Speaker 1: This is doctor Wendy Walsh and you're listening to KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty the Doctor Wendy Walsh Show on demand
Speaker 1: on the iHeartRadio app. Welcome back to the Doctor Nims
Speaker 1: Show on KFI AM six forty nine everywhere on the
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio App. All right, let me get to social media
Speaker 1: and your dms if you do want to send me
Speaker 1: a question. The instagram that we check the most is
Speaker 1: at doctor Wendy Walsh at d R Wendy Walsh. Reminder,
Speaker 1: I always say this, Let's say it over and over again.
Speaker 1: I'm not a therapist. This isn't mental health advice. This
Speaker 1: is an opinion by a wise woman who has been
Speaker 1: reading about the science of relationships and reporting on it
Speaker 1: and writing about it for quite a few decades. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's a disclaimer, you know, for the lawyers. Okay, Dear
Speaker 1: doctor Wendy, I asked a man I was dating to
Speaker 1: buy me flowers. Three weeks later, he still hasn't. Does
Speaker 1: this automatically mean the care and respect is not there? Okay,
Speaker 1: we need to talk about this. First of all, you
Speaker 1: don't demand love and attention right at the beginning of
Speaker 1: a relationship. You watch for sacrifice. Now, when I say watch,
Speaker 1: I just mean you know, at the beginning, it's always like,
Speaker 1: you know, the only I don't know how long you've
Speaker 1: been dating, but you know you're just kind of letting
Speaker 1: them hang themselves, if you will, letting them figure it
Speaker 1: out and you say yes or no. But demanding that
Speaker 1: someone tell you they love you, demanding that someone tell
Speaker 1: you you're beautiful, demanding that they give you flowers. Nobody
Speaker 1: wants to give anything when it's extracted, right, So my
Speaker 1: answer is it doesn't mean anything. All it means is
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be controlled by you.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: Look, I'll never forget. Very early on in my relationship
Speaker 1: with my now husband Julio, he said to me, I
Speaker 1: adore you, and I said, oh my god, say it again. Nope,
Speaker 1: I don't say it on demand. And I laughed. But
Speaker 1: it taught me you can't ask for care. You sit back,
Speaker 1: you express your needs. I mean a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't show where people can be helpful, and then you
Speaker 1: decide whether you're going to accept it or not. But
Speaker 1: it's not about demanding because it never feels good when
Speaker 1: they have to do it, and it's not authentic. It
Speaker 1: doesn't even feel good to you.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Moving on, This is a really interesting question because I'm
Speaker 1: not one hundred percent sure about what this listener means.
Speaker 1: But she says, dear doctor Wendy, are sassy men common?
Speaker 1: I feel more and more men want women to earn
Speaker 1: their love and treat them in a special way before
Speaker 1: they begin to act like gentlemen. This has been the
Speaker 1: way with my last four dates. All right, So let
Speaker 1: me explain to you what is really going on right
Speaker 1: now in a certain age group, Like when women are
Speaker 1: in their fertility window, right they're mostly in their twenties
Speaker 1: and thirties. We have an oversupplied successful women and an
Speaker 1: undersupply of men who those educated women might consider to
Speaker 1: be marriageable. So there's this small group of the Internet
Speaker 1: likes to call them alpha males. I like to call
Speaker 1: them educated, high earning males. That women who have patriarchy
Speaker 1: and the cinerella complex inside their own heads think they
Speaker 1: need a man to look up to who makes more money,
Speaker 1: who you know, is more educated, whatever. And so this
Speaker 1: small group of men is being highly sought after by
Speaker 1: a large group of women, and so men have gotten
Speaker 1: lazy that group. That group does not have to sacrifice
Speaker 1: to earn a woman's love. They don't have to. I
Speaker 1: remember one time going to a Circusila performance and this
Speaker 1: there was a couple on a date, clearly in front
Speaker 1: of me, and she had heels on, her hair and
Speaker 1: makeup was perfect, she had a lovely little miniskirt on
Speaker 1: beautiful legs, and she was all dressed up. And he
Speaker 1: was like in flip flops with a flannel shirt and
Speaker 1: a backwards baseball cap. I'm like, they don't even try, Like,
Speaker 1: why even't bother right because she's into me?
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: So the answer is, you can eat up your fertility
Speaker 1: window trying to get one of those men, the small
Speaker 1: group of sought after men, to commit to you, or
Speaker 1: you could expand your horizons and look around at all
Speaker 1: the amazing men out there who might not have your
Speaker 1: level of education. They might not make as much money.
