0:34
so excited to see you me too how was the
0:36

0:40
short i know as always i know and you know it's so funny because i feel like
0:45
i just didn't get to the gym enough over the weekend oh i don't work out weekends
0:48
oh you don't work out at all on the weekends i do my yoga that's about it oh
0:52
wow i don't like i consider my weekends the rest day oh well that's nice That's nice.
0:58
When you don't work out, there's other things you can do. Yeah,
1:00
but I think I work out enough around the house.
1:03
You know, pick up the yard, clean the house, do laundry.
1:06
That's work out. Yeah, that is. Well, I know a lot of people are kind of leveling up now.
1:10
I know people do it at the beginning of the year, but there's people that also
1:13
do it right before summer. For what? To level up their body. Yeah.
1:17
Oh, no. Yeah. That's what they said. The summer body made in the winter.
1:21
Summer body is made in the winter and the spring.
1:24
Yeah. I mean, honestly, you shouldn't really try to make a summer body.
1:28
You should try to stay in shape all year round. I know people do an extra push
1:31
right before summer, typically.
1:33
Yeah, typically, right before summer, right before any vacation.
1:37
Any vacations. I know you love your vacations. I do.
1:40
I do that before holidays, too. That would have been a high day.
1:43
It comes. It's sweet. Oh, see? Yeah, because you love your sugar.
1:47
Yeah, my sugar addict. Yep. Yep.
1:49
Well, let's talk about other ways to kind of lose weight. I know we've we had
1:53
a podcast regarding like different GLP ones and peptides and ZEP bound, etc.
1:59
But there's other ways to lose weight that I think should be discussed.
2:03
Yeah, I think so. I think so, too. Like here's you know, there's different modalities,
2:07
but here's one that people are still doing. And that's bariatric surgery.
2:11
What is that? So that's where they it can either be a gastric bypass.
2:15
Oh, OK. Or it can be a sleeve, which is called a gastrectomy or something like that.
2:22
So the sleeve, so either a gastric bypass or a sleeve, it's surgical.
2:28
So they're going to go in and they're going to take a part of your stomach out. Okay.
2:32
It reduces the capacity so you don't eat as much. So for people that aren't
2:36
losing weight on the GLP-1s, it's kind of an extreme way to go.
2:39
Yeah. Oh, I've known someone that, but you know what? Your stomach stretched back.
2:43
It can. Yes. And you can also cause hernias if you eat too much later.
2:48
So my neighbor had their sleep done, but she put back 75 pounds.
2:53
Really? Well, and when you do this, a lot of people are also having their gallbladder
2:57
removed right away. Right.
2:58
Because they're not good at processing fat and they tend to have gallbladder
3:02
attacks after they lose that much weight quickly.
3:04
It is a very fast weight loss, though. It is quickly, too. Yeah.
3:09
I've seen her. She doesn't look healthy. Yeah, because your skin doesn't contract back as quickly.
3:15
Uh-huh. Well, you know, when the gastric bypass first came out,
3:19
they did it for a diabetic patient, and they reversed it, like, instantly.
3:25
Right. Right. So there's purposes and reasons why people do it,
3:29
but there's also risks, right?
3:31
Any surgery of risk. Any surgery of risk, and you can have vitamin deficiencies after.
3:35
You have to take a bunch of vitamins. You do. I do. I've seen people lose their
3:39
hair because they don't have the right nutrients.
3:41
Right. Then they have diarrhea sometimes.
3:44
Some people even lose their teeth. Oh, my goodness. Yeah. So it's kind of extreme.
3:48
Very extreme for the gastric bypass. You know, and it's funny because I do prolonged fasting.
3:54
My longest fast was 40 days. That's another modality as far as losing weight goes.
3:59
But people talk about gastric bypasses if it's a no-brainer and you can do it,
4:04
but nobody even addresses that you could fast for a month or two and get almost
4:09
the same results and keep your stomach if you just had a little bit more willpower.
4:14
Right. Willpower is the key. Yeah. But you could, there's medical supervised fasting that you can do.
4:20
There's intermittent fasting where you could do every other day.
4:23
Well, I think you have to go to the center. If I would have to fast,
4:27
I have to go to the center.
4:28
If you did a prolonged fast, but you could do every other day,
4:32
like one day on, one day off.
4:33
I actually had a person reach out to me and tell me that he wanted to lose 5
4:37
to 10 pounds and was thinking about going on a GLP-1.
4:40
And then I told him what happened with me was ZepBound. And he's like,
4:44
oh, maybe I won't do that now.
4:45
But the reality is he could do an intermittent fast every other day and drop
4:49
10 pounds for a month. I mean, it doesn't take a lot to lose 10 pounds fasting
4:54
because the nice thing is, is that
4:56
if you get in the mindset and you're determined, you'll make it happen.
4:59
Right. It's in your mind for sure. I don't have that strong mind, so.
5:03
Yes, you do. You do. You just haven't pushed it to that point.
5:07
Right. You have to push your limit. You are right. The reality is you got to start small.
5:10
Right. So maybe one day you stop eating at noon and don't eat until noon the next day.
5:16
That's an easy 24-hour fast. Honestly, I think it's a great way for people that
5:21
are sensitive to the GLPs or have problems and side effects with the different
5:25
modalities of GLP-1, all the different peptides that are coming out for weight loss. Yeah.
5:31
It's a great way for them to lose weight as well. I've heard good thing,
5:35
though. That's actually the trainer at the gym.
5:38
She looks amazing. That's what she does. She eats. Every other day?
5:41
No, she eats one meal a day. OMAD.
5:43
OMAD. One meal a day. OMAD. So she does the OMAD. She does it OMAD.
5:47
So if you want to do further research on this, Dr.
5:49
Fong and Dr. Berg both have some really good, Dr.
5:53
Fong has videos out there on fasting and the benefits of it.
5:57
He does intermittent fasting, and he does have some videos on prolonged fasting as well.
6:02
And then Dr. Berg, there's actually a really good interview between Dr.
6:05
Berg and Dr. Fung on the benefits of fasting. Now, just like everything,
6:10
there can be side effects.
6:13
And there are things you need to take when you're prolonged fasting over like
6:17
three days, like electrolytes and some other types of things,
6:20
maybe B12 vitamins and a multivitamin, possibly.
6:23
It depends on, you know, what you are, what health conditions you have.
6:27
You also have to be careful if you're on medication. Right.
6:30
Because your medications, if you're on high blood pressure and you fast,
6:34
blood pressure naturally goes down.
6:36
Yeah. That could be a problem if you're, you know, on high blood pressure medicine
6:39
because your high blood pressure medicine could push your blood pressure too low. Too low.
6:43
So you have to be monitored if you're on medication.
6:46
Yes, for sure. And there's people as well that are on insulin because they have diabetes.
6:51
And there's been studies out there that 21 days of water fasting can cure type 2 diabetes.
6:57
For sure, yeah, because I've seen, you know, I go to the Himalayan,
7:01
I've seen these people all the time.
7:03
Even I've seen them all the time. All of a sudden, they look healthy, they look great.
7:08
Yeah. And we start talking, she said, yeah, she does the intimate fasting,
7:12
the one meal a day. One meal a day is wonderful.
7:15
And prolonged fasting, if you can make it after two days, you get the benefit of autophagy.
7:20
You know what autophagy is? No. So autophagy is where your body starts to go
7:25
after the bad cells. Okay.
7:26
Okay, so if you've got bad cells, it could be cancerous.
7:30
If you've got cells that are like extra skinned,
7:33
If you have skin that's not coming back after a weight loss,
7:36
if you water fast, that can help your skin get tighter.
7:39
That's for sure. Someone actually told me about that. Yeah.
7:42
So it doesn't work when you're doing reduced calories because you don't get the autophagy benefit.
7:47
So when you just cut your calories to, say, 500 or 1,000 calories a day,
7:52
you're still eating and the autophagy doesn't kick in.
7:56
Autophagy takes about, typically for me, it's about 24 to 36 hours before it kicks in on me.
8:01
Oh, wow. And that's because I've been fasting so many times,
8:03
but it takes a while for the autophagy to kick in because first what's going
8:07
to happen is your body is going to burn your blood glucose.
8:10
Okay. Then it's going to burn the glucose in your liver.
8:13
And then it's going to say, oh, I don't have a food source. And it's going to
8:16
flip a switch from burning glucose to burning ketones.
8:20
And when it flips that switch to burning ketones, your body says,
8:23
how can I get more ketones? Let me go find out damaged cells.
