Dr.

36

:

Truong, thank you so much for

joining us on the podcast today.

37

:

Anne: Thank you for

having me here, Michael.

38

:

I'm looking forward to some good

discussions about, sexual health

39

:

and general health and overall.

40

:

That's great.

41

:

Yeah.

42

:

I'm really interested in hearing about

your practice and particularly as you

43

:

just mentioned, your expertise around

sexual health, intimate health, because

44

:

it's such an important topic and

unfortunately it's often overlooked,

45

:

when you go to your physician, it's often

not something that the physician maybe

46

:

even feels comfortable asking about.

47

:

And so I'm really interested to hear from

you in terms of your thoughts regarding

48

:

that particular point and some other

aspects of your expertise in that area.

49

:

Anne: So the reason why I

specialize in sexual health is

50

:

really more of self-interest.

51

:

We're only interested in something.

52

:

Is it helpful to us?

53

:

So when I was about mid forties myself,

I was, feel like I was older than my

54

:

age and was not in my tip top shape.

55

:

And at the same time, my husband's

also at the same age and he had a

56

:

heart condition that he required to,

to take medi heart medication for.

57

:

And unfortunately, heart medication

is one of the main culprit.

58

:

Affecting sexual function and he

cannot take any type of ed medication

59

:

such as Viagra because it counteract.

60

:

And I wanted to help him in

finding alternative ways to treat.

61

:

Sexual dysfunction because I'm

a, I'm personally affected by it.

62

:

That's why I said self-interest.

63

:

It started out as self-interest and I

dive deep into it in finding out how do

64

:

you treat the root cause of a problem.

65

:

And I I'm an allopathic doctor, so

the way I was trained was medication.

66

:

In steroid and then surgery.

67

:

And, but I realized over the years that

I was really not helping my patient.

68

:

I was just band-aiding the problem

and not treating the root cause.

69

:

And then I started

learning about acupuncture.

70

:

Prior to me.

71

:

Discovering about alternative

to sexual health treatment.

72

:

I learned about acupuncture and

acupuncture really opened up

73

:

my eyes on the body healing and

how the body's interconnected.

74

:

Our organs are interconnected as one.

75

:

And with that knowledge, and I was

already doing stem cell therapy.

76

:

It was a really, a natural progression to

dive into the root cause of sexual health.

77

:

So that's how I got involved into it.

78

:

And my pa, my husband with my first

patient, I was my first patient.

79

:

And I, and we saw the benefits

of of what using, a lot lifestyle

80

:

modification and also using stem cell

therapy to restore sexual health.

81

:

And that's how we started

our journey on that.

82

:

And that's I do this for a long time.

83

:

We've been doing this for over 13 years.

84

:

Have treated over 7,000 men

with Ed and women too and

85

:

women with sexual dysfunction.

86

:

But we've treated over 37,000

patients over 27 years span with that.

87

:

Education is very important.

88

:

Education is knowledge

because if you know why you do

89

:

something to prevent or to help.

90

:

It will actually motivate you to stay

to to continue the course, right?

91

:

Yeah.

92

:

And I feel that sexual health the most,

most widely understood subject because,

93

:

it's embarrassing to talk about, it's

a shame to it, it's dirty and doctors

94

:

don't talk about it as well because

of how they feel about it themselves.

95

:

And it's a psychosocial problem.

96

:

It's not just a physical problem.

97

:

And so oftentimes, when you have

a sexual dysfunction, it's almost

98

:

like shameful to talk about it.

99

:

So you just try to find information

on your own through the internet.

100

:

And as you and I both know that the

internet is not the most reliable

101

:

source of information, even ai, right?

102

:

Yeah.

103

:

Even AI as well.

104

:

You can ask.

105

:

Catch g, PT or everything else.

106

:

But AI will spit out some

generic answers for you.

107

:

But more than anything is really

getting signs proven research

108

:

based treatment that work.

109

:

And believe it or not,

restoring your sexual health.

110

:

It's pretty straightforward.

111

:

You just need to do the hard work.

112

:

You just need to do the work and

be focused and be consistent.

113

:

Yeah, that's great.

114

:

No, I am, that's super

interesting because you're right.

115

:

There's such a stigma around discussion

of sexual health and it's really

116

:

unfortunate because, I think that

a lot of people are embarrassed to

117

:

bring it up with their doctor, or as

you say, they're not too sure, how

118

:

to go about getting help and then

relationships start to become affected.

