    She’s funny, intelligent, and I absolutely adore her!! I mean... I did stalk her??? And it worked! Cause here we are. (Kidding... well, kinda) 😛 Iliza Shlesinger joins Jonathan and I on a new episode of #BialikBreakdown to talk about everyone’s least favorite thing in the world - stress, and how it can cause physical impact. Or in other words, mind-body syndrome. We discuss more of that in the episode! If I wasn’t laughing then I was probably trying NOT to laugh while recording this podcast. Seriously!! ILIZA IS HILARIOUS. 😂🤣 Such a fun and important conversation.

      Thanks for this video. I'm surprised Iliza wasn't screened for connective tissue disorders (CTD). Neck and back problems are common in women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and similar CTDs.
      Clinicians had said it was "stress" for me; it wasn't. It was EDS and subluxed C1 and C2 discs, craniocervical instability, and tethered cord. My chronic pain was over in the matter of seconds because I sought out an EDS research clinician who stabilized my C1 and C2. It's incredibly, incredibly under-diagnosed.

    "How could she make a joke about someone dying?" I've offended a few that way. I'm a widow. Our twin sons wanted to dress up as their deceased dad for Halloween as a joint costume. One wore his work clothes, the other was a ghost. Their idea...because they knew their dad would find it hilarious looking down from heaven. We know his sense of humor. (and their grief therapist approved, and laughed)

      This is beautiful! I think some people think that we would be somehow tricking our way around the pain involved with loss by acting like that. It is not true. It is just the fitting counterpart to crying that is needed in order to deal with the process and heal and finally come out of it with something beautiful. It is certainly what I would want my family to do when my time has come, knowing it is for the best for all of us.

    “why are we killing ourselves trying to force our bodies to be something that you physically can’t?” I felt that

    • @agod5608
      @agod5608 3 роки тому +1

      We are attempting to physically evolve into our spatial environment, to escape the terrarium reality. Thereby being able to take our bodies with us as we colonize space. As if now we can only colonize space in the form of energy.vthis means a total seperation of church,(soul/life)/state, (body and physical senses). This leaves us to be an intuitive spirit in the energy form only. Only through rebirth can we reenter this dimension. This is why no one returns from the energy plane, after the seperation occurs. When you return yourmories would be a secondary dualism, causing a four part harmonic consciousness. (Two pair, as opposed to one pair) of mind body dualisms. The original would be memory only, and and the present would be perspective only.
      I was friends with a man whom had terminal cancer. We made a pact, he would return when his new younger body became of legal age. It matters not whether he returns or not, the object was to have the opportunity, to leave behind an anchor, which would remain to link the original to the younger, by being witness in both the original, and the new life. This is his eighteenth year, and I fully expect , afterward, he can return at any time. In his original life he was 10 years older than me. In his new life, I am 52 years older than him. In his original life he was the elder, in his new life, I am the elder. Hope this analogy helps.

      I feel like Mayim knows about German New Medicine, but will get cancelled if she talks about it. There's no such thing that some diseases you can "catch", but not all. It's not that complex! If you can't "catch" cancer, diabetes, MS, arthritis, etc., from other people, then you can't "catch" colds, flu and Boogey Viruses. So governments around the world are CAUSING fear frights in everyone based on an unproven THEORY by one man, Louis Pastaur, who redacted his claim of the germ theory on his death bed, yet no one listened. So of course, when everyone is allowed to escape the hostage situation the governments have put their people into, and they start relaxing about the Boogey Virus, that's not in any way transmissible, they will begin their healing phase (get sick), and believe they then have it, and more panic will ensue as well as martial law. The longer people allow this government to hold them hostage in their homes, the more severe the "sickness" will be. Can anyone put 2 and 2 together to figure out what I'm saying?? Western Medicine is pure fraud, and people's lives are destroyed because of it. There's no critical thinking anymore. The group thinkers are moronic and brain dead. People think they're educated because they've memorized the lies they've been told for 100 years.

The last 9 years with out all the medications or a doctor that can help me without drugging me. It’s been incredibly hard and at times I have nearly impossible. It would be awesome to hear her knowledge on this. However, I am going to look the doctor she spoke of in this episode and study on that. I will keep you in my prayers Jamie.

