42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: to have you too. I think this conversation is a needed,

43
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 3: once much needed one, and so we're going to dive

44
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: into the quote of the day. Our quote of the

45
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 3: day is from an anonymous source. It says, the road

46
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: to gut health is paved with good intestines. I'm gonna

47
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: read that one more time because it sounds similar to

48
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 3: another everyday quote that people use. The road to gut

49
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: health is paved with good intestines. Lauren. When you hear

50
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,399
Speaker 3: this quote and considering all of the work that you do,

51
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 3: what comes up for you, what does this quote mean

52
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 3: to you?

53
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: It's actually right, Like you know, the root of your

54
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: gut is based on your intestine lining right, And it's

55
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: like if we gather that understanding and understand like the

56
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: root cause of so many issues that we have, like

57
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 2: are literally our bodies.

58
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 4: Functions starting a gut.

59
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: I like to always our gut is our body's ecosystem, so,

60
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: you know, I like to break things down so simplicit

61
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: where it doesn't get so confused and you feel like

62
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: you had to have a master's degree in anatomy, you know,

63
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: or anything to kind of understand that. So my base

64
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: is like, you know, if we were to focus on

65
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: our gut like a garden, right, and if we don't

66
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: have good soil and we got weeds in our garden,

67
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: there's going to be a problem. So most of the

68
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: time when I'm explaining to my clients, they gather that

69
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 2: and it clicks for them more than just like the

70
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: gas yourne testinal ligning and you know, all of the

71
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 2: medical jargon in terms that sometimes they get it and

72
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 2: you nod your head, but then in your day to

73
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: day life you still don't function with it.

74
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 4: So it's a very true fact.

75
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: And you know, as simple as I like to put

76
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: it is, it's literally your gut ecosystem, your body's ecosystem,

77
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: which is your gut.

78
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 4: Wonderful.

79
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: We love simplistic here, So thank you. Feel free to

80
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: break it all the way down to the ground for us. Okay,

81
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: because I know this is another topic. This is a

82
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: topic that my is interested into, don So I'm with

83
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 1: you there. Now when it comes to your origin story,

84
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:06,360
Speaker 1: can you tell us a bit about your origin story

85
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,559
Speaker 1: and also what prompted you to dive into the world

86
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: of holistic health and fitness.

87
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, really good question.

88
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 2: So I have always been in the health field. When

89
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: I was in high school. I went to a vocational

90
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,720
Speaker 2: high school and I was in nursing. So I've been

91
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: learning about the body for over twenty two years. So

92
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: I've just always wanted to help people as a whole.

93
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: So it was always like, you know, I was like,

94
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 2: I'm going I wanted to be a doctor, but I

95
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: did not want to go to school that long, so

96
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: let me just say that. So I was like, okay,

97
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 2: let's get into nursing. It was something I was looking into.

98
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: But I started to shift and get more into the

99
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: holistic realm because before I always was studying more of

100
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: like the caring after you don't feel well, you know,

101
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: like the after the effect, not the preventative effect. Even

102
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: through throughout high school and college I worked as a

103
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: pharmacy tech. These are all things after you've diagnosed, after

104
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: there's pain, after there needs to be caring and you're

105
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 2: sick or whatever. And for me, I started to get

106
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 2: more into it because I unfortunately lost a very near

107
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 2: dear brother, My god brother had passed away and was

108
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: like thirty six, and seeing those tubes down his you know, nose,

109
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: and seeing like lost at younger ages of people around me,

110
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: it started to make me want to dig a little deeper.

111
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: Of like what are other issues?

112
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: And I in that time I started to have a

113
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: climb in my own health issues without knowing it yet.

114
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: And like I said, I studied nursing the whole time.

115
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: So that quote that you said, doctor dom, I might

116
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: have heard that all through school. I still didn't get

117
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 2: it right. So when I started to get into the

118
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: realm of thinking.

119
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 4: A little deeper of like what how could we have prevented.

120
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: This issue, you know where he didn't have to pass

121
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 2: at thirty six? What's the deeper problems? What is the issues?

122
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 2: And I did start learning about like the food you're

123
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: eating and you need to.

124
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: Take care of your body.

125
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: So I was always interested in making some changes and

126
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,840
Speaker 2: like oh, we need to work out and stuff. I

127
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: didn't start actually implementing it in my personal life. I

128
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: was enlisting into the Navy back in two thousand and nine.

129
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: I went to college, got all the good grades, you know,

130
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 2: graduated MAGNCU Lottie, and you know here in New York City,

131
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 2: can't even pay my bills or the job that I got,

132
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: you know, and I kind of hit like an early

133
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 2: mid life crisis. At like twenty three, and I was

134
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: just like, okay, I'm going to My brother suggested. He

135
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 2: was like, you should go into the military. And I did,

136
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 2: just to get my student loans paid for long story show,

137
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: I got kicked out, so I was back to the

138
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 2: I had an injury. I burnt my knee leg from

139
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 2: a third degree burn cooking.

140
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 4: I could cook, y'all.

141
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm just saying the pot slipped. But and I pretty

142
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: much like had to get back to the drawing board.

143
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: Like here I am again working, not making even thirty

144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 2: thousand dollars living in New York City. After I graduated

145
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 2: with a bachelor's and I remember a mentor told me,

146
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: find something you love to do that you'll do for

147
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 2: free and get paid to do it. And I always

148
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: was like, this is because of the research I started doing,

149
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: learning about health and making some changes and you know,

150
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: trying to do that in my life. And because I

151
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: had to start working out for the military, right I

152
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: was going to the gym, and I started seeing the

153
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: changes and stuff in my body. So I end up

154
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: one of my good girlfriends was like, I know you're

155
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 2: not a trainer, but you know about the body, Like

156
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 2: you know, I'm going through a lot. You know I

157
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: can't pay you, but I'll pay for your membership. You

158
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 2: want to be a trainer, like you know you'd be

159
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 2: my trainer. And that's how guy always like sending some messages.

160
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 2: So I started getting into I took it really seriously.

