Menopause is one of those things no one really prepares you for, right? The sleepless nights, the cravings, the mood swings—it can feel like your body is running the show. That's why I sat down with two brilliant women, Cynthia Thurlow, a Functional Nutrition expert with over 15 million views on her TEDx talk about intermittent fasting, and Dani Williamson, a powerhouse in Integrative Medicine specializing in gut, thyroid, and hormone health, to talk about real, practical ways to make this phase of life not just manageable but empowering. From hormones to heart health to inflammation, they're sharing the stuff every woman needs to know to feel like herself again—maybe even better. We chat about everything from creating a distraction-free sleep sanctuary to tackling inflammation and dialing in your hormones. These simple changes can make a huge difference, and you don't have to go through it alone—we're figuring it out together. Cynthia breaks down the numbers every woman should know to protect her heart health (yes, it's about more than cholesterol), while Dani talks about the surprising ways stress wreaks havoc on your hormones. We're also getting into the hidden role of inflammation in menopause and how your diet and lifestyle choices can either fuel the fire or calm things down. Plus, there's an eye-opening conversation about setting boundaries to create space for what really matters—your health and happiness. Trust me, you'll leave this episode feeling inspired and ready to take charge! If you're ready to feel your best, let's do this together!

Do you have a health challenge but don't feel like you have the answers you need? Do want to walk in vitality and wellness? An expert in integrative Health, Dani Williamson will help you find the root causes of chronic sickness and help restore you to walk in God-given divine health. Dani Williamson MSN, FNP – Integrative Healthcare Nurse Practitioner A graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner program. Dani incorporates the art of medicine by balancing traditional and integrative therapies. Dani encourages her patients to step out of the realm of “normal” and reach “optimal” health. Dani was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 1985. She struggled with chronic itch of her arms and legs for several years, diagnosed with lupus in her early 30's and then not surprisingly prescribed psych medications to manage her emotions. Not once, was she ever told “your diet controls your pain” or asked, “what are your eating” by the 10 specialists she saw over 24 years. She continued eating a Standard American Diet as her symptoms progressed, and prescriptions to treat the symptoms of her conditions did as well. It wasn't until she began practicing Integrative Medicine in her first job after graduating nurse practitioner school that she was educated on the importance of healing the gut. Her story of healing is an inspiration and source of hope to her patients. Sue Detweiler is an author, speaker, and host of the Healing Rain podcast listened to in 135 nations.

Dani was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 1985. She struggled with chronic itch of her arms and legs for several years, diagnosed with lupus in her early 30's and then not surprisingly prescribed psych medications to manage her emotions. Not once, was she ever told “your diet controls your pain” or asked, “what are your eating” by the 10 specialists she saw over 24 years. She continued eating a Standard American Diet as her symptoms progressed, and prescriptions to treat the symptoms of her conditions did as well. It wasn't until she began practicing Integrative Medicine in her first job after graduating nurse practitioner school that she was educated on the importance of healing the gut. Her story of healing is an inspiration and source of hope to her patients. Sue Detweiler is an author, speaker, and host of the Healing Rain podcast listened to in 135 nations.

Hi and welcome back to How Humans Heal! In today's episode I interview Dani Williamson about her new book Wild & Well: Dani's Six Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing. I enjoyed talking with Dani about her healing process and her book because she and I have the same interest in helping people recover from stress and prevent health issues caused by stress. Please note, if you are struggling with depression or triggers caused by stress, this episode may be disturbing. Our intention is to bring awareness to the potential effects of childhood trauma as well as the options and opportunities for recovering from stress and trauma. Those options are not often discussed in the conventional medical system, which is what motivates Dani and I to write and talk about it. Dani Williamson is a functional medicine practitioner who was previously a family nurse practitioner and she's here today to tell us more about what inspired her to completely go this route of helping people to improve their health by making lifestyle changes that anyone can implement and make a huge difference in their overall health. We're all humans just trying to get through life as healthy as we can! Dani grew up in complete trauma and constant chaos. With a grandfather that committed suicide, a mother who also attempted suicide multiple times and a stepfather that was a child molester, she experienced stress throughout her childhood. At age 20 she also attempted suicide, was in a bad marriage and lost everything she had. She was then diagnosed with lupus and fibromyalgia and depression. After hitting rock bottom, she decided to pick herself up and apply to nursing school. While getting through school at age 40, she started trying to find a cure for her lupus. One day a colleague said to her: “Dani what are you eating? Don't you know your diet controls your symptoms?” What's at the end of your fork will heal you or kill you! In Dani's words, “If you weren't born sick you don't have to live sick.” Diseases are turned on and off by lifestyle. That's how she developed her 6 steps to a better life: eat well, sleep well, move well, poop well, distress well and commune well. Childhood trauma that happens to you before the age of 18 can set you up for a lifetime of chronic disease. 64% of the population have had at least one ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) in their lifetime. And if you had one you are 50% more likely to have another one at some point. Furthermore, if you had four or more adverse events you have a 20-year shorter lifespan due to high stress. As much as we know that trauma and stress in our childhoods has a potential to affect our health for the rest of our lives, we also know that there's something you can do about it. Dani started researching about food sensitivities and after changing her diet and life habits she doesn't have any pain or symptoms from lupus anymore! She proved that what you eat could help you reverse whatever is happening to you. The food industry is about addiction, we get addicted to gluten, dairy, sugar, etc. And those foods keep the inflammation inside going. If you are eating drive-through food four or five times a week you are eating fake food that is addictive. It's when you decrease inflammation that you begin to heal! The food you're eating is causing inflammation which is disrupting your whole body and overall health. But this takes time, and it takes commitment, and it takes consistency to make it sustainable. But eating healthy is not the only thing. It becomes critical to also have enough sleep so you wake up rested so you can eat well and have energy to exercise every day. These are the kind of lifestyle changes you need to make to really start healing your body and improve your overall health. Just pick something that you enjoy. It doesn't have to be hours it could be just a short walk which will also help you digest your food better and have better bowel movements because it's not what you eat, it's what you absorb in your gut that counts. But this is not meant to become a long To-Do-List as that may be overwhelming. This is not meant to be another stress generator in your life. It's meant to be a way to identify the things you can tweak and fine tune to achieve a better and more sustainable lifestyle. Then there is commune well. When you are with your people, when you're with your tribe, whether it's a couple of friends or a whole group, your inflammation goes down because you're laughing and your cortisol levels go down so your stress goes dow The secret is to keep doing what you're doing. Keep on working, improving, finding new ways to implement these habits because they are going to make a difference for you and your family. Your body is designed to heal itself and a few lifestyle changes can boost this healing. This is why Dani wrote her book - to give you a strategy and break it down into easy common-sense steps for reversing decades of chronic disease and hopefully change the entire trajectory of your families' life.

Well, the majority of the time it's coming from what's at the end of your fork, isn't it? It is. What's at the end of your fork will heal you or kill you.” “Eggs are the #2 food allergy in the United States for children. And most people don't realize that.” “You got to get your community. You got to be lined up with your people. I'm all about diversity and inclusion but when it comes to your health, absolutely not.

