3 Major Talking Points: 1 Forces of Habit Chapter 5 Introduction Recap 2 Sobriety and the Sober Curious Movement 3 Reset Mind and Body

-Segment One: Chapter 5 - "A Trap Baited With Pleasure" introduction from Forces of Habit Drugs and The Making of the Modern World. We'll return next week to continue to discuss why so many are prone to addiction and why others are not. Part of addiction has to deal with natural born human nature, but also environment contributes to the problem.

-Segment Two: Living a Sober Lifestyle -Rather than focus so much attention on people on drugs and controlled substances, let's focus on people choosing to stay sober and why.

-Living a Sober Lifestyle or Sober Curious Movement: "This movement gives people the chance to be more mindful of their drinking habits and decide for themselves what they want their relationship with alcohol to look like. Being sober curious does come with health benefits, even if you decide to drink sometimes."-verywellhealth.com

-Segment Three: Mind & Body Reset prior to the holidays and getting prepared for the new year. Plan now, enjoy the holidays, practice some of the goals you hope to accomplish in the new year right now when you're focused on having fun. For some, they're able to restart or quit vices cold turkey with their new year resolutions. For many, it's a transitional process. Allow yourself some wiggle room and flexibility.

-If you want to eat healthier but not ready to give up everything, introduce a new food item into your weekly meal plan. Make a list of new things you do like so in the new year when you're ready to make a full change you're ready to go.

-One fun way to force yourself to try new foods is to host an Iron Chef themed potluck. Pick a new ingredient. Everyone spends a week researching new recipes, they make a dish and bring it to the gathering. Pick and choose what you do and don't like.

-Practice fasting during this season with the reward of a holiday party to attend after you've accomplished your goal. This includes alcohol and other drugs, as well as foods, sodas, and sweets.

Youtube 3 Major Talking Points: 1 Business of Health Introduction 2 Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About book - Chapter 3 It's All About The Money  3 Prevention: Video and Book Series from Immune A Journey Into The Mysterious System That Keeps You Alive



(*Disclaimer, I am no doctor. Everything shared here is social commentary and opinion. Do Your own study and research, please.) The business of health makes a lot of money.  As we enter the fall and winter seasons, to avoid missing  work, let us study the business of health and ways to prevent falling ill. Health industry is the biggest money making machine. Consider for a money how much you spend personally on getting well from being sick. Cough meds, fever reducers, tissues, and varying meds. How much is invested in preventative health? Have you ever considered how much money is moved around within that industry from the tests, the procedures, the prescription drugs, to even the ads they run? (Pg 35 from "Health Cures 'They' Don't Want You To Know About" reads : " Millions of dollars are spent using technology pioneered by the CIA and KGB to produce advertising that will motivate you to not only want t\heir drug, but feel you need their drug...")

-Healthcare costs are rising, people cannot afford to live, is there another way to stay healthy? There's supporting evidence of natural cures to keep you healthy saving you money.
