00:06:54.160 --> 00:06:54.879 What are you seeing? 00:06:55.040 --> 00:06:56.079 Is it PCOS? 00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:01.439 I know that's a huge thing I'm seeing all over socials and you know, people really talking about that. 00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:03.360 Um, is it in the five words? 00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:04.399 Yeah, that's another one. 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:05.519 That's another one too. 00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:05.839 Yeah. 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:06.399 Yeah. 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:17.759 I think what I'm seeing a lot is busy women, because you know, we are in a very amazing time where women can create their own career and do all these amazing things. 00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:22.319 And it's they want help back, like they want a healthy lifestyle. 00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:24.720 Um, but it's hard because we're so busy women. 00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.240 Like, I get a lot of them that are like, well, I don't have time to cook. 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.720 Like, how can I take care of my health? 00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:37.199 And because I know it's important because I want to have a good cycle, I want to support my body with food and all these things. 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:45.759 But I'm like, I'm working two jobs, I'm starting another business, I have kids, or you know, all the responsibilities that we have that it's hard to balance all of that. 00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:54.079 So a lot of them come to me with wanting to make realistic lifestyle changes, like how to start cooking is one thing. 00:07:54.160 --> 00:08:03.040 Then I get a lot of the people what to look for at the grocery stores, how to support my body, and how to like time management is another big one. 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:09.199 And then I think as for like women's health-wise, it's um stress is obviously super huge. 00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:14.399 And um just learning about the four phases. 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.040 I think just wanting education on it. 00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:17.680 Yeah. 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:22.399 What would you say is like one misconception um people have about wellness? 00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:29.279 I think one misconception is that it's very cookie-cutter and that everyone is the same. 00:08:29.839 --> 00:08:34.799 It's I think you know, it's like uh for me, like okay, avocados are a great food, right? 00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:36.000 For me, they're bloated. 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:37.200 They make me bloat. 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.279 Like it's not like it's a great health food, but maybe not for me. 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:47.679 And I think with wellness, it's like everyone posts, like these are all the things you should be doing. 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.519 And you know, that's not the same for everyone. 00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:53.120 Health is so bio-individual. 00:08:53.200 --> 00:08:59.039 Yes, and that's what I like to coach with in my coaching, is like, okay, let's find a plan that works for you and your body. 00:08:59.440 --> 00:09:04.080 And because that's a lot of the thing that people get wrong is they just follow what other people are doing. 00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:06.320 Yeah, it's not one size fits all. 00:09:06.799 --> 00:09:07.279 Exactly. 00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:15.519 And I feel like

social media has made wellness feel like super overwhelming because you see these insane routines in the morning. 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:21.440 Um, all the things, all the drinks, all the even the nighttime mocktails, all the things. 00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:31.919 Um so as far as social media, do you think social media has distorted wellness to an extent based off of all of that? 00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:33.759 Yeah, I mean, I definitely think so. 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:41.440 I think as someone, like, like I said, I that's my first place I went when I was starting my health journey. 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.879 I was like, okay, like I'm gonna Google TikTok, like signs of the, you know, like it's just the day and age we live in. 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.240 Like, that's our Google. 00:09:48.559 --> 00:10:03.279 And I like so I have an interesting, like, sort of storyline where it's like I was that person who was like looking up everything and following like what these gurus said, and I wasn't taking account of my body, my problems. 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:12.879 And I I felt overwhelmed because I'm like, yeah, okay, this person's saying to eat dairy, then this person's saying not to eat dairy, and always felt like I was doing the wrong thing. 