Speaker 1: Hey, fam I'm Jada Pinkett Smith and this is the
Speaker 1: Red Table Pop podcast, all your favorite episodes from the
Speaker 1: Facebook watch show in audio produced by Westbrook Audio and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio. Please don't forget to rate and review
Speaker 1: on Apple Podcasts. On this Red Table Talk, the eye
Speaker 1: opening results of our medical tests are in. You all
Speaker 1: have linky gut all of us. Yeah, very much. And
Speaker 1: I get a big old surprise. Okay, wait wait wait wait,
Speaker 1: she'll be fine. Well, she's gonna be fired. This was
Speaker 1: the most shocking thing in the episode. Plus, world renowned
Speaker 1: Dr Mark Hyman tells us and you what to eat
Speaker 1: to turn your health around. Now, first of all, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get this straight right now, what do you what
Speaker 1: do you so? Ja? Why would you not want to
Speaker 1: have the results the first time? You can hear him
Speaker 1: because after the last episode it all started three months ago,
Speaker 1: Will called an emergency Red Table Talk to get our
Speaker 1: families health under control. And my blood pressure was way,
Speaker 1: almost dangerously low. We went there about everything. I was
Speaker 1: in so much pain in my stomach in the emergency room,
Speaker 1: I have anxiety. So I'll go from zero to nine
Speaker 1: like instantly. That's what you see. How limited my eating
Speaker 1: is everything obsessed my stomach. How many times do y'all
Speaker 1: poop in the course of a day? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: I can go three days, but you have to poop down.
Speaker 1: You might want to take a look at that. And
Speaker 1: then came the headlines. Nutritionist Mona Sharma and Dr Mark
Speaker 1: him of the Cleveland Clinic oversaw extensive medical testing for
Speaker 1: the family test. Will do a little bit of a
Speaker 1: swab up your cheek for the DNA and then tomorrow
Speaker 1: stool stuff is kind for us, but it's kind of
Speaker 1: basically none of y' your poop stool. The medical test
Speaker 1: results are finally ready to be revealed, but there's a problem, Jada. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why would you not want to have the results the
Speaker 1: first time you hear him? Because after the last episode,
Speaker 1: I'm walking the street and people are like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: They're like, are you sick? Like can I can I
Speaker 1: just can I pick you up? Can I give you
Speaker 1: some water? Like come up to me like can you
Speaker 1: can have my food? Man? I'm like, I'm there eating too,
Speaker 1: like I'm good, Like I'm fine. So I don't know
Speaker 1: what's gonna be said. And I don't want people coming
Speaker 1: up to me like your your bows. Okay, your iron level, man,
Speaker 1: come my brother. Okay. Now, I'm not trying to be
Speaker 1: health surprised because all I'm worried about is getting thrown
Speaker 1: and then trying to act right on camera. All right,
Speaker 1: So here's I want to keep it real. Why you
Speaker 1: got to be able to embrace this. Gammy wipe Jada's
Speaker 1: but when she was a baby, Me and Jaden white
Speaker 1: y'all butts when you were babies. And one day Jade
Speaker 1: is gonna have to wipe gammys and you guys are
Speaker 1: gonna have to wipe our butts. That's how it goes.
Speaker 1: So that's this is part of us getting like I
Speaker 1: just know that Jade is not really going to do that.
Speaker 1: You'll get somebody. All right, we're gonna go to the table.
Speaker 1: We're gonna go to the table. So today our medical
Speaker 1: tests results are in and we're hearing them for the
Speaker 1: first time here at the table. I guess we're a
Speaker 1: little nervous, but knowledge is power. Just Yes, recently, I've
Speaker 1: had a colonoscopy, and the colonoscopy, they take the camera
Speaker 1: and you know, they put you to sleep, and they
Speaker 1: go up inside your intestines and basically look around, and
Speaker 1: the doctor found a pre cancerous polyp and they do
Speaker 1: that to do it and they remove it. What I
Speaker 1: noticed doing the colonoscopy, it is really really embarrassing to
Speaker 1: get checked out. Why I think it was embarrassing to
Speaker 1: take your clothes off and have somebody feel your body
Speaker 1: and look and you know, checking your whole name and address.