Are you feeling stuck or resigned to settle for “just OK”? Then you'll want to listen to this inspiring episode of Ask the Health Expert with Dani Williamson, FNP. Dani did a complete 180, going from owning a maternity store and being a fashion designer to becoming a nurse practitioner, ending an unhappy marriage, all while raising two young children on food stamps. Along her journey, Dani was diagnosed with various health conditions, including lupus, anxiety, depression, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Her philosophy is simple but powerful: To overcome past trauma and reclaim your health, you need to do 6 things that she explains in this episode. Over time, Dani discovered food was the missing link that her doctors weren't talking about. She used elimination diets (namely, The Virgin Diet) to address her health concerns and find healing. She uses these same physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual processes she outlines in her new book, Wild & Well: Dani's Six Commonsense Steps to Radical Healing, to help people heal at her Integrative Family Medicine in Franklin, Tennessee. Dani's story will inspire you if you've ever felt stuck or believe that things can never get any better. You won't want to miss this episode!

Inflammation is a cellular response in your body to some sort of injury. Cytokines are the proteins in your blood that create the inflammatory response. When you have cellular injury you get capillary dilation, increase in white blood cells, redness and warmth/heat. You have acute inflammation, which you need to protect you and heal you (like if you cut your hand). But there is also chronic inflammation, which is long lasting inflammation and this is the issue. Things that end in "-itis" basically are types of inflammation. For example like sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses), gastritis (inflammation of the gut) and colitis (inflammation of the colon). Dani believes that inflammation is your bodies response to a poor diet, lack of exercise, inadequate sleep chronic bowel issues and lack of community connection. A few other things that can cause inflammation are mold, breast implant illness and viruses. Classic Signs of Inflammation Many things can be signs of inflammation. We need to look at the why and the root cause of things versus just treating the symptom because sometimes you don't even have symptoms until you develop a disease. Here are some things to look out for that may be signs of inflammation: AcneHeadachesExzcemaJoint pain, back pain, etc that are not injury relatedFatigueMigrainesSeasonal allergiesDepressionAnxietyBleeding gumsSkin conditions like acne and excema Ways to Reduce Inflammation While our western medicine seems to treat the symptoms of inflammation versus looking for the root cause, there are things you can do to keep your body less likely to have inflammation. First, increase fresh whole foods consumption. The more fresh food we eat, like veggies and fruit, the more nutrients we will get to keep us healthy. A mostly plant-based diet is a great way to eat. There are also foods we want to avoid. The top inflammatory foods are: GlutenDairySugarEggsPeanutsSoyCorn This isn't to say that everyone should not eat these at all, but if you are having issues start eliminating these foods to see what may be bothering you. There is a big connected with our gut health, inflammation and our mental health so making sure to pay attention to what you are eating is so important. Other things you can do to help fight inflammation is move your body regularly, get enough sleep and practice gratitude! More and more research is showing how much this is all connected. Natural Anti-Inflammatory Agents There are also other things you can take to help fight inflammation. While medication can be necessary in some cases, there are natural ways to help support your body as well that your medical provider may suggest. Here are a list of things out there that people...
How to live a wild, healthy and fulfilled life at midlife and beyond? The first step is to accept where we are at this moment. We are all going through an internal transformation, but it doesn't have to be a painful one. You don't have to spend your whole life in a state of pain and suffering.

In today's episode Dani Williamson shares her six step approach to healing. We talk about how in order to heal we need to eat well, sleep well, move well, and poop well, de-stress well, and build community. Dani's common sense approach cuts through the confusing medical jargon and makes healing accessible for all. She truly is Wild and Well and shares how you can be too.
If you've experienced trauma in your past, know that you're not broken, you're a survivor. Our past experiences can lead to chronic debilitating conditions but they don't have to be a life sentence. Dani Williamson suffered from a number of chronic lifestyle diseases related to her adverse childhood experiences, and now she's on a mission to help people understand how your diet can either heal you or kill you, and how you can overcome what you're suffering from with six steps to living wild and well. [1:05] Adverse experiences and the physical issues that come up from them are contributing to an explosion of depression, disorders, and suicide. Phone calls to suicide crisis headlines have gone up 800% since the beginning of the pandemic. Age 10 to 24 is the fastest growing demographic for suicide. [2:45] Dani grew up in a storm of chaos. Her grandfather died by suicide and her mother attempted to kill herself many times. Dani suffered from chronic diarrhea for years from the stress and 15 years later she was in a bad marriage, diagnosed with lupus, and was on the road to committing suicide. [4:15] Dani's kids were her reason for choosing to continue to live. She packed up and moved and decided to become a nurse practitioner. Despite the improvement in her relationships, Dani was still suffering from several conditions and it wasn't until one doctor, in particular, asked her about her diet did things start to change. [6:20] Checking her food sensitivities changed the trajectory of her career completely. Dani had seen four gastroenterologists before the age of 40 and not one of them asked Dani what she was eating. [6:45] Changing her diet turned her world around. She no longer needed to take medication for lupus or IBS, and she healed the inflammation in her body and now she's on a mission to help other people do the same. [7:35] You can reverse whatever it is that you've turned on from years of chronic dysfunction. [8:30] Adverse childhood experiences don't define us, but they do impact us. Those kinds of experiences can affect the very wiring of your brain. Dani's mother's second marriage was to a child molester who preyed on Dani when she was younger. [9:45] Dani's ACE score was 6. If you have a score of 4 or above, your risk of dying from stroke, heart attack, or suicide goes way up. In Dani's practice, she made the realization that almost all of her patients were suffering from some sort of childhood trauma. Dani now uses the ACE evaluation with every patient in her office. [11:40] Dani recently had a patient with an ACE score of 10 and at the age of 60. [12:35] Dr. Vincent Felitti was an internal medicine doctor and in 1985 noticed that 50% of the participants in his weight loss clinic were dropping out. One day he asked a patient how old they were when they first had sex, and this lead him to the realization that many of his patients had incredibly adverse childhood experiences. [15:00] Dr. Felitti started asking more related questions and developed them into the ACE test. He took the test to a number of different academies and was generally rejected until a person from the CDC recognized the importance of the test and they started one of the largest studies ever on childhood trauma. [16:45] What happens to you before the age of 18 can set you up for a lifetime of chronic lifestyle diseases, depression, suicidal thoughts. Every single chronic lifestyle disease risk is increased by a higher ACE score. [18:30] Every school missed the effect of adverse childhood experiences. Adverse childhood experiences are the single largest public health crisis in the United States and every single pediatrician should be offering this questionnaire.. [19:30] Women are 50% more likely to have an ACE score higher than 5. Your ACE score is directly linked to stress and the hormone cortisol. When cortisol is high chronically, we know that you have a much higher risk of developing an autoimmune disease. [22:50] Dani goes over the 10 ACE questions and how many people assume their experiences are the normal childhood experiences that most people have. [26:50] The ACE score is now a fundamental component of how Dani understands a patient's situation and what may contribute to their issues. [29:15] If you feel triggered right now, this could be your opportunity to recognize what has happened to you and turn things around. Your diet, sleep, and movement define the quality of your life and you can take back control. [31:15] Irregular bowel movements are a clue that you are not eating properly. You should be having a bowel movement once or twice a day, and if that's not the case you need to look at your diet. Your diet controls 90% of your health. [33:30] If your diet is mainly coming from a drive-thru window, you are creating systemic inflammation in your body. Inflammation is the root of every chronic lifestyle disease. [34:45] Many of the people with high ACE scores usually don't have a community around them, and that's a big component of being able to heal. Social interactions reduce stress. We heal in community and in communion with others. [36:30] Giving back to a community takes your mind off your problems and increases oxytocin, one of the most powerful positive hormones in your body. During the pandemic, Dani started hosting physically distanced cookouts each weekend to create a sense of community that was being lost. [38:40] As adults, you have to automate, eliminate, and delegate everything that isn't serving you and your family. [39:40] Dani offers a class to patients before they see her called the six steps to healing. In terms of diet, Dani walks the talk. She started with one small step at a time [40:45] You have to put yourself first because you are worthy of that. It takes time to rewire your brain and beliefs, but when you do and you're running at 100% it trickles down to everything in your life. [42:30] It's also important to find a therapist to help you sort through the trauma in your own life. Don't be afraid to ask if they have a sliding scale if you need to and to find the right therapist for you. [43:40] Dani's book is common-sense practical medicine. She wrote the book so that anyone can understand that garbage in equals garbage out, and that the average person who wants to feel better has a path forward. [45:45] Dani tells the story of a patient suffering from a number of chronic lifestyle diseases, including being morbidly obese and having an ACE score of 9. Between addressing her adverse childhood experiences and finding out what her food sensitivities are, she's turning around her entire world. [50:45] There is no age limit on health. It takes time to change and improve, but when you see the improvements in your life and how you feel, you will feel motivated to stay consistent and keep going. [52:15] Dani and Dr. Cabeca discussthe origin story and benefits of Naltrexone. To find a functional medicine doctor in your area, go to ifm.org or speak to your local compounding pharmacist.

A graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner program, Dani Williamson practices the art of medicine by balancing traditional and integrative therapies. She was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in 1985 and Lupus in her early 30's and then, not surprisingly, prescribed psych medications to manage her emotions. Not once was she ever told “your diet controls your symptoms” or asked “what are you eating?” by the 10 specialists she saw over 24 years. She continued eating a Standard American Diet as her symptoms progressed, and prescriptions to treat those increased as well. It wasn't until she began practicing integrative medicine after graduating from nurse practitioner school that she was educated on the importance of healing the gut. Dani owns Integrative Family Medicine in Franklin, TN, where she focuses on gut, thyroid, hormone and adrenal health with her patients. Her approach embodies a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual process to healing. She believes God designed our bodies to heal themselves in our 40's, 50's, 60's or even 70's.

She is an amazing functional medicine practitioner here in Franklin. I first met Dani about nine years ago. And she helped me with Hashimoto is I've got autoimmune thyroid issues. I don't say disease, I just say issues. This function will be not disease. We don't say disease, can I condition but she has been instrumental. And then my husband told me I had to go to somebody with who took our insurance. And it got to the point where I was waking up with burning arms in the middle of the night and just in tears, and I said, I don't care what it costs. I don't care. I need to go to somebody who understands this because this is affecting my mental well being my physical well being. And so I found my way back to Dani So she is truly a gem and full of knowledge and resources and looks at wellness and health differently than a lot of people. So Dani, we are so honored that you're here with us. Thank you. Dani Williamson I'm honored to be here. Thank you for the invite. I didn't know you were doing things. Of course, usually Thursday at noon, I'm working right seeing patients. So I don't know what's going on during the week out there. Leanne Woehlke Yeah, I mean, I think it's it's such an unprecedented time that it has brought forth some interesting challenges and some interesting opportunities. You know, so, Dani Williamson absolutely, absolutely. So what are we talking about today? I know she had something in mind. She asked me what we're doing, talking about what I mean, I have a whole lot of words. I wasn't voted most talkative, for nothing in high school. But you know, I like to kinda know what we're talking about. And I was like, Oh my gosh, I've got my Max Max. I'm drinking here to try to calm down it so I don't get COVID-19 wake up all the mucus in there, you know. So anyway, what what are we doing? Because I've read? Leanne Woehlke Yeah, you know, I did. You know I've gone to a lot of functional medicine places and researched and studied this stuff for a while. I think there's a lot of things right now that people can do to keep themselves healthy. Dani Williamson You bet. Leanne Woehlke And if you want to share some of that I know you've got your six basic steps too... Dani writing a book that is going to be a best seller undoubtably. Yeah, so I think what five things would you say or six things which if he Dani Williamson Six Steps To Healing Leanne Woehlke Right, so what would you say people need to do during this time to maintain optimal health? Dani Williamson Yes. So what you want to do right with anytime during the year, not just during flu season or COVID-19 season, right? I mean, you want to build your immune system year round, right, Angela, see you shaking your head over there year round. This is something that should have never caught us off guard, immune system wise. I mean, there are things that we couldn't control, but we should 365 days a year work on building your immune system. And that's what we do in this office. Anyway, you know, we deal with a tremendous amount of autoimmune disease patients in here. I don't get, you know, the healthiest of the healthiest patients in here. Many times we get the sickest of the sickest and then we just bring them back. Hopefully, you know, wean them back to health over there. And so we work on building the immune system all year long. I work on six steps with patients that unbeknownst to me, build your whole I mean, when I started this, I know now through the through the decade of practice. But these all these steps build your immune system and the six steps that I work on in this office are number one. First and foremost are eat well sleep well move well poop well decrease stress and then cultivate community. Just like what you guys have done over it at Epic Yoga, right? those six steps eat, sleep, eat well sleep, well move well poop well decrease stress and have community every single bit of that builds your immune system up for helping prepare you for whatever is down the road. So that's where we start. And I mean, I can talk about each of them and what I do if you want, if you want my suggestions on eating well, which I think is the key and many of you don't know my story, I spent 24 years seeing doctors I was I was diagnosed at age 20, with irritable bowel syndrome. I had my first colonoscopy at 20. I'm 54 now and from 20 to 44 I saw three different gastroenterologist three colonoscopies, 3 endoscopie, all kinds of things chronic diarrhea bloating gas gurgling, then I itched four years. It's it's four years, multiple dermatologists, nobody's connecting the health of the gut with the health of the skin, right. And then I was diagnosed with lupus with an autoimmune disease when I was about 35. That was a booger of a diagnosis. And then I got depressed over all of that, and I was put on antidepressants. 24 years of seeing doctors aged 20 to 44. It took 24 years before a doc ever leaned into me and said, Dani, what are you eating? Do you know your diet controls your symptoms, and mine was joint pain, joint pain in the hands and bloating and diarrhea. Do you take digestive enzymes and probiotics and do you know your food sensitivities? And that turned my entire world around 10 years ago, it changed the whole trajectory of my life. It changed the trajectory of my patients lives. Because that's where we start is your gut, right? And if you're eating, packaged, processed, bagged can to fake man made food that was made in a plant and didn't come from a plant or lean fish, chicken, lamb Turkey, it's fake food. If you're opening it up out of a box, a bag, a can, you're creating systemic inflammation in your body and lowering your immune system. It is as simple as that. We've known it for thousands of years I've not recreating the wheel if you know anything about the Bible, you know about the Daniel fast. Daniel knew this 2500 years ago before I ever realized it clearly. And, and even before Hippocrates, right who is the father of medicine, who says all disease begins in the gut who said all disease begins in the gut 2000 years ago. So that's the first thing we do to build your immune system is to get you off of immune killing foods and those foods are gluten, dairy, soy, corn, sugar, eggs and peanuts. Those are the top seven inflammatory foods in the country. We've known that for decades. Not everybody has a peanut sensitivity or corn sensitivity or even the dairy sensitivity, quite frankly, but dairy during this COVID-19 season. You don't want any dairy whatsoever in your diet, no cheese, no yogurt, no sour cream, no butter. This is a respiratory illness. This is a respiratory illness that people drown from they die from their mucus. That's what it is. It's a mucoid disease that you can't get rid of the mucus. Essentially the reason people are dying from this even on a respirator, is you're drowning to death. What is dairy? Thick, gunky cow snot That's all it is. It is nothing but thick guncky cow snot Annette, I say... if you are eating cheese and I was at Whole Foods, I have not been the grocery in over a week until today and I walked by the cow snot the cow puss counter today. And people are standing over there and I'm thinking, of course they don't want me around grocery stores because I just want to take things out of people's hands. But dairy, no dairy whatsoever for sure right now until we get over this because if you get sick, we need to have maximum lung capacity. Right? So respiratory illnesses, things like asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, even, you know, sinus infections. Those are all things you would always cut dairy out for, not just during this season, but always dairy thick and it's gunky, and it's one of the big ones gluten, dairy, sugar, gluten, dairy, sugar, those are the top three white devils, I'm telling you right now, and they are creating inflammation in your body. And if you're eating those, you're eating a lot, you're very inflamed systemically. So