I think 26 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.239 it starts late August, but I'm not sure if you 27 00:02:06.280 --> 00:02:09.719 saw it Vegas at the Sphere Wizard of Oz baby, 28 00:02:09.759 --> 00:02:12.240 and it's happening late August through like the whole month 29 00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.560 of September, which happens to be my birthday month. 30 00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:16.400 There you go. 31 00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.879 We're gonna go watch Wizard of Oz in the Sphere. 32 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:20.240 There you go. 33 00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:27.000 Hopefully the tickets are not ridiculous when. 34 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.000 They're like one hundred and thirty eight or something, which 35 00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.000 I don't think is that bad to go to the Sphere, 36 00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:32.759 but I don't know. 37 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:37.280 I and my husband some people he works with, were 38 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:44.599 just out there for conference and they had who was it, Oh, 39 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:50.120 Gwen Stefani Oh was performing a special show at the 40 00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:52.960 Sphere just for the conference people because it's like a 41 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.360 nation of my conference or whatever. And the tickets were 42 00:02:56.800 --> 00:03:00.159 so retarded. It was like almost three hundred bucks for 43 00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:00.719 a ticket. 44 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.960 Yeah, yeah, it's nuts. But I think old school is. 45 00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:09.520 And it's like the original. This is no Wicked, Okay, 46 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:15.919 Like this is like old school. So I know every word. 47 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:18.360 I've already I already feel bad for whoever I'm gonna 48 00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:24.919 sit by because I will not shut up, like I 49 00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.199 will say the whole movie. 50 00:03:26.520 --> 00:03:29.439 I'm just gonna say that whoever it is that is 51 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:32.080 by you is going to have a really good time, 52 00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:39.560 whether they want to or not. In fact, oh boy, 53 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:47.560 so doctor Shannon, tell people what the heck it's cortisol? 54 00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:51.599 And why is it such a hot topic right now? 55 00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:55.159 Oh gosh, I hope we're going to be on this 56 00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:58.639 for a few because I actually, over the past year 57 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:01.000 have gone down my own court all journeys, so I've 58 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:04.439 learned a lot about what it is, how it works, 59 00:04:04.479 --> 00:04:06.800 and I mean, it is the bitch of all bitches. 60 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.400 And so I think it's a hot topic right now, 61 00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:17.079 and I think it's honestly very timely because I'm gonna 62 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.480 just say what has what soapbox I've been on lately, 63 00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:26.160 especially with women. But what I see as our modern 64 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.199 world progresses and we are not seeming to slow down 65 00:04:29.240 --> 00:04:32.800 at all, is just that we need to slow the 66 00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.519 f down and we need to stand up and take 67 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:41.639 a stand for rest within our day recovery time, especially 68 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:42.879 after a certain. 69 00:04:42.600 --> 00:04:45.759 Age, which is. 70 00:04:45.399 --> 00:04:51.439 Forty, so especially once women go over the age of forty. 71 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.319 And this is for men too, but like especially women, 72 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.879 because of how it's connected to hormones and where it's 73 00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.959 at in the hormonal hierarchy. I would say that that 74 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.800 is one of the most timely reasons why this is 75 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:07.360 a big hot topic. The other thing is is that 76 00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:12.240 our world is not getting more antiquated or ancient. It's 77 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:16.079 getting more modern by the second. But the last I remember, 78 00:05:16.199 --> 00:05:20.839 we don't have sabertooth tigers running around, and so I 79 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:24.560 wish that that's what cortisol is meant for. Is if 80 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:26.480 you're running for your life because you're going to get 81 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:30.279 started by a sabertooth tiger. There is not much that 82 00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.160 happens in our world apart from you know, let's say 83 00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:36.839 you're an active part of a crime or a robbery 84 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:40.439 or something like. In those types of moments, your cortisol 85 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.000 is meant to serve you, and the body is made 86 00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:46.279 perfectly for that to serve you. But when you're just 87 00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.600 at work, what you getting stressed out for? Like what 88 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.439 is the fear? And I can honestly track that back 89 00:05:52.439 --> 00:05:55.399 to a completely different topic, which is money, and that's 90 00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:00.560 probably a different show altogether. So cortisol, we kind of 91 00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:03.959 let be the boss of us. And when you really 92 00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.000 kind of pare it down and look at what it's 93 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.879 doing to us first and foremost. But when you put 94 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.319 apply a little logic to it, which I know is 95 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.920 sort of few and far between these days, but if 96 00:06:13.920 --> 00:06:16.800 you apply that logic to it, it's like, what the 97 00:06:16.839 --> 00:06:18.639 hell are you so stressed out by? 98 00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:19.439 You know? 99 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.079 And I like to take people through an exercise where 100 00:06:22.079 --> 00:06:24.639 it's like, Okay, so what happens if you don't get 101 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:28.240 that work assignment done? Your boss gets mad? Okay, then what? 102 00:06:28.959 --> 00:06:32.240 And then what? And then what? And but are you 103 00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.480 gonna die? The answer is no, you might be out 104 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.560 of a job. And that's where that money connection piece 105 00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:41.720 comes in. But the rest of it, I feel like money, 106 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:46.040 and unnecessarily so, because money's just an energy. So we've 107 00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:49.160 got we've got some mental mindset stuff that we've got 108 00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.600 to work out about cortisol as well. But once you 109 00:06:51.680 --> 00:06:54.079 kind of figure out how it really works in the 110 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.480 body and how you can actually control it for yourself, 111 00:06:58.279 --> 00:07:01.199 and you get that under control, then you start to 112 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.199 be able to think more level and clear headed because 113 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.279 you're no longer in fight or flight mode all of 114 00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:09.920 the time. You're chill. And that's because when you're in 115 00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:12.600 fight or flight, your brain completely shuts down. You can't 116 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.680 think or you can't think clearly, you have no clarity 117 00:07:16.040 --> 00:07:20.560 and son, then we once the cascade has begun, then 118 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.319 what we start to do is we go on the 119 00:07:22.360 --> 00:07:25.199 hunt for supplements. Oh I need this from a memory. 120 00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:28.519 Oh I need that. No, honey, you're overwhelmed because you're 121 00:07:28.519 --> 00:07:32.040 in fight or flight mode, and oh I'm gonna need this. 122 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:36.319 Court is all blocker. Why you could just breathe, you 123 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:39.480 could just slow the fuck down? Can I swear on this? Like, yeah, 124 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:42.600 I just want to make sure I'm being but like, 125 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:46.879 slow the fuck down and take a minute, take a beat, Like, 126 00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:49.560 who is genuinely the boss of you? I mean, didn't 127 00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:53.079 we kind of go through this during COVID where we 128 00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.319 were like, you can't tell me what to do? 129 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:55.439 What happened to that? 130 00:07:55.959 --> 00:07:58.399 What happened to that? And all the people? So okay, 131 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:02.199 long winded point short hair. I definitely think that it's 132 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.800 because we haven't figured out how to slow down, and 133 00:08:06.040 --> 00:08:10.199 if we don't make time for it, then it's going 134 00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:13.040 to become the boss of us. Truly, that will be 135 00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:16.079 the boss of us, and they will deteriorate. I call 136 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:19.199 this our earth suit, it will deteriorate this body so 137 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:21.759 fast you won't even be done with your mission on 138 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.360 Earth before you're gone. So we really kind of owe 139 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.519 it to ourselves and to our life really to like 140 00:08:29.600 --> 00:08:31.879 take care of this body so that it doesn't wear 141 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.799 out prematurely, right, And I would say that's one of 142 00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:39.440 the bigger pieces of it. But you have to understand 143 00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:41.639 the hormonal hierarchy about that too. 144 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.879 So for people who don't know where does cortisol come from. 145 00:08:49.879 --> 00:08:52.600 Cortisol comes from your adrenals, which are I call them 146 00:08:52.600 --> 00:08:55.440 the little hats on your kidneys. It's like these little 147 00:08:55.440 --> 00:09:01.399 triangular hats and it's part of the sympathetic nervous system. 148 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.320 So it's a nervous system trigger. And when your body 149 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:10.480 gets in constant stress mode, your your adrenals start to 150 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:13.559 produce a lot of cortisol because that's what you get 151 00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:17.279 along with the adrenaline that tries to help calm you down. 152 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.960 It also dumbs you down. Though it dumbs you, it 153 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:25.480 makes you go straight into your reptilian brain, straight into survival. 154 00:09:25.679 --> 00:09:28.240 That's what you're just like freak out and run and 155 00:09:28.360 --> 00:09:31.519 try to save yourself. You know. It's what people do 156 00:09:31.559 --> 00:09:34.399 when they get in a panicked situation, and you know, 157 00:09:34.440 --> 00:09:36.559 if you're trapped with lots of people, like everybody just 158 00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.720 shuts down, freaks out, panics, and then tramples each other. 159 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:44.039 So your cortisol. Let me back up a step and say, 160 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:48.000 the human body actually is its own pharmacy. It is 161 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:54.279 perfectly and brilliantly created to give you every single medicine 162 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.200 that your body actually needs to survive, to thrive, to 163 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:01.559 be happy, to be sad, to like handle any situation 164 00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:05.679 that occurs. And so this is one of those kind 165 00:10:05.720 --> 00:10:08.960 of medications or drugs that your body produces in order 166 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:12.320 to help you in a situation where you can't like 167 00:10:12.519 --> 00:10:15.440 stop and pause and think like, hmm, how do I 168 00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:18.159 get out of this situation? It's like just go, just go. 169 00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:20.960 Somebody's chessing me. Whatever should I do? 170 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.000 While while they're like right in front of you. And 171 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.799 so this is a natural response to the body. But 172 00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:32.240 we have seen in our modern conveniences that that has 173 00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:35.919 completely flipped to where we are on stress mode all 174 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:39.120 the time. One of the things that I did to 175 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:43.360 control my cortisol is I did get the aura ring. 176 00:10:44.279 --> 00:10:46.559 And that was the biggest reason why I got it, 177 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.320 because I had heard that it tracked that data, and 178 00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:52.159 I wanted to know where my stress was hitting during 179 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:54.440 the day, and so that I could kind of it 180 00:10:54.519 --> 00:10:57.039 allows you to put these little tags, like what was 181 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.440 going on that hour when you spiked into that stressed mode. 182 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:05.360 And here's what I found. I was a stressed out sleeper. 183 00:11:06.080 --> 00:11:08.759 And people do not think about this at all, but 184 00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:11.799 your recordisol could be spiking in your sleep. 185 00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:16.200 I think that is probably a good summation of me. 186 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:20.279 Because I get so hot and I flip off the 187 00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:22.960 covers and I'm like, oh my god, I can't sleep 188 00:11:23.000 --> 00:11:25.799 because I'm so hot. And then I'm like, okay, now 189 00:11:25.799 --> 00:11:27.840 I'm cold, and then I cover up and then I'm like, 190 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.000 oh my shoulder heerd s Nope, I better turn over. 191 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:36.639 And it's like constantly disturbing me, or because we have 192 00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:41.759 animals and they disturb me while I'm sleeping, or you 193 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:45.519 know whatever. Like right before I go to bed, I 194 00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.679 like to call it my Jesus dump because I'll be 195 00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.000 trying to say my prayers and then all of these 196 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.720 stupid things that I've not thought about at all ever 197 00:11:56.559 --> 00:11:59.159 pop into my head and I'm like, what do I 198 00:11:59.320 --> 00:11:59.919 need to know about? 199 00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:00.120 Well? 200 00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.480 Carrots right now. I wasn't even thinking about carrots. And 201 00:12:04.559 --> 00:12:09.519 it's like all this stupid stuff just randomly like pops 202 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.879 in while I'm praying, and I'm like, what the heck? 203 00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:16.080 And that it causes me to not not get to 204 00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:17.159 sleep like I should. 205 00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:20.679 And isn't that the big conundrum because we all know 206 00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:25.440 that having great sleep is how you lose weight or 207 00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:27.679 I'm gonna say release weight. I'm gonna keep catching myself. 208 00:12:27.759 --> 00:12:30.720 I'm training myself to stop saying lose because ain't nobody 209 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:34.399 want to find that again? You know, right, but if 210 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:38.399 your cortisol is high while you're sleeping, that's a double whammie. 211 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.159 You're not You're not only are you not going to 212 00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:42.879 gain weight or reduce the weight, but you're gonna gain 213 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:47.559 it potentially because you're still stressed out. And I used 214 00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:49.480 to joke and say, well, whatever I'm doing in the 215 00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:51.960 night seasons is like I must be going to battle 216 00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.559 or something, because I would even wake up like I 217 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:56.279 don't know what the f I just did, but I 218 00:12:56.399 --> 00:12:57.240 did not sleep. 219 00:12:57.440 --> 00:12:58.840 But I'm sorry everywhere. 220 00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:03.919 Yeah, it's a thing, and so what I not only 221 00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.159 did I get this all under wraps, but I sleep 222 00:13:07.240 --> 00:13:09.840 with two wiener dogs and another adult in the same bed, 223 00:13:10.399 --> 00:13:14.639 and I get optimal sleep every night. And I blamed everything. 224 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.159 I was like, oh, I'm of that age. Must be perimenopause, 225 00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:21.519 you know, it must be my hormones there. And I 226 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.600 am not kidding. I do believe my hormones were starting 227 00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.639 to cascade. I do think that that had that was 228 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:30.639 the trigger for me. I am somebody who definitely listens 229 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.399 to my body. I'm aware when my body makes even 230 00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:36.639 the strangest, little minutest little change, I'm like, what's that, 231 00:13:37.039 --> 00:13:39.159 you know? And then I then I go to fit 232 00:13:39.279 --> 00:13:42.200 try to figure it out. And so I have. And 233 00:13:42.279 --> 00:13:44.480 it It's taken me over the course of the year 234 00:13:45.039 --> 00:13:49.840 to really realize, like, the control and the power to 235 00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.159 reduce the cortisol level is mine. I ultimately have the 236 00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:58.000 control over that. And it took the form of me 237 00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:03.080 making time to just stop and breathe, stop and meditate, 238 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:07.559 to just do nothing sometimes just sit and read. Whereas 239 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:09.399 before I would be like, oh, I'm too busy, I 240 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:11.480 can't sit down and read even five pages right now, 241 00:14:12.000 --> 00:14:14.159 I would I would force myself to sit down and 242 00:14:14.279 --> 00:14:16.799 read one chapter of a book just because it gets 243 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:21.679 you into restoration mode. So this ring really gives you 244 00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:24.639 some great information. And so if I have a particularly 245 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:27.720 busy day. So I recently went to Japan to visit 246 00:14:27.759 --> 00:14:30.399 my daughter who is studying abroad there for the year, 247 00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:34.960 and I'm telling you, we averaged eighteen thousand steps a day. 248 00:14:35.320 --> 00:14:37.080 It was like, you're walking. 249 00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:38.559 Everywhere, everywhere. 250 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:43.159 It was all walking, all the time, walking to the buses, 251 00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.919 even which you know, that's another story. But so my 252 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:49.879 ring was like, ah, you had a lot of activity yesterday, 253 00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:52.799 perhaps today you want to just rest and not do much, 254 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.720 you know. So it's kind of fun because it's giving 255 00:14:55.759 --> 00:14:58.360 you the permission to like, maybe not go do your 256 00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.000 workout today because you worked out way too hard. So 257 00:15:01.840 --> 00:15:04.600 let's just talk about that connection, because that's the other thing. 