The website and Instagram is probably my most used platform. 120 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: We also do YouTube and all that good stuff. 121 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: All that good stuff. Yeah, content creation. Is it something 122 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 2: that you always thought you'd want to be doing this 123 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 2: much of? 124 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 3: Well? 125 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 4: No, the word content creation is very abstract to me, 126 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 4: and it's something that I'd say only now, like four 127 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 4: years into this, I'm really starting to own. I'm a 128 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 4: registered dietitian and I went to school for a very 129 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 4: long time and went through a lot of hurdles to 130 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 4: earn this degree, and so my focus has always been 131 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 4: sort of on my business as a nutritionist. Instagram was 132 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 4: kind of blossoming at the same time as my business, 133 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 4: so I sort of accidentally became a blogger, if you will, 134 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 4: at the same time. And I didn't really prioritize the 135 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 4: digital side of my business until really about the past year. 136 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: And for a long time, actually, I shied away from 137 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 4: the word influencer because I thought that it was, you know, 138 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 4: not what I worked to be, and I thought that 139 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: it was taking away from what I worked so hard 140 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 4: to do as a registered dietitian. But that was really 141 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 4: just an ego thing that I'm happy to admit. And 142 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 4: I'm really happy to call myself an influencer as long 143 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 4: as I am influencing in a way that is positive. Yeah, 144 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: and there's a lot of crap out there, So I 145 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 4: take my role as a role model. That's like, really 146 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 4: what an influencer means to me very seriously, And as 147 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 4: long as I'm making myself proud, then I'm proud to 148 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 4: be doing that. 149 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 3: You can call me whatever the heck you want. 150 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 1: You can call me whatever you want, all right. 151 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: I do need a tippit of advice before we really 152 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 2: jump into this, and this is you putting your RD 153 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 2: hat on. I wake up in the morning, I feel 154 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: so bloated as I do right now? What is the 155 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 2: thing that I should do first and foremost? So I 156 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 2: just don't feel like this way for my entire day. 157 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 4: Well, I think that that goes back to kind of 158 00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 4: what happened before. So why are you waking up loaded? 159 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: Man? 160 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 2: I woke uploaded because I had this really great meal 161 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 2: last night that I sleeved over in the kitchen and 162 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 2: I made steak and it was delicious. But I woke 163 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: up and I admittedly, I will say that I have 164 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 2: done a little precautionary work already in that when I 165 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 2: wake up, I shake up athletic greens. So I feel 166 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: like getting the greens in the water and the nutrients 167 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 2: and all that stuff is good for me. 168 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 1: But what else can I kind of do to beat 169 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: that feeling? When I have this. 170 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 4: I was going to say that the as boring as 171 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 4: it sounds, and I went to school for a very 172 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: long time, the best things we can do are oftentimes 173 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 4: the simplest. 174 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 3: Things we can do. 175 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, and the body wants to regulate, but forcing it 176 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 4: to regulate is never going to lead to where you 177 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: wanted to. So getting a good night's rest is really 178 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 4: really important, especially if you are fighting some sort of 179 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: an inflammation response. And then the most important thing you 180 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: can do is water, water, water, water, and water. Like 181 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 4: I swear by sixteen to twenty ounces of water first 182 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 4: thing in the morning. 183 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: Because you need to wake up your digestive system. 184 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 4: You had a heavy email last night, it sounds like 185 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 4: it needs a little bit more. 186 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 3: Time to digest. 187 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 4: You want to get that water in let your body 188 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: know that you're awake, so that your metabolism goes from 189 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 4: sleep mode to on mode. And I don't mean metabolism 190 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: in terms of like just like calorie burn, like when 191 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 4: we sometimes hear that word. Your metabolism means your systems 192 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 4: are like on and working, so everything's communicating really fast, 193 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: and water is the best thing we can do to 194 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,679 Speaker 4: regulate that. Go to the bathroom, whether that's your nation 195 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: or whatever, and really start to listen to your body. 196 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,839 Speaker 4: And if you may be necessary, if you always have 197 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 4: breakfast at the same time, maybe pause for a second 198 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 4: ask yourself, what is my body telling me. 199 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 3: I also just want to caution that bloat is something. 200 00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: That we talk about so much that everybody thinks that 201 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: they're bloated. I'd say, of course, there is a population 202 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 4: that is bloated when they say that, but I feel 203 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 4: like it's just something that we say all the time 204 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 4: and it might not necessarily be true. So having food 205 00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 4: in your stomach is not necessarily bloating. But if you 206 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:16,560 Speaker 4: are uncomfortable or there's something like that, that's sort of 207 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,400 Speaker 4: a different situation. 208 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 2: We have so much to learn today. I'm into this, okay, 209 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: So let's rewind it back. Have you always been really 210 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 2: interested in food? 211 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've always been interested in nutrition. I should say 212 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 4: I wanted to do my undergrad in nutrition, but when 213 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 4: I learned about all the difficult science classes that it 214 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 4: would take to become a nutritionist, I was like, I 215 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: want to have fun in college, not be taking organic 216 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 4: chemistry and biokem. So I shied away from that in 217 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 4: undergrad and towards the end of my undergrad undergraduate degree, 218 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 4: I asked. 219 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 3: Myself, you know, what do you want to do when 220 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 3: this is all over? 221 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 4: And nutrition was still like in my mind, So I 222 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 4: made a mental switch to start moving in that direction 223 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:11,559 Speaker 4: for grad school. And I think that it's really important 224 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 4: to recognize that, like the things that you think that 225 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: you're not good at can oftentimes be old stories that 226 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 4: you're telling yourself. So for me, I was really bad 227 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 4: at chemistry in high school, to the point where I 228 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 4: did not think that I could pass it in college 229 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 4: because I couldn't pass it in high school. But as 230 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: a young adult in my early twenties, I was fully 231 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: capable of learning chemistry because I also it was an 232 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,440 Speaker 4: end to a means, you know, I had to do 233 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 4: this to get there and my brain had matured, I 234 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 4: had learned how to study. There were all these things 235 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: kind of working for me, and I was willing to 236 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:43,079 Speaker 4: do the work. So I think that there's a lot 237 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 4: of career changes that think that they can't do whatever 238 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 4: is required to change careers. But I truly think that 239 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: you can. And it's really important to shake those old 240 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: stories whenever you say I can't do that, I can't 241 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: do that. Of course, it's important to know your limitations 242 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 4: as well, but a lot of these things are just 243 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,559 Speaker 4: things that we tell ourselves. 244 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 2: I also think that it comes with this intimidation factor, right, 245 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 2: It's like I've been doing things this way for so long, 246 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:11,719 Speaker 2: So to change from that standard path that you've been 247 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: on and say. 248 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: You know what, this is what I really want? 249 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 2: Well, yeah, recognizing that as the first step, but then 250 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 2: the next step, all of this change and all this uncertainty. 