1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,720
If you have daughters, this is 
really, really important. 

2
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:06,840
Everyday women are told to fix 
their hormones with the latest 

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,880
cleanse or capsule. 
I thought cramps were normal. 

4
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,360
No. 
There's so much that you can do,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,120
and there's this whole other 
world that you can live in. 

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:15,400
You don't have to live like 
that. 

7
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:19,600
Sisters in law Yasmin and Kaya 
learns that lesson first hand. 

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:23,080
After years of struggling with 
their menstrual cycles and 

9
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,920
burnout, they built BIA 
Wellness, a Women's Health brand

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960
grounded in naturopathic 
research and real experience 

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:31,960
experience. 
There's a lot of misconception 

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,120
around what hormones are. 
The conversation around cortisol

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,320
has been very interesting. 
I think it's been demonized. 

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,560
In this episode, we're exploring
the hormone myths that keep 

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,400
women stuck and what actually 
works. 

16
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:50,920

Yasmin and Kaya, thank you so

Thank you. 
Thank you. 

28
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,040
What a beautiful, so beautiful 
place. 

29
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,520
We can't wait. 
Thank you. 

30
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,200
And you're pregnant now 31 
weeks. 

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,360
How has pregnancy been so far 
for you? 

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,480
It's been. 
Good. 

33
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:33,760
It's been good trying to take it
easy, eat a lot, as much as I 

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,520
can, you know? 
Yeah, do all the Wellness stuff.

35
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,560
What are your go to pregnancy 
foods? 

36
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,400
Are you craving anything in 
particular? 

37
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,280
Good question. 
Depends what day you get me. 

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,680
Yeah. 
Sandwiches, sandwiches, fruits, 

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:46,720
Persian food. 
I know. 

40
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,320
I was telling you guys just like
warm, good comfort foods. 

41
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,120
Yeah, you were saying Persian 
food is like a lot of stews and 

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:54,680
rice. 
That sounds like the perfect 

43
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,320
meat and sea postpartum foods. 
I know. 

44
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,560
Yeah. 
It hits a spot. 

45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,600
I'm getting hungry. 
I know, I know. 

46
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,000
It's almost dinner time. 
Yeah. 

47
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,480
OK. 
Tell me a little bit about each 

48
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:05,680
of your roles within the 
company. 

49
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,240
K and I are sister in law's so 
family, we started to be about 

50
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,320
4-4 years ago. 
Yeah. 

51
00:02:11,640 --> 00:02:15,080
And I would say I probably run 
more of the operations, the 

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,960
finance, more of the business 
side. 

53
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,880
I mean, we work so closely on 
everything. 

54
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,360
And you love that stuff. 
I do. 

55
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,640
I do, yeah. 
I mean, it's my background, so 

56
00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:26,080
it's more natural. 
But you know, what's so fun 

57
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,160
about having a company is that 
you get to be creative, you 

58
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,640
know, whether it's, you know, 
Kayla will talk about what she 

59
00:02:31,640 --> 00:02:35,040
runs, but there's so many 
aspects that you get to use that

60
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,080
other brain of yours, which I 
love. 

61
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,080
So yes, I'm an OPS finance 
person, but you know, I do love 

62
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,320
the creative stuff and product 
development and people 

63
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,160
community. 
It's it's so fun. 

64
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,160
Your job is like the stuff that 
I was most excited to offload 

65
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,440
when I started. 
I remember. 

66
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:52,960
Is that right? 
But. 

67
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,360
Some people are like, made for 
it, it sounds like. 

68
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,000
It sounds like you can do both, 
which I think is kind of rare. 

69
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Yeah, yeah. 
She's you've always been 

70
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,880
business minded. 
I hear stories from her dad and 

71
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,880
her family. 
She was like an entrepreneur at 

72
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760
age 3. 
So she's she was born for this. 

73
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,560
What were you doing when you 
were little? 

74
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,720
Oh my God any way to make money 
like. 

75
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,920
Yeah. 
It's like whatever it took, like

76
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,400
lemonade stands, you know, 
waitressing at home, cleaning 

77
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,040
someone's house, like whatever I
could do for a dollar. 

78
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,920
I would put my brother, I would,
I would make things and sell 

79
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,920
them and I had these kids shops 
and I would put my brother who 

80
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,760
was a few years younger than me.
I would like put make a dance 

81
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,800
floor out of like tape and I'd 
put my boom box out there in a 

82
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,200
tip jar. 
And so I would make money off of

83
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
him dancing for tips. 
I way to do. 

84
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,480
It he's he has Down syndrome, he
has like the best dance move. 

85
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,840
Like. 
You know, No Fear, just will go 

86
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520
out there and do his thing. 
Typical big sister behavior. 

87
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,040
How can I use my little sibling 
to make money? 

88
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,120
Giving him a shot, but I'm not 
sure. 

89
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,920
I might not have. 
I love her. 

90
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,040
OK, What about you? 
So people are always asking us 

91
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,760
how do you work with family? 
And I think the key for us is 

92
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,680
that we have two completely 
different skill sets. 

93
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,240
So I'm on the creative and 
product development and 

94
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,160
nutrition side, She's on the 
business side. 

95
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,880
And I think we don't step over 
each other, which I, yeah, I 

96
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,680
think that's the way to say it. 
And we both have an interest in 

97
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,880
each other's fields. 
And I will completely sit in on 

98
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,480
the operation side of things and
she'll sit on the content side 

99
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,760
of things. 
But we fully trust that the 

100
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
person who is the expert is 
making the best decision. 

101
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,040
So that's my role in the 
company. 

102
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,440
And you started via because both
of you, it sounds like we're 

103
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,880
doing all the right things, but 
just we're not. 

104
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,680
We're feeling like something was
not right. 

105
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,560
What was going on in your lives 
at that time? 

106
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,600
Well, it's funny because I 
thought I was doing the right 

107
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,320
things. 
Right. 

108
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,880
And I know you had a similar 
story, Bethany. 

109
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,880
Like, I was 13 years old, had 
horrible cramps. 

110
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,040
I would miss days at school. 
And back then, it was go on 

111
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,880
birth control. 
Everyone's on birth control. 

112
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:52,920
Why not? 
Yeah. 

113
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000
So ended up going on birth 
control for over like 15 years 

114
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,280
and it wasn't until I got off in
my early 30s, I think I was like

115
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:05,160
30 or 31, where I started 
realizing like, Oh my gosh, this

116
00:05:05,280 --> 00:05:08,440
pill shut off my hormones. 
I had 0 connection with my body.

117
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,680
I actually didn't have a period 
for that long, which is wild. 

118
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,320
I remember my mom being like, 
don't you need your period? 

119
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Like we weren't educated on 
these things. 

120
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,920
And my doctor's like no, if 
you're on that, this specific 

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,600
pill, it doesn't happen. 
I get off and my hormones just 

122
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,800
came back with like a major 
vengeance. 

123
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,680
It was like younger Yasmin times
100 in terms of cramp pain, 

124
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,720
acne, which was like the worst 
part because I did not even 

125
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,760
want, I couldn't even go out 
when I had cramps. 

126
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,680
But it just made me feel even 
more self-conscious breast 

127
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,160
tenderness and you just don't 
feel like yourself. 

128
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,320
And at that point in my life, 
it's when I met. 

129
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,560
So Kay is my sister-in-law. 
I met Drew, my husband and Kaya 

130
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,520
and they introduced me to this 
world of functional medicine. 

131
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,960
I was like, what are you guys 
talking about? 

132
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Like there is a world where you 
don't need to suffer from your 

133
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,720
periods. 
And so I thought I was doing 

134
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,640
everything right, right on birth
control. 

135
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,800
And it wasn't till I got off 
where I really learned. 

136
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,880
And we can get into that, you 
know, at any point, just so much

137
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,760
that you could do that is free 
and easy, that can make such an 

138
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,360
impact to my period. 
So now I'm doing things in the 

139
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,080
right way. 
But for so long, I wish I was 

140
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,280
more educated as a as a younger 
woman. 

141
00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:17,240
There's so much that's in your 
control that I think people 

142
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,720
don't, people still don't know. 
Yeah. 

143
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:20,680
And what did you implement that 
helped you the most? 

144
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,240
Yeah, I, it's seed cycling. 
I know. 

145
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,760
So we started a company because 
it truly, truly changed my life.

146
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,280
And of course, like lifestyle 
and habits are important, right?

147
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:33,080
You know, you can't be 
chronically stressed eating fast

148
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,360
food and doing one Wellness 
element. 

149
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,720
So I want to, you know, make 
sure it's, it's a holistic 

150
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,840
approach. 
But I went into my functional 

151
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,480
medicine doctor's office and she
said, you know, you should start

152
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,200
seed cycling. 
She got all this blood work, but

153
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,960
I was on no supplements yet, you
know, and I was just learning 

154
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,240
about this. 
I didn't listen to her for two 

155
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,360
years. 
I was like, what is she talking 

156
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,400
about? 
Like a I'm not going to buy 

157
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,360
seeds. 
I'm not even going to grind 

158
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:56,520
them. 
Like you're talking to some like

159
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,360
I'm the business. 
I'm like, give me whatever is 

160
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,080
easy to do and let me move 
through life, right? 

161
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:04,240
Like I'm not a DIY person. 
And I wasn't taking her 

162
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,120
seriously. 
And it wasn't until two years 

163
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800
later, Kaya was getting her 
master's in nutrition and her 

164
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,840
professor, they were learning 
about seed cycling. 

165
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880
And he said, quote me if I'm 
wrong, Like 90% of people who 

166
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,600
seed cycle from his experience, 
like see a shift, irregular 

167
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,680
periods, periods. 
And she's like, did you ever try

168
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,680
that? 
I was like, you know what, Kaya?

169
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,640
I didn't. 
But because you brought it up, 

170
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,320
I'm going to actually try and. 
Can you explain what seed 

171
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,440
cycling is for anyone who isn't 
familiar with it? 

172
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Yeah, totally. 
So seed cycling is the literal 

173
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,080
application of food as medicine.
We like to say it's a little bit

174
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,320
of magic and a little bit of 
science or a lot of bit of 

175
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,000
science. 
So our hormones require certain 

176
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,480
nutrients or certain inputs to 
be produced, eliminated, 

177
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,120
metabolized. 
And what you do with seed 

178
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,920
cycling is you rotate 4 specific
seeds throughout your menstrual 

179
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,560
cycle. 
So there's four phases of the 

180
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,600
menstrual cycle and you eat 
these specific seeds to promote 

181
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,920
to to produce specific hormones 
like estrogen, progesterone. 

