- 0:11that I am
- 0:12on this
- 0:12podcast,
- 0:13the first time

- 0:15sleep
- 0:15in the
- 0:15process
- 0:16of healing,
- 0:17the importance
- 0:17of sleep.
- 0:18And
- 0:18this time
- 0:19we're
- 0:19discussing
- 0:20digestion.
- 0:21Yay!
- 0:22That is
- 0:22such a
- 0:23great topic.
- 0:23so I loved
- 0:24our conversation
- 0:25last time
- 0:25on sleep
- 0:26and the
- 0:26role of
- 0:26recovery,
- 0:27so I'm
- 0:27excited
- 0:28to dive
- 0:28into
- 0:29digestion.
- 0:30why do we need
- 0:30to pay
- 0:31attention
- 0:31to
- 0:31digestion
- 0:32in the
- 0:32first place?
- 0:33What does it do
- 0:34and
- 0:34how is it
- 0:35going to
- 0:35effect us?
- 0:36digestion,
- 0:37just sleep,
- 0:38are these
- 0:39pillars
- 0:40on which
- 0:41our overall
- 0:42health
- 0:43and
- 0:43wellbeing
- 0:44stand
- 0:45in a way.
- 0:46Right.
- 0:46It's
- 0:47the main
- 0:47things
- 0:47that
- 0:48support us.
- 0:49with our
- 0:49intake
- 0:50of food,
- 0:51this is one
- 0:52of the ways
- 0:53in which
- 0:54we get
- 0:55our life
- 0:56force,
- 0:56the force
- 0:57that
- 0:57we need
- 0:58to live.
- 0:59Right.
- 0:59So the most
- 1:00direct way
- 1:01in which
- 1:02we get
- 1:02that life
- 1:03force is
- 1:03by
- 1:04breathing,
- 1:05right?
- 1:05So we
- 1:05breathe in,
- 1:06we get
- 1:06the oxygen
- 1:07that we
- 1:07need.
- 1:08And for
- 1:09food,
- 1:09we get it
- 1:10in a more
- 1:10indirect
- 1:11way because
- 1:12there is,
- 1:13the whole
- 1:13process
- 1:14of turning
- 1:14food into
- 1:15nutrients
- 1:16in the,
- 1:16form that
- 1:17we can
- 1:17use it.
- 1:17It's
- 1:18lengthier.
- 1:18Right?
- 1:18So that's
- 1:19why it's
- 1:19indirect.
- 1:20But
- 1:20nevertheless,
- 1:21breath
- 1:21and food
- 1:22are ways
- 1:23in which
- 1:24we get
- 1:25the energy
- 1:25we need
- 1:26to live.
- 1:27Right.
- 1:28So, when
- 1:29we're
- 1:29talking
- 1:29about
- 1:30digestion
- 1:31and
- 1:31especially
- 1:32digestion
- 1:33in the
- 1:33context of,
- 1:35recovery
- 1:36or healing
- 1:37in the
- 1:37healing
- 1:37process,
- 1:38and we're
- 1:39talking
- 1:39about this
- 1:40life force
- 1:40that we
- 1:41need
- 1:41to heal
- 1:42and to
- 1:43repair
- 1:44our body.
- 1:45Right.
- 1:45two things
- 1:46we can
- 1:46think
- 1:47about.
- 1:47So
- 1:47if our food
- 1:49is void
- 1:51of life
- 1:52force, so,
- 1:52for
- 1:53instance,
- 1:53if we're
- 1:54eating
- 1:54a lot of,
- 1:55bagged
- 1:56stuff,
- 1:56you know,
- 1:56really,
- 1:57hyper
- 1:58processed
- 1:58foods,
- 1:59which
- 1:59happen
- 2:00often, in
- 2:01our society
- 2:02nowadays,
- 2:02that food
- 2:03can be
- 2:04poor
- 2:04quality
- 2:05and not
- 2:05give us
- 2:06the energy
- 2:08that
- 2:08we need
- 2:09the quality
- 2:10of the life
- 2:10force
- 2:11that we
- 2:11need,
- 2:12and that
- 2:12our body
- 2:13can use.
- 2:13But
- 2:14we might
- 2:15also be
- 2:16eating,
- 2:17in a way
- 2:18that we
- 2:18think is
- 2:18super
- 2:19healthy
- 2:19and organic
- 2:21and fresh.
- 2:21But
- 2:22we might
- 2:22not be
- 2:23digesting
- 2:24that
- 2:24healthy
- 2:24food,
- 2:25which is
- 2:26not helpful
- 2:27either.
- 2:27Right.
- 2:28So it's
- 2:29these, two
- 2:30things
- 2:31that we can
- 2:31think about
- 2:32when we're
- 2:33trying to
- 2:33evaluate
- 2:34our
- 2:34digestion,
- 2:35is
- 2:35the quality
- 2:36of the food
- 2:37that we
- 2:37eat.
- 2:38And also
- 2:39whether
- 2:39what
- 2:40we eat,
- 2:41we can
- 2:41actually
- 2:42process
- 2:43and digest.
- 2:44Right.
- 2:44and so
- 2:45the more
- 2:46is going on
- 2:47with our
- 2:48body,
- 2:48especially
- 2:49in
- 2:49circumstances
- 2:51where,
- 2:51we are,
- 2:52recovering
- 2:53from an
- 2:54illness or
- 2:55our body
- 2:56is
- 2:56repairing,
- 2:57that is when
- 2:57we will
- 2:58want to pay
- 3:00even more
- 3:00attention
- 3:01to our
- 3:01digestion,
- 3:02because
- 3:02that life
- 3:03in eastern
- 3:04thought.
- 3:04There are
- 3:05different
- 3:05terms
- 3:06that
- 3:06describe
- 3:06that
- 3:06lifeforce.
- 3:07in ayurveda
- 3:08remember
- 3:08we talked
- 3:09about prana
- 3:10in Chinese
- 3:10medicine.
- 3:11They have
- 3:11another term
- 3:12for it.
- 3:13it's called
- 3:13chi in
- 3:14when we
- 3:15are
- 3:15healing,
- 3:15we need
- 3:16even more
- 3:17of
- 3:18that energy
- 3:19so
- 3:19that is why
- 3:21when we're
- 3:21healing,
- 3:22we want
- 3:22to pay
- 3:23special
- 3:23attention
- 3:24to our
- 3:24digestion.
- 3:25Because
- 3:25we want to
- 3:26make sure
- 3:27that we are
- 3:27really
- 3:28optimizing.
- 3:29We're
- 3:29getting the
- 3:30optimal
- 3:31nutrition
- 3:32that
- 3:32our body
- 3:33can use
- 3:34and repair.