Speaker 1: And that's so important for men to Will that you
Speaker 1: did that, because men shy away from anything but really
Speaker 1: just doctor period. Men don't like going to the doctor.
Speaker 1: It's invasive. It's invasive. All right, Well, let's get started
Speaker 1: to be started. See what our Okay, So joining us
Speaker 1: is Dr Mark Hyman, director of Functional Medicine at the
Speaker 1: prestigious Cleveland Clinic, and Mona Sharma is back. She's Will's
Speaker 1: nutritionists and wellness coach. It's good to bear with you, guys.
Speaker 1: I got some really good news for you guys. With
Speaker 1: the badness, you've got stuff. The good news all fixable, great,
Speaker 1: and you know what, it's all common stuff that so
Speaker 1: many millions of people have that they don't really know
Speaker 1: that they can fix. Okay. One of the things that
Speaker 1: we found was that you all have genes that make
Speaker 1: you more likely if you eat a ton of starch
Speaker 1: and sugar to become overweight and diabetic. Oh okay, well
Speaker 1: then no star. And you also and you also have
Speaker 1: jeanes that make you crave sugar and make you want
Speaker 1: to snack. That's a big problem because African Americans are
Speaker 1: twice as likely to get diabetes, They're four times likely
Speaker 1: have kidney failure that drena, have more times likely to
Speaker 1: get amputations from that, and so you're all at risk
Speaker 1: for that. Starts and sugar. Yeah, the trick to fixing
Speaker 1: that is fat. So when you eat the right fats,
Speaker 1: it cuts off the hunger and it stops the craving.
Speaker 1: So if you's you know, most Americans start their day
Speaker 1: with sugar, right, Breakfast Cereal is se sugar, muffins, bagels, pancakes,
Speaker 1: jaden not sugar. Everybody loves sugar. So I don't say
Speaker 1: get rid of sugar. I just say think of it
Speaker 1: as a recreational drug. I like toe quil lot, but
Speaker 1: I don't have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Right.
Speaker 1: So the other thing you've got kind of interesting because
Speaker 1: you all related and you're very similar genetics. Lactose intolerance.
Speaker 1: We are lactosa. Yeah, so when you eat dairy, it
Speaker 1: could be feeling feel bloated, right, yeah, pretty much you have.
Speaker 1: That's probably what's your problem is the world is lactose intolerant.
Speaker 1: It's the normal thing. We're not most of us can't
Speaker 1: tolerate dairy. You should only know about your digestion when
Speaker 1: it's time to go to the bathroom, right, and it
Speaker 1: shouldn't be running there and should be Ok, I gotta go,
Speaker 1: and you go, and you go. It takes five minutes,
Speaker 1: so finished done. Maybe for you, it's gonna take five
Speaker 1: hours out of Yeah, but we're gonna fix that. I
Speaker 1: take a book War and Peace, and you all have
Speaker 1: gut issues. Your tummies are a big issue. And the
Speaker 1: gut is so important. You know, the most common reason
Speaker 1: people go to the doctor stomach problems. Stomach problems. It's
Speaker 1: so common, and people think it's normal. They don't get
Speaker 1: diagnosed with the rob but everybody has some level of
Speaker 1: like you know, digestive upset and problems. What's fascinating is
Speaker 1: that we're learning that the gut is the center of
Speaker 1: your health. Like, if your gut's not working, nothing's working. Right.
Speaker 1: People think your gut is your stomach or your belly,
Speaker 1: but it's actually your gastro intestinal tract, and it starts
Speaker 1: in your mouth and includes the esophagous stomach, intestines where
Speaker 1: the food is broken down and nutrients, vitamins, and minerals
Speaker 1: are absorbed into the bloodstream. Your intestines are filled with
Speaker 1: trillions of both good and bad bacteria. They're known as
Speaker 1: gut flora, and they need to remain a balance. Eating
Speaker 1: the wrong foods can throw off that balance. Digestion is everything.
Speaker 1: If your body is not able to just metabolize the foods,
Speaker 1: you're not going to get the nutrition. All that's so fixable. Okay, good, Well,
Speaker 1: let's go through Whillel's test results. Yes, so, so you know, well,
Speaker 1: you've got a lot of stuff going on. You know,
Speaker 1: you look healthy, you all look glowing healthy on the surface,
Speaker 1: But if you look good doesn't necessarily mean you feel good. Right.
