I'm going to try to keep this brief 9 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,000 Speaker 1: but informative. Maybe you guys can look at this as 10 00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: an audio guide you can come back and reference at 11 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: a later time. I don't know what to start off with, you, guys. 12 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Are a lot of things that I've tried throughout the 13 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: years that have done wonders for me, and certain things 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: that I've been doing lately that I'm absolutely in love with, 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 1: and I was like, I need to share this with 16 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: the world. You guys are my world, and I want 17 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: to share with you. Okay, So one of the things 18 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: that I just recently started doing is oil pulling and 19 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: tongue scraping. I don't know how in the world I 20 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: did not know about this sooner. Because I want to 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 1: go to the dentist every six months, you guys, for 22 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: my cleaning. So the point is I've been doing it 23 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,760 Speaker 1: for the past I want to say, two months, and 24 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: I am in love. Okay. So what is tongue scraping 25 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,399 Speaker 1: and what is oil pulling? I did my research. I'm 26 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: gonna read some things for you, guys, and then I'll 27 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,759 Speaker 1: give you my personal take on it. Okay. Tongue scraping 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: is using a metal or copper tool to gently remove 29 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 1: the coating of toxins, bacteria, and build up from your tongue. 30 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: Each morning. Oil pulling follows swishing oil like cold preass coconut, 31 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: sesame or some flour in your mouth for five to 32 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: twenty minutes to draw out deep toxins. So this is 33 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: the way of daily detox It is important to do 34 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 1: like daily detoxing like this, like oil pulling, tongue scraping 35 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: for your liver because the less toxins that we have 36 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,440 Speaker 1: in our body, the less chances of disease forming and 37 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: living in our body. That and also inflammation, and we're 38 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: going to talk about that moving forward. But my gosh, guys, 39 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: what I do in the morning, I wake up, I 40 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: drink water, I put the oil straight in my mouth. 41 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: It's one that I bought off of Amazon actually, and 42 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: it's organic. It's coconut oil with some mint. The one 43 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 1: that I bought comes with like a little cap, like 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,679 Speaker 1: you know when you buy medicine, and it like has 45 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 1: a cap and it tells you like it measures it's 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: about I don't know, like yeah, like a tablespoon. I 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,120 Speaker 1: would say a tablespoon and a half. Not only is 48 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: it great for you, and it clears your tongue and 49 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: from bacteria and toxins and all that, and whitens your 50 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: teeth right, and it helps your gums the gum health 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: as well, but swishing is also an exercising for your 52 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: jaw and neck. So when I heard that, I was like, oh, 53 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: I am missing a day because you know, we're getting 54 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: older out here and I've lost weight and my neck 55 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: is just not the same. So I've been very like 56 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: self conscious about it. So when I heard that, I 57 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, I'm doing this. So now 58 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm doing it for like ten minutes. At first, I 59 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 1: couldn't do it more than two minutes because it kind 60 00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: of does hurt your mouth a little bit, like you're swishing. 61 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: So it's a little sore. But I've worked my way 62 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: up to ten minutes. And all I do is I 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: put the oil in there. I'm swishing, literally like swishing 64 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: it through my teeth. Obviously, like don't swallow it. You're 65 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: not supposed to swallow it. Don't spit it out in 66 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: your sink either, because it could clog up the pipes. 67 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: I spit it out in the trash can, and it's 68 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: a little thick. It's a little weird at first, and 69 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: it takes a little bit of time to get used to. Anyway, 70 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: while I'm doing that, I'm swishing, i am lighting my incense. 71 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 1: I'm setting the tone for like my meditation and stuff. 