It's time for the adventure So pipe Man, I'll keeby four.

0:52 See why I com list Poon Beach's number one internet radio station. Here's your host, the pipe Many. Oh. Here we are Wednesday, the Adventures pipe Man right here on W four c Y Radio. And I'm very excited this week because A we had a cool show that we had to cover last weekend. B I'm leaving early tomorrow morning to go on the Pipe Man radio tour, but most importantly because of our guest today, because she is, in my opinion, an absolute badass that I'm in awe of. But we'll talk about that in a second. Uh. First, I want to bring on our pipe nuts. So let's bring from Louisiana in the Bayous the Rebel Meddler.

1:42 What's up, rebel? Everybody? So, Rebel, did you do any lynchings over the weekend? Should I have? I don't know my behind. I saw a way your last tiktoks by the way, and that whatever whatever filter you were using, that filter made you look just like the voiceovers you did. So if that's what you were going for, it was perfect. Wait what filter was that? I don't I don't recall that one. I like to play at the filter sometimes on TikTok just because they're there.

2:25 Well, that's what they're there for. Speaking of filter, Speaking of filters, let's bring one on because he's the one that's going to keep you in line. He's he's our show filter for you. There you go, okay, and look at this? Uh look, look, rebel, are you looking at the screen? You have a fan talking to you? Will you please pay attention to show you guys? Well, if I could see the screen, that's where you had the look. I thank you? All right?

3:06 So one, what do you have to tell us about your shenanigans over the weekend. You know, my life is pretty boring, is always on. There were no Shenanigans, just lots of rest, lots of family time. I enjoyed it, Rebel, What is wrong with this younger generation nowadays? They all act like they're eighty and we act like we're twenty. I mean, seriously, My youngest daughter, my youngest story, she's even proud of the fact that her style is like a grandma, and she definitely is. She's like a total like go to bed at eight o'clock, nine o'clock, stay home.

3:48 You know. I think it's because this new younger generation they did way more partying as teenagers as us, that they burnt themselves out a lot quicker. That's what I think happened. Oh, I don't know about all of that, so not much stuff I did when I was a teenager. Oh, it's nothing compared to what they do today. It's ridiculous actually that we're gonna have to do another show about that, because I'm telling you right now, these kids today, they consume things in their mouth. They don't even think about it, Like at least you thought about it for a second before you put poison in your mouth or in your lungs or you can think about it.

4:29 It's like now they're calling it a challenge and they go on social media and do it just for them, just to go viral. Yeah, and let's let me ask you a question, Rybel, did you ever eat a tide pod? Proof? There's my proof. But that's my proof. We didn't need tide pods, but this generation does. Okay, so listen, they have no lines. Okay, so we're gonna focus on our generation instead because I have a phenomenal guest today and I love what she's all about, and so pipe Man's gonna be a little under reps today. It's going to be more like Dean because pipe Man's not allowed to do the women empowerment stuff only Dean. So, but she is. I am in awe of her because she is a champion in so many ways. But she our guests. She went from because of MS, basically being in a wheelchair to at sixty years old, being a weightlifting champion.

5:43 Wow. Okay, So now, Rebel, anytime you give me excuses in the future of why you can't do your job, I'm going to use this as the example of why there are no excuses. YEA given excuses. So I also want to believe that sometimes when I have guessed and I don't want butchered her name, I'll research other interviews and not for the interview, only for one part of the interview at the beginning, to make sure I pronounce it properly. So and so if I pronounce her name wrong right now, it's because every other interview I checked out, this is how it was pronounced.

6:31 And you know, you know, I like to be funny about nobody wants to mess up a name and you never know, Like, how do you know how I want my name sound. I may you may say Dean, but I may identify as Dean. Dean. No, not that that won't be me. But anyway, let's bring her on the show. Stop to Shenangans get a little serious, but not too seriou. But really she is so empowering that I think everybody watching and listening, male or female, is gonna like get an aha moment. So let's welcome to his show him right here.

7:17 Either that was perfect, That's exactly how my name is pronounced. Look at that, see good research. I want to apologize for Rebel right away, because if my story is going to get waved in your face every time you want to, you know, not do something for Dean in the future. I'm totally you know, not the reason. I don't want to be that. Oh thank you, thank you, Okay, but you are inspiring to everybody. Just a little bit that I know about you. I can't wait to learn more. Yeah, let's go all the way to the beginning. So, Kim, what's your story.

