00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: the way. For today's episode, I am chatting with certified nutritionist,

11
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: chef and longevity wellness expert Serena Poon and I strategically

12
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: set up this interview for the Tuesday after I returned

13
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: from a gluttonous trip because today's topic is all about

14
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: how to take care of your body after let's call

15
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: it a glutenous weekend experience.

16
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: What have you now?

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Before I continue, I want to make sure that I

18
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: say this life is for enjoying. You know me, I'm

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: not about restriction, but I am all about fueling our

20
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: bodies with good for us foods, supplements, nutrition. You get

21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: the idea and there are going to be times where

22
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe you overdo it a little bit and you feel

23
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: less than stellar in your body. I will be the

24
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: first person to tell you that this happens to me.

25
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: I won't say on the regular, but it happens to me,

26
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: it happens to us all. And so for today's conversation,

27
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: Serena and I are talking about what to do when

28
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: you feel like you've overdone it. Of course, our conversation

29
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: starts by praising the importance of grace, knowing that there

30
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: is a time in a place, and that life is

31
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: for celebrating and living. And then Serena does give some

32
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: input into what you should be keeping in mind after

33
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: this kind of glutinous exchange. So this conversation is not

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: focused on specific foods and things. I mean, we talk

35
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: about the benefits of greens and hydration, but really it's

36
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: about best practices that you can integrate into your routine

37
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: to help you feel better in your body, ranging from

38
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: movement to breathwork, and how those practices help remove toxins

39
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: from the body. Plus, Serena also gives us the lowdown

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: on why we might want to investigate adding sea moss

41
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: into our diet. Seriously, and we also talk about the

42
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: concept of fasting and what that can and cannot do

43
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 1: for the body. Lots of really interesting takeaways in this one,

44
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: So thank you so much to Serena for her time.

45
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: I know I myself am inspired to as I finish

46
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: up putting together this episode, get up and go for

47

00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: am sitting down with nutritionist Serena Poon.

62
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: How are you doing today?

63
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm great, Terry. Thank you for having me of course.

64
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: Honestly, some of the most listened to episodes of the

65
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: show are with nutritionists, so I'm always excited when I

66
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to connect with someone with such vast

67
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: experience as you. So let's kick off by talking a

68
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: little bit about that.

69
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: What got you in to the area of New Jrishead.

70
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so thank you again so much for having me.

71
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 3: My background really kind of came from my parents' experience

72
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 3: with health. So they both had cancer very young. My

73
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: daddy was diagnosed with cancer in his forties and it

74
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: was liver cancer, so he actually passed when he was

75
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 3: forty eight, and two months after he passed, my mom

76
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 3: I was diagnosed with a rare form of bavarian cancer.

77
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: She was forty five. So, you know, it was obviously

78
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 3: traditional medicine. There was chemo radiation all that, but we're Chinese,

79
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: so there was also Chinese medicine. And then I started

80
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 3: to look into food and plants and herbs and things

81
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 3: outside of what the doctors were telling us, because first

82
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 3: of all, we were foodies. My dad loved to eat,

83
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: and I feel that there's so much there's food. We

84
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 3: talk about how food is medicine, food is also love,

85
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: and there's a healing in that as well, and they

86
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 3: weren't receiving that, you know, when they were sick and

87
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: during treatment. So I started diving into that then looking

88
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: at different ways, looking at nutrition. How could I help

89
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: support them or at least at the minimum, minimize their symptoms.

90
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: And after college, where I actually study nutrition secondary to

91
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: my major of political science, I went to culinary school.

92
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 3: I studied at lacrod On Blue and I really wanted

93
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,719
Speaker 3: to understand how I could use the culinary arts to

94
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 3: make food as medicine beautiful and appealing to people. So

95
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: that's really how I got started, and just I have

96
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: such a thirst for learning and education, so I just

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 3: started diving into there's holistic nutrition, arobatic and more into

98
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 3: Chinese medicine and food and I still learned to this day.

