0:00:33.479 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>thanks for having me and the reason why I wanted

0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>Denisan Today you're saying nutrition, huh, Well, your gut is

0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>your second brain. So I didn't know how much what

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 1>I was consuming, what I was eating was affecting what

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>goes on between my ears. So I wanted to come on.

0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>She has so much wisdom and knowledge to give us

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>about what we eat and the inflammation that it causes,

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the anti inflammation that certain foods can actually help you with,

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.360
<v Speaker 1>could affect our brains and con affect our mental health.

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>And so she has something for everybody for you know,

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>people who can afford price, people who can't afford her price.

0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>So but I want to get into my journey. Okay,

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>which blew my mind. And I did a blood test,

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.120
<v Speaker 1>which is not a food allergy test, right, it's a

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>food sensitivity test to determine what is affecting what's causing

0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 1>me inflammation? Right? And folks, I was blown away the

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 1>things that were not just affecting me, but these were

0:01:26.040 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>like killing me. Right. Were I'll tell you what for

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>me it was bad for me? Was spinach, green apples, lemon. Wait,

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.040
<v Speaker 1>there's something else in there that would blow your mind. Spinach,

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:46.880
<v Speaker 1>green apples, lemon, ginger, No, soy peanuts was was in there? Carrots? Right?

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>These were killing me. They were causing me all sorts

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 1>of inflammation. And it was also turned out they were

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>causing me to have plaques, arriasis, sorrisis across my chest.

0:01:56.840 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>It's coming on my head. I was taking an inject

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Doble and a pill to slow my psoriasis. Denise found

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>out by this blood test what was causing me all

0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 1>its inflammation, and within thirty days my psoriasis is completely gone.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>My body fat was choop like I just the size

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>of my head shrank noticeably. And you think that if

0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:24.519
<v Speaker 1>I told you I was going to go on a

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>cleanse and just have green apples, spinach, carrots, and lemon.

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>You think I be the healthiest guy in the world.

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Instead it was killing me. So to these chime in here. Yes,

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>So when it comes to food sensitivities, there can be

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>a delay in a response. So you might be eating

0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>foods and feeling fine right now, but you might experience

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.800
<v Speaker 1>symptoms a couple of hours from now or a couple

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of days. So for you, if you're eating something like

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:54.360
<v Speaker 1>apples and not I do great with apples, but you

0:02:54.440 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>might actually be releasing what are called chemical mediators towards apples.

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Just to break it down, because your body is protecting you,

0:03:02.720 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>it's an immune response that is pro inflammatory, which then

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:10.920
<v Speaker 1>over time causes symptoms. So that could be something that

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>was causing the plaque, psoriasis, or even it could be

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>bloating or headaches. In so many different ways that you

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't connect to food. When you first got me on

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>and I was and I've done it twice now because

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 1>I did with you, and then when I went to Thailand,

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 1>I had to do it again. And but when I

0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>did it, I remember I was I was hosting Bella

0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>to R M M A and the producers came out

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>and said, we don't know what you're doing, which the

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>clearest you've ever sounded. Yeah, it definitely can help brain fog,

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>focus energy. It's fascinating. I felt like it was also

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>making my vocal cords inflamed, yeah, inflammation, and getting me

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>to slur. And I used to think I slurred a

0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>lot from getting hit the head so much, and it

0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>turned out it was more from this than getting my

0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, my head beat in for all those years.

0:04:02.320 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>So you know, again, give us and this is just

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>for me, folks. It doesn't mean that green apples are

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>bad with your, spinach is bad with you. And there

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.160
<v Speaker 1>are things that, by the way, like lamb was great

0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>for me, right, there are things that were like you'd

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>be like, what, how could this be red meat? Oh

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, no, And I know you try to get

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:19.640
<v Speaker 1>me off red meat. She also makes you when you

0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 1>do it, you can't drink for that month, no bread whatsoever, right,

0:04:23.800 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>no deal whatsoever. So why is that? What are you

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 1>trying to do to my my whole system? So what

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 1>we did is we tested a hundred and seventy different foods, chemicals,

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>and flavor enhancers. So it could be anything from caffeine

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>main foods such as you know, it could be chicken, salmon,

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.159
<v Speaker 1>and flavor enhancers all the way down to the nitty

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>gritty of black pepper, garlic, rosemary, these things that you