8:27
Let me go find out cells that aren't working at their best. And it will eat away at bad cells.
8:34
It'll eat away at bad cells on your skin.
8:36
If you have a scar, fasting has actually been shown to actually help with getting
8:40
rid of scars. People have gotten rid of acne.
8:43
Literally, I think it is the best modality out there for weight loss.
8:48
I can't say enough about it. And it's cheap and it's free. For sure, water.
8:53
Well, water, but you do have to have some supplementation. Yes, you put electrolyte in.
8:58
Electrolyte, some salt. If you get lightheaded, you need some more salt.
9:02
I mean, and then there's things, and you should be doing your blood work weekly.
9:05
So it's not, it's free to do the water, but it's cheap to do the process because
9:10
there's still some things you have to do. I see. But you will get the most benefit.
9:13
And if you have arthritis, your inflammation goes away.
9:16
And your joints feel amazing. If you have any type of histamine issues,
9:22
there's a histamine response that goes away.
9:25
So that's a modality. I call it a modality that you can do to lose weight.
9:30
Water is very powerful. Water is. And then there's another type of fasting.
9:34
What is? It's called dry fasting. Like nothing at all. Nothing at all.
9:37
Now, you don't really want to do it for more than a day. And you only want to
9:40
do it if you're an experienced faster.
9:42
But a dry fast, one day of dry fasting is like three days of water fasting.
9:47
This will reset your whole body. It does. And it gets rid of a lot of bad cells.
9:52
It gets rid of a ton of inflammation.
9:54
So, like, for instance, I'll do like six days of water and one day of dry.
9:58
Oh, wow. That way I get both benefits. Again, my longest is 40.
10:02
I would love to do a 60. I don't know if I'll make it, but I would love to do a 60-day.
10:06
Let's try. Let's try. I'm going to try to do 48 hours.
10:09
Okay. Let's do 48 hours with you. And if you have questions, just call me.
10:12
I can help you through it. And we'll talk to you about it later then,
10:15
how your 48-hour experience went. Yeah. Well, I will.
10:19
Yeah. So the dry fasting, I don't recommend for most people,
10:22
though, because most people are on some type of medication, and it's not good
10:26
to do dry fasting if you are. I'm not doing dry fasting.
10:28
I'm going to do dry fasting. Dry fasting is a little more extensive.
10:30
It is very helpful if you have autoimmune, but at the same time,
10:36
you do need to have some blood work done and be careful with dry fasting.
10:39
And then there's juicing.
10:41
And there's a movie out there, which is wonderful. It's a little bit older.
10:45
It's a documentary. It's called Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead. Have you seen it?
10:49
Yeah, so Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead is more about juice fasting.
10:52
And you're basically making fresh juice, mostly vegetable juice.
10:56
Now, on there, they have some fruit juice, but the majority of it to make it
10:59
work is vegetable juice. Vegetable juice.
11:02
And you can flush your body of all kinds of inflammation, histamine issues.
11:08
You're not going to get the autophagy that you're getting with water fasting. Uh-huh.
11:13
But however, you're going to get maybe a little bit more than typical.
11:17
Juice fasting might work for someone that can't handle the water fasting.
11:20
For sure. You get the taste. It does. I don't think you get as much autophagy
11:25
because your skin's not going to come back as nicely with the juice fasting.
11:28
But if you want to do small, maybe a two-week or a month-long juice fast, it's much healthier.
11:34
Again, if you're on medication, you have to have it monitored.
11:38
Well, juice and vegetables, those are food. So you should be able to take your medication with it.
11:43
Well, some people need to decrease their medication while they're on it because
11:47
their blood pressure will drop on that as well. See, these are natural alternatives
11:52
instead of going the medicine route from surgery, et cetera.
11:57
Yeah, but they have a whole kind of recipe for juice. There are.
12:00
And the Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead guy, he has a website out there.
12:04
It's called Reboot with Joe.
12:06
The Reboot with Joe website has community, kind of like a Weight Watchers community.
12:12
And they have stories of people losing 100 pounds in 90 days, et cetera, doing juice.
12:17
I have to tell my friend about that. Yeah, there's so many natural ways.
12:21
I know a lot of people want to go the medicine route, but there's so many ways to help your body.
12:26
Especially if she's vegan. I think that would be so perfect for her.
12:29
And it's also really good for people with autoimmune diseases as well. That's true.
12:34
They did say that they cure type 2 diabetes instantly after you juice for a while.
12:40
Yeah, so 21 days, there was something like 90-some percent, 95 or something
12:46
percent of people with type 2 diabetes after a 21-day water fast didn't have
12:50
type 2 diabetes for a year because they tracked them for a year.
12:54
Now, if you go back to eating a bunch of sugar, it'll come back.
12:58
So most people can get cured from their type 2, not type 1, but type 2 diabetes with water fasting.
13:04
That's everything, right? I think losing weight is hard already, but...
13:09
Try to keep it off and stay healthy even harder. It's a challenge.
13:13
But the thing is, is fasting.
13:15
Yeah, that's why it makes you get used to that kind of eating.
13:19
Well, here's the thing. Fasting is not just a weight loss. It's not really designed
13:23
for weight loss. The weight loss is the benefit.
13:25
It's the side effect of fasting. The benefit of fasting is it gets rid of the inflammation.
13:31
It gets rid of the cells that aren't firing correctly.
13:34
And it also increases your stem cell production and your human growth hormone.
13:38
So when you're water fasting anyway, you're improving your body's composition
13:44
and it's a longevity thing.
13:47
So it helps you stay younger. It helps you look younger. It helps you feel younger.
13:53
And oh, by the way, the side effect is you're going to lose weight. That's awesome.
13:57
So maybe after I need to stop, you know, I'm taking the semi-glutide shot.
14:01
Maybe after I stop, I should slowly get into that. And here's the thing.
14:06
You don't have to do a ton of fasting. Right.
14:08
Maybe you do one day a month or two days a month and that's it.
14:12
Or you do two or three days in a quarter or you do intermittent fasting for
14:16
a week every other day. Yeah.
14:18
And it just kind of resets you and keeps you on track.
14:21
And honestly, I will say one of the best things about fasting is you're in control
14:27
of food instead of foods in control of you.
14:30
So you'll find that you feel like nothing really tempts you after that. Okay. Yeah.
14:35
Huh. Maybe I'll try that because I do try to get off this shot.
14:39
But I'm on maintenance plan every other week. Yeah.
14:41
But I think the craving coming back at
14:44
Like they said, everything's in your head, right? Yeah. I think I'm at the point
14:48
like everything's in my head right now.
14:50
So instead of me eating regular food, I try to meal prep, do a breakdown.
14:56
Yep. So I'm going to start with the intermittent fasting first.
14:59
Yeah. And maybe you just do, you stop eating at five o'clock at night and you
15:04
don't eat until lunch the next day. That's a good way to start, right?
15:08
So when you do that, it's a great way to make sure that you're on track.
15:12
So when you're intermittent fasting, you could eat whatever you want, right?
15:16
Or you could eat. No, you shouldn't eat whatever you want. You're not going to go crazy with sugar.
15:21
You don't want to go crazy with food when you're intermittent fasting either.
15:24
So what you want to do is when you're intermittent fasting, you want to still
15:27
do high protein and healthy fats and some vegetables and then fruits in moderation.
15:34
Yeah, give yourself four hours. So from noon till five.
15:37
So that's five hours. Yeah, I think the big thing is, is we need to change our
15:42
thought process around health and look at it from we should be healthy year round.
15:47
So when you're not fasting, you should be eating stuff that's natural,
15:51
that stuff that's grown, not stuff that has processed chemicals in it or seed
15:56
oils or things like that, because that's just, you know, you're just asking for trouble.
16:01
So you could fast, and then if you go back to eating pizza and pasta and fried
16:06
foods, you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot and undoing all the great
16:09
things that the fasting did.
16:11
Oh, I love pizza. Pizza is fun. I know.
16:14
And who would stop one slide? See, I would...
16:17
Talk about the weight loss program. I've done it all, right?
16:19
So you went on Weight Watchers?
16:20
I was. And the whole thing is, I like it because you could eat carbs,
16:24
but it's portion control.
16:26
I think it's the most healthy, effective way to me. My problem,
16:30
I gather and social about food.
16:32
So when you see a lot of food, I can't stop. Who could stop bunslide pizza?
16:35
Right. The thought process is changing around health.
16:38
Where it used to be, health used to be skinny. Right.
