Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
What's up, its way up with Angela. Yee oh, look
at who's here. My sister Frank coach Jesse is here
with me today. And you know, July is five Words
Awareness month, and this year it got even more real.
And in an exclusive new interview with NBC's Zinco smoa
am I saying her name right, m zinklay okay zinc
La sma Venus Williams opened up for the first time

(00:25):
about her thirty year painful battle with fibroids.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
That's something we've been talking about NonStop.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
She said she never had enough energy most times to
play a real match the way that she wanted to,
and doctors did not even connect that with the condition,
and so they also downplayed the concerns that she had.

Speaker 2 (00:43):
That happens a lot, and she.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Told self, I remember playing my first French Open at
the time, I was sixteen. Before the second round, I
was waiting for my match and I was just hugging
the toilet bowl. I was losing my lunch over period pains,
that awful pain. I remember times like you know, being
in the car just in pain. And I've had friends
that are like, I can't even go to work today.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I can't do anything today. I got to be home.
I got my period.

Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
First of all, shout out to you, Venus Williams. Thank
you for sharing your story, because she's like the poster
child for all the women we deal with every day
at the Detox now and women that are in our
lives that we know the painful periods where she's actually
having vomiting. Right, she is a high performer. You would
think she gets the best care. She is hugging the

(01:28):
toilet waiting for her match, doesn't have enough energy.

Speaker 3 (01:31):
First of all, how about what if she had all
the energy, what would she.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Have done to the tennis? I know, I imagine how
that affected her game.

Speaker 4 (01:37):
She said it affected her career, you know, and playing
tennis is so high intensity, so sometimes I can't even
walk up the steps, So imagine you got to play tennis. No,
And you know, so we know, we talk about fibrids
here all the time, and we know the stats. It's
fivebards effect forty to eighty percent of all women, and
then when it comes to black women it's two to
three times, which you know is up to ninety percent

(01:58):
by age fifty. That is a huge, huge contingent of
people being affected by fibroids. And you know, she revealed
in her interview within Clay that even before winning her
six doubles match with Serena at Wimbledon in twenty sixteen,
she says, she was laying on the floor in the
locker room like.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
It's going to pass. It's going to pass.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
And thank god, Serena, she says, got the doctor and
she was able to get up and eat and start playing.
So not just that, she says, she just like so
many women I've spoken to in coaching sessions and consultations,
had to carry extra paths clothes, you know, due to
heavy periods. And the crazy thing is she went undiagnosed
for decades until twenty sixteen, and the only treatment option

(02:43):
we heard, which we already know, was a hysterectomy. Right,
So again I say she's the poster child because so
many women, I want you to know, you are not crazy. Okay,
you are not crazy. You are being seen and you
are being heard, and we know that what you are
going through is real, and more than ever, we want

(03:04):
you to know that you are not alone and you
have options.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Right, And she did turn down that hysterectomy yes, but
she did then take prescription painkillers.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yep, that's how she managed it because she didn't want
to lose that she didn't want to go through that
invasive surgery that was actually a long you know, a
long term, irreversible situation where you no longer can have kids.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
It just changes you.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
Right, So now we know more than ever here we
have with everything going on, we'd have changes to health
care access as well as you know, the health inequities
that we know we already face because of what we
talked about, and more than ever, we're talking about the
fact that it is time for us to use prevention,

(03:47):
not just as a you know what, that's a nice
to do, but it really is a survival mode now, right,
we have to know that, more than ever, we have
power to do things to live a life free of
preventable health challenges such as.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
Fibroids and more.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
And women, we want to put the power back in
your hands.

Speaker 2 (04:06):
And to your point, Coach Jesse, you keep on being
like angel did you go so, yeah, girl's ANGELA.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Stopm putting it off because I've been so busy, I've
been traveling, I'm you know, leaving again. But you're like Angela,
You're right, I have to just schedule the date. But
that's what we do, need like our friends to check
up on us. All it's accountable. She's like, I don't
mean to keep bothering you about this, but you're right there, so.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
Like I'm stalking her.

Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, it's fine, stalk me.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
But you know, all of these reasons of what were
we've been discussing is why we have this detax lifestyle
and the Detax Now lifestyle and of course, Coach Jesse,
because this is a system that you developed, and you know,
I've been there with you from day one, yes.

