00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:06.519
<v Speaker 2>Good afternoon everyone, Jennevieve Wisdom, host of Walk with Wisdom Podcasts,

13
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 2>a lifestyle show on youthful aging. What is youthful aging?

14
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:17.239
<v Speaker 2>You say, it is looking good and feeling amazing as

15
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.439
<v Speaker 2>we age. Now, everyone, this is a new show, and

16
00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:24.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm so grateful to those of you who have come

17
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 2>back week after week. How many weeks it's our third

18
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 2>week already. Can you imagine Yay Clapp in the chat.

19
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Those of you have been here for three weeks and

20
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 2>we are going to have an exciting, exciting show today.

21
00:01:41.519 --> 00:01:44.000
<v Speaker 2>I have a guest today with us, but before I

22
00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:48.719
<v Speaker 2>introduce him in depthly, his name is Bruce Pollock. I

23
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>am going to set up what the show is about today.

24
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.359
<v Speaker 2>So last week we talked about a few things. The

25
00:01:57.439 --> 00:02:04.159
<v Speaker 2>podcast is primarily for groups forty and over. However, younger

26
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.920
<v Speaker 2>people find a lot of the information that we talk

27
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:10.800
<v Speaker 2>about very useful because it's the stage before you get

28
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:12.919
<v Speaker 2>to the stage, you know what I mean. So a

29
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.599
<v Speaker 2>lot of the things that Bruce and I will be

30
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 2>talking about today will be invaluable to you. Couple of reminders,

31
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 2>remember to share the link. You can send it out

36
00:02:36.080 --> 00:02:38.840
<v Speaker 2>because in the comments I get ideas, and so will

37
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:42.719
<v Speaker 2>Bruce today. As to what we can talk about further, now,

38
00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 2>without further ado, let me talk about what we're talking

39
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 2>about today. The show is called Menopause. Menopause, and I

40
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 2>am going to read Remember I mentioned to you that

41
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.039
<v Speaker 2>if you're looking for a perfect podcast, you have come

42
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.439
<v Speaker 2>to the well, this is a podcast on life. I

43
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>still try to find the perfect life. You know, we

44
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:12.319
<v Speaker 2>just have to live it. So I make notes and

45
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:14.719
<v Speaker 2>sometimes I will look down, but that way keeps me

46
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:18.000
<v Speaker 2>on track for you and especially Bruce. So first things first,

47
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I'll do Bruce. I'll do the intro to the show,

48
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 2>then Bruce's formal introduction. So today, menopause, menopause. If you've

49
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.080
<v Speaker 2>been searching for real talks and real solutions around hormonal

50
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 2>disruption in middle age, you're in the right place today

51
00:03:36.520 --> 00:03:39.759
<v Speaker 2>because we're taking a different approach when we talk about

52
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>menopause and menopause. Remember, we never leave the men out.

53
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Most of us jump straight too. Hot flashes, brain fog, anxiety,

54
00:03:50.680 --> 00:03:57.159
<v Speaker 2>poor sleep, stubborn weight gain, and mood swings sound familiar. However,

55
00:03:58.520 --> 00:04:02.319
<v Speaker 2>what if I told you the real starting point for

56
00:04:02.479 --> 00:04:09.960
<v Speaker 2>hormones and hormonal disruption is the gut. Yes, the gut,

57
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:15.479
<v Speaker 2>gut health. What does it have to do with menopause?

58
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 2>You're probably asking get ready for mind blowing connection. You

59
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.079
<v Speaker 2>may not have considered. Your gut is your foundation and

60
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>it's foundational to your body. And you know from the

61
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>last shows that I like foundations because we stack, we

62
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:37.360
<v Speaker 2>stacker health right, and so foundationally the gut is the

63
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:41.680
<v Speaker 2>root of everything, an analogy we wash the car before

64
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:45.079
<v Speaker 2>we polish it. I have a lot of mentors who

65
00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>have all these little tidbits that will help us remember things,

66
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and so that means we need to start up the

67
00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 2>root of hormonal disruption, which is the gut. And unhealthy

68
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.800
<v Speaker 2>gut doesn't just lead to digestive issues. It fuels high

69
00:04:58.800 --> 00:05:04.319
<v Speaker 2>cortisol or LI detalks brain inflammation, nutrient efficiencies, making your

70
00:05:04.319 --> 00:05:09.399
<v Speaker 2>body symptoms worse. If your gut isn't working, you're definitely

71
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:12.279
<v Speaker 2>going to experience some of those symptoms we talk about.

72
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:18.079
<v Speaker 2>They're also hormonal players in gut health or gut disruption.

73
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:24.000
<v Speaker 2>I will let Bruce talk about those. So let's dive in.

74
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.439
<v Speaker 2>If you're tired of feeling sluggish, overwhelmed, and out of balance,

75
00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.279
<v Speaker 2>this episode is your first step in reclaiming your vitality.

76
00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:38.279
<v Speaker 2>Get ready for breakthrough insight expert, additional wisdom from Bruce,

77
00:05:38.759 --> 00:05:42.279
<v Speaker 2>and practical steps that will have you saying why didn't

78
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 2>I know this before? So without further ado, I will

79
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:53.360
<v Speaker 2>introduce formally or guest today, mister Bruce Pollock, Hi Ruth,

80
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:57.839
<v Speaker 2>thank you so much for joining us. So I am

81
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.120
<v Speaker 2>going to let those who have never met you out

82
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>there hear what not just myself, but many that I

83
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 2>know think of you. So again, I made a quick

84
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 2>note on Bruce and his background. He just wanted it

85
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:14.560
<v Speaker 2>to be quick. So I think Bruce is a health

86
00:06:14.759 --> 00:06:20.120
<v Speaker 2>translator extraordinaire on this episode of Walk with Wisdom. Bruce

87
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:26.160
<v Speaker 2>a seasoned homeopath, a businessman, a natural health expert with

88
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:29.680
<v Speaker 2>decades of experience in the wellness space. Bruce has a

89
00:06:29.720 --> 00:06:33.879
<v Speaker 2>gift for taking the complicated and making it simple, breaking

90
00:06:33.920 --> 00:06:38.600
<v Speaker 2>down the science of health into easy, actionable steps. He's

91
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 2>passionate and I know this firsthand. Verse He's passionate about

92
00:06:43.120 --> 00:06:47.439
<v Speaker 2>helping people take control of their well being. His insights,

93
00:06:47.639 --> 00:06:51.360
<v Speaker 2>his additional wisdom added to mine, and practical tips for

94
00:06:51.439 --> 00:06:55.319
<v Speaker 2>living gives a most health a more healthy and balanced life.

95
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>Get ready for a conversation that will inspire, educate, and

96
00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:02.279
<v Speaker 2>empower you, and closer to the end of the show,

97
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 2>I'll have Bruce's contact because the whole idea of being

98
00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.959
<v Speaker 2>on this show is to be able to be able

99
00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:11.360
<v Speaker 2>to talk to the guests, my valued guests. Afterwards, Thank

100
00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.399
<v Speaker 2>you Bruce for being here. How are you feeling today?

101
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 3>Doing good? Gennevieve, thanks for having me. I'm excited about

102
00:07:17.279 --> 00:07:17.600
<v Speaker 3>the show.

103
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely, And Bruce, as I mentioned, this show is

104
00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>a show about life. It's I call it youthful aging,

105
00:07:27.639 --> 00:07:30.920
<v Speaker 2>which in the world of anti aging, we all age,

106
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:33.680
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't you say, Bruce from We're Born.

107
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:33.920
<v Speaker 3>We all do?

108
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, absolutely, So I didn't want to go with an

109
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 2>anti aging platform. It's youthful aging. And you, Bruce, are

110
00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:50.360
<v Speaker 2>so pivotal, You're foundational as our guest here or inaugural guest,

111
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 2>and so let's have a conversation. I made some questions

112
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:58.680
<v Speaker 2>to ask you. I mentioned to Bruce everyone that show

113
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:02.959
<v Speaker 2>is going to be about men posmoopause, and again, Bruce

114
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:06.319
<v Speaker 2>does those things that are just so foundational. I go

115
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:11.399
<v Speaker 2>to him often with many questions, and so talking about

116
00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:16.680
<v Speaker 2>menopause and menopause. Yes, however, the gut is foundational, which

117
00:08:16.680 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>is what Bruce reminded me. So, Bruce, why is the

118
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:25.319
<v Speaker 2>gut foundational as we age, especially in the context of

119
00:08:25.480 --> 00:08:26.639
<v Speaker 2>menopause and menopause.

120
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:31.040
<v Speaker 3>Wow, that's such a big question, you know, the gout

121
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.039
<v Speaker 3>course is digestion. We absorb our nutrients through digestion and

122
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 3>eliminates the toxins. That's that's the beginning. But eighty percent

123
00:08:39.240 --> 00:08:42.120
<v Speaker 3>of our immune system comes from a healthy gut. The

124
00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:47.320
<v Speaker 3>healthy gout also creates the neurotransmitters glutamate, GABBA, serotonin, dopamine,

125
00:08:47.639 --> 00:08:52.200
<v Speaker 3>which are all mood transmitters. So to have a good

126
00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.320
<v Speaker 3>mood and be healthy, you need a healthy gut.

127
00:08:56.679 --> 00:09:02.639
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, excellent. Now, the newer transmitters will talk about because

128
00:09:03.159 --> 00:09:06.759
<v Speaker 2>in the context later on where we'll go deeper about

129
00:09:06.840 --> 00:09:11.759
<v Speaker 2>hormones or mood is off and off. But if we

130
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.679
<v Speaker 2>think about automatically getting something to deal with the mood

131
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.919
<v Speaker 2>and not taking care of the gut, it's not really

132
00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:19.519
<v Speaker 2>gonna help, is that what I heard?

133
00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:24.080
<v Speaker 3>So what you heard? Interesting fact Actually why we're talking

134
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:27.159
<v Speaker 3>about this is people with IBS are twice more likely

135
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:30.159
<v Speaker 3>to have anxiety and depression than people without and it's

136
00:09:30.200 --> 00:09:32.720
<v Speaker 3>just because of that healthy gut isn't there with them.

137
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:36.320
<v Speaker 3>So it's a really in your face fact that we

138
00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.200
<v Speaker 3>need a healthy gut to have a healthy mind.

139
00:09:39.639 --> 00:09:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's amazing, And I've heard this about the gut.

140
00:09:45.799 --> 00:09:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure you all have Please comment on that. I

141
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.600
<v Speaker 2>see some of the comments coming in and that's great.

142
00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:58.279
<v Speaker 2>Please keep them coming. What is it, Bruce? What are

143
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>the main factors that cont tribute to one onhealthy gut?

144
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Is that the way I should ask the question at all?

