• 1:11
  Speaker 1: doing Tanya.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, mister McDonald, I'm doing well. How are you okay?
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Tell us the name of your business.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: So the name of my business is called Astra Wellness Astro.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Spelled astr and the meaning behind that.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Astra means star in French. And so if
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: you think about it, many years ago, like during the
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: during slavery, they didn't have GPS systems, they didn't have
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a theory. There is no ways that they could navigate with,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: so they had to use the stars. And so stars
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: guide people many years ago, including explorers, and so that
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: is my endeavor is to guide people to health and wellness.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Now, when you say you have twenty five years of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: experience in the healthcare business, twelve years as a certified
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: registered nurse and the sesologists, that alone, I know, is
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: a well paid job. That's a way of paid job.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: You can get a job as an aatgesiologist nurse. How
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: why are you an entrepreneur?
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: Well, I saw a need. As you mentioned before, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: was practicing full time anesthesia at a level one trauma
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: center here in Macon, Georgia. But my father got sick.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: My father fought in the Vietnam War and was suffering
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: from PTSD and chronic pain, and so he was going
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: different places and he was just getting worse, to the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: point where he was suicidal. And I went to see
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: him one day. I said, you know what, Dad, you're
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: just getting worse. I have to pull back from anesthesia
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and I'm going to figure out how it is that
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: I can help you. And so I started doing a
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: ton of research, and in my research endeavors, I found
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: that dehydration and poor nutrition will contribute to things like
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: pead which he suffered severely from, and chronic pain, which
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: he suffered severely from. This was during the height of
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: COVID and there was not a place he could go
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to get proper nutrition. The only place he could go
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: to get IB foods was that the emergency room, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: I didn't want him there with a bunch of COVID people.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: The closest place was in Atlanta, and he wasn't going
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to go there. And so I said, you know what, Dad,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: if you need IB fluids nutrition, other people in the
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: community needed as well. And so I'm just going to
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: satisfy the need in the community and open a place
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: of my own. And so that's how Astra Wellness was born.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Wow, now, can you give us more detail exactly what
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: is PTSD. I know it stands for post dramatic stress disorder.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: What exactly is that? And is it something that can
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: be calmed down other than and I think that was
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: your bottom line, trying to achieve that with your dad.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, that's right. So yeah, So, as I mentioned before,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: he fought in the v Vietnam War. He was having
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: severe flashbacks. The older my dad got, I would go
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: visit him. He would sit in his room in a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: dart room, very anti social. His diet consisted of Coca
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: colas and cigarettes. He was taking a lot of pay
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: medicine at the time, and he was just getting worse
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: and worse and worse. And so all of those flashbacks
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: from the war were just causing him tremendous problems. Were
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: to the point where he couldn't function anymore. And so
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: that's what I in my studies, I found that simple
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: things you can do, like vitamin D three will help
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: prevent depression and help treat depression. Something as simple as
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: vitamin B six will help also to treat depression. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: one thing about taking things by mouth, if you have
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: a healthy gut, a healthy GI tract you're still only
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: going to absorb thirty to forty percent of what you're taking.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: But if you have those things infused via ivy or
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: intraveniously through your veins, then you're going to absorb one
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: hundred percent of what your body is deficient in. And
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that is why so many people feel better almost immediately
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: when they get infusions via ivy.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Wow, Now your clinic is located in Making, Georgia. You know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: I'm a big city guy. I always feel that. You know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: when you're in a big city, Miss Millions, you will
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: have more options for customers, more options for clients. And
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: so did that run through your mind or you felt, hey,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: this is a need in this community. Let me feel
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: the need that you feel isn't available, because, like you said,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: for your dad, you had to go to Atlanta for treatment.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Tell us where you started and then where are you
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: headed with your business as far as the success that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: you've been having in the making area with astra wellness.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Okay, sure, so yes, I've always been affirmed belief in
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: that movie, if you build it, they will come. So
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: that is the thing that happened here. Like I said,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: there was a big need for it, and I believe
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that if you can satisfy a need, give the people
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: what they want, then they will come and support you.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: So when I started off, I only had My current
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: location is six hundred and fifty square feet. I have
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: been so well received in the area where I and
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: within three years of opening my business, I was able
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: to purchase my own commercial building. And so next month
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: we will be expanding into a three thousand square feet building.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Come on that, Come on that, see you. That's what
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you know if you boxing somebody as a knockout, that
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: was a knockout to my course. Okay, mister McDonald, I
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: won't tell you something that I started at six hundred
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and fifty square feet. I went out on faith. I
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: went out to save my dad. Three years, I'm going
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: into a three thousand square fol which is three two
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Come on now, five times nearly five times the space
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you have. Now, now let's talk about that business plan
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: when you start making these decisions. Now, is this self
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: funded or you have to go to a bank to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: make this decision to grow like this?
