Chef Michael, Culinary Nutrition Expert from Doctoronamission™ chats about; "Why it's NOT Your Fault! It's not your fault. No, it's not. Hey, the reason why I'm talking about that today is just to understand that over the last three generations I want to talk about the timeline as what has happened around food and food in the kitchen. What has happened to our lifestyle of eating and what we're doing?How did it get to a point where so few people know what to do in the kitchen? Well today I want to just kind of help to understand it's not your fault. Here's what has happened over the last 70 years. We're going to go through that today just to help out. And I want to talk a little bit about why I am so passionate about helping you to reclaim your kitchen and what has happened in my life so that I know this is my mission and our mission here at Doctoronamission.Get daily Inspiration and Live Streams from doctoronamission FB page: https://www.facebook.com/doctoronamissionInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctoronamissionLinkedIn: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/doctoronamissionFollow Dr.Isabel's blog: http://doctoronamission.tumblr.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/doctoronamissio See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello everyone. It's Chef Michael, Culinary nutrition expert @ doctoronamission.com.This is massively important because this is going to be around an area where we just don't tend to talk a lot about it. I mean, we seem to always want to talk about physical health and working out, which is fantastic. Physical health is very important. But there's also what's called brain health. Now today, why I want to talk about this is because it is so, so important. So here, I'm going to be quoting you from and kind of paraphrasing a little bit from an article that just came out today. Now this is stuff that we've actually known for awhile.The article is entitled the Diet that's shrinking your brain. This is about the lifestyle choices that people are making and all the world currently. Okay. So here's what it's about now, the average person, I'm just going to read some of it because I need to, the average person is eating a lot more calories than they did 50 years ago, and it's having devastating results on their brains. A new study warns people are eating an extra 650 calories day.So basically, maybe they're eating like an extra burger and fries and soft drink a day than they did in the 1970s. This is from the Australian National University professor Nicholas Cherrybomb, his new research published in frontiers and neuroendocrinology brain, said there was a clear link between brain deterioration and unhealthy lifestyle choices, brain deterioration. Um, that's not good. So this study, research and reviewed results from 200 international studies and basically what they found is there is a link between type two diabetes, overweight, obesity and rapid deterioration of brain function. Another problem is that people are eating too much of the wrong types of food, such as fast food, processed foods, that are low in nutrients really has no nutritional value, and very high in calories. Wow. Now let me just point out a few other things I am reading in here even more worrying is that the damage of brain function, brain deterioration starts a lot sooner than people think.Yep. We'll talk about that in a moment. We've found strong evidence that people's unhealthy eating habits and lack of exercise for sustained periods of time, meaning over years, put them at serious risk of developing type two diabetes and significant declines in brain functions such as Alzheimer's, dementia and brain shrinkage, and cognitive decline. The article states, people are eating away at their brain with a really bad diet, basically eating the wrong foods, too much food, and little to no exercise. It is people's diets in childhood and young adults and as adults that are crucial. Wow. Okay. So bottom line is, as is Dr Isabel and I have been talking about recently, is that we now know that the brain doesn't just automatically shrink. You know, when we're forgetting things and we have cognitive decline where we're a little bit foggy and as time goes on, let's say it's in a person's forties, 50s, 60s or later, we would always before just say, oh, it's just old age.Well, it's not just old age. This has been coming on because of the choices we're making, especially through nutrition. And so we've got to understand, folks have to understand this is so, so important that the brain is elastic. It can shrink or it can grow or it can stay the same. And how do we grow the, grow the brain by using it, by also having proper nutrition lifestyle. Exercise energy, exercise doesn't have to be pounding in weights all day long, but just movement, movement, movement is so great for the body and for the brain and nutrition. And also now that around 10% and growing around 10%, currently of the world's population is either in prediabetes or type two diabetes. That's one in 10 people you probably already know somebody or you know, um, I mean, prediabetes means people don't even know it. They're probably overweight or obese and they haven't been diagnosed as type two diabetes, but they pretty much are. They just haven't been diagnosed yet. One in 10 people already. And that's getting, pardon the pun, bigger and bigger. This is so important to understand the fact that we can prevent, we can reverse. We don't ant to be going along inlife and then, BOOM! Do you know somebody who has cognitive decline? Alzheimer's dementia is having brain problems. If you do, please understand and know how Yucky that is and you definitely don't want it to be you and you don't want it to happen to any of your friends, your family, your loved ones.It is so, so important to learn about brain health and how to keep your brain sharp till the day you die.

