00:00:36,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Welcome to Soul Decodes. Join us as we wander off the path to find the ideas that fascinate. We talk about spirituality, the mind, the ego, wellness and hidden history with tips, travels and tales. Charms for a better life.

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Hello beautiful people and welcome. My name is Dr. Tia Jolie Phillips. You're listening to Soul Decodes and this is a special occasion for us because we're coming up on a new year.

6
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
A new year. 2025 approaching.

7
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I'm with Sarah Teary. She's an author. She's a writer and a philosopher and a thinker.

8
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Or a non-thinker if I'm trying not to think.

9
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:30,000
But you've got a lot of things on your mind. We both had super busy holiday schedules.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:36,000
It was all we could do to find some time to squeeze in to get this holiday or this new year special done.

11
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
This is your time. Tell us what you want to do for the new year.

12
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Well, so I've been thinking about it and I'm curious to know why it is we want to do something on the 1st of January that we've committed to this future moment.

13
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And is that because we're hedonistic to the point we'd much rather having discipline takes place in the future or discipline takes place now.

14
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So there must be some hedonism behind that. It's fascinating.

15
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I don't know. What do we keep postponing here?

16
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So that's what you want to open with. A new year's resolution.

17
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Fascinating. It's fascinating because it's very similar in many ways to what I wanted to open with. But before we do any opening, I wanted to tell you some good news.

18
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:36,000
First of all, we have three new countries. We're in a lot of countries now. Even though we're brand new.

19
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
For those of you who are brand new to Soul Decodes, we just started in August of 2024.

20
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I think we've got 14 or 15 episodes now, but we have The Netherlands came on board.

21
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
So if you're in The Netherlands, thank you for listening.

22
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000
But also, can you believe it? This is the first month we've got Mexico and Canada.

23
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:04,000
We've had all these countries. We need to get a map up here. We really do. Let's put it over there and get a pin in it and put all this and then we'll link up.

24
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:11,000
That'll be nice. For those of you who don't know, Sarah's designing my studio. I am. We need a map up over here. It's a huge studio.

25
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:19,000
I just want to say that's awesome. And then for those in the United States, can you, you want to guess what the top city is for listeners in the United States?

26
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I have no clue. Believe it or not, Orlando. So why is that then? I don't know. I guess there's just a bunch of cool people in Orlando.

27
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:35,000
I think Florida is a cool place. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. So Orlando is our top. Cool people in Orlando.

28
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:43,000
I'm always going to sometimes list the top three. And right now we have Orlando's number one for listenership. Thank you Orlando.

29
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Thank you Orlando. We love you. I'm going to see you tomorrow.

30
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Yeah, you're going to Orlando. Yes, I'm going to Orlando tomorrow.

31
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Oh, that's so cool. And then next is Annapolis. So what state's that in? It's in Maryland.

32
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Annapolis is Maryland? Yeah. Oh, I'm doing Minneapolis. Annapolis. Annapolis is in Maryland.

33
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:10,000
But that's where the, I think that's where the Naval Academy is. So maybe we have Naval. And then the third one, a city called Ashburn.

34
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Where's that? It's, I think it's in the Carolinas. I was going to say it sounds like, it does sound Carolina.

35
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:23,000
I just pulled these off the internet and I was like, wow, Ashburn. We have some cool people in Ashburn too.

36
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000
So I just want to thank you all. We're going to talk about our New Year's goals later, but I just want to thank you all.

37
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:34,000
And if you find value with what we're doing with Soul Decodes, please share with your friends and family.

38
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And we even have people close to us that still don't know about our podcast. So just share with other people.

39
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Nice, thank you. But I'm excited that you wanted to open up with this idea of what is this whole thing about New Year's?

40
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000
What is this about? What's our fascination? For those of us who are not as advanced as you,

41
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,000
what do you mean when you say this hedonistic tendency?

42
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Well, for me, New Year's resolution seems to revolve around the idea that we're going to do something that we haven't been doing.

43
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And so the reason that we haven't been doing it and we know that we should do it is because we lack discipline.

44
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:15,000
And we could lack discipline because we have these hedonistic tendencies to not want to have discipline.

45
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
So for me, we've got to, I mean, having discipline is huge.

46
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I mean, you know more about them than a lot of people because of your background.

47
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
But we want to postpone discipline, I think, to the 1st of January.

48
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
And then we're going to see how long we can have discipline for.

49
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:36,000
And it could be 24 hours or you could get to your goal, right?

50
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,000
And it's always to do with having more discipline. I've never heard.

51
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,000
If I would say to you, what's your New Year's resolution? You probably don't have one, do you?

52
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,000
I have several.

53
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Oh, OK. What are they?

54
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,000
I have a whole bunch of them.

55
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Oh, do you? OK. It can't be discipline, though.

56
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Well, this is a really good question.

57
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,000
It's already discipline.

58
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
But I really love where you're going with this.

59
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Let's make this a tapestry because you throw some points out.

60
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000
My perspective on New Year's is that it's really kind of a bogus concept as it stands right now

61
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
because our New Year is January 1st.

62
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:19,000
How do we come up with January 1st, the middle of freaking winter in most places in the world?

63
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Why is it January 1st?

64
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,000
What would you rather it be?

65
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
Well, I think if you really look at this, because everything cycles, right?

66
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000
The Earth, the moon, the stars, everything's a season, everything's a cycle.

67
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Even our bodies have like bio rhythms, right? We have these different cycles.

68
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
We have circadian rhythms.

69
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
Everything's a cycle. Everything's a rhythm.

70
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,000
When I think of a new year, I think of a new birth.

71
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
I think of a new season.

72
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
And if I had to pick my choice of what the new year should be,

73
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I would think it would be either the first day of spring.

74
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,000
What day is that? Like 1st of April or something?

75
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
No, it's March 21st.

76
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
OK, the spring.

77
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
It's the equinox.

78
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Equinox, that's right.

79
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
So it's the vernal equinox.

80
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Yeah, so you think we're a couple of months too early for no goddamn good reason.

81
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
For really no good reason.

82
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:07,000
There's no good reason.

83
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,000
In a previous episode I asked...

84
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Someone took it by the...

85
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
But then even if you don't go with that,

86
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,000
you can link it up to the lunar cycle or something like that that makes sense.

87
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:22,000
But to me, and this is a throwback to my friendships with my pagan friends,

88
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,000
to me the new year is the new birth.

89
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,000
It's the fertility of the world, the Earth.

90
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
This is where the plants, the seedlings come forth from the ground.

91
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:35,000
There's this beautiful...

92
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Scratching, yeah.

93
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
This beautiful emergence of life.

94
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
So why are we celebrating new life, new year?

95
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:42,000
In the dead of winter.

96
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:43,000
In the dead of winter, it makes no sense.

97
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
This is absolutely bizarre really.

98
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
I've never thought about that before, but it really is, it's bizarre.

99
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Really, I gave it very little thought until we committed to this episode.

100
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Yeah, and here we are, 1st of January.

101
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,000
But I think that depends geographically where you are as well,

102
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
because it could be warm right now.

103
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,000
I mean, I think it's summer in South Africa.

104
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Yeah, that's why I said for most of the world...

105
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
So it would have to depend on the time zone that you live in.

106
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
So you'd rather it be the 21st of March.

107
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Well, I think that, I mean, I don't have a preference,

108
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
but I would like something that makes sense.

109
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Yes, it doesn't make any sense.

110
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
It's rooted in some logic.

111
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
And we talked about this in a previous episode.

112
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And for those of you who are brand new to Soul Decodes,

113
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
don't think that, oh, I missed the first 12 episodes,

114
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I can't go back and listen to them,

115
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
because you and I have covered a lot, Sarah,

116
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
over the first 12, 13, 14 episodes.

117
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,000
I think it's worth going back and listening.

118
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Sure.

119
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,000
And then you can catch up with the rest of us, us cool people.

120
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Yeah, binge them.

121
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
Just go and binge watch.

122
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
Go on a road trip.

123
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Go seven hours and then come back seven hours later.

124
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,000
There we go.

125
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:58,000
So what's on your New Year's resolution list then?

126
00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000
Can you share?

127
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Well, I mean, so I've got different affirmations.

128
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:06,000
The idea of discipline, I don't, to me,

129
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:10,000
if something's going to happen, it's up to you to make it happen.

130
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
This goes back to your book.

131
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
But discipline, it could mean, well, it depends what's on your list, though.

132
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:16,000
I won't know.

133
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
But supposing your goal was to lose 20 pounds.

134
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,000
That is going to, there's no affirmation that's going to,

135
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,000
you actually will have to cut calories and move more.

136
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
There will have to be some doing.

137
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
You can cut calories if calories is what's causing the extra weight.

138
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Yes, OK.

139
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Or you can cut chemicals.

140
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Most people are eating way too many chemicals, therefore they're overweight.

141
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:40,000
So it's the chemicals that are causing our metabolisms to slow down then?

142
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Well, part of my New Year's resolution is to eat cleanly again.

143
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,000
I'm quite good at that periodically, but I have to.

144
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,000
Well, I think, OK, let's talk about weight

145
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,000
because there's a lot of people out there who want to lose weight.

146
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
I'm going to say don't lose weight.

147
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
You want to lose fat.

148
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:57,000
That's what I mean.

149
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,000
Because a lot of us, you want...

150
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Yes, that's an interchangeable term for me, fat and weight.

151
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
But you're right, you don't want to lose muscle.

152
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Because you don't want to lose muscle.

153
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
A lot of people run into problems when they lose muscle.

154
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
That's a bad idea.

155
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000
And so for those who want to really lose weight,

156
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:20,000
stop counting calories as much and start counting chemicals.

