Oh, my goodness. 51 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,720 I love it. Well, I can't wait to dig into 52 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,600 your journey. I know you are a health coach. 53 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,160 I know you're working with women. 54 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,560 We know as health coaches, the unique frustrations and 55 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,560 difficulties that our clients have been experiencing now for, 56 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,120 you know, 1020 years and now this fun new tool that we get to 57 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,240 bring to them. But as with most health coaches, 58 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,040 it starts with you, right? So can you share a little bit 59 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,920 about your personal health journey? 60 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,880 Yeah, sure. So real interestingly and I 61 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,200 think just to kind of like package it quickly because we 62 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,120 all have these long great stories, right. 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,560 But I used to be a consultant in the area of nonprofits and I 64 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,640 still do some of that work, but large scale capital campaigns 65 00:03:16,640 --> 00:03:21,520 and I would travel all the time. I completely burnt out and I was 66 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:26,240 in my early 40s and I could see a path of either I stay the 67 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,040 course and drink the Diet Coke, work out a little bit, but not 68 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,480 really pay attention to what I'm eating as well as I should, or I 69 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,280 really start to course correct. So I dove into nutrition 70 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:44,520 understanding especially like a holistic way of living, how and 71 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,080 everything, how to manage my nervous system. 72 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,440 So got yoga certification and then got, yeah, you know, my IIM 73 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:51,880 certificate, all that sort of stuff. 74 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480 And started a health coaching practice called Shift Life 75 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Health Coaching, because I started to see some shifts when 76 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,880 I made these small little changes in how I breathed and 77 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,480 how I lived and how I ate. And it's been a game changer. 78 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,120 And so what's funny, Jennifer, is you attract you, right? 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,000 So I started as health coaching practice back in like 2017 and I 80 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,160 was attracting like the 30 to mid 40 year olds at the time. 81 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,160 And those women, I mean, I could get, we could clean up low 82 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,720 inflammatory foods, really like get them on this great path 83 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,360 where they're feeling well, they would lose weight, we'd start to 84 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,200 walk more and in a little strength training, all the 85 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:38,040 things and they did well. Well, flash forward, I'm almost 86 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,400 51 and now at this health coaching practice. 87 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,760 It's really shifted in the last 2-3 years. 88 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:50,280 And what worked for women and me back then isn't, isn't working 89 00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:52,240 any longer. We need more tools, right? 90 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:57,000 So then I discovered peptides and so I do want me to share how 91 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,520 I how I. Discovered them, I do. 92 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,040 How did you discover peptides? Well, I just OK, so a friend, 93 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,360 right, So a friend who is just she's an avid reader. 94 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:11,200 She just takes incredible care of herself and she's always like 95 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,200 looking Jenny, is this something that, you know, I should explore 96 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,560 or is this just a marketing tool as far as like a what all the 97 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,840 things? So she goes, I think I'm really 98 00:05:19,840 --> 00:05:24,920 going to try peptide starting with a GLP and I want a micro 99 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,840 dose. And I was just like you because 100 00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:33,000 I've, I got it, I guess, connected with you in one of my, 101 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,760 you know, like digging deep and understanding and like, and I 102 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,720 went, oh, who's Jennifer? It was amazing, right? 103 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,440 So I'm so fun to be on the podcast by the. 104 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,480 Way you love it. Yeah, so I tried myself. 105 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,240 And so I mean, like you, I'm not going to ever recommend anything 106 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,120 for my health coaching clients that I haven't learned about, 107 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,360 that I haven't trained on and that I haven't tried myself. 108 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:03,000 So I made the leap back, I guess it was and well, mid year last 109 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:08,040 year and it was like game changer night and day. 110 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,440 If you were to look at a series of pictures of me over the last 111 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,760 15 years, I've I would lose this 7 to 8 lbs, mostly of 112 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,280 inflammation and then I would gain it back. 113 00:06:20,280 --> 00:06:24,240 And you always see it in my face and then kind of like, I just 114 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,400 keep kind of going like this. And I got to a point I think the 115 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:31,760 last 2-3 years where it just wasn't like it was just staying 116 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,680 on, not just in my face, it was everywhere. 117 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,200 But that's what everyone is kind of looking at, right? 118 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:41,600 So I start on this micro dose of a GLP and all. 119 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:46,080 I mean, micro dose is tiny and within about 8 weeks. 120 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,360 So I didn't really notice anything different. 121 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,960 I didn't have any side effects, nothing, but all of a sudden I 122 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,720 could just see the inflammation go down and I workout with this 123 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,320 trainer and she's like, what is going on? 124 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:05,320 Like it You are like yeah. So then I got connected with you 125 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,840 and dove head first into peptides for practitioners, 126 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,480 which I highly recommend for anyone in the Wellness space 127 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,400 really. I mean, just to like absorb it, 128 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 listen to it. Of course, I've listened to all 129 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,520 your podcasts as well. So just, you know, understand, 130 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,360 it just gives you like the tools to and to understand it. 131 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,880 And it's so new, right? And it's so much being 132 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,840 discovered that yes. So then I had to try another 133 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,960 peptide. So it just, that's really what 134 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:41,040 got me into it, but holy cow. That is really fun, especially 135 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,680 because you had a friend who was doing it too and you and she 136 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,960 could probably talk about it and compare experiences and because 137 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,920 you were in the Wellness space and it doesn't seem like you had 138 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520 a lot of weight to lose. So I want to unpack that a 139 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,520 little bit with you. You mentioned 7 to 8 lbs. 140 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,520 You mentioned inflammation, especially in your face. 141 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,920 And then you also mentioned 8 weeks. 142 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,680 Now I feel like that's interesting for women because I 143 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,680 will have a lot of women who are on week 1 or Week 2. 144 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,360 They're like damaged for I'm not down 10 lbs. 145 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,840 Like what is this shit? Like you have to give it time. 146 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,240 All the studies that we have on GLP ones particularly, man, 147 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,760 they're two year, three-year, 4 year studies. 