We Need To Talk About Bid Shopping & Peddling In Construction - Duration: 4:44.
What is bid shopping and bid peddling?
Hi my name is Chris Konkle, welcome to
my channel this channels all about helping you master construction so you
can be industry leaders! Today we're talking about bid shopping and bid
peddling, a practice that it is so widely condemned but is still a very common
practice. The traditional bid system in
construction is supposed to be a sacred thing where contractors submit prices to
the owners in hopes that those prices are going to be
kept in secret and not shared with other contractors. In the case of bid shopping
what happens is an owner rewards a contract to a general contractor who submitted a
bid and that general contractor takes that as an opportunity to make more
money and shop the prices of the subcontractors or suppliers. Bid peddling is just the
opposite. Bid peddling is when a subcontractor tells a general contractor
that they will give them a lower price than the subcontractor that they carried
during the bid submission. The side effects of bid shopping and bid
peddling are; for one it defeats the purpose of a competitive bid system
it promotes lower quality work, you're incentivizing cutting corners and you're
going to see more claims and change orders. You can see delays in the project
completion and it overall worsens the business environment. The results of a
recent survey 80% of respondents said that they knew somebody who was involved
in bid shopping or bid peddling and a whopping 32% of respondents admitted to
doing it. It is extremely frustrating as an estimator when you submit a bid and
you're promised to be carried by a general contractor and right after
award you find out that you did not get the job or they didn't carry you. How do
you know? How do you exactly know? Are you going to call up the owner and ask them for
the bid? The bid process is supposed to be sacred! An owner has an idea, needs a
building built. So the owner hires a designer and the designer puts together
the contract documents, the bid package, the drawings and specifications.
General contractors seek numbers from subcontractors outside of their own
scope of work and suppliers to put together the best possible number
to make a little bit of money, stay in business and get the job completed as
per drawings and specifications. I myself personally cannot understand how any
owner or general contractor could accept a bid based on the lowest price and
that's it especially when the price is $200,000 or
more different. The idea of having drawings and specifications and a bid
package is that all the contractors should be in the same ballpark and bid
as per those drawings of specifications. So what happens when some guy comes in with
a low-ball number? Well they either forgot something or they're planning on
substituting something out of those drawings and specifications without the
owner knowing. So right away red flags have to be raised when a
subcontractor submits a bid and even when a general contractor submits a
bid to the owners or the designers and it's extremely low. If it's a much lower price
than the other contractors there's obviously something has been missed or
they're planning to get you on claims and change orders in the end by delaying
the project and putting forth more changes and claims. Picking the lowest
bidder is not always the best way to go. I believe during bid time a good
estimator has to be in close contact with the designers and the general
contractors as a subcontractor as the general contractor same thing has to be
in close contact with the designers and engineers so they know exactly what
they're bidding and then the people who are accepting the bids know who
understands the scope of work and who doesn't. The best way to fight bid
shopping a bid peddling is to; One not do it and two is per owners to put a clause
in their contracts for general contractors to name all of the
subcontractors whose numbers they carried at bid time. If
any substitution is made a request has to be put in with the
owner and the designers but it has to have good reason or that subcontractors
consent. Even though it is widely condemned the practices remain quite
common and legal. So let me leave it with you. Let me ask you the question, "do you
think that bit shopping or bid peddling should be illegal? Do you think that it is
unethical or do you think that it's just business?" Let me know what you think down
the comments! Do you think that hard-working companies, the
companies that put the time into bidding as per drawings the specifications should be
penalized like this? Let me know what you think down the comments! If you're new

Arnold Schwarzenegger | You Will Never Look At Life The Same (Motivational Speech For 2019) - Duration: 9:21.
