00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Get a.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 2: I'm Lula Berry, nutritionist, author, actor, TV presenter, and professional oversharer.

3
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 2: This podcast is all about celebrating failure because I believe.

4
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: It's a chance for us to learn, grow and face

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: our blind spots.

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 2: Each week, I'll interview a different guest about their highs

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: as well as their lows, all in a bid to

8
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: inspire us.

9
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 1: To fearlessly fail. Hello, Welcome to the pod.

10
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: I'm recording this in that funky time between Christmas and

11
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 2: New Year where you kind of forget what day it is,

12
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: what time of the day it is. You're kind of

13
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 2: eating leftovers and triteos, and you're sort of doing lots

14
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: of social stuff and.

15
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: Going out with mates and whatnot.

16
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: And so this is a festive health episode and it

17
00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: is by no means at all about kind of like

18
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 2: trying to like mop up over indulging or anything like

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: that from Chrissy and in the lead up to New

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: Year's festivities. It's more about just finding the balance, dropping

21
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 2: the guilt. And I'm going to share with you some

22
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 2: really simple little hacks essentially like health and wellness hacks

23
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 2: that you can implement in this warped limbo time between

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: Christy and New year without feeling like you're on some

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: crazy detox, but also in a bid to help you

26
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: so that when it gets to January, first you're not like,

27
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: oh my goodness, I've got a like, now go on

28
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 2: a cleanse or detox because I've overindulged for a month straight,

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: you know what I mean.

30
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. First. First things first, what.

31
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 2: Like, let's talk about some of the great stuff, like

32
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: the highlights of the Crimbo season. That's my word for Christmas.

33
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 2: You got to hang out with people that you love.

34
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: You probably got to have a few beautiful venos, some

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: delicious food. I was really lucky. Mum sent over a

36
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 2: gluten free and dairy free Christmas pud from Australia because

37
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: Christmas pudding is not something you can get in America.

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: You can't get fruit mince's, so no fruit mince's for me.

39
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: But I got some of my tradition, which is Mum

40
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 2: makes berry jam. So she sent over some brambleberry jam.

41
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 2: Had that like dripping on gluten free toast. It was

42
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: so good and that was my you know, that was

43
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 2: my little chrissy morning tradition. And we made pumpkin pie pancakes,

44
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: left over from Dad's birthday.

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: The mix was and.

46
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: Then we had this beautiful Christmas pudding and made Mum's

47
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: famous brandy kreme. And because we celebrated Christmas with Ossie

48
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 2: friends with his slow cooked lamb shoulder, potato gratan, lots

49
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: of peas and mint jelly, all the fun stuff.

50
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: And I think, like, that's what it's about.

51
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: It's about sharing good food and celebration and presies and

52
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: all that kind of thing with the people that you love.

53
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: It's essentially a celebration. So don't have guilt. Used I

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 2: spent years, I spent my twenties having guilt around food

55
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 2: and Christmas and New Year and all of that kind

56
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 2: of thing. So first of all, how exciting that we

57
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 2: got to all spend hopefully Christmas doing something we want

58
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: to do with the people that we want to be around.

59
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 2: I know, when I used to live away from home

60
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: and I was single, I used to volunteer on Christmas Day,

61
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: and to the point that like the second year Mom

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: came up and volunteered with me, and the third year

63
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: Dad came up and volunteered with me. When I lived

64
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: in Sids, because it used to be so expensive to

65
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: fly to Melbourne for Christmas probably still is, and same

66
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: goes with La, Like flying back to Australia from Mala

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: is like super expensive this time of year. So we

68
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: just kind of like were like, well, we're staying put

69
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: for Chrissy and saving our penamonis. So I want to

70
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: start with that. Let's start with like the winds, the celebrations,

71
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 2: all good stuff, like what were the good things that

72
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 2: happened to you at Chrissy? And for me, delish food

73
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: with the people that I love or some of the

74
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: people I love. I wasn't with Mum, dad or my

75
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 2: brother Tristan, but I facetimeed them all on Chrissy Day.

