Dr. Angela Thyer and Judy Simon discuss their book 'Getting to Baby' and the importance of nutrition and lifestyle in fertility. They share their backgrounds and how they came together to help women improve their nutrition and health for better fertility outcomes. The book covers the connection between food and fertility, the importance of whole foods, debunking misconceptions about diet and fertility, and the benefits of intuitive eating and cooking. They emphasize the need for diversity in food choices and the impact of processed foods on fertility. The book also includes practical tips and recipes to support a healthy pregnancy journey. The conversation covers topics such as the importance of breakfast and meal timing, the impact of nutrition on fertility, the role of integrative medicine in fertility treatment, and the power of lifestyle choices in influencing fertility outcomes. The guests emphasize the importance of combining foods and the role of vegetables in supporting digestion and overall health. They also discuss the impact of stress, sleep, and epigenetics on fertility. The conversation highlights the need for a multidisciplinary approach to fertility treatment and the importance of finding a supportive healthcare team.   Takeaways Nutrition and lifestyle play a crucial role in fertility and improving fertility outcomes. Eating whole foods, including a variety of fruits, vegetables, plant-based proteins, and whole grains, is important for fertility. There are many misconceptions about diet and fertility, such as the need to cut out carbs or follow specific diets. It's important to focus on nourishing the body with whole foods. Intuitive eating and cooking skills are valuable in creating a healthy and sustainable approach to nutrition. Diversity in food choices is essential for optimal fertility and overall health. Processed foods can negatively impact fertility, and it's important to prioritize whole foods. The book provides practical tips, recipes, and a six-week blueprint to support a healthy pregnancy journey. Breakfast is an important meal for fertility and overall health. It is best to have a substantial breakfast with protein, fiber, and vegetables. Meal timing is crucial, and it is recommended to have more calories earlier in the day and fewer at night. Combining foods, especially vegetables, can support digestion and nutrient absorption. Stress, sleep, and lifestyle choices have a significant impact on fertility outcomes. Epigenetics plays a role in fertility, and lifestyle choices can influence gene expression. A multidisciplinary approach to fertility treatment, including integrative medicine, can provide comprehensive support. Finding a supportive healthcare team is essential for navigating the fertility journey.   Guest Bio: Judy Simon Judy Simon, MS, RDN, CD, CHES is an award winning registered dietitian nutritionist who specializes in reproductive health.

Angela: Thank you so much. We're excited to be here, Michelle. Michelle: So I'd love for you guys to give a background first. , I'm very excited to be talking about your new book, Getting to Baby. I would love for you first to share your background so people can know more about you and what got you to doing this type of work. Angela: Okay. Sure. I'm a reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist. So first I trained in OBGYN and then specialized in reproductive endocrine and infertility. And then I got board certified in lifestyle medicine. So, which is a more holistic kind of way to look at all healthcare, more of a preventive lens of like, how can we look at lifestyle measures to, you know, really help people in all phases of their life. Angela: And I've always been interested in food, nutrition, exercise. And so over the years, it just became a bigger and[00:01:00] bigger part of my practice. And I've always been interested in obviously hormones, but metabolism and Judy and I started working together at the university of Washington. And we found we had this common interest in really helping women, you know, work together to improve their nutrition and health, which subsequently leads to improvement in their fertility. Michelle: Oh, totally. Judy: And I'm a registered dietitian, as Angela mentioned, and my master's is in community health education. And I sort of went through traditional training, and when I came back and re entered, you know, medicine, gosh, about 20 ish years ago, all of a sudden, PCOS and all these things that I had never really learned about just came front and forward. Judy: And so I was fortunate to connect up with Angela and really do the deep dive into, Hey, what do we know about insulin resistance? How is this affecting fertility? And these were things that traditionally I hadn't been taught. [00:02:00]So really, I think we kind of joined each other's worlds. You know, I joined American Society of Reproductive Medicine and, you know, joined all the fertility docs. Judy: And You know, Angela would come to the nutrition conferences. So we did a lot of cross pollination and from that we went off and both started into private practices and she'd refer these amazing patients and we decided, wow, we're seeing them one at a time. Wouldn't it just be the coolest thing if we could start classes? Judy: So about 12 ish years ago, we started the food for fertility classes where we brought women in who were trying to conceive. Many of them had PCOS, endometriosis. unexplained, lots of different diagnosis. And that's who we brought the food and the people and the lifestyle into the classroom, which is really why we wrote the book. Judy: It's kind of, we took all our years of experience, science and knowledge and said, let's make it accessible to more people. Michelle: That's awesome. And so [00:03:00] talk about the book. What's in the book? And obviously it's for people trying to conceive, getting to baby. What were the top things?  Angela: Yeah. Well, we, we started off by, you know, kind of, we always want people to understand the whys, you know, why this, why that what's the connection, what's the underlying biology and physiology? And then what evidence do we know? A lot of nutritional studies about fertility or observational studies, like they'll a population will be observed and they'll say, okay, people who ate these kinds of diets or these kinds of foods had higher fertility and more successful outcomes than people who ate this kind of diet. Angela: So, you know, we, we want to, wanted to present all that information. So people kind of have background and good knowledge and can kind of say, oh, okay, well. Maybe that would be a good idea for me. You know, it's not, it's, it's a broad spectrum of what, you know, a good diet could look like. It's not just one thing. Angela: Obviously [00:04:00] mainly plant forward. Cause I think we all need to eat more fruits and vegetables and plant based foods. But there is room, you know, for some animal foods too, especially things like fish and whole fat dairy, which have shown to increase some fertility benefits. So, you know, we kind of go through all the food groups and talk about what's, what we, where we have evidence, what's good, what's not so good and what vitamins and minerals and nutrients they're adding. Angela: And then, you know, some of the biggest things that we're like, if you want to incorporate this, it's a really, it's a how to. Right. So we wanted to make it like accessible in this sense that anybody at home could be like, Oh, okay. I, gosh, I just want to add one little thing this week. What would I add? What can, what's my takeaway? Angela: What's my smart goal? So people can kind of set their own goals and try to move forward with that, making a little progress at a time. And then the greatest thing I think is sharing stories from our patients who are just fabulous[00:05:00] women who've been on their own journey. And we had so many stories, we couldn't even share them all in the book. Angela: But kind of telling these journeys that sometimes took months, sometimes took years and how they were able to incorporate changes and see changes in themselves. and feel increased energy and then kind of have improved fertility. Maybe if they had a partner, you know, their partner's health was also improving at the same time. Angela: And so many of them were successful either With natural conception, or if they were infertility treatments, having better success in those treatments and making better quality embryos that we were like, wow, you know, that's really what's in the book. So as much as we could share and keep it accessible and reasonable in length. Angela: That's, that's what the book's about. Michelle: I found it very user friendly and I really enjoyed the image of the plate and how half of it was greens, which is great because I do believe that it's so important to get the greens. And there's so many nutrients that you can get[00:06:00] from that. And you talked about some misconceptions too, like on treating PCOS and like common misconceptions on what to eat for fertility. Michelle: So I'd love to touch upon that. Judy: Yeah, well, one of the things that we tried to bring out in the book is when we first started doing our classes, a lot of the reasons women would be referred to us as we'll just go lose weight. So nothing, you know, focusing on their health and we're like, Oh no, no, no, this is not a weight loss class. Judy: This is totally about how to nourish yourself. And actually. Take away the shame and guilt in, you know, whatever size body you have being able to get the benefits of the nutrition and the lifestyle. Right? So, for example there's a lot of people that would come in with a whole list of foods that they thought they shouldn't eat because somebody told them that. Judy: And we're like, well, are you allergic to them? No. Well, okay, you know, here's a safe And that's what we tried to do in the [00:07:00] book. Like showing in all these different, you know, sure, maybe you can't tolerate dairy. Here's a sub, here's something else you can, you can place out so that everybody would feel included, that anybody could be in the classes, read the book and really get the benefit out of it. Judy: So when, when you talk about myths, probably the biggest one is, you know so many women are told cut out carbs. Cut out carbs and we're like, Oh no. Well, what's in whole grains and ancient grains. We know those inositols we hear about in PCOS. Guess where they come from? White beans, buckwheat. So we're saying where can you get these ancient grains are just so filled with minerals and also really showing that looking at the quality of carbs that you're choosing most of the time is actually going to be beneficial. Judy: And this is kind of relief for women to hear like, I don't have to starve myself. I get to eat and try new things. Michelle: Yeah. That's such a good point. And also, cause a [00:08:00] lot of times when people have carbs, it's simple carbs or juices where you're taking basically, even if it's fresh juices, like we're really meant to have the whole