    Sometimes the universe gives you what you need. I’m sitting on a heating pad and icing my neck and this popped into my suggested. I’m a UA-cam junkie because I keep the iPad in my face so I’m not focused on my pain levels. For the past 11 years, I’ve been “managing” my chronic illness which I’ve come to call “lupus and friends”. All the rheumatological things. Went from 35, thriving working full time, extremely involved single parent, full social life to in bed in uncontrolled pain, “what is happening to me, someone fix this”. I went to the ER expecting at minimum an answer but seriously hoping they had a resident Dr. House-like team at best. Yeah, they don’t do that. “Get a referral” is the answer I got. So here I am, crying listening to this interview of two women I admire and adore and just knowing someone gets what living in this pain is like is amazing. I’m yelling “me too,” about the Lady Gaga documentary. Honestly, I paused the video and sent my husband to Vromans for the book. I can’t tell you how awesome this friendship existing is. It’s also a great show that’s helping people.

    I'll admit Iliza's beautiful looks are what first caught my eye - for at least the first minute or so. Immediately after, I unexpectedly and delightfully found myself entangled within her stories, presentation, attitude and mind. I was irrecoverably addicted. Iliza's humility, humanity and observational brilliance continually amazes me. Iliza is a profoundly astute student of the human condition in every sense, which explains her humor and why you two relate so well.
    You simply can't get bored with Iliza - and that's a refreshing compliment to give someone in a world that's lost its sense of shame.

    Thank you. thank you so much.. I've been in excruciating pain due to 2 herniated discs for 10 months now, and I can't tell you how relieved I feel knowing that I'm not the only one crying from physical pain in the middle of the night, after too much sleep deprivation and painkillers. It's lonely, it's scary, and it's dark. I'm a 43 year old strong woman, with no previous serious health problems, and this hit me after 4 years of codependency with a narcissist husband. The minute I ran away, my body broke down. Literally: the day after getting myself to safety, I couldn't walk anymore. The holistic approach is no hippy fairy dust: it shines a light on the powerful connection between our minds and our bodies, a connection that needs to be respected and treated. There is only so much that we can put ourselves through, and our bodies will make sure to let us know if we refuse to listen to reason. Thank you for making me feel seen.

    Yes! 2 amazing women in 1 great episode. My wife and I originally found Iliza on Netflix and watched EVERY special immediately! Loved each one start to finish, then booked tickets to her upcoming gig in London. We and I have had the pleasure of meeting her backstage after the show to take photos and get autographs. As expected, Iliza is so down to Earth and friendly. She really does appreciate the love and time her fans offer.
    I come under that boring group of straight, white males so rarely voice an opinion on anything. So even as a man, Iliza got me into female stand-up comedians and we've watched so many since watching her. The ribbing joke at men when it comes to dating, sex, etc are hilarious - because they're true. It's brilliant! As you say, she's (of course) funny and beautiful, but tough, confident and ballsy. I love it! I think I can relate to her more as I am also a 37 year old "Elder Millennial" or Xennial if I may (that's a whole other debate!) with no kids.
    I've always felt that worrying about what others think of me is my worst personality trait and I really struggle with it. As a guy watching this, it was full of truths (that don't necessarily affect me) and extremely educational. On behalf of (most) men I'd like women to know that Iliza isn't wrong. We don't have hugely high, unrealistic expectations when it comes to looks. I am by no means a dictionary definition 'handsome man" so why should I expect my wife to look the same? Also, we met when she was 19 and I was 26. My wife was incredibly thin, some might say too think. She has, of course, filled out a little bit since and I feel she looks better for it. What sort of a**hole would I be to expect her to look the way she did at 19 when she's about to turn 30? I don't look the same either. I mean, she's 8 years my junior and 6' tall and I''m...well I'm not 6", haha! I'm damn lucky to have her in my life and be happy enough to want to stay with me. Soulmate's do exist and you both feel lucky to have the other, I promise.
    We also have tickets to see Iliza in London again that have been re-scheduled twice already due to COVID, so that's something to look forward to. One thing that sucks about being in the UK is we don't seem to have access to any of Iliza's other shows such as Truth & Iliza

And, that we do it with the most devastatingly combination of humanity and love that can exist and still nuture life. Without you, Mayam, I don't think the the world would know that such pain is endurable. Joy always!