0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't think would cause an immune response, but they can.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.400
<v Speaker 1>So once we looked at that full profile of all

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the hundred and seventy items we tested, we get a

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>report back that lets us know if you had an

0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:05.600
<v Speaker 1>immune response to any of them, and that immune response

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.000
<v Speaker 1>is pro inflammatory, and then that's where symptoms over time

0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:12.200
<v Speaker 1>start to build up. Now, out of the hundred and

0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>seventy foods that we tested, we took all the foods

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.919
<v Speaker 1>that you had no immune response to, and you only

0:05:19.200 --> 0:05:22.599
<v Speaker 1>ate those for the first couple of weeks almost a month,

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>so we could calm down that inflammation start healing your system.

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 1>And then during that time we also keep out all

0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:34.880
<v Speaker 1>the untested items because there's over forty thousand ingredients in

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>a grocery store, so obviously we can't test all of those,

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:42.280
<v Speaker 1>so you're having only the low you know, non responsive foods,

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>no untested items, no alcohol, which is inflammatory, so we

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>have full control to calm down your system. Now when

0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>it comes to dairy, even individuals that may not come

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:58.560
<v Speaker 1>back sensitive to cow's milk or yogurt or any dairy products.

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.039
<v Speaker 1>We still keep it out at the beginning because a

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.480
<v Speaker 1>lot of how is our grass fed but grain finished

0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and in the grain could be corn, could be wheat,

0:06:08.600 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>and other foods that you are sensitive to. So we

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:13.960
<v Speaker 1>get it down to that small detail. So we do

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 1>have full controlled common inflammation that is food induced. How

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.440
<v Speaker 1>did you get involved in this in the first place. Well,

0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I've I've been a dietitian now for almost eighteen years,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and I specialize in two areas. I am a certified

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>specialist in sports dietetics, so I work with professional athletes,

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and I'm also a certified lifestyle, eating and performance therapist

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.520
<v Speaker 1>working with food sensitivities. Now, when I worked with athletes

0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:44.159
<v Speaker 1>for fourteen years, some of these individuals have a great team.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.840
<v Speaker 1>They have a personal chef, they have a dietitian, they

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>have coaches, performance specialists, and I would notice that their

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:54.320
<v Speaker 1>performance and their recovery wasn't where it should be. So

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:57.200
<v Speaker 1>I noticed, you know, if you're eating quote unquote perfectly

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and you have all these great team members helping you,

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.480
<v Speaker 1>and if you're not getting the results that you really

0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>should be. There was a piece that was missing, So

0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:08.479
<v Speaker 1>that's when I went back and started researching food sensitivities

0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 1>to find that missing piece. Talk about your brain, yes,

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>it absolutely does. Um there's also what's called a gut

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>brain access and that's a two way communication. So if

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we have inflammation and it's food induced. To any inflammation,

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>really it can interrupt and cause disturbances between cell communication,

0:07:31.560 --> 0:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>nerve communication, and systems. All the communication gets out of

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:40.280
<v Speaker 1>whack and the brain might not be able to produce neurotransmitters,

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>which are serotonin, dopamine GABA. Those are your feel good,

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:49.760
<v Speaker 1>your your mood enhancing neurotransmitters. So if the inflammation is

0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>not allowing our brain to produce those neurotransmitters, it can

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>affect our mood. But also if inflammation is present, it

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 1>can break down the bacterial floor. Are the good bacteria

0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>in our gut, and that bacteria does produce serotonin itself

0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:09.400
<v Speaker 1>up to the serotonin in your body is produced in

0:08:09.440 --> 0:08:13.880
<v Speaker 1>your gut, and also that bacteria metabolizes it and directs

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>a certain amount to the brain. So if you don't

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.080
<v Speaker 1>have good amounts of healthy bacteria from inflammation being present,

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>it can affect the amount of neurotransmitters that are released

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>for people who don't have to, you know, use your

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.680
<v Speaker 1>your services, give us a you know a lot of

0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.880
<v Speaker 1>things that can help us from gods that can just

0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>help the normal person absolutely. So first of all, cleaning

0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 1>up the diet the best that we can. So we

0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>may not know the triggering pro inflammatory foods, but we

0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:47.880
<v Speaker 1>want to make sure that we're increasing fiber through good

0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>whole grains, fruits, vegetables. We also want to make sure

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that we are decreasing sugars, decreasing unhealthy fats, and there

