This episode is sponsored by ZocDoc. I know because you're human and I'm human that there is a doctor's appointment that you should be scheduling right now, but you haven't done it yet. Why? Because life. I know I have an appointment that I certainly need to make and I've put it off for far too long. ZocDoc has helped me with that and it's going to help you. What ZocDoc does is it is an online database of all these doctors that are in network and local to you that it can show not only are they in close by, are they in network, regardless of what kind of specialty they're in. Also sets appointments right then and there. You can see what booking slots they have available so you're not having to go back and forth with the dermatologist front office and hopefully they're ringing five times, you don't get anybody, they're supposed to call you back in this phone tag and it's terrible. And then next thing you know it's six months later. I'm speaking from experience here, y'all. When you go to ZocDoc, it makes it all easy, one all-in-one platform that I can know I'm going to get a doctor that's great. And also, they do telehealth. So you can have people talk to you right from your phone if you need to.

This episode is sponsored by Element. If there's one thing that we could all improve upon, believe me, it is hydration. Have you drank enough water today? Let me tell you what has helped me do that. It's been a game changer for my family, and one of my kids' favorite things is Element. It comes in both a seltzer form, kind of a soda water, and also a little packet form. My kids love the seltzer water. They call it salty drink or salty water is what they call it, and they usually ask for it for dessert. That's their thing because we don't really do sodas, but they do love salty water. I like the packets. I tear it off. I do like half a packet. I put it in a bottle of water. I shake it up and I'm on the go. It's when I want to drink something that's not all the way water, but I know that I'm filling myself full of good stuff. It's not sugar. It's all electrolytes that keep me balanced and making sure that I am staying hydrated. Because if you're not hydrated, a lot of things can go astray, including how you show up in everyday conversations.

Before we keep going, I want to take a moment to tell you about AG1. I don't know about you, but summers can be just kind of weird. Some nights, everybody is in bed early. Others, we say, forget it, and we're staying up late. We're traveling a lot. Or you got crazy jet lag like me. Nutrition is where things start to fall apart. I have been taking AG1 now for several months, brought it with me when we were over in Australia. Why? Because it fills in all the nutritional gaps for me. It helps with my stomach, your gut biome. It helps my brain, gives me energy. It says, hey, I'm doing good things because I'm putting good things in me. And that feels really good. And one thing I really appreciate about AG1 is that all their stuff is clinically researched. Check this out. AG1 NextGen is backed by multiple gold standard clinical trials and is clinically shown to fill common nutrient gaps, improve key nutrient levels within three months, enrich the gut biome and key nutrients in AG1 were shown to be quickly and easily absorbed into the body. For me, it's really just one less thing to worry about. The taste, I'm not going to say it tastes like candy, but I will say it tastes good enough. If I am taking it, it tastes good.

That's an $82 value. So that's drinkag1.com slash Jefferson.

Before we keep going, I want to take a moment to tell you about Monarch Money. We are now in the summer months, and that means you need to be spending time, not worried all about the budget and finances and where everything's going and all the flow of everything. You need to be focused on family, summer, getting sunshine, and Monarch is here to make that happen. What I like about Monarch is that you can see everything in one dashboard right on your laptop or your phone. And so it takes all of your accounts and is able to help with budgeting, help know where everything is coming in and how everything is coming out. And you can see it all at one glance, which is really nice. And what it's like is almost having, honestly, it's like having a financial advisor right there in your pocket. Because with AI, now they have an AI agent that is able to answer questions specifically about your finances and where you might cut stuff and how you can create a budget. And these are just tools that we didn't learn in school. And so Monarch is a great way of giving you financial peace, which is something I think we can all need a little bit more.
