Hello and welcome to pardon my French episode 19, as always. I am your host Ingrid Delamar Kenny and I am live from Monaco. Geez. I can't wait to tell you. I'm live from like Saint Bart's or Saint-Tropez or Capri. I need a vacay don't know about you but definitely need a vacay. Sorry. I get sidetracked today. I want to talk to you about emotions and weight loss or and and impulse somebody asked me a question and said can you talk about emotional eating and so I decided to go far and Beyond emotional eating and discuss a lot of the tactics that the diet industry and diet brands are using to get you to believe them to get you to trust their product to have you sometimes even believe that their Act is working for you. We call that the placebo effect. Do you remember ever hearing it was a popular talk in a few documentaries back, I guess in the early 2000 that supermarkets actually talk use sorry specific music to get you to impulsively buy more. There is a survey that was conducted in a journal. I can't remember which where they concluded that in some cases the place more specifically the atmosphere of the place is more influential than the product and self itself in the purchase decision. And in some cases the atmosphere is the actual primary product. Can you imagine that So in supermarkets, it was shown that retailers use sound and in certain stores Sound and Music trigger different behaviors. So including the elusive The elusive Behavior, I want to spend more money Behavior. I do believe that this is a great introduction to spoke to speak about emotional eating a lot of what we do a lot of our behavior that we tend. To regret later are triggered by emotions about what we talked we call emotions. There is a big rule that retailers often don't understand which is that music on top of noise is Journal generally more noise. So it's like putting perfume on bad smell you just get a worse smell. That's someone that set out on the BBC News, so Some of you may not know that but when I first started my studies my side job was to be a piano teacher. So I have a very acute sense of you know, the emotions and the behavior that Tempo and music can trigger the human response to music can be too high impact of Temple may stem from the fact that Temple is applicable not only to music but to a wide range of experiential Just so Youmans acquired the ability to process Tempo the speed at which music is played early in life. And so before we can even learn the Doremi we can clap our hands to a beat fast slow. It doesn't matter we seem to have the innate ability to process Tempo. So in the 1980s are ready some marketing. Others explored how stores might exploit our connection to Tempo in order to influence customers behavior and ultimately increase sales and how did I come to talk about this on this podcast? I was talking to one of my client during one of our mind to body Mentor session. And while I'm going to respect her privacy, I can tell you that she has an athletic background very similar to mine and a pure. like of things like spinning or Orange Theory or anything like that and I was saying to her that I have clients and I have empathy for them that do still need it to go to spinning even though I try to discourage it in their journey to attempt to lose weight or to lower their cortisol levels are to find fight certain hormone imbalance that I think are not helped by the the fact that they go to spinning class for example, and I was talking to this client about this and saying to her I am wondering what it is with that red light dark space darkness and red light and music that gets this people to run back to the spinning sessions on a daily. I need to search and find out what's the trigger and so then I had like this lightbulb moment going. Wait a second Super Markets actually also use lighting and music to get people to buy impulsively and consume more. So in a 1982 paper someone called milliman revealed in a paper called using background music to affect the behavior Supermarket Shoppers. He revealed that the tempo of a stores background music can influence both the pace of customer traffic flow how fast people walk through the store as well as the sales volume. So here is a here is how it goes with supermarkets and I'll get to the point as where. We're concerned here when it comes to our health and how we consume certain foods and how we gravitate towards certain workouts. They're not necessarily good for us, but they become like a drug fast which is up-tempo music makes people move more quickly through a store and they end up buying less slow down Tempo Music makes people move more slowly through a store and they end up buying more and that makes a lot of sense because through our music leads to slower shop. Purrs, which in turn leads to Shoppers having more time to discover and interact with more products. So in Milli man's Supermarket study found that on average sales volume was 38% higher on this when stores play it slow background music. That's not really the figures that's important. We all know that if I wanted to count shit up and add shit up. I'd be a fucking accountant, but I'm not so let's forget about percentage the finding what's important that finding and the reason why it got me thinking by the same token about spinning classes and people's obsession with going to spinning even though they don't see their bodies moving inch from the size. They started at Is dot I believe that delighting that red light that it that they have in spinning classes that whole atmosphere and the music very much like in supermarkets does influence people's behavior and possibly even trigger some sort of dependency or obsessiveness with going to spinning. So I believe that these are factors the same way that these factors when people ask me, how can I lower my cortisol and I say, well you need sunlight and you need to denoise. You need to find a place to eat that is quiet. For example not be always noisy places. Make sure that someone you work out with there's not yell at you. I do believe that sounds smells noise around you lighting can influence. Your behavior as far as consuming or going somewhere or becoming so obsessive about a discipline that is not necessarily good for you and you for example, listen to me. I have a client spoke to her this week and she listens to me and she trust my opinion, but she tells me angry don't make me quit that class I am. I need that class and when she explained it to me everything she said had absolutely nothing to do with any type of body metamorphosis. She didn't tell me it makes my butt tighter. She didn't tell me when I got out of there. I feel like a Victoria's Secret model. She just said this is my my group of women. This is I feel good there. I can't wait to get in there and feel what I feel. And at that point I have so much empathy for someone like that because she's not going to lose weight. She's not going to fix her hormonal imbalance that probably comes from her cortisol levels being so hot in by that very discipline that she gravitate towards. So I said to her let's take this discipline and decide that this is a hobby. This is not something you do for your health. This is not something you do for benefits to your body. This is not something you do for weight loss or for sculpting or for anything like that to something you do as a hobby. You won't enjoy it. This is a sort of a passion. So put it aside and make sure that like