  Welcome to authentic living with Roxanne, a place where we have as conversations about
• 0:08
  things that really matter in our lives.
• 0:12
  And now here's your host, Roxanne Durgesh.
• 0:38
  Hi, everyone.
• 0:39
  It's Roxanne Durabaj.
• 0:40
  Thanks for tuning in again this week.
• 0:42
  This week, I have a very special young lady that I met almost I think it's about a year
• 0:47
  ago, Carrie, that we met at, Andrea Monka's, training in Mississauga.
• 0:53
  So I was privileged too.
• 0:55
  I think we were seated next week.
• 0:57
  Oh, no.
• 0:57
  I think it was the accent.
• 0:58
  Let's be fair.
• 0:59
  I
• 0:59
  think accent.
• 1:02
  And that's and we got to know each other, through the 2 day training, that we had, I
• 1:06
  think, was last November.
• 1:08
  So I asked Carrie to come in onto the podcast because she is a health coach.
• 1:14
  And, you know, her story's fascinating, but I'm I'm gonna read her Bio and then we'll go from
• 1:20
  there.
• 1:21
  She's, originally born and raised in, Melbourne, Australia.
• 1:24
  She moved to Canada back in 2012 after going through struggles with things like depression.
• 1:33
  Adult acne, psoriasis, body to morphic issues, which is basically body image issues, self self
• 1:39
  esteem and confidence.
• 1:42
  And she wanted to go out there and kind of discover who she who who was I really, and
• 1:46
  create a healthier, more empowered life for herself.
• 1:49
  What better way to do that than on a loan on the other side of the world like everybody
• 1:53
  does?
• 1:57
  Sure.
• 1:57
  Have to dive deep.
• 1:58
  That's for sure.
• 1:59
  She trusted the universe in Dovin, quit smoking, cut back and drinking, changed her
• 2:04
  diet, increased her exercise, and made some awesome, super healthy friends that started
• 2:10
  going after what was important, and she met this amazing.
• 2:14
  Then in the process, which we'd love to hear more about.
• 2:18
  After going through her transformation, she started working with women who are busy,
• 2:22
  stressed out and, you know, how many people out there are in that lane.
• 2:26
  I I can, attest that I've been there many times and and vastly back and forth.
• 2:31
  And she's assisted them in creating a healthier lifestyle that fit it in around their
• 2:36
  schedules.
• 2:37
  Life should be balanced and doing it alone.
• 2:40
  Like you said, you shouldn't have to do it alone.
• 2:43
  Since moving, to Toronto, she does yoga frequently, she's on the Toronto Food scene,
• 2:49
  and she does.
• 2:51
  Actually, I just clicked on her Instagram, and she was making the most amazing soup So maybe
• 2:57
  she'll tell us more about that.
• 2:58
  And, she makes the most amazing smoothies.
• 3:02
  She says, these are her life.
• 3:04
  So, Carrie, welcome, to authentic living with Roxanne.
• 3:07
  Thank you so much.
• 3:09
  So how have you been?
• 3:10
  I see you've been, you've been home which looked amazing.
• 3:13
  It looked like you had a fantastic time visiting your family at home.
• 3:17
  Oh, yes.
• 3:18
  I was back in, I spent 7 weeks actually in Bali, which was amazing.
• 3:25
  I went there and completed an Iovatic yoga certification.
• 3:30
  Just to obviously dive a little deeper and add on to my current practices and qualification
• 3:36
  and then I went back home to Melbourne for 2 weeks, and spent time there because I have a 15
• 3:43
  month old little nephew.
• 3:45
  Who is into everything right now and driving my sister.
• 3:49
  I shouldn't say driving her crazy, but keeping her on her toes.
• 3:53
  So, yeah, it was really nice to be back.
• 3:56
  And, but, you know, it's funny.
• 3:57
  It's like, everyone was like, why did you leave now?
• 4:00
  You should have left in January, February.
• 4:03
  When the weather got really bad, but it's funny being back.
• 4:06
  It's really it's nice even though the weather was amazing away.
• 4:08
  It's, you know, I think it's always good and exciting to come back with a fresh perspective
• 4:14
  and to be able to jump and sort of dive in with a creative flare if that makes sense.
• 4:19
  Oh, absolutely.
• 4:20
  Now Let's let's kinda talk about, your journey.
• 4:24
  It would just been quite interesting.
• 4:26
  And when I had the privilege of spending some time with with you.
• 4:29
  You had shared us a bit about some of the stomach issues you'd had and things like that.
• 4:33
  So tell people kind of your path, kinda back in Australia, I know you used to I I believe you
• 4:38
  used to run night clubs or something like that.
• 4:40
  Yeah.
• 4:41
  Yeah.
• 4:41
  And kinda and now she's a flight attendant with, is it Air Canada?
• 4:47
  Yeah.
• 4:47
  Okay.
• 4:48
  So she's kind of done that.
• 4:49
  And in this, she's also done the health coaching, which is fascinating.
• 4:53
  So tell us a little bit about your path and kind of what was happening to you that really
• 4:58
  made you think, you know, I need a change.
• 5:02
  Yeah.
• 5:03
  For sure.
• 5:03
  So the queen ages of 20 1 26, I was working as an events organizer for a series of bars and
• 5:13
  nightclubs in Melbourne, where at a wonderful company.
• 5:18
  However, I think, you know, being a part of that scene and always being in the social scene
• 5:25
  with you know, drinking and all all of that.
• 5:27
  Although I was taking care of myself and the fitness end of things, there was so many other
• 5:33
  areas of my health that weren't being taken care of.
• 5:36
  And I think for during that period, you know, I had no idea for myself, that my actions had an
• 5:45
  effect on what was happening on my external world.
• 5:48
  I was oblivious to the fact that It was me that controlled what was happening.
• 5:54
  It had no idea what Mindbody's soul connection meant.
• 5:58
  So what had happened was, like, I was eating the incorrect foods for my body type, eating a
• 6:05
  lot of foods that I was intolerant to you know, the amount of sugar that comes through alcohol,
• 6:11
  I smoked cigarettes.
• 6:13
  My my body just started literally shutting down.
• 6:16
  I was sitting at my desk one day at work, and I looked down at my legs.
• 6:19
  It was summer, and I saw this, like, look like a rash on my legs.