00:10:12.960 --> 00:10:19.519 And I think with social media, there is so much noise, and also it creates like more expectation. 00:10:19.600 --> 00:10:37.840 Like, if you aren't doing these things that you're not healthy or you're not wellness, and I think when I was also just starting to find my rhythm, you know, and started getting into then posting about you know, health and wellness. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:43.759 I, you know, kind of f followed the template that everyone else was doing. 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.080 And then I was like, well, I don't really like this. 00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:48.080 Like, this doesn't feel authentic to me. 00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.480 And this doesn't feel like what I would want to say. 00:10:50.720 --> 00:10:59.759 And so that's what I try to do with like Black Orchid now is like, okay, stripping away from that perfect because exactly like a 5 a.m. 00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:02.480 morning dude is so like not realistic. 00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:08.879 Like it's not, and it goes against also, in my opinion, women's bodies of like we're not the same every day. 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:11.279 How do you expect to be waking up at 5 a.m. 00:11:11.759 --> 00:11:13.840 every single day of your cycle? 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:18.639 When you're in your ludio, your mushroom, but you need actually more sleep, like you shouldn't be doing that. 00:11:18.879 --> 00:11:26.799 So it just creates like a lot of stress and expectations and puts more pressure on women when we already have so much pressure to be perfect. 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:28.240 Yeah, I agree. 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:35.279 So I I think it I think the point is just listening to you in your body. 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:36.480 I think so too. 00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:45.519 Yeah, I was gonna actually ask, like, has um the wellness culture become another form of perfection, perfectionism, I cannot say that way. 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:54.480 Okay, because I feel like it has, you know, and I and I feel like the word wellness, everybody wants to attach themselves to it with all of the routines like we just spoke about. 00:11:54.639 --> 00:12:00.159 And it's like, are you actually doing it for your health or are you doing it to be perfect? 00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:04.720 You know, are you doing it for the aesthetic or are you truly, you know, doing it for your health? 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.399 Yeah, I think I think there's so much perfection around. 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:16.879 I mean, one the wellness closure gave me like an eating disorder, like it it when I was going through it, because exactly it's like you need to eat all this. 00:12:17.039 --> 00:12:25.679 And I became so terrified to eat any like any kind of sugar, like fruit or any because I've seen like the videos like it's bad for you. 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:37.600 And I was like, oh my gosh, like the I I couldn't, I was in such a fragile state that I didn't want to go back to having all these gut issues, and I'm seeing these gurus that are telling me not to eat fruit. 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:43.200 Yeah, so I just became so scared and developed an eating disorder from it. 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.440 And I I think it you definitely 100% puts that perfection. 00:12:47.519 --> 00:12:49.360 I think one of us has always been around. 00:12:49.440 --> 00:12:58.960 I my mom will joke with me and she's like, I remember when nobody would like talk about doing yoga or pilates, she was like, that was weird, and now it's like a status thing, really. 00:12:59.279 --> 00:12:59.919 Yeah, it is. 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:11.279 It is, and I think it just yeah, it it puts too much pressure on us and to step away and to actually find what makes you feel good. 00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:14.799 It doesn't have to look like what the Instagram girlies are doing. 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.080 I agree with that, yeah, because there's so much out there. 00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:22.080 Um, kind of bouncing off of some of this, some of these things. 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:24.480 What's your thoughts about peptides? 00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:32.639 There's so many different peptides out there that, you know, obviously, you know, for weight loss, for inflammation, for there's so many things out there. 00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:40.080 Do you feel like that is a tangible step for women or even men to to utilize? 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:47.919 Do you um suggest that in your practice, you know, for women who are suffering with, you know, PCOS or you know, weight loss? 00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:49.120 Yeah. 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:56.320 Um, I will always be on the side of never tell a woman what to do with their body. 00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:56.720 Yeah. 00:13:56.879

