Transcript

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Okay, so you guys, I'm super excited. So Shoshana and I met back in November when I started getting back out into networking and after uh a two and a half year hiatus, after we were rebuilding everything, and we just connected. And I love this woman's energy. I love what she stands for. Um, and we just hit it off. And we know a lot of the same people around our holistic functional community here in the low country area of Charleston, South Carolina. But this woman is a pillar, she is a functional nutritionist, she's also a lifestyle counselor, so she's got all of this wonderful stuff wrapped up. And I've I've seen her speak a couple of times. She's um really going after the wellness um uh corporate type of speaking events because she fits really well into there, and everybody's trying to be healthier. And so she sent out an email the other day, and she was talking about you know how to manage, not manage, okay. Let me put this to you in a different light about how your diet and lifestyle, what you're eating, what you're doing on a daily basis, and what's going on up here in your head really contributes to your overall health and wellness. And so she was talking about GLP1 and how to basically, I'm not gonna steal her thunder. I'm just gonna I'm gonna let her start off by explaining who she is, you know, her wonderful contribution. She has been a guest on the podcast before. We're doing a little bit different. It's gonna be a live today, and then we're gonna put it on our podcast channel. But um, she has a wealth of information. So without further ado, Shoshana, if you wouldn't mind uh just telling us a little bit about your background, where you came from, who you are, and where you're going.

SPEAKER_01 1:51

Okay, how much time do I have? As much as you want. Well, good afternoon, good Sunday afternoon, everybody. I'm super excited to be here with Tony because she is so solid in her beliefs of holistic health and care. And obviously, we know about Fermaglow, and I'm a user, and um, I love the product. I love knowing about the product, I love knowing that what I'm putting on my hair is um in my scalp, is actually definitely not going to harm me. As a matter of fact, it's gonna help me. And when you think about fermented foods and fermented products, it fits right in there. So it's like a no-brainer, why not? And um, and I'm having really good success with it. I'm actually having some new hair growth from it. However, that's my little um plug for for Tony and Fermaglow. And I am a functional nutrition and lifestyle counselor, also trained in what's known as an advanced belief clearing practitioner, and these are subconscious strategies. So, what I've come to learn over the course, well, I'll tell you a little backstory. This will help you a lot. For over 40 years, I was a binge eater, and about 13 years ago, I had a shift, and it wasn't because of a diet program or over eaters anonymous, and yes, I did that. Um, it wasn't from anything like that, it was learning how to replace emotions and beliefs about myself that weren't serving me anymore. I replaced them, and then I got trained in how to do this for other people. And from 13 years ago to today, I am not a binge eater. I don't want to be a binge eater, and as a matter of fact, I'm working on another talk, and and I've got some new information to share too, so there's a lot going on in my head today, but um, I'm working on another talk uh where I really want to take everybody through an experience of seeing yourself the way you really want to be, and choosing to be like that. Now, the new information that I'm gonna be working on a little bit today, Tony, um, and and we'll talk about GLP1 as much as you want. You just tell me where you want me to go. But the new information to me, um, I I knew about epigenetics. Happy to talk about it, love it, it's huge. Um, along with plasticity. Those two things are like my my standbys. But I was listening to a woman today, somebody sent me it, it was a Mel talk, and she was interviewing an Italian woman who's you know got all the degrees and everything else, and she has created something called epinutrition.

SPEAKER_00 4:52

Oh, oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:55

So I need to forward you pardon, I need to forward you some information because her name is uh, or I could look it up. We'll we'll get there when we get there. But it what she said today was so cool. She said, um, and I listened to part of it, and then I just looked her up and started, you know, going down the rabbit hole. So epigenetics is essentially the science that even though we are here in our DNA with some things from our heritage, different types of ailments that could potentially show up in our genetic expression, epigenetics says, depending on your lifestyle and your nutrition and other factors, you can actually turn on or off that gene expression. And this is true and it's science and it's real. So she goes it a step further and she said, if you've been struggling with weight, okay, even if it's a pound or two, it doesn't matter how much weight, either up or down, whatever that is, hard to gain weight, hard to lose weight. It's because your genetic expression got comfortable with the extra weight, and it's going to do everything it can to make sure that you keep that weight on. And it takes six months to work at anything and stabilize that before your gene expression will change and say, Okay, now I get it, now I see. And she talks about a lot of habits and things that allows us to so our genetic expression is essentially written in pencil, not in ink. And we can erase parts and rewrite with pencil because we have to maintain what we've doing, what we've been doing. And so I'm super excited to hear this. And and I'm thinking, Tony, if I may say this, um, I'm thinking of starting uh a group of people who want to do six months of practicing their best life to rewrite their genetic expression and have that be the new them.

SPEAKER_00 7:20

So I'm thinking about that. So okay, so all of my education, all of the classes, certifications, and everything that I have taken is that uh what do they do they say I I mean did you go down to the the the the QA of why it takes six months?

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Well, in terms of really changing behavior and habits, people this is from my past education, um, and you know, those certifications and those things, but people think it takes 21 days. It does not. Here's here's what I believe. It takes about three weeks to learn something new. I mean, and just even think about a new job. I think this is the greatest way to talk about this. A new job you go in, it takes almost six months to get comfortable. And then it takes another six months to get good at it and to be able to make some real change. So, what I've been learning along the way is it really does take nine months to a year to make a significant change. It doesn't mean you can't learn something and practice it. And this is why I've always worked with people a minimum of three months, but I changed it recently to six months because and I didn't change the price, I just changed the duration. Yep, because I want people to have that long-lasting, don't ever repeat this bullshit again, right? Because it's not easy to change our habits, it's not easy to change how we do things, and so let's focus on it, get really good at it, practice it, let our genetic expression be rewritten, and then continue it.

