00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:27,799
My guest is a powerful example of resilience and self-discovery after

7
00:00:27,799 --> 00:00:32,160
earning double majors in finance and international business, she initially

8
00:00:32,160 --> 00:00:37,320
made her mark in the corporate world, but her path took an unexpected turn

9
00:00:37,759 --> 00:00:42,480
when a massive stroke altered her life forever, at a young age, I may add.

10
00:00:43,599 --> 00:00:48,400
Through shared determination and a long challenging recovery, she emerged

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,840
stronger with a deeper sense of purpose.

12
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:58,360
She challenged her transformative journey into her memoir, Breaking

13
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:04,000
Into Delight, A Journey of Self-Discovery and Transformation, sharing

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,720
her journey and the lessons learned along the way.

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,480
Almost a decade after the book's release, she discovered a groundbreaking

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:17,839
nutritional mythology, which played a pivotal role in her continued

17
00:01:17,839 --> 00:01:20,199
recovery and personal transformation.

18
00:01:20,879 --> 00:01:25,959
Today, she's a passionate coach committed to helping others navigate their

19
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,839
own journey of recovery and transformation.

20
00:01:28,879 --> 00:01:33,440
She specializes in guiding individuals to reset their relationship

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,680
with food, unlocking all functions in their overall life and experience.

22
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,720
And I can say that we're in a business group together.

23
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,879
So that's how we connected.

24
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:45,800
And it's a pleasure to know her.

25
00:01:45,879 --> 00:01:49,160
She's from Spain, now living in the USA, in New Jersey.

26
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Please welcome Maria Garcia.

27
00:01:52,839 --> 00:01:53,919
Thank you for having me, Roy.

28
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:54,959
I'm very excited.

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,800
No, I'm looking forward to it because, you know, it's a, it's a very

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,040
interesting, difficult story, but it's beautiful because, you know, you've

31
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:09,839
come through it, so I suppose we'll have to kind of take people through

32
00:02:09,839 --> 00:02:12,639
the journey of what exactly happened.

33
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:14,000
Of course.

34
00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:20,559
So when I was a 25, I ended up at the hospital one day and I thought

35
00:02:20,559 --> 00:02:25,919
I had food poisoning, they run a few tests and somebody finally gets back

36
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,600
to me after some hours and says, uh, miss, we think you're having a stroke.

37
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:38,440
And I was like, all right, so much food poisoning, but what's a stroke?

38
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,880
I'd never heard the word before.

39
00:02:41,119 --> 00:02:42,559
I had no idea what it was.

40
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:51,440
So within 24 hours, I was totally paralyzed from the nose down,

41
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,160
which means I was also a mute.

42
00:02:56,279 --> 00:03:04,520
And I was in that state for something like two weeks before anybody realized

43
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:09,960
that I was conscious and aware, everybody thought I was in a vegetative coma.

44
00:03:10,399 --> 00:03:15,600
And that was the most, I want to say terrifying, but I think terrifying

45
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,839
is not strong enough of a qualifier, right?

46
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,520
That was such a, wow.

47
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:24,440
Wow.

48
00:03:24,479 --> 00:03:28,039
I don't wish that on my, anybody, anybody.

49
00:03:28,039 --> 00:03:31,160
It's obviously you were listening to everything going around and they

50
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:35,039
weren't conscious that you were, which is a strange for us, but it doesn't

51
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:39,399
surprise me, but it's, you know, the fact, yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's

52
00:03:39,399 --> 00:03:41,880
yeah, it's unbelievable that that happened.

53
00:03:42,839 --> 00:03:46,679
And you know, what's even worse is that Oregon donation people

54
00:03:46,679 --> 00:03:49,440
were speaking to my family in the room.

55
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,880
And I'm listening to all this.

56
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,000
I'm just like, but anyway, I was like that for two weeks.

57
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Like I mentioned before, anybody knows.

58
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,839
Then it was actually a friend of mine who noticed I was tracking

59
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:06,880
pictures.

60
00:04:07,119 --> 00:04:12,639
She was showing me with my eyes and she alerted doctors and she alerted my

61
00:04:12,639 --> 00:04:18,279
family and the doctor said, oh no, that's involuntary eye movements.

62
00:04:22,799 --> 00:04:25,519
But I'm glad she also told my family because they thought to say

63
00:04:26,799 --> 00:04:31,079
blink once for yes and twice for no, if you're understanding.

64
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,880
And so I did that and that was my first communication with the outside world,

65
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,000
which was what I really.

66
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,320
And because I know that there's a long kind of journey for this, but I just

67
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,399
want to kind of get into your head space at that time, because two weeks.

68
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,880
And now it just kind of, you know, like the whole year blinks, but when

69
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,320
you're lying and you can't move, that's like eternity.

70
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,000
And I just wonder what was going on in your head, because obviously your mind

71
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,399
was probably working perfectly, but you kind of couldn't even move.

72
00:05:09,079 --> 00:05:14,799
Yeah, I was so in shock, so in shock, I was almost numb.

73
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:19,399
Besides being scared as hell, I was almost like, what is happening?

74
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,399
I just couldn't compute what was going on.

75
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,720
And it felt like you said, like two years of two weeks.

76
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:35,720
And so you were two weeks then, and then I believe, did you get some movement

77
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,559
in your finger or something was the next stage of your progression?

78
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:46,519
Yeah, I began to move my right index finger, maybe half a centimeter up.

79
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,279
That was my first movement.

80
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,799
And then everything progressed from there.

81
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,359
I started moving my fingers, then my hand, but this is all over a period of time.

82
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:04,799
And eventually I was able to move my right side fairly well.

83
00:06:05,119 --> 00:06:06,279
I still can talk.

84
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,399
I eventually got a breathing tube, or a trach.

85
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,440
As I said, a breathing tube.

86
00:06:15,799 --> 00:06:18,519
The hospital was miserable, as you can imagine.

87
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:25,600
I was staring at the ceiling for 43 long days, and I was not getting

88
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,559
any therapy or any of that.

89
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:34,000
But luckily, I'm so grateful for this and so touched by this.

90
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:35,839
My family, my brother.

91
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:43,040
They made shifts so somebody would be with me 24 hours a day in the hospital.

92
00:06:45,079 --> 00:06:50,399
Now, that's and I, because I remember reading the thing as well, that the pain

93
00:06:50,559 --> 00:06:56,239
of when they were cleaning the tube was, yeah, so you might explain, because I

94
00:06:56,239 --> 00:06:59,720
like even just seeing the nurse was kind of giving it tremors, yeah.

95
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:01,480
Yeah.

96
00:07:01,959 --> 00:07:03,799
So that was an everyday thing, right?

97
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:12,320
I'd see the nurse walk in and I already got scared because I knew that I was

98
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,359
about to be in a world of pain.

99
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760
She would come in, she would grasp at my tongue.

100
00:07:18,239 --> 00:07:22,679
And because at the time I had a breathing tube that was in my mouth.

101
00:07:23,119 --> 00:07:24,640
That was before I got the trach.

102
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:31,359
They took about a month to give me a trach, which is normally done quicker.

103
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,359
They don't leave people on breathing tubes that long, usually.

104
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:43,160
But for some reason they did to me and it was just painful.

105
00:07:43,399 --> 00:07:44,079
It was painful.

106
00:07:44,359 --> 00:07:45,600
I remember coughing a lot.

107
00:07:48,559 --> 00:07:49,519
Very unpleasant.

108
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,640
And like there was also the doctor was like pinching your leg or something like

109
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,600
that, so the fact that you couldn't move, but you could feel it, I mean, that is

110
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:05,320
fascinating because like they, they, they kind of come along and make statements

111
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,920
or kind of think a certain way, or they're reading a certain book and even,

112
00:08:09,959 --> 00:08:12,799
even, and why I'm saying this, because you mentioned about the organ donor.

113
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,760
Like I know of somebody on my road that actually passed and they said, oh, she's

114
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,720
brain dead and let's get the organ donors and all that.

115
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,880
And it turns out that that's all a lie as well.

116
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,279
And that's scary when you hear things like that.

117
00:08:27,279 --> 00:08:31,559
So like, I mean, I know that sometimes they're sticking pins into people.

118
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,960
If you can't react, are people screaming inside?

119
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:41,039
It's like they need to, I don't know, they need to reevaluate everything

120
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:42,559
regarding the medical industry.

121
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:43,880
Oh yeah.

122
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:48,039
I mean, I was definitely screaming in my head when I was getting pinched because

123
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,159
it wasn't just a little pinch.

124
00:08:50,239 --> 00:08:53,840
It was more like twisting my skin.

125
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:58,760
And I was like, in my head, I'm screaming, but I can't express that.

126
00:09:02,599 --> 00:09:05,119
And they're just not sympathetic to that.

127
00:09:05,119 --> 00:09:07,119
They're not, you're just a number.

128
00:09:08,119 --> 00:09:09,559
It's a very, very specimen.

129
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,760
It's very inhumane.

130
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,919
So you had the whole family taking shifts, which was fantastic because

131
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:19,119
sometimes people, they don't do that.

132
00:09:19,119 --> 00:09:23,760
So you were blessed that you had such a wonderful family that took turns.

133
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,559
So what was the next stage then that happened after that?

134
00:09:28,239 --> 00:09:33,280
So then I went to a rehab hospital after 43 days and I was like, yes,

135
00:09:33,599 --> 00:09:38,599
they're going to patch me right up and I'll be like before any of this happened.

136
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:46,440
Because I had no idea, I get to the hospital and my first day of therapy.

137
00:09:47,039 --> 00:09:51,359
Therapist hands me a hairbrush and she says, Maria, comb your hair.

138
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,640
And I thought, that's easy.

139
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:55,960
I'll take it in my right hand so I can move.

140
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:02,359
Took the brush, brought it to about two inches from my head and realized, oh my

141
00:10:02,359 --> 00:10:04,679
God, I can't even touch my head.

142
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,840
And I started wailing because that's the moment that I realized the

143
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,960
mountain that lay ahead of me.