- 3:34Right.
- 3:35And so
- 3:36very often,
- 3:37when I work
- 3:38with
- 3:38people,
- 3:38sometimes
- 3:39people,
- 3:40you know,
- 3:40they,
- 3:40they will
- 3:41say,
- 3:41I have
- 3:41always
- 3:42been
- 3:42bloated
- 3:43or
- 3:43I have always
- 3:45been
- 3:45constipated,
- 3:47you know,
- 3:47for, ten
- 3:48years,
- 3:48it's these
- 3:49very common
- 3:50digestive
- 3:51symptoms
- 3:52that we
- 3:53think of
- 3:53as benign.
- 3:55but
- 3:55they are
- 3:55actually
- 3:56indicators
- 3:57that we are
- 3:58not using.
- 4:00we're not
- 4:00we're
- 4:01not able
- 4:01to use
- 4:02what we
- 4:02consume.
- 4:03There
- 4:03is
- 4:03something
- 4:04that is off
- 4:05in the
- 4:05digestive
- 4:06process.
- 4:06Right?
- 4:07So that is
- 4:08our body's
- 4:08way of
- 4:09telling
- 4:09us, hey,
- 4:10either
- 4:10the food
- 4:11you're
- 4:11eating
- 4:12is not
- 4:12great
- 4:13or the way
- 4:14you're
- 4:14eating
- 4:15your food
- 4:15is not
- 4:16great,
- 4:16right?
- 4:17And we're
- 4:17not able
- 4:17to use
- 4:18what you're
- 4:18eating.
- 4:19That makes
- 4:19so much sense.
- 4:20So
- 4:21what would you
- 4:22recommend
- 4:23is, a
- 4:24beneficial diet?
- 4:26What should
- 4:26people be
- 4:27eating?
- 4:27that would
- 4:29really
- 4:30depend on
- 4:31a person.
- 4:32I
- 4:32rather it's
- 4:33by
- 4:33individuals.
- 4:34So it will
- 4:34look at
- 4:35the
- 4:35person's
- 4:36body type
- 4:37and also
- 4:37what
- 4:37they're
- 4:38going
- 4:38through
- 4:39right now.
- 4:39however,
- 4:40there are
- 4:41some
- 4:41general
- 4:42guidelines
- 4:43that I
- 4:44can say
- 4:45would work
- 4:46for,
- 4:46everyone.
- 4:47Right.
- 4:48So
- 4:48the first advice
- 4:50is eat
- 4:51more at
- 4:51home.
- 4:52eat
- 4:52more home
- 4:53cooked
- 4:53food.
- 4:54The more
- 4:55you eat
- 4:55at home,
- 4:56the healthier
- 4:57you will
- 4:58be.
- 4:58That's
- 4:59a general
- 4:59rule for
- 5:00everyone.
- 5:00And that's
- 5:01because
- 5:01when we
- 5:02make our
- 5:03own food,
- 5:04we know
- 5:05exactly
- 5:06what's in
- 5:06it, right?
- 5:07We know
- 5:07the ingredients,
- 5:08we know
- 5:09the
- 5:09freshness
- 5:10of the
- 5:10ingredients.
- 5:11We know
- 5:11where
- 5:12they come
- 5:12from.
- 5:13we, know
- 5:14the oils
- 5:14that
- 5:15we use.
- 5:15Because
- 5:16most of
- 5:16the time,
- 5:17restaurants,
- 5:18they will
- 5:19use the
- 5:19cheaper oils
- 5:20that can
- 5:21get rancid,
- 5:22and those
- 5:23that are
- 5:23really harmful.
- 5:25so that
- 5:25that's the
- 5:26first thing
- 5:27we know
- 5:27what is
- 5:29in
- 5:29that food.
- 5:30We
- 5:30also know
- 5:31in what
- 5:32energy
- 5:32the food
- 5:33was
- 5:33prepared.
- 5:34So
- 5:34energetics
- 5:35of food
- 5:35is
- 5:35another thing
- 5:36that
- 5:36ayurveda
- 5:37looks at.
- 5:37there is a difference
- 5:39in eating
- 5:41a meal
- 5:41that has
- 5:42been,
- 5:42prepared,
- 5:43in a
- 5:43loving way
- 5:45and
- 5:45in a very
- 5:46stressful
- 5:46environment,
- 5:47which most,
- 5:48restaurant
- 5:49kitchens
- 5:49actually
- 5:50are.
- 5:50I have
- 5:51a family
- 5:51member
- 5:52who was a chef
- 5:53and I know
- 5:54how much
- 5:55stress
- 5:55she experiences
- 5:56at work.
- 5:57it's not
- 5:58a happy
- 5:58place to be
- 5:59most of
- 6:00the time.
- 6:00I guess,
- 6:01you know,
- 6:01that will
- 6:02depend.
- 6:02But as a
- 6:03general
- 6:03rule,
- 6:03restaurant
- 6:04kitchens,
- 6:05stressful,
- 6:05stressful
- 6:06places.
- 6:07such
- 6:07an interesting
- 6:08take.
- 6:08I have never
- 6:09heard
- 6:09anybody
- 6:09talk about
- 6:10the energy
- 6:11that you
- 6:11prepare
- 6:11your food
- 6:12with,
- 6:12but
- 6:12it makes sense
- 6:12because
- 6:13we've
- 6:13always
- 6:13heard
- 6:13this
- 6:14was made
- 6:14with love.
- 6:14You know,
- 6:15grandma
- 6:15made
- 6:15it was love.
- 6:16So that is
- 6:17actually
- 6:17kind of
- 6:17fascinating.
- 6:18it's
- 6:19definitely,
- 6:19you know,
- 6:20an angle
- 6:21that,
- 6:22I think
- 6:22puts
- 6:23ayurveda
- 6:23apart from,
- 6:24the
- 6:25nutrition
- 6:25sciences
- 6:26which,
- 6:27might be
- 6:27more
- 6:28focused on,
- 6:28the substance
- 6:30of what
- 6:30you're
- 6:30eating,
- 6:31but
- 6:31they focus
- 6:32less on
- 6:33how you're
- 6:34eating it,
- 6:35how
- 6:35do you feel
- 6:36when you
- 6:36sit down
- 6:37to have
- 6:38your meal?
- 6:38do you
- 6:39even stop
- 6:40to check in
- 6:41with yourself
- 6:42when you
- 6:42sit down
- 6:42to eat
- 6:43your meal?
- 6:43Right.
- 6:44Are you
- 6:44sitting down
- 6:45and you're
- 6:46only eating,
- 6:47or are
- 6:47you also
- 6:49doing
- 6:49other things
- 6:50while
- 6:50you're
- 6:50eating,
- 6:51scrolling?