119

:

I think, I see a lot of elderly people in

my own practice, and I think there's a.

120

:

An unnecessary kind of assumption

that sexuality naturally declines,

121

:

after midlife, which is really

unfortunate because I think that's

122

:

one reason why a lot of relationships

end up becoming more distant because

123

:

people do have these challenges and

they're not sure where to go for help.

124

:

So I'm interested, you mentioned a couple

of things there in terms of approaches.

125

:

There were the lifestyle

factors and then the biologics.

126

:

Do you mind explaining a little

bit, and I imagine that this is all

127

:

spelled out in detail in your book.

128

:

Key erectile dysfunction fix.

129

:

And so just for viewers and listeners,

we're gonna put links to all of Dr.

130

:

Chung's content in the show notes,

and I'd encourage people to read

131

:

those or at least, access those

links and read the book for sure.

132

:

It looks very interesting.

133

:

But yeah.

134

:

What would be some some key

points in terms of the lifestyle

135

:

factors in the biologics, Dr.

136

:

Chung?

137

:

Anne: Honestly, like I was talking

earlier, that restoring your sexual

138

:

function is quite straightforward.

139

:

All you is three is four

things you need to do.

140

:

Four things, all right?

141

:

And and I'm not talking about just sexual

function because good sexual health.

142

:

Equate to it equals good general health.

143

:

'cause everything that you are doing

that will help with your sexual

144

:

functioning is all the same thing.

145

:

It's the same thing for your heart.

146

:

It's all the same thing

to control your diabetes.

147

:

So when you do these things, it's also

for heart health, also for diabetic

148

:

health, and also for longevity.

149

:

So you live longer, you actually pre

will prevent cancer, will prevent

150

:

Alzheimer's, and you'll lose weight.

151

:

So it's just not about Seth.

152

:

So the four pillars to

restore, to maintain or restore

153

:

sexual function is diet.

154

:

So focusing on eating a clean

diet, and I'm not talking

155

:

about keto, anything like that.

156

:

We usually recommend a Mediterranean diet.

157

:

All that is that let less

processed food, focusing on

158

:

vegetables, fruit and lean meat.

159

:

Lean meat is chicken, fish,

and pork, less red meat.

160

:

That's it.

161

:

I tell my patient, essentially,

eat what the earth grows for you.

162

:

Whatever the earth grows for you, eat it.

163

:

Don't eat anything in a

box, in a can or in a bag.

164

:

In a plastic bag.

165

:

Eat what the earth grows for you.

166

:

Eat what or ancestors ate.

167

:

Right?

168

:

But before the industrialized era, before

we start boxing it in boxes and so forth.

169

:

And so eat what the earth grows for you.

170

:

And then number two you'll be

surprised when you eat what the earth,

171

:

the food that the earth grows for,

you actually end up eating less.

172

:

Yeah.

173

:

When you, you eat less when you eat the

food in its natural form, it's amazing.

174

:

And then you don't have any

cravings on top of that.

175

:

Yeah.

176

:

You don't have craving for

sweet, you don't have craving

177

:

for cookies or anything.

178

:

It's funny.

179

:

Your body will say your

body's like a sponge.

180

:

When you be, when you give it what

it needs, it just say, oh, I'm good.

181

:

I don't need to eat a

cookie late at night.

182

:

I don't need to, I don't need to

eat a bag of chips late at night.

183

:

And the body just say, thank you.

184

:

I'm I feel good.

185

:

And then.

186

:

Number two is exercise.

187

:

I know it sounds like a, exercise, eat,

but it's really moving your body, right?

188

:

It's, and to simplify things just moving

your body, whether that'll be walking up

189

:

and down the stairs or walking outside

or or rowing or biking or something.

190

:

Move your body and always takes about

30 minutes four times a week, or

191

:

equivalent about 150 minutes a week.

192

:

Because research has shown that

movement that about 150 times a week

193

:

is good for the heart, but the what?

194

:

Every time you exercise your heart pump.

195

:

Better.

196

:

And when it pump, it also

expand your blood vessels.

197

:

And when your blood vessel expand,

that's also good for blood flow.

198

:

Okay.

199

:

And you should exercise at a level

where if you are moving it's a

200

:

little hard to count one to 10.

201

:

You should be like that.

202

:

So you shouldn't be comfortable

and just counting one to 10.

