This video, titled "Demystifying Detox," explains why detoxification is important for overall health and how our bodies are naturally designed to detoxify, but are often overloaded by modern toxins. The speaker, Deb Ford, details the liver's crucial role in detoxification, outlining its two phases and discussing common symptoms of toxicity. She also highlights foods and activities that either contribute to toxic buildup or assist the body's natural cleansing processes, providing practical tips for safe and effective detoxing.
Key Takeaways
1
The body is designed to restore and repair itself, but modern lifestyles and environmental toxins often break biological rules, leading to chronic health conditions.
2
Detoxification is a crucial aspect of wellness and disease prevention, helping the body function optimally, leading to clearer thinking, more energy, and a better appearance.
3
Toxicity can be acute, from short-term exposure, or chronic, from repeated long-term exposure to substances like pesticides, food additives, and chemical cleaners.
4
The body naturally eliminates toxins through the liver, kidneys, intestinal tract, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin, but this process can be overloaded by constant exposure to environmental chemicals.
5
The liver detoxifies in two phases, converting fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble compounds that can then be eliminated from the body.
6
The liver is considered the 'master organ' in traditional Chinese medicine, crucial not only for detoxification but also for enzyme production, bile production, hormone balance, and nutrient storage.
7
Symptoms of toxicity can include unexplained fatigue, sluggish elimination, irritated skin, allergies, low-grade infections, puffy eyes, bloating, menstrual problems, and mental confusion.
8
Obesogens, which are endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in many daily products, interfere with hormones and can lead to weight gain by tampering with hunger mechanisms and liver function.
9
Key steps for detoxing include removing processed foods and excess protein, and incorporating liver-supporting herbs like milk thistle, lots of organic fruits and vegetables, and pure water.
10
Important techniques to aid detoxification include consuming plenty of fiber, taking extra vitamin C, deep breathing, sweating, dry brushing, and getting adequate sleep to allow the brain to cleanse itself.

the body has certain biological rules
1:05
and our modern society is breaking so
1:08
many of them and
1:08
our health is suffering we we see an
1:11
explosion in
1:12
chronic health conditions caused by diet
1:14
and lifestyle issues
1:16
we're breaking the rules of biology
1:18
today it seems normal
1:20
for people to take a handful of drugs
1:22
that is not normal
1:23
health is the norm the body is really
1:26
designed to beautifully
1:28
restore and repair itself i really
1:31
believe that and i mean
1:32
biology proves it you just have to give
1:34
the body what it needs
1:36
and then let it remove the bad things
1:38
and then let your own biology go into
1:41
clean up fix-up mode
1:43
we have an amazing body and it is
1:45
designed to
1:46
heal and repair i think we've been
1:48
absolutely brainwashed into thinking it
1:51
is normal to take
1:52
drugs the natural state of the body is
1:55
health
1:55
not disease so there's a chat anytime
1:59
you have questions just put it in the
2:00
chat i'll get them to
2:02
get to them at the end but let's get
2:05
started here
2:06
i am so happy you're here to learn about
2:09
detoxification
2:10
i'm going to make it pretty
2:11
straightforward most of it really easy
2:14
as i'm going to show you that our body
2:16
is naturally designed to do this
2:18
so i kind of think we're health warriors
2:20
here you know you want health
2:22
you're willing to work for it and today
2:25
you want to learn
2:26
about detoxification what it is how to

2:30
because detox is a crucial aspect of
2:34

2:37
when your body is functioning optimally
2:41

2:43

2:44
look your best so today you're going to
2:47
learn why you want to detox how to detox
2:49
safely
2:50
and lastly foods and activities that
2:53
either contribute to toxic buildup
2:55
or aid in your body getting rid of or
2:57
detoxifying it
2:59
alrighty ready okay so
3:03
in order to really understand how to
3:05
detoxify let's begin by talking about
3:07
toxicity
3:08
technically the definition of toxicity
3:11
is quote
3:12
it is the degree to which a substance
3:14
either a toxin
3:15
or a poison can cause harm and medically
3:19
there's two distinctions
3:20
of toxicity you've got first the acute
3:23
toxicity
3:24
and that environment involves harmful
3:27
effects
3:28
in an organism our body through a single
3:31
or short-term exposure it can be a blast
3:34
of something
3:35
like a single dose of spoiled food and
3:37
you know how
3:38
that can make you sick so that's acute
3:40
on the other hand there's also the
3:42
chronic toxicity
3:43
and that is the ability of substance or
3:46
mixture of substance to cause
3:48
harmful effects over an extended period
3:50
of time
3:51
repeated or continuous exposure
3:53
sometimes over the lifetime
3:55
so this could be our exposure to
3:57
pesticides herbicides food additives
3:59
food preservatives
4:00
chemical cleaners cosmetics you know
4:02
everything in our society today we have
4:05
a lot
4:06
of chronic exposures
4:09
the natural the body's natural
4:12
elimination process for detoxification
4:14
is done
4:15
by removing impurities from the
4:18
bloodstream
4:19
in the liver that's where the toxins are
4:22
processed for elimination
4:24
your body also eliminates toxins through
4:26
the kidneys
4:27
through the intestinal tract the lungs
4:29
the lymphatic system
4:30
and even the skin when you sweat we are
4:33
designed
4:34
to detox by so many different pathways
4:36
but today when you are
4:38
bombarded continually with all these
4:41
environmental
4:42
toxins all these chemicals it overloads
4:45
and slows down this detox process so
4:48
detoxification is about resting
4:52
cleansing and nourishing from the inside
4:54
out
4:55
the body's really resilient i'm a real
4:57
believer in that
4:59
it is designed to repair and to remove
5:01
these toxins
5:02
but we were never designed to
5:05
be exposed to all the things that we're
5:08
exposed to today
5:09
we're designed to get rid of metabolic
5:10
waste and maybe an occasional toxin
5:13
but about a hundred years ago or so
5:15
especially at the end of world war
5:17
ii when german chemical warfare was
5:20
found to also kill bugs on our crops
5:22
it saved farmers a lot of time and money
5:25
but that was the explosion
5:26
of a lot of chemicals in our environment
5:29
some good
5:30
some we've got to learn how to get out
5:32
of our system
5:33
and out of our environment each
5:35
generation is affected more
5:37
exposures accumulate they escalate and
5:40
the disease rate is climbing
5:42
too many believe detoxing can help
5:45
prevent disease
5:47
by removing a lot of these toxins and
5:49
then nourishing your body
5:51
with healthy healthy nutrients that it
5:53
needs to
5:54
complete the elimination process so
5:57
the goal of any detox program is to
6:00
really help
6:01
your body's natural process and we need
6:04
to temporarily reduce the strain on the
6:06
body
6:07
to enhance this process so we do this in
6:09
topics i'm going to cover here today
6:11
first one is resting the organs
6:15
sometimes through fasting but more more
6:17
probably
6:18
through just light eating second thing
6:21
stimulate the liver to drive toxins out
6:23
of the body
6:24
third thing promote elimination through
6:26
all those pathways
6:28
not not just the liver but the
6:29
intestines the lungs the kidneys
6:31
lymphatics and the skin