- 6:52Are you
- 6:52watching
- 6:52the news
- 6:53and getting
- 6:53stressed
- 6:54out about
- 6:55this or
- 6:55that?
- 6:55So
- 6:56the energetics of
- 6:57food is
- 6:58something
- 6:59that,
- 7:00I think
- 7:00more and
- 7:00more
- 7:01people,
- 7:01realize
- 7:03that it
- 7:04can make
- 7:04a
- 7:04difference.
- 7:05That's
- 7:05so
- 7:06interesting.
- 7:06I love
- 7:07that.
- 7:08we were,
- 7:08we were
- 7:08talking
- 7:09about,
- 7:10cooking
- 7:10at home.
- 7:11Right?
- 7:12another thing
- 7:12is, when
- 7:13we eat
- 7:13at home,
- 7:14I think
- 7:15we're
- 7:15much more
- 7:16to stick
- 7:17to our
- 7:18portions,
- 7:19right?
- 7:19Because
- 7:19there's
- 7:20less FOMO.
- 7:21There is
- 7:21less oh,
- 7:21I paid
- 7:22for this.
- 7:23have you
- 7:23ever
- 7:23observed
- 7:24people
- 7:24at dinner?
- 7:25All you can
- 7:26eat buffet?
- 7:26yes. You.
- 7:27We wouldn't
- 7:28do that
- 7:28at home.
- 7:29Right?
- 7:29But
- 7:29there's no
- 7:30I paid $20
- 7:32for my
- 7:32breakfast,
- 7:33so
- 7:33I need to
- 7:34get
- 7:34my money
- 7:35back,
- 7:35you know?
- 7:36Eat your
- 7:36money's
- 7:37worth.
- 7:37you know,
- 7:37I,
- 7:37I think
- 7:38it's a
- 7:38very human
- 7:39thing,
- 7:40to do,
- 7:41but
- 7:41if we do
- 7:42this on
- 7:43a more
- 7:43regular
- 7:43basis,
- 7:44people who
- 7:44travel
- 7:45a lot and,
- 7:45and they do
- 7:46have
- 7:46this type
- 7:47of
- 7:47breakfast
- 7:48very often,
- 7:49or,
- 7:49you know,
- 7:50if you have
- 7:51an all
- 7:51you can eat
- 7:52buffet
- 7:53lunch
- 7:53near
- 7:54your office
- 7:54and you go
- 7:55there
- 7:55often,
- 7:56just
- 7:56observing
- 7:57yourself,
- 7:58what,
- 7:58are you
- 7:58eating with
- 7:59your eyes
- 8:00or are you,
- 8:01Can you be
- 8:02discerning
- 8:02about
- 8:03what is
- 8:04appropriate,
- 8:04how much
- 8:05food is
- 8:05appropriate
- 8:06for you?
- 8:07it's
- 8:07very easy
- 8:08to measure,
- 8:09how much
- 8:09food
- 8:09our body
- 8:10can
- 8:10process.
- 8:11There's
- 8:11physiological
- 8:12ways to
- 8:13measure.
- 8:13So first
- 8:14you can,
- 8:15put
- 8:15your hands
- 8:16together,
- 8:16cup
- 8:16your hands
- 8:17together
- 8:17this.
- 8:18And what
- 8:18fits
- 8:19in here
- 8:20is
- 8:20pretty much
- 8:21your,
- 8:22portion.
- 8:23Right?
- 8:23Makes sense.
- 8:24Because
- 8:24when
- 8:24you have
- 8:24a toddler,
- 8:25they tell you
- 8:26the size of
- 8:26their fist
- 8:27is
- 8:27the size of
- 8:28their stomach.
- 8:28So
- 8:28when they
- 8:29graze
- 8:29all day,
- 8:30that's why
- 8:31you can't
- 8:31make them
- 8:31sit down
- 8:32and eat a
- 8:32big meal.
- 8:33It's
- 8:33the size
- 8:33of their fist.
- 8:34So
- 8:34that makes sense.
- 8:35And then
- 8:35another thing
- 8:36that
- 8:36you can
- 8:36watch out
- 8:37for, and
- 8:37this is
- 8:37really
- 8:38interesting
- 8:38because
- 8:39this, often
- 8:40comes
- 8:41as a
- 8:41surprise
- 8:42to people
- 8:42and I
- 8:43can assure
- 8:44that it
- 8:44really,
- 8:45happens.
- 8:46So when we
- 8:47chew our food
- 8:49and it
- 8:50goes into
- 8:50our
- 8:51stomach,
- 8:51when
- 8:52our stomach
- 8:53reaches its
- 8:54capacity,
- 8:55it will
- 8:56let us know
- 8:57by,
- 8:57emitting
- 8:58some a
- 8:58gentle
- 8:59passage
- 8:59of air,
- 9:00which is a
- 9:00very silent
- 9:01and
- 9:02discreet
- 9:02burp,
- 9:03which most
- 9:03people
- 9:04don't notice.
- 9:05But if you
- 9:06choose
- 9:06your food
- 9:07slowly,
- 9:08you'll be
- 9:08able to
- 9:09notice
- 9:10your stomach
- 9:10will do
- 9:11that
- 9:11when it's
- 9:12at
- 9:12capacity.
- 9:13At capacity
- 9:14doesn't
- 9:14mean it's
- 9:14full.
- 9:15It needs
- 9:15to leave
- 9:16some space,
- 9:18right?
- 9:18For some
- 9:18liquid
- 9:19and for
- 9:20also a
- 9:20little bit
- 9:21of air,
- 9:21just a
- 9:22washing
- 9:22machine.
- 9:23we would
- 9:23never
- 9:23stuff it
- 9:24to its
- 9:24full capacity
- 9:25because
- 9:25it would
- 9:26not watch
- 9:26the
- 9:27clothes.
- 9:27Well,
- 9:27right.
- 9:28So our
- 9:28stomach is
- 9:28the same.
- 9:29We need
- 9:29to leave
- 9:30some,
- 9:31empty space
- 9:32for
- 9:32digestion
- 9:33to happen
- 9:34right?
- 9:35That
- 9:35makes it so
- 9:36our
- 9:36stomachs
- 9:37can tell us
- 9:38that
- 9:39they're
- 9:39full by,
- 9:40you know,
- 9:41showing us
- 9:41this.
- 9:42very silent
- 9:43burp.
- 9:43And once
- 9:44you hear
- 9:44that,
- 9:44you can
- 9:45just put
- 9:45your.
- 9:46That's
- 9:46that.
