- 0:31Speaker 3: Hey, er oh, thanks so much for having me.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Oh my god, of course I want to have you
- 0:35Speaker 1: on here because you are in touch with where we
- 0:37Speaker 1: need to grow and if we don't start going there.
- 0:40Speaker 1: And here's the reason why I am seeing more people
- 0:44Speaker 1: today with skin cancer and they're all going, I don't know,
- 0:48Speaker 1: I guess it's a part of life. And I'm thinking,
- 0:50Speaker 1: Don Jackson's not going to put up with this. There's
- 0:53Speaker 1: no way she's going to allow this to happen like this.
- 0:56Speaker 3: Well, you are absolutely right that our nutrition can play
- 0:59Speaker 3: a huge role in you know, skin health. And you
- 1:02Speaker 3: know so at the end of the day, you know
- 1:04Speaker 3: it's still doing the right things like using your sunscreen
- 1:07Speaker 3: and all that. But yeah, nutrition plates this absolute core,
- 1:12Speaker 3: integral part of healthy, strong skin.
- 1:15Speaker 1: You know what's really interesting here, I would like to
- 1:17Speaker 1: know if the German philosopher Ludwig Fewer back in eighteen
- 1:21Speaker 1: fifty when he coined the phrase you are what you eat,
- 1:24Speaker 1: if he actually knew what he was talking about.
- 1:27Speaker 3: I mean, genius, right, I mean that is a phrase
- 1:30Speaker 3: that I absolutely love. And there's also a new phrase
- 1:32Speaker 3: that I got to say I'm all about as well.
- 1:35Speaker 3: So it's eat your skin care. Oh, because a lot
- 1:39Speaker 3: of people these days, you know, they think about moisturizers
- 1:42Speaker 3: or serums and things they put on their skin, but
- 1:45Speaker 3: when it comes to you know, skin health and a
- 1:47Speaker 3: beauty routine, it really starts with what's on your plate,
- 1:50Speaker 3: you know, not just what you're slathering on, because those
- 1:53Speaker 3: nutrients actually can build that stronger, healthier skin and hair
- 1:57Speaker 3: and protect you against things like damage from the sun
- 2:00Speaker 3: and pollution and stress. And so you know, I really
- 2:03Speaker 3: I like to phrase et your skincare. Actually, you know what,
- 2:06Speaker 3: I was just down a beauty aisle the other day,
- 2:09Speaker 3: and I will say about half of it was you know,
- 2:12Speaker 3: steums and potions, and the other half was more about
- 2:15Speaker 3: this idea of eating the actual nutrients. So there were
- 2:18Speaker 3: like nutrients in the aisle. It's pretty cool.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I love that idea because I'm into not only the mind,
- 2:24Speaker 1: body and soul, but the outside appearance. Not out of conceit,
- 2:28Speaker 1: but because I'm trying prevention first.
- 2:31Speaker 2: I don't want to fix what I ignored. If you know
- 2:33Speaker 2: what I mean, well, and they go together.
- 2:36Speaker 3: I mean, the thing is is that you're eating nutrients
- 2:39Speaker 3: that are you know, fibers and antioxidants and minerals, and
- 2:43Speaker 3: it's helping your outside well, of course, it's helping your
- 2:46Speaker 3: overall health as well, so you know, when it comes
- 2:49Speaker 3: to looking your best, it ends up being an overall
- 2:53Speaker 3: healthy thing to do, and you also feel better when
- 2:55Speaker 3: you're eating all these nutrients.
- 2:57Speaker 1: Well, I gotta ask you, and it's only because I'm
- 2:59Speaker 1: sixty four, but I'm accused of always being thirty five.
- 3:03Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing right, except that I
- 3:05Speaker 1: really do pay close attention to what I'm eating. And
- 3:08Speaker 1: I think that's the reason why I'm drawn to what
- 3:10Speaker 1: you're doing, because you get it.
- 3:12Speaker 2: I'm not so weird when I'm around.
- 3:14Speaker 3: You, that's right. I have full respect of what you're
- 3:18Speaker 3: up to. I mean, you know, when it comes to
- 3:20Speaker 3: people saying, oh, well, what can I do? You know,
- 3:23Speaker 3: it's you drink your water, eat your protein, exercise, beauty sleep.
- 3:27Speaker 3: All those foundational things are right. But I have one
- 3:31Speaker 3: standout beauty boosting food that I'm always encouraging people to
- 3:34Speaker 3: eat more of, and that's natural delight madule dates. So
- 3:39Speaker 3: I don't know if you know, but dates are like
- 3:42Speaker 3: naturally so sweet and taste like caramel, but they have
- 3:45Speaker 3: no added sugar. That's the dietician in me that loves that.