7:58 Well, I was a journalist. I had three kids, and we were like foreign correspondents, my husband and I. So we were traveling all the time, moving every four years, dragging the three kids along. And it was when we were in Berlin and I was for once not working as a freelancer because he got the jobs and the assignments, and I was the freelancer, a sort of following along, you know, the wife. And for once I had a job too, and I thought, wow, this is amazing. I've made it. I have a good career, three kids, great family. You know, you can really have it all. And then when I was picking up my kids from school one day, I realized that I was seeing double. I mean, this is so hard to describe, but you know, the car is parked in the street there were two of.

8:45 Them, and I knew something was wrong. You know, you can sort of if. You have a bit of a back ache, you go to bed and think it's going to be gone tomorrow. You see double you know there's something going on in the brain. So went to hospital and was to spend six weeks there. They were looking for what was happening. After three weeks, I was paralyzed from the hips downwards. I couldn't wiggle a toe. My kids were pretty small, and I was out from one day to the next. And those were really dark days actually, because they didn't really know what I had, because my symptoms were all over the place. You know, they have all kinds of syndromes. They were pretty certainly it was autoimmune, but you know, for one syndrome you have the eyes, and the other syndrome you have the paralysis. And because I had it all over the place, they didn't know what to call this.

9:35 And you find yourself at some point thinking, please give me a diagnosis, Please say it's herpes, Please say it's this. But you know you're wanting it to be something. And they gave me all kinds of treatments, all kinds of shots, and infusions and one of them must have worked because I got better. I got the feeling in my legs back, and after six weeks I could leave the hospital. That was just a day before Christmas. I was in a wheelchair, and that was the very first that sort of big lesson. You know, I had been out of it from one day to the next. It was Christmas. There was a tree, there were presents, there was food. Everything we had been prepared, and I hadn't done any of it. So all the women out there who think that the world's going to come to an end when they don't do everything, it's not true.

10:27 The world keeps on turning. And I think if you look at it in the right way, it's liberating because you don't have to do everything. You can take a break sometimes and maybe if you take a break on time, yeah, you don't have something as drastic happened. Two year as I had I got more treatment, I learned to walk again. I felt better. I was told that this was one of it's called a Gillen Barrie called, you know, named after two French doctors who discovered it was one of it wouldn't come back happy. I was given a second short at life and I was not going to mess that up and talk about a year. Then I felt my left hand going numb, and I knew from the sensation that something was wrong. And this time they said it was an attack of the immune system on the white matter in the nerves and that this was MS, and I thought that was like a really low blow after what I had been through, and I had to accept lifelong treatment, even though I fought with the doctor, which he was not used to, you know, someone talking back, someone asking questions.

11:34 He was just writing this prescription, wanted to send me on my way, and is that hang on? Can we talk about this? And I asked him so many questions. I didn't want the lifelong treatment because. I was losing my power again. I had been like a thing in the hospital. I could even go to the toilet by myself. I didn't want to give my power away again, but I had to accept this, so I asked him I could exercise, because yes, my left hand is to this day, but I could walk, and after my experience in the hospital, I was very grateful for being able to walk and move. And I said, can I exercise? And he said, yeah, you want to be careful, you. Know, which doesn't mean anything. It just means that I'm a doctor.

12:18 I don't really know about exercise, so I'm not going to say anything, but I'm going to try and scare you just a little bit so you don't do anything crazy. And to this day, I'm very glad that I didn't listen to him. I went to the gym and I had this weird desire, this very strong desire. I just wanted to become insanely strong. I think it was probably because I wanted to get control back over my body, which. Had betrayed me just a little bit. And a nurse I talked to who showed me how to inject myself. She told me exercise is good for a mess. It makes you fatigue resistance. So I just went for it and I started lifting heavy shit.

13:00 I like how you put that, And so one of my questions is when you went back to a doctor after living and lifting heavy shit for a while, did he kind of go back and say, I've been lifting this heavy shit and it's been helping me. I never got the chance. You know why, you didn't remember? We were moving. We were moving all the time. So my first illness was in Germany. This diagnosis was in France, and then when I got like really strong and fit and better with every checkup, we were in Spain. And I'm very grateful for this because my Spanish neurologists, after watching me for three years, like the checkups took like two minutes, as you know, you walk back and forth and have this thing with the eyes where you follow his finger with the eyes.