• 6:23
  And I was thinking, how is that?
• 6:25
  I thought maybe it's a heat rash or something.
• 6:27
  And after a week, it still hadn't gone away.
• 6:29
  I went to the dermatologist, and they were like, yeah.
• 6:32
  You have psoriasis that it just flared up and broken out on the trunk of my body, and all
• 6:37
  over my legs.
• 6:39
  So at the time as well, like, I was just my body was frust.
• 6:43
  I was having panic attacks, anxiety attacks.
• 6:47
  I would frequently get adult acne on my chin on my back.
• 6:53
  You know, sometimes you just think it's it's normal that I don't know.
• 6:57
  These are just symptoms that, you know, you go through.
• 7:00
  Sometimes in your life.
• 7:02
  And after using a whole bunch of creams and using UV light therapy, it did go away a little
• 7:09
  bit.
• 7:11
  But it it it ended up coming back when I moved to Canada.
• 7:14
  So what had happened with us sort of been a place where I was watching a lot of my friends
• 7:19
  get married, have babies, really growing and expanding themselves as people.
• 7:23
  And I was just like, I don't understand this, but I'm I'm stuck and I really wasn't aware or
• 7:33
  didn't have the tools per se to go for what I wanted because I was so mentally clouded.
• 7:38
  Everything was cloudy.
• 7:39
  It was just survival mode.
• 7:41
  And I said, you know what?
• 7:43
  I'm just at a point.
• 7:44
  I have to take a risk.
• 7:45
  I sold everything.
• 7:46
  I sold my car, sold on my furniture, all of my clothes, and I just knew that I had to step
• 7:51
  away from the life that I had.
• 7:52
  It wasn't getting me any closer to being a happy empowered version of myself.
• 7:58
  So I left everything that was secured to me.
• 8:00
  My bosses were please don't leave.
• 8:02
  We'll give you a pay rise.
• 8:03
  I'm like, it's not about money anymore.
• 8:05
  So it's like, it's time for me to go and find myself.
• 8:08
  Because I just don't even know who I am.
• 8:11
  And the interesting thing is that it was to everybody else, you know, it looked like I had
• 8:16
  everything.
• 8:17
  You know, I had this fun, great job, amazing friends, amazing family.
• 8:21
  But something was missing for me on the inside.
• 8:24
  So I've never been to Canada before.
• 8:28
  But I'd already lived in England, and, it was a 2 year working visa at the time.
• 8:33
  I was able to get in Canada.
• 8:34
  So I thought, you know what?
• 8:35
  I'm just gonna take this first.
• 8:37
  I'm gonna go there and see, what doors and opportunities open up.
• 8:44
  And I really just surrendered myself, Roxanne, to the universe.
• 8:46
  I was like, I trust, numb number 1.
• 8:50
  I'm a good talker, so I trusted no matter what.
• 8:53
  I'd be able to make good friends, and that I did.
• 8:57
  And that just everything would fall into place.
• 8:59
  I just trusted my guidance system.
• 9:01
  So It was pretty full on because I had worked out for myself that I was suffering from
• 9:07
  depression, like, probably about 3 weeks before I left.
• 9:11
  It was a self realization.
• 9:13
  I never would have thought as myself as someone that was depressed.
• 9:18
  And then all my family were like, yeah, we didn't wanna say anything.
• 9:22
  We didn't wanna upset you.
• 9:23
  And, yeah, so it's pretty hard.
• 9:25
  When I came here to Canada, I was really working through a lot of that stuff on my own.
• 9:31
  I think sometimes when, you know, you have that chance to sort of step back and let go of
• 9:37
  things that that self realization really comes into place.
• 9:41
  So when I arrived here in Canada and my psoriasis have played up again, I'd spent,
• 9:48
  like, about a $1000 on creams and stuff and doctors, still nothing changed.
• 9:56
  I had the opportunity of meeting my current partner.
• 10:00
  We've been together for 7, you know, coming up to 7 years.
• 10:03
  And when I met him, he suffers from a skin condition for a bit of Lego, and he had said to
• 10:10
  me, you can't go to a regular but it's not gonna fix it.
• 10:14
  You need to go to a naturopath, and I thought to myself, that's a naturopath couldn't do at
• 10:20
  the time.
• 10:21
  So I go to the naturopathy.
• 10:23
  I was telling her all of my symptoms, and I'm like, I can't stop crying.
• 10:26
  I'm bloated.
• 10:27
  I can't stop eating.
• 10:28
  Sugar cravings, psoriasis, acne.
• 10:32
  I I had gained a lot of weight as well.
• 10:34
  I mean, that had a lot to do with the food that I was eating at the time.
• 10:39
  And, the naturopath had a big smoke on her face when I told her my symptoms, and and I was
• 10:44
  like, are you laughing at me?
• 10:47
  She was like, no, I'm not laughing at you.
• 10:51
  I just, I think I know what's wrong with you.
• 10:53
  So I had a thing called, it was a candida overgrowth.
• 10:58
  I had a thing called leaky gut, which is basic a thinning of the lining of the wall and the
• 11:04
  intestines where everyone has a certain amount of yeast can be there in their stomach, but,
• 11:09
  often at times it will flare up.
• 11:11
  If it's not balanced and you're maybe not eating the best of foods, a lot of sugars and
• 11:15
  carbs.
• 11:17
  So it had just red.
• 11:19
  Bless you.
• 11:19
  Thank you.
• 11:21
  It had wreaked, havoc in my body, which was what was causing the psoriasis and acne and
• 11:27
  whole bunch of symptoms that I was going through.
• 11:30
  She put me on what's called an elimination diet.
• 11:34
  And 3 weeks later, the psoriasis was gone.
• 11:39
  Within 6 weeks, I had dropped about 7 to 8 kilos, which is insane.
• 11:44
  Yeah.
• 11:45
  That's a lot.
• 11:45
  Sorry.
• 11:45
  We're going kilos 2 point £2 to the kilo.
• 11:49
  Like like £15 or something.
• 11:51
  Yeah.
• 11:51
  About £15.
• 11:54
  And, like, I was sleeping, like, 7 hours a night before that.
• 11:58
  I was sleeping, like, 12 hours a night.
• 11:59
  Still waking up tired.
• 12:02
  And that was it Roxanne after I realized the power of food and the body.
• 12:07
  That was 6 years ago.