this is the blueprint for my life I
couldn't see myself becoming a farmer or a worker in a factory or anything like
that I felt that that was born for something special for something unique
for something big you have to be brave you have to be tough you have to have
the discipline to follow so way back when I started training I visualized
what my body should look like to be the best in the world
enormous positive attitudes or my life men whatever I wanted I knew I wanted
for a reason because whatever I started I could see as a finished product there
was never one negative impulse in the last 15 years
you can you imagine you have to a doubt that you maybe don't make it maybe I
will be a Miss Universe that's the historical saying you got to have faith
in your vision
and here's the one the judges find most pleasing Arnold Schwarzenegger of Santa
Monica California born 29 years ago in the Austrian Alps the son of a local
police chief he spent his boyhood at skiing
boxing great lifting soccer a lifetime athlete
is putting on the way to becoming a millionaire my parents wanted me to have
a normal life Sparta beggars vision paid off in titles
five times mr. universe six times mr. Olympia receive if you
don't have a vision of where you're going if you don't have a goal where you
go you drift around and you never end up anywhere it's like you can have the best
ship in the world you can have the best airplane in the world if the pilot or
the cab the way to go he would just drift around
he will not end up anywhere almost like in a home base in ten been enhanced his
vision in front of me all the time then could go a student
the kind ofin mind as a sculptor has because his fault has to do the same
thing here's the book of his odd to say well it's some other proportion I have
to take a little bit away he oh I have to put one here to make it get in the
proportion and the saying the bodybuilder has to do with his body you
have to have tunnel vision and you got to have blinders on and not to see
anything than this on the left and on the right side and just really focus
keep your eye on the ball you have to focus on the thing that you really want
to be the best at and that's what I did because you cannot be good in everything
and you cannot do everything and at the same time feel champion in one thing
there is no such thing so I decided I want to be a champion I decided that I
wanted to go all-out my picture being said in one of his interviews when they
said you are unbelievably the greatest basketball player of all times I mean
tell me about that they says well you're just mentioned as successes but he says
for me to become the greatest basketball player I missed
a thousand shots when I was playing basketball the NBA games so during this
games that he was so successful he missed 9000 shots does it make him a
failure no he is one of the greatest Costco players of all times but he
failed 9,000 times to get it we all fail we all have lost us this is OK and this
is why I say don't be worried about losing because when you afraid of losing
then you get frozen it's ok to fail let's just go all out and give it
everything that you've got that's what it is all about so don't be afraid to
fail it is very important that you don't listen to the naysayers because in every
step of the way when you make decisions like I want to be a bodybuilding
champion of the world people say this is impossible decision Americans point the
seminar when I went in they wanted to be in the
movies to say if an accent it's never gonna happen that we never became a
leading man when you have an accent you have a huge party weigh 250 pounds he
was like a monster imagine you go from studio executives the studio executive
from agent agent for managers manager and they all said exactly the same thing
but that's very encouraging isn't it but you know something I didn't give a shit
I believed that I can be a leading man I believe that there could be another TV
smooth one of the Burt Reynolds or another Warren Beatty or whatever those
characters for Charles Bronson and so on I believe that it could be those people
I said there's enough room on that ladder that I can fit up there and I
look back again and learn from what I learned in sports in my case in
bodybuilding it's all about the hard work that I put in a cinema safe in
bodybuilding of girls out five six hours a day I'm gonna do the same thing now
for and of course I went to college to study
English acting classes and all this stuff all day long I work and I work in
the world even in politics whether they ran for governor says are you crazy you
an actor you're businessman I mean it's you know
the politician you should start to be a mayor first and maybe a Assemblyman or
senator but not to be run for governor so I never listen to the naysayers
because I believed what the Nelson Mandela said that everything is always
impossible until someone does it work your ass off
there is no magic bill there is no magic out there you cannot
get around you have to work and work and work I can tell you in order to be
complete and that's where you really have a 100% chance at being successful
when you have a complete situation that means that you have developed your body
leading your health your strength your energy and all that makes you much more
positive right because that's when you wake up when you feel strong and you
feel fit did you write the bicycle in the morning you know the whole world
looks much more bright so that the training of the body extremely important
the training of the mind extremely important this why I say to people I say
you got to educate yourself you can't delete something every day
you got to learn a new language you got to just always improve and look at what
can you do to improve your business or your life in general so dude it will
develop the mind and then you develop the spiritual side in the sword
extremely important also so if we put those three things together we have
total completion and it's very important to understand that we function better
if there is no safety net because Plan B becomes a safety net it says that if I
fail then fr and I get picked up and I have something else there that was they
would protect me and that's not good because people perform better when there
is no safety net people perform better in sports and everything else if you
don't have a plan B I've never ever had a plan B I say I made a full commitment
that I'm gonna go and be a party building champion I made a full
commitment that I'm gonna be in America I made a full commitment that I'm gonna
get in the show business and I'm going to be a leading man no matter what it
takes I will do the work I would do the work over and over and over and Dilla
get it in the same was in politics and everything like that so to me it is very
dangerous to have a plan B because you're cutting yourself off from the
chance of really succeeding and the reason one of the main reasons why
people want to have a plan B is because they are worried about failing
what is if I fail then I don't have anything else well let me tell you
something don't be afraid of failing because there's nothing wrong with
failing you have to fail in order to climb that ladder
you

The Worst Hairdresser Ever. This Woman Had It Coming. - Duration: 3:32.
