Speaker 1: years of high heel shoes o prince, working in the
Speaker 1: high heel shoes, dancing in the high hills shoes, working
Speaker 1: all day, then going to a party after so cute,
Speaker 1: which half months is just popping ling all strong and stuff. Listen, um,

Speaker 1: I'm talking about for longevity's sake, you can look and
Speaker 1: juice off. Okay, take them off in the car, take
Speaker 1: them off under the under the table, take them off
Speaker 1: in the seat at the Grammys, wherever you are. Get
Speaker 1: those shoes off, because those wis, those good knees are
Speaker 1: not guaranteed. They're not. I'm trying to figure out what
Speaker 1: happened with them with the men, Like why they need
Speaker 1: so bad? I mean from sports, not only being played sports,
Speaker 1: what is that? What's what is it? Because you don't
Speaker 1: not a lot a lot of maybe being weight and
Speaker 1: being inactive. Yeah, like the needs can't really take that
Speaker 1: extra weight that you're putting on them. But the belly
Speaker 1: is out to this way. Then the knees is like,
Speaker 1: come on, need to help help help, you know, I think, wow,
Speaker 1: I think my knees are I don't have a penis,
Speaker 1: but my knees are mad because I call myself putting

Speaker 1: Jackson now, and uh it's not it's not working now.
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't. I can't keep this up. I
Speaker 1: can't do it. I mean patting, that's what, because it's
Speaker 1: supposed to be to me. I mean you certain level
Speaker 1: of suffering that goes alone at this thing, the commitment
Speaker 1: of it all. I was care for it, but I
Speaker 1: died handing them for it. No more. My niece said, listen, Jill,
Speaker 1: you are not hellier today. You're gonna have to get
Speaker 1: your life together because I can't. I can't do it.
Speaker 1: I will figure something else out, because age can't just
Speaker 1: be getting weight just for I'm sorry, but you can't.
Speaker 1: I can't make it. I can't make it like in
Speaker 1: between having you know, in between the hell you're coming,
Speaker 1: I've got two other things to shoot, you know, you know? Yeah,
Speaker 1: ah well, I think I think I'm I'm getting a
Speaker 1: little bit weirded out, just because every you know, every
Speaker 1: five six years, a new something comes out that tells
Speaker 1: you what is healthy, how you lose weight, how you
Speaker 1: maintain your health. Just to say the other I mean,
Speaker 1: we we talked about generation. We didn't watch things progressed
Speaker 1: from Bahamian diet to slim Fast, the first thing with
Speaker 1: all where you eliminate your carbs and it's all a
Speaker 1: meat you eat atkins Atkins to herbal Life and then
Speaker 1: Keto now and you got Now they're ditching Keto for
Speaker 1: something else. Don't get about paleo. Then we got then
Speaker 1: then at one point it's like, okay, then you be
Speaker 1: a vegetarian, but there's like, well no, then you want
Speaker 1: to be a vaga. But then it's like if you're vegan,
Speaker 1: then you still don't want to eat process food. And
Speaker 1: then we get all the way back to the beginning
Speaker 1: where it's like, okay, just eat greens and vegetables. Then
Speaker 1: some people say it's no doctor Saby didn't know, not
Speaker 1: doctor Saby. Then now it's whomever. And I will have
Speaker 1: to say that even though I feel like I have
Speaker 1: a strong sense of basic health, I have in the
Speaker 1: past gotten a little bit turned around in terms of like, okay,
Speaker 1: so what is the right thing to do? Like what
Speaker 1: are we supposed to do? And for me, I just
Speaker 1: can't lie to you. Some things are just tried and true,
Speaker 1: gonna slow me down sugar, processed food, my my baby,
Speaker 1: my love fry food. I thought you're going to say bread,
Speaker 1: Oh bread, it's so cool. Potatoes potatoes, goodness. See, we
Speaker 1: we ate yams primarily. You know, if we can we
Speaker 1: can find the love for a yam. My sister mixed
Speaker 1: together a yam and a potato mash, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's less potato, but you know, it feels like
Speaker 1: you're getting all the potatoes you want. And then of
Speaker 1: course the next egg we have to, you know, make
Speaker 1: a potato pancake out of the yam and the potato mixed.
Speaker 1: But you know, here we go, sugar telling us a
Speaker 1: message and the song I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you this.
Speaker 1: This is what worked for me in the past. It
Speaker 1: was not the easiest thing to do, but it definitely worked.
Speaker 1: I lost a lot of weight. I lost like sixty
Speaker 1: pounds one. I was working out a lot. I lived
Speaker 1: in California and I rode my bike upwards. I would
Speaker 1: say up to twelve miles a day. I wrote a
Speaker 1: lot with with Scott Parker. Shout out to Scott park
Speaker 1: I love you yo. Um. That was that was a
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I realized I have to have fun
Speaker 1: things to do, like playing football or you know, I'm
Speaker 1: not really a runner, but I do love riding my
Speaker 1: bike like I do so much. That's a good thing
Speaker 1: for me. Dr Diadamo's eat right for your blood type.
Speaker 1: Oh see, I've heard about this heart this okay, which
Speaker 1: is is sitting there in my library. It's it's an
Speaker 1: app damn it on your deli. You know how hard
Speaker 1: it is. Are you serious? It's hard to promise you.
Speaker 1: You would think that your doctor just has it on.
