0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I won't let my body out out way everything that

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:07.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm made do. Won't spend my life trying to change.

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm learning to love who I am. I get I'm strong,

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I feel free, I know who every part of me.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>It's beautiful and then will always out way if you

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.720
<v Speaker 1>feel it with your hare, she'll love to the boom.

0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I let's say good day and time did you and

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:38.280
<v Speaker 1>die out Happy Saturday, outweigh fam. My guest today is

0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Brooke Rozzie, and she is an expert in cycle sinking,

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>which is understanding how our hormones they fluctuate throughout different

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>seasons of our monthly cycle, and I recently had a

0:00:51.200 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>conversation with her for my other podcast, Four Things. It

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>hasn't aired yet, but it'll be up soon, so I

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.080
<v Speaker 1>definitely want y'all to go listen to that if you're

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:03.400
<v Speaker 1>curious about your monthly cycle and the four different stages

0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>that are happening during that. But I thought it would

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.639
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to have Brooke come on and talk about

0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:13.320
<v Speaker 1>our body since she's so knowledgeable and Brooke, you actually

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>have experienced within eating disorder from back when you were

0:01:16.200 --> 0:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>in high school, so I thought maybe you could share

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about your story entering into recovery and

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>why it is you do what you're currently doing and

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>you're so passionate about it, and how how our bodies

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>are designed and they weren't designed to diet and exercise.

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.759
<v Speaker 1>When I was young, I was overweight as a kid,

0:01:35.080 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and I don't exactly know when that came on, but

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 1>I lost the weight in sixth grade, and um played

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.760
<v Speaker 1>sports pretty easily, kind of kept it, maintained playing sports,

0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>but then um, when I stopped playing sports about midway

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>in high school, in my sophomore year, the weight started

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>coming back on. In hindsight, looking back on it now,

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I know that for so much of my life, I

0:01:57.520 --> 0:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>grew up watching dieting as a way, and it was

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of like this unspoken thing that like, if you

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to feel good in your skin, you needed a diet.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>And my mom was amazing, she was, you know, an

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>awesome mother, but watching her talks poorly about her body,

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:13.519
<v Speaker 1>always dieting. I grew up in what I call like

0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 1>the snack Wells generation. There's always slim fast shakes and

0:02:17.400 --> 0:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, metabolife and all those things in our home.

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>So I was kind of this unspoken message that I

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>received that if I wanted to feel good, I needed

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 1>to diet, and around sixteen years old that's when I

0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:30.800
<v Speaker 1>started to really do that. But I didn't have any

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>support into what it meant to support my body, or

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 1>what it meant to eat well or how to nourish

0:02:36.520 --> 0:02:39.639
<v Speaker 1>my body. So I would go into these different diets

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.040
<v Speaker 1>and then I wouldn't be able to maintain it. It

0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 1>would leave me binging, which would leave me feeling guilty,

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>which would leave me purging, and it just started the

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>cycle and I didn't know how to get myself out

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:55.799
<v Speaker 1>of it. And also during that time, I was put

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>on birth control because I was having you know, strong

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>PMS symptoms, and then I was note weight gained from

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.239
<v Speaker 1>the birth control, and I just kind of stayed stuck

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>in the cycle of not knowing what to do until

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>I got into my younger twenties and I went back

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>to school and really started to learn more of how

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>food was impacting my body. And for me, knowing more

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>of the education was what I truly needed. I really

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>needed to understand how things were impacting me and how

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>to support myself the best. So going back to school

0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.000
<v Speaker 1>for it, I was able to kind of work through it,

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:27.640
<v Speaker 1>and working through in therapy a little bit with my

0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.640
<v Speaker 1>relationship and why I was doing those things. I was

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.519
<v Speaker 1>really able to understand more of what it meant to

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.720
<v Speaker 1>more nourish my body and start to shift my mindset

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>and my approach versus dietting and those things, and understanding

0:03:41.000 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>more that what it meant to nourish myself eat things

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that make me feel fueled and satiated for a meal

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>to meal and start to really tune into and that's

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>where I started to explore more of my hormones and

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>my cycle Moore, start to tune into how certain stages

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.360
<v Speaker 1>were impacting how I was feeling as well to be

0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>able to support myself through my hormonal stages of my

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 1>cycle as a woman. To A big part of my

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>recovery has been eating adequately. And I think when you

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>spend so much time in the diet world, which like you,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>I was exposed to dieting in my teenage years. I

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.760
<v Speaker 1>had a great mom, and my mom actually wasn't even

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>the first person I saw it from. For a little bit.

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:18.840
<v Speaker 1>We had a family that came to live with us.

