2:10
Speaker 4: really excited to drop in and see what come out
2:14
Speaker 4: of this great gathering.
2:16
Speaker 3: Likewise, so the first question I have for you is
2:20
Speaker 3: about your origin story. Tell us about where you grew
2:24
Speaker 3: up and how you came to do this kind of work.
2:27
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is you know, I really do believe that
2:32
Speaker 4: if you on a path, things come to you, if
2:35
Speaker 4: you just look, if you just open to receive. And
2:40
Speaker 4: I would say that this spot really came to me
2:44
Speaker 4: because I was on a different route. I was, you know,
2:50
Speaker 4: finishing economic degree in New York City a few years
2:54
Speaker 4: before I moved from Israel. I was like really eager
2:57
Speaker 4: to get into finance. Oh my friends were on you know,
3:02
Speaker 4: on the trading floor, and it really inspired me. I was,
3:06
Speaker 4: you know, a type A really want to succeed, love
3:09
Speaker 4: working with money. And I went into becoming a phone
3:12
Speaker 4: exchange trader, and that was basically what I thought I
3:18
Speaker 4: want to do. And you know, life getting married, pretty young,
3:24
Speaker 4: three kids within three years at three and a half years,
3:27
Speaker 4: I had three kids, and you know, life slow you down.
3:31
Speaker 4: And I love practicing yoga, and that was you know,
3:35
Speaker 4: my passion is practicing yoga till you get good enough
3:39
Speaker 4: that you're able to teach. And I would say, prior
3:42
Speaker 4: to the growing up in Israel, that's why I really
3:45
Speaker 4: feel that our path is really there for us all along.
3:49
Speaker 4: We came with a purpose without knowing it or we
3:53
Speaker 4: know it or we don't know it. We you know,
3:55
Speaker 4: we hear with intention if we said the intention, or
3:59
Speaker 4: it just open to it. And you know, I grew
4:03
Speaker 4: up across like really close to a farm and working
4:07
Speaker 4: farm in Israel, so I was I was every afternoon
4:11
Speaker 4: I would spend my time with you know, with animals,
4:16
Speaker 4: with avocado trees, with peac countries, cows and chickens, and
4:23
Speaker 4: I would just walk around and spend hours afternoon at
4:27
Speaker 4: the farm. It was like my place to really connect
4:31
Speaker 4: to the earth. And I would say that also my
4:34
Speaker 4: dad was very much into you know, farming and beekeeping,
4:39
Speaker 4: and so he would take me along with him on
4:42
Speaker 4: his hikes and trips and and and the love of
4:46
Speaker 4: the earth and nature probably was the first introductive introductory
4:50
Speaker 4: for me. For Ayovetta, I would say.
4:56
Speaker 3: Wow, beautiful, that's amazing that you happen to go walk
5:00
Speaker 3: that way and that really opened the door for you.
5:03
Speaker 3: And then your degree that you choose to pursue seems
5:06
Speaker 3: to be like completely opposite of that. So I'm curious
5:10
Speaker 3: how you kind of went back together with a your
5:13
Speaker 3: veta in your journey.
5:15
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that, you know, it's it's you have
5:21
Speaker 4: to listen. You got to listen to your body. You
5:23
Speaker 4: don't have to do anything, but you know, when you
5:26
Speaker 4: start listening to your body, your body basically had a
5:29
Speaker 4: rhythm and it would tell you you know you're going
5:33
Speaker 4: too fast, you know you're doing too much, and the
5:39
Speaker 4: way it forms in the body is disease. Right, it
5:43
Speaker 4: doesn't accumulate right way into an actual disease, but there's
5:48
Speaker 4: underline you learn in aveda that underline, we have a
5:56
Speaker 4: disposition of almost all of us in our DNA of disease.
6:01
Speaker 4: And when we start to practice a yoveda, a lot
6:07
Speaker 4: of time people would go and do puncha karma, which
6:09
Speaker 4: mean extracting the karma, the taxin right, you know, puancha
6:16
Speaker 4: karma is like the element of five, the five element,
6:19
Speaker 4: and you basically bringing the disease into the surface, the
6:23
Speaker 4: disposition into the surface. And you know, when I, after
6:31
Speaker 4: having three kids, I heard about and I was already
6:34
Speaker 4: practicing yoga, I heard about puncha karma. I heard about
6:38
Speaker 4: a doctor out in New Mexico, and I'm a seeker.
6:43
Speaker 4: I want to learn, I want to know more, and
6:46
Speaker 4: I planned this strip to go and get puncha karma,
6:50
Speaker 4: and in fact, I got really, really sick afterwards, which
6:53
Speaker 4: made me realize later on, after studying, you know, and
6:58
Speaker 4: becoming a punch of karma, you know, a technician, and
7:02
Speaker 4: doing all the aveta training, you know, you learn there's
7:06
Speaker 4: many different way of doing ayovetda and puncha karma is
7:13
Speaker 4: a way to It's sort of the medicine behind aoveda.
7:18
Speaker 4: So you go and get these treatments and you have
7:20
Speaker 4: a vadia, which is an aveda doctor who check your pulse.
7:24
Speaker 4: He doesn't check your tongue. It sometimes they do check
7:26
Speaker 4: your tongue, but they check your polls. It's not like
7:29
Speaker 4: they have that. You know, you're in a medical field, right,
7:32
Speaker 4: so you have tools to check the heart, you have
7:35
Speaker 4: tools to you know, you do the blood work to
7:38
Speaker 4: check what's going on in aveda. Your polls and your
7:44
Speaker 4: tongue can show everything of what's going on in the body.
7:48
Speaker 4: And in fact, the guy who's taking my pulse was
7:51
Speaker 4: definitely a master those bodias. Some of them are unbelievable
7:56
Speaker 4: that he detect what's going on in my body. But
8:00
Speaker 4: a lot of time for a Western punch a karma
8:04
Speaker 4: is a little bit aggressive. If because our liver is
8:08
Speaker 4: so toxic from the environment, from the plastic, from the
8:12
Speaker 4: fat that we take in the unhealthy, unprocessed fat, in
8:16
Speaker 4: the oils that are not called press so they're not
8:19
Speaker 4: clean oils that we're using. The liver cannot do this
8:23
Speaker 4: job because it's it's already so impacted that the disease
8:30
Speaker 4: that you have underneath underline is coming up when you
8:35
Speaker 4: do puncha karma. And unless you're working with a doctor,
8:40
Speaker 4: Indian doctor who actually know very well the Western society.
