Andrew Mitchem
Hey there traders Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach.
The relationship between health and trading.
Do you know in 21 years have been a full time trader? I’ve never seen herd watched a video or a podcast or seen an e-book ever about health and how it relates to your trading. Now, a few weeks ago, I received an email from Doctor Joe Jacko, who’s been a doctor in the US for over 36 years.
[Intro Jingle]
His methods and his beliefs in health and well-being a massive. And they align with the way that I think as well. It’s something I think is underestimated. And as mentioned, I’ve never seen anybody talk about health and how it relates to your trading, ever. So I jumped on the opportunity to have a chat with Doctor Joe. And I think you’re going to be fascinated by it and our beliefs and how it can help you as a person with your overall health, mental fitness, well-being and how it can relate to your trading success. So let’s jump into it right now. This is weekly video and podcast number 651.
It’s Andrew here at The Forex Trading Coach. And something different for you today.
Dr Joe Jacko introduction.
Really excited by the chat we’re going to have today with Joe Jacko from Columbus, Ohio over in the US. Joe’s a physician and medical doctor. And we’re going to be talking medicine and banking and finance and talking about the press, things that have happened over the last number of years and how we can help you to potentially think a little bit differently to help you with your, your medical and your financial situation.
So welcome along, Joe. Great to have you here.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. Thank you Andrew, I appreciate the opportunity.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. Really looking forward to this because I think we think a line on on many things in life. Joe where.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Would you like to start? Like, hey, before we start, can I just acknowledge your work that you do and bring in timely financial matters to your listeners?
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. Cool. Thank you.
Dr. Joe Jacko
I appreciate that appreciate it. I hope they continue to give you a good rating so you can continue to do that.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. Look, I mean we work hard to make it work for people. You know, we’re real people. We don’t pretend that we’re in some high rise in London or New York where I’m stood here, you know, shorts on, no shoes on, talking to you here, dressed up at the top to make it look a little bit more professional.
But, you know, we’re real people doing real things. So that’s why, you know, I think it works. We’re not we’re not pretending to be something we’re not. Yeah. Joe, maybe if you could give everybody a bit of a background, over what you do, what you found, and what you’d like to discuss in this video and podcast.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Sure. Well, I’m starting my 37th year in clinical practice. And in addition to practicing, what I primarily do now is try to help patients navigate the medical information landscape. I think we all know that there’s some misinformation out there, and I also help patients try to regain control of their health by helping them ask questions of their doctors so they get the most complete information.
Okay. And interesting enough, you know, some of this misinformation out there, it really comes from the profession itself. And people may find it surprised to hear that from a physician or a doctor. But it’s taken me about two thirds of my career to come to that conclusion that sometimes we in the profession are the problem, right?
Are doctors and the medical industry to blame?
Andrew Mitchem
Was there any one particular time or point something happened that made you kind of change?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yes, there are three. So I wrote a book that kind of goes over all this and it’s called bamboozled, duped and hoodwinked. The keys to escaping the tricks, deceptions and the half truths of the medical industry. And I point to three incidents in the in the book. So one was fairly about halfway through my career. I was given a talk on anabolic steroids.
And as I researched, did I realize that a lot of what we were taught as physicians was not complete and that these steroids, although, you know, I don’t encourage their use, they weren’t nearly as dangerous as we were being taught as physicians. And we were in turn trying to scare our athletes from using it. And then the third incident was really had to do with Covid.
And I just really thought we went off the rails in terms of our ethics. And I had a hard time following the crowd on that one. Yeah, yeah.
Andrew Mitchem
Me too.
Dr. Joe Jacko
And that’s that’s what prompted me to write the book.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. Interesting. That’s really interesting. You talk about book, completely different type of topic. But years ago I thought and I said to my wife, I want to write a book called The Ants and the bees. And the reason I wanted to record it, the ants and the bees, is because you get the bees ordering the hard work. The ants order in the hard work, and they’re all following that pattern, that routine.
And I think within society today, more especially now than ever. And like I said, a lot of people kind of woke up during the Covid era, both on that financial and that medical side of things. Everybody just blindly follows what the press say, what the news says. And I don’t know whether it’s they don’t have time or they don’t want to know in terms of looking elsewhere.
