Yes, it's got cold. I mean every other day is different which is part of the problem 3 00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,040 If you're on the East Coast 4 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:23,140 It really is that transitional season of not knowing to put coats away or 5 00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:29,280 Bring them out or put your shorts away. I know your sandals cuz some days it's 70 and some days it's 45 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,360 Yeah, it is still that season 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:39,520 That trips us all up and the cold start coming and the flu start coming and all of the kids little germs 8 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:43,160 Bring them home and then you're down for the count for a week 9 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:50,900 So we are gonna talk about how to boost your immune system up and prevent all of that from happening. I'm into it 10 00:00:50,900 --> 00:00:52,900 I 11 00:00:58,820 --> 00:01:00,820 Victoria hey guys, I'm Carly 12 00:01:02,060 --> 00:01:04,420 I've been practicing. I was really good 13 00:01:04,420 --> 00:01:11,100 I took a little step back and I lowered it a little and then I went through my nose more than my chest voice 14 00:01:11,100 --> 00:01:16,380 And I worked on there's a lot of thought there's a lot of thoughts because usually it's like hey guys, I'm Carly 15 00:01:16,380 --> 00:01:21,860 Yeah, I thought we get away for one. That was really good. I'm impressed 16 00:01:24,860 --> 00:01:32,400 So the immune system right it's there I found an article that that broke down things and like remember those 17 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:38,140 Yellow books computers for dummies. Yeah, so I found an article that really dumbed it down for me 18 00:01:38,300 --> 00:01:42,740 So I'm gonna share that with all of you and hope it resonates like it did for me 19 00:01:42,740 --> 00:01:50,300 How do you feel that you have turned into our aunt Vicki? I read an article. That's how you started your sentence. I'm so proud Vicki 20 00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:55,880 So proud I'm reading all the articles. I'm watching all the documentaries 21 00:01:56,540 --> 00:01:58,420 read an article once 22 00:01:58,420 --> 00:02:05,740 That the immune system is the body's surveillance system. Hold on the immune system is like a ring camera. Okay, I like that 23 00:02:05,740 --> 00:02:11,220 Yeah, cool, cool, and it works 24 seven to identify and eliminate 24 00:02:11,220 --> 00:02:17,740 Viruses and bacteria so it's looking for crime. Okay in the body. This is something that I can get behind 25 00:02:18,140 --> 00:02:23,660 Your description I can I I'm here now. I'm awake. I'm here. I'm into it 26 00:02:23,660 --> 00:02:28,220 I lied before when I said I was into it now. I'm really into it. Let's talk about 27 00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:30,860 crime fighting bodies 28 00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:34,340 Well crime fighting bodies 29 00:02:34,340 --> 00:02:39,380 Pain paining yes, so the immune system 30 00:02:40,340 --> 00:02:45,340 Is the ring camera for our bodies where we live, right? 31 00:02:45,540 --> 00:02:47,860 So we have to take care of it 32 00:02:47,860 --> 00:02:52,540 So the whole point of having a ring camera if it the batteries are out. What's the point? 33 00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,740 There's no point to it. Yeah, if it you know can only survey 34 00:02:57,500 --> 00:03:03,020 One area of your entrance to the house. Well, there's a whole dark side that anything could happen 35 00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:07,780 I have eight doors to my house. Okay. I need eight ring cameras 36 00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:13,220 Okay, we're talking about the body. I know I know I know but there's so many doors to my house 37 00:03:13,220 --> 00:03:18,380 There's so many doors to my body, right? Yep. Okay, the mind is one of them. Yes, it's true 38 00:03:18,780 --> 00:03:23,580 You have to make sure that this immune system this surveillance system is 39 00:03:24,340 --> 00:03:26,140 up to par 40 00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:32,100 Which is really like hard if you're not fully taking care of yourself ie me mm-hmm ie you ie 41 00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:39,460 Everyone when life gets too busy, right? Especially right now right now in the beginning of the holiday season these seeds this it's the same 42 00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:46,260 It's the same every year October to November November to December if it's crazed. It's like feels wild 43 00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:52,580 Yeah, it feels wild looked every single year and the last thing we do to take care of ourselves is take care of 44 00:03:53,180 --> 00:03:58,500 That's like bottom of the list. Well, we'll figure it out on December 26, which is what I usually do 45 00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:01,060 I sometimes get so 46 00:04:01,060 --> 00:04:04,180 Crazy busy don't do anything 47 00:04:05,100 --> 00:04:12,040 Right for myself don't eat well don't sleep well and then on Christmas morning. I feel horrible. Yeah. Yeah, you know 48 00:04:12,060 --> 00:04:15,740 It's just like I miss it because I'm exhausted 49 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:21,980 I haven't been eating right didn't have enough water and I'm like oh my gosh. I'm like a zombie on Christmas morning 50 00:04:21,980 --> 00:04:26,140 Yeah, it's so true and I think well it for me 51 00:04:26,140 --> 00:04:32,660 It's all the time but some people could feel like that Christmas morning slump all the time. Yeah all the time and that is 52 00:04:33,340 --> 00:04:36,380 Doable to change you can do it and there are ways to do it 53 00:04:36,380 --> 00:04:41,380 There are natural ways to do it and then there's supplemental ways to do it and we're gonna talk about all that yeah 54 00:04:41,380 --> 00:04:46,340 No, I definitely like all the drugs so oh my god. So tell me about what I can buy 55 00:04:47,620 --> 00:04:52,260 That's unnatural we're gonna start my way okay, so we're gonna go on that you're out 56 00:04:52,260 --> 00:04:58,700 Just to break down the immune system one brief little section more is it's the skin 57 00:04:59,020 --> 00:05:07,220 It's our corneas mm-hmm our lymphatic system our respiratory system and our gastrointestinal system and 58 00:05:07,980 --> 00:05:10,460 If you know we're not gonna break all those things down 59 00:05:11,220 --> 00:05:17,420 Hopefully you know what your skin is the gastrointestinal system alone if that's out of sync 60 00:05:17,420 --> 00:05:24,780 Then everything's out of sync mm-hmm like that is if you're not feeling well digestively or things are kind of like 61 00:05:24,940 --> 00:05:26,940 Weird there, maybe they've always been like that 62 00:05:27,020 --> 00:05:31,180 There's something wrong and you have to you have to look into that because if that's not okay 63 00:05:31,780 --> 00:05:36,140 Nothing else in your body can be okay. I believe that that's good because it's science 64 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:42,940 And it's fact I I I can stand behind that's good. That's good. It's not really a belief system, but this okay 65 00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:47,900 That's good. So if all of those things are not doing well, and you're not taking care of yourself 66 00:05:48,100 --> 00:05:51,140 It's due to poor diet lack of sleep 67 