Speaker 3 (04:48):
Day literal one.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, literally the inception of all of this. But this
is the blueprint for better health and vibrate freedom. And
this is especially for black women. I know women get fibrds,
but Black women we're so disproportionate affected.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
Yeah, and we get the symptoms worse more number Again,
this is fueled by key things. And you know when
we talk about the one thing that I felt and
I was talking to Congress from any Evet Clark last night,
I said, the status quote in all these interviews is
we don't know, you know why we're going through this.
We're going through this, and I'm glad that we're ringing
the alarm that we're going through this. But how about

(05:22):
we now also spotlight the multi factors that we know
impact fibroids, right, such as the vitamin D deficiency, which
we know there's so many studies around, and we break
it down.

Speaker 3 (05:34):
You could look at the studies in my book and.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Fibroids Manual and guide the hormonone balance that we know
is connected to it, that is affected by hormone disruptors
and the environment and the products and the foods, right,
and then the chronic inflammation. And guess what, Black women
are disproportionately affected by those things, and that's why we
experience fibroids differently.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Right man, Listen, I do want to keep this moving
because you know, we do have incredible results and I'm
always excited when I see people's testimonials.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
It means a lot to me and I know it
means a lot to them.

Speaker 4 (06:05):
So the foundation of it is the lifestyle, right, So
let's talk about the lifestyle real quick, because I'm so
excited about bringing these testimonies on. So the lifestyle we
talk about is detox, balance and prevent Okay, So that's
about detoxing is literally you talk about targeted fasting, right,
So whether it's just determining if it's water fast fruit

(06:27):
fast for you, or if it's intermittent fasting as a lifestyle,
but resetting your body, that's it resetting your body through
targeted fasting, right. And then once you now have reset
your body with the proper detox, which we're about to
do our next challenge next week, y'all. So if you're
not ready, get your detox kit. Let's get it.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
We have so many amazing testimonies.

Speaker 4 (06:47):
Okay, sidebar, she couldn't come, but there was a sister
who just lost thirty four pounds. She did it for
ten days, she lost thirty four pounds and better yet,
she regulated her blood pressure, which she was in hospital
three times because of nearly fatal blood pressure. Okay, so
you know that makes me excited all right. Anyway, So
the second part in the lifestyle is balance. So you

(07:09):
have to now bring that all together. Once you've cleared
your body, you're balancing your hormones using targeted supplements and
lifestyles like our balancer and eliminator as well as D
three to shrink fibroids help your body, regulate your cycles,
help reduce symptoms naturally. Okay, Because it's all about what
you have the power to do, and if you need surgery,
incorporating that as well as the lifestyle, because it's not

(07:32):
either or right.

Speaker 2 (07:33):
You can do both. You can supplement both.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
Right and then once you have balanced your life, it's
about prevention, cultivating a lifestyle, a proactive lifestyle of wellness.
So we have our multivitamin and more to help people
with that. So the two amazing We have amazing, amazing
testimonies of sisters who you know. For me, it's a privilege.
This is I almost cried when I saw them I

(07:56):
met them for the first time in the lobby here.
Oh okay, because we have cried together on the phone,
on the zoom, etc.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
So I'm excited to bring first.

Speaker 4 (08:05):
Selena, right, Hey, Selena, Selena Martin.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Okay, hello da melanin Povin.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
Selena was told she needed surgery for her fibroids. Her
largest one was nine point one centimeter.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Listen, please tell me what happened, Like, how did you
even know you had fibroids?

Speaker 5 (08:27):
Honestly, it's really crazy that I found out because I
didn't have all the symptoms that a lot of people
usually have. I didn't even know to really look for fibroid.
It wasn't a concern that was on my radar. But
when I went to the doctor, I had gone to
the doctor because my husband and I had been trying
to conceive infertality. Yeah, I had a desire to be

(08:47):
a mother ultimately, since I was a little girl. It
was always a deep, deep longing in me to be
a mother. And last year I got pregnant after about
two years of trying with my husband. Pregnant was so
excited and then suddenly the most exciting, happy moment of
my life turned into one of the most devastating and

(09:09):
difficult seasons I've ever had to walk through as I
lost my baby. Wow, and that was a really difficult journey,
thank you. And as I grieved that over the following months,
I never let go of the hope and the prayer
that God would answer this prayer that he would give
me children one day.

