0:06
point this is the show where we follow fashionistas from all around the world who are following their passion making a
0:12
living doing what they love and today we have the most stunning beautiful amazing
0:18
guest on her name is Sarah flowers she is a Loomis digestive health specialist
0:23
we're going to talk about that I have no idea what I just said but that's what you are a certified practitioner of natural health registered yoga teacher
0:31
certified intention and trauma relief exercises you know I'm going to bring
0:36
you right into the show because instead of going through all this stuff that I can't even pronounce quite frankly Sarah
0:42
welcome to the show how are you today I'm fabulous thanks for having me how are you Karen I am doing so great I am
0:49
just so happy that you're here with us today so I just before we even go into passion what is a Loomis digestive
0:55
health specialist okay so I am a firm
1:00
believer that the majority if not done they're all health problems start in the
1:05
gut and your ability to digest and assimilate food so that is the digestive health portion dr. Loomis is considered
1:13
one of the if not be leading expert on enzymes so that means I use a lot of
1:19
enzymes to help heal the digestive trouble okay I feel much better now so
1:26
you know one of the reasons that I wanted to bring you on is i've been i've been at stalking you for quite a while
1:31
and and following you and just the way you show up in the natural health world is really an inspiration to me so we're
1:39
going to start our show with the definition of passion because it is all about passion and i'm going to use the Webster's dictionary definition it's an
1:46
intense driving or overmastering feeling or conviction that's what Webster says passionate Sarah what's passion to you
1:53
that's easy passion is that fire with end it Vern burns whether you want to or
1:59
not burn baby burn I a me and you have that passion and I know you have that
2:05
passion your story is fascinating you can go back as far as you want but tell us a little bit about your journey and
2:11
how did you end up doing what you're doing today oh that's a good one because that's exactly how I ended
2:17
up doing what I'm doing with following my own personal path part of that passion part of that trying to get out
2:24
of the fire of health issues that I was having so I guess in a nutshell the
2:29
collection of symptoms the labels that I was given by the medical community were hypoglycemia which is low blood sugar
2:36
that makes you foggy and your head fuzzy and that's no fun and hard to participate fully in life I also was
2:43
given the label of anemia which means a low iron in your blood or your you know
2:48
ability to retain it and that for me felt like my arms would fall off so that's low energy so you can see how
2:54
that your body feeling deteriorating and your mind feelings curating was was not setting me up for the win and then on
3:01
top of that i also had endured a significant amount of trauma in my life
3:06
which i believe science is showing a pretty pretty extensively now affects
3:13
your nervous system and sort of the wiring of it if you will i mean they're even proving that genetics you know that
3:19
our family and trauma dated George so you know just highlights of my trauma to
3:25
keep this from being really depressed and call which would be that i was in an
3:30
abusive relationship the abuse speaking so significant that when i was seven months pregnant it resulted in the loss
3:35
of my child so my health exactly about one of the worst things pretty much that
3:41
you can endure so my health was out of whack when hormones were out of whack my
3:46
my psyche my emotional mental everything was that pretty much what i would consider rock bottom so i was fortunate
3:54
enough that i had a doctor that he was aware that i had side effects to a lot
3:59
of medication so that wasn't an option i was forced to find a more natural path which is phenomenal because that path
4:07
doesn't tend to have all the side effects and you're not sort of robbing Peter to pay Paul so to speak so that
4:12
started you know many many years ago took many many years I mean my son is now 17 he was two when I started up and
4:20
that was just simply like removing the white sugar the white bread the white flower things like that from the house
4:28
forward to today you know i administered your analysis to this kid to see you know how is vitamin c levels are things
4:34
like that pretty exciting stuff but yeah i had done I'd come so far and i was still having the other collection of
4:41
symptoms label they like to give me which is kind of understandable with my past is PTSD post-traumatic stress
4:46
disorder from the loss I've gone and had the EKG all of that it wasn't my heart so that path took me to becoming a yoga
4:55
teacher I was doing yoga all day every day and I was still having these reactions that were not congruent with
5:01
what I wanted them to be nervous system type reaction and that's where the final
5:06
little tool for me fell into place which was the tension and trauma release exercises some of the most amazing
5:12
things you can witness the human body doing so I get to volunteer doing that
5:17
at homeless shelters and with veterans of PTSD it's very helpful for them because a lot of those people don't want
5:23
to sit in a room with the therapist who's never experienced war or being homeless or you know that kind of thing
5:29
so they respond really well and that was kind of beat that last little crucial
