Speaker 1: Dr Mendy, thank you so much for coming on my podcast.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited. I talked to you daily. This is
Speaker 1: just like an extension. It is I have never had.
Speaker 1: I've never had someone who's been by my side in
Speaker 1: my health the journey when it comes to you. I've
Speaker 1: had wonderful people by my side with mental health and
Speaker 1: that you really encompass all of it from mental, spiritual, emotional, physical,
Speaker 1: But I've never had someone for my physical health like
Speaker 1: really be as in as all in as you are.
Speaker 1: And I'm just so so grateful You've changed my life.
Speaker 1: Thank you. It's truly the pleasure is mine and the
Speaker 1: way you take information and you apply it without hesitation
Speaker 1: is just profound. So the joy is equal on my
Speaker 1: side as well. It's the journey has been really fun.
Speaker 1: Thank you. I don't know if I would have been
Speaker 1: able to take that information and apply it and have
Speaker 1: the desire that I have for my physical health at
Speaker 1: any other point in my life. But at thirty nine,
Speaker 1: I came across your book them in a pause reset
Speaker 1: just to give people some backstory. You know, I'm thirty
Speaker 1: nine years old, and I was like, Okay, I'm about
Speaker 1: to hit I'm going I think I'm in perimenopause. I
Speaker 1: remember one of the first questions I asked you was like,
Speaker 1: am I imperimenopause? It's the million dollar question. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm looking into my forties and I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people who listen to this podcast are in the
Speaker 1: same boat. And I'm wanting to feel good as I
Speaker 1: shift into a different stage of my life. And when
Speaker 1: it came across your book, I started to recognize the
Speaker 1: things that I was going through at the time, mood
Speaker 1: swings in my cycle, like really having these bouts of
Speaker 1: anger and sensitivity to sound and light, just so many
Speaker 1: different things. Depression, anxiety like could that be coming from
Speaker 1: other places that I had yet to touch upon? And
Speaker 1: so finding your book was this eye opener for me
Speaker 1: to be able to see a different future. And it's
Speaker 1: taken you know, we've worked together now for about three months,
Speaker 1: and it's I'm just now starting to wrap my head
Speaker 1: around the possibility of a whole different life. And that's
Speaker 1: what I want to introduce women, and I mean everyone
Speaker 1: to to what could be going on in their bodies,
Speaker 1: from toxicity to how we go into menopause, to all
Speaker 1: the things. So, which is my favorite saying, and I
Speaker 1: my favorite thing about you is you have this powerful
Speaker 1: mission and I would just love for you to introduce
Speaker 1: people to what that mission is and how you kind
Speaker 1: of stumbled upon your deep desire for for your mission.
Speaker 1: You're you're going deep first, Uh, it's become a mission
Speaker 1: because it was uh some painful years for me. After
Speaker 1: forty um or, I really hit a wall with my
Speaker 1: health and it kind of sideswiped me. I the story
Speaker 1: that I always tell is that at forty I had
Speaker 1: one goal and one vision for my health, and that
Speaker 1: was to fit into my skinny jeans. And I actually
Speaker 1: the funny part of that story is I always wanted
Speaker 1: to fit into a pair of Hudson jeans because they
Speaker 1: had the little like flaps on the back. Um, but
Speaker 1: my booty didn't really look good and um so anyway,
Speaker 1: So I had that goal, and so at forty I
Speaker 1: did everything I could to be in shape, and I
Speaker 1: hit it. At forty three, I was a different person.
Speaker 1: I still fit into my skinny jeans, but I was
Speaker 1: waking up at night and sweating so bad that I
Speaker 1: had to actually get my husband out of bed and
Speaker 1: I had to change the sheets. I got to a
Speaker 1: point where it was so habitual that by the end
Speaker 1: of the night I would actually put a sleeping bag
Speaker 1: and sleep in the sleeping bag and just get the
Speaker 1: sleeping bag drenched and just like wash that. The next day,
Speaker 1: I had depression so bad. I had never really understood
Speaker 1: what depression was. I always say that I came from
Speaker 1: a lemonade family where we made lemonade, lemonade out of lemons.
Speaker 1: That was what I was trained. But I would be
Speaker 1: like driving to my office just crying, just crying, and
Speaker 1: I didn't really understand why, Like I just didn't get it,
Speaker 1: and then anxiety kicked in, and then honestly, um that
Speaker 1: like suicidal thoughts. I got to a point where I
Speaker 1: was like, I can't live in this body. I can't
Speaker 1: live in this mind. I don't know what's going on
Speaker 1: with me. So I started asking around to try to
Speaker 1: figure it out, because I was doing all the things,
Speaker 1: and um, I felt like one am I missing? And
Speaker 1: everybody I talked to, you know. I went to my
Speaker 1: closest friends and they were like, oh, buck up, little camper,
Speaker 1: because this is very menopause and this is the hell
Speaker 1: we've been going through. And I went to my mom,
Speaker 1: who said I didn't have any of those things. I
Speaker 1: went to my big sister, who said, yeah, you should
Speaker 1: probably get on antidepressants. And I didn't really want to
Speaker 1: do that. And so one day it was at the
Speaker 1: science fair at my kids school and I was standing
Speaker 1: next to, you know, another mom who was an o B.
Speaker 1: And I turned to her and I was like, I'm
Speaker 1: so sorry to talk shop right now, but I'm struggling
Speaker 1: and I really need some help, and I'm wondering what
Speaker 1: you would do with these symptoms. And I told her,
Speaker 1: and she turned and like looked right in me in
Speaker 1: the eye, and there was something the way she looked
Speaker 1: at me, and she said, mindy, I have a practice
Speaker 1: full of women like you, and my medical textbooks have
Speaker 1: failed me. And I don't know what to do, and
Speaker 1: what are you doing? Then she flipped it on me,
Speaker 1: what are you doing for the women in your practice?
Speaker 1: And I left that night the Science Fair and I thought,
Speaker 1: if it's happening to every woman, there must be something
Speaker 1: environmental I'm missing. There must be something I'm missing. And
Speaker 1: so the mission was really born that night to find
Speaker 1: a solution for myself. And once I found that solution,
Speaker 1: and there were really five things that I started to
Speaker 1: unwind in my life that weren't working for me. Once
Speaker 1: I identified that mission, I started to feel better. I
Speaker 1: just thought, every woman needs to know this, and the
Speaker 1: thing about you and being thirty nine and coming to
Speaker 1: me at thirty nine and what I think is such
Speaker 1: an interesting manifestation. The way this all worked out was
Speaker 1: once I wrote the book, once I put it out,
Speaker 1: Once I heard so many women in their forties going
Speaker 1: through problems I heard. So I've heard so many women
Speaker 1: in their fifties that still they've been in menopause for
Speaker 1: a decade or longer and they're still having the symptoms.
Speaker 1: I was like, I gotta scream this from the rooftops.
Speaker 1: And so the mission is to give people hope and
Speaker 1: give women their power back. We give our power away
Speaker 1: all the time to people, to drugs, to doctors, and
Speaker 1: my mission is to teach people how powerful their body
Speaker 1: is and that they can be in control of their health.
Speaker 1: They just have to figure out their own path. And
Speaker 1: it's a unique one, which is the hardest, and you're
Speaker 1: experiencing that for sure. Yeah, it is unique and so
Speaker 1: intricate at the same time too, and it's you have
Speaker 1: to be patient, and it's like, you know, for me,
Speaker 1: it's like learning myself on a whole new level. And
Speaker 1: you know, when it comes to menopause, you know the
Speaker 1: things that I was told and my mom still tells me,
Speaker 1: it's like once you hit forty, like everything goes downhill
Speaker 1: from there basically. And it's like, wait, like you're saying
Speaker 1: you feel powerless. You're like, okay, so I'm just supposed
Speaker 1: to succumb to aging and all the things that I
Speaker 1: think for me when I think of that that come
Speaker 1: along with that, like less of a woman. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be worth anything anymore because I'm older and
Speaker 1: I can't produce like I mean for me that there's
Speaker 1: so many levels to that production piece that you know,
Speaker 1: I can't produce anymore, and you know what happens after that.
Speaker 1: And I think there's just been so many the stories
Speaker 1: around menopause and the stories around aging, especially for women,
Speaker 1: are so negative, Like it's just there is no hope,
Speaker 1: you know, not until I've found your book and your
Speaker 1: take on everything that I I think that there was
Speaker 1: any hope. I kind of and I think a lot
Speaker 1: of women out there just you almost like you don't
Speaker 1: want to face it. You kind of put it off,
Speaker 1: you know, at thirty, and I'm like, I still don't
Speaker 1: want to look at the fact that I want my
Speaker 1: mom to be wrong. I think she's wrong about a
Speaker 1: lot of that, and at the same time, I think
Speaker 1: she's right about a lot of it. And so it's
Speaker 1: something that we all at my age, I think want
Speaker 1: to we don't want to have to look down that barrel.
