155. How To Heal Your Gut

Speaker: 00:00:03

everybody.

2

: 00:00:03

Welcome to the elemental.

3

: 00:00:04

I've been show.

4

: 00:00:05

This is your host, Evan Roberts.

5

: 00:00:06

And on this show, I break down complex

health topics from a holistic perspective

6

: 00:00:11

today's episode, we are going to jump

into some serious gut health talk.

7

: 00:00:16

We're going to talk a bit about my

experience with my gastrointestinal

8

: 00:00:20

issues, growing up as a child and kind

of how I fixed those and navigated.

9

: 00:00:25

That whole experience.

10

: 00:00:26

And I'm going to give you all the

information that I can possibly

11

: 00:00:30

think of in this episode for how

to heal your gut in case you're

12

: 00:00:34

dealing with a lot of these issues.

13

: 00:00:36

Just to give you an idea.

14

: 00:00:37

I dealt with.

15

: 00:00:38

Irritable bowel syndrome.

16

: 00:00:40

I was told I was lactose intolerant.

17

: 00:00:42

I had a Paris parasite for awhile.

18

: 00:00:44

Um, bunch of different things

dealing with my gut health.

19

: 00:00:47

Ultimately it just led to a lot of

cramping and pain and needing to

20

: 00:00:53

like run to the restroom and yeah,

just not a fun experience growing up.

21

: 00:00:58

So I'm going to go ahead and dive in to

how I navigated that, what tools I use.

22

: 00:01:03

And if I could tell someone right

now who's going through the same

23

: 00:01:05

experiences that I was as a kid.

24

: 00:01:08

I would tell them to do the steps that I'm

going to discuss in this episode today.

25

: 00:01:13

So I'm going to give you kind

of all the knowledge that I have

26

: 00:01:15

in terms of how to heal the gut.

27

: 00:01:18

Now I'm sure there's going to be

some little key points here and

28

: 00:01:20

there that I might miss out on.

29

: 00:01:22

Um, and if I remember them,

I'll bring them back in a future

30

: 00:01:25

episode, but nonetheless, this

is going to be a really great.

31

: 00:01:29

Uh, roadmap and guide on how

to heal your gut effectively.

32

: 00:01:34

And one of the things that I've been

using here recently is actually colostrum.

33

: 00:01:40

So I spoke about this on

a couple episodes ago.

34

: 00:01:43

Uh, I started trying this colostrum

product from Um, honestly, Marketing

35

: 00:01:50

got me on Instagram as well.

36

: 00:01:52

Actually.

37

: 00:01:52

I heard it in, uh, max

Luca beer's podcast.

38

: 00:01:55

That was when I first heard it.

39

: 00:01:55

And then Instagram started

feeding it to me, like crazy.

40

: 00:01:59

Uh, but nonetheless, there's a

lot of good reason to take it.

41

: 00:02:03

It's not just all hype.

42

: 00:02:05

So I test everything before I promote

it on the show because I want to make

43

: 00:02:09

sure it's actually something I enjoy

Molly going to share the things that

44

: 00:02:12

I actually enjoy on the show with you.

45

: 00:02:14

But nonetheless arm rhe was, uh, it's

this company for colostrum, which for

46

: 00:02:20

those of you who are unfamiliar with

what colostrum is claustrum is actually

47

: 00:02:24

the very first milk that I believe all

mammals receive in the first 24 to,

48

: 00:02:30

I think it's 48 or 72 hours of birth.

49

: 00:02:33

So right when you're born, the first

milk that the mother is going to be

50

: 00:02:37

producing is going to be colostrum.

51

: 00:02:40

The colostrum is going to be

slightly different than normal

52

: 00:02:43

milk in the sense that it's going.

53

: 00:02:44

I have a lot of different, um, components

to it that are going to really help

54

: 00:02:48

bolster our immune systems and kind

of help, you know, settle or, uh,

55

: 00:02:53

build our microbiome and really set

us up for success in really just life.

56

: 00:02:58

Uh, so it's very potent stuff

and it's really awesome.

57

: 00:03:01

I, um, I personally started taking it to

see how it would benefit my gut health.

58

: 00:03:07

And I was very surprised by the

results, because for one, it did help

59

: 00:03:12

my gut health, I would say, um, I

don't have very many flare ups now

60

: 00:03:18

due to IBS or anything like that.

61

: 00:03:20

Um, just because I had

my diet really dialed in.

62

: 00:03:23

But nonetheless, I'm always on the

lookout for things that are going to

63

: 00:03:25

help my gut and, uh, You know, really

restore it and build up the gut health.

64

: 00:03:30

I can't say that it was this massive

difference in terms of gut health.

65

: 00:03:35

But what I did notice is it

really, really bolstered my

66

: 00:03:39

immune system for like two months.

67

: 00:03:43

There was just a ton

of people getting sick.

68

: 00:03:45

And even right now, a ton of people are

still getting sick and I was around them.

69

: 00:03:50

While they were sick and I didn't

know that they were, and they would

70

: 00:03:53

tell me later all these crazy things

and then come to find out that, uh,

71

: 00:03:57

you know, they were sick and I was

around them and I never got sick the

72

: 00:04:01

whole time that I was around them.

73

: 00:04:03

Ashley never got sick either.

74

: 00:04:05

Uh, it was really wild.

75

: 00:04:06

And the only thing I could think

about was I started taking.

76

: 00:04:10

Try armrests claustrum that was

like the one thing that I actually

77

: 00:04:13

altered in terms of like diet or

supplements or anything to that extent.

78

: 00:04:19

So.

79

: 00:04:20

I have seen a huge benefit in

colostrum's effect on my immune system.

80

: 00:04:25

Uh, when I'm taking it a really

bolsters my immune system.

81

: 00:04:29

And in terms of gut health actually

noticed the best effects on my gut health

82

: 00:04:33

when I was taking it multiple times a day.

83

: 00:04:35

So two to three times a day only

issue with that is obviously

84

: 00:04:38

you're using a lot more of it.

85

: 00:04:40

So that's going to ramp up the cost of it.

86

: 00:04:41

So.

87

: 00:04:42

Uh, when you take just one scoop

a day, that's really still going

88

: 00:04:45

to help the immune system largely.

89

: 00:04:47

Um, and that's kinda the main reason

I actually take it is mainly for the

90

: 00:04:49

immune system, which if you didn't

know this, you're like 70%, more than

91

: 00:04:54

70% of your immune system physically

resides in your gastrointestinal system.

92

: 00:05:00

So it kind of makes sense, goes

hand in hand that obviously.

93

: 00:05:03

Uh, what's good for the immune

system is going to be good

94

: 00:05:06

for the gut and vice versa.

95

: 00:05:07

What's good for the gut.

96

: 00:05:08

It's good for the immune system.

97

: 00:05:09

And as always, I am trying to

find good deals for all of you.

98

: 00:05:14

So typically colostrum from tri.

99

: 00:05:16

Barbara, I get a 10% discount

code for your first offer.

100

: 00:05:20

Uh, from your first purchase from them.

101

: 00:05:22

However in lieu of black Friday, they're

doing a really huge offer right now.

102

: 00:05:28

One that I've personally

never seen them do.

103

: 00:05:30

So.

104

: 00:05:30

From Tuesday, no, uh, November 21st.

105

: 00:05:33

So a day ago from the release of this

podcast, all the way to November 27th.

106

: 00:05:39

The cell is going to be

20% off a one-time order.

107

: 00:05:43

Site-wide and 40% off your

first auto-ship order.

108

: 00:05:49

So that 40% is a huge one, 20%.