182
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,520
And when there's imbalance in 
imbalances in those hormones, 

183
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,280
you can see symptoms like PMS 
and all of the different things 

184
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:13,160
that come with PMS, bad cramps, 
breast tenderness, whatever it 

185
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,480
is. 
So seed cycling is essentially a

186
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,120
way to support bad periods, but 
it can also help women who are 

187
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,360
in perimenopause and menopause 
and beyond. 

188
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,600
Yeah, yeah. 
Because so these seeds contain 

189
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,720
specific nutrients that are 
supportive for your hormones at 

190
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,720
different phases within the 
month. 

191
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,320
Totally. 
I didn't realize they could also

192
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,320
help with perimenopause and 
menopause. 

193
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,720
Yes, yeah. 
So actually we have found that 

194
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,760
women who are transitioning into
perimenopause see the most 

195
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:43,039
success with seed cycling. 
And the reason is because at 

196
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:45,720
that stage your periods start to
become more regular, they can 

197
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,680
become heavier your. 
Do it? 

198
00:08:47,680 --> 00:08:49,520
How do they know which phase to 
take? 

199
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:53,720
So we if you have a regular 
cycle, you start with the phase 

200
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,560
one seeds, which is flax and 
pumpkin on the first day of your

201
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,160
cycle. 
If you don't have a regular 

202
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,040
cycle, we just say, hey, start 
with the new moon because women 

203
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,160
cycles are very connected to the
moon cycle. 

204
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,160
They're both roughly around 28 
days. 

205
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,680
So what is actually really 
interesting about women in 

206
00:09:08,680 --> 00:09:12,520
perimenopause is that they might
be like, Oh, my cycle is now 42 

207
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,400
days, or I haven't had a period 
in a few months and a lot of 

208
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,960
them start seed cycling and 
their cycle becomes 28 days 

209
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,840
again, which is really 
incredible. 

210
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:21,920
So is that essentially like 
delaying it? 

211
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,200
I like to think of it that way, 
which is also really nice 

212
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,960
because the longer we can have a
period as women, the better for 

213
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,280
our bodies, right? 
We know that women who go into 

214
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,840
early menopause or menopause 
earlier in life, that can have a

215
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,960
lot of challenges with your 
health. 

216
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,120
So it's happening more and more.
It's happening more and more, 

217
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,600
and to younger and younger 
women, even women in their 30s. 

218
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,320
When should women ideally start 
menopause or begin 

219
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:48,120
perimenopause? 
So perimenopause can be even up 

220
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960
to 15 years. 
So a lot of women can start, you

221
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,200
know, mid 30s and late 30s, 
sometimes early 40s. 

222
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,000
So it can be like a 10 to 15 
year process. 

223
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,640
And the challenge with 
perimenopause is there's no 

224
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,560
really definitive way to say 
like here's a test, you're in 

225
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,880
perimenopause. 
It's more just an array of 

226
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,160
symptoms that you start to feel,
your period starts to become 

227
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,080
off, sleep is more challenging, 
weight loss becomes more 

228
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,800
challenging. 
And so you know that will be an 

229
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,760
indication that something is 
shifting. 

230
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,720
OK. 
And you're saying, so either 

231
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,680
start if you have an irregular 
period, whether you just have an

232
00:10:24,680 --> 00:10:27,960
irregular period or if it's 
perimenopause related, you want 

233
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,280
to start at the first day of 
your cycle or the new moon with 

234
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,520
phase one? 
Yes, and then move into. 

235
00:10:33,560 --> 00:10:35,560
And when I'm saying phase one, I
know we haven't gotten there 

236
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:41,320
yet, but you have packaged these
these seeds into a phase one and

237
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,560
a phase two option. 
Yeah. 

238
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,880
So you would start phase one at 
that point and then transition 

239
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,640
to Phase 2 when. 
So Phase 2 is supportive of the 

240
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,240
second-half of your cycle, which
is the luteal phase. 

241
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,280
And that's typically when people
start to see some of those more 

242
00:10:55,280 --> 00:11:00,280
gnarly symptoms of PMS. So 
ovulation on average, not for 

243
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:04,720
everyone, occurs around day 14. 
So on day 15, you switch to 

244
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,080
phase two, which is sesame and 
sunflower seeds. 

245
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,600
And that is really to support 
the production of progesterone. 

246
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,640
So after you ovulate, your body 
increases progesterone 

247
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,200
production. 
And that's really important 

248
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:17,880
because it helps regulate 
estrogen. 

249
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,440
It what it's what helps you 
sleep. 

250
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,560
It tackles mood challenges that 
people go through at that stage.

251
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,280
So each of these seeds is 
essentially designed to help 

252
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,080
what hormone needs to be 
supported at that stage. 

253
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,760
OK, Yeah. 
Amazing. 

254
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,120
What if you have a short cycle? 
That's something that I have 

255
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,160
dealt with since having my third
child. 

256
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,880
My cycle is shorter than I would
like it to be. 

257
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,840
Can seed cycling help with that?
Absolutely, yes. 

258
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,040
We've seen actually a lot of 
cases of women saying that 

259
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,480
they've had a shorter cycle. 
It's some of the seeds, the 

260
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,480
antioxidants and nutrients in 
there can help extend the luteal

261
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,880
phase, which can be really 
important, especially if women 

262
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,360
are struggling with fertility 
issues and things like that. 

263
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,400
We we've totally seen that. 
And you would just stay. 

264
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,120
So it's essentially 2 weeks on 
the first bag of phase one and 

265
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,440
then two weeks on the second 
bag. 

266
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,080
So if your period comes early, 
we would encourage you to still 

267
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,600
stay those two weeks. 
OK, so that's like that. 

268
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,720
Can be just stay the course, 
just stay the call it all levels

269
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,320
out. 
Yeah, give it a few months. 

270
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,600
You know, we always say three to
six months and then you'll see 

271
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,560
that your cycle hopefully will 
be shifting by extra day, extra 

272
00:12:20,560 --> 00:12:23,360
2 days. 
So yeah, it's it's wild the 

273
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,160
emails we get every single. 
Just going to. 

274
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,800
Ask Yeah, like, have you gotten 
a lot of feedback from people 

275
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,360
that have tried this and have 
said, wow, like, I've struggled 

276
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920
with irregular cycles or 
whatever, like too short or too 

277
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,280
long, and it's like all kind of 
evening out now. 

278
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,560
Yeah, we get pretty miraculous 
emails that, I mean, some of our

279
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,200
favorite ones are mothers and 
daughters doing it together, 

280
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,600
some mothers who are in 
perimenopause or menopause and 

281
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:48,320
their daughters who are 
struggling with PMS doing it 

282
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,680
together and seeing shifts. 
My favorite is when people say I

283
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:54,080
wasn't ovulating. 
I was having an an ovulatory 

284
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,040
cycle. 
I started ovulating again and I 

285
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,880
got pregnant. 
I mean, Oh my gosh, it's the 

286
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,320
most heartwarming thing to to 
experience that. 

287
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:01,080
That's. 
Amazing. 

288
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:02,760
Yeah. 
So this helped you a lot. 

289
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,600
Changed my life. 
I finally did it after listening

290
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,320
to Kaya. 
I was doing it wrong for a 

291
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:08,920
little bit. 
I was like getting the wrong 

292
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,240
seeds but I did it for one month
and I was literally shocked that

293
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,280
most of my cramps were gone. 
My breast tenderness was gone. 

294
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,960
I was like how are we not 
talking about this? 

295
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,040
This makes no sense that I'm 
literally eating food and me as 

296
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,520
someone who has horrible cramps 
in periods, I cured myself in a 

297
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:30,160
month most of my symptoms. 
So it was mind blowing. 

298
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:31,480
And that's when I chatted with 
Kay. 

299
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,960
I was like, this is magic. 
Like if I knew this as a 

300
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:36,920
teenager, this would have 
completely changed my life. 

301
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:39,840
And think about all, I mean, 80%
of women have PMS symptoms. 

302
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,120
Think about how many people this
could help. 

303
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,360
And it's just food, you know, 
whether you buy a product or do 

304
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,440
it yourself, it's an easy way to
support your hormones. 

305
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,240
And I always tell people, you 
know, it's just nutrients, give 

306
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,280
it a shot. 
Unless you're allergic, there's 

307
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,640
nothing to lose. 
I'm not giving you a medication.

308
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,760
That's why I like even on the 
street, I'm giving people seeds,

309
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,200
you know, like every, anyone I 
could give seeds to, I'm like, 

310
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,840
just try it. 
And it, it blew my mind to the 

311
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,160
point where we started a 
company. 

312
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,360
I never thought we'd start a 
company, folks around seed 

313
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,640
cycling, like I never thought 
I'd be in the food business. 

314
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,640
But the mission was so important
for us to get this message of 

315
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,720
cross of cross of like you can 
do so much for your hormones and

316
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,920
why aren't we taught about this?
You know it. 

317
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,440
It gets me angry the. 
List of things that none of us 

318
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,560
learned yes, growing up that we 
should have known exactly or 

319
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,440
should have been taught. 
And now that you're pregnant, 

320
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:34,640
how are you incorporating it? 
Or are you? 

321
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,280
Yeah, So it's just more for a 
nutritional boost. 

322
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,160
So because I'm not cycling, you 
don't need to cycle it anytime. 

323
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,360
So just adding the seeds and 
smoothie like what we have here 

324
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,520
that you graciously blended and.
Yeah, let's do it. 

325
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:51,640
OK. 
I normally do liver smoothies 

326
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,240
but since you're you're I know 
wanting to avoid the raw liver. 

327
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:59,840
I made this one with almond 
milk, berries, honey, mint and 

328
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:01,560
phase. 
Two amazing. 

329
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,400
That sounds so good. 
Cheers, Cheers. 

330
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:04,160
Thank. 
You. 

331
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:09,040
So delicious. 
Oh, the Mint. 

332
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,680
Really good. 
I love it. 

333
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,600
People are always like, well, 
how do you take the seeds? 

334
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,960
And this is just one. 
This is the perfect example. 

335
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Yeah, What else? 
What else do you recommend? 

336
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,480
Yogurt Yasmin is a champ. 
She takes it by the spoonful. 

337
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,320
I doubt it. 
Or I'll put it with yogurt and 

338
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,480
like some frozen berries. 
Yes, yeah, I do a lot of 

339
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:30,840
smoothies. 
That's my big thing. 

340
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,880
I'm imagining even just like 
sprinkling it on like ground 

341
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,880
meat, like a. 100% totally. 
Stuff. 

342
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,240
Eggs, salads, really any meal. 
We do all these recipes online, 

343
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:42,160
but you can just keep it super 
simple. 

