Oh, Melly. 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,280 If only she knew. 20 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:09,080 Mel Robbins and she had a doctor, Dr. Tara Swart Beiber. 21 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,560 No relation to Beiber that I know of. 22 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:22,680 And it was about neuroscience and how the brain and the gut are related into manifesting. 23 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,320 It was really fascinating. 24 00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:25,320 That's cool. 25 00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,800 I'll post the link to that specific episode because it really was. 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,680 There was so much juicy information and she's British. 27 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,840 She went to Oxford and that makes it better. 28 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,240 Kings College in London for her PhD and MD or whatever. 29 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,920 Yes, it makes it so much better. 30 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:42,920 I know. 31 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:43,920 I know that. 32 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,600 I was like, I will listen to everything that you have to say and everything that you're 33 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:47,600 saying is fact. 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,120 Can you do this whole episode with the British accent please? 35 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,800 So I understand and listen as well. 36 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:56,080 The harassment is so like the crown, like it was proper. 37 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,720 It was like beautiful and I can only do cockney. 38 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,440 I don't think you're gonna listen to me. 39 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600 And I think cockney people are really offended right now. 40 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,600 As you should be. 41 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:07,600 I'm really sorry. 42 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,120 I really hope cockney people are listening. 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,040 There's no such thing as a cockney person. 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,040 We're a doggo person. 45 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:16,040 There are cockney. 46 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,680 No, cockney is an accent from the ancient times. 47 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,800 From the news days from the ancient times. 48 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,880 I mean 1920s at this point is ancient. 49 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Right? 50 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,760 That was like a hundred years ago. 51 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:30,760 Your ancient. 52 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:39,800 Let's get into this. 53 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:40,800 I'm Victoria. 54 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,800 Hey guys, I'm Carly. 55 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,800 I think that was Australian. 56 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,800 Oh, damn it. 57 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,800 Hello. 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,800 Hey guys, I'm Carly. 59 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:55,400 Should we take another moment of silence for that? 60 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:56,400 I think that's my new thing. 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,880 We're going to take lots of moments of silence for all of our upcoming episodes. 62 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,840 I laughed out loud last week. 63 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:11,880 However, are you going to do this episode as like cortisol for dummies so that I understand? 64 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,960 I mean I think so because that's how I understand it. 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,800 The reason why I was so interested in what she was saying, besides the fact that that 66 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,360 episode of the Mel Robbins podcast was so interesting as a whole, I understood. 67 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,640 She broke it down in a way that I was like, oh my gosh, that makes so much sense. 68 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,400 And we all say the same phrase, I'm so bloated. 69 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,680 I feel fine, but I don't understand why I can't hold my stomach in. 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:40,080 That Victoria and I say that to each other every single day and we eat very clean. 71 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:41,440 Yes. 72 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,280 So that's another reason because I feel like this is everyone's problem. 73 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Right. 74 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320 And also it's everyone's ability to fix it. 75 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:52,960 So tell me how. 76 00:03:52,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Okay, but to first, to first today, Junior, first we have to break down what cortisol 77 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,160 is. 78 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:03,880 So we talk about this a lot because it's stress. 79 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,160 It's the stress hormone. 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360 It's the fight or flight. 81 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:08,640 And all of that's well and good. 82 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,640 But like, what's the fight or flight? 83 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:17,120 The fight or flight is the whether or not you are in fear and need to react accordingly. 84 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,800 So for example, I have a lot of carpenter bees on my front porch. 85 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,800 Oh, mugga. 86 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,760 Sorry, we said that again. 87 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,880 Mugga. 88 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,880 If you know carpenter bees, they're huge. 89 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000 They buzz, they're loud because they're so big, but they do not sting. 90 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,760 They have absolutely no interest in human beings. 91 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,480 They just want the wood in your porch. 92 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,160 It's like really bad, but they're harmless. 93 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,000 Carly screamed like a little child. 94 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Yes. 95 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,440 And I will do it again when I leave. 96 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,960 Like a shark was attacking her coming up my porch. 97 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,920 I had to do a dove through your front door. 98 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,480 I was in my room getting changed and I was like, well, Carly's here. 99 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,360 So the reason I say that though is that was your cortisol response. 100 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:02,440 That was your stress hormone. 101 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:04,680 That was your, am I in danger? 102 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,680 You were wrong. 103 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:06,680 You were not in danger. 104 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:07,680 That was. 105 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,480 But your levels of cortisol spiked because that's what your body is. 106 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,480 That's what it's. 107 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,480 That's the purpose. 