1
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: Personally the old Man.

2
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: We are officially in season three. How I have done

3
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 2: already fifty one episodes.

4
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 3: Is wild and amazing.

5
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm just really happy that this podcast exists. It's been

6
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: a fun last few weeks with the employees and residents

7
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 2: of Apes Garden talking all about their life story and advice.

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 2: If you love that episode or any other episode in particular,

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: let me know as I start planning this new season

10
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: this weekend. Next we're getting into some health and wellness

11
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 2: but root cause style. Stephanie Adler joins me this week.

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 2: She is a hormone, gut health and fertility practitioner. She

13
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 2: helps people get to the root cause of issues, and

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: I think that's what we're all looking for these days.

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: So let's go.

16
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: I'm here right now with Stephanie Adler. She's a functional

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: health practitioner and really focus on helping people find the

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 2: root cause of so many things. And we're going to

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: get into a lot of topics. But Stephanie, I'm really

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: happy to have you here.

21
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Morgan, I'm so excited to be

22
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: here with you.

23
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is going to be fun.

24
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 2: Okay, We're going to start like bottom kind of out

25
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: of the barrel, because gosh, with so.

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,839
Speaker 3: Much content and things to consume, we.

27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 2: Are getting constantly so many different understandings of what it

28
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: means to be healthy and to eat healthy. But in

29
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 2: your expertise, what does that actually mean and what does

30
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: it look like?

31
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: Totally? And I just want to have a lot of

32
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: sympathy and compassion for anyone who's about to hear what

33
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: I'm about to say and be like, so everything I've

34
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: been doing my whole life has been wrong, because that's

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: definitely how I felt. And so a little bit of background.

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: I was like so into health and wellness and like

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: thought that I was doing all the things and reading

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: all the BuzzFeed lists and all this and all the

39
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: Instagram posts. And then I went to school nutrition, but

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: holistic nutrition. I chose not to go the way of

41
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: the registered dietitian. Here's the FDA's food pyramid recommendations, and

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: it blew my mind because it was so different from

43
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 1: what I thought was healthy. I had been like a

44
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: pseudo vegetarian who was a pescatarian, and I was like,

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: up on my high core, some of this is the

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 1: healthiest thing, like Butter's the devil, And now I recommend

47
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: to my clients animal fats and more animal fats. It

48
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: is so important for every single cell in our body

49
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: that we have a really healthy cell membrane which is

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: made up of fats, and these animal fats are the

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: best possible kinds. So when we're thinking about what is

52
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: really healthy, the thing that I actually ask people to

53
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: do is think back to what your great grandparents were eating.

54
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: Go back to a time before the industrialization of food.

55
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: Go back to the time before the food lobbies and

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: all of these interests that are driven by money had

57
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: a say over what was healthy for us. And look

58
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: towards not even just our great grandparents, but indigenous cultures

59
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: around the world who had so much much health and

60
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: so much vitality before we brought in Western food and

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: modern food. And when we look to that, we really

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: see what is so deeply nourishing, What it makes us

63
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: most fertile, what helps us have the most energy, and

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: what is overall just like for better vitality.

65
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,839
Speaker 2: Oh wow, And it's funny you say that, because I'm

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: not gonna lie I am vegetarian.

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 3: I'm not vegan. I do eat eggs, and I like cheese,

68
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: and I like Greek yogurt.

69
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 2: And all of that stuff, But mine's an ethical thing.

70
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: I was eight years old when I decided this. I

71
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 2: was never like I'm going vegetarian to be healthy. It

72
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: was I love the animals, and then it just stuck.

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: But I'm a very unusual case because I've been doing

74
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: that since I was eight years old. My body's so

75
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 2: accustomed to that lifestyle now. But I could never do

76
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: the full vegan. I can never go in that route.

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: So I am probably on your other spectrum of people

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 2: who are like, wait, what what did you just say?

79
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: And I think that it's an important distinction there. Like again,

80
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: when we look at these different intigenerous cultures around the world,

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: none of them were fully plant based, but a lot

82
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: of them weren't eating very much meat or hardly any

83
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: meat at all, And so we can as long as

84
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: you're eating dairy and eggs and like getting those again,

85
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: those are really important animal fats, which is what exactly

86
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: I was talking about that could totally work for your

87
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: body and really thrive. I have a group program that

88
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: I run, and it was super funny because for a

89
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: long time I was attracting all these vegetarians who were

90
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: having a lot of health problems, and it became like

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 1: an inside joke inside the program. It was like where

92
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: vegetarians come to get happy because they would start eating

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: more animal foods. So I get where you're coming from.

94
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: I used to be there, and I think that can

95
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: still work for people as long as they're doing it

96
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: super intentionally and eating some animal products.

97
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, I never thought going to begin was

98
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: ever going to be my options And I was like, Okay,

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 2: I just got to find the right way to do this,

100
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: and it's transitioning and it's understanding because it's also just

101
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: such a heavy battle to fight because to your point,

102
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: what we're thinking of with our grandparents and back in

103
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 2: the day and indigenous cultures eating meat then wasn't this

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 2: entire experience of what it is now, and so they

105
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 2: don't have this like ethical battle. There was truly, like

106
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: I don't know the best way to describe it, but

107
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,920
Speaker 2: there wasn't what there is now with industrialized meat, which

108
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: is why so many people have an ethical problem with it.

109
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: For sure, And I came to it a lot from

110
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: that perspective as well. I won't say like when I

111
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: was initially aveditarian that it was holy that, but for

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: a lot of my clients, like I do think I

113
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: will say to them that, like, if your option is

114
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: Tyson chicken or no chicken, we maybe should choose no chicken.

