Hello and welcome to pardon my French episode 16. I am angry de la marck any and I am your host as always live from Monaco today. We are talking about mental health and how it is correlated with your gut. I've been speaking to you so much about Good Health, but I've also been speaking to you so much about cortisol levels. You guys are such smart cookies you've made the correlation and you've been asking me could my stress. Yes, and my anxiety be the reason I'm gaining weight. Yes. I know the reason why I'm saying this is now that you've been so educated on cortisol levels you are thinking that your anxiety is responsible for your weight gain and you are right, but there is more to it behind that when I explain cortisol levels being high and possibly causing insulin resistance and gain and weight gain. I also explained that some of That stress that course, it causes cortisol levels to go up can come from digestive issues. Now you need to know that a lot of the issues health issues. You may be experiences experiencing come from your gut. That being said, let's talk about Insanity insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. And so I feel exactly the same way about dieting insanity is dieting over and over and expecting different results. I repeat insanity is dieting over and over and expecting different results. Now those that are offer dieting will say now you keep trying a different diet, but it's still dieting. What is dieting except for the fact that diet has the word die in it. Let's put that aside dieting. It's still a regimen. It's a program that is regulated by Relations and rules whether the program deems himself non-restrictive non prohibitive. It is still a diet. It is still a program. You must abide by you must follow a set of rules often. You must follow certain steps. And if you fail online, you need to go back to the previous which is deemed a regression that is restrictive no matter what So whether you're trying a diet from this Guru or from doctor at the end of the day, you're spending a lot of your life dieting and dieting and expecting different results. You may get some results but usually they are only temporary results therefore short amount of time only for a limited time only. Well, let me tell you a limited time only is for great bargains and self and there's no such thing as Bargains and cells when it comes to your health. Your health is full price. Does that make sense? Listening to your gut may actually be the key to your mental health and your cure for anxiety depression lack of sleep. And of course ultimately to weight loss, you know that about weight loss but we've never actually spoken about anxiety depression brain fog this or all realities of your life and often you overlook them or you agree to deal with them if in return you get a skinny body. Wow, let me tell you that is not the type of skinny body that you want. I've been referring to some skinny bodies Rel thin bodies as unhappy bodies or overly inflated bodies that look like they're enduring a hormonal imbalances. Or obesity as unhappy bodies, but lately I've been referring to both those kinds of those kind of bodies as unhappy bodies to me that is a sign of an unhealthy gut and most of the time whether the person is enduring the cost of being so skinny by dealing with depression anger anxiety being tired. Lacking sleep or the person dealing with weight gain stubborn weight gain and hard to lose weight or obesity or simply feeling like you're not yourself and dealing with also the drawbacks of this condition whether lack of sleep feeling extremely tired not feeling very a lot of energy and feeling a little bit lethargic. Eric Both these individuals have unhappy-looking bodies Darrell thin person when you look at her, you know, this person is not healthy. You may crave her skinniness because it looked great in skinny jeans or does it but you certainly don't crave or ugly face that looks so tired and worn out from not eating much or from restricting herself from eating certain things. So she may be eating a lot of the diet food. She's allowed to eat, even though some of those foods are real food or real vegetables or even fiber or even protein but somewhere there's a restriction there and the same goes for the person that battling weight gain, especially if it's hormonal weight gain this person looks like she has an unhappy God because she's pretty much now spending her time satisfying hormonal cravings and Having an intake an unhealthy intake of sugars and carbs that are disrupting her sleeves that are disrupting or energy her brain Clarity. So either way these two kinds of unhappy-looking bodies are a sign of not a healthy gut of an unhealthy gut. So how does the gut brain axis affect your mental health and how does in return your mental health Boomerang back on your cortisol levels and causes you to either gain the weight back after you become super skinny from your diet or Have stubborn midsection fat storage that you have been unable to lose whether you're one of these people or the other. Does that make sense? So I want you to get familiar with the word the expression gut brain access to good brain axis is the conduit From the gut to the brain and the brain and the Brain to the God and how it's correlated. I'll tell you how I figured this out. I'm not a doctor. I am a fitness professional. I have a body strategies. So my job is to find strategies to push the right buttons in your body and to trigger your body to give you the results that you don't need and want But in doing so being healthy, of