chocolate a passion is not practiced every single day. Because a passion or a hobby like if you love golf, you're not going to go golfing every day unless you're a multi-millionaire and you have time and time and time to do so. So the same should go with your crazy friend tick exercise that you just described. So if it's spinning or you know, Orangetheory or whatever it is. So then what are we going to do for your body? And so let's outweigh what you're doing by practicing this discipline that your hobby lets up with a sensible workout that will actually keep your cortisol in check and rub your hormones the right way, whether it's the method or whether it's bar or whether it's the Tracy Anderson method which I do believe is, you know, not that for your cortisol. I don't love the Tracy Anderson method I'm not saying that in any kind of competitive way. I love it better than anything else you could be doing as far as spinning cardio cross training CrossFit. Hey, I will I will be the first one to tell you to trace the other two to go for Tracy Anderson. She's a genius. I've seen some amazing body Transformations from it, but I do find that their her Sidekicks are not great for spinal alignment and can cause some um hip injuries and I've seen some but that just comes from my obsession with spinal alignment. So I'm not meaning it as trashing it at all. If you give me a choice between all of the other disciplines that you know, I hate high intensity high impact. I will tell you Tracy is my first choice. So but then if you really tell me to pick I would tell you to go to mat Pilates sessions or bar sessions something low impact with resistance. So going back to surveys in 2011. There's another study study that came out from this guy has a German name. I think his name is Kunal fro if I'm pronouncing it all with a bunch of other researchers and their study found that you can fine-tune the background music of a store and optimize it for increased sales by paying attention to the modes of the songs. You're playing in addition. The temples so the best Tempo mode combination for boosting sales at a supermarket was downtempo and minor. So next time you go to the supermarket and you end up buying shit. You probably didn't need or didn't want to buy pay attention to the music and sometimes having awareness. About exterior things trying to influence your impulsive behaviors, then you're less likely to fall for it. But in other words people buy more when they are slow sad songs playing in the background. Sue for the people that say can you speak about emotional binging emotional eating? I wanted to take it a notch further. By making you realize that you can actually be aware of. Exterior factors that will make you eat emotionally the same way that they are exterior factors that will make you consume more in a store. So given for example that both slow tempo and minor mode are associated with negative effect, like Sadness music for example induced with sadness May. Well explain increase spending behavior in a shopping environment. So if music can affect you when you food shopping, for example Sad music and affect you when your food shopping then of course your emotions or sadness or negative feelings about your body. For example, you're like waking up saying I am on a diet today saying I'm going to diet today. First of all has the word die in it. I can't repeat it enough Words of Power. So you're waking up getting on your scale going, okay? Day is the first day of my diet. Not today's the first day that I take my health into control. Today's the first day that I'm about to turn into a fucking supermodel know today is the first day of my diet today. I will allow myself a mindful Indulgence. Fuck you. Fuck you and your mindful Indulgence. What the fuck does that mean anyway? No, that is the first negative effect that you're putting on to your brain that eventually 8 hours after you've decided woke up got on your scale and said you're on the diet. And you might have a mindful fucking Indulgence. Eight hours later you're in your pantry eating the whole fucking candy Shelf. Guess what supermarket music same shit, whatever you say to yourself when you take a diet journal and you start journaling your food so that one day somebody one of your grandchildren can find your journal and say hey Grandma Tilly ate a carrot. Yes, 20 years ago. She wrote it right here mama. That's so fucking stupid. Why you riding a foot Journal? Just that alone makes me feel like I'm back in school. Like I'm back to having a teacher that might hit me on the tip of my finger with a ruler because I didn't do my homework, right? I didn't lock my food in the right way. You might even actually lie on your food journal. Can you imagine all of this set you up for potentially emotional impulsive? binging Supermarket music next time you want to say I want to fucking diet thing to yourself. I just played Supermarket music to affect me to binge to consume more. It's a trigger. So the same way that music is a sort of complex chemistry of controllable elements in our minds and behavior. Well do music two words that you play in your head when you refer to your body or your self-image or your resolutions from the morning or your intentions. I hate that word. Fuck your intentions. Also, especially when they relate to I can eat this because this only this many net carbs. Fucking net carbs. Anyways, like what are you a fucking accountant? Know what you doing is playing Words and sounds in your head that will trigger an impulsive behavior. Which you will regret? Very much like Supermarket music. So the words in your head the words of your diet Guru the words of that fucking influencer that you following. She has a great waistline. All these words diet Indulgence sheet meal reset all these words have the effect. of Supermarket music on consumers they have that effect on you. The mind to body thing is actually so powerful and it has nothing to do with Voodoo shit or spiritual fucking shit. Nothing to do with that. They are studies that have confirmed that our behaviors are triggered by backgrounds music and sounds and smells for example. Hey, let me not be a fucking hypocrite when I tell you that. My coffee is Gangster. Chic. Not that my coffee has this many net carbs and that amount of fiber. I tell you it's fucking gangster. Chic. Why because I want to set the tone for you. To not have those negative triggers. the fact that you looking at my jar and it's so Gangsta to Chic and doesn't have any green on it anything that makes you think of health or anything that makes you think of dieting or anything that makes you think of medication but rather looks like something very luxurious very French very chic and almost like a beauty product set the tone for the way that you're going to Go about it the way that you're going to feel about it because everything that you feel ends up reflecting on your waistline, so not to say that simply Newland is not effective. But I do feel that you do need the might set change. It's not that simply in your land is going to be a magic powder that's going to make you lose weight if your other behaviors persist your Diet behaviors or your excessive cardio behaviors. So the way that my package was thought out was like, well, I don't want people to feel like they're on a diet. I certainly don't want people to feel like they're taking medication and I don't want people to just think of eating leafy