76
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 2: They actually all got to spend Christmas Day together, even

77
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 2: though Mum and Dad have been divorced since I went

78
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: into prep, so that's a long long time thirty nine

79
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: so it's a long time ago. So yeah, like they

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: would have got divorced like thirty four years ago or

81
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: something like that. And they spent Chrissy together with our

82
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 2: friends that we grew up with in winchl Sa, so

83
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: like out of Geelong which is where Mum goes berry picking, right,

84
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: and so it was cool that the three of them

85
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 2: spent Chrissy on the Farm where it makes me think

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 2: of Christmas when I think of my childhood. So that's

87
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: what I think Chrissy is all about. And New Year's

88
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 2: is all about kind of like celebrating love really and

89
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 2: fam Okay, so how do we kind of like look

90
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 2: after our health while still having these awesome experiences that

91
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: often revolve around, you know, a bit of extra booze

92
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: or a bit more indulgent food, simple things. So the

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: first one, this sounds like such an easy thing, but water.

94
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 2: So water is going to help all your organs of elimination,

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 2: keep things moving. The first sign of dehydration is actually hunger.

96
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: So the goal for water is about a leader a

97
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 2: day for every twenty two kilograms you weigh. So for

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: someone like me, that's like three liters a day. And

99
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, I don't get three leaders

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 2: in a day. I'll probably get two. But if you

101
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: just up the water a little bit, it's just going

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: to help the body. Really, Like if you know you're

103
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: having a little bit more of treaties or yeah, fruit

104
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: minces or gingerbread or cookies and stuff like that, Like

105
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: just keep the water high so that you're it makes

106
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 2: it easier for your body and organs of elimination to work.

107
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 2: So if you a good tip is if you don't

108
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: like water and you don't like the flavor of it,

109
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,679
Speaker 2: rip up some mint leaves, throw them in to your water.

110
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 2: Fresh berries in your water or frozen berries really really yummy.

111
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: So I would say up the water number one. And

112
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: if you want to start your morning on a little

113
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 2: bit of just fresh lemon juice in warm water, that's

114
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: going to stimulate the liver biol production. We know that

115
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: the liver is kind of like the garbage man or

116
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 2: the entire body. So by supporting the liver, you're going

117
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: to help it rid the body of toxins, especially if

118
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: you're consuming a little bit more higher fats than usually

119
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: would lives in.

120
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: Charge of that as well.

121
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 2: So a little bit of fresh lemon juice, not the

122
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: bottled stuff, fresh lemon juice, warm water, and you kind

123
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 2: of want to shot it because that can erode the

124
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: enamel of the teeth as well, so you do want

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 2: to shot it.

126
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: Another good one that gets like loads of.

127
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 2: I guess like I feel like it comes in and

128
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 2: out of fashion as apple cider vinegar really great on salads,

129
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: but it does have that same like like the way

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: that lemonons quite sour. Apple side of viniger is that

131
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: as well. The name probably gives it away, but you

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 2: can do that same trick. It's like a little bit

133
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: of that with warm water and shot it again. Don't

134
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: roll it around your mouth, around your teeth or anything

135
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: like that, but definitely like you can. You can totally

136
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: like shot that back in the morning or if before

137
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: you're gonna eat a really heavy meal, because it stimulates

138
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: stimulates the hydrochloric acid of your tummy. It helps with

139
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 2: digestive enzymes. So that's a good little trick if you

140
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: know you're gonna have a really heavy meal. Boss and

141
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 2: I are actually making chili tonight, like a beautiful slow

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 2: cooked meat dish. If I had apple side of vineger

143
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: at home, that'd be a really good thing to have,

144
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 2: like a mini shot off, but make sure you dilute it,

145
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 2: have it with some hot water, just so it's not too.

146
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: Like oof, knock the.

147
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: Wind out of you, you know what I mean, like

148
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 2: knock the air out of you, because it is really

149
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 2: really strong.

150
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: Like I've shotted it straight before. My eyes are watering.

151
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: Another thing that is.

152
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 2: Really cheap and really easy to implement when you're overindulging

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 2: or just having a little bit more tritos here and

154
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: there is fiber.

155
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: Fiber is found in nearly.

156
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: All fruits and veggies, whole grains, nuts, and seeds, but

157
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: you can also like add it to smoothies like cilium husk.

158
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: You can add that to smoothies. You want to drink

159
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: a lot of water when you're having fiber, and look

160
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 2: at fiber as an intestinal broom. It literally just like

161
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 2: cleans out the digestive system, keeps things moving. Fiber is

162
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 2: your best mate. Another good trick with fiber is obviously

163
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 2: chia seeds and chea seeds. You can make your chea

164
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: put out of them, but they're a really great way

165
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: to just like keep things moving along. And I love

166
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 2: adding fiber to a green smoothie. So you could add

167
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 2: it to like just irregular w old smoothie, or you

168
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: could just make a chea pud first thing in the morning.

