Speaker 1: Jay Sheetty, Jay Shetty Selsy Only j shet Hey, everyone,
Speaker 1: Welcome back to on Purpose, the place you come to
Speaker 1: become happier, healthier, and more healed now. I love turning
Speaker 1: my offline relationships people. I'm a fan of bringing them
Speaker 1: onto the show and having the conversations where I'm speaking
Speaker 1: to a trusted expert. Today's guest is someone that I've
Speaker 1: followed on social media for a few years now, and
Speaker 1: anytime I have a question about a new supplement, a
Speaker 1: vitamin A product, this is the person that I go
Speaker 1: to to pick her brain to find out what she
Speaker 1: has to say about it, and considering I trust her
Speaker 1: so much offline, I thought I'd love to introduce you
Speaker 1: all to her online. I'm speaking about Alisa Goodman, who's
Speaker 1: an integrative holistic nutritionist. Alissa had issues with her health
Speaker 1: for her entire life, from cancer to autoimmune issues and
Speaker 1: hashimotos in her thirties, which inspired her to take control
Speaker 1: of her own health and the lives of people around
Speaker 1: the world. Alissa has created her own delivered EG kitchen
Speaker 1: cleans in La Alissa's EG Kitchen Cleans allows people to
Speaker 1: have nourishing, vibrant, healing food delivered right to their doorstep.
Speaker 1: Alissa has been seeing clients for a decade now and
Speaker 1: is part of the healing journey for thousands of people
Speaker 1: around the world. If you don't already follow her on
Speaker 1: social media, you definitely will after this. If you're someone
Speaker 1: who wants to work on your health, if you're someone
Speaker 1: who wants to get more connected with your body, and
Speaker 1: if you're someone who wants to know how to cleanse
Speaker 1: and detox, this episode is for you. Welcome to the show,
Speaker 1: Alissa Goodman.
Speaker 2: Thank you. What an introduction that was so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I have so much more I could say,
Speaker 1: but I stuck to the professional introduction. But we obviously
Speaker 1: have a wonderful personal connection too, I know.
Speaker 2: And I just I love what I do, so it
Speaker 2: comes easy as you can imagine, you know, I just
Speaker 2: I absolutely am obsessed with helping people get better.
Speaker 1: I can see that. I mean, anyone who follows you
Speaker 1: on social media will see it immediately, like it's so radiant,
Speaker 1: a vibrant, so true to who you are. And I
Speaker 1: think our audience is really going to find this fascinating
Speaker 1: because I don't think we've ever had a cleanse expert
Speaker 1: on the show before, and I wanted to start there, like, yeah,
Speaker 1: what is a cleanse expert?
Speaker 2: I know that's a great question because cleansing gets a
Speaker 2: bad connotation. I mean, detox cleanse is all about deprivation, starvation,
Speaker 2: and I would say that, you know, after I went
Speaker 2: to school, Integrated Holistic school, I became a cleans person
Speaker 2: for Cafe Gratitude M Cafe Erawuan, and I didn't know
Speaker 2: what it was, but I actually created these cleanses for
Speaker 2: these restaurants and handheld the cleansers throughout the five days
Speaker 2: or three days however long they were doing it and
Speaker 2: found out their ailments, what worked for them, what didn't
Speaker 2: work for them. One was vegan and one was you know,
Speaker 2: macrobiotic from M Cafe. And it was a beautiful thing
Speaker 2: because I saw in five days people can restore their body,
Speaker 2: reset their body, get better brain, you know, retention, better digestion,
Speaker 2: just weight loss in five days like crazy, so feel better, energy, mood,
Speaker 2: all of it. So it was really fascinating. I'm like, hm,
Speaker 2: there's something to this cleansing, and so I decided that
Speaker 2: it was those were a little bit more deprivation starvation.
Speaker 2: So I created a cleans nine years ago that wasn't
Speaker 2: about that. There's a lot of food on it. It's
Speaker 2: very anti inflammatory and it's giving you a lot of
Speaker 2: like fifty different vegetables and over five days, so it's
Speaker 2: super nurturing, nourishing, And that's what I'm trying to do
Speaker 2: for people is really introduce them to vegetables and plants
Speaker 2: and foods that are grown from the earth and taking
Speaker 2: away the inflammation. So that's what my cleans is all about.
Speaker 1: Why do people need to go on a cleanse.
Speaker 2: It's because most people eat unhealthy you know, they eat
Speaker 2: way too much processed food. They eat bad seed oils
Speaker 2: that are out there. We're eating out a lot. You know,
Speaker 2: we're stressed, so we're not even thinking about what we're eating.
Speaker 2: We're eating on the run. There's just like a lot.
Speaker 2: There's just the foods out there are have chemicals in
Speaker 2: them and are toxic. So I think that you know,
Speaker 2: everybody's like not feeling well, they're not energized. The brain
Speaker 2: fog is huge. Digestive issues are on the rise, autoimmune
Speaker 2: issues like we talked about cancer, you know, all of it, diabetes,
Speaker 2: and so they need to be reset. They need to
Speaker 2: have you know, someone kind of help guide them. And
Speaker 2: when you can deliver it to them so they don't
Speaker 2: have to cook it and don't have to meal prep it.
Speaker 2: It's the ultimate.
Speaker 1: How often do we need to go on a cleanse
Speaker 1: and how long does it need to be? How does
Speaker 1: that impact.
Speaker 2: That's also a great question because you can do my
Speaker 2: clans weekly. So because if you're it's mostly plant based,
Speaker 2: there is a bone broth, but if you're vegan you
Speaker 2: can do a vegan broth. But people have had a
Speaker 2: client on there for a year and a half and
Speaker 2: couldn't get off of it. Loved it until she moved
Speaker 2: to London. So she just like, it's just really healthy food.
Speaker 2: So it's really cleansing. Is it's not about you know,
Speaker 2: the detox and like like deprivation. It's about just feeding
Speaker 2: the body and nourishing it and giving your microbiome what
Speaker 2: it needs, the prebiotics, the probotics, you know, giving the
Speaker 2: cells what it needs. Plant based food is as you know,
Speaker 2: being what you know how you eat it, like, it
Speaker 2: really absorbs quickly into the system. Animal protein takes a
Speaker 2: long time to digest, and I do eat some animal protein,
Speaker 2: but plant based food goes through the system, absorbs really
Speaker 2: quickly and can give you energy really fast.
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to me, isn't it. Because I think a
Speaker 1: lot of us are walking around, as you said, not
Speaker 1: feeling well, not feeling good, and we start to think
Speaker 1: that's normal. And I remember feeling that way where I
Speaker 1: just thought it was normal to get a headache, or
Speaker 1: I thought it was normal to have calf pain, or
Speaker 1: I thought it was normal that my gut wasn't healthy.
Speaker 1: Like I was just like, Oh, that's normal. I'm getting
Speaker 1: older and I'm not even that old, and it's like
Speaker 1: you just keep thinking, oh, this is normal, it's okay,
Speaker 1: and you almost don't realize how good you can feel.
Speaker 1: And over the last couple of years, I've changed a
Speaker 1: lot about my diet, about my sleep, about my well
Speaker 1: being routine, and I feel better than I've ever felt,
Speaker 1: even better than five six years ago when I was younger.
Speaker 1: And you're someone that I think inspires so many of
Speaker 1: us in seeing how and I know you're working on
Speaker 1: a new book too, called Proaging Hacks and the Ability
Speaker 1: to Stay healthy for Longer. Talk to us about the
Speaker 1: moments in your life. As I was talking about in
Speaker 1: the introduction, You've gone through so much personal struggle and
Speaker 1: pain which has shifted you in this direction. So does
Speaker 1: that mean before that you didn't eat healthy and that
Speaker 1: you didn't care woke us through down Melissa Goodman that
Speaker 1: we don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. You know when I was born, I
Speaker 2: was born with this low white blood cell count so
Speaker 2: that was I'm going to be sixty four in two weeks,
Speaker 2: so after me, that's amazing. I was sixty years ago
Speaker 2: and no one knew about how to build the immune system.
Speaker 2: So like fast forward. I was sick all the time.
Speaker 2: You know, I had two parents that were really Type A,
Speaker 2: and as a teenager and a young twenty year old adult,
Speaker 2: they were running circles around me. So not only did
Speaker 2: I physically feel bad, so I was seeing a lot
Speaker 2: of sugar, caffeine, you know, just trying to keep my
Speaker 2: energy up, but also emotionally, I was a little distraught
Speaker 2: because I'm like, how are these older, you know, parents
Speaker 2: running circles around me and I can't even keep up
Speaker 2: with them. Mentally, it did a number on me, and
Speaker 2: so I kind of just like, you know, tried to
Speaker 2: keep up with everyone. And I was living the fast track.
Speaker 2: I was, you know, that's what I grew up with,
Speaker 2: making money, you know, being successful, move from Arizona to
Speaker 2: New York, you know, worked in the advertising business. Was
Speaker 2: just working around the clock, no sleep and really eating
Speaker 2: really poor alcohol entertaining all of that, and I just
Speaker 2: felt crappy all the time. And at one point when
Speaker 2: I met my husband and we got married. I said
Speaker 2: to him, We're moving west, and basically he was like
Speaker 2: New Jersey, Like, no, I go, no, We're going to California.
Speaker 2: I need sunshine. I need a slower way of life
Speaker 2: because I grew up in Arizona. And thank God for that,
Speaker 2: because when I landed in California and I got this
Speaker 2: fantastic job with Vogue Magazine, I was diagnosed with Hatchi's lymphoma.
Speaker 2: So I got all the accumulation of all my stress
Speaker 2: and not feeling well and eating really poorly was the cancer.
Speaker 2: And I was thirty two. Wow, I know, so I was.
Speaker 2: I was getting a massage. I like you were saying,
Speaker 2: I felt crappy all the time, so I didn't know what,
Speaker 2: you know, feeling good felt like. And I'm sitting there
Speaker 2: getting a massage with like sitting up right, and the
Speaker 2: messuse felt a lympho on my collar bone and she's like,
Speaker 2: that's not okay. You're not supposed to have a swollen
Speaker 2: lymph node there. And so basically next thing I knew
Speaker 2: it was cancer and I got really lucky. The messuse
Speaker 2: was fantastic to find it early. And then I found
Speaker 2: this doctor who I went to a radiologist who said,
Speaker 2: sat me down and was staged by that time, and
Speaker 2: he said, you know, are you happy? Do you love
Speaker 2: what you do for living? Do you love your life?
Speaker 2: Do you love yourself? You know? What's your stress? Like?