145
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:06.000
<v Speaker 2>The healthy gut? Or do we want to talk about

146
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.480
<v Speaker 2>it in the context of what contributes to a healthy gut?

147
00:10:10.039 --> 00:10:10.679
<v Speaker 2>You let me know?

148
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 3>I think first, yeah, first we should talk about what

149
00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:15.759
<v Speaker 3>a healthy gut is. So most of us heard that.

150
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Most of us have heard the term microbiome. But we're

151
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:23.080
<v Speaker 3>actually talking about is microorganisms living in our gut system.

152
00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:25.799
<v Speaker 3>And there's trillions and trillions of them. Some people say

153
00:10:25.840 --> 00:10:30.360
<v Speaker 3>there's up to six pounds worth of these micro in

154
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:33.799
<v Speaker 3>our gut. Sorry about that, tripping over my tongue. So

155
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:37.759
<v Speaker 3>ideally we have a balance. There's always a balance in

156
00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 3>the gut. The question is is it balanced the healthy

157
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:43.759
<v Speaker 3>side or the unhealthy side. If it's bounced the healthy side,

158
00:10:43.799 --> 00:10:46.679
<v Speaker 3>then your gut is able to make these neurotransfers we

159
00:10:46.759 --> 00:10:50.000
<v Speaker 3>talked about, it's able to fight off the viruses and

160
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 3>things that are trying to get into the bloodstream. They

161
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:55.399
<v Speaker 3>do this by building a wall between the gut lining

162
00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.279
<v Speaker 3>and the virus or the microbe that's trying to get

163
00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:00.960
<v Speaker 3>into the bloodstream. If you don't have that, then these

164
00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:03.240
<v Speaker 3>viruses can go straight into bloodstream and cause a lot

165
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:06.600
<v Speaker 3>of trouble. They also eat fiber. You've heard fiber is

166
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.159
<v Speaker 3>a good diet, good for the diet. Well, fiber not

167
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:12.360
<v Speaker 3>only helps you eliminate toxins as well as lowerer cholesterol

168
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 3>by absorbing the bio but the micro organisms eat the

169
00:11:16.639 --> 00:11:19.639
<v Speaker 3>eat the fiber, and the byproduct is short chain fatty

170
00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:25.919
<v Speaker 3>acids which contribute to my fusil immune system in the

171
00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>in the in the gut, which is your very first layer,

172
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:31.720
<v Speaker 3>after the after the layer of the of the gut.

173
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:35.440
<v Speaker 3>So it's really really important to have these these things

174
00:11:35.440 --> 00:11:38.039
<v Speaker 3>built up. When we don't have them, then we're not

175
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 3>making the neurotransmitters, we're not fighting off the viruses, we

176
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:43.679
<v Speaker 3>don't have the immune system. How many people do you

177
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 3>know say I get the first cold, I'm the first

178
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.720
<v Speaker 3>one you get a cold every time. The odds are

179
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 3>they don't have a good, a good solid gut foundation.

180
00:11:54.120 --> 00:11:56.840
<v Speaker 2>That's really interesting, Thank you, Bruce. And do you know

181
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:02.399
<v Speaker 2>everyone I have these stories, Bruce that everyone is probably

182
00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.600
<v Speaker 2>used to buy now. And by the way, everyone I

183
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:10.120
<v Speaker 2>know Bruce, I know Bruce personally, and you know that's

184
00:12:10.120 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 2>how I know. Just his wealth of information is really

185
00:12:13.399 --> 00:12:18.039
<v Speaker 2>really super helpful. And when you hear all these buzzwords,

186
00:12:18.120 --> 00:12:22.840
<v Speaker 2>like you've heard microbiome, which Bruce touched on, he ties

187
00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:26.559
<v Speaker 2>in everything together as well. So one of those little

188
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.960
<v Speaker 2>things that I've heard in the past my stories that

189
00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.000
<v Speaker 2>people know that I talk in is if you fix

190
00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.120
<v Speaker 2>your notes, you hear your toes. So you've talked about microbiome,

191
00:12:37.039 --> 00:12:44.799
<v Speaker 2>got immune system. It all is intertwined, interlaced, isn't it. Bruce?

192
00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.960
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, And then you can go further and start telling

193
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 3>it into the hormonal system as well down the road

194
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:54.879
<v Speaker 3>in our conversation because everything is everything.

195
00:12:55.840 --> 00:13:01.519
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, Remember folks, one of Genevieve's little stories about her mentors.

196
00:13:02.039 --> 00:13:04.759
<v Speaker 2>I have had many, many incredible people mentor me and Bruce.

197
00:13:04.840 --> 00:13:06.759
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know this, but I consider

198
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:12.039
<v Speaker 2>your mentor because I think I have a gift as well.

199
00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:15.480
<v Speaker 2>You know, people come to us, they have questions. It's

200
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:19.279
<v Speaker 2>very very complex. They have it with all the medical

201
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>jargon and they don't quite get it. How does it

202
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:25.399
<v Speaker 2>work for me at my level? So we take that

203
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.159
<v Speaker 2>and we make it simple. And so yes, you're one

204
00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.679
<v Speaker 2>of my mentors as well. So if you fix your nose,

205
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.440
<v Speaker 2>you hear your toes. Bruce, I'm gonna go to the

206
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:39.679
<v Speaker 2>next question about God because remember everyone got is foundational.

207
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:44.000
<v Speaker 2>You didn't think about God in menopause. Menopause, well, Bruce

208
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.799
<v Speaker 2>and I are here to tell you one hundred percent

209
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:49.960
<v Speaker 2>connected and you need to start there. So the next question,

210
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:55.720
<v Speaker 2>and God is got is how does stress impact gut health?

211
00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, that's a really important question because dress is

212
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.279
<v Speaker 3>actually one of the main contributors to poor digestion as

213
00:14:04.279 --> 00:14:07.600
<v Speaker 3>you get high cortisol, and high cortisol is a stress

214
00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:12.320
<v Speaker 3>reaction to being under stressed. So in the days of

215
00:14:12.320 --> 00:14:16.399
<v Speaker 3>the sabertoothed tiger, the sabertooth tiger would pop up, adrenaline

216
00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.360
<v Speaker 3>would hit you. You'd run the first one hundred yards and

217
00:14:18.440 --> 00:14:20.919
<v Speaker 3>now it's tracking you. You need more energy to keep going,

218
00:14:20.960 --> 00:14:25.039
<v Speaker 3>so cortisol would come in and keep you moving. And unfortunately,

219
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:27.600
<v Speaker 3>this is the flight flight reaction, and this is what

220
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.600
<v Speaker 3>we get into when we get stressed, is this fight

221
00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:33.080
<v Speaker 3>or flight, And so we fill up with cortisol, which

222
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>lowers our progesterone, thus hormones, which we'll go into a

223
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:40.480
<v Speaker 3>little more detail later. But the high cortisol actually does

224
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:43.399
<v Speaker 3>a number of things to the gut. One, because your

225
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:45.600
<v Speaker 3>body feels it's under this flight flight, so it has

226
00:14:45.679 --> 00:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>to run from the sabertooth tiger. It puts all its

227
00:14:48.360 --> 00:14:51.519
<v Speaker 3>energy into running, so it's not putting anything to digestion.

228
00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:54.720
<v Speaker 3>So you're getting all sorts of undigested food dropped into

229
00:14:54.720 --> 00:14:59.799
<v Speaker 3>your lower digestion track, which causes hyperfermentation, which causes leaky gut,

230
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.639
<v Speaker 3>and down the road these other chronic digestion diseases as well.

231
00:15:05.039 --> 00:15:08.480
<v Speaker 3>On top of that, it actually changes the microbiome from

232
00:15:08.519 --> 00:15:12.240
<v Speaker 3>healthy to unhealthy because again it's not concerned about digestion,

233
00:15:12.360 --> 00:15:18.240
<v Speaker 3>it's concerned about survival. And then finally it works with

234
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:23.600
<v Speaker 3>the proteins that control the access between the gut and

235
00:15:23.639 --> 00:15:25.960
<v Speaker 3>the bloodstream. The gut has to open up at times

236
00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:29.039
<v Speaker 3>to let the nutrients through. The problem is is once

237
00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:32.480
<v Speaker 3>you get the high cortisol, these onnulins, which are the proteins,

238
00:15:32.559 --> 00:15:34.960
<v Speaker 3>they open up all sorts, and they open up too much,

239
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:38.080
<v Speaker 3>so now you're getting all the viruses and the bacterias

240
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.840
<v Speaker 3>and feces. If you would being dropped into your bloodstream.

241
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:47.159
<v Speaker 3>So now you're going into huge inflammation from all this

242
00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:49.639
<v Speaker 3>stuff going into your bloodstream as well as your body's

243
00:15:49.679 --> 00:15:51.320
<v Speaker 3>working over time trying to clear it out.

244
00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:57.879
<v Speaker 2>Wow to the question, Okay, yes you did. Actually, Now

245
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:02.960
<v Speaker 2>everyone you see how this is a cascade. One of

246
00:16:02.960 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 2>the words that I love because again going back to

247
00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:07.639
<v Speaker 2>if you fix your nose, you hear your toes. Bruce

248
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.120
<v Speaker 2>just told us so many different things happen with a

249
00:16:12.240 --> 00:16:15.679
<v Speaker 2>healthy or unhealthy gut. When things open up and we

250
00:16:15.720 --> 00:16:19.440
<v Speaker 2>get what we don't want in the bloodstream, how is

251
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:21.679
<v Speaker 2>that going to affect us when we go through the

252
00:16:21.919 --> 00:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>change which we're coming up with. When your bloodstream is

253
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.840
<v Speaker 2>already filthy, things are not really getting from your gut

254
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 2>where they need to get to. Your digestion isn't working properly,

255
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.200
<v Speaker 2>so there's no way your hormones are going to work properly.

256
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:39.039
<v Speaker 2>And remember this is a walk. We're going going to

257
00:16:39.120 --> 00:16:43.240
<v Speaker 2>walk with wisdom, so we talk about these questions. Bruce,

258
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.639
<v Speaker 2>you're doing a phenomenal job doing a foundational explanation.

259
00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Folks.

260
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:51.799
<v Speaker 2>This isn't easy. I know, menopause is all over the place.