251 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: It totally like discourages the people that just aren't up 252 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 2: for the challenge. 253 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: I agree with that aren. 254 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 2: Up for the challenge. Okay, So always interested in nutrition? 255 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: Where did you grow up? 256 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 4: I grew up in New York, Long Island, and I 257 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: say always into nutrition. But that's what I thought, sort 258 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: of at the time. Looking back, it's kind of very 259 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 4: clear that I was interested in the science. I love 260 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 4: the science of the body, but I was looking for 261 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: a better way to manipulate and control my body and 262 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 4: understand it from a wiser, more scientific point of view, right. 263 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: And I was very driven by that because it's fascinating 264 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 4: and when you think that you know the answers, you 265 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: think that you can have more control over the person 266 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 4: next to. 267 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 2: You, right right, Okay, so you where do you do 268 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: your undergraduate University of Miami And where do you do 269 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 2: your graduate. 270 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 3: Columbia University here in New York? 271 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 1: Here in New York. 272 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So from the moment that you sit down in 273 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 2: that first Columbia class, are you like, Wow, this is 274 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 2: one hundred I'm doing exact right thing. 275 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: This is it. I've made no mistakes. 276 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 2: No. 277 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: The you know. 278 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 4: I was talking to my mother in law about it yesterday. 279 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,400 Speaker 4: It's like, if you love something, the quickest way to 280 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 4: not love it is to go to school for it, 281 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 4: you know, or to make it your career. Like sometimes 282 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 4: you need to separate passion and career. 283 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 3: But really, what I found from. 284 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 4: Formal education, specifically the path to becoming a registered Dietitian 285 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: is like a lot of what I loved about nutrition 286 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: I didn't learn about in school. I want to you know, 287 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 4: school is so evident space, and they're very quick to, 288 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: you know, kind of dismiss anything that is anecdotal or 289 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 4: worked for one person. And being a lot of years 290 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 4: out of school at this point, I think that we 291 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:18,680 Speaker 4: really discredit a lot of like more holistic approaches because 292 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 4: it doesn't have this evidence to prove it. And while 293 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 4: I think, you know, that's the gold standard that we 294 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 4: need to uphold when speaking publicly, there's still so many 295 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 4: things that we can do to up level our nutrition, 296 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 4: feel our best that. 297 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: We didn't learn about in school. 298 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 4: Right, So it's almost like we just went so nitty 299 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 4: gritty that we missed out on a lot of stuff. 300 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,920 Speaker 4: But I went to school and my like sub major 301 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 4: was nutrition education, and about a year into it, I 302 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,680 Speaker 4: realized that I was just starting to. 303 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: Really like wake up my own fitness world. 304 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 4: And I was working out really regularly, getting very into 305 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 4: doing things like the Spartan Races, Like it was like 306 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 4: a whole other version of me. 307 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 3: This was like six years ago. I just like love the. 308 00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 4: Way fitness was making me feel and mentally how it 309 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: was making me feel. I felt so awake in my brain, 310 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 4: you know that feeling when you're just like wow, you 311 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 4: know it really it creates a chemical change. And I 312 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 4: was like, why am I not learning about this in school? 313 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,560 Speaker 4: And one of like the little submasters I could get 314 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 4: was with nutrition and exercise physiology, and I made the 315 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 4: change to go into that program, which extended my total 316 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 4: program by about six months to a year because it 317 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 4: was so much more intensive. But doing that was the 318 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 4: best decision I made, because when you understand movement and nutrition, 319 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 4: everything comes together in a completely different way. And I 320 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: just wouldn't have learned so much that I did if 321 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: I didn't make that really important fundamental change. 322 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: And how are you at this point? 323 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you're talking about a love for exercise 324 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 2: and movement, but how were you at this point treating 325 00:15:59,000 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: your body? 326 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 327 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: So the funny thing about all of that, and this 328 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: happens to a lot of us in the industry, is 329 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 4: that what we're learning about becomes our identity, and the 330 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 4: world kind of validates that. So being healthy was becoming 331 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,560 Speaker 4: my identity. You know, I'm in school, I'm studying this, 332 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 4: I'm at Columbia. I'm getting my master's degree, I'm spending 333 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 4: all this money, so everything that I do outside of 334 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 4: school has to match that. 335 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: And so I really like I always talk about this, but. 336 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 4: My Instagram name, and it was before Instagram was really 337 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 4: like a thing. It was just my personal page, but 338 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 4: it was healthy girl Ley, and it like it was 339 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 4: literally my identity. And I was being validated by people 340 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 4: around me that were kind of like applauding me for 341 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 4: doing eating really healthy, looking a certain way, fitness at 342 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: the level that I was, I wouldn't say level, Sorry, 343 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 4: you're a real athlete. Was never a real athlete, but 344 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 4: the commitment, the dedication, the you know, was showing up 345 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 4: every single day. But at the same time, what was 346 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 4: really happening was like I was body checking every single day, 347 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 4: which means going to the mirror and like kind of 348 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: tearing your body apart and being like, okay, why don't 349 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 4: I have abs today? And constantly just like that never 350 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 4: enough mentality. I was developing fear of certain food. So 351 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 4: I remember one time, and this was around like the 352 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 4: clean eating movement, like when it first sort of began, 353 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,520 Speaker 4: and I was like, oh, this makes so much sense, 354 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 4: Like only eat foods with clean ingredients, and if I 355 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 4: ever deviated from that in any way, like I had 356 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: really big, like mental breakdowns. I felt so out of control. 357 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 4: I felt scared as to what it would do to 358 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 4: my body, to my progress, to all that stuff. So 359 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 4: on the outside, it all looked like healthy. You know, Oh, 360 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 4: what's Lisa eating. I'll take what Lisa is eating, you know, 361 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 4: you know all that stuff. But on the inside then 362 00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 4: I didn't know I had a problem. By the way, 363 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 4: this is all hindsight, I. 364 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: Was not being the best version of me. 365 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 4: I was all consumed by thoughts of food and exercise. 366 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: I turned down so many different social things that I 367 00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 4: wanted to be at because I had to get that 368 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,120 Speaker 4: workout in. And it's really confusing because, like I said, 369 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 4: like the workouts make you feel really good, and I 370 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 4: know you have a lot of real athletes listening to this, 371 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 4: and I don't try and take away that. Like it's 372 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 4: sort of figuring out that balance, right, Like working out 373 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 4: can't be the only thing that makes you feel. 374 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,680 Speaker 1: Good, right, I think is how I sort of feel now, definitely, And. 375 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 3: I was terrified to miss the workout. 