greens either. I want people to feel Chic I want people to Realize that this is about being beautiful from the inside out. I want people to realize that it's all about a mindset to start with to tell yourself. I'm drinking Beauty from the morning not I'm going to fucking diet and take this green package of whatever So eventually in 30 days. I can be hot I wanted the jar to see right away. Well by owning this jar of Simply in Ulan and using this powder. I'm fucking gangster Chic and I'm fucking hot from day one. Mindset are also triggers in your emotions and in your behaviors and the voice in your head is the background music to your behaviors. So when you ask me, why do you eat emotionally? I kind of want to say well what music are you playing in your head? So the same goes about the color the packaging of your health food. It's very funny because I find that the American mentality will be very attracted to the green leafy healthy-looking packaging and so like people that are more health conscious and and they don't usually do so Shield themselves from people that are diet conscious although they should there's a big difference between a health Chopper a healthy food chopper or a diet food chopper. I can't even speak enough of this difference and this is something I'm going to introduce more and more is that they're looking at the packaging very often and how smooth that green looks and you know, how much to trust a package and very often that will prevent them from paying attention to the content and so what I want to say to you without making you a friendship person and a paranoid person about green packaging or anything that looks leafy or healthy or is if you are faced with a situation where something is Ding like okay we're going to say there the package is innocent until proven guilty. Let's just look at it that way but if something seems really really good from the packaging and you feel like the packaging use your intuition here. This is a good exercise for that muscle called intuition. Give it the benefit of the doubt turn it around and start. Reading the content. It's the same thing with CERN wordings like natural flavors. Well, if the flavor was that natural it would say banana extract ore concentrate of Apple. It's not going to say natural flavors, including vanilla or banana or whatever. So you have to kind of start looking at the packaging and the words Does that make sense? I'm feeling like I'm I have something in my head when I said I am thinking of a few products that back in the days would have me really really trust it. But today knowing what I know when I see a CERN, I want to see a pattern of packaging I tend to trust less. So for example when you go buy a yogurt, let's talk about a yogurt. So people go and see the And fat and they're attracted to that but now, you know, I've explained in previous podcast that 0% fat means that they've stripped the fat away so they wouldn't lie to you. And so yeah, they took out all of the fat. So what's left? Well what's left is cheese that tastes absolutely disgusting because when you remove the fat you're left with such sour disgusting Ever so why do they do they add sugar lots and lots of sugar and technically they're not lying to you when they're telling you that free. It is free of fat. It is not free of sugar or sugar alternative for example, so instead of looking at that, I've noticed that my pattern of buying a yogurt will have me gravitate for example towards to yogurt that is in glass. believe it or not and even nowadays I have to ask myself if they put it in glass to hide something so I don't want to cause paranoia but as opposed to picking your yogurt from the color of the packaging or the fact that it says low-fat or 0% fat and now they often add probiotic because they know Know that that's going to get your Instagram educated mind to buy it. You want to really look at the content and content in cheese should be cheese nothing else. Can you imagine that it was shown that even the typeface and layout of certain design elements on a product can contribute to the healthiness perception of a product the graphic elements such as arrows and swirls that point upwards let people to perceive for example laundry detergent as fresher compared to the downward pointing arrows. Can you imagine that can you imagine that? Everything in your environment is trying to take your intuition away from you. I'll tell you something else if there's a food commercial that you watch and going to the supermarket. You could sink the slogan in your head. Don't fucking buy it. If you're following a guru and that glue is constantly brainwashing you and pounding on you hammering you with the same slogan. Don't fucking buy their product. Fuck them. They're trying to hypnotize. No ties you and take away your intuition. The bottom line is the only song that should be playing in your head is the one of your tuition listen to it. It's there. How do you listen to your intuition? You tune out the shit that's put out there to eat. No ties you into believing that you need them to be skinny. You don't need no one to be skinny. You know what you need to be skinny. You need to be healthy, you need the information that you get from me from doctors from your research and you need to put it through a process of logic. and trial so I want to say in a very very attractive world of noises music slogans. The only music that should be playing in your ears. Is that of your intuition? So let's talk about aspect and attractiveness of food. You have to kind of retrain your intuition to stop looking at vegetables nuts potatoes fruits their shapes their colors how to do the appeal to your eyes and your sense of smell. How do they feel in your head? And this is how they will affect your saturation hormone leptin. Technically you have it at your fingertips and in the palm of your hands to work alongside your trigger hormones. Which will eventually decide whether you are resisting insulin, whether you're retaining and storing fat around your midsection or whether you're controlling your weight in a healthy way. So as I told you I'm going to introduce more and more of those real life Heroes mindset changing Heroes segments. And today. I am bringing you Shannon Shannon send me an amazing testimonial when I asked who would like to come on the podcast to talk about their Journey from dieting and possibly hurting their health to changing their mindsets just from picking up a little bit of my information. And French gangster Chic with them here and there and then these super these superheroes real life superheroes get their intuition back and change everything. So Shannon is the one that I picked and I found that you know, and I'm going to bring more more and more of you because I find that each and every one of you has a story with that and it's a brave one and One that's influential and inspiring and definitely that will resonate at least with one person in Shannon's case. She's an actress and she doesn't come on the podcast to talk Glenmore at all. She talks about the pressure from being an actress and to be being a 40 year old actress and I thought that was so important because anybody that goes on a diet. Has some type of a pressure point in their life that makes them go on that diet, whether it's their work environment, whether it's their friends whether it's a relationship whether it's an upcoming wedding or an upcoming, you know Bachelorette trip