Have you ever given much thought to your breath, how you are breathing and ultimately how it is affecting your ability to stay in the zone?

After a car accident and a year of experimentation my guest Dr. David Rubenstein, Ph.D. found one simple motion that took about 80% of his pain away in roughly 30 seconds. This was the first time in 3 years that he had that much relief.

…and so began the journey of trying to understand what happened, how it worked, what he could do to improve it and figure out how he could share it with people everywhere.

In 2007 he opened his doors to the public treating everything from military to civilian forms of PTSD, stress, to chronic pain, anxiety and depression.

So if you are tired of the stress, dealing with chronic pain and are ready to put yourself in the zone more often and for longer then join me and Dr David as he talks about what it means to breathe properly and how it can help you create your own quantum revenue expansion.

Hi, everyone, and welcome back to quantum revenue

expansion, the podcast, super excited to have you back and

welcome to 2022. I hope this year is getting kicked off for

you in an exciting way. And this year, I am going to be really

intentional. I'm always really intentional. We know that but

extra intentional about who's coming on the show, and experts

who can bring you that quantum revenue growth. Right now, right

here. And today I have a very special guest, Dr. David ruins,

Rubenstein on high level focus and concentration for quantum

leaps in health and success, all the things. So Dr. David,

welcome to the show.

Thank you. Thank you for the opportunity.

Yeah, I'm so excited to talk to Well, first of all, I love

talking to entrepreneurs who are very successful. And I love

talking to entrepreneurs who are in the healing health wellness

space, because I think there's this myth that you know, you get

to make all your clients very successful, very healthy, all

the things, but it's not okay for you to do well. And that's

such a myth that we dispel on the show. So excited to talk

about your journey as well jumping in a moment. Before we

do that, I just want to say hello to our listeners all over

the world. Thank you for jumping on Thank you for listening. If

you haven't yet, go to the homepage, because we have a gift

for you, you go to Ursula inc.co. And you can download our

free masterclass quantum revenue expansion. It's all about how to

take your business to the next level this year. And it's so

easy like you literally can't miss it. On the homepage. During

the training three parts, we talked about how to create a

brand new revenue container and what that means to take that

quantum leap. In other words, how to two extra 10 Extra

revenue, how to then uplevel, your pricing your packages and

your marketing, but really what you need to tweak to get to that

next level. And during the last class, we talked about how to

collapse time and reach your quantum revenue goal even

faster. Now you guys know I've grown multi million dollar

companies, this isn't fluff. This is what it really takes.

And it's also from the perspective of strategy and

quantum thinking strategy and intentional thinking, we marry

those things on the show. Anyway. So grab that for

yourself. And then some of you I know are thinking about hanging

out at the next 2x intensive, I just want to welcome you to that

course this year, come and join us come and play. You can go to

Ursula ink.co forward slash apply. There's just a little

quick application there, fill it out, send it to us, we'll send

you the details of the course. And because your listener you

also get a special little package with that. So that's all

I'm gonna say definitely reach out. We'd love to support you

there. That's all my housekeeping. All right, Dr.

David, let me let me introduce you to our listeners. Dr. David

Rubenstein PhD has an extensive background in exercise science

and kinesiology. He has pioneered listen to this the

most successful new pain management system yet ever

tested. According to third party examination, after inventing

neuro muscular calibration, he returned to school to pursue his

doctoral degree in Medical Science to better understand the

nature of the breakthroughs from this invention. His clinic is in

Huntington Beach, shout out to California, I missed it. I lived

there 16 years. It's where he teaches and certifies new

practitioners for civilian and military competency as well as

providing treatment for his patients. So many things I want

to talk about. So first, though, welcome. And I want to hear your

story because this sounds like an interesting journey that

you've been on, that's brought you to this moment.

Sure. I guess it starts with an injury I had with myself a small

car accident that produced a large injury. And I couldn't

find any really successful ways to treat the injury. And at the

time, the success rate for surgery surgical procedure was

5%. So that was off the table. And so I began exploring ways to

self treat. And after a year of experimentation, really, I found

this one simple motion that almost instantly took all the

pain away in about in about 30 seconds and about 80% of the

pain. First time in three years that that I had felt that much

relief. And I couldn't understand What actually had

happened even though exercise science was my bread and butter.

