0:33
our guests today I've been looking
0:36
forward to the show for quite a while
0:38
this woman is is amazing her name is
0:41
chef Babette and at the age forty she
0:44
changed her diet and cleared up her
0:46
health issues now at 69 years young she
0:50
can still do a four-minute plank with
0:52
ease oh my god really I can't even do
0:55
ten seconds she owns the popular vegan
0:58
restaurant in the heart of Inglewood
1:00
California called stuff I eat and so
1:04
without further ado I bring in my good
1:07
friend as of now chef bad bad and here
1:11
she is chefs welcome to the show I am
1:14
new that you're here so Before we jump
1:18
into the show we're gonna we're gonna do
1:21
a definition I always like to do a
1:22
definition of a super boomer and what
1:24
are they so in my definition I say the
1:27
super boomer is not defined by their age
1:30
they are defined by how they show up in
1:32
life they're fearless with just a watch
1:35
me attitude so I ask you
1:39
chef Babette how do you describe a super
1:41
boomer well hi everybody
1:46
I was super boomer it's a person
1:50
continues to reinvent themselves and
1:53
live their best life no matter what age
1:55
you are I love that definition and you
1:58
truly are a walking illustration of that
2:01
so in just tuning in right now we are
2:05
talking about ways to love your life
2:07
right now
2:09
we have chef that that on and we're
2:12
going to go ahead and jump into the
2:13
topic right now so how can we love our
2:16
life right now well right here right now
2:21
is where we are and this is what we've
2:23
got and we've only got moments
2:26
guaranteed to us so it's in my opinion
2:31
that rather than blow my moments being
2:34
depressed uptight about what's gonna
2:37
happen a year from now right or six
2:40
months from now or as president Trump
2:42
says by Easter I'm just gonna take it
2:48
second by second cuz that's what I have
2:51
warranty to me and I don't want those
2:53
those moments squandered so I you know a
2:57
girl you stay in the moment and you and
3:02
release the pettiness and stop worrying
3:05
about what happened two weeks ago and
3:07
what may happen two weeks from now and
3:11
stay right here right now and take
3:13
control over your thoughts yes I want to
3:18
be you I don't want you I know I have a
3:21
tremendous amount of energy and it's not
3:22
even that you're just infectious the way
3:25
you you should you show up and I know
3:27
that our viewers whether they're here
3:29
live or on replay or at some other time
3:32
down the line they're gonna be saying
3:34
the same thing the first thing you're
3:36
gonna say is how the heck do you do a
3:37
four-minute plank
3:39
I pointed with one minute and every
3:43
single that's how I started doing situps
3:46
oh no no push-ups pushup I started with
3:49
five and every day
3:51
I would add a push-up and so of course
3:54
you know I've been up to 60 before I at
3:57
one point I thought I'd do enough
3:59
push-ups to to say
4:03
at what age I am but they had to be
4:05
quite a bit of push-ups I tell you I
4:14
chair you might challenge me and and
4:17
it's so far off because I promise you I
4:20
will be 70 December 7
4:22
2020 and and I decided before they shut
4:27
my gym down I said you know what I'm
4:29
gonna do I am going to get myself in the
4:32
best shape ever and by December 2020 I
4:36
am going to look better physically then
4:39
I looked all of 2019 and and I'm going
4:44
to compete I think I'm going to compete
4:47
I think that's what I'm going for
4:50
I know watching can I invite you to come
4:53
back
4:54
I would love to correct a so that you
4:57
catch us up at where you're at and if
4:59
you were in fact competing we can let
5:01
you know so that they can actually go
5:03
yes and watch you right that's what I'm
5:06
talking about when I talk about
5:08
reinventing yourself and and and you
5:11
know don't don't hold back on yourself
5:14
age is just a number it's an attitude it
5:17
doesn't you know I don't know about you
5:19
I mean you just told us you're gonna be
5:20
70 I tell people halfway through the
5:22
year I'm already the next age group
5:25
because you're so excited about getting
5:26
there right oh my gosh what's the
5:28
alternative
5:29
yes alternative so we're gonna do this
5:32
why are you doing this why do you arrest
5:35
Iran why are you a fitness enthusiast
5:37
why are you out there telling your story
5:41
you know Wow like my life has been so I
5:47
would like to say rich even after all of
5:51
the things that I've been through I've
5:53
been abused I've been molested I've been
5:56
on drugs I I've lived a complete full
6:00
life and so now I'm at that point in my
6:05
life where I have an opportunity to heal
6:08
to share and to so I'm on top of the
6:14
world right now
6:16
I mean what's better than serving up
6:19
plant-based food you don't have to kill
6:22
anything to to serve it you just make
6:25
good tasting food and you make people
6:27
happy when they're eating it I just you
6:30
might turn me you might turn man
6:33
Hey so you have a cookbook out and you
6:38
have a restaurant for let's first talk
6:39
about the restaurant and I love the name
6:41
of it it's called stuff ie
6:43
what happened isn't it cute it is where
6:46
did it come from why did you call it
6:47