where you want to look as good at the other girls or whether it's Instagram and comparing yourself to others on Instagram. Whatever it is. Everybody has that pressure point that makes you go on this diet. Ex and makes you possibly forget about your health. And so I think that Shannon's point of view. It's not even a point of view d'shannon is experience and the way that she's decided to turn it all around. Because she felt like maybe she was really truly about to hurt her health so much. How she did it and how Brave it was? I think it's so important for you to hear. So without further Ado here is the beautiful Shannon. Hi Shannon, Hi, how are you? Good. How are you? I'm great. This is so exciting to talk to you. It's so nice to talk to you. We always talk on Instagram. We always actually write to each other on Instagram. We've become instant friends. So but it's so I knew your voice because I always watch your stories and I love them, but it's so nice to actually speak to you in real life. Thank you for doing this. Thank you so so much. I did post your testimony. I think last week right when I just started doing do bringing you guys on like bringing my followers on and I knew I wanted to bring you on because your testimony is so relatable on so many levels and we're going to speak about I'm not going to read it because I think it's just better to bring it up in you know. Discussion and I'll be posted on Instagram for those that really want to read it and maybe see what made me want to bring you on but the most important part I thought which made you very influential I think very important for people to hear what you had to say is that you're an actress and I find that that industry puts so much fucking pressure on women. Owen to not only look a certain way but I also feel like when you go out to dinner with people or when people see what you order very often, they'll be like wait, you're an actress you really going to eat that and I find that this so so much pressure that this industry that you that you're in with a lot of you know, put so much pressure and I mean from your testimony, obviously, you've almost you've made yourself sick you've you know, You've restricted yourself a lot and parallel to that. You have a family you're a mom. You have two children. You have a husband who loves to cook. I know that because I follow you I stalk you and I and I guess it's like how do you first find the balance when you're restricting yourself the way you did before you started following my tips? And how do you find the balance to give a healthy lifestyle to your children your husband sit down to the ER and and we're going to go to what has changed and what made you so brave to decide to listen to me a complete stranger go on a whim and change everything from there. So yeah. I know I'm asking you like for so much. I want you to like totally share with us, but I love your message. I love I love the change that you've made. I find it so fucking Brave. That's exactly what I said to Rasheeda on last week's episode and to Alexis. I can't bring myself to really figure out how to be to meet someone on Instagram and even someone that will answer to your messages like I have or and besides you know, what let me take a chance on my waistline and in your case potentially with my career and try out what this woman is telling me to try out for a little while. So, please walk us through the process a little bit. okay, well to be honest it wasn't that hard to follow you and your advice you you are so intuitive and it's really kind of like a win-win honestly like because because you're telling me you're telling the people who follow you to enjoy their meals to lower their cortisol levels to relax and you know, enjoy you to have a healthy relationship with food and if that helps you Wait, that's amazing. And if it doesn't you still get to enjoy and relaxing and lowering your cortisol, so It's true that I often say that. It's true that I often say that but I always also tell people like follow your intuition and for some people that could mean eating more than what they're eating more which is something people are afraid of very often. So I still find it so brave because at this point unlike giving you all of these advice, but I'm telling you. Yeah, follow your intuition and at this point people send your message to go. Well, my intuition isn't telling me how much I should be eating. So that's It's scary. I you know, I find that it's scary. Yeah, so what was it like for you? How do I know how it started? Tell me if I'm wrong. I remember you telling me like I sat down with my husband and I already we ate in like nice place and I put beautiful. I think you said fabric napkins and we actually sat down and I think that's how you put it. Like, I think that was one of your first step if I'm not mistaking. Yeah, and I used to do that a lot. So So my husband I own a restaurant. So we definitely like eat and enjoy enjoy eating but when I when I got back into acting so after my kids were old enough and I started getting back into acting. I just thought it would be easy to drop the weight, you know, like I just assumed that the old tricks would work. So, you know, I would just start exercising morning and night and I would really cut back on calories and not eat very much and at first it was working pretty well and then Let's say I've done about 20 different commercials and films in Seattle and the bright beers and it just keeps getting harder and harder to you know, because because like I was saying when I wrote you it's not balanced. It sounds like balance in this crazy way that you can eat whatever you want and enjoy your life and then you starve yourself to lose the weight whenever you want to you know, we see celebrities doing this all the time. That's why exactly ballooning up and then they drop it very quickly and So yeah, so when I heard you and so then I got really sick. I got really sick the last time I did it and you would do single so I know that you said like before starting shoots, you would actually juice. Yeah. Yeah, I've done I've done it all and the last time I was actually not losing my I was gaining weight and I was basically gaining weight on like air and water. I don't know how it was when I was working out. I was passing it was ridiculous and Is your cortisol levels technically? That's what it was. I believe that if like people that tell me I got I gained weight on air and I almost passed out because I was starving myself and I still gain weight then at that point, you know, it's your hormones completely imbalanced you cortisol levels and so me about you you started talking about hormones and it just clicked it clicks so hard is me and I realized oh my gosh, I'm I'm hurting myself. You know, this is unhealthy and And you know and I remembered like you know when you're a kid, I don't know. I don't know about everyone else when I was a kid. I loved eating and I had a really great relationship with food as many French people do and I'm sure some of them Americans do as well and somewhere that changes somewhere. It's not enough to be healthy than you want to be sick then, you know, I guess maybe it's true or something. I think it's the latter than noise and it's funny that you're saying that because this episode and I haven't even told you this. But this episode this week is about the noise around us that makes us start having this unhealthy relationship with food and have