Your menstrual cycle, as I say, 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: as a woman, is your fifth vital signs. If you 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: suppress your entire menstrual cycle, then you run the risk 12 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 1: of really understanding your reproductive health. And your reproductive health 13 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: is as a woman, your overall health.

Yeah, I think my goal 62 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: with my brand in my book was to really take 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: health and put it into a beautiful format. I always 64 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: find health books are, like, you know, they're just they 65 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: have no imagery, they have no colors, they're not inviting, 66 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: and so I really wanted to take these health concepts 67 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: and put them into like a beautiful coffee table format 68 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: that someone could leave on their table and really, you know, 69 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 1: and use and share with their friends and family and 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: to improve their health. 71 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 2: So and lend something just by picking up a page 72 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 2: of it, Like you don't have to go through it 73 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: page by page. You can just open up a page 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 2: and at least you lend something or you take away 75 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 2: something that's going to change your life in some way. 76 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 2: So I want to dive straight in because I feel 77 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: like this is such a complex yet such a vital 78 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 2: topic to discuss. So you share so many things in 79 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 2: the book. The whole book is around detoxing, and I 80 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: wanted to start off by asking you what are the 81 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 2: signs that people can look for to really know that 82 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: they have toxins in the body and that they need 83 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 2: to detox, like on a daily basis. 84 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: What can people look for totally? 85 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: Well, unfortunately, if you live a very typical life in America, 86 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: you have to assume that you are being poisoned every 87 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: single day, that you have a heavy toxic load that's 88 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: burdening your system. You know, in the life that we live, 89 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: there are toxins in our food, our water, our air, 90 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: our household products, our oral care, our skin care, our makeup, 91 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: our clothes, our furniture. It's hot. Toxins are really everywhere. 92 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: So toxins are permeating our bodies and creating cellular congestion 93 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: and breakdown over time. And what that looks like physically 94 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: are these symptoms that people have that they want so 95 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: desperately to resolve. So gut issues, bloating, gas, irregular bowel movements, diarrhea, constipation, 96 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 1: acid reflux, hormonal imbalances, you know, everything under the sun, right, 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: Skin issues, common issues, yeah, acne, exzemas, psoriasis, dermatitis, rashes, 98 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: immune system imbalances, brittle hair, brittle nails, you know, dry skin, fatigue, 99 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 1: excess weight. I can go on, infertility, like I can 100 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,360 Speaker 1: go on and on and on. But I think most 101 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: of the common issues that people are seeing at the 102 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: surface are a physical manifestation of internal imbalances within the body. 103 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:34,119 Speaker 1: Your body, you know, let's let's talk about the skin 104 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 1: for example. The skin, you know, is a physical reaction 105 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: to toxic overloaded within the body. So when your body 106 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: is trying to detox but can't, and there's a toxic 107 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: overload within the body that recirculates through the body and 108 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 1: comes out through the skin, so that's when you see 109 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: things like acne, egxemnsoriasis. So with these symptoms, your body 110 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: is never trying to hurt you. It's only trying to 111 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: help you. So it's giving you these symptoms to show 112 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: you that there's something that needs to be addressed within 113 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: the body and that you need to listen and dig 114 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 1: deep and understand what that is. Yeah. 115 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: I always say that the moment something starts showing up externally, 116 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 2: it is your body trying to scream at you because 117 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 2: it's already told you once, twice, three times, maybe four 118 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 2: times before through different means in your body. It's maybe 119 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: told you through your digestion, it's maybe told you through 120 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 2: the anxiety that you're feeling. It's maybe told you through 121 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: your lack of sleep, like there's been other signs before. 122 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 3: It's got to the place where you can see it totally. 123 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: When you can see it, it's almost like the final 124 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: straw where your body's like, you need to listen to 125 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: me right now, and the only way you're going to 126 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 2: listen is by me showing you when you're looking in 127 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: the mirror totally. 128 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: And I think that's really important. 129 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: I know in your book you mentioned that the skin 130 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 2: is one of the four channels of elimination. Could you 131 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,719 Speaker 2: go into a little bit more detail about that and 132 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: maybe explain the other three. 133 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, So the body has four main channels of elimination 134 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: that are responsible for beab eliminating waste out of the body, 135 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,559 Speaker 1: So the bowels, the urine, the lungs, and the skin. 136 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: The biggest channel of elimination is the bells, So that's 137 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 1: really the most fundamental and most important. And when you 138 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: have a slow moving colon, when you're not going to 139 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: the bathroom regularly, when you're constipated, which a lot of 140 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: Americans and a large majority of people are, toxins are 141 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: not flowing out of that main channel of elimination, so 142 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: they're recirculating through the body and they're coming out up 143 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and out through potentially the skin, which is when you 144 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: see acne, ezemas, psoriasis, rashes, dermatitis, and so on and 145 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: so forth. So these channels of elimination are so so 146 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 1: so important, and you need to keep those detox pathways 147 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: open for each of those four channels to allow for 148 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: optimal health and vitality. So again, these channels are so 149 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: so so critical to optimal health. 150 00:07:58,840 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know. 151 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: I've written down this quote that you had in your 152 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 2: book and it said, your gut is your second brain. 153 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 2: If you consistently experienced debilitating gut or digestive issues every day, 154 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 2: it is time to stop accepting this as normal. 155 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 3: And because it's not. 156 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 2: And I think you know, I think one people are 157 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: so used to ignoring their gut, ignoring like when they're 158 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 2: eating something, and sometimes it's not. 159 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 3: Even ignoring it. 160 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's not realizing the cues that you have to 161 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 2: listen to in your body. I think we've become very 162 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 2: disconnected from understanding what our body's trying to tell us, 163 00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 2: because I think there's also this difficulty of listening to 164 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: health information that we're getting. And then you get this 165 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: health information, you're like, oh, okay, so that means I 166 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 2: should be doing this. You start doing this thing and 167 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: your gut is telling you, no, this isn't working for me. 168 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: This isn't working for me, and you're like, no, but 169 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,559 Speaker 2: this person has told me I should be doing this. 170 00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 2: So you keep listening to external resources and ignoring your 171 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 2: internal resources. And so even if your gut is a 172 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: little bit it is not functioning properly, you might be like, yeah, 173 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: but it will be fine, Like I'm doing the right things, 174 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,840 Speaker 2: it's gonna be fine. But even for a day, Like 175 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: I notice that if I eat at certain restaurants or 176 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: if I eat certain oils when I'm out and about, 177 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 2: and if I don't know what's in the food, like 178 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 2: that will tell me straight away, totally immediately. And so 179 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 2: if you're not able to and that is probably such 180 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 2: a great way to actually recognize whether something is either 181 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 2: wrong in what you're eating or wrong internally, like something's 182 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 2: not working in your digestive track totally. And the second 183 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 2: part to it is, I feel like some people don't 184 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: even know what good bowl movement looks like because maybe 185 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,480 Speaker 2: they've been suffering from bad bower movements for such a 186 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 2: long time they don't understand what it actually looks like. 187 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: So in your book you do talk about this, but 188 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 2: I wanted to ask for everybody listening, what does a 189 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: healthy bowel movement look like like? What should it be? 190 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: What does a good digestive system look like? 191 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, and just to answer that first point that you made, 192 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:00,319 Speaker 1: you know, most people are so unfortunately so disconnect from 193 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: their bodies, so they're struggling with these physical symptoms each 194 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,719 Speaker 1: and every day that they've accepted them as normal. I 195 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 1: would say they're not normal, They're just common. So yes, 196 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Like seventy four percent of 197 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 1: Americans or overweight or obese. Fifty percent of Americans are 198 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: struggling with diabetes, pre diabetes or type two diabetes. These 199 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 1: issues are just so common that they've been normalized, but 200 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: they're certainly not normal. A healthy bowel movement. We use 201 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: something called the Bristol stool chart to indicate what a 202 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: healthy stool looks like, and if you look it up 203 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: online you can see that types three and four should 204 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: be are considered to be normal bowel movements. You should 205 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 1: be having two to three bowel movements a day, and 206 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: people and my clients will always be like what I 207 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: thought it was once a day, but no, it's actually 208 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: two or three times a day consistently. You shouldn't experience 209 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 1: any strain or pain when passing a bowel movement. It 210 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: should be of a normal color, and you shouldn't consist 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: in the experience any acid reflux, burping, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, 212 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 1: irregular bowel movements. Those are all signs that your body 213 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: is giving you that something is wrong. And so you know, 214 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 1: I have clients coming to me all the time. They 215 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 1: just live with bloating each and every day, they're gas 216 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,200 Speaker 1: each and every day. But in reality, these symptoms are 217 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 1: a sign that your body is giving you or cry 218 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: for help that your body is giving you that something 219 