148 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,680 And so a lot of the metabolic effects that are happening 149 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,800 beneath the surface are going to take time. 150 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,160 So walk me through maybe your inflammatory weight loss this 151 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,679 last time, this final time and that eight week period kind of 152 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,919 what you were doing, what you were thinking, how you were 153 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:38,200 feeling. So I think First things first, 154 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,039 and this is where I think you and I align so well and why I 155 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:45,280 really want to bring peptides to my practice because it's about 156 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,720 foundations first, right? And that's what you always say. 157 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,840 So what I would say in my health journey, I mean, I am at a place 158 00:08:53,840 --> 00:09:00,080 where I eat super high protein, you know, low starchy fiber, 159 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,000 some rice a little bit like I, I have my diet like dialed and 160 00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,360 workouts. I am certified in yoga. 161 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,480 So I do yoga, but then I work with a trainer twice a week. 162 00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,080 So I'm and she is like helping me lift heavy. 163 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200 So I had those things already in place. 164 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,200 I think because I'm turning 51 this year, I'm also like, I kind 165 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:30,240 of want to see how like how good I can feel, how fit I can get 166 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,320 right. I've got so I have two kids. 167 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,760 I've one down in Florida who's 20, almost 21 years old. 168 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:37,200 And then I have a 14 year old daughter. 169 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,440 I have a little bit more time, although we've always carved out 170 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,560 time to take care of ourselves. So I had those foundations in. 171 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,760 I went into this GLP, this micro dosing GLP experience really 172 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,680 with the idea I was not looking for overnight anything. 173 00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,200 I don't want to rely on a supplement or a peptide or 174 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,640 anything. Like I want to do the work first 175 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:07,400 and then I want to try something at a low dose and just use it 176 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,560 and see if it makes a difference. 177 00:10:09,560 --> 00:10:13,200 So I wasn't going into this going super weight loss. 178 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,440 I didn't like you said, I didn't have a lot of weight to lose. 179 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,600 So I think that's First off really like starting with a 180 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,040 mindset of I've got a new tool, let's incorporate it into like 181 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,000 the work that we're already doing on ourselves and let's 182 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680 give it time to work. So 8 weeks. 183 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,720 I didn't say anything to anyone, not even my husband, right. 184 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,040 I know. And I think you did the same. 185 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,640 Like, yeah, so not even, I didn't say anything. 186 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,360 And even I was a little, I was a little nervous to share with 187 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,800 clients that I was doing this too, because I had a 188 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:48,600 preconception of what GLPS are the easy way out. 189 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,520 It's, you know, it's what people all these things. 190 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,560 But the more I learned and the more I read and the more I saw 191 00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:00,680 the studies and the benefits, again, I think it's impact on me 192 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,600 was making me more insulin sensitive was reducing my 193 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,240 inflammation and the hunger noise. 194 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:13,440 Yeah, I did experience a little, I eat because I'm hungry and I 195 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,800 tend to eat a little bit higher fat, so not when I'm on a GLP. 196 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,440 So that was always kind of the trickiest thing for me. 197 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:26,800 So GLP changed a little bit how I eat and the food noise just 198 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,920 kind of quieted just slightly. And I think I went in with into 199 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,200 it with that mindset. And I think that's so important 200 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,800 not to go into it with. I'm going to lose a billion 201 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,200 pounds really, really quick, right? 202 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,760 Yeah, yeah. The thought process we all had 203 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,240 when we were doing Isagenix and Isagenix and low carb diets and 204 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,960 all of those, you know, Oh. And Slim Fast, and I mean 205 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,400 Nutrisystem. Like come on. 206 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,120 I've done the Weight Watchers. I've done like all of it because 207 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,080 of this. Like silly 7 to 8 pack really. 208 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:58,360 Yeah, you have 100 and I think that's why I'm so passionate 209 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,960 about like making sure that people are educated when it 210 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,920 comes to these therapies, these peptide therapies, just because 211 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,280 like I said, the long term, far reaching benefits of peptides 212 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,480 are not, you know, they're not a supplement, they're not a new 213 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,520 diet. They really are going in and 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:18,440 fundamentally rewiring the body, sending new signals to the cell. 215 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,160 I just, I like your thought process and you educating our 216 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,360 women on the fact that like these things aren't going to 217 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:25,800 happen quickly, nor should right. 218 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,560 Right. And I think too like the Peace 219 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:34,000 of Mind that our bodies make these, I mean whether it's a GLP 220 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:39,200 or GHKCU, like that's where I'm like, OK, this is different. 221 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,840 This is not, you know, just a medic, it's not a medication. 222 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,840 This is different. And I think that reading that 223 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,640 and then reading all the benefits and then I know micro 224 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,640 dosing, there's not a whole lot of information out there just 225 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,960 yet. But I mean, the case studies are 226 00:12:54,960 --> 00:13:00,000 like case study here. Like, holy cow, I am an absolute 227 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,200 believer. So yeah, I'm, I'm in I. 228 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,080 It's lovely. I wanted to revisit something 229 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:07,600 you said because this is very interesting. 230 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,400 You said, you know, typically you would tend to eat when 231 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,720 you're hungry and naturally you would eat a diet that might be a 232 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:17,160 little bit higher in fat. Now this is a point I see with a 233 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,000 lot of my women because we were all kind of lead through like 234 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,480 the Paleo diet, the Atkins diet, you know, Whole Foods diet, 235 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:25,560 making sure that we're eating for hormone balance. 236 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,680 You know, cholesterol is a backbone of our hormones. 237 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,320 We need plenty of good dietary fat. 238 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,560 And so, you know, that was that was kind of my informed a lot of 239 00:13:33,560 --> 00:13:36,480 my meal planning and nutrition interventions for my clients and 240 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,520 myself for a long time until I realized that to lose weight, to 241 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,720 really lose weight in midlife, women need to be eating a little 242 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,800 bit of a lower fat diet. I'm not saying like a no fat 243 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:48,480 diet and I'm not saying that bad. 244 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,640 I'm just saying that when we see the needle needle shift 245 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,840 meaningfully with weight loss in midlife, it's generally going to 246 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,040 be with women eating between, you know, like 65 to 85 grams of 247 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,680 fat a day instead of like, you know, ninety 100 and 120. 248 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,440 And you brought up a great point too, that GLP once almost change 249 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,560 your, your desire for fat. So can you walk me through that 250 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:12,040 a little bit because I think it's fascinating. 