- 9:46That's
- 9:47so
- 9:47interesting.
- 9:48To explore.
- 9:49You know,
- 9:49most
- 9:50people,
- 9:50who
- 9:50hear this
- 9:51for
- 9:51the first time,
- 9:52they say
- 9:53that
- 9:53that
- 9:53doesn't
- 9:53happen
- 9:54to them,
- 9:54but that's
- 9:55just
- 9:55because,
- 9:55you know,
- 9:56you don't
- 9:56have
- 9:57that awareness.
- 9:58But
- 9:58when I work
- 9:58with
- 9:59clients,
- 10:00most of
- 10:00the time
- 10:01people
- 10:01start to
- 10:02notice it.
- 10:03it's it's
- 10:03an
- 10:03interesting
- 10:04angle
- 10:05to explore.
- 10:06And also
- 10:06it forces
- 10:07you to eat
- 10:08more
- 10:08mindfully,
- 10:09right?
- 10:09Because
- 10:09you're
- 10:09looking
- 10:10for it.
- 10:10So you're
- 10:11chewing
- 10:12better,
- 10:12right?
- 10:13You chewing
- 10:14your food
- 10:14until it's
- 10:15liquid.
- 10:16And also
- 10:17you slow
- 10:18down.
- 10:18And so
- 10:19we're more
- 10:19able to
- 10:21feel when
- 10:21we're
- 10:22satiated
- 10:22as well
- 10:23when you
- 10:23eat slowly.
- 10:24So that's
- 10:24a great
- 10:25challenge
- 10:25for
- 10:25everyone
- 10:26watching
- 10:26or
- 10:26listening.
- 10:27is eat
- 10:28a little
- 10:28bit slower?
- 10:29Chew
- 10:29your food
- 10:30more
- 10:30thoroughly
- 10:30and see
- 10:31if you
- 10:31can realize
- 10:32when
- 10:33that air
- 10:33comes.
- 10:34That's
- 10:34great.
- 10:35It's it's
- 10:35super
- 10:36discreet.
- 10:36it's not
- 10:37other
- 10:37people
- 10:38will not
- 10:38be able
- 10:38to hear it.
- 10:39It's just a
- 10:40very
- 10:40discreet
- 10:40passage
- 10:41of air
- 10:41from your
- 10:42stomach.
- 10:42Interesting.
- 10:43So, What
- 10:44what about fasting.
- 10:46How does that
- 10:46play.
- 10:46And do you
- 10:47recommend
- 10:47that
- 10:47or not?
- 10:48from the
- 10:49ayurvedic
- 10:49cleanse,
- 10:50I
- 10:51definitely
- 10:51cannot
- 10:52recommend it
- 10:52for
- 10:53everyone as
- 10:54a general
- 10:54rule
- 10:55Especially
- 10:55for
- 10:55healing,
- 10:56because,
- 10:57there are
- 10:58some people
- 10:59for which
- 10:59this is not
- 11:00at all
- 11:00appropriate.
- 11:01For some
- 11:02it can be,
- 11:03as
- 11:04a general
- 11:05guideline
- 11:06for good
- 11:06digestion,
- 11:07what
- 11:08I can say
- 11:09is that,
- 11:10if we
- 11:11respect
- 11:12the natural
- 11:13daily
- 11:13rhythm,
- 11:14so
- 11:14eating at
- 11:14regular
- 11:15times
- 11:16every day
- 11:16and
- 11:17respecting
- 11:18the
- 11:18portions,
- 11:19the portion
- 11:19size right,
- 11:20we will go
- 11:21a long way.
- 11:22And if we
- 11:23stick
- 11:23to that
- 11:23daily
- 11:24rhythm.
- 11:24so our
- 11:25digestion
- 11:26capacity
- 11:26follows
- 11:27the rhythm
- 11:27of the sun.
- 11:28So as
- 11:29the sun
- 11:29is high
- 11:29in the sky
- 11:30at midday,
- 11:31that is
- 11:31when we can
- 11:33metabolize
- 11:34the most,
- 11:34we have
- 11:35the most
- 11:35digestive
- 11:36capacity,
- 11:36according
- 11:37to ayurveda
- 11:38So
- 11:38if you can
- 11:39plan to
- 11:40have,
- 11:40the most
- 11:41nutritious
- 11:42and, the
- 11:42heaviest
- 11:43meal of
- 11:43the day
- 11:44at lunch,
- 11:45breakfast
- 11:45can be
- 11:46lighter.
- 11:47And dinner
- 11:47also should
- 11:49be lighter
- 11:49because
- 11:50just as
- 11:51the sun
- 11:51sets in
- 11:51the evening,
- 11:52our
- 11:53capacity
- 11:53is also
- 11:54to digest.
- 11:55Food also
- 11:55reduces
- 11:56in the evening
- 11:57and this is
- 11:58very easy
- 11:58to observe
- 11:59first hand,
- 12:00if you ever
- 12:00were
- 12:01to have
- 12:01a heavy
- 12:02dinner
- 12:02at night,
- 12:03you will not
- 12:04digest it
- 12:05in the same.
- 12:05way so
- 12:06for
- 12:06most people,
- 12:07when they
- 12:08follow
- 12:09a daily
- 12:10rhythm,
- 12:10you know,
- 12:11in a way
- 12:11that is
- 12:11regular,
- 12:12give
- 12:13or take,
- 12:13maybe
- 12:14having one
- 12:14hour of,
- 12:15margin
- 12:16because,
- 12:16life
- 12:17happens.
- 12:17they will
- 12:18go, you
- 12:18know, that
- 12:19that will
- 12:19take them
- 12:20a long way
- 12:21to having
- 12:22better
- 12:22digestion,
- 12:23for sure.
- 12:23So, regular
- 12:24meal times.
- 12:25and also,
- 12:26you know,
- 12:27if
- 12:27you think
- 12:27about it,
- 12:28if you have
- 12:29a lighter
- 12:30dinner at
- 12:315 or 6,
- 12:33and
- 12:33then you
- 12:33have
- 12:33breakfast
- 12:34at eight,
- 12:36you already
- 12:36have a very
- 12:38good window
- 12:39where
- 12:39you are
- 12:40not eating
- 12:41right.
- 12:41So you
- 12:42are it's
- 12:43not
- 12:43fasting,
- 12:44but it's
- 12:45enough of
- 12:46a window
- 12:47for your
- 12:47digestive
- 12:48system
- 12:48to rest.
- 12:49Right?
- 12:49Sounds
- 12:49good.
- 12:50what
- 12:50ayurvedic
- 12:51does advice
- 12:52for most
- 12:53people
- 12:54is
- 12:54seasonal.