We’re not taught to think for ourselves.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right. Yeah. We’re kind of taught to I think we’re all taught to just kind of blindly follow our leaders and our authorities, and we need to take some time and take a step back and really think for ourselves. And in fact, in the book, I dedicate the book to the independent thinker. And I think that’s the audience that you’re appealing to, the person who will question things and come to their own conclusions.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, that’s right. And in finances as well. Like I remember as a kid growing up on the farm, a parent’s used to get like the bank manager coming back in the day when the bank manager turned up at your place and they said, this is what you need to do to get to retirement. And, and I was thinking, even like at ten years old, I was sitting there thinking, that sounds boring.
You know, you’re working and working and working in the hope that you get to 60 or now it’s probably closer to 70. And these days most people are not in a good physical condition. Time to get to 70 to actually go and enjoy that life. And I thought.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah, we’re kind of caught between our age, our, our health and our wealth, and rarely to all three of them lined up to take advantage of the situation.
Andrew Mitchem
Correct. And I think there’s a mindset thing as well. You know, there’s a whole, you know, that whole rat race going on and people are just getting more and more sort of blindly following what they have to do. You know, they get up because of their llamas. They’re so to go to work for someone else, to sit in traffic, to dress really nicely, to please someone else, to come home.
And it’s dark. The kids have been looked after by someone else. They’re tired, they eat rubbish, they go to sleep and repeat and it’s like, surely there’s a better way than this.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah, we’re definitely in a rat race, and I’m sure you probably want your listeners to get their money to work for them instead of them working for their money.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, you’re right. And there is that about it. And there’s also the fact that they need to, you know, people want to become independently, you know, sort of able to do this. I think that’s one of the things it’s like, well, if you hand your money over to someone else or these days a robot or AI or something like that, and even if it makes you some money, there’s no mental stimulation.
There’s no like, you know, I will say to my, my traders, you got to control your head, in your heart in trading because obviously it’s finances and emotion. But also I think the positive is if you know what you’re doing and you can invest for yourself and you get a good outcome, how good that makes you feel, because you know, you can continue to do this.
Whereas if you hand your money over, you don’t know what they’re doing with it. Is it? You know what happens when results start going against you? You start getting a bit nervous.
Self-educate yourself and do your own research.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah, you want to work with expert, but at the same time, I think you really want to self educate yourself on regardless of the topic, so that you know what questions to ask your experts, whether it be your financial planner or your your physician. Absolutely. And yeah, you need to be well educated. That’s one of the things I really encourage with my patients.
And in the book is everybody’s got to do their own research. Yes. So that, you know, what questions to ask your physician and make sure you’re getting all the information you need.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. I mean, I see the, you know, the supposed healthcare system as not health care system. It’s like, you know, its appeal system and it’s a money system, right? Whereas there’s so many other things that people with a little bit of simple research could go and do to go more natural or look after themselves physically and mentally. I find that with the trading point of view is that, you know, mentally you need to be alert.
Obviously, to do this properly and physically you need to be in good shape because, you know, a lot of people are sitting at a desk all the time, and I think it’s really important that you don’t sit looking at like from a trading point of view at charts all the time. You make your decision. Place your trades, shut the computer off, walk away, do something else.
And I think that whole work life balance can be a, you know, achieved once you know what you’re doing, right?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. Need some balance. Definitely got to quit sitting as much as we sit.
Andrew Mitchem
I’m standing right now. Yeah.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Well I’m sitting.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, no, I stand. I like I said to you, you know, before we started, I wear my blue light blocker glasses at the screen normally, you know, we try to do all these things to look after our health. And what would you suggest in terms of maybe some, you know, tips and tricks for information of people, what they can do to look after the health, maybe differently to what they’re doing now.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Well, you know, we we tend to make everything more complicated than it really is. And a lot of the best advice are things you, grandmother or great grandmother probably told you in terms of getting some exercise, eating moderate eating, a well-balanced diet, handling stress, getting adequate sleep. And so that’s those are the things I would really focus on are more lifestyle.
Now there’s a role for medications and there’s a role for supplements and other types of modalities. And what you really need is a physician or a provider that has a little bit of background in, in all these things, so they can steer you in the right direction for your particular problem. Yeah. One of the problems in the healthcare industry is we’re all of us, regardless of our specialty or discipline.
We’re all kind of siloed in a certain area. So if you go to a surgeon, they’re going to talk to you about surgery. If you go to an internal medicine doctor like myself, we’re going to talk to you about medications. If you go to an acupuncturist, they’re going to talk to you about putting needles in you. And so, you know, you kind of we kind of select out what what we think we want and that determines who we who we see.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. That’s interesting, isn’t it? You don’t ever really get that full all round health comment. And like you said, how many times do people go to the doctor and the doctor says, oh, here’s a pill for that. But they never say, oh, what’s your home environment like? Or what food are you eating? Or how much sleep are you getting?
