Follow that intuition of yours and just run with it. Go with it. Don't make it complicating. You know, start with a 10 minute yoga flow. If yoga feels cold to you, maybe it's Pilates. Just start. Lesley Logan 0:15  Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:58  Hey, Be It babe. All right, today's conversation is such a lovely window in taking a long journey and things not happening fast, but still happening for you. We have a really great guest today. Her name is Meghan Pherrill. She is the host of the Balance Your Life podcast, and I really love all the different topics we talked about in today's episode. We talk about being a new mom. But we also talk about, like, the basics of meditation and like, how to get started with that, and how does one go from like, kind of not knowing what to do or what to do with their time and what to be, to having this really beautiful life that's built around all the things that they like and that make them feel like them. So I'm really excited for you to hear this journey. It's authentic and it's not perfect, and it's exactly what we need to be doing when we think about, like, what do we want in our lives? So here is Meghan Pherrill. Lesley Logan 1:49  All right, Be It babe. I'm excited because I've already had a wonderful conversation with our guest today. And I was like, oh, I really want to keep this conversation going, and we are over here on my podcast. So the host of Balance Your Life podcast with Meghan Pherrill as our guest today. Meghan Pherrill, can you tell everyone who you are and what you rock at?Meghan Pherrill 2:07  Yeah, amazing. Thank you for the intro. I feel like I should have you doing all of my intro calls there. My name is Meghan Pherrill. I am the creator and kind of the leading force behind Balance by Meghan. It's an online brand, podcast, I do all the things that's just really meant to help you inspire, be inspired, be empowered, to begin and maintain your own wellness journey so you can be the best version of yourself. I have a top Canadian podcast, which I'm very proud of. And yeah, I do, normally, I do yoga retreats, I do workshops. I've taken a little bit of a hiatus just while I raise my my little kiddo over here. But that's really kind of my jam, my jelly and jam there (inaudible) what I do.Lesley Logan 2:51  Oh, man, that's so fun. Okay, but I have to, I, so I wonder, like, was your life always balanced? Like, did you like, how did, like, did it, was the wellness journey, like, always easy for you? Is it like something that just came easier or is it did it come because, like, like things in your life that you needed to find it. I would love to hear how you kind of got into this. Meghan Pherrill 3:11  Well, it's like I always say when people ask me this, I'm like, how much time do you actually have with this podcast? Because balance was like, the least, it was like, not a vocabulary, a word in my vocabulary, I, wellness, like kind of a joke. I always think it's too like, it's ironic that I teach these things. Because I was that girl who lived on chicken fingers and fries. Corn was like my vegetable of choice, and like you were lucky if you got some carrots into me. Greens were just not happening. I was diagnosed really, really young, with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression and anxiety. I had also been in and out of the hospital since the day I was born with asthma, like just it was not uncommon for me to be hospitalized once a month with, like, severe asthma attacks, where I was on prednisone all the time, puffers all the time. It was just part of my life. And there was a catalyst in my life where I had also been, like, sexually abused by my uncle. This is like taking a dark turn, and always, like, to me, you're such a light and like, so vibrant. This just gets real dark, real fast.Lesley Logan 4:20  It's okay, Meghan, I actually, I'm fine with this and you can continue to go that path, because I actually think that it would be a shame to us, for us to just like, paint the picture that was so easy for you. And I just want to say thank you for already sharing, like the OCD and the depression and the anxiety, because I actually think a lot of people who listen to us have one of those things, and it's held them back in some way. So thank you, and it's okay, we'll, we'll go, we'll, I'm sure we'll get light again so.Meghan Pherrill 4:44  Yeah, it's like, it's one of those things that I think for me, when I look back on my life, I go, I wish there had been somebody like me that I could have been like, there's a beam, there's like, there's a beacon of hope, because I felt so lost, and I just, it got really to the point of like, where I thought, okay, either this is life and this sucks and I'm going to end it, or I do see people around me thriving, like I'm just going to, you know, give it a shot and try to be happy. And there were many things that kind of led down this path. I did, I did cognitive behavioral therapy, which was good. It helped me in the moment. I was put on antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication, again, helped me in the moment, helped stop the suicidal thoughts, but I never really felt alive. I was consistently sleeping. It was not uncommon for me to have two or three hour naps a day to sleep easily 12 hours a day. Like, I don't even know how I did school. I was just constantly sleeping all the time. I was just so zonked from those meds, and somehow I had a boyfriend, and he ended up breaking up with me. And it was for me, I was like that, like, life cannot get any lower than this. This sucks. And it was just like, this wake up call where I thought, Okay, I'm doing all these OCD tendencies to prevent things like this from happening, but it's still happening, even though, like, in hindsight, I'm like, the guy was a total loser. I can't believe I even dated him. Lesley Logan 4:44  Isn't it really funny that we look back at. Meghan Pherrill 5:59  At the time, it was just like devastating, especially since he left me for another girl.Lesley Logan 6:09  Yes, I hear you. I feel like every time, like we like I there's something about like, young love. And you're like, this is the most important thing. And it's like, what was I doing? That guy is an asshole.Meghan Pherrill 6:32  I know. And even now, I'm like, oh my god. But I was like, I'm not doing it anymore. Like I'm not doing my OCD tendencies, which I have been in studies for OCD and they can they are just blown away by the fact that almost overnight, I stopped. I would say 80% of them, I still had a couple that I kept and we're talking like weird things for me, like before I could sit down, comfortable on a couch, I would have to stand up, sit down, stand up, sit down. Six times I would have to check all my books 42 times. Just, like, really weird things for me.Lesley Logan 7:08  Also like, just time consuming and so fascinating that, like, like, you could have this, like, hold on, I was doing all this so bad things wouldn't happen, and bad things happened and, and I do know that, like, there's like, wonderful exposure, scientific studies on some OCD happenings, like, I've heard, like, you go to these places and they help expose you to the thing and like, so, so I do want to highlight, like, there's that, but how amazing that so many of them could just, like, your brain could just go because our brains don't like to be in dissonance, right? So it sounds like your brain was like, hold on, this is, it's not supposed to happen and it happens.Meghan Pherrill 7:40  It doesn't make sense. Yeah, I was doing all these things, these things are still happening. Like, what's the point? Like, light switches on, off, on, off, on, like, and so I just stopped most of them. There were still some up until, like, I would say, even, like, five years ago, like, I was very much like, the two minute brush my teeth person, not a minute before, not a minute after. That one I kept for a little bit, but I'm like, it's good hygiene. But I just, I stopped, and I really thought, okay, I need to really focus on myself, like I put all this energy into this relationship. I changed myself so this person likes me, and it didn't work. So I was I really was going to just start working on myself, and I stayed on my medication for a little while. It wasn't until I met my now husband, but my boyfriend at the time, we had just come back from a vacation, which was a huge deal for me, to be able to go away, mapped most of it, but still, came home, found out my grandfather was dying from lung cancer, and that rocked my world. He got he went downhill really fast. I, like, he was everything to me. I absolutely adored the man. And during that time, during my grieving, I forgot to take some of my medication for a few days, and my boyfriend was like, Brad. Like, you can do this. He, he had been on the medication for like a month, and he was like, f this, this sucks, so I'm gonna be there with you. And I was like, I'm gonna be like a raging bitch, like, sorry. I hope I can swear on this. And he was like, no, like, I've got this. We're gonna do it together. So I don't suggest doing this. My doctor was incredibly disappointed with the. Lesley Logan 9:25  I do think you're supposed to like talk to people, yeah, you're supposed to, like, wean yourself off. And I do. I will say, like, I think that when you need it, medication, for it can be so helpful, because we definitely want to stop any thoughts that could hit in someone's life. But I do agree with you and your boyfriend that I think, long term, we don't have a lot of information that for everybody, it's the best thing. So yes, I'm glad you. I'm glad you're stipulating that doctors wouldn't recommend you, like, have to have a conversation about getting off. Meghan Pherrill 9:54  Yeah, yeah. He was just like, what? I was like, well, it's been like, a month now, so I'm not going back on them. And it was hard, like I went through withdrawal, but I slowly started to feel like myself again. And the biggest thing was I wasn't napping anymore. I had all this time on my hand, and I was like, what do I what do I do with myself now?Lesley Logan 10:16  Now that I don't wait for the sunlight. Meghan Pherrill 10:17  I know, like, what is this, this is sun in the sky that then that's really how I got into yoga, and that's really what started my deep dive into holistic health and wellness. And I'm still like, to this day, like I'm a yogi through and through, I do other things now, like I weight train, I do Pilates, but I'm like, yoga is always my base, and what I come back to, and my parents are like, not necessary, they, they kind of, they're interested in my stuff, but they're like, I don't understand why we can't have the processed hot dog buns for dinner. Like, it's just not really their vibe, but yeah, it's, it's been a really, it's been a long journey, but it's funny, like I was thinking about how my life has changed so much since then, I can't even believe the person I used to be to who I am now.Lesley Logan 11:04  Yeah, I also just want to highlight it sounds like by focusing on taking care of yourself, that's how you, you know, found what you wanted and what you want to do. I think, like, you know, so many people are so focused on the other people around them, making sure that they're happy and they're cared for and they're loved, and then they put themselves last. And it's like, actually, when we kind of get a little self-focused, we actually can truly find ourselves in a way that we can be the best person for the people that are in our lives. Like, even if your parents don't like that you won't eat the hot dog bun, they have more of you now than when, when, you weren't focusing on yourself.Meghan Pherrill 11:42  Yeah, yeah, it was and it doesn't have to be a lot like it was just very much. I'd come home from work and Brad would know I'm doing a little bit of yoga. It was like 20 or 30 minutes, but that was my time for myself. And I mean, people could just see the difference in the change in me, and they were like, go, go ahead. Like, go do what needs to be done. So yeah, that's, that's kind of how I found myself in this position.Lesley Logan 12:07  Yeah, okay, so can we talk a little about, like, the timeline of the journey? Because obviously, like, we heard about the month of of the antidepressant release. But like, how long did it take you to get a yoga practice and then also, then discover that you wanted to teach it, and then get to where you are, like, we're talking years, we're talking months, you know, like, I've got these overachiever perfectionists who are listening like, okay, so I just need to, like, do this for a few days, and then I'm gonna be good. Like, what? What's the what was the the timeline? Meghan Pherrill 12:35  Yeah, it was, I see this it was a long journey, not to be discouraging, but to know like that for me, that was my my truth. I started off simply with 20 minutes of yoga. I think I committed to, like, three, maybe four. I think it was just three days a week. I was like, This is it. This is all I'm gonna do, you know, just to see how does it make me feel.Lesley Logan 12:59  I actually love that. Thank you for saying it was long. And thank you, it shouldn't be discouragement. It's just honest. Like, I think a lot of times, you know, the the days are, the days are long, but the years are short. And, like, if, I can't believe I've been doing Pilates for 20 years, like, I was like, whoa, I've been doing this for, I've been out of college for 20 years, you know, like, because it feels like just yesterday, I was like, doing X, Y and Z, and I'm working so hard on things, it's like, oh no, actually, I've achieved a ton. And it did take a long time to get that runway going, but it's just an amazing thing that, like, once you set the time aside, you're doing three days a week, you're doing 20 minutes at a time, and then it gets better, and people give you more time, and then you get more time, like it compounds, and then all of a sudden, it's like, things happen a little bit faster in the wellness journey, you know, because you've built a strong foundation.Meghan Pherrill 13:45  Yes, yeah. And it's funny, because people will often look at me now and and see everything that I do. I do, like holistic health, I do, quote unquote, biohacks, like cold plunging. We were talking about that in my podcast. That didn't happen month three or over six, like, that was year how long have we been doing that? Like, year seven, I got into that stuff. Like, it was really, really slow. I even I did yoga for like, five years before I even tried a different type of exercise, like, and it was just natural to me to go, okay, like, I feel like I'm ready for the next level of whatever, Pilates, weight training, it was Pilates next. But even, like my food journey, even now I'm really religious about eating really clean, nourishing myself, it started off super basic. Was like, can I just get more vegetables into my diet? That was it. I wasn't looking like, did not drop the whole wheat bread at first. Was still probably eating chicken nuggets, but it was like, okay, can I just introduce a couple new vegetables into my diet, and from there we'll go, go forward like, I I'm sure you see this too. Sometimes people message me and they're like, these vegetables are gonna kill me. Spinach is anti nutrient. I'm gonna die if I eat it, and it's like, no wonder people feel so overwhelmed to start anything you can read or look at anybody and see, oh, eat spinach. It's a superpower. Eat spinach and die the next day. Like it's, I think it can be overwhelming.Lesley Logan 15:14  I'm like, am I hearing this for the first time? Because I really like a spinach. I'm going to be really honest. I like a spinach. I like a mixed green, I don't, do not, I don't like a romaine. I'm not gonna do an iceberg, like, but like, I, it's true. Like, I think where people get confused is that there's so many people out there with that are mixing the messaging and also not good information sometimes, you know, like, you know where we live in the States, I got served something the other day, and on my socials, and I'm like, I'm gonna report this, because this is not according to science. Like, we actually do have science guys, it does work. And there is some incredible now, four different bodies, there's different things. And, like, by the way, there's a great book that's so old, but it's called the Plant Paradox. And if you really want to understand plants, it's such it's so informative. Like, if you take one thing away, it's like, oh, if plants grow in rows, they have more poison to them, so you might have to cook them or do different things your body can digest them, versus the plants that like to their babies fly and be free. They're less poisonous. You can eat them however you want, versus if you're from the southern hemisphere versus European descent, like, there's different plants and we digest them differently. And I think what is the problem is, is that so many people are outsourcing how something feels in their body to someone else's opinion, versus like, well, if, if you eat the spinach and you feel really good, is it is it bad for you? Meghan Pherrill 16:38  I just like, I that was, I just finished that book two, two or three books ago. And same thing, I was like, all of this makes so much sense. You know, plants are living organisms. Of course, they have things that deter us from eating it. But I'm sure as I'm like, reading it too, I'm like, I also feel like this guy, like, do you go out for food? Like, you know I would eat something that makes me feel sick, but at the same time, like some of these people, they're like, Ooh, I like, yes, there's no place right for consuming seed oils on a daily basis. But if I'm in a restaurant and they're like, sorry, this is how we make our things, and I'm surrounded by friends and family, I'm gonna ask if they can do something different. But if they're like, we absolutely can't. Like, this is how it is. How it is. It's okay, you know, like, putting more stress on my body about eating that is going to cause more damage than just enjoying myself once in a while, like that, and just living your life.Lesley Logan 17:34  I also think that's the balance, right? Like, you know? I think it's a little like, to me, that perfectionism, that control of like, it has to be a certain way when I go out, no, I'm going out, it's like I'm going to someone else's kitchen, and this is how they prepared it. And if I don't like that, I can not go. I can ask people, what's the after dinner party look like? I can do my research beforehand. Like, because I've had food sensitivities, I am used to looking at the menus ahead of time, doing my research ahead of time, so when I'm there, I can go, I'll take this thing. I'll take this thing, because what I don't want is the whole dinner to be about what I can and can't or won't eat, because then I'm not actually getting to know the people I'm with. I'm busy like talking about, like, why you shouldn't have seed oils. I don't want to be that person. That's not who I wanna be at the dinner table. It's not my thing. And so, like, I think for I think people do have to have some sort of balance. And when I was on an elimination diet years ago, trying to figure out what's wrong with my stomach, I went to a ton of places, and I said, oh, what time is dinner? I'll meet you guys for dessert. And then I wouldn't, I would have tea, because every restaurant has tea, right? And so you can do different things to, like, still be part of society. I think that's the balance part of it. And then understanding, like, you know, a little bit of something isn't going to kill you unless it's going to kill you. Like, unless you're allergic to shellfish, like that will kill you. But if you're just one of those, like, sensitive people, like, either choose to to not do it or just do it and like, be kind to yourself the next day when you're a little more inflamed, you know. Just know that's gonna happen. Meghan Pherrill 19:03  Yeah, I couldn't agree more, yeah. My son has a bunch of food allergies, so I've really opened my eyes up to that. And sometimes it's simply like, I will message people and say, just so you know, I'm calling the restaurant to see if I can bring some food for my for my son, or at the time, like I'm still nursing. So there was a lot of things, and we're talking like, anaphylactic food allergies. So not just like, he gets a little bit of hives, it's like he might die.Lesley Logan 19:06  Yeah, yeah, which is all very different. I think these, like, you have to understand that, and then, like, but also I love that you did it ahead of time. I think this is where people can have a wonderful life is if you can advocate for yourself, but do it ahead of time, and then that way you're not like, oh, I can't believe this restaurant isn't taking care of me. Meghan Pherrill 19:42  I know, yeah, exactly. And like, yeah, there's, like, there's a certain place we go to. The chef knows me. I you know I go in to the server, she knows me now too. But I'm like, just let the chef know that it's the girl with a lot of the allergy restrictions, and he'll come out and he smiles. He's like, I knew it was you, but like, he and he gets it, right? Like, it's, he's really accommodated us for that. So it's, he's, yeah, I found a way to kind of live and that, you know, at first too, it was like, okay, I guess I'll have the salad because, you know, at least I can put the dressing on the side. But yeah, it's, it's, it's all a learning curve. And I think, too, people shouldn't be so hard on themselves. Like, if they're hearing me talk about spinach, I eat spinach, by the way. I'm just saying there's some people out there that are like, you will die if you eat spinach. Lesley Logan 19:44  Oh my god. Meghan Pherrill 20:08  And you have to, you do you have to get really in tune with like, how does it make you feel if you eat spinach and you're like, I feel like garbage afterwards. You should probably stop eating spinach.Lesley Logan 20:39  I used to, I would have brown rice, because some people would tell me it's healthier than white rice. And guess what, you guys, it has arsenic. And it's actually not so awesome for me, especially because I have a hard time breaking down lectin. And so I was telling my fundamental friend, my fundamental health doctor friend, and I said, I said, Oh my god, every time I make this one bowl, it has veggies, it has protein, has all these things, but like, I just feel exhausted after I eat it. And she said, what's the base? I said, it's brown rice. And she goes, switch it to white rice. So I switched it to white rice. Fine. Like, I just couldn't, per, I just couldn't break down the lectin and so but also, we're all very different, and I think we're, I hope people are getting permission here is like, figure out what works for you and do the best you can, and then we can have, like, what you do