5:34
link for me because their digestive health we can get it working as optimally as possible but if you are
5:40
stressed if you're in fight-or-flight digestion automatically shuts down it's a proven fact that the blood goes to the
5:46
extremities for fight or flight so that was the key missing piece and I'll just tell you one of my favorite quotes that
5:52
one of my instructors said was if you can heal the debt and clean the but you can help anybody hurry it's referring of
6:00
course the colon consciously but it's absolutely true if you've got the fuel coming in and being optimal and the
6:06
waste products leaving the body everything else in the body can begin to fall into place that are leaking it now
6:13
to all climbers they're linking gut health of Parkinson's and it I guess what I would stress to everybody who's
6:19
new to that health is it it's not what you think it's not just constipation or irritable bowel syndrome those are the
6:25
more obvious cut sign but let's say your gallbladder is overworked and it's producing sluggish file from years of
6:32
eating processed food for example the medical community is not going to target that until you go in and it's been a lot
6:39
of pain and they're going to say remove it well organiz stressed years before it's
6:44
clogged up with file and that organ you don't feel oh my gall bladder hurts but
6:49
those nerve bundles you know travel so it could present itself as shoulder pain back pain allergies 100 sleep issues how
6:58
many times people come in and they think all my team is just having sleep issues know your team has parasites and they're more active at night so everything it
7:06
always comes back full circle to gut health so that is why I'm so passionate you know it's so interesting what you're
7:12
saying I mean we're talking about digestive health you know I have had some digestive health issues as you know
7:18
and one of the things that I found fascinating was I had some dental issues
7:25
that was affecting my gut which who knows I mean really and what you're
7:31
saying is is that everything emanates from the digestive tract so let's talk a
7:36
little bit about that so why so you're saying it's the most important thing I
7:41
believe so because and I did what everybody does when you want to get in shape you go to a trainer or you go to a
7:48
nutritionist but here's the problem with that when you can obviously those are great things to do but if you're going
7:53
to a trainer and you're working out more you're now increasing your activity level and therefore increasing your appetite well if you're not going and
8:01
eating the optimal fuel you're just eating more jugs right and that was my I mean I literally right outside with the
8:06
fast food place and I come outside of the gym starving so then I tried to do the right thing and I went to a nutritionist well that's all fine and
8:12
dandy and websphere for example you're having the problems digesting protein is an example so I give your analysis it's
8:20
a very comprehensive to my clients that lets me know what they're not digesting so if a trainer tells you to up your
8:26
protein level but your digestion is compromised and not right it's a vicious cycle and your body suffering and
8:31
malnutrition same thing okay so you're not there Dustin cards then you go and get all this great raw organic food and
8:38
you're eating all this out salads and celery and broccoli and all these card type things then you're still having the
8:44
issues and that can be very frustrating for people so this is whole body care is what you're talking about is whole body
8:49
care you can't do one without the other and but you have to start at what I'm hearing you
8:54
with digestive health and making sure that that first I absolutely recommend
9:00
that if you are wanting to work smarter not harder because every single organ in
9:07
your body is fed from your digestive tract I have an upcoming event speaking out about the mind of mind gut
9:14
connection and that was based off a post that I did that said I'm surprised that more people are not acknowledging the
9:20
fact that mental issues and feelings and things of that nature are not linked to the gut of course they are because your
9:26
brain is not walking around outside your body getting its nutrients somewhere else it's getting them from this
9:31
approximately 30 feet of digestive tract that is nourishing your system so it's
9:38
everything right that this is fascinating I mean because I don't think
9:43
buddy would just jump to that conclusion in the first place I mean I'm going to
9:49
make an assumption right now you're you are not about fad diet oh no absolutely
9:54
not no absolutely not and you're right you like I said is it's not the natural
10:00
conclusion you think oh I don't have any stomach issues i don't have heartburn I'm fine but it's all so very linked
10:05
like I said it's showing up in a different in a different way I mean perfect example my son when he hit 15
10:11
was sleeping excessively everybody including my younger brother and sister oh he's just a teen no he was literally
10:17
off the charts deficient in vitamin C so then you start looking at okay what's the absorption problem and that comes
10:23
back to the digestion problem it's one thing you know teen women especially team females for example are often given
10:30
the label of anemia and in telling soul to take iron but why is the body not
10:35
holding the iron in the first place sometimes of course is sufficient they're eating you know I fast food and that kind of thing but um it we call it