261
00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:53.919
<v Speaker 2>You haven't heard of menopause, Bruce and I are going

262
00:16:53.960 --> 00:16:57.720
<v Speaker 2>to touch on that later, but you haven't heard of

263
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:01.240
<v Speaker 2>it this way. And that's why a lot of clients

264
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.039
<v Speaker 2>that I've seen in my life coaching practice Bruce has

265
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:09.480
<v Speaker 2>seen in his counseling and coaching practice on health and nutraceuticals,

266
00:17:10.039 --> 00:17:13.559
<v Speaker 2>we don't get the results because we're not dealing with

267
00:17:13.680 --> 00:17:17.759
<v Speaker 2>the root cause we're not treating the body as a car. Bruce,

268
00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:20.000
<v Speaker 2>you may have missed this, but one of the stories

269
00:17:20.039 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 2>I told last week was one of my mentors a

270
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:28.039
<v Speaker 2>wise man, and I said, the wise man is sometimes

271
00:17:28.119 --> 00:17:31.559
<v Speaker 2>a wise woman. Often a wise woman said, if you

272
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:35.400
<v Speaker 2>fix your nose, you heal your toes. So that's why

273
00:17:35.480 --> 00:17:40.160
<v Speaker 2>we're talking about all the digestive issues first, so that

274
00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.279
<v Speaker 2>when we deal with the symptoms of menopause and menopause

275
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.160
<v Speaker 2>that we run to you guys will understand. And then

276
00:17:47.200 --> 00:17:50.400
<v Speaker 2>if we fix your nose, we're going to fix the gut. Foundationally,

277
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:55.039
<v Speaker 2>we'll be able to get answers from these hormones. Bruce,

278
00:17:55.240 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 2>we're going to be taking a short break and so oh,

279
00:18:00.920 --> 00:18:02.960
<v Speaker 2>I think what we'll do is ask a question after

280
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.240
<v Speaker 2>the short break. But until then, folks, please make your

281
00:18:06.279 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 2>comments and what I wanted to let you know is

282
00:18:09.640 --> 00:18:14.359
<v Speaker 2>if you wanted to reach out to me specifically, because

283
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, when we're on the open media, it's great.

284
00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:20.400
<v Speaker 2>We're one big family and I want you to be

285
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.640
<v Speaker 2>a part of the Walk with Wisdom family. But maybe

286
00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:26.640
<v Speaker 2>you have specific questions, don't hesitate to email Wisdom at

287
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.920
<v Speaker 2>Walk with Wisdom dot ca. Wisdom at Walk with Wisdom

288
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 2>dot Ca. I'll double check with Bruce on his best

289
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:37.200
<v Speaker 2>contact later on. And right now, everyone, we're going to

290
00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 2>take a short break so that or sponsors can give

291
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:44.079
<v Speaker 2>us some invaluable information. Thank you, and don't go away.

292
00:18:44.440 --> 00:19:51.799
<v Speaker 2>Come hi, everyone, Welcome back to Walk with Wisdom. I

293
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:56.359
<v Speaker 2>am Genevieve Wisdom, your host, and today we have Bruce Pollock.

294
00:19:56.680 --> 00:20:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Bruce is incredibly knowledgeible on how we get to move

295
00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.359
<v Speaker 2>through things that affect us as we go through useful aging,

296
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:13.079
<v Speaker 2>useful aging, looking good and feeling amazing as we age.

297
00:20:13.519 --> 00:20:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I invited him here to talk to us about hormones, menopause, menopause,

298
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and then Bruce in his true incredible style, because here's

299
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.519
<v Speaker 2>the thing we can talk about, a thing we can

300
00:20:26.599 --> 00:20:32.240
<v Speaker 2>throw supplements and many many different kinds of modalities to

301
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:35.400
<v Speaker 2>a thing like menopause. Menopause, but if we're not getting

302
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.880
<v Speaker 2>rid of the result, it's for not. Bruce is incredible

303
00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.720
<v Speaker 2>at saying great, we'll get there. That's the symptoms. Let's

304
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:46.960
<v Speaker 2>do the foundation. So we started out talking about GOT

305
00:20:47.119 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 2>right verus absolutely absolutely, So the GOT is foundational to

306
00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:57.839
<v Speaker 2>what we're gonna talk about next. So I have another

307
00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:02.079
<v Speaker 2>question here for you, Bruce, what is the connection you

308
00:21:02.160 --> 00:21:05.000
<v Speaker 2>mentioned cortisol and cortisol is one of those hormones, So

309
00:21:05.480 --> 00:21:07.400
<v Speaker 2>if you can explain to the audience what it is

310
00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:10.640
<v Speaker 2>which you've been doing phenomenally, what is the connection between

311
00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:12.519
<v Speaker 2>cortisol and gut health?

312
00:21:15.400 --> 00:21:17.799
<v Speaker 3>I touched on that briefly in my last answer, but

313
00:21:18.759 --> 00:21:24.480
<v Speaker 3>cortisol directly affects the gut in a numerous, numerous, numerous ways.

314
00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:28.440
<v Speaker 3>Just to go over it quickly again, it changes a

315
00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:32.400
<v Speaker 3>microbiome from healthy done healthy. Assume you add healthy microbiome

316
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:35.400
<v Speaker 3>to begin with, So now you're not breaking down foods properly.

317
00:21:36.039 --> 00:21:39.680
<v Speaker 3>It stops digestion from working correctly, so you're getting undigested

318
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:44.200
<v Speaker 3>food into the lower digestion track, causing hyper fermentation, which

319
00:21:44.240 --> 00:21:48.839
<v Speaker 3>is causing leaki gut. Ironically enough, Leaki got causes inflammation

320
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:53.839
<v Speaker 3>and information causes high cortisol, because cortisol is an anti inflammatory.

321
00:21:54.559 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 3>So you get leaki gut which comes first, the chicken

322
00:21:57.480 --> 00:22:00.000
<v Speaker 3>or the egg? Which comes first? The cortisol or the

323
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:03.480
<v Speaker 3>leaky gut? Right, it doesn't matter which. At some point

324
00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:05.839
<v Speaker 3>you have to deal with both of them, because you

325
00:22:05.880 --> 00:22:08.000
<v Speaker 3>can fix the gout all you like, but if you've

326
00:22:08.039 --> 00:22:11.200
<v Speaker 3>got high cortisol, you're still going to have leaky gut.

327
00:22:11.440 --> 00:22:13.079
<v Speaker 3>So it's one of those things you have to fix

328
00:22:13.119 --> 00:22:18.359
<v Speaker 3>both of them to have a healthy digestion track, of course.

329
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.640
<v Speaker 2>And Bruce, thank you so much for that. Okay, I

330
00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:25.400
<v Speaker 2>ask some of the things that I know you're thinking,

331
00:22:25.400 --> 00:22:27.559
<v Speaker 2>and I'm seeing your comments. Thank you so much. Keep

332
00:22:27.599 --> 00:22:31.000
<v Speaker 2>those comments coming, and remember to share the live with

333
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:35.839
<v Speaker 2>your friends, family, call all your cohorts that are out there,

334
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:40.079
<v Speaker 2>because we're new and getting your feedback on the topics

335
00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:44.200
<v Speaker 2>that you'd like to hear, especially with learned minds like Bruce,

336
00:22:44.480 --> 00:22:48.160
<v Speaker 2>is very invaluable to the show. So Bruce, like a

337
00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:52.000
<v Speaker 2>lot of you, we've heard about cortisol. We've heard about

338
00:22:52.359 --> 00:22:55.839
<v Speaker 2>of course, gut health and leaky gut. Can you dive

339
00:22:56.039 --> 00:22:59.519
<v Speaker 2>a little bit more into what leaky gut really is

340
00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.440
<v Speaker 2>I know you talked about tight junctions, et cetera. Can

341
00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:07.319
<v Speaker 2>you go back around speaking specifically about that term leaky

342
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:09.000
<v Speaker 2>gut that's been thrown around recently.

343
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:13.039
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely, and it is a relatively new term if you

344
00:23:13.079 --> 00:23:18.119
<v Speaker 3>think about the whole history of health, So our gut,

345
00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:20.240
<v Speaker 3>as I said earlier, it has to open up to

346
00:23:20.319 --> 00:23:23.599
<v Speaker 3>let the nutrition nutrient through into the blood stream at

347
00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.799
<v Speaker 3>some point. So in a healthy gut, you have the

348
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:28.079
<v Speaker 3>food coming in. It gets broken down the acid bath,

349
00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:31.480
<v Speaker 3>it gets dropped into the small intestine where it gets

350
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:34.319
<v Speaker 3>absorbed into the body at that point, then it moves

351
00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.559
<v Speaker 3>into the large intestine where it starts getting moved out

352
00:23:37.559 --> 00:23:40.400
<v Speaker 3>of the body from there. So in the small intestine

353
00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:43.720
<v Speaker 3>it's very premarable because that's how the nutrients get into

354
00:23:43.759 --> 00:23:46.839
<v Speaker 3>the get into the body, get into bloodstream. The problem

355
00:23:47.160 --> 00:23:49.400
<v Speaker 3>is is when you get high cortisol or you get

356
00:23:49.440 --> 00:23:52.720
<v Speaker 3>under stress, which causes high cortisol or you start eating

357
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.920
<v Speaker 3>foods that well, one of my mentors called them non foods,

358
00:23:57.400 --> 00:24:01.599
<v Speaker 3>the highly processed foods. Right, you start playing with the zonulins.

359
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.519
<v Speaker 3>The ziolins are the proteins that open up that control

360
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:07.400
<v Speaker 3>the tight junctions where the gout actually opens up to

361
00:24:07.400 --> 00:24:09.960
<v Speaker 3>the blood stream, and so it just spos to open

362
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:11.920
<v Speaker 3>up a tiny bit just to let the nutrients through.

363
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.519
<v Speaker 3>But once things go bad, it starts opening wide up.

364
00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:16.920
<v Speaker 3>Now again, you think about the things that are in

365
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.720
<v Speaker 3>our digestion track. They're not all good, right. We have

366
00:24:21.039 --> 00:24:23.319
<v Speaker 3>we have food that hasn't been broken down. We have

367
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:27.319
<v Speaker 3>viruses that haven't been killed by the by the micro microorganisms.

368
00:24:27.680 --> 00:24:31.799
<v Speaker 3>We have pathogens in there, and and we have feces

369
00:24:31.839 --> 00:24:34.000
<v Speaker 3>down the road in the big colon or in the

370
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:38.319
<v Speaker 3>smallt story the big testine. So all these things can

371
00:24:38.359 --> 00:24:40.759
<v Speaker 3>get into the can get into the blood stream if

372
00:24:40.839 --> 00:24:43.079
<v Speaker 3>we don't have a healthy gut, because the god's opening

373
00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.759
<v Speaker 3>up too much and it's letting all these things through. Now,

374
00:24:46.039 --> 00:24:48.519
<v Speaker 3>when I say this, don't pitch your bread crumbs. Be

375
00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.599
<v Speaker 3>careful with with what you're what you're thinking about. We're

376
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.079
<v Speaker 3>talking about molecules things on a molecular level. We're not

377
00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:57.519
<v Speaker 3>talking bread crumb size holes in your gut or anything

378
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.920
<v Speaker 3>like that. But it's enough to let the bad stuff in.

