00:00:00.102 --> 00:00:02.123
Food is the foundation of life.

00:00:02.603 --> 00:00:06.613
And it'll influence everything that happens in your body.

00:00:06.831 --> 00:00:11.428
one of the ones that blew my mind was a guy that came to me on crutches.

00:00:12.128 --> 00:00:14.257
He was scheduled for a sciatica operation.

00:00:14.587 --> 00:00:15.798
He could barely walk.

00:00:16.437 --> 00:00:28.268
By week 7 or so, he came to the call, running in place, because it's a video call, he was running in place, his sciatica released, he cancelled his operation.

00:00:28.509 --> 00:00:35.106
And if somebody had told me, 5 years ago, that sciatica is related to food, I would have said, that's impossible.

00:00:35.203 --> 00:00:37.332
But now I know they're intricately related.

00:00:41.009 --> 00:00:49.689
Welcome to the new age human podcast, where we have inspiring conversations with spiritual entrepreneurs in the areas of mindfulness, longevity, and innovative technology.

00:00:50.009 --> 00:00:58.069
I'm your host, John Astacio, and I'm on a mission to help humanity discover our human potential so we can together create positive change.

00:00:58.539 --> 00:01:03.448
Remember the journey starts within please like, and subscribe wherever you're listening or watching.

00:01:03.779 --> 00:01:05.759
And with that said, let's get to the show.

00:01:05.783 --> 00:01:10.793
Today we're hanging out with Maria Garcia, the author of breaking into the light.

00:01:11.203 --> 00:01:14.462
A journey of self discovery and transformation.

00:01:14.673 --> 00:01:22.722
So she passionately coaches others in resetting their relationship with food to dramatically change their life experience.

00:01:22.992 --> 00:01:24.183
Let's go.

00:01:24.242 --> 00:01:25.813
Maria, welcome to the show.

00:01:25.822 --> 00:01:26.453
How's it going?

00:01:27.153 --> 00:01:27.813
Hey, John.

00:01:27.813 --> 00:01:28.322
Thank you.

00:01:28.472 --> 00:01:29.483
Thanks for having me on.

00:01:30.253 --> 00:01:30.563
Hey.

00:01:30.837 --> 00:01:31.697
No problem.

00:01:32.078 --> 00:01:36.888
We connected at a recent networking events and the vibe was really good.

00:01:37.677 --> 00:01:39.768
So you're totally coming on the show.

00:01:39.808 --> 00:01:40.617
You're here now.

00:01:40.798 --> 00:01:41.908
Let's chat.

00:01:42.638 --> 00:01:52.283
You have a, an interesting story of recovery and, uh, that's going to address a lot of things right now, and I want to start out.

00:01:52.433 --> 00:01:58.962
Today's episode with your recovery because it's your story and probably what made you say, you know what?

00:01:59.003 --> 00:02:02.683
I'm going to be a coach to help people with their relationship with food.

00:02:02.903 --> 00:02:04.112
So there's a lot to unpack there.

00:02:04.112 --> 00:02:06.783
So Where did your journey begin?

00:02:08.052 --> 00:02:22.112
Well, in case you're wondering why my voice is so sexy, it's because when I was 25, I had a stroke, a massive stroke, and I ended up paralyzed from the nose down.

00:02:22.872 --> 00:02:23.973
So I was also a mute.

00:02:25.163 --> 00:02:29.423
It was pretty insane because I ended up being locked in my body for a couple of weeks.

00:02:29.937 --> 00:02:34.837
before anybody realized that I was understanding and hearing everything.

00:02:35.207 --> 00:02:37.258
They thought I was in a coma, so

00:02:38.092 --> 00:02:42.622
whoa, whoa whoa whoa You know what?

00:02:42.763 --> 00:02:52.362
When you said that the first thing that came up came to mind was so you can smell but you can't taste maybe I don't know but so, um You What, uh, continue.

00:02:52.362 --> 00:02:54.502
I mean, do you know what caused it?

00:02:54.522 --> 00:03:02.302
And then how long did it take for you to get like your, your, if anybody's watching, she's, she's right here.

00:03:02.302 --> 00:03:03.462
She's moving around.

00:03:03.513 --> 00:03:06.612
Obviously she's talking and I met her and she was, she's dancing.

00:03:06.612 --> 00:03:07.282
She's full of life.

00:03:07.282 --> 00:03:08.772
So like, what happens?

00:03:09.193 --> 00:03:14.353
What, what, what did you, I guess, do you, if, do you know what started like what the cause was?

00:03:16.328 --> 00:03:19.737
They say the only risk factor was birth control.

00:03:20.443 --> 00:03:20.893
Whoa.

00:03:22.018 --> 00:03:25.677
Yeah, that's one of the risk factors when you read the inserts.

00:03:26.603 --> 00:03:27.383
Oh my God.

00:03:27.413 --> 00:03:27.862
Okay.

00:03:27.932 --> 00:03:36.603
So you unfortunately had an experience with one of those side effects like Probably one of the worst ones now.

00:03:37.133 --> 00:03:38.332
How did you go from?

00:03:38.893 --> 00:03:49.263
Paralyzed from the nose down to I know it was a long journey Maybe you can give us like a brief synopsis of it to now saying hey, you know what?

00:03:49.483 --> 00:03:51.302
You need a better relationship with food

00:03:53.182 --> 00:04:01.002
Okay, like you said, it was very, very slow, and it all began with moving my index finger about.

00:04:01.927 --> 00:04:02.948
Half a centimeter.

00:04:04.548 --> 00:04:04.768
Yeah.

00:04:06.228 --> 00:04:10.647
And then everything started progressing slowly in the hospital.

00:04:10.918 --> 00:04:14.638
I was at the hospital for 43 days.

00:04:15.117 --> 00:04:18.278
And then I went to a rehab hospital for 2 more months.

00:04:19.127 --> 00:04:21.418
So in all it was 4 months.

00:04:22.108 --> 00:04:25.737
And the rehab hospital, I was getting rehab 3 hours a day.

00:04:26.408 --> 00:04:28.307
So that was really helping me.

00:04:28.737 --> 00:04:35.713
But I thought it would have been much quicker, and because I didn't know what a stroke was.

00:04:36.223 --> 00:04:41.223
I mean, when I was at the hospital, they said, Miss, we think you're having a stroke.

00:04:41.983 --> 00:04:44.552
And I was like, what's a stroke?

00:04:45.562 --> 00:04:49.132
I didn't even know what the word meant! I didn't know what the word meant.

00:04:49.572 --> 00:04:58.372
So, I thought that when I went home from the VA hospital, that I would have been totally patched up and fine.

00:04:58.372 --> 00:05:03.502
For I didn't realize that that was not the case at all, right?

00:05:05.392 --> 00:05:07.543
So I ended up going home in a wheelchair.

00:05:09.153 --> 00:05:16.043
And the first thing that happened when I was at home is my wheelchair didn't fit through any of my doorways.

00:05:18.642 --> 00:05:22.333
So that's when I graduated to choosing a walker at home.

00:05:24.702 --> 00:05:27.372
And this is the mother of all learning, right?

00:05:28.533 --> 00:05:34.973
You know what, that reminds me, so you were forced to go from a wheelchair to a walker.

00:05:34.983 --> 00:05:39.072
It was like the universe was like, mm, no, you're gonna walk, you're gonna start walking faster.

00:05:39.702 --> 00:05:41.112
Like, this is gonna take too long.

00:05:41.583 --> 00:05:53.173
You have narrow hallways, narrow doorways, we did this on purpose, and good for you, just be like, you know what, I'm just gonna go into a, what do you call it, the, the walker.

00:05:55.293 --> 00:06:00.273
Yeah, and it was like that, um, progress was really, really slow.

00:06:01.302 --> 00:06:08.963
Um, my family made me do therapy, outside of therapy, basically for hours a day.

00:06:09.413 --> 00:06:15.572
I still remember one time, we have a bike, a recumbent bike, the ones where you sit on like a chair.

00:06:16.353 --> 00:06:19.682
And my mom thought, this is a good idea, let's go pedal.

00:06:20.682 --> 00:06:21.942
She takes me to pedal.

00:06:22.447 --> 00:06:24.187
I put my feet on the pedals.

00:06:24.817 --> 00:06:25.978
They slipped right off.

00:06:26.408 --> 00:06:30.048
I didn't even have the strength to keep my feet on the pedals.

00:06:30.677 --> 00:06:34.278
My mother, she tied my feet to the pedals.

00:06:36.577 --> 00:06:37.507
She was determined.

00:06:37.507 --> 00:06:38.697
She's like, you're gonna walk

00:06:39.408 --> 00:06:46.708
Yeah, so all that to say is basically I had no hope and my family kept the hope alive.

00:06:47.447 --> 00:06:50.747
They're the ones that were pushing for me to do things.

00:06:51.588 --> 00:06:53.468
So that was a huge help.

00:06:54.048 --> 00:06:57.677
My brother would come over daily, work out with me.

00:06:57.677 --> 00:07:01.180
So that was awesome.

00:07:01.180 --> 00:07:02.057
Yeah,

00:07:02.307 --> 00:07:18.557
that's this is very powerful of a message of like how important like your family is and Being around Supportive people whether it's blood or not blood Wow, and and how long did it take for that process to happen?

00:07:19.708 --> 00:07:23.487
For you to like start being like more like independent functionally

00:07:26.348 --> 00:07:32.648
was something like three years, three or four years, before I joined the gym.

00:07:33.017 --> 00:07:36.307
That was the first thing I did by myself.

00:07:37.288 --> 00:07:48.228
I still wasn't walking well, and I was definitely speaking a lot less clear, and More breathy, but that was the first thing I did.

