Oh man have we waited for this episode? And the reason for that is that I've been very undecided about actually publishing the original episode that I was supposed to publish and bring out to my tribe and the world I'm going to explain why so I decided to do this solo episode to give context and then for the following week listen to My Tribe I had to recenter I'm probably not making much sense to many of you, but I will very soon. I promise let me explain. As you've been following my journey and I've been sharing my whole life with you guys on Instagram on this podcast. You've seen my progress. You've seen some of my hurdles you seen some of my sex successes. Sorry, you've heard me speaking to my kids you've listened to my kids you've listened to Dylan story, which is a compelling story. You've listened to Savannah talking about you know, Her body issues when she's hot dumb, you know how we deal with, you know body image what we feel about Photoshop. You've heard Jill come on the podcast twice. I haven't brought the car down. She's you know, she's 13 years old. I feel like she's too young to make a decision to be outspoken publicly or anything like that. And you know, even though I think she can share so much and she could be so so cute and it would be fair to bring around. I just feel it's a big responsibility to make this decision for her and put her on the podcast that's going to be staying on the airwaves internet Airwaves for a long time. I just don't feel she is, you know at a stage in our life where she can make that decision and I don't want to make it for her by the same way that for example, someone approached me for a reality show. I probably wouldn't let the quota be on because I feel that decision that she would have to make when she is a grown adult. As much as I put my children on Instagram, I'm extremely careful with how much of their life I share and what they're comfortable with. I don't want when they become adults a Savannah and Dylan or adults today, but they weren't always adults when I put them on Instagram. I've been very careful with thinking okay when this child turns 18, 20 21 when they're in age to decide whether they should be on, you know, social media or they should be exposed. And to you know the public eye. Will they be like what Mom? Why did you make this decision for me? This is not a decision. I would have made for myself. I feel the same way about so much. I feel the same way about religion. I feel the same way about a lot of things. So that being said, I've shared so much of everything that comes into play in my life with you. My listeners my audience My Tribe some of my haters. I know listen as well. That's a choice I've made and it's been a therapeutic one for me. Much so that I've written my book and it's going to be released soon was supposed to be released right before New Year's. It's going to be released after New Year's for editing reasons. I've decided to add a little bit more depth to it and more visual to it and that took a little bit more editing and Publishing work, but it will be out soon and then I'll be going on a very small book tour in four main cities that are close to my heart. So maybe one are you and so throughout this journey, you've seen me reacting to internet bullies, you know people that send hateful messages Copy Cow, and if you've been on my Instagram you've seen the latest from Ted, so I got an encrypted message email message from I think it's prompt on which is an encrypted service in Switzerland and Originator of the emails not so smart because an encrypted email does not mean that you stay completely Anonymous if the company the company is to peanut or urged because of death threats or harassment. They have to actually Trace back to the originating IP and they are not bind to keep the person and identified an anonymous if they violate some regulations which in Switzerland and Europe. And regulations on harassment and hateful messages are very serious. So I got an email. I think actually the method got the email was on our contact email from Ted teg. The subject was your diet and the body said go fuck yourself or a whore go fuck yourself of fuck you something like that and That was very emotionally charged on that person side and I we know we all know who Ted is at this point. We obviously know it's someone who is affected by my view on diets. I don't know if their goal ticket is affected or their Mantra or their self-confidence or you know, whatever their Persona or but it's someone that is deeply deeply affected by Diet and the word diet now. I've been very outspoken about how I feel about a diet. I've never been on one in my life simply because I'm French and that is just not something that's part of our vocabulary. We eat mindfully read healthy we real food, but we don't call it a diet. I've explained it before the word diet in France are and in French which is to get it yet means that you're sick and you're on some type of you know, medically prescribed regimen Not to say that people don't die it in France. They are people that are dieting. You know, the the obesity rate here is lower than in the United States, but it's on the rise because fast food is come here. It has become a trend. They just open the three guys, you know