157
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:24,000
A chemical is anything that, first of all, even you can get chemicals from plants.

158
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:28,000
So you can't just say it's natural because you can get chemicals from plants.

159
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,000
What I would say is not all chemicals are equal.

160
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:35,000
If I get nutrients from a plant, those nutrients are configured

161
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
in a way that's not typically toxic to my system.

162
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I say typically because if you serve me a plate of poison ivy,

163
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
that's natural, it's organic, but it's not configured for me to consume.

164
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
So let's just be smart, you've got to be smart.

165
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Just because it says natural, I mean arsenic is natural.

166
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,000
So we have to be smart.

167
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Does something serve us? Can I get it from the garden?

168
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Can I get it from the earth?

169
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:11,000
If I take an enzyme or if I take something, a carbohydrate from the earth,

170
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
those molecules are left-handed molecules.

171
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
And those are configured in a way that I can absorb them.

172
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:21,000
My body looks at those and says, hey, that looks like something that's from a plant,

173
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,000
let that in the door.

174
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:29,000
So the closer you can get to the garden, the more likely it's going to be not toxic to you.

175
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
But when you introduce chemicals that are left- or right-handed molecules,

176
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:38,000
those are molecules that are twisted, if you use your right hand, and twist it like this up.

177
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:45,000
That means the chirality or the spin of the molecule is opposite what you would have in nature.

178
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,000
So you could say, well, this is an enzyme that's found in nature,

179
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:56,000
but if it's produced in a lab, sometimes the chirality or the molecular structure is similar to,

180
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
it's got the same number of carbons and nitrogen and hydrogen and all this stuff.

181
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
It's got the same numbers, the same quantities, but the spin of the molecule is different.

182
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Therefore, when you eat it, your body doesn't recognize it.

183
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
So if you're buying some strawberries from the local supermarket,

184
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
they could have been preserved with a load of chemicals,

185
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:20,000
and therefore, even though that thing, oh, that's really good, I'm eating those, it's not good for you.

186
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,000
That's correct.

187
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:27,000
So how realistic is it for anyone to have a life where they've got to grow their own food,

188
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,000
or they're going to have to buy organic, they're going to have to spend their money on that?

189
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
What if they don't have the money to do that?

190
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,000
Well, you brought up two issues. One is how difficult is it, how realistic is it to grow some food?

191
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:46,000
Well, I have this idea for this New Year's diet, so the premise of this diet is that you can only eat

192
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,000
what has a skin, what has a shell, what comes from a husk or a pod.

193
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
So let's just go through a few.

194
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:59,000
So bananas are fine because they're in the skin, avocado is fine, pineapples are fine,

195
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,000
any type of nuts fine, soya beans fine, shrimp is okay because it's in a shell.

196
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
So if you just have, I don't know what I would call it, the shell pod skin husk diet,

197
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
but if you just set those ingredients, so I'm going to do this, I'm going to go to Publix,

198
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:21,000
and I'm going to give myself a week's worth of food, but it can only be in the shell husk pod that it came in.

199
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
You have to peel it or get it out, because that's, to me, it's already preserved itself

200
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000
because it's got its own little casing around it.

201
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
An egg would be fine, for example, because that has a shell.

202
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
Does that sound like a plan?

203
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,000
That sounds very novel, and I think that I admire you. I've never really...

204
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Well, what about if I get you the ingredients, you do it with me.

205
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:43,000
Now, I know that you're plant-based, so I wouldn't get you shrimp or eggs,

206
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,000
but I think just to try and eat something that comes in its own casing,

207
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I really want to try and give it all of January if I can.

208
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
So let me just throw this out there.

209
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:57,000
There's a difference between plant-based eaters and vegans.

210
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,000
What's the difference? You told me this before, remind me.

211
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Well, a vegan is defined by what they don't do.

212
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:10,000
I don't eat dead animal carcasses or animal byproducts.

213
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000
So if you're a vegan, you're defined by what you don't do.

214
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
If you're a plant-based eater, it's more of an affirmative thing.

215
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Yes.

216
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Where you say...

217
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,000
But isn't the end result the same, that you don't eat animal carcasses?

218
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,000
By a vegan standard, I could go and eat Oreo cookies.

219
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,000
Yes.

220
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,000
I didn't eat a dead animal.

221
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,000
And beer.

222
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,000
And you could drink beer.

223
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:35,000
And drink beer, yeah.

224
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
You could party. You could completely party.

225
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Yeah, you could fuck your whole body up.

226
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
You could eat Doritos. You could eat...

227
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Yeah.

228
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
French fries.

229
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Because by that standard...

230
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,000
Because I've seen a lot of very unhealthy vegans.

231
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,000
Because you're saying... You're defining yourself with two negatives.

232
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
Have you met more healthy vegans than unhealthy, though?

233
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Oh, light years.

234
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Yeah, OK.

235
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Typically, I mean, I could just...

236
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Just by smelling people, I can tell if they're a meat eater.

237
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Oh, God, that's awful.

238
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Oh, I know.

239
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Yeah.

240
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,000
If you're a plant-based eater for any period of time, you really don't have body...

241
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
So when I walk in, then, you're like, oh, she's had some bacon for breakfast.

242
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,000
I was like, Jesus Christ.

243
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,000
I'm like, what?

244
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
What, did you eat a pig?

245
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,000
How many dead carcasses did you eat?

246
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
No.

247
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:19,000
I mean, I'm not into sniffing your armpits or anything, but I'm just saying that...

248
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,000
If you have somebody with...

249
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
But plant-based is a better term, isn't it?

250
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:31,000
But I've experienced zero people, zero vegans or true plant-based eaters that have bad body

251
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,000
odor or halitosis.

252
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Right.

253
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
Like, these are...

254
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,000
There were so...

255
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
Some people eat only meat, only dairy, fats and cheeses and stuff.

256
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
I did it once.

257
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I went on the...

258
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:45,000
It was like the Atkins start, and I did it for a couple of weeks.

259
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:46,000
And within my...

260
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Well, I think on my body, it was maybe three to four days.

261
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,000
I was quite disciplined about it, and I went into ketosis.

262
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,000
And I had this most metallic taste in my mouth.

263
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,000
It was literally like I put silver rings and just put...

264
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
It was awful.

265
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
I just couldn't stand that.

266
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:01,000
And, you know, you bring up...

267
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,000
I was chewing gum all the time.

268
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,000
You bring up another good point.

269
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I mean, it's effective.

270
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
If it did work, I did drop the weight.

271
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Everyone equates ketosis to eating dead animals.

272
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Well, excuse me, but you can get into ketosis different ways.

273
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Like, you can do an extended fast or even a short fast.

274
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,000
What's the longest you've fasted for?

275
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Oh, I don't really fast.

276
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,000
I've done water fasts.

277
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,000
How long for?

278
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Well, when I went through commando school,

279
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
it was like living in a fast

280
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
because you just literally ate off the floor of the forest.

281
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,000
Right, so it's just berries, leaves.

282
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
There was probably a week, you know.

283
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,000
Wow.

284
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
So how did you feel after that week?

285
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Incredible.

286
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Yeah.

287
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Charlie, my son, he went on a fast for 72 hours.

288
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
He's got a lot of discipline.

289
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
72 hours is a good fast.

290
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Yeah.

291
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Do that a few times a year.

292
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
And he said there was a horrible lull.

293
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
He said, but as he was approaching 72 hours,

294
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
he just felt completely invigorated and revitalized.

295
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:58,000
The thing is, and for those of you who have never fasted,

296
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
the shortest fast you can do, and I do this all the time,

297
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,000
perhaps once a week, maybe a couple times a week,

298
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,000
is what's called an 18-hour fast.

299
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
And that just means that I eat all of my plants.

300
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
I'll have a salad, beans, beets, root vegetables,

301
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000
all my stuff from like noon to 6 p.m.

302
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Say it's Monday, noon to 6 p.m.

303
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
And then after 6 p.m., I won't eat until noon the next day.

304
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Yeah, I do that all the time.

305
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Well, that's really good for you.

306
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,000
So it's the 18-hour fast.

307
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:28,000
It's me 10.

308
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,000
That's overnight.

309
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,000
Yeah, it's just you go from whatever works for you.

310
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,000
I sleep a lot better if I haven't eaten after 6 p.m.

311
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Oh, so many people have sleep problems because...

312
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Yeah, because they're eating something at 9 o'clock.

313
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,000
Eating something at 9.30 in the...

314
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,000
Yeah, the other night I did...

315
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
Tony went shopping and I went shopping.

316
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
We ended up buying buy one, get one free Hagen Dass ice cream

317
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
because we had about 15 people over for Christmas.

318
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,000
We hadn't coordinated it,

319
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
so we ended up with pints of ice cream in our refrigerator.

320
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000
So I thought, oh, I'm going to have some ice cream.

321
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000
I ended up eating the whole pint.

322
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000
This is about five days ago.

323
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,000
It was a strawberry cheesecake ice cream.

324
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,000
It was a lovely moment in time.

325
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,000
It took me about 20 minutes because I nuked it,

326
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
so it was very, very soft ice cream.

327
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:09,000
And the worst night's sleep, it was absolute hell.

328
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
I fell asleep initially because I had all this sugar

329
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
and then I was awake most of the night

330
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000
and my dreams were messed up, the whole thing.

331
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,000
But that was a bit extreme, eating a pint of ice cream.

332
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,000
But I even find having a meal like cheese and crackers,

333
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000
something I just don't want to eat after 6 o'clock.

334
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,000
But I fall asleep at 9.