--> 00:13:58.159 Um, you know, I've had that too. 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.679 I've had women ask me, it's like, okay, well, you don't like birth control, should I go on it? 00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:12.559 And I'm like, there are pros and cons to every beautiful, amazing thing that's been invented, like weight loss for weight loss, for um fertility. 00:14:12.639 --> 00:14:14.159 There's all these amazing things. 00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:18.159 And I think there's pros and cons to everything. 00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:18.720 Yeah. 00:14:19.039 --> 00:14:23.759 So I think it's something that you have to do your own research on. 00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:37.679 If it fits with your, again, your body and your health, I think that's what you should listen to and you shouldn't be listening to like I always tell them like this is my advice, and I I share health and wellness advice on shows, but I always say is like take it with a grain of salt. 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.960 Because again, I'm speaking from my experience and my body. 00:14:41.279 --> 00:14:45.919 But if it's something that does work for you, the then that's great. 00:14:46.080 --> 00:14:51.360 I know the problem with some of these medications is that um our body will then arrive rely on it. 00:14:51.519 --> 00:14:57.279 Like I've heard that with um GLPM ones that after you stop it, you gain all the weight back. 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:00.159 But I know they can be helpful for some people. 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:03.039 So I feel like it's just up to the individuals. 00:15:03.600 --> 00:15:13.440 Yeah, because I I feel like there isn't any full, I mean, obviously, GLP ones and all those things, they help people, you know, on their journeys, you know, what whatever journey that may be. 00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:24.320 Um, but also I think a lot of people use that as just almost like I'm not gonna say a band-aid, but they're just really solely relying on that and they're not changing their habits. 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:43.759 It should be, I believe anything, whether that's GLP1s or just it other peptides, you know, even biohacking with biohacking with cold plunge, cryotherapy, you know, sauna, like obviously these are tools in your toolbox, but if you're not exercising and eating healthy, no amount of fixes are going to actually reactions. 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:44.399 Exactly. 00:15:44.639 --> 00:15:46.879 I will always say, like, and I like that too. 00:15:46.960 --> 00:15:50.720 That's why I think love um health is a lifestyle choice. 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:55.360 Like, I'll get people that, you know, are like, okay, I want to like, I want to eat better. 00:15:55.679 --> 00:15:59.120 And I like to do like this, um, it's called like the circle of life. 00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:01.840 And you we look at them like, okay, well, like, how's your love life? 00:16:01.919 --> 00:16:04.159 And they're like, Well, how does that have to do with like what I'm eating? 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:08.320 And it's like, well, I are you, you know, are you seeing anyone? 00:16:08.399 --> 00:16:10.720 Cause like then are you eating what they're eating? 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.600 Are you, you know, are you going out all the time eating? 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:22.720 Like, I feel like health and wellness is such like a lifestyle thing that you have to address the the core root of it. 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:30.799 And that's why I personally love naturopathic or Chinese medicine, because it really focuses on that root, because that's where the symptoms cause. 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:38.559 If you're super stressed, of course you're gonna have inflammation, of course you're gonna have problems with your weight, of course you're gonna have problems with your gut. 00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:43.759 Yeah, but if sleep, you know, skin, it all stems from one singular place. 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:44.639 I agree. 00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:52.159 Yeah, I've recently got into Chinese medicine and so and I've seen a change just within myself with adapting some of those um philosophies. 00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:58.080 But um, kind of going back to some of this, one thing that I've done this year, I made sure to make it a point. 00:16:58.240 --> 00:17:02.159 Um, I don't know if you guys have heard of Tia, but I've been going to TIA. 00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:03.840 Um, and they're really good. 00:17:04.000 --> 00:17:09.599 So I like had them rent, I had them like do a full panel on me just to make sure you know everything was good. 00:17:09.759 --> 00:17:09.920 Yeah. 00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:13.759 And they came back, gave me some recommendations on what I could do. 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:17.920 Um, they told me I I was inflamed a little bit and you know, some things that I can eat. 