8:46
Speaker 4: You know, we didn't grow up on taking tons of
8:49
Speaker 4: ashwagandhai memes and pakochi and all the wonderful herbs, the
8:54
Speaker 4: great IRBs. But if you impact your body with all
8:57
Speaker 4: those herbs and you keep taking vitamins and you keep
8:59
Speaker 4: doing all those treatments, your body is not even ready
9:02
Speaker 4: for it. And a lot of time you actually coming
9:07
Speaker 4: out of those treatment and you feel really sick. And
9:10
Speaker 4: my whole mission was when I started developing my my
9:15
Speaker 4: company was really came from Pancha Karma. I had Pancha
9:19
Speaker 4: Karma and I had a download. It was a great
9:21
Speaker 4: everybody needs to know about it. But we're dealing with
9:24
Speaker 4: Western women who wants to put They don't just want
9:27
Speaker 4: to put Sasa the oil on their body. They want
9:29
Speaker 4: to put something that's actually going to smell good. They're
9:32
Speaker 4: not just going to put the herbs without something that
9:36
Speaker 4: you know will not make them feel feminine. I'm not
9:40
Speaker 4: going to do it every day. Maybe I'll do it
9:41
Speaker 4: once in a while, but I know the effect of
9:44
Speaker 4: doing applying the oils on your body on a daily basis,
9:49
Speaker 4: and you don't have to go to India to do it.
9:51
Speaker 4: You can do it in your own house. And that
9:54
Speaker 4: was my whole realization that I was, like, this is
9:58
Speaker 4: very expensive treatment. You know, I have three young kids.
10:01
Speaker 4: I'm not going to live in my kids for a
10:03
Speaker 4: month to do those treatments. I gotta figure a way
10:06
Speaker 4: how I can be a Western doing it here, doing
10:09
Speaker 4: it from home with all the tools that I have.
10:15
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely resonate with that. I have two young
10:18
Speaker 3: children at home, and I'm always having to balance and
10:22
Speaker 3: juggle where am I going to prioritize their health and activities.
10:27
Speaker 3: Where am I going to do some self care and
10:30
Speaker 3: me time, and then working on my business and doing
10:34
Speaker 3: all the things and following my passion and as you said,
10:37
Speaker 3: listening to continue to develop your intuition and walk your path.
10:44
Speaker 3: And so it just takes a lot of intentionality and
10:48
Speaker 3: awareness to like cultivate that inner strength. And there's a
10:54
Speaker 3: lot of outside noise, like you said, Western culture, it's
10:57
Speaker 3: not just the physical and by alot and environmental toxins.
11:02
Speaker 3: It's just also all the distractions and the technology and
11:06
Speaker 3: the screen and all the modern conveniences that are actually
11:11
Speaker 3: taking us away from the simple quiet relaxing time, which
11:16
Speaker 3: is where that healing actually happens.
11:19
Speaker 4: Yeah.
11:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm curious Ussie, if you would mind sharing
11:24
Speaker 3: with us your personal experience of why the yoga and
11:28
Speaker 3: ir Veda tradition really spoke to you and called you
11:31
Speaker 3: and when you realized like that power of the puncha karma,
11:36
Speaker 3: why you wanted to share it with others.
11:40
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I would say that. You know, I
11:44
Speaker 4: remember I was fifteen and my neighbors were in Israel,
11:48
Speaker 4: and my neighbors were Americans, and it just came from
11:53
Speaker 4: New York and asked me to help them teach their
11:56
Speaker 4: Sun Hebrew afternoon and ended up coming friends with the
12:01
Speaker 4: parents more than taking care of the educating the sun.
12:06
Speaker 4: And they invited me to come with them on a
12:08
Speaker 4: trip to a kiboots And that was for me a
12:12
Speaker 4: very much aha moment, Like Oprah says, that was for
12:16
Speaker 4: me that knowing what does that really mean? Aha moment?
12:19
Speaker 4: Is that there's a desire yearning of something that like
12:24
Speaker 4: I've been here before, I'd done this before, I want
12:28
Speaker 4: more of this, something about this feels right. My parents
12:32
Speaker 4: there were hippies, but they were not Yogis. My parents
12:36
Speaker 4: were you know, eat meat. They would eat meters. You know,
12:39
Speaker 4: there's no meal without protein in a table. And my
12:43
Speaker 4: mom was a chef, you know, and she cooked incredible
12:46
Speaker 4: meals and pastry and all that kind of stuff. But
12:50
Speaker 4: they didn't know about wheat, grass or juice or the
12:55
Speaker 4: important of you know, lemon with water or drinking hot water.
13:00
Speaker 4: And I'm going into this environment where everyone is vegan
13:05
Speaker 4: and I'm eating a chese cake with blueberries that actually
13:09
Speaker 4: had zero cheese. And I was like extremely curious about that.
13:15
Speaker 4: And I Israel at that time was not very progressive
13:21
Speaker 4: when it comes to yoga studios or health food stores.
13:26
Speaker 4: Three years later, as God would have it, I'm moved
13:30
Speaker 4: to New York City because my dad had a business
13:33
Speaker 4: and we all moved into New York and candy stores
13:38
Speaker 4: in the late eighties nineties were like candy store for me.
13:43
Speaker 4: I would walk into a natural store and be like,
13:45
Speaker 4: oh my god, this is incredible, the abundance of you know.
13:51
Speaker 4: And then I got into my friend, who's a ballet dancer,
13:55
Speaker 4: was a macrobiotic. It was a huge microbiotic movement in
13:58
Speaker 4: New York City, and that was my first introduction again
14:03
Speaker 4: is from food. First was viganism. Then it was a
14:06
Speaker 4: microbiotic and then obviously practicing yoga in New York. For me,
14:16
Speaker 4: I went into a very traditional yoga with a younger
14:19
Speaker 4: in New York City, and Mary Don was one of
14:24
Speaker 4: my teacher, and I loved the militant energy about it,
14:30
Speaker 4: like this alignment and organization of your inner body. And
14:35
Speaker 4: I would walk in New York City, you know, getting
14:38
Speaker 4: a Jewish from integral yoga and you know, you know,
14:43
Speaker 4: walking after a class, and my whole body was just
14:47
Speaker 4: like space. But I experienced space and freedom. And it
14:53
Speaker 4: wasn't freedom because I'm popping pills and drugs and I'm
14:57
Speaker 4: dancing naked. It was a certain amount of freedom. I'm
15:01
Speaker 4: doing plan medicine and suddenly I'm feeling free or enlightened
15:05
Speaker 4: or the dm DMT experience. It was actually in my
15:10
Speaker 4: physical body being present. I felt so grounded and healthy
15:16
Speaker 4: and organized in my mind, and I think that was
15:21
Speaker 4: something I was really attracted to, and that memory stayed
15:24
Speaker 4: with me. I guess when I was trading foreign exchange
15:29
Speaker 4: and that light didn't fit my life anymore. I couldn't
15:32
Speaker 4: do getting up at four in the morning to trade
15:37
Speaker 4: Swiss frank where and then going out on with clients
15:42
Speaker 4: to drink, because that's what you do in New York
15:45
Speaker 4: City when you're in wall studio, drink alcohol and you're
15:48
Speaker 4: taking clients and then you on top of the world.