Speaker 1: No no, no no no. If you gotta go through
Speaker 1: your primary care doctor and you gotta go ask. But
Speaker 1: it's a whole process. It's not just are you serious.
Speaker 1: To this day, I still don't know. I'm gonna find
Speaker 1: out dogs. This is the year. Well, you know, I
Speaker 1: was at the time when I guess, yeah, when I
Speaker 1: found my mother knew my blood type. But I was
Speaker 1: dealing with Dr Frederick Burton in Philadelphia. Dr Burton is
Speaker 1: a m D. But he's also a holistic doctor, and
Speaker 1: he focuses his his practice on holistic medicine. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you're if you're going to Dr Burton in Philadelphia
Speaker 1: on City Line Avenue, you'll get a blood test, and
Speaker 1: he's gonna go through everything, everything and whatever you think,
Speaker 1: you know, any anything you could think of, he's gonna
Speaker 1: go look for it. And that's the difference between holistic
Speaker 1: searching and your regular m d s. They're looking for
Speaker 1: specific things and not everything. They're looking for rabies. You
Speaker 1: might have got bit by a dog, by a kid
Speaker 1: like my mom, Yeah you told me, but you told
Speaker 1: us about this that he yes found in her system.
Speaker 1: She was in her late forties and she was bit
Speaker 1: by a dog when she was six, you know. So
Speaker 1: there's that the suppression business that happens with modern medicine,
Speaker 1: not necessarily healing. So you know he's going through find yourself,
Speaker 1: a holistic doctor, where is anything you can share with us?
Speaker 1: Because I'm so interested and like what he found out
Speaker 1: about you, about me weight, you're supposed to remember, well,
Speaker 1: that is not specifically what we were looking for at
Speaker 1: the time. Um, I was trying to find out how
Speaker 1: to regulate my cycle because I just it would disappear
Speaker 1: for months or months, you know, sometimes a year or two,
Speaker 1: Like I just was like what do I do? We
Speaker 1: never actually came to a It was like get on
Speaker 1: birth control pills, which was the initial reaction, not from him,
Speaker 1: the from other doctors. It was like, we'll just get
Speaker 1: on birth control pills to regulate your cycle with him. God,
Speaker 1: let's see, um, there was babies in my system? How
Speaker 1: about that? Because I was yeah, yeah, I was like,
Speaker 1: oh wow, that's what I'm not sure it just might
Speaker 1: be present, it's just there. But it makes sense because obviously,
Speaker 1: even as we all know that there are some things
Speaker 1: that are genetic that you can't get from you know,
Speaker 1: your parents, you know things and you're you know certain
Speaker 1: I like to call them switches. Uh. You know, there's
Speaker 1: certain switches you get born with, and depending on how
Speaker 1: you live your life and what happens to you, something
Speaker 1: can flip that switch on, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So there's something you know, so you can it's good
Speaker 1: to have some sort of sense of what those switches
Speaker 1: might be. I mean, that's that's pretty amazing. You know.
Speaker 1: I'm curious, like um, and not not to get like
Speaker 1: too deep in your binnass, but like, is that something
Speaker 1: that's that's expensive or is that something that that people
Speaker 1: might be able to like wrap their minds around in
Speaker 1: terms of like the average person be able to go
Speaker 1: do an afford. It was years ago when I was
Speaker 1: looking for was cancer. We have a history of cancer
Speaker 1: in my family, so I was like trying to see
Speaker 1: was there any any glimpse hint idea so that I
Speaker 1: could attack it rather than it attacked me. And at
Speaker 1: the time, he didn't find any cancer my system. Praise God.
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for that. Um. But it's time to
Speaker 1: visit him again and go through the whole thing. It's
Speaker 1: been years and it's it's definitely time to see him again.
Speaker 1: You know, insurance covered it. It was a hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy eight dollars. Yes, yes, it was very good. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't I wouldn't even assume that insurance will cover anything
Speaker 1: that he's doing holistically. You know, anything that your holistic
Speaker 1: doctors doing. They're not covering anything like that, you know. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: As you know, modern medicines is there to suppress symptoms,
Speaker 1: not to heal them or deal with them in any way,
Speaker 1: shape or form, because sometimes suppression is the answer, because
Speaker 1: you don't want something that's sitting around in your body
Speaker 1: to pop up, Like you said, something that's old in there,
Speaker 1: you don't want it to pop up, or whatever the case.
Speaker 1: May be. But yeah, yo, have you guys, either of
Speaker 1: you guys, because you are artists and whatnot, have any
Speaker 1: of y'all done like the body sculpting detoxifying stuff? I
Speaker 1: would like to I heard that the ice thing, this
Speaker 1: is all you know. I heard that the cool sculpting
Speaker 1: hurts like it's painful. Yeah, I will try. I heard
Speaker 1: it was slightly painful. Shoutouts to the homie our brobs.
Speaker 1: You don't care. She did like at least three sessions
Speaker 1: of it. She is like, it might have hurt, this
Speaker 1: is slightly but she she did see the results. But
Speaker 1: you just have to be consistent. Now, what is this though,
Speaker 1: Because I'm just a regular negro, I don't know what
Speaker 1: y'all even talking about. What it's about sculpting the way,
Speaker 1: it's a lot of different. So cool sculpting is when
Speaker 1: they they to my now you even made me look
Speaker 1: us up officially, but they should freeze. We freeze the fact.