0:08:57.400 --> 0:09:00.599
<v Speaker 1>are some supplements that can help with healing the intestinal

0:09:00.679 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 1>track and also boosting different neural transmitters. So we could

0:09:04.920 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>bring in some probiotics the healthy bacteria. The fiber feeds

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>those so that keeps them very healthy and producing what

0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>we need them to produce. And also we want to

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure that if we're experiencing a lot of GI distress, bloating, cramping,

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, any of those GI symptoms. We also want

0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that we are hydrating that some supplements

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>such as L glutamine that might help with the healing

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:32.920
<v Speaker 1>of the intestinal track. Bringing some of those items in

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>and It really depends on each person. I always make

0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>sure that there's no family history or any allergies that

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>we would have to make sure to alter the protocol

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.920
<v Speaker 1>for the supplements. Where where does my good health affect

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.800
<v Speaker 1>my depression the most? Um Well, if you are eating

0:09:49.800 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>foods that are inflammatory, so ones that we find out

0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.000
<v Speaker 1>through the testing, or if we don't through the testing,

0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 1>we look at anti inflammatory foods and boosting those, so

0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.840
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna fluence your depression. If you're not eating well,

0:10:02.880 --> 0:10:05.440
<v Speaker 1>then we're not able to have our systems functioning well.

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>So your central nervous system isn't working well either, so

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>that gut brain connection. Individuals with depression, it is very

0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.360
<v Speaker 1>common that your brain might communicate to your gut that

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you're not hungry. You might lose your appetite others, so

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you're losing nutrients that also fuel the brain. Now, individuals

0:10:24.679 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>with anxiety, your brain might trigger the intestinal track to

0:10:29.040 --> 0:10:31.880
<v Speaker 1>stimulate diarrhea because it just makes you feel angst and

0:10:31.880 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it can cause diarrhea. Now, again, calming down inflammation by

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>eating good foods, hydrating, exercising, even good breathing techniques, it

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.680
<v Speaker 1>can boost all of this so that your mood can

0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:47.400
<v Speaker 1>can go up. Is there any food because I'm talking

0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:49.640
<v Speaker 1>about foods that seem like they're be great for people

0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.080
<v Speaker 1>that cause me inflammation? Are there any foods that are

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>universally great for all of us? Yes? I mean there

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 1>are a lot of foods such as avocado, eggs, salmon, pineapple,

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:04.360
<v Speaker 1>whole pumpkin seeds, Sesamese seeds. They have a good amount

0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:07.800
<v Speaker 1>of L tyresin, which is actually an amino acid that

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:12.800
<v Speaker 1>can boost neurotransmitters. Okay, what about the supplements that all

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of us supplements? Yeah, probiotics. Um, you have me on

0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.839
<v Speaker 1>like a gut health regimen, yeah, and which would help

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.439
<v Speaker 1>me a lot because that you also, we found out

0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:28.199
<v Speaker 1>that I had leaky gut. Yeah, leaky gut syndrome. Right, Yes,

0:11:28.520 --> 0:11:31.640
<v Speaker 1>leaky gut is a lot of things can influence leaky gut.

0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:34.200
<v Speaker 1>It's not a scientific term. It's more of a nickname

0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>for when you're intestinal lining becomes uh horace, so things

0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>can slip through into the blood and that triggers an

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:45.880
<v Speaker 1>immune response as well. So when it comes to leaky gut,

0:11:45.920 --> 0:11:50.199
<v Speaker 1>individuals can can have that due to genetics, can be

0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:52.839
<v Speaker 1>due to a lot of antibiotic use as a child.

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.240
<v Speaker 1>Let's say chronic air infections are struck throat um. It

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:59.240
<v Speaker 1>also can be influenced by the foods that we eat

0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:03.239
<v Speaker 1>and food that might be causing a pro inflammatory response.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>So what happens is partially digested food slips into the

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:12.040
<v Speaker 1>blood stream and you have an immune response. Food should

0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.640
<v Speaker 1>be fully digested all the way down to the small intestine,

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:19.120
<v Speaker 1>absorbed into the bloodstream and then we have nutrients for

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.680
<v Speaker 1>energy that will fuel your brain. Now for leaky gut,

0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.680
<v Speaker 1>we have to definitely clean up our diet and some

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>supplements that we gave you, um L glue tomine, We

0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>gave you vitamin D, probiotics, fish oils, and yours. We

