Health Anxiety, Vaccines and Making Sense of Medical News – Dr. Jen Ashton with Dave Asprey – #830

• What has changed from when your book first hit the market and now? Because things are moving so rapidly. Is there anything that you’re saying, “I wish I would’ve said that”? – 1:29
• As I like to say, I’m not “just a doctor on TV”. I take care of real patients, everything from anxiety, depression, skin problems, weight problems, hormonal problems. – 5:52
• How do you bring people out of the fear mindset? – 7:59
• The other way of saying that is this is not a dictatorship. This isn’t the dark ages where some doctor comes in and issues a mandate. – 10:25
• Pfizer, Moderna, or the Johnson & Johnson. I’m wondering which of them gives me the least risk of Bill Gates controlling me with 5G and magnetizing my brain.  – 13:40
• That is really where we go for our sources on ABC News, as the largest news network in the country. Personally, I go directly to the individual doctors that are making these statements or writing these papers.  – 20:43
• Even though it looks like we’re out there alone, we’re not. We have teams of producers and we have a whole legal department at every network.  – 25:33
• The seventh chapter of The New Normal, your book. It’s about anxiety. And so, people have anxiety about do I have to disclose my vaccine status?  – 28:54
• One of the most important things in the book, in the sense of those kind of chapters that I take people through as to how to pandemic-proof themselves and their circles, does have to do with diet and nutrition. – 31:09
• I think if we look at that like we should always be in training to go to battle, we would be more resilient. We would be in a better place. That doesn’t mean we have to be perfect, but it does mean that we’re always prepared.  – 34:23
• Why do you think the message did not get out that people should take charge of their metabolic health?  – 35:51
• Anyone who takes care of real patients knows that the second you blame or accuse or berate, that’s it. You have lost the battle. – 37:54
• Recently they changed the COVID death to death with COVID and death by COVID. Why did it take so long to make this change?  – 39:42
• That whole section in your book on silver linings was awesome. I teach people to focus on gratitude, even if things are a total disaster.  – 43:32
  
• In terms of weighing my risk of an anaphylactic reaction, again, it goes back to those four questions: risk of getting the vaccine, risk of not getting the vaccine, benefit of getting it, benefit of not getting it.   – 46:48
  
• I love it that your allergist mentioned the Claritin and Zyrtec, H1 and H2 histamine blockers. It seems like if everyone had those when they were getting the vaccine, they might not feel as crappy for as long.  – 49:10
  
• Dave:
  The final thing, it has nothing to do with your new book, The New Normal, and it has nothing to do with the pandemic or coronavirus. It has to do with your medical clinic. That thing that you do there where you run high-frequency electrical current over someone’s butt to make it bigger, does it work?  – 50:32