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:22.640 And so if someone is doing that, is that what they would take to you as a health coach? 00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.240 And then yeah, like the results. 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:25.519 Yeah, yeah, exactly. 00:17:25.599 --> 00:17:43.359 I've had women that um, yeah, I'm like, do you um their hormone results, you know, their levels or you know, any of their, you know, do they have like diabetes or anything that I always ask, like, yeah, just share your your history with me so we can devise a plan that's specifically for your body. 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:51.440 So that's how like the the working with other practitioners kind of works, where it's like you have exactly your main doctor that you go to for everything. 00:17:51.599 --> 00:18:06.480 Um, but you're like, you're like, okay, like maybe your doctor told you to like to if you were trying to like lose weight or something to go on this diet, but you're really struggling to like stick with it, that's where I would come in and help you like achieve those goals. 00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:07.119 Okay. 00:18:08.000 --> 00:18:08.319 Okay. 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:21.279 Um, another question I have for you in terms of just like, you know, different

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:53.440 Yeah, of course. 00:18:53.519 --> 00:18:59.680 I mean, I think um that's like the best way to use supplements is actually there to supplement to help out. 00:19:00.240 --> 00:19:12.079 So, I mean, the ones that come to my head, I think for um that what helped me a lot with my fertility everything was inositol powder. 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.200 Like I still take it. 00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:16.880 I've been taking it for like the past years. 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.799 Um, and that really it's really helpful for women with PCOS. 00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.880 Um, but that was a great one uh for like stress and everything. 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.599 That as someone who has chronically stressed still. 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:31.759 Um, I love um Ashwagandha is good. 00:19:32.079 --> 00:19:38.319 I also uh Rishi Mushroom is a really nice one for sleep. 00:19:38.480 --> 00:19:42.079 Um magni I feel like everyone should take magnesium. 00:19:42.319 --> 00:19:45.039 It's just an overall like a great supplement. 00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.799 So I love, yeah, I love magnesium for sleep. 00:19:49.119 --> 00:20:00.400 Um another one that I really like is we have a um, it's local to Phoenix, but you can buy it online is Mount Sunny. 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:10.960 They do um Chinese like tinctures, Chinese herbal tinctures, and I use their sleep one, and I found it has to be very, very beneficial for me. 00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:14.240 Um so I highly recommend checking them out and trying that one. 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:20.319 Because I'm a tea girl, that's how I go to sleep. 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:21.759 Yeah, it's really nice. 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:23.680 Chamomile and lavender tea. 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:27.119 Lavenders are really lavender's really good for sleep. 00:20:27.519 --> 00:20:41.839 Um, but those would be I've kind of cut down my supplements, but I I take the my inocetol powder, I take that, and I take um ashwagandha and um magnesium are kind of all that I'm taking right now. 00:20:42.559 --> 00:20:43.119 I love that. 00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:44.640 Those are such good picks. 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:46.400 Well, let's switch gears. 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:50.240 I really want to get into some cycle sinking because I think that that's so important. 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:58.240 I think one thing that people are finally starting to understand is that women are not meant to function like machines every day, kind of like what we talked about. 00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:04.640 Um, what's the difference between a man's 24-hour hormonal um cycle and a woman's monthly cycle? 00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:06.240 Yeah, I mean, that's just it. 00:21:06.319 --> 00:21:16.720 Like that what you said is that we um, yeah, unfortunately, we live in a society that favors the 24 hour cycle. 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:20.960 I mean, think about the nine to five workday that revived around the men's cycle. 00:21:21.119 --> 00:21:29.279 And a lot of this is just because of how our society is built, and also women were included into a lot of medical testing um for a very long time. 00:21:29.440 --> 00:21:35.759 I can't remember the year off the top of my head, but because our bodies were seen as too complex or too complicated. 00:21:36.079 --> 00:21:39.920 So we weren't really taught about our bodies in the different phases. 