Speaker 1: A boy can they love? And boy can they sacrifice
Speaker 1: for you? You know what I like to say about my husband, Julio,
Speaker 1: since the day I met him. Ladies, listen up. Do
Speaker 1: you know what I carry when I walk through an airport?
Speaker 1: A cell phone. I'm not allowed to touch any other bag.
Speaker 1: He schlaps like crazy, my stuff, his stuff, gotta know.
Speaker 1: I spent years as a single mother pulling strollers and
Speaker 1: car seats and their bags and my bags, and I
Speaker 1: was exhausted. So this is my time to be treated
Speaker 1: like a queen. And I am happy to sit back
Speaker 1: and be treated like a queen. And so when I
Speaker 1: was on those dating apps and there were men, how
Speaker 1: Pulio's not listening. There are men who might have been
Speaker 1: better looking, might have been younger, might have had more money, whatever,
Speaker 1: if they were starting to like cause a delay in
Speaker 1: the response time on the texts, or if they were
Speaker 1: being sassy like you're asking, I just got rid of them,
Speaker 1: A ghosted him. I wanted to be with the man
Speaker 1: who adored me because it was my time and I
Speaker 1: deserved that. So yeah, if the last four days you've
Speaker 1: been on have been with sassy men, don't hope that
Speaker 1: they will turn into gentlemen. Don't hope that because it's
Speaker 1: not happening. Not those guys, right, they have proven themselves.
Speaker 1: So just move along, move along and expand your horizons. Please.
Speaker 1: Uh okay, Next back into the DMS on Instagram at
Speaker 1: dr Wendy Walsh. Dear doctor Wendy, I had a huge
Speaker 1: fight with my boyfriend and apologize to him. He wants
Speaker 1: to move on like it never happened. He just went
Speaker 1: right back to normalcy. Should I move forward with him
Speaker 1: or push a healing conversation?
Speaker 2: Push?
Speaker 1: I don't like that word, all right, So what I
Speaker 1: don't understand here is if you had a fight and
Speaker 1: you apologized, that was the healing conversation. No, that's probably
Speaker 1: what he assumes, and the fact that he went back
Speaker 1: to normalcy tells you that he's over it. Now, I'm
Speaker 1: wondering if you're not over it and you feel you
Speaker 1: need more discussion about that, because he seems to be
Speaker 1: fine with things. Should I move forward with him or
Speaker 1: push a healing conversation? I didn't understand. I guess you're saying,
Speaker 1: should I pretend like nothing happened, moving forward with him
Speaker 1: the way he's doing, or should you know? It depends
Speaker 1: what this conversation is. You know, it has to happen
Speaker 1: at an intimate time when you're cuddling, maybe after you
Speaker 1: know what, and you just say, hey, baby, with that
Speaker 1: big fight we had a couple of weeks ago, and
Speaker 1: I apologize and I'm really sorry. Can we talk about
Speaker 1: like just what started it? Because I don't want to
Speaker 1: have a fight like that ever again. And there are
Speaker 1: a few things I just want to make clear in
Speaker 1: a more calm way. Can we just talk about that
Speaker 1: and we'll go all right? You know you could do
Speaker 1: that if you really felt like there's you weren't heard.
Speaker 1: I guess all right. Oh this is a very interesting one,
Speaker 1: Dear doctor Wendy. I have a friend from my old
Speaker 1: town who moved to LA. She loves the same books
Speaker 1: as I do, so I decided to give her a
Speaker 1: book I knew that she would love. I asked for
Speaker 1: her address so I could send it to her, and
Speaker 1: she responded to me like I was a creep stock
Speaker 1: trying to stalk her. It was so weird. We go
Speaker 1: back eight years. I'm offended. What's the best way to
Speaker 1: address this? Back off, creep? No, I mean, there's something
Speaker 1: that you said or did at some point in her
Speaker 1: life that made her not want to give you her address.
Speaker 1: You have a different perception of this relationship than she does.
Speaker 1: Or maybe she's really scared in the big city alone
Speaker 1: by herself, and she's not giving out her address to anybody.
Speaker 1: So don't take it personally, don't be offended, don't take
Speaker 1: it personally. If you want to send her the book,
Speaker 1: you can send her an email or text that says
Speaker 1: do you have a mail service or your friend or
Speaker 1: your work Wise? Can I just send you the book?
Speaker 1: Because I did buy you this book, but you certainly
Speaker 1: you seemed a little skittish about giving me your address.