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>look specifically I revived. Yeah, so that had that had

0:12:37.000 --> 0:12:40.200
<v Speaker 1>multiple components in there that were the L glue tomine,

0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:43.840
<v Speaker 1>especially that we're helping heal your gut, so that we

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.440
<v Speaker 1>didn't have things slipping through causing another immune response that's

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.839
<v Speaker 1>pro inflammatory. And when you first told me, I had

0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:53.520
<v Speaker 1>it with the leaky gut and there's something else you

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.439
<v Speaker 1>guys called it what was the other thing? Candida? Right,

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.720
<v Speaker 1>So with both of them, you're you and our friend

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Ja who helps me with my brain, helpful at all.

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, Hey, this is what's causing a

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of your system to be off, and that's causing

0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>you to overcompensate with a lot of your anxiety, with

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.320
<v Speaker 1>a lot of your depression. That your your systems off,

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>starting in your gut to everything else is going to

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>be off as a result. Yes, So candida is yeast,

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:20.320
<v Speaker 1>so a yeast over growth um in your intestinal track,

0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:24.720
<v Speaker 1>and that's just showing there's dyspiosis, meaning an imbalance of

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.720
<v Speaker 1>bacteria yeast. And again the bacteria is helping us and

0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>helping our brain. So if we have bad guys coming in,

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.320
<v Speaker 1>it's suppressing the good guys. And you've been working on

0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.640
<v Speaker 1>something else requently also kind of the other day you're like, oh,

0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to give me another week because I'm learning

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>about something else new because it's it's kind of yes,

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:45.560
<v Speaker 1>so it's very new when it comes to research, So

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna go to in depth. But they are

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 1>looking at something called leaky brain where chemicals are actually

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:57.000
<v Speaker 1>going through the blood brain barrier, which is causing disruptions

0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.079
<v Speaker 1>in the brain as well. No, I want you to

0:13:59.080 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>get more specific than the how do you know this? Like,

0:14:01.720 --> 0:14:04.080
<v Speaker 1>how do we we don't know. It's you know, it's

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>all about it's all about calming down the system. So

0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>right now they don't know exactly how this might be happening,

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's where the research is new. So if chemicals

0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>are going into the brain where there should be a

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>barrier that that should not be happening. If chemicals are

0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:22.440
<v Speaker 1>going into the brain, it's causing disruptions and that goes

0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>back to the brain in the central nervous system, communicating

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to all systems of the body, and that can affect depression, anxiety,

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and other mental health conditions. Before I let you go,

0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:35.880
<v Speaker 1>give me if you give me some examples of like

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the biggest transformations you've seen by people just figuring out

0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:44.240
<v Speaker 1>what was causing them inflammation and taking it out. Absolutely,

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 1>there's such a variety. It could be individuals that have

0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:52.240
<v Speaker 1>been experiencing extreme stomach pain and in intestinal pain since

0:14:52.240 --> 0:14:55.240
<v Speaker 1>they were little and now they're in their thirties and forties,

0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.080
<v Speaker 1>only a few weeks on the program of calming down

0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.760
<v Speaker 1>the system, it is gone. The pain is actually gone.

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 1>They've been going to doctors for years and years and years,

0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>so that gastro intestinal pain goes down. Other individuals that

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 1>experienced severe migraines um getting a couple of them per month,

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>and they could last a week, so they're debilitated there

0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:20.000
<v Speaker 1>in bed in the dark. The migraines almost completely go

0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.120
<v Speaker 1>away by calming down that inflammation. But some of the

0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 1>ones that were the most interesting to me, the most actually,

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I have an individual who had a bump on his leg. Okay,

0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:33.080
<v Speaker 1>he came to me for gastro intestinal distress, but he

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>did tell me I have this random bump on my

0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:38.720
<v Speaker 1>leg and I went to the dermatologist and she said,

0:15:38.800 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 1>it's benign, will track it, don't worry about it. We're

0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.320
<v Speaker 1>not sure what it is. After two weeks on the program,

0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:47.840
<v Speaker 1>it was gone, and it had been there for two

0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and a half years. That was the one that really

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 1>blew me away. So a pocket of inflammation, like what

0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.360
<v Speaker 1>is that? It's inflammation and the tissue. The dermatologists that

0:15:58.480 --> 0:16:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I have no idea how this program made that go away,

0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:07.040
<v Speaker 1>but keep doing what you're doing. And a couple others

0:16:07.040 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 1>that were really eye opening to me. I worked with

0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:13.200
<v Speaker 1>someone who had restless leg syndrome and one of the

0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:17.160
<v Speaker 1>chemicals that we tested was sorbic acid. So the another

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:20.360
<v Speaker 1>name for that in foods is sorbital. Have you seen sorbital.