course, I've noticed this with my son Dylan. If you've been listening to my podcast, you know that Dylan was now 19 and completely fine and going to law school in the UK. Yes humble brag. Well not so humble was once diagnosed with being on the spectrum of autism. He's being cured stood since through therapy is never medication and part of is sure was a change in his diet and I had to time Dillon Zinn. Teen so we're going back early 2000 his doctor that was treating him said we need to change his diet and mind you I was about 23 years old when this happened I could not understand. How is this doctor telling me that my son's brain and cognitive functions were not working out. We're not working normally and that changing his diet was going to do something. It's a very hard thing to understand when your 23 years old at the beginning of the year 2000 and it took a while for for me to process that and to actually accept to do this because that meant taking gluten out and is case kids with auditory processing disorders or or kids with autism or Asperger's or being on the spectrum of autism have a certain aversion to gluten and to some other Products like dairy products or soy they actually get get literally less functioning when they consume those products. So at the time his doctor said to me and if you go back to the episode with Dylan, he's on episode. I can't remember what number episode is on but he came on to speak about this and speak. About his life and our lives, but we spoke about it. We spoke about the fact that we had to go gluten-free and at the time, you know, I was 23 years old gluten-free was not a trend you did not find gluten-free anything at the supermarket as a matter of fact, it wasn't even called gluten free at the time. It was just called wheat free and some green free so You know, it was quite difficult for me to understand how food and digestion of food would affect my son and you know release him from brain fog if he didn't consume soy or if you didn't consume gluten or dairy, but the truth of the matter is it was such a young age for me to accept it. So I started to accept it when I did not listen to the doctor at first and doctors fucking out of his mind. What is he saying? I mean my son needs, you know brain brain gymnastics brain therapy. He needs occupational therapy means those at Physical Therapy, but it fucking doesn't need to not be eating certain things bad enough. We're dealing with all this shit already the fact that he's not being considered normal by Society the fact that he's acting awkward the fact that was worried on top of it. I'm going to tell you you can't have pizza or pasta. Are they fucking kidding me? Well Dylan didn't do too well for the following months after the doctor said this to me and then I said, you know, I have to try and so I started to find ways of feeding him alternatives to gluten at the time. That was very difficult because there was nothing nothing under market so I had to get crafty and so as soon as I It removing gluten from his diet. As soon as I started removing Dairy from his diet, as soon as I made sure that there was no soy content in any other cookies and processed food that you would be eating. I saw a change I saw a change I saw that my son was paying more attention is attention deficit like his attention span span became so much better. And that was miraculous. I was like, maybe it's a coincidence. You know, I thought point when you're so young and your child is diagnosed with something like that. You you go into denial of a lot of things that the doctors are telling you and part of that. Denial did me a lot of good because I refused A lot of the diagnosis that you know, I was given on Dylan and literally diagnosis that were telling me to give up on my son never being normal or functioning normally as a highly functioning adult, but part of that was also experimenting by now. Listening to doctors where I should have listened and you know, the brain to get access thing is definitely something I was not open to yet. I was way too young and there was so little spoken about the gut back then I mean, you know, we were talking about diets. Yes, we're talking about Jenny Craig. We were talking about slim fast at the time. You never spoke about gut health really my mom spoke a lot about fiber each time your stomach my stomach hurt my grandmother who is Is from Morocco would make kefir for me and give me kaffir. So at the time we didn't give it the name of probiotic. I just remember she gave me this very sour yogurt and made me stood there until I drank it all up and an hour later automatically. My stomach pain would go away and my digestion will get better. But we you know, we didn't call that stuff got health and microbiome and we didn't call any of that probiotics prebiotics. My mother used to make this black bread which we call fiber today, which is very similar to the G crackers. Only more delicious. Each time one of us would be constipated and like once a week she would be like, hey, you know, I'm going to make my black bread, but we didn't give names like that. I didn't know any of this so long story short to go back to Dillon. ISO results from altering is dietary habits, but I didn't Thought it might be a coincidence. So then I started to give him Pizza and Pasta again. And then again, you would regress in his attention span span. You would regress in his kind of like Behavior become more absent look like it was more foggy look like you had a little bit more anxiety and was less of a happy boy. And so the second time around I was