Guys, welcome back to my channel. I'm so excited you're here and that you've come for some inspiration or motivation. Either way, I'm glad that you're here. And today I'm pretty much doing my weekly cleaning routine. I go through the whole house, get it all covered, make sure that I clean up from the week and just get the bathrooms done, the dishes really washing up the kitchen and of course, mopping and getting floors done. If you're totally new here, my name is Adeline Zook and I have three little girls. We live in North Carolina and I do a lot of homemaking and motherhood style content. And I just have a huge heart for moms and homemakers and would love to inspire you and get you up and moving to get your things done that you have on your list for the day. So I started out in the living room and like you see here, I'm actually using a Norwex envirocloth on my couch and I jokingly told my husband the other night that I think I may take one over my entire couch because they clean the upholstery so well but I think I may actually do it. So wait and see if I get up the nerve to actually wipe down my entire couch with an envirocloth and see if it gets it clean. If you'd like to see that, let me know. Also, like I said, I do use Norwex to clean my house and if you're totally new to Norwex, it removes 99% of bacteria from surfaces with just water. I also make my own cleaners with essential oils and other natural elements because you can use those along with Norwex cloths. I will leave a link in the description box and you guys can check out a video that I did recently where I took chicken, yes, chicken, raw chicken and under a black light show you how well it actually does remove bacteria. I have a quick running my diffuser, especially whenever I'm cleaning and today I'm doing grapefruit and lemongrass, one of my favorite combinations for when I'm cleaning the house. It's so fresh and clean. So I noticed the other day whenever I put my oils in that a lot of them sat in kind of a big clump in the middle of the water inside of the diffuser. So I grabbed my little like coffee frother, milk frother thing from Amazon. I love this thing. You guys, a lot of you have it too and I actually like kind of stuck it in there to break up the oil droplets and it made the scent of the oil in the house so much stronger and it just made it work so much better. So I thought I would share this little hack with you guys in case you want to try it out and see if it does the same thing in your diffuser. So this is my youngest daughter's room. It's also where majority of our toys are. So of course the toys get pulled out and dumped around and the girls are such great helpers at picking up their things and putting them in the right bins. Sometimes I think it actually kind of motivates them to sort the toys out, to go in the correct bins and of course whenever I help them out they like that as well and they get excited that mommy is going to pick up toys with them. On a total side note, for those of you that watch my channel regularly I think Hazely is 90% potty trained. She is doing so well. I'm so proud of her and she gets so excited at feeling like a big girl and being out of diapers. I took an envirocloth and just wiped down their little kitchen. It was getting kind of dirty and I just want to make sure that I'm getting a lot of the bacteria cleaned up and out of our home. I'm so much more conscious of that these days and so as you've probably noticed, you see me using things that will remove bacteria and just keep us healthy and clean. And I just wanted to let you guys know as a reminder you can always leave prayer requests in the comments and I take time to pray for those requests. I just feel like right now no one should feel alone with everything that's going on in our world so please do that if you feel you have a need today. In a video I put up not that long ago I made these toilet bombs. I will be sure to link it below in case you missed it. They're super simple to make and they smell so good and whenever you drop them in the toilet they do fizz and clean the toilet.  I basically just keep a designated cloth in that color for the toilet so that I know which one is for that and I can keep it separate from the ones that are for other areas of the house. This is the scrubby corner cloth and it's basically like a regular Envara cloth but it has that little scrubby corner and I really like this for my sinks because I can take that and scrub around the drain and get it good and clean. Do keep an eye out for my last video of this month because I will be announcing in the description box who won the Norwex mop for this month. I did a giveaway between the first and the 15th and anybody that placed an order with Norwex you were in a drawing for a free mop and I will be doing some more giveaways like that so keep an eye out, I have some fun things planned. I wanted to show it to you guys. So this is the tub and shower scrubber from Norwex and of course it has all of the power to remove 99% of bacteria from your surfaces but it's really cool because it's like a mitt so you can go ahead, make it wet and just go to scrubbing. This side has kind of like a scratchiness to it and then this side removes all of the goop and shampoo and whatever might be in your tubs and showers so I have never had one of these and I'm really excited to try it out. First I took my tub scrub mixture and if you're looking for the recipes for my cleaners you can go to my oily page, it's Adalines Oily Tribe on Instagram so I sprayed the shower down with that first and then I went ahead and used the scrubby side, scrubbed out the whole shower including over the glass it's totally safe to use on glass and then instead of taking my cup that I usually use to rinse out the shower I just went ahead and rinsed out the mitt and then flipped it over and used the soft side to wipe everything down and oh my goodness I wish so bad that I would have had this mitt way longer. It was so great, it got everything really clean and it was so fast and easy next to using a scrubber and a cup and just the whole mess. So if you have a tub or a shower that doesn't have a detachable shower head I definitely recommend using that it's so much easier than trying to wash everything down and then also on the glass door just to shine up the glass I used my purple window cloth and wiped over that just to kind of take all of the water off. And then these are the hooks where I hang all of my Norwex stuff whenever I'm done cleaning just so that the silver that's inside of them can go to work getting rid of any leftover bacteria. So to do my windows and my mirrors I just take an Enviro cloth and wash them over the surface and then I wipe them down with the window cloth and it does such a great job and if you're a mom that has little ones that puts fingerprints and food and all kinds of things on your windows or your mirrors these are so great because it removes grease and so any oils that are left behind it just cleans it right up. This is one thing I love about this Shark Flex vacuum is you can flex it just like I did and get underneath of beds and you know, dressers anything that you wouldn't normally be able to get to with a regular style vacuum. Life is a winding road No telling where it goes Driving through days and nights Won't stop for traffic lights If you guys missed it I just moved my coffee bar over to this corner and I love it so much and the sun comes in this window in the morning it's just so cheery when I get my first cup of coffee.  When I was finished washing up the leftover dishes I just scrubbed down my little draining rack and everyone asks where that comes from or I get a lot of comments about it and it's actually from Ikea and I think it was like $4 something like that the best $4 ever I love that thing it's so convenient when I have cups or just little things to wash that I want to drain right there then I sprayed my sink down with some of that tub scrub that I make and also added a little baking soda and scrubbed it out and I do the same method as I do with my glass and mirrors on my stainless steel I just use the Enviro cloth and then the window cloth we have been doing so many craft projects and things since we've been home so much so I actually have been leaving this tablecloth on my table just because we've been painting and doing a lot of things like that almost every single day so I decided for now since this is our new daily routine I'm just going to leave it on there unless I want to clean the table or I'm having guests over I've been very adamant about keeping this entryway clean if you guys don't know this 85% of contaminants come in the first four feet of your front door which is crazy so that is why I love being able to rely on my Norwex mop I know that it's removing all the bacteria that comes in on our floors and then of course I take an Enviro cloth over the door knobs and the doors just anything we would be touching as we come through the door pretty much every day I do at least one to two loads of laundry depending on what I'm washing or if I accidentally forgot or just didn't have time the day before to do my load and it helps me keep this under control so much better and I had extra clothes this day because the day before I had actually cleaned out our closet if you guys saw that video and so there was like things that I didn't know if it was clean or dirty and so I actually had a little bit extra laundry this day but I always make sure that I get it all put away if this video inspired you to do something take a picture of it and tag me on Instagram you can use the hashtag inspired by Addy and then I'll be able to find it and see what you're up to and if you're new here I'd love it if you subscribed and joined my channel give this video a thumbs up and thank you guys so much for watching I'll see you in my next video


Progressive schedules that was the weirdest accent in history. I didn't even intend for it to come out It was just one of those things. Have you ever played a video game? I played a few video games I played a lot of video games To the point to where I get mad at them and I rage quit Why do I rage quit because I'm experiencing extinction? Why am I experiencing extinction because the video game has me on a progressive schedule? Surprise surprise, right video games are all about schedules reinforcement a progressive schedule is really simple you Then the schedule of reinforcement as time goes on as as the organism goes through the schedule You make it thinner and thinner and thinner so it's so they have to work harder to earn reinforcement You could have a progressive ratio schedule So they got press more buttons as they go on along or make more widgets or whatever it is You could or make more videos before Wait a minute. Maybe brad has me on a progressive schedule. That's why we're gonna That was a good laugh So you could do it on progressive intervals as well So you make it you could make that interval longer so you have to behave for a longer period of time or whatever you get the idea Anyway, so these things are pretty cool It's independent really of the organism's behavior in a certain sense You're setting the thinning separate than that you set it ahead of time a geometric progression or an arithmetic arithmetic Math progression use math to create your progressions in your thinning schedules. There you go. Bye


Have you ever heard of the term, but for causation? It's a legal term. And the idea is basically that the actions of someone at point A cause the devastating results of those actions at point B. But for causation. For instance, when Donald Trump stood in front of a group of radicalized young Americans and he talked about how they should fight for their country and he encouraged them to storm Capitol Hill. They acted based on his rhetoric. And so after his speech, a group of young Americans went and they stormed Capitol Hill. Now, as a direct consequence of that action, five people were killed. But for causation. The term but for means if it wasn't for. But for Donald Trump, those five people would not have died. But for causation. Let's bring it down to the local scenario. If it wasn't for Chilofiatale, insama, the prosecutor would not have died. But for Chilofiatale, insama would still be alive. Chilofiatale took a bogus case to the anti-corruption commission. It was looked at carefully. It was it went to court. It was thrown out. But because of his rhetoric, because of his actions, it resulted in the direct death of insama insama. But for Chilofiatale, insama insama would still be alive today. But for causation. And nobody, and you know what amazes me about this is that nobody talks about this. Nobody talks about the but for causation of Chilofiatale's carelessness. Why? Why should it be that way? You guys need to take a closer look at that guy. I'm serious. I'm very serious.