Speaker 1: But it's right there. Yeah. I I feel like what
Speaker 1: happens to a lot of women in their forties, I
Speaker 1: call it an extreme sport. My forties was an extreme sport,
Speaker 1: and my twenties and thirties were so gone. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: let's see, this is why we're doing the work now,
Speaker 1: so your forties don't have to be Because I can
Speaker 1: tell you fifty rocks like, now that I've done done
Speaker 1: all the work on my own self, I like, I really,
Speaker 1: at fifty two feel happier than ever. But but it's
Speaker 1: because of the work I did in the forties. But
Speaker 1: to your point about not having answers and women bitching,
Speaker 1: that's what I found. And I, you know, as much
Speaker 1: as I joke about my friends who were like five
Speaker 1: years older than me, saying oh yeah, you're finally hear
Speaker 1: you now know why we've been all crazy? Um um,
Speaker 1: I just couldn't accept that as an answer. I didn't
Speaker 1: feel like I was supposed to go downhill at forty.
Speaker 1: If if you look at how the human body was made,
Speaker 1: it's designed to thrive until twenty. So are we meant
Speaker 1: to go, you know, start falling apart at forty? Are
Speaker 1: we meant to go be depressed like this for the
Speaker 1: rest of our life? And the answer is no, So
Speaker 1: my heart, this is a large reason why I'm trying
Speaker 1: to reach as many women as possible, because I think
Speaker 1: about how many divorces happen. I think about how many
Speaker 1: relationships fall apart. People change jobs because their women are
Speaker 1: not in their best self, They're not in their best place. Um.
Speaker 1: So it impacts everything for women once they hit forty.
Speaker 1: You mentioned earlier there were five components of your life
Speaker 1: that you started to unwind. Can you talk of a
Speaker 1: little bit about what those five pieces were? Yeah, So
Speaker 1: the first one was, of course fasting. I went and
Speaker 1: started looking at hormones, and so I looked at what
Speaker 1: happens to estrogen um as we go into the perimenopausal years,
Speaker 1: and estrogen does this wild ride, like she goes up
Speaker 1: and down and up and down. And when estrogen goes low,
Speaker 1: we become insulin resistant, which means a k A. We
Speaker 1: start gaining weight, like we're eating the same foods, were
Speaker 1: exercising the same amount, and we're gaining weight. I started
Speaker 1: to look at what we're ways to help with insulin control,
Speaker 1: and that's when I stumbled upon intermittent fasting. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever told you this story, but
Speaker 1: you might find this funny now that you know me.
Speaker 1: The first time. The first time I found intermittent fasting,
Speaker 1: I literally had to study the science forever and I
Speaker 1: had to look at it. I'd wrapped my head around it,
Speaker 1: and then one day I decided, Okay, I could do
Speaker 1: this for a day. Let me try it for a day, right,
Speaker 1: And so I did, and I was like, look at me.
Speaker 1: I did thirteen hours for a day. And then I
Speaker 1: went back and looked at what everybody was doing and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, we do it every day. Shoot,
Speaker 1: we gotta do this every day. So um, but what
Speaker 1: I found with fasting that was my that was my principal.
Speaker 1: Number one was that three pm energy crash that I
Speaker 1: would have. And in my clinical practice, three pm was
Speaker 1: like when the families poured in. It was like the
Speaker 1: busiest time and I literally just wanted to go into
Speaker 1: my office and take a nap. And what I found
Speaker 1: was just after two weeks of intermittent fasting, my my
Speaker 1: three pm energy was incredible. The other piece that I
Speaker 1: found with fasting was memory and mental clarity. So my
Speaker 1: the joke and my family was that I would always
Speaker 1: stop in the middle of a conversation and my family
Speaker 1: would say, we're still listening, Like we're still listening, why
Speaker 1: are you not finishing this story? And it was because
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember what I was saying. And um, so
Speaker 1: intermitting the first one is inter fasting, and it was
Speaker 1: really it gave me my mental clarity back, and it
Speaker 1: gave me my energy back, and then of course from
Speaker 1: there I became a fasting fanatic at that point. So
Speaker 1: as you're learning, well, let's go down that road of
Speaker 1: fasting um for a moment. So why don't you explain
Speaker 1: so intermittent fasting. I've been intermittent fasting with you now
Speaker 1: for about three months. My husband did it for a
Speaker 1: while years ago, and I was like, this fasting thing.
Speaker 1: I love food too much. There's no way I could
Speaker 1: ever fast for twenty four hours like I could by
Speaker 1: the way which I did my first twenty four hour
Speaker 1: fast yesterday. But the way that you've taught me how
Speaker 1: to fast has been really amazing because I think there's
Speaker 1: so many misconceptions around fasting. I thought there was only
Speaker 1: one way to fast. You basically go without food for
Speaker 1: however many hours, and that's called fasting. There's so many
Speaker 1: more layers to that. There's different types of fast you
Speaker 1: can do. Like yesterday, I did fasting snacks which were
Speaker 1: actually really good. I had almond butter and bone broth
Speaker 1: to help repair my gut yesterday and I didn't feel
Speaker 1: I didn't feel hungry, which was amazing. So can you
Speaker 1: start to explain an unwind for us, like a bit
Speaker 1: of science behind fasting and why why it's so important
Speaker 1: for someone like me, someone who is heading into perminopause
Speaker 1: and menopause and and wanting to live their best life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a loaded question. Um, so I'll give the I'll
Speaker 1: try to give the concise answer, which which is if
Speaker 1: the best way to understand fasting is to go back
Speaker 1: and look at how the cave women cavemen did food
Speaker 1: and what we did, our cave people ancestors did. Oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta love that. I'm gonna start using that our
Speaker 1: cave friends. What our cave friends did is they would
Speaker 1: come out of the cave and they did never refrigerator,
Speaker 1: they didn't have a pantry, they didn't have door dash,
Speaker 1: and so what they would do is have to go hunt.
Speaker 1: And in order to survive, they had to tap into
Speaker 1: another energy source. And we call that energy source the
Speaker 1: keytogenic energy source. I like to lovingly call it the
Speaker 1: fat burning system. And when the when you go without food,
Speaker 1: these neural chemicals kick in that supercharge you. And it's
Speaker 1: all because we were made for survival. So they had
Speaker 1: to go hunt, they had to go find food and
Speaker 1: so as they tapped into this fat burning system, they
Speaker 1: made keytones. They got growth hormone, they got gabbo which
Speaker 1: calmed them, they got dopamine, like all the things, all
Speaker 1: the wonderful neurochemicals. They got all the good things so
Speaker 1: that they could go hunt and make a kill and
Speaker 1: then come back and then they would feast. This is
Speaker 1: how we're designed. Were genetically designed this way for feast, famine,
Speaker 1: cycling in and out of sugar burner, fat burner. But
Speaker 1: if you look at what we're doing every day, we
Speaker 1: eat all day long. I mean I was the breakfast
Speaker 1: is the most important meal of the day. I was
Speaker 1: the person that carried the snacks. This this is pretty
Speaker 1: funny because now if you if I go anywhere, I
Speaker 1: go without anything, I'm like, oh just fast, um. But
Speaker 1: I literally had like a bag of snacks with me everywhere.
Speaker 1: I'm not there yet. You're not there yet. Yeah, yes,
Speaker 1: I mean I think that that is It's amazing to
Speaker 1: hear because we're not taught that. We're not taught that
Speaker 1: this this is genetically what we're made for. We're taught
Speaker 1: to get the big mac with the biggest drink possible
Speaker 1: and to eat you know constantly. I don't even know
Speaker 1: if any of us know when we're hungry anymore, because
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? Because oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: noticed yesterday my twenty four fast. I noticed when my
Speaker 1: body was hungry, because I did get hungry at some point,
Speaker 1: and that's when I had my little bit of snacks
Speaker 1: here and there. But at around three thirty in the afternoon,
Speaker 1: I was having to make a really big decision, and
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, I wanted to reach for everything
Speaker 1: to put in my mouth, to eat, drink, whatever it was.
Speaker 1: I was like, I need something, and it was just
Speaker 1: interesting to see how emotionally driven I was for something
Speaker 1: to in jel best in order to soothe me. I
Speaker 1: know I could have gone and reached for arm and better,
Speaker 1: I could have reached for whatever it was at the time,
Speaker 1: and I stopped myself because I'm like, I'm not hungry.
Speaker 1: I finally started to see where my real cues of
Speaker 1: hunger were, which is huge because I think we all
Speaker 1: do it. We all emotionally eat, and we're it's all
Speaker 1: on the spectrum of some of us really lean into
Speaker 1: that to suite ourselves, and sometimes some of us do
Speaker 1: it in a way that it's not as obvious, and
Speaker 1: so yesterday it was for me. I was obvious that
Speaker 1: I was like, oh I need that to soothe. So
Speaker 1: fasting for me has been really interesting to learn my
Speaker 1: actual cues of hunger. All right, we're going to cut
Speaker 1: away for a quick breath, but we'll be right back
Speaker 1: with more. Dr Mendy. All right, everyone, Dr Mindy and
Speaker 1: I were just diving into the multifaceted topic of hunger
Speaker 1: and what it represents. Yeah, I say, it's a mirror.
Speaker 1: It helps you see what you need, what your relations right.