258 00:15:04.639 --> 00:15:07.919 And I'm probably gonna not make friends on this. The 259 00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.039 friends that I do have, Janet, you haven't divorced me yet, 260 00:15:11.080 --> 00:15:15.440 but now most of them are like, you ruin everything 261 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:19.399 that's good, you know, And I'm like, well, I know 262 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.519 I ruined the fast food and I ruin stuff, but 263 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:25.159 here I might ruin a lot of people. And I 264 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:27.600 taught this to a whole bunch of fitness instructors, So 265 00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:30.039 you can imagine I was like ready to be tard 266 00:15:30.080 --> 00:15:32.080 and feathered at the end of it, But I said, 267 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.240 you guys are working out way too much, and especially 268 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:41.279 once you're over forty, when everybody thinks societal society says 269 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.559 that it is normal to hurt yourself because that means 270 00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:48.080 your muscle fibers are tearing and they have to rebuild 271 00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.240 and that's a normal part of it. And it's like, well, 272 00:15:50.320 --> 00:15:55.320 that's not actually true. More lactic acid you have probably 273 00:15:55.440 --> 00:16:00.840 not good, but you're actually causing in in the body. 274 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:03.919 And we do know that inflammation is probably the culprit 275 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:08.799 behind every thing. Ye everything, okay, And guess what causes 276 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:14.039 inflammation of corse. So cortisol is running rampant when you're 277 00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:17.840 when you have tendon itis or itis of anything, you've 278 00:16:17.919 --> 00:16:21.240 got any kind of autoimmune or chronic condition. I'm going 279 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:24.120 to tell you to look in word and figure out 280 00:16:24.360 --> 00:16:27.639 like where your inflammation is at, because that that is 281 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:32.159 the hidden trigger that tells you that cortisol's taken over 282 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.679 your your entire body. So after age forty and I 283 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.960 had to get myself used to this, which, uh, for 284 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:41.360 the most part, I really dedicated myself to this. Last 285 00:16:41.440 --> 00:16:44.000 year when I was trying to figure this out. I 286 00:16:44.120 --> 00:16:47.720 used to be a runner and I really genuinely enjoyed 287 00:16:47.759 --> 00:16:51.240 it because I I used to be a pretty type 288 00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:54.759 a personality and it would clear I was like a labrador. 289 00:16:54.840 --> 00:16:56.399 I just had to get rid of that energy. 290 00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.960 You know, you're brain very high energy people, and I 291 00:17:04.039 --> 00:17:05.000 can tell you now the. 292 00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.400 Energy is very different. So I still have a lot 293 00:17:07.480 --> 00:17:09.319 of it. But when it's time for me to go 294 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.079 to bed, I'm appropriately ready to go to bed, and 295 00:17:12.160 --> 00:17:14.160 it's not just jacked all the time, and like, oh, 296 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.079 I got to go expend some energy. And so I 297 00:17:17.240 --> 00:17:20.920 used to run a lot, and I forced myself to 298 00:17:21.079 --> 00:17:23.720 change how I think about exercise because at my age, 299 00:17:23.759 --> 00:17:26.440 I really don't I don't need it, and I think 300 00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:29.039 that you know, we know we've been lied to about 301 00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:33.160 almost everything, right, absolutely, why would this surprise people? Right? 302 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:35.680 Because this is taking now the fitness industry and what 303 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:38.839 they're telling you, and it's completely flip flopping that on 304 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:43.799 its head. You do not need more than thirty minutes 305 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.000 of working out a day, and most of it should 306 00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:50.119 be in strength training, and why because you are protecting 307 00:17:50.400 --> 00:17:54.200 your bones? Could re stop with this calcium bullshit? So 308 00:17:54.359 --> 00:17:58.160 I'm not denying that calcium is an aid that helps, 309 00:17:58.240 --> 00:18:02.119 but by over for age four, that calcium's not helping 310 00:18:02.200 --> 00:18:04.680 you get strong bones. Your bones are as strong as 311 00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:07.640 they gonna get. But in order to protect what you 312 00:18:07.839 --> 00:18:11.200 have and to keep them strong, you've got to now 313 00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:15.279 build muscle, and you've got to have proper lean muscle mass. 314 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.279 It doesn't matter if you're ripped or anything. As long 315 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:22.240 as you have good ratio of lean body muscle mass, 316 00:18:22.640 --> 00:18:26.279 then that is actually what protects you from the osteoporosis 317 00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.400 the most. And so it's funny people always want to 318 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:32.799 ask me for the supplement recommendation, and I'm like, no, 319 00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:35.519 I would not actually tell you to take calcium at 320 00:18:35.599 --> 00:18:38.920 your age, you know, if it's somebody over forty, and 321 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:43.119 even sometimes not really before that. So I use calcium 322 00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.200 for a whole different reason for people, and that's to 323 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:50.240 restore pH balance to their gut and their internal environment, 324 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:55.359 not to protect their bones. Calcium also helps the uptake 325 00:18:55.519 --> 00:19:01.039 of other minerals and vitamins, but it's not what at 326 00:19:01.079 --> 00:19:03.240 this point in your life is making your bone strong. 327 00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:06.960 So let's knock that off so you know it's it, really, 328 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:10.160 but you only need thirty minutes a day and thirty minutes, 329 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:12.880 sure you might get lightly sore, but it should be 330 00:19:12.960 --> 00:19:16.119 gone by like, you know, midpoint next day. But it 331 00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:18.759 should be that good kind where it doesn't hurt you 332 00:19:18.839 --> 00:19:22.839 to sit down on the toilet your arm, to drink 333 00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:26.559 your coffee or something like. That's that's inflammation. So now 334 00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:30.680 what you're doing, you are stressing your body out and 335 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.799 cortisol floods in because stress, right, stress, stress, stress, So 336 00:19:35.119 --> 00:19:37.319 your body is now freaked out in stress because you 337 00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:40.279 just fucked it the other day and you're all like, yeah, man, 338 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.839 I just got ripped. I just did the work, like 339 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:46.519 two hour workout, and it's like, okay, that doesn't impress 340 00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:49.240 me at all because you just made your body cry, 341 00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:54.319 and your body is going to first heal itself. Your 342 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:57.680 body always does that first. Your body's constantly working to 343 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:01.599 survive and to keep you alive, and that means healing cuts, 344 00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:05.680 healing scrapes and bruises and injuries, and it's always working 345 00:20:05.759 --> 00:20:09.279 to repair first. So then the question becomes, you know, 346 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:15.240 do you have the proper nutrition in terms of keeping ligaments, tendons, 347 00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.839 and your collagen stuff in shape. But that's another topic. 348 00:20:19.039 --> 00:20:22.079 So your body's going to try to rid itself of 349 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.640 the inflammation before it gets down to other business like 350 00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:30.079 reducing weight. So you're now you've now distracted your body. 351 00:20:30.319 --> 00:20:33.960 And again, guess who's king? Court is all but in 352 00:20:34.079 --> 00:20:38.640 the hormonal hierarchy, guess who should be king? It's oxytocin 353 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:43.599 and oxytocin. When I saw this, and you can pull 354 00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:47.559 up a diagram anywhere on Google, it's called the hormonal hierarchy, 355 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:52.000 and oxytocin is at the very top. And oxytocin is 356 00:20:52.039 --> 00:20:54.920 what you get when you're snuggling your pets or you're 357 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:58.279 doing something squishy and you're just joy. It's just like 358 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:01.240 it makes you happy. Right. That means you get out 359 00:21:01.279 --> 00:21:03.000 of bed in the morning and you do a little 360 00:21:03.079 --> 00:21:05.359 dance and that's how you start your day and you 361 00:21:05.559 --> 00:21:09.799 love it. Do that. For me, what that looks like 362 00:21:09.960 --> 00:21:12.119 is I get up, I grab my cup of coffee, 363 00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:15.359 I return to my bed, and I snuggle my waiter 364 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:19.279 dogs while I'm drinking my coffee in silence where no 365 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.599 one else is at me for a decision or anything else. 366 00:21:23.720 --> 00:21:26.119 I can just quietly drink my cup of coffee, snuggle 367 00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:28.799 my fur babies, and that if I don't start my 368 00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:32.000 day that way. It kind of makes me struggle a 369 00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:34.759 little bit because that's just how I calm, and I 370 00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:35.960 start my day calm. 371 00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:40.759 I'm glad to you said that, because I'm a huge 372 00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.440 firm believer in the fact that you have to have 373 00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.960 your morning routine every day and what you do and 374 00:21:50.200 --> 00:21:53.839 how you start it. And if you ever notice, like 375 00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.400 if you're one of those people that like, this is 376 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.559 what I do every day and order and how it goes. 377 00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:03.799 But say you got up really late and you can't 378 00:22:03.960 --> 00:22:08.599 do all of those things, you should typically fill your 379 00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:12.920 body starting to stress out. Yeah, because it's used to 380 00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.759 that routine. Like for me, it's the same thing every 381 00:22:16.839 --> 00:22:19.319 single day. I get up, I go to the bathroom, 382 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:24.759 I feed the cats, I go outside and sit outside 383 00:22:25.640 --> 00:22:28.799 and enjoy that fresh air and stuff. And if there's 384 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.839 ever a time where I can't do, especially the allowed 385 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.160 amount of time, it throws my whole day off. And 386 00:22:36.279 --> 00:22:39.759 I don't do social media and I don't get into 387 00:22:39.960 --> 00:22:44.240 end depth conversations in the morning with people who are 388 00:22:44.920 --> 00:22:47.559 having a existential crisis with something. 389 00:22:48.240 --> 00:22:49.279 I just don't do that. 390 00:22:49.519 --> 00:22:54.119 I shut off that communication pathway until my morning routine 391 00:22:54.240 --> 00:22:54.599 is done. 392 00:22:54.720 --> 00:22:56.039 And I'm ready yep. 393 00:22:56.480 --> 00:23:00.400 And your cortisol typically spikes within two hours hours of 394 00:23:00.480 --> 00:23:05.079 waking up, and that's normal, so it's supposed to because 395 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.200 you're up and moving and at that point you know 396 00:23:07.319 --> 00:23:09.960 your your body. But when you're spinning on like what 397 00:23:10.039 --> 00:23:11.960 do I gotta do today, and you don't have that 398 00:23:12.079 --> 00:23:15.559 morning ritual, and it's just chaos your alarm. First of all, 399 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.799 let's start at the alarm, because I know some people 400 00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:22.279 can't help having to wake up to an alarm. I 401 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:25.079 am very blessed these days that I don't. However, I'm 402 00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:28.079 still up in the five am hour at like work. 403 00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.359 It's my chronotype and I'm a morning person, and so 404 00:23:31.799 --> 00:23:34.440 I don't. Actually, my body wakes up when it needs 405 00:23:34.519 --> 00:23:36.680 to at the appropriate time. And if it wakes up, 406 00:23:36.680 --> 00:23:39.359 if my body wakes up late, I needed that sleep. 407 00:23:39.920 --> 00:23:43.119 So if at all possible, if you don't have to 408 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.720 wake up to an alarm, don't, because what that alarm 409 00:23:45.880 --> 00:23:48.279 is doing is it's shocking your nervous I was. 410 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.480 Just gonna say that I hate a lot yep. 411 00:23:51.559 --> 00:23:53.319 And then you have to take a BE complex, a 412 00:23:53.400 --> 00:23:56.599 methylated be complex, because you got to regulate your nervous 413 00:23:56.640 --> 00:23:59.519 system and with all of the blue light technology we have, 414 00:24:00.160 --> 00:24:03.160 the iPads, the cell phones, the all the things and stuff. 415 00:24:03.240 --> 00:24:06.119 Now I am a gadget girl. I literally just bought 416 00:24:06.160 --> 00:24:11.039 myself some meta sunglasses. I couldn't help it. I love gadgets. 417 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:12.920 I had to. I had to see what they were like, 418 00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.640 the ray band ones, you know, they're so much fun. 419 00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:19.480 It's They're the simplest little things. But I'm having a 420 00:24:19.559 --> 00:24:21.920 grand old time with it. But we have so much 421 00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:25.279 blue light technology that that that cause it that. I 422 00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:27.519 love that you said that you don't do social media 423 00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:30.000 or anything like that in the morning, because when you 424 00:24:30.119 --> 00:24:33.319 start to poison yourself with that first thing in the morning, 425 00:24:33.440 --> 00:24:37.000 oh yeah, and you're already jacked from an alarm. Now 426 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:40.480 you're gonna go give yourself some coffee, which already makes 427 00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.200 a lot of stemulant. You're just jacked before you even 428 00:24:45.319 --> 00:24:48.400 and then after that some people go and work out. 429 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.000 Now you're seeing the domino and how we're piling on 430 00:24:51.640 --> 00:24:54.960 the activity that's causing this cortisol to be just stupid, 431 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:59.519 stupid levels of cortisol, and your body actually can get 432 00:24:59.559 --> 00:25:03.279 to a point where it's sort of like an alcoholic 433 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:05.119 in a way, like it gets used to the amount 434 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:07.759 of cortisoult and it just keeps producing more and more 435 00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:10.559 and more and more and more, and then your body 436 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:12.960 it's gonna take a lot more for your body to 437 00:25:13.079 --> 00:25:16.119 actually get to that point. So it seems that with 438 00:25:16.240 --> 00:25:20.160 a lot of our typical morning ritual behaviors, that is 439 00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:23.240 causing the stress load to start before you even get going, 440 00:25:23.599 --> 00:25:25.680 before you get to work, before any of that kind 441 00:25:25.680 --> 00:25:29.480 of stuff. So I always tell people, start your day 442 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:31.920 with something that you love to do. Don't tell me 443 00:25:32.000 --> 00:25:34.000 you just love to grab your phone and see, like 444 00:25:34.160 --> 00:25:36.799 what shit is on Facebook? Right? 445 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:39.519 What can piss you off first thing in the morning. 446 00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:43.160 Yeah, Or you can't wait to get jacked because you're 447 00:25:43.440 --> 00:25:45.720 an opinionated person and you have to see what somebody 448 00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:47.920 said about the you know, commander in chief. 449 00:25:48.039 --> 00:25:49.599 Like, I'm so right at this point. 450 00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.000 I'm going to tell you right now, there's Once I 451 00:25:52.079 --> 00:25:55.839 got this under control, I started to discern what is 452 00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:59.200 distraction and what is something that I need to focus 453 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:03.000 on doing well. Boy, then that took me down a notch, 454 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.319 right because I stopped getting triggered and hooked by a 455 00:26:06.400 --> 00:26:10.000 shit that like is just a distraction. It means nothing. 456 00:26:10.279 --> 00:26:15.400 It means absolute, and so you know, I I think 457 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:18.680 we have to so oxytocin. I'm going back to that hierarchy. 458 00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:23.480 Oxytocin is king if you don't keep oxytocin at the 459 00:26:23.559 --> 00:26:27.039 forefront doing things that you love to do. And I'm 460 00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:29.640 not talking necessarily about work, but you got to fit 461 00:26:29.759 --> 00:26:32.359 in some things like whether it's a hobby or something 462 00:26:32.839 --> 00:26:35.640 that you genuinely love to do. And if that's something 463 00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.960 that you're not doing, I will say, get make time 464 00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:41.400 for that too. And I have an example of that 465 00:26:41.519 --> 00:26:44.200 that I did as well. But you have to you 466 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.680 have to be able to figure out what brings you joyce, 467 00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:49.960 so that so that not only are you lowering your cortisol, 468 00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:55.000 but you're spiking the oxytocin. So because oxytocin is first, 469 00:26:56.480 --> 00:27:02.799 then cortisol, and so cortisol can gain control really quickly 470 00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.599 because of its positioning in this right. And then the 471 00:27:05.759 --> 00:27:12.079 third one is insulin. Well, guess what insulin shrinks when 472 00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:13.000 cortisol is big. 473 00:27:13.079 --> 00:27:16.839 I was gonna say it's directly related to that. Yes, 474 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:24.440 all of the people that have UH, pancreatic insufficiency, insolent intolerance, 475 00:27:24.559 --> 00:27:27.960 blah blah blah blah, all the new terminology out there. 476 00:27:28.640 --> 00:27:30.480 Yeah, they just put a new label on it. But 477 00:27:30.640 --> 00:27:35.400 really it's because you're stressed, right, stress, honey, calm down, 478 00:27:35.960 --> 00:27:38.200 and you know you're not quite diabetic. They're not even 479 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:41.119 gonna give you like the borderline diabetic. We're not going 480 00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:44.079 to put you on met foreman. I mean, god forbid 481 00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:47.480 you try burberine verst. But like before any of that, 482 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:50.640 what it's doing is it's causing insulin resistance, which I 483 00:27:50.799 --> 00:27:53.839 was also starting to experience. I was starting to have 484 00:27:54.119 --> 00:27:57.480 all of the hormonal signs, all of the you know, 485 00:27:57.960 --> 00:28:01.319 every single sign. When I started digging at this, I 486 00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.759 was like, oh my god, it's cortisol. And I being 487 00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:08.279 the type a person that I was, and I say 488 00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:10.400 it was because I kind of don't feel like I'm 489 00:28:10.440 --> 00:28:13.240 that way anymore. And I'm a virgo. I mean, like, 490 00:28:13.440 --> 00:28:16.400 if if anything, I like me a plan and I 491 00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.319 like to be organized. I like to know what's gonna happen. 492 00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.480 And I can still be that way, but be chilled out. 493 00:28:23.640 --> 00:28:26.319 You know, it's thunderstorm season where I live, and we 494 00:28:26.400 --> 00:28:30.759 get golf ball sized hail, and honestly, I can tell 495 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.039 you I don't even care if it hits my car, 496 00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:35.559 and yet there's so many people that are freaking about 497 00:28:35.559 --> 00:28:37.319 where do I freaking out about where do I park 498 00:28:37.359 --> 00:28:38.680 my car? Oh my god, I have to get my car. 499 00:28:38.759 --> 00:28:41.559 And it's raining, it's raining, it might and I'm just like, well, 500 00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.519 I can't control that. Actually, I mean technically you can, 501 00:28:44.640 --> 00:28:48.559 but that's another podcast. But like, I don't worry about it. 502 00:28:48.640 --> 00:28:53.599 It's a car, and you know it's I don't care 503 00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:55.960 about the vehicle that I drive other than that it works. 504 00:28:56.240 --> 00:28:58.359 I mean, and you know that is that is like 505 00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:01.200 so key for a lot of people because they'll say, 506 00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:06.720 I'm not stressed out, but it's literally like you worry 507 00:29:07.039 --> 00:29:10.440 about everything. If you are a worri or a worry wart, 508 00:29:11.240 --> 00:29:14.759 yes you are, whether you realize it or not. Because 509 00:29:14.799 --> 00:29:17.359 you're worried about what to make for dinner, you worried 510 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:20.400 about what other people think of you, You're worried about this, 511 00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:25.599 you're worried about that, and your Cortisol goes absolutely berserk. 512 00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:27.599 Yep yep, and it's killing you. 513 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:28.720 Oh we're dumb stuff. 514 00:29:29.400 --> 00:29:31.920 Oh, we're dumb stuff. And that's I think you hit 515 00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.200 the nail on the head because at a certain point 516 00:29:34.799 --> 00:29:37.240 you and I was guilty of it too. I said, 517 00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:39.640 I'm not stressed out. I don't feel stressed out, And 518 00:29:39.759 --> 00:29:42.720 it's like I was used to being in that state 519 00:29:42.839 --> 00:29:46.279 at all times, so I didn't realize what stressed out was. 520 00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:49.240 Even though you couldn't pinch a trap to save my life. 521 00:29:49.319 --> 00:29:51.359 I mean, it was like cement in there, you know. 522 00:29:52.160 --> 00:29:55.200 And what I've noticed now is, and especially because I 523 00:29:55.279 --> 00:29:58.160 started a massage school, so I, you know, teaching it 524 00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:00.960 and showing other people, it's like, my muscles are way 525 00:30:01.079 --> 00:30:01.759 more pliable. 526 00:30:01.920 --> 00:30:05.279 They should be able to be needed, absolutely. 