1:14

with nutrition and believes that food

1:17

1:28

York. But today she's

1:30

calling in from Florida where she's

1:32

working on her latest book anxiety

1:34

free with food.

1:36

Welcome Liana. Oh thank you so

1:38

much. Jill I'm so excited to be

1:40

here.

1:42

We met about eight years ago

1:45

at a workshop. You noticed

1:47

me and you were like go and right

1:49

for it. You like HEY HI MY

1:51

NAME IS Leona and I like you

1:54

had such a wonderful presence about

1:56

you and you were so laid

1:58

and and easy to talk to and

2:00

it really made me feel special make

2:03

me feel like well she really wasn't because you

2:05

were standing next to me. You really walked up to

2:07

me.

2:08

I want to be your friend like hey

2:10

you're cool. Yes I was like if my mind

2:12

was like oh yeah cool I want to go talk to

2:14

her I want to be friends with her.

2:16

So yeah I just went

2:18

I was like high obviously

2:20

on audio right now but I hope that we can record

2:23

this on a video and that everyone

2:25

can see how beautiful Leon

2:27

is and how much free skin is glowing

2:29

she looks so healthy.

2:31

But it wasn't always so Leona had to

2:34

go through this huge learning curve

2:36

and let's talk about that first like

2:38

I want to understand how you've

2:40

come from dealing with all these

2:42

health issues to where you are today.

2:45

Yes. So I was

2:47

one of those people who had to hit

2:49

rock bottom before my life really

2:51

took a turn for the positive.

2:53

And so I was 21 when I ended

2:56

up with a golf ball sized tumor in

2:58

my neck in my lymphatic system

3:00

and I was in hospital had a biopsy

3:03

I had early stages of cancer and

3:05

I was very addicted to junk

3:08

foods. And at 21

3:10

sitting in hospital I just remember thinking oh my

3:12

gosh what have I done to myself.

3:14

And I knew I had done it to myself because my

3:16

diet was so bad and

3:19

I had an upbringing in outback Australia

3:22

with very indigenous rich lifestyle

3:24

and so they taught me that the

3:26

healthiest way for us to eat was to go out to our own backyard

3:29

and eat foods that come straight from the earth straight

3:31

from the plant or the bush because that

3:34

would provide us with nutrition and not only

3:36

that but spirit like aliveness

3:38

it would provide us with like a life force.

3:40

And so when I moved away

3:43

from the outback I started to indulge in junk

3:45

food and became so obsessed

3:47

became addicted with sugar I knew it was

3:49

so far removed from nature. This food

3:51

that I was eating and I couldn't stop

3:54

myself from eating it. The impulse was stronger

3:56

and the addiction was stronger than I was. So

3:59

when I was in hospital even though I was diagnosed with

4:01

this golf ball sized tumor to me

4:03

the biggest problem was what was causing

4:06

it. And that was being addicted to eating

4:08

junk foods and just sabotaging

4:11

and destroying my body. And so

4:13

that was my turning point and that's when things started

4:15

to unravel and I really started to

4:17

dive into. OK I need to go in

4:19

and do the work and do the deep

4:22

work and heal this once and

4:24

for all. And so

4:26

that's what I did and that's what started my whole

4:28

health path and my whole health journey.

4:31

It's truly an incredible journey and especially

4:33

because you had this knowledge is most

4:36

things from nature like you did fresh and

4:38

then in moving away from that and

4:40

then coming back to it you like ok I actually

4:42

do know how to take care of myself

4:45

and now I have no excuse anymore this is life

4:47

threatening.

4:48

Exactly. Now you know my body's not

4:50

forgiving me from that so now I have

4:52

to.

4:53

And so I started to

4:55

think of OK well how can I incorporate Well

4:57

the indigenous people taught me the Aboriginal people

4:59

taught me and this modern world

5:01

we live in so how can I bring nature

5:04

into that. Because I thought you know

5:06

I crave cookie dough and gummy bears and

5:08

chocolate and burgers and fries and

5:10

Tucker is like how can I still eat all those

5:12

foods. But in a way that's not going

5:14

to destroy my body. So

5:16

how can I eat them or still taste good. But it's

5:18

can be healthy at the same time. And

5:20

so that's when I started making recipes every

5:22

time I had a craving so I would make

5:24

cookie dough out of almond flour and

5:27

honey with some cookout names and some

5:29

vanilla and sea salt and it was just delicious.

