#1 FERTILITY EXPERT: Top Foods & Supplements to Boost Fertility | Iman Hasan

23:41Because when women have sex, you automatically bond. You get attached to men. Men don't work in that way. And so this society that has been instilled in us culturally, I think we're falling apart. I think we don't believe in the sanctity of marriage anymore. I think more and more people are saying things like I hear about things like open relationships, which I think is absolutely absurd. It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I think you need therapy. Like, I just think you should ask yourself. Everyone should have therapy who thinks that's okay. Yeah. It's absurd to me. And so I don't care if you're religious or not religious, if you're listening to this.

24:16It's about valuing yourself as a person, as a woman. And this delusion that we have, or we're going to hook up a couple of times with a guy, not ask him for anything, not ask him to put a label on it, and then somehow we'll end up together. It doesn't work like that. You need to value yourself as a woman. And I think sex is an energetic exchange. Who you allow literally into your body matters. And I think the basis on what that's happening should matter. And so I think if I had a daughter today, Josh, I would raise her to really value herself. And I would raise her to have really high standards about when it comes to dating, when it comes to choosing a partner, when it comes to who she wants to share her body with and in what regard.

24:57And I don't think these young women, you see them in college and stuff with casual sex. I think that's completely toxic. because it's leaving more and more women confused. If you're listening to this and if you want to start dating, do not sleep with the men. Take your time, get to know somebody. Are your values aligned? Do you want to raise kids the same way? Do you have the same outlook on life? How do you guys want to spend your time and money? But also how do you guys want to give back? Because we're all here to be in service one way or the other. Yeah. And one of the things that attracted me to my wife, Chelsea, was she had very high standards.

25:28And for guys, it's like, you know, I think the way God created us is like, well, we want to challenge. I don't want to, if you have the right guy. If the guy's like, well, I want the worst possible, that's not the right guy versus me. It was very much like, no, I want a woman that has very, very high standards, who challenges me, who makes me better. And I think all that's important. And then what you shared, I think it's so good. Biblically, the book of Corinthians talks about this. It says that the man is supposed to model what Christ did for the church. And that means sacrificing yourself and literally dying.

26:05And so part of what women should have, and this seems like an incredibly high standard, but the standard should be your man is willing to die for you. Not like in theory, but literally they would sacrifice themselves, take a bullet for you, sacrifice the things that matter most to them in order to make your life a dream, in order to make you holy, help you grow. And I think about that sometimes for myself is like, what can I do to help Chelsea? Like, what are her dreams? How can I make those come true? But I think that that's not, most women aren't, again, they've taken their standards and making them so, so low.

26:44Correct. And so then, and then men are like, okay, well, it's a low standard, you know. Oh, yeah. Why do you have to put in the work? So in the indigenous communities, I have to look this up. I'll show you after. Yeah. There's a very famous quote that I once found of a couple. And it says the following, that a true, perfect relationship is that a man comes into a woman's life to make her feel so safe so she can walk the earth unharmed. And a woman's job is to return a man's soul to God, to creator. And that is like a perfect harmony. and if you think about it right is to take a man because women tend to be more spiritual right we're more connected to our spirituality our faith more internal correct right and men sometimes because of society get removed from that so if you're helping a man reconnect with source himself faith and whatever that means to him and return him back to creator and if he's able to keep you safe make you feel safe and secure that's really a beautiful relationship and so whether you look at it from a fertility angle you look at from an emotional health angle when a woman feels safe in her body that is when she's operating at her best yes in western society because we've moved so far away from living in our feminine jess and i were actually talking about that last night that so many women have become type a including me and that is not us being in flow with ourselves when we're so type a and so in our masculine because we're forced to be because of work and culture and society that's living out of our our beautiful design that we were created in wow and so if we're If we're living out of design, then why are we questioning why we have things like infertility?