- 3:48Speaker 3: You know, I love it to taste delicious, but then
- 3:50Speaker 3: I love that there's no added sugar. And when it
- 3:52Speaker 3: comes to dates and beauty or you know, like skincare
- 3:57Speaker 3: and hair, there's three key beauty newts in their fiber
- 4:02Speaker 3: minerals like potassium, magnesium and copper and antioxidants. So those
- 4:07Speaker 3: three beauty nutrients in dates are really pulling like a
- 4:10Speaker 3: heavy load because you know, when you're eating fiber, it's
- 4:13Speaker 3: helpful for blood, sugar and your gut help and that
- 4:16Speaker 3: helps with clear skin. Minerals like I said, potastium, magnesium, copper,
- 4:20Speaker 3: this is huge for collagen production and also hydration of
- 4:24Speaker 3: your skin, and minerals are great for your hair. And
- 4:27Speaker 3: then antioxidants in dates, and they're also polypenols in there.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Those are great for bright skin and smooth skin. So
- 4:35Speaker 3: you know you must be in your diet getting things
- 4:37Speaker 3: like fiber and minerals and antioxidants in a big way.
- 4:41Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Don Jackson Blantner
- 4:43Speaker 1: coming up next. What are you eating for your skin
- 4:49Speaker 1: and outside appearance? Uh oh, we are back with Don
- 4:52Speaker 1: Jackson Blantner. I'm a freak. I'm a third degree black
- 4:56Speaker 1: belt and that's exactly what they teach us in taking
- 4:58Speaker 1: care of the temple base. But you bring up a
- 5:01Speaker 1: very interesting thing about dates, and this is where you're
- 5:03Speaker 1: going to say, my god, he's kind of a butt.
- 5:05Speaker 1: But because I work at a grocery store and when
- 5:08Speaker 1: people come up to me and they say, I'm looking
- 5:10Speaker 1: for the dates, I don't let him go to the
- 5:13Speaker 1: stuff with with all of the chemicals and things in it.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I take them to the produce department because they got
- 5:20Speaker 1: them there and they're all natural people need to go
- 5:22Speaker 1: to the produce department.
- 5:25Speaker 3: I absolutely I mean, you are speaking my language. We
- 5:28Speaker 3: are like right on. You will get an A plus
- 5:31Speaker 3: from this dietician because you're absolutely right. You know people
- 5:34Speaker 3: have a sweet tooth, so you know, a lot of
- 5:36Speaker 3: the common advice is like, if you have a sweet tooth,
- 5:38Speaker 3: you know, here's what you can do to fight it.
- 5:40Speaker 3: And I don't believe in that at all. I say,
- 5:42Speaker 3: if you have a sweet tooth, there are natural no
- 5:44Speaker 3: added sugar wys to help, and that's fruit, like the
- 5:47Speaker 3: natural delights and the dual dates, and it's great. You
- 5:50Speaker 3: don't have to suffer to eat healthy. You know, you
- 5:53Speaker 3: can actually eat food that tastes great. And so like
- 5:56Speaker 3: when I'm eating dates, I will eat them right out
- 5:58Speaker 3: of the package. But I also have recipes that have
- 6:01Speaker 3: been some really go tos that help with you know,
- 6:05Speaker 3: getting well rounded nutrition. Like I use dates in a
- 6:09Speaker 3: date glow bowl I call it, and that's with Greek
- 6:12Speaker 3: yogurt as the base for protein and probiotics, and then
- 6:16Speaker 3: I slice up some Kiwi on there for vitamin C
- 6:19Speaker 3: and I have pumpkin seeds on there per zing, and
- 6:22Speaker 3: then of course it's a date global, so I chop
- 6:24Speaker 3: up module dates on top and that is a well balanced,
- 6:27Speaker 3: great breakfast or could it even be a snack too,
- 6:30Speaker 3: So that's like one of my go to date recipes.
- 6:33Speaker 3: But I think you might love this other one that
- 6:36Speaker 3: I do. Every week, I make a batch of cookie
- 6:40Speaker 3: dough duffed dates. Okay, cookie dough duff dates. And I'm
- 6:44Speaker 3: a dietician. I care about good nutrition, but I do
- 6:47Speaker 3: like a little something sweet, but I don't want it
- 6:50Speaker 3: to have all this added sugar. So when you use dates,
- 6:52Speaker 3: there's no added sugar, which is naturally sweet. And so
- 6:55Speaker 3: I mixed up like almond flour, peanut butter, vanilla, and
- 6:58Speaker 3: some dark chocolate chips and then and I smash that
- 7:00Speaker 3: into a date half and I mean, they are just great.
