Speaker 3: eat salami? Oh I haven't.

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Oh good point, I didn't think about that. Well, some

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: nurses eat salami.

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 2: I think, well, that's kind of my specialty is food

39
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: and talks.

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: And well that's okay perfect. I wasn't even I wasn't

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: ready to go here yet. I wanted to have twenty

42
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: more questions. But let's go, because you just you just

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: heat it up, Okay, So tell me what is that is?

44
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Your passion is the food and the toxins. So how

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: about is salami because I have one child who adores it.

46
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: Well, I had a pretty gnarling microbiology class where I

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: had to slice pork underneath the microscope. They all have worms.

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 2: I'll never eat pork. But besides that, it's cured. It's

49
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: so salty. It's not great in any form. It was

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: ultra processed.

51
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: I'm literally hungry, and I was gonna go out and

52
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: have a cracker and a salt.

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: Now I'm not.

54
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: You're going to talk with a cracker.

55
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: Okay, Now what about the cracker.

56
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 2: It's pure sugar. It turns into sugar. It's a protein.

57
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: You eat.

58
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: What do you eat before we get into your amazing business,

59
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: because now I feel like you eat nothing.

60
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 2: Well, I eat whole food from the earth, all protein, vegetables.

61
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 2: So you're a vegan, No, I'm not.

62
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: So we'll eat chicken or I eat all protein, all

63
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: protein except pork, except pork.

64
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, So tell me.

65
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: You are a nurse, and I know you're out of

66
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,639
Speaker 1: a divorce, but I want to ask first of all,

67
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 1: what age, Like, how long have you been nursing?

68
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Since I was twenty two, okay, and.

69
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: Then you just recently divorced. Please tell the audience about

70
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 1: that a little quickly. I know you don't want to

71
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 1: get too into it, but give me a fine.

72
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, so help me.

73
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 2: To a functional medicine doctor. We kind of went back

74
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 2: to school together, so I learned everything that he learned

75
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: and helped him in his business. Then we left Texas

76
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: to escape his parents because they were ruining our marriage.

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 2: They followed us out to Malibu. I said I'm leaving

78
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 2: and started my own practice. Basically, that's the short version.

79
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Wow, so this is how many how many months or

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: years is this new business?

81
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Oh? Six years on my own okay, yeah.

82
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: And so tell real quick fill us in on exactly

83
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 1: what this business is, because then I have a few

84
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: more questions about the business.

85
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, when I was in Dallas, I had an

86
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: esthetic practice, but that's not my passion. I do all that,

87
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: the bota, the lasers, all the things, but my passion

88
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 2: really is making people feel better and live better. So

89
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: I'm very into weight loss. I kind of got well

90
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: known for it because I was using the golp ones

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: before ozimpic was a word, before it came out.

92
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: I think you might need to let the listeners know

93
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: what a gop one is.

94
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, So GLP one is like ozimpic and Waga v Mondurro.

95
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: So ozimpic is the same as a gop one.

96
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: That is a GLP one Oh it is okay, Yeah,

97
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 2: it's a GLP one agonist.

98
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: And so you did use that or you just do?

99
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: You do give that to your patients, I mean you

100
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: personally use it.

101
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 2: I give it to everyone, and I use it. I

102
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 2: use it for inflammation. Wow. But why I was bringing

103
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: that up is because that's how it became well known.

104
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Like I got a bunch of celebrities ready for a role, okay,

105
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: made them be really really skinny and got them back

106
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: to health. And so I'm kind of well known for that.

107
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 3: Okay.

108
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: So when you say celebrities, is it mostly men or women?

109
00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 2: It's both.

110
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 1: So you don't have like a forty percent more than

111
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: like women sixty percent men kind of thing.

112
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's probably seventy percent women, Okay, but actor

113
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: wise it's pretty more.

114
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: Are these women or and the smaller amount of men.

115
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: Are they super overweight or are they like me where

116
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: we could just take off a couple like just a

117
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: couple shots to take off a little bit of the flab.

118
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 2: It's both. I have people that lose hundreds of pounds,

119
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: and I'll let people lose two pounds.

120
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: So you don't think that this ozembic type medication or

121
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: drug is as unhealthy for a period of time.

122
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: I think it's unhealthy if you do it incorrectly, which

123
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 2: is wildly what happens.

124
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

125
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: So I dose everyone based on how they're reacting the

126
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 2: week before weekly and I watch their diet. I go

127
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: of their diet every week, make sure they're eating protein,

128
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 2: not losing muscle. But it's so prevalent now people just

129
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 2: take in huge doses. They're not being monitored. They're going

130
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: to and they're gonna end up worse and they won't

131
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: be able to come off well. And I've heard, I've heard. Okay,

132
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: this is so fascinating to me, and we don't have

133
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: enough time for this. So I've got to, like, I've

134
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: got to choose my questions. I feel like I could

135
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: talk to you for an hour about this and really

136
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 2: ask things that I'm dying to know right now, but

137
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: I need to try to keep it condensed. So if

138
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 2: when you watch their diet, does that mean you put

139
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,359
Speaker 2: them on a diet plan like no bread, no crackers,

140
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: no salami. So No, I do not put them on

141
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 2: a diet because it's not realistic. I have them fill

142
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 2: out of food diary and slowly I change their habit,

143
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: got it so that they don't spike their insulin. That's

144
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 2: really what I'm going for. Wow, spiking insulin. We don't

145
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: count calories, We have enough protein, we don't spike insulin.

146
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 3: Do they get to have a piece of bread?

147
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: No, So you're basically on a protein and vegetable and

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: starch diet like a potato kind of thing.

149
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: Much.

150
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: I mean, this is good for me to know because

151
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: you know it's probably and change my meal tonight that

152
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: I order.

153
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm not going.

154
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: To go on zimbic people. I'm scared.

155
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 3: I'm kind of scared of it.

156
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: So is the rumor true that this does cause stomach

157
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: shoes in the long run.

158
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: So again, if you overdose yourself, you can slow down

159

Speaker 2: monitored by someone that knows what they're doing, that's not

163