335
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,000
That's my bedtime at the moment.

336
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,000
I think I'd be hungry if I was...

337
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000
because every four hours I get hungry.

338
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,000
So by 10 o'clock I need to be asleep.

339
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
And then I'm never hungry when I wake up in the morning.

340
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
You and I are similar that way.

341
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
I don't like to go to bed hungry.

342
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
If I have to, I drink a bunch of water.

343
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,000
And that kind of just gets me to the point where I can fall asleep.

344
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
Aren't you having to get up in the night and pee though if you do that?

345
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
No.

346
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Not really.

347
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
No.

348
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,000
I mean, I can get up and pee in the night

349
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
and then come back to bed in a trance almost.

350
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,000
I'm not even kind of at the surface.

351
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Just tell yourself I'm not going to wake up.

352
00:18:58,000 --> 00:18:59,000
Yeah, I'm not going to wake up.

353
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,000
I'm just going to go there and do my thing and come back.

354
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,000
And go back to sleep, yeah.

355
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
Gosh, we talk about everything here, don't we?

356
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,000
So, but you know, you bring up a bunch of points.

357
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,000
One of them is you talked about crackers and cheese.

358
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,000
That's like one of the worst combinations of food you can eat.

359
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:14,000
Is it?

360
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Totally.

361
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Another one you brought up, like one of the people say,

362
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,000
oh, peanut butter and jelly.

363
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
If you really hate your children,

364
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
a PB&J sandwich is like the worst thing you feed them.

365
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,000
Gosh.

366
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Because the American state, right?

367
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,000
The food combinations are so bad, yeah.

368
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:35,000
And then for me, you can get into a state of ketosis just eating plants.

369
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Especially easy.

370
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,000
I call it an SOS.

371
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:40,000
You really want to...

372
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,000
You couldn't eat potatoes and corn though, could you?

373
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
You couldn't eat high starch stuff.

374
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Why not?

375
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:49,000
Because ketosis is having like under 30 grams of protein,

376
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
eliminating carbohydrates and having less than 30 grams a day.

377
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
This is where you and I are...

378
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
You know more than I do about it.

379
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
No, but this is the divergence.

380
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
When you, you see, you're the mothership.

381
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Like you've got this...

382
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,000
You've populated this avatar.

383
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,000
I look at you and I see a Sarah Tirri, right?

384
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Actually, I see your soul, but I see both.

385
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
But this avatar that you've got is very complex.

386
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,000
And it's not just a matter of, oh, I just ate a potato,

387
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
therefore I'm going to not be able to achieve ketosis.

388
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
That's not really what it works.

389
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:27,000
Isn't there a scientific mathematical formula behind the amount of carbs

390
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:31,000
you have to not consume in order for your body to now use its own fat to feed itself?

391
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:35,000
You would like to think that, but there's other ways to get to ketosis

392
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,000
that don't require eating dead animals or avoiding starches.

393
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Starches are very...

394
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,000
The moment you eat a potato, you eat a potato.

395
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
I love potatoes.

396
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
Not fried, just a potato.

397
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Maybe it's...

398
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Maybe you'd put it in the oven with some onions or something, right?

399
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Yeah, you could roast it.

400
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:57,000
I roasted potatoes last night.

401
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:03,000
The moment you put it in your mouth and you chew it up, you masticate it and salivate it,

402
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:08,000
those enzymes in your mouth, primarily ptyalin and amylase,

403
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
those start breaking down the complex carbs.

404
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Your body, if you properly chew your food,

405
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:17,000
and I'm not talking about food being meat and dairy

406
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:21,000
because that's a completely different metabolic...

407
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
There's a completely different digestive process

408
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
if you eat meat and dairy versus plants.

409
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Plants, yeah.

410
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,000
There's completely different mechanisms.

411
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,000
What happens is, if you're eating...

412
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Say you have your potatoes,

413
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:41,000
and a good way to lose weight would be to have what's called mono meals.

414
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,000
Go ahead and eat your potatoes, put some onion flavoring or whatever.

415
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,000
Could you put some plant-based butter on it?

416
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Well, again, I was going to just talk to you about that because there's...

417
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Most people aren't going to be impressed with a dry potato.

418
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Right, so you have to think of ways to...

419
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
Yes, to liven up a bit.

420
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
...eat different starches.

421
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
People say potatoes, but then there's other things.

422
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
There's cassava.

423
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:05,000
And yuca.

424
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Yuca is cassava.

425
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:07,000
Oh, OK.

426
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Different word for the same.

427
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Yeah.

428
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Yuca's very nice, but I still like butter on it.

429
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
Right, so you can think of different ways to get that butter sensation or butter flavor.

430
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
I don't know how you do that.

431
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
A little bit of olive oil mixed with some garlic might be quite nice.

432
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:25,000
Right, so when I'm talking about for next year, for me personally,

433
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,000
starting the first new moon of next year, because I go from new moon to new moon.

434
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
So I don't use a calendar like a...

435
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
No.

436
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,000
I don't use like a month of calendar.

437
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,000
I love the fact that you've got your own cycles.

438
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,000
Yeah, it's like I just go from new moon to...

439
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,000
Because new moon to me is a new beginning.

440
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:44,000
The new moon is to the month as the new year is to springtime.

441
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Right, it's a new cycle.

442
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,000
So if I start something, I almost always start on the new moon.

443
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Nice.

444
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:57,000
So what I'll be doing is for the first new moon is I'm going on a zero SOS diet.

445
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:58,000
SOS.

446
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,000
Which means?

447
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:03,000
I'm eliminating all S, which is refined sugars.

448
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:04,000
OK.

449
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
I eat very, very little refined sugars.

450
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,000
Yeah, I don't eat much sugar.

451
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
I eat virtually none.

452
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Apart from this pint of ice cream.

453
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
I haven't got a sweet tooth, really.

454
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,000
Except for the occasional pint of ice cream.

455
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Oh my God.

456
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000
That's because I had 15 of them in my freezer.

457
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,000
If I had a pint of ice cream today, I'd probably go into a coma.

458
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
My body would go, what the hell?

459
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,000
What did you do?

460
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,000
Yeah, you would.

461
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,000
I just fall asleep.

462
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,000
So there's S is refined sugars.

463
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,000
And what's the O?

464
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,000
Which, by the way, refined sugars also includes flowers.

465
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
Like the white flower.

466
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Oh, yes.

467
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Your body has an insulin response similar to that of refined sugar.

468
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:42,000
So if you were doing this...

469
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,000
So if you were eating a donut...

470
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,000
If you were doing this diet that I'm going to try and do,

471
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
you could have coconut, right?

472
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
Because that's in a...

473
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Eat the whole coconuts.

474
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Because we're going to get to the O.

475
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,000
There's SOS.

476
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Yeah.

477
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:55,000
What's the O?

478
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:56,000
The O is refined oils.

479
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,000
OK.

480
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:58,000
So you're going to get rid of those.

481
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Well, this is where people get really pissed off at me.

482
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Because I say there are no good oils.

483
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
So there's a lot of talk about having a teaspoon of olive oil.

484
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000
And this does wonders for you.

485
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,000
And you don't think that does.

486
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:11,000
Who talks that?

487
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,000
I don't know.

488
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,000
I mean, this is what I say.

489
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,000
I have no idea what reality is.

490
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Because you're going to say that this is absolutely a no-no.

491
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Yet there's this advert that keeps playing all the time over YouTube.

492
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,000
And I listen to lectures all the time about how great it is to have,

493
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,000
I think it's a tablespoon of really high class olive oil.

494
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
And it's good for this reason.

495
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
I don't know which is correct.

496
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,000
So my world is one of Whole Foods.

497
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000
Whole Foods is when the oil is still attached to the fiber.

498
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000
Right, yes.

499
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
So if you want olive oil, eat the olive.

500
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
If you want coconut oil, eat the coconut.

501
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
If you want the sunflower oil.

502
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
Walnuts, walnut oil, eat the walnuts.

503
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
So what you're saying about the husk,

504
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:56,000
if you want to have the walnuts, eat the walnut, you win.

505
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
You're automatically getting the oil.

506
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
So it's extracted oil in a bottle.

507
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Yes.

508
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Because what happens is when you look at the plasma,

509
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:07,000
let's just say that you and I have crackers and cheese.

510
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Cheese is 100% fat.

511
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
It's 100% fat, pretty much.

512
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
There's probably a little protein in there and stuff.

513
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
But it's basically you're eating pure fat.

514
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Same thing with ice cream.

515
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,000
You're eating oil and sugar.

516
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,000
Yes.

517
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Now watch what happens.

518
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
Your body has to deal with the oil,

519
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
and your body has to deal with sugar.

520
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
It's refined oil, it's refined sugar.

521
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,000
So now you have this perfect combination.

522
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,000
So you eat it, you create an emergency for your body,

523
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
because your body doesn't look at a pint of ice cream,

524
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
look at the index card and say,

525
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,000
oh, this is from the ice cream tree or the ice cream plant.

526
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,000
Yeah.

527
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:47,000
Your body, the moment you eat it, you say, WTF did you do to me?

528
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,000
Yeah, that's what happens.

529
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
That's what I felt all night long.

530
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
It took me the following day just to recover

531
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
from this 15, 20 minutes experience.

532
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
So a lot of people, they have this thing where,

533
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
oh, I can't have this sugar.

534
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Well, excuse me, but if I gave you, if I had my hands out here,

535
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000
for those of you not looking, I'm actually giving you two hands.

536
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
I'm giving you a choice.

537
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000
The red pill or blue pill, right?

538
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:13,000
So, but this hand has got a handful of M&Ms, bright colored,

539
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000
fancy, fancy, schmancy M&Ms, right?