115
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: The beautiful thing is there are so many amazing options.

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: Like where we get all of our meat is a

117
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: farm fifteen minutes from our house, and we go, we

118
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: see the animals. My son pets them, he chases the

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: little ducks around, Like it's very much the environment that

120
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be living in and the best

121
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: life that they had until the day their life is over.

122
00:05:55,320 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: And like we witness that transition of life, were able

123
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: to see and be part of that. And for some

124
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: people that's a lot. But I really think that if

125
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: we're going to be eating meat, it should we should

126
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: be able to have that relationship with our food and

127
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: like really understand where it comes from and have a

128
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,040
Speaker 1: lot of respect for that animal.

129
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: Yes, which is also why so many people love farmers'

130
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 2: markets and have those I am a huge activist for

131
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: farmers market. I go and I spend my Saturday mornings

132
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: there and I even not eating meat, I'm like, this

133
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: is awesome.

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 3: This is good food. I know where it's coming from,

135
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 3: and it just makes me feel really good. So all

136
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: that to say, I totally understand that experience.

137
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it because I in my brain of

138
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: the animal lover would be like no chance.

139
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 3: But on the way with other things, So I totally

140
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 3: see where you're coming from.

141
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Now.

142
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people too who feel like

143
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: they're doing all the right things right. They feel like

144
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,679
Speaker 2: they're eating healthy, they're working out, they're moving their body,

145
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: they're doing the things that they have been told they

146
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 2: have to do, but they can't lose weight. Like what

147
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: is happening with your body when you feel like you're

148
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: making the right steps? But maybe there's some things that

149
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 2: we're missing totally.

150
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,680
Speaker 1: And this is a really common thing that I see

151
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: in my practice, and it's like the most frustrating thing

152
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: in the world, right, I Oh, And usually there's a

153
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: couple of different factors. So the first one is stress.

154
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 1: And when I say stress, it doesn't just mean oh,

155
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 1: I'm stressed out about my job or my boyfriend or

156
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: my finances or whatever. It is. The body has sources

157
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: of internal stress, and then we also have external stress. Right,

158
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: So at the core of all of these different things

159
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: that I'm going to say, it could be We really

160
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: just need to think about the fact that if the

161
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: body is in a state of stress, it does not

162
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: think that losing weight is safe. Is it famine? Is

163
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: there a reason why you are so stressed out that

164
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the body is all I must preserve all resources by

165
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: any means possible, And a lot of times with exercise,

166
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: this is something I see all the time. I tell

167
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: my clients, I want you to stop exercising, go for walks,

168
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: go for a nice bike ride with a friend, but

169
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: the beach, whatever, like, don't be bedridden, but stop doing

170
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: especially intense workouts. But typically any sort of like real exercise,

171
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and that plus some of these nutrition changes, is when

172
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: we start to see the weight fly off. And it

173
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: is so counterintuitive to what everyone has always been taught.

174
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: But when we're thinking about specifically female bodies, we need

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: to understand that they're super primal and everything we do

176
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: is based around reproduction, and the body, when it feels stressed,

177
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 1: will see exercise as additional stress and thinks that it

178
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: has to hold on to protect us for any means possible,

179
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 1: especially if we were to get pregnant, which is probably

180
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: also not prioritizing hormones or reproduction. If you're that stressed out.

181
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: But a lot of times it's that extra exercise that

182
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: tips the scale into too stress to lose weight. Historically,

183
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: if we think back again to like our ancestors, this

184
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: is probably more than our great grandparents go a few

185
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: more generations back. If you are running, what did that mean?

186
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 3: You were like in survival mode?

187
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were in danger. So like maybe you feel

188
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of an adrenaline high after going for

189
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 1: a run, but your body is in a state of

190
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 1: a lot of active stress while you're doing that. It

191
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 1: thinks you are running from a tiger and things, you're

192
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: running for your life. Similarly, like those experiences of like

193
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: heavy intensity, our body views it as stress. And so

194
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: that's the first thing, is like a lot of times

195
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: people are just putting too much stress on an already

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: stressed out body in a stressed out world.

197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: Okay, and before I want you to go on to

198
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 2: these other parts, but I would love to know because

199
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 2: nobody's ever everybody always says, are you stressed, and nobody's

200
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 2: ever detailed it in that way to be like, no,

201
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 2: this is actionly what that means.

202
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 3: Like how if you're obviously you.

203
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: Have external factors and you know how to handle that

204
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: stress and try and maneuver it. But when your body

205
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: is stressed, how do you get your body out of

206
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: stressed state?

207
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's a great question. It's really the million

208
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: dollar question. And there's a few different things that I'll

209
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: typically recommend for people. A first one, it sounds wu

210
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: but talking to your body and telling your body that

211
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,440
Speaker 1: you're safe is important. And a big one like truly

212
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: just taking three deep breaths, which can shift you from

213
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: a sympathetic active stress state to a parasympathetic, relaxed state,

214
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: free deep breaths and saying to your body, you are safe,

215
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: you are loved, bring it down and doing that a

216
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 1: few times a day is like one way to really

217
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: just on a cellular level, tell your body, okay, it's okay,

218
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 1: to calm down, and like we don't have to be

219
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: hyper alert and just slowing down. The second one is

220
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: figuring out hidden blocks to wellness, and so some of

221
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: these things might be toxins that we've come into contact with,

222
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 1: either in our homes or on our bodies or in

223
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: the greater world. And doing practices that help us detalks

224
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 1: regularly and support our drainage pathways, so our body isn't

225
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: fighting that intense toxic load all the time, which puts

226
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: a lot of stress on our bodies. So that's like

227
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: an easy thing that people can start doing at home

228
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: and paying more attention to. And then another one is

229
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: figuring out other potential stressors in the body. And this

230
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: one is a little bit less DIY and would be

231
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: like engaging the help of a practitioner where we're looking

232
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: for things like potentially gut infections or an imbalance of

233
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: good and bad bacteria in the gut, which you're influencing

234
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: everything from our brains to our metabolism to our immune system.