13:51 And he said, well, you're fine, you can go. And after three years you said, how do you feel about stopping the treatment? How do I feel about yourself? Hell, yes, I want to stop them And that's like seven years ago and I haven't had a treatment or a relap since. Wow, And I don't know. I attribute it to two things. One the weightlifting, the strength be the mindset. And you now coach women that are you know, round our stages.

14:36 Not one you know, he's one of those you know, goes to bed at eight o'clock kind of okay generation, But seriously, though, you help women that are at are our stages of life to realize that you can basically do whatever you put your mind to it. So let's tell people a little bit about that. Yes, I'm not claiming that you can cure ms with strength training. But what you're saying about the training and the mindset, that's absolutely exactly to the point spot on. What most people don't realize is that the training helps you improve the mindset. It is so beneficial for mental health.

15:21 It's so hard to describe that. It works so fast. You walk out of the gym and you feel better, You're confident, you carry yourself differently, like literally, and I think it gave me so much confidence and optimism that it was like, you know, helping each other along the physical and the mental. And it's something that I we love these ideas of mind over matter, Right, we have this mindset and we're so strong and we believe something and then we get it done. I think there's also a lot of merit in matter over mind. So you do things and you create the mind said by doing it, by going it to the gym and lifting, you become the person who lifts the other way around.

16:06 It is much harder. I think if you wait for this epiphany or for this thing to wash over you, like motivation descending upon you from the heavens, you can be sitting forever by doing small things all every day that's how you change, and that's what I do with the women I work with. We start with fifteen minutes a day strength training in the comfort of your home, so there's no resistance, no obstacles. You don't have to drive, you don't even have to get changed. You can do it in your pajamas. You can do something right away. You do the small things. You do that daily, and most of them after two weeks say something like, oh my god, I have. So much energy. I feel so much better, so much stronger.

16:50 You know, you know, I got to tell you that one thing I liked about what you said there. People tend to when they haven't done any kind of ex exercise fitness activity in a while, they tend to overdo it in one day and then they're done. You have to start off slow. I've been guilty of it myself as well. We all are, because we just want to go straight from A to Z. But you gotta go through all the letters in between for sure, and you know what you're talking about. Like Tony Robbins always talks about motion creates emotion, and Jim Rohan, his mentor, used to say, you know, people don't understand what the power of the positive mind is and positive thinking. It's not sitting there. And he used to say this, it's not sitting there and saying, you know, there's no weeds in my garden and just sitting there and saying there are no weeds. There are no weeds. He says, the weeds will eat your garden. Okay, you have to get down on your hands and knees and pull those weeds. That's the power of positive thinking. The action. It's not just saying it. I think that's a big fallacy that people think a lot of times, is, Oh, you just say these things in your mind. No, you have to take action.

18:15 You can't just say it. But they both feed off of each other to your point, you know, it goes both ways, and they feed off of each other. And when you actually do something, it does give you that sense of accomplishment. It does give you that sense of confidence, you know. And everybody also does have certain things that make them feel a certain way, and I say they should go for it, because if it makes you feel better, that's all that matters. Too many people nowadays are concerned what everybody else thinks, especially with social media the internet.

18:55 You know what, at the end of the day. The only person you should care about what they think is you when you look in the mirror. And I think that's something that you help people, especially women in our stage life, to do. Am I right, absolutely? And there's another thing to what you mentioned, you know about sitting there thinking, you know, the weeds in my garden are going to go away. Very often when we're not doing what we think we should be doing, or when we're feeling out of sorts, or when we're feeling inadequate, or you know, we say you've gained a few pounds and you think, oh my god. We tend to think there's something wrong with us, with our character. We have no discipline, we have no self control, and somehow we want to wait for this thing to happen where one morning we wake up and we say, oh, I'm going to do it today because today I'm in the mood or whatever it is, and I'd see all those things.

19:54 And that's why I always start small with my clients, with small actions. I think most of these things are skills. So it's not to do with you being a bad person or a lazy person or an undisciplined person. Is especially in our day and age where we have to fight for a right to move and we have to defend ourselves against the onslaught of twenty four to seven food opportunities. It's skills, it skills that we haven't learned. It's not easy. It's not easy to not eat everything that's thrown at you because our brain is still like, you know, like a Neanderthal and things, Oh fool, we need that.