Hello and welcome. I'm Dr. Isabel medical doctor and founder of doctoronamission.com, where I help you live up to 100 years young and healthy. In today's coaching session, we'll be learning about the ultimate guide for your nutrient dense food pyramid. Now, a lot of you from Doctoronamission have sent me questions saying, hey Dr., what is the right food pyramid to be following? I totally understand your frustration. The food pyramid that I have put together is based on functional medicine. Now, as you know, I'm a functionally medically trained doctor. What we do is we seek to address and identify the root cause of your disease, of your unwellness. We look at you as a whole person. Integrated, working together, instead of an organ that's separate from you, and it gets allocated a medical specialty.This food pyramid is nutrient dense, and it's based on functional medicine. Bottom line, the foundation of your food pyramid is vegetables. Yes, vegetables, not pasta, vegetables. I recommend that it's locally grown and organic. If you can afford organics, great, if you can't, what you can do is you can fill up your greens into the basin, into your sink, put some water, fill it up with water, and 30 mils of apple cider vinegar or 30 mils of white vinegar, little bit of salt. Swish it around and let it sit there for 20 minutes. Then rinse it and dry it off and that's as close as you're going to get as getting the toxins off your greens.Now, you want to have abundant amounts of vegetables. Because you know what? Your greens are your main meal. you want to have three to four servings. Each serving is one palm. One serving, sorry, one serving is three to four palms. You can have three to four of those servings at each meal. It's not going to hurt you, because it's been beautiful, beautiful nutrition. Its got fiber, and its got beautiful carbohydrate.I want you to understand that your vegetables are actually your carbohydrates, okay? They're your carbohydrates. A lot of people don't understand that, but you do now. The next level is you want to have your meat, fish, fowl, which is your birds, or your eggs. The amount of that is your palm without the fingers, and that's one serving.The reason you want to have the meat, the fish, the fowl and the eggs is because it's got two beautiful things. One is it's got saturated fats. Saturated fat actually give you energy. I don't want you to be afraid of saturated fats. Saturated fats are good for you. They also decrease your hunger by telling your hormones in your stomach to talk to your brain to say, "You know what, I'm full. I don't need to keep on eating." The saturated fats actually help repair your hormones.Then the protein in the meat, the fish, the fowl and the eggs is important to build muscle. Because you got to have muscle, because muscle helps burn fat. You know what? The more toned muscle you have on your body, the more physiologically younger you are. You can actually be 15 years younger than your current age in your physiology, if you have enough strong muscle, and you've got low body fat. Isn't that amazing?Let's say you were 40. You could actually have the body, the inside body of a 25 year old. How does that feel? Or you can be 60 and have the physiological body of a 45 year old. Sounds good to me. Those are my goals.Now, make sure that your meat, fish, fowl and eggs are local, grass fed and organic if you can afford it. The next level is your healthy fats. Because fats are good for you, but we've got to be eating the right fats. Now, the fats that I'm recommending are the fats that are not your vegetable oils, like your corn and your canola or your sunflower, safflower or soybean oil. Those are vegetable oils, no good. Or your trans fats. Now, those are anything that's hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated, get kicked out because they cause oxidative stress and they age you.These are the fats that are good for you. Things like butter, grass fed. Coconut oil or ghee, Olive oil, extra virgin olive oil for your salad, and source it locally so you know you're getting the real deal. Avocados, beautiful beautiful fat. Olives; green, black, lots of olives out there. But watch out for those pips because you can crunch down on them and break a tooth. I've done that before. Then you can eat raw nuts. Raw nuts, not roasted, not salted, raw. Things like macadamia. Let me see, what do we have in our cupboard? We've got macadamia, pecan, walnuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, pine nuts, just to name a few, and raw seeds. Like your sunflower, your chia seeds, your sesame seeds, your flaxseed.Remember when you're going to eat your flaxseed, if you need to grind it up, buy them whole and grind them up by yourself in the coffee grinder. Don't buy them already ground up because they become oxidized and rancid and that's no good. You're wasting your money. So, buy them whole. The other healthy fat that's good for you is nut butters. You can actually make your nut butters in your kitchen; almond butter, macadamia butter, beautiful, beautiful nut butters.The reason you want to eat your healthy fats freely is because they give you energy and they decrease your hunger. Now, here at Doctoronamission, we're learning how not to be fat to phobics. Now, when we say that, we're talking about not being afraid of eating the right fats. So, don't be afraid of eating the good fats, okay? You have permission to eat good fats.The next level of the pyramid is, I label it moderation. What I want you to eat in moderation are high fiber carbohydrates, which I will explain what they are, and high fat dairy. The high fiber carbohydrates. Those are really good for you because fiber actually fills you up, it stabilizes your blood sugar and helps you have good bowel movements, which we love doing here, because we will not be having colon cancer, right? Right.The high