So she had many tips, but one 51 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 4: of them that I took away because I love my 52 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 4: I've got a little girl. She's a toddler and I 53 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 4: absolutely adore her and I spend as much time with 54 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 4: her as possible, and she loves fruits and vegetables, thank goodness, 55 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 4: Oh my god. So she's inspiring me. And one of 56 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: the tips was culiar fruits and vegetables. So carrots, cucumber, 57 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 4: apples and pop them in ice water, pop them in 58 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 4: the fridge. This is what they would do in a restaurant. 59 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 4: She was saying, maybe two hours, and then you add 60 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: them to the salad and they're really crispy. So my 61 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 4: adaptation was, rather than lug water around with you, it 62 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 4: just pops some ice cubes in a tupperware and then 63 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,359 Speaker 4: head off for the day with your cut up cucumbers, apples, 64 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 4: whatever you want. And then when it came to snap 65 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 4: time for my daughter, I was taking them out and 66 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 4: I was really excited to eat them because there's so 67 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: much much more sensational and so fresh and crispy and tasty, 68 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 4: and I think it's. 69 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 5: Going to put a love into it. 70 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, like I made this, Yeah, romanticize the process, as 71 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 2: well as it tasting really fresh. 72 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 4: Rather than these sort of squished up fruits and vegetables 73 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: a little type away right, that are room temperature, So 74 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,079 Speaker 4: I find I'm looking forward to it.

I've always been interested in nutrition, so I 148 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 4: was one of those unusual people who would be reading 149 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 4: like I remember back then it was like Patrick Holford's 150 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 4: Nutrition Bible. Now it's really on the train and people 151 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 4: would come and like, you're. 152 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,239 Speaker 1: Reading that for fun. 153 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 4: I was always interested. I never really planned to study 154 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: it and then apply it, but I did actually study 155 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 4: nutrition full time in life when I actually it's a 156 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 4: funny way it worked out. I disrupted my visa to 157 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 4: work in London, so I actually my whole family lived 158 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 4: in London. It's a complicated story, but I was on 159 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 4: my own visa yeah, to stay. I thought, well, I've 160 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: always wanted to learn more about nutrition. I'll do a 161 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 4: nutrition course. So I did that alongside working as an 162 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 4: assistant psychologist. So unusual, but it was a great time. 163 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 4: Learned so much, and it was later that I started 164 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 4: to see it as a way of application because during 165 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 4: my doctoral training I was working with people with psychology 166 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 4: right CBT, working with people who had severe OCD who 167 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 4: had been in therapy for a long time. Counseling group therapy, 168 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 4: psychoanalytic therapy, all sorts of different therapies. 169 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 5: Than I thought. 170 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 4: There's being more we can do to support even the 171 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 4: vessel that supports their mind. I was so fascinated in 172 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: the link between both directions. Right, our body influences our 173 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 4: mind and vice versa, and I was really keen to 174 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 4: do that for my research, but at the time it 175 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: was just really not a thing. So I actually fast 176 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 4: forward to when I lived in Australia. I had a 177 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 4: period where I had some dental work, I had an accident, 178 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 4: and then I had a lot of antibiotics, so I 179 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: disrupted my microbiome. Microbiome wasn't this word that you heard 180 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 4: a lot of the time. So basically for almost a year, 181 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: I started to feel bloated. I started to break out 182 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: for the first time on my skin, and I would 183 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 4: be doing an exercise class and feel like leaving halfway through, 184 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 4: which was. 185 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: Really new for me. 186 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 4: I usually have a lot of energy, and I remember 187 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: thinking at the time, maybe this is aging. 188 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: Maybe. 189 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 4: You can put it after other things. But then eventually 190 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,880 Speaker 4: I came across the word microbiome and I thought fascinating, 191 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 4: So I started doing a lot of research, came across 192 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:45,520 Speaker 4: the gaps. Basically, digestive Healing program applied it to myself, 193 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,079 Speaker 4: and I always thought I was a healthy person before. 194 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 4: My mom used to make our plato and put crushed 195 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 4: up cherries to make the colors, you know, and they 196 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 4: used to shop with us and get produced from the market, 197 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,679 Speaker 4: you know, that type of thing. So I just thought 198 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 4: I was healthy. But when I did the digestive Healing program, 199 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 4: I was even healthier than before. So because it made 200 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: such a difference for me, I really wanted to study 201 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: it and help other people. So that so I've come 202 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 4: to be a guts practitioner today. So I have digestive 203 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 4: health clinic and psychology life where. 