00:00:02.803 --> 00:00:04.227
Hello and welcome.
00:00:04.227 --> 00:00:08.853
To Keep Hope Alive, Boy, do I have a show for you today?
00:00:08.853 --> 00:00:18.746
I got Ms Mira Dessy with us and she is the guru of the ingredients, so I guess we're going to learn all about food on this show.
00:00:18.746 --> 00:00:21.576
She is an author and a public speaker.
00:00:21.576 --> 00:00:29.222
But before we dive into everything that Ms Mira does, I have a question to throw her off, of course.
00:00:29.222 --> 00:00:35.113
How many weddings have you been to in the past 15 years?
00:00:38.622 --> 00:00:49.904
Oh boy, that's not something I normally think about, but if I think back and think through them between family and friends, it's been seven weddings in 15 years.
00:00:50.924 --> 00:00:58.244
Oh, wow, that's a lot, seven weddings but they're all fun and beautiful and you remember something about each one of them.
00:00:58.244 --> 00:01:03.746
So my next question you're the guest going let's say it's at a church.
00:01:03.746 --> 00:01:13.453
You're walking into the ceremony site, but to the right of you is something there to sign to let the guests know that you were there.
00:01:13.453 --> 00:01:14.721
What are you signing?
00:01:16.465 --> 00:01:17.227
Oh, you know what?
00:01:17.227 --> 00:01:20.320
That's such an interesting question because they're so different.
00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.171
There's actually a few that were really fun and very different.
00:01:25.171 --> 00:01:31.510
One wedding that I went to, they had a set of Jenga blocks that everybody signed, so that was kind of cool.
00:01:31.510 --> 00:01:35.569
And then another one I'm not sure what they were doing with them, but they had paint chips.
00:01:35.569 --> 00:01:38.447
So you pick the color paint chip you wanted and then you wrote something on it.
00:01:38.447 --> 00:01:39.450
They were big paint chips.
00:01:39.450 --> 00:01:41.802
And then the third one was really fun.
00:01:41.802 --> 00:01:50.408
They had a big mat like a photo mat with cutouts for pictures, and then they wanted everybody to sign that.
00:01:50.408 --> 00:01:53.950
So I'm assuming they were going to put wedding pictures in it and then hang it on the wall.
00:01:53.950 --> 00:01:54.984
That was kind of cool too.
00:01:56.001 --> 00:01:57.388
That is amazing.
00:01:57.388 --> 00:01:58.786
I like those ideas.
00:01:58.786 --> 00:02:00.707
They're very cool and very different.
00:02:00.707 --> 00:02:09.004
One of our biggest sponsors here is lifeonrecordcom, and what they do inside of the guest book.
00:02:09.004 --> 00:02:18.437
They will have a vintage rotary phone there so when the guests come in they can pick up the phone and be like congratulations on your big day.
00:02:18.437 --> 00:02:25.133
Or maybe, as a groomsman picking it up, it's about time you put a ring on her finger and congrats to the both of you.
00:02:25.133 --> 00:02:36.354
But right next to that bone is a QR code so if the line were getting too long you can use your own mobile device scan it.
00:02:36.354 --> 00:02:38.729
You can leave that message before or after.
00:02:39.260 --> 00:02:41.389
I call it the gift of voice.
00:02:41.389 --> 00:02:43.489
You get to hear your friends and family.
00:02:43.489 --> 00:02:53.098
So after all these messages come through, they get burned on to either a 12-inch vinyl record or it's a keepsake little.
00:02:53.098 --> 00:02:53.400
I call it.
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:57.794
The boom box is a speaker, though, and it's just the funnest thing.
00:02:57.794 --> 00:02:59.721
So you get the phone number.
00:02:59.721 --> 00:03:03.008
You have to return the phone, but you get the phone number for one year.
00:03:03.008 --> 00:03:06.014
Their plans start at $99.
00:03:06.014 --> 00:03:08.164
But I always use wedding.
00:03:08.164 --> 00:03:12.717
This can be for anniversary, this can be for.
00:03:12.717 --> 00:03:15.282
I used it for my son's football team.
00:03:15.282 --> 00:03:19.171
One of the kids got hurt, broke his leg so everybody called in.
00:03:19.171 --> 00:03:23.207
I hope you get better and stuff, so it could be used in so many different ways.
00:03:23.207 --> 00:03:29.707
But to find out more about Life on Record, go to wwwlifeonrecordcom.
00:03:29.707 --> 00:03:36.382
All right, so everybody wants to know who is Mira Tessie.