0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.520
<v Speaker 1>It's a sugar alcohol. You even have it in let's say,

0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>toothpaste to make it sweeter, but it's not sugar. You

0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>find it in a lot of different supplements. You find

0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it in different products. If it's protein, powders um process products.

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>And she was taking a vitamin C pack in the

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.680
<v Speaker 1>morning to boost her immune system. And she's seventy five

0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:42.160
<v Speaker 1>years old. She's been taking this for years. And she

0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:44.520
<v Speaker 1>looked at it and she said, oh my goodness, it

0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:47.800
<v Speaker 1>has sorbital, and I am highly responsive on the food

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.640
<v Speaker 1>sensitivity test to sorbital. She took it out and her

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 1>restless leg syndrome completely calmed down. She's able to sleep again.

0:16:56.640 --> 0:16:59.800
<v Speaker 1>So little things like that, tiny changes, you know, the

0:16:59.800 --> 0:17:02.280
<v Speaker 1>big getting as you know, the program is hard at first,

0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>but we transition it into a lifestyle. So that one

0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:08.880
<v Speaker 1>really stood out to me. And I'll give you one more.

0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:12.119
<v Speaker 1>I have a seventy eight year old client client and

0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.199
<v Speaker 1>I have I work with one year old up to

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:17.280
<v Speaker 1>seventy eight right now, and the seventy eight year old

0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:19.720
<v Speaker 1>client has been having a lot of dental work done

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's been going in every few months, and he

0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:26.439
<v Speaker 1>went in last month and the dental hygiena said, what

0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.800
<v Speaker 1>have you been doing differently the inflammation in your gums.

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.080
<v Speaker 1>They're not bleeding, they're not swollen. What have you been doing?

0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 1>And he said, the only thing that I've done is

0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:39.320
<v Speaker 1>this program to identify foods that were causing inflammation in

0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 1>my body. It really is. I mean, I could go

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:47.359
<v Speaker 1>on and on. I'm fascinated by it. It's It's completely

0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.040
<v Speaker 1>changed how I've looked at nutrition. Again, I've almost been

0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.280
<v Speaker 1>a dietitian for twenty years and this has It's been

0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:56.080
<v Speaker 1>life changing for so many So it's something that I'm

0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.480
<v Speaker 1>so passionate about because I I take off of helping people.

0:18:00.160 --> 0:18:01.720
<v Speaker 1>I want to personally thank you. And that's why I'm

0:18:01.720 --> 0:18:04.160
<v Speaker 1>having you on here, because he changed my life. Man

0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:06.320
<v Speaker 1>certainly helped me. And I look, I fell off the

0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:08.960
<v Speaker 1>wagon halfway through the football season because that's just just

0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.240
<v Speaker 1>happens during football. But I'm going back to Thailand the

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:13.920
<v Speaker 1>day after the shoot ball, getting back on exactly, back

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.359
<v Speaker 1>on your regiment and anything, hoping to make that more

0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of a lifestyle change for me when I come back

0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:21.760
<v Speaker 1>from Thailand and not in the middle of the season,

0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:24.159
<v Speaker 1>and I've already seen how much it's It's helped me

0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.440
<v Speaker 1>again between the years, its depression, anxiety, the brain fog

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:31.199
<v Speaker 1>by vocal cords. I ute to be real raspy, and

0:18:31.200 --> 0:18:33.600
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden now I'm not as raspy because

0:18:33.640 --> 0:18:37.920
<v Speaker 1>of this. The psoriasis all gone. So if anybody wants

0:18:37.960 --> 0:18:40.920
<v Speaker 1>to sign up your program to have Denise tell people

0:18:40.960 --> 0:18:43.080

<v Speaker 1>our ears, and again, our our gut is our second brain.

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:10.320
<v Speaker 1>So Denise, thank you so much for walking. Let's walk together.

0:19:10.520 --> 0:19:12.280
<v Speaker 1>You're very welcome. Thank you for having me on