near from us here and it's like we went to look it up and we wanted a burger because I do have Burgers once in a while. It's not you know, it's not my absolute favorite food to have every week but once in a while, I love it. And I enjoy it all of it with the top on that's the only part of me that you know is definitely not French. I keep my top on add the beach and I keep my top on the burger, but that being said, you know diets never been part of my vocabulary and I do feel that there's really death of the Mind death of the Soul death of do umin Being as far as someone who can enjoy life when they're on a diet and there's the word die in it. So I always say diet has the word die in it. And each time. I've spoken up about diet per se I've been getting attacked by, you know, an anonymous source. But anyways, when I received the email from Ted that same week, I had announced that someone I've recently become very friendly with And speaking about collaborating with Michelle Shapiro who is a registered dietitian in New York City Yes. You heard me. She may have restored some of my faith in registered dietitians in the United States. I you know, don't hold the profession so close to my heart because what I've seen so far from RDS, especially on Instagram is so scary to me and I have a few that come to mind and I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible trying to not mix two Persona with the actual job but some of the posts and comments and you know, the the relationship with food that disposed in still and I've when I've gone on a rampage before about this when there was the hole Gigi crazed but this is so scary to me and these people are people that I have a hard time professionally, you know having respect for however in My Tribe. I have a few hard few RDS that I respect that have a more holistic approach less diet and Michelle's one of them and she's coming up with an event soon that's called quiet the diet, which I think is a fantastic title. Just she got me at That but that's not how her and I met a few weeks ago before the Ted email. I woke up to about 42 Instagram messages forwarding videos to me of two women and there was Michelle in there was another woman who I will eventually speak about I prefer to keep it on this subject for now and they were I mean usually when People send me videos. I really like try to keep my consumption of content very very narrow. So it doesn't eat up all my energy for this reason. Sometimes if people go have you seen my stories unless you tag me where I'll make a real effort to go, you know, see what you tag me in whether you've consumed my product or whether you've tagged me out of appreciation of you said something kind or whether you said something mean I will see it. It you know, I'm on Instagram so I can interact with you all but getting 42 messages with the same videos, even though I usually refuse to consume anything like that people send me videos of you know, what someone said or whatever not so what someone said about me but just entertainment II try not to consume too much because I don't have enough energy in the day to just consume content. That's not relevant. To my mission to what I do taking care of my kids cooking for my family, you know taking care of my business taking care of my tribe helping someone here and there but 42 messages. I'm like I have to watch and from one woman to the other I end up on Michelle story who's speaking about having been in you know, the workplace as a registered dietitian and working for an organization where she was fat shamed and and bullied and harassed and intimidated and I'm like, why is everyone sending this to me? And then it became clear that a lot of the people that had listened to me. She'll put two and two together and you who had she had worked for and thought that the person or the people behind this organization where the same people that were constantly harassing me through fake, you know, fake name. Send stuff like that on Instagram and I didn't want to give it too much energy because lately they had not been bothering me. I think I fought back so hard and I hid behind the truth rather than you know with skeleton in my closet that he would make sure they would try to pull out like they try to pull up my conviction once and they tried to you know, talk about my criminal record. I think about this all the time. This is not new to you if you've been listening to me, but it became clear that what Michelle was talking about with was, you know being arrest on on the workplace as a registered dietitian being fat shamed and being intimidated. And so I reached out to her and I said, I'm sorry this happened to you and then kind of from there started a dialogue is super friendly dialogue. Nothing hateful. And I said, what's your bottom line Michelle? What do you want to get out of this? Why are you coming out now? And she said, well, I have a lot of clients that are being heard by the diet mentality and not just specifically this diet but my clients are getting hurt. I have a client going through Colin surgery. She said and everybody kept their clients Anonymous, but the bottom line is I have clients that I've been heard by diets and that come to me the main issue. My clients have come with from a