00:21:40.319 --> 00:21:47.839 And with men's cycles, is that it's 24 hours, so they're the same, their hormone levels are the same every single day. 00:21:48.240 --> 00:21:48.799 Must be nice. 00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:49.519 I know. 00:21:49.839 --> 00:21:50.079 Jeez. 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:54.880 I've been looking like a machine. 00:21:55.440 --> 00:21:55.920 Exactly. 00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.119 So yeah, exactly, exactly. 00:21:59.200 --> 00:22:03.599 So there's The same, same everything, nothing changes for women. 00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:08.640 It's you know, they say the standard is 28 days, but again, very women to women, it can vary. 00:22:09.039 --> 00:22:12.799 But so, and that takes us a whole time to complete our cycle. 00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:20.400 So, we have four different phases within the cycle, which is um our menstrual phase, folic, ovulation, and then luteal. 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:24.480 And during each of these phases, our hormones are at different levels. 00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:32.559 So that causes mood changes, that causes, you know, anything from your um digestion, you know, where we need to. 00:22:32.640 --> 00:22:38.079 There's a reason we want more food in our luteal phase, or because our body needs more calories. 00:22:38.480 --> 00:22:43.440 So it affects our sleep, our mood, our um everything. 00:22:43.599 --> 00:22:53.200 How like how we think, you know, our creativity levels, everything is affected and it changes between like the week-to-week basis within that month. 00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:55.680 So for women So we're not crazy. 00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:56.559 No, you're not. 00:22:56.720 --> 00:23:02.720 And that's what exactly like I when I learned with all this, I was like, Oh, I'm not crazy. 00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:06.000

I'm not like there's a reason why I feel bloated the time. 00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:07.839 There's a reason like that. 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:10.000 I like my mood is off. 00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:15.920 Like, I you know, it just it like clicked in my head because I didn't, I thought we were the same every day. 00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:20.319 Like, yeah, we're not, we're not clearly not no, we're not. 00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:21.519 And it just, yeah. 00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:27.599 So cycle sinking is basically when women live in accordance with their cycle. 00:23:27.680 --> 00:23:33.119 Okay, so they change their eating to every different phase, and that is just making sure. 00:23:33.200 --> 00:23:41.440 So, like if you are um, I would just love to use the luteal phase because that's where a lot of women struggle with like PCMS and you know, all of that. 00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:48.640 If you're in your luteal phase, it's helpful to eat more complex carbs or more calories because that's keeps you fuller longer. 00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:53.119 So it'll help those dips in your energy and it'll help those dips in your mood. 00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:59.200 Um, also then if you're in, you know, your philic your ovulation, it's more light foods. 00:23:59.279 --> 00:24:14.079 If you don't win with those nutrients, also changing your um workouts to fit to your cycle because during that time, again, it says our hormones change, our bodies are more sensitive to stress during certain times. 00:24:14.400 --> 00:24:30.720 So we shouldn't be like doing crazy cardio workouts every single day because when we won't have the energy to any kind of like our body thinks anything is stress, so that can cause more inflammation when you're in your period or your luteal phase. 00:24:30.799 --> 00:24:31.039 Okay. 00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:33.519 Um, and also it's just changing. 00:24:33.839 --> 00:24:34.720 I I have something. 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:39.279 So when I tell my boyfriend on my menstrual cycle, I can't work out. 00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:40.319 There's a reason. 00:24:40.559 --> 00:24:41.200 There's a reason. 00:24:42.079 --> 00:24:44.240 I'm like, I was down and out last week. 00:24:44.319 --> 00:24:44.720 I swear. 00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.720 I was like barely getting to Pilates. 00:24:47.440 --> 00:24:49.200 It's hard and it's hard. 00:24:50.319 --> 00:24:52.319 The problem is that's they don't understand. 00:24:53.680 --> 00:24:54.240 No, I can't. 00:24:55.119 --> 00:24:56.960 My trainer is like, get on it. 00:24:57.119 --> 00:24:58.400 Like, you just don't understand. 00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:00.079 Not that week. 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:00.559 Yeah. 00:25:00.720 --> 00:25:16.400 So cycle singing all is exactly it's about living course with your cycle, like eating for your cycle, working out, and just change changing your different the little things that you can to fit your cycle and help have an easier period, help have an easier just time throughout the whole thing. 00:25:16.720 --> 00:25:17.440 I love that. 00:25:17.680 --> 00:25:20.960 Can you just explain it like just a little bit more, like in terms of the window?

