Do you want to get active politically? Then this episode is for YOU! We the people, for the people. The politicians work for us, remember? On this episode of the Dr. Tyna show, I sit down with Dr. Stephanie Sur. We both sit on the board of the Children’s Health Defense Oregon Chapter. Stephanie discusses how our political system works at the local state level and gives us actionable steps to best optimize our power in government and engage our legislators to build impactful relationships built on mutual respect. Today we have a quick civics lesson that I think you're absolutely going to enjoy. I really hope you learn how to empower yourself, but most of all, I hope you get active!   On This Episode We Cover: 00:04:42 - Introduction to Integrative Vet Dr. Stephanie Sur 00:05:25 - Teaching clients to take care of their animals 00:12:18 - General Legislative Process  00:16:45 - The Capitol Building  00:19:28 - Lobbyists 00:28:05 - Tips for Talking to Legislators  00:41:43 - Being Active in the Community  00:47:58 - The Importance of a Curiosity Mindset 00:50:09 - The Exposure Issue 00:55:08 - State Legislative Systems 00:57:54 - Oregon Legislation 101 01:02:03 - Kindergarten Vaccination Rate Decrease  Get Active in Oregon! https://or.childrenshealthdefense.org/about-us/sign-up https://or.childrenshealthdefense.org/home-page/legislation-101-february-9th-2024-in-salem https://www.oregonlegislature.gov https://uniteoregonnow.com https://www.oregoniansformedicalfreedom.com Sponsored By: Nutrisense Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGM) Get $30 OFF with code DRTYNA at nutrisense.io/drtyna Bioptimizers Go to bioptimizers.com/drtyna and use code DRTYNA to save 10% and get a free gift with purchase  ALITURA NATURALS SKIN CARE Use Code DRTYNA for 20% off www.alitura.com Head to www.Drtyna.com for the following offers: GET MY “OZEMPIC DONE RIGHT” FREE Mini-Course: https://www.drtyna.com/ozempicdoneright Grab my FREE GUIDE to Assess Your Metabolic Health.