540
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Minus the green ones, because I took those.

541
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Then there's a handful of medjool dates.

542
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,000
If I told you these had the identical amount of,

543
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,000
the identical glycemic index,

544
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,000
that means it has the same amount of sugar,

545
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
but your body doesn't think so.

546
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,000
Your body might say, okay, it's the same amount of sugar,

547
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:43,000
but the glycemic loading is profoundly different.

548
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:46,000
Glycemic loading is the thing they don't talk about.

549
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,000
If I eat the M&Ms, the moment I look at the medjool dates,

550
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
the moment I look at them with my eyes,

551
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:57,000
my body knows how much insulin my pancreas should be starting to churn up.

552
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:02,000
My body says, two dates, you need two squirts of insulin.

553
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,000
My pancreas looks at that because it's got an index from thousands of years

554
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
or however long we've been around.

555
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
It knows what I need.

556
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
I eat those and I get energy because I have just enough insulin.

557
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
But your body's going, but thank you, that was lovely.

558
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
Not what the fuck have you done to me.

559
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
Yeah, it was lovely. It was not processed.

560
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Have you ever put them in the freezer and had them from frozen

561
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,000
because they go like caramel.

562
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
They really like toffee.

563
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
If you like a good toffee, put a date in and it doesn't go rock hard

564
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
and it's just like eating a toffee.

565
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
I'll do that, thank you.

566
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000
There's your health tip.

567
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,000
Yeah, it's really good.

568
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:43,000
If I look at the medjool date and there's so much sugar in it,

569
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,000
it's a slow release formula because my body literally has to cleave off

570
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
the sugar one little molecule at a time because it's attached.

571
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Now, if I go over to my M&Ms and I go, and I just eat it all down,

572
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:03,000
my pancreas doesn't even know what's coming because it has no precondition,

573
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,000
no index, no frame of reference.

574
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
I eat this sugar.

575
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:14,000
Now I've got an emergency because my body, my blood sugar just spikes.

576
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Now your pancreas is like, jeez, what?

577
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,000
I wonder what it does to your focus because when I had this pint of ice cream,

578
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I literally fell asleep. I was just out of it.

579
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
But I don't know what would have happened had that been at 9 a.m.

580
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,000
My focus, my ability to recall facts.

581
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
I don't even know what would happen to the mind.

582
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Let me cover that. I'll cover that in a moment because this is...

583
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Let me cover that. I need to double back.

584
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:36,000
All right.

585
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Remind me about mental focus.

586
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,000
So what happens is physiologically, you've got this blood sugar now

587
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:46,000
from these M&Ms, this huge amount of surge of blood sugar.

588
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,000
Your body just went into a state of emergency.

589
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,000
You might not feel it, but you have an emergency because your pancreas is like,

590
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:57,000
wait, what just happened? And it starts pumping out insulin,

591
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
like all hands on deck, pump out insulin.

592
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
God, it sounds so brutal.

593
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000
Now, the odds of it picking the exact correct amount of insulin is pretty small.

594
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,000
And it's probably going to overshoot.

595
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:12,000
So what happens is you get the rush from the sugar,

596
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
but because you overshot the insulin, you crash.

597
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,000
So you go to sleep because you just crashed yourself.

598
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Now, you've got a bunch of insulin running around your system with no sugar.

599
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:29,000
The greatest way to gain weight, if you really want to gain weight next year,

600
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:33,000
is f around with your insulin because now you've got this insulin,

601
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
the body has to do something with that and it converts it to fat.

602
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:41,000
So don't play with your insulin.

603
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,000
So you're going to cut out any starch, any sugar, and you're going to start...

604
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Not starch. I'll eat potatoes.

605
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
Oh, you'll eat potatoes. OK.

606
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
Refined? No, but no flour.

607
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Refined sugars. Refined sugars.

608
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
But that's flour as well, so there'll be nothing, no bread, no cereal.

609
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,000
No bread, no cereal.

610
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,000
And I really don't eat much bread anyway. No.

611
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000
Like I might have a piece of toast here and again. Yeah.

612
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,000
Robin does great sourdough. She's got like all these different...

613
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
She names her sourdough starters. Oh, does she really? Oh, my God.

614
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
Yeah, that's a real treat.

615
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
There would be torture for... Not torture.

616
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000
So you'll have potatoes, will you have rice?

617
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000
Probably not. No.

618
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,000
So it's going to be a lot of vegetables.

619
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,000
I might have jasmine rice or something like that.

620
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,000
And beans? You're going to do beans? I'll have tons of beans, yeah.

621
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Yes, because I'm going to be doing a lot more beans next year.

622
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Beans, legumes, seeds. Anything that's in a shell or a pod.

623
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
You're going to have so much energy because I'll double back.

624
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:37,000
So we talked about S, no refined sugars, including refined flour,

625
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
because that's treated.

626
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000
And then there's O, which is oils.

627
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,000
You can have the oil, but keep it attached to the fiber. Yes.

628
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
People are drinking coconut oil.

629
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Don't do that. Don't do that.

630
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Because that oil, it's going to take between 6 and 18 hours

631
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
to clear out of your plasma.

632
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,000
Well, if you have a bunch of sugar

633
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:04,000
and your body takes this insulin and pumps it into your plasma

634
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
to get the sugar out of your blood,

635
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,000
the only thing stopping it is the oil slick.

636
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000
So if you have oil with the sugar, ice cream,

637
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
if you have oil with the sugar, you're introducing a bunch of sugar,

638
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000
you're forcing your pancreas into an emergency mode,

639
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
then you're introducing oil and the pancreas is doing what it's supposed to,

640
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
the insulin is doing what it's supposed to,

641
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:31,000
it's grabbing onto the sugar saying, come on baby, let's get out of here,

642
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
and then it hits the oil slick and can't leave the artery.

643
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Oh, that's a disaster. It is a disaster.

644
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,000
Illnesses, it shouldn't even be legal.

645
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
You're going to go down the aisle at Publix and you're going to be, gosh.

646
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
So, you know, there's people who love ice cream.

647
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000
I just say, look...

648
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:49,000
And your motive for wanting to do this is to have more energy?

649
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,000
No, I've got tons of energy.

650
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:56,000
My personal motive is that, you know, I'll be 62,

651
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:00,000
first day of spring, March 21st, I'll be 62.

652
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:03,000
I want to feel 21 again.

653
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
Right.

654
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:08,000
Now, currently I feel probably in my early 40s.

655
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,000
But I want my hip to be 100%.

656
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,000
So you're doing this to help your hip?

657
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:18,000
This is about, I want to get my body as optimized, perfectly performed.

658
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,000
My goal is to be a world-class athlete again.

659
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,000
Nice.

660
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
Because, you know, I used to box in college and stuff, so I was...

661
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Joey got his black belt last week in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

662
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,000
I'm so happy for him. It's such a good sport too.

663
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
Yeah, 10 years it took.

664
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
So I'm not going to box anymore? I'm kind of past that.

665
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
No, take that, darling. You've got a beautiful face.

666
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,000
Oh, God.

667
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,000
You don't get this nose by chance.

668
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000
You cannot do that. It's other means.

669
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:50,000
So the third S, there's SOS, the third S is actually salt.

670
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:56,000
Now, your bodies, our bodies need salt, but not sodium chloride.

671
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Right, yeah.

672
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,000
Sodium chloride, sodium and chloride are both toxic to your cells.

673
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,000
So you're going to get swollen up and inflamed because they're toxic.

674
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,000
And the reason your body inflames itself, it's trying to dilute the sodium chloride.

675
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
So you're surrendering water, moisture, from within the cells,

676
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:23,000
and it's going outside the cells because the body's trying to get rid of the sodium chloride.

677
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:27,000
So if you're going to have salt, get it from a natural source like celery.

678
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Okay, yeah.

679
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
Because celery's got salt. There's other vegetables and plants that have salts.

680
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Those are properly structured. They're attached to the fiber.

681
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000
They're delicious. You can use celery, celery salt.

682
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,000
Now, are you going to be okay on this diet of yours or this new way of eating?

683
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,000
And then I have celery and you'll just put some peanut butter on the end of it and have that.

684
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:46,000
No, I don't do peanut butter.

685
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:51,000
So you won't be doing mashed up nuts and you can do a whole peanuts.

686
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:52,000
I'll eat the nuts.

687
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Because you can eat them straight out of the shell because that would be on my list of things.

688
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
I'm going to buy lots of nuts. I have to take it out of the shell myself.

689
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
This is so beautiful. I'm so excited for you.

690
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,000
Yeah, it's going to be great.

691
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:08,000
But this is about going back because you can have anything as long as it's in a shell pod husk or it's wrapped up in the continuum.

692
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Like if you look at the most, the highest form of plant-based eating, it's called WFPB, whole food, plant-based.

693
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:19,000
And then there's raw.

694
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,000
And you've got everything to protect the actual food. That's what I loved about it.

695
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:27,000
So if you get a peanut, it's got this huge, great shell around it.

696
00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:30,000
And then it's just got these beautiful little pieces of nut in the middle of it.

697
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
It's a thing of beauty.

698
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:38,000
It's lovely. And it can't be as contaminated as if you were, say, eating a strawberry because there's no shell around that.

699
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:39,000
You're eating that.

700
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:45,000
But you'd be okay with a peach because a peach has all that fuzzy stuff because that fruit and flesh is contained within it.

701
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:50,000
So I think nuts are absolutely... anything that has its own casing.

702
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And if you were to just do that on anything, and you could, if you wanted to, you could have some shrimp and you could have an egg.

