You know, that's great, great business 173 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: and we all as black people should start learning how 174 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: to do business that way. 175 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 7: Yeah. 176 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,520 Speaker 3: My opp is just that people need to understand and 177 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 3: maybe do more research on why people scale and sell businesses. 178 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 3: I think that's like a fundamental thing that's a part 179 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 3: of business. When you start a business, the main objective 180 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 3: is to grow your company to scale and then to 181 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 3: sell it. Now, I think the issue that lies with 182 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: some people is that they feel like maybe the integrity 183 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: of the product may be lost or maybe a big 184 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 3: altered because if it gets to the point where you're 185 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 3: going to have to outsource for certain factories or things 186 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 3: like that, then they worry about the product that they 187 00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: love so much. And it's true as far as being 188 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 3: either diluted, water down and whatnot. So I understand the 189 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 3: concern about that, but also understanding that black entrepreneurs who 190 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 3: have products specifically it's a lot to get them into 191 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: these bigger companies where they can then do more, like 192 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 3: to your point, then being able to pay it forward 193 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: by using the funds that they get to help other 194 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 3: people as well or reinvest into small businesses. 195 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 4: So you know where we stand on business. It's just 196 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 4: you know where we're staying. 197 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 3: We be standing on business and we support black entrepreneurs 198 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,119 Speaker 3: who really have a bigger vision for their companies. 199 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the Honey Pot Company was something that 200 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 5: was needed in the space in the large scale space 201 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 5: because that badger seale douche your grandma will been using. 202 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: Since nineteen six or the mass and gilt, Yeah, the 203 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 3: what is. 204 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 5: It called the what's the Summer's eve? 205 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: Yeah? 206 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 5: Yeah, she putting ACV in the tub. Still that's not 207 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 5: working out, baby, So honey pot is really solving an 208 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 5: issue for the girls. Let her do that for all 209 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 5: the girls. We colch. Somebody's uh ma'am a too be 210 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 5: doing that shit. Somebody's white madma put the douche away. 211 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 5: Get her some honey. 212 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,840 Speaker 2: I also want to say this to shout out to 213 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: her because I just made a post and I forgot 214 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 2: her name. But the father of modern gynecology, it's just 215 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 2: been exposed that he became known as the father of 216 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 2: modern guy to ecology by operating on young black women 217 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:17,839 Speaker 2: who were enslaved. Yet, so to me, this is another 218 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,080 Speaker 2: example of black women taking their own health and wellness 219 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: into their own hands and saying, we're not going to 220 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,839 Speaker 2: rely on anyone else to tell us how to treat 221 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 2: our bodies. So I understand the connection that black women 222 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: have to honeypop because if you think about the father 223 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 2: of modern guynecology not caring about black voices. Now you 224 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:41,479 Speaker 2: have something specifically for black women. I get why there's 225 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: that feeling of like this is out. 226 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 4: Right, don't ruin it for us, right, And. 227 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: I do think there is a responsibility for business owners 228 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: if you're going to sell a business or scale a business, 229 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 2: to find a partner that's going to try to keep 230 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 2: the business as close to what it was. 231 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: So that all of the people who supported your. 232 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: Business can continue to get the care and the things 233 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 2: they needed in that business. So let's not act like 234 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 2: that's not part of it. And I'm pretty sure she 235 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: tried her best. Just like we saw this with the 236 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 2: mal company, we see this with Tad, we see this 237 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 2: with a lot of Now black women who have businesses 238 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: are getting backlash from other people who don't understand the 239 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 2: business aspect of it. There are two components. There's the 240 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: component that you own that you love your people, but 241 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 2: there's the business. And we can't cripple these women's business 242 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 2: because we have a sentimental value on it. Same way 243 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 2: we can't just dismiss our constituents and our people because 244 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 2: we want to make money. There's a balance, So let's 245 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: make sure that we understand both absolutely. 246 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:37,679 Speaker 4: Love it, love it love it. 247 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, So we've been talking about we're talking about hell today. Yes, 248 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 5: has been talking about he's in the best shape of 249 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 5: his life. Kaden's been talking about she's in the best 250 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 5: shape of her life. Even Matt, Matt's been getting reefing 251 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 5: the benefits. 252 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: Listens on to. 253 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 3: No, it's been it's been quite the journey, and it's 254 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 3: amazing to see how when you get to the root 255 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 3: cause of what your issues are, that in itself is healing. 256 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 3: So we're so accustomed to getting the band aids put 257 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: on or the quick fixes. But what helped me a 258 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 3: great deal was when I went to the holistic doctor 259 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 3: and had that blood work done. The name of the test, 260 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 3: because so many people were asking about the name of 261 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 3: the test that I did. It's called the alcat A 262 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 3: l C at the alcat test, and it's pretty much 263 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 3: a chemical sensitivities food test and went by testing your blood. 264 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 1: It's impossible. 265 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 3: You had to plug his thing is this particular test 266 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 3: per food group was able to tell me the things 267 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,000 Speaker 3: that were highly sensitive for me and things that were 268 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 3: giving me the green light, like girl, you can have 269 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 3: all you want of this, but limit that. And I 270 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: noticed at first I was like, you know, this test 271 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: is probably this is cap Like, I'm like, they can't 272 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 3: possibly need me. 273 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: To cut all these things just to be healthy. 274 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 3: But some of the biggest things that I saw that 275 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 3: would cause inflammation in my body were dairy, gluten, anything 276 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: from the sea. So I could essentially be a pescatarian 277 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 3: because anything from the sea was okay, yeah, it makes sense, right, 278 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 3: dark chocolate or just chocolate in general. Something that was 279 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 3: highly inflammatory to me cane sugar you know your Island 280 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: girl again, like, I can't have my sugar cane. Like 281 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: so many things were heartbreaking for me. But I did 282 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 3: notice when I was preparing to film Divorced Sisters, I 283 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 3: really locked down, you know, for six weeks. I was like, 284 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 3: you know what, I'm get in the best shape of 285 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 3: my life possible. 286 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 4: So I to. 287 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: A tea eliminated anything from my diet that was highly inflammatory. 288 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 3: I worked with an online trainer who composed pretty much 289 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 3: a meal plan for me based off of the things 290 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 3: that I could have. The only exception that I had 291 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 3: to keep just because I needed the protein source in 292 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,200 Speaker 3: the morning was eggs. So while my body shows that 293 00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 3: I should stay away from eggs for the majority of 294 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 3: the time I did have eggs and moderation, and I 295 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: noticed that my skin. 296 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: That was the biggest one for me. My skin cleared 297 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: up so much. 298 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 3: And I would like to say that since I was 299 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 3: a teenager, since I hit puberty, I always struggled with acne. 300 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,959 Speaker 3: I would have my bouts with it, you know, a 301 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: little before that time of the month, I would have breakouts. 302 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 3: And I noticed that my skin was the best ever. 303 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 3: I had no breakouts on my back, my jawline, my face, 304 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 3: everything was clear. Of course, drinking an abundance of water, 305 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 3: So drinking that gallon of water a day is not 306 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: just something people say just to say, that is the 307 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: way of flushing toxins out of your body. Working out 308 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: five times a week, strength training in addition to cardio, 309 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 3: getting in the sauna. 