WEBVTT - Let's Get Holistic with Elissa Goodman 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:06.000 This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:11.240 Chris Harrison Comedy from the home office in Austin, Texas. Today, 0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:14.160 you guys know that Laura and I love talking nutrition. 0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:19.919 Our guest today Alyssa Goodman, a holistic nutritionist and clense expert. 0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:22.800 She's based in Los Angeles. Don't judge her by that. She's, 0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:26.160 you know, not one of those crazy Cali cleansed people. 0:00:27.040 --> 0:00:29.440 Alyssa actually kind of came about this, and this is 0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:31.000 really what I wanted to talk to her about, is 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.280 how she came about this in her personal story and 0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:38.560 her journey having Hodgkins lymphoma, and one doctor in particular, 0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.559 one doctor finally stopped and asked the right questions. It's 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.680 a question that most doctors, and it's not against them, 0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.120 They're just not getting this kind of nutritional training. It's 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.559 just not how they go through school. It's not the 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:55.360 approach that our western medicine is taking with big pharma 0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.720 and surgery and getting you on drugs and trying to 0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.920 keep you on drugs. That's just not the approach. But 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.560 this one doctor changed everything and ended up changing her life. 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.160 It is an amazing story and I love her approach 0:01:07.200 --> 0:01:10.160 to nutrition. Wanted to have her on today to share 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:14.160 her story. So welcome to the show, Alyssa. Goodman, Alyssa, 0:01:14.160 --> 0:01:15.800 I'm so happy to have you on the show today 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.280 because I am Here's the thing, I'm not crazy about it, 0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.440 because I know people that are like there's a spectrum 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:23.680 to health and all this stuff, and you know there 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:28.000 is you know, the far far where they are just 0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.520 everything they do, touch, eat all that. I still live 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.280 my life a little bit. I'm not gonna lie. I'm 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.319 gonna have a glass of wine. If my daughter makes 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.520 chocolate chip cookies, I'm gonna have one. So you call 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.520 them cheats, call them whatever. I'm still gonna live. But 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:43.520 I would say overall, I would I'd like to think 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.960 I live a healthy life. It's important to me. And 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.080 I think that the more I've learned about gut health, 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:53.240 all of this stuff is so related to everything in 0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:54.240 our body. 0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:58.720 Right yeah, oh man, totally. I mean gut brain, you know, 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.200 all the things that have been happening, and also just 0:02:02.240 --> 0:02:05.040 in regards to like all the digestive issues that are 0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:09.919 coming up, you know that are just rampant, and also 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.160 your intuition and instincts in your. 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.919 Gut yeah, totally. Yeah. You remember, remember how we say 0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:20.840 a gut instinct, right, it's in the name. I've gotten 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.040 into this because I've just been I've been an athlete 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.320 my whole life, and I'm very active and I like 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:27.880 to stay that way. And but you got into this 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.640 because you were diagnosed with Hotchkins lymphoma and you're like, 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:32.120 I need to make a life change here. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.880 I really grew up like not a very healthy well kid. 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.800 I was, you know, sick a lot growing up, so 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:46.160 and psychologically everybody labeled me a sick kid. And then 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.600 my energy was always so low and just not you know, mentally, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:52.880 I wasn't really thinking straight. So I did go for 0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.919 sugar and caffeine. 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:57.440 And comfort foods. You would you would think I. 0:02:57.600 --> 0:03:01.400 Just a crappy uh. And so I got sick a 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:05.200 lot growing up over the years. And when I moved 0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:08.920 to New York from after college, I just kind of 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.840 was thinking, Okay, I'm gonna work my ass off, I'm 0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:15.239 gonna climb the corporate ladder, you know. And that is 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.519 what I was taught growing up in those days, and 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.640 just followed that same lineage of eating out late, lots 0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:27.720 of alcohol, you know, just really bad food, lots of caffeine, 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:28.919 and then. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:31.400 Lifestyle we all live as we get out of college 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:33.080 and start Yeah, that life. 0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:34.880 We're superhuman, right. 0:03:35.000 --> 0:03:36.480 Yeah, we're invincible at that age. 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.680 Right. So I said to my husband, who's from Queens, 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:41.960 like we're moving. We gotta move west. I gotta like 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.960 slow down, I gotta chill out, like New York is 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.720 not a place for me that I want to stay. 0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:50.800 And he was funny because he was like, you know, 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.400 he had never been to Los Angeles, so it was 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.960 like New Jersey. I'm not going to New Jersey, you know, 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:01.040 like like no La, you know. And he loved it. 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:03.400 He was a golfer and he came out here. And 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:06.280 then when I landed a job with Vogue magazine, which 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:10.560 I thought was the ultimate, which wasn't. I was diagnosed 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.320 with the cancer and it was an early stage, so 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:18.240 I was lucky. Early stage. Doctors still treating me like 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.520 it was stage four and I was going to die. 0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.200 But I did see one doctor out of all of 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.600 these doctors I saw during that time that said sat 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.440 me down. He was a radiologist from Saint John's and 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:33.120 he said, do you love your life? Are you happy 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:36.120 with yourself. Do you love yourself? Are you stressed? How 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.159 stressed are you all the time? You know, like, do 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.680 you love your job? What's going on in your world? 0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.400 And I was like, I have no idea what any 0:04:43.400 --> 0:04:46.359 of that means. Wow, I don't know what happiness is. 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:48.480 I don't know what I don't know what not being 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:49.440 stressed feels like. 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.599 So two things just struck me as you were saying that. 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.640 Number one, that someone had the wherewithal to talk about 0:04:56.680 --> 0:05:01.080 health prevention and getting in front of it, not through 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.159 drugs and pharma and all that. But also what struck me, 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.640 because this is what really scares me about the world today, 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:11.039 is that one doctor out of all the doctors you saw, 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:17.400 one talked about gut health, mental health, your emotions, all 0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.120 those things that play into this. And that's what scares 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.680 me today is that that is the approach and there's 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:27.039 very few people who study this. And you know, I talked, 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.560 I've talked to many doctors are like Chris, you we 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:33.480 spent a couple hours on nutrition, you know, and that's 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:34.520 crazy to me. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.720 I know, I know, it's just it is really wild 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.240 how how our medical community is set up, you know, 0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:44.880 and it's also set up with fear. So anytime you're 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.120 in fear mode, you know you're just not going to heal. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.640 Your body's not gonna reset. And also you're in fear, 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:54.839 your in stress and going back to the gut, you 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:56.640 know your gut's going to completely shut down. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.960 Yeah, well there and look, and I know you'll say 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:01.960 this as well, there is a time for surgery, there 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.880 is a time for medications. This you know, Western medicine. 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.560 Our advances are amazing and technology is a wonderful thing. 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:13.040 But at the same time, that shouldn't be our medical 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:16.400 approach right out of the gate to everything. It's like 0:06:16.600 --> 0:06:19.040 to have that conversation you had with that one doctor 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:21.880 from Saint John's God bless him like that. He was 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:24.480 put in your pershee whoever was put in your path 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:25.440 to have that conversation. 