703
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,000
But you can't have anything else.

704
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,000
You've got to be... but I did... I started writing this.

705
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:02,000
I'll send you this list.

706
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:05,000
I'm just going to keep adding to it because I keep getting inspiration.

707
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:06,000
But I wonder what that would be like.

708
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,000
So just to get your food that way.

709
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,000
I can tell you what it would be like because you just...

710
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:19,000
when I do something besides eat plants, it's almost exclusively shrimp and eggs.

711
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,000
And that's...

712
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:21,000
They're the two things.

713
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,000
Those are the two things that I will do.

714
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,000
But they're not messing with you terribly though, are they?

715
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,000
Zero.

716
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,000
No, okay.

717
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000
First of all, it's so infrequent.

718
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,000
Yeah, it's just not even an issue.

719
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:34,000
For me, shrimp is if I go to your place and you have shrimp on the barbecue.

720
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:35,000
I'm going to have a few.

721
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:39,000
It's not like I go to buy 20 pounds at Costco or something like...

722
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,000
I don't order...

723
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:42,000
If you happen to come across them...

724
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:43,000
It's happenstance.

725
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:44,000
Yes, exactly.

726
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,000
And it's... I don't... I'm not defined.

727
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,000
And an egg... you'll have an egg like a hard boiled egg or something occasionally.

728
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:51,000
Well, this morning I had Ray and Kayleigh over.

729
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:53,000
Kayleigh and Ray came over.

730
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000
I made them omelets.

731
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Right.

732
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,000
I made them.

733
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:58,000
I made them.

734
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:59,000
There's broccoli and scallions.

735
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,000
It was delicious.

736
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Yeah.

737
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,000
They wanted cheese in them, so I put cheese.

738
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,000
I also made myself an omelet.

739
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Yes.

740
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,000
Because I'm with my guests in this.

741
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Sure.

742
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,000
To me, if I have an omelet once in a while...

743
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Yes, you're not one of these pain in the ass people who are making a huge deal.

744
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,000
You'll integrate if you need to.

745
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Look, it's me.

746
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,000
It's not me versus you.

747
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,000
It's me versus me.

748
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:19,000
I can't control...

749
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Like, we were on the airplane.

750
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,000
We went to Washington State, right, this... over the holiday.

751
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:25,000
We went to Washington State.

752
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,000
My youngest son is out there alone.

753
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:28,000
His roommates are gone.

754
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,000
We wanted to be with our youngest son.

755
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:37,000
We sit in the airplane and the person next to me is taking up half of my seat.

756
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:42,000
So this is not...

757
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:47,000
I don't want to impose my will upon them in terms of changing their diet.

758
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,000
But you're feeling that he's imposing his will on you because of his diet.

759
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:53,000
She's imposing her will upon me.

760
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:57,000
To me, it's like this is not about me comparing myself to others.

761
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,000
It's about me comparing myself to my future best self.

762
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:08,000
And so even though I'm already a plant-based eater and I very rarely eat like bread...

763
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:11,000
But supposing some of our listeners think it's absolutely intolerable,

764
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:17,000
but they could manage to do this if they had eggs and they had shrimp or they had lobster or crab.

765
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:19,000
Anything that...

766
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:24,000
And then everything... as long as it has some husk, shell or skin,

767
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:30,000
then that might be an absolutely wonderful way to eat because it's preserving itself.

768
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Now in a peanut, can they put chemicals that would infiltrate that peanut shell?

769
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,000
I've got to tell you, they can do anything right now.

770
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:39,000
They... oh, God, you see...

771
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
I like this idea that it's contained and pure.

772
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
Well, there's a whole industry of what we call... we call Frankenfoods

773
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
where they're genetically modified and they don't have to tell you about it.

774
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,000
So I can't...

775
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Charlene, our friend, she had a piece of avocado and she cut it and she left it on the counter.

776
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:59,000
And it still hadn't gone brown on day seven.

777
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:00,000
It's like, well, what the hell?

778
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,000
That should be going brown within three hours of that being left there.

779
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,000
Exactly right.

780
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,000
It's terrible.

781
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,000
And she... Ralph had bought them home from work.

782
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:10,000
So a lot of people will say, well...

783
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:13,000
I've had people tell me it's like, well, I'm not going to give up.

784
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,000
I'm eating dairy.

785
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,000
No, totally not.

786
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:19,000
So I say, well, if it meant you trimming out your body and becoming a teenage power...

787
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Feeling really healthy.

788
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:25,000
Would you be willing to just do it like maybe of an omelet Wednesday morning

789
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:29,000
and then you can have Friday or Saturday night having your meat?

790
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,000
Yeah.

791
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,000
Would you do your seafood Friday or Saturday night

792
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:36,000
and then just work towards whole food plant-based eating during the most of the time?

793
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Most of the time.

794
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Most of the time.

795
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:39,000
That's what I do.

796
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,000
And that's... because that's what I was trying to express to you.

797
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:47,000
Like if I have a shrimp or a piece of fish or something, it's very, very rare.

798
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,000
Not rare like cooked, but I mean, not a case.

799
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:51,000
It's not frequent.

800
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
It's very not frequent.

801
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,000
So my thing is, well...

802
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
I don't want to impose my will upon others.

803
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,000
I want to be the example.

804
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:04,000
So when they look at a 62-year-old that's freaking buffed,

805
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
you can see cuts in the arms and legs and just clear eyes, clear skin.

806
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,000
Yes, clear skin.

807
00:39:09,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Focused.

808
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,000
I want the people to look and say, hey, what do you do?

809
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:17,000
So I don't have to tell you, oh, you're that...

810
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:20,000
But again, so we're talking about self-discipline.

811
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,000
This is about discipline.

812
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,000
Yeah, this is the whole thing that that's what most...

813
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:27,000
Because most people at New Year, they want to have more discipline than they have now.

814
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:31,000
On your list, your first thing is to eat differently at the New Moon.

815
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,000
And that is going to require...

816
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:37,000
Now, for you, is that going to require discipline where you're having to say,

817
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:42,000
OK, I'm now... I'm not going to eat this or is this going to be easy for you?

818
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,000
To me, it's easy.

819
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,000
You're not even going to think about it.

820
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:47,000
You're going to chop some vegetables.

821
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,000
When you're in a place of gratitude for everything...

822
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,000
So this is what I wanted to get to.

823
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:52,000
Yeah, when you're in a place...

824
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,000
Let me do one more thing.

825
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,000
SOS, the third S is salt.

826
00:39:56,000 --> 00:40:01,000
Sodium chloride is toxic to your cells, but your body needs salts.

827
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,000
You need salts.

828
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
Those salts, the best ones I found are from the sea.

829
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
So I use what's called Celtic sea salt.

830
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:12,000
And there's other varieties.

831
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,000
There's a French sea salt.

832
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Yeah, I've had Himalayan sea salt.

833
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,000
Himalaya is a little bit different.

834
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:23,000
But you should be better be getting it from celery or something natural, though, wouldn't you?

835
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,000
Yeah, but also the sea vegetables are good, too.

836
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:27,000
So if you're...

837
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Like seaweed.

838
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Like if you eat the seaweed, that's really...

839
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
It's got a lot of good salts to it.

840
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
And it's got the different minerals that are properly configured,

841
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:39,000
properly ionized, and readily bioavailable.

842
00:40:39,000 --> 00:40:41,000
So these are...

843
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:45,000
Just because you don't take sodium chloride, which is toxic,

844
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,000
doesn't mean you can't enjoy a salty taste.

845
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
You can have Celtic sea salt.

846
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:52,000
Only one flake.

847
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:58,000
If you ever had Celtic sea salt, just one little flake will season your whole chili bowl or whatever you're doing.

848
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:05,000
It's very... But what it does is it's going to give you a more balanced mineral base.

849
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
You know, during the World War I, the emergency medics in the army field,

850
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
they ran out of blood for transfusions.

851
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,000
They would actually use the plasma.

852
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:19,000
It was called sea plasma.

853
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:24,000
Because the ocean's plasma came so close to replicating our plasma

854
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:29,000
and it's in our blood in terms of the minerals, the biochemical...

855
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:32,000
What am I saying? The ratios of the minerals.

856
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,000
That they could actually water it, dilute it down, so it's had similar molarity to plasma.

857
00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,000
And they could get those...

858
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
They could give emergency...

859
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Quick fix.

860
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,000
War time...

861
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
God.

862
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,000
Military transfusions to get them back to the city where they could have a real transfusion.

863
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:52,000
Right. Okay. Get them through the pinch.

864
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Just balance... getting your plasma to be balanced much in the same way as it would have been

865
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000
with the sea plasma is not something foreign.

866
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:05,000
It's something very natural that we want to move towards that direction.

867
00:42:05,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Getting all those minerals in your plasma balanced out to make you powerful.

868
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:13,000
Because if you're deficient... I had a girlfriend right here locally.

869
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:17,000
She was trying to get pregnant for like nine years, 10 years.

870
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:23,000
I put her on four products that balanced all of her minerals.

871
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:25,000
She was on it for one month.

872
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,000
The next month she got pregnant.

873
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:28,000
That's so fantastic.

874
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:29,000
The next month.

875
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
She must have thought that you were Jesus or something.

876
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,000
Well no, she doesn't.

877
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Well that must have been like a miracle to her.

878
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
If you've been trying for nine years, someone gives you this, you do it.

879
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:40,000
I mean that must have been just blown away.

880
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,000
People have to make the connection though.

881
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:48,000
It's like they think that it's something else. No, it's your beautiful self.

882
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:53,000
And you changed the way you absorbed something and that's all it was.