Speaker 1: What we found well is you have a lot of
Speaker 1: digestive issues. You've basically got in balances in your gut flora.
Speaker 1: So you've got problems with constipation, You've got gas and bloating.
Speaker 1: You know, you get this kind of food baby thing.
Speaker 1: You know, I have it right now and you had
Speaker 1: low good bacteria and you had some overgrowth of bad bacteria,
Speaker 1: and that's really common and that gut stuff really needs
Speaker 1: to get fixed. And also that leads to what we
Speaker 1: call this leaky gut, and it's not good. Now people
Speaker 1: people don't know what that is. To understand leaky gut,
Speaker 1: you first need to understand how digestion works. When you
Speaker 1: eat something, it goes down this tube into your stomach
Speaker 1: and then it gets broken down by stomach acid. Then
Speaker 1: it goes into your small intestine, which is twenty two
Speaker 1: feet law, and then it makes us way through the
Speaker 1: large intestine where it forms into more solid poop. Now,
Speaker 1: if your digestive system is working well, it should be silent, invisible,
Speaker 1: and everything should just feel good. But when you have
Speaker 1: a leaky gut, that process doesn't work right. And here's why.
Speaker 1: The cells that make up the lining of the small
Speaker 1: intestine are supposed to act as a barrier that keeps
Speaker 1: harmful bacteria and other food particles from passing into your
Speaker 1: blood stream. When a rift opens up in that barrier,
Speaker 1: just a little one, it may allow bacteria and toxins
Speaker 1: to pass from the gut into the blood stream. A
Speaker 1: leaky gut can lead to nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities and
Speaker 1: even depression, anxiety, heart disease, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Right,
Speaker 1: and you've got basically like one cell between you and
Speaker 1: a sewer, you know, all the food you're eating, the
Speaker 1: pounds of food, and that gut breaks down, the cells
Speaker 1: open up, stuff leaks through, and so that's why we
Speaker 1: see so much inflammation. Like he's achiness, you know, feel
Speaker 1: good fatigue, that can all be inflammation. And that is
Speaker 1: because you get this leaky gut. So essentially, even though
Speaker 1: you potentially are eating the right things, your body may
Speaker 1: not be absorbing. That's not that hard to fix. You
Speaker 1: gotta basically eat the right diet, eat real food, don't
Speaker 1: eat crab, you know, and eat mostly plants. Why would
Speaker 1: you look at me when he said don't eat crap?
Speaker 1: So well, the other the other thing we found with
Speaker 1: you is that you have a lot of food sensitivities.
Speaker 1: So when you get this leaky gut, which pretty much
Speaker 1: all you have, then different foods start to react to
Speaker 1: your system. So dairy is a big one, and gluten
Speaker 1: dairy and gluten gluten and people, what's gluten? It's what's
Speaker 1: in weed, barley, rye, everything, and it's in pretty much
Speaker 1: everything any kind of flour products, and that causes you
Speaker 1: to have eggs and pains and be tired and flamed
Speaker 1: and maybe have trouble sleeping. And then you have also
Speaker 1: nutritional deficiencies. Now ninety percent of African Americans are vitamin
Speaker 1: D deficient, including all of you. So it's really a
Speaker 1: big problem because it increases your risk of infection, cancer, diabetes,
Speaker 1: brain issues, muscle, eggs, fatigue, all that stuff. So your
Speaker 1: vitamin was pretty lu twenty eight should be like you know,
Speaker 1: over fifty. Um, well it's fine, we're fixing it all.
Speaker 1: That's what we're here. And then you also have some
Speaker 1: B vitamin deficiencies be twelve full eight B six, which
Speaker 1: are really common. All of you genetically have a risk
Speaker 1: for that and you all need a lot more of
Speaker 1: those and they help your mood, your energy, and even
Speaker 1: colon cancer and when you have a polyp. Part of
Speaker 1: the reasons though, developers you don't have enough these be vitamins,
Speaker 1: which protects you from getting cancer. So those are those
Speaker 1: are your big issues. Well, we've got to get the
Speaker 1: constipation going. You know, people should go every day, sometimes
Speaker 1: two or three times. I was very proud of myself
Speaker 1: the other day the other day after three times before,
Speaker 1: that's good. Of course, you've got a little high cholesterol,
Speaker 1: blood pressure issues, and that is common, obviously, it's common
Speaker 1: African Americans. Now you have a few other things like
Speaker 1: shaking when you pick up the golf ball and stuff.