Speaker 2: What's your sleep? Like? That was thirty years ago. Doctors
Speaker 2: still don't say that today, which blows my mind because
Speaker 2: cancer is on the rise and all of these things.
Speaker 2: So like he he made me feel at peace, Like
Speaker 2: he goes, we got to get your emotional well being
Speaker 2: back in control and like get you to a better place,
Speaker 2: which I did. I dove into all of that, and
Speaker 2: then I dove I became a vegan, and I was
Speaker 2: really lucky. I was in California and there was missus
Speaker 2: Gooch's before Whole Food, so the food, you know, there
Speaker 2: was a grocery store that was beautiful and organic, organic meats.
Speaker 2: Everything was like healthy, farmed to a table. And then
Speaker 2: I went and juiced all the time. I juiced every
Speaker 2: single day and did all the modalities here yoga, you know,
Speaker 2: self help. Went to see a therapist and I got
Speaker 2: my shit together, thank god. And then I went on
Speaker 2: to have you know, two really healthy girls. And but
Speaker 2: after I did do some radiation. I chose not to
Speaker 2: do the chemo because of my immune system, and I
Speaker 2: knew my instincts told me that that was going to
Speaker 2: take me down. So I did half of the radiation.
Speaker 2: My oncologists fired me because he said, you're not doing
Speaker 2: what I'm supposed to, what I'm trying to tell you
Speaker 2: to do, and so I found someone to do half
Speaker 2: the radiation. And the radiation gave me hypothism, gave me hashimotos, celiac,
Speaker 2: all these other illnesses, anxiety, things that I hadn't had before, insomnia.
Speaker 2: So I basically like the radiation was awful, but I
Speaker 2: basically on to have the girls. And then eleven and
Speaker 2: a half years later, I my husband was diagnosed with cancer.
Speaker 2: So it's a crazy time. I mean, I got really
Speaker 2: healthy for that period after the cancer and for a while,
Speaker 2: and then I kind of went back into the unhealthy
Speaker 2: world a bit more. I didn't stay on that track,
Speaker 2: and so when he got cancer, you know, I realized,
Speaker 2: oh my god, two parents who have cancer, and watching
Speaker 2: him pass away in a year and a half, that's
Speaker 2: when I really took it seriously. After he passed away
Speaker 2: at forty five, I'm like, this has to be serious.
Speaker 2: And that's like basically when I realized, you know, I
Speaker 2: have to really get healthy because I didn't have any energy.
Speaker 2: I was like my stamina was low because life with
Speaker 2: him was really crazy for a year and a half
Speaker 2: in and out of the hospital. So and I watched
Speaker 2: him go from a healthy man to a very unhealthy
Speaker 2: you know, and pass away of fungal pneumonia. So the
Speaker 2: cancer didn't get him, it was his immune system. And
Speaker 2: I followed the protocols of like healthier eating and all
Speaker 2: those modalities when I was sick, but he didn't do
Speaker 2: that as much. He really was scared and that he
Speaker 2: just did what other what the doctor said. So it
Speaker 2: was like a very different story. So thank God, Like
Speaker 2: then that's when I took it a step further and
Speaker 2: I really started getting healthy. And so ever since now,
Speaker 2: you know, years later, almost eighteen years later, I feel
Speaker 2: better than I did when I was in my twenties. Wow,
Speaker 2: because of all the modalities.
Speaker 1: Thank you for sharing that, because I can't even begin
Speaker 1: to imagine what a challenging journey that is personally and
Speaker 1: then in a relationship as well. What have you found
Speaker 1: and what have you discovered as you've been studying because
Speaker 1: I think you know a lot of people will say, well, no,
Speaker 1: I need to get the radiation. I need to do
Speaker 1: what my doctors are saying. You obviously had a different
Speaker 1: confidence and an intuition around how you wanted to heal yourself.
Speaker 1: And I think ultimately it comes down to how people
Speaker 1: want to heal themselves. What have you found works at
Speaker 1: different stages? What have you seen across other patients who
Speaker 1: are struggling with cancer? Like, what have you seen? What
Speaker 1: have you witnessed and observed?
Speaker 2: It's been fascinating, Jay, because I have seen stage four
Speaker 2: heel cancer heal without using Western modalities, And it really
Speaker 2: is a mindset as you are tuned into. You know,
Speaker 2: it's distressing, it's like releasing trauma. It's really getting into
Speaker 2: your subconscious and rewiring. It is believing in yourself and
Speaker 2: having the confidence that you can heal from anything. I
Speaker 2: do believe you can heal from anything almost so I
Speaker 2: feel like we got to believe it, and most people
Speaker 2: don't believe they can. And most people don't believe that
Speaker 2: they love themselves. They don't admire who they are, they
Speaker 2: don't love themselves. Their self esteem is low. So I
Speaker 2: would say That is the biggest thing. When I ask
Speaker 2: clients all the time, you know, when they have cancer,
Speaker 2: do you love yourself? And they're like, no one's asked
Speaker 2: me that question, And I'm like, you know, that's something
Speaker 2: we really got to work on. You know, do you
Speaker 2: have peace in your life? Those are the things that
Speaker 2: totally change my life, all of those things, finding love,
Speaker 2: finding peace, you know, you know, not labeling myself as
Speaker 2: sick kid, because I had labeled myself and all the
Speaker 2: people around me as a you know, young adult. I
Speaker 2: was a sick kid because I was always getting sick.
Speaker 2: So we label ourselves, you know, when we have trauma
Speaker 2: in those early years, or we're just not in a
Speaker 2: good place, you know, growing up, we do label ourselves.
Speaker 2: And those are the things we've got to rewire. I
Speaker 2: have found that to be number one. You know, one
Speaker 2: of my favorite books, Radical Remission, Radical Hope by Kelly Turner,
Speaker 2: you know, the Heel documentary. All those things are beautiful
Speaker 2: in terms of like talking about that, and also just
Speaker 2: then I would say it comes to the food. Food
Speaker 2: is medicine, as we know, so people you know, eating nourishing,
Speaker 2: you know, vegetables, plants, you know, foods, that are grown
Speaker 2: from the earth. That's where you know, from the sunshine,
Speaker 2: like energy wise, that's a beautiful thing. I've always been
Speaker 2: a big juicer for thirty years and I've been juicing
Speaker 2: ever since. I've taken some breaks, but I almost can't
Speaker 2: live without it, and so juicee Greens has been, like,
Speaker 2: I think a lifesaver for me, you know, because I
Speaker 2: feel like that's my multi vitamin.
Speaker 1: Hey everyone, it's Jay here. My wife and I have
Speaker 1: had so much fun creating our own sparkling tea Juny,
Speaker 1: and I've got big news for you. It's at Target
Speaker 1: and we'd love your support. If you can go out
Speaker 1: grab a Juny, You'll be adding adaptogens and new tropics
Speaker 1: into your life with mood boosting properties aimed at promoting
Speaker 1: a balanced and happy mind. Through our commitment to our
Speaker 1: wellness journey and striving to fuel our bodies with the
Speaker 1: healthiest ingredients, It's been our purpose to make healthy choices
Speaker 1: accessible for all, which is why Juni is now on
Speaker 1: shelves at Target. So head to our store locator, I
Speaker 1: drink Juny dot com and find Juny at a Target
Speaker 1: near you. So let's break this down for people now,
Speaker 1: so that they can practice it. So you've been a
Speaker 1: juice it for so long, walk us through how to juice,
Speaker 1: what to juice, why to juice, and what the benefits are.
Speaker 2: I know, I know because there's a lot of like
Speaker 2: controversy about juicing. It's like all the nutrients are taken out.
Speaker 1: Of it, you know, correct, I'm hearing that a lot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the fiber and all of that. But you know,
Speaker 2: I was a purist, so I would juice and drink
Speaker 2: it right away, so I feel like, you know, I
Speaker 2: was able to, and I would do a cold press juice.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't do heat. So that's also the nutrients stay
Speaker 2: intact with the cold press, so I love that. Nowadays,
Speaker 2: I'm just throwing them in a blender because I do
Speaker 2: love the fiber so that you know, doesn't take out that. Also,
Speaker 2: the nutrients is fast and I love having all that fiber.
Speaker 2: So I think people just don't eat enough vegetables. I'm
Speaker 2: trying to get clients city cup ten eight to ten
Speaker 2: cups of vegetables a day, and that is their eyes
Speaker 2: glazed over, like how the hell do I do that?
Speaker 2: And juiceing you can get four to five easily throwing
Speaker 2: them in and I do cucumber, celery, lemon, ginger, spinach,
Speaker 2: super easy things and sometimes not so expensive. You know,
Speaker 2: people think it's like very arduous and got to have
Speaker 2: all those vegetables, and you know it could be easy.
Speaker 2: Celery is huge in terms of the minerals. Cucumbers, super hydrating,
Speaker 2: cleansing for the kidneys. Celery cleanses your gut, cleanses your liver.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, spinach is full of iron, so
Speaker 2: ginger is you know, antibacterial lemon. I mean, they're just
Speaker 2: beautiful things. And I think it just wakes me up
Speaker 2: every day and like gives me and also how skin
Speaker 2: and digestion and all that. So I think it's a
Speaker 2: beautiful way to start the day.
Speaker 1: And you're having that fascon in the morning, that's that's
Speaker 1: what you have on an empty summit, right, and you've
Speaker 1: just done that for yours. Yeah, yeah, I found that too.
Speaker 1: I remember when celary juice became, you know, had its
Speaker 1: way a few years ago now, I feel, and I
Speaker 1: remember trying it out, and I've still not found something
Speaker 1: better than celary juice.
Speaker 2: So you just too straight celery juice.
Speaker 1: Generally, well, I'll probably do like celery with a bit
Speaker 1: of apple in it, just to give it a bitter sweetness, right,
Speaker 1: just to make it easy to do, yes, exactly, for
Speaker 1: me to enjoy it. Usually I would just stick to
Speaker 1: celery in the beginning, but then I was like, Okay,
Speaker 1: I need to enjoy this a little bit, and so
Speaker 1: a little bit of apple in it would be perfect,
Speaker 1: but just enough, just enough, not too much. And to me,
Speaker 1: that's been one of my favorite things that has helped
Speaker 1: my gut heel so much, and I find it to
Speaker 1: be such a powerful practice.
Speaker 2: So I read who brought the celery juice? Crazon was
Speaker 2: the medical medium, right, We've had him on the show
Speaker 2: yes and years ago. I was working with him as well,
Speaker 2: and he was the one who really did help me
Speaker 2: get past my autommune issues. So I started the celery
Speaker 2: juice like four or five years ago when it all
Speaker 2: just started, and you know, I was wondering, like, why
Speaker 2: is this celery juice so powerful? And I started clients
Speaker 2: on it as well, and I realized there was a
Speaker 2: like like a little bit of a trick to it
Speaker 2: in terms of it's super hydrating. And I find that
Speaker 2: hydration is like really an epidemic right now. Dehydration is crazy.