144
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:24,799
And I'm just curious, because, you know, at 25, I mean, you

145
00:10:24,799 --> 00:10:32,840
tariff people maybe in their 40s, usually older, but very rarely that age.

146
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,960
And did they know what actually caused it?

147
00:10:38,799 --> 00:10:42,679
Well, they say the only risk factor was birth control.

148
00:10:43,359 --> 00:10:49,840
I know now that it was a level of malnourishment that I had before it

149
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:58,000
happened, but the pill was contributing, unleashed everything happening.

150
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:05,440
But I mean, I think most people are walking around with a low level of

151
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,440
malnourishment, not even realizing it nowadays.

152
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:16,080
I've heard of a few people having very serious issues with the pill, and I

153
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,599
remember even when I was younger to someone I knew, they had acne and they

154
00:11:20,599 --> 00:11:23,039
got them to go on the pill to sort out acne.

155
00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:27,280
And you're like, yeah, and you tariff people getting blood clots and everything

156
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,280
because of the pill and they're making it look like it's safe.

157
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:33,119
And I think people should be aware of the risks of that.

158
00:11:33,599 --> 00:11:33,919
Yeah.

159
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:35,239
Yeah.

160
00:11:35,239 --> 00:11:39,159
And doctors don't tell you, well, this could happen if they're the answer.

161
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:40,000
Fine.

162
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:40,320
All right.

163
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:40,840
The answer.

164
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:42,599
I don't think anybody does.

165
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,599
That's the thing.

166
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,239
Like, I remember I subscribed to Entrepreneur Magazine.

167
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:52,400
I used to be reading it for years and there was an advert for Viagra.

168
00:11:52,599 --> 00:11:53,239
Never took it.

169
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:56,400
And there was two pages of side effects.

170
00:11:56,479 --> 00:11:58,440
And I was like, one of them is death.

171
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:03,200
And I was like, why would anyone take this when a side effect is death?

172
00:12:03,599 --> 00:12:08,080
And when that was developed, that was actually a side effect for something

173
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,960
they were developing for something else was the erections.

174
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,679
And that that's why they decided to create this drug.

175
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:17,239
And it's like nobody reads the side effects.

176
00:12:17,239 --> 00:12:18,400
And it's the first thing you should do.

177
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,440
And it could be you, it could be anybody.

178
00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:24,599
Yeah, yeah.

179
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:28,640
So you start to get into the therapy then.

180
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,520
And what was the next stages that you went through?

181
00:12:32,479 --> 00:12:37,000
So it's a therapy of my family finally did not do the shifts now

182
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,039
because this place was different.

183
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:40,440
I was getting a lot of therapy.

184
00:12:40,919 --> 00:12:44,280
There was day and there were nurses that were very attentive.

185
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:51,719
And so anyway, I finally went home after two months because my insurance ran out.

186
00:12:52,359 --> 00:12:53,080
So I went home.

187
00:12:53,719 --> 00:12:59,320
Yeah, I went home in a wheelchair in diapers.

188
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,119
My tubes were on, luckily.

189
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,719
But there was really nothing.

190
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,799
That I could do almost.

191
00:13:09,799 --> 00:13:18,840
And I still remember my family, they became drill sergeants and they hated every second of it.

192
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,400
My brother would come over daily.

193
00:13:22,039 --> 00:13:23,400
He wouldn't work out with me.

194
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,760
I couldn't even really work out.

195
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,640
I was just doing what I could, right?

196
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,479
And he would do that.

197
00:13:29,479 --> 00:13:35,159
My mother also, we had a recumbent bike, kind of like with a normal seat.

198
00:13:36,599 --> 00:13:38,200
And she thought I should ride.

199
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:39,880
So I thought, okay, I'll go.

200
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400
I get on the bike, put my feet on the pedals.

201
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,479
My feet, they just turned off.

202
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,919
I couldn't even hold my feet to the pedals.

203
00:13:50,919 --> 00:13:51,799
I was that weak.

204
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760
And she tied my feet to the pedals.

205
00:13:57,239 --> 00:13:58,919
My mom tied my feet to the pedals.

206
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:06,200
The first phase was when you were kind of like paralysed as such in the hospital.

207
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,400
But now after going through kind of therapy, but still wearing diapers and everything,

208
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,039
where was your headspace at this stage?

209
00:14:14,039 --> 00:14:19,080
Because that's still, for a very young woman, you know, traumatic.

210
00:14:20,679 --> 00:14:27,799
Yeah, I basically lost my mind because I was hyper-independent before any of this happened.

211
00:14:27,799 --> 00:14:32,359
I had gone to live in Germany by myself for two years after college.

212
00:14:33,239 --> 00:14:36,119
And I was basically just travelling the world.

213
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:44,359
And when this happened, I was like, wow, I feel like I'm going through a second childhood

214
00:14:44,919 --> 00:14:50,359
but this time realising what I lost, which is everything, really.

215
00:14:52,599 --> 00:14:54,599
I had to relearn speech.

216
00:14:54,599 --> 00:14:56,119
I had to relearn to swallow.

217
00:14:56,119 --> 00:14:57,479
I had to relearn to swallow.

218
00:14:57,479 --> 00:14:58,440
I couldn't even swallow.

219
00:15:02,039 --> 00:15:04,599
And I mean, I've heard of people with the insurance.

220
00:15:05,559 --> 00:15:08,359
It's unbelievable that they do that.

221
00:15:08,359 --> 00:15:10,200
I mean, I've heard of loads of cases like that.

222
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:11,799
It's like, oh yeah, your money's out.

223
00:15:11,799 --> 00:15:15,080
They'll take your money as long as they feel it's right.

224
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:16,280
And then, okay, time up.

225
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,000
So you were in a wheelchair then.

226
00:15:19,799 --> 00:15:23,400
And how did you get out of the wheelchair?

227
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:24,520
What was the next phase there?

228
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:32,119
Well, the second I got home, I realised my wheelchair doesn't fit through any of my doors

229
00:15:32,679 --> 00:15:33,159
at all.

230
00:15:33,719 --> 00:15:39,640
And that's when I graduated to using a walker, at least at home, because there was no way

231
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,719
for me to get from one room to the other.

232
00:15:41,719 --> 00:15:44,919
And so as I could, I used the walker.

233
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:46,919
Only at home, but.

234
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,080
And then eventually I was body trained.

235
00:15:52,359 --> 00:15:56,039
So I went back to therapy as a nap patient.

236
00:15:56,679 --> 00:15:59,239
And I was doing that for a while.

237
00:15:59,239 --> 00:16:05,000
And I progressed from walker to four-pound cane to regular cane.

238
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,359
And eventually I was able to walk on my own.

239
00:16:08,359 --> 00:16:10,919
I wasn't very steady, but I was walking.

240
00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:14,840
And I decided, well, I guess I can join the gym.

241
00:16:16,599 --> 00:16:17,479
And that's what I did.

242
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,280
And they had a yoga class.

243
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,559
And I thought to myself, well, I can do yoga, probably.

244
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,719
Because they can modify it for me.

245
00:16:27,719 --> 00:16:29,799
And it's going to be nice and soft.

246
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,840
What I didn't realise is what a powerful mental exercise that was.

247
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,840
Because the black cloud that had been over my head, looming for over a year,

248
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,119
or for a couple of years, lifted.

249
00:16:46,119 --> 00:16:47,239
It finally lifted.

250
00:16:47,239 --> 00:16:53,799
And did you do any kind of meditation or breathwork or anything during any of these phases?

251
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,080
No, I do a lot more breathing now.

252
00:16:58,599 --> 00:17:00,039
And did I meditate back then?

253
00:17:00,039 --> 00:17:01,080
I don't recall.

254
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:06,040
But there was definitely the yoga that was, that changed everything, really.

255
00:17:09,319 --> 00:17:13,959
And so after the kind of yoga, then you started getting, you know,

256
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,359
after the kind of yoga, then you started getting, you know, your mobility back.

257
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,760
What was the next stage then for your improvement?

258
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,520
Yeah, so during all this time, I ended up looking up treatments

259
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,520
and doing all kinds of treatments.

260
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,319
There was sort of like the medical norm,

261
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,880
because I thought therapy isn't doing you all that much, right?

262
00:17:38,439 --> 00:17:39,479
It's very slow.

263
00:17:39,479 --> 00:17:45,560
And if I still have another 50 years, I can't live like this.

264
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,439
I was only 25.

265
00:17:48,439 --> 00:17:49,880
I needed a quality of life.

266
00:17:50,839 --> 00:17:56,119
So my life became about researching treatments, doing treatments.

267
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,640
And some of these were Feldenkrais method,

268
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,479
chelation therapy, therapy in Germany for weeks or a month,

269
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,959
or a month, I think it was six weeks.

270
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,319
I did stem cell injections.

271
00:18:11,959 --> 00:18:16,599
So I was basically throwing noodles and hoping something would stick.

272
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,640
And when people asked me, well, what is it that's helping you?

273
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:26,040
I didn't really know because I was doing so many things at once.

274
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,000
But I figured everything is helping me,

275
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,400
even if it's just a little bit, I don't care.

276
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,439
I'm making progress.

277
00:18:35,719 --> 00:18:37,640
And I even played with my diet.

278
00:18:37,719 --> 00:18:41,880
I went from macrobiotic, to pescatarian, to vegetarian,

279
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:46,920
because as we all know, vegetarianism is healthier.

280
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,520
Or so we've been brainwashed to believe all our lives.

281
00:18:53,239 --> 00:18:57,719
And your mindset then, because like some people,

282
00:18:57,719 --> 00:19:00,839
when they get hit with something like this,

283
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,239
they just kind of, they don't try to improve it.

284
00:19:05,239 --> 00:19:06,680
They just feel sorry for them.

285
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,000
But like for you to keep trying things like that,

286
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,920
was that something, was that your mindset,

287
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,599
or was the family just keep supporting everybody around you,

288
00:19:14,599 --> 00:19:17,719
or was it just your determination to jump back up?