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: No, it is definitely not so fun, dude. I did
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: have to go to a bank. And a business plan
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: is so vitally important and I had no idea to
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: let me be very transparent for a moment. I originally
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: when I knew I wanted to expand, I felt like,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: oh my god, my credit score is really good. That's
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: all I need. I was sadly mistaken. You need so
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: much more. Yes, things like a business plan, knowing your
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: debt to credit ratio, having an adequate down payment because
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: you know you're gonna have to put some money down
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and show people that you're serious about this investment, right
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and you want them to put their trust in you,
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: so you have to have some skin in the game,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: and so all those things. When I first went, I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: was so embarrassed. I didn't know what I was doing.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Like I said, my credit explorer is really good, and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I felt like that was all I needed. But something else.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: As business owners, I feel like we make mistakes and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: is trying to write everything off that will decrease your taxes. Yes,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: but you need to show that your business is thriving,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and so you're going to need to show income as
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a result of that. And so that was a lesson
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: that I had to learn when I got my first
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: note from the bank. Go back, this is what you
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: need to work on and come back later. That's when
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: I was able to have all my ducks in a row,
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: present the business plan, have a good debt to credit ratio,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: have my down payment, all those things, and that was
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: when I was able to get the loan. It took
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: me about a year to work on that.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Please don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Money Making Conversations Masterclass. Welcome back to the Money Making
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Conversations Masterclass hosted by Rashan McDonald.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm working with a lot of young entrepreneurs about this,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to set them up with bank mentors.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Because don't be embarrassed if you're not ready now, because
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that's what you're saying. Rashana went in. I thought I
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: had I had great credit, you know, I've been in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: business for a while. And then I walked in and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I got smacked upside the head saying your business plan
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is inadequate, is ill conceived, but we're going to work
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: with you. I think that really needs to be expounded
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: more because that's where a lot of people could get
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: pushed out the door saying, you know, they don't want
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: to do business with me, They don't want to do
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: they just making it difficult for me to do business. Yes,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: they are. I'm just so that's how it works. But
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean you should stop pursuing your dreams. Talk
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: about that process a little bit more in detail there, Tanya.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, sure, Yeah, that doesn't mean just because they tell
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you no. I mean that's not going to last for
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: racious and not right now. So my best advice what
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I did was I established a relationship with a banker.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So what do I mean by a relationship? Will you
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: go in, you open up an account, You befriend whoever
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the person is that helped you open your account up,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: and then you start putting your money in there, and
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: that is how you start establishing a really good foundation
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: at a bank. Go back and ask them what do
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I need to do to get to where I need
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: to be, and they'll be more than happy to help
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: you to do that. And that's exactly what I did.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Establish a relationship. I needed to show my financial projections
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: where I wanted to see my business in the next
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: three to five years. I had to do like a
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: financial analysis or I'm sorry, a financial historical analysis, and
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: they were so gracious they helped me to do that.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I didn't know anything about it. But because I was
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: starting to establish that relationship with a banker, they helped
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: me to navigate this whole thing to get to everything
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: that I needed. And that's how I was able to get.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Secure the well I'm telling you you got the right
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: voice full Wellness Center. You know, it's not screachy, it's
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: very calming. You know, it's very soothing. Like that you
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: walk into her studio, she has that soothing music, water
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: running in the back world. It's almost like you walk
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: in and fall asleep immediately. That is the purpose is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: to really bring the stress level down when they come
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: into astro wellness, correct, Tanya, that is.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, absolutely when people and I tell my people
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: all the time, when you come across the threshold, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: want you to leave all your tears and concerns outside
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: the door. I want you to be able to feel
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the relaxation, the energy in here so that you can
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: be stress. Come in, just have a seat, close your eyes,
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: relax a little bit. Because in the world today, everyone
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: is rushing, rushing, rushing, right, and so we need to
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: have a safe place that we can go to and relax,
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: calm down a little bit, because believe it or not
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: stress will also affect your mental health, your well being
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: as well in your physical health.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Now Astra Wellerness has been voted best wellness clinic three
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: years and low. That's in the city of Making correct.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That is correct, yes and uh.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: And so now six hundred and fifty square feet just
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: is not enough for Astra Wellness. She is moving into
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: over three thousand square feets when we could put the
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: square three thousand square feet her building. She's purchased it,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: sat down with a creative relationship with a banker and
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: they approved her loan. She put down a down payment
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: that's always had the great credit score, but she realized
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: that was not enough. Now when we get back, we're
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: gonna find out exactly what they do at Astra Wellness
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: when you're walking in the well all are they poking
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: on you? Are they taking your blood pressure? What are
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: they doing? The details which makes Astra Wellderness so successful.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll be talking to the owner,
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Tanya Millions Finch. Don't go no well, I'm here to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: help you reach your American dream. I'm interviewing the owner
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and founder of Astral Wildness. It's based in Atlanta and
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Making Georgia excuse me, making Georgia and twelve years as
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist. That's what she was doing,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: making good money now, but she has a dream, had
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: a vision, and now her six hundred and fifty square
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: feet location that she's currently in is not enough. She
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: has expanded and has purchased a building over three thousand
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: square feet and now she's moving in well, as we
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: moved to this next direction. What are you so proud
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: of most about your company?