Speaker 1 (09:28):
And so I want to ask you before you finish, Yeah,
how does that affect a marriage too, Because sometimes the
way that you're feeling, the way that you think that
he's feeling, Like, how did that affect things.

Speaker 5 (09:38):
I mean, honestly, I think that it really matters who
you marry.

Speaker 6 (09:42):
Hell yeah.

Speaker 5 (09:43):
But with my husband, I think that it really did
bond us in a new way. You have people who
are a strong community. They grieve with you when you grieve,
they rejoice with you when you rejoice. But there's no
one that understands the depth of that kind of loss
in this same way that you and your husband do
for yourselves, for your family and what that means to you.

(10:05):
So we grief together, but it did bring us a
lot closer together. Yeah, and we learned a lot about
one another as we supported each other through that grief.
So my husband was a big encourager and supporter in
just reminding me hasilin we don't have to give up hope.
You know, this happened, but we don't have to give
up hope. Like, we're going to keep the faith that
this will be a desire that's fulfilled one day and

(10:28):
we're going to do what we can. We're going to
do our part to make it happen.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
So finde.

Speaker 5 (10:33):
So that's how So I went to the doctor trying
to get answers on what I needed to do for
conception and instead found out that I had a nine
point one centimeter fibrie And I was like, wait what,
Like I didn't even really feel it, Like I didn't
know I had this in me. And the doctor was like.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
And that's big.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
That's about the size of a large orange. Okay, just
for people to have reference, yes, because people usually use
fruit as a reference.

Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yes.

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Yeah. So when I and I could see it on
the ultrasound, it was huge. And the doctor was even
pretty discouraging when she said to me, you're thirty one
years old and you don't have kids, or thirty two.
She said, you're thirty two years old and you don't
have kids. You need to hurry up and have a
surgery as soon as possible, or you might not be
able to have children. It's going to be too late

(11:18):
for you. And I was told my only option was
surgery and that it needed to happen as soon as possible.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
So that was how I got the news, expecting to
leave the doctor's office and as a plan.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
Yeah, you would think. I've had multiple.

Speaker 5 (11:33):
Woman doctors say that that that was the option. That
I could take birth control to treat the symptoms, but
the only way to really eliminate the fybroid with surgery,
and so I went home feeling really discouraged, really sad
about that, and thinking, oh, a surgery is going to
delay my plan for conception even further because I'd have
to go through the recovery time afterwards, and who knows

(11:55):
what that will do to my body. So I felt
really discouraged. But my husband felt very very strongly that
there was a natural way to combat this. He just said, Selena,
I really don't think that surgery is the answer.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm not going to.

Speaker 5 (12:06):
Force you and tell you can't. Like, I support whatever
you decide ultimately, but he was like, I just think
that we should do some research, and I think that
there is another way to combat that. So we did
do some research. We looked into different options, and that's
when my mom connected me to coach.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
Jesse ybar shout out to her mom, VICKI, who went
to school with Mark.

Speaker 3 (12:28):
Okay, that's how we were connected and.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
Uband they connect everybody. Yes, yeah, lots of connections.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
I felt like it was a divine connection obviously for
such a time as this, and coach Jesse she I
told her in the lobby, she just treats everybody like
they're her best friends. You know, this is our first
time meeting in person, but I feel.

Speaker 6 (12:48):
Like I already know you too.

Speaker 2 (12:52):
In a great way and the best way.

Speaker 5 (12:54):
I get text messages from her at ten pm, you know, so,
how is everything update? And I'm like, I like, I
feel like we're actually friends. I mean, I really feel
like it's been a divine connection. But even from that
first time speaking with you, so Coach Jesse called me
after my mom connected us and I was crying. I

(13:15):
remember I was so emotional on that zoom call and
I was.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Like, I'm sorry, I can't I was scared.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
I was terrified, and Coach Jesse really calmed me down
and just gave me so much peace as she informed
me on things I didn't even know, and she let
me know that I had options, and she kept saying, Selena,
surgery is not the only answer. I don't care if
it's a nine point one centimeter fibroid, it is not

(13:41):
the only answer. You have options, And I believe and.

Speaker 4 (13:44):
If you wanted to know, was connected to doctor p
to the best.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
And I really did. I respected that too, because it
made me feel like, Okay, she's not just forcing in particular.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
We want you to go to somebody that's going to
do an amazing job exactly.