376 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 4: I went six months without ever taking a day off 377 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 4: that was in college. Actually that pre dates that. Yeah, 378 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 4: And it wasn't like every single day was intense. But 379 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 4: you can become obsessive about anything, and I've kind of 380 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,959 Speaker 4: done that in my past with different things, and at 381 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 4: each step of the journey thinking that I'm free of 382 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 4: where I was in the past, But really I've just 383 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: found different, like obsessive natures to latch onto. 384 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 2: So to unpack this a little bit, first and foremost, 385 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 2: would you say that a bigger Instagram following made this 386 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: obsession to an extent almost amplified. 387 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,239 Speaker 4: So this was a long time ago and it was 388 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 4: like really before like the word influencer existed. But I 389 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 4: will say this, this was I don't know, two thousand 390 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 4: and thirteen. Instagram was probably a year too old, and 391 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 4: you know, it was a lot of followers. If you 392 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040 Speaker 4: had like five thousand followers, it wasn't like how it 393 00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 4: is now, and I think I had like less than 394 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 4: two thousand. But it wasn't like my friends and family. 395 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 4: It was like a fitness world that I had connected with. 396 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 4: And I will say that it it was normalizing a 397 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 4: lot of my behaviors because I, okay, you might not 398 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 4: understand me roommates, but there's a girl out in you know, 399 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: Florida that's just like me. So I've got her and 400 00:19:57,520 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: we're doing it the same way and Okay, you don't 401 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 4: get me, that's fine. That type of sort of thing 402 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:03,480 Speaker 4: was sort of happening. 403 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 2: I think it's so interesting also with this idea of Instagram, 404 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: and Christy Gots talked about this the other day on 405 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Hurdle Moment. It's that we so often reach out to 406 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 2: this larger community. So many people do looking for feedback. 407 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 2: But sometimes you have to gut check yourself and ask 408 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: yourself who your audience is. If you don't know you know, 409 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 2: the girl in Florida and you're looking to her to 410 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: help you make some really big decisions, what about the 411 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:29,320 Speaker 2: people that matter to you. 412 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: Why aren't you leaning on your friends, your family? 413 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 2: What is it that you're scared to tell people that 414 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 2: really know who you are when it comes to your 415 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:38,040 Speaker 2: decision making. 416 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 3: You know, Wow, that's really powerful. 417 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 4: And looking back, I was, Yeah, I was isolating myself. 418 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 4: I was definitely isolating myself and wasn't leaning towards my friends. 419 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 4: And you know, I lost some friends during that time, 420 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 4: I would say, just because my interests were so drastically different. 421 00:20:55,400 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: I wasn't able to also go to the gym and 422 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 4: then also, you know, go to happy hour with them, 423 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 4: which would have been a more balanced lifestyle, whether I 424 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,720 Speaker 4: was drinking or not, just to be socially there. I 425 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 4: felt like my identity was really rooted into that fitness thing, 426 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 4: and who was I if I was going to happy hour? 427 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 3: You know, right? 428 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 4: Right? And that's a silly way to be. You can 429 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 4: be both people, you can evolve, you can let go 430 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 4: of some people in your lives that no longer serve 431 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:26,479 Speaker 4: you or don't maybe appreciate your evolution. But you know, 432 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 4: you don't need to be just one thing. 433 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 1: No, you don't need to be just one thing. 434 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: Okay, So you're struggling a lot with finding balance, and 435 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 2: you're at Columbia and you're doing all the things that 436 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 2: you're trying to literally do it all. So how do 437 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: you kind of deviate from this pattern of unhealthy behavior? 438 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: I think that my I remember one time. 439 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, it's very easy to open up to strangers, 440 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 4: or for me, it's always been very easy to open 441 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,679 Speaker 4: up to strangers, which is why Instagram has always been 442 00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 4: a good outlet for me. I am very easy if 443 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 4: somebody gives me a microphone or you know, a microphone, 444 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 4: so to speak, I'm happy to share anything that's going 445 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 4: on in my mind. But I remember walking home from 446 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,160 Speaker 4: class with a girl from Columbia and something she said 447 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 4: really struck me, and I realized, like, what are you doing, Lisa, 448 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: Like you are in school to be a nutritionist. You 449 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 4: want to help people with food. How are you going 450 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 4: to do that if you're struggling yourself in some way. 451 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 4: I just want to sort of back up and sort 452 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,440 Speaker 4: of just explain. My food issues were really under the 453 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 4: radar because it was I didn't have an eating disorder. 454 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 4: I never restricted to the point of losing weight. I've 455 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: always been thin, and I you know, never made myself 456 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 4: throw up. I didn't fit any of the the key 457 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,280 Speaker 4: characteristics of anorexia or bulimia, so I never thought that 458 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 4: I had a real problem. Now we're talking a lot 459 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 4: about disordered eating, which is like a much different spectrum, 460 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 4: which is one hundred percent what I was going through, 461 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 4: and it was very easy to miss. So I had 462 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 4: to be the one to notice it in myself and 463 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 4: say something is not right. And I started seeing a 464 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 4: therapist in New York for all these different things. And 465 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: I've always been going to therapy my entire life, but 466 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 4: I specifically sought her out because she worked with eating. 467 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 3: And weird situations with eating. 468 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 4: And I wouldn't say all of our sessions were about food, 469 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 4: but it was my safe place to really unpack kind 470 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 4: of like what was I doing. 471 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 3: And I remember one day. 472 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 4: Coming to her and I was telling her about basically 473 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 4: a friend group that I was sort of in that 474 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 4: made me feel really uncomfortable about my food decisions. And 475 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 4: she basically just like looked at me and she was like, well, 476 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: you know what is going on there? And I just 477 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 4: had this like moment where I was like, oh my god, 478 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 4: I really have. 479 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,399 Speaker 3: A situation with food. You know, how do I fix this? 480 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 4: And it's very scary because it's not just like Okay, 481 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 4: don't eat that, you know, eat this food and be 482 00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 4: normal again. It's like who am I if I don't 483 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 4: have that identity? And I only knew at the time 484 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 4: balance as being green juice on Monday and on the weekends, 485 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 4: alcohol and fries and binging, right, And that's not balance. 486 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 4: That's something that I constantly hear about even now, like 487 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 4: people like Okay, I'll get the margarita because balance, like 488 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 4: balance needs to literally check out day in and day out. 489 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 4: It can't be on Monday through Friday. You are a 490 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 4: different person than Sunday. 491 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: On Saturday and Sunday yea. 492 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 4: And balance needs to literally happen every single day. You 493 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 4: need to go to bed feeling balanced, like you took 494 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 4: care of everything mentally and physically for yourself, whether that 495 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 4: means having the cocktail in addition to the fries and 496 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 4: something else, just like it's just not as it's not 497 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 4: a seesaw that goes. 498 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 3: Like up and down. 499 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 4: It really should be level at all times. 500 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: Taking a break from today's episode to give my sponsor 501 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 2: a whoop some love. Now, one of the things that 502 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 2: I find really interesting about the woopstrap is it tracks strain. 503 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 2: And of course this is applicable to your workouts, but 504 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 2: it's also applicable to the rest of your day. So 505 00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 2: if you are the kind of person that has a 506 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,360 Speaker 2: really strenuous job, if you're going in and out of meetings, 507 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:21,760 Speaker 2: that counts, right. 