And so that began a journey of trying to understand what

happened there. And eventually it came to me what it was that

happened and I began to expand that that little piece of

knowledge and it grew and grew and grew and grew into protocols

of which we have 170 standard protocols and about times to

have protocols for people that have unusual disorders and

situations. But we treat with these protocols. We treat

everything from military and civilian forms of PTSD to

chronic pain, we treat addiction successfully. Anything to do

with depression, anxiety, those are easy treatments for what we

do. And we're also probably the, I have to say we're in, we're in

competition for maybe being the best, most comprehensive and

effective breathing system on the planet right now. And I say

that with a little trepidation, because I have great respect for

a variety of different breathing treatments that are out there.

It's just that ours been has been designed and custom

tailored to all things that have to do with stress. And so so the

story has been that, you know, since about in 2007, when I

opened a commercial office for the purpose of sharing this work

with the public. I've also been, you know, recently, especially

looking to replicate and teach other people how to do the

protocols that we have. And there's a couple of seminal

moments and one of them I want to share with you, I, I went out

in and sought out the advice of 32 different medical doctors.

And he just had one question for him. So what's what's the, if he

had to put it to one thing, let's do one reason why people

walk through that door. And a kind of hemmed and hawed and

they say, stress. And that's really the reason that leads to

a variety of different health problems. And at the time, I was

just treating chronic pain very successfully. In fact, our

successful or success rate of creating Trump treating chronic

pain is 94%. And if you compare that to say, chiropractic or

acupuncture, there's this 33 and 34%, respectively, those are my

numbers, those that are National Institutes of Health. Right. So,

so I knew I was onto something. And what I was really just doing

is, is I was hunting for a way to create to treat chronic pain

at a particularly with athletes, which will bring us into the

next part of the conversation. Because athletes, the biggest

problem with athletes is actually not skill level,

particularly at higher levels. It's concentration and focus.

And I've interviewed, I don't know, countless, college and

professional and Olympic level athletes are their coaches. And

I said, I asked them the same question. If I could do one

thing for your athletes, what would it be? It's been the same

answer 100% of the time happened last week. And that is get them

to focus and concentrate better. So where did the idea the zone

was everybody's familiar with what the zone is? And that's a

transplantable idea from athletics to business, actually,

it translates very, very well. In the 1968 Olympics,

a group of physiologist wanted to see using EEG scans if the

scan of the brain, what did the brain look like when the athlete

won? And what did it look like when they lost? It turns out, it

distilled out some very interesting, consistent

patterns. And this is where the birth of the idea of the zone

came from. And sometime later, it becomes became a fancy name

called neuronal synchronicity. But the phrase the zone stuck

and still to this day. So for example, top executives will

have during any given day, and they may argue with us about

this, but the sciences in they'll have about 90 minutes of

being actually in the zone for an eight hour shift. Not very

efficient. Our process turns out into five and a half hours. And

so that's a very large magnitude of difference because it's not

just cumulative. If you've got three or four times more zone

time, that converts into higher higher level thinking and

strategy and execution. So So I went looking for a couple of

little things and without my intention, found a whole bunch.

So that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I love it. Okay, we're gonna unpack this. Dr. David, I have a

lot of questions for okay, because I let my clients know

this. I read, you know, two, three, sometimes more books at a

time per week like I'm an avid searcher I'm a seeker. I'm

always learning. I love to find the hacks. How do I go from here

to here? Much faster? Right? I'm sure you can relate to that.

Yes, I probably when you said nine years, I also like some

might try to diagnose me with a DD or ADHD, which I've had to

like Hone over the years, I just have an active brain who knows

what that means. I don't like putting labels on things. So

anyway, bring it all back. You talk about being in the zone?

Tell us what I like to hear from the expert. How? How? And then

we'll unpack it even more. But how does this How has this

played out? In your life? And in in growing your business? Like

how do you stay in zone because based on how you're dressed,

you're still a practitioner, as well as the CEO of your business

leading your business? Right? So you, you juggle a lot of things,

but how do you use what you've created to be successful? In

your day to day life?