00:07:48.228 --> 00:07:51.497
Yeah,

00:07:51.612 --> 00:07:55.862
at the gym, you're working out, you're probably stumbling all over the place.

00:07:56.673 --> 00:08:00.213
Um, and, um, I mean, good for you, right?

00:08:00.213 --> 00:08:02.062
You're like, I'm gonna go into the gym, right?

00:08:02.642 --> 00:08:11.218
Um, I know I say, Oh, I'm gonna, uh, I, I am, An active fit person lately, not as much.

00:08:11.247 --> 00:08:14.377
I currently I'm a, uh, I just signed up for the gym.

00:08:14.408 --> 00:08:21.958
I'm a month in and I haven't hit the gym yet because I'm so caught up with all this other stuff, but no excuses myself.

00:08:22.668 --> 00:08:26.288
Um, and I'm, I'm not struggling like you were.

00:08:26.747 --> 00:08:29.338
So kudos to you, but,

00:08:29.377 --> 00:08:29.487
you.

00:08:30.367 --> 00:08:31.788
uh, so you're at the gym.

00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.528
What made you say, Hey, you know what?

00:08:34.557 --> 00:08:37.977
I'm going to be a, a, a coach to help people with, uh, weight loss.

00:08:38.347 --> 00:08:41.378
food and, and just overall well being.

00:08:41.427 --> 00:08:43.957
Where did that kind of click in as a decision?

00:08:43.967 --> 00:08:44.557
I'm curious.

00:08:45.488 --> 00:08:47.927
Wow, that was so much further into the journey.

00:08:48.628 --> 00:08:52.298
I'm quite boxed and so I did all these things.

00:08:52.298 --> 00:08:53.248
I went to the gym.

00:08:53.248 --> 00:08:55.067
I did so many therapies.

00:08:55.207 --> 00:08:57.837
I did chelation therapy.

00:08:57.957 --> 00:08:59.327
I had stem cell injections.

00:08:59.687 --> 00:09:00.868
I was doing the works.

00:09:01.107 --> 00:09:02.577
I even went abroad for therapy.

00:09:02.937 --> 00:09:05.687
So my life was trying to get better.

00:09:05.967 --> 00:09:06.868
That was my life.

00:09:08.153 --> 00:09:16.503
And when I got to about 8 years post the stroke, I was 70 75 percent recovered, and I plateaued.

00:09:16.913 --> 00:09:23.173
And I thought, okay, this is now my life, I'm gonna live it as best as I possibly can.

00:09:24.842 --> 00:09:31.673
It wasn't until 15 years after the stroke that I saw an ad for a nutrition program.

00:09:32.952 --> 00:09:35.753
And my first thought was, oh this sounds so cool.

00:09:35.753 --> 00:09:43.028
And Because I was already interested in nutrition and I had been playing with my diet for years.

00:09:43.648 --> 00:09:52.947
I had gone through macrobiotics, pescatarian, now I was a vegetarian, so I enrolled just out of curiosity.

00:09:55.177 --> 00:10:01.258
Never in a million years did I imagine what was about to happen to me.

00:10:02.307 --> 00:10:05.498
Within six months of the start of the program.

00:10:06.143 --> 00:10:14.743
I had recovered another 20%, 15 years after a stroke, and got my life back.

00:10:15.062 --> 00:10:17.133
I finally got my life back.

00:10:17.702 --> 00:10:18.153
And so,

00:10:19.557 --> 00:10:24.778
What about, so what, um, could you describe what that 20 percent means?

00:10:25.148 --> 00:10:26.368
Like, what does that entail?

00:10:27.842 --> 00:10:40.263
yeah, I began to hike, which I could have never done prior to the program, because I had zero energy, my balance was pretty poor, and I just didn't have the wherewithal.

00:10:41.812 --> 00:11:01.908
Another thing that happened is My voice became stronger and what I think happened, this is my non expert opinion, so what I think happened is that my left vocal cord was semi paralyzed because of the stroke and because of the program, it got better.

00:11:03.038 --> 00:11:03.847
Hmm.

00:11:04.162 --> 00:11:06.967
was very breathy, very, I don't know.

00:11:08.447 --> 00:11:11.418
Now there's bass to my voice.

00:11:13.778 --> 00:11:14.107
okay.

00:11:14.217 --> 00:11:14.927
I love bass.

00:11:15.008 --> 00:11:15.508
Let's go.

00:11:18.498 --> 00:11:19.317
So yeah.

00:11:20.123 --> 00:11:26.543
today I have probably four pages of things I noticed since the program.

00:11:27.232 --> 00:11:36.582
Oh, wow, it's interesting how you go by percentage I'm, like she's very like on point with like do you have like a spreadsheet where you're like, okay So like these are my goals.

00:11:36.582 --> 00:11:38.312
I'm like a certain percentage away.

00:11:38.613 --> 00:11:41.293
I'm just curious like where do you come up with percentages?

00:11:43.182 --> 00:11:50.423
And there was just a number that I came up with, I mean, there's no goal, there's no spreadsheet.

00:11:50.643 --> 00:11:53.722
I do have a Google Sheet with all the things I noticed.

00:11:54.222 --> 00:11:55.393
But, just basically.

00:11:57.552 --> 00:12:00.763
How I was living compared to how I'm living now.

00:12:01.283 --> 00:12:09.732
And the number is maybe a little bit arbitrary and not totally scientific.

00:12:10.952 --> 00:12:13.393
But you do have her spreadsheet so I did catch that

00:12:14.192 --> 00:12:14.562
I do.

00:12:15.783 --> 00:12:41.302
Which is actually honestly really important a lot of times naturopathic physician and she's just like Write a diary of You know what you eating and and whatnot and you can kind of see like it's good for reflecting on your day to day because of all the things we think about and it's easy to be absent minded about what's actually working, right?

00:12:41.302 --> 00:12:45.832
It's easier to pay attention to the negative than is the positive depending on where you are in your life.

00:12:46.472 --> 00:12:48.452
Um, cool.

00:12:48.462 --> 00:12:48.852
So.

00:12:50.048 --> 00:13:00.817
You got this program, you're on this program, 20 percent in, you're hiking, you're helping with your communicate, it's helping you with your vocal cords.

00:13:00.908 --> 00:13:03.067
Communication is huge.

00:13:03.607 --> 00:13:07.668
I can only imagine what things were like for you whispering to everybody.

00:13:08.008 --> 00:13:10.677
So now you're in this program, what next?

00:13:12.352 --> 00:13:14.163
Oh man, I'm remembering the whispering.

00:13:14.173 --> 00:13:15.763
That was not fun.

00:13:15.952 --> 00:13:16.513
Holy.

00:13:17.232 --> 00:13:21.692
I remember thinking that I would trade an arm because many people don't.

00:13:22.327 --> 00:13:38.128
That have strokes and that paralyze on one side and I would think to myself how I would trade an arm for a working voice They're both horrible options, but But

00:13:38.217 --> 00:13:39.227
whispering is creepy.

00:13:39.227 --> 00:13:40.758
Like, like, Oh my God.

00:13:40.788 --> 00:13:41.018
You know?

00:13:43.587 --> 00:13:53.633
wasn't just a whisper it was like I couldn't get more than four words together at the same time I ran out of breath and it was awful It was awful

00:13:54.212 --> 00:13:54.663
Okay.

00:13:54.692 --> 00:13:57.113
So you got, you can do sentences.

00:13:57.192 --> 00:13:58.302
You have some base.

00:13:59.033 --> 00:14:02.572
Um, and what's going on?

00:14:02.592 --> 00:14:12.163
So now, so what was the transition between you being somebody who's receiving the program to being like, was there a point where you're like, you know what?

00:14:12.182 --> 00:14:13.212
I want to help people.

00:14:13.783 --> 00:14:14.692
What was that transition?

00:14:14.692 --> 00:14:15.232
I'm curious.

00:14:16.173 --> 00:14:18.493
Well, some people did that right away.

00:14:18.743 --> 00:14:21.592
After the program, they joined to coach.

00:14:21.913 --> 00:14:25.482
And to me, it was more like a slow transition.

00:14:25.482 --> 00:14:28.153
I said, let me see what happens to me.

00:14:28.503 --> 00:14:28.873
You know?

00:14:29.182 --> 00:14:33.982
And I kept doing it and kept doing it and seeing all these magical wins.

00:14:34.962 --> 00:14:38.452
And then finally, I was like, this is the holy grail.

00:14:38.842 --> 00:14:40.283
I have to show people this.

00:14:40.732 --> 00:14:41.653
And so I signed up.

00:14:42.462 --> 00:14:43.732
To do clutching.

00:14:44.513 --> 00:14:44.903
Okay.

00:14:44.903 --> 00:14:45.363
Awesome.

00:14:45.753 --> 00:14:48.913
Um, is there a magical win that you didn't share yet?

00:14:49.113 --> 00:14:50.873
I want to hear about a magical win.

00:14:51.092 --> 00:14:51.653
so many.

00:14:52.133 --> 00:14:54.682
So many, but I'm gonna tell you a ridiculous one.

00:14:55.192 --> 00:14:56.442
That is really magical.

00:14:59.613 --> 00:15:03.123
The girls will get this one more than the men.

00:15:03.452 --> 00:15:03.842
Okay.

00:15:04.883 --> 00:15:10.552
One day I'm looking in the mirror, and I'm like, Did my eyelashes grow?

00:15:11.408 --> 00:15:11.587
your

00:15:11.592 --> 00:15:12.062
Did my eyelashes.

00:15:13.173 --> 00:15:13.972
I kid you not.

00:15:14.447 --> 00:15:16.677
And I thought it was hallucinating.

00:15:17.908 --> 00:15:20.288
And I thought, okay, this can't, this can't be.

