1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: We are living in a world that's telling women what

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: we should look like, what we should be doing. That

3
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: is making us feel unsafe, and that is destroying us for.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: Monally, Doctor Mindi Pel's I'm so excited to have you here,

5
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: and I think the work that you are doing is

6
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:16,919
Speaker 2: just so important.

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: So I experimented with these five women and I said,

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 1: let's give it ninety days of this. All of them

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: within thirty days got pregnant.

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 3: No way, And so should women be fasting?

11
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: And this is going to sound like I'm contradicting myself,

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:33,240
Speaker 1: but it's an absolute yes, and there are sometimes it's no.

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm Radivka And on my podcast A really Good Cry,

14
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 2: we embrace the messy and the beautiful, providing a space

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: for raw, unfiltered conversations that celebrate vulnerability and allow you

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: to tune in to learn, connect and find comfort together. Mindy,

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you so much for being here. I

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: have been a fan for a very long time. And

19
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 2: your Instagram videos, whatever podcast you go on seem to

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 2: be on my feed of going viral constantly. And it's

21
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: not just what you speak about your nature. Since the

22
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 2: moment you walked in the door, you have such a calm,

23
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: warm energy. So thank you so much for bringing that

24
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: into my home.

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: Oh, thank you for having me.

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: No, I really I feel like I'm so excited to

27
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: have you here. And I think the work that you

28
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,960
Speaker 2: are doing is just so important for women.

29
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 3: So thank you for what you do. So the first

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 3: question I want to ask.

31
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: You actually was what took you from a degree in

32
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: chiropractics to writing books on fasting, menopause and so many

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: more incredible topics.

34
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: This is such a good question, and it's so funny

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: because there's some questions that people don't ask me. Yeah,

36
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and I'm like, they should ask me this. Oh, and

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 1: that is.

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 3: One amazing I was so intrigued. I actually want to know.

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: So this is really interesting. What most people don't realize

40
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: is that in chiropractic school, you are literally trained that

41
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: the body heels itself.

42
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

43
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: So every single class you learn, from biochemistry to neuroanatomy,

44
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: to cardiopulmonary physiology to muscule skeletal health is all through

45
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: that lens that the body is constantly doing the right

46
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: thing at the right time. When I got into practice,

47
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I started to integrate all the different ways that people's

48
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: body gets off course and what are all the different

49
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: things that cause people's body to not heal? And we

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: call them interferences, and usually it's physical, emotional or chemical interferences.

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: And so I would sit with my patients. In my head,

52
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I was like, is this physical emotional chemical?

53
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 3: Like?

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: What is it? And I realized that was about the time,

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: I mean I was in practice, like twenty seven years ago.

56
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: It was when I started my practice. It also happened

57
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: to be when glyphosate was introduced into our food system

58
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: and was starting to be sprayed on all kinds of

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: fruits and vegetables. And I started to see, like within

60
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: the first five years of practice, that people were going

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: from coming in with one symptom to people coming in

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 1: with like ten symptoms. And so I started to look

63
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: at environmentally, like what was going on that was attacking

64
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: so many people? And that's when I realized, wait, I gotta,

65
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: I gotta we gotta work on retraining people on how

66
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: to eat. We got to figure out how to help

67
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: people detox, We got to figure out how people can

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 1: get on supplements and then get off supplements. Like I

69
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: just started thinking deeper about what was causing blocking the

70
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: body from healing itself.

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because when you hit chiropractics, you think, oh,

72
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: it's a physical body exactly, you're fix the way that

73
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: I woke, well, the way that I move. But it's

74
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: incredible that it's so much deeper than So.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: It's the number one principle of chiropractic as the body

76
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: heals itself and our job is to just remove the interference.

77
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: So like when a patient would come in and be

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: like you healed me, I'd be like, no, no, no,

79
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 1: I didn't heal you at all. You healed you. All

80
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 1: we did together was figure out what was interfering. And

81
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: with fasting, that is where I got so excited. Yeah,

82
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: because I was like, wait a second, somebody can heal

83
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: themselves without any money. I can teach the world how

84
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: a tool where their body can heal themselves and they

85
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: don't need any time or money. Those were the biggest

86
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: hurdles that I saw.

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: Healing and then fasting was something that you started studying

88
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: and came across yep.

89
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: I became obsessed with it. So there's a really famous study.

90
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: Doctor yosh Uriyosumi in twenty sixteen won the Nobel Prize

91
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 1: in Medicine and Physiology for a term called atophagy, and

92
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: it was that the cells detoxed themselves in the absence

93
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: of food. Well, at that time, I was doing so

94
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: much detox with my patients, and I was like, okay, well,

95
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: the goal of health is not to be on a

96
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: Brazilian supplements. What if I could get them to fast

97
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: and they could detox themselves without all these supplements. So

98
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: I literally, for about I don't know, five years, I

99
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 1: spent about twenty thirty hours a week on PubMed just

100
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: looking at all the studies on fasting and trying to

101
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 1: match them up and figure it out. And then my

102
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: YouTube channel was like a baby at that time, and

103
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: so I was like, well, let me just teach this

104
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: to my patients, let me teach it to the world.

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: And on YouTube, I kept asking people like, give me

106
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: your feedback, give me your feedback, tell me what you're noticing,

107
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: and people give me their feedback. And I just started

108
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: to see what was working and what wasn't working.

109
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: And that is actually the best way to see if

110
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 2: something's working or not. Right, like the fact that you

111
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: the proof is in the pudding, Like you know it's

112
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 2: working because you are seeing it with your own eyes.

113
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: You're experiencing with your own patients, and so there is

114
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: no better evidence than firsthand experience that you are having. Yeah,

115
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: you write about women fasting, specifically, you have a book

116
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,839
Speaker 2: called Fast Like a Girl. You also have a book

117
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: called Eat Like a Girl, don't you? Yes, Eat like

118
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 2: a girl or Eat like a woman?

119
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: No, no, Eat like a girl.

120
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 4: I like, a friend of mine said to me the

121
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: other day, when do I get to be a woman?

122
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I like it.

123
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: No, you don't get to be a woman. Explain why.

124
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: I'm like you would be a woman, but not when

125
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: you're reading my books.

126
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I love it. I love it. Fast like

127
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 3: a Girl, Eat Like a Guy.

128
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: And I think your most recent book is a book

129
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: based on menopause.

130
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: Right then Reset the menopause.

131
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:12,920
Speaker 1: Reset actually came, but was the first one that first,

132
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: It was the very first one because as I was

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: discovering fasting and I was playing with some Keto principles

134
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: and I was detoxing. My practice was built off what

135
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: I call the Mama bears, where all these women came

136
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: in and they're like, can you just write down what

137
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: you're teaching?

138
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 4: Is?

139
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: So I put that into the menopause research.

140
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: Amazing, so so many different topics covered, but I went

141
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: to start with fasting. Yeah, of course, and I guess

142
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 2: my first question is should women be fasting? So many

143
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: things that you can absorb online, but I would love

144
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 2: to hear from you what your experience with the has been.

145
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: This is going to sound like I'm contradicting myself, but

146
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: it's an absolute yes, and there are sometimes it's no yes.

147
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: So that's confusing because we like absolutes, I know, especially

148
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: when it comes to like a real yeah.

149
00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: No one likes duality.

150
00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: No one likes no.

151
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: One likes it, I know, but maybe right exactly, but

152
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 2: please expand. I would love to hear if women are

153
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: supposed to fast, when should we be fasting?

154
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 5: Yeah?

155
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: And what are the benefits of it?

156
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: So let's look at the primary sex hormones of that

157
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: run a woman, and they really are estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.

158
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: So the challenge that we have with every any lifestyle

159
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: tool is that estrogen and progesterone want dramatically different things.

160
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: So I always say that they're like twin sisters. They

161
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: have build the same name, we give them the same

162
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: category of family name sex hormones, but they have vastly

163
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: different personalities. So estrogen loves when you keep glucose and

164
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: insulin down. If you can keep glucose and insulin down,

165
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: estrogen thrives. Okay, she also doesn't really mind if cortisol

166
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: goes up. She's like, if you're stressed, She's like, no worries,

167
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: I can be. I can still make my appearance. I

168
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 1: can still be, you know, show up for you. O.

169
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: Progesterones completely the different, different animal. What she wants is

170
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 1: glucose to be higher, and she wants you not to

171
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: raise cortisol. Oh and intuitively we know this because what

172
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: do we do the week before our period?

173
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 3: Eat chocolate?

174
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? Do you know why we eat chocolate Because it

175
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: has magnesium in it and it's higher in sugar. And

176
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: so progesterones like, bring glucose up, give me some magnesium.

177
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: And then we start craving carbs, chocolate and sugar, and

178
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 1: then we This is the thing that drives me crazy

179
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: is because then we shame ourselves. We're like, I can't

180
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: stick to my diet. Something must be wrong.

181
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 3: Ago, yeah, perfect.

182
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: But all progesterone is saying is like I need a

183
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: little more. I need a little more glucose. I need

184
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: the it's like making think of it like baking a cake,

185
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: like you need flour. So if you're gonna make progesterone,

186
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: you need glucose. Okay, so not good to be fasting

187
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: when progesterone is showing up, But estrogen totally great. She

188
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 1: loves it. You can fast all you want when she

189
00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: shows up and.

190
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: Out of interest the workouts that you do. Does that

191
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 2: then make a difference because I imagine that if it's craving

192
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 2: a lot of glucose, If you're craving a lot of

193
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: glucose at the same time, would high intensity workouts and

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 2: those type of intense things that you're putting your body through,

195
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: would they also contradict.

196
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I love that your brain went there, And

197
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: this is what I always think with fast like a girl.