Thank you for the question. That's a good question. So

there's a couple of very simple things that work. Number one,

your breathing has to be supportive of being in the zone

or you will not be in the zone. People think that the zone is

the result of the will being applied very sternly, in a

direction. And that may be a component, but much of that is

actually just a survival instinct, believe it or not,

meaning that if you're not able to stay in the zone, or get into

the zone, and stay there for any length of time, what do you have

to help you? Well, most people's answer is to increase the

intentionality increase the intensity of their will, in

their mind. And although this has some promise to it, the law

of decreasing return soon applies. And the more will you

use, the more energy drain it creates, and the less return

over time it provides. So and that's partially a breathing

problem. And when I say breathing problem, I can

simplify it for your audience and say like this, the faster

you breathe, the less you're going to be in the zone, and the

story. And if you're not able to breathe diaphragmatic, Lee

parenthese, just because your belly moves forward and backward

has nothing to do whatsoever, that you're actually breathing

with your diaphragm. And my company has the only test I know

of that actually tests to rule in or rule out that you're

actually using your diaphragm. And the reason that's important

is that the diaphragm essentially pulls more air to

the lower part of the lungs, where there's a larger amount of

air transport ability, then in the upper half, the chest

muscles are good at pulling the air in to around halfway down.

Now, some air gets below that, but not significantly. So with

these shaped the shape of the lungs, or a pyramid, and so

you've got to get air into the lower half. And it's not a

coincidence that most of the time when there are there's a

sickness in the lungs, it's in the lower half. And so you've

got to get air into the lower half by diagrammatically.

Breathing. This has the effect of slowing the breath. As the

breath slows the velocity of oxygen making it to particularly

your brain cells goes up. So breathing needs to be the

foundation of being in the zone. If you want to be in the zone

for extended periods of time. Certainly. It's a requirement. I

don't believe that there's another way because I'm a big

believer in the will but I'm a bigger believer in the body's

physiological makeup. Because everything that makes up our

personality. It's in the container of our physiology. And

you said something about maybe some people said you had a DD or

ADHD or something like that.

Doesn't seem so to me. And I like to leave the personality of

a person alone. Because it's not very malleable anyway. You know,

how much do people actually change their personality?

Studies have been very conclusive for very long time

that it just doesn't change. But our physiology, very changeable,

very malleable, very instructable, and very

transformable. And so what we do here at Our institute is to

enhance the physiology starting with the breathing in such a way

that the brain emotions and thinking processes are optimized

very quickly. And very quickly part is an important part. Why?

Because we're highly motivated when we see a very handsome

return on a small amount of effort. Yes, that's exciting. So

So and people in our first session here, it's very common

that people will say that it is the most calm and peaceful and

quiet minded. They ever remember being in their entire life. And

it's for a very simple reason. We take the stress hormones of

cortisol, adrenaline, norepinephrine, and we simply

turn them off. And we enhance the serotonin and dopamine in

the first session, and is a fantastic feeling. And the zone

is just boom, it's just right there for you. But without any

work, no will required.

I grew up on a farm. And so I grew up with a lot of will,

right. That's what we were raised with work hard work hard,

right? Yeah. And, and that made sense. When you take that into

the corporate world, it doesn't make sense. So I had chronic

shingles for like, seven years, I was a top performer, but I got

sick, right. And so I've been on this journey. And our listeners,

you know, have heard me share the story. I've just been on

this journey, this healing journey for so long. So it's

interesting when you talk with us, so I'm going to share

because I we're gonna keep unpacking this, all right. For

me, it is like for me to get into the zone quickly. It's

exercise, like at, you know, I love I'm a morning soul, I love

to be up early, I'll be at the gym at you know, 536 it's very

peaceful, and I'm in the zone, and I will I there's a cafe

there and I can go out down there and you know, write for

like two hours, like in the zone. I will honestly say

maintaining that, especially when there's distractions, or

there's, you know, just everything like, once I'm back

in the office for real, you know, I'm not. And side note, he

said something very interesting. He talks about how, when you

support people in this way, the serotonin goes up, cortisol goes

down, serotonin goes up. achieving that, naturally, is

almost unbelievable, like the way you're talking about it.

Because I also come from a history of family members who

suffer from a great deal of depression, like, like family

lines of depression, both, you know, and I've talked about this

publicly, my parents and I share this, and it's something that I

really pay attention to, because I can literally sometimes I feel

like I can measure my serotonin drop out, like, well, like, I

got to work on that. So we all might not be able to get to

Huntington Beach. I know you do have some other exercises.

