Reading out of Live and Rescue for you guys right here.
Seasons are changing. We're talking about seasonal affective disorder.
And more than that, you may be like,
Hey, I don't have SAD. I don't have seasonal affective disorder.
Why should I listen? Well, there's a lot of information in here.
Because that's just a label.
The point is, if you don't feel good and you have a symptom or a condition
or anything going on, you don't need an SAD diagnosis, of course.
But regardless of what you call it or how you call it,
You should listen to this for a second. It's very interesting. The SAD label is one of the saddest
misdiagnoses out there. It takes advantage of the fact that we do all feel a boost on a beautiful
sunny day. Do you guys feel a little bit better on a beautiful sunny day with low humidity, right?
So you got low humidity. It's a beautiful sunny day, right? Moderate temperatures.
and all of a sudden we can get a boost. Of course, if you're dealing with chronic illness
and you have a flare, it could happen on the most beautiful day ever. And I do know that
somebody could be struggling and suffering and on mattress island during the prettiest day of the
year, right? The weather's incredible. It's 72 degrees outside. It's sunny. There's a little
breeze, low humidity, air is fresh for the moment. Not that many clouds in the sky, right?
not too many chemtrails in the moment right so either way you can still be really sick and on
mattress island during a time like that and that can happen but either way for the most for most
people a beautiful day means we do get kind of a little bit of a boost where we're like okay i'm
feeling a little bit better and that happens for most people right so the sad diagnosis is it takes
advantage of this. So the most incredible stellar day possible that's out there. Okay. Because you
feel a little bit better on that day because it's so gorgeous out and the air is so right.
And the pollution in the air is down. The breeze is going through low humidity, all of it,
that they'll give that diagnosis SAD, you know, they'll actually abuse that diagnosis because
if you're not having the most beautiful day in the world and you're not feeling so good,
they can just say, whoa, it was the weather. Whoa, it's because humidity is up a little bit.
Whoa, it's because it's getting colder and it's turning winter. And that's why it's really a joke.
It's the saddest misdiagnosis out there, really, the whole SAD thing. So it ignores everything
else wrong with people. So if you have something wrong with you, you don't feel good. You have
something going on in your life. Symptoms, depression, depersonalization, bipolar, RA,
thyroid problems, you know, back problems, you know, different varieties of fatigue, migraines,
whatever it is, jaw pain, neck pain, body pain, right? Carpal tunnel, tendonitis, whatever it is
that's going on, it's kind of like the industry takes advantage of the person by throwing that
SAD thing around, you know, because whatever you have, yeah, it can worsen a little bit if the
weather's not so great or if the air's really polluted in the moment, right? That high pollution
rate. It deprives, so here's what happens. It deprives them of the opportunity to get better.
So what they do is the industry is set up to deprive the person of having an opportunity of
getting better because they don't call the shots right for people, right? When winter comes
in a cold climate, we don't take as many walks of nature. You ever notice that like when winter
comes, it's cold. It gets dark early for a lot of people, depending where you are on the planet.
And it's, you're less likely going to be taking walks when you got two feet of snow out. There's
ice. You got to be careful you don't slip, all of that, right? Unless somebody that's like,
I love it, I could go skiing and all that. But if you don't feel good, skiing is really not an
option, especially if you're on mattress island and you're struggling. The last thing you want to
do or can do is go on a mountaintop and start skiing, right? So we don't take as many walks
in nature. We don't eat the freshest food. And that's another thing too. We don't do a lot of
fresh fruits and leafy greens when winter comes. A lot of people don't. They want kind of like
hot food, comforting food. They want the mac and cheese. They want the pizzas. They want something
piping hot that's out of the oven. They don't want cold celery juice. They don't want cold
lemon water and celery juice and smoothies and smoothies with frozen fruit in there. They don't
want leafy greens with lots of tomatoes. So that winter comes, you don't really want the leafy
greens with all those tomatoes and those cucumbers thrown on top of there, right? We don't get out to
the farmer's market either. So a lot of people do farmer's markets, right? They'll go there and
they'll buy their food fresh from farmer's markets, but we don't have those opportunities so much
when winter comes. Market trips and feasts and stuff like that, right, aren't really happening
where you're feasting on a pint of strawberries. It's like, no, not really. Sure, you can go to the
store and buy strawberries in a dead winter, you can do that, right? But a lot of people don't is
what I mean. We don't do what we normally do to support our immune system. And that's another
thing too. So many people, they just don't do what they normally do in the summer to support
their immune system. They do in the winter, right? So if we're not upping our game in other ways,
as the weather gets colder, any problem under the surface will peek out its ugly head a little bit
more. So if there's something going on, like if we'd been sick, if we had a Lyme diagnosis
throughout the years, an RA diagnosis, a thyroid diagnosis, or anything going on in our life along
the way, right? Regardless of what it is, when there's aches and pains and trigeminal neuralgia
and blurry eyes and brain fog and migraines, whatever it is, it tends to peak its ugly head
out when we're not taking care of ourselves as much and the season's shifting. Almost all people
with SAD end up getting worse. That's another thing too. Anybody who's had a seasonal affective
disorder diagnosis, whether they had it five years ago or 10 years ago or last year, it tends to
worsen as time goes on because it never was a seasonal affective disorder, you know, real
condition disease. It was other things going on in their health that ebbed and flowed as time went on.