Speaker 2: And celery has is full of minerals, you know, and
Speaker 2: also like is great with probiotics and things like that,
Speaker 2: but the mineral content a celery is huge. So people
Speaker 2: are drinking a celary juice wondering like how am I
Speaker 2: feeling so good? But it's hydrating them. So people just
Speaker 2: don't get up in the morning. And I always say
Speaker 2: it kind of blows my mind. I say people, I
Speaker 2: have to have a mandatory of two cups of water,
Speaker 2: just sixteen ounces of water before their coffee or their
Speaker 2: tea or anything cafe caffeinated. And they're like, well, that's easy,
Speaker 2: but I don't do it. And then they call me
Speaker 2: back and go, well, that was life changing, just two
Speaker 2: cuffs of water. I'm like, you paid me to tell
Speaker 2: you to drink two cups of water. That's crazy. But
Speaker 2: the celery juice is the same thing. It's super hydrating.
Speaker 2: When you're dehydrated, nothing works right. You know, your adrenals
Speaker 2: aren't working, your cortosol and your adrenaline are rising. You
Speaker 2: know you're not going the bathroom regularly, your brain can't work.
Speaker 2: You think you're hungry, Like it really is like an
Speaker 2: epidemic and we have all this beautiful water at our fingertips,
Speaker 2: but we just don't have minerals.
Speaker 1: You know what, I've not actually thought about that. I
Speaker 1: don't think we've ever heard anyone say that so clearly,
Speaker 1: because again, like you said, it sounds so obvious, right,
Speaker 1: but most of us are not drinking close to enough water.
Speaker 1: And like you're saying, the minerals that actually come from
Speaker 1: the earth grown vegetables that naturally are filled with the
Speaker 1: impact with it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the plants and like dooms and complex carbs too.
Speaker 2: People are kind of anti cars when they want to
Speaker 2: lose weight, but they're full of minerals, so when they
Speaker 2: also calm the central nervous system down.
Speaker 1: What are some examples of those?
Speaker 2: Those are legomes and beans, you know, and also like
Speaker 2: i'd say, some really good rice's quene wah, sweet potatoes, squash,
Speaker 2: all of those things, you know, wild rice, black rice.
Speaker 2: I mean, those are beautiful complex carbs also great for
Speaker 2: the guid as well.
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, yeah, what have you seen about because
Speaker 1: what we're really talking about here, like you said, the
Speaker 1: client that calls you up after doing it, and so
Speaker 1: I can't believe it worked. And I can't believe I
Speaker 1: paid you for that, et cetera, that that idea, it
Speaker 1: seems like and even for you, like you know, you
Speaker 1: went through this terrible experience yourself. You know, the radiation
Speaker 1: caused more challenges. You know, you go through the tragic
Speaker 1: loss of a partner like who's you know also suffering
Speaker 1: from this, and and you say that's what woke you up.
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of us, it's it's hard
Speaker 1: to think that a lot of us. And I guess
Speaker 1: that's why you do what you do, is you don't
Speaker 1: want people to wait for personal loss in order to
Speaker 1: get serious about their health and wellbeing. But if I
Speaker 1: find that as humans, we're so bad at changing our
Speaker 1: habits and we're so quick to forget even pain. And
Speaker 1: I remember this like not in not in an close
Speaker 1: to the extremes that you have had, but I've had
Speaker 1: different reminders in my health when my body's slowed down
Speaker 1: or fallen apart, or I've needed a surgery or whatever
Speaker 1: it may be. And it's so quick, like you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of months later, you're eating all the stuff
Speaker 1: again and you're just happy that you're back to being normal,
Speaker 1: and you just let yourself go again, and then again
Speaker 1: you get another wake up call. And for me, I
Speaker 1: think what really got me serious was last year I
Speaker 1: said them with my doctor I've had on the show,
Speaker 1: Darshan Shah, and when we looked all my bloods and everything,
Speaker 1: he said to me, Jay, this is not your fault
Speaker 1: because your diet seems to be good, but because of
Speaker 1: your genetic makeup, your predisposed diabetes and cholesterol, and so
Speaker 1: even though you don't eat fried food and oily food
Speaker 1: and you don't eat that much sugar comparatively, you're just
Speaker 1: more predisposed to it. And when I heard that, I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, got it, Like I need to
Speaker 1: now be serious about my health. And I feel like
Speaker 1: that was towards the end of last year where I
Speaker 1: just really got dialed in. But it's almost like a
Speaker 1: lot of us wait for pain in order to get proactive.
Speaker 1: And I guess the reason you do what you do
Speaker 1: is to not let people wait for pain, because that's
Speaker 1: just so painful and challenging. Yeah, what have you learned
Speaker 1: about habit change when you're working with your clients. What
Speaker 1: is it that really helps people change? What are some
Speaker 1: of the hacks, What are some of the habits that
Speaker 1: have transformed people's lives.
Speaker 2: That's so good, I know, because I think since COVID
Speaker 2: people are now starting to take their hells more serious.
Speaker 2: Thank God for that. And also you're right, like the
Speaker 2: diabetes is on the rise, Like blood sugar issues are
Speaker 2: crazy out of control. So like when I work with
Speaker 2: my clients, I would say, like you what you were
Speaker 2: saying earlier, you know, with next health and all of
Speaker 2: that is like I'm now doing blood work with my
Speaker 2: every client I do blood work on. I'm doing really
Speaker 2: thorough blood work. I'm even doing heavy metals, all the
Speaker 2: metabolic you know, thyroid, all the hormones, even if they're young,
Speaker 2: and I'm seeing such fascinating things. Everybody's blood sugar is
Speaker 2: too high. It's not pre diabetic yet, but it's very close.
Speaker 2: They're thyroids out of whack. Their insulin levels are too high,
Speaker 2: their quartersol is too high. You know, it's wild. They
Speaker 2: got heavy metals, so they're heading towards health issues. And
Speaker 2: I feel like that has been the coolest thing lately
Speaker 2: for me to be in the last year doing that
Speaker 2: because I'm catching these things before they get unhealthy. I
Speaker 2: know they don't feel good and they're lethargic, and they're
Speaker 2: not sleeping well, and they have hormone issues, but there's
Speaker 2: something behind it if they are eating healthy, you know,
Speaker 2: like there is something physical, like you found and that
Speaker 2: has been game changing. Like to be able to you know,
Speaker 2: get their bl sugar under control, to get their thyroid
Speaker 2: working again, to also get their hormones working better before
Speaker 2: they even go into menopause has been huge. So I
Speaker 2: feel like those you know, those things have been life changing.
Speaker 2: The blood work stuff and do it at once a
Speaker 2: year amazing and great for the clients, Like it's not
Speaker 2: expensive to do with me. Also then it it's about,
Speaker 2: you know, really one thing at a time. So like
Speaker 2: we talked about like maybe getting them hydrated the first week.
Speaker 2: Secondly you know, maybe getting them eating more plant based foods.
Speaker 2: Of course, the sleep is crucial, like people aren't sleeping enough,
Speaker 2: and also getting them sleeping better and helping them to
Speaker 2: sleep better. You know, there's a lot of modalities you know,
Speaker 2: in terms of getting healthy. But I don't want to
Speaker 2: overwhelm them, so I tried desperately not to overwhelm them,
Speaker 2: you know, with giving them too much off the bat.
Speaker 2: I mean, I am a supplement junkie. I've been like
Speaker 2: dabbling with supplements since I had cancer. Now it's a
Speaker 2: billion dollar business and there's too many out there, and
Speaker 2: there's a lot of crappy supplements out there. So I
Speaker 2: do feel really lucky that I've dabbled it in a
Speaker 2: long time, so I know what's good and what isn't.
Speaker 2: And I had to also deal with it myself. So
Speaker 2: I take a lot of supplements and I figure out
Speaker 2: what works for me and what doesn't, and I muscle
Speaker 2: testing them on myself and all of that, and I
Speaker 2: try to teach my clients to muscle test the some
Speaker 2: moments on them. What's a muscle Okay, so this is fascinating.
Speaker 2: You have never heard of this. I feel like I
Speaker 2: thought it next health they do that. Maybe not, but
Speaker 2: you actually stick a supplement like on your gut, or
Speaker 2: you can hold it and actually it's kind of like
Speaker 2: Eastern medicine. You know, either you hold your hand out
Speaker 2: and somebody pushes your hand down if you're with somebody, Okay,
Speaker 2: that's muscle testing. How you do it on yourself is
Speaker 2: you put it on your gut and you stand like
Speaker 2: kind of like try to balance yourself and stand upright,
Speaker 2: and then you say, hey, is this be complex right
Speaker 2: for me? And then your body moves forward if yes,
Speaker 2: and back if no, and then you say should I
Speaker 2: take one? Should I take two? And your body tells
Speaker 2: you everything. It's so in tune.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: We were born with these incredible instincts, and we lose
Speaker 2: touch with them, right like we lose touch like along
Speaker 2: the way with all the things that have gone on
Speaker 2: in our life. And it's the same thing with food,
Speaker 2: with supplements, with what we need to do to heal
Speaker 2: ourselves and where we want to be in our lives
Speaker 2: is all instinctual. So the instincts are huge, So I
Speaker 2: try to teach them that as well.
Speaker 1: It's so interesting, isn't it, Because I feel like we've
Speaker 1: become so distrusting of our bodies. Yeah, because we've been
Speaker 1: told to trust someone or something else. And of course
Speaker 1: we do need guides, we need experts, we need doctors,
Speaker 1: you know. And I'm not discouraging anyone from any of
Speaker 1: those things. I'm just saying that I think claiming back
Speaker 1: some of that in the same way as when you
Speaker 1: eat something, you know whether your body is accepting or
Speaker 1: rejecting it based on how it's feeling. And of course,
Speaker 1: if your digestion is strong, then it gives you the
Speaker 1: best sense. Sometimes if your digestion is weak, it may
Speaker 1: not give you the best marker. But when you're talking
Speaker 1: about vitamins and supplements, walk us through in a practical sense,
Speaker 1: how does someone make a choice? What do they need
Speaker 1: to read on the back of a box or a
Speaker 1: bottle with vitamins and supplements, Like what should they be
Speaker 1: looking for and what should they be looking at? Make
Speaker 1: sense of it from a technical standpoint, not just the
Speaker 1: intuition standpoint.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question, because you want to have
Speaker 2: as least fillers and additives in that supplement as possible.