108 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:15,480 Yeah. 109 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,080 To save us from dangerous situations, even if they're irrational. 110 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,120 Have you ever seen the movie stand by me? 111 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:23,320 Those are bees. 112 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,320 Those are. 113 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:25,320 Oh, sorry. 114 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,320 And bees. 115 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,320 My girl. 116 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,320 My bad. 117 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:29,320 Wrong movie. 118 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,320 My girl. 119 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,320 Whatever. 120 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,320 You're still wrong. 121 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:33,320 They're not carpenter bees. 122 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,120 They're little circles that are insanely accurate in your body. 123 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:39,120 No. 124 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,120 What? 125 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,600 Anyway, so it helps the body respond to stress. 126 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:51,080 It reduces inflammation, which might sound weird as we talk more about this. 127 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,640 Regulates blood pressure, blood sugar and metabolism, but only if it's in the appropriate 128 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:58,640 levels. 129 00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,640 Okay. 130 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,840 So that's that last sentence is what the problem is. 131 00:06:02,840 --> 00:06:04,640 Yes. 132 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:11,160 So the adrenal glands make cortisol and they are part of the kidney or they're near the 133 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,400 kidney from what I understand about anatomy. 134 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,000 So we need the adrenal glands. 135 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000 There's a bunch. 136 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,960 I'm going to talk a little bit later about this of a cocktail you can drink to. 137 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,760 A cocktail for the cockney people. 138 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,720 To regulate your adrenal glands, which will help with your cortisol levels. 139 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800 I said adrenal and she checked out, but that's why you said it because all of the 140 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,680 all I can think of is a dog when you say adrenal glands and I've told you this before. 141 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,680 Yes, but we all. 142 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,680 Okay. 143 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:40,680 Moving on. 144 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:47,680 So there are signs if your cortisol levels are too high. 145 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:49,080 What are they? 146 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,480 Weight gain in your belly and face. 147 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,720 Oh, belly and face. 148 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,720 Yes. 149 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,720 Okay. 150 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,760 So, you know how there are like shapes? 151 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,880 People are like, I'm a heart shape or I'm a round for your body or your face. 152 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,480 I think both, but generally right now I'm talking about your face. 153 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,800 Okay. 154 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,880 That is a response to your cortisol levels. 155 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,520 So if I think I'm a round face person, I think I have a lot of cortisol. 156 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:15,960 My levels are very high. 157 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:16,960 Okay. 158 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,840 So if I get this under wraps and I figure myself out to regulate, I think the shape 159 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:22,840 of my face will change. 160 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:23,840 Will change. 161 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Yes. 162 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,840 Yeah. 163 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:31,600 So I think it's like weight loss as a whole, but specifically belly fat and cortisol. 164 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,600 Okay. 165 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:33,600 No, and face. 166 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,600 Sorry. 167 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:42,680 Also, also, this is, it's the thing, a fatty hump between the blades of your shoulders. 168 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:43,680 That's like stress. 169 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,680 No way. 170 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:45,680 Yes. 171 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,280 And it's not everybody gets that. 172 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,520 Not everybody gets all of these symptoms. 173 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,280 You could have one or all, but that's one of them. 174 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Oh my gosh. 175 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,880 So, wide, wide, purple stretch marks. 176 00:07:57,880 --> 00:07:59,520 I've had them before. 177 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,520 I've had them before. 178 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,080 And I'm not talking about like after I've had a baby, I've had them before, before I 179 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,040 had kids. 180 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:09,080 I've had it before that and that just like cortisol comes and goes. 181 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,080 Great. 182 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,600 I don't, I do not have them anymore. 183 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:12,600 We're proud of you. 184 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,600 That's great. 185 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,600 So happy for you. 186 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,600 Easy bruising. 187 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:23,240 If you bruise pretty easily, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, severe fatigue, which is 188 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:28,760 confusing because we just went through COVID and also we tired. 189 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:33,960 Everyone's tired and muscle weakness, which is also confusing if you are an active like 190 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,080 weightlifter and you could be sore and tired. 191 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,080 But I think they're specific. 192 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:44,680 Like, you know, when you're just, you know, chronically, you know, I will say to you sometimes, 193 00:08:44,680 --> 00:08:45,680 something's wrong with me. 194 00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:47,160 I am, I'm tired. 195 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:48,160 We're tired all the time. 196 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:49,160 We're busy. 197 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,160 Yeah. 198 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,160 We're very active. 