half a kilometer.
00:31:19.170 --> 00:31:21.390
And so I ended up doing like 130 push -ups, and
00:31:21.390 --> 00:31:25.940
that challenged me. So that was my... Strength
00:31:25.940 --> 00:31:27.839
training that I kind of tossed into the middle
00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:29.940
and then because I was so fatigued It also broke
00:31:29.940 --> 00:31:32.579
up my run a little bit which was nice in the
00:31:32.579 --> 00:31:34.900
end It took me I think 35 minutes to do that
00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:37.059
and then I did the five minute warm -up five
00:31:37.059 --> 00:31:39.200
minute cooldown So it was 45 minutes of the gym
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:43.960
today not an hour, but you know it's it's about
00:31:43.960 --> 00:31:49.079
progress not perfection and so That's maybe a
00:31:49.079 --> 00:31:52.039
little modification you can borrow and use yourself
00:31:52.039 --> 00:31:53.759
if you're ever in a day where you're like, Hey
00:31:53.759 --> 00:31:56.000
man, I don't have an hour. I can, but I got 45
00:31:56.000 --> 00:32:01.319
minutes. Um, there you go. All right. So today's
00:32:01.319 --> 00:32:04.519
health hack is not that it's actually about how
00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:09.240
turmeric with 95 % curcumin healed my heart palpitations
00:32:09.240 --> 00:32:13.240
after getting COVID and taking my third shot
00:32:13.240 --> 00:32:16.279
of the vaccine. This was back in 2021. So as
00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:19.490
a nurse, I was one of the first to get the COVID
00:32:19.490 --> 00:32:23.069
vaccine in December 2020 and then got the booster
00:32:23.069 --> 00:32:27.750
in January of 21. But in August of 21, my wife
00:32:27.750 --> 00:32:31.950
and kids got the COVID Delta variant. And that
00:32:31.950 --> 00:32:34.750
was a pretty bad one. And I took off work to
00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:37.190
take care of them. I was literally wearing an
00:32:37.190 --> 00:32:40.509
N95 mask in the home and looking back on it,
00:32:40.509 --> 00:32:43.289
I was so, it was so futile. It was so silly of
00:32:43.289 --> 00:32:45.589
me to think that I could just wear this mask
00:32:45.589 --> 00:32:47.630
in the home, taking care of like four people
00:32:47.630 --> 00:32:53.430
with COVID. But so yeah, no surprise. I got it.
00:32:53.430 --> 00:32:57.910
And then I was sick. I was pretty sick for like,
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:01.359
Three days that I was really sick and then I
00:33:01.359 --> 00:33:03.400
was fine after that my wife had a worst case
00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:06.880
and she kind of got some Like a some long kovat
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.500
that went with it Unfortunately, my my kids were
00:33:10.500 --> 00:33:12.240
fine. Like it was like nothing happened. They
00:33:12.240 --> 00:33:15.579
just got time off from school Which actually
00:33:15.579 --> 00:33:17.559
kind of sucked looking back on that because they
00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:19.700
had all the school lockdowns and everything which
00:33:19.700 --> 00:33:24.619
was booty but hey, it's alright it's in the past
00:33:24.619 --> 00:33:29.099
and Okay, so where I was going with that was
00:33:29.099 --> 00:33:34.880
I got COVID, had some knowledge that in other
00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:38.000
parts of the country, they didn't get the booster
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.559
shot. They made people wait at least 90 days
00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:44.559
after having COVID to get a booster. I don't
00:33:44.559 --> 00:33:46.660
know that I would get it at all this time. Again,
00:33:46.740 --> 00:33:49.019
I'm not telling you what to do. I'm not a doctor.
00:33:49.160 --> 00:33:51.960
This is not medical advice, just telling you
00:33:51.960 --> 00:33:55.720
my thoughts. I would look at having, you know,
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:58.380
like Aaron Rodgers who caught a lot of flack
00:33:58.380 --> 00:34:01.000
for it at the time, I would now consider having
00:34:01.000 --> 00:34:04.220
gotten COVID to be my booster and I would have
00:34:04.220 --> 00:34:07.759
just called it good. But instead, I waited 90
00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:10.800
days, I got my next booster at the time that
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:13.199
I was supposed to get it and it was actually
00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:14.860
longer than what they said. They were like, no,
00:34:14.880 --> 00:34:16.639
you can wait 30 days and then you can come get
00:34:16.639 --> 00:34:18.679
it. And I was like, I don't think so. Cause I
00:34:18.679 --> 00:34:22.539
knew that in Japan, they were saying that Like
00:34:22.539 --> 00:34:25.079
they were putting people on baby aspirin for
00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.880
90 days after having COVID because they knew
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:31.059
that the inflammatory response was still active
00:34:31.059 --> 00:34:33.460
and that people could form blood clots who were
00:34:33.460 --> 00:34:36.360
at risk obviously. And so I waited 90. Well,
00:34:36.460 --> 00:34:38.599
long story short, I developed heart palpitations.