203

:

What I tell my patient

is go outside walking.

204

:

You don't need to belong

to a gym or anything.

205

:

And shoot for about an 18, 20 minute

mile, and go for a mile, and then go

206

:

for three miles, whatever suit you.

207

:

So that exercise.

208

:

And then number three is sleep.

209

:

Making sure that you have adequate sleep,

at least seven hours of good sleep.

210

:

Sleep is important for the body

to heal physically and mentally.

211

:

We take sleep for granted because you know

that, we never have to think about it.

212

:

But when you don't sleep as

well, you are just not in tip

213

:

top shape the following day.

214

:

Yeah.

215

:

So because your body needs to

heal that's when your body start

216

:

to get rid of the toxic stuff.

217

:

You have in your body and it start

to heal the the remaining tissue.

218

:

And then the fourth pillar is

decreased stress or stress management.

219

:

So what that mean is I'm not talking

about going to yoga studio and doing

220

:

all this and that, I'm just really

talking about decreased distraction.

221

:

Decrease negative stuff

in your life, yeah.

222

:

Because we live in a world of, smartphone

and multitasking and all that, where

223

:

it's really down making down to the

basic stuff of even the morning, maybe

224

:

don't grapple your phone right away.

225

:

And, meditate about 10 minutes a day.

226

:

And not that just mean when I say

meditation just closing your eyes

227

:

using an eye mask to cover your

eyes, because when you put an eye

228

:

mask on, it actually decreased 30%.

229

:

Of the input that goes through

your brain and when you decrease

230

:

your eye, it's 30% of the input.

231

:

It literally will slow

down your brain right away.

232

:

Just try it.

233

:

Anyone that I never tried meditation

or have a trouble sleeping, put an

234

:

eye mask on and you'll be amazed how.

235

:

How your brain slows down immediately.

236

:

I do that every time I take a nap.

237

:

In the daytime, if I feel like

my brain is slowing down, I will

238

:

put an eye mask on and literally

within five minutes I'm asleep.

239

:

And even in just like a 10.

240

:

15 minute nap.

241

:

I wake up, refresh, I wake up, like I

just like exercise for a whole hour.

242

:

So sleep is important and that,

but then the eye mass will

243

:

also help with the meditation.

244

:

And the other thing is breathing.

245

:

Slowing.

246

:

Slowing down.

247

:

Oftentimes when we're, when we

breathe, we're mouth breathers.

248

:

We're stressed, we're mouth

breathers and we take shallow breath.

249

:

To, in order to give your body peace

and not put it in a stressful state,

250

:

is to breathe through your nose.

251

:

Like for a count of four, hold it

for a count of four, and breathe out

252

:

to your nose to the count of four.

253

:

And then.

254

:

And then hold it for account

for, and then breathe in.

255

:

So it's called the box

breathing technique.

256

:

What that does is essentially slowing

down your breathing, helping ensure

257

:

that you take deeper breath in your

lungs and so that when you take

258

:

deeper breath in your lungs, you get

more oxygen exchange, and then the

259

:

carbon dioxide leave you the lungs.

260

:

Go out to your nose.

261

:

And the reason why I say nose is

because the nasal passages here have

262

:

a lot of the nerve ending and a lot

of the circulation that will actually

263

:

help you make more nitric oxide.

264

:

And nitrous oxide open up blood vessels.

265

:

So that's why nose breathing is important.

266

:

Now you can do mouth breathing too.

267

:

It's just that you get more

nitrous oxide production.

268

:

To your nose.

269

:

And I don't know you notice, but if you're

stressed or you're focused or you're

270

:

something, you don't take deep breath.

271

:

Yeah we don't take deep breath.

272

:

We're mouth breather No.

273

:

Than we ever been.

274

:

Yeah.

275

:

As well.

276

:

So nose breathing is important

and slowing down your breathing.

277

:

Just taking deep breath and just

slowing down your breathing.

278

:

I.

279

:

Goes a long way, as in lowering stress.

280

:

And that's really all it, that's

all really all it is about the

281

:

things that you need to do.

282

:

It's not, you don't need to join a yoga

studio, you don't need to travel to

283

:

India to go to some retreat, you hear

about this all the time, but it's really

284

:

actually more simple than we think it is.

285

:

No, that's great.

286

:

I appreciate hearing that summary.

287

:

The breathing and the nose breathing

in particular is quite interesting.