eating well is a big one is a very big one for me, you know, you want to get your body alkaline to build your immune system up, you know, an alkaline environment, this virus doesn't live well in an alkaline environment. So it'll die to that. It's, well just kills it. Basically it does, but what are alkaline foods? How are you going to get yourself more alkaline you're shooting for a pH of around seven. Now I don't do pH strips. I don't do urine strips or any of that, but you can and seven is going to be about optimal. Things, foods that are going to make your body more alkaline and less acidic are going to be things like cruciferous vegetables, right broccoli, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, brussel sprouts, those things are very alkaline and they're also loaded with tons of antioxidants. So antioxidants are what mop up all the free radicals in your body okay and help you function better. That's one of the reasons vitamin C is such a big deal for this virus right now you know the CDC is saying we don't have a treatment really for it yet confirmed that vitamin C is one of the one of the things that they've confirmed does help with this once you get this virus we use a ton of it though to help build our immune system up and mop up free radicals right. One ingredient foods you want to decrease inflammation in your body by eating one ingredient foods. What does that mean? You're cooking from... I don't have any food in here. You're cooking cabbage, cauliflower, kale. Those are one ingredient foods right? You go to the grocery you pick up spinach and parsnips and turnips and then you're cooking those things together. Again, if it's in a box, a bag a can. It's creating inflammation. Just creating inflammation. During this time for short, you need to start cooking at home and you need to start experimenting. Angela who's on here says, you know, cooking is self care. That's one of her things and it is true. You know, I'm single, my kids are grown and all that. And I cook from home all the stinking time. one ingredient foods. Just popping food together, right? olive oil, salt and pepper. There's not much that that won't make taste amazing. Am I right, Angela? Yes, yes. Annette, I am. So I mean, you got to start cooking. If you are visualizing your cabinets, if you open your cabinets if we went to your kitchen right now and opened up the refrigerator, the freezer the cupboards. If there's a lot of boxes, bags, cans, tubes, rolls, fake manmade food in there, you're creating systemic inflammation and you are damping, dampening your immune system. So we got to start eating real food. It's key, just real food shop around the edges. The Farmers Market open tomorrow. If you live in Franklin, they actually are open tomorrow from 9AM to 12PM. That's the best place in my opinion to get your food. And we need to start teaching our kids to cook. Am I right, Angela? That's exactly right. Get those kids in the kitchen Yes, Leanne? Leanne Woehlke Yes, yeah, sure. Absolutely. Dani Williamson All right, eat well, you just got to eat real food. It's just got to be real food. It's as simple as that. If those of you that follow me on Facebook and Instagram, I got my very first box yesterday of Misfits. Did anybody see that? Did anybody see my post last night? Okay of Misfits Food (Misfits Marketplace) $31. Hey, Leanne, did you get the link to work? Leanne Woehlke I don't know yet. I ordered it. And then it didn't look like the promo code went through. But I sent them a message so I'll check in. I'm sure they'll get back to me later today. Dani Williamson I got messages all night that people had ordered to Misfits. What it is. It's ugly, ugly vegetables and fruits that can't make it to the grocery store. Right, and so they're so they're all organic, non GMO. And so I got a 21 pound box of organic non GMO fruits and vegetables yesterday for $31 that came in overnight and in it was still cold. Unbelievable. That's a great way I'd never cooked sunchokes those were in it last night I cooked sunchokes last night. I mean there's a huge parsnip, there are all kinds of things. You can just look at it online, if you want. It was it was amazing. And I highly, highly recommend something like that. If you're not open to, or if you can't get to the grocery or if you live in a food desert. Okay, anything that's going to decrease inflammation, food wise, anti inflammatory foods, the top ones gluten, dairy, sugar, soy, corn, eggs, and peanuts. Eggs are very inflammatory to a lot of people. If you don't believe me, try cutting them out for 21 days and see what you're thinking. formation go down, and then challenge it back in and see what happens. But not everybody again has an egg sensitivity. Eat well, you have to sleep well. If you want to build your immune system up, your body heals when you sleep. If you can't sleep, you can't heal. It's as simple as that. And if you sleep well, you have less inflammation in your body. If you have a bedroom full of electromagnetic fields in there, your cell phone is plugged in by your bed. It's not on airplane mode and it's charging. It's creating tremendous amount of electromagnetic fields and disrupting your brainwaves and your circadian rhythm. This right here (holds up cell phone) is nothing but a lithium battery. And that's all it is. And if it is anywhere near your head, it's creating inflammation and we know brain cancers are going through the roof because of phones on your head. Minimum six feet away. Your bedroom has got to be a sanctuary. No wireless router. No Computer no TV, the bedroom is for sleep and sex only. That's all you need to be doing in it. If you're not doing those two things, get out of it. All right. And you should be having a lot of sex during this time, by the way, too. Now, that's not official on decreasing inflammation, but why not? Heck, if we're stuck at home, somebody needs to be having sex. I don't have anything but an English bulldog at my house. So there's nobody, so this is a good time to reconnect with your partner, by the way, for sure. But you got to sleep well, if you're not sleeping, you've got to do something to sleep whether it's melatonin, which actually melatonin, the research shows decreases inflammation in your body, melatonin or some magnesium or some Gabba or CBD oil, but you've got to get to sleep and maybe you need bioidentical hormones. I don't know. But sleeping, sleeping, sleeping decreases inflammation and you have to stay off of this phone and that computer before bedtime, at least an hour. And I know it's hard right now we're all on there. Everybody's on there, but that's a huge one for decreasing inflammation. Eat well sleep well move. Well, you got to move your body and I can tell by the way everybody is dressed, pretty much, people are moving their bodies. And it's important. You know, I'm a big believer, Dr. Daniel Ahmen, Who's a world famous neurologist, he says, you know, for the very least walk like your late 45 minutes, four days a week. Bust it 45 minutes, four days a week. You know, get your heart rate up. I'm a big believer in you know, an hour if you could get an hour. What do you think Leanne? Of moderate exercise sweat sweating? Leanne Woehlke Yeah, I mean, I think an hour is is great, at least three times a week. Ideally five. Dani Williamson Yes, that's exactly right. We know what the research shows on decreasing inflammation and building your immune system up in your body. And just a side note, if anybody's having a period still, the more you exercise, the better your cramps get. I mean it's the research shows that and they do. Of course you also have to take out the toxic tampons and pads right if you're using traditional always get to this I this is maddening to me that I put roundup in my vagina for 30 years and nobody ever told me about it. I had no clue. I was putting weed killer and bleach in my vagina every single time I had a period. Cotton is the number one most toxic crop in the United States. It has more roundup on it than any other crop and then they take that Roundup Ready cotton and bleach it with Clorox bleach and then we put it in our vagina every single month. If you have painful periods, infertility, PCOS, endometriosis, huge heavy clots and bleeding. You need to switch over to either a menstrual cup or organic pads or tampons today, it's huge. Just doing that one thing makes such a big difference in your inflammation in your body. I don't know I never had bad cramps and all but I mean I was furious. I'm a nurse midwife. I was never told during nurse midwifery school that we were killing ourselves and our female organs every single month by doing that, it's maddening to me, but move Well, you've got to move your body you got to sweat like right before this. I just did 10 minutes just real fast. I walked as fast as I could 10 minutes outside, just to kind of get my heart rate up a little bit. But the more you exercise, the inflammation goes down. Unless you're very, very sick and you have some sort of horrible, very hard chronic disease. We know that you've got to honor your body. If you feel worse after you exercise, and you have to go to bed and you're exhausted. Then you've got the wrong kind of exercise going on there. You need to dampen it down. If you're a crossfitter. And you feel good initially and you've got a whole lot of endorphins going, but you got to go to bed for two hours. That's wrong, then you need to transition over something like yoga, right? Pilates, deep breathing, things like that nobody wants to just go from CrossFit to yoga, they think oh, that's all I let me tell you. I taught yoga for 10 years, my yoga studio in Paducah. 