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: is out of balance and needs to be addressed. So 220 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 1: again going back to you know, the four channels of 221 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: elimination that I mentioned earlier, When you have a slow 222 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: moving colon, when you're not eliminating, if you're eating three 223 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: meals a day, and you're going to the bathroom once 224 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: a day or once every other day, think of how 225 00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: much waste is accumulating in your body. And when you 226 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 1: have a slow moving colon that prevents all other organs 227 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: and systems from functioning effectively. It just creates like you know, 228 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: your body's like an orchestra. So if there's one organ 229 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: that starts to malfunction, that will affect every other organ 230 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: and system within your body. And unfortunately, the gut, as 231 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: I said, is the second brain. So if that second 232 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 1: brain is not working properly, that will affect every other 233 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 1: organ and system within the body. So yeah, ideally aim 234 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: for that two to three a day, and you know 235 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,160 Speaker 1: you shouldn't experience any symptoms regularly. Yeah. 236 00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 2: I remember when I was a dietitian in hospital, I 237 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: used to go through this stall chat often with people, 238 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: and I was shocked at how many people were not 239 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:37,960 Speaker 2: within the normal range of what bale movement should look like. 240 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 2: And also when you're mentioning the topsins, you know, building 241 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 2: up when you don't actually use the toilet like three 242 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: times a day. When you were speaking about gas and 243 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: bloating and our reade, it talks about how when your 244 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: food is not digested properly in your gut, it's when 245 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 2: fermentation happens in the gut. And so actually the gas, 246 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 2: the bloating, the burp, whatever it is that you're experiencing, 247 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 2: is a product of the fermentation that's happening in your 248 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,720 Speaker 2: gut because it's not being broken down properly totally, and 249 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 2: it's not broken down it creates armor or toxins in 250 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: the body that then manifest in that way. And so 251 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: it is the greatest sign that your body is giving 252 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,319 Speaker 2: you is something isn't right. 253 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Yeah, when there is blockage, you know, 254 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: there's blockage in the colon, right, so think of it 255 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: like a pipe or rusty pipe and your sink is clogged. 256 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 1: Think of that, there's you know, accumulated toxic waste we 257 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: call mucoid plaque your colon and you're eating food and 258 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: that food is coming in and you might be eating 259 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: the right foods, but because you have that accumulated toxic waste, 260 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: that food is getting blocked. It's fermenting and putrefying in 261 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: your system, and that's what's leading to gas and bloating. 262 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: So the people who come to me and they say 263 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 1: every day, by the end of the day, I have 264 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: gas and bloating. No matter what I eat. I can 265 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: eat the healthiest I can eat the healthiest food in 266 00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: the world, but by the end of the day, I 267 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: have gas and bloeva there's blockage that's actually preventing the 268 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: passage and creating again that fermentation future faction, which leads 269 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,720 Speaker 1: to those symptoms. So again it's all rooted again in 270 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: that toxic waste that's sort of sitting within the system. 271 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: And you know, some people do have the physical symptoms 272 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 1: that show at the surface, but a lot of people 273 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: don't necessarily like they might have that toxicity, but they 274 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: don't have the acne. They don't have hormonal balances or 275 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: gut issues, but later in life that cellular congestion and 276 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: breakdown could lead to like long term chronic disease, so 277 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: really important to address upfront. 278 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: For me, I find whenever I notice things like lefigy 279 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 2: feeling tied in the morning even though I've slept enough, 280 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: those are actually two of my major signs. 281 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: That I've got toxic build up in my body. 282 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: Like that's usually when I'm noticing where I'm like okay 283 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,880 Speaker 2: and bowel movements, but like as soon as I notice 284 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 2: I'm more tired than I usually am, or I'm feeling 285 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 2: that letharge heavy feeling. That's always been my sign that Okay, 286 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: I need to fast, or I need to detox, or 287 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: I need to do something for this day. And usually 288 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 2: if you do something even for like a day, it 289 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 2: can shift it so fast. You suddenly change what you're 290 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 2: eating within a day, or you're a bit more conscious 291 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 2: of the things that you're allowing into your body, and 292 00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: you notice how much your body will adapt and shift 293 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 2: to that change, and how much you will appreciate and reward. 294 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 3: You for that change. 295 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 2: By changing your mood, you're the way that you're feeling 296 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 2: your lethargy, your tiredness. And you know you mentioned toxic 297 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 2: load earlier and you speak about it a lot in 298 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 2: your book. What are the main things that you would 299 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: say on a day to day basis are creating these toxics. 300 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 2: I know you mentioned a whole line of things, but 301 00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 2: even within the first few hours of someone waking up, 302 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 2: what would you say that people are unaware of that 303 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: is creating this toxicity in the body that is so normal, 304 00:15:57,880 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: as you said, but not good figure. 305 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the most obvious is food and drink 306 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: waste from refined carbs, refined grains, refined sugars, refined seed oils, 307 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: any process of refined foods have chemicals, preservative toxins that 308 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: human beings were never meant to consumer digest. So you know, 309 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: we are I'm fortunate to eat organic, plant based whole 310 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: foods from the farmers market the majority of the time, 311 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: but the majority of Americans are not in this position. 312 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: Nearly sixty percent of calories consumed by Americans come from 313 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,520 Speaker 1: ultra processed foods right now, and there are ten thousand 314 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: chemicals within our food system, forty thousand chemicals within within 315 00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: America and less than one percent have been rigorously tested 316 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 1: for human safety. So you know, the average American is 317 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: consuming an an exorbitant amount of toxins through their food. 318 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: Then tap water is another big one, right, Fifty two 319 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: percent of Americans are consuming tap water on a daily 320 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: basis unknowingly, and they're consuming fluoride, chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides, 321 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: chemicals are air unfortunately is a huge source of toxicity 322 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: as well. And then yeah, there's just so much many 323 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: heavy metals, mold, antibiotics, drugs, hormonal contraception, synthetic hormones, environmental toxins, pollution. 324 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: I could literally just keep rattling them, but it's just 325 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 1: it's crazy. 326 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 2: And so for people obviously, like when you know, when 327 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: I was reading through your book and even when my 328 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 2: team was, it was like, it's an overwhelming amount of 329 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: it's scary, Like it can be so scary, especially if 330 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 2: you're someone who's going from not really being conscious of 331 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 2: it to then reading something like that. 332 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 3: It can really overwhelm me. 333 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,880 Speaker 2: So I guess number one for people who cannot afford 334 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 2: organic food all the time, because unfortunately, to eat well 335 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 2: it also costs a little bit more, and if you're 336 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,439 Speaker 2: not able to you know, even afford that would be 337 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,959 Speaker 2: what would you say, the top three things are the 338 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 2: top three things that if people are able to change 339 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 2: in their daily lifestyle, would be the ideal things to 340 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 2: spend their money on and to help reduce the toxic 341 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: load in their body. 342 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:19,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really really good point. So I would 343 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: say eating seasonal, plant based whole foods as much as possible. 344 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: Fiber is the commonality in all of those foods. Fiber 345 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: feeds your go gut bacteria, It exits quickly, and it 346 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 1: acts as an intestinal broom that comes in and sweeps 347 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 1: up all of this built up matter in your system 348 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: and moves it out. So, if you have a toxic 349 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: load within your system and you can't afford to do 350 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 1: all these cleans you can't afford coln cleansing and liver 351 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: cleansing and some of these advanced cleansing modalities that we 352 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: can talk about, just simply eating more fiber and eating 353 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 1: more plant based whole foods is a way to cleanse 354 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: the body because the fire serves as a vehicle to 355 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: awaken that built up matter in your system. So, you know, 356 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: I know that a lot of people can't eat organic food, 357 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: so I say, try to eat local and seasonal. If 358 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 1: you have a farmer's market near you or a CSA. 359 00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,120 Speaker 1: Oftentimes local food won't be they won't have the certified 360 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: organic seal but because they can't afford it, but they 361 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: will not use pesticides on their food. 362 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 3: A lot of people in my FAM's market tell me. 363 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: That totally yeah. And if you can buy organic, prioritize 364 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 1: the Dirty dozen. The Dirty dozen or is a list 365 00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 1: of the top twelve foods that have the most pesticide, 366 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: So prioritize those twelve foods. So that would be the 367 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: first I would say, you know, switching from tap water 368 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 1: to filtered water, and staying as hydrated throughout the day 369 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: as possible. Our bodies are made of fifty to seventy 370 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: five percent water, and most Americans are chronically dehydrated. So 371 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 1: drinking the right water, drinking you know, water enough enough water, 372 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 1: and the right type of water, and sweating moving your body, 373 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,919 Speaker 1: you know. So, as I said before, there's four channels 374 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: of elimination in the body, the bowels, the year, and 375 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: the lungs, and the skin. The skin. A huge way 376 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 1: to detox toxins from your body is through sweating. So 377 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: just moving your body, being outside sweating if you do 378 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:30,159 Speaker 1: have access to hot yogurt and infrared sauna, or you 379 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: can be in the blistering heat in LA and you 380 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: can get a good sweat in I think those are 381 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: three things that the average person can do to really 382 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: reduce the toxic load on their body. 383 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: Such such like good. Those were good three things. I say, 384 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 2: Like even the sweating. I think about that whenever I'm 385 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: got like a coffer a cold and I feel groggy, 386 00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 2: Well that's kind of feeling. As soon as I get 387 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 2: moving and my body releases sweat, I honestly become a 388 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 2: different person. 