There's other ways we'll talk about that the end. But like

anything else, that the cow, I guess, for my brain that saying,

Wow, this almost sounds impossible, which I'm sure you

get all the time, which is probably why you love what you

do, because you're like, come on and experience it for yourself.

So I love this because it feels so Quantum. What else do you

want to add? Like, you know, is it how does it differ from say

meditation because maybe somebody's saying, Oh, I

meditate and I get into the zone or I exercise? What else would

you what do you want to share?

Well, there's a follow on piece to the answer your original

question, which is how do I maintain my zone. And another

part of that is walking. And I don't know I'm a past fitness

professional. I don't really do much in the fitness industry

these days. And I advocate walking seven days a week,

three, four miles a day is a is a good way to do it. But not at

a fitness pace. At all, what I like to call a do to do to do

pace. I know that pace Yeah. So the what the walk becomes is a

enjoyable look forward to activity that has a side benefit

that most people have never heard of. And that is it helps

to create neuronal synchronicity in the brain. Because walking is

a contralateral activity. That means that as my left leg moves

forward, my right arm moves forward with it. So the upper

and lower bodies are doing exactly opposite to each other.

And walking is something that makes it necessary for my right

hemisphere and my left hemisphere to work, excuse me

very well together. And Einstein is known for his long walks and

he took long walks a lot because he had two kinds of problems to

solve mathematical ones and relationship ones. Like most

people, most people have relationships. have challenges,

married or not doesn't matter relationships are usually for

most people at the top of the hierarchy of things that they

are involved in, that involve them that evoke the most

powerful emotions. And that matters the most to people. And

so to solve some of his relationship problems, he would

take very long 789 10 mile walks, and he would come back

with some solutions. And so I believe very strongly in a

breeding program and a walking program, and we have also a

formal stretching program that we teach every single patient,

it's the same program, because at the end of the day, our

structure, whether male or female is the same in terms of

the neuro muscular and fascial systems of the body. So our

stretch program targets the fascia, even more aggressively

than it does the muscles. And that's because the fascia is a

much more difficult issue to keep flexible than the muscles.

So this triad of simple activities, which I mean,

they're really simple, how hard is it to walk, breathing

techniques are very easy to learn, and they're not there,

they're not skill based techniques, I think it's very

important to make this point to your audience. Everything we do

here at our offices, is to evoke a reflexive reaction in the

body. Without standing over someone, hey, I want you to do

it this way, do it that way, that's not how we do things

here. We provide a set of stimulus type things that make

the body automatically do the right thing the first time. So

we don't need more skills. So the it's really affirmative to

the idea that, I think is a popular and, and potent idea

that that the resources for our well being really are already

contained within. And so it's very uplifting to see the

evidence of that, so that it's so prodigious the evidence for

it. That's not a little couple of side techniques kind of

think, no, it's an every single process, we use, because reflex

is much more reliable than response.

Response is something that implies a choice in the matter

reflex is automatic. So when we do the first process of

breathing, which is to turn the diaphragm back on called a

diaphragm activation, we use a process that automatically turns

it on it works 100% of the time, I'm a scientist, I don't feel

comfortable using the word 100%. Sure, but I have to tell the

truth as a scientist also, it's never not worth not ever in 10s

of 1000s of cases. So rather than teaching people these

cumbersome words, wordy instructions on how to breathe,

we get their system to breathe, and we just get them to notice

how it works. Okay,

I have like, I have a page of questions added on to my

questions. So we're going to talk really fast. Okay. So, but

that was what I was going to ask you. Because, you know, we live

in an information age, there's so much information out there,

right? We know, it's good to exercise, we know all these

things, and yet, we don't do them. Right. So, so So how do

you support? I mean, obviously, if they're coming to you, they

have a desire, they have an intention, they're there because

they want to get better they want to change. But you're also

talking about this being kind of a reflex. So it's like you're

you're training the body to do a lot of these things. How do you

help people stay committed to this program is that, you know,

does it happen pretty quickly how many times they have to see

you I'm just curious, like what that looks like?

Well, we have 12 session program, that each session is

two hours long, so they're robust sessions a lot happens in

two hours. But once they're done with that program, they do not

need to repeat the program. We we have a maintenance program.

