0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:43.679
<v Speaker 1>to I Choose Me. My guest this week, Doctor Amyshaw

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:48.360
<v Speaker 1>reminds us that no matter where you are on the

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>hormonal continuum, there are small shifts, or, as I like

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:58.040
<v Speaker 1>to say, choices you can start making today that will

0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>support your gut health, strengthen your mind gut hormone connections,

0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and even help increase longevity. There's just so much to

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 1>learn from doctor Amy, and her new book, Hormone Havoc

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>really covers it all, so I asked her to break

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>it all down for us. You talk about getting rid

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>of ultra processed foods as the first step. What are

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:26.280
<v Speaker 1>examples the process?

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 2>Chips and cookies.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:28.920
<v Speaker 1>And in the bag?

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>Right, Yeah, but not just anything in the bad.

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 3>It's anything that you could not recreate in your kitchen.

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 3>So if it was just potatoes and salt, you could

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 3>recreate that.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 2>But if it's like.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 3>A complicated twenty ingredient thing that doesn't even have food

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.639
<v Speaker 3>in it, you could not recreate that in your kitchen.

0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:48.239
<v Speaker 2>And there's a lot of things like that.

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.079
<v Speaker 1>It's so many things. You look at the ingredient list

0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, why are there so many ingredients? I

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>know it no idea what these are.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 3>That's right, it should just be the three things that

0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 3>you would need to.

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 2>Make that food. And if that's the case, that's what

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 2>you want to stick to.

0:03:01.520 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>So small ingredients tested on the outside of packaging is

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 1>very very important. Love that you say, we can support

0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 1>estrogen levels with a sniff. So talk to me about

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>the benefits of essential oils because I love essential oils.

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 3>I am such a fan of essential oils too. But

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:25.560
<v Speaker 3>there's actually really good data that there's certain you know

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 3>and you can there's a whole list. There's many, many, many,

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>many essential oils that can actually support form one levels

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 3>and bring down cortisol and improve mood. And it's like,

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 3>what tell us like a cop okay like peppermint, for example,

0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 3>is a great way to improve mood and stop cravings

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:48.280
<v Speaker 3>neurolis in there.

0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 2>What's your favorite?

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I love Nearola. You just had that. I know that

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:55.560
<v Speaker 1>clar stage is really good for our horns.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Claire stage is one of the best ones.

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>That one doesn't smell that great to know it's not

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.440
<v Speaker 1>as it's pretty strong. Yes, so I mix it with others.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 3>I like peppermint because I feel like peppermint is one

0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.760
<v Speaker 3>that you could have after a meal or small after

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 3>a meal and then just feel satisfied and not need

0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 3>that sweet treat.

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and it kind of wakes you up too, Yeah,

0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.800
<v Speaker 1>it wakes you up. I love essential oils too. It's

0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:18.800
<v Speaker 1>so funny because they come and they go in the

0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>news rotation of their importance, you know. Yeah, I think

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>it's true waiting for you.

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I think it's like not as sexy as like, you.

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Know, a new medication or whatever, or a new skin cream.

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yes, yes, yes, exactly.

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Okay, getting irritable seems easier these days. Fun being honest,

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.600
<v Speaker 1>are their foods we should keep on hand to help

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>with this disruptive symptom.

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:52.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So one of my favorite foods, honestly hacks is blueberries.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.159
<v Speaker 2>Blueberries not only.

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.679
<v Speaker 3>Have fiber, but they have these dark blue compounds called polyphenols,

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:03.120
<v Speaker 3>and they have been own and studies blueberries to actually

0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 3>boost your mood and brain function within hours of eating that. So,

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 3>like if you had a big meeting or test or

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.839
<v Speaker 3>like you just want to boost your brain and mood

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:15.240
<v Speaker 3>that day, you can have a couple of blueberries and

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 3>study show that you will feel that boost.

0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.760
<v Speaker 1>That's incredible, And frozen blueberries count too.

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:24.679
<v Speaker 3>Frozen blueberries count sometimes even better, right, because they're frozen

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 3>at the peak of freshness. It's like when you do

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 3>egg freezing at the peak of.

