Episode 30: From Pain to Purpose – Part 2

Dr. Pompa:

All right, well, we have a very exciting show for you. After last week’s show with my wife Merily, we had to bring her back. We had so many comments and questions that we decided, okay, I’m going to interview you her. Hopefully, I ask the questions that most of you are asking. Look, we brought up on the show—first of all, we told Merily’s hormone story and just how her lead was affecting her hormones, so if you haven’t listened to that show, please do. It is a big reason why many women hormonally just aren’t right and why many women don’t feel well, can’t lose weight. I mean, we went through a litany of different stories there or parts of our story that apply to so many and how even that she was going to potentially end up like her mom who ended up dying of cancer. The moral of that story was basically you have to get upstream to the cause of things, and when we did, we were able to balance her hormones. She wasn’t now producing a dangerous estrogen called 4-hydroxy estrogen, which no doubt causes breast cancer and other hormone problems. She had other problems going on as well, and again, the moral is going upstream.

We want to just shift, and we shifted gears a little bit in the last segment about an upstream cause that maybe it’s why your life isn’t where you want it to be. My wife is starting her podcast called Women 2 Purpose, and there is no doubt that I see physical ailments keeping people from their purpose or the promise that God has for them. There’s other factors we’re going to discuss today, so with that said, let me reintroduce to you my wife Merily.

Merily:

Good morning.

Dr. Pompa:

She’s the boss of us, so now you have access to the boss. I wanted to bring on Merily again and just do an interview. They know your story now, at least most of our listeners. Again, in this area, I would have to say that you have been through a lot of counseling, a lot of reading, a lot of searching, and God brought you through a lot of valleys to get you where you are today. Why Women 2 Purpose?

Merily:

I have a heart, as you know. I live in expectation of God showing up and showing off. That’s my mantra for my personal life and our family through a lot of challenges, and I think, the more that I’ve been connected to your work and, obviously, the success within it or the frustrations within it, it really comes down to this common denominator of the emotional elements aren’t being addressed adequately enough. From my own experience, it just seemed like there were different—there was an evolution of help if you want to call it that where the first counselor was just a lot of talking and a lot of just expressing that side of me that didn’t seem to get heard in other relationships, including ours. I perceive my pain and my experience of life differently than you. Obviously, I’m my own person. I’m coming into it with my own set of values and expectations and frustrations, so consequently, you can’t relate at the level that I needed to have validated I think was really where it started.

Then I realized, okay, I’ve talked now for what, two years. I’m all talked out, and I get it. I’m perfectly willing and able and desiring to lay whatever it is that is needed—just lay it down. Give it to God and say, yeah, this is me, and parts of it that I don’t understand, it doesn’t even matter anyway. Where am I going from here? It went from that to digging deeper into deeper types of counseling. Unfortunately, some I learned weren’t going to be okay given our set of values, and others I saw a benefit when it came to retraining just neurology and things like that. I got that part.

Ultimately, I realized that there is a whole culture of really amazing women that desire God’s best for their life, and yet, sometimes I think it’s just that lack of—and by the way, my mom was in that category where she was an amazing women with an amazing heart, and yet, she was always looking at her circumstances as the very stumbling blocks to why her life wasn’t the way it was. That really frustrated me. I think it was a combination of being raised by that particular type of woman who had incredible potential, had an amazing heart, and yet, lived her life dissatisfied. You can’t necessarily help what happens to you, but you can certainly help the way you perceive what happens to you.

Dr. Pompa:

Who’s the show for? Is the show for—you’re saying that women—I mean, you’ve done the work. You really have. I mean, you could’ve lived your life where it was, and you may, I think, would’ve had a successful life but maybe not a happy life. You definitely are thriving now. You did the work. There’s no doubt about it.

Merily:

I’m still doing the work.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. Who is the show for?

Merily:

It’s for women that can relate to that type of understanding about their lives, that they understand that God does allow our values—or I’m sorry, our valleys to create our purpose. There’s no pain that we experience or challenge that we go through that really—I really came to learn was—it’s not just for us. What are we going to do with that experience? Maybe there’s a lesson to be learned. Maybe there’s many lessons to be learned. Maybe there’s a different attitude to adopt about that. Maybe there is a resilience that is going to be birthed out of it. Maybe courage is needed to step into those uncomfortable spaces and places and say you know what? I am who I am because of this, and it’s good. It’s not bad. By the way, then you’re giving up the bitterness for the betterness.

