Healing Law Podcast – Lairen Hallmark: Addiction, Redemption, Faith, and the Times We’re Living In

In this episode of The Healing Law Podcast, I sit down with Lairen Hallmark, a heavy equipment operator from Texas, for a powerful conversation about addiction, redemption, faith, police encounters, and the long road of personal transformation.

Lairen shares his story openly and honestly, reflecting on a past shaped by abuse, meth addiction, prison, and repeated encounters with law enforcement. But this episode is not just about the darkness of that past—it’s about what came after. Through prison, prayer, and surrendering to Jesus, Lairen found a completely different life.

We also discuss his work building substations in Texas, the rise of AI data centers, concerns about water usage and farmland, and broader questions about technology, society, and the times we are living in.


Episode Themes

  • Overcoming addiction and rebuilding a life
  • How prison became a turning point instead of the end
  • Faith, Jesus, and the power of personal transformation
  • Balanced reflections on law enforcement and accountability
  • The difference between people who change and people who return to prison
  • AI data centers, infrastructure, and the strain on land and water resources
  • Questions about truth, technology, and the spiritual climate of modern life

From Addiction to Redemption

Lairen speaks candidly about being lost in meth addiction for over 17 years. He describes how addiction changed the way he thought, how it drew him deeper into destructive patterns, and how difficult it was to break free.

Raised in an environment marked by abuse, drugs, and instability, he grew up thinking that outlaw behavior was simply part of life. But after prison forced him to sit still and confront the reality of where that path had led, something changed.

That change, in his telling, came through Jesus. He describes prison not simply as punishment, but as the place where he finally had the time and space to be reached by God in a way that transformed his life.


Police, Prison, and a Different Perspective

One of the more interesting parts of the conversation is Lairen’s perspective on law enforcement. Although he had many police encounters during his years of addiction, he makes it clear that he is not anti-police. In fact, he sees those encounters as part of the process that ultimately pushed him toward change.

He also reflects on the prison system, describing how some people come out changed while others return again and again. According to Lairen, the difference often comes down to whether a person uses that time to reflect, seek a better way, and truly change—or simply tries to become a better criminal.

The conversation offers a grounded reminder that even within broken systems, people still face a personal decision about the direction of their lives.


Work, Infrastructure, and AI Data Centers

Lairen also talks about his current work in Texas, where he helps build substation sites and infrastructure projects. This leads into a broader discussion about the rapid growth of AI data centers and the strain they may place on local communities.

He shares concerns about the enormous power demands of these facilities, as well as the large amounts of water required to cool both the data centers and the power systems supporting them. In farming regions already dependent on aquifers and irrigation, those changes could have serious long-term consequences for both agriculture and local residents.

The episode connects these local infrastructure realities to a bigger question: what happens when technological expansion begins reshaping the land, water, and livelihoods of ordinary people?


Faith, Truth, and the Times We’re Living In

Throughout the episode, Lairen returns to one central message: seek Jesus while there is still time. Whether discussing his own life, modern confusion, or the strange direction of the world, his perspective is rooted in a belief that spiritual realities are becoming harder to ignore.

Even when the conversation moves into difficult territory—technology, deception, spiritual warfare, or the instability of modern society—the deeper message remains the same: change is possible, truth matters, and no one is beyond redemption.

“If you don’t know Jesus, please find Him. The time is getting short.”

Episode Transcript:

Douglas Dedrick (00:00)
Welcome to the healing law podcast today. We have laryn hallmark. He’s a heavy equipment operator in texas and he’s got an extraordinary point of view about life and extraordinary Stories about police interactions and all these his overcoming his challenges and his youth and like we all have it, know We’ve had a lot of conversations about that already. So it’s not as you know And ⁓ anyhow without further ado larren, how you doing today, mom?

Lairen Hallmark (00:27)
I’m doing pretty good. Thank you for inviting me on. Glad to be here. Yeah, I mean, I could give you a short story. ⁓ was lost on meth for 17 and a half years. And in that time, there were quite a bit of police encounters. And I do have to say this, that probably the majority of them, they did pretty good. But there was one specific police department that wasn’t too great. Like they were kind of…

dirty they never planted anything on me and they were after the right guy but they just kinda went about it in dirty ways you know what I mean?