00:03:36.782 --> 00:03:38.264
Well, thank you for asking.
00:03:38.264 --> 00:03:55.610
You know it's been a journey, but then I guess life is, and so I, I guess, at the very top I am a human female, wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, all kinds of things like that.
00:03:55.610 --> 00:04:00.663
And then, in terms of my professional life, I'm on my third career.
00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:14.329
I'm known as the ingredient guru, and I got to this point because a number of years ago I wound up getting very ill.
00:04:14.329 --> 00:04:16.615
My immune system essentially collapsed.
00:04:16.976 --> 00:04:29.290
I wound up being diagnosed with five different autoimmune disorders and at the time I was working as a database administrator for an international research firm and just having a really hard time.
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:30.634
I got weaker and weaker.
00:04:30.634 --> 00:04:35.088
I couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without having to lie down on the floor at the top.
00:04:35.088 --> 00:04:53.733
I couldn't raise my arms over my head without feeling like I was going to pass out, and I wound up leaving my job focusing on my health and along the way discovered that what I was eating had way more to do with how I was feeling than anybody was telling me.
00:04:53.733 --> 00:05:00.273
And yeah, and then I eventually went back to school, became a nutrition educator.
00:05:00.273 --> 00:05:21.930
I went into this to support myself and my own health and then wound up discovering this passion for helping other people, and I've been fortunate to help thousands of people over the years find real food solutions for health and wellness, and that is sort of what brought me here to talk with you today.
00:05:22.872 --> 00:05:23.413
Oh wow.
00:05:23.413 --> 00:05:26.470
So with immune system, I know that's hard.
00:05:26.470 --> 00:05:28.687
I've always been one.
00:05:28.687 --> 00:05:30.387
Well, it affects my immune.
00:05:30.387 --> 00:05:35.752
I had to get the gastric bypass and sleep and I have trouble eating certain foods.
00:05:35.752 --> 00:05:37.910
And you are what you eat, right?
00:05:37.910 --> 00:05:40.187
That's the most common line.
00:05:41.521 --> 00:05:44.459
But everybody is like, oh, just drink water, water.
00:05:44.459 --> 00:05:52.572
Well, I've never really liked water when I was younger, maybe it was brought up to me wrong gone, you have to have water.
00:05:52.572 --> 00:05:53.843
Well, why, who's you?
00:05:53.843 --> 00:05:56.809
Why are you trying to force water down me?
00:05:56.809 --> 00:06:01.244
And I just grew up being that way too, and I tried crystal light water.
00:06:01.244 --> 00:06:02.326
Yeah, it's good.
00:06:02.326 --> 00:06:05.372
You know, nadine don't have coffee.
00:06:05.372 --> 00:06:07.081
Well, why, there's water in it?
00:06:07.081 --> 00:06:11.995
You know I'm like don't have a glass of wine?
00:06:11.995 --> 00:06:15.062
Well, I think that's water juices in mix.
00:06:15.062 --> 00:06:18.990
I will come up with an excuse for anything.
00:06:18.990 --> 00:06:27.531
But the biggest thing is people will come up to you right and just be like why are you drinking a Coca-Cola?
00:06:27.531 --> 00:06:32.211
I go, do you like the numbers on the board of me making appointments?
00:06:32.211 --> 00:06:35.369
Yeah, they come from Coca-Cola.
00:06:35.369 --> 00:06:40.271
So now I'm doing a Coca-Cola pitch to one of the owners.
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:49.841
He's like okay, keep drinking Coca-Cola owners, it's like okay, keep drinking Coca-Cola.
00:06:49.841 --> 00:06:50.524
Well, and I will share that.
00:06:50.524 --> 00:06:51.324
I understand that people like Coke.
00:06:51.324 --> 00:06:53.249
The challenge is when we look at the ingredients.
00:06:53.249 --> 00:07:08.730
It's not great for us, and so that's where I do encourage people, if you're going to drink that, to also make sure that you're drinking other things that are hydrating and supportive for your body, and I get it.
00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:12.014
Plain water can be boring for so many people.
00:07:12.014 --> 00:07:20.882
I actually wrote a little ebook called hydration for a healthy life, because so many of my clients would say to me I don't want to drink just water, and it's.
00:07:20.882 --> 00:07:28.348
It's not just about water either, it's about hydrating foods, and tea can be a great choice.
00:07:28.348 --> 00:07:34.252
Or one of my favorite things to do is to use herbal teas to infuse into your water.