Speaker 5 (14:01):
Which and you can trust that, you know. So she
I felt so supported because she was like, either way,
whether you go the surgery route or you want to
combat this naturally, I'm here for you. I'm going to
support you. And so, after a lot of prayer, a
lot of consideration and listening to my husband, I decided
to take what felt like a huge leap of faith
at that time, and I started the detox.

Speaker 4 (14:23):
Now did the balancer kid, Yes, balance, And at that
time we didn't have a liminate yet. Yeah, so it
was balanced D three and the detox.

Speaker 2 (14:31):
There, Yes, And how was it?

Speaker 5 (14:33):
Honestly, it was so much easier than I expected. I
initially had thought, oh, this is going to be such
a difficult process. It's going to be a lot of
a whole lot of extrenuous work. But honestly, a lot
of my lifestyle changes were more moderate.

Speaker 6 (14:48):
You know.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
I was trying to take care of my body, just
eating a little bit better. But I didn't do anything extreme.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
I was wanting she didn't do anything extreme, right, I
really didn't.

Speaker 6 (14:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Some people think it is.

Speaker 4 (14:59):
Well, you know, before we revamped everything. It literally was
like you had to be in boot camp. Yeah, it
was like, that's not sustainable.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
I needed, you know. We talked about healing needed.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
To be more accessible, easy, and sustainable and affordable.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Yeah, and affordable absolutely.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
And it was all of those things, which I'm very
grateful for because I was able to be consistent with it.
And I told my husband, I was like, results. My
biggest motivator is results. And within the first two weeks
of taking the detox or doing the detox, now, I
noticed my body just felt better. And I kept telling
my husband, I don't know, I feel good, Like I
don't even feel like there's a fibri and I just

(15:37):
feel so good. And I think the vitamin D played
a huge role because I never knew how much vitamin D,
like how big of a faster that is in your
home hormonal balance. Because so I'm I think that that
played a huge role in transforming my health.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
But then number one hormone that your body uses to
fight inflammation into.

Speaker 5 (15:58):
Me see listen to that girl. Indeed, and with the
vitamin K two that made that as well.

Speaker 2 (16:05):
Yeah, so that to be you know, another uh, you know,
one of us about it edge going well.

Speaker 5 (16:17):
So anyway, I went back to the doctor after about
six weeks of using the details.

Speaker 3 (16:21):
Let me be clear.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
When she said I'm going back to six weeks, that's
not a lot of times, right, Like, did she have
any results? Yeah, she's feeling better. I'm like, Okay, let's
see what happens.

Speaker 5 (16:32):
And honestly, I was like, I'm not expecting anything major necessarily,
but I was like, I want to see that there's
been something. I'm just hoping, like even if it's half
a cent, you know, I'm like, I want to Yeah,
I want to see some results because that's going to
motivate me even more. And I had my whole community
of people praying. I mean, I just have a great
community surrounding me. I went to the doctor and when

(16:55):
I got the ultrasound, the doctor's like, okay, so you
have a fibroid and it is four centimeters in size.
I said, excuse me, will you say that again? She
said four centimeters inside And this was a different doctor.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
I was like, okay, I need to go back to that.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Exactly.

Speaker 5 (17:15):
She was. The other one was in the Dominican Republic.
So I'm like, I'm about to get a ticket just
to show. But I told her, I said, okay, I
had a nine point one centimeter fibroid, like that means
that this has shrunken more than half its size. And
initially she didn't believe me. She was like, no, they
probably just miscalculated, because like she's thinking.

Speaker 3 (17:33):
There's no way.

Speaker 5 (17:35):
So I pull up the pictures from I was like wait, no, wait,
because she was ready to move on.

Speaker 3 (17:41):
I'm like, no, wait, let.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Me show you the receipts exactly.

Speaker 5 (17:46):
I show her the ultrasound pictures and she's like what.
She goes, wow, well that is really that is really big.
She's like, well that's well, this is definitely four centimeters.
That was such exciting news to be able to come home,
share that with my husband, to share that testimony with

(18:06):
so many people who have been praying and believing. And
I love how you said on Instagram. Faith it's that
faith with words, yea, you know, the combination. I believe
that God heals, he answers prayers, but then muses things
like the detox now gives us the tools and resources
that we need to be able to combat these issues.
So I was so grateful for that testimony, so grateful

(18:27):
for detoc now and the way that you have invested
in me, Coach Jesse, the way that the role that
you have played, Oh, don't make me emotional, because I
have to say, I don't know where I would be.
I don't know if I would be where I am
today had it not been starting this health journey in
this way. Because oh, now I'm about to get at
the show. Because it's not just the fibroids drinking that

(18:48):
I'm celebrating today.