Speaker 1: And in many ways, I mean, you're a great example
Speaker 1: of when we fast you, we see a lot of
Speaker 1: things and that show up and that's for everybody. So
Speaker 1: our relationship with food, what we don't realize is that
Speaker 1: it's a state changer. It's a dopamine rush. And to
Speaker 1: your point of we don't we're out of touch with
Speaker 1: even when we're hungry or even what foods we should eat,
Speaker 1: Like we've completely lost touch with that. But this is
Speaker 1: where if you think about it, like think about what
Speaker 1: you were taught as a little kid, Like you get
Speaker 1: up and it's like okay, eat breakfast. You get home
Speaker 1: from school, Okay, eat, eat again, like your mom is
Speaker 1: constantly there with snacks, or you're constantly told when to eat.
Speaker 1: It's dinner time. If you don't eat dinner now, then
Speaker 1: you know there's no more dinner. So we get from
Speaker 1: an early age tuned out of our own innate sense
Speaker 1: of hunger. And you know, if there was one thing
Speaker 1: I could do for the young your generation, it would
Speaker 1: be to really help them see their intuitive sense of
Speaker 1: when they're hungry and when they're not, because that gets
Speaker 1: beaten out of us. Yeah, it does. It's amazing that
Speaker 1: you put it that way of beating out of us
Speaker 1: because literally, like that has been, yeah, the case for
Speaker 1: a lot of people. I remember when I've discovered fasting.
Speaker 1: One day, I was chasing my son out the door.
Speaker 1: He was in ninth grade, and I was like, your banana,
Speaker 1: you're yogurt, Like you can't leave without food. And then
Speaker 1: I came back inside and I'm like and he wouldn't
Speaker 1: take it. And I came back inside and I'm like,
Speaker 1: what what am I doing wrong? Like I went into
Speaker 1: I must be a bad parent because I can't get
Speaker 1: my ninth grader to eat breakfast. And so when he
Speaker 1: came home that night, I said, are you hungry, Like
Speaker 1: I feel like maybe you're not hungry in the morning.
Speaker 1: He said, no, I'm not. And I'm like, well, when
Speaker 1: do you get hungry? And he said ten o'clock. I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: how about we make sure you have good food at
Speaker 1: ten o'clock. And that's what we did, and then I
Speaker 1: it changed everything, and he was intermittent fasting without even
Speaker 1: knowing he was intermittent fastening. So the haf for me was, gosh,
Speaker 1: do we not know our own internal like sense of
Speaker 1: food and even what good food is? And how should
Speaker 1: we feel after a meal like we are because we're
Speaker 1: told three meals a day breakfast is the most portmeal
Speaker 1: a day, eat dinner or the kitchen's clothed like all
Speaker 1: those things seemed to permeate so many households. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 1: I was that way as a as a kid, like
Speaker 1: I didn't want to eat breakfast at all in the morning.
Speaker 1: In fact, I didn't eat, and I hated school lunch
Speaker 1: like I didn't like soggy sandwiches, and my mom packed
Speaker 1: like and so I actually I really fasted my whole
Speaker 1: childhood until like three o'clock world around, and then my
Speaker 1: my mom would go get me awful drive through um.
Speaker 1: Of course back then I didn't know it was like
Speaker 1: that was food. Um. So so much, so much has
Speaker 1: changed for me for my first time yesterday, I really
Speaker 1: got into quytosis and I got that kind of dope.
Speaker 1: I guess it would be dopamine, right that my I got,
Speaker 1: you got, you got, got all the good you got,
Speaker 1: all the good things I did. It was I'm like
Speaker 1: I was boxing vindy, going am I supposed to be
Speaker 1: high and giddy? Like? Is that what happens? And it's
Speaker 1: you know, the same things that we think that we're
Speaker 1: doing with food, like can really naturally occur in our
Speaker 1: body in the right state, which is fascinating to me.
Speaker 1: I think that has been the biggest piece for me
Speaker 1: to even wrap my head around after I've looked at
Speaker 1: so much science on fasting. Is that the leap we
Speaker 1: need to take first is to understand that food is medicine.
Speaker 1: And you hear a lot of people talking about that,
Speaker 1: and that's great and wonderful, But the second leap we
Speaker 1: need to take is fastings medicine too, and they're different medicines.
Speaker 1: So when you eat the right foods, you heal and
Speaker 1: when you fast, you know, depending on how long you fast,
Speaker 1: you're also going to get this neurochemical healing effect. And
Speaker 1: I think to your point a little while ago, when
Speaker 1: people first come to fasting, they get scared. It's scary,
Speaker 1: you know, it's scary to go without food. It's a
Speaker 1: primal feeling. And what I love about it, and this
Speaker 1: was my high yesterday watching you, was that you experienced
Speaker 1: your body in a new way. Yeah, and so all
Speaker 1: those chemicals, all those yummy feelings that you had, like
Speaker 1: you did that. And here's what's really cool. You did it.
Speaker 1: I didn't do it. I just I just gave you
Speaker 1: the information. Nobody can do it but you. So there
Speaker 1: becomes this awe of the body and the self pride.
Speaker 1: And I have taught fasting to so many people and
Speaker 1: now to so many women, and nothing brings me more
Speaker 1: joy than people discovering their own power. And we have
Speaker 1: in this country, in this world, we give our healing
Speaker 1: power away every flipping day. And that was a cool
Speaker 1: moment for me to watch you discover a whole another
Speaker 1: level of how cool that your body be and what
Speaker 1: it can create. And it is euphoric. So yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It's just crazy. So so with fasting there I mentioned earlier,
Speaker 1: there are different types of fast can you like touch
Speaker 1: upon those for a moment, because I think when people
Speaker 1: think of fasting, like we're saying, it's like you go
Speaker 1: without food and that's it. So people are curious if
Speaker 1: they're fasting, Curious, how would you describe fasts with all
Speaker 1: these different fasts, and what would you recommend for people
Speaker 1: to kind of like as their springboard to get curious
Speaker 1: about it and see see what we're talking about as
Speaker 1: concisely as I possibly can. Because this is like a
Speaker 1: whole dissertation on today. It's actually a whole book now
Speaker 1: m seventy eight thousand words worth, um, so just put
Speaker 1: it down at a couple of sevens. I don't think
Speaker 1: we have that kind of time. So here's the way
Speaker 1: to look at it is start by looking at your
Speaker 1: twenty four hour period and say, okay, there's a time
Speaker 1: in which I eat and there's a time in which
Speaker 1: I fast. I call them windows. So there's an eating
Speaker 1: window and there's a fasting window. So the first step
Speaker 1: is what we call intermittent fasting, which is thirteen to
Speaker 1: fifteen hours. This is the most famous. This is kind
Speaker 1: of the big, big studies that have been done on it.
Speaker 1: I mean there's so much research. In fact, if you're
Speaker 1: listening to this and you're like, I don't believe this,
Speaker 1: I mean, literally go to my YouTube channel. I put
Speaker 1: science after science after science in there. There's so much science.
Speaker 1: I can't even keep up with it. So, but what
Speaker 1: happens when you take your eating window and you compress it,
Speaker 1: leaving thirteen to fifteen hours of no food, your body heals.
Speaker 1: And the biggest thing it does at that point that
Speaker 1: I'm excited about is it changes every metabolic marker. It
Speaker 1: changes cholesterol, it changes glucose, insulin, hemoglobin A one C
Speaker 1: c RP. These are major cardiovascular challenges. This is diabetes,
Speaker 1: this is poor immunity. They say that like only twelve
Speaker 1: percent of Americans are metabolically health That's crazy, that's horrible,
Speaker 1: that's crazy. I remember hearing that for the first time
Speaker 1: and being completely blown away by that. I walked around
Speaker 1: for a whole day going wait, what, like, yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: and a lot of us look healthy too, Like we
Speaker 1: can look healthy right and not really be healthy. Like
Speaker 1: I remember putting my blood sugar monitor on for the
Speaker 1: first time. I've been wearing this on stage, people like,
Speaker 1: what do you have on your arm? Like, I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to trying to better my health. I love it.
Speaker 1: You know. Really getting a sense of like what foods
Speaker 1: spiked my blood sugar and seeing really really where I
Speaker 1: was was huge. It just gave me more knowledge of
Speaker 1: my body, which I think it's amazing. I think if
Speaker 1: you put a blood sugar reader on every single person,
Speaker 1: you would change that twelve percent number because you would
Speaker 1: see what food is doing to you. I first came
Speaker 1: across that steady twelve percent metabolically fit at the height
Speaker 1: of COVID, so it was like June of and then
Speaker 1: I dive into the connection between poor immunity and metabolic
Speaker 1: syndrome and poor metabolic health and talk about a mission
Speaker 1: that I literally like, this is when I started to
Speaker 1: like not shut down my practice, but I told everybody
Speaker 1: in my on my team, I'm like, I'm out, I'm
Speaker 1: going online to start to really educate people about metabolic
Speaker 1: health because this is what's going to support the immune system.
Speaker 1: And fasting is free and anybody can do it. So
Speaker 1: you can take the poorest of poor, and you can
Speaker 1: take the busy CEO guy and you can teach them
Speaker 1: how to fast and now you've changed that twelve percent
Speaker 1: and you've turned it in hopefully someday. When you say metabolically,
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? Typically, metabolic fitness is
Speaker 1: a couple of things, because to your point, you can't
Speaker 1: really look at a person and say, oh, you're metabolically fit.
