Welcome back to another episode 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:16.279 of Conversations. Today's guest is somebody I've known for a 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.840 really long time and she's honestly a huge inspiration to 0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:23.840 me because she's dedicated, she works hard, and she's inspired 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.880 so many young girls to hop on this fitness journey 0:00:26.880 --> 0:00:31.040 that she's created a few years back. UM. Her brand 0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:38.040 is called Fit with Cambrie. So please welcome miss Cambrie Schroeder. Hi, 0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.840 how are you doing so good? How are you? I'm good. 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:46.960 It's been forever, I know. Wow, crazy, crazy crazy, So 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.800 will you give maybe the listeners a little intro as 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:55.120 to who you are? What we're starting right off the bat? Awesome? 0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.000 So yeah, I'm Cambridge rode around, the founder out Fit 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:03.160 with Cambrie, who helped how inspire women to improve their wellness. Um, 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.840 it's for women of all kinds. We want to just 0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:08.240 feel better and that's the great thing that we aspire 0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:11.039 to teach is that it doesn't matter what you look like, 0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:13.319 it doesn't matter your body shape. Health is a feeling, 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:15.920 So it's super inclusive and that's something that we really 0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:19.640 try to convey our messages and our content and our products. Yes, 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.319 I remember when you I don't know if I remember 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:25.400 when you started Fit with Cambrie, which is Cambrie's brand, 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.800 and she has you know, so many you have like 0:01:28.880 --> 0:01:32.080 training videos on YouTube from that I remember from like 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.720 back in the day, and then you've expanded into like 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:40.319 protein powders and different equipment, and you've helped so many 0:01:40.360 --> 0:01:44.840 young girls transform from like the most insane before and 0:01:44.880 --> 0:01:48.080 after photos, um, and I want to know like how 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:51.080 you got into that and where this love for fitness 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:54.680 and health started. Yeah, So I felt I grew up 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:58.639 in Hollywood industry similar like Olivia. We come from similar 0:01:58.680 --> 0:02:00.840 backgrounds of how many parents who are in the industry 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:05.320 and me personally, I felt like I was lacking support 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.800 and guidance in my life. I didn't I wanted to 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:11.080 be healthy and feel good, and I didn't have a 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:14.200 mentor or the tools to get there. And so I 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.320 went on a journey of trying to find people to 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:20.720 surround myself that would help guide me through my personal 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:25.000 journey and that I wanted to then help inspire others 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.720 who might feel alone or lost in their process and 0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:30.480 be the guidance that I needed for them. So we 0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:35.200 started off. I started off teaching dance classes to girls 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.600 and mouth but though some of our mutual friends, and 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.440 then I wanted to be able to reach more people 0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:45.080 besides just my smaller community, and knew that would be 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.280 through products that could help change their lives. Through just 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:52.480 you know, making a nice protein smoothie in the morning. 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.720 Just by doing that you could start yourself on a 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.800 positive trend of feeling better. So that's where it started. 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.680 You was kind of like trial and error for you, 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.680 because I think I can relate to growing up in 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:06.720 l A and growing up in this kind of world 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.320 where you feel like you have to look a certain 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.320 way and put on like a certain image, and definitely 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.880 I feel like I'm still dealing with it of trying 0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.000 to like fit in and waking up some mornings and 0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:19.200 being like, oh I I don't look good enough, or 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:21.440 now I look this way or whatever it is, and 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.839 how did you how do you feel like you? Um, 0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:26.440 I don't know, just kind of like honed in and 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.720 focused on the health aspect of it, so it was 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.160 like healthy to you instead of feeling like, oh, I 0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.040 have to do this for a certain image or look. Yeah, 0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:37.640 I definitely felt that pressure for many, many years, and 0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.560 I realized it took me nowhere and I never felt 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:42.560 good And you never feel good enough and never feel 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:46.440 pretty enough, you never feel accepted enough. So once I 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.840 kind of understood that that's not where my wellness would lie, 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:54.720 I went the journey of understanding that that can be 0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:57.280 through you and good and how do you feel good? 