379
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 3>And now once you let the bad stuff in your bloodstream,

380
00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.359
<v Speaker 3>now you've opened up Pandora's box when it comes to

381
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.559
<v Speaker 3>health and especially healthy agent.

382
00:25:10.079 --> 00:25:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely absolutely, Bruce, thank you so much. That was a

383
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:18.000
<v Speaker 2>very very it was a visual explanation, and thank you

384
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:20.119
<v Speaker 2>for explaining to others like when we're talking and we're

385
00:25:20.119 --> 00:25:24.240
<v Speaker 2>talking on the molecular level, but enough to cause some

386
00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:30.839
<v Speaker 2>serious health effects and affect us as we age youthfully. Now,

387
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:36.640
<v Speaker 2>next question, how does poor gut health affect the liver?

388
00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:39.359
<v Speaker 2>And I thought we would bring the liver in because

389
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:42.119
<v Speaker 2>I know you're going to tie it all into menopause

390
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:45.440
<v Speaker 2>and menopause. How does poor gut health affect the liver? Bruce?

391
00:25:46.720 --> 00:25:50.319
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So the liver's job is to clean the bloodstream,

392
00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:53.599
<v Speaker 3>and now you're dumping all this stuff into the bloodstream

393
00:25:53.599 --> 00:25:56.839
<v Speaker 3>that doesn't belong, So you're going to overburden the the liver,

394
00:25:56.960 --> 00:25:59.279
<v Speaker 3>which wasn't really designed to pull that kind of stuff

395
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:02.440
<v Speaker 3>out of the bloodstam So you've got the liver that's

396
00:26:02.480 --> 00:26:05.279
<v Speaker 3>getting congested because it's pulling all this stuff that's a

397
00:26:05.319 --> 00:26:07.440
<v Speaker 3>leaky gout is putting the bloodstream the liver's trying to

398
00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:10.279
<v Speaker 3>clean out, Plus it's trying to remove all the hormones

399
00:26:10.519 --> 00:26:12.960
<v Speaker 3>that your body is no longer using. So you've got

400
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:16.160
<v Speaker 3>an excess of hormones, especially through menopause, and you've got

401
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:18.960
<v Speaker 3>a congested liver through all these things that are going

402
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:22.200
<v Speaker 3>into the bloodstream through the leaky got So with this

403
00:26:22.319 --> 00:26:26.279
<v Speaker 3>congestion happening, you're not removing the old hormones and you're

404
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:29.440
<v Speaker 3>not removing the jump from the liver either, So you're

405
00:26:29.599 --> 00:26:32.720
<v Speaker 3>causing quite a problem and a toxic again, a toxic

406
00:26:32.759 --> 00:26:35.599
<v Speaker 3>body if the body, the liver is not able to

407
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:39.519
<v Speaker 3>move this stuff through it. So you're causing a bit

408
00:26:39.559 --> 00:26:40.480
<v Speaker 3>of a problem that point.

409
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.640
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. Now I know a lot of you. And by

410
00:26:44.680 --> 00:26:46.519
<v Speaker 2>the way, I always take a moment to thank you

411
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.839
<v Speaker 2>for your comments. I love it when it's really active.

412
00:26:49.960 --> 00:26:53.839
<v Speaker 2>And again, if you want specific questions answered, please don't

422
00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:43.559
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna keep going on the liver, Okay, all of

423
00:27:43.599 --> 00:27:46.920
<v Speaker 2>you your comments, stop me talking about the liver, Bruce.

424
00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.359
<v Speaker 2>There's so much stuff about the liver, and we talked

425
00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:59.279
<v Speaker 2>about the gut and the liver connection. Now you mentioned

426
00:27:59.319 --> 00:28:03.000
<v Speaker 2>that if the gut is leaky, and you talked about

427
00:28:03.079 --> 00:28:06.319
<v Speaker 2>leaky gut, then it's more things for the liver to

428
00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:07.880
<v Speaker 2>have to filter. Is that correct?

429
00:28:08.640 --> 00:28:10.440
<v Speaker 3>Correct? Yeah?

430
00:28:10.519 --> 00:28:15.160
<v Speaker 2>Perfect, Bruce. I'm not hearing you there. I look like

431
00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.000
<v Speaker 2>you said correct, but I didn't hear you. Can you repeat?

432
00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:20.839
<v Speaker 3>Just make sure we haven't.

433
00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:26.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes? Perfect, you said correct, excellent, And so so you

434
00:28:26.960 --> 00:28:29.079
<v Speaker 2>know how you said before, what came first, the chicken

435
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:32.599
<v Speaker 2>or the egg? Is it leaky gut? Because and the

436
00:28:32.599 --> 00:28:34.599
<v Speaker 2>reason why I'm talking about the liver a little bit

437
00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:39.559
<v Speaker 2>more so, I have a further question to that is

438
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:43.759
<v Speaker 2>what happens when the liver becomes congested? And I'm wondering

439
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:46.680
<v Speaker 2>if you could kind of tie that back into the gut.

440
00:28:46.880 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 2>What came first? Is it the leaky gut that causes

441
00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.920
<v Speaker 2>congested liver or is it some the liver that causes

442
00:28:54.000 --> 00:28:58.240
<v Speaker 2>leaky gut? And then it's a two part question. And

443
00:28:58.279 --> 00:29:02.759
<v Speaker 2>then really in the context of youthful aging and hormones, breaking.

444
00:29:02.519 --> 00:29:09.680
<v Speaker 3>Down the hormones, so the leaki gut tends to come

445
00:29:09.759 --> 00:29:13.039
<v Speaker 3>first before the congested liver because that's what causes the

446
00:29:13.079 --> 00:29:16.240
<v Speaker 3>congested liver. So you get the leaky gut and you

447
00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:18.559
<v Speaker 3>get all this stuff going intor bloodstream. The liver has

448
00:29:18.599 --> 00:29:20.519
<v Speaker 3>to work over time to try to get rid of it,

449
00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.440
<v Speaker 3>and it gets congested. Now the question was what happens

450
00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:29.240
<v Speaker 3>once your liver becomes congested. Well, that's a wide and

451
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.480
<v Speaker 3>varied question because there's just so much that can happen

452
00:29:33.799 --> 00:29:36.119
<v Speaker 3>because think about now, you're not moving the toxins from

453
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:39.559
<v Speaker 3>your body. So what's a cyst in your body? It

454
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter where the cyst is, but what's a cyst.

455
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:44.920
<v Speaker 3>It's toxins that aren't being removed from body, right, So

456
00:29:44.960 --> 00:29:47.640
<v Speaker 3>you have this toxic build up and it can take many,

457
00:29:47.640 --> 00:29:50.200
<v Speaker 3>many different forms. Cysts is just one of them. That's

458
00:29:50.240 --> 00:29:55.759
<v Speaker 3>an example, as well as skin problems because again you're

459
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:59.039
<v Speaker 3>not removing toxins. They've got to go someplace. The skin

460
00:29:59.119 --> 00:30:01.839
<v Speaker 3>is one of your cleansing areas because toxins get pushed

461
00:30:01.839 --> 00:30:04.680
<v Speaker 3>out the skin. So you have skin issues, you can

462
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:08.079
<v Speaker 3>have Oh it just goes on and on. But definitely

463
00:30:08.200 --> 00:30:11.359
<v Speaker 3>high inflammation as well. There's there's no way around that.

464
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:14.480
<v Speaker 3>If you if your lyrics congested, you're high inflamed as well.

465
00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Excellent, Oh wow, Bruce, And again everyone that's listening, you

466
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:23.759
<v Speaker 2>see these themes keep coming back through our discussion with Bruce.

467
00:30:25.440 --> 00:30:28.519
<v Speaker 2>Everything is interrelated. If you fix your nose, you hear

468
00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:31.799
<v Speaker 2>your toes. We're gonna start foundationally, which is why Bruce,

469
00:30:32.000 --> 00:30:37.200
<v Speaker 2>in his eloquent way and in his wisdom wink wink said, Genevieve,

470
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:40.759
<v Speaker 2>let's talk start with gut health before we go into

471
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.759
<v Speaker 2>all the symptoms of menopause. And of course, folks, we're

472
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:51.720
<v Speaker 2>going to have some amazing ways to fix it. However,

473
00:30:51.880 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 2>today we have to start foundationally, get to know one

474
00:30:55.559 --> 00:30:59.039
<v Speaker 2>another and see what came first, the chicken or the egg.

475
00:30:59.599 --> 00:31:04.240
<v Speaker 2>So going back a little bit more here, so again

476
00:31:04.839 --> 00:31:08.200
<v Speaker 2>everyone remember the context of menopause. Menopause, one thing that

477
00:31:08.279 --> 00:31:13.119
<v Speaker 2>happens is of course brain disruptions like you know, sleep,

478
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:19.000
<v Speaker 2>et cetera. So Bruce mentioned the gut has a major

479
00:31:19.119 --> 00:31:23.079
<v Speaker 2>role that it plays in Neuer transmitters, which I never

480
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:25.799
<v Speaker 2>heard of that you think of your brain, you go, oh, well,

481
00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:28.799
<v Speaker 2>everything has to do with your brain, and oh, Bruce,

482
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:32.400
<v Speaker 2>I have heard of Let me ask you. I thought

483
00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 2>of another question everyone, because Bruce does this to me,

484
00:31:35.119 --> 00:31:38.640
<v Speaker 2>My brain just fires because you know so much. So

485
00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:43.720
<v Speaker 2>what does the gut have to do with newer transmitters

486
00:31:44.119 --> 00:31:45.640
<v Speaker 2>and brain health in general?

487
00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.480
<v Speaker 3>Okay, well, you can't have a healthy brain if you

488
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:53.519
<v Speaker 3>don't have a healthy gut. Just period. We've covered earlier.

489
00:31:53.559 --> 00:31:56.640
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned that that the brain actually makes the ninety

490
00:31:56.640 --> 00:31:59.279
<v Speaker 3>eight percent of neurotransfer Sorry, the gut makes ninety eight

491
00:31:59.279 --> 00:32:01.960
<v Speaker 3>percent of the neuro transmitters. If you think about the

492
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.599
<v Speaker 3>neurotransmitters and actually put a label on them, what they do.

493
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Glutamate for example, memory and cognition, mood regulation. So if

494
00:32:10.240 --> 00:32:13.039
<v Speaker 3>you don't have a good memory or your cognition is

495
00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:15.440
<v Speaker 3>that you're not your brain isn't firing one hundred percent,

496
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.680
<v Speaker 3>it could be glued tomate gabba. It produces a commune effect.