310 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 2: So we have the five things that I wanted to 311 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: take them through, the five things. 312 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: That we do. And the reason why I didn't want 313 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: to break it down. 314 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 2: So scientific is because everybody doesn't have access to that test. 315 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 1: Right. 316 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 2: That test is expensive, Right, The test costs a couple 317 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,120 Speaker 2: thousand dollars, and if you don't have a couple thousand 318 00:14:58,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 2: or sick that test. I wanted to be able to 319 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 2: get people some things you can do right now to 320 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: change right. 321 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 3: Well, I'm unsure what this particular test costs because I 322 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 3: had done a complete workup that was blood, stool, and saliva, 323 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: so that compiled together from this doctor was about thirty 324 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,400 Speaker 3: five hundred dollars, So I'm not sure what the blood 325 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 3: work alone would be. But I implore you to find out, 326 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 3: like reach out to your nearest holistic doctor or neuropathic 327 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 3: doctor and see if you can get at least the 328 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 3: blood work done. You know, it's an investment for me 329 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 3: because I said, you know, if I can go drop 330 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 3: this money on a trip or potentially something materialistic, I 331 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 3: want to make the investment in my health. 332 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: So some people don't even have a couple hundred dollars 333 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: to say, I always say, let's give them five things 334 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 2: that they can do right. The first the first five 335 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 2: things that I know that you can do was release stress, 336 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: drink water, exercise, change your diet, and get sun right. 337 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 1: So those are the five things. Number one. 338 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: The one thing we changed over the last six months 339 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 2: that really made a difference was we no longer wake 340 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: up and run to the phone. Kadeen and our first 341 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: thing when we used to wake up used to be 342 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: the minute I would wake up my eyes, I will 343 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 2: go right to my cellphone and I will check my accounts, 344 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 2: and I'm talking about all of my bank accounts to 345 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:08,880 Speaker 2: make sure all the money was there. Then I reach 346 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: out to all of my my associates that I have 347 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 2: to do business with to make sure that I'm on 348 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 2: top of everything. Then I check my social media accounts 349 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 2: to make sure nothing I hacked into. And I started 350 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 2: to realize that doing that first thing in the morning 351 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,600 Speaker 2: creates a level of anxiety that the minute you wake up, 352 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: the first thing you're doing is looking at something electronic. 353 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 4: It has to be done for the day, you. 354 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying, from sleep to just I'm up, 355 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 2: And that was all stress, right, So that was the 356 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: first thing.

So for us, it's just become a 379 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 2: thing that when we wake up, we just go brush 380 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: our teeth because we don't want that bacteria.

So what I try 403 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 2: to tell people is you want to get thirty five 404 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 2: to forty minutes in the sun, not to the point 405 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 2: where you're drenched in sweat and you can't stand anymore. 406 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: But you have to get that vitamin D. 407 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: Most Black people these days have vitamin D deficiency because 408 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 2: we don't like being in the sun. And that comes 409 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 2: from growing up and your parents telling you get out 410 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 2: the sun, don't get dark. You're gonna be in the 411 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: sun getting dark, and no, let's get in the sun 412 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: and get dark. That's where our. 413 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:52,800 Speaker 1: Muscles, our skin, our bones. 414 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 2: We developed so many nutrients from sitting in the sun 415 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 2: and also putting your feet on the soil. 416 00:18:58,240 --> 00:18:58,920 Speaker 4: And put your crown. 417 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's like a connection that you have essentially to 418 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 3: like the earth center of the earth when you're there. 419 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 2: After that, we're gonna come in this house and we're 420 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 2: gonna work out, And the type of workout we do 421 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 2: is going to be very different than what people think. 422 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: People think that we go when we say movement, we 423 00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 1: just oh, I do. 424 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,399 Speaker 2: My high inclined walk on the treadbill for thirty minutes, 425 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 2: and I may do some hit workouts. No, we lift 426 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 2: heavy weights to develop strength in our quads, our thighs, 427 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: our hamstrings, and lower back because studies also show people 428 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: who have grip strength and strengthen their legs live longer. 429 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 3: Right, and they live a functional life. You don't want 430 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 3: to just live and be sedentary. You want to be 431 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 3: able to move. So I saw a video recently and 432 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 3: it was like kind of cool to see because it's 433 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 3: like you do a dead lift in order to pick 434 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 3: up groceries, You do a squat to eventually have to 435 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 3: get on and off the toilet. These are things that 436 00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: people at a certain age are not able to do anymore. 437 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 4: You can't even open a jar say. 438 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: They say, most women, I think, by the age of 439 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,000 Speaker 3: sixty five can't even open a jar of like tomatoes 440 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 3: because the grip strength is gone. So all of these 441 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: things are what we do in mind, not just for 442 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 3: the vanity of it, but for the functionality and long 443 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,679 Speaker 3: term movement that we aim to have as we age. 444 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: The biggest thing we did was we changed our nutrition. 445 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: We no longer wake up first thing in the morning 446 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: and run to eat breakfast. That's something that we were 447 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: all taught that breakfast was the most important meal of 448 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: the day. If you get you they started without breakfast, 449 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: that you can't have a good functional day. 450 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: It's not the truth. It's actually the opposite. 451 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 2: We've noticed that if we delay eating breakfast and we 452 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 2: get some work done first, minus the days where I 453 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,360 Speaker 2: got lower heavy if I got lower heavy body, I'm 454 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: gonna eat me something for that because then I feel lightheaded. 455 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: But in days where I don't have a lot of 456 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: heavy weights to lift. 457 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,640 Speaker 2: I'll delay eating breakfast because my body stays in key 458 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: toasis and it allows me to burn fat. And then 459 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: the first thing I put in my body is not 460 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: a bunch of sugar. I'm not gonna have pancakes and 461 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 2: French toast with. 462 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: A bunch of oat meal. 463 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 2: All that I'll tell Okay, I'll take eggs and berries, 464 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 2: Bluebear reason eggs, that's it. I'll take drink my coconut water. 465 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,200 Speaker 2: That's another thing we do. We started to eat drink 466 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 2: more constructed water. So rather than just drinking regular water 467 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,120 Speaker 2: from the tap or water from the bottle, don't drink 468 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 2: disanisny is like the worst water you can ever drink 469 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 2: in your life. Get some coconut water, get some watermelon 470 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,959 Speaker 2: juice water, honeydew, melon water, like these are things that 471 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 2: may have some electrolytes. 472 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:30,959 Speaker 5: But you know what I learned because a lot of 473 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 5: just people who are I guess not well informed or 474 00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:39,520 Speaker 5: just not completely informed. A lot of people do like 475 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 5: colon cleanting, which I think there can be some benefits 476 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 5: to colon cleansing, But something I learned is that it 477 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 5: depletes your body of electrolytes. It does, and electrolytes are 478 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 5: good for your heart health. So a lot of people 479 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 5: end up with like heart damage or heart failure doing 480 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,000 Speaker 5: colon cleansing. 481 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 3: Absolutely right, Those are not meant to be done all 482 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 3: the time, or it's not a quick fix. 483 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 5: I saw an influencer never I know. 484 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,960 Speaker 2: When I played in the NFL, Right, they were talking 485 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 2: to us about colon cleansing to lose weight.