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Tell ya, The thing that I'm most proud of is
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: the response that I have received from the community. I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: had the backing of a lot of my colleagues from
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the hospital, a lot of my physician colleagues, to the
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: point where they will start referring their patients here because
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: there's a big difference. So one of the reasons, let
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: me just back up a moment that I am expanding,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: is because now I send my clients out to different
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: places for the services that they need, and so in
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: my head, I wanted to create a place where they
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: can just come and get everything they need, like a
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: one stop shop kind of place. And so that's why
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: I need it somewhere larger. Currently I'm doing ivhydration. I
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: have a medical weight loss program. I also have an
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: esthetition that does facial black services. She does chemical pills,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: body contouring, those types of things. At my new location,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: I'm going to be focusing in on overall health and wellness,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: anything that's anti aging, anti inflammatory, teaching people proper lifestyle changes,
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: because it's my belief we don't have to just exists
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: that we can thrive in life. We don't just have
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to feel good, but we want to feel our optimum.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: And so so many people come in with different problems
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: that are not being prot really addressed, and so as
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: a result of that, I'll start offering what's called functional medicine.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Functional medicine is very different from conventional medicine. Conventional medicine
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: is you go to your doctor, you get lab work,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: everything is fine, and they won't treat you until things
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: go awright. But with functional medicine, my job is to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: prevent things from going awright, so we treat you on
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: a cellular level. The goal is to find out the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: root cause of what is going on with you, address
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: the root cause, fix that, and not just put a
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: band aid on the symptoms. Does that make sense absolutely? Now?
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: I'm going to move something that you talked about anti agent. Okay,
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: bore over here at that anti agent stage. I'm trying
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: to fight off the time. I'm trying to I'm trying
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to get a wrinkled look straight. I'm trying to move
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: a bag and make it bagless. I'm trying to do
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: anything in my face to give me an up.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: So somebody you look do for your age, you shout,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: that's a couple of moments I want in my life
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: right now. Okay, how does the anti aging process work
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: at your that you provide we're at astra wellness.
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: Okay, so yeah, one of the things that my goal
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: is to treat you from the inside out. I believe
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: that if you treat the inside, the outside will show.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: And so the main thing is to de curious inflammation.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: What that means is whether it's with your diet, mighty fluids,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: proper vitamins, proper nutrition, all of those things, if they
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: are not where they should be, they're going to cause inflammation.
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: And inflammation is what contributes to wrinkles, hyper pigmentation bags
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: underneath your eyes. If your lymphatic system is not flowing,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: it's going to be backed up and that's what's going
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: to cause the swelling or those bags. So that's one thing.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: Another thing is I have a skin care line, a
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: medical grade skin care line too, and so all of
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: that is anti aging. I will also have at my
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: new location a hyperari ozone chamber. Ozone therapy is very
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: anti agent, and infrared saana you'll detox, you detox all
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the toxins from your body. Then all of those things
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: will be anti agent. A massage therapist, and then we'll
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: also do things like botox to prevent wrinkles or help
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: treat wrinkles. And fillers because the older you get, the
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: more fat loss you will have in your face. And
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: so with a filler you can build that up, rebuild
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: a matrix of your space back up to give you
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: that youthful book.