161
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: I had a book and everything, record everything, and I

162
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: didn't realize I was like a trainer before I realized,

163
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 2: and people was calling me their trainer, going to the

164
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: gym with me. And then finally I decided to go

165
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: ahead and get certified X y Z. But then I

166
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 2: still realized I was building health and fitness on the

167
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,199
Speaker 2: front end, not the back end. As I was working

168
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 2: as a fitness trainer. I worked in the Times Square

169
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: fashion district area, running around. I used to have to

170
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: get up. I used to be at the gym at

171
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 2: like six six thirty in the morning. I wouldn't get

172
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 2: home till eleven o'clock at night. I'm on my feet

173
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 2: and I started having a lot of chronic pain. And

174
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 2: then I started realizing, like what's going on in my body?

175
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 4: Like I look good for the gram.

176
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 2: I got my two abs, y'all see my two abs,

177
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: but something else was happening. So now I'm like wanting

178
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: to know on a deeper level. And then I end up,

179
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: long story short, end up being diagnosed with two autoimmune

180
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 2: diseases and having leaky gut, and I end up having

181
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: thyroid dysfunction, a lot of health issue. So that's when

182
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: I started realizing that, Okay, it's a little deeper than

183
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 2: just you know, counter calories, eat a few things, go

184
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: to the gym. There could be some other things going on.

185
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: And then I started to really gather a big deeper understanding.

186
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 2: I started getting in to holistic because I never maybe

187
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,679
Speaker 2: because I worked in the pharmacy and I saw all

188
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 2: those meds. I'm not sure, but it just never felt

189
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 2: right in my spirit that I just take the medication

190
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 2: and let it go away.

191
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 4: So I always wanted to do the holistic route.

192
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: And I just started getting into herbs and you know,

193
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 2: just getting all the different modalities of health coaching certifications

194
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 2: and everything, and I finally started seeing a change in

195
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: my body. So that was like my route where I

196
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 2: like was on both spectrums professionally and like as a person,

197
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: I'm my client first, and yeah, that's a bit of

198
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 2: my story.

199
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 3: Lady. I don't know about you, but tapping into my

202
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 3: I carved out time to prioritize coloring and arts and

203

241
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: I'm just thinking about all that you went through, Lauren,

242
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: Like I think that's around the time that we met,

243
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: when you were at NYC at that time, because that's

244
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: when I lived there, and I'm just like, I didn't

245
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: even know you were going through all that, and that's

246
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: that sounds like, that sounds so discouraging when you go

247
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: from going to school, getting this degree, having high honors,

248
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: moving or living in NYC and you're trying to get

249
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 1: a job, you can't get a job, and then you

250
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 1: have these health concerns. So I think that's just inspiring

251
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 1: in general. So I just wanted to take a moment

252
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: to just celebrate you for pushing through that and for

253
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: doing the work, you know what I mean. So when

254
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: you think about that journey that you just shared with us,

255
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: I know there's probably more that you couldn't dive into.

256
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Why would you say that gut health is important to us?

257
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: Because I know for me, when I was like when

258
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,200
Speaker 1: we first met, that was the first time I really

259
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 1: heard about gut health in that way, and I was

260
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: kind of like, well, what is the gut? Like I

261
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't really have a good understanding, So can you kind

262
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,080
Speaker 1: of break that down to us or make it simplistic?

263
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 3: You know?

264
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 2: So, yeah, like when we think gut, we probably think

265
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: like belly fat gut, right, And I realized too, there's

266
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 2: not a lot of people who look like me, who

267
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 2: has my skin color and melanin that is actually educated

268
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: and explaining in our community. So I realized there is

269
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 2: a lack of knowledge when it comes to gut health.

270
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 2: Like you hear it and you're kind of like, okay,

271
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: but people are still kind of maybe having a mixed

272
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: conception of like gut health to lose belly fat, right,

273
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: they're kind of like still tinos too. So gut health

274
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: is basically to gather. First, is the state like the

275
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: physical state of your gastro interestinal track, you know, and

276
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: all of the organs that really implement your gastro in

277
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: testinal track, Like you know, your digestive system as a whole.

278
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 2: So like I said, it's your body's ecosystem, Like how

279
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 2: does everything function in that space when it comes to

280
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: your digestion, your gastrointestinal system, you know, And I literally

281
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 2: explain like when I do my workshops, when I share

282
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: it with my clients or I'm doing any clubhouse rooms, I.

283
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 4: Always explain your gut health.

284
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: Is the physical state, but understand that your digestion and

285
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 2: the state of the health of your gut health starts

286
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 2: from the tip of your tongue to your anus.

287
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: You know, so if you.

288
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 2: Have poor oral care, more than likely that is a

289
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 2: contributor where we have that gut health or some issues.

290
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: You know, you and the evidence of you kind of

291
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: understanding the state of your gut health. We flush it

292
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: down in a toilet every day. I hope you go

293
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 2: every day. But when we go number two, right, that's

294
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: evidence of your gut health.

295
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 4: Is it smooth? Is it breaking up? Is it watery?

296
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: Is is I really? Like you know, all those things. We

297
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 4: don't like to.

298
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 2: Talk about that because it's like, you know, people like

299
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: to hold on to oh my shit, don't stink if

300
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 2: it doss. We need to understand what is going on, right,

301
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 2: So we have to gather how all of these things

302
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 2: kind of play a role. And that's what gut health is.

303
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: It's like from the food you're eating, the way it's digesting,

304
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 2: to the care of your oral care, all the way

305
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 2: to the point of how it's being distributed out of

306
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: your body.

307
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: Oh that makes sense, and I think that's for Diamond's

308
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: gonna time in and then y'all can we circle back

309
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: and talk about poop, Like at some point in this conversation,

310
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: make sure we don't forget because I want to talk

311
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: about the poop with the smell like that.

312
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean I kind of feel like we should

313
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 3: talk about it now because like I felt called out

314
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 3: when you mentioned that. I was like, look as you

315
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 3: said that, I was like literally sitting there reflecting on

316
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 3: and this is probably TMI, but we're here, we're talking

317
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 3: about our gut health to this is we need the

318
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: information And I was literally sitting here reflecting on Okay, yeah,

319
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: what does my poop look like?

320
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Right?

321
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: Like am I going every day?