289
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:23,160
As much as I would love to say it was my determination,

290
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,439
it absolutely was not.

291
00:19:26,439 --> 00:19:28,920
I was, I gave up.

292
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,880
I basically, at least in the very beginning and before the,

293
00:19:33,079 --> 00:19:35,800
during the gym, during yoga, I'd given up.

294
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,479
I'd given up, and if it wasn't for my family,

295
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:42,680
none of this would have been possible,

296
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,560
because they kept me alive when I hadn't even lived.

297
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,119
And I was stuck in the why me stage for a long time.

298
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,000
Now it's different.

299
00:19:51,719 --> 00:19:53,400
Now I want to do things.

300
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,359
And after I think maybe five years,

301
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,760
I did want to participate in my own recovery.

302
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,439
But before that, it was tough.

303
00:20:05,959 --> 00:20:10,280
You said, because I see that you kind of got

304
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,280
into personal development then as well.

305
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,839
I came across like Kevin Trudeau,

306
00:20:14,839 --> 00:20:16,920
who I have a few of his books.

307
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,079
Was that the first one that you kind of,

308
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:21,959
first person that was kind of, I suppose,

309
00:20:22,599 --> 00:20:26,439
motivational and as opposed to doing a physical therapy thing?

310
00:20:27,479 --> 00:20:29,319
Yeah, that was a very personal.

311
00:20:29,319 --> 00:20:33,079
And the way I met him is I started volunteering

312
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,160
at a radio station in New York.

313
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,839
That was kind of like my move back into the world slowly,

314
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:44,839
because after something like eight years,

315
00:20:44,839 --> 00:20:48,280
I plateaued, I stopped recovering.

316
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,000
And when I got to year 10, I was like,

317
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,599
that's it, I'm done, I can't do this anymore.

318
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,040
I have to do something other than treatments

319
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,239
and look up treatments, and I want to live, right?

320
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,680
And so I began to volunteer at the radio station,

321
00:21:05,479 --> 00:21:09,000
because I heard that station by accident one day

322
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,160
on the alarm clock, and I was like,

323
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,359
wow, are they actually saying that?

324
00:21:15,959 --> 00:21:18,119
The World Trade Center was a conspiracy?

325
00:21:18,839 --> 00:21:20,119
And I just couldn't believe it.

326
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,680
I was like, oh, and I was like,

327
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:28,439
I need to go there and volunteer or soak some knowledge up.

328
00:21:28,439 --> 00:21:29,880
And I went there and they're like,

329
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,160
yeah, sure, you can volunteer.

330
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,119
And I thought, yeah, that's great.

331
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,680
And so they had a fun drive, and one of the items was,

332
00:21:39,959 --> 00:21:42,920
Kevin Trudeau's Your Wishes, Your Commands.

333
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:45,079
And I thought, that sounds really good.

334
00:21:45,079 --> 00:21:47,560
I'd never heard anything like that,

335
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,959
that would create a reality, and so I was intrigued.

336
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,680
And I thought, yes, I could listen to this.

337
00:21:58,439 --> 00:22:01,400
And I got it, and I repeated it.

338
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,319
I listened to it over and over.

339
00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:07,000
It was a set of CDs, and I just played them

340
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:10,839
tens of times, if not hundreds.

341
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,800
And that was how it all started with personal development.

342
00:22:18,439 --> 00:22:21,959
And I got into it, like, I started going to courses,

343
00:22:22,839 --> 00:22:29,319
buying more books, and that really was a big shift in my mentality.

344
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:34,439
And he, I don't know how many years, but he got jail

345
00:22:34,439 --> 00:22:38,280
because he had a book on weight loss, and they just came after him.

346
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,160
And he's out now, and somebody reached out to me recently

347
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,079
about having him on one of my shows.

348
00:22:43,079 --> 00:22:46,599
But it just shows that when somebody's doing things

349
00:22:46,599 --> 00:22:50,040
that are helping people, they just try to take them down.

350
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,800
And I've seen that with a load, like the so-called FDA.

351
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,599
I mean, just people that work with the FDA

352
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:01,000
start working with Pfizer and different things like that.

353
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,160
But I mean, he had a multi-level marketing thing as well.

354
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,119
So I got a load of CDs, and some of the information

355
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,719
that he shares is incredible.

356
00:23:09,719 --> 00:23:12,040
So I'm not sure the one that you were listening to,

357
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,920
but I know that he has goals.

358
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
I reckon a lot of the stuff could have been stuff

359
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,880
that he had created before and just re-recorded

360
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,239
or something like that, because I listened to some of his CDs

361
00:23:23,239 --> 00:23:25,880
a load of times as well, and I could rarely do that.

362
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:29,239
Usually, you wouldn't listen to something more than once,

363
00:23:29,239 --> 00:23:31,400
but I can understand how you could listen

364
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,880
to his stuff numerous times.

365
00:23:35,319 --> 00:23:38,280
Yeah, and I like that, because also I feel like

366
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,400
every time I listen, I get something a little different.

367
00:23:41,959 --> 00:23:44,439
Oh, I didn't hear that the first time.

368
00:23:44,439 --> 00:23:48,520
Or I'm different, and I'm just hearing things differently.

369
00:23:50,199 --> 00:23:51,479
Or I think so.

370
00:23:51,479 --> 00:23:55,239
No, I remember at one stage, I'd read a book

371
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,000
I remember it was

372
00:24:00,199 --> 00:24:01,880
How to Win Friends and Influence People,

373
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,119
and it was the one book that I read a few times,

374
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,719
and I marked it so many times.

375
00:24:05,719 --> 00:24:08,199
And then I was thinking, I'll save myself time

376
00:24:08,199 --> 00:24:10,439
by just going back and looking at the important things.

377
00:24:10,439 --> 00:24:12,199
And then I realized later in life,

378
00:24:12,199 --> 00:24:14,040
because there was stuff I re-read,

379
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,359
and I was like, I read that, and I don't remember that,

380
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,520
because we're constantly evolving.

381
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:20,760
And we're like, the same with his CDs.

382
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,319
I remember that.

383
00:24:21,319 --> 00:24:23,880
There's times you go, did I hear that before?

384
00:24:23,959 --> 00:24:27,800
Because you're just up-leveling the whole thing.

385
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,079
So then I realized, don't ever do that with a book,

386
00:24:31,079 --> 00:24:33,719
because you could think something's not important.

387
00:24:33,719 --> 00:24:35,400
It could be the most important thing in the book,

388
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,880
and I wouldn't be at that level at the time.

389
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,760
Yep, repetition is the mother of all learning, they say.

390
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,199
So there was, because there's others like Harry Eck,

391
00:24:48,199 --> 00:24:49,319
Robert Kiyosaki.

392
00:24:49,319 --> 00:24:54,040
So you just constantly then worked on the mind

393
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,199
and worked on all these personal development people.

394
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:57,900
Yes.

395
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,079
Yeah, then I went from doing therapy all the time

396
00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:03,959
to doing personal development all the time.

397
00:25:04,599 --> 00:25:06,119
Which I think was good for you,

398
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,680
because that was 10 years of kind of,

399
00:25:11,239 --> 00:25:13,000
because I mean, I've had times

400
00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,319
where back injury or different things,

401
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,040
it's like, it's not a nice place to be.

402
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:19,719
And when you're doing something for you,

403
00:25:20,439 --> 00:25:23,640
it's a lovely place to be, because you feel refreshed.

404
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,000
So I think it was a great thing

405
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,479
that you actually transformed from one side to the other,

406
00:25:27,479 --> 00:25:29,400
because you obviously needed it badly.

407
00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,520
And I agree with that, I agree with that.

408
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:33,800
The one thing I always say

409
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,040
is that I do not wish this experience on anybody.

410
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,079
But I also would not take it back.

411
00:25:43,719 --> 00:25:46,119
Because I did learn a lot about me,

412
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:49,400
and it changed the course of my life,

413
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,239
the whole trajectory.

414
00:25:51,239 --> 00:25:53,560
And I feel like I'm in a much better place now.

415
00:25:55,719 --> 00:25:59,319
So after kind of doing the rape,

416
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:01,239
Robert Kiyosaki and Kevin Trudeau,

417
00:26:01,239 --> 00:26:04,680
what was the next kind of phase then in your life?

418
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,800
So then I found an ad for a nutrition program,

419
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,560
and this was 15 years after the stroke.

420
00:26:14,199 --> 00:26:15,959
And I was interested,

421
00:26:15,959 --> 00:26:17,400
but only because I thought,

422
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,800
you know what, I'm going to learn something new

423
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,319
about a topic I really like.

424
00:26:22,599 --> 00:26:24,040
So I went ahead and enrolled,

425
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,640
and I was hearing stuff I had never heard before.

426
00:26:28,199 --> 00:26:31,319
When I began the course, I was newly vegetarian,

427
00:26:31,959 --> 00:26:33,719
because I thought it would be healthier.

428
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,719
And I'm hearing all these different things

429
00:26:39,719 --> 00:26:40,920
that I've never heard before.

430
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:44,040
Well, I was loving it.

431
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:49,719
And within six months, I'd recover another 20%,

432
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,920
15 years after a stroke.

433
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,040
And I finally, finally got my life back.

434
00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,520
What I had spent over a decade searching for,

435
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:04,199
and I got it back this routine in my diet.

436
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,280
And within six months,

437
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:08,359
and I was so happy,

438
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,199
and so happy,

439
00:27:10,199 --> 00:27:11,560
but at the same time,

440
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,239
I was frustrated as hell,

441
00:27:13,239 --> 00:27:15,160
because I thought,

442
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,640
wow, did I have to suffer for 15 years?

443
00:27:20,199 --> 00:27:22,680
Did I have to lose my whole youth?

444
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:29,319
And was that Eric Edmeades,

445
00:27:29,319 --> 00:27:31,160
or was it somebody else that said, yeah?

446
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,400
Yeah, it's Eric Edmeades.

447
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,599
Yeah, because it's the way...