- 12:55So,
- 12:55mono diet.
- 12:56So during
- 12:58the
- 12:58seasonal
- 12:58juncture.
- 12:59So now
- 12:59we're
- 12:59coming up
- 13:00to fall
- 13:00in the
- 13:01northern
- 13:01hemisphere.
- 13:02so, in
- 13:02ayurvedic
- 13:03traditions,
- 13:04usually
- 13:04there
- 13:04will be
- 13:05a fall
- 13:05cleanse
- 13:06and also
- 13:07a spring
- 13:07cleanse.
- 13:08these
- 13:08experience
- 13:09they're
- 13:09not really
- 13:10fasting
- 13:11experiences,
- 13:11but they're
- 13:12mono diet
- 13:13experience.
- 13:13So it means
- 13:14that, first
- 13:15we we go
- 13:16about
- 13:16removing,
- 13:17you know,
- 13:17items
- 13:18that are
- 13:19in general
- 13:20unhelpful.
- 13:21such as,
- 13:21you know,
- 13:22refined
- 13:22sugar,
- 13:23caffeine,
- 13:24alcohol
- 13:25during
- 13:25this time.
- 13:26And then we
- 13:27lead
- 13:28our body
- 13:29into a
- 13:29mono diet.
- 13:30where
- 13:31we eat
- 13:31and very
- 13:32easily
- 13:33digestible,
- 13:34but and
- 13:34nutritious
- 13:35meal,
- 13:35for
- 13:36three days
- 13:36in a row,
- 13:37for
- 13:37example,
- 13:38because and
- 13:39we would
- 13:40have, this
- 13:41very strict
- 13:42rhythm
- 13:42of
- 13:43eating at
- 13:43three
- 13:44times,
- 13:44you know,
- 13:45the same
- 13:45thing,
- 13:46three times
- 13:46per day
- 13:47for three
- 13:47days.
- 13:48The reason
- 13:48why I
- 13:49rather uses
- 13:50a mono diet
- 13:51is because,
- 13:52having
- 13:52a regular
- 13:53intake
- 13:54at the
- 13:54same time,
- 13:55really,
- 13:56helps
- 13:56our body
- 13:57feel safe,
- 13:58it's
- 13:58receiving
- 13:59nutrients
- 14:00on a
- 14:00regular
- 14:00basis.
- 14:01So it kind
- 14:02of, doesn't
- 14:02need to
- 14:03think
- 14:03about it.
- 14:04What, you
- 14:04know, is
- 14:05food
- 14:05coming?
- 14:06Is it
- 14:06not coming?
- 14:07And then
- 14:07also it's
- 14:08the same
- 14:09food.
- 14:09So tends
- 14:10to be,
- 14:11ayurvedic
- 14:12mono diet
- 14:13tends to be
- 14:14that mung
- 14:15bean,
- 14:15which is
- 14:16the most,
- 14:17easily
- 14:17digestible
- 14:18that has the most nutrients.
- 14:20So it has
- 14:21this ratio
- 14:21of
- 14:22digestibility
- 14:23and
- 14:23nutrients
- 14:24that is
- 14:24very high.
- 14:25And then
- 14:26usually it
- 14:27will be
- 14:27rice, white
- 14:28rice,
- 14:29and
- 14:29vegetables.
- 14:30So
- 14:30we will be
- 14:30eating that
- 14:31for three
- 14:31days
- 14:32in a row.
- 14:32And that
- 14:34allows
- 14:34our body
- 14:35to, reset
- 14:37for the
- 14:37digestive
- 14:38apparatus
- 14:38to reset
- 14:39because
- 14:39it's
- 14:40receiving
- 14:40a regular
- 14:41meal
- 14:42that is
- 14:43very
- 14:43easily,
- 14:44processed
- 14:45and,
- 14:45you know,
- 14:46and it's
- 14:46the same,
- 14:47the
- 14:47same kind of
- 14:48meal
- 14:48that is coming.
- 14:49So
- 14:49it doesn't
- 14:50need to
- 14:50think
- 14:50about,
- 14:51how
- 14:51do I digest
- 14:52this?
- 14:52How
- 14:52do I that
- 14:52just this,
- 14:53you know,
- 14:53it's the
- 14:53same thing.
- 14:54So
- 14:55our body's
- 14:56okay,
- 14:56I know
- 14:56how to deal
- 14:57with this.
- 14:58I'm just
- 14:58doing it on
- 14:59autopilot
- 15:00smart.
- 15:00So that.
- 15:01So so
- 15:01that's,
- 15:02that's an
- 15:02ayurvedic
- 15:03practice
- 15:04that,
- 15:04happens
- 15:05twice
- 15:05a year,
- 15:06and then we
- 15:06come out
- 15:07of it
- 15:07adding
- 15:08slowly,
- 15:08you know,
- 15:09going back
- 15:09into our
- 15:10regular
- 15:10diet.
- 15:11Awesome.
- 15:11I actually
- 15:12do enjoy
- 15:13doing
- 15:13a cleanse
- 15:14from time
- 15:14to time,
- 15:14because I
- 15:15do think
- 15:15it kind of
- 15:15gives you
- 15:16that reset.
- 15:17I'll be
- 15:17I'll be
- 15:18planning
- 15:18one,
- 15:18next month
- 15:19so you can
- 15:19join.
- 15:20Awesome.
- 15:21Well,
- 15:21I'd love
- 15:21to hear
- 15:21how it
- 15:22goes.
- 15:22That's
- 15:23fantastic.
- 15:24so
- 15:24a question,
- 15:25what are the
- 15:26most
- 15:26impactful
- 15:27shifts
- 15:27that you
- 15:28can make
- 15:29to minimize
- 15:29digestive
- 15:30comfort?
- 15:31Any insight
- 15:32on that?
- 15:32So,
- 15:33we already
- 15:34spoke about
- 15:35eating
- 15:35at home
- 15:36as as
- 15:37many of
- 15:38your meals
- 15:39as you can,
- 15:40you know,
- 15:40so
- 15:41if you're
- 15:41I know
- 15:42many people
- 15:43don't enjoy
- 15:44cooking
- 15:45and many
- 15:45people
- 15:46haven't
- 15:46cooked
- 15:47for
- 15:47themselves
- 15:48in forever,
- 15:49right.
- 15:49That
- 15:49that is
- 15:50an issue.
- 15:51so I think
- 15:52that that
- 15:53is
- 15:53probably,
- 15:54the most
- 15:54impactful,
- 15:56shift

- 17:30a
- 17:30good meal?
- 17:31You know,
- 17:32it's real
- 17:32food.
- 17:33Definitely.