us consuming in a different way and it's not I'm not talking about noise on Instagram. Like a lot of people do like I have before I'm talking about literally in the early 2000s. There was a lot of documentaries that would come out about how supermarkets would go and do stir in surveys and research and would find a pattern of music that they could play so that consumers would buy more while in the supermarket and this is what this episode is about today because I realized I've started so much to talk about it already last week when I said like when you look at I think Stevia there's a leaf on this TV our packet and like all of these diet products. They're not brown. They're not red. They're green, like everything that you have around you whether sounds or slogans are Stern diet or you know package saying when you go to a whole food just the fact that they've called it whole food, but it's not no longer necessarily whole, you know, and like for a while their logo with something that looks so earthy all of that noise becomes noise in your head. Ed and that's where your healthy relationship with food, you know turns around and become so bad. I think I think there's here. Yeah, when we stop listening to our intuition and just exactly yeah. Yeah, and we're just exact phrase depriving and torturing tormenting ourselves right exactly so fast forward you almost you felt like you almost died. II was I was thinking I needed to go to the hospital a couple nights and I barely was able to go to sleep and kind of sleep off. It's like I guess my blood sugar levels were super super low hmm and then and get this okay. So then I go to the doctor and she and is actually naturopath and she told me that what I was experiencing was just from getting older and I should just embrace it as normal. Oh no. So wait. How old are you this year? And you're just bringing life to people and I appreciate you so much Ingrid. I really do. Thank you. Thank you, but you know that I didn't bring you on here to toot my horn. I appreciate that so so much but the reason why I brought you on here and I said that she before we started recording was because I feel like very often when people Listen to Someone Like You Who says I went on diets and I Almost hurt myself. I heard myself. I almost died. Some people will have Embassy and they'll be able to relate to you and some other people like people would think that I'm like that will be like well what the fuck like how fucking stupid can you be? This isn't go on, you know kiddo and go on pillow and Palio or whatever that's called and you're allowed protein on this one and you're like and just count your Macros. But like what the fuck you almost died like, we're not telling you to stop like now the new trend in In diet, they tell you well, you're actually not restricting yourself because we allow you to eat this this enough. But in fact someone like you you feel like literally your livelihood depends on this. Yeah. So I feel like the pressure on you is even worst and that's why I thought that it would be so great because for you to come on and explain what you've been going through and the fact that Some point you had to look at yourself and say well, you know, I'm not healthy. I may be on my way to get it thinner, but I'm definitely not healthy. And where do they do? Where does it hit you that you need both? You know that you need one to have the other. Yes. Yeah, and I've known So many actors and model friends of mine has done keto and they they've messed up their metabolisms. Like they kids even eat a piece of fruit without gaining. Gaining weight like they it's crazy there. I I never ever want that. So to see someone like you who is vibrant and healthy and you eat what you want but you eat in moderation, you know, you have like you eat intuitively. I guess it's so refreshing. It really is. That's that's what I've always wanted. You know, I mean, I think that's what everybody wants us to be able to enjoy their food is not how much suffering isn't it funny exactly suffer. We have to suffer for everything but That's the bottom line and that's where the point becomes to what you start to understand your body. And you realize that the more you heard it. Like you said people that go on kiddo or whatever at some point. They cannot even eat a food anymore without gaining weight, which is do not normal because how is it that animals are able to feed on food all day and not gain weight. Like if you go, you know, if you go in in on a safari in Africa these animals Are not starving they have you know, Nature's at Nature's Food at their reach and there's nothing on fruits and they feeding on meat whatever and they're not I've never seen an overweight, you know, tiger or lion or you know, not even a gorilla. Why is it that we fucked ourselves up so much that we have reactions to Natural things like a sweet potato or Banana or a mango this alone shows us that there's a problem with what we've done to our body that it's no longer, you know, it's resisting real food. And so it has as gravitating toward green packages substituting for food and making us dependent on those thinking we would gain weight. Otherwise. Yeah, but for you was the process where like where you started doing this just for the pleasure like saying, okay. You know what, Whether I gained I lose weight or not. I'm gonna try to enjoy life like Ingrid says and like at what point do you feel like it's starting to make a difference on your body and did it make a difference on your body? Yeah. Well at first I really had screwed up my metabolism, you know, it was it was a pretty scary place. So at first it was basically I just I wasn't gaining weight anymore, you know, like I came to a place or I think gaining weight because I started just gaining weight. It was scary. Like no matter what I did. I was gaining weight and then and then I think honestly I am not plugging Ingress products you guys but inulin inulin has made a huge difference, like first of all, it curves your appetite. It really helps with the satiation. I think you say satiation. I say say say she and I know bag know that Americans Association And I used to but I don't know since I've moved with probably not have an accent so fucking weird. It's not even a French accent, but I was told I have an accent and I do hear some people say such Easton and some other things saturation. So say it however, you say it but it really it really helps. You know, I feel I feel it really helps with the intermittent fasting like just taking time to let your body metabolize what you've put into it giving it that rest and Site and start in the day and then you know the inulin coffee. Like I said, it does feel like a warm hug Monica. I put garbage. I love that. I think that's right. You're the one who was behind that you're the one that was behind that I routed on one of my Instagram photos. And I said, yes, someone said and I couldn't remember who said it. You're the one that I have to say. I really when I said it it just came spontaneously, but then I looked on my for stigmatic packaging and it said a warm like a Warm hug from your grandpa. I think a warm hug from Monica was more. I loved it. I loved it because you know when I made the packaging it's so funny that you're saying it because I already recorded as part of the podcast obviously like we're getting to the time now that it's about to be edited like it's right. Now as we recording this it's like 