169
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 2: You do want to make sure you soak your chea seeds,

170
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: so you know, soak them overnight's almond milk or coconut milk,

171
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 2: and then like add your berries. You can fold some

172
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 2: protein powder through that. Some cottage cheese or yogurt through that,

173
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: that's a really healthy breakfast that's going to keep you

174
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 2: fling satiated, which means fuller for longer. And then it's

175
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 2: also going to have that really high fiber content, so

176
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: it's going to keep things moving. So either sneaking fiber

177
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: into a green smoothie is a great way to do it,

178
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: or make a cheer put but super super easy, and

179
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: you do want to anytime you are like feeling like

180
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: you're having a lot of like in extra food, like

181
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: just always come back to count your colors. I know

182
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 2: this is like nutrition one oh one, but by counting

183
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,680
Speaker 2: the amount of you know, fruits, veggies, and the different

184
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: kind of colors you're getting like red berries or you're

185
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: getting yeah, red tomatoes. Then you're getting all the leafy

186
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: greens which are obviously green, and then you might be

187
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: eating eggplant or Americans call them aubergines, which is purple.

188
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: You're getting a broad range of phytochemicals or phyto nutrients,

189
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: which means plant nutrients, and the different nutrients or plant chemicals,

190
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: the different ones are found different colors, right, so lycopene,

191
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: which is what makes watermelon red or tomatoes red is

192
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: a really potent antioxidant, not just for skins health, but

193
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: also for heart health, you know what I mean. So

194
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 2: the blue color found in blueberries, I hope I say

195
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 2: that's right is anthocyanins.

196
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I did.

197
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: It's a flavonoid, which is essentially an antioxidant that's linked

198
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 2: to protecting the body from type two diabetes, dementia, even

199
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 2: some cancers. So eat your colors, and just when you're

200
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 2: doing your shop, sure go down the chalky aisle and

201
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 2: buy some of your favorite marvelous creations or whatever you're getting.

202
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: But also like go down the fresh food aisle and

203
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 2: get yourself some berries, get yourself just like salad mix,

204
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: and just try to get those colors in during the day.

205
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 2: And you know, if you know you're going out for

206
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: you know, boozy dinner or something like, make sure you

207
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 2: have a really healthy salad, boil some eggs, add some avocado.

208
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: Fun fact, avocado is one of the highest food sources

209
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: of fiber as well plastic, getting good fats in there

210
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: and that works on the satiation too, So that's a

211
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: good trick. And like don't be afraid of like hacking

212
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 2: your favorite sweet treats. Like speaking of abbos. I love

213
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 2: making a raw chock abo moose. Throw that in there

214
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: so easy. I'm going to be posting the recipes on

215
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 2: my Insta really really soon, And so don't be afraid

216
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: of like finding a recipe and maguy ving it.

217
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: That's probably a very millennial word, but.

218
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: You know, like hacking it essentially to make it healthier

219
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 2: with little tricks like adding cinnamon to something that is sweet,

220
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: because that helps to modulate and balance blood sugar levels

221
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 2: or blood glucose levels. So little kind of like tricks

222
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 2: like that are really helpful. I do want to talk

223
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 2: about mindset because I don't know about you, but when

224
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 2: I'm indulging a little bit more, I'm usually more inflamed.

225
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: And when I'm more inflamed, my gut feels like bloated

226
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 2: and whatnot, and my you know, eyes feel a bit

227
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: scratchy and my I'm also an allergy girl, like gluten

228
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 2: and for me and sugar all like bring up all

229
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: my like I'll get scratchy eyes, I'll get like congested nozzle.

230
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: I'll think I'm getting sick, but it's just inflammation. And

231
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 2: so just being aware of the things that cause inflammation

232
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: for you, so for me it's sugar, gluten and dairy.

233
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: I'll then go all right, Like I said to Matt,

234
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: I had we had really delicious and indulgent Christmas, even

235
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 2: Christmas Day, and then on Boxing Day we had leftover pudding,

236
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 2: but the pudding was gluten and dairy free, so I

237
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: knew I could still indulge and really satiate that sweet

238
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: craving without feeling the inflammation on top of it would

239
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: just had some sugar in it, right, And so it

240
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: was a really good like I called them when I

241
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: have nutrition clients medium day or like first ease in day,

242
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: where you're not going like cold turkey and just craving

243
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 2: sugar because you're giving yourself a little bit of the

244
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: thing essentially. But I wasn't having fifteen other things with

245
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: sugar and dairy and gluten in them like I had

246
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: previously been doing the few days before.

