Emotional well-being plays a crucial role in overall health, including cancer prevention. Stress, anger, and unresolved emotional trauma can significantly impact the body, contributing to illness and dysfunction. Taking steps to address mental and emotional health through therapy, coaching, or self-reflection can help create a more balanced state and improve resilience against disease.

Focusing on physical health, such as maintaining hormonal balance, reducing alcohol consumption, and incorporating antioxidants, is essential. However, prioritizing emotional wellness is often overlooked despite its profound influence on the body. By addressing emotional challenges and improving mental clarity, individuals can enhance their quality of life and support long-term health.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:00:04] Little extinction. Do not. Radio interview about basically cancer and alcohol is when we talk about cancer prevention, there’s a couple of things we can do about it. And I think that a lot of people have talked about this for a long time. You know, we can look at the biochemical function of, okay, we’re looking at flavonoid issues. We’re looking at antioxidants and free radicals. You react to lots of stress. These type of things are obviously a big piece of, you know, things that create cancer. And we talk all the time. It’s like about, you know, hormonal function, exercise and lymphatic stuff, all those sort of things. And I think we’ve we’ve covered a lot of that stuff really, really well. And we’ll continue to cover two questions about it. One of the things I want to make sure that we talk about, because I do not think it’s talked about nearly enough, is our emotional state. One of the things I’ll tell you that creates a lot of the problems health wise for all of us is our emotional state. You know, we talk about it with breast cancer, you know, pretty easy to be like, I totally understand how estrogen hormones and progesterone hormones can, you know, radically increase the instances and the, you know, the problems with, you know, cancer.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:01:15] Women grow faster with, you know, really hard to fix. And so your estrogen progressions definitely if it weren’t for breast cancer, in fact, you know, I don’t think I’ve ever had a breast cancer patient who’s had breast cancer, whose doctors didn’t put them on Tamoxifen or Anastrozole or whatever to remove their estrogen functionality to zero. You know, that’s one of the main things people do. So, you know, we understand that. But I want you to to to recognize you don’t really feel estrogen. You don’t you can’t see excess estrogen in people. You can see anger, hate, love, fear. You can see those things like people are such powerful, you know, regulators of our entire system that if someone’s scared, you can see it. Like if someone’s in love, you can see it because it’s it’s the way it feels, the way the body moves. It’s the way their eyes light up. It’s the way everything in the body is now pushed into this state of being. Right. So, like, anger isn’t a thing. You just feel it’s something that type takes over your whole body. Right. Like, you can see pictures of people’s faces. You can be like, that person is angry. That person’s happy. That person’s sad, right? You can see these things.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:02:29] So if we we want to understand that if we’re going to recognize that the hormones that are in our body that we can’t really see are having a tremendous amount of effect on our body, we have to recognize that the hormones that are released, the chemicals that are released, you know, when we are angry, happy, sad, the things that take over our entire being are also obviously a giant part of how our body functions and thus can create dysfunction. So, you know, easiest way to explain this is you take anybody who’s in love, right? And they’re they’re just in love and they will do the dumbest things. And you look at them, you’re like, what are you doing? Why did you say that? Why did you act that way now? Like, I don’t know. I’m in love, right? And so it obviously messes with your brain and the way you do things. So I think the evidence that our emotions dictate run and have a giant play in our entire body is more than evidence. I don’t think that anybody can really argue that. But we don’t talk about how that would then obviously cause dysfunction. So, you know, the easiest way to to bridge that gap again, weigh the evidence down, is what are the people who get ulcers, you know, stomach ulcers, you know, the amount of people who have very high stress, who also get stomach ulcers is pretty correlated, right? You’re not going to find a whole lot of people who have bad stomach ulcers who also don’t have bad psychological stress.