00:00:02.745 --> 00:00:10.365
medications certainly have their place, but what if there was a way to support your body naturally by working with your genetics?
00:00:10.365 --> 00:00:13.371
We are a pill for an ill society.
00:00:13.371 --> 00:00:17.364
We take 18 pills per person, per american per day.
00:00:17.364 --> 00:00:24.589
It was so hard to find somebody who took my insurance and for me to get well it took thousands of dollars and and I thought what do regular people do?
00:00:24.589 --> 00:00:25.693
This is not right.
00:00:25.879 --> 00:00:35.691
Despite my best efforts, I wasn't actually reversing disease and helping people to heal in the way that I thought I would we want to empower yourselves to take care of this root cause?
00:00:35.691 --> 00:00:37.146
We don't just want to cover it up.
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:44.890
If you're ready to break free from outdated, one-size-fits-all health care, you're in the right place.
00:00:44.890 --> 00:00:51.933
Welcome to Raise the Script with Nutrigenomics brought to you by InHer Glow®, by LYFE Balance.
00:00:51.933 --> 00:00:54.162
Here's a literature from.
00:00:54.162 --> 00:01:02.073
We are all unique, right down to our DNA, so it's no wonder we respond differently to the same medications, foods and environments.
00:01:02.073 --> 00:01:04.867
How do you discover what your body needs?
00:01:04.867 --> 00:01:07.555
Which medications, foods, supplements?
00:01:07.555 --> 00:01:08.817
How do you discover what your body needs?
00:01:08.817 --> 00:01:13.263
Which medications, foods, supplements or exercises are right for you?
00:01:13.263 --> 00:01:15.046
How can you manage chronic conditions without piling on more prescriptions?
00:01:15.046 --> 00:01:16.450
That's what we're here to explore.
00:01:16.450 --> 00:01:18.141
I'm your host, Dr.
00:01:18.141 --> 00:01:37.430
Tamar Lawful, doctor of pharmacy, nutrigenomics specialist, and your partner in reimagining how we personalize care for better outcomes, whether you're a patient or a practitioner, let's raise the script and bring healthcare to higher levels together, because the future of health is personal.
00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:41.182
Welcome to Raise the Script with Nutrigenomics.
00:01:41.182 --> 00:01:44.227
I'm your host, doctor of pharmacy.
00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:51.786
I'm also founder of LYFE Balance, where we design health the way it should be personalized, precise and aligned with your DNA.
00:01:52.447 --> 00:01:57.784
Today, I'm sharing a very special conversation from when I was invited to the Daring Well podcast.
00:01:57.784 --> 00:02:06.052
In it, we explore what it really means to move from stressed to blessed, not just as a catchphrase, but as a complete lifestyle transformation.
00:02:06.052 --> 00:02:16.829
We talk about how high achieving women often carry stress so deeply that it impacts their metabolism, hormones, energy and even their ability to maintain their weight.
00:02:16.829 --> 00:02:24.169
And I'll show you why the future of wellness nutrigenomics holds the answers that conventional medicine has overlooked.
00:02:24.169 --> 00:02:33.169
So if you've ever thought I'm doing everything right but my body still isn't listening, this episode will give you a new lens to see what's possible.
00:02:33.751 --> 00:02:41.443
Listen in Gone from stress to bless.
00:02:41.443 --> 00:02:44.912
It's a full body, full life transformation.
00:02:44.912 --> 00:02:59.353
It's a transformation Shifting from a state where your mind is racing, body is exhausted and everything feels too much to a place where you feel grounded, grateful and you're in control again.
00:02:59.353 --> 00:03:04.591
So for many of the women I work with, just in their head, it's actually in their cells.
00:03:04.591 --> 00:03:04.991
What, how is that?
00:03:04.991 --> 00:03:05.332
Break that down?
00:03:05.332 --> 00:03:07.056
For many of the women I work with, just in their head, it's actually in their cells.
00:03:07.076 --> 00:03:07.538
You know it's affecting.
00:03:07.557 --> 00:03:07.979
How is that Break?
00:03:07.998 --> 00:03:08.439
that down.
00:03:09.340 --> 00:03:15.513
It's affecting their metabolism, their hormones, their sleep, their ability to show up for things that matter.
00:03:16.580 --> 00:03:18.527
Thank you so much for joining us, Dr.
00:03:18.527 --> 00:03:19.049
Tamar.