389 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 3: And I feel it even in my. 390 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 2: Congestion or if I have anything going on like that, 391 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 2: you automatic feel your body has released something. 392 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,239 Speaker 3: You feel lighter after that. 393 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: And you mentioned water, And my friends always call me 394 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: or like have had jokes from when I was younger 395 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 2: of being a water snub, And I always used to 396 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 2: feel really embarrassed when I used to go to places 397 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 2: because I've always been so particular about the water that 398 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 2: I drink because I had read so much about it. 399 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 3: So whether it's like. 400 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: Not wanting to drink, I'm like, I'd rather just not 401 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: drink water. They drink water from a plastic bottle, or 402 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: I'd rather just not drink water if I have to 403 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 2: drink tap water. 404 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 3: And my friends used. 405 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: To joke about it, but as like I've educated my 406 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,960 Speaker 2: friends on it, they completely understand to the extent that 407 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,199 Speaker 2: one of my friends, I'd go to their house and 408 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,639 Speaker 2: they always have plastic water bottles, and I would tell them. 409 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm telling you, like, there is gonna 410 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,879 Speaker 2: you're gonna realize that these plastic water bottles are just 411 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 2: not They're just not good for you. Like there's so 412 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: many things in there, and it's gonna affect not just 413 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 2: like not just it's gonna affect a lot more than 414 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,600 Speaker 2: you think. It's gonna affect your hormones. It's gonna affect 415 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 2: everything about it. And I remember him being like, yeah, okay, well, 416 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 2: and then he went to his doctor, and his doctor 417 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 2: he told him that he had some hormonal shifts that 418 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 2: were unexpected at high like estrogen levels and that actually 419 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 2: showed up in his blood work. And he came back 420 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,720 Speaker 2: to me and he was like, I'm switching to glass 421 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 2: water bottles like Mountain Valley. And I was like, why, 422 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,639 Speaker 2: he said, because the first question my doctor asked me 423 00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: when I showed these hormonal shifts and my blood work, 424 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 2: was whether I was drinking from plastic bottles. 425 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: And I was like, wow, like, I'm so one. 426 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,399 Speaker 2: I'm so glad that the doctor woman said that to him. 427 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 2: But the reason I bring it up is because I 428 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 2: think there's so many options of water filters, whether it's 429 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: like reverse osmosis this spring and mineral Canyon water, purified alkaline. 430 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: And even trying to figure out what water you. 431 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 2: Should buy is confusing, that's crazy. So what kind of 432 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 2: water filter do you recommend? And if you are buying 433 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,399 Speaker 2: bottled water? It's also just so sad that we have 434 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,679 Speaker 2: to like pay for good quality water. That makes me 435 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 2: so sad. So wild it is, isn't it. I remember 436 00:22:57,760 --> 00:22:59,240 Speaker 2: when I was writing this question, I was like, that's 437 00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 2: so true. We have to pay to have good quality water, 438 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 2: which is very sad. But if we have to buy 439 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 2: bottled water, and if we are buying a filter, what's 440 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: the best ones to get that you recommend? 441 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll answer that it is so ironic that we 442 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: have to like pay extra to avoid poison and toxicity, 443 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: and within our society, it just makes no sense at all. 444 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: But yeah, to prove your point about the plastic water bottles, 445 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 1: the average water bottle has two hundred and forty thousand 446 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 1: nanoplastic particles, oh my goodness, which is one hundred times 447 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: more than they previously thought. And they've basically detected microplastics 448 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: and nanoplastics in every single organ they've you know, testicles, 449 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: ovaries pretty much. Yeah, every any tests that they've done, 450 00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: they've detected microplastics and nanoplastics in. So to prove your point, 451 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: plastic water bottles are an absolute no no and yeah 452 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: for water, So there's so many different types of water 453 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: I would I'd say reverse osmosis is probably the best 454 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: if you're looking for the one that removes the most contaminants. 455 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: So it removes heavy metals, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, chemicals very 456 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 1: in a very strong way. But the problem with reverse 457 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,080 Speaker 1: osmosis water is it does remove very important minerals from 458 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,199 Speaker 1: your water. So if you have a reverse osmosis filter, 459 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: then you have to add trace minerals and do kind 460 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 1: of go through a step of remineralization because you really 461 00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 1: need minerals in your water. So the reverse osmosis filter 462 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 1: I recommend, and I'm partnered with is Aquature. They also 463 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: have an air filter called air Doctor, which is incredible. 464 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: It's by this company, Ideal Living. So that's great for 465 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: reverse osmosis filter. If you're looking for just really really 466 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 1: high quality water that has that's very mineral rich, you 467 00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: would want to go for like a spring water or 468 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: a mineral water. But in that case you have to 469 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: absolutely make sure that it's from a trusted and reliable source. 470 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: So a really amazing company in La is a live Water. 471 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: They have they bring you beautiful big glass jugs to 472 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: your house. There. I love a live water. And then 473 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: you could do something like Mountain Valley spring water in 474 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: the glass bottles, and that's an option. In terms of 475 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: like the Canan water, the alkaline water cangan is basically 476 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: i'd ionized alkaline water. I don't know, you know, I 477 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 1: don't know much about if this alkaline water is actually 478 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: better for you or not, Like I don't know too 479 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: much about the research behind those. I think it's more 480 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,919 Speaker 1: of like this cool trendy thing right now. So I 481 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: would go for reverse osmosis or spring water. 482 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 2: I did get I did get taken in by someone 483 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 2: who recommended Canyon water to me, and I've. 484 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,760 Speaker 3: Been constantly asking people. 485 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, these canyon water actually good, Like I need 486 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: to know whether it's the good one to get.

You should check out a 494 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 1: live water.

So Acuature is like they have they have an 505 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 1: undersaying filter, but they have like a glass carroff on 506 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: the countertop and it's I mean they'll they'll have sales 507 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: and it'll be between like two hundred and four hundred dollars. 508 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,360 Speaker 1: So I mean, I think it's a better it's maybe 509 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: an upfront investment, but it's better than having to buy 510 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: the glass bottles over and over again. 511 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, you mentioned hormonal contraception. 512 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,640 Speaker 2: Now, this is something I'm like very passionate about because 513 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 2: I found from a really young age, so many of 514 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 2: my friends were put onto birth control for just any reason, 515 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 2: whether it was their skin, whether it was oh my 516 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 2: peers are hurting a little bit too much. 517 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,720 Speaker 3: Okay, find go on to the pill. 518 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: Just so many reasons that now my friends who are 519 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 2: now in their thirties have really come to somewhat regret 520 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,320 Speaker 2: having gone on the pill from a young age. Whether 521 00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 2: it's trying to get their periods back, whether it's trying. 522 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 3: To get pregnant. 523 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200 Speaker 2: You know, the list is endless of what the pill 524 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 2: has unfortunately done to a lot of women. But I 525 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,639 Speaker 2: still think there is a big misconception, lots of information 526 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 2: unknown to what the pill really does, because it's still 527 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: being recommended left, right and center. In your book, you 528 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: say hormonal contraception doesn't balance your hormones, it silences them, 529 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,960 Speaker 2: And I really have a strong feeling about most medication 530 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: when it comes to that. I believe that most medication 531 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: does exactly that, it doesn't go to the root cause 532 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 2: of the problem. It will you know, you take a 533 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 2: paracetamol or addvile for your headache. Yeah, it's going to 534 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: silence the headache. But why are you having that headache? Like, 535 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,920 Speaker 2: let's figure out why you're getting those headaches regularly rather 536 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 2: than trying to just mute it or numb it. But 537 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 2: I really wanted to get into the hormonal contraception part 538 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 2: and female body because I think that's a really important one, 539 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 2: and I mean, people are struggling with fertility more than 540 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 2: ever now, So could you share a little bit more 541 00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 2: about hormonal contraception, how it affects the body, and what 542 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 2: women can do to really avoid that. 543 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, hormonal contraception is a tough one for many women. 544 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 1: It's being prescribed and has been prescribed by a doctor 545 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: since it was invented to handle basically every single hormonal 546 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 1: issue and PMS symptom under the sun. And at this stage, 547 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: I think sixty five percent of American women are on it, 548 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:02,680 Speaker 1: which try leads to you know, forty seven million Americans 549 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: or on some American women are on some form of 550 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: hormonal contraception right now, which is astounding. And yes, as 551 00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: I said, it doesn't balance your hormones. It's silence ins them. Right. 