like, I'm not taking any more chances food is definitely affecting this kid food is definitely changing how this Kid, this kid's brain is reacting and so between the age of 23 and 24 years old. I realized that brain function and gut function where correlated but it's only now that I'm deciding to really talk about it as much because I realize that it applies to all of us not just to children. With learning disabilities not not just with children with auditory processing disorders or any kind of processing disorders. It affects us too. And the more I get messages from my wonderful tribe from my audience saying I feel this and Dot and I'm eating this in that two more I'm able to make the correlation and so between all the That I've researched the science that have been slapped in the face with with my son's journey to becoming a normally highly functioning adult and listening to you guys having an open ear and being inspired by your health journey and the fact that with an open mind you come and listen to what I have to say. I realized that we as Wellness professionals Wellness expert have to stop telling you to do the same thing over and over again expecting different results. And so that's what I'm here to tell you. This is where I'm talking Insanity. We're driving ourselves crazy. It's like literally Going around in circles chasing one's tail to diet and to restrict the body when in fact fueling your gut. This is why I called inulin Gangster Chic fuel fueling your gut may be very well do wait you're to your brain and Away to your happiness. So the gut brain connection is one that you want to become aware of more than you. Ever been aware of counting carbs counting macros getting on the scale and weigh in yourself. Research says that controlling the bacterial population of the gastrointestinal tract may help improve symptoms of mental disorders. Now when I'm talking mental disorders, I'm talking brain fog like my son had attention deficit anxiety depression overall and happiness. It is huge because if you think about the fact that you get insulin resistance, which causes midsection fat stubborn fat storage from high stress levels. This is all coming into one full circle. So, what's the connection? The connection is the good and bad bacteria that populate the microbiome. Normally there's supposed to be a balance in favor of beneficial bacteria that helps prevent overgrowth of the bad bacteria that can harm your health, but Studies have shown that there's a potential harm associated with imbalance of the microbiome due to inflammation. Or lack of bacterial diversity any of which may be associated with overgrowth of unhealthy bacteria. This is where I came up with. Bringing in your land out in the open because I it I mean you have to listen to episode 12 about in your land. I'm not going to stop pitching it you guys know in your land does miracles for health. Yeah, the flat tummy was the original appeal but you've many of you have realized that you got your period back on track from it. You've got you premenopausal menopause symptoms in control. You've been feeling less hungry and thus less anxious. So that being said this all comes together when you realize that it's to bacterial imbalance in your gut that's causing issues in the first place and that in your lane comes into play. So now without even coming on here to pitch my own products. This is how simply kefir came along and it's coming along and is launching this week. Simply kaffir. Came out of a need it came out of a need from all of you. It was like I got so many messages saying great in only works, but I'm still having a version to certain foods. I'm still feeling allergic to certain food or I have FODMAP. I cannot have in Ulan. Oh my question for these people was why do you have food map? Why do you have Candida? What is wrong with your gut very often? We're in Ulan could not come into play for those people. The answer was you need a probiotic. And so what happens probiotic some professionals our diet. Gurus will tell you yeah, kombucha bullshit the kibosh on the market is full of fucking shit. The alcohol levels of Kombucha is very high. It's Really reminding me of Hutch Hutch has to drink the clandestine drink that the Black Mama's that I was in prison with would make to get wasted on and that was of course, you know not allowed. It's what you call Contraband, but that's what kombucha is. They mixed up a bunch of fruits and fermented until it became like a strong alcohol and you guys are going to buy this as a health benefit drink. Are you kidding me? You guys are drinking Hooch literally, there is no way so then some Specialists will tell you what then have kimchi. Well that's bad too or have me so it's fermented. Well, that's Looking great for someone who's in estrogen dominance. Miso is soy so what the fuck gives I've been telling you to have kefir and fermented raw Cheese's but my audience I realized is in Canada in America. So North America lot of you and you having a hard time getting your hands on fermented. She's and raw Cheese's and even kefir or labneh Lebanon the Lebanese yogurt. Or if you were able to get your hands on that well shit, you're lactose intolerant and I would tell you even if you like to was intolerant. You can have fermented cheese because this literally no lactose left in fermented. She's unlike unfermented cheese. So then there's the vegan that comes into plans as well. No, I still have not going to have lactose. So what do I do for a probiotic? Well it sauerkraut bitch because everybody knows you can eat sauerkraut