448
00:27:37,479 --> 00:27:40,119
Actually, years ago, I went to an event,

449
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,880
and it was Watch Your Quest.

450
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,959
And there was two speakers there.

451
00:27:43,959 --> 00:27:46,359
There was Vishen Lakhyani and him

452
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,920
that were just like incredible speakers.

453
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,319
And that inspired me

454
00:27:51,319 --> 00:27:53,000
to overcome my fear of speaking

455
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:53,800
and to get speaking.

456
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:55,959
But I actually had him on my show.

457
00:27:55,959 --> 00:27:57,079
I've had him on twice.

458
00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,079
One is speaking,

459
00:27:59,079 --> 00:27:59,959
and one, The Awakening,

460
00:27:59,959 --> 00:28:01,160
talking about nutrition.

461
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,839
But yeah, incredible.

462
00:28:02,839 --> 00:28:03,959
So I can understand.

463
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,680
Yeah, you found the right guy to get into this.

464
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:12,040
Yeah, and he's a serial entrepreneur.

465
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,000
That's one of his companies is nutrition,

466
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,520
and one is non-speaking.

467
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:18,680
And I've actually done programs

468
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:20,520
in both companies.

469
00:28:21,079 --> 00:28:23,079
And wow, excellent.

470
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:26,040
So I suppose let's get into it,

471
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,800
because then from that,

472
00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,439
then you kind of created a career on nutrition

473
00:28:30,439 --> 00:28:33,079
to kind of educate and help other people

474
00:28:33,079 --> 00:28:34,839
so they don't have to go through

475
00:28:34,839 --> 00:28:37,880
the 15 years of pain that you had to do.

476
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:39,800
Yeah, so Michael,

477
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,959
when I initially signed up

478
00:28:41,959 --> 00:28:44,199
to become a coach or to get certified,

479
00:28:44,199 --> 00:28:46,359
I didn't even really want to coach people.

480
00:28:46,359 --> 00:28:50,280
I was just so shocked at this sorcery,

481
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,239
because at the time,

482
00:28:51,239 --> 00:28:52,760
I thought it was magic,

483
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,640
that this sorcery was happening,

484
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,359
that I needed to see or understand

485
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:00,040
what was going on.

486
00:29:00,439 --> 00:29:02,680
And during the certification,

487
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,680
we had to have a pilot class.

488
00:29:05,959 --> 00:29:07,400
And it was during the pilot class

489
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,920
that I saw such miracles.

490
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,239
I thought what I lived was a miracle,

491
00:29:13,239 --> 00:29:16,839
but everybody's having miracles too.

492
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:20,040
CPAP machines no longer used,

493
00:29:20,359 --> 00:29:23,640
people releasing or losing

494
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,119
over 40 pounds of weight in three months.

495
00:29:29,079 --> 00:29:32,280
Multiple people and just all these things

496
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,479
like medications stopped

497
00:29:36,599 --> 00:29:38,920
and people are avoiding operations.

498
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:42,439
I even had a client who stopped using reading glasses.

499
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:44,439
I was like, what?

500
00:29:44,439 --> 00:29:45,959
I could not comprehend.

501
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:49,239
And now I know that,

502
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,479
yes, nutrition is the foundation of your whole life.

503
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,400
If you get that piece,

504
00:29:56,119 --> 00:29:57,079
if you get that piece,

505
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,800
solid, everything else can just layer on top.

506
00:30:02,599 --> 00:30:04,359
But if your nutrition is not good,

507
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,800
you're basically building a house of cards,

508
00:30:08,439 --> 00:30:10,280
because in an instant,

509
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:11,400
you're like wiped.

510
00:30:13,479 --> 00:30:16,920
And I suppose it must be so frustrating as well,

511
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,239
now that you have the knowledge

512
00:30:19,239 --> 00:30:22,359
and know how much damage it does,

513
00:30:22,359 --> 00:30:24,599
but to see how it's been infiltrated,

514
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:26,280
you know, you have the likes of Nestle,

515
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,040
Kraft, Procter & Gamble,

516
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,160
all these big corporations

517
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,800
that their main objective is profit

518
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,199
and they're putting in complete toxins.

519
00:30:36,199 --> 00:30:38,839
I mean, I've seen loads of videos on what they do

520
00:30:38,839 --> 00:30:41,719
and most people, they don't even realize it.

521
00:30:41,719 --> 00:30:45,079
I mean, I try to get as much as I can from a farmer,

522
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,199
but even times I'll go into a supermarket

523
00:30:48,199 --> 00:30:50,760
and it says, you know, it's like organic and everything

524
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,839
and it's not because I kind of realize,

525
00:30:52,839 --> 00:30:54,680
hey, this isn't right, I throw it outside

526
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:56,199
and six months later, it's still there

527
00:30:56,199 --> 00:30:58,119
and it's like organic doesn't go like that.

528
00:30:58,119 --> 00:30:59,640
If there's something from the farmer

529
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,319
that just say I don't get around to it,

530
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:02,599
say carrots if I don't eat,

531
00:31:02,599 --> 00:31:04,439
I throw it, they're disintegrating,

532
00:31:04,439 --> 00:31:06,599
they're breaking down or something's eating them.

533
00:31:06,599 --> 00:31:09,160
Like I do the ant test, I throw food outside,

534
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:10,439
like I get apples as well,

535
00:31:10,439 --> 00:31:12,040
sometimes from a million,

536
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:14,599
they're like apples I had when I was a youth,

537
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:16,760
whereas I get apples in the supermarket,

538
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,599
even if it's this organic and they're not,

539
00:31:18,599 --> 00:31:19,479
they're all toxic.

540
00:31:20,199 --> 00:31:23,239
It's like, how do people navigate that?

541
00:31:23,239 --> 00:31:27,319
Because like how I realized nutrition

542
00:31:27,319 --> 00:31:29,319
was so good as the Wheel of Fortune,

543
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:32,359
it's a book that it was studying the people

544
00:31:32,359 --> 00:31:34,839
in the Hunza, in the Himalayas,

545
00:31:34,839 --> 00:31:37,000
they were all kind of living to over a hundred

546
00:31:37,719 --> 00:31:39,560
and it was all down to nutrition,

547
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:40,520
it was all down to food

548
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,239
and they started giving the rats the same food

549
00:31:43,239 --> 00:31:45,000
because a rat of two years

550
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,319
is equivalent to a human of 50

551
00:31:47,959 --> 00:31:49,959
and everything that they were giving them,

552
00:31:49,959 --> 00:31:51,400
they had no reproductive problems,

553
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:52,839
no eczema, no nothing

554
00:31:53,479 --> 00:31:55,959
and then when they started giving them poor man's food,

555
00:31:55,959 --> 00:31:57,959
they started getting all these diseases

556
00:31:57,959 --> 00:31:59,319
and cancers and tumors

557
00:31:59,319 --> 00:32:02,920
and apparently they gave them the food of the UK

558
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,359
and they became cannibalistic

559
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:05,160
and you're like,

560
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,640
so when I saw that,

561
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,239
every time I see something,

562
00:32:09,239 --> 00:32:10,280
that's what I think about

563
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,599
because sometimes like say aspartame

564
00:32:12,599 --> 00:32:13,560
and different things,

565
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:14,439
they're saying,

566
00:32:14,439 --> 00:32:16,040
oh yeah, it causes cancers in rats

567
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,079
but it's okay for us

568
00:32:17,079 --> 00:32:17,800
and I'm like,

569
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,959
no, it's not okay for us.

570
00:32:19,959 --> 00:32:20,599
It's like,

571
00:32:20,599 --> 00:32:22,839
if they're able to test these things

572
00:32:22,839 --> 00:32:25,880
and they cause problems with rodents,

573
00:32:26,599 --> 00:32:28,119
they're going to cause problems with us

574
00:32:28,119 --> 00:32:29,160
but people just think.

575
00:32:31,479 --> 00:32:33,079
Yeah and that part of the problem

576
00:32:33,079 --> 00:32:37,000
is that we're so bombarded with marketing

577
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,959
and then on top of it,

578
00:32:37,959 --> 00:32:38,760
people are so,

579
00:32:40,599 --> 00:32:43,880
they lost touch with nature

580
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:45,560
and so nobody knows

581
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,839
where no other species has a problem

582
00:32:48,839 --> 00:32:50,280
knowing what to eat.

583
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,119
It's where they all know what they have to eat

584
00:32:52,119 --> 00:32:53,319
what they want to eat

585
00:32:54,199 --> 00:32:55,160
but humans,

586
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:55,959
we're so smart

587
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,479
that we create food

588
00:32:59,479 --> 00:33:00,760
instead of just eating

589
00:33:01,319 --> 00:33:03,319
what's available from nature

590
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:07,000
and we don't know what we're doing.

591
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:08,199
It's oftentimes,

592
00:33:08,199 --> 00:33:10,359
it's Franken food.

593
00:33:10,359 --> 00:33:11,319
Like you mentioned,

594
00:33:11,319 --> 00:33:12,839
I have an apple

595
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:14,359
that's been sitting on my counter

596
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:15,959
for over two months.

597
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:18,680
I'm just doing an experiment with it.

598
00:33:20,599 --> 00:33:21,160
I'm like,

599
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,280
I'm not eating this.

600
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:24,680
It's like,

601
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,000
what is it doing to our insides?

602
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,599
And like people joke about it.

603
00:33:28,599 --> 00:33:30,280
They show us a McDonald's

604
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:31,400
that's three years old

605
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:32,839
and it looks like a McDonald's

606
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:34,520
but people still,

607
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:35,160
they look at it,

608
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:36,599
they see this and they still go away.

609
00:33:36,599 --> 00:33:38,439
So like you're in the States

610
00:33:38,439 --> 00:33:39,560
and I know the States,

611
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:41,400
like they don't look after the people.

612
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,000
Like Europe is a bit protected

613
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,599
but I mean I see the supermarkets

614
00:33:44,599 --> 00:33:45,640
even in Poland,

615
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:46,280
it's all junk,

616
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:47,640
it's all processed food and everything.