fruit, right? The fiber like, and digest it slowly so that it's not a sugar spike. I'd love for you to talk about that too, the importance of, of actually having the whole food. Angela: Yeah, we definitely talk about kind of it being a whole food diet because that is so important and The issue with I mean, yes, you can get some of the nutrients if you juice But you're also gonna get mainly sugar without the fiber if you've removed the fiber. So the fiber is so important both to slow down your digestion and really pay attention to gut health. Angela: And I know you focus a lot on gut health. You know, that's where so much of our health overall starts. And there's so many connections between the gut and the mind and the body and the hormones and everything else, every, every system. And so, having that [00:09:00] fiber in your diet, really from whole foods. I mean, especially plant based foods, right? Angela: Because animal foods don't have fiber, but the plant based foods really then is is great food for the microbiomes, the microbiome, our microbiome and the bacteria, the 3 trillion bacteria that live in our gut. And it helps create, you know, it's more anti inflammatory because so many people kind of can get. Angela: almost a chronic inflammation from not eating enough fiber, not feeding their microbiome. And then that can lead to more issues in more body systems that they may not even be aware of. But nobody is, you know, advertising whole foods, like whole foods. So much of what people see and kind of the noise that feeds in is just, you know, everything else that's marketed in a box or a bag or somebody. Angela: And so that's what, and so sometimes those help people put health claims on other products that [00:10:00] aren't whole foods and then whole foods kind of get neglected. And so, yeah, we definitely want to say, you know, it's important. And we talk about eating the rainbow and the colors because each colors, providing different phytonutrients. Angela: And so, you know, you want that broad range because the more diversity you have in your fruits and vegetables, the more diverse a microbiome you're going to develop, the better protection for your immune system and just make everything else work better in your whole body. Michelle: I love that you talk about diversity because actually a lot of people end up developing sensitivities even if it's healthy food that they eat all the time and it's important to have diversity because it really allows the body to get so many different benefits and also not get too intolerant of one specific thing. Michelle: The body likes diversity. Judy: Absolutely. And we really wanted people to feel inclusive with the book. So that's why there's so much [00:11:00]culinary medicine, like just basic skills. Here's how you can throw something together without even a recipe, you know, just really, you know, five steps to a great salad. What should it have, you know, different things like that. Judy: And we also wanted it to really highlight the, All the global cuisines. And so for example I see a large population of South Asian women, right? And so there's, there, there always were like their diets too high in carbs. And we talked about what are all the wonderful things that herbs that you're using, the dolls, you know, the pulses, but we tried to make sure we had things from all regions because unfortunately a lot of people here in the medical world, like, Oh, just eat the Mediterranean diet. Judy: We're like, Oh no, no, no way. That that's so exclusive. It's not inclusive. We want to talk about, you know, foods from, you know, West Africa or Central America, a lot of the indigenous healthy foods, and then also what's seasonally available. And so one of the things that we really tried to [00:12:00]share is a lot of different types of foods. Judy: Simple preparation, but let people start where they're comfortable. So if you're a chef that only has three or four recipes and you're still sort of using some are processed foods, maybe they'll start with adding a soup or adding some vegetable dishes or adding a salad and letting them know you're going to get benefits from those first steps. Judy: Because some people feel like, like I just talked to someone, she goes, I'm trying to be all in, you know, trying to be perfect. Do you know what I mean? Michelle: Yeah, Judy: And that's stressful. It's stressful to feel like you're getting a grade on your diet. And we want people to feel like it's fun. They're having a date night with their partner and maybe they're trying a new recipe in the book. Judy: Or they got inspired because there is a lot of pressure when people are trying to conceive. And the book is also for those people who are like, Hey, we want to get pregnant in the next year. What's the path to a healthy pregnancy? We have no idea how long it's going to take, but [00:13:00] what's going to prepare us? Judy: And you know, Michelle, that like 50 percent of pregnancies are unplanned. So a lot of people, you know, maybe they're exposed to a lot of those fertility disruptors, and if they would have known even a few months in advance, they could have decreased some of the risks, you know that could impact their fertility and pregnancy. Michelle: definitely. I remember seeing something, it was about a burger or like a chicken sandwich or something. It was a sandwich with a bun that the woman just kept in her closet and just saw what happened and it was not, it was not good. Breaking down and I'm like, whoa That is crazy. Like things are supposed to break down if they don't break down and they don't yeah Just break down like what happens in your body So talk about the importance of eating whole foods. Michelle: Listen, we're going to have processed food once in a while. It's not like, you know, end all be all like, it's not one thing or another, obviously, [00:14:00] but talk about the importance of really being intentional about choosing more whole foods in your diet.  Angela: Well, you know, I do think, I think that everybody's so different in what they eat, but I think that, yeah, the ultra processed foods and processed grains, so like breads, cereals, pastas, Anything it's just so it it's everywhere, right? It's it's you can't get away from it and it's become normalized And it and so it has become acceptable and ordinary And the problem with those foods is yeah, you don't need to say i'm not never going to eat that again But it replaces it, you know, it takes the place of whole foods. Angela: And so I think you know Where do you get whole foods? Well, it's hard to get whole foods You You know if you're eating If you're buying foods at convenience stores or fast food restaurants or even regular restaurants Sometimes i'm surprised that menus don't have Kind of like more vegetables available when we talk about the fertility plate[00:15:00] and the whole plate being half Vegetables, right? Angela: You're not going to get that in a restaurant, like the restaurant usually. So, you know, we, we have talked to women, we didn't really talk about this that much in the book, but like, I think some of the women gave us examples of, you know, planning when you go to a restaurant, gosh, what can I eat from this menu that would be more of a whole food, what are the, sometimes the side vegetables are something they'll order from some of those things to say like, yeah, I don't need to necessarily go for the most. Indulgent luxurious meal. I want to go for the whole foods cause I know that's what my body needs. So we talk about being intuitive eater or competent eater. It, you know, I don't think this is taught well in schools. So, you know, to, to be honest, nobody, it's nobody's fault. Like where you are, it's a growth opportunity for everybody to be like, Hey, I didn't really get this education growing up. Angela: My parents worked. I didn't, you know, I didn't cook that much growing up, but now I'm an adult. And I need to really learn about [00:16:00] nutrition and what my body needs and how to heal myself through food. And what that might mean is I need to cook more. And if I don't know how to cook more with whole foods, You know, there's opportunities to learn. Angela: There's so much now available on YouTube, or that's both good and not so good, but you know, you can find the good, the good things and learn to cook with whole foods and buy things like our book, which are trying to teach people almost some intuitive cooking skills. Cause you don't always want to be cooking from a recipe. Angela: You want to get some basic staples and some comfort in the kitchen and some things you really are good at, and then always build new and add new. Okay. But yeah, so that was like one of the tenants of our philosophy of how we taught was, let's talk about, you know, building a meal. Let's talk about what vegetables are going to be in the meal, what protein is going to be in the meal. Angela: And for us, that was mainly going to be a [00:17:00] plant based protein. So either beans, lentils. tofu or tempeh or edamame, so a soy based protein, or fish, since all of those have been shown to increase fertility. And then whole grains, those ancient grains, so not processed and kind of putting that all together and nuts and seeds and other things that provide those denser nutrients. Angela: And really starting with like cutting things up, like, okay, let's prep everything. Let's do the mise en place. Let's get everything ready. Let's plan meals. So you're going to have leftovers. because it takes work and effort. You don't want to put all that effort in and then only eat once. So you want to have some leftover meals that you can repurpose throughout the week or free some of these meals that you're going to be able to then thaw out next week or next month when you're more time pressed, and you know, you've got your own freezer meal that you've prepared that you're going to be able to thaw out and cook and have a nutritious, delicious, quick meal, right? Angela: So it's just a, I think it's a mindset, right? [00:18:00] It's a different way to think. And, and everybody can get there and just build that knowledge and build those skills. And that's exciting. Michelle: It is exciting. I find that whenever you're learning something new, like you, you make it more complicated in your mind. You're like, oh, I have to do this whole thing. But you don't realize, like as you learn it, you could really strategize and make it so much easier and cheaper. You could save money that way. Judy: Absolutely. Michelle, you bring up a really good point. And what's really fun is a lot of the women who've taken classes or patients of ours, like even after like two years after they have their baby, I'll get an email. You know, I saved all those recipes from class and I still love the, you know, the quinoa mango black bean salad. Judy: It's so delicious in the summer. I take it to parties or one patient just wrote me about the soca bread made out of chickpeas that they start to add them to their repertoire or you want to increase their self efficacy, their confidence and their competency. And then when they do eat out, you know, maybe [00:19:00] they do broaden and they, you know, they go for an Indian meal or an Asian meal and they know like, Hey, I'm going to order one whole vegetarian. Judy: So I get more broccoli and veggies like they know how to order and feel good. When they go out or they travel, you know, how can I take that and keep it better? And, you know, just really, you know, giving them that support. And so in the book, for some people, this is really new. We kind of do like a six week blueprint, but we also say like, If you feel pretty good on some of the skills and you've checked the box, awesome. Judy: Work on some of those things that you, you want to build up stronger in your repertoire. And if you feel like you need more time, I remember when our class switched to virtual and we started to go to every other week, the women were like, this is kind of good because I have more time to work on my goals. Judy: I kind of like that other, remember the every other week model? You could do that with a six week plan. Maybe I'm going to try to do this over twelve weeks, you know, three months, give myself some time to To try new things.