527 00:30:05.119 --> 00:30:09.799 Kate n e a d ed needed and mine weren't. 528 00:30:09.880 --> 00:30:12.519 They were rock hard, and not because I was ripped, 529 00:30:12.519 --> 00:30:16.039 because I was not. So I you know that that 530 00:30:16.200 --> 00:30:18.079 kind of is a dead giveaway. Where do you keep 531 00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.039 your tension? Where do you keep your stress? Most people 532 00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:25.519 lit's neck and shoulders right, and where are shoulders like earrings. 533 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.559 I can't even wreize my shoulders as high as I 534 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:30.720 used to before because I just I don't know. They 535 00:30:31.079 --> 00:30:31.759 just fall now. 536 00:30:32.599 --> 00:30:35.960 That's because you're calm, And that's that's the one thing 537 00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:40.440 I'm like about the workout. When you were talking about that, 538 00:30:40.839 --> 00:30:47.200 if if you literally look into fat burning and stuff 539 00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:52.960 like that it's a slower pace to actually burn fat, 540 00:30:53.079 --> 00:30:55.880 which people don't realize. So they get on the treadmill 541 00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.440 and they just absolutely gun it and they run and 542 00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:01.880 they've got it up to you know, four point eight 543 00:31:02.039 --> 00:31:05.440 or whatever, and they're just as fast as they can. 544 00:31:06.279 --> 00:31:10.079 That's not your fat burning face like at all, No 545 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:16.079 walking is. And one, like you had mentioned, women more 546 00:31:16.160 --> 00:31:20.400 so than men. Women are so much more likely to 547 00:31:20.480 --> 00:31:26.680 have cortisol issues. And why because we are the nurturers, right, 548 00:31:26.920 --> 00:31:32.480 and so it is our job as people to constantly 549 00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:35.480 try to organize to you know, put things in order 550 00:31:35.599 --> 00:31:38.400 to worry about this person that person. 551 00:31:38.599 --> 00:31:40.640 Do the kids have lunch, do we have dinner? 552 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:43.759 Blah blah blah blah blah, all these things, and then 553 00:31:43.839 --> 00:31:47.240 what if people do before they go work out. One 554 00:31:47.359 --> 00:31:52.920 of the things that it's super popular is supplementation before 555 00:31:53.119 --> 00:32:00.799 and after workouts, which also affects your freaking cortisol level. Yeah, well, 556 00:32:00.960 --> 00:32:04.400 it's the stimulator of your cortisol which is going to 557 00:32:04.519 --> 00:32:08.119 leave you almost like you're still running on the treadmill 558 00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.480 even though you haven't been on the dreadmill for eight 559 00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:11.720 hours yep. 560 00:32:12.559 --> 00:32:15.160 And how much of that is placebo effect? Because I 561 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:18.920 do pH testing in my practice, and if you are 562 00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:24.119 not at a proper balanced pH level internally, then supplements 563 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.759 you're just peeing it out, that's all you're doing. And 564 00:32:27.319 --> 00:32:29.559 I heard this saying one time, where Americans have the 565 00:32:29.599 --> 00:32:32.680 most expensive PA and it's because we're cramin all these 566 00:32:32.680 --> 00:32:35.519 supplements down our bodies. We're not paying any attention to 567 00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:38.279 the fillers that are in them or whether they're actually 568 00:32:38.359 --> 00:32:40.759 effective and why are they effective. This is one of 569 00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:43.640 the reasons that I love quantum medicine so much, because 570 00:32:43.640 --> 00:32:46.559 that's what I do. Also is I'll just deliver you 571 00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:50.039 a frequency of a vitamin C I am printed into water, 572 00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:52.759 and I just make you drink some water to take 573 00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:56.559 your medicine, which is frequency imprinted into water molecules. And 574 00:32:56.680 --> 00:33:01.720 it's no different than having the actual substance, even though 575 00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:04.279 the substance, you know, eventually will just pee out of 576 00:33:04.319 --> 00:33:07.400 your body. The frequency you hold until your body can't 577 00:33:07.400 --> 00:33:11.079 sustain it, and then you either like optimize and come 578 00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:13.440 up to that level or you're gonna need another hit 579 00:33:13.519 --> 00:33:17.279 of it. So you know, there's something to be said 580 00:33:17.359 --> 00:33:20.079 for for However, many people, and a lot a lot 581 00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:23.000 of people old and new, have said it. The future 582 00:33:23.039 --> 00:33:27.519 of medicine is frequency, So calm down on the supplements too, 583 00:33:27.799 --> 00:33:31.119 Like you can muscle test yourself and figure out what 584 00:33:31.359 --> 00:33:36.680 supplements your body is really needing because our bodies don't. 585 00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.480 Our bodies are trying to tell us I don't need that, 586 00:33:40.680 --> 00:33:43.319 I don't need that, but we are not listening. We 587 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.000 are not listening to what the body is saying. So 588 00:33:47.359 --> 00:33:49.240 I heard this recently. I don't know if you know 589 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:53.440 who Dolores Cannon is. I really am loving her. Gosh, 590 00:33:53.599 --> 00:33:56.599 she's oh. I love listening to her stuff. But she 591 00:33:56.799 --> 00:34:00.279 even said one time, tell your body that you love it. 592 00:34:00.400 --> 00:34:02.920 Your body loves to hear that you love it. Tell 593 00:34:03.000 --> 00:34:06.160 your lip that you love it. Tell your organs that 594 00:34:06.240 --> 00:34:09.559 you love them, and you're There is something to be 595 00:34:09.639 --> 00:34:13.920 said about delivering the tone of your voice, your actual identity, 596 00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:16.960 the voice that you have, which is as unique as 597 00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:20.239 your fingerprint. Is right if you if you look at 598 00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.119 the frequency of everyone's voice, not one voice is the same. 599 00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:27.599 And your body resonates with what you tell it, and 600 00:34:27.840 --> 00:34:30.679 just like you're subconscious right, Well, tell your body that 601 00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.039 you love it. Tell your body that you appreciate what 602 00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:37.039 it does for you. And there is this Like a 603 00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.400 lot of people don't think that they're that that's a 604 00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.760 different thing. But you're you're a consciousness that's living in 605 00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:45.840 this That's what it is. Your your consciousness living in 606 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.679 this body. So and this body is a living entity. 607 00:34:50.360 --> 00:34:53.800 So without your without your spirit in it, it's not 608 00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:56.000 you know, it obviously doesn't have the brain function, but 609 00:34:56.159 --> 00:34:58.480 it is serving you to be able to be on 610 00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.400 earth because we have to be able to breathe in 611 00:35:01.519 --> 00:35:04.119 this atmosphere, and that's what the carbon based system does, 612 00:35:04.159 --> 00:35:07.360 et cetera. But tell your body that you love it 613 00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.400 and that you appreciate what it does, and that's that's 614 00:35:10.480 --> 00:35:12.599 a better start than going, Huh, I'm going to go 615 00:35:12.639 --> 00:35:14.639 to Walmart and pick me up this giant jug of 616 00:35:14.760 --> 00:35:15.239 vitamin C. 617 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:22.840 Mostly, you know, or people that constantly go, man, I 618 00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:27.239 have a headache. Man, my back hurts, man like everything hurts, 619 00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:32.440 and they focus on that and repeat it repeatedly, And 620 00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.280 what happens. 621 00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:36.960 Does it go away? No, it doesn't go away, gets worse, right. 622 00:35:36.880 --> 00:35:40.440 Because you're focusing on it constantly. What you focus on gross. 623 00:35:41.239 --> 00:35:44.159 And I heard a gal recently say that she had 624 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.679 this random lower pain in her back and she said, 625 00:35:47.199 --> 00:35:50.400 I get that occasionally. And you know, normally I just 626 00:35:50.480 --> 00:35:54.159 send white light to the area in meditation and it 627 00:35:54.320 --> 00:35:56.639 typically will go away. And she said, but this time 628 00:35:56.960 --> 00:36:00.239 it wasn't really working, and I thought, hmm. So she said, 629 00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:03.880 I focused on the actual pain and like the sharpness 630 00:36:04.000 --> 00:36:07.360 of it, and I really I just kind of paid 631 00:36:07.960 --> 00:36:11.320 like supreme attention to it. And she said, it immediately left. 632 00:36:11.760 --> 00:36:13.920 And your body. And I tell this to people, to 633 00:36:14.000 --> 00:36:15.639 a lot of my clients, I don't have to be 634 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:18.719 a psychic or a prophet. Your body keeps the score 635 00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:21.039 and I know how to read it if you know 636 00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:24.199 where your body stores things and what your body is saying, 637 00:36:24.400 --> 00:36:27.920 like when you have something specifically that is not an injury, 638 00:36:28.079 --> 00:36:30.360 but it hurts, right, So if you didn't injure your 639 00:36:30.440 --> 00:36:34.360 left knee and it hurts, that is a forgiveness issue 640 00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:37.480 that you have with a female person. And that part 641 00:36:37.920 --> 00:36:40.760 most people know who they need to forgive or what 642 00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:43.800 the issue is. And you should see their faces when 643 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:45.519 I tell them that stuff. They look at me like, 644 00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.480 how on earth did you know that? And I'm like, 645 00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:51.599 but your body, your body's telling you. I am kind 646 00:36:51.639 --> 00:36:54.320 of like the translator right now telling me your body's 647 00:36:54.360 --> 00:36:56.559 been telling you this for it. We call it a 648 00:36:56.599 --> 00:36:59.480 body signal. Your body is signaling you now if you 649 00:36:59.639 --> 00:37:02.639 have pain, you have let it go too far. You 650 00:37:02.760 --> 00:37:06.239 have ignored your body for so long. Your body tells 651 00:37:06.280 --> 00:37:10.039 you every time if you just pay attention to it. Right, So, yeah, 652 00:37:10.119 --> 00:37:12.960 when you focus on oh well that hurts, that hurts wow, 653 00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:15.440 Or you go and try to numb it with the 654 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:19.679 tailenol and the advil stuff, that wouldn't be the first 655 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:20.639 thing I would grab for. 656 00:37:20.800 --> 00:37:22.400 In fact, it's saying I. 657 00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.119 Go to essential oils before I go to any of 658 00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:28.840 that kind of stuff unless it's like such a bad 659 00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.880 headache that's kind of running away from me, and that 660 00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:35.119 rarely happens. It just rarely, does you know. But yeah, 661 00:37:35.199 --> 00:37:37.639 we've got to start listening to our bodies more. Our 662 00:37:37.719 --> 00:37:42.079 bodies are they It's like, have you ever thought about 663 00:37:42.159 --> 00:37:44.840 how your body knows to just heal and it knows 664 00:37:44.920 --> 00:37:46.440 how to take care of you, and it knows how 665 00:37:46.480 --> 00:37:48.760 to produce what chemical to make you feel happy or 666 00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:52.400 whatever whatever you need in that moment. Your body produces 667 00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:56.119 it like that. Well, it is a very like omniscient 668 00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:00.840 sort of computer system, right, an organic system that's so 669 00:38:01.119 --> 00:38:04.360 have you ever wondered like, maybe my body knows more 670 00:38:04.440 --> 00:38:05.920 than me trying to. 671 00:38:06.079 --> 00:38:07.800 Force it one hundred percent. 672 00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:12.679 Yes, force your body, you're causing inflammation, You're like making 673 00:38:12.760 --> 00:38:15.719 it do something against its will or ability. And so 674 00:38:16.159 --> 00:38:19.039 becoming one with yourself. I know that sounds really kind 675 00:38:19.079 --> 00:38:20.880 of like no, no. 676 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:21.639 It doesn't. 677 00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:26.280 And let me say this before before you finish that thought. Like, 678 00:38:26.559 --> 00:38:30.880 for me, I cannot take naps. I have the worst 679 00:38:31.000 --> 00:38:35.480 time in the world ever taking a nap. And if 680 00:38:35.519 --> 00:38:38.519 I get to the point where I'm sitting in the 681 00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:42.679 chair trying to relax or something and I get uber sleepy, 682 00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:47.599 I will actually let my body take over and make 683 00:38:47.719 --> 00:38:51.639 me take a nap because I know my body's telling me, Hey, 684 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:53.320 you have to you have to have this. 685 00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:55.119 Yeah, I can't. 686 00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:59.599 Restore and regenerate without whatever my body's telling me I need, 687 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:04.199 whether it's peace and calm, whether it's he's shutting my 688 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.920 phone off for a couple hours so nobody bothers me, 689 00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:09.679 or whatever whatever it is. 690 00:39:09.880 --> 00:39:11.559 I always have to listen to that. 691 00:39:12.119 --> 00:39:16.079 Yeah, and you have to become one with your body, 692 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.360 as weird as that might sound, but what that looks 693 00:39:18.480 --> 00:39:23.000 like is getting in tune with your consciousness. And like 694 00:39:23.679 --> 00:39:27.000 we have this separation issue right now where people think 695 00:39:27.800 --> 00:39:31.039 God or the higher Power, whatever they want to call it, 696 00:39:31.559 --> 00:39:34.400 is outside of us. Well, I'm sorry to tell you, 697 00:39:34.599 --> 00:39:37.760 but it's part of you. You are it. You are source. 698 00:39:38.840 --> 00:39:42.960 I call it Gus now, God, Universe source. You know, 699 00:39:43.320 --> 00:39:48.559 you are a fractionated image of Gus. And it's like 700 00:39:48.679 --> 00:39:51.800 God had a thought and you became He like mad 701 00:39:52.079 --> 00:39:54.960 made it into you. And so he's in you. He's 702 00:39:55.000 --> 00:39:58.559 the interstitial spaces between your cells and your lungs. He's 703 00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:01.760 the breath of your lungs. Right, So you're not separated 704 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.639 from him. You don't You're not a sinner and you 705 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:08.960 don't like have to. You're not a bad person, is 706 00:40:09.000 --> 00:40:10.800 what I'm trying to say. Like we were taught that 707 00:40:10.960 --> 00:40:13.960 for so long. You're not bad and you're and he's 708 00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:17.000 not going, okay, now I'm I'm pushing away from you 709 00:40:17.039 --> 00:40:20.480 because you were naughty. Now that's just not how it works. 710 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:25.679 You are him. You are him, and you're just an 711 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:31.519 infinite different face that he has like made himself into 712 00:40:31.639 --> 00:40:34.079 so that he could have this human experience. I have 713 00:40:34.280 --> 00:40:40.039 found so much gratitude lately for being in this human experience. 714 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:41.800 It's for the suffering that. 715 00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:44.400 We go through, for the hunting through. 716 00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:47.719 It's like, nowhere else in the universe do they have 717 00:40:47.840 --> 00:40:50.760 the duality that we have on the Earth, where it's 718 00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:55.119 there's suffering, but there's supreme joy and there's light and 719 00:40:55.199 --> 00:40:58.599 there's dark, and we get to experience it all. But 720 00:40:58.840 --> 00:41:00.719 we're here to learn. It's like kind of getting our 721 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:05.840 PhD or our yeah, our PhD and spirituality. Really we're 722 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.920 here to figure out these these wonderful lessons, but in 723 00:41:09.119 --> 00:41:12.960 such a way that like it makes it tough. It's 724 00:41:12.960 --> 00:41:15.559 almost like we did it on purpose because it's the 725 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:16.679 hardest school ever. 726 00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:17.480 Right. 727 00:41:17.960 --> 00:41:22.159 Absolutely, I'm a bit of a school addict, and I 728 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:24.400 you know, I'm getting my PhD. But then I couldn't 729 00:41:24.400 --> 00:41:27.239 stop there. I had to create a school too. I'm justased, 730 00:41:28.559 --> 00:41:29.920 but I love learning. 731 00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:32.480 I can't sit still. Personality. 732 00:41:33.400 --> 00:41:37.840 Yeah, well, and as far as my my knowledge, Like 733 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:39.800 I don't know if you've ever heard of human design, 734 00:41:41.039 --> 00:41:44.519 but my human design personality is knowledge and truth. So 735 00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:49.000 I it's what brings me joy is to study and 736 00:41:49.159 --> 00:41:50.960 to learn and then to share it with people and 737 00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:55.039 to teach what I'm doing. And so I that that's 738 00:41:55.119 --> 00:41:58.480 all I want to do, and and I can feel truth. 739 00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:01.760 I can actually feel truth as a frequency that I 740 00:42:01.960 --> 00:42:04.440 know when it resonates in a certain place in my body, 741 00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:09.880 which it's right in the fear center, the sacral, which 742 00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:12.719 is your fear center and mine it doesn't have much 743 00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:17.079 fear these days, but that's where truth resonates hard. So 744 00:42:17.280 --> 00:42:19.719 I can I know when I'm on the right track 745 00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:23.800 with something, right. So you know, it's it's all about learning, 746 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:27.519 it's all about being ingratitude. But you got to listen 747 00:42:27.599 --> 00:42:30.079 to your body. Your body's telling you everything. You don't 748 00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:32.440 have to suffer to the point where it can't be helped. 749 00:42:32.559 --> 00:42:37.320 You ultimately have control over your entire situation. You are 750 00:42:37.480 --> 00:42:42.800 happening to this reality versus your external circumstances happening to you, right. 751 00:42:44.199 --> 00:42:49.039 And you know the funny thing about that is that 752 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:54.440 so many people feel like they're like imprisoned or locked in, 753 00:42:54.840 --> 00:42:57.639 like this is my life and this is the way 754 00:42:57.679 --> 00:42:58.159 it's going. 755 00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:00.840 To be you always. You have free will. 756 00:43:01.719 --> 00:43:05.960 You have the option to make those difficult choices to 757 00:43:06.239 --> 00:43:11.480 change jobs to you know, cut off somebody that is 758 00:43:11.800 --> 00:43:15.320 sucking the life out of you, or you know whatever. 759 00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:18.360 All of those choices are on the table for you. 760 00:43:19.239 --> 00:43:21.199 You just have to have that. 761 00:43:22.679 --> 00:43:25.880 Discernment and bravery to decide you're going to make those 762 00:43:26.000 --> 00:43:31.480 choices and to do something different. If it's not working, 763 00:43:33.199 --> 00:43:33.920 stop doing it. 764 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:35.039 Why beat your. 765 00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:38.480 Head against the wall every single day? And so many 766 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:42.639 people like work and finances. 767 00:43:42.199 --> 00:43:44.800 Are a huge thing, especially with the Cortisol. 768 00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:47.719 They hate their job so much that when they pull 769 00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:51.920 into the parking lot, they get physically sick, they feel 770 00:43:51.960 --> 00:43:53.039 like they're going to vomit. 771 00:43:53.599 --> 00:43:54.760 What do you think that is? 772 00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:58.800 That is Cortisol telling you, you know what, I hate 773 00:43:58.800 --> 00:43:59.239 this job. 774 00:44:00.239 --> 00:44:03.800 It can I share a story that just recently happened 775 00:44:03.800 --> 00:44:06.960 to me, and this, just like you said, this is 776 00:44:07.079 --> 00:44:10.079 attached to both finances in the Cortisol situation. And I've 777 00:44:10.119 --> 00:44:13.239 been in positions before where I should have learned the 778 00:44:13.360 --> 00:44:17.519 lesson because my head neew, my head knew the knowledge, 779 00:44:18.280 --> 00:44:21.480 but it hadn't, you know, like become coherent with the 780 00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:24.280 heart space yet. And that's typically for me. 781 00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:27.679 How it happens like I know you're you're loyal, And 782 00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:30.760 I think that's what a lot of people's issue is. 783 00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.400 They can't leave a job that they hate because they're loyal. 784 00:44:35.119 --> 00:44:40.679 Yep. And at this point it had become abusive. So 785 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:44.199 I got back from Japan on April fifth, and about 786 00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:46.880 six weeks later, I had not had one day off 787 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:49.760 of work. They were making me work from sun up 788 00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:53.960 to sundown essentially and putting all the responsibility on me. 789 00:44:55.119 --> 00:44:58.280 I finally came to my senses and I said, okay, 790 00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:00.920 I'm not doing this anymore. And I actually walked away 791 00:45:01.000 --> 00:45:05.079 from the job and with nothing like I don't have 792 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.239 this amazing savings plan and all of that kind of stuff. 793 00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:11.920 I just knew, well, I better get to work fast 794 00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:14.079 and figure it out because I need to figure out 795 00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:18.360 my finances. So now I jump from one stressful situation 796 00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:21.400 kind of into another because now I have no money 797 00:45:21.480 --> 00:45:24.119 coming in and I have to produce that and I 798 00:45:24.239 --> 00:45:26.440 have to figure it out. So what are my skills? 