288

:

It's easy to it's easy to just try

and, implement these lifestyle hacks.

289

:

And I read James Nestor's book Breath a

few years ago and I've started yeah, doing

290

:

mouth taping at night and initially it

was a bit difficult to get used to and

291

:

then, but now I do it almost all the time

and so I force myself to nose, breathe.

292

:

During sleep, my sleep has really

improved and now, even if I don't put

293

:

the tape on my tendency is to just

nose breathe at least, it feels like

294

:

when I'm falling asleep and when I,

who knows when I'm actually asleep.

295

:

But yeah, and the nose nose breathing

I think, is a really key point.

296

:

And I really appreciate how

you explained the importance in

297

:

terms of the nitric oxide and

how that opens the blood vessels.

298

:

It sounds like.

299

:

Just paying attention to vascular blood.

300

:

Vessel health is a really key unifying

principle in terms of all those lifestyle

301

:

factors, and it makes sense because,

healthy sexuality in terms of the

302

:

physiology is really dependent on healthy

vascular blood vessel system health.

303

:

Anne: Absolutely.

304

:

So it's just not about sex.

305

:

It's really about general

health and longevity.

306

:

And I wanna bring up this point that

in the end, it's about sex because

307

:

the sexual center in the brain

is deep in our brain, in the most

308

:

primitive brain center of our brain.

309

:

The sexual function, and it's the

most protected area because it's deep

310

:

in our brain and we shared that same

brain function and there as salamanders

311

:

who are millions of years old.

312

:

Because it, it is an integral part of

who we are as human being because you

313

:

have to think about it as human being.

314

:

It is our job.

315

:

What is our job?

316

:

Our job is to continue the human line.

317

:

Our job is to carry the DNA so

the human line can continue.

318

:

So that is an integral part of us

as a driver of us, as a human being.

319

:

And be, before we started, recording,

we were talking about, why I.

320

:

Sexual activity is dirty and the term,

the sexual connotation of the anatomical

321

:

part of the sexual organ is dirty and it's

bited even on social media in:

322

:

You can't even say that word

on Google or even on YouTube.

323

:

Sometimes I get censored to,

to talk about certain terms.

324

:

But I'm not talking about the

actual part of love making.

325

:

I'm talking about the

medical benefit and that.

326

:

I have to name the term,

but still I'm censored.

327

:

So the point I'm trying to make

is that it shouldn't be dirty.

328

:

It's an integral part of who we

are because it is an integral

329

:

part of us as human being to.

330

:

To have sexual relations.

331

:

That's, it's built in our DNA.

332

:

It's built in the deepest part

of our brain to do that and to

333

:

suppress it and to not talk about it.

334

:

It really gonna affect

who we are as a person.

335

:

But, unfortunately, that's where we

are now, and that's one of my job

336

:

is to my, my passion is to bring

it out of the closet to make it.

337

:

From being shameful, dirty and bad

to bring it out into mainstream.

338

:

And let's talk about it.

339

:

What we did with mental health.

340

:

Yeah.

341

:

Anne: For sure.

342

:

And people with mental health.

343

:

Because all of us, you, I, everyone, we

will have sexual decline as we get older.

344

:

It's but we don't have to live with

it if we know what we need to do.

345

:

But how do we know we need to

do, unless we talk about it?

346

:

Unless it becomes nons shameful

to talk about it, right?

347

:

And it, and doctors are not even

comfortable in talking about,

348

:

and they're not trained on it.

349

:

And so it, it becomes a double

negative where the patient.

350

:

You is afraid to bring it up

because it's uncomfortable.

351

:

Yeah, it's shameful.

352

:

And then the doctor's uncomfortable in

discussing it, so nobody's discussing it.

353

:

And then you're just left on your own

and sometime you're just like, live with

354

:

it or end up taking an ED medication.

355

:

So I wanna kind yeah.

356

:

What we need to do is to bring

it to mainstream and just

357

:

have open discussion about it.

358

:

And not shameful because we will

have sexual dysfunction because

359

:

as we get older, why is that?

360

:

Sexual, dis sexual dysfunction

is de is related to high blood

361

:

pressure, high cholesterol,

diabetes, stress, obesity, sleep.

362

:

Smoking porn, all those bad

lifestyle, it's related to that.

363

:

So what happened when we get

older, we don't exercise like much.

364

:

We gain weight, we have more

stress, and we get older.

