WEBVTT - The Truth About ‘Healthy’ — Why Everything You’ve Been Told Might Be Wrong

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Personally the old Man.

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:21.920
<v Speaker 2>We are officially in season three. How I have done

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:24.640
<v Speaker 2>already fifty one episodes.

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:25.840
<v Speaker 3>Is wild and amazing.

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm just really happy that this podcast exists. It's been

0:00:29.240 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 2>a fun last few weeks with the employees and residents

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:35.479
<v Speaker 2>of Apes Garden talking all about their life story and advice.

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.599
<v Speaker 2>If you love that episode or any other episode in particular,

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.000
<v Speaker 2>let me know as I start planning this new season

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 2>this weekend. Next we're getting into some health and wellness

0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.920
<v Speaker 2>but root cause style. Stephanie Adler joins me this week.

0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 2>She is a hormone, gut health and fertility practitioner. She

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.319
<v Speaker 2>helps people get to the root cause of issues, and

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what we're all looking for these days.

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>So let's go.

0:01:00.880 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm here right now with Stephanie Adler. She's a functional

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>health practitioner and really focus on helping people find the

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:10.480
<v Speaker 2>root cause of so many things. And we're going to

0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 2>get into a lot of topics. But Stephanie, I'm really

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:13.640
<v Speaker 2>happy to have you here.

0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much. Morgan, I'm so excited to be

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:16.560
<v Speaker 1>here with you.

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, this is going to be fun.

0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, We're going to start like bottom kind of out

0:01:20.920 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 2>of the barrel, because gosh, with so.

0:01:23.720 --> 0:01:26.839
<v Speaker 3>Much content and things to consume, we.

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 2>Are getting constantly so many different understandings of what it

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 2>means to be healthy and to eat healthy. But in

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>your expertise, what does that actually mean and what does

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 2>it look like?

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.039
<v Speaker 1>Totally? And I just want to have a lot of

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>sympathy and compassion for anyone who's about to hear what

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm about to say and be like, so everything I've

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>been doing my whole life has been wrong, because that's

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>definitely how I felt. And so a little bit of background.

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like so into health and wellness and like

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>thought that I was doing all the things and reading

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>all the BuzzFeed lists and all this and all the

0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Instagram posts. And then I went to school nutrition, but

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>holistic nutrition. I chose not to go the way of

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:08.360
<v Speaker 1>the registered dietitian. Here's the FDA's food pyramid recommendations, and

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>it blew my mind because it was so different from

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.799
<v Speaker 1>what I thought was healthy. I had been like a

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.640
<v Speaker 1>pseudo vegetarian who was a pescatarian, and I was like,

0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:18.360
<v Speaker 1>up on my high core, some of this is the

0:02:18.400 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>healthiest thing, like Butter's the devil, And now I recommend

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.680
<v Speaker 1>to my clients animal fats and more animal fats. It

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.079
<v Speaker 1>is so important for every single cell in our body

0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>that we have a really healthy cell membrane which is

0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>made up of fats, and these animal fats are the

0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>best possible kinds. So when we're thinking about what is

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>really healthy, the thing that I actually ask people to

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.919
<v Speaker 1>do is think back to what your great grandparents were eating.

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Go back to a time before the industrialization of food.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>Go back to the time before the food lobbies and

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these interests that are driven by money had

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a say over what was healthy for us. And look

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>towards not even just our great grandparents, but indigenous cultures

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.800
<v Speaker 1>around the world who had so much much health and

0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 1>so much vitality before we brought in Western food and

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.000
<v Speaker 1>modern food. And when we look to that, we really

0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>see what is so deeply nourishing, What it makes us

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>most fertile, what helps us have the most energy, and

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>what is overall just like for better vitality.

0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.839
<v Speaker 2>Oh wow, And it's funny you say that, because I'm

0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 2>not gonna lie I am vegetarian.

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm not vegan. I do eat eggs, and I like cheese,

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:24.920
<v Speaker 3>and I like Greek yogurt.

0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.200
<v Speaker 2>And all of that stuff, But mine's an ethical thing.

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 2>I was eight years old when I decided this. I

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 2>was never like I'm going vegetarian to be healthy. It

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 2>was I love the animals, and then it just stuck.

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 2>But I'm a very unusual case because I've been doing

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.520
<v Speaker 2>that since I was eight years old. My body's so

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 2>accustomed to that lifestyle now. But I could never do

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.560
<v Speaker 2>the full vegan. I can never go in that route.

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>So I am probably on your other spectrum of people

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 2>who are like, wait, what what did you just say?

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think that it's an important distinction there. Like again,

0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 1>when we look at these different intigenerous cultures around the world,

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>none of them were fully plant based, but a lot

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 1>of them weren't eating very much meat or hardly any

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>meat at all, And so we can as long as

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.720
<v Speaker 1>you're eating dairy and eggs and like getting those again,

0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:12.720
<v Speaker 1>those are really important animal fats, which is what exactly

0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I was talking about that could totally work for your

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>body and really thrive. I have a group program that

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I run, and it was super funny because for a

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 1>long time I was attracting all these vegetarians who were

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>having a lot of health problems, and it became like

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.159
<v Speaker 1>an inside joke inside the program. It was like where

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>vegetarians come to get happy because they would start eating

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>more animal foods. So I get where you're coming from.

0:04:33.360 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>I used to be there, and I think that can

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>still work for people as long as they're doing it

0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 1>super intentionally and eating some animal products.

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, for sure, I never thought going to begin was

0:04:42.880 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>ever going to be my options And I was like, Okay,

0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:46.560
<v Speaker 2>I just got to find the right way to do this,

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 2>and it's transitioning and it's understanding because it's also just

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.599
<v Speaker 2>such a heavy battle to fight because to your point,

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 2>what we're thinking of with our grandparents and back in

0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.840
<v Speaker 2>the day and indigenous cultures eating meat then wasn't this

0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:05.680
<v Speaker 2>entire experience of what it is now, and so they

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 2>don't have this like ethical battle. There was truly, like

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 2>I don't know the best way to describe it, but

0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 2>there wasn't what there is now with industrialized meat, which

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 2>is why so many people have an ethical problem with it.

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>For sure, And I came to it a lot from

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that perspective as well. I won't say like when I

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>was initially aveditarian that it was holy that, but for

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of my clients, like I do think I

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.720
<v Speaker 1>will say to them that, like, if your option is

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Tyson chicken or no chicken, we maybe should choose no chicken.

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.760
<v Speaker 1>The beautiful thing is there are so many amazing options.

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Like where we get all of our meat is a

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>farm fifteen minutes from our house, and we go, we

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>see the animals. My son pets them, he chases the

0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.599
<v Speaker 1>little ducks around, Like it's very much the environment that

0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 1>they were supposed to be living in and the best

0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 1>life that they had until the day their life is over.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 1>And like we witness that transition of life, were able

0:06:00.400 --> 0:06:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to see and be part of that. And for some

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>people that's a lot. But I really think that if

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be eating meat, it should we should

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>be able to have that relationship with our food and

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>like really understand where it comes from and have a

0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:12.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of respect for that animal.

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.040
<v Speaker 2>Yes, which is also why so many people love farmers'

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 2>markets and have those I am a huge activist for

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 2>farmers market. I go and I spend my Saturday mornings

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 2>there and I even not eating meat, I'm like, this

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:23.920
<v Speaker 2>is awesome.

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 3>This is good food. I know where it's coming from,

0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:29.160
<v Speaker 3>and it just makes me feel really good. So all

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>that to say, I totally understand that experience.

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 2>I couldn't do it because I in my brain of

0:06:35.080 --> 0:06:37.040
<v Speaker 2>the animal lover would be like no chance.

0:06:37.480 --> 0:06:39.679
<v Speaker 3>But on the way with other things, So I totally

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 3>see where you're coming from.

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Now.

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 2>There are a lot of people too who feel like

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.880
<v Speaker 2>they're doing all the right things right. They feel like

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:49.679
<v Speaker 2>they're eating healthy, they're working out, they're moving their body,

0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 2>they're doing the things that they have been told they

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.800
<v Speaker 2>have to do, but they can't lose weight. Like what

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 2>is happening with your body when you feel like you're

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:00.520
<v Speaker 2>making the right steps? But maybe there's some things that

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 2>we're missing totally.