That's why 498 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 2: we wanted to do this so much, because it's not 499 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 2: about doing all of these super fad diets.

Now, my candy is not gonna be 511 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,160 Speaker 2: five Snickers and ten packs of gummy beers. 512 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 5: Man, I can't even keep a bag of many Snickers 513 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 5: in the house. 514 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: Many ones hit better than the longing about its yeah. 515 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: Joints versus the regular joints anytime. 516 00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 5: Absolutely that's been important for me, is like just trying 517 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 5: to change my diet and making just better choices when 518 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 5: especially when it comes to like snacks. So instead of 519 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 5: getting a bag of candy, I'll get a bag of 520 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 5: dried fruits. 521 00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,640 Speaker 3: Yeah there you go to mangos mango apples. Like that's 522 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: been really good too. But I do believe, like the boys, 523 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,400 Speaker 3: for example, going back to school, I do believe every 524 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 3: maybe annually, you do like a reset. So back to 525 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,679 Speaker 3: back one tradition that my grandmother did with us every 526 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: year before going back to school. You know what it is, right, 527 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 3: You get your wash out, okay, and that's pretty much 528 00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 3: when she would boil some herbs, little senna, this, that 529 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 3: and the third, and then you would drink the tea. 530 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 3: My mother would drop us to my grandmother's house on 531 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: a Friday evening and we would stay with her through 532 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 3: the weekend. And we had to make sure that there 533 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 3: was a toilet available for each of us because throughout 534 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 3: the weekend your body would pretty much expel all the weights. 535 00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 3: I do think like every now and again that's necessary. 536 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 3: But then you have to replenish your body with the 537 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 3: things that may have been depleted. So that's a good 538 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,360 Speaker 3: point to triple about the colon cleansing. 539 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: That is, that's a really good point. I also noticed 540 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 2: that with people they make excuses. Right, it's expensive to 541 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 2: eat healthy. 542 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: This is a fact. Right. 543 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 2: We would go get a brunch on a Sunday, family 544 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 2: of six of us, right plus mom and dad a 545 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 2: family of eight and a brunch will cost us anywhere 546 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 2: between eight hundred to one thousand dollars. Right, Seriously, bunches, 547 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 2: think about it, bunch, think about when I think people 548 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: go to brunch, right, what do they have a lot of. 549 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:17,639 Speaker 4: Oh, bottomless momosa drinking wafles. 550 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,480 Speaker 1: So it's about one hundred dollars per person when you 551 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,399 Speaker 1: go to you know what I'm saying. We go to 552 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: the farmers market. 553 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 2: Now, she spends three hundred and fifty dollars and we 554 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 2: have fruits and vegetables and food for the entire week. 555 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 2: So when people say like it's impossible to eat healthy, 556 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 2: it's not. Yeah, we got to drive forty five minutes 557 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,359 Speaker 2: to the farmers market because there's no farmers. 558 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: Market by the house. 559 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 2: But yo, rather than driving to Sunday brunch with your homegirls, 560 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,199 Speaker 2: how about we all drive to the farmers market, get 561 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,880 Speaker 2: some groceries for the crib, go back home and make 562 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 2: some stuff at the crib, and eat healthier. 563 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 1: This is where you can live longer, because once you 564 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: change your lifestyle, you be shocked. 565 00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 4: Be shocked. 566 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 2: We walk into movies now and not only me, kids 567 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:01,760 Speaker 2: be like, I don't want no candy. 568 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,439 Speaker 1: It's like your body just don't get you. 569 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 3: Don't want anymore, and then you start craving the things 570 00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 3: that you've been putting in. So we went to Mexico 571 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: with the boys for vacation, went to the Nickelodeon resort. Right, 572 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 3: all things there are catering to kids. So de Val 573 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 3: and I went there and we were just like, oh 574 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 3: my god, how are we going to eat? Because we've 575 00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,439 Speaker 3: been accustomed to eating a certain kind of way, and 576 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 3: we would load up on breakfast mainly because we can 577 00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 3: get eggs, we can get the fresh fruit and things 578 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 3: like that. 579 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 4: But after that, forget it. 580 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:28,800 Speaker 6: Chicken fingers burgers, you. 581 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: Know, and that's just it. 582 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 3: When I came home, I landed, I literally was craving 583 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 3: a big. 584 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 4: Like kale salad. 585 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 3: I was that I need greens, I need all the things. 586 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 3: But everything was in moderation, y'all. You have to slowly 587 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 3: cut things in moderation. You can't cold turkey say I'm 588 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,480 Speaker 3: gonna drop this, I'm gonna drop that, because you will 589 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:53,359 Speaker 3: end up binging. By making small changes, little by little, 590 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 3: it's more impactful, I promise. 591 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: We can also talk about this. Though we no longer 592 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 2: plan vacations around food, A lot of people do that, 593 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: especially Americans. Right, We're gonna go. 594 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 1: Somewhere and it's like they gotta a buffet for breakfast. Buffet. 595 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,040 Speaker 2: It's like, why do we go on vacation and look 596 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,400 Speaker 2: to pig out like this is the last supper. When 597 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,240 Speaker 2: me and Kadeen did say, yo, let's get some eggs 598 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 2: in the morning, let's get some fresh fruit. 599 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,920 Speaker 1: Will fast through. 600 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 2: The end of the night, and then when we can 601 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 2: get a really good dinner, we'll eat dinner. And what 602 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 2: we notice is that we're no longer on vacation bloated 603 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: and heavy and tire because. 604 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:30,960 Speaker 1: We're sitting on the beach drinking like rum punches because 605 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:31,600 Speaker 1: that's what we use. 606 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 4: Super sweet. 607 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 5: Yeah. Yeah, I think one thing that people may be 608 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,480 Speaker 5: referring to because I know that there's there's people who 609 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,959 Speaker 5: are living in poverty who it is actually expensive to 610 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 5: eat healthy for absolutely yeah. And then there are people 611 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 5: who can't afford to go to brunch on the weekends 612 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 5: who think that eating healthy is expensive. But maybe it's 613 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 5: that it takes a lot more effort than what they 614 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,200 Speaker 5: are used to or what they have capacity for where 615 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 5: they think they have capacity for it. Because most of 616 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 5: us eating vegetables is we eat vegetables that we grew 617 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,680 Speaker 5: up eating. We can steam a green bean, a broccoli, 618 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 5: maybe a little cauliflower, maybe a kale salad. That's kind 619 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 5: of new to some of us that we might be 620 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 5: able to saltakee some of that, But what else do 621 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 5: you do? And now you got to figure out a recipe. 