fiber carbohydrates are things like quinoa, steel cut oats, and barley. Also, include beans, any kind of beans. black beans, lentil beans, chickpeas, red beans, chili beans, on and on and on. Next is your low GI fruits. Those I recommend should be locally grown and in season. Now, off the top of my head, low GI fruits are all your berries like your blueberries, your blackberries, your boysenberries, your apples, your kiwi fruit. Let me see, your grapefruit and I believe, oh yeah coconut, but raw coconut.The next is boiled kumera Now, you know I live here in New Zealand, so sweet potatoes are called kumera but in the rest of the world, sweet potato. So, boiled kumera or sweet potato. When you bake it, it actually has a higher sugar level. So, boil it is the best. The next are your whole grains. Whole grains like brown rice, black rice, Basmati rice and couscous. Then your high fat dairy.Now, the amount that you shouldn't, you should not exceed more than a half a cup of these combined at each meal, okay? Half a cup, that's all you get, okay? All right, now we go to the treats. Hence the reason why we're amongst the grapes. Treats, got to have treats. Golly, gosh, if I don't have a treat, I go crazy. I get more curls and I don't really need any more curls.The treats are red wine. If you're going to drink, red wine is the best because it's got beautiful antioxidants in the form of resveratrol, and it helps beef up your mitochondria. As you know, the mitochondria is your powerhouse engine that gets you going and keeps you young and strong.However, we need to discuss how much red wine I am recommending as a treat. If you don't drink, don't start. There's too much alcoholism in this world and I don't need to encourage you to do that. However, if you do drink, red wine is the best, and no more than three glasses a week.Now, here's a question, how many glasses of wine are there in one bottle of wine? Did you say two glasses of wine in one bottle? Did I hear you say four glasses of wine in a bottle? I'm sorry, don't throw tomatoes at me, but there are 7.2 standard drinks of wine in one bottle of wine. So, no more than three glasses a week, okay? All right. And then also, another treat is dark chocolate. Now, the dark chocolate is best if it's greater than 70% dark chocolate. The reason is because the higher the dark chocolate content, the less the sugar.Dark chocolate is beautiful. It's a lovely antioxidant that keeps us young and healthy. To recap this food pyramid, the bottom level is vegetables. The next tier is your meat, your fish, your fowl and your eggs. The next is your healthy fats. The next is moderation, and then the tippy top is your treats; red wine and dark chocolate.I hope that helps clear up a lot of the confusion about what we should be eating. Because I know I was confused. That's why I put this together because you let me know your pain points, and I appreciate that. Until next time, let's go out there, let's make a positive difference. Let's love unconditionally and let's forgive fast. Talk to you later. Bye bye. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this initial episode of "Reclaim Your Health", Nutritional Chef Michael from doctoronamission.com chats about the why of RYK. You get to hear about the recent history of our kitchen, nutrition, and how food companies have directed our eating habits.Today, we’re going to be talking about how to reclaim your kitchen back from the food industry. We’re going to get into the history as well as reveal some facts on how our eating habits have come about through society.First off, Reclaim Your Kitchen is about cooking inexpensive, quick, simple, elegant, tasty and healthy meals in your home or wherever you may be. Most importantly, it’s also about reclaiming your nutrition and health back.A lot of people have asked what my food philosophy is and here’s my answer: one ingredient food.The bottom line here is getting more of the real stuff—plant-based food into your eating lifestyle and start getting rid of the multiple-ingredient foods that can most likely do more harm than good. Here’s an interesting fact: Did you know that most billion dollar food industries in the world have been bought up by the tobacco industry over the last 20 – 30 years?There are three different prominent areas in the food industry: convenience foods, soda pop and the fast foods.Convenience foods like cereals were a hit from 1949 up until today where sugar content has been adding up high, up to 50%. Moreover, salts were another food additive that made our eating habits the new normal.What else happens is that in the 1950s, some of the large food companies started hiring the Home-Ec teachers in schools to teach students how to cook Betty Crocker products instead of cooking from scratch. During the World War II, Coke offered five cents a bottle for every service man and woman around the world. So basically after the war, they created a whole generation addicted to soda pop because this was the cheapest thing they can get at that time.How about fast foods in America? McDonald’s took the lead in 1948, followed by Burger King (1959), KFC (1952), and Domino’s Pizza (1967).So now you can see the timeframe of when all these stuff started happening. The food companies have decided how much sugar you got—not you. They took that decision away from you about 50 years ago. And then they created the saying that fat was the villain. So they came up with “low-fat” foods. So now sugar and salt were added because they needed the flavor.Well here’s a question: how has that worked for society for over the last 50 years? We have become the human experiment for food companies—that’s what happened.Don’t blame yourself—it’s not your fault. That’s why taking it all full circle, I talk about Reclaim Your Kitchen. We’ve lost our kitchen to those guys or going out of our kitchens and ending up eating fast foods and takeaways. Our brains have been wired to have that sugar and salt intake for decades and generations. To get that proper nutrition back, we got to break some of that wiring. That’s what we do here on Doctor on a Mission.If you want to learn more about us, go to www.doctoronamission.com and get our fantastic downloads for free.Join Doctoronamission Tribe: http://www.doctoronamission.comGet daily Inspiration and Live Streams from doctoronamission FB page: https://www.facebook.com/doctoronamissionFollow Dr.Isabel's blog: http://doctoronamission.tumblr.