552 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: So your menstrual cycle, as I say, as a woman, 553 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 1: is your fifth vital sign. So if you suppress your 554 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: entire menstrual cycle, then you run the risk of just 555 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: not really understanding your reproductive health. And your reproductive health 556 00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: is as a woman, your overall health. So you run 557 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:36,360 Speaker 1: the risk of just not really being connected to your 558 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: body whatsoever, and also not being able to see signs 559 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 1: of internal imbalance. Right, you're just suppressing. You know, you 560 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:48,239 Speaker 1: might feel good temporarily, but you're just suppressing all of 561 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: these issues that you might be experiencing, whether it's irregular 562 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:57,560 Speaker 1: period cycles or painful periods, heavy cloths, acne, pcos endometriosis, like, 563 00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: all of these physical symptoms hormonally are a sign that 564 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: something is wrong, and so hormonal contraception just you know, 565 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: suppresses all of these things. And what happens, as you said, 566 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: is women are on the pill for ten to fifteen years, 567 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 1: they come off the pill and then they can't get 568 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,280 Speaker 1: pregnant or breaks. Yeah, totally, they've been you know, they're 569 00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,960 Speaker 1: on it for fifteen years. And yeah, to answer your question, 570 00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: hormonal contraception significantly impacts the body in so many different ways. 571 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 1: As I said before, with the toxic load, you're taking 572 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 1: something every day that's pumping synthetic hormones into your body. 573 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: These are not the same as the hormones that your 574 00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 1: bodies are body are producing. Hormonal contraception is actually known 575 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: to be a group one carcinogen no way. Yeah, so 576 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 1: this is affecting your body in so many different ways. 577 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,640 Speaker 1: The most relevant to this conversation is the fact that 578 00:30:56,760 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: it directly leads to vitamin mineral and nutrient defision, so 579 00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,640 Speaker 1: B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, among others. The 580 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: vitamin minerals and nutrients that it creates deficiencies for are 581 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,680 Speaker 1: the exact vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that you need as 582 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: a woman to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. 583 00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,800 Speaker 1: So basically what's happening is, yeah, someone's on the pill 584 00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 1: and all of these vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that they 585 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,320 Speaker 1: need to get pregnant and have, you know, a healthy 586 00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 1: baby and to nourish their baby are the ones that 587 00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 1: are being suppressed. And then there's so many other potential 588 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 1: implications from birth control and hormonal contraception that aren't necessarily 589 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: women don't even know are directly tied to birth control. 590 00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:47,800 Speaker 1: So increase impaired liver function, increase gut dysbiosis, increase migraines, 591 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 1: increase risk for chronic disease and obesity. I can go 592 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:56,240 Speaker 1: on and on and on, but it's really crazy. I 593 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,360 Speaker 1: have my own personal experience with hormonal contraception and I 594 00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,200 Speaker 1: was on you know, birth control is in my through 595 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: my teens twenties, and then went switched to an IUD, 596 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,240 Speaker 1: and an IUD actually gave me cystic acne. So out 597 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: of the blue, I started getting you know, acne on 598 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 1: my face, on my back, and part it was part 599 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: of my healing journey because I discovered through my own 600 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: research that I you know, through Reddit forums and stuff online. 601 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: I was saying, oh my god, this IUD is what's 602 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 1: giving me this acne, and went to the doctor, got 603 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,800 Speaker 1: it removed, and you know, basically had to say I'm 604 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: not leaving this office until I get it removed because 605 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: they didn't want to remove it. And you know, slowly 606 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,880 Speaker 1: but surely healed myself through cleansing and detoxification, through coal 607 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: and cleansing, liver cleansing and all the practices that I 608 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: support my clients with today. So I'm I'm very passionate 609 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: about educating women about their cycle and teaching them that 610 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: there is another way, and so, yeah, there is another way. 611 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 1: I love natural cycles. Natural cycles the first FDA cleared 612 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,400 Speaker 1: birth control app, non hormonal birth control app, And basically, 613 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 1: you take your temperature every morning with a thermometer or 614 00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,719 Speaker 1: if you have an or ring that's integrated with ORR ring, 615 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: so the ORR ring will automatically take your temperature and 616 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 1: that will actually predict ovulation and therefore show you your 617 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: fertility windows, when you're fertile, when you're not fertile, when 618 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: you should use contraception or not. And having this non 619 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: hormonal birth control just allows for you to be more 620 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,800 Speaker 1: connected to your body as a woman, to start to 621 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 1: understand the different phases of your menstrual cycle, how you 622 00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 1: might feel in those different phases of your menstrual cycle, 623 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: what activities you might want to do, what foods you 624 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 1: might want to eat. When you're on hormonal contraception, you 625 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: and it's suppressing your entire menstrual cycle, you cannot be 626 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 1: in tune with your body as a woman. It's just 627 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: not possible. 628 00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:52,000 Speaker 2: It's also one of the I mean, you know you 629 00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: speak about the four channels, I feel like it's a 630 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 2: fifth channel of detox single body, like total. It's really 631 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,600 Speaker 2: the other way that you'll as a woman in your 632 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 2: body gets rid of things that it does not need. 633 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 3: Like your body gets. 634 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,880 Speaker 2: Rid of that that part of your body that is 635 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,919 Speaker 2: still that is working in a specific way it needs 636 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 2: to also let go and release. And when you're on 637 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,040 Speaker 2: the pill, you don't experience that. You don't get to 638 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 2: detox in that way, you don't get to release in 639 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,719 Speaker 2: that way. Totally thank you for sharing that. I feel 640 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: like that's really useful information. I've heard of natural cycles actually, 641 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 2: and I've had so many of my friends say it's 642 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 2: been so useful once they came came off the pill 643 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 2: as well. 644 00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: Yeah. I also love this documentary by Ricky Lake. I 645 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: don't know if you know she's in Malibu. Incredible. She 646 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,879 Speaker 1: has this documentary called The Business of birth Control. It's 647 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: actually not on any major platform, of course because it's 648 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,719 Speaker 1: very controversial, but she talks This documentary is incredible. It 649 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: talks about the downstream impacts and you know, of birth 650 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,040 Speaker 1: control on the body and sheds light and so for 651 00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: some of my clients or potential clients who are nervous 652 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,440 Speaker 1: about going off the pill. I really recommend this documentary 653 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 1: because it really kind of opens your eyes to Okay, 654 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,280 Speaker 1: how can this be affecting my body? 655 00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,160 Speaker 2: That's a great Yeah, I'll definitely watch that documentary. I 656 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 2: feel like so much of what you've spoken about has 657 00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,759 Speaker 2: been about the food that we're eating. And so when 658 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,040 Speaker 2: people are going grocery shopping, what should they be looking up? 659 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,920 Speaker 2: Are they like top five toxins or top five ingredients 660 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 2: that people should be looking out for to really avoid. 661 00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:25,120 Speaker 2: And you know, of course there's the process in packaged foods, 662 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,800 Speaker 2: but if they are still buying process and packaged foods 663 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,880 Speaker 2: limiting them. But even so, what are the top ingredients 664 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 2: that you recommend people fully avoid or at least limit 665 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,320 Speaker 2: when they're looking at their packaging. 666 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: Such a good question. So I would say there's three 667 00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,600 Speaker 1: big ones in America. There are so many, but I'll 668 00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:50,600 Speaker 1: talk about the top three, and then I'll say I'll 669 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 1: talk about strategies for actually, you know, looking at navigating 670 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,320 Speaker 1: the grocery store and buying food. Top three refined carbs 671 00:35:58,320 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: and grains, refined show and refine seed oils. So refine 672 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: carbs and grains. Anything white anything literally anything white, white rice, 673 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 1: white pasta, white bread, bagels, cookies, cakes, anything white is 674 00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:20,600 Speaker 1: something that you can should absolutely avoid. Refined sugars, unfortunately, 675 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: are found in everything. And it's very hard because there's 676 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,959 Speaker 1: so many different names for sugar. I think there's something 677 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: like fifty six different types of name for sugar. But 678 00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: things like just you know, sugar on the label high 679 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: fructose corn syrup. There's so many sugars that you just 680 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,120 Speaker 1: want to make sure that you avoid. 681 00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 3: In everything and everything, things that are so unnecessary it's insane. 682 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:47,600 Speaker 1: Like I think I had a client and be like, 683 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:49,840 Speaker 1: you know, what do you think about this bread? And 684 00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,520 Speaker 1: it was it looked at the surface like a healthy. 685 00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,640 Speaker 3: Gloom free bread, vegan seeded. 686 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally all the things that you want to be reading, 687 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:59,359 Speaker 2: like all the things you want to read, and then 688 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:00,360 Speaker 2: you reading. 689 00:37:00,440 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: And then I read and I was like, oh, I've 690 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,440 Speaker 1: never heard of this, Let's check it out. Cane sugar 691 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,440 Speaker 1: on the ingredient. I'm like, why is there cane sugar 692 00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,880 Speaker 1: and bread or and tomato sauce or like the craziest 693 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,320 Speaker 1: things another and then the last category is seed oil, 694 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,840 Speaker 1: so seed oils. Refined seed oils are in absolutely everything, 695 00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:23,040 Speaker 1: sunflower oil, saflower oil, rice bran oil, canola oil. This 696 00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,839 Speaker 1: is especially an issue at restaurants, so you know, if 697 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,959 Speaker 1: you're going to a restaurant fried foods, you know, even 698 00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,120 Speaker 1: even the healthiest restaurant is using often using canola oil 699 00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:36,959 Speaker 1: because it's a lot cheaper to use than olive oil. 700 00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 1: So you have to be. 701 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:40,240 Speaker 2: Really send a lot of la places where you're paying 702 00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,440 Speaker 2: a lot for healthy options. And then I've called them 703 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 2: when I've been really strict with it, and my husband's 704 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:50,080 Speaker 2: been on like a plan where he really can't have seededs. 705 00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,399 Speaker 2: So I call them up and we ask and it's 706 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: like that, it's all the healthy restaurants that we called, 707 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:57,880 Speaker 2: they were still cooking in those oils totally. 708 00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:59,120 Speaker 3: It is so fascinating. 