 I don't know about you guys, but I do find it odd that in our oh-so-modern world, it's actually out of the ordinary when something isn't wrong with you. I think everyone has some type of dysfunctional family. The only difference is how dysfunctional that family is. I mean, the only time I've ever seen somewhat happy people is the Amish, and they abide by a lot of these principles in their natural way of living. They also don't watch the news and they ignore the government. Now you can correlate various studies to each of these aspects, but we're going to give it simple layman's explanations. When you look at the brain especially, it's heavily impacted by environment and diet in development through all stages of life. This could be the need for omega fatty acids as both a baby and adult. We tend to blame everything on genetics. Use it as a blanket cover for all of our issues. Just like they blame you know what for unemployment, small businesses closing, the reason we're locked inside, when it's obviously deeper than that, far more to the story. I've worked very hard on past videos for all of these topics, so I will list them at the end. But in the meantime, if you guys could please sign up at frank-defano.com to stay in touch with my daily videos through the newsletter. My personal experiences related to this are definitely the driving factor behind my YouTube channel. When I look back on you know the last 10, 15 years of my life, all of that kind of goes towards making sure other people can be happier and really get things out of life that they deserve. So these are in order of what I deem as important through my personal experience. You know if you're still having problems and you haven't addressed all of these things then it's hard to not relay back to these initial ideas. And I made a video that might be very similar to this, I think it was titled The Six Basics of Health and those really do apply to mental health especially. So first we need to eliminate Wi-Fi and EMF, reducing the environmental electric and magnetic fields including radio frequency which is basically Wi-Fi. The amount of oxidative stress ultimately damage caused by unnaturally high levels of radiation in our modern environments far exceeds the damage that can be caused by any other poor lifestyle factors. You could drink yourself half to death, eat only bread for two years, do all sorts of crazy stuff, a cigarette supermodel diet and that pales in comparison to something like sleeping with your head next to a cell phone as opposed to sleeping in a tent in the forest. Somewhere free from these unnatural, modern, high frequency fields. Basically keep your cell phone on airplane mode as much as possible, check on it throughout the day, turn off all devices at night including your cell phone and make sure you aren't sleeping next to a smart meter or circuit breaker. I've done some videos the past week explaining this in depth and the Amish don't use any of these devices. Ironically the past few farms that I visited had new towers set up right next door so these poor Amish are getting fried by their local officials. Next up we have our gut microbiome and I think there have been more and more studies and news articles even hitting mainstream revealing the importance of our gut and how we feel. But I experienced this first hand through my health problems from iron overload these past two years to an extreme extent. So when you have any sort of bacterial problem in your stomach ideally you want to remove the bad and replace it with the good. Unfortunately with some of the issues I was having I had to take a lot of antimicrobials like clove oil and think of those as almost antibiotics. I'm sure some of you have taken antibiotics and had very, very specific feelings when you took those. You're literally just killing your insides what's living inside you. I was feeling awful, not motivated, just really horrible. In contrast when I stopped taking antimicrobials and consuming probiotic foods like kefir the opposite happened. I felt happy, motivated, excited and we know tribes in the past indigenous people were always happy around their food and there were several statements about these people eating fermented foods with joy you know literally smiling when stuffing their faces with rotten meat because it made them feel happy. There's a physical process happening in your body when you're consuming that live bacteria and this is much easier said than done but I do have a video summarizing the gut microbiome and not to say you have to take those extremes to fix this you know heavy antimicrobial protocols reincorporating probiotics you know it might just be a matter of eating slightly better foods. Eating sometimes referred to as earthing you know being grounded and electricians people that work with those types of devices might be familiar with like a grounding plug or a grounding rod and that's so when something gets electrocuted it goes back to the earth because if it doesn't go back to the earth whoever touches it is getting zapped really bad very dangerous. And this is something I've seen other people subtly mention without explaining I remember that fake natty vegan bodybuilder Nimai Delgado you know walking on a beach talking about how good he felt grounded you know people even say being in touch with nature but these people never actually explain what they're physically doing or why they're doing it. The earth is full of electrons which act as antioxidants in the body when you aren't barefoot or in natural material contact with the earth like a Native American wearing moccasins you aren't receiving those electrons so most people are inside homes all day wearing rubber sold shoes when out and about if you go out in the woods you know even in your backyard and just touch a tree you will actually feel a surge of energy because that tree is connected deep into the ground with its roots and people are so used to being ungrounded and you can't really ground indoors it depends on your neighborhood because there's a lot of like unnatural kind of Wi-Fi interrupting that as well but if you go out to a park or hiking with natural shoes that's ideal you know barefoot on the beach if you're near the ocean and even in some cases sitting on the ground in your backyard I think I'll have some grounding devices available for you guys soon but you can check out the video I did I think a year or two ago now vitamin D and not just vitamin D we're also referring to any nutrient imbalance access or deficiency when people are deficient in vitamin D3 in particular they tend to be low energy depressed and upon taking it even as a supplement they are sprung to life it can be difficult in our modern world to get adequate sun you know hours and hours and hours per week something like an omega fatty acid or B vitamin deficiency also leads to certain behaviors vegans are a good instance you know start going psycho with memory problems you could also have like a copper zinc imbalance you know almost everyone in the general population has some sort of dietary imbalance some degrees of deficiencies and excesses those extremes can definitely cause certain mental states overall you have to be conscious of your past diet and make sure to improve it by consuming higher quality animal and plant foods in the correct ratios so lastly I didn't really want to put exercise because I know how can be really tough for some people to even get out of bed some days but it is important to mention that exercise will physically make you feel good by producing antioxidants and there are a few things kind of relevant to this that can also be done you know if you are in a certain stage of your life where you don't want to exercise the overall point is to have something you look forward to that makes you happy or driven every day you know we mentioned the Amish not watching the news you want to disassociate yourself with the negative as much as possible you know it could be a hobby even something as simple as exercise just make sure you enjoy doing it and if you don't enjoy doing it you know maybe try listening to a podcast or watching a movie or something you do enjoy at the same time and if you're really in a tough spot and you have to do something you despise it all day you don't have to be negative you know you could absolutely hate what you're doing but you could think hey let me you know force myself to be happy because I know at the end of the day I'm gonna get to lay down in bed and rest and relax and for me when I was younger this was kind of video games because I would just you know play video games all day you know literally 10 12 15 hours a day I should have I should have stuck with it because those Twitch streamers are doing a lot better than me now but that's a whole different story so just try to whatever you can do something to make yourself feel better even if you have to kind of like get in your own head and just force yourself to be happy put a smile on your face and you'll definitely start seeing improvements in all aspects of your life so hopefully this helps some of you guys out and a lot of the time you know it really is things people knew but just needed a little reminder of and then they can keep implementing them and being consistent so if you guys could please you know like the video drop a comment down below as I mentioned earlier definitely sign up for my newsletter on Frank dash defano.com and if you do want to check anything else out all of my businesses are also available on that website I guess thank you guys for joining me today videos as usual every day so I will see you guys tomorrow