322
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: What does it look like?

323
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 3: And what does it mean? So can you break that

324
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 3: down for us, like how do we know like if

325
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 3: it's I remember watching I think it was over weight.

326
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 3: And what she said was like, ideally you want your

327
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 3: poop to be in an S shape, right like a snake,

328
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 3: and it's smooth and in like like I just remember thinking,

329
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 3: I don't want to see a snake in the toilet.

330
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 3: But it's smooth and it's not that's an indication that

331
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: the food that you're eating is right for you, that

332
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 3: you have good gut health. And so can you tell

333
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 3: us what our poop should look like ideally? And then

334
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: what the different versions of our poop.

335
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: Mean good question and like I said, we gotta we

336
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: got to talk about we got to talk about it.

337
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 3: Right.

338
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 2: So to answer your question, what should our poop look like?

339
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: Your stool should look like, like not an s shape

340
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: like I kind of was like my shape, but you know,

341
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 2: smooth like a snake, you know, like I always say

342
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: a smooth banana, right, And that probably gives you a

343
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: better feeling about like.

344
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 4: Because the snake is like I don't want a snake

345
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: come out of.

346
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: The you know, we don't want anything moving too, because

347
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 2: if we've got some movement slithery stuff going on, there

348
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: could be a parasite. Right, So I don't like to

349
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 2: use analogy as nake, but a smooth banana, right, so,

350
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,679
Speaker 2: or sausage or you know something like that.

351
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 4: You want it smooth with least cracks. Okay.

352
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: Now there's like a it's called a Bristol stool chart

353
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 2: Bristol Like you could look at that and that gives

354
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: you good understanding. So like there's different types of believe

355
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 2: there's like seven seven stool types in the Bristol chart, right,

356
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 2: and it will tell you like if it's like all

357
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: the way at the top, if that kind of gives

358
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 2: an indication of constipation. So if it's hard, hard to pass,

359
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 2: or you're having to grunt or you know, things like

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 2: that and it's not well put together, it could mean

361
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 2: that you're constipated. There's not some in some indications like

362
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 2: when we look at that, you know, maybe you're not

363
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 2: getting enough water.

364
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 4: Enough fruit, you know, things of that nature.

365
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: And then you know, if it starts to be like

366
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: lumpy clumpy together, like it'll start kind of working its

367
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: way down. So there's a spectrum of constipation and then

368
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: a spectrum down when it's like type seven of inflammation.

369
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,679
Speaker 2: And when it's inflammation going on in a gut, like

370
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: the more looser is, the more watery, then that is

371
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 2: an indication of some chronic issues leaky gut inflammation. It's

372
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 2: hard to say, like you know, and I want to

373
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: put a little disclaimer out here.

374
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 4: I'm speaking in general terms.

375
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm not Terry or doctor Dom's actual health coach, and

376
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 2: I'm also not a doctor. I am certified as a

377
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: holistic health coach, but I'm not a doctor. Okay, I

378
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,239
Speaker 2: just want to put that out there. So that's one

379
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,959
Speaker 2: of the things that we kind of have to understand.

380
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 2: But your stool can tell you a lot, Like the

381
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 2: lines in the cracks kind of give you the indication

382
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: of is it hydrated, are you getting enough fiber?

383
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 4: You know of that nature.

384
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: So I hope I kind of explained it and not

385
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: gross people out out here.

386
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: No, this is like you said when weed to talk

387
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: about this. This was so helpful. And I just looking

388
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: if y'all are watching this on Patreon, I'm looking up

389
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 1: at my monitor, Besse, I'm looking up the Bristol story.

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking at I'm like, oh, as you're explaining it,

391
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the pictures like definitely have some type

392
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: one when I was pregnant and dehydrated. So I'm just

393
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 1: looking through. It's really cool. So okay, let's just we're

394
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: going to take a little detour. When you talk about

395
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 1: I've heard someone say that you should go to the

396
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: bathroom number two after every meal. I definitely don't do that.

397
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: So when it comes to when we go to the

398
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: bathroom how often, what would you say, is like a

399
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: best practice? And then how can we improve that if

400
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 1: we if we do want to enhance our bio movements

401
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:45,359
Speaker 1: or whatever.

402
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: So the body is very complex, so a lot of

403
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: things can be happening. I'll share what's like the most common,

404
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 2: especially with women, when it could be hydration, not drinking

405
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,359
Speaker 2: enough water, busy on the go. The body's nervous system

406
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,239
Speaker 2: is like highly activated. You're you know, running around and

407
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: skipping meals. So then like we kind of think about

408
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: our body. I mean, the way the earth is in

409
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: our body, it runs in rhythms, right, circadian rhythms, right,

410
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 2: So just like how the sunrise and sunset, we have

411
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 2: that same type of bandwidth, Like you know with our bodies.

412
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 4: We have a rhythm with our bodies.

413
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 2: Right, So the more that we are connected to the

414
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 2: earth as a whole, this is why like grounding, if

415
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: y'all heard of that, like all those things are so important.

416
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,120
Speaker 4: We want to get into.

417
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: Rhythm with the earth, right, even like our cycles with

418
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 2: the moon, blah blah blah. Right, So that's one thing

419
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: is how often are you eating? Are you skipping meals?

420
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 2: Is your meals different every time? Are you stressed? Are

421
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: you running around or not? Are you not drinking enough water?

422
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: I've had clients where of course, now it goes into

423
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: the type of foods, what you're eating. Are you getting

424
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: into oils and the facts, But I've even had some

425
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 2: clients where we just made that tweak on getting the

426
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 2: routine down and finding ways to kind of dump like

427
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 2: stress off of their plate a bit, and like you know,

428
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 2: practicing good sleeping habits like getting off the phone, like

429
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 2: those kind of things, because that interrupts this arcadianism.

430
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 4: That interrupts your sympathetic nervous.

431
00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 2: System, right because also to the muscles to be able

432
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 2: to contract, to be able to you know, create bill

433
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: and get you the poop. If it's not working the

434
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 2: way it needs to, it's an issue going on. So,

435
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 2: like I said, if we think about it, let's like

436
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: act like we're in the poop business.

437
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 3: Right.