Welcome to the Dr. Gundry podcast. You know, if there's one saying I can't repeat enough, it is this, food is medicine. And my guest today is living proof of the healing power of food. In 2000, actually, you know, it's 20 years ago, she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and actually within a few years, despite following phenomenal medical advice, she was confined to a wheelchair. But instead of taking the conventional approach, which clearly wasn't working, she radically transformed her diet. And within a year, she ditched her wheelchair and the cane and was actually riding her beloved bicycle. And if you go on the internet, you can watch pictures of her. She's Dr. Terry Walls, professor at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, a best-selling author, and in my opinion, one of the foremost experts on the power of nutrition to reverse autoimmune disease. On today's show, Dr. Walls and I are gonna tackle hot topics like the keto diet and intermittent fasting, discuss whether fruit is really all it's cracked up to be, and discuss ways you can rebalance your gut microbiome for better health. Dr. Walls, welcome back to the Dr. Gundry podcast. Hey, thanks so much for having me. Well, it's a pleasure. We always have a great time talking with you. You truly are one of the greats in this field, and it's a pleasure to talk about your new book, The Walls Protocol, The New Edition. So- Hey, thank you. What's changed in the new Walls Protocol? Well, so we have a lot more ability for people to personalize the diet recommendation. So I talk about histamines, we talk about oxalates, and we talk about ketosis. I have pulled back from my original discussion of ketosis in the first book, I'm much more specific about who should be on a ketogenic diet and that there are a wide variety of ways to get into ketosis. So we talk about time-restricted feeding, intermittent fasting, periodic fasting, and then I talk about hormesis. We've updated a discussion on metabolic resilience, on how to create more emotional resilience, the science of behavior change and how we, the reason most of our colleagues struggle with getting their patients to succeed is that it's really hard for people to adopt and sustain the lifestyle changes that you and I recommend. And so I've created a much more robust process to support behavior change. So we talk about that. We talk about food addiction and addiction medicine. And then finally, I have update the reader on electrical stimulation and the latest in neuro-rebellation. So all in all, it's over a third new material. You know, that's one of the things I so much respect about you is that you're willing to make changes in your teachings and your philosophies based on research that wasn't available to you or me even a few years ago. And based on the results of your practice with patients. And our clinical trials. Yeah, that's exactly right. We're getting ready to start our fifth clinical trial. So in these 10 years, we've made a lot of progress. We have a lot more insight as to how to help people adopt and sustain these changes. And we have more insight in terms of what happens as people adopt and then sustain these changes.   Let's start there. Well, you know, certainly, ketogenic eating is something our ancestors did. They're in ketosis a lot, either because of the prolonged physical activity which depletes your glycogen stores and puts you into ketosis or because of winter, drought, war, famine that does not food and so you're in ketosis on that basis. And the science is very clear that being in ketosis does shift a lot of chemistry in very helpful ways. And so there's a bunch of research on the benefits of ketogenic eating for neurodegeneration, cognitive decline and certainly seizure disorder and cancers. And I certainly still talk about that research and stand behind all of that. However, there's also more research on the benefit of metabolic switching. Of being in a ketogenic state because of either physical activity or absence of food and then resting and eating and letting your cells replenish the glycogen, burn carbs or burn amino acids. And so we're switching between a ketogenic state and a non ketogenic state. And that switching does even better things for our brain and better things for our mitochondrial efficiencies than being in a prolonged ketogenic state. So now my preference is that I want people to be in ketosis intermittently. And you can do that either on a daily basis through time-restricted feeding or a weekly basis through sort of a 5-2 intermittent fasting or a periodic basis, so a periodic fast or you can do a seasonal ketosis. And I think in general, that's my preferred strategy. There are clinical circumstances though where I will still put someone in ketosis and leave them in ketosis forever. So let me, you and I know these terms pretty well, but for our listeners' purposes, intermittent fasting and time-restricted feeding seem to be used interchangeably, but in fact, they're not the same thing. Correct. Can you educate us on that? So the time-restricted feeding refers to how long a period you're not eating. So in general, you wanna, because most of us will deplete our glycogen stores, that is our stored carbohydrate, in about 12 hours. So if you can go longer than 12 hours without eating, you begin entering a ketogenic phase. That's why most of the time-restricted feeding asks people to have at least 14 hours of not eating. Sometimes it'll go as long as 16 hours or 18 hours. And I do have followers, I'm sure you do as well, who may eat once a day.  So they have a really prolonged time-restricted feeding. Intermittent fasting sometimes is using that same sort of overlap term, but more commonly it refers to every other day or perhaps two days a week to either not eating or greatly reducing the calories on those days, perhaps to like 300 calories or 500 calories. You might hear a very common plan of a five-two plan where you have five days a week where you eat your normal metabolic requirements and two days a week where you have a severe, or I mean a fairly severe restriction to 300 calories, 500 calories. Some folks even do a water-only fast on those days. Yeah, I think they're not interchangeable. They both work in different ways. As you know, I wrote about time-restricted feeding actually back in the early 2000s with my first book and my editor actually cut a huge chapter out of my first book because she thought I was crazy. But during the winter, I think this is now my 18th year of doing this. From January through June, during the week, I don't eat breakfast, I don't eat lunch, and I eat all my calories between six and eight o'clock at night. So 22 hours a day, I'm fasting. That's very similar. That's what I typically do year-round. And then one week a month, I will do a calorie-stricted diet of 300 to 500 calories. And by the end of that week, I'm pretty hungry. Yeah, but you know, well, let's talk about that. People say, well, how can you do that? You must be starving all day. And the fact is, you know, it's now past lunch and I'm not hungry at all. In fact, it shocks people that once, if you're starting this for the first time, yeah, you may be hungry for a couple of days, but then there is no hunger involved. That's right, your body adapts and this becomes very comfortable. So eating one day a week is very comfortable. And even, you know, our week of the calorie restriction is way easier now than it was the first month that I did this. So, and interestingly enough, my wife, after watching me do this for a year, said, you know, honey, I think I'll start doing it. And so she now does this regularly with me as well. And so, you know, our kids are looking at the two of us and going, God, you guys keep looking better and better and better. And I think that's true. You know, certainly my hair is still getting gray. So I haven't changed that. But if you line up photographs of me, I certainly continue to use them. Yeah, I posted on Instagram, I think last year, a picture of me from 11 years earlier and a picture of me currently.  It looks like a young person's skin.  Yeah, I think there's, I think there's something, you know, I think just to get in personally, you can visually see the, or the lack of the changes or the backward aging, de-aging. And what we're doing is, I like to call this euthanine. And part of what we're doing is with the time-restricted feeding and the periodic fasting, we're boosting the number of stem cells in circulation. And we're boosting the stem cells in our skin. We're boosting the stem cells in our brain, in our heart, in our liver, our kidneys, our blood vessels. And so we're not aging at the same rate as all of our peers. So, yes, we are absolutely euthanine.  So we'll see. Yeah, well that was the comment on the Instagram.  So I think you're right. You're right, my hair is still gray. Initially, I was convinced that, you know, I was gonna have a nice shocking blackhead of hair again, but there's certain things that I haven't been able to kick into gear.  