7:21 p.m. Here in Monaco and it's going to go to editing right after and it's going to publish in about an hour or two. so it's funny that you're talking about the packaging because I was explaining that I never wanted my package to look like health food or medication, which is so strange because you would think that that's what I want, but I wanted my packaging to look like a beauty product you can trust yes, but a beauty products so that when you wake up in the morning, you don't say I need this that comes from this packaging to be healthy, but at rather this thing where you look at it Oh, yeah, I'm a fucking she gangster and I'm beautiful and so I only use fucking beautiful things in my kitchen and I kind of like wanted someone to go with that attitude. And then when we added the seal, you know, I've Lauren said in one of the in the podcast on episode 17, she said well in Courage, he loves his fast and then she makes her product better like another product but the packaging and all of that better after so the Newland whatever is inside never change. Yeah, the packaging got better and better and better and we added the little seal that says with love from Monaco. And at that point it was like why did that come on? It was like we needed to put on a seal a security seal. That was a mistake and I was telling Sue then like I want to set send people love I want them to know that we're sending it to them with love, but we also want them to feel of for themselves. And so this is how it came about and so When you said that you like it's like a warm life from warm hug from Monaco. I'm like, yes, it worked. You know, like it worked. Like people really feel that that's so cool. Totally and I do think you know, I always talk about the plastic bubble effect and not to say that in Ulan is a has a placebo effect. No II it works, you know, it's proven doctors are talking about it more and more Doctrine gondry is talking about it in Bookie, just one on dr. Oz's podcast and spoke about it with him with you both agreed that you know, you said like my little bugs in my tummy. They peed on a new land they like in yelling to be. Okay, so I try to get in you land in my diet so we know it works, but I do think like you said that you can't just taking you all in and continue to run on an empty stomach or continue your bad habits or go have 50 burgers in the week. There's the whole first of all mental. Out of it. We're like yeah, the cortisol level has to go down. And yeah, you've got to have some love for yourself. And so it's like the packaging. I wanted it to entice you and all of those that get it and it does it for me too when I go for my you know for my jar in the morning to stay from the morning like today. I am going to love myself. Yes all around. I'm going to love my hormone and treat myself. Well, I'm not going to eat a salad. My desk out of plastic and this is kind of like it was a way of getting people to put two and two together and really go on with the lifestyle because in your land on its own is not going to work that magic. If you don't align everything else including, you know, a Shaker and better kind of lifestyle and I want you to talk about that because you said that you leveled your hormones. I do believe that inulin help to you send me a message. But after two weeks, I remember a few months ago. And you said I'm two weeks on it and my hormones have leveled. Finally they leveled out they are leveled. It's like something happened in two weeks. But you did do a few tweaks like that. You tweaked some aspects of your life a high high stress aspect of your life. So, what did you do? Yeah. It said well for one thing what are your first podcast I think was your second episode you were talking. You need to eat in a quiet place. And then I have two kids who are extremely noisy. But I played the episode for them to we're laughing like I you know, and I reasoned with them and I said, you know, oh my God, and I'm cursing in my episodes you let your kids listen to me. They love you actually actually, you know, and we were thinking about coming to Monica the spring and my youngest son, especially like can I meet angry and he's like, oh, I want to meet him. That's so cute. You have a couple little fans in my kids as well. So cute. So like I think you know just really taking the time and teaching that to my kids to that. This is how we digest my older son is really into eating french and proper and you know, sitting up straight and putting his forums forearms on the team. I love it. It has a really great effect. And I just you know anything that you can do to lower your stress, I mean working out but not working out rigorously like working out in a way where you know that you're breathing like that's how I can sometimes tell is when I stop breathing or my breathing becomes really rapid and then I just slowed down and I just try to ease into it and relax and enjoy, you know, enjoy the experience enjoy the experience whatever we're doing, you know, and I mean, obviously you can't Yeah, there's a lot of stressors in life. But as much as Eucharist, I always say try to control what you can control that. Like, of course if you have a very high-stress job and an alpha level of a boss or a very stressful bother you obviously cannot control that but what you can control you should consult like your lunch time like your walk home or, you know, anything you can control then can definitely contribute to lowering your cortisol. So obviously not everybody has access Is to like a sea view for lunch, but you do have access to a little piece of heaven wherever you are to go look for it. You said you lost weight. So you are you have lost weight doing? Yeah. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean that came mostly from working out. So I feel like the inulin really helps the food digest. I don't know what it does. Like I never got like the gassy bloating us that some people get from it. But I do notice that especially if I take those two scoops at night. My stomach is really flat in the morning. So I feel like it's just helping with digestion and I cannot wait to get your kefir going to come here because Fair yeah here this way to you excited because God help get help is everything I think, you know, well, I mean as well as lowering cortisol, but God help is like no it's all correlated. For sure. Yeah, actually, you know that I know you listen to my podcasts like so well you're so A good listener and I know that because very often you will do like recommendation the next day and like a small summary and sometimes I report to because you're like you're so photogenic and I love your voice and you get such a good way of like making everything that I say in your own words so understandable, and I'm so I know you've heard that but actually got help and died and and aiding your digestion. So whether it's by eating snow or cooking a little bit of Your vegetables instead of eating a fucking Yahoo! They did a or whatever. I know you do all of that will lower your cortisol. So when you are speaking of God health and now you are going to hopefully very soon to the cafe. I can't wait to tell you do it because you're going to become obsessed with the whole the whole culture and the whole, you know fermentation and the kids might even love the process. I know my kids are very intrigued by it. But once you love you really level your guide, which I You've done within your land then your