199 00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:57,760 We live in a state of tired, but you know when you are overly tired for no reason, no 200 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,720 reason, you're getting enough sleep, you're drinking enough water. 201 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,160 It's the feeling that you get. 202 00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:10,360 I do want to put out there that I did go to the doctor yesterday and she told me my blood 203 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,120 pressure was wonderful. 204 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,160 So in case anybody wanted to know about my blood pressure. 205 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:17,160 That's annoying. 206 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:18,160 Okay. 207 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:19,160 If you have sugar. 208 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,160 Yeah. 209 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:21,160 Just keep going. 210 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Keep going. 211 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,080 Sugar cravings or salt cravings. 212 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:25,280 That could be. 213 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,840 I have that. 214 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:33,320 I will have, depending on the week, a desire for sugar. 215 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:34,960 Like I have to have it. 216 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,240 And other weeks, it's not so bad. 217 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:37,840 Like I didn't, it's like, whatever. 218 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:44,320 So the cortisol like simulates the glucose production. 219 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,120 And that's why that is, I, and I always tell, I'm like, oh, I have to have sugar. 220 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,120 Today. 221 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,960 But then how does that, so think about that. 222 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,960 Cortisol stimulates glucose production. 223 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,800 Now number one, you're eating sugar. 224 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,600 So that creates some fat, but also glucose turns into fat. 225 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,600 Okay. 226 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:13,040 And if it's coming from the cortisol level part of it, it stores and it's more stubborn 227 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,040 than other fat. 228 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:15,040 Yes. 229 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:17,600 And the, I haven't read about this a lot. 230 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,520 So as we've said before, we are no experts on all of this. 231 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,600 We're just trying to figure it out like all of you are and trying to figure out how to 232 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,000 regulate all in every single episode. 233 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680 But what I have read about this is cortisol. 234 00:10:30,680 --> 00:10:33,680 That is the stubbornness that to get rid of. 235 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,680 It's visceral. 236 00:10:34,680 --> 00:10:35,680 Visceral? 237 00:10:35,680 --> 00:10:36,680 Yeah. 238 00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,800 So there's, um, hold on. 239 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:39,960 I haven't written down. 240 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,800 And I'm going to get this wrong. 241 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:42,800 Cool. 242 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Like pronunciation. 243 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,800 No, I can't wait. 244 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,560 There's two kinds of fat. 245 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:51,960 Subcutaneous fat. 246 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,960 Love it. 247 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,160 We're going to go with that. 248 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:56,720 That's below the skin. 249 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:58,200 Please don't take this into your doctor. 250 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,240 No, take this into your doctor. 251 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:02,320 That's below the skin. 252 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,960 Visceral fat is deep. 253 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200 It's deep within the abdominal wall. 254 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:07,200 Yeah. 255 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,080 And the, you know, stubborn. 256 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,080 It's, yeah. 257 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:11,200 And it's so hard to get rid of. 258 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,880 And I did, I have read about that because it's frustrating. 259 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:16,600 Well, there are ways. 260 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:22,720 And listen, a part of why I wanted to do this specific episode is for myself. 261 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:27,520 It's selfish because we are in control of everything. 262 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,880 And it's for, you know, those moments where you're like, well, sleep helps. 263 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:32,880 Well, I don't sleep well. 264 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:33,880 Okay. 265 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:34,880 Well, you could. 266 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,880 Yeah. 267 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,880 You could sleep well and you could do something about it. 268 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:37,880 So, right. 269 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,880 You could just go ahead out of your, you know, and do something about it. 270 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:43,880 My God. 271 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,880 It's the same with eating. 272 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,880 It's the same with working out. 273 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,840 We all have control with all of that. 274 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,160 Even the things we think we don't have control of, you have control of pivoting. 275 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,040 You have control of going in the opposite direction to figure it out. 276 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,040 Why are you laughing? 277 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,040 Because I don't want to say it so bad. 278 00:11:58,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Pivot. 279 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:00,040 Pivot. 280 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,040 Pivot. 281 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:02,040 Pivot. 282 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,760 What are the causes of belly fat? 283 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,760 Yes. 284 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,760 Stress. 285 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,760 Pregnancy. 286 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:08,760 That's obvious. 287 00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:09,760 What? 288 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,240 A serious illness, right? 289 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,160 Cushing's disease is a lot of high cortisol levels, not specific. 290 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,920 Underactive thyroid. 291 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,800 And that's like the number one thing when you are having trouble losing weight or whatever, 292 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,400 you want to get your thyroid checked out. 293 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:26,760 Now, it's true. 294 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,880 If you have a thyroid problem, that is a reason. 