235
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: We're potentially looking for things like heavy metals, et cetera.

236
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 1: So at minimum, some deep breast telling yourself that you're safe,

237
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: and then at maximum, maybe diving a little bit deeper

238
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 1: and seeing, okay, like why is my individual body so

239
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: stress if the rest of my life is cool.

240
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: Yes, Okay, I'm glad you detailed that some more, because

241
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 2: I do feel like there's a lot of people out there,

242
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: especially I'm also someone who does hit workouts, and I

243
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,359
Speaker 2: do feel stressed from that, and I've had my fluctuations

244
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: where I'm.

245
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 3: Like, okay, I'm only going to do yoga for a while.

246
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: Let's just calm a body doubt and it's moments you

247
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 2: go through the rollercoaster of life.

248
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 3: But I'm so glad you detailed that, because I do think.

249
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 2: A lot of people probably have internal stress happening and

250
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: they just have no idea what's happening and why.

251
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 3: Sorry, I made us go on a detour.

252
00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: Oh and there's just one actually one other thing I

253
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: want to add to that, because look, we could also

254
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,199
Speaker 1: go this could be an entire podcast episode of all

255
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: the stressors. But sometimes also I find like I'll have

256
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 1: there's like different archetypes of people that I see, and

257
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 1: so there's also oftentimes and so if someone's listening to

258
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: this who feels like they're stressed out by like everyday

259
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: things that really shouldn't be that stressful, just like the

260
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: person who's like, like, if I have one more thing,

261
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 1: it's just like at a lot of times that will

262
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: also be mineral imbalances. And sometimes people who are taking

263
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: like pre needles or multivitamins are those like generic let's

264
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: throw a lot of things in here at once. I

265
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: find are some of the worst with that because it's

266
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: causing what we call either calcium or copper toxicity or

267
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: some of these mineral profiles. So if you're someone who

268
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: you're just like, I really feel like I shouldn't be

269
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: as stressed as I am, like when I really look

270
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: at my life, that's actually something to really start to

271
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: pay attention to.

272
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 2: Okay, and what exactly is mineral amounts because I did

273
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: have this to talk about. Anyway, we're just going into

274
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: a different way, which is perfect, But what is that

275
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 2: because I've never heard of that, but for.

276
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and a lot of women have it, and it's

277
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: such a shame to me because it is, in my opinion,

278
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: the number one hack to thriving in the modern world

279
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: as a woman. Seriously. So, just like any nutrients, like

280
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: we all have maybe a basic understanding of we need

281
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: our be vitamins so our hair grows long, and we

282
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: need to see so we don't get scurvy, like we

283
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 1: have their like essential nutrients that we should all be

284
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: getting all the time, and unfortunately, our modern food system

285
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: is very deficient in these nutrients. Hence why a lot

286
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: of people take a lot of supplements. But the problem

287
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 1: is when you start taking supplements blindly, right like, without

288
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: really an understanding of what your baseline is we can

289
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: start to create imbalances in the body. Now every mineral,

290
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: really every vitamin but for the sake of this conversation too,

291
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: but for the sake of this conversation, we're mostly going

292
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: to be focused on minerals. Every minerals has a cofactor.

293
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,839
Speaker 1: They almost have a best friend that's another mineral, and

294
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: their ability to do what they're supposed to do in

295
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: the body is dependent on this other mineral ability to

296
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: do what it's supposed to do in the body. So,

297
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: for example, if you have too much copper, you therefore

298
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: probably aren't going to have enough sinc. They balance each other.

299
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Same with vitamin A in calcium, or vitamin D and calcium.

300
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 1: This is why I see a lot of times people

301
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 1: who are taking vitamin D supplements. It really messes up

302
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 1: their mineral balance because they're not doing it with the

303
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: other cofactors. And so it's a little bit like a dance.

304
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 1: And when these minerals are in balance and we have

305
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: them in the appropriate amounts, we feel calm Our metabolism

306
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: works really well. Our adrenals, which are our stress system,

307
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: is able to show up when we need it to

308
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: and calm down when we need it to, which is

309
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: super important. Our fertility is much more vital. Our ability

310
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: to come back to life postpartum and really feel like

311
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: we have capacity and patience and all of the qualities

312
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: we want to be in a mom. All of this

313
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: is really dependent in what we're seeing in the minerals,

314
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: and most of the time people are just not eating

315
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: mineral rich foods and or are taking supplements that are

316
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: making them out of whack.

317
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,560
Speaker 2: Wow, I had no idea how do you find out

318
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 2: that you do have a mineral imbalance, because if I

319
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: had to guess, the typical blood panel that you do

320
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 2: at a doctor's office is not going to tell you

321
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 2: those things.