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.920 That's about taking care of yourself, nourishing your body, surrounding 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.960 yourself with people who are living a healthy life style 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.520 that you can learn and grow from. So it took 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.120 me a long time to like go of like you 0:04:09.160 --> 0:04:12.320 don't want to with having a certain image or be 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:15.600 accepted and um, so that's been the journey that I've 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.839 been on, and I hope to inspire other people to 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.320 put more emphasis on feeling good instead of looking a 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.159 certain way. And that's that we all equally have the 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.640 ability to do yes. And you know what I'm also 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.000 really curious about. Obviously you've said you're from l A. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.800 We come from very similar like backgrounds and lifestyles, but 0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:37.440 you moved, you kind of got out of that whole atmosphere, 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.279 and I'm wondering was that just because you want to change? 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.120 Was there something that was holding you back? What are 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.680 the differences that you notice within yourself from leaving Los Angeles. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.440 I feel like I needed just a you when you're 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:55.640 going through, when you're wanting to change, being in the 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:59.359 environment that was maybe hard to grow in. It's almost 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:02.760 impossible to make changes in the environment that could have 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.920 been toxic for you. So I felt like I needed 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:09.360 to remove myself to see things clear, to work and 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.440 focus on on myself. And that doesn't mean, you know, 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:14.240 like I'm never going to move back to LA or 0:05:14.240 --> 0:05:16.760 New York or be in those places, but it was 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:20.039 hard for me to manage some of the social pressures 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:23.160 and you know, the culture as I was trying to 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:28.640 evolve and grow in that was very hard. Um. So yeah, 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:33.840 I'm saying now time between Miami and Ecuador. Oddly Ecuador 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.120 my boy, Yeah, oh no way. So he's there and 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:40.120 we've just been going like months a month back and 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.760 forth between Miami and Ecuador, and UM, it's been awesome 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:47.240 because I've really been able to focus on expanding. It 0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.960 was Cambrie. We have in supplement line that we currently have, 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:55.120 but technologies that we're developing. We have plans for three 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:59.360 years in the works of expanding our line of groundbreaking technology. 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:01.760 So I've really been able to put my focus on 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:04.520 my passion and not be distracted by things, you know 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.760 that that are hard for me to manage right now. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:09.640 I love that. Okay, So I think that this is 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.160 a pretty general question I see a lot with any 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.599 time I'm having somebody that's created their own business come 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.760 on or on my YouTube, people are always wondering how 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.080 do you start? Like where do you start? And let's 0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.440 say somebody wants to create any sort of line of 0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:28.040 something that they're passionate about, what were your first starting 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.440 steps to get to where you are now? I think 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:34.160 the important thing with wanting to start and starting to 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:36.920 be a business owner, which is also has become like 0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:39.360 a trend almost right now, like a lot of people 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.360 and there's like starting their own brands and and I 0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:45.280 think that's great. But I have a vision of wanting 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.120 to be like a you know, I have a dream 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.760 of point I p O and having a corporation. We 0:06:49.880 --> 0:06:54.200 have a full staff of a huge company. And there's 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.480 a difference between being a startup and you know, wanting 0:06:57.520 --> 0:07:00.120 to just like launch a like you know, whatever it 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:01.880 is you want to launch and wanting to take it 0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:05.280 to the growth of being a public company. That's the 0:07:05.320 --> 0:07:08.240 transition that I've been in because I have been a startup. 