Dr. Pompa:

What you’re saying then is your beliefs have a lot to do with how your life ends up and who you are.

Merily:

Of course.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. Where would you say most of these beliefs come from?

Merily:

First of all, obviously, my faith is my greatest…

Dr. Pompa:

I’m talking about individuals just because we all have different beliefs. Where do they come from and some of them good, some of them bad?

Merily:

Oh, they come from our circumstances. They come from the people around us. They come from maybe the value that people add to our life through our different relationships, and unfortunately, some people are hanging around the wrong people. Some people have perhaps settled in their life for relationships that weren’t in their best interest to take them into places that gave them an added sense of capability for just a different outcome, and again, that is not to say that—by the way, I think of my mom again. One of the things that I would always tell her is—when she would complain about the things that weren’t as she wanted or expected them to be, my thing was but you have a greater understanding in these relationships. Therefore, more is expected of you.

I think that’s where we’re falling short of not really truly trusting God happens, to women especially. They get locked into their dynamics of how they relate to their husband, how they relate to their kids, how they relate to different functions.

Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. When we come back, I want to explore this belief thing a little more because I think it ultimately really applies to who we are and who we become in our destiny. When we get back, we’re going to talk more about that.

[Break 00:09:41 – 00:09:47]

Dr. Pompa:

When we look at beliefs, I think we could all look at our life and say, yeah, I really have some amazing beliefs. I perhaps have some beliefs that may not be true, but dang it, I can’t change them. I had the pleasure of knowing your mom, and she was. She was a great woman. No doubt, I also had the pleasure of knowing your grandmother, and I saw a lot of the same beliefs from your mother to your grandmother. Boy, it would always frustrate me, wouldn’t it, right? Believe me, I could look at some of my beliefs that I got from my parents or my teachers, but that’s the point. That we all end up with a set of beliefs, and then that changes our thoughts. Those beliefs get into our subconscious. That ends up becoming the words that we speak, right?

I mean, ultimately, we speak things and you go—you’re listening to someone. I have a lot of clients from all over the world, but I can tell within moments that their beliefs about something may not be quite right because of the words they’re thinking of or saying because of thoughts they’re having. Then the words become actions. We always tell our children this, don’t we? Then the actions become certain habits, and then our habits become our values in life, whether they’re good or bad, some of them good, some of them bad. Then our values unfortunately or fortunately become our destiny, and that was your mom. I mean, it was. I mean, when you look at your mom, her destiny, I mean, we couldn’t shake it out. Maybe if we knew more then, we’d of really identified and dug at some of these false beliefs she had, right?

I guess what you’re saying is is we have to identify some of these beliefs. You were successful at changing a lot of the beliefs that you had. How did you do it?

Merily:

Honestly, I think I—the thing that comes to mind, makes me laugh is that I was always accused of having an unrealistic expectation, honestly. Merily, get your head out of the clouds. It’s not a pie in the sky ideology in life, and quite honestly, though, I think I naturally gravitated towards the opposite of whatever they were doing and thinking and believing. I really truly believe that it is so true that you can basically speak your destiny into existence if you simply—when I was in college and in sales, there was a saying; “fake it ‘til you make it,” and I loved that. I really loved hanging around people that had a mind and an attitude to match that would—that I would be able to learn from and glean from, and it would help me think bigger and differently. It definitely served me well. I think that was just something that always came through an effort of saying you know what? If this person can live this way, think this way, make this kind of difference, why can’t I? I mean, what makes them special? What makes them special is the power of their mind to overcome their circumstances and to look at obstacles as opportunities.

In our case, the one thing that I don’t think we had or I know I didn’t have in a lot of those relationships that I watched and admired, they didn’t have faith, at least not the kind of faith that we live. From that perspective I always say my God is—and it’s biblical. That He is able to do above all that we can ask or imagine. If this is true and is in the life that we live, then how much more enjoyment and satisfaction is He going to get out of a relationship with one of His children that is truly leaning on Him and trusting Him for such big things? God knows we’ve had a lot of big things to trust Him for, and in that, nothing’s come easy for the solution, or the remedy, or the outcome. We just keep putting one foot in front of the other. We work hard. We bring Him into every equation, and it seems like just when we get in a groove of any sort He mixes it up again. There’s a new challenge, but it’s still that mindset.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. One thing that you’ve been good at is you look at the circumstances, and it would drive me nuts, by the way. You would look at it differently than I would. In my earlier years, I would definitely focus on the negative of the circumstances. I would say that I’m a realist. By the way, I am, right? I think there’s plenty of room for being completely real. However, it would drive me nuts because you would pull out all of the positives. Being a problem solver, a fixer, I’m trying to pull out the negatives because I’m trying to get my ahead around it and fix it. However, your method definitely in the long run would win out, at least as far as looking at the situation from a positive.