00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:55,340 high stress and or like a medical condition you already have and 68 00:05:56,020 --> 00:06:02,500 That can weaken all those things together or individually can weaken your ring camera. Okay, okay? 69 00:06:02,500 --> 00:06:06,820 I'm gonna keep it. Yeah, I'm gonna keep it. I'm gonna keep it carly fight. Uh-huh. So 70 00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:12,060 What can you do here are seven eight nine here are ten ways? 71 00:06:12,060 --> 00:06:18,820 He's ten ways that we already know like I'm not gonna tell you anything right now that you've never heard before 72 00:06:18,940 --> 00:06:21,140 This isn't gonna be like aha moments 73 00:06:21,140 --> 00:06:27,260 This is the wake-up call and the kick in the pants that maybe you just need to hear right now that you don't even know that 74 00:06:27,260 --> 00:06:29,660 You need to hear so that you go make some changes or 75 00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:35,460 Start maybe you buy a multivitamin or maybe you go out to the grocery store and you buy better foods for yourself 76 00:06:35,460 --> 00:06:39,260 This is just a sign. I am putting it out there for you to 77 00:06:39,260 --> 00:06:45,220 Say things you've already heard since you were little and you wanted to ignore your mom because you didn't want to eat the orange 78 00:06:45,220 --> 00:06:49,060 All right, maybe you just want to listen to me have that aha moment 79 00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:52,540 And you should keep listening and hopefully I'll get there 80 00:06:53,100 --> 00:06:57,220 So there's that to look forward to isn't in the ring camera. I don't have one 81 00:06:57,900 --> 00:07:03,380 But you can press the siren if someone is like approaching your house that shouldn't be there 82 00:07:03,380 --> 00:07:08,420 It seems like if you can talk to them and Carly's just pressing sirens at all time 83 00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:12,180 But she's like ignoring them, but you're also pressing them 84 00:07:13,100 --> 00:07:20,820 Ten ways first one go get your flu shot could be controversial if you are not into vaccines totally and and there is no judgment 85 00:07:21,220 --> 00:07:26,580 Here's what the flu shot is right. It is something that promotes herd 86 00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:29,020 immunity 87 00:07:29,020 --> 00:07:31,020 HRD so by doing 88 00:07:31,020 --> 00:07:38,020 Your little part for the people around you it helps yes yourself, but it helps the people that can't do it 89 00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:43,820 So those six-month-old babies the the little ones running around that are allowed to get them or the people that have no access 90 00:07:44,260 --> 00:07:46,980 Just the people in your part of the world 91 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:52,820 That's what it does. So it doesn't spread. It doesn't get worse now if you're an anti-vaxxer. That's fine 92 00:07:53,140 --> 00:07:59,540 Skip this little section fast forward, but if it's something that you're like, well, I just always forget to do it 93 00:07:59,540 --> 00:08:03,300 I have nothing against it. I I need to go. I'd that's me. I'm busy 94 00:08:03,300 --> 00:08:07,980 I can't get to CVS or right aid then get the flu vaccine 95 00:08:07,980 --> 00:08:13,660 You could be the pinnacle of health you eat everything. Well, you exercise like you are perfect on paper 96 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:19,980 The flu's common for you like it will still somehow get there if your world 97 00:08:20,780 --> 00:08:26,540 Around you right isn't also trying to protect you right wash your hands 98 00:08:26,540 --> 00:08:32,460 I know like I mean this is all stuff we learned during the pandemic when COVID was really 99 00:08:33,500 --> 00:08:37,740 Rapid and it was like funny when they were like wash your hands everyone 100 00:08:37,900 --> 00:08:42,300 No, really wash your hands. There are there's a world if you could microscope 101 00:08:42,940 --> 00:08:47,460 Your fingernails.

You don't like you don't like 103 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:59,320 What I don't like to know I don't like to drink coffee and know things I like 104 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:05,520 To pretend that it there's not a colony on my finger in an ostrich and and they should all just be killed off 105 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:12,160 I'm kidding. Don't kill any animal. So wash your hands 20 seconds sing yourself a song 106 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,840 I'm not getting into wash your hands. Just wash your hands. It's a big part of your immune system 107 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Steph infection lives on our skin just naturally. So 108 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,240 Don't put your fingers in your mouth 109 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,080 Hands on doorknobs like you have to just kind of use your brain and think wash your hands 110 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,120 Do we want to talk about that for a second or are we gonna get into that later? Hmm the staff infection. Oh, yeah 111 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,560 Yeah, sure. I just had staff infection. So I learned that staff infection. I didn't have MRSA. There's two different kinds 112 00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:43,500 I did not have MRSA. Thank God. That's the staff. Yes. Okay. I had the other one 113 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,960 Staff are caucus on a monocle 114 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:52,440 Whatever it's called. I love that one. That's a super popular fun one. So fun to sit in your Vegas nerve 115 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,440 Oh my god, get out of my house 116 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,360 So we live a staff infection on our skin naturally 117 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,680 It's just a matter of how it can get internalized 118 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:07,320 So any type of wound or cut or if you pick your cuticles those are open 119 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:09,440 doors 120 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,480 for a criminal to get past your ring camera 121 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:19,840 Okay, so I because I sweat so much I tend to break out and I think it just got into one of them 122 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,440 I don't have any cuts on my hand. So I had a really bad stuff. It was bad. It was very I mean down for the count 123 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,120 Could not move. Yeah, Carly and 124 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:35,200 Carmella forced me to call the doctor to the because I couldn't jump up and down like it was really bad 125 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,640 Yeah, so in any case take it from my experience. You do not want staff infection 126 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:44,760 I was lucky enough to catch it before I got hospitalized because any type of staff infection 127 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:47,760 I'm gonna say it again that lives on our skin naturally all of the time 128 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,480 Could kill you and hospitalized you okay. She was 129 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,320 What 24 hours from going to the hospital?