0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>They had something going on in between houses, and my

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:24.480
<v Speaker 1>mom was always like open door. Yes, come live with us,

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 1>stay with don't don't pay rent somewhere, or just live

0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>with us for a few months. And that experience brought

0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>in these new foods of like spray butter and diet

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 1>drinks and everything diet and fat free and snack wells.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>I know you mentioned that, and I was like, oh,

0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel that snack wells generation right here, but that

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.359
<v Speaker 1>dieting at a young age. And that's what you know

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>in the restriction, And it's like finding your what is

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.240
<v Speaker 1>your even your baseline because you don't know because for

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:57.360
<v Speaker 1>so many years you've been manipulating it and in recovery

0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>figuring out, Okay, what is eating adequately for me? I

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>don't know, but I am here to offer hope that

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>it is possible to finally get there. It takes time

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:11.919
<v Speaker 1>and patience. But what's also interesting to me about your work,

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Brook is that different times of the month adequately will

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:19.840
<v Speaker 1>change because there is a season of our cycle that

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>requires us to consume more, like we need to eat more,

0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of times we're like, oh, why am

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>I eating this much? I can't maybe my periods coming,

0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>But you still don't really understand why it's happening, but

0:05:32.400 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 1>if you could just explain to us why it's happening,

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 1>and it's like, oh, this is your body telling you, hey,

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I need more calories eat, So don't ignore it because

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:47.600
<v Speaker 1>then it might lead to you restricting more when your

0:05:47.640 --> 0:05:50.880
<v Speaker 1>body definitely needs it, and then that's where another binge

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>comes into play. Yeah. Absolutely. I think the best way

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:56.359
<v Speaker 1>it was kind of pertained to me because when I

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.039
<v Speaker 1>first explored the idea of increasing my calories for a

0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks out of every month, it was scary,

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.680
<v Speaker 1>especially I think when you're in recovery from something, you

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>still have a little bit of that in you, and

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>so it was really scary to think, like, oh my gosh,

0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:11.160
<v Speaker 1>I just have to increase my food. So if you're there,

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel you and understand. And it actually, to me,

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the best way that I resonated with it was someone

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>told me they were like, well, what you know, what

0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that small little increase over like ten days does is

0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing compared to like, when I do let myself get

0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to that point if it turned into a binge or something,

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.720
<v Speaker 1>what that's going to do? Right, So it was more

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>of when I understood that, I was like, Wow, the small,

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit and knowing how to tune and trust myself

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and trust my body and tune into that tracking my

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.240
<v Speaker 1>cycle actually made that much easier for me. And being

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>aware of how to trust myself. So in that loo

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 1>real stage of our cycle after you've adulated, especially that

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>ten day period leading up to your period, your menstrual cycle,

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>your progesterone is usually more at a peak, and progesterone

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:58.680
<v Speaker 1>hormone is a pro thyroid hormone. They can give your

0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>metabolism essentially a little bit of a boost. So this

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>is why you can start to feel more hungry or

0:07:04.640 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>an increased statiation in this stage of your cycle. And

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>we do need to give it, you know, for talking medically,

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>we say about five to ten percent. This can obviously

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>very person of person, but um, giving yourself a little

0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 1>bit of that caloric boost and that stage of your

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>cycle can actually help your energy during that stage of

0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>the month. It can help prevent you from getting to

0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.120
<v Speaker 1>that point where it does kind of leave a little

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>bit more of that pre period binge. It can actually

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>help support your statiation through the day so that we're

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>honoring what our our hunger homloes and it actually can

0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 1>help support p MS too, if you are getting p MS. Usually,

0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.880
<v Speaker 1>I say, our body talks to us as a woman,

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 1>So sometimes those symptoms and things can be how our

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>body is letting us know, like hey, I need something.

0:07:45.960 --> 0:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Usually what we need in that stage of your cycle

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>is a little bit more of an increase of magnesium.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's why we can start to crave chocolate and

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that stage too, So kind of building that trust and

0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:57.840
<v Speaker 1>leaning into what your body is telling you in that

0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 1>stage can be really important. Another way that I get

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:05.760
<v Speaker 1>magnesium is through that calm drink. Are you familiar with that?

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I love the pink lemonade. I think I do a

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>teaspoon and I just mix it with water and I

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>drink it before bed. I also have some magnesium supplements

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 1>that I take from time to time before bed called

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Mago seven, and I don't do it all the time.

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.480
<v Speaker 1>But well, now that Brooke knows, because when I talked

0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>with her for my four Things podcast, I was like, Okay,

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 1>it's finally time I have the capacity to track. My

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>brain is ready for me to to take this on

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to start tracking my cycle. And so

0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.439
<v Speaker 1>now I'll know when I need to truly be intentional

0:08:39.559 --> 0:08:42.440
<v Speaker 1>of for sure, for sure taking these magnesium supplements. I

0:08:42.480 --> 0:08:45.640
<v Speaker 1>love the chocolates an option for sure, but that calm

0:08:45.720 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>drink also to me, it helps prepare me for sleep.