That is wild. Now, you also mentioned in your book, and there's far more important things, but both you and I recommend the idea of Walter Longo's idea that a five to seven day vegan calorie restriction is a really good way, and clinically proven, to boost stem cell production. And I know you mentioned him in the book. Are you still using the prolonged every now and then? Yeah, you know, so sometimes we'll do prolonged, sometimes we'll do water only, sometimes we'll make our own soups and broths. You know, and I certainly agree with Walter that a high protein diet is a problem. Just sort of like a high carb diet is a problem. It stimulates a lot of insulin, it stimulates your mTOR, it stimulates insulin-like growth factor, ends up increasing your risk for growth, which if we're not toddlers and our bone plates have fused, growth can only do a couple of things. It can make me fatter, which I'd rather not have happen. It can cause benign tumors, which would be inconvenient, or it could cause cancer, which is terribly inconvenient. And so I want sufficient protein to do the maintenance that I need for my body, but I don't want so much protein that I have all these growth factors stimulated. Well, now I'm glad you brought that up, because that again is something I respect a great deal about you. You, even in some of your cookbooks, there's quite frankly a lot of animal protein. And you know, I'm from the Midwest as well. And I had to make the fundamental switch in my brain that this protein was probably not doing me a great service in the long run. What about the carnivore diet? Oh, yes, so I just had a very interesting conversation with a carnivore MD, and so we had some robust points of view. His, he quoted a study of two men from the 1930 that were filed for a year with zero adverse health consequence, and a study that had looked at the microbiome change over a week, and that was all the research that he could point out. He does make the case that plants, because of their lectins, it quotes you there, Dr. Gundry, that plants are noxious to us and are poisonous. Then I asked him like, okay, I've not been able to find a hunter-gatherer society that ate zero plants all of their adult life or all of their childhood life and the whole life of that clan. Do you have any that you can refer me to that I can read about? So he couldn't find any of that. I will agree with my carnivore colleagues that for some people with a severe autoimmune problem that's unresponsive to my protocol, to your protocol, that the carnivore diet may be the ultimate elimination diet. That it may allow them to reset their immune system in that doing the carnivore diet for a period is that three months may help reset their immune system and then they could begin to reintroduce foods. I think he has, we need more information. I told him that what I really would like to see is to get this stuff in the peer-reviewed literature. So give me case series, give me case reports, do a survey-based study. Who's following the carnivore diet? What is their clinical experience? Do some weight food records? So we know what are the nutrients that are in the carnivore diet as you are describing it. So we can identify are there nutritional insufficiencies we have to worry about? Are there nutrients that are up over the upper limit of what's safe? For example, he wants people to have a pound of liver every day, probably a pound of liver every week. Every week, yeah. That's a lot of retinol. And I'm very excited about liver. I think liver is a superfood, it's really good for us. But a pound of liver is gonna exceed the upper limit for retinol. And retinol, once you get it in your body, although it's a critical nutrient, there's a narrow range. And within that narrow range, once you get over that, then you're gonna be at risk of long-term toxicity, which can lead to problems with cirrhosis, needing a liver transplant, pulmonary fibrosis, needing a lung transplant. And there is no getting it out once it's in. And so there may be a select number of patients for which the carnivore diet may be a helpful tool. I certainly don't yet have enough information to feel comfortable saying that historically we have societies that have been carnivores with zero plant material for the rest of their lives. And so I am very reluctant to call this a safe long-term diet. It may be a safe diet for a month. I may go as long as three months, but I think we don't know. Yeah, I think he, I've talked with this physician as well. He praises me for bringing up lectins and turn his thoughts around. But, and I think you're right, it may be for certain people with an autoimmune disease that you and I can't break with our protocols, which are incredibly similar, that maybe a carnivore diet with true grass-fed, pastured, et cetera, may be a good elimination diet for maybe a month, but I had the pleasure of debating another young woman who I won't mention because it was off camera when we talked about this, who has done a carnivore diet for her autoimmune disease, but now she wants to get off the carnivore diet and she can't. She, anytime she now re-introduces plant materials, her gut goes haywire. And that's one of my fears about all this. So let, actually, that brings up a question. What, how you and I see a lot of people with irritable bowel with deranged microbiome that when we ask them to increase their plant material, let's just use that generally, they get severe gastric distress, IBS, cramps, bloating, diarrhea gets worse. What do you do with those folks? So I haven't got a pressure pot, instant pot, and start doing soups and stews. We do a lot of bone broths. And I will make sure that they are having liver once a week, and that I have them cook everything in high pressure, and I will potentially blenderize the soups and stews and take that route. I also make sure that we have a gluten detection kit and that I'm detecting their urine and their stool a couple of times a week. And often what we discover is their diet's not as clean as they think. And this might be, and then we have to figure out, okay, where's this gluten coming from? Is it in their supplements? Is it in their medication? Is it in their food? Because they've not been as meticulous. Because when you go to the restaurant, 40% of the food that's labeled gluten-free still has detectable gluten in them. If you go to the grocery store, 20% of the products labeled gluten-free still have gluten in them. So I spend a lot of time telling people, don't get the gluten-free bread, cereals, pastas, brownies, cookies, just get vegetables and meat. Yeah, I know, I think that's true. I'm friends with a number of James Beard award-winning chefs and really to a person, they say it's, you really cannot eat gluten-free in a restaurant even if our servers tell you you will be eating gluten-free. And I think that's incredibly important advice. It's virtually impossible. You cannot reliably get it. There are some published papers now that have gone out and collected food from restaurants, food from grocery stores, and then tested that and have quantified the gluten. So my advice is to be much more meticulous. You're the person who's struggling. I monitor their urine and stool and that can create a big aha moment. That's area number one. And then number two, we have them use the Instant Pot. Yeah, and I just released my latest book, the Plant Paradox Family Cookbook, that uses a pressure cooker and Instant Pot for most of the recipes. And it also helps busy families, which is, it's miraculous in terms of a time-saving device. But yeah, I do the same thing.  And then I agree with you, blenderizing them, making them into soups. And then what I do is I introduce these things really in small amounts initially and work the way up. And this is actually the advice I gave to this young woman, kind of off camera. And we'll see if it works, but yeah. You have to be very cautious. You know, when the carnivore MD and I chatted and he talked about this old study, which really was very interesting, the 1930s individuals who have meat-only diet for a year, that was a very different kind of meat. The animals would have been grass-fed, it all would have been organic rations. And so that was a very different product than what people are getting now. Even if they're getting organic meat, it's probably grain-based meat. It's pretty tough for people to get grass-fed, grass-finished meats. And so this is a very, very different product. And the Arctic dwellers, which was what were the original source of the diets for these two men, even those communities during the summer have plant material. They don't have a animal-based product the whole time. And their products with sale, pardon me, whale blubber, seals, and primarily fish-based and some caribou, that's a very different mix of animals than what most carnivores are eating. That's very true. Plus, interestingly, following modern hunter-gatherers and certainly following carnivores like lions, they will actually eat the guts of the animal they kill first, including the parts of the intestines that the animals have eaten, which are digested plant materials. Correct. And I think we have to understand that piece of that equation of the carnivore diet is missing. So... If we look at evolutionary, so six million years ago, we were part of the primates in eating primarily plants. Two million years ago, we're in the Homo genus. We are eating more animal products as well. We still have pretty large guts, so we're still eating a lot of plant material. Then about 100,000 years ago, we are, we're eating more animals and we're cooking. Our guts begin to shorten as we're cooking our food. And so, I mean, what I did agree with our carnivore MD was that, okay, so my ancestral mothers and fathers, the Brunhilda and Baywolves of thousands of years ago. So during the summer, Brunhilda was out there getting plants and we were having a lot of non-poisonous leaves and some tubers and a lot of dirt. And some small animals that she was catching in the nets. Baywolf was out there getting the bigger game and bringing that back and then during the winter, I wasn't eating any plant materials and I was either not eating or I was eating carnivore. So I was willing to admit that certainly, several months out of every year, I was either fasting or being a carnivore and at least seven months to nine months out of the year, I was clearly an omnivore. That is what we have the most historical precedent with as homo sapiens are being omnivores, just very occasionally carnivores and fairly occasionally having to fast. Hey, let me, on that same subject, let me give you another question. So my wife and I will eat our meal at dinner because that's quite frankly, when we're both home, we both work. Same here. So what say you that really, if we were gonna do this correctly, we should eat our meal at breakfast and then start our fast at that point? Well, again, let's sort of think about Baywolf and Brunhelda, back there about 100,000 years ago.  