16:42
And you had to look good for health. But I really think it doesn't matter if
16:46
you're skinny, if you're unhealthy inside.
16:47
I know that. I know. So my goal is not just to be thin and in shape and muscular.
16:54
My goal is also to be extremely healthy internally and to age backwards.
16:58
That's the goal. That is the goal. Yeah. And you can age backwards.
17:02
There's been people that have done it. And you do that through supplementation.
17:05
You do that through eating healthy. You do that through fasting.
17:08
And then there's other modalities as well that we're going to cover today,
17:11
too. They said you cut off red meat, you age backward.
17:14
Well, I don't really eat red meat anyway. No mistake. See, that's another problem.
17:18
Well, and here's the thing. Love your steak, but get a good quality steak.
17:21
Yeah. Like grass-fed, that's free-range, not just grass-fed,
17:25
because grass-fed could be there in a plant that just feeds them grass.
17:28
Oh, I see. You want a free-range cow. Free-range and grass-fed. Yeah.
17:32
Yeah. Someone that's out there actually eating the nutrients from the ground, not just grass.
17:37
I think that they keep tricking us with some of these words.
17:39
Oh, I'm eating grass-fed. Yeah, but the grass-fed cow is in a stall,
17:43
and instead of giving it grain, you're just giving it grass.
17:45
That's the only difference.
17:46
Yeah, that's another thing, too. Like, with the chickens, no hormone, no egg time.
17:50
You have to define their definition, too. Yeah, they might have no hormones
17:54
added, but the grain that they fed them had hormones or something.
17:57
Yeah. Or the brown eggs, but they're not free-range chickens and things like that. Yeah, yeah.
18:02
They're still in cages. It depends on what you're looking for.
18:06
But if you really want to have healthy food, it starts from everything you eat. Yeah.
18:12
They said you are what you eat. You are. And I think there is something to the
18:16
spirit of the animal getting transferred to how they die.
18:19
There's other things you can do once you have fat. Okay.
18:23
Liposuction is one. I'm so scared about that. Yeah. Liposuction is one.
18:27
And liposuction is kind of plastic surgery.
18:29
Okay. They also have what's called air scope. What is that? So AirSculpt is
18:34
where they put the fluid in. It's kind of like a mini liposuction.
18:37
It's not as invasive, but it's still pretty darn invasive.
18:40
And then they have this RF electric thing that goes through after they liposuction
18:45
that then tightens the skin. So it gives you a little bit of liposuction with a skin tightener.
18:51
So you can do that. A lot of people, they do liposuction and then they'll do
18:55
a tummy tuck after they do their liposuction.
18:57
I see. I will tell you, though, they don't want you to do liposuction unless
19:03
you've been at your goal weight for at least six months to a year. I see.
19:07
And if you know this, too, it takes one to two years for your skin to contract
19:12
after you've lost weight.
19:14
So six months to a year? Six months to a year.
19:16
So I would say if you want to keep as much of your own skin as possible,
19:20
some of it's going to come back, especially if you water fasted,
19:23
you might want to wait a year.
19:24
That's true. I have seen a lot of people that have lost 100 plus pounds water
19:29
fasting and their skin is not that saggy.
19:33
But I've seen people that have done reduced calorie and their skin is very saggy
19:36
because they don't get the autophagy.
19:38
Right. So that's two different things, right? Like if you do water fast and
19:42
you work out regularly, you lose weight in a healthy way.
19:45
But if you lose weight very quick and you look sick without working out.
19:49
For instance, the gastric bypass. Yeah, they look sick. They look sick and their
19:53
skin is all saggy because it's a massive weight loss.
19:56
They're also nutrient deficient. Yeah. And their body's not processing nutrients
20:01
the same. They may have liver issues after that.
20:03
They may have gallbladder issues. And you can choose to do it if you want to.
20:06
But it's like a Band-Aid on a bee sting.
20:08
Yeah. Right. So you're putting a Band-Aid on a basting, but the root problem is still there.
20:12
You still have overeat issues. You still have probably emotional issues around
20:15
food and you're not fixing that.
20:18
You think the whole thing we have to relook at what we eat and start from there.
20:22
I agree. I think I think what we eat is the most important thing.
20:25
But your mindset around food is too. Yeah.
20:28
Me and my sugar. You and your sugar. But if you have an addiction towards a
20:32
food, it's a hard thing to break.
20:34
And you know, the best way to break it fast is to fast.
20:37
Fasting actually helps with getting rid of sugar addictions.
20:40
The only way to actually break an addiction, you don't see people that are on
20:44
drugs going to a drug clinic and them saying, OK, we're going to give you a
20:48
little bit of drugs here.
20:50
Right. You got to cut dry. No, you have to go cold turkey. Cold.
20:53
Yep. Because if you're on sugar, it's a drug.
20:56
And just like caffeine is a drug. If you want to cut it out of your life,
21:00
you have to cut it 100 percent. You can't say, oh, I'm going to I'm going to
21:03
spoil myself on Saturday and eat a whole cake. You can't do that because then
21:07
you'll go right back to your sugar addiction.
21:09
You're right. You're right. Because when you start one piece of chocolate,
21:12
you've got to finish the whole bag. You do. You know?
21:15
Well, I don't. I do.
21:17
I'm allergic to chocolate. Yeah, I know. Yeah. For you, you like to eat chocolate.
21:23
Like, if I see a bag of M&M, I'd rather not touch it. Because once I opened
21:27
that bag, the first piece, I could not stop.
21:30
Well, they've made food as well. It's even more addicting than just basic sugar.
21:34
They've had so many chemicals that make your taste buds go wild when you eat
21:38
it that people get addicted to it. Yeah.
21:40
I'd rather not to see it. Yeah, they actually determine there's like a pleasure
21:44
principle on food that at a certain level of taste, people love it and they're addicted.
21:49
But if you go past that level and it's too sweet, it turns people off.
21:53
So the food manufacturers have chemically made food so it's just addictive enough
21:58
to make you keep wanting to eat it.
22:01
Yeah, that's what it is. Same thing with the smoker. So my husband's an ex-smoker.
22:05
Yeah. He would not go near any smoking lounge, none of that.
22:09
Yeah. Because he'll know he'll go, as soon as he picked up that,
22:12
the urge is coming back. I understand that. Yeah.
22:15
Let's talk liposuction again. So there's liposuction and then there's tummy tucks.
22:19
And then there's tummy tucks where a lot of women's stomach splits right down
22:23
the middle when they have children.
22:24
Okay. Their abs split. So in the tummy tuck, a lot of times they'll stitch those
22:28
abs. They can do stitching. It's an extra cost.
22:31
To stitch up your abs while they're doing the tummy tuck. They stitch up inside.
22:35
They stitch you up inside. It helps your abs go back together.
22:39
And eventually the stitches, I believe, dissolve, and then your abs are spliced
22:43
back together, hopefully.
22:44
Then you can also do the tummy tuck where they go 360, where they also take
22:49
from your back. So it's not just the belly, but they go around your hips.
22:54
And the incision is down kind of where most people have their C-section.
22:58
And they tighten all that up, and then they move the belly button.
23:01
They move your belly button up. They move your belly button up. Mm-hmm.
23:04
I've seen that. And then they liposuction it all. They liposuction around it.
23:08
They liposuction 360, yes.
23:10
At the same time, they do your tongue. They do it all, yeah. Oh, wow.
23:14
Yeah, and then you can do a mommy makeover and do other areas too,
23:17
which is like your boob lift, your legs tighten, and your arms all at the same time.
23:21
I think it's best to do not everything at once.
23:24
Yeah, that's going to be so painful. I mean, how much pain? I cannot take pain, so.
23:28
Although some people like to have all the pain at once, but I would rather do
23:31
one area, make sure it looks good, and then do another.
23:34
But it's really your choice. Yeah. But you just have to make sure you don't
23:37
maintain the weight back, though. Then you're weighted. You do.
23:41
That's why you should maintain that weight for six months to a year before you
23:44
actually undergo the knife. Yeah. It's only moving your skin.
23:48
Yeah. So basically, you'll stretch the skin out that you have left,
23:52
though, which is a problem. Yeah.
23:54
So you don't want to do that if you can avoid it. But the tummy tuck is a lot
23:57
of people are doing, and I understand that.
24:00
But you may be able to, if you do a lot of fasting, you may be able to get a
24:03
lot of that skin to tighten up on its own. Yeah, fasting, workout.