- 17:33Better
- 17:34than,
- 17:34getting
- 17:35takeout.
- 17:35Sure.
- 17:36absolutely.
- 17:37And so,
- 17:38then
- 17:38we also
- 17:39spoke
- 17:40about,
- 17:41respecting
- 17:42those
- 17:42hours.
- 17:43Right.
- 17:43So it's
- 17:44really,
- 17:44really
- 17:44important
- 17:45for the
- 17:45body,
- 17:46for
- 17:46the body
- 17:46to know
- 17:47that it's
- 17:48going to be
- 17:49receiving
- 17:49nourishment
- 17:50at the
- 17:51same time
- 17:51or less
- 17:52every day.
- 17:53That's
- 17:53perfect.
- 17:54And
- 17:54that's also
- 17:54a big one.
- 17:55Any other ones
- 17:56besides
- 17:57schedule
- 17:58and eating
- 17:58at home?
- 17:59when
- 17:59it comes
- 18:00to advice
- 18:01on,
- 18:02specific
- 18:03diets,
- 18:04this advice
- 18:05will
- 18:05differ.
- 18:06for some
- 18:06people,
- 18:07some
- 18:07body is
- 18:08will need
- 18:09more fat
- 18:10in their
- 18:11diet.
- 18:11For
- 18:11example,
- 18:12you know,
- 18:13the
- 18:13these will
- 18:13be bodies
- 18:14that will have
- 18:16inherently
- 18:17a lot of
- 18:18dryness
- 18:19in them.
- 18:19So dryness
- 18:21in the body
- 18:21can,
- 18:22express
- 18:22itself
- 18:23as
- 18:23constipation.
- 18:24can express
- 18:25itself
- 18:26as dry
- 18:26skin,
- 18:27cracking
- 18:27joints,
- 18:28brittle
- 18:29hair,
- 18:29brittle
- 18:30nails,
- 18:31but also a
- 18:32very
- 18:32anxious
- 18:33mind.
- 18:33that's an
- 18:34interesting
- 18:34expression.
- 18:35dryness.
- 18:36So
- 18:36there are
- 18:36some body
- 18:37types
- 18:38that will need
- 18:39a more,
- 18:39you know,
- 18:40they will
- 18:40need their
- 18:41meals
- 18:42to be warm.
- 18:43to us
- 18:44and more
- 18:44fatty,
- 18:45right
- 18:45in nature,
- 18:46more rich,
- 18:47more
- 18:47grounding.
- 18:48there's
- 18:49some body
- 18:50types
- 18:50that, would
- 18:51get
- 18:52recommendations
- 18:53for a more
- 18:53cooling diet.
- 18:54So
- 18:55these are
- 18:55bodies
- 18:56that,
- 18:56are prone
- 18:57to
- 18:57inflammation,
- 18:58prone
- 18:59to anger,
- 19:00prone to
- 19:01all sorts
- 19:02of skin.
- 19:03issues
- 19:04rashes,
- 19:05acne,
- 19:05eczema.
- 19:06so
- 19:07these are
- 19:07typically
- 19:07bodies
- 19:08that have
- 19:09too much
- 19:09fire in
- 19:10them.
- 19:11Right.
- 19:11So
- 19:12these are
- 19:12all
- 19:12symptoms
- 19:13in ayurveda
- 19:14that that
- 19:14are
- 19:14associated
- 19:15with,
- 19:16too much
- 19:16heat in
- 19:17the body.
- 19:17so, in
- 19:18those
- 19:19cases,
- 19:20always
- 19:20regular
- 19:21meal times.
- 19:21That's
- 19:22for
- 19:22everyone.
- 19:22but in
- 19:23those
- 19:23cases,
- 19:24there
- 19:24will be
- 19:24an emphasis
- 19:25on green
- 19:27vegetables,
- 19:28better
- 19:28vegetables
- 19:29because,
- 19:30green,
- 19:31green
- 19:31vegetables,
- 19:32they, are
- 19:32very
- 19:33cooling
- 19:33in nature.
- 19:34What is
- 19:35bitter
- 19:36The bitter
- 19:36taste in
- 19:37our food
- 19:38is cooling
- 19:38for the
- 19:39blood. Wow.
- 19:40So, you
- 19:41know,
- 19:41things
- 19:42drinking
- 19:42celery
- 19:43juice,
- 19:43for
- 19:43example,
- 19:44that can be
- 19:45really
- 19:45beneficial
- 19:46for a
- 19:46person,
- 19:47who has,
- 19:48for
- 19:48instance,
- 19:49you know,
- 19:49liver
- 19:49issues,
- 19:50which is
- 19:51to do
- 19:51with excess
- 19:52fire
- 19:53in the body.
- 19:53so
- 19:54basically
- 19:54eating,
- 19:55you know, a
- 19:55lot of
- 19:56green
- 19:56things.
- 19:57And those
- 19:57people
- 19:58can also
- 19:59do better
- 20:00with the
- 20:00raw food,
- 20:01which,
- 20:01for
- 20:01example,
- 20:02a person
- 20:02who, has
- 20:03a drier
- 20:04and colder
- 20:04body,
- 20:05will not be
- 20:05able to
- 20:06digest.
- 20:06Right.
- 20:07It will make them
- 20:07bloated.
- 20:08So
- 20:08these are
- 20:09examples
- 20:09then
- 20:09for then,
- 20:10there are
- 20:11other
- 20:11bodies
- 20:11who are
- 20:12heavier
- 20:13in nature.
- 20:14These are
- 20:15people
- 20:15who are
- 20:16a bit
- 20:16slower
- 20:17in nature.
- 20:18they to
- 20:18move less.
- 20:19So for
- 20:20them.
- 20:20Again,
- 20:21dietary
- 20:21recommendations
- 20:22will be
- 20:23again
- 20:23different.
- 20:24So,
- 20:24that's why
- 20:26you know
- 20:26when,
- 20:26we give
- 20:27specific
- 20:28advice,
- 20:28it's always
- 20:29personalized
- 20:30in that
- 20:30when it
- 20:31comes to
- 20:31the diet
- 20:31for sure.
- 20:32And that's
- 20:32so important.
- 20:33We all are
- 20:34so
- 20:34different
- 20:35in our body
- 20:35types
- 20:35are different.
- 20:36And I think
- 20:36even as
- 20:37we age
- 20:37we change.
- 20:39And
- 20:39there are
- 20:39different
- 20:39stages
- 20:40of life.
- 20:41You know
- 20:41what?
- 20:41you know,
- 20:42our children
- 20:42when
- 20:43we have
- 20:43small kids,
- 20:44we want them
- 20:45to have
- 20:45more
- 20:46of the,
- 20:47you know,
- 20:47fatty foods
- 20:48as well,
- 20:48because
- 20:49they're
- 20:49building
- 20:50tissue.