00:15:20.707 --> 00:15:25.878
And then I saw one of the other coaches say the same thing in a group that we shared.

00:15:25.878 --> 00:15:27.278
And I was like, no way.

00:15:27.378 --> 00:15:38.597
I mean, this isn't of a consequence to my life, but it's just showing you that with the proper nutrition, so many magical things happen.

00:15:38.977 --> 00:15:42.597
I mean, every winter I live in New Jersey.

00:15:43.452 --> 00:15:48.932
And every winter my nose would turn deep red the second I stepped outside.

00:15:50.373 --> 00:15:53.932
And this was happening even prior to the stroke.

00:15:54.332 --> 00:15:56.842
So I thought, this is just the way I am.

00:15:58.243 --> 00:16:01.962
The first winter after the program, that stopped happening.

00:16:03.562 --> 00:16:04.653
That stopped happening.

00:16:05.383 --> 00:16:08.732
That means my circulation improved drastically.

00:16:10.177 --> 00:16:10.577
Hmm.

00:16:10.658 --> 00:16:16.378
And so just to be clear, before the program, you were a vegetarian, right?

00:16:17.597 --> 00:16:23.908
Were you a strict vegetarian or were you like a processed food, Oreo vegetarian?

00:16:26.153 --> 00:16:31.663
I was never a processed food kind of person, even prior to being a vegetarian.

00:16:31.663 --> 00:16:36.842
So, I was doing, yeah, I was doing well.

00:16:37.572 --> 00:16:38.712
Or I was doing it properly.

00:16:39.217 --> 00:16:49.498
to be clear before the program and all these changes, you are a serious vegetarian and less processed food.

00:16:49.508 --> 00:17:00.582
So Okay, so let's dive into I want to throw some, uh, some diets at you because this program sounds interesting.

00:17:01.663 --> 00:17:07.923
What would you, how would you compare this program to what makes it different from being vegetarian?

00:17:08.113 --> 00:17:14.282
Maybe a carnivore, a vegan, what makes this different than all the other programs out there?

00:17:14.762 --> 00:17:24.278
Let's say we're talking to someone that has done a Honestly, I've done vegan, I've done vegetarian, and I've done carnivore, right?

00:17:24.577 --> 00:17:28.748
So, what makes this program different?

00:17:30.103 --> 00:17:31.272
There are a couple of differences.

00:17:31.272 --> 00:17:37.782
One of them being that we don't eat the same way all year.

00:17:38.502 --> 00:17:40.192
We change the way we eat.

00:17:40.567 --> 00:17:47.698
It's to tell your body different things, because body, the food we eat is like a language.

00:17:47.958 --> 00:17:50.188
And it tells your body certain things.

00:17:50.478 --> 00:17:52.258
It gives your body certain messages.

00:17:53.748 --> 00:17:55.458
So that's one of the big differences.

00:17:56.428 --> 00:17:58.008
And I actually, honestly, I agree.

00:17:58.667 --> 00:18:01.407
I forgot what I heard, but, yeah.

00:18:02.778 --> 00:18:05.698
Food is communication.

00:18:05.698 --> 00:18:06.778
It's data.

00:18:07.198 --> 00:18:15.282
And would you agree that when you're eating locally, you're getting data from the local environment.

00:18:15.353 --> 00:18:23.042
And so your body is getting the local microbes, the anything that's trying to, and has successfully thrived in your local environment.

00:18:23.042 --> 00:18:28.333
They're going to have the resources that resources that your body needs, which is huge.

00:18:28.363 --> 00:18:30.492
So a lot of what you're doing is more local.

00:18:30.942 --> 00:18:33.133
And is that the same thing with like the seasons?

00:18:34.778 --> 00:18:38.471
Yes, I think that eating locally definitely has benefits.

00:18:38.471 --> 00:18:41.394
But it gets even deeper than that.

00:18:41.394 --> 00:18:51.813
It's What you're eating that, that tells your body, but not, not as far as it being local or not, just the messages.

00:18:52.173 --> 00:18:59.712
Some foods tell your body, hey, you better pack on some weight because winter's coming and we want to survive the winter.

00:19:00.252 --> 00:19:02.042
So, pack on a few pounds.

00:19:03.222 --> 00:19:06.413
Some food tells your body it's, there's abundance.

00:19:06.742 --> 00:19:11.143
It's safe to release whatever you're carrying because the winter's over.

00:19:11.637 --> 00:19:14.468
And now, food is easily accessible.

00:19:15.198 --> 00:19:17.738
So that's what I mean when I say messages.

00:19:18.833 --> 00:19:33.107
So what's a, um, A typical winter, uh, plate meal versus a typical summer.

00:19:33.188 --> 00:19:35.607
Because I'm curious about like the complete opposites there.

00:19:38.367 --> 00:19:42.807
Um, well winter is fasting, so in the winter you're not eating.

00:19:43.528 --> 00:19:46.647
But that's, you're not gonna fast all winter.

00:19:46.968 --> 00:19:50.137
So we call winter like a three day fast.

00:19:51.478 --> 00:19:52.647
Three day fast?

00:19:53.238 --> 00:19:54.567
Or one day, or yeah.

00:19:54.867 --> 00:19:56.688
But usually we do three days.

00:19:57.387 --> 00:19:59.202
Right now What type of fast?

00:19:59.202 --> 00:20:02.772
Because there's water fast, or I think there's a dry fast.

00:20:03.873 --> 00:20:05.192
There's the intermittent.

00:20:05.212 --> 00:20:07.952
What type of three day fast are we talking about?

00:20:07.952 --> 00:20:10.063
And it makes sense, and correct me if I'm wrong.

00:20:10.282 --> 00:20:14.883
The reason why you do more fasting in the winter is because all the food that you're eating is telling you to get fat.

00:20:15.353 --> 00:20:16.353
Or to gain weight.

00:20:16.682 --> 00:20:17.383
That's my guess.

00:20:18.607 --> 00:20:23.357
Yeah, all the food you're eating in the fall is telling you to fatten up for the winter.

00:20:23.583 --> 00:20:23.813
Get

00:20:24.048 --> 00:20:25.837
And then in the winter, you're fasting.

00:20:26.938 --> 00:20:30.768
But it's not just the time to release weight.

00:20:30.768 --> 00:20:38.508
It's not just the time to Actually, fasting, the purpose of fasting is not to lose weight.

00:20:38.877 --> 00:20:41.347
The purpose of fasting is to survive.

00:20:42.772 --> 00:20:45.502
So, can you dive into that?

00:20:45.553 --> 00:20:47.272
I have a thought, but I don't want to cut you off.

00:20:47.482 --> 00:20:48.163
Continue, sorry.

00:20:49.028 --> 00:21:07.307
Okay, I don't know if you're familiar with autophagy, which is What happens in the body when you do a longer fast, which is Think of it like this your body ends up burning its own proteins when you're fasting and You would think oh my gosh.

00:21:07.307 --> 00:21:18.877
No, I don't want to burn proteins Wait a minute Your body is burning the whole diseased proteins first Think of it like this.

00:21:19.548 --> 00:21:30.817
You're in the log cabin And it's beautiful to winter out, but all of a sudden you notice the heat stop working and you go, Oh my gosh, what am I going to do?

00:21:31.178 --> 00:21:32.377
But you notice the fireplace.

00:21:33.958 --> 00:21:36.307
So you start throwing things in the fireplace.

00:21:36.718 --> 00:21:37.387
What do you do?

00:21:37.938 --> 00:21:40.008
Do you throw in the grand piano first?

00:21:40.948 --> 00:21:44.087
Or do you go with the old picnic tables?

00:21:44.528 --> 00:21:46.337
And that's kind of the way the body works.

00:21:46.917 --> 00:21:49.807
So it's actually healing to the body.

00:21:50.157 --> 00:21:51.607
to do these longer fasts.

00:21:53.012 --> 00:22:12.698
That's interesting and, uh, it's interesting because I can say that People in general don't give, or let's say myself, in the beginning of my journey of learning about nutrition, I didn't give my body enough credit to know what to get rid of, right?

00:22:12.928 --> 00:22:15.788
It's easy to say and try to be in control of everything.

00:22:16.982 --> 00:22:20.682
But your body knows not to throw out the piano.

00:22:20.702 --> 00:22:25.333
Go for the, um, the broken down chairs outside and the picnic table.

00:22:25.343 --> 00:22:29.702
It knows it's, it's dealing with the trash daily and it's saying, thank you.

00:22:29.792 --> 00:22:30.613
Thank you very much.

00:22:30.682 --> 00:22:31.452
That's pretty cool.

00:22:31.462 --> 00:22:32.593
So yeah, you're purging.

00:22:32.663 --> 00:22:39.063
So those fast, you're purging old talks, toxic proteins and cells and all that.

00:22:39.383 --> 00:22:44.663
But, uh, as far as, I don't know if I, if we got into it, but, um, are you talking about.

00:22:46.208 --> 00:22:47.127
What type of, how about this?

00:22:47.127 --> 00:22:52.258
What type of specific fasts do you suggest during the winter?

00:22:52.667 --> 00:22:56.387
And why is fasting a theme in the winter?

00:22:57.688 --> 00:23:05.298
Okay, let me preface this by saying that if you're going to fast, you want to have your nutrition topped off.

00:23:05.587 --> 00:23:12.057
So we don't do fasting in the program until the very end and it's optional, right?

00:23:12.738 --> 00:23:22.532
So you want to make sure your nutrition is very topped off because if you fast and you're malnourished, Then you're compounding the malnourishment.

00:23:22.807 --> 00:23:23.208
Hmm.

00:23:24.913 --> 00:23:28.282
And then we do, I suggest water fasting.

00:23:28.563 --> 00:23:29.923
We don't do dry fasting.