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/doctoronamissioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctoronamissionLinkedIn: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/doctoronamission See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Erectile Dysfunction and Nutrition, WHAT! Hello, everyone! It’s Michael, Nutritional chef at Doctoronamission. How’s it going today? Yup, as usual, I am taking you out for a walk.So today, this is a PG message today, because we’re going to talk about Erectile Dysfunction and Nutrition. WHAT? I know, I know… What’s that going to do with anything. Guys, if you’re listening, pay attention. Ladies, if you’re listening, pay attention and pass it on to your guy. Okay? But take the kids out of the room, alright? 18 and over type thing here, alright? But like I said PG, no worse than that. This is going to be informative.Let’s talk about Erectile Dysfunction and Nutrition. Recently, I was attending a summit, a world summit on food and health. One of the top subjects was about men’s health and particularly erectile dysfunction. Did you know, which I didn’t know, that Viagra was originally by the company Pfizer started as a pill, a drug for heart disease and high blood pressure? Isn’t that interesting? It wasn’t actually for erectile dysfunction. So they started for high blood pressure and heart disease, why? Because they found out that the properties in it open up the arteries, allow the blood flow and all that kind of great stuff through a drug. So then, they realized, “Well, we can get the blood flow and then the blood pumping. We can get the penis to do what it needs to do for those who are having troubles.” Well, here’s the thing. Understand the fact that through nutrition, if you’re eating a minimum of 80-90% per day of plant-based diet—leafy greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, beans… If you’re eating that stuff over your day and putting in some good fat like coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, avocado, all those good fats, then you’re actually having natural Viagra, natural Cialis, all that pill stuff. Why? Because that is allowing your body, the properties in those foods, those natural foods, is going to allow your body to stay clean and flow. I mean, your body can do that. So, here’s the amazing thing. You know, instead of having the little blue pill, actually, you should have blueberries, red cabbage, things like that. That’s going to actually do what those drugs do, because you know what happens? You’ve got a choice.If you take the drugs, well okay, it opens things up for a little while but understand that that’s not solving the problem because if there’s an erectile dysfunction—and I’m not going to say this is in every case because there’s always exceptions—but if there’s a problem with erectile dysfunction and a guy not being able to make it happen, well that could be an early sign of a heart attack or stroke, or clogged arteries or high blood pressure, something going on because that means the blood for some reason is not pumping down there and that means something else could be going on up here (Heart). Alright? So it’s really something that needs to be looked at. It could be an early sign for something else. Here’s the thing with that. We need to understand what’s going on, there’s basically blood’s not being pumped. Now like I said, not every time but the majority of time the blood is not happening. You’re not getting pumped to the penis where it needs to be. So through nutrition, we can clean that up and that’s what we need to do. Instead of the blue pill, look for the blueberries, look for the red cabbage, look for the red beets, look for the rainbow of colors and get yourself a minimum of 80% of your daily intake on up to 90% of your daily intake is that those clean foods I talked about—nuts, seeds, beans, leafy green vegetables, broccolis, kales, rocket, spinach, cauliflower, onions, mushrooms, all of those great things. That’s going to allow yourself to naturally get your Viagra. Here’s another thing, boys and girls, men and ladies... So if let’s say you are having an anniversary, special occasion, Valentine’s Day, maybe you are on your honeymoon, what I highly suggest if you’ve got a romantic moment coming up, then don’t have a burger and cheesy fries. Don’t have a big steak and a baked potato, and a couple of beers because you know what? That stuff is going to shut down the system, it’s going to clog up the arteries, you’re going to make everything work harder and guess what? That blood flow you need, that time for the romantic encounter, it’s going to be hard for that to happen. Well, actually I shouldn’t say it– it’s hard not going to happen. You know what I’m saying, I know you know what I’m saying.You know, there’s a tip for you ladies and men. If there’s something going on romantically, eat clean food because it’s going to help you out. You’re going to be able to do what you need to do a lot better. So, hey I got to go. I’m out for a walk. We’ll share some more but I just wanted to bring that up about nutrition, erectile dysfunction. If that is happening make sure you check that out. It could be something else going on but do it naturally. Eat well, eat healthy, eat clean, keep your system clean. Alright, This is Michael, nutritional chef at Doctoronamission. We’ll catch up again …Okay, thanks. Bye for now! See you! Thanks for the walk! See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Hello! I’m Dr. Isabel, Medical Doctor and Founder of Doctoronamission.com. On today’s episode, we will be talking about how your stools are doing. - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Join Doctoronamission Tribe: http://www.doctoronamission.comGet daily Inspiration and Live Streams from doctoronamission FB page: https://www.facebook.com/doctoronamissionFollow Dr.Isabel's blog: http://doctoronamission.tumblr.