Laugh By Faith 00:05:37
Dr. Don Colbert is a board-certified family practice doctor more than 25 years.
35, isn't it?
Well, I've been a doctor over 35 years, but I'm no longer boarded in family practice because I'm not doing that.
I'm doing nutritional medicine and more preventive medicine.
And so, again, we have put the key things together for health.
And you know what?
It doesn't generally involve a medication, just biodiversity hormones.
We're trying to get those hormones, those natural hormone levels up optimized.
And it's amazing when you turn on a few key hormones, how the body can heal with the right diet, with the right exercise, with the right amount of sleep, with stress reduction, with belly laughter.
I prescribe most to every patient 10 belly laughs a day.
That's right.
Because a Merry Heart does better than any medicine without any side effects, no diarrhea, no rashes.
Actually, we talked about none of that.
You know, this past year, two years, the whole world's gone through a really heaviness, and we've all gone through it.
Everybody has been affected.
Nobody is exempt from this.
And one night, Don was going through YouTube, and he found this YouTube comedian.
And you get a little bit concerned because sometimes you think how dirty and filthy they're going to get.
But this guy was.
Oh, he's a Catholic.
Yeah.
He's Catholic.
And he started watching.
And I heard Don in the other room just laughing and laughing and laughing.
And I thought, what is he doing?
And I go in there and he, I mean, belly laughs, just rolling.
This guy is hilarious.
So I sat there, and next thing you know, that night, I was laughing in bed so hard I was crying.
That was so funny.
I told Don, I said, Don, we do this every night.
We haven't been laughing.
And again, you can laugh.
You can watch Handed Camera.
You can watch America's Funniest Videos.
You can watch Laughing.
You can watch Old Gilligan's Island.
You can watch, oh, Carol Burnett.
I was watching Carol Burnett.
Oh, yeah.
And these are so funny.
It gets you laughing.
And then there's some pretty, really good, funny comedian.
You got Jim Panetti.
John Panetti.
Amazing.
Jim Gaffergan, amazing.
Ron Regan, amazing.
But he's gone.
I mean, he's dead, but his tubes are on YouTube.
He's still there.
But one of the things I love about him, he'll go, nay, nay.
Nay.
He was in the Broadway play Hairspray.
Right.
And he played.
He's a man, but he played the female lead.
Right.
So they had to shave his eyebrows.
He put a wig on him.
And he's hilarious.
You can tell he's a braver.
Yeah.
Good, good man.
That's Paul's language.
Nay, nay.
That's true.
What Paul would say, Apostle Paul, that is.
That's true.
And that's a little tip for you.
They just gave you a tip on how to get some laughter.
Get some laughter.
Amen.
Cry your pop.
Because this is a really tough time because most people have lost their joy.
When you lose your joy, you lose your strength, you lose your energy, you lose your health, you lose your peace.
And I'm telling you, you can't sleep at night.
You've got to start laughing.
We've got to start being around joyful people.
You say, I don't have anything to laugh about.
That's true.
Well, again, laugh by faith and watch some of these funny shows.
We watch funny movies when our kids, our grandkids, come over.
What we do is we let them pick out clean, funny movies and we laugh and we laugh and we laugh.
And some of them will watch over and over and over again.
Adam Sandler's one of them and the kids just love crazy Adam Sandler.
And so again, we just watch funny movies, watch cartoons, funny cartoon movies and things like that.
So again, that's critical.
We've got to start laughing again.
When we laugh, the endorphins and kefflins, these feel-good chemicals, right?
Your dopamine rises.
You just feel great.
You prescribed to us a couple comedians that we had never heard before.
And so we were in one of your apartments.
So we were able to find them.
He was there, that guy you were talking about.
Jim Gaffer.
You had him right on there.
So we'd watch him.
You didn't know if you were where you were, but we were laughing.
Oh, but when you laugh, you're charging your immune system.
It's like internal jogging, where your belly gets so much exercise, you get more oxygen, but you are literally charging your natural killer cells.
Isn't that true?
You are lowering your stress levels when you belly laugh.
I'm not talking about a ha ha.
No, I'm talking about a belly laugh.
You're laughing.
We were crying.
We were sitting in your condo, the two of us alone.
I go, we're turning on what Dr. Colbert and Mary prescribed for us.
Because I even told Don I had to confess.
I even told him the night before, Mary, you were, you know, in the other state in Mississippi for a few days.
And so we were out to eat with Don.
I said, I just need, sometimes women, Don, sometimes we just need a good cry.
I can't explain it.
Sometimes you just need a good cry.
It's either.
And so I watched a movie about an animal, about a dog that I haven't watched in many, many, many years.
No, but and I had a good cry.
Jim was sleeping.
And so I sat in that living room of yours and just had a good cry.
He goes, well, now you need a good laugh.
So then we went home and the next morning and we turned on some of these funny comedians and we did the same as you.
We laughed, or we were crying because we were laughing so hard.
And I remember you saying, Mary, your smile, you were smiling from laughing so hard that it was hurting.
Your face hurt from laughing that hard.