Yeah, right like you breathe in 135 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:27,440 The air is really basic simple knowledge. So there are some viruses that stay in moisture in the air 136 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:31,740 And then that's how they kind of like circulate around you and then they get in 137 00:11:31,740 --> 00:11:37,580 Yes, I mean that's why also it also clears up your sinuses as you're sleeping 138 00:11:37,580 --> 00:11:40,620 I mean like any infant if you have a kid 139 00:11:41,060 --> 00:11:48,020 They say if they are stuffy and they couldn't take you can't take medicine yet because they're so small put a humidifier 140 00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:54,900 Yeah in the room. I mean, that's just I guess we think maybe it's basic knowledge, but some people don't know 141 00:11:54,900 --> 00:11:59,940 Yeah, that's true. And I always bought that mom.

Oh my god 156 00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:08,660 But here is 157 00:13:08,660 --> 00:13:13,540 Here's my I had a few aha moments because I listened to the Mel Robbins podcast 158 00:13:13,540 --> 00:13:14,300 Mel Yarr 159 00:13:14,300 --> 00:13:16,300 Oh, Melly are was that girl? 160 00:13:16,300 --> 00:13:18,300 That's our girl one of her recent 161 00:13:18,300 --> 00:13:23,340 I did not write this down to give you really good facts like a good podcaster should so look it up 162 00:13:23,340 --> 00:13:25,420 But it's about sleep and she has this 163 00:13:26,220 --> 00:13:28,220 Renowned sleep study 164 00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:34,060 ologist they just made that up who's talking about it and breaks down the phases of sleep the importance of sleep 165 00:13:34,900 --> 00:13:40,780 Really the wise like the wise as to why sleep matters and it's not just so you're not tired 166 00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:47,540 There are so many things that happen to our brain when we're sleeping and if we do not allow for that time to happen 167 00:13:47,540 --> 00:13:53,820 There's no way our bodies functioning properly even if you feel okay, and you're only getting four hours of sleep 168 00:13:53,820 --> 00:13:58,300 And you're like this is all I need it you're there's so much more that could be happening for you 169 00:13:58,700 --> 00:14:05,260 So what I took away just to talk about today is that in one of the stages of sleep and it's in the early stages 170 00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:10,740 What happens in our brain is like a Zamboni on ice that I can see 171 00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:17,820 What does the Zamboni do after a game where all of the ice gates have like really ripped up the ice and has all the like ice 172 00:14:18,220 --> 00:14:23,980 Residue and you just want like a clean slate the Zamboni comes around and it cleans it all off 173 00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:30,380 And now it looks glossy and it's smooth and all of the bad things on the ice 174 00:14:30,380 --> 00:14:33,820 So let's pretend like that's true are gone. Well, that's what happens 175 00:14:33,820 --> 00:14:41,620 We have like a clean sweep system in our brain and it gets rid of all the bad that happened during the day to build up all 176 00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:43,820 The toxins all of the things that can 177 00:14:44,300 --> 00:14:47,180 murk our brain what that can 178 00:14:48,500 --> 00:14:52,060 That can muddy our brain there you go things murky 179 00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:57,100 I'm gonna get the pronunciation of this wrong, but cytokines cytokines 180 00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:04,300 It's a protein and it releases in our brain during sleep and that plays a role in fighting all infections in the body 181 00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:10,020 So if you're not sleeping and I can't tell you what stage of sleep that those proteins are created 182 00:15:10,260 --> 00:15:16,300 But if you don't get to phase a and then you won't get to be and then you get to see if you don't get that a 183 00:15:16,300 --> 00:15:18,660 It's not like you can skip a and go to see 184 00:15:18,980 --> 00:15:24,180 Got it the possible Zamboni may never happen and that's an issue because over time 185 00:15:24,180 --> 00:15:28,540 There's so much going on up there that you haven't cleaned out. Mm-hmm 186 00:15:28,540 --> 00:15:34,060 And so sleep is super and super super important. It's also super super super hard to get 187 00:15:35,060 --> 00:15:37,060 Yes, but that just comes with your priorities 188 00:15:37,700 --> 00:15:39,700 Well, here's my thing 189 00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:45,000 So last night I did go to bed at 9 30. I was done 190 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,280 Mm-hmm. I got up at 12 to go to the bathroom 191 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:55,140 Mm-hmm. I got up at 3 30 because I was like, oh, it must be six looked over 192 00:15:55,140 --> 00:16:02,620 It was 3 30 and then I got up again at five for the day. Mm-hmm. So my sleep gets interrupted not always 193 00:16:03,580 --> 00:16:06,340 Because I want it to just because that happens, right? 194 00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:10,100 So I have to figure out how to not do that. We're gonna talk about that today 195 00:16:10,500 --> 00:16:16,100 Because I think there's a lot in the multi vitamins and the things that your body is missing and all of us are missing 196 00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:20,940 I'm missing so much because I don't eat a lot of things and I'm I need supplements. Yeah 197 00:16:21,780 --> 00:16:27,340 Like magnesium for you is probably one of them. So there are ways to fix that and that is also like a 198 00:16:27,860 --> 00:16:32,340 Just like meditation. It's a practice. So like one bad night doesn't mean you're never gonna sleep well, right? 199 00:16:33,060 --> 00:16:38,440 But there are ways that like you may have to find the perfect cocktail 200 00:16:38,780 --> 00:16:42,880 Right, just it now. I don't necessarily even mean like things to take in and ingest 201 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,000 The cocktail of like the specific time you need to go to bed to not have to wake up 202 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840 Right when's the last time that you can have water before you go to bed? 203 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,720 You know all those I mean I chugged a 40 ounce Stanley before I went to bed, right? 204 00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:00,240 So like there's factors. It's not just like my brain doesn't let me sleep sometimes when you wake up. Yeah, you're you're done 205 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,280 Like you're up. Yeah 206 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,640 But they're health wise 207 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,240 Immunity wise there are ways that I think 208 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:13,780 Obviously, you're not you're not doing. Yeah, yeah, no, not number five 209 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:16,960 Drink water 210 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:23,960 Yeah, but not right before bed. No, no, you still want that sleep. So drinking water. What does it do? It flushes toxins and 211 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:31,280 It keeps the mucus. Yeah in our respiratory system thin 212 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,400 because the thicker the immucus gets the more 213 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:40,600 Basically particles and bacteria and things get stuck in there and that becomes like an upper respiratory infection, right? 