A woman who was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her
husband mentioned the trip to the hairdresser.
"Rome?
Why would anyone want to go there? asked the hairdresser.
"It's crowded and dirty.
You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," she replied.
"We got a great rate!"
"Continental?"
exclaimed the hairdresser."
That's a terrible airline.
Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late.
So, where are you staying in Rome ?" "We'll be at this exclusive little place
over on the Tiber River called Teste."
"Don't go any further.
I know that place.
Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser.
"You and a million other people trying to see him.
He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours.
You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman came in for another hair do.
The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's
brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class.
The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited
on me hand and foot."
"And the hotel was great!
They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, one of the finest
hotels in the city.
They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra
charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't
get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican , a Swiss Guard tapped
me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and
if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet
me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand!
I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.."
"Oh, really!
What'd he say?"
He asked me, "Who screwed up your hair?
Share this if it made you laugh

Chronic gut infections, healing endometriosis & raising Secretory IgA - Duration: 31:08.
Hello. Hello.
Hey everyone. Kendra here.
Welcome to your live monthly q and a. I absolutely love doing these.
I love answering your questions. I know that every week we go through so
many different things. We discuss a lot of content,
a lot of things that you probably haven't heard about before.
So I really love doing these monthly Q&A's.
Just so I make sure that, I'm getting your questions answered and
I'm helping make things clear that maybe weren't so clear,
when I discussed them in my videos, so super stoked to be here.
And, I have about five questions that were
submitted. So we're going to be going through
those. And then if you're on with me live,
you can of course ask me any questions in the comments box.
Hopefully I can see the comments this time because I know the last couple
times I've actually been having a little bit of trouble seeing your comments.
Hey Rebecca, I can see Rebecca's comments.
So that is a good sign. Yeah,
you guys, if you want to ask me questions in the
comments box, definitely go for it.
I am happy to answer them, and I'm happy to bring you the most
cutting edge advice I can give you when it comes to functional testing,
hormones, energy,
and gut health, because those are my three jams.
The three things I love the most.
So, let's jump into it.
Let's jump into your questions. So first question is,
'Can you suggest, how to increase Secretory IgA?'
Okay. So for those of you who have no idea
what Secretary IgA is, I also want to refer to this as Sig-A,
that's sort of the short form for this, but Sig-A is basically your body's
primary immunoglobulin. So this is your big first line of
defense in your immune system, in the gut.
So Sig-A is what responds and built anybody's towards things that,
you don't want in your gut. Okay.
So a lot of people, through testing actually discover that
they have low SIg-A or low Secretary IgA,
very common. And how you raise it,
you know, isn't just as simple as take this to
raise it. You really have to ask the question,
well, why is it low to begin with?
Because that's not normal. If it's low,
you have to ask the question, well,
what's making it low? Typically what I see really depress the
immune system and depress Secretary IgA, is gut infections.
Okay, that's one of the pieces.
So in order to raise it, what I've seen have the best effect on
raising, say Sig-A is actually eliminating the
infections that are present. And of course in order to address
infections you have to run a really good test to determine which infections are
actually there. And you've probably heard me talk about
this before, but a lot of tests,
a lot of stool tests on the marker, on the market,
are not great for identifying GI infections or they're just really
notorious for missing infections. So a traditional stool test,
this is called a comprehensive stool analysis.
A Microscopic test. Typically you'd go to your doctor and
ask for gut test or a parasite test. Typically it's going to be this type of
test that they give you, so microscopy,
or a comprehensive stool analysis, basically refers to the type of
technology that is used to identify various infections.
So what you're going to have is you have a lab techs do you have a human,
they are looking at the stool in a petri dish and looking through a microscope
and looking well what grows after 24 hours.
So it's called a stool culture. So they're trying to culture it and try
to make it grow and they're single. What actually grows after 24 hours?
So if there is a positive, if they find something that grows,
it is 100 percent positive. There is no false positive.
If it grows and they see it, it's there.
But there can be a lot of false negatives because this type of
technology actually requires, organisms to be alive because they need
to grow. So they need to be alive and they need
to be present in large enough amounts that they're able to reproduce and grow.
Okay? So this is problematic.
If you have infections that are anaerobic,
so they don't actually do well in oxygen,
they like environments that are free of oxygen which exist in the large
intestine, but once they leave the body and they
get exposed to oxygen, a lot of times they actually break down
to integrate and die, so those are not going to be found in a
culture or a comprehensive stool analysis because they don't have the
ability to grow because they're dead, or that thing is just,
you know, it's there,
but maybe it's an such tiny amounts that there's not enough of it to actually
reproduce. So that's sort of the disadvantage of
that type of test is yes. If it finds something,
it's 100 percent there, but there's a good chance that it's
actually going to miss things all together.