622 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 5: You got to figure out what's a good protein to 623 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 5: eat if I can't eat red meat, or like what 624 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,399 Speaker 5: kind of vegetables can I eat that won't make me 625 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 5: feel blooded? All that stuff takes a lot of effort. 626 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's crazy though thinking about that. 627 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 2: My grandparents were alive during the Great Depression, and what 628 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 2: I learned during that time speaking to them was that 629 00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: when they were going through times where they were in 630 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:41,040 Speaker 2: extreme poverty, they didn't just look for anything to eat. 631 00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: They ate less because we really don't have to force 632 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 2: feed ourselves to eat four or five times. So, say 633 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,120 Speaker 2: you live in a place or you're in a position 634 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 2: where financially you just don't have it. That was us 635 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 2: in two thousand and nine to twenty twelve where Kadeena 636 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 2: and I were eating eggs in the morning in grits 637 00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 2: multiple times during the day because we didn't have the 638 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 2: ability to go to brunch every week. So it was 639 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 2: like eggs became our thing. And for me, it's like 640 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: if you live in a position where you can't afford 641 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 2: every single meal. It's going to sound crazy, but it's 642 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 2: okay to not eat every single meal. Like we have 643 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: to stop being gluttonous and just thinking that, you know 644 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,600 Speaker 2: what I gotta eat, So let me get McDonald's. Yeah, 645 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:24,120 Speaker 2: you know what, you don't have to eat. Get some 646 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,800 Speaker 2: coconut water, you know what I'm saying. Get some berries 647 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 2: or something you can eat, and then it later on 648 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 2: to night, save that money that you have and try 649 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 2: to get some beef, try to get a chicken said, 650 00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 2: you know, try to get something that has value. 651 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 5: Well, that's what I was gonna say. Like, it does 652 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 5: become expensive when you're trying to eat when you don't 653 00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 5: know how to make vegetables, you don't know how to 654 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,520 Speaker 5: use herbs, So you're getting processed foods. You're trying to 655 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 5: mimic what you already were eating, but you're trying to 656 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 5: do it in a quote unquote healthier way. So you're 657 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 5: getting ultraprocessed foods that maybe like plant based or maybe 658 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 5: low fat. That stuff can be expensive just because their 659 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 5: marketing is health time. Yeah, it's not necessarily healthy, and 660 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:05,960 Speaker 5: then you still will end up with, you know, health 661 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 5: issues because this stuff has a lot of sugar. 662 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 4: It's got a lot of yeah. 663 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:10,080 Speaker 7: No. 664 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 3: And it's also not even just what you're eating, is 665 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 3: the way you're preparing it, because you can have the 666 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: same meal with for example, using vegetable oil versus avocado oil, 667 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: and using a spray can oil versus liquid oil. Like 668 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 3: I forget which I was looking at something else because 669 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,640 Speaker 3: my feet is like all health now, But they were 670 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:35,400 Speaker 3: showing the comparison between you know, a tablespoon of olive 671 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 3: oil that you cooked with versus just using the spray. 672 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 4: It brought the meal up like. 673 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,880 Speaker 3: Three hundred calories. So sometimes the way you prepare certain meals, too, 674 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 3: will also dictate how nutritious it is. 675 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 2: I'm glad you brought up the oils and understanding now 676 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,480 Speaker 2: that we don't put the same oils in our food 677 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 2: that we did. We don't use margarine because all of 678 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: these things, even the idea of plant based. Do you 679 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 2: know why they call things plant based not because it 680 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 2: comes from a place. It is because it comes from 681 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 2: a plant. It's made with chemicals. People don't even realize that. 682 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:11,360 Speaker 2: And what happens is it was when I seriously was 683 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 2: a marketing employer to trick people into thinking this is 684 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 2: healthier than eating meat. This is healthier, So let me 685 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,320 Speaker 2: go plant based.

And it's like, 692 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: how healthy is that? It's not healthy? But it was 693 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:36,160 Speaker 2: never meant to be healthy. 694 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: Just like why is Kentucky Fried Chicken now called KFC. 695 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 6: Not chicken barbe. 696 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,520 Speaker 7: Islands barbecuing. 697 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 4: You can't best KFC is in the Islands, bro. 698 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 5: That's why, for sure that Anthony Bourdain said the best 699 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:56,080 Speaker 5: KFC was in Egypt. 700 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 4: We've never it's on the it's on the bucket list 701 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 4: of things to do. 702 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: I do think it's important for us to understand, to 703 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: understand why food is the way it is in America. 704 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 2: Food has food has been used not only to manipulate us, 705 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: but to keep us in a certain space. 706 00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 7: Right. 707 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 2: I don't know who's watched these documentaries like What the 708 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 2: Health and things like that, but I think it was 709 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 2: in the nineteen fifties when Big Tobacco was facing a 710 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 2: lot of litigation because people are getting addicted to tobacco, 711 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,320 Speaker 2: and because Big Tobacco was under fire, they went and 712 00:32:24,360 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 2: got in bed with not the Drug Administration, but the 713 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 2: Food Administration. So now they created the same addicting qualities 714 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,560 Speaker 2: and put it in the food and now they're starting. 715 00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 1: If you read it up on it, it's like FDA. 716 00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: Approves lab grown salmon now to be sold in restaurants, 717 00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,920 Speaker 2: attributed and distributed in America.

We were never supposed to 766 00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:01,880 Speaker 2: rely on the government for our health. That's on us, 767 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,040 Speaker 2: you know, and that's on us to teach our kids better. 768 00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 2: You know, if you start these practices now, you'll be 769 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,160 Speaker 2: surprised how your children because I see it with my 770 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: four children.