SPEAKER_00 9:13

No, I I love that, and you know, uh everybody says 20, you know, 21 days to change a habit. That's not true, it actually takes 90 days, and then you're talking another 90 days, which is that six-month um, you know, window that you're talking about in order to really see real change, yeah. And and the problem that I have one, you you mentioned it, people don't want to do the work, they want they want it to happen overnight, and that is that that is not realistic. You're talking about people who have had 30 years, 20, maybe, maybe even 10, 10, 20, 30 years of really shitty behavior, how they've treated their body, how they've treated their mind, and they want to fix it overnight. It doesn't work like that, and they don't want to do the work. This is the biggest problem that I have with you know a lot of this right now. Yeah, I that is the number one problem, right? It's like people when when they're looking at you know, uh a multiple stream of income or a business opportunity, they're like, Well, I'm gonna make all this money in 30 days. That's not true. You've got to rewire your brain for all of that, you've got to rewire it for your daily lifestyle habits, your eating habits, your um your financial um, you know, understanding and reasoning. And most people aren't willing to do the work. And that's the problem that I have with these easy fixes.

SPEAKER_01 10:40

They're not there's no such thing as an easy fix, or everybody would be doing it.

SPEAKER_00 10:45

Well, but that's the whole problem with the the GLP one shots that you know that that I went down and I got roasted on on my post that I put out there because now they're uncovering, and this is not me, this is Dr. Brian Artis, and he is one of the huge whistleblowers out there, you know, that they're talking about all of these ingredients that are in it that they're not telling you that's in it because they don't have to. But my my whole thing with the edge. Here's the the part I love that you're talking about the behavior part of it because that's your that's your expertise. My expertise is in dissecting everything that they're telling you on the front facing part of it, just like they did with the Rona shots, right? Which was all bullshit. And I said I can see right through it, it's a pattern, and they have been doing this to the the the public since the 1940s when they started spraying people with DDT. It's the same thing, it's the same pattern over and over and over again. And here we are seven years later, and they're just calling it something else, trying to make you a lifelong big pharma customer.

SPEAKER_01 12:00

Anyways, no, I think this is all a great segue into this whole GLP1 discussion because you know, I here's the thing for me personally, I'm not a fan of synthetics. So, whether it's statins, GLP1, I don't care what the medication is. I actually ended up getting endometrial cancer from a bone health pill that I knew I shouldn't have taken. My my gut told me not to take this pill. I was so busy in my life, I said, I'll just take the pill, right? Six months later, luckily I didn't take it very long because I already got the cancer. Sadly, I had to have the whole thing taken out, the whole female parts. Um, you know, what do they call it? A total laparoscopic hysterectomy. Um, so I was luckily old enough that did I need the parts? No, I didn't need them, but those hormones now have to come from other places. And so my body is now um what's the word I'm saying? It's compromised. And and I could have prevented that because then I went on and I'm just sort of stating. So these were synthetic products. So the synthetics, what they do, you put them in your body and you get used to taking them, and then your body, same thing with melatonin. I'm so against taking melatonin. I'd rather see somebody taking a little bit of a magnesium supplement in the evening, which is going to help their brain and help their body and not replace hormones that their body knows how to do. And we have to learn how to improve the way our body produces the hormones. And this the hormones even being insulin and um and GLP1. All of these hormones have a function. We need to learn how to light them up and get them working better for us. And um kind of went off on a tangent there, but that's the bottom line. So when we do synthetics, it turns off our natural ability. It says, Oh, I don't need to produce that today because she was gonna take a pill, or she's gonna take a shot, or she's I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get it. That's all the body knows. I'm gonna get it. I don't need to work at this. The body will take shortcuts just like people want to take shortcuts if you let it. And and the trick is to not let it take the shortcuts and to learn how do I improve that? What's what's missing? How can I how can I do this differently? And it's a process. And now we are back to your comment about the quick fixes. It's not a quick fix. Oh, I know I was gonna say, so after the cancer and all that garbage, um, and the surgery, I uh I got back to working out again, got back, I reduced my caffeine intake, um, worked out more, and lo and behold, my bone health went from osteoporotic to osteopenic, which is normal for my stage in the game.

SPEAKER_00 15:02

But I now I'm gonna I'm gonna back this up for a second, but is it normal? I don't think I I don't necessarily think it is. I think what has happened is that with all of the assaults in our environment, is that you know, they've created like I I just did another huge uh was listening to Sean Ryan and he had on an Alzheimer's expert talking about you know everything that they have done to to you know Parkinson's dementia, Alzheimer's, and all of the things that they have done to the environment to make this happen. And we know that cancer is 100% environmentally related, but it also has to do with mindset too, to get over that hump.

SPEAKER_01 15:44

I don't yeah, I don't want to leave that out because it's really important. No, but I want to say um there's this really cool doctor I met, and she's saying that cancer is caused by toxins, yeah, toxins, but um, like hold on, I gotta think of the word more like bugs, you know, parasites, parasites, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_00 16:11

I actually have been teaching on this for 15 years, so how it's directly related to you know parasites, and the one whole thing when when they did the whole uh you know ivermectin uh uh fenben and all of that stuff back in the day, you guys, we deworm our our animals for a reason. Parasites live within our and and some are good and some are bad, but the reason why we get sick is because of the toxin and parasitical overload. So, yeah, I'm right there with you on this.