365

:

Family life, finance,

a lot of stuff, right?

366

:

And then we may not sleep as well.

367

:

We may not eat as well because

maybe we're traveling a lot.

368

:

We're, we're not able

to control what we eat.

369

:

So you get all these factors that play

with life as you get older that predispose

370

:

you to having sexual dysfunction, right?

371

:

Because sexual dysfunction doesn't

happen in it, in on its own.

372

:

It's happened because of like I

said earlier, high blood pressure,

373

:

high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity,

stress, sleep horn and all that

374

:

plays a big role into a trauma.

375

:

A trauma is part of stress,

trauma, any type of trauma

376

:

plays a role into that as well.

377

:

So we should treat the root cause.

378

:

Of that rather than treating the

symptoms of sexual dysfunction.

379

:

But sexual dysfunction

will happen to all of us.

380

:

It happened to me, it happened

to my husband, it happened

381

:

to a lot of my friends.

382

:

But we don't talk about it.

383

:

And when I do talk about it

it's uncomfortable and nobody

384

:

wants to talk about it.

385

:

Because, you know it is personal, right?

386

:

It is.

387

:

It becomes personal thinking.

388

:

Because somebody will think that you

are less of a person and you're less.

389

:

You are dirty and that you're I have been

I have had friends that had distanced

390

:

themselves for me because of what I

do, because they think it is shameful.

391

:

To talk about it.

392

:

Yeah, that's that's unfortunate.

393

:

And it, and, good for you

for, advocating and educating.

394

:

I think that's the key issue.

395

:

It's really important when you mentioned

the connection with these deep ancient

396

:

brain areas like the hypothalamus that

are really involved with these primal

397

:

drives, like hunger and sexuality, because

I think that, it makes a lot of sense

398

:

that because it's such a foundational.

399

:

Kind of instinct from an evolutionary

perspective that the more that people can

400

:

have a healthy integration of these kinds

of drives, then probably the more healthy

401

:

that's gonna be for their psychology and

also for their relationships as well.

402

:

At least their intimate relationship.

403

:

I.

404

:

And so I think it really makes sense

from the perspective of general wellness

405

:

that people have the opportunity

to just understand as much as they

406

:

can about this and to try and have

optimal health in terms of their

407

:

sexuality and their relationships.

408

:

So yeah, I really think it's so important.

409

:

Anne: Yeah.

410

:

And thank you for giving me the

opportunity on your show to discuss about

411

:

this openly and also to let people know

that it's not shameful, it's not you.

412

:

And if you do have it, there are

solutions and all of us will have it.

413

:

Doing well happen.

414

:

And it's not shameful.

415

:

There's nothing you did wrong.

416

:

You just didn't know

what you needed to do.

417

:

But now you know what you need

to do, then you will do it.

418

:

Because when we know why we do

certain things, then we were

419

:

more motivated to stick with it.

420

:

So I think that my, my goal is to.

421

:

To have an open discussion about it

and to share the knowledge and like

422

:

I said, everything that I mentioned,

diet, the exercise, and sleep and stress

423

:

doesn't cost you any more money than

you are spending now because you're

424

:

paying money for your food anyway.

425

:

Yeah.

426

:

Might as well, make

good choices with that.

427

:

Are you gonna exercise?

428

:

You don't have to join

a gym, you go outside.

429

:

My kids said the air is free, the

earth is free and no one's gonna

430

:

stop you from going, walking outside.

431

:

And when you're walking outside,

you can practice nose breathing.

432

:

You can practice box breathing right.

433

:

You when, and in fact, studies have

shown that when you go exercise

434

:

outside in nature, it's actually

very beneficial for stress reduction.

435

:

As well.

436

:

It's like almost like connecting

with Mother Nature, right?

437

:

Because we, we are, mother

Nature are connected.

438

:

And so you do a double check box and

okay, my exercise and my meditation,

439

:

my, my stress reduction box is check

because, I'm doing outside during covid.

440

:

That's what I did a lot.

441

:

I walked outside a lot.

442

:

I walked three miles,

five miles at a time.

443

:

And and I listened to to podcasts.

444

:

That's how I got into podcasts as well.

445

:

And it was very therapeutic for me.

446

:

It was a stressful time for all of us.

447

:

I.

448

:

Yeah.

449

:

Anne: As well.

450

:

It, and it's really quite simple.

451

:

In fact, the more I talk about

it, the more I was like, all

452

:

of us can do it, but we didn't.