15:50
Speaker 4: Back in the nineties, it was like everybody got credit
15:53
Speaker 4: card and cars and limos and crazy life. And I
15:57
Speaker 4: was like, it doesn't fit my life. It doesn't fit
16:01
Speaker 4: My kids need to go to bed, I have to
16:03
Speaker 4: take the baths, and I'm only twenty you know, I
16:08
Speaker 4: was twenty seven and I have two kids, you know,
16:12
Speaker 4: twenty seven of two kids. I started twenty five and
16:15
Speaker 4: by twenty eight I had three kids. So it didn't
16:18
Speaker 4: fit my life. So at that point, you know, I
16:21
Speaker 4: wanted something to do. You know, I'm I'm I'm a
16:25
Speaker 4: high achiever and competitive. I want to continue learn. And
16:30
Speaker 4: I got deeper into because the sister of Ayovetda of
16:35
Speaker 4: Yogays basically are you Vetda. So if yoguys the body,
16:41
Speaker 4: the mind, the spirit, Areuveda is your life science. It's lifespan,
16:47
Speaker 4: right at all of us at one point going to
16:49
Speaker 4: want to live longer, all of us at one point
16:52
Speaker 4: going to want to age gracefully. I don't care what
16:55
Speaker 4: you're doing medically, it's none of my business. My business
17:00
Speaker 4: is to really connect to all this wisdom that is
17:06
Speaker 4: five thousand years old that our grandmothers we do like
17:12
Speaker 4: you know GHI Like when my dad saw me cooking
17:16
Speaker 4: gee and c making gi, he was like, Oh, the
17:20
Speaker 4: bed women in Israel used to put gear around their
17:23
Speaker 4: eyes because you know, the sun and they will like
17:26
Speaker 4: help them and lubricate. It was like, oh, wow, that's
17:29
Speaker 4: so cool. Or you know when I made when I
17:33
Speaker 4: made a paneer and I would take the milk and
17:36
Speaker 4: put lemon and separate the water which is the white protein,
17:40
Speaker 4: from the from the cheese. They basically the you know,
17:44
Speaker 4: separate the fat. And it was like when when my
17:47
Speaker 4: mom saw me, she was like, oh, grandma used to
17:49
Speaker 4: do that. So you're just going back into the simplicity
17:56
Speaker 4: like you said a minute ago.
18:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you for sharing that with us. And I
18:04
Speaker 3: know you mentioned that there was a challenge when you
18:07
Speaker 3: initially dove into puncha karma yourself because it involves a
18:11
Speaker 3: lot of detoxification. So could you elaborate on what that
18:16
Speaker 3: was like and how maybe people can avoid that.
18:18
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a great, great subject in a question,
18:23
Speaker 4: and I would say that I always had digestive issues,
18:31
Speaker 4: meaning it wasn't labeled anything, but I would add cramps
18:37
Speaker 4: because I didn't eat enough. I was super skinny as
18:40
Speaker 4: a kid, probably when hours climbing on trees and not eating,
18:45
Speaker 4: so I would have cramp in. You know, I had
18:48
Speaker 4: too much air, you know, we call it too much vata,
18:52
Speaker 4: which is the air element in the body, right, and
18:56
Speaker 4: that caused blowdiness and gas and all that constantly. Then
19:01
Speaker 4: then later on it is constantly in the fifteen age fifteen,
19:04
Speaker 4: constantly constantpation. Why because there's not enough oils in the body,
19:10
Speaker 4: There's not enough lubrication. Maybe I wasn't drinking enough right
19:14
Speaker 4: again another issue. And then after having three kids, I
19:19
Speaker 4: think it was so fast, having three kids, a nursing
19:22
Speaker 4: and it was a lot of stress on my body.
19:25
Speaker 4: And then I started developing. Probably at that time they
19:30
Speaker 4: didn't know what it was, but probably in the medical
19:34
Speaker 4: field you'll call it IBS or a start form of
19:37
Speaker 4: colitis practiitis, And they didn't know what it was. And
19:41
Speaker 4: it was just constantly. If I eat late, I have
19:44
Speaker 4: severe stomach ache and I have to put like a
19:46
Speaker 4: hot pack on my stomach or you know, always something
19:51
Speaker 4: going on with my digestive that I didn't really put
19:54
Speaker 4: my pulse on it. I didn't know what exactly it was.
19:58
Speaker 4: But when I did punch a karma, the good thing
20:01
Speaker 4: is it brought it to the surface. The bad thing
20:05
Speaker 4: is what do you do with it? Because they immediately
20:09
Speaker 4: hospitalized me after three months of having like bleeding, throwing
20:14
Speaker 4: up can keeping food, severe stomach ache, and they basically
20:20
Speaker 4: were run tons of tests, which is great, right, making
20:24
Speaker 4: sure it's nothing. They didn't really have a lot of
20:27
Speaker 4: diagnosis for me except that my whole digestive truck was inflamed.
20:32
Speaker 4: And maybe I have chron disease, but I'm sephardic juice
20:36
Speaker 4: juice really really don't have chron disease is more ashkenas juice,
20:42
Speaker 4: who get that? So the kind of like that was
20:46
Speaker 4: not it. And I basically was thrown home with one
20:51
Speaker 4: doctor who say, oh, you should take a really good
20:53
Speaker 4: a daphiles and you should be on medication for the
20:56
Speaker 4: rest of your life called assacole, which is an aspirin
21:00
Speaker 4: to basically cottona digest forever. And I'm like a yogi
21:05
Speaker 4: practicing all these you know, healthy pastures arsenas and eating
21:11
Speaker 4: healthy and wade grass and making sure I have good
21:15
Speaker 4: acid aphilies. And at that time I probably was I
21:21
Speaker 4: would say probably vegetarian because I went through so many
21:27
Speaker 4: and I would say that I went into self inquiry.
21:32
Speaker 4: I took three months off from work from teaching, and
21:36
Speaker 4: I got a lot of help from the community with
21:38
Speaker 4: the kids, driving them around, and I think I got
21:43
Speaker 4: even help part time help to help me with the kids.
21:46
Speaker 4: And I basically was like, I'm going to investigate it.
21:49
Speaker 4: And I got really quiet, and I figure out what
21:53
Speaker 4: really causing me to pain, And it's not really necessarily
21:57
Speaker 4: so much the food. Is having a body that is
22:01
Speaker 4: alkaline is really important, evident, you know, it's about the
22:06
Speaker 4: oja like having this you know, life force and the
22:12
Speaker 4: things that really sustain us. And I just basically learned
22:17
Speaker 4: and learned to bring the pancha karma home in a
22:22
Speaker 4: most gentle way so how to avoid getting you know,
22:28
Speaker 4: what happened to me is basically is what I want
22:32
Speaker 4: to do with my brand is basically educating people what
22:37
Speaker 4: is pancha karma? Can you take it home? Like for instance,
22:41
Speaker 4: ida bianga yesterday, This is a candle with a plate
22:48
Speaker 4: and I put oil on it. I warm the oil
22:50
Speaker 4: and I just massage the oil with those herbs. I
22:53
Speaker 4: don't take the herbs. I put them on the skin.