99
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 3: But that's sort of how I started got my certifications,

100
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: and at the time, because I was a classically trained chef,

101
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: I was sort of teaching nutrition through the food I

102
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: was making and working with clients one and one that way.

103
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: And then I had my own health journey, had several surgeries,

104
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: kind of put myself at the bottom of my self

105
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 3: careless and because of that I had some illness. So

106
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: in my own journey, I actually had some experiences where

107
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: I couldn't cook. After one of my surgeries, I was

108
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: unable to use the upper left side of my body

109
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: for a while. So I really fully dived into nutrition

110
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 3: and just using and opening up that vertical of my

111
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: business and just taking all the knowledge that I had

112
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 3: that I was putting into food and consulting and teaching

113
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 3: people from that point forward. And it's sort of from

114
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: there that I birthed my method of culinary alchemy, which

115
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: is sort of this integrative, functional way of taking nutrition

116
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: from all different aspects but also embodying your mind and

117
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: your energy body. So it's very physical, your physiological, your

118
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: emotional body, your soul body, your energy body, and all

119
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: of that becomes sort of your nutrition protocol. And that's

120
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 3: where it's starting.

121
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: And that's where it started. Well, thank you for sharing that.

122
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: I would be really curious to know a little bit

123
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: about how you personally used food as medicine to remediate

124
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: some of the health issues that you were experiencing.

125
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, so I'm not in my forties. Throughout every

126
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 3: period of your life, your body has different challenges, you know,

127
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: and when I was younger in my twenties, and I

128
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 3: was kind of going through the stress of being a

129
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: caretaker and not taking care of myself. I had a

130
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 3: lot of gut issues, you know, I had a lot

131
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 3: of gut issues. I found my digestive issues. So everything

132
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 3: that I would say everyone at some point may experience,

133
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 3: especially women, you know, whether you have bloating or you're

134
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 3: not regular, or it's uncomfortable, and really sort of diving

135
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 3: into the microbiome and understanding the gut and how we

136
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 3: can support that with probiotics. And I have a few

137
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: other things now that I can share to your audists

138
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 3: that they may not have heard of that really also

139
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 3: help you your gut health. That also affects your immunity,

140
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: because your microbiome is quarter your immunity. So then I

141
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 3: found myself getting sick, you know, every winter, especially after

142
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: the holidays, when I was working so hard as a

143
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: private chef, and you know, you go super hard, you

144
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: burn your adrenals, and then you get sick, you know,

145
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 3: because you're sort of running on adrenaline. So then I

146
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: had to sort of learn how to really support my

147
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 3: body by mitigating inflammation, really supporting the adrenals and keeping

148
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 3: my immune system strong. One of the primary health issues

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 3: that I had that kind of spanned like eight years

150
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 3: and eight surgeries, was that I contracted MRSA Mrsay, which

151
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: is a deadly said staff infection after one of my surgeries.

152
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 3: So that sort of kind of keeps me at a

153
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 3: baseline where I always have to be very mindful of

154
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: inflammation of keeping my immune system strong. So that was

155
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: sort of that period of life and moving forward, and

156
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 3: then now that I'm a little bit older, it's there's

157
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 3: such a focus on female health, you know, my hormonal health,

158
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: and a lot of my focuses on stress management, and

159
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: then the things that we can put into our bodies

160
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 3: through food obviously nutrition and also supplements that can help

161
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 3: support that.

162
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: What I'd love to really dial in on here is

163
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: gut health, because I do think that this will segue

164
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: us into our conversations today, which is kind of talking

165
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: about out uh, detoxing or good things that you can

166
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: do for your body maybe after you feel as though

167
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: you've gone a little bit off the rails. So before

168
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: we get there, let's talk a little bit about gut health.

169
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: You said you may have some insight into things we

170
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: don't know about when it comes to taking care of

171
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: our guts.

172
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: So lead me into that. What are we talking about here?