past diet is probably the loss of period And I think that the reason why they gravitated towards me to heal from dieting was because I speak so Of hormones and the endocrine system and you know balancing your hormones in the most natural way whether you want to consume simply in your lane or not. There are so many ways that I can get your your period back not me, but you can you know following your intuition leads you to me because I speak about hormones then, you know, you need to get your period back. It's important. There are many doctors in the United States that actually you will go to and say I have a few missed periods and they'll go yeah. So what's the big deal if you come to me here and you tell me I have a few Miss period I'm like, you know what we got a fucking get you back on your cycle, right this second. You're not existing as a normal human being a healthy human being if you don't have your period when you're supposed to and I've had a few clients who wear around my age and I think that's a big deal to the demography the fact that they can relate to me with age and the fact that I've spoken about Hormones as well not just hormones in general and how my hormones change when I turned 36 37 having had three kids. Let's not forget. I have a kid who's almost 21 years old. So, you know my hormones My Cycles have gone through a lot and I've observed them and I've you know balance them back out and I've gone through through that. So I think that's relatable to women my age and I've had clients recovering from and you heard me recovering like it's almost like like an eating disorder like an illness from you know, their diet days coming to me and saying I lost my period and my dietician said I must just be going through early premature menopause. You don't tell a fucking woman at 40 years old that she's going through premature menopause. First of all, you're not a doctor you're a dietitian and as clinical as as a dietitian as As your role is because many dietitians have to go through, you know, clinical internships and you know things like that, you're not entitled to diagnose someone with something as serious and debilitating mentally as premature menopause. You don't tell a woman who's 40 or 42 years old, maybe still trying to build her love life. Maybe still trying to have a family that is in she's an early menopause. Fuck you for that. Whoever said that too many women that have you know that I've come in contact with whether clients followers. I've had pain clients going through this and I've had none plant paying clients people who just consumed my content may be buying your land maybe not and just you know, I would give non medical advice to just easy advice that doesn't affect their health. Badly, or you know, I always say I'm like, I'm not a doctor. I do have a certification in physiology and hormonal response to Fitness, but I'm not a doctor. What I'm going to tell you to do like eat fucking sesame seeds is not going to hurt you it can only help you so for everything else check with your doctor, but the bottom line is I never throw the towel at a woman who's 40 years old 42 43 or even 46 but hasn't gone through the pre menopausal stage for even being diagnosed by a doctor with permanent posting. No, you're not in perimenopause. You've lost your period something's fucking wrong and I'm and the doctors not you know claiming premenopause yet. I don't throw the towel at those women. I'm like, let's try let's give it a few cycles of, you know, eating real food not dieting not being afraid of carbs. back to fatty acids, maybe you know adding in a little bit of ashwagandha or Maca which is all you know, natural stuff maybe adding your own if you want to but you don't have to and tend to your guy and see if you can get your period back and your hair back is a lot of them also reported a lot of hair loss skin elasticity loss, you know, lots of lots of of of Sleep I mean there's so much that came with it. And so many of these women started migrating to me and my content from diets. So when I heard Michelle story saying I have a lot of dieters recovering dieters that come from a diet that turned dieting into an eating disorder, and she said they had to be Hospitalized for it. This was I mean it was like put it to you this way you complaining about a headache and someone comes and goes. Yeah. I was just diagnosed with cancer how fucking stupid that makes you feel about your little egg. That's exactly how I felt when I heard Michelle story and I didn't take it off at face value. because there's a lot of I don't know how to say this. But on Instagram people have a bottom line. A lot of people are seeking attention. A lot of people are looking to ride your wave because they see that you have momentum. A lot of people are if they're not copying you they're trying to use your voice to make their point. So I was kind of like very I On a say that I was careful, but I was and I wanted to know what her bottom line is and that kind of was like constantly my question like even though I wouldn't question her I would say okay. She's you know telling her story. She's not weak. She's not weeping. She's mainly acting as an advocate for other people that you know suffered from dieting, but she's also talking about