6:33
fourth thing to improve circulation of
6:35
the blood
6:36
and finally sorry about that refueling
6:40
the body with healthy nutrients so
6:44
this is how it works and my doggy is
6:48
upset so some of the common symptoms of
6:52
toxicity
6:53
include but are not limited to
6:56
unexplained fatigue it's not b12 it's
6:58
not iron
6:59
not thyroid you're just tired sluggish
7:01
elimination
7:02
constipation irritated skin allergies
7:06
low-grade infection puffy eyes chinese
7:09
always said that the puffy eyes under
7:11
the puff the bags under the eyes that's
7:13
kidney kidney being bogged down but also
7:15
could be bloating menstrual problems
7:17
mental confusion so if you have any of
7:19
these you might want to consider
7:20
a detox program
7:24
so let's look at how this all happens
7:28
and we have to look at the liver because
7:29
it's got the amazing process going on
7:32
happens through basically two phases
7:36
called simply phase one and phase two
7:38
okay pretty simple isn't it
7:40
so phase one and phase two our
7:43
understanding of it has not really
7:44
changed for a long time
7:46
drug companies have done a lot of
7:47
research on this and it's simply the way
7:50
your body converts
7:51
fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble
7:54
compounds
7:55
that then the body can get rid of gets a
7:57
little geeky here
7:58
but bear with me because it's really
8:00
good you're going to know
8:02
some real gems here so in phase one
8:06
that's where you've got the cytochrome
8:08
p450 enzymes
8:10
that's why they tell you not to drink
8:11
grapefruit juice when you take certain
8:13
meds
8:13
okay so these 57 enzymes
8:17
in phase one transform those fat soluble
8:20
toxins into water-soluble toxins
8:23
so the body can get rid of them easier
8:25
they're responsible
8:26
you know for all the drug interactions
8:28
so this is why it is so
8:30
well researched in phase two those
8:33
toxins that were created in phase one
8:35
are then kind of combined and eliminated
8:39
so basically the only thing you need to
8:41
know is phase one converts to water
8:43
soluble
8:44
phase two combines them and gets them
8:48
out through
8:48
some form of excretion so phase one and
8:52
phase two
8:52
kind of need to be balanced you don't
8:54
want to overload one so that
8:56
two really gets bogged down so we want
8:58
to have all those things
9:00
successfully balanced so that they can
9:03
eliminated all these
9:04
sometimes our body's not equipped to
9:06
detoxify toxins all on their own
9:08
so that's why supplements are sometimes
9:10
important
9:11
um i i really depend on them i love some
9:14
of these
9:15
one of my favorites that we'll talk
9:17
about later
9:18
or you can ask me at another time is
9:20
nutri clear plus
9:21
it is really designed to heal up leaky
9:23
gut ii it incorporates a lot of
9:26
ayurvedic and traditional chinese
9:27
medicine
9:29
my favorites you know and according to
9:31
traditional chinese medicine
9:32
the root cause of the majority of
9:35
imbalances in the body
9:36
is liver dysfunction it's known as the
9:39
master
9:39
organ and the causative factor of many
9:42
of the body's ailments
9:44
you know so we know the liver helps with
9:47
detoxification
9:48
but it also makes enzymes it produces
9:51
bile
9:51
it is important for hormone production
9:54
immune cell activation
9:55
and the storage of a lot of vitamins and
9:58
minerals
9:59
that we use later so the liver boy i
10:02
mean it's
10:03
everything in fact the body so treasures
10:06
the liver that all the nutrients go
10:08
there first
10:09
really interesting just kind of a
10:11
sideline an interesting area of research
10:13
is the liver is benefited by what we
10:16
call diaphragmatic breathing
10:18
you know normally we breathe real
10:19
shallow but when you do the deep
10:21
belly breathing every time the diaphragm
10:24
goes down and back
10:25
up it is actually massaging the liver
10:27
and helping with
10:28
bile production and bile is really
10:32
important because that lubricates the
10:34
intestines
10:36
eliminates constipation also bile breaks
10:39
down
10:39
fats so not only is it important for
10:42
your fat soluble vitamins
10:44
but it's essential for weight loss bio
10:47
also transports toxins out of the liver
10:50
into the gut
10:51
keeps everything flowing so if bile
10:54
stops flowing properly
10:56
that's when you get gall stones they're
10:58
made from cholesterol gallstones so
11:00
now bile can't be produced in an
11:03
unhealthy liver
11:04
so some of the simple um things that if
11:08
if you've got these symptoms it could be
11:10
low
11:11
bile output so that could be gas and
11:14
bloating
11:14
and constipation it could be leaky gut
11:16
that we talked about
11:17
in the other webinar it could be
11:19
hemorrhoids you know that
11:20
is a big symptom pms or other hormone
11:24
irritability sleeplessness poor fat
11:27
digestion if you see
11:28
a little skim of fat in the stool or any
11:31
irregular stool habits
11:33
can be in part due to bile
11:36
inadequacy liver central to
11:39
detoxification
11:40
a lot's going on in the liver i want to
11:43
show you this
11:44
you know you might want to take a
11:45
screenshot of it
11:47
if you really want to know but it's why
11:50
i love a good healthy diet because when
11:53
you look at this
11:54
all the nutrients that are involved in
11:56
phase one and phase
11:58
two i mean it diet is everything
12:02
when it comes to that proper
12:04
detoxification
12:05
yeah i love this slide so and amazingly
12:08
um
12:09
so detox is not a new discovery
12:12
for centuries cultures around the world
12:15
have practiced detoxification
12:17
you know it's been part of many of the
12:19
old religions and they've had health
12:21
benefits
12:22
so some of the things that most people
12:24
experience with a good detox
12:27
clearer skin weight loss easily
12:30
increased immunity lessen cravings food
12:33
intolerance
12:35
relief improvement clarity and
12:38
the sense of well-being it just helps
12:42
with mood and anxiety
12:44
elimination of excess waste more energy
12:46
you know
12:47
before you think sound that detoxing
12:49
sounds too good to be true
12:51
i gotta tell you it takes work but the
12:53
effort you put in
12:55
is gonna give you the results you're
12:56
looking for but you gotta be
12:59
willing to work for it and i think you
13:00
have to be a little bit of a detective
13:02
too
13:03
some of the worst toxins are odorless
13:07
and tasteless you never know they're
13:10
there okay
13:15
all righty so some of those
13:18
are chemicals in clothing and furniture
13:20
and cleaning supplies and
13:22
cosmetics and they're kind of obvious
13:24
they contain
13:25
[Music]
13:27
xenobiotics
13:29
so xenobiotics are just a scientific
13:32
term for anything that's foreign that
13:33
comes into the body
13:34
you know and we have an onslaught of
13:38
xenobiotics
13:39
entering our food supply poisoning our
13:42
lakes
13:42
our rivers they're finding in our way
13:45
into cookware and clothing
13:46
and even your body even manufactures
13:49
them when
13:50
you've got an overload in the metabolic
13:52
processes
13:53
and even psychological toxins when
13:56
you're exposed to a lot of chronic
13:57
stress or emotional trauma
13:59
they cause real issues in the body i've
14:01
seen and i'm sure you have too you've
14:03
seen
14:03
a lot of fatal diseases that were
14:06
triggered by a lot of trauma
14:08
but xenobiotics affect even the purest
14:11
freshest of us the red cross
14:14
came up with this research they found
14:16
that the average newborn baby
14:18
has 287 chemicals in their umbilical
14:21
cord
14:22
217 are neurotoxic meaning that they are
14:25
poisonous to nerves and nerve cells
14:28
consider how
14:29