214 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,680 So the thinner your mucus 215 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:49,080 Sounds so gross. I know I love it any type of nurse doctor thing. I cannot look at nurse doctor thing. Yes 216 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,080 my brain doesn't go that way 217 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,560 but 218 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,680 Mucous doesn't really bother me 219 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:59,280 So the the thinner that is water will help doing that obviously water will help a lot of other things 220 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,800 I think it's one of the catalysts of all of it 221 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,080 Yeah, if I mean and just like we said the air is getting colder. We're drinking less water 222 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,840 Yes, it's so hard to drink 223 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:16,160 Wooder fatty when it's cold. Yeah, I don't want to do it. I know I know 224 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,680 Um, I don't know that I say suck it up 225 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,560 And I'm saying that to myself as well 226 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,080 So I got up suck it up but a cup 227 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,760 I know I've been doing I've been actually bucking up and just doing it even though I'm shivering while I'm doing it 228 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:36,560 Wait, you've been bucking up and then sucking up buttercup. Mm-hmm. Cool. I'm having a great time 229 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:41,280 But I I went to the re like there's so many obviously 230 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:48,720 Hydration for your skin, which remember is a part of the immune system. Yeah, there's so many good things with water 231 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:55,200 I went to the respiratory system because that's usually what we feel in October November December and those shifts 232 00:18:55,200 --> 00:19:00,080 so the reason our mucus thickens is to fight off the bad guys and 233 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,880 You want to keep it thin so that you can get it out? 234 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,920 Like you've ever stuff, you know, is you're like nothing's coming out. Yes, it's because it's so thick 235 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,560 It's fighting off the infection that you have keep it thin drink the water 236 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:20,920 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Keep it thin. Yeah drink the water. Yep. Love it talking about the mucus 237 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:22,960 Okay, that clear keep it thin 238 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:29,560 Good nutrition. You just have to eat well eat well don't clean. Yes, don't eat processed foods 239 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,600 Don't eat the things that are going to really it's like throwing 240 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:38,680 Bad things at the ring camera and now the ring camera can't see through the lens 241 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,880 So like it's not capturing all the things that wants to fight off 242 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,240 So all the bad guys are getting in because there's nothing there's no one telling you that those bad guys coming 243 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:49,440 So you have to eat cleaner 244 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:58,080 Um, it's yes, it's hard the holidays are coming. There's parties. There's events. There's cookies. There's alcohol. There's 245 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:04,920 Breads and all that kind of stuff and we're not saying you can't have that but if you eat clean 246 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,520 90% of the time 247 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,480 Then it's fine. Yeah, because your body will be used to it and it'll it will fight it off 248 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:17,820 But you can't eat poorly all the time and expect the camera to see yeah 249 00:20:17,820 --> 00:20:23,460 Thank you for getting on board with the camera. I mean, that's the only way I'm understanding today. I know 250 00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:25,660 So yeah eat well 251 00:20:25,660 --> 00:20:33,740 it just keeps the whole body functioning properly and fighting off it's like your your body has like little little ninjas and 252 00:20:34,380 --> 00:20:39,340 If they're too sleepy from all the sugar and all the bad carbs not good carbs 253 00:20:39,820 --> 00:20:43,140 They're not gonna fight you're gonna be like guys get up. Let's go. Mm-hmm alarm 254 00:20:43,140 --> 00:20:49,100 Work for me like fight off the bad guys and they'll be like, oh no, no, I'm just gonna sit on the couch 255 00:20:50,660 --> 00:20:53,780 Do you know that's how I tell the kids about sugar? 256 00:20:54,540 --> 00:20:59,660 We don't talk about weight or anything or like anything like that my very small kids 257 00:20:59,660 --> 00:21:05,260 We don't do that. But what we say about sugar is it makes you slow. You're very young kids. Yeah, what did I say? 258 00:21:05,460 --> 00:21:07,820 Small I just mean. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah mean that they're young 259 00:21:07,820 --> 00:21:14,300 Yes, I have very young kids that don't need to know anything about weight at all ever until later. Yeah, right 260 00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:19,700 What we say to them about sugar is it makes you slow too much sugar makes you slow 261 00:21:19,700 --> 00:21:21,580 Yeah, do you want to run fast on the soccer field? 262 00:21:21,580 --> 00:21:22,620 Do you want to run? 263 00:21:22,620 --> 00:21:29,940 Do you want to do karate really well then the less sugar the faster you'll be we don't so if you want to talk to your kids about it 264 00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:34,700 Say that and they they understand that melody is like, oh, I don't want to have that right before my soccer game 265 00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:39,460 Because it's gonna make me slow. Yeah, and that's a way better way than being like it's bad for you 266 00:21:39,460 --> 00:21:44,420 Well, they don't understand that and then all of the coaches give them pretzels after they I know it's great 267 00:21:46,940 --> 00:21:48,940 Regular exercise 268 00:21:49,060 --> 00:21:55,620 Shocking it helps physical it helps mental and it boosts blood flow and circulation 269 00:21:56,580 --> 00:22:03,180 Which is mainly for the white blood cells. What are white blood cells because I don't know. Yeah, I just know the name 270 00:22:03,180 --> 00:22:08,060 They're part of the immune system that is the body's like first line of defense 271 00:22:08,580 --> 00:22:14,500 It's the first thing that the criminals are gonna come up against and if they get past the white blood cells 272 00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:19,460 Then there's more things that are gonna try to fight but the front line front line is white blood cells 273 00:22:19,460 --> 00:22:25,220 so a proper exercise routine keeps those white blood cells at the ready and 274 00:22:25,220 --> 00:22:35,820 Red to go and a lot of them read to go. I'm so many of them. They travel around white blood cells travel around our body 275 00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:43,660 Looking for intruders. Oh, they're looking for them. Okay, which is like fungus virus bacteria 276 00:22:44,260 --> 00:22:46,540 Parasites like the things that you know are bad 277 00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:49,140 The white blood cells are like 278 00:22:49,180 --> 00:22:53,340 They're not just standing there waiting, right? They're they're hunting. Yeah, gotcha 279 00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:56,220 So the less white blood cells we have 280 00:22:57,620 --> 00:22:59,620 Not that's not great. Yeah 281 00:23:00,020 --> 00:23:02,700 Exercise boosts the circulation of blood throughout the body 282 00:23:02,940 --> 00:23:09,180 So it constantly keeps them moving keeps them growing keeps them healthy and that's that's what you need 283 00:23:09,180 --> 00:23:17,060 It's right now while it's super busy and you are going to be run down. I just posted this the other day to our Instagram 284 00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:22,820 Yes, you can start in January. Some people are like, oh my gosh, I can't I'm just too busy to work out right now 285 00:23:22,820 --> 00:23:29,500 I'll start over in January. Mm-hmm. How hard it's going to be for you in January if you don't stick to your 286 00:23:30,140 --> 00:23:34,900 Exercise routine now. Yep, it's gonna help you in so many ways not just because we want you to come to class 287 00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:41,420 Sure, but we it just for that reason. Yeah, if you stick to your routine, you will not crash 288 00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:48,880 You will not get slow. You will not have a really tired Christmas morning. Yeah stick to your routine. That's true routines are really important 289 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:57,300 Spend time outdoors, which if you're on the East Coast, yes, it gets chilly. Okay, so it's not necessarily 290 00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:03,480 Samahina face. She's giving me the upper lip curl of like, hmm. Thanks for the thanks. Here's why 291 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:07,200 Open a window. Okay. All right, fine 292 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,920 It doesn't have to mean go out and hike and bundle up 293 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,960 Which is something that I would do and some people are nature people. What's up, Jackie? 