00:07:34.252 --> 00:07:35.432
That's really delicious.
00:07:35.432 --> 00:07:52.144
I also am a big fan of taking different flavoring combinations, like, if you get an infusion pitcher, it's got a core in it and then you stuff it full of things like watermelon and mint and let it sit there, and it flavors the water way better than just plain water.
00:07:53.105 --> 00:07:57.100
Oh wow, you see, I saw that like right by our house they're building.
00:07:57.100 --> 00:08:17.781
It looks like a Starbucks, but it's a tea place and I was thinking place and I was thinking maybe I should just go and try one day, because everything has been, let's go buy her for a coffee.
00:08:17.781 --> 00:08:18.783
Nobody really thinks tea anymore.
00:08:18.783 --> 00:08:20.848
I mean, I went to La Madeline for my one month follow up and we ended up La Madeline.
00:08:20.848 --> 00:08:24.726
I haven't been there in ages but I decided to get a cappuccino.
00:08:24.726 --> 00:08:30.932
I was just like cause I didn't know what to drink, or a sweet tea I could have done, who knows.
00:08:30.932 --> 00:08:34.447
But anyways, it's about being healthy.
00:08:35.089 --> 00:08:36.832
Yeah, I was sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt.
00:08:36.832 --> 00:08:40.684
The other thing that you can do, which is really fabulous.
00:08:40.684 --> 00:08:52.447
There are colas out there that don't have artificial colors, artificial sweeteners and caramel coloring in them, so that's kind of better for you.
00:08:52.447 --> 00:09:07.316
And then, if you really like the flavor of a particular brand of cola, there are organic drops that you can add to sparkling water, and it tastes just like your favorite soda beverage.
00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:11.090
You see, yeah, I always say something about Coke.
00:09:11.090 --> 00:09:15.629
When you pop the lid, that is the first part I like is the bubbles.
00:09:15.629 --> 00:09:22.092
It's like it has to be the bubbles and then it gets bland While people go, well, use the mini ones.
00:09:22.092 --> 00:09:24.650
I was like, okay, so I tried the mini and it was like not anything for me.
00:09:24.650 --> 00:09:27.304
I was like, okay, I tried the mini and it was not anything for me.
00:09:27.304 --> 00:09:29.150
I was like this is a waste of Coke.
00:09:29.150 --> 00:09:32.025
I need to go back to my bigger one.
00:09:32.025 --> 00:09:33.570
That's just me.
00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:46.589
It's funny because you look at a size of Coke like this and everybody would be like Nadine find these around the house, not fully drank, I know, because I just needed the bubbles.
00:09:48.841 --> 00:09:51.028
But yeah, it's so weird.
00:09:51.028 --> 00:09:59.230
I don't like that per se, and I notice if I'm working at my full-time job, I will definitely be the person who has a coffee.
00:09:59.230 --> 00:10:02.669
I'll take five to six sips, but no more.
00:10:02.669 --> 00:10:09.081
So I think that's just how my stomach was trained after my surgeries.
00:10:09.081 --> 00:10:21.349
And then there's times it surprises me and I'm like okay, I am going to drink this or eat this, because they eat less food and I'll be at Olive Garden.
00:10:21.349 --> 00:10:23.254
I go, I need my cheese raviolis.
00:10:23.254 --> 00:10:28.288
But I got them done and I was like, ooh, I want a cappuccino, and I didn't even drink the whole thing.
00:10:28.288 --> 00:10:30.783
So it was just those tiny little things.
00:10:32.285 --> 00:10:33.089
Very cool.
00:10:33.089 --> 00:10:56.155
Well, and you know, I think, given what you've gone through on your health journey, it sounds like you've really had to learn how to make different choices, and one of the choices that often goes along with that is adding more vegetables and more proteins to your diet, so that, in turn, leaves you feeling more nourished and, hopefully, more energetic.
00:10:57.018 --> 00:11:02.068
Yeah, I change it because my mom will tell you Nadine, a vegetable.
00:11:02.068 --> 00:11:08.873
You're right, I do like spinach, I do like broccoli heads Everything else is just out the door.
00:11:08.873 --> 00:11:15.812
But to get protein, I like the fruit smoothies, like strawberry banana with the protein powder.
00:11:15.812 --> 00:11:19.895
That's kind of how I get my proteins in there and have more energy.
00:11:19.895 --> 00:11:22.725
But that's just me, though.
00:11:22.725 --> 00:11:28.292
Okay, doctor, here you need to Nadine for a week.
