Speaker 2 (00:31):
Are you working out and you're eating clean and what
you did in your twenties isn't working anymore?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You need to tune in today.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Welcome to Accelerated Health with Saravanta or I cut through
the noise and fast track your journey to better health.
I'm your host, CEO and founder of Accelerated Health Products
and certified by the National Association of Nutritional Professionals. I'm
here to share the latest and supplements, wellness acts, and
natural health solutions. They're actually imagine that from boosting energy
(01:03):
to detoxing to balancing hormones and everything in between. I
will help you reach your goal. So let's dive in.
We have one of my favorite human beings back on,
Debrah Atkinson. She coaches thousands of clients and wellness and
relationships and all the things. But what I love her
(01:25):
for is telling us how to tweak things after fifty
and you know, Welcome Debra. I was actually in a
my yoga class the other morning and it was throw
back Thursday, and my instructor, who's over fifty, she wears
her eighties outfit on the throwback Thursday, just fun and
(01:48):
she's like, these are were my outfits when.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I taught six aerobics classes in a day.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Right, Oh, yes, So that was our mindset back then,
and it worked when you were six teen and twenty
years old, but not so much anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Right, so true. So she wore her underwear on the
outside of her outfit.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, good, yeah, and then she was laughing because the
material doesn't breathe like workout the material.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
She couldn't like get it off fast enough.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It was so funny anyway, and she said it wasn't
for costume. She has it in her closet still.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
She shouldn't say that out Now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm excited because I'm forty nine and most of the
listeners are over their forties into their fifties, and they
keep cutting calories, they keep talking more, they're starting to
use the weighted vest because that's the thing, and it's
all the things that you're trying to do so that
you don't get to the ozepic or maybe some people do.
(02:52):
And that's a whole other topic. But we're also bothered
by the hot flashes and all of them menopausal symptoms
that were dealing with, and the hormonal changes, and then
our grown kids and our elderly parents that were sandwiched
in between sorts.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Stress level is high, all of these factors. So you
are the key. So where do we start.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You know, the thing is you said weighted best, and
I think that is right now. It's having a moment.
I mean, and I mean you know, a year ago,
I think maybe a year to year and a half ago,
Peter Attia wrote his book and he started talking about
rucking and then everybody's like what is that? And then
weighted best became really the hot thing. And now it's
(03:40):
kind of going through. Let me do we need to reconsider?
Is that really a good idea? And you know, the
whole thing is I think we're all looking for was
that next thing? Next thing? I think sometimes we just
let's clear it all away and this start with the basics.
Let's not be asking what the next thing is before
(04:00):
we have the basics that are the foundation. And for
those women I think self included every once in a while,
I just like strip away and say, wait a minute.
You know, I've got myself on this hamster wheel. I've
got to do this, and I've got to do that
and this, and and then it just becomes, oh my god,
(04:21):
are you kidding? Another thing, like another rule I have
to follow, And it's I think when we strip away
and we come back to basics, what we can do
is quite everything down and while we are you know,
have my favorite is yellow legal pads and posted notes, right,
millions of them all over the place. I've started to
(04:42):
even buy big ones I can put on the wall.
They're very cool. But you know, then I'm showing my
house and the realtors like, could you, you know, take
that down?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I mean, God, but let's get back to basics. And
so if we start with just a foundation, there are
things we want to do premenopause that work, and then
perimenopause may not work so well and they may be backfire. Postmenopause,
we can actually get back in the game in a
(05:15):
different way because things smooth out. It's very interesting. But
before we do all that, we have to forget we're
just human, before we're women in Perry and postmenopause, what
do we need as human and what are the basics there?
So if we could start there, we're just foundation building.
I think that's probably the best way to start. And
(05:37):
the number one is how do you feel right now?
That's your data? You know, if we were you know,
research teams and we were reading the results and the report,
the first thing that we need to know is what
data do we have? So do you feel good based
on the habits that you most recently have had. Probably
what you've been doing for the last three to six
(05:58):
weeks is giving you the result you have right now,
even if you've made a major change you've started to
either it's going now in the right direction, or it's
going further and you feel worse and something's backfire like that,
Like not everybody can do keto. Some people do really
well on it, but not everybody does. And so I
(06:19):
think first of all, starting there, and then once you're there,
looking at where do we stand the most room for change?
And it's probably somewhere in what we're eating and how
we're sleeping, because those things really take precedence. The exercise
unfortunately hasn't gotten to the top of the mountain yet.
(06:43):
That we say. I think many of us maybe still
say it's more like flossing than brushing your teeth. We
need it to be more like brushing your teeth, like
you wouldn't not do that. You might skip flossing, but
we really need to think of exercise and moving every
day as it's brushing our teeth. We need to do it,
(07:04):
and we don't have the luxury of saying I'm really
busy today, so I'll do it tomorrow, not anymore. And
we don't want to necessarily go really hard every day.
We don't want to get breathless every day. We don't
want to lift weights to muscular fatigue every day. We
have to have the recovery, but we do want to
move every day in some way. And at the end
(07:26):
of that we should say, oh my gosh, so invigorated
and I feel like my brain is really firing and
I'm functioning better because I'm doing that. And when your
program is not giving you that, then it's probably the
data is saying based on the moment you're in in life,
collectively your hormones, your older aging parents, and your young
(07:52):
kids who are all leaning on you all the things,
it's just not working. Right now. It doesn't mean that
in a month or in a week, in three months
that you might not come back to this, but right
now is not the time to do it. For you
to get the optimal in your fitness level, we've got
to make changes pivots.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And the other thing is too change confuses the body
and keeps your body on its toes, because if you
keep doing the same thing over and over and over again,
even if it's right for right now, it's going to
lose its effect. And that's happened to me a million
times over right you're like, oh wait a second, that
(08:33):
two mile run after my lifting session really made me
feel amazing, and then diminishing returns, diminishing returns, and then
it's like I have to do it just to stay
at baseline. So, Deborah, I loved what you said about
the fact that you might have to pull away from
certain things during perimenopause, but then you can come back
(08:55):
to them, which is something that actually would not make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But can you go through that a little bit.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's truly not into it right. Well, if we follow
traditionally what previous generations have done, we've all believed you
get older and you slow down, and you know the
meme is correct. We slow down because we stop moving.
It's not that we're just age alone what we're finding.
