Speaker 1 (00:00):
Nine.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Okay and we are live.
Welcome everybody to episodenumber nine of the Tummy
Whisperer podcast.
I'm so excited to haveeverybody here today.
I figured it would be aproposto jump right into holiday time,
(00:23):
since it's almost Halloween.
People are already thinkingabout should they even go to the
store and get the Snickers barsor not.
So my husband and I live in anice community but we don't get
a lot of trick-or-treaters.
So for the past several yearswe just opted out of getting
candy.
So you know, if you don't buyit and it's not in the house,
(00:48):
you're not tempted.
But don't you havetrick-or-treaters?
Well, I don't know.
We don't have a lot of kids inthis community and our the way
our subdivision is laid out isjust, we have like one street
that goes into our complex, sowe still get a lot of foot
traffic really from neighborhoodchildren.
Plus, we're off of a busystreet.
So, believe me, it's a blessing, but you know it's so hard.
(01:14):
It's so hard when you have thecandy in the house because you
maybe you just want one and thenone turns into seven and seven
can turn into the whole box, andI've got story after story of
how it just starts opening upthat part of the brain that's
like I need more, I need more, Ineed more, so, so harder.
It's the sugar, right?
So how do we kind of dive intoholiday preparation and it's not
(01:38):
even so much preparation, butit's having again awareness
around what are we eating andhow do we get ourselves through
the holidays without having togo off the rails and off the
deep end and feel horriblebecause we have to kind of push
through it?
Or feeling that person that'sshowing up to Aunt Betty's house
with their own gluten-freepumpkin pie, which, hey, there's
(01:58):
nothing wrong with doing that,because I guarantee you, aunt
Betty and everyone else willlove the pie.
I mean, whole Foods even hasevery year they have a cherry,
apple, pumpkin, chocolate,gluten-free frozen pie that you
can get.
You know I'm making, I'm cookingthis year, but but again, I
want to kind of talk about whatit looks like for people to
(02:21):
start to take a little bit ofresponsibility for your eating.
You know, just take a littlebit of responsibility.
Don't put yourself in themindset of, hey, it's the
holidays and I mean, I've beendoing this for almost 20 years.
You can imagine some of thelame excuses I've heard, and
I've again myself as well too.
Hey, it's, it's a holiday.
(02:43):
But if you could just start tomake some kind of change for the
better and help reduce thelevel of inflammation in your
body by what you're putting in,you're only helping yourself be
healthy and longer.
I know it's so much aboutinstant gratification in the
moment.
Right, just have a bite of this, have a bite of that and you'll
be okay.
(03:03):
And people a lot of times aren'tthinking about the long-term
big picture, especially if theyfeel halfway decent.
But for people that aren'tfeeling great and are kind of
already thinking about theseholidays and how they're going
to figure out how to roll outHalloween, thanksgiving,
christmas, new Year's and then,of course, resolution start and
hopefully people aren't way offthe deep end by that point.
(03:24):
What do we do?
So I wanted to go through sometips and some suggestions.
In Janine you can pipe inbecause you pull the trigger on
gluten.
I know you're going to haveyour holidays gluten-free.
You may have a bite ofsomething because you already
know that if you eat it, youalready know how poorly you feel
.
So for the people that don'tknow that gluten is an issue, it
(03:47):
might be worth trying somegluten-free things and seeing if
you like them.
That's the invitation to startdoing that.
For everybody else who knowsthat gluten is an issue, there's
so many good gluten-free thingsout there.
It's worth trying to figure outif you can make gluten-free
things.
So everyone tells me, you know,thanksgiving is so hard because
everything's full of gluten.
(04:07):
Well, it's really not.
The only thing that's gluten isstuffing.
That's it.
Sweet potato casserole, youknow.
Turkey and vegetables care.
I mean all the stuff that's.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And if you make the stuffing with gluten-free bread,
no one's going to know that itwas gluten-free bread in the
stomach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No one's going to know or really care Exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh, I mean gluten, and you don't have to tell
anybody, Just be like, this issuper healthy, because if I say
this is healthy or gluten-free,people don't want to eat it.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But if you don't tell them that it's healthy, then
you know, that's what I tell myparents who are working with
their kids.
You know, and they're like Idon't tell little Tommy that hey
, try this gluten-free bread.
Just be like oh, here you go.
And then they don't even knowand they're like yummy.