You know that? How much sunshine are you getting? You know, people very rarely get that. In fact, we’ve been frightened to think the sun is bad for us in most cases, right?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right. So, yeah, we have to you got to get a lot of much information as you can from a wide range of people. And so what I do is try to help them ask the right questions. We have a little cheat sheet that we give our patients on like seven questions that you should ask your doctor. And these questions are designed to number one, you want a doctor that’s going to partner with you, which is at least here in the US, is pretty rare.
We’ve kind of adopted this model here in the US that I’m the doctor, you’re the patient, you’re going to do what I tell you. And if you don’t, you know you’re out the door. Yeah. And I never really saw the value in that. I think the best care is when you were partnering with you, the the patient and doctor are partnering together, working towards a common goal.
Yes. And you know, that requires time. You got to get to know your patient and find out what their interests are and what their needs are and what they’re hoping to get out of their health and their life.
Andrew Mitchem
It’s interesting. I saw a very well known, I won’t mention his name, British doctor and cardiologist who came to New Zealand a few years ago during the whole Covid times, and he did a complete flip in terms of he was very pro, you know, the medical system. And then he saw what was happening and he changed his whole opinion, and he gave a speech not too far away from me here.
And we went to see him. And he said, it’s incredible the amount of there’s a lot of reasons why he thought that doctors are kind of stuck in the system. One is obviously the monetary and the incentive side of things to push certain products. But also, he said, they’re so busy that they just don’t have time to do automated research and, you know, the next person’s waiting and then the next one’s waiting.
You’ve got to get numbers through the door. But also, he said that during their training, the amount of time they spend on nutrition and things like that is like a week out of 5 or 7 years. It’s such a small amount of time.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah, you make a couple of good points. We are so busy doing clerical work, I think we don’t answer up and say, just tell me what to do and I’ll do it. Yeah. So we become these little compliant worker bees. Yes. And so some of that’s our fault though too. So that’s a big problem. So those are two good points that you made there.
Food – the good, bad and the ugly.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah I thought it was fascinating that he came out with those points. What can people do in terms of like food. You know I was in the States last year for a month on holiday or vacation with my wife. We had some amazing food. I’m a big, you know, barbecue meat eater. I had some great food. And then you look around at some of the packaging food and the volume of food that people have and the man of sugar.
And you look at it and you think, my goodness, that’s a that’s a problem.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. The American diet is probably not the diet you want to follow.
Andrew Mitchem
Not really. No.
Dr. Joe Jacko
And the serving got the restaurants are huge. They’re usually enough for two people. And then you know, we had the World Cup here in the US and we had a lot of people from other countries coming here. And a lot of things they were talking about was the food. Yes. And the servings and just the wise variety of selection.
Yet you can get here in the US. Yeah, but our food is pretty doctored up. It’s very tainted and highly processed and manufactured and not the healthiest.
Andrew Mitchem
What can like. I’m very lucky. We live on 11 acres. We grow our own food as best we can. We live kind of, you know, self-sufficient, mostly. And that includes, like, water as well with rain water and treat it and things like that, you know, grow our own food, meats, etc. but obviously not everybody can do that either time wise or available land.
And what kind of things could people do who don’t have that space available to grow some food? Is there a few things.
Dr. Joe Jacko
In terms of the food you want to eat, things that are most natural state as as possible? Yes. So that means really avoiding the processed foods. There’s maybe 3 or 4 simple tips that I tell with most patients. Number one, chip shop the perimeter of the grocery store and don’t and try to avoid anything the box bad bad can or jar.
Yes. Which is pretty difficult. And the other thing really important nowadays we’re learning more about these microplastics. Yeah. Invading like all our live our heart but even our brain, you know, many of us are walking around with a teaspoon of plastic in our brain.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, yeah.
Dr. Joe Jacko
And so you really want to avoid the plastic? You know, I think we need to go back to paper and glass as much as possible.
Andrew Mitchem
Absolutely. Glass for storage.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right.
Andrew Mitchem
Absolutely. What about things like farmers markets and organic markets. Oh yeah. Yeah. You know those type of things as well. If you have.