stuff I eat because it's the stuff I eat
6:50
and believe it or not I was doing some
6:52
catering I was in a play and I catered
6:55
for the group of people in the play and
6:57
I thought I'm gonna start a catering
6:59
company and and they were like yeah you
7:02
should come with the name and like I'm
7:05
just serving this stuff I mean somebody
7:07
said that she beat the name and so it
7:10
you just just hung around and I've got a
7:12
little jingle let me sing the Lu jingle
7:14
horn this stuff I eat stuff I eat if you
7:20
don't want me try the stuff I eat 114
7:24
North Market Street in Inglewood
7:27
California oh my god I love that I love
7:31
it and you're open you're doing you're
7:33
doing takeout right now we're doing
7:36
takeout only now business is not what it
7:38
was but we're staying open we're staying
7:41
open for our employees we're staying
7:43
open just for the community just a habit
7:46
there because there are not a lot of
7:48
vegan restaurants in our area yeah yeah
7:51
so um you know we'll get through it
7:54
we're just favoring it out day at a time
7:56
I go in super early sanitize everything
7:59
once I get in there prep the food and
8:02
then I jet out of there I quit right
8:04
right is the stat the rest of the staff
8:06
is coming in and you mentioned that you
8:09
were doing deliveries in yes so we just
8:11
filled out the applications and my
8:14
husband spoke with some of the companies
8:16
and yeah we're gonna start the delivery
8:18
so you know I'm gonna say this because I
8:21
don't you know I I don't like it
8:23
actually when people say to me you don't
8:25
look 69 let's just let's just go there
8:28
for a second you look phenomenal
8:30
thank you I don't think it just happens
8:33
by accident I mean you know you're
8:37
working at it and I just and I just
8:39
would like to say back at you you look
8:41
phenomenal too and I I just you know I
8:44
feel like I don't look like I looked
8:47
when I was 20 I don't look like I looked
8:50
when I was 40 I don't look exactly like
8:54
I looked when I was 50 but I'm enjoying
8:57
the process it's not about it's not so
9:01
much about the aesthetic and ethics it's
9:05
about how I feel it's about my quality
9:08
of life now if I happen to look great
9:11
to the average eye that's wonderful I
9:14
don't even have a primary care physician
9:17
I feel amazing and I am into life's
9:23
quality not so much longevity because
9:27
I've done if I don't want to live ever
9:29
and be flat on my back and can't move I
9:32
enjoy a good quality of life
9:36
and and that's what's important to me so
9:38
when you say you know look or you look
9:41
good to be and it's like yeah it's
9:44
absolutely not to be 69 you just look
9:47
fabulous then you go it doesn't it
9:51
doesn't have to be 69 I'm just I'm happy
9:54
where I am and that's I think that's
9:57
what comes across more than anything
9:59
I am just grateful and happy where I am
10:02
I know more now I've been through so
10:06
much in this journey I know more now
10:09
then I don't know it's just it's Harriet
10:13
love it don't you like and I but in case
10:22
you're wondering we did not call each
10:24
other to say what are you wearing today
10:26
for the same exact color so a lot of the
10:29
lines that you were just saying if you
10:31
could go back to 20 would you no no I
10:38
would not I would not go back to 40 no
10:42
no things that I know now and ever all
10:46
so much that I've learned even when it
10:48
comes to meeting people that I've been
10:49
married four times this is my fourth
10:52
husband already reason I was married the
10:55
three other times is to be because I
10:58
didn't know to take my time
11:01
and to pay attention to the signs
11:03
because people tell you who they are and
11:06
they tell you who they they are very
11:08
quickly alia they believe them it's true
11:13
yeah it's so true so no not too many so
11:20
physically now then I was when I was 20
11:24
you know and whenever I asked that
11:25
question I always think in my head what
11:27
I wouldn't go back either unless I had
11:30
all the knowledge that I have right and
11:32
everything that I have going on right
11:34
now I might but I don't think I'd
11:36
actually go to but who wants to go back
11:40
go forward and I yes so I mentioned that
11:44
you have a book and I'm gonna go ahead
11:45
and put the book in rain it's the right
11:50
way I want to do this book is called
11:54
cash in on cashews oh my gosh I love
11:57
that I'm gonna be ready to put the link
11:59
in the comments for those of you who are
12:01
thinking you know I need to go get that
12:03
I need actually money they can just give
12:05
it on Amazon well that's a link I put in
12:07
great yeah that's that cameras on link
12:10
go ahead and click on it you can or you
12:12
know Google the in Amazon the words cash
12:15
in on cashews I'll I personally love
12:18
cashews I always have a big bunch of
12:20
them
12:20
why are cashews so great for us okay so
12:23
so check this out
12:24
well cashews is a great nut it's a it's
12:27
a it's a good nut now now I have two
12:29
completely forgotten exactly what the
12:32
cashew nut besides protein but there's
12:35
something else really really great about
12:37
the international but let me just tell
12:39
you why I decided to do this book I