Speaker 1: You have caffeine sensitivity. A lot of you have caffeine sensity.
Speaker 1: So some people are going they have a cup of coffee,
Speaker 1: they can metabolize it and they can drink coffee, go
Speaker 1: to bed. Some people drink coffee. They're bouncing off the walls.
Speaker 1: You have any ability to get rid of the caffeine,
Speaker 1: which means it builds up. And then you kind of
Speaker 1: have that shaking and you drink a lot of coffee
Speaker 1: and you cut down on your coffee. And I think
Speaker 1: that we should talk about that off you should worry
Speaker 1: about what you drinking. Dam And then then you also
Speaker 1: have one more thing. You have You have jeanes that
Speaker 1: prevent you from detoxifying environmental chemicals like mercury and things
Speaker 1: like that. So your mercury levels a little high, and
Speaker 1: high mercury is causes a lot of different issues. In
Speaker 1: neurological issues, fatigue, sleep issues, digestive issues. So we've got
Speaker 1: to get your mercury down and then there's real simple
Speaker 1: ways to do that by cutting down the big fish
Speaker 1: that people eat, like the tuna and swordfish and big fish.
Speaker 1: The good news is you're the biologically the youngest of
Speaker 1: the family, biologically the youngest, so so we're gonna talking
Speaker 1: about So we're gonna talk about telomeres. Now, what are telomeres. Basically,
Speaker 1: they're the little ends of your chromosomes that shrink as
Speaker 1: you age, but you can actually lengthen them. Things like meditation, exercise,
Speaker 1: clean diet, sleep, and even a multi vitamin can help
Speaker 1: you actually lengthen your telomeres so you can grow biologically
Speaker 1: younger as you grow chronologically older. So you're like fifty,
Speaker 1: but you're telomeres a thirty five, So that's good. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, I'll be trying to tell yeah, because I
Speaker 1: was just talking to him at the room that that's
Speaker 1: really good. So that that's a good news. So we
Speaker 1: fix these little things. Your blood pressure gonna come down,
Speaker 1: your constipation is gonna go away, and the treatment for
Speaker 1: that is giving you more magnesium of us or deficient magnesium,
Speaker 1: more fiber, probiotics, really simple stuff. More water. You don't
Speaker 1: drink enough water. Definitely, don't drink enough water. Yeah, because
Speaker 1: if you don't drink, you know, you don't poop. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And I think you're gonna feel much better and you know,
Speaker 1: be actually a real superhero, not just one in the middle. Yeah.
Speaker 1: That's okay. So that's that's you. Well, now, Jada, you're next. Okay, ready,
Speaker 1: Now you got a sense of the stomach. You're always
Speaker 1: talking about it. You're tired. We found something just causing
Speaker 1: a lot of your stomach issues. And it's something that
Speaker 1: affects about eight percent of the population, which is a parasite. Okay, wait,
Speaker 1: wait a parasite. Don't worry. You don't have one. You
Speaker 1: don't have one. I know. But she she'll be fine.
Speaker 1: She's not. Don't and I think of aliens. Mommy, is
Speaker 1: that strong as subborty weaver. It'll be fine. It's not
Speaker 1: going to come out of your stomach eat anything. How
Speaker 1: in the world. Now you see the picture, they're all
Speaker 1: those little red dots. Are the parasites, All the little
Speaker 1: red dots. It's called blasto cistus and it caused you
Speaker 1: to have irritable bow, bloating, gas, poor digestion, not absorbing nutrients,
Speaker 1: and the good guys can't grow because it kills all
Speaker 1: the good guys in your gut, and it allows other
Speaker 1: things to grow like yeasts and stuff. Does it have
Speaker 1: like serious symptoms like like getting sick when you eat
Speaker 1: and having bloating and feeling sick every time you eat food? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. Don't worry. She's not going to die. Where
Speaker 1: did I get it from? It's common. It's common. It's
Speaker 1: you know, affects literally eight percent of the population, so
Speaker 1: almost every one out of every ten people have something.