breakfast lunch and dinner barf. Sorry. It's just it makes no sense that we have so little at our fingertips to feed our bacteria got bacteria and you need the probiotic and I realized that as much as in New Orleans been amazing for all of you to microbiome is probiotic and Prebiotic and this balance. I had to come into place. So we do Newland now, we're balancing so much and yet There is still a large somewhere for some of you and so that's where I came up with simply kefir grains, which we call Lou champignon lactea. You heard. Well, it translates champagne latte. The reason for that is because kefir originally when it's homemade the way my grandmother used to make it for me when my stomach would hurt is it comes up like a milk that's a little bit fizzy and that's where it's fermented. So it's a little bit fizzy so they called it leave it to the French to give it. The fucking glamorous name champignon lacked a champagne latte. However, the one I came up with is a kaffir green a water kefir grain. So they're pure organic water kefir grains and with with vegetable vegetable milk. So, you know plant-based milk, you can make a lactose-free pure probiotic kefir. So that's how this all came through. And this is what's launching this week and I truly hope that it's going to be the game changer that it should be as much for your weight loss as especially for your gut health I even hope for it and I've seen some success with some of my clients that have been consuming. Kefir before I brought it on the market just now I've seen success with clients. I've seen it even get rid of some food. Oh jeez for people because you have to realize you're not born with a food allergy you're born with a completely balanced gut and throughout time and the way you've been treating your gut even as a child. The food allergy comes along as your microbiome becomes imbalanced. So what the probiotics and prebiotics to Simply inulin simply give fear would do its kind of balance it out again and hopefully get rid of your food allergies and hopefully get rid of your resistance to weight loss regardless of all of your efforts to lose weight, whether it's through exercise or through eating healthy and even going through diet. Actions some of you don't even get results for that from that. And the reason for that is that you're not looking in the right place. You need to be looking in your gut. The same goes for being very tired having brain fog losing energy at times of the days where you're supposed to be very energetic like in the morning. It's all in your gut having skin issues like hives and examine how it's your gut. Midsection stubborn way it's your gut. So you're going to say well Ingrid a few episodes back. You said it's cortisol levels. Well, guess what the highest amount of stress you can put your cortisol levels through is digestive issues. And if you go back to those episodes I say it and it comes full circle. Feeling depressed for no reason, obviously if you're, you know, a loved one passed away and you feel depressed that's completely normal. And that doesn't come from your gut, but if everything is kind of okay in your life, and you're supposed to be happy and you feel anxiety and you're unhappy Often you will blame that on your hormones. But if you listen to some of my previous episodes including hormone have episode I can remember the number of it's called hormones. You will know that part of that hormonal Behavior what you deem as being hormonal comes from your gut. It's all connected. It's even been proven that mental health issues like bipolar disorder schizophrenia and other psychological or neurological problems, including of course depression and anxiety may also be associated with alternation in the microbiome. So got issues these researchers that even said that disruption to the normal healthful balance of the bacteria and the microbiome can Was the immune system to overreact and contribute to inflammation in the GI tract in turn leading to development of symptoms of diseases that occur not only throughout your body but also in your brain, so a lot of brain illnesses or issues or developmental delays. Are probably starting in your gut? So imagine if we can say that your body is affected by your mood. Let's say you're an emotional eater you eat emotion emotionally people say, oh I cheated on my diet. I ate emotionally and they thought it was their emotions. You're not eating really with your emotions you eating with the balance in your gut. Does that make sense? So what if instead of eating emotionally you could actually affect your emotions with your gut reverse psychology? So what can you do? To actually avoid this problems well to maintain or restore the health of your microbiome and support good health, whether it's mental health or weight loss or preventing hormonal issues. It's maintaining a strong balance in favor of your good gut bacteria in your digestive tract. So the first step is of course to eat a well-balanced diet include foods with probiotics and prebiotics ingredients that support good gut bacteria Health restoring balance to your gut before you go on a diet. Let's say you say, oh I'm Married in three months. What diet do you recommend Ingrid? I get this all the time I go out before you go on a diet. Why don't you work on balancing your gut health so that your diet can actually work. I'm not saying all diets are bad. Some of them have very good foundations. The problem is that when dietitians nutritionists Health gurus diet. Gurus put you on those diets. They put you on the diets without asking