And they'll probably be showing up around one o'clock. Then I'm cooking that stuff. So maybe at best I'm eating two or three o'clock. So I bet we have probably a longer history of the feast mid-afternoon and that's when we ate and we probably had one meal a day. I mean, the concept of three meals a day was a newly introduced European dictum to separate themselves from the savages. And my guess is historically, we probably had one meal a day. When we are farmers, and we came farmers 10,000 years ago, we might have had a meal before going out and doing the farm work. You've slaved all day in the fields, working your tail off and you come back in and you have another meal in the evening. So it might have had two meals a day. But when we were hunting and gathering, it was one meal. Okay. And it was probably late afternoon, mid-afternoon at the earliest. Yeah, as I tell my patients, we didn't crawl out of our cave and say what's for breakfast. Yeah, we're ready to go catch it. Yeah, and breakfast means break fast and that's when we found it. The other thing that interests me is, as you know, our cortisol levels rise early in the morning, starting around four o'clock in the morning. And that actually kicks up our blood sugar. And my argument to people saying breakfast is the most important meal of the day would be that we seemingly have an evolutionary fix for the fact that we weren't going to have food early in the day because cortisol makes us insulin resistant and it kicks up our blood sugar and we're actually off and running. So all my diabetic patients, I actually say, haven't you noticed that your blood sugar goes up early in the morning and they go, yeah. And I said, well, believe it or not, that's on purpose. And you were designed for this. So the idea that we've got to get that meal in, the first thing that we wake up just, it doesn't make any physiologic sense. No, no, I don't think there's any need for that. All right. So like I say, you change your ideas, bless your heart. What have you learned about the microbiome that you didn't know five years ago? That my colleagues are really getting excited about our microbiome that they admit we don't really know what species we should have in a microbiome. Even my microbiome scientist admits that he doesn't know what species are the right species to have. That probably it's what these species can do. And that microbes are gene-swapping all of the time. And so even though we may have these probiotics because they're being cultured in these big steel vats, they're gene-swapping all the time, we don't know what processes that microbe can do. And it's the processes that I need, not the name of the species. So the research that is really the most interesting is the research that looks at the metabolites, the metabolome, and we've got that frozen. So we're gonna be analyzing that. Metabolon looks at about 20,000 different compounds that are in your urine, your blood, your poop, your spinal fluid, and sees how that changes. So we're writing grants now, so hopefully there'll be a time when I'm gonna be able to analyze the changes in our blood, urine, and stool as people adopt the wall's diet or as they adopt any of the other diets that we study. And because you see, that is what I think the change in the diet that you advocate and that I advocate that our gut then digest that foods into smaller compounds that get into our bloodstream that help us run the chemistry of life. And it's the microbiome making these metabolites that influence our health. So that's very exciting. I talked about that in the book. We are writing grants. Hopefully in the next couple of years, we will get funded, be able to analyze that stuff. And so hopefully in 2021 or 2022, I can begin to much more specifically address that. Fantastic.  Now, yeah, now most people equate because of dietary advice, fruits and vegetables as equally healthy and because fruits takes good and vegetables don't, they tend to head for the fruits. In your new book, you aren't particularly wild about fruit. And as you know, I have told people to give fruit the boot. So what say you? So our fruit is very, very different. It's been cultivated to have a lot more starch, have a lot higher fructose content. And so that's very different than the type of fruits that would have been our ancestors would have consumed. For them, berries would have been like this huge treat, a very seasonal treat. You could have that. Probably does not have nearly the amount of lectins because the plants want us to eat. The fruit, so they aren't going to be as noxious towards it. True. The fruits that we have cultivated and created again have so much more fructose, so many more carbs. And frankly, so do a lot of the starchy vegetables. So what I've discovered in my clinics and our clinical trials is that people ramped up on the fruit and did not have near the amount of vegetables that I wanted them to have. So I've made it much more explicit that we're dialing down the fruit. And my preference is that what we're talking about, ideally, are berries. I think berries are the most beneficial of the fruit. It's so much more important to get the greens, to get the sulfur, and a small amount of fruit. If you have a belly that's bigger than your butt, then I'd rather you not have any fruit. And that's most Americans, unfortunately. Unfortunately, that is most Americans. And unfortunately, most children now too. No, that's true. And now, we kind of touched on this. So the ultimate elimination diet may be a temporary carnivore diet, but give me your new elimination diet. So my preference is meat, vegetables, but we're talking about the greens, the sulfur, the color. We have people remove nightshades. So that's tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, peppers. I have them remove all grain, all legumes. I talk about removing nuts and seeds, and preferably seed spices. If you're going to cook, then I want them to cook with a Instant Pot. I do talk about if someone is a vegetarian, vegan for their spiritual beliefs, then we have them have gluten-free grains and legumes, and we stress that this should be cooked in a Instant Pot. And then I have them do that ideally for six months, but at least for a hundred days. And then I have them begin reintroducing foods, one ingredient at a time, to assess what their reaction is. And I talk a lot about biosensors and the subtle symptoms that may indicate that your biosensor is detecting more inflammation. So I have trigeminal neuralgia, which means I have bouts of electrical face pain either across the right side of my face or the left side of my face. And as a result, if I begin to have any change of perception of my face, I'm very sensitive that that's an early warning sign that something activated the microglia in my brain and my spinal cord and my trigeminal neuralgia is about to start firing. So now I have to think about, okay, did I have, was I exposed to food that might be contaminated? Did I get too much toxin exposure? And the most recent thing I realized, Steve, is that I can't, I have to limit how many flights I take each month because I'm trying to help as many people as I can. So I'm flying around the country doing all of these lectures and realize that, I can take two speaking gigs a month if I do three, I'm likely to have my face pain turn on.  What could I improve in my environment and how did my environment get contaminated? I think that's a really great point. Certainly people who have followed my program for a while notice they become very aware. They finally get back in tune with what their body is trying to tell them. And even a knight of a cheat, what they'll call a cheat, they pay for it in sometimes subtle ways, sometimes in fairly vigorous ways. And I have a number of particularly women who had had MS that no longer have it, but they know their triggers and they feel it. Yeah, it also reminds me that I talk a lot about epitope spreading in that early on people might feel like, well, it's a special occasion. I could have pizza and beer with my friends or I could have an indulgence and I'll just clean up my diet. What I have to let them know is that every time that you are causing this flare, you're damaging your cells, you're damaging how you run the biochemistry and there's no guarantee that you can get back to your previous baseline. And so if you continue to damage, you may trigger another serious autoimmune condition and that you may discover you don't get back to baseline. I also talk about if we don't get to the root cause of what's causing their MS or their rheumatoid arthritis or their scleroderma or their psoriasis and they keep taking their disease modifying drug, but not address the diet lifestyle root causes. What will likely happen is that every decade, another autoimmune problem will develop. And that's why so many people now are having two or three or four serious autoimmune diseases. Yeah, I tell my patients that if when you and I were coming up through the ranks, if we know what we know now about autoimmune disease, I don't think we would have put names on these things. I don't think we would have named them. You have MS, you have rheumatoid arthritis, you have psoriasis. I think it's far better to say, your immune system is activated against you. My personal feeling it's because you have a leaky gut that has turned on your immune system and that's what we have to address, not the name that you have. That's right. The time that these things were being described, that was about the early 1800s and my Crosby was just beginning to be developed. We didn't understand the mechanisms of what were the root causes of these illnesses. So we just could look at what organs were being damaged, where the growth symptoms were, and we devised our treatment gradually addressing those and symptoms. And now when we look at the microscopy, the electron microscopy and the cytokine profiles, what of course is no surprise to you and I is that the basic biochemical processes are the same, whether it's psoriasis or scleroderma or anxiety or depression or MS, it's mitochondrial dysfunction, excessive inappropriate inflammation, over-activated innate autoimmune immune system. And so if we help people address those root factors, they discover that their disease state that they originally came to see me for is getting better, but then so is their mood, so is their pain and their husband saying, their blood pressure is getting better and their blood sugar is getting better. And more discovery is that the whole family's health challenges are often steadily improving. Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. Yeah, and I'm so glad, again, revised and expanded because I hope you and I have learned something in the last five years that we didn't know before. Yes, hopefully so. Hopefully so. And there are, unfortunately, people giving nutrition advice who haven't changed what they say in the last 20 years, which is unfortunate, because I can't wait for tomorrow because I'm gonna learn probably something new from one of my patients that I didn't know before. No, I have more appreciation when I think of George Orwell's book, 1984, and where I'm going with that is it's very hard for us to learn anything new.  