her. Awful experience in the workplace as an RD, which was completely I mean, it's unbeknownst to me. I didn't see the other side. I didn't know that on, you know, the workplace of a registered dietitian. You could be bullied you could be fat shamed you could be intimidated you could be starving. I didn't know that. I thought that only happened to Willing participants of a diet and so part of me is empathetic to people that diet and then get sick from it because I'm like, they didn't know better The dietitian that got them sick has certifications and very impressive ones with tons of diplomas and you know tons of credentials and very often they hind the hide behind. The science or their you know their version of science but on the other side, so I have empathy for people that trusted that person or organization. But on the other side part of me is like, you know, you were a willing participant. I mean, this is not you know, the Charles Manson family, you know sacked or whatever. So hearing Michelle story we started to talk and then they were so many people that were messaging me. About her and her message and her narrative and then she was sharing a lot of the messages that she was receiving kind of like a me to movement and my first instinct was you know what let's bring awareness without shambling anyone. Let's bring awareness and let's speak about your experience in the workplace. I think that women who have been intimidated. Into I don't know how to say this without being offensive, but it's kind of like when you're not on that diet, you're not on fleek. So you're intimidated and kind of like afraid to not be on the diet anymore. And what I've been hearing from Michelle and some of her peers who I still appreciate even though there are these is these people are scared to quit And I'm like well, why are they scared to quit are they scared to gain the weight and the response is no this care to quit because they're intimidated. They're scared to me. This whole victim thing doesn't cut it. I'm not so much of I mean victim is a very American word and I don't think that it's applicable to a diet movement. No one's a victim. You know, you want you bought the the product you bought the book you you paid the sessions you may have done your research on what you're getting yourself into but it's not a drug. It's not you know, you're not giving in your firstborn. You can quit no matter how much money you've invested in it. You can quit and we're talking about women that are married that I have a husband by their sides who can be a very objective, you know on the outside looking. And sink their wife quit this shit right now. This is not good for you and and still these people are intimidated and they don't want to quit or when they quit they do it very silently and they come to the other side and I would be the other side. I've been really upset at times about that where last year people were quitting a diet, but they didn't want the diet organization to know they were quitting or they were giving in to inulin Simply in your land instead of that diet organizations product or recommended it products and it was like Ingrid. I love your simply inulin, but I can't post you because I don't want to stir shit. I don't want to start drama and I'm like whatever, you know, do what you have to do. I don't care. I'm not in it for the fame or the fortune. I everybody wants to make it but you know, like I said, I build my story brand on their Heroes of my story and I'm not the hero of my story. I explain that so many times you guys are the heroes of my story if Your endocrine system is alleviated by the changes that I could have helped to make or I could have influenced. That's you know, my success story. You're the hero you're on stage. I'm in the audience applauding you and maybe walking you to the stage. So I didn't care that they wanted to do it in the darkness and the shadows of whatever die. That they were abiding by but part of it is in Irving part of it is like a weird adult. So are we, you know still scared of the sorority sisters that they may know that we have gone to another beta gamma party. Like this is really what it looked like and I don't know if it's the hindsight and being in Monaco so far away from it all and really not fearful of anything or anyone at this point and not because I'm far away but because if you've been through the shit, I've been none of these people are Innovations or you know fake messages are going to intimidate the fuck out of me forget that shit. So, you know at times in the past year and a half or so the people that were in the shadow and we're you know consuming simply a new land and letting my philosophy and my product heal them from the guy in and out and you know getting their periods back and being so happy and at some point some of them would let it would let Go of the fear because they felt so much gratitude. I think mostly they should figure out it to towards themselves for finally, you know Breaking Free and following their intuition to me and just listening to my little voice a French reason and and and just following steps on their own because I don't do much. I it's not that we do hours and hours of consultations many of these success stories are not even an hour