hormones get balanced and your cortisol level goes down believe it or not when your digestion is difficult and you either like burp or it's just a difficult digestion. Your cortisol level goes up and a lot of people don't know that because they don't associate straps with digestion, but that's one of the main sources of stress it digestion. So you're absolutely right. You've become a little expert. Well, thank you. And so one more question. Well actually maybe a few more before I let you go. How did the family adjust to the fact that you totally change your mindset and your mentality like how they how did it go at home? Because I seen your videos of you sitting with your husband. You've tagged me like you guys made some of you made something that I that was on my cookbook is and but but Like a family has to watch a mom go from like being a Dieter and someone that really like goes to the gym and then probably come back in a bad mood because it was so tough and you know and all that stuff and all of the sudden you have this completely insane change of mindset and you're now able to kind of share it with the family because that's something that's healthy for them to take part in. How does that transition happened? And I know you took you said the kids listen to the bar. I cast but like what happens at home. I think they just benefit it for sure. I'm happier and the kitchen I'm making healthier food. I mean, I've always been really into Health Food, you know, when I wasn't like starving myself. I was always, you know, putting together really good meals for my family. I mean as much as you have time for that just being able to do that more and and being able to like listen to your podcast with my As in helping them understand that their health is in their hands. There's only so much you can do as a mom, you know, the kids really need to own it and me educated and understand how their bodies work understand what's going on when they grab that piece a candy over a piece of fruit or something, you know, so that's great. I feel like I feel they're just they're very open to everything. They love the food what we cook from your cookbook. I'm about to make your day. Tahini ear. What is it called? The Prelude brioche. I don't really know. Yes. I love the kids actually love those. You can definitely your can definitely get a few extra points with the kids with those four words dying for that. Yeah, so I'm going to do that today. And yeah, I mean, I think everything's just so much more relaxed Ingrid. It's like it's just it's so refreshing. It's hard to explain outside of It's just it's kind of everything's falling into place. You know, it feels right that makes me so happy and also like your age range like our are age range 41, you're 40 makes I think makes us and you more than me even because like people look at my lifestyle, you know that I exercise for a living and you know, they see like the Monaco they don't necessarily see like, you know, everything else that goes behind it, but when someone like you comes on And says, well it's just a few months ago. I was that person I was dieting but I'm also someone who had two kids. I'm also some 140. I'm also someone who went to see a naturopath who told me I was just getting old and I should just like shut the fuck up and handle it then makes you so really durable and I relatable in that sense and so influential that gives you influence in the sense that I know there are few women out there that are listening and I have a lot of those newcomers in my audience. Like I said, I mentioned them last week in my bad guys, and I have so much empathy because they write me and they say, okay, you've got me you got me. I hear you loud and clear you're onto something everything else. I tried doesn't work. You're the last link of that chain of things. I'm willing to try and I tell them exactly what you said. That's how I know. You're a good listener like you, you know your it's a win-win or you might wanna just waste a little bit of time. But at least you're not going to hurt yourself if you try exactly but a lot of them tried the first few days and that's why I'm so happy that I'm still not that busy like popular or whatever that I get like a million messages. I'm still able to kind of answer all of my messages because the Macy's I tried my best but I also love it. I get a lot out of it like it's so humbling and it's like such it fuels me and what I do, I love it. But the first two three days for these women is oh my God I went to the supermarket. I want to hold food and God fuck I'm lost. I don't know what to do. I heard everything you have to say, but Ingrid I'm scared to eat. I'm not used to this mentality like and I have empathy like I think I'm yeah, maybe a year ago before I had contact with this wide audience of different women that has have tried so much and you know short of exorcism maybe I would have been like look at those fucking idiots but today A I listen to all of you so much that actually now I'm like sick. That sounds so scary. This change sounds scary. I understand. What what can you give us advice? Like what happens at the beginning like okay, you heard everything I have to say, I spell it out you listen to the podcast, but then you have to go and put it to good use and Implement. How do you do it? What happened? You know, you just take you just do You can you take it step-by-step and what makes sense to you you hold onto it and you apply it and I mean for me I was in such a bad place like I was so unhealthy and I had no no voice of wisdom in my head, you know, it was all diets and craziness. And so just to hear someone say hey if you want to lower your cortisol, everyone everyone should know at this way. It's common knowledge. I think that cortisol causes fat around your Our midsection it causes you to hold onto fat like this is you know, I think it's becoming common knowledge. I feel like we have been saying it and then now I'm hearing I'm not saying they got it for me. I just think we've come to a point where so many diets have come on the market and so many workout or like so fucking violence and people are still walking around not liking the way their body looks and that sounds sweet. They are people like me that are also supported by doctors like dr. Brody because she had before I met her before. Even read a book. She reached out to me and she said hey, it's so funny that you are saying that look at this page and I was like paragraph 5 and what in her book and she sent it to me and I had just met her and I had ordered the book and not received it yet and she had written a whole paragraph about cortisol. So it's like I think that some doctors were talking about it, but no one was willing to listen to them and then people like me came around and maybe made it a little bit sexier to listen. Into and it so now people are going back to those doctors those poor doctors who like were Pioneers saying it but no one's listening because it's not sexy and then you know Ingrid wait a minute when you're talking about cortisol, and I mean, I can't stay for all doctors, but there are a few prominent doctors who were talking about it and they were selling a pill I remember seeing commercials about it. It's like oh if you have high cortisol take this pill yes, not only is that not sexy. It's dangerous. You know what I mean? So that's the problem also with doctors like that. And that's why I love Michelle because Michelle called