28:14Why are we struggling in relationships, but we're not living in the way we're created to be in that perfect yin and yang? Yeah, it's so good. You know, I think this solves everything. I mean, God created, designed us to live a certain way. And when we're living out of design, it makes us sick. Jordan, Ruben, and I, when we wrote Biblio Diet, we kind of got into this in terms of the food. Even regenerative agriculture, being outside more. When the sun comes up, you should wake up. And all those things speak to that. I want to mention something else because you use the word identity there. I think my understanding and what has allowed me to build a strong identity, I think my wife as well, and we want to extend this to our girls, is this sort of idea of, okay, your identity is tied to your sense of self-value and worth.

29:00And from the Christian perspective, Christ gave his life for us. So you have the person who is perfect in this world and God gave his son that we could live. That should be such a value building thing within you that you had somebody, the perfect person who gave their life for you. And a very similar thing, something that could build confidence for the female in the relationship is the husband gives his life for you. That should build value. But again, if you're dating somebody who won't sacrifice for you, they're putting themselves first constantly. It's 50-50. It's 50-50. Yeah, like even even even this is so simple paying for a meal.

29:41Of course, the man should pay because they're called to sat be the one that's sacrificing whatever the thing is they have for the woman. And that's changed dramatically even in the world today. Things like that. I think and I'm a working woman. I'm a professional. I have two businesses and I love what I do. But at the end of the day, I think we all men and women have certain roles. And I think we've come so far out of that. a man is a provider at the end of the day. And I don't care if you're listening to this and you're a woman and you're being like, oh, she's being a contradiction. I think a man's role is to provide for his woman, for his family, and to keep her safe and protect her.

30:15And a woman's role is to provide emotionally for a man and spiritually for a man and make sure, you know, a house is running well, the kids are being raised. I still believe in traditional gender roles. And I think in Western society, a lot of that has also been broken down where women have become like men and men have become like women and we're all going around life so confused and the women are like, well, I don't feel safe. And the men are like, well, my needs are not being tended to. But there has been that complete illusion of who we are that's being destroyed. You know, as I think about the way that the Bible portrays this, I think that there are, there are, there tend to be certain rules.

30:49But I do want to say, I do think there's an element of them overlapping at times. And there are, in terms of mutual support. So, so like, so like, I think it's okay if, if, if the woman is the main breadwater. financially. But to your point, I think that women tend to need more of this love and sacrifice from the man and man needs more respect and nurturing in that certain way as well, on average, as you're sharing. But I do think that that's, I do think that's been lost. I do think it's lost. I think society is trying to make men and women identical, the same to where you almost don't see a difference.

31:24And that's wrong. We know God made Adam, he made Eve, he made man, he made woman. And so I think that to ignore that is to the detriment because it's not by design, to your point. I have to say though, Josh, I will say that if a woman is a breadwinner in the family, there is a throw off in there because she has to wake up and then go to work and be like, I need to make money. I need to earn. And that becomes her top priority, right? That becomes her top priority. She's going to move away from taking care of her emotional body. here here is my point with this i think you're for the most part totally correct in what you're sharing i one thing i do see in the bible though on occasion for instance deborah deborah was a judge in the bible uh we also see somebody later on not in the bible but who was very spiritual joan of arc yeah and she was this prince of this warrior so my only point there is that sometimes i think god calls absolutely certain people to do things that that maybe society would be like well, that's a role for a man or that's a role for a woman.

32:25But it's not to say there's not a natural disposition for the way God created us in terms of our needs emotionally, spiritually, is what you're saying. So I agree with that. I'm with you. My parents, for example, my parents both worked and they shared the company together and my mom supported my dad. My dad was living abroad in Europe a lot of the time and she raised me, but she also worked full time. So it just depends on the role individually that we want to take on. And as long as women still remember, we have different hormone cycle to men. We have different needs. We still want to feel emotionally safe.

32:57So if you want to take on the breadwinner role, that's absolutely fine. But make sure you still focus on your emotional safety and allow yourself to still step into your feminine. You know, a great chapter of the Bible for people to read is Proverbs 31. And it goes through, here are the traits of a great woman, basically. And part of that is, it says, women working. Yeah. And so I think there's even an element sometimes today where maybe some people have taken it too far in certain areas, but it's a really great chapter for people to go and read. I encourage everybody to go and read it. Read Proverbs 31, Solomon, one of the wisest people, if not the wisest ever lived, reading about what he said in that chapter in terms of what describes a, you know, a woman.

