WEBVTT - Wellness Hacks I Wish I Knew Sooner 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:06.040 Hello, Hello, Happy Monday. I'm sitting here at my studio 0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:09.920 ready to record today's episode because I'm super excited. Today 0:00:09.960 --> 0:00:12.680 we're going to talk about wellness tips. There are so 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:15.280 many habits I've picked up over the years that really 0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.159 made a difference in my life, and I wish I 0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:21.080 would have known about them sooner, you guys. Lucky for you, 0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:23.560 your big sister Cheeky's is here to tell you all 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.280 about them. I'm going to try to keep this brief 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.000 but informative. Maybe you guys can look at this as 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.040 an audio guide you can come back and reference at 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:35.640 a later time. I don't know what to start off with, you, guys. 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.760 Are a lot of things that I've tried throughout the 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.400 years that have done wonders for me, and certain things 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.360 that I've been doing lately that I'm absolutely in love with, 0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:45.559 and I was like, I need to share this with 0:00:45.600 --> 0:00:48.319 the world. You guys are my world, and I want 0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:50.760 to share with you. Okay, So one of the things 0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:54.960 that I just recently started doing is oil pulling and 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.440 tongue scraping. I don't know how in the world I 0:00:58.480 --> 0:01:02.120 did not know about this sooner. Because I want to 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.440 go to the dentist every six months, you guys, for 0:01:04.520 --> 0:01:06.760 my cleaning. So the point is I've been doing it 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:08.760 for the past I want to say, two months, and 0:01:09.000 --> 0:01:12.200 I am in love. Okay. So what is tongue scraping 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:15.399 and what is oil pulling? I did my research. I'm 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.479 gonna read some things for you, guys, and then I'll 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:21.759 give you my personal take on it. Okay. Tongue scraping 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.960 is using a metal or copper tool to gently remove 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.360 the coating of toxins, bacteria, and build up from your tongue. 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:33.679 Each morning. Oil pulling follows swishing oil like cold preass coconut, 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.840 sesame or some flour in your mouth for five to 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:40.280 twenty minutes to draw out deep toxins. So this is 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:42.840 the way of daily detox It is important to do 0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.920 like daily detoxing like this, like oil pulling, tongue scraping 0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.760 for your liver because the less toxins that we have 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.440 in our body, the less chances of disease forming and 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.560 living in our body. That and also inflammation, and we're 0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.680 going to talk about that moving forward. But my gosh, guys, 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.400 what I do in the morning, I wake up, I 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.800 drink water, I put the oil straight in my mouth. 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.840 It's one that I bought off of Amazon actually, and 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:12.919 it's organic. It's coconut oil with some mint. The one 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:14.880 that I bought comes with like a little cap, like 0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.679 you know when you buy medicine, and it like has 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:20.200 a cap and it tells you like it measures it's 0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.639 about I don't know, like yeah, like a tablespoon. I 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:25.120 would say a tablespoon and a half. Not only is 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:27.640 it great for you, and it clears your tongue and 0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:31.240 from bacteria and toxins and all that, and whitens your 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.720 teeth right, and it helps your gums the gum health 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:38.280 as well, but swishing is also an exercising for your 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:41.320 jaw and neck. So when I heard that, I was like, oh, 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:43.960 I am missing a day because you know, we're getting 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.960 older out here and I've lost weight and my neck 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.720 is just not the same. So I've been very like 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.200 self conscious about it. So when I heard that, I 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.960 was like, oh my gosh, I'm doing this. So now 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.880 I'm doing it for like ten minutes. At first, I 0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.160 couldn't do it more than two minutes because it kind 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.680 of does hurt your mouth a little bit, like you're swishing. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.480 So it's a little sore. But I've worked my way 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.960 up to ten minutes. And all I do is I 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:08.680 put the oil in there. I'm swishing, literally like swishing 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.200 it through my teeth. Obviously, like don't swallow it. You're 0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:12.880 not supposed to swallow it. Don't spit it out in 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.520 your sink either, because it could clog up the pipes. 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.919 I spit it out in the trash can, and it's 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:19.720 a little thick. It's a little weird at first, and 0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.120 it takes a little bit of time to get used to. Anyway, 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:26.919 while I'm doing that, I'm swishing, i am lighting my incense. 