799 00:45:26.840 --> 00:45:29.920 And I think, okay, I'm going to start a massage 800 00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:33.239 school because the tuition money pretty much comes upfront, and 801 00:45:33.360 --> 00:45:35.239 I just think to secure enough to get me through 802 00:45:35.280 --> 00:45:37.360 the rest of the year. The program is a six 803 00:45:37.440 --> 00:45:39.840 month program, not a problem. I can do this. I 804 00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:42.840 figure out how many students I need. My head noodles 805 00:45:42.840 --> 00:45:46.480 out every last detail of it. I start advertising for 806 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:51.800 students and I got two but I needed at least four, 807 00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.920 if not five, maybe six, but four was kind of 808 00:45:55.960 --> 00:45:59.159 that sweet spot number for me. So I've been really 809 00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:03.119 working on how I speak. So rather than saying I need, 810 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:07.760 I want, I'm saying I am ready now to have 811 00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:10.320 a fourth student. I'm ready now to have that third 812 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:15.400 student show up. So nothing seemed to be breaking loose. 813 00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.800 I was getting frustrated by the second. I'm like, what 814 00:46:17.920 --> 00:46:19.320 have I done? I've done this again? 815 00:46:19.480 --> 00:46:20.280 What was I thinking? 816 00:46:20.519 --> 00:46:24.039 And so now I'm stressed out because I can't strive 817 00:46:24.239 --> 00:46:29.000 enough to force this whole situation. So I am very 818 00:46:29.039 --> 00:46:34.800 connected to the universe, and I I remember like so 819 00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:38.039 I always talk like God has these conversations with me, 820 00:46:38.079 --> 00:46:41.079 and he's quite sarcastic with me, because that's he and 821 00:46:41.239 --> 00:46:41.679 me both. 822 00:46:42.440 --> 00:46:45.840 He's like, okay, now I'm a bed listener at times. 823 00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:49.280 Yeah, And I think sometimes he just laughs at me 824 00:46:49.400 --> 00:46:51.679 because it's so terrible to me. But he's probably just 825 00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:54.760 laughing at me because it's like, well, she won't let go. 826 00:46:55.039 --> 00:46:57.079 When she lets go, I'll take care of this. So 827 00:46:58.199 --> 00:47:01.320 I got finally got to this place where I couldn't 828 00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:03.960 noodle it out anymore. And I'm a smart cookie, like 829 00:47:04.199 --> 00:47:07.440 I could not figure out my next move, and I'm like, 830 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:09.840 the clock is ticking. I don't know what to do here. 831 00:47:10.480 --> 00:47:15.360 So finally I said, I am ready now for whatever 832 00:47:15.639 --> 00:47:18.480 you provide for me. And it became this like sort 833 00:47:18.519 --> 00:47:20.519 of I remember it was not long ago. It was 834 00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:22.360 a couple of weeks ago, and I just was like 835 00:47:22.639 --> 00:47:26.199 in this, I got humbled, and I finally I said, 836 00:47:26.239 --> 00:47:29.000 you know what, I surrender. I know that I know 837 00:47:29.119 --> 00:47:31.440 what lesson. I knew what lesson I was trying he 838 00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:33.719 was trying to teach me. I knew what lesson I 839 00:47:33.840 --> 00:47:35.519 was in the middle of. And that's what most people 840 00:47:35.599 --> 00:47:37.639 don't know, is what do you want me to get 841 00:47:37.719 --> 00:47:41.920 from this? Well? I knew, and you know, I even 842 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:45.119 tried reasoning with him. I said, listen, you created me 843 00:47:45.199 --> 00:47:47.599 a virgo. Why would you do that if you were 844 00:47:47.639 --> 00:47:51.719 going to make the eleven hours to show up, because 845 00:47:51.800 --> 00:47:54.159 us virgos don't like the last minute kind of thing. 846 00:47:54.280 --> 00:47:55.920 We want to know ahead of time. Am I going 847 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:59.360 to be secure or not? Right? And a couple of 848 00:47:59.440 --> 00:48:01.559 friends I said that too. They were like, Shannon, you 849 00:48:01.679 --> 00:48:05.119 do not get to tell that to God. And I'm like, well, 850 00:48:05.559 --> 00:48:08.440 but come on, I mean, he knew I was a virgo, Like, 851 00:48:08.559 --> 00:48:11.320 how was that fair? And I said, but I get 852 00:48:11.360 --> 00:48:14.679 it fine. Whatever. So after I pitched my fit, I 853 00:48:14.880 --> 00:48:17.800 was like, Okay, I'm done fighting. I have no energy 854 00:48:17.880 --> 00:48:20.519 left to fight this. I can't do this by myself, 855 00:48:21.000 --> 00:48:24.159 so I surrender. I know that you're trying to put 856 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.119 me through it, so because the only way out of 857 00:48:26.159 --> 00:48:29.559 it is through it. So I am open and ready 858 00:48:29.960 --> 00:48:34.719 for whatever you have for me now, and wait until 859 00:48:34.719 --> 00:48:37.360 you hear what happened. I don't even think it was. 860 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:40.199 Two days later, I am at my office. I have 861 00:48:40.320 --> 00:48:43.320 a biocharger machine and I had a client sitting at 862 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:46.639 that machine with me, and we were chatting about everything 863 00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:50.159 except my business. And she said, hey, whatever happened to 864 00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:53.400 that one student you had that was interested in coming? 865 00:48:53.840 --> 00:48:55.920 Did she ever get her financing? And I said no, 866 00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:57.840 but I got to check in just to be sure. 867 00:48:58.440 --> 00:49:00.599 She would have been my third student and I really 868 00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:04.400 really really needed it. And this lady says, well, I 869 00:49:04.440 --> 00:49:08.400 would like to finance her. And I said what, and 870 00:49:08.559 --> 00:49:10.639 she's like, and I might even start crying, and I 871 00:49:10.719 --> 00:49:12.760 hope not, because I've told this story enough. But man, 872 00:49:12.920 --> 00:49:16.559 it gets me every time because that second, that you 873 00:49:16.760 --> 00:49:17.079 let go. 874 00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:20.639 Right second you let everything good comes. 875 00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:24.280 He shows up, but not just like here's some money 876 00:49:24.360 --> 00:49:26.719 for you. It's he shows up in a major way 877 00:49:26.760 --> 00:49:30.000 and he shows you how it's done with flair. And 878 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:32.960 she says, I want to finance this student for you. 879 00:49:33.039 --> 00:49:35.480 And I was like, are you kidding me? And so 880 00:49:35.920 --> 00:49:38.559 I got to be the person to call that student 881 00:49:38.679 --> 00:49:41.400 and say somebody has stepped forward because a bank wouldn't 882 00:49:41.440 --> 00:49:44.239 secure her alone. Her credit score wasn't good enough. And 883 00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:48.239 this lady said to me, she said, I believe that 884 00:49:48.320 --> 00:49:50.119 in order to heal this world, we need to be 885 00:49:50.239 --> 00:49:54.360 doing this kind of stuff for other people. Do something 886 00:49:54.440 --> 00:49:57.159 good with her massage, and I believe in her and 887 00:49:57.280 --> 00:49:59.960 I want to help her. And I'm like, this is insane. 888 00:50:00.159 --> 00:50:02.559 I'm like, I can't even believe how perfectly this happened. 889 00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:06.800 And the second that I let go and was like, hey, 890 00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.639 do it for me because I can't write. But I 891 00:50:12.280 --> 00:50:16.000 let go, there was no cortisol. I wasn't still stressed. 892 00:50:16.079 --> 00:50:18.960 I literally stopped thinking about it for a couple of days. 893 00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:21.360 And I'm like, well, I'm testing the theory right like. 894 00:50:21.880 --> 00:50:24.599 And that's the one area in scripture that he says 895 00:50:24.639 --> 00:50:27.920 to testament. Just if I won't open the floodgates for 896 00:50:28.039 --> 00:50:29.800 you when you let me have the control of this 897 00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:34.639 right so and so right, so, then it gets better. 898 00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:38.960 I'm flying high. My daughter had just come home for 899 00:50:39.039 --> 00:50:41.480 a quick visit because my son was graduating high school, 900 00:50:42.000 --> 00:50:44.000 and we went to Costco and I was buying a 901 00:50:44.079 --> 00:50:48.519 water thing for the office, and I'm telling her this story, 902 00:50:48.599 --> 00:50:51.360 and I'm of course like crying my pansy ass off 903 00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.000 in Costco because it's so like moving to me. And 904 00:50:55.079 --> 00:50:58.159 I think it happened, and I can't believe I was 905 00:50:58.239 --> 00:51:00.360 part of it. It was amazing. And I get this 906 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:04.880 text from a woman who she's my colonics lady actually, 907 00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:09.239 and her daughter had had a bad experience in a 908 00:51:09.320 --> 00:51:12.320 previous massage school and never finished and she always wanted 909 00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:14.800 to go back and finish well. I had asked her. 910 00:51:14.880 --> 00:51:16.920 I reached out to her twice and she told me no, 911 00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:19.800 her daughter wasn't interested and couldn't do it. Well. Here, 912 00:51:19.880 --> 00:51:23.320 I am flying high from this third student thing, and 913 00:51:23.440 --> 00:51:26.119 that lady called that lady texts me she's like, my 914 00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:28.320 daughter wants to do school? Is it too late? And 915 00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.079 I said no, So I get on the horn with 916 00:51:31.159 --> 00:51:34.280 our daughter. That day, she goes and gets herself alone, 917 00:51:34.599 --> 00:51:38.880 and I have a fourth student. So then I'm like, even, 918 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:41.639 I'm flying even higher at this point. Right and We're 919 00:51:41.679 --> 00:51:43.760 at home and I'm fixing my lunch and I said, well, 920 00:51:44.800 --> 00:51:47.639 I'm open and ready for a fifth one if you listen, 921 00:51:49.639 --> 00:51:52.960 you know, And I was like just stoked. That lady 922 00:51:53.079 --> 00:51:57.079 texts back and she says, this lady I work with, 923 00:51:57.280 --> 00:51:59.440 she wants her son to take the massage school too. 924 00:51:59.559 --> 00:52:01.360 Is that okay? Can I give her your info? And 925 00:52:01.440 --> 00:52:07.559 I'm like, yeah, yes, and she she actually didn't end 926 00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:09.960 up reaching out to me, but just like right after 927 00:52:10.039 --> 00:52:14.280 I go I'll take a fifth another potential opportunity showed up. 928 00:52:14.360 --> 00:52:18.880 So I'm like, okay, I'm getting this now, like I'm 929 00:52:19.000 --> 00:52:20.599 getting it. But the thing is is I think what 930 00:52:20.719 --> 00:52:23.000 it took was me to humble myself and say, look, 931 00:52:23.639 --> 00:52:25.599 I know that this lesson is one of the hardest 932 00:52:25.639 --> 00:52:27.800 ones for me because I grew up in a poverty 933 00:52:27.840 --> 00:52:34.280 mindset and very very scarcity mindset, and that is probably 934 00:52:34.360 --> 00:52:36.519 worse than Candida trying to get rid of is that 935 00:52:36.760 --> 00:52:40.880 lack scarcity mentality, And so I knew it was a 936 00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.199 big lesson for me. I knew it was a huge one, 937 00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:45.320 and so I finally was like, you know what, as 938 00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.639 painful as this might be for me, I accept. I 939 00:52:49.760 --> 00:52:53.280 accept going through this. Whatever you're gonna do, whatever is 940 00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:56.760 gonna happen, because I know that it's only meant for 941 00:52:56.840 --> 00:52:59.079 my good, It's only meant for my highest good and 942 00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:02.039 I and I, so let's go, let's do this. But 943 00:53:02.119 --> 00:53:03.760 you don't like to do hard things. 944 00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:08.679 Everybody that I know that calls me to talk about 945 00:53:08.719 --> 00:53:13.280 their problems, that is the main thing is the control, 946 00:53:14.199 --> 00:53:17.320 and can't give up control. And you have to control 947 00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:19.599 everything in your household, and you have to control how 948 00:53:19.679 --> 00:53:23.039 people act, and you have to everybody has to do 949 00:53:23.400 --> 00:53:27.159 everything the way that you would do it and whatever. 950 00:53:27.440 --> 00:53:32.880 And I'm like, you are creating so much undue stress 951 00:53:33.360 --> 00:53:38.320 in your body, hence the chaos going on in your system, 952 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:43.280 and you're feeling all these kind of ways because you 953 00:53:43.719 --> 00:53:49.639 can't stop to think that that letting go of that 954 00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:54.679 is going to make things better. Because when you are 955 00:53:55.840 --> 00:53:58.800 trying to control everything, you make terrible decisions. 956 00:53:59.199 --> 00:54:01.320 Yep, everybody does. 957 00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:06.679 And it's like, I'm going to control how my husband 958 00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:10.760 talks to his daughter. I'm going to control her behavior 959 00:54:10.880 --> 00:54:11.119 with me. 960 00:54:11.360 --> 00:54:12.679 I'm gonna make. 961 00:54:12.599 --> 00:54:18.440 People respect me regardless. You cannot have that control over 962 00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:24.760 other people and expect your life to be sunshine and rainbows. 963 00:54:25.599 --> 00:54:28.159 You have to let go of that and you have 964 00:54:28.400 --> 00:54:32.880 to let God come in. I call it divine interceding 965 00:54:34.639 --> 00:54:37.800 because when that happens, he does show up and he 966 00:54:38.079 --> 00:54:41.679 does things that we could not even fathom. 967 00:54:42.199 --> 00:54:43.559 Better than way better. 968 00:54:43.760 --> 00:54:47.239 Yeah, like we don't have the capacity and our tiny 969 00:54:47.360 --> 00:54:53.159 little brains, And so was he moving you all along 970 00:54:53.559 --> 00:54:56.880 in this direction for this particular purpose. 971 00:54:58.159 --> 00:55:02.639 Yeah, but some sometimes I'm not not calling you out. 972 00:55:02.840 --> 00:55:06.920 Some of us are very stubborn and very hard to hit, 973 00:55:07.039 --> 00:55:09.760 and it's like, I want things my way, and I 974 00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:13.039 have to like plan all of this. But the best 975 00:55:13.159 --> 00:55:18.800 moments from God are things that we could not possibly plan, 976 00:55:19.559 --> 00:55:21.440 and him moving us wherever. 977 00:55:22.079 --> 00:55:26.360 A year ago, I left a six figure income to 978 00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:30.400 go into business for myself because wellness, natural wellness has 979 00:55:30.400 --> 00:55:35.719 always been my thing. And by June, that was January 980 00:55:35.840 --> 00:55:38.639 to June, I had no business. It wasn't working out. 981 00:55:38.719 --> 00:55:41.760 And rather than let go and let God, as they say, 982 00:55:42.280 --> 00:55:45.000 I knee jerked and I went and got a day job. 983 00:55:45.320 --> 00:55:47.880 And then I said to myself what most people say, Oh, 984 00:55:47.920 --> 00:55:49.920 I'll work on it in the evenings and I'll still 985 00:55:50.000 --> 00:55:51.400 you know, I'm going to continue to do it. 986 00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:52.960 But that doesn't happen. 987 00:55:53.159 --> 00:55:55.960 I didn't because I got so I was a salaried position, 988 00:55:56.039 --> 00:55:59.840 and I got so wrapped up into like working overtime, 989 00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:02.800 doing more and more and more and more, that there's 990 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:05.599 no boundaries you can set when you're when you are salaried. 991 00:56:05.760 --> 00:56:08.639 And so he had set it all up for me before, 992 00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:11.559 and I was like, no, I want to go back 993 00:56:11.599 --> 00:56:13.800 to the safety of this paycheck, which isn't safety at all. 994 00:56:14.559 --> 00:56:16.199 That's the big thing. It's not safety at all. 995 00:56:16.360 --> 00:56:17.320 That's your stressor. 996 00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:22.639 That's a big stressor, because again you're letting somebody else control. 997 00:56:23.039 --> 00:56:26.639 Your life and your mood and your daily outcomes. 998 00:56:27.000 --> 00:56:30.719 Right, And so I think for me, I don't. I 999 00:56:30.800 --> 00:56:34.760 couldn't tell you if what I'm doing right now is 1000 00:56:34.840 --> 00:56:37.079 what I was meant to do. Maybe it's the way 1001 00:56:37.239 --> 00:56:40.480 I was supposed to start doing what I'm meant to do. 1002 00:56:40.599 --> 00:56:45.000 It's definitely within the natural wellness realm. However, what I 1003 00:56:45.039 --> 00:56:47.199 think it was more about for me was the lesson 1004 00:56:47.320 --> 00:56:49.679 because you're going to keep repeating things until you can 1005 00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:52.719 figure out the lesson. But I can tell you with 1006 00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:57.559 my last child in the throes of graduating, like weeks 1007 00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.559 away from graduating, my daughter living in an other country 1008 00:57:00.599 --> 00:57:03.760 halfway around the world that have active volcanoes and tsunamis, 1009 00:57:04.199 --> 00:57:06.159 and I had to get her home for a five 1010 00:57:06.239 --> 00:57:10.840 day stint. Your brother graduate and I walked away from 1011 00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:13.679 the job, started my own job. I had my fair 1012 00:57:13.679 --> 00:57:17.079 amount of stress. I had my fair amount of stress. Also, 1013 00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:20.320 what we don't talk about and probably should is all 1014 00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:23.920 of us whose last child or only child or whatever 1015 00:57:24.280 --> 00:57:28.440 he was, my last one is now graduating, and your 1016 00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:31.239 brain has to go through a chemical change there that 1017 00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:33.920 has been happening for the past year where I'm like, 1018 00:57:34.000 --> 00:57:35.760 oh god, what am I gonna do when they're gone? 1019 00:57:35.920 --> 00:57:37.320 Oh God, what am I going to do when I 1020 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:39.360 don't have to like do this day to day stuff 1021 00:57:39.400 --> 00:57:42.599 with them anymore. That's a real thing, right, And they're 1022 00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:44.480 gonna both live with me while they go to college, 1023 00:57:44.519 --> 00:57:47.400 So I'm not technically an empty nester. But at the 1024 00:57:47.440 --> 00:57:50.920 same time, they're not in the same need that they 1025 00:57:51.000 --> 00:57:53.280 were in when you know, I was supposed to get 1026 00:57:53.320 --> 00:57:57.480 them through. So I had my amount of stress in 1027 00:57:57.519 --> 00:58:00.880 the past two months, and what it took and what 1028 00:58:01.159 --> 00:58:03.920 moved it faster than I've ever seen in my life 1029 00:58:04.679 --> 00:58:06.760 is just letting go. 1030 00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:08.760 Yep, letting go. 1031 00:58:09.000 --> 00:58:12.760 And this is a little zippy and unexpected twist of irony. 1032 00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:16.360 My son just got the part of Olaf in Frozen 1033 00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:19.840 at the local community theater here and let it Go 1034 00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:22.360 as the main song of that. So I think that's 1035 00:58:22.519 --> 00:58:23.400 just kind of fricking. 1036 00:58:24.480 --> 00:58:30.039 That's that's a god laughing at you, going, man, that's. 1037 00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:33.239 How it rolls. Yeah, and my son is literally like 1038 00:58:33.440 --> 00:58:36.760 the happy character, like the snowman the dark, you know, 1039 00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:40.239 so that I just now thought of that. That's hysterical, 1040 00:58:41.639 --> 00:58:45.400 but it's I'm telling you, like ever since that moment, 1041 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:49.719 it changed me. And that's what that's the perfect thing 1042 00:58:49.800 --> 00:58:52.719 that happens too, is when you can release that. Because 1043 00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:56.519 my cortosol levels, apart from that day job I had, 1044 00:58:56.719 --> 00:58:59.360 I've started to feel them get high again because I 1045 00:58:59.760 --> 00:59:02.320 I could tell the difference. I had had them under control, 1046 00:59:02.920 --> 00:59:05.320 and then this day job was getting out of control 1047 00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:09.239 right and I was starting to feel myself real again, 1048 00:59:09.519 --> 00:59:11.440 and I was like, oh man, I got to get 1049 00:59:11.480 --> 00:59:13.280 back on top of this because I don't want my 1050 00:59:13.360 --> 00:59:17.639 health going downhill. So all of this stuff ensues, and 1051 00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:21.760 now I can tell you I wake up every day 1052 00:59:21.960 --> 00:59:27.239 just so grateful to be awake and alive and ready 1053 00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:30.440 for the day. I say, thank you for this day. 1054 00:59:31.039 --> 00:59:34.079 What's my assignment today? What do you have for me today? 1055 00:59:34.119 --> 00:59:37.159 Because this shit's fun. Now, man, I'm like, okay, last 1056 00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:41.440 time I said whatever you bring it, and you did 1057 00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:45.159 well listen heard Yeah, So now I'm like, okay, now 1058 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:47.960 who can I touch today? Who can I heal today? 1059 00:59:48.000 --> 00:59:51.599 Who can I help and minister to? Or what's next? 1060 00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:54.320 You know? What have we got going on today? But 1061 00:59:54.679 --> 00:59:58.000 what's really cool is like the lesson that you learn 1062 00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:00.960 in the meantime once all of this, because I don't 1063 01:00:00.960 --> 01:00:03.599 think I could have learned it with my cortisol all jacked. 1064 01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:07.119 Up, right, because you don't think straight when that happens. 