Speaker 2: And so filler is like something that just fills up
Speaker 2: the supplement, you know, it's like a you know, crystalline
Speaker 2: cellulose is a is a filler. Not all the supplement
Speaker 2: is going to be the B complex. But they need
Speaker 2: other things, you know, to bind the bees, you know,
Speaker 2: for the for you to be able to digest them.
Speaker 2: So a lot of times, you know, or like it's
Speaker 2: expensive to have the supplement be all you know, liposolmals
Speaker 2: C or B or whatever, vitamin D. So a lot
Speaker 2: of times they add that the additives so that it
Speaker 2: isn't as costly. So it really is a struggle because
Speaker 2: a lot of people don't do well with these additives
Speaker 2: and they don't know that. So micro crystalline cellulus is
Speaker 2: one that's in a lot of supplements and it gives
Speaker 2: you digestive issues if you're taking too many. So you
Speaker 2: could see a lot of people supplements and they can
Speaker 2: all have microcrystalline cellulose. I mean it's wild so it
Speaker 2: or soy lesse than you know, or just these added
Speaker 2: just like in foods. You know, it kind of maintains
Speaker 2: the shelf life of the supplement as well. So it's
Speaker 2: hard to find supplements without that because they're costly and
Speaker 2: a lot of people can't afford that. So that's why,
Speaker 2: you know, I try to go more like with the
Speaker 2: food and that you know, lead with the food and
Speaker 2: then supplements come second. But there are some settlements out
Speaker 2: there that we absolutely do need. You know, Vitamin D
Speaker 2: is one of them. I mean since COVID, the studies
Speaker 2: that have been done on vitamin D and especially liposomal
Speaker 2: D because liposomal is a fossil lipid outside of a
Speaker 2: you know, supplement and basically is better to absorb easier
Speaker 2: to absorb like lipelsomal C and lepelsomal glutathia on all
Speaker 2: those things. And so basically, you know D. When you
Speaker 2: raise your D levels, you can lower your cholesterol. Actually,
Speaker 2: you raise your D levels, it's better for immune system,
Speaker 2: it's better for cognitive function. People don't realize that there's
Speaker 2: a vitamin D cell receptor in every cell in your body.
Speaker 2: So you know, there's that, it's omega threes, it's you know,
Speaker 2: it's magnesium, and like there's certain things out there be
Speaker 2: complex for stress.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. One thing I definitely didn't realize until
Speaker 1: I really got on a good regime of supplements and
Speaker 1: vitamins was just how much harder I was working to
Speaker 1: feel good like it was. I just thought it was
Speaker 1: a mental battle, and so I was fighting the mental
Speaker 1: battle every day with meditation and mindfulness and everything else.
Speaker 1: And then I realized I was like, actually, I would
Speaker 1: have been a much better meditator if I just took
Speaker 1: supplements of vitamins early on, because then your body's actually
Speaker 1: helping you with that focus and with the physical activity
Speaker 1: or movement and exercise, right whether it's hiking or sport
Speaker 1: or whatever it may be. And it's so funny now
Speaker 1: that you're naming all these things, I'm like, I've seen
Speaker 1: all these things on the backs and never known what
Speaker 1: that means. And it's so easy to just feel so uneducated.
Speaker 1: And I've definitely felt that way in this space. You know,
Speaker 1: without having good people around you, it's so hard to
Speaker 1: really know whether what you're doing is good for you
Speaker 1: or not. Walk us through like if we took a
Speaker 1: random stack of snacks right now, and I don't want
Speaker 1: to pick on any brands or anything like that in
Speaker 1: any way, but if you were to teach someone how
Speaker 1: to read the back of a snack pack, what should
Speaker 1: they be looking out for? Because this is something that
Speaker 1: I believe has changed the way I snack, and I generally,
Speaker 1: i'd say my diet is like maybe I don't know
Speaker 1: at this point, like five percent processed or packaged foods
Speaker 1: in any if that, probably when I'm traveling, I'll have
Speaker 1: like a protein bar that I travel with or something
Speaker 1: like that. But generally it's it's not I'm on the
Speaker 1: whole food's diet and everything else. But it wasn't that
Speaker 1: way before. I used to think that if I ate
Speaker 1: healthy snacks then that was okay. So I would eat
Speaker 1: package goods and the fifty percent of my diet was
Speaker 1: package goods, or maybe thirty percent. Walk us through what
Speaker 1: we should be looking out for, because I think so
Speaker 1: much is hidden on these.
Speaker 2: Well, it's the same thing as the supplements. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a laundry list of things on the back of
Speaker 2: the snack, you know, box or bag or whatever that
Speaker 2: you don't even recognize, right, Like it's just I mean,
Speaker 2: they're like, you know, certain dies that are bad for us,
Speaker 2: and like going back to the soy lesson than like
Speaker 2: soy lesson is really bad for us everywhere.
Speaker 1: It's so funny, I've pronounced that one for them my
Speaker 1: whole life now that you've told me.
Speaker 2: I mean, I love soy whole soy products, but you know,
Speaker 2: when it's processed down to that, it's bad. It's like
Speaker 2: the bad seed oils that's omega sixes and nines and
Speaker 2: like really causing inflammation. So again, if it's a laundry
Speaker 2: list of things that you don't recognize, like that kind
Speaker 2: of is a no go. I mean, you know, we'll
Speaker 2: let's talk about some of the things we know like
Speaker 2: plant milks, you know, they're they've been huge for years.
Speaker 2: Right now, there's think there's better healthier plant milks out there.
Speaker 2: They're just almonds and sea salt and water, like those
Speaker 2: are the things to look for, something that's just simple.
Speaker 2: Even the cheeses, you know, I do love some of
Speaker 2: the plant based foods and cheeses and some of the
Speaker 2: fake meats, but again they could have a lot of
Speaker 2: bad stuff in them. So it's like, you know, I
Speaker 2: sometimes you just got to go for the less is more.
Speaker 2: Even the protein bars too, you know, every so often
Speaker 2: it's not bad to have some of these things that
Speaker 2: do have these you know, all these things in them,
Speaker 2: because you're not going to be perfect. But I would
Speaker 2: say seventy five percent time, eighty percent of the time
Speaker 2: to try to look for, you know, those things on
Speaker 2: the back and just try to do things with less
Speaker 2: additives because your system doesn't know how to process, it
Speaker 2: doesn't know how to digest it. And the more you
Speaker 2: add these additives into your body, I think more toxic
Speaker 2: you become. And also the digestive system, like the digestive
Speaker 2: issues are crazy out of control. Like I created a
Speaker 2: digestive cleans because it's been like everybody has digestives. Everybody
Speaker 2: calls me like my every time I eat, I get bloated.
Speaker 2: You know, I can't eat anything now, or I can't
Speaker 2: go to the bathroom, like the constipation for days on end,
Speaker 2: like it's really crazy, or the other side of it,
Speaker 2: where they're going in the bathroom too much. That's an epidemic,
Speaker 2: like the hydration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're saying when you're looking at if you're outside,
Speaker 1: you're looking for snacks and products, it's like less ingredients, yep,
Speaker 1: simple ingredients and real ingredients, basically things that you actually
Speaker 1: know what they are. If you don't know what they are, right,
Speaker 1: that's probably a sign that And the problem is it
Speaker 1: doesn't taste as good though, no it doesn't.
Speaker 3: Know.
Speaker 1: I had a protein by the other day because I
Speaker 1: was an expo and I had a protein by and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh great, like this literally had three
Speaker 1: ingredients on it. I was so excited to eat it,
Speaker 1: and I tried it and it was so bad compared
Speaker 1: to the one that I've been programmed to love, which
Speaker 1: has all the other thirty things that you'd say I
Speaker 1: shouldn't eat and are not good for me. And it's
Speaker 1: so frustrating because I'm like I wish I was trained
Speaker 1: to believe that whole natural foods were tasty and healthy.
Speaker 1: Whereas because I've been so spoiled by my taste buds
Speaker 1: have been ruined by all of this other stuff that
Speaker 1: now feels captivating and exciting and tasty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, most of America has, you know, right, I mean
Speaker 2: the sugar in these things. Like you know, there's a
Speaker 2: lot of sugar in these bars and in these milks
Speaker 2: and cheeses or whatever it is. Because things don't taste
Speaker 2: so great when they are on that simple side. You know,
Speaker 2: there's a lot of salt, there's a lot of sodium,
Speaker 2: so to make them taste better.
Speaker 1: Walk us through. So walk us through the core needs
Speaker 1: that people come to you so that you said they
Speaker 1: do it. There's a gut cleanse. Walk us through the
Speaker 1: different cleanses that cleansed in their life.
Speaker 2: So the regular cleans is really I'll tell you a
Speaker 2: little bit about what's on it. There's a detox tonic
Speaker 2: on it with coconut cafir, which is a probiotic drink.
Speaker 2: I am a big fan of probotics, and I love
Speaker 2: coconut kaffirs. Cocoa and there's a lot of great products
Speaker 2: out there on the market. Then it has chlorophyll, apple,
Speaker 2: side of anegar lemon, ginger and there, and then there's
Speaker 2: my homemade super seed bar. Then you basically get a
Speaker 2: bone broth or a vegan broth. Our bone broth is
Speaker 2: really gelatinous and so there's a lot of collagen, which
Speaker 2: I love. And then we get you get different salads
Speaker 2: for the week, different salad dressings, fermented vegetables. You get
Speaker 2: different soups for the for the nighttime, and then you
Speaker 2: get lattes for the evening. Then you also get digestive
Speaker 2: enzymes and you get magnesium, so to make sure that
Speaker 2: everything's working properly, because people going from an animal protein
Speaker 2: diet into a plant based legoos and beans can disrupt
Speaker 2: their stomach and also a lot of vegetables can as well.
Speaker 2: So there's that one. There's a three day so with that.
Speaker 1: One, wous So are you encouraging people to not have
Speaker 1: dinners in that is that this.
Speaker 2: Soup is dinner, yes, or they have super lunch and
Speaker 2: do the salad for dinner, So it's not super strict.
Speaker 2: A lot of people who exercise a ton will add
Speaker 2: a little bit of animal protein you know, to the
Speaker 2: meal potentially, and it doesn't take you away from the cleans.
Speaker 2: So again you're just getting tons of vegetables. You're getting
Speaker 2: anti inflammatory, you know, nourishing, nurturing foods, So that you
Speaker 2: know that one is like my regular one that has
Speaker 2: been going on for nine years. Sometimes it blows my
Speaker 2: mind because the Tonic's been on there for nine years.