12:42
learned about soaking cashews especially
12:46
when I started making a lot of raw or
12:49
live recipes use the cashew nut a lot
12:53
for sauces and that sort of thing and
12:56
brynn I just realized how unbelievably
13:00
versatile the cashew nut is I mean I
13:03
would soak it and whatever flavor
13:06
I needed that nut to take on it would so
13:09
I started making desserts with it and oh
13:12
my goodness and I
13:14
have a massive sweet tooth my mother fed
13:18
us so much sugar she put sugar and
13:20
everything when she cooked it and I was
13:22
just completely and totally addicted so
13:24
we decided we chose agave nectar in the
13:27
restaurant it's worked for us and we're
13:29
in an area where there's a lot of
13:31
diabetes and that sort of thing you turn
13:33
up to spike your blood sugar and all
13:35
that kind of stuff so you know the
13:37
cashew B the agave nectar worked for us
13:40
I started making these icebox desserts
13:43
and they went from parfaits to pies -
13:47
Wow techniques - I can make almost
13:51
anything cashew nut yeah
13:55
thirds are phenomenal so I wanted to
13:58
share because look big chef Babette is
14:02
the title but I'm self trained mm-hmm we
14:06
just did it in the kitchen and we had a
14:08
menu that we thought people would love
14:10
especially if they were trying to
14:12
transition and so I decided I was going
14:17
to make these icebox desserts and I was
14:19
going to share with everybody because it
14:20
was so easy to do and that's how caching
14:23
okay cashews came about if somebody goes
14:26
to your restaurant can can they get
14:28
these desserts yeah and now I what I
14:31
normally do is I still use the cashew
14:33
nut a lot I have to have them but say
14:36
for instance I'm gonna make a regular
14:38
baked cake I will take the cashew nut
14:42
and make whatever icing I need for the
14:45
cake whatever nut butter yam it could
14:50
just be something I'm hungry you're
14:53
making so again the book is called cash
15:01
in on cashews by Chef Babette
15:04
go check it out there's a link there or
15:06
go onto Amazon alone and go check that
15:09
out do the tip chair with boomers
15:13
available a tip that you want to share
15:16
with our boomers about moving and and
15:20
you know I think that's the one thing
15:23
that always frightens me I watched my
15:26
mom now
15:28
my mom um the classic standard American
15:32
diet for the most part and did worked a
15:37
lot but after a while she stopped moving
15:39
huh and I noticed that it just got rough
15:43
for her she wound up with having to get
15:45
both of her knees replaced whenever we
15:48
went to the supermarket she was she
15:50
always had to have the shopping cart
15:51
because that was her Walker yeah she
15:54
just didn't it just didn't work out well
15:57
for her movie and then I would watch the
16:02
TV ads for Life Alert you fall in the
16:05
shower you fall at the park
16:07
there's nobody and so I had a
16:13
conversation with myself that um
16:16
whatever you do unless there's some type
16:20
of injury now I'm not I'm not making fun
16:22
of anybody or speaking to those people
16:24
that have had injuries and and this is a
16:26
results I'm just talking about us when
16:29
we stop mm-hmm sit all day at work then
16:32
we drive home and then we get home and
16:35
we throw something in the microwave oven
16:37
and we sit down in front of the TV and
16:40
we just never move right and I just
16:43
decided no if I get down I want to be
16:47
able to get back up without a life alert
16:50
and so for me I always advocate movement
16:56
you don't have to get out say for
16:58
instance you're 45 years old fifty years
17:00
on you just haven't been doing very much
17:02
of anything don't get out there and
17:04
start trying to run on pavement this is
17:07
what you're saying this all the time
17:12
it's totally unnecessary a walk get some
17:17
fresh air I don't I don't run on cement
17:20
anymore if I'm gonna do any running it's
17:23
gonna be at a walkers pace in a running
17:26
mode and I've had her to run some heels
17:30
so that I have to dig deep and breathe
17:32
that's important to we shallow breathe
17:35
most of the time so we make one
17:37
breathing well so I'm like running dirt
17:40
dirt heels
17:42
and like I said I stay you know at a
17:43
walkers face a running mode and I see
17:46
people right now on cement I will not
17:49
run on submit I will not run on cement
17:52
it's just it just wrecks my knees money
17:56
no I don't want to feel bad after
17:57
workout I want to feel good so in this
18:00
today what's going on with everything
18:02
that's going on I would actually
18:04
encourage people we're all obviously in
18:06
our homes and but you can still go out
18:08
onto a hiking trail and in a park as
18:10
long as you keep your distance and walk
18:12
even it's so important that the tree and
18:17
breathe for sure sunshine we don't give
18:20
enough sunshine you know we're so cooped
18:23
up all the time but but even through
18:26
this whole thing I get up at like I'm up
18:29
like around 2 to 22 and 2:30 and at 3
18:34
o'clock I know it's my hour to work out
18:37
yeah and so I do my workout for an hour
18:41
right here in the house now I may step
18:43

18:47
get it in and I got it in so hard
18:49