109

: 00:05:51

Like I've seen them kind of throw

that around here and there, but 40%

110

: 00:05:54

is one I've personally never seen.

111

: 00:05:57

And don't tell anyone I'm going to

absolutely have a friend of mine.

112

: 00:06:00

Um, go ahead and order a few for me.

113

: 00:06:02

I'm going to.

114

: 00:06:03

Shoot them some money and just

kind of stock up on this, because

115

: 00:06:06

this is truly like one of the best

deals they've ever had or it's the

116

: 00:06:09

best deal I've ever seen them have.

117

: 00:06:10

So, uh, I highly, highly recommend

them, even if it's just for the immune

118

: 00:06:16

properties, even though there's so

many other things that it does, that

119

: 00:06:19

it's really, really good at helping.

120

: 00:06:21

Um, a lot of people do claim

that it helps out with digestion.

121

: 00:06:24

Like I said, it's something I

noticed when I was taking a lot

122

: 00:06:27

of it, but I really noticed a

major, major benefit in the immune.

123

: 00:06:32

Uh, effects or benefits from it.

124

: 00:06:35

So that's mainly why I take it.

125

: 00:06:36

And also I just feel super

good when I do take it.

126

: 00:06:38

So, uh, you know, really being able to

tune in our, into our bodies and listen

127

: 00:06:43

to what it's feeling is so important.

128

: 00:06:45

And that's really one of the

best things to go off of.

129

: 00:06:48

So if you guys are interested in

134

: 00:07:07

So be sure to check out

the show notes for that.

135

: 00:07:10

And on that note, since we're still

talking about black Friday here,

136

: 00:07:15

I have to tell you as well about

energy bits and their black Friday

137

: 00:07:19

slash cyber Monday deal going on.

138

: 00:07:21

So if you've never listened to

this show before energy bits is a

139

: 00:07:25

spirulina and chlorella company.

140

: 00:07:27

It's.

141

: 00:07:27

Basically micro algae.

142

: 00:07:29

So literally little micro algae

that are absolutely packed

143

: 00:07:34

with tons of micronutrients.

144

: 00:07:37

We have minerals.

145

: 00:07:38

We have, uh, you know, different

vitamins in there as well.

146

: 00:07:41

I believe it's 40 plus

minerals and vitamins as well.

147

: 00:07:44

Spirulina is going to have all nine

essential amino acids making it a

148

: 00:07:49

complete protein and chlorella is

so incredibly high in chlorophyll.

149

: 00:07:54

Literally the names like

basically look the same almost.

150

: 00:07:58

And chlorophyll, if you are not familiar

with that, it is basically the green

151

: 00:08:03

pigment of plants, but it's very, very

effective at helping to remove heavy

152

: 00:08:08

metals and toxins from our blood.

153

: 00:08:10

I've also heard from my

last episode with Dr.

154

: 00:08:13

Wendy.

155

: 00:08:13

True.

156

: 00:08:15

that chlorella and I believe

spirulina as well are able to help

157

: 00:08:18

remove mycotoxins from the body,

which micro toxins come from mold.

158

: 00:08:23

Um, mold is definitely an issue

that we are hearing more about.

159

: 00:08:27

So honestly, one of my favorite

things to take it's jam packed with so

160

: 00:08:31

many minerals and vitamins and just.

161

: 00:08:33

A slew of different benefits

specifically with detoxing the body.

162

: 00:08:38

And that is why I take

that every single day.

163

: 00:08:41

Um, it's one of my

absolute go-to supplements.

164

: 00:08:43

I've been using energy bits for years now.

165

: 00:08:46

It is the highest quality spirulina

and chlorella I have personally found.

166

: 00:08:50

And I've tried like, Probably

like 10 or 12 different brands.

167

: 00:08:55

And it has been my favorite

one after all of those.

168

: 00:08:57

So if you want to try

some of those as well.

169

: 00:09:01

There are some awesome deals we have

love these products.

181

: 00:09:39

I promise you, you are

going to enjoy them as well.

182

: 00:09:42

Um, of course use your intuitive sense

and see how you feel when you take these.

183

: 00:09:47

That's really the best way we can tell if

something's working for us back to, or.

184

: 00:09:52

Literally go get a test to see

if you're increasing your levels

185

: 00:09:56

of, you know, whatever it is

that you might be deficient in.

186

: 00:09:58

That is called testing and not guessing.

187

: 00:10:02

But aside from that, We're going

to jump in to basically my story

188

: 00:10:08

with my gastrointestinal issues

and kind of my whole background

189

: 00:10:13

and how I even got into health.

190

: 00:10:14

So I'll keep this relatively short because

for some of you listeners, you've probably

191

: 00:10:19

heard this many, many times, but for

those of you who have not heard my story.

192

: 00:10:24

Basically when I was young, like five,

six years old, I started to develop

193

: 00:10:29

an issue with my digestive system.

194

: 00:10:32

Uh, had to, you know, it was like, If I

had to use the restroom, it was immediate.

195

: 00:10:37

Like there was no possibility

of me holding and waiting

196

: 00:10:41

to go use the restroom.

197

: 00:10:42

Um, and this led to, you know, me not

being able to eat food if I was going

198

: 00:10:47

to be in a car for like more than 30

minutes, because I was afraid that

199

: 00:10:51

I wasn't going to be near a restroom

that I could easily access and use.

200

: 00:10:55

So I basically had to like fast

any time I was going to be in a

201

: 00:10:58

car for an extended period of time.

202

: 00:11:01

Um, So, what ended up happening was I

went to the doctor's with my family,

203

: 00:11:06

my mom and dad finally got to a point

that, you know, it was, you know, two.

204

: 00:11:11

Too intense for everyone to not ignore,

like literally waking up in the middle

205

: 00:11:15

of the night to use the restroom.

206

: 00:11:17

My stomach in absolute cramps felt

like my intestines were twisted and you

207

: 00:11:22

know, like a hot knife was in my bowels.

208

: 00:11:25

Like it was terrible.

209

: 00:11:26

So, uh, we went to the doctors and, you

know, they ran a few tests come to find

210

: 00:11:31

out that they say I have a parasite.

211

: 00:11:34

So they gave me some pills

for a parasite as well.

212

: 00:11:37

They said I was lactose intolerant.

213

: 00:11:38

So could not tolerate.

214

: 00:11:40

Milk basically, or any dairy products.

215

: 00:11:42

And on top of that, I had

irritable bowel syndrome.

216

: 00:11:45

So that's pretty much the

diagnosis I was given.

217

: 00:11:49

And they essentially told me, take

these pills for your parasite.

218

: 00:11:51

Don't drink milk and good luck with IBS.

219

: 00:11:54

So.

220

: 00:11:55

Really there was like no actual.

221

: 00:12:00

You know, roadmap given to me, right.

222

: 00:12:02

It was just kind of like, you're

going to deal with this for the

223

: 00:12:04

rest of your life and just try to

not eat dairy, basically, which.

224

: 00:12:09

Yeah, obviously did not work.

225

: 00:12:11

Um, so hence I just kind of lived my life

in this way where, you know, I knew that.

226

: 00:12:16

If I was eating.

227

: 00:12:18

Typically bad food.

228

: 00:12:19

And even at that time, I knew if I was

eating like frozen pizzas and stuff, that

229

: 00:12:23

likely I was going to not feel so good.

230

: 00:12:25

However, when I kept my diet a little

bit lighter, I noticed that, you know,

231

: 00:12:29

my stomach was a little bit better,

but when you're a kid, you kind of

232

: 00:12:32

don't really think about this too much.