00:11:28.292 --> 00:11:30.056
You're going to do this and this.
00:11:31.846 --> 00:11:35.547
Well, and it's a journey, it's a little bit at a time, like you make.
00:11:35.547 --> 00:11:39.397
You know, there's a very famous quote that says do the best you can.
00:11:39.397 --> 00:11:44.254
When you know better, do better, and that I think that applies to everything in life.
00:11:44.254 --> 00:11:50.985
It applies to health habits, it applies to things like sleep and food, it applies to relationships.
00:11:50.985 --> 00:11:54.154
It applies to all the different aspects of our life.
00:11:54.154 --> 00:11:55.928
It's a journey.
00:11:55.928 --> 00:11:58.076
It's not about you know.
00:11:58.076 --> 00:12:01.894
Okay, in 30 minutes I'm going to fix everything about myself and move forward.
00:12:01.894 --> 00:12:08.033
So we make little tiny changes a little bit at a time, and the more we know, the better we can do.
00:12:08.825 --> 00:12:13.092
Oh yeah, definitely, definitely so with doing this.
00:12:13.092 --> 00:12:17.153
I know you said you're an author and teaching.
00:12:17.153 --> 00:12:19.557
I guess do you do Zoom calls too?
00:12:21.427 --> 00:12:22.149
I do.
00:12:22.149 --> 00:12:23.711
I do, yeah, so I work.
00:12:23.711 --> 00:12:25.094
I work with people virtually.
00:12:25.094 --> 00:12:26.395
You know COVID.
00:12:26.395 --> 00:12:47.513
Like most people, most entrepreneurs found that COVID sort of had a huge hit on your business, and so I wound up leaving my office and shifting to a virtual office instead, and it's actually worked out really well because it allowed me to help more people instead of just the people in the area where I was.
00:12:47.513 --> 00:12:49.658
So that was a blessing in disguise.
00:12:49.658 --> 00:12:57.298
And then I do also speak at national conferences all over the country, which is always fun and really cool.
00:12:57.298 --> 00:13:06.114
I love doing that and being able to help so many people learn about different things, depending on what I'm talking about, whether it's health and wellness.
00:13:06.114 --> 00:13:26.269
I also now help people with preparedness as well, because I believe it's really important in the event of an emergency to make sure that you have what you want to eat and what you like in your pantry, so that you can feed yourself if the grocery store is closed or you can't get there because there's an emergency.
00:13:28.212 --> 00:13:39.812
Yeah, so I know I'm staying with my mom, but I can open her pantry and I'm like I ain't going to eat that I thought we were supposed to be sharing Where's my stuff, you know.
00:13:39.812 --> 00:13:42.513
But it just makes it harder.
00:13:42.513 --> 00:13:46.076
And I noticed okay, I'm starting to make a vision board.
00:13:46.076 --> 00:13:48.293
What is it that my body can take?
00:13:48.293 --> 00:13:52.034
What can I eat that doesn't make me feel sick?
00:13:52.034 --> 00:13:55.594
Am I more careful when I go out places to eat?
00:13:55.594 --> 00:14:05.495
Yes, so I've become, I guess guess, pickier with my eating skills, so I know what I can have more of and will fill me.
00:14:05.495 --> 00:14:10.407
If I eat something new, I may push it away if I don't like it.
00:14:11.187 --> 00:14:16.496
So, yeah, I was just, and that's where, sorry, go ahead no, no, no.
00:14:16.716 --> 00:14:18.320
It was kind of a disgusting thing.
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:26.865
I was at Walmart no, sorry, mcdonald's the other day and I opened my burger up and I noticed they made it too big.
00:14:26.865 --> 00:14:37.578
Usually it's a single like layer but the bun flipped off of it and a bug flew out and I'm like like there goes my whole lunch.
00:14:37.578 --> 00:14:39.181
I put it back in the bag.
00:14:39.181 --> 00:14:45.894
I was like I paid $8 for a bug in a hamburger.
00:14:46.375 --> 00:14:49.445
Oh no, that's terrible, that's, that's really not good.
00:14:50.687 --> 00:15:05.528
But you know, going back to the pantry thing, that's where having your preparedness pantry with things that are shelf stable, that you like to eat, because, for example, we were discussing, you know, right before we got started.
00:15:06.311 --> 00:15:28.413
I live near Houston and we recently had a huge hurricane, hurricane barrel, and it shut down the city for a couple of weeks like it was really bad, and then the grocery stores, the shelves, were empty for several days and even when they reopened there were still a lot of empty spaces on the shelves.