344
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,760
Yeah, OK. 
On the subject of hormonal like 

345
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,760
myths and misconceptions, if you
could bust one piece of bad 

346
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:54,040
hormone advice that just drives 
you bananas, what would that be?

347
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,200
I think I have one, but I want 
to hear yours. 

348
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520
I mean mine, I mean, we talked 
about it is that PMS is normal. 

349
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,160
Like I talked to so many women 
because they asked like, oh, 

350
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,920
like what's BA Tell me about 
seed cycling. 

351
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,440
And they don't even realize that
their day-to-day and their 

352
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,440
periods, you don't have to live 
like that. 

353
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,240
Like, and this was me for so 
long. 

354
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,720
I thought cramps were normal. 
It really was until I started 

355
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,840
getting acne and I met Kaya 
where I was like, oh, I don't 

356
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,720
have to live like this. 
So it gets me fired up. 

357
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,160
So if someone's like, Oh yeah, I
just have cramps for a few days 

358
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:27,920
and it's as if it's normal. 
Like, no, there's so much that 

359
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,520
you can do and there's this 
whole other world that you can 

360
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,440
live in to feel great, and your 
period's your 5th vital sign. 

361
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,320
So it's important to understand 
these symptoms and hormones. 

362
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,480
Yeah, for so many other reasons.
So yes. 

363
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,560
Yeah, and like you mentioned, 
like same exact story for me. 

364
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Had really bad cramps and an 
acne and went to the 

365
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,800
dermatologist. 
Nothing really worked long term 

366
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,760
for the acne. 
And so eventually I was put on 

367
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,240
hormonal birth control and all 
of that kind of just went away. 

368
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
But then six years later, when I
went off of it, I had to deal 

369
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:00,520
with all of the aftermath. 
Exactly, Yeah. 

370
00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:02,840
What about you? 
What's your biggest pet peeve? 

371
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,079
The conversation around cortisol
has been very interesting lately

372
00:17:08,079 --> 00:17:12,000
and there's a lot of this person
has cortisol face and this is a 

373
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,319
cortisol detox and this is a 
drink that you need to lower 

374
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:18,400
your cortisol. 
And I think the tough thing for 

375
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,119
me is that basically it's been 
demonized. 

376
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,440
This is really important hormone
that has an A role in immunity, 

377
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,240
inflammation, our sleep, wake 
cycle, so many different things.

378
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,600
And anytime something is 
demonized that way, it's a 

379
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,480
little bit tough, which which 
has been very popular lately. 

380
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:38,680
I've seen a lot of that. 
Yeah. 

381
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:41,240
The cortisol face really blew 
up. 

382
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,400
Is there any truth to that? 
If you have something like 

383
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,560
Cushing's syndrome, which is 
the, the, you know, not what the

384
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:51,360
majority of people are dealing 
with, that's a serious situation

385
00:17:51,360 --> 00:17:55,880
with cortisol. 
This is not a everyday thing 

386
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,280
that people need to be worried 
about. 

387
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,680
Yeah. 
Whenever I have founders on the 

388
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,160
show who are also health 
conscious, also mothers, like 

389
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,240
we're all juggling a lot. 
I'm just so curious what your 

390
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,200
day-to-day routines look like. 
And I'm sure it changes a lot 

391
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,960
based on the season and whatnot,
but if you could just give us a 

392
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:14,720
glimpse into your days, each of 
you. 

393
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,800
Like, what does that look like 
right now for you? 

394
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,120
How do you incorporate Wellness 
into your day? 

395
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:20,920
Let's start with you, Yasmin. 
Yeah. 

396
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,200
Something I think about all the 
time and I ask this question I 

397
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,200
always I can't I want you to 
answer it too. 

398
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,840
I'm like, what does your 
day-to-day look like? 

399
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,240
Because there's some days where 
it doesn't look great. 

400
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,800
You know, it's like we're I'm 
always calibrating and in 

401
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,320
Wellness and I think we talked 
about this would be a like, you 

402
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,800
don't need to be perfect. 
Everyone's like, oh, if I if I 

403
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,960
don't wake up at a certain time,
if I'm don't take certain 

404
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,080
supplements, like I'm bad right?
And it's like, it's a way of 

405
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,800
life, like there's some days 
you're going to be better, 

406
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,520
there's some days you're not 
going to be as great. 

407
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,920
And that's OK. 
Like everything in moderation. 

408
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,440
So even for myself, I would say 
a couple of, and this is still a

409
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,840
work in progress, but a couple 
of core things. 

410
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,240
I would say that I've shifted, 
especially as a founder and 

411
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,720
being in Wellness is I used to 
wake up very early. 

412
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,280
Sleep was not a thing for me. 
You know, I was part of the 5:00

413
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:09,080
AM club because I thought, oh, 
you know, to be successful, you 

414
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,080
wake up early, you you work 
before anyone comes in. 

415
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,120
You know, you just like who who 
needs sleep? 

416
00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:15,400
You sleep when you're dead. 
Yeah. 

417
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:16,960
No, I need sleep. 
I know. 

418
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,480
I was in the 3:30 AM club at 
1:00. 30 Oh my God, I'm. 

419
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,240
Proud of that. 
Wow. 

420
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,400
But that was like, I mean, I 
couldn't do 330. 

421
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,080
I'd be like a monster, but yeah.
Well, I was normally, I was 

422
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,240
going to bed with my child, 
yeah, 7:30, and then waking up 

423
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,920
at 3:30, OK, because I could get
work in before she woke up. 

424
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Yeah. 
Yeah, it was. 

425
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,600
Silly. 
It kind of worked for a little 

426
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,680
while, but it was. 
Yeah. 

427
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,440
It's interesting because 
sometimes in early business, not

428
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,480
to say you need to be doing 
that, but it's like you, you 

429
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,320
just, you got to do what you got
to do. 

430
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,080
Totally. 
And you know, sometimes, like 

431
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960
the hustle part also gets 
demonized, Yeah, where it's 

432
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,800
like, obviously like people can 
push it too far and we're only 

433
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,560
human and we have limitations. 
But sometimes like you do kind 

434
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,360
of just have to to do a little 
bit of. 

435
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:04,120
That 100% exactly. 
It's like, yeah, we can glorify 

436
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:07,880
it, but sometimes you got to do 
things like that to get anything

437
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,680
off the ground, especially when 
you have kids, you're juggling a

438
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,440
lot of things or if you have a 
full time job and you need to 

439
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,920
stay up late to get something. 
So yes, I agree. 

440
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,880
Like it's not Wellness friendly,
but there's seasons of your life

441
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,000
where you got to do what you got
to do to get something done. 

442
00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:24,840
But now, you know, we have a 
little bit of a team, the 

443
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,480
business a little bit bigger. 
We're still, you know, small. 

444
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,360
But I would say sleep has been 
one of the biggest things. 

445
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:35,360
So I wake up at like 637. 
For me, that used to be super 

446
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:38,640
late. 
And I try not to book very early

447
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,080
meetings. 
Like before I would wake up, go 

448
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,760
straight to a call and I don't 
know, talk about cortisol. 

449
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,080
I'm sure mine was like, so 
mornings I try to be sacred. 

450
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,680
I eat breakfast. 
I never used to eat breakfast. 

451
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,520
Now I have a proper blood sugar 
balancing breakfast, breakfast, 

452
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,240
protein, fat and fiber and the 
way I feel is like I'm on 

453
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,560
another level. 
Like the effectiveness of my 

454
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,280
brain is incredible. 
So I know so many of my friends 

455
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,280
still like they'll just have 
coffee and they're like, I'm not

456
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,120
hungry. 
I'm you know, I'm not eating and

457
00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:10,640
I'm like, just try to eat 
something. 

458
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,960
You will be on fire. 
So I forced myself to eat. 

459
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,440
Those would be the two biggest 
morning changes. 

460
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,240
And I would say this is a new 
thing that I recently have done,

461
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,480
which I'm it's been helping me 
in the evenings. 

462
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,280
I try to wind down. 
I tend to get wound up at night.

463
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,320
Like I love when like, you know,
the team's gone. 

464
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,720
That's like my time to like 
catch up on emails, catch up on 

465
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:33,840
work. 
You know, I don't have any kids 

466
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,160
yet. 
So I can easily just get into 

467
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,520
the rhythm of just get knocking 
things, knocking things out to 

468
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,640
when it's late. 
But again, I'm interested in my 

469
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:43,640
sleep. 
That's important. 

470
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,920
So I have been putting, I, I 
recently got this like software 

471
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,960
called Brick where I'll go in 
with my phone, I scan it and it 

472
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,200
will block certain apps. 
So there's some things that I 

473
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,200
need like support with. 
I am always on e-mail, always on

474
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,080
Slack. 
So at a certain point like 8:00,

475
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:06,160
I'll go and I'll swipe my phone 
and all of that will be off. 

476
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,000
So I can't. 
What do you mean you swipe your 

477
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,880
phone? 
So you have to go. 

478
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,000
It's basically a device, it's a 
magnet and you go there and you 

479
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,800
swipe your phone to turn off 
devices because there's all 

480
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,000
these apps that you have on your
phone that can block stuff, but 

481
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
you can go in and unblock. 
It. 

482
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,400
Totally. 
So you have tried to do that 

483
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:23,280
before. 
Me too. 

484
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,840
I've tried everything. 
So this one gives you a little 

485
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,200
bit of friction where you have 
to walk somewhere and swipe in 

486
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,240
order to turn things off or on 
for the app, Yeah. 

487
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
I've never heard of that. 
Some people have like these 

488
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,320
boxes where they lock your phone
in, but it's like I want in case

489
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,400
of emergency or if I want to 
text someone, like I want my 

490
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,840
phone. 
So that's been a new thing and 

491
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,680
it's been game changing in terms
of having me wind down at night.

492
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,840
So I'll stop work at a certain 
time and just, you know, kind of

493
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,320
wind down, take it easy. 
So there's I would say those are

494
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,400
like some of the high level 
things that I focus on without 

495
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,200
getting like in the nitty nitty 
gritty I love. 

496
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,000
That yeah, I need to have get 
that app. 

497
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,080
And in the morning too, usually 
I wake up and I will go on my 

498
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,960
phone because, you know, I am 
that person. 

499
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,280
But it's still blocked. 
So until you're ready to unblock

500
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,000
it. 
Yeah. 

501
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,680
So it's like a very intentional 
thing. 

502
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,720
You have to go to this magnet 
thing. 

503
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,920
Yeah, wherever you put it. 
Yeah, and do it. 

504
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,680
I like that. 
I think that not being on emails

505
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,920
or like doing anything like too 
mentally stimulating at night is

506
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,440
key. 
I used to be be that person too.