And so you can't hold on to that SAD diagnosis anymore, right?
You end up getting new labels and diagnoses along the way over the course of a lifetime
because the underlying problems aren't being addressed.
And that's what happens.
SAD diagnosis is like, we don't need to worry about anything with you.
Oh, you can go to a functional medicine doctor and get a whole workup and take this or take that.
But you end up like taking it for your SAD.
but really that's not even going on right and as you get sicker you end up losing that sed diagnosis
and now you have some other diagnosis anyway like lyme or microbiome diagnosis of some kind or
you know an h pylori diagnosis or a chronic fatigue diagnosis whatever it is that happens
along the way right it's not just that ra rheumatoid arthritis or sinus issues get ignored
someone who's had low energy for the last five winters may develop deeper fatigue in the sixth
year and finally receive a diagnosis of Lyme disease. So that's another thing too. You can
have fatigue. There's people out there, of course, you may be one of them that had fatigue on and off
for 10 years. And then after 10 years, you get a diagnosis of Lyme or have fatigue for two years.
And then you get a diagnosis of Lyme disease. Well, it may be a misdiagnosis. Lyme disease
itself could be the misdiagnosis. It's a diagnosis brought on by the fact that symptoms are worsening
and that's the thing with people is over time as the seasons change and the years go by, their
symptoms worsen because it was never addressed truly what was wrong to begin with and so it just
worsened over time. SAD is just a way of not taking things seriously to catch the early symptoms and
And that's what happens for anybody that gets diagnosed with SAD, seasonal affective disorder.
What happens is it's just a way to be like, don't look at anything else that's happening.
Don't worry about the signs.
This is just all weather.
And that's what it is.
And that happens to so many different people, right?
So let's talk more about the symptoms attributed to SAD.
When you're dealing with depression, anxiousness, anxiety, sadness, nervousness, fatigue, mild or severe, or aches and pains,
know that these are real neurological issues. So these are neurological symptoms. This isn't SAD.
This is neurological stuff. So when you're dealing with this, you're dealing with anxiety, sadness,
anxiousness, depression, depersonalization, any of that. Those are real physical symptoms
you're actually dealing with, not SAD. Those are real symptoms. Now, I know that everybody doesn't
get diagnosed with SAD, but it was really interesting to talk about it because what
comes around goes around. Years ago, 15 years ago, 20 years ago, everybody was getting diagnosed with
SAD, right? And then, you know, after that, it was like Lyme disease, Lyme disease, then something
else, right? Either way, what comes around goes around. So we're going to be heading into a place
where they're going to try to pull, the industries are going to try to pull the SAD card coming out
pretty soon because right now more people are getting sicker than ever before in our history.
It's exploding right now. So neurological conditions and depression and anxiety and
depersonalization and OCD are exploding right now. Tourette's is exploding. All these conditions,
bipolar, all of it, not to mention aches and pains and fatigue and brain fogs, all that's exploding
now. And so they're going to have to blame it on something again. So we're going to come to a point
now where it comes around, goes around. We're going to be heading out to everybody's going to
be starting to get those SAD diagnoses coming out soon, whether it's next year or the year after,
it's coming either way. Right. And if that doesn't come yet, something else to come before it,
that still throws everybody off the scent anyway. So that concludes this week's exclusive newsletter.
You guys reading out a liver rescue. We can't wait to see you next week. Thank you for being here.