173
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: So you know, everyone knows about probiotics. You know, there's probiotics,

174
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: which is that's the good, the good bacteria, right, the

175
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: friendly bacteria that we want in our gut. And then

176
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: of course the probiotics, which is the food. It's the

177
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: food for the probiotics. With the probiotics nimble on, and

178
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: then you also have like post biotics, and so all

179
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 3: of this is you know, we're starting to learn more

180
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: and more about bacteria. There's so many different strains and

181
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: how it helps support our system. So I would say

182
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 3: that most of us, by the time we're a young adult,

183
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 3: has probably taken a cycle of antibiotics at some point,

184
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 3: and that can really recab it on your gut microbiome

185
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 3: because it kind of kills all of our bacteria, so

186
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 3: the good and the bad. And if you and maybe

187
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: there are some people out there that have never taken

188
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: a cycle of antibiotics, but if you have, then it's

189
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: really about the rebuild, you know, because it strips away

190
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 3: all of our good bacteria as well. It's about putting

191
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 3: that good bacteria back in. So you get that in

192
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: the form of high quality probiotics. There's all different forms, right,

193
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 3: There's there's you know, soil base, which is very popular.

194
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 3: There's you know, and I would say talk to your

195
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 3: practitioner because I can't drop brand names here, but you know,

196
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,839
Speaker 3: talk to your health practitioner and your doctor about getting

197
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: having a really solid probiotic that supported with a probiotic

198
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: that you want to have on a regular basis. Now,

199
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 3: some people have an overgrowth, right, like if you've got

200
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 3: some if you've got like candida or see some overgrowth,

201
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: that may not serve you in a short period of time.

202
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 3: But on a regular basis, you want to have healthy

203
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 3: bacteria and you've got microbiom and you want to be

204
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 3: able to feed that bacteria. And especially if you've gone

205
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 3: through or taking any type of antibiotic, and you want

206
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: to do it during So most doctors will say it's pointless,

207
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: pointless to take probiotics when you're on antibiotics. I highly disagree.

208
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: It's really about when you take it. So if you're

209
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: taking an antibiotic and it's like a twice a day thing,

210
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 3: then you want to find time in the middle of

211
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 3: your day where you take a probiotic and something that

212
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 3: has live bacteria in it that's refrigerated. There are some

213
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 3: that are shelf stable. You want to get that in

214
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 3: the middle of your day away at least three hours

215
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: away from taking that to help support your system. And

216
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,959
Speaker 3: then there's something that I have, you know, recommended, I've

217
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 3: been using for years, that I've been recommending to my clients,

218
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: and really there's been such I didn't realize people didn't

219
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 3: really know about it. So we did a blog post

220
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 3: and it's called Irish sea moss. Just get some unless

221
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: you have unless you're exceedingly high in certain minerals. Irish

222
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 3: sea moss is basically a seaweed. You find it off

223
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 3: the coast of like the Virgin Islands, like Saint John.

224
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 3: It's and it's seaweed, so you can get dry and dehydrated,

225
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 3: you can rehydrate it, cook it a little bit without

226
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 3: killing it, and it looks like a gel and you

227
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 3: just take like a scoop of that once a day.

228
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: I would say, depending on what your system is, like

229
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 3: one to two tablespoons once a day, maybe you might

230
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: need more, you know, towards the evening or something. And

231
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 3: this is like the superfood of superfoods. It's got nine

232
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: ninety four of the one hundred plus essential amino acids.

233
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 3: It's higher in touring for anyone who's more plant forward.

234
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 3: It's got all the vitamin minerals that you need and

235
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: because of them, and this is sort of very rividic

236
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 3: or Chinese medicine. It's it's like a gel, so it

237
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 3: kind of mimics don't get grissed like kind of mucus.

238
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 3: You know, our gut, our digestive system or GI system

239
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: is very it's lined with it's our The mucosal system

240
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 3: of our GI is so important that protects us. And

241
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: so a lot of people have leaky guts because they

242
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: don't have healthy gut MicroB that can lead to other issues.