00:03:19.049 --> 00:03:29.435
Today we're excited to have you for the Daring Well podcast to share more about your expertise in wellness from a different approach than we've talked about in the past.
00:03:29.435 --> 00:03:33.569
So talking about from the nutrigenomics am I saying that correctly?
00:03:33.569 --> 00:03:34.132
That's right.
00:03:34.132 --> 00:03:42.330
That's right From the nutrigenomics approach and then also thinking about it from the framework of wellness and how to live well in mind, body and spirit.
00:03:42.330 --> 00:03:50.572
So before we get started today, I'd love for you if you could just break down kind of a brief intro to your background and your expertise and your why.
00:03:50.572 --> 00:03:51.984
Why did you choose this?
00:03:52.063 --> 00:03:52.406
field.
00:03:52.406 --> 00:03:54.794
Oh, definitely, thank you for having me, rita.
00:03:54.794 --> 00:03:56.681
Well, I'm a doctor of pharmacy.
00:03:56.681 --> 00:04:01.212
I've been a pharmacist this will be my 21st year I'm starting to lose count.
00:04:01.212 --> 00:04:25.252
As a pharmacist, I specialize in a field called nutrigenomics, which is a science of looking at how our environment affects our genetics as ultimately affecting our health, and I have I'm licensed in New Jersey, pennsylvania, california Also do health coaching by way of my company, life Balance, which stands for Love Yourself First.
00:04:25.252 --> 00:04:25.733
Every Day.
00:04:25.733 --> 00:04:36.353
I have a 90-day program where I help guide my clients through on their health journey for whatever their health goals are, whether it's weight loss, more energy, using nutrigenomics.
00:04:36.353 --> 00:04:37.636
What's my why?
00:04:37.636 --> 00:04:42.187
My why is wanting to help people Pretty much why I became a pharmacist.
00:04:42.187 --> 00:04:44.446
Right, you know, you want to help people get better.
00:04:44.446 --> 00:04:51.507
When I was a teenager, my grandmother was dying of lung cancer in Jamaica, so my mom sent my brother and I there to visit her.
00:04:51.507 --> 00:04:53.173
Literally, she's on her deathbed.
00:04:53.173 --> 00:05:01.781
That moment stood out to me because there was nothing I could do to help my grandmother at this point in her life.
00:05:02.062 --> 00:05:03.225
Yeah, I just felt helpless.
00:05:03.225 --> 00:05:19.588
So I made a resolve to myself that whatever I do in life, it's going to be to help people who are sick, who are sick, so that they don't end up like my grandmother and if they are, if they, for whatever reason, do end up like her dying that they can at least be comfortable in that process.
00:05:19.588 --> 00:05:22.781
So my mother worked with me when it came that time.
00:05:22.781 --> 00:05:25.403
You know, every child has to figure out what are you going to go to college for?
00:05:25.403 --> 00:05:28.067
And I wanted to.
00:05:28.067 --> 00:05:29.187
I said Mom, I want to help people.
00:05:29.187 --> 00:05:29.809
She's a nurse.
00:05:29.809 --> 00:05:32.050
So I said I'm going to be a nurse, just like you.
00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:35.095
She said no, no, no, no, you're not going to be a nurse.
00:05:35.095 --> 00:05:36.677
I want you to do something else.
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:48.675
I had talked to engineers, I talked to other people in other types of specialties in the healthcare field and I decided that I'll be a pharmacist.
00:05:48.675 --> 00:05:52.444
Because I was really curious how do these medications work to help people?
00:05:52.444 --> 00:05:53.629
Is that a thing?
00:05:53.629 --> 00:05:55.440
Because I didn't grow up on medications?
00:05:55.440 --> 00:05:57.766
We ate natural food.
00:05:57.766 --> 00:05:59.048
I rarely got sick.
00:05:59.048 --> 00:06:01.374
So how do these medications really work?
00:06:01.374 --> 00:06:09.327
So I went into pharmacy, graduated as a pharmacist and 15 years into my career I said people are not getting better.
00:06:09.327 --> 00:06:11.512
I thought I was trying to help people.
00:06:11.512 --> 00:06:21.149
They're not getting better, they have to stay on these medications and they still have diabetes, they still have high blood pressure, they still have heart failure.
00:06:21.149 --> 00:06:23.461
You know they still have high, you know whatever it is.