SPEAKER_01 16:43

It's it's just all so interesting. So I've learned from her and used certain herbs for certain purposes, and she's already 80, and you know, I don't know how much longer she'll be around. She's writing a book with her findings, and she's on Substack. Her name is Dr. Nikki Nikki Lang, L A N G. You know her? I've heard of her. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 17:09

It travels in small circles because way back in the day when I first started going down this path, uh, back in the 90s, I actually went to my very first holistic um presentation. Dr. Mercola, who was very popular in Chicago, you know who he is, right? He was hosting it and had Dr. Hulda Clark, and she was she was the one that discovered um, you know, uh uh, you know, health and benefits through the Rife machine, right? She was one of the original ones, sound therapy, Hertz therapy, all of the things. Okay, but not only that, you know, and and and again, I know that I I want to get to the topic on GLP one, but we've got to create the foundation of why you know big pharma and big pharma has never cured anything. Not one disease, not one thing ever. Our actual immune systems were designed to be perfect. It's when we introduced back in the early 1900s when the Rockefellers found that they could, you know, make all of these drugs from oil, right? And keep people sick, fat, dumb, and stupid, and keep them on the cyclical uh prescriptions every single month. I the last time I took a prescription, I was 23 because I didn't know any better. I'm 50, gonna be 57. I do not take Tylenol, I do not take Advil, I don't take any of that stuff. It's poison, all of it is.

SPEAKER_01 18:37

I mostly don't, unless there's something I so I don't agree with everything. I'm not sure though, because I don't study it. I just try to stay away from it. Sure. I just try to stay away from anything that's not holistic and natural.

SPEAKER_00 18:52

Absolutely, absolutely 100%. So, anyways, let's let's talk about the GLP one, let's talk about behavioral eating um and eating disorders. Um, and that's where your expertise comes in. I had made a small PowerPoint presentation, but this conversation is too good to stray. So um I just want you to, you know, explain, and I'll talk about the the side effects and what's going on with GLP one and the things that they don't talk to you about. Now, when I got a lot of flack for this, I am I'm I am one to listen, these are the facts. I don't sugarcoat anything and I don't present anything that is a hypothesis. This has been already true and proven. The only thing that I will say is that when Dr. Brian Artist came out three weeks ago saying that there are things in these GLP1 shots that they're not telling you that are in there because they don't have to label everything on the ingredient sheet, just like they've done in the past. You guys need to be very aware of this, but there is documentation which I have right here next to me of what is going on, you know, that is happening behind the scenes. It's just like Botox, it's no different. So, anyways, show I want you to talk about, I really want you to talk about, you know, how to change the perception of and and one, we've got to be really clear and cognizant on what we're putting in our bodies, eating from our local farms, going to the farmers markets, making sure that you're not eating eating anything with glyphosphate or herbicides and pesticides. But I want to talk, I want you to talk about the behavioral component of all of this and the weight loss, because now what I think this has done, it's really replaced uh gastric bypass and also sleeve surgery, but you're also going to be a lifetime consumer.

SPEAKER_01 20:50

Well, the bigger problem, I mean, there are so many problems with the injections, and one of them is that they shred up your bones, and that's pretty damn bad. Um, so what here's here's some good news. Um, some really good GLP1 promoters in your body are bitter foods. So I put radish in my salads all the time. Um now there's a lettuce that I always call escarol, and it's not, it's arugula. So I can never get that word out. I love arugula. Arugula is one of those great foods that helps promote your GLP1. And here's the other thing. So we talked a little bit earlier. Well, let me go into the behavior, but I just wanted to throw that out there. So think about bitter foods, they're really good for your natural GLP1 production.

SPEAKER_00 21:45

Well, the same with fermentation for fermented foods. Fermented foods, yeah, sauerkraut, all that kind of stuff, pickles, you guys. And again, you have to don't go overboard on drinking, you know, eating or or drinking pickle juice, but it is really good for you. Okay. In the same respect. So I'm sorry, Show, go ahead.