Merily:

You caught on.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah, right. I caught on. I think that is what you’re saying is that if we can change the way we think about our circumstances. One thing we both have learned is we immediately say, okay, what’s God have in this for us?

Merily:

Absolutely.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. What does He want us to learn in this situation? I think, again, we have a belief that many of us have to change about our circumstances, and again, the belief is going to change our thoughts. Our thoughts become our words, so listen to your words. Then our words become our actions. Our actions ultimately become our habits; our habits, values; values, destinies. I mean, we become how we think, and I’ve watched you have to change your thinking on many things. I’ve watched you go through a lot of counseling, a lot of prayer. I mean, is that part of it? You’re saying from pain to purpose, but people don’t make it to their purpose because they can’t see their pain differently.

Merily:

As an opportunity for growth, as an opportunity to really have their purpose birthed out of that pain. Because I’m functioning from a premise of our pain is never just for us, from pain to purpose, becoming better not bitter. No way to it but through it. I mean, there’s all these little things that have been deposited into my heart along the way, so as a result of that, I see women really missing out. You said it. People aren’t happy. Women aren’t happy, and if they tweaked the way they were viewing the struggle, then there would be such a transformative experience would be happening through that.

I know that’s critical. Let’s face it. We’re going to walk around the earth and do our thing. You might as well do it from a perspective of just hope, and if I can offer…

Dr. Pompa:
Sorry about the dogs, folks. Yeah. That’s the dogs.

Merily:

UPS. If I could do anything to just offer women encouragement, then that makes me happy.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. I think you’re going to offer a lot. I know you’re going to offer a lot more than encouragement. There’s a way to do this. There’s a way to change your life from feeling like you’re not serving in your purpose, to feel like you’re not really called to something bigger. That’s one of things I always say. Immediately do something bigger than yourself. Therein lies part of your purpose.

When we come back, I want to connect this even further. From pain to purpose is the mantra, but you talked about from pain to purpose to promise. Let’s talk about that when we get back.

[Break 00:18:05 – 00:18:09]

Dr. Pompa:

From pain to purpose to promise, what do you mean by that?

Merily:

Wow! When life squeezes you and you deal with difficulties, a purpose is absolutely—your pain is not—it’s something that is meant to—not to harm you but to help you.

Dr. Pompa:
First of all, do you believe everybody has a purpose?

Merily:

Of course.

Dr. Pompa:

What’s his name wrote The Purpose Driven Life.

Merily:

Yeah, Rick Warren.

Dr. Pompa:

Was it Rick Warren?

Merily:

Mm-hmm.

Dr. Pompa:

Number one seller, right? You take it a step further, then it’s more about the promise than just the purpose.

Merily:

Totally. God has a promise for everyone, and if you accept His—obviously, in this case, I am speaking to those that believe that. I would still encourage those that don’t necessarily believe that to adopt that thinking for a while, and see where it gets you.

Dr. Pompa:

I would think everyone should have that thinking because that changes who you are.

Merily:

Right. What’s the harm in that thought for a while? See how it works for you if you apply it. In any event, if the pain that is connected to developing your purpose is truly embraced in a way, I mean—and by the way, there were many, many, many, many, many, many seasons within even that stretch of a decade or more that I was reminding God and demanding that I continue to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. I mean, it was just not—it didn’t just happen because of reading and believing. I mean, I really petitioned God for the blessing, and of course, that’s the promise, that there will be an outcome in the situation. If I truly believe what He is saying and He wants good for my life, then I absolutely have to also attach the promise to the purpose and why the pain was necessary.