00:06:23.461 --> 00:06:25.627
So am I really helping people get better?
00:06:25.627 --> 00:06:38.629
So that's when I started looking into something else, looking into something else, and realized that people needed help, really focusing on nutrition and lifestyle changes, ultimately so that they can reduce the need for medications.
00:06:39.490 --> 00:06:43.685
Wow, I love that as a pharmacist wanting to reduce the need for medications.
00:06:44.607 --> 00:06:48.454
Yeah, because it's definitely something that is possible.
00:06:48.454 --> 00:06:59.259
In pharmacy school we're taught to first work with people on their lifestyle changes and nutrition After three months of actively trying that then we introduce medications.
00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:04.733
But now we're just introducing medications right away and not even working with them.
00:07:04.733 --> 00:07:07.545
You can tell somebody you need to eat better, but what does that mean?
00:07:07.545 --> 00:07:08.026
You know they don't.
00:07:08.026 --> 00:07:11.764
A lot of people don't know, you know they're not really given any guidance to it.
00:07:11.764 --> 00:07:22.307
So through life balance, I'm able to be by their side, hold their hands in that process so they can understand what their body really needs to start getting better, to start improving their health.
00:07:23.189 --> 00:07:24.992
And then, on the other side of that, why is I?
00:07:24.992 --> 00:07:26.461
Was a busy mom myself.
00:07:26.461 --> 00:07:30.850
I was newly married, I had a new baby.
00:07:30.850 --> 00:07:38.014
While I was pregnant I was serving on the board of three nonprofits and that's a very busy lifestyle.
00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:40.802
Plus, I was still working full-time and I was drained.
00:07:41.442 --> 00:07:46.411
After I had my baby, I had a very hard time losing weight.
00:07:46.411 --> 00:07:49.322
I was on the verge of prediabetes.
00:07:49.322 --> 00:07:55.783
The A1C was going up, creeping, creeping, closer and closer to prediabetes status and I didn't want to become one of my patients.
00:07:55.783 --> 00:08:00.514
So I sat back and I thought okay, what's missing?
00:08:00.514 --> 00:08:01.923
What do I need to do?
00:08:01.923 --> 00:08:11.911
I need to start taking care of myself, and the way to do that is to put myself first, prioritize myself, love myself first every day.
00:08:11.911 --> 00:08:16.591
Hence why I call my business Life Balance and spell it with a Y for love yourself first every day.
00:08:16.591 --> 00:08:24.833
So, with that being the core, what I discovered I needed was that self-love prioritizing myself first as well.
00:08:24.833 --> 00:08:27.704
What I discovered I needed was that self-love prioritizing myself first as well.
00:08:27.704 --> 00:08:31.913
That's pretty much what I built my health coaching program off of, and I encourage my clients to do at every step.
00:08:31.913 --> 00:08:36.193
Every phase of my program is to love yourself first.
00:08:36.193 --> 00:08:37.779
Are you prioritizing yourself today?
00:08:37.779 --> 00:08:39.605
How is that decision you made?
00:08:39.605 --> 00:08:42.272
Prioritizing yourself, prioritizing your health?
00:08:43.520 --> 00:08:44.846
Those are good questions.
00:08:44.846 --> 00:08:45.989
I love that.
00:08:45.989 --> 00:08:47.202
Thank you for sharing that.
00:08:47.202 --> 00:08:49.832
Can you briefly share about nutrigenomics?
00:08:49.832 --> 00:08:53.143
Like that sounds like a big word, like what does that really mean?
00:08:53.143 --> 00:08:59.153
And how can the everyday person advocate for themselves to one?
00:08:59.153 --> 00:09:01.025
If they could connect with you, that would be great.
00:09:01.025 --> 00:09:09.717
But also, how can they advocate with them, for themselves, with their doctor, their prescriber, or just in the everyday lifestyle, of lifestyle changes?
00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:10.922
That's a great question.
00:09:10.922 --> 00:09:15.724
Let's start with the nutrigenomics and we'll go into how they can self-advocate from themselves when it comes to their health.
00:09:15.724 --> 00:09:20.080
The nutrigenomics, nutra, nutrition, genomics, genetics.
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:23.101
So genomics is the application of what we've learned right.
00:09:23.101 --> 00:09:28.725
So we're learning how food affects our genes.