883
00:42:53,000 --> 00:43:00,000
If you don't have molybdenum or selenium, you're not going to really have an easy time getting pregnant.

884
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Or if your spouse, if your guy wants to be more powerful.

885
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:10,000
There's certain things like if they're deficient in zinc, bioavailable zinc that's probably...

886
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
Have you thought about actually putting this into book form?

887
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Because I can help you with that.

888
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,000
We should do a list of food that we discussed at the beginning.

889
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,000
And then you talk in a book.

890
00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:23,000
Because people would need to reference that because all this is in your head.

891
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,000
And I'm going to forget a lot of this.

892
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:31,000
But it might be really good because you could literally, if you're right, you could change your entire life.

893
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:34,000
And you could improve everything.

894
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,000
Your sense of humor, your focus, your ability to recall facts.

895
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:43,000
It could do something with your levels of inspiration.

896
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,000
I mean, it just could be completely life transforming.

897
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,000
I love what you're saying.

898
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:51,000
So when I talk, I have a lot of friends who are so-called energy workers.

899
00:43:51,000 --> 00:44:00,000
And when I talk to them about energy, so much of our relationship with energy is related to what you just said.

900
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:05,000
If our avatar is a transceiver, that means we can send and receive information.

901
00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Not only cognitively, like in our brain.

902
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:11,000
Like I'm communicating with you, plus our audience right now.

903
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:12,000
It's really to our audience.

904
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:15,000
It's not a communication because there's no feedback.

905
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
But with you, there's feedback.

906
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,000
So that makes it a communication.

907
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:22,000
Our communication is at a cerebral level here.

908
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:28,000
You're also probably picking up my heart because I'm loving you as I talk to you and I'm receiving your love.

909
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,000
So there's this huge amount of communication.

910
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,000
But there's so much more that we don't even see.

911
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:38,000
So we could become super beings just by default of just changing your diet.

912
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:44,000
You might actually, your perceptions might change on tangible but very refined levels.

913
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Exactly. We already are super beings.

914
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,000
What's happened is we've been polluted.

915
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,000
We've had things introduced to us.

916
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,000
There was a Don Henley line.

917
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,000
We've been poisoned by these fairy tales.

918
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:59,000
And the fairy tale is the supermarket when you go in there, isn't it?

919
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:10,000
I mean, you are going into a, even though it's beautiful, you've got lovely piped music and you've got flowers and you've got this lovely bakery over here and you've got lovely smells.

920
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,000
It's just a poison factory.

921
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,000
By and large, yeah.

922
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:20,000
I mean, around the edges it's a bit better, but everything in the middle is like a load of manufactured processed food.

923
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:27,000
So if you, I don't know if you look just past our water pump outs by the driveway, but we've got these bins.

924
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
And I've got these trellises built.

925
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:34,000
They're like 14 foot trellises with ropes.

926
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:36,000
And those are tomato vines.

927
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:41,000
So we've got probably, I probably have 30 tomato plants started right now.

928
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Wow.

929
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,000
And they're, I'm growing them up, these vines.

930
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,000
We'll go when we're done. I'll walk you out there.

931
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,000
We're going to have so many tomatoes.

932
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,000
But when I feed somebody a tomato that's from really good soil and they eat,

933
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:00,000
you should see their face when they have a tomato right off the vine for the first time in their life.

934
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,000
They're like, wait, what is this? It's tomato.

935
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:09,000
No, no, no. I've had tomatoes for 30 years. This is not like anything I've ever had.

936
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
This is what it's supposed to taste like when it's grown in good soil.

937
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000
Right. Same thing with cucumbers.

938
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Like I would literally, we have asparagus here on Phillips Island.

939
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,000
It's purple.

940
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,000
I walk people out there and you should see their face.

941
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:29,000
I will break a piece of asparagus off. It's like six or eight inches, just baby.

942
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:32,000
So it's not really firm yet. Right. It's just baby.

943
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:36,000
I'll break it off, hand it to them and say, try this.

944
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Oh, no, no, I got to cook it. I'm like, try it.

945
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:42,000
They'll eat the asparagus and their eyes will get as big as saucers.

946
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:46,000
They'll go like, this doesn't even need to be cooked.

947
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:52,000
Not through what's in the food, from their surprise reaction to the flavor of this food.

948
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,000
The flavor is unbelievable because, but you don't have to cook it.

949
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,000
But how does the average person is just going to not be able to do this though?

950
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:02,000
We were talking about having discipline, even if you had the discipline,

951
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:08,000
the accessibility of quality foods, you're really going to have to put some effort into it.

952
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Well, there's that or you can find, you see, my thing is this,

953
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:14,000
each one of us has got something we're good at.

954
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,000
Like I grow my own foods, but that's I'm not really good at that.

955
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:22,000
I can talk to you about nutrition.

956
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,000
And I'm good at it, but I'm not great.

957
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:29,000
There's other people, there's other people who are better than me at those things.

958
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,000
What the magic is, is building your tribe, finding your people.

959
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:39,000
If you've got somebody who is good at those things, like I got a girlfriend, Stephanie.

960
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,000
She grows in containers and that's her business here in central Florida.

961
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:47,000
She sets people up with containerized gardening.

962
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
She has such an abundance coming from these containers.

963
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
She has to give it away. She has so much food.

964
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000
She could probably feed 15 families.

965
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:00,000
So if you have one person that can feed 15 families.

966
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,000
But then someone could take the apples that she's grown and then bake her a pie.

967
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Right. So there would be a reciprocity going on here.

968
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:13,000
Because if this is sustainable, everyone's got to chip in what they're good at.

969
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:15,000
Right. That's my point. Yeah.

970
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:19,000
So she's a complete transformation of how we live our life.

971
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:24,000
You want to build your tribe because we've been very centralized on everything.

972
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:33,000
And this is if I could identify 2025, the word for 2025 is going to be decentralization.

973
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Right. OK, cool. It's going to be the localization of power, money,

974
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:42,000
infrastructure. Great. So instead of having everything come through these mega corporations

975
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:48,000
where six companies own all the media, six companies own all the food,

976
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:55,000
six companies own all the money, like all of us, each one of us is going to have a chance to be our own bank.

977
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Each one of us will have our own. That's very exciting. It's super exciting.

978
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:04,000
And it's inbound. It's in. It's great. I love that. So.

979
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:09,000
So it's getting back to tribe. So supposing I was really good at knitting. Correct.

980
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:13,000
You could supply me with food and I could supply you with baby clothes for the winter.

981
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:18,000
So that's how this is. And if you're good at something, you're probably going to enjoy it.

982
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,000
Because I love to write and I'm good at it. So they go hand in hand.

983
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:25,000
My friend, Charlotte, she loves to crochet and she's really good at it.

984
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:29,000
She can crochet whatever. So find out what you're good at.

985
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:33,000
And then you've got to blend that with someone else that's good at something.

986
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,000
And then if you're all good at something and contribute what it is that you're good at,

987
00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:40,000
what you enjoy doing, this should all balance into a beautiful exchange.

988
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:43,000
I would love to find like you talked about your clothing line.

989
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:53,000
We haven't talked about it lately, but to me, I would love to find somebody who's into who can take natural fibers, plant fibers.

990
00:49:53,000 --> 00:50:00,000
We could do hemp fibers, bamboo fibers, cotton, silk, all these natural fibers that nobody else uses anymore

991
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,000
because they use the cheap plastic synthetic stuff, which I'm not complaining about some synthetic stuff.

992
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,000
There's some things like gym pants. I mean, there's sure.

993
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,000
They don't fall off. Yeah, exactly.

994
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
I'm not going to run in my moccasins. I have tennis shoes.

995
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:20,000
Right. So but there are certain things that like to the degree we can get back to these natural fibers.

996
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:26,000
I think we should do it. I think there's something about wearing cotton or silk or linen.

997
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I would love like if I had somebody locally here in central Florida that could do all those natural fibers

998
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:40,000
and actually sell clothing for me and I could pay them with food or I could pay them with syndicating their podcast.

999
00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Yeah, just something. Something that plays into my things that thrill me.

1000
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:47,000
I could teach them about crypto currencies.

1001
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,000
Do you think a lot of people are interested in this new way of living?

1002
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Are they bored by their materialistic me, me, me kind of life?

1003
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Gosh, that's a good question. I know a lot of people and I sense a change towards this direction.

1004
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,000
There's going to be a lot of people resist. They're going to say, but I need my like, OK, here's a quick story.

1005
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:14,000
I got this probably three months ago. This guy came to me.

1006
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:18,000
He's like, hey, I need to lose. You know, I've got these medical reports.

1007
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
They're saying I'm pre-diabetic, blah, blah, blah.

1008
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:26,000
Hey, do you do you enjoy being pre-diabetic? No, I don't. That's what I'm talking to you.

1009
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:30,000
It's like, what are you willing to change? So I interviewed him.

1010
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,000
He goes to Disney, Disney Springs with him and his three boys every Friday and Saturday.

1011
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:41,000
They eat beer and pizza and all this stuff. And I'm very honest with him.

1012
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:46,000
It's like, what do you want more? Do you want a healthy, trim, powered, fired up body?

1013
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Or instant gratification, hedonistic immediate pleasure?

1014
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:53,000
Or do you want to? And I say, if you don't do it for yourself, do it for your children,

1015
00:51:53,000 --> 00:52:01,000
because you're teaching your children a pattern of going and eating pizza and beer every weekend for the rest of their lives,

1016
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:06,000
because that's what you're doing. It's up to you to break the cycle.

1017
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:12,000
How badly do you want it? So he told me, he says, well, I'm not going to not do it. I'm doing this.