Speaker 1: Oh and then you have to guess they have to
Speaker 1: drink a lot of water to to push it out
Speaker 1: of your system. Yeah, a lot of places, it's a
Speaker 1: it's a lot of centers across the country that just
Speaker 1: coool sculpting I'm just gonna tell you real quick how
Speaker 1: it works. The proven science is FDA clear non invasive
Speaker 1: body contouring technology eliminates up to treated fat cells for
Speaker 1: good in nine different areas targets stufforn fat freeze is
Speaker 1: twice stubborn fat at once. So that's what it does.
Speaker 1: It freezes back. There are many ways, so there's also
Speaker 1: a heat way. I hate that my references. Y'all these
Speaker 1: show stuff and you saw. Of course, you're learn about
Speaker 1: it when you learned about it from you, kind of
Speaker 1: like I learned that you can also get which she
Speaker 1: did a procedure which they melt atatich was equal to
Speaker 1: like ten thousand sit ups. However, what I was asking
Speaker 1: about was a more holistic thing that I've been watching
Speaker 1: Melissa Ford do on Instagram where she goes to like
Speaker 1: a detoxifying center. And I've actually heard about this years ago,
Speaker 1: where you go declassifying tents and you go through a
Speaker 1: series of massages, progressive massages of them, like moving the
Speaker 1: stuff around. Yeah, like I know what that is. I'm interested.
Speaker 1: I want to Can you imagine I just would like
Speaker 1: to have a month of just doing stuff, yeah, on
Speaker 1: a daily basis, Like, oh, it's time. Like I've always
Speaker 1: seen that in the movies where people go to some
Speaker 1: svive somewhere and then oh man, it's time for your
Speaker 1: spatial Oh cool, you know you're gonna get a facial Oh,
Speaker 1: I have assigned for your massage. Okay, you can get
Speaker 1: a massage like Jju in Atlanta. They have the Yoni
Speaker 1: Jju in Atlanta. Let's talk Yoni. Yeah, the Yoni steam
Speaker 1: is pretty awesome. I've done it a couple of times
Speaker 1: and I felt wonderful, like and for them, I felt wonderful.
Speaker 1: I was like so fashion locally, it was wonderful. Put
Speaker 1: in the egg inside right, well, no, that you don't
Speaker 1: have to put anything inside yourself. It's uh, it's t
Speaker 1: basically and you're yeah, you're sitting towel or something. You
Speaker 1: can do these things from home as well. I believe
Speaker 1: they sell them in um in Whole Foods, you know.
Speaker 1: But you can also look it up and buy the
Speaker 1: tea and put it together yourself so that you can
Speaker 1: have a whole bunch of it for whenever you'd like to.
Speaker 1: But it was actually a really really pleasant experience and
Speaker 1: I would like to do that again. That was not
Speaker 1: loved it yeah, I've I've never tried it. I have
Speaker 1: a ton of friends who have done it. They love it,
Speaker 1: they swear by it. Vaginal care is super important, and
Speaker 1: so having the basics down are really important. But this
Speaker 1: is something that's clearly not a new practice, but it's
Speaker 1: something that now we're starting to talk a lot about
Speaker 1: more often. And then obviously what black women having issues
Speaker 1: with fire boys and things of all kinsitive and and
Speaker 1: and and very very difficult periods. Because I have a
Speaker 1: girlfriend who was having heavy bleeding and a lot of
Speaker 1: pain and sometimes she was having her period was making
Speaker 1: her go to the hospital for the pain. So she
Speaker 1: started doing the vaginal steaming in order to um among
Speaker 1: other things. Among other things, so changing diet, no longer
Speaker 1: eating I want to say, she wasn't eating chicken or
Speaker 1: anything anymore. She was like, not is the root of
Speaker 1: all physical evils. I'm gonna tell you that too, because
Speaker 1: reducing sugar house with fibraries, sugar feet ahead say more
Speaker 1: real talk after the break. So so as we're talking
Speaker 1: about these things, it's like, Okay, clearly sugar is an issue.
Speaker 1: You and I all know that that the sugar is
Speaker 1: flooded through the hood in every possible way all through
Speaker 1: it the most powerful drug. Oh it is, it is.
Speaker 1: It's it's flooded. All the sodas and the hugs, those
Speaker 1: little it used to be probably a dollar fifty. Now
Speaker 1: you know, all of those little drinks and things are
Speaker 1: just so much sugar. And it's a setup. It's a
Speaker 1: set up, as somebody who was overweight right now it is.
Speaker 1: It's a set up to tom to slow you down
Speaker 1: and to to a fringe of fund your health because
Speaker 1: health really is wealth. Friends, doesn't matter how much money
Speaker 1: you have, it doesn't matter how many cars or houses
Speaker 1: or whatever. If you're not healthy, man, it changes everything
Speaker 1: for you. So people just get on a regular basis
Speaker 1: something some things that are too about access too, because
Speaker 1: such absolutely yeah, it's like I think what happens is
Speaker 1: that a lot of people want to be healthy, like
Speaker 1: they want the benefits of being healthy, but there's the
Speaker 1: education about it. But then it's also access because you know,
Speaker 1: I live in the in the city and in Phillies
Speaker 1: and when one grocery store you can go into, especially
Speaker 1: the ones in the black neighborhoods or in the black
Speaker 1: and brown neighborhoods, and it's just like none of the
Speaker 1: produce look good. You know what I'm saying, ain't nothing
Speaker 1: on sale, you know what I mean? Everything, and then
Speaker 1: and and then you know, access to healthcare and people
Speaker 1: who we're gonna, you know, tell you what's going on
Speaker 1: with you. It's just like so much of that is
Speaker 1: just hard to to to get around, you know, the
Speaker 1: stuff that's in your way. I don't you think sometimes
Speaker 1: it's mental work too that you don't feel like doing,
Speaker 1: Like you don't feel like doing the research and find
Speaker 1: out the alternative to this. This is what I know.