22:57
Speaker 4: I do a bianga probably every day, sometimes before showers,
23:02
Speaker 4: sometime after shower, sometimes before bat sometimes after. You can
23:08
Speaker 4: play with it. And I, you know, I do the clear.
23:13
Speaker 4: I have a clear nostril. I put oil in my
23:15
Speaker 4: nostril to protect and lubricate the lubricate the to lubricate
23:20
Speaker 4: the sinuses, and you know, also put prevention from getting
23:26
Speaker 4: disease and getting bacteria. I travel a lot. I want
23:29
Speaker 4: to stay healthy. I drink constantly hot water, sip on
23:34
Speaker 4: hot water all day. I learn all those drinks. And
23:38
Speaker 4: I brought those striaks home. And that's what you would
23:41
Speaker 4: do with punch of karma. You would eat a mono
23:43
Speaker 4: diet colkichery, soups and stews and things that are cooked.
23:48
Speaker 4: You refrain from dairy except ghee that you want to
23:53
Speaker 4: eat meat. You get rid of the coffee for whatever
23:58
Speaker 4: that week that you do the punch of karma. I
24:01
Speaker 4: do tongue scrape every morning to clean my tongue from
24:06
Speaker 4: the armor the toxin the coming up. And I do abianga.
24:11
Speaker 4: I also have one oils that I put on the head.
24:14
Speaker 4: I warm the same way I warm the oil the
24:17
Speaker 4: head oil that have great herbs plus lavender, and I
24:22
Speaker 4: massage my head with oil at night to bring the
24:26
Speaker 4: vata the mind, come the mind. And getting puncha karma
24:33
Speaker 4: really walk me up to realize that those self care
24:36
Speaker 4: practices is really it's slow. You know, it's slow beauty
24:41
Speaker 4: and it's low aging. It's you got to go back
24:43
Speaker 4: to slowing down. You got to bring those practices at home,
24:47
Speaker 4: even if you do one thing.
24:50
Speaker 5: That sounds amazing.
24:52
Speaker 3: And thank you for walking us through each of the
24:55
Speaker 3: steps that you personally do for your routine. And I
24:58
Speaker 3: also want to commend you on explaining how you approach
25:03
Speaker 3: the symptoms that you were feeling, because I think even
25:07
Speaker 3: the people listening they may take it with a little
25:11
Speaker 3: bit of a surprise what the doctors would tell you,
25:15
Speaker 3: and the fact that you knew to put a heat
25:17
Speaker 3: pack on your stomach, that's something that people normally would
25:20
Speaker 3: just pop some kind of pill like an antacid or
25:24
Speaker 3: something to help them digest. And even the fact that
25:27
Speaker 3: the doctors were recommending probiotics the acidophalus back then is
25:34
Speaker 3: amazing to me because even now, when I went to
25:38
Speaker 3: the doctor, had actually my own hospital scared that I
25:42
Speaker 3: was there and they prescribed me antibiotics, they basically dismissed
25:47
Speaker 3: probiotics as being helpful at all, even though the science
25:52
Speaker 3: is now supporting specific traits and multiple strains and there's
25:58
Speaker 3: a lot of evidence behind them now. And I'm not
26:02
Speaker 3: going to go into the whole yeah conversation, because it's big,
26:06
Speaker 3: it's a huge topic, and they're very problematic, and they're
26:09
Speaker 3: very overprescribed, and we really need to focus on maintaining
26:14
Speaker 3: and sustaining the flora of our body. But yeah, all
26:19
Speaker 3: these diagnoses that maybe weren't even around back in the day,
26:24
Speaker 3: and the prevalence and how frequently there they're diagnosed now,
26:28
Speaker 3: and how people just get prescribed all of these biologic
26:33
Speaker 3: and anti inflammatory and steroidal medications, and even just something
26:37
Speaker 3: as simple as aspirin. As you shared our specific forms
26:40
Speaker 3: of missalamine and other types of aspirin for drones and
26:44
Speaker 3: IBD types of disorders and all kinds of things that
26:49
Speaker 3: are going on in the gut. It just kind of
26:52
Speaker 3: goes to show you that something is going on. Why
26:57
Speaker 3: are we all coming down especially in the Western world,
27:00
Speaker 3: with all these processed foods and all of these stressors
27:04
Speaker 3: that we're dealing with, Why do we have these kinds
27:07
Speaker 3: of illnesses pop up? And there's definitely a correlation there,
27:11
Speaker 3: And I think, like you said, there is a lot
27:15
Speaker 3: of great value of going back to the ancient ways
27:18
Speaker 3: and studying what the ancient people did, including our own ancestors,
27:23
Speaker 3: and figuring out what's the disconnect? Right, where did we
27:26
Speaker 3: go from those things that used to help us maintain
27:30
Speaker 3: health and life and vitality to now everybody seems to
27:35
Speaker 3: be falling apart. With each generation, it just gets worse
27:38
Speaker 3: and worse, and we can't keep blaming, you know, is
27:43
Speaker 3: it this intervention or is it this vaccine, or is
27:46
Speaker 3: it this or is it that we really have to
27:48
Speaker 3: figure out what are all these factors and how do
27:51
Speaker 3: we mitigate them all because they actually all play a role.
27:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is so beautiful what you're saying. And the
27:59
Speaker 4: first thing that come to so much I want to
28:01
Speaker 4: say and respond, the first thing that most important. You
28:06
Speaker 4: got to become your own doctor. The realization that I
28:11
Speaker 4: got at two thousand and eight when I got so sick,
28:16
Speaker 4: was I meditated? I did a Korea for forty days
28:20
Speaker 4: and a Kundolini Korea, and I had a dream and
28:24
Speaker 4: in the dream twenty eight days within of the Korea,
28:27
Speaker 4: I had a dream that I found a doctor who
28:32
Speaker 4: gonna solve the problem for my pain and my suffering
28:36
Speaker 4: and my struggle. And when I got up, I felt
28:39
Speaker 4: so good, like the disease out of my body. And
28:42
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, who is that doctor? And I
28:44
Speaker 4: was like, you are the doctor. You are the guru.
28:49
Speaker 4: I studied thirty years with all the best gurus in
28:52
Speaker 4: the world, and you know what, the best guru is you.
28:56
Speaker 4: And the best guru is the one who teach you
28:59
Speaker 4: that you are You have all the answer within you.
29:03
Speaker 4: That's the glory you should study with now. The one
29:06
Speaker 4: would say look at me, the one would say no, no, no, home.