And I think we don't have enough research, We don't
(09:24):
have enough examples. We have a few, but we all
keep sharing them, right, We see them on our timeline
all the time. Julia, bless her heart, who's over one
hundred and sprints. You know, we keep passing her around
because she's amazing, But she's one of a kind. We
could all be that if we wanted to. And look,
I mean some of us haven't wanted to sprint when
(09:47):
we were forty, so we're probably not going to sprint
when we're one hundred also, you know, but what we
need to keep in mind is that when hormones stabilize
after menopause, it doesn't matter if you are doing HRT
or not. They are no longer on a roller coaster ride.
They're not floating up and down the way they are
(10:10):
when trending downward estrogen. But we were going through cycles
still during perimenopause. That's over, so it's much more of
a predictable ride. We know our blood sugar is not
going to go up and down quite so much doesn't
mean we don't have stressors coming in from life that
is causing havoc. Then that will as long as we
(10:30):
have a heartbeat and meaningful people and things in our lives,
that will happen. So be thankful for it if it's
still happening to you, because otherwise it's probably a pretty
lonely lie. But we want to realize that we're older,
we're losing more muscle mass or more likely if we
sit still, and we need to fight for our bone
(10:53):
as well. So we actually need greater amounts of stimulus
in our sixties than we did in our fifties and
definitely our forties where we needed to keep moving, but
we just needed to make sure we weren't throwing our
adrenals and cortisol under the bus.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Right, And we talked about for those of you who
missed it, I was on Debra's show talking about cortisol
and stress and how that will affect your results, whether
it's in the gym and your diet. And so it's
a three legged prom You cannot do one without the
other two. You can't outwork out a bad diet, you
(11:30):
can't out an overwhelmed level of stress.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And adrenal fatigue.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So you've got to address all these things. And we
talked about the weighted vest. But one other thing that
people are really question mean is the ten thousand steps.
And I've got people that say, Sarah, I hit twenty
thousand steps, and then you think, well, how's that working
for you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So exactly is this a goal of every woman over fifty?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
No, I think not. I think the very first thing
is to yes, you should move every day. That's really
at the base of our platform and our foundation. We
want movement every day because we can't lift every day,
we can't go high intensity interval training every day. The
body needs recovery from those really hard things. They're important,
but then so is the recovery between them. But the
(12:22):
thing that should be a stable is movement every day.
So for some of us who can, our ankles, knees
and hips will let us we can go walking, and
the temperature outside will also let us. It's not odark
hundred or or it's safe. We know that we can
do it. So yes, but walking is important. But if
(12:43):
say you're getting those twenty thousand steps, And I got
a woman on a call the other day, I said
I got thirty thousand today, and I'm like, well, you
can't keep you can't keep escalating that. I mean, you
can't tomorrow say no, I have to get thirty thousand
because I have a new bar. It is like the
return on the investment of the time and the energy
(13:03):
is probably not there. And although it's probably not as
damaging as if you were running a marathon every day
and that extreme at higher intensity exercise, we still could
be causing adrenal fatigue. It's hard to keep up with that,
the caloric intake and output. And then you have to
(13:24):
look at is it creating a greater appetite like cravings
as opposed to a healthy appetite. Is it making you
so tired you actually can't sleep as opposed to benefiting
your sleep. So those are things to look at. How's
your libido when you walk thirty thousand steps? I mean
I would say, I think, sonnybit, you know, I'm good.
(13:47):
You know I had a good walk today. I don't
really need this, you know, And that's really not where
you want to go every day. But now you know,
I love the idea of going for a long hike
and doing that, but you wouldn't necessarily want to do
that every day. So this sweet spot I think is
between about six thousand and seven thousand, you know, and
(14:08):
if you're right now at four thousand, I would try
to bump that up a little bit, just, you know
a little bit. Every day you're seeking here's my bar
this week, I'm going to shoot for a little bit
more and work your way up so you have stamina
and endurance to do it. But when you're at six
to seven thousand, now let's look first. Are you also
lifting weights at least twice weekly? And can you also
(14:34):
one to four times, depending on where you're at perimenopause
to postmenopause. Can you get breathless a few times during
a session, go all out, recover completely, and go all
out again, like you're crossing the finish line. It's just
a second thing. It's not minutes long. And if you're
(14:54):
doing that and you have time and bandwidth and energy,
then by all means if you want to walk or
walk more, But I would not fill up your time
and energy in walking only without those other things.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thirty thousand steps, what else are you doing during the day.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I think it was very work related, So I don't
know if she's in a warehouse or what she's doing.
But there seems to be a work component to it.
But you know how we are, Sarah. If we get
it in our head that I need to go for
a walk, it doesn't matter if you're also walking at work.
Sometimes we don't allow everything to go in a bucket.
(15:37):
We don't think of it all as steps. We think
of it as no, no, no, I need the exercise,
you know then, and really with steps, we are finding
all steps count, they count pretty equally.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I love my ten to thirty minute walk after dinner,
and it is a stroll with my they're sniffing, they're
stopping me, but it's an around sunset and I feel
my body just and my cortisol come down. I'm really
appreciating the day that it's just more of this restorative
(16:16):
walk and I think I get a lot more out
of that than a power walk with a weight vest.
Not that's not okay too. So we're talking about, you know,
the in the twenties, the aerobic bunnies that we used
to be, and now we're not supposed to do cardio
(16:37):
any oh anymore. But that's not necessarily true too. There's
a way to do it, but it's strategic. Can you
talk about that and how it fits into the weekly plan?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Absolutely? And I think, first of all, as funny as
this seems, because we've been saying cardio our entire adult lives,
let's define it for a second. What falls under that umbrella?
And I would say this is not actually scientific, but broadly,
you know, I would put everything in there where your
heart rate is up and you're breathing harder. So from walking,
(17:11):
you know, at your self selected pace, not trying to
reach a certain per mile pace, you're just going for
a walk. Even that is cardio. You're off the couch,
your heart is beating harder than it would if you
were sitting down and sedentary, if you were jogging, if
you were running, or your equivalent, you could be on
elliptical or a bike, and so don't get caught up
(17:31):
in the activity. And then if you're literally sprinting you're
going as hard as possible, that actually is cardio. It
could fall under that, but we start distinguishing between aerobic,
meaning we could do it for a very long time repeatedly.