322
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: No, and that unfortunately it's not, because it would be

323
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 1: great if it did. But what the blood is, it's

324
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: the highway system. So if you go to the doctor

325
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: and you say, hey, can you test my zinc and

326
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: my magnesium? Sure, And now if you're like really deficient

327
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: or really high in something like a super super intense

328
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: end to the extremes, it might show up in the blood,

329
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: but a lot of times it'll be dependent on what

330
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: you ate for dinner last night and what like. It's

331
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: the highway system and how it's how it travels. So

332
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 1: the testing that I do inside my practice is a

333
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: hair mineral test. So what we do is we take

334
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 1: a sample of hair. You can do it at home

335
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: and you just take a little sample of hair from

336
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: the nape of your neck almost and you send it

337
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: into a lab and they analyze it. And what we're

338
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 1: able to see is by excretion, so how much your

339
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: body is letting out of tissue minerals as opposed to

340
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 1: blood minerals. Now, I know that sounds a little I'm

341
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: getting into the like scientific elements of it, but bear

342
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: with me for just a second. Why this is so

343
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: valuable is because not only are we able to see

344
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: approximately a three month snapshot compared to approximately a thirty

345
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: six hour snapshot. Right, So I'm able to see over

346
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: the course of the past three months what your nutrient

347
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: status looks like. But I'm also able to see how

348
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: your body is dealing with stress because we're able to

349
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: see how much you're pushing out, how much you're utilizing

350
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: so much. So like a lot of times I'll see

351
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: people who come to me and they're like, yeah, my

352
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: doctor says I'm anemic because on their blood work they

353
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: don't have enough iron in their blood, but I'll look

354
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,359
Speaker 1: and in their minerals they have so in their tissue.

355
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: They have so much iron in the tissue, which then

356
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: is telling me it's actually not that you're low in iron,

357
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you're just not able to move it and utilize it properly.

358
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: So it's so much more of an actionable data in

359
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: terms of what we're going Wow.

360
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 3: This is so interesting.

361
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: Okay, I feel like we could keep I know, I

362
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 2: feel like we could keep going down that path, but

363
00:16:58,680 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, I have so many other things to talk

364
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: talk to you about too, So make sure you go

365
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 2: check out Stephanie's stuff if you're like really even more

366
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: curious to.

367
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: Go down that path.

368
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: But I also wanted to talk about cause I saw

369
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 2: you do an episode of your podcast about this, the

370
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 2: Candida infection and how it could be the cause behind

371
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,480
Speaker 2: like brain fog and sugar crabans and yeast infections.

372
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:23,439
Speaker 1: What is this like?

373
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: There's just so many things I've found. I'm like, I've

374
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:26,359
Speaker 2: never even heard of this before.

375
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 3: What's going on?

376
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: Yeah? Totally? Candida. Oh gosh, I have a client she's

377
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: I just thought of her because she's been calling her

378
00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 1: Candida overgrowth. Candace and like she and her husband like

379
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 1: blame everything on Candace. They're like, oh Candace, Like why

380
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: are you doing this, sus So now I just want

381
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: to call it canvas.

382
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 3: We can call her Candace.

383
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 1: I like it, So you have Candace come with it now.

384
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: But basically, candida is a yeast and now Candida, like

385
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: everyone has candida. It is abundant on our skin, like

386
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: it is like it's normal to have some levels of candida.

387
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: But what happens in our modern world even more so

388
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 1: because and I'm not going to get into this so much,

389
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,160
Speaker 1: but like we just a crazy thing to think about

390
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: is we are not only inheriting like genetics from our

391
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: parents and from our grandparents, we're inheriting their microbiome. We

392
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: inherit the makeup of their gut. We start swallowing amniotic

393
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: fluid when we're in the womb and absorbing our mom's microbiome.

394
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 1: And then if we're birth vaginally, we get the exposure

395
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: there of your birth vac section. You're getting whatever's on

396
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: those people's hands. So anyways, we're like seeing more and

397
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: more over time, as people have had more and more antibiotics,

398
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 1: it kills off a section of the gut and the

399
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: gut works as a big ecosystem, okay, And when that

400
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: ecosystem is in balance, everything has its place. So you

401
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: have some Candida there, but it's kept in check by

402
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: all these other good microbes that are balancing it out.

403
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: So what happens is, over time, either in our own

404
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: bodies or inherited, we're taking more and more antibiotics. We're

405
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: eating more food that has pesticides on it, which is

406
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: intended to kill small micro organisms, which is basically what

407
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: our entire microbiome is. And so we're slowly having a

408
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: more and more depleted and out of balance ecosystem and

409
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: the gut, which then you bring in things like sugar

410
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: and really like refined grain products that feed those opportunistic

411
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,840
Speaker 1: yeats like candida, and you end up with this imbalance.

412
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: And when you have this imbalance, So Candida is one

413
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 1: yeast that is well known in research and we can

414
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,680
Speaker 1: test for, and so that's why I focus on her,

415
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: But it could be other yeasts that are not Candida too.

416
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: Ye have a mind of their own and they have

417
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: their own priorities, and so they will literally take over

418
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,000
Speaker 1: our system and make you crave sugar, make you crave

419
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 1: things that make you have brain fog or fatigue so

420
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 1: that you want more sugar, crave the things that are

421
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: going to feed them. So candida is not a fun

422
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 1: thing to have an overgrowth, But it's all about how

423
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: do we find the balance? Right. It's not bad in

424
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: and of itself, it's how it relates to everything else

425
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: in the body.

426
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: Okay, and before because you did talk about.

427
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 2: The womb, and I want to get into the mother conversation.

428
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: But I'm thinking of all of these things that you

429
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 2: can potentially have, right, and I'm sure you s helt

430
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 2: it when you were studying this, You're like, this is overwhelming.

431
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: There's so many things. Do I have all of it?

432
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 3: What's going on with my body?

433
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: When somebody comes into you, what are some things they

434
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 2: should be evaluating about themselves and their lifestyle to even

435
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 2: head down one of these paths, to be like this

436
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 2: is a possibility. Like what is happening when somebody new

437
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: comes to you and they're getting diagnosed for lack of

438
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 2: a better.