1065 01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:10.599 Right, And typically it actually happens in the unseen realm 1066 01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:14.639 around us, the biofield, before it hits the physical body. 1067 01:00:14.840 --> 01:00:19.000 So those But but the thing is is what happens 1068 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:23.000 to us happened here first. So it's it's like it 1069 01:00:23.159 --> 01:00:26.599 from any disharmony that I had up here that went 1070 01:00:26.679 --> 01:00:29.239 out and attracted disharmony to come back to me, and 1071 01:00:29.280 --> 01:00:31.440 I would say that that's also what stress does. 1072 01:00:32.000 --> 01:00:34.360 This is the part. 1073 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:37.559 Nobody's talking about either, unless you're a quantum doctor, you know. 1074 01:00:37.760 --> 01:00:41.639 And I'm like, listen, you are getting what you are 1075 01:00:41.840 --> 01:00:46.639 putting out into that absolute frequency is going out there 1076 01:00:46.719 --> 01:00:49.519 and picking out its match and bringing it back to you. 1077 01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:51.880 And I know that that's a trigger warning for a 1078 01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:53.960 lot of people. They're going to be like, well, you 1079 01:00:54.079 --> 01:00:57.320 think that I'm causing all of this? Yeah, yes, I 1080 01:00:57.480 --> 01:00:59.880 actually do. And I will tell you I have cause 1081 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.760 all of the stuff around me and my world too, 1082 01:01:03.119 --> 01:01:05.960 and it is a mirror and other people are mirrors 1083 01:01:06.039 --> 01:01:10.159 to me into a douche. I have to look at me. 1084 01:01:10.480 --> 01:01:13.000 Was I a douche? Because that is a reflection of me? 1085 01:01:14.480 --> 01:01:17.639 Rarely is it just some random happenstance that you're having 1086 01:01:17.679 --> 01:01:20.719 an actual interaction with a person that is negative that 1087 01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:24.159 you did not somehow push out in your you know, 1088 01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:27.159 if you're like, h, I don't like today, that you know, 1089 01:01:27.239 --> 01:01:30.159 and if you get all in your feels, I'm not 1090 01:01:30.280 --> 01:01:32.760 saying don't feel the feels, but you are going to 1091 01:01:32.880 --> 01:01:38.840 attract that energy back, right, except that if your energy 1092 01:01:38.960 --> 01:01:42.639 is cortisol energy, you're gonna be in chaos just. 1093 01:01:42.760 --> 01:01:47.079 And it's perfect that you said that, because, like I 1094 01:01:47.119 --> 01:01:49.199 said that, a lot of people that I talked to 1095 01:01:49.519 --> 01:01:52.760 throughout the day that have the control issues and stuff, 1096 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:57.840 they're grumpy, they're angry, they're always stressed out, and it's like, 1097 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:02.039 remember about this person and maybe about that person, and 1098 01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:04.920 I hate this and I hate that and I feel 1099 01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:09.320 like crap and blah blah blah, and then they wonder 1100 01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:15.320 why their life is literal chaos Yep all the time. Yep, 1101 01:02:15.800 --> 01:02:19.559 it's because when what's the last time that you had 1102 01:02:19.599 --> 01:02:24.400 a positive, good thought that you put out? 1103 01:02:25.119 --> 01:02:29.079 Yeah, or even about yourself, because if you're not thinking 1104 01:02:29.159 --> 01:02:32.559 your body, you're hating on it, calling yourself stupid, calling 1105 01:02:32.639 --> 01:02:35.079 yourself an idiot. Like how I hear that so much? 1106 01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:38.719 Like it's starting to like really bug me now when 1107 01:02:38.760 --> 01:02:40.920 people are like, oh, I'm such a and I don't 1108 01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:43.880 even like to say it. For phaxies. If somebody says 1109 01:02:43.960 --> 01:02:46.599 that that phrase, I say, no, you're not, stop that, 1110 01:02:46.880 --> 01:02:48.760 Like that's just a distraction. Knock that off. 1111 01:02:49.159 --> 01:02:52.000 You know, it's funny that you said that, because my 1112 01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:56.960 favorite thing to say is that I'm tech retarded, But 1113 01:02:57.199 --> 01:02:59.800 now I say I'm tech challenged. 1114 01:03:00.320 --> 01:03:02.639 And I would honest I'm a work in progress. 1115 01:03:03.039 --> 01:03:06.039 I would honestly, Janet, I would honestly flip it and say, 1116 01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:06.960 I'm a tech genius. 1117 01:03:09.000 --> 01:03:12.039 Go, yeah, but like I have been lately, which is 1118 01:03:12.199 --> 01:03:17.679 impressive and why because I changed how I was approaching that. 1119 01:03:18.400 --> 01:03:22.320 And then I'm like doing things that I'm like, I 1120 01:03:23.119 --> 01:03:23.480 had no. 1121 01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:26.239 Idea I could ever do that. Yeah, Oh wow, that 1122 01:03:26.400 --> 01:03:27.639 was cool. Let me try those too. 1123 01:03:27.840 --> 01:03:31.400 No, I can't find something. I will go to where 1124 01:03:31.559 --> 01:03:35.239 I just have this gut intuition telling me where it's at. 1125 01:03:35.360 --> 01:03:37.639 And I walk in that room and I go, I 1126 01:03:38.039 --> 01:03:40.559 know where it is. I know where it is, and 1127 01:03:40.639 --> 01:03:43.599 I just start saying it like with conviction, like I 1128 01:03:43.719 --> 01:03:46.159 know where this is. I know where I put that, 1129 01:03:46.880 --> 01:03:49.360 instead of like where is it? Oh my god, ah, 1130 01:03:49.760 --> 01:03:51.920 because I know I didn't lose it. I just put 1131 01:03:51.960 --> 01:03:54.920 it somewhere that I couldn't remember. And so I start 1132 01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:56.840 to come in and I go, I remember what I 1133 01:03:56.920 --> 01:04:01.159 did with it, And seeing that positive phrase has like 1134 01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:05.639 I've recovered it every time quickly quickly, because it's like 1135 01:04:05.719 --> 01:04:08.199 all of a sudden, I'll have the full on memory 1136 01:04:08.320 --> 01:04:10.960 of how it got where it was, and I'm like, oh, yeah. 1137 01:04:11.079 --> 01:04:14.280 I put it there because because I thought that I 1138 01:04:14.400 --> 01:04:18.239 would absolutely remember where this was because I was going 1139 01:04:18.320 --> 01:04:21.000 to go get sweetener or whatever. 1140 01:04:22.400 --> 01:04:25.599 And so now I genuinely have changed how I say things. 1141 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:30.599 So I try to really take stock of if I'm 1142 01:04:30.639 --> 01:04:34.440 saying need or want, because that denotes lack and you know, 1143 01:04:34.559 --> 01:04:36.880 growing up in that that's just what I was taught 1144 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:40.880 to say. But if you want to truly walk in abundance, 1145 01:04:40.920 --> 01:04:44.199 you have to take captive every thought and every word, 1146 01:04:44.760 --> 01:04:47.719 because your deeds will follow. Your actions will then follow. 1147 01:04:48.199 --> 01:04:50.800 And I would say that that's probably the number one 1148 01:04:50.880 --> 01:04:53.800 spot to start, is you know what is stressing you out? 1149 01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:55.639 You've got to take stock of what your thoughts are. 1150 01:04:56.599 --> 01:04:59.920 If your thoughts are in fear of your boss, your job, 1151 01:05:00.239 --> 01:05:03.920 the money, the health, whatever, everything that could. 1152 01:05:03.760 --> 01:05:07.639 Affect you in the outside world that you cannot control. 1153 01:05:07.679 --> 01:05:11.039 Right, then you have to like start logic. And that's 1154 01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:12.679 what I had to do with myself, is I had 1155 01:05:12.719 --> 01:05:15.039 to say, wait a second, does this even make sense? 1156 01:05:15.119 --> 01:05:17.880 Let's let's look at it. Can I control this? No? 1157 01:05:18.280 --> 01:05:21.119 All right, well crap, why do I want to Why 1158 01:05:21.199 --> 01:05:23.280 do I want to hold onto it so bad? Why 1159 01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:25.639 do you know what is it that I've got that's 1160 01:05:25.679 --> 01:05:28.840 connecting me so strongly to it? And why do I care? 1161 01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:33.360 And when I really ask myself the proper questions, I'm like, oh, 1162 01:05:33.679 --> 01:05:36.400 that's dumb, okay, and well. 1163 01:05:37.000 --> 01:05:39.480 And to that point, a lot of people that have 1164 01:05:40.159 --> 01:05:45.360 like the the need or ambition to control things. It's 1165 01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:50.159 a protective mechanism, yes, And so it relates back to 1166 01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:55.960 you know, a trauma or you know, not having food 1167 01:05:56.199 --> 01:06:01.119 or something like that. And so that's what it emotionally, 1168 01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:07.000 subconsciously triggers as to like have to have that need 1169 01:06:07.119 --> 01:06:09.320 to control everything. 1170 01:06:09.840 --> 01:06:14.079 Yeah, And I just think when we can let ourselves 1171 01:06:14.199 --> 01:06:16.960 off the hook, and we can, we can genuinely say like, 1172 01:06:17.519 --> 01:06:19.920 I don't need that control that is that is too 1173 01:06:20.000 --> 01:06:23.119 much energy. I don't have time, nor do I want 1174 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:25.480 to hold that. The other thing that I have been 1175 01:06:25.559 --> 01:06:30.199 trying to go through is I've been try. I don't 1176 01:06:30.239 --> 01:06:32.159 even want to say try because Yoda goes through my head, 1177 01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:36.800 right do or do not? I am tired of the protections. 1178 01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:39.880 I'm tired of myself protecting myself. I get it, I 1179 01:06:39.960 --> 01:06:42.920 get why she needed to do that for the younger self, 1180 01:06:43.320 --> 01:06:45.679 but right now I want to get raw. I want 1181 01:06:45.760 --> 01:06:47.599 to let it all out. I want to get out 1182 01:06:47.639 --> 01:06:49.800 the ugly. I want to go through that hard stuff 1183 01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:53.159 because there is nothing but healing on the other side 1184 01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:55.800 of that. And how can I help heal others if 1185 01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:59.840 I'm not completely and I don't have to be like 1186 01:07:00.079 --> 01:07:04.000 a you know, completely transfigured person in order to help somebody. 1187 01:07:04.079 --> 01:07:06.599 I get that because we help people that are going 1188 01:07:06.679 --> 01:07:10.039 through what we've just been through. But at the same time, 1189 01:07:10.119 --> 01:07:13.519 it's like, I mean, I expect some high level shit 1190 01:07:13.559 --> 01:07:16.960 out of myself, and by that I mean, and I 1191 01:07:17.320 --> 01:07:19.679 say this a lot, this is actually how I would 1192 01:07:19.719 --> 01:07:22.599 love to get before I exit this planet. But in 1193 01:07:22.719 --> 01:07:27.000 the Bible, when Peter is walking past the man that's 1194 01:07:27.039 --> 01:07:30.840 asking for alms and his shot, his shadow heals the man. 1195 01:07:31.880 --> 01:07:34.079 It wasn't his shadow because it was a sunny day. 1196 01:07:34.239 --> 01:07:37.199 It was his biofield. It was his aura. His aura 1197 01:07:37.360 --> 01:07:40.519 was so high vibing that just in walking past this 1198 01:07:40.719 --> 01:07:44.119 man that healed him. And Peter said to him, silver 1199 01:07:44.239 --> 01:07:45.880 and gold have I none, But what I do have 1200 01:07:46.039 --> 01:07:50.159 I give freely, and I that is what I want. 1201 01:07:51.519 --> 01:07:53.880 I am ready. Well, I would like to say I'm ready, 1202 01:07:53.880 --> 01:07:55.559 but I know I have some lessons, So I'm going to. 1203 01:07:55.639 --> 01:07:58.519 Say, I am ready now in progress. 1204 01:07:58.840 --> 01:08:01.639 Yeah, I am ready now for that to take place. 1205 01:08:01.679 --> 01:08:05.000 Anytime where I just walk past somebody and my unconditional 1206 01:08:05.079 --> 01:08:09.079 love and gratitude just for all things is so high 1207 01:08:09.199 --> 01:08:12.239 amped that it heals people just me walking past them, 1208 01:08:12.559 --> 01:08:14.760 that that is such a beautiful thing to me. So 1209 01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:19.680 that's my ultimate goal spiritually speaking. So I'm like, what 1210 01:08:19.800 --> 01:08:22.279 do I have to lose. I'm ready to let this 1211 01:08:22.399 --> 01:08:24.479 get ugly if it needs to, you know. I mean, 1212 01:08:24.640 --> 01:08:28.640 I also, this is an interesting thing, not completely on topic, 1213 01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.239 but I thought it was interesting when you take your 1214 01:08:31.319 --> 01:08:35.720 birth day, like the month and the day and the 1215 01:08:35.880 --> 01:08:39.600 current year in numerology, you kind of get it down 1216 01:08:39.680 --> 01:08:42.199 to where it's like a single digit between one and nine. 1217 01:08:43.960 --> 01:08:46.000 There's and I don't know all of them, but I 1218 01:08:46.119 --> 01:08:48.720 heard this gal talking about if you're in a nine year, 1219 01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:50.880 which is a this is a nine year for me, 1220 01:08:51.560 --> 01:08:55.039 you're actually going through a death and rebirth process. And 1221 01:08:56.479 --> 01:08:58.560 that I was like, my mouth was open. I was 1222 01:08:58.600 --> 01:09:00.800 on a walk and my mouth just draws open because 1223 01:09:00.960 --> 01:09:03.800 I have already recognized that I am going through my 1224 01:09:03.880 --> 01:09:08.760 rebirthing process now because I'm divorce a couple of years ago, 1225 01:09:09.039 --> 01:09:11.399 Like was the death, and I have been in that 1226 01:09:11.600 --> 01:09:15.000 process of trying to like rise from the ashes. I 1227 01:09:15.079 --> 01:09:16.960 didn't expect it to take as long as it did 1228 01:09:17.000 --> 01:09:19.800 because it wasn't the person that I missed. It was 1229 01:09:19.880 --> 01:09:22.159 the reinvention of who I was because I was with 1230 01:09:22.279 --> 01:09:25.520 him for so long, and now it's like, who am 1231 01:09:25.600 --> 01:09:27.920 I really? Who do I want to be? I get 1232 01:09:28.000 --> 01:09:31.239 to create this person. I get to love me because 1233 01:09:31.479 --> 01:09:33.760 it wasn't possible, you know, and I was seeking it 1234 01:09:33.880 --> 01:09:36.039 from him, which I never should have. So there has 1235 01:09:36.199 --> 01:09:39.880 been so many like awesome things I've learned about myself 1236 01:09:39.960 --> 01:09:43.279 and how to love myself truly. And so I am 1237 01:09:43.439 --> 01:09:46.000 currently in my rebirth year, which I thought was so cool. 1238 01:09:46.079 --> 01:09:49.600 And you can google this, So yeah, you just take 1239 01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:53.359 like if my birthday month is September, so zero nine 1240 01:09:53.479 --> 01:09:57.079 is a nine, then the sixteenth is nine plus one 1241 01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:00.720 plus six, which is sixteen, and then and that you 1242 01:10:00.840 --> 01:10:03.760 add the numbers of the twenty two or twenty twenty five, right, 1243 01:10:03.960 --> 01:10:06.039 and then you add the you keep adding all of 1244 01:10:06.119 --> 01:10:09.239 the digits until you get the single one. And so 1245 01:10:09.399 --> 01:10:12.760 what whatever process you're in, there's I think three or 1246 01:10:12.920 --> 01:10:15.880 six is the year of creativity where you're just making 1247 01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:16.399 stuff and. 1248 01:10:16.439 --> 01:10:17.880 You're that's definitely me. 1249 01:10:18.399 --> 01:10:21.600 Yeah, so cool, So we'll do it. And I don't know, 1250 01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:24.279 like I don't know what people believe or think about 1251 01:10:24.319 --> 01:10:26.720 that stuff, but I just thought, huh, that is I. 1252 01:10:26.760 --> 01:10:31.479 Would say, I would say that's pretty spot on because 1253 01:10:32.279 --> 01:10:38.119 not only are you figuring out who you are as 1254 01:10:38.159 --> 01:10:42.920 a person, but look at the lesson that you just learned. 1255 01:10:43.800 --> 01:10:46.920 Yeah you know what I'm saying that, Like Kay has 1256 01:10:47.039 --> 01:10:49.640 been trying to teach you for a really long time, 1257 01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:54.079 but we are bad listeners sometimes and he could literally 1258 01:10:54.199 --> 01:10:55.920 hit us over the head with a frying pan and 1259 01:10:56.039 --> 01:10:58.239 we're still like, Nope, I'm not going to do that. 1260 01:10:58.560 --> 01:11:00.399 I'm not going to do that. By way better, I 1261 01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:02.199 know better, you know. 1262 01:11:02.680 --> 01:11:02.880 Yeah. 1263 01:11:03.359 --> 01:11:06.880 So so for the cortisol, like we talked about it, 1264 01:11:08.600 --> 01:11:13.920 you got to get your stress under control and follow 1265 01:11:14.000 --> 01:11:18.479 the daily routine, get good sleep, all of that stuff. 1266 01:11:19.560 --> 01:11:23.199 But what does it do to your metabolism? How does 1267 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:24.720 it affect your metabolism? 1268 01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:27.600 So when we got to go back to that hormonal 1269 01:11:27.680 --> 01:11:31.520 hierarchy and look at how it is above insulin. So 1270 01:11:31.880 --> 01:11:36.880 when cortisol is in large amounts, it will slow insulin down. 1271 01:11:37.560 --> 01:11:40.439 So what does insulin do? We know, insulin comes from 1272 01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:43.920 the pancreas and it regulates our blood sugar levels. So 1273 01:11:44.279 --> 01:11:46.439 if you eat a bagel which is higher around the 1274 01:11:46.439 --> 01:11:50.279 glycemic index, it will help that to slowly process into 1275 01:11:50.359 --> 01:11:53.239 your blood. So I mean some people get a spike 1276 01:11:53.319 --> 01:11:56.800 and then a rapid drop. Blood sugars aren't stable and level. 1277 01:11:57.319 --> 01:12:01.000 But if you are not producing enough insulin to take 1278 01:12:01.079 --> 01:12:03.520 care of the amount or the type of food that 1279 01:12:03.600 --> 01:12:06.520 you're eating, then your body's just going to go into 1280 01:12:06.560 --> 01:12:08.399 storage mode because it doesn't know what to do with 1281 01:12:08.479 --> 01:12:12.039 it or how to process it properly. So that ends 1282 01:12:12.119 --> 01:12:16.119 up causing the weight gain after a while. Is it's 1283 01:12:16.279 --> 01:12:21.239 trumping that insulin because in the hormonal hierarchy, it's above it. 1284 01:12:21.840 --> 01:12:24.920 If you can keep your cortisol level where it should 1285 01:12:24.960 --> 01:12:28.439 be everything and only active when it should be, then 1286 01:12:28.920 --> 01:12:32.760 it doesn't interfere with insulin. So there's a couple of 1287 01:12:32.840 --> 01:12:35.760 ways that you can work to reduce it if that's 1288 01:12:35.880 --> 01:12:38.880 the case. And I know this is strangely a hot 1289 01:12:38.960 --> 01:12:42.520 topic now, but I mean it is an ancient thing 1290 01:12:42.640 --> 01:12:44.960 that people have always done for tail as old as 1291 01:12:45.039 --> 01:12:48.720 time is intermitt and fasting. Our bodies are not meant 1292 01:12:48.760 --> 01:12:52.600 to eat all day long, and the Bible is chuck 1293 01:12:52.680 --> 01:12:56.560 full of instances of fasting, especially if you want higher 1294 01:12:56.640 --> 01:12:58.760 spirituality and all of that kind of stuff. But if 1295 01:12:58.800 --> 01:13:01.000 you really think about what it does for your body, 1296 01:13:01.600 --> 01:13:05.359 your entire body, especially on twenty four hour fasts, you 1297 01:13:05.520 --> 01:13:10.560 get into autophagy and you're basically what happens is your 1298 01:13:10.640 --> 01:13:13.600 body starts to turn on the bad cells within it, 1299 01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:17.199 and it starts to eat up the bad cells, and 1300 01:13:17.439 --> 01:13:21.439 your cells then restore it in a higher state because 1301 01:13:21.479 --> 01:13:24.840 it's not constantly being overloaded and bombarded with that food 1302 01:13:24.920 --> 01:13:27.920 that you're putting in there. If your if your insulin 1303 01:13:28.159 --> 01:13:31.159 is not if your pancreas is not creating enough insulin 1304 01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:33.680 to handle the amount or the type of food you're eating, 1305 01:13:34.319 --> 01:13:36.279 that needs to be The first thing that you control 1306 01:13:36.800 --> 01:13:40.159 is timing, Like what do I really need to eat? 1307 01:13:40.720 --> 01:13:43.479 What should I be eating? Should it be sugar is 1308 01:13:43.560 --> 01:13:44.760 not the answer? Right? 1309 01:13:45.640 --> 01:13:50.680 And no, our alcohol which is foods right, because most 1310 01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:53.680 all of it I could go sugar, sugar carbs, right, 1311 01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:57.159 It all kind of you know, reduces down to sugar 1312 01:13:57.279 --> 01:13:58.600 and that causes inflammation. 1313 01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:01.960 Then you know there's gonna be people that are like, 1314 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:05.439 but what about that good carbs. Well, I'm not entirely 1315 01:14:05.600 --> 01:14:09.199 convinced anymore that the grain good. The good carbs that 1316 01:14:09.239 --> 01:14:13.680 are grain like brown rice and regular rice, I think 1317 01:14:13.880 --> 01:14:16.239 once in a blue moon is okay. But the carbs 1318 01:14:16.279 --> 01:14:20.079 I'm talking about that are good are gonna be uh, 1319 01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:25.199 grapefruit and the carby sort of vegetables that grow from 1320 01:14:25.279 --> 01:14:28.880 the earth. Those are the true good carbs that are 1321 01:14:28.920 --> 01:14:32.680 going to serve your body a lot better. And so 1322 01:14:33.000 --> 01:14:35.520 when your body is getting the proper amount of nutrition, 1323 01:14:36.079 --> 01:14:39.479 those carbs are not gonna spike the glycemic index, right 1324 01:14:40.439 --> 01:14:44.399 The bagel carbs will, the even quin wa carbs will 1325 01:14:44.479 --> 01:14:48.680 spike the glycemic index point. So I've really kind of 1326 01:14:48.720 --> 01:14:52.119 taken that into consideration, and I don't eat that stuff 1327 01:14:52.199 --> 01:14:55.319 as often as I used to. I'm currently following an 1328 01:14:55.359 --> 01:14:59.079 eating plan that wraps all this up together, and it's 1329 01:14:59.479 --> 01:15:04.680 you know, inner and fasting mixed with only eating protein, 1330 01:15:04.840 --> 01:15:07.520 fruit and vegetables. That's it, not even oils or fats. 1331 01:15:08.399 --> 01:15:13.159 And I've lost thirteen pounds in like twenty days. So 1332 01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:15.439 that's the other thing that they tell us is that 1333 01:15:15.640 --> 01:15:19.640 it's not healthy to lose weight fast. Well, it's not true. 1334 01:15:19.920 --> 01:15:23.920 That's a lie. And what the misnomer is here, is 1335 01:15:24.039 --> 01:15:27.800 that human beings think, oh I can get fast weight 1336 01:15:27.880 --> 01:15:30.880 loss and just go right back to what I was 1337 01:15:30.960 --> 01:15:31.720 doing before, and. 1338 01:15:31.760 --> 01:15:33.199 I should be funey can't. 1339 01:15:33.800 --> 01:15:35.920 No, you can't. And the thing is is like the 1340 01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:39.079 fast weight loss doesn't give you enough time to change this, 1341 01:15:39.920 --> 01:15:42.800 and your brain is not changing and saying, Okay, this 1342 01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:45.560 needs to be how I am now. And the older 1343 01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:48.680 we get, the less food we need and the less 1344 01:15:48.760 --> 01:15:52.239 heavy dense foods that we need. But again, you know, 1345 01:15:52.720 --> 01:15:54.600 I know everybody's like, but I want it. 1346 01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:55.399 I love it. 1347 01:15:55.880 --> 01:15:58.439 But the thing is is, and I'm not saying don't 1348 01:15:58.520 --> 01:16:02.840 enjoy food. I'm just saying we get so attached to food, right, 1349 01:16:02.920 --> 01:16:07.199 it goes beyond emotional eating. It's like everybody. If anybody 1350 01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:09.920 says to me like, oh I just can't give up 1351 01:16:10.000 --> 01:16:14.319 my you know, my crembreulet after whatever dinner, I'm gonna say, 1352 01:16:14.439 --> 01:16:17.319 you're emotionally attached to food. And it has nothing any 1353 01:16:17.399 --> 01:16:21.199 food person that tells me they're a foodie unless it's 1354 01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:24.760 like for the sheer benefit of your your earth suit 1355 01:16:24.880 --> 01:16:29.000 to survive and be you know, have enough nutrition, then 1356 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:33.000 you are emotionally attached to food because it is if 1357 01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:37.119 you can like intermittent fast for well, I only eat 1358 01:16:37.159 --> 01:16:40.399 between twelve and eight during the day, and I can 1359 01:16:40.479 --> 01:16:44.000 tell you that my stomach definitely about an hour and 1360 01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:46.800 a half after I'm done with that lunch meal, I'm 1361 01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:48.960 ready to eat, but I don't eat until about five 1362 01:16:49.079 --> 01:16:52.399 five thirty. But I'm not. I never get angry because 1363 01:16:52.439 --> 01:16:54.279 my blood sugar levels are under control. 