24:07
Fasting, vitamin D. Yeah. There's supplementation you can take,
24:10
vitamin D, vitamin E, topotrenals, different types of vitamins, get some sun.
24:16
I do want to have tummy tuck one of these days. Tummy tucks are very popular.
24:20
So a lot of people are doing tummy tucks now.
24:23
And then there's other modalities, too. I mean, there's CoolScoping.
24:27
I've done that. CoolScoping? Have you heard of CoolSculpting?
24:30
So CoolSculpting, they freeze the fat. It's a machine that they stick on you and it freezes the fat.
24:36
I had it done on my stomach and on my arms and on my back.
24:40
Oh, wow. And it's not so fun, I will say.
24:43
It hurts? It freezes. Well, it's not comfortable.
24:46
The most uncomfortable, so they
24:48
put these pads on you for like 30 to 45 minutes and it freezes an area.
24:52
And then they take the pads off and then they put one of those vibrating massagers
24:56
on it. That's the worst part when it like they're vibrating.
24:59
Yeah, it is because all the nerves are frozen. Now, you can have nerve damage
25:02
from this. Oh, you're not going to feel this. You might not feel that spot again.
25:05
That's one of the side effects.
25:06
It can also make you grow more fat there because your body overreacts.
25:11
So you might actually get more fat there in the future.
25:13
So you have non-invasive. It is spot reduction, but you have some people have
25:17
bad effects with it. So there's always side effects. There's numbness, swelling.
25:21
It is numb for probably a good month after. Oh, wow. And then every once in
25:25
a while, they call it paradoxical fat growth if you get extra fat in that area.
25:30
Oh, wow. I know. It's like a big pocket, just balloon it up. Yeah.
25:33
Basically, your body says, oh, it was really cold there. I need to add more
25:37
cushion there for protection.
25:39
So that's one of the things, too. There's other modalities, too,
25:42
that help with weight loss, like the infrared sauna. What is that? An infrared sauna.
25:46
What is that? You know what an infrared sauna is. I just know the regular sauna.
25:49
So a sauna is something that heats you up, right? Right. And infrared actually uses infrared lights.
25:56
To heat you up as well. And it boosts your metabolism.
26:00
It improves circulation, gives you detoxification benefits, and it burns calories.
26:04
They say it burns 200 to 600 calories per session. I don't know if that's true
26:08
or not, but it's like a 30 to 45 minute session. Some people have them in their homes.
26:12
A lot of the different places you can go for modalities have them.
26:16
Oh, I see. And you go and you sit in the sauna. Now, I know a lot of the gyms
26:20
just have a regular sauna, but some of them are starting to have infrared saunas.
26:23
Yeah, that's a sauna I use.
26:25
Yeah, I do heated yoga, so it's like yoga in the sauna. Yeah.
26:29
I loved it. Some people do infrared sauna every day. Yeah.
26:32
And they go for like 30 minutes just to relax before they go to bed.
26:36
But it can cause dehydration, so you have to make sure you're drinking plenty of water. It's nice.
26:40
It is. I get tired after it, though, so I really want to sleep after it. It is.
26:45
Drink your big glass of water and crawl yourself to bed. It is.
26:48
Yeah. And you can also get the infrared saunas that are, they collapse and they
26:52
fold up and you can lay down on your bed in it. Oh, wow.
26:55
I have one of those. I need one. And then, but if you have heart issues,
26:59
you can't do it because it can mess with your heart. Oh, yeah.
27:01
And if you're constantly dehydrated or anemic, you've got to be careful with that as well.
27:06
Anemia is a main issue also. Yeah, anemia is, you can get dizzy from it, right? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
27:11
And then there's steam rooms too, right? So there's steam rooms that help as
27:14
well, but they got to get really hot for the steam rooms. The steam rooms,
27:19
yeah. Because it makes you sweat.
27:20
Yeah, I love the steam just because I feel good on my skin.
27:24
I think it actually clears out your lungs, too. So if you're about to come down
27:27
with a cold, it kind of helps with congestion.
27:30
But you can get dehydrated in that as well. In the steam room?
27:33
In the steam room, yeah. Or a wet sauna or something. Yeah, because you're still
27:36
sweating, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I see.
27:39
And it's not really effective for fat loss alone, but it does help you detox,
27:43
if you will, because you sweat.
27:45
Right. Because your skin is the biggest organ, so if you can sweat out through it, that's great.
27:49
I can't sit in a steam room too long. You know, I have my lashes on.
27:52
The last it fall off in the steam room. Mm-hmm.
27:54
They do. They do, right? Because it probably melts the—well,
27:57
so it's sauna as well. Really? It could, yeah. Yeah.
28:01
I love my son, I don't. I need to be in that. I don't know. I don't know how
28:04
the glue is on the lashes. See, they're not falling off now.
28:07
You notice that? Yeah. I'm going to get it done though after this.
28:11
So then cryotherapy is another one. Now they just say cryo is not good for women.
28:15
You know, I've heard that, but I've also heard that it is. So I've heard both.
28:19
And I think it depends on which study you're looking at, right?
28:22
And who the person is. And everybody has to be looked at differently.
28:26
Right. I love the cryo for the fact that after the hard work,
28:29
especially the spinning class, Your knee kind of sore.
28:32
I only put my feet in there up to my knee. It kind of felt like you iced your
28:36
whole legs. Yeah, because it decreases pain, decreases inflammation.
28:39
It felt really good, actually. Yeah.
28:42
I mean, I think cryotherapy, depending on what you're using it for,
28:45
can be good. It's just maybe you're not supposed to use it all the time like men do.
28:49
Right. So with inflammation, it helps. Yeah. And maybe if it's your knees,
28:53
maybe you just stick your legs in.
28:55
Yeah, that's what I do. I stick my legs in up to both my knees.
28:58
After like five minutes, it feels so good.
29:00
I will say when I was pre-period, when I get all bloated, it really helped with
29:04
that, too. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
29:06
So it depends if you want to do cryotherapy, but it's something.
29:08
There are side effects to that, too, though. You can get numb.
29:11
You can even get, what's it called, where you actually get cold burns.
29:14
Oh, like frostbite. Like a frostbite, yeah.
29:17
Oh, wow. If you have really high blood pressure, you shouldn't be doing that either.
29:21
That's the cause of what to help with high blood pressure. No,
29:23
it'll drive your blood pressure up. Oh, really? Yeah, it causes hypertension.
29:27
Doesn't mean the heat does. Huh. No, because when you're cold,
29:30
you're like shivering. Shivering, yeah. Your body tense. Ah,
29:33
you're right, yeah. You get tense.
29:35
I've had it happen when I went into a cryo machine and I had a massive migraine from the cryo machine.
29:40
But you're not supposed to, you start like one or two minutes first?
29:43
Yeah, you do. I was also a little dehydrated, I think, when I had that.
29:47
But it shot my blood pressure up pretty high, gave me a massive migraine. I had to get out.
29:50
Oh, wow. And again, you burn a couple hundred calories there.
29:54
It's not like, ooh, you're going to lose massive amounts of weight,
29:58
but it's something. So that's one of the things that helps, boost up your metabolism.
30:02
Oh, okay. Yeah. I have to keep that in mind. I've done once.
30:05
I just don't like the cold. I get it. I get it. So let's talk about what to
30:10
do after you lose some weight.
30:13
Let's say you lose weight slowly and you don't do fasting, so you don't get the top.
30:17
Now, here's the thing. Lifting weights and doing cardio also does autophagy.
30:23
It's not that you have to just fast, but if you're going to get autophagy and
30:26
you're doing cardio or doing weights, you need to do it on an empty stomach.
30:30
And then you can also get your autophagy without having to go two or three days.
30:34
That's what the trainer suggests.
30:35
You have to do your cardio and side-by-side with your weight lifting. Yes.
30:40
The body is always doing autophagy. Yeah. It's just you get more when you're fasting.
30:45
That's the only difference. Your body's always getting rid of bad cells.
30:48
Otherwise, if it wasn't always getting rid of bad cells, what would it be doing
30:51
with? It gets rid of the stuff it doesn't need. Right.
30:54
It's just it goes on to overdrive when you're water fasting or dry fasting or
30:58
working out. Yeah, yeah.
30:59
So now that you got your body in shape,
31:03
Some people do what's called Morpheus 8. Have you heard of that? No.
31:07
So it's a radio frequency. So I did it on my neck.
31:10
It's kind of like microneedling, so it's a little painful. So if you're adverse
31:15
to pain, it is not for you.
31:17
They do numb the area with the topical numbing, but you still feel it.