204 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: I think. 205 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 2: That's really interesting though, because there are so many connections 206 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 2: between our gut health and general health, and then of 207 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:27,520 Speaker 2: course like our mental health as well, and our energy 208 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 2: levels and so many of those things, and it's also interlinked. 209 00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 2: So that's really cool as well. You've been able to 210 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,199 Speaker 2: apply those schools of thought together. 211 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 5: I'd love to know how does your gut health impact 212 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 5: your mood? 213 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 4: The best thing to kind of set that scene is 214 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 4: the mechanism behind it, right, think about the animal experiencements 215 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 4: that we're done. So I don't know if you've heard 216 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 4: about vehicle transplants or it can be called crapstools, which 217 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 4: is basically like stool in a capsule that people might. 218 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 1: Take and that. 219 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: Yeah. 220 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, so if you take who. 221 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 4: Your code, actually do that because the idea is it 222 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 4: change is the composition of your own bacteria you obviously 223 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 4: want to be Yeah, it's a very How does one 224 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: get these? Okay, so let's think animals take a shit 225 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 4: and then I'm kidding, No, this was done. Actually there's okay, 226 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 4: there's a Netflix documentary called Gut and there was a 227 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 4: girl she had out of breakouts, which we know that 228 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 4: a really diverse microbiome helps your gut lining become very healthy. 229 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 4: It's all interlinked and your skin is a direct reflection 230 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 4: of your gut microbiome. So she actually was taking the 231 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 4: crap store. So she took crystal from her Boyfrost. That's romantic, 232 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,439 Speaker 4: and it was started working. So for whatever it was, 233 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: it worked. 234 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 5: But get this. 235 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: You talked about mood, right, she started to become depressed 236 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: because he had a history of depression. It has this 237 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 4: composition of bacteria, not enough bacteria that make all the 238 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 4: feel good brain chemicals. Right, and too many that can 239 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 4: generate depression on low mooge, and so she stopped. But 240 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 4: that's one example to set the tone. And there's animal 241 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 4: experiments that really show this length really clearly. So if 242 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: you take anxious rats, ones that are sort of fidgety, 243 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: show a lot of anxious behavior, put them into one group, 244 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 4: and then they're like, take really placid rats and put 245 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 4: them into another group. And you take the store from 246 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 4: the placid rats and put it into the anxious rats 247 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: microbi on their gut, the anxious rats start to show 248 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 4: more placid behavior and RoCE rosa. 249 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 3: So obviously gut health is one of the most important 250 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 3: things that you can be focusing on. Why do we 251 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 3: need to be locked in and understanding our gut health? 252 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,439 Speaker 4: Ninety percent of serotonin, which is our joy brain chemicals, 253 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 4: are made in the gut ninety percent, So if you've 254 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 4: got an unbalanced gud, it's bound to affect your mood. 255 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: Right. 256 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 5: Wait, no, I hadn't actually heard. 257 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 4: And then seventy five percent of dopamine and gabbas and 258 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 4: gabba is your anxiety, right, So it's we can have stimulation, 259 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 4: but we want to return to a state of calm 260 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 4: and we want to feel centered most of the time. 261 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: That's gather So seventy five percent is made in your gut. 262 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 4: So again, if you've got dyspiosis, you're not going to 263 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 4: be firing on all cylinders emotionally. 264 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 6: I need a moment I heard that, Oh my god, 265 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 6: because I think you kind of see more of the 266 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 6: stats around you know, those happy brain juices and brain chemicals. 267 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 3: It's like you know, working out and going for a 268 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 3: walk and like you know, making your bed. That's like 269 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 3: how you kind of get those good brain juices flowing. 270 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: But the fact that so much of it is haired 271 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 3: to it's actually a physical basis. Yeah, and that a 272 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: lot of that is like something that is very ignored 273 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 3: or not well known, Like we don't know how to 274 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: have good gut health because there's so much misinformation or 275 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 3: there is just so much information that you don't know 276 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: what to kind of go with. But with that in mind, 277 00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 3: what are some of like the red flags that someone 278 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 3: does doesn't have good gut health? 