198
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: I feel like we cracked open a conversation that got

199
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,559
Speaker 1: a lot of women going. But okay, well what about

200
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 1: this and what about that? So here's the thing about

201
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 1: estrogen and workouts. When estrogen is high in our body,

202
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: our tendons and our ligaments and are very flexible. Right,

203
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 1: you can push your workout strong when estrogen shows up,

204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: which is pretty much day one through day fifteen, right,

205
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Like go ahead, do run a marathon. Push your workouts hard,

206
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: but the closer you get to ovulation, like day ten

207
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: to day fifteen, careful with your box jumps and your

208
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 1: hit training, because you could tear a muscle very or

209
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: a ligament really easily. So that's the only exception there.

210
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 3: No, I've definitely experienced that.

211
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 2: The first the week before my period, I have to

212
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 2: be so careful with how much weight I put onto

213
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: the machinefect or like if I'm doing hip thrust, then

214
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 2: actually the weight that I put, especially around my lower

215
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 2: bag or especially in my back ere or my legs,

216
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 2: I cannot do as heavyweights as I usually would because

217
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 2: I end up feeling back pain or end up injuring myself.

218
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: So I've really learned.

219
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: I lend it the hard way because I did it

220
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago where I pushed myself way

221
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: too hard, and I was like, oh, there is such

222
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 2: a pattern I'm seeing between the week before my period

223
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 2: and how much I can really push myself in my workout.

224
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is a huge one. This is going

225
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: to end the question of PMS right here, is that

226
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 1: what you are expressing is progesterone. If she could talk

227
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: to you. She would say, Hey, week before your period,

228
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I don't want you to raise cortisol too high. I

229
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: actually want you to do more of a recovery phase.

230
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: I want you to rest more. You the week before

231
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: our periods, we were meant to rest, we were meant

232
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: to raise glucose. We're not meant to push it. The

233
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: minute we push it and cortisol goes high, what happens?

234
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: I always say, progesterone goes shy, she's out. And then

235
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you were irritable because progesterone brings gabba.

236
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: So all of a sudden, we're irritable, we're starving, we

237
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: are you know, edgy. You don't want to be around us,

238
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: But that's because you're not playing by the rules that

239
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: progesterone has. And it's chill out, eat some carbs, relax, recover.

240
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Once you start bleeding, boom, Now you can go into

241
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: hyper performance mode.

242
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 2: And it's interesting that your body really does tell you

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 2: what it needs and what it wants, because those cravings come,

244
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 2: and sometimes it's not just your mind playing with you.

245
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 2: It's literally your body screaming at you, saying, I need

246
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: some more fuel, Give me some more.

247
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 3: You'll stop your dying right now.

248
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And this is where like the female part of

249
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: it really gets to my heart, because we have been

250
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 1: taught to distrust our bodies. We've been taught that our

251
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: bodies are thriving. If there's a number on the scale,

252
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: that's the number that we like. We're taught that if

253
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: we look in the mirror and we like what we see,

254
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,479
Speaker 1: or if we can put a filter on and Instagram

255
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,960
Speaker 1: and make everybody go you look so gorgeous, that that's health. No,

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: your beautiful feminine body is like giving you signals all

257
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: day long. But culturally, we haven't been taught how to

258
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: clue in.

259
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 2: I think we're also constantly taught how not to trust

260
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 2: our body, because we're told that we should always go

261
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: to other people to learn about bingo. I noticed that

262
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 2: so much growing up. I really I got to a

263
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: point where I was like, it's not that I just

264
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:50,839
Speaker 2: don't know my body. I don't know my own mind.

265
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: And if I don't know my own mind, how can

266
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 2: I know my own body? And so I think there's

267
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: been there's such an emphasis put on if you get

268
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 2: a cold or and I'm not saying not to go

269
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 2: to the doctor's people but if you cold, you get

270
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: a cough, if you get anything, listen to what someone

271
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 2: else is saying yes, rather than saying, oh, why don't

272
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 2: you try and listen to what your body is telling you,

273
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: because it's screaming at you in some way, whether it's

274
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,680
Speaker 2: through your skin, whether it's through your hair, whether it's

275
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 2: through the way that you're moving, the movement that you have.

276
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 2: Your body's trying to tell you something. But we're constantly

277
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: told to trust in other people's opinion about our own body.

278
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: Oh, I just love that you said that, because that

279
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 1: is the cruxt of every book I write, every video

280
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 1: I do, is I'm trying to explain it so women

281
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,959
Speaker 1: understand it so that they can make better choices. And

282
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: I'll use an example, a recent one for me is,

283
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: since evacuating from the fires, I've woken up every morning

284
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: an incredible anxious state and I can feel this like

285
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 1: gripping in my chest. And so for three weeks I've

286
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: been walking around like an elephant on my chest. And

287
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: so two days ago, I was meditating in the morning

288
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: and I finally took my own advice, was like, okay, body,

289
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: what do you want? What are you telling me? And

290
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: the word surrender. It came and the minute I was like,

291
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: I don't have any control over what's going on with

292
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 1: my house and the palace, sads. I have to completely surrender.

293
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 3: The pain went away.

294
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: But we can do that with every single Symptomly have

295
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: that relationship with your body of like what are you

296
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: trying to tell me, as opposed to shaming it, guilty

297
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: in it, which is what a lot of women do.

298
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: We seem to have gone through exactly the same experience

299
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 2: in the last week because I literally shared a post

300
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 2: on Instagram yesterday or day before because I woke up

301
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 2: with so much anxiety and I get that sometimes before

302
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 2: my period, it was like this overwhelming anxiety of loss.

303
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: And I spoke about it, saying that I woke up

304
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: and I was just feeling this like this unsothing feeling

305
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: of loss that I was thinking about my family and

306
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: then I was thinking about here, and there was just

307
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: so much going through my mind. And I sat before

308
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: my meditation and I literally said exactly the same way

309
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 2: as I said, I just surrender my fear and my

310
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 2: anxiety to you, like I'm surrendering it. I'm giving it

311
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 2: to you because I can't control this. That's everything that

312
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 2: I'm fearful of right now is nothing I can control,

313
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: and so I give it to you, Universe, to God.

314
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: I give it away because I can no longer hold

315
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: it in me. I don't have space for it. And

316
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 2: so but I do think it's interesting how I think

317
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 2: when there's collective anxiety and collective fear around you, energy

318
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: is so exchangeable, Like people around us are feeling that

319
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: and everybody in you know, everyone's a little bit uneasy

320
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: right now in LA. We don't realize that there's collective

321
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 2: energy that everybody ends up actually feeling and taking from

322
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: one another.

323
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: But it's just interesting that we both had that.

324
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, really almost same thing. I think the woman's woman's

325
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: body is meant to pick up on the subtle cues

326
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: collectively what's going on, and I think part of the

327
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 1: challenge that we have is that we haven't been trained

328
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 1: how to read those clues and understand them. And again,

329
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: I think a male's body is a lot more black

330
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: and white, but a woman's body is not that way.

331
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 1: And I hope people listening to this, like Honor that

332
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 1: when a symptom shows up, the best thing you can

333
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: do is ask that symptom what do you want how

334
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 1: can I listen to you as opposed to how do

335
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 1: I make you go?

336
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 3: Yes, I completely agree.

337
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask a few more questions about fasting

338
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: because I think when people hear fasting, immediately their body says,

339
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 2: oh God, like I don't think I you know, the

340
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: fear of scarcity, the fear of not having your comforts

341
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 2: in the normality that you are used to, is quite scary,

342
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: and so I guess my first question is when do

343
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: you think is a good time for people to fast?

344
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 2: What the signs and symptoms in someone's body that they

345
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: should be thinking about how doing a fast?

346
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let me go to this place first that

347
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: if people haven't heard this, this one blows their mind.

348
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:54,960
Speaker 1: We have two metabolisms. We don't just have one. We

349
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 1: have one that gets ignited when we eat food. It's

350
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: called I call it the sugar burner metabolism. And then

351
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: the other one gets ignited when we don't eat food,

352
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: and it's called the fat burner metabolism. So we are

353
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: like a hybrid car. We work off a glucose and

354
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: we work off of key tones, and we're meant to

355
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 1: metabolically switch in and out of these two different metabolisms.

356
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 1: So I'll tell you sort of the basic premise, and

357
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: then we can talk about why, how it maps to

358
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,840
Speaker 1: a woman's cycle, or even how it maps to a

359
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: menopausal cycle. So we have to understand that every sell

360
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: in our body, and including the neurons in our brain,

361
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: need glucose and they need keytnes. So when you ask

362
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: when should you fast, well, the question really is when

363
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: do you need key tones? So keytnes are there to

364
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: fire up your brain so that whenever you need mental clarity,

365
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: whenever you need calm. So check this out. When keytnes

366
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: go up, gabba goes up, so you actually calm. So

367
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: people always think the longer I go out without food,

368
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: all be in bad shape. Actually the opposite. The more

369
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: you train your body to do this, the more you'll

370
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: see that actually there's a sense of inner knowing. Like

371
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: give me example, I haven't eaten today because I knew

372
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,479
Speaker 1: I was coming down here. I didn't know what it

373
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: was going to be like to be back in LA

374
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 1: and I purposely didn't have breakfast because I'm like, I

375
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: need the key tone calm. So I was like, I

376
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 1: can do it. I'll eat dinner tonight. But that's an

377
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,679
Speaker 1: example of how I used fasting for my mental and

378
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: spiritual benefits.

379
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 2: Which is also so interesting because for I mean thousands

380
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 2: and thousands of years, monks have fasted for days and

381
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: days and days when they want to go into deep meditation.

382
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 1: So we do two times a year we do a

383
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 1: three day water fast worldwide. So we did one the

384
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: week of the fires. We had one hundred thousand people

385
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: worldwide that we're doing a three day water fly.

386
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 3: Oh and the most amazing the.

387
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,120
Speaker 5: Morning of the fire, I was supposed to lead these

388
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 5: people through webinar, and I literally in my head, I

389
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 5: was like, I just need to get to a parking

390
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 5: lot so I can pull my phone out and give

391
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 5: the webinar.

392
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,640
Speaker 1: But that, you know, the universe had a different pan

393
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: for me. But why I love doing that is there's

394
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: incredible spiritual insight because when you're not processing food, when

395
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: you're not putting all the energy to digesting food, you

396
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: become an open channel. The mind comes, the insights come in.