And we manage by recognizing patterns of what we think, how we understand the world. So it's really no surprise that our physician colleagues ignore lots of information for a long time because they can't deal with the volume. So they interpret everything within the context of what, how they currently understand the world. Our physician colleagues do this, our scientific colleagues do this, we do this, all of us in our lives. It's how we manage with the overwhelming amount of information. Yeah. Well, Jerry, it's been great having you back on the program. Before I let you go, I wanna share a few comments we got on the last show we did together. Oh, good. Yeah, here's Joanne who wrote, how exciting to hear this brilliant conversation between Dr. Gundry and Dr. Walls. I am so very grateful to both of these magnificent healers who give us all great hope for joyful longevity. Well, that's sweet. Thank you, Joanne. That's why we do this. And here's a great one from Barry. She is articulate, humble, educated, helpful and profound. She represents the future of good medicine. So that's much deserved praise for you from our listeners. So where do folks find more about you, your work and where do they get the new version of the Walls protocol? So please come find me at terrywalls.com. That's T-E-R-R-Y, Walls-W-A-H-L-S.com. And if you wanna see our research papers and including the videos of gate changes from before and after, go to terrywalls.com forward slash research papers. That's very exciting. We have a in-person event where we have hundreds of people coming every year to learn what we're doing in our research lab and my current thinking about diet, lifestyle, restoring health. And that we have every summer. So that's an amazing experience as well. Fantastic. Well, thank you again for all you do. Before we go, we got an audience question. So ScorpioMum on YouTube asks, Dr. Gundry, how about kidney stones forming because of increasing intake of leafy greens? So I prepped you about this. Dr. Walls, what do you think? So if you already have kidney stones and if your physician has told you that you have oxalate stones, then yes, they will probably put you on a low oxalate diet and will tell you to avoid sph greens and to avoid beet greens in particular. Yep. If you happen to have a problem with autism spectrum disorder, potentially oxalates may be an issue for you. However, aside from that, I'd say the vast majority of people do very, very well. The biggest driver of kidney stones is dehydration. It's a sugar high processed diet. Again, our ancestral mothers and fathers did very well eating plant material and meat. And they probably did not have access to as much water as you and I have access to. So advice is get rid of processed food, have plenty and plenty of water. However, if you do have a history of kidney stones, by all means talk to your physician about the particular type of stone you have and any guidance that you might need. Yeah, I agree with that. Please, as I tell my patients, we gotta know what kind of kidney stones you have. They're either uric acid, urate stones or calcium oxalate stones. And I also advise, particularly my female patients, please don't take traditional calcium supplements. That's out in my protocol. Yeah. Yeah, and quite frankly, I see so many people that have the urate crystal kidney stones and they are on a high fructose diet, whether it's from fruit, whether it's from wine and beer or whether it's from all the processed foods they're eating. All right, that answers your question. And boy, it's great to see you again and hopefully we'll have you again on soon. Write another book, please. I'm finishing my next book called The Energy Paradox, which is gonna be right up your alley as well. Great, I look forward to it. All right, stay warm in the winter out there and come visit us in Southern California. Sounds good. Take care. That's it for The Dr. Gundry Podcast, see you next week. Before you go, I just wanted to remind you that you can find the show on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher or wherever you get your podcasts because I'm Dr. Gundry and I'm always looking out for you.


So, I've been wanting to do a geodeside table for ever. Like, since I first saw Miss Colourberry do it, I've wanted to do it. Then Petra's doing some amazing ones, and a few other artists. And I feel like it's time that I do one, so that's what's about to happen. Okay, so I have this Masonite board that is on its face because I don't want to make this side sticky. In case I decide to reuse it, so I'm going to do it on this side. I got this Tyvek type tape. This one's from DuPont. It's a flashing systems tape. I got it off Amazon. And it feels like a heavy plastic tape, which makes sense about why resin won't stick to it. I'm going to cut off every part that has stickiness on it, because I don't know what that texture will do to my resin. And the backside of this tape looks like straight up tar. So I think this is like a roofers or like a construction people tape, so sturdy, I'm sure. So I think my geode is going to be basically from here up. It's not going to be like huge table, it's side table size. So I'm going to measure this out, double check, measure twice, cut once. I'm pretty sure I heard someone say that before. And then it's going to take two, three, four, about five more of these. So I'm just going to take this and cut it like this and save myself some time and stress cutting strips of tape. Because genius. Also eats science. I have forgotten how many of these I need, so we're going to play that by ear at this point. I think I said six more. I can't remember. We were on a live feed. I would ask you guys what number I said, but alas, we are not. Usually I would have my lovely assistant, Jeffrey White. How do we get? Existing. I can't remember how much this tape was, but it wasn't like shockingly much, but it wasn't exactly cheap. So I'm really hoping that it does the trick. You guys, the next best thing to get for this project is Jeffrey White. What is it, Jeffrey White? It's Vanna White, but Jeffrey. Where? So for this, we're doing a slight overlap because we really don't want the seams, but there's not a lot you do about it. You can just use a tarp, but I want to see how well this Tyvek tape works. Now we have our base. So now we have to get cocking. Get to cocking.  I need to shake it first. What should I use? Y'all, we use chop pins of various colors to get our lines right. Jeff taught me that a long time ago. Use a different color for every new idea you have so that you can keep track of which ones you're following, which ones you like, and which ones you need to rework. I have to roll with this. Decision made. Roll with the punches. Now we get the cocking. G-E, 100% silicone, waterproof, clear, mold-free, 30-minute setup. The slower you go, the more that's going to come out, so it makes it a little bit wider base so you can... So what's up, you guys? I hope you're enjoying the video so far. I do need to let you guys know that I did film the whole thing, but being that it's been like a year or 11 in the making for this video, I have lost a couple of the parts. But I do have sections that explain what I did, but just on a different geode. So I'm going to splice that in here. So for the most part, the whole video is the original geode. Just this next part is where I have no idea where the video is. I think I have switched phones between then and now, and it has just disappeared into phone space or something. I don't know. So without further ado, here's the splice in of a different geode, but same process. What's up, y'all? So it's been drying now for 30 minutes. And as you can see, it's like squishy, but it's not like coming off on my hands. So it is time for the next round. And I'm basically just going to build up from here. And let me pull you guys down for a second. This right here is going to give you a rough texture on the side of your piece. But if you push it while you are working your way around, it's going to give you a smoother look. So that's kind of more what you need to look for. Just to kind of reduce the amount of work you're going to have to put in in, I guess, post-production. Like after your resin freeform is set up. So I'm going to go around just like I did last time, right on top of my first layer. You want to take your time and make sure that you don't have any air pockets or pinholes during this process.  Super stressful, pretty wasteful because you've got resin just rolling out into nowhere. And then that resin is probably going to have a little bit of pigment in it.  I usually just like fold it up like a tube of toothpaste to make sure I get as much of it out as I can as easy as possible. You can probably even get one of those like toothpaste roller things that like make sure that you get every last drop out. I don't happen to have one of those or I would use it. Doing this process takes a fair amount of silicone. But I've found that taking your time and making a good structure like this allows you to reuse a little bit. So that's awesome. I am out of this one. Lucky me, I have two handy. I'm just going to snip the tip just like I did the first one about halfway down. Now I'm going to take one of my handy dandy ATD stir sticks and kind of like run this along the inside to kind of flatten out and hopefully prevent any pin holes from forming or maybe possibly close in any pin holes that I accidentally may have allowed. And the same on the inside. You could probably also use a popsicle stick. I just, I hate just using a popsicle stick like one time and it being thrown away after that. So our stir sticks are reusable.  