you may be exposed to a lot of these in
14:31
your body you know the cleaning products
14:33
use the candles you burn
14:34
the products you put on your skin the
14:36
food you put in your body i mean
14:37
we've talked about a lot of those in the
14:40
last webinars
14:41
many of the foods we eat aren't really
14:43
food they're merely food like substances
14:46
you know they call them franken foods or
14:48
fake foods but it's you know they've got
14:50
ingredient lists
14:51
this long when it should just be mashed
14:54
potatoes
14:55
yeah that's crazy oh here we go
14:59
okay okay so top offenders
15:04
you know even healthy looking fruits and
15:05
vegetables can be
15:08
just laden with pesticides
15:11
but then sugar sugar substitutes gluten
15:14
we've covered that a lot that's very
15:15
irritating we covered that a lot in the
15:17
leaky gut webinar
15:18
but caffeine dairy meat
15:21
processed food a lot of these put loads
15:24
on the body
15:25
and of course soda we we covered that a
15:27
lot in the first one the case against
15:29
sugar webinar
15:30
and you can always go to my website
15:32
debford.com if you want to listen to
15:33
that one
15:34
i mean is sugar is everywhere and it's
15:36
like the worst
15:39
okay so number of nasty health outcomes
15:43
associated with the western diet so poor
15:46
overall dietary intake linked to a lot
15:49
of chronic diseases
15:50
you know things you don't think about
15:52
but are not normal
15:54
cardiovascular disease and after i think
15:57
it was
15:57
vietnam war that's when they started
15:59
seeing cholesterol deposits
16:01
in young people coincided with the
16:04
advent of junk food never seen that
16:06
before
16:07
type 2 of diabetes obesity inflammatory
16:10
many types of cancer osteoporosis even
16:13
brain fog
16:14
and brain issues when we look at how the
16:17
brain detoxifies
16:18
it's important to understand how it
16:20
becomes toxic in the first place
16:23
so you get this buildup in cellular
16:26
waste
16:26
pesticides herbicides and neurotoxins
16:29
that can
16:30
damage the brain and the central nervous
16:32
system
16:33
then you've got heavy metals like lead
16:35
and mercury and cadmium
16:36
and aluminum and copper you can't
16:38
imagine that that is in our environment
16:41
but we've got a lot of them
16:42
and then you've got the artificial
16:44
sweeteners like aspartame and nutrasweet
16:46
and equal and you know they're
16:47
considered
16:48
excitotoxins which means that they also
16:51
can damage the brain and the nervous
16:54
system
16:55
thankfully the body is got magnificent
16:59
systems
16:59
to detoxify but we really need to take
17:02
steps to avoid
17:04
neurotoxins and to give our brains the
17:06
best chance
17:07
of detoxifying i'll go into this a
17:10
little bit deeper but one of the
17:11
essential ways
17:13
to do that is through sleep we're going
17:15
to discuss
17:16
exactly how sleeps helps detoxify the
17:19
brain
17:19
but first let's do the basics
17:23
so how do we even know that bad
17:26
that processed food is bad for us simply
17:28
whenever we
17:29
export our western diet whenever
17:32
a more primitive culture adopts our diet
17:36
they get sick sad diet is what they
17:38
actually call it in research
17:40
yeah sad standard american diet
17:43
is so sad the processed foods that i'm
17:46
talking about are chemically processed
17:48
made from artificial ingredients they
17:49
got a list this long
17:51
you know and it's it's yeah it's the
17:53
sugar it's the high fructose corn syrup
17:55
a lot of time has mercury in it it's the
17:57
artificial preservatives the colorings
17:59
the flavor enhancers
18:00
the texturings and even refined
18:02
carbohydrates the ones
18:04
that make your insulin and blood sugar
18:07
spike
18:08
processed foods are engineered
18:11
for over consumption and addiction they
18:14
use
18:15
functional mri machines to assure
18:18
their food products are going to be
18:20
irresistible
18:22
not fair shouldn't be legal in short our
18:24
bodies are not designed to handle the
18:26
massive amounts of this stuff and the
18:28
chemicals besides
18:30
so it's coming at us from so many
18:32
directions
18:35
some pretty amazing results have been
18:38
reported by
18:40
detoxers including weight loss but when
18:42
it comes to the causation
18:44
of obesity one consideration that is
18:48
is often overlooked is the impact of all
18:50
these artificial chemical compounds
18:53
that disrupt and interfere with the
18:54
body's ability to detoxify
18:56
one of them is called the endocrine
18:59
disrupting chemicals
19:00
edc is for short think heaven these are
19:02
chemicals that interfere
19:04
with lots of hormones in our body in
19:07
animal studies
19:08
you know not only the reproductive
19:10
hormones but other things but it is
19:12
associated with infertility and
19:14
endometriosis and
19:16
and a lot in male hormones when these
19:19
edcs disrupt
19:20
particular endocrine systems also known
19:23
as adipose tissue
19:25
in fact that is fat cells it interferes
19:28
with the mechanisms
19:29
that are in those cells and they cause
19:31
weight gain that's why they're called
19:33
obesogens these chemicals are found in
19:36
things
19:36
that you're exposed to daily herbicides
19:39
pesticides industrial household
19:41
products plastics detergents
19:44
flame retardants that are in your
19:47
couches in your
19:48
bedding even cosmetics and shampoos
19:51
eating clean and avoiding
19:53
all these pesticides and hormones and
19:55
antibiotics and foods
19:56
can be kind of obvious but some things
19:59
you don't think about it's more than
20:00
just a calorie issue it is actually
20:03
these obesogens
20:05
that tamper with the hunger mechanisms
20:07
and your liver function
20:09
so they can actually make you hungrier
20:11
and heavier
20:13
other obesogens we've heard about bpa
20:16
bisphenol a and the phthalates they're
20:19
in
20:19
like a lot of your plastics because they
20:21
make them kind of softer
20:23
other compounds are perfluorochemicals
20:27
the non-stick kind of thing you know
20:29
they're going to be in a lot of your
20:31
electrical wiring a lot of automotive
20:33
parts
20:33
but also things that come in contact
20:36
with your food
20:37
that non-stick coating on pots and pans
20:40
and even if you buy
20:42
microwave popcorn it's on the inside of
20:44
that so it doesn't stick
20:45
and a lot of other food packaging a
20:47
really essential movie
20:49
that i think everybody should watch is a
20:52
real
20:52
true life story of how dupont poisoned
20:56
ohio town
20:57
they've lost billions in fines
21:01
then they went downstream and went to
21:03
west virginia they're doing the same
21:04
thing
21:05
so you know watch that movie and let's
21:08
talk so
21:09
obesity is not just about what you're
21:11
eating how much you're eating
21:12
but it's also also about how the food is
21:15
packaged cooked
21:16
stored so you got to pay close attention
21:19
to your containers only use
21:20
glass never use plastic your cookware
21:24
and also your bedding and everything
21:25
you're exposed to
21:27
and never never never use plastic
21:31
for your water bottles it is not just
21:34
bpa the latest research shows
21:37
that it is all plastics not the bpa that
21:40
we should be avoiding
21:42
you know in a refined sugar you know
21:44
it's not
21:45
just a sweetener but it is one of the
21:48
things that is not classified in
21:49
outright toxin
21:51
narcotic or poison but oh my gosh it is
21:54
so addictive
21:55
and it ages you faster it breaks down
21:57
your cells
21:58
it is sugar dependency is huge
22:02
but once you get away from it i can
22:04
guarantee you
22:05
things that did not stay sweet before
22:09
like bell peppers and carrots and beets