397
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 1: So the longer you go, it's those longer fasts you

398
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: really start to get some inner knowing that you would think,

399
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: oh my god, three days without food, I'd be dying.

400
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 1: I'd be you know it would be horrible, but actually

401
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: it's not. You enter a whole nother level of understanding

402
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 1: that you can't get when you're in the fed state.

403
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 2: Wow, I had no idea that the connection makes so

404
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: much sense.

405
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 3: Now.

406
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a lot of fast in our culture,

407
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 2: and as part of our spiritual practices, we do like

408
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 2: grain free fasts, so we'll do full one day, like

409
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: twenty four hour water fast. But yeah, when you spoke

410
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 2: about it like that, it makes complete sense.

411
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. So that's why, like in Fast Like a Girl,

412
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,239
Speaker 1: I put out six different level fasts, right, and I

413
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 1: was based they're all based off time, And what I

414
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: wanted to do with that is really allow people to choose. So, like,

415
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: if you just want to bring down some inflammation, you

416
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: want to get a little key tones, you want to

417
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: kind of just have a good little buzz, then you

418
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 1: can intermit in fast for fifteen hours, you're good.

419
00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

420
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: If you want to repair your gut, then go a

421
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: little longer, get twenty four hours, you're gonna get some

422
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: gut repair. If you want to go thirty six, then

423
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna burn a little more fat. If you want

424
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 1: to like get yourself a new dopamine system and like

425
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 1: reboot it, then go forty eight hours, and if you

426
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,360
Speaker 1: want to reset your whole system, then do seventy two.

427
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

428
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: And my question to that is a lot of women

429
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 2: that I know had gone through yo yo dieting throughout

430
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 2: their life and that actually, from my understanding, really messed

431
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: up their metabolism. And so when you end up doing

432
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: these fast how does that compare to this idea of

433
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: starving your body for short pairs of time and then

434
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 2: going back to food and then you know that actually

435
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: messing up your metabolism to this, how does this affect

436
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: the metabolism?

437
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's such a good question. So when I look

438
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: at the fasting lifestyle, I look at it in a

439
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 1: twenty four hour period. I look at it every day.

440
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: I have a window in which I fast, and I

441
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: look at I have a window in which I eat.

442
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: So today I'm in my fasting window. But then when

443
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: I land in my hotel tonight, I will open up

444
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 1: my eating window. When you open your eating window up, eat.

445
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: This is not calorie restriction. This isn't even carb restriction.

446
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: You can go and get keytones without restricting carbs this way,

447
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: but you have to start looking at food as medicine

448
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: and seeing that you want to eat good, nourishing food,

449
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: and then you want to look at these as fasting

450
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: windows you're tacking onto your day. Now, let's juxtapose that

451
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: to the woman who's like has maybe and everybody's eating

452
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: disorder behavior will look different. But a lot of women

453
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: will get up, they'll have a little bit of breakfast,

454
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,239
Speaker 1: and then they won't eat all day long, and then

455
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 1: maybe they'll have a snack at three and then maybe

456
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: they'll eat something at you know, a little something at

457
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 1: seven o'clock at night. Well, they're not fasting. That's not fasting,

458
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: that's disordered eating. That's restricting calories in a different way.

459
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: So I like to look at it as windows. So

460
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: and every morning I wake up, I'm like, when am

461
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: I going to eat? When am I going to open

462
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: up that eating window? And then every time I open

463
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: up the eating window, I go, Okay, what does my

464
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: body need? So I'm like, if I need more? Have

465
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 1: I eaten enough greens? Okay? Maybe I need to eat

466
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: more greens. Have I had enough protein? Maybe I need

467
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: to eat more protein. So I start looking at food

468
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: as medicine and fasting as tapping into an internal healing

469
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 1: experience that my body can only do in the absence of.

470
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 3: Food and with intermittent fasting. So I intimate and fast.

471
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: I you know, usually stop eating by six o'clock and

472
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 2: then I eat again, maybe at like ten or eleven.

473
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 3: Am perfect.

474
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: But is that something you can do throughout your menstro

475
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 2: cycle or should it? Should you not be doing it?

476
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: You know, the week before your period?

477
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, the week before is the outlier. Your system works

478
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: great for every week except the week before. Okay, so

479
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: you should be eating something when you first get up,

480
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,159
Speaker 1: and specifically carbs, but I call them nature's carbs. I

481
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: have not found too many reasons for us to be

482
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 1: doing refined flowers and sugars unless it's like a fermented

483
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: sour dough or something like that.

484
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.

485
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 2: I last week, I remember I was saying, I don't

486
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 2: know why I'm so hungry.

487
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 3: At the moment.

488
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:32,239
Speaker 2: And you know what, no matter whether you track your

489
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 2: period or not, for some reason, for my whole team,

490
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 2: who are women, they're like, it was just such a

491
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: surprise when my period. Okay, you know you always end

492
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: up getting surprised, But for me, I was like, I

493
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 2: don't know why I'm so hungry this week or these

494
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: couple of days, and then my period comes out. Oh,

495
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: that's why I was hungry.

496
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: So there's a beautiful moment where you can be like,

497
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 1: why am I so hungry?

498
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 5: Ok?

499
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: Okay, progest round? What do you need from me today?

500
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 3: Yes?

501
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: And so then you can tap in and like just

502
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 1: start asking your body what it needs during that time.

503
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,399
Speaker 1: We haven't been taught that right, and we're like taught like,

504
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so hungry today, I must be undisciplined,

505
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm trying to free women from.

506
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree.

507
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 2: Has I been anything surprising after all the years of

508
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,640
Speaker 2: seeing different patients and seeing women go through this, what's

509
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 2: been one of the most surprising things that you found

510
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: out through the resets you've done?

511
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: Oh my god? Okay, Well for starters fertility, Yes, the

512
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 1: fasting cycle that I did in Fast Like a Girl.

513
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: I had taken five of my employees who were struggling

514
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,200
Speaker 1: to get pregnant through that fasting cycle.

515
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 3: Which one is it in your book?

516
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 1: It's in my book and Fast Like a Girl. And

517
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 1: then I carried it over and Eat like a Girl.

518
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: They're kind of companion manuals. One's the fasting window, one's

519
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,640
Speaker 1: the eating window. And so I had this cycle where

520
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: you go high carb, low carb, long fast, short fast,

521
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: and so I experimented with these five women and I said,

522
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: let's get that ninety days of this. All of them

523
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: within thirty days got pregnant. No, And so then when

524
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: Fasaga Girl went out, I was like, Okay, what's the

525
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: what's going to happen? And so all the amount of

526
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: people that sent me messages saying that they got pregnant

527
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 1: shocked me.

528
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:14,879
Speaker 3: Oh, I have to share that with a few of

529
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 3: my friends.

530
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: Actually, So that was one the number of postmenopausal women

531
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: that got a period after ten years of not having

532
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 1: a period. No, that shocked me. That was a crazy

533
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: shod shot. I would say. People losing like ridiculous amounts

534
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: of weight, Like I wish there was a way I

535
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:39,240
Speaker 1: could go to my YouTube channel and maybe with AI

536
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: someday I'll be able to do this and extract the

537
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: amount of weight people have lost, but hundreds of pounds

538
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: when people tried everything else and nothing worked.

539
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: Those are great ones.

540
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so weight loss, fertility, and menopause. Yeah, what

541
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 2: is the difference between men fasting and women fasting. Then

542
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 2: how does that differ. Would a man be able to

543
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 2: follow the same protocol that you've got there and get

544
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 2: similar results?

545
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could, but you know he doesn't. Really The

546
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: fasting cycles a little more sophisticated because we have three

547
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: sex hormones that we run off of. They don't have progesterone,

548
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,880
Speaker 1: so men don't have progesterone. So we've already talked about

549
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: how she's an outline. Yes, but men work off a

550
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: twenty four hour hormonal cycle, so every fifteen minutes they

551
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,199
Speaker 1: get a little pulse of testosterone and testosterone goes up

552
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: into the brain and converts to estrogen. For men, testosterone

553
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,520
Speaker 1: doesn't really mind if you fast, and so it seems

554
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 1: to be that they just need to make sure they

555
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: don't fast all the time. And it's really every man's

556
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: a little different, but we are or way more sophisticated.

557
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 4: The example I use, and the women love it and

558
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 4: the men don't, is that a woman's body is like

559
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 4: a sophisticated violin, and a man's body is like a kazoo.

560
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give it a recorder. I used to say,

561
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: a ukulele. It's just you can play it. It's very simple,

562
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: it's late to hear. It does its job. But a

563
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: woman's body is like, it's we're so intricate. And this

564
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 1: is why we're at this weird evolutionary mismatch right now,

565
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: because the modern world is throwing so much physical, emotional

566
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,959
Speaker 1: chemical stress at us that our hormones are like what

567
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 1: WHOA We don't know how to respond to what's coming

568
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: at us. A male's body has one priority, and that's survival,

569
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: so the body will work off, always tilting towards survival.

570
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:46,479
Speaker 1: A woman's body has two priorities, survival and reproduction. So

571
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: whatever environment you put yourself in, if you are in

572
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 1: a you know, running from fires and cortisol's going up,

573
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,959
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your reproductive system goes down. Whereas

574
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: a man that doesn't happen as much, his hormonal system's

575
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: not going to go off because stress goes up. If

576
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: a man eats, you know, the wrong foods, eats too

577
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: many carbs, not going to be a problem unless it's

578
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: like a really you know, bad ultra refined processed food carb.

579
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: A woman's body, she eats too many carbs over and

580
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: over and over again, she that might be a problem.

581
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: If she's too diety, that might be a problem. What

582
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: we need to all think, regardless of what age we're at,

583
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: is we need to think when I'm moving through my day,

584
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 1: am I in environments where my body feels safe? And

585
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: if it feels safe and nourished, then your reproductive system

586
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 1: will work.