so well, Meghan, was like, finding balance, you know, like, I think where a lot of people are getting confused is they're going, oh, this person says this, but this person says this, and what should I do? It's like, what, what felt good to you? Meghan Pherrill 21:38  Yeah, exactly, yeah. Lesley Logan 21:39  So, okay, you have a kiddo, life has totally changed. I for for the moms who are listening like, how have you been because you you focus on you to kind of get you here. And obviously, when they're an infant, they're an infant, and it's a different story. But how are you making sure you're still focusing on you while raising this kiddo? Meghan Pherrill 21:59  Well, I was just talking to a girlfriend about this, literally, this morning. So I was lucky enough that, I live in Canada, by the way, it's cold most of the time here. He's a summer baby, thank God. And so when I first brought him home, like days old, right away, I would just go out and get sunlight. That was like my self-care moment with him. I would keep him skin to skin on my chest. We'd go outside and to me like, I just it felt so good to get the vitamin D, for him it was really good. And I had been really active my entire pregnancy. Knew that I wanted to kind of get back into that afterwards, but I also was really mindful about giving myself grace. I had a really hard labor and delivery, and so I wasn't, like, I was even able to kind of get up and, like, walk around, right the next day, I kind of followed-ish, the 555 rule, which, if you don't know, it's like, five days in the bed, five days on the bed, five days around the bed. So I had a perfect (inaudible), day four, I had to take him to the doctors for a checkup. But that was kind of like my mentality was, like, I'm just going to be on the bed in the bed for the first little bit with him. My husband had dragged out like the futon to the living room so I could watch a TV show if I wanted. And that was kind of like the first 15 days for me. It was just really focusing on that. And then it started off with just going out on walks afterwards. These were not hour-long walks. Sometimes they were up and down the street, and that was it. I knew I really wanted to set my son up for healthy habits to for his life. And so really right from I got the clearance, so I got, usually you get clearance at like, week six or getting back into your fitness routine, it was week nine for me. I had, I literally got in a car accident, like a month before my son had been born (inaudible). It took a little while for me to recover, but as soon as I was able to, like, he would go in this swing next to me. Well, I did, like, my pelvic floor exercises, and I did 10 minutes of yoga, and it's, he's almost two now, like, I work out with him, or do yoga or Pilates five or six days a week, and he's there with me. I put toys around. I have snacks out for him. Sometimes it's, takes like an hour and a half to do, like, a 40-minute class, because he needs constant snacks now, but he sees me doing that, and he knows in the morning when the weights come out, like he even rolls out my yoga mat for me now. He has a little set of weights that he can do, and he does his squats with me. And even before we do our workout together, I do a Wim Hof breath session, and he goes bananas for that. Like, he runs into the room. He's like, Wim, Wim, Wim. I put him on the bed, and he sits with me. He watches the screen, which I'm sure somebody is like, he's too young to look at a screen. You know what? It's Wim Hof. Lesley Logan 24:41  I think, everything in moderation. Meghan Pherrill 24:56  Breathing thing and he just sits there. And sometimes all you even him going, like, he tries to do it and yeah, so like, some days it doesn't happen exactly how I want it to, but I would say for the most part, like he just, he knows the routine. He knows that this is, this is important to mommy. And I will even tell him, this is mommy's time now, you can stay here and play with me, but this is, we're doing mommy's thing first. And he's like, okay. Lesley Logan 25:26  I love this. First of all, I love that you are honest about like, a 45-minute class might take an hour and a half. You know? I also, we had a guest on. Also lives in Canada. She, she married in they have five kids, and she said, actions are caught, not taught. And she's like, our kids see us. We're making our movement practice a priority, and they don't have to do the movement practice, but they don't get to tell us, we don't get to do the movement practice, so it's like, we're gonna go, we work out in the morning, we walk, do a walk. You can come with us or not. We're gonna go do this, then we're gonna go do this, then we will do these things with you. So if you don't wanna wait to hang out with us until then, then you can come with us, right? And so that's her big thing is that kids really pick up on that. And I think it's really important, because, of course, they have needs, and there's other things they need, but like, if you can find patience and you can give yourself grace to take 45 minutes to do, take an hour and a half to do a 45-minute workout, then, as they get older, look, he's rolling you're mat that's so cute. We have OPC members whose kids know the sound of my voice, and they'll like, be on the ground next their mom. They like, oh, I could roll like a ball, like I could do it, you know, I'm like, that is so important. And if they're on screen learning healthy stuff versus being babysat, there's a very big difference. So I, I'm all for that, but I, but I just really thank you, because I do think that so many people are like, oh, I need to have complete alone time and then I can work out. And it's like, there's no perfect day, like, I barely have, I don't even have kids, but I used to have three dogs, and they have to go at different times. Like, okay, hold on, let me let you out. Okay, let me, yup, this, oh, now you want your food? Okay, here's like, you know. So, like, I've pre-made all the bowls, and then they come. So, like, even my own workout would be interrupted. I don't even have children, you know. So it's like, how can we prep the area, prep the scene, prep the people in our lives for what we're about to do, and then how can we take advantage of what we can do, you know, and then be kind and know that that's, that's, that's good enough for today. And I think I never heard the 555 thing. Of course, every mom listening will probably say come on, Lesley, but that's so interesting, because I do think that people, I had a girlfriend who had kids and she's like, I really didn't think that eight months after pregnancy I would still be trying to get my core strength back, you know? And she went to it as a trainer, and, like all these things and pre postnatal, and she's, like, experienced it for herself for the first time. And it's like, yeah, everyone is different, you know, we're all different, and we have to know that and take our time getting it back. Meghan Pherrill 28:02  Yeah, yeah. And I will, like, I have one child, someone's like, I have three or four or five kids. Like, you know, maybe you don't have the luxury of doing the 555, right away after but it's also, like, little things for a postpartum like, it's nice to get the bassinet and and the clothes for the kiddo, but I had people meal prep me a bunch of things that was part of a postpartum gift, and someone bought me cleaning services for like, four or five different times I utilized that so I don't have to get out of bed or off the couch and take away from my.Lesley Logan 28:25  I love these gifts. Why aren't people registering for this? Because I see the registrations I had a girlfriend, and we are, like, late to the party on like, buying the, I'm like, oh, now we're down to the things. This kid's not gonna wear this stuff. And I was like, we're not getting anywhere with any of these things. We're going to get some dinner gift certificates to restaurants near her house that can deliver. Like, that's what we're doing, because I refuse to buy clothes. This kid is gonna be born in the summer. We make it the whole time, no.Meghan Pherrill 29:01  Yeah, no, that was my whole thing. Like, my kid lived in a diaper for the first, like, four months, and we got so many hand-me-downs. I was like, I'm not, I'm not spending money on clothes that kid's gonna grow out of in two weeks. But yeah, like the dinner thing, if someone is ever like, I don't know what to get a postpartum mom, food or cleaning services, will you will be their favorite person in the entire world, because there's yeah, you don't want to be you don't want to be cooking or cleaning after watching it. You just want to be able to pick up a phone or dial Uber or whatever, and just say, bring me food. Lesley Logan 29:35  Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So kiddos, to your your business had to change. It sounds like, from what you were doing before him to now what you're doing, what is the be it till you see it that you're working on right now? Like, are we? Are you wanting to add more things back? Are you trying to enjoy what you got? Like, what? What are we? What? What's the thing you're most excited about right now?Meghan Pherrill 29:57  I really wanted to get back to basics. For me, when I first started yoga, I was like, this has changed my life so profoundly. I want to teach others how to do the same. And so I had done, like a manifestation, meditation teacher training and a meditation teacher training. And just as you you kind of want to grow new things happen to you. I got it, got caught up in what everyone else was doing, and thought I should be doing the same thing. And I was thinking of this the other day, and I was like, I really want to get back to basics. It's probably not going to happen right away for me, just realistically with a little guy with allergies, but I really want to get back to I, I literally, before the world shut down, I did Costa Rica yoga retreat, and in before 2020, and I loved it. It was, I love to travel. I love yoga. I was like, this is an amazing blend here. I really want to get back to doing retreats again. In an ideal world. I would love to do, like, three to four a year. But I also kind of want to do some weekend ones. I'm a mom now, like, it's not realistic for me to pack up and say, see you for a week while I go to Cyprus, but I could probably figure out how to get away for a day or a weekend retreat so that's important to me, and just to kind of teach people the basics. Again, everybody's seeing all these like, cold plunge things, sauna, things, like, I want to teach people how to get into meditation. You can meditate in five minutes a day and change your absolute life.Lesley Logan 31:28  Let's talk about teaching how to get into meditation. I would love to go there, because I do think, like, yes, of course, as a cold plunger, yes, all these things. But I will say, like, a lot of the stuff is advanced. It's advanced biohacking, it's advanced like, things in a fitness we all just have to get people moving. But also, like my husband the other day, it was like a head, like, feeling like he had something he had, like, in his chest. And I was like, oh, have you, like, meditated? And he's like, no. And I was like, as if I meditate every day. So let's talk about the basics of meditation. Because I think people think it's a little more difficult than it is, and I think they don't think they have time. So what are the basics? How do we get started?Meghan Pherrill 32:06  Super big. I always tell people like, truly, what type of person do you think you are? If you have a movement practice, are you a morning or an evening person? Sometimes people are like, I'm up at five. I do my workout after. Perfect. Okay, so if you're an evening person, let's just dedicate 10 minutes, right? We're not going to do 10 minutes of meditation, but let's just dedicate the 10 minutes at the end of the night to what feels good to you. And that's another thing, too. Do you feel like I can't close my mind down, but I can listen to somebody tell me what to do? Perfect. A guided meditation is where we're at. Maybe you're more of like a I just feel like I need to actually physically do something besides just listen to somebody talk, do a breath work type of meditation where you kind of have to use your head to count things out. But it's also tangible, like you're actually doing this, this breathing thing.Lesley Logan 32:58  Yeah, your whole body's activating it. Yeah, yeah. But no, I understand, yeah. When you, if you do a Wim Hof guys, it's like, it is full, belly, full, lung full, it's like, really in, it's very kinesthetic.Meghan Pherrill 33:11  Yes and it's like some people need to be guided. I, you know, sometimes people, like, I just sat in 30 minutes of silence. I'm not at that point. I very rarely did things like that when I was doing meditation. And if it works for you, great, like, if you're like, I can sit there for five minutes, 10 minutes, however long, and do that, perfect. But I think it's more for the people that are like, I know I should probably start. Where? Find a person, even online, that you resonate with. See, one, they have meditations. And if they don't, who do they like to use? I have some, you know, free on YouTube and all that stuff, too. But I'm always recommending my meditation teacher because she is the most soothing voice in the entire world. I absolutely adore her. And sometimes I don't want to listen to myself do it, or (inaudible) guided in a different way. Lesley Logan 33:58  Every teacher should have their own teacher. I love this suggestion. It's like, dedicate 10 minutes. It's happy 10 minutes. Do a guided that's until, especially if you're new, like everyone listening here is like, recovering perfectionist, overachiever. We want to know if we're doing it right. So, like, having a guided meditation is really nice, you know? And like, I have an Oura ring. You guys in the Oura app, there are guided meditations and breath work ones, part of the thing, which is, like, insane. I was like, oh, well, I'm glad I'm paying for this. But also YouTube, you know, like, you'd be surprised. Like, the workouts have ads because those people want to get paid. But the meditations actually don't have ads during the meditation, so you can get uninterrupted meditation for free. And it's true. Like, find the voices that you like to listen to. I love that.Meghan Pherrill 34:44  Yeah. And it also, you know, like, when I first started my first original it was a yoga teacher who was trying to teach us to meditate. She was like, you absolutely have to sit up tall spine is nice and long cross legged. And then when I did my meditation teacher, she was like, that's not feasible for a lot of people. Get comfortable. Maybe that means lying down. Maybe someone's in a wheelchair, and they actually can't physically, like, move into a different position. Like, it does not have to be this super rigid thing. You could, when your alarm goes off first thing in the morning, lay back into bed, obviously not into a point of you wanting to fall back asleep and stuff. But get comfortable, you know, without scrolling on social media, go to like the podcast app has a bunch of meditations on it. Find one and listen to it there. I'm a mom. I get it. Sometimes it's not easy. Sometimes my meditation is literally while we're brushing our teeth in the morning, and that's going so my son's also listening to it, and I have it stack it that way. If I could do breath work, working out, meditation, like I used to, pre-baby, I would, but it's not a reality for me a lot of the time. So, you know, you can have it, stack it into, you know, maybe you do it as you're getting breakfast in the morning. You're just listening and just dipping your toes into the the water that way.Lesley Logan 36:02  Yeah, actually, I like all the permission there. And I think it's like, meditation doesn't really require perfection. I think a lot of people make it more difficult than it is. Are you able to just be mindful? Oh, I had a thought. Like, okay, now I had another, okay, there's another thought and another. Like, they're just clouds, right? Like, it's, it's actually not as we make it seem like we have to have a clearest mind the perfect to sit perfectly still. I haven't sat perfectly still in an interview. I've had my legs crossed. I have my legs on the table now, like it's a whole thing, like we're not, like, that's just not who we are. So we have to, like, what is possible for us, and then, like, be kind to ourselves, and then start using the tools that we have. And I really appreciate you sharing that. I think that's really great. And I do like the idea of of what you're wanting to do next, which is like going back to basics with people, because especially as your little one is getting to be more independent, you'll have more time, there'll be people who also need to go back to the basics and start there and rebuild a foundation, because you're a new person. You know, we have to, I think, like, the idea that, like, I, I've always hated the word like, bouncing back when that's what, like, shoved into mother's wives, like, you're gonna bounce back. You're never going back. None of us are going back. We're always going forward. So how do we take the new chapter that we're in, the new book, and, like, create what is the scene and the setting that's going to be the best for for where you're going, and then, and then, when your kid goes to school, that's a new transition. And then, like, when they're in high school, it's a different like, there's all these different things. And so what I love about your journey, Meghan, and like, what you've shared with us is just, like, this idea that, like, what is possible, be kind to ourselves, and then, like, little by little, it's a long journey, but you're gonna get there.Meghan Pherrill 37:45  Yeah, yeah. It's, you know, it's I people always, like, roll their eyes when they hear but it really isn't about the destination. It's about the journey. Or, you know, I've also heard people say, well, the time's gonna pass anyways. What are you gonna do with it? You might as well do something that makes you feel happier, brings you a little bit of fulfillment, gives you purpose, you know, brings you joy. And for me, this is what, you know. I love this stuff. I was just saying to my husband, like, I love listening to podcasts. I love watching documentaries. To me, this is not boring. I don't find it like, I,we're all worthy. I enjoy it. And sometimes I listen to things I'm like, I don't resonate what that person said. I know I keep harping on spinach, but like, I'm going to keep eating spinach as long as I feel good eating it. And other times, you know, like we were just talking about, too, sometimes you hear something on a podcast and it just for whatever reason, it just clicks with you, that and you make a change from brown rice to white rice, and all of a sudden you feel a thousand times better. Like to me, I love learning, how can I optimize myself to be a better version of how I was than yesterday?Lesley Logan 38:52  Yeah, yeah. And it comes in little, little changes, not big ones, to be honest. Like, if we look at how corporations make big changes. It's like years in the making. I remember working at a corporation, and they're like, okay, you're, in February, they're going to do the women's locker room, and in March, they're into the men's locker room, and in April, they're going to do this room, and it's going to take a year to remodel this gym, little by little, so that it's on the new branding. And I was like, you're gonna take a year. Can't you just shut down for a week and just do the whole thing? No, like, why don't they do that? Because you actually, like, the gym is like a body. It's an organism itself. It's had its own season, its own routine, its own thing. And if you disrupt the whole thing and you shake it up, you actually don't really see what worked and what didn't work. You don't learn from mistakes. And so, like we all can go, okay, I'm just gonna switch out the rice, or I'm actually gonna keep the spinach, I'm gonna heat it up, or I am gonna work out, and I'm gonna pick a 30 minute class in this hour and a half time that I have, and I'm gonna see how long it takes me. Oh, wow. Only took me 45 minutes. Great, wonderful. You know, like, I think, like, it's just being okay, experimenting and then reflecting and refining. I really appreciate that permission you gave us. Meghan. We're gonna take a brief break and then find out how people can find you, follow you and work with you. Lesley Logan 40:22  All right, Meghan, where do you hang out? Where can they go back to the basics, with you? Meghan Pherrill 40:22  Yeah, if anyone wants to follow along with me, you can find me on all the places, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, at Balance by Meghan, M-E-G-H-A-N, my podcast is Balance Your Life, which you are also be a guest on, and your episode will release soon. And yeah, those are the places that you can connect with me. Lesley Logan 40:42  Wonderful. Okay, you've given us a lot, but bold, executable, intrinsic or targeted steps people can take to be it till they see it, what do you have for us?Meghan Pherrill 40:53  I think you have to just whatever is calling to you right now, whether that's starting a new movement practice or starting a meditation practice, or taking one food item and swapping it for something healthier, whatever's resonating with you, not what you see online, follow that intuition of yours and just run with it. Go with it. Don't make it complicating. You know, start with a 10 minute yoga flow. If yoga feels called to you. Maybe it's Pilates. Just start and see how you feel. Give yourself some time, too. Like this isn't like a one day thing. How did I feel? You know, if you were in excruciating pain, that's one thing. But just start and just just let the magic unfold and see what happens for you. Lesley Logan 41:38  I like that. Just start with one thing and then take your time. I really, I think that's so key. I mean, I know we all want things to happen faster, but they actually happen, they happen faster, more slowly, like they really do. Wonderful. Okay, you guys, we want to know how you're using these tips in your life. What's the one thing that you'll start what's the meditation that you like? Share it with Meghan. Share it with the Be It Pod, because hey, especially the meditation things you're liking, we'd love to share those out with people. And it share this with a friend who needs to hear it. Maybe you have someone in your life who's going through something, and they need to hear like there's light on the other side, and the journey is long, but it's worth going on. And we would love for them to hear that from us and from Meghan. And until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 42:18  That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