Dr. Joe Jacko
You know, I don’t know how it is in New Zealand, but in the US, the food labels are really kind of misleading because they have a lot of leeway. So it says, you know, 20g of protein, it may only be 16. And if it says, you know, only 100 calories, it may be 120. And if you know the trans fat thing too, it could be 1%.
They can get away with saying zero, those types of things.
Andrew Mitchem
And so you would be seeing a definite relationship, I’m guessing, between people who are healthy and they’ve got physically, and then they have the mental stimulation to be able to go and, you know, think and work at certain things. Whereas other people who are getting more and more potential beasts and, you know, they’re not thinking with clarity, would there be some kind of relationship there.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right, that if if you were to take most patients complaints and distilled into one word, what they want is energy? Yes. And so people who are eating properly and exercising, they tend to have more energy and they’re just more optimistic. And they kind of get into an upward spiral. And people who aren’t exercising and eating poor food, they’re defeated and tired.
Their mental outlook is down. So like for people with mental health disorders, one of the things they should do is really the first thing they probably should do is change their diet.
Andrew Mitchem
Yes. Yeah, absolutely.
Dr. Joe Jacko
So you get a little bit exercise before, you know, before we start promoting medications. And although there’s a role for those but we’re too quick in here, at least in the US, to prescribe medications for a lot of things that can be addressed through lifestyle.
Physical work and exercise.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, absolutely. And what about getting outside as opposed to you see, like a lot of people like personally, I’m not a gym person. I couldn’t think of anything worse, only because I had the ability to get out inside in a beautiful environment and do physical work, and I get more mental stimulation from, you know, chainsaw and cutting logs, for example, or gardening.
Then I would pumping iron all day in a gym. So to me, fresh air and sunshine is just as important.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Well, for sure. I mean, as soon as I get home from the office, I go out on my deck at my home and I actually do some work out there with this, you know, sun beating in my eyes. Although we don’t get a lot sun here in Ohio, but not like you do there in New Zealand. But you make a good point.
You don’t have to do the structured exercise, you just have to be active. So if it’s walking or chopping, chopping wood, that’s great. Yeah. You only have to be pumping iron.
Andrew Mitchem
No.
Dr. Joe Jacko
No, I’m sure you’re aware of the blue zones and a lot of those, you know, those are places throughout the world where people tend to live. A higher percentage of people live to be 100. They’re just generally active. They have their own gardener kind of doing what you’re doing. They’re growing some of their own food. Yes. And they’re just physically active throughout the day without necessarily weightlifting and you know.
Right, right.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah. You don’t need to go and drip sweat just to be fit. You just need to be outside doing things. And.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right. Most of us are center we. That’s kind of a quick way to correct that problem is to go to the gym.
Andrew Mitchem
Oh yeah. Yeah. No, I, you know, fully accept that for some people that’s their option, which is absolutely fine. But I think if you.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Have you talk about being outdoors, you know, one of the things we didn’t do in Covid compared to the Spanish flu back in 1918 and 1920, when they go back, the people who fared well during that Spanish flu outbreak, they were treated outdoors. That’s right. And in sunlight. And during Covid, we did a complete opposite. We locked people up and shut them out indoors and had them surrounded by other sick people.
Andrew Mitchem
Well, we were told here by our very famous, but not my best friend at the time, Prime Minister, don’t go out. Don’t talk to your neighbors. Don’t do this. Don’t do that. Phone up someone who you see talking. You know, it was it was awful. The the fear that they put into people at that time was just horrendous.
And it had no mental health benefits at all, right.
Dr. Joe Jacko
And unfortunately, I think all our institutions do that, whether it be the education system, the banking and financing, we we are they motivate us by fear.
People still follow and trust the mainstream media.
Andrew Mitchem
Correct. So that leads on nicely then to things like press, TV, media and whether it be finance or health or anything else. Why is it do you think that so many people are trusting in those institutions, even though with a bit of thought you can see that most of them are not good, but people blindly continue to watch, listen, read.
But also the thing that annoys me is that whether it be again be finance or through financial crashes or whatever it might be, governments, councils, most of those people with authority don’t end up having any consequence. So then we believe the next one thinking they’re going to be better. We vote in a new government thinking they’re going to be better, right?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah, we we’re just conditioned, I think, for the registration system to trust authority. And you can respect them, but you don’t necessarily have to trust them all the time. And I think the hard part is trying to figure out when can you trust them and when when you cannot. Yes. And I think there’s you know, I think we all have like, this built in radar that tells us, you know, something’s not adding up here.