497
00:32:19.720 --> 00:32:23.599
<v Speaker 3>It's very good against anxiety, stress, and fear. So if

498
00:32:23.599 --> 00:32:25.880
<v Speaker 3>you're an anxiety, stress and fear all the time, it

499
00:32:25.920 --> 00:32:32.039
<v Speaker 3>could be a GABA issue. Serotonin digestion, nausea, sexual desire,

500
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.160
<v Speaker 3>even is serotonin. Dopamine gives you a feeling of pleasure

501
00:32:36.200 --> 00:32:40.279
<v Speaker 3>and satisfaction and motivation helps controlling the memory, mood, sleep

502
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:44.200
<v Speaker 3>and learning, and concentration. So those are a few things.

503
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:47.319
<v Speaker 3>So if you've got a gut that isn't healthy, you're

504
00:32:47.359 --> 00:32:49.880
<v Speaker 3>not making the neurotransmitters, you don't have that healthy brain.

505
00:32:50.440 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 3>But you can also go further and go with the leak.

506
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.319
<v Speaker 3>Go back to leak you gut. Where you get all

507
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.519
<v Speaker 3>these pathogens being leaked into bloodstream, Well, many of them

508
00:32:57.680 --> 00:33:01.200
<v Speaker 3>cross the blood brain barrier, the us of by brain barrier.

509
00:33:01.400 --> 00:33:04.559
<v Speaker 3>They cause an inflamed brain. If they cause an inflamed brain,

510
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:07.640
<v Speaker 3>then your your your neurons aren't your your brain isn't

511
00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:11.799
<v Speaker 3>firing properly. If it's not firing properly, then the microglia,

512
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.359
<v Speaker 3>this is the anti brain I call it. It comes

513
00:33:15.400 --> 00:33:18.160
<v Speaker 3>along and trims your brain because it thinks your brain,

514
00:33:18.440 --> 00:33:21.079
<v Speaker 3>these these things are supposed to be firing. It thinks

515
00:33:21.119 --> 00:33:24.160
<v Speaker 3>they're not working properly, so it trims them off. And

516
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:27.039
<v Speaker 3>so you get this inflame brain and you're getting your

517
00:33:27.079 --> 00:33:31.200
<v Speaker 3>brain trimmed off by by by the self defense mechanisms

518
00:33:31.200 --> 00:33:33.720
<v Speaker 3>in the brain. So you have a very sluggish brain.

519
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:38.839
<v Speaker 3>And then if you have high cortisol, you have low pgesterone,

520
00:33:38.880 --> 00:33:43.039
<v Speaker 3>which again we'll get into and pagestones are calm calming hormone,

521
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.200
<v Speaker 3>and so if you don't have that to calm the

522
00:33:45.240 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 3>brain down, now you're firing on all cylinders the fight

523
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:51.160
<v Speaker 3>and flight reaction that we're talking about earlier. So you're

524
00:33:51.200 --> 00:33:54.400
<v Speaker 3>firing your adrenals to kick more cortisol up, which causes

525
00:33:54.440 --> 00:33:58.279
<v Speaker 3>more leaky got, more inflammation, and less progesterone. So the

526
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:01.079
<v Speaker 3>less progesterone, your brain is now in flight mode even further,

527
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:04.240
<v Speaker 3>kicking your dreanals up, causing more ports all, less progesterone,

528
00:34:04.359 --> 00:34:07.680
<v Speaker 3>more leaky gut. So you've got this whole circular thing happening,

529
00:34:08.280 --> 00:34:11.679
<v Speaker 3>and you're trying to think properly. Well, it's hard to

530
00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:16.960
<v Speaker 3>think without enough neurotransmitters, without progesterone, and with an inflamed brain. Right,

531
00:34:17.000 --> 00:34:19.639
<v Speaker 3>And as you keep saying it's all connected, it's all connected,

532
00:34:20.280 --> 00:34:23.039
<v Speaker 3>There isn't there any isn't any of this that isn't

533
00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:24.480
<v Speaker 3>connected to the other part of it.

534
00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Bruce, I'm telling you, and I know from more

535
00:34:30.280 --> 00:34:34.239
<v Speaker 2>valued listeners on the live. Remember everyone share the live,

536
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:38.039
<v Speaker 2>so everyone gets some of walk with wisdom today as

537
00:34:38.199 --> 00:34:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Bruce brings just so much knowledge to this area of

538
00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:49.039
<v Speaker 2>menopause and menopause and just talking about how the gut.

539
00:34:49.280 --> 00:34:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Who would have thunk it? I mean, normally we just

540
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:56.000
<v Speaker 2>think these symptoms are happening and we don't go to

541
00:34:56.079 --> 00:34:59.400
<v Speaker 2>the root cause, which is really the gut. Is that

542
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:03.840
<v Speaker 2>what I mean? And Bruce is that the root cost

543
00:35:03.920 --> 00:35:06.519
<v Speaker 2>to a lot of these symptoms which we'll talk about later,

544
00:35:06.840 --> 00:35:08.920
<v Speaker 2>that happens in menopause and menopause.

545
00:35:10.119 --> 00:35:13.679
<v Speaker 3>There's absolutely there's two of them. And again the chicken

546
00:35:13.719 --> 00:35:18.480
<v Speaker 3>of the egg, stress and gut, because stress is the

547
00:35:18.480 --> 00:35:21.679
<v Speaker 3>other cause, because even if you had a perfect gut,

548
00:35:21.679 --> 00:35:23.480
<v Speaker 3>if you go under stress, it will destroy your gut.

549
00:35:24.760 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 3>So those are the two. And also stress of course

550
00:35:27.519 --> 00:35:30.480
<v Speaker 3>plays havoc with your hormones as well. Directly, it plays

551
00:35:30.519 --> 00:35:33.639
<v Speaker 3>havoc with your hormones by creating the cortisol, which lowers

552
00:35:33.639 --> 00:35:37.440
<v Speaker 3>your progesterone. And if you take the cascade, you go

553
00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:41.840
<v Speaker 3>from the DHA and it goes to either progesterone or

554
00:35:41.880 --> 00:35:45.960
<v Speaker 3>then it goes down to testosterone, and and those ones

555
00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:49.280
<v Speaker 3>on that side, including the thyroid. Well, if everything is

556
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.119
<v Speaker 3>going to the progesterone because you're a fight flight mode

557
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:55.159
<v Speaker 3>and your body believes it has to survive. Then nothing,

558
00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:57.559
<v Speaker 3>not nothing, but very little is going the other way.

559
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:01.000
<v Speaker 3>And this is why often I see I see people

560
00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:04.079
<v Speaker 3>being prescribed T one or T three, T two, T

561
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 3>three the thyroid medication when they're really stressed out. It's

562
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.800
<v Speaker 3>because they're not getting the DH where it needs to

563
00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.559
<v Speaker 3>go through the hypothema's peturitary access. So you've got all this,

564
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:19.079
<v Speaker 3>all this, all these hormones going to the progesterone to

565
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.480
<v Speaker 3>feed the cortisol because your body bleaves, it has to

566
00:36:21.519 --> 00:36:24.239
<v Speaker 3>fight or flight, so it's in this run mode all

567
00:36:24.239 --> 00:36:27.880
<v Speaker 3>the time, and you're not feeding the estrogen and testosterone

568
00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:31.360
<v Speaker 3>on the other side, or the or the thyroid. So

569
00:36:32.599 --> 00:36:36.760
<v Speaker 3>stress causes the high high cortisol, causes leaky gut. Leaky

570
00:36:36.760 --> 00:36:40.639
<v Speaker 3>gut causes high cortisol, which throws out your So they're both,

571
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 3>they're both part of the same animal. If you would.

572
00:36:45.559 --> 00:36:49.599
<v Speaker 2>Perfect perfect, they're both bookends and not a perfection for us.

573
00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:51.960
<v Speaker 2>Thank you Bruce for that. We're going to take a

574
00:36:52.079 --> 00:36:56.559
<v Speaker 2>short break everyone and we'll be right back. Bruce is

575
00:36:56.599 --> 00:37:00.519
<v Speaker 2>going to give us more knowledge around this incredible topic

576
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:03.920
<v Speaker 2>starting foundationally so we can get some relief in menopause

577
00:37:03.960 --> 00:38:32.920
<v Speaker 2>and menopause. We'll be right back. Hi, everyone, welcome back

578
00:38:33.199 --> 00:38:36.280
<v Speaker 2>to Walk with Wisdom. I'm Genevieve Wisdom, your host, and

579
00:38:36.400 --> 00:38:40.039
<v Speaker 2>I have the amazing Bruce Pollock here today. And Bruce

580
00:38:40.239 --> 00:38:44.039
<v Speaker 2>is explaining to us why when we hear the word

581
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:49.639
<v Speaker 2>menopause or menopause, or when we're at that stage, we

582
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:56.000
<v Speaker 2>don't just run to symptoms and hormones, We run to

583
00:38:56.039 --> 00:39:00.199
<v Speaker 2>our guts. Have you ever heard such a thing? But

584
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:03.360
<v Speaker 2>when Bruce explains it, and by the way, everyone please

585
00:39:03.400 --> 00:39:08.239
<v Speaker 2>share the life and here Bruce's wisdom. Bruce, I can't

586
00:39:08.239 --> 00:39:10.760
<v Speaker 2>help but saying, you know it's your wisdom to add

587
00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:14.039
<v Speaker 2>to my wisdom. You see how that works. And here

588
00:39:14.079 --> 00:39:18.280
<v Speaker 2>Bruce's wisdom on this because it totally makes sense. If

589
00:39:18.320 --> 00:39:22.960
<v Speaker 2>you ever wonder why we those of us who are

590
00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:26.760
<v Speaker 2>going through it, don't get relief, can you see my finger,

591
00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:33.000
<v Speaker 2>don't get relief? Is possibly because we are attacking it

592
00:39:33.039 --> 00:39:38.159
<v Speaker 2>in a very very different way. Bruce. When you say

593
00:39:38.239 --> 00:39:42.119
<v Speaker 2>kind of the backwards way, it's counterintuitive how we need

594
00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.880
<v Speaker 2>to attack the stage of menopause and menopause isn't it.

595
00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:48.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, you think when you're putting out of a fire,

596
00:39:48.920 --> 00:39:51.599
<v Speaker 4>you don't. You don't throw water on the upper flames,

597
00:39:51.639 --> 00:39:55.039
<v Speaker 4>you put it on the fire below, right, So you

598
00:39:55.079 --> 00:39:57.559
<v Speaker 4>need to you need to hit the cause of these things,

599
00:39:57.599 --> 00:39:59.559
<v Speaker 4>not just the symptomology of them.