29:11
Speaker 4: Home is within your body. Home is in you. I
29:15
Speaker 4: mean that's my book. You know you're about to share
29:18
Speaker 4: the you know mentioned about my book. My book is
29:21
Speaker 4: about coming home. It's all about how do we come
29:26
Speaker 4: back home? Even our suffering and struggle and everything that
29:31
Speaker 4: happened to break our vessel apart is really to remind
29:36
Speaker 4: us how to go back home. When you also mentioned
29:39
Speaker 4: about the simplicity of it. Right. Our ancestor they were
29:43
Speaker 4: doing kimchi. My mother did kimchi forever. Then I go
29:47
Speaker 4: to the macrobiotic people and they do kimchi. Then you
29:51
Speaker 4: go to you know, career people have a Korean restaurant.
29:54
Speaker 4: They always did. They are you know the kimchies. You know,
29:57
Speaker 4: you can't have a meal without kinchi. She's all full
30:01
Speaker 4: of probiotic, right. Kombucha. I remember twenty or twenty five
30:05
Speaker 4: years ago, I was doing making kombucha with my friend
30:08
Speaker 4: in the kitchen. We're like working it right, so so
30:14
Speaker 4: you know, and my kids. It's so funny because my
30:17
Speaker 4: kids now said to me, oh my god, mom, you
30:19
Speaker 4: were talking about kombucha twenty five years ago, like literally,
30:22
Speaker 4: they were like babies when I was doing creating. You
30:26
Speaker 4: know the formulation in the kitchen, and it's and I
30:30
Speaker 4: think it's that's That's what I really love is that
30:34
Speaker 4: I'm not teaching anything new. I'm just bringing back this wisdom.
30:40
Speaker 4: This is five thousand years old, and all I'm doing
30:44
Speaker 4: is and making it accessible for women and men who
30:49
Speaker 4: are living a modern life. A woman like me who's traveling,
30:53
Speaker 4: I have three boys, I'm busy. You know then I young,
30:58
Speaker 4: the older you have other other things, right, You have
31:01
Speaker 4: different things when they're young, and then you have different
31:03
Speaker 4: things to deal with when they're older. And you know,
31:07
Speaker 4: I have friends, I have family. You have to take
31:10
Speaker 4: care of your community, I teach, you know. So it's
31:13
Speaker 4: it's like, how do I maintain a balanced life and
31:16
Speaker 4: a healthy life. So I keep going, so lifespan, so
31:21
Speaker 4: I can really be vibrant. So like my days, you know,
31:26
Speaker 4: started this morning with yoga. And I noticed when I
31:29
Speaker 4: practiced yoga in the morning, I was doing one post
31:31
Speaker 4: that was you know, shoulderstand. I do a lot of
31:34
Speaker 4: practice of shoulderstin lately that is supported with blankets, you know,
31:40
Speaker 4: and you know, and just relaxing and getting upside down.
31:47
Speaker 4: And I noticed when I was doing that one asana
31:50
Speaker 4: that I'm exhausted. That asana told me you exhausted. I
31:55
Speaker 4: was traveling for twenty one days. You know. It was
31:59
Speaker 4: a west coast east coast. I was training the spot
32:03
Speaker 4: people to learn to do puncha karma and to do
32:06
Speaker 4: actually a shore darin a bianga with those treatments, and
32:13
Speaker 4: you know, I come back home and you're right away,
32:16
Speaker 4: I want to keep going and doing and doing, and
32:19
Speaker 4: you got to slow down. And that practice gave me
32:22
Speaker 4: that Okay, your body is exhausted. She gave me the information.
32:26
Speaker 4: So then I ate something and I went for a
32:29
Speaker 4: little walk. It's a little cold in New York right now.
32:31
Speaker 4: It's like, okay, I'm gonna do a brisk, cold walk.
32:35
Speaker 4: And it's like then I was working, you know, and
32:38
Speaker 4: then I took a break to you know, put something
32:42
Speaker 4: on a stove in the morning that I like slow cooking.
32:45
Speaker 4: And then I had a time at two o'clock to
32:47
Speaker 4: eat before our meeting, and I took the time to
32:50
Speaker 4: just sit with silence and to eat. It was like,
32:52
Speaker 4: this is how we keep going. It's now we're going.
32:56
Speaker 4: We're going. We're going is we're doing something, and then
33:01
Speaker 4: we take a pause and we prepare the food and
33:05
Speaker 4: we breathe and we walk and we do things to
33:08
Speaker 4: keep our body healthy. That's aw yovetta. That's how you'veta.
33:13
Speaker 4: You don't have to go anywhere else. That's how you vetta.
33:16
Speaker 4: It's how you do everything. How you do one thing
33:19
Speaker 4: is how you do everything. That's how you vetta.
33:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, maintaining that rhythm of life that allows you
33:27
Speaker 3: to keep going.
33:29
Speaker 5: It's not just go, go go, it's.
33:31
Speaker 3: You have to actually make time for the slowing down,
33:34
Speaker 3: as we've been talking about. And something else I wanted
33:37
Speaker 3: to reflect to you is how you mentioned you pretty
33:40
Speaker 3: much took a sabbatical to yourself.
33:42
Speaker 5: When you got ill.
33:44
Speaker 3: And I want to say that maybe people listening may
33:47
Speaker 3: not think it's practical, you know, or they can't do
33:51
Speaker 3: it and they're too busy, but actually what you did
33:55
Speaker 3: is probably the best thing that anybody can do in
33:58
Speaker 3: your situation. And it's like the people that say they
34:01
Speaker 3: don't have time to meditate, they need meditation twice as much.
34:04
Speaker 3: It's kind of like that saying and you know, saying
34:08
Speaker 3: it is a lot easier than doing it. Of course,
34:11
Speaker 3: I know from my own experience there are truly a
34:14
Speaker 3: lot of challenges which maybe make it seem impossible to
34:17
Speaker 3: slow down. And yet again, this is the only thing
34:21
Speaker 3: that's actually going to help you to replenish and to
34:25
Speaker 3: keep going, because if you don't do it on the
34:28
Speaker 3: front end, the preventative side, you're going to have to
34:32
Speaker 3: deal with it, you know, the consequences of continuing to
34:35
Speaker 3: push through and burning yourself out are going to be
34:38
Speaker 3: probably a lot worse, and we only tend to see
34:41
Speaker 3: that in hindsight. So the message is like, we really
34:45
Speaker 3: do have to be proactive, and so thank you for
34:48
Speaker 3: sharing that with us.
34:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, thank you. I mean, in those in those two
34:53
Speaker 4: three months that I took off, I was doing chostor
34:56
Speaker 4: oil pak I put hiding pet every now I went
35:01
Speaker 4: back and started eating. Actually, you start drinking bone broth
35:06
Speaker 4: that I cooked and I learned because I would do
35:12
Speaker 4: it almost every day. I learn a certain way. You know,
35:14
Speaker 4: when you do one thing again and again and again
35:17
Speaker 4: you perfect it. It's like the Buddhist way, right, you like,
35:21
Speaker 4: how much salt and how much? Do you know this?