1018
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,000
It's something we do. It's our thing. And don't expect much.

1019
00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:20,000
And I told him, I said, well, this is what's going to happen. Let me, by the way, let me fast forward

1020
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,000
what it looks like when you become full diabetic and you're about ready to lose your legs.

1021
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,000
God, did you say that to him? Yeah. Well, I'm brutal. Yeah, that is brutal.

1022
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
Because that's part of loving them. Yeah, right. OK. Yeah.

1023
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,000
It's like, do you know what? What was his reaction to this?

1024
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:37,000
Let's fast forward to today. This is just a few months ago.

1025
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:43,000
Today, he's cut way back on his beer, way back on his pizza. He's trimmed out.

1026
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:48,000
He's not even doing half of what I suggested, but just a little movement in my direction.

1027
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:52,000
He's already looking better. He's dropping weight. And he's realizing this.

1028
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:58,000
He himself is realizing this. Hey, I didn't do everything that Tia Jolie recommended, but I walked in that direction.

1029
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,000
He can see that himself because that will be enough to motivate him fully now. Well, so much so.

1030
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,000
He'll just keep going now. So much so. Yeah.

1031
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:10,000
He's definitely on course now. Yeah. When you tell somebody the truth and they ignore it, the truth.

1032
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000
He'll see the results himself. Well, the truth is a bitch because once you plant the seed of truth in somebody, they know it.

1033
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Yeah. So they're sitting there drinking a beer. It's not as enjoyable. No, it's not because you're just lying to yourself.

1034
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:23,000
And you're lying to yourself. You're eating this pizza. Yeah. And it would just basically.

1035
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:29,000
Yeah. And you know that you shouldn't. And it's like, and your joints are hurting, your breath stinks.

1036
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:33,000
You're not sleeping well. Things are not working in the bedroom anymore. Yeah.

1037
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:39,000
It's like you're doing this to yourself. Yeah. So if you love your pizza and beer more than you love your performance in the bedroom,

1038
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:42,000
keep doing it. Carry on doing it. Yeah. You're the prince. But I think you're right.

1039
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:47,000
I just don't think it's enjoyable at that point anymore, isn't it? Because you have to lie to yourself to sustain that. Yeah.

1040
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,000
And that's going to take a lot of mental effort. And that's when you're sitting next to the person on the plane.

1041
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:56,000
That's all they're doing is they're lying to themselves over and over and over and over until they die.

1042
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Yeah. And then maybe they come back and do it again. And then they'll just come back and redo it.

1043
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,000
It could be hundreds of lifetimes. They'll come back as a holistic natural health doctor.

1044
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:10,000
So we talked about SOS. We talked about New Year stuff. I didn't expect we talk about health and wellness.

1045
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:14,000
Well, it was really just discipline. That's how it started because that's the whole New Year's resolution.

1046
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Most people are going to want to introduce a new behavior that they know that they should be waking up every morning and doing.

1047
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:26,000
But we postpone it. The first of January is going to be this big moment where we turn our lives around.

1048
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:32,000
And I would say you need to do that every morning. And it's like an I am. I am strong. I am powerful.

1049
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:42,000
I have as much discipline as I need already right now. But I think we tend to put it off for a future moment so we can be hedonistic on the run up to that.

1050
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:47,000
That's good observation. That's why we've got this whole New Year's thing. But I think it should be a daily.

1051
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:53,000
I mean, the New Year's resolution should be a morning affirmation. That's a really good observation.

1052
00:54:53,000 --> 00:55:02,000
And I agree with you because once you bring that's why I ask my people it's like I had a 50 this guy was five decades insulin.

1053
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:12,000
He was a I guess a Korean War veteran, Army veteran. I told you the story in a previous episode, but basically 50 years he was taking insulin.

1054
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:21,000
I asked him straight up, are you emotionally attached to being a diabetic? You've put your you've put the label on yourself that you're diabetic.

1055
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:27,000
Is that a label you're willing to lose? Or are you emotionally attached to that? Do you want to be a diabetic?

1056
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:33,000
And then I paused and he's like, what are you crazy? Yeah. And his wife was there because I usually do one on one.

1057
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:37,000
But his wife, they're in from Alabama to see me. So I'm like, OK, I'm going to talk to both.

1058
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:43,000
So I looked at his wife. I said, are you willing to help him do what I'm going to suggest? Her eyes are this big.

1059
00:55:43,000 --> 00:55:56,000
She's like, of course I will. So five decades of insulin, five weeks later, he's no longer diabetic and he's off of all three of his blood meds.

1060
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:01,000
She did the same thing because she was helping him. And she accidentally lost 35 pounds.

1061
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:10,000
You know, in this book, I want you to think she actually these anecdotes should go in this book because he's a subjective reality, which is recent in your experience.

1062
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:13,000
These are very, very good stories for people to heal, to hear.

1063
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:18,000
My message is not about 50 years and you've got five weeks and you could.

1064
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:23,000
So that's pretty fucking instant. Right. Five weeks is pretty. Five weeks is pretty instant.

1065
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,000
Really, really relative to relative to how long it's been going on.

1066
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:38,000
So I think write these down and then here's the people need that type of inspiration because you can turn your life around quite quickly through just making these adjustments that you recommend.

1067
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,000
Everybody's going to take things differently.

1068
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:47,000
So this is a military guy who did absolutely everything I suggested.

1069
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:53,000
His wife accidentally lost 35 pounds doing just helping him. Yeah.

1070
00:56:53,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Not everybody's going to do that. But the other guy that you were talking about, he didn't do everything that you'd recommended, but he was more on the road to than he had been before.

1071
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:08,000
So he started seeing incremental improvements. So it doesn't really matter as long as you're getting on the right road.

1072
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:15,000
And the more that you see improvements, the more likely it is that you're going to stay on that road and keep improving.

1073
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:20,000
But these I like these stories because they're real and it's quite a quick transformation.

1074
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:25,000
Most people are in the middle. They're going to they're willing to change some things, but not other things.

1075
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:30,000
So, interestingly, just January 1st, I do have a new modality.

1076
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:35,000
I have my hands on a lot of these people are reaching for these. They call it the skinny shot.

1077
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000
I can't use the name because I'll get censored and somebody shoot me in my front. Oh, I know what you mean.

1078
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Yeah, they call it the skinny shot. Right.

1079
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:51,000
There's actually people dying from that. So I have a new actually we've been trying it for about four months now.

1080
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:57,000
I was part of a group who was able to get a hold of this prior to the rest of the world.

1081
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:01,000
I've given it to about eight people.

1082
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:08,000
Every one of them has loved it, loved the flavor, loved the taste, loved the experience, loved the energy, loved the focus.

1083
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:13,000
And it's not a skinny shot. And so I'm excited to roll it out next year.

1084
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:17,000
So you're going to you're going to patent this and you're going to package it and then it's already patented.

1085
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,000
OK, it's already patented. So it's an ingredient of some kind, a natural product.

1086
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Yeah, it's all natural. OK. And it's not mine.

1087
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,000
No, but I have what you're going to be recommending it. And then have you done it yourself?

1088
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,000
I have. Well, I haven't done it. I've tried it. Tried it. Loved it. Right.

1089
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:39,000
In fact, I gave some to our guests this morning to try. But I'll be rolling that out.

1090
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:44,000
I don't have the website built up yet, but as soon as I do, it'll be hashtag.

1091
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:50,000
And work on getting a book done with this as well, because this whole thing about so we've got the discipline.

1092
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,000
So, I mean, you've got to be able to have discipline.

1093
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:56,000
I mean, if you don't have discipline and that's what people realize.

1094
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:59,000
If you say to someone, I hate this guy says, I don't want to be.

1095
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:02,000
I want to carry on drinking beer and eating pizza.

1096
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
It is you're going to have to say no. And it's just a mental thing, isn't it?

1097
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,000
No, I'm not. So how much discipline is it really?

1098
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,000
It's all in your mind. I'm committed to this and it's done.

1099
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000
So discipline should actually be less than a second.

1100
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:19,000
So discipline is such a funny word because it's got some positive.

1101
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:25,000
It's positively charged for some people like you're an athlete or your military disciplines, a good thing.

1102
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:32,000
But for somebody who's kind of in their pizza beer thing, groove disciplines and an evil nasty word.

1103
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
This guy happened to be a former pro semi pro athlete.

1104
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:38,000
So he's a foot in both worlds.

1105
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:44,000
What I would say is if you're stubborn, you're actually disciplined.

1106
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,000
Yeah, but it's in a negative direction. Yes. Right.

1107
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,000
So you were born this morning. Like you woke up this morning with everything you need to succeed.

1108
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
You're beautiful. You're powerful. You're worthy. You're resourceful.

1109
00:59:56,000 --> 01:00:01,000
You have everything you need, but you're also the boss.

1110
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:04,000
And this is why I tell people I've got good news and bad news.

1111
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,000
The good news is you're in charge of your future.

1112
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:12,000
The bad news is you're in charge of your future. I'm happy about that.

1113
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:16,000
You're in charge of your future. So you can take it for what it's worth.

1114
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:19,000
But I would say that I like your discipline thing.

1115
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,000
It's not a negative word for those of you who are out there saying.

1116
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:29,000
Well, it's also just a moment. It's just a switch of focus because you just have to say, no, I am not eating this pizza on a Friday night.

1117
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:31,000
I'm going to chop up some beetroot and mash some potatoes.

1118
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:34,000
I'm going to have that and I'm going to stop eating.

1119
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:38,000
This is all very, very quick. So the discipline actually starts.

1120
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:46,000
You have to train your mind. You can't you can't fall into thought forms that force you to carry on, you know, continuing these bad behaviors.