508 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 1: That means that you're putting strain on your body. 509 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: So someone that is standing up, running around from point 510 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 2: A to point B, talking to people, doing things they 511 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: can find similar strain amounts as someone that might just 512 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 2: tackle one hour long workout that's intense and then chill 513 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 2: for the rest of their day. So for me, what 514 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 2: I find really interesting and intriguing about the wopstrap. Yes, 515 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 2: you see it on serious athletes, but it's also helpful 516 00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:51,359 Speaker 2: for the everyday person. It's helpful for all of us 517 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 2: that are just going out trying to be our best, 518 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,919 Speaker 2: to be smart about how we execute, to listen to 519 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 2: our bodies and better perform every single day. 520 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: They are offering hurdle listeners a really awesome deal. 521 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 2: It's a free whoop Strap three point oh as well 522 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 2: as fifteen percent off any of the memberships on the site. 523 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 2: Just head on over to woop dot com that's whoop 524 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,359 Speaker 2: dot com and use the code Hurdle at checkout or 525 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: a free Whoopstrap three point oh and fifteen percent off 526 00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 2: any membership.

But then 530 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 2: what happens in practice to deviate the behavior? 531 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,919 Speaker 4: A lot of that was really on my own, and 532 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: I didn't follow an exact path, but I started to 533 00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 4: challenge myself. And really it's called fearfoods. Is pretty much 534 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 4: when you cut out different foods, you start to develop 535 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 4: a fear of So for me, I had gone vegan 536 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 4: years before that, but I had still carried some fear foods, 537 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 4: meaning like there were foods that I simply was not 538 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 4: eating because I was scared of what like the tiniest 539 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 4: bit of it would do to my body. 540 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 3: So something like cheese and dairy or a big one 541 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 3: for me. 542 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 4: And it's really hard to unpack because those happened to 543 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 4: also be foods that didn't make me feel my best, 544 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 4: But how can I incorporate them in a way that 545 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 4: is just normal? And so I started to be more 546 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 4: normal around food, going to restaurants and instead of you know, oh, 547 00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 4: can I get the salad without this, this, and this, 548 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 4: just ordering the salad. You know, I'm still vegetarian. I've 549 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: been vegetarian for like twelve years, and it's one of 550 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,439 Speaker 4: these questions I get where it's. 551 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,239 Speaker 3: Like, well, is that disordered? You know? 552 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,359 Speaker 4: And I think for some people it can be, just 553 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 4: because veganism for me was a at the time that 554 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 4: I was vegan was a way to map think less 555 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 4: about food. I didn't have to make as many decisions 556 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,679 Speaker 4: if it was like, oh, that has eggs, Okay, I 557 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,240 Speaker 4: can't have it. That has dairy, Okay, I can't have that. 558 00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:02,439 Speaker 4: So vegetarianism for me is really something different. And like 559 00:28:02,520 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 4: I've never the idea of like meat or just fully 560 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 4: met because I eat fish and all those things like 561 00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,199 Speaker 4: just doesn't call to me. But I will say that, 562 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 4: like I try to keep an open mind to the 563 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: fact that like there might be a point in my 564 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 4: life where my body is asking me for meat and 565 00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 4: I need to really really make sure that I listened 566 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 4: to it and evaluate what it means at that point 567 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 4: in time. 568 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So we started to make better food decisions. 569 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:28,919 Speaker 1: And does it. 570 00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: Feel like a weight is lips it off of your 571 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,360 Speaker 2: shoulders or does it feel stressful? Like I can imagine 572 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 2: that these kind of changes would feel really difficult because 573 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: like anything that you're working through again, like with this idea. 574 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:40,880 Speaker 1: Of change, like change is scary. 575 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was never as like linear of a path. 576 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 4: I think at each stage of my life when something 577 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 4: difficult happened, a breakup, a rejection, a failure. I clung 578 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 4: harder to whether that was, you know, this fit version 579 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 4: of myself, So going to the gym and making sure 580 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 4: that I could do ABCD and you or eating really 581 00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 4: clean you know, I kind of just I noticed that 582 00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 4: there were points in my life where I fell back 583 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 4: into that. 584 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So you graduate from Columbia, and do you 585 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,320 Speaker 2: know what you want to do when you're done? Yep. 586 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 3: I wanted to go into private practice immediately. 587 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 588 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 4: I'd been in school for like three years, a dietetic 589 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 4: internship at a year, probably total five years of everything. 590 00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 4: I'm probably twenty six years old, and I want to 591 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 4: be working and I want to make money, and I 592 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 4: want to go into private. 593 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: Practice, right, okay, And so what would your advice be 594 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 2: to someone who has these sorts of aspirations, because I 595 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 2: think that often it's like, oh, I want to have 596 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 2: a private practice, but like, Hi, that's really scary to 597 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,680 Speaker 2: go out on your own, especially at the age of 598 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 2: twenty six. It's like, would you recommend someone jump into 599 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,120 Speaker 2: it like that? Would you recommend that someone find more 600 00:29:49,160 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 2: internship experience? What would you say to them? 601 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd probably say don't jump into it. 602 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 4: I mean, I think that whatever you choose to do 603 00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,520 Speaker 4: will work out. I think everything happens for a reason, 604 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 4: and only like your gut, knows what is best for you. 605 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 4: I'm somebody that knew that I wanted to start working 606 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 4: for myself. I think I could have been a hell 607 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 4: of a lot more strategic when it comes to business, 608 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 4: getting to know my strengths, getting to know what people 609 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 4: need from me. But to that point, I think my 610 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,680 Speaker 4: evolution is really beautiful because it wouldn't have happened if 611 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 4: I didn't go this route. So I opened my practice, 612 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 4: and I you know, I had a social media following, 613 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 4: and I expected my doors to open and everybody to 614 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,240 Speaker 4: come kind of knock me on my door to see me. 615 00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 3: And that's not what I got at all. 616 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 4: I got really not crickets, but you know, not enough 617 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 4: to pay the bills and live happily. And I had 618 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 4: to start really figuring out, you know, what's a more 619 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 4: grassroots method here to get clients, because that's what I 620 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,800 Speaker 4: want to do. And so I literally went knocking on 621 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 4: doors of doctors that I knew and said, Hi, I'm Lisa, 622 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,600 Speaker 4: I'm opening my practice. Will you send me clients and patients? 623 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 4: And then gave my business card. So for the first year, 624 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 4: I was getting all types of clients. You know, I 625 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 4: certainly didn't want to be working with. Sorry, not that 626 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:12,480 Speaker 4: I didn't want to be working with these certain populations 627 00:31:12,520 --> 00:31:14,080 Speaker 4: that I was working with, but it didn't set my 628 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 4: heart on fire to help women from Long Island who 629 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,239 Speaker 4: didn't need to lose weight lose weight? 630 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 3: Does that make sense, right? 631 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: Yeah? What a specific New York issue. 632 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 2: Right, We're sitting in New York City, these women from 633 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 2: Long Island. 634 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 3: Right exactly. 