294 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:21,640 And you hike all the time and you get out in nature and you I'm telling you those people and getting outside even in the colder months 295 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,360 It's a revitalizing feeling that you can't experience unless you do it and 296 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:33,480 Stop looking at me like that. She's not buying it. I am buying it, but I was just thinking how 297 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:40,800 On Halloween we were trick-or-treating and I saw one of our see-fitters who had just come to like one of our weight classes 298 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:45,800 And then we went out trick-or-treating. She was doing it was cold. It was 7 o'clock at night 299 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,720 She was doing a hot girl walk because she likes to get outside. Yeah, and I was like, are you trick-or-treating? 300 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,800 She's like, no, I'm on my walk. I like to get outside Christine. Yeah, it was Christine 301 00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:00,800 I was so proud of her it's but that it's like a thing you always say don't walk the dog 302 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,840 You don't have to walk the dog that long like it's for me. Yeah, it's guess it's for the dog 303 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:11,080 But it's for me like it's my time to just like breathe air that's not indoors and like 304 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,840 To me, I don't know it matters and now I have an article telling me that it really does matter 305 00:25:16,120 --> 00:25:23,260 So vitamin D comes from the Sun and we need vitamin D and we don't get it a lot in the darker winter months because 306 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:27,060 Yeah, the Sun is not out as bright, but just getting out with a cloudy 307 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,500 Day in a cloudy sky just like on a beach day. Yeah, you're still getting Sun 308 00:25:31,500 --> 00:25:37,900 So the vitamin D helps for a lot of reasons being cooped up in heated buildings 309 00:25:38,300 --> 00:25:44,180 Just recirculates the same air over and over through each vent of 310 00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:47,540 How many different people breathing into that air? 311 00:25:47,540 --> 00:25:53,460 and so that's the number one way in like office buildings and cities and 312 00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:57,500 Not necessarily your house because you are in control of what's in your house 313 00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:02,220 But but no you're not because your kids are coming home and they're bringing stuff into the house. That's true 314 00:26:02,220 --> 00:26:07,300 Yeah, that's true, but that's how viruses spread. So those that humidifier airborne stuff. We were just talking about 315 00:26:07,940 --> 00:26:16,620 We put the heat on we shut the windows and we are in like cages. It's like my heaven. Oh my god.

Oh super easy 317 00:26:20,260 --> 00:26:26,180 I have one thing written down because we're not getting into all of this. Okay state of mind affects health 318 00:26:26,180 --> 00:26:29,980 Yeah, end of sentence. I'm learning 319 00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:33,540 from this podcast called fit to be real that 320 00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:39,900 You do what makes you happy and that is how you manage your stress and your life and the things in your life 321 00:26:40,180 --> 00:26:44,740 Just do you yeah, that was our first real tip you do you boo boo? 322 00:26:46,100 --> 00:26:50,220 Melody says it to me every night before bed. Oh my god. I love it. We always say I love you 323 00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:54,740 She's like you do you boo boo. I was like you too boo boo. Oh my god. I'm obsessed. Oh, yeah, I 324 00:26:56,780 --> 00:27:03,140 Avoid stimulants and it's the most controversial one because nobody wants to do it. What is that? What is it you ask? 325 00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:06,220 Great sounds like the real extra tip 326 00:27:06,940 --> 00:27:11,700 Sounds like something you're gonna have absolutely no chill with you're not gonna like this one 327 00:27:11,700 --> 00:27:19,660 Hmm energy drinks excessive caffeinated drinks or sodas meh nicotine alcohol. Yeah 328 00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:27,100 Right, so let me here's here's my what I'm gonna say to all of you that are just naysay to all of that because you're like 329 00:27:27,100 --> 00:27:32,820 I like what I like I'm gonna manage my stress this way. You're not managing your stress with caffeine alcohol smoking 330 00:27:32,820 --> 00:27:38,220 That's not managing it. It's exacerbating it. It's making it worse. You just don't know it in the moment 331 00:27:38,220 --> 00:27:41,740 It's one of those like you have a burnt out breakdown 332 00:27:43,100 --> 00:27:47,660 Months after the stressful thing happened because it just stores in the body. So these 333 00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:50,020 stimulants 334 00:27:50,020 --> 00:27:57,620 Help that happen. So while they feel good in the moment, it's like the lasting effects that makes it the problem 335 00:27:58,740 --> 00:28:01,140 Smoking suppresses all of your antibodies 336 00:28:02,620 --> 00:28:07,460 Smoking is suppressing it was depressing, but I said suppressing. Yeah, we get it 337 00:28:07,460 --> 00:28:09,740 Okay, smoking suppresses and 338 00:28:10,420 --> 00:28:12,420 Depresses the antibodies and 339 00:28:13,220 --> 00:28:20,460 Antibodies fight cold and flu. So if you are a smoker, there's so many other reasons why smoking is harmful to yourself 340 00:28:20,860 --> 00:28:24,740 We're not gonna get into all of that and also you do you but at the same time 341 00:28:25,060 --> 00:28:31,580 Know that what you're doing for yourself is not very hard. It's so politically correct. I don't care 342 00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:40,180 alcohol leads to weight gain and leads to a lot of other issues but weight gain in terms of the body and health and immune system 343 00:28:40,380 --> 00:28:42,900 It's super taxing for the immune system 344 00:28:43,500 --> 00:28:45,500 inflammation and fat cells 345 00:28:45,700 --> 00:28:52,060 Make all of those ninjas work harder. It's like they're working through molasses or peanut butter 346 00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:57,260 Yes, and they can't get to the front lines because there's so much holding them back and 347 00:28:57,260 --> 00:29:02,780 And alcohol is a big catalyst for that. It also is like, you know, it blows your fingers out, you know that feeling 348 00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:07,980 Oh, yeah, I mean after I drink Victoria does not drink. I know I don't drink 349 00:29:07,980 --> 00:29:14,260 Yeah, I have cut down my drinking a lot recently since COVID. Yeah, yeah, and I 350 00:29:14,740 --> 00:29:18,300 Only do it every so often and I notice that when I 351 00:29:18,940 --> 00:29:25,380 Do do it? Mm-hmm. I wake up at 2 3 a.m. With my heart racing 352 00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:28,920 Yeah, I have like anxiety sleep and I know there are other people that have that too 353 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:34,620 I've talked to some people about this and it is very hard to go back to sleep and guess what happens when you don't sleep 354 00:29:34,620 --> 00:29:40,780 Your body gets shut down. It gets run down. It gets horrible. It's horrible sleep. You feel horrible in the morning 355 00:29:40,780 --> 00:29:45,100 I'm not saying don't drink this set of void stimulants. It doesn't say eliminate 356 00:29:45,660 --> 00:29:48,660 So choose your drug. Check out. No 357 00:29:49,300 --> 00:29:50,740 no 358 00:29:50,740 --> 00:30:00,020 Check out and and cultivate some awareness on how much caffeine you drink throughout one day and then one week and then a month 359 00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:06,260 Like just think about the how it adds up like that and see if you need that morning coffee and the 2 p.m 360 00:30:06,260 --> 00:30:09,820 And maybe the 5 o'clock right you we don't need those last two 361 00:30:09,820 --> 00:30:15,300 There's ways