10:43
a cascade of symptoms and basically when somebody comes to me they're generally going to be complaining about something
10:49
like oh my hormones are out of whack but when we fix the digestion that's what we call it a cascade of something symptoms
10:55
everything past the digestion starts to heal itself because your body's now nourish your thyroid is nourished your
11:01
adrenals are nourished you know all of your body parts yet so it is a beautiful cascade of customs so let's talk a
11:07
little bit about a dream we're hearing a lot about adrenal shutdown women in particular what's your take on that okay so adrenal fatigue is
11:15
real again once you nourish the body the body parts then they're going to perform
11:20
more awfully so I don't get real into the test you know people like to have these labels of something's over
11:26
function or under functioning but a a healthy thyroid that is nourished for example or adrenal glands will do their
11:32
thing now my other opinion on adrenal glands is that we're evolving much faster than our adrenal glands are in
11:39
terms of you know we're literally moving faster in buses and planes and trains we've got all this information stimulus
11:45
coming at us you can literally roll over in bed and grab your cell phone and have as much horrible information at your
11:52
fingertips that you want to set your adrenal gland so as long as they're nourished I think like that it always
11:57
comes back to nourishing them women are more susceptible men tend to have generally larger adrenal glands that
12:04
makes sense from evolutionary speaking they were more of the hunters we were you know more of the gatherers and
12:10
communicating that kind of thing but once again I personally would still
12:15
start with digestion that's another perfect example of how people try to do the right thing exercising can
12:22
exacerbate your adrenals um your body you know the fighter flight was designed
12:28
to kick in that adrenaline to run away from a bear or a saber-toothed tiger to save ourselves your body doesn't
12:35
necessarily know that's what's going on when you're on the treadmill exhausting it so I personally fell into that that's
12:41
why I like the yoga but but even yoga just dividing your exercise into that piece of that concept of en versus Yang
12:49
and yang is your very aggressive and I was very aggressive i had this PTSD
12:54
symptoms so i think of course i was in kickboxing and i was in Krav Maga and all these varying activities it was
13:01
until I stopped that and got into much more yin yoga ian activities meditation
13:06
that kind of thing that the adrenals naturally like that you're removing that fight-or-flight automatic accompaniment
13:13
and nourishing them and then they start to play much more nicely with the rest of the system wow wow oh wow I mean this
13:20
is so how does somebody work with you they do you meet them in person do you first do all these tests and then you
13:26
decide what to do next or to do this over the phone how do you give it okay so the very first step is people go to
13:34
my website at help from harmony and they watch this about a 30 minutes video there it just is educational in terms of
13:41
like this is kind of you know gut health 101 and make sure that somebody that's
13:47
what they're looking for then they reach out to me we have a conversation about it but the way the work looks is that
13:54
the first thing i do is i administer a very specific and a very comprehensive your analysis somebody does that all in
14:01
the comfort of their own home i'm not into blood draws I do have my own blood warrants work done periodically but the
14:07
thinking there is by the time something shows up in your blood work if usually a pathology it's an issue you're in the
14:12
doctor and that's a problem so if we can catch that upstream so to speak whether your analysis and tell what the body's
14:19
not digesting then I'm able to give its clubs licensed health-care professional
14:25
products that means you can't go grab them on a shelf even at your best you know hope this kind of store you can't
14:31
get them from your friend and the MLM that sets through a two hour she'll and things they know everything about your help this is much more much more
14:39
specific so then the test tells me what's going on in terms of digestion as well as colon toxicity the other the
14:46
other end and that's why the fad diets scare me if somebody tells you to do for example a cleanse but they don't know
14:52
what's going on with your four exes your your respiration urination defecation then you're you're potentially spending
15:01
a lot of toxins you know tempting to vacate a system that's not prepared for that so then we start it's definitely a
15:08
supplement base and I always tell people they don't want to tell pigtails well unless you want to go eat rose hips and
15:16
dandelions and all of these things that are really so that you know very high in minerals then you can skip supplements
15:22
if you're going to eat all that just like I mean one of my skills alone I call it a a meal in a pill it's not
15:27
every broccoli asparagus carrots celery it all in this wonderful which are just
15:33
sides really cool story i'll say about that put in perspective how even though
15:39
this seems complicated in a way is easy and there in digestion is complicated there's some great some there's some
15:44
great documentaries out about how far give you an example you know in 2013 there was a documentary called the gut