251 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,920 So yeah, so and I've noticed the same thing too. 252 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,520 I definitely ate more higher fat for a while and then I 253 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,200 definitely reduced it, but it was still a little bit of a 254 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,880 crutch. So but yeah, when you try a 255 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,720 microdose, most of a GLP, at least with my body, it doesn't 256 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,720 like a lot of fat. So right, I mean, it's slowing 257 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,440 that the gastric emptying, right? 258 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,560 It's slowing the so I didn't feel as good if I ate something 259 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,560 a little bit higher. And you know, when I'm talking 260 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,480 fat, you know, I'm talking like olive oil or like really good 261 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,080 grass fed butter, right? But not not a ton. 262 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,760 But when you go on GLP, you just don't want that. 263 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,280 So I started to play and the biggest thing that like I coach 264 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,320 on is like TuneIn to how your body feels right when you eat 265 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,640 certain things because it is always telling, you know, 266 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,760 talking to you. So I'm like, OK, so I got to 267 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,880 drop the fat a little bit and then I started to add more 268 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:10,760 starch. So right. 269 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,080 And there's a benefit to that on a low dose GOP. 270 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,040 So I started to, you know, instead of making like a ground 271 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,680 chicken bowl with cauliflower rice, I would add a little bit 272 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:25,000 of actual rice and I felt really good on it. 273 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,080 So I think just listening to that, making those adjustments 274 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,800 and then again, I've been able to avoid any side effects and we 275 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,160 know what they are. I mean, Constipation and nausea 276 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:38,240 and all of that. And I think, you know, being 277 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,840 very conscious of minerals and hydration. 278 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,280 And of course, I learned through you and the program that yet we 279 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,400 may not get those hydration cues like we always did. 280 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,160 Of course I'm like a big, you know, bucket of water nearby, 281 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,440 right? Yes, of course we have it 282 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,760 nearby. But I think just make sure I've 283 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,760 got electrolytes in it that I'm, you know, consistently drinking. 284 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,520 But yeah, that's, I think really listen it, it helped me listen 285 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,920 to my body know that something's adjusting and shifting a little 286 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,920 bit and then making the change. And I feel great on it. 287 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,360 I think that's a beautiful synopsis of how to live and GLP 288 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,760 one optimize life just with everything that you broke down. 289 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,160 And I'm interested in the starch component. 290 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,960 Hallelujah. Thank God for carbohydrates. 291 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,960 Honestly, like having they're so good, so so do you feel like 292 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,240 your body was talking to you with regards to that starch 293 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,040 component? Like for instance, switching 294 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,360 over from cauliflower rice disgusting to regular rice 295 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,160 delicious. Delicious. 296 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,200 Tell me. What that look like for you? 297 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,000 Yeah. So it's, I mean, it's an easy 298 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,560 change, right? So I have just been very careful 299 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:49,120 because I have noticed I'm 52 like there's nowhere for it to 300 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000 go, right. So I've just been very careful 301 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:57,240 about my blood sugar balancing. And I also came from a space of 302 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:03,000 being hungry all the time. So I think my body, I really had 303 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,560 to rein in the starch at some point to start to balance my 304 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,599 blood sugar slightly. Well, yes, I may have gone a 305 00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:14,480 little bit too low starch and too high fat. 306 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,040 So yes, So going on the GLP, yeah, I'm looking at sweet 307 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:23,640 potatoes and I'm looking at rice and I'm looking at a little bit 308 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,280 of quinoa and I'm looking at yeah, just also with a protein, 309 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,480 right. And with like lots of low starch 310 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,600 veggies too, so I can make sure that I'm getting all the fiber 311 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,960 that I need. But yeah, it's been it's been a 312 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:39,960 really easy transition because it doesn't change that much. 313 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,480 But I mean my 14 year old daughter is like this is. 314 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:46,560 Great. Thank you mom, for making me 315 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,240 brown. The cop Rs was not good, mom, it 316 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,000 wasn't good. Oh my goodness, I, I do like 317 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,120 that too, because what I'll tell my husband and my clients is I 318 00:17:56,120 --> 00:17:59,640 feel like this micro dose of a GLP one has made me hungry for 319 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,520 normal meals at normal times. And I'm not a stranger to, you 320 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,120 know, talking about my history with disordered eating and 321 00:18:06,120 --> 00:18:08,200 bulimia and that excessive food noise. 322 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,120 And I think where some of those, you know, behaviors and 323 00:18:12,120 --> 00:18:15,800 histories can get you is to a place of, of being very rigid, 324 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,600 you know, like I had these rules that I needed to follow in order 325 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,040 to feel like I could live my life. 326 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Like I didn't want to throw my, I don't want to throw my food, 327 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,320 you know, And so making sure that I'm following like this 328 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,120 perfect paleo diet or like a perfect low carb diet. 329 00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:31,400 So I'm not, you know, overeating were some of the, the things 330 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,880 that held me in place, I think for a while, But they're not, 331 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,960 they're not sustainable. They really aren't. 332 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,360 And they're. Not and I love that if you're 333 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:42,440 open to right, just like realizing that you're doing the 334 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,520 same thing too rigidly and you're too like wed to that, 335 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,880 then and if you're open to making changes and seeing how 336 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,720 your body reacts, that's where the magic happens, right? 337 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,520 Agreed, agreed. You did bring up food noise too 338 00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,120 and like kind of cravings. And so being able to manage, I 339 00:19:00,120 --> 00:19:03,680 think those things allows you freedom maybe with the healthy 340 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,840 food you're eating because you're a health coach. 341 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:06,200 I'm a health coach. We're not going to go off and 342 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,360 eat like, you know, burgers, fries, milkshakes and like 343 00:19:08,360 --> 00:19:11,240 Skittles for every single meal. That's just not, we don't feel 344 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080 good. We don't like that, but it does 345 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:16,600 help us kind of maybe have healthier parameters on some of 346 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,000 the tools that we are using nutritionally. 347 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,800 So what did that look like for you mentally as maybe that food 348 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,080 noise shifted, that those cravings shifted? 349 00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,440 Yeah, I, so I would say I'm like a three meal a day girl. 350 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,840 I've kind of always been a three meal a day girl. 351 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,400 And if I needed a snack, I would get 1, you know, like a 352 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,040 chopstick or something, you know, like higher protein or 353 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,840 like a little yogurt, something like that. 354 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:46,280 I don't need that anymore. I was also like, if I really do 355 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:50,160 like a food, I would get like maybe a little half of a second 356 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,080 helping. I don't need that second. 