Douglas Dedrick (01:01)
Mm-hmm. Yeah, last guy who was on here. Yeah, dude I guess since he was when he was eight years old he was still by police officers if he crossed the road he would be shot like that was so ever since when he had so many stories like that like His way, he still like tries to like really put it in perspective Honestly, it’s yeah. So but you in general are not anti police or anything by any means I wouldn’t

Lairen Hallmark (01:11)
Damn.

No, sir. Not at

all. oddly enough, nowadays that I’ve cleaned up my life. Some of my best friends are police officers, you know, and, ⁓ well, you know, so, ⁓ but I don’t want to mention their names on here, but, ⁓ yeah, man, they, they’re really good and they’re understanding. And I mean, they, they’re about their job for sure. But you know, you deal with knuckleheads and I have to say back then I wasn’t knucklehead. mean, I was, I was lost on meth. So, I mean, my mind was.

Douglas Dedrick (01:33)
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Lairen Hallmark (01:54)
gone and I was a totally different person man but ⁓ in all honesty the police officers were the first step in me finding Jesus because that’s what it took I couldn’t he tried to find me on my own but I just wouldn’t sit still long enough and that’s actually what it took to get me off of that he set me down and I only did 20 months but still it seems like eternity when you’re in there because I mean you’d be surprised like time moves really fast out here

It’s not like that in there. just crawls by like you’re finding anything to keep yourself occupied. yeah, man, the police officers, I realized they were the first step at ⁓ the Lord reaching me. So I had time to sit down and sit still. And I knew exactly why I was in there. Because I was trying to get away from it. Not just good. And I was just too weak. Had me by the nose. And man, I got to sit in there and I got to meet a lot of guys that were in there that were

crazy talented and a lot of them just had the same struggles I had. mean as a child growing up I was physically abused, sexually abused. My dad taught me how to break down drugs when I was nine years old. I mean that was how I grew up and I grew up thinking being an outlaw was ⁓ the way to be, know. So I was kind of actively trying to be a bad guy without being a bad guy, you know. I don’t know how to explain that. Yeah, that was…

Douglas Dedrick (03:14)
Yeah.

Lairen Hallmark (03:17)
That was who I grew up around. my mom, she was always trying to get me in the church and stuff like that. It just never stuck. And the thing about Jesus is you’re not going to come to him until he calls you and he’ll give you your opportunities. And then it’s your turn to seek him, you know? But yeah, man, I found Jesus and he took my addiction and set me free and just changed my life, man. I got blessed when I got out. It took a little while, but man, he blessed me with my forever wife and

She’s given me a kid, so I have four total children. man, it’s honestly a good woman to make you break you. And he gave her to me and she is fantastic. So she keeps me in line for sure.

Douglas Dedrick (04:00)
That’s awesome man. Yeah, it’s great to see that you’ve like it made a total turnaround because you you work really hard I mean like you’re doing serious work there. ⁓ now deep you want to get into it in Texas, but You’re built like the structures you’re building. I don’t know if you want to touch on that

Lairen Hallmark (04:17)
Yeah, for sure. Well, I work for a turnkey substation company and I do the dirt work side of it. I’ve done a little bit of all three sides of it. There’s a, ⁓ site work and then below grade and above grade, which the above grade is the structures you’re talking about.

Douglas Dedrick (04:33)
Mm.

Mm-mm. Mm-mm.

Lairen Hallmark (04:44)
Yeah, man, we do everything from start to finish. ⁓ my main job is just to go out there and build the sites.

Douglas Dedrick (04:51)
Specifically what you’re working on, which is the most interesting, is that you’re working on these substations for AI data centers.

Lairen Hallmark (04:56)
Yes,

Well, this one’s not exactly for that but the AI data centers are going up all around us out here and Man, I’ve been learning more and more about this stuff and be honest North Texas is in in danger because ⁓ If you hear about the matador project there they’re building I can’t remember. It’s like 11 gigawatts, which is a huge amount of power. I don’t even know how to put that into description for you, but ⁓

Douglas Dedrick (05:07)
Hmm.

So you’re saying one’s going to need like two nuclear plants potentially or something like that is what you’re hearing just for one data set.