635 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 4: And my office was in Long Island at the time 636 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 4: because I wanted a physical space to really feel like 637 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 4: I had something, and you know, rent in Long Island 638 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 4: was far cheaper than anything I couldn't have done. 639 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: This, yeah, totally. Yeah. So but you didn't want those clients, 640 00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: So then how do you pivot from that? 641 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 4: I didn't want those clients, but I had to pay 642 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:51,959 Speaker 4: my bills, and so I I had a wake up 643 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 4: call one day when I was working out where I 644 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: have a lot of my wake up calls. 645 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:57,200 Speaker 3: Actually, do you feel that way? 646 00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: One percent? 647 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 2: That's I mean, that's why six days a week I'm 648 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,160 Speaker 2: up and doing some sort of fitness at six o'clock 649 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: in the morning. Because I know that when I do that, 650 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 2: I have the opportunity to be better throughout my day. 651 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, the mental clarity is incredible. And I was reading 652 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 4: a book that I have no idea how it landed 653 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 4: on my lap, and as I'm turning the pages, it 654 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:23,560 Speaker 4: felt like it was a book I'm mindful eating. And 655 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 4: as I'm turning the pages, I'm like, this is what 656 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 4: I've been doing. And I didn't even mean to be 657 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 4: doing it. But the woman in the book was talking 658 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 4: about how all of a sudden she was giving herself 659 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 4: permission to eat things like chocolate cake whenever she wanted 660 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 4: and was able to notice that like the chocolate cake 661 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 4: didn't even taste like what she expected it to taste like, 662 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 4: so she was able to. 663 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: Have a bite and move on. 664 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 4: And it was I didn't even recognize that I had 665 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,160 Speaker 4: sort of developed what I now referred to as food freedom. 666 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 4: And a light bulb went off in my brain and said, Okay, 667 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 4: what are we How can you bring this to your population? 668 00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 4: You're not maybe not your current population, but people who 669 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,560 Speaker 4: are struggling with what you struggled with years ago, the 670 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 4: weird food stuff disordered eating, being really hyper controlling about 671 00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 4: how much you eat and thinking that you have this 672 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 4: control over your body, the way that we think that 673 00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 4: we do when we are really intense about our fitness 674 00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 4: or our nutrition. 675 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, Yeah, I know what you mean. 676 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,720 Speaker 2: I also I'm curious before you mentioned, like Lisa one 677 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:34,800 Speaker 2: point zero in terms of your fitness stuff. So what 678 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 2: kind of stuff are you doing now that has like 679 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 2: kind of correlated with the shift and the way that 680 00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 2: you see food. 681 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, my dietetic internship year was a year you 682 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,959 Speaker 4: spend it basically working at the hospital. You get paid nothing, 683 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,160 Speaker 4: you actually pay to do it, and your hours are 684 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,360 Speaker 4: crazy and you have work when you get home, and 685 00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,000 Speaker 4: it is just straight up exhausting. So that entire year 686 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,880 Speaker 4: shook me out of like the exercise routine that I 687 00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:00,880 Speaker 4: was in simply because of time construing. And yeah, we've 688 00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:03,200 Speaker 4: all been parts of our life. I'm sure where fitness 689 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 4: kind of falls to the wayside. But I was, you know, 690 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:09,600 Speaker 4: moving my body just to make sure that I felt good. 691 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,319 Speaker 4: But it was I was going through weeks or two 692 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 4: weeks at a time where I couldn't make it to 693 00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 4: the gym, and so I was starting to just really 694 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,399 Speaker 4: listen to my body and move it to make sure 695 00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 4: that you know, things weren't getting stuck. But I was 696 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 4: not like looking to achieve a certain aesthetic or only 697 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 4: working out to get a calorie burn or something like that. 698 00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so what does that what types of activity? 699 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 1: Does that mean? 700 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 4: Pretty much just been getting in like twenty five minutes 701 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 4: of walking if I could. 702 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's something also that people are 703 00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:44,439 Speaker 2: a little how do I say this the right way? 704 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,680 Speaker 2: I also think that's something that we undervalue often. It's 705 00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 2: just this idea of general movement and how we have 706 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: this idea or this thought process that it can be 707 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:55,759 Speaker 2: an all or nothing mentality, and it's like, well, I 708 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 2: don't have time to work out today. I have back 709 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,120 Speaker 2: to back meetings, and I have a dinner, and this 710 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 2: morning I'm tied, so I need to stay in bed 711 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,560 Speaker 2: because that's going to be really good for my well being. 712 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 2: But what about that ten minutes in between? What about 713 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,719 Speaker 2: the fifteen minutes after you have that phone call. It's 714 00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,040 Speaker 2: like you can get in exercise in small doses, movement 715 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:15,120 Speaker 2: in small doses, and it all adds up to a 716 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 2: bigger picture. And I think oftentimes we're like, well, I 717 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 2: don't have time, but look at the time you actually 718 00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 2: have and ask yourself what are you capable of doing 719 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 2: with that? 720 00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 4: So true even starting with I know, like you wake 721 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,520 Speaker 4: up and just doing like cat Cow poses, what a 722 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:31,279 Speaker 4: beautiful way to start your day, and being like, yes, 723 00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 4: I'm connecting my mind and my body these first three minutes, right, 724 00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,879 Speaker 4: is movement that counts as movement. You know, you need 725 00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 4: to get fluid all around your body and into your 726 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 4: joints and oxygenated blood. That is all really important, so 727 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,239 Speaker 4: it doesn't need to look like the thirty minutes at 728 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,480 Speaker 4: Barri's boot camp. I one hundred percent agree with that. 729 00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 4: And the other thing that I think a big paradigm 730 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,759 Speaker 4: shift that went to my brain is yes, we move 731 00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 4: for our bodies, but our bodies really move for us. 732 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,280 Speaker 4: And it's a really intense thing to grasp and helps 733 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 4: us find gratitude for our bodies. So you're not just 734 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,040 Speaker 4: like your body is showing up for you every single day. 735 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 4: And that is a luxury and a gift that a 736 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:13,880 Speaker 4: lot of people don't have, whether they are you know, 737 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 4: handicapped in some way, the fact that your body or 738 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 4: if you're you know, hopefully if you're my body it's 739 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 4: showing up for me every single day. 740 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 3: I owe it to it to move. 741 00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 4: It and help it feel really good. And I think 742 00:36:27,239 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 4: that we have this like mindset from I'm not sure. 743 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:31,879 Speaker 4: I think we all have sort of different reasons as 744 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,319 Speaker 4: to why we think, like exercise has to look like 745 00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 4: ABC or D. 746 00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 3: But I mean, I think that school. 747 00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 4: I don't know if you agree with this or not, 748 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 4: given that you know you're you're an athlete, I think 749 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,880 Speaker 4: that like physical education in school is a joke. Like 750 00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:49,200 Speaker 4: I personally hate to run like sprints or relays, and 751 00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,160 Speaker 4: so when I got out of college, out of high school, 752 00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,000 Speaker 4: the last thing I wanted to do was like exercise 753 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,960 Speaker 4: in this way. But I actually love to strength train, 754 00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:57,600 Speaker 4: Like why didn't they show me how to do stuff 755 00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 4: like that in high school? 756 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, it feels good on my body specifically. 757 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. 758 00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,040 Speaker 2: I think it's funny you keep being like you're an athlete. 759 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 2: I'm like a strong believer that everyone is an athlete 760 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:09,840 Speaker 2: in their own way. 761 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that. 762 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 2: I mean, Emily in two thousand and six was not 763 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 2: nearly the same athlete that I am today. Emily in 764 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,720 Speaker 2: two thousand and six actually really love to dance despite 765 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,680 Speaker 2: being dramatically overweight, and so that was how I was active. 