33:40Like what sort of the ideal should be. Do you have unexplainable illness, hormone dysfunction, weight loss resistance, brain fog, and you're tired of being dismissed when you know something isn't right? Well, get my at-home testing of targeted biomarkers, including hormones, thyroid, and metabolism, plus a full hour with one of my senior health advisors to help you understand your results. The truth is your doctor is probably reading your blood work all wrong. They're missing the cellular issues behind the symptoms. This new testing flips the script. The future of interpreting test results is here.

34:18I'm currently offering a simple at-home blood test that actually tests for the right things. And just as importantly, it comes with proper interpretation of your results. If you want to check it out and grab one before they're gone, just go to mybloodwork.com now. You know, one of the things that you've said quite a bit, and I think this is so important for women, is that they need to feel comfort, safety, security. And we talked about Chinese medicine with this. And so one thing I tell patients all the time when they're working on infertility, especially if I have a woman, and this, again, has been through a miscarriage, is I will tell them, here's what I want you to feel like.

35:00I want you to think about, it's November, Christmas lights are getting put up, you're on a couch, you're wrapped up in a warm blanket, fireplace is going, and your favorite beverage, You know, if it's a chai tea or a latte or hot chocolate, you're drinking that your family's around and you just feel like you're just being wrapped in like that's the feeling you need to be in spiritually, mentally, psychologically, emotionally for the ideal birth and conception. Absolutely. Yeah. I fully agree with that. And I think also when you are giving birth, the hospital system, I have plenty of friends who just, you know, have newborn babies.

35:39And I think the hospital system is also not setting you up for success. How we bring a life into this world. It's cold. It's sterile. They're trying to rush you through it. They're forcing you to have a C-section when a lot of women that end up having C-sections can actually have natural births, you know. And you need to be pushing for that birthing plan. So a lot of women are going into this. It's not just about conception, right? It's about how you see that birth through. I truly believe a soul chooses how they enter this world, the time they're born, the date they're born and how they're born.

36:08Who the hell are we to mess with that? So when you are pushing and this is when people are like, I'm just going to have a C-section. Why? Why are you just going to have a C-section if you don't need it? It's. So you're taking away from how your child and their soul chooses to come into this world. So they come into the world already rattled with a piece of trauma on them because you have taken away their free will and their choice on how to enter. Sometimes your birth will be longer. Sometimes it'll be shorter. Have a strong birth plan. Be rooted in your values of how you want to bring a life into this world.

36:38And then work with practitioners and doctors who support that. And if you want to do line of midwife in the room as well, go for it. But make sure you're finding the right medical community to support you. There's a very, and when I say very, I'm talking about very small number of women who you get in that situation and you need to have a C-section. Absolutely. But it is so small compared to the number and percentage that's the day a lot of people are scheduling. And here's how bad it's gotten. Like, I know this isn't one friend. I know a bunch. They went to their doctor and their OBGYN told them this.

37:11They said, you've got a small body. And so the baby wouldn't fit out. Do you know how it's crazy? So my mom, you will not believe this. I'm like 5 '2 for anybody watching me. And I weigh about 108 pounds. My mom was smaller than me, more petite than I was. And I was eight and a half pounds when I was born. Natural. No. Yeah, you got a little 99 pound mom, you know, giving birth. And my sister was 10 and a half pounds. Okay. So think about that. There was no epidural back in the day and they birthed. And we had like, she had a normal like birth duration and stuff. But I'm thinking to myself, how far has the medical community come?

37:49Not only when it comes to supporting women who are going through infertility, not providing them the proper tools and resources and education and all that stuff, but then also while they're pregnant and then seeing them to the point of them giving birth, how disconnected we have become from traditional practices that have worked and helped us build healthy families. Well, part of this goes all the way back in history a few hundred years to where we sort of separated church and state. And we said church is over here, religion's over here, our country's over here. And so there's going to be a total separation.