We can sustain ourselves breathing in, breathing out, and go
for miles or hours. But when it's anaerobic, we can't
(17:55):
go very far. When it's anaerobic, we can go for
seconds and then have to stop. That is literally sprinting
to the end. We don't have that same pace in
a hole race that we have at the last thirty
yards of that race. That's really anaerobic and that we
actually need some event. As we age, we lose that
(18:17):
capacity to get breathless. But in terms of cardio, I
think of it as zone training, and again we got
a little comfortable with it. That term kept being thrown
around Zone two and less instead define it. How does
this feel? So? Zone two feels like you're breathing a
little bit through your nose and your mouth both kind
(18:40):
of a seesa back and forth. You don't have to
you're not huffing and puffing in it's only mouth. It's
not that yet. But you're also not just walking as
tiny little dog and breathing entirely through your nose. You
know you're exercising, you know you're moving on purpose, but
you are still very comfortable. You can have a conversation.
(19:03):
You and I would go for a walk. We're going
to talk very comfortably. You know, if we were going uphill,
it might get a little bit harder, and I'd be
asking you questions strategically so you could talk and I
could listen, you know, and I get a little chance
to catch my breath. But that's zone two, and we
plan it so that, yes, you're just bumping into that
(19:23):
place where you're not uncomfortable at all. You might at
the top, and we call this cardiac drift, and that
means if you go too long, and those of us
that love it are most guilty of this. We allow
ourselves to go into what we refer to as physiologists
zone three, and zone three training is what we also
(19:46):
call in the back of the room, no benefits zone.
There's not really much good happening in there. It's the
point where for women midlife particularly, we start elevating or
escalating our cortisol levels at about forty five to sixty minutes,
and then they don't have that corresponding declined after they
(20:09):
maintain the elevation. And that's where everybody gets a little
uproar us. Right now, cortisol is not the problem, and
exercise doesn't cause cortisol. People will say, well, it does,
and it's supposed to. By the way, it's not a
bad thing. Cortisol is energy, and your body will when
you start to exercise, convert things to cortisol so that
(20:31):
you have energy to exercise. It is absolutely scientifically supposed
to happen. But what happens is it should go up
and should come down. That's the rule, right, But what
happens when we stay in that middle zone too long,
our cortisol goes up during the exercise and your body
really has a struggle to adapt, and so afterward it's
(20:54):
more chronically elevated the rest of the day. And if
you find you still love going out for that five
or six mile run right at around an hour or longer,
for the rest of you, you're probably not responding as
well to it. Now might be putting on a little
belly fat. You come back and you feel sluggish. You
never have that euphoric high. It just feels flat, like
(21:19):
you pushed through it and you can do it, but
it's not really if you admit it, feeling is good
and that is nothing you're doing wrong, and your fitness
level is not necessarily suffering. What you would want to
substitute instead is do more of the walking regularly. Lower level,
because that's below the threshold cortisol comes in. In fact,
(21:42):
when we're walking, cortisol tends to go down, so you're
even better off after a walk than you were before.
But the other piece we want is very much at
the top of the pyramid, the icing on the cake,
where we're getting breathless, and we're getting breathless in about
thirty seconds or less, and then we recover completely and
(22:02):
we do that again on to repeat, and that is
called interval training. And that's a whole alphabet soup, by
the way, So I hesitate to say it. Some people
call it hits. Some people call it sprint interval training.
Some people call it hurt high intensity repeat training. None
of those are wrong. But what is true is focus
on how you're feeling. You get breathless in thirty seconds
(22:25):
or less, you recover completely between so that you're actually
working at your capacity. None of this tabata, you know,
or I hesitate to say it, but I'm going to
do it. Orange theory where they're telling you go again,
go again, because if you're not completely recovered, and you're
(22:46):
a woman in midlife, we're probably going to be more
at risk for getting hurt. Injured and we're not working
at capacity anymore. It absolutely feels hard, but you're not
actually working at you your personal hardest, and that's when
you'll get fit.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Right. Yeah, And it makes so much sense. But we've
been taught that we just need to be breathless.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
All the time. You feel like we're.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Working hard, and it's something that we just have to
get out of our heads.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I feel that my.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Cortisol come down when I walk after dinner on that stroll.
That it is magnificent. It is probably the best therapy
and it's free. Imagine that right.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, before we.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Get to the end, I want to make sure we
talk about the Hot Not Bothered challenge because I think
this is going to be amazing for my audience, especially
coming off of the cortisol reset detox of September, to
push this into to follow it with this challenge in
October where your body's been reset and now ready to go.
(24:00):
We've got the metabolism and the thyroid and the and
the adrenals working. And by the way, if anyone missed
out on the cortisol reset, you can start at at
any time and you can do it at the same
time as the Hot Not Bothered challenge. But Deborah talk
about the inspiration behind this and what we can expect
(24:23):
from joining.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
You know, the first inspiration was, you know, we collectively
began to have about one thousand women in our membership.
And when you have when you have a collective of
that many women, you start to see patterns and trends. Now,
you know, it's not just one woman or two or three.
Now it's like, okay, wait a minute. And it wasn't
(24:47):
a if it was when when women were going to
hit get hit by you know, I think we've got
this bucket, and you know, we can take a lot in.
We can take the aging parents and the caregiving, and
we can take the stressful job and the project and
the move and the oh yeah, we got this. And
then and then hormones changing go in there. We can't
(25:10):
even control that. But at some point we're we're tipping over.
Our bucket is two full, and most women hit that
some point between forty and sixty. You know, we're right there,
and the hormones are a big piece of it. Our
toleration level is not as high as as it was
(25:31):
or even maybe will be again. But then we're also
just we're in the middle mess of life. All the
delicious things are happening to us. And it was like
women would suddenly say, I'm pushing through this workout, but man,
you know I had to recover, like for three days
before I even felt like getting off the couch. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(25:53):
We were not on my time here. If we're going
to change this a little bit, you're supposed to feel
better from the act of size, and we're not going
in the right direction. Nothing wrong with the workout, and
there's nothing wrong with you, it's just pushing you now
this minute through this workout is wrong. So let's back up.
And what we needed to do is just give this
(26:15):
woman bandwidth to deal with the other intensity of her life.