Speaker 1: In fact, you would probably I could probably line up
Speaker 1: like five body builders and you would say, oh, they're
Speaker 1: all metabolically fit, but they're not. So. Metabolic fitness means
Speaker 1: you have to have a normal glucose level, which fasting
Speaker 1: is between seventy and ninety. You have to have normal
Speaker 1: insulin levels, normal hemoglobin A one C which is glucose
Speaker 1: and insulin over ninety days it should be under five um.
Speaker 1: You've got to keep your inflammation markers down. Blood pressure
Speaker 1: is a part of that, so blood pressure being down,
Speaker 1: Waste circumference is a part of that. B M I
Speaker 1: is a part of that, and fatty liver is another one,
Speaker 1: and all of those markers need to be normal. Like
Speaker 1: so think about this. Blood pressure needs to be normal
Speaker 1: without medication. So you've got to have a healthy liver,
Speaker 1: healthy healthy blood pressure, Your blood sugar needs to be balanced.
Speaker 1: And really I think the biggest indicators can you go
Speaker 1: without food? Because if you can't go without food and
Speaker 1: you're angry all the time, I'm your hypoglycemic. That's also
Speaker 1: an indication that you are metabolically unhealthy. M it's not
Speaker 1: just having hyplod sugars. Also, to be table blow sugar
Speaker 1: two is not meta metabolically healthy. Interesting and the ability,
Speaker 1: the ability go in and out of food is really key. Yeah. Absolutely,
Speaker 1: And you talk about switching from fat burner into sugar burner,
Speaker 1: which is really kind of also a key to metabolic health. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: so you know it's funny. I just want to just
Speaker 1: say that I was the person that if you didn't
Speaker 1: feed me, I was going to take you down to
Speaker 1: me too. I mean, like they it's a joke. Everybody
Speaker 1: around me who works with me is like, if you
Speaker 1: feed thee and shall be just fine, it's right. Yes,
Speaker 1: If not, we love is use right. And here's where
Speaker 1: you're going land. The next thing is to say, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be like, don't feed me, because when you feed me,
Speaker 1: I slow down. When I don't, when you don't feed me,
Speaker 1: I become euphoric and my mind gets really clear well,
Speaker 1: and I think it's it's both right, because yesterday as
Speaker 1: my with my fast, I felt really good and I
Speaker 1: also was kind of it was kind of alarming to
Speaker 1: me in a good way, but it was such a
Speaker 1: new experience for my body that I I'm like, I
Speaker 1: didn't know I could feel this euphoric and good and joyful.
Speaker 1: It almost flipped me into anxiety for a moment because
Speaker 1: I was like, what is this feeling? And then I
Speaker 1: kind of sink back into it and and I was like,
Speaker 1: this feels really good. And then as soon as I
Speaker 1: ate my first spite of food, I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I love food. So it's so it's both.
Speaker 1: It's like which is great. I think that that's super
Speaker 1: healthy for me, you know, and anybody who's fasting to
Speaker 1: be I don't want to. I don't want to ever
Speaker 1: not not love food, you know what I mean, Like
Speaker 1: that's in me, and I think I think I now
Speaker 1: have a really healthy relationship with food. And it's changed
Speaker 1: so much in the past three months from intermittent fasting,
Speaker 1: because I think a lot of the time food was
Speaker 1: driving my life and I mentally I thought I couldn't
Speaker 1: be without food, and so to get to know my
Speaker 1: body in that way to know what it can do
Speaker 1: without food and what it does with food has been
Speaker 1: and with the right foods, It's not like I'm just
Speaker 1: breaking my fast and eating crab. You know, I'm filling
Speaker 1: myself and I've learned to fill myself up in the
Speaker 1: healthiest ways. And so I feel like my whole relationship
Speaker 1: around food has changed. And the way I know when
Speaker 1: you know, when I first started working with you, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm counting calories like I'm sure tons of women do,
Speaker 1: and You're like, oh, we'll get you off from counting calories.
Speaker 1: I mean, I still I still watched my calories, but
Speaker 1: and at the same time, I'm much more I'm much
Speaker 1: less stressed about food because I know I'm looking at
Speaker 1: food as medicine and what's good for me. And at
Speaker 1: the same time, I've I looked at food for enjoyment,
Speaker 1: but I still am enjoying. I'm enjoying taking care of myself.
Speaker 1: I think that's what shifted for me, is that that
Speaker 1: feels like joy to me now is like really taking
Speaker 1: care of my body. And I think that's also taken
Speaker 1: a lot of reprogramming mentally to recognize that I am
Speaker 1: worth taking care of. I think you need a mic
Speaker 1: drop on that one. Yeah, I'm out. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: even know what to say to that. Um. That was brilliant.
Speaker 1: And I think fasting is a gift you give your body,
Speaker 1: and if you can look at at it as not
Speaker 1: something you're taking away, you're adding in your giving your
Speaker 1: body this gift of repair. You're giving your body a
Speaker 1: gift of neurochemicals that you have never experienced before, and
Speaker 1: you don't have to pay a dime for. You're giving
Speaker 1: your body a healing opportunity. And when you do that,
Speaker 1: you really thrive. And the thing that I think for women,
Speaker 1: especially that we I just we I really want us
Speaker 1: to get a hold of this is that our health
Speaker 1: doesn't just affect us. It affects everybody around us. So
Speaker 1: when we're doing everything for everybody else, when we're putting
Speaker 1: everything ahead of our health and then our health crashes,
Speaker 1: nobody wins in that. But when you put your health
Speaker 1: first and you learn to fast, and you learn to
Speaker 1: eat right, and you make your health a priority, you
Speaker 1: become a happier person. You become a more solid, mentally
Speaker 1: clear person who now is a better mother, a better friend,
Speaker 1: a better wife, you're better at your job. It is
Speaker 1: the biggest gift that I know we can give ourselves
Speaker 1: and the people we love well. And it also trickles down.
Speaker 1: I've watched my husband, you know, like he's watched me,
Speaker 1: and now he's he's wanting to jump jump on board.
Speaker 1: He's like he's wanting to do all the things now
Speaker 1: because he's seeing I mean, such a change in me
Speaker 1: in my mood, in just the way that I'm connecting
Speaker 1: with life in a different way now, um in my body.
Speaker 1: And I think when we start to take care of ourselves,
Speaker 1: but we don't realize is if they so choose, you know,
Speaker 1: to want to be on that journey with us, we're
Speaker 1: influencing the people around us. And so for me, it's
Speaker 1: I've been setting an example almost in my in my
Speaker 1: own home for like what my bench market health is.
Speaker 1: And I think the people around me have been going, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, what are you doing you because they're I'm
Speaker 1: really changing and like the best of ways, and I
Speaker 1: want to be as I head into forty, like I
Speaker 1: look forward to this new decade as being the most
Speaker 1: vibrant that I've ever been. And you will be, I
Speaker 1: absolutely agree. I mean, you and I have talked about this.
Speaker 1: I love decade turns, and when you turn into a
Speaker 1: new decade, you get the opportunity to do things different. Uh,
Speaker 1: there's something about a clean start with a new decade.
Speaker 1: But yeah, by the time you're forty, we've got a
Speaker 1: few months ago. I can't even imagine where you'll be at.
Speaker 1: But but to your point, you know, one of the
Speaker 1: things that I hear a lot of women say is, well,
Speaker 1: how do I get my husband to do this? How
Speaker 1: do I get my kids to do this? And I
Speaker 1: just say, be the change. The Gandhi quote is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite ones. Be the change you want to see?
Speaker 1: You just be it and they will follow because you
Speaker 1: become so in love with the body you're living in
Speaker 1: that it becomes contagious. Yeah, and that's really the goal
Speaker 1: of health for people. Yeah, absolutely, that's so huge. I've
Speaker 1: seen you say that before, and I've really taken that
Speaker 1: in of The goal is to love our bodies. And
Speaker 1: I think for me, I've done a lot of mental
Speaker 1: work around that, but not until I actually started to
Speaker 1: embody the ways in which I take care of myself,
Speaker 1: which fasting is one of them. To really tune into
Speaker 1: what I'm ingesting. You always talk about interference in health,
Speaker 1: removing the interference, which I think is huge, and I
Speaker 1: look at so many interferences in our lives. I mean
Speaker 1: from heavy metals too. I mean, I know that that's
Speaker 1: a big part of my journey is, you know, removing
Speaker 1: heavy metals from my body. And gosh, I look at
Speaker 1: my depression and anxiety, which I know has yes system
Speaker 1: from many many things. Um, but I've I've worked so
Speaker 1: much on it, and here I am still left with,
Speaker 1: you know, this anxiety on a daily basis. I've learned
Speaker 1: to work with it, I've accepted it. But I know
Speaker 1: when I say that, you're like, no, this is not
Speaker 1: going to be a daily occurrence for you now. And
Speaker 1: which was crazy because I didn't think about heavy metals
Speaker 1: in the body, like I didn't think about that being
Speaker 1: a piece. I haven't completely had the whole of me
Speaker 1: in the picture yet until I started really going down
Speaker 1: this path of how do I clear the interference in
Speaker 1: the body so that maybe these everyday not sleeping anxiety, depression,
Speaker 1: like whatever it may be that I'm sure a lot
Speaker 1: of people are feeling, those things don't have to be
Speaker 1: in everyday occurrence, but we've we've kind of accepted them
Speaker 1: as they're just part of being human, which is sad,
Speaker 1: but they don't have to be and we will discuss why.