357 00:19:52,360 --> 00:19:54,520 Now. I think with the GLP, it's just 358 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,600 like, this is my plate. I eat it. 359 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,600 I'm not restricting anything. I'm eating the foods that 360 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,640 nourish me, the foods that I really like and that I feel 361 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,360 really good on and don't have to think about anything outside of 362 00:20:06,360 --> 00:20:08,840 that. It's really great to not need a 363 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,520 snack, right? Yep, and sometimes I would feel 364 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,880 like I have 4 babies. Right. 365 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,960 They're older now, but I just remember being that mom with my 366 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,680 Petunia pickle bottle backpack with all the kids snacks in them 367 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,480 and thinking like, dear Barbara, I am like a baby. 368 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,680 Like I need to have snacks. You know, if we're on a car trip 369 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,200 or like, you know, we're traveling somewhere, I'm like, 370 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:29,240 where? Where's my snack? 371 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,000 And I just felt like how old am I? 372 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,320 You know what's funny and what it just like one of the things 373 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,800 that I coach, I have a lot of clients who travel like all the 374 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:38,480 time. And especially if you're living 375 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,600 in the Midwest, like, you're, you know, you're on both coasts, 376 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,680 you're kind of all. And it's something happens to 377 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,360 people who travel for work where it's like they need snacks for 378 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,600 the airport. And I don't know what I think 379 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,120 that is like a, a cultural thing. 380 00:20:53,120 --> 00:20:55,320 Like I've fallen into that trap before, too. 381 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,000 But it's really nice. I mean, my husband and I just 382 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,720 did a little Sarasota trip. I was just up in the Bay Area. 383 00:21:01,120 --> 00:21:04,840 And yeah, I just, you know, I ate my normal meal. 384 00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,440 Nothing, you know, airport foods, not tempting, but it's 385 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:12,640 just very easy to just stay on track and eat good food. 386 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:14,680 I love that. I I really do too. 387 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:17,680 And it just makes me think of, you know, like 60 years ago, 100 388 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,000 years ago, when people just ate normal meals at normal times as 389 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,480 well, like breakfast, lunch and dinner. 390 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:25,360 There wasn't a big snack culture. 391 00:21:25,360 --> 00:21:27,840 There wasn't a big like processed food culture, like, 392 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,560 you know, big food culture at that point either, which is a 393 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,040 whole nother kettle of fish. But, you know, it really does 394 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,400 just kind of bring you back to these biological roots of where 395 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:41,400 you tend to feel your best with, with, you know, regular meals at 396 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,400 regular times. And and you brought up something 397 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,680 I thought was really important. You said I'm eating food I like. 398 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,960 How best to how best to stay on a diet and lifestyle, right that 399 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,520 supports your health goals when you can actually eat the food 400 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:03,040 you like in the amounts that totally serve you and that you 401 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,200 totally feel good on. And the people are like tapping 402 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,160 you on the shoulder going, girl, what are you? 403 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,200 What are you doing? I mean, Jennifer, so I am 404 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,240 hosting just an informational webinar for my clients in April 405 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,680 and it filled up within two days. 406 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,160 So I'm hosting it because simply because I think that like 407 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,000 they're seeing something change maybe in me. 408 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,840 They're hearing, of course, there's this, you know, subtle, 409 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,880 not a roar yet, but a little quiet conversation happening 410 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,200 that's growing on peptides. And so people don't know what 411 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:38,600 they think. They're collagen, right? 412 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,680 They think it's just the collagen powder in your coffee. 413 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,680 So it's yeah, it's an exciting time and I'm excited that I'm 414 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:51,440 like getting to understand how they work personally first, even 415 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,920 before they really kind of explode. 416 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,840 And I and I'm really grateful I think, well to find you, but 417 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,760 also to find LEMD as AI mean a trusted resource. 418 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,600 So Full disclosure, I mean, I certainly did look at Gray 419 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,680 market, you know, peptides because at first I didn't know 420 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,800 that there were any other options. 421 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,320 So I got to learn, you know that there it makes a huge difference 422 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,640 of where you source these. Yeah, yeah, 100% it does. 423 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:23,440 And I know there's a lot of like questions and divisiveness about 424 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,480 like the sourcing issues. But for me as an unlicensed 425 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,560 health coach, I definitely appreciate the fact that I don't 426 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,560 have to worry about any of that because we do use A5O3A 427 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,080 certified pharmacy. Nobody's mixing up any shit in 428 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,680 their kitchen right now. Like just go to the doctor. 429 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,000 It just is easier. I mean, yeah, I mean, to be able 430 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,680 to, again, Doctor approves, you get the whole entire package. 431 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,840 I mean, it really is just nothing better so. 432 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,000 Yeah, yeah, I love it. I'm glad you brought that up 433 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,200 too, because sourcing is important, especially like you 434 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,680 said, I mean, I, I in the grand scheme of things have not been 435 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,920 doing peptides for a long time, you know, like a year and a 436 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,440 half, right. So, so I realize this is kind of 437 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,040 like the, the beginning of, of my journey, you know, the 438 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,440 beginning of, of what we're doing kind of in the Wellness 439 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,960 space. And so being able, I think to 440 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,960 have, you know, people you can trust and pharmacies you can 441 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,600 trust is important for midlife women too. 442 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,520 I mean, my, my client population, your client 443 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,840 population, It's not like 23 year old gym Bros that are fine, 444 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:20,400 you know, doing some of those things. 445 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,280 They're like, you know, midlife moms are like, I don't like 446 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:24,600 needles. Yeah, it's so true. 447 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,200 It's so true. And it's funny when I told my 448 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,240 son, my 20 year old son down in Tampa, FL, that I, you know, I'm 449 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,200 doing peptides. He's because he understands bro, 450 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,840 you know, gym culture. So it was. 451 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,240 It's very funny. Mine too, that is, yeah, 100%. 452 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,240 So I'm interested here. So you, you know, started using 453 00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,320 these on your own, You were getting some great results. 454 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,240 How did you start in introducing them to your clients? 