35:23
Speaker 4: And I put these herbs, and I put parsley, and
35:26
Speaker 4: then oh I should put deal and then oh I
35:28
Speaker 4: heard it. You should actually be with vinegar in your
35:32
Speaker 4: bone broad Oh actually I threw some eggs and then
35:36
Speaker 4: the shell of the eggs have so much calcume, and
35:38
Speaker 4: you cook it for eight hours and then oh, I
35:40
Speaker 4: should also put bones of beef and then chicken, and
35:45
Speaker 4: then you learn, and you just I created this incredible
35:48
Speaker 4: formula of bone broth, and that's all I ate for
35:52
Speaker 4: a while, literally, and because I love green juice, I
35:56
Speaker 4: would do the green, but the green had fat in it,
35:59
Speaker 4: because I really do believe that if you do have green.
36:02
Speaker 4: So basically I learned I basically and that's how I
36:06
Speaker 4: created my company. You know. Two years later, I started
36:09
Speaker 4: basically the oils in my kitchen because I was like, okay,
36:13
Speaker 4: you can take all those herbs and I hate when
36:16
Speaker 4: I go to a natural path and she shoved me
36:18
Speaker 4: with fifty you know herbs. I remember back in the days,
36:21
Speaker 4: I was working with this couple back in Katona, and
36:25
Speaker 4: that was just like constantly give me pills. I mean,
36:30
Speaker 4: oh my god. I would leave home with a box
36:33
Speaker 4: of pills and I was like, what the hell can
36:36
Speaker 4: be that wrong with me? And twenty something years old,
36:39
Speaker 4: like all I needed is maybe Omega three and multivitaminos.
36:46
Speaker 4: The bees like so much stuff. So what I basically
36:50
Speaker 4: do with my formulation is that I cooked the herbs
36:53
Speaker 4: for like three days and we make them into teas,
36:56
Speaker 4: and then we took cold press oil because now you've
36:59
Speaker 4: had we use a lot of sesame oil. It's good
37:02
Speaker 4: for the nervous system, bone, it's really really have a
37:05
Speaker 4: potent effect on the bodies like protein. And then we
37:09
Speaker 4: mix all of that and then I use essential oils
37:12
Speaker 4: to make everything smells really good. And it took me
37:14
Speaker 4: about two years basically. So after I got sick, I
37:17
Speaker 4: was like formulating and going back and forth and figuring,
37:21
Speaker 4: you know, how to get the right formulation. So like
37:25
Speaker 4: the Nostra oil, the way they make it in India,
37:28
Speaker 4: it's really really strong, and I felt like it was
37:30
Speaker 4: way too strong. We don't need that strong. So I
37:32
Speaker 4: kind of lower the amount of like certain things and
37:36
Speaker 4: worked with it. That will be really good for Western
37:41
Speaker 4: And we have one product that i've here. I happen
37:44
Speaker 4: to have it here is the face and I cream.
37:47
Speaker 4: It's called Sacred Saffron ros Ge. Again, my dad was
37:53
Speaker 4: telling me people were using gee back in the old days.
37:56
Speaker 4: We're going back to using gear around the eyes. I
38:00
Speaker 4: created breast oil because I think it's so important for
38:03
Speaker 4: woman health to really work on the lymphatic all around.
38:07
Speaker 4: It's not just the breast and a nipple, it's all around,
38:11
Speaker 4: and it's around where the time is. And you go
38:13
Speaker 4: underneath the armpit and your massage ship and you massage yourself.
38:17
Speaker 4: You also get connected to your body and your breast
38:20
Speaker 4: and if something is off, trust me, your intuition in
38:23
Speaker 4: your body would tell you when you have a connection
38:25
Speaker 4: with your body before the doctor would even know. You know,
38:28
Speaker 4: I'm not saying don't go to a doctor. I'm not
38:31
Speaker 4: against western medicine whatsoever. It saved me when I was
38:35
Speaker 4: in a critical condition, and I'm thankful for it. But
38:38
Speaker 4: the doctors will not go with your home. You will
38:41
Speaker 4: not be with you in your bedroom and in your bathroom,
38:44
Speaker 4: and you're going to need to have those tools at home.
38:48
Speaker 4: You have to have a toolbox. You have to know
38:50
Speaker 4: your body. And that's what for me, Ayovetta is It's
38:54
Speaker 4: just helped me connect deeper into my body, help me
38:59
Speaker 4: have inner dialogue, investigate, investigate, learn, Investigate on your body
39:06
Speaker 4: and your body will give you messages. And I also pray.
39:09
Speaker 4: When I don't know something, I ask and I say,
39:13
Speaker 4: show me. I want to know you know.
39:17
Speaker 5: So yeah, yeah, beautiful.
39:24
Speaker 3: I really really appreciate you sharing your own steps and
39:30
Speaker 3: how you got to formulating, and it sounds like it
39:34
Speaker 3: was a really fun process and you first had to
39:37
Speaker 3: do it for yourself before you can do it for
39:41
Speaker 3: others on a larger scale. And I completely agree with that,
39:45
Speaker 3: and that's kind of.
39:48
Speaker 5: The point too.
39:48
Speaker 3: Right, just having fun and sharing your light with others
39:52
Speaker 3: and sharing your wisdom and then surrendering because we're just human.
39:57
Speaker 5: We don't have all the answers.
40:00
Speaker 3: You just have to trust that the right things will
40:02
Speaker 3: come at the right time, and prayer or meditation or
40:07
Speaker 3: any other kind of guidance or mentors you can get
40:10
Speaker 3: along the way. Like you said, you had a lot
40:11
Speaker 3: of teachers, So this is all truly, truly important in
40:15
Speaker 3: everybody's journey. And I'm glad that you kept mentioning like
40:21
Speaker 3: your dietary journey as well, because there's so many questions
40:25
Speaker 3: around that and controversies, and you were even bringing some
40:29
Speaker 3: stuff up today with veganism or raw juices or is
40:32
Speaker 3: it macros or should we be having dairy and like
40:36
Speaker 3: there's all these questions right of what's the best type
40:39
Speaker 3: of diet? So I'm curious, you know, without opening a
40:43
Speaker 3: whole kind of worms, what is your best dietary advice
40:47
Speaker 3: and recommendation from an iervated perspective.
40:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first thing to come to me when you
40:54
Speaker 4: were speaking is and you say, I had a lot
40:56
Speaker 4: of fun. It's also my opinion of that beautiful woman.
41:00
Speaker 4: It definitely shows what's outside it's what's going on inside.
41:06
Speaker 4: You know. Beautiful is the skin radiate you have this oja.