587
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: What do you think some of the main causes of

588
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: you know, the number of women that are having, like

589
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: you said, hormonal issues disorders because of that polycystic overy syndrome,

590
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 2: thyroid issues. You know from what you've seen, What do

591
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: you think of some of the main reasons that women

592
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 2: are going through these these hormonal discs is so.

593
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 5: I can give you the philosophical reason that I can

594
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 5: give you the Okay, So.

595
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with the philosophical one, because this is

596
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: really the tenets of the book I'm writing right now.

597
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: We live in a patriarchal society. To me, what the

598
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: patriarch means power over that we have structures in place

599
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: that say you are worthy as a woman if you

600
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 1: look a certain way, if you weigh a certain thing,

601
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 1: if your face is smooth and beautiful, and so we

602
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: are living in a world that's telling women what we

603
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: should look like what we should.

604
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 3: Be doing dictated.

605
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: Yes, that is making us feel unsafe, and the minute

606
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: we feel unsafe, our reproductive system shuts down. In my

607
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 1: new book that will come out at the end of

608
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: this year, I'm really quoting a feminist philosopher named Carol Gilligan,

609
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 1: and she in the nineteen eighties looked at teenage girls

610
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: that was me in the nineteen eighties, and found that

611
00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: the patriarchal society taught girls and I think they still

612
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: we still teach girls this, that you are a good

613
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: girl if you are selfless. Yes, So as women, what

614
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 1: do we do? We wrap ourselves up in all kinds

615
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: of ways to like, be like, am I worthy?

616
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 5: Now?

617
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: If I look a certain way, we love me. If

618
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 1: I act a certain way, we love me. If I'm

619
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: successful enough, we love me. So many women are walking

620
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: around like that, and that is destroying us hormonally, and

621
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 1: so we can't get pregnant, we can't lose weight. We

622
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: have an insane amount of menopausal symptoms because we are

623
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: trying to wrap ourselves up to be acceptable to a

624
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: patriarchal society that says you need to look like Barbie right, Like,

625
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: there's only one way to act one way to be

626
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: so from a philosophical lens, I feel like it's really

627
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: the culture. And why I'm so adamant about this is

628
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: it takes conversations like this for us individually to break

629
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: out of that and say, like, I mean, I'm the fires.

630
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: I'll keep using it because it's what I've been through.

631
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: About four days after the fire, as I was running

632
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: from the fire, people kept sending me texts and they're like,

633
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: are you okay? Are you okay? Finally, on that Friday,

634
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 1: which the fires happened on Tuesday. On Friday, I was like,

635
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: peace out, I am not okay. So I just started

636
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: saying I'm not okay. You know how liberating it was

637
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: to say it wasn't okay, Like I don't have to

638
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 1: pretend for you all now that I'm okay. I'm just

639
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 1: gonna let you know I'm not okay. And then I

640
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: started having so many women messaging me and they're like,

641
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: I wasn't in a fire evacuation, but I'm not okay,

642
00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: and thank you for saying you're not okay, because I

643
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: haven't been okay for a really long time. We don't

644
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: have a culture well where women can just say I

645
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: don't want to play that patriarchal game anymore. I'm really suffering.

646
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: I need to nurture myself. I need to find myself.

647
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 1: I want to have my own authentic voice here. Once

648
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 1: we do that, hormones will start to balance better.

649
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 2: It's so interesting that you said, you know, when you

650
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 2: said unsafe, I was thinking, we think about that in

651
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 2: our environment, We think about that in our relationships. You

652
00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: can say this person makes me feel safe, this house

653
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 2: makes me feel safe, walking down this street makes me

654
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,320
Speaker 2: feel safe. But I don't know whether we ever really

655
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 2: sit there and think is this making my internal system

656
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 2: feel safe? Like is my digestive system feeling safe?

657
00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: Is you know?

658
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 2: And I think you have this nervous system that you

659
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 2: sometimes listen to, maybe sometimes you don't, but you don't

660
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 2: think of food and what you're eating and those things

661
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 2: to think. You don't think about safety in that nature

662
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: that sense, like oh, when I don't eat, it's actually

663
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 2: making my body feel unsafe. Or when I do eat this,

664
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 2: it's actually making my body feel unsafe.

665
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: Right, So safety you have to be in a state

666
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 1: of safety for your reproductive system, because otherwise the female

667
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: body is like, we're not making a baby. Yes, why

668
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: would we make a baby right now? We're not even

669
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,320
Speaker 1: feeling safe. So you bring up such a good point.

670
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: You could walk into your grocery store, grab a bag

671
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: of Doritos and a coke, and you have just sent

672
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 1: a signal to your body that you're not safe, that

673
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 1: you're not safe.

674
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, Like, do we look at food like that?

675
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,360
Speaker 2: No, but what an incredible way to change your mindset

676
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 2: and thinking like that. And when you paired it with

677
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: you know, fertility, it makes so much sense. Your body's

678
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,040
Speaker 2: constantly sending signals through every single thing that you allow

679
00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 2: through your senses. That's right, whether you are safe or

680
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 2: not saying.

681
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, So your home environment, the people you hang out with,

682
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 1: like this is why you know, it's interesting. We've had

683
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: some chats about social media, but like on social media,

684
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about this, but it's

685
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of a double edged sword. I'm like,

686
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: what you see on social media is authentically me. I

687
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: don't put filters on. I'm like, this is a fifty

688
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 1: five year old woman. Because what is happening to especially

689
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,719
Speaker 1: our teenagers, is we go to Instagram and we're like,

690
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 1: I can't be that person. And now you just picked

691
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: up your phone and you feel unsafe.

692
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: You do you really do necessity?

693
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 2: I think I don't think there's many people that can

694
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 2: say they've scrolled through social media for fifteen minutes and

695
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: that they feel safe from that whole interaction.

696
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: Ooh, that's so well seved.

697
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: Yeah really, I don't think so. I mean, I can

698
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 2: speak for myself. It's whether it's you know, it's funny

699
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,479
Speaker 2: because I'm turning thirty five this year and I'm like, yeah,

700
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 2: you notice your bodies start changing, and by the time

701
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 2: you hit your thirties, you start thinking that you are

702
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: aging because of how social media creates that feeling. And

703
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: not that I think that's the bad thing. I feel

704
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 2: the same way as you am, really like embracing every

705
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: single year and trying to live that way. But I

706
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,640
Speaker 2: think that that narrative starts from twenties.

707
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,280
Speaker 3: Now. It's like from twenty you're thinking about the eighteen

708
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 3: year old.

709
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: Yeah. So here's a question that I can't find an

710
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: answer to. Okay, yeah, and so I've been like asking

711
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: people and trying to figure it out. Is in women,

712
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: what does wisdom look like? How do you know you're

713
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: sitting with a wise woman.

714
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: How do you know you're sitting with a wise woman

715
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:09,160
Speaker 3: and just.

716
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: On looks, just on looks, she's not talking, she's not talking. Oh,

717
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: you just know you're with a wise woman.

718
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 2: But I think about my grandma who's like ninety two

719
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 2: years old, and just by looking at her, not including

720
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 2: like energy, right, just by looking at them. Yeah, I

721
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 2: guess it is honestly, by like the incredible lines on

722
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 2: her face, by the beautiful head of gray hair that

723
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,640
Speaker 2: she has that she owns. Yeah, And I think there's

724
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: like a gentleness to that too.

725
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: There's a safety, there's a peacefulness. They've been through a.

726
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: Lot, she's been through a lot, yes, so she has an.

727
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,760
Speaker 1: Inner knowing that you can feel just when you're with Definitely. Okay,

728
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,919
Speaker 1: So let's think about that for a moment. If everybody

729
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: freezes their face, how will we find the wisdom keepers?

730
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: If everybody dyes their hair? Where we we know people

731
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 1: by their wisdom strands? I callbrate here. I love that with, like,

732
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: how can we find the wise female elders if everybody

733
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: is freezing their face?

734
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's so true, and you're just constantly hiding from it,

735
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: and then at some point you can't you know, Yeah,

736
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 2: there's a point where you just can't stop hiding from

737
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: it because it's age is just that you know, in

738
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: our scriptures it says there's only four things that are

739
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 2: certain death, birth, old, age, death, and disease. Like they're

740
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 2: the only four things that are actually certain in this life,

741
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 2: and so you have to start coming to terms with

742
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 2: all of them, like they are all part and parcel

743
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 2: of night, not life, not something that you're supposed to

744
00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 2: be running away from, right, right, They're meant to be

745
00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 2: things that you embrace.

746
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

747
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

748
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 1: I hit me one day, like we have this anti

749
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,279
Speaker 1: aging culture, and I was like, it doesn't feel like

750
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: we should be anti aging. We should be pro aging.

751
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 1: We're all aging. And then I was looking through my

752
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 1: Instagram and I was thinking about like what sometimes those

753
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Aboriginal women will come through and.

754
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,280
Speaker 2: A beautiful so beautiful and right, and you really feel

755
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 2: something when you look at them, Like if you take.

756
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: Like an Aboriginal woman with like so many wrinkles, and

757
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,839
Speaker 1: I look at that and I'm like, I wish those

758
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: wrinkles could speak. I wish that what would they say

759
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: compared to a woman who has a completely frozen face.

760
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: I would like, I don't know what you have to offer.

761
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:18,919
Speaker 3: Me because they're expression lines.

762
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 2: I remember reading somewhere It's like, every single line represents

763
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 2: the laughs that you've had, the experiences that you've been through,

764
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,239
Speaker 2: the conversations you've had with people, the shocks that you've had.

765
00:37:30,280 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: The surprise is like, that is what these lines are.

766
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: They're the lines of expression, that's right, the things that

767
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 2: you have felt showing up on your body, that's right.

768
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 3: I thought that was such a beautiful way of putting it.