455 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:56,400 So it's I am like you're getting me like just in the process of 456 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,680 it. So here's what I would say like 457 00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:02,880 and really why I, when my friend kind of introduced me. 458 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:09,520 I mean, I have probably right now 40% of my clients are on a 459 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:14,680 GLP, which is I mean that that three years ago didn't exist, 460 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,000 right. So I have one particular client 461 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:23,040 who's based in San Diego and her it's before I had kind of dove 462 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:28,800 into peptides at all and her doctor started to suggest a low 463 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,120 dose trespatide. So as we work together, I mean, 464 00:25:33,120 --> 00:25:35,800 she was lifting weights. She's my age. 465 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,000 So she's like at 50 years old at the time. 466 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,960 And actually she was 49 at the time, really like working to 467 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:45,760 feel her best by 50. She called it her BB50. 468 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,760 So her best by 50, right? She's got a great personality. 469 00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,400 So we worked in all the strength training. 470 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:54,720 We worked on the diet, we worked on the protein, we worked on how 471 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,840 to eat in a way that again serves her while she's on the 472 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,640 medication. Let that I think I I learned so 473 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,000 much from that client. But yeah, so I start to have all 474 00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:10,920 these clients on GLPS and if they come to me, a lot of them 475 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,680 not necessarily that particular one, but would come to me and 476 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,040 they don't know like their doctor didn't say anything about 477 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:21,440 nutrition, they didn't say anything about lifting weights. 478 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,440 They didn't stay say anything about lifestyle or anything like 479 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,920 that. And so I had to like dive deep 480 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:30,600 and understand what they're, you know, what they are experiencing 481 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,880 and what I need to do to support them. 482 00:26:33,360 --> 00:26:37,080 Well, then when I start on a GLP, and now I'm looking at some 483 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,880 of my clients, right, who are in their 50s and I have started to 484 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,920 carefully bring it up. And you know, I don't know, I'd 485 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,720 be, I'd love to hear your experience. 486 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,960 I do get some some clients, this is not something that they are 487 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,800 comfortable exploring and I always want to meet a client 488 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,040 right where they're at. There was one particular client 489 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,280 who I really wanted to bring it up to and I was getting ready to 490 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,440 do so and then she brought it up. 491 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:09,400 It's really like varying, and I think that by doing it by 492 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:14,280 hosting a workshop and doing kind of a 101, I think that is 493 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,120 going to really expand the conversation. 494 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,600 And, and, you know, I think there are some coaches that 495 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,600 really focus on just the GLPS. I want to focus on the kind of 496 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,720 the main ones, especially the ones that like Ellie. 497 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,480 Yeah, sells. And so I, I'm going to like 498 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,520 introduce them to all. And I, I would believe that 499 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,280 there's going to be some folks on the call who are going to be 500 00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,920 like, oh, I didn't realize GOP was a peptide. 501 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,680 I think we're going to see that too. 502 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,120 I think I report back to me. I want to hear about this. 503 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,160 I will some of the questions. And. 504 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,960 Yeah, so and I do, I think that it's going to be, you know, the 505 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,680 right thing for some people, it's not going to be the right 506 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,160 thing for others. And I think the more that I 507 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:58,680 read, the more that I learn, the more that I repeat, listen to 508 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,080 your training. I think it's the injection that 509 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,920 makes it so different. I would say yeah. 510 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,720 Yep, 100%. I was just interviewing Doctor 511 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,200 Jeff Gross right before you and we were talking about those 512 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,120 different methods of injection. I asked him, you know, are the 513 00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:17,640 buccal strips or the, you know, oral formulations like 514 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,480 transdermal, like how do those add up? 515 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,080 And he said actually have a graphic I made to show you how 516 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,960 subpar those delivery methods are over injection. 517 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,960 So I'm waiting to get that. Hopefully I'll be able to have 518 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:29,840 it here. And I'm going to share it 519 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,840 because I I, you know, know that women are scared of needles. 520 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,600 A lot of people are. But the efficacy of injectables 521 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:40,600 is just so much more robust than any other form, which is, you 522 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:41,960 know, take it for what it's worth. 523 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:46,200 And again, I mean, I don't know about you, but how many years 524 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,840 have you know you had a client maybe try a supplement that they 525 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,760 saw advertised, right? And it's like what I've been 526 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,080 doing, I'm spending $150.00 a month on this one supplement. 527 00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720 I've been doing it for three months and nothing. 528 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,000 That's what the difference I think with peptides, right, 529 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,480 Because it is, it's not, it doesn't necessarily be, you 530 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,400 know, it's not necessarily immediate, but it's within 531 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,800 weeks. I mean, again, yeah, just 532 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,720 complete difference compared to, you know, experience with 533 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,840 supplements. For sure, you know that they are 534 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,680 working, you know they're working. 535 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,280 It's funny cuz you brought up, you know, some of your clients 536 00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,880 really hadn't heard of peptides and, and you know, weren't, 537 00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,160 weren't aware of what's kind of going on in the functional 538 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,600 Wellness phase that I've got one of my all time favorite clients, 539 00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:36,080 Anna, she's lost like over £50 just naturally just doing the 540 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,680 things we'd normally do in our practice. 541 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,800 She's a hard the ass worker and she was probably like 3 or 4 542 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,520 weeks ago. We get on a call and she's like, 543 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,160 Jennifer, I'm mad at you. You've been holding out on me. 544 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:47,880 I've been listening to your podcast. 545 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,000 Why am I not on peptides? I'm like, Anna, I wanted you to 546 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,600 do it naturally first. Like I want you to see that your 547 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,800 body can do these things, you know, given the right 548 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:58,520 foundations. She's like, well, let's start me 549 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,600 on peptides. I'm like, OK, let's do it. 550 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,120 Let's. And you know what, like that is 551 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:06,680 likely only going to enhance the incredible work that she's 552 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:08,280 doing. But I, I feel the same way. 553 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,600 I mean, I, I was on a call with Chris today and I think he's a 554 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,840 candidate, but he is doing so great. 