- 7:04Speaker 3: And one of the things that's interesting is that sugar
- 7:08Speaker 3: is usually not good for your skin, but because dates
- 7:11Speaker 3: are naturally stuuit with no added sugar, that actually supports
- 7:14Speaker 3: your skin. So I think that's a good swap for
- 7:16Speaker 3: people who are looking to, you know, have less added
- 7:19Speaker 3: sugar in their diet. As a cookie dough stuff, dates
- 7:22Speaker 3: is a swap. And actually, I wonder if you hear
- 7:25Speaker 3: about this, because you're so up on everything. There's this
- 7:27Speaker 3: new trend of doing date seed coffee of the date
- 7:33Speaker 3: and you rinse it off and roast it in the oven,
- 7:36Speaker 3: and then you grind it and brew it like you
- 7:38Speaker 3: would coffee, but what you end up getting is a
- 7:41Speaker 3: decapped coffee alternative that's very high in antioxidants.
- 7:46Speaker 1: Wow, now that is news to me because I'm like
- 7:49Speaker 1: everybody else. I don't have a cup of coffee in
- 7:51Speaker 1: the morning. I have a barrel of coffee.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Yeah, you know what I do. I love my coffee too,
- 7:57Speaker 3: and it is, you know, high on antioxidants and great.
- 7:59Speaker 3: But when you turn into the afternoon, I feel like
- 8:02Speaker 3: where coffee goes wrong for a lot of people is
- 8:05Speaker 3: it's too late in the day and interrupt sleep. So
- 8:07Speaker 3: something like a date seed coffee being an awesome swap
- 8:11Speaker 3: more toward the afternoon and evening when you're looking for,
- 8:14Speaker 3: you know, a ritual that you enjoy, but you're you know,
- 8:17Speaker 3: getting decass alternative.
- 8:19Speaker 1: You're so where can people go to find out more
- 8:22Speaker 1: about you? Because ten minutes with you is never going
- 8:24Speaker 1: to be enough. And you are a wealth of not
- 8:27Speaker 1: only knowledge, but you are the walk in the way,
- 8:30Speaker 1: if you know what I mean. The way is how
- 8:32Speaker 1: we determine our life and how we start growing forward.
- 8:35Speaker 2: So you are the way.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Oh I'm so inspired by you, you know, so nice
- 8:40Speaker 3: to be with you. So if you're looking to eat
- 8:42Speaker 3: more Natural Delight module dates you can find them in
- 8:45Speaker 3: Amazon and recipes that we talked about way more even
- 8:50Speaker 3: you can go to naturaldelights dot com.
- 8:52Speaker 1: It's so simple and yet and yeah, yet, we all
- 8:54Speaker 1: want to fight the system and I just don't understand it.
- 8:57Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, we're going into the summer months.
- 8:59Speaker 1: The summer it untenning lotions around and inside my mind,
- 9:02Speaker 1: I'm going, God, dang, why are you putting all those
- 9:04Speaker 1: chemicals on you? There has to be a better and
- 9:07Speaker 1: healthier way to get through this storm.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I'm a big fan of doing all
- 9:14Speaker 3: the things, but you got to start somewhere, right, So
- 9:16Speaker 3: when somebody thinks about, like what's the first step, it's like, well, hey,
- 9:19Speaker 3: can you get some National bullets and jewel Days in
- 9:21Speaker 3: your house? Is a great swat for sweep and you
- 9:23Speaker 3: can try some of my recipes. But it's a great
- 9:25Speaker 3: first step because sometimes this stuff can be overwhelming for people,
- 9:29Speaker 3: so small changes really can make a big difference. You
- 9:32Speaker 3: hear that, and it actually is true.
- 9:34Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show anytime in
- 9:36Speaker 1: the future. The door is always going to be open
- 9:38Speaker 1: for you, Dona, especially during the summer months and as
- 9:40Speaker 1: we get closer to the holidays, because I don't want
- 9:42Speaker 1: anybody to fatten up.
- 9:43Speaker 2: I want everybody to look so incredible this year.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Well, you know what is so great is when you're
- 9:49Speaker 3: looking good, you're feeling good. Doesn't everyone want to wake
- 9:51Speaker 3: up with more energy to you know, go after their day?