769
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:42,919
Speaker 1: I went through a phase in my late forties where

770
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:46,480
Speaker 1: I was like wrestling with botox no boyah, And I

771
00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: had people, you can know this as an influencer that

772
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 1: I had people literally messaging me DM and me and saying,

773
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,360
Speaker 1: you should probably botox. I'm the same age as you,

774
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 1: and you have more wrinkles than me. And one day

775
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: I was sitting with my husband and I was like,

776
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:02,839
Speaker 1: I just am wrestling with this because I don't want

777
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: to put toxins in me. And he looked at my

778
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,960
Speaker 1: elevens up here and he said, you know what that

779
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 1: when I look at you and I see your elevens,

780
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,240
Speaker 1: I know how deeply you have thought about issues.

781
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 3: Oh my god. I loved him he's wonderful.

782
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: I was like, thank you. I hadn't thought about that

783
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,399
Speaker 1: if I made my elevens go away? And then how

784
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 1: would you know how deeply I'm thinking about things? And

785
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: so I think it comes down again to worthy, Like

786
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200
Speaker 1: we're taught that what is worthiness? And that might be

787
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 1: even another question to ask is like what does worthiness

788
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: look like for women?

789
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: And what does health look like?

790
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: Like?

791
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 2: You know, the same battle you've had, I've had at

792
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: my age, thinking of oh, should should I go into

793
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 2: certain treatments and do certain things? And I feel the

794
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:48,839
Speaker 2: same way about you. I don't want to put those

795
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 2: things into my body, and I also want to learn

796
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 2: how to embrace who I am at every stage. But

797
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: I think this battle that people go through, it's like

798
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 2: you're also constantly tell yourself. The more you move away

799
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 2: from who you are, you're telling yourself you're not worthy.

800
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: That's like that every time you're trying to hide certain

801
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 2: things on your face. And I think about that even

802
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: when I got like a spot on my face or

803
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,719
Speaker 2: I used to get cold soores, and I used to

804
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: constantly try and like hide myself from people when I

805
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: was going through those things. And with aging, it's like

806
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 2: if you're constantly hiding yourself, you are not accepting yourself,

807
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 2: and so it's a really difficult battle. And by the way,

808
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 2: this is not you know, this is not criticizing anybody

809
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,919
Speaker 2: who's chosen to get anything like that done. But it's

810
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: more of like a reflection of am I trying to

811
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 2: hide away from myself? Because then you're also not coming

812
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 2: to terms with who you are, Like you are not

813
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 2: accepting yourself so beautiful, and so then as soon as

814
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,080
Speaker 2: you don't accept yourself, it's really difficult to find people

815
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,560
Speaker 2: who also accept you for your own value.

816
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: This is why I love conversations like this, because I

817
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,719
Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about that. You know, eighty percent of

818
00:39:54,719 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 1: autoimmune conditions happen to women, wh and an autoimmune condition

819
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 1: is the body attacking itself. Oh my god, it's not

820
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:08,359
Speaker 1: just a physical attack. It's not just a genetic thing.

821
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: But to you what you just said, if every day

822
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,240
Speaker 1: I look in the mirror and I want to change

823
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 1: something or I criticize myself, I'm attacking myself.

824
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 3: With my own thoughts.

825
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm literally looking at myself and I'm rejecting myself.

826
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: So imagine every day you look at your partner, and

827
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 2: they're rejecting you every single day, every time they saw you. Right, Yeah,

828
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 2: I've been really trying to change that narrative. Jay asked

829
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 2: me this morneing. He goes, have you been doing any

830
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 2: positive affirmations lately? He said, he's really been trying to

831
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 2: practice them in his mind. And I said, you know,

832
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: the only I wouldn't say I'm be doing positive affirmations,

833
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 2: but I've been doing a lot of correction. And so

834
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: whether that's looking in the mirror and I say something

835
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 2: that I isn't actually very nice, I will try and

836
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 2: correct it with something positive, like change the narrative in

837
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,720
Speaker 2: my mind, which hopefully lead to positive affirmations. But sometimes

838
00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 2: it's hard to have. If you've got a narrative that's

839
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,440
Speaker 2: in your mind regularly, it's hard to automatically go to

840
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 2: something positive, and so to work my way towards that,

841
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, I think what I'm really trying right

842
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: now is correction. I see myself, I'm like, oh, the

843
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:07,720
Speaker 2: first thing I noticed was this thing on my face.

844
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: But then I'm trying to correct it with what you're saying.

845
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 2: I'm like, it's expression, Like, it's expression, Yeah, it's this

846
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: it's that, and so the correction has really helped me

847
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: versus trying to just constantly, like positively affirm when I

848
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,799
Speaker 2: don't necessarily feel as positive about it.

849
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:21,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, as I should.

850
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: When I was about your age, I started to like

851
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 1: think about how I look in the mirror very different.

852
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: And one thing I realized is that I every time

853
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,040
Speaker 1: I would get dressed or wash my face or get

854
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,320
Speaker 1: ready for bed, I would look in the mirror and

855
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: I would find the thing I didn't like. Yes, And

856
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,560
Speaker 1: I was like, one day, I was like, what if

857
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: I find the thing I do like? Yeah, And so

858
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 1: I started training my brain to just go, Okay, I

859
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 1: like that. I like that. I like that. And it's

860
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: hard at first because you're like, I like that, but

861
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: I hate that.

862
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,360
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's like no, basface, but wait.

863
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's okay. That's okay. You can hate something.

864
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:59,640
Speaker 1: But if you train yourself over time to look in

865
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,799
Speaker 1: the mirror and be like, oh I love that. Yeah,

866
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm so grateful for that, it really over time you'll

867
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: change the way you look.

868
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: At your fixation changes.

869
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 2: I wanted to ask one more question about fasting and

870
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 2: then move on to menopause, but I have a lot

871
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:15,319
Speaker 2: of Muslim friends who fast the thirty days Ramadan, and

872
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:16,879
Speaker 2: I guess one of my questions I want to ask

873
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:19,440
Speaker 2: was they're always asking me as the nutrition is like

874
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 2: what are the best foods I should be eating when

875
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: I come off my fast because they're fast loss from

876
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 2: sunrise to sunset? And so what are some of the

877
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 2: foods that people who are doing this fast for Ramadan

878
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: that they should be eating when they break their fast?

879
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 1: So I always break break in a fast into three categories,

880
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: and one is are you trying to rebuild your microbiome?

881
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 1: So you have a really cool opportunity because when you're

882
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,840
Speaker 1: not eating, all the bad ones start to die off

883
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: and the good ones are like feed me, feed me,

884
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: So more probiotic, fermented foods, more polyphenol foods like olives

885
00:42:53,239 --> 00:42:57,040
Speaker 1: and nuts and seeds and berries, and more prebiotic foods,

886
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:59,439
Speaker 1: which is also nuts and seeds. I list a bunch

887
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: of women both books. But think about feeding your bacteria,

888
00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:03,880
Speaker 1: not your taste buds.

889
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,800
Speaker 3: Yes, big difference, big difference.

890
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I don't know if they eat meat,

891
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,399
Speaker 1: but if they do meat, bone broth is incredible because

892
00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: it has glycine in it and it starts to actually

893
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,839
Speaker 1: repair the inner lining of the gut. You can do

894
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: mushroom broth, vegetable broth. Broths are really good to break

895
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: a fast with.

896
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 3: Too amazing.

897
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 2: And is it something which should they be aiming not

898
00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: to eat too much during that period of time that

899
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: they're eating, or like you said, should they be getting

900
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:31,000
Speaker 2: in as much as possible?

901
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, get in as much as possible, Like nourish yourself.

902
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 1: Food is not bad. It's what we did to food

903
00:43:36,719 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 1: that made it bad. Yes, But if you go back

904
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: to nature's food and like look at things that haven't

905
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,600
Speaker 1: been manipulated, things that don't have an ingredient label, those

906
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: are going to be the things that are going to

907
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: nourish you the most. So the microbiome is one. Muscle

908
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: is another one. That's a big thing that I hear

909
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: a lot of people say, Well, isn't fasting going to

910
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 1: break your muscle down? Yes, Well, in the moment of fasting,

911
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 1: it will. That's the purpose is to get get rid

912
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 1: of the garbage and the muscle that's not serving it.

913
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 1: So you want to add in a lot of protein.

914
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: So if you're plant based, then make sure you add

915
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: in your plant based proteins and if you're omnivore, add

916
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 1: in your animal meat. And then the third one is

917
00:44:13,239 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: really interesting because a lot of people boomerang. So a

918
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: lot of people do this thing where they're like, you know,

919
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 1: they start to eat and they're like, oh my god,

920
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna eat everything, and even if it's ramadan

921
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: or not. So I always say, make sure it has

922
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:27,879
Speaker 1: some fat in it.

923
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 3: Okay, So I.

924
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,840
Speaker 1: Drizzle, like my first meal in, I drizzle tons of

925
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: olive oil on it so that my blood sugar doesn't

926
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: go up and then crash, and now I'm craving something.

927
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 2: Sweeting and then you don't feel good either. Okay, Yeah,

928
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 2: that's great advice, Thank you. I want to move on

929
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: to menopause. Yes, I guess my first question is I

930
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 2: think a lot of women, you know my age, are

931
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: starting to be more curious about it, wanting to learn

932
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: more about it. Can you tell us what menopause is?

933
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 2: And then also what's the average age are you finding

934
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: that women are going into menopause?

935
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I love the way you ask this question

936
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: because I think that we have the conversation all wrong

937
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:09,280
Speaker 1: right now around menopause. So, starting at thirty five, your

938
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 1: first hormone that's going to go down as progesterone. So

939
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: the challenge with that is you start to feel like

940
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,360
Speaker 1: you did some anxiety. You're maybe a little more hungry

941
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 1: the week before your period. So it's sort of the

942
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: beginning of the whole experience. So this is why we

943
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,919
Speaker 1: need to know how to cater to her. So that's

944
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:32,120
Speaker 1: that's the first one. Then about forty your ovaries, if

945
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: they could speak, they're like, Hey, I'm gonna go into retirement.

946
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,760
Speaker 1: I only have like a certain amount of eggs left.

947
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 1: It's gonna take me about ten years to like fully retire.