SPEAKER_01 22:03

No, we're gonna we're having a conversation today. So this is good. Um, yeah, this is how this is what I expected we were gonna do is bounce around because we get excited. Yeah, good stuff. This is this is what brings life to the living. So if you want to be one of the living who is filled with life and understanding and knowledge and awake and aware, this is where you need to be. This is what you need to know. And and I do love now that in the grocery stores, and then I'll go into the behavior, but I was just thinking, I love now that in the grocery stores there's so many more organic options. So, you know, I would love to have like a um an agreement with one of the farms, but I don't really like all the things that they bring over, and I don't really feel like I'm gonna use some of the batches of it, even though I love the whole concept. A CS, what is it called? A CSA? Yeah, CSA. Yep. Um, so I love the concept. I've thought about it for you know, probably 30, 40 years. I just I'm not comfortable with it. And I think the big thing is I tell people, I'm like, make a list of foods you love that are not ultra processed. And I can talk about ultra-processed foods, and I would love to, so I'll go there. But uh, make a list of foods that you really do love, like what are the proteins that you really do love? And what are the fruits and vegetables that you really do love? And what are high fiber grains? And if anybody asks questions, I'm happy to go deeper. But what are those grains that you really do love? Because the fact is that if we fill ourselves with protein and then you know, sprinkle the other colorful vegetables and the high fiber grains in there, we're not gonna be hungry, and we're not gonna be feeding the bugs in our body that crave the sugar. Now, it's a process, right? You got to get used to it. You have to, because let's talk about Tony and I love talking about the amygdala in the brain. The amygdala in your brain is this little, it's like two little two little almond-shaped pieces together. And what it does, it keeps you safe. It remembers all your past traumas, it remembers all your emotions, and it remembers all your habits and behaviors, and it it helps your body keep all the habits and behaviors that, oh my god, with your nervous system and everything, it goes deep, but it keeps it all functioning, kind of like when you go drive somewhere that you normally go to and you arrive and you're like, Well, how did I get there? Because you were thinking of something else, because you could. You were on autopilot, and and then it leaves your conscious brain open to you know, be able to make quick decisions, answer the phone call, do those kinds of things that come sporadically. Anyway, the amygdala in your brain makes it very difficult to change the habits, but now that you know that, you can say, huh, I know why a piece of me wants to go back. Like this morning, I went back to this green tea and dandelion beverage. I just needed a break from the routine of the coffee beverage that I drink. Sometimes it's really good, just like to change the way you go someplace. It's really good to change it up for your body, for your mind, for so many reasons. Don't get too comfortable with anything. Be detached. Now that's a big this is a big conversation, but try to be detached from like enjoy what you enjoy. And let me go back to where I was. Oh my gosh. We were making a list of foods that we love, and and so the the reason why I went on to the amygdala was because we're pulled, we're pulled by our past patterns and habits to go in that other direction. But you have to say, I know why that's happening. There's my body is programmed to keep me safe, and it thinks it's keeping me safe, but it's not. I don't want that pattern anymore. And I love the analogy of taking a walk on a trail. And Tony, I know you've heard this, but I'll share it again because it'll help people. When you walk on a trail, it's a groomed trail. If you want to create a new trail, you need to start walking on that more and inviting people to walk with you to get it packed down. And what happens to the old trail? It fills in with grass, with sticks, with whatever it's not groomed, it's not easy to get to anymore. So now we have the new trail. The same thing, like you know, today, me drinking this drink instead of my regular. I just needed to change it up. I was getting too comfortable, and it's not healthy for me to do that. We are all different, so I'm not going to tell you what's good for you. I'd have to know you better. But um, but for me, it's really important to change it up. And the detachment is really important because people like Joe Dispenza talk about this with meditating, when you're meditating, and even just you know, imagining yourself in an environment in a perfect life and a perfect body and all that. You can't do it when you're attached to all your old ways and you're holding them tight. You must be able to see outside of that and imagine possibilities that were never possible before, and we know they happen because some really bizarre and exciting things have come up in the universe with people have created, including electricity. Um so so coming back to behaviors, which I think is where we were going. Um, and I was a binge eater, and so I really do know this, and I really do understand why. You know, even last night, I'm gonna give a personal example. Kenny got pizza. I said, I can have pizza once in a while. I'm not against having certain foods once in a while, but I ate the pizza, and then there was cheesecake in the house because our niece stays with us and she's on a weight gaining thing. So cheesecake is part of her weight gain. And I I found out that Harris Teeter makes their cheesecake fresh every day and they have special cheesecake ovens.

SPEAKER_00 28:45

Because I love I love I don't like desserts, but I do love a good piece of cheesecake from time to time.

SPEAKER_01 28:51

So they do this, okay? And you can, and and and if you don't get them early enough, they're gone for the day. They only make so many. So, anyway, this is part of her diet right now. And I said, now I'm gonna have a little piece of cheesecake. It's Saturday. Saturday's like my day, it's a day where I said, you know what, I've done a great job all week long, most of it, and and I just want to let go and see what the world brings. Well, let me just tell you, I got so sleepy, I really didn't feel good. My I don't do a lot of gluten anymore. My gut didn't feel good, my brain didn't feel good. Um, we were gonna share a high rise last night and get some giggles going with uh some of that drink. And I said to her, I said, I don't think I'm gonna be very much fun because I feel like garbage. And that is what anybody I've ever worked with, that's where they find they find that feeling, like, oh my god, I was numb to this my whole life. Now all of a sudden you learn to not be numb to that. So when if if this type of eating behavior is in your life right now, pay attention to how you feel. Try 48 hours of whole foods. And if you want to go into ultra process, I have a quick thing on it, but I'm gonna give you a break because you might want to um say something.

SPEAKER_00 30:20

No, no, listen, my audience hears me all the time speaking. You are throwing down gold, sister. Keep going.

SPEAKER_01 30:26

Okay, so um, but for 48 hours, really and truly, 48 hours. I mean, if you prep for a colonoscopy, it's about 30 hours. So go 48. Just do whole foods, no ultra-processed foods, and like no table sugar, and just focus on fruits, vegetables, proteins. You can do this, grains, you can have sweet potato, you can have oatmeal, you can have apples and oranges and melons and all the vegetables you want, and any of the meats, fish, chicken that you want. I always say if you can do the wild, um, the wild, the pasture, whatever, all the things, the organics, um, grass-fed, all the whole thing. That's how I eat. Um, but whatever you can do with that, at a minimum, just 48 hours. And then go ahead and try something and see how your body feels. Do your own test. That's what you want to learn. I know you're gonna be craving those foods. 48 hours is not a lot of time, but it is enough time in bone broth. Bone broth is one of the best things for your body. Oh, yeah. You're trying to get more protein in your body, get a couple of containers of organic bone broth and have a cup of that every day, twice a day. It's not gonna hurt you. Um, and and add that to get you know your protein numbers. It's low in calories and it's very high in the protein that you need. And the collagen. And the collagen too. But why take a collagen pill when you can have bone broth and have your all your amino acids and your collagen?

