Season 6, Episode 310
Beyond Water: Understanding True Hydration with Jennifer Martinez
A conversation with Jennifer Martinez
About This Episode
Welcome back to another episode of The Amberly Lago Show! Today I'm sitting down with my good friend Jennifer "J-Mar" Martinez, founder of J-Mar Solutions and creator of Rapid Restoration.
Jennifer's journey brings together health, entrepreneurship, faith, resilience, and servant leadership. With a background in fitness and athletic performance, she became passionate about helping people understand mineral depletion, heat stress, and why feeling depleted can affect everything from energy and focus to how we show up at work and at home.
But this conversation goes far beyond Jennifer's products. We talk about what it takes to build a business in a male-dominated industry, challenge an established narrative, and continue showing up when entrepreneurship gets incredibly hard.
Jennifer started her company in 2020, right when so much of the world was shutting down. She shares how her faith in God became the foundation that kept her moving forward and why she believes relationships, service, and genuinely helping people are at the heart of great leadership and business.
We also dive into one of the hardest seasons of her entrepreneurial journey. After years of pushing through challenges, Jennifer reached a point where she finally thought, I should quit. Instead of forcing herself to work harder, she surrendered and asked God to take over. What followed was greater clarity, alignment, and a new perspective on the opportunities that hadn't worked out.
Jennifer shares a powerful reminder that sometimes rejection is protection. The opportunity we think we need may not actually be right for us yet, and what feels like a delay can sometimes be preparing us for something better.
We also talk about prioritizing your health while pursuing big goals. As entrepreneurs and high achievers, we can become so focused on our mission that we forget our ability to make an impact depends on how well we're taking care of ourselves.
If you're building a business, navigating rejection, feeling physically depleted, or wondering how you're going to keep going when things aren't happening on your timeline, this episode is a reminder to take care of yourself, stay connected to your purpose, trust the process, and keep the faith when the path gets hard.

When did this. You realize this is more than a product, it's really a mission.
Yes. I realized really, really quick that what I thought was a great solution to heat stress and dehydration and things that people struggle with daily because we don't even use the word hydration anymore. Because what do you think of when I say that word? Everyone thinks water. I was fighting a very, very, very heavy, strong narrative that is beat into us through our phones, through our screens. And that's why we changed to rapid restoration. It was trying to get past the, like, the programming that water is what you need to stay hydrated. And I knew that the water we drink is RO water. It's filtered water, you know, it doesn't have anything in it that restores us. Like there's. And we need that. And so I had this background in helping athletes, you know, perform. And so I would use restoration, you know, and to restore them, to keep them active and keep their brain, because our body runs on electrical currencies. And I knew how that worked because I grew up in a alternative health home, I guess is what you would want to call it. My mom owned health food stores and she helped people and so I understood the power of minerals and I knew that minerals help you manage.
Hey there. Thank you so much for tuning in to the Amberly Lago Show. I have one of my really good friends here with us today, Jennifer Martinez, and lots of people call her jmar and she's helped me so much. And I may have the solution for you, especially if you have headaches, you're fatigued, maybe you're missing some work, feel depleted. She is the founder and CER of JMAR Solutions and she's got her rapid restoration drops and they have said we'll get into that, but I want to, I want to have her here especially for you if you're starting a business, running a business, because she is in the industry that is primarily male dominated. So we're going to talk about business, we're going to talk, talk about faith, we're going to talk about grit to keep going when business gets hard. And we're going to talk about these drops too. So, Jen, welcome to the show.
This is awesome. I love that we're finally getting to do this. I get you to share the restoration message because, you know, you've known it and we've always talked about it. But then to, to be able to share and, and it go out to people and help them and restore them is, is what the foundation of everything that we are About.
Well, I've known you for what, three. Three years? Four years?
21.
Oh, my goodness.
This.
Five years. Yes.
Yeah, I know. Yesterday. Where's. What? Monday.