• 12:08
  That's when everything changed, and I knew that I had to help other women.
• 12:14
  And men don't I'm not, you know, where our our bodies are very similar to, so technically,
• 12:19
  like, I tend to work a lot more with women, have worked with men I'm not opposed to working
• 12:24
  with men, but, that's sort of the path that I've taken and So that's where I am today.
• 12:32
  Yeah.
• 12:32
  Just giving back because, I think when you go through an experience and and the funniest
• 12:39
  thing was, I was like telling everyone, did you guys know the power of food in the body?
• 12:44
  And I did some paperwork looking at me, like,
• 12:50
  Yeah.
• 12:50
  You're so probably so the this this whole path, really, was something that's was new for you.
• 12:59
  You hadn't really focused on food before.
• 13:03
  What in in your upbringing, it wasn't something that was really focused on, or was it something
• 13:08
  that you did grow up with certain good foods, but you or you didn't like it?
• 13:12
  Well, here's the funny thing is that My mom worked for Weight Watchers for 27 years as a
• 13:18
  lecturer.
• 13:20
  The thing with the Weight Watchers method is they focus on the amount of calories to lose
• 13:26
  weight.
• 13:26
  It's not necessarily the nutrients in food.
• 13:30
  So, My mentality of things for the longest time was eat food to lose weight, not necessarily
• 13:38
  worrying about the nutrients that you were getting from food.
• 13:44
  So with a lot of the training that I did, it was I would keep my food very simple.
• 13:49
  And, you know, it'd be like chicken and avocado that I'd eat for dinner, but the thing is I was
• 13:53
  drinking soy like, I use number 1.
• 13:55
  Soy was not a good thing for my body.
• 13:57
  Like, I was still having bread and dairy and things like that, which for my unique body
• 14:02
  type, it just wasn't, taking it very well.
• 14:06
  So it wasn't so much that I was out getting top of bars and chips and and and sort of letting
• 14:11
  loose to that degree.
• 14:14
  And and that can be the problem with marketing and advertising of food products with people
• 14:21
  that are thinking constantly about the weight loss aspect as opposed to how does food make me
• 14:27
  feel?
• 14:27
  Does it give me energy?
• 14:28
  Does it take away?
• 14:29
  Does it make me tired?
• 14:31
  Am I getting all the nutrients so that my body can function properly.
• 14:35
  And this is the problem because everyone's just thinking on the external, and they can tend to
• 14:41
  forget about what's happening on the internal.
• 14:43
  So definitely because I think if you think of a lot of the food companies and the marketing, or
• 14:50
  the things that you see all over social, it's about, low fats, right?
• 14:54
  You hear this whole concept, and, I mean, which has created such a revolution, which is
• 15:01
  diametrically opposed to where, I think, health of the baby is.
• 15:04
  Right?
• 15:04
  It's about, feeding your body to feed your brain, but a lot of people go to the the
• 15:09
  consumption element, like you're saying, oh, I shouldn't be above a certain amount of
• 15:12
  calories.
• 15:13
  Mhmm.
• 15:13
  And they watch that versus kinda thinking, what what am I putting in my body, which is kinda
• 15:18
  what what you're seeing.
• 15:20
  Yeah.
• 15:21
  100%.
• 15:22
  And, you know, I think as well.
• 15:27
  What happens is when when it comes to counting calories is that and and mind you, I'm I'm not,
• 15:34
  you know, there may be certain times in people's life where that's important,
• 15:38
  especially if they're, you know, suffering disease.
• 15:42
  And the doctors are asking them, like, we need you to stick to.
• 15:45
  So in certain circumstances, and I'm not sort of taking away, the importance that that may
• 15:52
  hold, in certain periods of people's lives, but as a general point, what ends up happening is
• 15:58
  when we come from a place of deprivation, as humans, we like to be a little naughty and
• 16:04
  rebel, and we don't like being told what to do.
• 16:08
  So what happens is if you're told you can't make this, you can't do that, you can never
• 16:14
  have a glass of wine, you can never have a little bit of chocolate, people end up
• 16:17
  bingeing, and then they end up going the other way.
• 16:20
  So for me, personally, I have a 80% 20% rule you need to leave 20% room for play when it
• 16:27
  comes to food because sometimes there is just, there are certain foods that your body's
• 16:33
  calling for that needs nourishment.
• 16:36
  And it's important that you have that.
• 16:38
  Otherwise, you just end up diving down the deep end, and it can be a long spiral down.
• 16:44
  So kind of tell me it used when women let's see an average woman comes to because I'm sure a
• 16:49
  lot of people list thing or saying, okay, you know, what's different?
• 16:54
  Right?
• 16:54
  Like, when you see, let's say someone comes to their, you know, mid mid thirties, early
• 16:58
  forties kind of thing, middle aged woman.
• 17:02
  And she's struggling.
• 17:03
  Maybe she's top I'm I'm gonna assume this is maybe the I'm tired.
• 17:07
  Probably got about £10 I'd like to lose.
• 17:11
  You know, I'm I'm fine that I, you know, I I can work for a bit, but then I'd have a drop in
• 17:16
  I I could think of time Like, I get a drop in in energy, those types of things.
• 17:21
  What's what what kind of where where do you go with Pete?
• 17:23
  Someone like that?
• 17:25
  Because I
• 17:25
  hear you talking a lot about body type, which I'm interested in.
• 17:28
  I'm sure the people listening might be also, interested in that.
• 17:33
  For sure.
• 17:34
  So, there are so many sort of different modalities all over the world from different
• 17:40
  cultures.
• 17:41
  With, how one would go about, you know, sort of eating or losing weight and especially pending
• 17:49
  sort of where you're from.
• 17:51
  So, there's a couple of things as well because being in Toronto here and it being this like,
• 17:57
  beautiful cultural melting pot, which is what I love so much about the city is depending where
• 18:02
  you're from, often, especially if you're born in other countries, your body type can be used
• 18:07
  to eating certain foods that are not natural to that region, but all of a sudden, you know, now
• 18:12
  we're living here in Canada, and you can just about have access set any kind of food at any
• 18:18
  time of the year.
• 18:18
  And the thing that people need to realize it's really important as well is to eat typically
• 18:25
  what's naturally grown in the regions for that certain time of year.