SPEAKER_00 32:09

Yeah, so I actually make my own. So, you know, you were talking about this, and we only shop for our uh meats uh and um our eggs from our regenerative farm that's out here in uhwendah, yeah, Hollandville, Chucktown Acres. So Alex has you know had that farm for seven years. I have been supporting him since he started. He's one of the most listened to podcast episodes I've ever done. I think we're over 100,000 listens on that one. And he's amazing. He he actually teaches other people how to be regenerative, which is super cool. Um, but and Monica, I am wholly I'm watching some of the comments here on the TT, which I have on my phone. I am a firm believer that you know, good, clean, mold-free coffee is is really good for you, but you have to, it's all in moderation, right? It's all in moderation, so you should only have one or two cups a day. For the love of God, stop buying your shit from Starbucks. It is the worst stuff out there. If you're gonna buy, go to your local coffee shop, stop supporting these big conglomerates because they don't give two craps. Most of your local coffee shops will have really good coffee, and a lot of them now, because of the way that the world is that they are you know small grown, um, they're fair trade, they're organic, and they're mold-free, right? Two cups of coffee, 12 ounces a day, that's it. You shouldn't do any more because it can cause some other issues, and especially if you're compromised, you know, where other things are concerned. But it's actually caffeine is actually a really when it's used in the right dosage, is actually really good.

SPEAKER_01 34:01

Yeah, I would just add to that, it's all comes back to the nervous system now. Yes, yes, because that caffeine is you know amping up your nervous system, which is going to affect your insulin response too. So it's all so interconnected, correct, and and we're all different. But here's another thing with that coffee for every cup, you need to have double that amount of water. Very true. It's a diuretic.

SPEAKER_00 34:30

Yep. Same thing with alcohol, absolutely. So here's my other thing is that we're water snobs. We I I've had a kangan for 24 years. I swear by it up and down, that in chiropractic care, it's why we never ever get sick. Um, but um, the one thing that I am going to say do not ever drink bottle out of plastic, uh, out of plastic unless it's an absolute necessity. Try to get it in a glass or even the water in a box is better for you, as long as it's not lined with plastic and it's BPA free. But the best part is that now they have all of these like traveling units you can use. They're very, you know, affordable. Um, it and and my whole thing is that you know, if if you can't get a Kangan, then you can get a Lex up here. It's a gravity water system. Uh, you know, it's in the in the big silver thing, and it runs through again. Water needs to run through and make it a live property when it is chlorinated, when it is filtered, when it's all of these things, it makes the water dead. And so there, therefore, your body can assimilate it, uh, assimilate it, and we're made up of 78% water. So when you can't assimilate it, it's almost like your body goes into you're in constant dehydration. That is a huge thing. And the other thing is you got to have sodium, you have to have potassium, and you have to have magnesium. This is really important because most people, your health ailments, your headaches, your, you know, if you have dry skin, if you have brain fog, it's because you don't have enough electrolytes in your daily regimen. And I am not talking about going out and buying the little packets and stuff like that. Get the liquid potassium, get the magnesium citrate, and then buy the true clean sea salt from Europe. That is what you yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:27

I would just say, you know, you can get a lot of this in your diet. Well, yes, if you eat if you eat a well-balanced diet, you don't need a whole bunch of supplements. No, you don't. I have something called, I forget the something hydrosis. I think and and I have a water filter system, and it was supposed to put the minerals back in. I think it's chlorhydrosis or something. You can look it up, but I was literally sweating lavender, the color of your top. I was sweating in color, and it's a thing. So my body was apparently very sensitive to um maybe those minerals, maybe the way they did it, maybe too many. I don't know. So I would just say and remind everybody that we're all different, yep, and what works for you and what works for me. But the idea is to feel alive and to feel aware and to be cognizant of how does this make me feel, whether it's a relationship, whether it's food, whether it's a you know, a business, whether whatever it is, how does it make you feel? And if it makes you feel good, stick with it. And if it doesn't, work on it because it's probably not good for you.

SPEAKER_00 37:51

Exactly. So the the other the other thing is so Monica had asked what brand of coffee. So I really like the organic coffee company, it's a small family-owned business, and I love what they stand and represent. Um, the other thing is uh insulin resistance. Can can we talk about that for a second, show? Sure. Because insulin resistant is based on the modern American what uh here here's I have never up that has insulin resistance because they actually eat whole foods. So, can you talk about that for a second?

SPEAKER_01 38:32

Well, let's talk about the ultra-processed foods. Oh, yeah. I love this discussion, and it's so funny. It's like I don't want it. Sometimes when we're out and somebody asks me a question, Kenny will say, Are you sure you want to know the answer? Because you can't unknow something and like you and I, we're gonna tell the truth, we're not gonna sugarcoat stuff. Here's the thing about ultra-processed foods: if you haven't heard this, they are engineered to be addictive, okay? They are engineered to increase the hormone ghrelin that makes you hungry and decrease the hormone leptin that helps you feel full. So if this is your normal space, I'm trying to show it in the window here. Um, if this is your normal space of hunger, let's say, and you eat to fill it, when you're eating ultra-processed foods, isn't it easy to eat a whole bag of chips or a quart of ice cream or a pack of cookies or for me a five-pound bag of jelly beans? It is so easy. Now we might get sick from it, we might not feel good, but you can eat them. You can't eat that much protein, like a really good quality protein, because you're gonna feel full. But there's none of that, those good ingredients and um in the ultra-processed foods, and they're engineered to do this so that you are addicted to it and you eat so much of it, and that's why I say 48 hours let go, go whole foods. Now, um, so I just wanted to say that because that is a huge part of why Americans have so many North Americans have so many insulin-related problems, and now we all know that all the mind problems that are called um, what are they, diabetes number three or uh type three diabetes.