0:05:29.520 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Freshness, only the good ones. Yeah.

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so then you.

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 3>End up having really full of polyphenols blueberries.

0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I love that. I'm going to have a blueberry filled

0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:42.880
<v Speaker 1>smoothie at some point and that'll be my I choose

0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the moment today. Yes, Okay, so you talk about resetting

0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>your gut in just three days. I am seriously going

0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to do this because things have not been the same

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:58.799
<v Speaker 1>for me since Thanksgiving. Just my intake is off and yeah,

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.440
<v Speaker 1>my moods are swing in. Everything is different. So give

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>me how do I do this in three days?

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:05.640
<v Speaker 2>What about? Okay?

0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 3>So, long story short, you have to really change your

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 3>diet and lifestyle for three days to see a difference.

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.400
<v Speaker 3>So the cobody that showed it was like a ultra

0:06:17.520 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 3>process full, sugar full, you know, diet and then changing

0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:26.599
<v Speaker 3>it to a whole foods lots of fruits, and vegetables.

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 3>So my thirty thirty three, if you did that for

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.919
<v Speaker 3>three days, you would start to feel better. Thirty grams

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>of protein in the morning, thirty grams of fiber throughout

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 3>the day, and three servings of probiotic foods every single day.

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I've been preaching this since I read the book

0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>two days ago, to everybody exceed thirty thirty three. Yes,

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.440
<v Speaker 1>and you recommend getting those thirty grams of protein right

0:06:49.480 --> 0:06:53.119
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of the day, which is not that hard. Yes,

0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:55.160
<v Speaker 1>I think that's really hard.

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 3>I think it's like the easiest one actually, out of

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the three because per stent of people are not getting

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:04.320
<v Speaker 3>in a fiber or probiotics. But I think people are

0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:06.680
<v Speaker 3>starting to learn the importance of protein. And if you

0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 3>thropload your protein, your day is going to be so

0:07:09.840 --> 0:07:11.600
<v Speaker 3>much better. You're gonna have less cravings, you're gonna have

0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.800
<v Speaker 3>better mood, you're gonna have more energy, and you're more

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:17.800
<v Speaker 3>likely to get to your total protein goals. So that

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.880
<v Speaker 3>looks like, you know, an egg scramble with veggies and

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 3>then maybe some cottage cheese or yogurt on the side

0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>to add to that protein load. But because if you

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.240
<v Speaker 3>did all just eggs. You could use egg whites and

0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:35.040
<v Speaker 3>have a nice big scramble, but you'd need like five.

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>What about tofu tofu scramble about.

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:41.440
<v Speaker 2>That tofu scramble, love that tofu scramble.

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 3>With veggies to bump up the fiber and have that

0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:51.280
<v Speaker 3>in the morning. Or you know, you could do a

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:56.560
<v Speaker 3>Greek yogurt perthae or a non dairy yogurt perfe. You

0:07:56.560 --> 0:08:01.320
<v Speaker 3>could do a protein powder mixed into your yogurt or.

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.000
<v Speaker 2>Milk or whatever you want to have a smoothie. You can.

0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 3>Definitely there's so many ways to get that protein in

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 3>the morning. It doesn't have to be any one particular food,

0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.920
<v Speaker 3>but getting it in the beginning of the day is

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 3>really really important.

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. I think it's so interesting how we've learned the numbers.

0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:25.760
<v Speaker 1>You know how before it was just like eat more fiber,

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 1>get more protein, But now we're getting more scientific about

0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:31.920
<v Speaker 1>it and saying you start with thirty grams start your day.

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:34.400
<v Speaker 1>And I do that front loading of the protein because

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I feel like, oh my gosh, I'm like halfway to

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>my full goal for the day. This is just one

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>meal that I've had.

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>So do you love tofu?

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 1>You meant I love tofu. Yeah, I don't eat dairy

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:51.040
<v Speaker 1>or anything.

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so difficult.

0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 3>The nice thing about tofu especially is that it has

0:08:56.080 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 3>fido estrogens, which by the way, is not dangerous for

0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 3>people who are like one during.