Giving a little help out to the environment righty. I'm just going to look around to make sure I don't see anything that might maybe be a pin hole. You should be able to see light through it if you have a weak spot. Alright, I'm going to let this set up for another 30 minutes and then we'll do our last layer. Sup y'all, now that we have our form done and it has dried, I'm looking around all the edges to make sure there are no like little pin holes. And I can see, I can show you guys, right in here. I don't think you're going to be able to see that, but just now, oh, maybe you could just a second there. In there is a pin hole and that will create a massive problem in this piece. So what I'm going to do is just do a little patch on that area with the silicone that I have left over. You can see them right in there. I'm putting this on the outside so that my inside walls are still relatively smooth or at least uniform. You can also just squeeze some just in that area and then smooth it out to make sure it's filled it.  And headache by spending a little bit extra time here instead of scrambling to patch it after you have resin in it. I've made that mistake. Sometimes if you do a little bit longer of a prep, your actual piece turns out better because you don't have any incidentals. Turns out I have quite a few little gappies in here, so I'm just doing what I've got to do to fill those. And if you take good care of this mold, you'll be able to reuse it at least a couple of times. Perfect. Since it's a 30 minute setting silicone, I can go ahead and start mixing my resin and by the time it's set up, this should be good to go. I am going to change my gloves because I don't want to get silicone mixed into my resin. The reason why this works is because silicone kind of repels resin. We're going to check your inside. So the reason why this works is because silicone repels resin. So if you get that mixed into your resin, you're going to give yourself issues. You'll end up with some fish eyes, and that's never a good time. I'm just hitting these little areas with a heat gun to kind of like spur the setting process. I don't know if this does anything, but it makes me feel like I'm helping it to set up faster, so I'm going to do it. So I'll probably end up doing two coats of resin in this piece. Two coats. Two layers because you really don't want to pour anything other than casting resin thick. So I'm going to use craft coat for my first layer. Or you could use quick coated for comfortable or whatever resin you use. I'm going to use craft coat for my first layer. This is by Stone Coat Countertops. You can get this at StoneCoatCountertops.com. And then my second layer, I'm going to use art coat by Stone Coat because that will seal in and protect from any UV that might discolor my artwork. So this is a two-part resin. That means you use equal parts A and B. For my first layer, I'm going to go ahead and premix up 10 ounces. So that means pouring 5 ounces of A and 5 ounces of B. It's really important to get your measurements perfect because if you have too much of resin or too much of hardener, then either your resin will never set or it'll set too quickly. Both of which are horrible options. Go over colors. And for this piece, I'm going to stick to like gray, black, gold, white, that kind of color palette. So I know that I'm going to be using at least four colors. So you want to pour out however much you want of each color represented. Black, gray, white, and gold. And then I have some clear leftover for keeping that see-through kind of look. So the first color I'm going to use is called Whale by Distinctive Concrete Concepts. It's kind of like graphite. I like to use at least one powder because it looks different than pastes. And though in my general artwork, I like to stick to paste over powder. In general, you will hear that you need to stick to about 10% color to resin ratio. I don't know really that much about percentages to be quite frank with you. I usually do about two scoops for powders though for these little three ounce Dixie cups. Because I'm all about those layman's terms, you know? If you pour your resin in and then add your powder and then pour resin on top of it, it will save you from having to do what I was just doing. So now we have a really nice graphite gray check. Next, I'm going to use some 007 gold. This is by Color Obsession. I do have this in my shop, artist-to-death.com. I like to use this in particular because it's got metal flakes in it. I don't know if it's going to focus or not because life. But it has little metal flakes in it that will float to the surface and give a really interesting look. This is actual metal flakes, so make sure not to breathe this. Well, you don't want to breathe Micas either, but particularly not the metal. So if you're sensitive to anything or aren't in a well-ventilated room, make sure to wear a respirator. This stuff looks like molten gold. My favorite gold paste right now is Just Resin's bright gold paste. It's completely brilliant as well. So next, I'm going to use Stonecoats black base tint. I'm using this different than I normally would because I want it to give those little fading striations. Typically, I tell people to use as minimal as possible of this stuff. And I'm going to just slightly over tint this resin. So that it does its little...  And I just poured it in here right here. You can really see it.  It'll end up looking faded and cloudy. And I'm kind of okay with that with this piece though. So I added just a little bit more than I would if I wanted to get and keep cells. So it's fine. Really nice black color. And some whites. I'm going to use Snow White from Color Obsession. I will have this back in stock on the 6th of this month. Which is awesome because as you can see, I'm almost out of my own stock as well. These little spatula deals are super for getting the last bit of resin or pigment out of your jars. Because they'll get up under those lids. Where's mine? This. I think I want to carry these little spatulas in the shop. Make sure all your colors are really well integrated into each other. I mean into the resin. You know what I mean. Right.  I think I want gold in the center and gray. No. Gold. Yeah, maybe gold, gray, black, white, gray, gold. I don't know. Let's just pour it out and see how it goes. Wait. I want to put some clear down. Because I want to have that see-through look. This might end up just diluting my colors, my resin. But it's a risk I'm willing to take, you know? This may be a three level pour. Just looking at how deep my edges are. Let's turn this back around. The other day and right now when I did that first layer, I added 32 ounces of clear to give a depth to it. Now I'm going to add my first like artistic layer. When you're done with that, will you give me some measuring cup? I might have to go over here. Let me just try to plan out what I'm doing here. I have some glitter. Will you hand me the super glitter? I have my glitter. I've got some silver leaves. I've got my art coat. I'm going to use quick coat for the top layers. I use the art coat for the base layers because I just wanted to make it more full. Because if you think about it, you really never see your first couple of layers. It's only the last couple that you see. So I just cut to the chase. Put a filler in there. I also have some of my mica chunks. A lot of these are from Stone Coat. I'm going to use probably this black metal from Stone Coat. This black glitter from Stone Coat.  Most likely from just resin. I have a black ink. You can use new and old smack that thumbs up button. So the way I do my design and artistic layers is that I do one color at a time. Because I use quick coat. Thanks Angie. Thank you very much. This allows us to... Sorry, go ahead. This is our first time catching us live. Oh, welcome. So I only do one color at a time when I do the quick coat design layers. Because I want them to keep more of their... How did I put that? Can you guys hear her okay? Let's change it. Let's change that. I want to keep the line integrity. I'm going to assume... Probably a horrible idea. They can hear you. That one ring on the outside is eight ounces. I don't know for sure. We're going to find out together right now right here right now. How can they hear you and not me?  I'm standing on the other side on the floor. Because I can project. You tend to mumble. So as soon as your part A and part B touch each other, it's a game on and you need to keep in mind what kind of time constraints you're working with. Okay, they can't hear me. I get it. I'm just going to let her talk. Cool. Are you going to read? Well, you have 15-20 minutes working time once your part A and part B touch each other. It makes your part A and part B till they're really well incorporated with each other. It'll run clear. And you won't see the two parts swirling together. This is going to take you about two minutes out of your working time. Well, I'm so glad we never sold those. Yeah, will you hand me a big one? A big one. There's one right next to you. I'm going to need it for the other colors. Also, I forgot my alcohol red. I've got my resin mixed together. I can add the colors. And for the outside, I think I'm going to add a darker layer. Yeah, what would she do with that? I know, I know. So I'm going to use this aluminum. Yeah. When you use a paste, make sure you mix it up really well because even if you just used it yesterday, it could have separated on you. Rule of thumb is 10% paint to resin ratio. Darcy said finally late to TV, even cooler. Awesome. Get my kids to watch also. Hi, Marcy's kids. What's up, Marcy's kids? I love this aluminum. Thanks for joining. Question is, what would Jeff do without Erica? That is also a very good question. Always somebody in the house. I have friends everywhere, Pete. Everywhere. They're watching. Such a beautiful color, y'all. I think I'm going to add just a drop of black ink into this to make it a little bit darker. Can I see this? Yeah. This is an early... Unless you add super much heat to the point of scorching it, you're not going to smell it. Here's the thing. I accidentally dropped some of these little lip bits. Lip bits? I kind of like that random floating lip bit. Lip bit. You know? Should I like that or should I don't? Should I do, should I don't? Should I do, should I don't? That camera is right by your head. I feel like I need to add some dark on the outside of this, but I don't want to mess up what's here. So, like, what do I do? It's all in this area. I'm just going to kind of see where I'm going to get to the outlines. But they were white. And now they're, like, disappeared. Now the question is to add silver leaf, or to not add silver leaf. I'm going to add a black line and a white line on the top to break up some of this glitter. But I'm trying to decide leafing.