I know, right? I know, I know. Well, I just am curious because I know you have a fitness background. Like, we both share that in common, and we always. As soon as we're together, I always feel like you're home. Like, as soon as I met you, Ashley, you've been to all of my events and not just attended. Like, you've been behind the scenes, like, helping put things together, tear things apart, carry boxes, set up like you are the real deal. And one thing that I really, really love about you is you have such a heart for service. You are a servant, leader in everything that you do. I'm just curious, how did you get into what you're doing now? What was the motivation for getting into doing something? Because it's not an easy task.
Yeah.
Especially fighting a huge company, and they're saying something completely different. So how did you get into creating this restoration draw?
Well, can I say I would. If I'd known what I. What I was going to have to go through, I probably wouldn't have, because in my head I was thinking, this is so simple. We have a solution that.
So you mean you're a genuine entrepreneur?
I think every entrepreneur, I'm like, lord, if I had known. And in so many. So many moments on the floor, right? Crying and saying, like, what is going on and why is this not happening? And how am I missing it? Right? Because everything. I always say that the best business plan that you can go by is the Bible. And because in school, I wasn't very, you know, studious, and I struggled a lot and had a lot of what they would call, you know, I guess dyslexia, and they have titles for these things. But I just struggled. And so I was never a very. When it came to that kind of stuff, I wasn't the top of the class, let's put it that way. So, you know, so the. The reason. The reason why I'm saying that is because I. I wouldn't be in the place that I'm at today still. Because we started in 2020, like you did whenever, when everything was shutting down. I'm starting a business that doesn't make any sense. I'm like, lord, what am I? What. What is going on? And I had the. I had. But I had the Bible and I had the Holy Spirit. And I just was like, you know what? God wants me to take this message. And I'M going to do it and he's going to provide way and he does it through people. We have to have relationships with people. Everything is about relationships. God talks about it all the time. And he's like, in his scriptures, he only wants us to love one another. And that's what you mean when it's like a servant's heart, you know, a servant leader. They have all these terms that throw around, but it's, it's helping others and building relationships with others. And that's what King David did. He wasn't the smartest, he wasn't the most talented, and he had God's hand on his life and he was the greatest king ever because he took time with people and nurtured relationships. And so when you learn these things from our Creator, it just flows. And so I hope that answers your question.
Well, but when. Well, it leads me to another question. Did this. You realize this is more than a product, it's really a mission. Yes.
So, you know, when I, I realized really, really quick that what I thought was a great solution to heat, stress and dehydration and things that people struggle with daily because we don't even use the word hydration anymore. Because what do you think of when I say that word? Everyone thinks water, you know, and I was trying to. I was fighting in a very, very, very heavy, strong narrative that is beat into us through our phones, through our screens, you know, and I was like, where am I missing? And that's why we changed to rapid restoration. But it was trying to get past the, like, the programming that water is what you need to stay hydrated. And I knew that the water we drink is RO water. It's filtered water, you know, it doesn't have anything in it that restores us. Like there's. And we need that. And so I had this background in helping athletes, you know, perform. And so I would use, you know, restoration, you know, and to restore them, to keep them active and keep their brain. Because our body runs on electrical currencies. And I knew how that worked because I grew up in a alter alternative health home, I guess is what you would want to call it. My mom owns health food stores and she helped people. And so I understood the power of minerals and I knew that they minerals help you manage. And so I wanted to get it from going from athletes because athletes have all these, you know, the newest, that greatest thing, right? Yeah, them in the field and keep them active. But I'm like, what about the industrial athlete? You know, what about the police officer? Like My husband, you know, I knew how to fuel him for the environments that he was in. And so he was able to manage because the stress didn't go away, the sweating didn't go away. That man sweats a lot now. It's hot here in Texas, and he's got all the stuff on you. Your husband, a former officer. And so he was a great husband and a great father because he was able to manage all of those stresses that happen because I knew how to fuel him. And so that's what we're doing is we're just trying to get the message of, you know, we provide, like, we feel that gap that's missing and why people have headaches and why, especially women. We drink water all the time because we want pretty hair, skin and nails, and we want to stay hydrated and be plump with this. Harder with age. Right. It's. It's like, what's. What is going on here? And. And we. And we're doing these things, but what we're doing is we're depleting ourselves even more. And we don't know that. It's not. It's not something that's, you know, you go to your doctor and they're like, you're dehydrated. You need to drink more water. I can't get, you know, the blood work from you or whatever, and it's like, I just drank a gallon of water. You know, how am I dehydrated? So what it does is it depletes the body. And if you don't have that sodium and the minerals in your. In. In your. In fluids, we don't. We sweat out more than just water. Right. That's why you have that salt on there. You know, have you ever been out. You know, you have that on the clothes. You see it? Yeah. Yeah.