617
00:33:48,199 --> 00:33:51,560
How do people try to navigate that

618
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:53,880
when 95% of the shelves

619
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,239
are full of toxins

620
00:33:55,239 --> 00:33:57,079
and not everyone has access to a farmer?

621
00:33:57,079 --> 00:33:58,119
That's why it kind of

622
00:33:58,119 --> 00:33:59,160
is the worst part of it.

623
00:34:00,599 --> 00:34:01,640
Yeah, so the best thing

624
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:03,400
would be know a farmer

625
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:05,640
but if that's not possible,

626
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:07,160
what I do is

627
00:34:07,719 --> 00:34:09,719
whenever I go to the supermarket,

628
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,239
I just shop the perimeters.

629
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:12,679
Just the outside,

630
00:34:12,679 --> 00:34:13,879
I don't even go in the middle

631
00:34:13,879 --> 00:34:16,679
because that's where all the landlines are.

632
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,719
Just get meat, fish, veggies

633
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:25,080
and you know,

634
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,600
now there's a new appeal

635
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,600
coding on Groot.

636
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,800
That's Bill Gates' company

637
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,919
that is manufacturing this

638
00:34:36,919 --> 00:34:39,320
and so I try not to go near this stuff.

639
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,280
And you do the best you can.

640
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:43,639
So you do the best you can.

641
00:34:45,159 --> 00:34:46,280
Guess what else can you do?

642
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:49,239
And like,

643
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,600
because I haven't kind of

644
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:51,800
done the welfare time,

645
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:53,959
I have seen people and pictures

646
00:34:53,959 --> 00:34:55,639
and like the fantastic results

647
00:34:55,639 --> 00:34:56,520
they're getting

648
00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:58,360
but are they kind of looking at

649
00:34:59,159 --> 00:35:00,520
kind of things like sugar

650
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:02,040
and other stuff that people,

651
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:02,840
you know,

652
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:04,199
because obviously the food permit

653
00:35:04,199 --> 00:35:05,159
has been inverted.

654
00:35:05,159 --> 00:35:05,719
Everything is,

655
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:07,639
what they tell you is good for you is not.

656
00:35:07,639 --> 00:35:08,439
It's the opposite.

657
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,399
So yeah,

658
00:35:11,399 --> 00:35:13,239
so that's one of the things

659
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,360
that we address is sugars.

660
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,199
But the interesting thing is that

661
00:35:18,199 --> 00:35:19,479
I thought before I did

662
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,399
the program on nutrition,

663
00:35:21,959 --> 00:35:23,560
oh, I'm uber healthy.

664
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,560
Before the stroke anyway.

665
00:35:26,199 --> 00:35:27,080
I'm uber healthy.

666
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:28,360
I'm a runner.

667
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:30,040
I follow the food permit.

668
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:31,399
I barely eat any sugar

669
00:35:31,959 --> 00:35:34,600
but I've seen a whole crop load of carbs

670
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,280
which turns to sugar

671
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,320
in your body, right?

672
00:35:40,199 --> 00:35:41,320
I think it's a case of

673
00:35:41,959 --> 00:35:43,399
you have to pay attention

674
00:35:43,959 --> 00:35:45,800
because when you realize,

675
00:35:46,439 --> 00:35:47,800
because I've noticed that

676
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,919
if I go to a restaurant or go,

677
00:35:50,919 --> 00:35:51,879
I know straight away

678
00:35:51,879 --> 00:35:53,320
which places are giving good food

679
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:53,800
and which aren't

680
00:35:54,840 --> 00:35:55,959
I think it's because I eat

681
00:35:55,959 --> 00:35:57,560
as much organic as possible.

682
00:35:58,199 --> 00:36:00,199
It reacts with me very fast.

683
00:36:00,199 --> 00:36:01,399
Whereas people that are eating

684
00:36:01,399 --> 00:36:02,520
crappy food all their life,

685
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:03,320
they have no reaction.

686
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:04,280
They just think it's normal.

687
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,360
So you just have to listen to your body.

688
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:07,000
When you see this

689
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:07,959
coming something up there,

690
00:36:07,959 --> 00:36:08,520
you go,

691
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:09,800
all right, what did I change?

692
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,000
Oh, I went to this place

693
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,840
and that's why.

694
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,520
Yes, I think you made a great statement

695
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:19,719
and listen to your body

696
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,320
is the way to go.

697
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:22,760
And with that said,

698
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,560
people that are not doing that

699
00:36:26,439 --> 00:36:31,719
or their signals aren't very strong at all.

700
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,320
So listen to your body

701
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,800
when your body is all blacked out.

702
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:37,159
It's probably not a great thing

703
00:36:37,159 --> 00:36:38,280
because your body can say

704
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:42,360
I think you should go eat some Doritos.

705
00:36:45,080 --> 00:36:46,600
But like even people,

706
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,120
like because in the awakening,

707
00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:49,080
I cover a lot of stuff,

708
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:50,360
but even the Pringles,

709
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:51,800
people think they're potatoes

710
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,800
that are just cut a certain way

711
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,239
and they just look nice.

712
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,159
And it's, you know what I do,

713
00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:58,280
like my child at one stage,

714
00:36:58,280 --> 00:36:59,080
my youngest child,

715
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:00,760
he was into hot dogs

716
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:01,320
and I was like,

717
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:03,560
and same with chicken nuggets,

718
00:37:03,560 --> 00:37:04,439
not McDonald's,

719
00:37:04,439 --> 00:37:05,479
but just chicken nuggets.

720
00:37:05,479 --> 00:37:06,600
It was like just, you know,

721
00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:07,879
some other people feed,

722
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:09,639
sometimes you kind of have

723
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:11,000
to navigate these things.

724
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,760
What I used to do is go in

725
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,120
and show him the video.

726
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:15,239
I go, look at this

727
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,159
and you just see the gunk

728
00:37:17,159 --> 00:37:19,959
that they're mashing exactly.

729
00:37:19,959 --> 00:37:22,520
And that's the face is the way my son is.

730
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,040
And then he doesn't want it no more.

731
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:24,840
Instead he's saying,

732
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,360
don't eat that, it's bad for you.

733
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,520
I think sometimes just look at the video

734
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,800
or even look at the animal.

735
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,800
Sometimes I'm not, I eat meat,

736
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,919
but I try to use a free range if you can.

737
00:37:34,919 --> 00:37:36,600
I know that's not possible either.

738
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,560
But like, you know,

739
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,360
like sometimes they're just like

740
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:41,560
the cows are just going around

741
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:43,399
in a concrete floor.

742
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:46,520
And they're injected

743
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,639
with all the different things,

744
00:37:47,639 --> 00:37:49,000
and if they're injected

745
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:49,719
with all this stuff

746
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:50,840
that's going into his mouth.

747
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,040
So you have to try to get,

748
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:55,479
you know, like I get chicken

749
00:37:55,479 --> 00:37:59,159
that's organic

750
00:37:59,159 --> 00:38:01,399
and without antibiotics

751
00:38:01,399 --> 00:38:02,439
and stuff like that.

752
00:38:02,439 --> 00:38:03,639
Whether it's true or not,

753
00:38:03,639 --> 00:38:04,120
I don't know,

754
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:04,760
because I know there's

755
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:05,800
even trickery with that.

756
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:06,679
Like I've heard

757
00:38:06,679 --> 00:38:08,439
that the chickens in the warehouse,

758
00:38:08,439 --> 00:38:09,399
they open the door.

759
00:38:09,399 --> 00:38:10,919
This is in some places.

760
00:38:10,919 --> 00:38:11,959
And if 10 minutes

761
00:38:11,959 --> 00:38:13,000
and if they go out,

762
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:13,879
that's up to them.

763
00:38:13,879 --> 00:38:15,239
And that's cast as organic

764
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:15,959
and you're going,

765
00:38:15,959 --> 00:38:16,679
huh?

766
00:38:16,679 --> 00:38:18,679
And that's cast as pasture-raised,

767
00:38:18,679 --> 00:38:20,040
not just organic,

768
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:21,080
pasture-raised,

769
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,439
which is the highest quality.

770
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:24,300
Yeah.

771
00:38:25,399 --> 00:38:26,600
Yeah, it's a landmine.

772
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:27,719
Everything's a landmine.

773
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,199
But I will say this,

774
00:38:30,919 --> 00:38:34,040
as far as cows and animals,

775
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,919
eating ruminant animals,

776
00:38:36,919 --> 00:38:41,080
such as cows or sheep or bison,

777
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,800
is one degree better,

778
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:44,919
a couple of degrees better

779
00:38:44,919 --> 00:38:47,159
than eating pork and chicken.

780
00:38:47,159 --> 00:38:49,080
Because pork and chicken,

781
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,600
they're monogastric.

782
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:51,479
They're like humans.

783
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:54,040
Their digestive system

784
00:38:54,040 --> 00:38:55,479
is similar to ours.

785
00:38:55,479 --> 00:38:56,520
Cows, on the other hand,

786
00:38:57,399 --> 00:38:58,520
they have four stomachs

787
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:03,080
and they can actually process glyphosate

788
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,639
in a way that it's not as harmful to us,

789
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:09,560
or it's unharmful.

790
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,919
So they're basically creating magic

791
00:39:12,919 --> 00:39:14,600
in their insides.

792
00:39:16,919 --> 00:39:19,080
So when you eat a ruminant animal,

793
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:20,280
it's not going to affect you

794
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,760
as much as a pork or chicken

795
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:27,560
or something that's monogastric.

796
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:29,639
If they're eating a poor diet,

797
00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:31,879
that can trickle to you.

798
00:39:32,439 --> 00:39:35,239
But if it's other ruminants,

799
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,719
it's not as pronounced.

800
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,800
So with clients that have kind of

801
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:45,959
gone through the change in nutrition,

802
00:39:45,959 --> 00:39:47,159
whether it's through yourself

803
00:39:47,159 --> 00:39:49,000
or through the team,

804
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:50,360
Erica's, I presume you're in a group

805
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:51,639
and you see other people,

806
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:53,000
what kind of things

807
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:55,639
have you seen people overcome?