243
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: And this is something that's really helped people that have

244
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: had lifelong ibs, you know, lifelong floating, lifelong digestive issues,

245
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: food allergies, food intolerances, constipation, all kinds of things. So

246
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: if you have any of those issues, or if you've

247
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: been rough on your tummy, like maybe went to Vegas

248
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 3: for a weekend and had a bachelor bachelor party, this

249
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 3: is something that you want to put into your system

250
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 3: because it really helps heal and coat the gut and

251
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: then helps support the microbiome.

252
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned, you know, kind of going out and

253
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: going to a bachelor a bachelorette party in Vegas. I myself,

254
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: you and I are having this conversation shortly after I

255
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: return from the super Bowl. It was a fun weekend,

256
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: but definitely a gluttonous weekend. And so that brings me

257
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: to the concept and topic of which we are here

258
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: to talk about today. What is someone to do when

259
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: they're feeling as though they have quote unquote messed up.

260
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 1: I'd love for us to address the mental side of

261
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: things right and the importance of having grace with yourself

262
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: after a big weekend. So what's the first thing that

263
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 1: you talk to your clients about after they feel as

264
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: though maybe they have gone too far in one direction?

265
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, And that's such a And thank you for

266
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: bringing this topic up because it's so important. You know,

267
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: we beat ourselves up so hard when we have when

268
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 3: we binge, or we have a bad weekend or bad night.

269
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: And first of all, it's not even scientific. You've proven

270
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 3: that one bad night or one bad day or one

271
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 3: bad weekend is going to destroy your life. Our bodies

272
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: are always rebuilding like we are an ever healing, ever growing,

273
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: ever regenerating being. You know you are. Sometimes I think

274
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 3: that we it's really sort of about coming back to

275
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: reverence for yourself, for your for this incredible machine that

276
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: we are, which is more profound than you know, a

277
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 3: device that we give so much credit to. We're constantly regenerating,

278
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 3: We're constantly healing. So the first thing I would say

279
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 3: is exactly that, like, one weekend is not going to

280
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: destroy you. Now, are you going to feel terrible? Well?

281
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: Of course, because you put a whole bunch of toxins

282
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: in your body. So it's really just about pulling those

283
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 3: toxins out. And the number one thing and it sounds

284
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 3: so simple that people don't do that they can do

285
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 3: to help themselves is hydration. You know, from longevity conferences

286
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 3: that I've spoken at, to nutrition, to wellness, to right

287
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: I mean anything. If someone asked me, what is give

288
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: me a top three tip take home tip for people,

289
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 3: it's number one of them is always hydration. I would

290
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 3: say it's my number one. If I'm given three, it's

291
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 3: number one. If I'm given five, it's number one. If

292
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 3: I'm given ten, it's number one. Because every single client

293
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: except for me, be two that I've ever had comes

294
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: to me dehydrated. We just don't drink enough. We just

295
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 3: don't hydrate enough, but we don't drink enough water. So

296
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 3: unless you have something with your kidneys or your mineral

297
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 3: highly mineral deficient, which you can also add in trace

298
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 3: minerals back into your water, really staying while hydrate is

299
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 3: going to help you so much because it helps your

300
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 3: body flesh, it helps your body detox, and that is

301
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: what your body is trying to get rid of to

302
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 3: feel better. So whether it's alcohol or highly processed foods

303
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 3: or fried foods, I love my fries as well. You know,

304
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: whatever it is, it's you want to you want to

305
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 3: be really hydrated. I start my day with lemon water

306
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: every single day, like a warm cup of lemon water. Well,

307
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: I start my day with with coconut oil. I oil pool,

308
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 3: and it's actually something that can make you feel better,

309
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 3: especially if you've binged, because we have an accumulation of bacteria,

310
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: not the fun kind, not the friendly kine. So you

311
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 3: oil poll just those few days after you've had a binge,