439
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: Term, or they're understanding their root causes? Is it an onion?

440
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 3: Your peeling back? What does the process look like?

441
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, to answer the first part of the question before

442
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: I answer the second part, the only requirement is to

443
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 1: have an open mindset and to want to play the

444
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,960
Speaker 1: game of show me how good this can get. If

445
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: you were going to play the game of show me

446
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: how good I can feel in my body, show me

447
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: how good I could feel in my life, and how

448
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: that's going to transform my relationships, my work, my partnership,

449
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's the only thing, because the rest

450
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: we can always figure out. I think can feel overwhelming

451
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: when you're hearing it in some of these capacities, but

452
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's all one thing.

453
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Whether it's a gut imbalance, whether it's a mineral imbalance.

454
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: We've been taught to think about the body as completely

455
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 1: separate symptoms. If you go to your general practitioner and say, hey,

456
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: I have brain fog and my period it really hurts

457
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: and I feel loaded all the time after meals, they're

458
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: going to send you to a neurologist and to a

459
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: gastro entrologist and to and what was the other thing

460
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: I said, undercrinologist, and they're going to all try and

461
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,200
Speaker 1: fix you separately by giving you a band aid solution.

462
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Everything in the body is connected, so the mineral imbalances

463
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,240
Speaker 1: are related to the gut imbalances, and so we're really

464
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,879
Speaker 1: healing them with one way. And so what I'm doing

465
00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: is actually I don't diagnose anything, and what I do

466
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 1: is actually radically different than a doctor in the sense

467
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: that while I'm uncovering root causes, we're not actually treating

468
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: any one thing. We're giving your body the proper tools,

469
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: environment and ingredients that it needs to heal itself to

470
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: come back to balance itself, so that you can become

471
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: your own self healer. And that is I think what

472
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: is the most empowering thing in today's day and age,

473
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: where we like so often look to authority for everything else.

474
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 1: It's like, no, you are the expert of your body,

475
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: and I'm just helping you uncover roadblocks that have gotten

476
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: in the way.

477
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 2: See, And I wanted you to describe it in your

478
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 2: way because it is it's hard sometimes for us to

479
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,919
Speaker 2: understand because we have been taught this very basic understanding

480
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: of you go to a doctor, you get a diagnosis,

481
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 2: you bandid it, or to your point, you go to

482
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: all these different varieties of doctors.

483
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 3: But there's so much.

484
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: More to our body and understanding our body of how

485
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 2: it all works together and That's why I wanted you

486
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 2: to share a little piece of that in case nobody's

487
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 2: heard about it. I want to get into the mom's

488
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: side of this, because you became a mom in twenty

489
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: twenty three, which had I imagine a big impact on

490
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: your life. But I want to know something you say

491
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 2: is that you have a positive postpartum experience, when very

492
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: often we hear about a lot of postpartum moms that don't.

493
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,639
Speaker 2: So what are you doing differently that maybe we could

494
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: give out to the moms out there to have them help.

495
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I could almost cry talking about this because

496
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: it's something I feel so deeply passionate about. I used

497
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: to go to these like new moms. I joined a

498
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: new mom's group in my community where for twelve weeks

499
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: we like sat together and shared things and whatever, and

500
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: we would go around the room and share how things

501
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: were going. And it was just like, it hurt so

502
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 1: much to hear these swomen talking about just how much

503
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: they were struggling. I almost felt like a little uncomfortable

504
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: being like I'm doing awesome, because it was like, okay,

505
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 1: was not what we had just been hearing. But it's

506
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: also important to point that as like a beacon of light,

507
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: a lighthouse that this is possible. And so what was

508
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 1: I doing. The first thing I was doing is I

509
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: was doing what was biologically appropriate and normal for me

510
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: and my baby. And I could teach you all the

511
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: right nutrition things. I could teach you all of the

512
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 1: things to do for mineral balancing and for postpartum like

513
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: healing of the teachers and all that stuff, and I will.

514
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing that I was doing is going

515
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: back again to what my great great grandparents were doing

516
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: of what is normal for me and my baby and

517
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: my midwife. So I actually gave birth to my son

518
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: at home. That was something I knew that I wanted

519
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: to do since I was like a kid like. I

520
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: went to visit a woman who had a baby in

521
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 1: our community with my mom, and when we left, I said,

522
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna have my babies at home, and

523
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 1: she laughed at me and I was like, yeah, right,

524
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna want the epidrol and I was like, I

525
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,200
Speaker 1: don't know, I just think I want my babies at home.

526
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: So my midwife was telling me this story about how

527
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: she went over to one of her client's houses once

528
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: and they had the baby in one of those electric rockers.

529
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: This's new was what it's called the basinet, three thousand

530
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 1: dollars to rock your baby. And her client, who had

531
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 1: had a baby a few weeks prior, was like so sad,

532
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 1: so depressed, and she said, I don't know what's wrong.

533
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,159
Speaker 1: He sleeps all day in this thing. He's great, he's easy.

534
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: But I'm just like over here and I'm an absolute mess.

535
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 1: And my midwife went and she picked the baby up

536
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 1: out of this new and she put the baby in

537
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: her client's arms, and she said, stop using this thing.