15:51
our second brain and they were talking about that the ratio of bacteria in our
15:57
body to human cells was about 10 to 1 meaning their way right well now they
16:03
come out in 20 steps to 2016 and they said oh that was a huge huge mistake
16:09
it's actually only closer to one to one meaning that were 39 they're saying 39
16:15
trillion bacterial vs 30 trillion human cells meaning we are more bacteria than
16:22
ourselves exactly so that's why for example I take antibiotics quite seriously my son 17 and never had an
16:29
antibiotic but he has had oil of oregano that was emulsified and that had parasites vacating his body in 48 hours
16:35
not because we poisoned them but we created a healthy environment where they could no longer live and i think that
16:41
was also attributed remember i told about the vitamin C deficiency wherewithal very very very very
16:46
connected I would say and comes back to nourishing your body so if we would administer the test we would to all
16:54
virtual all virtual all from the comfort of their home they they have the package ready to send it back out the results
17:00
come back and then we work on exactly what I said things to help the food digest things to help clear out the exit
17:05
and quite often that involves the trauma relief that there's tension and trauma relief exercises as well and fabulous
17:13
things happen I've got some great examples in that video on the health for harmony website but you know people who
17:19
have had eczema for 20 years on their elbow starts to click to clear up that kind of thing which also is worth
17:25
mentioning I do a lot of skin work because the skin is your largest organ
17:30
is porous meaning if either taking in healthy stuff that you're putting on or
17:35
is taking in toxins and that ends up in the system so I end up doing some skin
17:41
work as well in terms of just recommending that people exfoliate that clean that exit right on yeah you know
17:46
if I listen to you talk and I you know I I just 16 and I and you know when I listen to
17:52
you talk about the importance of what we put in the importance of how it comes
17:59
out and all this stuff and can't if it is it ever too late to to shift it so if
18:08
you've been doing this for all your life or 60 years you know or putting the
18:13
wrong stuff in not taking care of your digestive tract and you there's is it too late at 60 I already know the answer
18:19
but if yeah I'm going to say it is never too late i'm also going to say i think
18:25
people's belief systems have a lot to do with that so if somebody is you know
18:30
hell-bent on the fact that this too late there's nothing you can do for me i want to give you what i consider one of my
18:36
favorite examples is someone came to me she was about 32 at the time i'll say
18:43
early 30 and she had not had a period in well over three or more years because at
18:49
the age of 15 her thyroid was radiated meaning she took a radioactive pill and
18:54
sat in a room by herself radioactive for three days under doctor supervision in a hospital at the age of 15 which is
19:01
obviously something you know I would not recommend but so here we were and I said first of all they did not remove your
19:07
fibroids even if they had removed your thyroid I don't believe they got a hundred percent of the cell so we're
19:13
still going to take thyroid nourishing herbs and supplements and enzymes however your thyroid still there is
19:20
radiated but the very first thing I asked her I said do you believe that we
19:26
can work with that and she said yes so I find her up you already know the story within a couple months you've had a
19:31
period she's now 35 I've stayed in touch with her over three or she still had consecutive periods and that was from a
19:37
radiated cyrus oh yeah compromise digestion for me I mean I was a perfect example I grew up thinking fast or or
19:45
you know a home-cooked meal to me was like canned food or hamburger helper around the box so at the age of about 25
19:52
when I went into a nutritionist and she asked me what you eat my list of was was
19:57
like well I get crispy beef tacos at Taco Bell I get pepperoni pizza pizza I mean fpl chicken
20:03
it and she said wait a minute do you mean that all you eat is fast food sounds like yeah you know what else
20:08
isn't so that was 25 years of that and the things I see the body do in days
20:14
like I said I mean I know that's not the most pleasant topic but visible worm
20:20
vacating my 15 year old son's body in 48 hours tell me you didn't feel way better
20:25
when I work when those were out so yeah the way the body wants to live it wants
20:32
to survive it wants to maintain homeostasis and balance and we're assaulting it with these toxins all day
20:39
every day we eat them or we slather them on we put them on our face you sprint you know and the body is trying to do it
20:45
think so yeah as soon as you give it nourishing and in our vitamins and minerals yes thank you yes it does oh
20:52
wow ok you know I'm sure that our listeners our viewers are listening to you and say oh my gosh this woman not
20:59
only has it going on she knows what she's talking about and I and you know one of the things before we we still got
21:05
lots of things to talk about but I don't I would be remiss if I didn't say for those of you are who are watching this
21:12
show right now look down below there's a link down there that you can actually go connect directly with Sarah and you have
21:19
a report that you're going to give away right I do so yeah the connecting is at health for harmony calm but I also i