00:23:30.462 --> 00:23:35.732
You could also do a fast with the green juice that we make ourselves.

00:23:36.542 --> 00:23:42.393
You could, so it's, we call it alkalizer, and you could do a fast using that.

00:23:43.323 --> 00:23:49.232
That ends up being more difficult, in my opinion, because it opens up that.

00:23:50.492 --> 00:23:52.972
Oh, I, I, I want to eat something else.

00:23:53.583 --> 00:23:56.923
When you're not eating, it's like, okay, I'm just not eating.

00:23:58.032 --> 00:23:58.053
Heh.

00:23:58.337 --> 00:23:59.147
It's like a teaser.

00:23:59.923 --> 00:24:00.383
Yeah.

00:24:01.738 --> 00:24:05.748
It's like, uh, get being given an appetizer and then they're like, and that's it.

00:24:05.758 --> 00:24:06.597
Have fun.

00:24:07.232 --> 00:24:07.532
Yeah.

00:24:07.532 --> 00:24:09.313
Yeah.

00:24:09.397 --> 00:24:11.077
um, that's interesting.

00:24:11.627 --> 00:24:14.917
Um, and my guest, why winter?

00:24:15.208 --> 00:24:17.887
And it makes total sense if I'm right.

00:24:18.928 --> 00:24:25.167
If we're going based off of the natural human experience during the winter, yeah, you're not going to eat as much.

00:24:25.167 --> 00:24:29.968
Things are not as abundant and it would make sense why foods.

00:24:30.887 --> 00:24:45.438
want you to pack on some weights because a you need to be warmer and b you're less likely to have access to food and so it's almost like your body's switching gears am i correct as that logic

00:24:46.353 --> 00:24:51.613
Yeah, so we're, we're creating certain conditions that used to exist.

00:24:52.012 --> 00:24:53.643
Now there's abundance of food.

00:24:54.083 --> 00:24:58.623
Calories per acre, you can just call Uber Eats and have whatever you want.

00:24:59.123 --> 00:25:09.512
But before there was no cell phone, there was no Uber Eats, I mean it was just whatever you found as you're walking through the savannah.

00:25:10.028 --> 00:25:18.647
okay so since we're in the winter and we're coming around the corner to spring what changes in your diet

00:25:20.403 --> 00:25:20.942
Beautiful.

00:25:21.563 --> 00:25:28.522
The spring is a season of abundant hunting and abundant plants are growing because of the rains.

00:25:29.502 --> 00:25:37.262
And so what to focus on during spring would be high quality proteins.

00:25:39.123 --> 00:25:47.452
And a lot of your vegetables, that, Green vegetables, really, not your root vegetables.

00:25:47.678 --> 00:25:49.188
what's a high quality protein

00:25:53.913 --> 00:25:58.913
Stuff that is grass fed, that's higher quality.

00:25:59.428 --> 00:26:00.548
so we're talking about meat

00:26:01.502 --> 00:26:03.573
Yes, yes, meat and fish.

00:26:03.978 --> 00:26:16.363
meeting first okay okay So we have high, high, so we have that high quality protein grass fed and, um, Is that a good time?

00:26:16.363 --> 00:26:20.512
So no, would you say no fasting or slow down on the fasting in spring?

00:26:21.093 --> 00:26:22.282
You don't want to fast at all.

00:26:22.303 --> 00:26:27.333
Well, I fast, but I do it intermittently.

00:26:27.813 --> 00:26:29.083
So I don't eat breakfast.

00:26:29.563 --> 00:26:33.042
But I don't do that because I'm trying to fast.

00:26:33.403 --> 00:26:34.942
I do that because I'm not hungry.

00:26:35.353 --> 00:26:37.492
And I just don't need the food.

00:26:37.962 --> 00:26:38.252
You know?

00:26:38.653 --> 00:26:39.353
Interesting.

00:26:39.653 --> 00:26:42.893
So now we're in spring and we're coming into summer.

00:26:42.903 --> 00:26:43.942
What changes now?

00:26:45.252 --> 00:26:46.952
I mean, and back to your question.

00:26:47.252 --> 00:26:48.182
I'll tell you in a second.

00:26:48.613 --> 00:26:51.813
But, that's a social construct.

00:26:52.262 --> 00:26:53.563
Eat three times a day.

00:26:54.942 --> 00:26:56.282
Why do we eat three times a day?

00:26:56.752 --> 00:27:00.583
I know people that I ask, Oh, are you hungry?

00:27:00.722 --> 00:27:03.192
And they go, No, not yet.

00:27:04.173 --> 00:27:11.462
If you're listening, she, she, uh, looked at her watch to tell her whether or not she's hungry, which is kind of funny.

00:27:13.482 --> 00:27:15.123
that's how people do nowadays.

00:27:16.492 --> 00:27:18.883
Because we're so used to this construct.

00:27:20.353 --> 00:27:39.438
I actually used to eat every three hours because that was how I was taught to speed up your metabolism just and people know me as a, And so they're like, what the heck are you doing trying to speed up your metabolism?

00:27:39.438 --> 00:27:44.407
And for me, it was, I just want more energy because I'm going to fall asleep in the middle of the day.

00:27:44.438 --> 00:27:48.238
So it was funny how your body catches, um, adapts.

00:27:48.847 --> 00:27:52.817
And I would look at my watch and I'm like, okay, so it's been almost three hours.

00:27:52.837 --> 00:27:54.788
It makes sense why my stomach is grumbling.

00:27:55.228 --> 00:27:56.468
is rumbling right now.

00:27:56.817 --> 00:28:00.667
And I would have that funny relationship with time where I'm like, I can't miss the three hour.

00:28:00.688 --> 00:28:05.337
Like, I don't want to do a minute early or, you know, I don't want to throw things off.

00:28:05.357 --> 00:28:05.778
Right.

00:28:05.807 --> 00:28:10.057
But that was me programming the body thinking I know more than the body.

00:28:11.173 --> 00:28:11.462
Yeah.

00:28:12.163 --> 00:28:13.893
Yeah, because I eat twice a day.

00:28:14.492 --> 00:28:15.603
Sometimes I eat once.

00:28:16.042 --> 00:28:17.472
And I have energy all day.

00:28:18.252 --> 00:28:19.452
I don't get tired.

00:28:21.083 --> 00:28:22.173
I don't take naps.

00:28:24.532 --> 00:28:25.053
No naps.

00:28:25.053 --> 00:28:25.762
That's that's good.

00:28:25.772 --> 00:28:33.163
Especially if you're like a very active person, like I'm seeing more people for two main reasons.

00:28:34.373 --> 00:28:44.992
Uh, one reason is, uh, people are starting to fast because like myself, I have more mental clarity when I don't eat breakfast and I just kind of delay it.

00:28:46.123 --> 00:28:53.093
So you don't feel, and then like, I try even to delay my lunch because depending on what I eat, I get that left.

00:28:53.587 --> 00:28:55.468
Uh, I get lethargic, I get tired.

00:28:56.107 --> 00:29:00.478
And then another reason is you save money.

00:29:02.417 --> 00:29:03.428
People are like are on this.

00:29:03.442 --> 00:29:04.272
pluses.

00:29:05.452 --> 00:29:06.363
All pluses.

00:29:07.042 --> 00:29:10.063
Yeah, all pluses, you know, there's less dishes.

00:29:10.083 --> 00:29:11.282
There's less garbage.

00:29:11.282 --> 00:29:16.292
There's less trips to, or, you know, there's less groceries or it's, it's fantastic.

00:29:16.462 --> 00:29:20.242
I love, I love that part of energy and you save money.

00:29:21.722 --> 00:29:24.133
Um, that's funny.

00:29:24.143 --> 00:29:25.742
So, so summer, what?

00:29:27.103 --> 00:29:34.222
I'm guessing summer is like abundance and maybe much less, uh, fasting, right?

00:29:34.222 --> 00:29:37.803
What kind of, uh, does it is summer versus spring?

00:29:37.813 --> 00:29:39.873
Is that diet very similar?

00:29:41.042 --> 00:29:42.252
It's pretty similar.

00:29:42.252 --> 00:29:44.042
It's a little bit different with some.

00:29:44.958 --> 00:29:53.518
more of a maintenance kind of thing if you're not looking to lose any more weight and your medical issues are all resolved.

00:29:54.468 --> 00:29:57.847
And so it's kind of like just a fun season, right?

00:29:58.373 --> 00:29:58.633
Yeah.

00:29:58.633 --> 00:29:59.012
Okay.

00:29:59.103 --> 00:29:59.833
Have some fun.

00:30:00.403 --> 00:30:01.262
And, and I feel like

00:30:01.407 --> 00:30:03.538
But not, but not the fun that you're thinking about.

00:30:03.538 --> 00:30:06.200
Not the, chocolate cake fun.

00:30:06.200 --> 00:30:07.878
Not that kind of fun.

00:30:09.123 --> 00:30:10.002
Okay.

00:30:10.893 --> 00:30:11.413
I get it though.

00:30:11.413 --> 00:30:12.192
It's maintenance.

00:30:12.502 --> 00:30:13.343
It makes sense.

00:30:13.353 --> 00:30:26.827
It's, it seems very aligned with someone who's, um, I guess like those bodybuilders were, but not in the exact way where they tell me, Oh, I'm going to go start carbon out.

00:30:26.877 --> 00:30:29.688
You know, I'm going to just go heavy with the carves during the winter.

00:30:29.688 --> 00:30:34.748
I'm going to pack on the weight and then come the summer, we're going to start shredding and cutting.

00:30:34.988 --> 00:30:38.577
And it's interesting how, um, that industry.