20:34 So I think it's chocolate. Well, it depends. Everybody's got their their special points. That's mine. Yeah. And if when you view it as a skill, I think that is so liberating because it's not about your character, it's not about your value of virtue as a person. It's just about learning something small that you can do today that will make you feel better and will make you feel great. I think it's it. Takes so much weight and shame and guild out of the whole equation. It's just a small thing I need to learn. I do it today, I do it again tomorrow, and then I get better and better. And that's how I evolve, and that's how I become the captain of my ship and don't feel like I'm tossed around by moods and weird feelings of inadequacy and not being good enough.

21:25 I'll also add to that. You know, basically there's a lot of mental illness right now and there's a lot of people that are a depressed and think about it, that two years of lockdown that causes that. Because being active doing things like you are coaching people and teaching people to do are they create It creates endorphins that makes you feel good. That's why when you walk out of the gym, you feel great. It's what you said, the accomplishment of feeling good about it. But it's also chemical that putting your body in motion like that will create the endorphins and the emotion of a positive, euphoric feeling.

22:13 We don't need big pharma for a euphoric feeling. We need ourselves and our own. Bodies absolutely and you even create neural circuits when you train. And what I always try to I always try to explain it like this, when you train in the gym or I know, you don't have to be in the gym, you could be at home and train with the weight of your own body, but what are you doing. You're overcoming resistance right like the bar Bellet's on the floor. It doesn't want to go up because of gravity, is that you have to lift it up. You have to overcome that resistance. And I think your brain creates those pathways and you have, like literally in your bones and in your fiber the experience that you can over come resistance.

23:01 And I think that carries over into other parts of your life because you will not just be like, oh my god, things are not going my way? What am I going to do? You would have like this instinctive memory. Okay, this is not going my way. What can I do to sort of change that? What can I do next? And that's also one. Of the benefits you when you lift, you know that resistance doesn't have to stop you. M so one, speaking from the younger generation, what are your thoughts about what Kim is saying and what do you do specifically to get active or make yourself feel better and all that good stuff and stay healthy well.

23:47 Other than obviously having a healthy like food lifestyle type thing and going to bed at a reasonable hour to get it my full eight hours of sleep, you know, in the morning, cycles in the gym before coming to work, so you know, I'm lifting, I'm doing cardio, I'm doing all these other things. So I'm pretty good at that, you know, keeping up with my I guess, like my fitness goals nice, so you know, like I've always been good at that. But I do like the idea of like the mind is a powerful tool because like, if you think about it, right, there's a reason why the plasceive way effect is so effective.

24:28 M Right. They give you something that you think is going to make you better, you feel better, but they gave you nothing. Like they just gave you the idea of getting better. It works the other way too, Like I have so many times in my life seeing people like create a panic attack or create anxiety. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And I think that's what people don't understand. It's that sometimes you either create it or make it worse. Or the things we do that the worry, the worrying about everything, you know. My one of my biggest things is people spend so much time worrying about things that may or may not ever happen, you know. And I mean funny, going back to my daughter, I'm going to tell a story about her for a second. And by the way, Kim, the introduction where they're talking about this is an adult show, and blah blah blah. That was my daughter doing the voice over, the one that never heard me curse till she heard me on the air, so she she's the one doing my disclaimer that I might curse.

25:42 Amazing, so beautiful. But we did have a scenario one time as a perfect example, because my kids get annoyed with me about when I talk about worry. Okay, And and we we were playing on a softball team together and I had coached her for me years and then she became an adult. So I'm like, come on, we'll go on the same team. And one night after the game, you know, when you're on a softball team, the whole team goes to a restaurant to go have dinner and drinks and what have you after the game. So we left her car over at the field and we took my car, like instead of taking separate cars. She was kind of hesitant of leaving her car there. I'm like, don't worry about it.

