Unleash Your Brain Power With The Law of Attraction | Shawn Stevenson


a lot of people don’t realize this but
placebos are actually 33% effective
and this is important for it and I
always like to share this whenever I can
my very first position you know he put
my MRI out for me to see and he told me
that I the spine of an 80 year old man
you know I had to ruptured discs and my
vertebrae were deteriorating and so when
he says this to me
you know I’m immediately like okay so
what do we do like it’s fix it you know
and he’s like you know I’m sorry son
and what happened and I know you’ve
heard about this several times the
placebo effect is something where you
get a positive injunction from somebody
who’s an authority figure and you
proceed to have certain symptoms happen
or changes in your physiology but what
he did for me was something called a
nocebo effect this is giving somebody a
negative injunction that something bad
is going to happen and your physician
your physiology begets a change from
that and so I’ve spent the next two and
a half years in a lot of pain a lot of
drugs prescribed and over-the-counter
and just laying on my floor you know
because not only was this painful but it
was embarrassing you know I went from
kind of being one of the cool guys to
like I’m walking around campus with a
back brace and just you know really kind
of losing myself I saw different doctors
I you know went through the whole gamut
of why me why did this happen to me why
would somebody help me and really
playing this victim role and it wasn’t
until I actually decided to get well
that everything changed and most people
never do that with their bodies with
their health with their relationships
it’s mostly like I’ll see what happened
wishful thinking I’ll give this a try
but when you really decide something
you’re cutting away the possibility of
anything else and so I asked this really
important question that you mentioned
okay if my spine is deteriorating if my
bones are deteriorating what what is it
actually made of and that sent me down
this incredible path of discovery
because what we hear in kind of common
culture is you know if you want strong
healthy bones drink milk and come to
find out calcium is one of the least
important things and even getting it
from your diet it doesn’t exactly work
in your body the way that we’re marketed
to to because it’s marketed and so I
found out that things like silica
magnesium sulfur bearing amino acids all
these things are in some cases even more
important so I start to get all those
nutrients in my body so that was number
one was
number two is movement and so exercise
is really about two main things number
one is assimilation and I came across
some research that showed that when you
actually are doing walking while taking
on specific supplements for your bones
your bone density goes even higher all
right because that walking helps your
body to assimilate number two is
elimination you know elimination of
toxins because your lymphatic system
which especially when you’re getting
healthier your body is trading out a lot
of stuff and there’s a lot of dead cells
there’s a lot of metabolic waste
products and so how do you get that
stuff out of your system you have to
move because your lymphatic system
doesn’t have a pump like your
cardiovascular system does and you
actually have four times more left than
you do blood and so that movement was so
important healing and here’s the problem
is that oftentimes when you have you
know an injury or an issue like this
we’re told not to do anything that’s
often the worst thing you can do because
things will start to atrophy if you
don’t use it you lose it and so I just
start to Innis of course if anybody’s
dealing with like an acute problem right
now like take a day or two off but I
encourage people to do what you can in
an intelligent way and so for me I could
barely walk properly and so I started
off on a stationary bike progressed to
treadmill I started jogging a little bit
itchy I picked up the weights again and
you know just to jump really quickly to
the end of the story I had lost 28
pounds in the next six weeks and the
pain I’ve been experiencing for
two-and-a-half years was gone
but the third and most important part
now I know was the rest in recovery
right it seems like I was resting a lot
by not doing anything but it really
wasn’t you know it was a lot of
suffering and my greatest struggle was
at night going to bed because the pain
was so bad it would wake me up and so I
was on you know various medications and
I basically to drug myself
to not wake up and so it was like a
pseudo sleep and it would take several
hours before I really like felt like I
was awake because what I really wanted
to promote for people is this
understanding that if you’re not
sleeping well you’re not he
and this is where your body releases the
vast majority of human growth hormone of
the you know these various anabolic
hormones reparative enzymes so when my
sleep got improved I got better so fast
and so I shifted all my coursework over
to biology and kinesiology and
eventually open a clinical practice and
you know often times I would get those
people who they were told there’s
nothing you can do you know you have
type-2 diabetes blood sugars 400 without
metformin
there’s nothing you can do about it and
consistently seeing these folks be able
to naturally regulate their blood sugar
oftentimes get off their medications and
some things like that because where
there’s a will there’s 10,000 ways but
it’s also understanding that it first of
all just acknowledging that it is possible