0:08:49.200 --> 0:08:52.199
<v Speaker 1>I get better night's sleep when I do it. Magnesium

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.839
<v Speaker 1>is actually really calming mineral, so it can actually be

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>very beneficial to sleep, important for anxiety. If you do experience,

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:01.480
<v Speaker 1>it can be amazing for that. The calm is actually

0:09:01.520 --> 0:09:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a good option. It's you'll see it in a lot

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:06.200
<v Speaker 1>of places. The one thing I look for. There's different

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.720
<v Speaker 1>forms of magnesium. Magnesium glycinate is one of the best

0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.040
<v Speaker 1>absorbed by your body and one of the best ones

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>for you to be taking, especially when we're talking hormonally

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>leading up to that stage of the cycle. So you

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>can find that in supplement form. It's a great one.

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Some of the calm drinks do have a glycinate form.

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>Some of them are a citrate form. So I will

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 1>say if you have taken calm in the citrate form,

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>it can disrupt your digestive system or your bowels a

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.960
<v Speaker 1>little bit. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. So if

0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>you've noticed that, maybe try switching over to a glycnate

0:09:35.520 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>form and see if that helps. Oh. Interesting, I love that.

0:09:38.320 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I just learned that, And now next time I buy

0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>a bottle, I'll look for the glycerate because I think

0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>mineus sitrate. Yeah, but I'm now I'm going to look

0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>for that. See, we're learning. I love learning about new things.

0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>To take something else. I've started taking two before bed.

0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's gava or gava. Are you familiar? Yeah, Gava? Okay.

0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>My neuro therapist, I get feedback. That's what I'm doing

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:04.480
<v Speaker 1>right now to help treat some A D D d

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.760
<v Speaker 1>h D symptoms. And she told me I need to

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:09.960
<v Speaker 1>start taking it to help I don't know, disrupt some

0:10:10.040 --> 0:10:13.520
<v Speaker 1>neurotransmitters in my brain and like calm some things down. Yeah,

0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>you have neurotransmitters that play a role and communicate with

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>your hormones as well. And a lot of times we

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of undervalue vitamins and minerals and how important they are,

0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>but they're literally the precursors or the communicators in so

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>many different enzematic processes in our body. Magnesium, for one,

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>is responsible for over two semetic processes in your body.

0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>So for deficient in magnesium, a lot of those things

0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:39.320
<v Speaker 1>can be disrupted. Sometimes it's the simple things that we

0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>need to prioritize first before we try to get into

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the detail stuff. So if you're listening, one of the

0:10:44.760 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>first things I have a lot of my clients do,

0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.200
<v Speaker 1>if they're not implementing its implement some sort of magnesium supplement,

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>and they'll notice their sleeping better, they might feel more

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>calm during the day, and they might notice that anxiety

0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:58.679
<v Speaker 1>can sometimes come down a little bit too from it. Okay,

0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.800
<v Speaker 1>good to know. I saw something on your website like

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>our body wasn't made to diet and exercise. So talk

0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:10.160
<v Speaker 1>about that statement so often, and I remember for so

0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>much of my life we were, and I see it

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot with women, is like, well, what diet should

0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 1>I do? It's the main question I get. Should I

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 1>be doing Keto? Should I do Paleo? Which diet should

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.120
<v Speaker 1>I do? And my answer really is whatever is the

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>best for you, whatever is the best that makes you

0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>feel good, that gives you the energy that you need

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 1>to and supports the way that you're meant to function.

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I think of a lot of times as women, we

0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.440
<v Speaker 1>try to fit ourselves into this little box, and our

0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>body was never meant to fit into that little box.

0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>We try to fit like, well, I'm going to do

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.240
<v Speaker 1>this diet and then we try to adjust our lifestyle

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.440
<v Speaker 1>to that diet, and instead I try to think what

0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.079
<v Speaker 1>intrition do you need to support your lifestyle and what

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you need And there's no specific diet that's going to

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.240
<v Speaker 1>do that for you. It might be a combination of

0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 1>several different things and whatever your body hormonally, etcetera. Needs.