Okay.
So you know, if you've done that type of testing and
you're like, well,
nothing came up. It's not really 100 percent that it's
that your gut is completely clean. Okay.
So the tests that I recommend, I love the GI-MAP from Diagnostic
Solutions Lab. Basically,
this is a PCR DNA test, so it takes out the human component.
There's no Labtech, there's no one looking through a
microscope. All there is,
is a machine that is identifying the microspots,
microscopic DNA of these various organisms.
So that doesn't, that means that these things don't need
to be alive. They can be dead and they could still be
found, they can be present in a single DNA
strand and they will be found. So it's a much more sensitive test.
But of course that being said, there is no perfect test.
We have to remember that the body's very complex and we're basically getting a
snapshot of a moving target. So if you're looking at a stool sample,
your body needs to be excluding it to find it.
And there can be things that just don't get shed regularly in the stool.
Maybe because they're there in smaller amounts,
they're hiding or you know, they're just not getting shed on that
particular day that you're taking the test.
So, you know,
there's downfalls, there's drawbacks to every test,
but the first thing you're going to do to raise your immune system or your
Secretary IgA, you're Sig-A is to address the
infections and you do that with a good tests like the GI-MAP and trying to find
the infections that actually might be present.
Okay.
So that's really important. The other thing you need to do is you
need to address toxicity. So heavy metals,
chemical exposure, this,
these things will depress the immune system.
They will inhibit the immune system. In a lot of cases they can actually
promote a friendly environment for, for organisms to grow.
So sometimes why you have organisms is because you know,
you have too much or too little of a mineral that makes more of a favorable,
a favorable environment for these sorts of infections.
And then the other thing is that sometimes your body actually allows
infections to grow because you have metals because there's a protective
mechanism. So there's been a lot of research on
this in fish populations were fish have these parasites and these parasites
actually concentrate metals and toxins into their cell walls so that their
toxicity within that parasite cell is significantly higher than what's
actually in the fish or the host.
So, there's a lot of people who believe
there is a protective mechanism going on.
I believe this to be true because I see so many chronic infections were like you
just can't get rid of them until you get rid of the metals.
And actually the last episode of High on Energy TV,
I actually talked about this connection between metals and chronic infection.
So you need to adjust the metals, you need to address the chemicals you
need to identify the infections. Once you address these things,
I do tend to see Sig-A go up. Some things that you can do to support
your immune system. Maybe you can't afford testing or,
you know, you can't find a practitioner to work
with, although you could always work with me.
You can take something like colostrum. I find colostrum has a really nice
support, nourishing effect for the immune system.
The other thing is Saccharomyces Boulardii,
which is a beneficial strain of yeast, which actually has a great supportive
effect for SIg-A and the immune system. So I would recommend those two
supplements to start and then I would recommend doing some testing with me,
look into gut testing, metal testing,
hair mineral analysis to address those deeper root cause of the low Sig-A
because if it's low, it either means you don't have the
building blocks to support a healthy immune system because your mineral
deficient, or you have metals that are interfering
with a healthy immune system or you have bacteria,
parasites, yeast,
viruses, worms,
things that are overwhelming, the immune system.
Okay. So I hope that answers your question.
For those of you who are joining me live.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
Let me know that you're here. Say Hi in the comments and if you have
questions for me, you can literally ask me anything in
relation to health or anything. I will answer them while we're on live
right now. And so we do these live Q&A's at the
last Tuesday of every month. So for those of you on YouTube,
for those of you on the Podcast, you can join me on my Facebook page,
K Perry Nutrition every Tuesday at 4:30 PM if you want to join me live.
And then the last Tuesday of every month at 4:30
PM Pacific. That is when we do this live monthly
Q&A. Okay.
So next question. So regarding the GI-MAP,
'Can I ask what prescription drugs were used for the nasty parasites?
I've done Paromomycin, Doxycyclin.
Another one I can't produce for Blasto, but I also have Crypto and some other
bugs.' So.
Okay. So I'm,
first thing, this is my disclaimer.
I'm not a medical professional. I'm unlicensed.
I'm not a doctor, legally,
I can't give you advice about prescription drugs or antibiotics.
What I can tell you is with the exception of one parasite,
I never use antibiotics or prescriptions.
Okay? The reason for this,
again, this is just my own experience.