438
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 2: We got to distribute a product, right, we give it

439
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: some food. I mean just like okay, we're all like

440
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: we're business owners, right, we have a product, we want

441
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 2: to distribute it. We get our systems, shopify, blah blah blah.

442
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: We check to see if it works. What was the ads.

443
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 2: Working and did it distribute to a conversion of a

444
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 2: good selle was the people happy? It's like the same

445
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: way like, Okay, you gave it the food, you broke

446
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: it down, how did your body take it? And then

447
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 2: when it comes out if it's all broken up and loose,

448
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,199
Speaker 2: like then there was a problem in our system. So

449
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 2: that's like a good kind of concept. But then it's like, Okay,

450
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 2: I know that, how do I apply it? And the

451
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 2: best thing that I can say that pretty much fits

452
00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 2: everyone without even looking at charts and knowing what's going

453
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: on with your blood type et cetera, et cetera, is

454
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 2: are you hydrating enough? Do you feel like you're getting

455
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: good servey of fruits and vegetables, and you know, are

456
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: you eating the same time?

457
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 4: Like are you in rhythm every day?

458
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 3: I love this because what I appreciate is that I'm

459
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 3: listening and there are certain things that I know that

460
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm doing well right, like you know, because I talk

461
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 3: about circadian rhythms with my therapy clients, right about good

462
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,159
Speaker 3: and good sleep hygiene. Now, I just need to probably

463
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 3: adjust the diet, so I think, and I think also

464
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 3: you know what you pointed out about eating eating at

465
00:23:54,520 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: certain times every day, right, like having that consistent meal schedule.

466
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 3: It's hard for so many of us, and I think

467
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:11,679
Speaker 3: about so many of our listeners who have inconsistent work schedules, right,

468
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 3: so they're not going to be able to eat breakfast

469
00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 3: at six, lunch at noon, and dinner at five, right,

470
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 3: and so what would you recommend for folks who have

471
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 3: inconsistent food schedules or meal schedules, I should say.

472
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this is a really hard one because I

473
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: always say, like, we are our ancestors bodies. We have

474
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 2: our the same bodies of our ancestors, right, living in

475
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 2: today's modern, fast paced world with graveyard shifts and stuff

476
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 2: like that. And I've had had a client, you know,

477
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 2: that had sometimes she works nights, sometimes she works mornings.

478
00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 2: So it's really hard and it is actually it sounds harsh,

479
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 2: but by taking on that schedule, you are putting your

480
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: body at risk, right, So it's like a choice that

481
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: you have to make, you know. So I've had this

482
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 2: conversation with a client before and I was like, all right,

483
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 2: like you can do the best what you can.

484
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 4: You know, with the schedule that you have. It's not

485
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: like every.

486
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Single day, you know, usually it's like, oh, I come

487
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: in at eleven o'clock at night, and then tomorrow I'm

488
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 2: coming in at seven, and then I'm here till eleven'clock.

489
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: You know, like in some aspects there is still a

490
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 2: rhythm even though it's inconsistent and it's week five weeks.

491
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 2: So I always say, like, try to prep your body,

492
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: even though it's going to be hard as best as

493
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: where you can where you are still like making that

494
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: So you have to kind of sit down what I've

495
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 2: done with my client, and she saw some results, but

496
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: it was like really hard, like her body is, like

497
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 2: I said, her body was still in like fight mode,

498
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 2: like even with her schedule, her life schedule, and she

499
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: wasn't like a stressed person. She had a real chill job,

500
00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,199
Speaker 2: but everything was just kind of like that rhythm so

501
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: off and lacking sleep. I was like, even though you

502
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 2: look calm, your body's natural nervous system is literally thinking

503
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,479
Speaker 2: it's fighting lions, tireds and bears, you know, with the

504
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: times that you're waking up at night. So we have

505
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: to kind of understand the risk that we do when

506
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 2: we have to kind of be in this survival mode

507
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 2: of working to have these different shifts. But some of

508
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 2: the things that you can do is just sit down,

509
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 2: look at the calendar, what's this week, like, you know, because.

510
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 4: Most times usually changed week by week and not every.

511
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,120
Speaker 2: Single day, and just select the times, like you want

512
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: to make sure that you have like three to four

513
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 2: hours between meals, right, and just kind of look at

514
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 2: what you could do. A lot of times when people

515
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,159
Speaker 2: have like my clients and stuff over the years that

516
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 2: had the influx schedule, they had poor appetite.

517
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 4: They wasn't even hungry.

518
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 2: You know, it's like I rather just sleep, I just

519
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 2: drunk some water or I snacked on something and are

520
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 2: not hungry. So it is really hard you just a

521
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: few things is just look at the schedule, maybe find

522
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: some things. A lot of times what works for people

523
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: who have that influx schedule they can get some juices in,

524
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, like either fresh pressed juice yourself. I have

525
00:27:13,320 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 2: an online superfood store, so a lot of my clients

526
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 2: will go in there and get their like powdered greens

527
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: or powdered carrot juice and beets and stuff like that

528
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 2: and just drink it. You know what I mean, Like

529
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 2: at least you're getting some nutrients because in most cases

530
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 2: they're drinking or you know, like it's easier to get

531
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: that in just kind of like how it's easy to

532
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 2: just guzzle down some dackeries, but then we can't drink

533
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: no water, right, So a lot of times that's something

534
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: that you could do. So at the least when you

535
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 2: are getting stuff, even with the inconsistent schedule, and you're

536
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: not hungry because a lot of times those women aren't hungry,

537
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 2: you know you could do that. So you do have

538
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 2: to kind of do it's best look at the schedule,

539
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,680
Speaker 2: try to find three times that you can at least

540
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,040
Speaker 2: stick to and get like three to four hours in

541
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 2: between your meals, and just make the best food choices

542
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 2: as much as possible. That's not always eat because the

543
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: hormones are off, so now they're craving, you know, all

544
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 2: the wrong foods. In most cases, women who have I'm

545
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: speaking on women because this is who I work with

546
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,560
Speaker 2: who have these influx schedules, they're more so craving a

547
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 2: lot of carbs and sugars. That's kind of what happens

548
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 2: because the hormone receptors and then also too there's an

549
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 2: increase of cortisol, which most women who have those schedules

550
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 2: have a high belly fat, so a lot of the

551
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 2: craving symptoms that happen is usually like the breads and carbs.