And whether it be, you know, with financial information or medical information, whenever that happens, you really need, you know, you really need to trust your instincts on that. And then take a step back and start asking some, some questions. And probably the most important question is why? And if he has that long enough, generally you get to the core of a problem.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s right. You keep asking why? Why someone saying this? What’s happening here? Why? Yeah.
Dr. Joe Jacko
And the other thing too is I think we, you know, we kind of email this, that we tend to trust people who really pay no consequence for the poor decisions they make on our behalf.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s right. Yeah. There’s no consequence for most things, are they?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. They don’t pay any consequence for their bad decisions and we have to live with them.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s right. And as traders or people in business, people who are self-employed, business owners, if you make bad decisions, there are consequences. Clearly, you know, bad trade, bad results, lose your business. People become unemployed. But it just staggers me how these people move on or get taken on by another institution somewhere else, even though they’ve obviously failed at what they did.
You know, last.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Time, I think in government you kind of fail up, you know?
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, yeah, it seems to be. And it’s amazing that they get more and more money or they retire. They still get these huge retainers or security, whatever it might be. Perks of travel. Yet they completely failed at what they did. And people are just hoping that the next person in charge is going to be the one to trust this time, right?
Dr. Joe Jacko
I think that it gets to the point of you. You have to rely more on yourself. And I don’t think I think we’re too quick to want other people to solve our problems, particularly if it’s the government. Yes. And generally they make generally they create the problem and then they try to fix it and they make it worse in the in the process.
Least. You know, that would be my opinion.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s right. Yeah. Yeah. And one of the things I find with a lot of people who I teach is they generally, you know, the good people who do well are the ones who are independent thinking, who do want to do something a little bit different, who don’t want to rely on. Here’s some money handed over to the bank or whoever it might be.
And you don’t have to do that with all your funds. And you know you can trade for other people, but it’s just there are other ways of of creating a passive income. And also.
Dr. Joe Jacko
I think a lot of people are afraid to make mistakes. So they correct. They’re very so they’re not willing to try new things, whether it be investing in forex or bitcoin or something else. They don’t want to take the time to learn how to do it properly.
Andrew Mitchem
Yes. Is there also that fear of being looked at slightly differently? I know when I started into trading, I just sort of recently got divorced, but I was looking after a young child and I remember people saying to me, oh, look, you need to go and get yourself a proper job. And, you know, and, and I thought, well, I can’t actually go and do that.
I’m looking after a kid. And, you know, it’s quite hard to do that. But, you know, there was always that in the back of my mind, everybody says, go get yourself a real job. You know, you’re wasting your time doing this. And I see that whether it’s finances or, you know, people when it comes to medicine, they just want to follow what other people, what you perceive other people think you should do.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right? Yeah, we’re pretty motivated. Or we tend to leave lead lives that we expect. We that others think they want us to leave. So we’re trying to keep them happy rather than trying to really do what we really what we really want to pursue.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s right. Yeah, exactly. And and as we all know, life.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Be a little quick.
Andrew Mitchem
I’m sorry.
Dr. Joe Jacko
You have to be a little stubborn and stick to your guns. This is what I want to do. This is what I’m going to do it. And, you know, heck, with everybody else out there.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, I think the whole black sheep mentality is not a bad one. You know, it’s, it’s good to be different. You know, you’re not going to get it right every time, especially as like an entrepreneur type of person or, you know, thinking differently about your health. It’s not everything’s going to be perfect. But I think.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Well, you know, security is part of that. We think. Yeah. And so I think we feel comfortable if we’re part of the majority. And I historically have found that I do better if I go the opposite direction. You know.
Andrew Mitchem
It’s like that phrase you hear, you know, you always hear the when you jump in the back of a taxi or, and Uber. And if a cab driver says by then you sell and then do the opposite. Hearing is the majority and you’ll probably do quite well.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Right?
Health cheat sheet – link is in the description.
Andrew Mitchem
So, Joe, what can like what can you offer people? How can obviously we have a, you know, the forest training coach. We have clients right around the world. You know, people are always interested in health and finances because I think the two correlate massively together. And what can people do to find you? What can you help them with?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Sure. Well, I have a website called JackoMD180.com and we do have an offer for your for your listeners. And it’s called the Energy Reclaim Playbook. So what they’ll do is they’ll go to forecast forex excuse me Forex.JackoMD180.com and they’ll put in some information and then we’ll send them some a couple components.