you about your hormones about your cycle. Do you have any weird skin issues? Do you have hair loss. Do you feel depressed? Do you feel brain fog? No, they just fucking put you on the diet by my book and start my diet. Eat this and eat that that's bullshit. So if you are one of those people that's never going to let go of dieting. If you're listening to this podcast. It means you're ready for something new because you've been doing the same thing over and over and over again expecting different results. You're feeling insane by now. Well, welcome back sanity before you go back to dieting maybe get your body to be responsive to your diet. See, I'm not telling you stop dieting all together. So if you wanted those people that's not willing to stop dieting because diets your life. And what's her face supercool lady is a Dieter and a diagram and you want to follow her. Well great. But let me put my imprint on you before you do. Why don't you balance your gut health first so that your body can be responsive to your dieting efforts. How start for a change so if you're not ready for a complete change in mentality and you're not ready to hang up the phone on mrs. Diet that fucking bitch. Well, maybe meet me halfway if with a subtle change say to yourself. Let me balance my gut health with getting probiotic and Prebiotic from real food. You can supplement with some in your lane. But remember Prebiotic in your land is fantastic because at the end of the day when we get fiber from our veggies and are legumes nowadays, they are so treated and process. We don't really know if we really get the 16 gram of fiber that we think we get from that amount of string beans of our or artichokes. That's where inulin comes in it fills that gap of unknown of real fight. Intake that we think we're getting and the same would go for a probiotic. It becomes very complicated nowadays to have a probiotic out of the food. That's add our reach when it comes to fermented food. I mean short of miso or kombucha or some raw fermented cheeses and in the state, even when they tell you their own fermented yourself to kind of worried about them. Well, that's where simply kefir comes in the champagne like tape but try to get it from you real food to and then combined with a little something something like the simply gangster Chic products just to give you that extra push that extra sanity that you're actually balancing your gut. So you need to know though, let's talk probiotics. You don't just have to relate on simply kefir. Like I always tell you about simply in your land that is not the only source of fiber that you should rely on. You can get fiber from so many delicious food and God knows you see me cooking. So many of them you can get a probiotic from some plain yogurts like cottage cheese. Make sure you try and get One that is from a farmers market because the ones they sell you in the supermarket or certainly not probiotic. If you're in the United States fresh sauerkraut now, if you do not have estrogen dominance and you might want to listen to episode hormones. Yes like a whore. To define whether you do or not, you can have kimchi and you can have me so but if you do feel you have estrogen dominance and The Tell-Tale signs, you can recognize from the episode. I just referred to then stay away apple cider vinegar, but now again, there's some good to vinegar, but there's some other inflammation irritating aspects that I don't love. Now remember probiotics effects are destroyed when you're cooking or processing or preserving at a high temperature. So you want to make sure you get your probiotics Raw. Harvard Medical School actually published something saying that gut brain connection is not a joke get bring connection May contribute to your anxiety and digestion problems and vice versa your digestion problems May contribute to your anxiety and your anxiety may be causing your digestion problems. So this to say that digestion problems are often the cause for We gain or issues losing weight regardless of how much effort you put into losing weight. So for those of you that are all about honoring your intentions when it comes to dieting you are making this so much about the mind and so little about the body. Instead of saying I am going to honor my intentions By ignoring my body calling for carbs. Ask yourself instead of torturing yourself. Well, why is my body calling out for so many carbs? Rich food? You making it all about intentions journaling honoring intentions having cheat meals. You're forgetting the whole. Center of this The whole heart of this it all starts in your gut. And the way that you deal with it with your brain is causing you anxiety that anxiety is what's making it worst. This is not a joke. I agree with Harvard Health publishing medical school. I definitely agree with them. So you can link anxiety to stomach problems and vice versa. Have you ever had a gut-wrenching experience do certain situation make you feel nauseous? Have you ever felt butterflies in your stomach butterflies in your stomach? We all use this expressions. Well, the gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to emotions anger anxiety sadness excitement. All of these feelings can trigger symptoms in the gut to brain has a direct effect on your stomach and your intestines on your gut. I've often explain to you that this is why triggering the right sensors signals from your leptin hormone your saturation hormones. Your brain can actually cause you to be saturated before you even eat the very thought of eating. Can release the stomach juices before