A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything. They just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family's sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

All right, I am back with this. So my son is a tricker. If you don't know what that is, google it. But it's basically martial arts combined with gymnastics. As someone who's 626 3, this is not his best sport. And growing up I was both a gymnast and a point ballerina. I'm 6ft tall. Again, not our best sports. I tore my ACL, my son tore his ACL. My son tore his tibial tuberosity off his tibia. I blew out my knee completely. Five knee surgeries and so I know a little bit about getting these things repaired as quickly as possible. First of all, of course you want to make sure that you're eating an anti inflammatory diet. This is super duper important. So think about that. And whenever you have surgery, you're going to want to push your protein up to the higher, higher range in your diet because protein is super important for healing. So that's where I will use my paleo inspired shakes. Because they're bone broth protein, they have a little collagen in them. I add more, I'll tell you about that. And they also have some, we put some branched chain amino acids in, but that's the first thing is up your protein. That's important. Add to your shake. I add my collagen in there and I add some glutamine. One of the things that can happen when you go through a surgery like this if you're taking pain medications is your gut can get a little leaky and so you want to make sure that you're supporting it. There's a lot of different things like N acetyl glucosamine which also will help with healing. But I especially look at glutamine here for healing. Next thing too, along with collagen is vitamin C that helps your body make collagen. And when you are healing and you're under stress, you are going to need to have more vitamin C as well. And you kind of do that to bowel tolerance. You know, vitamin C increases if you're sick or under stress, the need for it. And you can tell when you've had enough. You will know, trust me, because you will be in the bathroom. So we don't really want to get to there. But you want to increase it and take it divided doses throughout the day because it's water soluble. So every four hours. All right, next one. Fish oil helps with bone remodeling and reducing inflammation. I kind of think of it as nature's nsaid. So fish oil can be super important here. Of course, vitamin D with K for healing is really important and bone remodeling as well. And then curcumin. Curcumin of course is like so good for anti inflammatory and for protecting the gut. I would make sure you're on a good multivitamin mineral antioxidant formula. Again, antioxidants will help reduce something called hscrp, highly sensitive C reactive protein, which is a marker of inflammation. So you want to eat from the rainbow of fruits and vegetables in your diet, but also make sure that you are getting in those antioxidants supplementally as well. And then one other thing that I was using is cbd. CBD can, and you can use this either topically or internally. So that's another great one. Here's another couple things. Number one, a lot of times in the hospital they'll put you on an ice machine and then you take it home and you're paying the rent on an ice machine that you could have just bought on ebay for less money. So I now have an ice machine at home since I have athletic sons. So ice machine number one. Number two, visualize yourself already healed. That is also a super important one. And then number three is a foam roller to help you kind of get through some of the inflammation. I did acupuncture. One of my best girlfriends is an acupuncturist, so she actually came out and helped me. And then red light therapy. I have a big joovv j o o v red light therapy machine at home. So I did that also to help with healing. Healing. That can help heal too. There you go. This is JJ with Ask the Health Expert. I do this five times a week.