00:09:28.725 --> 00:09:41.215
Also, our environment affects our genes and has the ability to turn those genes on or off to help them work more efficiently or to not work the way that they are programmed to work.
00:09:41.215 --> 00:09:48.985
So everything we put into our body, everything that we expose ourselves to, affects how well our genes are going to work.
00:09:48.985 --> 00:09:53.955
For example, a simple example I'll give is lactose.
00:09:53.955 --> 00:09:55.543
We know some people are lactose intolerant.
00:09:55.543 --> 00:10:03.182
So we have a gene that codes for an enzyme called lactase.
00:10:03.182 --> 00:10:09.863
That enzyme is what breaks down lactose so that we can tolerate milk or dairy products.
00:10:09.863 --> 00:10:16.173
Genetically, you may not be making lactase well enough.
00:10:16.173 --> 00:10:19.583
As a result, you're lactose intolerant.
00:10:19.583 --> 00:10:22.631
So that's just a genetic a change in your genetics.
00:10:22.631 --> 00:10:24.644
So genetically, you're not making that lactase enzyme the way that most people do.
00:10:24.644 --> 00:10:25.788
So that's just a genetic a change in your genetics.
00:10:25.788 --> 00:10:28.176
So genetically, you're not making that lactase enzyme the way that most people do.
00:10:28.176 --> 00:10:29.379
So that's a variant.
00:10:29.379 --> 00:10:32.148
So it's going to affect how your body responds to food.
00:10:32.148 --> 00:10:40.926
In other examples, we're able to make some changes in your nutrition so that your genes can work more efficiently.
00:10:40.926 --> 00:10:58.551
So nutrigenomics is a test that's done, that will identify pretty much the root cause what's going on on a cellular level that pinpoints to genetics that's perhaps making what's going on in your body that's making you feel more tired, because some people will sleep.
00:10:58.551 --> 00:11:00.745
They sleep 10 hours and they're still tired.
00:11:00.745 --> 00:11:03.072
So it's not that you're not getting enough sleep.
00:11:03.072 --> 00:11:04.644
So what's really going on?
00:11:04.644 --> 00:11:11.044
Some people exercise every single day and they can't lose one pound.
00:11:11.044 --> 00:11:12.168
So it's not that you're not physically active.
00:11:12.168 --> 00:11:13.051
So what's really going on?
00:11:13.051 --> 00:11:20.493
Nutrigenomics can help us identify what's really going on, and then we get a report that is very specific when it comes to nutrition.
00:11:20.493 --> 00:11:31.403
Now that we know what's going on, these are the type of foods that you can eat to help manage that problem, to help your genetics, your DNA, work better, to resolve that issue.
00:11:31.403 --> 00:11:35.817
And then there are these are the exercises that you should do instead.
00:11:35.937 --> 00:11:42.822
So I always like to bring out my experience, personal experience, with high intensity training and interval training.
00:11:42.822 --> 00:11:43.666
I love doing that.
00:11:43.666 --> 00:11:45.149
It gives you this rush right you have.
00:11:45.149 --> 00:11:49.719
I mean, it's hard, but the more you do it.
00:11:49.719 --> 00:11:57.995
But you know, you have this sense of accomplishment oh man, I made it, I did it, I did that and plus, you're you're building, you're developing your muscles.
00:11:58.085 --> 00:11:59.528
There's great strength training as well.
00:11:59.528 --> 00:12:02.616
In cardiovascular health, it's great workout.
00:12:02.616 --> 00:12:10.890
But when I read my nutrigenomics report, I discovered that it's not the best thing for me to do when it comes to weight loss.
00:12:10.890 --> 00:12:21.119
Maybe only two days a week, but I was doing this like five days a week, so it was actually contributing to something they call oxidative stress, which is kind of like your cells rusting.
00:12:21.119 --> 00:12:29.298
So as a result of that, there's more inflammation, you're tired, it's going to be harder to lose weight.
00:12:29.298 --> 00:12:38.514
So instead of high intensity interval training, my report recommended more moderate exercises like simply just walking, swimming, yoga.
00:12:38.514 --> 00:12:46.259
Those would be better workouts for me to do in order to reduce oxidative stress, reduce inflammation and promote weight loss.
00:12:47.325 --> 00:12:48.269
Wow, that's.