0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>And this is a really common thing that I see

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>in my practice, and it's like the most frustrating thing

0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>in the world, right, I Oh, And usually there's a

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.760
<v Speaker 1>couple of different factors. So the first one is stress.

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>And when I say stress, it doesn't just mean oh,

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm stressed out about my job or my boyfriend or

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.720
<v Speaker 1>my finances or whatever. It is. The body has sources

0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>of internal stress, and then we also have external stress. Right,

0:07:27.720 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>So at the core of all of these different things

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.760
<v Speaker 1>that I'm going to say, it could be We really

0:07:31.800 --> 0:07:33.360
<v Speaker 1>just need to think about the fact that if the

0:07:33.400 --> 0:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>body is in a state of stress, it does not

0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>think that losing weight is safe. Is it famine? Is

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:44.520
<v Speaker 1>there a reason why you are so stressed out that

0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the body is all I must preserve all resources by

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>any means possible, And a lot of times with exercise,

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>this is something I see all the time. I tell

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 1>my clients, I want you to stop exercising, go for walks,

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>go for a nice bike ride with a friend, but

0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the beach, whatever, like, don't be bedridden, but stop doing

0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>especially intense workouts. But typically any sort of like real exercise,

0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and that plus some of these nutrition changes, is when

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.000
<v Speaker 1>we start to see the weight fly off. And it

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.160
<v Speaker 1>is so counterintuitive to what everyone has always been taught.

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>But when we're thinking about specifically female bodies, we need

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:22.240
<v Speaker 1>to understand that they're super primal and everything we do

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>is based around reproduction, and the body, when it feels stressed,

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>will see exercise as additional stress and thinks that it

0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 1>has to hold on to protect us for any means possible,

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:36.600
<v Speaker 1>especially if we were to get pregnant, which is probably

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.000
<v Speaker 1>also not prioritizing hormones or reproduction. If you're that stressed out.

0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>But a lot of times it's that extra exercise that

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:47.400
<v Speaker 1>tips the scale into too stress to lose weight. Historically,

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:49.800
<v Speaker 1>if we think back again to like our ancestors, this

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:52.240
<v Speaker 1>is probably more than our great grandparents go a few

0:08:52.280 --> 0:08:56.040
<v Speaker 1>more generations back. If you are running, what did that mean?

0:08:57.800 --> 0:08:59.439
<v Speaker 3>You were like in survival mode?

0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you were in danger. So like maybe you feel

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:04.480
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of an adrenaline high after going for

0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a run, but your body is in a state of

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of active stress while you're doing that. It

0:09:08.760 --> 0:09:10.839
<v Speaker 1>thinks you are running from a tiger and things, you're

0:09:11.000 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 1>running for your life. Similarly, like those experiences of like

0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>heavy intensity, our body views it as stress. And so

0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that's the first thing, is like a lot of times

0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:22.559
<v Speaker 1>people are just putting too much stress on an already

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:24.800
<v Speaker 1>stressed out body in a stressed out world.

0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and before I want you to go on to

0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:28.679
<v Speaker 2>these other parts, but I would love to know because

0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 2>nobody's ever everybody always says, are you stressed, and nobody's

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.000
<v Speaker 2>ever detailed it in that way to be like, no,

0:09:35.120 --> 0:09:36.319
<v Speaker 2>this is actionly what that means.

0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 3>Like how if you're obviously you.

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Have external factors and you know how to handle that

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.840
<v Speaker 2>stress and try and maneuver it. But when your body

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>is stressed, how do you get your body out of

0:09:47.040 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 2>stressed state?

0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so it's a great question. It's really the million

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:55.280
<v Speaker 1>dollar question. And there's a few different things that I'll

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.440
<v Speaker 1>typically recommend for people. A first one, it sounds wu

0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:01.000
<v Speaker 1>but talking to your body and telling your body that

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you're safe is important. And a big one like truly

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>just taking three deep breaths, which can shift you from

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a sympathetic active stress state to a parasympathetic, relaxed state,

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>free deep breaths and saying to your body, you are safe,

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.320
<v Speaker 1>you are loved, bring it down and doing that a

0:10:19.320 --> 0:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>few times a day is like one way to really

0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>just on a cellular level, tell your body, okay, it's okay,

0:10:24.000 --> 0:10:25.680
<v Speaker 1>to calm down, and like we don't have to be

0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>hyper alert and just slowing down. The second one is

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 1>figuring out hidden blocks to wellness, and so some of

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.080
<v Speaker 1>these things might be toxins that we've come into contact with,

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.400
<v Speaker 1>either in our homes or on our bodies or in

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 1>the greater world. And doing practices that help us detalks

0:10:41.559 --> 0:10:45.199
<v Speaker 1>regularly and support our drainage pathways, so our body isn't

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>fighting that intense toxic load all the time, which puts

0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:49.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stress on our bodies. So that's like

0:10:49.520 --> 0:10:51.400
<v Speaker 1>an easy thing that people can start doing at home

0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and paying more attention to. And then another one is

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:58.000
<v Speaker 1>figuring out other potential stressors in the body. And this

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>one is a little bit less DIY and would be

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:04.320
<v Speaker 1>like engaging the help of a practitioner where we're looking

0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>for things like potentially gut infections or an imbalance of

0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 1>good and bad bacteria in the gut, which you're influencing

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 1>everything from our brains to our metabolism to our immune system.

0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>We're potentially looking for things like heavy metals, et cetera.

0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:21.600
<v Speaker 1>So at minimum, some deep breast telling yourself that you're safe,

0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>and then at maximum, maybe diving a little bit deeper

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and seeing, okay, like why is my individual body so

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>stress if the rest of my life is cool.

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Okay, I'm glad you detailed that some more, because

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.120
<v Speaker 2>I do feel like there's a lot of people out there,

0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:37.040
<v Speaker 2>especially I'm also someone who does hit workouts, and I

0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:40.359
<v Speaker 2>do feel stressed from that, and I've had my fluctuations

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:40.880
<v Speaker 2>where I'm.

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 3>Like, okay, I'm only going to do yoga for a while.

0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Let's just calm a body doubt and it's moments you

0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:46.840
<v Speaker 2>go through the rollercoaster of life.

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:50.000
<v Speaker 3>But I'm so glad you detailed that, because I do think.

0:11:49.880 --> 0:11:53.080
<v Speaker 2>A lot of people probably have internal stress happening and

0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>they just have no idea what's happening and why.

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, I made us go on a detour.

0:11:57.640 --> 0:11:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Oh and there's just one actually one other thing I

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.040
<v Speaker 1>want to add to that, because look, we could also

0:12:01.080 --> 0:12:03.199
<v Speaker 1>go this could be an entire podcast episode of all

0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the stressors. But sometimes also I find like I'll have

0:12:07.080 --> 0:12:09.400
<v Speaker 1>there's like different archetypes of people that I see, and

0:12:09.480 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 1>so there's also oftentimes and so if someone's listening to

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>this who feels like they're stressed out by like everyday

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>things that really shouldn't be that stressful, just like the

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>person who's like, like, if I have one more thing,

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it's just like at a lot of times that will

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>also be mineral imbalances. And sometimes people who are taking

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>like pre needles or multivitamins are those like generic let's

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.720
<v Speaker 1>throw a lot of things in here at once. I

0:12:31.800 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>find are some of the worst with that because it's

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 1>causing what we call either calcium or copper toxicity or

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.320
<v Speaker 1>some of these mineral profiles. So if you're someone who

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.439
<v Speaker 1>you're just like, I really feel like I shouldn't be

0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>as stressed as I am, like when I really look

0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>at my life, that's actually something to really start to

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:47.520
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to.

0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, and what exactly is mineral amounts because I did

0:12:53.440 --> 0:12:55.520
<v Speaker 2>have this to talk about. Anyway, we're just going into

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 2>a different way, which is perfect, But what is that

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.240
<v Speaker 2>because I've never heard of that, but for.