Sue Becker addresses and debunks another myth that has flooded social media and other health-eating outlets for the past few years.

What We're Getting Wrong About Inflammation: Gastroenterologist Shilpa Ravella Explains Inflammation is at the root of many chronic diseases, from heart disease and Type 2 diabetes to autoimmune disorders, and it can even contribute to certain types of cancer. Yet, despite its profound impact on health, inflammation remains widely misunderstood. Shilpa Ravella, M.D., a gastroenterologist and author of A Silent Fire, is working to change that.  Listen to today's episode written by Courtney Davison at ForksOverKnives.com  #vegan #plantbased #plantbasedbriefing #wfpb #inflammation #guthealth #antiinflammatory #chronicinflammation   ========================== Original post:  https://www.forksoverknives.com/wellness/gastroenterologist-shilpa-ravella-on-common-inflammation-myths/  ========================== Related Episodes:  420: The Potential Harm in Unnecessary Gluten-Free Diets https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/420-the-potential-harm-in-unnecessary-gluten-free-diets-by-dr-michael-greger-at-nutritionfactsorg  50: Dr. Gundry's The Plant Paradox is Wrong https://plantbasedbriefing.libsyn.com/50-dr-gundrys-the-plant-paradox-is-wrong-by-dr-michael-greger-at-nutritionfactsorg    SEARCH: Use search feature at https://www.plantbasedbriefing.com/episodes-search  Search for inflammation ========================= Forks Over Knives Documentary: https://www.forksoverknives.com/the-film/  =========================== Forks Over Knives was founded following the release of the world-famous documentary Forks Over Knives in 2011, showing people how to regain control of their health and their lives with a plant-based diet.