0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.920
<v Speaker 2>Like oh my god, that has estrogen.

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Everybody's especially my husband, is like, I can't eat too

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>much tofu. I'm gonna get man boobs.

0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:12.800
<v Speaker 3>No, that's phido estrogen's work differently than actual estrogen, but

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.720
<v Speaker 3>they do support estrogen for people who are going.

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:21.880
<v Speaker 2>Through that phase where they're either low or no estrogen.

0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 3>You really do get a boost because it has estrogen

0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.640
<v Speaker 3>like activity. But it doesn't, you know, increase your cancer

0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 3>risk or make you man boobs or all that stuff.

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 2>But it is good. It's actually superfood.

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>And during this time, oh well, I'm good then I

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>eat yeah, pretty much every single day.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:38.920
<v Speaker 2>And if you do.

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Honestly, the worry was in me like, oh am I

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>eating too much soy or you know, but I'm so

0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.280
<v Speaker 1>happy to hear you say that. I'm not.

0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 3>If you do a tofu and black bean scramble, you

0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 3>get thirty grams so easily because the black beans are

0:09:52.640 --> 0:09:55.760
<v Speaker 3>like so full of protein too, and both of them have.

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 3>Black beans are a super big source of good fiber

0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:02.119
<v Speaker 3>as well, so it's a really great combination.

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>Chop up some broccoli in there.

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there you go.

0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:06.199
<v Speaker 1>You're making me so hungry.

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.240
<v Speaker 2>I know, I was thinking the same thing.

0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Wait, that reminds me of the meno belly. Yes, you

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:14.040
<v Speaker 1>know that all of a sudden pooch that just comes

0:10:14.080 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>out of nowhere. It is how do we get rid

0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of that?

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:21.280
<v Speaker 3>So I think when I was in medical school and training,

0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:23.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it was kind of a myth, like, oh,

0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 3>there's this thing like meno belly. But it's literally a

0:10:27.280 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 3>fact that people get a change in their fat distribution

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 3>during perimenopause, and like I think it's like over eighty

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.680
<v Speaker 3>five percent of people have this notice this change, and

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 3>so it's not something that is that's like one of

0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 3>the most troublesome symptoms. I think that happens. And again,

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.680
<v Speaker 3>it's if you increase your protein and your fiber and

0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:57.280
<v Speaker 3>your probiotic foods, and you increase the amount that you're walking.

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.679
<v Speaker 3>I don't necessarily think that it has to be a

0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 3>high intensity workout.

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Every day, like we are told in society.

0:11:03.640 --> 0:11:07.040
<v Speaker 3>I think just moving your body more, getting enough sleep,

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:12.719
<v Speaker 3>and eating for your gut and hormones can really help reverse.

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Some of these so so good, these are all perfect easy,

0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:18.840
<v Speaker 1>little I choose me moments that we can do. I mean, yeah,

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.120
<v Speaker 1>going to the gym and working out for two hours

0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:24.559
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit like too much, yeah, for a

0:11:24.640 --> 0:11:27.280
<v Speaker 1>lot of us to incorporate into our busy schedules in

0:11:27.320 --> 0:11:29.520
<v Speaker 1>our days. And also we're tired, we don't want to

0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 1>go work out, I know, just move and walk and

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 1>eat well and get your sleep, the three like most

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:36.319
<v Speaker 1>important things.

0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that's that's absolutely right.

0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:41.360
<v Speaker 3>And I think in fact, we're often killing ourselves. Like

0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 3>my old me self was going to these high intensity

0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 3>workouts but never recovering and never sleeping enough and never

0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.000
<v Speaker 3>kicking a day off, and I was actually worsening that

0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:55.360
<v Speaker 3>whole situation where my cortosol was sky high, and then

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.400
<v Speaker 3>I was, you know, gaining fat in all the wrong places.

0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:01.679
<v Speaker 3>And I think that lots of women don't understand that

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.880
<v Speaker 3>you need to give yourself permission to recover and maybe

0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 3>do some low intensity activities in there.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:11.839
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yes, okay, wait, I have to go back to

0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>the prebiotic thing, freed pro whatever it is. Apple cider vinegar.