22:11
are actually going
22:12
to be delicious and you're going to love
22:15
it and not be so tempted by
22:17
all those other things that are so
22:20
prevalent in our society
22:22
so next step after we remove all that
22:25
the next step
22:26
is to remove excess protein while
22:29
detoxifying
22:30
while temporarily cutting back on animal
22:32
products and increasing your fruits and
22:34
vegetables
22:35
your body goes into cleansing mode and
22:37
gets rid of a lot of the accumulated
22:39
toxins
22:40
so things that you're going to notice
22:42
when you do this reduced inflammation
22:44
reduce cholesterol
22:46
and it rebalances the healthy gut flora
22:49
you do not have to be full on vegetarian
22:52
to get results
22:53
but it is a recommended to cut back on
22:56
meat
22:57
and avoid dairy for the short detox
23:00
because meat does slow down digestion
23:02
and it does not promote healthy bacteria
23:05
growth in your gut
23:06
milk and cheese and other dairy products
23:08
are also super acidic
23:10
and and that reduces the cell function
23:13
and it slows down detoxification
23:15
the pancreas has to release a lot of
23:16
bicarbonate to alkalize this acid state
23:20
and excess protein protein is really
23:22
acidifying whereas vegetables are
23:24
alkalizing
23:25
and vegetables build bone so
23:28
little changes can mean a lot
23:32
okay so now that you have a better idea
23:35
about how to do the detox
23:37
let's look a little bit closer because
23:38
nature is
23:40
filled with herbs that have a lot of
23:43
healing properties
23:44
many of which are perfect for
23:46
detoxification especially
23:48
this time of year spring is the ultimate
23:51
perfect time for detoxification
23:53
always had has been so milk thistle
23:56
effective herb in the detoxification and
23:59
protection
24:00
of the liver in a wide range of studies
24:03
milk thistle has been bound to be
24:05
a potent antioxidant enhances protein
24:08
synthesis
24:09
and it really builds anti-inflammatory
24:13
pathways a real basic
24:14
then there is piccariza cura that is
24:17
rich in lots of anti-inflammatories
24:20
phytochemicals antioxidants
24:22
these picrocides actually regulate the
24:26
detoxifying enzymes
24:28
and are really well known to help
24:30
protect the liver
24:31
and also the respiratory system
24:34
andrographis has really come into its
24:36
own here in the last few years
24:38
it used to be called green kyreta and
24:41
it's
24:41
kind of considered a heal all or good
24:43
for so many things
24:45
and it's perfect in a d detox program
24:47
then you have
24:49
elliptica barbarus you've got tennospora
24:52
you've got indian barbarian there's so
24:54
many that you know ayurvedic and and
24:57
um traditional chinese herbs are in that
25:00
and it they're all in nutri clear that
25:02
is why i
25:03
love it and besides it's designed to
25:05
heal up the leaky gut
25:06
so detoxing is not just about counting
25:10
calories
25:11
but also removing the offenders and
25:13
including all of those good things in
25:16
your green vegetables and other
25:18
vegetables i say eat the organic
25:20
rainbow fruits especially the colorful
25:24
ones
25:24
lots of pure water good nutrients and
25:27
vitamins
25:28
legumes not peanuts lots of tree nuts
25:31
and seeds herbal teas if you need to
25:34
sweeten
25:35
i would go with stevia or monk fruit or
25:37
just a smidge of honey
25:38
not too much so so
25:42
more of the good so when it comes to
25:44
detoxing
25:45
many options are available um detoxing
25:48
programs can last anywhere
25:50
from two to three days to an entire
25:52
month
25:53
fasting programs should be done with
25:56
a lot of care and for very short
25:59
duration you don't want to
26:00
overwhelm the detox pathway so fasting
26:04
is you know it's i you need to really be
26:07
careful with that but
26:08
a three to seven day juice fast where
26:10
you're just eating lots of vegetable and
26:12
fruit juices and water
26:14
can be a great way to just lighten
26:17
things up
26:18
and help release toxins from the body
26:20
however this type of detox may not be
26:23
the best for beginners you might want to
26:25
go with maybe one day two day
26:27
the longer duration detoxes that you may
26:29
want to consider
26:31
is just going all vegetables and all
26:33
fruit for one
26:34
another one could be a smoothie cleanse
26:37
over a weekend
26:38
another one could be a juice cleanse
26:41
over a weekend
26:42
a sugar detox that we've talked about
26:44
and we had challenges on you can do that
26:46
forever
26:47
then there's the hypoallergenic diet
26:49
that's kind of like the elimination diet
26:51
i'll love that that really is going to
26:53
help heal up the gut
26:54
and provide a lot of structure so
26:58
if you need any help with that just let
27:00
me know i'd be more than happy to
27:02
guide you through it
27:05
but first of all you set your goal you
27:08
plan
27:08
your preparing okay that is the most
27:11
important thing
27:12
so first of all we want to identify your
27:15
goal
27:16
you want to be sure that you are
27:19
tracking what you want to succeed in so
27:22
for example
27:22
if your goal is weight loss you gotta
27:25
weigh in measure yourself
27:26
if your goal is to get rid of headaches
27:29
document the duration
27:30
intensity frequency and all the things
27:33
surrounding
27:34
that discomfort if your goal is better
27:37
digestive function
27:39
then you know keep a chart track it down
27:42
how you ate
27:43
how you felt before and after how your
27:45
elimination is working
27:46
if you're using it to de-stress and help
27:48
help your moods
27:50
map out how you feel throughout the day
27:52
and after you meet different things
27:54
you know you need help measuring your
27:56
success let me know
27:58
most important thing is preparation if i
28:02
had a
28:02
nickel for every time somebody told me
28:04
planning
28:05
was the reason their week went well i
28:08
could retire
28:09
not that i want to but i could planning
28:12
is the key next most important thing
28:16
is to prepare the kitchen you know you
28:19
want to go through the kitchen and clean
28:21
out all the toxic food
28:23
go through your pantry your refrigerator
28:24
cabinets baskets remove
28:26
anything processed sugary caffeinated
28:30
letting go is a really good feeling
28:33
donate the unopened foods to
28:35
you know food pantry or someplace you
28:38
you know if you don't want to throw it
28:39
out but
28:40
you know you don't want to have that
28:42
stuff around because you are going to
28:43
tend to go back to it then you need to
28:45
gather a few recipes i'm going to share
28:47
some
28:48
in the class so be ready to take a
28:50
screenshot so you can um
28:53
you know you won't have time to jot it
28:55
all down so just take a screenshot
28:57
or you know let me know that you
28:59
couldn't get it all and i'll make sure
29:00
you get it so
29:01
then you have to do uh create a shopping
29:03
list making
29:04
you know the trip to the store easier
29:07
and shopping
29:08
the perimeter you really have very few
29:10
reasons to go down any of those
29:12
aisles that's going to save you a lot of
29:14
time and you're going to be surprised it
29:16
is going to save you
29:17
money too okay next thing you want to
29:20
make sure your pantry is then
29:22
fully stocked with everything you're
29:25
going to need
29:25
one of the causes of eating poorly is
29:28
just not
29:29
having time to prepare healthy snacks
29:31
and meals
29:32
you know you can avoid this with a
29:34
little bit of food prep
29:35
so once you get that food home prepare
29:38
it before you put away
29:39
you're a lot more likely to eat cut up
29:41
carrots and berries and things like that
29:43
if they're already put together if your