Speaker 6 (18:51):
I found out a few weeks ago that I'm pregnant.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
That's amazing.

Speaker 5 (18:58):
Wows If my family friends are listening, I didn't tell you, Yeah,
I'm sorry, I got to hear it.

Speaker 2 (19:12):
I got to see the heart beat last week. Ever
you saw the heartbeat last week? Last week, I.

Speaker 5 (19:16):
Saw my baby's heart beat and it was a strong
heartbeat and it was such a beautiful, surreal experience. And
I just think if I had gone with the surgery
instead of taking the step of faith and trying this out,
I might.

Speaker 1 (19:30):
Not be here to you, you'd still be on your
way on this journey most likely.

Speaker 5 (19:34):
So I'm to say I'm thankful, and understatement, I just
hope anyone listening, if you don't hear anything else that
you hear you have options, because that's what I needed
to hear.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
Oh my gosh, what congratulations, thank you, this is what
I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (19:50):
This amazing, Thank you, Selena.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
I have to tell you that, you know, years ago,
I said to God, God, when my story came, I said,
I saw this same rhetoric happening over and over.

Speaker 3 (20:02):
Was that, well, you know, this is what we have.

Speaker 4 (20:04):
Black women get on more than anybody else, and this
is just the situation. And I just said one day,
A said, I praise that God, would you help me
to be a part of the cure to help women
put the power in their hands. And I had no
idea that this one day we would be part of this.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
So it's just a moment for me.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
Thank you, thank you, Oh my God.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
And I'm so excited to share our next testimony.

Speaker 2 (20:31):
Oh wow.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, we got two testimonies today, so welcome Maurie Marie.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Hi.

Speaker 7 (20:41):
First, I want to thank Coach Chessi and you Angela
for having me on this show and congratulate you both
on your Powerhouse partnership.

Speaker 2 (20:50):
Well, thank you, we appreciate.

Speaker 6 (20:52):
That necessary and so timely.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
Well and do you and Selena know each other already?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
Abby, I cannot wait to hear this story.

Speaker 7 (21:02):
Well, I ans fortunate Esselna to come across Coach Jessie
at the discovery of a fibroid, so the first time
I may jump around, so bear with me. When I
found out that I had fibroids, I went to my
ob gyn. At the time, I'm an avid exerciser, so
I heard that when yeah, sort of. I heard that

(21:27):
when you are, you know, exercising extensively, that sometimes you
can miss your cycle. And I missed my cycle and
I thought that was the cause of it. And I
went to my OBI and he said, no, actually, you
have fibroids. And I'm like, okay. He's like, yeah, small,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
Did you know what fibriards were before that?

Speaker 6 (21:44):
Nothing?

Speaker 2 (21:45):
Okay.

Speaker 6 (21:46):
All I heard was it was small, don't worry about it.
You're fine. I went home. I didn't ask any questions.

Speaker 4 (21:52):
Let us interrupt and say, fibroids are, for those who
may not know, non cancer res tumors that occur in
and around the uterus and can actually vary in size, location,
and quantity and cause symptoms like heavy bleeding, painful periods, bloating,
in fertility, bloating and more.

Speaker 6 (22:08):
Yeah, I definitely had painful cycles and.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Had them all your life right painful.

Speaker 7 (22:15):
I had them all the way up to twenty twelve
when I had my abdomino myomectomy and they removed about
nine to twelve fibroids. They were various sizes. In twenty seventeen,
I was forty one and I was desperately seeking to
become a mom, and it was Christmas time. I was

(22:38):
rapping gifts and I decided instead of listening to more
songs that I would look for a natural solution on YouTube.
And a video came up about a woman who eliminated
fifty fibroids this weekend.

Speaker 3 (22:54):
I had to start her fast next week.

Speaker 7 (22:55):
I saw that video and I'm like, what is the program?
I need to get on it. And that's how I
was introduced to Coach Jesse. I am an OGTDN.

Speaker 3 (23:02):
She is.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
I was gonna say, yeah, I remember that, Yeah, and
first time meeting Coach Jesse, but I feel like I
know her okay, yeah, and the phone on the grade
we had all kinds of conversations. She's she is such
a blessing and such a light and has been a
part of my healing ecosystem, which is what I consider TDN.