00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:41.719
Then I knew because I was immersed in this world
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:44.420
of COVID, you know, it was like my life for that
00:34:44.420 --> 00:34:50.699
time period. And so I knew that men were getting
00:34:52.170 --> 00:34:54.409
myocarditis and pericarditis. I was never officially
00:34:54.409 --> 00:34:57.170
diagnosed but one day I was at work and I was
00:34:57.170 --> 00:34:59.510
feeling these palpitations in my heart and I
00:34:59.510 --> 00:35:02.670
hooked myself up to an EKG and I was throwing
00:35:02.670 --> 00:35:05.230
PVCs and so like in one little six second strip
00:35:05.230 --> 00:35:09.590
I threw three individual PVCs. They weren't together
00:35:09.590 --> 00:35:12.269
because that'd be VTAC and that'd be bad but
00:35:12.269 --> 00:35:15.869
you know seeing three PVCs in six seconds is
00:35:15.869 --> 00:35:18.730
not a you know a happy thing so I'm thinking
00:35:18.730 --> 00:35:21.349
crap. Man, I gotta do something about this. So
00:35:21.349 --> 00:35:24.369
I did a little research and I found Dr. Peter
00:35:24.369 --> 00:35:27.949
McCullough, who's a famous cardiologist, and
00:35:27.949 --> 00:35:31.809
he's published more cardiology research papers
00:35:31.809 --> 00:35:34.489
than any other cardiologist, I think in history,
00:35:34.510 --> 00:35:39.630
but I know living for sure. And he recommended
00:35:39.630 --> 00:35:43.550
taking turmeric, specifically the kind with the
00:35:43.550 --> 00:35:46.130
95 % curcuminoid, because it's the curcumin.
00:35:46.460 --> 00:35:50.019
that has the anti -inflammatory property. And
00:35:50.019 --> 00:35:51.900
he said that it helps with the myocarditis and
00:35:51.900 --> 00:35:55.280
the pericarditis. So I took it and hey, sure
00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:59.079
enough, it worked. And so I highly recommend
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:01.300
it because I've learned more things since then.
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.239
So apparently, there's some good research out
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.239
there that shows that turmeric with high levels
00:36:07.239 --> 00:36:12.900
of curcumin has anti -inflammatory. effects for
00:36:12.900 --> 00:36:15.300
rheumatoid arthritis. It helps bring relief to
00:36:15.300 --> 00:36:17.780
rheumatoid arthritis. Also, they're studying
00:36:17.780 --> 00:36:21.260
it in India right now because apparently women
00:36:21.260 --> 00:36:24.599
in India, like breast cancer is almost non -existent.
00:36:24.739 --> 00:36:28.760
And as the son of a breast cancer survivor, I
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.179
care about this issue. And I think, you know,
00:36:31.179 --> 00:36:33.079
that's really cool. Maybe they're onto something
00:36:33.079 --> 00:36:37.079
there that we know that that cancer is caused
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:39.659
from the proliferation of abnormal cells and
00:36:39.659 --> 00:36:41.900
so these cells get damaged over time and most
00:36:41.900 --> 00:36:43.639
of the time our body is able to weed them out
00:36:43.639 --> 00:36:45.699
and kill them off before they start to reproduce.