233

: 00:12:33

So I just ate terribly and

dealt with the consequences.

234

: 00:12:38

But when I was in, it was ninth grade

is when I met my Spanish teacher, Mr.

235

: 00:12:43

Maya, but it's in 10th grade that we

really started diving into health and

236

: 00:12:48

he was leading me down this journey

of lifestyle, change, diet, you know,

237

: 00:12:53

different diets that are going to help

decrease inflammation, rebuild the guy.

238

: 00:12:57

Um, you know, he was giving

me these books and, and.

239

: 00:13:00

And films to watch.

240

: 00:13:01

So I have a lot to owe to Mr.

241

: 00:13:03

Maya.

242

: 00:13:04

I have seen him since, and

I've thanked him many times.

243

: 00:13:07

Uh, but nonetheless, if you're

listening, thank you so much, Mr.

244

: 00:13:09

Maya really appreciate it.

245

: 00:13:10

Um, This is all cause you, so

I appreciate that big time.

246

: 00:13:14

And nonetheless, I was able

to really alter my diet.

247

: 00:13:18

So what I did is I read a book

that actually kind of scared me.

248

: 00:13:22

It was called, I think the hundred

year lie is what it was called.

249

: 00:13:25

Um, not like saying you need to go

out and read this book, but I'll just

250

: 00:13:29

tell you why this is significant.

251

: 00:13:30

So the very first chapter talks about a

ton of different chemicals, like flame

252

: 00:13:34

retardants that are in our couches and

the pesticides that are used on our plants

253

: 00:13:38

and just all these different things.

254

: 00:13:40

So I really like freaked out and decided

that I shouldn't eat anything unless

255

: 00:13:45

it's like organic and plant-based

pretty much for the most part.

256

: 00:13:48

So what I did is I essentially

was doing intermittent fasting.

257

: 00:13:53

And I was only eating salads.

258

: 00:13:55

That was like all I had access to.

259

: 00:13:56

Obviously I was still in high school.

260

: 00:13:58

I wasn't able to go purchase my own food.

261

: 00:14:01

Luckily I had lettuce and

usually it was organic lettuce.

262

: 00:14:04

I had all EDS.

263

: 00:14:05

I had, um, organic olive oil and,

uh, sometimes I would also throw

264

: 00:14:11

in a chicken breast in there.

265

: 00:14:12

So.

266

: 00:14:13

Went ahead and would eat salads for two

weeks with intermittent fasting as well.

267

: 00:14:19

And come to find out.

268

: 00:14:20

After two weeks of doing that, I

did not have one flare up at all.

269

: 00:14:24

It was insane.

270

: 00:14:25

It was eyeopening.

271

: 00:14:26

And it's really what led me down

the journey that I'm on now.

272

: 00:14:30

So.

273

: 00:14:32

Fast forward.

274

: 00:14:33

To now, um, I've done a ton of

research, you know, I've read a lot of

275

: 00:14:36

books and I've tried a lot of things.

276

: 00:14:39

That's really where the benefit

for me is, is actually trying these

277

: 00:14:42

things out, being disciplined and,

and being in touch with my body.

278

: 00:14:46

Right.

279

: 00:14:46

Listening to my body, listening to when

it's talking, listening to, you know,

280

: 00:14:50

when I have an upset stomach and then

thinking, okay, what was it that I ate or

281

: 00:14:54

how, you know, how was I living my life?

282

: 00:14:55

Was I stressed at this time?

283

: 00:14:57

Like, there's so many factors

that go into it and we're

284

: 00:14:59

going to jump into those today.

285

: 00:15:00

So.

286

: 00:15:02

I love to provide you with

actionable steps, you know?

287

: 00:15:06

Things that you can actually

implement into your life today.

288

: 00:15:09

So that is my goal.

289

: 00:15:10

With this episode today, I'm going to

give you a real breakdown of each like

290

: 00:15:14

kind of topic with steps and all that.

291

: 00:15:17

And at the end of this episode,

I'll probably go over those just one

292

: 00:15:19

more time to really hammer them in.

293

: 00:15:21

But the first thing that

I can really recommend.

294

: 00:15:25

Is, you have to stop putting bad things

in, so you really have to give your gut.

295

: 00:15:32

Like arrest, you have to

let it get this reset.

296

: 00:15:35

Um, if it's been under constant

attack than it really hasn't had a

297

: 00:15:39

chance to rest and repair, right?

298

: 00:15:41

If we're constantly eating fried foods

and sugary foods and things that are

299

: 00:15:46

just breaking down our, um, you know,

the, the lining in our guts and causing

300

: 00:15:51

leaky gut and all these different

kinds of issues, lots of inflammation.

301

: 00:15:54

Then our gut has really not had

a chance to re repair itself.

302

: 00:15:58

It's just been like

fighting this losing battle.

303

: 00:16:01

So the first thing that we really have

to do is we have to stop putting bad

304

: 00:16:05

things in and the best way to do this.

305

: 00:16:06

And.

306

: 00:16:07

I know there is some controversy around

this, but honestly, it's doing a fast, so.

307

: 00:16:14

Yes, absolutely.

308

: 00:16:15

I'm going to caveat this with, you need

to be very intuitive with your body

309

: 00:16:19

when doing a fast, um, if you are a

woman, then please be mindful of the

310

: 00:16:24

time in which you're doing the fast.

311

: 00:16:26

You don't typically want to

do this around your period or

312

: 00:16:29

even right before your period.

313

: 00:16:31

You want to do this in a phase where,

um, your body is more able to properly

314

: 00:16:36

handle, not having food for three days.

315

: 00:16:40

Um, and since your body.

316

: 00:16:42

Uh, is literally, you know,

Can carry a human life.

317

: 00:16:47

Uh, one of the main things that

focuses on is if you have a

318

: 00:16:50

constant food supply, right?

319

: 00:16:52

Like if in your, if you're in a

correct circumstance to raise a child.

320

: 00:16:56

So therefore if you are going without

food, your body might kind of get a

321

: 00:17:00

little bit out of whack if you do it at

the wrong time, or if you do it too much.

322

: 00:17:03

So that's my little caveat there.

323

: 00:17:05

And also, if you do have any issues with.

324

: 00:17:08

Um, you know, food eating disorders, then

also just be very mindful about that.

325

: 00:17:13

Maybe, maybe this isn't the route for

you, and there are other ways of doing so.

326

: 00:17:17

But for the average person here.

327

: 00:17:20

Doing a three-day fast

is incredibly beneficial.

328

: 00:17:23

It is actually one of the few things that

if you're just, honestly, if you have

329

: 00:17:28

a really messed up gut, It is probably

the best thing you could do for it.

330

: 00:17:33

It's going to be a reset.

331

: 00:17:34

You're going to come out of that.

332

: 00:17:35

Three-day fast with incredible

gastrointestinal feelings.

333

: 00:17:40

Like you're going to feel so good.

334

: 00:17:41

It's insane.

335

: 00:17:42

Um, When I did my first three-day fast.

336

: 00:17:45

I couldn't believe how good my digestive

system felt and how well it was working.

337

: 00:17:51

So that is really the first step

I would say to do is to just stop

338

: 00:17:56

what you're doing completely.

339

: 00:17:58

So go on a fast.

340

: 00:18:00

Now I'm not going to get too into

the fasting here, but if you're

341

: 00:18:03

doing a fast, you can drink water.

342

: 00:18:05

You can even drink tea or coffee.

343

: 00:18:07

Although coffee can be a little bit

disruptive on the stomach lining.

344

: 00:18:12

So maybe you just stick with

water or a very gentle tea.