(23:28):
So I did not want to have surgery again because
I feel like it's surgery is necessary for certain things,
but I also feel like it really masks the problem
and you don't get to the root cause, which is
why I was excited when I came across the detox
now and So in twenty seventeen, introduced to Coach Jesse,

(23:50):
I started the Fruit Fast in twenty eighteen, the thirty
day Fruit Fast. I thought it was a difficult fast
because I had to be introduced to all these new foods,
but I took it week by week and it become
it became very easy for me.

Speaker 6 (24:06):
Right.

Speaker 2 (24:06):
I feel like the beginning is the hardest part.

Speaker 7 (24:09):
When you're adjusting to it, right, but when you take
it week by week, then you're like, Okay, it's not
so hard. I don't need to buy all these foods simultaneously.
And I took a break from exercising because I didn't
know what it would do to my.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
The same thing.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Yeah, I was like, I can't work out right now,
just in case exactly.

Speaker 7 (24:27):
But actually it you know, I'm not new too fasting.
I've done the Master Plans, I've done obviously the water fast,
but when I did the thirty day fruit Fast, I
didn't exercise and my stomach was gone.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
I hadn't seen a flat stomach in a long time.
Not that I'm a big.

Speaker 7 (24:44):
Girl, but I felt so much better in my body.
I was introduced to new foods. I was preparing my
body for baby. I was living in California at the time,
and I was on my way to church. I heard
a radio advertisement for an IVF center that did natural
and minimal stimulation IVA, so less needles, less drugs. I

(25:09):
did minimal stimulation IVF. In December, I had a cycle.
They could not find the egg when they went to
retrieve it. Then in July I had another failed cycle.
This is all twenty eighteen September, we sent two in
and I now have a six year old.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
That's right, that's right.

Speaker 6 (25:31):
So I thank coach Jesse.

Speaker 7 (25:33):
For helping me prepare my body for baby. I think
the Life IVF Center in Irvine, California, and I'm just
so grateful that I found something that works with my body.
Balance is my jam. Whenever I feel out of whack,
I take it my cycle comes back. I'm not feeling pain.
I'm now taking D three and K two. I've done

(25:55):
the fourteen days.

Speaker 4 (25:57):
She is a life now. She has done the fourteen
teen day many times. So then I was like three times,
you gotta do this, you gotta do the seven I
was like, now you gotta do this.

Speaker 1 (26:07):
Did That's a tough that that one was a little
tough only because and I always tell you this, it's
hard to socially like do things because everything revolves around food,
food when you go out, and so but the seven day,
I think, is you know.

Speaker 6 (26:20):
The seventh day was like, like I said, the glow
up without the grind.

Speaker 2 (26:25):
Yeah, and it's easy.

Speaker 7 (26:28):
It was easy for me because yes, she's already I've
done boot camp and it wasn't so it wasn't a thing,
and I was really I felt good. I felt like
it was the same results. Although you feel in your
mind initially is it really water It should be, it
should be struggling through this, but I have the same results.

(26:49):
I felt like I was on my reset and.

Speaker 1 (26:53):
Skin was skinning body and I was going to say,
both of you, your skin is skinning like you can
today just blowing because this is something that also, but
these detaxes, it really does help like everything, your hair,
your growth of everything, your skin, your gut, yeah.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Everything, Yeah, right, absolutely.

Speaker 7 (27:10):
I really prayed to like Selena mentioned, about finding something
that would work for me, and I really did not
want anyone to go back into my body and cut
anything out. I mean, they wanted to take my uterus,
they wanted to do uterine embolization, and in my gut,
I felt like that's not the way. And so this

(27:32):
was such a grand option for me, such an impactful
option for me. And I just feel like, if you
find something that works for your body, continue on with that,
because now it's about prevention.

Speaker 2 (27:48):
Mm hmm. I love that.

Speaker 7 (27:49):
Yes, okay, you have to be an expert. You have
to advocate for your body because or for your health,
because no one else will do it. And we were
talking in outside and saying how we don't ask the
doctor's questions and Jesse was like, because we don't even
know what to ask them, and it's so true. And

(28:10):
I feel like young girls need to be more in
tune with their body, what's happening. Like we're always I heard,
we're always in a cycle, Like we're always in our
menstrual cycle than the ludial faith always harry menopausal and menopause.
There's always some kind of cycle that we're in. So
I'm just grateful.