247
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: So that's a really good hack to.

248
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 2: And yet if you do want to pull inflammation back,

249
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: the quickest and easiest way to do that is to

250
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 2: pull the sugar right back and like swap it out

251
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: for you know, dark chocolate. And like I said, I'll

252
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: post that recipe for a raw choc avo moose and

253
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: you can put fresh berries on it and making cheer puddings,

254
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 2: then throwing granola on top, Like those kind of things

255
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 2: are going to help to satiate the sweet tooth for

256
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: you as well. There are some really nice cleaner sweetness

257
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 2: like stevir and monk fruit. It's also called lang halgal.

258
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 2: Like you've got all these amazing options for sweet things

259
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 2: that aren't going to make you feel inflamed. And then,

260
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,520
Speaker 2: like I said, getting onto mindfulness and mindset. Without the

261
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 2: mindset piece of the puzzle, it's really hard to stick

262
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: to your goals for much longer than about ten days

263
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,200
Speaker 2: is kind of like where we wane. So you really

264
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 2: do want to focus on why you want to be healthier,

265
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: why you're making these healthy habits, or why you're doing

266
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 2: what you're doing, because that is going to give you

267
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: willpower when your willpower runs out. Fun fact about willpower

268
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: really strong in the morning, but the more decisions or

269
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: choices we make during the day, our willpower literally runs out,

270
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 2: just like a battery does. And so by three four

271
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: pm you're like, oh my god, I just want the

272
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 2: tim terms because your willpower is lower, You've used up energy,

273
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: you're craving for something sweet to get you through the

274
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: rest of the day. So just be aware that, like,

275
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 2: mindset is so important because willpower will for every single

276
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: person just run out. It's not like one person has

277
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 2: better willpower than the other. It's just a mindset and

278
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: mindfulness thing. So you can practice mindful eating by being

279
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 2: really present, noticing who you're sitting with, the flavors, the textures,

280
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: the smells. Right off this pod, Boss and I are

281
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: going out for lunch and we're so excited. It's our

282
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 2: Sunday lunch date thing that we do each week and

283
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: I'm really looking forward to it. But we really like

284
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: we go to a as you know, we love air

285
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: War and we go and it's a hot bar. So

286
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: the menu changes daily and so we'll decide to what

287
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 2: if I get this, and you can share that with me,

288
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,600
Speaker 2: and it's really really nice. Now, I think a really

289
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: cool thing around health and wellness as well, especially around

290
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: this festive time when you're kind of taking stock on

291
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: the year and thinking of the year ahead, is like

292
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 2: thinking about habits and habits that you want to cultivate,

293
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 2: and habits that you want to let go of, and

294
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: habits that you are really happy with that are going

295
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 2: on in your life. So you could think about, okay, well,

296
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 2: coming into you know, in the new year, what do

297
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: I want to pull the handbrake up on, What do

298
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 2: I want to go easy? And what do I want

299
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 2: to stop? And it might be for me it's always

300
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 2: like keeping the inflammation down. So the sugar, the gluten,

301
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 2: and the dairy is something that like I try to

302
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 2: keep out of my diet probably ninety five percent of

303
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: the time. And then it's like, okay, well, what do

304
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 2: I want to start doing that I'm being a bit

305
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 2: lazy with And for me, I started the year off

306
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 2: really strong, doing PT and doing strength training and weights

307
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 2: training with our beautiful trainer in bar and Bay called Atlanta. Now,

308
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: as soon as we moved to La in March, that

309
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: went out the window, didn't it. I didn't have access

310
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: to a gym, I wasn't being like onto it. Even

311
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: though Alana had written me sessions and plans, I wasn't

312
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 2: being consistent with it. So I probably now she's sent

313
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: me an online program. Now I probably do that once

314
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: a month. How terrible. I can't believe I'm even admitting

315
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 2: that out loud, But I really want to be doing

316
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 2: two to three strength sessions a week. So that's something

317
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to try and cultivate for the new year

318
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 2: and really kind of like build into just like my habits,

319
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: so I don't really think about it. I just get

320
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: up and I just do it three times a week,

321
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 2: and I have no excuses. We have a gym literally

322
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: in our apartment building.

323
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: My yoga as.