• 18:30
  Like, there's certain times that it's not normal to be eating mangoes in the middle of,
• 18:35
  winter as an example in the middle of Canada.
• 18:37
  Maybe if you're down in Jamaica, it might be normal to eat that.
• 18:40
  So, because we have access to all of these different foods and everyone's body types are
• 18:46
  uniquely different, which according to the ayurvedic tradition, it's really cool.
• 18:53
  There's, ways to find out maybe what types of foods you should be eating for your body type.
• 18:58
  That's just one method that I can sort of take through people so that they can learn, sort of
• 19:05
  what kinds of foods they should be eating.
• 19:07
  So what I do when I'm with a client, there's a couple of things that I need to really sort of
• 19:12
  strip back and learn about the person because depending what you do for a job, whether you've
• 19:16
  got children, Like, do you fly a lot for work?
• 19:20
  Everyone's lifestyles now are just so different that that needs to be taken into consideration.
• 19:26
  People's goals need to be taken into consideration.
• 19:30
  You know, the stress that they're taking on needs to be taken into consideration.
• 19:35
  And I also think, sort of, especially with Western Society, it's go go go.
• 19:43
  It's just constant stress.
• 19:45
  Like, always gotta be moving.
• 19:47
  And I think typically where people are constantly thinking, okay.
• 19:52
  So I've gotta do high intensity workouts and I've gotta go hard at the gym or hang on.
• 19:58
  Someone's told me I'm gonna do this keto diet or this paleo diet.
• 20:03
  And this this is where I'm so overwhelmed and I struggle with it because if you don't sort of
• 20:14
  deconstruct and understand all these different factors about yourself.
• 20:19
  You can spend years like, years trying to work out what the right thing to do for you is if
• 20:27
  you're not working with someone who is a professional that can help you gets straight to
• 20:32
  the point of what's missing because it's not just about food, and it's not just about
• 20:36
  movement.
• 20:37
  There are so many things that come into play when it comes to weight loss.
• 20:41
  So I hope that's sort of answered your question.
• 20:43
  Yeah.
• 20:43
  So tell me a bit about stress.
• 20:45
  Like, when you talk about stress.
• 20:47
  Are you looking for strategies, that that are conducive to the body person's body type to
• 20:54
  help them kind of manage their stress along with figure out the foods are best tailored for
• 20:59
  them.
• 20:59
  So you're looking at, like, an overall strategy, really.
• 21:03
  Absolutely.
• 21:04
  So another thing, like, you know, I'll I'll give you sort of like a a little sort of tip
• 21:10
  here which, you know, a lot of people may be unaware of, but it Like, what happens is for a
• 21:16
  lot of people, they're eating, you know, maybe they're not taking a proper lunch break or
• 21:21
  they're eating in between meetings.
• 21:23
  Or they're skipping meals.
• 21:25
  What ends up happening is when we eat and the stress responses on, which is for most of us
• 21:32
  because, you know, they're running in between, like, something like that.
• 21:36
  It's like not allowing the body time to act fully digest assimilate all the nutrients,
• 21:42
  because it takes the brain like 20 minutes to acknowledge when we're full.
• 21:46
  Most people eating their food between 2 to 3 minutes.
• 21:50
  It's going down so fast.
• 21:51
  Disrupt responses on.
• 21:53
  That's when people end up with indigestion.
• 21:56
  Brieflots, and it doesn't allow the metabolism to break the food down accordingly.
• 22:02
  So when you're constantly eating like that, what happens is the body ends up showing it as
• 22:06
  fat because it doesn't necessarily also know when is it gonna get its next meal and its
• 22:11
  metabolism hasn't had the time to properly yeah, digest the food of what we're eating.
• 22:18
  So, you know, even something so small is allowing yourself you know, 15 to 20 minutes
• 22:26
  just to sit back without flipping through your social media and reading a book and just
• 22:31
  relaxing and taking some deep breaths.
• 22:33
  That in itself will do wonders, but nobody teaches people this.
• 22:37
  You don't learn it at the gym, and you don't necessarily learn at that school or through
• 22:42
  some other education.
• 22:43
  So there there are a lot of sort of mindful activities that come into bringing the stress
• 22:53
  down so that the body can do what it's meant to do without feeling like it's constantly in this
• 22:59
  place of thought.
• 23:01
  Right.
• 23:01
  And, you know, and a lot of people would say that's all well and good, but how do I, you
• 23:06
  know, that the objection you might get is how am I gonna do it?
• 23:09
  But you're right.
• 23:10
  If it's if it becomes a habit that, you know, I'm in between meetings and I'm gonna grab
• 23:15
  something here or there.
• 23:16
  Oh, geez.
• 23:17
  I forgot to eat today.
• 23:18
  So I'm gonna what happens is you and I'm sure you see a lot of people saying that they eat a
• 23:22
  lot at night because her body's still needing the nutrients versus eat throughout the day.
• 23:28
  I know if I if I keep a pretty steady routine eating And at night, I'm I'm fine.
• 23:33
  Right?
• 23:33
  I might need a little snack, but if I haven't eaten all day and you're kind of finally, your
• 23:38
  body's still saying I need more.
• 23:40
  I need more.
• 23:40
  Kinda and then that's when you stop to after all the stress, you know, you're just kinda
• 23:44
  slightly slowing down.
• 23:46
  Oh, yeah.
• 23:47
  Yeah.
• 23:47
  And it's especially at nighttime for people.
• 23:49
  It an opportunity for them to stop and maybe eat something that's really pleasurable.
• 23:54
  So that's where people tend to, you know, eat the chips or chocolate or have a glass of wine
• 23:58
  in of the TV because that's their that's their moment.
• 24:01
  But, when you when you understand what it is that you should be eating for you, you should
• 24:08
  be getting enough sort of nutrients during during the day so that at nighttime, you're not
• 24:12
  ravenous because you've had your healthy fats fibrin protein during the day.
• 24:17
  And and it does.
• 24:18
  It takes planning, but people, you know, people need to understand that it's investing in you.
• 24:24
  You're the one that the benefits.
• 24:26
  I understand it's hard.
• 24:27
  Like, it's difficult life's busy, but when it's it's like anything, when you put money in to a
• 24:34
  really good investment account, you're going to continue to do it.
• 24:37
  So when you start seeing how your body responds to eating these healthy foods, and your
• 24:43
  energies through the roof, you know, the serotonin's pumping through the body.