SPEAKER_00 40:35

Alzheimer's and dementia are diabetes three, but this is my whole point for all of this is because they have duped people into thinking they need this fucking shot. Sorry, this is this is just this is Tony Live. Yes, yes, yes, always, always. But they've duped the people into thinking that they need this because all of this other stuff that they're feeding themselves, the sugar is hidden in everything, seed oils hidden in every almost every product in a box that you buy. You think that you're buying organic um turkey or ham or chicken or whatever in that package, you read it on the back, and they're like, Oh, well, we've added Simple Truth is is infamous for this, which is the Kroger Harris Teeter brand. They have sugar in their bacon, they have sugar in everything. Not only that, everything is packaged in plastic for the love of God. Okay, please, you guys, if you can buy for and I know it's more expensive, but you're either gonna pay now or you're gonna pay later. And the side effects from the GLP one nausea, vomiting, stomach paralysis, um, you can't poop. Um bone health, bone health, bone health, yes, huge, huge, right? There are in just the last two years alone, 3,000 plus active lawsuits against these companies. They're systematically, and Shoshana, here's how deep I go. They actually created, they took Gila Monster saliva, which is a paralysis saliva, and they took that, they put it in a lab, they synthetically formed it in what's called exudin, and that is what's in these shots. This is why stomach paralysis is one of the side effects. I personally know probably a half a dozen people, and I talked to Danielle about this yesterday. I was sending her messages, and I'm like, How many people are coming through deeper healing that have been injured by this? She's gonna find out for me. My chiropractor, he is on the he is the lead chiropractor on the state board of South Carolina. He is that good. They're all saying, No, don't do it, don't do it. Because you can't get off of it. It's like a statin drug.

SPEAKER_01 43:04

Well, it is, and yeah, and people get addicted and they don't learn the behavior change. But I will say, it seems like now I'm not promoting the injections unless it's life threatening. There's a life-threatening in situation, and you know, you got to weigh your risks and benefits. And if you're in a life-threatening situation and that's the only thing that's gonna help you, well, go do it. I mean, that's how I believe. Um that's what that's why those medicines are there, and and let's just say out because it's true, doctors are not trained in nutrition nutrition. I think they might get eight hours of nutrition in their training, one hour, eight hours, whatever it is. And you hear doctors talk about it all the time. Maybe that'll change. That's part one. Part two is they are trained to treat symptoms, they are not trained to get to root causes. Yep. And that's why there are people. Like me in functional nutrition, and people like Tony with all this education behind her, and so many people out there that you need to connect with in the holistic community if you want to be whole, right? If you want to be well, if you want to live a long, healthy life. You need to learn how to take care of your body. Is it always simple? No, it's not always simple. But there's no, you don't have to rush. You do a little at a time and you learn what works for you. And anything is better than you know the ultra-processed foods and taking synthetic medications when you don't have to have them. But back to the beginning of the chat today, Tony's talking about, you know, uh, people are looking for simple fixes. I can't tell you how many people have approached me because of my knowledge and life experience to see what would it be like to work with me. And then they say, Well, what about the shot? I can get the shot. And, you know, I said, Yeah, you can get the shot. You're still gonna learn, have to learn these behaviors. You know, either that's gonna kill you or you know, something else is gonna happen, but you have to learn. And in in some of the shot companies now are actually saying, I see it written, and must be accompanied by behavior modification, because at some point in time there has to be an exit strategy. At some point in time, if you choose to do it, if you're in that bad of a situation, and I'm talking about somebody that's you know, two, three hundred pounds or severe diabetes, or something crazy that their life is at risk, so they need some kind of support from the medical community. Okay, I get it, but you have to have an exit strategy.

SPEAKER_00 45:53

But you know, that's originally how this was used is for people that were, you know, literally on the deathbed of type 2 diabetes, right? And if they didn't do something to pivot, they were they literally were going to they were gonna die, yeah. Which I understand, but how did they get to that point of type 2 diabetes? It's all behavior, it's all what you eat, it's lifestyle, behavior, yep.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

And even you know, it could be too much coffee, driving the nervous system, yeah, messing with the insulin response. So it's but but when you work with somebody who understands what could be doing things, and you try small steps here and there that work for your life, that's when you figure it out, and it's okay if it takes a little time.

SPEAKER_00 46:47

Absolutely. So, one thing that I wanted to mention, um, which I had thought about earlier, is that when when you're eating food, okay, because we all are wired different, our genetics, our background, where we were raised, what we've been exposed to. When you take food, okay, and you can put it, you can put it in your hands. And if you rock, if you feel yourself rocking backward, you don't eat it. If you if you feel yourself rocking forward, then it's good for you. This is muscle testing at its best. You guys can do this all day long with and that goes with anything. Like if you're looking at to buy jewelry or clothes or what have you, and clothes are some of the most toxic things on there, what they spray the clothes with and what they make them with. But at the end of the day, you have to remember that everything that you are doing is either going in through your skin, it's going into your organs, and so you have to be super cognizant of that. And so here's the thing is that you know, we talked about seed oils. You guys, I don't ever use seed oils, I haven't used seed oils in four, five, six years. I we straight up use butter off of either from the Amish or off the farm. That is all we use to cook with, and um, and even though even when I make my Raigu or I do my bone broth uh show, I use that as a base. Okay. So yeah, you can use but I use ghee a lot.