[00:20:00] And the thing is you're getting the benefit with every step you take. There's a benefit, you know? Judy: And so the cool thing for us is sometimes at the end of the class, women who didn't eat in the morning, they like. You know, we started eating in the morning because of class and the food was really good. They started regulating their cycles, Michelle. It was amazing. And one of our last live classes before COVID, I remember one table of four, they were all kind of waiting to get their cycles and things and getting ready for IVF. Judy: And they all went on to conceive. They all got their cycles and went on to conceive. And that was just, the cost of food and, you know, putting a little bit of time in so that lifestyle does make a difference whether someone's going for art treatment or they're, you know, they're, you know, they're just maximizing their fertility options. Michelle: Yeah, there was actually a study on girls in college that skipped breakfast and how it impacted their cycles I thought that was interesting[00:21:00] Judy: I would guess negatively. I'm thinking if Michelle: Negatively, yes negatively. Yeah. Yeah, Judy: You know, I just want to check. Michelle: They most of them started regular and it they became irregular. Judy: You know, and people are getting into a lot of fads where they're really time boxing their food. I just talked to someone in a smaller body and she says, I'm trying to eat clean. So I only eat between this time and this time. I go, Michelle: Mm hmm Judy: you should eat when you're hungry. Your body needs nourishment all day, not just eight hours. Judy: So sometimes we see people that are going to overboard. And they're restricting, and then their reproductive axis is not getting the nutrients it needs. And I'm like, that's not what you want to do for ag health. That's not what you want to do for reproductive health. If you feel cold at night and you're, and, and you know, and as we know with, you know, acupuncture and Chinese medicine, energy is such an important concept. Judy: So if you're freezing all of a sudden, and you're starving [00:22:00] yourself, you're not nourishing your body. Michelle: Absolutely. And actually in Ayurvedic medicine, they say that when the sun is out, that is when, because we, you know, we, we respond to the elements. And when the sun is out, especially like around 12 PM, you should have your largest meal because it increases your own digestive fire because we get influenced by nature. Michelle: And actually the morning you should have breakfast, you should have food during the day when the digestive fire is. Increase the most and when you shouldn't is as it gets darker like a couple hours before you go to sleep That's when you can give your body a break. So it kind of According to Ayurveda, it's a little bit more flipped than what's typically done where people skip breakfast. Angela: Right. And, and, you know, that, that exactly parallels some of the metabolic studies, right? So what Ayurvedic medicine is known for so long, right? And then Western medicine has to come and prove it that like our digestion is[00:23:00] better in the morning and the way glucose and, and. nutrients are processed in the morning is better when we have more energy and we're more active throughout the day. Angela: And then at night, things are winding down and slowing down and you want your body to relax for sleep and not be digesting a big meal. And, and we do talk about that, but it is really hard for people to flip to try and get more calories and earlier in the day when fewer at night when the typical pattern is, is the opposite. Michelle: and it's going to give them a lot more productivity and energy to have a good breakfast because you know, protein, you got those good fiber and vegetables and berries and, really start your day right. Judy: We encourage people if they're really set in a way, we're like, we'll do it as an experiment. Be curious. Try it on the weekend. Maybe try it on the weekend because you don't want to change your flow. See how your energy feels, especially when people are telling us they're fatigued. Judy: They're like, I'm so tired. And it's [00:24:00] like, and most of their energy intake is at night. They wake up not hungry. You know, we do try, you know, try to flip that around and that's part of that intuitive eating and eating competence and see where your body, because really people know a lot about their body and so we want them to be in tune to that too and trust that. Angela: And I was just going to add that, you know, sometimes people have these ideas of what a typical breakfast, lunch, and dinner is and what food should be part of those meals. And we say, Hey, that does not have to be the case either. I love a breakfast salad. I love eating my leftover dinner from the night before for breakfast. Angela: If I've made something delicious, I made this great stir fry and I've had a little bit because it's late, but I'm like, I want to have that for breakfast. I'm going to have a big bowl, you know, so I love having those other things early in the day because I do feel like it gives me great energy. And then the other thing that we talk about is, you know, the[00:25:00] walking after meals and especially getting outside early in the morning and getting that sunlight to really Start your day and, and get your clock going and how important those rhythms can be to recognize that you have, your body has a rhythm, sleep consistency is important, exercise and movement throughout the day is important, all these other things that we want to build in, you know, to our base for overall wellness to support fertility. Michelle: Yeah. I love it. I love it that you're a doctor and you're interested in this because unfortunately it's not as common. Like people don't know about all of these things about really connecting with nature and the nutrition aspect of it. So it's amazing. It's so well rounded because you have like so many different backgrounds and perspectives on Judy: We, we, we, yeah, we try to bring it all together and that's why this book would have been much longer if our publisher didn't say stop, you know, it was like twice as long. You'll see when you're writing your book, you want to share everything. And so we did include [00:26:00] two chapters on like boosters and disruptors, you know, talking about stress and sleep. Judy: And then also some of the disruptors like, you know, alcohol, cannabis, endocrine disruptors, because we didn't want to scare people, but we felt they needed to know. And you know, science based, evidence based, but we did put it at the end. You know, we really focus on the food and feeding yourself because really that's what our program is all about. Judy: But we find that when they put it all together and they get to those boosters and they add the movement and the stress and so many of our patients, patients who do acupuncture will say, well, that's one of the ways I always say, what do you get out of it? Cause I always want to know. And they go, Oh man, I'm such a good place to do. Judy: I leave in my stress level is so much better. I go, then that's something you want to include in, in, in what you're doing for your health. If you have the privilege and you have the accessibility to it. So we, we try to make everything accessible. Because there's so [00:27:00] many women and men who don't have access to medical care when it comes to fertility. Judy: It's really the underprivileged do not have access or such limited access that we thought if we could at least cover the main things and it could be, you know, available in libraries or, you know, things like that and audio books that that would be a way that more people could really have that information. Michelle: Well, it's great information. And also, I love that it talks about. combining foods, in Chinese medicine, we have a lot of formulas of herbs. So each herbal formula has different herbs and they work together as a symphony. And a lot of times they'll include ginger or digestive herbs to help assimilate. Michelle: So working together, And a certain symphony is what makes it that much more beneficial for the body. And I like how you talk about the importance of combining foods. You were talking about putting [00:28:00] vegetables because if you just eat meat without vegetables, it's not going to be able to simulate as well and digest as well without those vegetables helping in that fiber. Angela: Right. The vegetables are actually pretty protective, right? So I mean, there, you know, there have been studies that look at people who eat just more of an all meat diet and then people who eat more of a vegetable based diet, but with meat and the gut is healthier, right? If you incorporate those vegetables the, the, because the fiber from the vegetables is so protective. Angela: That then you are able to digest the, the meat and make use of the nutrients in the meat as well. So I think that's, that's great advice. And I think that, you know, out here we're in Seattle. And so we have a lot of, you know, we have a number of people who are trained in acupuncture. They are, you know, trained in traditional Chinese medicine. Angela: And we have always basically said, you know, gosh, I don't know that area, [00:29:00] but I trust. The practitioners in my area who knows so much this has been around for so long that let's, you know, combine and talk about the best of all worlds and support everybody's health. And then the same with fertility clinics, like some people really are going to need that extra step of a traditional IVF clinic. Angela: They might need insemination. They might need IVF. And then all these other things are going to be supportive and enhance their success because it's so expensive. And the last thing you want to have to do is multiple cycles. And so the more efficient you can make each