I appreciate your insight and banter about such interesting topics. Thanks for keeping me entertained and informed. I'm about to schedule my first colonoscopy. My question is what is the best way to re-feed after this procedure? I see it as a "clean slate" - which could be good and bad. I'd like to allow for optimal regrowth in my system. If it matters, I'm a 45yo female with 3 little kids (2, 5, & 7) with history of intermittent intestinal distress (constipation, diarrhea, gas) which was worse when I was a child and also since having kids. Any ideas would be helpful. Be Well, Kelly Many thanks   Plant Paradox Kiira writes: Greeting from Spokane. Thank you for all your thoughts and comments over the years. I definitely feel kindred spirits with the two of you. My inquiry is in your thoughts and opinions Dr. Gundry's “plant paradox”. I completely agree with him about organic, grass fed, prairie meats and wild seafood. I agree that you have to be mindful about what your food eats. My question is about the minimal amount of protein he suggests. I have reservations about his recommendations for reduced protien intake and reduced red meat intake. Just curious about your opinions on this as well as his whole “plant paradox” as I know you always have one. Thank you for your time and all that you two are doing because this world is going to hell in a hand basket! Kiira   Mitigating Junk Food Diet John writes We eat a meat heavy, whole food diet in our house, in part because of you and your work. However our active, fit and healthy but rebellious teenage son gets access to and generally consumes junk food. Additionally, he will be headed to college soon and will have total control over his diet. Not a good thing. My question is: what one or two things would you recommend to mitigate this, assuming that I could get him to take one supplement, or do one minor thing, but nothing that will really require effort on his part - i.e. a multivitamin for nutritional deficiencies, a hydrogen water bottle for mitochondrial support, shilajit or liver pills, etc??? I know his being young and healthy will be a big factor, but if there is an easy and effective thing to send him away with, I'd love to know. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

Sue Becker addresses and debunks another myth that has flooded social media and other health-eating outlets for the past few years. Dr. Steven Gundry, author of the book, The Plant Paradox, claims that lectins adversely impact good gut organisms, compromise digestion, promote inflammation, and even boldly claims that lectins are the biggest dietary danger to our health and may even be killing us. Sue gives logical reasons why this information is simply not true!