295 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,000 But people tend to go to that to be like, oh, it must be my thyroid. 296 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:35,080 I'm not laughing at all. 297 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,520 I'm not going to be thyroid people that have thyroid issues. 298 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,800 The thyroid cock-nade-pick pump. 299 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,200 But I have gone to the doctor when I couldn't lose weight after having a baby being like, 300 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:46,200 it's got to be my thyroid. 301 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,400 And they were like, I think it's the burgers and alcohol. 302 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,200 And I was like, oh, OK. 303 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,200 Never mind. 304 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,200 Shut down. 305 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:53,200 Obesity. 306 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,200 Obviously. 307 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,200 Health issues. 308 00:12:55,200 --> 00:13:00,040 Heart issues due to obesity. 309 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:03,880 And certain medications, i.e. steroids. 310 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,600 Are a big one when it comes to that poor diet, lack of sleep, lack of exercise. 311 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:09,800 They're the three we know. 312 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:11,240 They're the three we think of. 313 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,280 And they're the three we obviously have the most control over. 314 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,600 Stress is I would put that in there with one of the ones I know. 315 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,600 Yes. 316 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:19,920 But you also do this. 317 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,520 And this I have a star next to. 318 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,160 And I was like, I'm saying this because I say this to her all of the time. 319 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,160 And you ignore me. 320 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:28,160 OK. 321 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,120 100% of the time because it's something that you just can't deal with. 322 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:33,120 Well, I'm consistent. 323 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:38,200 That you are consistent with your crazy. 324 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:46,560 So your body can feel stressed, but you don't mentally feel stressed. 325 00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:50,120 Because when I say to you, what's your what is your stress like? 326 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:51,120 How are you feeling? 327 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:52,120 You're like, I'm not stressed. 328 00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:53,120 I'm not stressed. 329 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,120 I'm fine. 330 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:55,120 Bullshit. 331 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,120 Yeah. 332 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,360 Because your body is still stressed from what happened before. 333 00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,360 OK. 334 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,800 Whereas in still a state of stress, maybe your entire life, not necessarily you. 335 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:03,800 Just in general. 336 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,080 Your body, there's a book called The Body Keeps a Score. 337 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,760 Now that's about specific trauma and how your body continues to hold on to trauma. 338 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,440 But it's the same thing. 339 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,840 Just because you're stressed one week doesn't mean all of a sudden it goes away because 340 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,440 you didn't do anything about it. 341 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,680 You're just not thinking about what happened in that event. 342 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:20,680 Right. 343 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:21,760 But it's still in your body. 344 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,720 And that is what keeps your cortisol levels spiked up. 345 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:26,840 And you. 346 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:32,000 So when we say you have control over it, that really is out of our control. 347 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,600 If I say I'm not stressed, I mean it. 348 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:35,600 No. 349 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:36,600 No. 350 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,920 You say you're not stressed because. 351 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:41,920 Because I don't. 352 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,200 I'm not like worried about anything. 353 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,360 I don't have any anxiety about it. 354 00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:48,320 But that doesn't mean that's not necessarily just stress on your day to day. 355 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,160 You are running your busy schedule from morning, noon to night, minute to minute without relaxation, 356 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,080 without sitting down, taking a moment to yourself, feeling productive just by recovering. 357 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,080 No. 358 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,080 Yeah. 359 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,920 You're under stress at all times because your brain is thinking I have to go here. 360 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,600 I have to make sure he gets picked up. 361 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:07,920 If I don't have, we have one car. 362 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,080 I gotta make sure you're constantly going. 363 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,840 Remember that busy town from last week? 364 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:12,840 Yes. 365 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:13,840 Your body is in that stress. 366 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,840 Okay. 367 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,840 That's stress. 368 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,960 You may not feel anxious about a specific situation you have to deal with that you're 369 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,240 trying to procrastinate over. 370 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,760 Because that's your usual M.L. 371 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,240 A love, a good procrastination. 372 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,160 But that's like where your stress comes from. 373 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,600 Like you're, I'm stressed. 374 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,240 When you feel like you can admit your stress, it's because there is a situation you are 375 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,760 dealing with at the forefront. 376 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080 That's not the only time you're stressed. 377 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,160 Your body is under stress to say there is a situation. 378 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,000 Remember that holding grudges episode? 379 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,600 There was a situation that happened. 380 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,920 Your body's still feeling that because you haven't released it. 381 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:50,240 You just stopped thinking about it. 382 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,480 Oh yeah, you're right. 