cycle by bringing your best self forward into the process and taking the time, like a lot of people, you know, want to kind of take a lot of time to get to a fertility clinic. Angela: And then once they get there, they want IVF yesterday. Like they want to be pregnant yesterday. So And it's still really about the time and the investment in, [00:30:00] you know, producing optimum health for you and your partner. And so that, you know, it might take a good three months, right? Of preparation to say, let's make sure when you do IVF, if you need IVF and you're going to do it, that everything's perfect. Angela: As great as you can make it going into the cycle instead of just like, Oh, there's an opening next week. Let's get started. You know Michelle: I wish all reproductive endocrinologists spoke like you Angela: Oh, yeah. Thank Judy: she, and she, and she walks the walk, you know, for all the patients we've had together. A lot of times after that initial consult, she'd be like, okay, I want you to do, you know, food for fertility and work on nutrition and lifestyle for three months. You know, let's see, you know, what we can do with some of these biomarkers that are, that are elevated in a very positive way. Judy: And then quite often during that three months, a woman starts cycling. I always, I remember saying to Angela once years ago, I go, What if you put the [00:31:00] fertility clinics out of business? I mean, we were kidding, you know, when I said that they have the role. So please don't think I'm saying that, but you know, we did. Judy: And she's like, great. She was like, wonderful. Let's help people on the easiest journey. Let's not, you know, when someone gets sent to me and they've already had three failed IVFs. for whatever reason. And they're like, okay, I want to work on my nutrition. I'm so happy to work with them, but I feel really bad because they're pretty wounded because they've been pretty disappointed and let down. Judy: And sometimes it was something obvious that nobody ever brought up, you know, their eating disorder, their PCOS, that things could have been optimized first. So I think that's where we all work together. So I feel like that's why when you work in integrative planning, You know, practices. We, we work with, you know, fertility yoga instructors that we really trust and, and, and, and D's and dietitians and, and, you know, we know which clinics are going to be weight shaming, you know, we want to know [00:32:00] where can our patients put the best team together, where can they get support groups from resolve or other organizations so that they feel as fully supported as they go on this journey, because a lot of people, Never expected this. Judy: They just, I went through unexplained infertility for years. Never thought that was in the bags for me, but it was like. You know, you feel helpless. So having a community, and I think when we all work together interdisciplinary, you know, and we know the best people to send our patients to, or best organizations, or how to check, we really help them. Judy: We really, we really can help. So we're excited about you, you know, your future book. Yes. I mean, you know, I was just coming first, but yeah, looking for resources is so important, Michelle. Angela: And I, right. And I think, you know, those resources are great. And then also if somebody is seeing somebody and it's not clicking. You know, it could be it could be their doctor. It could be their [00:33:00] dietitian. It could be whatever They you don't have to stay with the same person. You can actually go get another opinion you might You know, click better and work better with someone else who Has different information even it's not all the same. Angela: So each of us don't necessarily provide the same information or You know, it's an art and a science and I think we all feel that that we connect with people It's so important, but we all connect differently And and as an individual each person should really You Make the most of that and, and really make that work for them. Angela: They're the ones they're invested in it. Michelle: That is so true. Absolutely true. I've seen people who have been going for years to one reproductive endocrinologist and then when they changed different approach, different energy, just like, and it was a different outcome, Angela: Yep. Michelle: you know, it happens.  Judy: And if you make a change, [00:34:00] no one's mad at you. We all want the same end result. I always tell them all the clinics in this town, they're all friends. They all know each other, you know, professionally, they all know each other. They're going to send your charts. Judy: They're not going to hold them back. You know, everybody does want a positive outcome, you know, to take place. Michelle: Yeah. Yeah. That's great. I mean you know, not always the case, , but when it is, it's amazing, and it's true you really do have to find that alignment and I always say, you know, it takes a village and creating a team of different people that can support you in different ways. Michelle: When going through this, but of course nutrition is so important in Chinese Judy: We all eat. Michelle: Yeah, we all eat and we eat for a reason a good reason, right? Angela: Mm hmm. Michelle: And the spleen and stomach are actually the center and they're like the mother in a sense, you know the nurturer Aspect of our bodies and that is really where everything else gets built they [00:35:00] talk about pre heaven chi pre heaven energy in the kidneys And of course the kidneys are really important But sustenance, the energy with which we can sustain and increase after our genetics is food, Angela: Right. And I think, you know, that's just kind of being understood. I mean, I think in science, Yeah. We now are recognizing, you know, there's genetics, and then there's epigenetics, which is how the genes are expressed and the epigenetics is how we influence which genes are expressed. And that has to do with our nutrition, our stress. Angela: Our sleep, our movement, our community, our mental disposition, our mental health, our optimism. All these things have a huge impact in our health by the epigenetics. And I think people sometimes think it's just genetics and things are. A predetermined and it's going to be one way and it's totally [00:36:00] not. You have so much influence as a, as an individual about what path your life can take and how your health is affected by these decisions you make every day. Michelle: which is so empowering, I think, to know that you actually can have a hand in your Angela: Mm hmm.  Judy: , I was just thinking we almost wanted to add a whole another chapter on epigenetics, but we had to pull it back. So we just kind of sprinkled it in, you know, the lifestyle things. But even when we work with people who are using donor eggs, their health will have an impact on these epigenetics. So that really empowering that mom, you are the full mom, you know, even with a donor egg, what you eat, your life, your health. Judy: Is going to have an impact on your baby. And I think that really helps people to know that Michelle: That is such a good point. It's really true because it's, it's all important. It's all parts of the [00:37:00] whole.  That's where you do have control right over your lifestyle. And these some of these decisions because you don't always have control over your fertility. I mean, certain aspects are just out of your control, and you do feel that helplessness. Angela: And so I think where you can feel good and feel empowered is, you know, these are the actions I can take. These are the steps I can take. I am making progress. I am growing as a person. I'm helping myself. I'm helping my community. Whatever the case may be, I try to recommend not kind of losing yourself in just trying to get pregnant. Angela: Really recognize your, yourself as a whole person and all the things you are providing to, to your community through purpose and service and love and, and everything you're doing is just, it's key to who you are and it brings you strength and peace. And that's just really [00:38:00] Great to know and you, those are decisions you can make. Angela: That's not something out of your control. Michelle: That's so important. And thank you for bringing that up and you guys, I could talk to you guys for hours cause you know what, you know what I love? Well, first of all, your knowledge, you guys are very knowledgeable about what you're talking about, but the passion , and the compassion. With which you are operating  Michelle: I think we both have one major thing in common is that we love this community and it's a beautiful community to serve. And so for people who want to find you or read your book, how can they find you? Judy: Well, the book is available at all major books, booksellers and many of the independent ones request it getting to baby book.com. It will be released April 9th. So I'm not sure when this is released, but April 9th will be released. It can be pre-ordered. You can follow me at Fertile Nutrition or on my website, mindbody nutrition.com [00:39:00] and Angela. Angela: And you can also request the book from your library. So libraries don't automatically stock books, but if individuals make a request to a library, the library can order the book. So that's something to know as well. And then I'm at AngelaThiremd. com or at AngelaThiremd on Instagram. Michelle: Awesome. It was such a pleasure meeting the two of you. You guys are so nice and so knowledgeable and just really lovely to talk to. So thank you so much for coming on the podcast today. Angela: Thank you, Michelle. Judy: Michelle. Thanks, Michelle. Angela: to you as well.

In this episode, Dr. Kelsey interviews Judy Simon and Angela Thyer, who have been providing fertility care and teaching food for fertility classes for over a decade. They discuss the importance of an integrative approach to fertility, combining both natural and medical methods. The conversation covers topics such as the impact of cooking classes on the fertility journey, the three principles of a fertility promoting diet, the role of fruit and vegetables in fertility, and ways to incorporate foods you may never have tried before. Angela and Judy co-authored a book, Getting to Baby, which provides evidence-based information on fertility-promoting diets and offers practical tips for enhancing fertility through nutrition and lifestyle choices.   Conversation Highlights: How an integrative approach that combines natural and medical methods is important for fertility care. A fertility promoting diet includes principles such as anti-inflammatory eating, high fiber, and antioxidants. Fruits and vegetables play a crucial role in fertility, providing essential nutrients and antioxidants. Fish is a valuable addition to a fertility diet, and it can be incorporated through various cooking methods. Find a balance in exercise by understanding exercise zones and avoiding over-exercising. Beware of the dangers of under-eating and over-exercising, as they can negatively impact fertility.