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.679 I started with Cambrie when I was eighteen and twenty 0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.360 five now, so I've been in the journey of you know, 0:07:14.120 --> 0:07:16.800 anyone can these days start a company. So what is 0:07:16.840 --> 0:07:18.960 it that makes it different of taking it to that 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.440 next level? Which is the journey I've been going through. 0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:24.680 And the biggest thing that I can say is is 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:29.480 surrounding yourself with experts who in the field, who who 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:34.280 can help guide you because doing it alone and doing 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:37.880 anything alone, it's challenging, and the more supporting guidance you 0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:42.800 have the better. Also, just perseverance. Every day is a challenge. 0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.920 Every day is a challenge comes up that you know 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.800 could almost take you out. So having that resilience to 0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:54.320 just wake up and be that like, have that entrepreneur 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.160 mentality this is this is this is plan A and 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:00.880 there is no plan B. So that's in my day 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.480 to this. What's the hardest thing's been through with that process. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:10.080 There's been everything from like because we do rigorous testing 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.440 on our supplements. We put them through like a lot 0:08:12.520 --> 0:08:15.040 of testing before they make it out of the warehouse. 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.040 So there's been batches before We've been sold out for 0:08:18.160 --> 0:08:21.800 you know, six months, and the cash flow stops because 0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:26.280 we're sold out, but still there's there's salaries to maintain 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:29.320 and the financial pressure is still there and there's nothing 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.520 to sell. So and then the batch comes back and 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:34.720 it's contaminated with something and we have to for the 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:40.360 whole batch away that that is stressful just thinking about it. 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.080 But that's probably one of the hardest things that I've 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.360 I've been through is is not knowing UM. Also with 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.800 the with COVID, and there's been a lot of issues 0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:54.000 in recording, and we get our products from all over 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.280 the world, resources quality from all over the world, so 0:08:57.320 --> 0:09:01.600 there's been a lot of issues with logistics, UM things 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:05.560 that are out of your control. Which you're entrepreneur, you 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:08.080 want to be in control of everything, which is just impossible. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.360 So I think that learning to for me, I see 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.560 this as a lifelong journey and to let control the 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:20.400 day today has been been part of the plan here. 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.120 That's amazing, honestly that you keep persevering through it, because 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.839 if that happened to me, I would have a panic attack, genuinely. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:28.720 So I know that you have to have a strong 0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:32.360 mentality to get through it. And I remember when this 0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:35.000 has to be years ago now, but your YouTube videos 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:37.560 when you would be fit with Cambrie like packaging the 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.480 protein powders to ship them out in your apartment. So 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.000 do you still ship them out yourself or now do 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.599 you have like a factory or manufacture something? That I 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:50.480 love that you've been able to see the growth and 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:54.880 the thing because, like Olivia saying, we started, I bought 0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:58.520 one protein at a time. So buy one protein, I 0:09:58.559 --> 0:10:00.599 would sell it, ship it out my self, pack it 0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.000 up and then you know, so ten of time, hundreds 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.480 of time, and then I had, you know, had to 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.520 figure out you know, okay, it can't be sending my 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.560 whole dage packaging boxes. Now we have a full we 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:15.440 have a full warehouse, ship impact facility. It's crazy how 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:19.160 much we've grown and expanded, so tens of thousands of 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:38.000 units a month. That's so insane. It is really fun 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.200 that you've been able to document it too, so you 0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.199 can go back yourself and look at the growth. And 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.120 then people that have been on the journey with you 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:49.520 for a while. What makes your product different than the rest, 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.400 and what research are you putting in that's different from 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.240 somebody else's protein powder. So it's also been a challenge 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:58.280 because there has been now a trend, as I'm sure 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.360 you've seen, of a lot of like gut health supplements 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:03.920 and like a bunch of protein. It's like a whole 0:11:04.720 --> 0:11:08.160 trend right now, and that's been hard to face because 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:12.280 