383 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680 But still like in my body, like living rent free. 384 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:56,680 Exactly. 385 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,600 Living rent free like the kids say. 386 00:15:58,600 --> 00:15:59,600 Look at that. 387 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,600 You're a youth. 388 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:01,600 Amazing. 389 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,600 It took way too long for you to get that. 390 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:10,600 Well, listen, sometimes it needs to be broken down because when you don't understand things 391 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,960 specifically, it's like a hamster wheel of the same things happening over and over again 392 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,480 and never gets fixed. 393 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,480 Yeah. 394 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:19,480 Yes. 395 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:20,480 Yeah. 396 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,840 No, that makes a lot of sense because yes, I'm not thinking about a stressful situation 397 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:28,440 right now, but my body went through a little traumatizing stressful situation that I could 398 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:29,440 not kick. 399 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:30,440 Thank you. 400 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:37,360 And when you don't address your stress and you don't actively self care, which is what 401 00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:46,600 we've now been talking about for 67 weeks in 2023 to 2024. 402 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Where do you think the stress goes? 403 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,040 Yeah. 404 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,200 No, it just lives rent free in my body. 405 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,040 It stores in your body like fat. 406 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,040 Yeah. 407 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,320 It stores in your body like stress. 408 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,120 It's the same thing. 409 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:58,960 That's why self care is so important. 410 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:00,800 I think I got it today. 411 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,200 Well, we're going to keep talking through why you should get it more, though, because 412 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:09,560 we haven't gotten to why I was so enamored by the conversation in the podcast and I'm 413 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:11,560 going to explain it right now. 414 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,280 My God. 415 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:20,280 Cortisol correlates with fear, anger, shame and all of those emotions that connect to 416 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,280 that, right? 417 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:22,280 That's the fight or flight. 418 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,120 That's like the whatever. 419 00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:30,400 When a moment or an event happens that causes your cortisol levels, your stress hormones 420 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,120 to spike, we respond to that. 421 00:17:34,120 --> 00:17:39,200 So you saw the bees, your body went, oh my gosh, I need to scream. 422 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,440 Yeah. 423 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,080 Because that's going to save you. 424 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:45,680 But in any case, that was your response. 425 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:51,000 I need to scream and then I need to run through them and pretend like they're not going to 426 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,000 run into me. 427 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,560 I literally put a shark fin over my head and ran through them. 428 00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,960 But that was your danger danger, right? 429 00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:04,200 So what normally happens or what should happen is that that spike happens, you're out of 430 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,840 danger, your cortisol levels drop again. 431 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:12,160 So that bell curve, it goes up, it saves you to keep you to survive and then it goes back 432 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,560 to the spectrum. 433 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,960 So what cortisol does is it's carried through our blood supply from the adrenal glands and 434 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,840 in the blood supply, it goes to the blood brain barrier. 435 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,200 So basically, it goes to the brain. 436 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,840 This is how our gut and our brain are connected. 437 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:38,800 So those receptors in the brain monitor things that sense danger, like what you just went 438 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:39,800 through. 439 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,160 They monitor the threat. 440 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:50,080 And so when those levels reach those high danger danger, the body and the brain need 441 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:51,080 to survive. 442 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,280 That is it's only that is the number one response the brain does, no matter whether it's carpenter 443 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,680 bees or a murderer. 444 00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,680 We need to survive. 445 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:00,680 Same thing. 446 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,280 But yeah, I mean, it's the same thing. 447 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,280 I would react the same to both situations. 448 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,640 Oh my God, I mean, you're going to die. 449 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:19,200 So in any case, that's the first threat that the brain considers is to survive. 450 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,800 So here's why I got really interested. 451 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:24,800 We are in 2024. 452 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:25,800 Right? 453 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:26,800 Yeah. 454 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,480 We are the same as cavemen. 455 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:29,480 We're just more evolved. 456 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:30,480 Right? 457 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:31,480 Yeah, yeah. 458 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,880 The cortisol levels react like cavemen. 459 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,560 We are still in that reaction. 460 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:44,080 And when it fears danger, they described it in the podcast as like saber two tigers because 461 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,920 that's what would be around for cavemen. 462 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:52,680 So if you saw one, your thought process as a thought process as a caveman would think, 463 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:54,440 what can I do to stay alive? 464 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,960 Where do I where do I need to go to stay alive? 465 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,880 And you go and you hide to get away from the threat. 466 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:09,800 So what the body does as a caveman, which is the same as our bodies do now in 2024 is 467 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:15,720 that brain response sends starvation mode to the body. 468 00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,840 And what starvation mode is now we are lucky. 