We launch our sixth season with Tamara Lorincz, environmental and feminist peace activist and Linda Thyer, founding member of Doctors for Planetary Health - West Coast and a discussion on the interconnected impacts of war and occupation on both people and planet, the costs of Canadian militarism and our involvement in NATO and the possibilities for global cooperation, peace, and climate justice in times of conflict.  Reflecting on the twin impacts of conflict on climate in Gaza and Ukraine, Lorincz says: “The Middle Eastern region has suffered from drought and from excessive heat. This genocide in Gaza is just horrendous for the people and it's exacerbating the climate emergency as well. These fossil fuel powered weapon systems that Israel is using, not just fighter jets, but attack helicopters and tanks.And the fact that Canada took over two and a half months for us finally to support a ceasefire, but we've been continuing to send weapons … we're prolonging the genocide and we are contributing to a climate emergency. Canada is doing the same thing in Eastern Europe by continuing to send arms to Ukraine. We're prolonging a conflict instead of calling for a ceasefire …We are contributing to human suffering, to a lot of death and destruction and contributing to the  environmental harms.”  Thyer says of our military spending: “Canadian military spending around $36 billion per year recently. So this is a massive amount of money, could certainly be much better … used to mitigate climate problems, used in new technology ... And could be used to help recoveries internationally as well as locally from these extreme weather events that we're seeing. In some of these war zones, people are being conscripted against their will to fighting. In Canada, our conscription is through our taxes that we are paying for this militarism, for the harms that are being done to the planet and to other people through our taxes every year.” About today's guests:  Tamara Lorincz is a PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School for International Affairs at Wilfrid Laurier University.

How much does what we eat impact our fertility? Certainly food influences pregnancy and fertility much more than most of us know, possibly more than our doctors know! Fortunately, a book is coming that can change all that, and in this episode, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking with the authors about fertility, food, nutrition, the science of food and fertility, the myths surrounding nutrition and reproduction (hint: it's NOT all about BMI), and so much more. Dr. Angela Thyer is a reproductive endocrinologist and Judy Simon is a registered dietitian and reproductive health nutritionist in Seattle, and together they've written Getting to Baby: A Food-First Fertility Plan to Improve Your Odds and Shorten Your Time to Pregnancy.  Getting to Baby is a deep dive into choosing the right foods to reduce inflammation and support a healthy body; eating to support conception, healthy pregnancy, and IVF treatments; and actually enjoying shopping, cooking, and eating.

In this conversation, we will examine the concept and the reality of psychological burnout among Paramedics. The effects of burnout are estimated to cost over $300 billion annually, with the WHO forecasting a burnout pandemic in the next decade. Within pre-hospital organisations, burnout can generate reduced quality, high absenteeism, increased turnover rates and substandard productivity. In the conversation, we examine the definition of burnout, the factors that increase the risk of burnout, models of burnout, the symptoms of burnout, possible mitigation strategies to avoid burnout, some of the emergent themes from the research and much more. To do this I have Liz Thyer with me. Liz is an Associate Professor in the WSU Paramedicine program and Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) for the School of Health Sciences.  She was an advanced life support paramedic with Ambulance Victoria for 11 years including roles as a clinical instructor and peer support officer. She has previously worked at Victoria University with the Paramedic programs and at Deakin University in Learning Futures.  She is an active member of the Australasian College of Paramedicine and is the inaugural chair of the ACP Professional Standards Committee.

Too many practices are “suffocating in their own workflow”, says the head of accounting at Intuit QuickBooks, Shaye Thyer, but too many keep doing things the hard way. Speaking on the latest Accountants Daily podcast, Ms Thyer said a recent Intuit QuickBooks roadshow had revealed the surprising extent to which practices tolerated unnecessary burdens, such as re-keying data, simply from inertia. “I still wonder what's in the way because I know that's not just reserved to our customers that we work with this. Accounting firms all over the country use a variety of tools – it's not because they only use one platform, they use different platforms – so they're aware of lots of options that could help them.”

On today's episode, Bruce Thyer, a Distinguished Research Professor from Florida State University, joins the podcast to discuss the negative implications of pseudoscientific theories within MSW programs and practices. In this episode Bruce Thyer explains pseudoscience and the history behind such concepts. We discussed the obstacles in addressing pseudoscientific beliefs regarding biopsychosocial assessments and their emphasis on cultural sensitivity. Lastly, Bruce Thyer offers suggestions on how to challenge pseudoscientific claims being promoted by academic authorities.

An outdated approach to pricing means accountants have fallen behind other professions and continue to be paid inappropriately for the work they do, according to the head of accounting at Intuit QuickBooks, Shaye Thyer. The latest data on pay from recruiter Seek — which shows accounting salaries rising slightly ahead of the pack — was good news and overdue. “I absolutely celebrate that accountant salaries are increasing above average,” said Ms Thyer on this week's Accountants Daily podcast. “I think this is a correction – I think this has been coming for so many years.” She said the problem stemmed from an overdue reliance on pricing by the hour. “It's so limiting — it doesn't reflect the value of what we're doing whatsoever.  “I don't know what the exact answer is, but I would love to see some more thinking around the way we structure these things because at the end of the day, we do need to pay our accountants better. And we will need to figure out a way to make that work commercially.”

COVID put a rocket into technological adoption among accountants but too many practices are their own worst enemies when it comes to change, says the head of accounting at Intuit Quickbooks, Shaye Thyer. Speaking on this week's Accountants Daily podcast – Ms Thyer, a finalist in this year's Australian Accounting Awards – said that cloud computing was a lifesaver for the industry but decision-making in many larger firms was too cumbersome to benefit. “One of the biggest things that's standing in the way of real innovation in our industry is just this lack of decision agility across the mid-tier…  get out of our own way, seriously!” Ms Thyer said.

[DC2020] Session 3 - Discipleship in a Secular Age | Jordan Thyer (2020.08.16) by Faith Community Church (Perth)

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.30.228981v1?rss=1 Authors: Foster, J. J., Thyer, W., Wennberg, J. W., Awh, E. Abstract: Spatial attention shapes stimulus-evoked neural activity, boosting response amplitudes of neurons and shifting the size and position of their visual receptive fields. However, relatively little is known about how attention shapes sensory population codes, even though perception ultimately depends on population activity. Here, we measured the electroencephalogram (EEG) in human observers, and isolated stimulus-evoked activity that was phase-locked to the onset of attended and ignored visual stimuli. Using a spatial encoding model, we reconstructed population tuning functions from the topography of evoked activity across the scalp. We found that spatial attention boosted the amplitude of spatially tuned population responses within 100 ms of stimulus onset. Moreover, parametric variation of stimulus contrast revealed that this effect of attention increased with stimulus contrast, suggesting that attention increases the response gain of spatial population codes during the first wave of visual processing.