29:46
veggies are already peeled and diced
29:48
you know it's easy to eat them but oh
29:50
gosh if they're in the crisper and way
29:51
down there and you got to clean them
29:53
you're going to be more likely to grab
29:54
something that's unhealthy
29:56
simply out of convenience trust me
29:59
okay every morning start your day
30:03
with a glass of warm lemon water
30:06
half a lemon squeezed into fresh pure
30:09
warm water
30:10
that is going to stimulate digestion for
30:12
the whole day
30:13
clears out the body of toxins and then
30:16
after that drink
30:17
chilled lemon water throughout the day i
30:20
love lemon water
30:21
it supports the immune system it
30:23
alkalizes the body even though it seems
30:26
citric acid it really alkalizes it aids
30:29
digestion
30:29
clears the skin promotes healing you
30:32
just
30:33
feel so much lighter and better
30:36
okay smoothies get ready to screenshot
30:38
here
30:39
they can be packed with nutrition and
30:42
they can also make a really good
30:44
meal plus you can hide all sorts of
30:47
additives in here a lot of good stuff
30:49
but don't make it too heavy we want to
30:51
keep it light we don't want to overload
30:53
so you can do spinach or a handful of
30:55
greens chia seeds or other good fiber
30:58
like flax and hemp and psyllium
31:00
some fruit strawberries or other berries
31:02
a little bit of protein powder like
31:04
pea or pumpkin protein powder about 20
31:07
grams
31:08
and then a little bit of fat like
31:09
avocado olive
31:11
coconut oil or flax oil so here is a
31:14
really good
31:16
green detox smoothie you're going to
31:18
need a blender
31:19
but here it is it's got your greens it's
31:21
got your fruits it's got
31:22
you know your your ginger in there which
31:25
is going to be anti-inflammatory
31:27
great cleansing you know put in about 12
31:30
ounces of water
31:32
and you are good juices on the other
31:35
hand
31:36
can be extremely cleansing without the
31:38
fiber
31:39
you know and the best option really is
31:41
to make your own
31:43
store-bought canned you got to be
31:45
careful
31:46
you know there's some you you can buy
31:48
like beet juice and apple juice that's
31:50
not loaded
31:51
but most of them are going to be loaded
31:53
with a lot of refined sugar
31:54
and really lack the nutrients that you
31:56
need so i love
31:58
this ultimate green detox juice
32:02
where you just have vegetables you've
32:04
got your celery and your cucumber and
32:06
your kale
32:07
oh my gosh the nutrients in there are
32:09
fantastic
32:10
it is really green okay
32:14
then liver supporting foods that i would
32:17
include
32:18
bitter greens like arugula dandelion
32:22
milk thistle berries and my favorite
32:25
beet root juice so good for the liver
32:28
ginseng
32:28
also can promote a little good healthy
32:31
liver and bile production
32:32
but to get the most bang for your buck
32:34
look for teas that have a lot of these
32:36
in them
32:37
and then you know you if if you don't
32:38
like them if they're a little bitter put
32:40
them in a tea that you do like
32:42
i like to use peppermint as the base and
32:45
then just add a bunch of things in there
32:47
drink warm or let cool pour over ice
32:51
one that you can buy i like is biota
32:54
beet juice
32:55
i put it in a little little wine glass
32:57
and it's like such a treat it is
32:59
absolutely delicious and i never used to
33:02
like beets
33:03
soup soups are especially soothing
33:06
during a detox
33:08
and you can get a well-balanced meal by
33:10
adding a little bit of fats some complex
33:12
carb nut seeds herbs
33:14
but this is a detox veggie soup which is
33:17
great to just drink over the weekend or
33:21
if you're doing like an enhanced detox i
33:24
love it
33:24
do you want to do a screenshot here real
33:27
quick
33:27
um i'll leave it up for a second but you
33:30
can see how
33:31
i mean it's just got lots of good things
33:33
in it
33:34
i always recommend getting as much
33:36
organic as possible
33:39
always go to the environmental working
33:42
group
33:43
to find out the clean 15 and the dirty
33:45
dozen
33:46
that way if you know you're on a budget
33:48
which we all are
33:49
you want to stay with the clean 15 and
33:52
budget
33:53
for the dirty dozen to make sure you buy
33:55
those organically
33:57
love it um you know and there's there is
34:00
you can get a lot
34:01
of organic things local
34:04
but if you have a hard time getting to
34:07
the grocery
34:08
and you want to have good healthy
34:11
vegetables
34:12
at your doorstep there are several
34:17
websites there are several places that
34:19
you can get these
34:20
just delivered to your door one is
34:23
misfits
34:24
and the other is farmer box where
34:27
that's that's where i've been getting
34:28
things recently and i
34:30
just every other week i get a box of
34:32
organic beautiful vegetables
34:35
delivered to my doorsteps coming today
34:36
so i i think
34:38
anytime you've got a barrier to taking
34:41
good care of yourself
34:42
you got to figure out a way around that
34:44
and if getting to the grocery
34:46
is the problem then you gotta get that
34:49
figured out
34:51
okay so uh any questions with that just
34:54
let me know
34:55
and we'll we'll tackle them in the
35:00
chats okay so additional techniques
35:04
to aid your detox first of all we want
35:08
to have plenty of fiber
35:09
you don't want to be adding a lot of
35:12
toxins
35:13
to your bloodstream and then have no
35:16
place for them to go
35:17
so we want to have fiber so you may want
35:19
to have brown
35:20
rice you want to have lots of vegetables
35:23
beets and radishes
35:24
whole foods there that are going to be
35:27
great at
35:28
aiding detoxification and then if you
35:31
really want to regenerate brain tissue
35:33
some interesting research on
35:35
electromagnetic charge
35:37
the energetic and electrical components
35:40
of fruits and vegetables
35:41
directly impacts brain function
35:45
so foods that are high in the
35:46
electromagnetic energy are going to be
35:48
berries and melons
35:50
i mean blueberries a lot of research
35:52
have been done on that and
35:53
memory then also dandelion root burdock
35:57
root milk thistle green tea
35:59
second thing take extra vitamin c that's
36:01
going to help your liver produce
36:03
glutathione
36:04
that is a fabulous antioxidant that the
36:07
liver makes that drives away toxins
36:09
third thing lots of water drink at least
36:14
half your weight in ounces of pure water
36:17
keep your water bottle with you every
36:20
time
36:20
it empties fill it up breathing deeply
36:24
doing that diaphragmatic breathing
36:26
that's going to be excellent
36:27
sweating you know if you can't sweat
36:29
naturally
36:30
you know get in a sauna to eliminate
36:32
that fifth thing
36:34
use a bright dry brush of your skin you
36:37
might also want to try the
36:39
foot detox baths or the foot baths that
36:41
are really good
36:42
for pulling toxins through your pores
36:45
but you gotta drink a lot of water
36:48
and do not underestimate the power of
36:50
sleep
36:51
sleeping is an efficient method of
36:54
detoxifying
36:55
the brain when we sleep cerebral spinal
36:58
fluid
36:59
just floods the brain removing cellular
37:02
waste and toxins
37:03
brain cells actually shrink and the
37:05
interstitial spaces
37:07
increase by 60 percent so this is really
37:10
good to enhance the removal of beta
37:12
amyloid plaque
37:13
and other toxic compounds there's a
37:16
danish
37:17
dr nedergaard neurosurgeon
37:21
university of rochester explains it's
37:23
kind of like a dishwasher during sleep
37:25
you've got the cleansing processes
37:26
carried out where you've got the spinal
37:28
fluid pumped into the brain
37:30
and then removed in a rapid pace you