Well, when you say fuel yourself, you know, I think being in the fitness industry for a long time, I think of food when I, you know. But you're saying fuel in a different way because we need these minerals and things like that and, you know, so many uncontrollables. Yes.
And so in. In the labor industry for, for instance, that, you know, there's. They're. They're. They'll work themselves to death and they have stress from home, and that's an uncontrollable that, you know, safety can't control. Then you have the diet and, you know, you have people doing the energy drinks because they're exhausted. And, you know, when they're, like, trying to tell people not to drink energy Drinks. It's like you can't control that you
can't eat well, that hers the are like so dangerous. My, My daughter had stomach issues and the dot. She went to the hospital.
Yeah.
And the. In the hospital. The doctor said they're seeing more and more kids in the hospital and it's because of the energy drinks. So thankfully she doesn't drink those anymore.
Right.
But they're. So it's just garbage in your gut.
Yeah. Well. And you lose so much, it strips your body of the minerals to even more. And so then, then you have nutrition playing and they're not choosing the best foods. Right. Yeah. And so what I did is I fueled athletes and with, you know, with liquid electrolytes. And the reason why I don't want to say that word because even electrolytes are so misunderstood. They're not all the same. Just like salt's not all the same. You have, you know, you have your table salt and then you have your processed salts. Our, the sodium that's in our liquid is, is a sodium that is derived and harvested here in the United States, not made in the lab. And so you have the potassium. It's only four things. This is potassium, chloride, sodium and magnesium. And all of those things get, they're ionic and they just go in their bloodstream and they can reverse symptoms really quick because it's a deficiency issue, it's a depletion issue, not a lack of water issue. And so when you, or when you're having headaches, it's. There's a pressure. And when that pressure. We did this the other day on the, on the call. When you have pressure and it's water won't release that, it'll just flow through your body. You spend all your time in the bathroom, Right. And so sodium, potassium in the blood. And when it gets in your blood for blood flow, I can talk. It releases that pressure and then the pain goes away. So pressure, tension, all these things. You know, women, especially women, we, we push through all the time. And if you can just squirt, that's what we say. That's a measurement of.
Yeah, we say I'm a squirter or you squat. Say I'm a squirter. I want to ask you there, how has it been to be, you know, a female business owner going on to the field? Because we have a lot of people that listen to the show that own businesses, they're females. But yours is primarily a male dominated field. How has that been, has that been harder, easier?
I, I see them as athletes. And I was always in that world and so it doesn't phase me. Like I, I love men. I think there's.
Well, I think that when you're in the fitness industry and you're used to working with football players and other, that you feel comfortable. I'm the same.
I'm a former athlete and so is my husband and so are my kids. And so that world.
And I couldn't tell by your guns.
Yeah, you got them too. We need. If we weren't hooked up to mics, we'd be doing push ups, right? I tried to earlier and almost lost the mic, but we were, we just go off on so many tangents. I love that we're having a lot of fun.
So it hasn't been.
You haven't had it traveled. I think it's a superpower because I think that women, we're so powerful and we have a way of communicating that's so amazing and I think it just balances everything out. I don't think that I'm not of this thought that we're all equal. I think that we all have our gifts and talents and mine happens to be the gift of Gabriel. And I just love going to job sites and I love, you know, talking to people in the boardroom, you know, about how I can help them restore their bodies and restore their life. Because when you don't feel good, when you haven't eaten and your kids know it and your blood sugar's low, they're not going to ask for anything. They're going to be like, let's get mom some food. Then we'll ask, you know, or, you know what I'm saying. So when you don't feel good, you dump on those people around you. And not on purpose, you know, you don't want to dump on them. It's like you love them, right? So whenever you're, whenever you're restored and you have the ability, you manage it better, you manage relationships better. And so we always talk about restoring the home life and that affects the job site and that affects, you know, the emergency response people that are dealing with stress and stuff. Because you can't control those, those are uncontrollable. The stress, what people eat, how they sleep, all these things are uncontrollable. But when you're in a situation where you have heat, you have people working 10, 12 hour days and they're coming in either hungover or malnourished because you know they're picking something up from 7, 11.