808
00:39:55,639 --> 00:39:56,840
Because sometimes people,

809
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,080
they hear, oh, there's no cure for that.

810
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:00,199
And there's cures for everything.

811
00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:00,760
And it's just like,

812
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,320
because people have been conditioned

813
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:03,879
and brainwashed,

814
00:40:03,879 --> 00:40:04,919
they just go into the doctor,

815
00:40:04,919 --> 00:40:07,239
they trust the white coat

816
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,239
instead of kind of doing what you did

817
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:10,040
and just keep trying

818
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,719
and try to check different things.

819
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:12,840
What things have you seen

820
00:40:13,879 --> 00:40:14,919
that kind of shocked you?

821
00:40:15,639 --> 00:40:16,600
You mentioned the eyesight.

822
00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:17,320
I mean, I know that.

823
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,399
So most people think,

824
00:40:19,399 --> 00:40:20,840
no, you can't cure your eyesight.

825
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,199
But that was one that's good.

826
00:40:22,199 --> 00:40:23,560
But what other stuff have you seen?

827
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:26,199
I've seen so many things.

828
00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:29,320
I've seen type 2 diabetes reversed.

829
00:40:30,439 --> 00:40:31,399
Hundreds of times.

830
00:40:33,399 --> 00:40:34,040
And the one,

831
00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:35,800
the biggest thing that I saw

832
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,639
that shocked me the most

833
00:40:37,639 --> 00:40:41,239
was at a client that couldn't walk.

834
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:42,360
He was on crutches.

835
00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,159
He was scheduled for a sciatica operation.

836
00:40:45,159 --> 00:40:46,520
He was in so much pain.

837
00:40:47,639 --> 00:40:49,000
We've been working together

838
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:49,959
for, I think,

839
00:40:49,959 --> 00:40:51,159
something like seven weeks.

840
00:40:52,199 --> 00:40:54,199
He had no pain.

841
00:40:54,199 --> 00:40:55,479
He came up on a call once.

842
00:40:55,479 --> 00:40:56,360
It was a Zoom call.

843
00:40:57,159 --> 00:40:58,199
He was running in place.

844
00:40:58,199 --> 00:40:59,560
He's like, look where you're at.

845
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:01,560
And I'm like, oh my God.

846
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,399
He has sciatica release

847
00:41:03,399 --> 00:41:04,840
and he canceled his operation.

848
00:41:05,479 --> 00:41:08,280
I could not believe what I was seeing

849
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:10,439
because I thought to myself,

850
00:41:11,159 --> 00:41:13,959
this was my limited training at the time.

851
00:41:14,919 --> 00:41:17,879
I thought, what does sciatica have to do with food?

852
00:41:18,919 --> 00:41:20,760
It's got everything to do with food.

853
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:23,479
Now I know that.

854
00:41:23,479 --> 00:41:27,159
Back then I was like, not comprehending.

855
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,919
I was in my early twenties

856
00:41:30,919 --> 00:41:32,520
and I had sciatica.

857
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:33,959
I tried everything.

858
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,600
And in the end, I got an epidural,

859
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:38,040
which was strange

860
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,840
because you're awake when they give it to you.

861
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,199
And I remember waking up

862
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:43,959
and what they do is they put you to sleep

863
00:41:43,959 --> 00:41:45,719
then they manipulate you.

864
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,199
And I remember trying to get up

865
00:41:48,199 --> 00:41:50,120
and I was paralyzed from the chest on.

866
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:51,320
And I was so frightened.

867
00:41:51,879 --> 00:41:54,520
And I had pains going down my other leg.

868
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:55,879
In the end, I got the operation

869
00:41:55,879 --> 00:41:57,639
because I believed their lies,

870
00:41:57,639 --> 00:41:58,919
thinking I'd be okay.

871
00:41:58,919 --> 00:41:59,719
And I wasn't.

872
00:41:59,719 --> 00:42:02,439
And it was a book, Healing Back Pain

873
00:42:02,439 --> 00:42:04,520
by Dr. John Cerneau.

874
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,360
I think it's stress related as well.

875
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,919
But stress comes from eating the wrong food as well.

876
00:42:08,919 --> 00:42:10,919
So there's a combination of things there.

877
00:42:10,919 --> 00:42:12,840
But most doctors, they all does know.

878
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,760
I've come across so many people

879
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,560
and I didn't know about the nutrition side of things.

880
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,719
I always thought it was kind of stress related.

881
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,479
I recommended that book to loads of people

882
00:42:21,479 --> 00:42:23,159
because some people get it down the arm as well.

883
00:42:23,159 --> 00:42:24,600
It's like a trap from the next.

884
00:42:25,159 --> 00:42:27,080
And everybody's cured from it.

885
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:28,439
And it's like, they're just,

886
00:42:28,439 --> 00:42:29,639
everything is about the money.

887
00:42:29,639 --> 00:42:31,320
You know, let's get them chopped up.

888
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:31,820
Let's.

889
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:34,520
Yeah.

890
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:36,600
And so when you're eating the right foods

891
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:38,600
or the foods that nourish your body,

892
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:41,080
you can handle stress so much better.

893
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:44,360
So even if you're stressed in the world,

894
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,959
maybe your job is stressful,

895
00:42:45,959 --> 00:42:48,439
you can handle that much differently.

896
00:42:49,560 --> 00:42:51,000
Just by changing what you eat.

897
00:42:51,959 --> 00:42:53,639
So I'm just curious, because

898
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:56,040
every time you watch something,

899
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:58,040
you know, they tell you margarine is safe

900
00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:58,919
and it's butter.

901
00:42:58,919 --> 00:43:00,600
I mean, butter is obviously.

902
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,280
But regarding eating,

903
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,520
because, you know, sometimes they'll say

904
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:07,080
eat a lot of meals,

905
00:43:07,879 --> 00:43:09,879
smaller meals during the day,

906
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:11,479
or then just eat one meal.

907
00:43:11,479 --> 00:43:12,280
And there's just,

908
00:43:13,479 --> 00:43:14,919
there's so many, there's the keto,

909
00:43:14,919 --> 00:43:17,159
there's hundreds of different things out there.

910
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:19,639
So people then, they just get bamboozled

911
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:21,000
and they try one thing

912
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:22,360
and then they think that's not working.

913
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,719
They try the next.

914
00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:25,000
From what you're doing,

915
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,600
because I know that Eric and,

916
00:43:26,600 --> 00:43:28,120
you know, what he's created,

917
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:31,320
he's getting very good results.

918
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,320
And I have seen pictures of people I know

919
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,239
that lost a load of weight and everything.

920
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:36,600
What way is this?

921
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,199
Is it kind of smaller meals

922
00:43:38,199 --> 00:43:40,600
or what's the kind of way that you recommend?

923
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,719
Yeah, so I want to say that about that

924
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,879
or about people saying one meal,

925
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:48,040
50 meals, whatever.

926
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,239
This is done purposely

927
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:53,399
to create cognitive dissonance.

928
00:43:53,399 --> 00:43:56,280
So people end up just trying different things

929
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,040
and there's a market for everything.

930
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,360
They purposely create confusion.

931
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,239
And I think that also happens with everything else.

932
00:44:03,239 --> 00:44:05,639
It's like information overload, right?

933
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,280
And they do that on purpose.

934
00:44:08,919 --> 00:44:11,879
But I think it's good to give your stomach a break

935
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,719
and to have less meals in one day.

936
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,879
So I do usually two meals

937
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,360
and I don't have words in myself to do two meals.

938
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,639
I just, I'm not hungry.

939
00:44:24,679 --> 00:44:27,239
But that's through all the things I learned

940
00:44:27,239 --> 00:44:29,639
and the way I nourish my body,

941
00:44:29,639 --> 00:44:30,679
where that's possible.

942
00:44:31,479 --> 00:44:33,239
Some people eat once a day

943
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:34,600
and I do that sometimes.

944
00:44:35,399 --> 00:44:36,120
Not on purpose.

945
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:37,320
I just can't eat.

946
00:44:39,479 --> 00:44:41,639
But less meals is better.

947
00:44:41,639 --> 00:44:43,959
You're giving your stomach a chance to recuperate.

948
00:44:44,919 --> 00:44:46,360
And the same way I eat twice.

949
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,840
Twice when I do that at the breakfast.

950
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,000
Between 10 and 12.

951
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,959
And then I eat around 6 or 7 is when I have.

952
00:44:53,959 --> 00:44:55,159
And that's it then.

953
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:57,399
So my body, yeah.

954
00:44:57,399 --> 00:44:59,080
And I've heard of,

955
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:00,360
I don't know, did I touch this,

956
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,919
but I've also heard of the blood type

957
00:45:02,919 --> 00:45:04,760
that the foods you should be eating

958
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:06,439
are related to your blood type.

959
00:45:06,439 --> 00:45:07,239
Do they look at that

960
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,919
or is that more bologna as well?

961
00:45:08,919 --> 00:45:14,120
There's so much I'm asking because

962
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:18,280
it's a, it's very clever marketing to say,

963
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,679
hey, I have the Maria diet.

964
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:22,840
You should follow the Maria diet.

965
00:45:23,959 --> 00:45:26,760
Everybody thinks, oh diet's special for me.

966
00:45:27,879 --> 00:45:29,000
I'll just put it this way.

967
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:34,199
Every species has a specific diet.

968
00:45:34,199 --> 00:45:36,840
So elephants in India

969
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:41,000
are kind of even the same thing as elephants in Africa.

970
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:41,719
Right?

971
00:45:41,719 --> 00:45:42,679
So it doesn't matter.

972
00:45:42,679 --> 00:45:45,719
There's certain nutritional requirements

973
00:45:45,719 --> 00:45:48,919
that must be met regardless of your blood type.

974
00:45:48,919 --> 00:45:51,959
And I don't think thousands of years ago

975
00:45:51,959 --> 00:45:53,639
people even knew their blood types.

