=== Laugh By Faith (05:37) ===

[00:00:00]  Dr. Don Colbert is a board-certified family practice doctor more than 25 years.
[00:00:07]  35, isn't it?
[00:00:08]  Well, I've been a doctor over 35 years, but I'm no longer boarded in family practice because I'm not doing that.
[00:00:15]  I'm doing nutritional medicine and more preventive medicine.
[00:00:19]  And so, again, we have put the key things together for health.
[00:00:23]  And you know what?
[00:00:24]  It doesn't generally involve a medication, just biodiversity hormones.
[00:00:28]  We're trying to get those hormones, those natural hormone levels up optimized.
[00:00:32]  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.
[00:00:44]  I prescribe most to every patient 10 belly laughs a day.
[00:00:48]  That's right.
[00:00:49]  Because a Merry Heart does better than any medicine without any side effects, no diarrhea, no rashes.
[00:00:56]  Actually, we talked about none of that.
[00:00:57]  You know, this past year, two years, the whole world's gone through a really heaviness, and we've all gone through it.
[00:01:04]  Everybody has been affected.
[00:01:05]  Nobody is exempt from this.
[00:01:08]  And one night, Don was going through YouTube, and he found this YouTube comedian.
[00:01:12]  And you get a little bit concerned because sometimes you think how dirty and filthy they're going to get.
[00:01:17]  But this guy was.
[00:01:18]  Oh, he's a Catholic.
[00:01:19]  Yeah.
[00:01:19]  He's Catholic.
[00:01:21]  And he started watching.
[00:01:22]  And I heard Don in the other room just laughing and laughing and laughing.
[00:01:27]  And I thought, what is he doing?
[00:01:30]  And I go in there and he, I mean, belly laughs, just rolling.
[00:01:35]  This guy is hilarious.
[00:01:37]  So I sat there, and next thing you know, that night, I was laughing in bed so hard I was crying.
[00:01:44]  That was so funny.
[00:01:45]  I told Don, I said, Don, we do this every night.
[00:01:48]  We haven't been laughing.
[00:01:50]  And again, you can laugh.
[00:01:51]  You can watch Handed Camera.
[00:01:53]  You can watch America's Funniest Videos.
[00:01:55]  You can watch Laughing.
[00:01:56]  You can watch Old Gilligan's Island.
[00:01:58]  You can watch, oh, Carol Burnett.
[00:02:00]  I was watching Carol Burnett.
[00:02:01]  Oh, yeah.
[00:02:02]  And these are so funny.
[00:02:04]  It gets you laughing.
[00:02:05]  And then there's some pretty, really good, funny comedian.
[00:02:08]  You got Jim Panetti.
[00:02:09]  John Panetti.
[00:02:10]  Amazing.
[00:02:12]  Jim Gaffergan, amazing.
[00:02:13]  Ron Regan, amazing.
[00:02:15]  But he's gone.
[00:02:16]  I mean, he's dead, but his tubes are on YouTube.
[00:02:19]  He's still there.
[00:02:20]  But one of the things I love about him, he'll go, nay, nay.
[00:02:25]  Nay.
[00:02:25]  He was in the Broadway play Hairspray.
[00:02:28]  Right.
[00:02:28]  And he played.
[00:02:29]  He's a man, but he played the female lead.
[00:02:31]  Right.
[00:02:32]  So they had to shave his eyebrows.
[00:02:33]  He put a wig on him.
[00:02:34]  And he's hilarious.
[00:02:36]  You can tell he's a braver.
[00:02:37]  Yeah.
[00:02:38]  Good, good man.
[00:02:39]  That's Paul's language.
[00:02:41]  Nay, nay.
[00:02:42]  That's true.
[00:02:43]  What Paul would say, Apostle Paul, that is.
[00:02:46]  That's true.
[00:02:48]  And that's a little tip for you.
[00:02:49]  They just gave you a tip on how to get some laughter.
[00:02:52]  Get some laughter.
[00:02:53]  Amen.
[00:02:53]  Cry your pop.
[00:02:54]  Because this is a really tough time because most people have lost their joy.
[00:02:58]  When you lose your joy, you lose your strength, you lose your energy, you lose your health, you lose your peace.
[00:03:05]  And I'm telling you, you can't sleep at night.
[00:03:07]  You've got to start laughing.
[00:03:09]  We've got to start being around joyful people.
[00:03:12]  You say, I don't have anything to laugh about.
[00:03:13]  That's true.
[00:03:14]  Well, again, laugh by faith and watch some of these funny shows.
[00:03:17]  We watch funny movies when our kids, our grandkids, come over.
[00:03:21]  What we do is we let them pick out clean, funny movies and we laugh and we laugh and we laugh.
[00:03:25]  And some of them will watch over and over and over again.
[00:03:27]  Adam Sandler's one of them and the kids just love crazy Adam Sandler.
[00:03:32]  And so again, we just watch funny movies, watch cartoons, funny cartoon movies and things like that.
[00:03:37]  So again, that's critical.
[00:03:38]  We've got to start laughing again.
[00:03:40]  When we laugh, the endorphins and kefflins, these feel-good chemicals, right?
[00:03:46]  Your dopamine rises.
[00:03:48]  You just feel great.
[00:03:49]  You prescribed to us a couple comedians that we had never heard before.
[00:03:54]  And so we were in one of your apartments.
[00:03:57]  So we were able to find them.
[00:04:01]  He was there, that guy you were talking about.
[00:04:03]  Jim Gaffer.
[00:04:04]  You had him right on there.
[00:04:05]  So we'd watch him.
[00:04:07]  You didn't know if you were where you were, but we were laughing.
[00:04:10]  Oh, but when you laugh, you're charging your immune system.
[00:04:14]  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.
[00:04:23]  Isn't that true?
[00:04:24]  You are lowering your stress levels when you belly laugh.
[00:04:27]  I'm not talking about a ha ha.
[00:04:29]  No, I'm talking about a belly laugh.
[00:04:31]  You're laughing.
[00:04:32]  We were crying.
[00:04:33]  We were sitting in your condo, the two of us alone.
[00:04:36]  I go, we're turning on what Dr. Colbert and Mary prescribed for us.
[00:04:41]  Because I even told Don I had to confess.
[00:04:43]  I even told him the night before, Mary, you were, you know, in the other state in Mississippi for a few days.
[00:04:50]  And so we were out to eat with Don.
[00:04:52]  I said, I just need, sometimes women, Don, sometimes we just need a good cry.
[00:04:56]  I can't explain it.
[00:04:57]  Sometimes you just need a good cry.
[00:05:00]  It's either.
[00:05:00]  And so I watched a movie about an animal, about a dog that I haven't watched in many, many, many years.
[00:05:08]  No, but and I had a good cry.
[00:05:12]  Jim was sleeping.
[00:05:13]  And so I sat in that living room of yours and just had a good cry.
[00:05:16]  He goes, well, now you need a good laugh.
[00:05:18]  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.
[00:05:25]  We laughed, or we were crying because we were laughing so hard.
[00:05:29]  And I remember you saying, Mary, your smile, you were smiling from laughing so hard that it was hurting.
[00:05:35]  Your face hurt from laughing that hard.