SPEAKER_01 48:12

I like ghee. Yeah, I found a company online, Banyan Botanicals, and I love their ghee. It smells like to me, it smells like frosting, like I can't even describe it. It smells like some amazing something or another.

SPEAKER_00 48:28

Yes, and or tallow. Tallow has also been, you know, proven to be really, really good, um, you know, for your baseline, if you're sauteing your vegetables or your meat or what have you. And honestly, if it's if it's from a farm, a lot of times, especially because they have built in the fat marbleization, you don't even need it, right? You just drain it and you're good to go. So that is, you know, that's another thing that you have to you you have to look at. And also, too, where you sear it, if you're searing it on the on a grill or an iron cast skillet, right? Is that um, you know, it's always the thing, less is more. Uh, there's another really great guy that I love to follow. His name is Eddie E D D I A B B E W. He's mostly on Instagram, but um, he's been teaching a lot of this stuff for for you know 30, 40 years. He's got a plug into people like show. Um, you know, I'm I'm more of don't do this because, but she's more of an educator of here's what you can do to replace what you're doing right now. But here's the other thing, show, and I want to talk about this. A lot of people do not understand the you know, the seed oils, the sugars hidden and everything, the ultra-processed food, or any processed food for that matter. Do you know that there's only three restaurants I go out and eat at? Um, and I only like you, Saturdays are my cheat day. So I got mellow mushroom yesterday. Yeah, yeah. Uh, because that's one of the three places that I can eat at that doesn't actually make me sick. Wow. Yeah. Because what are your other two? Uh, so Santa Cafe and Savvy. Okay. So Santa Cafe is the little European cafe. It's off of 17 in Mount Pleasant behind the Harris Teeter. And Savvy is the Italian restaurant over in Mount Pleasant, the Mount Pleasant town center. And I don't, I you I haven't even been to Savvy probably in three or four months. That's kind of like a treat, but we cook from home. Yeah, we cook from home.

SPEAKER_01 50:33

Yeah, this this woman that I was talking about, let me let me tell you her name. Um, uh hold on one second. Um, this Italian woman who um she has a download too. Um, I'll tell you that in a second. Let's see. Where'd it go? Um okay, it's in my different email account. Sorry for the pause, but I want to give you her name because um her name is Lucia. Dr. Lucia. Her website is drucia l-u-c-d-r-lu-cia.com. She does the epinutrition, it's right up what you're talking about, and I have something to say. Uh, but her name is uh Lucia Aronica, A-R-O-N-I-C-A. She was on the mail um podcast. That's somebody sent it to me. So thank you. I don't remember who sent it to me, but thank you. So um, and she talks about like this was really interesting. I don't know if I can regurgitate it because I just heard it today. One of the things was, which I knew when you cook tomatoes, they're healthier for you, but when you cook them in olive oil, they're even healthier for you. That you can actually absorb more of the nutrients when they're so you made me think of it. You're talking about Italian food, which is typically way too rich for me. However, I used to love it and and grew up in it. I was numb to what it made me feel like, but now that I'm not numb anymore, and that's a great word, y'all. You know, numb. How numb are you? What are you putting in your body, and how numb are you to how that really is making you feel? You know, people are going to. There's a great book I have, it's back on the shelf by um Dr. Uma Naidu, and it's called This Is Your Brain on Food and Scientific Studies that prove ADHD, ADD, um, what else? Depression, anxiety, all of these things, right, that we carry, that we go to all these shrinks for, most of them are caused by the food that we eat.

SPEAKER_00 52:54

Yep. So they actually just came out with a study that uh I believe it was over 80% of all you know, ADHD, all the LDs, right? All of these, the ADDs, all of them, that when you got them off of all processed foods, their symptoms disappeared in three days.

SPEAKER_01 53:15

And toxins in the home, cleaning products. Oh, yeah, big deal, big deal.

SPEAKER_00 53:20

Yep. So a little fun fact uh back um 25 years ago, uh, when um so one of my children was actually vax injured and um found out, you know, through the process of trying to reverse that, working with my local health food store, which is still there in Lavonia, Michigan. Hello, Zerbos. Yes, Clara and Shannon and the entire family. Um, but you they and so we owned a Gold's gym right outside of Detroit there for a long time. And uh, so you know, I'm I I've been around this for years. And just to go back to if you want to fix brittle bones, go in the gym and start lifting. Yep.

SPEAKER_01 54:05

Um says lift heavy shit. Yes, yes, you want to live a long, healthy life, lift heavy shit.

SPEAKER_00 54:12

Yeah, so you you guys, so I I bench 135, I squat 245, um, I you my bicep curls are 25 pounds per dumbbell. I don't mess, listen, I'm in my I'm in my late 50s now. I'm in my mid 60s, and you look fabulous. You actually look younger than I do, girl. Keep rocking it. Um, but I will tell you, and again, the strength of your quadricep muscles, which are the leg muscle from your knee to your hip, actually actually equals longevity. Okay, that's a proven statistic. Um I will tell you is that um that heavy weight lifting and women are like, but I don't want to get big muscles, you're not because it's levels of testosterone. You might get a little bit shredded, which is not a bad thing, right? You know, put some put some guns up there, guys, right?

SPEAKER_01 55:10

And you might and you might gain a little muscle weight, but it's muscle weight, but you're gonna actually trimmer and be heavier from your muscle weight.

