1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(cough) It's flu season! What do we do?

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Stay tuned.

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So it's the winter time. Everybody's

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting sick. I was watching on the news.

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It was like, in the States obviously, 43

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
states are calling this a - I don't even

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
know - national disaster, or some

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
ridiculous news-like term. But it is

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the flu season and every year, 5-20

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
percent of the population gets the flu.

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And obviously these are state statistics,

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
so I'm sorry for those of you who aren't

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
in the States but that gives you a rough

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
idea. I'm sure it's very similar

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
everywhere. But that means that a lot

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of us are getting sick. And if we're not

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
getting sick, a lot of people around us

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are getting sick. Aghh. For germophobes

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's like the worst time of the year. But

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anyway, so what do we do? We have to

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prepare because the thing is, every year

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
over 200,000 people have hospital - bleh,

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sometimes I can't talk - hospitalizations

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
due to flu complications. And you know who

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
those people are? That end up in there?

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The elderly, children, and people who are

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
already sick. And guess what? We sometimes

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fall in that category. Right? Because

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we're not eating properly, we're not

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really taking care of ourselves, and so

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
our immune system is really depressed and

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we don't really have anything to fight it

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
off. We don't have any of those good bugs

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that fight off the bad bugs. Right? I

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
think that's what they call them. But

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
anyway, like I said, I'm not a doctor. But

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
we need to prepare. And something I

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
always do every year in preparation, so

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I am strong and I can fight, is I

40
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
get the flu shot. And you know now - like

41
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
okay, one of my best friends, and I'm

42
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not gonna call her out by name but I hope

43
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
she watches this and she laughs to

44
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
herself, she's deathly afraid of needles.

45
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I mean, one year, cause she works in HR,

46
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
they gave shots, flu shots, in the office

47
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
(ah!) she couldn't even handle it - so now

48
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's like a tenth of the size of the

49
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
needle it used to be. You don't even see

50
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it. It's like the smallest needle ever. So

51
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for those of you who are afraid, just like

52
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
look over to the side and like talk to

53
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
somebody 'cause it will be done before

54
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you know it and the needle is not even -

55
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I don't even know how it gets in to do

56
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what it needs to do - so, flu shot. What

57
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
else do we do? We hydrate. Now I hear

58
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
from a lot of you, and I hear from a lot

59
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of my clients, "I don't drink water

60
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because I'll gain water weight..." No.

61
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Not now. Not now. Water is good. Our body

62
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
needs water and I know, if anything, if

63
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you're eating disorder is like a calorie

64
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
counting, then that doesn't even count.

65
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So please fight back against that voice.

66
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Do my first task in my workbook. Fight

67
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
back, because you need to stay hydrated.

68
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That's like my number one most scary thing

69
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
that I hear from my clients is, "I don't

70
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
drink water." Because we can go longer

71
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
without food that we can water. So please

72
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
drink water. Okay. So we're gonna stay

73
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
hydrated. And we're gonna get our flu

74
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
shots. Yes, yes, yes. And then, take

75
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
preventative measures. Take vitamin C.

76
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Drink some orange juice in the morning.

77
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm a huge fan of Emergen-C. And no this

78
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is not a plug. If they were paying me that

79
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
would be awesome, but they're not. But

80
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Emergen-C is great. You can throw it in

81
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
your water. You shake it up. I have like

82
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
little water bottles that I take with me

83
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to work every day and I drink and fill

84
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and drink and fill. Right? 'Cause I'm

85
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
talking all the time. La-La-La. I get

86
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
really dry. Water. And I just fill it with

87
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Emergen-C. Ta-da! I think it has like

88
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
a thousand-whatever milligrams of

89
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Vitamin C to make us strong, so we can

90
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
fight. Right? Because the flu can really

91
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
take us out. And the thing that's the

92
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
worst is because we are already immune

93
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
system depressed, right? Our immune system

94
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is like, "I just can't! I don't have it in

95
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
me! I'm gonna take a nap!" instead. But,

96
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
because that's already happening and we

97
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
are already weak, and we may not be eating

98
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
enough, the flu really takes us out. And

99
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
then, guess what? Our little eating

100
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
disorder is like, "ha ha! I'm gonna take

101
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
advantage of this and I'm gonna make you

102
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
do this" and no more! Now you've been

103
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
feeling sick, you've been throwing up,

104
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you've had a fever, no appetite,

105
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
'cause that's a bad side effect of getting

106
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sick, right? It's like, "ha ha! We win!"

107
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
No! Bad! Bad eating disorder! No more!

108
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Right? 'Cause it kind of takes advantage

109
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
of when we're down and out and it's like

110
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
"I'm gonna get you." So, we need to

111
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
protect ourselves. So make sure you're

112
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
doing those things. Go get the flu shot.

113
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
CVS, Walgreens - I want to say it's like

114
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
$10. I think I paid $10. Plus tax or

115
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
whatever else they want to charge you for.

116
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
It probably cost me 15 by the time I was

117
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
out of there. But, do that. Get that. Get

118
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
some Emergen-C. They come in a box for

119
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
like $14, although I live in L.A. so

120
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I'm probably getting screwed. It's

121
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
probably like $9.99 somewhere where

122
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
you guys are. But, get it. Pick it up.

123
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
There's Zicam.