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:29.480 I'm setting the tone for like my meditation and stuff. 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:31.640 And you know, I'm not like just sitting there. I'm 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:35.240 actively doing something. And then I just spit it out 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.960 and I brush my teeth. So what I do my 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:41.560 process is I tongue scrape first and then I do 0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.520 the oil pulling, then I brush my teeth. Okay, it 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.400 is a bit of a process, but again this is 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:50.080 self love, self care, so I highly recommend it. Okay, 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.440 I love it. My teeth feels better, like I feel 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.680 like I don't have bad breath, like even if I 0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.880 eat onion or anything like that. Like my taste buds. Guys, 0:03:58.480 --> 0:04:01.680 I'm so much better, Like now I came. I if 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.760 something's too salty, I feel it right away, like I'm 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.480 eating less salt because of it as well. So it 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.280 has a lot of great benefits. Look into it. Highly 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.600 recommend it. And here here's why it's powerful. Okay. It 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:17.000 removes bad breath causing bacteria, prevents cavities and gum disease naturally, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:22.320 whitens the teeth, supports digestion by improving oral flora, reduces 0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:25.600 the bacterial load that leads to inflammation in the body, 0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:31.000 boost energy, mental clarity, strengthens the connection between oral health 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.719 and gut health. This is the reason I started doing 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:35.960 and I learned about the oil pulling and the tongue scraping. 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:37.960 Was because of that holistic doctor that I went to 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.560 that started me on this whole, like reminded me and 0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:43.280 brought me back to myself of like being organic and 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.760 doing these things. And it was because of my digestion. 0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:49.599 She told me, you need to start tongue scraping. She 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:51.720 took my poles, she didn't take any blood. All she 0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.880 did was like, let me see your tongue and from 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:55.839 my tongue health. She was able to see what I 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:58.839 was dealing with. So our tongue shows a lot of 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.360 our health. And this is like a pract just like 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.919 indigenous practice, guys. So this is from like years and 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.120 years ago. So look into it again. You can go 0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:09.360 back and listen to this again. And now I want 0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:10.760 to move on because again I said, I want to 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.280 make this as brief as possible. Okay. Another thing that 0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.719 I've been doing is cold face plunging. Okay, I don't 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.679 know if you guys have seen it on social media. 0:05:21.000 --> 0:05:23.080 After I started like looking into it, it's been all 0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.800 over my feet because you know, our phones listen to us. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.880 But that's another conversation. I know about obviously cold plunging 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.120 like when you submerge your body, but I didn't know 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:35.440 about the face. And funny enough, what I would do 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:37.480 while I was going to the gym was I would 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.560 always grab ice cubes and roll them up in a 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.240 little napkin and like put them on my eyes to 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:47.119 help like my eyes from like depuffing and tightening and stuff. 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.400 So anything that's cold is good for your skin. It's 0:05:49.400 --> 0:05:52.120 great for your skin. Even when I shower, I shower 0:05:52.200 --> 0:05:53.800 with like warm water. I do the whole thing, and 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:55.760 then right before I get out, I do like as 0:05:55.760 --> 0:05:58.640 cold as I possibly can. It's just so good for you. 0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:02.720 All you do is just I mean, could be a 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.760 little inconvenient, but you know you have to go downstairs 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:07.280 or you have to go to your refrigerator from your 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:10.159 bedroom and grab the ice cubes. You know, I know, 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.680 but again, these are all things that are great for 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.480 you and the super beneficial, so I think it's worth it. 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:17.680 Just wake up a little earlier and do it. And 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.520 I just grab a normal bole, fill it up with 0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:22.880 cap water, put some ice, wait for it to melt, 0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:26.800 and then I plunge my face about three times, and 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.719 I do it for ten to fifteen seconds at a time. 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:31.880 You have to hold your breath, obviously, and then just 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:37.520 count in your head slowly one, two, three, you know, 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:40.360 until you get to ten or whatever you can handle, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.880 because after the first time, your nose gets a little numb. 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:47.040 But the tightness, the depuffing you guys, amazing. So let 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.480 me read because this is straight from the internet, guys, 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:51.599 so it's not something that I made up. I wanted 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:53.360 to make sure that I'm giving you guys the right information. 