538
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: Hold your baby for the next two weeks and call

539
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 1: me and let me know how you're doing. Gone. Postpart

540
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 1: and depression gone. We're supposed to be close to our

541
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 1: babies and holding them constantly, if you're breastfeeding as much

542
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: as possible, like sleeping with them, being with them. And

543
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: when we are apart from our babies, even for short

544
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:26,640
Speaker 1: periods of time, our body gets anxious and our body

545
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 1: gets suppressed, because that's not what's supposed to be normal

546
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: for us. And so that was like one of the

547
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: things that I really prioritized was we kept the first

548
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: forty days, I stayed like in my little cocoon with

549
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: my baby. My husband was super supportive and I was

550
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 1: touching him constantly, and I think that makes a really

551
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: big difference. So that's the first thing, and then the

552
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: other one is minerals. I know we talked about that already,

553
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: but to paint the picture for moms even more, there

554
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 1: is a massive mineral transfer that happens during pregnancy. So

555
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: you have spent, if this is your first baby, your

556
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: entire life storing like a little squirrel, storing acorns away,

557
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: storing away these minerals for the big event of getting

558
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: pregnant and passing those minerals onto your baby. And if

559
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 1: we are not deeply replenishing when that mineral transfer happens

560
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 1: at birth or before birth. During pregnancy and then at birth,

561
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 1: we put out so many resources, right, there's so much

562
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: adrenaline and so much adrenal output that happens. And then

563
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: postpartum you're not sleeping as much. If you're breastfeeding, your

564
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: body is creating more nutrition for the baby. You will

565
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: end up so depleted. And that depletion can translate into

566
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: anything from anxiety, brain fog, insecurities around me, am I

567
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. It can translate to not feeling

568
00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: like your body comes back to the way it should,

569
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: whether that's with weight or like actual healing of tissue,

570
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 1: all of which impacts our mental and physical and emotional health.

571
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: So really focusing on nutrient dense foods, and a lot

572
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: of people nowadays they just order takeout and it's like

573
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: the absolute worst thing that they could be doing, and

574
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 1: I get why they do it. It's hard. But if

575
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,479
Speaker 1: you really intentionally plan for how to have really nourishing meals,

576
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: really mineral rich drinks, and how to really support your body,

577
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: it will totally change your postpartum experience.

578
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 3: Wow.

579
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,199
Speaker 2: Those are really important things to have and things that

580
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 2: I don't think we ever think about because we're so

581
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 2: focused on just you get pregnant and you're so excited,

582
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 2: and then you're not really focused on what's to come after.

583
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: We are never focused as human beings, Like we get

584
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: to the really exciting moment and then after we're like, Okay,

585
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: whatever happens happens. So these are huge tools to have

586
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: that I'm so glad you mentioned, So thank you for those.

587
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: Now it's never last thing, Like, it's never too late.

588
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: If you didn't prioritize that during pregnancy, you're an early postpartum.

589
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 1: You're a year and a half, two years postpartum, and

590
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 1: you feel like you're tanked. It's never too late to

591
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: get started on these things.

592
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: Oh I'm glad you said that, because there will be

593
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 2: I'm sure moms out there who are feeling similar to

594
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, and to know that they can

595
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: start doing this even.

596
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: A little bit, will be a big change.

597
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: Also, on this other side, I know we talk postpartum,

598
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 2: but on the flip side of having a baby in

599
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: the postpartum is the biological clock that we hear about

600
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 2: and fertility declining as.

601
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: You get older.

602
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 2: What's your experience with those two things, because it's such

603
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 2: a big topic, especially for someone like me who's entered

604
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 2: her thirties and gosh, if I have to hear somebody

605
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 2: tell me one more time, when are you gonna have

606
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 2: kids like you're getting older, I'm probably gonna punch somebody

607
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: in the face.

608
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 1: Yes, I have a lot of thoughts on this. I'll

609
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: narrow them down into two really important ones that I

610
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: think will also really hopefully reassure you as well on

611
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: a personal level. The first one is, so, yes, people

612
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: are waiting longer to have kids, like the average age

613
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: of a woman having babies in the Western world is

614
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: going up significantly. However, is that a reason for the

615
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: declining fertility rate and for people struggling to get pregnant.

616
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: I don't think it's actually as big of a reason

617
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 1: as most doctors and modern even media just makes it

618
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 1: out to be. And this is why because historically, even

619
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,160
Speaker 1: going back thirty years, like not that long, women were

620
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: starting to have babies earlier, but they also had a

621
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: lot more kids, including into their late thirties and early forties. Yes,

622
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: like to some extent, we do see fertility change as

623
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: we get older, but it shouldn't. It doesn't explain the

624
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: declining fertility rates in the way that we are seeing

625
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: them manifest. So it's actually something else happening. And here's

626
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 1: my hypothesis that is rooted in some research, but it's

627
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: hopefully something that we're going to be doing a lot

628
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 1: more research in the coming years because I think it's

629
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 1: such a big reason. So again, we talked about our

630
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: modern world being a pretty toxic relatively placed to how

631
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: it's been in years past. Now the body does another

632
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: weird thing. When it's we talked about that mineral transfer,

633
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 1: the body also uses pregnancy as an opportunity to detox

634
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,719
Speaker 1: things that it can't typically detox very well. So what

635
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 1: we'll see if a twenty one year old, for example,

636
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: gets pregnant, she's had approximately twenty one years of accumulating

637
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: toxins in her body, so she can go on get

638
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: pregnant easier because she doesn't have all these toxins interfering

639
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: with her reproductive system, and she's less likely to have

640
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 1: a miscarriage because again, one of the things the body

641
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: will do is it will pass those toxins onto the baby,

642
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: and if those toxins are enough to kill the fetus,

643
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: it will, and if it's not, then it's probably just

644
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: going to churn into things like allergies, ezema, asthma, etc.