345

: 00:18:16

Uh, obviously nothing added in there.

346

: 00:18:17

No, honey.

347

: 00:18:19

Nothing along those lines.

348

: 00:18:20

We want to just keep it to either tea or

water and you want a high quality salt.

349

: 00:18:25

So if you have like a pink

Himalayan, sea salt or Celtic,

350

: 00:18:28

sea salt, or Redmond's, uh, Salt.

351

: 00:18:31

You know, from the.

352

: 00:18:32

I forget where it is, but it's like an

ancient lake or something like that.

353

: 00:18:35

Um, any of those are going to be

really good salt because they're going

354

: 00:18:39

to have a lot of minerals in them

and our body is going to need that.

355

: 00:18:42

So.

356

: 00:18:43

You can do salt.

357

: 00:18:44

You can do water and possibly even

tea, but if you want to just be

358

: 00:18:48

a traditionalist here, keep it

to just the salt in the water.

359

: 00:18:51

So that's going to be the first part.

360

: 00:18:53

We want to stop putting the bat in.

361

: 00:18:55

We want to do a three day fast to

really rest and repair the gut here.

362

: 00:19:01

Now.

363

: 00:19:02

Once we have re uh, rested our gut.

364

: 00:19:05

We now need to build

our gut back up, right?

365

: 00:19:08

Because after doing a three-day

fast, you don't want to have your

366

: 00:19:11

first meal be a hamburger and

French fries from McDonald's, right?

367

: 00:19:15

Like that's going to be

very counter productive.

368

: 00:19:18

It's, uh, you know, your body hasn't

had anything in it for three days now.

369

: 00:19:22

Um, it's really gonna want something

that is easy to digest and very.

370

: 00:19:28

Nutrient dense, right?

371

: 00:19:29

We're going to want something.

372

: 00:19:29

That's going to feed our, uh,

lining of our, of our stomachs and,

373

: 00:19:34

uh, really just benefit the body.

374

: 00:19:36

Right.

375

: 00:19:36

It's going to nourish us.

376

: 00:19:38

So the best way, in my opinion, or

the way that I enjoy breaking a fast

377

: 00:19:43

personally is actually with a bone broth.

378

: 00:19:45

So I know, um, if you are like

a vegan, then, uh, maybe this

379

: 00:19:50

isn't like the best route for you

obviously, or, well, it's just not

380

: 00:19:54

an option for you if, uh, if you're.

381

: 00:19:57

Not able to consume animal products.

382

: 00:19:59

There are other kinds of, you

know, air quotes, like bone broths.

383

: 00:20:02

And I think they typically

use a mushroom for the base.

384

: 00:20:06

You can find them.

385

: 00:20:07

Uh, and so I would still

recommend doing one of those.

386

: 00:20:10

If you can't do a traditional

bone broth, but if your dietary

387

: 00:20:15

restrictions allow, then I highly,

highly recommend a bone broth.

388

: 00:20:19

Bone broths are incredible for the gut.

389

: 00:20:22

Um, they have a ton of minerals in them

and just all the really good things that

390

: 00:20:28

are going to help to heal up our gut.

391

: 00:20:31

Um, even not doing a fast, they're

going to be really beneficial, but right

392

: 00:20:36

after a fast, if you're able to break

the three-day fast with bone broth.

393

: 00:20:40

That's going to be incredible.

394

: 00:20:41

That's going to be the

best way to start this off.

395

: 00:20:44

And then right after that, You

can start easing in with different

396

: 00:20:48

foods, nothing too flavorful.

397

: 00:20:51

We want to keep it very

mellow in the beginning.

398

: 00:20:53

Um, maybe even just starting off with

some fruit or some vegetables, eventually

399

: 00:20:57

working our way up to some meat.

400

: 00:20:59

Uh, if, like I said, once again,

if you are able to eat meat,

401

: 00:21:02

then work your way up to that.

402

: 00:21:04

Keeping everything at the

highest quality possible.

403

: 00:21:07

Right.

404

: 00:21:07

We want everything organic.

405

: 00:21:09

Uh, grassfed beef, if you're having

a beef and really just making sure

406

: 00:21:13

we're putting the best quality food

in, because this is truly the very

407

: 00:21:17

first foods that we're putting in

after a very long time without food.

408

: 00:21:20

So.

409

: 00:21:21

Making sure we're putting really

high quality foods in, and then

410

: 00:21:24

I'm going to highly, highly

recommend that you find a pre.

411

: 00:21:28

A pro.

412

: 00:21:29

And maybe even a post biotic to

take while, um, well basically

413

: 00:21:35

for, you know, for the rest of your

life or however long it suits you.

414

: 00:21:39

So for those of you who are unfamiliar

with probiotics or that whole field.

415

: 00:21:44

Probiotics are good bacteria that

don't actually really populate the gut.

416

: 00:21:49

They just kind of help it.

417

: 00:21:50

Um, but they don't really

take root and populate.

418

: 00:21:53

So a probiotic is something

you need to take frequently.

419

: 00:21:56

It's not something you can just

take one time and then you're good.

420

: 00:21:59

Uh, so unfortunately you do have to

take it over and over and over again.

421

: 00:22:03

Uh, to really receive the benefits

and then a prebiotic is going to

422

: 00:22:06

be food for the good bacteria.

423

: 00:22:09

So the prebiotics are

going to feed the good gut.

424

: 00:22:12

Uh, Gut bacteria.

425

: 00:22:13

And then a post biotic is essentially

what is given off from the probiotics,

426

: 00:22:18

from the good gut bacteria.

427

: 00:22:19

So things like butyrate

can be a post biotic.

428

: 00:22:23

And those are also going to really

help the lining of the gastrointestinal

429

: 00:22:27

system, the, uh, the stomach.

430

: 00:22:28

So this is something that is

highly beneficial for gut health.

431

: 00:22:33

Um, I really recommend doing

some research on a good probiotic

432

: 00:22:36

and also not only research, but

actually testing them on yourself.

433

: 00:22:40

Right.

434

: 00:22:40

It's very important.

435

: 00:22:41

That we find one that works for us

because we're all going to be very

436

: 00:22:44

unique and different from each other.

437

: 00:22:45

So just because one probiotic works

really, really well for someone, it

438

: 00:22:48

might not always work super well for you.

439

: 00:22:51

So making sure you're trying them

out and finding the ones that work

440

: 00:22:54

best for you is going to be key here.

441

: 00:22:56

Just to throw a few names out

there, uh, of some probiotics that I

442

: 00:23:00

personally do enjoy, um, the ritual.

443

: 00:23:03

Probiotic.

444

: 00:23:04

It's actually a pro post and prebiotic

all-in-one is called symbiotic.

445

: 00:23:09

That is, uh, one of my favorite

probiotics, actually, it's not just

446

: 00:23:14

a probiotic, it's called a symbiotic.

447

: 00:23:16

Um, but just to keep it simple

here, uh, it's one of my

448

: 00:23:18

favorite probiotics to take.

449

: 00:23:20

And on top of that, I've also

taken the seed probiotic.

450

: 00:23:23

And I did enjoy that one as well.

451

: 00:23:25

Uh, it was pretty good.

452

: 00:23:27

Not as good as the ritual one.

453

: 00:23:28

I did like the word ritual

one quite a bit better.

454

: 00:23:30

And then there's, uh, two other

companies that I actually haven't

455

: 00:23:33

tried yet, but I'm about to actually

very soon try them probably on black

456

: 00:23:39

Friday holiday person deals from them.

457

: 00:23:42

Um, and the two companies

are Omni Biotics.