709 00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: You should use the app seed Oil Scout. It's amazing. 710 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:06,840 Speaker 1: So yeah, they have. It's an incredible app. They basically 711 00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:09,000 Speaker 1: have a map and you can search a restaurant and 712 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,399 Speaker 1: it'll say seed oil free or not, and it'll say 713 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:15,479 Speaker 1: dine fearlessly or dine shamelessly. And it's a really great 714 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 1: app to just like navigate, you know, going to go 715 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: into restaurants and stuff, but also just ask. You know, 716 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,240 Speaker 1: if you're going to a restaurant and paying for food, 717 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,400 Speaker 1: you have the right to ask. So those are the 718 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:27,319 Speaker 1: top three I would say that people should avoid. But 719 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,839 Speaker 1: then just put simply just get curious. Like when you 720 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,920 Speaker 1: buy a food, don't just look at the label if 721 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: it says low sugar, high protein, or healthy or vegan 722 00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,960 Speaker 1: or gluten free and just assume that it's healthy. Actually 723 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,160 Speaker 1: turn the package over, look at the ingredient label and 724 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,680 Speaker 1: go through the ingredients and look and see, are these 725 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: single ingredient whole foods that I actually recognize or is 726 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:56,879 Speaker 1: there something in here that I don't recognize? And if 727 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,920 Speaker 1: you don't recognize it, ask someone about it or look 728 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: it up. We have Google, we have chat, GPT, now 729 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: you can look up anything. Just look up an ingredient 730 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:10,200 Speaker 1: and say what is this before you buy something, and 731 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: just get into the habit of doing that, getting curious, 732 00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: asking questions, reading labels. Because your body is your own 733 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,520 Speaker 1: home for the rest of your life, so you should 734 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,560 Speaker 1: take care of it as best as you can, and 735 00:39:22,600 --> 00:39:26,600 Speaker 1: that involves just really being careful about what you're eating. 736 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:29,600 Speaker 1: And the reality is in America we have to just 737 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 1: be extra careful. So those are those are some of 738 00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: the tips that. 739 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 3: I would you What was do you recommend people cook 740 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:37,839 Speaker 3: in at home? 741 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, so olive oil, extra virgin olive oil for like 742 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:46,040 Speaker 1: raw or low heat cooking. So for any salad dressings 743 00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: or low heat cooking, I always recommend olive oil. It 744 00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,880 Speaker 1: has a lower smoke point for any high heat cooking. 745 00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:55,400 Speaker 1: So like if you're roasting vegetables in an oven, I 746 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:59,360 Speaker 1: recommend avocado oil because it has a higher smoke point, 747 00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 1: so it's better for high heat cooking. 748 00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,040 Speaker 3: So I use as well. They're my favorite too. 749 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:06,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you just have to be careful again because 750 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,960 Speaker 1: there's there are again unfortunately, olive oils that are mixed 751 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,920 Speaker 1: with you know, canol oil. Even though it'll say it 752 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 1: olive oil on the surface, you turn over it and 753 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: it'll say a mix between canola and olive oil. So 754 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 1: recommend looking for things like extra virgin raw unrefined on 755 00:40:22,320 --> 00:40:24,799 Speaker 1: the label, so you know and look and see that 756 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 1: it's as one hundred percent pure extra virgin olive oils 757 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,319 Speaker 1: that you know that that's really what it is. 758 00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I always I noticed that my health 759 00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 2: changed when I became like an active participant in my health. 760 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,640 Speaker 2: And I think that's really what you're saying really hit 761 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:43,279 Speaker 2: me because I think had I not, my health could 762 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,000 Speaker 2: have gone in a completely different direction. 763 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,319 Speaker 3: But it takes work. 764 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 2: It's like, I think we're so used to putting our 765 00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,520 Speaker 2: health into other people's hands that we become lazy with 766 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,719 Speaker 2: our own participation in our own health, in our own 767 00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:58,000 Speaker 2: body and our own recognition. It's like, oh, if I 768 00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:00,200 Speaker 2: feel on well, I'll just go here and someone can tell. 769 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,359 Speaker 2: And I think the moment you decide that you're going 770 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,040 Speaker 2: to invest your time in, you invest your energy into 771 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 2: your own life, invest energy. 772 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 3: Into reading labels. 773 00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,120 Speaker 2: Of course, it takes longer at the beginning of like 774 00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 2: changing your health, it does take a little bit more time. 775 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,640 Speaker 2: You have to spend a little bit more time when 776 00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 2: you're shopping. You have to you know, when I turn 777 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,120 Speaker 2: plant based, it took so much time having to read 778 00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 2: every single label, having to ask every single question when 779 00:41:25,080 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 2: I go to restaurants, having to look at every label 780 00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,319 Speaker 2: when I'm looking at clothing or whatever it was. It 781 00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,080 Speaker 2: definitely takes way more energy. It still does, even if 782 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,160 Speaker 2: though I've been plant based for like ten years now, 783 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,160 Speaker 2: it still involves me putting in a little bit more 784 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 2: effort than I used to. But I think that investment 785 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:45,959 Speaker 2: is like the best investment that you can possibly make 786 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 2: in time and energy in education is to improve your health, 787 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,680 Speaker 2: because I mean, if you don't have your health, you 788 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 2: can't do anything you want to. 789 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:55,399 Speaker 3: Do in your life. 790 00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 2: Your physical body isn't present and working, you know. I 791 00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,440 Speaker 2: remember when I got really deep into my spiritual practices, 792 00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 2: I focus completely on my spiritual practices and I was 793 00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:07,960 Speaker 2: almost neglecting my physical health. And it made me realize that, well, 794 00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,520 Speaker 2: if I have my spiritual practices, but I'm not able 795 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,040 Speaker 2: to embrace those spiritual practices to then physically help other 796 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,319 Speaker 2: people and be a better person for other people, then 797 00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 2: what is my physical body here for? So whatever else 798 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:26,480 Speaker 2: you're doing is directly impacting and impacted by your. 799 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,880 Speaker 3: Physical body one hundred percent. 800 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 2: And so even if you think of it as a vessel, well, 801 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:31,480 Speaker 2: do you want it to be a vessel that is 802 00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,480 Speaker 2: well oiled, well looked after, well kept or is it 803 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 2: going to be a vessel that's going to cause you 804 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,880 Speaker 2: issues for the rest of your life and burden you 805 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,160 Speaker 2: and probably the people around you totally. 806 00:42:41,239 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: I always say to people, if you don't make time 807 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,839 Speaker 1: for your wellness, you will be forced to make time 808 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 1: for your illness. Yes, yes, one hundred percent. True health 809 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,600 Speaker 1: is in my view, a billion dollar asset. It's the 810 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 1: most important thing that you have for the rest of 811 00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,279 Speaker 1: your life. Your body is your home for the rest 812 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,600 Speaker 1: of your life. It's so, so, so important. And to 813 00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 1: address that point about spirituality, cleansing your physical vessel, and 814 00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,520 Speaker 1: you know, regenerating your cells at the cellular level and 815 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 1: optimizing your health and vitality creates unlocks in the mental, emotional, 816 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,839 Speaker 1: and spiritual realm. So you know, oftentimes I see people 817 00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,120 Speaker 1: who want to deepen their mental emotional spiritual practices and they, 818 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,799 Speaker 1: you know, feel an overwhelming amount of toxicity in their 819 00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: physical body. They're experiencing physical symptoms or too tired to 820 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:37,319 Speaker 1: get out of bed, floating gas. And I'm like, you cannot, 821 00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: You cannot possibly optimize your mental, emotional, spiritual wellbeing and 822 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,960 Speaker 1: really tap into a higher power or something greater than 823 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,360 Speaker 1: yourself if you are not even connected to yourself. 824 00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:54,040 Speaker 2: Yes, And I feel like energetic blocks intertwined with physical 825 00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:56,760 Speaker 2: blocks in the body, and so if your physical channels 826 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,800 Speaker 2: of blocks, it also would be that you'll spiritual channels 827 00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,080 Speaker 2: are blocked, and your energetic channels are blocked, and your 828 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,719 Speaker 2: emphatic channels are blocked, and so I think it all 829 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 2: really plays part in each other. When your energy channels 830 00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:10,600 Speaker 2: are blocked, it impacts your physical body. 831 00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:12,759 Speaker 3: You feel aches, you feel pained, You. 832 00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 2: Don't understand why they're there because you may not have 833 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 2: even done anything to them. But energetically or with whether 834 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:21,239 Speaker 2: it's anxiety, whether it's mood, whether it's whatever it is 835 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,239 Speaker 2: that is also impacting your physical body. So how can 836 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,640 Speaker 2: your physical body not then have an impact on your 837 00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:30,880 Speaker 2: spiritual or energetic body totally? So we talk about groceries, 838 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 2: and then the next thing I wanted to ask you 839 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,399 Speaker 2: was household products, because it's not just what you eat, 840 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:39,040 Speaker 2: it's what you put onto your body. And I remember 841 00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: reading this book. It's called Fatal Conveniences Ahead of It 842 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,759 Speaker 2: or Fatal Inconveniences. It's a really great book. I feel 843 00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:49,360 Speaker 2: like you really like it as well. It's all the 844 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:51,799 Speaker 2: things about the things that have made life more convenient 845 00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 2: but are actually fatal to our house totally. It's like 846 00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:58,600 Speaker 2: Daniel orient I went on his podcast, he was really brilliant. 847 00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:00,799 Speaker 2: I feel like you two should definitely connect total look 848 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:05,200 Speaker 2: it up second d Yeah, I know him Darren dar Yes. 849 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:10,160 Speaker 3: Facial Conveniences by Darren orian is it Oli. 850 00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:13,759 Speaker 2: I know him, Darren Olien, and we had such a 851 00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 2: great conversation and then I read his book and it 852 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 2: was just brilliant, Like it's the toxic products and harmful 853 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,200 Speaker 2: habits that am making you sick, and it's simple things 854 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,359 Speaker 2: that people just have no idea about, but that can 855 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,840 Speaker 2: make such a difference to your daily habits. 