Andrew Mitchem Hey there traders Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach. The relationship between health and trading. Do you know in 21 years have been a full time trader? I’ve never seen herd watched a video or a podcast or seen an e-book ever about health and how it relates to your trading. Now, a few weeks ago, I received an email from Doctor Joe Jacko, who’s been a doctor in the US for over 36 years. [Intro Jingle] His methods and his beliefs in health and well-being a massive. And they align with the way that I think as well. It’s something I think is underestimated. And as mentioned, I’ve never seen anybody talk about health and how it relates to your trading, ever. So I jumped on the opportunity to have a chat with Doctor Joe. And I think you’re going to be fascinated by it and our beliefs and how it can help you as a person with your overall health, mental fitness, well-being and how it can relate to your trading success. So let’s jump into it right now. This is weekly video and podcast number 651. It’s Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach. And something different for you today. Dr Joe Jacko introduction. Really excited by the chat we’re going to have today with Joe Jacko from Columbus, Ohio over in the US. Joe’s a physician and medical doctor. And we’re going to be talking medicine and banking and finance and talking about the press, things that have happened over the last number of years and how we can help you to potentially think a little bit differently to help you with your, your medical and your financial situation. So welcome along, Joe. Great to have you here. Dr. Joe Jacko Yeah. Thank you Andrew, I appreciate the opportunity. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Really looking forward to this because I think we think a line on on many things in life. Joe where. Dr. Joe Jacko Would you like to start? Like, hey, before we start, can I just acknowledge your work that you do and bring in timely financial matters to your listeners? Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Cool. Thank you. Dr. Joe Jacko I appreciate that appreciate it. I hope they continue to give you a good rating so you can continue to do that. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Look, I mean we work hard to make it work for people. You know, we’re real people. We don’t pretend that we’re in some high rise in London or New York where I’m stood here, you know, shorts on, no shoes on, talking to you here, dressed up at the top to make it look a little bit more professional. But, you know, we’re real people doing real things. So that’s why, you know, I think it works. We’re not we’re not pretending to be something we’re not. Yeah. Joe, maybe if you could give everybody a bit of a background, over what you do, what you found, and what you’d like to discuss in this video and podcast. Dr. Joe Jacko Sure. Well, I’m starting my 37th year in clinical practice. And in addition to practicing, what I primarily do now is try to help patients navigate the medical information landscape. I think we all know that there’s some misinformation out there, and I also help patients try to regain control of their health by helping them ask questions of their doctors so they get the most complete information. Okay. And interesting enough, you know, some of this misinformation out there, it really comes from the profession itself. And people may find it surprised to hear that from a physician or a doctor. But it’s taken me about two thirds of my career to come to that conclusion that sometimes we in the profession are the problem, right? Are doctors and the medical industry to blame? Andrew Mitchem Was there any one particular time or point something happened that made you kind of change? Dr. Joe Jacko Yes, there are three. So I wrote a book that kind of goes over all this and it’s called bamboozled, duped and hoodwinked. The keys to escaping the tricks, deceptions and the half truths of the medical industry. And I point to three incidents in the in the book. So one was fairly about halfway through my career. I was given a talk on anabolic steroids. And as I researched, did I realize that a lot of what we were taught as physicians was not complete and that these steroids, although, you know, I don’t encourage their use, they weren’t nearly as dangerous as we were being taught as physicians. And we were in turn trying to scare our athletes from using it. And then the third incident was really had to do with Covid. And I just really thought we went off the rails in terms of our ethics. And I had a hard time following the crowd on that one. Yeah, yeah. Andrew Mitchem Me too. Dr. Joe Jacko And that’s that’s what prompted me to write the book. Andrew Mitchem Yeah. Interesting. That’s really interesting. You talk about book, completely different type of topic. But years ago I thought and I said to my wife, I want to write a book called The Ants and the bees. And the reason I wanted to record it, the ants and the bees, is because you get the bees ordering the hard work. The ants order in the hard work, and they’re all following that pattern, that routine. And I think within society today, more especially now than ever. And like I said, a lot of people kind of woke up during the Covid era, both on that financial and that medical side of things. Everybody just blindly follows what the press say, what the news says. And I don’t know whether it’s they don’t have time or they don’t want to know in terms of looking elsewhere. We’re not taught to think for ourselves. Dr. Joe Jacko Right. Yeah. We’re kind of taught to I think we’re all taught to just kind of blindly follow our leaders and our authorities, and we need to take some time and take a step back and really think for ourselves. And in fact, in the book, I dedicate the book to the independent thinker. And I think that’s the audience that you’re appealing to, the person who will question things and come to their own conclusions. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, that’s right. And in finances as well. Like I remember as a kid growing up on the farm, a parent’s used to get like the bank manager coming back in the day when the bank manager turned up at your place and they said, this is what you need to do to get to retirement. And, and I was thinking, even like at ten years old, I was sitting there thinking, that sounds boring. You know, you’re working and working and working in the hope that you get to 60 or now it’s probably closer to 70. And these days most people are not in a good physical condition. Time to get to 70 to actually go and enjoy that life. And I thought. Dr. Joe Jacko Yeah, we’re kind of caught between our age, our, our health and our wealth, and rarely to all three of them lined up to take advantage of the situation. Andrew Mitchem Correct. And I think there’s a mindset thing as well. You know, there’s a whole, you know, that whole rat race going on and people are just getting more and more sort of blindly following what they have to do. You know, they get up because of their llamas. They’re so to go to work for someone else, to sit in traffic, to dress really nicely, to please someone else, to come home. And it’s dark. The kids have been looked after by someone else. They’re tired, they eat rubbish, they go to sleep and repeat and it’s like, surely there’s a better way than this. Dr. Joe Jacko Yeah, we’re definitely in a rat race, and I’m sure you probably want your listeners to get their money to work for them instead of them working for their money. Andrew Mitchem Yeah, you’re right. And there is that about it. And there’s also the fact that they need to, you know, people want to become independently, you know, sort of able to do this. I think that’s one of the things it’s like, well, if you hand your money over to someone else or these days a robot or AI or something like that, and even if it makes you some money, there’s no mental stimulation. There’s no like, you know, I will say to my, my traders, you got to control your head, in your heart in trading because obviously it’s finances and emotion. But also I think the positive is if you know what you’re doing and you can invest for yourself and you get a good outcome, how good that makes you feel, because you know, you can continue to do this. Whereas if you hand your money over, you don’t know what they’re doing with it. Is it? You know what happens when results start going against you? You start getting a bit nervous. Self-educate yourself and do your own research. Dr. Joe Jacko Yeah, you want to work with expert, but at the same time, I think you really want to self educate yourself on regardless of the topic, so that you know what questions to ask your experts, whether it be your financial planner or your your physician. Absolutely. And yeah, you need to be well educated. That’s one of the things I really encourage with my patients. And in the book is everybody’s got to do their own research. Yes. So that, you know