Speaker 1: I know this price point. I mean, it's a lot
Speaker 1: of gray in there. I feel like two Asia. It's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I have six kids, and I make pretty decent money.
Speaker 1: I have six kids, I make decent money, Okay. When
Speaker 1: I go into the grocery store, okay, and I'm buying food,
Speaker 1: I have to think about how quickly that my family
Speaker 1: is gonna go through that food, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: and when I'm gonna be able to replenish that. So
Speaker 1: I think a lot about how much things cost, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And obviously fresh you know, fruit
Speaker 1: and vegetables, of course, that's a no brainer. But then
Speaker 1: also too, you have to think about the way that
Speaker 1: people work, the way they go to school. Will those
Speaker 1: things go bad it? Will they be able to come
Speaker 1: home on time to cook every night? All these different
Speaker 1: things are all things I have dealt with. These are
Speaker 1: things that I have been faced with. When I'll even
Speaker 1: say things like vitamins vitamin supplements, if I'm gonna how
Speaker 1: do I look only being the only person in the
Speaker 1: house taking supplements? But then I don't want to give
Speaker 1: the B S supplements to my kids. So then what
Speaker 1: might cost you twenty dollars for a bottle of this
Speaker 1: or that, I gotta buy four times that much. So
Speaker 1: then you're telling me I got to spend two hundred
Speaker 1: dollars a month on supplements, two hundred dollars on supplements,
Speaker 1: when I got to spend at least four hundred dollars
Speaker 1: every week, every week and a half to two weeks
Speaker 1: just on groceries alone. Now, mind you, everybody doesn't have
Speaker 1: a house with six kids in it. But what I'm
Speaker 1: saying is that I make decent money and I have
Speaker 1: six kids. When I think about people who are making
Speaker 1: not very decent money, and then thet's say they have
Speaker 1: three kids, but this is the state. It's the same
Speaker 1: kind of thing, if not first. And I just think
Speaker 1: sometimes we just gotta remember in terms of health, to
Speaker 1: remember the access is an issue. So people don't feel
Speaker 1: like they're failing themselves because they can't eliminate sugar or
Speaker 1: they if they want their kids to have something to
Speaker 1: drink in the house, or whatever the case may be.
Speaker 1: And let's say, you know, I don't know. I mean,
Speaker 1: obviously water is obvious, but they can't afford X y Z.
Speaker 1: It's a slow walk. It could be a slow walk.
Speaker 1: It's gotta be a walk. Let me say this age
Speaker 1: of great and danceler. Just because it's hard doesn't mean
Speaker 1: that I don't have to do it. Like I enjoyed
Speaker 1: my COVID time. I ate and I enjoyed it. And
Speaker 1: when I and when I landed Mahellia, I was like,
Speaker 1: I am going to be Mahellia. Okay, I'm gonna eat
Speaker 1: this hair and it's off on a character and you know,
Speaker 1: and like that was really my mindset, like I'm about
Speaker 1: to be great at this. I'm gonna do what best
Speaker 1: liked and I'm gonna do it. Look now I'm in
Speaker 1: this position and I have to to get healthy because
Speaker 1: that I don't feel good. I just don't feel good.
Speaker 1: And it doesn't make a difference. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: have the options. The options are, but the reality is,
Speaker 1: let's just deal with the reality. Reality is, you have
Speaker 1: to drink water. It's not a choice. The reality is
Speaker 1: you have to cut down on sugar. It's not a choice.
Speaker 1: Look if my mother, I'm just saying, I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: we went through a very very hard time financially and
Speaker 1: when I was growing up, and my mom, you know,
Speaker 1: she just caught the long bus. She got on one
Speaker 1: of them buses. She had a transpass in Philadelphia. That's
Speaker 1: that's a little ticket that takes you to let you
Speaker 1: catch bus after bus. They were pretty expensive at the time,
Speaker 1: but she had to trans pass and she would go
Speaker 1: all the way out to the boonies, you know, to
Speaker 1: suburbia to go to the thrift stores to get good clothes,
Speaker 1: because the clothes in my community, the you know, they
Speaker 1: weren't really working. You know, the pieces of something that
Speaker 1: it didn't last very long. Put it in the watch
Speaker 1: twice and it's a rap, you know. So she she
Speaker 1: went out to the suburbs. This is this is like
Speaker 1: a part of the journey when we're talking about like
Speaker 1: we have to, you know, care for ourselves. Maybe that
Speaker 1: means taking a long trip. Maybe that's the long bus
Speaker 1: to the farmer's market. I'm not saying that it's gonna
Speaker 1: be easy. Everything ain't easy ship, but it's just it's like,
Speaker 1: damn because the sugar water this one saying. I'm not
Speaker 1: trying to say that people shouldn't put forth effort. Obviously,
Speaker 1: Like I said, I've seen this from a lot of
Speaker 1: different angles. I've been overweight. I am in this at
Speaker 1: this current moment, but I've lost tons of weight. I've
Speaker 1: been on some of these programs worked out. You look
Speaker 1: great by the way I saw you in your multi
Speaker 1: colored dress, and can I can I just say that
Speaker 1: I didn't have on anything underneath of it. There was
Speaker 1: no type of apparatus underneath that dress, and you look good.
