Transcript
- 0:00My name is Casey Shipp, I specialize in helping women get to the root cause of their health conditions and optimize their hormones to get better results By the way, if you're not in my telegram, put a comment and say telegram And i'll send you my free community because you get first dibs if you're in my telegram community And we can like Converse.
- 0:20Okay.
- 0:21So who here struggles with yo yo dieting?
- 0:23Where you're always trying to do some kind of diet, intermittent fasting, start this new cleanse, starting to eat more carbs, less carbs.
- 0:31Just always on and off.
- 0:34Here's the deal.
- 0:34It's literally not your fault.
- 0:36So I'm gonna share nCBI government published article.
- 0:40They did a study and I've said this for years that it's an addiction.
- 0:46Okay.
- 0:46We're all addicted to things.
- 0:47I just made a post on X or Twitter X and I was like, if you don't believe that emotions are the thing that's in control of fitness and health success and anything related to success, but really when it comes to health and fitness and diets, then take away somebody's favorite food or wine.
- 1:05Give a lady the food test and tell her she can't have cheese or corn or her chips or her wine.
- 1:12You're gonna see some emotions.
- 1:15Okay?
- 1:15Because I don't believe in just hormones.
- 1:18Or just a workout or just a meal plan because that's if that worked all of us would have banging bodies all of us It would work the first time and it would just keep working.
- 1:27Why doesn't it work?
- 1:28It's because of what we're about to go over And we get to the root cause and that's why you'll see if you've studied my stuff or if you haven't seen any myself check out the testimonials because Like today we had a lady that said it's like the need to drink is gone I don't even think about it.
- 1:43It's a miracle and people are chiming in saying me too.
- 1:46And I, myself, have overcome a crazy addiction.
- 1:51I used to drink bottles of wine at night, take pills, Adderall.
- 1:54Anything to numb out I would overwork, addictions, addicts are in my family.
- 1:59Really, it's not addicts.
- 2:00People think that they're an alcoholic or they're an addict.
- 2:03Really, it's that you're addicted to numbing out the emotional pain.
- 2:08And we're not taught how to do that.
- 2:09I'm sharing what helped me.
- 2:11And if that helps you, then great.
- 2:12If not, fuck it, right?
- 2:13But I've overcome hyperthyroid, adrenal fatigue, cystic acne, IBS, conditions white coats could never help me with.
- 2:22Matter of fact, we help ladies overcome Hashimoto's.
- 2:25And I say that with pride because that's a miracle and we do that.
- 2:29Hypothyroid, fatty liver.
- 2:30It doesn't matter PCOS there's a reason why you have this condition and it's not your fault So first, I'm gonna read you this because I want you to understand that it's an addiction so I want you to start looking at your yo dieting or Where you're at now struggling, you know reaching for this is gonna make me happier once I get this body or whatever It's an addiction Okay, same thing with people wanting to get a sale.
- 2:56Wanting to get quick money and shit.
- 2:58That's a dopamine hit.
- 3:00Okay, so when you understand, it's worse than a cuss word.
- 3:03I'm really trying hard.
- 3:04But, those filler words.
- 3:06So once you understand that it's an addiction, it changes the game.
- 3:11Now, if that brings up shame, that's okay.
- 3:15It's just an emotion.
- 3:17that can be cleared and it's actually pointing to the pain and the pain is a portal for strength.
- 3:23So the things that we're afraid of or that we're scared of gets to be shed.
- 3:29It gets to be let go of because it's shackled you for too long now.
- 3:35So I want you to start seeing the struggle with weight and the struggle with diet and the struggle with fitness has been an addiction this whole time.
- 3:44It's been an addiction to toxic shame, toxic guilt, and addiction to those feel good neurotransmitters.
- 3:54Dopamine, oxytocin, the epinephrines, all those that feel so good.
- 4:00Cheese has so many chemicals that make us feel good, you have no idea.
- 4:05It's like alcohol, almost.
- 4:07So this right here, when I say it's not your fault, genetics are everything.
- 4:12And things can get passed down to us.
- 4:15Duh.
- 4:16Look at us.
- 4:17So things can get passed down, but did you know that this study right here shows that the programming of obesity, they did the blood levels of certain people and that certain patients that were born to women exposed to severe undernutrition during the Dutch hunger crisis.
- 4:39World War II had reduced methylation of the imprinted gene IGF 2, the insulin growth factor.