856 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: Yeah. My first book from Within that's before the one 857 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,919 Speaker 1: you read, it has a has a section called clean 858 00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 1: Better for You Brands. Obviously these change and evolve over time, 859 00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:39,960 Speaker 1: so it's I need to read your first a little 860 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,520 Speaker 1: bit outdated. It's more about gut health that book, but 861 00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:44,720 Speaker 1: it has a list of clean Better for You brands 862 00:45:44,719 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 1: by category. I'm actually planning on making and launching an 863 00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:50,440 Speaker 1: updated list because I think it's just so helpful for 864 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,480 Speaker 1: people who are you know, this is second nature to me, 865 00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:57,400 Speaker 1: but the average person is so inundated and overwhelmed that 866 00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,319 Speaker 1: these lists make such a difference. And now a Sea 867 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:01,839 Speaker 1: grocery store, Yeah, so. 868 00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:04,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would love just like you gave those top 869 00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:06,200 Speaker 2: three for food, what are the top three things for 870 00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 2: people to look out for in household products to avoid. 871 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:14,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, so household products, I would say, I mean, there's 872 00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:19,000 Speaker 1: so many different chemicals and toxins and preservatives. I would 873 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:26,560 Speaker 1: say in household products specifically, it would be chlorine, formaldehyde, parabins, 874 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:33,239 Speaker 1: and phalates. So oftentimes things with fragrances have a lot 875 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,880 Speaker 1: of these chemicals that I'm talking about. So for household 876 00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:41,319 Speaker 1: products specifically, there's a few that I recommend. I love 877 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:48,240 Speaker 1: Branch Basics. They're you know, vallate, parabin chlorine, formaldehyde free. 878 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,800 Speaker 1: They have these beautiful reusable glass bottles and you actually 879 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,480 Speaker 1: make your own mixture. So you buy this concentrate and 880 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,400 Speaker 1: then you mix that concentrate with water and it actually 881 00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: you know, the the package up front because you're buying 882 00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:05,239 Speaker 1: the glass bottles, you're investing, but when you have that concentrate, 883 00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,600 Speaker 1: it actually lasts you a really, really long time. Another 884 00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 1: one is blue Land. I love their products, and then 885 00:47:11,480 --> 00:47:14,640 Speaker 1: another one is Quala Eco. I love their products. But yeah, 886 00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,719 Speaker 1: I think also with these products, you know, you are 887 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: benefiting the environment too. So they have they you know, 888 00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,839 Speaker 1: have glass bottles that you can buy and then you 889 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,360 Speaker 1: refill them on your own and so you're you're reducing 890 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,960 Speaker 1: plastic waste of course by using those products. So that's 891 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: what I would recommend for for a household. And honestly, 892 00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,719 Speaker 1: you can make your own stuff. But go on chat 893 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,799 Speaker 1: GPD and be like, how do I make a you know, 894 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 1: use vinegar and water and make it cleaner at home? 895 00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: Like if if you can't afford some of these products, 896 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 1: which I totally understand, you can DIY and make your 897 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:50,359 Speaker 1: own product at home. 898 00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,319 Speaker 2: I love that you gave I know this wasn't your 899 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:56,320 Speaker 2: detox formula. You talk about it from an old scientist 900 00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:59,040 Speaker 2: that came up with a detox formula. Can you tell 901 00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:01,120 Speaker 2: us a little bit about that, because I really appreciate 902 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:02,160 Speaker 2: it the way you explained it. 903 00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:08,319 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, So Arnold Erat is one of the you know, 904 00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:12,680 Speaker 1: the founders of this sort of cleansing lifestyle. He wrote 905 00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:15,200 Speaker 1: a book in nineteen twenty two called Mucoslis Diet Healing 906 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,279 Speaker 1: System and I've read that but it's so funny. It's 907 00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,160 Speaker 1: in like super old English, like you can barely understand it, 908 00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: but it's one of my favorites and I've read it 909 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,720 Speaker 1: probably five or six times. But he has a formula 910 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,120 Speaker 1: in there called vitality equals power minus obstruction and in essence, 911 00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,200 Speaker 1: and what I talk about so much over and over 912 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:40,640 Speaker 1: again is the majority of people think that the inputs 913 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:43,520 Speaker 1: like what food you eat, what supplements you take, what 914 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:45,960 Speaker 1: treatments you do, what products you put on your skin, 915 00:48:46,040 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 1: will give you the physical results you're looking for. But 916 00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:52,040 Speaker 1: that simply isn't true. It's way more about the outputs 917 00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 1: than the inputs. So in essence, what this formula is 918 00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:00,360 Speaker 1: saying is you need to remove the obstruction, remove be 919 00:49:00,560 --> 00:49:05,360 Speaker 1: built up accumulated toxic waste matter within your body, and 920 00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 1: when you do so, you get to the place of 921 00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 1: increasing your vitality, your life force, energy and vitality that 922 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,479 Speaker 1: you want and very much deserve as a person living 923 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,960 Speaker 1: in this world. And so again it's really about the 924 00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,480 Speaker 1: outputs more than the inputs. It's about removing that obstruction 925 00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: that allows for you to achieve your greatest physical, mental, emotional, 926 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:33,440 Speaker 1: and spiritual potential. And that's really the key. And if 927 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:37,279 Speaker 1: someone doesn't remember anything from this podcast, that's what I 928 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,279 Speaker 1: want them to remember is that it's way more about 929 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,520 Speaker 1: the outputs and the inputs, and that's really the core 930 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,160 Speaker 1: sort of philosophy and approach of my work. 931 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:49,120 Speaker 2: I completely agree with you because I notice for myself 932 00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 2: that when I am eating better, when I am doing 933 00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 2: my workouts, when I'm making sure that I'm getting all 934 00:49:56,600 --> 00:49:59,719 Speaker 2: those outputs like detoxing my body on a regular basis, 935 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 2: in way, in very subtle ways, it changes the things 936 00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,839 Speaker 2: that I want to do. So it actually the more 937 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,279 Speaker 2: healthy habits you start, and it start to incorporate the 938 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,560 Speaker 2: healthier habits you want to create totally. 939 00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,439 Speaker 3: Or like I if I end up. 940 00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,839 Speaker 2: Eating better for a week, I start craving better things 941 00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,160 Speaker 2: for me. I don't crave sugar as much. I don't 942 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,560 Speaker 2: crave my refined carbohy, don't crave the pizzas. And if 943 00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,080 Speaker 2: I do, then I'm like, oh, let me make it 944 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:26,560 Speaker 2: myself at home. I don't crave junk food as much. 945 00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 2: So as soon as you start outputting and taking those 946 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,319 Speaker 2: things out of your body, the more you end up 947 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:35,200 Speaker 2: wanting the things that your body actually needs. And I 948 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,000 Speaker 2: think it's because when you also have a lot of 949 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,880 Speaker 2: toxins in your body, it kind of it's almost like 950 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,360 Speaker 2: having a covering over the real things that your body wants, 951 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:47,840 Speaker 2: and so you end up having all these toxins that 952 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:52,439 Speaker 2: are covering up your senses. You know, all the things 953 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,080 Speaker 2: on your tongue that are telling you what you want 954 00:50:54,080 --> 00:50:56,840 Speaker 2: to eat. Your digestive system is all confused, and so 955 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 2: actually what your body is craving. The signals are all 956 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,480 Speaker 2: all confused, and so as soon as you start taking 957 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:05,239 Speaker 2: out of your body, your body's like, oh, actually I 958 00:51:05,280 --> 00:51:07,759 Speaker 2: do want to sue, Actually I do really want to 959 00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 2: eat some vegetables, and oh I'm lacking these vitamins, and 960 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 2: your body will start telling you what to eat for 961 00:51:12,840 --> 00:51:15,400 Speaker 2: that it starts recognizing it, and it starts telling you 962 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:16,759 Speaker 2: that this is what I want, This is what I 963 00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 2: definitely don't need in my body. And I think those 964 00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 2: cues are almost lost. The greater and greater the toxin 965 00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:25,719 Speaker 2: toxic load is in your body. 966 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:29,720 Speaker 1: Totally, this toxic load is creating mitochondrial dysfunction, so cells 967 00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:33,279 Speaker 1: are just damaged and just not functioning properly. And when 968 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:36,600 Speaker 1: your cells are not functioning properly, you are not connected 969 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 1: to your body and its signals. When you start cleansing 970 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:44,239 Speaker 1: your body, it's again, it's not about deprivation. It's your 971 00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:51,120 Speaker 1: coming back to your original stay, your original true essence, 972 00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: and really coming back to the foods that nature has 973 00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,839 Speaker 1: given us, that your body is meant to eat, Your 974 00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:02,000 Speaker 1: body is meant to consume and digest your when you cleanse, 975 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,760 Speaker 1: When you cleanse at the cellar level, your taste buds, 976 00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:06,640 Speaker 1: your cravings, your appetite starts. 977 00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:07,640 Speaker 3: To change experience. 978 00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:11,000 Speaker 1: So right, It's so true, and it happens with my clients. 979 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: And people always come to me and they're like, don't 980 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,200 Speaker 1: you ever want like a pizza or this or that? 981 00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:19,000 Speaker 1: And I'm like, honestly, no, Like don't you do you 982 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:22,560 Speaker 1: have a cheat meal? And I'm like, I genuinely love 983 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:27,360 Speaker 1: my produce, my fresh fruits, my smoothies, my vegetables, my 984 00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,760 Speaker 1: obviously I'll go out to eat and maybe have something 985 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: once in a while, but I'm so my cells genuinely 986 00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:37,439 Speaker 1: want the food that nature has given us because that's 987 00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 1: what's meant for us. And so cleansing is about coming 988 00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: back to that original state. 989 00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,440 Speaker 2: I love what you said about it's not deprivation, because 990 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:49,000 Speaker 2: I find with society being you know, all of us, 991 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:53,960 Speaker 2: we're so used to instant gratification and instantly satisfying our 992 00:52:54,080 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 2: senses that you see removing as being Deprivingah, But actually 993 00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:03,520 Speaker 2: I always see most of the time for me, removing 994 00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:06,600 Speaker 2: has meant freeing, like totally, It's freed me from being 995 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,920 Speaker 2: controlled by my senses. It's freed me from being controlled 996 00:53:09,960 --> 00:53:13,759 Speaker 2: by my environment. And so what looks like deprivation and 997 00:53:13,880 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 2: sometimes discipline can look like deprivation, but actually it is 998 00:53:18,000 --> 00:53:23,640 Speaker 2: so freeing and expandive, expanding or expansive then actually being 999 00:53:23,719 --> 00:53:27,719 Speaker 2: controlled by your senses, being controlled by the food that 1000 00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 2: you're eating. That's that's addicting you to that food over 1001 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,879 Speaker 2: and over again. Yeah, and so yeah, I actually think 1002 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 2: once you what you said, it's like if it feels 1003 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 2: so good, like when you eat foods and vegetables, that 1004 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:43,359 Speaker 2: actually does feel good. So how are we confusing that 1005 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:45,680 Speaker 2: with being something that's bad for you? Or like that 1006 00:53:45,760 --> 00:53:48,640 Speaker 2: isn't that isn't something that you would want. But I 1007 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:50,520 Speaker 2: think it is the mixing of signals in our body 1008 00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,399 Speaker 2: once you end up just having things which eventually throw 1009 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,560 Speaker 2: your body off so much. 1010 00:53:54,960 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think there's an easy mindset shift. I 1011 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:00,440 Speaker 1: think we live in a world of diet called toxic 1012 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:05,920 Speaker 1: diet culture, right that really permeates this contractive scarcity mindset. 