0:13:01.120 --> 0:13:03.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and a lot of women have it, and it's

0:13:03.160 --> 0:13:05.960
<v Speaker 1>such a shame to me because it is, in my opinion,

0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the number one hack to thriving in the modern world

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:14.200
<v Speaker 1>as a woman. Seriously. So, just like any nutrients, like

0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>we all have maybe a basic understanding of we need

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>our be vitamins so our hair grows long, and we

0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.920
<v Speaker 1>need to see so we don't get scurvy, like we

0:13:22.040 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>have their like essential nutrients that we should all be

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:28.439
<v Speaker 1>getting all the time, and unfortunately, our modern food system

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.440
<v Speaker 1>is very deficient in these nutrients. Hence why a lot

0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.240
<v Speaker 1>of people take a lot of supplements. But the problem

0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is when you start taking supplements blindly, right like, without

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.920
<v Speaker 1>really an understanding of what your baseline is we can

0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:44.319
<v Speaker 1>start to create imbalances in the body. Now every mineral,

0:13:44.360 --> 0:13:46.800
<v Speaker 1>really every vitamin but for the sake of this conversation too,

0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 1>but for the sake of this conversation, we're mostly going

0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>to be focused on minerals. Every minerals has a cofactor.

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.839
<v Speaker 1>They almost have a best friend that's another mineral, and

0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.160
<v Speaker 1>their ability to do what they're supposed to do in

0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the body is dependent on this other mineral ability to

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.200
<v Speaker 1>do what it's supposed to do in the body. So,

0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:06.080
<v Speaker 1>for example, if you have too much copper, you therefore

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>probably aren't going to have enough sinc. They balance each other.

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Same with vitamin A in calcium, or vitamin D and calcium.

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:14.560
<v Speaker 1>This is why I see a lot of times people

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>who are taking vitamin D supplements. It really messes up

0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>their mineral balance because they're not doing it with the

0:14:19.920 --> 0:14:22.480
<v Speaker 1>other cofactors. And so it's a little bit like a dance.

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And when these minerals are in balance and we have

0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:30.760
<v Speaker 1>them in the appropriate amounts, we feel calm Our metabolism

0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>works really well. Our adrenals, which are our stress system,

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:35.840
<v Speaker 1>is able to show up when we need it to

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>and calm down when we need it to, which is

0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:42.120
<v Speaker 1>super important. Our fertility is much more vital. Our ability

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>to come back to life postpartum and really feel like

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>we have capacity and patience and all of the qualities

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>we want to be in a mom. All of this

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 1>is really dependent in what we're seeing in the minerals,

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.960
<v Speaker 1>and most of the time people are just not eating

0:14:55.000 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>mineral rich foods and or are taking supplements that are

0:14:57.800 --> 0:14:58.640
<v Speaker 1>making them out of whack.

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Wow, I had no idea how do you find out

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.000
<v Speaker 2>that you do have a mineral imbalance, because if I

0:15:05.040 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 2>had to guess, the typical blood panel that you do

0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:08.960
<v Speaker 2>at a doctor's office is not going to tell you

0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:09.720
<v Speaker 2>those things.

0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:13.680
<v Speaker 1>No, and that unfortunately it's not, because it would be

0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:16.160
<v Speaker 1>great if it did. But what the blood is, it's

0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>the highway system. So if you go to the doctor

0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>and you say, hey, can you test my zinc and

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.840
<v Speaker 1>my magnesium? Sure, And now if you're like really deficient

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>or really high in something like a super super intense

0:15:26.520 --> 0:15:29.480
<v Speaker 1>end to the extremes, it might show up in the blood,

0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.000
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of times it'll be dependent on what

0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you ate for dinner last night and what like. It's

0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:37.200
<v Speaker 1>the highway system and how it's how it travels. So

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the testing that I do inside my practice is a

0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>hair mineral test. So what we do is we take

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 1>a sample of hair. You can do it at home

0:15:43.640 --> 0:15:45.480
<v Speaker 1>and you just take a little sample of hair from

0:15:45.520 --> 0:15:48.480
<v Speaker 1>the nape of your neck almost and you send it

0:15:48.520 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>into a lab and they analyze it. And what we're

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 1>able to see is by excretion, so how much your

0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.760
<v Speaker 1>body is letting out of tissue minerals as opposed to

0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>blood minerals. Now, I know that sounds a little I'm

0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>getting into the like scientific elements of it, but bear

0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:03.480
<v Speaker 1>with me for just a second. Why this is so

0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.000
<v Speaker 1>valuable is because not only are we able to see

0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:11.040
<v Speaker 1>approximately a three month snapshot compared to approximately a thirty

0:16:11.080 --> 0:16:13.960
<v Speaker 1>six hour snapshot. Right, So I'm able to see over

0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the course of the past three months what your nutrient

0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>status looks like. But I'm also able to see how

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>your body is dealing with stress because we're able to

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>see how much you're pushing out, how much you're utilizing

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.760
<v Speaker 1>so much. So like a lot of times I'll see

0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>people who come to me and they're like, yeah, my

0:16:28.920 --> 0:16:31.680
<v Speaker 1>doctor says I'm anemic because on their blood work they

0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:34.280
<v Speaker 1>don't have enough iron in their blood, but I'll look

0:16:34.320 --> 0:16:37.359
<v Speaker 1>and in their minerals they have so in their tissue.

0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 1>They have so much iron in the tissue, which then

0:16:41.920 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>is telling me it's actually not that you're low in iron,

0:16:44.080 --> 0:16:46.440
<v Speaker 1>you're just not able to move it and utilize it properly.

0:16:46.480 --> 0:16:49.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's so much more of an actionable data in

0:16:49.840 --> 0:16:52.240
<v Speaker 1>terms of what we're going Wow.

0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:53.080
<v Speaker 3>This is so interesting.

0:16:53.360 --> 0:16:56.920
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I feel like we could keep I know, I

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 2>feel like we could keep going down that path, but

0:16:58.680 --> 0:16:59.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, I have so many other things to talk

0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:02.160
<v Speaker 2>talk to you about too, So make sure you go

0:17:02.240 --> 0:17:04.400
<v Speaker 2>check out Stephanie's stuff if you're like really even more

0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 2>curious to.

0:17:04.920 --> 0:17:05.760
<v Speaker 3>Go down that path.

0:17:06.160 --> 0:17:09.440
<v Speaker 2>But I also wanted to talk about cause I saw

0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.760
<v Speaker 2>you do an episode of your podcast about this, the

0:17:12.960 --> 0:17:17.800
<v Speaker 2>Candida infection and how it could be the cause behind

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.480
<v Speaker 2>like brain fog and sugar crabans and yeast infections.

0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:23.439
<v Speaker 1>What is this like?

0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:25.280
<v Speaker 2>There's just so many things I've found. I'm like, I've

0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 2>never even heard of this before.

0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:27.080
<v Speaker 3>What's going on?

0:17:28.680 --> 0:17:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Totally? Candida. Oh gosh, I have a client she's

0:17:32.160 --> 0:17:34.480
<v Speaker 1>I just thought of her because she's been calling her

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Candida overgrowth. Candace and like she and her husband like

0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:40.960
<v Speaker 1>blame everything on Candace. They're like, oh Candace, Like why

0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.000
<v Speaker 1>are you doing this, sus So now I just want

0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to call it canvas.

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:46.000
<v Speaker 3>We can call her Candace.

0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I like it, So you have Candace come with it now.

0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>But basically, candida is a yeast and now Candida, like

0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>everyone has candida. It is abundant on our skin, like

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.920
<v Speaker 1>it is like it's normal to have some levels of candida.

0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:03.520
<v Speaker 1>But what happens in our modern world even more so

0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:05.880
<v Speaker 1>because and I'm not going to get into this so much,

0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.160
<v Speaker 1>but like we just a crazy thing to think about

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>is we are not only inheriting like genetics from our

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.640
<v Speaker 1>parents and from our grandparents, we're inheriting their microbiome. We

0:18:15.680 --> 0:18:20.080
<v Speaker 1>inherit the makeup of their gut. We start swallowing amniotic

0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>fluid when we're in the womb and absorbing our mom's microbiome.

0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>And then if we're birth vaginally, we get the exposure

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.480
<v Speaker 1>there of your birth vac section. You're getting whatever's on

0:18:27.520 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 1>those people's hands. So anyways, we're like seeing more and

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:34.240
<v Speaker 1>more over time, as people have had more and more antibiotics,

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.199
<v Speaker 1>it kills off a section of the gut and the

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:41.480
<v Speaker 1>gut works as a big ecosystem, okay, And when that

0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.960
<v Speaker 1>ecosystem is in balance, everything has its place. So you

0:18:44.040 --> 0:18:46.280
<v Speaker 1>have some Candida there, but it's kept in check by

0:18:46.320 --> 0:18:49.840
<v Speaker 1>all these other good microbes that are balancing it out.