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/doctoronamissioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctoronamissionLinkedIn: https://nz.linkedin.com/in/doctoronamission- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Another word for stools is poo, or another word is bowel movements, or ‘bms’. Okay, now that we’ve got that figured out, I just want to talk to you about Constipation. Do you know that I am asked, as a Doctor, by parents about Constipation [with their children] starting at about one year of age. I take care of Constipation from the age of one to greater than one hundred. And you know what? I want to teach you, show you, inspire you today about how to have a good bowel movement so that you don’t get constipated.Okay, so what does a good bowel movement look like? Well, we’ll start with the basics. You want to be pooing something [sizewise] that looks like from your index to your thumb—that’s the roundness that you want. And you want to poo about 30 cm (or a foot) a day. And it doesn’t have to come out of you all at once; it could be half twice a day. But that’s the bottom line: index finger to thumb around [in diametre] and you want it to be 30 cm or 12 inches [in length]. If you are pooing stools like little rocks, that’s not good. If you are not pooing everyday, that’s not good either. You need to get into a routine where you’re getting good bowel movements. So how to you get good bowel movements? Well, #1 you drink water, H2O. If you don’t like the taste of water, well then guess what? You need to learn to love water. Put a little mint in there, put a little orange, put a little lemon—whatever you need to do.The next is oils. You need to lubricate that GI, that intestine of yours. How to we do that? By eating good oils. And the oils that I recommend for you and your lovely family are butter (instead of margarine), cocoanut oil, and extra virgin olive oil—just some of the good oils to be using.The next is fibre. What is fibre? Fibre is that stuff you see in your vegetables and fruits. I just want to give you a visual about what fibre does. Fibre is like a scrub brush, and it scrubs the inside of your intestines to get all of those toxins, all of that dead decayed food (yuk!), off the inside lining walls of your intestines. Fibre also fills you up, so the more fibre you eat, the fuller you’ll feel, and the less you’ll eat. You you want to have about 30-50 grams of fibre a day. Not the recommended 10-25, no, no no! The new recommendations are 35-50 grams a day. And where do you find all this fibre? Well, all vegetables have good fibre, but dark green leafy vegetables have the best fibre. Your fruits also have fibre. And legumes also have fibre. What’s a legume? Legumes are beans. And I just want to share with you a little song that my brother Michael used to sing to me and my family at our dinner table when I was a little girl about beans when my mom would serve us beans. I’m going to get my instruments ready … so hold on. And the song goes like this:“Beans, beans are good for your heart, the more you eat, the more you fart! The more you fart, the better you feel, so let’s have beans for every meal!”My brother would make us laugh so much! The other legumes are things like lentils, chick peas, red kidney beans … those are some of the legumes that have high fibre. Remember, you don’t want to eat a whole 50 grams a day right away, because you’ll be doing the ‘ol [farting] right away, so you want to slow down. If you are doing a lot of flatulence, then slow down on your intake of fibre and just work your way up to 50 grams a day.Nuts also have a good level of fibre in them. So, after you’ve had 30 cm a day, and from thumb to index finger in size, you can take a look in the toilet bowl, and go “bye bye poopie!” And then just go ahead and flush! So the ‘take home’ is:• 30 cm;• thumb to finger;• doesn’t have to be all at one time (can be in two halves);• make sure you are doing that every single day.Plus, the more fibre you eat, the more Colon Cancer and Constipation that is kept away. Yes! And that is a good life. How would you like to live a long, vibrant life without Constipation? Yes!!Well, that’s it from me from today’s episode. Thanks for coming and listening, and if you have any comments , why don’t you go ahead and leave a message below, because I’d love to hear your comments. Just keep them clean, because this is a family business. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In today’s coaching session, we are going to learn about HOW TO CURE CONSTIPATION Naturally. People usually come to the doctor for pills to cure their constipation, but today, I’m going to coach you how to cure it naturally.Fact is, the regular poo is around 30cm long which is about 12 inches, with a diameter that needs to be from the index finger to the thumb. You should be regularly moving your bowels at least once a day or if you can’t poo a whole one like this, then you want to make sure that it’s at least half, twice a day.Now let’s cure constipation!1.

The next night, if you don’t get diarrhea or loose stools then what you want to do that night is take 600mg. The next day, if you start having loose stools then you know you back down to about 400 again and just kind of play with maybe 400-500mg a night.