552
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 2: So you do have to kind of learn a little

553
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: bit on what is your body seeing like if it's

554
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 2: like you're craving the breads and.

555
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 4: The sugars, what is the actual nutrient or you know.

556
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: What is the chemistry going on behind that that they're missing,

557
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: you know, and how can you maybe swap So like

558
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 2: that's things I teach in my workshop, like, Okay, if

559
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: you're craving the breads, let's get better quality breads, better

560
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,160
Speaker 2: quality grains, Let's get organic, let's.

561
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 4: Get some fruits, you know.

562
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:02,600
Speaker 2: So it's very crucial for someone who has to make

563
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: that not has to. We all have a choice, but

564
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 2: who chooses to make the life choice of like the

565
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 2: influx schedule and just like shop the best quality products

566
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: as they can, because if we're not getting good quality products,

567
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: we're having two beasts fight each other, the beast of

568
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 2: the influx schedule where the hormones are being actively aggravated

569
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,239
Speaker 2: in that way the circadie a rhythm is off, and

570
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 2: then now we're putting toxins, you know, the bad choices

571
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 2: and all the ingredients and food and now we're just

572
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: having a whole storm going on here. So you got

573
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 2: to work with what you can and what you do

574
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 2: have the choice of making and making the best food options.

575
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: Is that that is super helpful. And when I think

576
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: about the way that I ate growing up and how

577
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 1: it's changed drastically now as an adult, now that I'm

578
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: more aware and I have different body goals and I

579
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 1: know more about the body. For me, it all came

580
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: down to planning too, like literally looking at my meal

581
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: plan and meal prepping and like having a plan for

582
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 1: when I eat and exercise and all that. So thank

583
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: you for sharing those tips. I know that's going to

584
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: be super helpful. One thing you mentioned earlier, you talked

585
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 1: a bit about your experience with a leaky gut, and

586
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: I was curious about what is a leaky gut? How

587
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 1: do you know if you have that? And then how

588
00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: were you able to heal your leaky gut?

589
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, good question, And like you, Terry, like I grew

590
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 2: up in a single family home.

591
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,480
Speaker 4: My mom was busy.

592
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 2: I grew up on inn chef woerd id and hot

593
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: pockets and urus and noodles and all those things that

594
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: I end up having a lot of gastro intestinal issues

595
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 2: down the road. So leaky gut is pretty much where

596
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 2: the intestinal linings have been perforated pretty much. So I

597
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,760
Speaker 2: always give the example of like with my hands, like

598
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, if you want to kind of get an

599
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 2: understanding of what leaky gut is and what the stomach

600
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,200
Speaker 2: lining is, it's like as if you will pinch your

601
00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 2: fingers together, this is how good and strong the gut

602
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 2: lining should be. And then where we're stressed, we're eating

603
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 2: all the wrong foods, and then inflammation starts to happen.

604
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 2: The belly swell, then testinal lines swell, the toxins in

605
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: the food starts to scratch away, and now it starts

606
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 2: creating some separation, and the villa that's like looped around,

607
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: that's like you know, because it's like a finger light

608
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: pretty much that's all around gets very weak. So I

609
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 2: always say, like your gut gatekeepers are tired and fatigue.

610
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: They can't fight for you, and they just start taking

611
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: off and it starts to get loose, and like that's

612
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: when the belly swells or the inflammation starts to happen,

613
00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 2: and then the intestinal lining starts to open, and then

614
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 2: that makes susceptible from even if you're eating good food,

615
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 2: the nutrients aren't being absorbed because the gatekeepers are sleep right,

616
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: and it starts to leak through and where you're getting

617
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 2: either the toxins or the nutrients starting to get into

618
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: your blood, so then that causes like the issues of inflammation.

619
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 4: So that was what was the case with me. How

620
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 4: is it able to know?

621
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,719
Speaker 2: It's not like you can be diagnosed, you know in

622
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: a sense with it. It took for my years of

623
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 2: coaching and speak with naturopathic doctors and working with doctors

624
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:05,560
Speaker 2: that had functional medicines for us to kind of gather

625
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 2: that understanding. But if you were to go to just

626
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: like your regular Schmegglar not to discredit become doctors, but

627
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 2: if you just go to a regular doctor, because I

628
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: have family members as doctors, you know, if you regularly

629
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 2: go to the doctor, or I don't even think they

630
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 2: can diagnose, like to say that you have leaky gut.

631
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 4: But in functional medicine.

632
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 2: It's you know, there we have a larger understanding of

633
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 2: nutrition and gastrointestinal issues, et cetera, and et cetera. But

634
00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 2: it's pretty much like what it sounds like, a leak

635
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 2: going on in the gut lining And I was able

636
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: to know from the symptoms. I started to realize that

637
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 2: was that when I was fighting with hyperthyroidism, my thyroids

638
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: were like, oh my God, just like so all over

639
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 2: the place, like out of nowhere, I like dropped twenty

640
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 2: pounds and not like in a good way. It was

641
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 2: like my mom thought something was going on. I was

642
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: like people probly thinking smoking crack or something like. It

643
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 2: was just like this drop super.

644
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 4: Fast and my hair falling out.

645
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 2: I had really really bad body acne that looks like

646
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 2: these like red little creators just like coming out.

647
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,720
Speaker 4: And now that I look back, I'm like, duh, like because.

648
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 2: Everything that happens on the outside is like your stomach

649
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 2: inside out, Like your skin is your largest organs, it's

650
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: your stomach inside out, right, So we were able to

651
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: kind of realize from like literally if I drunk water,

652
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: I had inflammation.

653
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 4: It always felt like something was scraping in my stomach.

654
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: I wasn't having you know, good bout movements and stuff

655
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 2: like that.

656
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 4: So it started to.

657
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 2: Come like over time and working and talking with the

658
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 2: different doctors from both the Eastern and Western philosophy to

659
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 2: kind of gather Yeah, it was just those particular things

660
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: that was happening.