At this time, pre-cautions against the resident of SCP-1551 leaving the containment area are not necessary. Description SCP-1551 is a house located in ██████ Argentina. SCP-1551 is associated with a repetitive sequence of events that targets humans, causing them to eventually be forced by circumstances to live in the SCP-1551. These humans are individually assigned a number, so that the first known human under SCP-1551 would be referred to as SCP-1551-01. The second human, SCP-1551-02, the third is SCP-1551-03, and so on. When the previous human living in SCP-1551 dies, the sequence of events associated with SCP-1551 repeats. According to reports dating as far back as 19██, the events have repeated themselves 23 times, with the current individual being SCP-1551-23. Almost all iterations have begun with the previous individual's suicide, with the only exception being an accident from falling off the roof of SCP-1551 during repairs. The exact mechanism of these events are currently unknown, with multiple theories being discussed. See document 1551-01-T for more information. Attentive theory of the events associated with SCP-1551 have been established. See Addendum 1551-T for more details. SCP-1551 appears as a house in an extremely dilapidated state. The building itself is not known to examine anomalous properties, apart from those attributed to the events. See interview log 1551-23-02 for more details. SCP-1551 contains a kitchen, a living room, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. The house has no functioning plumbing, heating, or electricity. The house itself has only basic furnishings, with the current SCP-1551-23 living primarily in the kitchen. SCP-1551-23 is a male Ashkenazi Jewish descent, approximately 43 years of age. Subject spends all of its time attempting to repair SCP-1551. This task is impossible for a single person. The only time he is seen outside of SCP-1551 is to tend to the backyard garden, the only area of the property not in the state of gross disrepair. SCP-1551-23 is fully cooperative towards any Foundation personnel, and has lived on the property for ██ years. The longest of any human that has lived in SCP-1551 since coming into Foundation custody, the average being three months. Addendum SCP-1551-T Through multiple interviews with humans who have lived in SCP-1551 and the collaborative effects of Dr. ██, Dr. ██, and Dr. ██, a tentative theory has been established of the sequence of the events associated with SCP-1551. This sequence is theorized to accommodate minor variations in circumstance and temperament of each instance. This theory states that the purpose of the events is to force a human into a position where occupying SCP-1551 and attempting to repair it unaided is the only option. The sequence comprises two parts. Initially, events place the subject in a situation of relative prosperity, subsequently this prosperity is taken away. The general process of the events associated with SCP-1551 are as follows. The first part of the events typically involves moving the targeted human instance to ██, usually through an offer of work. At this point, if the targeted human was close with their family, they have a misunderstanding which causes them to no longer be on speaking terms. The instance eventually meets and marries a resident of ██. If the couple is fertile, they will have a child before Part II begins. The second part of the sequence begins with the spouse of the targeted human leaving them. The spouse typically takes most of their wealth. Either shortly before or shortly after, the subject will lose their job and become unable to maintain their current standard of living. At this point, they are informed of SCP-1551, which, if repaired, could be bought cheaply and resold for an extremely high price. The targeted human purchases the property over the option of homelessness. If they have any money left, their remaining savings will go towards hiring construction crews, which invariably fail for a wide variety of reasons such as fraud, freak accidents, and sudden bankruptcy of the construction company. Once remaining funds are exhausted, they will move into SCP-1551 themselves and attempt to repair it alone. At this point, the sequence is considered complete until the death of the instance, initiating another iteration. SCP-1551-03 log 1551-23-01, translated from Spanish This interview was to confirm SCP-1551-23's experiencing of the events associated with SCP-1551. Interviewed SCP-1551-23 Interviewer Dr. Jep ██████ began log Please state your name for the record. It's ██████. What do you people want? I already have enough to take care of. Calm down. Answer our questions and we'll let you go. Fine. Tell me how you came to ██████. It's pretty far away from where you're from, right? You speak with an accent. Yes, I'm from ██████. I was looking for work overseas. Got this job offer. Since I already spoke some of the language and they told me I didn't need an interview, I went on over. I worked in manual labor. It was a hard job, but it paid well. What are you doing owning such a house? There are some apartments closest to town. I said was, I'm not working anymore. The company went bankrupt a little while ago. Tried to start a hotel business but stopped because of other matters. Explain. Do you want every facet of my life? Just answer the question and we'll let you go. This is all confidential. I met a pretty girl while working. Her name was ██████. We dated and got married when time for good. Had a baby.  We named him Matthew. Dead one day. Woke up and a little Matthew was ██████. He wasn't here anymore. Taken?  My Matthew was dead. And ██████. Blamed me. Me. I would never have harmed him. She left me and took half my savings with her.  I didn't even have the money to hire a crew for this house anymore. Now leave me alone. Thank you. That'll be all. End log. Interview log 1551-23-02, translated from Spanish. This interview was initially the question SCP-1551-23 about his experiences in SCP-1551 a year after their initial interview. Interviewed SCP-1551-23, interviewer Dr. J-█████ began log. So tell me about your house. It's old. Probably a century maybe more. I didn't do the research.  Thanks, I appreciate it. Going to more detail.  Sometimes I find food in crevices, non-perishable canned stuff. Sometimes I can warm them. Other times I just open them and eat cold. At first I thought it was just the previous person who lived here and forgot to move out with the food. Then I keep finding food in places. Old shelves I was repairing would happen to have some canned soup tucked in the back. I'd explore that cluttered attic and find another stash of food. It's not enough to keep me full, but it's enough to keep me alive. I appreciate it. Note, every agent that has been on duty around SCP-1551-23 has denied this claim. The entity further specified does not match the description of any agent on current roster for SCP-1551-23. Possible anomalous activity is currently undergoing investigation. Is there anything else unusual you find while working on your house? Unusual? Well, it's a pretty old house. There's not like any ghost you mentioned or something. This place gets me down, though. Every time I feel like I'm going to quit this place and get my act together, something comes along and knocks the wind right out of me.  Who exactly?  Who else? Anyways, I… I didn't feel much like doing anything else that day. I just sat around the house and looked at my list. Thank you. That would be all. Endlog Endnotes As a result of this interview, investigations of the potential for anomalous properties manifested by SCP-1551 have been launched as of 2000. Information on these investigations can be found in Document 1551-1.