We would not have—I mean, I don’t want to use the word comfortable because we still weren’t comfortable. We had a lot of other challenges at home with adopting two children that lost their parents tragically and having three little kids, and you taking quite a while to recover through the challenges you had. All of those things connected and combined were still a burden for us. The way we were living our life, just the fulfillment you had from your patients and your practice and knowing you were serving and making a difference in their lives, that satisfies you as a doctor and, as you say, a fixer. It really happened that we had to look beyond—God had to allow what He allowed in our life. He knew we are resourceful. He has given us gifts and talents to be resourceful, to reinvent ourselves, and hit one wall, and hit the next wall. Just keep going, and keep figuring it out. He really allowed the events to become such that we couldn’t do anything.

Dr. Pompa:

I think when you look at purpose and promise, I think all of us who are—we have to function in a purpose to even live and be happy. I think you’ve made that point, but a promise goes something bigger than us, right? Again, my goal here is not to convert people to believe the way I believe. It’s not the point. However, the moment we have a promise or we’re striving for a promise, now it becomes something so much bigger than us, something driving us so much bigger, whether—we call it God. Some of you call it universe, whatever it is. When you move towards a promise, you’re moving from a different perspective, I believe. We held on to the promises that God gave us in our life. We did.

Merily:

We’re truly satisfied, I mean, in a way that we never would be if we had just continued practicing in our office, right?

Dr. Pompa:

What usually happens when someone starts moving into a promise?

Merily:

Resistance.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah, resistance, right. We have a saying. Tell them the saying we have, and why do we have the saying?

Merily:

Just before breakthrough is resistance.

Dr. Pompa:

No. There’s a Hebrew saying.

Merily:
[Rak chazak ve’ematz].

Dr. Pompa:

Tell them what that means.

Merily:

Be strong and courageous, for the Lord your God has gone before you. He has dealt with your enemies. He has paved the way, and our responsibility in that is just to move forward and trust Him.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. In biblical times, when anybody was moving into a promise that God had for them, there was no doubt, as you pointed out, resistance. As the Israelites moved into their promise, Moses from his deathbed spoke to them rak chazak ve’ematz. You’re right. I mean, in the English translation it means be strong and courageous, but like you had pointed out, it means so much more than that. It means God’s already gone and taken the promise for us. All Israel saw at that time was 31 enemies.

Merily:

Armies.

Dr. Pompa:

These enemies wanted them dead, right? Then later, they were crossing the Jordan, and Joshua was bringing them across. Once again, they fell fearful. I think, many people listening to this, again, you’re not necessarily happy. You’re not functioning where you should be. There is a promise for you. Every time you get close to it, your fears often times hold us back. I mean, that’s something I hear you teach on all the time. What happened was is Joshua had to re-speak to them rak chazak ve’ematz. God has already gone before you and figured that out.

Merily:

He took the territory.

Dr. Pompa:

Absolutely. I mean, we look back at every promise that we had to move into, and we had to go through that great resistance in fear.

Merily:

Oh, intimidation, 100% of our experience to that point was always being intimidated, but I think that’s the exciting part. It’s the unknown that keeps us so connected to that trust that we have in what God is doing in it.

Dr. Pompa:

Would you say that Women 2 Purpose is about that, obviously getting them to see a purpose in their life? By the way, something I teach my doctors is part of what you’re teaching is look for your purpose in your pain, but then going beyond that, it is identifying that there is a promise. I believe we all have a promise. I mean, sometimes even these promises are held up even as we are children and are parents. Any promise you have in your life and purpose as well, you’re going to hit resistance going in. Is Women 2 Purpose about helping women see that promise and move into it?

Merily:

Absolutely. It’s about encouraging them. I mean, obviously, I can’t deal with each woman individually. I can certainly deal with the collective plight of the woman who is raising her family, and certainly, there’s an expectation there. We expect to grow up, and we expect to get married, and we expect to have a family. Along the way, though, you find that your kids are—they are going to develop into their own ways of thinking. They are going to develop in their own determinations. We are living proof of the intention of our heart, our values. By the way, just flaunted on display under our roof, at every turn trusting God because of so many challenges and, yet, here our kids are, late teens, mid-teens to late-teens, early 20’s. Our early 20-year-olds that…

Dr. Pompa:

The show is going to be about how to—getting through these kid year stuff.

Merily:

Yeah, for sure. I mean, honestly, that takes prayer and, as we’ve learned, fasting. There is so much struggle. This is just something else. I really believe, the culture that we’re living in, there is an agenda assigned to just knock our kids off course.

Dr. Pompa:

Oh, boy. I’ve seen it.