The workout was life for the moment, so we needed
to back the workoff, but workout off. So we did
this reset, restart, and start. For women who haven't exercised
and it's midlife and they don't know exactly what to do,
(26:36):
it's for this purpose of taking ten days to give
them something. So yes, we want you moving. And when
you have a dreamal stress, you're tired but can't sleep,
maybe you're putting on weight your sluggish, wake up feeling
a little hungover, but you didn't have the fun the
night before. Even that is the moment where we need
(26:57):
to reset. And exercise is part of the support for
balancing the adrenals, the cortisol, and blood sugar, but a
different dose of it. So the term exercises medicine is
by two huge entities, the American Medical Association and the
American College to Supports Medicine teamed up to call it that.
(27:20):
So if we treat exercise like medicine, the dose should
go up and down depending on your need, and so
it changed. So hot not bothered is kind of an
answer to let's take a ten day breather here, and
I'm going to give you something to do every day.
Some days it's a workout. We are having you lift
weights or do some agility work. But other days we're
(27:41):
having you do a work in We might have you
do yoga, and that it will be for some of
you strengdu with actually worse than the weights, probably, but
you never know who who's does up. But every day
we're also whispering in your ear to say here's how
this is helping, say your testosterone and growth hormone and
(28:03):
why the time of day that you do this one
really matters, and why if you were to do it
at a different time of day it might not have
the same effect. By the end of this ten days,
it's like you've gone to hormone University related to your exercise,
and you have a far better idea of if I
go back to the program I was doing, I now
(28:25):
know how to manipulate it better so that it fits me.
I'm not just blindly following something.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I love that, and the two are so interconnected and
strategically aligned. I just love this, and you can do
both at the same time. I had only recommended doing
the cortisol reset before the Hot not Bothered challenge for
those that are really needing not that a dreainal reset.
(28:58):
But if you are like most of us, just chronically
tired and just need a boost and things aren't working,
you're not getting the results that you think you should,
you can marriage them and start them at the same time.
So when this will be OCTO starting October first and
November first, is that correct?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
That is correct? And you can get in though anytime,
and so we give some extras. Really you can think
of it as bonuses. So no matter when you come in,
you get into what we call the green room, right
where all the juicy stuff, and there are videos in
there that help prepare you so that you feel even
better before you start the actual one through ten. So
(29:44):
days one through ten, we really really are going to
love on you with the audio, very short, few minute
audio to listen to the workout. And then I'm also
in our Facebook group and doing a little live responding
to question that literally in real time you're asking every day,
so really feeding you. But prior to that, we give
(30:07):
you weights that will or how do I choose my weights?
We give you a video that'll help you do that.
We give you a video that is how do I
substitute an exercise? Like I've got a thing going on
with my knee or my hip, and so if this
exercise comes up, what's my substitute? We give you those
little tools. And then the mobility exercises I think have
(30:28):
to be one of the most favorite things, and we
used to take it away as soon as the challenge
started and people begged us to bring it back. They're like,
that felt so good, could you just put that back out?
So we leave that one out there, but we take
you through some things that really will make you aware
that you were holding tension where you didn't realize you
(30:48):
were holding tension, and suddenly you feel a little more
loose and have more bandwidth even as you get started.
At the end of it, day eleven, we do a
breakthrough session with you just to clear or if anything
that we didn't hit, so again you feel licensed to drive.
But here's the juicy piece. So we charge you sixty
nine dollars to do the challenge. But if you go
(31:10):
through all ten days successfully, we're trying to hold you
accountable to you by the way, to see what I'm
doing here, we'll give it to you if you want
to take a next step as credit that you can
apply toward that next step, and we tell you that
on day eleven what is that next step and let
you know how to apply it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I love this. I am so excited about all of this.
We will have the link below in the show notes.
But Deborah, besides that, and besides the challenge, tell people
where to find you on social media and your website.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Social media, I'm primarily at Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, and
it's at Flipping five zero TV, Flipping fifty TV, so
we're very consistent. And the homepage where website is Flipping
fifty dot com. It's all words spelled out, but if
you punched in numbers, you'd get there.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Thank you so much. I just love you on and
off camera. You're just amazing and such an inspiration. So
thanks again for today, and you guys, this is it
with supplements, diet, sleep, and exercise. I mean, what if
you had all the right pieces but you're doing the
wrong exercises and it doesn't work. This is where we
(32:31):
get all the pieces together. So thanks again, Deborah.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Thank you so much. I'll see you all soon.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
What an amazing way to get a reset.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I'm forty nine, I feel it. I've got kids leaving
the house and then coming back in and they are adults,
and I've got my aging parents and all the things,
and my hormones I'm up with, you know, heat it
up at night and stress. It's something that we're all
dealing with as women. And that's where the Cortisol Reset
(33:06):
Detox pairs so well with the Hot Not Bothered challenge
and just a little backing on the Cortisol Reset five
Core supplements super easy sparks your metabolism and your thyroid
health gets rid of your brain fog helps with fat mobilization.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Fat oxidation resets and gives that adrenals, the adrenals that
battery pack some juice.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
How do you go drive your car if the battery
is dead. That's when triple A comes in. This is
where some of the supplements in the corsol reset will help.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
And you know we use our salt.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Did you know your adrenals use more salt and idine
when they're stressed out and they're so depleted right now
because they're working so hard. And when you're working out
and you're doing the cardio that maybe uses a little
too much, you're sweating out even more salt and iodine,
so you're even more depleted. Your thyroid shuts down, you
stop mobilizing fat, and your body actually says, I need.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
To storm our fat.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
That's not what we want, and we have to address
our liver. No one is addressing the liver when they're
talking about adrenal reset. Nobody. Your liver is where the
thyroid hormones convert. It's where the fat burning happens, It's
where the protein metabolism happens.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
So that you can build your muscle and not lose it.
We want to gain.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That muscle, lean muscle, and burn the fat. I'm not
going to make you big. It's impossible to get bulky
and big right.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
We're not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
But this is where the supplements and Debra's program work
hand in hand. So I hope you are inspired today.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
Are you working out and you're eating clean and what
you did in your twenties isn't working anymore?
Speaker 3 (00:38):
You need to tune in today.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Welcome to Accelerated Health with Saravanta or I cut through
the noise and fast track your journey to better health.