312
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: even that alone will help with your immune system and

313
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: it'll help you feel better. So that's just basically taking

314
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 3: like a spoonful of coconut oil or something swishing around

315
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 3: in your mouth while you take a shower, so for

316
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 3: five or ten minutes, spinning it out and then brushing

317
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: your teeth, and then drinking your water or drinking anything else,

318
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 3: because you don't want to pull all those bacterias back

319
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 3: into your system. It's in your mouth and you want

320
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 3: to get rid of it. So staying really well hydrated,

321
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 3: alkalizing your system because most of the times when we binge,

322
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 3: we're taking in foods and beverages that are a little

323
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 3: bit more acidic. So whether it's alcohol or coffee for

324
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 3: the day after alcohol or whatever it is, we're putting

325
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 3: foods into our system that changes our page level and

326
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 3: puts it more into the acidic side. So if you

327
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: can alkalize your system, so whether it's with alkaline water

328
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,360
Speaker 3: or drinking some lemon water, alkalizing your system is something

329
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 3: that's really going to help you. And then you want

330
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 3: to sort of take in foods to help cut what

331
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 3: I call it like leachs those toxins out. Helps you

332
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 3: kind of culate those toxins, and you want to put

333
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: things into your system to help you help bind I

334
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: love fresh herbs, like partially cilantro. I would put them

335
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 3: in your juices. The next day reach for a green juice,

336
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 3: which for some people it sounds not so yummy. For me,

337
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 3: I love, But if you need a little sweetness and

338
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 3: it put a green apple, put something in it, because

339
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 3: it's highly alkalizing. And if you put some of those

340
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 3: fresh herbs in it, they pull toxins as well, especially metals.

341
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: So these are all things that it just you know,

342
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 3: in order to feel better, you got to get rid

343
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 3: of the junk, and so that's that's what you need

344
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: to do, and just stay super hydrated.

345
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, because so often we're told we need all of

346
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: these things to detox. But the real deal is that

347
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: our bodies naturally do it for us.

348
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 3: Right, Our bodies are doing this without us even thinking

349
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 3: about it as we breathe, you know. So breath work

350
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,199
Speaker 3: is something that is a bit more popular nowadays. But

351
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 3: even as we breathe, we're releasing toxins, you know, So

352
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 3: just even taking deep breaths or doing some sort of

353
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 3: breath work or gentle movement, all of this is helping.

354
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 3: You know, one of the most important things to remember

355
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: that you brought up when you first asked me, is

356
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: just sort of being gentle worth ourselves and having that

357
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 3: grace and being and being kind to our nervous system,

358
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: you know, because when when you're out and you're having

359
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 3: a great time and you're celebrating the Super Bowl or

360
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 3: anything else, our nervous we're having a great time, but

361
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 3: our nervous system is like jacked, you know. And so

362
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 3: part of it is also allowing ourselves to kind of

363
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,400
Speaker 3: come back into a place of receiving, of processing, of

364
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 3: digesting and releasing, and that's bringing our nervous system back

365
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 3: into a parasympathetic state, and we know how to do that.

366
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 3: That's meditation, that's breath, just taking it easy. All of

367
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 3: those things that shift us into that state helps us detoks.

368
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 3: It helps us get our bodies back into that sort

369
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 3: of regenerous space, because, as you say, our bodies naturally release,

370
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 3: our bodies naturally cleansed and clean, and to allow ourselves

371
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 3: to do that, it's kind of being in that and

372
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 3: that relaxed, easy state and judging ourselves for what we

373
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 3: did for the weekend does not put us in that

374
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 3: parasympathetic state, you know. So it's really it kind of

375
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 3: we get stressed out. I was just like, ah, and

376
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 3: I've you know, I did this. I'm so mad at myself.