Speaker 1: I've been I've been back and forth between these things
Speaker 1: multiple times. So I do I understand there's a certain
Speaker 1: there's a certain sensibility that we have to implore no
Speaker 1: matter what we're doing. Like for example, yeah, you could
Speaker 1: just not buy any juice. Okay, that's actually saves you money.
Speaker 1: So there are some things. Yeah, there are some things
Speaker 1: that we can do, and some things that are birth
Speaker 1: out of poverty that actually are better for us, like
Speaker 1: cooking more at home and things like that. But I
Speaker 1: think it's important to really kind of stress and understand
Speaker 1: that even if you have desire to do better, access
Speaker 1: to better things is often linked to money and and
Speaker 1: and and privilege, and when those things are not in
Speaker 1: the space where you are, it can be very difficult
Speaker 1: to make these types of chance ages. It's That's all
Speaker 1: I'm saying, is that. And I've been the mother in
Speaker 1: the store thinking, oh, well, no, I need to buy this,
Speaker 1: or but I needed I needed to last, I needed
Speaker 1: to stretch. Uh should I do this? Should I do that?
Speaker 1: And and I and I can just I can relate
Speaker 1: to that. That's all I'm saying. I'm not saying it
Speaker 1: is the counter the counter to that kind of like,
Speaker 1: all right, so I feel I feel you on You
Speaker 1: don't have to resources. You have this drive, you want
Speaker 1: to change, you want to make things short, things are safe, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you gotta buy these badass grocries this week. It
Speaker 1: is all you can afford. However, I'm gonna make sure
Speaker 1: that these kids get outside and at least walk around
Speaker 1: the track to that. Yeah, no, I like it, And
Speaker 1: I think that's what I'm saying. So, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like it's something there, it's something free you can do,
Speaker 1: you know. Oh yeah, you're not confined to everything. And
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm saying, I'm just throwing that out
Speaker 1: there because I think we're talking about freezing fat and
Speaker 1: we're talking about all of this different stuff and I'm
Speaker 1: just like, well, for the average woman, how accessible is that? Like,
Speaker 1: I mean crazy, But we're talking about different levels of
Speaker 1: staying healthy, right, so we also can talk about intermittent fasting,
Speaker 1: like we can talk about things that you can do
Speaker 1: at home. Like I don't guess what. I'm not a vegan,
Speaker 1: but I was trying not to eat dairy during the weekdays,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. On the weekends, that's cheaper,
Speaker 1: by the way, because dairy is expensive. People. We know
Speaker 1: that dairy is back for us when we feel that
Speaker 1: mucus and I said that when we wake up there
Speaker 1: that today so and not for nothing. I know I
Speaker 1: shouldn't be eating dairy when the moment. I watched the
Speaker 1: Peter video and at the end of it, they said, well,
Speaker 1: if rats drink rat milk and uh, bats drink bat milk,
Speaker 1: why is your human as drinking coyle milk? I don't know.
Speaker 1: But so interesting about Yeah, But that's that's so interesting
Speaker 1: is because certain values that we grew up having is
Speaker 1: like almost indoctrination, Like we were when we were like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's gonna build healthy bones. And I remember the milk
Speaker 1: commercials like this is what you was in industry? It
Speaker 1: was some bullshit. It was all eyes to build this
Speaker 1: fucking milk industry, and we are all living in the
Speaker 1: bullshit of what it did to us as kids. And
Speaker 1: for milk, they gave us powdered milk, yes, any anything
Speaker 1: milky alive, And now folks are raised on all kinds
Speaker 1: of nut milk. Like who even knew that we could
Speaker 1: just strain the nuts over night and some milk and
Speaker 1: call it my weird old neighbors that none of the
Speaker 1: neighbors understood who was playing guitar with a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of plants all around his window and uh smelling of
Speaker 1: some kind of wonderful inset that dude knew that nuting
Speaker 1: milk was a real thing. Yeah, the sisters that wore
Speaker 1: the guard the gayle as that we didn't understand that
Speaker 1: was still wearing that. Those those elders they knew, they
Speaker 1: understood when he had That's very true. They were raised
Speaker 1: to be vegetarians, that new satan. I was like, what
Speaker 1: is it? We Arry Ridz, what is this? I'm in
Speaker 1: high school with vegetary d Yeah, yeah, I mean they're
Speaker 1: they're some of this stuff is is old, tried and true.
Speaker 1: I'm two dollars. I just want to say that I'm
Speaker 1: a milk two dollars. My child only drinks almond milk,
Speaker 1: so I know would be fancy too. And they just
Speaker 1: be like, wait, wait, waiting women where because no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry because when you go in the hood, see
Speaker 1: a lot of y'all talking stuff because you've got time
Speaker 1: these women and people who work in nine to five
Speaker 1: jobs who coming home immediately have to cook. And the
Speaker 1: only store in the neighborhood, if it does have almond milk,
Speaker 1: it's five and six dollars. Let's stop, everybody, and you
Speaker 1: got spay and you got to help me that. It's
Speaker 1: because it's two dollars and not just in traded Joe.
Speaker 1: So I didn't know that I didn't know in the
Speaker 1: corner store and they mark it up like five times
Speaker 1: what it is store. I'll go to the corners to
Speaker 1: all the time, but I don't go to the corner
Speaker 1: store for my milk. So that's why I didn't know.