948
00:45:43,040 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: And in that time, I'm going to hand over the

949
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 1: job of making sex hormones to other organs. I'm gonna

950
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: hand it over to the adrenals. I'm gonna hand it

951
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: over to some peripheral tissues in your body, and slowly,

952
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: over time, I'm going to back away. This is when

953
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: estrogen's she's down, she's up, she's down. As somebody you

954
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: probably experienced this with curly hair. When I was going

955
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 1: through perry menopause. It would be like one day my

956
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 1: hair was fluffy and curly, the next day was stick straight.

957
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 3: That's me on an average day, going on humidity.

958
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, there I go. But I was like, oh

959
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: my gosh, Like one day your skin is moist, the

960
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:22,760
Speaker 1: next day your skin is completely dry. So estra dial

961
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: the hormone that goes away, that version of estrogen that

962
00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: goes away in menopause. She actually stimulates a whole bunch

963
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 1: of neurotransmitters. She stimulates dopamine and serotonin and acetocholine. She

964
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: brings collagen there. She makes you insulin sensitive. So if

965
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: she's like on this wild ride up and down, it's

966
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: your Your lifestyle has to change, right, And I think

967
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: that's kind of the biggest thing that we're missing in

968
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 1: the conversation is that thirty five is the moment you

969
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 1: need to think of your lifestyle different. Wow, you need

970
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 1: more rest and recovery the week before your period, and

971
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: you're going to need to become more glucose sensitive on

972
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: the beginning half of your cycle so that you can

973
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: make sure that estrogen isn't going too low or too high.

974
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,400
Speaker 1: So there's what I'd love to see the culture talking

975
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: about is that there's a lifestyle change that happens in

976
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: this process. Because reproductively, that chapter is closing, and any

977
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:27,800
Speaker 1: woman that wants to have a baby in the forties.

978
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying you can't, but it is a closing

979
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 1: down of a moment that you've been in, which leads

980
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 1: me kind of to the other piece of menopause that

981
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm really feeling. Sad. Isn't being talked to enough? Is

982
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 1: that women humans live forty two point five percent of

983
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 1: our life in post reproductively. We are the longest living species.

984
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 1: We live forty two percent of our life without a

985
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 1: reproductive system.

986
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 3: Okay, why Yeah.

987
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 1: So it's because this is a metamorphois. This is a

988
00:48:05,280 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: moment that we can transition into a different version of ourself.

989
00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:12,479
Speaker 1: I believe this is the moment we take our power back.

990
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: This is the moment we live life through our less

991
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, this is the time we stop adapting to

992
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 1: a culture that has us adapting in all kinds of

993
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,200
Speaker 1: weird ways, and we step into our own power and

994
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: we go, hey, I'm going to live life my way now.

995
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:31,280
Speaker 1: And when you look at the statistics, they're not great

996
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: for that process. Like forty five to fifty five is

997
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:37,560
Speaker 1: the most common time a woman will kill herself.

998
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:38,839
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, no way.

999
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:42,799
Speaker 1: So why is that? I believe it's because we are

1000
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 1: coming into our own selves. We're coming into our own

1001
00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: version of ourself, and we may all of a sudden

1002
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,800
Speaker 1: realize that the life we created is one that isn't

1003
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: congruent with the person we want to become. So and

1004
00:48:56,800 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: statistics like after fifty sixty five of divorces are initiated

1005
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 1: by women.

1006
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've had about that.

1007
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 1: Like, I think that's because women are changing. We change

1008
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:11,799
Speaker 1: through the menopausal process, and the marriages that survive are

1009
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: the ones that understand that the spouse is turning into

1010
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: a butterfly, right, She's going into a new version of herself.

1011
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 1: This is my whole next book, because I think we've

1012
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: made it to mechanical. I think menopause is a spiritual

1013
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:28,440
Speaker 1: journey and it's a returning back to yourself.

1014
00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 3: I agree.

1015
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,800
Speaker 2: You know, I saw my mom go through menopause and

1016
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,680
Speaker 2: she's now in her late sixties and she no, she's

1017
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:42,799
Speaker 2: tenning seventy. I think, yeah, and she is just come

1018
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 2: into the best version of herself that I've ever been,

1019
00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: that I've ever seen exactly, And it was because, I mean,

1020
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: my dad is incredible. He's so supportive, so loving, he

1021
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 2: is just phenomenal. But I also think she gave herself

1022
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 2: this second life, like she chose to not slow down,

1023
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,880
Speaker 2: not slow down in terms of like, you know, she's retired,

1024
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: but she created a new life for herself by seven

1025
00:50:04,880 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: community and so like this whole new version of herself

1026
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 2: has come through and my dad helps her with it,

1027
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 2: and it's just beautiful because you know, I think for

1028
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: a lot of people, if they don't have community, you

1029
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 2: end up feeling like after the age of sixty or seventy,

1030
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,920
Speaker 2: it's like, I guess I've gotten a purpose here?

1031
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:23,439
Speaker 3: What am I supposed to do here?

1032
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:23,839
Speaker 1: Right?

1033
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,520
Speaker 2: And I think that can really affect once your children leave,

1034
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,680
Speaker 2: you know, your children, and your children go off, they've

1035
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:31,120
Speaker 2: got their own life. Then it's just you know, you

1036
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 2: and your husband and you and your partner, and you're like,

1037
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 2: what do I do now? And so there's this whole

1038
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,879
Speaker 2: like crisis that comes that you go through. But when

1039
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,920
Speaker 2: you end up trying to find a new purpose, like

1040
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,280
Speaker 2: you're speaking about, whether it's spiritual, whether it's community based,

1041
00:50:45,719 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 2: you end up feeling like, oh this life, like now

1042
00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 2: I have so much more meaning in my life and

1043
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 2: there's something that is coming from this.

1044
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: Have you heard of the grandmother hypothesis.

1045
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 3: I think so, but tell me about it.

1046
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 1: Okay. So this is part again part of my new book.

1047
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,160
Speaker 1: Is something that a lot of menopuzzle leaders have talked about.

1048
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: But I think if we break it down a little

1049
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: bit more, we can explain what happened to your mom.

1050
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 1: So the grandmother hypothesis is a hypothesis that the reason

1051
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: that we live so long in those peace post reproductive

1052
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,800
Speaker 1: time is because we're supposed to be leaders of the culture.

1053
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 1: Right And if you go back to the evolutionary tribal

1054
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,080
Speaker 1: you know, cave man woman days, what happened was that

1055
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: typically the man would go out and hunt. What's interesting

1056
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 1: about that, And this is gonna sound really sexist, so

1057
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,880
Speaker 1: hang in here for people who were like, what so.

1058
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:39,279
Speaker 1: But he would go out and he would hunt, and

1059
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:41,319
Speaker 1: only three percent of the time he would come back

1060
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:44,839
Speaker 1: with a kill. Staying at home around the around the

1061
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,120
Speaker 1: in the clan was the fertile woman who was either

1062
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 1: nursing babies, growing babies, or tending to babies. Right then,

1063
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,080
Speaker 1: we had a whole bunch of toddlers that needed to

1064
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 1: be cared for. And because they only came back with

1065
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,560
Speaker 1: food three percent of the time, we need somebody go

1066
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:05,279
Speaker 1: find food. So when the idea is that the grandmother

1067
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 1: was the one that actually went and found the food,

1068
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:13,280
Speaker 1: the grandmother was the one that took care of the clan.

1069
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: So in the absence of a reproductive system, there is

1070
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 1: an energy that is given back to women. And the

1071
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 1: grandmother hypothesis says that we put it in three areas.

1072
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: We can put it in fitness, which is totally blows

1073
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: the whole idea that we should physically slow down, But

1074
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,360
Speaker 1: in the tribal days, they needed or in the cave

1075
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,439
Speaker 1: person day days, they needed to be able to go

1076
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:41,400
Speaker 1: and get food and walk long distances. Second thing they

1077
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: used it for was cognition that extra energy and we

1078
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:48,759
Speaker 1: needed to go figure out They specifically pulled out tubers,

1079
00:52:49,080 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 1: which are sweet potatoes sun chokes, so you had to

1080
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: go be able to figure out where the tubers were.

1081
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: And the third thing we used it for was social.

1082
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 1: So in the grandmother high pothesis, what happens is women

1083
00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 1: start in their elder years, start rallying around each other.

1084
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 3: This is your mom, my grandma as well.

1085
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 2: My grandma started like a whole kind of grandma club

1086
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 2: where her and her friends would get together do spiritual

1087
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,600
Speaker 2: prayers together, they'd sing together, they'd dance together. And my

1088
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 2: mom also the that's so funny you said fitness, because

1089
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,680
Speaker 2: she has She used to be a fitness instructor when

1090
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 2: I was really young. She hasn't done it for like

1091
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 2: twenty years. Someone found out. I must have spoken about it.

1092
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: The community found out that she used to do that.

1093
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 2: They're like, do you want to start up some classes

1094
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: for some of the community free of charge.

1095
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: She was like, of course.

1096
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:38,640
Speaker 2: She spent like two three months practicing her routine and

1097
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,680
Speaker 2: now every week she's teaching fitness to like people my age.

1098
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:43,840
Speaker 3: She's doing fitness classes.

1099
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: So she's in the fitness the community, and she's always

1100
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: she's very intelligent anyway, so she puts it back into that.

1101
00:53:49,640 --> 00:53:51,799
Speaker 2: But it's so beautiful because when you're saying that, I

1102
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 2: can literally see that happening in my mom's life.

1103
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: I think menopausea is an initiation. Yeah, It's an initiation

1104
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: into the next version of you. And this is I

1105
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,480
Speaker 1: think why we're suffering is because we're not looking at

1106
00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:06,399
Speaker 1: it that way. We're like, oh my god, I can't

1107
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 1: think straight, i can't sleep, I've got hot flashes, I'm

1108
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:12,600
Speaker 1: gaining weight and we're too focused on that as opposed to, Wow,

1109
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see who I'm going to be

1110
00:54:14,640 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 1: on the.