Lairen Hallmark (05:33)
Yes, sir. They’re building two.

if you look it up on Google that talks about they’re going to run off of the two power plants. ⁓

Let’s see, I can’t remember what it says. I sent you the picture of it earlier, they’re running off of solar energy and everything. I mean, it’s pulling so much energy to run these AI centers. It’s crazy. But the water part of it is what concerns me because it’s going to take a huge amount of water to cool not only the AI data center, but the power plants as well. And they’re going to be pulling out of the aquifers and they’re claiming that they’re only going to pull once, but it’s hot.

Douglas Dedrick (05:47)
You know, I’m told.

Lairen Hallmark (06:11)
in Texas, I don’t know if you’ve ever been down here, but it’s extremely hot.

Douglas Dedrick (06:14)
Oh, yeah,

and the air is dry too. I remember at least in some areas. It was the only time in my life I made a sandwich and it was like by the time I made it the bread was crusty and stale It was like so dry and arid like it was crusty by the time I ate it I was like what in the world so it’s already dry there in lot of the regions and So but they’re putting these data center in the farmland, right? a lot of

Lairen Hallmark (06:26)
Yeah.

Sound like you’re Yes, sir. Well, they say.

Yeah, they’re saying

they’re gonna circulate it around and they’re only gonna have to pull water once, but the water’s gonna evaporate. They’re gonna have to keep doing that. And all the farms and stuff down here, they run off of irrigation from these aquifers that are underground. And it’s gonna dry that thing up. And then they say that the solution to it, they’re gonna pipe water from some river somewhere up north. But they’ve been talking about that since 1950 is what I’m to understand. And it’s just not feasible.

But furthermore, I mean, if they were gonna do that, why don’t they just do that to cool the plants? Long story short, they’re gonna dry it up and it’s gonna kill the farmers up here is what’s gonna happen. So, and it’s, mean.

Douglas Dedrick (07:19)
Well, not just the farmer,

I mean it’s the people who are relying on his farms as well.

Lairen Hallmark (07:23)
Yeah. Yes sir, exactly. And it’s, I don’t know, I just felt like it’s unnecessary that nobody really wants them up here. Here iwhere I’m at currently, man, they got one going up here and it is huge. It’s like the size of another city. They actually had to shut down a couple of them because they couldn’t get enough trucks to get the base out there for the pads that they’re building. And we’ve been struggling actually trying to get dirt.

Douglas Dedrick (07:46)
Mmm.

Lairen Hallmark (07:49)
You base to build our substations because the data center is taking all of it, you know I talked to one guy. He said he was getting like a thousand trucks a day, which I don’t know if he put that into a How do I explain that a thousand trucks a day is a lot so Yes, sir. It’s about 22 to 25 22 to 25 yards a truck. So for every hundred yards, there’s four trucks, you know so but they’re just

Douglas Dedrick (08:02)
many odds of truss or how many odds?

Lairen Hallmark (08:16)
I mean it’s crazy that’s a lot of material to be moving out there. But yeah they’re huge. And I don’t understand exactly what they’re doing with that but it’s kind of scary I don’t know. If we can get into the Bible you’re reading Revelation and stuff I’m pretty sure we’re living in that right now. No kidding because…

Douglas Dedrick (08:34)
Well, it sure

seems to be man This is one of these projects you’re talking about is like The Fermi is run by the Fermi America or something if you look in the Fermi paradox It’s like the search for extraterrestrial life, but they’re building this AI data center. It’s like What do you think about all like what do you think AI it like is it conscious is it it? I can’t really tell what it is man. I don’t know. I don’t want to it on. What do you think?

Lairen Hallmark (08:37)
Yeah, for sure. If you look all over the world.

Yeah.

I’ll go with you on my thoughts, man. I feel like it’s been in play for a while. It’s a war against good and evil. And if you believe in Jesus or the devil, either one, then you understand that. If you can’t see that by looking around these days, I don’t know what to tell you. I mean, you can see it. It’s war, good and evil. And I feel like if you go back to the great flood, that was when the Nephilim and all that stuff was wiped out and taken out. Well, they lost their physical bodies, but their spirits are still here and they’re looking for new bodies to inhabit.