279 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: I think in life, because we're so busy and Sydney 280 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,319 Speaker 4: is such a fun place to live, there's so much 281 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 4: going on all the time, and you might not take 282 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 4: that stock to really reflect on what's maybe slowly changing. 283 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 4: So I think if you know, you generally know how 284 00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,959 Speaker 4: bloated you are, so fair enough hormone of fluctuations, that's normal, right, 285 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 4: Maybe before your time of the month where you've gotten 286 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 4: a full uterous line and you've got more progesterone, it 287 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 4: causes slower digestive transit, so your gut is moving slower 288 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:28,959 Speaker 4: and it's more acceptable, right. It depends if you look 289 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 4: like second trimester pregnant, then maybe there's a lot of distress. 290 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 4: Maybe that's a red flag. Right, If you're bloated most 291 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 4: of the time and quite bloated, that's red flag, right, Yeah, 292 00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: that's discomfort and distress. Other red flags would be energy levels. 293 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 4: If you're usually feeling like buoyant and inspired, you just 294 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 4: don't feel quite your self. Brain fog is very linked 295 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: to biosis. Of dis Biosis is one word to describe 296 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: too much bad bacteria not enough good bacteria. So if 297 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,359 Speaker 4: you're feeling sort of spacey and you're losing your words 298 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 4: and normally you're not like that, again, that's another red flag. 299 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 4: And skin breakos you know I mentioned that before, and 300 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 4: suddenly your skin is breaking out, then in some ways 301 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 4: like think of the gut as you're cleaning your detoxing, right. 302 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 4: I think animal studies always kind of solidify everything. So 303 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 4: there's one study where so methyl mercury is like highly toxic. 304 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: If we take it, we're in big trouble. 305 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 4: Budies have separated rats into like healthy microbiome and damaged microbiome, 306 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 4: and they damage the micro biome by giving them lots 307 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 4: of antibiotics. And the rats that have the healthy microboonds 308 00:14:32,880 --> 00:14:34,920 Speaker 4: and the damage microums, they all get the same amount 309 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 4: of methyl mercury. And the difference between how sick and 310 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 4: how many of these rats die is so significant. Basically, 311 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 4: almost all the rats who have the damaged microbiome, they 312 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 4: don't survive the exposure to the toxin. But when you've 313 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 4: got a healthy microbiome, your body is able to kind 314 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: of neutralize the toxins and eliminate them from the body. 315 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 4: So it's the same as you know, if you've got dyspiosis, 316 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 4: you're exposed to toxins. We have hormonal fluctuations every month. 317 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 4: Have you heard of estrogen dominance or like at times 318 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 4: you can have too many male hormones, you can have 319 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: too much estrogen and when your body, can't safely remove 320 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 4: it from your gut, can't safely remove it from your body, 321 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 4: Then it recirculates and that's when we can get breakouts. 322 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 2: As we mentioned, gut health has been a huge trending 323 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 2: topic in recent years. Is there a gut health myth 324 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 2: that you say and on TikTok or online that drives 325 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: you insane? 326 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: I think there's a theme to some of them, right. 327 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: I think we all want a quick fix. 328 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: Right, So you have an issue, You're like, oh, I 329 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: can take this thing and it tells me it's gonna 330 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 4: make me better. But the way I see it is, 331 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: it's not that they're bad, it's just I think we 332 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: have to make a distinction between what's short term fix 333 00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 4: and what's the long term fix. Right, So bloating, for example, 334 00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: I think there's something called a gut shower and that 335 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 4: have you heard of that? 336 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: Is it the drink? 337 00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's I think it's not terrible. It's still 338 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 4: whole food. But I think essentially it's chia seeds in water. 339 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, Okay, that's terrible. 340 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 4: Because chia seeds contain kind of fiber, which means it'll 341 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 4: be cleansing. So those ones I don't think they're a 342 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 4: huge problem. I think some of the issue might be 343 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 4: spending a lot of money. You don't need to spend 344 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 4: on something that promises you to have a more diverse 345 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: microbiome when actually they're not practitioner grade supplements like probiotics, 346 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: for example, we don't really know how they're stored. We 347 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: don't really know the concentration. Some probotics that have been 348 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: tested and they are pulled, they have more bad bacteria 349 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: than good bacteria. 350 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 5: So maybe trusted therapeutic. 351 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: Grade probotics are the way to guard. So it can 352 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 4: be really inspiring to see anything on social media, right, 353 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 4: but I think it's just maybe checking with someone on 354 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 4: the concentrations and how it's stored. 