- 4:49The studies show that They did the blood levels of females from parents that went through the Dutch hunger during World War II, and they had reduced insulin growth factor, meaning they have a higher risk for obesity.
- 5:09Now, under eating caused this.
- 5:15They were starving.
- 5:16Now, what does every woman do to try to get hot?
- 5:23Anybody want to guess?
- 5:24She under eats.
- 5:26She fast.
- 5:27She doesn't eat carbs.
- 5:28She doesn't eat fat.
- 5:29She doesn't eat this.
- 5:30She doesn't eat that.
- 5:32So now you've got it in your genetics and you're doing it.
- 5:37Crazy, right?
- 5:38And we wonder why we struggle.
- 5:41It's because it ain't your motherfucking struggle.
- 5:45It was your grandpappies And the struggle just keeps on.
- 5:49If you'll watch a mom who has an eating disorder, that's an eating disorder.
- 5:53That's obsessive.
- 5:54That's a compensatory behavior.
- 5:56Thinking she's gotta go do cardio every time she eats a taco.
- 5:59It's an eating disorder.
- 6:00No shame! If there's shame, that's the reason for the eating disorder.
- 6:04And we get to clear that.
- 6:06We clear that here.
- 6:07Doesn't scare me none.
- 6:09We've cleared and transcended toxic shame and guilt and all those things that hold us back and the fear and the guilt around becoming successful.
- 6:16So those don't scare me and I hope they don't scare you and if they do, then you need to get around more safe women like me.
- 6:21Understanding that comes, that is genetic and that you have to awaken to realize, hey, that wasn't normal.
- 6:29The way I grew up, my mom struggling with diets or my mom or dad overweight or underweight or whatever, you have to unlearn and then relearn from people like me and other health coaches how to actually be healthy.
- 6:43And you gotta watch out the health coaches that you do pay.
- 6:46Half of them got eating disorders.
- 6:47How do I know I used to be one of them?
- 6:49Dead giveaway is that they are obsessive about A lot of things.
- 6:54But so the next thing okay dopamine check this out dopamine and did you know sugar?
- 7:00Is more like the drug hit is that of like opiates?
- 7:05Okay rats could actually keep their paws on hot surface longer After they had sugar.
- 7:10So what does that tell us about sugar?
- 7:11It numbs emotion Dopamine the desire for dopamine researchers found that You When you crave a milkshake and you have that first taste, it's like heavenly.
- 7:26But once it hits your stomach, it's over.
- 7:27Now you're left with regret the reason why it's happening is because there's a lack of control and you're wanting to control how you feel.
- 7:37The only way to do that is to learn how to feel.
- 7:41And then learn what to do with it.
- 7:43Six times more addictive than cocaine.
- 7:45I should know.
- 7:46I was an addict.
- 7:48I get it.
- 7:49I've done a lot of work for the addictions.
- 7:51And those of you that know what type of work I do will understand how we've done a lot of this.
- 7:57But I've been embodying this for years.
- 7:58Let's see, when did I start doing this work?
- 8:00It's been, it's well over a decade.
- 8:0115 years.
- 8:03So do you understand now that yo dieting, the struggle, and you reaching out to us or any other coach wanting a new diet, wanting a new meal plan, oh hormones, you're reaching for shiny object syndrome.
- 8:14Wow, that will help because let me tell you this, now we're gonna get into the physical part.
- 8:18You ready?
- 8:18So if you struggle with yo dieting, here's some tips that you can do to help.
- 8:23Number one.
- 8:25Okay.
- 8:26Food and gut tests.
- 8:26Now there's a loophole here.
- 8:27There's a, if you get the food and gut test and you have the addiction, you're going to get emotional.
- 8:33It tells you what you can't have.
- 8:35You little rebel.
- 8:36You're going to go have it anyway.
- 8:38And then you're going to fall off of it and talk shit about the food test and it just didn't work it Didn't you try this and it didn't work?
- 8:45so you see how important it is to get to the root issue in the nervous system and Clear out the reason why you would need to go back to guilt and shame Because that is your set point is you do you there's something in you that believes you're that's all you know That's all you know For example if a child grows up In chaos, and the parents are fighting, there's lack, there's emotional abuse, verbal abuse, emotional neglect, it's chaotic, the needs are never met, and you're worried if your needs will ever get met because they're never met and it's chaotic.
- 9:19There was an addictive pattern in me, and I'm still working on it, that was addicted to the chaos, to constant up and downs.