00:30:38.778 --> 00:31:01.458
Naturally went that direction and you can, based off of our conversation, you can kind of see why they do that and they do it in the most unhealthy way, but it started from something and then probably got corrupted and, you know, just, just for visual sake and not for internal, uh, sake where you got those guys with the guts, with abs on top.

00:31:01.498 --> 00:31:02.478
That's pretty hilarious.

00:31:03.258 --> 00:31:03.708
Yeah.

00:31:05.718 --> 00:31:08.097
Um, but that's, that's, that's very interesting.

00:31:08.107 --> 00:31:11.178
So I'm actually wanting to get into.

00:31:12.042 --> 00:31:20.833
What are your thoughts on somebody that wants to do like, what are your thoughts on vegan, vegetarian, and carnivore?

00:31:20.853 --> 00:31:32.982
I'm just based off of what, you know, now, especially coming into this as a vegetarian and you know what, maybe even scratch that, what was it like for you to get into this program and being a vegetarian?

00:31:32.982 --> 00:31:38.673
Cause I know that this program has protein from animal products.

00:31:38.722 --> 00:31:40.532
What was that like that transition?

00:31:42.718 --> 00:31:45.117
They never made me have protein.

00:31:45.127 --> 00:31:51.028
They suggested, maybe you want to be a little more flexitarian, if you want to try it.

00:31:51.367 --> 00:31:54.178
If you don't, we will support you, whatever you decide.

00:31:54.938 --> 00:32:00.258
And it is a bit more challenging to do the program as a vegetarian.

00:32:00.907 --> 00:32:02.367
Or a certain part of the program.

00:32:03.587 --> 00:32:04.617
But it's doable.

00:32:04.917 --> 00:32:07.417
And vegetarians have fantastic.

00:32:07.942 --> 00:32:19.932
Outcomes as well, but they never force you to Eat one way or another that's a can of worms though, and i'll give you my honest answer

00:32:20.252 --> 00:32:22.113
All right, let's open up those cans of worms.

00:32:22.413 --> 00:32:41.603
Okay, yeah So I was never a vegetarian for Ethical reasons I was a vegetarian because I was looking out for my health if that is the case for you Vegetarianism is not the healthiest diet.

00:32:42.042 --> 00:32:42.663
It's not.

00:32:43.063 --> 00:32:46.722
Eating animal protein, the human body needs that.

00:32:49.827 --> 00:32:51.228
She just dropped it right there.

00:32:51.337 --> 00:32:51.958
Mic drop.

00:32:52.748 --> 00:33:00.188
Um, so interesting enough, there are people that are vegetarian that have fantastic results.

00:33:00.617 --> 00:33:10.077
And what you're saying is, Um, the animal protein is a really good choice to add into the diet.

00:33:10.438 --> 00:33:20.917
Why, why would you say what's so special about animal protein for anybody who may want to win an argument or just, you know, someone's curious that, hey, I'm open minded.

00:33:21.228 --> 00:33:23.948
Uh, I'll incorporate some animal protein.

00:33:24.258 --> 00:33:26.188
Um, what can I do to.

00:33:27.343 --> 00:33:30.732
empower myself mentally to make that change.

00:33:33.063 --> 00:33:36.542
Animal protein is all the necessary amino acids.

00:33:37.133 --> 00:33:41.472
And you can basically get everything you need from animal proteins.

00:33:42.343 --> 00:33:47.152
Yes, there are some successful vegetarians, but there are few and far between.

00:33:47.152 --> 00:33:56.952
Most people that end up Trying vegetarianism, they go back to eating meat after years.

00:33:57.242 --> 00:34:07.932
And as a matter of fact, I was watching a podcast yesterday about a guy that was doing veganism for seven years and his health was terrible.

00:34:08.463 --> 00:34:09.032
Terrible.

00:34:09.032 --> 00:34:13.293
And then when he began eating meat again, his health came back.

00:34:14.063 --> 00:34:20.268
So, the people that are successful doing this, They have to supplement very carefully.

00:34:21.628 --> 00:34:23.577
And it just, it's a lot of work.

00:34:24.293 --> 00:34:25.353
Yeah, I agree.

00:34:25.463 --> 00:34:31.023
It's a lot of work, especially in the society that we live in right now.

00:34:31.262 --> 00:34:32.713
There's a lot of unknowns.

00:34:33.193 --> 00:34:38.052
Um, a lot of what you're sourcing as far as food is not local.

00:34:39.402 --> 00:34:45.262
And I've seen successful people that are vegan, but they, they eat what's in their backyard.

00:34:45.913 --> 00:35:01.992
And And it's different because of the, like you said, you're going to have to supplement because what you're getting at the store is devoid of like 70 percent of the original nutrients that it had like 30 plus years ago.

00:35:01.992 --> 00:35:11.463
So that's why you see people feeling like they need to eat like a huge bowl of vegetables and everything because they're just watered down, you know?

00:35:11.873 --> 00:35:14.463
Like, uh, yeah, like tomatoes.

00:35:15.987 --> 00:35:21.407
then on top of that, you cannot get from plants what you're getting from meat.

00:35:22.378 --> 00:35:22.918
You cannot.

00:35:24.452 --> 00:35:26.273
Yeah, there's a lot of stuff missing from there.

00:35:26.773 --> 00:35:33.932
I do like the idea of having the quote unquote fruits of the animal.

00:35:34.092 --> 00:35:41.393
So, raw milk, raw cheese, I'm pretty sure, um, Someone listening is going to be like, ah, so, okay.

00:35:42.702 --> 00:35:44.742
Um, but yeah, raw milk, raw cheese.

00:35:44.753 --> 00:35:48.552
And there's like a whole history on why, but I'm not going to get into that.

00:35:48.873 --> 00:35:51.992
Um, do you, do you like the idea of raw milk and cheese?

00:35:52.003 --> 00:35:52.782
Have you heard of that?

00:35:53.927 --> 00:35:56.918
Yes, I like that better than the alternative.

00:35:57.818 --> 00:36:03.668
Although what I do have to say is, humans, or no species, has milk.

00:36:04.052 --> 00:36:06.012
after like two or three years of age.

00:36:06.572 --> 00:36:11.202
And no species has the milk of another species, right?

00:36:12.152 --> 00:36:17.063
So it's not the optimal nutrition for your body.

00:36:17.842 --> 00:36:18.202
how about

00:36:18.413 --> 00:36:20.572
Raw is a million times better though.

00:36:21.128 --> 00:36:21.967
I, yeah, right?

00:36:22.268 --> 00:36:26.108
I have a counter to that and I, I agree.

00:36:26.108 --> 00:36:30.668
It's like, yeah, if we're trying to understand what, you know, what's the best diet for a human, right?

00:36:31.148 --> 00:36:42.148
Um, and you, and you're looking at nature and the, the go to to look at nature for answers, honestly, has been the, the way.

00:36:42.407 --> 00:36:42.838
Right?

00:36:42.967 --> 00:36:49.677
Everything that we do is literally just a copy, and it always falls short because we didn't create it.

00:36:50.597 --> 00:37:01.137
But what are your thoughts Yes, we don't drink milk or not, we're the only species that decided to drink milk from another animal.

00:37:01.998 --> 00:37:05.538
And then after, I think adolescence, or after a certain age.

00:37:06.557 --> 00:37:09.918
And my thought is, one, humans are different from every animal.

00:37:10.208 --> 00:37:19.027
And two, if you pay attention to the, I guess the embryo growth of a human, we look like humans.

00:37:19.478 --> 00:37:26.268
a lot of different animals before we decide to stop at the human form.

00:37:26.987 --> 00:37:28.047
It's really freaky.

00:37:28.047 --> 00:37:29.068
I don't know if you've seen that.

00:37:29.117 --> 00:37:30.237
I see you nodding your head.

00:37:30.447 --> 00:37:37.427
So my thought, my crazy mind is thinking we technically have the genetics of all species on the planet.

00:37:38.288 --> 00:37:45.338
So technically we could handle the fruit of all species of the planet.

00:37:45.608 --> 00:37:51.947
We can handle the milk because we have the genes of a cow somewhere's inside of us.

00:37:52.693 --> 00:37:52.992
What are your

00:37:53.052 --> 00:37:55.143
Well, let's put it, let's put it this way.

00:37:57.672 --> 00:38:03.813
When you are nursing a child, your milk is different every week.

00:38:04.867 --> 00:38:06.527
Every week your milk is different.

00:38:07.068 --> 00:38:08.338
And the cows as well.

00:38:08.978 --> 00:38:17.097
The milk for baby cows, that milk is designed for really rapid growth and gaining weight.

00:38:17.768 --> 00:38:20.418
And so our milk is designed differently.

00:38:23.342 --> 00:38:24.032
Interesting.

00:38:24.427 --> 00:38:31.568
So every species of milk is designed for that particular species and it changes week by week.

00:38:32.503 --> 00:38:33.163
Makes sense.

00:38:33.737 --> 00:38:35.027
And I can give you an example.

00:38:35.027 --> 00:38:35.382
Here's an example.

00:38:36.483 --> 00:38:48.353
There were two children that were born about the same time from two sisters in law, and they took a picture of the children side by side sitting on the couch.

00:38:48.853 --> 00:38:59.722
The one that was pregnant, she looked like a small little thing, and the other one was plump and big and because she was drinking Kalmyk.

00:39:00.202 --> 00:39:03.992
Kalmyk is designed to make you grow quickly.

00:39:06.123 --> 00:39:06.873
Ah, interesting.

00:39:07.483 --> 00:39:08.713
Makes perfect sense.

00:39:08.862 --> 00:39:09.222
Right?

00:39:10.233 --> 00:39:18.362
And that's interesting how they did that experiment on a, a child with cow milk versus mom's breast milk, which is uh oh.