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.840 Dunking your face in cold water or using ice tools 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.679 to stimulate blood, float and refresh the nervous system. Okay, 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.839 and these are the benefits. Reduces puffiness and tightened skin, 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:10.240 Booth circulation and glow, calms the nervous system and stress response. 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:15.880 Supports lymphatic drainage okay, depuffing huge and my rosacea. It 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:20.840 helps with my roseacea, helps regulate oil production and skin clarity. 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.320 But also, guys, it's like a free natural facelift and 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:27.600 a mood reset because it does. I feel like it 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:28.960 wakes me up and I'm like ready to go to 0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.320 the gym. It's it's like a little bit of a 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.040 pre workout. It's amazing. Or if you just if you 0:07:33.080 --> 0:07:35.200 don't want to work out, like if you have a 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.120 meeting or word, don't, it's so good. I love it. Plus, 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:41.160 it trains your nervous system to handle stress more calmly. 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:46.040 That is the truth. And I have been experiencing it. 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:47.800 I haven't been doing it for long, guys, it's been 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.440 a month, but I am loving it and I highly 0:07:50.480 --> 0:08:00.559 recommend it. Try it or not, it's up to you now. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.680 Breath work is another one. Okay, I've been doing breath 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.280 work for a long time, and I freaking love it 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:09.680 and I want to talk about it because sometimes obviously 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:12.160 we're breathing, like right now, I'm like breathing, But when 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:19.640 you breathe intentionally, like hold it. And then when you 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:22.880 do those things when I'm stressed out, when I'm having 0:08:23.080 --> 0:08:26.840 a bad day, which I've been experiencing lately, a lot 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:30.080 has been going on, I'm like, Okay, we can change 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:33.319 our entire mood, guys, with just taking a deep breath 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:42.680 and letting out the stress. Even making that noise does 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:46.600 something to your shoulders, to your neck. It resets your mind. 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.400 And this is what the internet says. Okay, just so 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:52.760 you see that it's true, and I'm just here to 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.880 tell you and affirm it and confirm Okay. Intentional breathing 0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:03.680 practices to activate healing, calm, and connection. It clears stagnant 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:10.199 energy and emotional blocks, regulates the nervous system, reduces anxiety, panic, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:13.720 and overthinking. Very true. Here's a big one for the 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.760 women and for men, but mainly for us women. Lowers 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:22.360 cortisol and inflammation. Okay, we hear a lot of inflammation. 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.880 You see, everything is inflammation. I don't know if you've 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.559 seen that so far. But inflammation, guys, it lives in 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.559 our body. And we talked about this guys with a doctor, 0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:34.440 a holistic doctor here on Cheeki's and Chills. So check 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:38.840 out that episode. Because inflammation, you guys, is a real thing, 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:44.440 and that's why turmeric is very important to take. I'm 0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:47.040 not a doctor again, I'm just suggesting these are things 0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:53.480 that have helped me. Because inflammation causes disease. It also 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:58.000 can cause cancer. There's a lot of inflammation in the body, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.240 in the gut, in the organs, you guys. So breath 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:05.120 work again, you can look up on YouTube and there 0:10:05.160 --> 0:10:06.400 are a lot of apps. There are a lot of 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.080 people on TikTok as well doing breath work and teaching 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.560 people how to do the square. I think it's I 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:16.160 believe it's called square breathing. Amazing. Guys, you heard all 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.880 of the benefits. Look it up, see what works best 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.120 for you. Okay, if that's something that interests you. But 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.080 another thing is mouth taping at night. Okay, I've heard 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.520 about mouth taping a lot. One of my friend's husbands 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:32.000 does it and he said, hey, Cheeky's, I super highly 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:35.240 recommend it, and I ignored it for a while until 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:38.920 I saw an ad that came up, and I think 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:40.800 because I had been talking about it, it came up. 