00:15:29.176 --> 00:15:40.144
If people didn't have what they wanted, it would be very, very difficult to be able to make a meal that you like, and in an emergency especially, you want that comfort.
00:15:40.144 --> 00:15:54.974
You want to be able to eat the things that make you happy, that make you feel good, and so if there are you know you mentioned that there's a protein powder that you like, maybe there's a greens powder that you use to get a little extra, you know, sneak in a little extra veggie.
00:15:54.974 --> 00:16:11.849
Maybe there's certain things that you like, certain soups that come in a can or certain other things like that, and so making sure that you have some of that on hand so that you're not going into your mom's pantry and going I don't really want to eat this, but I'm hungry, so I will like.
00:16:11.889 --> 00:16:13.432
That's not gonna make anybody happy.
00:16:13.432 --> 00:16:15.956
Make sure you have what you need on hand.
00:16:21.250 --> 00:16:29.687
Yeah, I don't want to do that one bit, so I do go to different places and help people.
00:16:29.687 --> 00:16:35.037
I guess would be the next thing, like being a public speaker and talking how to prepare yourself with the food wise and be safe and ready to go.
00:16:36.119 --> 00:16:36.659
I do.
00:16:36.659 --> 00:16:38.150
As a matter of fact, I have.
00:16:38.150 --> 00:16:47.155
It's called the Preparedness Pantry Masterclass and it's a whole program that teaches people how to build a pantry that has what they want in it.
00:16:47.155 --> 00:17:11.335
You know, one of the things that happens every time there's an emergency and we certainly saw this after Beryl happened again about a week later, the pallets of emergency food buckets show up and they claim to have, you know, 137 meals ready to go good for 25 years in the bucket, and I'm going to tell you that it's not stuff you want to eat.
00:17:11.394 --> 00:17:16.894
First of all, it takes a lot of water, and so if you water on hand, how are you going to rehydrate it?
00:17:16.894 --> 00:17:24.827
The other is and I've never eaten it because I just can't bring myself to spend $137 on something I already know I don't want to eat.
00:17:24.827 --> 00:17:37.176
But there was an article in the newspaper one of the major national newspapers not that long ago where a reporter actually bought one of the buckets and co-opted his friends to sit down and eat all this stuff with him.
00:17:37.176 --> 00:17:44.628
He was like this is not good, like this is really good, so it's better again to have a pantry that you like.
00:17:44.628 --> 00:17:50.833
So I teach people how to build a pantry because the way you eat is different than the way I eat, is different than the way my neighbor eats.
00:17:50.833 --> 00:17:53.247
You know, we all, we all want to have what we like.
00:17:54.569 --> 00:17:57.115
Exactly, and it's very, very important.
00:17:57.115 --> 00:18:02.760
Yeah, definitely, and I keep thinking about, as we're talking, my father and stepmom.
00:18:02.840 --> 00:18:10.587
They live in Oklahoma, so when the tornadoes are going through yeah, they should have the basement area stacked with food.
00:18:10.627 --> 00:18:11.913
That does do good.
00:18:11.913 --> 00:18:16.296
So, and I say basement, but it's more like a storm shelter.
00:18:16.296 --> 00:18:19.730
So, yeah, it's crazy out there.
00:18:19.730 --> 00:18:27.816
But yeah, I know dad would be packing cookies like crazy and if he could he would get IHOP and hide IHOP down there.
00:18:27.816 --> 00:18:31.726
Well, so then he.
00:18:31.786 --> 00:18:48.384
So, then what he needs to do is figure out what are the foods he likes, and does he need to put in some kind of a cooking station where he's got maybe a little griddle in a little pan and then have the ingredients to make pancakes or whatever?
00:18:48.384 --> 00:18:49.003
If that's what?
00:18:49.025 --> 00:18:49.424
he wanted.
00:18:49.424 --> 00:18:52.253
I'd be calling the waitress and the cook.
00:18:52.253 --> 00:18:54.632
Hey, can you come down to my basement?
00:18:54.632 --> 00:18:55.474
My dad don't cook.
00:18:56.405 --> 00:19:17.220
Sorry, dad, if you listen to this one, you just don't I know my stepmom would be laughing, that's so funny so but yeah, he uh, we get around with him as like we think that shawnee oklahoma, when he pat my dad passes, they would close down and it would be all catered by IHOP.
00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:23.087
But my dad is such a good guy, he's funny.