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:04:00] So, you know, just another way of trying to put any sense together. So one of the things we’re going to have to recognize, if we will recognize that, yes, emotional function does play a role in our illnesses, our health and our cancer and things like that. Then we’re also going to have to recognize that we need to start working on, you know, this is what we talked about. We talk about psychological health. We talk about, you know, religion or spiritual health. And this is why I talk about how it’s so important to get mental site health and mental coaching you. Yeah, for everybody and everywhere because we all have things to kick us in the teeth. You know, it’s funny cause I’m working with four. Remember with forces. I just figured like for cancer, people will last like 3 or 4 nights. And each one of them, I said, you know, well, I’ve got, you know, here’s my hormone labs, here’s my toxicity labs, here’s my it’s labs. This is not like grids and like, we’re going to put this all together and like, can you think of in the past 5 to 10 years some massive emotional or psychological stress, all that? And they’re like, absolutely. They’re like one of the guys I talked to who has a wife. Cancer came from my marriage straight up. He’s like, I know where it from. And somebody else was like, Well, my dad died and it created this giant problem because of, you know, this person and the X and the other my family members and this and that. And my dad is my best friend.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:05:21] And, you know, we had to deal with all these things. And it was just a massive for like two years. It’s just a stressful, emotionally traumatic point in my life. And then, you know, a couple of years after that, we find out I have cancer. I’m like, okay. Like, this is what we see every time. Like, I don’t think I’ve ever saw it. Well, that’s not true. We’re starting to see a lot of people who have cancer whose stress isn’t that bad, who got Covid vaccines. So that’s a chemical trauma. But a lot of people who just got it without chemical or biological traumas, the trauma we see is emotional. So, you know, there’s that is a big, big piece. And so if you don’t have somebody that you’re actively working with on that, you need to get someone who you can work on actively with. I work with a bunch of people on this, and it’s always funny because like I have I have a buddy of mine who’s a really good therapist and when he found out I was doing it is like he asked the question. He was like, Do you really think you’re qualified to do it? And I was like, I’m 100% more qualified than the people that a lot of people are having. You’re using What are you talking about? Like a lot of people are having no one do it. And so, yeah, find someone, you know. And I think that the coaches stuff, you know, you know, with all the end up training I’ve had all the coaches I’ve worked with, all the people I’ve worked with, I can tell you that the for a lot of people.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:06:43] A lot of beauty therapy and a lot of healing ether. They have that bipolar issue, that borderline personality disorder. They have generalized anxiety disorder. They have a real disorder that that is problematic that they need to work on. However, there’s a lot more people out there who don’t have a diagnosable significant psychological pathology. They’re not only broken, but they’re not they don’t have a specific thing. And it’s like, okay, what do you do? Well, I’m not I don’t have a mental illness. I’m not seeing a mental illness therapist. I’m not seeing them. That’s a specialist because I don’t have a mental illness. Cool. You got life, you got stress, you got all those things, you’d find somebody to discuss that with, you know? And you know, if it’s a therapist, fantastic. If it’s psych psychologists, Correct. I don’t know why anybody who doesn’t have an actual issue would see a psychiatrist, a psychiatrist just to get drugs for these things. But psychologist, therapist, counselor, that’s something great. Coach is also a great place to go. You know, someone who can walk you through it. It’s funny because a lot of the people that I work with. Just haven’t been asked the questions like especially, kids are super fine, like the 20 year olds are super fine because they’re hungry and you’re like, Hey, where do you want to go in life? Yeah, I don’t know. Well, let’s walk down that route. Let’s figure out where it is you actually enjoy, where you want to go.