I mean, that’s why there’s still demon possessions and all that other stuff, is they’re trying to get out. And now the AI is providing that route. And they call it extraterrestrials and stuff like that, but I think it’s just demons. That’s my personal opinion on it. So I can’t back that up with scripture, but.

Douglas Dedrick (09:50)
think there’s a mix of

things because it’s like the Watchers in the Bible. I don’t think they were all bad. Some of them turn corrupt or whatever. But what are they in general then? It’s like because the ones who didn’t fall are still around. And then you talk about the Flat Earth and everybody’s like, there’s just extra realms and this and that. And I really put it in perspective the other day. I was like, the stars are only like if they’re just reflections of light. And then these rocks, we could just be creating them based on what we expect to come out of the heavens.

these rocks and stuff. when we zoom out, that’s why we can’t go to space. They talk about going to Mars and stuff. We don’t go. So it’s like, is it really there?

Lairen Hallmark (10:23)
Yeah.

Yeah, well that goes back to the

Bible too. If you read the firmament, it’s in Genesis 1. think it’s explaining the firmament in there. And then if you want to go with today’s age, I think there’s a clip of Hillary Clinton talking about Operation Glass Dome. If you look that up, she’s talking about, hadn’t got through it, but there’s a million cracks in it or something like that. Here’s another one I’ll throw at you. It’s kind of, I don’t want to sound crazy on here, but I don’t really care.

We were in Corpus Christi working. We’re in Corpus Christi working and we’re out there doing our tailgate meeting. have a safety meeting every morning before we start to make sure our guys stay safe. And we see this thing and it’s just shooting up way down south. And we’re like, what in the heck is that? I mean, it looked crazy. We didn’t know what it was. And then it went up and it hit the sky and there was this big, it looked like a portal opened up is the only way to explain it.

Douglas Dedrick (10:55)
Thank you

Lairen Hallmark (11:22)
And we’re sitting there and I’m looking at it and we’re all going, what the heck was that? You know, nobody had any idea. We’ll come to find out it was one of Elon Musk rockets went up. And I think that explosion that we saw was where it hit the firmament. But I don’t know, they say that’s where it separates. The rocket separates or something like that. But if you watch them, they always hit and they go like this. Like they always plane off at a certain point, but you know, so I don’t think we can honestly get through the firmament. according to God’s word, we can’t.

Douglas Dedrick (11:46)
Bye.

Lairen Hallmark (11:52)
So, and it says in there to let God be true and every man be a liar. So I believe the Lord and you know, people call me crazy because you know, I believe the Lord, you know, I believe what he said. So, and then the flat.

Douglas Dedrick (12:04)
Yeah, i’ve seen some of those rockets

on the sky they make it looks like a vortex the way that they you’ve never seen such a thing though until these rockets Now there it’s just like the common sight of these vortexes Important like it’s the oddest looking thing and they say it’s just a rocket going into space

Lairen Hallmark (12:09)
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, I don’t know that they’re actually out there, but furthermore, mean, if we talking about that, if you get into the, if we have satellites and stuff, why are they still flying weather balloons? Weather balloon, you know, the things that float up, they just float up there and get shot down. think we shot a Chinese one down or something like that. Yeah. I’m like, well, think about it. If they got satellites that can zoom in on license plates from outer space, you know, how is it the

Douglas Dedrick (12:40)
You know, the Chinese leather balloon? The random Chinese leather balloon.

Lairen Hallmark (12:52)
You know, why do they need weather balloons still? It doesn’t make sense to me. But I don’t, that’s the other thing kind of with society these days. Like there’s so much stuff that goes around that you don’t know what to believe anymore. And it’s like at the point to where you can’t figure out what’s real and what’s fake anymore. What do you do? You know?

Douglas Dedrick (12:57)
Mm.

Yeah, it’s crazy. Like last year started off with aliens and orbs flying around and drones everywhere hovering around and it just all disappeared. What was any of that? Nobody.

Lairen Hallmark (13:17)
Yeah.