0:18:50.080 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>So what happens is, over time, either in our own

0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>bodies or inherited, we're taking more and more antibiotics. We're

0:18:55.720 --> 0:18:58.520
<v Speaker 1>eating more food that has pesticides on it, which is

0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:02.600
<v Speaker 1>intended to kill small micro organisms, which is basically what

0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.159
<v Speaker 1>our entire microbiome is. And so we're slowly having a

0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>more and more depleted and out of balance ecosystem and

0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:14.240
<v Speaker 1>the gut, which then you bring in things like sugar

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and really like refined grain products that feed those opportunistic

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.840
<v Speaker 1>yeats like candida, and you end up with this imbalance.

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.560
<v Speaker 1>And when you have this imbalance, So Candida is one

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.439
<v Speaker 1>yeast that is well known in research and we can

0:19:26.480 --> 0:19:28.680
<v Speaker 1>test for, and so that's why I focus on her,

0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:30.960
<v Speaker 1>But it could be other yeasts that are not Candida too.

0:19:31.880 --> 0:19:34.119
<v Speaker 1>Ye have a mind of their own and they have

0:19:34.160 --> 0:19:37.480
<v Speaker 1>their own priorities, and so they will literally take over

0:19:37.680 --> 0:19:41.000
<v Speaker 1>our system and make you crave sugar, make you crave

0:19:41.080 --> 0:19:43.320
<v Speaker 1>things that make you have brain fog or fatigue so

0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:45.080
<v Speaker 1>that you want more sugar, crave the things that are

0:19:45.080 --> 0:19:48.000
<v Speaker 1>going to feed them. So candida is not a fun

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.639
<v Speaker 1>thing to have an overgrowth, But it's all about how

0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:52.760
<v Speaker 1>do we find the balance? Right. It's not bad in

0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:56.040
<v Speaker 1>and of itself, it's how it relates to everything else

0:19:56.040 --> 0:19:56.480
<v Speaker 1>in the body.

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, and before because you did talk about.

0:19:59.359 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 2>The womb, and I want to get into the mother conversation.

0:20:01.920 --> 0:20:04.480
<v Speaker 2>But I'm thinking of all of these things that you

0:20:04.520 --> 0:20:06.720
<v Speaker 2>can potentially have, right, and I'm sure you s helt

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:08.960
<v Speaker 2>it when you were studying this, You're like, this is overwhelming.

0:20:08.960 --> 0:20:10.520
<v Speaker 3>There's so many things. Do I have all of it?

0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 3>What's going on with my body?

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.240
<v Speaker 2>When somebody comes into you, what are some things they

0:20:15.240 --> 0:20:19.520
<v Speaker 2>should be evaluating about themselves and their lifestyle to even

0:20:19.640 --> 0:20:21.880
<v Speaker 2>head down one of these paths, to be like this

0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:24.480
<v Speaker 2>is a possibility. Like what is happening when somebody new

0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.240
<v Speaker 2>comes to you and they're getting diagnosed for lack of

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 2>a better.

0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 3>Term, or they're understanding their root causes? Is it an onion?

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:34.240
<v Speaker 3>Your peeling back? What does the process look like?

0:20:35.080 --> 0:20:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, to answer the first part of the question before

0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I answer the second part, the only requirement is to

0:20:40.600 --> 0:20:42.560
<v Speaker 1>have an open mindset and to want to play the

0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.960
<v Speaker 1>game of show me how good this can get. If

0:20:45.000 --> 0:20:46.720
<v Speaker 1>you were going to play the game of show me

0:20:46.800 --> 0:20:48.639
<v Speaker 1>how good I can feel in my body, show me

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:50.600
<v Speaker 1>how good I could feel in my life, and how

0:20:50.600 --> 0:20:54.160
<v Speaker 1>that's going to transform my relationships, my work, my partnership,

0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.639
<v Speaker 1>whatever it is. That's the only thing, because the rest

0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>we can always figure out. I think can feel overwhelming

0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:03.240
<v Speaker 1>when you're hearing it in some of these capacities, but

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the day, it's all one thing.

0:21:05.680 --> 0:21:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Whether it's a gut imbalance, whether it's a mineral imbalance.

0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:11.840
<v Speaker 1>We've been taught to think about the body as completely

0:21:11.840 --> 0:21:16.120
<v Speaker 1>separate symptoms. If you go to your general practitioner and say, hey,

0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I have brain fog and my period it really hurts

0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>and I feel loaded all the time after meals, they're

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:24.439
<v Speaker 1>going to send you to a neurologist and to a

0:21:24.440 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 1>gastro entrologist and to and what was the other thing

0:21:28.080 --> 0:21:31.879
<v Speaker 1>I said, undercrinologist, and they're going to all try and

0:21:31.960 --> 0:21:34.200
<v Speaker 1>fix you separately by giving you a band aid solution.

0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Everything in the body is connected, so the mineral imbalances

0:21:39.320 --> 0:21:41.240
<v Speaker 1>are related to the gut imbalances, and so we're really

0:21:41.320 --> 0:21:43.879
<v Speaker 1>healing them with one way. And so what I'm doing

0:21:43.960 --> 0:21:46.080
<v Speaker 1>is actually I don't diagnose anything, and what I do

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.879
<v Speaker 1>is actually radically different than a doctor in the sense

0:21:48.920 --> 0:21:54.240
<v Speaker 1>that while I'm uncovering root causes, we're not actually treating

0:21:54.240 --> 0:21:57.560
<v Speaker 1>any one thing. We're giving your body the proper tools,

0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:01.639
<v Speaker 1>environment and ingredients that it needs to heal itself to

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:04.040
<v Speaker 1>come back to balance itself, so that you can become

0:22:04.080 --> 0:22:06.320
<v Speaker 1>your own self healer. And that is I think what

0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.680
<v Speaker 1>is the most empowering thing in today's day and age,

0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.280
<v Speaker 1>where we like so often look to authority for everything else.

0:22:11.320 --> 0:22:13.679
<v Speaker 1>It's like, no, you are the expert of your body,

0:22:14.040 --> 0:22:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just helping you uncover roadblocks that have gotten

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>in the way.

0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.440
<v Speaker 2>See, And I wanted you to describe it in your

0:22:19.520 --> 0:22:21.920
<v Speaker 2>way because it is it's hard sometimes for us to

0:22:22.000 --> 0:22:24.919
<v Speaker 2>understand because we have been taught this very basic understanding

0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 2>of you go to a doctor, you get a diagnosis,

0:22:27.240 --> 0:22:29.639
<v Speaker 2>you bandid it, or to your point, you go to

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:31.840
<v Speaker 2>all these different varieties of doctors.

0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 3>But there's so much.

0:22:33.560 --> 0:22:36.160
<v Speaker 2>More to our body and understanding our body of how

0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:38.679
<v Speaker 2>it all works together and That's why I wanted you

0:22:38.720 --> 0:22:40.439
<v Speaker 2>to share a little piece of that in case nobody's

0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:42.679
<v Speaker 2>heard about it. I want to get into the mom's

0:22:42.720 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 2>side of this, because you became a mom in twenty

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:49.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty three, which had I imagine a big impact on

0:22:49.840 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>your life. But I want to know something you say

0:22:53.040 --> 0:22:58.040
<v Speaker 2>is that you have a positive postpartum experience, when very

0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.000
<v Speaker 2>often we hear about a lot of postpartum moms that don't.

0:23:01.200 --> 0:23:03.639
<v Speaker 2>So what are you doing differently that maybe we could

0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:06.000
<v Speaker 2>give out to the moms out there to have them help.