26:30 But then when we're at the restaurant, it just pops in her head of nowhere, Oh my god, we have to leave because they're going to lock my car in and we're I'm not gonna be able to get it, and it's going to be stuck there all night. And she just goes into that spiral. As you can imagine. There's more to it, and it's just and I just said to her, I'm like, well, if it's locked up right now, going there is not going to change that. Okay. Second of all, don't worry about We'll figure something out. I'm sure there'll be a solution. And at the end of the day, I don't think your car is going to be locked up. You're worrying about something that you don't even know happened, you know. And I'm like, don't worry about no, blah blah blah blah, No, no, no, no, no, And I was like, I'm telling you either way, it doesn't matter. Just enjoy yourself, because what's gonna end up happens.

27:33 We'll leave, we'll both be upset, we'll get back there, your car will be fine, you'll drive away and you'll go home and we'll have missed out on this time. And so begrudgingly she stayed, but you know, was worrying the whole time. And what happened after dinner we got back there, the gate was opened. She got in her car and she drove home. Yeah, worrying about stuff that hasn't even happened. I think it's a perfect recipe for being unhappy. I also think because you know, every emotion has like a chemical effect in your body, and I think some people are kind of worried junkies because it creates adrenaline, it creates cortisol, and once you get used to a certain level of those in your blood, when you don't feel them, you think something is missing, or maybe you get worried because you think, oh, if I'm not worried, maybe I'm sort of being oblivious and dangerous lurking somewhere and I'm not worried enough I'm and you become like really a worried junkie and need that level of those chemicals in your in your body to feel normal, just normal, And I think it keeps you from enjoying life, and it also impairs your judgment.

28:52 I'm pretty certain, absolutely so, Kim, how do people get a hold of you, connect with you? Give them all your details of every way they can reach out to you and what kind of things that you can offer for them. Yeah, so you can go to my website which is Kim Rahre dot com, so it's just my name with dot com And the first thing that you can do on there is take a free health and strength assessment. It's about what you said before. You know, we want to go from A to Z when we have some mileage in our joints. We're not like twenty anymore and we want to start training and working out.

29:34 We need to know where we are. I'm certainly not twenty any more. I'm twenty six this year, I'm twenty. So you know your mobility, your strength, and how are you coping in everyday life. I have a free assessment on. There that you can take, so you know what your starting point is and you know when you fill that in, I will give you some pointers on what you can actually start doing right now, what will be the right way to act for you. You can also book a call with me if you would like me, you know. To build a nice training and eating program for you to become super awesome. And you can follow me with my name too on Instagram and on Facebook, and I share a lot of stuff there about mindset, muscle and my own weightlifting adventures too.

30:21 What's your favorite weightlifting story? Oh, my favorite weightlifting story is it's happened like twice, I think. You know, when you go out on that platform and you lift, you have three attempts for each lift. The Olympic weightlifting is two lifts. One is a snatch, you'd lift the bar overhead in one go, and the other one is clean and jerk. So you put the bar on the shoulders first and then you lift it overhead from there. And I remember twice when I had failed the first two snatches, so there's just one attempt lift and the pressure is you know, immense. Don't want to bomb, do you? I mean, it happens to people.

31:03 And even in the Olympics now, I saw like the best weightlifters in the world and they were bombing. So when I managed, after tooth fail lifts, to reset, go out there and make the last lift, no matter what the end result of the competition, for me, that is such a huge, huge win because it's this idea of forget what happened, forget what's going to happen, it's just now here and now reset, refocus, and only this very moment. Counts, nothing else counts. When I managed to do that in such a high pressure environment, I'm always quite proud of myself.

31:44 Nice I love that. And what would you say would be one of your greatest stories about somebody you've worked with? Oh, it's my very favorite story. Is actually a lady who's now seventy one. She came to me when she was sixty eight, I think, and she was miserable because she was in pain all the time. She felt stiff. She got out of bed with a cane with a stick in the morning because she couldn't get up. And we started very gently with my method fifteen minutes a day, and yes, it took about a year, but after a year she had lost twenty five pounds and she went horseback riding, and she shared photos of her on horseback in a beautiful English country side landscape. And that's that always moves my heart so much because she really, you know, she says, I feel like myself again.

32:44 You gave me my life back. It was her dream to go hoseback horseback riding again when she joined me, and it was totally unimaginable, but she was very consistent and she kept showing up and she got there. And this is one of my absolute favorites stories. Wow, that is pretty cool. That's very cool. So, Rebel, why do you people in Louisiana do to stay healthy? Eat? I don't know. I've seen the food you guys have there. I wouldn't call that healthy. Like I eat healthy. And we have this place called Voodoo Buy you down the street from us here, and it is Louisiana Cajun. There's not one thing I can find in that menu that won't kill me.