to change those for yourself and keep it healthy where you're only having a little bit every day 362 00:30:15,300 --> 00:30:18,940 I will not get rid of my car. I drink coffee every day. No, I know you do but I 363 00:30:18,940 --> 00:30:23,380 I also know that the effects of caffeine in ample amounts is really bad 364 00:30:23,380 --> 00:30:27,660 so it just says to cut this stuff down not cut it out and I 365 00:30:27,980 --> 00:30:32,700 Mean just like what you said I stopped drinking last Thanksgiving 366 00:30:32,700 --> 00:30:35,980 I had a half a glass of wine last Thanksgiving 2022 and 367 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:42,340 I have not had anything since right it's now become I don't I don't crit like I just don't want it 368 00:30:42,340 --> 00:30:45,540 I don't want anything. I don't think there's anything wrong with 369 00:30:45,540 --> 00:30:52,780 Drinking in social settings or holidays or anything like that. I all of the social events we've had since last Thanksgiving 370 00:30:52,780 --> 00:30:56,140 I was just like, I don't know. I've gotten this far. I want to see how far I can go 371 00:30:56,140 --> 00:31:01,100 It's it's turned into this like game or challenge. Yeah, and I don't 372 00:31:01,460 --> 00:31:07,940 Have any FOMO when everyone's sitting around the table with wine that I do like like predator wine is like my favorite wine 373 00:31:07,940 --> 00:31:13,700 I don't sit there going God. I wish I could because then it turned that's like a different game, right? 374 00:31:13,700 --> 00:31:18,420 It's a different thing that I'm restricting and then it becomes like why do I need that so badly? 375 00:31:18,420 --> 00:31:23,540 Why do I want that? So we're not gonna get into all that but with that said I gained a lot of weight this year 376 00:31:23,540 --> 00:31:27,500 So alcohol and we can do go together, but it's not the only thing 377 00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:30,020 Okay 378 00:31:30,940 --> 00:31:33,780 So wait, I do want to say this last thing 379 00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:39,740 About coffee because I drink a lot.

Yeah, well, we stopped drinking 463 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:22,040 We did everybody else was doing those like challenges where you 464 00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:27,000 Knocked on somebody's door and you chugged the beer and then you ran away and we were like, please don't come to our house 465 00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:32,640 Oh my god, you'll waste your money. Yeah, but we were yeah, COVID we took really good care of this house 466 00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:38,160 And we worked out outside five times four to five times a week and never got sick. Yeah, we never got sick 467 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:43,800 I'm just thinking about that. I was wearing like a beanie a sweatshirt sweatpants. We were working out 468 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:49,160 Carly and Sherry ended up taking their sweatshirts off. You were in like t-shirts 469 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:56,280 Yeah, and we were in we were in tank tops with a ski hat on and it was snowing and we were doing hit 470 00:38:56,280 --> 00:39:01,880 Yeah, a hit class outside. Anyway, that was my aha moment. Maybe I do need to get outside guys 471 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,840 I'll do it my aha moment with this 472 00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:09,160 Why was this not what the news was telling us to do during COVID? 473 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:16,560 Like the the basic. Yes, the basics. Hey, do all of this to keep wash your hands stay away from other people quarantine 474 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:22,440 All those things that like we needed to do but also and you know push the vaccine 475 00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:27,760 Don't push the vaccine. It was like all of this fighting. No one got on the TV and said 476 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:29,760 Change your diet 477 00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:35,440 Eat healthy get these foods in your kitchen drink water. Nobody did the basics. Yeah 478 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:42,360 So I know that there are like you should take a multivitamin and fish oil and like there's so many nutrients 479 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:46,200 micronutrients that yes, you can get from food 480 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:52,440 But if your diet isn't like, you know, the perfect culmination of like a blue zone diet then 481 00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,600 It's you need to get them in somehow. So a multivitamin 482 00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,920 Is a great way to do it. Which one do you pick? Yeah, like there's so many 483 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:06,880 I that's where I stop I get so overwhelmed at the store where I'm like that looks good 484 00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:12,880 But I just like the label right and I heard of this brand name before but that doesn't mean that they're good 485 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:18,800 I just picked the multivitamin. That's a gummy because it tastes like a fruit sugar. Yeah 486 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:25,320 So there's probably like 50% health and 50% sugar in that 487 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,880 But you know what if it gets it in there you do it 488 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:33,280 Yeah, but you do you booboo you do you booboo best real tip we've ever had 489 00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:39,600 I found an article that said the what your multi multivitamin should contain 490 00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:46,480 And of course this article breaks down the exact like milligrams per right pill that it should be but just 491 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,440 rattling off the basics number one vitamin D 492 00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,480 Remember that conversation we had vitamin D 493 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,080 immune system boost bone and hair loss 494 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,080 Yeah, I like that. I like that 495 00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:00,320 magnesium 496 00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,320 calms the nervous system 497 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,400 and eases sleep 498 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,400 So I'm into that we're into that 499 00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:07,600 calcium 500 00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:14,800 strong bones and teeth and I don't drink milk. So like I know I'm calcium. I don't drink milk either. I don't have dairy anymore. So 501 00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:19,120 I know we're deficient in that. Yeah, I'm deficient in everything I've said so far 502 00:41:20,720 --> 00:41:22,640 Zinc 503 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:33,120 Zinc supports the immune system and helps the body use the proteins the fats and the carbohydrates that we eat for energy 504 00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,120 Mom used to make us take zinc pills in grade school. Yep 505 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:41,280 I remember that being like like it was part of the vitamin pack 506 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,160 She had us take every day in eukonacea and eukonacea 507 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,880 I loved taking pills and I would just I'd be like mom. Can I have another one? Mom? Can I have another one? 508 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,880 It's a separate episode we'll get there 509 00:41:50,880 --> 00:41:53,120 And Carly hates taking pills. I hate oh my god 510 00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:58,320 I think I was in seventh grade and my mom still had to open my mouth with her hands and put it down my throat 511 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,640 I still have a hard time taking pills 512 00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,840 That's why I do the crack cocaine. Oh my god 513 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,120 That's another episode too 514 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:10,320 Okay, so we got zinc then we need iron 515 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,120 which increases energy 516 