31:22
And basically what it does is it injects little prongs into your skin,
31:26
and then it sends radio frequency, a heated radio frequency,
31:31
which feels like it's burning the inside of your skin, into the needles. It gets really red.
31:36
It gets really hot afterwards. It's really swollen.
31:39
And then you have these holes all over your neck because they're little tiny
31:42
holes that you can see with the naked eye for, I don't know, a couple weeks.
31:46
It's so hard to be a woman. Now, you think men would do this too? No. Right? No.
31:50
I think most men would probably just go under the needle for some of this stuff too.
31:53
There have been men that do plastic surgery, but a lot of them,
31:56
they just go under the needle. But I did it for my neck.
31:58
People do it for their stomachs. people do it for their arms
32:01
and it does help tighten the skin it's not a permanent solution
32:04
really the only permanent solution if your skin doesn't come
32:07
back naturally is plastic surgery to cut it off that's it yeah that's but i
32:13
would still if you want to wait to see how your skin reforms wait two years
32:17
to see how your skin tightens up naturally do fasting and wait on how your skin
32:21
looks yeah and you can even do more fasting i mean it's not like oh you'd fasted
32:25
once and you're going to get all the autophagy.
32:27
Autophagy needs to happen all the time.
32:29
Yeah, they said it takes 21 days. 21 days for what? To become a habit, to become anything.
32:34
Oh, yes. But you don't have to fast. You don't have to water fast for 21 days.
32:38
Actually, you get the most benefit after day five. Oh, wow.
32:41
So you could do a five-day water fast and a two-day refeed and then a five-day
32:45
water fast and a two-day refeed.
32:47
And the refeed is the most important, how you come off. You don't want to go
32:50
and eat a bunch of sugar because then you just killed everything you just did.
32:53
You want to do bone broth and then increase it to maybe a little bit of soup that's not...
32:59
Too high in fat and then add a little bit
33:01
of protein and healthy fats and then add some vegetables in etc
33:04
i mean depending on what type of fast you're doing there's lots of
33:07
information out there but you don't want to refeed and
33:11
come go eat a donut donuts because i know you would diva
33:14
cat yeah i would but i would breakfast with donut anytime yeah you can't do
33:18
that yeah so you're not you're not suggesting to do that like like let's say
33:22
two weeks before vacation should we do that or no because when we go get out
33:25
on vacation you're gonna eat while i am gonna eat well you You could do an alternate
33:29
day fasting for two weeks before.
33:31
I don't think you need to do a five-day at this point, unless you want to do maybe a two-day in a row.
33:37
To go on a five-day water fast, you have to have done multiple smaller fasts. Small fast.
33:42
Because most people don't make
33:44
it past day two, because you get a headache within day one and day two.
33:48
You have to take some electrolytes when you get the headache,
33:50
and most people give up after day two.
33:51
Yeah, after three days, and why not for another day? And although I do want
33:55
to continue on Morpheus 8, but the hardest part of fasting is the social pressure. Yeah.
34:00
Because there are so many social pressures around food to go out.
34:04
What do you want to do? Let's go out for dinner.
34:07
It's weird how nobody says, let's go for a hike. Right. Or let's go for a bike ride.
34:12
You know, when we were younger, that's what we did, right?
34:14
When you were in high school, where you wanted to meet up with friends,
34:17
you didn't say, let's go out for dinner. who said, okay, I'll meet you at the
34:20
park or let's go bike riding or let's go for a walk or let's go hang out or let's go dancing.
34:27
When you get older, you're like, let's go for dinner and sit our butts down
34:31
and stuff our faces. Yeah, we don't want to do that.
34:34
Breakfast, oh, just way too early. Let's go for brunch. What a fuck brunch,
34:38
you know? So we really need to change the culture.
34:41
And it kind of starts with each of us to change the culture instead of saying,
34:45
if you're fasting, don't say, let's go for dinner.
34:47
If you're fasting, say, let's go for a hike or let's go for,
34:52
let's go golf or let's go play pickleball or something like that.
34:55
That's a better way to go unless you're able to fast and just watch other people eat, which I've done.
35:00
I've sat at dinner and I've been fasting and I'll get my water.
35:04
And they'll be eating, and I'm okay with that. Wow, talk about strong wheel.
35:08
No, it's just you get used to it. Oh, that's awesome. The decrease,
35:12
I will say, for people with autoimmunes, fasting, the amount of inflammation
35:16
that gets flushed out of your body when you're fasting is amazing.
35:20
And there's nothing better. Yeah.
35:22
Nothing better. The benefit is weight loss. The benefit is weight loss.
35:26
There is also something called EBU, and I actually get it at the New You Medical Infusion Place,
35:31
but there's something called the EBU, and that's where they actually filter
35:34
your blood and then they put ozone and oxygen into it and they ultraviolet rays
35:40
on the blood and then they stick it back in.
35:43
Wow. So you can do that or you could water fast and get rid of like toxicity
35:47
and inflammation in your blood.
35:49
Again, you can pay for the quick fix or you can do it the natural way.
35:54
Morpheus 8 is fine. It does cover, it does have some swelling.
35:58
It does cause redness. You get
36:00
scabs. It can scar. you can actually get a permit scar from it. Oh, wow.
36:05
EM Sculpt, EM Neesculpt Neo. Have you done that? No.
36:10
So that's where they put, it's like a TENS unit on steroids.
36:13
It's where they put electricity into your muscle. Okay.
36:16
And it tightens the muscle. Mm-hmm. And then it lets go. And then it tightens
36:20
the muscle. It's like you're trying to do sit-ups. If you do it on your abs,
36:22
it's like doing sit-ups for you and you're just laying there.
36:24
Yeah, I was at the event at the MESFA this weekend. That's why they tried to
36:28
promote that machine. Yeah.
36:30
They push it. It's expensive. I think it's like 500 bucks a pop.
36:33
I guess, yeah. And it doesn't work for just one. You have to continue.
36:37
No, you have to have four to six. And so I did it on my quads and I've done it on my abs.
36:42
I will say I get a better, I feel a better burn when I just do abs.
36:47
Oh, wow. It can tone you, right? It might be good for someone that has an injury.
36:53
I think that might be where it was designed for. Now it's turned into a med spa thing.
36:57
I see. If you had an injury, it would be a great way to work the area without
37:01
causing new injury. Oh, wow.
37:04
But if you can just go do abs and go work out, I think you're going to get a better result.
37:11
The boat pose. The what? The boat pose. You're going to do the boat.
37:14
Sit up to the boat and the canoe. The boat and the canoe.
37:18
Oh, the boat pose is what she's saying. So if you want to do,
37:21
I don't know what the boat pose is. I haven't seen it. But I just do, I do Russian twists.
37:26
I do leg extensions, leg walks.
37:29
So there's different types and there's body movements you can do.
37:33
That will do the same thing that EM Sculpt does. The EM Sculpt,
37:36
they say, is, you know, it's less soreness.
37:39
There's less tingling, a little bit of redness sometimes.
37:41
There's not a lot of side effects on EM Sculpt unless you had a heart condition. I see.
37:47
And it does tone you. They say, the studies show it reduces fat by 30%,
37:51
but I don't really know how because it's not really doing anything to the fat.
37:55
It's just like vibrating, tightening up. It's electric. Yeah,
37:59
it's causing an electric tightening of the muscle.
38:02
So you can do that if you want. I want to try that.
38:04
You can try it. I actually did mine because I got it free as part of my membership.
38:08
It's not an excuse for a good, healthy diet and a good workout.
38:11
Okay, I see. Can I replace that? It's not going to replace that,
38:14
no. And it doesn't do anything for your skin.
38:16
Yeah, yeah. There's also something called Ultrashape, and that's ultrasound
38:20
that is to break up fat cells.
38:24
That's non-invasive. It's permanent fat cells. It's a little bit painful.
38:28
You can cause temporary redness and swelling.
38:31
And sometimes bruising, too. Oh, wow. I haven't done that one.
38:35
I've heard people have gotten some decent results from it. And then there's
38:38
a massage. Massage. I'm so about massages.
38:42
I like massage. Me, too. Now, have you ever had a lymphatic drainage massage?
38:46
No. The lymphatic drainage massage, I've had a couple. I don't really like them
38:50
because they're so soft. I see. It's more of circulating fluids.
38:54
And they say I'm getting a benefit from it. But honestly, for me,
38:58
I don't feel them pounding on me.
39:00
You don't feel the massage. I don't feel the massage. But it's supposed to reduce water retention.