Speaker 1: You get it from water, food, You guys are traveling,
Speaker 1: it's everywhere. Okay, so no time want to go. That's
Speaker 1: probably I don't think it's actually it's actually more about
Speaker 1: the nine one. It's something like, how do I get
Speaker 1: rid of We're gonna kill the parasite. We're gonna give
Speaker 1: you an anti parasite mad We're gonna get you reagano,
Speaker 1: which helps. Yeah, and we're gonna and then we're gonna
Speaker 1: rebuild your gut with the right probiotic medicine today delivered tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Imagine what you're gonna feel like the hell did you
Speaker 1: get there? And a lot of you have jeans that
Speaker 1: fact your ability to detoxify. So we have libor gets
Speaker 1: rid of junk and toxins, metals and pollution. You guys
Speaker 1: aren't great at it. So you need help. And a
Speaker 1: lot of us are like that. So dark green, leafy
Speaker 1: vegetables like you know, collars, kale, brussels sprouse properly, the
Speaker 1: onion scroctoes. I'll help your liber detoxic. And so we're
Speaker 1: gonna give you an anti parasite mad We're gonna give
Speaker 1: you some probiotics. Now, how long to take? The six days?
Speaker 1: That's something. And I bet you it's affecting my teleomeres.
Speaker 1: You know, we're doing pretty good. You're you're telling me
Speaker 1: there's are forty six. I want to be like, well,
Speaker 1: we'll fix you, okay. Next is jaden. And so you
Speaker 1: always complain about your stomach, Yes, So what what do
Speaker 1: you eat? Like, what's your what's your I definitely eat
Speaker 1: pancakes in the morning. Sometimes I will this is rare,
Speaker 1: but sometimes I will not eat pancakes, and like have
Speaker 1: like a salad with like grains and like avocado toasts.
Speaker 1: In the morning. You know your stomach hurts when you
Speaker 1: eat certain foods. Yeah, right, And and it's why you
Speaker 1: don't want to eat so much, because you feel sick
Speaker 1: when you eat, so you tend not to eat right.
Speaker 1: And then of course you have the leaky gut to right.
Speaker 1: So gluten and dairy you're big problems for you. So pancakes,
Speaker 1: how to be the almond flour, coconut flour ones, you
Speaker 1: can do that. You don't have a problem with eggs,
Speaker 1: so that's okay, okay um uh. And nutritionally, you've got
Speaker 1: a lot of deficiencies okay, because you stopped eating me.
Speaker 1: So you're very low and be twelve okay. And you're
Speaker 1: also extremely low in vitamin D like twenty should be
Speaker 1: like fifty. But you're also very low and omega three
Speaker 1: fats because you're not eating fish, you're not getting healthy
Speaker 1: fats that prevent inflammation. They're also important for your brain,
Speaker 1: for your mood, and and people don't realize how important
Speaker 1: these fats are. Nine of people are deficient in these
Speaker 1: omega three fats. So when you fix your stomach, your
Speaker 1: diet expands. We take a few supplements, everything is back
Speaker 1: to normal and you're gonna rock the world. Yes, yes.
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting is if you've got all these
Speaker 1: reactions happen in your body every second. Right, I guess
Speaker 1: how many chemical reactions happen in your body every second?
Speaker 1: Take a second? Million, A million? We got a million? Here,
Speaker 1: a billion, I got Yeah, we're trillion. Okay, it's thirty
Speaker 1: seven billion billion billion. Thirty seven billion billion. Every one
Speaker 1: of those chemical reactions needs a vitamin or mineral to
Speaker 1: make it work. Magnesium, for example, hundred enzymes right helps
Speaker 1: three hundred enzymes that help these chemical reactions. So you're
Speaker 1: just not running. It's like having, you know, job, Someone
Speaker 1: needs to pay me to take care of my full
Speaker 1: time job. And willow fatigue, sensitive, stomach, feeling we tired
Speaker 1: every day, anxiety that leads to the leaky guns. You've
Speaker 1: got Gluten, dairy and eggs are also prompt. Okay, then
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I've been eating eggs for my whole life
Speaker 1: a lot, so I'm going to stop doing that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And the best thing to start to day with is
Speaker 1: fat and protein. Avocados, nuts and seeds and all that
Speaker 1: stuff will help you to keep your sugar even not
Speaker 1: have swings and have cravings because that craving stuff is
Speaker 1: not because a lack of willpower. Well, if you're guts
Speaker 1: some mess, you're not going to have the right appetite.