Speaker 1: I don't pay attention. I go cornasto up at certain things.
Speaker 1: So I feel you in the privilege of that. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, like, even in the
Speaker 1: markets that are in some of these communities, then you
Speaker 1: want somebody then then we discussed getting on the long bus,
Speaker 1: So getting on the long bus also requires time to
Speaker 1: get on the long bus. It also requires a lot
Speaker 1: of different things, access to a lot of stuff that
Speaker 1: are folks. I just think sometimes we don't understand some
Speaker 1: of the basic things that folks do not have access to.
Speaker 1: I think that's yeah, I just saying. I just think
Speaker 1: when it comes to health, like specifically around health, right,
Speaker 1: I think that we just have a perception that the
Speaker 1: majority of people are living in middle class life, that
Speaker 1: a lot of these things are associated with middle class living,
Speaker 1: access to things and the affordability to to to get
Speaker 1: these certain things. We do live in a country where
Speaker 1: the vast majority of the people black, white, and otherwise
Speaker 1: don't have access to some of these things. And the
Speaker 1: more stuff you pile into the pot, black, poor, whatever,
Speaker 1: these things become more and more difficult. So just getting
Speaker 1: getting almond milk at two dollars, I'm sorry, I gotta
Speaker 1: just jump out there and say that ain't everywhere, and
Speaker 1: that's mostly not everywhere. We're gonna take a quick break
Speaker 1: and then we'll be right back with education. When you
Speaker 1: when you're interested in something, you find out, there is
Speaker 1: a drive to find out more. That was That was
Speaker 1: my quote in high school. The more I see, the
Speaker 1: more I do, the more I do, the more I
Speaker 1: want to see, you know, saying it's it's if you're interested.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I know about being broke. I definitely
Speaker 1: know about that. And I know that My mother got
Speaker 1: up at four o'clock in the morning and took the
Speaker 1: long bus to the docks and came back with a
Speaker 1: bunch of fruits and vegetables and started making smooth these
Speaker 1: for my community. This is not myth, this is not bullshit.
Speaker 1: This is real. She just started making smoothies. She bought
Speaker 1: a book. I can't remember which one it was, but
Speaker 1: she bought a book and found out about herbs and
Speaker 1: such and started making these smoothies. And next thing I know,
Speaker 1: people are standing around the block waiting for Joycey smoothies
Speaker 1: and she was charging ten dollars, which was over ten dollars.
Speaker 1: I know. She's also bought the big cups and she's
Speaker 1: making I mean big joints. So when I asked people
Speaker 1: on my way out, like, y'all really like my mom smoothies,
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, whoa you know, um, when we
Speaker 1: have them, we don't have to eat for the rest
Speaker 1: of the day. So it's a ten dollar old day
Speaker 1: party question. How come after that, everybody on your block
Speaker 1: didn't get up at four o'clock in the morning and
Speaker 1: make their own smoothies. There has to be a desire
Speaker 1: for it. But what I'm saying that has to be
Speaker 1: a desire. I can't believe that not a single person
Speaker 1: that had your mother smoothie had no desire to be healthy.
Speaker 1: I don't know about everybody. I know that when she
Speaker 1: stopped making them, I ain't see them no more until
Speaker 1: they were in the stores and everybody was going at
Speaker 1: the smoothie mark and the smoothie spot in the smoothies
Speaker 1: it's also a matter of convenience, and ain't people probably
Speaker 1: don't think that way. When I can get up, I
Speaker 1: don't have to get up before the more and I
Speaker 1: can just wait from Miss Joyce and I got the
Speaker 1: ten dollar, let me just say my ten bucks and
Speaker 1: just sometimes that's the thought too. It's just so many
Speaker 1: grades in that that thought process, isn't it. All I'm
Speaker 1: saying is that I understand the variables, but if it's
Speaker 1: something that you really want to do, like and I'm
Speaker 1: speaking really directly to my myself right now, because I
Speaker 1: don't I don't want to work up to and I
Speaker 1: have to. I don't feel like drinking this green ship
Speaker 1: that I'm drinking right now, but I'm gonna drink this
Speaker 1: green ship because I know it's better for my body.
Speaker 1: I don't want to, but I have to stick to it.
Speaker 1: And the more excuses that I make, oh, well, you
Speaker 1: know I was trying to. Yeah, I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it. It's not gonna work out. They're not we're
Speaker 1: not shooting down. It's not happening now, is happening a
Speaker 1: year from now or or a little sooner than that.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless, what I can't hold onto this my knees hurt.
Speaker 1: I came there, don't want to be some bread and
Speaker 1: the fact that our mother's not for nothing. The seventies, mamas,
Speaker 1: there was a little bit of a holistic kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and there wasn't rich mamas, because I don't I don't
Speaker 1: think from a middle class refective. I do sometimes have
Speaker 1: the tendency to think from a working class perspective. So
Speaker 1: I I apologize for that and trying to be more,
Speaker 1: but in the sense of, like, I know, my mom
Speaker 1: wasn't rich, but there were certain things and books that,
Speaker 1: like you said, Jill, she wanted more. So my mother
Speaker 1: is still giving me books. I got a stretching book. Okay,
Speaker 1: likes she is in this wholistic game. She is not trying.