453

:

I love this phrase.

454

:

It says, you don't know

what you don't know.

455

:

Yeah.

456

:

Anne: You don't know what you

don't know until somebody.

457

:

It tells you otherwise, and then

you go, yeah, that makes sense.

458

:

Exactly.

459

:

Yeah.

460

:

Yeah, for sure.

461

:

I'm interested in the connection

between the sexual health and

462

:

the anti-aging in the longevity,

because obviously with, attention to

463

:

vascular blood, vessel health, I can

see how that connection is there.

464

:

But in particular, I think,

myself and many people are.

465

:

I'm not entirely familiar with the term

biologics, so do you mind breaking it

466

:

down for us and explaining how biologics

relate to sexual health and other things

467

:

that you have expertise in, like pain

management and aesthetics and longevity.

468

:

Anne: So essentially biologic

is you using your own cells

469

:

in your body to help you heal.

470

:

And believe it or not, we have

stem cells in our body that is

471

:

readily there to help us heal.

472

:

For instance, you cut your cell.

473

:

The other day I was slicing

some carrot and I cut my finger.

474

:

And so when you cut

yourself, what happens?

475

:

Blood goes to the area, right?

476

:

And then it gets clotted up.

477

:

The cells in your body that help with

clottings called platelets, those

478

:

are the cells that help clot it up.

479

:

And when it's clotted up what happens?

480

:

Other cells in your body come and repair

that cut, and it looks like a scar.

481

:

And then over time, that scar disappears.

482

:

That's healing.

483

:

That's stem cell working right there.

484

:

You have those stem cell in your body

and they're made in the bone marrow.

485

:

They your blood cell, your white

blood cells and your platelets

486

:

are all made in the bone marrow.

487

:

So the, what we do, the biologic

is essentially using your

488

:

own cell to help you heal.

489

:

That's what biologic is.

490

:

And the biologic could be the material

could be the bone marrow and like

491

:

the stem cell from the bone marrow

or the stem cell from your fat.

492

:

Your fat also have healing cells called

and then the platelets is what in.

493

:

Your blood that's circulating

around, all right.

494

:

Five liters of your blood.

495

:

And how we do it is that we extract

out the platelet and from your blood.

496

:

It's essentially going to as if

you do a blood work, you go to

497

:

the lab and they draw a blood

to check your cholesterol level.

498

:

We draw out a much higher, more

a larger amount, like from 60

499

:

cc to about 240 cc of blood.

500

:

And we would isolate

out only the platelets.

501

:

The platelets comprises about

1% of your blood, only 1%.

502

:

So we would throw away

the red blood cells.

503

:

We keep a little bit of the white

blood cell and we keep the platelet,

504

:

and then that, injected into the

organ that is not functioning well.

505

:

So for for men with Ed.

506

:

That will be the penis for women.

507

:

That will be the vulva.

508

:

And for but we can do the same thing

to, for pain, like a knee pain, like

509

:

you have knee pain or when you have hip

pain or ankle pain, you can do that.

510

:

We can even put that in the hair.

511

:

To help hair regrow.

512

:

Put that in your skin and your

face to help with wrinkles

513

:

and to help rejuvenate skin.

514

:

That's what I get on my face every year.

515

:

And I get the platelets

in on my face every year.

516

:

And so you can put it anywhere.

517

:

That has a dysfunction.

518

:

And so that's how we use the

biologic to boost the healing.

519

:

It's almost that we push the reset button.

520

:

Thank you very much, Dr.

521

:

Chong, for a very interesting discussion.

522

:

I really appreciate you sharing your

expertise and in particular, the lifestyle

523

:

factors that I think viewers and listeners

will really be able to easily implement

524

:

into their daily routine in order to

help optimize their sexual health.

525

:

Their blood vessel health in

the interest of general health

526

:

and wellness and longevity.

527

:

So thank you very much once again.

528

:

Again, viewers and listeners, I really

would encourage you to check out Dr.

529

:

Truong's content.

530

:

I'm gonna put links in the show notes.

531

:

And I think it's gonna be very

valuable for you to increase your

532

:

understanding and awareness of these very

important areas and have a look at Dr.

533

:

Truong's book, and it'll give you an

opportunity to really take advantage of

534

:

her expertise in order to improve your

understanding and awareness of these

535

:

important health and wellness factors.

536

:

So thanks again.
