Sheriff Cal Hayden brings us inside the Johnson County Sheriffs Office and we learn about some amazing facts: They received 22,257 calls in May with 95% or answered in 10 seconds or less. Contrast that with other municipalities where 911 callers get put on hold and have to wait minutes, and their response times are under five minutes, yet Cal reminds us "when you think about that five minute period of time, I've been there when you're doing CPR on somebody or you need help right now, that's an eternity, before the officers get there... and, it's a brilliant analogy or exercise to, for anybody to just close their eyes and think about the worst day you've ever had: 'you're involved in a car wreck. a loved one is fallen, someone's passed away. A child is hurt, and you want help right now? Those seconds count. And, we want to get somebody there as soon as we possibly can. We take almost every ambulance call that comes in and we transfer it to them, and we want to make sure that we're there as fast as we possibly can be". This is a great episode and you can get a feel for how the Sheriffs Department works.

It comes down to lifestyle. Our food has changed. Our movement has changed. Our stress levels have changed. Our sleep has changed. All of the things that keep us healthy have shifted, and our bodies aren't responding to them well. When we shifted from growing food and making it ourselves to processing it to make it convenient to eat on the go and do all the other things we want to do in life. We changed our food system. We added things, we took away things. We changed what we were eating, how we got it, and it really it just dramatically changed what was going into our bodies. In S20 Ep16 we hear this and more for Dr. Courtney Younglove and Alexandria Lee, DPN, FNP-BC from Heartland Weight Loss.