41:13
Speaker 4: You know, even if you have a little bit white
41:15
Speaker 4: in your hair and you're great, looks great. I love
41:18
Speaker 4: women that actually don't dye the hair. I'm like, wow,
41:21
Speaker 4: this is great. It's inspiration.
41:23
Speaker 5: You know.
41:23
Speaker 4: I'm working through it right now, like thank God, I'm
41:26
Speaker 4: not that great, but I'm like, that's beauty. It's like
41:29
Speaker 4: my you know, I don't put nail polish because I
41:31
Speaker 4: want to see that the color of my nail show
41:34
Speaker 4: my health. Your hair shows your health because right the
41:40
Speaker 4: last thing that your body going to work in is
41:42
Speaker 4: the external is your hair. So if you have something
41:46
Speaker 4: going on in your body and your body going to
41:49
Speaker 4: first take care of the internal before it's going to
41:51
Speaker 4: fix the hair issue. So that just came to me
41:55
Speaker 4: as you were speaking. As far as what I eat is,
42:00
Speaker 4: I'm really in tune in my body enough to see
42:03
Speaker 4: what makes me feel good. I have low blood pressure.
42:07
Speaker 4: I'm a runner. I mean I don't run a lot,
42:10
Speaker 4: but I'm definitely have a heart of a runner. And
42:14
Speaker 4: that means that I can't do inversion for too long
42:18
Speaker 4: because I will get light headed. It means and I
42:20
Speaker 4: need a little salt in the morning, and it means
42:23
Speaker 4: that I can have an espresso. Maybe I don't want
42:28
Speaker 4: it the first thing in the morning, but it's not
42:32
Speaker 4: that bad for someone like me. What really bad about it?
42:35
Speaker 4: If I drink all day long coffee and my pitta
42:38
Speaker 4: constitution is going to be too acidic, and it's going
42:41
Speaker 4: to cost me irritability and my pitta my fire. I'm
42:45
Speaker 4: already fire going to rise even higher. So the key
42:49
Speaker 4: is I want to keep my body set thick. I
42:51
Speaker 4: want to be pretty much in a very balanced state.
42:54
Speaker 4: I'm not too hungry. I'm not too you know, but
42:57
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean you have to constantly the whole snap idea.
43:01
Speaker 4: It's your body needs a break. So I'm also conscious
43:05
Speaker 4: of that of not overeating over indulging. I'm not against wine.
43:10
Speaker 4: I think wine is food. Good wine once in a while,
43:13
Speaker 4: it's great. I'm not gonna say to you, I don't
43:16
Speaker 4: do anything. But what I do is I start to
43:20
Speaker 4: feel if I have too much alcohol in my body,
43:24
Speaker 4: it's very high in sugar and it's the worst thing
43:28
Speaker 4: for people with digestive issues. That's one other thing I
43:31
Speaker 4: discovered is in my whole research is that high sugar
43:36
Speaker 4: is the worst thing for you, and almost everything turning
43:40
Speaker 4: into sugar. Think about like milk, you know, turn into sugar.
43:45
Speaker 4: So if I do decide to drink milk, I prefer
43:48
Speaker 4: to have it raw. I prefer to have it goat milk.
43:53
Speaker 4: I prefer to have goat cheese. It's easier to digest.
43:58
Speaker 4: And I'm just you know, that's something I would have.
44:02
Speaker 4: I love having green. I don't like having too much
44:05
Speaker 4: green juices. But what it does it alkaline. You're feel
44:09
Speaker 4: in your tongue already, like this feeling of like clean,
44:12
Speaker 4: clean feeling in your body because you are more alkalined.
44:16
Speaker 4: So sometimes I do drops of chlorophyll in the morning
44:20
Speaker 4: with water because I want to I want my my acidity.
44:25
Speaker 4: I don't want to burn. Right, What happened is we're
44:29
Speaker 4: not gonna burn, and the body does you probably know
44:31
Speaker 4: even better than me, And it creates a shell of
44:35
Speaker 4: water so you don't burn your body with acidity, and
44:39
Speaker 4: then you create more fluid in your body and then
44:41
Speaker 4: you feel bloated. So if actually you lower your cidity
44:44
Speaker 4: in your body, you're gonna lose three pounds like that, right,
44:50
Speaker 4: So I don't have a lot of rules, except it's
44:54
Speaker 4: not what I take It's not what I take away,
44:57
Speaker 4: it's what I bring motel and what I really enjoy,
45:03
Speaker 4: you know, having in my body. And so it's a
45:06
Speaker 4: lot of cooked food more than raw, you know, ray
45:12
Speaker 4: is more appropriate in the summer. And even if I
45:15
Speaker 4: do a raw salad, I would have fat in it,
45:18
Speaker 4: like lots of olive oils and olives and avocado, because
45:24
Speaker 4: you want to bring the fat, you know, the fat
45:27
Speaker 4: help helps devata decrease. Yeah, so that's basically how I
45:34
Speaker 4: think when I travel. I be honest with you. I
45:37
Speaker 4: eat less because a lot of it is causing a
45:43
Speaker 4: lot of inflammation. It's a different diet, you know. And
45:48
Speaker 4: I always think about the women in Paris that I met.
45:52
Speaker 4: They eat almost everything, but very small amount. It's also
45:56
Speaker 4: about the quantity, you know. You go in Europe and
46:01
Speaker 4: you have such a small size of plates and food
46:05
Speaker 4: because it's about tasting, and here it's a humongous amount
46:10
Speaker 4: of food and it's too much to imparct your body.
46:14
Speaker 4: So to be a little bit hungry is not a problem. Yeah,
46:19
Speaker 4: just make sure you're drinking and you have the fluid
46:23
Speaker 4: the right fluid.
46:25
Speaker 5: I completely agree.
46:26
Speaker 3: From an herbal perspective, the circadian rhythm is very important.
46:31
Speaker 3: Just like we were saying, you have to rest between
46:34
Speaker 3: go go go, you also have to allow your body
46:36
Speaker 3: to rest and digest and to allow it to even
46:39
Speaker 3: get hungry rather than just stuffing it with a whole
46:43
Speaker 3: bunch of quantity of food at the wrong times of
46:48
Speaker 3: day and then snacking in between. That's way more important
46:52
Speaker 3: than actually what you're eating. And then when it comes
46:55
Speaker 3: down to what it is, there's ways to navigate what
46:58
Speaker 3: are the healthful foods, and then the form it's in,
47:01
Speaker 3: like you said, the raw versus cooked. And I tend
47:04
Speaker 3: to also recommend a lot of stews and cook foods
47:08
Speaker 3: and broths and soups for my clients because I feel
47:12
Speaker 3: like it's not enough in anybody's diet from the people
47:16
Speaker 3: that I see. So if you weren't raised that way,
47:19
Speaker 3: if you didn't come to learn erbalism in this way,
47:23
Speaker 3: you know, most people don't bat an eye lash about it.