355 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: Is there certain strains of probiotic that are better than others. 356 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: Even good bacteria can be bad bacteria if it's too much. 357 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 4: So really the key is diversity and balance. I often 358 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 4: recommend that people, if they're going to take probotics, rotate 359 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 4: their probiotics, so you know, two weeks with one probiotic 360 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 4: and then rotate again to another, maybe rotating three and 361 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 4: then coming back to the first one after that, so 362 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 4: we're really getting as much diversity as possible, because that's 363 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 4: where your resilience is is not necessarily just a whole 364 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 4: bunch of one bacteria, and it's more about diversifying. 365 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 2: Is there a particular time that we should be eating 366 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 2: dinner to promote good gut health? 367 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 4: Generally, in terms of timings for the evening meal, it's 368 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 4: great to eat while the sun is still up, so 369 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 4: it could be a little later in summer, a little 370 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 4: earlier in the wintertime, but ideally two to three hours 371 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 4: before you go to bed. 372 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: Okay, I feel that that's good. 373 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was wondering, I was like, is it 374 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 2: to do with the sun or is it to do 375 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: minutes when you fall asleep? 376 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 4: And your body got a little bit of both, right, 377 00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 4: so you might go to bed a little later in 378 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,720 Speaker 4: the summertime. Choos is natural to respond to the fun. 379 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: Okay, interesting? 380 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,840 Speaker 3: And do you know what whenever I've like worked late 381 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 3: or something's happened and I'm eating dinner at like eight thirty. 382 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 5: One, feel shit. 383 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 3: When I'm eating the dinner, I'm like, I'm so tired, 384 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 3: Like this just doesn't even this doesn't even hit, this 385 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: isn't even fun. And then I always feel like the 386 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 3: sleep that. 387 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: Night is so mid because it's like you feel not 388 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 2: as rested, but is busy digestive. 389 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, right, is that why it's better to eat two 390 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 3: to three hours before. 391 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 4: It's like the ideals structures. You have something to eat 392 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 4: before the sun goes down, and a little later because 393 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:26,439 Speaker 4: you've eaten well during the day, and then you go 394 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 4: for a walk because that just helps your whole body regulate. 395 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 4: Do whatever you want, and then go to badge. 396 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: Yeah okay, And what are some foods you wish more 397 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: women would incorporate into their diet to improve their gut. 398 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 4: Held So really we're looking I think, as a rule 399 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 4: of thumb, thirty different plant foods. Basically, you're feeding your gut, right, 400 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 4: You're not really only feeding yourself, you're feeding your gut bacteria. 401 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: So the more variety of plants you can have, the 402 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 4: more variety of bacteria you. 403 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 1: Have in your gut. 404 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 2: Ah. 405 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 4: And then if you add in fermented vegetables, then you're 406 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 4: getting lots of probatic bacteria. We talk about probatic supplements. 407 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,719 Speaker 4: There's bacteria in ferments like sauer kraut and kimchi and 408 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 4: yogurt that we don't even have names for in science yet. Wow, 409 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:12,440 Speaker 4: so it's great to have it in food form. 410 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: What about fiber. 411 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 3: Fiber is really important, right, Yeah, So. 412 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: The more variety of plants that you have, the more 413 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 4: different kinds of fibers. There is soluble fiber, insoluble fiber. 414 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,399 Speaker 4: We want a combination of everything. But on the topic 415 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 4: of fiber, it's like we were saying before, it's not 416 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 4: one solution for everyone. If someone is feeling bloated and 417 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,360 Speaker 4: it is a red flag, I would caution to have 418 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 4: fiber in the form of food rather than supplements, because 419 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 4: if you're having that, you know that chia seeded drink 420 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 4: we're talking about, or cilium husk is a really big 421 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 4: digestive cleansor you can actually cause a lot of stress 422 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: for your gut because it can't deal with it, and 423 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 4: then it can block someone okay and make things worse. 424 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 3: So prioritizing food that's high in fiber rather than supplements supplements. 425 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel like that's like. 426 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 5: Pretty much the general of thumb though, isn't it. 427 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 4: Even the foregmn mother nature and tandacy exactly If it 428 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 4: looks like it grew on the tree, then that's a 429 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 4: great start. 