600
00:40:00.199 --> 00:40:04.159
<v Speaker 2>Love that, Bruce, I love that. I love analogies, and

601
00:40:05.400 --> 00:40:08.360
<v Speaker 2>that was a great way for us to think about,

602
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:13.519
<v Speaker 2>you know, putting out this hot flash that's happening, having

603
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:20.079
<v Speaker 2>one right. Yeah, So Bruce, continue on your questions. So

604
00:40:20.159 --> 00:40:25.400
<v Speaker 2>you mentioned cortisol, and cortisol is a major hormone. Everyone

605
00:40:25.800 --> 00:40:29.920
<v Speaker 2>I know we're doing the big picture. Bruce is phenomenal

606
00:40:30.039 --> 00:40:32.519
<v Speaker 2>at tying it up, bringing it back and tying it

607
00:40:32.519 --> 00:40:35.079
<v Speaker 2>all up. So we talked about cortisol. You've probably all

608
00:40:35.119 --> 00:40:38.800
<v Speaker 2>heard about cortisol, the hormone. Bruce explained, Bruce, if you

609
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:45.239
<v Speaker 2>can just repeat another mentor another word of wisdom. Repetition

610
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:47.239
<v Speaker 2>is the mother's skill. I got that from one of

611
00:40:47.239 --> 00:40:51.320
<v Speaker 2>my mentors. You might all recognize that one. And so, Bruce,

612
00:40:51.320 --> 00:40:55.320
<v Speaker 2>if you could please repeat what the cortisol hormone does,

613
00:40:55.559 --> 00:40:59.880
<v Speaker 2>specifically how it affects the gout or the gut affects it,

614
00:41:00.719 --> 00:41:04.360
<v Speaker 2>and then tied in to sleep and anxiety because we

615
00:41:04.480 --> 00:41:07.400
<v Speaker 2>kind of left off on brain fight or flight, et cetera.

616
00:41:08.559 --> 00:41:14.440
<v Speaker 3>All right, so quick review. High cortisol disrupts the microbiome,

617
00:41:14.840 --> 00:41:17.760
<v Speaker 3>which stops the neuro transmitters from being made. So this

618
00:41:17.880 --> 00:41:22.000
<v Speaker 3>throws mood into the issue. But high courtisol also there's

619
00:41:22.000 --> 00:41:24.840
<v Speaker 3>some side effects of high courtisol that we haven't talked about.

620
00:41:25.199 --> 00:41:27.559
<v Speaker 3>When is anxiety and when is wake you up in

621
00:41:27.559 --> 00:41:30.960
<v Speaker 3>the middle of the night. So if you have high curtisol.

622
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Wait, I have that. Sorry, Bruce, I had to jump

623
00:41:33.880 --> 00:41:35.760
<v Speaker 2>in and say I have that, and those of you

624
00:41:35.800 --> 00:41:40.159
<v Speaker 2>who know me, no, I don't sleep, so forgive me, Bruce.

625
00:41:40.519 --> 00:41:43.719
<v Speaker 2>High cortisol does that really, So.

626
00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.800
<v Speaker 3>What generally happens is you get given something for anxiety

627
00:41:50.519 --> 00:41:53.920
<v Speaker 3>and you get given something for sleep instead of something

628
00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:58.480
<v Speaker 3>for your drenals which is producing all this cortisol, and

629
00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:01.119
<v Speaker 3>also something to calm your brain down to stop the

630
00:42:01.119 --> 00:42:04.559
<v Speaker 3>fight flight reactions going to your dreanals, which is again

631
00:42:04.679 --> 00:42:08.280
<v Speaker 3>causing the cortisol. So when you think about high cortisol,

632
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:11.880
<v Speaker 3>you think about bad digestion, you think about newer transmitters,

633
00:42:12.199 --> 00:42:14.920
<v Speaker 3>you think about inflame brain, you think about anxiety and

634
00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.079
<v Speaker 3>waking up in the middle of the night. It's a

635
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:21.480
<v Speaker 3>multifaceted thing. And as I said, you don't even have

636
00:42:21.519 --> 00:42:23.320
<v Speaker 3>to be under stressed have high courtosol. You just have

637
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.119
<v Speaker 3>to have leaky gut. But if you're under stress, it

638
00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.920
<v Speaker 3>doubles and triples this. And I've had people come to

639
00:42:30.960 --> 00:42:33.199
<v Speaker 3>you all the time saying I need something to sleep,

640
00:42:33.519 --> 00:42:36.119
<v Speaker 3>Give me something to help me sleep, and it in

641
00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.719
<v Speaker 3>fact what they need is something to support their dreanals

642
00:42:38.840 --> 00:42:40.599
<v Speaker 3>so that the cortisol levels lower down.

643
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:45.800
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Bruce, have I come to you and say I

644
00:42:45.800 --> 00:42:48.119
<v Speaker 2>need something to sleep? That sounded like me?

645
00:42:48.840 --> 00:42:49.760
<v Speaker 3>Is he talking about?

646
00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not the only one, Bruce and everyone. That's why

647
00:42:54.079 --> 00:42:57.400
<v Speaker 2>we're doing this show. Walk with Wisdom is really about

648
00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.880
<v Speaker 2>just us having a talk at this level in our

649
00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.960
<v Speaker 2>extraordinary lives. We hear the doctors and the stars and

650
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:09.039
<v Speaker 2>all these people talk about it, but this is like

651
00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.119
<v Speaker 2>just being, you know, at home in your living room

652
00:43:12.159 --> 00:43:14.960
<v Speaker 2>with a friend. For us to become friends and talk

653
00:43:15.000 --> 00:43:19.239
<v Speaker 2>about these things and talk about it so real, so natural,

654
00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:22.639
<v Speaker 2>not in a perfect way, you know. As you know,

655
00:43:22.719 --> 00:43:25.519
<v Speaker 2>if I take about a minute to get ready, one

656
00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.280
<v Speaker 2>of the reasons is because I don't sleep and I've

657
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:29.519
<v Speaker 2>gone to Bruce asking him for something to sleep, and

658
00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:33.119
<v Speaker 2>he's going, well, let's talk about the adrenals, Bruce. I

659
00:43:33.159 --> 00:43:34.920
<v Speaker 2>want to jump in for a moment, just for a

660
00:43:35.000 --> 00:43:41.760
<v Speaker 2>guest who probably have never heard of the adrenals in

661
00:43:41.800 --> 00:43:44.440
<v Speaker 2>the way that you're talking. Can you talk about the adrenals?

662
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:46.440
<v Speaker 2>What is the adrenals? Exactly?

663
00:43:47.920 --> 00:43:50.360
<v Speaker 3>There are two organs. They sit on either side of

664
00:43:50.360 --> 00:43:55.119
<v Speaker 3>your body, just above the kidneys, I believe actually, and

665
00:43:56.039 --> 00:43:58.800
<v Speaker 3>they're really there to keep you alive when you're in

666
00:43:58.800 --> 00:44:03.320
<v Speaker 3>a state of panic and shock. Again, adrenaline is a

667
00:44:03.360 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 3>wonderful thing when you have to go run in and

668
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:10.239
<v Speaker 3>pull your child up a burning building, right or you

669
00:44:10.440 --> 00:44:13.360
<v Speaker 3>have to you have to outrun that saber toothed tiger,

670
00:44:13.840 --> 00:44:17.000
<v Speaker 3>Adrenaline is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Quota's all is a

671
00:44:17.039 --> 00:44:19.840
<v Speaker 3>wonderful thing. When you're in that blizzard and you still

672
00:44:19.880 --> 00:44:22.039
<v Speaker 3>have to walk ten miles to get to the nearest

673
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:25.880
<v Speaker 3>cabin where it's warm. You need that extra energy. You

674
00:44:25.960 --> 00:44:29.559
<v Speaker 3>need this pumping into you, and you don't need digestion

675
00:44:29.639 --> 00:44:32.719
<v Speaker 3>at that point. You need survival. So these things are

676
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:36.360
<v Speaker 3>are wonderful tools for us. The problem is with modern

677
00:44:36.559 --> 00:44:39.239
<v Speaker 3>if you think about life modern we're designed to go

678
00:44:39.320 --> 00:44:42.119
<v Speaker 3>what fifteen kilometers an hour, but we hop in our

679
00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:43.920
<v Speaker 3>car and we drive one hundred kilometers an hour. We

680
00:44:43.960 --> 00:44:46.559
<v Speaker 3>don't think about it, and we have all this world

681
00:44:46.599 --> 00:44:49.400
<v Speaker 3>whipping by our eyes at one hundred kilometers an hour

682
00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:52.800
<v Speaker 3>when we're designed to go fifteen. That stress. If you're

683
00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:55.960
<v Speaker 3>watching TV and you watch a commercial, you count every

684
00:44:56.039 --> 00:44:59.079
<v Speaker 3>three seconds they slice to another scene in a commercial.

685
00:45:00.039 --> 00:45:02.519
<v Speaker 3>So you've got that coming at you, and you've got

686
00:45:02.519 --> 00:45:06.000
<v Speaker 3>normal life coming at you, apparently, And I'm going to

687
00:45:06.039 --> 00:45:08.880
<v Speaker 3>misquote this, so don't quote me on this, please, no

688
00:45:08.960 --> 00:45:13.559
<v Speaker 3>bad comments. Forty years ago, we had like forty four

689
00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:17.039
<v Speaker 3>thousand bits of information come at us a day. Now

690
00:45:17.039 --> 00:45:20.039
<v Speaker 3>it's five hundred thousand bits of information coming at us

691
00:45:20.039 --> 00:45:23.679
<v Speaker 3>a day because of our phones and because of computers. Well,

692
00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:26.719
<v Speaker 3>you think about that. That's not what our brain and

693
00:45:26.760 --> 00:45:29.559
<v Speaker 3>our bodies were designed to deal with. So we've got

694
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.400
<v Speaker 3>all this coming at us. We're driving at one hundred

695
00:45:31.440 --> 00:45:34.679
<v Speaker 3>klometers an hour, we're designed to go fifteen. We watch

696
00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:37.159
<v Speaker 3>TV and the cut cut, cut, cuts, and all this

697
00:45:37.239 --> 00:45:39.519
<v Speaker 3>our brain is keeping up with. We've got all this

698
00:45:39.639 --> 00:45:42.559
<v Speaker 3>information on our phones that our brain is keeping up with.

699
00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.360
<v Speaker 3>We've got all these communications that our brain is keeping

700
00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.559
<v Speaker 3>up with. This is all stress. This isn't something our

701
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.400
<v Speaker 3>bodies were designed to do. So you don't even have

702
00:45:52.440 --> 00:45:55.679
<v Speaker 3>be a stressful person. You're just living in a stressful world.

