Dr John A. King Live

That's still going on.

Back on your Instagram tab, did it like do anything? Okay, you gotta click go live. Let me see if it would give me some sort of notification.

Well, but this is delayed. This is right. Hey, how you going, folks? Hey, listen, I'm just trying out this new program to see if it'll stream over to a bunch of folks. So like, you're my, um, test audience. So, so yeah. So hello, how you all going? Got any questions? Anything you wanna ask? Or you sit here and have a chat? Can't see anything actually. Hi. Someone said hi. Hi, Oshin.

Hi, Roy. For you, so can you go back to your little stream tab and see if the chat comes through on there?

I just— it doesn't seem to be there.

Okay.

Hello, everybody. Anyone got any questions? Anyone wanna talk? Anyone wanna have a chat? Got a cup of tea? Have a little bit of a question? No. Hope days are going well. Our days are going good. We've just been sitting here learning this new technology stuff. Hey, Pam. Hey, Jen and Juice 9. How's everyone going? Any questions about life, writing books, writing poetry, trauma recovery? I'm gonna sit here for 5 minutes and talk to you, mob. You don't say anything, I'm gonna bugger off and go home.

Are you also going to YouTube?

Jen and Juice, hello. No, I didn't turn YouTube on. How you going, Jen? What are you doing? Where are you based? This is my wife. She's sitting here. Tech support. Tammy Coberson. Tabby. Tammy Coberson. Well, excuse me. I'm Australian. Love us like we are. We're flat out talking English, let alone what's going on. So where are you based, Jen? What are you doing? We're just sitting here talking. Well, testing some software, we're testing Restreamio because I want to be able to— okay. How do you find it helpful to write about your— do you find it helpful? I find it very helpful. Um, so I've written a book. You might know that. Um, paramedic, great. I got something for you, Jen. You might want to look at. It's called The Phoenix Collective. Probably seen it on my feed. We took, you know, 15 years of trauma recovery. And $300,000 worth and shoved it into a 12-month thing. So I think journaling is very important. Something I started doing just lately is journaling before I go to bed and I journal what I want my dreams to be. And what that does is neurologically prepare me to go to sleep because I used to have really bad nightmares with all the childhood stuff. So I'm starting to be intentional about my dreaming. And that's really changed things. Cousin was a paramedic out in California, um, drove him to drink. He was an alcoholic for probably 20 years after that. Terrible, you know, some of the stuff he saw. So, you know, peace out, sister. Well done. So I journal most mornings. I have a coffee, cigar, and do my Bible time. Coffee, cigars, and Christ, the 3 C's of my life. So I started that way. But yeah, that's a great question. So yeah, the short answer is journaling is very good. I think it helps you process things. But you've got to remember, when you're writing things down, you're actually reinforcing things. So make it a positive exercise, not a glossing over exercise, but try and do some deep work with it. Um, yeah, I know, um, Melissa can probably speak to that. Um, a lot of nightmares for a lot of years. There's some stuff we use. What, what, We use magnesium. She uses a magnesium spray and manganese. So we use that. That's helped with dreams a lot. Don't I don't THC isn't good. I don't think THC is good for anyone with PTSD. Alcohol's not good. It stops we the reason we drink is because we want to calm our parasympathetic, but it actually doesn't help us. In that way too much at all. The magnesium, she gets a— she's got a spray and I put it on my feet before I go to sleep.

Yeah. Magnesium.

A magnesium spray. That's been phenomenally helpful. Like, it's on Amazon for like, you know, $9 or something. There's a couple of good ones. You gotta make sure. And if you contact Melissa, you can see her tag there, Mel Ryan underscore King. If you contact her, we'll actually give you the, just the name of whatever we use. Because we found it's a really good one. There's a couple of weird ones out there.

Yes, he said we love to drink.