1364 01:16:54.960 --> 01:16:59.920 So Lendy Mommy ask you this because there is death 1365 01:17:00.000 --> 01:17:11.640 definitely conflicting information out there about women, especially fasting and 1366 01:17:11.800 --> 01:17:16.039 doing intermittent fasting, and how it can you know, make 1367 01:17:16.119 --> 01:17:18.760 your quarters all levels go crazy and stuff, and you 1368 01:17:18.840 --> 01:17:25.680 should always eat breakfast, especially if you're female. And that 1369 01:17:25.880 --> 01:17:31.399 may be because everybody's body's different. There needs, dietary needs 1370 01:17:31.439 --> 01:17:36.920 are different. But how how true do you think that is? 1371 01:17:38.000 --> 01:17:41.079 Well, I think it's not one hundred percent true for everybody. 1372 01:17:41.159 --> 01:17:44.000 And when somebody makes statements like that, they're basically putting 1373 01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:46.520 every single woman in the same class, and we're all different, 1374 01:17:46.600 --> 01:17:51.239 just like you said, So I think what's the goal, right, Like, 1375 01:17:51.439 --> 01:17:54.760 if your goal is to be nourished and you don't 1376 01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:59.680 have weight to lose, definitely you should be eating a breakfast, 1377 01:18:00.039 --> 01:18:02.520 but maybe not until ten. It doesn't have to be 1378 01:18:02.600 --> 01:18:04.319 at five in the morning when you wake up, right, 1379 01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:06.079 so you still have a little bit of a fast 1380 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:10.560 in there. And actually the science shows that intermittent fasting 1381 01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:14.840 reduces cortisol, it does not jacket the I think where 1382 01:18:14.960 --> 01:18:18.920 intermittent fasting gets under question is in the lean muscle mass. 1383 01:18:18.960 --> 01:18:22.000 They think that you're it's eating away your muscle masks 1384 01:18:22.039 --> 01:18:24.359 master than your fat. And that's well, and I. 1385 01:18:24.479 --> 01:18:29.159 Will say that right there is a big thing for 1386 01:18:29.359 --> 01:18:35.319 people that like dos specific diets or whatever. But it's 1387 01:18:35.399 --> 01:18:38.399 not the diet that's at fault. It's you that's a 1388 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:43.119 fault because you're under eating. You're not eating enough to 1389 01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:46.119 keep your body nourished so that it's not breaking down 1390 01:18:46.199 --> 01:18:46.800 your muscles. 1391 01:18:47.359 --> 01:18:50.520 Yes, and so the plan that I'm on to release weight, 1392 01:18:50.600 --> 01:18:52.600 and I do a lot of things. This is also 1393 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.439 in my human design, which is kind of funny. I 1394 01:18:55.640 --> 01:18:58.880 experiment and I do things on purpose, like I did 1395 01:18:58.920 --> 01:19:02.119 a three day water fast in January, which I had 1396 01:19:02.199 --> 01:19:04.520 never done before. One of the hardest fucking things I've 1397 01:19:04.560 --> 01:19:04.800 done in. 1398 01:19:04.800 --> 01:19:06.000 My life now that would kill me. 1399 01:19:08.000 --> 01:19:10.439 I was doing the glucose monitoring and making sure my 1400 01:19:10.479 --> 01:19:13.479 blood levels were good so I was taking good care 1401 01:19:13.520 --> 01:19:17.079 of myself, drinking electrolytes throughout the process and making sure 1402 01:19:17.119 --> 01:19:20.319 that I did not drop below a certain blood sugar level. 1403 01:19:21.560 --> 01:19:25.520 But the reason I did that was because I wanted 1404 01:19:25.680 --> 01:19:29.920 my cells, the cells of my body to restore and rejuvenate. 1405 01:19:30.039 --> 01:19:32.399 And it takes seventy two hours to hit the point 1406 01:19:32.439 --> 01:19:37.319 where one hundred percent of your cells have completely restored themselves, 1407 01:19:37.359 --> 01:19:40.840 and like your body turns on the bad cells and 1408 01:19:41.159 --> 01:19:44.840 so like if there were cancer cells floating around somewhere, 1409 01:19:45.039 --> 01:19:48.640 like they're gone, right, because your body is beautifully created 1410 01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:50.079 to take care of itself like. 1411 01:19:50.119 --> 01:19:53.039 That, right, absolutely not meant to eat all day. 1412 01:19:53.239 --> 01:19:57.119 We were not. So now I'm now I'm doing this 1413 01:19:57.399 --> 01:19:59.479 because I do have a little extra fluff that I 1414 01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:03.600 could lose reute release and that's my goal here and 1415 01:20:03.720 --> 01:20:06.840 it is working. But what I will but what I'll 1416 01:20:06.880 --> 01:20:10.039 tell you is is no, it's a very low calorie 1417 01:20:10.239 --> 01:20:14.600 thing because it's just protein, vegetables and a piece of fruit. However, 1418 01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:19.199 I'm not supposed to exercise either. Walking is about the 1419 01:20:19.279 --> 01:20:21.960 most that I can do, and one day I walked 1420 01:20:22.119 --> 01:20:24.880 way too long because I think I can just go 1421 01:20:25.000 --> 01:20:27.079 for five miles and it ain't no thing because I 1422 01:20:27.199 --> 01:20:30.520 have energy and eating like this. Oh my gosh, the 1423 01:20:30.680 --> 01:20:34.319 energy's insane, by the way. But I overdid it and 1424 01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:38.439 my body gained because it was holding water because I 1425 01:20:38.560 --> 01:20:41.920 was inflamed because I did too much. So you have 1426 01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:45.520 to understand like why and how to do this properly. 1427 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.199 And this is only for forty days, it's not It's 1428 01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.640 not like how Shannon's eating for the rest of her life. 1429 01:20:50.880 --> 01:20:53.399 Right, I will I will move. 1430 01:20:53.840 --> 01:20:56.800 There is like a gradual move through a little tiny 1431 01:20:56.840 --> 01:20:59.840 bit of regular keto and then kind of eighty twenty 1432 01:21:00.039 --> 01:21:03.239 lifestyle sort of a thing. But again, I like to 1433 01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:05.359 do this stuff so that I can coach others because 1434 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:10.560 my sister, who she probably won't be watching this, so 1435 01:21:10.680 --> 01:21:13.479 I can I can care. But she probably has over 1436 01:21:13.560 --> 01:21:17.039 one hundred pounds to lose, and she has already lost 1437 01:21:17.560 --> 01:21:21.039 about thirteen herself in about the same length of time, 1438 01:21:21.760 --> 01:21:25.520 and this has been extremely difficult for her. Her mindset 1439 01:21:25.640 --> 01:21:25.840 was not. 1440 01:21:25.880 --> 01:21:26.680 Where it was supposed to. 1441 01:21:27.039 --> 01:21:29.920 I'm never a bity partner, right, so like every day 1442 01:21:29.960 --> 01:21:31.960 we're checking in, how are you, did you lose? What's 1443 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:35.520 going on? And we decided, you know, we we both 1444 01:21:35.560 --> 01:21:41.039 have had frustrations on this already her especially she she 1445 01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:44.119 has caused herself to have what's called the keto flu, 1446 01:21:44.720 --> 01:21:48.159 and that is like, you know, headaches, diarrhea, dizziness, like 1447 01:21:48.279 --> 01:21:50.960 every day and she's miserable. And I said, well, that 1448 01:21:51.119 --> 01:21:53.640 tells me that you went off the carbs way too fast. 1449 01:21:53.680 --> 01:21:58.600 This was way too harsh, right, So I put her 1450 01:21:58.880 --> 01:22:02.119 on a little tiny bit of carb for her first meal, 1451 01:22:02.239 --> 01:22:03.960 and I said, just do this for the first meal. 1452 01:22:04.039 --> 01:22:07.600 So you are giving yourself the energy because your body 1453 01:22:07.880 --> 01:22:10.720 got too extreme too fast. So you know, if you're 1454 01:22:10.760 --> 01:22:12.680 going to do something like this, get a coach or 1455 01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:15.119 somebody that knows what the hell they're talking about and 1456 01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:17.479 go through it. Because I can tell you if this 1457 01:22:17.680 --> 01:22:20.199 was dangerous or not safe, I would not be continuing 1458 01:22:20.239 --> 01:22:24.880 it myself. For me right now, I feel amazing. The 1459 01:22:25.239 --> 01:22:30.319 intermittent fasting is working really really well for me because 1460 01:22:30.359 --> 01:22:32.199 my body. And I've said this, you could probably go 1461 01:22:32.279 --> 01:22:35.199 back on our other podcast, like I don't like food 1462 01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:38.039 in my body. I feel so good when there is 1463 01:22:38.239 --> 01:22:40.920 no when I cannot feel a gut full of food, 1464 01:22:41.720 --> 01:22:45.319 I work out better, I have better energy, And it's 1465 01:22:45.399 --> 01:22:48.319 because your food is only supposed to be fuel. It's 1466 01:22:48.399 --> 01:22:50.520 not supposed to sit like a rock in your gut, 1467 01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:53.600 you know, And I just function better. I sleep better. 1468 01:22:54.640 --> 01:22:56.560 So even though I can eat and tell eight in 1469 01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:59.680 my window, I'm done by about six six thirty usually 1470 01:23:00.239 --> 01:23:02.840 because my food will not digest if I eat it 1471 01:23:02.880 --> 01:23:05.039 at eight, it will not digest in time for me 1472 01:23:05.159 --> 01:23:06.720 to go to bed at eight forty six, by the way, 1473 01:23:07.199 --> 01:23:10.159 and I cannot sleep with a gutful of food, and 1474 01:23:10.680 --> 01:23:13.680 that's not a good thing either. It causes weird dreams 1475 01:23:13.760 --> 01:23:17.319 and like you're hot and it's uncomfortable. So I have 1476 01:23:17.479 --> 01:23:19.720 to be fully digested before I go to bed too. 1477 01:23:19.920 --> 01:23:23.479 And that's just me because I know my body. But 1478 01:23:23.680 --> 01:23:26.079 this is just you know, this is a safe way 1479 01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:28.000 to do it, as long as you're not going to 1480 01:23:28.119 --> 01:23:32.319 the extreme. That being said, the protein piece of this 1481 01:23:32.640 --> 01:23:34.640 is where all of the calories come in, so it's 1482 01:23:34.800 --> 01:23:37.359 it's a fairly low protein. I took the liberty of 1483 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:40.720 adding myself a couple ounces of protein rather than just 1484 01:23:41.000 --> 01:23:43.960 four ounces, I'm giving myself six, which is still a 1485 01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:47.359 deficit for me because I'm a high energy burner. And 1486 01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:49.840 so you know, knowing that, you know, it's like you 1487 01:23:49.920 --> 01:23:51.560 got to have all of the facts. You can't just 1488 01:23:51.640 --> 01:23:55.720 go into it willy nilly. That's why most of this stuff. 1489 01:23:56.159 --> 01:23:58.840 People want to do it for free. People want to 1490 01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:01.520 do it like and want to have success at it, 1491 01:24:01.640 --> 01:24:03.920 but either their mindset isn't ready for it and they 1492 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:07.359 need a coach to like keep them accountable, or they 1493 01:24:07.439 --> 01:24:09.680 don't know what's happening to their body and they go, oh, 1494 01:24:09.760 --> 01:24:13.039 that's unsafe because it didn't work for me. It doesn't 1495 01:24:13.039 --> 01:24:15.760 mean it's unsafe. You caused a Harkshomer response. 1496 01:24:15.439 --> 01:24:18.560 You're right like freaking out one hundred percent. 1497 01:24:18.720 --> 01:24:21.439 And that's what a lot of people, no matter what 1498 01:24:21.680 --> 01:24:26.199 kind of diet they start, whether it's carnivor keto, whatever, whatever, 1499 01:24:28.039 --> 01:24:31.079 you have to be ready to make a change, and 1500 01:24:31.319 --> 01:24:34.159 you have to know in your mind, Okay, I'm going 1501 01:24:34.239 --> 01:24:38.720 to give up whatever it is, sugar carbs, blah blah blah, 1502 01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:43.199 and you have to do it at the level that 1503 01:24:43.319 --> 01:24:47.399 you're comfortable with. Wait, if you're if you're like a 1504 01:24:47.640 --> 01:24:50.840 go getter person and you don't have an addictive personality 1505 01:24:50.960 --> 01:24:54.800 and you can stop like all sugar cold turkey, great 1506 01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:57.279 for you if you have that mindset. 1507 01:24:57.359 --> 01:24:59.359 But some people don't, and they have. 1508 01:24:59.520 --> 01:25:01.720 To ease, and so you have to ease in with 1509 01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:04.880 like three days a week for so long and then 1510 01:25:04.960 --> 01:25:07.279 go to four or five days a week or whatever 1511 01:25:07.600 --> 01:25:10.439 so that your body doesn't freak out. 1512 01:25:11.279 --> 01:25:14.640 My favorite thing is when people say I've tried everything. 1513 01:25:16.880 --> 01:25:20.359 I keep this around for that exact situation when you 1514 01:25:20.560 --> 01:25:26.319 have exhausted all possibilities, remember this you haven't, because I'm 1515 01:25:26.319 --> 01:25:28.199 pretty sure I said that a time or two and 1516 01:25:28.319 --> 01:25:31.680 I was just saying this was hormones. And but I 1517 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:34.159 you know, I'm a natural path and I am as 1518 01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:36.039 fluffy as I was. I was at an all time 1519 01:25:36.119 --> 01:25:39.239 high for me, and I'm like, uh, this isn't okay. 1520 01:25:39.439 --> 01:25:41.840 Like I'm helping people with their health, and like, look 1521 01:25:41.880 --> 01:25:44.560 at me, and now I know I don't have to 1522 01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:46.279 be the skinniest thing on the face of the planet. 1523 01:25:46.319 --> 01:25:49.000 I get that. I'm I feel like I have that control. 1524 01:25:49.439 --> 01:25:51.880 But like I had said, I had tried everything. I 1525 01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:54.479 have paid three hundred and fifty dollars a month for 1526 01:25:54.600 --> 01:25:58.720 fuelings on one plan and it worked until it basically 1527 01:25:58.840 --> 01:26:02.840 taught my metabolism to stop and I retrain my metabolism. 1528 01:26:04.560 --> 01:26:07.239 I have done the healthy eating. I haven't eaten fast 1529 01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:13.680 food in seventeen years right, Hey, Oscar, quick, Oscar, Oscar, 1530 01:26:14.680 --> 01:26:17.760 he's such a jerk. Sorry, if you can hear him, 1531 01:26:18.279 --> 01:26:20.000 I don't know what he's barking at. But it's moving. 1532 01:26:20.279 --> 01:26:25.399 You can get so you haven't tried everything, and sometimes 1533 01:26:25.479 --> 01:26:28.479 you just need a tailored program for you, for you. 1534 01:26:29.600 --> 01:26:31.680 But that's what I love about what I'm doing is 1535 01:26:31.760 --> 01:26:34.239 it's a mixture of a couple of different things. It's 1536 01:26:34.359 --> 01:26:38.800 not just this like new fad thing. And the other 1537 01:26:38.880 --> 01:26:40.640 thing I love about it is that it's not forever. 1538 01:26:40.840 --> 01:26:43.319 Because I have always said, if somebody tells you to 1539 01:26:43.399 --> 01:26:48.039 do something for life, run you shouldn't know anything. Your 1540 01:26:48.079 --> 01:26:52.039 body's changing, everything's shifting and changing, and I think we 1541 01:26:52.199 --> 01:26:56.159 also this might kind of flip us into that conspiracy side, 1542 01:26:56.279 --> 01:26:59.000 but I don't care. I think it's truth. We have 1543 01:26:59.119 --> 01:27:03.359 to also look at what's happening in how the energy 1544 01:27:03.439 --> 01:27:06.920 of the earth is shifting. It is the human resonance 1545 01:27:07.039 --> 01:27:10.600 is definitely shifting. We've got more solar activity than we've 1546 01:27:10.640 --> 01:27:12.960 ever had, and I think more is coming, and it's 1547 01:27:13.039 --> 01:27:16.760 just fucking with things like hard. But we're in this 1548 01:27:16.920 --> 01:27:19.640 place where we're like, Wow, I don't understand, is it 1549 01:27:19.720 --> 01:27:23.279 a full moon like, No, it has nothing to do 1550 01:27:23.439 --> 01:27:26.199 with the moon, by the way, which I will reserve 1551 01:27:26.279 --> 01:27:29.319 my comments about that. But you know, there is a 1552 01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:32.560 lot of stuff that we're shifting through as a collective 1553 01:27:33.159 --> 01:27:36.199 that we have to look at that is changing how 1554 01:27:36.680 --> 01:27:41.199 we are supposed to eat. So if you continue to go, oh, well, 1555 01:27:41.279 --> 01:27:43.439 I need to go back to, you know, the meat 1556 01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:45.560 and potatoes like I was raised on, because I was 1557 01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:48.520 so thin back that, well, your meat and potatoes didn't 1558 01:27:48.560 --> 01:27:50.680 have all the crap in them that they have today. 1559 01:27:51.039 --> 01:27:53.039 So not only do we have to think on our 1560 01:27:53.119 --> 01:27:55.840 feet because they are trying to poison us in this country. 1561 01:27:56.800 --> 01:28:00.520 We're headed in a good direction so far, finger crossed. 1562 01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:04.319 Let's hope it continues. But our food isn't what it 1563 01:28:04.520 --> 01:28:10.039 was when most did and so we have to start 1564 01:28:10.079 --> 01:28:13.000 looking at what EMF radiation is doing, what the solar 1565 01:28:13.119 --> 01:28:17.199 energies are doing, the consciousness of Earth, what the earth 1566 01:28:17.359 --> 01:28:21.479 resonance is doing. Like we're shifting and a lot of 1567 01:28:21.600 --> 01:28:25.279 people can't eat like they used to anyway, and I 1568 01:28:25.880 --> 01:28:29.560 don't I think we need to stop normalizing saying it's 1569 01:28:29.720 --> 01:28:33.119 our age. I've had so many people say, oh, well, 1570 01:28:33.159 --> 01:28:35.159 you know, once you hit forty that's when it all 1571 01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:38.600 goes downhill, and I'm like, I'm almost forty six, and 1572 01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:41.399 I feel like the best in the best condition of 1573 01:28:41.520 --> 01:28:46.000 my life because this is like getting square in addition 1574 01:28:46.159 --> 01:28:49.560 to me getting the physical down, you know, and getting 1575 01:28:49.600 --> 01:28:52.960 it like cohesive, and I feel amazing. 1576 01:28:53.159 --> 01:28:57.399 So I can say that too. And I am literally 1577 01:28:58.199 --> 01:28:59.439 a very short. 1578 01:28:59.279 --> 01:29:03.119 Few months away from the discount on the senior menu. 1579 01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:11.920 I can't wait for that. Actually, that's awesome. But yeah, 1580 01:29:11.960 --> 01:29:14.159 we need to stop saying age is a culprit. It's not. 1581 01:29:14.359 --> 01:29:17.920 It doesn't have to be at all, but so is 1582 01:29:18.000 --> 01:29:21.119 the This is the big thing I think when you 1583 01:29:21.640 --> 01:29:24.079 I think, this is what everyone watching this needs to 1584 01:29:24.479 --> 01:29:27.960 first consider. When you're thinking about doing any kind of 1585 01:29:28.000 --> 01:29:32.359 a plan or correcting corsel, whatever you're doing, you need 1586 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:35.079 to sit with your thoughts and think, Okay, what do 1587 01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:40.359 I know now? Oh? Well, I know that they whoever 1588 01:29:40.439 --> 01:29:44.760 they are, it's arbitrary. But whatever they say that it's 1589 01:29:44.840 --> 01:29:48.079 not safe for this, I'm gonna say, stop right there 1590 01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:51.520 and challenge that thought. If you don't start taking captive 1591 01:29:51.520 --> 01:29:53.880 of your thoughts and challenging it, you're never gonna get 1592 01:29:53.920 --> 01:29:58.039 past it because it's not true. There are more truths 1593 01:29:58.079 --> 01:30:01.279 out there that we never even can considered before. There 1594 01:30:01.319 --> 01:30:04.199 are true ways of doing things that we haven't even 1595 01:30:04.279 --> 01:30:07.159 heard of yet. And as we shift, we have to 1596 01:30:07.239 --> 01:30:10.359 be doing new things anyway. So why would we be like, oh, 1597 01:30:10.399 --> 01:30:12.520 that doesn't work. I just know that doesn't work. How 1598 01:30:12.640 --> 01:30:13.479 the fuck do you know? 1599 01:30:14.199 --> 01:30:19.720 Well, again, that's a control thing, right, because you think 1600 01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:23.159 that you are the genius of the universe, and you 1601 01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:26.920 know more than God who created your body system in 1602 01:30:27.039 --> 01:30:30.079 the first place, to work perfectly. 1603 01:30:30.399 --> 01:30:32.239 We're the ones that screw it up. 1604 01:30:32.760 --> 01:30:32.920 Yep. 1605 01:30:33.720 --> 01:30:34.399 And why is that? 1606 01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:38.239 Like you talked about supplements earlier, how many people do 1607 01:30:38.399 --> 01:30:42.880 you talk to that literally take like twenty five silplementths 1608 01:30:42.920 --> 01:30:48.199 a day, oh or more most everything. I need one 1609 01:30:48.319 --> 01:30:50.399 for this, and I need one for that, and I 1610 01:30:50.520 --> 01:30:52.479 heard this on a show, so I better get that, 1611 01:30:52.680 --> 01:30:55.119 and I'm going to do this and this and this. 1612 01:30:56.520 --> 01:30:59.800 I don't feel good on a lot of supplements. 1613 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:01.199 I just do not. 1614 01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:05.399 Like we should be getting all of that from our 1615 01:31:05.399 --> 01:31:10.319 food anyway. You have supplements. In biblical times, they used oils, 1616 01:31:11.399 --> 01:31:14.600 you know that That was their everything. That was their medicine, 1617 01:31:14.680 --> 01:31:17.000 That was the way that they kept their frequency lifted. 1618 01:31:17.640 --> 01:31:21.520 That was everything and it all came from plants, it 1619 01:31:21.640 --> 01:31:22.800 all came from the earth. 1620 01:31:23.319 --> 01:31:27.720 But it's so easy for us to dismiss everything and 1621 01:31:27.880 --> 01:31:32.000 even the way that our bodies intended to work, because 1622 01:31:32.079 --> 01:31:37.279 we're looking for that uber fast, quick fix, like I have. 1623 01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:40.960 I'm going to take this injection because it's guaranteed I'm 1624 01:31:41.000 --> 01:31:45.359 going to lose weight uber fast. Yeah, but what is 1625 01:31:45.479 --> 01:31:48.039 it doing to your organs? And how is that going 1626 01:31:48.119 --> 01:31:50.800 to shut your body down permanently? 1627 01:31:51.079 --> 01:31:57.359 On another level, anything that they have created, I don't trust, no, 1628 01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:02.720 same don't. I am heartbroken that I keep seeing people 1629 01:32:02.840 --> 01:32:07.560 talk about the injection stuff, because I've also seen pictures 1630 01:32:07.600 --> 01:32:11.199 of somebody who is struggling because like now they can't 1631 01:32:11.239 --> 01:32:14.199 even gain weight and their stomach is completely paralyzed and 1632 01:32:14.319 --> 01:32:20.079 they've ruined themselves. Yeah, I just it's so sad to me. 1633 01:32:20.359 --> 01:32:23.960 It's so sad what we're watching. It's like, rather than 1634 01:32:24.079 --> 01:32:27.399 being grateful for the human experience and being a human, 1635 01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:31.520 it's like people want to look robotic. They inject their face, 1636 01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:34.640 they fix their face, and it's like that number one 1637 01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:37.760 tells me that you don't love yourself if you have 1638 01:32:37.920 --> 01:32:41.479 to fix anything about your face. And I'm sorry I'm 1639 01:32:41.520 --> 01:32:43.880 sorry because a lot of women are like, oh, but 1640 01:32:44.000 --> 01:32:46.760 I don't want the wrinkles, and it's like, oh my gosh, 1641 01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:51.279 then quit stressing out, because that's what's causing your damn wrinkles. 1642 01:32:51.880 --> 01:32:56.239 So you stress out, you're now injecting those wrinkles to 1643 01:32:56.319 --> 01:32:57.880 try to get them to go away. And now you're 1644 01:32:57.960 --> 01:33:01.079 just gonna chase your tail. And honestly, we're meant to 1645 01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:04.159 grow old start embracing this stuff. But we don't have 1646 01:33:04.399 --> 01:33:06.800 to grow old that fast. We can still live forever. 1647 01:33:07.319 --> 01:33:10.159 I mean, it's such a sad thing like that just 1648 01:33:10.239 --> 01:33:12.680 tells me the state of the mental health. 