    Every single time I hear someone casually referred to as a "genius," I hear Norm Macdonald's snarky response "What, is he really good at math or something?" 😆

    Nick Kroll get tested for alphagal and get a specific acupuncture treatment in the ear. But also other treatments available for it. Best one I've found for patients thus far!!! This condition can trigger a lot of strange food allergies/food intolerances with various issues with your skin bowels and true itchy hives swelling reactions as well also!

  • @DogsCatsSnacks
    @DogsCatsSnacks ปีที่แล้ว +4

    For a LEGIT food or sugar addiction, keeping sugar or certain foods out of the house is like telling a smoker to not have cigs in the house. A force will still drive you to go out and get it despite the size of the barrier. It's no joke.

    Good convo. His therapist has a point re: not blaming himself for every little flare-up. But the idea that it's "just allergies" also doesn't cover it. Allergies are part of the bodily response to our underlying circumstances, including ancestral adaption and trauma. Our proclivities and defaults are inherited from our ancestors and environments, and we make choices within the results of these circumstances. That's why healing and self-awareness is so important. Yes it helps the self, but it also slowly turns the bigger ship. Happy for you, Nick! (Also the "point" of meditation is not "don't think," fwiw. Lots of misconceptions about meditation, especially since it's often taught as a tool for self improvement rather than for liberation. Studying under a teacher can be super helpful.)

    The highlights for each show are the commercials Neal records -- like a hostage being forced against his will.
    Only thing missing is the script in his hands, as if saying "This is not my idea. I've been kidnapped."

    OMG! So amazing to hear someone I admire felt the same thing I felt about our baby screaming -I immediately felt guilty for my reaction… I wish I’d known others felt the same thing. Never had the anger turn into actions, thank goodness, but it was confusing to feel angry with such a little being who I loved so completely.