Merily:

If this is happening in our home, I know it’s happening in yours. We have solid kids, I would say. I mean, I would, but I also see the deluded thinking of the culture that is just doing its level best and better to just steal that, their own promise, their own hope, or understanding of what we know it is. We’ve already lived through it, and we’re still living through it. My heart, obviously, is to encourage the mom to know that, look, you—at a certain point, you transition from mom to coach, and there’s a transition that occurs. Your kids no longer need a mother, and by the way, they often don’t want a coach.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. We missed a lot of this transition. Trust me. Listen, right when we come back, I’m going to bring some science to this. Hang on because I think it’s going to be really fun and interesting for you so when we get back on Health Hunters.

[Break 00:27:33 – 00:27:38]

Dr. Pompa:

I had said earlier that our beliefs, our perceptions becomes who we are eventually for better or for worse. What you have to understand is this actually controls our biology. I know it sounds hokey, but let me bring some science to this. Merily is a different person. I mean, if you see her, I mean, she is no doubt fit at 50 physically. It affects our physical bodies, the way we think, our beliefs. It affects our emotions, as we pointed out, and it affects no doubt our spirit and who we are. That’s really the point here. We have to examine our beliefs and our thoughts, and we have to transform how we think about our circumstances, how we think about our illnesses, how we think about everything that comes our way for better or for worse.

Let me bring a little bit of science to it because there’s a lot of power here. I think, when I get people to understand this, it really drives them to understand that there is a physiological thing going on of why you become who you are. What people don’t realize is that our thoughts literally can drive cellular function for better or for worse. When you think a thought—there’s a stem cell biologist, Bruce Lipton. He wrote a book called Biology of Belief, so you can imagine that the title means your beliefs become your biology. What science knows now and not just this professor but others, that when we—our thoughts driver certain chemical reactions in our body that integrate with our cells, literally change our DNA, and then our DNA affects something called RNA that carries a message. Then we make certain proteins, whether that’s hormones, different tissues. It becomes who you are, so when I say the word proteins, that literally is who you become.

I kept saying our beliefs change our thoughts; our thoughts, our words; actions, habit; values, destiny. That all is really happening at the cell. Literally, it’s proven that our thoughts literally can change our DNA in our cell. Our DNA affects the RNA. Then it becomes a protein, and eventually, that is who we are. We’re looking at a bunch of tissues and proteins that literally manifest themselves from our environment, our thoughts, no doubt, our toxins exposure, our stressors of any type, but all of our external environment including our thoughts become who we are. The point is this. You can change physically who you are, emotionally who you are by changing our beliefs and therefore our thoughts.

Let me bring it home for you another way. How many of you—if I asked you, how many of you believe in the placebo effect? I think that many people would say, oh, it’s just a placebo effect. When you understand the actual statistics there, placebo effect works, meaning complete change 33% of the time. Oh and by the way, when they did a big drug trial on antidepressants, do you realize that 50% of the clinical trials for the sixth leading antidepressant drugs didn’t outperform the placebo? That was a 2002 study. I mean, that is—that’s the reality, so when you say just the placebo effect, you have to understand that you’re actually affecting proteins and therefore tissue.

There was a study done out Baylor School, University. A gentleman was doing knee surgeries. He didn’t necessarily believe in the surgery, so he was just opening the knee up and then reclosing it. What had happened was stunning. Literally, almost 100% of them were going, hey, I feel amazing, and they went around with no knee pain. Here’s the amazing part. When he realized he didn’t do anything, they actually did post MRIs, and the knee healed. Yeah, your thoughts, the thoughts of the knee being healed actually drove the actual healing, so the placebo effect is real.

Oh, there’s something called the nocebo effect. That means that if you take a group of people and tell them—let’s say we take 100 people and say this drug may cause stomach upset. There’s almost 50%, 30 to 50% of people who will get the stomach upset, even though it’s simply a pill that has nothing in it, so that’s the nocebo effect.

Merily:

[00:32:17]

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah, exactly. The point is is that our beliefs do control our biology and ultimately who we become. I’ve watched Merily become a different person physically, emotionally and spiritually because of her thoughts. She changed her belief, and it wasn’t just, hey, I’m thinking different. You said something Merily, though. You said fake it ‘til you make it.

Merily:

Yeah.

Dr. Pompa:

Guess what? I mean, I hated that comment, actually. Yeah. I hated that crap. For me, it was like I’m not faking anything, man.

Merily:

It doesn’t make you a phony. I hate that too.