Speaker 2: The bar has been on there, like it's crazy that
Speaker 2: things are still popular. People buy the tonics and the
Speaker 2: bars separately. And then the gut cleanse has activated charcoal
Speaker 2: on there. So what activated arcole? So I love activated
Speaker 2: tarcole because it lowers bacterial loads in your gut.
Speaker 1: Wait, how do you eat activated chocolate? You take a pill, right.
Speaker 2: You can. You can put it in a drink and
Speaker 2: you know, you get to put it in the detox
Speaker 2: onic or in water or whatever. But you take it's
Speaker 2: a pill. It's it's a very strong pill. And I
Speaker 2: have found when I had insulin resistant clients who couldn't
Speaker 2: lose weight, you know, weight resistant clients, their insulin was high,
Speaker 2: their gut bacteria was too high. So I would put
Speaker 2: them on five days of activated turcole and lower their
Speaker 2: insulin levels, which was like fantastic. So that's how the
Speaker 2: gut cleans came about. So they get activated charcoal, they
Speaker 2: still get the enzymes, they get the magnesium, but they
Speaker 2: get chia pudding, they get sour kraut, they still get
Speaker 2: the detox tonic. They don't get the bar because a
Speaker 2: little too much sugar. I don't want sugar for them
Speaker 2: because the bacteria. And then they get everything else that's
Speaker 2: pretty similar. And the nighttime is a tuls t you
Speaker 2: know that Holy basil is one of my favorites. It's
Speaker 2: anti inflammatory and great for the gut, great for sleep.
Speaker 2: So that's my that's the other cleans that I love.
Speaker 2: And so what I'm trying to do for people is
Speaker 2: really clean them out. Those clients are the ones that
Speaker 2: have a little bit of constipation issues, like aren't going
Speaker 2: to the bathroom regularly, and they're by the end of
Speaker 2: the week they're going two and three times a day. Wow,
Speaker 2: Like that's another crazy thing because people go, yeah, once
Speaker 2: a day. They that's considered constipated these days. It's crazy.
Speaker 1: So we'll us through that because that's always like an
Speaker 1: uncomfortable topic for you know, it's something that people don't
Speaker 1: talk about. But I mean, I don't think we've even
Speaker 1: we're getting to the point of understanding how important that
Speaker 1: the digestive system is and how often should be people
Speaker 1: going to the restroom, what what should be the healthy
Speaker 1: way of going about the area of their life.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, once a day is good, twice is great,
Speaker 2: three is perfect. So we really because we don't get
Speaker 2: enough fiber, because we don't get enough hydration, because we're stressed.
Speaker 2: Because when we're stressed, our digestive system completely shuts down.
Speaker 2: We are not being able to digest our food. So
Speaker 2: and also we're eating a lot of animal protein. So
Speaker 2: it takes you know, fourteen hours to get through the
Speaker 2: small intestine cow and animal protein, and ninety minutes for
Speaker 2: plant based food, which is crazy. So we're just so
Speaker 2: for plant based food it takes ninety minutes to get
Speaker 2: through the small intestine. For cow and animal protein, it
Speaker 2: takes fourteen hours. So we're you know, we're eating eggs
Speaker 2: for breakfast and chicken for lunch and salmon for dinner. Like,
Speaker 2: so we're just like, not that it's bad for you,
Speaker 2: but we're just we're not getting hydration, we're not getting fiber.
Speaker 2: You know, we're we're not doing the other things. We're
Speaker 2: not sleeping. Sleeping is very detoxifying and helping us with
Speaker 2: our digestive system. So yeah, so we're supposed to be
Speaker 2: kind of like an animal and going after every meal
Speaker 2: and people are a little bit like, oh, please don't
Speaker 2: tell me bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I know. It's it's interesting how interconnected it
Speaker 1: all is though, Like you talked about hydration earlier, we're
Speaker 1: talking about the gut now. Like it's it's fascinating because
Speaker 1: it's almost like even for me. I was talking to
Speaker 1: a friend about it this morning and we were just
Speaker 1: talking about like we're like, okay, we want to get proteins,
Speaker 1: but then if I'm eating this because as a plant
Speaker 1: based person, to get proteins hard, it's also that way around, right,
Speaker 1: So you're trying to get a protein in your diet,
Speaker 1: but then it's like, well, maybe that particular item doesn't
Speaker 1: sit well with my gut and doesn't make me feel good,
Speaker 1: and so you're also finding that as well. Right, Like
Speaker 1: it's it's not as simple as like, well this is
Speaker 1: really great for everyone, right, It's so individual.
Speaker 2: It's not a one size fits all, right, and I
Speaker 2: do believe in you know, if you're vegan, I can
Speaker 2: help someone get enough protein or vegetarian or you know,
Speaker 2: animal protein. For me, I grew up eating animal protein,
Speaker 2: so I you know, I feel like I need that,
Speaker 2: and I feel like as i've aged, I feel like
Speaker 2: I need more amino acids. But sometimes it certain animal
Speaker 2: proteins don't agree with me. So I do take digestive
Speaker 2: enzymes before I eat animal protein so I can digest it.
Speaker 1: So I mean, well, do you take your digestice.
Speaker 2: I love this enz of Metica digest gold at pro
Speaker 2: is one of my favorites. It's on the cleanse, but
Speaker 2: you can also get it from apple side vinegar. You
Speaker 2: but also get it from bitter greens like daniline, greens
Speaker 2: of arugula, en dive ridiculo. So sometimes I'll just take
Speaker 2: a handful of arugula before I eat a meal. It's
Speaker 2: really crazy, and I'll wake up your enzymes really yeah,
Speaker 2: I know. Or after a meal, if you kind of
Speaker 2: have a digestive issue, you could take some arugula and
Speaker 2: eat it. I know it sounds very strange, but or
Speaker 2: have some apple cider vinegar, or take an enzyme after
Speaker 2: the meal. It doesn't have to be before the meal.
Speaker 2: So know a lot of tricks that people sometimes don't
Speaker 2: know because digestion can be an issue. And I also
Speaker 2: don't overdo the animal protein, Like I'm not having like
Speaker 2: eight to ten to twelve ounces of something, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm having like three to four ounces, so that's like,
Speaker 2: you know, thirty forty grams of protein. So I feel
Speaker 2: like nowadays protein is the hot topic. Like you know,
Speaker 2: some people feel like you need to get a gram
Speaker 2: per body weight, but I'm really someone who feels like,
Speaker 2: you know, seventy seventy five grams for women is great.
Speaker 2: So that's kind of easy to do.
Speaker 1: And of course it impacts based on your workout.
Speaker 2: Exactly and everything else. Yeah, yeah, and hoping that you
Speaker 2: do digest you know, what you're eating, that's important.
Speaker 1: I've found that adding in the beginning, adding protein to
Speaker 1: my diet felt heavy on my digestion, but actually it's
Speaker 1: now led to better digestion. But it took. It took
Speaker 1: this like transition point where I was like, God, that's
Speaker 1: really heavy, Like it's harder to digest in the beginning, Yeah,
Speaker 1: even though it should be helping me. But then I
Speaker 1: feel like it's it's just staying committed to it. My
Speaker 1: digestion's got used to it. Is that natural? Do you
Speaker 1: find that that's.
Speaker 2: The same with legooms and beans because people will go
Speaker 2: on the cleans and be like, I can't eat likeagoms
Speaker 2: and beans. They're not used to that because they're animal
Speaker 2: protein eaters, and most of us have been animal protein eaters.
Speaker 2: I feel like most people I talk to they just don't.
Speaker 2: They feel like big beans and legooms are gassy and
Speaker 2: are hard to digest, but the more you eat them,
Speaker 2: the easier they are in the system. Yeah, your digestive
Speaker 2: system gets you know, used to it, right. It has
Speaker 2: kind of wild.
Speaker 1: What are some of the biggest mistakes you see people
Speaker 1: making when it comes to the health and wellbeing that
Speaker 1: you've kind of noticed as trends over the years that
Speaker 1: these seem to just be the things that trip people up.
Speaker 2: That's such a great question because there's so many. But
Speaker 2: I would say, you know a lot of people are
Speaker 2: over supplementing interesting. Yeah, they are, like on social media
Speaker 2: TikTok or Instagram, and they're seeing all these influencers who
Speaker 2: are great at what they do, but they're promoting all
Speaker 2: these different products and they have no idea if that
Speaker 2: product is right for them, so they're buying it. So
Speaker 2: all all like see cupboards and like suitcases of people
Speaker 2: who have all these supplements and they're taking them and
Speaker 2: they don't feel good. They're not really making them feel better.
Speaker 2: So but the the person who's promoting is that this
Speaker 2: is gonna have this is going to change your life, right,
Speaker 2: So that's huge. Also, like what's also hard is basically
Speaker 2: like following the prototo like gluten free, you know or
Speaker 2: not everybody needs to be gluten free or like dairy
Speaker 2: free or all of those things, so you know, or
Speaker 2: they're not gluten free. The other side of it, you know,
Speaker 2: they're just not like eating, like they're not taking gluten.
Speaker 2: Now the diet because it's inflammatory or dairy or sugar.
Speaker 2: Sugar is a huge one. So people really feel that sugar.
Speaker 2: You know, they can have a little sugar, some people can't.
Speaker 2: So I think food wise, it's like there's so many
Speaker 2: misconceptions of what they should or shouldn't be doing and
Speaker 2: they should be gluten free or not or dairy free
Speaker 2: or maybe like you know, should they be could they
Speaker 2: have some sugar or not? Just it depends on like
Speaker 2: what their blood sugar is, what their gut is happening.
Speaker 2: I'm seeing a lot of that the supplements. I also
Speaker 2: see that people are overexercising too, like they're like doing
Speaker 2: Berry's boot Camp and spin Claus and their corsal and
Speaker 2: adrenaline is so high and they're so stressed and their
Speaker 2: adrenals are fatigued, and it's just making them more tired.
Speaker 1: That's why you have to be observing the three sixty.
Speaker 1: And that's what's so hard about it, because you could
Speaker 1: look great right and then still feel terrible and be
Speaker 1: super stressed out because it's kind of like, I mean,
Speaker 1: we were having this conversation offline, which you know, last
Speaker 1: night I played pickaball for two hours. It was super physical.