00:39:18.362 --> 00:39:18.364
So,

00:39:18.648 --> 00:39:21.157
This is for, this is for my own personal life.

00:39:21.208 --> 00:39:22.967
This is people I know.

00:39:23.143 --> 00:39:24.043
oh wow, wow.

00:39:24.043 --> 00:39:24.313
So that

00:39:24.454 --> 00:39:28.418
sisters in law, and they weren't doing experiments.

00:39:28.418 --> 00:39:33.297
They just had the children sitting next to each other on the couch, and they took a picture.

00:39:33.677 --> 00:39:37.398
And I knew that one mother was breastfeeding, and the other one wasn't.

00:39:37.922 --> 00:39:42.813
so the one that wasn't breastfeeding, uh, how did you know that it was cow's milk?

00:39:42.813 --> 00:39:44.583
Was it because it was like formula?

00:39:46.068 --> 00:39:46.358
Yeah.

00:39:47.057 --> 00:39:48.688
Also formula is technically cow's milk.

00:39:50.057 --> 00:39:55.878
Well, I don't know what exactly the type of formula she was using, but it wasn't breast milk.

00:39:55.898 --> 00:39:58.867
Can

00:39:58.902 --> 00:40:02.003
nature made, it's not going to be the right one.

00:40:02.043 --> 00:40:10.563
And then chances are that formula has way protein in it coming from the cows.

00:40:10.563 --> 00:40:12.652
I doubt they're sourcing it from women.

00:40:12.652 --> 00:40:17.552
That would be a cool thing to look into.

00:40:17.728 --> 00:40:18.338
you imagine?

00:40:18.793 --> 00:40:20.012
where's, that sourced from?

00:40:20.532 --> 00:40:24.422
If anybody who's listening, feel free to send a comment or an email.

00:40:24.422 --> 00:40:25.052
Word is.

00:40:25.788 --> 00:40:27.538
Uh, formula milk come from?

00:40:27.577 --> 00:40:28.927
Is it cow milk?

00:40:28.927 --> 00:40:31.327
Is it just fully synthetic?

00:40:31.327 --> 00:40:32.387
Is it a mixture?

00:40:32.538 --> 00:40:35.818
Or does it really come from women?

00:40:36.318 --> 00:40:38.987
I highly doubt the third option, which is nuts.

00:40:39.018 --> 00:40:44.847
But, there's an obvious difference if you're thinking, and if you're nursing, now you see the difference.

00:40:45.248 --> 00:40:46.777
Um, interesting.

00:40:46.777 --> 00:40:50.952
I have a niece that literally recently just got a baby.

00:40:51.193 --> 00:40:54.032
off breast milk and I'm very curious.

00:40:54.043 --> 00:40:56.713
She's, she's, I would say, lean.

00:40:57.172 --> 00:41:03.882
And, uh, if I were to put a side by side photo of her and myself, I was a, I was a chubby boy.

00:41:03.922 --> 00:41:05.472
My cheeks sagged.

00:41:05.992 --> 00:41:10.572
Uh, I can only imagine, uh, I was taken off breast milk earlier.

00:41:10.572 --> 00:41:13.713
So that's something that I can look into because I was a fat baby, man.

00:41:13.722 --> 00:41:16.293
Like, I had, like, like the rolls and everything.

00:41:16.293 --> 00:41:17.695
Heh, heh.

00:41:17.818 --> 00:41:18.538
I'd be curious.

00:41:18.907 --> 00:41:19.547
Yeah, yeah,

00:41:19.557 --> 00:41:19.628
curious

00:41:19.958 --> 00:41:20.878
I'll follow up on that.

00:41:21.637 --> 00:41:21.768
All right.

00:41:21.858 --> 00:41:30.307
So it's interesting to, to hear your, your thoughts on, you know, the vegetarian lifestyle, let's go and the vegan lifestyle.

00:41:30.498 --> 00:41:32.257
Let's go into carnivore.

00:41:32.358 --> 00:41:42.547
Uh, I know that's something that's growing in popularity as of, uh, 2024 and we're halfway through 2024 as like a timestamp for anybody listening in the future.

00:41:43.137 --> 00:41:46.777
Um, what are your thoughts on carnivore diet?

00:41:49.117 --> 00:41:50.478
I have a lot of thoughts on that.

00:41:50.617 --> 00:41:53.617
Um, I like the carnivore diet.

00:41:53.867 --> 00:41:54.297
I do.

00:41:55.398 --> 00:41:55.708
Okay.

00:41:55.958 --> 00:42:01.228
I do, because I feel like you're getting everything you need without any of the stuff you don't need.

00:42:01.628 --> 00:42:06.438
So, I've seen people have miraculous healings from that.

00:42:08.318 --> 00:42:08.757
Like what?

00:42:10.282 --> 00:42:15.382
The latest I heard, which I was blown away by, was somebody with a heart murmur.

00:42:15.693 --> 00:42:19.143
Their heart murmur got fixed.

00:42:19.623 --> 00:42:22.083
And a heart murmur is like a hole in your heart.

00:42:22.643 --> 00:42:22.932
Right?

00:42:23.472 --> 00:42:24.282
That you ever broke.

00:42:25.722 --> 00:42:26.463
That's huge.

00:42:27.137 --> 00:42:27.527
Huh.

00:42:28.347 --> 00:42:28.757
Okay.

00:42:28.938 --> 00:42:44.657
And so, uh, based off of what you said before and now it's a concentrated source it's a concentrated source of your, your vitamins, minerals and, all that.

00:42:44.677 --> 00:42:45.068
Correct.

00:42:46.313 --> 00:42:47.452
Yeah, think of it this way.

00:42:47.592 --> 00:42:51.043
I mean, we've been eating meat for millions of years.

00:42:51.623 --> 00:42:54.623
Meat is really the only superfood.

00:42:54.623 --> 00:42:54.637
Right?

00:42:54.898 --> 00:42:56.717
They like throwing that word around today.

00:42:57.108 --> 00:42:58.418
Oh, superfood this.

00:42:58.697 --> 00:43:03.938
No, it can't be a superfood unless it's been in our diets for millions of years.

00:43:04.527 --> 00:43:05.307
Hmm.

00:43:05.717 --> 00:43:10.777
So the carnivore diet, very similar to the keto diet.

00:43:10.818 --> 00:43:18.367
I feel like it's like, the advanced version Version of the keto diet where you're putting your body into ketosis.

00:43:19.827 --> 00:43:20.168
Hmm.

00:43:20.318 --> 00:43:40.197
What are your thoughts on Not having carbs because you're on the carnivore diet and what if someone falls off and they you know go for a carb snack here because maybe they're just having a hard time or they just don't have access to only meats or whatever like what are your thoughts on on that whole?

00:43:40.197 --> 00:43:45.717
like restricting your carbs And focusing on burning the fat from the meat and everything

00:43:46.807 --> 00:43:49.887
I think herbs are not a necessary macro at all.

00:43:50.557 --> 00:43:51.887
Not a necessary macro.

00:43:51.927 --> 00:43:52.438
Interesting.

00:43:54.097 --> 00:43:54.777
Interesting.

00:43:54.867 --> 00:43:58.347
we like them and they're comforting, but they're not necessary.

00:43:59.318 --> 00:43:59.788
Huh.

00:44:01.038 --> 00:44:08.668
And a Carb is, is, essentially, when it, when the body breaks it down, it turns it into, sugar.

00:44:08.697 --> 00:44:09.907
That's pretty much what.

00:44:10.617 --> 00:44:23.498
the function of the carb is, um, so technically, it will be meat and fats like butter and whatnot, and then fruit for your sugars instead of carbs.

00:44:23.588 --> 00:44:24.057
Correct?

00:44:25.137 --> 00:44:32.117
Yes, and as far as the fruits, I would also keep that to a time period instead of having fruit every day.

00:44:32.552 --> 00:44:38.282
Because think about it, in nature, fruit grew two months a year, it didn't grow all year.

00:44:38.813 --> 00:44:41.003
So you don't want to have fruit all year.

00:44:41.373 --> 00:44:47.112
So it's best to concentrate into like, days, or weeks, or even months.

00:44:47.382 --> 00:44:52.112
Rather than having fruit today, two days later, having fruit again.

00:44:52.483 --> 00:44:55.032
No, when you're gonna have the fruit, have it every day.

00:44:55.552 --> 00:44:56.693
But for a time period.

00:44:57.157 --> 00:44:57.717
Mmm.

00:44:57.748 --> 00:45:01.677
Don't snack on it all day, just decide like one part of the day type of thing.

00:45:03.572 --> 00:45:05.012
Yeah, yes and no.

00:45:06.217 --> 00:45:13.577
Because us adults, our digestions are so messed up, it's good to eat fruit on an empty stomach.

00:45:13.867 --> 00:45:16.748
Because fruit wants to go through quickly.

00:45:17.297 --> 00:45:22.208
And when you're eating fruit on top of other food, it ferments in your stomach.

00:45:23.188 --> 00:45:29.148
Oh, so then you'll get, uh, I've heard, he said, ferment my mind, just went wild.

00:45:29.208 --> 00:45:35.697
I've heard of people that have these things where they get drunk because of the fermentation.

00:45:35.717 --> 00:45:37.418
of food in their gut.

00:45:37.418 --> 00:45:39.547
So That could be interesting, right?

00:45:40.338 --> 00:45:40.827
Maybe we're,

00:45:40.827 --> 00:45:41.038
Good question.

00:45:41.657 --> 00:45:45.922
dealing with, a, a, a, A certain version of that and don't even know it.

00:45:45.932 --> 00:45:56.112
That's, you know, imagine that you're driving and then like, you're full and you're snacking on an apple and you get pulled over and he's like, you have a certain percentage of alcohol in your system.