507
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,200
Like once the kids would go to 
bed, I'd pull out my computer, 

508
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,200
my laptop and start like hacking
away at stuff. 

509
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,600
But then you're just like on. 
I know it's so hard to wind 

510
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:34,320
down. 
Totally. 

511
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:35,760
And then you have dreams about 
it. 

512
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,320
Yeah, like in the middle of the 
night and remember something 

513
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,040
that you haven't done Exactly. 
Yeah, exactly. 

514
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:42,840
Not the way to get ready. 
Healthy. 

515
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,080
No. 
Yeah, OK. 

516
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:47,880
What about you? 
We had a post that we just did. 

517
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,960
I don't know if you've heard of 
Mel Robbins and her whole the 

518
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,840
book that she released recently,
but she has this whole like 

519
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,000
321-GO. 
Like you set your alarm and you 

520
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,360
don't snooze it. 
And we did a post. 

521
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,600
What is it like to implement Mel
Robbins routine as a mom? 

522
00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,600
And I was like, I don't need an 
alarm. 

523
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,240
I literally do not need my kids 
are my alarm. 

524
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,560
And so I will say at this stage 
of life with a four and a one 

525
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,840
year old, there's not a lot of 
room for routine for me. 

526
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,760
I know I'll I'll get there. 
I'll get it back one day. 

527
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,800
But really it's like the most 
important thing to me is cooking

528
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,080
for my family. 
That's the way that I show my 

529
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,760
love for them. 
That has to be a part of my 

530
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,680
daily routine. 
So I pretty much wake up, make 

531
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,360
coffee and cook for for the 
family. 

532
00:24:29,360 --> 00:24:31,520
And that's kind of a way for me 
to ground myself and in the 

533
00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:34,960
evening cook dinner. 
And then after that, my rule is 

534
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,040
I don't watch anything upsetting
or scary things or news or 

535
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,840
anything like that. 
If you want to watch something 

536
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,480
at night, make it funny, make it
light hearted, read some romance

537
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,880
book or something like that. 
But that's kind of really it 

538
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:50,600
right now. 
I try to get movement in when I 

539
00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,200
can get movement in. 
But that's this phase of life, 

540
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,160
and we'll see in 10 years what 
happens next. 

541
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,800
Yeah, I love that. 
I made the mistake of watching 

542
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,640
like a really intense action 
movie. 

543
00:24:59,960 --> 00:25:02,440
And I pretty much, like never 
watch TV or movies anymore. 

544
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,400
It's just like, it's something 
I've just cut out. 

545
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,160
Yeah, not even intentionally, 
just I don't have time for that.

546
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,240
Yeah. 
But I was like, you know what? 

547
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,880
I love action movies. 
I'm gonna watch an action movie.

548
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,280
And it was my favorite kind like
scary, not scary, but intense 

549
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:17,800
like airport like shooting kind 
of situation. 

550
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:21,600
I love like intense action 
airport airplane related movies.

551
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,640
I don't know why. 
Niche it. 

552
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,160
Was it was like Con Air from 
back in the day, Like, I don't 

553
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,800
know all that stuff, but this 
one it was, it was so good, but 

554
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,320
it was like I was just amped up 
by the time I finished it and I 

555
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,120
could not sleep. 
I'm like, that wasn't worth it. 

556
00:25:36,120 --> 00:25:37,480
I'm never doing that again. 
Yeah. 

557
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,120
Yeah, yeah. 
Because yeah, I'm prone to to 

558
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:42,800
nightmares too. 
So if I, my husband's like, 

559
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,640
let's watch this thing or that 
thing and I'm like, no, look, we

560
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,080
can go our separate way for like
for two hours. 

561
00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,320
You have a lunch something? 
Yeah. 

562
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,320
Exactly. 
Yeah. 

563
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200
What is like your go to 
breakfast that you make for your

564
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:54,600
family in the morning? 
Oh my gosh. 

565
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,320
So their thing right now, 
because I'm, I hate to admit it,

566
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,880
but I have to sneak things in 
because my daughter is picky as 

567
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,000
they call it. 
So my biggest thing that they've

568
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,600
been loving right now is I sneak
everything into a pancake. 

569
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,840
So the the I'll do like a side 
of berries, they'll do chicken 

570
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,320
sausage, they love that. 
And then I'll do the pancake 

571
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,840
with just banana oats that, you 
know, glyphosate free. 

572
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,640
I try to pick the best of the 
best and then egg. 

573
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,560
And that's how she's getting her
her eggs in right now. 

574
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,360
And they that's their favorite 
thing and they love it. 

575
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:25,840
My son will eat anything. 
So anything I put in front of. 

576
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,360
Him. 
I know I drink it at that age. 

577
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:29,720
Yeah. 
That's your one year old. 

578
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:30,600
Yeah. 
Exactly. 

579
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,480
I know they and then in around 
2. 

580
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,400
I'm hoping to keep it going. 
You know, if you have any chips,

581
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,240
please let me know, but. 
I mean, you can just not feed 

582
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,120
them. 
Yeah, I'm not afraid to, like, 

583
00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,600
make my kids miss meals. 
Yeah, they don't want to eat. 

584
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:47,960
They're eating. 
And eventually their biology 

585
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,440
will win out and they'll they'll
eat it. 

586
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,720
But I also don't like to 
purposefully make things that I 

587
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:54,880
know they don't like. 
Sure. 

588
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,120
Yeah. 
So it's like sometimes if we 

589
00:26:57,120 --> 00:26:59,440
make dinner and this is what 
we're all having, it's like, OK,

590
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,280
you've gotta have this. 
But if it's like a true food 

591
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:05,920
that they just really don't 
love, like I'm not gonna just 

592
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,280
keep making that thing for them 
to eat over and over. 

593
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:09,440
Yeah. 
So I don't know. 

594
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:10,720
It's like, yeah. 
I like that. 

595
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,000
Balancing it is. 
No, it's good because my mom and

596
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,720
my sister will be like, well, 
you got keep. 

597
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,680
You have to feed them something 
they'll like, keep giving them 

598
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,120
snacks. 
And it's all coming from a place

599
00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:19,680
of love. 
But I appreciate the 

600
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,280
perspective. 
They're not gonna starve. 

601
00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:22,000
No. 
OK, no. 

602
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:23,080
They won't let themselves 
starve. 

603
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:26,480
Yeah. 
OK, so your 4 year old has not 

604
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,160
gotten into the phase of 
sleeping in yet because it's 

605
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,840
amazing when that happens. 
No, my 6 and 9 year olds sleep 

606
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,040
in now and it's it's the best. 
Wow. 

607
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:37,640
Like till like, I mean, if we 
didn't wake, we don't actually, 

608
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,760
we don't wake them up. 
But if they didn't have anything

609
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,680
to wake up for, it would be like
738. 

610
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:43,600
Wow. 
Probably. 

611
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,840
But yeah, my, my 3 year old is a
different story. 

612
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,120
He's my alarm clock. 
OK, what time is he getting up? 

613
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,120
He's he's like 630 right now so 
it's not too bad. 

614
00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:57,400
And often times I am already 
awake but but I know that if I'm

615
00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,480
not awake that yeah, he will. 
He'll wake you up. 

616
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,040
What are some of the biggest 
signs of hormonal dysregulation 

617
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,760
that women often ignore? 
So I'll speak about something 

618
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,520
specific, which is very common 
in the South Asian community, 

619
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,600
which is my background, which is
PCOS. 

620
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,760
It's, it's, it's very common 
amongst in young Indian women. 

621
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,720
And about 5 to 10% of the US 
population of women have PCOS or

622
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,120
80% of women have PMS. And many 
of those women say that their 

623
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:25,280
symptoms are so debilitating 
that they interfere with 

624
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,800
day-to-day life. 
And this has become normalized. 

625
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,880
What are some of those symptoms?
Oh, a heavy periods. 

626
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:34,240
Period so bad you can't get off 
the couch period so bad you have

627
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:38,400
to take 6 and sets of 
painkillers, you know, everyday.

628
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,400
Really bad brain fog, fatigue, 
breast tenderness, low libido. 

629
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:50,000
I mean, it really runs the gamut
and I think that it's become so 

630
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,000
common that people have accepted
it as normal and and even 

631
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,040
something like irregular 
periods, right? 

632
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,480
We had Natalie Crawford on 
doctor Natalie Crawford, she's 

633
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,000
an expert in fertility and all 
of this. 

634
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:04,040
And she said, I should give you 
a calendar and you should be 

635
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,840
able to point to when your 
period is coming within a one to

636
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,760
two day period. 
If that is not happening, more 

637
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:12,200
often than not, something's 
going on. 

638
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,600
And I can't tell you how many 
women I talked to who are like, 

639
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,760
I don't know, I have no idea. 
Like it'll come when it comes. 

640
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:22,600
And so I think that using your 
report, using your period as a 

641
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,480
report card is really nice. 
And our reproductive age, we 

642
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,080
essentially get this information
every month that can tell us so 

643
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,920
much about our stress, our 
nutrition, our sleep. 

644
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,400
And a lot of women are not 
paying attention to that and 

645
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200
they're kind of ignoring the 
symptoms, which is unfortunate. 

646
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,200
Yeah, what about stress? 
How does stress impact our 

647
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,640
hormones? 
I think stress is inevitable. 

648
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,800
And so I hate to say, and you 
have to manage stress. 

649
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,760
You have to manage stress 
because it's just the fact of 

650
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,720
life stressful. 
Yeah. 

651
00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,520
And so when I kind of talk about
the foundational things that 

652
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320
people need to do every single 
day to really, you know, what 

653
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,520
are the foundational pillars for
health, sleep, nutrition, 

654
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,000
exercise, exercise and movement,
community, joy, purpose. 

655
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:07,240
I think those last things, 
community, joy and purpose, 

656
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,440
those are really the anecdotes 
to stress. 

657
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:10,840
We're going to have stress all 
the time. 

658
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:14,960
But if you're not implementing 
day-to-day joy and community and

659
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:16,960
people that you love and 
relationships that you love, 

660
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:20,520
that's when the stress can kind 
of overtake everything else and 

661
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:23,480
become very problematic. 
We know that stress and 

662
00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,800
progesterone are enemies, right?
So if your body is stressed out,

663
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,120
it'll shut down reproduction, 
which is actually kind of a good

664
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,280
thing because it's basically 
saying this is not the time to 

665
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,760
have a baby. 
This is not the time to get 

666
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,320
pregnant. 
We need to kind of resettle. 

667
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,800
And I remember reading a book on
fertility called Awakening 

668
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,200
Fertility, which is amazing. 
I highly recommend it. 