38:16And this happened in science too. We kind of said, well, science and God or science and religion are completely separate and different. But they're not. No, they're not at all. At all. And then this is even now coming to birth to where it's like, now doctors have God complexes and have tried to remove anything sort of understanding of God-given design from the whole process. So I, where does science come from? It comes from the divine, right? If God does not put a thought in your head or an idea in your head, or how do you come to this? Well, the other thing that kind Can I just tell you, it drives me crazy.

38:46Science is just a methodology. So sometimes people are like, I'm worshiping science. You're worshiping a system. Like it doesn't, like it just doesn't align. So what people are actually worshiping when their doctors are playing God is it's self-worship or it's actually worshiping a system like Rockefeller set up, which is the medical association and sort of their philosophies. And it's all for profit. And so it's not even, that's right. Yeah, that's right. Corruption and all for profit. If we look back at history in America alone and understand where chronic disease started rising and where the medical system got infiltrated by these private entities coming in and realizing and filtering into the medical schools and the hospital systems and how they started indoctrinating these young doctors who are being trained and pharmaceutical stepped in and stuff, that's when chronic disease started rising.

39:37This is not something I'm making up. You guys can just research this on your own and see that correlation. And so when our health became for profit, that's when it all shifted. And it shifted because we moved so far away from actual healing medicine and keeping people healthy and safe versus to being like, how long can I keep this person on a certain medication? What other thing can I throw at them? What vaccines can I throw at them? Now it's all about IVF because it's one of the most profitable industries. And private equities are coming in and buying up all these IVF clinics and forcing these doctors to push women into multiple cycles.

40:14Sometimes families have to take out loans and mortgages on their homes. And so it's so evil at the way we have started treating people's bodies and people's health. And even let's say in health and wellness, right? In longevity, there's so many brands that are selling you products that promise to do something that they don't because they just want to make money off you because longevity and healthspan has become a trending topic. Yeah, yeah. I want to circle back to what you just said, but I want to go back to one other thing, and it's this, the idea of science. There's this person who posts online on Instagram frequently.

40:53He's a PhD, and he did this post about how science is basically, you know, uh, this, this, the solution for everything. And he said, you know, it's science that actually helped, uh, basically our lifespan go up so much in the 1900s. Uh, and I'm like, you know what, you know, what actually helped extend our lifespan the most is sanitation. Correct. Like that single-handedly, you know, it talks about the sanitation constantly is the Bible. Go and read the book of Leviticus or other ancient religious documents, like you're going to see the prioritization, like they have a solution for mold. Don't eat certain foods because you'll get parasites like pork, like hand wash, like these ritual washings all the time.

41:36So the reality is, is that no, that didn't fix it. It's that religion fixed it or in God's word, but now you're actually trying to give science credit for something that has been known for thousands of years. So for anybody listening, I'm Muslim, right? And if you look at Islam, we were told to pray five times a day. Before we pray, we're told to do wuzu, which is washing and cleansing ourselves and being conscious of what we're eating, what we're consuming, even our thoughts. And so sanitization of your body, sanitization of your thoughts, sanitization of your emotional health, all matters. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I absolutely agree.

42:19You can take back control of your metabolism, your energy, and your hormones naturally. I've put together an in-depth practical training to help you balance your hormones using powerful foods, herbs, and natural lifestyle strategies that actually work. If you're ready to start feeling like yourself again, go to draxhormoneclass.com or click the link in the description to begin your healing journey today. That's draxhormoneclass.com to take back your health naturally. Well, let's talk about IVF a little bit more. And this is something to where the amount people are spending is incredibly high. And I want to compare it to this.

43:03You know, I have a lot of people who I work with with type 2 diabetes. And I think everyone that has diabetes should go to a doctor. and then the doctor should prescribe them diet, certain herbal supplements and foods like gymnosa and berberine and cinnamon and chromium and recommend walking. That should be it. And then if they try that for years and years and it doesn't work, maybe then there's time for a medication for a short period of time. But as little as possible and get off it as quick as possible. The same should be done with every medical condition and the same should be done. With IVF and fertility.