In this episode, I'm re-releasing an episode with Dr. Stephan Guyenet and Dr. Mario Kratz, two impressively experienced nutrition researchers with a wide range of expertise, about their organization Red Pen Reviews, a non-profit dedicated to publishing unbiased, scientifically accurate reviews for current nutrition books hitting the market. Today, we focus on two popular but controversial books—Dr. Steven Gundry's The Plant Paradox and Carnivore Code from Dr. Paul Saladino. This podcast was originally published on August 27 2022 In this podcast, Dr. Guyenet, Dr. Kratz, and I discuss: How difficult it is to parse out accurate versus inaccurate and biased information and the regulated and systematic role of Red Pen Reviews in clearing up the confusion The 3 focus areas Dr. Guyenet and Dr. Kratz use to score the books they review and the importance of each How the health claims made in Carnivore Code compare to research AND anecdotal reports of people eating the diet…and how the main claim that humans evolved to be carnivores compares to evolutionary evidence Possible downsides or even dangers of the carnivore diet and if these caveats are discussed in the book The full truth of the claim that elevated LDL is not a cardiovascular concern if a person has excellent metabolic health Does a nose-to-tail carnivore diet provide all the nutrients you need each day? The Plant Paradox's primary claim that certain plant lectins lead to approximately 50 diseases…plus, what a lectin actually is! What current research tells us about lectins triggering leaky gut, inflammation, and autoimmune disease  The health status of people who eat large amounts of lectin-rich legumes, tomatoes, and other nightshade vegetables Could lectins and other plant foods be stressful BUT ALSO beneficial at the same time? Practical ways to evaluate the nutrition information you take in every day so you can more easily consider what's accurate and what's likely not

Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Kristin Hieshetter tackles the challenging topic of declining life expectancy in the USA and the alarming rates of chronic diseases among children. She delves into the controversial issue of glyphosate, a ubiquitous herbicide, and its prevalence in our diets. This episode offers a deep dive into the health implications of consuming commonly found grains and the powerful effect that dietary choices have on our overall health. Dr. Hieshetter touches upon the historical increase in processed foods and a sedentary lifestyle as contributing factors to the deterioration of public health. Alongside these insights, she also provides a wealth of knowledge about avoiding harmful substances like glyphosate, advocating for organic food consumption, and embracing grain-free lifestyles to mitigate the risk of inflammation and chronic disease. Listeners can expect to be both educated and inspired as Dr. Hieshetter cites various studies and experts to back her claims, painting a clear picture of the detrimental effects of modern agricultural practices and food processing on human health. She doesn't just outline problems but offers robust solutions, advice and allies in the health space to pave the way for improved dietary habits and a return to functional health. Key Takeaways: The life expectancy in the USA has significantly declined, with chronic diseases in children rising at unprecedented rates. Glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has been linked to a spectrum of health issues, including cancer and neurological effects. A diet rich in grains can lead to "leaky gut syndrome," causing inflammation and a host of autoimmune and neurological disorders. Organic fruits and vegetables can reduce pesticide exposure by a staggering 96%. A call to action to embrace dietary changes, avoid processed foods and grains, and to consume low-lectin, organic food for optimal health. Notable Quotes: "We are walking around in the most amazing, intelligent, responsive, adapting, and aware system in the world, the human body." "Grains are full of lectins, which we're going to get into. They're full of glyphosate. They can create celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammation in the body." "They use [glyphosate] as a chelator. It binds the nutrients and vitamins, and they decide to use it on our food. In fact, to the tune of 280,000,000 pounds a year, in the United States of America." "When your gut leaks, your brain leaks. If you're eating this stuff, you are enhancing the likelihood of developing Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and dementia." "Let's get ahead of this, right? We need to consume only organic fruits and vegetables. If you do just that one thing, you can eliminate about 96% of your total pesticide exposure."

Pre-order a copy of Gut Check - https://amzn.to/40QdVwz   In this insightful podcast episode, host Frank Rich engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Steven Gundry, a renowned cardiac surgeon turned nutrition expert and author. The episode delves into the significance of gut health, its impact on various aspects of our lives, and practical steps to improve it.   Key Talking Points:   Gut Microbiome Deep Dive: Dr. Gundry introduces the gut microbiome as a vast ecosystem, comparing it to a tropical rainforest. Antibiotics, both in medicine and agriculture, are identified as contributors to the destruction of this delicate ecosystem.   Gut Health and Addiction: The discussion turns to addictive behaviors, with a focus on pornography addiction. Dr. Gundry shares insights into the elimination-based diet approach, highlighting its potential based on personal experiences and scientific validation.   Modern Lifestyle Impact: The widespread use of antibiotics in fast food and the presence of glyphosate in crops (due to Roundup) are examined. Dr. Gundry emphasizes how these factors negatively impact the gut microbiome, leading to hormonal imbalances.   Gut Health and Mental Well-being: Disorders like bulimia and anorexia are linked to disruptions in the gut microbiome. While counseling is valuable, addressing the root cause related to diet and microbiome health is crucial for effective treatment.   Intermittent Fasting for Gut Repair: Dr. Gundry advocates for intermittent fasting as a strategy for gut repair. Limiting the eating window to six to eight hours is suggested to allow sufficient time for the gut to rest and repair.   Genetics in Gut Health: Associations between genetics and autoimmune diseases are explored. Dr. Gundry dispels misconceptions about MTHFR gene mutations and underscores the significant influence of environmental factors on health outcomes.   Gender Differences and Gut Health: The conversation touches on gender differences, with women being more prone to Alzheimer's. The "estrobolome," a set of gut bacteria influencing hormone modulation, is introduced, discussing its impact on menopause experiences.   Early Life Gut Health: Dr. Gundry provides practical advice for parents to promote healthy gut development in children. Limiting antibiotic use, avoiding fast food, and encouraging healthy eating habits are highlighted as essential practices.     Steven R. Gundry, MD, is the founder and director of the International Heart and Lung Institute in Palm Springs, California, and the Center for Restorative Medicine in Palm Springs and Santa Barbara. After a distinguished surgical career as a professor and chairman of cardiothoracic surgery at Loma Linda University, Dr. Gundry changed his focus to curing modern diseases via dietary changes. He is the author of  multiple New York Times bestsellers including The Plant Paradox, and The Longevity Paradox, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution, and Unlocking the Keto Code, and more than 300 articles published in peer-reviewed journals on using diet and supplements to eliminate heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune disease, and multiple other diseases. He is the host of the weekly Dr Gundry Podcast and founder of wellness brand, Gundry MD.    And his newest book, Gut Check will be released this coming January 2024.   Connect with Dr. Steven Gundry: Website - https://gundrymd.com/   IG - https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/   YT - https://www.youtube.com/@GundryMDYT Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-dr-gundry-podcast/id1434371530 --   Connect with Frank and The Super Human Life on Social Media:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachfrankrich/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/584284948647477/   Website: http://www.thesuperhumanlifepodcast.com/tshlhome   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjB4UrpxtNO2AFtDURMzoKQ

Sue Becker addresses and debunks another myth that has flooded social media and other health-eating outlets for the past few years. Dr. Steven Gundry, author of the book, The Plant Paradox, claims that lectins adversely impact good gut organisms, compromise digestion, promote inflammation, and even boldly claims that lectins are the biggest dietary danger to our health and may even be killing us. Sue gives logical reasons why this information is simply not true! Follow us on Facebook @thebreadbeckers and Instagram @breadbeckers.

Well, can you explain why we're doing this? Can you answer this? They have, when they're in the room with you, they cannot leave until you're done. If they say do you have any questions, and you ask questions, they can't walk away from you.Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach.

The thing about LRS you guys I can never I can barely keep her under an hour. She is going to teach you everything she knows about the topic. This has me fired up about it.

And at one point she was close to tears. Lesley Logan 2:07  I know. Brad Crowell 2:07  Talking about her clients.Lesley Logan 2:09  I know. I know. So if you haven't listened to our first episode on confidence, you should go listen that it's full of honesty. And then this one was on thyroid because those are actually the two topics that she coaches on. And she's helped a lot of people in both places.Brad Crowell 2:22  Yes, she interestingly enough, wrote a book about uninformed doctors. Yeah, that is very famous. Yeah. So huge. Yeah.Lesley Logan 2:29  Before we get into that, yeah, todayBrad Crowell 2:33  Is Thursday, August 24. Lesley Logan 2:39  Is it a special holiday?Brad Crowell 2:41  Oh, it might be.It is Thursday, August 24. Lesley Logan 2:51  Let's see what the first thing is to come out.Brad Crowell 2:53  All right.

So I think the scientists got it wrong.Brad Crowell 3:27  National Ride the Wind Day.Lesley Logan 3:29  And then shout out because it is Ukrainian Independence Day. And at this time, they're still fighting for it. So anyways, wow.Brad Crowell 3:37  It's also International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. (Oh, wow.) I think is a pretty important one. Lesley Logan 3:43  I think that's an important one. Where are you seeing that? That's not on mine. Brad Crowell 3:46  August 24. Nationaltoday.com y'all. (I'm looking at it.) in case you're wondering.Lesley Logan 3:52  I just didn't see that one. Well, I'm glad we brought it up. That's great. So we had a lot of holidays. Say today it's a big day in the whole world. It's a big, we didn't even talk about how it's National Danny day, which is like, so strange. So it's a day for Danny. You tell us which day you're celebrating today. We'd love to hear it. Also, we just got back from our West Coast tour.Brad Crowell 4:14  Holy cow.