herself the food effect doctor and like this is not about you and it's she's so good because she is so like me like with what happened to Dylan and I know you know that I was so anti medication. I did not medicate him during his whole journey of dealing with him being on the Spectrum and I didn't give my girls antibiotics and I didn't even vaccinate them. I'm for a long time because we found that that what happened to Dylan was from vaccination. I'm vaccinated them much later in their lives trying to avoid what happened to Dylan. Yeah, so being so anti medication and anti it was so hard to actually find a doctor who thinks you can first try to heal yourself with food and behavior rather than going for medication right away. And that's what bothers me so much about the doctors that you guys go see in the States because if Go to them and say well I have II high estrogen low progesterone then they're going to give you fucking progesterone cream, which is totally you know, it's it's so bad and then like you said like this doctor speaks about court years old, so he's onto something it's genius. He's finally figured out why diets and certain exercises don't work, but then he's trying to sell you a pill because that's how the medical industry makes money in the states. And that sucks. It sucks sucks for you guys. Yeah. It's yeah. Is there are trained in medication how to medicate not necessarily how to prevent or you know, that's not the natural. I mean, of course at some point certain people will need a pill for a given condition. But yeah, there's when you're dealing with like weight gain that not understandable and it could be because of the cortisol and you start hearing all those things. So you've educated yourself. You've become your home your own little expert. I actually get a Let's it's funny. I used to get a lot of messages from you and I get a lot less now and I feel like you're flying solo. Now. It's like you spread your wings and flying solo where I was at the beginning. You were sending me a little bit more messages and it was always never like it was always when you have time. Can you give me an answer about this? And I love that. I love the fact that there's no could dependence on my knowledge or my experience you and you know, I'm not a doctor. I always repeat it. I always Is remind you but now you're flying solo. I barely if I get any messages from you. It's like a little hard or I love that every but you don't even ask me questions anymore. You just apply the I think the the like the foundation of what you've learned and then you went and did your own research. I know that and I think everyone should do that and you're flying solo. So how long did it take you to go from listening to me, too? Using up into it slowly and like dealing with the fear of perhaps stopping the diet will make you fat and then to finally now just applying it to your life and feeling amazing. I don't know. I mean I still listen to every one of your podcast. I'm still paying attention to your stories, maybe maybe a couple of months of just, you know, experimenting on your own which is what everyone needs to do. They need to experiment and you know, see if inulin works for them. Or see if intermittent fasting Works. Maybe it doesn't you know, you have to listen to your body and and take advice and like you said research on your own and pay attention. I guess maybe maybe after your third or fourth episode. I felt like I had a pretty good foundation like especially after you really delved into the hormones and I felt like I could understand the hormones and now I'm really just trying to tap into that and anything about what's going on in my body. No, honestly, I wanted to tell you that the keyboard to the screen that is your whole body and your weight lays in your hormones and your gut. So now that you've understood that it's like you literally have the handbook to your body. Yeah. Yeah, it's really nice. And you sound like that like I feel like you're sewing control. Whereas when I was first install met you you were like Oh my gosh, like I've been so confused. Yeah, but I love the fact that you I see on your stories that you listen to dr. Gondry and like you went and listened to other podcasts like you really out there in like you have an ear open and at the same time, it seems like you've been able to shut your ears to the noise of to diet world and diet like information. I'm and I find that so cool. That's so so I'm so proud. Of you, I also like I have so much admiration because you know, it's like I was raised to French parents, you know that and so I've never experienced a fear of food, but I've become since I do what I do. I've become so aware that there's so many people walking around things so afraid of food and I realized and that's when I started to decide to bring this little segments into my podcast to bring those real life here. Eros like you like Rashida like Alexis that were on last week and all the other women that send me messages and I will get and Bree every single one of them like real life Heroes because it's so hard to shut that fear that the whole industry of diet has put out there and I want to see that even like I think like even the American Health Association has like put on fear like this put These Warnings. There and like you know, it's making you guys so afraid of food it is and that makes you so fucking Brave and such a hero for like at the age of 40 turn around and say you know what? Yeah. I'm an actress. I still do commercials. I'm still going. I know you still going on casting calls and all of that stuff. Yeah, but no I'm not going to do this to my body anymore. So I have a lot of respect for you, and I know that a lot of women listening to you today and maybe Some children, even though these are not be listening because I'm cursing are going to be so inspired by you. I'm inspired by you. You've inspired a few of the things. I've said in my past podcasts because I do read some of your messages all of your messages, but some of them do questions do things you sent my weight have inspired me to say, okay now, I know it's a concern now. I know it's something I need to look at it looking too so I want to thank you for that. Thank you. You're so beautiful on top of it. You have an amazing amazing. Aura. I feel it on every single one of your videos when I watched you and I love what you do with your family. And your husband is like the sweetest thing can everybody follow you I think your public right? Yeah, honey. That sounds just Razzie. It's shr is easy. I we're gonna go with you on the show notes. Okay, we're going to lie. Get on the show notes, if people can just click and it's that tragedy is your stage name. Is that what you go by? Well actually for acting it is janitors Auggie, but it just seems easier and no it's just like a kid I sent it spinning smash together. I guess I like it. It's cute. It has Pizzazz. I like it just like you. Hey, beautiful. I want to thank you so so much. I think it was super Brave, too. Except to come on a podcast not to talk about, you know, the glamour of your career or you know to plug your business or anything like that but to come and talk about your journey and admitting that you went through what you went through and came out on top. I can't thank you enough. I have a lot of admiration for you and I think you guys really feel very very blessed to call you my insta friend and now my friend in real life.
