• 0:29
  From the chicken coop, So, today we are continuing our series on
• 0:33
  stress. And today, we are talking about
• 0:36
  food and people would think food.
• 0:40
  I mean, like, how could food add to stress?
• 0:42
  Well, you would be surprised, people have so many food
• 0:46
  triggers, it's crazy. And if you don't do a good job,
• 0:50
  monitoring yourself. Just like with all the other
• 0:52
  steps of this and being aware going to get sick of hearing me,
• 0:55
  say it, but you've got to be aware.
• 0:57
  There are certain things that bother us.
• 0:58
  Some people will eat something and they will.
• 1:00
  Definitely puff up. That's my favorite word.
• 1:02
  Oh that I ate that and made me puff up.
• 1:04
  Well, I got inflammation from something.
• 1:06
  I ate because maybe it had too much salt, maybe it had
• 1:09
  something else in it, maybe it had gluten and that bothered me,
• 1:13
  who knows? But being aware of these things
• 1:15
  is the only way you can really fix them.
• 1:18
  So, again, we're looking for awareness in this in.
• 1:21
  What you eat, also, Food, dyes are an issue for many, many,
• 1:27
  many people and food, dyes can cause reactions food.
• 1:31
  Dyes can make it so that you can't think clear.
• 1:34
  They can make you think you're all hyped up.
• 1:37
  They can give you the instability of feeling anxious
• 1:42
  just in themselves food. Additives are a huge problem in
• 1:47
  our world and we have to be super, super careful.
• 1:50
  This is I'm a little bit nutty with my food.
• 1:52
  I have to admit For me clean food.
• 1:56
  I mean obviously I go to the lengths, I go to taking you know
• 2:00
  the extreme care of my chickens because I'm eating those eggs
• 2:04
  and I want those eggs to be as healthy as they possibly can.
• 2:07
  I'm not giving them crappy things to eat because I'm going
• 2:09
  to end up eating it. And when we start to know where
• 2:13
  our food comes from, what's in our food, it starts to have a
• 2:16
  huge dramatic effect on our bodies.
• 2:19
  So you have to look at the food additives that you're taking in.
• 2:23
  You have to look at it. Coffees teas, am I drinking too
• 2:26
  much of this? Am I adding this into late in my
• 2:29
  day so that I can't function at night.
• 2:33
  This is causing me problems, drinking a large amount of Pop,
• 2:38
  soda, whatever you might call it.
• 2:40
  Oh boy, that's an issue in itself.
• 2:42
  I know so many of my clients, we've had two over the years
• 2:45
  detox from the intake of soda. It's a struggle, it's addictive,
• 2:51
  and you've got to get it out of your life because it's not Going
• 2:55
  to help you with stress. And, you know, again, this is
• 3:00
  such a big deal about how these little things show up in stack
• 3:04
  and really stress comes down to its stacking effect.
• 3:08
  It might not be just one thing. It's like lots of little things.
• 3:12
  So when you really look at it, nine times out of 10 with my
• 3:15
  clients, when we're talking about reducing stress and going
• 3:18
  through all of this, you know, to make our make everybody
• 3:22
  healthy again. It It is a stacking effect, its
• 3:26
  multiple items, not just one. So you have to be a detective.
• 3:30
  You have to really think about what's happening so that you
• 3:33
  function at a high level to decode it.
• 3:36
  You know, it's like going into one of those, those rooms where
• 3:40
  you get locked in you get, and then you have to solve the
• 3:43
  mystery in order to get out and it's not just one clue.
• 3:46
  You know, you have to have many clues in order to get out will
• 3:50
  often. This is exactly the case we're
• 3:52
  dealing with when it comes to stress.
• 3:54
  So Keep that in mind. Multiple things are probably
• 3:58
  stacking up with the food, with the environment, with the
• 4:02
  conditions of what you're doing, lots of little pieces of the
• 4:05
  puzzle. So, back to one of the biggest
• 4:09
  things about food, I can tell you is eating too late because
• 4:11
  oh my gosh, when your body is so hunkered down and having to, you
• 4:17
  know, get rid of and digest food.
• 4:20
  It's so hard to sleep. Well, you might fall asleep for
• 4:24
  A short period of time, two hours and then you're Wide
• 4:27
  Awake. Well, that's because whatever
• 4:29
  you ate is now giving you energy so having it timed and having it
• 4:33
  be able to get through your system to a certain point, so
• 4:36
  that you can go to sleep is essential, can't stress that
• 4:40
  enough ultimately, super essential to having it work.
• 4:44
  So looking at all of this decoding it with your food is
• 4:49
  super time-consuming. I want you to know that it's
• 4:52
  super time-consuming because it takes up you got to Read labels,
• 4:55
  you've got to think about it. You've got to plan it, but if
• 4:57
  you are struggling with stress, I can promise you.
• 5:00
  It's worth the time you're going to put in when you first do it.
• 5:04
  I will say, one of the best things that you can do is Purge
• 5:07
  your pantry go in and look at all the things that are causing
• 5:11
  that have the potential to be causing it.
• 5:13
  You don't know, pull them all out, put them to the side.
• 5:16
  Say okay, these are things that have heavy food additives in
• 5:19
  them. I need to put this over to the
• 5:20
  side. I need to look about over this
• 5:23
  and decide. What am I going to do with?
• 5:24
  All this stuff. Am I going to change it?
• 5:26
  Look through your refrigerator. Yes it is super time-consuming.
• 5:29
  I'm coming right out and telling you that and it's worth every
• 5:33
  bit of it. Because if you can do this for
• 5:34
  yourself, if you can do this with yourself, I will promise
• 5:39
  you. You'll have a better healthier
• 5:40
  body. You'll have a healthier family
• 5:43
  people in your life, will have a better chance of an encounter
• 5:48
  with you. That is less stress free because
• 5:50
  you're going to be handling it up front and you're not going to
• 5:52
  be staying in that state. That's Just bubbling over all
• 5:55
  the time. So hopefully this was helpful.
• 5:58
  You're going to go out and be those food detectives.
• 6:00
  You're going to figure it out as to what those triggers are, get
• 6:03
  that cleaned up in your life and it's another piece of the
• 6:06
  puzzle. And I will see you tomorrow, my
• 6:09
  friends. I hope you have a blessed day.
• 6:11
  Bye.