Yeah.
And then symptoms start, heat, stress, Happens fast.
Yeah.
And so we're the. We fill that gap where we have a response tool.
Well, I want to get to, like, what you're really talking about is not just. We're not just talking about the drops. We're talking about, like, if you really heal from within, you can do better everywhere around you. And I had a friend of mine tell me a long time ago, she said, amberly, your impact is only as strong as you are healthy. And that's what I want others to know. Whether you're a business owner or whether you know, whether or not you want to make a big impact is that it starts with you and your health. And believe me, there have been many times where I'm like, I couldn't do anything. You know, last year, I was in the hospital six times. And I have to say that it took me a while before I was like, okay. And I'm going to admit this to you right now. It took me a while before I started you, because you sent me some. I think you had known I had just gotten out of the hospital, and you mailed me some. And I was like, well, let me try it.
And I wrote you a long letter, too.
And you wrote me a long letter, and it actually helped. I like that turn. It was a complete turnaround.
Yes, we can. I mean, guys are like. We've had so many endless stories at job sites where. There was one down in Austin, and, you know, the crane guy was. This is a building that's, like, all the way up to the sky, and there's a crane hanging off the side. And. And when they're. When there's only one crane guy. And so they had. They were gonna have to shut the whole job site down because he was season up with some heat stress. He was having some, you know, symptoms. Yeah. And. And so. And I just met a safety guy that was at that job site, at another job site doing a presentation. And he said, this crazy white lady gave me this stuff. She said, if I squirt it in your mouth, then, you know, you'll be. You'll feel better. And he's. That's what she called me. Crazy white lady. Because, I mean, I have a lot of fun. You know, I'm not. Yeah. I'm not professional at all. I have a really good time, and I bring energy because, you know, I want. I want to leave a presence of. There's a solution. There's a solution. We can help you. We can help you. And. And anyways, and so he's. He's like, well, give it to me then. And so we did. And. Well, he did. And he. That. That man called me and he was like, you don't understand what you just did for our company. Like, the guy was up and walking around 10 minutes, and he's like, here, take this bottle and get up there and let's get to work. Because they were going to shut down the job site for that day. Yeah. Because, you know, you need that. That's pretty important. You schedule so much around it. You shouldn't want to take it off the side of a building. I don't even know how they do that stuff.
Yeah.
It's crazy to me.
Yeah. Well, as a founder, as this, you know, and going to different job sites and really trying to get your product out there, how do you keep going? How do you develop the grit to keep going? Is it all grit? Or what is the secret to moving forward? When it gets hard.
When it gets hard because of my faith, I just say, God, where am I missing it? And I'm like, it's every. No. Or like, last year was a really tough year for us. There was a lot of delays, and there was a lot of. What's the word? I guess delays is good. We'll just use that awkward look at it.
Cat, wait, what's the audience today? And we have somebody in the audience.
This might be Rain. She's just not up here in the Black Love Gathering. She can never leave and she can never quit. So we will make sure of that. Now, all of those things were. God was like, I'm like, I'm not thriving, Lord. I'm not thriving. And this is my year to thrive, because I have words for the year. You know, 2025 is my year to thrive. And everywhere I look, it was not thriving. And I. And finally in November, I was like, I've never used this word before. And I'm five years into this thing. Right. I was like, I should. I quit. And I was like, I've never used that word. Because when athletes, we don't quit. We just push through. We'll die before we quit. Right?
Yeah.