377
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 3: I lost all this weight just to get to the

378
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,400
Speaker 3: just to go on this trip, and then I binged

379
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: and I feel like I've put all this weight back

380
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: and I feel bloated. And that's just natural how your

381
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 3: body processes. Know that it's temporary. Know that it was

382
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 3: just a weekend. It's not going to change your life

383
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: unless this is what you're going to do every single day,

384
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: and that you can just clean it out and start fresh.

385
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: Taking a break from today's episode to talk to you

386
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: about my sponsors. First up, ag one from Athletic Greens.

387
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: AG one so much more than a greenspowder. It's your

388
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: daily multivitamin and multimeneral pre and probiotic, immunity support and more.

389
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: And yes, it provides your daily Greens blends. Two Greens

390
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: powders provide critical final nutrients, but these nutrients don't help

391
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: empower gut health.

392
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 2: By delivering the final nutrient.

393
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: Blend along with the multi vitamins, probiotics, adaptagens and more,

394
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: ag one creates an environment where the gut can thrive,

395
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 1: so the body can thrive too. I have been on

396
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 1: the AG one train for years now, and it's less

397
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: of what I feel when I take it, and more

398
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: so at this point, how I feel when I don't say,

399
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: if I'm just moving really fast on the run in

400
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 1: the morning, I can feel a noticeable difference if I

401
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: so happen to accidentally skip out on my morning Greens.

402
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: They have changed the.

403
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Way that I feel in my body, and I know

404
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,680

00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: admit that after a weekend or a week or whatnot

433
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: of like questionable eating decisions, I have been in a

434
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: place where I've thought maybe I should just take a

435
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: little time off, i e. Fast for twelve hours, twenty

436
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: four hours reset the body. I know now that behaviors

437
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: like that don't serve me, and that through my studying

438
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: for my Precision Nutrition Level one certification and whatnot. The

439
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: best thing I can do is start to put good

440
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: for me foods in my body. But I say this

441
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: because I know that there are people listening to this

442
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: who have certainly had the same thoughts.

443
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there are some people and there are

444
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 3: a lot of people actually that feel like, oh, I

445
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 3: ate so bad, I did, I was so naughty. I'm

446
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: just not going to eat you know for two days.

447
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: That actually stresses our system out. You know, our bodies

448
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 3: are adjusted and you know, depending on your lifestyle, your

449
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: body adjust to what comes in. So if it's used

450
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 3: to a certain number of calories coming in, if it's

451
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 3: used to a certain number of nutrients, when you put

452
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 3: it in full deficit, it's stressful for the body. Now

453
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 3: I am, you know, longevity wellness expert, so I will

454
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 3: say that putting your body in short bouts of stress,

455
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 3: you know, is actually good. You know, that's that's hormonic

456
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: stress that can signal autophagy, and that's actually very good

457
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 3: for longevity, which is why intermittent fasting has become so

458
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 3: popular and I personally do that as well. I'm very

459
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 3: big about an eating window you know, and getting a

460
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 3: lot of nutrient dense foods and an eating windows. So

461
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,119
Speaker 3: I may, I may fast for twelve to sixteen hours

462
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 3: on any given day. I try to do it regularly.

463
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 3: But don't forget that those hours counts. Your sleep counts

464
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 3: during that time, you know. So it's not like you

465
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 3: are awake for twelve hours and you donate. It's more

466
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: like your sleep, your sleep time counts. What you're saying

467
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 3: is that is it not healthy to just go and

468
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: starve yourself for two days after you have a bange?

469
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: And yes, I agree, I don't think that that's healthy.

470
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,959
Speaker 3: I think that what you're doing is the perfect thing

471
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 3: to do, which is hydrate your system, have some moon movement,

472
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: help your body flesh out, you know, anything that you

473
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: put into it that doesn't serve you that you don't

474
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 3: want any of those toxins, and then put really good

475
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 3: things into your body, you know, the extra greens and

476
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 3: maybe just even being fully plant based or plant forward

477
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,680
Speaker 3: for those few days helps our helps our systems cleanse

478
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 3: and alkalize and get back and then bring in the

479
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:28,639
Speaker 3: neutrines that it needs.