47:28
Speaker 3: But these are the factors that are truly, truly important,
47:30
Speaker 3: And like you said, like pairing the right types of
47:33
Speaker 3: food as well, which is a little bit of the
47:35
Speaker 3: macro concept. But you know, just optimizing digestion so that
47:40
Speaker 3: we can actually get the most benefits and the least
47:43
Speaker 3: amount of detriment from the specific foods. And then on
47:47
Speaker 3: the topic of herbalism, you were also sharing that when
47:52
Speaker 3: you were prescribed a lots of herbal products that was
47:55
Speaker 3: also taxing on the body. And I also agree that's
47:58
Speaker 3: why I love putting it in and teas and tinctures
48:01
Speaker 3: like we've been talking about. And then the topical oils
48:04
Speaker 3: offer the best delivery system that you know, you don't
48:07
Speaker 3: have to keep popping things even though of course they're
48:10
Speaker 3: healthier than like popping drugs, but it can still be
48:15
Speaker 3: taxing again on your organs of metabolism and detoxification. So
48:20
Speaker 3: it's it's very genious right for a reason the way
48:23
Speaker 3: that we have topical total and iron oiling.
48:28
Speaker 4: And oiling, like my job is to teach people how
48:31
Speaker 4: to oil like oil your body like you know, oil
48:36
Speaker 4: internal oils. It's the opposite of what American diet is exactly.
48:41
Speaker 4: But I would never go and buy zero percent yoburt
48:46
Speaker 4: I just wouldn't or milk, same like drink white protein.
48:50
Speaker 4: It's better, right, Like what are you doing? And it's
48:54
Speaker 4: just like they have nothing in it. I actually really
48:57
Speaker 4: enjoy having fat. I was in California, Sons of Barbara
49:00
Speaker 4: for a punch of karma training, and I went to
49:05
Speaker 4: the one of the local supermarket and I had raw
49:11
Speaker 4: dairy and it was ro Claton. My girlfriend was a
49:14
Speaker 4: Naiveta girl. She put like the raw like a small
49:18
Speaker 4: raw cream and I was like, oh my god, like
49:24
Speaker 4: a spoon of that with a little raspberry. I was
49:26
Speaker 4: like in heaven, like, yeah, it's indulgent for me, like
49:32
Speaker 4: raw dairy. It was delicious. It was so sweet, and
49:36
Speaker 4: I was like, that's what I'm saying. I'm not I
49:38
Speaker 4: don't have like rules. I hate rules. As soon as
49:40
Speaker 4: you give me rules and tell me I should go
49:42
Speaker 4: on the diet, I eat so much more. Yeah.
49:47
Speaker 3: I think that the fat misconception versus the sugar that
49:51
Speaker 3: we also mentioned is such a huge topic, and fat.
49:55
Speaker 4: Sugar is a problem. Fat is not a problem. If
49:57
Speaker 4: you have a good fat is oh and so are
50:00
Speaker 4: done fat. And by the way, if you have fat
50:03
Speaker 4: in your diet, you'll be skinnier because you won't have
50:06
Speaker 4: the hunger. People are hungry, so they eat something too
50:11
Speaker 4: immediately because they're constantly hungry and they're not fed. And
50:15
Speaker 4: my whole thing is that we have so many sickness
50:18
Speaker 4: around us, and I know you know that there's so
50:21
Speaker 4: much sickness. Is all I'm saying is bringing people back
50:24
Speaker 4: home eating good food, fats, healthy fat, internal and external
50:30
Speaker 4: oil your body. And my whole mission is really like
50:34
Speaker 4: in the next couple of months, but coming up with
50:36
Speaker 4: subscription where we're going to make it affordable. So people
50:39
Speaker 4: are going to have a box, and in the box
50:41
Speaker 4: you're going to have the tongue script and the nostril
50:45
Speaker 4: and the silk gloves to massage the lymphatic system and
50:49
Speaker 4: warming the oil. And there's no way you're not going
50:52
Speaker 4: to be able to do it. You're gonna get the
50:53
Speaker 4: videos and you're gonna get the audible and you're basically
50:56
Speaker 4: going to go with me on a journey where I
50:58
Speaker 4: teach you, because that's what I'm getting a lot like,
51:01
Speaker 4: how do I start becoming and ivet a geek?
51:07
Speaker 3: Well, it's been an absolute pleasure to have this conversation Aussie.
51:12
Speaker 3: If you just have one more minute, I'd love to
51:14
Speaker 3: do a little rapid round with you. All right, So
51:18
Speaker 3: what's your number one advice for people that are looking
51:21
Speaker 3: to improve their quality of life right now.
51:28
Speaker 4: I mean I obviously sleep, and I would say drinking
51:33
Speaker 4: like now coming into the fall season, you know, fill
51:36
Speaker 4: up at termos with hot water and sip of it
51:39
Speaker 4: all day. That would be an incredible start. And if
51:43
Speaker 4: you can oil a couple of days a week, great, great.
51:47
Speaker 3: And then real quick, we started this conversation with puncha karmas,
51:51
Speaker 3: so can you just walk us very quickly?
51:53
Speaker 5: What are those five steps puncha Karma?
51:56
Speaker 4: Yes, I would say that oiling the body some of
52:01
Speaker 4: it is basically you know, if you start, if you're
52:04
Speaker 4: doing punch a Karma home, you basically didn't have to
52:07
Speaker 4: take off all the stimulant and he'd cooked warm diet
52:11
Speaker 4: with soups. Stay away from meat for the week, stay
52:16
Speaker 4: away from alcohol, coffee just for one week. If you
52:19
Speaker 4: have to have the coffee, just do green tea instead,
52:23
Speaker 4: and start oiling the body on your daily basis. The
52:27
Speaker 4: you know, maybe buy the Manifest or the Shine body oil,
52:31
Speaker 4: oil your whole body, get the hair oil, oil your head,
52:35
Speaker 4: you know, put planel on your belly with hot packs
52:38
Speaker 4: with the belly oil that I have that are castoro
52:41
Speaker 4: in it, and just start punching karma at home, make
52:45
Speaker 4: lots of soup for the whole week, drink lots of
52:48
Speaker 4: hot water, lots of vegetables that are in season would
52:53
Speaker 4: be wonderful, and cook them. You know, last last night
52:56
Speaker 4: it took wild d m. I put coconut water some
52:59
Speaker 4: salt in the oven and that was like such a delicious,
53:03
Speaker 4: you know, dessert. And you don't need to be hungry. Actually,
53:09
Speaker 4: when you eat, you lose weight.
53:12
Speaker 5: Great, great message.
53:13
Speaker 3: And what's a fun hobby or some fun fact about yourself.
53:20
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm just super passionate about life. I mean, partially,