00:19:23.087 --> 00:19:38.500
When it comes to being Maybe that's where I get it is being picky on food, so what's good and what's not, and I remember my dad's mom she was probably the worst at it my dad would hide Oreo cookies from her.
00:19:39.445 --> 00:19:44.897
And I caught her on a ladder in the kitchen trying to find wherever my dad hid those cookies.
00:19:44.897 --> 00:19:53.705
But yeah, so the whole nutrition vibe for my house grown up that was out the door, yeah.
00:19:54.228 --> 00:19:56.894
And I think that's fairly common.
00:19:56.894 --> 00:20:10.875
You know it's called the standard American diet where we we eat foods like cookies or a lot of you know carby, simple, carby things and then hopefully over time we just learn how to shift.
00:20:10.875 --> 00:20:11.596
So that cause.
00:20:11.596 --> 00:20:14.631
The goal is to support ourselves long-term.
00:20:14.631 --> 00:20:17.478
You want to have a healthy aging process.
00:20:17.478 --> 00:20:26.611
I don't know about you, but I want to be a vibrant 80-year-old, not somebody who's dealing with a lot of health issues if I can help it.
00:20:26.611 --> 00:20:28.652
Yeah, to do the best I can.
00:20:31.368 --> 00:20:37.031
Yep, and you eat the right foods, but take care of yourself, and that comes through.
00:20:37.031 --> 00:20:48.498
Mentally, I'm learning to this day, and health is, of course, important, but if you have trauma in your life that you need to work on, take it one by one.
00:20:48.498 --> 00:20:53.090
This is why this hurt me and clear it out, and you start to feel better too.
00:20:53.586 --> 00:21:09.548
So, as I mentioned before, and I think this is a good time, I do have another sponsor called Snap Bands, and whoa, I tell everybody about my shots, and they messed up again and this is why.
00:21:09.888 --> 00:21:12.770
I use my Snap Bands, but they look like this.
00:21:12.770 --> 00:21:21.917
Mine says Hope and it has elastic on the back, so you just put your finger through it and gentle cling and it will send this sensation.
00:21:21.917 --> 00:21:25.134
But really quick, I'm going to tell you all about Snap Vans.
00:21:25.134 --> 00:21:33.224
We know the world is a stressful place for everyone with work, school relationship, health issues, finances and nightly news.
00:21:33.224 --> 00:21:35.894
There's anxiety every single day.
00:21:35.894 --> 00:21:47.913
Negative thoughts can keep popping into your head over and over again I'm not good enough, I'm not worthy of anyone loving me, bad things always happen to me.
00:21:47.913 --> 00:21:51.664
If you ever have these types of thoughts, you're not alone.
00:21:51.664 --> 00:21:56.730
More than 40 million Americans are diagnosed with this anxiety disorder.
00:21:56.730 --> 00:22:02.936
Anxieties, worries and fears can stop you from finding inner peace and achieving your true potential.
00:22:02.936 --> 00:22:06.280
You deserve to live your best life.
00:22:06.280 --> 00:22:21.912
Finally, there's an amazing new bracelet called Snap Bands, and it was invented to help you reduce anxiety, control OCD and calm stress.
00:22:21.912 --> 00:22:26.163
Snap bands are cognitive behavioral therapy tool based on proven brain neuroscience, and the way snap bands works is amazing.
00:22:26.163 --> 00:22:41.328
Snap bands bracelets look like a stylish piece of jewelry on your wrist, but its unique design actually hides a secret elastic band that sits right on your inner wrist, which is a pressure point to your brain's nervous system.
00:22:41.328 --> 00:22:47.989
When you get that elastic light tug, you feel a very gentle, soft vibration on your inner wrist.
00:22:47.989 --> 00:22:59.365
A gentle physical sensation is all you need to reduce anxiety, and here's why Did you know that the human brain can only deal with one emergency at a time?
00:22:59.365 --> 00:23:15.791
Well, whenever you feel unwanted negative thoughts in your head and gently snap the elastic on your inner wrist, it forces your brain to focus on the gentle physical sensation you feel, which instantly disrupts unwanted negative thought from your brain.
00:23:15.791 --> 00:23:20.940
This gives you the freedom to reset your mind and positive mental focus.
00:23:20.940 --> 00:23:26.458
The mantra word on your snap bands help keep refocus and reset.
00:23:26.458 --> 00:23:40.498

00:24:13.862 --> 00:24:19.116
We all know the terrible stigma in America that's associated with mental health.
00:24:19.116 --> 00:24:24.640
So with these bracelets they do come in a bunch of beautiful, different colors.