This is not me giving you advice or telling you what to do,
but if you take antibiotics for an infection,
you may get rid of the infection, but you fuck up the landscape,
the landscape of the gut, okay?
Because antibiotics are going to mess with that delicate balance.
So getting rid of the infection may not have much benefit if the result or the
consequence is that you decimate your bacteria,
you totally mess with your immune system by killing off those beneficial flora
that antibiotics will kill, because antibiotics are non
discriminant, right?
They're not just going for the parasite, they're going for everything.
So they taking the antibiotics might help you get rid of the Blasto,
but it actually makes you more likely to get Blasto back or a whole host of other
infections in the feature.
Blasto It was a really hard infection to get rid of.
It is the nastiest of the parasite. I call it the parasite lottery because
it's a pain in the butt to get rid of, and it goes systemic.
It doesn't say, 'Hey Michelle,'
it doesn't hang out in the GI tract. So it has the potential to cause a whole
host of issues. Cryptosporidium not a huge infection,
not a hard infection to get rid of, typically will respond to one round of
treatment, but I like herbals because they are much
easier on the digestive system and they don't have the consequence of totally
wrecking your healthy microflora. Okay.
And I talked a lot about this in the previous High on Energy episode.
So definitely if you're on Facebook you can go into my videos and see that
episode or if you're listening on the podcast,
it's just the previous episode. 'Hey,
Karla.' Karla is my good friend and I'm glad
she's here. And because you have to address the
reason why you have the infection to begin with.
And like a lot of things, I do believe that infections are just
another symptom. I believe there is symptom of mineral
imbalances and toxicity, especially metals.
We're getting exposed to so much crap these days.
So many toxins, metals,
chemicals, glyphosate,
and there's certain cases. And again,
I talked about this in the last episode, where your body is actually has sort of
a symbiotic relationship going on with the parasite because the parasite is
protecting you from the metals because it has the ability to concentrate toxins
and metals in the cell wall. So instead of you becoming totally auto
toxic and getting really sick or even dying from all this metal exposure,
your body actually is allowing that parasite or yeast to grow or bacteria
because it has a protective mechanism going on.
So I don't think, again,
I'm not a doctor, I'm not telling you what to do.
You should listen to your doctor. I don't like the antibiotic prescription
approach for infections because you just create a whole host of new infections.
Okay? So I never recommend those.
There's only one infection on the entire GI-MAP that is the Entamoeba Histolytica
doesn't tend to respond to herbals, is a very dangerous parasite.
That is the only one where I would refer someone out to a doctor.
It's a very rare infection. I've only seen it twice.
One of those times was myself because I've had a lot of nasty parasites.
Okay.
Okay. So second half of this question is,
'Do you use anything stronger than interface plus for Biofilm?
Because it doesn't seem to work for me anymore.
I'm retesting in January and tempted to book in with you next year.
I'm still having issues but I don't do well on herbals.
They tend to make the bugs grow. Haven't tried the Amazon herbs is yet
though.' So it depends.
There's a bunch of different things that you can do to address Biofilm.
So for those of you who are wondering, well,
what the fuck is Biofilm? Basically you can think of it like Saran
wrap, like clear plastic wrap.
It's like this polysaccharide which is carbohydrate.
It's like this thin blue, like sticky film.
All organisms create it. Plaque on your teeth is a biofilm a,
but all organisms create it. There's good and bad biofilms,
but you know, in terms of the pathogenic material,
they actually use it as a physical barrier.
So they hide behind it. And there is a stat that I read that,
bacteria that are hiding under a biofilm can resist antibiotics after 2000 times
versus bacteria that aren't hiding behind biofilm.
So if that blows your mind, let me know in the comments,
say, 'Whoa,'
let me know. Because that's crazy.
It's honestly crazy and I think this is a big reason why antibiotics don't work,
or why people continue to have chronic infections because they have a lot of
this biofilm. And if that's not creepy enough,
biofilm can also act as a communication network among these pathogens.
So they use it to communicate with each other,
help them adapt. It's all very creepy,
but when you disrupt the biofilms, so certain things will do this,
but when you disrupt it, not only are you releasing these
infections, these organisms,
but you also releasing a lot of other crap that can be tied up in biofilm like
metals, chemicals,
glyphosate, toxins,
all kinds of shit can be in there. So taking,
a biofilm disruptor. Yeah,
Karla says, 'Sneaky little bacteria.'
They are sneaky. They're super creepy too.
And so that's the, I think a lot of people have issues with
the biofilm. So are the Biofilm disruptors,
'Klaire labs interfase phase plus' is typically what I use.