661
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 1: And I know there was like a multi questionnaire what

662
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 1: was the what did you do to heal it? That

663
00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: was the last part of that question, how did you

664
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: actually hear?

665
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,920
Speaker 2: And the one thing that did happen now I can

666
00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: say because that's when we learned from my doctor. I

667
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: had nutrient deficiencies, like vitamin deficiencies, and I was taking

668
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 2: mout to the vitamins like all the time. So that

669
00:33:59,920 --> 00:34:01,720
Speaker 2: was the thing there, because I'm like, I eat good

670
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 2: and I take all my vitamins, but it wasn't being absorbed.

671
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 2: So that's like a quick way to kind of understand.

672
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 2: I forgot that part. Can you repeat your question?

673
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 1: I forgot, yes, So how did you actually heal your

674
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: leaky good?

675
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 3: Like?

676
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:15,759
Speaker 1: I know you said that you were eating Well, that's

677
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: that's confusing too, Like you're eating well, you're doing all

678
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: the things, and you're like, why is anything working? So

679
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 1: how did you recover from that?

680
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 2: I might have changed the things I was particularly eating,

681
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: but I never cleansed, you know.

682
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 4: So I started detoxing.

683
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 2: I had to do like elimination diet, like understanding what

684
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 2: foods was causing inflammation, what foods I was sensitive to,

685
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,279
Speaker 2: and started eliminating those things out and without.

686
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 4: Me even kind of like knowing, I gave up.

687
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 2: Meat just because like my body literally just wasn't feeling

688
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 2: good when I was eating it, and I kind of

689
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: gave it a break. You know, it ended up being

690
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 2: an eight year break. I started to implement it a

691
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,560
Speaker 2: little bit about a year ago here and there when

692
00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:57,120
Speaker 2: I feel like it, but I mostly eat more plant based.

693
00:34:57,160 --> 00:35:01,399
Speaker 2: But I started by cleansing, like you know, detoxing, using

694
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: different herbs to help to heal. And one of the

695
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 2: things I started doing, I was super simple, was eating

696
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: a lot of foods that had slip because that was

697
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,880
Speaker 2: helping for me to move about. So like you know alo,

698
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,160
Speaker 2: you know, I'm putting alo and stuff in it my

699
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: smoothies or okrah, you know things like that that had

700
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:21,719
Speaker 2: a good slip. They're really healing towards the gut. There

701
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: was a plethora of things. I have to think back

702
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 2: with the quickest. The first thing was to start taking

703
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: out foods that actually caused inflammation and then starting to

704
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: reintroduce the way I was responding to foods. And I

705
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 2: had to do a food journal.

706
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:42,839
Speaker 3: Wow. Okay, so I'm glad that you got that figured out.

707
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 3: That sounds intense. And when you talk about a cleanse,

708
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 3: because over the years, I've seen all types of cleanses

709
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 3: and personally, I haven't been able to find one or

710
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 3: try or I haven't tried one yet because that's my

711
00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 3: own hesitancy around and my own relationship with food, where

712
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, do I really want to go three days,

713
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: five days, ten days? No? I take that back. I

714
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 3: did try one and it didn't work, so I think

715
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: that I was doing the wrong thing. And then after

716
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 3: that I was like, yeah, no, I'm not doing this.

717
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 3: So when you think about the various types of cleanses

718
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 3: and detoxes that are out there, how does one It's

719
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 3: a two part question. One how does one choose a

720
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 3: detox or cleanse that's right for them? And two how

721
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: do they know if it's working?

722
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 2: Doctor dom That's a really good question because I have

723
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 2: done a series of different types of cleanses from different modalities.

724
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,760
Speaker 2: It's you do, I mean one the best, smartest way,

725
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: And that wasn't my option in the beginning. But you know,

726
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 2: working with someone who is an expert at that, you know,

727
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: working with the health coach, detax coach, a functional practitioner

728
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 2: you know in some way is helpful because you you

729
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: know you they're able to assess what your body needs

730
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 2: and then kind of help you along the way. But

731
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: even still, like I, like I said, I've worked with doctors.

732
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 2: They got the blood work and some of the things

733
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 2: just didn't quite work with the method that they did.

734
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 2: So I did also have to kind of use a

735
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: bit of my intuition, you know, to kind of like

736
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 2: lead through in certain stuff. So you one, you have

737
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:40,359
Speaker 2: to kind of trust the process because it does take

738
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: time so to say something don't work. And I have

739
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: clients that come to me like, oh, I did this,

740
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: it didn't work, But how long you did it? I

741
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: did it for like four or five days, And I'm

742
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 2: like it could be a mini multiple of things.

743
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:54,640
Speaker 4: The season that you did it in.

744
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,720
Speaker 2: Is it ideal that you know, the type of clans

745
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: that you did was suitable towards the season, because depending

746
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: on what it is, like, you know, like just like

747
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:06,360
Speaker 2: juice fasts and stuff like that during the winter months

748
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:10,120
Speaker 2: may not be beneficial because there's certain properties of foods

749
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 2: that are like coal properties, right, And when I say

750
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:17,000
Speaker 2: properties is like like cucumbers or something, right, that's more

751
00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: of a colder property.

752
00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 4: And the way how.

753
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,200
Speaker 2: It's accepted in the gut, that's the best way I

754
00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 2: can say. So this is a little bit of iervated

755
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 2: medicine that I had like studied and stuff in school

756
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 2: to gather at understanding because there's certain seasons when you

757
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:34,400
Speaker 2: should do different type of cleansing what organs to cleanse, Okay,

758
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 2: So that's one thing also to give it time and

759
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 2: sometimes you just got to try it and see, you know,

760
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 2: I had to go through a lot of things, even

761
00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 2: though some that I knew that work and it just

762
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,880
Speaker 2: didn't work for me, or there was times where it

763
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 2: didn't work for me at that time. That works for

764
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 2: me today because I had to go you know, different routes.

765
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,759
Speaker 2: So it is more of an embrace and X like

766
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 2: exploration of it, you know. Now one of the things

767
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: that I do and I do like big group cleanses

768
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 2: and stuff like that, like you gut cleans it's very

769
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 2: general because and it gives you like you know, the

770
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,280
Speaker 2: chlorophylls that you need as far as the greens.