Speaker 3 (28:27):
For the resident.

Speaker 1 (28:30):
And it's great because even having conversations but tell of
our friends. This is knowledge that spreads, So we all
know our friends that have fibruaris or maybe they do
and they don't know, but they have the symptoms of it.
I just think it's great to see, like as leaders
in this now from having gone through it and being
able to speak from your own experience.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That's the most valuable thing, you know.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
I always say when you impact a woman, you impact
literally a community, generation and the nation, because really that's
how we are.

Speaker 6 (28:58):
We Yeah, we'd in mouth.

Speaker 7 (28:59):
I've told so much people about TDN and not and
just because it's worked so well for me, and I
know everyone's body is different, but it's like, if you
have another option, go for it. See what it does
for you.

Speaker 3 (29:11):
That's it, you know.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well, listen, I love this and we are.

Speaker 1 (29:16):
It's five Worars Awareness month, it is five Ers Awareness Month,
and I do feel like it's time for us to
do this seven day reset challenge. Yeah, we're actually gearing
up to do our seven day reset. It's the you know,
every quarter we do a challenge. So our Q three
Challenge starts next week July thirteenth through the nineteenth. We're
inviting you all to join us, and everything's twenty five

(29:38):
percent off right now at the detox now dot com
for the Freedom from five Roids sale because we you know,
we were like, listen, we're gonna make a lot.

Speaker 4 (29:44):
About freedom for fibroids. Okay, So whatever you're dealing with,
it's to reset your bikes. So we reset and then
we eliminate.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm gonna start with you from the thirteenth to the seventeenth.
But then I got a chip to Saint Martin for
my friend's birthday. Okay, that's okay, I'm gonna write it out.

Speaker 2 (29:59):
That's it, you know.

Speaker 4 (30:00):
And in the island though, you're gonna be in an island,
so you can still also have a lot of fruit too.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
You know, I can. I'm gonna do other things, you know,
But I'm just being realistic. I know, I am.

Speaker 6 (30:12):
But when you.

Speaker 7 (30:12):
Get on the waterfast, you have to be careful about
how you reassimilate.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Yeah, no, I am, I am.

Speaker 6 (30:18):
I went on a girls trip. I did the seven
Day Waterfast.

Speaker 7 (30:21):
I went on a girls trip and I was in
the period where I could actually eat food, but I
felt like I had it too quickly.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
Yeah, you can't go full force back, and you gotta
That's why there's a whole program you're supposed to eat. Yeah,
for sure, That's how I am cautious even before I start.
And then when I'm doing, yeah, I ease into it.
So before I start any type of any one of
these detacs now fast sugar coffee, I make sure that
for a few days, I'm like toning it down because
you can't go and have like a big celebratory meal

(30:51):
before you go in and do it.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Look at it, expert.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
I love it.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
No, but it's true because you know, you gotta like
you don't want to like shock anything either, And then
when it's over, what's the point of going right back
to doing what you were doing before that? Because I
also feel like at the end of it, your taste
buds also have changed, that's true, you know, And certain
things that there's to this day, like things that I'm like, no,
that's too much, or you know, and I just don't
even want it. Anymore because I definitely have it. I

(31:18):
feel like I love sugar, and that's been a thing
with me. But now I'm like, all right, when I
feel the need for certain things, let's get some fruit.
Let's get this, and a lot of it is also
what you have in the house.

Speaker 2 (31:27):
You know, you talk about buying all the fruits.

Speaker 1 (31:29):
You don't got to do it all at once, but
it is nice to have things to snack on in
the house because I know me, if it's in the house,
I might eat it, so I just have to be cautious.

Speaker 2 (31:39):
It's so true.

Speaker 6 (31:39):
I learned that after the seventh day, said I did.
I'm like the waterfaft.

Speaker 7 (31:44):
It's like, why do I always get back on the
struggle bus? And I realized it was because I'm not
stalking my house with the right food.

Speaker 6 (31:53):
I'm like, oh, okay, what took me so long?

Speaker 3 (31:56):
But she was like, I got a revelation this time.

Speaker 2 (31:59):
I started eating Charity is fast.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I never had Kingo one before, and then I was
like I could pronounce it and everything, So thank you everybody.