1111
00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 3: Other side of this, Yes, exactly.

1112
00:54:17,040 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: Like what a difference menopause would be like At thirty five,

1113
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:20,440
Speaker 1: you could be.

1114
00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:24,720
Speaker 4: Like, Oh my god, I'm so excited I'm going into menopause.

1115
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: Because I can't wait for this transition into this new

1116
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,279
Speaker 1: version of myself that I've witnessed in my mother and

1117
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:30,920
Speaker 1: my grandmother.

1118
00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, they are pretty spectacular.

1119
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:35,880
Speaker 2: I have a question though, So for all the women

1120
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 2: who are that four or thirty five still thinking about

1121
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 2: having children, what's some advice that you would give in

1122
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 2: terms of like to keep their fertility in the best

1123
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 2: shape possible for the next couple of years while they're

1124
00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:48,480
Speaker 2: trying to conceive.

1125
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:52,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great question. So I would say three things. One,

1126
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: you'r arrhythmic human. You need to start eating and fasting

1127
00:54:56,600 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 1: and doing supplements and exercising to your hormonal Some of.

1128
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 3: The best supplements that you supplements you recommend.

1129
00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: From magnesium, I mean magnesium zinc are like requirements for

1130
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: hormones minerals in general, we don't have enough, we don't

1131
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: get enough of them, and so we really need more

1132
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:15,680
Speaker 1: minerals and to be brought into And.

1133
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: Do you recommend sprays or taking tablet taking like supplements?

1134
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 2: What do you know when the brand I love and

1135
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 2: you know it's just the brand I lovemendation.

1136
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's called Beam Minerals. And the reason I love

1137
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: it is it's fullvic and humic acid minerals that were

1138
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: taken from the Earth. So what happens in that situation

1139
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: is when you're taking a mineral as a complex, a

1140
00:55:40,680 --> 00:55:43,919
Speaker 1: collective group of minerals from the Earth. The Earth didn't

1141
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:47,120
Speaker 1: make a mistake, right, the Earth figured out the ratios

1142
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: that you need and it's a liquid. I take a

1143
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:51,680
Speaker 1: little shot of them every morning.

1144
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:52,240
Speaker 3: Amazing.

1145
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,280
Speaker 1: So I like it's kind of like food based minerals,

1146
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 1: right because once we start to put it into a supplement,

1147
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,680
Speaker 1: I know now has manipulated it. Yes, And how do we.

1148
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 3: Know it's right? We don't and we don't so that's possible.

1149
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. Magnesium and zinc are like some of the

1150
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:15,719
Speaker 1: really important things cycling supplements. I would you know, go

1151
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: check out the fasting cycle or just know that you

1152
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: are rhythmic, so if you're eating the same thing all

1153
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: every day of the month you're not necessarily in rhythm

1154
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:25,880
Speaker 1: with your hormone.

1155
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,759
Speaker 2: And you say cycling supplements, could you do you want

1156
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 2: to explain that just the list bit for people who

1157
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:30,880
Speaker 2: don't know what that is.

1158
00:56:31,040 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, a supplement should be a supplement.

1159
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, it's not meant.

1160
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:38,319
Speaker 1: To be on it all the time. So you know,

1161
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of companies out there now that are

1162
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,680
Speaker 1: doing hormone cycling supplements. You know, I could go through

1163
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,080
Speaker 1: the whole list, but it might be not import So,

1164
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:50,799
Speaker 1: but do you know when we're taking a supplement all

1165
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 1: the time, it's really not.

1166
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:53,680
Speaker 3: It's almost like medicine.

1167
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 2: You kind of have to see it as as you know,

1168
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:58,279
Speaker 2: when your body needs something, have it, and then you

1169
00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:00,720
Speaker 2: may be full of it. You may have got everything

1170
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 2: that you need and then you have to come off it.

1171
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,240
Speaker 2: Maybe you'll need something else at that point in your life.

1172
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 2: And so you know, do you recommend getting a blood

1173
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:10,360
Speaker 2: test done regularly or like to know what your body

1174
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 2: is deficient?

1175
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 3: You know what it needs.

1176
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 1: I think once a year is a really good plan.

1177
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 1: I like that, and working with an integrative ob is

1178
00:57:18,600 --> 00:57:22,600
Speaker 1: really helpful. Somebody who knows supplements and can read a blood,

1179
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: blood work, and be able to tell you which supplements

1180
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: is really important.

1181
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so magnesium you said, zinc, zinc, and obviously cycling

1182
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 2: is supplements.

1183
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then just knowing which supplements, I mean, you

1184
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:35,919
Speaker 1: need a lot more B vitamins at the front half

1185
00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:41,240
Speaker 1: of the yeah, that in the back half, you know, magnesium, magnesium, magnesium, Okay, yeah,

1186
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: like progesterone needs magnesium. So like if you start at

1187
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: thirty five, you can't sleep very well. Try megadosine magnesium, right,

1188
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: see how that works? Okay, So yeah, so rhythmic. And

1189
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 1: then two other things I wanted you to point out.

1190
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 1: Please let's go back to the safety conversation. You know,

1191
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: make sure the environments you're putting yourself in feel safe

1192
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 1: and that you're nurturing yourself and you're not you know, say,

1193
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:10,280
Speaker 1: unsafe might look like running marathons all the time. You

1194
00:58:10,360 --> 00:58:12,440
Speaker 1: might need to run a marathon and then maybe do

1195
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 1: chill out, do a yoga retreat, so it could look

1196
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 1: like that. It could look like working too much.

1197
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, so like.

1198
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 1: Could look like you're just working your fanny off all

1199
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 1: cycle long. So just you know, really do it. A

1200
00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: safety inventory I think is good. And then The last

1201
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 1: one is a harder, hard one, but it's toxins. And

1202
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: the reason toxins throw our whole cycle off is that

1203
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: there are only two parts of the brain that don't

1204
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 1: have a blood brain barrier, and the number one part

1205
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: is your hypothalmus, which controls all hormones es so BPA, plastics,

1206
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 1: heavy metals. I mean, I don't know if you guys

1207
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: have talked about what's in the air in LA right now,

1208
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,360
Speaker 1: but it's definitely been an interesting conversation I've had with

1209
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: other people. If you're in a moldy environment, those kind

1210
00:59:03,400 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 1: of things can get in that hypothalmis and then they

1211
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: start to change your hormonal cycle.

1212
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:09,480
Speaker 3: Right, that makes sense.

1213
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 2: So is any things that people should be taking or

1214
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 2: doing to prevent those toxins right now?

1215
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,240
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I think people should be detoxing every day.

1216
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 1: And what that could look like is are you eating

1217
00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,840
Speaker 1: enough leafy green vegetables like you got to? You know,

1218
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: fiber is going to help feed those microbes that will

1219
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: help to detox you. Are you prioritizing sleep? Yeah, at night,

1220
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: our brain actually shrinks and our sribel spinal fluid goes

1221
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: up and washes our brain and detoxes it every single night,

1222
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: things like corilla and you know some of the deeper

1223
00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 1: green spirillina are you are you leaning into those? And

1224
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 1: then we have big detoxes binders like activated charcoal and zeolites.

1225
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: We're doing some really interesting things with next Health, which

1226
00:59:57,480 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 1: I think you.

1227
00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:00,200
Speaker 2: Guys have max stelf. I just had my blood done

1228
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 2: waiting for the test results to.

1229
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,600
Speaker 1: Get back, so Darshan is, I'm actually tomorrow we'll go

1230
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 1: for my third total plasma exchange, which is where they

1231
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:11,960
Speaker 1: take out sixty five percent of they take out your

1232
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:16,120
Speaker 1: blood and they filter sixty five percent exact. Yeah, so

1233
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: we have some really cool new detoxes coming online as well.

1234
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: I know you mentioned stress and you know the safety

1235
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 2: aspect of it, but I guess the question that came

1236
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:26,960
Speaker 2: up in my mind was is some element of like

1237
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: should we be trying to eliminate all stress in our

1238
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: life or should we be trying to find well, I

1239
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 2: guess there's twofold should be trying to cope with the

1240
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 2: stresses or should be really as much as possible, like

1241
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 2: whether it's work or all the things that you mentioned,

1242
01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 2: You know, is there an element of stress just being

1243
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 2: part and parcel of our life. If you're able to

1244
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:47,200
Speaker 2: manage it, how do you know whether you're going from

1245
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 2: a point of this is too much stress for my

1246
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:50,560
Speaker 2: body to handle.

1247
01:00:50,720 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 3: Good Again, I'm thinking for myself.

1248
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I uah, well, okay, so for a cycling woman, just

1249
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: really the time to just bring everything down, your work production,

1250
01:01:00,320 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: your fitness production, like just nurture yourself, give yourself grace

1251
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: to not work out if you don't feel like working out.

1252
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,600
Speaker 1: Is that week before Okay, So if.

1253
01:01:08,440 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 3: All we did is don't push it.

1254
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, just don't push it, like slow it all down.

1255
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: Cut the workload that then put into your brain, like

1256
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,520
Speaker 1: cut it all in half. If you can that week before,

1257
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:22,360
Speaker 1: and then what will happen is once your cycle starts,

1258
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: once your period starts, you'll actually be more productive. Yeah.

1259
01:01:25,560 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 3: See, you're so right.

1260
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 2: And I have to say this because I notice if

1261
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 2: I have a really intense week that week, it throws

1262
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,200
Speaker 2: me off for the rest of the month. Yeah, like

1263
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 2: I am struggling. I had this past week was quite

1264
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:41,800
Speaker 2: an intense week for me. And you know, I start

1265
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:43,400
Speaker 2: my careers a couple of days ago. But I would

1266
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 2: say that usually at this point I'm feeling really energetic

1267
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 2: and I am not. And it's because the few days

1268
01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 2: before I was coming out, I was like I was

1269
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: really pushing myself. I'd had some late nights, I was

1270
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 2: like waking up super early. I was working the whole

1271
01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: day and my mind was working my body. I was

1272
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:01,160
Speaker 2: pushing myself and my workout to ye And I've noticed

1273
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 2: the cycle of when I do that, the week of

1274
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: and the week after, I'm like struggling.