A Moment with Dr. Isabel MD - Omega 3 Made Simple!Hi! In this coaching session, I'm going to answer a question to help you make omega 3 simple so that you can understand it, okay?Now I had a question from a tribe member at Doctor on a Mission and she asked me, “Hey Doc, can I eat walnuts, flaxseed, chia, hemp, soy to get all of my omega 3’s?” That is a brilliant question and I completely understand where she’s coming from. Now I’d like to talk to you about omega 3’s and I will answer that question, I promise. But before, we’ve got to have a little lesson in omega 3’s.Now omega 3’s consist of 3 omegas, and they are ALA, EPA and DHA. Can you see that? Alright.Now, we as human beings, have a very poor system in allowing ALA which is your walnut, your flaxseeds, your chia, your hemp and your soy that’s all in this area, they’re all ALA’s. They don’t—they’re not very good, whoops. That’s a big X. they’re not very good at being converted into EPA and DHA which is your main omega 3’s that we need to be eating, okay?So the answer to the question is: No, you can’t by eating just walnuts, flaxseeds, chia, hemp and soy to get all your omega 3’s because that’s right here and our bodies do not convert them into EPA and DHA. And this is 70% of what we need in our brain.Did you know that 70% of your brain is swimming in EPA and DHA? That blows my mind.So the goal is to make sure you’re having 2 - 3 grams, that’s 2,000 – 3,000 milligrams. 2 – 3 grams of omega 3’s every day and you can find that in cold water fish or free-range organic eggs, okay?So I hope that helps. Make sure you got your brains swimming in those beautiful omega 3’s so you can think clearly and respond to life and be vibrant. Have a great outlook on life, okay? I take my omega 3’s that’s for sure. Alright, have a wonderful day. Go out there and make a difference, love unconditionally, and forgive frequently, okay?Bye.

Valleys of Life - SummaryToday, we’re going to talk about Valleys of Lifeand our Self Talk. Have you ever struggled with your self talk? Are you consistent at talking nicely to yourself? What kind of things do you find yourself saying to yourself? Let me just tell you a little bit about who I am. I’m Isabel and I’m living here in New Zealand. I graduated in 1991 as a medical doctor from the University of Colorado Medical School. At the moment, I have been working on Doctor on a Mission. Before I graduated from medical school, I used to say things like, “You will never make it Isabel. You are such a loser” or things like, “You’ll never get the weight off” or “You’ll never become a doctor”, you know, “you’re not good at math”. Life is full of ups and downs, right? Everybody likes having a beginning where they have a vision of where they are going and people love it when they get to the top of their goal. But nobody likes the change and the struggle. When we’re in the valley, we’ve got a choice to make. The choice is -are you going to starve your doubt and feed your faith? Or, are you going to starve your faith and feed your doubt? Whatever you feed will grow.What you can do to get through that struggle are:1. Read positive books. · Zieg Ziegler;· Og Mandino;· John Maxwell;· Norman Vincent Peale – “The Power of Positive Thinking”;· The Good Book, the Bible2. Make a file in your email “When Life Happens”· Start depositing articles, stories, and saying so that when you find yourself in that valley, you can go there and get replenished, get fed with that information.3. Statements· Post statements all over the house, in the car, in your phone, wherever, such as:o “You are worthy.”o “You are unrepeatable miracle.”o “I will get through this and succeed.”4. Surround yourself with positive people that believe in you.5. Decide to do this afraid.· Fear will stop everybody, but don’t let it stop you. Remember, the antidote to fear is FAITH.When the storms of your life happen, bend but don’t break.Know that you will be stronger because of it and you will get skills, and you will get the mindset that you can make it through anything in your life.Another thing I want you to learn about is to shine the lighton your self-limiting beliefs.You always have a choice. Say something like “I take control of my life and I am going to find a way. I am going to do this afraid. I will figure this out,”and become responsible for your success. Don’t rely on anybody else to make you successful. You got to do the work.So in whatever you do, you can make the decision as long as it’s going to help people, it’s going to serve them, it won’t hurt them, and it’s within God’s statements.

