  okay so does okay we'll see how nervous conjuring I don't even know like the fitness trends honestly
• 5:45
  I mean I probably do it'll be good to kind of get your take someone who's been in the industry
• 5:50
  for so many years and like you've seen every trend every yeah thing the sticks thing that
• 5:55
  doesn't you can kind of give your opinion on what you think about it okay so I collected 10 we'll
• 6:00
  see what we get through we'll start with maxing culture so this is I'll give you the rundown so
• 6:07
  essentially this is like mouth tape magnesium stacks tracking everything overload on protein tons of
• 6:14
  fiber electrolytes powders chlorophyll basically like supplement stacking taking 10 plus things
• 6:20
  a day and just getting it all in like what are your thoughts on all of those little things like
• 6:26
  mouth tape has been around forever like have you done mouth tape what is no I think I would choke
• 6:34
  like I would think I was dying yeah I'm not opposed maybe I try mouth tape but it helps you
• 6:41
  breathe through your nose and some claims are like it helps them through your jawline I don't like
• 6:48
  do I believe that I feel like we might need to like how's one test it out like talk you about
• 6:53
  the journey but I keep doing it all the girls they have they wake up and they're like all sleepy
• 6:57
  on tiktok they have their mouth tape they have their overnight college and mask they have their
• 7:01
  bonnet the silk bonnet for their hair to be healthy what else they have a lip stain on overnight
• 7:07
  like they wake up and it's like this whole thing and I'm like I think I would have a pick attack
• 7:11
  but everyone's doing it never done it not opposed maybe I need to do a science experiment I mean
• 7:18
  I do stuff like in the morning I wake up and you know I have like the chin strap thing yeah
• 7:22
  I don't totally in this exact topic like that's in there do we do you know if you're seeing any
• 7:28
  differences maybe is my jawline snatched yet you always have a good jawline though thank you
• 7:35
  so I guess we'll have to keep you posted on the chin strap and I just maxing I don't think
• 7:41
  I'm a mouth open wide sleeper but I don't I am yeah you did it yesterday oh when you were
• 7:48
  napping in here okay maybe I need yeah magnesium I do love magnesium I use that calm at night
• 8:01
  yeah like the calm like raspberry or berry flavored yeah it's good yeah it's good and like hot water
• 8:05
  it's part of my night routine to go to sleep and like sip a little bit of it and it calms
• 8:11
  calms me down there's a heavy heard of the sleepy girl mocktail no all these girls are also doing
• 8:17
  it's like tart cherry juice and they drink it before bad they mix tart cherry magnesium and
• 8:22
  it's like this sweet cocktail also I feel like we need to make a list and like try it for ourselves
• 8:27
  cuz it's like tart cherry like sugar spike though cuz like the the calm powder that I use has
• 8:34
  like no sugar so you don't spike your I mean I would yeah that's a good point I mean it's not
• 8:39
  sweet and so I'm like it's is it still I don't know I'm gonna have no clue we're talking about
• 8:44
  no but it is everywhere I'm seeing everyone make this sleepy girl mocktail and they're waking up
• 8:48
  with 10 layers of things on their face and it's crazy I have done the thing where I got it on
• 8:54
  whatever shop and you like paint on like a mask you know I've done that yeah and then you peel
• 9:00
  it off in the morning yeah I feel I'm like again is it doing anything I don't know I just do
• 9:04
  everything and hopefully it's working girls I just turned 45 this day in the comments tell like
• 9:11
  tell us what what do we do what are you doing are you seeing these things too because it's like
• 9:15
  blowing my mind every day there's a new something that I need to be doing and I don't so
• 9:21
  nervous system and soft wellness era so this could be anything from somatic healing shaking
• 9:27
  scream therapy like I'm seeing like the crazy shaking the screaming I think it's all about like
• 9:32
  Vegas nerve tools regulation hacks and this kind of goes back to like cortisol control healing
• 9:38
  your inner child like that kind of content I don't know if you've been seeing a lot of that I
• 9:41
  definitely do well I always talk a lot about inner child healing and especially on the big
• 9:45
  silence podcast there's so many podcasts over there or I talk about it so the shaking stuff I
• 9:52
  would say more so that's like I sometimes do this or like dancing is a nice rather than shaking
• 9:58
  your screaming I would do dancing yeah some of those videos that I see like it'll be like experts
• 10:04
  and they'll like just put their hand up and it's once like shaking and controlling and
• 10:08
  crazy I'm like is this rage bait for views or is this actually like you know what I'm talking
• 10:14
  you see these videos and I'm like we need to test that too we need to get like a somatic healer
• 10:18
  on the pod and like do some kind of I mean if you do breath work I've been in a room where you do
• 10:23
  actual breath work you do release a lot of emotions from your nervous system just with simple
• 10:30
  breath work wind it more I mentioned her a lot on the podcast she did it in person with man Bobby
• 10:36
  and there was a lot of emotions that are released where you could cry you could scream you could
• 10:42
  shake so I would say that's a real thing yeah okay maybe I'll have to try it out myself
• 10:50
  this one will be a fun one for you if like because this is more you have experience in longevity
• 10:55
  biohacking sometimes extreme cold plunge and sauna red light therapy hyperbaric chambers