Do you know why so 776 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,720 Speaker 1: many people are hungry. 777 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: We've become a sedentary community where we're inside often, and 778 00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:34,080 Speaker 2: the nutrients we get from the sun, we don't get them, 779 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,160 Speaker 2: so our body's looking for them. So now we try 780 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,719 Speaker 2: to eat them, and we overeat because we're not outside. 781 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,480 Speaker 1: We have to get outside and move. It doesn't matter 782 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,680 Speaker 1: if it's the wintertime. 783 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,919 Speaker 2: Put a hat on, put a coat on, and walk 784 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 2: for thirty minutes.

Go outside and walk. If you 855 00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:52,960 Speaker 2: have a hell even better, go outside and walk up 856 00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 2: the hill. Start doing that every single day. And if 857 00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,600 Speaker 2: it's if it's a nice climate, take your hat off, 858 00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,680 Speaker 2: take your shirt off, walk outside and get as much 859 00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 2: sun as the possible. I promise you not only will 860 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,839 Speaker 2: you just feel better because the sun will be on you, 861 00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:08,880 Speaker 2: but I forgot what it's called in your brain. 862 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 1: It's escaping me right now. Dope. 863 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 2: Dopamine is a dopamine hit when you work out and 864 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,840 Speaker 2: you just feel better. So you asked about what you 865 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 2: can start that's going to help you get super charged 866 00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,440 Speaker 2: to do that, Start walking outside in the sun, and 867 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: when you feel that dopamine hit afterwards, it's gonna be 868 00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 2: like I can't wait for tomorrow to get my walk in. 869 00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,200 Speaker 2: Then if you add that to some heavy weights. 870 00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,439 Speaker 1: Which don't got to be super heavy. 871 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,040 Speaker 2: If you got like a twenty five pound plate anything, 872 00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,719 Speaker 2: and you hold it and you do squats with shoulder press. 873 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,560 Speaker 2: The dopamine hit is gonna be like I can't wait 874 00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:41,760 Speaker 2: for tomorrow, and then before you know it, my lifestyle 875 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,960 Speaker 2: has become. That's why I think people in La to 876 00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:48,319 Speaker 2: be honest, look better. I don't think it's because it's 877 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,240 Speaker 2: the plastic city. 878 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: I don't. 879 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,520 Speaker 4: I really think Miami is the same thing. 880 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 1: That's what I was going to say. 881 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,600 Speaker 4: A lot of people in Miami look fairly healthy. 882 00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 5: Because you can be outside every day. 883 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 4: Yeah I don't have a treadmill. Okay, well you got heels. Yeah, 884 00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,880 Speaker 4: you got a running cannon or hikes. 885 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:04,520 Speaker 3: You know. 886 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:05,439 Speaker 4: I think my one thing. 887 00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:09,280 Speaker 3: Would be cut the sugar man. Cut the sugar. Sugar 888 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,200 Speaker 3: in the brain is dementia. Sugar in the blood is diabetes. 889 00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:21,000 Speaker 3: Sugar in the skin aging. Cut the sugar. Yeah, as 890 00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 3: much as you can, I mean, and you have to 891 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,520 Speaker 3: understand it's not just refined sugars. There's also the processed sugars. 892 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 3: There's the carbohydrates that break. 893 00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:29,960 Speaker 4: Down into sugar. 894 00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 3: You know, you go to your local western end restaurant, 895 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:34,680 Speaker 3: they're going to bag you up with one set of 896 00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,920 Speaker 3: rice and gravy, and then the protein is at a 897 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 3: minimum and it needs to be reversed. We need to 898 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,439 Speaker 3: have an abundance of protein, and then yeah, barely any 899 00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 3: you know, barely any steam cabbage. So I would just 900 00:40:46,920 --> 00:40:48,880 Speaker 3: say that cut the sugar off, because once you do that, 901 00:40:48,920 --> 00:40:51,640 Speaker 3: you'll notice so much, so much of a difference between 902 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,120 Speaker 3: the way you feel. It's going to be hard in 903 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,600 Speaker 3: the beginning because your body will probably crave it. It's literally 904 00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,759 Speaker 3: an addiction that you have. But if you're able to 905 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 3: cut it and curb it, you'll realize that you don't 906 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,160 Speaker 3: even want it anymore. Things are going to be too sweet, 907 00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 3: Like I can't even I used to be able to 908 00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:06,719 Speaker 3: down a can of gingerrell or coke easily. Now I 909 00:41:06,760 --> 00:41:08,600 Speaker 3: take maybe a sip if I want a little taste 910 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:10,960 Speaker 3: for something, But I stick to water all day fast. 911 00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 7: That's me a lot of stuff, apple juice, orange juice. 912 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 7: I'll dilute it with water. Yeah, probably ten juice. Water. 913 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:20,960 Speaker 1: I can't drink the same way we saw it with 914 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:21,520 Speaker 1: the kids. 915 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:24,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't drink. I haven't drank soda really in 916 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 5: a long time. That's the one thing, because you know, 917 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,839 Speaker 5: sometimes you can't cut all the sugar. You gotta cut 918 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,920 Speaker 5: cut one thing. You can get so I cut soda 919 00:41:30,920 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 5: a long time ago, but sometimes I crave like a pepsi, 920 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,120 Speaker 5: like if I especially if I was drinking the night before. 921 00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 5: So my birthday weekend, I got drunkie. Yeah, and then 922 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 5: I was like with my friends who came in town, 923 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 5: and I was like, I'm about to stop at the 924 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,640 Speaker 5: store and get a pepsi and they shamed me so. 925 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:50,719 Speaker 1: Bad that I didn't. 926 00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 5: I didn't even get to have that pepsi. So, yeah, 927 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,040 Speaker 5: get you some friends that will shame you out of 928 00:41:57,480 --> 00:42:00,919 Speaker 5: having a sugary drink. Is given accountability, but that's that's 929 00:42:00,960 --> 00:42:04,440 Speaker 5: not my resource. I think it's people. So when you're 930 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 5: talking about lifestyle changes, when you talk about eating healthier, 931 00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:13,080 Speaker 5: the Value said something earlier that was like, basically, we don't. 932 00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,439 Speaker 5: People don't eat to live. You know, you were saying 933 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,439 Speaker 5: you don't always have to eat, like that's you eat 934 00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 5: to live. We don't do that. We have a culture 935 00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,120 Speaker 5: of living to eat. We like to eat. We want 936 00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,480 Speaker 5: something that tastes good, we want it to look good. 937 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 5: We wanted to be savory and succulent, like the meat 938 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:37,719 Speaker 5: that what's his name fed Geneva. Yes, I think it's 939 00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,960 Speaker 5: important to understand that you can do that with healthier foods, 940 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:42,319 Speaker 5: And one way you can do that is just by 941 00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 5: exploring new recipes. I love making a new recipe and 942 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:49,760 Speaker 5: I use a meal planner called twenty two Days Nutrition 943 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,319 Speaker 5: inspired by Beyonce. It's the famous meal planner that she 944 00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 5: uses vegan, that she used before Coachella and everything is vegan. 