1121
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,000
But it is actually quite a quick decision. I love your thought.

1122
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:56,000
Just know I love your thought form reference because so many people think that, oh, if I have to be disciplined, I'm going to suffer.

1123
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:01,000
Well, excuse me. But if I have M&Ms and I have module dates.

1124
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:10,000
I when you look at the flavors and the depth of flavor to just savoring the module date, you will never eat an M&M again.

1125
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:19,000
Just because you don't have to suffer when people when I was down in Jupiter, Florida, I had my own band and I had like Monday nights was our rehearsal.

1126
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:27,000
And Robin would prepare these little spreads for the band before rehearsal because a lot of them came right from work for rehearsal.

1127
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:31,000
And for six months they ate and they'd enjoy food and they'd eat this.

1128
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:40,000
Everybody loved her foods. Well, it was like six months into this thing where they were eating our foods prior to rehearsal.

1129
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:45,000
And one of my two guitar players said, this chili is amazing. Can I have the recipe?

1130
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,000
And he looked at the recipe and Robin showed him there was no meat in it.

1131
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:53,000
No, it actually had like a chick pea ground up. Well, no, it had.

1132
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:58,000
In this case, she had I think it was walnuts, like pulverized walnuts.

1133
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:02,000
Yes, lovely. It's all oily. Yeah, that's the base I use for the shepherd's pie.

1134
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:06,000
Oh, it's great. So these people like you don't have to suffer.

1135
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:11,000
You can still have crushed walnuts and mushrooms and still enjoy chili.

1136
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Yeah. So you just have to change how you do it. It's not like you're suffering.

1137
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:24,000
Yeah. So they looked at us like, wait a minute, you're plant based eaters. We've been dining in this place every Monday for six months.

1138
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:29,000
Yeah. And there's not any meat or dairy and anything you've eaten here ever.

1139
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:35,000
And they're like, what can that be? Yeah. So it's pretty much just making up your mind.

1140
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:41,000
So discipline to me is just it's not a negative. It's a second. It's a second switch of perceptions.

1141
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,000
It's a realization. Yes, a realization. OK, I'm not going to eat this and then it's done.

1142
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:50,000
It should be. But we agonize over it. Oh, I'll do this on the first of January.

1143
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:54,000
The reason I'm going to do it on the first of January is because I cannot have the discipline to do it now.

1144
01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:57,000
So you're postponing that. But I think it's just a switch.

1145
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:01,000
So I like what you said. We won't go too much further. It's up to you. It's your podcast.

1146
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:07,000
No, I'm fine. Happy New Year. Enjoy eating everything out of a skin husk pod or shell.

1147
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:13,000
I want to ask you a couple of things before we wrap up, though. I personally do affirmations for myself.

1148
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:16,000
I'm doing my twenty twenty five affirmations for myself.

1149
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:20,000
So every year I tweak mine, but mine fall into four categories.

1150
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:25,000
One is health, my personal health. One is prosperity. Nice.

1151
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:33,000
The third is relationships. So I actually have a goal for my relationships, including my relationship with myself.

1152
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:44,000
And then the fourth is spirituality. Yeah. So within that context, I want to see if do you have any goals for yourself that you want to share or for next year for yourself?

1153
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:52,000
You mentioned health, prosperity or I still I think and this would be not a goal for next year.

1154
01:03:52,000 --> 01:04:02,000
It's a goal every time, every moment, every morning in the first, I would say, ten seconds is I want to be able to control what I think about.

1155
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:18,000
I don't want to get lost in thought forms that are redundant, that could be petty, that could be recycling something from that's happened before to control what I think about would be what I'm looking for and to do with more clarity in twenty twenty five.

1156
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:20,000
And I'm already working on that. It's beautiful. Yeah.

1157
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:28,000
Like Jedi level of thinking where there's nothing I'm thinking about is either what I choose to think about or I'm in awareness and no thought.

1158
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:33,000
So how does that how does that relate to your spiritual growth?

1159
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:41,000
Because if you have control over what you think about and you have a very big vision for your life, that's all you're automatically going to go there in the matrix.

1160
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,000
So for the listeners that don't know, I believe that we're living in a matrix.

1161
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:50,000
It's a quantum field and you have to have a large vision for what you want your life to look like.

1162
01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:58,000
And you have to believe that reality is capable of delivering that and then the thought forms that you abide in have to align with that.

1163
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,000
So you can't be saying I'm a piece of shit. I can't do this. Fuck this.

1164
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:07,000
You can't be grumbling about the world. You've got to refine what you're thinking about.

1165
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
And then anything that you want your life to look like you can actually attain.

1166
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:13,000
You can just surf your way into that.

1167
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:16,000
But it starts with having clarity of thought. I think it's beautiful.

1168
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:22,000
And a profound vision as well. And so for those of you who don't know, Sarah's got multiple websites.

1169
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:28,000
You can go to Earth, Earthangelproject.com and hear about this podcast and others.

1170
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:33,000
Or you can go to souldecodes.com and there's a link there.

1171
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000
You can actually have a bookstore I built for you. Nice, that's beautiful.

1172
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,000
They can go and look at all your books, even your children's books are there.

1173
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,000
So you can go to the Mirror World would be a great book. It's only eight thousand words.

1174
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,000
It'll take you 40 minutes to read it. And it's this idea that we're living in a video game.

1175
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,000
I use that as the metaphor.

1176
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:57,000
And you'll be different at the end of it because you'll realize that your thoughts are way more powerful than you used to believe them to be.

1177
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:05,000
And don't fall into sloppy thinking because you're just in a default setting of sloppy thinking.

1178
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:09,000
And then you won't get what you came for. To get what you came for, you've got to have clarity.

1179
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:15,000
That's lovely. That's so lovely. And so I've read the Mirror World. You gifted it to me.

1180
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,000
And then I think we've got an episode where I read it. I think it's coming up.

1181
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:21,000
It's pre-recorded. It's not published yet.

1182
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,000
So that'll be published at some point in the next few weeks. So they can always listen to that.

1183
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,000
And I'm just reading that aloud and I think you're commenting on that here and there.

1184
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,000
I love it. That's awesome. So a few things just as we wrap up.

1185
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
First of all, again, I love you all and I'm so glad you're listening to Soul Decodes.

1186
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
We're just getting started. So thank you in advance for sharing with other countries.

1189

Any questions? Soul Decodes, send us some questions.

1190
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,000
Soul Decodes is part of a syndication from Earth Angel Project.

1191
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:07,000
I'm going to share with you a couple of big things for next year that I think will benefit not only us, but the world around us.

1192
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:14,000
First of all, for those of you listening today, if you've got somebody who has a podcast that's worthy of syndication,

1193
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:19,000
please drop them a note or send me a note on their behalf or put them in touch with me.

1194
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:23,000
You can go to TiaJolie.com or go through Soul Decodes.

1195
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:30,000
One of my goals for Earth Angel Project is for the media aspect of Earth Angel Media.

1196
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:35,000
I want to syndicate 12 new podcasts. Fabulous.

1197
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:40,000
In addition to Soul Decodes and Studio 17, I've got two more coming on. I want to do 12 more.

1198
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,000
So it's going to be a big broadcaster. So it's going to be a broadcast company.

1199
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:47,000
So if you've got somebody who's got something to say that's going to positively...

1200
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:49,000
And everyone's got something. You can start your own podcast.

1201
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:55,000
I mean, you and I weren't doing this a year ago. We love it and we're getting better at it.

1202
01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:59,000
And we've got something to say and it's easy. I think it's a great way of communicating.

1203
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
Well, I would really encourage you, you know, each one of you has got a song to sing.

1204
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Yeah, sure.

1205
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Go find yourself a boyfriend or girlfriend or a teammate or somebody who thinks either complimentary to you

1206
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:14,000
or maybe you have similar goals or whatever your thing is, if it's going to help the humanity

1207
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:19,000
or it's going to help us move to our next level, let's get a podcast. I'll help you syndicate it.

1208
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:23,000
All you need to do is get some microphones. I'll coach you through the process.

1209
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:29,000
But let's get you out there and get you making some... get some people listening to your words.

1210
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:34,000
I'm also excited about technology. I think next year we're going to be Web 3.0.

1211
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,000
We're decentralizing a lot of things. We'll cover that on another episode.

1212
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:47,000
And then I guess what I want to close with as we enter 2025 is you can't give something you don't have.

1213
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:57,000
So I want you to all focus on finding your inner peace because you can't expect the world around you to be at peace

1214
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,000
if you have inner turmoil.

1215
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
So runaway thoughts is inner turmoil.

1216
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Be the change that you want to see.

1217
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:10,000
If you want to see peace around you, become peace. Become the peace.

1218
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:17,000
If you're arguing with your brother, your sister, your neighbor, your former coworker, whatever it is,

1219
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:25,000
be that force that brings peace to the world and find ways to lead with love and peace, kindness, compassion, understanding.

1220
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:32,000
Be the light that you want to see because if each one of us is a little light, we can completely light this place up.

1221
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,000
So, but I'll let you put your little bow on that.

1222
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,000
I already did. No, get control of your thinking. That's a big one.

1223
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:44,000
Because without that, you won't get what you came for. You cannot have a messy mind.

1224
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Love it. Well, thank you all for listening to Soul Decodes.

1225
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
It's been wonderful.

1226
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Please share with other people and we love you dearly. Thank you so much.

1227
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000
I'm going to eat a pint of ice cream now.

1228
01:09:52,000 --> 01:10:08,000
I'm going to eat a pint of ice cream now.

1229
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:21,000