43:41with IVF infertility, that's not the way it is at all anymore. No, not at all. So you walk into an IVF clinic. Firstly, they're not even checking for a lot of the baseline stuff. They're not checking for your vitamin D. They're not checking for your zinc. They're not checking for magnesium. They're not checking your thyroid function. If your thyroid is off, of course you're going to have infertility. They're not. And another thing, you're walking in as a woman, 50 % of infertility comes from men. 50 % is female, 50 % is men. If you're walking into a clinic and automatically they're not checking the man's sperm, You better get the hell out of there.

44:12I just did a podcast with someone in California. He's in his 20s. And his doctor recommended testosterone. That destroys your sperm completely. And I asked him, I said, you know, are you planning on having kids? Yeah. Well, and the doctor didn't even have the conversation with him because they don't realize that men taking testosterone makes them infertile for that time. And so there should be, there's a lot of supplementation and natural ways for men. if you're listening to this, or you have a husband or a partner and his sperm count is not good or his motility is not good, there's a lot of healthy ways for them to raise their natural testosterone levels.

44:50One is weight training and lifting more. One is cold plunging. Mindset has a lot to do with meditation. And then the supplementations are the same for men and women. CoQ10, zinc, selenium, magnesium, vitamin D. Those are the five main supplements that work for men's sperm and motility, as well as reducing oxidative stress when it comes to women. The other thing that they don't tell you about is that your oocytes, your eggs have the highest concentration of mitochondria than anywhere in your body. It's 100 ,000 mitochondria that exist in your oocytes. Wow, that's amazing. And it's actually not even that malleable, meaning saliva in your skin can get damaged more.

45:30The oocytes in your eggs actually are, sorry, the mitochondria in your eggs is actually very, very resilient. but the mitochondria in your eggs needs to be fed like anywhere in your body. So another thing that is extremely helpful is helping increase your ATP energy. And what do you do that with? Things like NAD, you know, if you're trying to conceive or you're going through a cycle, your body doesn't actually have NAD receptors. But if you do flood dose your body at that time with NAD IVs or injections, that can be really helpful. But a more holistic, cheaper solution is precursors of NAD, which is NMN and NR in a high enough dose, with antioxidants in it, like Reversatrol.

46:08And that alone has, in mice, shown to increase fertility by 30 to 40%. This is data. I'm not making this up. Another thing that is extremely beneficial is rapamycin. So rapamycin was originally, it's a longevity drug. Columbia did a research on 50 women that were given rapamycin, some placebo and some actual rapamycin, at a dose of five milligrams once a week for a duration of three months. And the data so far has shown that it increased your ovarian age by 20%, meaning slowed down ovarian aging by five years. And it should, when we look at women's health, everything that helps with longevity and slowing down ovarian aging is what's going to increase your fertility, give you chance to have kids later, have healthier children.

46:56We also, this is another lie that's fed to us. You cannot improve your egg quality. and after 35, your egg quality drops. It's absolutely bad. You can 100 % through diet, exercise, lifestyle, and the correct supplementation, improve your egg quality and Chinese medicine and herbs. You can improve your egg quality. Yes, we as women are born with a certain amount of eggs. Those are the eggs that we walk into this earth with and when they finish, they finish. However, a lot of the more progressive, holistic, alternative fertility doctors, there are two amazing ones. There's one on Instagram called Dr.

47:29Amy Azadeh, the egg whisperer. And a guy called Dr. Zahir Merhi, they have helped women 45, 47, 48 get pregnant. Not just like going through IVF, but helping prep their bodies, giving them the right nutrition, anti-inflammatory diet. Also, another reason that women tend to have more miscarriages and not conceive is because when we're getting older in 30s and 40s, we lose a lot of muscle mass. If we want to have a healthy pregnancy, we need actually more muscle mass because it also helps with insulin resistance. Yeah. So drop your cardio ladies and start going to the gym and hitting weights, because I promise you that's going to help you with your fertility journey and actually even help you.