Speaker 1: Right after this quick break Welcome back, my friends, we
Speaker 1: were just talking with Dr Mendi Peltz about why so
Speaker 1: many of us have accepted illness as our inevitable state.
Speaker 1: It's super sad that it's something I often say is
Speaker 1: just because it's common, it doesn't mean that it's normal.
Speaker 1: And I think we have really accepted poor health as
Speaker 1: being normal. And with the heavy metal one, and that's
Speaker 1: definitely one of the five is that And this was
Speaker 1: a big one for me. This removing heavy metals gave
Speaker 1: me my sleep back. Removing heavy metals gave me my
Speaker 1: brain back. The depression and anxiety went away, all of
Speaker 1: suicidal thoughts like all that went away when I removed
Speaker 1: heavy metals. And we are living in the most toxic
Speaker 1: time in human history, and it's not getting any better,
Speaker 1: it's getting more toxic. And so what I often say
Speaker 1: is we have to have strategies for detox like now
Speaker 1: every human on the planet, and if we don't, then
Speaker 1: our moods will suffer, our sleep will suffer, our relationships
Speaker 1: will suffer. So the interference is such a great concept
Speaker 1: because I feel like my message and I think this
Speaker 1: is what you're really starting to understand, is that we're perfect,
Speaker 1: Like we're just amazing this body we've been given, it's
Speaker 1: just amazing. And if you do not feel like it's amazing,
Speaker 1: it's because something's interfering with its power. And it could
Speaker 1: be a physical interference, like you're sitting too much, or
Speaker 1: maybe you have an injury, or it could be a
Speaker 1: chemical interference like a toxin like heavy metals or you know.
Speaker 1: And I've chatted about WiFi, and I mean all the
Speaker 1: things it could be. I mean, there's so many. It's
Speaker 1: a depressing topic of what chemically is interfering with us um.
Speaker 1: And then there is the emotional interferences, the traumas that
Speaker 1: show up and when the symptoms appear. It's easy for
Speaker 1: us to say, well, I was in a car accident,
Speaker 1: or um, I used to eat really bad and now
Speaker 1: I'm eating good um, or I sit all day at work,
Speaker 1: and we can blame the outside, but what that doesn't
Speaker 1: really get us very far. I think the better discussion
Speaker 1: is to say, I live in this perfect body. Its
Speaker 1: ability to heal is profound. So why do I not
Speaker 1: love living in it? What is interfering with my joy,
Speaker 1: my perfection, my energy? What's interfering with it? And that's
Speaker 1: a personal journey. As you're experiencing, everybody's got to find
Speaker 1: their interference is going to be a whole lot different.
Speaker 1: So and that's the hard part. That's where I wish
Speaker 1: I had a cookie cutter approach. But I do believe
Speaker 1: that the way healthcare is going is a lot more customized,
Speaker 1: a lot more personalized to each individual. There is no
Speaker 1: longer a one size fits all because everybody's interference is different.
Speaker 1: It really is about educating ourselves and it is a journey,
Speaker 1: and I wish it wasn't, Like I wish we could
Speaker 1: just like I think that's why everybody wants to pop
Speaker 1: a pill, right because it's no one wants to it's
Speaker 1: easier and it's way easier. And I, you know, and
Speaker 1: I totally get it, Like I don't. I don't want
Speaker 1: to spend it. I don't want to spend a gazillion
Speaker 1: hours like I have been like tossing out beauty products
Speaker 1: and tossing out like cleaning products and like literally, I've
Speaker 1: you know, I've gone through and made lists of everything
Speaker 1: that's in our house and I'm like constantly tossing plastic
Speaker 1: and all the things. And it's it takes a lot
Speaker 1: of time and in work, and I wish it was easier,
Speaker 1: but it's not. And it's I think that's where it
Speaker 1: comes to. You're saying, you know, love loving the body
Speaker 1: that we're in, Like, we have to start with I
Speaker 1: am worth doing this for. I am that my family
Speaker 1: is worth it. And I think that's where it begins,
Speaker 1: is with that belief of like, and unless we believe that, like,
Speaker 1: we're not going to put the time into taking care
Speaker 1: of ourselves. Bingo, yeah, another mic drop for you. Um yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the worth has to be you have to
Speaker 1: love yourself enough, and you have to also say that
Speaker 1: you want to get up in the morning and enjoy
Speaker 1: this body suit that you get to carry around all day. Like.
Speaker 1: The goal isn't the thing on the scale. The goal
Speaker 1: isn't even the blood test, you know it. The goal
Speaker 1: isn't your doctor saying your normal, or or a friend
Speaker 1: complimenting you on how great you look, although all those
Speaker 1: things are great. The goal is do you wake up
Speaker 1: and love this body. Does it feel good to move
Speaker 1: around the world in it? Does? Do you love the brain?
Speaker 1: Do you love the way that your brain is thinking?
Speaker 1: Because if the answer is no to either of those,
Speaker 1: and you can change that. But the problem is it's
Speaker 1: only you, only you can change it. And that's what's
Speaker 1: really hard, because it's the mirror effect again, where we
Speaker 1: we look and we have to look at ourselves in
Speaker 1: the mirror and say, okay, am I going to take
Speaker 1: the steps to change it? And that's really what we need.
Speaker 1: It's a personal decision and it's a personal journey. But
Speaker 1: once you make it, as you're experiencing it, you can
Speaker 1: be I mean at fifty two and literally some days,
Speaker 1: like my daughter's twenty two. She'll turn twenty two next week,
Speaker 1: which is crazy. I don't even I don't know how
Speaker 1: I have a twenty two year old daughter and um
Speaker 1: I'm I told her, I'm like, I feel stuck at
Speaker 1: twenty five. So pretty soon you and I are going
Speaker 1: to be the same age. It is with the wisdom
Speaker 1: of a fifty two year old. So but but I
Speaker 1: didn't I wouldn't have said that at forty two. So
Speaker 1: it's it's the work that I had to do to
Speaker 1: kind of make a commitment to my off to love
Speaker 1: my body so much that I was willing to do
Speaker 1: whatever it took to take great care of this vessel
Speaker 1: I get to walk around in. So you've mentioned fast thing,
Speaker 1: you've mentioned heavy metals. What are I want to touch upon?
Speaker 1: What the other three pieces are that you started to unwind?
Speaker 1: The second one was food, So we can talk about food.
Speaker 1: And the simplest change to ask yourself is are you
Speaker 1: eating nature's food or are you eating man's food? Because
Speaker 1: it's the processed food that is killing us. So the
Speaker 1: second thing is I had to ask myself that, like,
Speaker 1: am I only eating nature's food? Now? The answer for
Speaker 1: me at that time was yes, I had a really
Speaker 1: clean diet, but I hadn't really experimented with the keytogenic diet.
Speaker 1: I didn't really know what it meant to feed my
Speaker 1: hormones and how to eat for my cycle. And so
Speaker 1: I had to dive in and look at and and
Speaker 1: you and I have talked about this that how to
Speaker 1: eat for different hormones. So, like estrogen does really well
Speaker 1: with the ketogenic diet, So low carb estrogen is like,
Speaker 1: thank you, I'm gonna now come in really strong, and
Speaker 1: testosterone actually does really well when you feed, and estrogen
Speaker 1: as well. When you feed your microbiome and you eat
Speaker 1: a lot of leafy green vegetables and a lot of
Speaker 1: um what I call the three ps polyphenol, probiotic, prebiotic foods,
Speaker 1: a lot of fermented foods, you actually fuel your guts
Speaker 1: so estrogen and testosterone can can break down. And then progesterone.
Speaker 1: This one tripped me out because progesterone actually wants you
Speaker 1: to bring glucose up. So you want to actually not
Speaker 1: do keto, and you want to eat more root vegetables
Speaker 1: and potatoes and beans and kein uan rice is those
Speaker 1: are going to fuel progesterone. So the second one is
Speaker 1: really learning how to eat for your hormones. And that's
Speaker 1: what I talked about in the Menopause Reset. The new
Speaker 1: book has a ton of that in there. The thing
Speaker 1: on this that blew me away, And tell me if
Speaker 1: you if you felt this as well as you learned it.
Speaker 1: It was like I never realized in a thirty day
Speaker 1: period that I was supposed to eat different. Every diet
Speaker 1: I had ever been on just said go on this
Speaker 1: diet and be there forever yeah. Absolutely. It's been the
Speaker 1: coolest thing for me to learn to eat for my
Speaker 1: cycle because I actually enjoy eating now, Like I enjoy
Speaker 1: cutting back when carbs at the beginning of my cycle,
Speaker 1: and then I enjoy putting carbs back in, and then
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think twice about eating carbs when
Speaker 1: I when I know my body is using them to
Speaker 1: to make the hormones that I need at the time.