00:31:46.640 --> 00:31:48.160 I would love to be able to. 00:31:48.799 --> 00:31:52.079 Um, yeah, that's the that's the thing. 00:31:52.480 --> 00:32:02.559 And they're, you know, so they're designed with that every woman ovulates on the day 14, 28 Diceagle, which again is not the case. 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:07.279 So with they're not always accurate on tracking. 00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:19.039 Um, so I always recommend women to track it on their own time, like pen and paper, getting used to it, or with just watching exactly like the basal body temperature going up and down. 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:28.400 And with the other signs of like ovulation, like your um your discharge and you know, mood and all these other things is how I would track it. 00:32:28.559 --> 00:32:30.640 There's one that seems pretty good. 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:32.240 I've tried, it's called Eureka. 00:32:32.720 --> 00:32:34.319 It's uh female founded. 00:32:34.400 --> 00:32:42.079 Um, so I like that one is really nice, but I always try to just track it with pen and paper is the way to go. 00:32:42.319 --> 00:32:44.000 Yeah, I know that definitely makes sense. 00:32:44.400 --> 00:32:44.640 Yeah. 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:50.079 So I also think people underestimate how connected gut health and emotional health actually is. 00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:53.359 How does stress impact gut health and hormones? 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:59.200 Yeah, well, I mean, uh the majority of our serotonin is curvated in the gut. 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:05.599 You know, like gut everyone said like the brain and gut connection, gut feeling, like that, there's all a reason we have those. 00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:15.519 And when you're stressed, that can cause inflammation in the body and bloating and just puffiness. 00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:28.240 Um, and with the with the gut, if you have any sort of imbalance like how I was having of bacteria, you know, that can affect your your mood levels, your stress levels. 00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.319 So really taking care of your gut health is so important. 00:33:33.039 --> 00:33:37.599 And it should be a foundation of exactly taking care of your your stress. 00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:43.200 You know, a lot of people like to do all these things for stress, but then they're not eating healthy for their gut. 00:33:43.759 --> 00:34:00.319 And they're there's a you know, like there's a like talk to me is like the the parasite wants like the candy, you know that when it's like that's true, like our gut, like if we have bat bacteria in our gut, it's gonna want sugars, yeah, and unhealthy things, and so we need to kind of like cleanse that all out. 00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:01.839 Detoxin, yeah. 00:34:02.079 --> 00:34:07.680 And then um, how can poor gut health um impact mood, anxiety, and energy? 00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:18.079 Like what um what are kind of the signs and just you know, how can people I guess you know, I guess, you know, solve that problem. 00:34:18.719 --> 00:34:23.119 I feel like, I mean, definitely with gut health. 00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:43.280 Um, other things like if you're looking for poor gut health, yeah, your um obviously like bowel movements are like a number one way of like determining your gut, like if you're really constipated or like you, you know, like these are little things that you can like spot that maybe something is slowing down or not working properly. 00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:52.719 Um with like your mood and stuff, I I've noticed a lot of people that have like a lot of depression have like really bad gut issues as well. 00:34:53.280 --> 00:35:03.679 So kind of like like, do you want to know, like to reframe like your question, are you asking um like for things to do for it? 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:10.800 Yeah, a little bit of things to do, or you know, um, I guess signs that are related to poor gut health. 00:35:11.039 --> 00:35:15.760 Yeah, no, sorry, I was like, I was like, wait, I was like, I mean, I'm going off on something that I don't know. 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:18.639 This is for um yeah, signs of like poor gut health. 00:35:18.800 --> 00:35:21.920 I'd say, yeah, um, your bowel movements, poor gut health. 00:35:22.000 --> 00:35:32.079 Also, if you are like bloated after everything you eat, you know, or bloating is the always feeling bloated, is you know, can a sign that can be something is off. 00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:45.360 Um things like stress eating at another one, or always craving like sweets isn't really big of you're always like you you're always craving it. 00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:48.559 And that could be that could be a sign that something's off. 00:35:48.880 --> 00:35:51.039 Um, but also, yeah, just high stress. 00:35:51.199 --> 00:35:51.840 That was for me. 00:35:51.920 --> 00:36:06.880 I always say that like my stress caused bad gut issues because it might not necessarily like you think it's one thing or the other, but it could really like the you could have high stress and that causes bad gut issues. 