72 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm not like just sitting there. I'm 73 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: actively doing something. And then I just spit it out 74 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: and I brush my teeth. So what I do my 75 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: process is I tongue scrape first and then I do 76 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: the oil pulling, then I brush my teeth. Okay, it 77 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: is a bit of a process, but again this is 78 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 1: self love, self care, so I highly recommend it. Okay, 79 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: I love it. My teeth feels better, like I feel 80 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: like I don't have bad breath, like even if I 81 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: eat onion or anything like that. Like my taste buds. Guys, 82 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: I'm so much better, Like now I came. I if 83 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: something's too salty, I feel it right away, like I'm 84 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: eating less salt because of it as well. So it 85 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: has a lot of great benefits. Look into it. Highly 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: recommend it. And here here's why it's powerful. Okay. It 87 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: removes bad breath causing bacteria, prevents cavities and gum disease naturally, 88 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: whitens the teeth, supports digestion by improving oral flora, reduces 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: the bacterial load that leads to inflammation in the body, 90 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: boost energy, mental clarity, strengthens the connection between oral health 91 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 1: and gut health. This is the reason I started doing 92 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 1: and I learned about the oil pulling and the tongue scraping. 93 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: Was because of that holistic doctor that I went to 94 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: that started me on this whole, like reminded me and 95 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 1: brought me back to myself of like being organic and 96 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: doing these things. And it was because of my digestion. 97 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: She told me, you need to start tongue scraping. She 98 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: took my poles, she didn't take any blood. All she 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: did was like, let me see your tongue and from 100 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: my tongue health. She was able to see what I 101 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: was dealing with. So our tongue shows a lot of 102 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: our health. And this is like a pract just like 103 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: indigenous practice, guys. So this is from like years and 104 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: years ago. So look into it again. You can go 105 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: back and listen to this again. And now I want 106 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: to move on because again I said, I want to 107 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: make this as brief as possible. Okay. Another thing that 108 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 1: I've been doing is cold face plunging. Okay, I don't 109 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: know if you guys have seen it on social media. 110 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: After I started like looking into it, it's been all 111 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: over my feet because you know, our phones listen to us. 112 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: But that's another conversation. I know about obviously cold plunging 113 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: like when you submerge your body, but I didn't know 114 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: about the face. And funny enough, what I would do 115 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: while I was going to the gym was I would 116 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: always grab ice cubes and roll them up in a 117 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: little napkin and like put them on my eyes to 118 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 1: help like my eyes from like depuffing and tightening and stuff. 119 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: So anything that's cold is good for your skin. It's 120 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 1: great for your skin. Even when I shower, I shower 121 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: with like warm water. I do the whole thing, and 122 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: then right before I get out, I do like as 123 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: cold as I possibly can. It's just so good for you. 124 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,720 Speaker 1: All you do is just I mean, could be a 125 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: little inconvenient, but you know you have to go downstairs 126 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 1: or you have to go to your refrigerator from your 127 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: bedroom and grab the ice cubes. You know, I know, 128 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: but again, these are all things that are great for 129 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: you and the super beneficial, so I think it's worth it. 130 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 1: Just wake up a little earlier and do it. And 131 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: I just grab a normal bole, fill it up with 132 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: cap water, put some ice, wait for it to melt, 133 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 1: and then I plunge my face about three times, and 134 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: I do it for ten to fifteen seconds at a time. 135 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: You have to hold your breath, obviously, and then just 136 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: count in your head slowly one, two, three, you know, 137 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: until you get to ten or whatever you can handle, 138 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: because after the first time, your nose gets a little numb. 139 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:47,040 Speaker 1: But the tightness, the depuffing you guys, amazing. So let 140 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: me read because this is straight from the internet, guys, 141 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: so it's not something that I made up. I wanted 142 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: to make sure that I'm giving you guys the right information. 143 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: Dunking your face in cold water or using ice tools 144 00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: to stimulate blood, float and refresh the nervous system. Okay, 145 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: and these are the benefits. Reduces puffiness and tightened skin, 146 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: Booth circulation and glow, calms the nervous system and stress response. 147 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: Supports lymphatic drainage okay, depuffing huge and my rosacea. It 148 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: helps with my roseacea, helps regulate oil production and skin clarity. 149 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: But also, guys, it's like a free natural facelift and 150 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: a mood reset because it does.

And I have been experiencing it. 158 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: I haven't been doing it for long, guys, it's been 159 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 1: a month, but I am loving it and I highly 160 00:07:50,480 --> 00:08:00,559 Speaker 1: recommend it.

