You're about to see my doctor, Justin.

Major.

So I'm a hypochondriac, and I'm an old guy who's scared.

I'm scared about diseases, and I'm going for this big blood test several years ago.

Very expensive.

All kinds of details I don't wanna know anything about.

And someone supposed to call me after.

And this guy calls this Dr Justin Major.

And I've never heard a doctor talk that way.

And I never felt so comfortable.

What made Justin so good was that he could synthesize Eastern medicine.

Western Medicine Lab tests me as a human being.

He looked at me as a person and used a lot of what he felt in his evaluation of my medical conditions.

So, Justin, tell me, um, as you look at medicine, tell me where you came from.

What kind of medicine you practiced when you first started.

And what you see changing in the way you perceive it would stop in mind for me.

It's just that I actually came from no medicine.

You know, I grew up on the margins of not having adequate healthcare.

Ah, and therefore I didn't really have a lot of exposure to medicine.

Western medicine.

Uh, growing up, I just I had more of a spiritual religious upbringing that, you know, it's planted in me.

Ah, lot of curiosity about, um, health and disease and miracles and healing.

And I think that that all wrecked reflected my own inner deep, sort of desire to seek out my own health and wellbeing and healing in my own life.

What kind of spiritual background that you're talking about when you were growing up, the religious and spiritual backgrounds in my home was Christianity, you know, you know, particularly things like the restoration of sight to a blind person.

You know, when I heard those stories, Not only that, that sort of was like, Wow, this was a, you know, powerful, divine being that was able to offer these, but also other important aspects that the fact that it could happen to somebody in their life that they could be blind and then see and and then oftentimes Christ would comment to people that he had healed.

Your faith has made you you made you hold your faith has made you whole and that really, um really captured my imagination because it also sort of honored that person they participated in their healing.

It wasn't something that was just done to them there there was a receiving of healing or participation in one's healing.

And I think that that inform you on on very deep levels before, had any idea or a notion that I was going Thio pursue a career, and that is looking at the whole person.

I'd like it up, describing your own terms based on things you're looking at.

What are you seeing when you're looking at the whole person?

I since the person I sensed the person, what is their energy?

Are they?

Are they an intense person that might be holding back energy?

Or they a really apathetic person that has low energy and not a lot of fire in them?

I look at their mannerisms.

I hear their voice and what that voice might be telling me.

I look at eye movements, you know there's the's disciplines where it's you're listening to the story, but you're also observing and studying the storyteller themselves, you know, and I'm not sure I think there's a physician, ah, famous position and Dr Peabody at Harvard maybe the turn of the 19th century.

If I'm recalling this correctly and he has this statement that said that it's it's more important to know what type of person has the disease has the disease than what disease the person has do.

Have you seen that evidence than your own medical practice?

Dealing is fundamental to our biological systems.

It's been built in alone the arc of humanity and life.

And so, you know, even if you were to cut yourself and need to have stitches to help stabilize that your body still primarily heels that down onto the cellular level and knits it back together in forms the appropriate scars that the suitors air just there to help stabilize ones, um, healing process on.

So that's what I really want to promote is that you're able to heal.

And, um, I'm just a partner on your journey.

How I looked at it and still look at it.

Except when you tell me not to look at it that way.

Is I'm Well, I'm well, I'm well.

Oh, my God.

I'm sick now.

I'm sick now.

I'm sick.

I gotta go to Justin because he knows how to fix being sick.

Here's Here's what I'd like to share.

The attitude that I take is that there is a spectrum between optimal health and well being and disease and dysfunction, and all of us are somewhere along that spectrum.

And it's a matter of sort of assessing where somebody is and promoting them towards healing and optimal health and wellbeing.

What I'm trying to do is sort of meet the person.

How are they feeling?

What's their subjective experience of themselves?

Can I use data and analytics and bio markers to understand that better?

Is it showing me that there's concerning states of dis regulation glucose, this regulation or high blood pressure?

Um, and I'm trying to understand that with the client with the person and help move them towards, um, wellness.

You know, 80% of the diagnoses and medicine to me are just Latin words for what they're describing.

So if you have inflammation of the skin and you go and you talk to a dermatologist and my skin is red and it's itchy and it's raised and I don't like well, yeah, you have a topic dermatitis.

Well, dermatitis is just latin for inflammation of the skin uh, you know, and again, they're useful.

They wanted it.

You want to make sure that it's not something that we've recognized as being dangerous on.

And yes, they have some tools for alleviating or Ameliorating those symptoms or for treating.

And maybe it's a fungal infection of the skin that needs an anti, um, microbial agent or an antifungal therapy to sort of restore the skin.

So, you know, we want to use health.

Uh, we want to use our medical professionals, but at the same time you can you can see the limitations.

You know, when the medical system is extraordinarily good at, um, acute situations, chest pain, heart attacks, accidents, illnesses that get out of control in your system starts to destabilize.

Great.

We need the medical system but the medical system from a preventative standpoints or from a promotion of health and well being, which, by the way, I think is the best way to prevent diseases to promote health and well being.

You know, we're not designed as a system t meet those needs as well.

I assume that most of the viewers watching this have something wrong because most of us do, and that's what?

People search on YouTube and we're watching this on YouTube.

Let's say diabetes.

Yes, I got it, or I don't got it.

I've been on the border of it for 15 years now.

I have it.

Um, I come to you, don't you do what everybody else does.

And if you don't, what is driving you towards a different perspective towards diabetes?

Where is that coming from?

Give me a sense of how you look at this particular illness.

No, if I were to look at somebody with glucose, dis regulation or diabetes, I view this both from, like, a western medical perspective of Okay.

What?

What?