771
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 4: It gives you, you know, the healthy facts that you need.

772
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: You get the proteins and you can still eat because

773
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 2: a lot of people like like don't like to eat.

774
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,440
Speaker 2: And you could choose the gauge that you wish to do.

775
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: So we have three types of schedules. Like you know,

776
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 2: one of very simple, you're not giving up like everything,

777
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,640
Speaker 2: like you could still eat your fish.

778
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:28,120
Speaker 4: Or your chicken.

779
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 2: You know, make sure it's organic and clean, and then

780
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: you just incorporate you know, the green juices and then the.

781
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 4: Different herbs to help you to release right.

782
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 2: And then there's ones that if you want to do

783
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 2: it accelerated, like where you're only having what we call

784
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 2: flex foods and you're just doing fruits and vegetables and

785
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: you know, like three times out of the day, like

786
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:51,280
Speaker 2: you're still eating, but then you're having three green shakes

787
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 2: like you know, So there's different regiments. What I've found,

788
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,320
Speaker 2: and I've been coaching my client students for eight years

789
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 2: now this February makes eight years. I found that it

790
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 2: was something sutable. Once I teach a client even years

791
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 2: down and they're not even a client, they were able

792
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 2: to rock with it, you know, going long term because

793
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 2: they found something that worked for them.

794
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 4: But it just depends like it it's.

795
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,640
Speaker 2: Really no like cut throat way because the body is

796
00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 2: so complex. It depends on the stage where you are.

797
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 2: And I've even done cleanses where my life was a

798
00:40:25,280 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 2: little too chaotic to do, you know, like my schedule

799
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 2: was too all over placed. I was doing the things

800
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: all at the different time, and I wasn't ready for

801
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 2: that particular regimen.

802
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 4: And I'm speaking more of.

803
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 2: Like some of the Iravdic practices there is really intense

804
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 2: and you can have a reverse effect with some of

805
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: the herbs and the different formulas. And if I with

806
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: my schedule, like I literally need to go to a

807
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: cabin somewhere and just like not have any technology. Remember Martin,

808
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,920
Speaker 2: we became what was this name Sunshine something I can't remember,

809
00:40:56,960 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 2: but like it was like I needed to do that

810
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:01,840
Speaker 2: y and kind of do that. So it really depends

811
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: on what the type of you know, clins and you got.

812
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 4: To find what works for you and what you just

813
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: stick to.

814
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 3: I appreciate that because I'm like, okay, I'm listening, and

815
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: now I'm like, okay, yeah. As soon as you said,

816
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 3: like the juice cleans in the winter, I was like, oh, yeah, well, dull,

817
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 3: that's probably that was exactly what I did and that's

818
00:41:20,680 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 3: exactly why it did work. And so yeah, yes, yes,

819
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 3: I appreciate that. And so now one question that women

820
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 3: think about. One thing that women think about all the

821
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: time is their belly fat like, I know, I think

822
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 3: about mine. So what would you say is the best

823
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 3: method to examining and figuring out how to get rid

824
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,240
Speaker 3: of that's that belly fat that won't go away.

825
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I get this all the time.

826
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:04,839
Speaker 2: I've had you know, belly fat blaster programs and you

827
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: know things of that. I say this in a funny,

828
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: sarcastic way, but let me explain. And I say this

829
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 2: to my clients and they laugh and roll their eyes.

830
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,640
Speaker 2: I'm like, mind your food and mind your business. And

831
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:17,759
Speaker 2: the reason why I say that is because if you

832
00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 2: minage your mind the food you eat and mind your

833
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:23,320
Speaker 2: business from like just focusing on you and not that's

834
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 2: creating more stress into your life. Because most issues that

835
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 2: happens for women that have high belly fat has a

836
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 2: lot to do with stress. And that's what I kind

837
00:42:32,520 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 2: of like share and talk about it in my workshop.

838
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 4: But when we learn to manage.

839
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 2: Those two and you know, move the body, drink the water,

840
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: you know those things, your hormones can communicate properly from

841
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 2: your gut to your brain, right like your gut is

842
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: your second brain. They can communicate the right way and

843
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 2: help you to be able to release the stubborn belly

844
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: fat that occurs. So you know, of course drinking water.

845
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 2: You know, some people don't like it's like, okay, drink water,

846
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: but a lot of times it's not like the gallon

847
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 2: of days. I cannot stand that when I hear you

848
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 2: I'm gonna drink a gallon a day. I'm an anti.

849
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 4: Gallon day person.

850
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 2: Unless you're over like three hundred pounds then maybe, but

851
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: I'm anti drink a gallon of water a day. Drink

852
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,279
Speaker 2: half of your body weight right in ounces, like if

853
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: you're one hundred pounds fifty ounces, you know, two hundred

854
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:27,480
Speaker 2: pounds one hundred ounces, and get your water from high

855
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 2: water content fruits and vegetables.

856
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: You'll be a lot.

857
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 2: More hydrated that way than just drinking all this damn

858
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:40,560
Speaker 2: water and flushing your organs and also diluting.

859
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 4: The nutrients that you can absorb.

860
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 2: So it's a big misconception that goes on out here

861
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 2: where people are just trying to do the gallon of

862
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 2: a day, and especially if you're not doing high intensity workout,

863
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: you're sweating it out now when you and what it

864
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,879
Speaker 2: comes from is like more of the fitness world in competition, right,

865
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 2: these are men with high muscle gas that has the

866
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,239
Speaker 2: gallon of water a day, they're sweating a lot, and

867
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: they're doing two a day workouts. It is not for

868
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: the sedondary mom that's sitting at her desk all day

869
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 2: trying to do that.

870
00:44:13,080 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 4: That's not your lifestyle sist.

871
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 2: So I just wanted to always clear that because that's

872
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 2: not the concept. You know, you got to mind your

873
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,320
Speaker 2: food and your business that works for you and figure

874
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,720
Speaker 2: that out. And you know, getting high water content drinking,

875
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: having your fruits in the early part of the day

876
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 2: and the vegetables more in the evening because the sugar,

877
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 2: you know, so it's you know, it's some different concepts

878
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 2: for there. But that's like simple way to kind of

879
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 2: work on that. And I'm not a person that if

880
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: you have issues with dehydration and constipation, like we were

881
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 2: talking about the poop.