5:31

And that fulfilled all my cravings so

5:34

that I didn't crave the stuff that was

5:36

destroying my health.

5:37

So you were replacing the

5:40

ingredients that were not so good for a

5:42

better more wholesome natural

5:44

ingredients and it would taste

5:46

as good better like worth

5:48

like.

5:49

What do you think. Sir to me it tasted

5:51

better and I was surprised

5:53

because I thought wow I'm just going

5:55

to eat this whole bowl of cookie dough because

5:57

this is.

5:59

From me eating like a whole packet of

6:01

bad cookies and I thought I'm getting

6:04

nutrition from this I'm getting protein

6:06

and magnesium antioxidants from

6:08

all the nuts and the honey whereas from

6:10

the other cookies I was just destroying

6:12

my body with the wheat gluten

6:15

with dairy with refined white sugar

6:17

all the chemical ingredients so it was

6:19

a major upgrade. And now since

6:21

I've become a nutritionist I've discovered

6:23

that there's actually a term for this it's called

6:25

replacement therapy so

6:28

I didn't know that it was a thing. Yes.

6:31

So replacement therapy and

6:33

this works for most people

6:35

who have addictions.

6:36

I would say ninety five percent of people

6:38

replacement therapy is the only

6:40

thing that works because if someone is addicted

6:43

to something especially type of food

6:46

it's very unlikely if you say OK you can

6:48

never eat sugar again or you can never have cookies

6:50

again.

6:51

So replacing it makes total sense

6:53

but with a better version.

6:55

Yes. And then then you don't miss the

6:57

bad thing.

6:58

So the tumor eventually completely disappeared.

7:01

It did in three months it completely drained out

7:03

of my system it was gone.

7:05

So the body naturally resolved

7:07

it. So you didn't have to get surgery. No. No

7:10

chemo nothing that I play.

7:12

Yeah I knew that if I had just gotten surgery

7:14

and cut it out that I wasn't addressing the root cause

7:16

and that I still would have been addicted to bad foods

7:19

and going to eating bad foods and I do

7:21

believe that if we do just cut something

7:23

out of our body and without addressing the root

7:25

cause the deep cause that it'll

7:27

pop up somewhere else.

7:29

So Liana do you do you work with a lot of people

7:31

that are dealing with early stage cancer

7:33

or more deep into

7:35

the journey. Talk a little bit about how

7:37

you help.

7:38

I mean it's a it's it's a tough one so for some

7:40

people to understand that they could heal

7:43

themselves in a way that they never thought

7:45

they could. And what do you say.

7:48

Diet obviously has a role in

7:50

our health and it's actually a lot of science

7:52

to to back that up when

7:54

we eat something. It changes the chemistry

7:56

in our body in ourselves and also our blood

7:59

and our brain chemistry as well. So

8:02

I think that people need to be more educated

8:04

and more empowered that they

8:06

their health actually is in their hands.

8:08

Definitely. And then of course as a supernatural

8:10

healing that can come as well from Universal

8:13

from God and then some

8:15

people choose to go the medical route.

8:17

And I also believe in that for some people

8:19

so when someone comes to me

8:21

with cancer I say OK well

8:24

what do you feel intuitively is the best

8:26

move for you do you want to go completely

8:28

natural. Do you want to mix chemo

8:30

and diet together or do you want to do surgery

8:32

and diet together. So I believe in

8:35

giving people that empowerment and

8:37

they can be working with a doctor but regardless

8:40

of whatever cancer it is there must be a nutritional

8:42

healing aspect to it.

8:44

So if even if you're getting chemo you still

8:46

have to eat healthy as well

8:48

and address that then your chances of healing cancer

8:50

are even more even higher. And

8:53

eating a good diet helps to boost your

8:55

immune system. So they have a better

8:57

chance of that.