I've needed to grow the people inside of my company 0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:15.280 to help guide me, to give me better direction. But anyways, 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.080 what makes the Gaber Supplements different is we have a 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.719 board of in house experts who help develop the formulas 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:25.560 the highest quality potency that can really have an effect 0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.200 on your health. I noticed that a lot of companies 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.600 put such small quantities that doesn't really it's a lot 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.680 cheaper to do that way that it doesn't have much 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:39.040 effect on on your health. Whereas we we are adamant 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:43.360 on having super high potent, the highest quality formulas that 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:46.680 really can improve your health. For example, our greens powder. 0:11:46.720 --> 0:11:49.040 A lot of people just think, you know, greens are healthy, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:51.800 and greens are greens are amazing and so essential to 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:55.360 have in our diet. But if they aren't combined with fiber. 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:58.400 They sometimes just go right through you and can cause 0:11:58.480 --> 0:12:03.360 like stomach senses, sensitivities and irritate your your gut. So 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:04.880 a lot of people think, like I'm gonna be healthy, 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.679 drink a bunch of green juice a bunch of stomach pains. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.840 So we made sure to formulate our greens powder with 0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:15.640 a fiber blend inside so that your body can, your 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.280 gut can more easily and more effectively absorb the nutrients 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.520 that you're ingesting. So we really make our products well rounded. 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.640 For example, our protein powder, we combine with healthy fats 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.680 and carbs in the right amount of protein for women 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.319 to digest, because you know, some proteins are so much 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:35.200 protein it as your stomach ache, you're feeling completely sick afterwards. 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:38.679 So we really want to make we take me being 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.000 a woman and working with a board of experts who 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.440 understand the needs of women, we have created products that 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:48.760 will help the specifics the specific needs of women with 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.719 their gut health with protein and take wanting to you know, 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:55.760 building muscle um. All of our products are super well 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.480 rounded in that sense that we look after the needs 0:12:58.520 --> 0:13:02.880 of women, their gut health and and their hormones there, 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.280 the ability of their hormones to build or not build muscle, 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.800 and how much protein it needs to get that done. Okay, 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.280 So I feel like there's a lot of science behind this, obviously, 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:16.000 and I think for me, I like to like at 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:18.800 least attempt to have a healthy lifestyle, but I don't 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.440 know the ins and outs of everything. What's the importance 0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:24.760 of having protein? Do you have protein every day? What's like? 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.400 What do you tell people in your guide on fit 0:13:27.440 --> 0:13:30.400 with Cambrie, like what a day of eating should look like, 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.040 because I think some people have a misconception that like, 0:13:33.160 --> 0:13:35.720 carbs are really bad and you should only eat really 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:38.960 lean sort of protein and no carbs at all and 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.080 no refined sugar. And what would you say is like, 0:13:43.280 --> 0:13:46.600 I guess maintainable as well, because I think when you 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:50.840 restrict yourself that much, it becomes a little unrealistic totally. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:53.840 So the first part of the question I love that 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:58.560 you asked is why do you need protein? Like, but 0:13:58.600 --> 0:13:59.959 what does that do for your body? And when you 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.520 learn about what protein does for your body, you also 0:14:03.600 --> 0:14:05.400 almost want to drink it more because you're like, Okay, 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:08.720 I really I want these effects. But protein is based 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.240 off of amino acids. And amino acids are the building 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:14.920 blocks for so many things of our body. Our hair 0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:18.320 is built up, amino acids are nails. Every organ in 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:21.320 our body needs amino acids to function properly. So people 0:14:21.320 --> 0:14:23.920 they protein like, oh, I'm just gonna get mussel. It's 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:26.960 to optimize every part of your body. So if you're looking, 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:30.720 you know, you want to have feel good and maybe 0:14:30.720 --> 0:14:34.200 have like thicker hair and stronger nails. Protein is essential. 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:37.480 So protein is essential in every meal, regardless if you're 0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:41.720 working out or not. Mhm. And then with just overall 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.520 eating um and something that could be maintainable for people 0:14:45.560 --> 0:14:47.960 to apply into their day to day life is to 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:54.040 just focus on having well balanced meals. Protein, carbs, fat, fiber. 