33:41 Well, I mean, you just have to watch what you do. I mean, I live in. The most amazing place to eat. So it's a you know, it's aside from its architecture, eating. Is the thing. So was the healthiest thing that you eat? Have Rebel me? Yeah? Yeah, you act like you know, do you see me? Well, you know broccoli corn? I don't know. Broccoli corn. Corn. That's the one that you're going to put on your healthy list there.

34:24 She's starting to describe like a broil, like a seafood broil. Well, you take the corn on a cop and you put it on the grill and you cook it and you eat. It, nice grilled corn. It's good. There's a reason. There's a reason it comes out the same shape at went end, because your body is not using any of it. Well, they say that, but if you look it up. See, I was nder the impression at corn had no nutritional value, but that's not true because we left it up this weekend. And you're right, look it up. It actually does have nutritional value, and it's fiber and it grabs all you know, the stuff that may be stuck in there and helps it move loans.

35:11 Actually, I just looked it up and he says it's high in carbohydrates and fiber. Yeah, the fiber is good, the carbs not so much. But I just had I just had some corn for lunch, so I'm just busting your chops. But it but no the carbs, saying I always used to think that way too, and then I got diabetes, but I reverse die. Kim doesn't even notice I reverse diabetes six months with just food, no meds. Never have taken a med, will never take a med. And you know, you learn a lot too that that's the everything once you That's why you need to hire a coach like Kim. Because there's two reasons you need to hire a coach like Kim. One is because you need to really like find out what works for you, because there's no cookie cutter thing out there, you know, and trust me from somebody. I have a natural path that I use. I have, you know, I have people that are professionals. I don't just rely on myself, but I do do my own homework, and I am my own advocate. And you can test and see certain things what don't work. But a coach can help guide you and guide you in the right direction. Because the fact that matter is, you know, just the same conversation we're having here right now, Rebel shows why people need

36:43 a coach because people that live in Louisiana and they eat all that good food, they need somebody to guide them to stay alive because you know, well, food can kill you, that's the point, and it can help you. But if you're in everything fried, Yeah, that's very Louisiana, isn't it. Those Boudoir balls or what is it, the boudoah balls or whatever they are, the boo dam males, the boo dam bulls. I wouldn't exactly call that healthy. But what I'm saying is is that, seriously, though I had somebody that guide me, I have never been able to reverse the diabetes on my own. Okay, because after you start learning about this stuff. You read the labels, especially here in America. You know, Kim's so lucky to be in Europe because we just have poison in our food over here. It blows my mind. You can have the exact same product here and then Europe and they have totally different ingredients and a lot less of them, you know, and even the bad stuff like cocoa puffs.

37:59 I love cocoa puffs. I can't eat cocoa puffs in the United States because they have like fifty eight grams of sugar and ten different chemicals and you can't even pronounce most of the things are in it. In the Netherlands, when I was living there for two months, their cocoa puffs had three ingredients and like three grams of sugar and it tasted just fine to me, and I could eat it. You know, they put you'd be amazed at what they put junk into, Like why do they we're talking about vegetables. Why do they put sugar in frozen broccoli? That's what I'd like to know.

38:40 Why it causes a reaction in your gut and it makes your brain want more of it. It's why to put. Sugar into savory food. You don't even taste it, but your brain reacts. So it's really so engineered, and it appeals to, you know, like the basic reactions that we've had for thousands of years because they helped us survive. They helped us eat energy dense food. They helped us eat food that had tons of calories because we needed those they were scarce at the time. And now we have the same reactions, the same instincts, but. It's killing us, like you're saying. Some people call this an evolutionary trap actually, because we evolved to have, like, you know, certain certain functions and reactions, and the way the world is now makes it that this becomes outright dangerous for us because we will overeat, we will not move, and we will sort of let our bodies go to waste like that.