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.400 And what caught my attention was that it can also 0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.120 help with the excess fat under our chin. So with 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.000 the jaw line, I'm super obsessed with, like making sure 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:51.720 my jawline looks good right now. I don't know why, 0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:53.720 but it's like I'm doing exercise, I'm doing all these 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:56.040 things for it. So when I saw that, I was like, hey, 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:58.680 I'm gonna try it and see. And then I saw 0:10:58.800 --> 0:11:00.520 and I researched all the benefit and I'm like, oh 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.680 my god, this is amazing. I should have listened to 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.160 Rob my friend's husband a long time ago, because he's 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:08.160 been doing it for a long time. Okay, so what 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:11.520 is it. It's lightly taping the mouth closed at night 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:15.600 to encourage nasal breathing after COVID. Guys, I got COVID 0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:19.000 three times. It messed up all my sinuses and my 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.880 nose has never been the same. So I started breathing 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:24.680 through my mouth a lot, especially when I was asleep, 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.040 and obviously that's not good. So moving forward, what I'm 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:33.439 saying is improves oxygen intake and sleep quality. It really 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:38.520 does supports oral health and prevents dry mouth, reduces snoring 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:41.360 and jaw tension. That's where the jaw thing comes in, guys. 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:45.880 Supports heart and brain health. I've noticed I have a 0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:48.040 clearer mind when I wake up. I'm not even lying. 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:54.400 It also encourages proper facial structure and nitric oxide production. Guys, 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.480 these are all great things. And no, you're not gonna 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.640 grab some tape from like your drawer and put tape 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.600 on your mouth like they have special tape that's not 0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:05.640 going to irritate your skin. I have very sensitive skin, 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.840 and I found a good tape that says, okay, great 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:10.959 for sensitive skin. You can find it at you can 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:13.959 find it on Amazon. You can find it. Just google 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:16.520 mouth tape and a bunch will come out. I'm not 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.319 gonna recommend the one I use, because the point here 0:12:19.440 --> 0:12:21.520 is you guys, doing your own research and seeing what 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:25.320 works best for you. But I have felt the difference, 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.319 like I have slept so good. I put it on 0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.320 Emilia the last two nights and he told me, he's like, Babe, 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.880 I don't know if it's the tape or I don't 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.160 know if it's because we're not smoking right now cannabis. 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:39.120 He's like, but the dreams that I've been having have 0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.120 been so vivid. He's like, I had some deep, deep sleep, babe, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:46.440 And I think it has to do with the mouth tape, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.560 and I've seen him wake up with more energy. Try 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:58.760 it and then you decide. But it is amazing. I 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:00.880 don't know if you guys have heard about red light therapy. 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.680 I have been doing that for a while, and I 0:13:03.720 --> 0:13:08.040 started doing it because I have very poor circulation, and 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.199 that's something that I've known for a long time. And 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.240 I do the vibrating plate and the red light therapy 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:15.959 can be pricey, I will say that, but there are 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:18.400 places that are offering it. It's coming up a lot more, 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:20.920 and I wanted to just bring it up because it 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.000 is something that I think is important for all of us, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:27.400 because a lot of us don't get a lot of 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.840 sun exposure. There's nothing better than the natural sun. But 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.880 red light therapy is different and it has a lot 0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:37.120 of great benefits. And I have seen and have felt 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.079 a big difference. And I wish I would have known sooner, honestly, 0:13:40.120 --> 0:13:42.599 like in my twenties, because I think it would have 0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:46.080 helped my circulation a lot. Yeah, because I get a 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:49.400 lot of water retention and stuff like that, and I 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:50.760 think I would have been able to prevent it a 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.160 lot sooner. But anyway, we're learning, we're living and learning, okay. 0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:58.360 So it is a healing treatment to promote regeneration at 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:04.800 the cellular level. It boosts collagen and skin elasticity. It's 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:07.240 very hard for me to say that word, but elasticity 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:12.680 reduces wrinkles and sun damage, m M calms, ro satia, 0:14:12.760 --> 0:14:15.800 and acne. I have roseatia. It's been helping that a lot. 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:21.760 Enhances thyroid and hormonal health, speeds up muscle and joint recovery, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:28.840 reduces inflammation in the body. Inflammation again, it is great. Again, 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.960 I have, you know, bad circulation. I'm trying to like 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:38.680 age gracefully. So wrinkles, it has been phenomenal. It also 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.520 helps again with your joints. I do it like three 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.720 times a week. I sit in front of my light. 