20 years later is still going strong and Paducah, Kentucky, that I started. Yoga has been around for over 2000 years. There's a reason it's still around CrossFit was not around 2000 years ago. I can tell you that. Yeah, look, I think it's a fact, it works. And if you don't think you get a workout from yoga, then you've never been to a right the right yoga class, right? Yeah. So you got to move your body right. You got to eat well, sleep well move well, anything you can all day long.... won't you look at those flabby arms Good Lord, that's ugly. But anything you can do last night I was cooking I had a big old pot of chicken and dumplings. And I took my Le Creuset just like this. And I was just doing that just doing my chicken and dumplings. It was very dangerous, but over my head, anything you can do to build it up every day. And then you got to poop Well, well, if you're not pooping, you're loaded with inflammation and your immune system is down. What you eat today should be 100% through your body tomorrow. If you're not pooping daily, if you have a provider who tells you, "Oh, it's okay to poop every three or four days." Would you find a new provider because that is not okay. You are supposed to poop like your dog does. You know your dog will eat and go and poop in about 20 minutes or maybe less. A human body should do that as well. Now everybody's just looking at me like flatline over here. I'm a good pooper. Well, of course I was I had IBS, I mean all the time. Now, it's a normal every, you know, couple times a day. So you have to put just imagine that this is one big tube from the mouth all the way down to the anus, one big tube, you chew it up here, and it comes out there, and it should be out tomorrow. And if you're not a good pooper, then we need to figure out a way number one, you need to take one to Leanne's yoga classes and you need to do a tremendous amount of twists because I'm telling you twist will wring it out, literally, out of you. And you need to drink half your body weight in ounces in water daily. So if you weigh 200 pounds, you need 100 ounces of water, 130 pounds, you need 65 ounces of water. If you drink a lot of coffee, now this is tea but it's got caffeine in it. If you drink tea and coffee then you need to add another eight ounces on that per glass. Okay, so I'm 130 I need 65 ounces plus probably another 16 or 20 ounces a day, you know, so somewhere around 80 or 90 ounces. That's huge to get you pooping, because when you're dehydrated, you can't get you can't just imagine that's all just gunked up in there. So that's going to help build your immune system. If you can get your bowels moving well. You got to move, when you stop moving, you stop moving totally. I mean, it doesn't matter. You can't poop, your body locks up. I mean, movement is key. Movement and exercise are the two key things. I mean, I'm sorry, movement and eating well are the two biggest things that you can do to build your immune system. And then you need to do everything in your power to decrease stress in your life. Lord stress is... my hair's falling out right here in the middle, you know, and I don't feel like nervous stress, but the stress of just trying to figure out how to make my business run during this time and all has been something that apparently hair is turning loose because of it, thank god I've got a lot of hair. But stress will kill you. Stress raises inflammation, stress raises something called cytokines in your body, which those are inflammatory markers, whatever you can do to decrease stress, right? Whether it's you know, if you're a meditator, if you're a prayer, if you, if you're one who digs deep into the Bible, yeah, absolutely your women's groups, things like that, whatever you can do to decrease stress. And I tell patients, and this is year round, not just now, if you're in a bad marriage, then you need to get that figured out. If you're in something really horrible at work, it's a bad situation, then leave the job. I mean, quit your job, find a new job, nothing is worth dying over. I can tell you that. And the number one killer for women is heart disease. Number one. The number one killer is heart disease, and the number one time for a heart attack is Monday morning at nine o'clock. Excuse me? What's that? We go to work Monday morning. So do whatever you can do to decrease stress, stress builds inflammation, this is year round. And then cultivate community. Community is huge. In fact, probably community is up there with eating well and and moving your body. The people who live the longest in this world, they eat a Mediterranean lifestyle. Okay, which is huge. Those are the people in the Blue Zones. For the most part, the people who live that, you know, they're centenarians. They live past 100 they eat a Mediterranean lifestyle. If anybody's ever been to Greece, or Italy or Spain, what do they do at meal, meal time? They gather and community they're not eating solo, very often, but it is Angela, am I correct? It's a huge community event a meal is you've got to have community whether it's your yoga community like this, whether it's your Bible study your Sunday school class, your ... you know, whatever whatever it is you do you volunteer somewhere, community is key. We are the loneliest society we've ever had in the history of the world. And we have two extremes on the loneliness, the teenagers, the teenagers are really lonely. And the research shows, you know, they are right here on this phone, non stop, and they're looking at things that are not real on Facebook and Instagram and things like that. They're lonely, they're isolated, and then you're seniors, they're extremely lonely. Your teenagers and your seniors and the seniors have a very, very high suicide rate, actually aged 10 to 24 is the fastest growing suicide rate in the United States age 10 to 24, that's huge. So cultivating community is a big big deal and when you're laughing when you're having fun when you're gathering and you're acting crazy whatever it is you're doing you're decreasing inflammation in your body it's it's big it's it's important eat well sleep well move well poop, well decrease stress have community. I think those are huge, huge things year around that we can do to build our immune system up. And those are just like practical things to build your immune system of. I mean, I have a whole immune boosting protocol that I like, if you're interested. Leanne Woehlke So what kind of things I know. I have flown a fair amount this year and yeah, into your office multiple times to go get all the things and will you talk a little bit about your immune boosting protocol because I've got all the sprays and the Dani Williamson Yes. Leanne Woehlke I show up with a whole bag of potions on the plane. Dani Williamson That you remember those? Oh, there it is right there. It was probably what two months ago before we even heard of Coronavirus. I had four flights for conferences to go to in four and a half weeks and I bought a in 95 respirator mask from Vogmask and I shared it on Facebook and Everybody thought I'd lost my mind. I've never flown with a mask in my life but I knew it was flu season didn't even know about Coronavirus and I knew I had to be well for the final flight which was the biggest Conference of the year that I go to a functional medicine conference. So I started spraying everything in my nose and my throat and I had my mask on and all basic stuff now mask they say the mask really does not help much for the for Coronavirus at all you know because it can get your eyes and your ears and things like that. So it's apparently not super protected for that. Basic stuff that I do all year long... Vitamin C, number one. Is everybody taking vitamin C? It's the biggest, you bet. It's the biggest daily all year long. Take a minimum of 2000 milligrams a day. Okay 2000. So that's four capsules for me and I take two capsules twice a day. Now here's the thing about vitamin C for those of you that don't poop, this is the best. Now it doesn't have to be my vitamin C here at the office. It can be any, at this point, right now because we have a national shortage of vitamin C, just get vitamin C in your body. I mean, there are different forms that I think are better than others. But right now just get some C. Don't worry about whose it is or what it is. Vitamin C will help you poop. And the beauty of this is you take it until bowel tolerance