Speaker 1: I totally respect that. Don't you worry. Just tell me
Speaker 1: where I should send it. That's all you need to do.
Speaker 1: Don't take it personally. Is not about you, all right.
Speaker 1: When we come back, I have a very special guest.
Speaker 1: I have to tell you I've been exercising in the
Speaker 1: last few weeks and my muscles are so stiff. I
Speaker 1: can't even begin to tell you how sore I am.
Speaker 1: But we have a doctor coming up who's going to
Speaker 1: tell all of us how we can do our New
Speaker 1: Year's resolutions in a way that doesn't kill our body.
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Doctor Wendy Wall Show on
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. We're live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Doctor Wendy Walsh on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty.
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Doctor Wendywall Show on KFI AM
Speaker 1: six forty live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. So I
Speaker 1: got to tell you something. You know, one of the
Speaker 1: things I teach is psychology of health counseling. Now you
Speaker 1: would think that if I'm teaching health psychology, there's a
Speaker 1: lot of stuff about diet and exercise, But actually I
Speaker 1: teach about how relationships can improve our health or hurt
Speaker 1: our health, how access to healthcare can help you live
Speaker 1: longer or not. So I look at the social and
Speaker 1: the psychological pieces of health. But you know, back in
Speaker 1: my day, my day was a long time ago. There
Speaker 1: were a few decades between my day and now. I
Speaker 1: was a bit of an athlete. I used to teach
Speaker 1: about ten aerobic classes a week member Jane Fonda, all
Speaker 1: those high impact And then my guest is already laughing
Speaker 1: at my story. I have a great guest coming up,
Speaker 1: so wait. And then I would run triathlons on weekends.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. I was going to see pedietrists sports medicine
Speaker 1: people because I was putting too much wear and tear.
Speaker 1: And I was only in my twenties. So anyway, then
Speaker 1: I spent all those decades basically keeping it together while
Speaker 1: I had babies, breastfed babies, raised babies, and I exercised
Speaker 1: in waves. You know, a few months on and then
Speaker 1: oh a few months off, a little too much eating,
Speaker 1: get this, five pounds off, back to it, et cetera.
Speaker 1: But recently a friend of mine passed away. She had
Speaker 1: a heart attack all of a sudden, and I went, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta I gotta get serious. I really have to
Speaker 1: get serious. So I have been doing for the last
Speaker 1: couple of weeks orange theory. Orange theory. It sounds so nice,
Speaker 1: like you're just gonna eat an orange. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: You're running on a freaking treadmill, you're lifting weight, you're rowing.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy sixty minutes a cardio. And then the
Speaker 1: next day, in between I go do Lagree pilates, which
Speaker 1: is pilates on steroids. My muscles are so stiff, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna quit. And this is where my next
Speaker 1: guest comes in. Welcome doctor Jim Laval. He is both
Speaker 1: a pharmacist I like those, and also a register what
Speaker 1: do you call it, a licensed clinical nutritionist. I say
Speaker 1: that right, Jim curriical nutritionist, clinical nutrition curicle lectricianist.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: But get this.
Speaker 1: What he does, which is really cool, is He is
Speaker 1: an ex or two top athletes around the world, not
Speaker 1: just me, Olympians, NFL players, New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: He's a chief science officer for Lifetime and the former
Speaker 1: clinical director of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Health
Speaker 1: and Performance Program. Well, Jim, I need you to be
Speaker 1: a guest speaker in my class. Actually, so if you're
Speaker 1: ever out to LA we would love to have you.
Speaker 2: So is get out there, soil.
Speaker 1: Is it true that most people quit when they do
Speaker 1: their big New Year's resolutions? You know they're all coming
Speaker 1: out right the first couple weeks of January they quit
Speaker 1: because of muscle soreness.
Speaker 2: It's true. But you know what, I don't know if
Speaker 2: this is worth it or not. It just hurts too,
Speaker 2: That's true. I'm pretty good before I started doing this exercise.
Speaker 2: And I think the big thing is is that a
Speaker 2: lot of times people jump in it too hard, too fast,
Speaker 2: especially if you are a former athlete like me. I
Speaker 2: didn't say that, you know, But the thing is, I
Speaker 2: always say there's two kinds of folks out there. There's spartans,
Speaker 2: you know, people that if you told them to do,
Speaker 2: I want you to do these ten things they'll ask
Speaker 2: you a wedding and you give me twelve. And then there's
Speaker 2: the everyday person that usually it's better if you kind
Speaker 2: of guide them and get them started on a program.