Only one in 10 people that we work with, which tend to be very

specialized cases. Ever Need a maintenance program? Because

what we're doing is a reflex, it actually changes the data

storage in the brain from which we execute programs that have us

breathe a certain way. So once a person has been triggered into

breathing properly, their system will never forget it, unless

they have some sort of head trauma, then they would have to

be re initialized. But even then it's 1/10, the effort to learn

the whole process. So learning through reflex is so much

faster, and it's permanent. I mean, nothing in the universe is

permanent. But insofar as the lifespan of a human being

calling that lifespan permanent, this is permanent. Because it's

a brain activity, it's it doesn't have anything to do with

the diaphragm. Look, our muscles are dumb as a boxer rocks, okay,

they're dumb. They just do what they're told or not. That's it.

There's not a lot of intelligence in the muscles

themselves. Yeah, intelligence is up here. And all the control

mechanisms related to that are up here and back in the back of

the brain, and spinal cord. And so that's where the intelligence

is. And so I take advantage of that fact. And news reflex to

get the brain to do all the heavy lifting. Which means that

the reflex to alter its fundamental way of breathing, or

walking, as the case may be, is contained within the brain. And

we get the brain just to stay in charge. So we don't have to redo

it. I hate paying for the same real estate twice. You know what

I mean?

Yeah, you're training the brain. The brain is gonna act from a

place of reflex and remembering and what's interesting. So a

couple other things. You talked about Einstein walking a lot, I

definitely, I used to be a heavy I was a track. I wouldn't want

to say star but I was, I was pretty good at track. And

anyway, what's, uh, yeah, so I, you know, I learned at a young

age, the power in that and the importance and, and I'm glad

that I did all that training. At the same time. I've, I've done

some programs that are pretty intense, you know, in my adult

years, some workout and stuff like that. It didn't serve me,

it did not serve me. Well. In fact, I, you know, I've quickly

figured out I'm like, Oh, I'm, I'm exercising like crazy, but

it's just driving the cortisol up, and I actually feel worse

and all the things that cortisol does to your body. So I figured

that I laga. I love the walking keys. And you know, you're

talking about Einstein, j two, what I'm curious about is, you

know, you said this, you kind of found some information, you

found some more? Did you find it? Or did this information find

you? Like, was it a divine download? Like, are you out

walking, and your best ideas come through? Like, I'm just

curious about that.

Know that whenever I get this question, which is only once in

a while, so it always feels very, very deeply personal to

me. Because I had hundreds of occasions where I felt seized by

the information. Yeah. And I would say 80 or 90% of all the

components that form the neuromuscular calibration

protocols came from a divine source. And, and then what I

would do is say, Wow, that seems to be true. And then go research

and find is there evidence that this crazy ideas actually true

and applicable? Yes. And this part of it things started when I

was a very young lad of eight years old. And and then after

becoming an exercise professional, I really was

adamant about coming up with a system that was transformative

to people with no BS. And its number one goal, from the

beginning, was the result had to last. I was utterly

disinterested in and still to this day, I have no interest in

something that lasts two or three days. Forget it. That's

That's not me. It's not. I'm not open to even such ideas. Sure.

Because that's not that's not ethical.

Gotcha. Yeah. So yeah, I've accepted my own intuitiveness

over the years. And it's interesting Definitely, it's

great for our clients just because there are certain things

that I just get a lot of, we call them divine downloads here,

right, that information that comes through and I was curious,

I just kind of I felt that around you, as you were talking,

you were kind of skating around it. I know, like, in this place

space, we talk about this kind of thing a lot. And it's just,

unfortunately, it hasn't fully caught up in the rest of the

world. So I get you know, as humans, we like things packaged,

we want to know how they work, we want to know, you know, and

then and then it's just easier for us to take on. I have an

eight year old son, we have an eight year old son, my husband,

I and I think to myself, you know, I just imagine what he's

gonna know someday. And really, if you studied like Tesla and

others, kind of what they were working on and what they knew,

and just then the world kind of went upside down. And we made

everything hard again, and it's like, I think we're going to be

swinging back to that place. Anyway, all that to say, thank

you for sharing that. Because I want to encourage our listeners

all over the world to trust the divine downloads to trust the

intuitive hits that you get, because y'all get them. The

question is, are we listening? And do we do anything with them?