• 24:46
  Like, you just you're on this high.
• 24:48
  You're feeling amazing.
• 24:49
  You're like, why would I go back to eating that way?
• 24:52
  When it was just making me feel lethargic and wasn't sleeping very well.
• 24:56
  So, it's all about really like getting clear on what it is that you should be doing for you,
• 25:06
  and then it's all about taking really small bite sized little changes.
• 25:12
  You can't just go in and think you can do it all at once because your brain will load up and
• 25:16
  go, woah.
• 25:17
  Woah.
• 25:17
  Woah.
• 25:18
  There's too much going on here.
• 25:20
  It really is it's, you know, it's taken me the better part of 6 years to get me to where I am
• 25:26
  today.
• 25:27
  And it's a journey.
• 25:29
  Like, anything.
• 25:29
  It really is.
• 25:30
  So give give me some of your top
• 25:37
  errors that you see people making when they when they come to you.
• 25:39
  Right?
• 25:40
  And they say, oh, I've been doing this for years, and it's, you know, and and you go, oh,
• 25:43
  goodness.
• 25:43
  Like, oh, there's a good top things that you're saying.
• 25:46
  You go, okay.
• 25:46
  Whatever you do, don't do these things off the bat.
• 25:50
  Can you think of a couple?
• 25:55
  Things that people do.
• 25:56
  I would say, I mean, you mentioned it before about the whole low fat because it's loaded up.
• 26:03
  I think a lot of the time, what people think is healthy because of marketing and advertising,
• 26:08
  I, you know, people drinking pot diet.
• 26:12
  Like, full of us pertain like this stuff because people are thinking art, but it doesn't
• 26:19
  have sugar in it, but I mean, I've mentioned I was on, like, another talk and a lady was
• 26:25
  asking the word about diet coke, and I hope I really didn't insult the lady, but I I just
• 26:29
  said I wouldn't consume anything that would clean my rings or a toilet.
• 26:33
  It's just people, like, you need to think like, my mom in house, Diet Coke, and, caffeine free
• 26:42
  diet coke was the thing for years and, like, know, the low fat yogurts, these are some of
• 26:46
  the things that come to mind, and it's like you're better off having full fat.
• 26:50
  A 110%.
• 26:53
  You know, and and I think it's easier to see as well for me, like, you know, people who are
• 27:00
  maybe suffering eczema and psoriasis and things like that.
• 27:04
  Now that I have a better understanding, because does it all diseases start in the gut.
• 27:09
  And, when we nourish our stomachs, and we looked after the the flora in our stomachs.
• 27:18
  It's a lot of the time when I see people who are suffering from a lot of skin irritation.
• 27:23
  If I notice or become aware of some of the things that they're eating, that maybe someone
• 27:28
  else is told that then that it's okay.
• 27:30
  You know, it's sort of like, yeah, might wanna might wanna tweak that a little bit just to
• 27:35
  help them.
• 27:36
  Yeah.
• 27:37
  I've but I would say the, I would say the, low fat thing is.
• 27:41
  Low fat is a big thing.
• 27:43
  And, when you say about flora in your in your tummy or your guts, are there things that you
• 27:49
  suggest, of course, good eating, right, like you heard I also hear about now I know a lot
• 27:53
  about macronutrients, like, you know, and because I'm the type that, I mean, go go go go
• 28:00
  go, but then now I try to think about having more fruits and, you know, like nuts and just
• 28:05
  having stuff in my car.
• 28:08
  In my in my in my in my, in my, briefcase, in my laptop bag, like, little, like, bags of,
• 28:14
  like, like, you know, like nuts and stuff like that or, you know, just because I know
• 28:18
  sometimes I'm stuck.
• 28:19
  Right?
• 28:19
  Like, if I'm if I'm booked solid with clients, sometimes I'm 6, 7 hours without the ability to
• 28:25
  really stop.
• 28:26
  Right?
• 28:27
  And So even being able to say, okay, take 5 minutes have something, but that takes
• 28:31
  planning.
• 28:32
  And I want you want you to talk, about planning because that you know, for myself and I have a
• 28:38
  son, as you know, and I look at my activities and his activities and kind of what we used to
• 28:44
  do to get him back and forth off hockey ranks and just all over, and you I would often see
• 28:49
  parents and the kids and they always had fast food bags in their hands.
• 28:56
  Right?
• 28:57
  So I know prep always for me because I always my son refuses to eat fast food.
• 29:03
  He and I thought there is a god.
• 29:05
  Yes.
• 29:05
  There is.
• 29:06
  Good for him.
• 29:08
  But I always was, you know, not into it anyway, but I think but it's still a lot of work.
• 29:13
  But it's not that it's a lot of work cooking.
• 29:15
  It's the prep I find before.
• 29:18
  So what kind of tips do you give people that help busy families that have 2 or 3 kids?
• 29:23
  Like, one kid's on one rink.
• 29:24
  One's kids are about to go to dance.
• 29:26
  The other is about to be picked up from soccer, like, it's dizzying and fast when you think
• 29:31
  about, and and you did learn a lot with women or mothers like me that are saying, how do I
• 29:35
  how do I do this?
• 29:37
  Yeah.
• 29:37
  How do I do it?
• 29:38
  Yeah.
• 29:40
  A couple of tips from my end.
• 29:41
  And and, you know, first off, I have to say, I applaud parents and especially mothers, the
• 29:48
  caregivers of the house.
• 29:50
  I don't personally have children, but I have worked with a lot of clients that do some of
• 29:55
  the things that, have definitely that we've looked at.
• 29:58
  Because the hard thing that can happen is you've got one child that'll eat this, one that
• 30:02
  won't eat that, and And then sometimes it's just overwhelming.
• 30:06
  And then maybe sometimes the kids don't end up eating it, and and that can be very frustrating
• 30:11
  when when you're paying and spending all that loving time, putting energy into cooking the
• 30:16
  food.
• 30:16
  So, batching is is huge.
• 30:20
  So when meal planning batching so that you have food, like, let's say, like, as an example, the
• 30:28
  soup that I did That will last me the next 3 to 4 days.
• 30:32
  I just made a massive thing of it.
• 30:36
  I looked for simplification, simplifying things to make it as easy as possible.