00:45:56.112 --> 00:45:57.313
You're like, no, no.

00:45:57.313 --> 00:45:58.083
I swear.

00:45:58.103 --> 00:45:58.813
I swear.

00:45:59.452 --> 00:46:01.322
I wonder if there's any stories like that.

00:46:01.322 --> 00:46:01.663
Right?

00:46:01.822 --> 00:46:08.262
I do know that that's a thing, but that's like a certain condition where it's like it defaults to like that fermentation process.

00:46:09.083 --> 00:46:10.242
That's interesting.

00:46:10.987 --> 00:46:19.157
I, I more meant things like getting heartburn and stuff, but that's interesting because That's what hangovers are.

00:46:19.338 --> 00:46:24.918
Hangovers are, you've loaded your body with sugars, and it's like a sugar thing.

00:46:25.373 --> 00:46:26.242
Do you have.

00:46:26.713 --> 00:46:28.853
So, so hold on, hold on.

00:46:29.713 --> 00:46:30.963
Let's say you have a hangover.

00:46:31.193 --> 00:46:38.632
Is there, outside of drinking water, is there like a favorite preventative, hangover?

00:46:39.353 --> 00:46:40.072
solution?

00:46:40.092 --> 00:46:42.443
And then What about the day of?

00:46:42.802 --> 00:46:44.382
I'm curious if you have any tips.

00:46:45.438 --> 00:46:50.117
probably the best thing to do is drink a lot of water while you're drinking.

00:46:50.597 --> 00:46:54.987
So when you're out and you're having drinks, drink a lot of water in between the

00:46:55.043 --> 00:46:56.413
I'd definitely do that.

00:46:56.443 --> 00:46:58.873
I try to do So that's like number one.

00:46:58.882 --> 00:46:59.672
That's the best way.

00:47:01.458 --> 00:47:04.612
But the best way I know, there might be another better way, but,

00:47:06.193 --> 00:47:06.813
I do the same thing.

00:47:06.913 --> 00:47:13.213
if I have a one glass of Whether it would be alcohol, or whatever it is, I try to match it at least one to one.

00:47:13.663 --> 00:47:14.663
if not a little bit more.

00:47:14.663 --> 00:47:16.603
That's like my personal minimum It works.

00:47:16.742 --> 00:47:17.603
It works for me.

00:47:17.753 --> 00:47:19.563
What about the the day after?

00:47:19.652 --> 00:47:23.253
Do you have any, go to's or do you not drink Like that

00:47:25.112 --> 00:47:27.972
I don't drink like that anymore, anymore.

00:47:30.233 --> 00:47:34.362
But um, probably just drinking a lot of water, maybe.

00:47:34.882 --> 00:47:37.362
Vitamin B12, that might help you.

00:47:41.077 --> 00:47:41.487
That's cool.

00:47:41.487 --> 00:47:46.978
So Fruits on an empty stomach is the best way to go for it.

00:47:46.987 --> 00:47:48.257
I'm totally going to take that.

00:47:48.307 --> 00:47:50.277
I'm totally going to take that very cool.

00:47:50.898 --> 00:47:56.208
And it may be I guess the last season to cover would be fall that transition.

00:47:56.237 --> 00:48:05.737
I think that's a Out of all the transitions, I think that is the biggest transition diet wise just based Off of what you said earlier

00:48:07.092 --> 00:48:09.992
So fall is the season to pack on weight.

00:48:09.992 --> 00:48:13.016
Right, because you're preparing for the winter.

00:48:13.016 --> 00:48:20.793
And so this is the time when you're eating a lot more root veggies and things with carbs.

00:48:21.262 --> 00:48:22.302
But not junk carbs.

00:48:23.233 --> 00:48:29.793
We're so used to like junky carbs that don't have any purpose in our bodies.

00:48:30.427 --> 00:48:36.378
What's a, What's a couple of examples of junk carbs, just in case, I know it's obvious for you and me, but let's just say it's not as obvious.

00:48:36.378 --> 00:48:37.788
What would be some examples?

00:48:39.072 --> 00:48:44.262
Um, your pastas, your rice, breads and stuff.

00:48:45.003 --> 00:48:51.273
These are things that are not doing any functions in your body, right?

00:48:51.273 --> 00:48:52.762
The

00:48:52.838 --> 00:48:53.268
Okay.

00:48:53.297 --> 00:48:57.097
So put on the weight, not junk carbs.

00:48:57.128 --> 00:49:00.128
What would you say are better carbs.

00:49:02.643 --> 00:49:03.793
root vegetables.

00:49:05.418 --> 00:49:05.867
Hmm.

00:49:07.208 --> 00:49:10.938
And then, like you said, we technically don't need.

00:49:10.938 --> 00:49:11.253
junk carbs.

00:49:13.492 --> 00:49:14.483
What you said.

00:49:14.842 --> 00:49:18.632
So that would just be another.

00:49:21.222 --> 00:49:22.952
Is not a fruit, correct?

00:49:23.992 --> 00:49:37.047
Yeah, what I would say if you're going to have carbs, not natural carbs, fall to season to have those in, because you're fattening up anyway.

00:49:37.637 --> 00:49:49.117
But I, then it turns into some people just go into fall and then they go into spring and they treat it like another diet.

00:49:50.757 --> 00:49:53.097
that's what it becomes if you treat it like a diet.

00:49:53.588 --> 00:49:55.728
It becomes a fat diet of just.

00:49:59.023 --> 00:49:59.682
What do you call this?

00:49:59.742 --> 00:50:02.773
When you, um, When you're,

00:50:03.092 --> 00:50:03.432
or

00:50:03.682 --> 00:50:06.422
yeah, just Yo Yo ing, yo yo

00:50:06.663 --> 00:50:06.992
yoing?

00:50:07.023 --> 00:50:07.342
Okay.

00:50:07.342 --> 00:50:07.623
Yeah, yeah.

00:50:07.623 --> 00:50:08.753
Yo yoing diets.

00:50:10.362 --> 00:50:10.693
Okay.

00:50:10.693 --> 00:50:11.123
Okay.

00:50:11.422 --> 00:50:18.762
And then we get Into, um, winter where we started and uh, you're going to see more fasting.

00:50:18.773 --> 00:50:19.663
Interesting.

00:50:20.532 --> 00:50:22.143
I remember you telling me this earlier.

00:50:22.152 --> 00:50:24.463
You're like, well, it depends on the time of year.

00:50:24.777 --> 00:50:26.038
That's how you want to optimize.

00:50:26.038 --> 00:50:28.427
I'm like, huh, I'm going to have to ask you about that.

00:50:29.108 --> 00:50:35.608
Well, you know, it's, it's great to see that you are better shape than in the past.

00:50:35.697 --> 00:50:37.807
And it's interesting to hear your story.

00:50:38.367 --> 00:50:48.708
of virtually being paralyzed, having a stroke, and, and now you're, you're doing hikes, you're going to the gym, you're not whispering, you know,

00:50:49.172 --> 00:50:51.643
only if I Boop!

00:50:53.742 --> 00:50:55.253
And, and a great sense of humor.

00:50:55.722 --> 00:50:59.503
Um, so you have, you have two books.

00:50:59.773 --> 00:51:01.342
you're a nutrition coach.

00:51:01.592 --> 00:51:13.867
What, um, what are you focusing on now that, you, that, let's say someone wants to, connect with you or, um, like, what's your focus right now as far as like, uh, business.

00:51:13.907 --> 00:51:17.628
or or helping other people, because you found this program.

00:51:17.827 --> 00:51:21.887
You obviously, obviously know what you're doing and have gotten personal results.

00:51:21.887 --> 00:51:22.967
What's what's working?

00:51:22.998 --> 00:51:24.347
what's what you're doing right now.

00:51:25.302 --> 00:51:30.182
And not just personal results, I'm building a database of case studies.

00:51:31.103 --> 00:51:37.663
And all my clients who've had serious issues, they've had mind blowing results.

00:51:38.512 --> 00:51:39.032
Mind blowing.

00:51:39.032 --> 00:51:39.163
That's me.

00:51:40.353 --> 00:51:46.572
Stopping some injections, stop CPAP machines, and just stories go on and on.

00:51:47.387 --> 00:51:53.277
So we have stopping CPAP machines for sleep apnea.

00:51:53.407 --> 00:51:55.677
And then what was the injections that you're talking about?

00:51:56.213 --> 00:51:58.003
Insulin for diabetics.

00:51:58.097 --> 00:51:58.887
Whoa.

00:51:58.958 --> 00:51:59.387
So.

00:51:59.387 --> 00:52:00.038
Yeah.

00:52:00.807 --> 00:52:09.768
going to make any claims, but are you saying that there's a possibility that This can help someone with diabetes.

00:52:10.873 --> 00:52:11.262
Yes.

00:52:11.873 --> 00:52:14.833
Type 2 diabetes is reversible.

00:52:15.523 --> 00:52:17.523
Type 1, as far as I know, is not.

00:52:17.913 --> 00:52:21.253
But even type 1 will see huge benefits.

00:52:21.978 --> 00:52:22.398
Wow.

00:52:22.847 --> 00:52:23.248
Wow.

00:52:23.927 --> 00:52:35.644
Um, any, any, let's, let's share one more, um, case study of someone getting over something that is one of your clients.

00:52:35.644 --> 00:52:39.032
I'm curious cause you said you're, you're stacking up.

00:52:39.032 --> 00:52:40.914
What are some other examples?

00:52:40.914 --> 00:52:41.291
Wow.

00:52:41.291 --> 00:52:41.668
Sciatica.

00:52:41.713 --> 00:52:46.382
One of the ones that blew my mind was a guy that came to me on crutches.

00:52:47.083 --> 00:52:49.213
He was scheduled for a sciatica operation.