0:06:25.680 --> 0:06:28.200 I know, I know, I was so lucky. And then 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.720 that is when I started to change my life and 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.520 I went into you know, therapy, and I read every 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.480 self help book I could get my hands on, and 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.800 I started doing yoga and just breath work and meditation 0:06:41.160 --> 0:06:44.520 and journaling. And that was thirty two years ago. So 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:48.599 I mean I got lucky, and you know, had two girls, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.680 but had health issues because I did do some radiation 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.680 because the only reason why I did the radiation was 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.760 because my family and friends were freaking out that I 0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.760 wasn't going to do any Western meds. So I did 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:04.520 that and then I got hyper thousand hashimotos, celiac anxiety, insomnia, 0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:08.119 Like it was crazy. This stuff happened after that. And then, 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:10.760 as you probably know, my husband eleven and a half 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.320 years later after my diagnosis, was diagnosed with non hodges 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:19.600 liphoma and he passed away at forty five from the 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:23.720 Western meds like they did two bow marrew transplants in 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.520 a year and a half. He never was able to recover. 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.880 So his immune system gave out and he got fumbled 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.960 pneumonia and he passed away so young. And that's what 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:37.520 I was like, Okay, there's something not right here. 0:07:37.840 --> 0:07:39.720 So that made you dive even deeper into this. 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.760 I went back to school and got certified in Eastern 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:48.280 Western medicine, and then just everything kind of unfolded after that. 0:07:48.400 --> 0:07:51.960 It was like I became obsessed because I wasn't really 0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.080 feeling well and I was back being very tired and 0:07:55.120 --> 0:07:58.360 brain foggy and not sleeping well. When he passed away 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:00.640 thinking what am I going to do with my life 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:04.520 with two girls that had both had cancer? Like I 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:06.600 was going back into the fear mode. 0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:08.800 Yeah, of course you're like, oh my gosh, they're going 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.400 to have this and we're going to pass this on. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:14.200 And so when you dove back in, what did you 0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:18.040 take from this? What did you learn? Is there a 0:08:18.040 --> 0:08:21.080 world in which all these things can coincide and we 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.800 can coexist with Western medicine Eastern medicine and you know, 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:27.840 is is that a possibility on? 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:32.320 Yes, you could do. I feel like it's really important 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.960 to do both. You have to be your own health 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.120 advocate first of all. 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:38.040 That's so creaty huge, that's huge. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.480 And there are so many beautiful modalities out there that 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.880 are in you know, Chinese medicine and are you adic 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.880 like acupuncture and you know they are you adic eating 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:51.960 style and you got all the spices that are so 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.680 beautiful for you know health. I mean, there's so many 0:08:55.800 --> 0:09:00.120 beautiful modalities right now that are at our fingertips. So 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.120 I think if you feel like you need to do 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.080 some Western meds, you just need to balance it with 0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:09.600 the other because the holistic ways, because you know, the 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:13.120 Western meds really do you know, take us down, like 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:15.720 going back to the gut. You know, Western meds just 0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:19.320 deplete our microbiome like crazy, even ad built tail and all, 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:24.680 you know, allergy medicine just kill our microbiome and that 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.959 is so crucial. And none of us have enough beneficial 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:32.000 bacteria in our gut anyway, just from stress and life 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.920 and you know, over the years, so it's not just antibiotics, 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:39.560 but it's you know, bad food and water and you 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:40.800 know stress. 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:43.600 And what would you say overall? I know we're painting 0:09:43.600 --> 0:09:45.760 with a broad brush, so it's not like we're diagnosing 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.120 anybody in particular, but what are some broad brush things 0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:52.839 that all of us could do to just immediately this 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:55.280 week of better ourselves? 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:59.800 Easy and hard question at the same time, because there's 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.760 so many things that I'd love to tell people to do. 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:05.000 But I mean, we all know that sleep is crucial, 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.800 very underrated totally. Women need really eight to ten hours, 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:10.680 and they kind of like look at me, like what, 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.000 But we restore our We restore in our drenals, so 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:18.720 we really do need to restore properly, and eight hours 0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:20.560 is kind of the minimum. Men can get away with 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:22.439 seven because they don't restore. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.080 By the way. My wife Lauren reminds me of this 0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:26.000 all the time when she sleeps in a little bit longer. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.080 She's like, you know, women need more sleep than men. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.680 Is Okay, they do, they do, and that's when the 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.840 body resets, you know. And it also is when the 0:10:33.840 --> 0:10:36.640 body's detoxing through the night. Your brain's detoxing, your liver 0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:40.320 is detoxing, you know, So that that is just crucial. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.360 And I know we a lot, we have a sleep 0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:46.280 epidemic going on and it's really sad and hard. And 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.679 then I would say that hydration is crucial because two 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.200 to three percent you drop below your hydration level, your 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.000 brain's not going to work, your digestion's not going to work. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.000 You know, you're not going to be feeling good. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:02.120 And that's not much two to three percent. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.960 No, it's nothing. So we're we're we have all this 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.800 beautiful water at our fingertips, but we're just drinking it 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:11.640 and peeing it out because there's not enough minerals we're 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.600 not eating. They're not in our soil, they're not in 0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:16.440 our food, we're not absorbing them. That's what helps the 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:19.040 water go into your cells, so you're not just peeing 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:23.080 it out. And really hydrates you. So I have this 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.520 powder that I've used for years and years and years, 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:30.360 and I love it. It's called Ultima Replenisher, and I just 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:32.360 I dilute it because it has a lot of stevia 0:11:32.720 --> 0:11:34.840 and it's a little too sweet for me. But I 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.199 put a packet into thirty two ounces. I drink two 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:40.600 of those a day. It's life changing. And also getting 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.000 up and drinking two cups of water before you go 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:46.080 straight to your coffee because you haven't, you're dehydrated and 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:47.120 you have detoxing. 0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:51.880 The best analogy someone gave me about you wake up, 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.120 think of think of a wet sponge you would leave 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.520 out on your sink at night. You wake up in 0:11:56.520 --> 0:11:59.040 the morning. That's your brain, that's your body. It is 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:03.800 completely right up, it's completely and so you gotta soak 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.240 it in. You gotta replenish it. 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:07.880 I never heard of that. That's a great analogy. 0:12:08.200 --> 0:12:10.679 Like, you're right, Yeah, the sponge is all hard and crusty. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:13.600 Yeah, your organs are like most of your organs are 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.640 like that because they're squeezing out you know, toxins, and 0:12:16.640 --> 0:12:17.760 we are pretty toxic. 0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:20.280 So your muscles are repairing all night and it's like 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.920 your body's doing a lot of work. You gotta help 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:22.200 it out. 0:12:22.720 --> 0:12:25.360 When I was diagnosed with cancer thirty two, because I'm 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:30.280 sixty four today, but I basically started juicing, and I 0:12:30.440 --> 0:12:33.760 feel like that was sort of my like food based 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:38.320 multi vitamin. I have sense come like full circle into 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.680 I throw just my greens into a blender now, and 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:47.360 I make it really simple. Cucumber, celery, lemon, ginger, spinach, parsley, 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:52.480 you know, just really it's so nutrient dense, and I 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.040 keep the fiber intact because fiber is really crucial also 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.839 for us to detox. And I drink like sixty ounces 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.760 of that every day. I think that is a game changer, 0:13:03.040 --> 0:13:05.560 and you don't have to Juicers can be a pain. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.160 When I tell people over the years, you know, buy 0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:10.880 a juice or juice, They're just always like, I don't 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:12.840 want to do that. I don't want to clean. The 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:15.400 blender is easy. You pour some water in with those greens, 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.439 you get four to five cups of vegetables, and you're 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:20.600 you're supposed to get eight to ten a day. So 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.480 most people never get that. And I'd say that was 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.360 like my third thing. And also tacking on like making 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.120 sure the fiber you get enough fibers so you can 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:34.320 get food in and out of the system. You know, 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.480 it's not staying in there for your cogestive system. 