I don't use it longterm, does have EDTA in it which can bind to
some of your minerals. So that one I usually use more short
term. Biocidin is a herbal concoction that
will disrupt bios, biofilm.
So will Acetylcysteine, or NAC.
You can do that in 600 milligrams, three times a day on an empty stomach.
That is a really great biofilm disruptor.
I also use from integrative therapeutics,
I use Biozyme, which are just proteolytic enzymes.
So you, again,
you want to take those on an empty stomach.
So a lot of biofilm disruptors are just carbohydrates specific enzymes because
of that biofilm is actually made up of carbohydrates.
So any pathogen protocol, if you're doing any parasite,
yeast, bacteria protocol,
you need to have a biofilm disruptor, because if you don't,
it may not work. Okay.
And this is also a big reason why we see a lot of new infections on retest is
because it can take a shitload of time to actually break down the biofilm.
That can be a really long process so it can take time to kind of,
immobilize these infections, and have them start to come out in the
stool on something like the GI-MAP. Okay.
So I would try those, those recommendations,
those products that I recommended. I do recommend that you book in with me.
I don't take many one on one clients anymore,
but I do have a membership program where you can join for a really low price
point and you can actually purchase the protocol for you GI-MAP test and I'll
actually go over it and design a customized protocol either be or one of
my highly trained practitioners for you, because I just find that the GI-MAP,
and perspectives on gut testing and pathogen removal,
to be kind of messed up. I see a lot of practitioners doing it
wrong. I see a lot of people suffering.
And if you're not addressing the minerals and the metals,
you're gonna end up with chronic infections because a lot of,
like I mentioned, again,
the previous episode has a lot more information on this.
Sometimes your body is allowing these things to grow for a reason and so will,
you trying to kill them and that's all you're doing.
You might just be addressing a symptom and you actually might be making
yourself sicker because you may be eliminating the very protective
mechanism that your body has put in place to protect you from toxicity.
Okay. So really good question.
I kind of went off on a tangent as always,
but I hope that helps.
So there's nine of you guys on with me live today.
That's makes me very excited. If you guys have questions.
Oh, 11 now.
if you guys have questions, hop on,
ask me in the comments or just say, 'Hey,'
let me know you're here. Give me a heart.
Give me a like, because otherwise you're just a number
next to an eyeball. That's all I can see.
I can't see who's here. So let me know you're here.
Okay.
Okay. So next question,
and I really liked this question. So,
'I've had previous symptoms that look like endometriosis and I've had quite
severe irritable bowel syndrome earlier this year.
I'm on Progestin only pills and I've been increasing my probiotic intake in
natural foods, Kombucha,
Kiefer, lots of fresh fruit and vegetables.
My IBS symptoms are almost gone. That's awesome.
And I'm pretty sure my pelvic pain symptoms are gone to.
I'm just hoping they'll stay gone. If I come off my pills,
I'm hoping to come off the pills eventually.
Do you know of any tips for managing endometriosis and irritable bowel
symptoms through diet and natural health?
I, I'd prefer to try and manage naturally
rather than be on the pills forever. Do you know someone who's done this and
how they've managed so.' Okay.
If you actually want to legitimately reverse and get rid of endometriosis and
irritable bowel syndrome, you got to get off the pill.
Again, I'm not a doctor,
I'm not telling you to do this. I'm just saying what I've seen in my
experience. This is what I would do.
So this is the issue with the pill, even though it's Progestin only,
it is going to cause mineral deficiency. It will make you vitamin C,
magnesium, selenium,
zinc deficient, it will mess with your gut flora.
It will cause things like IBS symptoms, and it suppresses your natural hormone
production. You're basically taking steroids,
which is kinda crazy because if I said, 'Hey,
do you want to take some fucking steroids and get jacked?'
You'd think I was crazy. But that's basically what the pill is.
You're taking steroids. Okay,
so you can't balance your hormones or get rid of something like endometriosis
or IBS while you're on the pill. It's a really,
really nasty drug. So if you want to actually see success
with that, I do.
I'm not going to say I recommend getting off,
but if it was me I would be getting off of that.
Okay.
So in terms of, you know,
you're doing a lot of the right things, you know,
you're using diet, you're using fresh,
whole foods to manage this and it sounds like it's improved a lot.
So, you know,
I want to congratulate you. This is a huge win.
That's awesome. Not a lot of people are willing to do
that. I think diet wise,
I mean, I always recommend a Paleo template,
Paleo, removes grains.