1649 01:33:12.760 --> 01:33:14.239 Right, That absolutely happened. 1650 01:33:15.039 --> 01:33:20.319 So, but that's a good point because with the cortisol 1651 01:33:20.920 --> 01:33:25.760 and it affecting mental and emotional state, right, it affects 1652 01:33:25.800 --> 01:33:29.439 our constant need to be in an emotional state of 1653 01:33:29.680 --> 01:33:35.199 panic and stress, and whatever affects our sleep and our 1654 01:33:35.600 --> 01:33:39.319 ability to release the chemicals that we're supposed to to 1655 01:33:39.479 --> 01:33:44.239 heal while we're sleeping metabolic so you're not processing your 1656 01:33:44.279 --> 01:33:49.720 food or you're having gi issues, upset stomach bouts of 1657 01:33:50.000 --> 01:33:53.760 crazy nauseat of nowhere and stuff. You talked about the 1658 01:33:53.920 --> 01:33:55.960 bone health and the muscles and. 1659 01:33:56.439 --> 01:33:57.079 Stuff like that. 1660 01:33:57.720 --> 01:34:01.560 But it affects, like you said, your skined, your hair, 1661 01:34:02.479 --> 01:34:08.880 your nails, literally, your heart, your immune system, all of that. 1662 01:34:09.079 --> 01:34:14.760 Because if your body loves homeostasis right, loves the normal 1663 01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:19.760 balance of things, and so if we are screwing ourselves 1664 01:34:19.920 --> 01:34:24.359 by doing things that we shouldn't be doing to keep 1665 01:34:24.439 --> 01:34:27.439 ourselves in that constant state of fight or flight, and 1666 01:34:27.479 --> 01:34:31.199 your body's like in a panic mode because it doesn't 1667 01:34:31.359 --> 01:34:36.159 know which way to go. So people can get in 1668 01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:42.600 cortisol dysregulation where it's backwards, like it's supposed to be 1669 01:34:42.800 --> 01:34:45.279 highest in the morning to help you get up and 1670 01:34:45.479 --> 01:34:50.720 wake up and whatever, but instead it's flipped and it's 1671 01:34:50.880 --> 01:34:53.560 really low in the morning, so you have no energy, 1672 01:34:53.720 --> 01:34:58.000 you can't move, and at night it spikes crazy high. 1673 01:34:58.199 --> 01:35:01.279 That would be me. I don't know why I haven't 1674 01:35:01.319 --> 01:35:02.199 figured it out. 1675 01:35:02.079 --> 01:35:06.159 Yet, because I'm not a stressed person. I don't worry 1676 01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:09.600 about all the other stuff. I ground myself, I take 1677 01:35:09.680 --> 01:35:14.520 time for myself. I don't worry about what this person said, 1678 01:35:14.760 --> 01:35:20.880 that person said. I don't control other people's whatever. I 1679 01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:26.279 don't drink, you know, so me, my culprits are probably 1680 01:35:27.079 --> 01:35:31.880 smoking and caffeine because I love tea, but I do. 1681 01:35:32.720 --> 01:35:36.880 I do do the adrenal booster cocktails. I do that, 1682 01:35:37.760 --> 01:35:40.960 you know, and and all of this stuff I eat clean. 1683 01:35:41.159 --> 01:35:43.840 I don't do processed foods and all of that stuff. 1684 01:35:44.359 --> 01:35:48.399 So I'm like, I don't know what all it could be. 1685 01:35:48.680 --> 01:35:54.960 Yeah, yeah, but my body's like still I'm backwards. 1686 01:35:59.760 --> 01:36:02.760 Well, I mean, just shy of telling you to go 1687 01:36:02.880 --> 01:36:06.359 get yourself an or ring. If you notice the time, 1688 01:36:06.560 --> 01:36:08.439 if you if you could look at the chart and 1689 01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:12.079 see when your cortisol is spiking specifically, you would know 1690 01:36:12.239 --> 01:36:15.640 what at what point in your day something had happened 1691 01:36:15.760 --> 01:36:18.039 or whatever it was that was occurring at that point 1692 01:36:18.079 --> 01:36:21.159 in time, and that that helps kind of tip you 1693 01:36:21.239 --> 01:36:22.399 off to what stresses you out. 1694 01:36:22.399 --> 01:36:26.039 But I'm usually like, so chill though, I don't let 1695 01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:29.399 anything bother me. I gave all that up because I 1696 01:36:29.520 --> 01:36:31.920 used to be used to be at a. 1697 01:36:32.720 --> 01:36:36.119 Chart and it's you know, really you know, it's jiggly 1698 01:36:36.199 --> 01:36:39.039 and it kind of spikes, and sometimes it'll spike with me, 1699 01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:41.359 like running around the kitchen trying to pack a lunch 1700 01:36:41.399 --> 01:36:45.000 to leave the house fast. If you're if you do anything, 1701 01:36:45.239 --> 01:36:47.920 like you know, in a hurry, ever, like even just 1702 01:36:48.079 --> 01:36:49.920 randomly that spikes me. 1703 01:36:52.720 --> 01:36:57.359 I'm a sloth when it comes to doing things in 1704 01:36:57.439 --> 01:36:58.159 a quick manner. 1705 01:36:58.880 --> 01:37:01.359 The other thing could just be locking down the sleep 1706 01:37:01.520 --> 01:37:03.039 and working on getting better. 1707 01:37:03.199 --> 01:37:05.960 I think that's my biggest issue, is. 1708 01:37:06.399 --> 01:37:07.880 Not sleeping causes stress too. 1709 01:37:08.319 --> 01:37:11.960 Yeah, and I think that's probably like my biggest thing. 1710 01:37:12.159 --> 01:37:15.199 But I am. It's in that weird stage where I'm like. 1711 01:37:17.439 --> 01:37:21.720 Hot flashes at night and you know whatever, and then 1712 01:37:21.880 --> 01:37:23.720 I'm like I get up and go to the bathroom. 1713 01:37:23.760 --> 01:37:26.439 I'm like, oh Jesus, it's cold in here. I love 1714 01:37:26.600 --> 01:37:30.720 just just sleep in the cold so hot in bed. 1715 01:37:30.800 --> 01:37:32.800 And then when I get up, I'm like, burr, I'm cold, 1716 01:37:32.840 --> 01:37:34.600 and then I'll cover up when I go back to bed. 1717 01:37:34.960 --> 01:37:37.960 That's how I was getting and then later on like 1718 01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:40.640 I'm kicking the covers off because I'm burning alive again. 1719 01:37:41.119 --> 01:37:44.840 I was waking up like having to change my pajamas, 1720 01:37:45.720 --> 01:37:48.800 just drenched. But it wouldn't I wouldn't wake up hot. 1721 01:37:48.880 --> 01:37:51.319 I would wake up after like it was almost like 1722 01:37:51.399 --> 01:37:53.960 after a fever when you when your fever breaks and 1723 01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:57.720 you just start sweating like crazy. That's what I would 1724 01:37:57.720 --> 01:37:59.720 wake up, and I'd be like, dang it again, I'm 1725 01:37:59.760 --> 01:38:03.319 tired to waken up drenched, and so again it was 1726 01:38:03.399 --> 01:38:05.960 like whatever whatever I was doing in the night season, 1727 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:09.399 But that's when all of my symptoms were starting to 1728 01:38:09.640 --> 01:38:13.199 look like it was a hormonal imbalance, and so I 1729 01:38:13.399 --> 01:38:17.760 was working on correcting that as well, and the sleep 1730 01:38:17.840 --> 01:38:21.079 and then the I think the calming down aspect really 1731 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:25.079 really did the most for me. And so it was 1732 01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:27.159 in that moment where I was like, oh my gosh, 1733 01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:29.319 I've got to start teaching women like you've got to 1734 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:32.119 stand up for this. You have to say I need 1735 01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:34.880 to take a break. I have to have one every day. 1736 01:38:35.279 --> 01:38:38.199 Let's stop say and we don't take eat lunch at 1737 01:38:38.239 --> 01:38:41.479 our desk while we're working. Stop it. Why, I mean, 1738 01:38:41.800 --> 01:38:44.399 is it really worth the hourly wage that you're getting paid, 1739 01:38:44.479 --> 01:38:46.359 or if you're salaried, why the fuck are you giving 1740 01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:49.159 them all of your time? Like that? Draw boundaries, you know, 1741 01:38:50.800 --> 01:38:53.840 take your time. Breathe. I have a little device called 1742 01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:56.960 a moon bird and it was so cute. I got 1743 01:38:57.000 --> 01:38:59.600 it at the Biohacking conference a year ago. And it 1744 01:39:01.119 --> 01:39:03.359 has wings that kind of come out when you breathe in, 1745 01:39:03.720 --> 01:39:06.560 and then the wings will go down when you're supposed 1746 01:39:06.600 --> 01:39:09.479 to breathe out, and it teaches you different breathing techniques 1747 01:39:09.800 --> 01:39:11.680 and you're just holding it like a little bird in 1748 01:39:11.760 --> 01:39:14.159 your hand. When you feel the wings come out, that 1749 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:16.680 triggers you to breathe, and so you don't have to 1750 01:39:16.720 --> 01:39:18.840 think about it up here because in your hand it's 1751 01:39:18.920 --> 01:39:21.079 kind of making you go, oh, okay, I need to 1752 01:39:21.079 --> 01:39:23.760 breathe in now. It teaches you like the box breath 1753 01:39:23.880 --> 01:39:27.680 and different styles of breathing, and that's where I started. 1754 01:39:27.760 --> 01:39:30.680 That's where I started to really like calm down and 1755 01:39:30.840 --> 01:39:33.399 like bring that HRV level down. 1756 01:39:33.760 --> 01:39:37.479 So yeah, and save for me like at night because 1757 01:39:38.039 --> 01:39:41.159 you know, my husband goes to bed earlier than I do. 1758 01:39:42.239 --> 01:39:45.000 I have that time by myself at night where I 1759 01:39:45.199 --> 01:39:50.680 just like sit and you know, relax and whatever. And 1760 01:39:51.760 --> 01:39:55.479 you know, I go outside a lot, and so like 1761 01:39:55.640 --> 01:40:01.000 I'm constantly like you know, getting fresh air to nature 1762 01:40:01.239 --> 01:40:03.760 stuff like that, and so I'm very good about like 1763 01:40:04.520 --> 01:40:07.520 taking a break, grounding stuff like that. 1764 01:40:07.880 --> 01:40:08.239 Is just. 1765 01:40:09.960 --> 01:40:11.079 Trying to get the sleep. 1766 01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:17.199 Yeah, yeah, and it might be a hormone thing, you know, 1767 01:40:17.680 --> 01:40:19.600 just like trying to balance that, which you can do 1768 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:22.199 with herbs. I think you're an herb person. Oh yeah, 1769 01:40:22.680 --> 01:40:24.680 there's lots of different herbs that you can use to 1770 01:40:24.760 --> 01:40:24.920 do that. 1771 01:40:25.199 --> 01:40:29.319 And yeah, so that's what I want people to know that, 1772 01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:34.359 Like it can be really high for you all the time, 1773 01:40:35.079 --> 01:40:37.239 it can be really low for you all the time. 1774 01:40:37.319 --> 01:40:40.720 And there's different problems that come along with you know, 1775 01:40:41.000 --> 01:40:44.279 each one of the things. But you can also be 1776 01:40:44.399 --> 01:40:47.560 a critter like me where mine is just just regulated 1777 01:40:47.640 --> 01:40:51.119 and flip flopped from the way it's supposed to work. 1778 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:54.359 And you know, so there's all kinds of people and 1779 01:40:54.560 --> 01:41:00.680 everybody's very very different about how you know, they can 1780 01:41:00.760 --> 01:41:03.680 do it. Like if it's really high, you're going to 1781 01:41:03.760 --> 01:41:07.960 have that problem with the weight gain and no matter 1782 01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:10.920 what you do, you're still going to gain weight type 1783 01:41:11.039 --> 01:41:15.000 thing which is a lot of women because you're not 1784 01:41:15.319 --> 01:41:19.560 treating your body properly. You're not doing the things that 1785 01:41:19.680 --> 01:41:23.840 you need to do to stop causing all the inflammation 1786 01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:24.840 and stuff in there. 1787 01:41:24.960 --> 01:41:28.000 And it's a balance. And you know, without living with 1788 01:41:28.119 --> 01:41:31.079 a person, I can't say what each person needs to do. 1789 01:41:31.199 --> 01:41:34.199 But it's different for everybody. I mean, you know, like 1790 01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:36.960 I would tell you most women are working out too 1791 01:41:37.079 --> 01:41:41.199 hard for them. You know, are we paying attention to 1792 01:41:41.279 --> 01:41:43.600 the products that we're putting on and in our body 1793 01:41:43.640 --> 01:41:47.239 which causes hormone disruption, So your hormone disruption could be 1794 01:41:47.399 --> 01:41:51.439 from something else, but then causing the sleep issue. And 1795 01:41:51.560 --> 01:41:54.039 it's then this cord is all spikes and you're actually 1796 01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:57.840 spiking backwards, whereas oxygen and should be first, and then 1797 01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:01.520 you know, should take care of that hierarchy. So I 1798 01:42:01.680 --> 01:42:04.760 started just focusing on it, because what you focus on grows. 1799 01:42:05.199 --> 01:42:09.000 I started focusing on things that brought me joy. And 1800 01:42:09.319 --> 01:42:12.000 one of the things that I this is so funny, 1801 01:42:12.119 --> 01:42:14.279 I knew brought me the most you. 1802 01:42:14.680 --> 01:42:17.279 Thought about me, and then you were like, oh my god, 1803 01:42:17.359 --> 01:42:17.640 I'm so. 1804 01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:20.960 Happy I did. And then the second thought that I had, 1805 01:42:21.560 --> 01:42:24.920 I was like, you know, I love theater. I should 1806 01:42:24.960 --> 01:42:26.920 go and try out for a play. And it was 1807 01:42:27.000 --> 01:42:29.960 funny because right after I had said that to myself, 1808 01:42:30.600 --> 01:42:33.880 Facebook roles that the community theater was having these tryouts. 1809 01:42:34.319 --> 01:42:36.920 I didn't tell anyone that I knew. I went by 1810 01:42:37.000 --> 01:42:39.560 myself because it was only for me. I was only 1811 01:42:39.680 --> 01:42:42.079 doing it because it brought me joy, and I thought, 1812 01:42:42.560 --> 01:42:45.079 if I get a part, whatever, but I want to 1813 01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:47.319 go and do this for me and be happy that 1814 01:42:47.479 --> 01:42:50.319 I put myself out there to try out for a play. 1815 01:42:51.239 --> 01:42:54.079 It was a very small cast, of like five total people, 1816 01:42:54.199 --> 01:42:59.359 and I got in and what I realized when I 1817 01:42:59.520 --> 01:43:01.840 was there is my ring was showing me that my 1818 01:43:01.960 --> 01:43:05.359 cortisol levels were tanking. When I was there. I would 1819 01:43:05.439 --> 01:43:08.720 be on my feet acting in a scene that caused 1820 01:43:08.760 --> 01:43:11.399 me to move around a lot, and my cortisol would 1821 01:43:11.399 --> 01:43:15.199 be super low, and I'm like, okay, okay, now I 1822 01:43:15.279 --> 01:43:18.159 can identify what Shannon's issue is. So it could just 1823 01:43:18.279 --> 01:43:20.840 be a matter of you needing to do something that 1824 01:43:21.279 --> 01:43:26.640 lights your heart up because it's producing oxytocin, not the cortisol. 1825 01:43:26.760 --> 01:43:28.680 But do you know what I'm saying, Like, you know 1826 01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:33.520 what's funny about that is what brings me happiness and 1827 01:43:33.640 --> 01:43:36.720 joy is helping other people, which I literally do. 1828 01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:40.880 All day long, every day. 1829 01:43:41.640 --> 01:43:45.720 But also with that comes emotion and stuff like that. 1830 01:43:45.960 --> 01:43:51.359 That's why the constant need for you know, my downtime 1831 01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:55.960 at rest and relaxation and stuff like that, because people 1832 01:43:56.039 --> 01:43:59.640 bring a lot of emotions and I have to make 1833 01:43:59.680 --> 01:44:03.560 sure that those are not attaching to me in the 1834 01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:07.640 way that I'm internalizing those as my own because they're 1835 01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:10.920 definitely not. Yeah, it's very mindful of that. 1836 01:44:11.600 --> 01:44:15.479 You're an EmPATH, and so that's where that gets really tricky. 1837 01:44:16.199 --> 01:44:21.560 Yeah, So that's that's my thing, is that's what makes 1838 01:44:21.640 --> 01:44:27.000 me happy, or animals make me very happy. That Hen's 1839 01:44:27.039 --> 01:44:33.199 why I'm outside a lot. But when I leave the house, 1840 01:44:34.319 --> 01:44:36.560 because of the area that we live in, there's like 1841 01:44:36.680 --> 01:44:40.359 a lot of farms and stuff around here. So I 1842 01:44:40.479 --> 01:44:44.319 can literally drive down the street and see goats and 1843 01:44:44.520 --> 01:44:49.920 cows and horses and donkeys and more cows and more goats, 1844 01:44:50.279 --> 01:44:53.119 and I'm like, I roll down the window and I talk. 1845 01:44:53.039 --> 01:44:56.520 To them, and I'm like, I'm like, I love you goats. 1846 01:44:56.720 --> 01:44:59.239 I go to goats. I having a good day. I 1847 01:44:59.359 --> 01:45:02.920 talked to the I talk to birds and stuff that 1848 01:45:03.039 --> 01:45:03.840 come in the yard. 1849 01:45:04.439 --> 01:45:08.479 Yep. My neighborhood as well. There's cows on the back 1850 01:45:08.560 --> 01:45:12.039 side of it, and when you walk around this loop 1851 01:45:12.199 --> 01:45:13.760 you can see them and a lot of times they're 1852 01:45:13.760 --> 01:45:15.920 at the fence and I call them moo moose. I'm 1853 01:45:15.960 --> 01:45:20.520 like kimomo. And then we also get occasional mountain lions. 1854 01:45:20.640 --> 01:45:25.399 We get snakes. Unfortunately, yeah, those don't. 1855 01:45:25.960 --> 01:45:27.279 That doesn't bring me joy. 1856 01:45:27.479 --> 01:45:29.720 No, that does not bring me joy either. But we 1857 01:45:29.840 --> 01:45:32.159 get bald eagles occasionally. We get a lot of the 1858 01:45:32.720 --> 01:45:35.479 a lot of the wildlife, deer, are always in my neighborhood, 1859 01:45:36.239 --> 01:45:38.800 so yeah, it's kind of it's kind of fun. I 1860 01:45:38.920 --> 01:45:42.199 saw a fox once to come through, so but yeah, 1861 01:45:42.239 --> 01:45:44.720 I kind of feel the same way because animals have 1862 01:45:45.760 --> 01:45:51.000 this really great energy and they're super sensitive to frequency, 1863 01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:54.840 and they they know more than we give them credit for, 1864 01:45:55.000 --> 01:45:57.880 I think, and so it's just kind of fun. So 1865 01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.720 I love connecting with animals myself, and I totally talk 1866 01:46:00.800 --> 01:46:01.800 to him like they're people. 1867 01:46:02.439 --> 01:46:06.159 I'm totally like, my goal in life is to have 1868 01:46:06.439 --> 01:46:10.359 a farm, so I can have all the animals that 1869 01:46:10.479 --> 01:46:14.439 I want on my farm and just go outside and 1870 01:46:14.760 --> 01:46:17.079 pet them and cuddle with them and whatever. 1871 01:46:17.439 --> 01:46:18.079 That's my thing. 1872 01:46:18.600 --> 01:46:19.840 I want horses so bad. 1873 01:46:21.800 --> 01:46:24.000 My husband would not like that. He's allergic. 1874 01:46:26.840 --> 01:46:29.239 Yeah, I know a lot of people around here call 1875 01:46:29.319 --> 01:46:32.319 them hay burners, and I think that's disrespectful. It is. 1876 01:46:33.159 --> 01:46:34.840 I don't want to be on them. I want to 1877 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:35.520 be around them. 1878 01:46:36.439 --> 01:46:39.359 So let me ask you this question, since we're talking 1879 01:46:39.479 --> 01:46:43.960 about like being outside and with frequency and stuff like that, 1880 01:46:44.720 --> 01:46:50.359 how do you feel that sunlight factors into the whole 1881 01:46:50.399 --> 01:46:51.239 cortissol thing? 1882 01:46:52.319 --> 01:46:56.880 So sunlight is necessary. That was another thing that I 1883 01:46:57.479 --> 01:47:01.880 that I worked on. Another unpopular thing is I don't 1884 01:47:01.960 --> 01:47:06.239 wear sunscreen unless not even not even that. I don't 1885 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:09.760 ever unless I'm going to be outside for like four 1886 01:47:09.840 --> 01:47:12.720 to eight hours, then I will. But if I'm going 1887 01:47:12.800 --> 01:47:15.600 on a walk and I'm exposed for an hour and 1888 01:47:15.680 --> 01:47:17.680 i get a little sun kissed, I'm not gonna worry 1889 01:47:17.720 --> 01:47:20.640 about it because there's nothing on my skin that's going 1890 01:47:20.720 --> 01:47:24.640 to burn me, which is what sunscreen does. But we're 1891 01:47:24.760 --> 01:47:28.880 blocking the sun. Block for sure blocks the sun and 1892 01:47:29.079 --> 01:47:32.439 it's nutrients from our skin. So we need it for 1893 01:47:32.520 --> 01:47:37.800 a couple of different reasons. Sunlight helps with cholesterol and 1894 01:47:38.239 --> 01:47:40.560 maintain a manageable level, which we need so that our 1895 01:47:40.720 --> 01:47:45.640 arteries stay soft and pliable. And that's created in the liver. 1896 01:47:45.920 --> 01:47:48.199 So when your doctor wants to put you on a statin, 1897 01:47:49.399 --> 01:47:52.399 it's say no, it's fucking up your liver and you're 1898 01:47:52.479 --> 01:47:55.520 not getting especially if it's for cortisol reasons. 1899 01:47:55.600 --> 01:47:56.119 That's dumb. 1900 01:47:56.880 --> 01:47:59.920 Get outside. The sun is one of the natural doc 1901 01:48:00.640 --> 01:48:03.239 There is nutrients. There are nutrients to be gained from 1902 01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:07.119 the sun. You can do sun gazing, which is at 1903 01:48:07.279 --> 01:48:10.039 sunrise or sunset, and I mean like the seconds as 1904 01:48:10.119 --> 01:48:12.760 the sun is setting and the seconds as it's rising, 1905 01:48:12.840 --> 01:48:15.039 where you stare at it without blinking, and you do 1906 01:48:15.239 --> 01:48:18.000 have to be careful so that you don't burn your retinas. 1907 01:48:18.039 --> 01:48:21.680 But that is part of like regulating the circadian rhythms 1908 01:48:21.760 --> 01:48:24.720 of your body. But you do get nutrients in your 1909 01:48:24.800 --> 01:48:29.119 eyeballs when you do that. I'm sorry, it's just a fact, 1910 01:48:29.239 --> 01:48:32.039 Like that's what happens. The sun is is something that 1911 01:48:32.239 --> 01:48:35.920 gives us life, just like photosynthesis to a plant, we 1912 01:48:36.239 --> 01:48:39.239 also go through our own version of photosynthesis when the 1913 01:48:39.279 --> 01:48:43.840 sun is on us. Vitamin D is a hormone. Actually 1914 01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:48.119 it is not a vitamin. It is produced by the 1915 01:48:48.199 --> 01:48:51.920 melatonin system in the pineal gland. Blah blah blah. Well, 1916 01:48:52.920 --> 01:48:57.279 so last year, maybe it's been two years now, I 1917 01:48:57.359 --> 01:48:59.560 stopped wearing the sun block on my walks. I would 1918 01:48:59.560 --> 01:49:02.279 go for like an hour walk every day, and I 1919 01:49:02.560 --> 01:49:05.720 noticed that my skin, which I'm a pasty Irish girl, 1920 01:49:06.279 --> 01:49:10.359 I stopped getting red and I actually started to tan, 1921 01:49:10.840 --> 01:49:13.239 which I've never seen in my entire life, Like how 1922 01:49:13.319 --> 01:49:18.600 does a person white sea through invisible to now carrying 1923 01:49:18.720 --> 01:49:22.439 a tan? I realized it was because anytime I put 1924 01:49:22.560 --> 01:49:26.000 sun block on, it was burning my skin, turning me 1925 01:49:26.119 --> 01:49:29.159 to lobster color. And then that healed, it went straight 1926 01:49:29.239 --> 01:49:32.079 back to white. And now I actually like I can 1927 01:49:32.159 --> 01:49:33.640 take my watch off and I've got. 1928 01:49:33.600 --> 01:49:35.279 A you got a tadline. 1929 01:49:35.680 --> 01:49:39.640 Yeah, that's my natural color right there, not TRANSLUSA anymore. 1930 01:49:40.159 --> 01:49:43.920 Not. But then I went to have my hormones checked 1931 01:49:44.520 --> 01:49:47.279 in just you know, a regular blood draw and I 1932 01:49:47.479 --> 01:49:49.960 actually didn't need to. I was not told to take 1933 01:49:50.079 --> 01:49:53.159 vitamin D. And this was this was in my forties, Like, 1934 01:49:53.319 --> 01:49:57.479 this is not this, this is very recent. So the sun, 1935 01:49:57.880 --> 01:50:00.199 we we need the sun in so many ways. I 1936 01:50:00.279 --> 01:50:03.079 try to get outside every single day for a minimum 1937 01:50:03.159 --> 01:50:08.880 of twenty minutes minimum. And so yeah, you absolutely need it. 1938 01:50:09.000 --> 01:50:12.720 You need the vitamins, the nutrients. I can't say enough 1939 01:50:12.760 --> 01:50:14.880 about it. It's so what's killing you? 1940 01:50:15.439 --> 01:50:19.760 So how do you feel because a lot of this stuff, 1941 01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:26.560 when they talk about cortisol levels, they suggest like adaptagen 1942 01:50:27.439 --> 01:50:33.359 specific herbs or supplementation of some kind that's along those lights. 1943 01:50:33.800 --> 01:50:35.199 How do you feel about that? 1944 01:50:35.439 --> 01:50:39.520 Do you feel like it's necessary or could be beneficial 1945 01:50:40.479 --> 01:50:41.039 to someone? 