Speaker 1: I think everyone's uh, you know, everyone's fitness tracks said
Speaker 1: that we burnt like one hundred calories last night playing
Speaker 1: for two hours. But I came back and my body
Speaker 1: temperature was really high, and so when I got into bed,
Speaker 1: and as I was telling you, my AC unit wasn't working,
Speaker 1: so I couldn't lower the temperature in the bedroom and
Speaker 1: my house gets quite hot, so I had a high
Speaker 1: body temperature and the temperature of the room was probably
Speaker 1: like seventy eight, which is super high. And so then
Speaker 1: now it was so hard for me to sleep. And
Speaker 1: I remember, while I struggling to sleep, I just started
Speaker 1: researching body temperature and why it was hard to sleep
Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. And that's all I
Speaker 1: was saying. And I was thinking, this is so interesting
Speaker 1: because I could be thinking, oh, it's because I'm stressed
Speaker 1: about something or I've got loads on and it's like, well, no,
Speaker 1: it's just body temperature and the temperature of my room.
Speaker 1: And it's challenging because I think that, you know, food
Speaker 1: is such a source of joy, It's such a source
Speaker 1: of excitement for so many people, and yet now when
Speaker 1: you start really getting into it can become such a
Speaker 1: source of stress and such a source of pressure. Like
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm meaning too much of this, I'm
Speaker 1: meaning too little this, Like oh no, I didn't meal
Speaker 1: prep this week, and oh no, now like I didn't
Speaker 1: get it. Oh I forgot to take my vitamins. Like
Speaker 1: I think we're so stressed about being healthy. How have
Speaker 1: you made sense of that? Because I can find when
Speaker 1: i'm you know, when I'm having this conversation, there's a
Speaker 1: part of me. I've been through the ups and downs
Speaker 1: of that where I've been like God, I hate dealing
Speaker 1: with my health right because it's so stressful. And now
Speaker 1: I'm in a better place with it. But that's taken
Speaker 1: a long, long, long, long, long time to even recognize
Speaker 1: that healing journey of realizing I'm doing this because I
Speaker 1: love myself. I'm doing this because I believe in myself.
Speaker 1: I'm doing this because I love my body, I love
Speaker 1: my heart, I love myself, which is why I get
Speaker 1: to do this. But that has taken a long time,
Speaker 1: even for me. So walk us through how people can
Speaker 1: balance that stress to be healthy when it should be
Speaker 1: making us less stressed.
Speaker 2: I know, that's another good one. It's just like this
Speaker 2: over supplementing and like you know, you walk into Airwan
Speaker 2: and you like talk about stress. There's all this you know,
Speaker 2: healthy beautiful food, and you don't know what to choose, right,
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my god, Like there's so much out there.
Speaker 2: It's just overwhelm and I feel like, you know, you've
Speaker 2: just got to get back in tune with yourself and
Speaker 2: you've got you know, you can't overdo anything. I think
Speaker 2: you've got to go back to the basics. You know,
Speaker 2: you just got to go back to eating real food.
Speaker 2: Try to do that. You've got to know if the
Speaker 2: supplements are disturbing, you just do less. Just do the
Speaker 2: basics of what you need. You know, a multi vitamin,
Speaker 2: vitamin D, magnesium, just simple things. You've got to hydrate,
Speaker 2: you know, you got to sleep. Like just like you
Speaker 2: can't like get all worked up over these things because
Speaker 2: you're right, you're not going to do them. You're just
Speaker 2: like not going to do them. Like I find people
Speaker 2: just being like this is way too much. You want
Speaker 2: it to be simple. You want them to feel better,
Speaker 2: you want them to see results, So less is more.
Speaker 2: And I feel like, you know, we have become a
Speaker 2: society where we're doing way too much and we just
Speaker 2: we got to pull back. We got to just we
Speaker 2: got to believe in ourselves. I think, you know, with
Speaker 2: the meditation, Like I'm a huge meditator, and that's so
Speaker 2: helpful for me because I'm a type a personality and
Speaker 2: I'm always like go, go go, and I got to
Speaker 2: get shit done. But when I pull back and I
Speaker 2: meditate and I do yoga and I chill out, like
Speaker 2: then everybody, my mind tells me what I need, you know,
Speaker 2: because I could do that too. I can oversupplement. I can,
Speaker 2: you know, be really like uptight about why I went
Speaker 2: to this restaurant and they didn't have gluten free pizza
Speaker 2: or you know, or wild damon. I remember ordering that
Speaker 2: stuff and my whole family be like, oh my god,
Speaker 2: we can't eat with you because you're such a pain
Speaker 2: in the ass. But now I'm just like, Okay, who cares,
Speaker 2: you know, but I do. You do have to kind
Speaker 2: of like get back in touch with and reconnect your
Speaker 2: mind with your body and be like, Okay, what works
Speaker 2: for me? You know, I can't like you can't. You
Speaker 2: can't go crazy about this stuff.
Speaker 1: How have you allowed yourself to fall in love with
Speaker 1: yourself and your body and your heart and your mind
Speaker 1: again and again and again. When the body gets older,
Speaker 1: it changes, it transitions, it shifts, like what what have
Speaker 1: what has been like your what has been your your
Speaker 1: inner practice to keep that?
Speaker 2: Do you?
Speaker 1: It's I'm asking, yeah, yeah, this is.
Speaker 2: A question, Yeah, this is this is fascinating. But you know,
Speaker 2: when I did figure it out, like at fifty eight
Speaker 2: years old, I did plant medicine, so I did psilocybum
Speaker 2: and journey, and I really did see what my subconscious
Speaker 2: was doing to me. My subconscious was, you know, still
Speaker 2: labeling me a sick kid, always fearful. I was looking
Speaker 2: over my shoulder that another illness was going to come
Speaker 2: along the way. I was never going to be healthy.
Speaker 2: I didn't even know what calm or self love felt like,
Speaker 2: you know. So that really I saw what I was
Speaker 2: doing to myself. And I also felt a sense of
Speaker 2: peace and calm with that. So once I was able
Speaker 2: to release all of those you know, subconscious feelings that
Speaker 2: weren't working for me anymore, I grabbed onto the ones
Speaker 2: that I was like, Okay, I want that calm, I
Speaker 2: want that self love more. And that's what really got
Speaker 2: me in touch with it. And then that's when when
Speaker 2: I meditate, I can go back to that place where
Speaker 2: I was when I did some plant medicine to get
Speaker 2: me past that hump. I had done a lot of therapy,
Speaker 2: I've done a lot of reiki, a lot of meditation,
Speaker 2: and a lot of energy healing crystals, all the stuff,
Speaker 2: But that was really the place that put me over
Speaker 2: the edge to really get me to a place where
Speaker 2: I could recapture, you know, and really find that calmness
Speaker 2: and happiness, and like that's felt so incredible, that feeling.
Speaker 2: So I journal a ton, you know, I do have
Speaker 2: to journal and talk about what frustrates me during the
Speaker 2: day to let go of it, and then I talk
Speaker 2: about what I'm grateful for. That's huge. The meditation's huge,
Speaker 2: the yoga's huge. Just like also getting out in nature
Speaker 2: is absolutely huge. I mean we haven't talked about this
Speaker 2: at all, but you know, and you probably do this,
Speaker 2: you know, getting out in morning sun is a practice
Speaker 2: that is just incredible, Like it boosts your moon. It
Speaker 2: actually helps with depression, you know, it helps with immune system,
Speaker 2: it helps lower blood sugar and blood pressure, and it's
Speaker 2: like a beautiful way to start your day. The sun
Speaker 2: is so incredible. So that those are and then I
Speaker 2: just feel like so hopeful because the sun comes up
Speaker 2: every day, right, you know, it goes down, it comes up.
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, everything's going to be okay.
Speaker 1: I want to go back to the plot medicine point
Speaker 1: because okay, I love hearing that and I want to
Speaker 1: dive into that with you.
Speaker 2: I didn't know if that was something I could talk about.
Speaker 1: Of course it is. Yeah, for someone who doesn't know
Speaker 1: what a plant medicine journey looks like. Yeah, like walk
Speaker 1: us through what that journey looks like.
Speaker 2: So it is psilocybum mushrooms and I've done ayahuasca, psilocybum,
Speaker 2: bunch of plant medicine, and I did it with a shaman,
Speaker 2: a one on one, which was beautiful because I recommend
Speaker 2: that because there's a lot of things you want to
Speaker 2: manifest and like let go of Where did you go
Speaker 2: to do? I did it at home actually with the
Speaker 2: shaman came to me and and so it was a
Speaker 2: friend of mine, and there was just a lot of
Speaker 2: stuff I was dealing with in some insomnia at the time,
Speaker 2: and so he came and we kind of manifested what
Speaker 2: I wanted to release. And when I was on the
Speaker 2: journey with the with the mushrooms, he would talk to
Speaker 2: me and say, hey, how are you feeling? You know,
Speaker 2: what do you think of this? You know, when you
Speaker 2: were sick or when you had cancer your husband died,
Speaker 2: I mean, and I was like, you know, wow, that
Speaker 2: was a really difficult time that I haven't let go
Speaker 2: of those thought patterns and the fear I haven't let
Speaker 2: go of that. So it was so he was like Okay,
Speaker 2: what does it feel like if you were to let
Speaker 2: go of that? And I'm like, can I let go
Speaker 2: of that? Is that like possible? And he's like, absolutely,
Speaker 2: you can get to the other side of this, because
Speaker 2: you know, the first seven years of our life are
Speaker 2: subconscious is fully downloaded, and then you know, those thought
Speaker 2: patterns keep repeating themselves in our subconscious and we operate
Speaker 2: ninety five percent out of our subconscious, which always blows
Speaker 2: my mind, Jay, because five percent conscious, that's crazy. So
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's what it did. He would write down,
Speaker 2: you know, things I said and just how I was
Speaker 2: able to release them. And once I was able to
Speaker 2: release them, Jay, they didn't come back like it was like.
Speaker 2: The things that came back was the feeling of the
Speaker 2: peace and the love and like not wanting to beat
Speaker 2: myself up and like be hard on myself and be
Speaker 2: I was a perfectionist too. That was part of the protocol.
Speaker 2: I think that got me sick. And so that perfectionism,
Speaker 2: you know, find somewhat left me. Probably not one hundred percent,
Speaker 2: but a lot of it did.
Speaker 1: You're taking the plant medicine, someone's guiding you almost like
Speaker 1: in a therapy session, guiding you through questions and helping
Speaker 1: you become aware of where some of these blocks may be,
Speaker 1: where some of these challenges may be. I'm breaking it
Speaker 1: down for everyone who may may be unaway. And then
Speaker 1: what does releasing in that session look like? Like what
Speaker 1: what is that? Is that a feeling? Is it a visualization?
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it you trying to let go? Like?
Speaker 1: What does that? What does that look like in the session?
Speaker 1: And then we'll talk about.