Speaker 1: And so that just gives me. I'm like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: feeding my body what it needs. I need. I can
Speaker 1: eat the carbs, I can need all the carbs, nature's
Speaker 1: carbs of course, not like crap carbs, you know. And
Speaker 1: then when I go back to eating and that how
Speaker 1: my fill of carbs, and then I know, okay, so
Speaker 1: here's here's the beginning of my cycle. I'm ready. My
Speaker 1: body is going to make estrogen. So now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: feed it all the fats and like the protein that
Speaker 1: it needs, and then in the middle of my cycle
Speaker 1: adding ton of greens and like there's there's a specific
Speaker 1: way I'm utilizing food that I know is fuel and
Speaker 1: I know I've educated myself on what it's fueling. And
Speaker 1: so for me, that's just like I love that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff because it's like, oh, now I feel now,
Speaker 1: I really feel in It's not even in control at all.
Speaker 1: It's more of just I feel knowledgeable and I feel
Speaker 1: like I'm doing something good for myself and that feels good.
Speaker 1: Like that feels nurturing. I know. We that's big. I've
Speaker 1: been a big word that I've been using for for
Speaker 1: me that I I think when I first heard the
Speaker 1: word nurturing, I'm like, whatever, nurturing, And now I'm like, oh, nurturing.
Speaker 1: It feels good. It's like when I've heard the word rest,
Speaker 1: which I want to dive into really good because I
Speaker 1: know rest. This is a huge one for all of
Speaker 1: the type of personalities listening. Um Mendy and I we
Speaker 1: we are the same, um and yeah. And to you know,
Speaker 1: I'm constantly going, constantly doing and recently I was sick
Speaker 1: with COVID and I don't think until recently I actually surrendered.
Speaker 1: I think illness for me was a huge lesson. I
Speaker 1: am in gratitude for it because it was the first
Speaker 1: time I surrendered to I can't push through this, like
Speaker 1: I feel like absolute shit, like so bad, and I
Speaker 1: have no energy and my whole life I've spent overwriting
Speaker 1: having no energy because I had to just get up
Speaker 1: and work, and as do so many other women, it's
Speaker 1: like I have to take care of kids, I have
Speaker 1: to have a job, I have to create the thing
Speaker 1: that I'm wanting to bring into the world. Whatever it is,
Speaker 1: we push past it. And this was the first time
Speaker 1: I understood what rest was. And I actually found myself
Speaker 1: the other day going, I like resting, and which is
Speaker 1: really I know? I actually said, I like resting. I
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna start taking little snippets of your I do.
Speaker 1: I I enjoyed resting for the first time, and I
Speaker 1: think it was because I will two things you've taught me,
Speaker 1: and I think this is huge. It's a reframe for
Speaker 1: a rest and you've taught me what the body does
Speaker 1: in rest, like why I need it. And so once
Speaker 1: again that education for me was such a huge reframe
Speaker 1: because now my productivity brain can be like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: actually doing a lot as I'm resting, As I'm sitting
Speaker 1: here on the couch with my blanket with my candles lit,
Speaker 1: my body is doing so much. And I think for
Speaker 1: for me that was a huge reset in mentally around
Speaker 1: rest and gave me an opportunity to to enjoy it
Speaker 1: for the first time. Oh my gosh, another mic drop
Speaker 1: for you, leanne Um. That's amazing. And I would agree.
Speaker 1: And you know, as you and I have talked to,
Speaker 1: I know the rushing woman personality. And it's hard to
Speaker 1: surrender when you know it means not doing things and
Speaker 1: you're a doer. And I do believe that our neurology
Speaker 1: gets so accustomed to go, go, go, go go, and
Speaker 1: when you sit on the couch, the brain says, wait,
Speaker 1: why are we here, what are we doing. We're supposed
Speaker 1: to go, We're supposed to do, and it's a really
Speaker 1: hard thing to unwind, and so many women have it.
Speaker 1: I think I told you this story, but I remember,
Speaker 1: at the peak of like my menopause symptoms, I have
Speaker 1: a Rosie the Riveter sign in my kitchen and I
Speaker 1: was always so proud of Rosie. I was like, yeah, like,
Speaker 1: I'm like Rosie, I can do it all. And one day,
Speaker 1: in my darkest menopausele moment, I walked past Rosie and
Speaker 1: I looked at her and I was like, man, Rosie, like,
Speaker 1: I think you got it wrong. I think you got
Speaker 1: it wrong. I don't think we're supposed to do it all.
Speaker 1: And about that time, a friend amy the book Rushing
Speaker 1: Woman Syndrome by Libby Weaver, which everybody should go read.
Speaker 1: And it was a biochemistry of how a woman's body
Speaker 1: is not designed to rush all the time. So it
Speaker 1: spoke my language. It was like I could I could
Speaker 1: see it. And when I read the book, I literally wept.
Speaker 1: I understood myself for the first time, like, wow, okay,
Speaker 1: so I can't use rushing as my badge of honor anymore.
Speaker 1: It's actually not serving me. In fact, it's making me sicker,
Speaker 1: it's making me less productive. I gotta change it. But
Speaker 1: as you're experiencing, that's a hard one to unwind. It
Speaker 1: is a hard one to unwind. And I was I
Speaker 1: was just thinking as you're saying that, like we're going
Speaker 1: into a forties, we're going into perimenopause, menopause, and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: now I'm thinking I'm not going to be able to produce,
Speaker 1: and then you're telling me to slow down, and it
Speaker 1: feels like, oh, she's right, Like it all of a
Speaker 1: sudden feeds into all of those old stories of I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be myself anymore. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: be good and if I'm not gonna be able to
Speaker 1: do enough, and unwinding those stories, I feel the anxiety
Speaker 1: come up in me as we talk about it. Talking
Speaker 1: about it, yeah, just talking about it. Unwinding those stories
Speaker 1: are a super important part of I think, how we
Speaker 1: are able to to head into this stage of our
Speaker 1: life as we shift sanely I meane you sanely yeah,
Speaker 1: and and joyfully. And you know, I would like to
Speaker 1: think that there is a way too joyfully be in menopause. Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: I feel like, yes, I'd like to think that there is. Yes.
Speaker 1: The rest is one of those pieces that we have
Speaker 1: to start to look at, like are we are we
Speaker 1: really giving ourselves rest? One of the things that you've
Speaker 1: taught me to. I just want to touch on rest
Speaker 1: because I think it's a it's thing is such a
Speaker 1: huge piece, and it's a huge piece that I'm just discovering.
Speaker 1: You were saying the other day that you don't have
Speaker 1: to be sitting on the couch to be resting. You know,
Speaker 1: you talk about switching with fasting, our body is supposed
Speaker 1: to switch from fat burners sugar burner, and then the
Speaker 1: same thing with when we're resting, and you know, we're
Speaker 1: shifting from sympathetic when we're when we're doing and to
Speaker 1: parasympathetic when we're resting. And when I think of rest,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people do think of like
Speaker 1: we have to sit on the couch and do nothing,
Speaker 1: watching Netflix or whatever we're gonna do. It just has
Speaker 1: to be horizontal. Um, And so you're like, no, no,
Speaker 1: rest can be anything that just doesn't put you in
Speaker 1: the in the sympathetic state. So you can You were
Speaker 1: saying you love to bake, which I was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I like to do that too. I like to go
Speaker 1: for a walk. I like to as you said, like
Speaker 1: to forward move. And I just that hit me too.
Speaker 1: Of oh, so we can still do we just can't
Speaker 1: do do right. For me when I think of that,
Speaker 1: it's about we can do the things that bring us joy.
Speaker 1: To me, that's what I hear, is like, Oh, what
Speaker 1: brings me joy? What allows me to get into this
Speaker 1: kind of flow like creating candles for me? Is I
Speaker 1: get into like this really parasympathetic state and so relaxed
Speaker 1: because it's just kind of this I guess monotonous isn't
Speaker 1: the right word in a good way experience that I have,
Speaker 1: And so that was so cool to hear for someone
Speaker 1: and anybody out there who's like, oh I can't stop doing,
Speaker 1: you just don't have to. You can still do. It's
Speaker 1: just a different kind of viewing. Yeah, you know, have
Speaker 1: you ever seen I actually almost said this to you today.
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen the meme where the woman's like
Speaker 1: lying down and and it says, um uh, they told
Speaker 1: me to use lavender to calm myself down. She's got
Speaker 1: like lavender like all over her body. Have you seen that? No?
Speaker 1: I haven't. Okay, I'm gonna send it to you, because
Speaker 1: every time I see it, I'm like, that was me.
Speaker 1: I was like all my friends. You know, many of
Speaker 1: my friends were like, mindy, you're doing way too much.
Speaker 1: And yes, I do way too much. There. I still
Speaker 1: do way too my but but I've learned to practice
Speaker 1: parasympathetic like you and I've been talking about. But the
Speaker 1: first time somebody said to me self care, I literally
Speaker 1: didn't know what that looked like. I was like, I
Speaker 1: don't know what self care looks like. So I would
Speaker 1: sit on the couch and try to read a book.
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, this sucks. I'm just sitting here, and
Speaker 1: then I would sit and binge watch a you know,
Speaker 1: eight hours on a Netflix series, and then I'd get
Speaker 1: up and I'd be like, I don't think I feel
Speaker 1: any better. I mean it was interesting, but I don't
Speaker 1: think I feel any better. So when I read read
Speaker 1: defined it the way you just said it, which is
Speaker 1: what brings me joy, what is gonna put me in
Speaker 1: that gamma state of my brain where I am just
Speaker 1: loving the moment that helped me see that parasympathetic could
Speaker 1: just be things you enjoy. And on the baking thing,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I actually said this to
Speaker 1: you yesterday. But I just love baking. But I don't
Speaker 1: always love eating it. So sometimes sometimes I do. But
Speaker 1: during the pandemic, my son, he was a senior in
Speaker 1: high school at the time, and I would I would say,
Speaker 1: what do you want me to make on Sunday? And
Speaker 1: I would just make whatever you want to make. It
Speaker 1: would take me like two three hours. I loved it.