Speaker 2: And I think that's where a lot of people go wrong.
Speaker 2: If you haven't exercised in years, you want to ease
Speaker 2: into your exercise program. And because the big thing is
Speaker 2: is when you get sore, that really is a matter
Speaker 2: of too much lactic acid in your muscle. You're not
Speaker 2: carrying oxygen into your tissues, and that means you're not
Speaker 2: going to recover as quick. So you can build to that.
Speaker 2: And there's also you know, nutrients you can take that
Speaker 2: can help it too. But I think it's real important
Speaker 2: that people get an idea. I love that you're doing pilates,
Speaker 2: by the way, that's great, man. You did pick a
Speaker 2: tough one. I mean orange theory. Oh that's a tough
Speaker 2: way to go there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, I learned a cheat already. That's
Speaker 1: the thing. I'm like, oh yeah, they say go up
Speaker 1: to level ten on the incline. I'm down there.
Speaker 2: We're good.
Speaker 1: Okay, It's all I need. At least I know my body.
Speaker 1: That's the main thing I think that smart.
Speaker 2: I want to. I think that's a big one I.
Speaker 1: Want to talk about before we get into the nutrients.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about sleep. Last night. Okay, So I tend
Speaker 1: to not sleep that much. I used to when I
Speaker 1: was young, but I've been sleeping six to seven hours
Speaker 1: a night. I never get eight hours. That's kind of
Speaker 1: my thing as an adult. Well, last night I slept
Speaker 1: twelve hours.
Speaker 2: Twelve hours, and.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you how strong I was when I
Speaker 1: went to Lagree today. I didn't even take any of
Speaker 1: the modifications. I didn't relax and go into child's posts once,
Speaker 1: even those mountain climber things. I was doing it. So
Speaker 1: sleep is a really big important part of fitness, isn't it.
Speaker 2: Thanks on the most important pieces of all things health.
Speaker 2: If you want to live a long life, fitness it's
Speaker 2: important because it helps your body. You recover, You get
Speaker 2: your neurochemical beds and your brain to rejuvenate, so you
Speaker 2: get serotonin, a dopamine and adrenaline and nor adrenaline back.
Speaker 2: And it really resets your circadian clock. So you know,
Speaker 2: our body runs by a clock, it's called the master
Speaker 2: slave clock, and when you don't sleep, that clock starts
Speaker 2: telling the wrong time, meaning that your body now starts
Speaker 2: sending all kinds of confusing signals on how to release
Speaker 2: hormones and neurotransmitters, and so getting sleep and feeling rested
Speaker 2: is incredibly important. Well, I do like people wearing some
Speaker 2: sort of you know, heart rate monitor, like whether it's
Speaker 2: a whoop or an our ring or something that at
Speaker 2: least tells them the quality of their sleep, because a
Speaker 2: lot of times people don't realize, hey, I just have
Speaker 2: one glass of wine at night before bed, and they
Speaker 2: can see if the patterns of what you eat much drink,
Speaker 2: how much stress you're under, how that impacts your sleep,
Speaker 2: and you can begin to learn from it.
Speaker 1: I knew you'd bring up the wine problem. I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear it, but yeah, that is the main
Speaker 1: thing that helps people sleep is to get off the alcohol.
Speaker 1: Alcohol takes you down and then it brings you up again.
Speaker 1: It is not good. All right, let's talk about the
Speaker 1: three most powerful nutrients that not only accelerate muscle recovery
Speaker 1: but enhance your immune system so you don't get sick.
Speaker 1: The first one you mentioned is aged garlic extract. What
Speaker 1: the heck is that and what's the research behind it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, there's over nine hundred publications on aged garlic extract,
Speaker 2: lots of clinical studies, you know, tier one, you know,
Speaker 2: primary referee journal studies. UCLA's Department of Cardiology has studied this,
Speaker 2: so aged garlic extract. You can't eat garlic and get
Speaker 2: the same results of what I'm going to talk about.