458

: 00:23:45

I've heard some really

great things about them.

459

: 00:23:47

And then the other company

is going to be just thrive.

460

: 00:23:50

So both of those companies, I've heard

really high reviews and, um, just a lot

461

: 00:23:55

of people speaking very highly about them.

462

: 00:23:58

So they're also probably very good brands.

463

: 00:24:01

And, uh, like I said, go

ahead and try them out.

464

: 00:24:03

Give each one a couple months at the

minimum to really see the benefits.

465

: 00:24:07

This isn't something that's

gonna happen overnight.

466

: 00:24:09

So you do have to really pay

attention and also take them for.

467

: 00:24:13

You know, a little bit of time, like

we're looking at a minimum of like

468

: 00:24:15

60 to 90 days here for each of these

to really see the benefits of them.

469

: 00:24:20

So that's going to do it for

the, uh, pre pro and post biotic.

470

: 00:24:24

And then I'd also, as I mentioned already,

I would also recommend adding in possibly

471

: 00:24:29

some claustrum and truthfully claustrum,

uh, after taking it, like I'm serious,

472

: 00:24:34

I really enjoy the benefits of it.

473

: 00:24:36

And.

474

: 00:24:37

Even though I haven't seen a massive,

massive increase in my gut health per se.

475

: 00:24:41

I know it's helped my immune

system, which is tied to that.

476

: 00:24:44

And I've heard so many people

say that it is really helped them

477

: 00:24:47

with their, uh, digestive system.

478

: 00:24:50

Therefore, I'm going

to include it in here.

479

: 00:24:52

And there's also a lot of research

backing it, which is something that's

480

: 00:24:55

very important to have as well.

481

: 00:24:57

Obviously we want to make sure that

this is backed by science and it is.

482

: 00:25:01

So those are going to be the things

that I would start adding in to really

483

: 00:25:05

help to repair the, uh, the gut.

484

: 00:25:08

Right.

485

: 00:25:09

So we're going to want to focus on, you

know, Having these, uh, clean foods,

486

: 00:25:13

the bone broths, and also finding

a good pre pro post biotic, uh, as

487

: 00:25:19

well as finding, uh, the tri armor.

488

: 00:25:22

Claustrum.

489

: 00:25:23

If you're able to add that in

there, I highly recommend it.

490

: 00:25:26

If not, that's okay.

491

: 00:25:27

Still stick with these and

just test the things out.

492

: 00:25:30

Right.

493

: 00:25:30

We've got to see what works best for us.

494

: 00:25:33

And then the last one is going to be

actually, sorry, this is not the last one.

495

: 00:25:36

Second to last one.

496

: 00:25:38

Is going to be, to eat for gut health.

497

: 00:25:40

So while taking supplements is great

and it can have a ton of benefit.

498

: 00:25:46

Really.

499

: 00:25:47

It's a supplement, right?

500

: 00:25:49

It's not the whole thing.

501

: 00:25:51

The main area of focus is really actually

what you're eating, um, that is going to

502

: 00:25:55

have, in my opinion, the most dramatic

shift, not just on our gut health,

503

: 00:26:00

but on the health of our entire body.

504

: 00:26:02

Um, think about it like this, you eat

at least like three meals a day, right?

505

: 00:26:07

Supplements.

506

: 00:26:08

You only take them one

time and they're small.

507

: 00:26:10

You know what I mean?

508

: 00:26:10

It could be powerful of

course, and really potent, but.

509

: 00:26:14

Nonetheless, you're eating

all the time, right?

510

: 00:26:16

It's something you're going to do often.

511

: 00:26:18

And the food that you eat should be

a form of medicine for you, right?

512

: 00:26:22

It should be a food that is high and dense

in minerals and vitamins and, you know,

513

: 00:26:28

giving us the literal building blocks

of life, you know, protein, these are

514

: 00:26:32

things that are very important for us.

515

: 00:26:34

And we want to make sure that the

food we're putting in is doing.

516

: 00:26:37

You know, Like no harm, hopefully, and

really adding more benefit than harm.

517

: 00:26:42

So.

518

: 00:26:43

I want you to continue

consuming your bone broths.

519

: 00:26:46

That's going to be one of the big things.

520

: 00:26:48

Bone broth is incredible for the gut.

521

: 00:26:51

Um, you don't have to drink

it every single day, although

522

: 00:26:54

if you can, that's amazing.

523

: 00:26:55

Um, If you're.

524

: 00:26:57

Basically if your monetary allowance

allows you to do so then definitely

525

: 00:27:02

continue taking some bone broth.

526

: 00:27:04

Uh, as much as possible.

527

: 00:27:06

And then we really just want

to focus on eating and I say

528

: 00:27:09

this like over and over again.

529

: 00:27:11

So I'm sorry if you see it.

530

: 00:27:12

It feels like I'm beating

a dead horse here.

531

: 00:27:14

But we need to eat whole foods.

532

: 00:27:17

Okay.

533

: 00:27:17

And we're not talking about the

store whole foods I'm talking about.

534

: 00:27:20

Literal whole foods.

535

: 00:27:21

And so a whole food is something

that is close to the source.

536

: 00:27:25

Right.

537

: 00:27:26

And when I say that it's like, uh,

apple can be found in nature, right.

538

: 00:27:30

It's close to the source.

539

: 00:27:32

Um, apple sauce.

540

: 00:27:33

Can't necessarily be

found in nature, right.

541

: 00:27:35

It's processed down.

542

: 00:27:37

And then eventually you have

this kind of like soupy.

543

: 00:27:41

Consistency.

544

: 00:27:41

Right.

545

: 00:27:42

Which still delicious, but, um, right.

546

: 00:27:44

That's not something that we

can necessarily find in nature.

547

: 00:27:46

And if we want to go even a few

steps further like potato chips,

548

: 00:27:49

you're never going to find potato

chips just lying around in nature.

549

: 00:27:52

You're also not going to find Oreos.

550

: 00:27:53

You're not going to find Gushers like

these things do not naturally just occur.

551

: 00:27:59

In the world, right?

552

: 00:27:59

Like we have to create those, but

a whole food is something that has

553

: 00:28:04

very little to no processing at all.

554

: 00:28:06

So that's going to be our fruits and

vegetables and our meats and nuts.

555

: 00:28:09

And, you know, literally anything

that you could basically go

556

: 00:28:12

out into the world and find so.

557

: 00:28:14

Those are the things that we're going

to really want to be focusing on.

558

: 00:28:17

And on that note as well, we

really, really want to focus on

559

: 00:28:21

keeping those things organic.

560

: 00:28:23

We want to stay away from all the

pesticides, herbicides, insecticides,

561

: 00:28:26

rodenticides all the sides we

want to stay away from those.

562

: 00:28:29

You know, we don't want any

glyphosate getting into our

563

: 00:28:31

systems or as little as possible.

564

: 00:28:33

Right.

565

: 00:28:34

Um, we want to make sure we're not

getting an overload of these toxins

566

: 00:28:38

that are now unfortunately all around us

and in our environment, you know, from.

567

: 00:28:44

Literally all the stuff that they spray

on our crops to the things that they

568

: 00:28:48

put in our bedding and our couches and

our furniture and, and, you know, in the

569

: 00:28:52

air and the gasoline that's burned and

just all the different things, right?

570

: 00:28:56

Like there's too many toxins out there.

571

: 00:28:58

Um, but we don't need to continue

adding more through our diet.

572

: 00:29:02

Right.

573

: 00:29:03

So we want to make sure

we're buying organic produce.