21:26
created an e-book thats Sarah nourish you now calm naruto calm and it's 33
21:33
natural health practices practices that someone can start today the reason I created that book is I was repeating the
21:39
same thing over and over to clients like I said you think we start with just digestive health but then you know the
21:46
next thing I know I'm talking missing them about skin care because I want that one of the four exit path to be open
21:51
another thing my your analysis results also reveal is heavy metal toxicity
21:58
which can do all kinds of things with the nervous system digestion and a perfect example a client that I know is
22:05
the most addicted person to lipstick she will self admit that she does not like
22:10
herself without lipstick she wears lipstick she's also to date the highest cadmium levels I've seen because that's
22:15
in lipstick wow so you know yes I put her on a protocol of events on some supplements
22:21
but I also i went with her I happened it sometimes I do in person or I went with her to a store that was all organic
22:28
makeup and and got her some and that's my valentine and oh yeah there's definitely thrive comes to mind
22:34
immediately oh yeah definitely and I use some of the products because of that because again and I think it's the age
22:40
thing is we get a little bit older we start paying attention a little bit more I think in terms of what we read and
22:47
what we're putting into our body what putting on our body you know and what we're absorbing through the food that we
22:53
eat that they're getting annum you know things that are not good and then it comes right into our body so I mean it's
22:59
clear you're passionate about what you do and that's what thats that's why you're here and that's why I have you on
23:04
what would you tell somebody that comes to you and says another deal with digestive health and says Sarah you're
23:10
passionate about what you do I don't even know what I'm passionate about how do I figure out how to follow my passion
23:17
so I can be just like you excited about my world what advice would you give somebody to figure out what their
23:24
passion is and how to go follow it oh that's interesting I wasn't expecting that question at it it's very
23:29
interesting because I'm big on outsourcing leveraging reaching out to
23:38
somebody who's already done the work so I personally hired somebody and let through a whole process to get clear on
23:45
the articulation of my passion because I'm sure I'm not the only one that we're
23:51
passionate about several things lots of things and sometimes those are kind of wacky like ones over here that's belly
23:58
dancing and ones over here this health and then I do business consulting so for
24:04
me i boiled that down to my purpose like if i were to be in my hospital bed
24:11
tomorrow what would I be have my purpose is to empower nourishing consumption
24:17
love that so and and that really when I think when it resonates or it fits
24:23
really well because I realized that is me all day every day I'm i can remember telling my mother when I was less than
24:30
20 don't watch the news that's not empowering nourishing consumption or particular be it wasn't for her when
24:37
it's getting you riled up and I talked about that I talked about that those stressors as well that's why I'm so into
24:43
the bio individuality with your analysis because what stress is one person out doesn't strike some people are calm
24:49
driving and driving is horrible to me in my nervous system exit some people can sit and watch the news and it doesn't
24:55
yet you know you can have a couple sitting there fighting every day at breakfast and it's affecting ones
25:00
nervous system and therefore that are Justin and not the other but I guess you know I would I couldn't imagine I felt
25:08
lost not knowing I hated that and you know and I know there's a lot of opinions on well you your passion is
25:15
this for your passion is better it changes but said that really mean to know that I'm I want to empower
25:21
nourishing consumption for people yeah and a nice thing for me why I'm sure
25:27
with most people it starts to come a little from your story and what what you've gone through you know and I feel like I did all that suffering and paid
25:34
all those prices that I don't want anybody else to have to pay I like I tell you love that I think that's what
25:40
if it's wonderful you know I love quotes I love does the motivation that I get
25:45
behind quotes sometimes they're funny sometimes they're they're meaningful today's quote that I'd like to share with you is this and it's anonymous
25:51
there's no I have no author on this three simple rules in life one if you do
25:58
not go after what you want you'll never have it too if you do not ask and the
26:04
answer will always be no and three if you do not step forward you will always be in the same place roll 45 I love
26:13
those are fabulous a great role yeah I know who said this but it's so true and it's so simple do you have a quote or
26:19
posted that that you'd like to share with art with our community okay I do love clothes that I do I am one of those
26:27
inspirational mean kind of people and I have little ones I like like the don't
26:33
count calories count toxins that kind of thing you know count chemicals it is right but the one that I you know if
26:40
anybody would ask me they want to always fire off and show me on so many levels it shift
26:47
happens I love it I love it how's my favorite clothes it is and keeping in