00:36:46.199 --> 00:36:48.820
But cancer is when you get one of these mutated
00:36:48.820 --> 00:36:53.420
cells that continues to reproduce and it's the
00:36:53.420 --> 00:36:57.099
proliferation of abnormal cells. Anyways, if
00:36:57.099 --> 00:37:00.280
you can, and what causes damage to cells? Well,
00:37:00.320 --> 00:37:04.010
one of the things that causes damage is chronic
00:37:04.010 --> 00:37:09.909
inflammation. Now, just a reminder that Dr. Andrew
00:37:09.909 --> 00:37:12.349
Huberman, the professor at Stanford, who's got
00:37:12.349 --> 00:37:15.550
the great podcast, Huberman Lab, he reminds us
00:37:15.550 --> 00:37:19.389
that inflammation is actually a good, healthy
00:37:19.389 --> 00:37:23.409
response, and that people who do not have inflammation,
00:37:24.349 --> 00:37:28.199
I think their joints start to deteriorate. it's
00:37:28.199 --> 00:37:30.300
bad for you. That's why people who take steroids
00:37:30.300 --> 00:37:33.219
long term, which suppress, it's a powerful anti
00:37:33.219 --> 00:37:38.480
-inflammatory, they end up, it's really bad for
00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:40.659
them. Which is the real reason why you don't
00:37:40.659 --> 00:37:43.800
want professionals doing steroids, because when
00:37:43.800 --> 00:37:47.860
that is the bar, Well then, now if you're going
00:37:47.860 --> 00:37:51.059
to achieve that, you've got to start using steroids
00:37:51.059 --> 00:37:54.659
in college to get to the professional levels.
00:37:54.920 --> 00:37:58.039
And then if that's become the new standard in
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:00.000
college, well then you need to start doing steroids
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:02.840
in high school so that you can get into college
00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:06.179
on your scholarship. And then if that's the bar
00:38:06.179 --> 00:38:09.840
to make the varsity team in high school, well
00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:11.400
then maybe you need to start taking steroids
00:38:11.400 --> 00:38:14.239
as early as possible. And we don't want that.
00:38:14.360 --> 00:38:16.500
Why don't we just get rid of the steroids except
00:38:16.500 --> 00:38:18.800
when the doctors prescribe them for very specific
00:38:18.800 --> 00:38:20.900
things like, you know, you come in with a COPD
00:38:20.900 --> 00:38:24.420
exacerbation or something like that. But just
00:38:24.420 --> 00:38:27.880
get rid of them. We don't. That way, it's a level
00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.460
playing field. If nobody's doing steroids, then
00:38:30.460 --> 00:38:32.820
nobody needs the steroids. Okay. All right. That
00:38:32.820 --> 00:38:35.760
was a little rabbit trail. Again, night shift
00:38:35.760 --> 00:38:40.130
brain, flatty brain Monday, we'll call it. kind
00:38:40.130 --> 00:38:43.670
of going back to this idea of inflammation. Well,
00:38:43.949 --> 00:38:45.510
inflammation, chronic sustained inflammation
00:38:45.510 --> 00:38:49.289
is one of the things that causes abnormal cells,
00:38:49.590 --> 00:38:52.210
cancer cells, to produce. And they're finding
00:38:52.210 --> 00:38:54.989
that, like they're thinking, and it's not proven
00:38:54.989 --> 00:38:56.530
yet, but they're thinking there might be a link
00:38:56.530 --> 00:38:59.730
between the fact that in India, they eat so much
00:38:59.730 --> 00:39:02.969
curry. So much of their cooking has curcumin
00:39:02.969 --> 00:39:07.190
in it, has turmeric in it. And so, yeah, good
00:39:07.190 --> 00:39:09.159
stuff. So there you go, there's my health hack
00:39:09.159 --> 00:39:12.719
of the day. Take your Tumeric, get the kind that's
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:18.199
got the 95 % curcuminoids. I'm not gonna promote
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:20.579
any particular brand, but I get mine on Amazon,
00:39:20.860 --> 00:39:23.500
and it's a pretty good deal. It can get pretty
00:39:23.500 --> 00:39:25.460
pricey, so you just gotta shop around to find
00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:29.880
a good deal. And that is all, my friends. Thank
00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:32.800
you for tuning in to the 90 Days with Nurse Dan
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:35.760
podcast. I hope that this... podcast has been
00:39:35.760 --> 00:39:39.179
as beneficial for you as it is for me. If not,
00:39:39.280 --> 00:39:40.900
I hope that you do find a practice that works
00:39:40.900 --> 00:39:42.739
for you. But if it has been beneficial for you
00:39:42.739 --> 00:39:44.239
and it gives you a structure that allows you
00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:46.360
to create space for God to work in your body,
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:48.519
mind and spirit, then please give this podcast
00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.340
a five star review on Spotify or Apple podcast
00:39:51.340 --> 00:39:53.960
and stay on this journey for the full 90 days.
00:39:54.239 --> 00:39:55.280