Speaker 1: It was like I felt like my mom a heart
Speaker 1: was full and then it would be done and I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, I don't know if I want to
Speaker 1: eat it, but it was sure made it. I love it.
Speaker 1: I'm the one that like licks the bowl of everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah so good, so not so okay. So we touched
Speaker 1: upon the rushing woman. The rest we've touched upon heavy metals,
Speaker 1: touched upon food, touch upon fasting. What's the fifth one
Speaker 1: that you unwound? The fifth one is your microbiome gut health.
Speaker 1: This was the one that took me a while to
Speaker 1: try to kind of figure out. And here's why so
Speaker 1: many of us have been on rounds and rounds and
Speaker 1: rounds of antibiotics, so many women have been on decades
Speaker 1: of birth control, and our gut bacteria is really in
Speaker 1: bad shape. And these back tier you, these microbes in
Speaker 1: our gut, they do so much for us. The biggest
Speaker 1: thing they do is break estrogen down. We literally have
Speaker 1: a set of bacteria. They call it the way I
Speaker 1: pronounced it is estro bolom and it is a set
Speaker 1: of bacteria in our gut that breaks estrogen down. And
Speaker 1: if you don't have that bacteria, estrogen won't get broken down.
Speaker 1: It will get stored in your tissues. And typically where
Speaker 1: it gets stored first is in our breasts, and then
Speaker 1: it'll get stored in fact. So what I started to
Speaker 1: see is that if we were not being very intentional
Speaker 1: about our gut health. You were going to gain more weight.
Speaker 1: A lot of women have breast tenderness around their cycle.
Speaker 1: Breast cancer is a piece of this. This This was
Speaker 1: actually why I even took the time to write The
Speaker 1: Menopause Reset, because I realized that of breast cancers happened
Speaker 1: after menopause, and I started to think, oh, well, maybe
Speaker 1: that's because they haven't we haven't been breaking estro and down.
Speaker 1: But your gut microbiome also makes gabba, It makes serotonin,
Speaker 1: it makes dopamine, it makes all the amazing arrow transmitters.
Speaker 1: And if you're not feeding these microbes in your gut,
Speaker 1: then they die. And if you've been on antibiotics and
Speaker 1: birth control, they've been already been killed and there is
Speaker 1: an opportunity for you to regrow them. So the fifth
Speaker 1: one is really leaning into the things that that really
Speaker 1: regrow your microbiome. And there's lots of them. I mean,
Speaker 1: you and you and I've been talking a lot about
Speaker 1: bone broth and how powerful bone broth is, especially to
Speaker 1: break a fast, because it it will repair the inner
Speaker 1: lining of the gut. I didn't love Saara Kraut when
Speaker 1: I first learned this fifth tip. But I've forced myself
Speaker 1: to love Saara kraut. I do a lot of fermented yogurts,
Speaker 1: but it's also the nuts, the seeds, olives, and even
Speaker 1: things like dark chocolate, red wine. Every woman loves hearing that.
Speaker 1: Oh and that too. Yes, but you have to be
Speaker 1: careful with wine. I just want, like just to touch
Speaker 1: upon that. Is it dry farms wine that we live
Speaker 1: so it's called yeah, and just help me a lot
Speaker 1: about wine because there's so many chemicals that can be
Speaker 1: sprayed upon wine and even if it says organic, it
Speaker 1: could not be chemical free. So yes, yes, I highly
Speaker 1: recommend that everybody go dive into the world of wine
Speaker 1: and understanding that piece of it. Um, if you like wine,
Speaker 1: because I do and you do it, and I didn't
Speaker 1: want to get mine up completely, so I knew, you know,
Speaker 1: to educate myself on all of these things. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: to know what you're putting in your body is super important.
Speaker 1: But yes, dark chocolate, yes, absolutely, and we are absolutely
Speaker 1: going to be right back with Dr Minnie Pells after
Speaker 1: this quick break. Welcome back, my friends. Dr Mindy was
Speaker 1: enlightening us on the powers a dark chocolate. No like
Speaker 1: dark chocolate. I I probably have a little like thing
Speaker 1: of dark chocolate every day, if not every other day.
Speaker 1: It's good quality. It's like dark chocolate with um. The
Speaker 1: one I'm into right now is Hugh do you have those? Yeah?
Speaker 1: And the little gems. Have you tried the gems? They're
Speaker 1: they're too easy to pop in your mouth, but they're
Speaker 1: really good. And so after dinner I'll pop a couple
Speaker 1: of my mouth. When I was writing the book, oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, those little gems set right next to me.
Speaker 1: I've practiced breaking a fast with them, and they're really
Speaker 1: It's dark chocolate is health food, and it's the darker
Speaker 1: chocolate with like the healthy sugars um. And so that's
Speaker 1: a gut repair, believe it or not. And wine, if
Speaker 1: you drink biodynamic natural wine. Not we're not talking like
Speaker 1: a bottle every day, but we are saying that a
Speaker 1: glass here and there of a chemical free wine could
Speaker 1: actually be a positive benefit on this gut microbiome it has.
Speaker 1: The dry farm only gets wine that has natural yeasts
Speaker 1: in it. It's a fermentation process onto itself, and they've
Speaker 1: tested it all for chemicals. It's the chemicals that make
Speaker 1: you feel hungover. It's the chemicals that make you sick.
Speaker 1: So you know a little bit of dry farm wines
Speaker 1: can go a long way and it brings down your
Speaker 1: cortisol levels. I've actually have you tested it on your
Speaker 1: glucose monitor? Yeah? My, Um, if I have a glass
Speaker 1: of wine, my glucost Well there wine, my glucost goes down.
Speaker 1: Does other wine? Does it go up? I've seen it
Speaker 1: go up on not so much. Um, it'll it'll go up.
Speaker 1: It will go down. Yeah it won't. It won't like skyrocket, um,
Speaker 1: but it won't go down. I find that when I
Speaker 1: have a glass of of chemical free drywarms wine, it
Speaker 1: goes down, which is crazy. Yeah. So so my feeling
Speaker 1: is like, well if it goes down, that relaxes me.
Speaker 1: That would be good for progesterone. That's gonna let progesterone
Speaker 1: come in. And because you need to be more relaxed
Speaker 1: and cords all down to make progesterone. So yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know you can tell now once you get really
Speaker 1: clued into good wine. When when I was in Cancoon recently, um,
Speaker 1: there was a bunch of wine out one night and
Speaker 1: I was with a bunch of my friends who all
Speaker 1: drink natural wine, so of course I'm just drinking it
Speaker 1: like like it's natural wine. And I woke up the
Speaker 1: next day with a hangover and I was like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, I've not had a hangar forever. And the
Speaker 1: first thing I was like was like, who who bought
Speaker 1: the wine? They bought the wrong wine. So totally it
Speaker 1: is hangover free wine. That's funny. I've actually found um
Speaker 1: actually travel when if I go out on the road,
Speaker 1: I'll take a bottle of wine with me, and like
Speaker 1: if I'm only going for a few days, like I'll
Speaker 1: you know, stretch it out for a few days. If
Speaker 1: I want a couple of glasses of wine and I
Speaker 1: traveled with wine, I'll travel. I found meganic tequila. I
Speaker 1: will go out and just drink anything anymore. Like I'm
Speaker 1: very busy as it's like what are you doing? I
Speaker 1: have a whole suitcase now of like of bio hacking
Speaker 1: and wine and things and food and yeah, it's I
Speaker 1: love it's a bit insane, but you know, I don't
Speaker 1: do anything half asked, so let's just put it that way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's what I love about you. It's you're all in.
Speaker 1: You're all in, and you'll do all the things, and
Speaker 1: you know, honestly, that's why you're getting well so quickly.
Speaker 1: You know, I think that what I've seen with a
Speaker 1: lot of people, especially you hear a conversation like this,
Speaker 1: and you're like, oh, I want to get well. I
Speaker 1: want to feel like that. Um. But then you dip
Speaker 1: your toe in. You're like, Okay, I'll try I'll try
Speaker 1: the intermittent fasting, but I'm not going to do the detox.
Speaker 1: Or I'll try bringing carbs down, but you know I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna do nature's carbs. I love my crackers. So
Speaker 1: whatever it is, we tend to dip our toe in.
Speaker 1: And depending on where you are on your health journey,
Speaker 1: if you are really in a place where you're like
Speaker 1: I have to make a difference and change my health,
Speaker 1: that is not a moment to dip your toe That
Speaker 1: is a moment to go all in and do everything
Speaker 1: you know how to do to be able to heal.
Speaker 1: And then once you do that and you'll see this,
Speaker 1: that then you have this strong foundation of health and
Speaker 1: you can veer off and go on vacation. You know,
Speaker 1: you might not have to bring your wine, you might
Speaker 1: shorten up your your your suitcase a little bit and yeah,
Speaker 1: and you you can go eat you know, bread and
Speaker 1: pasta in Italy and come back and you will feel fine.