• 11:02
  ivy drip heptides that's very trending right now for body scans biological age testing like
• 11:08
  essentially all longevity like I think it's really interesting like age testing I've never done
• 11:14
  you all know I love a sauna a cold plunge and red light therapy in terms of the sauna it just makes
• 11:23
  me feel good even sometimes at night time to wind down it's in the morning I like it sometimes
• 11:28
  that night I sleep really well I love my cold plunge there's a lot of controversy around cold
• 11:33
  plunges especially around women and hormones because some people say it puts your body in fight or
• 11:40
  flight and for me it calms me down which is wow like if I were to have yeah if I were to have
• 11:50
  anxiety I go to a cold plunge because it snaps me out of anxiety and makes me focus on my breath
• 11:58
  and being present and I actually meditate in a cold punch now a lot of people again just my personal
• 12:04
  experience and my personal opinion I really like it and then some people don't like it then don't
• 12:09
  do it yeah then don't do it I will say though the feeling after is incredible yeah it almost feels
• 12:15
  like at this natural high where it's just yeah I'm sorry you're so I do feel really good but I
• 12:20
  really hate doing it I love it I don't like Bobby's literally hot I don't like cold I like
• 12:26
  perfect regulation you're not gonna see me in a sauna well to each their own I personally like it
• 12:33
  Bobby's at home right now prepping my cold plunge well it's the biggest thing ever especially
• 12:38
  right now and that's what I mean everyone's opening yeah and then kind of you know multi-modality
• 12:44
  cold hot all these therapies and I think everyone is a little bit different like some some maybe
• 12:49
  it wills like spike your cortisol and stress you out then some might it calm anxiety I think everyone
• 12:55
  will work down difference me down but I do think it's all about like how you feel after you do
• 12:59
  these things but like the full body scans or like your chronological age or whatever it's like
• 13:06
  all of that testing I don't know if like how extreme you go have gone or like what you believe
• 13:12
  I think everyone knows that I say I'm a basic but I'm not getting better
• 13:19
  give me the cold the hot and I love the red light I actually think for me red light therapy
• 13:26
  is great for mental health as well and then great for your collagen great for your skin if you
• 13:32
  have psoriasis eczema for me personally it really helps with that and then in my bedroom I actually
• 13:39
  have a little red light that I put really dim when I'm getting ready for bed it helps call me
• 13:45
  I mean you have to figure out what works for you too I see these online and it's very intimidating
• 13:51
  for a lot of people whether like am I not doing enough I'm like everyone's gonna live forever
• 13:56
  but me it's like it's very intimidating so it's almost like don't overthink it start small don't
• 14:01
  overthink it do whatever makes you feel comfortable try things I'm all into trying something and being
• 14:08
  like well oh I'm being exploratory look at me go but if I don't like it then don't do it yeah
• 14:14
  all right what's next okay I like that take hormone health um balancing hormones content
• 14:21
  ever seed cycling uh syncing your workouts and food to your cycle cord is all fear everything
• 14:26
  is spiking basically like how much do you have this is science for social media and craze and
• 14:31
  actually um balancing our hormones and what is like a little bit too extreme so in the tone
• 14:38
  of app we do and you've asked for this it's actually already in your app where we have different
• 14:43
  workouts for your cycles and time of month so you can go into there and get that and we're going
• 14:50
  to have more for I've heard your requests for women over 40 year if you're in perimenopause
• 14:55
  menopause my opinion on what was it like just just overall just doing like the cycling I mean
• 15:02
  going back to my basic value hacking value whatever what do you feel like doing this morning to work
• 15:10
  out what is your body telling you so in the tone of app two it's kind of hidden right now and we're
• 15:16
  moving it to the top where you can click like how you're feeling what you want to do like some
• 15:22
  mornings you wake up and you're like I just need to move slow we got you some mornings you wake up
• 15:27
  and like I need to lift heavy and like or some mornings it's like I want to do a jump squat and
• 15:32
  some hit and some tabata with Christina yeah well I mean I think this is a good question for you
• 15:38
  when you were on a normal cycle and when you were filming workouts and personally I mean my
• 15:44
  luteal phase end of the world I have no energy I feel horrible especially those like not
• 15:51
  I don't know four days before I'm here I I can't do anything like did it affect you with your
• 15:56
  hormone cycles because everyone is so different I PMDD I struggle so much like how did you manage
• 16:02
  all that where you more it was okay don't hate me girls I never got cramps wow aren't you God's
• 16:10
  favorites I know you're pretty like even killed in balanced I'm also hearing things like
• 16:20
  in an expert here don't quote me but just over the years like how food is changing and the
• 16:26
  phones and all of the signals and the things that are making our hormones worse and our periods
• 16:32
  worse and like our products and all of the chemicals I don't know I just I hear it's just getting
• 16:37
  worse or worse yeah I would say I'm pretty even killed but I also know even though I'm in