766 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:30,040 Speaker 2: But Emily, now in twenty nineteen, is gearing up for 767 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 2: her eighth marathon. I think that athleticism can be defined 768 00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,799 Speaker 2: by many different people, at many different points in their life, 769 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 2: in many different ways. So like, it's all about perception, right, 770 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:42,680 Speaker 2: Like I view you as your own type of athlete, 771 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: just like I am my own type of athlete. So 772 00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 2: now that we have that covered, when does the shift 773 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,120 Speaker 2: happen that with the type of clients you're working with? 774 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:54,720 Speaker 2: Because you are realizing now in this epiphany of sorts 775 00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:58,280 Speaker 2: that you have been approaching this certain type of eating 776 00:37:58,520 --> 00:37:59,040 Speaker 2: for a while. 777 00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 3: Would it be okay to insert my hurdle moment? 778 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 1: Oh my god, please throw me a hurdle all back? 779 00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, So, actually I've never talked I haven't talked about 780 00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 4: this in a very long time. And by the way, 781 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 4: I've had so many hurdle moments in my life. So, 782 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,480 Speaker 4: you know, thinking about this podcast was like, which one 783 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 4: is going to be relevant to our conversation? But this 784 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,359 Speaker 4: kind of feels natural. The first podcast I was ever on, 785 00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 4: I was on a nutrition related podcast with somebody whose 786 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 4: podcast I listened to and I loved and I was 787 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,839 Speaker 4: so honored when she asked me to be on it, 788 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 4: and I recorded it very candidly, as I always do. 789 00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 4: I don't like to prepare much for podcasts, even to 790 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,040 Speaker 4: this day. And this was about three or four years ago. 791 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,759 Speaker 4: And she called me or texted me or emailed me 792 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:46,120 Speaker 4: days after it went live, and I had already heard 793 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,400 Speaker 4: from so many people that they loved it, telling me 794 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 4: that she's taking it down, and I did not understand. 795 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:57,160 Speaker 4: But she basically told me that there were complaints that 796 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:00,560 Speaker 4: people went to my Instagram page and I was promoting 797 00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 4: diet culture. And I was so saddened by this because 798 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 4: A it wasn't completely true, and B it made me 799 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:16,480 Speaker 4: take a really like good look at myself. So as 800 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 4: I am in a skinny body, I have always been 801 00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:24,160 Speaker 4: in a skinny body, and I need to be very 802 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,799 Speaker 4: careful with my wording to make sure that I'm not 803 00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:31,879 Speaker 4: pushing diet culture on everybody. At that time, my philosophy 804 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 4: was very different than what it is now. It was 805 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 4: never I was never practicing like in a way that 806 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,440 Speaker 4: didn't make me feel proud, But like I said, my 807 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,160 Speaker 4: audience was different. You know, my sorry, my Instagram audience 808 00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,040 Speaker 4: and my practice were sort of different things. My practice, 809 00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 4: you know, I would help people lose weight, but I 810 00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 4: never did so in a way that like wouldn't make 811 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,800 Speaker 4: me feel like I was, you know, having them restrict 812 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,880 Speaker 4: or starve or do anything like that. I was just 813 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:06,399 Speaker 4: teaching healthy living. Anyway, long story short is she ended 814 00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,600 Speaker 4: up apologizing and putting the podcast back up because what 815 00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:12,320 Speaker 4: these people said was not true. 816 00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 3: But she basically it. 817 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,799 Speaker 4: Made me realize that coming from a skinny body, I 818 00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 4: need to be really aware of the words that I'm 819 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 4: saying if I want my words. 820 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 3: To be well received. Does that make sense yea. 821 00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 4: And it was just really hard to like take public 822 00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,040 Speaker 4: criticism like that, especially because it wasn't true and I 823 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 4: couldn't really defend myself in the way. But it was 824 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 4: the first time, I remember, we didn't have Instagram Live 825 00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:38,680 Speaker 4: or stories or anything. 826 00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 3: We didn't even have stories at the time. It was 827 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 3: that long ago. 828 00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 4: But I went on Facebook Live and I just gave 829 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 4: a public apology to my audience that like, I am 830 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 4: so sorry if I ever made you feel like you're 831 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,279 Speaker 4: not good enough or like you need to lose weight, 832 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 4: And just by like visibly seeing my body, and people responded, 833 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,600 Speaker 4: have really haven't even thought about this until on my 834 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:05,799 Speaker 4: walk down here this morning. People responded so kindly, like 835 00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 4: that they understood and that they appreciate my message. And 836 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,680 Speaker 4: I think from that moment on, I realized that, like 837 00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:15,399 Speaker 4: my voice online has to be exactly who I am 838 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,040 Speaker 4: and what I believe and how I eat in my philosophy, 839 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 4: and therefore my practice all those separate things at the 840 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 4: time needs to reflect that. And so while I'm turning 841 00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 4: the page of this mindful eating book, I'm like, I 842 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 4: need to bring this to my clients. I need to 843 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,000 Speaker 4: only be working with people that really want to improve 844 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,000 Speaker 4: their relationship to food. Maybe they also want to lose weight, 845 00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 4: but improving their relationship to food needs to come first. 846 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 4: And why that meant saying no to a lot of 847 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 4: different clients as well, who you know simply weren't up for. 848 00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,080 Speaker 2: That challenge, right, So then what does that look like 849 00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:50,240 Speaker 2: in practice? 850 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 4: So I spent the next few years one on one 851 00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 4: practice really implementing mindful eating strategies and pairing that with 852 00:41:57,160 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 4: nutrition education. So a lot of times when people hear 853 00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,799 Speaker 4: about my full eating or intuitive eating is a word 854 00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,879 Speaker 4: that I don't particularly use but a lot of people 855 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,400 Speaker 4: are trained to do intuitive eating. They think that that 856 00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:11,799 Speaker 4: means anti anti nutrition, and that's not the case at all. 857 00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,760 Speaker 4: I lead actually with nutrition and helping people learn about 858 00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:16,680 Speaker 4: what food actually does in the body so that. 859 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 3: You're not fearful of it. 860 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 4: So the first thing that I was doing with all 861 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 4: of my clients was giving them basically what I learned 862 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 4: in grad school, Like you shouldn't have to go to 863 00:42:23,640 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 4: grad school to learn the basics of carbs, proteins and fats, right, 864 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,399 Speaker 4: Like simple things that you need to do every single 865 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 4: day to understand that a calorie simply means food energy, 866 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:37,000 Speaker 4: Like you need energy, whether you are somebody that works 867 00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 4: out or doesn't, you need that energy no matter what. 868 00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 4: And really uncomplicating that, like you need to eat no 869 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:45,400 Speaker 4: matter what, and you need to eat carbs, proteins, and 870 00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 4: fat no matter what. And empowering them with science so 871 00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:52,200 Speaker 4: that then they can make active decisions to pair that 872 00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:54,520 Speaker 4: with listening to their body. And so I started using 873 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 4: meditation in my practices and a lot of things to 874 00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:01,080 Speaker 4: help them become their own guide. So it's so easy 875 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,799 Speaker 4: to follow somebody on social media and have them tell 876 00:43:03,880 --> 00:43:07,560 Speaker 4: you what to eat because they look like, you know, awesome, 877 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,680 Speaker 4: But the truth is is that you need to be 878 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 4: your own inner guide. And I didn't want people coming 879 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,640 Speaker 4: to me to look like me. I wanted people coming 880 00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 4: to me because they wanted to learn to be their 881 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,440 Speaker 4: inner guide and trust themselves. And it's so hard. And 882 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,440 Speaker 4: that's why I call like the noise. There's so much 883 00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,320 Speaker 4: noise in or and outer. I know you know a 884 00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,440 Speaker 4: lot about the inner noise with like the negative self 885 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:29,319 Speaker 4: talk that we're you know, going through all the time. 886 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,560 Speaker 4: I heard on a podcast that you recorded too, that 887 00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 4: something that really struck me as interesting was when you 888 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 4: see your hair like in a certain way, it takes 889 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:39,920 Speaker 4: you back to a point of your life that shakes 890 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:40,200 Speaker 4: you up. 891 00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:41,040 Speaker 3: It's triggers some to. 892 00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 4: Youtal and it's so important to know those triggers so 893 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,120 Speaker 4: that like when that negative self talk comes in, you 894 00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 4: can be like, no, Emily, that's not who you are. Yes, 895 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 4: maybe your hair is making reminding you of that, but 896 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,280 Speaker 4: that's not who you are. Look how far you've come 897 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 4: and so empowering my clients with the ability to combat 898 00:43:58,239 --> 00:44:01,560 Speaker 4: inner noise that as well as outer noise.