Speaker 1: If your hormones are out of whack, you're gonna be
Speaker 1: craving the wrong things. And just to finish up with you,
Speaker 1: you also have a lot of nutrition deficiencies right well,
Speaker 1: the B vitamin things, the B vitamin things of anxiety.
Speaker 1: Vitamin D causes fatigue, depression. They call it s A
Speaker 1: D or SAD. Right, Seasonal effective disorder is huge. I mean,
Speaker 1: I can tell you I've seen so many patients. We
Speaker 1: fix their God, their anxiety goes away, the depression goes away.
Speaker 1: And it's shocking sometimes because we often attribute all these
Speaker 1: psychos I have been saying anxiety like through the roof, Well,
Speaker 1: I think I think it's going to get better. Then
Speaker 1: you also have one more thing. You have low protein
Speaker 1: lo amino acids. You how do I have because you're
Speaker 1: not a protein shapes. Listen, I've been listening for this
Speaker 1: whole time. You look so sad. Will know I'm not sad.
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated. It sucks because I would think about it
Speaker 1: a lot. I would think about like, oh, I need
Speaker 1: my carb, I need my vegetable, and I need my protein,
Speaker 1: and I obsess about it, and I like, what the
Speaker 1: hell being being seeing what's because I'm a little stressed now,
Speaker 1: It's true because I'm basically if I'm going to be
Speaker 1: thinking the same. But this is the process of education,
Speaker 1: So you're going to get educated, so you're going to
Speaker 1: make okay, gamm Next, you're probably one of the healthiest
Speaker 1: of the bunch. Yes, yes, I looked at your age
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wa is this a type of But
Speaker 1: you know, you also have stomach issues, so you have
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that's related to that. Mostly you
Speaker 1: have a little bit of gluten dairy sensitivity. You have
Speaker 1: a little gut and balance. You don't have enough good guys,
Speaker 1: you have too much bad guys. You're gonna need probably
Speaker 1: take some probiotics to help your gut get off a
Speaker 1: gluten dairy. You're gonna be taking a multi vitamin. You
Speaker 1: can take B vitamin's, vitamin D and fish oil. In
Speaker 1: terms of your telomeres, you know, you're okay, but you're
Speaker 1: not awesome. So you're telomeres seventy three. But I think
Speaker 1: when we fix these nutritional efficiencies, you'll go right back
Speaker 1: to normal or so gamm, you're good. Now those are
Speaker 1: your big issues, except for Track, because I didn't get
Speaker 1: his lap so well, that's because trades he's on his
Speaker 1: own health journey, so we didn't want to disrupt. So
Speaker 1: he's just here for familial support. That's good. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about how important that ts like, I'm so glad
Speaker 1: I didn't do like. This is an opportunity for people
Speaker 1: to learn that food is nourishment. It's not about a
Speaker 1: guy it or a trend or what the next thing
Speaker 1: is to do. It's like, how do I eat to
Speaker 1: feel nourished? Yeah, now you're gonna And the beautiful thing
Speaker 1: about food is that it's medicine. Right, It's not just calories.
Speaker 1: People like all this energy. I just eat less and
Speaker 1: exercise more. I'll be fine. That doesn't work because food
Speaker 1: is not just calories. It's information. It's instructions and literally
Speaker 1: upgrade your biology with every bite or downgrade it. It
Speaker 1: affects your gene expression, it affects your hormones, and it
Speaker 1: affects your brain chemistry. That's why people get their brain
Speaker 1: chemistry hijack with sugar because it actually is like heroin
Speaker 1: in the brain. This is one of the biggest discoveries
Speaker 1: of the last fifty years is that food is medicine.