645
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 1: When her baby's born. But if we have a thirty

646
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 1: five year old who's getting pregnant for the first time,

647
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: that's an additional fourteen years. That's more than fifty percent

648
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: more time of accumulating toxins, and so what we're actually

649
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: seeing is not necessarily a crisis of age, but more

650
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 1: crisis of environment and the way that's influencing fertility. So

651
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,120
Speaker 1: on the positive side of that is likeers so much

652
00:30:56,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: we can do to reduce our toxic exposure and also

653
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: detox our bodies. I love nothing more than when women

654
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: come to me and they're like, I want to get

655
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: pregnant in a year, let's prep for it now. That

656
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: is like the move because you are able to not

657
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: only set yourself up for an easier time conceiving when

658
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: you are ready, but also a healthier pregnancy, a healthier baby,

659
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: et cetera. So if you're listening to this and you're

660
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 1: on the preconception side, or if you've been struggling with fertility,

661
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 1: my questions to you are really to get curious about

662
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: what you're not seeing, because really, no fertility is actually unexplained.

663
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: It's just do the people who are helping you have

664
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: the right tools and tests to help you figure out

665
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: what is causing it.

666
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,160
Speaker 2: Oh, I really hope this can help some people out

667
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: there who have been struggling with that, because that is

668
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 2: such a common thing, especially these days where you just

669
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 2: hear people that it's taking people longer and longer to

670
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 2: have children, And I totally see it, even someone who

671
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 2: isn't even in the realm of having kids yet. But

672
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 2: I've started change, you know, over my household to healthier

673
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 2: things and utilizing glassware and stainless steel, and just because

674
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: it was for me right, this was like I transition

675
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 2: now and then it means things happening later to hopefully

676
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: be easier.

677
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: And I know.

678
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: That's difficult to do though, because we've been so accustomed

679
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: to this world of cheap things and plastics, the overarching

680
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 2: everything that's so environmentally difficult for us. But I do

681
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: hope some people hear that and have some hope that

682
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: there's still a possibility if they can make some necessary changes.

683
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 1: Totally, if you're listening to this and you have been

684
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: feeling frustrated or even hopeless, my statistics are better than

685
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: the fertility clinics for helping my clients get pregnant. And

686
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,280
Speaker 1: so many clients have come and been like my doctor said,

687
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: I'll never get pregnant without IBF, or they've gone and

688
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: done four or five rounds of IBF with no success,

689
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: and then they get pregnant naturally three months later, beautiful,

690
00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: healthy baby pregnancy Like it is one hundred percent. If

691
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: only doing the conventional things is what you've been doing,

692
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: there's always something else to explore. And the other thing, too,

693
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: is a lot like this is somewhat related, but is

694
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: the eg quality conversation is as we get older, like

695
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: people talk about equality quite a bit, but just in

696
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: the same way that like you could be seventy and

697
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 1: have two you could have two seventy year olds sitting

698
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 1: next to each other, one who didn't smoke cigarettes and

699
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,959
Speaker 1: two took care of her skin was like treating her

700
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 1: body well, and then one who wasn't. And one woman

701
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: looks eighty and one woman looks fifty, right like ours,

702
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:35,400
Speaker 1: we can have a different way of aging, and so

703
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: your fertility can have an age that's different than you.

704
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: So there are so many things you can do with

705
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: antioxidants and like putting taking away oxidative stress in the

706
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 1: body and adding in more pro like res vitrol, for example,

707
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 1: is an amazing antioxidant that we see improve equality directly

708
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: because of the way that it reverses aging. So there's

709
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: so much that you can do and just like really

710
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: encouraging people to dive a little.

711
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 2: Deeper, yes, which is so much of what I feel

712
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 2: functional health is. And when you talk root causes, it's

713
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 2: to your point genuinely being open minded and willing to

714
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: try a new path that is probably not one that

715
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: you've heard a lot about, or one that you've been

716
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,560
Speaker 2: deterred from taking, And so I really do appreciate that

717
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 2: side of things. I hope it give some hope out

718
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: there just to try something new. I know trying new

719
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 2: things is hard, and doing things that are so vastly

720
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: different is also hard, but it's helpful and you're a

721
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 2: testament to that in so many ways, not just for you,

722
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 2: but also with clients you've worked with. I also want

723
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 2: to know, speaking of this realm of things, because hormones

724
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: also often get looped into this page, are there any

725
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 2: habits that we're doing that are often influencing our hormones

726
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: or like our hormone behavior or the balance and what's

727
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 2: happening in there that we don't realize are impacting that.

728
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 2: Because I have a feeling based on a lot of

729
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 2: things you've told me, there are.

730
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: Definitely Some people probably have heard a lot about the

731
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: circadian rhythm, So this is one that I think is

732
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 1: so understated, Like people just don't realize how much it

733
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: impacts our hormones. When I started talking about big hormonal

734
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: impacts in the twentieth century that came on it was

735
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: birth control and modern lights like seriously like light bult

736
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: or like the biggest thing.

737
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:27,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, as I'm sitting here in front of very bright lights, like.

738
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 1: We're all doing it. And it's one of those things

739
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 1: where there's like a couple little easy things that you

740
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: can do that really go a long way. The first

741
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 1: one is getting light early in the morning, like real

742
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: natural sunlight, going and opening your window and stating your

743
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: head out the window for two or three minutes, or

744
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: going and sitting and having your cup of tea or

745
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: cup of coffee on your front porch, or like prioritizing

746
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: getting the dog out earlier. Getting sunshine, which is that

747
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: blue light but specifically from the sun on our eyeballs,

748
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: starts to set up our circadian rhythm for the day,

749
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: which is so connected to our hormone system. So really

750
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 1: easy thing that you can do. So if you're someone

751
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: who just like stays inside for the first couple hours

752
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 1: of the day, no one's thinking about that, but that

753
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 1: is really potentially impacting your hormones. This is another actual,

754
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: just like little thing that I learned recently at a conference.