8:58

Wow. It's so valuable to hear you

9:00

talk about this because so many people

9:02

deal with cancer nowadays it feels like everyone

9:05

knows at least one or two people

9:07

in their neighborhood and their family

9:09

and their group of friends that have

9:11

it or are dealing with it in

9:14

your cancer free with food book

9:16

you share all the foods

9:18

that can help prevent and

9:21

also heal your body.

9:22

Can you give us the let's say

9:24

top three things that we getting

9:27

to prevent ourselves from cancer

9:29

cells growing saw the book

9:31

like you said is it just for people with cancer it's to prevent

9:33

cancer and so science does

9:36

point in the direction that if we keep our body in

9:38

a certain environment it can be cancer free

9:40

meaning cancer can't grow in

9:42

a cancer free environment.

9:44

Sorry. The three things to keep it

9:46

cancer free is the first

9:48

one is to drink liquid chlorophyll

9:51

every day. So chlorophyll is

9:53

a compound as you know a gel and dark leafy

9:55

greens. So that's in Kale

9:57

broccoli spinach. So we get

9:59

chlorophyll when we eat dark leafy greens

10:01

but it's more potent if we drink

10:03

it in a smoothie or a juice or a

10:06

water. So I always recommend

10:08

people have one green drink every single

10:10

day whether that's the smoothie the juice or

10:12

the liquid chlorophyll liquid chlorophyll

10:14

as a supplement. So it's an extract from a

10:16

dark leafy greens that's the easiest way

10:19

to do it. It costs like 15

10:21

dollars for a bottle that will last you over a month.

10:24

So and it takes 10 seconds.

10:26

I actually get the mint version of it.

10:28

It's really green. Do not

10:30

drop it on your clothes or it

10:33

will stain. It's very concentrated.

10:35

But that's how you know like it's really powerful stuff.

10:38

Number two is tumor Rick.

10:40

So tumor Rick is so popular and it's

10:42

well known to be anti inflammatory and

10:45

it is great for more body types

10:47

so you can take turmeric in

10:50

supplement form as well. If you don't like the

10:52

taste or you don't want to get yellow fingernails

10:54

if you're cooking with it.

10:56

Another thing that stains. Yep.

10:58

Yeah. Just stay.

10:59

Yeah I've you seeing a lot of turmeric

11:01

here in Maui. They have fresh turmeric.

11:03

I always say fresh is best if you get it in it's

11:05

more Hall form. So if you're getting tumor

11:08

grew and for those of you listening who have never

11:10

seen a tumor grow it looks like ginger it looks

11:12

like a little baby cause it if you cut it open it's

11:14

bright orange so you can juice that

11:16

put it in smoothies you can also boil it make

11:18

it a tea number three what

11:21

would that be.

11:22

So number three is well

11:25

I have a top 10 list in the book but for the sake

11:27

of this podcast let's go with cocoa powder.

11:30

Oh hi how that are

11:33

made the top list because it's

11:35

so high and magnesium and

11:38

magnesium helps to relax the body

11:40

and then also shine love studies of people who

11:42

don't have enough magnesium magnesium

11:44

deficient have more

11:46

depression anxiety more stress in the body

11:49

and when we have more stress in the body we have more oxidative

11:52

stress in the body and that makes the body very

11:54

acidic and that's the environment that cancer breeds

11:56

in. So I also eat chocolate

11:58

every single day from pure cocoa but

12:00

that's the key. It should be pure cow with

12:03

mixed with other honey or coconut sugar

12:05

like a safe sugar that the body can digest.

12:08

So what other like sugars

12:10

or sweeteners can we use that is most

12:12

safe.

12:13

So honey is very safe and

12:16

it has a lot of nutrients especially if you

12:18

can get local honey it will help boost

12:20

your immune system. You can also do maple

12:22

syrup. You could do Monk fruit you could use stevia

12:24

or coconut sugar.

12:26

All good options. I love

12:28

it. Let's take a quick break

12:30

and we'll be right back.

12:38

Hello out there. This

12:41

is Jenny Curtis.

12:42

I am a podcast producer

12:44

at Kurt co media and I am

12:46

currently sitting alone in a

12:49

very empty podcast studio

12:51

surrounded by hand sanitizer and

12:54

I'm recording this in an effort to reach out.