Speaker 1: Food food. Food is a medicine, not like medicine and food.
Speaker 1: So essentially, as a as a takeaway sound bite, everything
Speaker 1: you put in your mouth is either helping you to
Speaker 1: have a longer life or shorter one. I mean, listen,
Speaker 1: Americans overweight. One of the two Americans have diabetes. But
Speaker 1: I work to do and we do. So everything you swallow,
Speaker 1: you know, every piece you put in your mouth in
Speaker 1: real time, like not not literally in years. So yes,
Speaker 1: it will help your lifespan. But it's also going to
Speaker 1: make you feel good now good because you know, okay,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't care if I die five years younger.
Speaker 1: Who cares. I want to enjoy my whatever. It's about
Speaker 1: how you feel now, how you show up in life.
Speaker 1: I always say self care starts in the kitchen. Self
Speaker 1: care starts in the kitchen. I love that when you
Speaker 1: look down at your plate, you want to make sure
Speaker 1: you see that it's plant focused, and then you want
Speaker 1: to have a good quality protein and a really good
Speaker 1: quality fat. So this is things like olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, avocado.
Speaker 1: When you have that good balance, when you've got the fiber,
Speaker 1: fiber flushes toxins from our body. It helps with bowel movements.
Speaker 1: It used to be this conditioning from society. We thought
Speaker 1: that most of our plate had to be meat. Right,
Speaker 1: When it's a side dish, right, you call it a
Speaker 1: candy meat right, Ko're gonna be the main focus. And
Speaker 1: it's almost like a readjusting. Right. Once you learn how
Speaker 1: to eat differently, you get accustomed to eating that way.
Speaker 1: It it's breaking the habit speak in churches, and it
Speaker 1: goes really easy. Leave the food that man made, eat
Speaker 1: the food that got made. You gotta make a twinkie?
Speaker 1: Can you make an avocado? Probably? Yeah? So Number one
Speaker 1: is plant rich. Number two is no fake food, no
Speaker 1: fake food package processed food you got. If it was
Speaker 1: made in a plant, don't eat it. If it was
Speaker 1: growing on a plant, you can eat it. One of
Speaker 1: the best ways you can start your days having a
Speaker 1: really great nutrient dense shake. Oh here they are. So
Speaker 1: we talked about white foods, cheese, spinach. I love it's green.
Speaker 1: Green mothy vegetable is amazing for brain health. Grape for fiber,
Speaker 1: grape for iron, ginger, one of the best things you

Speaker 1: pre biotic fiber. Prebiotics are essentially for the good bacteria.
Speaker 1: And you've got blueberries the best antioxidants that you get. Well,
Speaker 1: the problem today is I'm not getting this. Whatever bug
Speaker 1: is in me is eating this? Right? For two? What's
Speaker 1: worse for you? Sugar bread, they're both the same, right, No,
Speaker 1: bread breaks down the sugar. Actually, bread raises your blood
Speaker 1: sugar more than table sugar, really, so you might as
Speaker 1: well put two tables and sugar in your sandwich fixings.
Speaker 1: Can skip the whole wat bread because cold wheat bread, yeah,
Speaker 1: because it's unless unless it's like cold currnel like that
Speaker 1: German rye bread, it is all like the Yeah. But
Speaker 1: if it's the highly processed stuff, it's just like sugar.
Speaker 1: So flour sugar think of the same, and you know
Speaker 1: we just go on a restaurant. Now you can ask
Speaker 1: for you bread, you can say no, and can say
Speaker 1: can we have that's vegetables we have. It has to
Speaker 1: be the rest the rest of responsibility to not bring
Speaker 1: them bread, because once they bring it out, one person
Speaker 1: says no, no, no. I'm like, well, you know y'all
Speaker 1: brought it out of gas. So what are some of
Speaker 1: the biggest food myths? Well, that all calories the same,
Speaker 1: just eat less extras. So it turns out quality that
Speaker 1: it's more than quantity. If you focus on what sheat,
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about how much because you
Speaker 1: don't have to think how calories restricting. When you restrict
Speaker 1: like that, you feel the craving and then you and
Speaker 1: then you wile out at midnight. Right, can we hand