882
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 4: Right, try and if you're drinking cold water, try warm.

883
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 2: Maybe you know, like think about we go outside and

884
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 2: it's cold, what do we do shrivel up?

885
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,000
Speaker 4: That could be what's going on in the gut.

886
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:03,800
Speaker 2: So I have a lot of women that love ice

887
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,879
Speaker 2: water or kneemacking their eating ice. It could be an eye,

888
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 2: a dine and a kneemic issue too, But go for

889
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,040
Speaker 2: warm waters. You know, first thing in the morning, we

890
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 2: some line up in there, have some warm water.

891
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 4: Start your morning.

892
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 2: Off like that, get some fruits, and then like try

893
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 2: to get your meals and three times a day.

894
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 1: Can I just tell you that my mind is blown

895
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 1: right now? Okay, this has been so insightful. Let me

896
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 1: just say thank you for taking the pressure off with

897
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 1: a gallon of water a day, because let me tell you,

898
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: that has been a goal of mine. I think I

899
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,640
Speaker 1: did it like one time when I had it as

900
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 1: a goal, and so I appreciate that. But y'all have

901
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:41,439
Speaker 1: me ready there move to a cabin girl. Okay, y'all

902
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,160

00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: all the things. And I'm actually debating. I'm like, don

00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: we should we ask more questions or should we move

909
00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 1: into the fun phase of our conversation where we do

910
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:07,279

00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: us more about the picture, something that people would not

934
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 1: know by just looking at the picture. So we're going

935
00:47:13,800 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 1: to jump on in with our three questions first, and

936
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to pass it on over to doctor dun.

937
00:47:20,600 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 3: All right, So our first question is what's the best

938
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 3: piece of wisdom or advice you've ever received?

939
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 2: Ooh okay, Like I'm like a wisdom wizard, right. I

940
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 2: love what Will Smith said when he said everyone wants

941
00:47:39,520 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: to go to heaven, but no one wants to die.

942
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 4: I love that concept because you got.

943
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: To do the work for the transformation of whatever you

944
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: know that you want to do. And I heard Terry say, like,

945
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: you know, you can't skip the work. You did the work,

946
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 2: like when you're talking about my whole journey and story.

947
00:47:57,120 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 2: So I love that's a really good wisdom piece.

948
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:04,200
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, we like it. We like it now, Lauren,

949
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: I have four words for you, okay, twerk or two steps.

950
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 2: Yaya, lower chakras okay, okay, okay.

951
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 3: So speaking of our lower chakras, and what is the

952
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,359
Speaker 3: sexiest item you own?

953
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,080

Speaker 1: Now we're going to move on to the sentence completions.

960
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: The first sentence completion is one question or topic I

961
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 1: wish people ask me about more often is.

962
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 4: What hobbies that I have.

963
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: I don't get people to ask me that, like, you know,

964
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 2: they kind of just think I'm all about fitness and

965
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 2: health and stuff like that, and it's like, I am

966
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: a multi facet person.

967
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: Okay, miss multifaceted Lauren.

00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,520
Speaker 2: I like to paint. I'm very artsy crafty. My way

972
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 2: how I kind of do is like I don't have

973
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 2: times where I kind of do a lot of my

974
00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,959
Speaker 2: graphics and stuff, but I actually am very like I.

975
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 4: Love to paint.

976
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 2: I want to learn how to sew, and I want

Speaker 4: That's beautiful.

987
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 1: You didn't. It wasn't my question to ask, but the

988
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: word that came to mind for me was resilience. I'm

989
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 1: deeply inspired by you and your story, Lauren. I was like, man, that, no, seriously,

990
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: what you experienced that could really take someone out, especially

991
00:50:20,680 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to your body, and this is what

992
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: we have to use in our day to day to

993
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:27,080
Speaker 1: work and to live. So that was just like so intense,

994
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,359
Speaker 1: you know, telling your story about all that you experienced.

995
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: So again, kudos to you, lady.

996
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:42,160

Speaker 4: Yeah?

999
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: And a lot of ways from inside what y'all can't see,

1000
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,160
Speaker 2: like gut health issues and autoimmune to even physical like

1001
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 2: I had toward my aco my meniscus three years ago

Speaker 1: really quickly, if you can explain to people that are

1016
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,240
Speaker 1: not watching this video on Patreon, if you can explain

1017
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: to them what we're looking at and then describe the

1018

Speaker 2: Wow, so this is a throwback. This is like definitely

1021
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,840
Speaker 2: my fitness days. So this is Elsie fits Us day, Lauren,

1022
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: who was really into the fitness realm and not to

1023
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,800
Speaker 2: say I'm in, but I found fitness more than the gym.

1024
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 2: I was still a trainer in the physical gym at

1025
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 2: this time. So I smile when I look at this line, like, oh,

1026
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:17,000
Speaker 2: you're so cute. But this is before all the chronic

1027
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 2: pain and all those things and started to really implement

1028
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,000
Speaker 2: self care in a different way.

1029
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:23,480
Speaker 1: I have to ask you how hard was it for

1030
00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 1: you to jump up and pose in this way? Because

1031
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that super challenging. I don't know if

1032
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 1: I'd be able to hold the polls and jump up

1033
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:30,800
Speaker 1: while they snapped the picture.

1034
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 2: Shout out to Hugh Quinton, by the way, he was

1035
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: my photographer, and I don't think we did that many attempts.

1036
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: He's just really good, Like he knew to tell me

1037
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: when to jump, and he just he was good at

1038
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 2: shooting it, like you know, so he was like, just

1039
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 2: do what you do, just smile. I mean I had

1040
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 2: a couple of shots that I probably looked like I

1041
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:54,279
Speaker 2: was like, you know, Krimlin or something, but he was

1042
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,200
Speaker 2: it was I really give it to the photographer good at.

1043
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 4: Getting no shots.

1044
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:01,800