It removes dairy, it removes sugars,
it removes beans and legumes. A lot of things that can be irritating
to the gut. I don't think you necessarily need to be
on this diet longterm, but it's great to use as a template,
at least as elimination diet. Maybe you can use it for three to six
months and then start to reintroduce some of these foods.
In terms of endometriosis. What this means is that your body
doesn't metabolize your estrogen very well,
or you have synthetic synthetic estrogens coming into the body which are
raising your estrogen. So plastics,
plastics are huge sources of synthetic estrogens,
cookware, teflon,
like, look at your cookware.
You should only be using high quality stainless steel or titanium,
clay, glass,
really high quality ceramic. I'm really look at what you're cooking
with. Ditch your slow cooker because there can
be a lot of synthetic estrogens in the ceiling,
ceiling, the varnish,
I don't know that like plastic material that's over your ceramic pot.
I actually have a clay. I have a clay,
a slow cooker, or you can do something like an instant
pot, which is,
is stainless steel. Okay.
Look at personal care products. There's synthetic estrogens in a lot of,
chemical, personal care,
beauty care products, cleaning products,
checkout the EWG.org. This is the environmental working group.
They have a top 10 list for all of these products.
Use something safe and nontoxic. This is a really good place to start.
The other connection is the gut. So there is a connection between your
IBS and endometriosis. Typically,
endometriosis means you have bad gut bacteria,
so you need to address the gut. But what I found to be the biggest thing
that relates to endometriosis is iodine. So there's probably an iodine
deficiency. Iodine actually makes it impossible for
you to metabolize your estrogen properly.
So if you have endometriosis or on a Dutch test,
you have high 16 OH metabolites. I know you need iodine.
So I would recommend an iodine protocol, but you want to be doing this with an
iodine literate practitioner. I can help you with this if you joined
my High on Energy membership where I help support you and bring you the most
cutting edge functional medicine recommendations that I can give you,
that will be in the show notes, but you need to get on iodine.
So, in the meantime,
while you're, you know,
if you're not working with me, you can do something like Kelp capsules.
I like Nature's Way. Those are the only ones I personally
tested and I know to be free from chemicals and toxins.
You can do Kelp really great way to address iodine,
seaweed, that sort of thing.
Just make sure it's organic or from a good source.
But I would recommend high dose iodine therapy,
but please don't do this on your own. You can make your situation much worse
if you don't do this properly. So please let me be your mentor or find
someone who is an iodine literate practitioner who can be your mentor and
who can help you with this. Okay.
But again, people who want to eliminate
endometriosis or any hormonal issue can't be on the pill.
Okay. Because it fucks with your hormones and
you can't fight against that. Okay.
I hope that helps.
Okay. So Danielle.
'Hey, Danielle.'
Danielle is on a lot of my live videos and she has a question and she says,
'Ah, my question.'
So I think that was her question. That's great.
'Thank you.' She says,
'I found herbals wiped out a lot of my bacteria.'
Yeah. 'Especially when done for months.
Yes, I love NAC.
What Diet did you use when addressing infections?'
So, yeah,
so I just go with a typical Paleo Diet. I don't believe in a low carb diet.
It will not help you with yeast. Infections are very opportunistic.
They are very adaptive and if you deprive them of one macronutrients,
they will just turn around and eat the other.
There's a lot of research that shows that Candida or other forms of yeast can
thrive on Ketones, which is an extreme which you will
produce if you're on an extreme low carb diet.
I don't really think diet has a huge effect.
I think it just needs to be a natural, whole foods,
healthy diets that is free of crap. Okay,
so that's why I like Paleo. I think you can introduce some grains,
some dairy, beans and legumes in the future.
But if your gut is really unhealthy, we want to go with a diet that really
lowers phytic, act,
phytic, phytic,
access, acid and lectins.
So these actually bind with minerals and move them out of the body and the body
can't stay healthy if it doesn't have good mineral balance.
So we want to be eliminating the foods that can actually make you more mineral
deficient, which is why I love Paleo is a template.
In my High on Energy membership. I call this the High on Energy diet.
It's just basically a modified Paleo diet that gives a little bit more room
for some of those foods that are typically not allowed,
but that you might be able to tolerate because I believe in inclusive diets and
not exclusive once. Okay.
Okay. 'So which lab do you use for mineral
testing? How much does it cost for the test?
I may book in.' So,
so I use Trace Elements. I only recommend for mineral testing,
Analytical Research Lab or Trace Elements because they don't wash their
hair sample and most labs like Doctor's Data,
a lot of the other ones I've seen on the market,
they actually wash their hair sample which is going to mess with sodium,
potassium, and zinc levels.