39:05
A lot of people will do it after they've had surgery.
39:09
It helps with circulation. So if you're diabetic and you have circulation problems,
39:13
it can help with that. If you have any type of edema or swelling in your limbs,
39:17
it can help with that, too.
39:20
And I know a lot of diabetics get that, too, right? They get the edema in their legs.
39:24
I've done lymphatic massage when I was really inflamed, and it was okay,
39:29
but I think I'd still rather go for a deep tissue.
39:31
Oh, yeah. Deep tissue is anything, girl.
39:35
Yeah. I love my deep tissue massage. No three days, none of that deep tissue.
39:38
I will say when I did the lymphatic, I did have to go to the bathroom right after.
39:43
And I was tired. I had to try that. Yeah. And the thing is, is they're not any
39:47
cheaper than regular massage.
39:49
Oh, nice. If you feel it, why you want to get it? Yeah. Yeah.
39:52
I like a deep tissue massage.
39:53
I actually prefer a Thai massage where they actually walk on you.
39:56
Oh, I love those. But don't you feel the next day? I feel like I got run by the truck.
40:01
I feel like I had a good workout. I feel like I get run by the truck for the
40:04
next two days. But then after I pass that, it falls.
40:07
If I had the time, I would get one every day. Is it really? I totally would.
40:11
My muscles get so tight because I lift weights a lot, and they get so tight
40:17
that just to loosen it up, I would do it every day.
40:19
They step on you, take their hand from the ceiling. Yeah, I like that.
40:23
Well, they do other. It's not just, they don't just walk on you the whole time,
40:26
but they walk on you, and then they massage you, and then they use elbows.
40:30
They work your whole body out. Yeah, yes. Absolutely.
40:34
It's nearby. I'll take you there. Yeah. Yeah. And then there's body wraps.
40:38
This is more of a detox. Have you done one about body wraps?
40:41
So body wraps are nice, too. So they wrap you in seaweed or they can wrap you
40:46
in like ace bandages and then put some type of chemical on you.
40:49
No, isn't a mud bath looking like? They can wrap you in mud.
40:52
It can definitely be a mud wrap. Some of them are for detoxification.
40:57
Some of them are for weight loss. Some of them are for skin tightening.
41:01
So it depends on what type of body wrap you get. They can be herbal.
41:04
They can be clay. And people even do them with infrared now.
41:07
Like they're laying in a bed while they're wrapped in something.
41:10
That's awesome. That's got to feel so good after. Yeah, you have to be careful,
41:14
though, because you might have like an allergy reaction to something.
41:17
Oh, what they use. What they use. So you have to test it out, see what works for you.
41:22
There's also cupping, which is supposed to help with surgery.
41:26
Or not surgery. That's supposed to help with circulation. Yeah,
41:29
I'm done cupping. I love it. I have a knot on my shoulders. You like cupping? I like cupping.
41:34
I did the mark for two weeks. My acupuncturist does cupping. Yeah.
41:38
And so sometimes I'll do cupping instead of acupuncture. Uh-huh.
41:41
And that's nice, too. It helps with circulation and pain reduction.
41:45
And then there's acupuncture. We didn't talk about that. Oh, yeah.
41:47
They have acupuncture for weight loss. There is acupuncture for weight loss. Uh-huh.
41:51
And so some people will do acupuncture for weight loss, and the acupuncture
41:55
will help reset their channels so the weight actually flows better and you can detox better, etc.
42:02
They say they control changing your appetite, too. Yeah, you can change your appetite.
42:06
You can change your addictions. Addictions, yeah. Oh, then we should also say,
42:10
you know, along with acupuncture, you could also do hypnosis.
42:15
I've heard about the weight loss hypnosis. Yeah, weight loss hypnosis is something.
42:19
Back then, it was a thing.
42:20
If you're easily suggestible, it might be your thing to help you beat an addiction.
42:25
Yes, yeah. Back then was a thing, but I think right now there's some microchile
42:30
I took over. I personally would rather water fast because it's extreme.
42:34
Water fasting is extreme, too, but at least I have control over it. Yeah.
42:38
Whereas when I put chemicals in my body or I cut part of my body out,
42:42
I wouldn't have control anymore. Yeah, yeah.
42:44
I tell you, though, 50% of people I know are on some microtects. I know.
42:49
Almost everybody I know is on it now. It's gotten to the point where I'm worried
42:53
about what type of cancers are going to come. There's not a long-term study on it.
42:56
Yeah. They said you're going to lose muscle after if you've been on for too long.
43:00
You lose the fan, lose the muscle, lose everything else, your brain, your mind, your hair.
43:05
Well, I guess you need to probably be doing some amino acids while you're on
43:09
it, as well as extra training, extra weightlifting, and you probably need to
43:13
make sure you get enough protein. Yeah, yeah, make sure you eat right, too, and yeah.
43:17
Because I know somebody was on for a good five years. Wow.
43:21
Yeah, I mean, she was on straight up for like a year. You know,
43:25
there was somebody that fasted for 386 days, water fasted. My God.
43:30
He lost hundreds of pounds, and that was the long, and it was medically supervised.
43:34
He's still alive? Yeah, he lived after that. He didn't gain the weight back.
43:37
That's awesome, because your brain's already trained you to that.
43:40
Yeah, I met this lady at the event this weekend.
43:43
She said she was on semi-brutile, like, a whole year.
43:47
But then when she get to her weight, the target weight, and then she was off
43:50
for a while, but now she's back on, off and off, because she gained her weight
43:54
back. Yeah, so the longest water fast, if you don't want to go on semiglutides,
43:58
you could do a water fast.
43:58
The longest water fast was 392 days.
44:01
Wow. A year, two months, and three days. You saved a lot of money on grocery bill.
44:05
He did. He lost 276 pounds in 392 days.
44:10
And he didn't gain it back. His name was Angus Barbieri.
44:14
He's Spanish. Scottish. Scottish. Us damn Scots.
44:18
Us Scottish people. We are crazy. So there's a facility to go to do that.
44:23
Well, this was back in 1966.
44:26
Oh, wow. So he was medically supervised. I started in June of 65,
44:30
and then he went into the next year into July of 1966.
44:34
But after 382 days, and he lived in Scotland, and they wanted to see what happened.
44:39
And he went from an extremely obese man to losing all this weight. Oh, wow.
44:45
It was a year. He was a big guy. To lose 276 pounds and live after it is pretty massive.
44:52
Yeah, he probably could live all diabetic, blood pressures, all of that,
44:56
too. There's also a recent guy who's called himself the Fasting Fat Man. He's on YouTube.
45:01
I think his channel is the Fasting Fat Man. He went for like six months.
45:05
Six months. And he lost hundreds of pounds. He averaged like,
45:08
I think, a pound and a quarter every day weight loss. Doing water only. He did water.
45:14
He did electrolytes.
45:16
He did some type of yeast for protein. And he did a multivitamin.
45:21
A couple other things. He's got his whole protocol if you're interested online.
45:24
But that's another way. So does protein shake consider fasting or no?
45:28
No, that would break your fast. That would break your fast. Yeah. Okay.
45:32
You could do, when you're fasting, you can do water with lemon,
45:34
you can do coffee, you can do tea, but you don't want to break your fast. Yeah.
45:38
There's also cavitation, which is ultrasound fat reduction.
45:42
Oh, wow. That's becoming popular where they're basically they're sending ultrasound
45:46
into your body to disrupt the cells and it's causing fat reduction.
45:49
But it can cause bloating, discomfort.
45:51
And if you have liver disorder, you can't do it. Wow. Because it can mess with
45:54
it can cause too much toxins to flood your body. So I can't do it.
45:58
Yeah. And a lot of people have liver problems that don't even know it.
46:01
Until they've done it. Until they've done it. Yeah.
46:04
Hmm. And then you also, there's also another modality called red light therapy,
46:08
which I know everyone's doing lately.
46:10
The red light therapy? Yeah. Everybody's got all different kinds. It's all over online.
46:14
Well, I know red light therapy for like our skin. Yeah, it's for your skin.
46:17
It can also help stimulate cellular energy, which means it's messing with your
46:20
mitochondria a little bit. It can reduce fat.
46:24
It's a can. It's not a guarantee. Okay. And it helps with your skin elasticity.
46:28
And I know it helps with inflammation too. So that's something you could do.
46:32
I see. I know everybody's doing red light therapy. They sell all kinds of...
46:36
I've got a red light everywhere.