669
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,600
And so much of it was based in 
traditional Chinese medicine, 

670
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,880
which talks about in order to 
create a fertile body, you have 

671
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,120
to focus on joy, make a joyful 
environment for your baby. 

672
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,720
And I was like, that's so true. 
That's so beautiful. 

673
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,000
I mean, who doesn't want a more 
joyful environment? 

674
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,160
And so when I think about 
stress, I kind of take out like,

675
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,160
hey, you have to meditate, you 
have to do this, you have to do 

676
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:06,320
that. 
And instead I'm like, well, what

677
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:07,960
brings you joy? 
And do more of that. 

678
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,760
It's like adding and taking 
away. 

679
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:11,640
That's. 
Why you always say because I 

680
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,960
used to be that person. 
People are like you're stressing

681
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,120
too much. 
Maybe stress needs to be the 

682
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,600
thing you take out and chaos. 
Like think about it like what 

683
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,120
are you adding? 
Like how would you? 

684
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,720
Feel like OK I'll just remove 
it. 

685
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,840
I know like that stress out. 
Of it me out even more, I think 

686
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:26,280
I'm OK. 
But people are like you're 

687
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,040
stressed. 
But like Kayla would say this 

688
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,560
what she just mentioned, like 
think about adding stuff like 

689
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,000
what? 
What's joyful? 

690
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,480
What's fun for you? 
I know I feel like we forget 

691
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:38,640
that as I'm like know how to 
play and have fun and do things 

692
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,640
that are enjoyable to them, but 
we just kind of get so stuck in 

693
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:44,280
our to do lists and our 
day-to-day routines that we 

694
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:47,000
forget like, Oh yeah, we can. 
We can still do fun things of 

695
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:48,840
adults and absolutely bring us 
strong. 

696
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:51,240
And it doesn't have to look any 
particular way. 

697
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:55,920
It could be knitting, reading, 
going for a bike ride, swimming,

698
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,320
whatever it is like. 
Don't let the Internet convince 

699
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:59,920
you. 
Anybody out there that it has to

700
00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:01,600
look? 
I feel like this pickleball 

701
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,480
revolution is probably adding a 
lot of joy to people. 

702
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,480
'S life. 
Oh my gosh. 

703
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,480
Actually when I play I don't do 
it regularly but. 

704
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,480
Yeah, but it's fun and there's 
really great research around it,

705
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:10,960
too. 
Is there racket sports? 

706
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:12,040
Yes. 
Tennis. 

707
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:13,920
Pickleball extends lifespan, 
right? 

708
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,000
Yeah. 
So it's amazing. 

709
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:17,240
It's like the thing and you're 
getting movement. 

710
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,160
The left and right brain 
absolutely with the racket 

711
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,880
sport. 
Yeah, yeah, you have to use 

712
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:22,520
your. 
You have to use your. 

713
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,400
You have to use your body. 
You're talking to people. 

714
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:26,200
There's so many. 
I love pickleball, too. 

715
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:27,600
You play it. 
Yeah, Yeah. 

716
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,080
I've been playing a lot more 
games lately cuz my kids are now

717
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,600
at the age where they can play 
card games and bop it. 

718
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,360
We've been really into bop it. 
I feel like it's good for my 

719
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,840
brain because it's working. 
Those auditory reaction stuff of

720
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,200
connecting the auditory stuff 
with like the physical like, 

721
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,680
yeah. 
And then there's this GameSpot 

722
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:49,800
it. 
Have you heard of Spot? 

723
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:51,640
No. 
OK, you should start playing 

724
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:52,840
this with your kids. 
It's really fun. 

725
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,280
My 3 year old can play it, but 
it's, it's this card game and I 

726
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,320
don't know how it works. 
It's, it's kind of a mystery to 

727
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,000
me. 
But it's, they're these circular

728
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,520
cards and it comes in a deck and
you flip over 2 at the same time

729
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,480
and they're filled with all 
these little figures. 

730
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,920
There's like a turtle and a 
question mark and like all these

731
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:11,720
different things. 
And you have to find there's 

732
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:15,520
always 2 that correspond. 
And it's like a memory. 

733
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:16,120
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

734
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,560
I hate the memory game, I suck 
at it like my kids beat me at 

735
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:23,200
that one every time. 
But spot it is so fun and I feel

736
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,280
like it's just luck of the draw 
who's gonna win? 

737
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,160
Like sometimes my 3 year old 
wins, sometimes I win, sometimes

738
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,920
my 6 year old, sometimes my 9 
year old, but it's like 1 game 

739
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:32,360
that I feel like all of us can 
play. 

740
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,320
I love that, yeah, I love 
bringing back like especially 

741
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,520
Bop it that what a throw. 
Didn't even know I know. 

742
00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,360
Yeah, my son got one for his 
birthday and he's too young for 

743
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:41,920
it, but I just got really into 
it. 

744
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,600
We were actually at a hotel 
celebrating his birthday and we 

745
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,520
were all playing bop it. 
But I got like super addicted to

746
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,640
it. 
And my husband was gone doing 

747
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,480
something and I was like home 
with the kids. 

748
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:54,920
We had ordered room service and 
the room service guy comes in 

749
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:59,040
and I'm like outside in the 
patio, like so into bop it and 

750
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,560
my kids are in there and the 
guy's like, is your mom like, 

751
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,480
where's your parent? 
And they were like, oh, she's 

752
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,040
like out there, like. 
Bop it in the band I know. 

753
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,080
I've been playing speed with my 
daughter. 

754
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:10,960
Oh, that's fun, all these. 
Memories. 

755
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,800
It's fun. 
Really good idea playing that 

756
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:15,360
stuff. 
Also, I've heard a lot of women 

757
00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,159
say towards the end of 
pregnancy, puzzles. 

758
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,440
Puzzles really. 
You're like waiting. 

759
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:21,679
You need something to take your 
mind off things. 

760
00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:22,679
So OK. 
Yeah. 

761
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,960
Nice, satisfying. 
You're like putting some 

762
00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:26,040
together. 
Yeah. 

763
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:27,960
That's not the health stuff. 
OK, great. 

764
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Yeah. 
What about toxins? 

765
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,600
How do you guys think about 
toxins in our environment and 

766
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:37,040
what impact do toxins have on 
our hormones? 

767
00:34:37,639 --> 00:34:40,880
Yeah, this is a a low hanging 
fruit. 

768
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,600
And you know who's great about 
talking about this is Allison, 

769
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,600
who I know you're very good 
friends with. 

770
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,120
And she put it beautifully. 
And I'll kind of take some of 

771
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,360
what she said. 
It can be, it can feel really 

772
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,600
scary in the world of toxins 
because there's no escaping 

773
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:56,920
them. 
I mean, especially when it comes

774
00:34:56,920 --> 00:35:00,120
to the whole conversation around
microplastics and everything, it

775
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,920
feels daunting. 
So we don't need to go out 

776
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:04,440
seeking toxins. 
They're there. 

777
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,440
So what can we do to reduce our 
toxic burden? 

778
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,800
And especially if you have young
women in your home, if you have 

779
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,120
daughters, this is really, 
really important. 

780
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,480
I think there's somewhere along 
the lines somebody decided in 

781
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:19,840
order for something to feel 
clean or for you to feel clean, 

782
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,240
you have to smell a certain way.
You have to smell like perfumes 

783
00:35:23,240 --> 00:35:25,560
or this or that, and it's not 
true. 

784
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,960
And so these things are known 
endocrine disruptors, their 

785
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,480
neurotoxins, their carcinogens 
in there. 

786
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:36,040
And it's like we need to give 
our daughters a fighting chance.

787
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,440
And so if you have these things 
in your home, your, your kid 

788
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,320
might get mad, but it's your 
responsibility to protect them. 

789
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,160
Just get them out of the home 
because it's not worth it. 

790
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:48,280
And the research around it is is
it's pretty frightening. 

791
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,400
Yeah, and that's such a big 
thing. 

792
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,400
Now I'm thinking of all of the 
tweens and teens that are like 

793
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,960
support obsessed. 
I thought we went through that 

794
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,040
and that was kind of a thing of 
the past. 

795
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,480
We went through that with Bath 
and Body Works generation. 

796
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,000
Yeah, but people are still doing
that. 

797
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,720
Yeah, it's really harmful, 
especially at that age when like

798
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:14,160
their hormones are changing so 
much. 

799
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,640
That's an important time and so 
influential in terms of like how

800
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,480
they're going to experience 
their their period and their 

801
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,640
body as it changes. 
So yeah, if someone could 

802
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:28,280
implement just one habit that 
would impact their hormonal 

803
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,920
health for the better, what 
would that be for each of you? 

804
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:37,200
What do you think, Yaz? 
I would say sleep for me is like

805
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:39,800
really dialing in your sleep as 
much as you can. 

806
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,080
It's free. 
There's so much that you can do 

807
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:44,440
to to get that in, you know, in 
your system. 

808
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,960
And I think it's such a 
important foundational layer to 

809
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:48,800
have. 
Yeah, I agree. 

810
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:51,120
I agree too. 
I think that would be mine. 

811
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:54,520
I mean, it's and nobody knows it
better than a sleep deprived 

812
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,200
mom, right? 
Because your you, your brain 

813
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,400
doesn't function the same. 
You make poor choices, your 

814
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:03,640
blood sugar gets messed up, the 
effects of insulin are 

815
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,920
different, and sleep is just how
our body detoxifies and how we 

816
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,640
recover. 
So I think I agree. 

817
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,280
You don't realize how important 
it is until you go for a 

818
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,400
stretch. 
Yeah. 

819
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,320
Without having it or having 
adequate sleep, yeah. 

820
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,000
Yeah, take it for granted when 
I'm. 

821
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,120
Song. 
What about magnesium? 

822
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,680
What impact does magnesium have 
on our sleep and just stress 

823
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,480
levels in general? 
Yeah. 

824
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,400
Magnesium is is my favorite 
mineral, which I mean, I'm a 

825
00:37:30,400 --> 00:37:32,160
nutrition nerd, so I have one of
those you. 

826
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:38,120
Have like a top 10 mineral. 
And vitamin, vitamin C, but 

827
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,480
magnesium is involved in so many
processes in the body. 

828
00:37:41,520 --> 00:37:45,000
It's involved in over 600 
enzymatic reactions in the body.

829
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:51,120
It plays a role in brain health,
heart health, blood sugar, PMSI 

830
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,040
mean you name it, magnesium 
plays a role. 

831
00:37:53,040 --> 00:37:55,880
And it's it's actually one of 
the more commonly accepted 

832
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:57,440
things to use even in the 
hospital. 