Classes and workshops.Lesley Logan 4:36  And hundreds of people, hundreds of hundreds of peopleBrad Crowell 4:41  Tons of decks. Lots of dogs. Lesley Logan 4:43  Big thanks to our big headlining sponsor Balanced Body. We could not have made this tour as big without you. You probably saw our tour van if you are living in the state of California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, and you saw what looks like the funnest van in the world. Hi, that was us.Brad Crowell 5:02  Yeah. And if you're wondering what we're talking about, just go to Leslie's Instagram account at Lesley.Logan, you'll see lots of pictures and video of it.Lesley Logan 5:11  Yeah. So we're back. Brad Crowell 5:12  It was, it was awesome.Lesley Logan 5:13  I'm so excited. We were already in our bed, we sleep in the van, it's our bed, but we have a different bed at home. It's bigger. And I'm so excited for that. I'm also like, I do cold showers in the morning when I'm at home, and I could not do them on the tour. So I'm just grateful for my cold showers to wake me up and the wonderful normal dog walks that we do. It's just kind of nice when you know all the areas that you're doing.Brad Crowell 5:35  Good to be on a routine. Yeah, but we love the tour. We'll be back out on tour soon. In fact, I'm actually leaving in a few days to go to Poland, the ControlLogix Conference in Poland. (That's right.) So that's really exciting. And then when I come back from that we're actually doing Agency Mini number nine, which is our coaching group's seven-day program, you can actually sign up for it right now at profitablepilates.com/mini. That's profitable pilates dot com slash M-I-N-I. This is like a not to miss you guys. We only run it twice a year, we are tempted to only run it once a year. We don't know when that's going to happen. But I'm threatening you because it's something that's on our mind. We'd like to be transparent. I like to be honest. (Yeah) it is the last time we're running it this year. We probably won't run it again until February I think?February, March. It's not really figured out yet. So roughly six months. Lesley Logan 6:22  Um, so you want to do that if you are wanting to get any questions answered on your business around your service based business, whether you're running online or brick and mortar, y'all we help people make the money that they want to make. And it doesn't, it's not like we're all about whatever, like just making millions of dollars, we help you make the money you want to make. And one of the my favorite things I got a DM from our agency members been with us for years, she sent me a DM after biome was set. And she just said, I just wanted to reach out to you because I know you went through a lot, I want to let you know that it's because of you that I can provide for my family. I can take vacations when I want to take them with my family. And I can do that without worrying about my business. And I'm making the money I want to make. So that's because she did a mini and she trusted us about this for years. And she's wanted to have a home studio that would allow her to provide for her family and not work when they were off. So we did that for her, which is amazing. Okay, then well.Brad Crowell 7:16  And here's the deal. Lesley Logan 7:18  What's the deal? Brad Crowell 7:19  The deal is that this one is going to be one of our coolest ones yet. Each time we make an extra time we run mini we have a recap afterwards. And we just figure out like, how can we make it even better? And this time, we're doing some really cool stuff. And so actually, you can literally sign up today. So yeah, do go to profitablepilates.com/miniLesley Logan 7:43  Yeah. And then, after mini is over, we hang out with our new members and our old members, and we have a lot of fun. And then we go to Cambodia. Yeah. And this is so excited. We're going to be Cambodia for a while, because we have our retreat. And then we have someone renting out our space to rent their retreat. So yeah, that is the coolest.Brad Crowell 8:03  Yeah. So you know, the dream when we decided to get our own place, you know, there in 2018. Geez, was that someday, it would just be a full-time retreat space. And obviously, we're not taking retreats every week. But we could open that place up and offer our program and let other people fill in the blanks with their teaching. And we're doing that finally. So this is a dream come true for us. We've been talking about this for a very long time. And basically, I'm just excited that it's beginning. If you've ever wanted to run a retreat, and you're trying to figure out where and how and all the logistics and all the complications. That's exactly what we figured out. So just reach out to us and we can have a conversation, maybe we can figure out how you could take your group to an amazing place that is fun, safe, beautiful. Just like it's a bucket list for everyone that I've ever talked to everyone goes holy cow, I'd love to go there. And you know, that's why we picked that spot. So yeah, anyway, if you're in Southeast Asia, it's like a month away at this point, or I guess it's the end of August. So you know, we're going the beginning of October for our group. And you know, you could still join us, there's still some room. Otherwise, get yourself on the waitlist. And we'll tell you about next year's retreat.Lesley Logan 9:23  Yeah. And then, and then we come back and then I go to Chicago and I'm teaching at a club place in Chicago with a request at this point (that's in November) it's in November at this point, you just have to DME if that's what you're interested in, because we don't actually have anything up at the time of this is dropping, but it will be spaced that's limited because we can only have so many people per workshop. It's my first time teaching Chicago in a year, but also my first time teaching in a Chicago studio. Not on a conference in like five years. So excited. And then December go on the winter tour. So everything we just did. We're doing it again in the winter and because Balanced Body is our sponsor, you can best believe it's going to be fucking huge.Brad Crowell 10:04  Yeah, it's gonna be a little more spread out just because it's like probably five to 6000 miles instead of three. And, you know, we're going to be doing the loop as y'all know. So, anyway.Lesley Logan 10:17  And actually, because our audience question has to do with the winter tour, we can just dive into it. Brad Crowell 10:22  Yeah, let's just do that. Lesley Logan 10:23  I have been getting a ton of DMS. And really this question is because I don't know how to answer it. So the questions I've been getting is people putting in the DMS their city, and then asking how to get their city on the winter tour on a tour. And so we have lots of people in Florida, which y'all you have to understand what that means. You're asking us to do, you're asking us to go from Philly and drive into Florida and do you know how long Florida is so long? We've done it before. But I'm not saying we won't do it. I'm just saying it's a lot. And so where what should people do, babe? If they want their city on a tour? Well, I say the winter tour because like if you could be on the winter tour, but you could be on next year summer tour. So like, where should people like submit their city for a tour? Stop?Brad Crowell 11:12  Yeah, I just wanted to say it's a 17-hour drive from Philly to Miami. Lesley Logan 11:17  Yeah, we've done it. I remember I experienced it. Brad Crowell 11:20  So here's, here's what you do. We have an amazing team, who has figured out a whole conversation that has been repeated a few times here. So if you're interested in being a host, you could be in Canada, you could be in United States, we're figuring out these roads, you know what this could look like in the future? Hell, maybe even Mexico? I don't know.Lesley Logan 11:41  Oh, my God. Well, I might be talking about that. Yes, I would love Brad Crowell 11:45  Anyway, if you have a studio and you're interested in hosting, just chat to us go to opc.me/chat. And we will start the conversation with you and figure out you know, what makes sense when it might not be now it could be next year? It could be you know, whatever. I don't know, we haven't figured it out yet. But we are just taking note, if you want us to stop by.Lesley Logan 12:06  You should do it now because we actually are going to pick our winter tour cities in September. Because we have because we'll be in Cambodia in October. So put those in and and also just know that like you will be the host and you'll be promoting it and we will be helping you. So as much as we want to come to your space. If you also don't like to fill things then maybe submit someone else's space that you'll go to. I'm just being honest. But we're so it's just gonna be a ton of fun. It's gonna be amazing.Brad Crowell 13:00  Okay, now let's talk about Elle Russ. Bestselling author and renowned authority in thyroid health who's transformed her personal health struggles into a decade-long mission to support and educate others around the world. We are so excited to have brought Elle Russ back to the pod to talk about thyroid health, something that she's incredibly passionate about. Lesley Logan 14:31  Yeah, she is and I when she and I first invited her on the podcast, I thought we could talk about both competence and thyroid health but no, we could not. And so I'm glad we did two separate episodes. And I am I'm actually having a lot of fun because at this point in Episode 254 We keep bringing different people back because there's like more conversations to have with some of those people and I just I love it because I can get deeper into it. Anyways, that was just side by side story. Okay, I actually really loved that she wrote about how thyroid issues are fixable and solvable because I I have met many people on my journey in life. And I even had a doctor who was worried about my thyroid, and they made it seem like that was not a death sentence that's so dramatic, but like, it's a period. Done. It's like a statue.Brad Crowell 15:14  It's like congratulations, you have it. And now you have to deal with it forever. Yeah. And I really loved that she has been on this mission. And she talked about that it's achievable for every single person's thyroid problem to like, solve this issue. And I think that's really amazing. I wish more doctors knew about that. And she said that there's two reasons you might be suffering. You're either dealing with an uninformed doctor Who doesn't know how to test that yet, or you're uninformed, and you don't know about your disease. And I think like, both of those can come off really strong. But what I what I do know even as a Pilates teacher who teaches Pilates like off like, just even though I'm just teaching Pilates, like there are uninformed teachers out there, and there are people who are uninformed about the movement and capabilities of our bodies, it's the same thing in this situation. And so what we have tried to do on this podcast is bring different people on who talk and advocate about, they promote how you should advocate for yourself. And I think part of being it till we see it is not just like, pushing and procrastinating our health issues, because they keep it keep us from showing up as our best versions of ourselves, and also advocating for a doctor who listens to us. And that those two things, you could actually have both of these things, you could be uninformed and be with the doctors uninformed.Lesley Logan 16:29  Yeah, I wanted to I had another comment. You know, I grew up with a dog who had thyroid problems, and I we need to give him medicine for like, every day for the rest of his life.Brad Crowell 16:40  From the age of six I just thought that like, once you had a thyroid problem, you were you always had a thyroid problem. That was it. And then my mom. She always had like low iron and stuff. And then later in life, she has hypo and hyperthyroidism. Lesley Logan 17:26  She has both?Brad Crowell 17:26  She has both.Lesley Logan 17:29  How's that even possible? That's so crazy.Brad Crowell 17:31  I couldn't tell you, I don't really understand it. And I think that's exactly the problem, right? And from my perspective, then my mom is just going to have something she's gonna have to deal with this for the rest of her life. And so it's kind of amazing that, you know, she's suggesting that you can, these are solvable problems.Lesley Logan 17:48  Yeah. And I obviously like if you don't have a thyroid anymore, of course, you have something to deal with rest of your life. But if you have one, yeah, it can be surgically removed. And if you have one and you are struggling to keep things the way that makes you feel like the best version of yourself. What we are suggesting is that you go and get second opinions, get some help find people who are specialists in this who actually believe that there's another possibility. And I think that's really important. Like we didn't talk about this on Elle Russ podcast, but I remember many, many years ago, I was going through my own health stuff, listen to a couple different doctors. One was like the Plant Paradox. He wrote this book. He's a doctor, and he used food to heal people's heart conditions and things like that. And then the other one is Undoctored. And he wrote, I think he wrote brain, brain, brain, brain, brain brain. Anyways, probably green brain. And he also wrote the book Undoctored and he is a doctor who is like, key actually, the way I understand his story was a he was diagnosed with diabetes. And he's like, that's so crazy. I'm like, eating what the medical school taught me it was like nutrition, and there are 15 hours of nutrition that they taught me. And he had diabetes. And so he actually did some work. And he reversed his diabetes diagnosis, and the doctor's response was, oh, maybe it was a misdiagnosis. The doctor wasn't curious as to how he did it. And so you know.Brad Crowell 19:13  I think he wrote Wheat Belly.Lesley Logan 19:15  Wheat Belly. Sure. Super close. Great. Brad Crowell 19:18  Super Gut. Wheat Belly. Undoctored.Lesley Logan 19:20  Yes, yes. Brad Crowell 19:21  Rich food. Poor food. Lesley Logan 19:23  Yes. Brad Crowell 19:23  Nice. Lesley Logan 19:23  So he, what is interesting about that situation is there in life people, there's every person and there are people in every profession who just like this is that this is the way things are, that's how it goes. And then there are people who are like, hold on, why is it like that. And there's curiosity. And then I like to teach the people who study with me is like to be curious, and I want to be with doctors who are curious. Brad Crowell 19:47  Yeah, I like I had mixed emotions listening to this. You know, because I guess culturally and just in my own life we've been raised to trust our doctors, the doctor says a thing than we do the thing, you know. However, having gone through college with a guy who was studying medicine, and just kind of seeing it from that perspective, it made me realize that it's it's a, it's sometimes a process of elimination. It's sometimes, like, it's almost like its own art form. But you have to be incredibly informed, to be able to, you know, diagnose and certain people focus on different things, right? So there's just so fucking much that a doctor could learn about that if you go to someone who didn't really dig into whatever it is that you need to talk to them about. They may not be the correct person. And so they might just not know. Right? And I think that when you look at it, that way, you'll go find a doctor who specializes in the thing, so that you can talk to someone who is the most informed about it.Lesley Logan 21:03  And I just want to say this other thing, because I know that it can sound like I get a little harsh about doctors and, and also compelling elegance, little harsh about doctors. Yeah, I just heard an incredible podcast on New York Times, it was a Sunday read podcast, and it was about like dirty jobs. And like, as they call it, dirty jobs. Anyways, it was about, somebody had a segment where they would like talk about these, like, dangerous jobs that like, people were dying to do them. And somebody was, and he was doing, like, obviously, coal miners, and like, all these different things that like, probably most evil listeners would not sign up for. And someone reached out and said, hey, I know this is gonna sound crazy, but you should probably do a whole thing on doctors. And the author was like, Are you kidding? Who cares about them? They make a ton of money. They're like, they're, like, all the stuff that he's like, No, I think that if you do some research, you're gonna find this out. And the reality is, is that because of the way our especially in the US, so this is, if you're a listener in a different country, you might have a whole different experience when it comes to thyroid and medical stuff. And I would love to hear about that. But especially in the US, because hospitals are for profit, because insurance is for profit, and everybody is going over the bottom line. Doctors don't get the kid's been seven minutes with you. So it's not even that they're uninformed. Yeah, they might be just purely have no time. And then there's, they have all this pressure of going to hospital to do certain things in certain amounts of time. And everybody is stressed out. And really what's happened in the medical industry is like, actually, a lot of doctors have high suicide rate. Yeah, a lot of them have really high amounts of depression, which, you know, you would not think about these things. So listen to that podcast, because it gave me a little bit more of a perspective, like, holy fuck, they might be doing the best they can. And it's never going to be good enough, because the actual system doesn't allow them to have the time for it to be good enough. So a lot of doctors switch into taking no insurance and being paid cash. Yeah. But that's even exhausting, because you have to find people who can afford that. So it's just like, that's, that's if that make you feel happy. So, you know, I think it's like, we're in this system, where everybody is at a thing. And I just want to remind you, it is called a medical practice. And I think that even the medical world has forgotten that. It is a medical practice they're a doctor practicing medicine, just like you practice Pilates, no one is ever going, like, I just want to put that word finished. They're not finished. SoBrad Crowell 23:34  And they shouldn't be finished. I think that I think that's one of the things that, that, you know, bringing this back to Elle, you know, she was talking about curiosity, and you just mentioned finding a doctor who is constantly staying informed, you know, because of a lack of time, because of the situations that they're in. You know, there's, it's really important that you and, you know, you and your doctor are both really digging into your specific, you know, what is happening in your body. And I think, you know, like, like, you know, just one more comment on this. And I think we can move on. From my perspective, having been around you, Lesley, and seeing the amazing I am, yes, the amazingness that you are and your beautiful hair. When you went to see some of the best doctors in the UCLA system. And they were like, I don't fucking know what's wrong with you. That was shocking to me. Like, what do you mean, you don't know what's wrong with her? How is that even possible? And they're like, maybe you have AIDS, and they sent you to a fucking weird ward. I mean, it was crazy. And you know what that doctor said to me? Why are you here? Lesley Logan 24:41  She asked me, she said, I have two questions for you. Do you know why your doctor sent you here? And are you happy with that service? She she had a moment where she is a human being and she was like, I don't know why this patient is here and she asked me to stay which is so crazy to me. And I said, I'm not happy with my service. I don't know why I'm here. And she said, there's nothing wrong with you that I can help you with. Right. And that's when I went to a different I went to Chris Talley, who's not even a doctor. And he figured I was wrong me,Brad Crowell 25:14  I think he's a doctor. Lesley Logan 25:16  Is he a doctor?Brad Crowell 25:16  Definitely a doctor. Lesley Logan 25:17  Sorry, Chris. Brad Crowell 25:20  But anyway, the point is that, you know, when you know, you, I think you shared in the, in the interview, you actually shared about your experience when we moved to Vegas, about a woman who just wrote off the things that you were asking her to do, and didn't acknowledge anything that you are discussing with her. And that sucks. And that's ridiculous. And if you end up finding yourself in a situation like that, this is where you can advocate for yourself, you need to advocate for yourself, and find a different doctor, find someone who will listen to you who can understand the situation, and then, you know, work with you on the thing, because it's a puzzle.Lesley Logan 25:56  I mean, you're totally you're, I think you're like leaning into your own favorite parts here, because it is a puzzle. And you have to advocate for yourself.Brad Crowell 26:04  And in order for you to do that. Just to finish up your point, you have to understand it yourself, too. Right. So I think that if you've been diagnosed with hyper, or hypo or whatever, thyroid, I don't even know all the things. It's important that you dig in yourself, right? And that's one thing that's so cool, is the reason that Elle Russ is so passionate is because she suffered for years. And she felt herself changed from like, intense athlete to bumping into shit. And she's like, what is happening to me, and then she just wasn't satisfied with the diagnosis. She got just like what, like, this doesn't make sense. And that sent her down this path, right. And now today, she's decided this is her mission is to really help people educate themselves. So she has this really nice course that you can go in the show notes and check it out. But moving into the thing that I love that she said is that it is super important for you as a patient to be proactive about your health, especially in advocating for correct tests. Okay. Now, this is really interesting to me, because I don't, I don't actually I'm not a I don't know this, I don't know anything about these specific tests. But But Elle listed these six tests, if you're, if you are suffering with thyroid issues, she said it says th t sh, a free T three a free T for a reverse T three, those are the main four. And then there was one called a T P O antibiotic antibody, and then a TG antibody. And the balance of the conversation after that was about the struggle to actually get the doctors to run these tests. Because they you know, what, what Elle has experienced with her clients is that they go in, they asked for these tests, and the doctor say I'm gonna run the tests, and then the results come back and they didn't fucking run the tests. Lesley Logan 27:49  Well, because they ran just like one test, or they run a combine, they don't run them separately. And I actually sent her my most recent blood results, because I didn't have all these tests run. I wasn't really aware that a had thyroid thing, but I sent her what I had. And then I had another person look at them, plus my own doctor who I love and trust. And all of them agreed upon the same thing. So like everything is good with my thyroid. But it's, that's what second opinions are for.Brad Crowell 28:15  Yeah, so it's important to get a second opinion. And also she even said something that was kind of off the cuff. And it wasn't really discussed. She said, if you're familiar with what a phlebotomist is, a phlebotomist is the person drawing your blood. So she actually said, ask your doctor for these things. And she clearly has a distrust for doctors. So she said, then when before the phlebotomist even sticks the needle in your arm, ask him if these tests are available to be to be run on your blood from this place. And if they say no, then don't even get your blood drawn. And I thought that's interesting, right? Because the phlebotomist is probably more junior, they're newer to the team. They you know, and whatever. So they're not going they also will be able to give you a lot more of their time, to be honest. Yeah. Typically,Lesley Logan 29:03  When we work with Chris Talley, the phlebotomist came to my house.Brad Crowell 29:07  Yeah, yeah. So anyway, I thought that was really interesting, you know, and she said that sometimes the doctors just think that you're, you know, an ignoramus. And they're like, I know better. And I'm not gonna run the test you just asked me to do, she's talking about other times where they actually put it down, but then it just doesn't happen.Lesley Logan 29:25  You know, here's the thing, like, remember that going back to the doctor who I asked these tests for, and she was like, just like blew me off was like, hormones change throughout the day. So it's not even going to matter. Like, it's not going to give us anything. Well, my doctor ran my hormones. And then she asked me, what part of your cycle were you on when this was run? And I could tell her what day of my cycle I was on, and she could look at the test, knowing what part of my cycle is on and go and say, okay, these numbers make sense based on that there are doctors out there who can do this. Yeah, it just requires it's exhausting because we have so much to do. And I know because I had like, a member, an agency who like was hoping the lawyer would just do the thing. And she's like, I don't know, I don't know. It's like, everything is a collaboration, whether you're working with your doctor, whether you're working with a pilates instructor, whether with a business coach or even a lawyer. You can't just assume they know best. You know your body best so you have got to advocate for yourself. And then you have to ask them. Can you explain why this is happening? Well, can you explain why we're doing this? Can you answer this? They have, when they're in the room with you, they cannot leave until you're done. If they say do you have any questions, and you ask questions, they can't walk away from you. (Right.) So it is okay. And ladies, especially, especially all of you, you must be okay, asking those questions, because I know I'm not. I know I'm like, I don't want to take up your time. I don't want to waste your time. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to be rude. No, it's your fucking body. Your fucking life.Brad Crowell 30:50  I ask all the questions. This fucking guy.Lesley Logan 30:53  Yeah, he does. He's in there for half an hour. Anyway. Be like Brad.Brad Crowell 30:57  Yeah. All right, be like Brad.All right. Finally, let's talk about those Be It Action Items. What bold, executable intrinsic or targeted action items, can we take away from your combo with Elle Russ. She said spread the word. You know, when you heal from something like she has, you know, or you gain some knowledge about something that's impacted you. It's important to actually talk about it and share that with other people. Help someone who's suffering with that same thing. And obviously, you're not, you know, a doctor or someone who has spent years studying the thing. And that's okay, so do your best. Point them in the right direction. And she said you don't have to coach everyone, but you can help people out.Lesley Logan 31:57  August agrees that was that shake in the background? What about you? Um, she said perseverance pays. And I couldn't agree more. It means never give up. If there's something wrong with your health, you do not stop until you have felt you have a satisfying answer. Unfortunately, some things take us years to even understand that it's going wrong. Brad Crowell 32:15  I mean, some things are your road has has been more than 10 years now. Lesley Logan 32:20  Yep, yep. And I mean, at least I'm not in pain every day, and at least I'm not forgetting things anymore. And I'm not walking into walls. And but that's amazing. Brad Crowell 32:30  And you're sleeping.Lesley Logan 32:31  I am sleeping. I actually sleep more than I sleep six hours a day, I'm trying to get up to seven and a half without waking up in the middle of it. We're working on it. We got to six though, so that's great. But it's whatever glad you hear probably didn't happen overnight. It's probably years of in the making. And so you have to also understand that the fix is probably not gonna be overnight, right? But you should feel like your people on your team are listening to you. And so you keep going until you find people on your team who will listen to you. You owe it to yourself, you owe it to the people who are in your life, you owe it to your family, I don't care if you have no kids and no partner. You owe it to all those people who love you. Because you are the only person to do what you do the way you do it. So anyways, I that's that's her Be It actually, that I love, and I couldn't agree more.I'm Lesley Logan. Brad Crowell 33:21  And I'm Brad Crowell.Lesley Logan 33:22  Thank you so much for joining us today. I really hope this helps you. I know this is like sometimes people think we only talk about goals here. Nope. Sometimes I talk about health, sometimes a specific part of our health. And it's because I really believe that being it till you see it is the best way to do anything in this life. And you cannot do that if your health is not up to par If your health can't get you there.