I'm your host, CEO and founder of Accelerated Health Products
and certified by the National Association of Nutritional Professionals. I'm
here to share the latest and supplements, wellness acts, and
natural health solutions. They're actually imagine that from boosting energy
(01:03):
to detoxing to balancing hormones and everything in between. I
will help you reach your goal. So let's dive in.
We have one of my favorite human beings back on,
Debrah Atkinson. She coaches thousands of clients and wellness and
relationships and all the things. But what I love her
(01:25):
for is telling us how to tweak things after fifty
and you know, Welcome Debra. I was actually in a
my yoga class the other morning and it was throw
back Thursday, and my instructor, who's over fifty, she wears
her eighties outfit on the throwback Thursday, just fun and
(01:48):
she's like, these are were my outfits when.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I taught six aerobics classes in a day.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
Right, Oh, yes, So that was our mindset back then,
and it worked when you were six teen and twenty
years old, but not so much anymore.
Speaker 4 (02:03):
Right, so true. So she wore her underwear on the
outside of her outfit.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Okay, good, yeah, and then she was laughing because the
material doesn't breathe like workout the material.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
She couldn't like get it off fast enough.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
It was so funny anyway, and she said it wasn't
for costume. She has it in her closet still.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
She shouldn't say that out Now.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm excited because I'm forty nine and most of the
listeners are over their forties into their fifties, and they
keep cutting calories, they keep talking more, they're starting to
use the weighted vest because that's the thing, and it's
all the things that you're trying to do so that
you don't get to the ozepic or maybe some people do.
(02:52):
And that's a whole other topic. But we're also bothered
by the hot flashes and all of them menopausal symptoms
that were dealing with, and the hormonal changes, and then
our grown kids and our elderly parents that were sandwiched
in between sorts.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Stress level is high, all of these factors. So you
are the key. So where do we start.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You know, the thing is you said weighted best, and
I think that is right now. It's having a moment.
I mean, and I mean you know, a year ago,
I think maybe a year to year and a half ago,
Peter Attia wrote his book and he started talking about
rucking and then everybody's like what is that? And then
weighted best became really the hot thing. And now it's
(03:40):
kind of going through. Let me do we need to reconsider?
Is that really a good idea? And you know, the
whole thing is I think we're all looking for was
that next thing? Next thing? I think sometimes we just
let's clear it all away and this start with the basics.
Let's not be asking what the next thing is before
(04:00):
we have the basics that are the foundation. And for
those women I think self included every once in a while,
I just like strip away and say, wait a minute.
You know, I've got myself on this hamster wheel. I've
got to do this, and I've got to do that
and this, and and then it just becomes, oh my god,
(04:21):
are you kidding? Another thing, like another rule I have
to follow, And it's I think when we strip away
and we come back to basics, what we can do
is quite everything down and while we are you know,
have my favorite is yellow legal pads and posted notes, right,
millions of them all over the place. I've started to
(04:42):
even buy big ones I can put on the wall.
They're very cool. But you know, then I'm showing my
house and the realtors like, could you, you know, take
that down?
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Maybe?
Speaker 4 (04:52):
I mean, God, but let's get back to basics. And
so if we start with just a foundation, there are
things we want to do premenopause that work, and then
perimenopause may not work so well and they may be backfire. Postmenopause,
we can actually get back in the game in a
(05:15):
different way because things smooth out. It's very interesting. But
before we do all that, we have to forget we're
just human, before we're women in Perry and postmenopause, what
do we need as human and what are the basics there?
So if we could start there, we're just foundation building.
I think that's probably the best way to start. And
(05:37):
the number one is how do you feel right now?
That's your data? You know, if we were you know,
research teams and we were reading the results and the report,
the first thing that we need to know is what
data do we have? So do you feel good based
on the habits that you most recently have had. Probably
what you've been doing for the last three to six
(05:58):
weeks is giving you the result you have right now,
even if you've made a major change you've started to
either it's going now in the right direction, or it's
going further and you feel worse and something's backfire like that,
Like not everybody can do keto. Some people do really
well on it, but not everybody does. And so I
(06:19):
think first of all, starting there, and then once you're there,
looking at where do we stand the most room for change?
And it's probably somewhere in what we're eating and how
we're sleeping, because those things really take precedence. The exercise
unfortunately hasn't gotten to the top of the mountain yet.
(06:43):
That we say. I think many of us maybe still
say it's more like flossing than brushing your teeth. We
need it to be more like brushing your teeth, like
you wouldn't not do that. You might skip flossing, but
we really need to think of exercise and moving every
day as it's brushing our teeth. We need to do it,
(07:04):
and we don't have the luxury of saying I'm really
busy today, so I'll do it tomorrow, not anymore. And
we don't want to necessarily go really hard every day.
We don't want to get breathless every day. We don't
want to lift weights to muscular fatigue every day. We
have to have the recovery, but we do want to
move every day in some way. And at the end
(07:26):
of that we should say, oh my gosh, so invigorated
and I feel like my brain is really firing and
I'm functioning better because I'm doing that. And when your
program is not giving you that, then it's probably the
data is saying based on the moment you're in in life,
collectively your hormones, your older aging parents, and your young
(07:52):
kids who are all leaning on you all the things,
it's just not working. Right now. It doesn't mean that
in a month or in a week, in three months
that you might not come back to this, but right
now is not the time to do it. For you
to get the optimal in your fitness level, we've got
to make changes pivots.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And the other thing is too change confuses the body
and keeps your body on its toes, because if you
keep doing the same thing over and over and over again,
even if it's right for right now, it's going to
lose its effect. And that's happened to me a million
times over right you're like, oh wait a second, that
(08:33):
two mile run after my lifting session really made me
feel amazing, and then diminishing returns, diminishing returns, and then
it's like I have to do it just to stay
at baseline. So, Deborah, I loved what you said about
the fact that you might have to pull away from
certain things during perimenopause, but then you can come back
(08:55):
to them, which is something that actually would not make sense.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But can you go through that a little bit.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
It's truly not into it right. Well, if we follow
traditionally what previous generations have done, we've all believed you
get older and you slow down, and you know the
meme is correct. We slow down because we stop moving.
It's not that we're just age alone what we're finding.