480
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 1: So when we're thinking about what some of these good

481
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: things can be can you provide a few examples.

482
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: So I'm very big about eating the rainbow, you know,

483
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 3: that sort of core to my culinary alchemy, proprietary method

484
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 3: of that protocol that I do. I put it out

485
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: in the community, but I also work with clients that way.

486
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: Eating the rainbow is really important because we get all

487
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 3: those polyphenols, all those plant funels, all those vitamins and

488
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,239
Speaker 3: neutunes that our body actually needs because we are kind

489
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: of hit a deficit if we're binging on things that

490
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 3: aren't as healthy, and that helps us. And greens, you know,

491
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 3: anything that's highly alkalizing, anything that's in anti inflammatory. So

492
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 3: you know most people know about ginger and turmeric. Those

493
00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 3: are great, you know, down those immunity shots that you

494
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 3: you might see at the juice store or at the

495
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,199
Speaker 3: grocery store, those are all great when you're trying to

496
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,719
Speaker 3: sort of detox, but at the same time give your

497
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 3: body what it needs. So lots of greens, fresh vegetables.

498
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: Of course, if you can get them organic, that would

499
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: be preferred. And I would say minimize the sugar. So

500
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 3: people may go to smoothies thinking that this feels refreshing

501
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 3: and great, and it is, but just be mindful of

502
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: how much fruit there is in it and how much

503
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: sugar because because you know that might not always serve

504
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: your system as well, because you probably already took in

505
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 3: a lot of sugar when you were binging. So minimizing

506
00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: that the few days after the week after is good.

507
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 3: You know, lots of greens, it really helps.

508
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: We like greens, Okay? Cool?

509
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: And then as we move forward and talk about this

510
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 1: concept of detoxing aside from hydration, taking in greens, being

511
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 1: mindful of the sugars that you're putting into your body,

512
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: is there anything else that we should take into account?

513
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: I love that you touched on the concept slash benefit

514
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: of breathwork and meditation.

515
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, I mean we want to release, right, and

516
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 3: so we want to sweat because sweating is a way

517
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 3: that our bodies release toxins. And you can do that

518
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: in so many different ways. You know, whether that's through

519
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 3: exercise and of course drink more water when you're sweating.

520
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 3: A lot, can be through hot yoga, through cardio, it

521
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 3: can be any form of exercise and movement. And then

522
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 3: of course there's also being in the saunas. You know,

523
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 3: whether you are wanting to go sit in an in

524
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 3: for it, sauna or any sort of sauna that helps.

525
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 3: Anytime your body can release, you are letting go of

526
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: those toxins. So massage too. And my clients love this

527
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 3: when I tell them massage can be added into your

528
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 3: week as not just a lifestyle modality for health, but

529
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: actually movement because you are moving your muscles, the mazousin

530
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 3: the therapist is actually helping to open up and release

531
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: those toxins. That's why they tell you drink a bunch

532
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: of water after this, because they want you to let

533
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: that pass through. So lymphatic drainage, massage, any type of

534
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 3: sort of there's all kinds of quote biohacking type of

535
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:41,440
Speaker 3: gear that can help facilitate, you know, with compression and massage.

536
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 3: All of that is great. Body work is great. Breath

537
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 3: work is great obviously. Meditation, I believe is great for everything,

538
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,360
Speaker 3: not just detoxing, but because you breathe, you know, methodically.

539
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 3: When you're in meditation again, every time you breathe, you're

540
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 3: breathing out toxins, you know, and you're breathing in what

541
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 3: your body needs and you're breathing out what your body

542
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 3: doesn't need. So all of that is great. And of

543
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 3: course I know the ivs have become very popular in

544
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 3: the last few years. They're excellent predominantly for hydration because

545
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: most people after they've you know, had a binge type

546
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,480
Speaker 3: of a weekend, they're dehydrated. Usually you've taken in more

547
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 3: salts and more sugars, and you probably your body's not

548
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 3: in balance with the amount of sodium that you're taking in,

549
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:32,440
Speaker 3: which is why that can be helpful. So you know,

550
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 3: I'm a fan of those as well, but you're mostly

551
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 3: getting hydration when you're doing the IV You are getting

552
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: the vitamins depending on what blend that you get, and

553
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 3: that's probably because you didn't take in as many nutrient

554
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: dense foods when you were binging and you're burning through

555
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: a lot.