976
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:56,600
They didn't even know there was different blood types.

977
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,639
So yeah, I think that's worked.

978
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:06,520
So the book that you've written,

979
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,199
I know it was a few years ago,

980
00:46:08,199 --> 00:46:10,520
but it's, I love your writing style

981
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,959
because yeah, there's some things,

982
00:46:11,959 --> 00:46:13,479
you know that some of these kind of

983
00:46:13,479 --> 00:46:14,919
use the ghostwriter or something like that,

984
00:46:14,919 --> 00:46:16,520
but you can see that it's from the art

985
00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,280
and it's kind of taking you through the journeys.

986
00:46:18,280 --> 00:46:21,560
You may let people know what's the name of it

987
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:23,320
and kind of what you're covering in it.

988
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:27,560
So basically I wrote the book for me.

989
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:30,360
I didn't even really just wanting to publish it.

990
00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,800
I wrote it something as cathartic

991
00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,800
and it was totally cathartic.

992
00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:39,239
And I detailed kind of my journey

993
00:46:39,879 --> 00:46:41,159
and the lessons I learned.

994
00:46:41,959 --> 00:46:43,719
And I wrote this all before

995
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:48,040
I even changed my nutrition services pretty early on.

996
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:53,479
Probably something like 10 years after the stroke

997
00:46:53,479 --> 00:46:54,280
or a little less.

998
00:46:57,159 --> 00:46:58,760
And it was just a way for me to like

999
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:00,760
get it out of myself.

1000
00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,360
And then what was interesting is

1001
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:07,000
as people are reading it,

1002
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:08,360
they would get back to me and say,

1003
00:47:08,919 --> 00:47:11,000
I really saw myself in that.

1004
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,560
And I was like, that's incredible

1005
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,239
because my journey is very unique.

1006
00:47:17,959 --> 00:47:19,239
I don't think it's very common,

1007
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,879
but people really resonated with what I was writing.

1008
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:27,479
But anyway, about the book,

1009
00:47:27,479 --> 00:47:31,159
it's currently I'm going to work on the second edition.

1010
00:47:31,159 --> 00:47:34,199
The first is not available anywhere online.

1011
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:36,919
It's only available through me.

1012
00:47:36,919 --> 00:47:40,840
So if anybody wants it, I'm happy to allow them one.

1013
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,159
When you go through this,

1014
00:47:49,159 --> 00:47:50,679
then you got into the speaking

1015
00:47:50,679 --> 00:47:53,000
and you might just kind of like,

1016
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,639
because when you went through your whole journey,

1017
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,120
obviously I'd say speaking on stage

1018
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:03,879
would have been the farthest thing from your mind.

1019
00:48:04,439 --> 00:48:06,120
How did that kind of transform?

1020
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:13,080
So eventually when I got over myself,

1021
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,280
which took a long time,

1022
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:17,399
which is normal, I also think,

1023
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,879
I thought, wow, this is the response

1024
00:48:21,879 --> 00:48:23,239
that I'm getting from the book.

1025
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,239
Maybe I should, or maybe it would be beneficial

1026
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:32,520
for others for me to share what I've gone through, right?

1027
00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:37,560
And I went to a couple of speaking courses with Eric

1028
00:48:38,199 --> 00:48:41,080
when I was introduced to their nutrition

1029
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,159
and it was such an amazing course.

1030
00:48:48,679 --> 00:48:49,959
Basically, I just say this,

1031
00:48:49,959 --> 00:48:52,520
and this is going to open a whole other conversation,

1032
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:54,040
but I'll just say this.

1033
00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:58,679
I was, I was not myself.

1034
00:48:58,679 --> 00:49:01,639
I was wearing a mask throughout my whole

1035
00:49:02,760 --> 00:49:04,040
life, basically.

1036
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:08,840
Wearing masks of what I thought others wanted for me.

1037
00:49:09,479 --> 00:49:13,719
And in this course, it was a lot of like

1038
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,159
the shedding of the masks

1039
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,840
or the beginning of the shedding of the masks

1040
00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:21,239
and I had such a release.

1041
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:29,879
And things began to definitely change for me in that regard.

1042
00:49:29,879 --> 00:49:33,560
And I feel like now I can be more me.

1043
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:35,239
I can be more authentic.

1044
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:41,080
Just like from reading the book,

1045
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:43,080
you know, the things that were happening,

1046
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,399
Germany and stuff, it's like synchronicity.

1047
00:49:45,399 --> 00:49:46,919
Things just kind of came together.

1048
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:51,159
And have you tapped into that?

1049
00:49:51,159 --> 00:49:53,000
Have you kind of, because obviously,

1050
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,399
you know, you got shook during your life.

1051
00:49:55,399 --> 00:49:57,399
You got, you know, something happened

1052
00:49:57,399 --> 00:49:59,639
that there's no way you could have foreseen.

1053
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:02,040
But now that you've got your life back,

1054
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:03,479
have you managed to figure out that,

1055
00:50:03,479 --> 00:50:05,080
how you get things to connect again?

1056
00:50:05,080 --> 00:50:06,679
And I don't know, is it intuition

1057
00:50:06,679 --> 00:50:09,239
or what's that magic sauce of where things

1058
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:11,479
kind of just line up and connect?

1059
00:50:13,959 --> 00:50:16,840
I'm on a journey now of breath work.

1060
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:19,800
And it's not really breath work

1061
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,520
as we know about breath work.

1062
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,760
It's more about breathing the way

1063
00:50:25,399 --> 00:50:28,040
that is most beneficial to your body.

1064
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,760
And I find that that's given me

1065
00:50:31,399 --> 00:50:35,959
the biggest shifts or things are happening more.

1066
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,560
They're more in flow.

1067
00:50:39,399 --> 00:50:40,840
Just like when I went to Germany

1068
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:43,399
and everything happened very synchronistically.

1069
00:50:43,959 --> 00:50:45,399
But if you're like now,

1070
00:50:45,399 --> 00:50:47,239
things are really, really in flow.

1071
00:50:51,959 --> 00:50:54,520
So, I mean, you've got the,

1072
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,639
so your services now that you're offering

1073
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,840
is like, say, the welfare kind of coaching models.

1074
00:51:01,479 --> 00:51:04,439
Is that your main business is the coaching?

1075
00:51:04,439 --> 00:51:07,560
Yes, that's our main business right now.

1076
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:12,679
I think eventually I'm going to use also breath work

1077
00:51:12,679 --> 00:51:14,520
or I call it breath work

1078
00:51:14,520 --> 00:51:16,600
because there's no other way to call it,

1079
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,919
but conscious breathing.

1080
00:51:18,919 --> 00:51:20,919
And I'm going to also work with that.

1081
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,879
And, well, I could talk about this for ages.

1082
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,639
There's somebody I follow since last year

1083
00:51:32,199 --> 00:51:35,560
and that's, and I've seen the biggest shifts

1084
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:37,719
in my life through the work we're doing.

1085
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:41,000
And it's something so,

1086
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:44,280
I'll just say it this way.

1087
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:46,760
We're under spells,

1088
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,639
just like Snow White and Disney.

1089
00:51:51,639 --> 00:51:54,520
We're under spells from our youth.

1090
00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:58,679
And this is breaking this spell

1091
00:51:58,679 --> 00:52:03,320
can shift your experience so quickly,

1092
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,159
just in the snap of fingers.

1093
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:12,840
I think switch to nutrition and the breath work

1094
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:14,040
because I have seen,

1095
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,760
I mean, I've been at a lot of events

1096
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:18,120
with different facilitators

1097
00:52:18,679 --> 00:52:21,719
and got incredible feelings from breath work

1098
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,159
and even practice it myself.

1099
00:52:23,399 --> 00:52:25,000
I think time slows down,

1100
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,840
but I think you can really heal yourself

1101
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:27,959
through breath work as well

1102
00:52:27,959 --> 00:52:29,399
because I have seen people,

1103
00:52:29,399 --> 00:52:30,439
the trauma comes up

1104
00:52:30,439 --> 00:52:33,000
and I don't even think you have to go

1105
00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,520
to heavy breath work

1106
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:35,800
because sometimes people are like,

1107
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:37,239
it's like hyperventilating.

1108
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:38,919
But I've had guests on as well

1109
00:52:38,919 --> 00:52:40,520
that just talk about doing it gently,

1110
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,120
but be conscious breathing

1111
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:43,159
and that's your deep breathing

1112
00:52:43,159 --> 00:52:44,439
instead of just shallow.

1113
00:52:44,439 --> 00:52:46,199
As they always say, even people,

1114
00:52:46,199 --> 00:52:50,120
they think that smoking keeps them stress free.

1115
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,360
And I said, do you ever just pretend

1116
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:53,320
you have a cigarette and go?

1117
00:52:54,439 --> 00:52:55,479
Yeah, they don't.

1118
00:52:55,479 --> 00:52:57,159
And it's so they're actually,

1119
00:52:57,159 --> 00:52:58,760
that's what's helping them is the breath work.

1120
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:00,280
Unfortunately, you know,

1121
00:53:00,280 --> 00:53:01,879
if it was like just maybe tobacco

1122
00:53:01,879 --> 00:53:02,600
wouldn't be too bad,

1123
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,199
but there's like thousands of chemicals

1124
00:53:04,199 --> 00:53:05,320
that's going into their body

1125
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:06,679
and that's why it's not so great.

1126
00:53:06,679 --> 00:53:08,199
But if they just even realize

1127
00:53:08,199 --> 00:53:10,280
it's the breath work that's actually getting them.

1128
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,879
So I think what you're doing

1129
00:53:11,879 --> 00:53:14,679
is combining the nutrition and the breath work.

1130
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,199
You can, I think,

1131
00:53:18,199 --> 00:53:20,520
heal a load of wounds with both of them.

1132
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:24,120
Yeah, I think it healed probably most wounds.

1133
00:53:27,959 --> 00:53:30,199
And of course, I'm happy I found this,

1134
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:31,800
but it doesn't surprise me

1135
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:36,760
because I'm somebody who totally lost everything I've lost.

