This is everyday wellness, a podcast dedicated to helping you achieve your health and wellness goals and provide practical strategies that you can use in your real life.

And now, here is your host, Nurse Practition practitioner Cynthia Thurlow.

I am so excited today.

To have Abel James, he's a New York Times best-selling author, musician, and

creator of the hit podcast, Fat Burning Man, which if you're not a listener of, you

should jump on it immediately. It's so well done. His new book and audio book entitled

Designer Babies, still gets Gables,

a number one international bestseller in humor is available now.

Welcome, Abel.

It's so nice to have you this morning. Thank you so much for having me. We're going to have some fun.

Absolutely. So, you know, before we started recording, we were kind of talking a bit about, you know, life experiences and how that will kind of guide our perspectives.

And certainly as someone in the last 18 months who went through their own little health care

hiccup.

I know you were kind of touching on and alluding to the experiences you and your wife had.

So I'd love to kind of start there and we'll kind of pivot as we go.

What actually happened?

You mentioned carbon monoxide poisoning and I'd love to hear more about what

happened there. Yeah, it's really creepy and to be honest I wasn't as informed as I should have been

before it all happened to us but this was

about a year ago my wife and I who have been working in the field of health for

you know 10 plus years at this point so it's not only a part of our

identity and everything who makes you know this is what we do with our time this is what we've dedicated our lives to so it was really interesting to have that taken away and heartbreaking for us.