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,520 helps with brain function 517 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:17,920 and red blood cells 518 00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:19,920 so 519 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,760 Yay all around. Yeah 520 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,760 Fall late or folic acid 521 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:25,760 So this one people are like well 522 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:27,680 I'm not pregnant 523 00:42:27,680 --> 00:42:32,240 And because it's the pregnant one. It's one for um, yeah, I took those fetus development and 524 00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:36,000 Like to kind of ward off birth defects, you know stuff like that 525 00:42:36,640 --> 00:42:38,640 But it's the same 526 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:45,520 Folic acid for growing your nails and your hair and your skin. Yes. I took all those. Yes. It's a prenatal 527 00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:51,040 Yeah, it's it's called prenatal if you're gonna do it by itself. I did that for the first two kids 528 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:52,800 Oh 529 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:54,400 for Dean 530 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,400 But it also fights depression 531 00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:01,440 Fall late or folic acid it fights depression and it fights inflammation 532 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:05,200 So like none of these are a one pill for one thing. Yeah 533 00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,240 They all cover a lot of bases that we need 534 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:16,960 But what I'm rattling off can all be in one multivitamin. Oh, I was gonna say are we at the age where we need that pill box with like the 97 pills? 535 00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,400 I mean, we're there. I just bought one. We're there. Not gonna lie 536 00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,640 But all everything that's what I said in the beginning what you need in one multivitamin 537 00:43:24,720 --> 00:43:29,040 This is the list vitamin d magnesium calcium zinc iron 538 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:34,080 Folic acid or folate if you're gonna look at the label and then the last one is vitamin b12 539 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:40,720 Okay, and like a vitamin b12 shot. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, like when you go to your your juicer 540 00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:46,080 You know, yes, your street your street juicer. Yeah, your little street juicer dealer 541 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:53,120 The the wow for $27,000 you can get a one ounce bottle of some sort of immune booster 542 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,800 But it's usually a b12 shot. Yeah, so when I was on tour 543 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:01,280 They used to have a nurse come in because tour is exhausting 544 00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:07,200 You're living on a bus in a hotel and people were getting run down left and right a doctor would come in and give us 545 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,680 B12 shots an actual shot in our arm. Isn't that crazy? 546 00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:19,680 I think a lot of art like artists touring artists like do that too so that I remember that and I haven't done it since 547 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:21,680 Do you know what b12 is though? 548 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:28,240 A shot we got in our arm to make us happy cool to make us happy no no no to make us not get sick 549 00:44:28,240 --> 00:44:33,600 I think that's called crack cocaine. I did that too. Now. I'm just kidding. I never never did the crack cocaine 550 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:40,960 Just the way you say it we all know that that's a fact crack is lack crack is lack carly's lack. Thanks whitney, uh 551 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,240 okay, so vitamin b12 for the 552 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,520 vitamin b12 for dummies book 553 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:55,040 Uh, this is not my idea or thought process, but I understand it. It's a factory of eight workers 554 00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:56,880 uh, so 555 00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:58,880 lame is type 556 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:02,880 No, not lame is a rob. No 557 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,280 An industrial factory and a line of assembly right of eight workers 558 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,000 and they 559 00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,240 Are broken down like each has a different job 560 00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:22,800 Of creating and sustaining the body's energy in different ways. So worker number one to worker number eight 561 00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:26,000 create and sustain our body's energy 562 00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:31,600 And supply it to the body. So one maybe creates it the next one 563 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,400 distributes it and then 564 00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:40,800 A couple of them in different ways break down all of the nutrients we just rattled off. Oh 565 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:48,080 That's their they break down the boxes. Wow. Okay. That's just vitamin b12. Okay eight eight guys 566 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:54,960 Eight guys. So you need that. Yeah, I don't do it. Yeah, like I am so deficient in this entire episode 567 00:45:55,840 --> 00:46:00,400 I mean, who wouldn't want eight workers working on you all the time. Yeah, that's just the b12 though 568 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:04,480 That doesn't even add in the vitamin d the magnesium the calcium the you know, all the rest 569 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,560 I'm going to the grocery store right after this. I'm gonna buy me some workers, right? I 570 00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:18,060 Should buy I Provably ansom a worker man for my body. That's a different episode 571 00:46:20,240 --> 00:46:23,440 I'm thinking it's a brothel I am deficient in a lot of things 572 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,560 Does your b and B12 stand for brothel. Yes my dr 002 yeah 573 00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,600 Yes well 574 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:38,400 is what your multivitamin should consist of if you are also someone that looks at the aisle 575 00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:44,640 of bottles and goes, but which one? So the article that I've posted in the show notes has 576 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:51,840 like three options of specific brands and bottles that you could purchase. But if you go to, you 577 00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:58,800 know, a GNC or a vitamin shop or even Martindale's, which for us is in the area, but it's just like 578 00:46:58,800 --> 00:47:05,920 a specialty health food store, they can help you. Yeah. I mean, ask somebody. Yeah. And also, 579 00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:10,720 consult with your doctor for all of this first. We do that little tag for the legal stuff at 580 00:47:10,720 --> 00:47:15,440 the end of our episodes, but it's completely legitimate. Consult with your doctor of what 581 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:20,960 maybe your body is deficient in. Everybody needs these differently. So like, I might need more iron 582 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:26,560 and vitamin B12 than you do, where you might need more magnesium, you know, like no one's the same. 583 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,880 Right. So don't just take what we're saying and being like, Oh my gosh, I'm going to do all of 584 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:35,600 these things. Look into it. You got to look into it. You got to do your homework. Tis the season to 585 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:43,360 get on top of the cold and flu season. It just now is the time and it's only going to get more 586 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:49,840 hectic, unfortunately, if you are someone who kind of lives the season like that. And it's only 587 00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:57,360 going to get colder if you're on the East Coast. So be vigilant. Your body is a working machine. 