26:53
mind what you do one might say that it actually does happen when you get their
27:00
body working in exactly work I just happen yes happen okay I have another
27:06
question for you okay if you could spread passion just on anybody anywhere around the world would you spread it on
27:13
and what would you hope to accomplish okay so that's interesting because I'm just going to go with what came to me oh
27:20
that's enough oh my god a lot my gut instinct bed my second brain said and I'm sure it's because of my work there
27:27
but I mentioned that I had a hot yoga for example to Santa Monica women's
27:33
homeless shelter which is phenomenal to see somebody in that situation and that they could still achieve what we call
27:38
yoga bliss anybody who's ever been through yoga class know with what yoga bliss is it's like this high after good
27:44
yoga which is from oxygenating the body but to see that result be the same right
27:50
so there's that population that comes to mind obviously the work with veterans I've had lost several males including my
27:57
stepdad to suicide so I'm very passionate about that but the one I would settle on excuse me the one I
28:06
would have to settle on is that I most recently volunteered to start teaching at a shelter for girls aged 11 to 17
28:15
who've been victims of sex trafficking and so to spread hope today man i'm
28:23
dropping up i had a book i did in a comp you know a new day dawns breaking up with abuse that did my chapter in there
28:29
about how i got out of abusive situations but that's where i would sprinkle hope because in my opinion just
28:36
again obviously from my journey i'm so freaking strong from everything i've been through those girls are so frickin
28:43
strong that it's given passion and given purpose you know watch out world kind of
28:49
thing cuz look at what they've been bored i can't even imagine having endured that I mean some of these girls you know have been literally violated
28:56
and taking a management from the age of five and so that their take on the world so if I could sprinkle dust on anybody it would be them because
29:03
I believe they would make some serious change happen in the world Sarah you inspire me you inspire me to want to be
29:10
healthier you inspire me to want to live a clean for life in terms of the stuff
29:17
that I put in my body I want to thank you are there any last thoughts that you want to share with our audience and
29:23
again tell them where to go and get Neil you're 33 say absolutely well yes so to
29:29
get the book I'd love to get that in your hand it's like the 33 natural health practices that you can do today I
29:35
specifically went in there for people that thought I don't have time i can't afford this I can't do this I wanted to
29:40
give some simple things that could have profound results and it for working more
29:46
with me or even just to learn more I got like so that great 30 minute video at health for harmony calm and it gives you
29:52
some top 3 tips and tricks that you can start on your own for digestive health that kind of thing but the advice that I
29:59
would give and this like I said just really resonated with me immediately is that is the micro goal to take baby
30:07
steps to not get discouraged because it is not overnight I don't know how long you know in my case it was almost 40
30:14
years of assaulting my body and if the realization first if that's what's
30:20
what's happening that hey you know I mean this is my largest organ and
30:25
because I want to look good i'm spreading toxic makeup on it that's and then when I don't feel that I'm mad at
30:30
my body that doesn't jive that doesn't matter ice incongruent and so of course your systems confused of course you're
30:36
feeling this lack of clarity and then like city put on gut health on top of that and all these bacteria and there
30:43
you know 39 trillion of them more so than himself fighting to survive by just
30:49
helping those out and like said that can be very very small steps and I would
30:55
just say to prepare that it's going to be just two steps forward and one step back there's definitely some truth I
31:01
hate the term they use the term healing crisis and I think they use that because they shove people through this one size
31:08
does not at all fit all situation it can be much gentler than
31:13
that but there usually is you know it doesn't feel fabulous when 40 years of toxins start exiting and we start
31:19
clearing out the exit so I would just I would say you know the micro goals and that you are absolutely worth it your
31:28
longevity your time on this planet and feeling as fabulous as you can I mean people all you know always ask me how
31:35
that is how I feel happy I have held my cold blue child in my hand I've picked
31:43
out a little coffin some of the worst things yet I wake up still and I create joy and a lot of that I mean my son's
31:50
father has both legs amputated above the knee so we're not big on excuses we're big on choices and empowering choices
31:57
and but I said I attribute that to gut health if my gut was down and out right
32:02
now I hate to think yeah I know I'd be on meds I know I'd be having
32:08
side-effects I mean I went through that insomnia and all of that so take my first goal be realistic and know that
32:14
it's going to be kind of two steps forward one step back the body is maintaining its homeostasis for this beautiful thing it never ceases to amaze
32:21
me it does you know a thank you such wonderful wonderful information I'm so