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.320 Like you said, people sometimes they're afraid of eating. Cards 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:01.880 and carbs are so essential for not only build it 0:15:01.960 --> 0:15:05.240 helping to build we muscle, to build we muscle mass, 0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.560 but also for our gut health. Carbs help our body 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:13.680 absorb nutrients better. Specifically, my favorite is oats. Oats are 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.800 the best. So if you can have, you know, a 0:15:15.840 --> 0:15:19.000 breakfast with oats, it will help your digestion so much 0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:20.680 and combine it, you know, with a scrip of protein 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:22.760 or a side of eggs. Try to get in every 0:15:22.800 --> 0:15:26.000 food group. The more variety you can have in your diet, 0:15:26.040 --> 0:15:29.680 the better. The more range of vitamins you can get in, 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.000 the better. Um. And that's the thing about health as 0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:39.320 it doesn't need to be an overwhelming, daunting, you know journey. 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:42.280 It can be just one day at a time, learning 0:15:42.320 --> 0:15:45.680 to adding a little more protein, drink a little bit 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:49.160 more water. Sometimes even having a rest day or sleeping 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:51.720 or taking the morning off that can be considered a 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.480 healthy choice. So it's really about listening to your body, 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.680 understanding what your body is feels like it needs in 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:00.840 that day. Maybe you need a big your breakfast, maybe 0:16:00.880 --> 0:16:03.920 you need to not have such a big breakfast. Really, 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:07.280 learning and understanding your body is is super important on 0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.840 your health journey. Yeah, and you've been pretty open throughout 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:15.800 the years about how you kind of restricted your diet 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:19.080 when you were a little bit younger or over exercising. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.600 How did you find that healthy balance m hm. So 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.360 that's one of the great things is that I I've 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:28.600 been open of my journey. I used to struggle with 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:35.240 horrible cystic acne um, thinning hair, low energy, and it 0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:40.320 came from a lot of different things of wanting to restrict, 0:16:40.640 --> 0:16:44.680 which fell into the habits me maybe restricting or overeating. 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:47.760 And through my journey of learning what true health is, 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.720 I've been able to find balance in understanding that health. 0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:55.800 I think my my perception of what I wanted to 0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.560 be maybe thin or beautiful, has changed. Instead of it 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:02.680 being this on the physical aspect of you know, wanting 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:05.479 to look a certain way, it's changed to how I 0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.359 want to feel. And when you live your life based 0:17:08.800 --> 0:17:12.320 and choose your healthy choices based on how you want 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.520 to feel, it changes completely because if you want to 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:20.400 feel good, that might mean having toast with bacon. Um, 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:22.280 well bacon. You know, we don't want to have every 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:24.600 single day, but some days we need to treat ourselves. 0:17:24.640 --> 0:17:27.840 And learning that I've been having bacon literally every single 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:30.240 day for like two weeks, and I finally said this morning, 0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:31.960 I was like, Okay, I need to stop, which is 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:36.520 just so random and funny, but I'm obsessed but bacon. Like, 0:17:36.680 --> 0:17:40.800 you know, there are properties in moderation of foods that 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:43.800 you people might think like it's not healthy to have, 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.120 but changing your mentality of you know, there are health 0:17:47.160 --> 0:17:52.200 benefits maybe in bacon once in a while, keyword once 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.680 in a while. I need to like take that advice 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.480 for myself. That's so funny, But how can you learn? 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:02.560 Like I think a lot of but ask me because 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:04.919 they see I'll post something and like a workout outfit, 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.159 and I have no answers because I've done absolutely no 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:09.200 studying or research. So I'm just kind of like pushing 0:18:09.200 --> 0:18:12.560 the questions onto you, but learning to listen to your 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:15.640 body and figuring out like this is what I need 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:17.880 this day, and this is what I don't need to do. 