• 30:42
  So, you know, especially like now that we're in the winter season, it's like if anyone has
• 30:47
  crock pots, making soups or big batches of things that you can put in containers that you
• 30:52
  can put in the freezer.
• 30:54
  So especially if moms are out and they're taking their kids of sports.
• 30:58
  If, you know, you know, wifey or dads at home or whatever it may be, or vice versa, that it's
• 31:05
  like, hey, there's stuff in the freezer, put it out, bang it in the oven, you're good to go.
• 31:11
  I typically, for myself, it's like, you know, my partner and, he's a pilot as well.
• 31:18
  So we're constantly, you know, on the go.
• 31:21
  So exactly just as you said, in terms of, like, having mixed nuts, actually, I wish to sort of
• 31:27
  see.
• 31:27
  We have an array in the kitchen of just jars full of seeds, the nuts, and everything that we
• 31:33
  need so we can we can see when we need to sort of top it up, but I'll bring, you know, with me
• 31:39
  when I'm traveling.
• 31:40
  It's like mixed nuts, you know, I'll do like Cheers seed puddings and when I make that for
• 31:45
  breakfast, I will do four of them so that when I wake up in the morning, I've got my Cheers
• 31:50
  seed putting with my coconut yogurt and my blue berries.
• 31:54
  It's already in the jar.
• 31:55
  I pull it out, and it's ready to go.
• 31:58
  Going forward thinking of like, simplifying.
• 32:02
  You don't have to make it super fancy and over the top.
• 32:04
  And to be honest, if kids are old enough, parents should be telling them to get in the
• 32:09
  and then start learning for themselves.
• 32:11
  I I think that, you know, when I I learned cooking at school, and, you know, every now and
• 32:18
  then, mom and dad would be like, you know how to cook, get in the kitchen?
• 32:22
  I actually recently just, taught RJ how to he likes fit basic.
• 32:27
  He's very basic.
• 32:28
  It's, you know, but it's quick.
• 32:29
  It's like a chicken breast.
• 32:30
  I said, you know what?
• 32:31
  Here's a deal.
• 32:32
  Here's a chicken breast.
• 32:33
  It's thought you try it.
• 32:35
  Right?
• 32:35
  Because, you know, and then sitting there.
• 32:37
  I I didn't do it for him, and I just said, you know, you do it on low.
• 32:40
  Just a little bit of spices, a little bit of olive oil.
• 32:42
  He's seen me do it a million times.
• 32:44
  And then I said, you're just needing the middle to be opaque or solid.
• 32:49
  So he's like, does this work?
• 32:50
  He was but, again, think you're so right.
• 32:52
  It's some it took a bit more time.
• 32:54
  And then, you know, something really quick if you, you know, frozen vegetables.
• 32:58
  You put in the microwave.
• 32:59
  You couple minutes and, couple of spices on it.
• 33:03
  And those premade, you know, brown rice cups, I buy those because those are really easy it's
• 33:08
  going to do if it's not precooked, but you're you're still right teaching them the little
• 33:12
  things.
• 33:12
  And I mean, with him, he's a seventeen year old boy, so he's eating all the time.
• 33:17
  Yes.
• 33:17
  For me, I just do I'm like you, like, that's something I have to learn with my lifestyle is
• 33:22
  if I'm if I'm cooking something, I bulk it up.
• 33:24
  If I make chicken broth, I might make 10.
• 33:26
  And then I, you know, pre cook it and freeze it so you can pull one out, you know, same, just
• 33:31
  little things just really, really quick and something that I learned.
• 33:35
  I'm sure you probably go through a grocery list with your clients, lots of fruit, lots of
• 33:40
  vegetables, and then I try to figure out what the sides are that I do in bulk, and I just
• 33:44
  leave it in the fridge so I can put something on, you know, quickly.
• 33:48
  And, you know, I was just thinking to myself, like, one of the easiest things to do is, like,
• 33:53
  chopping up, like, I would regularly do, like, beetroot zucchini, sweet potato, and sometimes
• 34:00
  potatoes.
• 34:01
  And I would chop it up, put a bit of olive oil, and I'd do a massive put it in the oven, and
• 34:07
  that would give me, like, 3 days of just veggies.
• 34:10
  And sometimes I would just eat it on its own as is beautiful with chicken or fish on the side.
• 34:16
  And also another, like, good little tip that I like to give to people to simplify things yet
• 34:22
  again is like learn 1 new recipe once a week.
• 34:28
  Look for look for a simple recipe that's easy to do because if it becomes overwhelming, the
• 34:33
  resistance can come up.
• 34:35
  So pick something simple.
• 34:36
  And then once you know it and you've done it, next time when you're driving home from work
• 34:40
  and you're like, what am I gonna make for dinner?
• 34:42
  You go, do you know what?
• 34:43
  Awesome.
• 34:43
  I'm I'm gonna pop into the supermarket.
• 34:45
  I know what I need, and it doesn't take us long.
• 34:48
  I think sometimes it can become overwhelming when you gotta think too much.
• 34:52
  Already made too many decisions during the day.
• 34:54
  So if you've got some go tos and you're clear on what works for your body type, it just makes
• 35:00
  it so much easier.
• 35:02
  And I I think you're so right.
• 35:03
  Right?
• 35:03
  So it's it's to me, the thing is it's not about having to cook, but it's having everything that
• 35:09
  I need to cook.
• 35:11
  So I think it's, like, that's a preparing part that I find is, easier because then you have to
• 35:16
  think, oh, I gotta run to the store now.
• 35:18
  I, you know, I'm in between meetings.
• 35:19
  How am I gonna get that done?
• 35:21
  But if you, you know, so I try to kind of, you know, do that.
• 35:24
  I'm sure you tell your clients.
• 35:26
  And I see with, like, I had one son, I saw people with 3, 4 children, and I'm like, okay.
• 35:31
  I know how busy I am with my job and juggling with him and stuff like that, but I could and I
• 35:37
  could I could see the parents just trying to, you know, get one kid to one activity or, you
• 35:41
  know, and then they have full time jobs.
• 35:43
  It's it really so the stress level is real.
• 35:46
  Perry.
• 35:46
  Would you agree?
• 35:47
  And people like to be able to mindfully, which is basically what you're talking about.
• 35:51
  Sometimes it ends up being a bit of a, you know, an anomaly, people don't get those
• 35:57
  opportunities very, very often, to be able to do that.