- 9:27Constant, will my needs be met?
- 9:29What do I have to do to make sure my needs are met and that I'm safe?
- 9:32At the end of the day, all of us just want to feel safe, loved, and supported.
- 9:40But we don't know how to give that to ourselves.
- 9:43So you have to learn how to give that to yourself.
- 9:46And it's way beyond, I love you, self love, yay, positive affirmations.
- 9:51That's like those people that tell you, just go sleep more.
- 9:55You need to stress less.
- 9:56No shit bitch, if it were that easy.
- 9:59We'd all be doing it.
- 9:59How the fuck do I do that, right?
- 10:01I know y'all are thinking that.
- 10:03So we've got the how.
- 10:04So the first thing you can do, obviously, is having conversations like this.
- 10:09Bringing it to the surface and being aware of it and not taking offense, but more of taking responsibility, right?
- 10:17What's that saying?
- 10:19The things that happen to you are not your fault, but you're healing them and transmuting them and breaking the pattern is your responsibility.
- 10:26So you have to wake the fuck up.
- 10:29Get around people like me, or women who are, I say safe, but maybe you don't consider me safe, but non judgmental, just a non judgmental witness.
- 10:39Just a non judgmental witness.
- 10:42And when you do that's going to change everything for you.
- 10:45Because it's probably Rare that you meet safe people.
- 10:50Get the testing because some of you are really, you really do want it.
- 10:54Some of you really do want it.
- 10:55You're like me.
- 10:56Just tell me what to do and I'll do it.
- 10:57I really, I wanted to feel better so bad.
- 11:01I would have eaten cow shit.
- 11:03I would have eaten any, I would have done whatever you told me because I wanted to feel better.
- 11:07So badly, so bad, whatever grammar police help.
- 11:09Okay.
- 11:11Get the food and gut test.
- 11:12Next, what I want you to do is get the hormone test.
- 11:14Okay, I've got this available for everyone.
- 11:16It's super affordable and if you want more, then we've got more, but those of you, get the hormones checked.
- 11:22So you can see firsthand where your adrenals are.
- 11:25Everybody's talking about thyroid.
- 11:27Y'all, I don't know when this is gonna happen, but you gotta wake up.
- 11:30It's all about the adrenals and the nervous system.
- 11:33That's gonna tell your pituitary, hypothalamus, all these other things.
- 11:37In your thyroid what to do and it's going to help your blood sugar.
- 11:40It's going to help everything That's going to direct your thyroid where to go So get the blood work if you want the blood work that we check just put hormone accelerator or put fitness in the comments And we will have a few conversations and we'll send it over to make sure you get the right one seriously number three Stop going all in who's tired right now?
- 12:01Just tell me who's tired right now.
- 12:03Who has, who's tired, feeling lazy, lethargic, all that shit right now.
- 12:09Put it in the chat or just say me.
- 12:11Who has been feeling just not even tired, slothful, lazy, slow.
- 12:17I know I have, okay.
- 12:18I go through, yeah, Akira.
- 12:20I know that I've been, I have days.
- 12:21It's, we're never always up, okay.
- 12:24Okay.
- 12:25Nobody is.
- 12:25So we have to be able to be okay with that.
- 12:33You have to know that's normal, very normal, but you'd have to know how to, what you can do versus going all in.
- 12:41For example, if you have a workout and if those of you that have my app, the hot body app, go look for anything that has hormone, low hormone, E mom.
- 12:51Walking dead, old lady workout, all those workouts are for people with adrenal fatigue.
- 12:57And if you have low thyroid, if you struggle with weight, if you're eating low calories and still not losing, there's metabolic damage, thyroid, and adrenal problems.
- 13:05I can tell you that right now.
- 13:06I don't care what the fuck your doctor said.
- 13:09At this point, they don't do what we do.
- 13:12Let them stay doing their gynecology work.
- 13:14Let them take care of sick people in their little PCP offices, even if they're functional medicine.
- 13:18They don't do what we do.
- 13:20In the mind, body, soul, nervous system work, in the adrenals.
- 13:23I don't care what's said.
- 13:25So you have to learn how to train based on where you're at.
- 13:30Meaning, if you don't feel good that day, Remember, you're addicted to feeling like shit.
- 13:36You're addicted.
- 13:37Remember, you got to think.