12:58

It's not an easy time right now. We don't know

13:00

what the day to day is going to look like for the next

13:02

few weeks even months. So

13:04

I'm proposing something let's

13:06

all make something together. Kurt

13:08

Commedia has launched a podcast called

13:10

a moment of your time. These are bite sized

13:12

episodes and each one features you out

13:15

there. Go to Kurt Ko dot com

13:17

slash a moment of your time for more information.

13:21

We may have to stay apart let's

13:24

create together.

13:40

We're back. All the things you're doing

13:43

for charity and to help firefighters

13:45

and you go to food shows you

13:47

Coop lives. I mean the list goes on.

13:50

So obviously there's other people involved.

13:52

And you have you know teams of people that you work

13:54

with. But the drive is

13:58

unbelievable.

13:58

You're unstoppable. And it's a beautiful

14:01

thing to witness. And I think it's also

14:03

very inspiring.

14:04

I know a lot of the listeners

14:07

would want to know how do you really

14:10

continue the course as you do

14:12

and stay positive and and

14:14

get to achieve the

14:16

goals the things that you have in mind that are important to

14:18

you.

14:19

Yeah well thank you for that

14:21

acknowledgement and I guess

14:24

you know I just realized life is so short

14:26

and I don't want to have any

14:28

regrets.

14:29

I don't want to wake up one day when

14:31

I'm 40 50 60 and think Oh man

14:33

I had so many gifts

14:36

from God. I really do believe that God gives

14:38

us all different gifts and we it's

14:41

up to us whether we use them or not. So

14:43

I don't want to waste any of that. And yeah

14:46

I just I cannot stand the feeling of regret.

14:48

It's the worst feeling of

14:51

all I should have done that or I knew I

14:53

should have e-mailed that person all connected with this

14:55

person and I didn't. So I learned that

14:57

early on and yes I just go

14:59

after it each day and work as hard as I can.

15:01

And yeah I mean obviously

15:04

it doesn't always work out. So there's also

15:06

a lot of rejection with this and I think that's what

15:08

people try and avoid when they're going

15:10

after their dreams.

15:11

So I wake up in the Morning now and my focus

15:14

is different so I'm focusing on OK who

15:16

is my who are the people I'm helping today

15:19

and you know every single day and as we're sitting

15:21

here talking there's someone who doesn't have here

15:24

right now because they have cancer

15:26

and they're getting chemo and they

15:28

wish they would have just a tiny

15:30

bit of hair. So I never forget

15:33

that I always remember that and so that

15:35

gets me up in the morning and wants me to be fully

15:37

energized and go out there and help those people who

15:40

want to be helped and want to learn

15:42

about food as medicine and

15:44

want to feel some peace with what they're going

15:46

through as well.

15:48

And I'm also just grateful for for

15:50

life as well you know I'm grateful to have him I'm grateful

15:52

to have hands and feet and so

15:54

I think that putting that into practice like that

15:56

doesn't just come gratitude doesn't

15:58

just come happiness doesn't just come.

16:01

I think we have to work at it and it has to be a choice

16:04

to be dedicated and to

16:06

a bigger purpose also for

16:08

me personally makes a huge

16:10

difference in how I'm motivated

16:12

because if I'm just doing things for me

16:14

I'm less motivated than if I'm actually thinking

16:17

outside of myself where I'm like Who am I

16:19

helping today who can I lift

16:21

up if you connect to that bigger purpose

16:23

then you just naturally start doing

16:25

things again and reaching out. It's almost like

16:28

a pool right instead of a push

16:31

you're you're getting a pool if you're

16:33

connecting to a higher purpose in your life

16:35

and that is of being of service

16:37

for me as a model.

16:39

I was always thinking about my next

16:41

job and you know being my bills

16:44

going from modeling into becoming

16:47

health goes a personal trainer and doing

16:49

all the things I'm doing now has

16:51

really made me way

16:54

more fulfilled.

16:55

I wake up feeling like I am

16:58

in charge of my life. I am my own boss.

17:00

I feel like I am helping so many others

17:02

by being myself because as a model

17:05

I was unable to speak right.

17:07

They were just like Do this

17:09

do that you know you're not asked for input.