    Mayim is so fucking smart, funny, strong and beautiful and her energy is so soothing to be around and it makes me sad that society can make even amazing women like this feel insecure about their looks. I look up to her so much.

    I went to better health immediately after you mentioned it. Truly, just the thought of trying to find a therapist is so daunting and so overwhelming. Finding someone that your insurance accepts, finding one that's accepting new patients, finding one that has the right speciality, finding one that's local to you, and (most importantly) finding someone that you connect with. It's enough to make most people avoid the process entirely.

    I found this video immediately after watching Eliza's Stand up routine. I'm literally crying with joy in anticipation of receiving Dr. Sarno's book! I have had (3)discectomies, they were "ruptured". Also a sliver of bone had been lodged into the sciatic nerve (1) fusion.
    I'm (55) yrs. old now...injured at (16) yrs. I lived with these ruptures w/out help (no insurance) for (15) years. Anyway, tried narcotics, horrible. I do not leave bed much, as I cannot stand or sit for more than a few minutes at the time. I am in a virtual prison. I'm hopeful now, excited, that I may finally learn to manage BETTER! I'm so tired of praying for death to come. Not healthy! Thank you sooooo much. ❤

    I grew up being very petite but as I reached the age of 19, I gained a lot and i wasn’t happy about it. I loathed myself because I wasn’t used to feeling kinda heavy, i got irate. I deprived myself from eating just to achieve again my “petite” body but it did not. the people around me was shocked and i remember them saying mean things to me. it did hurt me, physically, emotionally and mentally. but now, as I learn the science behind these changes in our bodies, I accept it. and I said to myself that my body doesn’t define who I am. thank you for this podcast missmayim and mr. jonathan and ofcourse, iliza❤️ I SUPER LOVE THIS EPISODE.

    Laughs, tears.
    I have chronic pain (including fibromyalgia, arthritis and more) and deal with things that my doctors don't understand. So hearing someone else's story of trying to find that answer to what is causing this pain... it felt so familiar. I have dealt with sciatica to the point not being able to stand up straight. I was right there with Iliza, knowing how that feels to be in tears because of intense pain, and not able to sleep. And the toll that takes on you. (My depression and anxiety are greatly effected by my chronic. And some of my darkest mental/emotional times have been from physical pain that felt so out of my control)
    I normally don't watch videos this long on UA-cam, because I'm in a different mindset than when I'm listening to podcasts on Overcast. But this one, I have watched all the way through. Because I've been there. (I'm also moving more towards holistic/hippy ways of managing my health, not just popping pills to knock the rough edges off a couple symptoms. So hearing about some of these new to me ideas has been enlightening... Though at times my overly analytical mind cuts me off, wondering how it all works)
    Thank you for sharing this! 💜

    I wish Mayim was near where I live. I have been in chronic pain for approximately27 years. Every Doc I have talked to never gives me an opinion. I do have a great surgeon. When my legs stopped functioning at my place of employment. The guy walking back to my work center asked why I face planted on cement. When you have back pain every single person without pain thinks your looking for special treatment and are scamming your employer. I went through it all. I would certainly enjoy speaking with Mayim.You are a special special person.

    The last 5 minutes!!! The pain clinic (government health system) I did a program with for 3 months last year was mostly about this! We did a lot of stretching, relaxation, understanding of the mind-body connection psychological/emotional-physical connection, self awareness, mindfulness, plus learning other ways to human. Scientifically/medically it all is recognised now as not just hocus pocus! The “it’s all in your head” is now no longer an insult because a lot of it is in our head and causes our physical pain and vice versa!

What helps me is: CONSCIOUSLY bending my inner self-criticisms into :THIS is THE challenge for now. I can really feel the difference in anxiety levels. I could go on forever, but I would rather watch your next episode!

    I am not a person that externalizes the real things that bother me, and the past couple of years I've made a real effort to reduce the effects of it on my body. I feel like I have a weird advantage, when I was 16 I started taking ballet classes and our teacher covered the mirrors saying that we had to know without seeing, every little movement our bodies made. So that made more aware of the moments when stress was having a physical effect on me. So to my ballet teacher from 10 years ago, thank you for teaching me this level of awareness that has helped me realize I was grinding my teeth and raising my shoulders to my ears.