46:38
I saw that on Amazon a lot. It's big now. And all the different med spas have red light therapy.
46:45
Red light therapy, your whole body, not just your face. And a lot of people
46:48
with facials, when you get a facial, they do red light therapy.
46:51
There's lasers. There's radio frequency you can do on your skin.
46:56
There's ultherapy, which is ultrasound therapy. I've done that on my neck.
47:00
Tighten the skin. It's supposed to help with collagen.
47:02
It's for bed loss too? It's more for skin tightening. Okay. Most people do it
47:06
on their neck or their stomach.
47:08
But it can cause irritation and bruising as well. And then there's Thermage,
47:14
which Thermage is good for under your arms.
47:16
And I know under your arms is a big one. I've done Thermage as well. Wow. Yeah.
47:21
Thermage can be for your face or for your arms. It can cause redness,
47:25
swelling, et cetera. But some people are doing that too. That's an RF energy.
47:30
I call them weapons, but it's actually just a RF energy modality. Absolutely.
47:35
Probably every... Every, once a year. Oh, wow. Once a year. Okay.
47:38
And then there's high frequency. It's called HIFU, high frequency ultrasound. You can do that.
47:44
So there's just different types of modalities, but you know one of the best
47:47
things to do for your skin? And I told you about this a couple weeks ago.
47:50
Water fast. Besides water fasting, that's going to tighten and do autophagy, but microneedling.
47:54
Oh, yeah. So if you're fasting, if you could do microneedling once a month.
47:59
So microneedling is like this roller that's got little tiny needles in it.
48:02
It hurts. It doesn't hurt that much. Yeah, it hurts. It doesn't hurt that much. Okay.
48:07
If you think that hurts, you can't do any of the other modalities.
48:10
You cannot do melorphia site.
48:11
You cannot do thermage. You cannot do old therapy.
48:15
All of these things hurt way more than microneedling.
48:19
So, yeah, no RF technologies, no radio frequency.
48:23
Don't do any of them. Oh, wow. So if you can't handle microneedling,
48:26
you can't handle that. So microneedling is the start.
48:29
Microneedling is the start. It's very gentle. Did you just do it on your face
48:33
or did you do it other places? Under my arm, right here. Yeah,
48:36
so you can do it under your arms.
48:38
I just do my arm. Okay, so under your arms. And your body will get used to it after one or two times.
48:43
But once a month, do microneedling. You can do it on your belly.
48:46
You can do it on your arms and your inner thighs, which is kind of the problem areas for women.
48:53
And microneedling is very beneficial for people. It helps with collagen.
48:57
Basically, it's kind of doing to your skin what weightlifting is doing to your muscle, right?
49:02
Because when you're lifting weights, you're tearing the muscle.
49:05
You're making little tiny micro tears in the muscle, and then it's getting stronger and growing.
49:09
When you're doing microneedling, it's making little tiny holes in your skin,
49:12
which is going to make the skin, it's going to trigger collagen production and
49:16
make the skin heal itself.
49:18
Wow. And it helps with minimizing pores and gets rid of scars.
49:21
And so if you have a scar, like let's say you do this plastic surgery on your
49:25
arms, you could help get rid of your scar that way.
49:27
I see, I see. If you've had the C-section, it'll help get rid of a C-section, yes. But I like it.
49:33
Mm-hmm. Yep. I had a C-section, but the doctor did it. It's very,
49:38
very good, though. I don't see any.
49:40
Then the other thing is you can do a vampire facial for your body.
49:44
You can't wait to see that. So I'm going to do one the week before we go on our trip. I can't wait.
49:49
Okay. So basically, you come back and you have blood all over your face. It's true.
49:53
And what they do is they microneedle, and then they put your own platelets back on your face.
49:58
It's supposed to promote healing with collagen. It helps with your skin elasticity.
50:02
And the tone. It doesn't really do anything with pigments, though.
50:05
So if you have, like, freckles and things like that, but you can also do it
50:09
on your belly. You can do it on your arms.
50:11
Anywhere you want to add collagen, and people are starting to do vampire bodies,
50:15
not just vampire facials.
50:16
Probably help tone up your abs, too, no? You think? The skin.
50:19
It's not going to tone your abs. It's going to tighten the skin.
50:22
Tighten the skin. Yeah. And that's, again, microneedling.
50:24
Yeah. So it's microneedling plus plasma.
50:27
Mm-hmm. And then there is laser skin tightening.
50:31
That's a big one, too. It's a big one. So I've done the BBLs, which is an IPL laser.
50:37
Now, it's not a butt. The BBLs can also be a plastic surgery where you actually
50:41
widen your butt. That's not what I'm talking about.
50:43
The broadband laser is also a BBL. It's a type of an IPL.
50:47
I thought it was a Brazilian butt lip or something. No, I've never done that. My butt's still small.
50:51
I know a person that did that and ended up with the cause of speck infection. Oh.
50:57
Yeah. She was in hospital for six months. Oh, my God. Septic?
51:01
Was it septic? There's a septic infection. Oh, my gosh. Just die from that. You can die from that.
51:05
Yeah, but I thought that's why the Brazilian bloodlapy, kind of like of the
51:09
procedure now. Yeah. No, you can still do a Brazilian.
51:13
People are still doing it. Just it's not popular anymore. I know a friend that did it as well.
51:18
You can do it. It's just not popular anymore. Yeah. BBL is an IPL.
51:22
You can use the IPL laser. Now, here's the thing. You can use it on your face.
51:25
Okay. You can use it on your body. And that's going to help with pigmentation.
51:29
So freckles, yes, it helps get rid of freckles. and you can use it on different parts of your skin.
51:33
Yeah, each spot. Yep. And then there's the CO2, which helps with texture as well as appearance.
51:40
The CO2 laser, you can do face, body, anywhere on your body,
51:44
and people are using it in their vulva area.
51:48
So the vulva area, because it tightens it, makes it all pretty down there.
51:52
Like you're teenagers. Like you're a teenager again.
51:55
And then there's the fraxel laser. I haven't done that. And then you can also
51:59
do a halo. Although halo might be a Fraxel. The halo is very invasive.
52:04
It's invasive and minimally invasive, but it goes pretty deep.
52:07
You've done that already? I've done the halo too.
52:09
So the halo, my face swells up twice the size.
52:13
I will show you pictures later, but my face is small. I've got a small head,
52:16
right? When I do a halo, my face looks twice the size. Oh, wow.
52:20
And the inflammation stays for about two or three days, and then it slowly comes
52:24
down, but I look like I have no eyes. Okay.
52:26
Get all puffy up? Yeah, they're little tiny eyes.
52:30
My eyes are only tiny and my face... Well, you wouldn't be able to see.
52:32
Yeah, I won't be able to go anywhere.
52:34
You won't be able to see. But my eyes swell up and so you can only see a little...
52:37
It's crazy when I do that.
52:39
Wow. Yeah. And then there's facial cupping too and body cupping.
52:42
We talked about that a little bit. Body cupping, yes.
52:45
Yep. And then you can Botox your body as well. The whole body?
52:49
The whole body. You can do certain parts of your body too.
52:51
People have been doing it for migraines in their neck and in their jaw.
52:56
Some people are doing for like the sweat underdog. Yes, or your hands.
53:00
If you have sweaty palms that get really clammy, you can do it too.
53:04
It's not a permanent fix, but it can stop the sweatiness.
53:08
There's just a lot of different modalities that you can do to help your skin
53:13
that will help your body that you can work on.
53:16
You got to love the science. You got to love the science from the massages to the acupuncture.
53:22
And then there's even things you can work on psychologically. Like what?
53:26
Cognitive Behavior Therapy, CBT. Cognitive Behavior Therapy,
53:30
also CBT for weight loss.
53:32
Like you see therapies to move your brain, not to... To help you with your emotional eating.
53:37
Emotional eating. Yeah. Wow. So you go talk to a therapist about why you have...
53:41
You get up at 2 o'clock in the morning and you go eat.
53:43
About why you eat when somebody yells at you. Yeah. You know,
53:46
you work through the emotional ties to food.
53:49
There is therapy for that, though. For sure. I know for sure.
53:53
Because before the gastric bypass, you're supposed to see psychology first.
53:57
And after that, you still have to go see therapy for the way you eat,
54:01
all of that to train your mind to eat the right way. To eat better.
54:05
Yeah. So the therapy helps. Now, a lot of this is just first world problems.
54:09
It's what you eat. That's it. It's what you eat, but you don't have these problems
54:13
in other places that don't have all this processed crappy food. Yeah, that's true, too.