- 13:39This addiction is big and it doesn't, people think addictions are drugs, alcohol, and all this.
- 13:43Addictions can be to thought patterns and to emotions.
- 13:46Because you're addicted.
- 13:47To say, you're addicted to the state you're in.
- 13:50What you can do instead, because a lot of you, like I used to do, is you would take an Adderall and caffeine and just go do it anyway and push yourself.
- 13:58And then wonder why you have no libido, and you feel depressed, and your results aren't there, and everybody else seems like they're just living a happy life and have perfect bodies.
- 14:08So you have to learn how to scale it back a little bit.
- 14:11Those of you type A overachievers like me, that I typically attract, this is going to be probably the hardest thing you will have to do.
- 14:18You will have to learn that being a disciplined half ass is the key to success.
- 14:23That every day will not be full on top of the world, getting everything done, and you've got to learn to tap into the feminine, into the parts that we have always denied and hated about ourself.
- 14:34Who here talks shit about their periods and hates being on their periods?
- 14:37Raise your hand.
- 14:39Raise your hand.
- 14:40Me.
- 14:41Yeah.
- 14:42See how much we deny ourselves, which is self hate, which is the root cause, amen, of adrenal fatigue.
- 14:49Is this making sense to y'all right now?
- 14:51I just want to know am I over your head or is this making fucking sense?
- 14:55Is this making sense?
- 14:55Yes.
- 14:56Say yes.
- 14:57If it's not say no So you have to learn How to sit still how to move slower how to tap into your feminine because Sometimes slower is better And we got to stop chasing these quick dopamine hits.
- 15:14We got to stop chasing these high days.
- 15:16How do we do that?
- 15:18Here's how you just go to the gym anyway, and you do one of those workouts that I gave you.
- 15:22Don't push it.
- 15:23Instead of three sets of 10, maybe you do one set of 10 instead of, four sets of eight, just do one set of eight.
- 15:31Focus on, remember that food test I was talking about.
- 15:34We gotta get you eating more.
- 15:36Boundaries, we need boundaries.
- 15:38Let's go to bed, let's take some melatonin at a certain time.
- 15:41Let's pop some chamomile tea.
- 15:43Let's write in the journal.
- 15:44Let's set our schedules up that support our growth.
- 15:49Right?
- 15:50This is all about yo dieting and the addictive patterns and cycles and how to break it.
- 15:55So knowing now what you know about yo dieting, do you see how it has nothing to do with yo dieting?
- 15:58How it has nothing to do with which foods to eat?
- 16:00Casey, just tell me which foods I should be eating.
- 16:03No, because you're a fucking addict.
- 16:06If I do that for you, it's like giving crack to a fucking crackhead.
- 16:10You came here to heal.
- 16:12So stop asking for crack.
- 16:14We're gonna get on a meal plan, but you're gonna do the food test.
- 16:16And when you get the food test back and you start shitting your pants because you can't have fucking apples, then we're gonna go clear.
- 16:25Neutralize that emotion.
- 16:27And you're gonna eat some other fruit.
- 16:29And then you're gonna go work out, and it's gonna be gentle, easy, progressive overload.
- 16:35When you have bad days, you will announce that in the community, in the sisterhood.
- 16:40Remember, it's safe, and if it's not, you're not around the right bitches.
- 16:44And you're going to let us know how you're feeling.
- 16:46And then you're going to see comments that say, Me too.
- 16:48Me too.
- 16:49Me too.
- 16:49Me too.
- 16:50And you're encouraging each other.
- 16:51And you don't feel alone anymore.
- 16:53Wow.
- 16:54Maybe I'm not so fucked up.
- 16:56And then, You're going to feel better because you went to the gym anyway.
- 17:00Because you didn't push yourself too hard.
- 17:02You actually did the workout that was in the thing.
- 17:03And you honored your body and yourself.
- 17:05And you showed up anyway.
- 17:07And then, You had a boundary set where you turned off the phone or You just sat in the bathtub With some pretty music on and put some pedals in the bath and some epsom salt And told your kids and your hubby or your partner To give you an hour And that you'll be back and you sat there and you just felt any emotions that needed to come up maybe cried Maybe laughed Maybe just enjoyed yourself And that's it's really that simple But we make it hard because we're addicted to the struggle.
- 17:39And sometimes the struggle makes us feel alive and it's human.
- 17:42And I understand that because me of all people, I don't want to be bored.