1275
01:02:06,680 --> 01:02:07,880
Speaker 3: Instead of thriving.

1276
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, And it's that has become a sign for me

1277
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,160
Speaker 2: that perfect you need to listen and slow down in

1278
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: that period, and when I do do that, I am thriving.

1279
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:20,840
Speaker 3: For the rest of the Monthfect I know, I'm like

1280
01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 3: my lesson, I just need to make sure I stick

1281
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:22,600
Speaker 3: to it.

1282
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 1: So so you know, there's something called the Polyvagel theory

1283
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 1: where our nervous system is supposed to go into fight

1284
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 1: or flight and then rest or digest. But if we've

1285
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: been in fighter flight for too long, we go into

1286
01:02:35,200 --> 01:02:38,360
Speaker 1: a third nervous system called freeze. And in the freeze

1287
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 1: nervous system, what ends up happening is we numb ourselves.

1288
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: So we can numb ourselves with food, With social media,

1289
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 1: we withdraw so all of a sudden we don't want

1290
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: to be around people. Yeah, this is kind of this

1291
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: can be our teenage world right now, or we become

1292
01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 1: really hyper sensitive to everything. So I'll use myself as

1293
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: an example. After three evacuations and I actually lost a

1294
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,800
Speaker 1: really dear friend in October. So when I lost my neighborhood,

1295
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 1: my home's still there, but I evacuated for two days NonStop.

1296
01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,360
Speaker 1: And then I on the heels of losing a good friend,

1297
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: I literally went to my staff and I'm writing another book,

1298
01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:23,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I need a ninety day timeout. I

1299
01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: need to go somewhere in nature for ninety days to

1300
01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: reboot my nervous system because I can't do it on

1301
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,680
Speaker 1: its own. But we don't really you know how hard

1302
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 1: it's been to fight for that. Yeah, we don't have

1303
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,400
Speaker 1: a culture that accepts.

1304
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,200
Speaker 2: That, because then you're like, oh, am, I just not

1305
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,160
Speaker 2: doing my day, or like not doing the work I'm

1306
01:03:41,200 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 2: supposed to be doing. You know, but you've got if

1307
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,920
Speaker 2: you've got teams, you feel like you're letting the teams down.

1308
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Like imagine a world where we were like, hey, it's

1309
01:03:48,800 --> 01:03:51,200
Speaker 1: the week before my period. I'm just going to take

1310
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,600
Speaker 1: it a little bit easier I'll throw in, I'll work

1311
01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:56,920
Speaker 1: six days seven days once my period starts. But for

1312
01:03:57,040 --> 01:04:00,520
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to nurture myself. I think two

1313
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 1: things would happen women in general. Would you know, people

1314
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 1: would be like, you're a loser, You're like, you know, like,

1315
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 1: what are you doing.

1316
01:04:08,080 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 3: Especially exaggerating, You're you're over.

1317
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 1: Exaggerating, You're so emotional. So there would be that that

1318
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: that judgment on us. But I think it would be

1319
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: the internal judgment that would be the hardest.

1320
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not doing enough.

1321
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: And if I'm not doing enough, then I'm not worthy enough.

1322
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:28,479
Speaker 1: And if I'm not worthy enough, then I don't feel

1323
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 1: good about myself. And then when the spiral.

1324
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 3: Start, it's such a spiral. Yeah, you're so right.

1325
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:36,560
Speaker 2: So I feel like if people do have the opportunity

1326
01:04:36,560 --> 01:04:39,960
Speaker 2: to just whatever you can take out of your diary

1327
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 2: during that time, it's so worth it.

1328
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: And give each other grace, Like conversations like this are

1329
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,920
Speaker 1: so important so that we all go, hey, I'm not

1330
01:04:48,960 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 1: going to go to ladies' night out. It sounds it

1331
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: sounds really fun.

1332
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:56,040
Speaker 3: But I can't do another late night right now today.

1333
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Or you know what to your to your staff to

1334
01:04:57,760 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 1: be like Hey, I really am the create juices aren't flowing.

1335
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm feeling really exhausted. I'm going to take a few

1336
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:06,800
Speaker 1: extra days and then you know, once my cycle starts,

1337
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll put it into high gear again.

1338
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,360
Speaker 2: The funny thing is what all women, and we've all

1339
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:14,960
Speaker 2: most of us have cycle sinks, so we're like, okay, cool,

1340
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 2: we'll take this week off and I'll see you next week.

1341
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's all new models of work that are

1342
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: showing up right now.

1343
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 3: Really yeah, and a.

1344
01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:26,240
Speaker 1: Lot of like the health world and the podcast world

1345
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: is actually sort of bringing that forward. So I've heard

1346
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:32,880
Speaker 1: of one where they do, like a company will do

1347
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: like a six week sprint where everybody's like full on

1348
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:39,200
Speaker 1: for six weeks and then they take a full week off.

1349
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: So if you were all women, it'd be really interesting

1350
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 1: to do like a three week sprint where everybody's working

1351
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: a lot more and then the week before your period,

1352
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:51,160
Speaker 1: everybody brings it down.

1353
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:53,920
Speaker 2: We just all like have We had a puppy day

1354
01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 2: today where we had some puppies that came in for

1355
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,959
Speaker 2: one of the girl's birthdays from a shower. They're so cute,

1356
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 2: but everyone at lunchtime just had all these little puppies

1357
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 2: around them, and it just soothe that everyone everyone'snav a system.

1358
01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 1: So that was what a great idea.

1359
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 3: It was a great idea.

1360
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: I wanted to just touch on perimenopause because I think

1361
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:15,520
Speaker 2: there's you know, confusion between what is even the difference

1362
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 2: between perimenopause and menopause. Yeah, what are some of the

1363
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 2: signs and symptoms to look out for?

1364
01:06:20,240 --> 01:06:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So perimont menopause is when those hormones are starting

1365
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: to go down, but you're still have a regular cycle.

1366
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,400
Speaker 1: So you're still having a regular cycle, but you're starting

1367
01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 1: to notice, hey, I might not sleep as well as

1368
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 1: I used to, seem to be reacting to stress a

1369
01:06:36,360 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: little bit more acutely. Sometimes you're like the same routines

1370
01:06:41,040 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: that helped you lose weight don't help you anymore. And

1371
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: that was the menopause reset. That whole book was about

1372
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 1: how the diet you did at thirty five doesn't work

1373
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 1: for you at forty five, right, So it's it's really

1374
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: a time in which the hormones are starting to go

1375
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: down and you're starting to experience yourself different, right, And

1376
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,200
Speaker 1: like things that used to work in your health habits

1377
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: are not working. So skin changes, hair, changes lubrication to like,

1378
01:07:08,760 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 1: you know, moisture, mucosal membranes, libido goes down, you don't

1379
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 1: feel like working out, you're injured a little more like

1380
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 1: like you're just like something's up, and it's because you're

1381
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:25,240
Speaker 1: these amazing wisdom molecules are starting to go away. So

1382
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:28,400
Speaker 1: that's usually that's kind of the indication. But it's it's

1383
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: the warm the worm down.

1384
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 2: Like.

1385
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 1: What's really interesting is it takes about ten years from

1386
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: the time that you start your period to be like

1387
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: fully in your glory. So if you start your pard

1388
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: it's thirteen, it takes your body about ten years for

1389
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: the brain and the ovaries to get their.

1390
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 3: Groove going true.

1391
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 1: Right by twenty three, you're in well at thirty five,

1392
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: now you're going ten years where it starts to wind down, right,

1393
01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 1: So it's not it's not like one day that was

1394
01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:01,439
Speaker 1: kind of the big thing that I was shocked at.

1395
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: I thought you were just fertile one day and then

1396
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 1: one day it went away.

1397
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 3: Yes, a lot.

1398
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 2: I want to talk about HRT because obviously a lot

1399
01:08:10,640 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 2: of women get put on it and all women do.

1400
01:08:12,600 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 3: All women get on HIT when they go through menopose.

1401
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:18,200
Speaker 1: No HRT is coming back in vogue. I think it's

1402
01:08:18,240 --> 01:08:22,000
Speaker 1: a very personal decision. It's not going to be a

1403
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,840
Speaker 1: free pass from lifestyle changes. You want to work with

1404
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: somebody who can work with the dosage because what would

1405
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,559
Speaker 1: be a appropriate dose for you may be completely different

1406
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: for somebody else.

1407
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,000
Speaker 2: And if someone if this is a natural process that

1408
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,400
Speaker 2: your body will just go through, does someone needs to

1409
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 2: be having HRD No, I think that's it's hormonal replacement.

1410
01:08:43,600 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 1: Hormone replacement therapy, right.

1411
01:08:45,439 --> 01:08:45,639
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1412
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: So, like I've been doing some research on the different

1413
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:53,479
Speaker 1: HRT uses, Like throughout the world, only four percent of

1414
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:58,759
Speaker 1: perimenopause and menopausal women in Japan use HRT, wow, whereas

1415
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:03,360
Speaker 1: fifty percent use it here in the US. Okay, let's

1416
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: start to unpack what the lifestyle differences are. So it's

1417
01:09:08,479 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 1: a personal choice, and I don't think a woman should

1418
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,519
Speaker 1: be shamed to go on it. I don't think she

1419
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 1: should be shamed to not go on it. Yes, I

1420
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: think you have to look at your lifestyle changes first

1421
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 1: and then make a decision if it's right for you.

1422
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 1: And then what happens to most women is once you

1423
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:29,880
Speaker 1: go on there's a little bit of a learning curve

1424
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 1: you have to figure out what your proper dose is.

1425
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 1: That's why you need a really good.

1426
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 3: OBI right, that makes sense.

1427
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 2: So is there anything else that you would want women

1428
01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:41,720
Speaker 2: listening to know that you haven't mentioned already, or any

1429
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:42,799
Speaker 2: last pieces of advice.

1430
01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,479