574

: 00:29:06

That's really the best way to

avoid a lot of those nasty toxins

575

: 00:29:10

from getting into our systems.

576

: 00:29:12

And when it comes to meat, of

course, we need to focus on the

577

: 00:29:15

highest quality meat possible.

578

: 00:29:17

It really does matter here for one.

579

: 00:29:19

You really don't want industrialized meat.

580

: 00:29:21

Um, it's poor treatment for the animals.

581

: 00:29:24

And honestly, it's just not something

that we should be supporting.

582

: 00:29:27

You want to support, you know, these local

farmers that are really doing it right.

583

: 00:29:31

Their grass.

584

: 00:29:32

Uh, grass grazing their cows, you

know, grass fed grass finished.

585

: 00:29:35

Um, same with like lamb.

586

: 00:29:36

You can have grass fed grass finished

lamb when it comes to seafood.

587

: 00:29:40

That one's a little bit more difficult

because I understand, you know, there

588

: 00:29:43

are high levels of mercury out there and,

you know, things like salmon and tuna.

589

: 00:29:47

Uh, I, salmon is one that I really love.

590

: 00:29:49

And I heard recently that it

started to have higher levels

591

: 00:29:52

of mercury as well, or, or I.

592

: 00:29:54

It might've been either mercury or,

um, plastics in it, but nonetheless.

593

: 00:29:59

Basically, you know, our oceans are being

polluted and, um, it's very unfortunate.

594

: 00:30:05

So we have to be cautious with that.

595

: 00:30:07

And then there's this whole debate

between, you know, is it better

596

: 00:30:10

to have farmed fish or wild fish?

597

: 00:30:12

In my personal opinion, I do believe

that sustainably caught wild fish

598

: 00:30:18

is going to still be a better bet.

599

: 00:30:20

I think it's going to have.

600

: 00:30:21

Um, better.

601

: 00:30:23

Benefits as opposed to

it's a downsides, I guess.

602

: 00:30:29

Like, honestly, I, that, that's

just kinda my opinion on it.

603

: 00:30:32

Um, I think there's still a lot of

benefit from having, you know, wild caught

604

: 00:30:35

salmon, um, as opposed to not having it.

605

: 00:30:38

Um, that's a personal preference here, but

seafood does have a lot of benefit to it.

606

: 00:30:42

So trying to find wild caught sustainably

sourced seafood is going to be something

607

: 00:30:48

that I personally would recommend.

608

: 00:30:50

And, you know, with, uh, chicken as well.

609

: 00:30:52

We want to look for organic heirloom if

possible and, uh, you know, free range.

610

: 00:30:57

We want them roaming out and eat and bunch

of little critters and getting all the

611

: 00:31:01

sunlight on them, like want high quality

really, really want to focus on that.

612

: 00:31:05

And, um, just to kind of

share a quick story here.

613

: 00:31:09

One of my, uh, old bosses back in

the day he had Crohn's disease.

614

: 00:31:14

And one of the wild things was, uh, when

he would start getting some serious,

615

: 00:31:18

serious, serious, like flare ups.

616

: 00:31:21

Like literally, he

wouldn't even come to work.

617

: 00:31:23

It was so bad.

618

: 00:31:24

Uh, one of the things he would do is he

would do juicing for a little while, and

619

: 00:31:28

that would kind of like calm his stomach.

620

: 00:31:29

That with a mixture of actually

fasting, which as I recommended in the

621

: 00:31:33

beginning of the show is very potent.

622

: 00:31:35

So he would fast, he would do

a juice cleanse, but then he

623

: 00:31:38

would notice that if he ate beef,

that was conventionally farmed.

624

: 00:31:43

It would actually cause flare ups for him.

625

: 00:31:45

But if he ate grassfed beef, He wouldn't

get flare ups and that's really wild.

626

: 00:31:50

It's something that stuck

with me to this day.

627

: 00:31:52

And he swears by it.

628

: 00:31:53

He says every single time he has like a

hamburger from conventional raised, like

629

: 00:31:57

beef always causes an issue for him.

630

: 00:32:00

But if he has a grass fed burger

does not cause the same issues.

631

: 00:32:03

So.

632

: 00:32:04

Really truly the quality does matter here.

633

: 00:32:07

And then in terms of the food that

we want to avoid, I mean, this

634

: 00:32:10

goes with just in general, like

to have a healthy diet, right.

635

: 00:32:14

Is to avoid sugar.

636

: 00:32:17

Alcohol fried foods.

637

: 00:32:19

Ultra processed foods, right?

638

: 00:32:21

Like these are the things we really want

to stay away from sugar because sugar

639

: 00:32:25

can feed bad gut bacteria in our bodies,

along with a slew of other issues.

640

: 00:32:30

Right.

641

: 00:32:30

But mainly focusing on the gut here.

642

: 00:32:32

Um, it can, you know, cause like

candida and all these different

643

: 00:32:36

things that we really don't want.

644

: 00:32:38

And then in terms of alcohol, Well,

you've heard me talk about this many

645

: 00:32:42

times on here, but alcohol is just not.

646

: 00:32:47

It's unfortunate.

647

: 00:32:48

I would love to be like,

yeah, I drink alcohol.

648

: 00:32:50

Like why not?

649

: 00:32:51

But unfortunately alcohol is a poison

and it does not benefit the body.

650

: 00:32:55

And fortunately, I'm, I know

there's some people who say

651

: 00:32:58

having a glass of red wine is.

652

: 00:33:00

And, you know, beneficial, and maybe

there is some truth to, that could be,

653

: 00:33:03

um, I'm not here to tell you what to do.

654

: 00:33:05

And I do believe there is a balance

in life that we need to maintain.

655

: 00:33:08

So I'm not saying you need to

fully get it out of your system.

656

: 00:33:10

100%.

657

: 00:33:12

But I will tell you this alcohol

is not doing any benefit for your

658

: 00:33:15

gut when you consume alcohol.

659

: 00:33:17

It is.

660

: 00:33:18

You know, kind of an antibiotic, um, it's

going to kill the bacteria of your gut.

661

: 00:33:23

Uh, because it is

antibacterial to a degree.

662

: 00:33:25

You can think of like back in

the olden days when they would

663

: 00:33:27

get cut and they would throw some

alcohol on there, like whiskey.

664

: 00:33:31

To try to disinfect it while you're

essentially kind of disinfecting

665

: 00:33:34

your microbiome as well, which

is not something that's ideal.

666

: 00:33:39

Uh, and then in terms

of fried foods, I mean.

667

: 00:33:42

Fried foods are really, really bad

for you, especially because they're

668

: 00:33:46

typically fried in like canola oil or

soybean oil, or, you know, some really

669

: 00:33:52

terrible oil that is just not good for

us to be consuming in the first place.

670

: 00:33:56

But then you put on top of that, that it's

being fried and fried and fried and use

671

: 00:34:00

over and over and over and over again.

672

: 00:34:01

And it's at this really super high heat.

673

: 00:34:03

So you're getting really rancid

oils typically, and it's just not

674

: 00:34:09

good for your digestive system.

675

: 00:34:10

So definitely want.

676

: 00:34:11

To avoid the fried foods and

then ultra processed foods.

677

: 00:34:14

These are like pretty much

anything that comes in a box.

678

: 00:34:17

Anything that's in a box

and it's frozen, right?

679

: 00:34:20

Like these are all ultra processed foods.

680

: 00:34:22

And unfortunately the standard American

diet for kids I believe is like at

681

: 00:34:27

least 60% ultra processed foods.

682

: 00:34:30

So.

683

: 00:34:31

We really, really need to

get that out of our diets.