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:23.480 Mm hmm totally. So it I was before this in 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:26.040 a phase of training to be a professional boxer where 0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.560 I was working out twice a day in sane diet 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:33.280 and sane routine, and I reached a complete burnout. And 0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:35.720 so I have been on the extremes of all the 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:38.399 spectrums and then like not wanting to work out because 0:18:38.400 --> 0:18:42.240 I don't have the motivation to understanding that health is, 0:18:42.280 --> 0:18:46.440 you know, having good active daily physical activity to get 0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.240 your heart rate up, to get the blood circulation, focusing 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.040 it on more on how you're going to feel. But practice, 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:58.280 if you can practice, for me, what helped transition from 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.800 to find balance in listening to myself was scheduling. I 0:19:02.800 --> 0:19:05.840 needed to first make a schedule for myself that I 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:10.040 felt was achievable and manageable. So, for example, UM, I 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:15.320 recommend people to do to to do at least to 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.879 do two to five maximum workouts a week UM, and 0:19:19.920 --> 0:19:23.080 then schedule in your rest days the weekends. I love 0:19:23.119 --> 0:19:26.080 to rest, um even the weekends I like to go 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:28.760 out and have a treatment with my boyfriend. And and 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:31.159 so making a schedule that you feel like when you 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:35.159 look at it your week it looks balanced. There's health 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:39.040 and wellness and relaxing and enjoy So it really helps 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:40.960 when you can map it out and make a plan 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:59.800 in a schedule to kind of follow. And see. Obviously 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:04.639 you've always been absolutely drop dead gorgeous, but looking at 0:20:04.720 --> 0:20:06.280 you on this zoom and I haven't seen you in 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:09.240 so long. I mean, you seriously are like glowing from within, 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:12.960 and your hair it's so bright in here. I'm like, 0:20:12.960 --> 0:20:15.399 I'm trying to figure out. No, you look so good though, 0:20:15.440 --> 0:20:17.919 and your hair looks so like thick and long and 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:21.960 healthy and I and your skin actually looks flawless from 0:20:22.000 --> 0:20:24.800 the zoom, and so I just want to know, like, 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:27.119 what does a day in your life look like in 0:20:27.240 --> 0:20:29.760 terms of what you're putting in your body and the 0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:32.639 types of exercises you're doing and the length of those, 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.040 just because I think that will be really helpful a 0:20:35.240 --> 0:20:37.680 for me, I'm selfishly asking, and then be for people 0:20:37.720 --> 0:20:41.199 listening that don't really know where to start. So my 0:20:41.359 --> 0:20:43.639 I'll go through just a typical day. So I wake 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:48.040 up at six thirty, I have well I'm having another 0:20:48.080 --> 0:20:50.080 one today, but I have Glowing Greens which is our 0:20:50.080 --> 0:20:54.040 Greens powder with my favorite juice, okay, with a fruit 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.000 like a banana or an apple pre workout. So before 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.719 your workout, you want quick fast side your sting energy 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:06.200 boost of that's easily accomplished through sugars um and the green. 0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.119 Our Greens powder has caffeine from green tea, so you 0:21:09.160 --> 0:21:11.560 have a more effective workout when you have a little 0:21:11.600 --> 0:21:13.480 bit of fuel and energy in the caffeine from our 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:17.280 green teeth. So I have that pre workout. Post workout, 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.760 I have a protein smoothie with our protein powder, fruit, almond, 0:21:21.760 --> 0:21:25.720 butter ice, you know, just a nice protein smothe oral 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:31.640 to protein pancakes or protein waffles or protein oatmeal. That's 0:21:31.680 --> 0:21:35.840 my morning routine always if i'm not working out, I 0:21:36.040 --> 0:21:40.120 just take away the fruit from my green so I'll 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.960 have my greens with whatever breakfast I'm having, I don't 0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:47.119 have the extra piece of fruit. Then workout wise, I 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:50.840 love to do resistance training. Weight training. It's some of 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.480 the best ways to boost your metabolism and the best 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.119 way to get shape and tone to your tonality to 0:21:57.160 --> 0:22:01.520 your body. So it definitely focus on weight training instead 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.880 of like cardio or you know a lot you get 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:08.520 a lot more result from doing heavyweight training. I found 0:22:08.520 --> 0:22:10.760 from all of the different classes and all the different 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.159 styles of training I've done. So I do an upper 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:18.440 weight day super heavy like arms and chest and upper 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:21.560 body and court, and then another day I do lower 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:25.640 body legs, foody calves and court. So at least one 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.920 upper day, one lower day, and one in one cardio 0:22:29.000 --> 0:22:30.760 day a week, so three days a week. If you 0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.680 can do that one upper day, one lower day, one 0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:36.359 cardio day, that's the perfect recipe for your workouts. And 0:22:36.359 --> 0:22:37.600 then if you want to go on a walk or 0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:40.119 hide the other day or whatever. But I always I 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:44.200 always get in those three days. For lunch and dinner, 0:22:44.320 --> 0:22:48.320 it's always the same. I do a portion of protein 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:52.240