00:12:48.269 --> 00:13:11.924
That's a simple transition, and I think that's the other thing is like as women, like we're doing, we're showing up at the gym, we're doing some exercises, but like if it's not right for your body and your season of life and the way that, like you said, the report helps to detail those different recommendations, that's that's so powerful, cool, cool, awesome.
00:13:11.924 --> 00:13:20.636
So what are some other ways that women can advocate for themselves when they think about, if they think that they have like an imbalance in some way?
00:13:21.404 --> 00:13:23.874
Well, one of course, talking to your doctor about it.
00:13:23.874 --> 00:13:27.052
But I know from my client's experiences.
00:13:27.052 --> 00:13:34.669
They talk to their doctors and, hey, I feel this way or that way and it's like, oh, that's normal, there's nothing, give them another pill, give them another pill.
00:13:34.669 --> 00:13:36.791
This is what I like to say.
00:13:36.791 --> 00:13:38.649
Your doctors work for you.
00:13:38.649 --> 00:13:46.917
What your doctors work for you, they are part of your medical team, your health care team.
00:13:46.917 --> 00:13:49.269
That's a reframe.
00:13:49.269 --> 00:13:57.634
Yes, so if you feel that something needs to be done, you make sure that they do it, and if they don't do it, you go to another doctor.
00:13:57.634 --> 00:14:01.913
A lot of people they get this fear of the white coat.
00:14:01.913 --> 00:14:05.230
They can't question their doctor, they can't speak up.
00:14:05.230 --> 00:14:08.120
They're just going to say do whatever the doctor says.
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:10.567
You have every right to ask questions.
00:14:10.567 --> 00:14:11.990
You have every right to demand the care that you know you deserve.
00:14:11.990 --> 00:14:15.360
So if you feel that you want additional tests done, all that doctor has to do is care that you know you deserve.
00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.294
So if you feel that you want additional tests done, all that doctor has to do is write that prescription for that test.
00:14:21.294 --> 00:14:22.625
They work for you.
00:14:22.625 --> 00:14:28.758
So I would encourage you to have that mind frame when you go to your doctor's office.
00:14:28.758 --> 00:14:30.385
Doctor, you work for me.
00:14:30.385 --> 00:14:33.649
So right.
00:14:33.649 --> 00:14:40.096
So there's some power, there's some ownership in that, and that's what we need when it comes to our health care, our health journey.
00:14:40.096 --> 00:14:43.360
We need to realize that it's in our control.
00:14:43.360 --> 00:14:48.089
So take that, yeah, take that control, take ownership of your health.
00:14:48.089 --> 00:14:49.990
Take ownership of your health.
00:14:49.990 --> 00:15:00.880
So definitely, if you have a practitioner or physician that you're with and they're brushing you off or they're just adding another medication, definitely get a second and third opinion.
00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:12.966
If you need to Also look into functional medicine practitioners Functional medicine practitioners they will take more of a root cause approach, trying to find the reason why you feel a certain way.
00:15:13.326 --> 00:15:15.529
So they're going to treat the reason, not the symptoms.
00:15:15.529 --> 00:15:18.855
Traditional medicine treats the symptoms, yeah.
00:15:18.855 --> 00:15:20.677
So, for example, you have a headache.
00:15:20.677 --> 00:15:25.172
Okay, let's take a Tylenol or Sajoran or aspirin, but why do you have that headache?
00:15:25.172 --> 00:15:33.888
So wouldn't it be better to find out why you have the headache and treat that reason so that you don't have the headaches anymore, rather than treat the headache?
00:15:33.888 --> 00:15:42.037
Yeah, because with the medicine, you're treating the headache every time that headache comes on, but let's prevent the headache from coming by finding out why we have a headache in the first place.
00:15:42.037 --> 00:15:46.101
So I would encourage to go to a functional medicine practitioner.
00:15:47.225 --> 00:15:51.910
How do you find a functional medicine practitioner Like is that listed as GP?
00:15:51.910 --> 00:15:55.816
And then they say under that functional medicine, like how do you?
00:15:55.875 --> 00:15:56.417
find that.
00:15:56.417 --> 00:16:01.669
Yeah, a simple Google search for in your area for functional medicine, it will come up.
00:16:01.669 --> 00:16:02.572
It will come up.
00:16:02.572 --> 00:16:06.254
They will definitely have themselves listed as functional medicine practitioners.
00:16:06.254 --> 00:16:07.037
Yeah.