684

: 00:34:35

Something, we just

should not be consuming.

685

: 00:34:37

Uh, and in terms of, if you're at a

grocery store, a really good way of

686

: 00:34:41

staying away from the processed foods, the

ultra processed foods is to stick to the

687

: 00:34:45

outside perimeter of the grocery store.

688

: 00:34:47

Right?

689

: 00:34:48

So on the outside of the

grocery store, think about it.

690

: 00:34:50

What is it that you usually come

across, come across fresh produce,

691

: 00:34:53

like fruits and vegetables.

692

: 00:34:54

You come across the meat department,

you come across dairy department.

693

: 00:34:58

Um, you'll probably come across even

some nuts, uh, most of the time.

694

: 00:35:01

So this is the area that we

want to stick to and we want to

695

: 00:35:05

avoid going through the Isles.

696

: 00:35:06

Where they have all the box goods is

stuff that's very shelf stable, right?

697

: 00:35:11

Like these are the

things we want to avoid.

698

: 00:35:14

So those are the first three, and

now we're at the last one, which

699

: 00:35:19

might not sound very important

to the average person, but is

700

: 00:35:22

actually very crucial to gut health.

701

: 00:35:26

And that is working on our

stress levels and our sleep.

702

: 00:35:31

So.

703

: 00:35:32

There is a connection between

our brains and our guts.

704

: 00:35:37

K it's gut brain axis.

705

: 00:35:39

And they're in constant communication.

706

: 00:35:42

And when we live in a state of

stress for a majority of our day,

707

: 00:35:48

That means that we're going to have

likely elevated cortisol levels

708

: 00:35:51

for an extended period of time.

709

: 00:35:53

That is not healthy.

710

: 00:35:55

And cortisol, if not pre processed

properly can even lead to issues

711

: 00:36:00

such as inflammation in the gut.

712

: 00:36:02

And this is coming from,

uh, I forget his name.

713

: 00:36:04

Exactly.

714

: 00:36:05

I think it's Kiran Krishnan.

715

: 00:36:07

I want to say, um, he's a

doctor and really studies.

716

: 00:36:10

The microbiome does.

717

: 00:36:12

A whole talk on like how

important, you know, our stress

718

: 00:36:16

levels are and how it increases.

719

: 00:36:18

Our cortisol, but basically the whole sum

of that is when you're super stressed.

720

: 00:36:24

You can have elevated levels of cortisol.

721

: 00:36:26

And then that can really affect our guts

by causing some inflammation in the gut.

722

: 00:36:30

So.

723

: 00:36:32

One way of helping to calm

our nervous system is through

724

: 00:36:36

meditation and deep breath.

725

: 00:36:37

It's very simple.

726

: 00:36:38

Like nothing, nothing crazy here.

727

: 00:36:41

You just literally need to

stimulate that Vegas nerve.

728

: 00:36:44

And put yourself in a rest

and digest state, which is

729

: 00:36:47

also good for our guts, right?

730

: 00:36:49

Because think about it, think about what

I just said, the rest and digest state,

731

: 00:36:54

if you're eating food and you're not

in a rest and digest state, if you're

732

: 00:36:58

in an elevated stress state, that means

you're in the fight or flight state.

733

: 00:37:03

So you're not, your body is not thinking

about how to properly digest food.

734

: 00:37:08

So when you digest food, you

want to be in a calm state.

735

: 00:37:12

You might want to take some really deep

belly breaths before you eat your food.

736

: 00:37:17

Meaning you inhale and you IX.

737

: 00:37:19

Expand your belly out.

738

: 00:37:20

And then on the exhale, you're

going to contract it in.

739

: 00:37:23

And that's going to help

stimulate that biggest nerve

740

: 00:37:25

and bring you into a calm state.

741

: 00:37:28

So that's a really great idea

in terms of before you eat.

742

: 00:37:31

But just overall, we really want

to help bring ourselves into a

743

: 00:37:35

calm state at the end of the day.

744

: 00:37:37

Right.

745

: 00:37:37

We don't need to be in this elevated

cortisol state all day long.

746

: 00:37:41

And I know it's because we have

a lot of things to worry about.

747

: 00:37:45

Um, bills.

748

: 00:37:47

Our kids, our family members.

749

: 00:37:50

Uh, you know, Driving through traffic.

750

: 00:37:52

Like obviously that's a pretty stressful

experience most of the times, but we do

751

: 00:37:57

need to find a way to come down from that.

752

: 00:38:00

And be able to really relax ourselves.

753

: 00:38:02

So.

754

: 00:38:03

Definitely doing some breath and

meditation is going to be really,

755

: 00:38:07

really beneficial for this.

756

: 00:38:09

And it's going to help our guts.

757

: 00:38:11

And in terms of sleep.

758

: 00:38:13

I mean, sleep is key for

absolutely everything.

759

: 00:38:17

If you are not sleeping right then.

760

: 00:38:20

You're going to see it show

up in all parts of your body.

761

: 00:38:23

When you go to sleep.

762

: 00:38:25

You are entering a deep rest and

repair state that is literally good for

763

: 00:38:29

your entire body, not just your gut.

764

: 00:38:31

But obviously of course it is also good

for our gut, so we need to make sure

765

: 00:38:35

we're also getting some really good sleep.

766

: 00:38:38

And to get good sleep.

767

: 00:38:39

You also can't be in a super stress state.

768

: 00:38:41

You need to be in a rest and

digest state, which is the

769

: 00:38:44

parasympathetic nervous system state.

770

: 00:38:46

So that is the goal is to try

to decrease a lot of the stress

771

: 00:38:51

that we're going through.

772

: 00:38:53

And that's really going to help us

with, uh, our guts, which I know

773

: 00:38:57

that sounds weird, but I promise you.

774

: 00:38:59

Um, a lot of the times when my gut

would act up, it would actually act

775

: 00:39:03

up when I was nervous or when I was

super excited about something or

776

: 00:39:07

basically giving a little bit of stress.

777

: 00:39:10

Would a lot of times act up with my

stomach and cause it to flare up.

778

: 00:39:14

So, uh, absolutely.

779

: 00:39:15

There is a connection there

between the gut and the brain.

780

: 00:39:18

And we really do need to be

mindful of this and, you know,

781

: 00:39:22

try to calm ourselves down, right.

782

: 00:39:24

Allow us to get into the rest and

digest state so that we can help to

783

: 00:39:28

allow our digestive system to take

a break and to do its work properly.

784

: 00:39:33

So that is going to bring us

to the end of this episode.

785

: 00:39:37

However, before we end this episode,

I love to always go over everything

786

: 00:39:42

that I covered in this episode.

787

: 00:39:43

So you can actually put

all of this information.

788

: 00:39:47

You know, into use in your life

and give you some actionable steps.

789

: 00:39:49

So that way you're not just listening

to these episodes, but rather you're

790

: 00:39:52

able to implement them into your life.

791

: 00:39:55

So starting off with number

one on how to heal our guts.

792

: 00:39:59

We want to avoid putting the bad

stuff in, so we would need to

793

: 00:40:03

stop putting anything in right.

794

: 00:40:05

Which is a fast, we want

to do a three-day fast.

795

: 00:40:07

If we're able to.

796

: 00:40:09

Um, we want to be mindful of.

797

: 00:40:11

You know, any restrictions that we might

have here, but a three-day fast is really,

798

: 00:40:15

really good at resetting and repairing

our digestive system and our gut.

799

: 00:40:19

And then number two is going to be too.

800

: 00:40:22

Build up and repair our leaky guts.