food gets there? So the connection goes both ways a troubled gut can send signals to the brain and a trouble brain can send signals to the gut. So a person's stomach or gut health issues can be the cause of anxiety. and the product of anxiety stress and depression can also B the cause for your gut health issues So God Health can be responsible for your anxiety and anxiety can be responsible for your gut health issues. Does that make sense? I hope so. Think about it. Sometimes when you feel stressed when something comes to your attention that upsets you. You feel nauseous. Some people will throw up. at getting an information bad news to know why that's because your brain and your gut are completely connected. That doesn't mean that the gut health issues are imagined in your head. That's not what I'm saying, but It goes both ways. So you need to understand that if you have anxiety for no reason if you feel Restless for no reason if you feel very tired, even though you've been sleeping. Or if you feel tired after eating. You bet that all of these feelings. All of these emotions you are feeling come from your gut. I will give you a few indication if you've been feeling stiff in your muscles, especially your neck and your shoulders if you have headaches sleeping problems tremors. Recent loss of interest in sex. Sorry weight loss or weight gain that is unexplicable and Rex restlessness. So those are the physical symptoms. If as far as your emotions you procrastinate a lot you grind teeth. You have a difficulty completing work assignments. So brain fog or having a hard time concentrating you feel a change in the amount of alcohol and food you consume. You've taken up something like smoking or you're smoking more than usual. If you're obsessed with exercise all of the sudden. It becomes almost like a drug if you have increased desire to be with people or increased desire to withdraw from others. If you're constantly thinking of stressful situations or dark thoughts. if your Crying a lot. If you're feeling an overwhelming sense of tension of pressure, if you have trouble relaxing, if you have nervousness a quick temper depression poor concentration trouble remembering things like you don't have your shit together and you don't know why if you're if you're often undecided. Then you need to realize that this might be a gut related issue. Now. Let's talk about the symptoms that are causing your gut. To be unhealthy and causing you all of these emotional and physical reactions. Do you have an upset stomach so stomach disturbance like gas bloating constipation diarrhea heartburn? Now make sure that you don't have gas and blowed from just starting in your lane because those are no more symptoms that you would have the first few days. So if you're not dealing with that new stuff in your life or in your dietary intake rather, but you have stomach disturbance. That could be signs of an unhealthy gut a balanced gut will have less difficulty processing food and eliminating waste so in upset stomach heartburn diarrhea constipation. That might be you know, a sign of your gut not being balanced a high sugar diet. So you're on a diet and a lot of the diets today recommend foods that are processed food. So for example, I stopped using it do pb2 powder. It's a very processed food and they tell you oh, it's so low in carbs, but it's very process. That's unhealthy. Foods that have Stevia and Truvia all these processed food will decrease the amount of good gut bacteria. Of good bacteria in your gut. So if you are on a diet and they're recommending that you have a lot of processed food. And powders and protein powders and meal replacements and this and that powder or you know milk to the process like plant-based milk and all of that shit that they recommend on lot of diets. Those are actually decreasing the amount of good bacteria in your gut and the imbalance it causes will cause increased sugar Cravings. So that damages your guy even further high amounts of refined sugars will also increase inflammation in the body. And inflammation in the body can cause a hormonal inflammation. And brain fog and anxiety believe it or not. If you have an unintentional weight change very often, you'll see while I'm having something horrible happening. I mean premenopause and menopause I you know didn't get my period this month, but you need to get a little bit further on that. So think about why are you gaining or losing weight without making changes to your diet or exercise habits that may be a sign of an unhealthy gut An unbalanced gut can impair your body's ability to absorb nutrients regulate your blood sugar and store fat so weight loss for example can be caused by your small intestine bacterial overgrowth sibo. A lot of people told me they have sibo. You need it to remedy to that don't just say I'm diagnosed with sibo. I can't have this in that as IBO. No, you need to really go and find balance in a in your microbiome. So while weight gain may be caused by insulin resistance or the urge to overeat due to decreased nutrient absorption that were dyed comes in a lot of your diets because of the processed food. They telling you to have any time this is great. You can have so much of whatever you want. That's fucking bullshit looking to quantity to quantify on food intake while you're on a diet. Is probably what's going to cause your gut to be imbalanced. Constant fatigue and sleep disturbance and brain frogs. That's an unhealthy gut right there. Insomnia and poor sleep. Chronic fatigue from it. That is an unhealthy gut. To majority of the body's