54:18
It's so good, though. I love carbs. Well, that's because you love sugar and
54:21
carbs are sugar, right? I love sugar, yeah. So you're addicted to the sugar in the carbs.
54:27
Interesting that all these therapies are here to make us look better because
54:33
of all the crappy food we eat. And that's what it really comes down to.
54:36
Yeah. People are trying to fix a bad diet by spending thousands of dollars on
54:42
these different modalities between microneedling and Morpheus 8 and Neosculpt
54:48
and all these different things to fix their skin and fix their bodies when a
54:51
lot of it could be fixed with just a better diet.
54:54
That's all it is. You're just going to fix. Those are a lot cheaper,
54:57
actually, too, right? It's a lot cheaper. I mean, water fasting is free.
55:02
Yeah. Even the GLP-1s, they're not crazy priced comparatively.
55:07
So let's say you have inflammation in joints. There's CRP, which is platelet-rich
55:11
plasma, which you can inject into joints to help with pain, to help with inflammation,
55:16
and to help with tears. But you can also do stem cells now.
55:19
They want to do that on my knees. Stem cells? Stem cells.
55:22
The platelet-rich plasma.
55:25
So I will say, if you're going to do the plasma, you should also do a soft wave.
55:29
Do you know what the soft wave is?
55:31
Soft wave is really good for joints. It takes the inflammation out.
55:34
It helps stimulate stem cells.
55:37
And it takes a lot of the pain away. It hurts when they're doing it.
55:41
But when they're done, you're like, oh, I feel so much better already.
55:45
It does. I've done that as well. I honestly, I've done almost every modality out there.
55:50
You are? Yeah, I literally have done it all.
55:53
Well, you're itching backward, I'll tell you that much. And some things I think
55:56
helped me more than others.
55:58
And I did stem cells too. Yeah. So I've done stem cells in nearly every joint.
56:03
So I did my ankles, my knees, my hips, my shoulders, my elbows.
56:08
No, my shoulders, my spine, every vertebrae in my spine. They put you to sleep at home. And my neck.
56:14
Yes. And what they did is they take and they mix stem cells.
56:19
Now, I did pre-COVID stem cells.
56:22
They mix stem cells with your own bone marrow, and that's what they can do in the United States.
56:29
So that's what I had done here.
56:31
And that helped.
56:33
A little bit. Causes inflammation, though, at first. I did water fast before
56:38
and after to make sure my body was ready to receive it.
56:41
The stem cells are very beneficial because they're young stem cells,
56:45
right? They're from a placenta. They're not from a baby. They're not from aborted tissue.
56:49
They're from a placenta that was donated. So after a baby's born,
56:53
people donate the placentas.
56:55
Yeah, that's what they turn that to be the stem cells. Then they take the stem
57:00
cells from the placenta.
57:02
Now, they're not your own. If you have the ability to bank your,
57:05
like, let's say you have a baby.
57:07
If you have the ability to bank the stem cells and the cord blood,
57:11
I highly recommend doing that because that can help you with cellular repair
57:15
in the future. In the future.
57:16
So I do highly recommend that going forward for longevity as well as curing cancers.
57:22
I see. Potentially might even be able to grow organs from it in the future.
57:26
That's extremely important.
57:28
Wow. And then I went to Panama. Panama?
57:31
Panama City, Panama. Oh, wow. I did IV stem cells.
57:35
So when I was there, I did my ankle, my knee, and my shoulder because I have torn.
57:40
I have a bad. I have a very bad arthritic ankle from gymnastics.
57:43
I had a torn meniscus and I had torn rotator cuff.
57:47
And I did stem cell injections in all three. Then I did IV. So three days of IV. Oh, wow.
57:53
And in Panama, it's not as fun. So when I was here and I did the stem cells, they put me under.
57:59
When I went to Panama, you're awake. Oh, no. And they don't numb it.
58:03
So when they stick that needle in your ankle into your joint,
58:08
they just hold you down. Oh. And then they stick it into your knee.
58:11
I think my ankle. They like strapped you down to do all that.
58:14
No, they just, the nurse just helped me. I was okay.
58:17
I was just like, holy crap. But I can take a lot of pain. But you can take pain though. Yeah.
58:21
And then in my knee, they did stem cells in my knee and they injected you on your knee.
58:26
They don't guide it with an ultrasound like they do here.
58:29
It's a little bit more Wild West in Panama, I will say.
58:32
Even though it was a really nice clinic, it was part of the RMI clinic, the Reardon clinic.
58:39
Tony Robbins has gone there and some big professional sports people have gone
58:43
there and had their shoulders done and had their knees done.
58:46
You feel better, except if they do your knee, you can't walk.
58:49
So I couldn't walk for two weeks after they did my knee
58:52
because yeah and you're not supposed to stand on it anyway
58:55
except for like I could go to the bathroom but I was in a wheelchair for almost
58:58
two weeks and it was right around the holidays so like it wouldn't let me walk
59:01
for more than a block at a time were you scared I would be so scared no I was
59:05
okay you're actually supposed to take somebody but I went by myself you're a
59:09
great woman man and then and then I did three days of IVs which
59:14
the stem cells are in the IVs. Oh, wow. So that kind of helps your organs as
59:18
well. Well, you feel better. You do. You did good now.
59:22
Yeah. And there are people that do stem cells every year. Wow.
59:25
And the stem cells in Panama are pre-COVID and pre-Zika.
59:28
Zika was a disease that affected women that were having babies.
59:32
And then the baby's heads would come out all deformed. All deformed.
59:35
Remember that? Yes, yes, yes.
59:37
So the stem cells that they have banked in Panama are from prior to the Zika
59:42
outbreak, which is important.
59:44
Yeah, you don't want to end up with that. You don't want to end up with Zika,
59:46
even if you're not having babies.
59:48
Right. You are one tough cookie. No, not really. I think a lot of people,
59:52
when you get pushed against a wall, you come out swinging, right?
59:56
If you get backed up against a wall, you do what is healthy for you.
1:00:00
Yeah, yeah. You do what you got to do. You're all right. You're all right. Yeah.
1:00:04
So we do what we do to take care of ourselves. Yes, yes. Well,
1:00:08
whatever you've done, it's doing great.
1:00:09
But nonetheless, so today we've talked about how to lose weight with modalities,
1:00:14
how to lose weight the natural way, how to tighten your skin.
1:00:18
How to keep it off. And then there's plastic surgery. Plastic surgery.
1:00:22
I'm not there yet. Well, we're not there yet, but next time we're going to cover
1:00:25
plastic surgery and different types of plastic surgery procedures.
1:00:29
So that way people can understand that there are procedures if you want a permanent fix.
1:00:34
There are procedures if you want a permanent fix
1:00:37
that you can do in order
1:00:40
to make things tight forever yeah but
1:00:43
you just don't have like like you have a tummy tuck just make sure you don't
1:00:46
gain weight you gain your weight back yes also if you do your face you might
1:00:49
have to do your face again yeah that i know for sure you just have to realize
1:00:53
sometimes you have to do things more than once of course i don't know i'm 60
1:00:57
now i think i'm ready for like a minute left on my minute lift Yes.
1:01:01
You can do a whole body lift. You can do a facelift. Whole body lift.
1:01:04
That's going to be painful. They take everything and they lift it.
1:01:07
Your arms, your hips, your legs, your back, your stomach.
1:01:10
They lift it all. Let's talk about the 360, Mommy McGraw. No,
1:01:13
we'll do that next time. Yes.
1:01:15
Next time we're going to cover plastic surgery. So tune in next time for that.
1:01:19
I think we covered most of the modalities that are out there right now for people.
1:01:23
I think so too. Next time, tune in. If there's something that we missed that
1:01:27
you want to hear from us about, please do reach out. but I think I've covered
1:01:30
most of the things I've done at least.
1:01:32
Yeah, I think so too. But to me, I think everything starts from what you eat.
1:01:36
You are what you eat. It is. 80% of how you look is from your food. Your food.
1:01:41
So, yeah, just keep that in mind. Keep that in mind. And water, water, water.
1:01:45
And everybody wants the quick fix and the pill, but there's always a side effect related to it. Yeah.
1:01:51
So if you start with food and the water, water, eat right, you're going to be
1:01:56
very, that's a healthy way.
1:01:58
That is the healthy way. But all those are my goals. I hope, though.
1:02:00
I agree. Well, this is Diva Mia. I'm going to sign off for now.