consult its may be consuming the product consuming. A lot of my content and exchanging a lot of messages on Instagram back and forth. But at some point some of these women are so scared to come out in the open and say I'm using simply Newland I went I went to the other side would be so grateful that it would be like, you know, what fuck it. I'm going to tag you and I know that they did attack me. They were so scared for some of them and some of them felt so free and guess what nothing happened to them but listening to Michelle's story kind of adding me of this whole thing happening last year where I had this whole migration of old, you know of eggs dieters or soon to be ex dieters coming over to me and saying by the way, I used to dye it but I don't want to anymore and I'm gonna listen to you, but please don't tag me so I wanted to bring Michelle on the podcast to kind of bring this. On the table and discuss it and I didn't think it's true in the sense that Michelle came and we started to record and it was emotionally charged on both of our sides. I think because we both had to we had experience on both sides of the story. meaning I was getting you know, I have gone because I haven't gotten them in a really long time until the email last week from Ted, but I had gotten very arresting trying to be intimidating, you know, comments and messages in the past from blocked IDs and whatever but knowing exactly what organizations and what people who come from And when the intimidation didn't work or trying to out my criminal record in work because I was doing it anyways, or you know, I do know how I deal with bullies by now if you've listened to me or if you follow me and kind of seen a little bit of my oh so they went for the jugular and they attack my kids and at the time the coda still was with her baby weight. She was I think she's ten years old. She's 13 out of ten and a half. There was two years ago. Go year and a half ago something like that and she still struggling with her baby when she was like a little Chub and Savannah has a had our ups and downs and you know, she's not very happy with her body. She's my little Jello as I like to call her and I love her body and if you listen to my podcast, you know, I've said this over and over and I love Savannah's body. She is a Mini-Me version of me, but she's way more curvy and voluptuous than I am in a gorgeous way. and she has abs and a gorgeous waist and she is, you know, slender and voluptuous at the same time just like Jennifer Lopez, but she has had her times of struggles with weight more when we lived in the states, then when we lived in France, but the transition was hard and at some point she lost all the weight and then she gained it back and it was tough and then Dylan had Obie's and this is something we spoke about on the podcast with him and he lost the weight all by himself without me putting him on a diet. It was just, you know, just eating differently and I think the change of food coming to France has helped too much and the one thing that I encouraged her most was we would go together. We'd run in Monaco. Yes. I used to make him jog because I felt like a man needs cardio as much as I tell women not to do cardio. He needed cardio. So I went and I did card you're with him. And by the way when I did cardio with him because I wanted him to run I gained weight a little bit my midsection because my cortisol levels didn't like it, but I did it for him and we would run in Monaco which is gorgeous, but it's all uphill for about an hour killed my knees by the way that time but I did it for him and it was worth it. And then we would end up at the beach where I would make him swim for an hour swim until he cried like me. Me I'm tired. But there was the healthiest thing that I could do for him on the other hand as far as the food. I did not micromanage. One thing I stopped doing was buying cookies and things like that and just make cookies at home. Dylan has a gluten intolerance that comes from his pathology. So if you've been listening to a podcast or following me, you know that he was on the spectrum of autism and part of that pathology is very often being intolerant lactose, which is not anymore. Not the French flag. Those anyways intolerant to gluten and so now you can have gluten it doesn't get terribly sick. But if you have too much gluten, he will is attention spam. Well will be not as good. So anyways my kids, you know had struggled with weight. And so that was a low blow when this harassing Message on Instagram came through and it's like they had tried to hit me and lowball me so hard and nothing worked. And so they went for the jugular and went for the kids and call them fat and that was terrible that was unacceptable. And at that point I took legal action with Instagram and decided to find out you know, who the IP was from and that's still that's still in the works. But we know we found out you know, where the IP what city what you know what IP Etc etc. And so after I took this measures and I spoke about it openly on my Instagram the Erasmus stop and would only start each time. I would attack diet or protein powder or you know, diet foods and specific things that would hurt someone in the diet industry or do diet industry. But the thing that