Few topics are more hotly debated than nutrition. With contradictory messaging abundant, it can be difficult to discern credible health advice and navigate which dietary patterns are optimal for our health and longevity.  Simon Hill, nutritionist and host of The Proof Podcast, cuts through the noise and breaks down today's most popular diets and trends. Simon has a healthy obsession with nutritional science and uses reliable science-based information to form his dietary thesis philosophy. He focuses on nuanced, evidence-based research instead of biased black and white thinking. While science is not perfect, we do have clear biomarkers for longevity and preventing our #1 killers, and this episode goes into how these trends stack up against those markers. With so many experts letting their biases get in the way to form nutritional recommendations, Simon is the nutrition resource we need right now. In this episode we cover:  Popular diets: Paleo, Carnivore, Vegan, Keto, Plant Paradox, & Nourishing Traditions What “ancestral diets” get right and wrong Saturated fat vs. PUFAS Popular Trends: Butter, Bone Broth, anti-nutrients, seed oils, etc Eating to survive vs. eating for longevity  Why what's “natural” isn't necessarily what's best for long term health Simon's resources in YouTube description box HERE Sponsor: Anima Mundi Herbals | enter the code ELLEN20 for 20% off everything at https://glnk.io/nr9jm/ellenfisher WHERE TO FIND SIMON Website Instagram Podcast Youtube WHERE TO FIND ME Birth Course Recipe ebooks Instagram Watch the Podcast