17:11

And in this position I'm asked to share my

17:13

thoughts and to share

17:16

my knowledge and my expertise

17:18

in the areas that I'm excited about

17:21

and I think it's not always easy to

17:23

know what your purpose is but sometimes

17:26

something needs to happen in order to find

17:28

it right.

17:28

Because if you didn't have

17:30

the tumor would you do what you

17:32

would do today.

17:34

Exactly. I probably wouldn't. It

17:36

really was the biggest blessing that I've

17:39

had in my life. And that's

17:41

you know that's what's really great about a bad situation

17:43

is we can turn it into a positive and

17:46

if the day yeah.

17:48

It really you know it can be a gift

17:50

in disguise right. It really can be.

17:52

So moving on to

17:54

your new book which

17:57

is so timely anxiety free

17:59

with food a lot

18:01

of people are dealing with anxiety more

18:03

than ever right now. What

18:06

have you discovered. Well doing

18:08

all the research on this book and

18:10

what stood out most to you.

18:12

Wow. Yes sir. This actually

18:14

being my favorite subject yet

18:17

with studying food and mental health.

18:19

So when I found out was that there's

18:21

a lot of support that

18:23

shows that food really does affect

18:26

our mental health. So a lot of science studies

18:29

and what I found fascinating was there

18:31

was some studies that showed that certain foods

18:33

are more effective than antidepressant

18:36

drugs and anti anxiety drugs

18:38

which is remarkable because usually

18:40

there's never a study that shows that food

18:42

is more powerful than a pharmaceutical drug.

18:45

My eyes are going like wood. Are you serious.

18:47

Yeah. That's what I thought when I read

18:49

study after study I was like Wow

18:52

OK. And so that

18:54

was interesting. And also it showed that certain

18:56

foods have less side effects than these pharmaceutical

18:58

drugs as well.

18:59

So if someone does have severe depression

19:01

or anxiety then they're working with

19:03

their doctor or psychiatrist and they want to take

19:05

medication initially just to help them

19:08

they can implement a nutrition plan right away.

19:11

And then as soon as they get their brain chemistry right

19:13

they can go off the meds or

19:16

some people don't even want to take medication at all

19:18

which is understandable.

19:19

Does it depend on how long the depression

19:21

has been in their lives.

19:23

If someone has severe mental

19:26

health issues and if they're suicidal and

19:29

then that's when you should guard you know the medical

19:31

route but if someone has early

19:33

stages of depression anxiety or even

19:35

mild we can change our brain chemistry

19:38

just within a few days with certain foods

19:40

and certain herbs and flowers. It's

19:42

remarkable. And I also found

19:44

a study that showed people who

19:46

have anxiety also have a different gut microbiome

19:50

so anxiety causes

19:52

different gut microbiome which means

19:54

gut health and then having

19:57

certain gut health like if you eat certain foods

19:59

bad foods that cause a bad gut health that

20:02

creates a brain chemistry that creates anxiety depression.

20:05

So they go hand in hand. So I found that was

20:07

interesting. So if we clean up our gut. Detox

20:09

I've got we're going to experience less

20:11

anxiety and then also less

20:14

anxiety creates a healthier gut. And so

20:16

it just gets better and better.

20:18

Everything is connected. So the gut is also

20:21

called the second brain of the body.

20:23

Right. Yes. And it really is.

20:25

And so look what foods would

20:27

be beneficial to eat. And

20:29

I know this is all going to be in your book which

20:32

is to kind of reveal a couple of things

20:34

that you know we can already start doing now

20:36

because your book is only coming out in December right.

20:38

Yes. So excited. Yes

20:40

we are.