serotonin, which is a hormone that affects your mood and sleep is produced in the gut. So if you having those issues, you can look at your gut health right away. Got damaged can impair your ability to sleep. Well, some sleep disturbance have also been linked to a risk of febrile male Gia. I'll explain that another time if you have skin irritations. Or subcutaneous irritations like you feel like the pimples are under your skin. That's usually an inflammation in the gut and that's definitely caused by a poor diet or food allergies. You know food allergies actually cause increase of leaking of certain proteins out into the body. So that turns into an irritation of the skin and causes conditions like eczema or Ives So if you have those things instead of taking food out of your diet this lot of people say, well I have hives so I have candida or I've got eczema. So I'm allergic to this and not the fact that you are allergic to certain food doesn't mean you're just allergic to certain food. It means that your microbiome is unhealthy unbalanced your gut health. is unbalanced don't just accept facts, like having food allergies and intolerances wonder why you are intolerant. We were all brought into this world tolerant to everything having a food allergy in many cases. They are huge exceptions, like people that are allergic to nuts. But in many cases means that your gut is not healthy and that you need to balance your microbial. Prebiotic probiotic right there don't go by probiotic probiotics right away Google. What food is a probiotic? What food is a Prebiotic? And how much of it can I have every day? Then if you feel you can't have much of one or the other supplement it with a pure one. Don't go get protein powders with way in it because it has fiber. Don't go get probiotics with trillions and zillions of live whatever that's bullshit food intolerances are the results of difficulty digesting certain foods. That's different than allergies allergies can be caused also by an immune system reaction to certain food, but the intolerances are caused by poor quality of bacteria in your gut So very often when you're intolerant to certain things it's because your gut is unhealthy not just because you're intolerant. Having difficulty digesting some foods comes with symptoms like getting bloated gas diarrhea abdominal pain nausea. There is a lot of evidence that certain food allergies are also related to God health. I have had a client who started having inulin that was great, but she was still very allergic to certain food including eggs, which is unnatural in a way to be allergic to eggs. And then we added kefir and lovely to her diet. She started to have a deal. Even though she really didn't like me either she wasn't big on lactose. And so she was afraid of having them even though I explain that fermented. She's have technically no lactose, but within four weeks she was able to start eating eggs again. That to me is the magic of good health. so 7 Things that you can do for your gut health lower your stress levels Eat slowly I tell you this all the time look for daylight. Reduce the amount of stress that you feel in certain environments. So going to noisy places to eat. I always talk about that nor your cortisol levels that will ease up your digestion and then working on digesting your food the right way with lower your cortisol levels. You see how it's constantly connected and interconnected back and forth. It really slow chew your food eat your meals with people that really helps promote a full digestion and absorption of nutrients and it will reduce also your appetite. Once again the mental aspect of eating for pleasure with pleasure. Is definitely going to send the right signals to your neurological sensors. And so even before you start eating a full meal you will feel satisfied and saturated. have you probiotics prebiotics probiotics of course and realize that if you have some food intolerances that cause you know, shh rashes fatigue acid reflux. You should eliminate them until you can balance your gut with probiotic and Prebiotic foods and once you have try it again. Stop dieting change your diet mind to mind of loving your body from within. my mother always used to say No, no, don't barley talk show Elisa yet. Let's not mix. cleaning rags with embroidered napkins That's exactly how I feel about the gangster Chic French lifestyle that we live here and diet. Don't mix the two and don't mixer food either. You may have seen on your feeds and all over the place muffins taking over after we made our delicious tahini simply in your land brioches, but there's a huge distinction between the two the diet food. Whether the muffins whether the pancakes whether the breads are about substituting so you can eat more. Eating for a happy body. In a fucking gangster Chic way is about being satisfied with one Simply Chic delicious. Brioche. Remember in French less is always more. It's about loving. loving Is abundance restricting to to gain abundance makes no sense? Change your mindset. in that way so Food there are good for your gut are going to be foods are good for your gut are going to be good for your brain brain fog anxiety depression restlessness Laxus lack of sleep all can start from the gut eat high fiber foods legumes beans peas Oats oatmeal is amazing. I hate when people tell you that oatmeal is not healthy. It's amazing bananas berries asparagus leeks. Artichoke obviously in Ulan are in your Lindsay playing yelling is artichoke route that will definitely help garlic and onion. They have immune system enhancing