you can't overdose on vitamin C. It's a water soluble supplement meaning it's a water soluble vitamin, Meaning you're not going to overdose on it like you could vitamin D and A and E and K and iron. C, you'll just go until your body doesn't need it anymore. And when you start to have loose stools just back off about 500 milligrams, alright, so it depends on what does, you can play around with it. But I have patients who take 9000 milligrams a day of vitamin C and they don't have diarrhea. Well, what that tells me is they're their adrenals are really stressed. Then because vitamin C is stored in our adrenal glands. We're the only mammals who do not make vitamin C, but we store it right back here in the back on top of our kidneys in our little video, adrenal glands like that. And the more vitamin C you tolerate without diarrhea, that tells me that you need some adrenal support to boost your adrenals up and of course adrenals get really taxed during a season like this when we're under stress. So you want to to support your adrenals gently all year long, I do. Vitamin C, big one for building your immune system. Remember this is an antioxidant. So it mops up all the free radicals in your body. Some sort of what I recommend is Biocidin. And if you're looking at people's protocols online and all the webinars that are up there, Biocidin and Colloidal Silver are the two, and vitamin C are probably the three, that are staples on every single functional medicine doctor and providers protocol. This has been in my toolbox for probably three or four years and it should have been in there for the last 20 years. Biocidin is a company that makes only herbal phenomenal concoctions. Biocidin is an anti viral which this is a virus, not a bacteria, remember viruses and bacterias act differently in your body. Viruses are teeny tiny little particles bacterial cells Bigger bacterias bigger ones. This kills it. This is a virus antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal and it's just just like that spray at the back of the throat three or four sprays two or three times a day. That's a big one that I use specially if I'm traveling but right now and then Colloidal silver. Those are the, this Colloidal silver, Has anybody ever used Colloidal Silver ever? Okay, Colloidal Silver has been around again for eons and eons and eons. It's an antifungal antibacterial, antiviral. My office manager has used this spray right here in your nose for probably two years. I've never used it until I got off on my big four flights and four weeks kind of thing. We'll come to find out, it kills bar, it's a viral killer. So it's one of the big protocols that they have out there. They're for this COVID-19 specifically, it's unfortunate, it's on backorder. Nationwide, I mean in the spray bottle, because guess what, this is made in China. The top part is not the Colloidal Silver This is so you can just get your Colloidal silver and put it in a spray bottle and spray it up your nose, we have the Colloidal silver, we just don't have the sprays anymore, that those are three things that are huge to build your immune system up and then D3. Does everybody take vitamin D3? Leanne Woehlke Yeah, Dani Williamson It's a big one. And I don't test one patient, as a nurse practitione truly, who's not taking D3, who has a normal vitamin D3, we don't make it naturally. So all of you that are sitting outside watching this, that is the perfect thing. You really need to have your clothes off though. What the research shows is that you have to be out in the sun a minimum of 45 minutes It's seven days a week with no clothes on, or very little clothing on in order to really, really, really metabolize the D3. Well who the heck can do that? I mean, the neighborhood associations, although it looks like y'all kind of live in the woods, several of you, so maybe you could do that. But my neighborhood, they'd have a heart attack, stuff like that. So you got to get out, you got to get some sun but you need to take vitamin D3 for at least 5000 international units a day. 5000 is a good little basic, but this is not something you want to take long term without having your healthcare provider check your levels, because you can get too much D3, okay, but it's a big one for your immune system. For sure. And then I'm sure many of you use essential oils. Okay, so I'm a Young Living girl, my office managers is a doTERRA. Doesn't matter to me. I don't care. I use thieves she uses onguard. So this office smells like a combination of Young Living and doTERRA all the time because I'm spraying thieves everywhere she spraying onguard. I don't care, but thieves are onguard is one of the greatest antivirals and I put it in my I put thieves in my water every day all year long. And I just drink it like this. And if I'm sick or think I'm going to get sick you can put your onguard you know this, if you're oil people on the bottom of your feet and put your socks on and sleep and then I do it during the day sometimes as well. Those are like the real basics. Are you all taking supplements? Okay, good. Vitamin C, Biocidin, that's in the throat because remember, this is a respiratory illness. We're talking build your immune system up your round, but also COVID-19. This is a respiratory illness and what it does is it attacks the lungs, right? But what it does that by making the mucus thicker and thicker and thicker and we can't break it down and that's where we are literally drowning. The patients are in their mucus and so anything you can do to decrease the mucus in there things like the colloidal silver and the Argentine 23 anything that you can get your throat, gargling every day drinking hot liquids so we know if we will drink hot lemon water, hot tea, hot coffee, just hot water all day. hot apple cider vinegar. I don't know I couldn't do that. But anything hot all day long to keep the mucus secretions broken down. That's easy, and that's free. If you didn't have a penny. You could just heat up hot water and drink it all day to send the mucus secretions, and gargling. If you have a neti pot, use your neti pot. They drive me crazy, I can't do it. I try. I've had one for 15 years and I just don't care for it. I'd rather shoot colloidal silver in my nose. I actually saw one of the functional medicine providers the other day said Afrin which is interesting because we don't recommend Afrin, but Afrin kills everything. Clearly. It burns like hell when you put it in your nose. Have you ever sprayed Afrin in your nose? I mean there's nothing left in there. Once you do it. I did not have Afrin. I went out and bought some Afrin when I saw Dr. Bergsten talk about it and she said you know if you just spray a spray a day, she doesn't have any... This is anecdotal, so we don't have like randomized trials on this, but it makes perfect sense because it opens up those passages in there and it cleans out everything so possibly don't go out telling everybody I'm saying to use Afrin because I don't recommend Afrin at all, but it's just like yesterday me coloring my own hair. I've never done that in my life. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Do what you can do, Lord, oh that was terrible. Another thing you need to do, and I hope you all are doing this if you've been in public get your clothes off the second you get to the house immediately take your clothes off at the door it lives on your clothes, it lives in your hair. This is the first time that I have had my hair down in probably two weeks and those of you that are on our Facebook group and Instagram I have had this hair pulled back as tight as I could for two weeks and tucked up and all of that because it lives in all of this. And it lives for hours and hours. It lives on metal surfaces for nine hours. At least, nine hours. We know that so clean all that thieves all that onguard hydrogen peroxide we know breaks down viruses. I made a delivery to Health and Wellness this morning and stood, that's a pharmacy in Nashville compounding pharmacists, Dr. Mark Binkley came out and we were like you know, 10 feet apart Mark said that he got an order he got a prescription called in yesterday from a functional medicine provider in California for him for a patient. He was nebulizing medical grade hydrogen peroxide nebulizing just like this for the patient to help prevent this because hydrogen peroxide kills everything. So the first time he said that prescription I said wow, I don't know what we can do with hydrogen peroxide but if you clean with it, it kills pretty much everything. We use it in the hospitals and stuff for everything. So I would be getting some hydrogen peroxide cleaner as well are buying cheapo hydrogen peroxide and cleaning with it as well. Of course don't smoke ever good lord. This is a respiratory disease. Don't smoke if you're smoking or Juleing I'm sure all y'all got your Jules right out there, y'all. You're just waiting to get shut up. So I can vape right now, don't do it. Don't do it. It's terrible for your lungs right? And again if symptoms start so what's the