48:08Women who tend to lift more weights actually have shorter deliveries and healthier deliveries. Yeah. Yeah. I know my wife is an avid fitness person and we we did home births at home in a pool. Amazing. and her births were just so fast. Right. It was sort of crazy. So the first time we gave, so with Arwen, our five-year-old, Chelsea gets in the shower and thinks that, okay, the contractions are just starting. I'm like, okay, great. When should I call the midwife? We go a few hours, and I'm like, okay. So I brought her a timer so we can kind of look at how far the contractions are apart. And I'm like, okay, you're keeping track, right?

48:51You just want to make sure. Yeah. And of course, I should have been looking more. And then finally, I'm like, I go and look at how far apart they are. I'm like, Chelsea, you're about to give birth. Like we called the main midwife didn't even get there in time because 40 minutes later the baby was coming. One got there in time. And then like I was supposed to fill this pool. I go to fill the pool tub. The bathtub handle breaks off. It was like this sort of like movie, total pandemonium. It all worked out and it happened fine. But it happens so fast. So fast. Your wife must lift a lot of weights.

49:26She lifts a lot of weights. The thing I will say, though, she will tell you now, is she wished she would have learned to breathe even better. Absolutely. Because learning how to breathe and doing deep breathing is so important for not tearing, just having the best. Because you're raising yourself, right? Yes. You're regulating yourself as you're going through your process. You're telling your brain you're safe. You're telling your body you're safe. You're not shortening up and feeling like you're in a panic. You're breathing through it. Yeah. So automatically your nervous system is regulated. If your nervous system is regulated when the baby has to drop, you're ready for that.

49:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. So I think that's a great point. Metabolically, it's a great point in terms of birth. And it's something I've hardly ever heard anybody even mention in relation to having a great pregnancy. And I think if you are wanting to have a baby, I think you said so many things that I think are so incredibly wise. When you want to have a plan, that's a big thing. Really spend time with a plan. Make it holistic. Eat foods. Again, remember that picture. Like you're warm, you're nourished, you're safe, you're secure. I also remember this. Chelsea really wanted us to own a home because we were renting at the time.

50:31Yeah. And there was this thing. The nest. Yeah, the nesting. Right. And I was like, you know, can we just wet? And she was like, no, we need to own a home. And I was like, okay, well, I'm going to make it happen. We're going to, you know. And so there's a lot happening emotionally during that time. And women are emotionally complex. I think men are not that emotionally complex. At the end of the day, men have a 24-hour hormone cycle. Women have four different hormone cycles a month. We are just set to be more complex. And then when we hit things like perimenopause that can start sometimes as, unfortunately, as early as your 30s now, and then we go into menopause, our brains are wired so differently.

51:07We have so many hormones that get affected. And on top of that, if you're not feeling safe or secure, that can completely throw you off. So I do think there has to be more education for women around their bodies. There has to be more awareness around signs and symptoms of perimenopause and then how to delay actually going into menopause because research has shown you can do that. PRP, stem cells for the ovaries, anti-inflammatory diet. People have been able to pull themselves out of early menopause and put that more into rest. Listen, menopause is inevitable. It's going to happen to all of us.

51:38But the speed at which that happens, we can now reverse. Rapamycin, right? And if we want to have healthier babies, we want to have them at a later date, whatever it may be, we need to slow down us falling into menopause. And that also means reducing the stress in our lives, regulating our nervous systems, reducing inflammation, feeling safe. There's so much that goes into being a woman these days. And I think the fact that we don't sit with ourselves and take all that in is what's throwing us into this toxic cycle, which is causing so much infertility and panic in us. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I would say I want to mention with rapamycin, too.

52:15I think there are some herbs, there are some foods, there's some weight lifting in particular, some things that are really good for increasing that as well. But just for complexity sake, again, I think for so many people, reduce the busyness, as we talked about, make sure you have a partner that you love, you're committed to for life and dietarily eat these foods that are warm and nourishing. Again, there's a difference between eating like a cold salad or melon versus a warm bowl of soup, right? It just there's something you really want to warm your insides. I'm so glad you brought that up early because I think that's one of the things that's most lost.