Speaker 2: Ah, yeah, that's a good question too, because it could
Speaker 2: be a like it could be it's a purging, it's
Speaker 2: you know, you could hysterically cry because it's like it's
Speaker 2: an emotion that you've hung onto for many, many years
Speaker 2: and you know, repeated these thought patterns, So it could
Speaker 2: be crying, it could be screaming. It could be you know,
Speaker 2: just like this feeling of Wow, I can't believe I've
Speaker 2: done this to myself, And I would say that, you know,
Speaker 2: it's more like that, just the feeling of sadness and
Speaker 2: and the crying and the like some maybe yelling like God, damn,
Speaker 2: I can't believe, Like how was I so hard on myself?
Speaker 2: Like I don't need to be that hard on myself.
Speaker 2: You know, I didn't need to do that to myself.
Speaker 2: So it was like, you know, and then he was
Speaker 2: He's amazing. He was there to like hold me and
Speaker 2: support me and just really like you know, I just
Speaker 2: love and help me breathe through it. And once you
Speaker 2: kind of like are able to be like, Okay, I
Speaker 2: don't want that anymore in my life. And then you
Speaker 2: breathe through it and you're able to breathwork is like
Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure you've done. Breath work is incredible.
Speaker 2: You can actually in breath work, you can feel like
Speaker 2: you're on plant medicine a lot of times. So you know,
Speaker 2: breathing through it and releasing it through breath work is
Speaker 2: a beautiful thing. So that's kind of how it goes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, now you feeling or seeing both.
Speaker 2: You could see yourself in a distance like what you
Speaker 2: do to you know, it's almost like an all you know,
Speaker 2: another your look at yourself. Yeah, you're feeling it and
Speaker 2: you're seeing yourself in a distance. You know, how you're
Speaker 2: reacting and interacting, and even if you're interacting with other people,
Speaker 2: you know, even people in your family or things that
Speaker 2: have gone on, you can actually see it. It's kind
Speaker 2: of wild. Now, it's not for everybody, no no.
Speaker 1: No, no, for sure, I've I've known many kinds who've
Speaker 1: worked with it and found it to be useful as well.
Speaker 1: I think it's important to share because I want to
Speaker 1: ask when you come out of it, like when, when
Speaker 1: the when, the when the session is over, how much
Speaker 1: have you found that you're able to, what are you
Speaker 1: holding on to? What do you take with you? And
Speaker 1: what still stays the same, Because as we know, it's
Speaker 1: you know, no change is ever miraculous or immediate, So
Speaker 1: so what do you take with you and what still
Speaker 1: exists and is a process.
Speaker 2: That that's beautiful too, because what I took with me
Speaker 2: was that sense of calm and like self love and
Speaker 2: what I wanted to have more in my life. But
Speaker 2: I did also take away, you know, the part of
Speaker 2: how much I was beating myself up, and you know
Speaker 2: how hard I was on myself and what I had
Speaker 2: and why I think I had gotten all these illnesses
Speaker 2: and why I had gotten the cancer, and just why
Speaker 2: I was at the place I was in my life
Speaker 2: where I wasn't getting what I really wanted ultimately, whether
Speaker 2: it also was with relationships or you know, intimately, like
Speaker 2: all those things were really important to me to find,
Speaker 2: and you know, there was blockages, so I realized like
Speaker 2: it was really cool to be able to journal about
Speaker 2: those blockages later like, oh my god, I want to
Speaker 2: release that and I kind of had to do that,
Speaker 2: and I still have to do that. It's not a
Speaker 2: miracle cure. I still in my life have to be like, Okay,
Speaker 2: I need to release you know that thought pattern. I
Speaker 2: still kind of walk around a little bit with it,
Speaker 2: but not to the same extent. When I did the journey,
Speaker 2: I was unconscious about it. Now I'm conscious. That's a
Speaker 2: beautiful thing.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, It's that awareness. Yeah, you know where something came from? Yeah,
Speaker 1: what was it for you? If you don't mind sharing,
Speaker 1: what was it that you found when you asked like
Speaker 1: that's why I believe I'm going to get sick again,
Speaker 1: or that's why I got sick in the first place.
Speaker 1: Where where was that coming from?
Speaker 2: That was coming from like growing up? Because when I
Speaker 2: was I was sick all the time, and my mom,
Speaker 2: you know, labeled me a sick kid, and she would
Speaker 2: always be like, oh, there she is again sick. You know, like,
Speaker 2: well we got to be really sensitive with her because
Speaker 2: you know, she might get sick, and so I kind
Speaker 2: of just you know, followed that, you know what she said,
Speaker 2: and I that's where that's really where it came from.
Speaker 2: It was those years, those early years of always being
Speaker 2: you know, not feeling well.
Speaker 1: And then and you're saying that also helps you then
Speaker 1: deal with challenges that come today. Yeah, like that awareness
Speaker 1: helps you make sense of different things that come up now.
Speaker 2: And also with my clients, not only for myself it's
Speaker 2: changed my life completely, but my clients. I can see
Speaker 2: that happening for them, you know, because I've been through
Speaker 2: all these health issues and because I was, you know,
Speaker 2: in the subconscious thoughts of these repeated messages that weren't
Speaker 2: working for me. We talk about that. You know, I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 2: what is going on with you that's blocking you? Because
Speaker 2: there's something blocking you from getting healthy or wanting to
Speaker 2: heal or a lot of the cancer ones. You know,
Speaker 2: we talk about those things. And also they're also like,
Speaker 2: no one's asked me that, you know, no one's asked
Speaker 2: me what my blockages are or you know, what's going
Speaker 2: on with me? Like did anything happen in those first
Speaker 2: seven early years of your life that maybe was traumatic?
Speaker 2: Jay all of them had like death, divorce, you know,
Speaker 2: or someone was mean to them. You know, they didn't
Speaker 2: and then they lost trust and faith in the universe
Speaker 2: sort of you know. I know it's a little woo woo,
Speaker 2: but they did. They lost faith in like you know,
Speaker 2: know that they didn't have what's in them to be
Speaker 2: able to overcome it. And I think like that has
Speaker 2: been like a beautiful thing for me working with clients
Speaker 2: and helping them heal. I can't I'm not trained to
Speaker 2: get them past it. You know, someone like you can
Speaker 2: get them past it to some degree, but you know,
Speaker 2: it's like that work of you know, diving into the subconscious.
Speaker 2: And I also I work with a hypnotist that's beautiful
Speaker 2: and some energy healers that are wonderful too, and I'll
Speaker 2: send them to them as well if they need to
Speaker 2: like do the extra work, and most of them do.
Speaker 1: What do you find those modalities support? And by the way,
Speaker 1: I agree, I think, I mean, you know what we're
Speaker 1: really talking about today, And I encourage people to follow
Speaker 1: their own intuition and guide as to what speaks to
Speaker 1: them because as it's almost like as you grow and
Speaker 1: learn more, you realize how much there is still to
Speaker 1: explore and how everyone's so different, and you know, everyone
Speaker 1: needs a different way to become aware and a different
Speaker 1: way to become conscious. Like I found a lot of
Speaker 1: my personal awakening and consciousness in meditation and being with
Speaker 1: my teachers and listening for hours and study and practice.
Speaker 1: And then I meet people who needed a you know,
Speaker 1: moment of revelation through plant medicine, or I meet people
Speaker 1: who found it another way, and I just realized everyone
Speaker 1: is so different, and everyone's trauma is so different, and
Speaker 1: everyone's healing journey looks so different, that we can't close
Speaker 1: the door on any of these modalities because and I
Speaker 1: always say that, like sometimes people ask me like, would
Speaker 1: you be open to this? And I'm like, if I
Speaker 1: needed something, if I was trying to unblock something, I'd
Speaker 1: be open to anything, because I should be like, why
Speaker 1: should I close off from any opportunity for healing that
Speaker 1: I need just because it may not be as common
Speaker 1: or as or as marketed or whatever whatever the right
Speaker 1: word is. But but for you, I guess the question
Speaker 1: I was asking is when you're we're talking about this
Speaker 1: like three sixty degree approach, when you talkalked about hypnotism
Speaker 1: and what was the other modality just mentioned energy? Healing
Speaker 1: energy specifically with hypnoism. Where does that modality plan to
Speaker 1: everything we've talked about today? Like what is because again
Speaker 1: I think it sounds so mysterious and maybe like you said,
Speaker 1: woo woo, but like, what is the point of that
Speaker 1: modality is? I guess the question I'm asking.
Speaker 2: So I feel like some hypnotists that are really good
Speaker 2: are able to tap into your subconscious as well, So
Speaker 2: a little bit like therapy, but you know, it goes
Speaker 2: much deeper than talk therapy. The hypnotists that I work with,
Speaker 2: she's able, like I'll talk to her about something that
Speaker 2: is bothering me or I can't sleep about, and she's like, oh,
Speaker 2: this is what's like at the root of your issue.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, how did you know that she can
Speaker 2: like dive in and see like this is what's bothering you.
Speaker 2: So that's what I find is really helpful. And then
Speaker 2: she'll do a meditation specifically for me. So I've had
Speaker 2: tremendous amount of client's go to her or to a
Speaker 2: hypnotist that's really good, who don't eat healthy, who don't exercise,
Speaker 2: who don't sleep well. So then they'll go and she's
Speaker 2: able to get them to sleep well. You know, she's
Speaker 2: able to find out what is causing them not to
Speaker 2: sleep well, and she's able to get them to eat healthy.
Speaker 2: Like it's kind of crazy. They'll wake up the next
Speaker 2: day and automatically start thinking about eating healthy. Now, I
Speaker 2: have to tell you that this doesn't last. So you
Speaker 2: have to listen to our meditations again, or see her again,
Speaker 2: or you know again. It's like a practice.
Speaker 1: Well, because basically what you're saying here is that we're
Speaker 1: reap with every decision thought choice we make is simply
Speaker 1: a programming of our subconscious and we've created a subconscious
Speaker 1: pattern since we were born that has led us to
Speaker 1: where we are now. And if we don't like where
Speaker 1: we are and we want to shift it, we have
Speaker 1: to reprogram our subconscious mind. And that requires under standing
Speaker 1: your thoughts, self awareness, journaling, meditating, reflection, and then if
Speaker 1: you need it, plant medicine, hypnotism, what you know, just
Speaker 1: just the plethora of options there, because I think what
Speaker 1: we get stuck with is we believe that our current
Speaker 1: set of habits are who we are, right. We think
Speaker 1: that the way we eat now is who we are,
Speaker 1: and what we need and what it needs to be,
Speaker 1: not realizing that it is simply a programmed pattern that
Speaker 1: you adopted at one point in your life and you
Speaker 1: started to believe it was you right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, absolutely, Like that's that's what's so fascinating.