Okay, I've been doing breath 162 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: work for a long time, and I freaking love it 163 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: and I want to talk about it because sometimes obviously 164 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: we're breathing, like right now, I'm like breathing, But when 165 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: you breathe intentionally, like hold it. And then when you 166 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: do those things when I'm stressed out, when I'm having 167 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,840 Speaker 1: a bad day, which I've been experiencing lately, a lot 168 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: has been going on, I'm like, Okay, we can change 169 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: our entire mood, guys, with just taking a deep breath 170 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: and letting out the stress. Even making that noise does 171 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: something to your shoulders, to your neck. It resets your mind. 172 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: And this is what the internet says. Okay, just so 173 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 1: you see that it's true, and I'm just here to 174 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: tell you and affirm it and confirm Okay. Intentional breathing 175 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: practices to activate healing, calm, and connection. It clears stagnant 176 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:10,199 Speaker 1: energy and emotional blocks, regulates the nervous system, reduces anxiety, panic, 177 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: and overthinking. Very true. Here's a big one for the 178 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: women and for men, but mainly for us women. Lowers 179 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: cortisol and inflammation. Okay, we hear a lot of inflammation. 180 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 1: You see, everything is inflammation. I don't know if you've 181 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,559 Speaker 1: seen that so far. But inflammation, guys, it lives in 182 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 1: our body. And we talked about this guys with a doctor, 183 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 1: a holistic doctor here on Cheeki's and Chills. So check 184 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 1: out that episode. Because inflammation, you guys, is a real thing, 185 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: and that's why turmeric is very important to take. I'm 186 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: not a doctor again, I'm just suggesting these are things 187 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: that have helped me. Because inflammation causes disease. It also 188 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: can cause cancer. There's a lot of inflammation in the body, 189 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: in the gut, in the organs, you guys. So breath 190 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: work again, you can look up on YouTube and there 191 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: are a lot of apps. There are a lot of 192 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 1: people on TikTok as well doing breath work and teaching 193 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 1: people how to do the square. I think it's I 194 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: believe it's called square breathing. Amazing. Guys, you heard all 195 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: of the benefits. Look it up, see what works best 196 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: for you. Okay, if that's something that interests you. But 197 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: another thing is mouth taping at night. Okay, I've heard 198 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,520 Speaker 1: about mouth taping a lot. One of my friend's husbands 199 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: does it and he said, hey, Cheeky's, I super highly 200 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: recommend it, and I ignored it for a while until 201 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: I saw an ad that came up, and I think 202 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: because I had been talking about it, it came up. 203 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: And what caught my attention was that it can also 204 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: help with the excess fat under our chin. So with 205 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: the jaw line, I'm super obsessed with, like making sure 206 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: my jawline looks good right now. I don't know why, 207 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: but it's like I'm doing exercise, I'm doing all these 208 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: things for it. So when I saw that, I was like, hey, 209 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna try it and see. And then I saw 210 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: and I researched all the benefit and I'm like, oh 211 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,680 Speaker 1: my god, this is amazing. I should have listened to 212 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: Rob my friend's husband a long time ago, because he's 213 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: been doing it for a long time. Okay, so what 214 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: is it. It's lightly taping the mouth closed at night 215 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: to encourage nasal breathing after COVID. Guys, I got COVID 216 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: three times. It messed up all my sinuses and my 217 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,880 Speaker 1: nose has never been the same. So I started breathing 218 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: through my mouth a lot, especially when I was asleep, 219 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: and obviously that's not good. So moving forward, what I'm 220 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: saying is improves oxygen intake and sleep quality. It really 221 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: does supports oral health and prevents dry mouth, reduces snoring 222 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: and jaw tension. That's where the jaw thing comes in, guys. 223 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: Supports heart and brain health. I've noticed I have a 224 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: clearer mind when I wake up. I'm not even lying. 225 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 1: It also encourages proper facial structure and nitric oxide production. Guys, 226 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: these are all great things. And no, you're not gonna 227 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: grab some tape from like your drawer and put tape 228 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: on your mouth like they have special tape that's not 229 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 1: going to irritate your skin. I have very sensitive skin, 230 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 1: and I found a good tape that says, okay, great 231 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: for sensitive skin. You can find it at you can 232 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,959 Speaker 1: find it on Amazon. You can find it. Just google 233 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: mouth tape and a bunch will come out. I'm not 234 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,319 Speaker 1: gonna recommend the one I use, because the point here 235 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,520 Speaker 1: is you guys, doing your own research and seeing what 236 00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: works best for you. But I have felt the difference, 237 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 1: like I have slept so good. I put it on 238 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: Emilia the last two nights and he told me, he's like, Babe, 239 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the tape or I don't 240 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: know if it's because we're not smoking right now cannabis. 