833
00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,200
For example, like when women 
have preeclampsia or, you know, 

834
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,840
they're struggling with 
different things in pregnancy, 

835
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,120
they'll give them a magnesium 
drip. 

836
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,480
And even cardiologists are 
recommending magnesium now 

837
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,720
because so many people are 
struggling with anxiety and 

838
00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:11,640
heart palpitations and stuff 
like that. 

839
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,000
So we knew that our second 
product had to be magnesium 

840
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,520
because every expert we've ever 
talked to has consistently said 

841
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,720
magnesium is one of the number 
one things that they recommend. 

842
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,520
And so it's the ultimate 
relaxation mineral. 

843
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,840
So if you're having trouble 
winding down, chances are you 

844
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,080
need more magnesium. 
Most people don't get enough. 

845
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,760
And even with the perfect diet, 
our soils depleted, you know, 

846
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:35,760
there are a lot of factors 
there, so. 

847
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,240
Can you overdo it with 
magnesium? 

848
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,440
Yeah, for sure. 
And the way that you know if 

849
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:42,000
you're overdoing it is that if 
you have loose stools, is that 

850
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:43,720
right? 
Well, some people are really 

851
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:47,080
sensitive to magnesium, so even 
if they're getting under 300 

852
00:38:47,080 --> 00:38:49,960
milligrams, they could still 
have loose stools. 

853
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:51,600
Is that the serving size of 
yours? 

854
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:55,960
Ours is 300, which is about the 
RDA is about 300. 

855
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,520
It's different for men and 
women, I think, but that's about

856
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,800
the amount that I would 
recommend 300 to 500 for for 

857
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,080
everyday people. 
But if you do experience loose 

858
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,240
stools, you might need to take 
it easy build up. 

859
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,920
There's certain types of 
magnesium's that really make you

860
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,520
go to the bathroom, magnesium 
citrate. 

861
00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,520
So if anybody's constipated, 
that could be a great tool. 

862
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:17,640
And then there's ones that are a
little bit easier on the 

863
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,760
stomach, like magnesium 
glycinate, which is is is it's 

864
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,480
the more universal one, OK. 
And you recommend taking it 

865
00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,280
before bed? 
Yeah, for sure. 

866
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:27,960
I always recommend minerals 
before bed and vitamins in the 

867
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,120
morning. 
Vitamins are more energized and 

868
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,480
minerals are more chilling. 
So that's kind of how how we 

869
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,080
like to do it. 
I. 

870
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,840
Love that you guys have some 
good recipes on like magnesium 

871
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,040
mocktails on your Instagram 
right? 

872
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,240
Yeah, we, yeah, we've got 
somehow gone into the Mocktail 

873
00:39:42,240 --> 00:39:43,960
game. 
I don't know how that happened. 

874
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,120
It's fun. 
There's so much that you could 

875
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:46,800
do. 
Yeah, I was like salivating 

876
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:49,040
scrolling through the other day 
as I was preparing for this 

877
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,080
interview. 
We have. 

878
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,600
A lot of good recipes in 
general. 

879
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:55,120
We have an amazing chef who does
all of all of our recipes. 

880
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,640
She's very talented, so. 
What are some of your go to 

881
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:01,520
recipes that you guys actually? 
In your daily lives or like 

882
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,360
weekly or regular sausage. 
We have so many good. 

883
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:06,680
Yeah, I mean, you're, you cook 
so much more than me. 

884
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,840
We have a carrot cake, a carrot 
cake bar like protein bar 

885
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:12,720
recipe, but it's really like 
carrot cake. 

886
00:40:12,720 --> 00:40:15,000
It tastes like carrot cake. 
How many ingredients are in it? 

887
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,600
Not a lot, OK, like 5 and the 
frosting is like just cream 

888
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,440
cheese and Maple syrup 
situation. 

889
00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:24,760
So it's very doable, very easy. 
And that one has gone viral and 

890
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,720
it's it's so delicious. 
I recommend it. 

891
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:28,760
OK, yeah, sounds amazing. 
And you put and there's seed 

892
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:29,760
cycling in it. 
It's awesome. 

893
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,440
Tell us about the three 
ingredient sweet potato wraps. 

894
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:37,520
Oh, my gosh, that went, that 
went really viral. 

895
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:42,840
I think it's sweet potato, some 
maybe arrowroot or something. 

896
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,920
Gosh, I can't even remember what
she put in there. 

897
00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:48,240
But it's not anything that is 
three ingredients instant hit, 

898
00:40:48,440 --> 00:40:50,800
right? 
Because it's so simple and it 

899
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,520
kind of shows you don't need all
the extra additives and things 

900
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,160
to make a tortilla. 
That was like the appeal of it, 

901
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:56,800
I think. 
Yeah. 

902
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:00,440
And I think I mean you guys do 
such a great job as well, like 

903
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,120
Kaya and our, you know, our 
team. 

904
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:05,840
It's like you can actually eat 
healthy things that are easy to 

905
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:07,680
do. 
So anytime we're reviewing 

906
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,240
recipes, it's like what's easy 
to do for the modern woman who's

907
00:41:10,240 --> 00:41:12,240
busy, right? 
We're not sitting there every 

908
00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:15,440
day spending hours on baking 
something, cooking something. 

909
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,840
So you guys have done a great 
job just making it accessible 

910
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:24,160
and easy for any health related 
meal, dessert, drink, smoothie. 

911
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:28,800
So very approachable. 
And that one had purple sweet 

912
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:31,520
potato, which if anybody's 
familiar with the Blue Zones and

913
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,880
Okinawa, that is their go to 
super food there. 

914
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,320
It's really good too. 
It's I like. 

915
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,040
And we get it in California, 
everywhere. 

916
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:40,560
So we're lucky. 
Yeah, Really. 

917
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,480
Yeah, it's not everywhere, 
unfortunately. 

918
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:45,720
What is something that just 
absolutely wrecks hormones and 

919
00:41:45,720 --> 00:41:48,240
that anyone who wants to 
optimize their hormones should 

920
00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:52,120
stay far away from? 
I mean, this is maybe 

921
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,560
unconventional, but we've talked
about so many things. 

922
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,120
I would say toxic people, like I
don't know if maybe being 

923
00:41:58,120 --> 00:42:01,800
pregnant or like feeling 
people's energy or stress. 

924
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,640
It's, I mean, it's just 
sometimes you got to put 

925
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:05,200
boundaries and it's just not 
worth it. 

926
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,880
It's like, how can you curate 
what you were saying? 

927
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:12,480
Like community, fun, happiness. 
So you know, at least for me, 

928
00:42:12,480 --> 00:42:16,360
when someone stresses me out or 
is toxic, it truly impacts me 

929
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,280
and my core is all I'm sure 
spikes and I get stressed. 

930
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,160
So I think that's something we 
don't think enough about. 

931
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:24,880
Yeah, I think it's something 
like with family and such we 

932
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:28,520
can't always avoid and you have 
to learn to interact with people

933
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,840
that may stress us out or 
whatnot. 

934
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:34,920
But I think we also forget that 
we can choose our friends and 

935
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,440
the people that we aren't like 
related to. 

936
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,560
And, and it's OK to remove 
yourself from a friendship or 

937
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:46,000
even take a break from a 
friendship if, if it is 

938
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:50,920
becoming, you know, overwhelming
or or exceedingly difficult to, 

939
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,600
to handle a certain personality 
type or whatnot. 

940
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,320
Yeah. 
And how can you make yourself so

941
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:59,360
resilient that if you have those
people in your life that you 

942
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:02,760
love them and care for them and 
their family, that it doesn't 

943
00:43:03,600 --> 00:43:07,520
completely destroy you, Right. 
I think about that a lot because

944
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:08,960
there are certain people in my 
life. 

945
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:12,240
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna cut
them out because I love them. 

946
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,960
But, you know, how can we build 
that? 

947
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,280
Resilience is important, too. 
You said toxic people. 

948
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:20,200
I'm gonna say toxins. 
Yeah, toxin. 

949
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,920
Toxins for sure. 
I think things like the plug 

950
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,000
insurance, the air fresheners. 
Easy. 

951
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,240
Yeah. 
Just the easy things that, you 

952
00:43:28,240 --> 00:43:30,400
know, I'm waiting to. 
Some of my friends I've just 

953
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,520
met, I can't do this yet. 
But when we get closer, I'll 

954
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:34,040
throw those things out in their 
house. 

955
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,240
I'll be that person. 
Yeah. 

956
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:37,000
Especially if they have young 
kids. 

957
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,280
Yeah. 
Just just get it out of the 

958
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:38,920
house. 
It's easy. 

959
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,000
You don't need it. 
No. 

960
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:43,440
Yeah, no, it's always shocking 
to me going into Airbnb's and 

961
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:46,360
just yes, these plug insurance. 
I'm like, are we really still 

962
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:48,520
doing this? 
Yeah, like, really, laundry 

963
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,080
detergent that is wrong. 
Yeah. 

964
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:54,480
And it's interesting because 
when you're used to it, you're 

965
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:55,800
used to it. 
You don't get headaches. 

966
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,600
But as you take things out and I
walk into an Airbnb, I go into 

967
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:01,200
someone's house, I get a 
headache. 

968
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:03,760
So it's just amazing how your 
body will recalibrate. 

969
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,560
It is so because I was like, oh,
back then, I never thought it 

970
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:08,240
was an issue. 
But it's not until you remove 

971
00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:11,200
stuff and then you're around and
you're like, oh, this is toxic. 

972
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,760
I feel it in my body. 
Totally, Yeah. 

973
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:19,800
How do you guys protect your 
energy as founders, as moms? 

974
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:22,240
Like are there any tips or 
tricks that you use or 

975
00:44:22,240 --> 00:44:27,920
frameworks to just make sure 
that you are showing up like to 

976
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,560
the best of your ability for the
things that really matter in 

977
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,440
your worlds? 
I would say for me, I kind of 

978
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:39,120
came into Wellness because I 
want to show up as my best self.

979
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:41,280
Like yes, I had horrible 
periods. 

980
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,240
I was able to help that, but my 
my intention to get even deeper 

981
00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:48,400
in the space is how can I show 
up as a better person because I 

982
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:51,520
want to live a big life. 
I want to have a family, I want 

983
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,520
to have a business, I want to 
have friends, I want to have a 

984
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,240
great marriage. 
I want to, you know, do it all. 

985
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,360
And so much of that is how are 
you feeling every day? 

986
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:02,840
How is your energy management? 
So I think doing everything that

987
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:06,440
we've talked about has become a 
lifestyle and I'm able to show 

988
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:10,040
up as my best self in everything
that I want to do. 