0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I could probably handle that. What do you think is

0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.480
<v Speaker 1>the best way to disguise getting what is it? Two

0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:22.959
<v Speaker 1>ta spoons three teaspoons in?

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so raw apple sider vinegar acts like a probiotic

0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 3>in our body, you know, with the mother, the ont

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 3>the skobe sitting in.

0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.400
<v Speaker 1>There, the same thing from weird Like.

0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.599
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's like a light life. It's bacteria.

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 3>And so if you add that to a big glass

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:40.800
<v Speaker 3>of water, you won even taste it.

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>If you add it to your.

0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:47.080
<v Speaker 3>Dressing, salad dress, okay, you probably like you can really

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:48.400
<v Speaker 3>mask it very well.

0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>It works really well that way.

0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:56.040
<v Speaker 3>And if you add like a little spoon into something

0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 3>you're making all like a smoothie or something not hot,

0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 3>it's another. But I think adding it to a glass

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:04.760
<v Speaker 3>of water, a lot of people find that's super super

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 3>easy because it doesn't barely like when you add it

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:10.440
<v Speaker 3>to enough water really takes away the taste completely.

0:13:10.679 --> 0:13:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I'm gonna try it because I need that. I

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>need those because I'm not gonna eat sauerkraut. I'm not

0:13:15.320 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it.

0:13:16.200 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 4>No, but there are there are you know what what

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.920
<v Speaker 4>I realized is there's a lot of things out there

0:13:23.120 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 4>like NATO, and there's a lot of things out there

0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:30.320
<v Speaker 4>that we don't even think about when we're not thinking

0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 4>about probiotics.

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 3>But if you go to your local health withthtore now

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 3>there's an entire section and you should pick and choose

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:40.600
<v Speaker 3>something that you might want to try. That's exactly how

0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:43.120
<v Speaker 3>I found a couple of things that I actually enjoy.

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 3>And it's just something like you know, you can just

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:51.360
<v Speaker 3>have when like a coconut cult yogurt for a dairy

0:13:51.360 --> 0:13:54.680
<v Speaker 3>free person might be a good option. There's lots of

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.920
<v Speaker 3>new options out there, products out there.

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:58.880
<v Speaker 1>I think it's important to read the label and just

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>look for pre biotic probiotics and anytime it says that,

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:03.440
<v Speaker 1>just get it in.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 3>So the nice thing is in the US, if something

0:14:08.320 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 3>has bacteria, it has to be labeled that has bacteria,

0:14:11.920 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 3>and so it's pretty easy to know.

0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's good. It's good that that happened relatively recently.

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 1>That better labeling on the food.

0:14:20.320 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and then the other good news.

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.320
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you love sourdough, but killed bacteria

0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 3>in sourdough it's called post biotics, meaning that they're not

0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.280
<v Speaker 3>live anymore, and most of them are dead because they

0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:38.600
<v Speaker 3>hated it. But they still work really well like our

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:43.400
<v Speaker 3>gut bacteria apparently really thrive when even if they get

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 3>post biotics.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:48.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's good to know. Yeah, carbs, we love them, Yes,

0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we hate them. They don't. They don't love us back.

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:55.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, we know that a diet heavy in carbs

0:14:55.480 --> 0:15:01.320
<v Speaker 1>can cause unwanted weight gain and that blowdy feet. They

0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:05.080
<v Speaker 1>also spike your blood sugar, which is not good internally.

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So give us the genius start check.

0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:13.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, okay, so all of us love pasta and bread

0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.280
<v Speaker 3>and rice and potatoes. I don't think there's anybody out

0:15:16.320 --> 0:15:18.200
<v Speaker 3>there that I know that doesn't like one of those

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 3>or all of those, right, Yeah, and so once in

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 3>a while you might want to have a nice bowl

0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 3>of pasta.