469 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:26,160 And hopefully many, many, many people are lucky to never know the real starvation. 470 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:36,280 But the starvation is due to that animal instinct of needing to store up in never knowing when 471 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,480 that tiger is going to leave. 472 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:45,560 So the animal instinct and that that nature that is within us dates back to those cavemen. 473 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,360 And it lays down the cortisol levels that stay like that lays down an extra layer of 474 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:58,080 fat in the abdominal wall and the fat cells so that if we are unable to hunt or gather, 475 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,760 we can digest the fat and stay alive. 476 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,760 Right. 477 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,680 That I do understand until we can go get some food. 478 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:07,560 But we're in 2024 and we don't think like that, right? 479 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,000 That that's what's happening. 480 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,040 So our bodies are still in that danger tiger, how are we going to eat? 481 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:23,120 Let's send all of the fat to our belly so that we can feed ourselves and survive without 482 00:21:23,120 --> 00:21:26,000 actually taking in food. 483 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:27,680 And that's all it is. 484 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:35,480 So quite literally, you fear, you feel a sense of stress, your levels stay high and your 485 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:44,120 brain sends conversations to your body to send fat to your stomach. 486 00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:45,960 That's all it is. 487 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:51,920 And that comes out into your face, your stomach, bloats. 488 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,960 Even though you are primarily muscle, like look at your body. 489 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,080 Carly is primarily muscle. 490 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,120 I don't know how much you ain't, it doesn't matter because if you look at you, you are 491 00:22:03,120 --> 00:22:08,080 toned, there's not much fat, but there are days that you walk in and you're like, I can't 492 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,080 hold my stomach. 493 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,880 I ate so well, I'm doing well, I'm working out every day, I'm the healthiest I've ever 494 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,040 been, but I can't hold my stomach in. 495 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,400 And me goes, you're an idiot, walk away from me. 496 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:20,480 I know she literally is like. 497 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,760 Your big stomach is everyone's dream. 498 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,840 However, what do you say? 499 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:25,840 But I feel bad. 500 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,080 I don't feel good. 501 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,800 Like I literally, quite literally do not feel good. 502 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,120 And I don't know why. 503 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:34,960 I'm stressed that you haven't taken care of. 504 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,960 That's your why. 505 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,200 Yeah, there it is. 506 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:43,640 Your why is I am in a state of stress at all times, even though I mentally don't feel 507 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,560 like it this week or next week or last week. 508 00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,920 But my body is feeling it. 509 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:51,560 But my body keeps the score. 510 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:53,360 I think that makes sense. 511 00:22:53,360 --> 00:22:54,360 Yes. 512 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:58,000 I think what you're saying, I know what you're saying is brilliant. 513 00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Thank you. 514 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,680 Thank you so much. 515 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:02,880 I wouldn't go there. 516 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:09,840 I think what you're saying is also that everybody needs to recover because when your body is 517 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,720 under a lot of stress, you absolutely need to recover. 518 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,720 And I'm like, I couldn't work out harder today. 519 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,800 And why does my stomach feel like I ate a burger last night at 10 o'clock? 520 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:21,800 Exactly. 521 00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,680 Because I don't take a rest day. 522 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,680 Your stress is stored. 523 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,200 Yeah, your stress is stored. 524 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,200 But it's not even just a rest day. 525 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:29,200 It's daily practices. 526 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Yeah. 527 00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,040 It's totally mental, too. 528 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:33,040 It's exactly. 529 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:34,040 Yeah. 530 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:35,240 It's self-care. 531 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:40,040 It's doing all the things that Victoria's been telling us to do for a year and a half 532 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,040 with our mind and being mindful. 533 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,040 But look at me. 534 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:43,040 I haven't done it either. 535 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,040 No, I know. 536 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:49,480 But I'm saying it's all of those things, all within our power to do, all within our 537 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:51,080 power to change. 538 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,480 And if you don't do them, then you walk in the office and saying, I don't know why I 539 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,480 don't feel good. 540 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,480 Right. 541 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,480 But you know why. 542 00:23:57,480 --> 00:23:58,480 Right. 543 00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,480 You're not taking care of yourself fully. 544 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:00,600 You might be eating well. 545 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,600 You might not be drinking. 546 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:02,800 You might be working out. 547 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:03,880 But your mind's not right. 548 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,040 I haven't had a drink in almost three years now. 549 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,400 And I'm the most stressed I've ever been. 550 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:14,560 And everybody says when you stop drinking or you take away soda from your diet, you'll 551 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,240 drop 20 pounds, 30 pounds, because that's such a regular thing in your life. 552 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,760 And after COVID, that became a regular thing in our life. 553 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:23,080 And I only gained weight. 