1013 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:10,760 Speaker 1: So counting calories, counting macros, focusing on what you can't eat, 1014 00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 1: focusing on what you are not allowed to have, And 1015 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,000 Speaker 1: when you're in that mindset, it's contractive, it's very restrictive. 1016 00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,279 Speaker 1: It's a scarcity mindset. So when you switch into an 1017 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:27,080 Speaker 1: abundance mindset, what I can have, what will nourish my body, 1018 00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:30,120 Speaker 1: the beautiful abundance of fruits and vegetables that are on 1019 00:54:30,160 --> 00:54:34,080 Speaker 1: my plate right now, it's going to make the experience 1020 00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,640 Speaker 1: so much more enjoyable, right Because it's like, it's do 1021 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: you want to live in a state of contraction and 1022 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:43,319 Speaker 1: approach life in a contractive way, or do you want 1023 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,680 Speaker 1: to live life from a place of expansion. And this 1024 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,520 Speaker 1: doesn't just apply to food. This applies to literally every 1025 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:51,600 Speaker 1: area of life. But it's especially important for people who 1026 00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 1: are going on this journey. Focus on your why. What 1027 00:54:55,239 --> 00:54:57,920 Speaker 1: is your why? It's not to don't weight loss is 1028 00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: such a contractive? Why is it to wake up early 1029 00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:03,120 Speaker 1: with energy and be able to bring your kids to 1030 00:55:03,160 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: school and you know, be present for them. Is that 1031 00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,640 Speaker 1: to like be able to run a marathon in six months? 1032 00:55:09,640 --> 00:55:13,120 Speaker 1: Like focus on something that is expansive versus just on 1033 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,279 Speaker 1: something that is contractive like weight loss, because the weight 1034 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:20,200 Speaker 1: will be a byproduct of you know, the journey, just 1035 00:55:20,239 --> 00:55:22,280 Speaker 1: by way of you coming home to yourself. 1036 00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:24,320 Speaker 3: So true. 1037 00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,920 Speaker 2: You also, you know, you've been speaking about the different 1038 00:55:28,920 --> 00:55:32,600 Speaker 2: types of detoxing that we can do, and really want 1039 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 2: to get onto that because I'm sure many people are wondering, 1040 00:55:35,400 --> 00:55:37,319 Speaker 2: but like, how do I detox? So? What can I 1041 00:55:37,360 --> 00:55:39,799 Speaker 2: do to get these tuxins out of my body? So 1042 00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,560 Speaker 2: could you break down the different methods of detoxing that 1043 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 2: exist and the easy ways to do it maybe for 1044 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:49,520 Speaker 2: people at home, and also the complex ones where maybe 1045 00:55:49,520 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 2: you need a professional to do it with you. 1046 00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,200 Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, I think when a lot of people hear 1047 00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 1: the word cleansing cleanses, they think of like juice cleanses, right, 1048 00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,400 Speaker 1: And again that's a focus on the inputs, not the output. 1049 00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,320 Speaker 1: So when I talk about cleansing, I'm talking about cleansing 1050 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:08,920 Speaker 1: that helps to release waste from the body. So starting 1051 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:14,640 Speaker 1: with colon cleansing modalities, colonics, enemas, colon cleansing supplements, liver cleansing, 1052 00:56:14,760 --> 00:56:20,880 Speaker 1: liver cleansing supplements, liver flushes, and then modalities you know 1053 00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:25,120 Speaker 1: that are more advanced, like parasite cleansing, mold detoxification, Heavy 1054 00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 1: metal detoxification, additional potential metabolic support, of mitochondrial support, or 1055 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 1: whatever else my can data detoxification. These are all modalities 1056 00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,520 Speaker 1: that I use in my practice. But what I will 1057 00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:41,759 Speaker 1: say first and foremost what I said before is a 1058 00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: slow moving colon prevents all other organs and systems from 1059 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:50,279 Speaker 1: functioning effectively. So the first and utmost importance should be 1060 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,960 Speaker 1: to get to eliminating two to three times a day 1061 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,720 Speaker 1: and clearing your colon. I think a lot of people 1062 00:56:57,800 --> 00:57:00,160 Speaker 1: right now with TikTok and Instagram or like, oh, I 1063 00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,200 Speaker 1: want to do this parasite cleanse or this liver flesh 1064 00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: or whatever, they're you know, finding things and trying to 1065 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,360 Speaker 1: do these things. But that can actually be really harmful 1066 00:57:08,400 --> 00:57:11,400 Speaker 1: to the body if your colon is blocked. And so 1067 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:15,000 Speaker 1: the first and most important thing you need to do 1068 00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: on your cleansing journey is to focus on the colon, 1069 00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,880 Speaker 1: to focus on getting that waste out of your colon 1070 00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,120 Speaker 1: and eliminating two to three times a day before you 1071 00:57:24,200 --> 00:57:26,840 Speaker 1: move on to other organs and systems within the body. 1072 00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 2: So these supplements for that that you recommend, like do 1073 00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,360 Speaker 2: you recommend prem probiotics? Do you like what are the 1074 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,280 Speaker 2: gut friendly things that one can do to improve. 1075 00:57:35,920 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 1: That, Yeah, totally. So just you know, basic things that 1076 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:43,200 Speaker 1: I talk about in my book actually has very specific 1077 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:48,800 Speaker 1: you know, beginner, intermediate, advance, and expert food and eating protocols. 1078 00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:52,640 Speaker 1: So eating, as I mentioned before, more fiber, eating more 1079 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:57,840 Speaker 1: plant based whole foods. Fiber is supporting the not only 1080 00:57:57,880 --> 00:58:01,640 Speaker 1: are you getting vitamins, minerals, nutrients, dioxidants, live enzymes from 1081 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 1: these foods, but fiber is actually acting as an intestinal 1082 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,880 Speaker 1: broom that sweeps up all of this built up matter 1083 00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: in your system. So getting more fiber, you know, ninety 1084 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 1: seven percent of Americans are not getting the recommended amount 1085 00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,240 Speaker 1: of fiber. So that's just like the easiest thing ever 1086 00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:21,800 Speaker 1: to really start that colon cleansing process staying super hydrated. 1087 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:27,440 Speaker 1: And then you know, I recommend supplements in my book. 1088 00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,120 Speaker 1: I have a chapter called Colon Cleansing Supplements. Magnesium oxide 1089 00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: is a really good supplement not only helps with sleep, 1090 00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: but helps with colon cleansing and elimination. So if you're 1091 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,960 Speaker 1: looking for something at home to really like help with 1092 00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:40,960 Speaker 1: sort of you don't want to, you don't want to, 1093 00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, take it forever, but it's a really good 1094 00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 1: thing to help with sort of the release of waste. 1095 00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,320 Speaker 1: And then I have some other products in there that 1096 00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:51,920 Speaker 1: I recommend. You have to be a little bit careful 1097 00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:54,120 Speaker 1: with some of them, but in the book I talk 1098 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,520 Speaker 1: through those and then things like colonics and enemas, So I, 1099 00:58:57,720 --> 00:59:01,840 Speaker 1: you know, recommend colonics for anyone who has access to them, 1100 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:04,520 Speaker 1: and then enemas if you don't have access to KLONICX. 1101 00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:08,240 Speaker 1: But those are some colon cleansing modalities that I do recommend. 1102 00:59:08,880 --> 00:59:11,200 Speaker 1: And then you know, through my practice, I go into 1103 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:16,160 Speaker 1: much deeper work, whether it's liver or parasites or mold 1104 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: or heavy metals. But before you do the targeted cleanses, 1105 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:23,040 Speaker 1: like let's say someone has mold toxicity. If we're trying 1106 00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: to do a mold detox, but their colon is blocked 1107 00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 1: and we're trying to detox it, it just gets stuck 1108 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,560 Speaker 1: and gets recirculated through the body, which can actually do 1109 00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,720 Speaker 1: more harm than good. Same thing with parasite clones. As 1110 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 1: parasite cleanses are all the rage. I see all these 1111 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: girls on social media doing parasite cleansing. But if you're 1112 00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 1: constipated and you're trying to do a parasite cleanse and 1113 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,800 Speaker 1: you kill a parasite and it's dying off and it 1114 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: has nowhere to go. It's going to recirculate through your body. 1115 00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 1: So you really have to do cleansing in the right order, definitely, 1116 00:59:54,200 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 1: And the first and most important thing is to open 1117 00:59:56,320 --> 00:59:59,680 Speaker 1: up your detoxification pathways, your colon, your liverly or lymphatic 1118 00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 1: system before you go into anything more targeted for the body. 1119 01:00:04,040 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 3: So much sense. 1120 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:08,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, even with ira Vada, when people go into like 1121 01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:11,960 Speaker 2: crash punch of karamas, no, it's it's almost like your 1122 01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,280 Speaker 2: body may not even be ready for that detox. You 1123 01:00:14,280 --> 01:00:16,520 Speaker 2: have to you have to prepare for it to be 1124 01:00:16,560 --> 01:00:19,560 Speaker 2: able to have it. So it's actually usually at least 1125 01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:22,480 Speaker 2: a month long of a process where you're slowly making 1126 01:00:22,880 --> 01:00:25,919 Speaker 2: your way through that detox totally. But people will be like, Okay, 1127 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 2: I want a five day crash punch your karma, and 1128 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,919 Speaker 2: then you're taking all these things and like punch a karama. 1129 01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 2: You have to take a lot of things because that's 1130 01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,120 Speaker 2: exactly what it's doing. It's getting the chest. So you 1131 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,280 Speaker 2: have like two to three massages a day, You drink 1132 01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 2: certain like whales and stuff to move things through your body. 1133 01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:44,240 Speaker 2: And if you're doing that within five days one you 1134 01:00:44,280 --> 01:00:46,120 Speaker 2: then go back to the normal lifestyle that you were 1135 01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 2: in straight after those five days, and your body's still 1136 01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:51,480 Speaker 2: detoxing and then you're filling it back up with things. 1137 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,080 Speaker 2: But also your body is not prepared for it. It's 1138 01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 2: not ready to actually you have to open those channels 1139 01:00:56,840 --> 01:01:00,440 Speaker 2: up for the toxins to actually be released. And so 1140 01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 2: for a lot of people I've noticed that they get 1141 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:08,440 Speaker 2: actually really bad digestive issues after coming back from doing 1142 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 2: a detox totally, it's because their body was just not 1143 01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:12,960 Speaker 2: ready for it totally. 1144 01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:17,520 Speaker 1: So something to be aware of with detoxification is detox symptoms. 1145 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: So I always say the symptoms are the cure. When 1146 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 1: your body is releasing waste through all these channels, sometimes 1147 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 1: things get worse before they get better. So you will 1148 01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 1: experience more digestive issues, more acne, you know, like more fatigue, more, 1149 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,920 Speaker 1: And it's because waste is literally being expelled from the 1150 01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,520 Speaker 1: channels within your body. And so if you try to 1151 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:43,840 Speaker 1: detox too fast. So an example is if you're eating 1152 01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 1: three cheeseburgers a day and then you become a raw vegan, 1153 01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: your body is you're going to get I've had clients 1154 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:54,000 Speaker 1: literally get sick because they're trying to do too much 1155 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 1: too fast, and so you have to be really careful. 