And. And I was like, God, I can't do this anymore. And I was on. On the floor just, I can't do this anymore. And he's like, good. But I can. When it was like, everything from there just started, like, getting in alignment. The message got better. The. The alignments were better. Yes. You said that to me. When we saw each other, you go, what are you doing? And I'm like, I'm just Walking in God's grace right now and trusting him. People say trust, they trust God. But when you, you know, do you really trust God? Because when you can't pay bills and you don't have it and everything is falling apart that you've built, he's got to come through, you know? Right. And so. And I just knew he would and he has been. And, you know, every rejection was his protection. And I didn't know it at the time, but I was like, now I know it. Because if I had had that opportunity at the time I thought I needed it, it would have not thrived. It would not have been good because I would. I didn't have the message for that community. And I didn't have our fast packs or that's. That we're not going to call them that, but the. The liquid sticks that we're going to be able to. To.
You changed so much when I first met. You had the bottles, which is harder for people. Well, like me, I have a little, little bitty fanny pack that I don't even use a big purse. I think I have like a. My purse that I have with me is actually my suitcase. And so I love that you came out with the smaller bottles because I. And the little packs, because I actually put those in my fanny pack and take them everywhere, like travel with them.
And we even got the message down better with the flavor. It's not about flavor. It's about fuel because it doesn't taste good. And, you know, mineral.
Honestly, I don't like the. I. I have another product that I take.
Yeah.
And I've talked about it before. It's a gut health thing for plexus. Honestly, it's hard for me to take because I don't like sweet.
Yeah.
So I found one of their products that I. Then I take it every day because I'm. I want to fix my gut, but I don't like sweet. And the thing that I love about yours, like, you put yours in your coffee, everything.
You squirt in everything. That's why I have a shirt that says I squirt and everything. Because I do. I squirt. Because you squirt. If you need it for emergency, you can take it straight and then chase with fluids, you know, and that's what we use a lot out. We have the hurricane response team down South Texas. They have. They have a bottle in every go bag. Because when you're out in the field, you don't. You can't drink a whole thing like this, you know, with. With Powdered electrolytes that are clumping up because you're in water and. Yeah, and those things don't even work quick enough. You need something that works right when you start feeling symptoms.
Well, my family gets mad at me because I always squirted my water bottles and they go to pick up a drink and they're not expecting it, let's say, like salty, like, oh, why didn't you tell me? I'm like, well, just know. Just assume that every. Everything that I'm in is. I'm going to have that in there.
They don't give water to babies. And we never question that. And it's. It's. It's what's. It's. It. What water is. I'm so grateful that we live in.
That's so true.
If you think about that, like. Yeah, it's what's in it. It's a carrier fluid is the carrier of what we need to be able to, like God picked over the dirt, pick and breathe life into it. We're mineral foundation. Everything is. You can't. You can take all the vitamins in the world. If you don't have minerals balance in your body. If they're not going to work, you have to have the. Your kidneys run on potassium, you know, and so you're just. There's every organ. That's why people act drunk when they're. When they're dehydrated. You know how, like they start slur speech and they start acting where the sodium brain plummets to go wherever it needed at that moment.
Well, you know what? That makes sense because I could. Now I've had like quite a few times this has happened and I'm taking. I found out why now and now I'm taking care of it. But there was a time when my husband calls it. You're crashing. Yeah. And it's like I was getting depleted and I couldn't think. And it was almost like I even. I couldn't see it at first when my husband's like, you look like you're drunk right now, like something is wrong with you and it's because something's going on with my gut and my body's not absorbing what it's supposed to. And then toxins are getting released into
my bloodstream and brain plummets because of the.
Okay, it's like it shuts off. I can't.
It's an on off switch. So sodium is an on off switch for the brain. And so your body runs on electrical currencies. Right. And so whenever you. When you. Whenever that feeling comes or whenever people start noticing it, like, I'll go back to back call sometimes, and Catherine's like, you need to go get a squirt. You go, I'll start.
My husband will look at me and go, okay. Like, he gets worried because he's seen me. Had that happen to me so often. And then it got. It will get so bad that I was in the hospital and they give me IVs. But the last time that happened and I had IVs, and I still wasn't. I was better, but I felt so unstable, like, even on for a couple of days, and it wasn't until I used. I just started squirting.
Right. Well, I'm not hitting.
And it. I finally felt like myself.
Right.
It was wild. It is a weird feeling. And I finally felt like myself again.