I think I'm giving you too much information. :) I hope I don't disqualify myself over the length and also THANK YOU in advance for your help! Hi Robb + Nikki, I have been bingeing your podcast lately and as it turns out, I have a question (actually more than 1) for you. I am going to be 46 in June. I have worked over 25 years in restaurant kitchens, so a lot of physical work + standing on my feet all day. My husband and I reside on Cape Cod which is hot and swampy in the summer, therefore the kitchen environment is hot and swampy and depleting in every way. At age 34/35 I began going into perimenopause, and I have officially been in menopause since June 2022, at age 45. I tried for years to get my period back. I had been vegetarian/sometimes vegan for about 6 years and then I switched to Paleo intermittently for a few years. Plus Acupuncture, TCM, Plant Paradox, Medical Medium, dozens of Whole 30's, etc. I've tried it all, though none for more than a month or two. The past few years have found me 60 + pounds overweight (I am 5 3 1/4 and currently weigh 188-190.), sore, stiff, weak, with thinning hair, lack of mobility, and feeling depressed. I have sleep apnea and am going on one year with my magical C Pap machine though lately that has seemed to level off and I am waking up tired again. I had bloodwork done on January 31 that revealed high cholesterol and stagnant liver function, with glucose on the high level of normal which my doctor seemed to think was fine, 93/99. (TC 206; HDL 41; Trig 83; LDL 146; liver: AST 40; ALT 80). Also higher blood pressure than I've ever had, 138/80. Usually doctors exclaim over how great my blood pressure is! Determined to get my health and vitality back on track I re read your two books, Robb, (Wired to Eat and The Paleo Solution.) I decided to dive back into Paleo but cut out all carbs, and I had already been booze free since December. I started IF most days, started lifting weights a bit, but still avoiding cardio which I DESPISE When I increase the animal protein though, I tend to stop pooing regularly. I was vegetarian for a few years and had no problem moving things out but I feel that is what precipitated my descent into metabolic haywire. I have been supplementing lately with magnesium, minerals, Vitamin DAKE from Dave Asprey, some TCM herbs for liver support, and I've been on the lookout for a good digestive enzyme. I had given up coffee for nearly a year because it was making me hot and anxious, and I thought it was a factor in my hair shed, but lately I started mixing a little coffee back in to my Rasa along with collagen, which I just started using again. I started eating a lot of full fat cottage cheese for more protein, the only dairy that doesn't seem to make me phlegmy. Then the past few weeks, some wine here and there. I got my second round of bloodwork done on April 4 and my cholesterol went UP, though my liver improved. (TC 246; HDL 49; Trig 85; LDL 178; liver: AST 30; ALT 39). She didn't test my glucose again. I do have heart disease and high cholesterol in my family. Did my cholesterol go up from wine, even though my liver improved? Cottage cheese? Not really exercising? All of the above? After I read your books again I asked my doctor to authorize tests for my A1C, LDL-P, and CRP but she refused. Something about coding for insurance and blah blah blah. I see her again at the end of this month and I am hoping she will agree to the other tests after seeing my cholesterol jump. I have always been a giant ball of stress and nerves (don't ask me why I chose the worst possible career for that). I know I need to meditate and breathe better, and sometimes I do. I used to be stronger and fitter. My other issue is I tend to reject routine after a while. I have a terrible, terrible sweet tooth as well. I am my own worst enemy! My weight has yo-yoed constantly over my life, but this is the heaviest I've ever been. I gained 10+ pounds last spring, then jumped another 10 pounds between September and December. (In 2008 I was 130, right before going veggie.) A lot of my dilemmas ramp up next week as I return to work full time:  I work from 1-2 pm to 10-11 pm 5-6 days a week. Eating on the job is a no-no, although we all graze on the down low. I could take a break, in theory, but simply don't have time. Most shifts I don't have time to drink out of my water container right in front of me (I bring a gallon of water with 2-3 LMNT packs in it to work.) An average shift leaves me hot, sore, sticky, thirsty, and anxious. So in terms of IF and exercise: If I wake at, say, 9 am (and feel like absolute road kill, btw, and both feet are on fire from pinky toe bunions) and need to be clocked in at work by 1:30 or 2, that leaves me 4.5 hours to get all my meals in, exercise, AND spend time on soul fulfilling hobbies. I try very hard to not eat or have a drink when I get home from work, but sometimes I'm ravenous. (Or am I just dehydrated and anxious? They kind of feel the same.) And then as we slide into the busy summer season I'm having a drink every night… What, when, how much do I eat during the day? If I am going to eat after work, what type of macro situation should I have? I've thought about bringing meat sticks or homemade collagen gummies in to work, but then I'm snarfing them in the corner between tickets and I am most definitely NOT in a parasympathetic state, so in that case is it better to just be hungry?? Also the siren song of the bowl of salty french fries beckons all night, which we all pick out of. I feel like HIIT 3-4 days a week, heavier weights and less reps, with maybe a yoga class or two or three mixed in is what I need (although I need to actually DO it) but my husband thinks I need to jog for an hour 5 days a week and lift lighter weights with more reps. He says I need to do so much cardio that I puke. I'm not liking the sound of that. Is there a happy medium somewhere or am I just a whiny baby? I keep hearing you mention “zones” for cardio and I'm not sure what that means. You had a question regarding cholesterol a few weeks back, a man named James I think who cut out carbs and his cholesterol jumped as well. You recommended him adding a few more carbs. But I thought cholesterol came from dietary carbs? I miss fruit and potatoes and winter squash. I really miss the vibrant and energetic person I used to be, also. **Some reference points that may or may not be useful for you that you don't need to add to my question, or read out loud, but just in case you need more info along with the novel I've already written: We work in a seasonal restaurant so we have winters off, which is when I try to wrangle my health back in line before the slow slide into the madness of summer. I'm TIRED of this merry go round. I want to be healthy and sustain my vitality all year long. I have really good work shoes and orthotics only available at my podiatrist's office. Interestingly I had bunion surgery in 2001 for both my big toes. My newest bunions started paining me in late 2019. 2017 I had 4 menstrual cycles all year, then 2 each in 2018 and 2019, then my last one in May 2021. My cycles have been irregular throughout my whole life. I have never been pregnant. When this all began an older male doctor bullied me onto the pill. I stopped after a month because I felt WEIRD. I've not had Covid that I know of, but I did fall for the 3 jabs: April and May of 2021, and January 2022. Never again though. When I was very little I reacted badly to the DTP shot (lower body paralysis for a day after) so I was hesitant to get the C shot but didn't seem to get anything but a sore arm, knock on wood. I guess only time will tell with that situation. Did I mention tong-itis (the kitchen version of tennis elbow) in both arms? In 2017 it was so bad I couldn't shift the gears in my car. Basically I am just inflamed, stiff, tight, contracted. I know I need to stretch more or roll on my foam roller or fascia balls but then I think so much about what I need to do I don't do anything and I end up sitting in my chair all day, dreading work Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.

While you're likely frustrated because everything sounds like a contradiction, the truth is that your health is about finding what works best for you.  Is going with a plant-based diet necessary, will vegetables kill you, or is eating red meat the cardinal sin to avoid.? Dr Steven Gundry, cardiologist and heart surgeon, has been studying diets from Blue Zones, gut health and what has been killing our energy, our longevity and ability to lose unwanted fat. He's the bestselling author of Unlocking the Keto Code, The Energy Paradox, The Plant Paradox, and many others. In this series of conversations, Dr Gundry gives us the simplest break down of what foods are destroying your gut health, the best way to “diet”, why you're struggling with such low energy levels, and what the real benefits are of a low-carb and ketogenic diet is and what it means for you. The key takeaway to remember is that energy starts in the gut and being metabolically flexible, being able to switch between different energy sources in your body, is going to be key to finally achieving your best health ever. QUOTES: “The purpose of food is to get olive oil in your mouth.” “Recent information has proven that fat is not the evil guy we thought it was, that the fat is there because of the inflammation and the inflammation is there because you have a leak in your gut.” “Believe it or not in the American diet, 24 hours a day, we're causing leaky gut, we're assaulting our immune system with these LPSs, and it's no wonder we're a giant ball of inflammation.”  “It's the cycling in and out of getting the benefits of ketosis without full ketosis that makes all the difference.” “Ketones are not a super fuel, they are actually a signaling molecule that tells mitochondria to protect themselves at all costs.” Follow Steven Gundry:  Website: https://www.doctorjasonfung.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstevengundry/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThePlantParadox/  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@drgundry  Twitter: https://twitter.com/drgundry  Sponsors: Go to http://www.blinkist.com/IMPACT to start your 7-day free trial and get 25% off of a Blinkist Premium membership.