these people forget is that I'm just this tiny little voice with a tiny little podcast with a tiny little following on Instagram, and I'm all the way I in Monaco writing my fucking gold unicorn so when Michelle came up with her story and you know, I heard it all and then I decide to bring on the podcast so fast, it was too much emotion flying and I have the recordings, but I think we're going to re-record because it was not going the way that I wanted to and let me explain podcasting for my audience is about giving my audience content that It gives them value brings value to them bringing drama and bringing, you know, my own shortcomings or my own issues is something that I do very often on the podcast when I have resolved when I have closure when I have a solution to offer and as we were going with the podcast first, I wanted Michelle to talk about her expertise and what she did today. As a registered dietitian, so she explained that she was more into the holistic aspect of it and all of that but we would keep on going back to to bullying and you know the victims of the diet industry and I didn't like the way that it was going. I was like, this is just going to bring down my audience like this is just going to show an aspect of evil that's out there. But what is it doing for my audience? What is it warning them of are we really going the way that you know? I want is it really my mission and it's not I'm not a journalist. I you know, I love the greater good but I want to stay in my lane. And this was not my Lane. So the recording was not going well either way because Michelle is lovely and I love a lot of parts of what we recorded and I will play some of them eventually we need to re-record so she'll be coming on the podcast we will record and it's That I don't want to give you the raw real story, but it's just it's not my platform. I don't want to be on this quest for drama and for negativity. I want to bring awareness. I want to be able to speak about things to my audience where they can go me too that happened to me too. And what can I do about it? And that podcast was not Going that way. So the recording was not going well because we kept on getting cut off. That's what I was getting to we got on get it cut off which never happens. I mean the provider on this podcast equipment and even regardless of the internet or whatever we use to to speak to someone in the United States. I mean, you've seen II had Lauren on I had Darin I had my friend Elena on we never get cut off like got kind of maybe once While I had I had kg MTL from Montreal it never went like that. Sometimes we'd have a little lag or whatever this kept on getting cut off and I was like, you know what? I'm not so fucking spiritual but I'm a little bit. I'm not religious at all. But I believe in something I believe in God and I love my religion. I'm just not, you know, not religious. But I am I guess I'm spiritual. I guess you could say that. I'm like this is you know, those are signs. This is not going right the mission is not good on this. And so Michelle can't untangle. Let's try again. Let's try again. And then she had to go. She has a busy schedule and I reflected and right away. I sent a message to my soundboard Dara capelin who's also as you know, I speak about her all the time. She's a very very successful but also very Mart publicist to New York City and she's also my very close friend my dear friend. She's been there for me for amazing professional decisions that I've had to make. She's given me the best advice sometimes not what I wanted to hear but I always listen to her and I said to her I don't like the way the podcast is going. This is not my mission. I am not in the business of being a whistleblower. I am doing well. I don't need to I don't need to pull down anyone that is not even in my industry because I don't consider myself in the same Lane as people in the diet industry and at the end of the day, I've helped people recovering from their diet suffering. So people that have heard their guts or lost their hair dieting or lost a little bit of self-confidence dieting. Or lost a period of help them when they come to me, but it's not for me to fight a battle. If they don't want to speak up for whatever reason I have to tell you. I feel like a lot of them are suffering from you know, some type of Stockholm syndrome of sorts where so if you know anything about that syndrome and I didn't this doesn't come for me. I think I think Michelle used the word and she's very accurate. I It it's in some of my clients not all of them that that came from dieting this sort of affection and dependency on their capture now. I don't want to portray anyone that was dieting as a victim. I don't like that and I don't agree with calling them victims, but it is true that there was some sort of Attachment and perhaps also Heidel ization of you know the diet Guru or she's being part of something. I think also being part of a family and all of the sudden because you don't want to abide by the rules that made you so sick and I'm not saying it's making everyone sick. It's working wonders for a lot of people that some diets are working a great deal for people that you know, suffer from cholesterol or people they've been obese or whatever I'm talking