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And I could almost cry talking about this because

0:23:10.080 --> 0:23:14.200
<v Speaker 1>it's something I feel so deeply passionate about. I used

0:23:14.200 --> 0:23:16.440
<v Speaker 1>to go to these like new moms. I joined a

0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:19.440
<v Speaker 1>new mom's group in my community where for twelve weeks

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:22.640
<v Speaker 1>we like sat together and shared things and whatever, and

0:23:23.200 --> 0:23:25.040
<v Speaker 1>we would go around the room and share how things

0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:27.679
<v Speaker 1>were going. And it was just like, it hurt so

0:23:27.800 --> 0:23:31.720
<v Speaker 1>much to hear these swomen talking about just how much

0:23:31.760 --> 0:23:34.760
<v Speaker 1>they were struggling. I almost felt like a little uncomfortable

0:23:34.760 --> 0:23:38.640
<v Speaker 1>being like I'm doing awesome, because it was like, okay,

0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:41.960
<v Speaker 1>was not what we had just been hearing. But it's

0:23:41.960 --> 0:23:44.159
<v Speaker 1>also important to point that as like a beacon of light,

0:23:44.200 --> 0:23:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a lighthouse that this is possible. And so what was

0:23:46.040 --> 0:23:49.280
<v Speaker 1>I doing. The first thing I was doing is I

0:23:49.320 --> 0:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>was doing what was biologically appropriate and normal for me

0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:54.280
<v Speaker 1>and my baby. And I could teach you all the

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:56.879
<v Speaker 1>right nutrition things. I could teach you all of the

0:23:56.960 --> 0:23:59.840
<v Speaker 1>things to do for mineral balancing and for postpartum like

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:01.880
<v Speaker 1>healing of the teachers and all that stuff, and I will.

0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:06.800
<v Speaker 1>But the biggest thing that I was doing is going

0:24:06.840 --> 0:24:09.240
<v Speaker 1>back again to what my great great grandparents were doing

0:24:09.280 --> 0:24:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of what is normal for me and my baby and

0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:13.680
<v Speaker 1>my midwife. So I actually gave birth to my son

0:24:13.720 --> 0:24:16.120
<v Speaker 1>at home. That was something I knew that I wanted

0:24:16.160 --> 0:24:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to do since I was like a kid like. I

0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 1>went to visit a woman who had a baby in

0:24:20.480 --> 0:24:23.120
<v Speaker 1>our community with my mom, and when we left, I said,

0:24:23.119 --> 0:24:24.679
<v Speaker 1>I think I'm gonna have my babies at home, and

0:24:24.720 --> 0:24:26.959
<v Speaker 1>she laughed at me and I was like, yeah, right,

0:24:26.960 --> 0:24:28.359
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna want the epidrol and I was like, I

0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know, I just think I want my babies at home.

0:24:30.280 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 1>So my midwife was telling me this story about how

0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:35.639
<v Speaker 1>she went over to one of her client's houses once

0:24:35.800 --> 0:24:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and they had the baby in one of those electric rockers.

0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:42.800
<v Speaker 1>This's new was what it's called the basinet, three thousand

0:24:42.840 --> 0:24:48.159
<v Speaker 1>dollars to rock your baby. And her client, who had

0:24:48.200 --> 0:24:51.000
<v Speaker 1>had a baby a few weeks prior, was like so sad,

0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:53.160
<v Speaker 1>so depressed, and she said, I don't know what's wrong.

0:24:53.359 --> 0:24:56.159
<v Speaker 1>He sleeps all day in this thing. He's great, he's easy.

0:24:56.240 --> 0:24:58.440
<v Speaker 1>But I'm just like over here and I'm an absolute mess.

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:00.800
<v Speaker 1>And my midwife went and she picked the baby up

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:03.040
<v Speaker 1>out of this new and she put the baby in

0:25:03.200 --> 0:25:06.520
<v Speaker 1>her client's arms, and she said, stop using this thing.

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:08.600
<v Speaker 1>Hold your baby for the next two weeks and call

0:25:08.640 --> 0:25:11.760
<v Speaker 1>me and let me know how you're doing. Gone. Postpart

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:14.960
<v Speaker 1>and depression gone. We're supposed to be close to our

0:25:14.960 --> 0:25:19.320
<v Speaker 1>babies and holding them constantly, if you're breastfeeding as much

0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.560
<v Speaker 1>as possible, like sleeping with them, being with them. And

0:25:22.560 --> 0:25:24.680
<v Speaker 1>when we are apart from our babies, even for short

0:25:24.680 --> 0:25:26.640
<v Speaker 1>periods of time, our body gets anxious and our body

0:25:26.640 --> 0:25:29.119
<v Speaker 1>gets suppressed, because that's not what's supposed to be normal

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:31.080
<v Speaker 1>for us. And so that was like one of the

0:25:31.119 --> 0:25:33.880
<v Speaker 1>things that I really prioritized was we kept the first

0:25:33.880 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 1>forty days, I stayed like in my little cocoon with

0:25:36.600 --> 0:25:40.159
<v Speaker 1>my baby. My husband was super supportive and I was

0:25:40.200 --> 0:25:42.360
<v Speaker 1>touching him constantly, and I think that makes a really

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 1>big difference. So that's the first thing, and then the

0:25:45.080 --> 0:25:47.480
<v Speaker 1>other one is minerals. I know we talked about that already,

0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:50.760
<v Speaker 1>but to paint the picture for moms even more, there

0:25:50.840 --> 0:25:55.959
<v Speaker 1>is a massive mineral transfer that happens during pregnancy. So

0:25:56.040 --> 0:25:58.120
<v Speaker 1>you have spent, if this is your first baby, your

0:25:58.280 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>entire life storing like a little squirrel, storing acorns away,

0:26:02.320 --> 0:26:06.680
<v Speaker 1>storing away these minerals for the big event of getting

0:26:06.680 --> 0:26:10.360
<v Speaker 1>pregnant and passing those minerals onto your baby. And if

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we are not deeply replenishing when that mineral transfer happens

0:26:15.600 --> 0:26:19.200
<v Speaker 1>at birth or before birth. During pregnancy and then at birth,

0:26:19.240 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 1>we put out so many resources, right, there's so much

0:26:22.400 --> 0:26:26.680
<v Speaker 1>adrenaline and so much adrenal output that happens. And then

0:26:26.800 --> 0:26:29.639
<v Speaker 1>postpartum you're not sleeping as much. If you're breastfeeding, your

0:26:29.640 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 1>body is creating more nutrition for the baby. You will

0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.720
<v Speaker 1>end up so depleted. And that depletion can translate into

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:38.960
<v Speaker 1>anything from anxiety, brain fog, insecurities around me, am I

0:26:39.040 --> 0:26:41.159
<v Speaker 1>doing the right thing. It can translate to not feeling

0:26:41.200 --> 0:26:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like your body comes back to the way it should,

0:26:43.200 --> 0:26:46.520
<v Speaker 1>whether that's with weight or like actual healing of tissue,

0:26:47.040 --> 0:26:49.920
<v Speaker 1>all of which impacts our mental and physical and emotional health.

0:26:50.040 --> 0:26:53.120
<v Speaker 1>So really focusing on nutrient dense foods, and a lot

0:26:53.119 --> 0:26:56.199
<v Speaker 1>of people nowadays they just order takeout and it's like

0:26:56.280 --> 0:26:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the absolute worst thing that they could be doing, and

0:26:58.080 --> 0:26:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I get why they do it. It's hard. But if

0:26:59.440 --> 0:27:03.479
<v Speaker 1>you really intentionally plan for how to have really nourishing meals,

0:27:03.720 --> 0:27:06.440
<v Speaker 1>really mineral rich drinks, and how to really support your body,

0:27:06.480 --> 0:27:08.800
<v Speaker 1>it will totally change your postpartum experience.

0:27:09.600 --> 0:27:09.919
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:27:09.960 --> 0:27:12.199
<v Speaker 2>Those are really important things to have and things that

0:27:12.240 --> 0:27:14.199
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we ever think about because we're so

0:27:14.400 --> 0:27:18.119
<v Speaker 2>focused on just you get pregnant and you're so excited,

0:27:18.280 --> 0:27:20.800
<v Speaker 2>and then you're not really focused on what's to come after.

0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:24.000
<v Speaker 2>We are never focused as human beings, Like we get

0:27:24.040 --> 0:27:27.040
<v Speaker 2>to the really exciting moment and then after we're like, Okay,

0:27:27.080 --> 0:27:31.080
<v Speaker 2>whatever happens happens. So these are huge tools to have

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.880
<v Speaker 2>that I'm so glad you mentioned, So thank you for those.

0:27:34.520 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>Now it's never last thing, Like, it's never too late.

0:27:37.440 --> 0:27:41.160
<v Speaker 1>If you didn't prioritize that during pregnancy, you're an early postpartum.

0:27:41.520 --> 0:27:43.439
<v Speaker 1>You're a year and a half, two years postpartum, and

0:27:43.520 --> 0:27:46.359
<v Speaker 1>you feel like you're tanked. It's never too late to

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:47.560
<v Speaker 1>get started on these things.