Oh yeah, I know you do. I do too, but it's not good for me, love. You know what I mean? It's what, what you're doing when you're drinking is you're actually wanting to calm down your parasympathetic The problem with doing that is it interferes with your HRV and stops you getting into deep sleep. You think you're getting into deep sleep, but you're actually not getting into deep sleep. So that interferes with your deep sleep and your REM cycles. So you actually stay tired all night. You stay a little bit pissed, hungover. You wake up halfway through depending on how much and, you know, end up having a pee or go to the bathroom, throw up or whatever that is, whatever we do there. Um, it calms the parasympathetic. Um, mindfulness exercise is good. Do you know what I just found lately is listening to an audiobook. I'm listening to one on Charles Dickens and I can't work out whether it's just boring that I fall asleep. Um, or, or, or not. I don't think so. I think it's the guy's voice is really soothing. There's a gadget we use called BrainTap, which has been pretty phenomenal. It sort of trains you, trains your brain. It puts it into a meditative state without you doing meditation. So that's actually really groovy. Um, so I know the fellow who runs that company. I think I've got a discount link. I don't know, man. I'm really not, we're not, we're not, we're not good at that stuff. Here you go. Christ Burns or Christ Burns. Where you going, mate? Saskids06. G'day. How you going? Mmorris263. Stubby. I like that name, Stubby. Yeah, try that. Try the dream journaling, Jen. I think that's really good. And the, the, so on Audible, I don't know what platform to use, but what you do is you can choose 5, 10, or 15 minutes, um, for like, or read to the end of the chapter. So I just put that on and it just talks. It sits and talks to me. You end up getting weird dream, dreaming weird stuff about Charles Dickens at the moment, which is pretty, pretty harmless. You know, Charlie couldn't get up to much in the 1800s, could he? But it just sort of sits there and does that. So that's good. The other thing too, Jen, because you're on the go all day, don't have— you gotta turn the blue screens off, love. Don't have it in the TV. You know, it's no good for you. It's no good for your love life. It's no good for you. The blue lights as well. Try and make your bedroom as dark as possible and gotta try and get the temperature down to about 65 degrees. We do a whole sort of Series of things in our Phoenix Collective on biohacking trauma, and so you've got to try and stay off the blue screen. So if you're going to go to bed around ten, you got to cut it off by about eight. And I go to bed and I start to read, and because I'm reading, it slows everything down. And so that's really good. Are you gone? Plane cut. Now listen, folks, what we're doing is we're trying out this new streaming software. So I'm just sitting here like with my missus. Here's missus. You can see her. She looks better than that because like she's got light behind her. Can't really see how gorgeous you are. So we're just sitting here. So if you got anything you wanna talk about, like writing books, Mel's an artist. You wanna talk about anything with trauma recovery or just, you know, I don't know how the World Cup game's going. I don't really like to follow that stuff. Apparently it's good. Apparently, hopefully Americans are winning. Australia wasn't last time I had a look. So yeah, anyone got any questions? We're gonna stay for about another five minutes, then we'll probably bugger off. But it's been nice to have you mob here because we're just testing this thing out, and it's nice that someone turned up to have a look. Bit of a spontaneous little time. All right, well, if you don't have anything else, then I'll bugger off. So if any of you are interested in trauma stuff, have a look at phoenixcollective.app. phoenixcollective.app.

Yes.

If you have a look at that, then, um, that's what some of the stuff we do in the, uh, the trauma recovery space. Have a look at the website, drjohnaking.com. I'll put that in here. You can see a bunch of stuff that we do there. Alright, no one got any questions? Hopefully you're not all driving around like watching Instagram Live or sitting on the dunny or something like that.

They don't know what the dunny is.

They don't know what the dunny is, apparently. Well, that's like the loo. The bog, the toilet, the drop chute, the bucket of splash, the blue smudge. The wife's tapping me out over here. G'day, Duke of O'Sun. Carmone44. Hello. Alright. We're gonna go. We're gonna keep talking to these people.

We're going.

All right, we're going, you lot. Cheerio. Hey, listen, if you want to come to a free trauma workshop, check out Dr. John A. King and click on the Phoenix Collective tab and just join. And so yeah, yeah, just we'll hold them once every six weeks. And we do stuff like how to improve your sleep, cognitive function, a whole range of stuff. And you get a chance to ask questions. All right. If you're not talking to me, I'm sick of talking to myself. Cheerio. How do I end this thing?