555 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,920 I just want him to keep moving forward in the work that he's 556 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,160 doing. And then, you know, maybe have 557 00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:24,520 that conversation when when he's maybe plateaued and he's kind of 558 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,240 done everything that his he's been able to do so. 559 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,080 Almost the accelerator, but I mean this is something I've seen 560 00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:32,600 too. And this is something, you know, 561 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,760 that that I've had to work through, work through with a 562 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,360 couple of my clients. When you are doing the things 563 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,720 right, the foundations, right, you've dialed in your nutrition 564 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,000 and your exercise and your lifestyle and your body's 565 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,400 humming along and you are losing weight and you are reducing 566 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,200 inflammation, you know, adding in peptides, it's not going to 567 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,080 be like an accelerator button, right? 568 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,920 It's going to be something that enhances the work that you're 569 00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:53,520 doing. But especially if you've been on 570 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:55,800 a weight loss journey already, it's not like you're going to 571 00:30:55,800 --> 00:30:58,800 lose like, you know, 5 pounds, 10 lbs within a month or two. 572 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,640 This is just doing that deeper metabolic work of, you know, 573 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,360 working on your glucose and your insulin levels, reducing 574 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,040 inflammation at a cellular level, enhancing your 575 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,120 mitochondria. And so I think it's important 576 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,560 that women and men understand that that it's not, it's not 577 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,640 like the, you know, ejector seed of weight loss is like adding a 578 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:20,160 GLP one, especially if you've been optimizing your journey. 579 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:21,520 Do you feel like that's something you've seen too, 580 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,040 Jenny? Yeah, I think, I think exactly 581 00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,320 so, yeah, Yeah, I think that the hardest part is to seeing the 582 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,040 ones who start on a GLP, they don't have the foundations. 583 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,640 Then they come to me and then we've got, we've got a lot of 584 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,600 work to do, you know, to get build muscle up to, you know, 585 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:42,760 course correct how they eat. And yeah, and you can see, you 586 00:31:42,760 --> 00:31:46,000 can see some of the muscle loss like in their face. 587 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,080 And yeah, that's the hardest thing, I think. 588 00:31:48,200 --> 00:31:50,880 Yeah, for sure. And it's why it's so important 589 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:54,000 to have coaches like you out there that are drilling into the 590 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,200 things that need to happen first before the body is going to feel 591 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,560 safe enough or, you know, or be optimized enough to lose weight 592 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,680 appropriately. And it's why I love, you know, 593 00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,640 getting to work with doctors who do micro dosing or low dosing. 594 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,080 What we don't you know, have a acceptable range for micro 595 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,040 dosing particularly, but a low dose, you know that's not 596 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,200 killing your appetite of a GOP1, right? 597 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:17,200 Well, and yeah, yeah, there's there's a naturopath who I just 598 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:21,320 adore and we share. She had sent a patient of hers 599 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:24,640 to me and we're doing all the things and she's in her 50s. 600 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,520 And this naturopath, she goes, we talk back and forth, she 601 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,000 goes. Jenny, I do think that it would 602 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,840 be time for her to consider a low dose until in Ohio, a 603 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,800 naturopathic Dr. can't do that. So you have to go to an NP or a 604 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,920 functional NP or you know, so she the, the the client was not 605 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,960 open to it when the naturopath had the conversation. 606 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,800 And then I don't know what happened, but I had my session 607 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,040 with her and at the end that she goes, Jen, I'm doing all, I 608 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:55,920 mean, you could just feel the pain, right? 609 00:32:56,240 --> 00:33:00,320 I'm doing all the things I have completely changed how I eat, 610 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,000 how I move, how I breathe, my minerals, everything. 611 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:09,160 So I said, let me, let me just bring this up to you and just 612 00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,400 see if this is something that you want to explore. 613 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:15,600 And she was like, maybe I do. So it was like, so I think like 614 00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:18,920 it has to be the right time. They have to be kind of in the 615 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,400 right space to go, OK, maybe this is the tool, maybe it's 616 00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,240 time to introduce the tool. So. 617 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,640 Yeah, it's definitely a leap in thought because like you brought 618 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,520 up with supplements, there's so many things that women have 619 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,920 tried for so long that just don't work. 620 00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:32,240 They don't or they? Don't. 621 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,760 And they spend all the money and all the effort, Yeah. 622 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,000 And. And it's their hopes up so high. 623 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:42,640 So yeah, so, so after I tried the GLP, Jennifer, I, I then 624 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,120 tried GHKCU. OK, girl. 625 00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:51,320 So again, I'm so I'm 50 and I, I wanted the skin and the hair and 626 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,280 I never had again. I, I know, you know, with higher 627 00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,560 dose GLP, there could be hair loss, whatever. 628 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:59,600 So I thought, let's just lock it in, right. 629 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:04,800 So, yeah, so that was so I felt like I could see a little bit 630 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,760 more collagen in my face. I think, you know, you age right 631 00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:12,080 here, your face, your hands. So I could definitely tell a 632 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,800 little bit of a change and like I'm cycling it. 633 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:18,360 So now I'm off of it now, but it does sting a little bit. 634 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,000 So what Yeah, you know, but it's and I found I think it's also 635 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,199 kind of where you inject it can make a difference on on the 636 00:34:25,199 --> 00:34:27,679 stinging. But I did that for a while and 637 00:34:27,679 --> 00:34:32,400 now I am trying Tessamerellin and Ipamerellin blend. 638 00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:39,159 And what do you think? So I have never slept like I'm 639 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:43,520 sleeping right now and I'm at a pretty low dose. 640 00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,520 I think I started right where, you know, it was recommended to 641 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,719 me and then I'm, I think that was a little bit too high. 642 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:53,760 So I went down and then sleep has been incredible. 643 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:58,440 And then muscle tone where I've never had muscle tone, 644 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,760 especially in my upper body, like back and arms. 645 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,080 So that's my yeah, that's my current peptide that I'm playing 646 00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:09,000 with as well. That is a super fun one. 647 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,720 And when you think about the complaints of most midlife 648 00:35:11,720 --> 00:35:14,240 women, yes, it's weight, right? But it's also, I'm losing muscle 649 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:16,480 mass even though I'm working out and haven't changed anything 650 00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,000 with my diet or my exercise. And then sleep is huge. 651 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:23,800 And so, yeah, to be able to optimize those two things, of 652 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,640 course, like with the foundations that you're doing, I 653 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:28,360 think is incredible. Yeah, I think, I think, you 654 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,400 know, and you know, like, I think sleep is the biggest 655 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,920 thing. So it's like, you know, a little 656 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,680 bit of weight loss, sleep inflamate. 657 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,000 Like if we can give folks, you know, give women especially 658 00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,760 tools to be able to support that, I think it's like just 659 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,640 huge. So again, I want to be in a 660 00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,400 careful way, like using Ellie, like losing the right. 