And you've definitely done a lot with them. I do want to ask, and

if this, you know, we ask all the things here, when you were

talking about, you know, the lungs, and you know how they're

shaved and everything, of course, I was thinking about,

we're still in a pandemic. COVID is one of those things that has

targeted people's lungs pretty aggressively. And I'm imagining

you might have come across some people or some people have come

to your practice to work on their lungs before, during or

after COVID Any thoughts you want to share there?

Yeah, what comes to mind is the the after effects that many

people have, with the long hollers as they're called, which

I think is a very poor name for it. It's a COVID syndrome,

that's a syndrome was a collection of symptoms with a

common source. And so it should be called COVID syndrome. And

you know, there's a, there's a sort of 15 Point List of some

major ones, and half again, as many unusual ones. And the key

is to use the diaphragm, so that the air can get into the base of

the lungs. In this time, I'm going to tell it to the audience

a little bit differently. The key here to healing is oxygen,

there's no healing without oxygen. And secondly, there's no

significant healing without quality sleep. So there's a sort

of a different triad that I like to share with people. We work

very hard to preserve and protect people's ability to be

mobile, particularly standing on their feet and to be mobile, and

to acquire and maintain high quality sleep. And to do those

things, you have to breathe well, you can't breathe well.

And sleep well, it's not physically possible. In fact,

80% of all the diagnoses for sleep disorders are simply

breathing disorders. Wow. That's what it is, right there in the

DSM, it says and describes that it's a breathing disorder. And

here's the code for it. So the ability to stay up on their feet

is a big, big deal. Because when we can't be mobile, and we lose

the ability to exercise and move our bodies. Well, the prognosis

for such a situation is very dismal. very dim. And there's

there's a reason why most of our body is muscle. Because we're

designed, we're creatures of motion. We're not creatures of

immobility. And and I gotta tell you, I, in my personal opinion,

I don't know that this is going to land so well with some of

your audience. But I don't think technology is going to save us.

You got to move your body. What technology is going to do that

for you? You got to move your body. There's no way around

that. And to the extent you do not. So will your health go

though in a downward direction. And so this is the divine design

of our system, our body. The first chapter in my most recent

book in on fitness, was called the divine design, and really

the key to my success, and what I've been doing is I'm

maniacally parallel to the design of our Body, and I won't

come off of that design for any reason. And that's the that's

the key. That's the secret of my success.

Yeah. Beautiful. All right, so we could talk all day, and you

have practice around and patients and all the things. So

resources, tell us about your website, where are your

resources, your books, and then we'll move into like, you know,

someone lives in near you how they can find you, where there's

other practitioners, and what to do if we want to meet with you

virtually or your team.

Okay, let's do virtual first, we have a virtual program, and we

can get your breathing working for you very well. From a

virtual standpoint, we use some techniques where your body

position helps to invigorate the diaphragm muscle, that's got to

be the first step because that's where you're going to get better

oxygenation from and which will lead to better sleep. Our

website is www. Rubenstein method.com. And you can reach

out to us through our website and find a number of resources

there that will lead you to if you want to be a practitioner,

or if you just have some questions. We have a training

for practitioners coming up, we also have a training coming up

for chiropractors, we're certifying chiropractors in a

limited number of our techniques that are germane to their

practice, for example, the low back and the upper cervical

regions. These are major issues in the chiropractic industry.

And we have some solutions to some long standing problems that

I believe that they've been looking for also. And so that's

coming up in mid February, and the trainings coming up for

practitioners in early March. So think that answers most of those

questions. Yeah,

we will put all of that in the show notes as well. So our

clients and listeners can just go there. And then any tell us

about your books, any other resources or anything else on

your website and your testimonials on there, too. I'm

looking at those those were great.

Yeah, we have a lot of testimonials. Some of them are,

are quite dramatic. Frankly speaking a lot of people that

end up your it my practice, have kind of gone everywhere else.

And they've got some unique problems. And we're really good

at solving unique problems. And I'm currently writing two books

at the same time. glutton for punishment, I think one is

almost complete. It's on military version PTSD. I believe

it's my personal opinion, that vast swathes of the population

at large, I believe it's above 80% have some form of PTSD.

That's just my, my opinion, based on, you know, my 17 years

experience of doing this. The book on addiction, it says it's

probably about three more months before I'll be finished with

that one uses a lot of the same principles, honestly. But there

are some unique challenges within the addiction community,

that they're not given access to some very simple tools that make

a black and white difference, both on recovery and relapse.

