She has done over 70,000 kilometers around the earth. Lisa wasn’t built to run; instead, she decided she wanted to become a runner. In the beginning, Lisa suffered. However, she got good enough to overcome the adversity. [07:15] Lisa Was In An Abusive Relationship and Discovered Ultramarathon Running Lisa was in an abusive relationship in her 20s. Her relationship had a massive impact on her. Lisa felt hopeless because she was constantly being verbally abused. Eventually, Lisa recovered from her relationship and got into ultramarathon running. The comradeship, friendship, and positivity kept her coming back to ultramarathons. [18:10] What To Do If You’re Going Through A Traumatic Situation You need to take control of some aspect of the crisis you're going through. The amygdala is a very primitive part of the brain that does this fight or flight response. Your amygdala will takeover during something traumatic. So, you need to get control of your breath. The exhale will be critical; the exhale tells your body that it is not in danger. In fight or flight, your prefrontal cortex turns off. Next, look at what you can control. [23:35] Relentless: How A Mother and Daughter Defied The Odds Six years ago, Lisa’s mom had a massive aneurysm. When they got to the doctor, they said she only had a migraine. After six hours, Lisa’s mom got a CT scan; they found out a massive vessel had burst. At that moment, they didn’t think she would survive. An air ambulance took twelve hours to arrive. To stay calm, Lisa figured out what she could be in control of during this situation. Lisa’s mom was in and out of a coma for three weeks. Eventually, she stabilized, and she survived. The book Relentless is a mindset book; it’s the mindset that it takes to overcome massive obstacles. The book can be applied in any situation. [44:00] Fasting and Ketones To Help Overcome Health Struggles Lisa’s mom would eat one meal a day. Unfortunately, she wouldn’t fast for an entire day. Exogenous ketones helped her stay in ketosis. Lowering free radicals and inflammation is a huge benefit. Ketones cannot be used as fuel for cancer. Plus, Lisa would give her mom PerfectAmino: https://bodyhealth.com/products/perfectamino-special-3-pack [54:00] How To Talk To Doctors When They Don’t Listen There are many limitations in the medical system. You have to advocate, and you have to push; don’t sit there and be polite. We are taught that doctors are the authority figure, and we need to do what they say. Remember, there are commercial interests behind the medical system. Do your own research. AND MUCH MORE!