20:41

What is magnesium story study showed

20:43

that people who are deficient in magnesium do

20:46

have more stress more anxiety

20:48

more depression so eating foods

20:50

that have magnesium like dark leafy greens

20:53

the chlorophyll again and chocolate

20:55

also has a lot of magnesium and

20:58

then also Amenas proteins

21:01

and a mega fats. So those are the main

21:03

elements to keep the brain chemistry really

21:05

healthy and nervous system really healthy

21:07

so that it doesn't have chronic

21:10

anxiety. So some stress

21:12

and some anxiety is natural and normal especially

21:14

like energy public speaking or you

21:16

know a podcast like having some notes

21:18

is quite natural. But if we have chronic

21:21

nerves and anxiousness all day that's

21:23

when it's not so amino acids

21:26

and proteins are found in animal

21:28

products you know chicken wild fish cross-eyed

21:31

beef eggs. But for vegans

21:33

they can supplement it would be vitamins

21:36

and they are mega fats is it an avocado

21:38

olive oil coconut oil chia seed and hemp

21:40

seed. So when I

21:43

was experiencing anxiety I

21:45

went to a psychiatrist and you know the

21:47

typical treatment is OK. Here's some drugs and I thought

21:49

well hang on I don't want to just take

21:51

that. So I feel like that's going to affect my

21:54

brain chemistry even more so I went

21:56

to a doctor to get a blood test and

21:58

I wanted to see if I was deficient in any

22:00

nutrients and so

22:03

sure enough I was deficient in

22:05

a mega fatty acids. So

22:08

I started to take fish oil supplements and

22:10

eat more wild fish and eat more good fats

22:12

avocado olive oil coconut oil seeds

22:14

cheese seeds and make a smoothie with all

22:16

the good fats and sure enough.

22:19

Very quickly I noticed a huge

22:21

difference in my mood less

22:23

depression less anxiety and

22:26

so I'm so convinced that the brain

22:28

chemistry can change so quickly

22:30

with some foods it's remarkable.

22:32

Yeah especially if you really experience that first

22:34

hand it's one thing to know it. It's one

22:37

thing to read about it it's one thing to teach

22:39

it.

22:39

But then when you experience it firsthand

22:41

you're like OK this is real.

22:44

So when did that happen like when did you do this.

22:47

It was right after I actually got my first

22:49

book deal when I was twenty five was when I started

22:51

to get anxiety and depression and so

22:54

that's when I started to dive into an I always wanted

22:56

to write about mental health and depression

22:58

anxiety you know addiction so it's

23:00

just been a long time coming. I guess the earth

23:02

had to come first and then the cancer free

23:05

you know the quick 10 minutes and it was just so

23:07

timely to do.

23:08

Now do the mental health there was that

23:10

sequence of building up to that

23:13

moment where you can share this and also you readers

23:15

have gone on the journey with you.

23:17

They started here and now they

23:19

can you know continue to learn because there's always

23:21

more to learn.

23:22

It's true. Yeah there's always a lot to learn and

23:25

I've been doing this now eleven years and I've learned

23:28

so much about the science of it

23:30

and you know the details of it but it

23:32

always comes back to the basic

23:34

principles of the earth diet.

23:36

It's like we all need to go back to nature

23:38

and just eat foods that comes straight from the earth

23:40

as much as possible and of solution

23:43

to all of our health problems and the environment is

23:45

if we can all grow our own food as

23:47

much as possible not our

23:49

own backyard that that's the dream that would

23:51

be ideal. And so

23:54

we get the most nutrients from that. It's the most

23:56

fulfilling and

23:58

we can conquer that and all of our impulses

24:00

or desires to eat foods that are processed

24:03

and not good for us will definitely be in

24:05

much better shape. So it does all

24:07

go back to that and that's why when people

24:09

come whether they have cancer or mental health

24:11

issues or thyroid or psoriasis

24:14

it's always like OK well the diet

24:16

plan I'm going to put you on all the nutritional plan

24:19

it's going to be natural. It's going

24:21

to be whole foods but now we

24:23

want to make it fire individual.

24:25

So we want to find out what foods work for you

24:27

because mushrooms are healing but

24:30

they can also be poison for some people.

24:32

Same as tomatoes and potatoes. You know

24:34

it's not all the same foods even though the

24:36

natural and good for every single person. So it's

24:38

finding those ones that come straight

24:40

from nature that are good for you so

24:42

that you'll just live your healthiest happiest life

24:44

forever.

24:45

Yes. Oh that's so refreshing

24:47

to hear because there's not one died for all

24:50

we all have to like check in with our bodies.

24:52

So I do believe everyone's chemistry is different.

24:55

So there's different blood types for a reason.