755
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: This woman was describing it in such a beautiful way,

756
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: thinking again back to like ancestral times. If we were inside,

757
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 1: we were hiding. So even though you think that it's

758
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:25,560
Speaker 1: like cozy and nice and whatever in your house, like

759
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 1: our bodies thrive on being outside. And so just like

760
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: the cord is all the stress hormone impacts all of

761
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 1: our other hormones. So spending more time outside in general

762
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,160
Speaker 1: throughout the day as much as you can is awesome.

763
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,080
Speaker 1: So if it's easy enough to like take your tea

764
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 1: and drink it outside instead of inside, do it.

765
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,279
Speaker 2: And that's also why I feel like we when I

766
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 2: go and spend out time outside in the sunshine, I

767
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 2: come back and I'm.

768
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 3: Just a happy person.

769
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: Like your body feels that way when you're outside and

770
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: connected with nature.

771
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 1: It is so important. And yeah, and we're getting like

772
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: you're breathing, like your outdoor era is much cleaner than

773
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: you're in, and there's just so much. And then on

774
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: the circadian rhythm side, in the evenings, blue light in

775
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:07,919
Speaker 1: the evening, and like we all think of like blue

776
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: light from our computers, Like I feel like that's not

777
00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:11,239
Speaker 1: like a new thing. People are like, oh, yeah, I

778
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 1: know I shouldn't be like all my device at night,

779
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 1: But it's more than that. It's like your light bulbs,

780
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: and so switching your light bulbs out to the Edison

781
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: style bulbs, which was like the original light bulb where

782
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: it's more yellow and light and less of the led

783
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:28,040
Speaker 1: and white makes a huge difference. They also have all

784
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: these like smart light bulbs now that you can switch

785
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: them to be red in the evening, like just on

786
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: your phone, which is cool because the red light is amazing.

787
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: Or you can just be super dorky like me and

788
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,600
Speaker 1: I have these like actual blue light blocking glasses, but

789
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: they're not the clear ones that are cool. Mine are

790
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: like orange. They look like I look like I'm just

791
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 1: like parting these like dorky orange glasses. My husband makes

792
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: so much fun of me, and I'm like, I don't care.

793
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 1: My norm worlds are better for it, and I sleep

794
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,319
Speaker 1: so much better. I noticed that there was a couple

795
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,360
Speaker 1: days last week where my son had misplaced them and

796
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: I couldn't find them, and I did not sleep nearly

797
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,840
Speaker 1: as well. So the biggest habit, I would say, is

798
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: like your lighting, and there's a couple really easy fixes,

799
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,000
Speaker 1: and then you don't worry about it if you're at

800
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 1: someone else's house having a good time at night, Like

801
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: who cares You're enjoying your life. But if eighty percent

802
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: of the time just normal days in and days out,

803
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 1: you're getting sunshine in the morning and red light at night,

804
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 1: it'll be really helpful.

805
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 2: And you can also be like me because she did say,

806
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,359
Speaker 2: make the lights not be led, And I put little

807
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 2: Christmas lights on one of my trees, and it's the

808
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 2: warm lighting and that's all I ever have on at

809
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 2: night and makes it cozy. That's all I leave on

810
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: and it's always like perfect, And I do feel like

811
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 2: I sleep better when I utilize that.

812
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 1: That's amazing. I'm so happy to do that. And also

813
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: like candle lighting. I actually have a friend who has

814
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 1: three kids, and she did this experiment where once it

815
00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: became dark outside, especially in the winter when it was earlier,

816
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: they only used candles at night, which is like a

817
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: commitment to just set that up. She said they noticed

818
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 1: that their kids weren't hyper at night anymore. That like

819
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: they enjoyed dinner so much more. Everything was so much calmer.

820
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: And it's that same idea. So get your vibes on

821
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: and be cozy with it. For sure. This is perfect.

822
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 3: You can go red light, you can go glasses, you

823
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 3: can go Christmas lights.

824
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: Candles.

825
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 3: It can still be fun even though you're helping and

826
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: changing your body.

827
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: Okay, Stephanie, I feel like I could talk to you

828
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 2: all day about all of these things in your knowledge.

829
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: I love to end on whether it be just a

830
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 2: very big piece of advice, maybe something we didn't touch on,

831
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,640
Speaker 2: or something motivational you want to leave us on.

832
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,959
Speaker 3: I like to end our episodes on something fun.

833
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 2: And informational, motivational, inspirational, whatever you want.

834
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is so fun and it's so

835
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 1: open ended that I'm like, where could I go? Let's see.

836
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: I think what I want to share is that you,

837
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: like every person listening to this, Yes, your body is

838
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: super unique, but it is not rocket science to get

839
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 1: it to function optimally. And so often I think that

840
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: we've been just like fed this story that things are normal,

841
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,200
Speaker 1: painful periods, not having energy, acting whatever, the things are right,

842
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: the things that make us not feel perfect in our bodies,

843
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,360
Speaker 1: when we need to recognize that common is not normal

844
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: just because it's common. It's not normal, and you don't

845
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: have to settle for common, like you don't have to

846
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 1: be common, you get to be special, and so like, really,

847
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 1: if you are stuck and feeling like, Oh, I have

848
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: all of these common things and I know they're not normal.

849
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,360
Speaker 1: Follow that calling, because so much waits for you on

850
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: the other side.

851
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,759
Speaker 3: Oh see, this is a perfect thing to end on.

852
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: This is an inspirational, motivational, and informative.