0:14:45.600 --> 0:14:47.720 It is important to buy if you're going to purchase one, 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:50.720 to buy a quality like look at the reviews and 0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.000 make sure that it is a high quality red light 0:14:54.760 --> 0:14:57.320 because there's some that are out there. Because it's becoming 0:14:57.360 --> 0:15:01.440 so popular, guys that don't buy just a cheap one 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:03.120 because you know, I know, I'm telling you. I know 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.520 it could be expensive, but it has to be a 0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:07.800 good one. So please look at the reviews. That's one 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:11.640 thing I will tell you, because I almost got bumboozled 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.400 and bought one that was like, Okay, it's like less expensive, 0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.440 but it was not. It was actually going to cause damage. 0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.160 So that's why I'm saying, make sure you're reading your 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.560 reviews and doing your research on whatever it is that 0:15:23.600 --> 0:15:26.520 you're buying. But again, there are places a lot of 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:28.200 spas are coming out and they offer it and you 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:30.120 could do it once a week and they have like 0:15:30.160 --> 0:15:32.880 these full body ones. It helps with scars as well, 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.680 like if you have scars. I have scars from like 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:37.480 my boob reduction, and I feel like it's been helping 0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:41.440 flattening them out as well and lightening them. So highly 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:42.920 recommend it. And you know what, I'm not going to 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:44.480 go into the other ones that I had because I 0:15:44.520 --> 0:15:47.800 was going to talk about daily detalks body brushing. You guys, 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:49.640 I don't want to get into the details because I 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.240 want to make this as short and pretty and informative 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:54.640 as I possibly can. But if you guys like this episode, 0:15:55.120 --> 0:15:56.440 let me know. If you want to hear about these 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.640 other things. I will gladly elaborate and talk about it 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:02.720 a little bit more. But look into it. The daily detalks, 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.800 especially the liverty talks. We talked about that before. Body brushing, 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:10.200 wearing a night guard, daily movement, all that stuff. We 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:11.840 can get into the nitty gritty if you want a 0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.840 second part of it. But I did want to talk 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.560 to you guys about inflammation and how important it is 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.280 to reduce it in our bodies by not only taking supplements, 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.800 speak to your doctors right about supplements, but also by 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:29.000 not eating certain things. And if you guys want to 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.600 know a little bit more about certain foods and how 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:36.480 it affects your skin and your health. Followed doctor Julie Greenberg, 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:38.160 and we also have an episode with her, so you 0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:40.360 can go ahead and listen to it. So, too much 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:45.040 inflammation can lead to hormonal imbalances, Okay, something I've dealt with, 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:47.360 And a lot of things that we eat, guys, A 0:16:47.360 --> 0:16:50.360 lot of the stuff that's in our food is causing that, 0:16:50.480 --> 0:16:52.560 and is causing even the stuff that we put on 0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:55.040 our skin. If we're putting too much fragrance on our skin, 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.000 on our body, you guys, it will cause a lot 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:04.200 of hormonal imbalances, okay, autoimmune disease, heart problems, fertility struggles, 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:10.199 mental health challenges, chronic pain and fatigue, premature aging, and 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:12.359 autoimmune disease. Guys, that for me is one of the 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.879 biggest things, especially for disease and if you're trying to 0:17:14.880 --> 0:17:16.479 get pregnant and all that stuff, which is why I'm 0:17:16.560 --> 0:17:19.119 changing the way that I'm eating and changing my lifestyle 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.400 and taking things out of my house that aren't good 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.000 for me. Even my lotion, my body lotion right now 0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:28.480 is fragrance free. I am really looking at the ingredients 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:30.320 and making sure that the things that I'm putting on 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.800 my body and putting in my body, foods and everything, 0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:39.480 the less ingredients the better, Okay. And reducing inflammation helps 0:17:39.520 --> 0:17:44.320 you prevent disease, reclaims your energy, regulates emotions, heal, naturally, 0:17:44.600 --> 0:17:48.840 feel vibrant, present in your body. And I'm not gonna lie. 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:51.280 I do feel a lot better and I do have 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.879 a lot more mental clarity. So I just wanted to 0:17:53.920 --> 0:17:57.000 have this episode. Sorry. I know we talked about a 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.320 lot of different things, and I wanted to make it short, cute, 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.760 and informative, but hopefully some of this stuff will help you. Again, 0:18:03.840 --> 0:18:06.160 I know it's a lot of information, but just choose 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.880 one to start with, one that resonates with you, one 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:10.880 that you're like, Okay, this one I'm going to start 0:18:10.920 --> 0:18:12.560 with because I know it's a lot to do at once, 0:18:13.320 --> 0:18:15.080 and if you do want to know a little bit 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:16.760 more about things, because I do a lot of different 0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:20.040 things now, things that are making me not only feel better, 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:22.520 but I feel like even look better, like more vibrant. 0:18:23.440 --> 0:18:25.080 And I just want to share because you know, chickens 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:27.560 and chill is all about that, about sharing, because I 0:18:27.600 --> 0:18:31.440 care about you.