556
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: I feel like this word binging is like triggering for me.

557
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 1: Do you find that a lot with like the clients

558
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: that you work with.

559
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 3: It depends some people, yes, And I apologize if it

560
00:31:58,960 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 3: was triggering for you.

561
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 2: But know like it's not. It's not your fault.

562
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: But I feel like it's just there's such a negative

563
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: connotation with the idea of like, oh, there's so much

564
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: guilt associated with it.

565
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 3: It is and there shouldn't be because by definition, what

566
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 3: does binging mean. Binging means over consumption, right, and so

567
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 3: we can just say over consumption. We consumed on you know, you're.

568
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 2: At the super Bowl, So not only did you.

569
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: Over consume maybe on foods and drinks that you wouldn't

570
00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: normally on an average basis, our senses are over consuming.

571
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 3: Between the number of people and the energies and the

572
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 3: sound and the decipel and the volume of sound and

573
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 3: the lights and everything going on, our entire system is

574
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: over consuming. So you know, I think that anytime, you know,

575
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 3: I think that most of the time there's something, it's

576
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 3: because there's a judgment. And don't judge anything. You know,

577
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 3: you're allowed to live your life, like go have a

578
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 3: good time. Just know that sometimes when you're doing that,

579
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 3: when we over consume, then we're just we're putting more

580
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 3: into our system than our body needs. And that can

581
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 3: be you can over consume and binge on broccoli, you know.

582
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really just about overconsumption. And I think

583
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 3: typically when we associate the word binge, it's associated with partying, right,

584
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 3: and so there's this sort of negative connotation. But like

585
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 3: let's just strip the judgment from it. What are you

586
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 3: doing when you're binging? You are taking in more of

587
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 3: something that you You are taking more than you need

588
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: of something, you know, whether it's a food or beverage.

589
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 3: It may be alcohol, it may be tater tuts, whatever

590
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 3: it is. At the end of the day, you're just

591
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 3: taking in more than your body needs. That's simply what

592
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 3: it is. So what do you you just balance out

593
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: your body?

594
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so we talked about, you know, certain foods

595
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: and things to incorporate if you feel like you've kind

596
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 1: of overdone it. We talked about the benefit of breathwork.

597
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: The last thing that I do want to talk about,

598
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: and we touched on it all right briefly already is

599
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,360
Speaker 1: the benefit fit of getting some movement in right, and

600
00:34:02,360 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: that movement doesn't need to be anything crazy.

601
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: It can even be something simple like a walk.

602
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it doesn't have to be high intensity. You know,

603
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 3: it's really just about movement. We have this mentality and

604
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: it's very much a us mentality that more is better,

605
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 3: and it doesn't have to be It's just about movement.

606
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,879
Speaker 3: It's movement, getting the movement and the energy and your

607
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 3: body flowing, you know, getting your fluids flowing. Getting your

608
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 3: own flat, your lymphatic flowing, getting your circulation flowing so

609
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: that things can't your toxins can come out, your cells

610
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 3: can get fed oxygen. I mean, it's just about flow.

611
00:34:41,160 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: So any type of movement, walking is great. I mean,

612
00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: you can even do light yoga. Yeah. So the movement

613
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 3: can help with circulation, it can help with your lymphatic system,

614
00:34:53,400 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 3: which is sort of our detoxing system, right, and it

615
00:34:56,880 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 3: can help with your digestive system, and of course, like

616
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 3: I said, it helps with the energy. Just kind of