• 36:00
  But I think it's like anything else.
• 36:01
  Like, I often say to people, You have to take even if it's a 5 minute break, you know, and
• 36:07
  sit in your office, close that door, shut everything off or listen to something that sues
• 36:13
  you.
• 36:14
  And even at that time, they probably could take the time just to eat a little bit and just slow
• 36:18
  their body down.
• 36:19
  A 100%.
• 36:21
  And, like, a little tip and trick for people is that, basically, if you sit there for 2 minutes
• 36:30
  and take some deep breaths, it will take your body from being in a stressful state to being
• 36:37
  in a relaxed state.
• 36:38
  2 minutes is all it takes to bring the nervous system to feeling relaxed.
• 36:43
  So I I often do this, especially if I'm on a plane.
• 36:46
  Like, I'll sit there, you know, when you're rushing through the air when you finally get to
• 36:50
  sleep.
• 36:50
  It's like, take a moment to sit there and breathe.
• 36:53
  Don't do anything.
• 36:54
  Put everything down.
• 36:55
  Put your phone down.
• 36:56
  Take the 2 minutes.
• 36:57
  Bring it down.
• 36:58
  You can do it at your desk.
• 36:59
  You can do it in your car.
• 37:01
  You can do it while you're standing in the kitchen.
• 37:03
  It's free.
• 37:05
  And it works.
• 37:06
  It's scientifically proven.
• 37:08
  So taking, you know, you can apply that to anything as well.
• 37:13
  That's the coolest thing about taking that breath.
• 37:15
  Maybe in an argument.
• 37:17
  You know?
• 37:18
  Yeah.
• 37:19
  I have to see the people.
• 37:20
  We have 5 senses.
• 37:21
  Right?
• 37:21
  Like, if you do have a couple you know, minutes just to be able to enjoy that cup of tea and
• 37:26
  really, you know, experience it in your mouth or, you know, to think about to stop and listen
• 37:32
  to a piece of music that you really like or, you know, to have pictures, you know, on your
• 37:37
  phone of, you know, scenery or, who or what's important that really just brings us back out
• 37:43
  of that stress response because we're either in fight flight or freeze, and you keep that the
• 37:48
  body in that states they either go hyper or hypo.
• 37:52
  Right?
• 37:52
  And then like you said, then the body's the body's gonna hold on for dear life.
• 37:56
  I know that was stressed, but then they Again, you're talking about eating being an extension
• 38:00
  where the body actually doesn't do naturally take the nutrients that it needs and let's go
• 38:05
  on what it needs and just hold on to lots of the stuff that it doesn't need.
• 38:10
  Absolutely.
• 38:12
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  Yeah.
• 38:12
  So
• 38:13
  Any other quick mindfulness tips that you suggest?
• 38:17
  Or things that you you suggest?
• 38:19
  Like, do you suggest people, kind of, join?
• 38:24
  Do you suggest things like You did the you talked about the Arabic, which is interesting.
• 38:28
  So I don't know if you have a couple minutes just to talk about the mindfulness part to
• 38:32
  that.
• 38:32
  And, what kind of things you've learned and what you're gonna be applying to maybe your,
• 38:37
  coaching because of the exposure and value to the arabatic, way of eating.
• 38:42
  Yeah.
• 38:43
  So some of the biggest takeaways for me from doing the therapeutic yoga certification in
• 38:49
  Bali was Actually, the breath work that we did every morning, we spent an hour, each morning,
• 38:58
  of learning different breath techniques.
• 39:02
  Interesting enough, I was kinda like, how did I not know about the benefits of this up to date?
• 39:07
  And you know, it's it's sometimes it's funny you go through your life and then you learn
• 39:11
  something new and you think to yourself, wow, this existed this whole time.
• 39:16
  I would recommend, everybody looks up and goes to a breathing class There's plenty of them
• 39:26
  here in Toronto.
• 39:27
  You could look it up on YouTube.
• 39:29
  I think it would be nicer to experience being in a class and learning it because I don't
• 39:37
  quite think that we are exposed enough to the power of of breathing techniques You know?
• 39:43
  So these are just breathing techniques.
• 39:45
  They're you're not talking meditation.
• 39:47
  You're not talking yoga.
• 39:48
  You're just saying what we unconsciously do, we need to learn how to breathe properly.
• 39:53
  Absolutely.
• 39:54
  A 100%.
• 39:55
  Like and it's incredible, like because what happens is energies get stuck in our body, you
• 40:00
  know, it might be that that tension that you feel on your chest or that feeling you're
• 40:05
  feeling your stomach or the tension that we're holding in our shoulders.
• 40:08
  And when energies get stuck in our body, they to be released somehow.
• 40:12
  So the idea of pop work is continue to allow the energetic flow in the body.
• 40:18
  And, like, when you tap in and check-in with yourself before you start doing the breath work
• 40:23
  and then, you know, you check-in with yourself afterwards.
• 40:26
  How do I feel like Do I feel clearer?
• 40:28
  Do I feel lighter?
• 40:29
  And it's like night and day, it really is.
• 40:31
  So, I would recommend if anyone is feeling super, super stressed, like, Like, going to the
• 40:38
  gym is, like, my number 1, like, I love it, but there are other ways to, allow energy to flow
• 40:46
  out of the body and to feel relaxed and to do something good for yourself.
• 40:50
  So number 1, finding a breath work class, or going on YouTube, there's plenty of free stuff
• 40:56
  on there if if financially people are not wanting to spend the money on a class, Also, I
• 41:02
  would recommend that people go to a local meditation class as well or get headspace, the
• 41:07
  headspace app Okay.
• 41:09
  But do what I'd I love YouTube.
• 41:11
  This is so much free stuff on it.
• 41:12
  Every morning, I get up and put a different, meditation on from YouTube?
• 41:16
  That's how I started my morning this morning because I thought, okay.
• 41:19
  Well, let me because I know I have a busy day.
• 41:21
  So I just did that.
• 41:22
  And, you know, they say sit up.
• 41:24
  Right?
• 41:25
  Because guess what ends up happening?
• 41:26
  You end up falling back asleep.
• 41:28
  But, I mean, you're relaxed after 20 minutes.