554 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,080 Right. 555 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:25,240 Because of so many other factors. 556 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:26,440 So many other factors. 557 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,320 One being I was eating so poorly. 558 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,440 I'm eating healthily now, but my stress levels are through the roof. 559 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,440 And I know that. 560 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,520 I know how stressed and overwhelmed I am. 561 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:40,320 But there's a difference because when I come in and I'm like, I don't know why I don't 562 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,320 feel good. 563 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:42,680 And Victoria will say, I don't feel good. 564 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:43,680 And I know exactly why. 565 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:44,680 I know exactly why. 566 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,280 I know exactly why. 567 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,920 And I'm, and I, this is my episode to kick myself in the pants to be like, okay. 568 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:52,920 Yeah. 569 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,280 Like do something about it. 570 00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,280 Here's the other part though, what people don't understand with that whole fight or 571 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,160 flight thing, the whole, your body is storing food for survival. 572 00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:06,160 Yeah. 573 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,680 That when you under eat and you are saying, I only ate one meal a day today, right? 574 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:17,980 Well, your body is going to store that and hold on to the fat because you're not feeding 575 00:25:17,980 --> 00:25:18,980 your body. 576 00:25:18,980 --> 00:25:21,560 So it's going to say, I don't know when I'm getting my next meal. 577 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,320 And we'll have people that do our fit coaching program and say, I'm not hungry. 578 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:26,320 I don't feel like eating. 579 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:30,360 Well, then your body is going to do the reverse and you're going to do that gaining weight 580 00:25:30,360 --> 00:25:35,600 because if you don't eat enough for your body, your body is going to basically reject you 581 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,360 and store as much fat as it can. 582 00:25:38,360 --> 00:25:41,760 You are the tiger, right? 583 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,920 To the caveman and your body is trying to protect itself. 584 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,520 So it doesn't know when it's going, you're going to get fed again. 585 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:49,680 And so what's it going to do? 586 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,540 It's going to hold it in the places. 587 00:25:51,540 --> 00:25:53,560 You don't want it to be held, right? 588 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,400 And then Victoria will sometimes say, well, you didn't eat dinner last night. 589 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,920 And I'm like, I was so tired. 590 00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,360 And she's like, well, that's your fault. 591 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,440 Your body is going to hold on to and make you not feel good because you're going to 592 00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,400 hold on to it because you're not eating enough and your body knows that. 593 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,120 So you know, there's so many different factors and the light bulb just needs to go off. 594 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:16,920 But the cortisol, I'm going to say a big word. 595 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:18,920 The cortisol, the cortisol correlation. 596 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,920 Correlation is just, yeah, I was, I want to take that back. 597 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,920 No, you can't. 598 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:32,720 It's so important because we have people all the time saying, I'm working out every day. 599 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,220 I'm eating healthy. 600 00:26:34,220 --> 00:26:36,680 People meeting you. 601 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,360 And Victoria is the first one to say, how's your stress? 602 00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:41,360 How's your water? 603 00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:42,360 How's your sleep? 604 00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:43,360 How's your stress? 605 00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:44,360 Yeah. 606 00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,360 Then. 607 00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:47,160 Then everything about food. 608 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:48,160 Yeah, exactly. 609 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,520 But I, the reason why I do that with you is because I already know what the food and 610 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:53,520 the workout situation is. 611 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:54,520 Right. 612 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,720 But when, even when we're doing our program that we have, you'll say, well, what's the 613 00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,760 stress level like? 614 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,000 And some people will say, I'm fine. 615 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,120 But now it makes sense. 616 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,760 It's not just today stress. 617 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,060 Not just today. 618 00:27:10,060 --> 00:27:11,720 There are some tips. 619 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,720 And I love this. 620 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:13,800 I love this girl. 621 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,040 Her name is Rebecca Holland. 622 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,040 And she has a great accent. 623 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,040 Of course she does. 624 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:19,040 Yes. 625 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:23,440 But her handle is at health with Holland. 626 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:28,320 And she is primarily and solely regulation cortisol levels. 627 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:29,320 Really? 628 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:30,320 Adrenal gland stuff. 629 00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:31,320 Yes. 630 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,320 That is all she does. 631 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,520 You gotta stop saying adrenal gland. 632 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,920 It really, it makes me, my skin crawl, it makes me uncomfortable. 633 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,840 My God. 634 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:45,120 One tip to regulate your cortisol stress level hormones. 635 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:49,720 Even rich breakfast in an hour after you wake up. 636 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:50,720 Okay. 637 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,440 Which we already do that. 638 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,680 And this is about us. 639 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:56,440 You're not going to like this next one though. 640 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:58,880 Because I've said this before and I do it. 641 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:00,800 But I don't think you do it. 642 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,440 Water first, not coffee. 