Speaker 1: She's trying to age gracefully. She listen, she ain't what
Speaker 1: she ain't wont off that daughter, You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So girl, let me tell you something. My mother, my
Speaker 1: mother got up, every got up and did remember that
Speaker 1: lady who used to do the work out in the morning,
Speaker 1: the twin workout four more, three more, two more. My
Speaker 1: mother did that. My mother got up and did her
Speaker 1: fifty My mother got up and did the fifty sit ups,
Speaker 1: and I'm saying all of those things, and and again
Speaker 1: and again. It's not to be Devil's advocate or anything.
Speaker 1: I just was trying to throw out some other aspects
Speaker 1: of things we might want to think about. And of course,
Speaker 1: anything you want to do, you have to want it.
Speaker 1: But also to what I love about what you guys
Speaker 1: are saying ultimately is that it is a life or
Speaker 1: death situation and it's also a form of resistance because
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, we know what we're
Speaker 1: up against, and our health and how we treat our
Speaker 1: bodies is so important because there's so many things attacking it,
Speaker 1: whether it be what your diet is, how much you
Speaker 1: move your body, your mental health because we've talked about
Speaker 1: this on this show before, your mental wellness. All these
Speaker 1: things are ingredients to, you know, the type of priorities
Speaker 1: that we have to make for ourselves because if no
Speaker 1: one's coming to check for us, they gotta so we
Speaker 1: gotta be able to share this information with each other
Speaker 1: and be fully, you know, aware of the challenges that
Speaker 1: we have and how to fix, fix and meet those
Speaker 1: challenges because no one else is gonna care. They're just
Speaker 1: gonna let us drop off. They're gonna let us have diabetes,
Speaker 1: They're gonna letus that sad disease. They're gonna let us
Speaker 1: have all of that stuff and have access to the
Speaker 1: worst possible health care. So we gotta look out for
Speaker 1: each other and being a better friend and help people
Speaker 1: be accountable. Shoot, I know, girl, I don't want no
Speaker 1: I mean accountability partnership. I'm going right back. I'm going
Speaker 1: right back to this long bus. Friends. That's that's what
Speaker 1: it seems like. It's like a metaphor for what I
Speaker 1: have to do now. I gotta catch the long bus.
Speaker 1: I promise you. I could cry right now, but I'm
Speaker 1: just I'm I'm too uncomfortable. Oddly I fit my clothes.
Speaker 1: I don't know how. I don't know. This is when
Speaker 1: you know you gotta make some changes when you say
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know how I'm fitting any
Speaker 1: of my clothes, but I'm I'm fitting some of it,
Speaker 1: most of it. But I don't like how. I feel
Speaker 1: like I worked so hard in the past, you know, Scott, Damn.
Speaker 1: There there was moments where I had a song. I
Speaker 1: used to be like, Scott hate me, he hate me
Speaker 1: so much, and I hate him too. And then he
Speaker 1: would show up and I would sing this God hates me.
Speaker 1: Oh God, it's terrible. I hated the song. I hated him,
Speaker 1: I hated to see his face. But every time we
Speaker 1: left each other, I felt a little bit stronger and
Speaker 1: I felt a little bit better, and I and he's far.
Speaker 1: He's far, and I don't know nobody out here like that.
Speaker 1: So what that means is that I gotta do that
Speaker 1: for myself. My my girlfriend girlfriend swears by that Peloton. Okay,
Speaker 1: she swears Peloton is a thing, and they have an app,
Speaker 1: So you don't actually need the need a Peloton Palestine.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fine. Well, don't be waiting and not doing nothing.
Speaker 1: Don't be waiting. Don't be one of those equipment we're
Speaker 1: talking about. That's what I'm talking about. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about. Have YouTube workouts. You're talking about, getting rid
Speaker 1: of every excuse not getting on the loan bus right now,
Speaker 1: not at this moment, but the metaphors that that I am.
Speaker 1: This is about to be the long bus. I gotta
Speaker 1: I gotta go walk because the bus stop. I didn't
Speaker 1: get to the bus stop yet. Because you gotta get
Speaker 1: to the stop and this is the thing too, And
Speaker 1: I'm so glad again. I know we talked about the
Speaker 1: generational changes and stuff, but I'm so glad that we're
Speaker 1: communicating more about what growing older means, right, because things
Speaker 1: that we weren't told, right, Like, we weren't told a
Speaker 1: lot of our our elders had neat issues because they
Speaker 1: had too much weight on their bodies. Right, we weren't
Speaker 1: told that our skin changes over every ten years. And
Speaker 1: you can't use the same facial things that you use
Speaker 1: because it may be effective. I had to learn that
Speaker 1: when I turned thirty and proactive wasn't working anymore. They'll
Speaker 1: tell you about adult acne. They don't tell you even
Speaker 1: about your period and how that changesn't so. And so
Speaker 1: I tell you about your sweat glands and how you
Speaker 1: might stink and you might have to do better about
Speaker 1: what kind of deodorants you use and all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1: It's like a lot of things, you're right, And that
Speaker 1: you lose muscle as you get older. People. So, like
Speaker 1: my mother said to me, like ten years ago, she
Speaker 1: was like, your cardiore real cute, but I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: you to pick up some of them weights because you're
Speaker 1: gonna lose You're about to lose muscle, and it's when
Speaker 1: the fifties hit. Listen. I girl, I experienced that, that
Speaker 1: losing muscle thing. I used to be so strong in
Speaker 1: my upper body, and I've always been strong in my
Speaker 1: lower body. I still am. It's just a thing. It's genetic.