Yes, well, because it. That's what people don't understand, is that when you're out of balance, well, we go to the chiropractor. We. You know, everything's about balance, right. And so what it does is it just goes to wherever the imbalance is, and it gets in the bloodstream really quick because it's ionic. It flows to wherever the imbalance is. And. And, you know, because what's dysfunction? It. It's God's way. Like, symptoms are God's way of telling the body.
I remember, like, screaming at me, like, something's off, something's off. But I. At the. At the hospital, I had two IVs. They had two bags in both.
I.
One in each arm. And I still wasn't right. And I got home, and that's when I started just downing.
Yeah.
The restoration drops, and that's what. Finally I had a turnaround, but I was a little bit worried. I'm like, holy crap.
Well, it was sodium alone was what you were getting, which is really important. Like, we're salt and light, you know?
Yeah.
Right. But you need to have. You needed more. You just need the. The balancing of the PH levels from the magnesium, like the magnesium in our product. You know, people talk about magnesium citrate, magnesium malate, all these. Those are compounds. The reason why they have to compound them is because they have to figure out a way for the body to digest it. And. And so our magnesium is literally harvested and derived from great salt lakes. And so it. The purest form of magnesium, it doesn't have an attached compound to it. So it gets in the. In there and balances everything out, your PH levels and everything. So it's. It's it's so important to have available when things go south because you have so many uncontrollables that, that we all deal with. And then, you know, the American diet's a lot of fun, so, you know, when we just grab easy.
Yeah. Well, even right before this, I've been in the studio all day and you got here and I was like, you know what? I need to squirt and go get a little food. Right. I was like. And because I was feeling a little bit like, oh, what's wrong with me? You know, and now I guess had my.
You had your squirt.
I had my squirt, had a little food. And I'm. I'm back. I'm human again.
I took a shot before too.
Yeah. Yeah. Well, where. Where do you see your company going next? Where do you.
Where's.
What's in next for you?
What's that? Just now that we're starting to get some platforms and things that people understand that what we're about is helping giving you a tool that you can use when things go south. Because the heat only exposes what comes to the job site every day. What comes to, you know, the office every day. What is. It's a depletion issue. And then when you rapidly deplete because of the heat, that rind. I love your rhyme. I love her. I love a good rhyme. She's like, it doesn't have to rhyme. Like it has to rhyme. And so it's how I memorize things. Because I couldn't, like I struggled with in school, so I would, you know, that's how I would remember things. But anyways, is that they can. They have access to something that they can use. It's a response tool. And that's what's missing from water, rest, shade. It's what's missing from every heat stress prevention plan. We're not preventing anything. If we were preventing any it with water, rest and shade, those things are important. You know, they cool you down. All of those things delay, nothing restores. And when you have a tool that can restore people quickly instead of having to go three to five days to get them to restore it because they have all these things set in place. When you have a heat incident.
Yeah.
You can have them restore within 10 minutes and they're, you know, they're back to work. Because people hide their symptoms because they want to work.
Yeah.
And so then when it gets too bad is when you start seeing the incidences. And so job sites are an easy way of explaining it. But it happens in every organization. Like Wildflower Firefighters. We're talking to someone right now. We're trying to get connected to them so that we can have them squirting and getting back in the fire. Because they don't want to take the time for an IV. Yeah. And they don't have to.
Well, also, IVs are very expensive. Well, and I've had IVs. I had, you know, and it is.
I've.
It's anywhere from 2 to $350 for an IV.
And the powdered electrolyte packets and all those things, they can. They get you some sodium, but they don't. They don't. They don't fuel your body to be able to, like, perform. Yeah, right. Because I used to train athletes and that's how they. My athletes performed great. Because I knew how to fuel their body. Every athlete can tear. You can tear down.
I want, I want you to know you don't have to be an athlete or in the field or a firefighter. Like, I, I feel like as an entrepreneur, you're an athlete. Like, if you want to show up and do a great job. But for me, I just want to feel good. I can do, do more good. Yeah.
You speak in jmar.
I'm speaking.