661 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,320 But I want to try these things. I want to try some of these 662 00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:51,600 peptides so that I can share my experience. 663 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,480 And yeah, and I've got others on my list after I cycle off that 664 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,040 one. And I do think Semarella is 665 00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:00,840 probably going to be more of my sweet spot now that, you know, 666 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,880 I've like, again, you know, read up, listen to you, listen to 667 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,000 you. And the Testimorella and 668 00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:08,120 ephemeral and blend might be a little too strong. 669 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,240 So I'm just going very light on that and doing maybe fewer days 670 00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,640 during the week and then going off of it for the weekend, but. 671 00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:17,200 Yeah. But actually was my next 672 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:21,080 question is what prompted you to choose Tuppa and Tessa and IPA 673 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,600 over summer Ellen? And did you happen to notice any 674 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:25,920 of that water weight retention when you started? 675 00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:31,120 So I have not and I even ordered no caffeine water pill out like 676 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,680 as on standby because when I listen to you and I thought, 677 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:37,040 yeah, I don't, I don't want to gain that that inflammation 678 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440 back. I have not noticed that at all. 679 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,760 So and I've noticed again, great sleep. 680 00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,080 But yeah, I, I feel, I can't even explain it. 681 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:50,120 Jennifer, I feel a little bit different like and so and I 682 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:55,880 like, I like the muscle tone. I so I, I backed off on the dose 683 00:36:56,360 --> 00:36:58,760 and why did I choose that over semarellan? 684 00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,880 I think I just got, I started with LEMD. 685 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:07,080 I got really excited and so I, I dove in, uh, looking back, I 686 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,800 think I would start with semarellan. 687 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,880 And now what I'm learning right is that you could alternate to 688 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,320 keep those receptors really. Like you could alternate and I 689 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,200 could keep the IPA Tessa like lower and then yeah. 690 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,840 And I think I I know now that I would start pretty low with the 691 00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,720 semarellan too, but. Fun, OK, very thoughtful. 692 00:37:25,720 --> 00:37:26,960 And that's what my husband Bo does. 693 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,720 He'll he'll kind of cycle those two back and forth. 694 00:37:29,720 --> 00:37:31,560 But he says the same thing, I think. 695 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:33,240 I mean, it was probably a couple weeks ago. 696 00:37:33,240 --> 00:37:35,680 He's sitting on the couch after eating pizza, and he looks down 697 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,080 at his belly. He's like, you know what I love 698 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,720 about Tessmerel and Epamerel? And I can eat pizza and my belly 699 00:37:39,720 --> 00:37:41,840 fat keeps going down. I was like, screw you, Bo. 700 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:46,440 Men are like it's crazy. It like yes, well, and so side 701 00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:51,960 note, so my husband like I I was really quiet, you know, for I 702 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,480 didn't say much. Now he knows I'm all in. 703 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,760 I've got like my father-in-law on, on the BPC 157. 704 00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,800 I mean, I'm doing all the things, but now my, my husband 705 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,960 is kind of getting interested and he's not like he's scared of 706 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,120 needles. So yes. 707 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,640 So we're, we're gonna see where that goes. 708 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,200 But I think it could really, there's some that could really 709 00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:14,680 support him. So I'm excited too. 710 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,160 Yeah, we got to stay in touch about that, Jenny, because I 711 00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,080 feel like I've always said, like Beau is really kind of like a a 712 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:22,080 minimalist in a lot of areas of his life. 713 00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,160 Like he doesn't do a lot, yeah. So is Jeff. 714 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:27,240 Same thing, yeah. And man, if that guy isn't all 715 00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,200 in, I don't know who is. Yeah. 716 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:33,880 And again, I think that when you try them, you do go all in 717 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:38,560 because you do you feel better. And I again with the sleep, I've 718 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:42,200 never slept where my head hits the pillow. 719 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:45,160 And the next time that I wake up is to my alarm. 720 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,120 Like that is, and I don't know about you, but like there's like 721 00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:52,400 some winning Wellness moments, but that is like I'm like it my 722 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,200 alarm. I didn't wake up once. 723 00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:55,560 I didn't. It's crazy. 724 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:59,880 Oh, that is biggest blessing. Biggest, yes, it's huge. 725 00:39:00,720 --> 00:39:03,560 OK, so were you having sleep issues before that? 726 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,160 Were you just kind of a lighter sleeper? 727 00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:09,040 So I, so I'm kind of a person that I don't, I don't want to 728 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,160 like focus on the bad, But if you ask me how my sleep was, I 729 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,120 probably was like, it's good. But if I really thought through 730 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:19,160 it, I was probably getting up to just use the restroom or like 731 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:22,720 twice a night, maybe sometimes 3 * a night. 732 00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:26,240 I would go right back to bed. So it wasn't it wasn't like that 733 00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,240 I'm an early go to bed early wake up person. 734 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:34,560 But now that I am sleeping through the whole night, you 735 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:36,600 feel really differently the next day. 736 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:39,480 And we know like, your body metabolizes food like 737 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:44,120 differently, like you eat fewer calories if you sleeping through 738 00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:46,040 the night. There's all sorts of benefits. 739 00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,160 So I yeah, it's just a huge win, I think. 740 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:52,640 In life, right Yes, yes, give me all the. 741 00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:54,040 Sleep, please. All the sleep. 742 00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:57,080 All the sleep. This is actually something that 743 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,280 Doctor Gross and I were just talking about beforehand, too. 744 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:01,080 We said, Jennifer, you know, why do we sleep? 745 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,560 Is it because we're tired? And I could sense a rhetorical 746 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,640 question coming. So I said, well, no. 747 00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,880 And he said no. It's to repair and to 748 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,880 regenerate. And so to not have that time, 749 00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:13,160 that concentrated time for people to be in. 750 00:40:13,240 --> 00:40:16,280 Deep sleeper R.E.M. to be able to repair and regenerate in 751 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,480 midlife, man, we see why, you know, skin starts to sag and 752 00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:22,080 muscle mass tends to go down and weight tends to go up and 753 00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,800 inflammation starts to go up. And so like you said, you know, 754 00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:28,000 kind of primarily dialing in that sleep can be a huge benefit 755 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,880 to set off the rest of that cascade of positive effects for 756 00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,880 for women in midlife. Yeah, I agree. 757 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,560 I mean, I almost, I mean Doctor Frank Lippman out of New York 758 00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:40,440 Functional Medicine, I mean he says that it's like food and 759 00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,240 sleep. Like those are like it. 760 00:40:42,240 --> 00:40:45,640 It is like because it affects everything, right? 