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I have hypothyroids, so what my body needs is probably

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>not going to be what another woman body needs, and

0:12:00.760 --> 0:12:03.160
<v Speaker 1>what foods I feel good with is probably not going

0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:06.400
<v Speaker 1>to be what another one does. So so much we

0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>think of like what's the diet and exercise, when there's

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:11.360
<v Speaker 1>so many other pieces to the puzzle that can really

0:12:11.360 --> 0:12:14.280
<v Speaker 1>come into play with how we're feeling, especially if you

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:17.400
<v Speaker 1>are someone that has disordered patterns or you're in a

0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.360
<v Speaker 1>needing disorder. Some people have disordered behaviors and they don't

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.880
<v Speaker 1>even realize it yet, but you're starting to get curious,

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and if you might be one of those people that's

0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.679
<v Speaker 1>curious and that's why you're even listening to this podcast,

0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>or if you're in recovery, I mean, that's when you

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.040
<v Speaker 1>also get to assess, like, Okay, none of these diets

0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>might be good for me, But then when you start

0:12:34.520 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>to become in tune with your body and realize what

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.959
<v Speaker 1>it truly needs, then you can start to take little

0:12:38.960 --> 0:12:41.679
<v Speaker 1>bits and pieces from each thing and then you you

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>form what is best for you so you feel you

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>feel your best according to you, not anybody else or

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>what anybody else is doing. And I think that's what's

0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:52.559
<v Speaker 1>so frustrating with some of my friends that are dietitians

0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 1>and therapists is like just people online everyday, people that

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.600
<v Speaker 1>have no education or background, and what they're saying, they're like,

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>here's what I ate today, you know, basically saying, eat

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.120
<v Speaker 1>exactly like I ate today, and your body will look

0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>like mine, not sharing any of their genetic info with

0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you at all in any way, shape or form, where

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>if you were to like go look at their mom

0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:16.760
<v Speaker 1>and their Grandma's like, okay, genetically, this is how they look.

0:13:16.800 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>And oh, by the way, we don't all have to

0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.760
<v Speaker 1>strive to look that way. Our bodies were created very,

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>very differently, but society has told us that there's this

0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>standard way to look and that's just untrue and a

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 1>lot of what we're having to unlearn and Lisa Haim

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:35.160
<v Speaker 1>who is the co founder of Outweigh with Me. She's

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:39.400
<v Speaker 1>the registered dietitian that's normally on and she recently put

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>up an Instagram post. I guess I say recently, but

0:13:42.400 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 1>it was from March eight and I even shared this

0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>one on my four Things podcast because I loved it

0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:50.720
<v Speaker 1>so much. But she titled it unpopular opinion. We don't

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.520
<v Speaker 1>have to fit neatly into boxes. And then she just

0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.440
<v Speaker 1>went on this whole thing about how we don't need

0:13:56.480 --> 0:13:59.440
<v Speaker 1>to label the way we think, eat, move, We don't

0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 1>need to use concrete sides. We can just be and

0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:07.280
<v Speaker 1>form our own thoughts and honor our own needs and

0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>stay true to who we are and that you know,

0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we don't have to be vegan. We don't have to

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.360
<v Speaker 1>be that you don't have like and for me, I

0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:18.400
<v Speaker 1>when I was in you know, knee deep into my

0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:21.280
<v Speaker 1>eating disorder, I had all kinds of labels and I

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:24.320
<v Speaker 1>was an expert on so many different things. But then

0:14:24.320 --> 0:14:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I felt weird about it because people would come to

0:14:26.200 --> 0:14:28.800
<v Speaker 1>me and then I felt uncomfortable because it's like, wait,

0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:31.360
<v Speaker 1>why are they coming to me with these questions? But

0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>it was because I presented myself as this expert of

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.280
<v Speaker 1>health and wellness because it's all that consumed me. It's

0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 1>all I talked about. It didn't really register to me.

0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:42.960
<v Speaker 1>And then I when I had that aha moment, I

0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh, okay. And also I have no formal

0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:50.360
<v Speaker 1>training and education, so I should start shutting up. I

0:14:50.400 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 1>see a lot to the diets tend to lead us

0:14:53.280 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 1>to this all in or all out approach, and it

0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:57.760
<v Speaker 1>was all in or all out mindset, and it starts

0:14:57.800 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>to lead us down this path of like, oh, of gosh,

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.760
<v Speaker 1>well I didn't eat paleo this week, so I failed,

0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and we start to get into that cyclical place where

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 1>we really don't need to be. I think when we

0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>start to step away from that stop labeling ourselves. We

0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.640
<v Speaker 1>learned to give ourselves grace more. We learned to be

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.520
<v Speaker 1>more flexible with ourselves and what we're needing and know

0:15:14.720 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 1>that not every month, not every week or whatever is

0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:19.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be the exact same for us. And we

0:15:19.240 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>learn how to tune in and trust ourselves more because

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:24.040
<v Speaker 1>we've taken all those labels away and we have to

0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.680
<v Speaker 1>start to learn to rely on and support ourselves just

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>as we are. Love it well. Thank you for taking

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:32.760