- 17:45And so if I've got to go create something and fuck up shit so I can fix it again because I'm bored, that's fine.
- 17:51Now, if that's the case, then we need to advance.
- 17:53If that, if you're finding yourself, just you're continuously fixing the same shit.
- 17:58You need new goals.
- 18:00You need to be setting really high goals.
- 18:02What's next for you?
- 18:03And you need to go after that.
- 18:04We're gonna do some soul work.
- 18:05We're gonna life coach.
- 18:07Had questions about macros.
- 18:09Couldn't follow her macros.
- 18:10Couldn't do this.
- 18:10I said, hold on.
- 18:11What else?
- 18:12Tell me about your business.
- 18:13She has a business and really cool little business.
- 18:16Big business.
- 18:17And she starts telling me, and I find out this girl is super creative.
- 18:21I'm talking, I can just feel it in her voice.
- 18:23She's just super creative, very intelligent, very artistic, very talented.
- 18:28And I start talking about her business.
- 18:31And I was giving her advice on her business.
- 18:33Cause we have a whole other business offer called Millionaire Matrix.
- 18:36Cause I did create multiple seven figures doing this, helping people.
- 18:39I heal myself.
- 18:41And anytime you do anything for yourself, you can teach other people.
- 18:44Do you know how much money is in info?
- 18:46Hey, do you know how to do this?
- 18:48Teach me tons of money in it.
- 18:49So I have that offer.
- 18:51So I was helping her with that.
- 18:53And I said, here's your problem.
- 18:54You don't have enough going on.
- 18:56You need to focus on this business over here, put all your energy into your business.
- 19:00Guess what happened?
- 19:01Made more money.
- 19:02She's about to sell it.
- 19:03She started another business.
- 19:05Her body easy what macro problem so She was just addicted.
- 19:11She's in the cycle.
- 19:12She needed somebody to Pop her out.
- 19:14So if you notice that you're in a constant state of sabotage, you need some new goals.
- 19:19You need either a business goal, a life goal.
- 19:21You need to start something new.
- 19:23I had one client.
- 19:23I said, she took, she was like, I'm just to age, mid middle age, 38 years old, 40 mid forties for, and for most women, that's that midlife crisis.
- 19:32Turns out she's always wanted to singing lessons because she can sing really well.
- 19:36She started doing that got super happy started getting results.
- 19:39So sometimes we need to what's that thing You've always wanted to do play the guitar learn Spanish.
- 19:44I started taking a tumble class and then a pole dance class You need to start doing those things and then let your body Handle itself because now you're channeling all this energy into something else and you're not Fucking up everything else in just this one little area.
- 20:01It's like a dog that has way too much energy and then they fuck up the house.
- 20:05Take them outside, get them tired, run.
- 20:06They're the best dog ever.
- 20:07Sometimes we're like that.
- 20:09That's all I have to say about yo dieting.
- 20:11Did we even talk about dieting?
- 20:14Did we even talk?
- 20:15Oh, it's hard to tell myself a small amount of work, workout, or house cleaning is better than being exhausted for two days.
- 20:23Yeah, here's the deal.
- 20:24You're going to be tired anyway.
- 20:25If you had plenty of time, what would you do?
- 20:29The soul's never in a hurry.
- 20:32Remember that.
- 20:33And the more you can tap into this area, There will be relaxation.
- 20:38That's the only way our bodies can heal.
- 20:41Now, are we going to all die anyway?
- 20:42Absolutely.
- 20:43Who knows what's going to get us.
- 20:44But, in the meantime, let's enjoy this experience and actually create the lives we want.
- 20:49The sexy body, the flat tummy, the strong legs, the nice ass.
- 20:54Whatever.
- 20:55It's totally possible and it's here.
- 20:56But now that you know what's in the way, which is typically an addictive pattern, Whether it's addicted to a person, people, places, situations, emotions, and understanding how it affects our nervous system.
- 21:10Most people running around, I talked to hundreds of women, thousands, every single one of them have dysregulated nervous systems.
- 21:20And guess what?
- 21:21Life's going to continue to happen.
- 21:22And there's going to be more cases and more things that are going to cause our nervous systems to get out of balance.
- 21:28Always.
- 21:29That's life.
- 21:30So if you want to know like why certain people seem to just have it easier, they don't.
- 21:35Their nervous systems are healthier.
- 21:37That's it.
- 21:38So you can do this.
- 21:40You can do this.
