WEBVTT 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (cough) It's flu season! What do we do? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Stay tuned. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So it's the winter time. Everybody's 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 getting sick. I was watching on the news. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It was like, in the States obviously, 43 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 states are calling this a - I don't even 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 know - national disaster, or some 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 ridiculous news-like term. But it is 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 the flu season and every year, 5-20 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 percent of the population gets the flu. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 And obviously these are state statistics, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 so I'm sorry for those of you who aren't 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 in the States but that gives you a rough 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 idea. I'm sure it's very similar 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 everywhere. But that means that a lot 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 of us are getting sick. And if we're not 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 getting sick, a lot of people around us 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 are getting sick. Aghh. For germophobes 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it's like the worst time of the year. But 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 anyway, so what do we do? We have to 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 prepare because the thing is, every year 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 over 200,000 people have hospital - bleh, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 sometimes I can't talk - hospitalizations 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 due to flu complications. And you know who 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 those people are? That end up in there? 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 The elderly, children, and people who are 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 already sick. And guess what? We sometimes 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 fall in that category. Right? Because 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we're not eating properly, we're not 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 really taking care of ourselves, and so 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 our immune system is really depressed and 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we don't really have anything to fight it 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 off. We don't have any of those good bugs 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that fight off the bad bugs. Right? I 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 think that's what they call them. But 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 anyway, like I said, I'm not a doctor. But 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 we need to prepare. And something I 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 always do every year in preparation, so 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that I am strong and I can fight, is I 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 get the flu shot. And you know now - like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 okay, one of my best friends, and I'm 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 not gonna call her out by name but I hope 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 she watches this and she laughs to 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 herself, she's deathly afraid of needles. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I mean, one year, cause she works in HR, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 they gave shots, flu shots, in the office 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 (ah!) she couldn't even handle it - so now 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it's like a tenth of the size of the 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 needle it used to be. You don't even see 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 it. It's like the smallest needle ever. So 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 for those of you who are afraid, just like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 look over to the side and like talk to 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 somebody 'cause it will be done before 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you know it and the needle is not even - 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I don't even know how it gets in to do 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 what it needs to do - so, flu shot. What 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 else do we do? We hydrate. Now I hear 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 from a lot of you, and I hear from a lot 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 of my clients, "I don't drink water 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because I'll gain water weight..." No. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Not now. Not now. Water is good. Our body 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 needs water and I know, if anything, if 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you're eating disorder is like a calorie 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 counting, then that doesn't even count. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 So please fight back against that voice. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Do my first task in my workbook. Fight 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 back, because you need to stay hydrated. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 That's like my number one most scary thing 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 that I hear from my clients is, "I don't 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 drink water." Because we can go longer 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 without food that we can water. So please 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 drink water. Okay. So we're gonna stay 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 hydrated. And we're gonna get our flu 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 shots. Yes, yes, yes. And then, take 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 preventative measures. Take vitamin C. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Drink some orange juice in the morning. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm a huge fan of Emergen-C. And no this 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is not a plug. If they were paying me that 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 would be awesome, but they're not. But 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Emergen-C is great. You can throw it in 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 your water. You shake it up. I have like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 little water bottles that I take with me 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 to work every day and I drink and fill 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 and drink and fill. Right? 'Cause I'm 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 talking all the time. La-La-La. I get 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 really dry. Water. And I just fill it with 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Emergen-C. Ta-da! I think it has like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 a thousand-whatever milligrams of 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Vitamin C to make us strong, so we can 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 fight. Right? Because the flu can really 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 take us out. And the thing that's the 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 worst is because we are already immune 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 system depressed, right? Our immune system 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 is like, "I just can't! I don't have it in 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 me! I'm gonna take a nap!" instead. But, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 because that's already happening and we 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 are already weak, and we may not be eating 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 enough, the flu really takes us out. And 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 then, guess what? Our little eating 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 disorder is like, "ha ha! I'm gonna take 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 advantage of this and I'm gonna make you 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 do this" and no more! Now you've been 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 feeling sick, you've been throwing up, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you've had a fever, no appetite, 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 'cause that's a bad side effect of getting 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 sick, right? It's like, "ha ha! We win!" 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 No! Bad! Bad eating disorder! No more! 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 Right? 'Cause it kind of takes advantage 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 of when we're down and out and it's like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 "I'm gonna get you." So, we need to 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 protect ourselves. So make sure you're 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 doing those things. Go get the flu shot. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 CVS, Walgreens - I want to say it's like 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 $10. I think I paid $10. Plus tax or 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 whatever else they want to charge you for. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 It probably cost me 15 by the time I was 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 out of there. But, do that. Get that. Get 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 some Emergen-C. They come in a box for 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 like $14, although I live in L.A. so 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 I'm probably getting screwed. It's 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 probably like $9.99 somewhere where 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 you guys are. But, get it. Pick it up. 99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999 There's Zicam.