Speaker 2: Oh aged so age garlic extract, you know, basically get
Speaker 2: phaged for twenty months. All the volatile compounds that make
Speaker 2: you have that stink and rose effect they go away
Speaker 2: and then a new family of phytochemicals get built through
Speaker 2: the process of aging. And so that's the first step
Speaker 2: is that it's a unique compound and what it's been
Speaker 2: traditionally known for as it reduces blood pressure, It's been
Speaker 2: shown in human studies to reduce vulnerable plaque, it helps
Speaker 2: with lipids, so it has a lot of benefits in
Speaker 2: human studies. But this is the first study where they
Speaker 2: really looked at people who are exercising and where the
Speaker 2: benefit was is people in our age group. Because I'm
Speaker 2: sixty four, I'm a few years you're senior, and I
Speaker 2: trained right before I came in to get on the radio.
Speaker 1: Tonight's got to be in shape to be on the radio.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, you never know who's going to see you.
Speaker 2: So age when you take AGE garbic extract. What they
Speaker 2: found out is that it improves something called VO two max.
Speaker 2: So VO two max is a volume of oxygen, so
Speaker 2: the volume of oxygen the maximum uptake that you can
Speaker 2: take in. And then it also helped to reduce muscle
Speaker 2: pain and also help with fatigue. Now that makes sense.
Speaker 2: To improve your oxygen, you're going to get rid of
Speaker 2: your life the gasid better. But it also helped with
Speaker 2: blood vessels to get more flexible and impliable. So not
Speaker 2: so much in a twenty year old to use H
Speaker 2: garlic extract. This study was that you're over.
Speaker 1: Forty we need it right, Yes, okay, we got to
Speaker 1: go to a break.
Speaker 2: This is the top.
Speaker 1: We got to go to break. When we come back,
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about something I take every single
Speaker 1: day and then beetlejuice. No, I don't mean beetlejuice, I
Speaker 1: mean beat jue. You guys are not going to believe this.
Speaker 1: My guest is doctor Jim Laval. He's in Texas, but
Speaker 1: he is advising top athletes around the country, even us.
Speaker 1: You're listening to The Doctor Wendy well Show on KFI
Speaker 1: AM six forty Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: You're listening to Doctor Wendy Walsh on demand from KFI
Speaker 3: AM six forty about the ba's.
Speaker 1: The Doctor Windiwells Show in PFI AM six forty Live
Speaker 1: everywhere on the iHeartRadio app. My guest is both a
Speaker 1: pharmacist and a licensed clinical nutritionist and an advisor to
Speaker 1: athletes around the world the world. Doctor James Laval is
Speaker 1: telling us how we can eat better to have better health,
Speaker 1: better immune system, and mostly have our muscles recover. So
Speaker 1: when we hit that New Year's resolution and we hit
Speaker 1: the gym, we're going to recover fast. So can we
Speaker 1: talk about my favorite nutrient of all time? Probiotics?
Speaker 2: Go for it absolutely, so you know, once again we
Speaker 2: think of probiotics. Hey, I'm trying to get a better
Speaker 2: bowel movement. I may you know, you may realize that
Speaker 2: it helps with the immune system, but when you're taking probiotics,
Speaker 2: it actually helps to modulate inflammation signaling. It comes from
Speaker 2: your gut because seventy percent of your immune response comes
Speaker 2: from your gut. So when they gave recreational runners a
Speaker 2: four week probiotic regiment. What happened was, first of all,
Speaker 2: the number of days you know, if they got a bug,
Speaker 2: number of days treated, the number of days of severity
Speaker 2: all went down and you got the benefit of the
Speaker 2: immune function. Now, the big thing is I teach a
Speaker 2: lot of professional teams. The harder you exercise, the more
Speaker 2: your beneficial flora get challenged. So if you're working out
Speaker 2: thirty to forty five minutes, it's one thing. But if
Speaker 2: you're saying an athlete or you're an endurance runner, and
Speaker 2: you're training two hours or three hours or four hours
Speaker 2: and you're playing a game, it can really start to
Speaker 2: disrupt your microflora or your microbiome. And what that does.
Speaker 2: It changes mood, changes bow habits, ability to be able
Speaker 2: to absorb nutrients. You'll be more prone to colds and flus.
Speaker 2: So I love people, you know, thinking about probiotics because
Speaker 2: they're so important to your health, and also getting fiber
Speaker 2: with them so that you supply the food that probiotics need.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I always says the bugs need the right nutrition
Speaker 1: for their garden. So let me tell you how crazy
Speaker 1: and nerdy I am about probiotics. I go to the
Speaker 1: glassed in fridge. At Whole Foods, I find the one
Speaker 1: that has the most billions in it, and I bring
Speaker 1: a little ice back to carry it home, because I
Speaker 1: don't even want those bugs to die on the way home.
