What experiences led Stacey Kay to a wake-up call about her health?
You dealt with addiction in your 20s?
I did.
Alcohol? Drugs. Drugs, wow.
I was having heart palpitations. My arm went numb. I basically thought I was having a heart attack. That was a big wake-up call that I needed to slow down. I wasn't happy doing what I was doing.
How did addiction and anxiety impact Stacey's early career?
The stress was getting too much. I was having these outbursts and I just wasn't mentally fit or healthy. I had a moment where I just had a meltdown in front of my daughter and my husband. And that's when I realized I had to do something for me.
Yeah.
Yeah. The only person I could blame was myself.
Let's talk about what's in my arm.
You are hooked up to what's called a lactated ringer bag, an isotonic bag of fluids. It's exactly what's in your body.
What role did meditation play in Stacey's healing journey?
I have more conversations with people about their stress level when their IV is dripping than nutrition. It saved my life, Sean. I feel younger and better right now than I did in my 30s.
What's up, guys? We're back here with Stacey Kay, the founder and owner of Hydrate, a concierge mobile IV and hydration company. As you guys can see, I'm hooked up on a lot of stuff right now, and we're going to go through and she's going to talk about what she has me on. There's some specific reasons why I asked for a certain ingredient in this. But before we get to that, Stacey, welcome to the show, girl.
Thank you.
It's
How does Stacey define true accountability and self-compassion?
been so long since I've seen you.
I know it's, I'm very happy to be here. Thank you.
I'm very happy to have you here. And, uh, you know, we've been talking about this for quite some time. I think I saw you at a year, about a year ago. I think it was at G's graduation party.
Yeah. Yeah.
Right around this, uh, right. I wasn't even a year ago.
Right.
No, it wasn't. Gosh, time flies.
Time flies.
Sometimes I think it's been a year, but it's only been a year.
And before that, it was Halloween. Oh, my God. With your kids.
Yes.
What challenges did Stacey face while transitioning to a new career?
That was a long time ago.
Right. Before all of this, Sean.
I know. Before all of this.
I'm so proud of you.
Oh, thank you. And by the way. I appreciate you. It's so proud. It's been a long road, right? Yeah. I think I might have been with paychecks when.
Yes.
You know, and then it was then I got into medical.
And we were talking about our corporate jobs and the sales grind. Oh, man.
Yeah, sales grind, that's a real grind, man. It's so difficult.
If you let it get away from you, which I did, it can really physically burden your body.
How can someone pivot into meaningful work later in life?
It can bring you to your knees.
I'll tell you what, and I'm going to blame it all on Dan. He put me through a lot of stress at Paychex. I love it. But no, it was a very high paced, high volume, high touch job. And with that, your health can struggle. You know, when I started at Paychex, I was in decent shape. And then as the years went on, that's when I really started to struggle again with my weight because I was always pouring. I was in and out of the car, eating on the go. And we always pride ourselves in sales, like to never have breakfast or never eat lunch alone. You want to be in front of somebody. And then you're constantly eating out and it can wreak havoc on you and the stress. And it's hard to enjoy the holidays when you're completely stressed out over sales.
But for you, let's touch on that real quick. Well, no, actually, let's talk about what's in my arm. Sure.
So you are hooked up to what's called a lactated ringer bag, and that has some additional electrolytes normal than just like normal saline, which is typically what they'll hook you up with if you go into the emergency room in the hospital, which is, you know, an isotonic bag of fluids. It's exactly what's in your body. So this has some additional potassium and calcium chloride in it, and we give these to our clients who... have food poisoning, who have been maybe had vomiting for three days, hangover bags, just because it's extra hydrating, UTIs, those sorts of things.
What advice does Stacey have for managing stress and anxiety?
And then I added a B complex to this, amino acids, because your workout routine, so synthesizing that muscle. And then we added some magnesium, which magnesium is like responsible for over 300 processes in our body. Our brains, our heart, our muscles all need magnesium and we just don't get enough of it in our diets anymore.