0:27:48.000 --> 0:27:49.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh I'm glad you said that, because there will be

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:52.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure moms out there who are feeling similar to

0:27:52.119 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 2>what you're talking about, and to know that they can

0:27:54.160 --> 0:27:55.720
<v Speaker 2>start doing this even.

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:57.480
<v Speaker 3>A little bit, will be a big change.

0:27:59.440 --> 0:28:01.960
<v Speaker 2>Also, on this other side, I know we talk postpartum,

0:28:02.119 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 2>but on the flip side of having a baby in

0:28:04.600 --> 0:28:08.240
<v Speaker 2>the postpartum is the biological clock that we hear about

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:10.200
<v Speaker 2>and fertility declining as.

0:28:10.040 --> 0:28:10.760
<v Speaker 1>You get older.

0:28:11.800 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 2>What's your experience with those two things, because it's such

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.080
<v Speaker 2>a big topic, especially for someone like me who's entered

0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:20.680
<v Speaker 2>her thirties and gosh, if I have to hear somebody

0:28:20.720 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 2>tell me one more time, when are you gonna have

0:28:22.400 --> 0:28:25.320
<v Speaker 2>kids like you're getting older, I'm probably gonna punch somebody

0:28:25.320 --> 0:28:25.800
<v Speaker 2>in the face.

0:28:27.160 --> 0:28:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I have a lot of thoughts on this. I'll

0:28:33.000 --> 0:28:35.560
<v Speaker 1>narrow them down into two really important ones that I

0:28:35.600 --> 0:28:39.160
<v Speaker 1>think will also really hopefully reassure you as well on

0:28:39.200 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>a personal level. The first one is, so, yes, people

0:28:42.760 --> 0:28:46.320
<v Speaker 1>are waiting longer to have kids, like the average age

0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>of a woman having babies in the Western world is

0:28:48.520 --> 0:28:53.400
<v Speaker 1>going up significantly. However, is that a reason for the

0:28:53.480 --> 0:28:56.400
<v Speaker 1>declining fertility rate and for people struggling to get pregnant.

0:28:56.920 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's actually as big of a reason

0:28:58.960 --> 0:29:02.160
<v Speaker 1>as most doctors and modern even media just makes it

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:05.800
<v Speaker 1>out to be. And this is why because historically, even

0:29:05.840 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>going back thirty years, like not that long, women were

0:29:09.200 --> 0:29:11.720
<v Speaker 1>starting to have babies earlier, but they also had a

0:29:11.720 --> 0:29:16.560
<v Speaker 1>lot more kids, including into their late thirties and early forties. Yes,

0:29:17.200 --> 0:29:20.760
<v Speaker 1>like to some extent, we do see fertility change as

0:29:20.800 --> 0:29:23.920
<v Speaker 1>we get older, but it shouldn't. It doesn't explain the

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:26.560
<v Speaker 1>declining fertility rates in the way that we are seeing

0:29:26.600 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 1>them manifest. So it's actually something else happening. And here's

0:29:30.160 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 1>my hypothesis that is rooted in some research, but it's

0:29:33.680 --> 0:29:35.200
<v Speaker 1>hopefully something that we're going to be doing a lot

0:29:35.240 --> 0:29:37.400
<v Speaker 1>more research in the coming years because I think it's

0:29:37.440 --> 0:29:40.280
<v Speaker 1>such a big reason. So again, we talked about our

0:29:40.280 --> 0:29:43.680
<v Speaker 1>modern world being a pretty toxic relatively placed to how

0:29:43.720 --> 0:29:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it's been in years past. Now the body does another

0:29:47.960 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 1>weird thing. When it's we talked about that mineral transfer,

0:29:51.000 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 1>the body also uses pregnancy as an opportunity to detox

0:29:54.960 --> 0:29:58.719
<v Speaker 1>things that it can't typically detox very well. So what

0:29:58.840 --> 0:30:01.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll see if a twenty one year old, for example,

0:30:01.960 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>gets pregnant, she's had approximately twenty one years of accumulating

0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:07.600
<v Speaker 1>toxins in her body, so she can go on get

0:30:07.680 --> 0:30:10.320
<v Speaker 1>pregnant easier because she doesn't have all these toxins interfering

0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.320
<v Speaker 1>with her reproductive system, and she's less likely to have

0:30:13.360 --> 0:30:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a miscarriage because again, one of the things the body

0:30:16.280 --> 0:30:18.680
<v Speaker 1>will do is it will pass those toxins onto the baby,

0:30:18.720 --> 0:30:21.760
<v Speaker 1>and if those toxins are enough to kill the fetus,

0:30:21.920 --> 0:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>it will, and if it's not, then it's probably just

0:30:24.040 --> 0:30:28.400
<v Speaker 1>going to churn into things like allergies, ezema, asthma, etc.

0:30:28.720 --> 0:30:31.480
<v Speaker 1>When her baby's born. But if we have a thirty

0:30:31.520 --> 0:30:34.080
<v Speaker 1>five year old who's getting pregnant for the first time,

0:30:34.720 --> 0:30:37.800
<v Speaker 1>that's an additional fourteen years. That's more than fifty percent

0:30:37.920 --> 0:30:43.000
<v Speaker 1>more time of accumulating toxins, and so what we're actually

0:30:43.240 --> 0:30:48.000
<v Speaker 1>seeing is not necessarily a crisis of age, but more

0:30:48.160 --> 0:30:52.719
<v Speaker 1>crisis of environment and the way that's influencing fertility. So

0:30:52.800 --> 0:30:56.120
<v Speaker 1>on the positive side of that is likeers so much

0:30:56.160 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 1>we can do to reduce our toxic exposure and also

0:31:00.520 --> 0:31:04.560
<v Speaker 1>detox our bodies. I love nothing more than when women

0:31:04.640 --> 0:31:06.600
<v Speaker 1>come to me and they're like, I want to get

0:31:06.600 --> 0:31:10.640
<v Speaker 1>pregnant in a year, let's prep for it now. That

0:31:10.760 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>is like the move because you are able to not

0:31:14.160 --> 0:31:16.760
<v Speaker 1>only set yourself up for an easier time conceiving when

0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you are ready, but also a healthier pregnancy, a healthier baby,

0:31:19.840 --> 0:31:22.200
<v Speaker 1>et cetera. So if you're listening to this and you're

0:31:22.200 --> 0:31:24.720
<v Speaker 1>on the preconception side, or if you've been struggling with fertility,

0:31:25.080 --> 0:31:28.160
<v Speaker 1>my questions to you are really to get curious about

0:31:28.240 --> 0:31:34.040
<v Speaker 1>what you're not seeing, because really, no fertility is actually unexplained.

0:31:34.440 --> 0:31:37.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just do the people who are helping you have

0:31:38.240 --> 0:31:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the right tools and tests to help you figure out

0:31:40.960 --> 0:31:41.760
<v Speaker 1>what is causing it.

0:31:42.720 --> 0:31:45.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I really hope this can help some people out

0:31:45.160 --> 0:31:47.000
<v Speaker 2>there who have been struggling with that, because that is

0:31:47.040 --> 0:31:50.080
<v Speaker 2>such a common thing, especially these days where you just

0:31:50.120 --> 0:31:52.280
<v Speaker 2>hear people that it's taking people longer and longer to

0:31:52.320 --> 0:31:55.520
<v Speaker 2>have children, And I totally see it, even someone who

0:31:56.080 --> 0:31:58.800
<v Speaker 2>isn't even in the realm of having kids yet. But

0:31:58.840 --> 0:32:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I've started change, you know, over my household to healthier

0:32:02.040 --> 0:32:06.440
<v Speaker 2>things and utilizing glassware and stainless steel, and just because

0:32:06.480 --> 0:32:09.200
<v Speaker 2>it was for me right, this was like I transition

0:32:09.360 --> 0:32:12.400
<v Speaker 2>now and then it means things happening later to hopefully

0:32:12.440 --> 0:32:13.040
<v Speaker 2>be easier.

0:32:13.880 --> 0:32:15.480
<v Speaker 3>And I know.

0:32:15.480 --> 0:32:18.440
<v Speaker 2>That's difficult to do though, because we've been so accustomed

0:32:18.480 --> 0:32:23.840
<v Speaker 2>to this world of cheap things and plastics, the overarching

0:32:23.920 --> 0:32:28.160
<v Speaker 2>everything that's so environmentally difficult for us. But I do

0:32:28.240 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 2>hope some people hear that and have some hope that

0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 2>there's still a possibility if they can make some necessary changes.