989
00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,640
Yeah, I think like a lot of 
times, I don't know, someone 

990
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:17,680
who's newer on their health 
journey may feel overwhelmed by 

991
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:21,560
by just like what's involved in 
truly living a healthy 

992
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:23,280
lifestyle. 
But you don't have to do 

993
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,240
everything at once. 
And like every single thing that

994
00:45:26,240 --> 00:45:30,360
you do is going to give like 
energy and life back into you 

995
00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:32,920
tenfold. 
So you could look at it as being

996
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:37,160
overwhelming, or you can view it
as just opportunities to become 

997
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,000
better, and then your energy 
will increase and you'll feel 

998
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,240
more able to take on the next 
thing and the next. 

999
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:46,240
Thing true yeah, I love that. 
I think mine would be just 

1000
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:50,160
having the right community or 
having community is such a great

1001
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:54,160
way to protect your peace and 
have people you can call to talk

1002
00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:57,280
to about certain things or you 
know we're in this together so 

1003
00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,840
we rely on each other a lot 
which is really nice. 

1004
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:04,000
I mean to me every day, I, I, I 
pray every night and the number 

1005
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
one thing that comes to my mind 
is just the people in my life 

1006
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:07,760
and the gratitude that I have 
for them. 

1007
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:10,240
Yeah, I think gratitude is super
important. 

1008
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:13,440
It's so easy to focus on what's 
not going well in your life. 

1009
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:15,600
And our brains are kind of 
focused on that to really to 

1010
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,040
recalibrate and make sure like 
you're giving thanks to all the 

1011
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,320
positive things that have 
happened. 

1012
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:23,480
Like I've had to had a gratitude
journal for years. 

1013
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,520
But you know, sometimes you get 
busy, you forget. 

1014
00:46:26,520 --> 00:46:28,600
But that's something I'm trying 
to bring back more intentionally

1015
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:30,160
every day. 
There's so many beautiful. 

1016
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,720
Things state change. 
Gratitude. 

1017
00:46:31,720 --> 00:46:32,880
Sad, right? 
Yeah, Yeah. 

1018
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,800
And you get to do things right. 
You get to deal with a tough 

1019
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,000
work situation. 
You get to push for a promotion,

1020
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,720
whatever it is. 
So like changing that language 

1021
00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:44,840
is key. 
Yeah, that was a big shift for 

1022
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,040
me when I, when I started 
primarily peer, I did not 

1023
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:50,640
realize that like being an 
entrepreneur is to deal with 

1024
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,280
like problem shall. 
Yes, exactly. 

1025
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,480
Like struggle after struggle 
after struggle and it doesn't 

1026
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,440
stop. 
And I used to think like, why is

1027
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,360
this thing happening? 
This is so annoying, or why is 

1028
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,560
this thing happening? 
And OK, I just solved this thing

1029
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,600
and now I have to deal with 
this. 

1030
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:07,040
But when I change that mindset 
to this is happening for me not 

1031
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:10,440
Yeah, it's like a very basic 
thing, but I just didn't think 

1032
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,600
that way going into it. 
And now I see these struggles 

1033
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,600
more as like, OK, what can I 
learn from this? 

1034
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,000
How can I grow from this? 
Like I've seen it. 

1035
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:19,720
I've seen it enough where it's 
played out. 

1036
00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:21,000
And I've seen like, oh, that's 
why. 

1037
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:23,760
Like that's that's how I grew 
from that one challenge that 

1038
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:24,480
happened. 
Yeah. 

1039
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,480
And then try to look at 
everything that I'm dealing with

1040
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:29,640
in the moment with that 
framework in mind. 

1041
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,600
Totally. 
It's like you take inventory and

1042
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,360
you get perspective and 
hindsight and you, you know, 

1043
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:36,160
it's nice to have those 
reflective moments. 

1044
00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:38,000
I think it's founders because 
you're like, we went through 

1045
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:39,960
that. 
We're going through our own, you

1046
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,000
know, up and down right now. 
It's like manufacturing and this

1047
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:44,120
and that. 
But I'm like, this is all 

1048
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,200
happening for a reason. 
I might not be able to see what 

1049
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:48,920
it is yet, but one day we will. 
I was listening to some 

1050
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:50,360
podcasts. 
I forgot who it was. 

1051
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:52,880
And he was like, being in 
business in a positive way. 

1052
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:54,920
That means you have problems, so
it's a good thing. 

1053
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,240
Like things are always 
happening. 

1054
00:47:56,240 --> 00:47:58,440
And I was the same exactly. 
I was like, why? 

1055
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:01,760
Why are things still happening? 
And if it wasn't, you know, for 

1056
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,040
meeting people like you and 
talking to other founders, I'm 

1057
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,800
like, oh, this is part of it. 
So when you're like, this is it,

1058
00:48:06,800 --> 00:48:09,800
you know, this is business. 
So this is what you signed up 

1059
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,520
for. 
Exactly why some people don't 

1060
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,600
sign up for it like and I don't 
blame you but. 

1061
00:48:13,720 --> 00:48:16,120
Or why some people opt. 
Out of it or opt out of it? 

1062
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:17,120
Yeah. 
You know, you've been doing this

1063
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,120
for a long time. 
So yeah, having that 

1064
00:48:20,240 --> 00:48:22,080
expectation, I think is very 
helpful. 

1065
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,520
That helped me a lot too. 
Have you read Good to Great? 

1066
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,880
Yes, I just started it. 
I just started it. 

1067
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,480
Yeah, the audio book, Yeah, OK. 
Yeah, it's a it's a big one. 

1068
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,200
Uh huh. 
OK, I know I'm excited. 

1069
00:48:34,200 --> 00:48:36,240
I'm gonna. 
I just got it on Emma, Emma 

1070
00:48:36,240 --> 00:48:37,480
Greed's podcast. 
Yeah, yeah. 

1071
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,560
So it's it's good. 
OK, it's really good. 

1072
00:48:39,560 --> 00:48:43,280
There's this analogy in there 
about being an entrepreneur is 

1073
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:46,960
like every day you have to like 
pick up the rock and look at 

1074
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:49,680
what's underneath. 
Like if you just avoid these 

1075
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,080
problems or try to gloss over 
them like they're not going 

1076
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:56,120
away, you have to like pick up 
that rot and stare at what's 

1077
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,000
underneath it face to face and 
like, deal with it. 

1078
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:04,160
And it's like gross. 
It's, you know, slimy hard, but 

1079
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,720
you know, you then you know, the
next day it gets easier and it 

1080
00:49:07,720 --> 00:49:10,520
gets easier because. 
Who else is going to? 

1081
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:12,440
Yeah, exactly. 
Yeah, no one else. 

1082
00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:14,040
But when you're a business 
owner, you're the end of the 

1083
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:15,280
line. 
Well, right. 

1084
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:17,120
Yeah. 
Yasmin, you have an amazing 

1085
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,840
business podcast and you've 
talked to hundreds of of 

1086
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:24,200
founders and entrepreneurs. 
What's one thing you've learned 

1087
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,880
that has really stuck with you 
from all of the interviews that 

1088
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:29,520
you've done? 
I think there's two things that 

1089
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,000
stand out. 
One of them, which I thought was

1090
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,720
so interesting, is that so many 
women started their businesses 

1091
00:49:34,720 --> 00:49:36,800
when they were pregnant or had 
young kids. 

1092
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,400
And I think before I was on my 
journey, before I had a 

1093
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,960
business, I never knew you could
do both. 

1094
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,720
And I think I started the 
podcast years ago because I 

1095
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:47,160
wanted to see more examples of 
like, what does it look like to 

1096
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:48,560
have a family? 
What does it look like to have a

1097
00:49:48,560 --> 00:49:51,680
business? 
So that has been very normal for

1098
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,360
me now. 
So that's been super cool 

1099
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:57,720
because you think when you have 
a kid, your life might stop at 

1100
00:49:57,720 --> 00:49:59,800
that point in terms of 
aspirations or starting 

1101
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:01,520
businesses. 
And if anything, it's been a 

1102
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,520
time of rebirth for so many 
women and reflection, which is 

1103
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:07,440
awesome. 
And another theme and this, this

1104
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:12,240
really motivated me to start 
via, I feel like a lot of women,

1105
00:50:12,240 --> 00:50:15,240
including myself in the past, 
you want things to be perfect. 

1106
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,560
You know, you have this idea. 
You want to make sure all the, 

1107
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:21,880
you know, the, the T's are 
crossed or whatever that analogy

1108
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:23,360
is. 
And you're like the expert and 

1109
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:26,640
you know, every little detail 
when really you talk to hundreds

1110
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:30,560
of women, including yourself, 
You just start somewhere because

1111
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:32,880
you can put together this 
business plan and think about it

1112
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,080
forever. 
And really you're going to be 

1113
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,360
pivoting day-to-day in the 
beginning, week to week, month 

1114
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:39,880
to month. 
So don't even waste your time 

1115
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,800
thinking too far in advance is 
at least my opinion when I'm 

1116
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:44,640
gathering from a lot of these 
women entrepreneurs. 

1117
00:50:44,960 --> 00:50:47,400
So you might not feel like you 
have the confidence, but 

1118
00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:50,680
starting builds confidence, 
taking action builds confidence,

1119
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,640
pivoting will build your 
confidence. 

1120
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,320
So I think that was very 
motivational for me. 

1121
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,480
And how, you know, it's just 
just go put it out there because

1122
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:00,120
life is too short. 
You don't know what tomorrow's 

1123
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:02,480
going to bring. 
And you see, you meet all these 

1124
00:51:02,480 --> 00:51:05,360
women that are doing incredible 
things and they're not different

1125
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,320
from you. 
Like you have the potential to 

1126
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:10,160
do whatever you want to do. 
You just have to start and get 

1127
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,200
out of your own way. 
That is such good advice. 

1128
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,320
That's such good advice and I 
completely agree. 

1129
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,160
Like we are not special. 
Like we just we just did it. 

1130
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,040
We just started and have made so
many mistakes. 

1131
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:26,200
I know I have and I am always 
thankful and I think we're all 

1132
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:28,720
similar in this way. 
But you guys don't have any 

1133
00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:31,640
outside investments and, and 
neither did I when starting 

1134
00:51:31,640 --> 00:51:33,440
primarily pure. 
And I'm so grateful for that 

1135
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:36,320
because, yeah, I shudder to 
think what I would have done 

1136
00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,080
with $1,000,000, you know, if I 
had $1,000,000 to start 

1137
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:42,600
primarily pure, like what would 
I have just blown it on not 

1138
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,560
knowing what to do? 
Yeah. 