588 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:04,400 And we don't take care of it enough. It's very similar. If you want to get a little spiritual 589 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:11,440 with me for a moment, but in a way that Carly can understand spirituality, we are having an 590 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:17,040 experience to live in this vehicle. So like, our body is a car. You bought this car, it's a brand 591 00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:22,880 new car. And you only get this one life to live in this car. You may get another chance to buy a 592 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:27,520 different car. You know, if you want to believe in that, but we won't get down that path. This is 593 00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:34,000 a vehicle. You have a BMW. You're living in a BMW. You got to change the oil. You got to put gas in 594 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,360 the car. Why are you looking like that? Because I'm thinking of my car and being like, there's 595 00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:45,680 peanuts all over the bottom and there's I run on E all the time until I get to the gas station 596 00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:51,120 at the very last minute. And how frustrating is that? There's coffee cups all over my car. I'm 597 00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:56,960 thinking about how horribly I treat my car. Right. And now, but you don't talk about your car that 598 00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:02,240 way. We talk about the vehicle we live in. We talk about our bodies like, Oh my God, I hate my body. 599 00:49:02,240 --> 00:49:06,480 Oh my God, I want to change it. Oh my God, I do all these things. But our car is fine and we can 600 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:12,400 trash it. But the vehicle that we're living in is the one that's going to get us through this life. 601 00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:16,560 And we do not take care of it the way that we should. And we only get, if you want to believe 602 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:21,200 that we only get this one life, you only get this one body. If you want to believe that you get more 603 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:26,400 than one life, it's a different body every time. But you got to take care of it. You just have to. 604 00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:31,760 And I'm saying all of this really yes for you, but really for me as well, because I'm not, 605 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,520 I'm right now not taking care of my vehicle. Yeah. My temple, whatever you want to call it, 606 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:44,560 a BMW, a temple, a church, I'm not taking care of it. I'm going to go with a lot of people 607 00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:49,520 are with you on that. I mean, I'm firmly believe that. Yeah. Oh, absolutely. I mean, 608 00:49:50,240 --> 00:49:54,960 you can tell when you're not, I mean, in many myriad of ways, you can tell that you're not 609 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:59,680 taking care of yourself, whether it's mental, if it's physical, check out your hair, check out your 610 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:04,080 skin around your nails. Like these are the simple, easy ways that we kind of bypass and we're like, 611 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:09,280 oh, I have to get my nails done. Why do you have to get your nails done? Right. Ask the question, 612 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:15,040 why? Oh, I have to get my haircut. Why? Yes, I've waited too long to get it done. But why is it 613 00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:20,480 fraying and like horse straw that early after you get it done? I mean, my mind is falling out 614 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:25,600 right now. Why is your hair falling out? You know, it's the stress and not no sleep. No, I mean, 615 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:33,920 I know why, right? But the fixing it is got to be a priority. Get on top of taking care of 616 00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:39,920 your, I'm going to keep calling it a vehicle before you lose a tire and need to call AAA. 617 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:45,520 Because that gets expensive, that sets you back. And you know that that's true. When that happens, 618 00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:49,760 you're like, oh my gosh, I was on my way to go somewhere. I need to be doing something else. 619 00:50:49,760 --> 00:50:53,600 This is taking forever. How long do I have to wait? How expensive is this going to be? 620 00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:59,680 Put that into your body. Like think about that in terms of what you live with, wake up with, 621 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,960 go to sleep with every day. And I think that's like the game changer that we need. Yeah, that's 622 00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:14,160 the aha moment. Me included. This year has been a year of like fully trashing myself to rebuild it. 623 00:51:14,160 --> 00:51:19,200 Right. Sometimes it happens. That's life. Ups and downs. We talked about that Hills and valleys, 624 00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:25,840 but like you try not to trash yourself. But try not. Try not to fully wreck the car. Yeah. You 625 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:30,320 don't want to do that. We don't want to get a new car. Yeah. No one has time for a breakdown. 626 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:39,200 Nobody has time to be on the highway broken. Right. And like a little lost. Yeah. But then when 627 00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:44,480 you're there, this is what I meant in the beginning where this is like the kick that you need or the 628 00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:50,720 sign that you need. Because once you're there and you're at that moment and you kind of understand the 629 00:51:50,720 --> 00:52:00,080 step by step way that you can get yourself back on the road. Sometimes you just need to hear it. 630 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:04,880 Like yeah, vitamin C. It's not shocking. Sometimes you need someone to be like, hey, 631 00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,800 you should do that now. Like you should do that right now. Should I do it? 632 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:18,160 I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes. I saw the sign. Oh my gosh. Nothing's gonna drag you up. 633 00:52:18,160 --> 00:52:23,840 So get into the life where you belong. Oh, no, no, no. Tune your vehicle. 634 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:30,720 You need to tune up. It needs to go into the shop because I'm not taking care of myself. 635 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:39,280 And my voice is just not there today. This is the season that everyone's like dragging. Yeah. 636 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:45,760 But why? Is it really because you're partying too much or is it because the previous season of 637 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,640 summer into fall getting here, we did not take care of ourselves? Right. It's sick local. 638 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:56,640 Stop trashing yourself. Check out the show notes. Read these articles or skim them if you're not a 639 00:52:56,640 --> 00:53:03,920 reader. But I highly suggest to start making a little bit of change now so that Christmas and 640 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:09,840 your holiday season can be joyful and not exhausting the way that it probably usually is. 641 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:16,080 I'd like that. If you're anything like this and like us, you are fit to be fried. 642 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:25,120 You're fit to be exhausted and you're fit to be just worn out. So we hope you that you are 643 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:32,480 learning and changing and making little, little tiny changes for the bigger purpose to be fit to 644 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:46,160 be real and always allowed to be a little extra.