about. Is the people that have come to me and yeah, there is, you know a little bit of that that syndrome in them, but it's not my job to speak up for them and I'll tell you why a lot of my audience here. Has dieted at some point but is not necessarily A rescued eggs Dieter. Some people said yeah, I tried dieting my whole life didn't work and then I started gravitating towards your French lifestyle. I like it. I was good before but I'm great now. I mean, you know, I'm not meaning by I'm not saying by any means that I'm thriving on, you know, business-wise on people that have suffered consequences. quest of dieting health-wise, but certainly many many people have had preconceived ideas and philosophies on eating and counting calories and you know carbs and macros and and they feeling relieved with my philosophy and it's working for them with a little bit of humor with a little bit of perspective on the French lifestyle which so many of you You migrate here in the summer and love and you know, so I realized that 90% of my consumers my audience. My followers My Tribe were not people that had suffered at the hands of a diet or a diet organization. And so what am I accomplishing for this audience bring negativity to them drama awareness a 1-800 number that you can call as a Lifeline hotline or whatever. I don't want to do that. And I said this to Darren she said after I said all my points and said this is why I don't want to do this. This is why the podcast with Michel is not going to our best potential. We don't sound like ourselves. We just sound like fucking Advocates rallying but rallying for who no one is picking up. I don't want to do that. I you know, I want to bring value and this doesn't really bring value. I want to bring Think closure. I always bring closure. Even when I speak of an issue that I've had whether it's a hater whether it's you know, Dylan story. I didn't bring on Dylan story until we had closure until we had success until he got is international Baccalaureate magna cum laude with honors and got accepted to law school. I would have not brought you a story when it was still a sob story because my job here my mission here is to bring closure. ER and alleviate pains and sufferings and you know, I guess things you're not so sure about So then I reached out to my shell and said Michelle. This is not us. This is not what you do this. And now what I do you have your story I have mine, but we're good. We're strong girls. We're not victims as a matter of fact. No one is a victim unless they speak up and I think you should come on the podcast and be your expert self and bring something to my audience and maybe I can bring something to your audience with our expertise. And yeah at the end of the day we can speak up a little bit on the workplace in Registered dietitian world that people that feel like they've been you know bullied and this been pushed to have an eating disorder or feel like inadequate if they don't follow a program. They should know that some of the professionals on the other side have suffered the same fate and they are professionals that they can really to that understand that and can still work with them as registered dietitians without promoting a diet with the word diet. In it and she agreed with me and she said you're right. Maybe we were both too emotional to ecstatic to have found each other. You're right. And so we've decided to re-record and this is what brought me to doing this solo because I first I announced I would bring her on and then I decided that that episode was not going to happen until or unless I could bring resolve and unless it was really me and I have to credit not only Dara. My sound board, but I have to credit my friend and client Trish who watched the whole thing unfold and said this is not You Ingrid think twice this is not you. This is not what you do and I totally agreed with her. She sent me a long long time EXT telling me everything that was going well for me and how many people I'm helping her included and how the people that I'm helping. Her included didn't necessarily to hear about this. Shit, and she's absolutely right. And so you don't need to hear about this shit and the only issue with that is that Ted? Thought I was going to do it at the same time that I decided not to and I announced it. I actually posted on Instagram and said Michelle was going to come on the podcast but I didn't like the directions it was the direction it was going in I want to do something that has more value. I want to do something that's more beneficial healthier mentally. Physically interject energetically, you know Good Vibes only and lately my Copy Cow hater / Ted now called Ted hasn't bothered me. She hasn't even copied me lately. It's like she got the message. I went ahead on so much with her that she's finally got the message. So why should I even you know, start bringing her industry down and you know the secrets of that industry. Then it came to my attention at the same time from another client said, you know, it's not just a diet world this this trainer in New York City that takes you out to lunch and when she feels like you've eaten enough lunch of that lunch. She throws a cup of water in it and says you're done eating and I was like what she goes. Yeah. She's