I make up names. My husband calls them J Mar isms. He calls them Jenny isms. You know, I make up words. He's like, I'm not a word. Not a word, honey. I'm like, yes, it is. It has a meaning, but it's. Thank you for bringing that up because we are starting to branch out into that now. We're doing some. I'm talking at different women's health and with different executive corporations where women are suffering from migraines and headaches and periods. Like, we get text messages all the time from men at the jobs, like, going, I gave this stuff to my daughter when she was on a cramp and the cramps are gone. And I'm like, yeah, because it's the same thing. She's. The reason why she's having that pain is because she, you know, she's losing fluid and minerals. And so, you know, we're, we're about help getting people to understand what hydration is. And it's not water. And water will. If you, if you're drinking a ton of water, you're. You're just flushing everything out of you. And so you have to restore your body. And then. And that's, that's the restoration movement is all about, is about restoring the home life and being Able to, you know, be able to function and like you said, not have to have pain, not to have that pressure. And it's so simple. It's so simple. But was so misunderstood. So that's, and that's one of the reasons why we changed the branding from rapid rehydration. That was one of the things the Lord told me that, that happened that day that I was like, okay, God, I want to quit.
I want to quit.
Yeah, we changed all of our brain to rapid restoration. And, and that just. And that's what.
And I think that's the movement too. It's rapid restoration of your self, which, when you feel good and it's the ripple effect from your home all the way into the work environment and the ripple effect that you are creating in the world.
God's the greatest restorer. I'm just the hands and feet to try and get as many people to understand that so they don't have to suffer because people are suffering and dying and they don't have to. And it's labeled onto other things. You know, a headache, when you have a headache, you know, grab Tylenol and you just. But you're not deficient in Tylenol. We just, we're just so programmed to think, no, you're deficient in sodium, potassium and all. If you get a squirt five minutes later, you don't have a headache. You know, we have countless. That's why we do, we set up shots. We have these little shot glasses and the guys love these. I'm a squirter sticker. And we make them take shots. When I get there, I got the music going. Shots, shot, shot, shots. You know, and I'm like, everybody, it's fun. And because nobody loves a safety meeting, they're going to tell you all the things you can't do. And so I had to say, you're
like, shot, shot, there you go.
You take a tequila shot and. But they'll come up to me afterwards like I was hungover. What was that? So can I get another shot? You know, so we have that buy in with the people and they're asking for it. Now we're just trying to make, trying to get the message across to the people who make the decisions and say, this is not an expense. This is, this, this is, this is true protection. And we're not a vent.
We're actually saving the money. Because yes, they're going to be able to perform better on the job. They're going to call in less sick, throw extra hours.
We did all the numbers at one of the billion dollar sites down in Austin. And the superintendent did the numbers for me because I was like, I don't know numbers like that. It was like, I can figure it out for you. He's like, we're getting three plus extra hours of productive work. Not just people being there doesn't mean they're productive, you know, and so, and then, and, and they don't want to be the guy that goes and sits in the shade because he's not feeling good. There's an ego issue with that.
But more than that, Jen, this is not just, I mean, I know, yeah, I know it's for these workers that would hate. That are. But I'm telling you, this is for anyone who wants to do better and be more productive. So I mean, I'm saying this for me, selfishly, for me, I use it because I do want to be more productive. And I'm not out there in the heat work in job sites. I'm just working in my office. But I can be more productive that way.
Because you're fueling your body.
Yeah, because I'm feeling better. My mind is clear. It's like it clears the brain fog when I start to crash that way, as my husband calls it. But where can people find this jmar
solutions.net because I'm not cool enough for. Com. Oh yeah, somebody stole that.
Not cool enough?
No. Who doesn't know who else would be JMAR Solutions? I mean, you know why I'm JMAR, right? Why are you JLo? Because JLo was a thing 20 something years ago and we were watching the TV and my husband's like, well, she's Jennifer Lopez and you're Jennifer Martinez, then you're Jamar. And that just stuck. So I was Jamar fit forever when we were in the fitness world. But then when I started my company, Pastor Keith said, you gotta be J Mar Solutions because you're always giving out solutions to people.
I love it. I love it. So people can get it there.
Yeah, awesome. And yeah, okay. I mean jmar.solutions on Instagram and then you know, Jennifer Martinez, you just link.