And I think we don't have enough research, We don't
(09:24):
have enough examples. We have a few, but we all
keep sharing them, right, We see them on our timeline
all the time. Julia, bless her heart, who's over one
hundred and sprints. You know, we keep passing her around
because she's amazing, But she's one of a kind. We
could all be that if we wanted to. And look,
I mean some of us haven't wanted to sprint when
(09:47):
we were forty, so we're probably not going to sprint
when we're one hundred also, you know, but what we
need to keep in mind is that when hormones stabilize
after menopause, it doesn't matter if you are doing HRT
or not. They are no longer on a roller coaster ride.
They're not floating up and down the way they are
(10:10):
when trending downward estrogen. But we were going through cycles
still during perimenopause. That's over, so it's much more of
a predictable ride. We know our blood sugar is not
going to go up and down quite so much doesn't
mean we don't have stressors coming in from life that
is causing havoc. Then that will as long as we
(10:30):
have a heartbeat and meaningful people and things in our lives,
that will happen. So be thankful for it if it's
still happening to you, because otherwise it's probably a pretty
lonely lie. But we want to realize that we're older,
we're losing more muscle mass or more likely if we
sit still, and we need to fight for our bone
(10:53):
as well. So we actually need greater amounts of stimulus
in our sixties than we did in our fifties and
definitely our forties where we needed to keep moving, but
we just needed to make sure we weren't throwing our
adrenals and cortisol under the bus.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
Right, And we talked about for those of you who
missed it, I was on Debra's show talking about cortisol
and stress and how that will affect your results, whether
it's in the gym and your diet. And so it's
a three legged prom You cannot do one without the
other two. You can't outwork out a bad diet, you
(11:30):
can't out an overwhelmed level of stress.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
And adrenal fatigue.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So you've got to address all these things. And we
talked about the weighted vest. But one other thing that
people are really question mean is the ten thousand steps.
And I've got people that say, Sarah, I hit twenty
thousand steps, and then you think, well, how's that working
for you?
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Right?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
So exactly is this a goal of every woman over fifty?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
No, I think not. I think the very first thing
is to yes, you should move every day. That's really
at the base of our platform and our foundation. We
want movement every day because we can't lift every day,
we can't go high intensity interval training every day. The
body needs recovery from those really hard things. They're important,
but then so is the recovery between them. But the
(12:22):
thing that should be a stable is movement every day.
So for some of us who can, our ankles, knees
and hips will let us we can go walking, and
the temperature outside will also let us. It's not odark
hundred or or it's safe. We know that we can
do it. So yes, but walking is important. But if
(12:43):
say you're getting those twenty thousand steps, And I got
a woman on a call the other day, I said
I got thirty thousand today, and I'm like, well, you
can't keep you can't keep escalating that. I mean, you
can't tomorrow say no, I have to get thirty thousand
because I have a new bar. It is like the
return on the investment of the time and the energy
(13:03):
is probably not there. And although it's probably not as
damaging as if you were running a marathon every day
and that extreme at higher intensity exercise, we still could
be causing adrenal fatigue. It's hard to keep up with that,
the caloric intake and output. And then you have to
(13:24):
look at is it creating a greater appetite like cravings
as opposed to a healthy appetite. Is it making you
so tired you actually can't sleep as opposed to benefiting
your sleep. So those are things to look at. How's
your libido when you walk thirty thousand steps? I mean
I would say, I think, sonnybit, you know, I'm good.
(13:47):
You know I had a good walk today. I don't
really need this, you know, And that's really not where
you want to go every day. But now you know,
I love the idea of going for a long hike
and doing that, but you wouldn't necessarily want to do
that every day. So this sweet spot I think is
between about six thousand and seven thousand, you know, and
(14:08):
if you're right now at four thousand, I would try
to bump that up a little bit, just, you know
a little bit. Every day you're seeking here's my bar
this week, I'm going to shoot for a little bit
more and work your way up so you have stamina
and endurance to do it. But when you're at six
to seven thousand, now let's look first. Are you also
lifting weights at least twice weekly? And can you also
(14:34):
one to four times, depending on where you're at perimenopause
to postmenopause. Can you get breathless a few times during
a session, go all out, recover completely, and go all
out again, like you're crossing the finish line. It's just
a second thing. It's not minutes long. And if you're
(14:54):
doing that and you have time and bandwidth and energy,
then by all means if you want to walk or
walk more, But I would not fill up your time
and energy in walking only without those other things.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Thirty thousand steps, what else are you doing during the day.
Speaker 4 (15:13):
I think it was very work related, So I don't
know if she's in a warehouse or what she's doing.
But there seems to be a work component to it.
But you know how we are, Sarah. If we get
it in our head that I need to go for
a walk, it doesn't matter if you're also walking at work.
Sometimes we don't allow everything to go in a bucket.
(15:37):
We don't think of it all as steps. We think
of it as no, no, no, I need the exercise,
you know then, and really with steps, we are finding
all steps count, they count pretty equally.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Yeah, I love my ten to thirty minute walk after dinner,
and it is a stroll with my they're sniffing, they're
stopping me, but it's an around sunset and I feel
my body just and my cortisol come down. I'm really
appreciating the day that it's just more of this restorative
(16:16):
walk and I think I get a lot more out
of that than a power walk with a weight vest.
Not that's not okay too. So we're talking about, you know,
the in the twenties, the aerobic bunnies that we used
to be, and now we're not supposed to do cardio
(16:37):
any oh anymore. But that's not necessarily true too. There's
a way to do it, but it's strategic. Can you
talk about that and how it fits into the weekly plan?
Speaker 4 (16:47):
Absolutely? And I think, first of all, as funny as
this seems, because we've been saying cardio our entire adult lives,
let's define it for a second. What falls under that umbrella?
And I would say this is not actually scientific, but broadly,
you know, I would put everything in there where your
heart rate is up and you're breathing harder. So from walking,
(17:11):
you know, at your self selected pace, not trying to
reach a certain per mile pace, you're just going for
a walk. Even that is cardio. You're off the couch,
your heart is beating harder than it would if you
were sitting down and sedentary, if you were jogging, if
you were running, or your equivalent, you could be on
elliptical or a bike, and so don't get caught up
(17:31):
in the activity. And then if you're literally sprinting you're
going as hard as possible, that actually is cardio. It
could fall under that, but we start distinguishing between aerobic,
meaning we could do it for a very long time repeatedly.