0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.440
<v Speaker 2>And so the hack is that if you put pasta in.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:32.160
<v Speaker 3>The refrigerator overnight, after it's cooked or half cooked, it

0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.840
<v Speaker 3>actually changes its structure. So some of the starch changes

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:41.120
<v Speaker 3>and becomes resistant starch. Resistance starch just means like it

0:15:41.320 --> 0:15:45.600
<v Speaker 3>actually acts like fiber to our body and feeds.

0:15:45.200 --> 0:15:46.560
<v Speaker 2>The good gut bacteria.

0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:49.480
<v Speaker 3>So you took something that was super high and starch,

0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 3>and you change some of that starch into something really

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:54.640
<v Speaker 3>good for our gut, and so it is real and

0:15:54.680 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 3>you can heat it up. So after you put in

0:15:56.360 --> 0:15:58.800
<v Speaker 3>the fridge overnight, Okay, heat it up just like you would,

0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 3>so it's kind of like enjoy them as leftovers and

0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 3>they're healthier for you. That doesn't mean it becomes zero

0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 3>calories or zero blood sugar impact. That really does change

0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 3>it for those times you're creating it.

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:15.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a great hack. Yeah, but I have to ask

0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>you this because I do that. I'll make rice like

0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.360
<v Speaker 1>kind of for the week or for the last few

0:16:19.440 --> 0:16:21.960
<v Speaker 1>days and just keep it on hand. But I saw

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>something on I don't know TikTok Instagram, one of them

0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 1>that said if we store our rice over twenty four hours,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.480
<v Speaker 1>then we are eating mold.

0:16:32.600 --> 0:16:35.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so there's rice is something that you have to

0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:38.320
<v Speaker 3>really be careful with in terms of like you want

0:16:38.400 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 3>to refrigerate it right after it's cool down. So say

0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.680
<v Speaker 3>you cook it, you don't want to let us sit

0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 3>out on your countertop for hours.

0:16:47.800 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Before you put in the fridge, because.

0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:52.040
<v Speaker 3>There is not that it'll happen every time, but there's

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:54.680
<v Speaker 3>a higher chance that it could be growing a bacteria

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:57.960
<v Speaker 3>and that bacteria does not die when you put in

0:16:58.000 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 3>the fridge or boocket.

0:16:59.160 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's not the bastia we want.

0:17:01.040 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's not the bacteria we want. So you you

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:07.080
<v Speaker 3>can store your rice, no problem, but you want to

0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.640
<v Speaker 3>be cooking it and as soon as it's cool down

0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.199
<v Speaker 3>you want to put it away. You don't want to

0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.679
<v Speaker 3>have it sitting on the counter for five, six, seven hours.

0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:16.680
<v Speaker 1>How many days can I cop it in?

0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:19.239
<v Speaker 3>Once you do it, once you cook it, and you

0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:20.800
<v Speaker 3>put in the fridge, you can have it for three,

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.760
<v Speaker 3>three to four days, not more than that.

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Yeah, Because I was like loving this idea of

0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.400
<v Speaker 1>this hack and then somebody totally ruined it for me. Yeah,

0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like that's what that's with all the messaging, it's like, yes,

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:37.200
<v Speaker 1>I know, do that, No, don't.

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 3>Do There was a serious it's actually the bacteria is

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:44.960
<v Speaker 3>called be serious, and there was a serious case of

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:50.119
<v Speaker 3>a college student having you know, fried rice that was

0:17:50.160 --> 0:17:53.440
<v Speaker 3>just sitting out out on the counter and they got

0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.640
<v Speaker 3>extremely sick. You know, it can be very very toxic,

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 3>but that's because they left it out, I think, overnight

0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:01.600
<v Speaker 3>on their counter.

0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh, so much good information all packed into

0:18:06.119 --> 0:18:09.760
<v Speaker 1>this incredible book. People really should start with some of

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:13.760
<v Speaker 1>these easy first steps, and you really must read Hormone

0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Havoc by the beautiful doctor Amy Shaw.

0:18:17.480 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, thanks so much for having me. This is

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>so fun.

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.000
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for being here. I've learned a lot.

0:18:22.520 --> 0:18:23.000
<v Speaker 2>Awesome.

0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Okay, b well, thank you