I'm your host, Patricia.   [00:01:30] And today I'm elated to be sitting down with Casey, but she is a YouTube channel content creator and she's also photographer. You can find out more about her efforts and everything we talk about today on her Web site. It is C dash bud dot com. Welcome, Casey.   [00:01:47] Hi. Thank you for having me. Hello. Hello.   [00:01:50] Hi. I'm so excited. I love talking with the YouTube channel and content creators and people who are really prolific because it's a it's a very vibrant back and forth. And so I'm excited to unpack everything. You've got such an amazing amount of content out there. And I love what you're doing and how you've tied your enterprise of fasting and breath work and everything that you are together. And so I can't wait to unpack that with you. No one is ever watching and listening. I'm going to give you a quick roadmap for today's podcast. It's going to follow the same trajectory as a lot of these in this series. So I'll first look at unpacking Casey's history with academic backgrounds and occupational life to kind of garner a platform of who she is as a person. Then we'll look at unpacking her history and story with fasting personally as well as professionally. And then we're also going to look towards cases, enterprise, attaching, fasting or accompanying it with things like breath work and things that she uses regularly and has become very well known for. I'll also ask her to define terms as they are for her. Liquid arean fasting, all of these things that people have different definitions for in their own life. And then we'll do a bunch of rapid fire questions for people who've written in wanting me to kind of inquire to specific areas of fasting as they relate to Casey. But before we get to all of that, a quick bio on Casey before I start peppering her with questions. Casey Budd, originally born in an uninspiring small town in New Jersey, is now creating free freely and living naturally in Atlanta, Georgia. She's a content creator managing her self-titled business, C Bud, which involves every aspect of her creativity. She currently creates content on her YouTube channel focused on holistic and spiritual healing. Her travels of extensive passport stamps and finding thrift stores gems to embrace her lifestyle to an audience of around 50,000 thousand subscribers. She's no stranger to the camera and has been shooting photography for at least eight years as well. In addition, she is a breath work facilitator and hosts one on one video chat in person breath sessions with individuals around the world. She has been living a product lifestyle for over a year and has dedicated herself to the power of the breath and sharing it with others. Breath work has really been a gift that she has discovered and trusted in completely allowing it to completely transform, transform her overall presence and perspective of life. Which is why she is so eager to share with extensive research and Prunty Yama and fasting detoxing techniques. She is known for assisting others in tuning into their inner peace and thriving within it. Whether it's connecting with the breath or blogging a day in the life, Casey thrives on any opportunity that allows her to freely express herself creatively and naturally. So here's a love that that that bio, as is so perfectly I have to say. After I researched, you and my team did it so perfectly. You and I love describes everything about your practices and the work that you do. And I want to get into that. But before we do that, I'm hoping that you can kind of describe to for me your academic background and professional life so that we can kind of garner a sense that, like what brought you to launching your company?   [00:05:17] Yeah, sure. It's actually kind of funny to answer that question, because, like a year ago, I wasn't doing any of the things that I'm doing right now. Like, not even close to it. So just to rewind a bit, I went to University of Tampa for college and I went for advertising and public relations. Graduated there in 2016 and kind of had the plan of like following the steps of life and getting a job. And I was supposed to work as a marketing photographer for this company down in Tampa and things didn't work out. And just finding how life always does that. You, like, really heartbroken in the moment, but it's like this whole redirection that I'm so glad happened. And to make a kind of long story short, once I didn't get that job. I kind of took the entrepreneur route and I was like, OK, I do this YouTube thing. I was doing it as a hobby before in college. I was just kind of like something for fun. And then I was like, OK, people do this and I buy houses and cars and I can live, you know, freely. And it was always kind of just like a struggle back and forth between this entrepreneur and professional life and like following the steps of life, but also like knowing that I kind of always was an independent kind of creative.   [00:06:33] And so eventually ended up moving to Atlanta, Georgia. One of my best friends from high school lived here. So kind of just like timed out perfect. We ended up moving in together and working odd jobs. But I think when I finally moved here, I was kind of like a new chapter and I really just like drove into YouTube. Things I learned in college definitely like helped. And I applied and like building my brand. But overall, it was definitely more of just like my personal growth as a person. And like spiritually, I think, like, the more I get comfortable with myself, it got easier to express myself online. And then that chance. No, I think that became more transparent to my audience. I also got involved with, like social media marketing, which is something at one point I was chasing and running and trying to make happen for so long. I wanted to create my own agency. And it's just funny. Within the past year, since incorporating this lifestyle of chronic living in the breath work and all of these things we mentioned, all of these things just seem to found me like for the longest I wanted fifty thousand subscribers.   [00:07:36] For the longest I wanted the creative agency and I thought I'd have all these degrees. Once I started learning the breath, I was like, it would be so cool to start teaching the breath. And all of those things I can say fully right now, just like found me a yoga studio. I reached out to me. They wanted me to teach breath work. I started to do the one on ones my own. I just through my research and through my own learning. My oldest brother is who introduced me to breastwork. He's studied it for a very, very long time. So in a sense, he's kind of like a mentor and then social media, like, I guess as my attraction started to grow people's out of reach out to me to manage their Instagram and their Facebook. And now I have like five to six clients. And I like I guess I have the agency I always wanted. And it's just funny how we like you might think how something's going to look. It's completely not like I just sit fifty thousand subscribers and it's just there was a day there was times when I was looking at that so heavily every day and now it's like, oh it just happens when you just start to like move from a different space of like love instead of lack, you know, instead of like chasing it and wanting it and expecting an outcome, just kind of like doing it from like, I just really love to do this. So it's funny. I don't always know if it's necessary, like a professional background I have, but I think it's more so just like a dedication I have to my practice and to my work that created it to be its own business and stand on its own two feet. It's just it just didn't look or go how I thought it would go at all. But I'm really happy it all worked out.   [00:09:07] And when I researched your story and kind of who you are.   [00:09:11] Business for me is also like what you just said.   [00:09:14] It's like the proof of your business is the business. It's amazing things. Just kind of it seems like as you started to employ techniques and things like that, it became the work. And then it sounds like it just unfolded everything that you had prior previously set out as as goals. And I like to that end, I want to start unpacking and I'm not sure if I have the right chronology, but when I was looking at your work on YouTube and things like that, it seems like the retreat or the visit out with your eldest brother in Arizona. Was that the first time that you actually started looking at fasting? And what was your education prior to that when going there? And what did you determine? How do you define fasting on that particular trip?   [00:10:00] Yes. So previous to that trip, I had definitely experimented with fasting before. I've been so college and went vegetarian and then after college went began. And then like there was probably leading up to last February before that trip. Maybe like two to three years rabbit experiment with fasting. Never to like the extent of what I do now. But I think one of my longest fast before that was just a fruit fast for the month of August.   [00:10:27] I just do like nothing but through kind of fruitarian route for a minute. But it was always a little more resistance, a little more like trying. Like, again, like I was talking about the jobs and the professionalism and things we want. It was like, okay, 10 days or 30 days or whatever it may be like I have to reach this goal. And it was more of like an effort. And then once breath work, I learned in February with my brother at the retreat in Arizona. I once I learned that technique, it was like so effortless. And I just didn't even think that that was possible with fasting. I always thought it was gonna be like a challenge or like, you know, like a force in a counterforce and implementing the breaths, like, really nourished the body in a different way than I've ever experienced before. So in that sense, like the fasting in the past was just just way more challenging, was way more hard. I think, like I said, long as it was 30 days through and before that, maybe a couple like water fasts for like a day or two. But, you know, fast forwarding to February of twenty nineteen, I think fasting changed for me in a sense of like.   [00:11:35] I mean, and anyone who does fast, I think they can relate like you feel really, really. I mean, there's moments where you don't feel really good, but you feel so light and you feel so good. You have like always room for thought and clarity and you start to just move at a different octave in a sense. And it was like, so why does it have to be just such a temporary thing? Like, what if we just lived like that? And I know that's a big learning thing for people to, like, kind of digest at first, like, we'll know ask to be this temporary, like, detox. But I think that switched from me last February. I was like, well, why wouldn't you just, like, stay like that? Why would you want to go back and then have to be clean and then go back? So I guess fasting became more of a lifestyle for me now.   [00:12:15] I don't really think about it as like, OK, I'm doing this right now and this will happen like it's definitely more of a cycle low and very just like effortless. Like it's not like I'm trying to fast anymore or like today I'm not going to do that is just like not even a desire exists.   [00:12:32] And I think I always kind of say this and I might be rambling, but I think a lot of times we're in this, like, pursuit of happiness instead of this happiness of pursuit, like we want to want you know, we're like we're in our no side. We're the happiness of pursuit and not the pursuit of happiness like we're so used to wanting. And no, there's no better feeling than not needing anything. And I think a lot of people are kind of scared of that. So kind of switched from me. Right? I guess I became un scared of that. Like it was good to not want or need anything like desire and peace can't kind of really coexist. So to be I like a peaceful place where you're just like I'm content, like I don't need anything. And it just became more more than just about food, I guess.   [00:13:14] Yeah. Relationships with contentment and things like that you talk a lot about and some of those key aspects, especially with breath work and really acknowledging, you know, what's happening and reexamining your relationship with Thyer and things like that, things that come from food, you know, things that we think we want wondering how do you define fasting for yourself? Do you find do you define it as a lack of, like chewable food or is it complete nutrients like up for you? How do you consider yourself to be in a fasted state?   [00:13:49] Sure. Right now, currently, I'm just doing juices for the month of June. I don't know. I'm going to keep going. But in general, for me, it's been more of just like liquids, only like a liquid area lifestyle. We have to put a arean or egen on it, a liquid arean lifestyle. So just basically for the past month, the basis of everything. And if I do have to food, because I have in the past year, like since learning breastwork, it's not like I've never will eat food ever again. I think a lot of people think so. But it's been my raw Vegan if I do have any food. But it's just like a lighter density diet. I guess you could say. I don't like the word diet, I just lifestyle.   [00:14:28] So just like smoothies, juices, teas, water, coconut water, that's kind of like the basis for me. Fasting looks like it feels like like I said, it's been today's day. Twenty five of just juice and coconut water and water.   [00:14:43] So how do they get lighter advice or do you take did you take any advice along the way or did you let your intuition lead you like do you look towards I think a lot of people here about fasting and the more understudied or naive will say, you know, that's.   [00:15:00] Dangerous are things like that, but I think a lot of people would say, well, you need to be under the tutelage of some school of thought. How do you personally come at it?   [00:15:12] I definitely think there's a big value in research before you get into something. I know I get messages all the time about how to fast, how to go Vegan, how to, how to, how to. So I think it is important to reach out to people that could help you or read books and others. A few books and people on you too, like John Rose. My brother's a big, huge mentor for me. Tyler on Instagram, there's just like a lot of research I think is definitely important before you just dove into it. A lot of people might end up doing it and then be like this didn't work or like this felt really bad. And, you know, it can it could easily have a different perspective if you don't really know what you're getting into. For me, I definitely, I think had it already in my life. My brother had did a lot of fast in front of me and a lot of my peers kind of were stepping into that room. Like I just started to kind of track that environment in a sense. And I saw people doing it. It became like real like, wow, this person, you know, my brother went like a year on just liquids. And I was like, OK. He looks great and he's moving great and everything, like, you know, became like, OK, I can connect those dots. And I think, yeah, just like seeing that and kind of experimenting on my own for sure. Like knowing my limit, knowing like my I guess you could say like my intuition of like, OK, this is too much, too little. But again, I'm like it's a broken record. I feel like I say every day. But the breath really, really made it so much easier.   [00:16:42] Yeah. Well, you for us, let's talk about what you were referring to. We talk about breath work and for people who haven't even heard of that and how linking it with your fasting endeavors on a day to day basis.   [00:16:57] So, yeah. So Branzburg is just more of like active or conscious breathing pattern or, you know, focus, breath moreso than meditation, meditation, sense to kind of be daydreaming in a sense. A lot of times we can just be sitting there and like wandering off and there's nothing wrong. I think meditation but breath work is such a like present active, conscious practice. It's a very, very ancient one. It's becoming a little more trendy now, but it dates back to like Egypt and Africa, like forever, forever. You know, centuries ago it's been been happening much like a lot of these trendy things that are now trendy. But essentially for me, what it looks like is an hour of conscious breathing every morning, first thing in the morning, before tea, before water, just completely off of your drive. Fasted state, no for you, for your breakfast or break fast with the breath work so I could nerd out about it a lot. If anybody wants to know more, I'd love to do like one on one sessions with anyone. But essentially, like you're breathing from the diaphragm, from the lower lungs. There's so much blood there that we neglect. We're really caught in the shallow breathing a lot of times. And there's a difference, you know, in fight or flight, arrest and Digest's and it's eighteen or more breaths. A minute is fight or flight. So a lot of times we're walking around and fight or fight and moving with more thinking and like more anxiety than awareness. And, you know, you emotionally eat because you have this like emotional hunger. Like, you know, you start to crave things that are really just like emotional cravings or, you know, you eat out a celebratory or habitual or just filling voids with substance. And so when you start to replace that with the breath, the cells become so oxidated oxygenated and nourished because we're breathing from this from this lower part of the lungs that we neglect, like I'm saying, and really, really helping the digestive system also get massage because you're like breathing out fully from the belly. It really, really like shows you where your true appetite is, I guess you could say. And starting the day with that is is in a sense I mean, it sounds a little hippie dippy, but starting the day with your heart, your heart is the the air, the element of air.   [00:19:16] If you familiar with the shockers at all, it's that element of air. And I think for me, like everything comes down to alignment and harmony. So like waking up and kind of giving that respect to the elements, like waking up with the breath, first air. And then I always follow that up with like herbal cup of tea, which it's like fire, water and earth. You know, it's hot water.   [00:19:39] Herbs are for grounding and setting up that alignment just really, really kind of shifts and changes and shapes the day. I have a day without it, in a day with it. It's like so transparent. The breath really like nourishes the body instead of just filling it like you do. It's food like you really feel true nourishment. I think there's a big difference in being full. Nourished. And they go so many directions. But in a sense, it also just detoxifies the body so hugely, like 70 percent of your elimination is done through the breath. Like not in the bathroom. Like we lose toxins to breathing. More than anything. So, yeah. And it's just I think just knowing about it fascinated me so much. I guess that's why we're here today and like how much I dedicated to it, because it was just so like aparent. It's kind of one of those things. I don't know if anyone will fully digest until they do it. And so you just consciously grieve or even ten minutes you'll be like, OK, wait, this. I feel different. And all I did was breathe. It's this constant thing, you know, it's here with us since we were born. It's always here. And we just kind of neglected or subconsciously don't even realize where it's at. But yes, bringing that awareness to it is essentially like breath work is it doesn't have to be this huge, complicated thing.   [00:20:58] Well, what I love about it is the simplicity of it is really overlooked.   [00:21:02] And I will say, like using myself as an example, you know, having done yoga, practicing, being avid practitioner due to my faith as a Buddhist, you know, of daily meditation, I would I would be the first person to erroneously say I yeah, I practiced breath work all the time. When you talk. Yeah. What you do is so distinctly different, you know, with breath work and just eliminating all of the other very good aspects of yoga or meditation that also incorporate the breath. But just singularly being the breath is the activity in that moment, I think really crystallizes what the breath is actually doing in all of the other activities as well. Yeah, totally different. It's also interesting to me that it's this missing piece of anyone who talks about fasting from any different realm, from science, from health, for meditative and mental clarity. All of those things that people come to fasting for. Right. They they frequently that there's a large part of the dialog about the emotional treasury and drudgery of fasting. You know, of of people they eat. A lot of people talk about it from a medical standpoint. That's your body switching over to fat reserves, yada, yada, yada. Insulin release, not released all of those things. However, there's always that emotional element that people are addressing that's incredibly difficult. And what's interesting and what I've when I've looked at what the work you were doing is the breath work is kind of this answer, you know, and this key piece about like this, the only aspects of fasting that people will say it was awful is, you know, that that feeling of of longing or missing all of those attachments and things that when you talk about work, you know, is an answer to that. You know, it's like this. This aid, you know, that you get kind of communicate with it. And I think that this because of that, they go so tangibly together. I it's interesting that fasting doesn't talk more about breath work and things that kind of answer to that. I'm wondering, with your own personal experience, it's clear that it's it's accompanied it and things like that. But have you can you imagine fasting without doing your breath work anymore? Or is it like it's become so intertwined?   [00:23:18] No, it's a great question.   [00:23:19] I think about it sometimes because, like even yesterday, I didn't really do like a full session of breath work and cravings were, like, happening at night. I mean, the only thing that changed was I didn't do my full hour in the morning. And so, yes, I do two hours now and I'm doing just like a lighter, lighter density of just use.   [00:23:39] But I mean, I definitely think you can fast without it. I just like I said, I feel like there's just more resistance and more of like a measurement when it comes to that. Like, I just know so many people, like I was almost at day seven and I failed at day five and like it just for me. Doesn't even become that kind of mentality for fasting anymore. Is this really like.   [00:24:02] Like, I prioritize the breath and it all kind of falls in line. OK. You have to worry or think about that.   [00:24:07] And it's just it's the craziest thing that I try to explain. Because you're like, wow. How do I just not want these things anymore? Well, yeah, I don't know. I don't think I can really imagine doing it without it. I think it's just so transparent for me now. Like it in the past. And I would fast and I would fail so many times. I can't share how many times I would say I'm going to do a three day fast, get to the end of day one and binge out on Vegan cookies.   [00:24:32] I, I every Vegan being like, yeah. And you create a really unhealthy cycle for me.   [00:24:38] And I have talked to a lot of other people that experiment fasting and they relate a lot to that. And I don't think people talk about that enough, really. It's just like how unhealthy you can kind of go with the bingeing and fasting and just like yo yo that we kind of do. We're trying to do this healthy lifestyle easily. Just wake up and binge out.   [00:24:55] And I'm like, OK, tomorrow I'm fasting and we just have to justify everything and bounce back and forth through.   [00:25:01] It's it raises like it's it's it's a crippling irony, you know, when you get into healthy measures and how it can kind of facilitate neuroses and like a disorder with food and the way that you consume it. You're right. All of the conversations and negotiations that go down with the fast before the most sage faster, you know, we'll have this kind of wild. I'll be talking to a colleague that's getting ready for a fast and she's, you know, just voraciously consuming everything in her right point of that guy.   [00:25:33] Yeah, that's it's. So. Yeah, yeah.   [00:25:36] Gry and the breath work sounds like it helps, like, return the conversation to where it needs to be, which is about, you know, I kind of like just brings you back to like OK, like because Reft literally if you look at the definition of spirit is breath like they translate to each other. Inspirer means to breathe like a lot of things just come back to breath. So it's like, OK, where's my spirit lagrima breathing from right now? Like a lot of times those thoughts and those cravings, they're really not even you. Like all other conversation. But they can be like parasites or they can be influences from other things that are you might not even be aware of that. And so you just come back and like, take a moment for clarity.   [00:26:13] Absolutely. All right. We're going to climb into some rapid fire questions that we've collected from audience members. All right. So the first one is, how long have you been practicing fasting?   [00:26:26] Let's see. It's probably been twenty, twenty four years, I'd say, in total, just like like experimented with fasting last year.   [00:26:37] What is your preferred fast method is always used method or length. So like it sounds, I mean, you're doing liquid dairy and diet right now are fast. But do you prefer. Do you tried. Oh man. Have you tried all of the different forms of fasting?   [00:26:54] The only one I guess I specifically can remember really trying is like intermittent fasting. I think that's kind of how I got into it. Like gradually I just got into lighter lifestyle. But I preferred I guess like I always kind of start with like a three day and then see where that goes.   [00:27:10] Yeah. When do you advise your clients or followers to fast. Have you ever, like, gotten to a place where you are advising these people with breath work or anything like that to incorporate fasting, or does it naturally happen?   [00:27:23] It comes a naturally happen. I, I tend to kind of step out of the way for that. I don't want to ever really like push somebody to something they're not ready for. I will say like the new moon, if anyone follows the moon cycles and stars or anything, the new moon tends to be a good time to start anything new.   [00:27:37] So I definitely recommend starting a fast or any type of new detox on a new.   [00:27:44] Nice to have you ever have goals yourself personally? We've had we had people ask about like because you have this like very fluid, like things are just kind of ways leading on way for you. Do you set goals ever with fasting based on clarity or desire?   [00:28:03] I guess you could say this month was kind of a goal. I wanted to do just 30 days of juice and just see what that was like. I'd cut fiber out because the smoothies have a lot of fiber. So because I still somewhat like, definitely hit little balls and things, I don't put too much pressure or stress on it. And I kind of try to just ebb and flow with intuition.   [00:28:21] Right. And can you define liquid arean as it as it refers to you? Does that mean that anything in a liquid form? So it is in essence, can you puree a broccoli? And as long as it's liquid, drink it. What does that mean for you.   [00:28:34] Yeah. Hundred percent.   [00:28:35] I know it sounds gross or crazy, but I like raw Vegan soup is really, really good if you can find really good ones. So for me it's like raw Vegan soups, teas, movies' juices, coconut water, even like vérité. I just, just all anything that you could not to as a liquid. Yeah. That counts for me very personally.   [00:28:59] And what about the chronic lifestyle that you talk about living? Can you define what that is, in essence for you?   [00:29:06] Sure. So Prana is essentially all around us. That is achee. The energy sitting in the sun, you charge up literally from the sun, literally from the sun, you get frohna. So essentially, it's just kind of for me personally, I'd like to just say it's it's getting back to the natural living naturally and living off of what already exists within you. I'm not depending on external things. And just having that internal peace, I guess you could say, of knowing, like, you can literally eat from the sun, from the air. There's prana, there's water vapors in the air that you can get that hydration from is just coming back to the natural, in a sense, depending on like Mother Nature, to really nurture you.   [00:29:49] Yeah, yeah. What about in your videos, you talk about the death of the ego. There's so many different things that you get into.   [00:29:58] And it's almost a therapeutic like and you have, in fact, mentioned, you know, two hours of talk therapy or one hour of breath work, you know? And you get into things that breath work and fasting that have led to for you emotional release, the ability to cry without, you know, as a scribing pain or judgment to it, anger that comes up, sadness, good and bad. You know, not all this like flowery, lovely moments, but you talk about how they come about with breath work and the utility of that. Like it's not being a bad thing anymore.   [00:30:33] You talk about the death of the ego and things like that.   [00:30:38] Do you feel like it's accompanied with fasting or do you think all of that is just brought about with breath work, as is fasting?   [00:30:47] Does giving the ball like both of them tie together? And I will say, like in this past year of practicing breath work and everything, I think in a sense and with fasting, like you give everything up to receive everything. You kind of like make room, in a sense for. For you to receive more from one of my favorite books, the dad teaching is kind of like my lifestyle. If anyone familiar with that book, just like you give everything up to receive everything and like pass, you have gotten rid of so many clothes. I don't wear makeup anymore. Like, my friends have kind of changed around, like just over my you know, you're a magnet in a sense. So you attract a different reality when you start to be at a different density. And so, like, I'm feeling a lot lighter. I feel like that kind of shifted everything around me to like, again, needs just kind of drop like, OK, food wasn't as crazy of a value to me anymore. So neither was like material things and desires in these temporary, you know, satisfactions of like new shoes or whatever, you know, makeup and all that kind of like ego, ego esque, you know, dressing the vessel up to look a certain way or whatever. It's not like I don't like dressing up anymore or anything like that. It's just I guess attachments just kind of shifted, you know, once I got into this lifestyle.   [00:32:01] Absolutely. So when you coach, you do one on one coaching, is that correct? You still do?   [00:32:06] Yes. Yes, definitely.   [00:32:08] So if someone's looking to get involved with it and things like that, do they just sign up for a one on one session with you for their breathing, or do you recommend that they educate themselves first?   [00:32:17] How does that work?   [00:32:19] I have yeah. I would definitely say I just you can go ahead and book a session with me. I tend to love when people get. I have like a one on one just one session and then there's a three pack that you can get for like once a week for a whole month. And that one is kind of I get to be a bit a little nerd out with you a little bit more and like teach you a little bit more. And also lead you through a couple of sessions. I also just released a six week video course that really, really like if you don't want to listen to me ramble too much, you can just do the whole chorus that kind of introduces you to breath work, how to breathe, how to properly fast the herbs that I take, just like kind of getting into this like. So that kind of helps with that, too. But in general, like, you know, experience is needed. You could have never even heard of breath work. I've worked with people that have done it for years. And, you know, today I had somebody that's like never done in their life. So wherever you're at, I can meet you for sure.   [00:33:13] Well, I like that. And that's so the six week course, all of that's on like the sea.   [00:33:18] But I mean, find that. Yeah, on my website, I just really sit, like, on Sunday, I think. So it was like a baby I've been nurturing for a while. So good to release it to the world. Yeah. And a book with innovations. And there's kind of information.   [00:33:33] Yeah. When people don't have like exactly what you're saying, the herbs and you know, it's nice to have like the whole picture.   [00:33:40] And Yeah. And sometimes it can be a lot to like pour onto somebody at once, you know, like sometimes you need to take bites as they go. OK. This week we're doing this, this week we're doing this. And that's kind of how I formatted it. Like each week you kind of like take more steps into the water, into your food, hopefully.   [00:33:57] Well, lately, I imagine there's been a lot of conversation about the covered 19 pandemic, at least in some of the communities you function in. There have been nothing but in the ones that I function in when it comes to health and and diet and wellness and the immune system. Do you have any, like, key takeaways that you and your community talk about when it comes to, you know, the overall state and health of you personally or the world on a whole?   [00:34:28] Yeah, I mean, it's a big picture to look at and to dove into, but. I mean, with so much emphasis on breathing right now, it's just I can't I can't be just ironic. You know, like I mean, just one the agrarian season we may be in of just knowledge and information. That's an error sign. And then, you know, George. George Boyd, I can't breathe. And that includes a respiratory infection and the face masks. It's just like like I said, the breath detoxifies the body more than anything you could do. So like, I don't know, a lot of conversations I've been having with people is just just really like turning internal to fix the external, I don't know, fixes the word I want to use. But it's a big reflection, you know, the internal versus external. And the more and more I think we prioritize just the simple thing of just going internal and getting that piece right in the breath. Right in spirit. Right. I think I could really, really shift the literal pressures of the world. Every time you do breastwork, you are kind of shifting through the, you know, the pressures. And so, I don't know, it's it's like a good and I don't know what where to put on it, but it's definitely just like a wake up that's happening in the world. And yeah, I guess like with Earth and everything is in this big fast herself just detoxifying. And I think it's is a big reflection and I don't know, I can't say like I'm not excited or excited for what's happening. I just think, you know, nothing changes if nothing changes. So in a sense, it might be what's necessary for people to kind of open their eyes a little wider. 20/20 vision. Yeah, I think I think a lot of it, though, if we prioritize like peace as much as we do a lot of other things and kind of turn to ourselves for the sources that we look to the TV for, so much like, can you go inside and see what's really needed here instead of these external validations and sources?   [00:36:20] Absolutely. I agree. And I love the way that you're coming at all of that. You know, I think that that you had there's an incredible tie in, you know, with the breath that you just kind of did this incredible trifecta, quite frankly, the world, the earth, our our society and the United States, with the murder of Judge Floyd, like all of those things, the breath kind of relating back in the earth, everything. I think it's a beautiful thing. And I I think that it's we do need to make sense of things. You know, we do need to be able to take tragedies and and actually do something with them. Work is actively doing that, you know. A hundred percent. So cool. I love how you came at fasting. I love this story and your combination with it. I think it's so wonderful, Casey. And I really appreciate you taking the time to speak with us today.   [00:37:08] Thank you so much. I appreciate all of your questions are really, really fun to answer and reflect on. So I appreciate being here. Thank you.   [00:37:15] Absolutely.

You can find out more on her Web site. That is C dash, but B, you, D, D, dot com.