430 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:09,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 431 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 3: We were talking about this on the podcast a couple 432 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 3: of weeks ago, and it was like things that we've 433 00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 3: stopped buying, and one of mine was supplements that I 434 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 3: think are just like a magic pill that it's like, oh, 435 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 3: I need fiber, or I need like more vitamin C 436 00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 3: lah blah blah blah forh these magic things that it's 437 00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 3: going to be, and it's like, no, I really kind 438 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 3: of just need to eat the fruit and the vegetable. 439 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,400 Speaker 4: I love that because if you like that, you think, okay, 440 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 4: I need fiber. And of course, like we love the 441 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 4: idea that it's all packaged nicely and it promises that 442 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 4: it's going to be fiber, but then just have like 443 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 4: what does that have in it? If it has something 444 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 4: like let's say apple pactern, then have an apple. 445 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you don't need a vitamin, you just need 446 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 3: to eat an apple. How many times does a healthy 447 00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 3: gut poop per day? 448 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 4: Okay, there are so many guidelines, they're wildly different. Regularly 449 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 4: you want to be cleansing, so really ideally it would 450 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 4: be every day. What would be too much? Yeah, I 451 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 4: don't think you should be alarmed if if someone is 452 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 4: going up to three to four times a day, that 453 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 4: might just be how their gut is. But at the 454 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 4: same time, I think we don't want to let it 455 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 4: go more than two to three days. Personally, I would 456 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 4: say it really should be every day, but there's a little. 457 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 5: Ask people not poop drunk people don't. 458 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, some people it'll be like once a week 459 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:38,000 Speaker 4: or what Yeah yeah, yeah. 460 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 5: That is horrible those poor people. 461 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 3: I know, there is nothing more satisfying than a good exit. 462 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, yeah, every day, I guess probably 463 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 2: as well, even more than maybe how many times. All 464 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,199 Speaker 2: the regularity, it would be like the consistency and what 465 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:59,199 Speaker 2: it's like right, Like it would be getting into but 466 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 2: I guess it would be like what is it regularly 467 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 2: like for you? 468 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 5: Like do you usually go every day? 469 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: And then you. 470 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 2: Found all of a sudden it is like every two 471 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 2: days everything Like it's yeah, like monitoring And it's a 472 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 2: great question. 473 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: Isn't it. 474 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 4: Like what does it look like? Because ideally you want 475 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 4: it to look like a smile. Think of a smile, 476 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 4: so it's flexible enough and it's not lumpy, and it's 477 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 4: not unformed so it could actually form a smile. 478 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, I love this. 479 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 3: I love this. 480 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: It's good. 481 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 5: It's important. Information, but we don't talk about I think 482 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:32,919 Speaker 5: it's good to know. 483 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 1: Yeah it is. 484 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 4: No, it's a good question because also when we talked 485 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 4: about red flags, one that we didn't talk about is 486 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: that just because you're going every day doesn't even mean 487 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 4: that you're not. It's called impacted or feically loaded or 488 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 4: constipated or backed up, whatever word you want to use, 489 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 4: because some people will have uh dehydrated like a stool 490 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 4: stuck within their gut walls, and that isn't necessarily coming out, 491 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 4: but they're still able to go. And that's when you 492 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 4: see a lot of inconsistency. 493 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 3: Oh okay, that's interesting, not a great image, but no. 494 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 4: Good Ready, just because you're going every day doesn't mean 495 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 4: that you're not backed up or feeqally loaded. 496 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 3: Okay, Well, to wrap up, we ask our guests the 497 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: same question always, what is your biggest life lesson on 498 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,520 Speaker 3: your gut health and professional journey so far? 499 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 4: Well, you can see how as we were talking, I 500 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 4: was sometimes raining myself in because we can go into 501 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 4: so much detail, and actually, a digestive healing program can 502 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 4: even include avoiding toxins right to the point of not 503 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: necessarily going in a swimming pool. If it's chlorinated, or 504 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 4: going into shopping centers because of all the synthetic fragrances. 505 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: So having done a lot of reading and studying, I 506 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 4: think a lot of health practitioners can relate to. You 507 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: can go to a place where you almost know too 508 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 4: much and you restrict yourself too much. But my big 509 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 4: lesson is to go there so that you know how 510 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 4: it feels and then really just remember, Like what we 511 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 4: were just saying is but why are we alive to enjoy? 512 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 2: Right? 513 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 4: Why do we eat to enjoy and be healthy?
