• 0:27
  Hey everybody, good morning from the chicken coop.
• 0:31
  So this is recovery week and the reason that I decided to do this
• 0:36
  week all about recovery, apparently he agrees with me is
• 0:40
  because we had an interesting little conversation after I saw
• 0:46
  something come across the television the other day.
• 0:49
  Can you imagine what is the most?
• 0:52
  Use day for plumbers. What?
• 0:54
  What day is it that plumbers get called the most in the world?
• 0:58
  Well, that is Thanksgiving Day and the day after.
• 1:02
  And the reason that the plumber went on and on about this, on
• 1:06
  the thing that I saw was people put things down the drain.
• 1:10
  They stuff potato skins or peels from the potatoes down the drain
• 1:15
  they do. The grease from the chicken and
• 1:18
  the Turkey down the drain, they do.
• 1:21
  All kinds of stuff down the drain.
• 1:23
  And he said, and I quote, which is very funny, he said, you
• 1:27
  know, the drains are not like even if it's a garbage disposal,
• 1:32
  it's not meant to just stuff anything in.
• 1:34
  Although why should they stop thinking that that's the case
• 1:38
  when they do it to themselves? And I thought, Oh my gosh, he's
• 1:41
  too funny. And he cracks me up that he just
• 1:43
  said that because that's what we do.
• 1:45
  We go into Thanksgiving and it gives us a license to just
• 1:49
  absolutely. Do all the things that we don't
• 1:52
  like to do and then we wonder why we feel like crap on Monday
• 1:56
  morning. So here we are because most of
• 1:59
  us will say, oh, it's the weekend.
• 2:00
  Because you know, Thanksgiving always takes place on the
• 2:02
  Thursday. So we always have that Thursday,
• 2:05
  Friday, Saturday, Sunday to just, you know, eat the
• 2:08
  leftovers consistently. Eat all that stuffing, eat all
• 2:12
  the pie, everything. And by Monday morning we truly
• 2:15
  feel terrible. So this is recovery week, and
• 2:18
  the first thing that we're going to talk about is dealing with
• 2:21
  the fact that we need to detox and hydrate because nothing is
• 2:26
  more important than detoxing yourself from.
• 2:30
  And most of us, you know, have definitely gone through the
• 2:36
  sugar highs. Of the week.
• 2:39
  We know we've eaten a lot of sugar, so the detox is really
• 2:42
  from the sugar. Alcohol turns into sugar, so
• 2:45
  please know it comes under that category.
• 2:47
  And hydration is one of the quickest ways to start your
• 2:51
  process off. Now as many of you may know, if
• 2:54
  you're loyal listeners, you've been around for a while.
• 2:57
  When I worked for Tony Robbins, this was something that we all
• 3:00
  learned regularly was the detox process, the hydration process,
• 3:04
  because you can't be healthy. And you can't think at your
• 3:08
  best. You can't emotionally be at your
• 3:10
  best if you are stuck in this vortex of feeling completely
• 3:14
  dehydrated all the time and having so much sugar in your
• 3:17
  body. So this is a vital part of it.
• 3:19
  And you know, people will often say I don't.
• 3:23
  I don't really love the idea of giving up all the sugar.
• 3:26
  Neither do I. Let me just be very clear about
• 3:28
  that. I do not want to give up all the
• 3:30
  sugar in my life. I actually.
• 3:32
  Like having cookies. I actually like having sweets.
• 3:36
  It was just a part of my childhood and I like it.
• 3:40
  I I just have to figure out a way and have had to figure out a
• 3:44
  way in my life to limit it to the points where I know I can do
• 3:48
  it and I offset it by doing the hot the.
• 3:51
  Hydration portion of this meaning I will have a little bit
• 3:55
  of sugar, I will have a little bit of dark chocolate.
• 3:57
  I will have those things every day.
• 3:59
  I use honey and tea, but I will tell you.
• 4:03
  I know for a fact that after this holiday, it comes time to
• 4:06
  say I've got to buckle down if I want to be healthy by the time
• 4:10
  Christmas gets here. Because you can't make this
• 4:12
  whole entire month in between now and Christmas holidays or
• 4:16
  whatever holidays you're celebrating, whether it's
• 4:19
  Kwanzaa, Hanukkah or whatever may be coming up for you
• 4:23
  Festivus. I had to say that one and throw
• 4:26
  that in there for all my Seinfeld fans.
• 4:27
  Whatever is coming up for you, you have to make sure that by
• 4:31
  the time it gets here, you're ready for it and you're not
• 4:33
  miserable and sick. So First things first, make sure
• 4:36
  you're drinking plenty of water. Plenty of water.
• 4:39
  Plenty of water, you know. Again, Doctor Botman Gotti, I've
• 4:43
  mentioned him before, is a specialist in.
• 4:47
  Hydration. He has a little tiny book on
• 4:50
  Amazon that you can pick up called Your Body's Many Cries
• 4:53
  for Water and it will change the way you look at water for the
• 4:56
  rest of your life. In a nutshell, it comes down to
• 4:59
  this. If you're peeing any other
• 5:02
  color, then clear or very, very pale yellow, there is a very
• 5:07
  high indicator that you are dehydrated, and that is
• 5:11
  incredibly important to your well-being because that's how
• 5:14
  your system flushes. So no pun intended.
• 5:16
  With the toilet, make sure you're hydrated.
• 5:19
  Take a look at your pee. That's your homework.
• 5:21
  And detox that sugar. Limit the sugar every time you
• 5:24
  write down sugar this week. Write it down every day.
• 5:27
  Write it down so you can see. Because knowledge is power, my
• 5:30
  friends. So write it all down and let's
• 5:32
  get this hydration and detox underway.
• 5:35
  I'll see you tomorrow for Part 2.
• 5:38
  Bye.