324
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: Well has let I've let that slip. I probably practice

325
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: like once or twice a month. I literally work at

326
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: a yoga studio and I have access to free yoga

327
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: twenty four to seven. So that's something I want to

328
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 2: be doing three times a week as well. Hikes that

329
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 2: kind of thing I've let slide and alay is so

330
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: great for hikes. That's something I want to be doing

331
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 2: once a week. I'm happy to do is hikes are

332
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 2: pretty time consuming by the time you drive there, you

333
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: hike it. Happy that once a week, that's a really

334
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: cool way to hang catch up with friends. As far

335
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 2: as like health and wellness, Like Matt and I are

336
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 2: pretty Matt is one of the most incredible influences in

337
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: my life, especially from a health and wellness perspective, because

338
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 2: he loves home cook food and being Italian, he loves

339
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,880
Speaker 2: to make everything from scratch, and so it's just kind

340
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 2: of like tapping into that and enjoying that. I probably

341
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: buy my lunches out when I'm at work a little

342
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 2: bit too much, so I really want to pull that

343
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:40,959
Speaker 2: back to just like the once a week thing that

344
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: Boss and I do. We also want to cultivate date night.

345
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: We actually haven't been doing that because I've been really

346
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,959
Speaker 2: really busy at the yogurest you and Boss has been

347
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: really busy composing, and so I think like something we

348
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 2: want to start doing is having a date night out

349
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 2: like once a week. So that's something we want to

350
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 2: start doing in January. So start thinking about the things

351
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 2: that you want to stop doing. Like for me, yep,

352
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 2: pull out that sugar, get it out of the diet.

353
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:06,880
Speaker 2: It kind of has this way of sneaking in when

354
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm a bit stressed and anxious, And then what do

355
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,199
Speaker 2: I want to continue doing, which is kind of like

356
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: upping that pt upping that strength work. Start bringing in

357
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 2: all these things I have access to but I'm not

358
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 2: doing them well enough. Bring them in and then that's

359
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: the continuing thing. And then the new things, like I

360
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 2: don't know about you. But like, I think health and

361
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 2: wellness has so much to do with like the other

362
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: stuff you do outside of like physically what you eat

363
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: and how you move your body, and it might be

364
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 2: like reading or meditating or yeah, doing yoga three times

365
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,719
Speaker 2: a week and being really really consistent to that. Like

366
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: I know, I want twenty twenty five to be my

367
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: healthiest year, yet I want to feel strong. It's the

368
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: year that I will be turning forty. I want to

369
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,199
Speaker 2: feel when I turn forty. I want to feel the

370
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 2: like I want to feel the best that I can

371
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: feel now. But like, why can't that be my healthiest,

372
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 2: most vital year. Yeah, because health also one hundred percent

373
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: affects your career, your productivity, like how focused you can be,

374
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 2: Like we talk about feeling like we want to be like, oh,

375
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: you know, on point and focused on our goals. Like

376
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 2: this is the year where like I want to be

377
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 2: doing and making every choice around my passion and doing

378
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,199
Speaker 2: stuff that is linked to my passion super important for

379
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 2: me this year. So start thinking about those those things

380
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: that you want to like, start doing, continuing doing because

381
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: you're probably doing already stuff that's great, and then stop

382
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 2: doing now. I was inspired that around that, like what

383
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 2: do you want to stop doing?

384
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: What do you want to start doing? And what do

385
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: you want to continue doing?

386
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: Because I listened to a podcast that my beautiful friend

387
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: Beck sent me, Beck, You're the Best, chuck out the rest,

388
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 2: and it was a podcast by Mel Robbins and it's

389
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 2: called Seven Questions and those three bits about what you

390
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: want to stop doing, start doing and continuing doing ugh

391
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: questions four, five, and six off her seven question list.

392
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: It's a really cool thing to listen to on pod,

393
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 2: to listen to going into the New Year. I believe

394
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 2: it came out on Christmas Day, so go back and

395
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 2: have listened to it. I can even find I'm sure

396
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: I can find a link for it and put it

397
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,479
Speaker 2: in my show notes today for you. But that's really cool.

398
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 2: It's a really cool way to take stock, take on

399
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 2: your life. But also you could do it through this

400
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 2: lens that I just did it with you through, like

401
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: through the health lens, you know. So I hope that's

402
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: been helpful for you. Go and enjoy New Year, have

403

405
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: Just about kind of like finding that balance.

406
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 2: Around festive health and wellness and like doing the little

407
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,879

Speaker 2: but also like excited for the new year, like why

415
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 2: can't twenty twenty five be our most vital and healthiest

416
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 2: and happiest and filled with passion here?

417

Speaker 1: Yet? You know, why can't it be?

418
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,399