801

: 00:40:25

So this is going to look like, you

know, following our three-day fast

802

: 00:40:30

with some bone broth, it's going

to look like finding a really good

803

: 00:40:33

probiotic and it's going to look

like also adding in some claustrum.

804

: 00:40:37

And really any other things that are going

to be beneficial for the digestive system

805

: 00:40:43

could also be something like magnesium.

806

: 00:40:45

And then number three is going

to be to eat for gut health.

807

: 00:40:48

Right?

808

: 00:40:48

Which once again, this is just

literally eating a healthy diet.

809

: 00:40:52

We want to focus on whole foods.

810

: 00:40:53

So fruits, vegetables, you know, foods

that have a lot of fiber in them.

811

: 00:40:58

We want to also eat.

812

: 00:40:59

Um, high quality meats.

813

: 00:41:01

If our diets allow, uh, some

nuts can be good as well.

814

: 00:41:05

So just basically foods that can be found.

815

: 00:41:08

If you were to walk outside and look at

some trees or some animals like that are,

816

: 00:41:13

those are essentially the whole foods.

817

: 00:41:15

And we want to avoid eating things

that are high in sugar . Alcohol fried

818

: 00:41:20

foods and ultra processed foods, right?

819

: 00:41:22

These are the things we really

want to stay away from and

820

: 00:41:26

really stick to the whole foods.

821

: 00:41:28

And then last but not least is

decreasing our stress levels and

822

: 00:41:32

getting high quality sleep because.

823

: 00:41:36

We know that when we go to sleep,

we have deep rest and repair.

824

: 00:41:40

And when we are able to calm our bodies

down and get into that parasympathetic

825

: 00:41:45

state, we're also able to allow our

digestive systems to work properly.

826

: 00:41:50

So one thing I have to say to you, And.

827

: 00:41:55

This is what I would tell someone who's

going through like some serious irritable

828

: 00:41:59

bowel syndrome issues, or even, I don't

know, Crohn's disease, whatever, like

829

: 00:42:04

I'm not a doctor, obviously I'm not, you

know, a medical professional by any means.

830

: 00:42:08

But this would be just one friend

to another recommendation here.

831

: 00:42:13

And that is take all the

steps that I've given you.

832

: 00:42:17

And implement them.

833

: 00:42:19

Truly like go after it,

do not cheat at all.

834

: 00:42:23

Just full on, try this out

for at least one month.

835

: 00:42:28

If not even like three

months and I promise you.

836

: 00:42:33

If you stick to this.

837

: 00:42:35

Like layout that I've given

you, you are absolutely going

838

: 00:42:39

to see some benefits from this.

839

: 00:42:41

And I feel super confident in this

because when I was going through all of

840

: 00:42:45

my issues and all I literally did was

some intermittent fasting and salads.

841

: 00:42:51

I felt so, so much better.

842

: 00:42:53

I wasn't doing anything else that

wasn't adding the probiotics in there.

843

: 00:42:57

I wasn't, you know, necessarily working

on my stress and my sleep levels.

844

: 00:43:00

Like nothing.

845

: 00:43:01

I wasn't doing anything else.

846

: 00:43:02

I just change my diet and had a

little bit of intermittent fasting.

847

: 00:43:07

And I found.

848

: 00:43:08

So much benefit in that.

849

: 00:43:10

So if you do all of these steps, I would

be amazed if you did not see some kind

850

: 00:43:16

of improvement, but the thing is here,

you have to be disciplined, right?

851

: 00:43:20

You have to put in the time

our bodies need time to heal.

852

: 00:43:24

They're not going to heal overnight.

853

: 00:43:25

And that's the thing we expect really

quick turnarounds on things here,

854

: 00:43:30

but our body takes time to work and

to heal and using food as nutrition

855

: 00:43:35

and food is medicine takes time.

856

: 00:43:38

It doesn't happen overnight.

857

: 00:43:39

So you have to be consistent.

858

: 00:43:40

You have to be disciplined.

859

: 00:43:41

And you have to put in some time on this.

860

: 00:43:43

So.

861

: 00:43:44

Literally a month minimum, if you

could do a month minimum of what

862

: 00:43:49

I'm laying out here before you.

863

: 00:43:51

You're going to see some dramatic

increases and for the person who is

864

: 00:43:55

truly going through some stomach issues.

865

: 00:43:59

Like, what do you have to lose?

866

: 00:44:01

Cause I've been there.

867

: 00:44:02

I know what it feels like.

868

: 00:44:03

It freaking sucks.

869

: 00:44:04

I would've been happy to try

almost anything to get rid of the

870

: 00:44:09

issues that I was going through.

871

: 00:44:10

And so someone laid this out for

me and told me to do one month.

872

: 00:44:14

I would have gone after this, like

crazy and I highly recommend it for you.

873

: 00:44:17

If you are having gut

issues to give this a try.

874

: 00:44:20

Now, if you're a person who has

occasional gut issues, you know, some,

875

: 00:44:23

some distress here and there, maybe

some constipation, things like that.

876

: 00:44:28

Still give this a try, right?

877

: 00:44:29

Like it's not, you know, As intensive

a need as maybe someone who is

878

: 00:44:34

dealing with like IBS or Crohn's

or something along those lines.

879

: 00:44:37

But there's still so much benefit in this.

880

: 00:44:39

And by following this protocol, it's

not just going to be good for your gut.

881

: 00:44:43

It's going to be good

for your entire body.

882

: 00:44:45

Um, you know, Hippocrates the, uh, What

people call the father of modern I said

883

: 00:44:52

that all disease begins in the gut and I

believe there's so much truth in there.

884

: 00:44:57

As I stated earlier, over 70%

of the immune system physically

885

: 00:45:01

resides in the digestive system.

886

: 00:45:06

Like that alone.

887

: 00:45:07

I would tell you that our gut

health is super, super important.

888

: 00:45:11

Plus also you could just

look at it this way.

889

: 00:45:12

If you're not digesting

your foods properly.

890

: 00:45:15

That means you're not getting the

maximum benefits out of your food.

891

: 00:45:19

You're probably not getting all the

minerals and the vitamins that you could

892

: 00:45:22

possibly be getting out of your foods.

893

: 00:45:25

But if you're not digesting them

properly, they might just be passing

894

: 00:45:28

through you only halfway digested.

895

: 00:45:30

Right.

896

: 00:45:30

And you're only receiving

half the benefit.

897

: 00:45:32

So really dialing in the

digestive system is absolutely

898

: 00:45:38

key for health for everybody.

899

: 00:45:40

So.

900

: 00:45:40

Go ahead and give this a try.

901

: 00:45:41

Um, if you see any benefit from this reach

out to me, I would absolutely love to hear

902

: 00:45:47

any like success or results from this.

903

: 00:45:50

And even if you don't feel success

from this, please reach out to me.

904

: 00:45:53

I'd be so interested to hear.

905

: 00:45:55

Uh, if you don't receive any benefit,

I would be very, very surprised.

906

: 00:45:59

Um, and I would love to chat with

you personally, but if you do this,

907

: 00:46:02

like I said, I'm literally, okay.

908

: 00:46:05

Not a hundred percent.

909

: 00:46:06

I won't go.

910

: 00:46:07

I am 99.99%.

911

: 00:46:08

Sure.

912

: 00:46:08

You're going to receive some benefits.

913

: 00:46:10

So go ahead and reach out to me

and tell me if you try this and if

914

: 00:46:13

you receive any benefit or don't.

915

: 00:46:15

Um, but I would love to hear

any feedback from you guys.

916

is going to do it for today's episode.