Yeah, just

went away. No idea, But ⁓ yeah, I don’t know. feel like, I feel like Jesus is close is the best thing I can say. So if your house ain’t in order, would, I would encourage anybody listening to this to seek Jesus now, why, why before it’s too late, because once he comes, there isn’t no do over, you know, it’s done. So

Douglas Dedrick (13:50)
Looking back at yourself in the past, before and after, your past self, what would you give a piece of advice you’d give yourself?

Lairen Hallmark (14:00)
don’t do drugs. That’d be the best thing, man. I lost 17 years of my life to that and I had no idea. That’s the thing with the methamphetamine specifically is it lets you think that you’re in control. Like you think you’re in control and what’s going on. I can think back about it now and ⁓ I can remember I used to smoke it is what it was and I would remember smoking it and feeling that feeling just kind of run through your body like

Douglas Dedrick (14:02)
Peace.

Lairen Hallmark (14:31)
I don’t know, the best way I can describe it now is every time I did that it was a spirit that entered my body and just changed me is what it is. So it went from, I don’t know, I guess it makes you a very selfish and self-centered person that’s, you know, after a while all you care about is getting high and it doesn’t matter what you got to do to get there. you know, but.

Douglas Dedrick (14:42)
Yeah.

Yeah, you wouldn’t.

Some people totally come off like they would have abused it, but you just don’t come off like that at all somehow.

Lairen Hallmark (15:01)
Well, and I attribute

that to the Lord and I’m not going to lie, I had some dental work done to get my teeth fixed because I had some missing right in the front. Well, it wasn’t, it was a space in between the two, I don’t know what you call it, but your front tooth and the next one over. Yeah, there was a space right there that was gone. So I did go get that fixed. But other than that, the Lord has done me pretty well as far as keeping me together, even though I don’t deserve it.

Douglas Dedrick (15:18)
Yeah.

Lairen Hallmark (15:29)
And then there’s another saying that they say prison preserves. I don’t know if that has to do with the sunlight or what, but a lot of people come out of there and they don’t hardly have any wrinkles.

Douglas Dedrick (15:41)
⁓ I’ve never heard that before.

Lairen Hallmark (15:44)
I know it’s silly, but I mean, it’s, it’s a legit thing. So, but some people come out with tattoos on their face and I don’t understand that either, but that’s the other thing, man. You were talking about the police and, ⁓ I have to say the prison system, in our opinion, it’s failing. And I’m sure the way the courts and all that stuff goes, that’s, that’s definitely broken, but there’s two different people that go into prison. There’s the ones that’s going to come back and there’s the ones that’s not.

And you have time to sit there and think about what you’ve done and how you got here and this and that. And if you do that and seek a different way, man, you won’t see that place again. But if you go in there trying to be a better criminal, then I mean, that doesn’t make sense anyway. You’re learning from people that got caught too. it’s like, you know, are you going to pay the better? Exactly. So that’s kind of funny. I’d hear those people having those conversations. I’m just shaking my head like, Hey, never go.

Douglas Dedrick (16:29)
Yeah.

The worst group of people to learn from. ⁓

Lairen Hallmark (16:45)
But some people don’t Yeah, exactly. but yeah, no, that’s it’s a good place, though. But there’s a lot of people in there that are seeking Jesus and trying to find him. The unit that I went to was pretty crazy. had a it was Nicknamed Bloody Bartlett was what it was called. And by the time I left there, it was Nicknamed Bartlett Bible School. So it was it was pretty neat.

Douglas Dedrick (16:46)
Just wrapping themselves up in another one. ⁓ man. ⁓

That’s pretty awesome,

Lairen Hallmark (17:16)
You want to hear a crazy,

a crazy little story about the Lord in Exodus 14 14. It says the Lord will fight for you and you should keep your peace. Well, when they move you in there, they put you in a holding area where they get your medical stuff together and figure out where they’re to put you and all that other stuff. Well, we were hearing about this one dorm over there. They put you in pods with like 30, 40 guys and.

Douglas Dedrick (17:21)
Anyway, good luck.

Lairen Hallmark (17:40)
They were talking about this guy, they had life lighted somebody out of there and like they were just called, they call it rocking and rolling. They were saying, you know, were fighting and all this other stuff. Well, when I was out on the yard, I was running, exercising and I heard this one big dude and he was talking about Jesus and I felt like in there, I was the only one that was even trying to find Jesus. But I heard that guy and I didn’t talk to him at the time. And then when they went to pass out our slips saying where we were going, I was going over to that one that everybody was talking about was so bad.