24:58

You know this. How many billion humans

25:00

on the planet now and there's only

25:02

three different blood types which is fascinating

25:05

and there's different categories in those blood types

25:07

but there's a and then B

25:09

and then there's r right and then you've got a

25:12

B and you've got a negative or positive that

25:14

this three four blood type. So that's

25:16

interesting. So we all have we have different

25:18

blood and that blood it is a

25:20

different chemistry. And so our body

25:23

reacts to foods in a different way.

25:25

And so I don't think dairy is good

25:27

for every single person no matter how healthy

25:29

they are. Even they could be a very healthy

25:31

person if dairy is it doesn't

25:33

match the chemistry. I think that no matter how

25:35

healthy they are or clean their gut they

25:38

may not have a reaction to it but

25:41

it may just kind of throw off or does not

25:43

feel right.

25:44

So I do think genetics has a role to play

25:46

and chemistry definitely science

25:49

changes too right.

25:51

You find a research that says the opposite

25:53

of the reasons you've read like a year ago you

25:55

really like things constantly seem

25:58

to change to move or

26:00

our knowledge expands and it's just fascinating

26:02

to me.

26:03

But I do do think that we should

26:06

not get too confused or overwhelmed by

26:08

all these researches and then really

26:10

just go back to our own lab

26:13

and that's our body right. Everything we put

26:15

in is going to have an effect on how we

26:17

feel.

26:18

That's why I always go back to the earth type because

26:21

it is overwhelming. And you know there's

26:23

new things all the time.

26:24

But one thing that doesn't change one

26:26

thing that stays constant and consistent

26:29

is we can say God or we could

26:31

say nature. It's like there's certain foods

26:33

that grow naturally. And

26:35

I've just been here. And so we

26:37

know that those foods were designed

26:39

for us to eat. And so

26:41

it's basically eating from the Garden of Eden.

26:43

OK. Which ones work for you.

26:46

Which ones are the best for you.

26:47

Eat more of that. Yeah exactly. Eat more of what works

26:50

for you. But then there's also

26:52

this you know the thoughts are

26:54

actions that really make a difference

26:56

day to day like we talked on

26:59

the phone earlier and we were both saying

27:01

that we needed to play more. So how

27:03

are you going to implement more play into

27:05

your life.

27:07

Yes that's a good one so. Well

27:10

I first mentally had to accept

27:12

and choose that of like OK so I'm going to do

27:14

now because my life for the last you

27:16

know decade has been work work work on a mission

27:19

and I'm still committed to that mission

27:21

of helping people with their health.

27:22

But I want to call in more

27:25

balance and more play more

27:27

harmony and more space to do nothing.

27:29

And I think that our world get so caught up

27:31

in that we always have to be doing something.

27:34

And so. I had to mentally unwind

27:36

that like OK now I'm just going to sit here

27:39

and I have no agenda I'm

27:41

not going to do anything.

27:42

I have to think about anything specifically

27:44

and at first it was weird. And

27:47

now you know now I know the importance

27:49

of that and having that space and having that break

27:51

and that freedom and that's also more stepping into

27:53

a feminine type energy as well

27:55

I'm not being so masculine all the time and like going

27:58

in and doing action it's kind of sitting and just

28:00

receiving and just feeling the love

28:02

and just receiving what's coming from

28:04

the entire universe and just taking

28:07

it all in totally and then really

28:09

enjoy like who you are where

28:11

you are who you're with enjoying

28:14

the present moment.

28:15

And so if you know what we're talking about

28:17

receiving what would you invite in

28:20

what would you like to receive in the next six

28:23

months so that you can look back January

28:25

2021 you like my

28:28

goodness that was an awesome year.

28:30

Wow good question.

28:32

So the first thing that came to mind and I

28:34

think what's on the forefront is I've always loved city

28:36

life but I would love to transition to

28:39

be in nature so I

28:41

would love to be living in Florida now on

28:43

the beach very close to the beach I would like

28:45

to call in that and

28:47

just have a beautiful home

28:50

and I'm usually traveling every single

28:52

week. And so I'd love

28:54

to just have to stay still for a little bit

28:56

although I am missing all the food shows of course and

28:58

the Health shows so much.

29:01

I know that so. So your thing and

29:03

then their enthusiasm is unreal

29:05

like how much excitement you have.

29:08

I mean it's really really fun to

29:10