1156 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:59,440 Speaker 1: But also know that if you do see symptoms, if 1157 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: you are trying to gently detox, know that the symptoms 1158 01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,240 Speaker 1: are the cure. And oftentimes this means that you are 1159 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: opening up your detox pathways and that you're on the 1160 01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:11,120 Speaker 1: right track. I hear a lot of people they'll be like, oh, 1161 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,680 Speaker 1: I can't eat raw vegetables like I get you. 1162 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 3: Know so much. 1163 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 1: That's because there's tons of fiber in that food. The 1164 01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 1: fiber is coming in and acting as an intestinal broom 1165 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:23,920 Speaker 1: and sweeping up the build up in your system, and 1166 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,520 Speaker 1: you feel sick because your body is detoxing. So people 1167 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,080 Speaker 1: stay away from those foods and say, oh, no, I 1168 01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 1: feel better when I eat pasta and bagels. I've had 1169 01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: that so much totally, so when in reality, those foods 1170 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: are actually cleansing the body. And another thing I'll say 1171 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,560 Speaker 1: is cleansing is a process. It's a lifestyle. It's not 1172 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:44,280 Speaker 1: a one time event. So we live in a world 1173 01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,280 Speaker 1: in which it's like, Okay, let me do this five 1174 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,440 Speaker 1: day juice cleans or this is going to be cured everything, 1175 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: and then I'll be cured at this liver flesh, and 1176 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,640 Speaker 1: I'll be cured of everything, and it doesn't work that way. 1177 01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,840 Speaker 1: The goal is not to implement all these cleansing modalities 1178 01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,800 Speaker 1: all that all at once. It's to do so in 1179 01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 1: a way that feels realistic and capable to you, but 1180 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:05,400 Speaker 1: also allow ample time for hydration, rest restoration. You shouldn't 1181 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,000 Speaker 1: be doing all this stuff all at once. I have 1182 01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: clients that work with me minimum three months, sometimes up 1183 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,080 Speaker 1: to six months, sometimes longer, because this is a journey, 1184 01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:17,120 Speaker 1: right If you're a forty year old person, you have 1185 01:03:17,160 --> 01:03:19,880 Speaker 1: forty years of waste accumulation and your body that doesn't 1186 01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:23,240 Speaker 1: just happen in a week. That needs time. You need 1187 01:03:23,320 --> 01:03:26,440 Speaker 1: time to you know, decompressed and rest and hydrate and 1188 01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:27,720 Speaker 1: restore and all these things. 1189 01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 3: So I feel that way. 1190 01:03:28,720 --> 01:03:32,000 Speaker 2: Off to lymphatic massages sometimes totally where you end up 1191 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 2: feeling a little bit like you're getting under the weather 1192 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,160 Speaker 2: or you feel congested. But then a couple of days later, 1193 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:42,440 Speaker 2: if I've been drinking enough waters, I feel the benefits, 1194 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:45,320 Speaker 2: but I definitely feel that initial like, oh, after I've 1195 01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 2: been traveling too much, maybe had late nights, whatever, there's 1196 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,720 Speaker 2: been tuxing boat up. Then I end up having a 1197 01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:53,600 Speaker 2: lymphatic massage and I'm like, oh, I actually feel worse 1198 01:03:53,680 --> 01:03:55,160 Speaker 2: the next day, and then I feel back there. 1199 01:03:55,280 --> 01:03:58,640 Speaker 1: It's like getting the flu like people people are always like, oh, 1200 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,840 Speaker 1: I'm sick, and I'm like, it's actually a good thing. 1201 01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 1: Your body is like having basically a spiritual like physical, mental, emotional, 1202 01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,040 Speaker 1: spiritual upgrade. Your body's ridding itself of all of these toxins. 1203 01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,480 Speaker 1: You're not hungry because your body is focusing on waste elimination, 1204 01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:18,960 Speaker 1: and then after you feel incredible because your body just 1205 01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: went through basically a natural detoxifying process. 1206 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:27,120 Speaker 2: So everyone enjoy your flues. The last question I want 1207 01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 2: to ask you is what tests should people be doing 1208 01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:33,280 Speaker 2: to find out what their toxic load is, what toxins 1209 01:04:33,320 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 2: they have in their body? Is a specific ones to 1210 01:04:36,320 --> 01:04:38,520 Speaker 2: ask for What should people be doing? 1211 01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, So first and foremost, what I'll say with testing 1212 01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 1: is we live in a world right now where I 1213 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 1: feel like functional medicine is a bit like pharma two 1214 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,400 Speaker 1: point zero and what I mean, but what I mean 1215 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,480 Speaker 1: by that is like a lot of time there's an 1216 01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:55,960 Speaker 1: over index on testing, and then you know people will 1217 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:59,680 Speaker 1: spend thousands dollars of dollars on test. Functional medicine doctors 1218 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:03,160 Speaker 1: will debscribe ten to fifteen supplements, and these people just 1219 01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:08,360 Speaker 1: don't really feel any better, And so yeah, I think 1220 01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, focus on the symptoms first and foremost. From 1221 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 1: a qualitative perspective, focus on your physical symptoms that you're experiencing, 1222 01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:21,080 Speaker 1: and definitely focus on cleansing because that's the most important thing, 1223 01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,440 Speaker 1: not inundating you with more supplements, more products, more things. 1224 01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:28,000 Speaker 1: From a testing perspective, there are so many different types 1225 01:05:28,040 --> 01:05:32,880 Speaker 1: of tests that can help with determining whether you have 1226 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,760 Speaker 1: different types of toxins within the body. So to give 1227 01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,360 Speaker 1: you an example, function Health is an incredible direct to 1228 01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,600 Speaker 1: consumer comprehensive lab testing company. I'm actually an investor. It's 1229 01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Mark Iman's company. Oh yeah, so I'm an investor and 1230 01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:52,120 Speaker 1: real yeah, he's great and it's a really incredible company. 1231 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 1: And they test like one hundred and fifty biomarkers for 1232 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,160 Speaker 1: I think four ninety nine a year, which is very 1233 01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 1: very reasonable for the amount of tests that they do need. 1234 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 1: Biomarkers they test for so you'll be able to see 1235 01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: elevated liver enzymes like Billy Ruben et cetera, which can 1236 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:09,400 Speaker 1: dictate that you have a malfunctioning liver. They test for 1237 01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:13,480 Speaker 1: some heavy metals in there, they test you know, metabolic. 1238 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: You know, this is all blood, so you're you know, 1239 01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 1: you're you're not getting everything through a blood panel. But 1240 01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,240 Speaker 1: this is definitely a really good start because you can 1241 01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,960 Speaker 1: check for a lot of what you need to know. 1242 01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 1: And then if you have very specific things that you 1243 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:33,720 Speaker 1: want to test for, like you know, parasites, you do 1244 01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,000 Speaker 1: probably a stool test. The unfortunate thing with stool tests 1245 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,320 Speaker 1: is that they only test for a certain number of parasites, 1246 01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,880 Speaker 1: when in reality there are like hundreds, right, so they're 1247 01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,400 Speaker 1: not it's not fully going to give you an answer 1248 01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: whether or not you have a parasite. But stool tests 1249 01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:53,560 Speaker 1: will check for candida parasites, and then molds you can 1250 01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,120 Speaker 1: do like a microtoxin test, which is for your body. 1251 01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:58,760 Speaker 1: And then you can also get someone to come into 1252 01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 1: your home and do a test or your home. So 1253 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:03,959 Speaker 1: if anyone's listening and they have questions, you could always 1254 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,320 Speaker 1: DM me. But yeah, there's so many different types of tests, 1255 01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,320 Speaker 1: and in my practice, if I feel like people need 1256 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,360 Speaker 1: to get specific tests to check for certain things, then 1257 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:18,160 Speaker 1: we will do so. But the reality is the majority 1258 01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:21,920 Speaker 1: of physical symptoms are resolved through cleansing. So what I've 1259 01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: seen in my practice is people have come to me 1260 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 1: spending thousands of dollars on test and they haven't seen 1261 01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:30,360 Speaker 1: any results. And then in our work together, even though 1262 01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:34,040 Speaker 1: we might not do any testing, they all their physical 1263 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,480 Speaker 1: symptoms go away. And that's because your body is its 1264 01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:42,560 Speaker 1: own healer. Your body is a self healing, self regenerating 1265 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 1: organism under the right conditions. We just need to give 1266 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 1: it those conditions. So when we cleanse the body, we 1267 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,640 Speaker 1: are giving your body the capacity to heal on its own, 1268 01:07:52,120 --> 01:07:54,640 Speaker 1: and it has the capacity to do so once we 1269 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 1: allow for it to heal. And so while testing does 1270 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 1: play a role, I think you know oftentimes it might 1271 01:08:02,120 --> 01:08:04,920 Speaker 1: not even be necessary when you're doing the right cleansing 1272 01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 1: in the right way. 1273 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 3: Ye, when you're tuning back in and listening to your body. 1274 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:08,280 Speaker 1: Total. 1275 01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:11,160 Speaker 2: This is a complete, well not completely unrelated question, because 1276 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:14,960 Speaker 2: your skin is a reflection of what you're eating and 1277 01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,000 Speaker 2: how are you looking off yourself? But what's your favorite 1278 01:08:17,360 --> 01:08:19,639 Speaker 2: clean skincare and what do you do for your skin? 1279 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:20,599 Speaker 2: Because it looks amazing. 1280 01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:25,800 Speaker 1: Thanks, I appreciate that, it's it's I always appreciate this because, 1281 01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: as I said, like, why I started my health journey 1282 01:08:28,240 --> 01:08:31,280 Speaker 1: when I was in my twenties, why I discovered colonics 1283 01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:33,439 Speaker 1: and cleansing was I had acne. So I had and 1284 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 1: the IUD gave me acne. So whenever someone tells me 1285 01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:39,120 Speaker 1: I'm glory, it is amazing, I'm like, it's all it's possible. 1286 01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,439 Speaker 1: I had. I had horrible skins. So yeah, I actually 1287 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,560 Speaker 1: use very little, so I'm pretty minimal. I use a 1288 01:08:47,600 --> 01:08:52,320 Speaker 1: company called clear Stem Skincare. They am friends with the founders, 1289 01:08:52,400 --> 01:08:55,120 Speaker 1: Danielle and Kayley. Kayley's actually in Venice as well, and 1290 01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm a partner of theirs. And it's no hormone disruptors, 1291 01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:04,679 Speaker 1: no toxins, no preservatives, no chemicals, and it's acne safe, 1292 01:09:04,760 --> 01:09:07,800 Speaker 1: which is cool because they don't use any poor clogging ingredients. 1293 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,760 Speaker 1: So things like coconut oil, shade, butter, et cetera. Are 1294 01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 1: very poor clogging for someone who's acne prone, so clear 1295 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 1: Stem doesn't use any of those. And then yeah, I 1296 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,679 Speaker 1: just don't really use that much, like I use maybe 1297 01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,080 Speaker 1: three products. I really believe that less is more, honestly, 1298 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,040 Speaker 1: and that you know, when people come to me and 1299 01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,400 Speaker 1: they ask me ask me these questions. I actually had 1300 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:31,400 Speaker 1: someone the other day stop me on a hike and 1301 01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,000 Speaker 1: I'm surprised. This is very like what you use and 1302 01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,680 Speaker 1: I was like, nothing, not much, but yeah, again it's 1303 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: a it's a reminder again clear Stem is an incredible 1304 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: product line. But good skin comes from within, right, It's 1305 01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 1: really a reflection of your internal state and that will 1306 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:49,679 Speaker 1: reflect outwards. So so yeah. 1307 01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 3: Thank you, thank you so much. 1308 01:09:51,439 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 2: This was such an informative session and podcast.