643 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,200 And one coffee a day after you eat breakfast. 644 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,920 So I'll get on the water first train. 645 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,280 Water first train. 646 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:13,080 Then don't ever talk to me. 647 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:14,080 That's fine. 648 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:17,720 But I can't stick to the one cup of coffee a day. 649 00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,120 So protein after an hour of waking up. 650 00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,120 So during that hour you drink your water and you wake up. 651 00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:28,280 And I'm going to give you a recipe that you could drink as well with your water before 652 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:29,440 you have coffee. 653 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,560 So eat breakfast, then have your coffee. 654 00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:33,960 That all helps with this. 655 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:34,960 Think about it. 656 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:35,960 Caffeine, it's a spike. 657 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:37,960 So we're already raising our cortisol. 658 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,320 The moment we wake up we're like, hey, let's stress out. 659 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,320 That's insane. 660 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,520 Like, why do we do that? 661 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:49,440 Daily non-negotiable walk, she said. 662 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:50,440 Non-negotiable. 663 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,000 And it doesn't have to be long. 664 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,920 It could be you walking to Wawa to get your coffee. 665 00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,320 Let's make it doable. 666 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:02,080 Mindful eating anytime you eat. 667 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,080 OK. 668 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:04,080 I can do that. 669 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:05,080 No, you can't. 670 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,080 Oh. 671 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:07,080 Don't get your phone out. 672 00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:08,080 No. 673 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,080 That's not mindful. 674 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:10,080 That's right. 675 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,920 The mindful eating is when you have to think about what you're eating. 676 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:15,560 No, you just have to not distract your brain. 677 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,880 You're working your brain. 678 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,520 Because what are you doing? 679 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,400 You're taking in all the images and you're taking in all of the whatever you're scrolling 680 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,000 through stupid, real housewife stuff. 681 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:28,360 Clear bedtime, clear routine. 682 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,360 What? 683 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:30,920 And do not sacrifice it for anybody. 684 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,120 Have a, no, I mean set a clear bedtime for yourself. 685 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,280 You're like, clear it. 686 00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,560 Just like, don't do it. 687 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,360 Just clear it off the plan. 688 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,360 No. 689 00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,000 Set one that you're going to do. 690 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,640 I will say, because I think that's hard for people. 691 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:47,760 Like if you're at a show and the show is from eight to 10, you're like, do you just don't 692 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,760 go to the show? 693 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:49,960 Like you got to live your life too. 694 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,160 But I think during the week, I definitely need a bedtime. 695 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:57,920 Like I went to bed last night at nine o'clock and it was wonderful. 696 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,560 And I was like, I should do this more often. 697 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:01,560 Yeah. 698 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:04,040 But then you get to Friday, Saturday, Sunday and you feel like crap on Monday because you 699 00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:05,680 did not keep your routine. 700 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,440 And that happens every single weekend. 701 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,800 But I saw the Michael Jackson musical and I enjoyed that. 702 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,680 So then you start up on a Sunday or a Monday morning feeling completely unrested and you 703 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,720 have to reregulate every single week. 704 00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:18,720 Right. 705 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,720 But what am I? 706 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:20,720 So what are you saying? 707 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,720 I can't go to events. 708 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,720 You don't go to events anyway. 709 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,120 Actually, you have much more of a life than I do. 710 00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:29,160 You do go to a lot more events, but figure it out. 711 00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:35,920 So no phone an hour before you sleep or an hour after you wake up. 712 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:36,920 I agree. 713 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:37,920 I agree. 714 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,960 Until you eat breakfast or until or when you get into your bed, put the phone away. 715 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:48,280 The last one is a daily gratitude journal because the mindful stuff is just as important 716 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:49,280 as the physical stuff. 717 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,200 And we can't say it enough. 718 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,120 I'm not saying I don't agree for every single one of these. 719 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,640 What about the time when you take the phone away from the hour before you go to bed and 720 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:03,520 you get a book out real quick and you write something for four seconds, stop yelling at 721 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,640 me. 722 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:13,280 This adrenal cocktail that Rebecca Holland, Health with Holland has put out, it's out 723 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,400 there. 724 00:31:16,400

a big one. 729 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:40,400 Can you imagine if we did all of the stuff from every episode? 730 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:44,280 Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C. It boosts immune system. 731 00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,280 It helps reduce susceptibility. 732 00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:48,280 I can't. 733 00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:49,280 I can't. 734 00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,280 Cut. 735 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,680 Lemon juice is rich in vitamin C.