37:33
know
37:33
then when you wake the brain cells
37:36
return to their enlarged state so you
37:38
don't have to worry about it shrinking
37:39
and he refers it almost like opening and
37:42
closing
37:42
a faucet so sleep sleep sleep
37:47
basic things that we just naturally
37:49
should be doing better every day
37:51
another thing exercise and movement
37:53
physical activity
37:55
not only improves digestive function and
37:57
boost metabolic rate
37:59
but it helps stimulate elimination
38:01
channels through the breath
38:03
through the sweat through circulation
38:05
through the lymphatic system
38:07
when when you move you are actually
38:10
massaging the lymphatic so that it is
38:12
pumping
38:13
so it's important to take things slow
38:14
when you're detoxing
38:16
listen to your body and especially um if
38:19
you're kind of on a restricted
38:21
um intake you feel a little unique
38:24
like chicken or something
38:27
along with the salad okay so i need
38:32
um somebody here
38:40
are they gluten-free okay somebody i for
38:43
some reason i can hear
38:46
some people talking i don't know why i
38:49
thought i'd
38:50
okay and then also de-stressing
38:53
stress puts a huge burden on the organs
38:55
of the body but especially the liver and
38:57
responsible
38:58
you know we've talked about how it is
39:00
really responsible for balancing
39:02
the hormones lowering stress will
39:05
increase bioproduction and that
39:07
boosts the body's ability to balance
39:09
hormones detoxify
39:11
and also helps optimize your absorption
39:14
of fat
39:14
soluble vitamins so we need to de-stress
39:18
in so many ways then once you've
39:21
completed your detox
39:23
you don't want to add back in all those
39:25
foods immediately
39:26
this is really important if you've done
39:29
a total fast or juice detox you've got
39:32
to go slow because your digestive system
39:34
has lightened up so you might want to do
39:36
some some stews some soups and kind of
39:39
go through things gradually
39:40
you know you may be feeling so great on
39:42
the detox you don't even want to add
39:44
certain foods back in and that's good if
39:47
you want to just kind of keep
39:49
that perfectly pure diet for a lot
39:52
longer
39:52
it's good and if you have removed
39:54
several foods
39:56
you don't want to add them all back in
39:58
all at once you know you want to kind of
40:00
space that out for example
40:02
if you remove gluten and meat and dairy
40:04
pick one
40:06
and add it back into your diet for about
40:08
four days before you add the other food
40:10
that's going to not only keep your body
40:12
from being overwhelmed
40:13
but it's also going to show you exactly
40:16
how your body feels
40:18
when you add that back in your body may
40:21
not like dairy
40:22
it may not like some of the foods that
40:25
you're going to be reintroducing
40:26
so it's a good this is a perfect time to
40:28
find it out
40:30
here's a whole bunch of resources that
40:33
if you're interested you can take a
40:34
screenshot or ask me for it later
40:37
you know there's an awful lot there that
40:39
um
40:40
really they're good good places that you
40:43
can get a lot of
40:44
other good information that
40:48
will help with any kind of a detox
40:52
program that you're wanting to pursue
40:56
okay so want your detox to go as
41:00
smoothly as possible
41:02
you may want to start with a day or two
41:06
and um
41:09
not go at it too vigorously okay
41:12
so now i am going to go
41:16
to stop sharing my screen
41:20
and unmute everybody
41:24
take me a minute here it's not doing
41:26
what it's supposed to
41:34
well we'll try it another way won't we
41:40
hey everybody okay so see if
41:43
i get oh look at all those faces good
41:45
good okay
41:47
so i un no i want to
41:50
[Music]
41:52
okay what i'm going to do i guess i
41:54
can't
42:00
you can all unmute all right so let me
42:03
see i'm going to go to the chat
42:06
and you may need to unmute yourself i'm
42:08
not sure
42:09
but we've got some questions here
42:13
oh what does the liver make well we went
42:16
through
42:16
that it makes lots of enzymes and it
42:19
conjugates
42:20
hormones and it produces
42:23
bile so many things you know the the
42:26
liver is producing bile
42:29
and then it goes to the gallbladder
42:30
where the gallbladder stores it
42:32
so when you eat a meal then the
42:35
gallbladder
42:36
will respond to the fat in that meal and
42:38
squirt out the bile
42:40
a lot of people have their gallbladder
42:42
removed so the bile
42:43
is just constantly flowing into the
42:45
digestive tract
42:48
over a period of time your your liver
42:51
may make another little pocket there
42:53
to keep it but um you know
42:58
gallbladder has a real important
42:59
function we can do without it
43:01
but some people have a lot of problem
43:04
with the bile just
43:05
flowing and lubricating the
43:08
digestive tract all the time what do you
43:11
do if you have no gallbladder
43:13
well there are certain supplements
43:16
that really do help with
43:19
um sort of controlling that if you have
43:24
a lot of diarrhea which is a common
43:26
thing for some
43:27
not not common but it is it is a not an
43:30
uncommon side effect
43:31
having your gallbladder removed you
43:33
might want to try
43:34
um calcium calcium actually binds
43:38
up bile salts so if if you have trouble
43:42
with looser stools that calcium may do a
43:46
good thing
43:46
don't get calcium with magnesium because
43:49
magnesium
43:50
is going to be a little bit of it can
43:53
cause
43:53
a little bit of a looser stool so
43:55
calcium by itself
43:57
um good thing for that also a product
44:00
called af beta food
44:02
that is phenomenal for um that
44:05
and i like af beta food because if
44:07
you're having trouble
44:08
with bile you may also be having trouble
44:11
absorb your fat soluble vitamins like
44:13
a d e and k so that af beta food
44:16
has the egg
44:20
in there okay
44:23
all right so oh the name of the movie
44:26
again
44:27
was dark water um
44:31
i had to rent it i don't think it is
44:33
free
44:34
but it is well worth your time
44:37
um boy we just have to be honor guard
44:40
you know
44:41
they make so much money out of this
44:44
nonstick
44:45
stuff and i i know i've told this story
44:48
before
44:49
but when uh we went to visit my
44:52
mother-in-law in cleveland
44:53
you know mother-in-law and father-in-law
44:55
they spent days getting ready for us to
44:57
come visit
44:58
and she had the carpets cleaned and
45:00
everything and
45:01
and we show up there get ready for bed
45:04
and my feet start itching
45:06
like crazy i mean i
45:09
actually got a knife and i was
45:11
scratching my feet and finally i just
45:12
thought
45:13
i've got to wash my feet there is
45:14
something going on well the next day and
45:16
then the itching stopped
45:18
next day i found out that they put
45:20
scotchgard
45:21
non-stick down on them you know oh my
45:23
gosh
45:24
all of those all of those things
45:27
um really can be very toxic to the body
45:31
and in the
45:32
the movie dark water it it showed
45:35
how actually the children in this
45:38
community were developing
45:39
gray teeth because of of the water
45:42
supply that was so toxic
45:44
huge cancer i mean it's just awful and
45:46
so they go downstream and now they're in
45:48
west virginia
45:49
and um you know they want to be by the
45:51
water because that's necessary
45:54
for their i don't know they use it
45:56
production but
45:57
we have to be careful okay how do you
46:00
spell that picker is
46:02
is uh p-i-c-c-o-h-r-i-z-a
46:06
i do believe say that again
46:10
i think it's p-i-c-3
46:16
h-o-r-i-z-a i'll i'll have to look that
46:18
up for a picariza
46:21
and it's big horizons is what we're
46:23