0:32:35.600 --> 0:32:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Totally, if you're listening to this and you have been

0:32:37.760 --> 0:32:41.840
<v Speaker 1>feeling frustrated or even hopeless, my statistics are better than

0:32:41.840 --> 0:32:45.000
<v Speaker 1>the fertility clinics for helping my clients get pregnant. And

0:32:45.080 --> 0:32:48.280
<v Speaker 1>so many clients have come and been like my doctor said,

0:32:48.320 --> 0:32:50.680
<v Speaker 1>I'll never get pregnant without IBF, or they've gone and

0:32:50.720 --> 0:32:53.160
<v Speaker 1>done four or five rounds of IBF with no success,

0:32:53.640 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and then they get pregnant naturally three months later, beautiful,

0:32:56.080 --> 0:33:00.560
<v Speaker 1>healthy baby pregnancy Like it is one hundred percent. If

0:33:00.600 --> 0:33:03.480
<v Speaker 1>only doing the conventional things is what you've been doing,

0:33:03.520 --> 0:33:07.160
<v Speaker 1>there's always something else to explore. And the other thing, too,

0:33:07.320 --> 0:33:09.760
<v Speaker 1>is a lot like this is somewhat related, but is

0:33:09.760 --> 0:33:12.480
<v Speaker 1>the eg quality conversation is as we get older, like

0:33:12.520 --> 0:33:15.440
<v Speaker 1>people talk about equality quite a bit, but just in

0:33:15.480 --> 0:33:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the same way that like you could be seventy and

0:33:19.400 --> 0:33:21.440
<v Speaker 1>have two you could have two seventy year olds sitting

0:33:21.440 --> 0:33:24.160
<v Speaker 1>next to each other, one who didn't smoke cigarettes and

0:33:24.160 --> 0:33:26.959
<v Speaker 1>two took care of her skin was like treating her

0:33:27.000 --> 0:33:29.720
<v Speaker 1>body well, and then one who wasn't. And one woman

0:33:29.760 --> 0:33:32.520
<v Speaker 1>looks eighty and one woman looks fifty, right like ours,

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:35.400
<v Speaker 1>we can have a different way of aging, and so

0:33:36.240 --> 0:33:39.240
<v Speaker 1>your fertility can have an age that's different than you.

0:33:39.600 --> 0:33:41.560
<v Speaker 1>So there are so many things you can do with

0:33:41.760 --> 0:33:45.920
<v Speaker 1>antioxidants and like putting taking away oxidative stress in the

0:33:45.920 --> 0:33:50.120
<v Speaker 1>body and adding in more pro like res vitrol, for example,

0:33:50.240 --> 0:33:54.520
<v Speaker 1>is an amazing antioxidant that we see improve equality directly

0:33:54.600 --> 0:33:56.680
<v Speaker 1>because of the way that it reverses aging. So there's

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.200
<v Speaker 1>so much that you can do and just like really

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:01.000
<v Speaker 1>encouraging people to dive a little.

0:34:00.720 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>Deeper, yes, which is so much of what I feel

0:34:03.880 --> 0:34:07.360
<v Speaker 2>functional health is. And when you talk root causes, it's

0:34:07.600 --> 0:34:10.560
<v Speaker 2>to your point genuinely being open minded and willing to

0:34:10.600 --> 0:34:13.239
<v Speaker 2>try a new path that is probably not one that

0:34:13.280 --> 0:34:15.600
<v Speaker 2>you've heard a lot about, or one that you've been

0:34:15.640 --> 0:34:19.560
<v Speaker 2>deterred from taking, And so I really do appreciate that

0:34:19.719 --> 0:34:21.960
<v Speaker 2>side of things. I hope it give some hope out

0:34:22.000 --> 0:34:25.440
<v Speaker 2>there just to try something new. I know trying new

0:34:25.440 --> 0:34:28.520
<v Speaker 2>things is hard, and doing things that are so vastly

0:34:28.520 --> 0:34:31.600
<v Speaker 2>different is also hard, but it's helpful and you're a

0:34:31.680 --> 0:34:33.719
<v Speaker 2>testament to that in so many ways, not just for you,

0:34:33.800 --> 0:34:37.439
<v Speaker 2>but also with clients you've worked with. I also want

0:34:37.480 --> 0:34:40.719
<v Speaker 2>to know, speaking of this realm of things, because hormones

0:34:40.719 --> 0:34:44.200
<v Speaker 2>also often get looped into this page, are there any

0:34:44.239 --> 0:34:48.480
<v Speaker 2>habits that we're doing that are often influencing our hormones

0:34:49.280 --> 0:34:52.560
<v Speaker 2>or like our hormone behavior or the balance and what's

0:34:52.560 --> 0:34:56.719
<v Speaker 2>happening in there that we don't realize are impacting that.

0:34:56.800 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 2>Because I have a feeling based on a lot of

0:34:58.680 --> 0:35:00.040
<v Speaker 2>things you've told me, there are.

0:35:00.960 --> 0:35:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Definitely Some people probably have heard a lot about the

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:06.880
<v Speaker 1>circadian rhythm, So this is one that I think is

0:35:06.960 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 1>so understated, Like people just don't realize how much it

0:35:10.160 --> 0:35:13.000
<v Speaker 1>impacts our hormones. When I started talking about big hormonal

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.480
<v Speaker 1>impacts in the twentieth century that came on it was

0:35:16.520 --> 0:35:21.040
<v Speaker 1>birth control and modern lights like seriously like light bult

0:35:22.200 --> 0:35:23.239
<v Speaker 1>or like the biggest thing.

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:27.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, as I'm sitting here in front of very bright lights, like.

0:35:27.800 --> 0:35:30.480
<v Speaker 1>We're all doing it. And it's one of those things

0:35:30.480 --> 0:35:32.880
<v Speaker 1>where there's like a couple little easy things that you

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.439
<v Speaker 1>can do that really go a long way. The first

0:35:35.440 --> 0:35:38.160
<v Speaker 1>one is getting light early in the morning, like real

0:35:38.320 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 1>natural sunlight, going and opening your window and stating your

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.040
<v Speaker 1>head out the window for two or three minutes, or

0:35:43.080 --> 0:35:44.719
<v Speaker 1>going and sitting and having your cup of tea or

0:35:44.760 --> 0:35:47.640
<v Speaker 1>cup of coffee on your front porch, or like prioritizing

0:35:47.640 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>getting the dog out earlier. Getting sunshine, which is that

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:54.640
<v Speaker 1>blue light but specifically from the sun on our eyeballs,

0:35:54.719 --> 0:35:56.920
<v Speaker 1>starts to set up our circadian rhythm for the day,

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>which is so connected to our hormone system. So really

0:36:00.160 --> 0:36:01.960
<v Speaker 1>easy thing that you can do. So if you're someone

0:36:01.960 --> 0:36:03.879
<v Speaker 1>who just like stays inside for the first couple hours

0:36:03.920 --> 0:36:06.839
<v Speaker 1>of the day, no one's thinking about that, but that

0:36:06.920 --> 0:36:10.280
<v Speaker 1>is really potentially impacting your hormones. This is another actual,

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.120
<v Speaker 1>just like little thing that I learned recently at a conference.

0:36:13.200 --> 0:36:15.160
<v Speaker 1>This woman was describing it in such a beautiful way,

0:36:15.560 --> 0:36:19.759
<v Speaker 1>thinking again back to like ancestral times. If we were inside,

0:36:19.840 --> 0:36:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we were hiding. So even though you think that it's

0:36:23.160 --> 0:36:25.560
<v Speaker 1>like cozy and nice and whatever in your house, like

0:36:25.640 --> 0:36:28.799
<v Speaker 1>our bodies thrive on being outside. And so just like

0:36:28.920 --> 0:36:31.440
<v Speaker 1>the cord is all the stress hormone impacts all of

0:36:31.440 --> 0:36:34.320
<v Speaker 1>our other hormones. So spending more time outside in general

0:36:34.320 --> 0:36:36.160
<v Speaker 1>throughout the day as much as you can is awesome.

0:36:36.160 --> 0:36:38.080
<v Speaker 1>So if it's easy enough to like take your tea

0:36:38.120 --> 0:36:40.040
<v Speaker 1>and drink it outside instead of inside, do it.