• 41:31
  You know, you're you're kinda you know, reflect and and you slow down because you know you're
• 41:35
  gonna be go go go go go go, which kinda gives you that slowing even though you know, you
• 41:40
  know, you're gonna be in my case, 9, 10 hours today, different things, but just a a full day
• 41:46
  versus if you get up, you know, the alarm goes off, and you can start running.
• 41:50
  And then it, you know, your life gets dictated by everything outside of you.
• 41:55
  You know, and then by the mid, you know, middle of the afternoon, you're like, I'm cooked.
• 41:59
  I've run out of energy.
• 42:01
  You know?
• 42:02
  A 100%.
• 42:03
  And, you know, carving out, time for yourself in the morning, though, know it can be really
• 42:08
  difficult, especially if people have, like, like, really little babies and stuff at home.
• 42:13
  It can be hard, but, waking up if you're able to and giving yourself half an hour before you
• 42:21
  regularly would with your alarm, get up and do some journaling and read or get up and do some
• 42:26
  yoga or get up and do some meditation or half an hour for a worker.
• 42:29
  It doesn't have to be this grand thing, but taking time out just for you.
• 42:36
  That's just yours because you need to invest in you and you deserve it.
• 42:40
  When you're giving so much of your energy to everybody else during a day, you know, clients,
• 42:46
  bosses, everyone else.
• 42:47
  If you don't fill up your own car, everyone else will get a half version of you you won't
• 42:53
  like the half version of you that you're giving to everybody else, and then and then it can
• 42:57
  spiral just into a place where people are like, This is too much.
• 43:03
  So every day, you just take finding some time to fill up your car for sure.
• 43:07
  And then how it impacts the mental, right, because if you're go go go go go go go, and you
• 43:13
  have to sit down and focus on a document or something like that.
• 43:16
  That's when it's harder to focus.
• 43:18
  So to really recognize that this investment that you're making throughout the day, you're
• 43:23
  you're putting the, you know, the deposits in a bit at a time.
• 43:26
  It may be only 5 minutes a month or 2 It made me two that I'm gonna sit here, and I'm just
• 43:31
  gonna close my eyes and, you know, you know, feel my breath and feel the breath at the
• 43:37
  bottom of my nose, but is like slowing my body down, to be able to kind of, you know, get
• 43:43
  through things a a bit at a time versus I have not stopped for 10 hours, and I am, you know,
• 43:48
  and then you go home.
• 43:49
  And if you're, you you know, your family's there or your partner's there or people around
• 43:54
  you, you have nothing left to give to what really what's what's important.
• 43:58
  A 100%.
• 43:59
  And and that's the other thing too.
• 44:01
  I think as well if you've got like a really supportive partner, and there are children at
• 44:07
  home trying to coordinate to allow space during the week.
• 44:11
  Hey, honey.
• 44:12
  Can you take the kids like, so that you're able to go to a session or you're able to go and
• 44:18
  have that time with your girlfriends for a coffee.
• 44:20
  I think it's important as as well for people to make sure that they're making, themselves
• 44:26
  important during the week without necessarily you know, some stresses around them, if that's
• 44:32
  possible.
• 44:32
  I understand everyone's life skills are different, but if they're able to carve out
• 44:36
  that time, then that way yet again, they're a fuller version of themselves.
• 44:40
  They've got that time to look forward to, and it's not just them constantly giving to the
• 44:45
  kids, giving to the boss.
• 44:47
  Yep.
• 44:48
  To everything outside of you, right, because that becomes a point when you have to start
• 44:52
  replenishing yourself.
• 44:53
  And and it like you said, it doesn't opportunity to people.
• 44:55
  It doesn't have to be a Pilates class.
• 44:57
  That's an hour a half or, you know, or the gym.
• 45:00
  It could be something as, okay.
• 45:02
  I'm gonna go outside.
• 45:03
  And I've got 15 minutes of our lunch.
• 45:05
  I'm gonna, you know, eat something really quickly, and I'm gonna go from brisk walk, get
• 45:10
  out, get some oxygen, And then I come back and I feel alive because then I've I've gotten more
• 45:15
  breaths.
• 45:16
  I've more oxygen oxygenation in my brain.
• 45:19
  I'm clearer.
• 45:20
  I've shifted, and we know that with optimal, you know, functioning, and all the research,
• 45:25
  it's like, do something.
• 45:27
  Take a make a shift.
• 45:28
  If you're doing something physical, maybe slow down.
• 45:31
  If you're doing something, that's focused then shifting.
• 45:34
  And then then that way the body and the brain kinda starts to work in concert with each
• 45:39
  other.
• 45:39
  Okay.
• 45:39
  This has all been really, really, interesting stuff.
• 45:43
  I'm sure everyone, this thing would love to learn, a lot more about things.
• 45:48
  And I know you have, something that you, are doing a a promotion so why don't you tell
• 45:54
  everyone about the promotion and where they can get a hold of you so that, you know, if they're
• 45:59
  interested in learning more, just about some of the wonderful things that you've shared today.
• 46:03
  Awesome.

• 47:28
  And I will facilitate, making sure that you get connected.
• 47:33
  Okay.
• 47:33
  I've learned a lot of really good things today, and I think some of my takeaways is, that's
• 47:39
  slowing so that the body can take what it needs.
• 47:44
  I think that's a I really I love that because, you know, I don't think of it in generally, I I
• 47:50
  when I when I coach or I, speak to people, I don't put it in that context with food, but
• 47:55
  it's kinda giving me a good angle with people to really because, really, if you're in that
• 48:01
  hyper or or frozen state and you're depleted, the body saying, I don't know what to do here.
• 48:08
  Mhmm.
• 48:09
  Right?
• 48:09
  So I think really nutritionally, it does the same thing.
• 48:12
  Like you said, if if you if you don't let the body know it's okay to receive what it needs
• 48:17
  and to let go of what it needs, then you're you're you're out of balance technically, which
• 48:23
  is what I talk a lot with stress management and stuff like that.
• 48:26
  So thank you.
• 48:27
  That was a really an insight and something I probably will use as I kinda hold people on
• 48:31
  balance.
• 48:32
  And, and also just about, the the breath, the breath, the importance of breathing, and even
• 48:39
  to suggest a breathing class, I hadn't thought about that.
• 48:42
  I think that was something that would be quite interesting for people to consider.
• 48:46