looking for
46:26
okay picker yeah zero uh
46:29
hypo what cleanse nutra cleanse is the
46:32
one
46:33
i really love um
46:36
i've done that myself and you know it
46:40
the reason i really like it not only
46:43
does it have
46:43
everything together but
46:46
it also has compounds in there that heal
46:49
up
46:50
a leaky gut and when
46:53
you're detoxifying you're you're pulling
46:56
a lot of stuff
46:58
out of your cells you know that's that's
47:00
the whole thing
47:01
you're wanting to pull things out so you
47:03
can eliminate it
47:04
you don't want to have a leaky cut
47:07
when you're doing that because then your
47:09
your body is reabsorbing
47:11
a lot of that at the same time so with
47:14
nutriclear
47:15
it's designed to heal up that leaky gut
47:18
and gives you all the nutrients that are
47:21
necessary to help
47:23
kind of protect your body and enhance
47:24
the detoxification process
47:27
um it it has been extremely popular
47:30
and i'm hopeful that just today
47:34
we have been able to get some of those
47:37
packets in um
47:39
so that if anybody's interested in doing
47:41
that cleanse
47:42
um you know if you're interested we can
47:44
do it all again together because
47:46
you you can't um well you can
47:49
overdo cleanses you know but seasonally
47:53
it's probably a good thing back in the
47:54
day that we just did it in spring
47:56
cleaning
47:57
you know when the body had had heavy
48:00
food
48:01
all winter long bring you've got all the
48:04
dandelion greens you got all those
48:06
fresh green bitters that really
48:09
do a good job i mean the good lord knew
48:11
what he was doing when he had all the
48:13
seasons these foods
48:14
that come available right now are
48:16
perfect for our liver
48:18
and a detoxification we've got so many
48:22
toxins anymore
48:23
that um you know 20 years ago they used
48:26
to say well maybe spring and fall
48:28
now they're saying maybe the first of
48:30
every season
48:32
and some people are even saying monthly
48:34
you should do this i guess it depends on
48:36
your toxic exposure
48:38
and and what you're trying to achieve
48:40
but um
48:41
i i think you know we first of all need
48:44
to
48:45
like stop a lot of them coming in and
48:48
enhance
48:48
your body's ability to get rid of a lot
48:51
of them
48:53
okay what increases by 60 when you
48:56
sleep your cerebral spinal fluid
49:00
when you sleep your brain cells actually
49:03
shrink and the cerebral spinal fluid
49:06
comes up and it bathes the cells
49:08
and gets rid of the toxins and the
49:10
poisons so then you know the cerebral
49:12
spinal fluid then gets back into the
49:14
circulation your liver clears it so
49:16
when you're not sleeping when you're not
49:18
going especially through
49:19
the deep sleep that
49:22
year and that's what you get usually
49:24
between 10 and 12 at night
49:26
that is when your body really does the
49:28
deep sleep and
49:29
and that's the restorative that is you
49:32
know all phases of sleep are very
49:34
important
49:35
but for rejuvenation and repair
49:38
it's that deep sleep that's so important
49:40
um
49:41
and that's when the cells shrink the
49:43
most when when you're in light sleep
49:45
that's also really important when you're
49:46
in rem sleep that's also really
49:48
important
49:49
you burn a lot more calories believe it
49:52
or not
49:52
when you are in active sleep it's
49:55
amazing
49:56
the brain is just like so active um it's
49:58
just sleep
49:59
sleep is i've become a real student of
50:01
sleep i had to be because i was not a
50:03
good sleeper so
50:04
um sleep is is so important
50:07
and i think a lot of us uh and i've been
50:10
guilty of this you know
50:12
burning the candle at both ends and you
50:15
can't
50:15
do that if you want to be really healthy
50:17
sleep is so important
50:19
um there's even what they call the
50:22
maestro effect
50:23
and they found that the most brilliant
50:25
people
50:26
sleep nine and a half hours a night
50:30
yeah well and when you think about it
50:32
also before
50:33
the light bulb was developed yeah yeah
50:37
yeah we used to you know you you go to
50:40
sleep with the cows and you'd wake up
50:42
with the chickens
50:43
and during the winter you would sleep a
50:46
lot more
50:47
but but the advent of the life light
50:49
bulb
50:50
our sleep has decreased by 30 percent
50:55
yeah sleep important yeah
50:58
okay another one amy can i take
51:02
apple cider vinegar daily with lemon
51:04
water yeah
51:06
i love apple cider vinegar do not ever
51:09
get the gummies
51:10
i think they should be outlawed because
51:13
you know
51:14
gummies here you are chewing a sweet
51:17
sugary acid thing what does that do into
51:20
an example of your teeth
51:21
that's terrible it's terrible i don't
51:23
know why what they're thinking
51:25
um i guess they're just thinking they
51:26
want to sell a lot of stuff but
51:28
you know um but apple cider vinegar
51:32
as we get older our stomachs are not as
51:35
acid and some of us for one reason or
51:37
another
51:38
never really did have a lot of stomach
51:40
acidity genetics whatever
51:42
but when when your stomach is acid
51:46
especially when food gets in there it's
51:48
always a little acid but when when food
51:50
gets in there
51:51
the acidity does a lot of things it
51:53
starts breaking down the proteins
51:55
it destroys all the bacteria which back
51:58
in the day was
51:59
very important um and and then you know
52:02
when that
52:03
acid they call it chyme c-h-y-m-e when
52:06
that starts going down into the small
52:08
intestine
52:09
it is supposed to be acid all of your
52:13
minerals
52:13
absorbed at a different acid ph
52:16
calcium absorbed acid magnesium
52:19
iodine phosphorus copper everything
52:23
everything's absorbed in an acid ph so
52:26
if your stomach isn't
52:27
acid enough you're not absorbing your
52:29
minerals properly
52:30
so if you're proton pump inhibitors no
52:33
wonder there's an
52:34
increased risk of fractures not good
52:38
and when they started giving them to
52:39
babies i just all nutritionists just
52:41
freaked out
52:42
not good but then as that
52:45
acid chyme moves down to the
52:49
where the the gallbladder and the
52:51
pancreas and the common bile duct
52:53
then your the acid chyme actually
52:56
triggers
52:57
release of bile from the gallbladder
53:00
so you've got to have acidity there for
53:02
the gallbladder to get triggered
53:04
and then probably most importantly for
53:08
women of a certain age is it also
53:11
triggers
53:11
the pancreas to release bicarbonate to
53:14
alkalize the whole body
53:17
so that's really important if you're
53:19
following me
53:20
when it comes to minerals and your bone
53:22
density
53:24
if your stomach isn't acid enough your
53:27
number one
53:27
your calcium and all your minerals that
53:29
are necessary for bone density aren't
53:31
being absorbed properly
53:34
and calcium is the buffer in your
53:36
bloodstream and in your bones
53:38
so if your bloodstream starts getting
53:40
acid
53:42
your pancreas has to release the
53:44
bicarbonate
53:45
but the backup is the calcium from the
53:47
bones
53:49
so if if you're not getting that acidity
53:52
and the
53:53
pancreas is not being triggered to
53:55
release bicarbonate
53:56
you're not only not absorbing minerals
53:59
for your bones but you're also
54:02
pulling minerals from your bone to
54:04
alkalize the bloodstream
54:06
so apple cider vinegar long story short
54:10
apple cider vinegar is wonderful
54:13
lemon juice is good too because that
54:15
also
54:16
when you've got an acid stomach you've
54:18
got an alkaline body
54:19
so i like that for so many different
54:21
reasons um you don't want to get
54:25
the um concentrate lemon juice
54:28
want to either get the real