703
00:45:56.320 --> 00:45:59.000
<v Speaker 3>And it doesn't matter how calm you are, you're still

704
00:45:59.239 --> 00:46:02.440
<v Speaker 3>you've still got all this information coming at you. So

705
00:46:03.559 --> 00:46:06.559
<v Speaker 3>if we tie this back to cortisol and adrenals, it's

706
00:46:06.679 --> 00:46:08.639
<v Speaker 3>very easy to fall into the fight flight because our

707
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:11.559
<v Speaker 3>body doesn't have eyes, right, it doesn't know what's going on.

708
00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:13.519
<v Speaker 3>It only knows what the brain is telling. And the

709
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:15.199
<v Speaker 3>brain is saying we're under stress, were under stressed, were

710
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:17.159
<v Speaker 3>under stressed. Well, in the old days, that meant we're

711
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:21.760
<v Speaker 3>gonna die, right, it didn't mean that. You know, I've

712
00:46:21.800 --> 00:46:24.480
<v Speaker 3>been dropped as a friend on my Facebook. This is

713
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:27.599
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna die. So that's what the that's what the

714
00:46:27.800 --> 00:46:30.199
<v Speaker 3>body says when we're under stressed, is we're gonna die.

715
00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:32.480
<v Speaker 3>We need we need to survive high cortisol, we need

716
00:46:32.480 --> 00:46:35.119
<v Speaker 3>to get out of the situation. So this high cortisol

717
00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:37.119
<v Speaker 3>just keeps coming at us and keeps coming as keeps

718
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:40.679
<v Speaker 3>coming at us because we're always stressed, and this is

719
00:46:40.719 --> 00:46:44.400
<v Speaker 3>what's causing this and the gut are the root of

720
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:47.679
<v Speaker 3>ninety nine percent of all our problems, and it's just

721
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:50.760
<v Speaker 3>I think I believe it's that simple. Hopefully I made

722
00:46:50.800 --> 00:46:51.280
<v Speaker 3>it simple.

723
00:46:52.679 --> 00:46:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely well, you know everyone, and thank you for your comments. Bruce.

724
00:46:56.800 --> 00:46:59.920
<v Speaker 2>We're getting some really great comments on everyone, you know,

725
00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:08.519
<v Speaker 2>because you're actually giving a foundational explanation to hormones in

726
00:47:08.599 --> 00:47:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the way that we've never heard it. And it's the gut,

727
00:47:11.079 --> 00:47:14.239
<v Speaker 2>it's stress, and you know, we can talk further about it.

728
00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:18.800
<v Speaker 2>But you did take a very complicated scenario and make

729
00:47:18.840 --> 00:47:22.039
<v Speaker 2>it simple, right, folks. He's really good at that. That's excellent.

730
00:47:22.800 --> 00:47:27.760
<v Speaker 2>Now I want to move on to a couple more things,

731
00:47:27.800 --> 00:47:30.559
<v Speaker 2>and these are probably you know, everyone, we're touching on this.

732
00:47:30.760 --> 00:47:34.360
<v Speaker 2>As Bruce says, you know, it's a big picture. So

733
00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:37.519
<v Speaker 2>we're painting the big picture right now, and then we'll

734
00:47:37.559 --> 00:47:39.920
<v Speaker 2>go deeper. So Bruce, you're probably gonna have to come

735
00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:45.960
<v Speaker 2>back to go deeper because everyone, please send your questions

736
00:47:46.000 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 2>directly to me, how it affects you personally, questions you

737
00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:52.039
<v Speaker 2>may want us to ask. Bruce, could you come back.

738
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:56.599
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna come and say am to come back for

739
00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:01.960
<v Speaker 2>that would be awesome, Bruce, because then we can go deeper,

740
00:48:02.000 --> 00:48:05.880
<v Speaker 2>and then we can stack. Remember everyone stacking. We start

741
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:09.679
<v Speaker 2>foundationally and we stack what we need to do to

742
00:48:09.800 --> 00:48:14.920
<v Speaker 2>get better results faster. So along those lines, Bruce, just

743
00:48:15.039 --> 00:48:20.119
<v Speaker 2>one more. We've talked about just so many things. Back

744
00:48:20.159 --> 00:48:25.440
<v Speaker 2>to the gut. How does poor digestion contribute to weight gain?

745
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:27.320
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why I bring this up is in

746
00:48:27.360 --> 00:48:29.719
<v Speaker 2>the context of menopause. Menopause because that's one of the

747
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:32.760
<v Speaker 2>symptoms we talked about. You know early in the intro.

748
00:48:36.440 --> 00:48:39.079
<v Speaker 3>If the gut is not healthy, it can't break the

749
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:42.119
<v Speaker 3>minerals out from the from the food that's in the body,

750
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:44.920
<v Speaker 3>that's in the digestion track. If you can't break the

751
00:48:44.960 --> 00:48:47.159
<v Speaker 3>minerals out, then your body is not going to function

752
00:48:47.199 --> 00:48:50.880
<v Speaker 3>correctly and even dealing with the excess with the fats,

753
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:54.519
<v Speaker 3>the sugars, the oils, because it can't it's not healthy

754
00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:57.760
<v Speaker 3>enough to do that, and so it stores it. So

755
00:48:57.800 --> 00:48:59.800
<v Speaker 3>you get all this stuff being stored in your body

756
00:48:59.800 --> 00:49:03.000
<v Speaker 3>because it can't deal with it correctly. And this is

757
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.519
<v Speaker 3>what the gut's supposed to do is deal with these

758
00:49:04.519 --> 00:49:07.159
<v Speaker 3>things correctly. This is assuming we have somewhat of a

759
00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:12.360
<v Speaker 3>healthy diet, because you know, you need supplements supplement a

760
00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:16.400
<v Speaker 3>healthy diet. They don't supplement to McDonald's diet. Right, So

761
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:19.639
<v Speaker 3>if you're eating a healthy diet but you're still your

762
00:49:19.920 --> 00:49:22.639
<v Speaker 3>gut's not functioning, you're still not going to utilize all

763
00:49:22.679 --> 00:49:24.880
<v Speaker 3>that stuff. And so it's going to store it and

764
00:49:24.920 --> 00:49:27.000
<v Speaker 3>it's going to start it till future, hoping that in

765
00:49:27.079 --> 00:49:29.800
<v Speaker 3>future be able to utilize it. And this is where

766
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:33.239
<v Speaker 3>the weight gaing starts to happen. And then again with

767
00:49:33.320 --> 00:49:35.920
<v Speaker 3>the liver being congested, you can't move stuff out of

768
00:49:35.960 --> 00:49:39.400
<v Speaker 3>the body. Your toxins aren't being removed either, and the

769
00:49:39.440 --> 00:49:42.159
<v Speaker 3>body has to deal with all the toxins and in fat.

770
00:49:42.280 --> 00:49:46.599
<v Speaker 3>In fact, fat actually stores much much toxins. That's why

771
00:49:46.679 --> 00:49:49.360
<v Speaker 3>when people do cleanses they tend to get headaches and

772
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.480
<v Speaker 3>skin issues and all that sort of stuff because a

773
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:54.880
<v Speaker 3>lot of the toxins are being released from the fat cells.

774
00:49:55.800 --> 00:49:58.519
<v Speaker 3>So it's quite a Again, it's all connected to the

775
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:02.639
<v Speaker 3>beginning one to the ending of the subject. But we

776
00:50:02.760 --> 00:50:04.519
<v Speaker 3>touched on it, if you don't mind me going off

777
00:50:04.559 --> 00:50:08.559
<v Speaker 3>topic just a minute here, we touched on inflammation and

778
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.079
<v Speaker 3>I had a client coming and said I have a

779
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:12.960
<v Speaker 3>sore wrist, And I said, is there anything else, and

780
00:50:13.000 --> 00:50:15.119
<v Speaker 3>she said, on my shoulders. Now you mentioned it, I've

781
00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:17.639
<v Speaker 3>got tennis albow. My shoulder is sore, my knees are sore,

782
00:50:17.639 --> 00:50:20.559
<v Speaker 3>and my hips are sore. And instead of doing the

783
00:50:20.559 --> 00:50:24.360
<v Speaker 3>classic which we give her Kurkuman, which is antium anti inflammatory,

784
00:50:24.880 --> 00:50:27.719
<v Speaker 3>I actually put her in a cut protocol and in

785
00:50:27.760 --> 00:50:30.360
<v Speaker 3>one month all these pains had gone away because it

786
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:33.360
<v Speaker 3>was inflammation caused by leaky gut. So when we talk

787
00:50:33.400 --> 00:50:38.480
<v Speaker 3>about inflammation, it's not just bulking up, it's not just

788
00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:43.320
<v Speaker 3>being inflamed. It can actually cause physical problems. And this

789
00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:45.880
<v Speaker 3>is what she was actually receiving with these physical problems

790
00:50:45.920 --> 00:50:48.559
<v Speaker 3>in the joints. But it wasn't a joint problem. It

791
00:50:48.639 --> 00:50:53.280
<v Speaker 3>was a gut problem. So there's more to this than

792
00:50:53.440 --> 00:50:56.679
<v Speaker 3>just oh it causes inflammation, which causes high cortisol. It

793
00:50:56.719 --> 00:50:59.719
<v Speaker 3>actually can cause problems in the body.

794
00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Right, Thank you Bruce for that and everyone in the

795
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:08.039
<v Speaker 2>context of menopause menopause, as we get older or younger

796
00:51:08.159 --> 00:51:09.800
<v Speaker 2>as I like to call it, so for those of

797
00:51:09.880 --> 00:51:16.519
<v Speaker 2>us forty and over all, these inflammatory responses stack up

798
00:51:16.559 --> 00:51:19.320
<v Speaker 2>and that's why is that why we get more pains

799
00:51:19.360 --> 00:51:22.679
<v Speaker 2>and aches as we get older, because now we had

800
00:51:23.239 --> 00:51:26.519
<v Speaker 2>a god issue, possibly for a long time. Bruce, I

801
00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:29.519
<v Speaker 2>just want you to touch on this quickly for the

802
00:51:29.559 --> 00:51:33.320
<v Speaker 2>younger audience because I actually have a lot of people

803
00:51:33.599 --> 00:51:37.119
<v Speaker 2>who want to walk with wisdom in their youth, and

804
00:51:37.280 --> 00:51:41.840
<v Speaker 2>I encourage that. I encourage the perry stage of everything,

805
00:51:41.880 --> 00:51:45.239
<v Speaker 2>which means before we get there, what could we do

806
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:50.519
<v Speaker 2>to make when you get there easier? So you talk

807
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:56.880
<v Speaker 2>about pain, you talk about inflammation. What what is it

808
00:51:57.000 --> 00:52:02.320
<v Speaker 2>that the younger audience could do. Potentially, let's just give

809
00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:07.159
<v Speaker 2>one general diet tip that they could do to help

810
00:52:07.679 --> 00:52:12.559
<v Speaker 2>with leaky gut, prevention of leaky gout, something along those lines.