00:52:49.543 --> 00:52:50.753
He could barely walk.

00:52:51.393 --> 00:53:03.222
By week 7 or so, he came to the call, running in place, because it's a video call, he was running in place, his sciatica released, he cancelled his operation.

00:53:05.472 --> 00:53:13.432
And if somebody had told me, 5 years ago, that sciatica is related to food, I would have said, that's impossible.

00:53:14.797 --> 00:53:16.927
But now I know they're intricately related.

00:53:17.637 --> 00:53:19.447
Wow, that's pretty

00:53:19.577 --> 00:53:21.117
food is the foundation, yeah?

00:53:21.628 --> 00:53:22.088
Yeah.

00:53:22.137 --> 00:53:24.157
Food is the foundation of life.

00:53:24.637 --> 00:53:28.648
And it'll influence everything that happens in your body.

00:53:28.918 --> 00:53:29.507
Everything.

00:53:29.507 --> 00:53:33.407
Right

00:53:33.418 --> 00:53:33.958
I agree.

00:53:33.958 --> 00:53:36.958
And that's why I work very hard on what I eat.

00:53:36.958 --> 00:53:48.398
And I try to connect with as many people that are knowledgeable, such as yourself on just what to eat, when and kind of be there to uh, answer some questions to some uh, difficult questions.

00:53:49.277 --> 00:53:50.867
Did I say answer questions answer?

00:53:50.867 --> 00:53:51.632
Hehe.

00:53:52.893 --> 00:53:54.472
Give answers to difficult questions.

00:53:54.822 --> 00:53:57.043
You, you, you understand, you understand we have the same brain.

00:53:57.652 --> 00:54:02.583
Um, so right now you're taking in clients.

00:54:02.592 --> 00:54:05.282
What's the best way for people to reach you?

00:54:07.047 --> 00:54:13.478
now the best way to reach me is go to my website, which is genuinelyandmariette.

00:54:13.518 --> 00:54:13.887
com

00:54:14.353 --> 00:54:14.992
Okay, cool.

00:54:14.992 --> 00:54:15.413
And then,

00:54:15.858 --> 00:54:15.878
book that.

00:54:16.472 --> 00:54:16.822
huh?

00:54:17.858 --> 00:54:20.927
I was going to say that you can book a Rediscovery Call.

00:54:21.623 --> 00:54:22.103
Perfect.

00:54:22.103 --> 00:54:22.543
Alright.

00:54:22.898 --> 00:54:24.378
chat and see how I can help.

00:54:24.773 --> 00:54:25.762
GenuinelyMaria.

00:54:26.722 --> 00:54:27.003
com.

00:54:27.708 --> 00:54:28.137
Correct.

00:54:29.047 --> 00:54:30.418
And booked that discovery call.

00:54:30.467 --> 00:54:30.688
Cool.

00:54:30.688 --> 00:54:30.907
Yeah.

00:54:30.907 --> 00:54:47.088
So if anybody's interested and you want to learn a little bit more about this seasonal look at, uh, outlook at what you're eating and whether you have diabetes, sciatica or something else that you think you're Maria can help you with, give her a call.

00:54:47.838 --> 00:54:50.878
You couldn't hurt to do that, that free, discovery call.

00:54:50.898 --> 00:54:59.248
Well, um, before we go, Maria, is there anything that we didn't cover that you wanted to share that I didn't ask about before we close out today?

00:55:00.717 --> 00:55:05.518
I love that you asked me that because I was just thinking, I want to talk about willpower.

00:55:05.777 --> 00:55:06.237
Okay,

00:55:07.277 --> 00:55:10.577
Willpower is a horrible long term strategy.

00:55:11.038 --> 00:55:14.527
So that's the reason why diets do not work.

00:55:14.927 --> 00:55:18.257
You can't hand people a list of things to do.

00:55:32.068 --> 00:55:36.507
So we work to understand your food psychology.

00:55:36.978 --> 00:55:39.538
That's the foundation of the course.

00:55:39.978 --> 00:55:46.327
And if you get this part, and you really dive in, this is what's going to create.

00:55:47.268 --> 00:55:48.217
Lifelong results.

00:55:49.713 --> 00:55:50.023
nice.

00:55:50.052 --> 00:55:51.043
And I agree, right?

00:55:51.063 --> 00:55:53.273
Everybody comes from a different place of willpower.

00:55:53.463 --> 00:55:54.943
It takes willpower to go to the gym.

00:55:54.963 --> 00:55:57.492
It takes willpower to make that decision.

00:55:57.773 --> 00:56:02.402
And then if someone gives you, like you said, a list of stuff, you're gonna be like, Oh God, come on.

00:56:03.213 --> 00:56:03.722
Right.

00:56:04.032 --> 00:56:06.623
And, uh, Just speaking on willpower, right?

00:56:07.978 --> 00:56:10.407
Get rid of all the bad stuff in your pantry.

00:56:11.557 --> 00:56:12.708
So you don't have to look at it.

00:56:13.438 --> 00:56:13.987
That's one of the

00:56:14.117 --> 00:56:14.338
Yeah,

00:56:14.617 --> 00:56:15.237
that I heard.

00:56:16.557 --> 00:56:19.307
Is there one thing that, like, like that, right?

00:56:19.307 --> 00:56:24.597
Getting rid of all the food in your pantry that is against your diet.

00:56:24.657 --> 00:56:28.918
Is there anything like that that you suggest to uh, increase willpower?

00:56:29.807 --> 00:56:40.838
well, I like the way you said and I think it's even more interesting If you could have that food stuff there or that non food rather And not eat it.

00:56:41.217 --> 00:56:42.237
That's what's real.

00:56:42.257 --> 00:56:46.688
That's where the power is at That you don't have to use willpower

00:56:49.248 --> 00:56:55.708
And are some things that you do to help people build up that willpower instead of just saying, you know what?

00:56:55.807 --> 00:56:56.507
Good luck.

00:56:58.277 --> 00:57:00.307
We're not working with willpower

00:57:01.277 --> 00:57:01.827
Interesting.

00:57:01.927 --> 00:57:03.268
with awareness of consciousness

00:57:04.027 --> 00:57:05.108
Hmm.

00:57:05.793 --> 00:57:08.273
the need for the use of willpower.

00:57:09.117 --> 00:57:09.597
Hmm.

00:57:09.628 --> 00:57:16.557
And then maybe what's, can you give us some examples of how you help with awareness and conscious versus willpower?

00:57:17.007 --> 00:57:17.538
Willpower?

00:57:18.893 --> 00:57:32.552
Yes When you're using conscious awareness, you're finally understanding Why you eat certain things, why you don't like certain things, how things really feel in your body.

00:57:33.163 --> 00:57:54.702
Because a lot of times you don't even notice because We humans have an interesting capacity to eat Mindlessly Right, and it came from us being in the wild, we would run into a bush, and we were eating, eating, eating whatever fruits were there, but we had to be on the lookout.

00:57:55.663 --> 00:57:58.722
Because if we weren't on the lookout, we became food!

00:57:58.998 --> 00:58:01.148
Mm Hmm.

00:58:01.172 --> 00:58:08.072
have this ability just not even notice we're eating after the third bite.

00:58:08.472 --> 00:58:16.083
We're just like, whatever, I don't even know how to finish that! Yeah.

00:58:16.958 --> 00:58:33.793
trying to, yeah, you know, it reminds me of um, just seeing animals eating and uh, whether it's a bird or squirrel, like each time they take a bite of something, they're looking around, they take another bite, they're looking around and I get stressed looking at them, you know?

00:58:34.643 --> 00:58:35.092
Uh.

00:58:35.503 --> 00:58:41.902
So it makes, it makes sense where the power of, uh, being aware and slowing down.

00:58:42.023 --> 00:58:50.813
And I think that's like, that's that transition from animal to human, that, that self awareness, that situational awareness and no longer the need.

00:58:51.282 --> 00:58:54.983
To be in that survival mode, which changes everything.

00:58:54.983 --> 00:59:08.762
It's almost like, very interesting how the body, the human body is well adapted or designed, if anything, to thrive in that environment of not being in survival mode, which is very interesting.

00:59:09.197 --> 00:59:10.427
Right, right.

00:59:11.137 --> 00:59:16.697
And that's like, that's what make, if that, that would probably be a key to the human diet.

00:59:17.387 --> 00:59:23.907
That's different from the animal diet in comparison, which is, I think, huge to be honest.

00:59:23.938 --> 00:59:29.128
Um, I don't think we give that credit, uh, that, the credit it deserves.

00:59:29.398 --> 00:59:30.927
Which, awesome.

00:59:30.938 --> 00:59:32.128
Yeah, willpower.

00:59:32.128 --> 00:59:32.557
I agree.

00:59:33.918 --> 00:59:35.378
Um, well, that's it.

00:59:35.922 --> 00:59:37.663
Thank you for coming on today.

00:59:37.663 --> 00:59:38.663
This was pretty cool.

00:59:38.663 --> 00:59:41.012
I hope we provided.

00:59:41.032 --> 00:59:48.862
I know we provide a lot of value and you came to the plate and you stepped up and you've, I mean, we went through the whole year in a conversation.

00:59:49.913 --> 00:59:51.922
Um, I was hoping we would be able to do that.

00:59:51.922 --> 00:59:52.893
So that's pretty cool.

00:59:53.222 --> 00:59:59.023
And uh, ending off with willpower versus um, self awareness and giving yourself time to eat,

00:59:59.632 --> 01:00:01.793
Yes, conscious eating is very important.

01:00:03.762 --> 01:00:05.773
for coming on the show, Maria.

01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:06.760

And one last tip for your audience.

01:00:11.902 --> 01:00:12.913

Which aren't real.