241 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: He's like, but the dreams that I've been having have 242 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: been so vivid. He's like, I had some deep, deep sleep, babe, 243 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 1: And I think it has to do with the mouth tape, 244 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,560 Speaker 1: and I've seen him wake up with more energy. Try 245 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: it and then you decide. But it is amazing. I 246 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: don't know if you guys have heard about red light therapy. 247 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: I have been doing that for a while, and I 248 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: started doing it because I have very poor circulation, and 249 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,199 Speaker 1: that's something that I've known for a long time. And 250 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,240 Speaker 1: I do the vibrating plate and the red light therapy 251 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 1: can be pricey, I will say that, but there are 252 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: places that are offering it. It's coming up a lot more, 253 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: and I wanted to just bring it up because it 254 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: is something that I think is important for all of us, 255 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: because a lot of us don't get a lot of 256 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,840 Speaker 1: sun exposure. There's nothing better than the natural sun. But 257 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: red light therapy is different and it has a lot 258 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: of great benefits. And I have seen and have felt 259 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 1: a big difference. And I wish I would have known sooner, honestly, 260 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,599 Speaker 1: like in my twenties, because I think it would have 261 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 1: helped my circulation a lot. Yeah, because I get a 262 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: lot of water retention and stuff like that, and I 263 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: think I would have been able to prevent it a 264 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: lot sooner. But anyway, we're learning, we're living and learning, okay. 265 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: So it is a healing treatment to promote regeneration at 266 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: the cellular level. It boosts collagen and skin elasticity. It's 267 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: very hard for me to say that word, but elasticity 268 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,680 Speaker 1: reduces wrinkles and sun damage, m M calms, ro satia, 269 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: and acne. I have roseatia. It's been helping that a lot. 270 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,760 Speaker 1: Enhances thyroid and hormonal health, speeds up muscle and joint recovery, 271 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: reduces inflammation in the body. Inflammation again, it is great. Again, 272 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: I have, you know, bad circulation. I'm trying to like 273 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: age gracefully. So wrinkles, it has been phenomenal. It also 274 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: helps again with your joints. I do it like three 275 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 1: times a week. I sit in front of my light. 276 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: It is important to buy if you're going to purchase one, 277 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: to buy a quality like look at the reviews and 278 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 1: make sure that it is a high quality red light 279 00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: because there's some that are out there. Because it's becoming 280 00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: so popular, guys that don't buy just a cheap one 281 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: because you know, I know, I'm telling you. I know 282 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: it could be expensive, but it has to be a 283 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 1: good one. So please look at the reviews. That's one 284 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: thing I will tell you, because I almost got bumboozled 285 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: and bought one that was like, Okay, it's like less expensive, 286 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 1: but it was not. It was actually going to cause damage. 287 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 1: So that's why I'm saying, make sure you're reading your 288 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: reviews and doing your research on whatever it is that 289 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 1: you're buying. But again, there are places a lot of 290 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: spas are coming out and they offer it and you 291 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: could do it once a week and they have like 292 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 1: these full body ones. It helps with scars as well, 293 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: like if you have scars. I have scars from like 294 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: my boob reduction, and I feel like it's been helping 295 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: flattening them out as well and lightening them. So highly 296 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:42,920 Speaker 1: recommend it. And you know what, I'm not going to 297 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 1: go into the other ones that I had because I 298 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: was going to talk about daily detalks body brushing. You guys, 299 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't want to get into the details because I 300 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 1: want to make this as short and pretty and informative 301 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 1: as I possibly can. But if you guys like this episode, 302 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: let me know. If you want to hear about these 303 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 1: other things. I will gladly elaborate and talk about it 304 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: a little bit more. But look into it.

We 307 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: can get into the nitty gritty if you want a 308 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: second part of it. But I did want to talk 309 00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: to you guys about inflammation and how important it is 310 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: to reduce it in our bodies by not only taking supplements, 311 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 1: speak to your doctors right about supplements, but also by 312 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: not eating certain things. And if you guys want to 313 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: know a little bit more about certain foods and how 314 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: it affects your skin and your health.

So, too much 317 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 1: inflammation can lead to hormonal imbalances, Okay, something I've dealt with, 318 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 1: And a lot of things that we eat, guys, A 319 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: lot of the stuff that's in our food is causing that, 320 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: and is causing even the stuff that we put on 321 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,040 Speaker 1: our skin. If we're putting too much fragrance on our skin, 322 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: on our body, you guys, it will cause a lot 323 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: of hormonal imbalances, okay, autoimmune disease, heart problems, fertility struggles, 324 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:10,199 Speaker 1: mental health challenges, chronic pain and fatigue, premature aging, and 325 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: autoimmune disease.