One will be a trial of the website which has about 1200 articles that will teach you how to regain your energy. Both exercise, nutrition and I do a lot of hormone replacement to particularly with males. And then we also have that doctor cheat sheet I was referring to where we have seven questions that are designed to help them find a physician that will partner with them, that will work with them and help them, you know, reach their health goals, as well as teaching you questions to ask so that you get the best information and all the information you need to make the best healthcare decision for yourself.
A lot of times we’re kind of making the decisions for our patients, by the way we present the information and we’re kind of leading you down a direction we want you to go, and not necessarily one that’s best for you. So if they go to the Forex.JackoMD180.com, they can put in their information and we’ll be sending some information to their inbox.
Andrew Mitchem
Awesome. Thank you for that. And of course I’ll put a link to that website as well that URL here. Do you think that it’s probably the health side of things is probably a combination of a lot of things? You know, to me, there’s not just one answer and, you know, it’s from I’ll give you an example of the things that I try and I don’t know which ones are better or worse.
You know, I do grounding, so I try to wear no shoes as much as possible. Have a grounding met on the bed. I drink lemons and two and ginger and garlic. Each day. I do the sauna and the cold plunge and you know the physical work. There’s all these things like the blue light blocker, glasses for the screens and all those type of things, and I can’t tell you which one’s better or worse, but I know that a combination of all of them, the different types of waters that I drink, hydrogen, water, they all add up to make you feel better.
Would you agree.
Dr. Joe Jacko
That the whole key is to tip the odds in your favor, that you’ll live healthy and not only healthy and longer and more productive lives, that you can have ongoing impact on those around you? So much of what you’re doing is what our practice does here in Ohio. You know, we have a medical practice, but we also have a fitness center.
We have hot, hot saunas and coal plunges. So yeah. So I think you just want to stay stay current on the on the literature and try to incorporate those things into your daily routine as much as possible. We talked a little bit about a little bit about avoiding plastics. You want to do that for sure? Yes. Eat organic.
Eat natural foods as much as possible. Get the proper sleep. Stress management is a big one, and I’m not sure how it is in New Zealand, but we have a of depression anxiety here in the United States, and I think a lot of it has to do with the financial situation. A lot of this 20 year olds just see no, no hope in the future of owning a house or.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah.
Dr. Joe Jacko
I think moving up the ladder pretty.
Andrew Mitchem
You know, we’ve got five kids and I think that’s pretty tough. You know. And I suppose every generation thinks that housing’s a hard thing to get into. But it does seem particularly hard. Earn their or your money just doesn’t buy you much. You know, people were living. I’ve just come back from two weeks in Australia and beautiful, you know, environment.
But most people on the east coast, Australia are living in big high rises and little boxes and I’d be so depressed saving in that. But, you know, it just seems that what people can afford now is just giving them a little box so that like we said earlier, they go to work, they earn the money, they dress up smartly, and they spend all their money on that.
And then they have to go to lunch because everybody else goes to lunch and you come back and you’ve got nothing for it. And that whole we’ll just keeps rotating.
Dr. Joe Jacko
I think part of you got to have your, your priorities. So what’s important to you and then allocate your funding, you know, to help get reach those goals.
Priorities and how you spend your money and time.
Andrew Mitchem
And there’s an interesting point that I was mentioned. And it’s so obvious when you think about it. And when people go, I don’t have time. And that’s always excuse. And people go, oh, I start your course sometime, but I’m too busy right now. And it’s like, well, all of us. Doesn’t matter where we live in the world, how old we are, what race we are, how rich or poor we are, how else are we are?
We all have 24 hours in a day. It’s how you use it, right?
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. Warren Buffett has 24 hours, just like you and I.
Andrew Mitchem
That’s exactly right. We’ve all got the same time and we’ve all got less of it left. So it’s really important that people, you know, hope.
Dr. Joe Jacko
I think we’re making excuses for our shortcomings. Yeah, they have a hard time looking in the mirror and taking responsibility for our shortcomings.
Andrew Mitchem
Yes, it’s all about getting those priorities right and and and setting those goals and and starting today.
Dr. Joe Jacko
Yeah. So just start you know, we just wanted start with one discipline and then, you know, just add 5 or 6 disciplines that you do every day, whether it be in your health or your financial situation or your relationships, just do half dozen things every day consistently. And I think you’ll see improvement in your life in, in many different areas.
Andrew Mitchem
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you very much for your chat today. I really enjoyed it, and I hope that it’s made a lot of, you know, maybe triggered a few ideas for people with health and finances both important of course.