00:16:07.664 --> 00:16:10.092
So that's an area of specialization Good to know.
00:16:10.113 --> 00:16:21.211
Yeah, Now the caveat with that is insurance may or may not cover those type of practitioners, because insurance really deal, especially in our healthcare system, I hate to say it.
00:16:21.211 --> 00:16:24.379
Insurance is all tied to medicine.
00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:33.879
So if the doctors aren't doctors that are prescribing medications and prescriptions, typically insurance companies not going to be linked to any kind of coverage.
00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:39.309
But depending on the practice, they may have found a way to have insurance coverage.
00:16:39.991 --> 00:16:40.474
That's good.
00:16:40.474 --> 00:16:51.610
Thank you for sharing different ways to advocate for ourselves, because I believe the medical model I mean it works to a certain extent Like the system is set up to have you as a recurring client.
00:16:51.610 --> 00:16:52.995
You know what I mean.
00:16:52.995 --> 00:17:05.772
The way it's set up, keep giving the meds and then the meds create a whole, nother problem of dependence or a whole nother diagnosis, especially long term, and so thinking about, like, what is the root cause?
00:17:05.772 --> 00:17:19.828
And so I love that you come at it from that approach to help people to live well, like that's the whole reason for my business is daring, well, daring to live well, daring to be well, like in your mind, body and spirit, and so I love it.
00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:24.689
The audacity to be well, the audacity, the audacity.
00:17:24.689 --> 00:17:25.511
I love that.
00:17:25.511 --> 00:17:34.107
I love the way you said that let's talk about from stress to bliss and ways to redefine wellness, and so maybe that's something that was similar to what we just talked about.
00:17:34.107 --> 00:17:39.392
But how do we go from stress to blessed and how do we redefine our wellness?
00:17:40.032 --> 00:17:41.855
You know, going from stress to blessed.
00:17:41.855 --> 00:17:45.157
It's a full body, full life transformation.
00:17:45.157 --> 00:18:00.165
It's a transformation You're shifting from a state where your mind is racing, your body is exhausted and everything feels too much to a place where you feel grounded, grateful and you're in control again.
00:18:00.165 --> 00:18:06.346
So for many of the women I work with, stress isn't just in their head, it's actually in their cells.
00:18:06.346 --> 00:18:08.353
You know it's affecting.
00:18:08.373 --> 00:18:09.655
How is that Break that?
00:18:09.696 --> 00:18:10.419
down.
00:18:10.419 --> 00:18:17.198
It's affecting their metabolism, their hormones, their sleep, their ability to show up for things that matter.
00:18:17.198 --> 00:18:22.317
So a lot of like when we typically think, oh my gosh, I'm so busy today, I'm so stressed.
00:18:22.317 --> 00:18:25.751
We don't realize the effect it's having on our bodies.
00:18:25.751 --> 00:18:30.952
Like, have you ever known someone that, okay, they've been in a relationship, say it's a really bad relationship?
00:18:30.952 --> 00:18:36.172
They gained so much weight in this relationship They've been trying to lose weight while in this relationship can't lose the weight.
00:18:36.172 --> 00:18:39.876
That relationship ends and all of a sudden they're like 10, 20 pounds lighter.
00:18:39.876 --> 00:18:43.047
Okay, can you relate to that?
00:18:43.106 --> 00:18:52.127
because that's right that's, yeah, that stress that we we don't realize the extent to how deep that stress really reached.
00:18:52.127 --> 00:19:02.386
So it's reaching down to a cellular level where it's affecting the functions of our bodies, not just how we physically present All that.
00:19:02.386 --> 00:19:05.395
We are physically presented in a certain way because of what's going on internally.
00:19:07.990 --> 00:19:09.796
That is like mind blowing.
00:19:09.796 --> 00:19:11.829
I cannot believe that.
00:19:11.829 --> 00:19:14.711
Oh my gosh, say more about that.
00:19:14.711 --> 00:19:16.171
I'm like, I'm like what?
00:19:17.707 --> 00:19:18.588
Yeah, so that's stress.
00:19:18.588 --> 00:19:21.596
It's beyond what's within our head, how we're feeling on day to day.
00:19:21.596 --> 00:19:36.009
It's it's really deep and it affects how we're breaking down foods, how we're breaking down sugar in our body, how our hormones you hear about the stress hormone and how people can gain more weight as a result of stress.