Yeah, oh yeah, 931 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 4: easy real food. Like my mantra is eat real, be mindful. 932 00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,000 Speaker 4: My longer versions eat real, be mindful, live more, obsessed less. 933 00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:03,480 Speaker 4: But the eat real, be mindful is how it all starts. 934 00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,640 Speaker 4: Because I believe in the power of real food. And 935 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,120 Speaker 4: that doesn't mean that you can't also have, you know, 936 00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,319 Speaker 4: whatever else you like. But if a majority of your 937 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,239 Speaker 4: diet is coming out of packaging, that's a good way 938 00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 4: to think of real food. There are some exceptions to 939 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 4: things like grains like oatmeal, right that's a real food, 940 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,600 Speaker 4: or oats or brown rice, those are all real food. 941 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,359 Speaker 4: But when you are eating with real food, it has 942 00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:30,160 Speaker 4: the most powerful nutrition to feel your best, and see 943 00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:35,560 Speaker 4: if you can do it in its most nature, untouched form. 944 00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:38,920 Speaker 4: So take something like an orange, for example, and peel 945 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,040 Speaker 4: it yourself rather than getting had just got a fruit 946 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,400 Speaker 4: cut from right outside right where like all the melon 947 00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,640 Speaker 4: was peeled off, like the strawberries were all cut. Take 948 00:46:46,680 --> 00:46:49,240 Speaker 4: an orange and sit with it and peel it open 949 00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,000 Speaker 4: with your hands, and go through the motions of what 950 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 4: it's like to eat that orange. Because when it's required, 951 00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,239 Speaker 4: when the labor's there, when you're chewing it, all these 952 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,040 Speaker 4: things actually help you get in tune with your satisfaction 953 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 4: and it slows you down, Like the actual peeling and 954 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,080 Speaker 4: segmenting off actually slows you down and allows you to 955 00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:13,799 Speaker 4: become more in touch with your body's internal systems, which, 956 00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,800 Speaker 4: believe it or not, you have whether you're eating cookies 957 00:47:16,880 --> 00:47:20,000 Speaker 4: or cake or fruit, your body is telling you when 958 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 4: you've had enough, when the taste has dissipated, when you're satisfied, 959 00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,480 Speaker 4: when you're hungry, when you're full. All that stuff is 960 00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 4: within you, right. It might now be clouded out by 961 00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 4: these rules that you've placed over them. But if we 962 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:35,640 Speaker 4: can strip that away, like you've totally got. 963 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 2: It, I think so many of the people that I've 964 00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 2: sat down with for hurdle, they all advise real food, 965 00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 2: and then a lot of them will say organic when 966 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,160 Speaker 2: possible and things like that. And some of the feedback 967 00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 2: that I've gotten from the hurdlers is that they feel 968 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 2: like sometimes the people that come to sit down with 969 00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 2: me don't have a realistic understanding of the fact that 970 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 2: they just don't aren't made of money, and it's like, 971 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,160 Speaker 2: eat all of these organic foods and like, well, you 972 00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 2: know what, and so then I'll say like, well, that's expensive, 973 00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 2: and then the feedback could be, well, like maybe you 974 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:11,000 Speaker 2: shouldn't do this and use that money toward X instead 975 00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:12,960 Speaker 2: of Y, and it's a little overwhelming. 976 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,000 Speaker 4: I think I one hundred percent agree. I think it's 977 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 4: super easy, especially as probably the people that sit in 978 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:25,760 Speaker 4: this chair have very different jobs than the people who listen. 979 00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:30,719 Speaker 4: Just on my walk down here, actually I was smelling 980 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,640 Speaker 4: like freshly baked like croissants and bagels, and I know 981 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,520 Speaker 4: exactly that was my thought. M But when I'm at 982 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,719 Speaker 4: home all day and I work from home, when I 983 00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:41,479 Speaker 4: wake up, I'm not getting like smells of freshly baked 984 00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,759 Speaker 4: donuts coming through the walls. Of my house, I'm really not, 985 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 4: And so I think that real life people are experiencing 986 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 4: different stimulus then maybe those of us who work from 987 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:54,640 Speaker 4: home or work for ourselves. And it's really important to 988 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,359 Speaker 4: recognize that as a professional that I can't sit in 989 00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,719 Speaker 4: my chair and tell somebody just listen to your body. 990 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 4: If you're you know, you're getting a smell of a 991 00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 4: donut and it's telling you to eat the doughnut. But 992 00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 4: what I will say is to listen to your internal voice. 993 00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:09,280 Speaker 3: When you have those thoughts. 994 00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:12,319 Speaker 4: So when you smell a freshly baked donut or like 995 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,239 Speaker 4: whatever it is, and that was just the smell I 996 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 4: think that I got on my way down here this morning, 997 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,120 Speaker 4: what is their internal voice saying. Is it, oh, that 998 00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:22,200 Speaker 4: smells good? Oh no, I can't have that, but I 999 00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,280 Speaker 4: want it so bad, right? Or is it that smells good? 1000 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,640 Speaker 3: Kinna? Am I still in the mood for my breakfast today? 1001 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:29,439 Speaker 3: Does that make sense? 1002 00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:29,840 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1003 00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 4: And I think just paying attention to that dialogue is 1004 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:36,480 Speaker 4: really important when it comes to expensive versus You know 1005 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:41,200 Speaker 4: that being unattainable. Real food is not more expensive. Yes, 1006 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 4: organic food is more expensive, but real food, one ingredient 1007 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,680 Speaker 4: food is going to be more cost effective, but it 1008 00:49:50,800 --> 00:49:53,360 Speaker 4: might take a little bit more time, which is a 1009 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 4: cost one hundred percent, yeah, to sort of get that. 1010 00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:57,800 Speaker 4: So I think it's important that you don't need to 1011 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 4: eat all organic. You don't need to even eat all 1012 00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 4: real food. But when I say real food, real food 1013 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,239 Speaker 4: can easily be a sandwich with turkey. Like bread is 1014 00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 4: real food, it's made with a real food ingredient. It's 1015 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 4: kind of different if it's wonderbread sitting on the shelf 1016 00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:12,200 Speaker 4: therefore has preservatives and all types of you know things 1017 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:12,520 Speaker 4: in it. 1018 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,279 Speaker 3: But bread or pasta are one hundred percent real. 1019 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1020 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,880 Speaker 2: Everyone has a different thought process on what real foods 1021 00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,560 Speaker 2: would work for them. Okay, so real foods are an 1022 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 2: important thing that we're going to stress here. Other than that, 1023 00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 2: anything else you want to offer up to me to 1024 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:30,279 Speaker 2: be one percent healthier besides the water tip. 1025 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:33,399 Speaker 4: Like you asked me in the beginning about the bloating, Yeah, 1026 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,040 Speaker 4: I think it all starts. Everything we do is cyclical. 