761 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:49,240 Absolutely, absolutely. So OK, so we got your sleep 762 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:51,280 dialed in, We got your inflammation and weight dialed 763 00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,520 in. Walk me through a day in the 764 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,800 life of Jenny Perrin. Like what does it look like with 765 00:40:55,800 --> 00:40:59,120 regards to food, exercise, you know, intentional living 766 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,920 supplements, peptides. Yeah, well, so I am an early 767 00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:08,400 morning workout person, so I I go to bed like I go to bed at 768 00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,920 like 8:30 because yeah, it's pretty amazing. 769 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:13,840 I can go to bed like in any in the middle of anything. 770 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,480 And yeah, so I go to bed very early. 771 00:41:16,480 --> 00:41:19,960 I wake up at about 4/30, 5:00 in the morning, depending on the 772 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:23,040 day. And then I go straight to a yoga 773 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:24,400 class. So I'm in the Midwest. 774 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,360 It's cold here right now. We're having like crazy wind 775 00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:30,600 weather. So I just like, yes, I do my 776 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:34,320 electrolyte, I get coffee and I put a little bit of my collagen 777 00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:39,840 in and then I go off to yoga. I do that's like my, my time and 778 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,320 it's like a 1520 minute drive. So that's like my audiobook, 779 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,640 podcast, whatever, and it's all Wellness now. 780 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:49,840 It's peptides. So it's all peptides. 781 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,640 But yeah, I come back and I've got clients all day. 782 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:57,280 I probably like you, Jennifer, like I sit a lot throughout the 783 00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:59,960 day. So any chance and I've got the 784 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:03,080 clash of winter, right? So we're still, you know, spring 785 00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:07,640 is a long 1 here in the Midwest. So I'm sitting almost all day 786 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:09,720 long. So lots of water. 787 00:42:09,720 --> 00:42:13,760 I eat breakfast, you know, before I start in on my work 788 00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,440 day. And then I try to get up and get 789 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,120 outside and move as much as possible between clients. 790 00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:24,560 Very easy to do in the summer and the fall, harder to do in 791 00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,640 the spring and the and the winter. 792 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:31,800 But getting my feet on ground and my eyes in sunlight is 793 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:34,560 really tricky. And so I have like a grounding 794 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:35,720 mat. I know it's cheating. 795 00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:38,680 I have a grounding mat. I try to like when I walk my 796 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,360 daughter sometimes to the bus stop. 797 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,160 I can get a little bit of it's not sun. 798 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:43,880 It's like a glare here. Yeah. 799 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,840 So I do that. And then lunch. 800 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,800 I mean, I usually I'm a meal prepper on the weekend. 801 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:54,000 So a lot of again, my meals have changed a little bit with a 802 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:57,320 little bit of added starch. But like this weekend, I make 803 00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,040 like a big old frittata with tons of vegetables and eggs. 804 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:03,960 And then I do like a big, you know, chicken, chili, whatever. 805 00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:07,560 I have like a few things that I can head into the week with food 806 00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,640 that I can heat up. So I've got my my lunch and then 807 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,120 my evenings are driving. My daughter, she's a competitive 808 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,640 dancer. So yes, so that's what I am 809 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:20,760 again, sitting in a car trying to get out, get little walks in 810 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,600 while she's at dance and coming home and trying to get a little 811 00:43:24,600 --> 00:43:26,320 bit of a walk in. I do have like one of those 812 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,400 vibration plates that's also like kind of fun. 813 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,520 I don't just to kind of like move your body. 814 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,840 So if I can't like run out and do a walk, I'll do that. 815 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,560 And then 2-3 times a week I'll, I'll like pop out. 816 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:40,840 My trainer is like right around the corner from me. 817 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,320 So I'll train with her. I'll lift. 818 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,040 She kicks my butt. I got to do it in about a couple 819 00:43:46,040 --> 00:43:49,400 hours here. So I fit that in wherever I can 820 00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,800 do it. And then yeah. 821 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:54,720 And I just try to pass everything that I do that could 822 00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:58,040 support somebody else to not only my clients, but I have a 14 823 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,960 year old daughter too. So I'm happy to say that my son 824 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:06,640 who went to college down in Tampa meal preps and, you know, 825 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,360 goes and he gets his sweet potato and his ground beef or 826 00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:12,480 ground chicken and he's like banana. 827 00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:16,280 Like he's got all the things and honey and like real food. 828 00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,160 And so even if he eats a little Chipotle, it's uh, yeah, he's 829 00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:22,320 still eating some real whole food too. 830 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:22,880 So. Oh. 831 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,240 Way to go, Baba. I love that. 832 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,000 And you know what I love most about what you were saying, 833 00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:29,960 Janet, You're being very real, right? 834 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:31,520 You're like, I sit a lot of the day. 835 00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:34,720 I, you know, have to meal prep. I have to put myself to bed 836 00:44:34,720 --> 00:44:36,880 early because I want to get up and work out because I know I'm 837 00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:39,440 going to have a whole day, you know, working and driving my 838 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:41,400 kids around. I have children I have to take 839 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,880 care of. So you really are, you're living 840 00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:45,920 the life that so many of us are living. 841 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:50,440 You know, we got to do shit. So being able to you know, like, 842 00:44:50,720 --> 00:44:54,000 yeah, having having these like parameters take good care of 843 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,280 myself. The peptides are just a bonus. 844 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,000 I think it's it's very relatable. 845 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,280 Yeah, I love that. Well, and there's something that 846 00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:01,920 you. Say, Jennifer, and it's like, 847 00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:03,280 you know, we can't like go to a three. 848 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,040 I mean, we can go to a three day retreat every once in a while, 849 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:08,840 but like pretty much, you know, on an on the norm. 850 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,640 We're not like getting away to do like some like, you know, 851 00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:14,440 yeah, retreat. So it really is about like 852 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:18,120 making the space to be able to care for yourself. 853 00:45:18,360 --> 00:45:21,520 And I think so many of us do sit for our jobs. 854 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:26,720 If I can figure out a way to truly engage and take notes and 855 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:30,800 everything, not sitting like that's going to be like the day 856 00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,960 that you know, that I'm thrilled to, you know, to do that. 857 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:36,600 But also like I eat in front of my clients. 858 00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,840 Like I sometimes if I do have to do a smoothie, I'm not the 859 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:43,320 biggest smoothie fan, but like for me, but if I have to do a 860 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,000 smoothie, like I'm going to eat it if I'm doing yogurt or 861 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,960 something. Because I think we need to 862 00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:53,200 normalize just taking care of our bodies in whatever way that 863 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,400 fits within our lifestyle. That's not like too intrusive to 864 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,440 other people, right? Absolutely, absolutely. 865 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,600 I know my podcast. Manager always looks for sound 866 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,040 bites in these podcasts. That is a good one. 867 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,360 I love it.

I know the benefit to 906 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,560 mitochondria.