Speaker 2: I think about what I get to do because I
Speaker 2: do find that, you know, people do feel like, you know,
Speaker 2: this is where I'm going to be. This is what
Speaker 2: I know. This is you know, I'm not going to
Speaker 2: ever get past here. I might get a little better,
Speaker 2: but I might not get great. Yes, And I'm like,
Speaker 2: what's with this little better? You need to be great?
Speaker 2: Like I feel that way with my life. At sixty four,
Speaker 2: I feel great. I feel better than I did when
Speaker 2: I was in my twenties. So I want people to
Speaker 2: like know that, you know, when I say how are you,
Speaker 2: I want them to say great, not I'm just okay.
Speaker 2: So yeah, that you know, all of those patterns that
Speaker 2: they learned, some are luckier than others that have better
Speaker 2: patterning and you know, better upbringings in terms of just
Speaker 2: like healthier lifestyles and maybe not. So you know, they
Speaker 2: were more secure and you know, self awareness earlier on
Speaker 2: in their life, which is lucky for them, but a
Speaker 2: lot of people that I work with weren't. And like you,
Speaker 2: it's never too late to change, you know. I feel like,
Speaker 2: you know, we're there's a lot of years to live, right,
Speaker 2: I mean, my mom is ninety four, I know, so
Speaker 2: like she's going strong and I'm like, I hope I'm
Speaker 2: ninety four and going strong like that, you know, but
Speaker 2: it takes work to get there and to do that,
Speaker 2: and I feel that's really just all of this, I want,
Speaker 2: you know, the modalities are endless out there, as you know,
Speaker 2: you know, like anti aging and just all of the
Speaker 2: new stuff and the stem cells and the you know,
Speaker 2: NAD and just everything cold blune and just all of
Speaker 2: it is a beautiful thing. Infrared just getting us healthier
Speaker 2: and healthier. So I mean it's a lot to like learn,
Speaker 2: but it's kind of cool that, you know, we're on
Speaker 2: the precipice of all these beautiful things that can really
Speaker 2: turn back the lock absolutely.
Speaker 1: Have you ever talked to your mother about the sick
Speaker 1: kid label?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yeah, And you know it was beautiful because she
Speaker 2: did apologize. She's like, you know, I didn't know any
Speaker 2: different and what she didn't, you know, she didn't know,
Speaker 2: and I think that you know a lot of us
Speaker 2: like taking care of people too, and she loved being
Speaker 2: able to take care of me when I was sick too,
Speaker 2: and I felt I felt nurtured in those times as well.
Speaker 2: So I got a little something out of it. Wasn't
Speaker 2: all bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Alyssa, it has been such a joy
Speaker 1: to talk to you today, and honestly, your personal journey
Speaker 1: that's led to so much professional service and love and
Speaker 1: support for so many people, and the amount of insight
Speaker 1: that you've given today, I think everyone's going to be
Speaker 1: able to take away. And this is what I would
Speaker 1: encourage everyone to do. Is Alyssa's shared so much great
Speaker 1: advice today. Find just one thing that you want to
Speaker 1: practice for the next seven days. It may be to
Speaker 1: eat more whole foods. It may be to cut out sugar.
Speaker 1: It may be to research a bit more about inflammation
Speaker 1: and learn about it. Like I think, just pick one
Speaker 1: thing that resonates with you that you want to try
Speaker 1: and up level your life with. It could be getting
Speaker 1: your vitamin D right, it could be sun exposure, whatever
Speaker 1: else it may be, and start there and just feel
Speaker 1: the confidence shift from doing one thing per week and
Speaker 1: then keep adding more and a lot can happen. Alyssa
Speaker 1: and every episode of the podcast with a final five.
Speaker 1: Theys fast five have to be answered in one word
Speaker 1: to one sentence maximum, and so they cat that way.
Speaker 1: So Aliza Goodwin, these are your final five. The first
Speaker 1: question is what is the best advice you've ever heard
Speaker 1: or received.
Speaker 2: To love yourself? To learn to love yourself beautiful?
Speaker 1: Second question, what is the worst advice you've ever heard
Speaker 1: or received that.
Speaker 2: You're never going to get better, You're not going to heal.
Speaker 1: Question number three, what's something that you used to believe
Speaker 1: was true about good health that you don't think so anymore.
Speaker 2: I used to believe that just sleeping was going to
Speaker 2: get me healthy. You know, good sleep was gonna get
Speaker 2: me healthy. Talk to me about and it's not just
Speaker 2: that anything, right, It's not just one thing. It's a
Speaker 2: combination of things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And we're always looking for that one thing. We
Speaker 1: all want that one miracle. Drag like, what's that one
Speaker 1: thing I need to do that's going to change my life?
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's three sixty. There is no one, Yeah
Speaker 1: that makes sense. Question number four, what's the first thing
Speaker 1: you do every morning and the last thing you do
Speaker 1: every night.
Speaker 2: The first thing I do every morning is probably journal
Speaker 2: and journal about how I want my day to look like,
Speaker 2: and the same thing at night to release the stress.
Speaker 1: Wonderful and fifth and final question, if you could create
Speaker 1: one law that everyone in the world had to follow,
Speaker 1: what would it be?
Speaker 2: I would say, just be kind to yourself and others,
Speaker 2: you know, really understand, try to understand that people are
Speaker 2: going through a lot in their life, and to not
Speaker 2: judge right away, you know, to have some self compassion
Speaker 2: for yourself and the others that you're with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I couldn't agree with you. I really,
Speaker 1: I really believe that the reason we judge others so
Speaker 1: harshly is because we're so harsh on ourselves and we
Speaker 1: haven't found the ability to show ourselves that self love,
Speaker 1: that compassion, that empathy, and so it's so difficult to
Speaker 1: show it externally to people we've never met or don't know.
Speaker 1: And yeah, I love that. Listen. Is there anything that
Speaker 1: I haven't asked you that was on your heart and
Speaker 1: mind that you really want to share that you really
Speaker 1: feel like it's your call to right now or feel
Speaker 1: intuitively is important and you don't have to have anything.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think we did touch on it,
Speaker 2: you know, just ending with the fact you know that
Speaker 2: you you know, life can get better in every way emotionally, physically, spiritually.
Speaker 2: You know. Don't give up on yourself. It's probably my
Speaker 2: biggest you know, don't ever ever give up on yourself.
Speaker 1: I love that. I mean, you're a great You're a
Speaker 1: great spokesperson for that for sure, And I love that end.
Speaker 1: I think it's so easy to be like, oh my
Speaker 1: best days are behind me, it's all going in the
Speaker 1: wrong direction now, or you know, whatever it may be.
Speaker 1: And I mean, just sitting with you and hearing from
Speaker 1: you today, I can tell just how real the opposite
Speaker 1: of that is for you. And it's aspiration or inspiring
Speaker 1: for me for sure, because yeah, you continue to live
Speaker 1: an exciting life and know that there's so much more
Speaker 1: life to live, as opposed to accepting that this is
Speaker 1: the end or this may not be. And I think
Speaker 1: it's really interesting. I was talking to a friend about this,
Speaker 1: this idea of how we often think we manifest bad things,
Speaker 1: kind of like your sick kid approach, Like we often
Speaker 1: think like, oh my god, I did this to myself.
Speaker 1: And I was talking to a friend about this and
Speaker 1: this idea of like, well, if we can do that
Speaker 1: to ourselves, then we surely can do the opposite. I
Speaker 1: just want to get your sense on that.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I know that that's a big that's a big
Speaker 2: thing happening out there. I mean, you know, I'll just
Speaker 2: I kind of I need to plug my two girls
Speaker 2: who are my inspiration in my life, and you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like I like manifested the relationship with them,
Speaker 2: Like I can't live without them, and I look up
Speaker 2: to them and I admire them, and you know, I
Speaker 2: want to be here to be a spokesperson for them
Speaker 2: so that when they have bad days and they say
Speaker 2: maybe something like that, hey, I think I manifested this
Speaker 2: bad stuff to happen. I'm like, no, you can change that.
Speaker 2: You know, you can manifest the good stuff in your life.
Speaker 2: And that really drives me every day is to be
Speaker 2: able to like hopefully be there for them to help
Speaker 2: them manifest the good stuff. Yes, I know that a
Speaker 2: lot of people feel like they manifest the bad things,
Speaker 2: but you're right, you can totally change it around. And
Speaker 2: you know, I and they're young, and I definitely didn't
Speaker 2: have the awareness they have in their twenties.
Speaker 1: I wish I did.
Speaker 2: I'm really bummed about that because I am really in
Speaker 2: awe of how they function and operate, and you know
Speaker 2: how quickly they can turn things around for themselves. And
Speaker 2: I think they've been through a lot. Probably that's why.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the manifesting the good stuff. I want them
Speaker 2: and you know, when I'm not here later in my life,
Speaker 2: you know, I want them to be able to be
Speaker 2: able to do that easily.
Speaker 1: I love that. Well, I think you've set them up
Speaker 1: for amazing success.
Speaker 2: They set me up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I didn't start talking about them because they
Speaker 1: could spend the whole time. I know, Jordan's true. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but thank you so much to listen for coming on
Speaker 1: to on purpose. Everyone's been listening and watching. Make sure
Speaker 1: you share your favorite insights moments. I mean, today was
Speaker 1: a full three sixty degree conversation. We went from gut
Speaker 1: health to detoxing, the cleansing to plot medicine, and it's
Speaker 1: beautiful when this happens. And I hope that you're introduced
Speaker 1: to new modalities. I hope that you allow yourself to
Speaker 1: be open to new approaches. Again, we're not recommending that
Speaker 1: there's one right approach or a wrong approach or however,
Speaker 1: the point is to give you a menu of options
Speaker 1: and ideas and opportunities, because the biggest loss in life
Speaker 1: is feeling like you only have one way to do something,
Speaker 1: and when that way doesn't work, or you've tried it
Speaker 1: a lot and it still doesn't benefit you, that's when
Speaker 1: we mostly give up. And I think recognizing that there's
Speaker 1: a whole variety of options, ideas, insights, expertise out there
Speaker 1: actually fills you with more confidence that you'll find your
Speaker 1: way exactly. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Thank you for having me put an honor.
Speaker 1: That's a joy. Thank you. If you love this episode,
Speaker 1: you'll enjoy my interview with doctor Daniel Ahman on how
Speaker 1: to change your life by changing your brain.
Speaker 3: If we want a healthy mind, it actually starts with
Speaker 3: a healthy brain. You know, I've had the blessing or
Speaker 3: the curse to scam over a thousand convicted felons and
Speaker 3: over a hundred murderers, and their brains
Speaker 2: Are very damaged.