52:50And then post-pregnancy, one thing a lot of women don't realize, and I think this is part of the reason why a lot of women have postpartum depression, is you've lost so much blood. And your placenta is pure collagen and blood. And so I think a lot of women, if you've ever lost a lot of blood, you feel kind of weak and tired and pale. Higher deficient, yeah. Yeah. And so I think when you go and look at the Chinese medicine, Ayurveda, Middle Eastern even, as well, their ways afterwards, it's a lot of beef soup. It's a lot of even things like beets, organ meats are huge. Like Chelsea supplement with her own placenta.

53:23You did encapsulation afterwards. But you really want to build your blood big time post-pregnancy. And minerals. A lot of women are mineral deficient. And we talked about the lack of minerals when it comes to infertility and it can cause infertility, but also postpartum. Minerals play a very big role in that. The correct balance of magnesium, zinc, selenium, all of this stuff really matters. The other thing is when you give birth, your body almost mimics menopause, right? So women are like, what is going on with me? What is happening here? It takes up to two years for women to fully go back hormonally to that initial state.

53:55so they need to be properly supported by a partner but they need the correct nutrients and macronutrients to support their progress as well so when you look at eastern cultures women for the first 40 days stay in bed they rest sleep community comes in mother-in-law comes in mother comes in they take care of you you take warm baths you keep your feet warm in chinese medicine keeping your feet warm is extremely important because it warms up your organs you're eating whole food diet You're drinking a lot of things that are really good for your gut microbiome. And so I don't know why we get so disconnected and we're not looking at cultures that are doing it well.

54:32Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I absolutely agree. I think people still think that the United States is the healthiest country in the world. It's like 70. Yeah. We spend the most per capita on healthcare, but yet we're one of the sickest nations in the world. and I'm like, what delusion are we under? And you know what's crazy to me, Josh, is like I've been spending a lot of time in the Middle East, right? So I spent a lot of time in Dubai, Saudi. Those countries, as you know, they have their things, but I will tell you they're so invested in the health of their people from taking their countries forward versus America.

55:10Well, Dubai and Saudi are spending a crazy amount of money on it. Anything to make sure, extended health span, to keep their citizens healthy, to do anything to better the quality of life of their citizens. And you look at a country like, you look at the UAE. There was this big meme that was going around social media last year that Dubai got flooded. And the country, it got flooded. And the community all came together. And within 48 hours, it looked like the country was never even flooded, ever to begin with. Wow. And the fact that they're so community driven, safety and security is not an issue.

55:42The way they take care of their people really matters. And in America, you go to a lot of cities, and they're so, you go to California, it's so high in taxation and the shitty city is falling apart. It's gone. So we have to really look at ourselves and be like, we need to vote with our dollars. We need to vote for people that are actually going to bring change into this country. And it is sometimes really sad to me that people make promises and they sometimes don't keep them. But we really need to be conscious of not only our medical system, but our political systems also matter, right? It's all so integrated with each other.

56:09Yeah, yeah. Well, Aman, I love this conversation today. I think that there are, as you mentioned, The infertility rates continue to climb. A lot of conditions like PCOS and there are natural solutions. Endometriosis is natural solutions. There you go. Yeah, there are so many things. And just to hit on a few of the highlighted things we talked about. One, again, there is a spiritual emotional component to pregnancy and to flourishing in life in general. And so really, you want to prioritize and don't settle, right? And part of the way you find the right partner is growing yourself, becoming more virtuous yourself, right?

56:49And so, and having higher standards. No, not too high. By the way, I did want to say this. I'm actually thinking of a few people in my head. And I'm like, you're trying to marry someone that's not even, it doesn't exist. So be balanced in that for some of you. But again, you do, again, for the women, you want to have a man that is willing to die for you, like Christ died for the church. You want to focus on that. And the other thing is, we talked about food as medicine. You want to warm your body, nourish your body, focus on mitochondrial health. All those things help. I want to say, hey, thanks so much for tuning in here to the Dr.