And I stopped and I prayed and I asked the Lord, I was like, Lord, if you will just send that one guy over there so I have somebody to talk to about you. And I was like, and I trust you, whatever’s gonna happen is gonna happen. And then we get in line and that dude’s standing behind me and everybody was like, shaking their head like, oh man, I feel bad for you, I feel bad for you. And I was like, man, I trust the Lord, we’re gonna be fine. And I asked that guy, was like, hey, where are you going? And he was going to that place too. And I started laughing, I was like, it’s probably my fault.

And he’s like, what? was like, yeah, I heard you talking about Jesus and I prayed you’d be over there with me so we could talk about him together. And he’s like, man, it’s rocking and rolling over there. I was like, yeah, well, whenever we get out, they send us over there and they got our bunks wrong because he’s a big old dude and can’t get on a top bunk. And I’m a little guy and they have me on the bottom bunk so I can get up and down. So they go to change us around and they send us to like five other places and then they just leave us sitting out there by ourselves, which is pretty uncommon. And we’re just

out here, there’s no guards, nobody. And he’s like, man, you want to, you want to pray before we go over there? And I was like, yeah, absolutely. And so we prayed, we bowed our heads and we were like, ⁓ dear Lord, we just ask in the name of Jesus that you cast out every evil and unclean spirit in the name of Jesus. And brother, I am not exaggerating a bit. As soon as we broke from that prayer, guards just erupted from all over the place and they were running right over there. And we’re like, what the heck’s going on? Well, they figure out we’re out there and they’re like, Hey, y’all come in here until we get this settled.

And they bring us in there and then come to find out they had a, I don’t know, I guess you’d call it a race war or something like that, but it was the blacks against the whites. And everybody that was a knucklehead, I guess you’d say was gone. We got in there and it was smooth as glass, man. And I’m like, thank you Jesus. Cause I mean, it just made it a lot easier, a lot easier. So, but yeah, the Lord answers prayers.

Douglas Dedrick (19:56)
Yeah.

That’s awesome. Yes. Yes, sir. ⁓ I do this to everyone. I don’t know if I’ve talked to you about it before or not. Do you know about fulvic acid, Darren?

Lairen Hallmark (20:04)
pretty cool.

Man, I’ve heard a little bit, but I can’t say that I know much about it, but go for it. What do got?

Douglas Dedrick (20:17)
Do you know about Shilla Jet? Anybody know about that one?

Lairen Hallmark (20:20)
I’ve

actually taken that and I didn’t honestly see a whole lot of difference with that. Like I took it for a while, but I didn’t.

Douglas Dedrick (20:28)
It really depends on the brand. It depends on the brand because the active a lot of the active component of Shillage is the fulvic acid content. And a lot of them will say like it’s 85 or 90 percent, which is a it’s a lie. It’s not it’s like six or seven percent. And it’s fake because real Shillage has like 15 to 20 percent. But this this episode of the Healing Law Podcast is sponsored by American Grit fulvic. You can find out more at OperationAmericanGrit.com. We have the strongest fulvic acid known.

Based on the most standardized tests in the world at 35%. So anybody claiming more is either standardizing and processing their product or lying. Anyhow, I’ll send you some of mine actually. It’s like, so it’s ancient plant compost and it’s like, it helps your body assimilate nutrients and it carries, it’s good for energy and focus primarily and helps like clean out polyphenols in general, which are plant compounds like resveratrol.

Lairen Hallmark (21:07)
Yeah. Now what does the fulvic acid do?

What is-

Douglas Dedrick (21:25)
That’s why they say what red wine is good. Like this is it resveratrols in there or somewhat. There’s a lot of polyphenols like that. But they feed the like I was going with that. But it’s too much information. ⁓ I can talk to more about it I’ll send you some I will send you some. You’ll notice it in like two or three weeks of like a little bit. It’s tiny bit.

Lairen Hallmark (21:29)
Yeah.

Nah, that’s cool. Yeah, for sure. I’d like to check it out.