We can sustain ourselves breathing in, breathing out, and go
for miles or hours. But when it's anaerobic, we can't
(17:55):
go very far. When it's anaerobic, we can go for
seconds and then have to stop. That is literally sprinting
to the end. We don't have that same pace in
a hole race that we have at the last thirty
yards of that race. That's really anaerobic and that we
actually need some event. As we age, we lose that
(18:17):
capacity to get breathless. But in terms of cardio, I
think of it as zone training, and again we got
a little comfortable with it. That term kept being thrown
around Zone two and less instead define it. How does
this feel? So? Zone two feels like you're breathing a
little bit through your nose and your mouth both kind
(18:40):
of a seesa back and forth. You don't have to
you're not huffing and puffing in it's only mouth. It's
not that yet. But you're also not just walking as
tiny little dog and breathing entirely through your nose. You
know you're exercising, you know you're moving on purpose, but
you are still very comfortable. You can have a conversation.
(19:03):
You and I would go for a walk. We're going
to talk very comfortably. You know, if we were going uphill,
it might get a little bit harder, and I'd be
asking you questions strategically so you could talk and I
could listen, you know, and I get a little chance
to catch my breath. But that's zone two, and we
plan it so that, yes, you're just bumping into that
(19:23):
place where you're not uncomfortable at all. You might at
the top, and we call this cardiac drift, and that
means if you go too long, and those of us
that love it are most guilty of this. We allow
ourselves to go into what we refer to as physiologists
zone three, and zone three training is what we also
(19:46):
call in the back of the room, no benefits zone.
There's not really much good happening in there. It's the
point where for women midlife particularly, we start elevating or
escalating our cortisol levels at about forty five to sixty minutes,
and then they don't have that corresponding declined after they
(20:09):
maintain the elevation. And that's where everybody gets a little
uproar us. Right now, cortisol is not the problem, and
exercise doesn't cause cortisol. People will say, well, it does,
and it's supposed to. By the way, it's not a
bad thing. Cortisol is energy, and your body will when
you start to exercise, convert things to cortisol so that
(20:31):
you have energy to exercise. It is absolutely scientifically supposed
to happen. But what happens is it should go up
and should come down. That's the rule, right, But what
happens when we stay in that middle zone too long,
our cortisol goes up during the exercise and your body
really has a struggle to adapt, and so afterward it's
(20:54):
more chronically elevated the rest of the day. And if
you find you still love going out for that five
or six mile run right at around an hour or longer,
for the rest of you, you're probably not responding as
well to it. Now might be putting on a little
belly fat. You come back and you feel sluggish. You
never have that euphoric high. It just feels flat, like
(21:19):
you pushed through it and you can do it, but
it's not really if you admit it, feeling is good
and that is nothing you're doing wrong, and your fitness
level is not necessarily suffering. What you would want to
substitute instead is do more of the walking regularly. Lower level,
because that's below the threshold cortisol comes in. In fact,
(21:42):
when we're walking, cortisol tends to go down, so you're
even better off after a walk than you were before.
But the other piece we want is very much at
the top of the pyramid, the icing on the cake,
where we're getting breathless, and we're getting breathless in about
thirty seconds or less, and then we recover completely and
(22:02):
we do that again on to repeat, and that is
called interval training. And that's a whole alphabet soup, by
the way, So I hesitate to say it. Some people
call it hits. Some people call it sprint interval training.
Some people call it hurt high intensity repeat training. None
of those are wrong. But what is true is focus
on how you're feeling. You get breathless in thirty seconds
(22:25):
or less, you recover completely between so that you're actually
working at your capacity. None of this tabata, you know,
or I hesitate to say it, but I'm going to
do it. Orange theory where they're telling you go again,
go again, because if you're not completely recovered, and you're
(22:46):
a woman in midlife, we're probably going to be more
at risk for getting hurt. Injured and we're not working
at capacity anymore. It absolutely feels hard, but you're not
actually working at you your personal hardest, and that's when
you'll get fit.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Right. Yeah, And it makes so much sense. But we've
been taught that we just need to be breathless.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
All the time. You feel like we're.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Working hard, and it's something that we just have to
get out of our heads.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
I feel that my.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Cortisol come down when I walk after dinner on that stroll.
That it is magnificent. It is probably the best therapy
and it's free. Imagine that right.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Well, before we.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Get to the end, I want to make sure we
talk about the Hot Not Bothered challenge because I think
this is going to be amazing for my audience, especially
coming off of the cortisol reset detox of September, to
push this into to follow it with this challenge in
October where your body's been reset and now ready to go.
(24:00):
We've got the metabolism and the thyroid and the and
the adrenals working. And by the way, if anyone missed
out on the cortisol reset, you can start at at
any time and you can do it at the same
time as the Hot Not Bothered challenge. But Deborah talk
about the inspiration behind this and what we can expect
(24:23):
from joining.
Speaker 4 (24:26):
You know, the first inspiration was, you know, we collectively
began to have about one thousand women in our membership.
And when you have when you have a collective of
that many women, you start to see patterns and trends. Now,
you know, it's not just one woman or two or three.
Now it's like, okay, wait a minute. And it wasn't
(24:47):
a if it was when when women were going to
hit get hit by you know, I think we've got
this bucket, and you know, we can take a lot in.
We can take the aging parents and the caregiving, and
we can take the stressful job and the project and
the move and the oh yeah, we got this. And
then and then hormones changing go in there. We can't
(25:10):
even control that. But at some point we're we're tipping over.
Our bucket is two full, and most women hit that
some point between forty and sixty. You know, we're right there,
and the hormones are a big piece of it. Our
toleration level is not as high as as it was
(25:31):
or even maybe will be again. But then we're also
just we're in the middle mess of life. All the
delicious things are happening to us. And it was like
women would suddenly say, I'm pushing through this workout, but man,
you know I had to recover, like for three days
before I even felt like getting off the couch. I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa.
(25:53):
We were not on my time here. If we're going
to change this a little bit, you're supposed to feel
better from the act of size, and we're not going
in the right direction. Nothing wrong with the workout, and
there's nothing wrong with you, it's just pushing you now
this minute through this workout is wrong. So let's back up.
And what we needed to do is just give this
(26:15):
woman bandwidth to deal with the other intensity of her life.