54:32
lemon chop it in half and squeeze it or
54:35
get
54:35
lemon juice not from concentrate
54:39
yeah that's that's always a key thing
54:41
that they always take
54:42
um do i need to take calc after
54:45
menopause if eating healthy
54:47
and not doing dairy it is an excellent
54:50
question amy amy you've got lots of
54:53
really good questions
54:54
um well number one cardiologists
54:58
always question this because
55:01
they noticed that there was aortic
55:05
calcification a lot of times in women
55:09
that took calcium supplements
55:12
and so their recommendation a long time
55:15
ago was to add
55:17
k2 to help
55:20
sentinent help send the calcium to the
55:23
bone
55:24
so that helps a little bit
55:28
if
55:32
slight built women and at menopause you
55:35
are going to lose
55:36
10 of your bone mass just a given
55:39
so most important thing is build as much
55:41
bone mass as possible
55:44
on your 23. then
55:47
yeah okay that age is over for us okay
55:50
yes
55:50
then that menopause you're gonna lose
55:53
ten percent
55:54
so we want to minimize that
55:58
so really important to do weight-bearing
56:01
exercise
56:02
okay real important and there's a lot of
56:05
easy ways to do that you can do yoga you
56:08
can do
56:09
the the super slow ten that i love um
56:13
walking is going to be weight bearing
56:15
exercise
56:16
but you also want to do upper body you
56:18
know you don't want to get that humped
56:19
over
56:20
when you lose minerals from your upper
56:23
back so
56:24
you want to be doing upper back
56:26
exercises as well
56:27
i love yoga i love doing planks because
56:30
that's
56:30
bringing all that good posture and
56:34
minerals to that if you
56:37
are fair and slight built
56:40
you are more at risk of osteopenia that
56:44
is mineral loss
56:45
leading to osteoporosis so if
56:49
your dexa scan shows that you are
56:52
starting to lose minerals
56:54
the best formula i've ever found
56:57
in addition to eating lots of vegetables
56:59
because that is one of the best things
57:01
for
57:01
for building bone is going to be a
57:04
mineral supplement called bone maximizer
57:07
it's
57:07
it so um sort of tries to duplicate what
57:12
food is going to have it's got your not
57:14
just the calcium but has magnesium and
57:16
phosphorus and boron
57:18
and you know on and on it does have
57:20
vitamin d but it also has
57:22
k2 k2 is what your gut
57:26
bacteria make from vegetables
57:29
so your body is making some of this k2
57:32
but this supplement is going to assure
57:34
you've got everything
57:36
so not only you're absorbing your
57:38
calcium and other minerals
57:40
but it also tells it to go to the bones
57:43
you
57:43
you don't want it just floating around
57:45
there and depositing it
57:46
where you don't want it okay
57:50
oh what's a plank
57:54
a plot is a yoga move and i don't have
57:57
time
57:58
to show you right now but um
58:03
ask me come into the shop and ask me but
58:05
a plank is basically
58:07
where a yoga move where you're either on
58:09
your elbows
58:11
and toes and you keep your your body
58:15
straight straight back straight arms
58:18
and you know sometimes if your wrists
58:20
are strong you can
58:22
hold the wrist one of my favorites it's
58:25
going to strengthen
58:26
you know your abdominal muscles it's
58:28
going to strengthen your back muscles
58:31
shoulders everything i love a plank
58:34
and one of the things i love is when you
58:36
start planking
58:37
you're not going to be able to do much
58:40
my challenge is
58:41
every day add one second just a second
58:45
you add one second before you know it
58:47
you are going to be
58:48
made not only how long you can go
58:51
but how strong you are i love
58:54
planks um all right my favorite yoga
58:57
move
58:59
when when i started doing that i just
59:01
put a yoga mat in my bedroom
59:02
in our bedroom so that every night i
59:05
would be reminded before i got into bed
59:07
i would do a plank
59:09
and i would just add one second a night
59:12
before you know it i mean you were like
59:15
whoa that's pretty darn good i'm just
59:17
watching that
59:18
thing go round and round so yeah i love
59:20
a plank
59:21
and the super slow move
59:24
okay i'll take one more question at
59:27
here um good yoga person um
59:32
here in town
59:35
anybody know a good yoga person here in
59:37
town i'm thinking
59:38
um andrea zinn
59:42
i just use adrienne on youtube that's
59:44
who i use
59:46
adrian you know cause i i
59:50
i have a boring life i don't leave home
59:52
much
59:55
so so i uh i i like you know it's
59:58
free and it's always there it's that
1:00:00
time it's there
1:00:02
uh super slow move um
1:00:06
is a technique that
1:00:09
is really taking over when it comes to
1:00:12
weight training
1:00:13
what they've found and this goes back to
1:00:16
when the novelist machine
1:00:18
was developed and they they found
1:00:21
by accident they this same guy that
1:00:24
developed
1:00:25
the nautilus machine was given by
1:00:29
doctors that had a lots of frail little
1:00:31
old ladies
1:00:32
that he wanted them to start weight
1:00:33
training to strengthen their bones
1:00:36
well they were little and feeble and and
1:00:39
so
1:00:39
when they were lifting weights he
1:00:41
thought they were going to hurt
1:00:42
themselves because they couldn't control
1:00:44
the weight
1:00:45
so he had him go super slow so counting
1:00:48
to
1:00:49
10 and you're just bringing that
1:00:52
weight up and then counting 10 down
1:00:57
so you you've got you know 20 seconds in
1:01:00
one lift
1:01:01
and what they found is you
1:01:04
take a heavy enough weight
1:01:08
so by the time you've hit
1:01:11
six reps you can't do another one your
1:01:14
muscles are quivering
1:01:16
so then you go to the next exercise same
1:01:19
thing
1:01:20
you go super slow max 10
1:01:24
and you can't do any more the really
1:01:27
cool thing
1:01:28
is because we know when you are lifting
1:01:31
weights
1:01:33
you are actually tearing down the muscle
1:01:36
fibers
1:01:37
and you need to take the next day off
1:01:39
because that's repairing and building
1:01:42
and so you cannot weight train every day
1:01:45
and what they found when you do this
1:01:47
super slow heavy weights
1:01:50
you can only exercise every five
1:01:54
days sometimes seven days so what i like
1:01:57
about it
1:01:58
you know in about 10 minutes 15 minutes
1:02:01
you got
1:02:02
a perfect workout that you can't do but
1:02:04
every five days
1:02:09
so all the benefits and you have all
1:02:11
that rest of the time to do whatever
1:02:13
else you want to
1:02:14
so there's there's lots of um
1:02:17
you're not going to see too many
1:02:19
trainers they won't teach this
1:02:21
um because you don't need a gym and uh
1:02:24
you know you could use a weight bench if
1:02:27
you want
1:02:28
um or your ottoman or something like
1:02:30
that but you know maybe
1:02:32
one month we need to do one of these
1:02:34
webinars just on
1:02:35
exercise and um because it is
1:02:39
you know all of these things
1:02:42
kind of dovetail in to a healthy
1:02:45
lifestyle
1:02:46
and you know diet is part of it but
1:02:49
sleep is part of it fitness is hydration
1:02:52
is part of it
1:02:53
you know toxin avoidance is part of it
1:02:56
risk management
1:02:57
relationships are part of it you know
1:03:00
all of these things
1:03:01
are as we look at the blue zones around
1:03:03
the world where people when they're born
1:03:05
they can just count on living to be a
1:03:07
hundred that's what they do
1:03:10
and so it's there's so many things it's
1:03:13
not just eating right
1:03:14
it's not just exercising all of these
1:03:17
things
1:03:18
plays into the fact yeah it is it all
1:03:20
builds together
1:03:21
yeah right annie good good