Speaker 1: I think it don't even matter how big I get
Speaker 1: is such a weird thing. But my upper body always
Speaker 1: had a lot of strength in my upper body. And
Speaker 1: the other day I tried to do something simple and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, baby, you you have to work
Speaker 1: on this. And because I've always been so super focused
Speaker 1: on things like drinking water and I haven't you know,
Speaker 1: processed food and stuff like that, and cardio. You do
Speaker 1: cardio a lot, your dancing and cardio I dance and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But I never thought about that with
Speaker 1: those weights that I'm glad you brought that up because
Speaker 1: I have done so much of that other stuff and
Speaker 1: felt like, yeah, I feel I feel good, you know, girl.
Speaker 1: Till I tried to do something that required strength. I
Speaker 1: went to my my girlfriend's party and she's now Quinn quadrainarian.
Speaker 1: You know um that come on, qu So I go
Speaker 1: to the party and I literally I don't know. I
Speaker 1: don't know how long the party was, but I know
Speaker 1: that I danced from the time I got there to
Speaker 1: the time and I felt great about it. I had
Speaker 1: a good ass time too, was nice. The little tacos
Speaker 1: was hatting, you know what I mean. And I traveled
Speaker 1: across the country to be there a good time. Man.
Speaker 1: The next day, I felt like I had been hit
Speaker 1: by several busses busses in there, and I was like, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'm about to be I'm about to hit
Speaker 1: this fifty. I'm about to hit this fifty and I
Speaker 1: we're talking about this. We're talking about health today because
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even front it is directly impacting
Speaker 1: my my life right now, right now, and there's that
Speaker 1: there is not a single excuse that I can offer myself.
Speaker 1: I'm trying my best not to beat myself up and
Speaker 1: call myself about my name. But I have said, if
Speaker 1: you don't get up, you know what I mean, you've
Speaker 1: been counting yourself out. You could have been already up.
Speaker 1: Listen on my neck it hears you. Let me tell y'all,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it. Okay, this is my fattest I
Speaker 1: didn't laid in the bed and count it jumping jack,
Speaker 1: So listen, just counting them in the bed with my eyes.
Speaker 1: This is how many you would be doing right now
Speaker 1: if I was saying enough. This is how many I'll
Speaker 1: be doing. Like I have planned many many walks. I
Speaker 1: don't have planned the walks. I have decided I'm gonna
Speaker 1: take the walks. And Lie is so disappointed in us,
Speaker 1: but we know that she loves because now I'm not disappointed.
Speaker 1: I'm literally thinking like we all do. Like y'all. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you notice, but I always have on
Speaker 1: a sports braun workout year because I wake up and
Speaker 1: put it on because at some point today I'm gonna
Speaker 1: work out. Now that it don't happen every day, at
Speaker 1: least I can look at myself with shame by the
Speaker 1: end of the day. If all day you ain't done nothing,
Speaker 1: you just wasted workout. You know what. I appreciate that,
Speaker 1: because that's that's the hardest part for me, is that
Speaker 1: I'm like, I gotta put on this sports bra. I
Speaker 1: got to put on this. The sip up ones are awesome.
Speaker 1: They're kind of even fun to put on. You might
Speaker 1: to step up in the front. I'm seeing them on
Speaker 1: the interweb, but I don't know what that is. We'll
Speaker 1: be right back. I'm gonna say this too. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: say this too as you get older. Not everybody, okay,
Speaker 1: because some of the saints and they're gonna be like,
Speaker 1: not me. But we have to think about some of
Speaker 1: the saints and the shake saying, man, they're not gonna
Speaker 1: admit to this because they don't do this. But we
Speaker 1: gotta talk about the hidden sugar in the libations at
Speaker 1: something about But I'm saying, like, let's go out out there,
Speaker 1: because what I will do is watch somebody doing something
Speaker 1: that I want to do, like some sort of dancing
Speaker 1: that I want to do with with grapes of a
Speaker 1: certain nature. Yeah, I mean, red is good for you.
Speaker 1: Red is good for the heart the owner of us
Speaker 1: so much? What is it like? I was mad if
Speaker 1: my glasses this big, I'm not for nothing. I get
Speaker 1: myself creditor, skip my ice cream for wine. I'm just
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do both. I'm gonna just do one.
Speaker 1: That's another thing, keeping one thing for another. Yes, So

Speaker 1: that's better. The less intri detrimental, like these are the things,

Speaker 1: a goal to. It's a treat. It's not to rebuke
Speaker 1: the gas station fried chicken. I'm trying to tell you
Speaker 1: that the gas station fried chicken is the best chicken
Speaker 1: I've ever had, and I think about it. I think
Speaker 1: about it often, and then I'll just go to the
Speaker 1: gas station and say that I was going to get
Speaker 1: something else, but I'm really going to get that chicken.
Speaker 1: I'm really going to do that. And I have to
Speaker 1: stop this foolishness just because the children, the child have
Speaker 1: some ice cream, because these children over here like to
Speaker 1: believe that they should have deserved every night supposed to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not that's not how I grew up.

Speaker 1: things are not easy. I know that finances aren't the
Speaker 1: way you know that everybody wants them to be on
Speaker 1: a consistent basis. But this is a priority. It's more
Speaker 1: of a priority than that bag ordumn shoes or even
Speaker 1: that bill. Babe. You might have to put a little