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Oh you know what you're saying now, and got me
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: ready to register and call in some reservations and things
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: like that make it. But you know when you thank
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: you for that detail, because I think it's important to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: people understand. You know, your move was just not to
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: get a bigger space. It will supervide more opportunities to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: create cash flow within your business model, which is the
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: key and I think that was one of the things
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: you pitched to the bank as well.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yes, that is correct. Yes, I was very clear
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: on the people that I wanted to service in the area.
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: Because when you go to the bank, you have to
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: know what you who your target audience is, who you are,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: your avatar, whatever you want to call them. You have
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: to know who those people are going to be because
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: they're going to want to know. Okay, so you have
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: this great idea, but how are you going to fund it?
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Where you have to have the income coming in, so
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: you have to be crystal clear on who your target
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: audience is.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Wow, what is your biggest accomps from complishment so far?
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: You will feel, you know, because I know that you
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: told an incredible story about your father really motivated you
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: to moving this direction and walk away from a full
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: time successful job. But what do you feel is your
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: biggest acc accomplishment so far?
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you. So let me back up
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: with my dad just a moment. So I found my
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: location in October of twenty twenty. December fifth, teen of
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty, I had just put my patient to sleep
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: under anesthesia and my phone rang and it was a
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: family member and my family. They know when I'm at
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: the hospital, you know, don't call her, she's busy. And
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: so it was my dad's sister and she said, Tanya,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: has anybody called you? And I was like, oh my god,
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: if my dad isn't it. She said yes, My father
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: dropped dead that morning, about thirty minutes prior to the
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: phone call from a rupture a order aneurism. That put
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: me into such a deep depression. Okay, I stopped doing everything.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I could only go home, go to sleep, go to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: the hospital. Go home, go to sleep, go to the hospital.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: But I had to remember my wife and I said, Tanya,
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: what are you doing? You promised your dad you would
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: help him and other people. So I had to just
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: snap myself out of that depression. Right. So other was
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: the catalyst to get my business started. But it's the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: people in my community who are helping me to keep
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: that going. And so that is my biggest accomplishment, the
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: fact that I can offer people in my community a
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: service that is bodily needed. And people know when you're genuine.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: They know when you're genuine, and so that is what
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: keeps them coming back. And I will have to say,
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: just myself being able to rise above that depression, remember
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: my why, and to be a successful business owner to
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: the point where I can purchase a commercial space. That's
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: my biggest accomplishment in my business.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: Congratulations. I'm gonna turn this little bit on Raushan here.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: You know, because I've I've had a lot of high
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: profile celebrity guys in my life and over the years, friends, strangers,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: and they have always went to these wellness centers like
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: you've created, and I never saw a need for that.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, they would get the vitamins, like you said,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: injected directly into them. You kind of talked about the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: value of that as we close out the show, talk
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: about the value again of what Astra wellness brings and
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: why the importance of receiving certain types of vitamins that
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: way versus like I traditionally do two pills a day
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: or pill a day when I wake up in the morning.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Sure. Yeah, So normally we are supposed to get vitamins, minerals,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: nutrition from our food right right, as we all know
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: the food industry, the food is contaminated, everything is genetically modified,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: the soil is depleted of nutrients, and so now as
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: a result, we're not getting what we need from food.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: Couple that with poor eating habits, high sugar diet, high
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: processed foods, not drinking enough water. So all of that
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: stuff destroys our gut, all right, and so the majority
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: of people don't have a healthy gut. So as a result,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: when you take a pill by mouth or you think
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: you're eating a healthy diet, if your gut biome is off,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: the gut environment is off, you're not going to absorb
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: what you need. So that's why so many people can
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: take pills or you know, vitamins and still not feel
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: the effects of that. When you start an IV, you
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: bypass the whole digestive tract. Those nutrients are going to
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: go directly into your veins, where your body is going
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: to absorb one hundred percent of what you need. And
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that's why people feel so much better so quickly. Like here,
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I have a whole COVID protocol. I treat people who
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: are overweight. I treat people who are depressed, who are
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: stressed out, who suffer from insomnia. I have people who
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: have hair, skin and nail issues that I treat. I
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: have college students who come in and they just need
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: an infusion to help them think better for their exam
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: or I have a lot of people that I'm treating
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: with dementia, and so I do all of that by
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: bypassing the digestive tract, giving them exactly what they need
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: through my customized infusions, and in that way they're going
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: to absorb it and feel defects of it. Ninety six
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: percent of my clients feel better almost immediately.
• 23:14