So I only trust those two labs. I don't currently do kind of À la Carte
lab testing with clients. You can book in with me and what am I
comprehensive programs where we do run that test with other tests.
You do have to apply. I only take on a very limited amount of
one on one clients, but in my membership program in the High
on Energy membership, which is a very low monthly cost,
you can get that test for $200. On top of your monthly membership and
then within that membership you get a group support for me.
You get a facebook forum. So you can get all the support,
but basically when you order the test, either myself or one of my personally
trained practitioners, we create the protocol for you which we
give to you in a document for you to follow.
And then if you have questions you can ask me in the facebook group or in one
of the group coaching calls that we do monthly and we do at least three
sometimes we do four. So pretty high value.
I do recommend doing that. Because right now I'm not taking on many
one on one clients anymore and I don't anticipate taking on many more in the
future. And there's probably going to be a time
pretty soon where I'm not taking on any anymore.
And I'm only working with people in the group program.
Okay. Hope that answers your question,
Danielle. I'm really happy to see you here.
You're always tuning in and I really appreciate that.
Okay.
Okay. So last question.
And again, if you guys are on with me live,
there's still a few of you on. Thank you for sticking with me.
Definitely ask me in the comments. I'm happy to answer.
So, 'Hi there.
I just got my GI-MAP results back and I have a smidge of staphylococcus species
point four,
it should be and is less than one and staphylococcus Orris,
which is point five, which it should be less than five.
I know these are insignificant on the chart,
but what do they mean?' Okay,
so these fall into the additional overgrowth bacteria.
So these bacterial infections are not common for your body to have,
but they should be below detectable level,
which on the GI-MAP you see that with the little,
kind of sideways triangle like larger than or smaller than,
and then the dl, which just means below detectable level.
So yes, the lab has ranges for all these
infections, but from a functional standpoint,
we want to see everything below detectable level like,
because just because the lab isn't flagged as high doesn't mean it couldn't
become high in the future and doesn't mean that if you were to test tomorrow
that it wouldn't be high, right?
Snapshot of a moving target. Remember that.
So these are overgrowth bacteria, typically what these mean,
like these will overgrow when they can, when they have the opportunity
opportunity to. That's why they're called additional
overgrowth, opportunistic bacteria,
right? And so typically what it means is that
you have either a deficiency in some of your friendly Microflora.
You may or may not see that on the GI-MAP and it may mean that you have
other infections. I address anything that pops up even if
it's not getting flagged as high. So those all fall into the anti
bacterial a section or kind of categories you'd want to do an anti
bacteria. I'm a big fan of high dose garlic,
something like lmx pro or [inaudible]. those are my favorite things for
bacteria protocols. They tend to work really well.
Okay. So,
I hope that answers your question. Again,
I address everything, even if it's not getting flagged as high
because you just don't want to give it the opportunity to become high.
Okay.
So that's all the questions that I had submitted.
If you guys who are on with me right now live,
if you have any last minute questions, I am happy to answer them.
If you liked this video, make sure to give you a like,
give me a heart, share it,
if you're into that. That sort of thing makes a big
difference on Facebook, and helps me get in front of more
people, which means I can help more people,
which is really important to me, and hopefully is important to you to,
if you're on the Podcast, definitely subscribe to this podcast or
what you can do is you can actually take a screenshot of you listening to my
podcast, share it to your instagram stories and
tag me @KPerryNutrition and I will share it to my stories.
If you guys want to work with me again, my High on Energy membership,
group membership program, is the best way to do this.
I bring you cutting edge functional health strategies to help you get well,
to help you reverse chronic fatigue, to help you get out of burnout,
feel better overall and get your life back.
And we do this with lots of group coaching calls and access to functional
testing, like the hair mineral analysis,
like the GI-MAP, which you can purchase in the membership
as an upgrade. Currently,
this is one of the only ways to work with me unless you go through my more
comprehensive a coaching programs, but I take very limited clients.
You have to apply. Right now I'm not taking anyone until
February and usually I only take on one a month or one every two months.
Okay guys, thanks so much for listening to me,
and joining me today. Again,
every week we do this on Facebook live, a 4:30
PM on Tuesdays. Today it's on a Thursday because Tuesday
was Christmas, so I postponed it.
Next week, Tuesday is the 1st.
So I will not be doing the call that day,
but I will be postponing it to Wednesday,
I believe at 4:30. I will definitely be letting you know in
the Facebook feed and if you're listening to the Podcast,
we post this as a podcast every Thursday.
So thank you so much. I love you guys.
I hope this was helpful and I'll see you guys in the next High on Energy TV
episode. Bye.