• 16:43
  menopause I still have the hormone fluctuations but I'm able to recognize like okay this week
• 16:51
  I'm feeling a little bit more sluggish and that's okay it's okay to feel that way maybe my mood is
• 16:56
  a little bit down okay how can I make sure I'm paying attention to this week my mood is down so
• 17:02
  what do I do to lift it up am I sticking to my morning routines am I sticking to my fitness
• 17:08
  am I sticking to my meditation those are the times where it's really important that all of your
• 17:13
  your toolbox you're using so we are full of hormones even men like if you have a partner and he's
• 17:21
  like grumpy a week of the month he has hormones too or maybe like every day I don't know I think
• 17:28
  they're on a daily and we're on a monthly where they're just annoying every day we're annoying for a
• 17:33
  week we're never annoying no we're just perfect I love it this is a good one aesthetic wellness
• 17:41
  and routine culture this is the clean girl aesthetic the perfect waking up you see this content
• 17:47
  and it like puts this idea that you have to have the most beautiful perfect morning like
• 17:52
  morning skincare to Pilates then you get your perfect matcha and your perfect
• 17:56
  apartment in her house and you're doing everything so clean and perfect like
• 18:00
  the clean girl aesthetic is so trendy right now and I think it intimidates normal everyday people
• 18:06
  that maybe your lifestyle and your routine isn't so curated and perfect I think it's like this
• 18:12
  pressure that it puts on everyone and it's grown so much like the talk era I'm going to answer
• 18:17
  this quickly the girl had to set up a camera with a tripod to get her clean girl morning period
• 18:25
  fair enough if your morning isn't so is that it can perfect guess what you're normal I mean
• 18:30
  but I also sometimes mine are if I can sometimes I can be but every day but those same girls
• 18:36
  that you're seeing these perfect morning or she already put her in my girlfriend night and then
• 18:41
  the next day is not so clean it's not like it's not reality girl just wake this is what I'm
• 18:50
  going to say your clean girl morning when you open up your eyes have gratitude that's it say
• 18:58
  I'm so grateful for opening up my eyes today I'm grateful for this roof over my head I'm grateful
• 19:05
  for a partner sleeping next to me a dog a cat or if I'm by myself I think the most important
• 19:12
  thing because a lot of times in the morning you can have a lot of anxiety just practice gratitude
• 19:18
  as soon as you open your eyes and then set up your tripod and film yourself get me out of bed I like
• 19:24
  that one last one yeah fitness trends so we're looking at short workouts like quickies 10-20 minutes
• 19:31
  workout snacks low impact movement the pilates boom walking as your primary exercise kind of like
• 19:38
  with all of these trends and everyone's being told different things like what's your take
• 19:44
  my take is whatever's a frickey want to do um today when I get to Palm Springs I'm going to go
• 19:50
  on a walk and be in nature sometimes I wake up in the morning and after my meditation or my perfect
• 19:59
  thick girl what was it called thick girl morning or whatever perfect girl morning
• 20:02
  clean girl and clean girl morning she already forgot I'm like I want to lift weights and you
• 20:09
  can do this if you're like well how do I tune into my intuition and what my body wants to do you
• 20:15
  just like feel it or sometimes you're you need to push yourself and I talked about this on the
• 20:21
  podcast or on the stage yesterday how like what we do in the morning or what we do in the gym or
• 20:26
  what we do in the in the tone of app we take that strength and that mindset and we take it out to
• 20:34
  the outside world for the rest of our day so when we move our body we're training our body to
• 20:40
  maybe it's something we don't want to do maybe it's a challenge maybe it's like we need to move
• 20:44
  slowly through that day but our workouts are something that our training our mind and body for
• 20:50
  the rest of the day yeah also it's we go through different eras and like I was in a very
• 20:58
  pilates heavy era for like the last six months just went to Miami I have a gym in my building and
• 21:04
  I've been going every morning and I've been lifting weights and the results that I've been seeing
• 21:10
  just feeling so strong and not even like looking but just how I'm feeling how my muscles are
• 21:16
  feeling how toned I'm feeling and even I think I was consistent for like two weeks yeah lifting
• 21:21
  every day I think I took like a rest day but oh my gosh it's crazy how good I feel and I go
• 21:27
  through waves where I was in love in the pilates and it was great and still incorporating strength
• 21:32
  and then now I'm in this like weight era and I love it and it's just working for me now and I'm
• 21:36
  feeling good and instead of focusing on aesthetic side of it it's like oh this feels so good and I'm
• 21:42
  getting stronger and as a pilates like very low impact chill girl I'm liking lifting it's fun
• 21:49
  it is fun it's good and pilates is fun too yeah and I love it all but it's like we go through these
• 21:54
  different vibes and that's okay pilates like honor reformer is really hard for me though yeah
• 22:00
  it's not easy it's really hard well it's just the dynamic and it's doing something different and it
• 22:05
  feels crazy yeah but I think mixing combo of the two has been really fun for me all right ladies
• 22:12
  well we are going to pack up and check out of yes Laguna Beach California oh the sun brings and
• 22:21