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.439 Yeah, keep regular is there are so many diets. There 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.480 always have been, but you know today there's just different ones. 0:13:45.360 --> 0:13:46.959 You know, since I was a kid, there was there 0:13:47.000 --> 0:13:49.719 was diets, and and you know, you've fast forward to 0:13:49.800 --> 0:13:52.800 the carnivore diet to the you know, I only eat beets. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:57.840 I only you know, uh, wore cabbage soup. So what 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.040 I'm curious what your diet is. Are you ven? You vegetarian? 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.920 Are you what is your diet that you follow? 0:14:04.480 --> 0:14:08.480 So I would say that I am probably more like 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.040 I eat. I'm more Mediterranean, I'm more middle of the road. 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.839 I'm very plant forward. I have a cleanse. I don't 0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:19.480 know if you know that I have had for ten years. 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:23.440 I cook and deliver like four different cleanses, four different 0:14:23.440 --> 0:14:26.920 food programs to people in Los Angeles. And it's very 0:14:26.960 --> 0:14:30.000 planted forward because I'm just trying to get people to eat. 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.280 Like it's over fifty different vegetables in five days. It 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.000 has some bone broth, chicken broth on it. We are 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:38.680 now offering some animal protein for a lot of the 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.640 people who are more like on this carnivore diet, and 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:47.720 animal protein has become now the big thing vegetarian. 0:14:47.240 --> 0:14:49.560 Vegan, which just funny because that's what we have always 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:51.640 been eating. But now it's cool again, which is great. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.520 I know it's cool again, right, But I feel like, 0:14:54.680 --> 0:14:57.840 you know, as you age, we need protein, we really 0:14:57.920 --> 0:15:02.160 and we need amino acids complete and you know, especially 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.200 getting older, I feel like I crave more animal protein 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.680 and I basically feel better, you know, doing that. But 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:13.760 I just want people to know that we where the 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:18.200 good stuff is, the nutrients, that vitamin's, minerals, fider nutrients, antioxidants, 0:15:18.240 --> 0:15:21.400 the fiber is in the plants, you know, and also 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:25.360 not negating the legomes and beans for the fiber and 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.600 for the probiotics for your gut, and also not taking 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.400 away all the grains because it's like grain free diet 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:34.080 and all these things. But I feel like my cleanse 0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:38.840 gives you a ton of food, like it is, sometimes 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:42.320 more food than people can actually eat, and at the 0:15:42.480 --> 0:15:46.200 end of five days, they're completely different people. They're thinking better, 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.880 they're digestions better, they lose weight, they're like I eat 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:52.000 all this food and I lost weight, and I'm like, see, 0:15:52.040 --> 0:15:54.400 you don't have to starve your cell and deprive yourself. 0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:08.080 I wanted to ask you about the cleans because that again, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:12.800 that is that word gets thrown out a lot. And 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.560 whether it's you know, intermittent fasting and you're cleansing for 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:18.360 a certain amount of time, some people are like, I 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.080 don't eat for two or three days and I only 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.760 eat water or drink water and or you know, that's it. 0:16:24.760 --> 0:16:30.480 So how often are you suggesting people cleans and when 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.480 they do it? You know, I think you kind of 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:37.320 answered the question. You guys are doing it with stuff. 0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:40.920 You're not just cold turkey cleansing. 0:16:40.880 --> 0:16:44.840 Right, I My cleans you can do weekly. So it's 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.240 just nutrient dense food that no inflammatory foods on the 0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:51.880 cleans unless it's like foods that don't agree with you. 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:55.320 We do specialize for people who have nut allergies or 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.480 don't like beats or you know, things like that, or 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.240 don't eat soy we have a little edem so, but 0:17:01.400 --> 0:17:03.960 you could do this program every single week, and I 0:17:03.960 --> 0:17:05.640 had someone on it for a year and a half 0:17:05.680 --> 0:17:06.600 almost two years. 0:17:06.720 --> 0:17:08.240 They just did They were just cleansing. 0:17:08.280 --> 0:17:11.119 They were just doing my program because it's Monday through Friday. 0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:14.080 Then they then they basically Saturday Sunday did their own thing. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:17.840 But and we do switch up the items like every 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:21.000 three to four weeks our soups and salads and everything. 0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:25.840 But since it's not deprivation and it's not like true cleansing, 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:29.000 it probably shouldn't be called cleansing. It should just be 0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:31.840 calling reset, you know, or nutrient debt. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.600 Reset the system. Totally, totally, It's a great way of 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:36.960 thinking about it because you know, I'll never forget I 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.840 used to work on the Red Carpet and you'd get 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:42.919 the Red Carpet season and the women would do what 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:48.240 the cayenne pepper lemon cleans you remember that, like cayenne 0:17:48.320 --> 0:17:52.600 the Master, the master cleanse yes. It was just horrifying 0:17:52.640 --> 0:17:54.919 what these women were doing to themselves is cayenne pepper 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:56.679 and lemon and honey or whatever it was. 0:17:56.720 --> 0:17:58.720 And that's all they were drinking. That's all. 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:01.919 That's all they were eating and drinking. And you know, 0:18:02.000 --> 0:18:04.040 to get Red Carpet ready, right. 0:18:04.000 --> 0:18:07.520 I mean, I don't I'm not opposed to, like even 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.440 water fast because they can be really you know, crazy 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:13.000 amazing for you for a certain period of time, and 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.440 depending on what you're trying to achieve. You know, if 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:19.600 you're trying to kill off you know, bad cells, a 0:18:19.680 --> 0:18:23.240 topagy type of thing, and you know, sometimes doing that 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:28.680 really hardcore fasting is important if you're having some health issues. 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:31.960 But mine is more like I want people to know 0:18:32.200 --> 0:18:36.040 they can, you know, reset their body with food. So 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:39.760 and it's also really fun because they don't have to 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.800 even think about it. They get all the food prepared 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:45.680 and it's organic and clean. And I just feel these days, 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:49.520 we're eating out way too much. We're ordering for Postmates, 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:53.760 right and since covid and restaurants are using cheap seed 0:18:53.760 --> 0:18:57.760 oils that are inflammatory, and they're using really cheap animal 0:18:57.800 --> 0:19:00.760 protein because that's all they can afford, and they're putting 0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:03.479 too much sugar in their salad dressings, and you know, 0:19:03.600 --> 0:19:06.399 I mean, I think that we're just getting a lot 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:11.480 more inflammatory issues going on because you know, people are 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.760 ordering in and not cooking at home and preparing for themselves. 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:18.520 So when people do your cleanse, what are you seeing? 0:19:18.800 --> 0:19:20.640 What are they saying is the benefit? What are they 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:21.679 feeling afterwards? 0:19:21.880 --> 0:19:24.040 I mean, I can't even begin to tell you after 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.080 ten years of In my tenth year of doing this, 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.639 it's so fun because their skin is better in five days, 0:19:31.000 --> 0:19:35.280 their digestion is working. They're actually going the bathroom more 0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:39.119 than once a day. Once a day is now considered constipated, 0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:41.439 so they're going two and three times a day. By 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:44.600 the end of my gut cleanse, they're like, holy cow, 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:46.200 this feels so good. 0:19:46.200 --> 0:19:47.520 That you're going to say another word, which would have 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:48.360 been very appropriate. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:53.040 I was good, I know, but yeah, they're just they're 0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:57.440 sleeping better, you know, they have more energy, like all 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.000 all of the things are happening for them, and it 0:20:01.080 --> 0:20:04.560 really is simple and like they could do this at 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:08.640 home if they, you know, because it's not anything hard because. 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:10.720 You'll just do the greater Los Angeles area. You don't 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:12.320 go out out of state or out of no. 0:20:12.560 --> 0:20:15.080 We just because it's in glass and it's organic and 0:20:15.119 --> 0:20:18.200 fresh and delivered twice in the week. Yeah, we haven't 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:19.919 gone out of state. We do. We go out of 0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:24.000 state with granola and bars that we ship across the country. 0:20:24.040 --> 0:20:27.040 And we are getting ready to do three different bone broths, 0:20:27.600 --> 0:20:31.840 an anti inflammatory of mood and an inflammation. 0:20:31.600 --> 0:20:33.440 I swear by by the way, I swear By bone 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:35.440 broth Love. Yeah, it's so good. 0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.520 I know, I know, so I do too. I feel 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:39.880 like also for the gut. 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:43.600 Of the collagen, the protein, that it's everything's in there, right. 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:46.760 Yeah. So I feel like I want people to feel 0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:49.880 like they Like I said earlier, I don't want them 0:20:49.920 --> 0:20:54.240 to feel deprived. We're deprived enough in our life right mentally, 0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:55.680 just and. 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:57.320 I think that's a good thing. That's what I love 0:20:57.320 --> 0:20:59.199 hearing about your quies. It's like, you don't need to 0:20:59.680 --> 0:21:00.760 like to harve yourself. 0:21:00.800 --> 0:21:04.680 It's not that, yeah, No, you can get the results 0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.800 and get better results without starving yourself. 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.360