1027 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:37,840 Speaker 4: The day doesn't start when you wake up in the 1028 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:42,400 Speaker 4: morning and you feel bloated. The day starts nowhere. Like 1029 00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,560 Speaker 4: it's all cyclical and flows. But I think a good 1030 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,719 Speaker 4: thing to set yourself up for the next day is 1031 00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:50,880 Speaker 4: the night before? What are you doing? What are you 1032 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:54,640 Speaker 4: doing the night before? What does your bedtime hygiene look like? 1033 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 4: So wellness and that's you know, the fun part of 1034 00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:59,680 Speaker 4: the well necessities to me is it goes so far 1035 00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:03,120 Speaker 4: beyond on what you're eating and what you're drinking or 1036 00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,360 Speaker 4: how much you're moving. It is about what you're thinking, 1037 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:10,200 Speaker 4: what you're doing, how grounded you feel, what your spirituality is. 1038 00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,000 Speaker 4: You know, do you believe in something bigger? And what 1039 00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,880 Speaker 4: are you doing to take care of yourself. So I 1040 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:18,640 Speaker 4: think something like a bedtime ritual can make sure that 1041 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,280 Speaker 4: you're even getting really good sleep, which is so important 1042 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:27,120 Speaker 4: for everything, sell, turnover, recovery, really everything. And it's really 1043 00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,960 Speaker 4: hard to achieve good sleep if what you're doing before 1044 00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,279 Speaker 4: bed is not optimal. I'm not going to say that 1045 00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,480 Speaker 4: every single night I have good bedtime hygiene, but I 1046 00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:39,200 Speaker 4: will say that the nights that I really breathwork, breathing 1047 00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,080 Speaker 4: for three minutes with intentionality writing into my gratitude journal 1048 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,560 Speaker 4: provides me with a much deeper and better sleep. 1049 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,960 Speaker 2: I was editing a story yesterday with an expert, and 1050 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:52,120 Speaker 2: they had feedback. When it comes to the situation like 1051 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 2: the donut situation where it is you smell it, you 1052 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,640 Speaker 2: think about it, then just for a second, think about 1053 00:51:57,680 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 2: ten minutes from now, you ate the donut, what's your 1054 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 2: gut saying, like, how do you feel about the fact 1055 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,920 Speaker 2: that you ate the donut? Like are you happy and 1056 00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 2: you're like, wow, that was so delightful? Or are you negative? 1057 00:52:08,440 --> 00:52:10,400 Speaker 2: Or is there negative self talk there? And just like 1058 00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 2: take a second and take a step back and be 1059 00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,839 Speaker 2: like how would I feel? And sometimes you know it's 1060 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 2: you'll feel great and you can move forward, And that's 1061 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 2: a good I don't know, I thought it was. 1062 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:20,480 Speaker 1: I thought it was a really. 1063 00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 2: Good way to kind of view this as how am 1064 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 2: I gonna feel if I do this thing? 1065 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 3: I love that. 1066 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:26,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 1067 00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,200 Speaker 4: In my online course for the Noise, which is sort 1068 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,640 Speaker 4: of what I do now, I don't work one on 1069 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,799 Speaker 4: one with people as much. I have an online course 1070 00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:33,680 Speaker 4: and we're in. 1071 00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:34,520 Speaker 3: Session right now. 1072 00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:39,080 Speaker 4: And last night somebody was a new mom was talking 1073 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,480 Speaker 4: about how she is really confused because she wants to 1074 00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,919 Speaker 4: allow herself to not see foods as good or bad 1075 00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:47,759 Speaker 4: to have the cookie, but she's struggling because when she 1076 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 4: has the cookie, it turns into six cookies. And I 1077 00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:52,600 Speaker 4: think that that's something that a lot of us can 1078 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 4: sort of relate to, and that is the noise taking 1079 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:02,000 Speaker 4: over as it's happening. So it's it's not for me 1080 00:53:02,080 --> 00:53:04,000 Speaker 4: to say that you should or shouldn't have the cookie, 1081 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,960 Speaker 4: or that the amount for me to decide the amount 1082 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:09,839 Speaker 4: of cookies that's appropriate for you. That's your job, and 1083 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:13,480 Speaker 4: it depends situation to situation. But it takes getting quiet 1084 00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:15,759 Speaker 4: and not letting the noise in the fear kind of 1085 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:18,480 Speaker 4: swallow you whole. Because what's happening when she's having one cookie, 1086 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 4: she's still going into it with the mindset of Okay, 1087 00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:24,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have just one cookie, and instead of actually 1088 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,160 Speaker 4: tasting the cookie and enjoying it, she's already thinking, oh 1089 00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:28,719 Speaker 4: my god, what's this gonna do to my body? Is 1090 00:53:28,719 --> 00:53:30,839 Speaker 4: this gonna set me back? Okay, this tastes so good, 1091 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:32,440 Speaker 4: I'm gonna have more and more and more than you're 1092 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:34,600 Speaker 4: You know, you're putting the cookie in your mouth as 1093 00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 4: your brain is getting louder and louder. You're not even 1094 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:40,040 Speaker 4: enjoying it. The next thing your mind saying is, oh, well, Fitt, 1095 00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,359 Speaker 4: you already messed up. You might as well have all 1096 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,000 Speaker 4: the cookies because they're gonna start over tomorrow, right, Is 1097 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,319 Speaker 4: that something that like something I can relate to for me. 1098 00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,200 Speaker 1: One hundred percent? I mean, you know what, you know 1099 00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:50,200 Speaker 1: what the cookie is for me? 1100 00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:52,920 Speaker 2: Those Trader Joe's dark chocolate peanut butter cups that are 1101 00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:54,759 Speaker 2: near the cast or just said that only cost ninety 1102 00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,480 Speaker 2: nine cents for at least like there's at least twelve 1103 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 2: in the bag. 1104 00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: There are many, They're great, yeah them right there, my cookies. 1105 00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 4: There are cookies, and I think that there's no problem 1106 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 4: having you know, joy from that. And there might be 1107 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,720 Speaker 4: situations where twelve is appropriate for you, Emily, But there. 1108 00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:11,240 Speaker 3: Are not all ones, not all one, but there. 1109 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,880 Speaker 4: There are situations where you are satisfied at one. But 1110 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,239 Speaker 4: it's your job to tune in and recognize what that 1111 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,759 Speaker 4: is and stop creating stories about what a cookie does 1112 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,680 Speaker 4: or what a peanut buttercup does to you and instead 1113 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 4: just enjoy it. Yeah, and there might be situations where 1114 00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,000 Speaker 4: paying attention to the food is important, whereas not paying 1115 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:33,200 Speaker 4: attention to the food is also important. So maybe it's 1116 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,640 Speaker 4: you know, sharing a special dessert with a with a 1117 00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,520 Speaker 4: family member, just being present for those things rather than 1118 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,560 Speaker 4: in your head of no I can't have that, you know, 1119 00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:43,840 Speaker 4: or you're eating it and you're just not even listening 1120 00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:46,280 Speaker 4: to what somebody's saying because you're drowning in the gilt. 1121 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,719 Speaker 2: Right what would you say right now is something that 1122 00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 2: you need? Like what excites you right now? 1123 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:57,280 Speaker 3: Being creative? I have a creative. 1124 00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,319 Speaker 4: Drive that I also kind of ignored for a very 1125 00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 4: long time as I became a registered dietitian and put 1126 00:55:02,480 --> 00:55:04,440 Speaker 4: on my science happ hat and that was all I 1127 00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:07,840 Speaker 4: could kind of be. And I'm really excited by being creative, 1128 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:11,640 Speaker 4: whether that means for pure joy or for course creation. 1129 00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:15,240 Speaker 3: So my course creation process involves so much. 1130 00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:20,759 Speaker 4: Creativity and marketing and learning how to write copy that's 1131 00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,799 Speaker 4: going to speak to somebody, and that really excites me 1132 00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:25,959 Speaker 4: to put on that new role and step away even 1133 00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:27,080 Speaker 4: from the science for a bit. 1134 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:30,160 Speaker 2: I can imagine creating your first course must have been 1135 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: crazy overwhelming. 1136 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:35,479 Speaker 3: Yeah it was. It was awesome. Actually it was. You'd 1137 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,160 Speaker 3: be surprised probably how many months. 1138 00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 4: And I'm very lucky that I met my best friend 1139 00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 4: and operations manager in grand jury duty. 1140 00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 3: Almost two years ago. 1141 00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: What's the likelihood of that, man, It's insane. 1142 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,520 Speaker 4: I mean, I talk about everything happening for a reason. 1143 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:55,280 Speaker 4: I had just opened my private practice in New York City. 1144 00:55:55,560 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 4: My rent was crazy, and one month later I get 1145 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 4: to notice that I don't have regular jury duty, have 1146 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 4: grand jury duty four weeks that I have to be 1147 00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,239 Speaker 4: in the courthouse, and like nobody gets out of grand 1148 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 4: jury duty and you walk into a room of four 1149 00:56:07,880 --> 00:56:11,160 Speaker 4: hundred people. I sat down directly next to her. We 1150 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 4: both ended up getting picked.