39:40 Mm hm. And you know, listen, I believe that if people have somebody like you that can guide them, that they can live a much better life because listen, I don't eat the way I do now because I want to live longer. That's not the reason I do what I do now, because I want to do all the things I enjoy doing, like surfing, skateboarding, traveling, I could the list could go on and on, and so to me, it's about quality of life. And if people start thinking that way, because I'm not really scared of death, I'm scared of living a death, you know, and that that listen. Uh, you know, I've had a couple of things, as we all know. And my my thing is is, you know what, I'm going to live the life I'm used to living, no matter what health conditions there are. So then I need to make other adjustments in life. And when you need to make those other adjustments, you do need a coach like Kim, because you need somebody to be accountable to as well, and because that makes you accountable and you to continue. And and I just find it even like if I go to a gym and I use it, I think it's much easier. I think it's much easier when somebody's seen there and E didn't the thought of for somebody like me. Let's say they say do ten reps. Well,

41:11 I'm going to do ten reps because uh they told me to do it, and I'm going to make sure I achieved that goal. But if it was just me there, I might at the fifth rep be like, okay, that was enough. I don't want to do another one, you know, but I would be worried if I had a coach that how they would think about it, so I would just do to ten. There's just so many reasons that it is always beneficial to have a coach. And like I was saying before, let's talk about the negative thing. And I hate to say it, but somebody we loved dearly that was part of this network is not with us anymore because of doing things in natural way without a coach. Because you know what, doing healthy thing, if it's done the wrong way, it can be detrimental to your health. So if you are somebody like me who had diabetes and I decided to go into a juicing program, that would probably kill me because that would elevate my sugar.

42:17 Now I think I'm doing something healthy, but I didn't have somebody to tell me, hey, you have diabetes, you can't juice. And so, you know, there's just many good reasons, and there's you know that you shouldn't be on this journey alone, and that's where Kim can help you. So why don't you tell everybody once again how they can best reach out to you and even just have a conversation to see if you guys have chemistry to where you can help them and work with them. Absolutely, So it's Kimurah here dot com is my website and you can find me with my name on Facebook, Instagram, and I'm happy to have a messenger conversation about where you're at now, what you want to achieve, you know what your obstacles are, and I think it's really what you said is really great because these things are skills, as I said before, and you wouldn't go you know, did you have a driving instructor when you learn driving?

43:18 And now you know to eat and train right for your personal situation because health is relative. What's healthy for you is not healthy for someone else. Exactly as you describe. Those are all skills and why don't you want a professional to show you that skill instead of, you know, losing a lot of time and energy trying it on your own. So I totally agree with what you said. And you know, I told Kim before the show, Okay, you're going to be on for fifteen minutes, and I've kept her on a lot longer because this is so important and it's so helpful, and so everybody needs to reach out to Kim or tell a friend or what have you. And now we're going to talk about what else is healthy for the pipe Man, and that is the Pipe Main radio tour. And so last weekend, okay, so here's my adventures last week, and I have to do like the short story version. Okay, I went surfing, speaking about active and health and stuff like, I went surfing.

44:23 The place I went is about two hours north of here. Okay. I went up to Sebastian and let went surfing up there for like five hours. Okay. And normally after you're surfing for five hours, first of all, when you're going that long, you're ultra tired. I don't care who you are, and you usually just want to go home and gel and take a shower and just chill out. That's not the Pipe Main. Pipe Man gets out of water, gets a phone call, Hey need to go to the West Palm Beach Amphitheater to I think Financial Amphitheater here because Megadeth mud Vane and all that remains is playing and there's a ticket waiting for you at the venue. Doors were at six point thirty. It was four twenty five when I got that phone call and I had just gotten out of water in Sebastian, So I did not go home. I did not shower, I did not rest, I did not even eat. But I knew there was going to be like a healthy place to eat at the Amphitheater, so I wasn't worried there. And I drove two hours straight to cover that show, not dressed like I should for that show. I was dressed like I just went surfing. And I think, okay, I wiped out.

45:51 I wiped out on a wave, okay, And don't tell anybody, but I think the whole time I was at the show, I had sand in my butt, okay, but didn't tell anybody. Oh nice to know that must have been gritty. Yeah, well, you know, is that what they call it? Might be, but don't tell anybody because it is TMI. Okay, and what are you talking about? I'm just telling you, guys. No, we're a lot of on the air. You just told the whole world. Oh well, Oh, I guess the cat's out of the bag. You can tell anybody you want now. I didn't know that one. I thought you had our mics off.

46:33 No, I asked everyone to cover their ears while you've talked, so we're good. So now tomorrow morning, I have to get up at the butt crack of dawn. You know, guys do that segue.