945 00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:01,799 Speaker 5: And I've tried so many different recipes from this meal 946 00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:03,200 Speaker 5: planner and they're all good. 947 00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 6: Are they really good? 948 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:04,680 Speaker 5: They're really good. 949 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,000 Speaker 3: I want to get I want to learn how to 950 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,560 Speaker 3: like cook mushrooms more, and you know, things that are 951 00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 3: easily not easily accessible, but things that are more but 952 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:14,799 Speaker 3: not meat essentially, like if I went because for me, 953 00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,800 Speaker 3: chicken is a trigger, I can have it in moderation, 954 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 3: so I want to find like a substitute for that 955 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,439 Speaker 3: as I like kind of transition out of eating certain things. 956 00:43:21,440 --> 00:43:24,440 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think twenty Today's Nutrition is like twenty 957 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 5: five dollars a quarter, So that's like what ten dollars 958 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,120 Speaker 5: twelve dollars a month, but you only get charged every 959 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:35,040 Speaker 5: quarter and it's like unlimited recipes. It's super helpful and 960 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:39,239 Speaker 5: it helps me to eat more vegetables because I would 961 00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 5: just cook vegan meals at home, or I would use 962 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:44,200 Speaker 5: some of those vegan meals for like breakfast or just 963 00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:47,600 Speaker 5: lunch vegan or whatever. So I was eating more vegetables, 964 00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:50,239 Speaker 5: trying more vegetables, figuring out that I like other types 965 00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 5: of vegetables, and then being able to expand my palate 966 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:53,239 Speaker 5: that way. 967 00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:55,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of it is retraining your palate. 968 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, spage of time getting into don't jump into 969 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,279 Speaker 7: all these diet fasts as well. Yeah, a lot of 970 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,239 Speaker 7: people burn out. I want to make the change, then 971 00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:06,120 Speaker 7: they try to do like a South it's not sustainable. Yeah, 972 00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 7: you do all of that right away into the cold turkey. 973 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 7: It's like your body. 974 00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:15,360 Speaker 2: And we all grew up on highly saturated foods with 975 00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 2: salt and sugar because you know, historically that's what families 976 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 2: needed to survive. I remember my family, like they're from 977 00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,040 Speaker 2: the South, and no matter what it was, you put 978 00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:26,960 Speaker 2: pork in it, and you put sugar in it, and 979 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:31,400 Speaker 2: you put salt in it. It met collar greens, stringbands, cabbage. 980 00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 2: I mean we had cabbage and you would put a 981 00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:35,480 Speaker 2: slice of bacon in there. We would put some syrup 982 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,560 Speaker 2: on it with corn bread, and now that I think 983 00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,239 Speaker 2: about it, we grew up during the time where our 984 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:42,480 Speaker 2: ancestors didn't have much, so they. 985 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 1: Had to make it taste good. 986 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,680 Speaker 2: Like chillens is not something you're supposed to eat off 987 00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 2: of a pig, but we had. 988 00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,400 Speaker 7: That's all they gave us. 989 00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,919 Speaker 2: That's not something you're supposed to eat off of a cow, 990 00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:55,560 Speaker 2: but we had to make it work. Now it's a delicacy, 991 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,520 Speaker 2: but I still also requires a lot of salt, a 992 00:44:58,520 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 2: lot of sugar. 993 00:44:59,080 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 1: You got to mix up the green. 994 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 4: I'm still dear, dear, dear, dear dear. It's about sixteen pound. 995 00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 3: Last time I saw, I said, okay, lord, you know 996 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,439 Speaker 3: I'm not supposed to have beef nohouse, so you made 997 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,200 Speaker 3: the super expensive. 998 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 4: Yes, the one thing that's non negotiable. I'm gonna eat some. 999 00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,440 Speaker 1: We're not going to sit here and act like we 1000 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: holy than that. 1001 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,600 Speaker 4: Because I am not the pillar of We're gonna get. 1002 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:21,359 Speaker 1: Some biscuits at night. 1003 00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 6: All that. 1004 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: We're gonna playing biscuits and spades, curry mutton. 1005 00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:25,920 Speaker 3: Like. 1006 00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 1: That's what we're trying to tell y'all. Like, you don't 1007 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: have to go eat no moderation, balance, you know, but 1008 00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:33,040 Speaker 1: take care of yourself consistent. 1009 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:37,239 Speaker 8: The most important thing I think is understanding what you're eating, yes, 1010 00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 8: and and not be ignorant to what you're putting your route. 1011 00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:46,840 Speaker 8: Like I've learned pause waiting for the moment. But I've 1012 00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:51,319 Speaker 8: been so proactively conscious in what I've eaten over the 1013 00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 8: past few years because I've trained my social media to 1014 00:45:55,920 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 8: also include the foods and educate myself on that better. 1015 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 2: Because of seriously though, like your skin looks better people 1016 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,480 Speaker 2: watching you lost weight in your face. 1017 00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:08,759 Speaker 8: And I think part of it is just like not 1018 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,279 Speaker 8: being ignorant to what I'm actually eating, but just taking 1019 00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:13,880 Speaker 8: the steps to learn that and then coupling that with 1020 00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,160 Speaker 8: the exercise. If you don't, if you're not conscious of 1021 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:19,720 Speaker 8: what you're eating. One suggestion I have is a Yuca app. 1022 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 8: It's changed everything. 1023 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:23,759 Speaker 5: Likes it. 1024 00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 8: If you when you go to the grocery store and 1025 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,480 Speaker 8: scan what you're eating, and you'll see that every single 1026 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 8: thing that they're giving us is bad for They'll tell 1027 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:37,239 Speaker 8: you specifically what is in the app, So what is 1028 00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 8: in the food, what preservatives they use, the health benefits 1029 00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 8: the lack thereof with the symptoms of are some of 1030 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,440 Speaker 8: the chemicals that they're giving us. I mean, we're eating 1031 00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:50,480 Speaker 8: as ADHD prone food food all the time. We're eating 1032 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:53,439 Speaker 8: food that is bad for our gut all the time. 1033 00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:56,279 Speaker 8: We're eating food that's going to make us depressed all 1034 00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 8: the time.

So I think 1039 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:13,440 Speaker 8: every single thing that they're giving us is they're trying 1040 00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:14,280 Speaker 8: to kill us. 1041 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,600 Speaker 1: They're literally trying too based. 1042 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,680 Speaker 8: They're trying to get our money, but in the process 1043 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,840 Speaker 8: of it, process of it, they're trying to kill ourself.