1136
00:53:36,760 --> 00:53:41,719
And so the only way to go from there is straight up.

1137
00:53:45,479 --> 00:53:46,520
I really enjoyed your story.

1138
00:53:46,520 --> 00:53:48,120
Is there anything else that we haven't covered

1139
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:49,159
that you'd like to mention?

1140
00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:54,439
I just briefly to,

1141
00:53:55,000 --> 00:53:57,959
and I'm sure most people that are listening to you

1142
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,600
probably know or are aware of this already,

1143
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,679
but meat is not the devil that we've been told it is.

1144
00:54:05,479 --> 00:54:09,080
Meat is actually the most nutrient dense food on the planet.

1145
00:54:11,159 --> 00:54:13,320
So there's no need to be afraid of meat.

1146
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,159
And it doesn't cause heart disease.

1147
00:54:17,159 --> 00:54:17,659
It doesn't.

1148
00:54:17,979 --> 00:54:21,020
What I would say is one caveat is

1149
00:54:21,979 --> 00:54:23,419
when you're eating meat,

1150
00:54:24,540 --> 00:54:26,060
I wouldn't mix it with carbs.

1151
00:54:26,060 --> 00:54:26,560
I would eat,

1152
00:54:28,620 --> 00:54:30,459
because that impedes your digestion.

1153
00:54:30,459 --> 00:54:32,139
That's part of the problem.

1154
00:54:34,379 --> 00:54:37,899
Because I eat, like I love duck and red meat and steaks

1155
00:54:37,899 --> 00:54:38,620
and stuff like that.

1156
00:54:38,620 --> 00:54:40,219
And it works for me.

1157
00:54:40,219 --> 00:54:41,020
I know how I feel.

1158
00:54:41,020 --> 00:54:42,139
I feel good from it.

1159
00:54:42,139 --> 00:54:45,260
But I know a few people that were vegetarian

1160
00:54:45,260 --> 00:54:46,540
and they got very ill

1161
00:54:46,540 --> 00:54:47,659
and they switched back

1162
00:54:47,659 --> 00:54:49,179
and they were grand again.

1163
00:54:49,179 --> 00:54:52,860
So I know a lot of people like that.

1164
00:54:52,860 --> 00:54:54,300
I mean, sometimes it works for people.

1165
00:54:54,300 --> 00:54:56,060
You see people, you kind of have to,

1166
00:54:56,060 --> 00:54:57,179
like we said earlier,

1167
00:54:57,179 --> 00:54:58,780
you know, feel in touch with yourself,

1168
00:54:58,780 --> 00:54:59,820
how it reacts.

1169
00:54:59,820 --> 00:55:00,860
But the same thing,

1170
00:55:00,860 --> 00:55:02,860
they push it and they want you to eat bugs

1171
00:55:02,860 --> 00:55:03,580
and stuff like that,

1172
00:55:03,580 --> 00:55:04,939
saying that that's healthier

1173
00:55:04,939 --> 00:55:06,139
and that's all parasites.

1174
00:55:06,139 --> 00:55:07,260
So remember about that.

1175
00:55:07,979 --> 00:55:09,659
We have to stay away from the parasites.

1176
00:55:10,540 --> 00:55:12,459
Yeah, and so you can make it work.

1177
00:55:12,459 --> 00:55:14,699
You can make vegetarianism work,

1178
00:55:14,699 --> 00:55:15,979
but it's very hard

1179
00:55:15,979 --> 00:55:19,340
and you have to supplement very carefully.

1180
00:55:19,340 --> 00:55:21,100
And this, I suppose it's worth

1181
00:55:21,100 --> 00:55:22,060
just mentioning that

1182
00:55:23,179 --> 00:55:24,780
they say you have to supplement it,

1183
00:55:24,780 --> 00:55:26,620
but that's even the pills

1184
00:55:26,620 --> 00:55:27,820
have been infiltrated

1185
00:55:27,820 --> 00:55:30,060
and it's very hard to get good pills as well.

1186
00:55:30,060 --> 00:55:31,100
So sometimes people,

1187
00:55:31,100 --> 00:55:32,060
they're taking the pill

1188
00:55:32,060 --> 00:55:33,659
and it's actually doing more damage.

1189
00:55:33,659 --> 00:55:35,739
And even with the soy and everything,

1190
00:55:35,739 --> 00:55:36,939
like that's all estrogen.

1191
00:55:36,939 --> 00:55:38,860
So sometimes people are giving their kids,

1192
00:55:38,860 --> 00:55:41,179
you know, these soy foods and stuff like that.

1193
00:55:41,179 --> 00:55:41,659
And it's like,

1194
00:55:42,780 --> 00:55:44,459
like I use an app

1195
00:55:44,459 --> 00:55:46,219
and the app tells me all the badness

1196
00:55:46,219 --> 00:55:47,020
that's in stuff.

1197
00:55:47,020 --> 00:55:48,780
And, you know, I have warnings of things

1198
00:55:48,780 --> 00:55:49,899
I want to stay away from,

1199
00:55:50,459 --> 00:55:52,699
like aspartame, MSG and things like that.

1200
00:55:53,500 --> 00:55:56,219
And it's a case of just slowly doing it

1201
00:55:56,219 --> 00:56:00,780
because when you don't overwhelm yourself,

1202
00:56:00,780 --> 00:56:03,020
you're more inclined to actually complete it.

1203
00:56:03,020 --> 00:56:03,979
And then you know that,

1204
00:56:03,979 --> 00:56:05,580
okay, next week I'm living healthier

1205
00:56:05,580 --> 00:56:06,780
than I was last week.

1206
00:56:06,780 --> 00:56:07,899
And by the end of the year,

1207
00:56:07,899 --> 00:56:10,139
so we're coming into the new year soon.

1208
00:56:10,139 --> 00:56:11,260
It's like, yeah,

1209
00:56:11,260 --> 00:56:13,100
make this a pet project for the whole house.

1210
00:56:13,100 --> 00:56:13,979
You know, it's like, all right,

1211
00:56:13,979 --> 00:56:15,100
let's get the right toothpaste.

1212
00:56:15,100 --> 00:56:17,179
Let's get the right beef.

1213
00:56:17,179 --> 00:56:19,419
Let's just source different things.

1214
00:56:19,419 --> 00:56:21,100
And when you do it slowly,

1215
00:56:21,979 --> 00:56:23,899
I think it makes a difference.

1216
00:56:23,899 --> 00:56:26,699
But look, Maria, I love what you're doing.

1217
00:56:26,699 --> 00:56:28,139
You know, I think you're on the right track

1218
00:56:28,139 --> 00:56:30,780
with incorporating the breathwork into it

1219
00:56:30,780 --> 00:56:33,340
just because what I've experienced and seen.

1220
00:56:33,340 --> 00:56:35,899
So listen, totally enjoyed it.

1221
00:56:35,899 --> 00:56:37,419
You might let the listeners know

1222
00:56:37,419 --> 00:56:38,379
where they can find you.

1223
00:56:39,979 --> 00:56:42,379
The best place to find me is on my website,

1224
00:56:42,939 --> 00:56:46,459
which is genuinelymaria.com.

1225
00:56:46,459 --> 00:56:49,739
And you can book a complimentary discovery call

1226
00:56:49,739 --> 00:56:50,300
if you like.

1227
00:56:51,659 --> 00:56:53,500
I'm also on social media,

1228
00:56:53,500 --> 00:56:55,500
but I don't add there very often

1229
00:56:55,500 --> 00:56:57,899
because I have a bit of an allergy to it.

1230
00:56:57,899 --> 00:57:00,780
So please go to my website.

1231
00:57:00,780 --> 00:57:03,979
No, I'll make sure I put all the links

1232
00:57:03,979 --> 00:57:06,139
to the audio and the video.

1233
00:57:06,139 --> 00:57:07,419
And just for those that are watching,

1234
00:57:07,419 --> 00:57:08,860
I bet you YouTube and Rumble,

1235
00:57:09,659 --> 00:57:10,860
you can see our website

1236
00:57:11,340 --> 00:57:12,219
after her name.

1237
00:57:12,219 --> 00:57:12,780
So you can do it,

1238
00:57:12,780 --> 00:57:15,100
but I make sure I put the links to the show.

1239
00:57:15,100 --> 00:57:16,139
Thank you very much, Maria.

1240
00:57:16,139 --> 00:57:18,459
This is fun. Thank you.

1241
00:57:18,459 --> 00:57:19,100
No problem.

1242
00:57:19,100 --> 00:57:20,860
So that's all for the speaking podcast.

1243
00:57:20,860 --> 00:57:22,060
You can find all our episodes

1244
00:57:22,060 --> 00:57:23,659
on speakingpodcast.com.

1245
00:57:23,659 --> 00:57:24,939
Find everything about me,

1246
00:57:24,939 --> 00:57:25,979
scan the QR code,

1247
00:57:25,979 --> 00:57:27,419
go to rycon.com.

1248
00:57:27,419 --> 00:57:28,459
As mentioned at the start,

1249
00:57:28,459 --> 00:57:30,060
I have two school groups,

1250
00:57:30,060 --> 00:57:31,179
one on podcasting,

1251
00:57:31,179 --> 00:57:32,540
one on brain fitness.

1252
00:57:32,540 --> 00:57:34,300
And if you're looking for virtual assistance,

1253
00:57:34,300 --> 00:57:35,739
go to va.world.

1254
00:57:35,739 --> 00:57:36,699
Make sure to give us a thumbs up,

1255
00:57:36,699 --> 00:57:37,500
five star rating,

1256
00:57:37,500 --> 00:57:38,620
share with your friends,

1257
00:57:38,620 --> 00:57:40,139
especially just because

1258
00:57:40,219 --> 00:57:41,979
nutrition is very important,

1259
00:57:41,979 --> 00:57:43,340
as you have heard today.

1260
00:57:43,340 --> 00:57:44,219
Until next week.

1261
00:57:44,219 --> 00:57:45,100
Take care.