- 20:51Right.
- 20:51And then
- 20:52as we age,
- 20:54we might need
- 20:54a little
- 20:55bit less
- 20:56of that.
- 20:56Right?
- 20:57So it
- 20:57absolutely
- 20:58depends.
- 20:58It depends
- 20:59what,
- 20:59you know,
- 20:59what
- 21:00our body
- 21:00constitution
- 21:01needs, but
- 21:02also
- 21:02depends
- 21:03what our
- 21:04what is
- 21:04happening
- 21:05with us
- 21:05right now.
- 21:06What are the circumstances?
- 21:07Are we
- 21:08really
- 21:08stressed
- 21:09out
- 21:09right now
- 21:10if we are
- 21:10I always
- 21:11whenever I
- 21:12talk about,
- 21:13diet and
- 21:14digestion,
- 21:15I always
- 21:15to quote,
- 21:16Doctor
- 21:17Claudia
- 21:17Wells,
- 21:18who,
- 21:19beautifully
- 21:19said,
- 21:20the
- 21:20more complicated
- 21:21your life,
- 21:22the simpler
- 21:23your diet
- 21:23should be.
- 21:24And I
- 21:24love that
- 21:25because
- 21:26there's
- 21:26so much
- 21:28in that
- 21:28sentence.
- 21:29Yes.
- 21:29makes
- 21:30sense.
- 21:30That one.
- 21:31That
- 21:31one does
- 21:31hit home
- 21:32for me,
- 21:32too.
- 21:32And I
- 21:33definitely
- 21:33can say
- 21:34that when
- 21:34my kids
- 21:35were
- 21:35younger
- 21:35and I
- 21:35was home
- 21:36with them,
- 21:36not really
- 21:37doing
- 21:37a lot,
- 21:37I did
- 21:38get very
- 21:39creative in
- 21:39the
- 21:39kitchen,
- 21:40and I did
- 21:40complicated
- 21:41recipes,
- 21:42and
- 21:42it was fun.
- 21:42And now
- 21:43that we're
- 21:44all much
- 21:45busier,
- 21:46our diets
- 21:47have gotten
- 21:47a lot
- 21:48simpler.
- 21:48There's
- 21:49a lot
- 21:49more meals
- 21:50that it's
- 21:50here's
- 21:51your
- 21:51protein,
- 21:51here's
- 21:51your
- 21:51starch,
- 21:52here's
- 21:52your
- 21:52vegetable.
- 21:52Because
- 21:53it's easy
- 21:53to throw
- 21:53together,
- 21:54you can pull
- 21:55stuff
- 21:55out of
- 21:55the fridge.
- 21:55They don't
- 21:56necessarily
- 21:56have
- 21:56to have
- 21:57a bunch
- 21:57of
- 21:57ingredients.
- 21:58And I think
- 21:59actually
- 22:00the
- 22:00sentence
- 22:01it
- 22:01beautifully
- 22:02illustrates
- 22:04that in
- 22:05ayurveda
- 22:06the process
- 22:07of
- 22:08digestion
- 22:09and the
- 22:09process of
- 22:10digesting
- 22:11food,
- 22:12is also
- 22:13linked to
- 22:14our ability
- 22:15to digest
- 22:16life as
- 22:17I say.
- 22:17that makes
- 22:18sense.
- 22:18So,
- 22:19this comes
- 22:20from here.
- 22:21We are talking
- 22:22of
- 22:22concepts.
- 22:23so,
- 22:23and
- 22:23ayurveda
- 22:24that
- 22:24there's
- 22:24this
- 22:25concept
- 22:25of fire
- 22:26that,
- 22:27our
- 22:27ancestors
- 22:28worked
- 22:28with,
- 22:28and
- 22:29they were
- 22:29observing.
- 22:29They were
- 22:30looking for
- 22:30patterns.
- 22:31and working
- 22:31with this
- 22:32concept of
- 22:33fire, the
- 22:34they
- 22:35noticed
- 22:35this
- 22:35parallel,
- 22:36because
- 22:37it's our
- 22:37digestive
- 22:38fire
- 22:39in ayurveda
- 22:40that
- 22:40helps us
- 22:40digest
- 22:41the food
- 22:42that
- 22:42we eat.
- 22:43But there's
- 22:43also
- 22:44the same
- 22:44principle
- 22:45of fire.
- 22:46It will
- 22:46just,
- 22:47you know,
- 22:47be on the
- 22:47subtle
- 22:48level
- 22:48that
- 22:49allows us
- 22:50to perceive
- 22:51and to turn
- 22:52what
- 22:53we take in
- 22:53with
- 22:54our senses
- 22:55into an
- 22:56integrated
- 22:56experience.
- 22:57So that is
- 22:58a very
- 22:58similar
- 22:59process
- 22:59as
- 23:00we take food
- 23:01and
- 23:01we turn it
- 23:02into
- 23:02nutrients,
- 23:03we also take
- 23:04in what,
- 23:05you know,
- 23:05life
- 23:06and we
- 23:07turn it
- 23:07into
- 23:08our experience.
- 23:09And so
- 23:10what,
- 23:10the ancient
- 23:11text
- 23:12thought
- 23:12about
- 23:13is that
- 23:14those two
- 23:15processes
- 23:16since there
- 23:16governed
- 23:16by the same
- 23:17principle
- 23:18of fire,
- 23:18they are very related.
- 23:20So what
- 23:21that means
- 23:22is
- 23:22if our digestion
- 23:24is working
- 23:24well,
- 23:25our the way
- 23:26we
- 23:26experience
- 23:27our life
- 23:28will also
- 23:30be,
- 23:30you know,
- 23:31clearer
- 23:32and easier
- 23:33when our
- 23:33digestive
- 23:34process
- 23:35starts to,
- 23:37block up
- 23:37somewhere.
- 23:38This will
- 23:39also
- 23:39translate,
- 23:40as
- 23:41blockages
- 23:42somewhere
- 23:42along
- 23:43the line
- 23:43in the way
- 23:44we
- 23:44experience
- 23:45life.
- 23:45So, I mean,
- 23:46we can talk
- 23:47about very,
- 23:48very simple
- 23:49and
- 23:49relatable
- 23:50examples
- 23:51that
- 23:51I'm sure
- 23:51all of us
- 23:52have
- 23:52experience.
- 23:53so,
- 23:53for
- 23:53instance,
- 23:54let's take
- 23:54christmas
- 23:55right?
- 23:55Because
- 23:56that's
- 23:56always a
- 23:56big one.