Dr. Pompa:
Yeah. No. You do. I hated it because I didn’t—I have to understand the science. I’m speaking to my science group out there saying, no, wait a minute. That’s real. Your thoughts affect your DNA, your DNA, RNA, and then you make new proteins, new hormones. Then those feed back and create new thoughts because now you’re creating more hormones.

Merily:

With intentions, right?

Dr. Pompa:

Absolutely.

Merily:

The power of intention is significant.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. Yeah. Our thoughts control our biology. I wish I had my bio letter because I wrote down Proverbs 23:7. I’ll look that one up.

Merily:

I can find it.

Dr. Pompa:

You can say things. My point is this, though. You have to be—and again, I’m taking a book out of what we tell our kids. Remember the monkeys? See no evil. Hear no evil.

Merily:

Yeah. We have them. We have those monkeys.

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. We have those monkeys. So do all of you. You have those monkeys. Okay. This is a good illustration, though. I always tell my children, if you want to be successful, pay attention to these monkeys. You want to put yourself around things that you see that are powerful, people doing great things. When I watch someone do great things, my [00:33:57] brain is, well, darn, I can do that. My biology’s changing. I’m becoming a different person.

Merily:

Like I said, that has been my experience too, but the people that I’ve gravitated toward didn’t even have the kind of faith or live by what we’re living by. That would take my expectation of how God could work in our life even to that—to an exponential degree, right? They were just purely functioning on hard work, intention mindset. We’re functioning at a—resonating at a much higher level.

Dr. Pompa:

We’ve done well with this. I mean, we do put—we purposely, intentionally put ourselves around people who are making a difference, have found their purpose, living in a promise. Then when you see that, it is absolutely a—it’s much easier to become that. Then the other monkey is covering his ears, right? When you put yourself around the right circumstances and people, you are going to hear the right things. What you hear changes your thoughts, right? Your thoughts are going to change your words. Words are actions and the habits and the values and the destiny.

Merily:

I hated being around my mom most of the time because she was negative.

Dr. Pompa:

You had to hear that.

Merily:

She blamed everybody for her problems.

Dr. Pompa:

Here’s the problem. As much as you hated hearing it, it still affected your subconscious.

Merily:

Totally.

Dr. Pompa:

That’s the thing. The recordings are in our subconscious. The subconscious drives then your words, then your actions, and then your values. Then all of a sudden it’s changing your DNA. Belief controlled biology, you physically become those damn thoughts. That’s the problem.

Merily:

It’s a handicap.

Dr. Pompa:

That is. Then the last monkey is watch what you say, right?

Merily:

Speak no evil.

Dr. Pompa:

You sold me on that one. Speak no evil. Your words become your actions, and then your actions become your habits; your habits, your values; your value, your destiny. That affects your DNA. That affects your new proteins. It affects who you physically are. I mean, it’s that simple.

Merily:

Proverbs 23:7, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”

Dr. Pompa:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We have to think different, our thoughts about our circumstances, our thoughts about our spouse, who we are. Examine what was told to you as a child. Your parents, your teachers, your friends, all of those things were recorded in your subconscious. Our conscious mind drives what we do, but our subconscious mind really drives the whole show. That’s the power. That’s who we become, those recordings in our subconscious. We have to dig.

That’s what you did, Mer. You dug into those beliefs systems, the thoughts you had growing up, and you went hog wild to change those thoughts, to change ultimately your words, your actions, your destiny. You changed your DNA. You did. More importantly, your DNA through RNA changed your proteins. Your hormones changed.

Your skin changed. She looks younger now. I’m not kidding. I’m telling you, you want to look younger? You want to fix ailments? Just like the Baylor study, you have an opportunity to do so through your thoughts.

I’ll tell you another great book is Joe Dispenza who we had the pleasure of seeing in Italy. Joe wrote a book called “You Are the Placebo.” Okay. I gave the statistics on the placebo. You can become the placebo. Change the way you think, and watch what happens to your life.

Whether you have a physical ailment, emotional, you’re not happy with where your life is. You’re not in your promise. You’re not in your purpose. You are the placebo. Thirty-three percent of the time it works. Add some of the physical things that we do on Health Hunters, and you will be a different person.

Merily, thanks for being on the show. We can’t wait for Women 2 a Purpose—Women 2 Purpose. I’m sure many of our listeners will tune in with you, so there you go.

Merily:
Great, looking forward to it.