SPEAKER_00 55:19

Yep, yeah. But the other the other thing about it is it is too, is that lifting weights actually overall reduces high cholesterol, it reduces um high high sugar levels, uh, glucose levels, which you know, again, which this GLP one was originally designed to do was you know to alleviate a death sentence for somebody that had type 2 diabetes, right? It's not meant to be used as a long-term weight reduction because of all of the side effects that that are happening. It that's what it was originally meant for. Stop asking for the easy solution. You can go get a gym membership for 29 bucks a month, where most of your spending, if you're doing this, is about 156 to 200, I believe, every single month. Go to the gym. You can work while you're at the gym, you can you can socialize. It's one of my net winning groups, not networking, net winning groups, yeah, that I see where I have made connections. But at the end of the day, stop looking for the the the oh quick fix answer. It's not gonna work. You're gonna hurt, it's just gonna hurt.

SPEAKER_01 56:31

I'm gonna tell you one other thing from this uh Dr. Lucia that I learned. One of her favorite foods to eat for her health is broccoli, and and she's a big proponent of animal protein and all that, and she doesn't say animal versus not, but she she's an eater of animal protein, and she is her she her body is tight, and she is and and she's eating that much of everything that she's supposed to eat every day. But broccoli, what you want to do, and I I don't remember all the names of all the scientific properties, but buy it fresh, chop it, leave the chopping of it and cutting it creates um a property. It starts with an S, an enzyme, and that helps it be absorbable in your body, leave it for 40 minutes, and then cook it or put it in something. And when you chew it, you activate all these things that help that broccoli be so good. It's one of the best foods for your skin and your body. And she did say, like, if you if you buy frozen broccoli, it's parboiled and frozen. So this particular S word is nil and void. But what you can do if you have it, you can cook it and then you can add um a certain amount. Go to her website because you can download this very same information and you can add dry mustard or prepared mustard. So I'm gonna look into making a mustard sauce because we do have some frozen organic broccoli in the freezer, and I'm gonna look into making a mustard sauce for it so that I can enjoy it and get the full benefit.

SPEAKER_00 58:14

Okay, all right. So it's so cool you said that because um I just collected enough of my eggshells and got high hydroxyapetite, and I'm making my own tooth powder. What? Yeah, I'll get I'll get you some.

SPEAKER_01 58:30

Teach me. We eat eggs every day. Anyone who thinks eggs aren't good for you, you're wrong. The choline is one of the most important things you need every single day.

SPEAKER_00 58:40

Yeah, eggs and avocados, baby.

SPEAKER_01 58:43

I uh I do one egg with a third of a cup of egg whites. That's my thing, and that's uh it's still not enough protein.

SPEAKER_00 58:52

No, no. Um, I actually so uh I in my my coffee blend every morning, uh, if I'm not water fasting, um, is is my coffee with my bulletproof creamer, and then I use my ancestral protein uh powder, and it is it's so great. I feel so good. And I just started doing this about six weeks ago, but it is my thing. I wake up every morning, I crave it. It feels I I feel so good. I have more energy in the gym, and um and oh, the other thing too, you guys, what is also really, really good for bone density health is also um uh like self-defense and punching on a bag. I didn't realize this when I started doing it two and a half years ago. I just found out about this because my buddy Paul, um, and if you guys know, I I talk about him a lot on social media. I share this with um our our leadership team, uh Paul Malia. He used to own uh jujitsu um franchises, and then he created a program to teach other people how to, you know, uh create a successful um brick and mortar. But um we were you know, we were talking about all of this, and it it actually is so beneficial for you to get down and you know spar with somebody, do kickboxing, self-defense, jujitsu. It is so good for the body, but I find when I don't punch on the bag, you know, if I miss a couple of days or I'm traveling, I'm really crabby, but it's really good for that energy clearing.

SPEAKER_01 1:00:33

Yeah, I like that.

SPEAKER_00 1:00:36

Yep. Well, show listen, I've kept you long enough this afternoon on this beautiful Sunday, blessed Sunday. I so appreciate the wonderful information that you shared.

So let's keep let's keep sharing and let's keep you know getting out there and showing people how that they can truly change their behavior pattern, their habits, and everything just by making small changes on a daily basis.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:10

The easiest one to get to is showrightcheck.com, sh o ri-c-h-k dot com. There are some giveaways on there, and then there's also a way to connect and contact if you'd like.

SPEAKER_00 1:01:31

Absolutely. So we need to do this more often where we just, you know, we just talk about you know things that are trending and all of the all of the stuff because you know, again, we we have such an incredible collective, you know, uh information to share of what we've learned, best practices, and I just love that you took an hour out of your day-to-day to share with us. And um it was so incredible. Thank you. Thank you, Tony. All right, you guys, we'll we'll see you soon here on Rooted in Wealth. I forgot I even didn't even do the introduction, I just just jumped right in because I was so excited. But you guys look for more uh interviews coming, people in their expertise, people that know best practices and show. Thank you so much. Make sure you guys connect with her, follow her. She's got great information and get on her email list because she does provide incredible information. All right, you guys, take care. Show, thank you. Thank you. Love you, bye-bye. Now I'm stuck because I don't know how to get off of it. It still says live. Yeah, I know, I know. I'll figure it out here. Okay. I had to, I had to, oops. I had to go back and um like turn off some of the stuff. So maybe if I minimize it, it'll show it to me.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:56

Okay, well, I'll I'll leave you to it.