The workout was life for the moment, so we needed
to back the workoff, but workout off. So we did
this reset, restart, and start. For women who haven't exercised
and it's midlife and they don't know exactly what to do,
(26:36):
it's for this purpose of taking ten days to give
them something. So yes, we want you moving. And when
you have a dreamal stress, you're tired but can't sleep,
maybe you're putting on weight your sluggish, wake up feeling
a little hungover, but you didn't have the fun the
night before. Even that is the moment where we need
(26:57):
to reset. And exercise is part of the support for
balancing the adrenals, the cortisol, and blood sugar, but a
different dose of it. So the term exercises medicine is
by two huge entities, the American Medical Association and the
American College to Supports Medicine teamed up to call it that.
(27:20):
So if we treat exercise like medicine, the dose should
go up and down depending on your need, and so
it changed. So hot not bothered is kind of an
answer to let's take a ten day breather here, and
I'm going to give you something to do every day.
Some days it's a workout. We are having you lift
weights or do some agility work. But other days we're
(27:41):
having you do a work in We might have you
do yoga, and that it will be for some of
you strengdu with actually worse than the weights, probably, but
you never know who who's does up. But every day
we're also whispering in your ear to say here's how
this is helping, say your testosterone and growth hormone and
(28:03):
why the time of day that you do this one
really matters, and why if you were to do it
at a different time of day it might not have
the same effect. By the end of this ten days,
it's like you've gone to hormone University related to your exercise,
and you have a far better idea of if I
go back to the program I was doing, I now
(28:25):
know how to manipulate it better so that it fits me.
I'm not just blindly following something.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
I love that, and the two are so interconnected and
strategically aligned. I just love this, and you can do
both at the same time. I had only recommended doing
the cortisol reset before the Hot not Bothered challenge for
those that are really needing not that a dreainal reset.
(28:58):
But if you are like most of us, just chronically
tired and just need a boost and things aren't working,
you're not getting the results that you think you should,
you can marriage them and start them at the same time.
So when this will be OCTO starting October first and
November first, is that correct?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
That is correct? And you can get in though anytime,
and so we give some extras. Really you can think
of it as bonuses. So no matter when you come in,
you get into what we call the green room, right
where all the juicy stuff, and there are videos in
there that help prepare you so that you feel even
better before you start the actual one through ten. So
(29:44):
days one through ten, we really really are going to
love on you with the audio, very short, few minute
audio to listen to the workout. And then I'm also
in our Facebook group and doing a little live responding
to question that literally in real time you're asking every day,
so really feeding you. But prior to that, we give
(30:07):
you weights that will or how do I choose my weights?
We give you a video that'll help you do that.
We give you a video that is how do I
substitute an exercise? Like I've got a thing going on
with my knee or my hip, and so if this
exercise comes up, what's my substitute? We give you those
little tools. And then the mobility exercises I think have
(30:28):
to be one of the most favorite things, and we
used to take it away as soon as the challenge
started and people begged us to bring it back. They're like,
that felt so good, could you just put that back out?
So we leave that one out there, but we take
you through some things that really will make you aware
that you were holding tension where you didn't realize you
(30:48):
were holding tension, and suddenly you feel a little more
loose and have more bandwidth even as you get started.
At the end of it, day eleven, we do a
breakthrough session with you just to clear or if anything
that we didn't hit, so again you feel licensed to drive.
But here's the juicy piece. So we charge you sixty
nine dollars to do the challenge. But if you go
(31:10):
through all ten days successfully, we're trying to hold you
accountable to you by the way, to see what I'm
doing here, we'll give it to you if you want
to take a next step as credit that you can
apply toward that next step, and we tell you that
on day eleven what is that next step and let
you know how to apply it.
Speaker 2 (31:30):
I love this. I am so excited about all of this.
We will have the link below in the show notes.
But Deborah, besides that, and besides the challenge, tell people
where to find you on social media and your website.
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Social media, I'm primarily at Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube, and
it's at Flipping five zero TV, Flipping fifty TV, so
we're very consistent. And the homepage where website is Flipping
fifty dot com. It's all words spelled out, but if
you punched in numbers, you'd get there.
Speaker 3 (32:08):
Amazing.
Speaker 2 (32:09):
Thank you so much. I just love you on and
off camera. You're just amazing and such an inspiration. So
thanks again for today, and you guys, this is it
with supplements, diet, sleep, and exercise. I mean, what if
you had all the right pieces but you're doing the
wrong exercises and it doesn't work. This is where we
(32:31):
get all the pieces together. So thanks again, Deborah.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
Thank you so much. I'll see you all soon.
Speaker 3 (32:39):
What an amazing way to get a reset.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
I'm forty nine, I feel it. I've got kids leaving
the house and then coming back in and they are adults,
and I've got my aging parents and all the things,
and my hormones I'm up with, you know, heat it
up at night and stress. It's something that we're all
dealing with as women. And that's where the Cortisol Reset
(33:06):
Detox pairs so well with the Hot Not Bothered challenge
and just a little backing on the Cortisol Reset five
Core supplements super easy sparks your metabolism and your thyroid
health gets rid of your brain fog helps with fat mobilization.
Speaker 3 (33:24):
Fat oxidation resets and gives that adrenals, the adrenals that
battery pack some juice.
Speaker 2 (33:33):
How do you go drive your car if the battery
is dead. That's when triple A comes in. This is
where some of the supplements in the corsol reset will help.
Speaker 3 (33:43):
And you know we use our salt.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Did you know your adrenals use more salt and idine
when they're stressed out and they're so depleted right now
because they're working so hard. And when you're working out
and you're doing the cardio that maybe uses a little
too much, you're sweating out even more salt and iodine,
so you're even more depleted. Your thyroid shuts down, you
stop mobilizing fat, and your body actually says, I need.
Speaker 3 (34:08):
To storm our fat.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
That's not what we want, and we have to address
our liver. No one is addressing the liver when they're
talking about adrenal reset. Nobody. Your liver is where the
thyroid hormones convert. It's where the fat burning happens, It's
where the protein metabolism happens.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
So that you can build your muscle and not lose it.
We want to gain.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
That muscle, lean muscle, and burn the fat. I'm not
going to make you big. It's impossible to get bulky
and big right.
Speaker 3 (34:39):
We're not going to do that.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
But this is where the supplements and Debra's program work
hand in hand. So I hope you are inspired today.