The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats Are you afraid of eating fat? Are you what I call, a fat-ophobic?Well if you are, in today’s session, we’re going to learn about “The Two Mistakes that People Make When Eating Fats.” Doctors have always taught patients not to eat fat—that was the dogma: low fat is the way to go. However, new research is showing us that we need to be eating good fat and making sure that we’re eating the good carbohydrates.Number 1 mistake: People are not eating the correct fat.Fats you want to be eating:1. Avocado – a mono unsaturated oil2. Fish – (make sure you’re getting it aqua farm - sustainable farmed fish in the form of aqua fish)a. Salmonb. Mackerelc. Sardines· Resource recommendation on aqua farming: Check out TED Talks with Dan Barber and Mike Velings3. Raw Nuts – not salted, not sugared, not chocolate coateda. Cashewb. Almondsc. Walnutsd. Macadamiae. Pecanf. Pine4. Raw Seeds – ideal for smoothiesa. Pumpkinb. Sesamec. Chiad. Hemp seeds5. Oilsa. Extra virgin olive oilb. Extra virgin coconut oil – increases the mitochondria, which burns energy then increases our metabolism and loses our body fat weight· Note: Google fake names for olive oil to avoid6. Grass-Fed Meat, Organic Eggs and Grass-Fed ButterFats you want to AVOID:1. TransfatA transfat is synthetically made in the laboratory and what they do is, they pump in hydrogen atoms. Hydrogen just makes everything nice and stable and they come out as hydrogenated oils or partially hydrogenated oils.· Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oilsa. Margarineb. Cakesc. Fried foods like fish and chipsd. Cookies / bickiese. Crackers or savory crackersf. Pastries.2. Vegetable Oil - unstable with high heat and causes free radicals· 2 C’s of vegie oils to avoid:a. Cornb. Canola· 3 S’s of vegie oils to avoid:a. Soy beanb. Safflowerc. SunflowerNumber 2 mistake: People eat sweets with their fat.Include fiber in your diet, especially when you’re eating sugar or fat. Fiber helps absorb the sugar into our blood stream so we don’t have such a spike of our blood sugar.Your fiber is your dark green leafy vegetables. You can have as much of that because not only is that a fiber but that’s also a good carbohydrate.Now I'm going to give you the correct equation when you’re eating fat:Good fat + carbohydrate (limit in amount) + fiberWhat type of carbs should we eat?Starchy carbs you want to keep to a minimum of ½ cup 2x/day:a. Beetsb. Parsnipc. Turnipsd. Pumpkine. Squashf. Sweet potato (kumar)g. Breadh. Grainsi. Ricej. Quinoak. BeansMake sure that you have NO SUGARS in the form of white bread, pastries, crackers and white potato because that’s just HIGH GLUCOSE LOAD as you’re just going to store this fat. So I hope that helps guide you to become fat-ophobic no more!Now let’s go out there and Make a Difference. Love Unconditionally, and Forgive Frequently!Your friend; Dr. Isabel MD ( Izzy) See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In today’s coaching session, I’m going to talk to you about the secret the food industry does not want you to know.Now, in our brain is this thing called the “nucleus accumbens”, which is our addiction center. Things like tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, cocaine, and gambling stimulates the nucleus accumbens, and this happy hormone called “dopamine” comes out. Dopamine makes us happy. When the levels of dopamine go down, we get sad.What happens when it goes down? We go, “I need some more of my drug,” and that becomes an addiction.Research has shown that if you give rats an option between sugar or cocaine, guess which one they’ll pick? SUGAR. Rats will pick sugar because it stimulates more dopamine and more release. That is why sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine.I want you to understand that your desire for sugar in any of its many different forms is not lack of willpower but it’s because of the science behind it.we are addicted to sugar. That’s just the way it is and the food industry knows it and they are taking advantage of it.You see, the food industry is very tricky. They have engineered food to make us addicted. And there are taste institutes with craving expert scientists that are figuring out the bliss point of certain foods.Those food industry companies aren’t sitting down next to somebody on dialysis, 8 hours a day, 3 days a week, getting dialysis just to stay alive for one more day. So, shame on them.Also obesity has been apparently common nowadays and it is not because people want to be obese. It’s because their bodies are starving for real food, real nutrition. They’re going to keep on eating so they’re going to get fatter because they’re not eating the right food. Plus, obesity is also due to food addictions.So you’ve got to take back your health. You cannot rely on the government, the medical community, or the food industry to help you out. Learn how to not eat packaged food—nothing that says healthy on it.When was the last time you saw an apple which says healthy on it? If it says “healthy”, it’s most likely not healthy for you. Stay away from gluten-free foods. It’s a craze around the world now, and guess what? Yes, the food industry knows it.They’ll say “gluten-free” but then there’s junk and sugar in there. So don’t eat anything that says “gluten-free”. Just don’t eat bad food.You want to make sure you only eat food that goes from the ground to the table. Eat food that your great, great grandmother would’ve eaten, recognizes and still would recognize.Now that you know the secret the food industry does not want you to know, you are FULLY equipped.So let’s go out there. Let’s make a difference. Let’s love unconditionally and let’s forgive frequently. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Summary: The Myths About Type 2 Diabetes   In today’s session, we’re going to learn about the 5 myths regarding Type 2 Diabetes. The goal of this session is to help you wake up to a new day and give you hope from this disease. Myth #1: Diabetes is genetic. We’ve been taught that our parents can genetically pass on to their children the type 2 diabetes—well that isn’t quite so. The genetic code, which is your DNA, is like the instruction book about how your body is going to express itself with certain diseases. In 1980, a study by the World Health Organization found that there were 108 million people in the world with type 2 diabetes. 34 years later in 2014, they did another study. This time, they found that there was  an increase to 422 million who now had type 2 diabetes. The genetic code for humans only changes 0.2% in 20,000 years. Going from 108 million to 422 million in less than 34 years is a lot more than a 0.2% change in 20,000 years. The bottom line is that a lot of us have the type 2 diabetes gene in our DNA.  Studies have indicated that food sits on top of the type 2 diabetes gene and either stops the expression or allows the expression of that gene. So if you’re eating the WRONG type of food, then what that does is it allows the expression of the type 2 diabetes in our body. Conversely, if you are eating good clean whole food, it will stop theexpression of the type 2 diabetes gene.  The study of how food affects our genes, is called “nutrigenomics.” So if you have type 2 diabetes in your family, you don’t have to express it if you eat correctly. Myth #2: Diabetes is not reversible. There is CLEAR scientific evidence that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Of course, the earlier you find type 2 diabetes, the better. If you find it and start trying to reverse it later, you still can but it’s with very intensive lifestyle changes. There was a groundbreaking study that showed people with advanced type 2 diabetes that had overworked pancreas were placed on a strict lifestyle change. In one week of change in their lifestyle and diet, they reversed their condition. The insulin started working again. You’ve got to realize that your body is so smart - it will heal under the right conditions. Myth #3: Pre-diabetes is no big problem. With pre-diabetes, you can have heart attacks, strokes and you can actually develop cancer. Additionally, you can start expressing dementia in the form of Alzheimer’s. So pre-diabetes is just as risky as full blown type 2 diabetes. Myth #4: Once you’re on insulin, you’re on it forever. Insulin is fantastic at keeping your blood sugar stable. However, there are some complications with insulin such as weight gain and high blood pressure. If you work on  intensive lifestyle change, you can eventually come off your insulin. Myth #5: Gastric bypass is the answer to weight loss. What happens with gastric bypass is they shrink your stomach and the problem with that is, oftentimes it fails; the weight comes back and complications like infections may likely occur. You’re not getting to the root cause of the problem with this procedure. What we really need to be doing is educating on nutrition and teaching people how to change their habits. I hope that helps clear up a few myths regarding type 2 diabetes. Until next time, Go out there; make a positive difference in this world; let’s love unconditionally; and forgive quickly.

Summary   In today’s coaching session, you will be learning about how you can have radiant skin and age gracefully. We got to understand that our skin is actually an organ. Yes, it covers up our whole body and it’s an organ just like your heart is, your lungs, your intestines, your liver is… it’s beating and living all day long, 24/7 whether you’re awake or not. Our skin is like the mirror of our internal health. So let’s first talk about skin eruptions: acne and eczema. Acne is a skin problem that starts when oil and dead skin cells clog up your pores. We, in the medical profession, can only pretty much prescribe antibiotics either cream and/or pills for acne. Eczema is a skin eruption. It’s like a volcanic eruption in your skin that just pops up and then you start scratching, it gets infected and then it starts trailing all over your body. We, in the medical profession, are super good at giving you steroid creams. Steroid creams work but in a false way. What I mean is steroid creams remove the eczema skin but they don’t get to the root cause of the eczema skin. The problem with these creams is they thin our skin which makes us more susceptible to infection. The two-part way of having radiant skin: First we need to look at what we’re taking in on the inside. Things like micronutrients, vitamins or supplements are important. It cleans our system so that we have good, clean glowing skin. Macronutrients like good carbohydrates, good proteins, good fats. Things that badly affect our skin: Food allergies. Here, your body will fight a reaction, will start a reaction, it’ll start a war to get rid of what it’s allergic to and it’ll erupt your skin. If you’ve got high stress in your life, it’ll mess up your skin and we’ll get pimples. Hormone imbalances like our thyroid. Second are the things external to our skin. Pollution Smog Skin products Here are 5 chemicals found in skin products that you need to avoid: Oxybenzones Thalates Formaldehyde Petroleum The two foods you want to stay away from to avoid acne long term: Sugar Dairy You can have radiant skin and age gracefully by: Paying attention to what you eat internally; Paying attention to what you put on your skin; Avoid sugar; and Avoid sugar and dairy. It can get a little expensive being healthy but it’s worth the investment. I hope that this coaching session helped you guys out because it totally taught me so much stuff that I didn’t know. So until next coaching session, let’s go out there and make a difference, let’s love unconditionally and let’s forgive frequently. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