00:36:07.039 --> 00:36:09.519 Because again, our body's in a fight or flight demands. 00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:14.800 It doesn't know when we are stressed about something at work or if we're in a stressful situation. 00:36:15.119 --> 00:36:23.679 So it kind of like causes our our body to not function properly, you know, or put some things on hold. 00:36:23.920 --> 00:36:34.480 So I always try to say like do whatever you can to help your stress and also help feed your gut like good bacterias or good like probiotics. 00:36:34.719 --> 00:36:39.840 Yeah, probiotics, prebiotics, you know, both of those, nice nice and fiber, I think are really good. 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:52.400 Making sure that you're drinking water, making sure that you're staying away from processed as much as you can from processed foods, I think are just little things that people can do to help their gut health and which eventually will help their their mood. 00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:53.199 I love

that. 00:36:57.599 --> 00:36:58.880 Yeah, sauerkraut. 00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:00.719 Yeah, I always like yogurt. 00:37:00.800 --> 00:37:01.280 I love yogurt. 00:37:01.519 --> 00:37:05.519 Yeah, I always say like before supplements, always like whole foods. 00:37:05.840 --> 00:37:07.920 And also it's like way cheaper. 00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:13.519 Um, but yeah, for like probiotics, like anything that's fermented is really, really good for you. 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:15.119 So good. 00:37:15.519 --> 00:37:18.159 Why are so many women exhausted all the time? 00:37:19.119 --> 00:37:24.800 I think honestly, it just comes down to like the society that we live in. 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:37.920 Um and again, talking about like the male cycle of 24 hours, again, that's kind of been the foundation for the you know, just it's the foundation that women haven't put in this box to like fulfill that. 00:37:38.000 --> 00:37:41.599 And we put the pressure on ourselves to be like the man. 00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:48.719 And if we're not, if we're not hustling 24-7, like that's we don't see ourselves as worthy. 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:52.480 Um, and I know I fell into that as well. 00:37:53.360 --> 00:38:15.679 And also with seeing like things like on social media of women doing all these things or you know, having perfect routines, that causes uh the pressure of us because we we want so desperately to uh feel taken seriously, you know, by maybe ourselves, by maybe our parents, by maybe like our job. 00:38:16.239 --> 00:38:19.199 And I think that's why. 00:38:19.360 --> 00:38:32.239 I think it's really that just because society that was not founded on women's bodies and we were not seen as like important, that it creates all this pressure to try to be like the men. 00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.639 And we have to stop trying to be like a man and try to be like a woman. 00:38:37.360 --> 00:38:39.519 Yeah, yeah, very different, different bodies, different. 00:38:39.920 --> 00:38:42.800 And it's a good thing, and yeah, it's a really good thing. 00:38:43.119 --> 00:38:47.519 And I think we hold a lot of like power in our own body and how it works. 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:56.559 And yeah, I think when you stop trying to work like a man, you know, eat like a man, like stop trying to live like one, you'll you'll be more your power. 00:38:56.880 --> 00:38:59.199 I agree, and that's something that I'm working on right now. 00:38:59.599 --> 00:39:02.960 Embracing embracing our womanhood, femininity. 00:39:03.039 --> 00:39:03.440 Yeah, yeah. 00:39:03.760 --> 00:39:08.320 I feel like we've kind of strayed a little bit away from that over the last, you know, probably decade or so. 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.599 But you know, I think, you know, to your point, you know, we are very different, and that's a good thing. 00:39:13.840 --> 00:39:20.000 You know, we we need to embrace that and you know, take our power back with our own femininity, and I love that. 00:39:20.239 --> 00:39:22.639 Yeah, we have our own strengths, our own power. 00:39:22.719 --> 00:39:29.039 You know, there's things that we're great at, you know, that we should be focusing on, not focusing on masculinity. 00:39:29.280 --> 00:39:29.760 Yeah, yeah. 00:39:30.000 --> 00:39:35.519 Yeah, I really think it just kind of just you know stems from oppression and society and all of that. 00:39:35.679 --> 00:39:40.000 But now, Zach, we're in a time that women are embracing it, and I think that's amazing. 00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:41.360 Yeah, I love that. 00:39:41.519 --> 00:39:46.880 And I love that your brand talks about realistic wellness instead of perfection. 00:39:47.360 --> 00:39:52.559 As far as you know, the next question, what does realistic wellness actually look like? 00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:56.639 Is there something tangible our audience can take away? 00:39:56.800 --> 00:40:00.320 Because I know it's a lot of information, especially with cycle syncing. 00:40:00.400 --> 00:40:02.960 I know for myself, I'm like, okay, I want to do it, but it's a lot. 00:40:03.039 --> 00:40:05.760 You know, it can be overwhelming to track and write it down. 00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:11.679 Is there anything that they can take away to get themselves started on their wellness journey?