very first symptom of this disease for most people is a glass throat just like glass shards in the throat is what they're saying just It hurts so bad and then a fever. Of course your fever is your body's is your body telling you? Oh gosh, there's a virus it's in here. The body attacks a virus and a bacterial infection the same way by creating a fever right and so fever is a good thing, but that should be your first sign is a fever and a scratchy throat and if that happens for darn sure you start getting all your hot stuff. You know drinking it and cutting out dairy 100% Leanne Woehlke Dani, what is, there's that other spray that you guys have? That tastes like melted vanilla ice cream? Dani Williamson Yes. ImmunoPRP. It's in the supplement store right now. I totally forgot. That's my other one. I forgot to bring it I was looking here thinking nothing is missing. But because I have three sprays, I have a no spray and two throats for ice. And the second throat spray is colostrum liquid colostrum. For those of you that breastfed your babies, you know, that is the liquid gold, right? That's what comes out of the breast, the first two three days before the actual milk comes in. And that's what seals the immune system for the baby. It starts to seal the immune system for the baby and it helps heal the gut lining. We have organic grass fed cows from Bolivia or Argentina or something wherever they're less stressed and they don't have all the stress that American cows do. We have an amazing PRP colostrum spray, and it's phenomenal for your immune system. And we've got the little bottles in stock right now. The big ones are on backorder they should be here next week, but that the little one will be enough to get you hrough this season. Yeah, that stuff's good. And it tastes like a vanilla milkshake, or melted vanilla ice cream or something. Yeah. Leanne Woehlke My daughter was giving that to her friends. They came over and she was telling them that I had, some magic thing against COVID-19. And so she was dosing them all up on everything. And giving them that she's like, it tastes just like vanilla ice cream. It's perfect... here. Dani Williamson Yes, it's good. It's good for your immune system. Yes. Leanne Woehlke What about oregano oil.? Dani Williamson Oregano is phenomenal. That's in our wellness formula that we use and oregano is. So if you're if you've got essential oils, if you're an oil person, phenomenal, get it on the bottom of your feet, put it in your water with your thieves or your doTERRA and drink it. You can put it in your tea even. It doesn't taste good though. Most people don't ever swallow oregano ,one time. One time. They don't ever do it again. Yeah, it's in. We use it in any of your really, really good immune building formulas will always have things like oregano. echinacea, elderberry, olive leaf extract. Now I have a whole protocol. Those of you that know me know, but I was trying to just dumb it down enough to where people wouldn't get dumb it down. But you know what I mean, make it to where you could do three or four things that would really boost your immune system, olive leaf, oregano and echinacea are three incredible things to boost your immune system. Leanne Woehlke I had heard somewhere and I don't recall where, that elderberries actually contraindicated for... Dani Williamson I knew you were gonna say that. Yeah, it's not. It's not, okay so here's the thing, and I was so glad I listened to a zoom call last, two nights ago, of four different five different functional medicine providers. And that question came up, and I was glad to hear them all say what I thought. The benefits far outweigh the risks on elderberry. Far outweigh. So what the the people are saying and we don't have solid evidence on elderberry increasing aside a king storm, and that's what we were talking about earlier is increasing your cytokines that increases inflammation in your body. One tablespoon of elderberry a day is going to have far more benefits than it is risk. So I wouldn't worry about if you've got a good quality elderberry. I would take my elderberry. Leanne Woehlke Great. And you talked about increasing alkalinity in the body. And what do you think about wheatgrass to help increase alkalinity? Dani Williamson Yeah, yeah, it's a green. I love it. Yeah, I don't drink a lot of wheatgrass. But yes, I have no problem. Do you make your Do you do it yourself? Leanne Woehlke I cheat a little bit. There's a company called Dynamic Greens in Canada and they grow it in the ground. So the problem with the trays is a lot of times the trays end up with mold. Dani Williamson Yes. Leanne Woehlke And so if you buy it at a wheat at a juice bar, a lot of times it has almost like a bitter funky taste. Yes, like stale, but dynamic greens. they ship it to you on dry ice or in ice packs. It's in these plastic like containers, almost like a Ziploc bag that's perforated and so it's like little ice cubes. So I take them, break them up, put them in the freezer, and then take out two to six depending on what I want. Reconstitute it with a little bit of water and put it in a mason jar and shake it up. And then just drink it that way. Dani Williamson And it tastes good? Leanne Woehlke It does. Does I'll bring you some. Dani Williamson Any wheat grass I've ever had. I've always had that bitter taste in it and I don't know why people love this. But you think, you know, oh, it's good for you. But you know you got it's got to be organic. We it cannot be wheatgrass, it like sprayed with glyphosate, nothing they you know, these green juices I make a ton of drink. I just drink my green juice this morning from home. But man, you can't be using, you know, glyphosate Roundup Ready vegetables and greens to make your green juice. Just can't I mean, it's glyphosate is the is the devil in my opinion? Leanne Woehlke Yeah. Right. I think that's, that's a big thing is a lot of times too is people if they buy conventional produce thinking I'm gonna make this great green juice. They don't know that there's still residue on the outside or wax or whatever it is, and then they juice it that and they're getting all of that. Dani Williamson That's right. And for those of you that don't know about the Dirty Dozen and the clean 15 that is hands down from the Environmental Working Group, the ewg.org so it's www.ewg.org Environmental Working. group.org is the leader in fighting for you all and all of us on clean things. They put up Every single year in April so it'll be out next month, the Dirty Dozen and the clean 15 The Dirty Dozen are the top 12 most toxic, Roundup Ready pesticide laden foods in the United States, the clean 15 or the cleanest 15 that dude that are not organic, that have less chemicals on them. And they have a free app on your phone called the Dirty Dozen and you just pop it on your phone if you forget. And you pull it up when you're at the grocery, what are the top 12 now I don't have them off the top of my head memorize but strawberries are number one most toxic, most toxic strawberries, spinach, apples grapes. Now what do we feed our kids strawberry apples, grapes, right spinach potatoes, they're under the ground. They're horrible. They're just soaked up with Roundup, all down in there. Red peppers, like as in bell peppers, red, green, yellow, those peppers. peaches. What else is on there? cherries? What else is on there? Anything with a soft skin. Anything with a delicate What you say celery? Celery? Yes Right celery and look at all these people on there jealous jelly celery juicing kicks right now they're all juicing celery juice and they're out there just put nothing but but roundup and pesticides in their body. Those are the Dirty Dozen, the Clean 15 are all the thicker skin things things like avocados, bananas, papayas, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts and cabbage are all on there. And just like humans, bugs don't eat those foods as much as humans. I mean as much as right they don't they rather eat a peach any day over a head of cabbage. So they have way less pesticides on them. So that is so important. And I wish I would have known that when I was raising my kids. I wish I'd have known about I wish I'd known about I wish I knew the word do I say when my kids were born 24... 23... 