Yeah.

Well, I definitely like check it out. Heck, I just discovered baking soda not real long ago. I never had indigestion very much, but not real long ago I got hit bad, man. And I tried all the little over the counter, you know, advertise whatever. then something was like, try baking soda and water. So I took a little bit of baking soda and put in there and shook it up and it killed it like that. And so I carry baking soda with me and I take cayenne pepper and been doing the nitric.

Oxide stuff here lately? Trying to.

Beat juice or

yeah, beat juice is like that’s what that has or makes your body produce. I forget which one. The beat juice is like essential.

Lairen Hallmark (22:30)
Beat you.

Well, I will definitely try that because I kind of stray away from medications. I don’t honestly trust doctors or any of that stuff, man. It’s a I not real long ago started taking TRT and I did see a difference with that, but I just don’t I don’t know. It was kind of when I went in to talk to the doctor after they did my blood work, he came back in the door. He’s like, hey, you know, it was kind of filling me out to see if I wanted to get on cancer medication or something like that. But

He’s like, you don’t run in your family? And I was like, no, he’s like, oh, huh. And then I started watching later because I can actually see my blood results. And I looked at my PSA and it was like at a one something. Like, they say when it’s around five, it’s bad. Like I’m not a professional, so don’t take medical advice from me. But anyway, so yeah, I just felt like he was kind of trying to fill me out. I hadn’t been on that stuff in about, I don’t know, two months now and I’m still feeling pretty good because I just kind of, I don’t.

Douglas Dedrick (23:03)
my goodness.

Lairen Hallmark (23:31)
I don’t like the idea of having to inject that stuff in yourself. You put it in your thigh. I don’t know.

Douglas Dedrick (23:35)
Yeah,

know people that do it too. I full of it full of the cast can improve testosterone like naturally it does do that but um I think it did for me personally by having come test results, but um Yeah, there’s a lot of interesting things that could do that too But a lot of like I think a lot of the problem is we get full of these phytochemicals and it blocks our receptors. They’re phytoestrogens So like they block the the testosterone and all this too. It’s like I speculate but um

Lairen Hallmark (23:42)
Ahem.

Yeah.

Probably.

No, I agree with that 100 % man, 100%. And I think blood flow has a lot to do with it. So I don’t know. Like I had noticed not real long ago that my vision was getting a little bit more blurry. And I started looking at this stuff and they were saying that that’s from, you know, oxygen, lack of oxygen or whatever. So that’s why I kind of started trying to take that. Was it nitric? Nitric? What’s it called? Nitric oxide or whatever. I don’t know.

Douglas Dedrick (24:30)
Nitric oxide.

Lairen Hallmark (24:33)
Yeah, I’ve been taking that now. I don’t know if it’s in my mind or what, but I hadn’t had to use my glasses since I’ve been taking it. So that could be in my mouth.

Douglas Dedrick (24:39)
Yeah, well the wax is like

it nitric oxide is really essential and beat but beet juice I think has it now I think it causes your body to produce it I have to look into this again rather than being directly outside

Lairen Hallmark (24:53)
Yeah.

I’d rather do something more natural.

Douglas Dedrick (25:00)
There’s always a bit.

Lairen Hallmark (25:01)
because that goes back to

the Bible too. Yeah, the Lord says that he’s put a cure out there for everything, you know, in the plants and stuff like that. So, yeah, for sure.

Douglas Dedrick (25:11)
believe it. It’s all right. Anytime

I’ve seen it. They like that. I think like the one thing that doctors are great for is like trauma, like car accidents and they got to stitch you up to save your life. Yeah, we got what else you’re going to do. But mostly in general, I wouldn’t. I don’t I don’t. This is medical advice. I don’t you know, I’m not a doctor or medical professional either. So just talking about my beliefs. Laren, I don’t want to take too much of your time and I

Lairen Hallmark (25:24)
Okay.

Douglas Dedrick (25:41)
⁓ gotta wrap this up. I got something else I gotta talk with right after this But I really ⁓ enjoy talking to you and thank you so much for coming on. Is there anything else you want to share with us? Anything else you want to

Lairen Hallmark (25:52)
No man, just