0:36:40.600 --> 0:36:43.279
<v Speaker 2>And that's also why I feel like we when I

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:45.799
<v Speaker 2>go and spend out time outside in the sunshine, I

0:36:45.840 --> 0:36:46.600
<v Speaker 2>come back and I'm.

0:36:46.480 --> 0:36:47.440
<v Speaker 3>Just a happy person.

0:36:47.719 --> 0:36:51.600
<v Speaker 2>Like your body feels that way when you're outside and

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:53.920
<v Speaker 2>connected with nature.

0:36:54.440 --> 0:36:57.239
<v Speaker 1>It is so important. And yeah, and we're getting like

0:36:57.280 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you're breathing, like your outdoor era is much cleaner than

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:02.359
<v Speaker 1>you're in, and there's just so much. And then on

0:37:02.480 --> 0:37:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the circadian rhythm side, in the evenings, blue light in

0:37:06.400 --> 0:37:07.919
<v Speaker 1>the evening, and like we all think of like blue

0:37:07.960 --> 0:37:09.600
<v Speaker 1>light from our computers, Like I feel like that's not

0:37:09.640 --> 0:37:11.239
<v Speaker 1>like a new thing. People are like, oh, yeah, I

0:37:11.239 --> 0:37:12.960
<v Speaker 1>know I shouldn't be like all my device at night,

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:16.120
<v Speaker 1>But it's more than that. It's like your light bulbs,

0:37:16.400 --> 0:37:19.200
<v Speaker 1>and so switching your light bulbs out to the Edison

0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:22.120
<v Speaker 1>style bulbs, which was like the original light bulb where

0:37:22.160 --> 0:37:24.560
<v Speaker 1>it's more yellow and light and less of the led

0:37:24.680 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 1>and white makes a huge difference. They also have all

0:37:28.120 --> 0:37:30.520
<v Speaker 1>these like smart light bulbs now that you can switch

0:37:30.600 --> 0:37:33.000
<v Speaker 1>them to be red in the evening, like just on

0:37:33.040 --> 0:37:36.080
<v Speaker 1>your phone, which is cool because the red light is amazing.

0:37:36.239 --> 0:37:38.279
<v Speaker 1>Or you can just be super dorky like me and

0:37:38.320 --> 0:37:41.600
<v Speaker 1>I have these like actual blue light blocking glasses, but

0:37:41.640 --> 0:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>they're not the clear ones that are cool. Mine are

0:37:44.520 --> 0:37:46.680
<v Speaker 1>like orange. They look like I look like I'm just

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:50.279
<v Speaker 1>like parting these like dorky orange glasses. My husband makes

0:37:50.320 --> 0:37:52.000
<v Speaker 1>so much fun of me, and I'm like, I don't care.

0:37:52.200 --> 0:37:53.920
<v Speaker 1>My norm worlds are better for it, and I sleep

0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:56.319
<v Speaker 1>so much better. I noticed that there was a couple

0:37:56.400 --> 0:37:58.360
<v Speaker 1>days last week where my son had misplaced them and

0:37:58.400 --> 0:38:02.000
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't find them, and I did not sleep nearly

0:38:02.080 --> 0:38:04.840
<v Speaker 1>as well. So the biggest habit, I would say, is

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:08.560
<v Speaker 1>like your lighting, and there's a couple really easy fixes,

0:38:08.600 --> 0:38:10.000
<v Speaker 1>and then you don't worry about it if you're at

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:12.120
<v Speaker 1>someone else's house having a good time at night, Like

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>who cares You're enjoying your life. But if eighty percent

0:38:15.520 --> 0:38:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of the time just normal days in and days out,

0:38:17.640 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>you're getting sunshine in the morning and red light at night,

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:20.560
<v Speaker 1>it'll be really helpful.

0:38:21.120 --> 0:38:23.200
<v Speaker 2>And you can also be like me because she did say,

0:38:23.239 --> 0:38:25.359
<v Speaker 2>make the lights not be led, And I put little

0:38:25.440 --> 0:38:27.719
<v Speaker 2>Christmas lights on one of my trees, and it's the

0:38:27.800 --> 0:38:30.360
<v Speaker 2>warm lighting and that's all I ever have on at

0:38:30.440 --> 0:38:33.040
<v Speaker 2>night and makes it cozy. That's all I leave on

0:38:33.400 --> 0:38:36.040
<v Speaker 2>and it's always like perfect, And I do feel like

0:38:36.080 --> 0:38:38.319
<v Speaker 2>I sleep better when I utilize that.

0:38:38.320 --> 0:38:41.000
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing. I'm so happy to do that. And also

0:38:41.080 --> 0:38:43.279
<v Speaker 1>like candle lighting. I actually have a friend who has

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:46.319
<v Speaker 1>three kids, and she did this experiment where once it

0:38:46.360 --> 0:38:48.800
<v Speaker 1>became dark outside, especially in the winter when it was earlier,

0:38:48.840 --> 0:38:51.719
<v Speaker 1>they only used candles at night, which is like a

0:38:51.719 --> 0:38:54.880
<v Speaker 1>commitment to just set that up. She said they noticed

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:57.400
<v Speaker 1>that their kids weren't hyper at night anymore. That like

0:38:57.480 --> 0:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>they enjoyed dinner so much more. Everything was so much calmer.

0:39:01.320 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's that same idea. So get your vibes on

0:39:04.080 --> 0:39:06.640
<v Speaker 1>and be cozy with it. For sure. This is perfect.

0:39:06.680 --> 0:39:08.440
<v Speaker 3>You can go red light, you can go glasses, you

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 3>can go Christmas lights.

0:39:09.600 --> 0:39:10.120
<v Speaker 2>Candles.

0:39:10.680 --> 0:39:13.000
<v Speaker 3>It can still be fun even though you're helping and

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:13.960
<v Speaker 3>changing your body.

0:39:14.480 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 2>Okay, Stephanie, I feel like I could talk to you

0:39:16.480 --> 0:39:18.759
<v Speaker 2>all day about all of these things in your knowledge.

0:39:19.000 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 2>I love to end on whether it be just a

0:39:21.920 --> 0:39:24.239
<v Speaker 2>very big piece of advice, maybe something we didn't touch on,

0:39:24.680 --> 0:39:26.640
<v Speaker 2>or something motivational you want to leave us on.

0:39:27.040 --> 0:39:29.959
<v Speaker 3>I like to end our episodes on something fun.

0:39:29.640 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 2>And informational, motivational, inspirational, whatever you want.

0:39:34.160 --> 0:39:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, this is so fun and it's so

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:38.600
<v Speaker 1>open ended that I'm like, where could I go? Let's see.

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:45.640
<v Speaker 1>I think what I want to share is that you,

0:39:46.080 --> 0:39:50.120
<v Speaker 1>like every person listening to this, Yes, your body is

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:53.399
<v Speaker 1>super unique, but it is not rocket science to get

0:39:53.440 --> 0:39:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it to function optimally. And so often I think that

0:39:57.680 --> 0:40:03.360
<v Speaker 1>we've been just like fed this story that things are normal,

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:08.200
<v Speaker 1>painful periods, not having energy, acting whatever, the things are right,

0:40:08.239 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that make us not feel perfect in our bodies,

0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:15.360
<v Speaker 1>when we need to recognize that common is not normal

0:40:15.920 --> 0:40:18.440
<v Speaker 1>just because it's common. It's not normal, and you don't

0:40:18.440 --> 0:40:21.600
<v Speaker 1>have to settle for common, like you don't have to

0:40:21.640 --> 0:40:24.840
<v Speaker 1>be common, you get to be special, and so like, really,

0:40:25.320 --> 0:40:27.360
<v Speaker 1>if you are stuck and feeling like, Oh, I have

0:40:27.400 --> 0:40:29.720
<v Speaker 1>all of these common things and I know they're not normal.

0:40:30.960 --> 0:40:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Follow that calling, because so much waits for you on

0:40:33.400 --> 0:40:34.160
<v Speaker 1>the other side.

0:40:34.719 --> 0:40:36.759
<v Speaker 3>Oh see, this is a perfect thing to end on.

0:40:36.880 --> 0:40:40.080
<v Speaker 2>This is an inspirational, motivational, and informative.

0:40:40.280 --> 0:40:43.200
<v Speaker 3>This is important. Thank you, Stephanie for being here. I