811
00:52:13.039 --> 00:52:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Is it, for instance, doing more alo. We've heard about alo.

812
00:52:16.840 --> 00:52:20.400
<v Speaker 2>Is it like adding alo to a good diet? And

813
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:23.199
<v Speaker 2>you talked about diet being foundational, So if we had

814
00:52:23.199 --> 00:52:25.679
<v Speaker 2>a good diet, is it adding alo? And that's for

815
00:52:25.840 --> 00:52:28.480
<v Speaker 2>us to forty and over. But if you're trying to

816
00:52:28.559 --> 00:52:32.280
<v Speaker 2>kind of prevent that inflammatory pain, like Bruce gave us

817
00:52:32.320 --> 00:52:37.159
<v Speaker 2>the example, what could we do for a healthy gut

818
00:52:37.280 --> 00:52:40.719
<v Speaker 2>dietarity just one thing? Because you're coming back, we need

819
00:52:40.719 --> 00:52:41.400
<v Speaker 2>to go deeper.

820
00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:45.199
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, most people are gonna hate me for this, so

821
00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:47.440
<v Speaker 3>forgive me. But if you want to do one thing

822
00:52:47.480 --> 00:52:50.480
<v Speaker 3>to really help moving into metapause to make it easier,

823
00:52:50.679 --> 00:52:55.440
<v Speaker 3>give up alcohol. All calls art on the liver, and

824
00:52:55.599 --> 00:52:58.000
<v Speaker 3>the liver is where all the hormones are being moved

825
00:52:58.039 --> 00:53:01.719
<v Speaker 3>out of so if they congested, it causes much more

826
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:05.800
<v Speaker 3>difficult with menopause as well as it disrupts a microbiome

827
00:53:05.840 --> 00:53:08.320
<v Speaker 3>and the gut and causes leaky gut, so it causes

828
00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:11.599
<v Speaker 3>all that inflammation we've been talking about. That would be

829
00:53:11.880 --> 00:53:14.679
<v Speaker 3>not necessarily give it up, cut it way back, and

830
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:18.320
<v Speaker 3>I actually can see the difference in a lot of

831
00:53:18.320 --> 00:53:22.639
<v Speaker 3>my clients, the ones who really enjoy wine and the

832
00:53:22.679 --> 00:53:25.119
<v Speaker 3>ones who have wine once in a while. The metopause

833
00:53:25.159 --> 00:53:27.480
<v Speaker 3>is much easier for the ones to enjoy why once

834
00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:31.960
<v Speaker 3>in a while as opposed to drink wine regularly. So

835
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:35.760
<v Speaker 3>that would be one easy tip just to make life

836
00:53:35.920 --> 00:53:38.960
<v Speaker 3>life easier on you as you're going into the menopause stage.

837
00:53:39.559 --> 00:53:42.239
<v Speaker 3>But really, liver and gut, those are the two big ones.

838
00:53:42.320 --> 00:53:45.519
<v Speaker 3>Take care of those and metopause will be easier and

839
00:53:45.599 --> 00:53:49.039
<v Speaker 3>stress so liver, gut and stress.

840
00:53:48.719 --> 00:53:53.159
<v Speaker 2>Of course, of course, Bruce, that was really phenomenal. Thank

841
00:53:53.199 --> 00:53:59.840
<v Speaker 2>you so much for those tips. So everyone, this again

842
00:54:00.119 --> 00:54:03.440
<v Speaker 2>is in the context of menopause. Menopause, we started with

843
00:54:03.519 --> 00:54:06.920
<v Speaker 2>the big picture, but the big picture is really starting foundationally.

844
00:54:07.519 --> 00:54:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Bruce was here today with us to really let us

845
00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:14.280
<v Speaker 2>know that we have to start with the gut. And

846
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:17.920
<v Speaker 2>with the gut he built, he stacked the different things

847
00:54:17.960 --> 00:54:23.360
<v Speaker 2>we needed to do. We all get there. It's a

848
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.360
<v Speaker 2>gift to get there and what we want to do,

849
00:54:26.440 --> 00:54:29.079
<v Speaker 2>which is why I have Bruce here to help us

850
00:54:29.519 --> 00:54:34.199
<v Speaker 2>to do it with wisdom. Now, everyone remember to share

851
00:54:34.239 --> 00:54:38.079
<v Speaker 2>the link. Bruce had such incredible information. We're not going

852
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:41.480
<v Speaker 2>away just yet, but I just wanted to kind of

853
00:54:41.480 --> 00:54:44.440
<v Speaker 2>wrap up everything that he said in this last segment

854
00:54:44.559 --> 00:54:47.480
<v Speaker 2>because Bruce, just to let you know to and the

855
00:54:47.599 --> 00:54:52.920
<v Speaker 2>audience is commenting, you really have a lot of knowledge,

856
00:54:53.119 --> 00:54:57.599
<v Speaker 2>and you do delineate it overall. Start big, but it's

857
00:54:57.639 --> 00:55:00.000
<v Speaker 2>such a big topic, isn't it. It's a big time.

858
00:55:00.320 --> 00:55:02.960
<v Speaker 2>So you start big and you actually put it in

859
00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:06.119
<v Speaker 2>bite sized pieces so that we can really understand it.

860
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:09.639
<v Speaker 2>So everyone, again, I'm just going to wrap up a

861
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:17.079
<v Speaker 2>little bit and then we will come back. So Bruce digestion,

862
00:55:18.159 --> 00:55:22.840
<v Speaker 2>leaky gut, giving up alcohol or cutting way back to

863
00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:28.199
<v Speaker 2>make it easier on that gut and digestion and that

864
00:55:28.239 --> 00:55:31.480
<v Speaker 2>will just help the body ease those symptoms because it

865
00:55:31.519 --> 00:55:34.760
<v Speaker 2>will take the stress of the liver which breaks down

866
00:55:35.119 --> 00:55:39.519
<v Speaker 2>or hormones and or food and all those menopausal symptoms.

867
00:55:39.519 --> 00:55:42.920
<v Speaker 2>When I introduce the show today, everyone menopause, menopause, and

868
00:55:42.960 --> 00:55:45.599
<v Speaker 2>the reason why we say menopause is because the men

869
00:55:45.719 --> 00:55:48.400
<v Speaker 2>go through it. To what I heard, and we'll talk

870
00:55:48.440 --> 00:55:51.280
<v Speaker 2>about this again, Bruce. What I heard is that men

871
00:55:51.400 --> 00:55:57.199
<v Speaker 2>go through the actual manopause stage with that decrease in testosterone.

872
00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:00.440
<v Speaker 2>We always look at tests maybe about a decade after

873
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:02.840
<v Speaker 2>women and it's a range of years, so we'll talk

874
00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:05.119
<v Speaker 2>about that as well. Everyone, We're going to do a

875
00:56:05.199 --> 00:56:09.800
<v Speaker 2>short break for sponsors. Thank you so much for joining us.

876
00:56:09.920 --> 00:56:14.199
<v Speaker 2>Don't go away, come back right after this short break.

877
00:56:14.320 --> 00:57:38.400
<v Speaker 2>Thank you, Thank you everyone for joining us today. Genevieve Wisdom,

878
00:57:38.679 --> 00:57:42.760
<v Speaker 2>host of Walk with Wisdom. Bruce Pollock has been our

879
00:57:42.880 --> 00:57:49.599
<v Speaker 2>guest today and Bruce has given us incredible information about menopause,

880
00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:53.719
<v Speaker 2>menopause in the context of gut health. Bruce, we're gonna

881
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:57.280
<v Speaker 2>have to have you back. It's so much information and

882
00:57:57.360 --> 00:58:01.400
<v Speaker 2>we really want our valued listen listeners to take notes,

883
00:58:02.280 --> 00:58:04.920
<v Speaker 2>do a check as to where they are and come

884
00:58:05.000 --> 00:58:11.639
<v Speaker 2>back to us next week next Friday for more results. Bruce,

885
00:58:11.719 --> 00:58:14.760
<v Speaker 2>can you just give us like a thirty second wrap

886
00:58:14.880 --> 00:58:19.360
<v Speaker 2>up again as to how the gut is foundational to

887
00:58:19.760 --> 00:58:21.760
<v Speaker 2>menopause menopause.

888
00:58:21.880 --> 00:58:29.039
<v Speaker 3>Specifically, healthy gut bounces the body. If the guts not balance,

889
00:58:29.119 --> 00:58:32.159
<v Speaker 3>the body won't be balanced. It's just that simple. And

890
00:58:33.280 --> 00:58:37.360
<v Speaker 3>we've been through at the leaky gut, the information, the cortisol, progesterone,

891
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.800
<v Speaker 3>the neurotransmitters. You need a healthy gut. If you don't

892
00:58:40.840 --> 00:58:43.320
<v Speaker 3>have healthy gut, you don't have a healthy body. It

893
00:58:43.360 --> 00:58:46.280
<v Speaker 3>doesn't matter how much you exercise, it doesn't matter how

894
00:58:46.320 --> 00:58:49.679
<v Speaker 3>much you drink water. It just without a healthy gut,

895
00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:52.800
<v Speaker 3>you won't be healthy. It's just that simple. It controls,

896
00:58:53.159 --> 00:58:55.559
<v Speaker 3>it controls and is part of every option of the body.

897
00:58:57.280 --> 00:59:00.639
<v Speaker 2>Fantastic, Bruce, Thank you so much everyone. What I want

898
00:59:00.639 --> 00:59:04.480
<v Speaker 2>to bring on this show and my valuable guests like Bruce,

899
00:59:05.159 --> 00:59:08.360
<v Speaker 2>is you may have heard these terms. Everybody's talking about it.

900
00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:10.639
<v Speaker 2>A lot of us are going through it, a lot

901
00:59:10.679 --> 00:59:14.320
<v Speaker 2>of us are preparing to go through it, but you

902
00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:16.480
<v Speaker 2>may not have heard it this way. And what we

903
00:59:16.519 --> 00:59:19.000
<v Speaker 2>want to do is have results fast, and we want

904
00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.320
<v Speaker 2>to have results lasting. So when Bruce came to me,

905
00:59:23.679 --> 00:59:27.239
<v Speaker 2>I've known him again many for many years, and he

906
00:59:27.320 --> 00:59:31.679
<v Speaker 2>came to me with the gut connection to menopause menopause,

907
00:59:31.760 --> 00:59:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I thought, that's it. We have to start there. It's foundational.

908
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:38.440
<v Speaker 2>That's Walk with Wisdom. You may have heard the terms,

909
00:59:38.679 --> 00:59:40.840