How what is the degree of the glucose dis regulation on, whatever our markers, that we can look at the sort of assess how imbalanced the metal the metabolism of this individual person is.

And we'll look at a hemoglobin, a one c and we'll look att, fasting, blood sugar levels and look at fasting insulin levels.

And look, if there's, you know, glucose spilling out into the urine, which shouldn't be there.

And then I have sort of from my own upbringing, that sort of also led me to explore Eastern philosophies.

I studied yoga quite a bit during medical school, and, um, I saw how they viewed sort of shock rose thes energy areas that that they sort of have labeled along the spine up the body and the third chakra corresponds to sort of the solar plexus at the top of the abdominal cat are at the above the belly button say, which actually happens to correlate to sort of the pancreas, the main metabolic glucose regulator of the body.

And when you see the relational thing, the relational ways that people look at that chakra, it's about will and control.

And I've seen some beautiful correlation to how people regulate their willing control center as to how it translates into glucose metabolism.

You know, most people will get locked up into sort of while you're over consuming either sugar directly or over consuming resource is, and you're not exercising and doing enough.

I actually think that there is.

There's more essential problems of how somebody relates to themselves and relates to the outer world around them.

That would lead them to sort of intense feelings of either worry or frustration with themselves or the world, but then exhausting depletes them in their bodies, is wanting to get extra resource is and not feeling like it wants to expend resources.

Says it doesn't feel safe and in control.

I've heard you describe that you actually almost feel you Comptel a diabetic type of person.

And also you have seen changes in these numbers and this suffering the person has based on the way you see it so rather than the abstract, I miss you.

Have you practiced what you preach here?

Have you practiced what you see and are you seeing anything happen?

That's good, that's better.

Yes, certainly I five worked with clients who have improved their glucose metabolism or their diabetes and have reduced this dis regulation through working on their relationship to themselves and their lives.

And, you know, these are, yes, these air anecdotal stories.

I've also worked with people that have had the glucose, this regulation that did not get better or we're in denial and did an intimate I'm not trying to blame them.

And and by all means, um, you know, I'm a student of life and I believe that I'll be a student of life for the net, you know, for the foreseeable future.

So I passed.

So I I haven't figured this all out, but I have a strong sense of it, and I've seen folks improved.

I've been able to take people off some of their diabetic medications and have seen there hemoglobin a one c numbers decrease by helping them change the relationship to themselves and therefore how they relate to their wife in their life in their career.

To me, you're a very unusual doctor because the doctor in my life was God.

That's how I experienced the doctor so frightening.

The doctor is going to tell me good, bad, not a person.

By revealing your own self where you're struggling, you become a person to me.

And then you asked me to look at myself.

I really pay attention to the emotions, and I've really learned to trust my intuition and and And I could tap into this, you know, as far back as in medical training in an emergency room.

I can look at a client, and I intuitively will know to worry Maur or less about them.

Ah, and there is a sense that, um, that I was able to tap into so so often times like when I meet new clients within, you know, maybe 3 to 5 minutes of meeting them.

Aiken, I have a good sense of sort of like, um, how concerning this, You know how How, how significant of a situation of pain and suffering, You know, whether that's physical, psychological emotional that somebody is in and sort of how open and ready they are towards healing and in transformation and say, early in my career, you know, based on party to my own insecurity of, like, here, I'm a physician, and I need to have the solutions and answers.

I used to just ask questions with the idea of, like, I'm looking for key words or process until I could be like, Ha, ha.

This is what it is.

And this is what we're gonna do and I know it, and I'm gonna help you versus, you know, I'm a lot more honest and with people like a you know what?

I'm not sure that I can help you.

I'm gonna try, and I'm gonna show up, and I flustered and believe in my skill set.

But this is a process that is in.

They are the CEO of their own process.

You are my doctor.

You have helped me enormously deal with my own insecurities and anxieties as much as my medical issues.

It's my insecurities and anxieties.

It's the worry about the future about tomorrow, about what this means that damages my daily life.

And that's why I'm doing this with you.

I hope to doom.

Or, um and I hope that people who see this react and give you and me a sense of what they're dealing with and what they think and how they feel your comments about yourself.

I absolutely agree with you.

And one of the things I would add to me in my perspective of you that's really enduring is it that in spite of the insecurity and the worry, uh, you know, you have this, um, zest for life and for meeting in this eye for purpose in this real interest and curiosity of being part of it and bringing forth these, like, beautiful gems that people often don't see or may not notice.

And that purpose and that drive for you is sort of this vital force that you have that enables you to be sort of, um uh this this young seventies guy that's fun and full of energy and fun Thio be with him, Play in the sandbox with And so, uh, thank you.

And I appreciate your presence in my life and our relationship because it's those types of rich and meaningful relationships that that really, we want to show up for each other.

We want to do our best, and we want to bring forth the best on each other.

And so it's easy season play with you.

Now, look, we're almost done.

I just want to say one thing.

You do, You promise, is my doctor that I'm going to live to 92 healthy.

I'd like to live to 92 healthy.

Justin, I'd like you to guarantee that.

And maybe 200.

Not so healthy, but still being taken care of by you.

Can you make that get sort of guarantee to me so I can end this interview feeling good about myself in you?

Uh, okay.

What was far is, um no guarantees.

Uh, you know, there are no guarantees in life.

Ah, and and that's part of you know, I think that's part of the wonder of, uh, part of the wonder of life.

You know, what I have, you know, shared with you and promised you is that, you know, if you are sensitive in attuned to your body and willing to engage in its end to really cultivate your best health and vitality right now that it is your, um that's your best strategy going forward, in my opinion, you know, is be healthy now.

And if if there are parts that don't work well, or if your energies offer your digestion is off or sleep all of these things that you know it disease, what is?