properties. I cook with a lot of garlic I cook with onion. I put red onion in my salad the crunchy, you know side of it helps you really reap the benefits of the immune system properties. And it really is good for your brain for your gut functions and ultimately for your brain. Fermented food. So remember you can have Tempe and miss. So if you are not in estrogen dominance who want to check that first, if you are an estrogen dominance to stay away do not have combat. Shh unless you're making a sort of combat. Shh at home the bottle of Kombucha are full of shit. They are like the hood, which that Inmates making jail that I've seen them making jail bill. But you have to realize that the quality of the probiotic fermented foods that are sold it really varies. So you want to be careful you really want to be careful when it comes to probiotics fermented raw cheese go to the farmers market and look for that. Okay, so collagen boosting foods are good for you. But be careful with those collagen peptides they foolish it. So instead you could try boosting your own body's collagen production through food. There's a variety of food that will boost your collagen like mushrooms like good Dairy like certain Meats. instead of having collagen peptides or protect vital protein whatever that is all bullshit. It's full of shit. And there's actually nothing that prove that your body absorbs College in that way. You want to eat food that will boost your body's own collagen production when people ask me, how do you get this skin? I tell them I boost my collagen production from the food that I eat. Same goes for are growth. Eat sleep and be healthy so you can be happy. the human gut has turned out for me to be the center brain of the body and I found this out when I was 23 years old and I've been experimenting with that ever since first with my own child then with myself, especially when I moved to Europe from the United States, I felt a huge difference and then with my clients. So a healthy gut remember will contribute to a strong immune system brain health definitely improve your mood. That's why I always tell you to not think of a diet mentality. This restrictive mind and mentality from diet makes you eat shit that does not concentrate at all on balancing your gut health your microbiome. Diets never address your gut health in the first place. If you want a diet or if you want a dietary change that you're bestowing on your body to work. First you need the computer to be operational and you need all of the keys of the computer to be operational. Stop from the gut. The body's beauty comes from within. follow your gut You always talk about eating emotionally. I agree that eating can bring on emotions. I agree. That eating can be an emotion Let It Be an emotion of Love fuck diet. The gut brain access is how to rethink having a happy body and by happy I mean healthy kind of skinny looking we off we really often. Agree that gut and neurological cause to effect does happen right? I ate emotionally because I was upset I had a long day. My children drove me crazy, so I benched. Why not use reverse psychology and stop insanity? Why not think of a happy gut a happy brain and a happy looking body? Now, you know what? I mean by happy if a bitch is skinny enough that all you want to do is treat her to a sandwich. She does not have a happy body. If someone is looking budgie, you look at him you go. They could look so good if they just exercise or Diet a little more, but maybe they do. maybe they just don't have a happy body and that means a happy balance got That's the whole point here. There's a reason that some skinny women are called skinny bitches does because he's so fucking Moody because of all the restrictions that they've been putting their body through Very often some very skinny women are fucking assholes. You know why it's because you don't fucking eat some people say that's because they don't get laid. I personally think that's because they don't eat and often is because they eat processed diet food that makes their gut so unhappy and it affects their brain functions. That makes sense. That's why they call them skinny bitches. You have to realize that a lot of the diet friendly foods are processed food and their abuse the gut so technically to get skinny. When you go on these diets, you're abusing your gut health. And so you're abusing your mental health. I hope that this episode helps you realize that more real food means less hunger. and using reverse psychology To stay the fuck away from the diet mind. It's not about how many diet muffins you can eat but rather remember how satisfied and happy you can be with one one just one gangster Chic simply real food. Brioche. It's really not even about making your mind believe that you don't want more food. It's about truly having a gut so balanced. That it sends to right signals fucking gangster Chic signals to your brain. That one was more than enough. When the gut is healthy and your microbiome is balanced. Your body doesn't crave anything. That's not good for it. And when your body doesn't create anything, that's not good for it your body looks as it should. We are all born to look thin. And have an appealing physical silhouette. The way our bodies go is not DNA. It's good health. So don't ever mix your emotions about eating if you look at eating as an emotion, let it be loved towards yourself. Don't ever mix loving your body from within with diet. How about trying this new mindset and finally get to different result? I hope you enjoyed this podcast if you want to work out with me.