1946 01:50:41.720 --> 01:50:45.640 No, I think people need to learn to breathe. That's free. 1947 01:50:46.239 --> 01:50:48.239 You don't have to grow it. You don't have to 1948 01:50:48.279 --> 01:50:49.720 wait for it to grow. You don't have to wait 1949 01:50:49.800 --> 01:50:51.279 for it to ship. You don't have to pay for it, 1950 01:50:51.720 --> 01:50:53.880 you don't have to make it into a salvage. 1951 01:50:53.920 --> 01:50:54.800 I'm all about free. 1952 01:50:55.880 --> 01:50:56.159 What's that. 1953 01:50:56.880 --> 01:50:58.000 I'm all about free? 1954 01:50:58.399 --> 01:51:03.760 Yeah, yeah, And I think that breathing is a lost art. 1955 01:51:03.920 --> 01:51:06.520 We don't I mean, I don't even have great posture 1956 01:51:06.560 --> 01:51:08.640 right now. I could sit up straight, but I'm leaning 1957 01:51:08.800 --> 01:51:12.039 on my chair here. But we are not taking full, 1958 01:51:12.479 --> 01:51:16.000 full breaths. Most people are breathing quite shallow, and a 1959 01:51:16.079 --> 01:51:18.239 lot of that has to do with the stress level 1960 01:51:18.319 --> 01:51:21.520 that they're under. And that's probably what you know how 1961 01:51:21.600 --> 01:51:24.000 the or ring really kind of detects that too, is 1962 01:51:24.479 --> 01:51:27.079 whether you're getting all of the oxygen saturation that you 1963 01:51:27.239 --> 01:51:31.039 need in the breath that you're taking. So practicing breath work, 1964 01:51:31.399 --> 01:51:33.800 which that sounds if you think about it, that's dumb 1965 01:51:34.039 --> 01:51:36.039 for people in the modern world to have to go 1966 01:51:36.119 --> 01:51:38.680 to a breath class when we were born to fucking breathe. 1967 01:51:39.119 --> 01:51:43.279 So I feel like we need to go back to like. 1968 01:51:43.479 --> 01:51:44.439 Our baby state. 1969 01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:49.479 Babies knew what to do. Babies did it. But yeah, 1970 01:51:49.680 --> 01:51:52.520 like we need to take deep breaths, pause for five 1971 01:51:52.600 --> 01:51:56.479 minutes just to deep breathe. You could do fire breathing. 1972 01:51:56.520 --> 01:51:59.520 You could learn the different types of breathing that there is, 1973 01:51:59.680 --> 01:52:02.640 because it all does something completely different. I did a 1974 01:52:02.720 --> 01:52:07.720 program one time on my oh brain tap, and it 1975 01:52:08.840 --> 01:52:11.119 put me into fight or flight. But that was on purpose, 1976 01:52:11.199 --> 01:52:13.079 I guess, and I didn't know this when I first 1977 01:52:13.119 --> 01:52:16.359 started the program, and it was my first experience with 1978 01:52:16.479 --> 01:52:20.439 fire breathing, which is like almost panting, but for long 1979 01:52:20.520 --> 01:52:24.439 periods of time to wear your body. It's they're trying 1980 01:52:24.560 --> 01:52:27.920 to trigger your fighter flight on purpose. I'm serious. I 1981 01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:31.000 was freaking out. I started panicking and there were a 1982 01:52:31.079 --> 01:52:33.439 couple times I would take a deep breath to regulate 1983 01:52:33.560 --> 01:52:35.239 myself because I was freaking out. 1984 01:52:35.279 --> 01:52:35.439 Man. 1985 01:52:36.079 --> 01:52:40.039 And so finally, like I just kept getting through it, 1986 01:52:40.119 --> 01:52:41.960 getting through it, because I'm like, God, this is only 1987 01:52:42.000 --> 01:52:44.119 a twenty minute program. Surely I'm not going to die. 1988 01:52:44.800 --> 01:52:47.760 But by the end of the program, they ended up 1989 01:52:47.880 --> 01:52:54.039 walking you through this shadow self exercise thing and it 1990 01:52:54.239 --> 01:52:57.880 was so beautiful. But like, I wouldn't have gotten there 1991 01:52:58.039 --> 01:53:00.279 had I not done the fire breathing to prepare me, 1992 01:53:00.399 --> 01:53:03.119 to get me ready to enter into that level of 1993 01:53:03.199 --> 01:53:06.720 brain wave state that I could manage that and go 1994 01:53:06.960 --> 01:53:10.119 back to the previous shadow you know. Blah blah blah, 1995 01:53:11.119 --> 01:53:14.800 but so breathwork I think is highly underrated. We need 1996 01:53:14.880 --> 01:53:16.640 to breathe, breathe. 1997 01:53:17.399 --> 01:53:26.760 So breathing reducing stress, trying to regulate your sleep and 1998 01:53:26.920 --> 01:53:32.600 wake cycle, because you you literally cannot sleep until noon 1999 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:35.560 and then get up and then go back to bed 2000 01:53:35.960 --> 01:53:39.319 and do that on a regular basis to have a 2001 01:53:39.399 --> 01:53:40.640 good circadian rhythm. 2002 01:53:41.239 --> 01:53:49.960 Right, eating for fuel and not for piggy anything else. 2003 01:53:51.159 --> 01:53:56.880 Get something that fasting really does reduce cortisol. It really does. So, 2004 01:53:57.279 --> 01:54:01.479 I mean, I know people are at that, but I 2005 01:54:02.079 --> 01:54:04.079 that's one of the things I deployed and it worked 2006 01:54:04.600 --> 01:54:07.119 for me. So intermittent fasting can do that for you. 2007 01:54:07.119 --> 01:54:09.880 You just have to be smart about it and make 2008 01:54:09.920 --> 01:54:12.199 sure that you know you don't take it too extreme. 2009 01:54:12.479 --> 01:54:14.159 If you're the type of person that has to weigh 2010 01:54:14.199 --> 01:54:17.319 yourself every day and you get obsessive about number, don't 2011 01:54:17.439 --> 01:54:20.079 maybe don't intermittent fast because it'll never be enough for you. 2012 01:54:20.239 --> 01:54:24.399 You have to get this right first, right, And just 2013 01:54:24.600 --> 01:54:31.000 because you're not seeing a drastic change in your numbers 2014 01:54:31.079 --> 01:54:33.680 on the scale every day does not mean that it's 2015 01:54:33.760 --> 01:54:38.640 not working, especially if you are doing some kind of 2016 01:54:38.720 --> 01:54:42.279 physical activity. It doesn't have to be or not running 2017 01:54:42.319 --> 01:54:45.760 a marathon or whatever. But if you're doing you know, 2018 01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:50.880 the light workout and you know, alternating days and then whatever, 2019 01:54:51.399 --> 01:54:56.159 you're gaining muscle mass. So you're obviously not going to 2020 01:54:56.239 --> 01:55:00.560 be dropping like insane amounts of weight while you're gaining 2021 01:55:00.840 --> 01:55:05.199 muscle because your body's doing that so that you're getting healthier. 2022 01:55:05.600 --> 01:55:07.439 And it's not abou breaking the numbers. 2023 01:55:07.960 --> 01:55:10.399 It's not about the number on the scale, your measurements. 2024 01:55:11.039 --> 01:55:14.319 Your measurements could get smaller and you haven't dropped a 2025 01:55:14.399 --> 01:55:18.119 pound for that exact reason. There's a really cool meme 2026 01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:21.119 that shows like six or seven different women lined up 2027 01:55:21.159 --> 01:55:23.600 that are all different heights and different body shapes that 2028 01:55:23.640 --> 01:55:26.680 are all one hundred and fifty pounds. So your one 2029 01:55:26.760 --> 01:55:30.000 hundred and fifty might be you know, big for you 2030 01:55:30.239 --> 01:55:33.159 because of your height, but my one hundred and fifty 2031 01:55:33.319 --> 01:55:36.000 might be a little bit different looking, and I mean 2032 01:55:36.159 --> 01:55:39.760 visually because I'm taller and we all hold it differently. 2033 01:55:39.920 --> 01:55:45.000 So really, weight is arbitrary in terms of the number. However, 2034 01:55:45.239 --> 01:55:47.840 I will say that I think our society has gone 2035 01:55:48.159 --> 01:55:53.520 way too far in this whole normalization of like the 2036 01:55:53.600 --> 01:55:55.560 fat shaming thing or whatever you want to call it, 2037 01:55:55.720 --> 01:55:59.039 Like saying that big is beautiful. I'm not saying y'all 2038 01:55:59.039 --> 01:56:02.840 aren't beautiful. I'm saying that we need to stop making that, 2039 01:56:03.119 --> 01:56:06.520 like stop worshiping that that is unhealthy. It's an unhealthy state. 2040 01:56:07.119 --> 01:56:10.079 Like I know that BMI and all of that kind 2041 01:56:10.079 --> 01:56:11.600 of stuff can also be a little. 2042 01:56:11.359 --> 01:56:12.439 Bit not garbage. 2043 01:56:12.600 --> 01:56:17.079 Yeah. So, but the thing is is, like you you 2044 01:56:17.199 --> 01:56:19.159 should be able to bend over and tie your shoe 2045 01:56:19.199 --> 01:56:21.680 without having to hold your breath, or you should be 2046 01:56:21.760 --> 01:56:24.319 able to bend over entire shoe and reach it, do 2047 01:56:24.399 --> 01:56:26.560 you know what I mean? Like that was my sister 2048 01:56:26.720 --> 01:56:29.560 said when she even just lost this first little bit 2049 01:56:29.600 --> 01:56:32.560 of weight. She's like, I could see my feet, Shannon, 2050 01:56:32.680 --> 01:56:36.000 and I just ab outride she could see her feet. 2051 01:56:36.079 --> 01:56:38.479 I didn't realize that that was her view, that all 2052 01:56:38.600 --> 01:56:41.039 she saw was her stomach and stuff that I was 2053 01:56:41.119 --> 01:56:44.199 taking for granted. Every day she could bend over entire 2054 01:56:44.319 --> 01:56:48.039 shoe and it didn't cause her like pain or you know, 2055 01:56:48.239 --> 01:56:50.079 like to be out of breath by doing it. And 2056 01:56:50.239 --> 01:56:53.119 I'm like, oh my gosh, like these are what we 2057 01:56:53.239 --> 01:56:55.560 call the non scale victories. And I was I'm just 2058 01:56:55.680 --> 01:56:58.479 I've been so proud of her. But it's the perspective 2059 01:56:58.560 --> 01:57:00.399 that we don't see. But you know, it's like, what 2060 01:57:00.520 --> 01:57:02.920 are you getting healthy for? You have to want it, 2061 01:57:03.079 --> 01:57:05.119 and you have to you have to want it to 2062 01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:07.079 sustain it. But you have to go through all of 2063 01:57:07.199 --> 01:57:10.640 the skeletons in the closet up here, because they're gonna 2064 01:57:10.640 --> 01:57:12.239 come out and it's going to make you want to 2065 01:57:12.279 --> 01:57:16.039 eat more. And large amounts of weight is not healthy. 2066 01:57:16.520 --> 01:57:18.960 I don't know, I'm saying that people aren't beautiful, but 2067 01:57:19.119 --> 01:57:19.880 it's not healthy. 2068 01:57:20.520 --> 01:57:20.880 It's not. 2069 01:57:21.239 --> 01:57:27.199 And you know, it depends on what your what your 2070 01:57:27.279 --> 01:57:33.039 personal reason is for diet, exercise, blah blah blah, Like 2071 01:57:33.319 --> 01:57:37.279 we started our you know, exercise program at the gym 2072 01:57:37.399 --> 01:57:37.760 or whatever. 2073 01:57:37.920 --> 01:57:39.960 But my goal is not to be a. 2074 01:57:40.039 --> 01:57:44.800 Fitness model, right, That's not me, uh, not into that 2075 01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:47.680 kind of stuff. I don't want to look like I 2076 01:57:47.800 --> 01:57:48.760 have doot muscles. 2077 01:57:48.960 --> 01:57:49.760 That's not for me. 2078 01:57:50.520 --> 01:57:50.640 Right. 2079 01:57:51.359 --> 01:58:02.680 My thing is to get especially with my antiquated bodily age, right. 2080 01:58:04.720 --> 01:58:10.680 My thing is to be able to improve my balance, okay, right, 2081 01:58:11.279 --> 01:58:14.920 And so muscle tone and balance is what I care about, 2082 01:58:15.159 --> 01:58:19.479 and so those are the things and that doing things 2083 01:58:19.600 --> 01:58:22.520 like that is going to make me happy instead of 2084 01:58:22.640 --> 01:58:28.560 making a super unrealistic goal where I'm like, Okay, I'm 2085 01:58:28.640 --> 01:58:31.439 gonna like fill out and now I'm gonna have these 2086 01:58:31.520 --> 01:58:35.880 big bulging muscles and whatever, because I know that's not 2087 01:58:36.039 --> 01:58:39.079 what I want. So you have to really stop and 2088 01:58:39.239 --> 01:58:42.479 think about is you want to feel better, but you 2089 01:58:42.560 --> 01:58:43.560 want to feel better. 2090 01:58:43.560 --> 01:58:44.560 In what aspect? 2091 01:58:45.119 --> 01:58:48.239 And for me that's it because being that I am older, 2092 01:58:48.920 --> 01:58:50.399 balance is super important. 2093 01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:52.520 Oh absolutely, yeah. 2094 01:58:52.399 --> 01:58:58.039 You know, or having the the muscle endurance to be 2095 01:58:58.119 --> 01:59:02.960 able to like move ourselves to college soon. Yeah you 2096 01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:08.520 know what I mean, without like dying of panting or yeah, whatever. 2097 01:59:08.920 --> 01:59:10.600 So that's the thing. It's not about. 2098 01:59:11.159 --> 01:59:16.239 It's not about anything other than just protecting those things. 2099 01:59:16.399 --> 01:59:20.239 For me, I think often this might be a bit extreme, 2100 01:59:20.760 --> 01:59:22.720 but it's kind of sometimes how I think my daughter 2101 01:59:22.840 --> 01:59:27.319 calls it existentialist. But you know, if the shit does 2102 01:59:27.439 --> 01:59:29.920 hit the fan, because we're looking at some shit in 2103 01:59:30.000 --> 01:59:32.079 the country right now, right like everybody's kind of on 2104 01:59:32.239 --> 01:59:36.119 edge about it, I honestly don't really care. To a point, however, 2105 01:59:36.640 --> 01:59:40.359 the reality might end up that we are off the 2106 01:59:40.399 --> 01:59:42.439 grid and we have to live off the land or 2107 01:59:42.560 --> 01:59:44.319 you know, I'm gonna go there. Right Let's say you 2108 01:59:44.479 --> 01:59:47.079 end up in that place where okay, now it's survival 2109 01:59:47.119 --> 01:59:49.079 of the fittest. You got to live off the land 2110 01:59:49.159 --> 01:59:51.199 and protect what you have because people will come and 2111 01:59:51.279 --> 01:59:53.000 take it from you. I don't know if you saw 2112 01:59:53.119 --> 01:59:56.279 the movie and now I'm going to forget what it's called, 2113 01:59:56.359 --> 01:59:59.399 but it's basically about that where there's a big like 2114 01:59:59.520 --> 02:00:02.479 the made a nuke on the shores of California. It's 2115 02:00:02.479 --> 02:00:05.520 a newer movie that just came out, And so they 2116 02:00:05.760 --> 02:00:09.039 end up going to Colorado to this compound and they're 2117 02:00:09.079 --> 02:00:12.359 having to defend all that they have and they've kind 2118 02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:15.840 of hunkered down with some Marines who are securing the border. 2119 02:00:15.960 --> 02:00:20.079 Blah blah blah. Well, anyway, if that, if that is 2120 02:00:20.199 --> 02:00:23.840 the future, I want to be healthy enough. I don't 2121 02:00:23.840 --> 02:00:26.359 give a shit what I look like, but I want 2122 02:00:26.399 --> 02:00:29.079 to be healthy enough to be able to like work 2123 02:00:29.159 --> 02:00:32.640 the land if I need to. If you're so overweight 2124 02:00:32.760 --> 02:00:35.439 that you can't even like, you know, rake a garden 2125 02:00:35.720 --> 02:00:37.800 or you know, like bend over to pick up the 2126 02:00:37.840 --> 02:00:38.640 chicken at I was. 2127 02:00:38.640 --> 02:00:41.800 Going to say, walk five steps without getting winded. 2128 02:00:41.800 --> 02:00:44.880 Yeah, then that's a problem. So for me, it's kind 2129 02:00:44.920 --> 02:00:47.920 of like I want to be prepared and I want 2130 02:00:47.960 --> 02:00:50.359 to be fit enough that you know, walking up a 2131 02:00:50.439 --> 02:00:52.199 set of stairs isn't going to kill me, because I 2132 02:00:52.279 --> 02:00:55.960 might have to be hiking or trying to survive or 2133 02:00:56.359 --> 02:00:58.079 climbing a tree. I don't even know how I would 2134 02:00:58.119 --> 02:00:59.840 climb a tree, first of all, like this would be 2135 02:00:59.880 --> 02:01:03.720 a really funny story if they actually did, right. But 2136 02:01:04.279 --> 02:01:08.039 you know, I have the gumption in the will. But yeah, 2137 02:01:08.079 --> 02:01:11.000 I suppose I should probably take some survival classes, but like, 2138 02:01:11.399 --> 02:01:13.079 I want to be able to do it and not 2139 02:01:13.279 --> 02:01:15.760 have an issue bending over or picking up what if 2140 02:01:15.760 --> 02:01:18.239 you have to carry water? You know, I think about 2141 02:01:18.319 --> 02:01:20.600 some of the other cultures and third world countries where 2142 02:01:20.600 --> 02:01:22.960 they have to literally carry their water and a jar 2143 02:01:23.079 --> 02:01:26.359 on their head, and I'm like, yeah, I mean, think 2144 02:01:26.399 --> 02:01:30.000 about how pampered we are, and so I guess ultimately 2145 02:01:30.199 --> 02:01:32.520 that's what my goal is I want. And then I 2146 02:01:32.680 --> 02:01:35.039 also think about my one hundred and twenty year old self, 2147 02:01:35.159 --> 02:01:38.039 because that's going to be when I die. I think 2148 02:01:38.119 --> 02:01:40.279 about her, and I'm like, well, I got to do 2149 02:01:40.399 --> 02:01:43.119 this now for her, you know, so that I can 2150 02:01:43.199 --> 02:01:45.279 make it there, first of all, but also so that 2151 02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:48.479 by the time I get there, it's not the dementia 2152 02:01:48.560 --> 02:01:51.239 and the Alzheimer's and that kind of stuff that's taking over. 2153 02:01:51.359 --> 02:01:54.279 But that it's like because that's when I have decided 2154 02:01:54.319 --> 02:01:57.560 to die, you know, and not for any other reason, 2155 02:01:57.640 --> 02:01:59.479 like think about your future self. 2156 02:02:00.159 --> 02:02:02.960 Right, And to your point, you know, like we were 2157 02:02:03.000 --> 02:02:06.479 talking about like eating and cholesterol and things like that, 2158 02:02:07.520 --> 02:02:12.399 and cholesterol is really really necessary for brain function because 2159 02:02:12.439 --> 02:02:18.399 it's a neuroprotectant. So with all of this, you know, 2160 02:02:18.600 --> 02:02:21.239 everybody's going to be on a statin and all of 2161 02:02:21.359 --> 02:02:24.920 that stuff. It's just lowering that which is also increasing 2162 02:02:25.039 --> 02:02:29.000 your cortisol, which also affects your brain. So where do 2163 02:02:29.079 --> 02:02:34.840 you think all this massive uptick in Alzheimer's and dementia 2164 02:02:35.159 --> 02:02:39.920 and all of those things come from. It's because we're 2165 02:02:40.039 --> 02:02:44.239 not living according to the way God created us. We're 2166 02:02:44.359 --> 02:02:50.479 living according to what the medical industrial complex says is 2167 02:02:50.560 --> 02:02:56.399 good for us, which if if you're smart about things, 2168 02:02:56.520 --> 02:02:58.960 you know that they don't tell you anything that's true. 2169 02:03:00.279 --> 02:03:03.960 Yeah, exactly, we're not living according to the natural laws 2170 02:03:04.039 --> 02:03:07.279 that were set in place for this earth. We're living 2171 02:03:07.359 --> 02:03:09.760 in a modern society and with that comes a lot 2172 02:03:09.800 --> 02:03:12.600 of heavy metals and a lot of things that you know, 2173 02:03:12.680 --> 02:03:16.199 our soil is not even rich anymore, it's useless and 2174 02:03:16.319 --> 02:03:19.279 so the food that is growing and said soil has 2175 02:03:19.359 --> 02:03:22.159 to be genetically modified because regular stuff can't even grow 2176 02:03:22.199 --> 02:03:25.800 in it. And right, we're really doing ourselves a disservice. 2177 02:03:26.039 --> 02:03:28.720 And I know some people have secured you know, organic 2178 02:03:28.800 --> 02:03:32.319 seeds or whatever, and that's great, and I love that 2179 02:03:32.479 --> 02:03:34.640 I have like one of those hydroponic sort of things 2180 02:03:34.640 --> 02:03:38.079 that you can do inside the house. And you know, 2181 02:03:38.319 --> 02:03:41.640 it's we're definitely not living according to the way that 2182 02:03:41.720 --> 02:03:44.520 God set it up, and we're not living off the 2183 02:03:44.640 --> 02:03:47.560 land anymore. And we're not even living in trade with 2184 02:03:47.680 --> 02:03:51.680 one another, you know. I think back to where people 2185 02:03:51.840 --> 02:03:55.479 probably traded like I'll go shoot this deer if you 2186 02:03:55.720 --> 02:03:59.079 will cure the meat for me, you know, or neighbors 2187 02:03:59.159 --> 02:04:01.840 helping neighbors, and that kind of a thing. We rely 2188 02:04:02.039 --> 02:04:05.119 on having to buy our food prepackaged or like adding 2189 02:04:05.319 --> 02:04:06.000 hot water. 2190 02:04:05.960 --> 02:04:10.479 To like, you know, because because we're lazy, right, And 2191 02:04:10.720 --> 02:04:16.279 so we again want that instant gratification thing because it 2192 02:04:16.439 --> 02:04:19.279 makes us feel good not to have to spend any 2193 02:04:19.359 --> 02:04:23.880 time doing something that for me, like being able to 2194 02:04:24.319 --> 02:04:28.520 create that stuff on my own, yes, is what makes 2195 02:04:28.600 --> 02:04:33.239 me happy. And so like spending that extra time to 2196 02:04:33.359 --> 02:04:37.880 make food, you know, with love and whatever is so 2197 02:04:38.079 --> 02:04:41.000 much better and so much more rewarding to me than 2198 02:04:41.199 --> 02:04:44.159 going to through a drive through. 2199 02:04:44.359 --> 02:04:47.640 I don't do that, yep, And people are figuring it out. 2200 02:04:47.680 --> 02:04:50.079 I think a lot of things are. People are trying 2201 02:04:50.079 --> 02:04:52.479 to get back to that. But but then you know, 2202 02:04:52.600 --> 02:04:54.600 you still have the people that are knee jerking and 2203 02:04:54.680 --> 02:04:57.479 trying to get medications to fix them instantly rather than 2204 02:04:58.680 --> 02:05:02.279 eat a diet that is worthy of you, and I 2205 02:05:02.439 --> 02:05:06.640 mean it worthy of you, and you will completely change. 2206 02:05:06.720 --> 02:05:08.960 Your whole body will heal itself when it gets what 2207 02:05:09.079 --> 02:05:11.800 it needs. So I mean, if you have to be 2208 02:05:12.079 --> 02:05:15.720 people don't want to be uncomfortable. That's just what it 2209 02:05:15.760 --> 02:05:17.960 comes down to. But nothing changes in a comfort zone. 2210 02:05:18.479 --> 02:05:22.359 And so I like, I actually crave the discomfort sometimes 2211 02:05:22.439 --> 02:05:24.840 because I know being on the other side of it 2212 02:05:25.000 --> 02:05:27.680 is when the victory takes place and you feel amazing. 2213 02:05:27.760 --> 02:05:31.560 At that point, you've learned another lesson. So going through 2214 02:05:31.600 --> 02:05:35.039 the hard shit sucks during that time, but once you're 2215 02:05:35.039 --> 02:05:37.039 out on the other side of it, it's like, Okay, 2216 02:05:37.439 --> 02:05:39.199 I'm ready for the next one now. And yeah, some 2217 02:05:39.359 --> 02:05:40.960 days you need a couple of days to process that. 2218 02:05:42.359 --> 02:05:45.279 I'm like, give me, just not bring something right now, 2219 02:05:45.399 --> 02:05:46.359 that would be excellent. 2220 02:05:46.720 --> 02:05:48.319 Just give me two days and then let's go. 2221 02:05:50.520 --> 02:05:53.680 But you know, like we talked about like dieting and 2222 02:05:53.840 --> 02:05:58.800 stuff and trying to control you know, cortisol levels through 2223 02:05:59.520 --> 02:06:03.359 the way we eat and stuff. But I would say also, 2224 02:06:04.319 --> 02:06:07.920 like as far as easing into things, right, if you 2225 02:06:08.159 --> 02:06:14.680 are somebody that has never exercised or has an exercise 2226 02:06:14.840 --> 02:06:20.199 for a really long time, ease into stuff. It's okay 2227 02:06:20.439 --> 02:06:24.439 to go slow. If you're lifting weights, you don't have 2228 02:06:24.640 --> 02:06:27.800 to go into the gym and automatically think one hundred 2229 02:06:27.800 --> 02:06:32.000 and seventy pounds because everybody else is doing it. Start slow, 2230 02:06:32.439 --> 02:06:37.760 baby steps at a time. If you are really large 2231 02:06:38.159 --> 02:06:42.359 and you have joint issues and stuff like that, do 2232 02:06:42.880 --> 02:06:47.239 chair yoga to start, do you know, get one of 2233 02:06:47.319 --> 02:06:52.119 the stretching bands and do exercises in your chair until 2234 02:06:52.199 --> 02:06:56.399 you build up that ability in that stamina to take 2235 02:06:56.439 --> 02:06:57.199 it a step further. 2236 02:06:58.760 --> 02:07:02.079 And I have learned too that the older that I get, 2237 02:07:02.199 --> 02:07:04.119 not that age is the reason, but the older that 2238 02:07:04.199 --> 02:07:08.399 I get, the flexibility thing becomes more important too, Like 2239 02:07:08.720 --> 02:07:11.319 my workouts will kill me if I don't warm up 2240 02:07:11.399 --> 02:07:15.359 and stretch and even stretching afterwards to get kind of 2241 02:07:15.560 --> 02:07:17.880 roll out the blactic acid and stuff like that just 2242 02:07:17.960 --> 02:07:22.399 directly after the workout, and then I hurt for days afterwards, 2243 02:07:22.439 --> 02:07:23.920 and then you don't want to work out on top 2244 02:07:23.960 --> 02:07:27.039 of that hurt, you know, So knowing how to like 2245 02:07:27.520 --> 02:07:30.880 get if your body stays mobile and flexible, then your 2246 02:07:30.920 --> 02:07:32.159 workouts shouldn't be a problem. 2247 02:07:33.560 --> 02:07:36.840 Yeah, And that's that's where I'm at, and I'm happy 2248 02:07:36.960 --> 02:07:39.920 that I'm at that place. I don't need to go in, 2249 02:07:40.840 --> 02:07:45.119 you know, and and bench press a large amount or 2250 02:07:45.199 --> 02:07:47.520 anything like that, because, like I said, my goal is 2251 02:07:47.640 --> 02:07:52.800 not to body build. My my goal is to strengthen. So, 2252 02:07:53.439 --> 02:07:58.880 you know, so mess Shannon, thank you so much for 2253 02:07:59.119 --> 02:08:03.319 joining me. I know, it's fabulous.