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:08:04] You know, people come in and they’re like, My wife’s horrible. I’m like, All right. And this is the hardest part. What role do you play in that? Because guess what? At the end of the day, the person you’re going to change the most when you start going through therapy or coaching or whatever is you. You’re the only person who can fix you. That’s it. And so, you know, finding these emotional issues, figuring out why do we have them and then going through and fixing the program that creates them is really, really important. So, you know, we can talk about you making sure you’re drinking enough water and you’re exercising lymphatic drainage and, you know, all the different biochemical things that we know cause cancer. Dropping the alcohol, you know, making sure you shift back in the parasympathetic state all the time. It’s for neurologic function, you know, getting in the antioxidants to push back against the chemical processed foods that are causing cancer for women. We have a lot of stuff ad nauseum, and we should. But the thing that I don’t see a lot of in you know, we’re talking about, you know, when you look on Instagram or you’re, you know, talking all these things is, you know, we don’t see a whole lot of people talking about how if you don’t want to get sick, whether it’s cancer or whatever, you need to start working on your mental, emotional state.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:09:17] And that is, I think, one of the things that we really need to start focusing on is because the better we can understand ourselves, the more work we do to ask ourselves which cells, the better we are that are society is. So I would highly recommend that you get with something, find it in like I’m a big enough fan and I like as the guy who wakes up and you know, I look forward to the, you know, the three times a week I get to watch Jordan Peterson’s your Peterson University and, you know, the stuff on Nietzsche or Keith Campbell stuff or I get to watch lectures on psychology. You know, I don’t run on race in that field. But the more I learn, the more I realize, you know, the NLP function, the way we do this is really, really, really critical. So you’re finding, you know, peacock like if you guys if I do that, my wife does it, you know, you can find it online. Nathan and Christie are great at it. They’re the ones teaching us. So, you know, it’s one of those things that getting a mental piece of this emotional piece of this dealt with is probably one of the most under underrated and under-discussed Qi hacks. If you want to go that way for making yourself healthier and making your life just a whole other. Are you watching what you want to watch? The number one thing you can do for quality of life? Change your position, Change the way you think about the world. You know, change. Change your viewpoints on who you are, where you’re going and what’s going on.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:10:42] And that is that is the greatest thing you can do for your health and for your supported life. Yeah, but I don’t think you are talking about this as much as I should. So seek those things out. You know, if you guys, you know, don’t have a therapist, you know, maybe go to a therapist, you know, if you guys know there’s an issue, you know, definitely going to a therapist, you have the you don’t think you have an issue, but you want to kind of get better. There’s, you know, find a mental health coach, try to find, you know, you know, see these life coaches like I’ve I’ve interviewed some of these people. You know, I do this a lot. You know, it is a fantastic thing. And if you’re if a lot of these health coaches, I you know, so when we find an issue, we punt it to somebody who treats that fair, you know, and I find out that somebody has a significant mental thing. We put that to whoever’s best at it, right? So like, I’ll be talking to somebody and they’ll still be really dealing with a rape. And I’ll. I’ll, I’ll hey, I will. Hey, we can talk about this as much as you want to. However, I have somebody who who’s been doing professional work with women who’ve been raped, you know, for 20 years. You know, I think it would be beneficial for you to at least have a consult with her. And so, you know, we can go over there. So that’s where a lot of this whole fiction goes. So if you guys are not doing something with someone else for this, I would hundred percent think that you should you should give in to that.

Dr. Matt Chalmers [00:12:04] We’re going to ask you questions tomorrow. Person if you want to talk about the small and I’ll throw some small and high threat stuff out. We do. We do. Actually. I’m sorry. This is from answering a question. We do actually help people grow. We’ve done this for a little bit. That’s pretty cool, guy. I’ve got a 17 year old now that has grown between a third of an inch and a half an inch and four months. And as long as the growth plates are closed, you can you can use peptides or things like that to get a little bit taller. So if you guys have kiddos who are having issues growing, that is a great thing for them. Now we’re on that real quick. I would recommend is if for instance, they’re 13 and they they’re not growing very much. Look at the parents and grandparents on both sides. Like when did they have their growth spurts? Because I was having this conversation with parents yesterday, we were like, yeah, everybody kind of grew when they were 17, 18. Like, Well, that’s what happened on Thursday. Like give them give you the chance to grow into it. But you can actually make kids taller with growth hormone, further growth.