Because the truth 1105 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:23,000 Speaker 2: of the matter is when you put chemicals on your 1106 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 2: skin and then baking the sun, now you're baking chemicals 1107 00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 2: through your body. 1108 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:30,000 Speaker 1: You drink alcohol sitting and baking the sun like. 1109 00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:30,600 Speaker 4: You're on vacation. 1110 00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:32,920 Speaker 3: You're drinking your little peanut colata with running it probably, 1111 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 3: then your spring suntan lotion or spray on your body, 1112 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:37,400 Speaker 3: and then you're sitting in the sun put. 1113 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,920 Speaker 1: A mosquito repellent on you. 1114 00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:42,840 Speaker 2: It's yes, right, that too, and eating processed meats and 1115 00:50:42,920 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 2: the same You're doing all of this stuff to your 1116 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,880 Speaker 2: body and saying that the sun is giving you cancer 1117 00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 2: it's not, and expecting your body to be able to 1118 00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:50,800 Speaker 2: fight off. 1119 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,480 Speaker 8: All this stuff all at the same time, it's taxing 1120 00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,040 Speaker 8: on yourself. 1121 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,560 Speaker 5: It's so true. I would say I would people to 1122 00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:02,840 Speaker 5: understand the correlation but tween the skin cancer and sunscreen, 1123 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:06,000 Speaker 5: because I think too, there are other things that happened 1124 00:51:06,160 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 5: after nineteen thirty six that made people more exposed to 1125 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:10,800 Speaker 5: the sun, more exposed to diet. 1126 00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, the environmental change. 1127 00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,600 Speaker 5: This may not be the sunscreen, and there's different types 1128 00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 5: of sunscreen. There's mineral sunscreen that is not chemical. There's 1129 00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 5: chemical sunscreen.

I've been watching you 1185 00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:01,400 Speaker 3: guys since the BK days. 1186 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:03,000 Speaker 4: Thank you so much. 1187 00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 3: Man. 1188 00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:04,240 Speaker 4: We love our day Once. 1189 00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 3: So, my question surrounds overgiving. My question surrounds overgiving in relationships. 1190 00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:17,600 Speaker 3: I recently started holding my friends and love interests accountable 1191 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:20,480 Speaker 3: for how they treat me. Historically, I've been the type 1192 00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:24,000 Speaker 3: to perform to keep people around, and I've shrunk myself. 1193 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,120 Speaker 4: For decades so that others wouldn't. 1194 00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,279 Speaker 3: See me as a threat. I have many talents a 1195 00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,520 Speaker 3: conventional beauty. I've often hidden both because to keep people 1196 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,160 Speaker 3: around me happy. I'm turning thirty one next month, and 1197 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 3: I'm tired, as you should be. My parents and siblings 1198 00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 3: have always made me reduce myself to serve them. I 1199 00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:45,640 Speaker 3: come from a domestic and substance abuse household, and I've 1200 00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,160 Speaker 3: carried this into my relationships. But enough is enough now 1201 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,520 Speaker 3: that I'm on my healing journey, I feel selfish for 1202 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:54,480 Speaker 3: choosing me. I recently asked two people closest to me 1203 00:54:54,560 --> 00:54:57,200 Speaker 3: to show up for me. Both relationships have ended because 1204 00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:00,520 Speaker 3: of it. One friend hasn't visited me in LA she 1205 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:02,719 Speaker 3: lives in New York for over ten years, despite me 1206 00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,560 Speaker 3: sending thousands of dollars I didn't have on flights to 1207 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:10,880 Speaker 3: visit her over the years. Another only calls when they 1208 00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,360 Speaker 3: need something, Otherwise they don't check in or answer the phone. 1209 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 3: I feel stretched thin. I recently asked both show up 1210 00:55:18,520 --> 00:55:21,520 Speaker 3: for me with presents, and I was shocked when they 1211 00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,520 Speaker 3: severed ties. My friend from New York literally canceled her 1212 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,320 Speaker 3: trip to visit me on my birthday once I mentioned 1213 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,400 Speaker 3: to her that she hadn't been showing up for me 1214 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,000 Speaker 3: for years. Mind you, this was after a reschedule in 1215 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:37,160 Speaker 3: my PTO. Oh, she had to reschedule Okay, paid time off, 1216 00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 3: cancel plans, and agreed to host her second two year old. 1217 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,640 Speaker 3: Who oh, she was gonna bring her two year old 1218 00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,239 Speaker 3: who she never even asked if she could bring the 1219 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,920 Speaker 3: other ghosted me once I stopped reaching out. Maybe I 1220 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 3: shouldn't have mentioned to my friends my growing resentment before 1221 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:56,080 Speaker 3: she came to visit. She's always been no fuss when 1222 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,680 Speaker 3: I visited, but the visits have always been on her terms. 1223 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,480 Speaker 3: She didn't ask me much about birthday plans and said 1224 00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,279 Speaker 3: I had too many expectations when confronting her about overlooking 1225 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 3: my birthday? Am I doing something wrong? My circle's getting 1226 00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,120 Speaker 3: smaller and smaller, and I wonder if the way I'm 1227 00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 3: going about caring for myself is selfish. I want community, 1228 00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:19,200 Speaker 3: but it just seems like community doesn't want me. I 1229 00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:22,440 Speaker 3: work in film and tech, so I know these communities exist. 1230 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 3: But to be honest, I'm a little too jaded to 1231 00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,440 Speaker 3: even try anymore. Help us us out bitter but better. 1232 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, she handled that all room? 1233 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:33,359 Speaker 4: What did you say? 1234 00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 1: She handled that all wrong? Yeah? 1235 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:38,000 Speaker 2: Okay us because for decades she performed in a way 1236 00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,759 Speaker 2: that she thought people wanted her to perform to appease them. 1237 00:56:41,040 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 2: So what she did was trained people I was about 1238 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,120 Speaker 2: to treat them the way to treat her. I wanted 1239 00:56:46,160 --> 00:56:47,880 Speaker 2: to treat her the way they wanted to treat her, 1240 00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,160 Speaker 2: and the minute she changed, they were honest and said, okay, 1241 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:50,880 Speaker 2: I don't want to do this. 1242 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:52,920 Speaker 1: You can't hold that against them. Miss. 1243 00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:56,360 Speaker 2: They are showing you who they are. You bit the bullet, 1244 00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 2: and you were honest, and they showed you how they 1245 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:00,399 Speaker 2: want to treat you. So now you move that over 1246 00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 2: and now you create a community with people who are 1247 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,719 Speaker 2: going to see you the way you want to be 1248 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 2: treated from the very beginning. 1249 00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's starting from scratch, right. 1250 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:09,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the only thing she did wrong was expecting 1251 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 2: them to treat her differently after she performed for ten years. 