Speaker 1: And this is what we see in my online community.
Speaker 1: I love January so much because people, well when people
Speaker 1: were traveling, people would come after Christmas vacation and we
Speaker 1: get all these messages of like, I eat whatever I
Speaker 1: wanted and I felt great and I didn't gain a pound. Well,
Speaker 1: those are the people that did the work. They got it,
Speaker 1: they got their body back into balance. But one thing
Speaker 1: we've been taught in healthcare is that, Okay, here's one problem,
Speaker 1: here's the die ignosis, here's the one solution. And what
Speaker 1: you're learning is that there's no one solution. There's a
Speaker 1: puzzle that needs to be put together for everybody. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it's thank you for teaching me how to put
Speaker 1: that puzzle together. And everybody please go look up Dr Mindy.
Speaker 1: Go get her book, The Menopause Reset. She has another
Speaker 1: book coming out. When is that coming out? Yeah? December?
Speaker 1: I know, fast like a girl and um yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it in so many different ways. But
Speaker 1: um one of the ways was that when we actually
Speaker 1: put the book proposal together, my idea was to teach
Speaker 1: women how to fast and to eat for her menstrual cycle.
Speaker 1: I wanted to show six different levels of fasting and
Speaker 1: I just really feel like this will absolutely change women's health.
Speaker 1: So when we rolled it out to all the publishers,
Speaker 1: um Hey House came back and basically said, we hear
Speaker 1: your mission. We're on this mission with you. Let's do this.
Speaker 1: And that has been my experience with them so far
Speaker 1: is they are equally wanting the book to be in
Speaker 1: as many hands as possible, and it will be the
Speaker 1: first fasting manual for women. There has never been one written.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of fasting books out there, but there's
Speaker 1: never been one customized for women. So it's a really cool,
Speaker 1: cool book. That's amazing. Well, I am living proof that
Speaker 1: what you are preaching is true and and helpful, and
Speaker 1: so yeah, I highly recommend everyone. You. You have so
Speaker 1: much on YouTube and Instagram and you lead a group
Speaker 1: right through different fasts every month. Is that what happens? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So we started doing um When I first got on YouTube,
Speaker 1: people were like, this is really cool. Can we do
Speaker 1: it together? And so I started doing fast training weeks
Speaker 1: And what that is is I take a five day
Speaker 1: period every month, and we practice different fasts, so I
Speaker 1: teach all different kinds and it's been really fun because
Speaker 1: we are seeing impacts of health changes in people who
Speaker 1: I don't even know and I've never spent a time
Speaker 1: at all with me, but they can watch my YouTube
Speaker 1: videos and go through this collective experience, this worldwide experience together,
Speaker 1: and they can change their health. It's really like, what
Speaker 1: if I ever get a low moment, I just go
Speaker 1: and look at my my comments on YouTube and I
Speaker 1: read everybody's stories about how they got off medications, and yeah,
Speaker 1: it's really profound. And then I have a a membership
Speaker 1: group where I teach people how to build what I
Speaker 1: call a fasting lifestyle, which is how do you eat,
Speaker 1: how do you fast, how you like what you're learning,
Speaker 1: how do we go in and out of these different
Speaker 1: fasting and food states. Um, And that's really the first
Speaker 1: start start is getting into that fasting lifestyle and understanding
Speaker 1: the rhythm for you. So that's what we teach them
Speaker 1: my membership group. Amazing, Well, thank you for your passion,
Speaker 1: thank you for what you put into the world. And
Speaker 1: I always ask my guests. I have this thing called
Speaker 1: the Holy Five, which are five of your favorite songs
Speaker 1: that could be from your lifetime, be what you're listening
Speaker 1: to recently. But um, of course, music being my thing,
Speaker 1: I always love to hear what people are listening to.
Speaker 1: So what are your holy five? Okay, my holy five?
Speaker 1: This is a hard one, by the way, and I'd
Speaker 1: like to say five is a little a little limiting. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like the ones I didn't pick are getting
Speaker 1: left out, so it's okay, we could do it again. Okay, okay.
Speaker 1: So number one is if there was one band and
Speaker 1: one album that I could listen to over and over again,
Speaker 1: it would be Fleetwood Mac Rumors. So my number one
Speaker 1: song was my wedding, our wedding song, which is songbird
Speaker 1: but the School and I love love like never before. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's that one. Like it's not a great wedding song.
Speaker 1: Let's just say that because you can't really dance to it. Um,
Speaker 1: but it really like typified when my husband and I
Speaker 1: connected how we felt about each other. So the first
Speaker 1: one has to be a songbird. Um. Okay, second one,
Speaker 1: this one I listened to my whole life and then
Speaker 1: I didn't really like realize what it meant until I
Speaker 1: hit thirty because I started to listen to words and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, this is exactly what
Speaker 1: life feels like a thirty and it's the Logical song
Speaker 1: by Super Tramp. Oh my god, I know this song.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I know that song. Maybe I
Speaker 1: just don't know your name of it. Basically like they
Speaker 1: taught me to be sensible, they taught me to be logical.
Speaker 1: They sent me away to teach me how to be practical,
Speaker 1: and it's about following the rules of life and how
Speaker 1: that kind of sucks and that we actually should should
Speaker 1: not get caught up in that. You're gonna love it.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to listen to it. I love it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I taught you a song. Okay, you did. Thought's a
Speaker 1: that's huge, that's a. That's a mic drop for me. Um.
Speaker 1: So the third song, Okay, this one actually is I
Speaker 1: think fairly recent. Um but it's like my parenting philosophy
Speaker 1: and it's Ablaze by Atlantis Morrissett. Oh wow, I don't
Speaker 1: know if I know that one either. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 1: I love her. She's amazing. I've learned a lot from
Speaker 1: my guests with musical choices. I'm like, oh, I don't
Speaker 1: know that one, So yeah, I love it. Okay, So Ablaze. Actually,
Speaker 1: the cool thing about Ablaze is I think there's a
Speaker 1: line in it that says, my goal was just to
Speaker 1: keep the light on in your eyes. And the first time, yeah,
Speaker 1: and the first time I heard it, I saw Atlantis.
Speaker 1: It was during the pandemic and Atlantis. Morrissette was holding
Speaker 1: her two year old on the Jimmy Kim Show, but
Speaker 1: all everybody was in a different studio because it was
Speaker 1: the pandemic. And so she's singing and her daughter's trying
Speaker 1: to grab at her, and she's singing a song about
Speaker 1: how she's just trying to keep the light on in
Speaker 1: her daughter's eyes, and it's a it's a really touching song.
Speaker 1: Then she's sort love your hue and your blues, comusure,
Speaker 1: you're comusic, gulls away, my amused to keep. That's beautiful.
Speaker 1: That has to be number three. Okay, number four. Okay,
Speaker 1: do you know tom O'Dell. I don't know tom Odell.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Okay, So tom O'Dell. His song Grow
Speaker 1: Old with Me is the next phase of my husband
Speaker 1: and I his life, and it's basically about growing old together.
Speaker 1: But his whole album one of you know, I went
Speaker 1: to Spotify and did is this is tom O'Dell? That
Speaker 1: got me through, right, I listened to it every night
Speaker 1: while I was writing. But grow old with me, that's
Speaker 1: that's something going ship. I love it. I love that
Speaker 1: you you have it's like the thirties, what you're parenting,
Speaker 1: your next phase of your life. I love that there's
Speaker 1: all these like pieces that I don't know, there's these
Speaker 1: like marker points that which was what I love about
Speaker 1: music is that there's always a song for like those
Speaker 1: market points in our lives. Yeah, right, and that's kind
Speaker 1: of how I yeah, when the words and the and
Speaker 1: the music come together. Okay, fifth one you definitely know
Speaker 1: and it's super cheesy and it is the song Like
Speaker 1: my friends that are listening are gonna be like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, Mindy does so your song? Um, it's the
Speaker 1: song when it comes on that I turned into a
Speaker 1: rock star and start dancing around and singing. And if
Speaker 1: you do that with me, then you need to leave
Speaker 1: my presence. Um yeah, oh no, it's right. It's uh.
Speaker 1: It's Total Eclipse of the Heart by Body. Total is
Speaker 1: that your Can you do a cover for on that? One. Please,
Speaker 1: I might just have to do that just for you. Please.
Speaker 1: I would love that. It is literally my favorite song
Speaker 1: and everything else to stop and I immediately have to
Speaker 1: belt out every word and the people that join me
Speaker 1: and that become my best friend and that's amazing. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: you know you and I've never met in person officially,
Speaker 1: so would we do? I think we might have to
Speaker 1: go find a karaoke bar and sing that song. Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, I think I'll do it, although we're gonna
Speaker 1: turn my mic off, your mike on, No, no, you're
Speaker 1: going to be joining in. We'll get some Dry Farms
Speaker 1: wine going, and then we'll sing Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Speaker 1: It is a little bit of one of those songs
Speaker 1: that I can't hold back, so you would have to
Speaker 1: bear with my voice. That singing is not my superpower,
Speaker 1: but that song brings me so much joy. So yes,
Speaker 1: when we officially meet in person, we will do karaoke