Speaker 1: But let me tell you my reason why I love probiotics.
Speaker 1: Besides it's so good for the immune system. I didn't
Speaker 1: know about the muscle recovery and all that stuff.
Speaker 2: Is.
Speaker 1: You know, ninety percent of our serotonin, which is our
Speaker 1: natural antidepressant, is manufactured in our gut, and psychologists will
Speaker 1: often refer to our gut as our second brain. And
Speaker 1: keeping the flora and fauna in our gut happy keeps
Speaker 1: our moods uplifted. And that's why I'm a big believer
Speaker 1: in probiotics.
Speaker 2: Okay, I agree with you more. You got to keep
Speaker 2: that in tear it nervous systems signal in the right direction. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's good stuff. And now, of course, the other piece
Speaker 2: to this is is that there's another ingredients called plant
Speaker 2: sterols and sterolins, and credible they come from obviously vegetable source,
Speaker 2: and sterols and sterolins In a marathon runner studies showed
Speaker 2: that when they gave them their endurance athletes wh would
Speaker 2: normally be susceptible up a respiratory track infections. It modulated
Speaker 2: their immune system. They didn't get sick, and they could
Speaker 2: get back to their training quicker. I use sterols and sterolins.
Speaker 2: It's known as mogicare. I use that a lot of individuals,
Speaker 2: not just athletes, because eighty percent of the people that
Speaker 2: I see in the clinics or all the docs that
Speaker 2: I teach at the American Accounty of Niaging Medicine, they're
Speaker 2: just everyday people trying to fight off colds and flues.
Speaker 2: They're working out, they're under stress, they're not getting enough sleep,
Speaker 2: maybe not picking the right foods. And that's why I think,
Speaker 2: you know, especially the age garlic extract known as kyola
Speaker 2: in this magicare are really core.
Speaker 1: So if I go to my regular vitamin store and
Speaker 1: I just say plant sterols, it's going to give me
Speaker 1: some kind of pill.
Speaker 2: I take.
Speaker 1: Is that what it is?
Speaker 2: That's a point to be a capsule or a chewable tablet.
Speaker 2: You would you would you would want sterols and steroloins.
Speaker 2: You would ask them for magic care because it's the
Speaker 2: only one that has the studies behind it or the
Speaker 2: right ratios of the plant fats ye magic care.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't have a whole lot of time left,
Speaker 1: but really quickly, I want to go through four quick
Speaker 1: ways to mitigate muscle soreness. What the heck with the
Speaker 1: bee juice? The beat juice? There's juice that's from beats.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen a lot of bee juice powders being advertised,
Speaker 2: and they do work because it increases nitric oxide. And
Speaker 2: when you increase and you increase nitric oxide, you get
Speaker 2: better blood flow to your muscles. And that means you're
Speaker 2: going to get rid of that lactic acid and you're
Speaker 2: going to be able to sustain your exercise longer by
Speaker 2: improving your blood perfusion. The other one drink coffee.
Speaker 1: It's okay, that is the best news I ever got
Speaker 1: today because I have been my entire life a four
Speaker 1: cup a day. Girl. You don't think I talk like
Speaker 1: this on the radio for hours without caffeine behind me.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have to lecture for three hours
Speaker 1: to students. I need my latte in front of me.
Speaker 1: So it's actually good for me.
Speaker 2: Coffee is good for you. You drink a cup of coffee
Speaker 2: before your workout and it will reduce your muscle soreness
Speaker 2: known as DOMS, the late onset muscle soreness, which is
Speaker 2: what you're getting from doing your orange theory and then
Speaker 2: going and doing nearly grev Yeah pilates. Is you've soared
Speaker 2: for two or three days, almost fifty percent reduction in soreness.
Speaker 2: When you drink a cup of coffee before you do
Speaker 2: your workout.
Speaker 1: I have a secret to tell you, so way back when,
Speaker 1: when I was young and fit in in my twenties
Speaker 1: and teaching those ten classes of aerobics, I would actually
Speaker 1: drink I have a stomach of iron. I would drink
Speaker 1: a strong coffee right before teaching those classes. So now
Speaker 1: I can't get it was actually a good.
Speaker 2: Thing, way ahead of your time, my time.

Speaker 1: Oh I know, I hate those things. They hurt so much.
Speaker 2: You can get it. You can get a therapy gun now,
Speaker 2: they's so they're so common now, the massage guns. They
Speaker 2: can really help to to do that before and or
Speaker 2: after your workout. It can really help them move the