1139
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:48,280
So, yeah, I think the humble 
beginnings, it's something that 

1140
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,640
I'm really grateful for. 
And I think that you're right, a

1141
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,120
lot of people think like, OK, I 
need, I need this amount of 

1142
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,960
money to start the company or I 
need to become an expert in this

1143
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:57,880
thing. 
And it's like, no, like you 

1144
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:00,160
become an expert by doing it. 
Question for you. 

1145
00:52:00,600 --> 00:52:03,440
What are some of the best foods 
to boost libido? 

1146
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:04,320
Oh. 
My gosh. 

1147
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:10,120
OK, so first of all, I will say 
any sort of diet that focuses on

1148
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,280
Whole Foods, minimal refine and 
processed carbohydrates and 

1149
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,040
sugar is going to be beneficial.
Now, if you're talking about 

1150
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,200
like libido, superfoods, 
oysters, anything with zinc, 

1151
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:22,640
right? 
Anything with a lot of zinc, 

1152
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,680
oysters, dark chocolate, 
watermelon is great, Beets are 

1153
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:28,680
great. 
Anything to help with nitric 

1154
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,880
oxide production, especially in 
men because that is like you 

1155
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,680
have low nitric oxide, that's 
when you get into erectile 

1156
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:38,720
dysfunction territory. 
So I mean, really the foundation

1157
00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,360
is have a Whole Foods diet and 
then there's some of these foods

1158
00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,440
that you can incorporate extra 
of. 

1159
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:48,440
OK good to know. 
What is 1 Wellness trend like? 

1160
00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,080
A weird Wellness trend that each
of you secretly love. 

1161
00:52:52,760 --> 00:52:56,000
I love my red light people. 
Literally family will come to 

1162
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,920
our house and stay with us and 
we turn on all the red lights at

1163
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,560
night and they're like what is 
going on? 

1164
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:01,760
What do you have? 
The light bulbs. 

1165
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,680
I have the light bulbs and we 
have like a panel. 

1166
00:53:04,720 --> 00:53:07,200
Yeah, we started with the small 
one, now we have a bigger one. 

1167
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:09,680
But yeah, our in our bedroom, 
all the light bulbs are red. 

1168
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,320
So people think we're nuts. 
But, you know, in terms of me 

1169
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,480
talking about how important 
sleep is, I will do whatever it 

1170
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:18,400
takes. 
And it's very calming because I 

1171
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:21,800
did notice when I'm, you know, 
around just normal light. 

1172
00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,760
I'm a night owl all naturally, 
so I will do whatever it takes 

1173
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:26,680
to just get me to be in that 
calm state. 

1174
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:31,000
So I'm all about red light. 
I love red light and I think 

1175
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:34,240
like early morning sunlight too.
Yeah, it's been so huge for me. 

1176
00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:37,040
Like I started with the blue 
light blocking glasses and that 

1177
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:39,720
made a huge difference. 
And then I started getting out 

1178
00:53:39,720 --> 00:53:42,800
early in the morning to 
experience that, that natural 

1179
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:45,880
sunlight first thing to kind of 
get the circadian rhythm going 

1180
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:49,200
for the day and in a in TuneIn a
good cycle. 

1181
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,720
And then by night time, like 
with the red light, then just 

1182
00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:53,800
fall asleep so much faster. 
It really works. 

1183
00:53:53,800 --> 00:53:55,200
I think people, like, make fun 
of it. 

1184
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:57,080
Yeah. 
They look like silly and not 

1185
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:59,520
that big of a deal. 
Like even my husband sometimes 

1186
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:02,320
he's like, like, he knows. 
Like, we've talked about the 

1187
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,560
science behind this. 
I've explained it to him, but 

1188
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:06,800
he's still just like, oh, my 
gosh, we'll roll his eyes at me 

1189
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,640
when he, like, turns on a light.
And I'm like, what are you 

1190
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:10,120
doing? 
He's like, come on. 

1191
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:13,040
I'm like, no, it matters. 
Like, it literally like, 

1192
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,600
elevates cortisol, elevates 
adrenaline, all these hormones 

1193
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:17,560
that you don't want when you're 
trying to go to sleep. 

1194
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:19,560
And the red light does the 
opposite. 

1195
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,560
It boosts melatonin and boosts 
the good stuff. 

1196
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,120
So I'm with you on that. 
If you can't tell, I'm 

1197
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,080
passionate about that. 
I love it. 

1198
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,320
I love that. 
And if anybody is at home and 

1199
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:30,800
they don't have a red light and 
a little tip that I do for my 

1200
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:34,080
kids is watch the sunset. 
The sunset is a really nice, 

1201
00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:35,720
you're saying, talk about 
morning light. 

1202
00:54:36,440 --> 00:54:39,080
The sunset is also a nice way to
kind of get your circadian 

1203
00:54:39,080 --> 00:54:42,040
rhythm in line, which is is also
a nice thing to do a family walk

1204
00:54:42,040 --> 00:54:42,760
at night. 
Yeah. 

1205
00:54:43,720 --> 00:54:45,280
What about you? 
What's a weird Wellness trend 

1206
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:46,040
you like? 
You know what? 

1207
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,520
I don't think I've met one that 
I disliked. 

1208
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,480
I know. 
What's weird? 

1209
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:51,640
Normal. 
Weird. 

1210
00:54:52,720 --> 00:54:55,160
Gosh, I will take it all. 
I mean, even if they're 

1211
00:54:55,720 --> 00:54:59,280
potentially not doing much, I 
love a good cold plunge. 

1212
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:01,640
I love a good celery juice. 
And when I have the time, I'll, 

1213
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:03,320
I'll, I'll do all that fun 
stuff. 

1214
00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:06,480
I know that it's not going to be
the most impactful things, 

1215
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,840
right. 
The foundational stuff is the 

1216
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,160
most impactful. 
But I love all those Wellness 

1217
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:10,760
things. 
That's fun. 

1218
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:12,560
She tries them all. 
I tried them all. 

1219
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:14,400
Yeah. 
I'm like, Kay, how is that? 

1220
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:15,840
Like, she's like a Guinea pig. 
Yeah. 

1221
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:18,840
Totally, I love it. 
What's something you've tried 

1222
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,960
that you are happy to just like,
leave behind not doing it. 

1223
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,240
I think like the 12 step morning
routine, anything that I'm that 

1224
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:31,280
I feel guilty for not doing, 
I've let go of because it's 

1225
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,240
actually, like you said, it's 
more stressful than anything. 

1226
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:37,560
So feeling like I needed to get 
my morning pages in and then the

1227
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:41,480
20 minute Transcendental 
Meditation and and then I have 

1228
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:44,400
to do this and my steps. 
Anything like that I I'm willing

1229
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:46,560
to let go of. 
If it, if I'm being too strict 

1230
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:48,960
about it, it's got to go. 
Yeah. 

1231
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,800
Favorite food for hormonal 
balance? 

1232
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:54,600
We got a seed cycling. 
We can't we? 

1233
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:56,600
Yeah. 
You can't not I mean. 

1234
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:00,680
Flax, flax seeds are truly the 
hero of seed cycling because 

1235
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:05,280
they, they have lignans in them,
which are polyphenol that your 

1236
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,960
gut bacteria love and they 
produce. 

1237
00:56:08,800 --> 00:56:11,240
They're, they're considered 
phytoestrogens, but they have 

1238
00:56:11,240 --> 00:56:13,720
weak estrogenic properties. 
But there's so much good 

1239
00:56:13,720 --> 00:56:16,960
research on flax seeds for bone 
health, for heart health, 

1240
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,040
especially women who are going 
through menopause, for for 

1241
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,720
situations where women have 
really bad periods or PMSI mean 

1242
00:56:23,720 --> 00:56:25,120
flax seeds are pretty pretty 
cool. 

1243
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:27,560
What phase is that in? 
Phase one, OK. 

1244
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,240
Yeah. 
So that is really to support 

1245
00:56:29,240 --> 00:56:32,120
estrogen, which is climbing at 
the beginning of your cycle. 

1246
00:56:32,240 --> 00:56:34,440
OK, Yeah. 
If you guys could leave women 

1247
00:56:34,440 --> 00:56:37,840
who are struggling with their 
hormones with any bit of 

1248
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:41,280
encouragement and maybe some 
light at the end of the tunnel, 

1249
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,360
what would you say? 
I would say there's so much that

1250
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:48,000
you can do. 
You might be feeling like you 

1251
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:50,840
don't feel like yourself, not 
feeling great every day, but 

1252
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:54,680
there's so many free simple 
things you can do at your home 

1253
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:56,360
today. 
And you know, we share free 

1254
00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,200
content all the time. 
There's so much online that you 

1255
00:56:58,200 --> 00:57:00,440
can learn about. 
Just start somewhere. 

1256
00:57:00,440 --> 00:57:03,040
Don't feel too overwhelmed. 
Start with one thing and then 

1257
00:57:03,040 --> 00:57:06,600
slowly stack it up. 
But you have so much more 

1258
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,080
control than you think. 
And I wish someone told me that 

1259
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:13,000
early on because I wish I would 
just default to doctors, what 

1260
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,720
they would say. 
And I think there's more 

1261
00:57:14,720 --> 00:57:17,120
awareness now, which is 
wonderful and more education. 

1262
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,520
But there's so much in your 
control and there is a light at 

1263
00:57:20,520 --> 00:57:23,440
the end of the tunnel. 
There is so much that can happen

1264
00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:25,120
for you so. 
So totally. 

1265
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,840
And I think a a reframe or a 
narrative shift around hormones.

1266
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,600
We talked to so many women who 
are like, true, my hormones are 

1267
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,560
making me crazy. 
My hormones are the enemy. 

1268
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:36,840
I I even talked to somebody who 
said I just don't want hormones 

1269
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:37,640
in my body. 
Yeah. 

1270
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:39,080
And I was. 
Like didn't want period you. 

1271
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:44,920
Wouldn't be alive A but also B. 
Actually our hormones are what 

1272
00:57:44,920 --> 00:57:47,840
make us feel good. 
Estrogen is what makes women 

1273
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,920
women, right? 
It gives us a glowy skin, and 

1274
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,320
estrogen and progesterone bring 
life into the world. 

1275
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,160
And so I think that there's a 
lot of misconception around what

1276
00:57:56,160 --> 00:58:00,560
hormones are and just that in 
two things, they drive PMS and 

1277
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:02,360
they make women crazy and 
menopause. 

1278
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,360
But that's just simply not true.
So when you really learn to 

1279
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:07,800
understand your cycle and 
appreciate hormones for what 

1280
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:10,880
they are automatically, you're 
just going to feel so much more 

1281
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:14,280
connected to your body. 
Love it, thank you guys so much 

1282

amazing seed cycling blends?