24 years ago, I didn't know better. Leanne Woehlke One of the things that we found out when my husband had cancer is we had an apple farmer. And he wasn't organic. But I asked him a lot of questions. And what he said is, you need to understand that every time I have to spray something, it costs me money. So I try to do all of the natural things I can as possible, and that there's a large cost associated with being a certified organic farm. And if there's a non organic farm within a certain radius, they can't get that designation. Dani Williamson That's probably true. Yeah, there's a huge cost associated with that, I think at the Franklin Farmers Market, and I may be wrong about this. There's only two that are certified organic. They have the green seal, that would be Devlin Farms and bloom Bloomsbury Farm. Now I may be wrong. And so if I'm, if I am, correct me on that, the rest of them use organic practices, right, but they are but just not certified like Kirkview. I buy a lot of things from Kirkview and they they do they use organic practices, but they're not technically organic. I mean, it's $100,000 I don't know it's outrageous to be certified organic. They don't make it easy for us to eat well, and that's why I love that misfit box I got yesterday it's $31 of organic and non GMO foods. And it's huge. I mean, you could that cost me $60 easy at Whole Foods. What I got yesterday. Leanne Woehlke Is that the big box or the smaller box, Dani Williamson the big box. because I split it with Jackson, my son Ella works at Whole Foods. So she gets her stuff at a discount so I split it with Jackson, but um, yeah, so building up your immune system, what else what I mean? So here's the thing, are you all I mean, I don't know if y'all are off work right now or if you don't work generally during the day, you know, if you have an outside job outside the home, I think there are lots of great things are going to come from this and i think that you know This is my belief. And I know Angela is a believer but I, I sent out a newsletter this week and I was expecting to get some blowback on this. What what, because I get some nasty messages sometimes when I say things. I think that this is a huge wake up call for all of us worldwide. And I think God gets your attention one way or the other, you know, and when you're not when we're not listening, when we're not, when we're going around wrong path. I know in my PR, I can only speak from personal experience, he will knock you to the ground to get your attention because I'm horrible at not listening to God. Well, I'm better now because I've gotten knocked down way too many times. But I'm just telling you, he's trying to get our attention and he is and we need to right the ship that we have, as in decreasing stress, you know, not overextending ourselves. I mean, we are so over committed. It's not even funny. And I think this is a great time to be able to pull back drum down on your life and just say, holy cow, what can I eliminate, automate and delegate out of my life, you know, and set some margin in my life, because we don't have any margin. And we're proving that now, as people are panicking, and anxiety attacks and all these things. I mean, we're so used to being busy. Nobody should. While I know I'm not used to being able to take an hour off in the middle of the day and do something like this. And it's ramping up a lot of anxiety. I think that during this time, we need to reevaluate a whole lot of things. And I think we also need to be cleaning our house and doing the things that we know are in all that we don't want to do. But, you know, really re evaluating and as my friend Michael Hyatt tells me all the time, he's like, Dani, where's the margin in your life? Where's the margin? You know, and if we don't have any margin, You just don't have any life and when things go sideways, man, you're just turned upside down. And now am I right? Leanne Woehlke Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, absolutely. So I, we have a, we have a couple questions that people are curious about. So someone had a question about vitamin C. They're somebody who has rheumatoid arthritis and the rheumatologist say, not to take it because their method is not about immune system boosting. So what do you think about that? Dani Williamson Well, I have a rheumatologist. I've had lupus since my 30s. And he's never told me anything like that. I mean, I use a lot of vitamin C every day. So I can't speak to what he's saying because I don't you know, I don't know. I don't know what he's exactly referring to. But vitamin C is a naturally occurring vitamin C, you know, I mean, we don't I don't really know what he's saying there. So I again If you're super super high doses maybe he's thinking it can create inflammation because autoimmune disease clearly your immune system is turned on right? It's it's a little more ramped up than the average person there so I don't know what he's speaking to I know for my autoimmune patients because Hashimotos is an autoimmune condition, lupus rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, all of those eczema psoriasis, those are all autoimmune diseases. Vitamin C is usually a piece of an immune protocol. So I don't know that answer. I would take a low dose vitamin C. Somebody sent them about combat combating seasonal allergies in a natural way. You bet. Eliminating the food sensitivities because that's going to decrease inflammation, right? And then things like what are the best natural ways for for allergies cuercitin, vitamin C, stinging nettle. N-acetylcysteine and bromalain, those are five things that's what's in our A and I that we use here. I don't know if any of you have used that supplement that I've used that for 10 years with patients is called "A and I" A and I, and it's that five combinations that is an unbelievable all natural anti-histamine. That's what seasonal allergies are, are a histamine release. So we use that product which has those five in it, you can go find those five separately, and then we also decrease histamine foods in our body and what foods create a lot of histamine, avocados, spinach, tomatoes, vinegars kombucha, kombucha is one of the biggest ones for histamine response in your body. If you think you have histamine issues in your body, stop drinking kombucha if you drink it often, you'll see your histamine symptoms go down. leftovers are one of the highest things in histamine. So patients who have true histamine intolerance, they cannot eat leftovers at all. And that's part of seasonal allergies. So the second they cook their food, they have to freeze their food. Right then cook it, freeze it. You eat your meal, and then you freeze it. Because histamine grows on leftovers. Just a little nugget there. Leanne Woehlke So there's a question about organic food, no bags, cans, boxes. What about frozen veggies if they're organic? Dani Williamson Perfect, perfect. Those are great. Now I don't know what that question is. But how is that not considered dairy? I don't know what that comment was referring to. Unknown That was colostrim. Dani Williamson Yes, right the caesin has been taken out of it. So I have a dairy sensitivity dairy gluten, beans, cashews And oh for crying out loud Eggs Eggs, but I can use the colostrum because the caesin been taken out. Leanne Woehlke And I had when Dani did my food sensitivities the whole thing lit up like Christmas other than gluten cheese and chocolate basically. And I was sat in her office about in tears and said, What am I supposed to do? Dani Williamson It's terrible. For me, the dairy is the hardest thing to cut out gluten was easy. You know, there's no gluten in anything that's fresh food. It's not in it. It's not in one ingredient foods. Gluten was only originally in three things. Three things naturally. Barley, wheat and rye. Those are the three things when God walked that when Jesus walked this earth, three things he had three strands of wheat three As Americans, we have 25,000 strands of hybridized Wheat in the United States 25,000 that have been bred with no pun intended with high gluten content. Gluten means glue. So it sticks everything together makes things fatter, fluffier and softer, which is what it's done to the United States population. It's in everything processed package bag, your salad dressings, your soups, your soy sauce, all of your soy sauce unless it says gluten free has wheat paste in it. So you know you think you're doing great and you're getting an organic soy sauce maybe and then you're loaded up with gluten as well. Yeah, gluten is a huge inflammatory food one of the one of the worst actually, (In response to one of the questions in the chat box... Dani was reading the question clarification out loud) Oh, the rheumatologist they told me Oh, I didn't see this. But they told me to decrease my vitamin C intake since building my immune system and increasing my RA. Okay, so rheumatoid arthritis, attacking my joints. Can you speak to that? I don't know how much you were taking but I'm telling you right now 2000 milligrams a day is usually the standard dose for vitamin C. Where's Valerie, raise your hand. All right, okay. All right. I just don't really have anybody react to 2000 milligrams a day of plain, inexpensive ascorbic acid. That's just the cheap buffered vitamin C. Frozen blueberries. Yeah, if they're organic, absolutely. Blueberries are sprayed a lot because they're sweet and bugs, like a lot of blueberries. I think frozen food is is phenomenal. If you can get because they flash freeze it like that. It's not like it's sitting around forever. And then they freeze it, they pick it and freeze it. So if you get a good company that's organic, I think it's totally fine to have frozen food. Leanne Woehlke Dani, thank you so much. I want to honor your time.