I'm a firm believer that the cause to addiction is actually

the chronic stress cycle, which is illuminated a little bit on

my website and in the books. And it's same with the PTSD. It's

not the trauma that actually causes the collection of

symptoms that is PTSD. It is the chronic stress syndrome that

causes the actual diagnosis of PTSD. Think of a lightning

strike. And it starts a fire. You don't go hunting for the

lightning strike, you deal with the fire, the fire is the

problem. And so too, is it with PTSD. It has to be that you're

looking at the collection of symptoms instead of the

originating cause. And I also don't find the psychological

community is going to be mad at me for saying this, but I'm

going to say what I what I believe is true. I do not

believe that. Psychoanalysis in its many forms is very helpful

in these cases. Because exhuming a trauma It's just really

traumatizing the physiology of the person. And then they have

to deal with the aftermath and fallout of that. Whereas that

helpful. What's helpful is to get the physiology to normalize

and optimize. And then all the symptoms just fall away. It's,

it's, it looks like magic. It's not, it's just straight up

physiological science. So I love

that I'm trained as a therapist, I can tell you, I mean, I don't

practice. I'm a coach, but I can tell you like that was one of

the things that that was challenging for me is like, why

aren't we like, if we keep digging and digging and digging,

no one's getting better. So there's got to be other ways.

And I think solution focused, you know, therapy, I think

there's some very good ones. But I agree, like, you have to be

careful, especially when it's PTSD. And given the world we

live in today, I would say that 80% is probably very accurate.

And it's really like each person, however, we internalize

something, right? Because I think there's degrees of how

people's lives have gotten. But if you internalize something a

certain way, that's possible that you have PTSD as well. So

okay, and then, so those books are coming out? Well, the reason

you have to write them is because you're getting the

divine downloads at the same time. So they have to come

through or it's gonna make you crazy. Um, is there the other

book though the divine design,

oh, that's a fitness book that came out in 2005. Called Fitness

on purpose. It's still available on Amazon. Even though it's 15

or so years, hence, the ideas in it are still solid. It's a, I

call it a textbook for the lay person. So it has a

troubleshooting section that's illustrated. There's more than

1100 illustrations in that book. And it's very helpful. If you're

looking to solve some problems in your fitness routine, some

reoccurring injuries, how do you solve those? What do you do

about them? What do you avoid? Things like that?

Okay, got it. All right. Any other resources or anything else

we should know about?

Nothing else comes to mind.

Okay, that's okay. I think we covered a lot of it. And you're

on Facebook, LinkedIn. And of course, your website, again is

Rubinstein method.com. And that'll be in the show notes.

Just I'd love to close. This is just a one minute piece from

you, you know, we're still in this. You know, we've been in a

pandemic for two years ish. You know, this is a and I think

there's a lot I think we can agree there's probably a lot,

not probably, there's a lot of hopelessness, mental health is a

big, I think is its own pandemic, there's just there's

so much happening in the world. And information is coming at us

in such a way. So of course, everybody's stress level has

been impacted. Yes, final, just some final words of advice or

encouragement for our listeners who are all over the world.

Hope is power. And you have to think for yourself. You have to

believe in yourself. Take your spiritual life seriously.

Because, absent a spiritual life, it's very hard to believe

in the hope that you can have, and you got to get up and do

something about it. You have to, you have to live your life.

Don't let the media and all of its contaminated sources. Money

from a financial standpoint, from a political standpoint, at

the end of the day, we're just people, all of us are just

people. And the political machine is just fine running you

over. And it doesn't care. Take your friendships seriously.

Contribute to them. Don't just be a fly on the wall. Do

something for the people that you love. And make sure you do

something for people that you don't even know. From time to

time. We're just all people, we got to take care of each other.

I am my brother's keeper, it turns out, and that's what's

true.

Perfect ending. Thank you, Dr. David, for being here. Thank you

for sharing your method with the world and for our listeners. And

we wish you many blessings in 2022 and beyond.

First of all, I'm very grateful. Thank you

and to our listeners all over the world. Thanks for hanging

out with us again this week. Please keep coming back. I want

to bring you messages of hope and inspiration and motivation

so that this year can truly be your best year yet. That's it

for now. Have a great week everybody