- 23:57at
- 23:57Christmas,
- 23:58you know,
- 23:58many people
- 23:59overeat,
- 24:00right?
- 24:00It's just
- 24:01the nature
- 24:01of things.
- 24:02Right.
- 24:02so
- 24:03we might go
- 24:03visiting
- 24:04family
- 24:04and we have
- 24:05to sit
- 24:05at the
- 24:05table
- 24:06for a very
- 24:06long time,
- 24:07and we eat
- 24:07way more
- 24:08than than
- 24:08we can.
- 24:09And we sit
- 24:10more and we
- 24:11drink
- 24:11some more.
- 24:12And
- 24:12then by,
- 24:13you know,
- 24:14by third
- 24:15or fourth
- 24:15day or
- 24:16however
- 24:16many days
- 24:17we celebrate,
- 24:18we just
- 24:19feel really
- 24:20lethargic.
- 24:21Right?
- 24:22And,
- 24:22we can't
- 24:23if I think
- 24:24of myself,
- 24:25going
- 24:26through
- 24:26that
- 24:26experience
- 24:27years ago,
- 24:28I would
- 24:29it would be
- 24:29really
- 24:30difficult
- 24:30for me
- 24:31to imagine,
- 24:32engaging
- 24:33in some
- 24:33sort of
- 24:34endeavor
- 24:35where
- 24:36sharp
- 24:36intellect
- 24:37would be
- 24:37required
- 24:38after this
- 24:39experience.
- 24:40Because of
- 24:40the way
- 24:41that one
- 24:42would feel
- 24:43after
- 24:43having,
- 24:44exposed
- 24:45themselves
- 24:45to heavy,
- 24:46heavy
- 24:46digestion
- 24:47over
- 24:48a period of
- 24:48several
- 24:49days.
- 24:49We would
- 24:50feel
- 24:50sitting on
- 24:51the sofa,
- 24:52maybe
- 24:52eating some
- 24:53chocolates
- 24:53and
- 24:53watching
- 24:54Christmas
- 24:55movies.
- 24:55That's what
- 24:56we would
- 24:56feel
- 24:56attracts
- 24:57an opposite
- 24:58screen
- 24:58balance.
- 24:59This is always
- 25:00where
- 25:00we come
- 25:00back to
- 25:01in ayurveda
- 25:02right?
- 25:02and
- 25:02it works
- 25:03the other
- 25:03way
- 25:03around too.
- 25:04So
- 25:04sometimes,
- 25:05you know,
- 25:06our
- 25:06experience
- 25:07of life
- 25:08can also
- 25:09influence
- 25:10our ability
- 25:11to digest.
- 25:12So it also
- 25:12works
- 25:13this way.
- 25:13So for
- 25:14example,
- 25:15if, we have
- 25:16a difficult
- 25:16emotion
- 25:17that we
- 25:18have
- 25:18trouble,
- 25:19you know,
- 25:19assimilating
- 25:20and
- 25:21processing.
- 25:21Right.
- 25:22So
- 25:22that is an
- 25:23example of,
- 25:24an impaired
- 25:25digestive
- 25:25process,
- 25:26right?
- 25:27On the
- 25:27emotional
- 25:27level,
- 25:28this can
- 25:29absolutely
- 25:30influence
- 25:30our ability
- 25:31to digest
- 25:32food,
- 25:32right?
- 25:33It can
- 25:33alter
- 25:34our appetite
- 25:35it can
- 25:35either
- 25:35make us,
- 25:36you know,
- 25:37super
- 25:38hungry,
- 25:38and we eat,
- 25:39we overeat,
- 25:40you know,
- 25:41we go
- 25:41down
- 25:42the route
- 25:42of
- 25:42emotional
- 25:43eating
- 25:43or the
- 25:44opposite,
- 25:44it can,
- 25:45we
- 25:45might not
- 25:46feel hungry
- 25:47when we're
- 25:47you know,
- 25:48depressed
- 25:48or stressed
- 25:49or
- 25:50whatever.
- 25:50so it can
- 25:51absolutely
- 25:52work
- 25:52both ways.
- 25:54definitely.
- 25:54And I
- 25:55think a lot
- 25:55of people,
- 25:56when
- 25:56they get
- 25:56stressed,
- 25:57do have
- 25:57digestive
- 25:58issues
- 25:58when they
- 25:58do try
- 25:59to eat.
- 25:59And it is
- 26:00definitely
- 26:00linked.
- 26:01That's
- 26:01right.
- 26:01Now, so
- 26:02that's
- 26:03another,
- 26:04you know,
- 26:05another
- 26:05reason for,
- 26:07for people
- 26:07to pay
- 26:08attention
- 26:09if
- 26:09they have
- 26:10been
- 26:10experiencing,
- 26:11digestive
- 26:12discomfort,
- 26:13which, we
- 26:14think of
- 26:14as common
- 26:15and normal,
- 26:16but it's
- 26:16actually
- 26:17not normal.
- 26:18it
- 26:18shouldn't
- 26:18be there,
- 26:19you know,
- 26:20benign
- 26:21things.
- 26:21And I'm
- 26:22using
- 26:22air quotes
- 26:23here,
- 26:23getting gas
- 26:25constantly,
- 26:25being
- 26:26gassy or,
- 26:27you know,
- 26:27not
- 26:27being able
- 26:28to
- 26:28eliminate
- 26:29every day.
- 26:30you know,
- 26:31that's not,
- 26:32if we're
- 26:33eating
- 26:33every day,
- 26:34we should
- 26:34be
- 26:34eliminating
- 26:35every day,
- 26:36heartburn.
- 26:37and, So,
- 26:38so
- 26:38these are
- 26:38examples of
- 26:40digestive
- 26:41discomfort
- 26:41that people
- 26:42tend to
- 26:42conform
- 26:43with.
- 26:43But
- 26:44in fact,
- 26:45you know,
- 26:45there is
- 26:46no reason
- 26:46why one
- 26:47should
- 26:48because
- 26:48when we
- 26:49address
- 26:49them,
- 26:49then
- 26:50our experience
- 26:52of life
- 26:52also
- 26:53improves
- 26:54because
- 26:54it's the
- 26:54same
- 26:55process,
- 26:55just,
- 26:56you know,
- 26:56different
- 26:57levels.
- 26:58Oh,
- 26:58absolutely.
- 26:59And then,
- 26:59you know,
- 26:59once you
- 27:00start
- 27:00doing that
- 27:01and
- 27:01you feel so
- 27:01much
- 27:02better,
- 27:02you'll
- 27:02think,
- 27:02why did I
- 27:03ever do
- 27:03that?