a trainer she trains people to very famous. She has some celebrities and Personalities in New York and she gave give me your name. She said you see and then she said this is water is an endocrinologist or something. He likes skinny. So, you know what he does. He gives his patients that he feels her little fat. I diabetes shot like a good for diabetics and to get them to lose weight. So this actually brought me to the realization that yeah diet can be very evil diet organizations can be Cutthroat and horrible and ethically wrong and you can report them if you feel that. Ben, you know mishandled by one of those but it happens in Fitness and it happens in the medical field as well. So who am I to be this sort of whistleblower? That's not what I do. I don't have time for this shit. So it's not going to happen. And so Ted didn't know that I was backing out and I'm calling her Ted because that's what she signed her email and that same night that she thought I was going to release the podcast. She Sent me this hateful your diet as a subject which is very funny because I don't have a diet as you know, saying whore go fuck yourself. And of course it became this whole kind of yeah, I'm a whore. I'm a whore for French macaroons and I'm a whore for bread and pasta and everybody joined in and said, yeah, I'm a whore I'm simply kneeling or and it just became this fun and beautiful uplifting supporting and you know, we're all in it together this whole a man-whore I'm a whore like from all of you made me think of that scene in Sex and the City where Samantha has cancer and she throws her wig in the air as she's giving a speech and all of the women in the audience who are cancer survivors or suffers through their wigs in the air and that was insane and that's exactly what you guys made me feel like when I said, yeah Ted called me a whore Ted my hater my copy cow that you know diet industry tie and who felt threatened by whatever I had coming for her. She thought Called me a whore but yeah, I'm a whore for Pastime a whore for so much so much good stuff in life, but I'm definitely not a whore to diet Nora slave to diet and everybody kind of went me too. Me too. It really reminded me of that scene in Sex in the City, but that's the story. I'm not going to elaborate anymore on this what I can tell you is that diet can hurt. But you can also leave and your body has an incredible ability to recover all of my clients and not just paying clients. I should say all of my tribe members all of my followers that have followed a little bit of my philosophy and many of them consume simply Newland. Some of them didn't because they are allergic to Ragweed for example, or they have FODMAP intolerance and if Are allergic to Ragweed to have full map intolerance. You can have simply Newland, but you can still you can still reap the benefits of my philosophy and the content I put out there and many of them did and some of them got ashwagandha and Maca like I recommend some of them went on v-tex, which is also an incredible herb if you've lost your period and just eating real food in going back to you know, real healthy fat and not being afraid of carbs recovery is out there for you if you Suffered the wrath of dieting and maybe dieting has worked for you. But you feel like it's not a life you want to live anymore, but you're certainly not a victim of diet or sufferer of diet, but the body the bottom line is the body is amazing and can recover and if you've if you're not listening to me, unless you're a hater just trying to spy on the shit. I'm going to say if you here listening to me. This might be your path out of diet. Um, or certainly to Chic French life if anything, or you can be dieting and still applying some of my fundamentals. I don't, you know, I'm definitely not in the diet world, and I don't see myself as being in that lane or a competitor for that matter. I'm like totally other world and like any other world. I think you can still pay the to if you choose to be a Dieter if you need to be or if you A health condition that compels you to follow a certain diet. It certainly doesn't make you following me or my philosophy or having simply inulin incompatible. But whatever the case may be. The body can recover. It's just a question of letting your mind recover. I hope soulmate sense and I hope this was a beneficial content. I hope that this closure in this and that you understand where I'm coming from. So I will bring Michelle Shapiro on the podcast but not for the original. goal, and not for the I don't even know what the goal was because you know, I definitely don't want anything negative or anything like that, but maybe to bring her expertise and her soft approach to being a dietitian being a registered dietitian and I will how you can benefit from seeing a registered dietitian without certainly looking for diets and restrictions and being part of a tribe and you know feeling Someone's ego or your own we're definitely going to find a great way to re-record original podcast. So it can bring you value. It can bring you Solace positivity and most importantly Health self-confidence women supporting women women supporting women supporting women supporting women and none of that other fiction it I hope you enjoyed this podcast.