1252 00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 2: You created that monster, you andable. Yeah, and now that 1253 00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 2: they are being honest with how they want to treat you, 1254 00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,720 Speaker 2: just accepted. Don't feel bad. But now you know that 1255 00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:24,280 Speaker 2: they weren't really friends for you. They were there for 1256 00:57:24,360 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 2: what they could get from you. And that's okay because 1257 00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:27,440 Speaker 2: you don't have to deal with that anymore. 1258 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, they were friends with your representative. 1259 00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, whoever you were showing up for or as in 1260 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,320 Speaker 3: that friendship is who they thought they were getting. And 1261 00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:35,720 Speaker 3: the minute that you said, you know what, that's not 1262 00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,960 Speaker 3: really me. You can't fault them for kind of being 1263 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,080 Speaker 3: a bit jaded because they're like, wait a second, you're 1264 00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:42,120 Speaker 3: not the same person that we thought you were. Yeah, 1265 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 3: and these are just not your people at this point. 1266 00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,040 Speaker 3: And people are also seasonal, like not all friends are 1267 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,120 Speaker 3: going to be with you for your entire life. You 1268 00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 3: realize that people are around for a season and then 1269 00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 3: you can move on. 1270 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:56,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, she said she comes from a domestic and subs 1271 00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 5: abuse household, which has probably made her hyper vigilance over time, 1272 00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:03,040 Speaker 5: which means that she's doing whatever she can to keep 1273 00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:07,440 Speaker 5: people in a good mood. Yeah, happy people pleaser probably, yes. 1274 00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,760 Speaker 5: And yeah, you don't really make really good community as 1275 00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,200 Speaker 5: a people pleaser. You make community with users. 1276 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:13,760 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1277 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:14,440 Speaker 4: Absolutely. 1278 00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,400 Speaker 5: And also I think to your your other friends has 1279 00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:19,800 Speaker 5: a two year old, so it sounds like she's prioritizing 1280 00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 5: something else for herself that doesn't really align with what 1281 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,920 Speaker 5: is going on in your life. So it's okay to 1282 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:28,120 Speaker 5: get some new friends in La. Yeah, there's there's plenty 1283 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,360 Speaker 5: of people around you that you can make new and 1284 00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 5: really good friends with. It's not too late to make 1285 00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:34,920 Speaker 5: great friends in your thirties. 1286 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 3: Where you don't have to shrink and be a version 1287 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,440 Speaker 3: of yourself that is dumbed down, Like go out there 1288 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 3: and be great.

I also want to see what she looked like, 1292 00:58:47,600 --> 00:58:49,840 Speaker 5: because she was like, you know, I got my shit together, 1293 00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,200 Speaker 5: I'm real cute, conventional beauty. 1294 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,880 Speaker 1: That what you said, though, was true. She comes from 1295 00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 1: the household. That household. 1296 00:59:00,880 --> 00:59:03,440 Speaker 2: She probably had the people please to stay safe.

I think about my children, who, as I 1322 01:00:12,680 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 3: grow older, will then have to eventually one day not 1323 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 3: take care of me per se. 1324 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,720 Speaker 4: But I don't want them to have to. 1325 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,880 Speaker 3: Be inconvenience taking care of me because I didn't do 1326 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 3: my part while I was able to then take care 1327 01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:27,760 Speaker 3: of myself and be a better healthy version as I 1328 01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 3: get older, so they're not I'm not relying on my 1329 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:32,280 Speaker 3: children or my family to have to take care of me. 1330 01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:34,280 Speaker 2: I'm gonna piggyback off of what you said, you only 1331 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 2: get one body. In other parts of the world, people 1332 01:00:36,800 --> 01:00:39,760 Speaker 2: live to ninety years old and they're functional and they're 1333 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:42,720 Speaker 2: mobile and they're healthy and they're moving around. But in 1334 01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,520 Speaker 2: America here we reach to forty and everyone acts like 1335 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 2: you can't do anything anymore. That's not a fact. Be 1336 01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:51,200 Speaker 2: careful what you put in your body. Move your body 1337 01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,640 Speaker 2: and love it the way you love them cars that 1338 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:58,760 Speaker 2: house them, clothes, them, shoes, love yourself them, brunches. Love 1339 01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 2: yourself the way you love those two real things. 1340 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 7: That's health, baby, Yolo, you only live ones same concept, 1341 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 7: but the opposite. 1342 01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:09,520 Speaker 1: I get it. That is very true. 1343 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:12,400 Speaker 8: Do your research, man, They trying to kill us out here, 1344 01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,640 Speaker 8: so say yourself facts, Josh. 1345 01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:19,880 Speaker 1: Eisen, look the truth. 1346 01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:24,200 Speaker 5: Yeah. I was talking to my friend during my birthday weekend. 1347 01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:26,080 Speaker 5: She came down from Cincinnati, and she was saying, how 1348 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,000 Speaker 5: we grew up as black women. We grew up not 1349 01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,800 Speaker 5: really seeing black women like work out just for fun 1350 01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 5: and like take care of their bodies like black women 1351 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 5: are had historically been just forced to hustle, to be stressed, 1352 01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,400 Speaker 5: to like do what they have to do, not what 1353 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,800 Speaker 5: they want to do. And so it's really great that 1354 01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,360 Speaker 5: we can have this space as black people to like 1355 01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:48,880 Speaker 5: normalize especially black women, because men are like always into 1356 01:01:48,880 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 5: sports and movement, but women are, you know, supposed to 1357 01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,600 Speaker 5: be domesticating and shit. So seeing Caneen in the gym 1358 01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 5: and seeing her body transform and being on the fourth floor, 1359 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:02,000 Speaker 5: as she would say, it is very inspiring to be. Like, Okay, 1360 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,280 Speaker 5: once you turn forty on got to be you know, 1361 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 5: whatever your body gives you, you can actually give back 1362 01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 5: to yourself at that age. So I worked out this morning. 1363 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:19,920 Speaker 1: A last time, but. 1364 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:21,120 Speaker 6: We'll try to do it again. 1365 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you should. Didn't you feel good though? 1366 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:23,439 Speaker 3: After? 1367 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, I've been working out. I've been backing in gym 1368 01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:26,240 Speaker 5: for like two weeks. 1369 01:02:26,280 --> 01:02:26,520 Speaker 8: Good. 1370 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 5: My moment of truth is I feel skinnier already period period. 1371 01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:36,960 Speaker 5: But yeah, it does feel really good.

If you're 1376 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,960 Speaker 2: relying on pharmaceuticals to change it, then you're going to 1377 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:57,320 Speaker 2: have longer term health issuesercussions. 1378 01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:56,040 Speaker 7: On the back end. 1379 01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:01,480 Speaker 3: Y Yeah, all right, y'all.