Hello and this lecture will be taking a look at adjusting journal entries. So we are now on the adjusting process. In the prior lecture we took a look at the journal entries for the period. So that is over here and we end up with this trial balance as of the end of the transactions for the month of May in this case. Now we're going to go to this tab. The adjusting tab is where we are at at this time and we're going to start with the ending trial balance that we ended with in the journal entries tab. So these are the same numbers in the unadjusted trial balance that we have from the prior work and you can see from the formula that we're just basically pulling these numbers into this tab from the prior tab. We're going to take those numbers and we're going to adjust them in the adjusting column and come up to an adjusted trial balance. So instead of us posting these transactions to the general ledger in this piece we're just going to post them to this adjusting worksheet so we can have a very quick glimpse as to where we start, what the adjustment is, and where we end up as we go. So first I want to talk about the general rules for the adjusting process. They're going to be a bit different than the format of questions that I would go through when we are talking about the general journal entries because the adjusting process will be a bit different. We're going to do it as of the end of the time period. Therefore in this case it's the end of the month. Our goal is to make the adjusted trial balance so that it is correct on an accrual basis so that we can use it to make the financial statements as of that point in time, the end of the month, the cutoff period in this time frame. In that in so doing what we're going to do is take a look at which accounts need to be adjusted to be more on an accrual basis. And the questions I would go through to do that would be and will be that we're going to have one balance sheet account above the blue line because the blue line is the separating line between the balancing account and the income statement account. And we're going to have one income statement account down here below the blue line because these are the income statement accounts, income and expenses.  If we go by those rules we can find out which way the accounts are going to be going without even really knowing what is going on, why we're doing it, then we'll of course talk more about why we're doing it. So I'm going to make this a little bit larger here so we can see a bit more of it. Note that we have something that is in balance at the beginning. This is the unadjusted trial balance, assets minus liabilities equals owner's equity and also the debits minus the credits will equal zero indicated by the green zero and the bottom here. We're going to post the transactions into here to come up to our adjusted trial balance. We can see the accounting equation here as well adding up assets, liabilities and those will be equal to liabilities plus the owner's equity in this section as well. Alright so let's start off with A and once again it's going to be as of 531 so I'm going to put 531 for all of these because all of these entries will be as of the end of the month. Insurance expired during May. So if we think about that then there's going to be one account above the blue line related to insurance and we go through here and say hmm what is related to insurance up here how about prepaid insurance so I'm going to highlight that I'm going to make that green just to indicate that that's going to be one that we will be looking at and make this a little bit smaller here and then if we go down below the blue line there's going to be something related to insurance and of course that's going to be insurance expense in this case I'm going to go ahead and make that green and we know that this account below the blue line is an expense account like all these expense accounts they generally only go up they all have debit balances and how are we going to make it go up we're going to do the same thing to it which in this case will be another debit so I'm just going to copy this and say copy that I'm going to put it in so c5 right click and paste it 1 2 3 that's going to be our debit I'm not going to put the amount in there yet but I'm going to think about what the credit account would be and that of course is going to be the other account that we looked at and so the credit if we're going to debit the insurance expense and put that on top then we must be crediting prepaid insurance so I'm going to copy that and I'm going to paste it down here in the second half of our journal entry right click paste it 1 2 3 and sell c6 and you could type it in there I think it's a little bit faster to do this copy and pasting and that we know that we're going to basically debit insurance expense and credit prepaid insurance again without even knowing what we're doing and why we're doing it so now let's talk about what we're doing and why we're doing it so what is prepaid insurance how did it get there prepaid insurance is what we're going to tell our accounting department basically is every time you write a check for insurance just credit cash and then instead of debiting insurance expense we want the accounting department to debit prepaid insurance why because by definition prepaid insurance is something that you pay before you use it oftentimes for more than a month in advance so we might pay for a whole year's policy before we we use the policy under the matching principle we need to expense it as we use it it is not practical for the accounting department necessarily to be on a perfect accrual basis because they would have to make an adjustment maybe even hourly as the policy is being used so in this case we're going to make it correct as of the cutoff date as of the end of the month that's going to be part of the adjusting process which we are doing now so we have now gotten the information from the account department we've instructed them to put all insurance payments into prepaid insurance then we're going to determine how much has expired so in order to do that we're going to look at the policy and see how much time has expired we won't go into that calculation here but just note that there could be two ways that we give the answer we could say this is what prepaid insurance should be as of the end of the time period or we could say this is how much of the prepaid insurance has been used in this case the terminology says insurance expired so that means that we're talking about how much has been used so that means we can just say that the 300 should be the expense so I'm going to debit the 300 and I'm going to credit 300 for the same amount if on the other hand we had said that prepaid insurance as of the end of the period should be so-and-so then in 1200 we would have to take this account and see what we would need to do to it to bring it to the amount that was given so just be careful when you look at prepaid insurance they could ask you in either of those ways so if we post this then let's see what happens I'll post the prepaid insurance we're going to go down here to sell i22 we're an i22 I'm going to select equals and point to the 300 that's going to bring the account from zero up by 300 to 300 and it puts us out of balance brings net income down we increase the expense we're going to go over here to i9 same thing equals but now we're going to point to prepaid insurance this is a debit that's a credit it's going to bring the prepaid insurance down to in this case 1200 so we brought the insurance down by the amount that we consumed in this time period being the month in this case all right so i'm going to ungreen these and take a look at the second transactions go through the same set of questions and same process so B it's also going to be on 531 so if you want to put B in here that would be okay too but just recognize they're all going to be as of 531 because this is our the adjusting process supplies on hand on may 31st are 750 all right so first we're just going to go through questions what's going to be the account above the blue line related to supplies not a trick question supplies possibly could be the one so i'm going to say okay let's make that green we're going to deal with that account note that having the trial balance in front of you is handy i would have a trial balance in front of you at all times and then even if it's not the related trial amounts to the problem can still be useful then there's going to be a count below the blue line on the income statement related to supplies hmm how about supplies expense those look like the two accounts that will be affected and then if we look down here these are expense accounts they all have debit balances represented by the fact they do not have brackets they only go up therefore we're going to make this expense account go up by doing the same thing to it which in this case would be another debit so i'm going to copy that i'm going to put that in cell c8 right click paste it one two three like so and then again i'm not going to put the amount yet i'm going to think about next what the other account will be which of course will be supplies if we debit the expense we're going to credit the supplies we're going to represent that by putting the credit on the bottom so i'm going to copy this i'm going to put it on the bottom in c9 c9 is right there right click and paste it uh one two three and then we have to think about the amount so once again we can kind of think about we can see what we're going to do which counselor effect is which way it's going to go just by thinking through that series of questions for the adjusting process now let's think about why we're doing this and what the amount should be and if we think about hmm supplies how did it get there well when again when we talk about the accounting department over here in the adjusting process we tell the accounting department if in my case if we're a cba firm every time we buy paper in this case we want the accounting department to record it not to supplies expense but they're going to credit cash or accounts payable and debit supplies the asset why because if supplies is significant we should be expensing it as we use it so we're going to set the system up for them to just post it into supplies the asset we then on the adjusting process once a month will fix it by counting the supplies and this will be similar to inventory at a later time seeing how much we have been used and then writing down the supplies to how much has been used so in this case we see that on hand there are supplies of eight eight five zero and we counted it to be seven fifty minus seven fifty so that means that we have used eight eight thousand one hundred so that means that we need to reduce this amount by eight thousand one hundred that's going to be the amount of the transaction in order to get the result to be seven fifty so let's see if that's the case if it doesn't happen if this number doesn't turn out to be seven fifty after we're done we made a mistake so we're going to go here i'm going to put that same formula in here so i'm going to put equals and do that same calculation we did in the calculator of eight eight five zero minus seven fifty enter that's the eight one it's going to be the same debit and credit so i'm going to put negative eight one for the credit i'm going to hit enter that'll put the brackets around it then we can go ahead and post this out i'm going to go scroll down here we are now in cell i 20 we can say equals and then go point to that eight thousand one hundred that's going to bring the balance up from zero to eight thousand one hundred puts us out of balance brings net income down by the amount of the supplies that we have used we're going to go over here to the supplies asset in i seven equals and then scroll down and point to that eight thousand one hundred and enter that's a debit this is a credit brings it down to seven fifty which is what we wanted it to be now supplies is going to be an introduction to inventory we're going to do inventory in a similar type of fashion in that we'll count the inventory and and see how much we have usable for a certain time period also of course many companies may just expense supplies if they are in material so putting it on as an asset and then expensing it will take more time if supplies is not material and it's a smaller a small company or something it may very well be that supplies are just being expensed as they are purchased but it is a good practice of the cruel method to go through this practice it's also a good practice in order to be an intro to inventory which we'll talk about at a later time all right so i'm going to unhighlight these so we can go down the next item and do the same series of questions and five thirty one we're going to go down to see at this time depreciation of office equipment all right so there's going to be an account above the blue line related to depreciation and here's one that has depreciation in it accumulated depreciation long word but we're just going to say okay i bet that one's going to be one that should be affected here then there's going to be an account below the blue line on the income statement related to depreciation how about depreciation expense so again just kind of by the wording we can say those two are affected we know that these are expenses we can see that they all have debit balances expenses only go up therefore we're going to make depreciation expense go up by doing the same thing to it which in this case would be another debit so i'm going to copy that i'm my cursor and c11 right click paste it one two three again i'm not going to put the amount in there yet what we want to do is just see what the other account what's going to be the credit account it's going to go on the bottom and that of course will be accumulated depreciation so if we debit the expense we're going to have to credit the other account i'm going to copy this and paste it underneath paste it one two three so we can see which accounts will be affected which where they will be going without really knowing what depreciation is at all if we go through that series of questions now let's talk about what depreciation is and what is depreciation here a cumulative depreciation up on the balance sheet is in the acid section you'll notice it's green but it's got like a negative or it's got a credit balance in it so what happens with depreciation is that we are buying equipment equipment being something that would be large say like a forklift or something like that when we buy the forklift then we don't just expense it as we purchase it because the forklift will effect the future we'll be using it throughout the future so for example if we bought this forklift for 14 000 and we expenses then that would make net income look very slow in the year of purchase because it would be a large expense and in the following year the net income might be a lot higher by the fact that we're using the same forklift but we purchased it last year so theoretically that doesn't make a lot of sense because the forklift is being used in both years so we want to be able to match net income from year to year we don't want the forklift being purchased in one year to make one year look really bad and next year really good even though the forklift is being used in the both years it makes more sense for us to match the forklift usage or the cost allocated to that usage in the year in which it is being used so that's going to be the idea of depreciation so we're going to