I have story after story ofpeople telling me from family
members saying they triedsomething that was gluten-free.
(04:57):
The minute the family membertold them it was gluten-free,
they're like oh, I don't like it.
Yep, you just said you liked ita minute ago.
I changed my mind, really.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
OK, so true.
And if so many things aregluten-free that people don't
realize potatoes, rice there'sso many things.
You can have mashed potatoes,yes, and have a nice flavored
botsamadhi or jasmine rice as aside and be flavorful.
(05:32):
You don't have to sacrificetaste just because it's
healthier.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And that's the thing.
People think they'resacrificing taste or they think
they're missing something.
I had a friend tell me oncethat her boyfriend said I need
to have gluten in my life.
I was like why does he feel heneeds to have gluten in his life
?
He didn't really even know whatit is.
But it's a mental thing thatsomething's being taken away
from you and it's not.
(05:58):
So.
You and I soapbox about glutenalmost every episode, but I
really want to talk to you aboutmore preparation with sugar
cravings, what to do around whenyou're wanting something sweet.
So if you are in the unfortunatesituation of having Trick or
Treaters, we'll go back toHalloween and having the candy
in the house.
Hide it, law yourself maybejust one piece or something and
(06:22):
see if you can have some fruitwith it.
Maybe if you have a Reese'sPeanut Butter Cup.
Peanut butter and apples is athing, so why not have a Reese's
Peanut Butter Cup with an appleto get yourself that fiber, so
that you're more full, insteadof having four Reese's pieces,
reese's Peanut Butter Cups ormaybe a banana, or something you
(06:44):
could even do if you're goingto do Snickers which again we
talked about last episode, withthe bioengineered ingredients in
Snickers.
If you end up falling privy toone accidentally falling in your
mouth, cut a half of a greenapple and you've got a caramel
Snickers apple there.
(07:04):
Or get something healthy, ormake a caramel apple, get some
good caramel sauce and some.
They make the.
I think it's the enjoy lifecompany that makes like a non
allergen chocolate chunks andchocolate chips and can kind of
roll it in there and giveyourself something that's less
chemical.
Start thinking in terms of lesschemicals in the body.
(07:27):
I think that's probably a goodplace for people to start.
So what's wrong with theSnickers?
Bioengineered ingredients?
Can you make something that'ssimilar to that?
Sure, you can get some almondsor some nuts and some caramel
and some of those, like I said,enjoy life chips.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I've got-.
I think that's a great idea,renee, and I also think, like,
if people are worried and theyare trick or treating, buy what.
You would feel that you're okayeating so mixed bags of the
little nuts.
Like if you have that andyou're giving that out to the
kids, they're not giving youcandy, you're giving them that,
so you don't have to buy, youdon't have to keep that in your
(08:01):
house because you're only giving.
Or my favorite snack in theworld.
You're gonna make a face, buthonestly, it's gotten me through
.
It's gotten me through.
Everything is a Slim Jim orsome beef jerky, because-.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
No, perfect it's like Because it's-.
I think we froze.
Oops, I think we froze.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Here we are there, you are here, I am, so we were
talking about Slim Jims and beefjerkeys.
Yes, slim Jims and beef jerkeys.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And those are fine, I mean if you can get a cleanish
one.
You know the gas station oneshave a lot of chemicals in them
too.
But true, um, nix sticks, orthey've got those chomps bars.
What's that?
There's 10,000 clean sources ofa of a Slim Jim or a beef stick
and they're healthier than Imean.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They come in their own little individual packs.
You can hand those out.
It's a.
It's a healthier snack.
Obviously, you know it's kindof hard to get fruit and
vegetables when you're trick ortreating to kids.
Yeah, these days.
Yeah, you don't want to do that, but right, because it's
packaged.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
you know it's like you know it's like you know,
it's like you know.
You know I was going to say youknow, remember, hold your
thought.
Whole Foods I was just talkingabout this with my holistic
dentist because her daughter'slike loves the sour stuff Whole
Foods has that line of goodearth and they make the gummies
(09:39):
and they make M&Ms that are.
The coating on them is likefrom beets and from fruits and
vegetables, but it's made fromfruit and vegetables.
So YUM earth, y U M E A R T H.
I bet people can order thatfrom Amazon.
I always do see it at WholeFoods.
Um Woodmans has some of it too,but they've got the healthier
(10:01):
versions of the crappy candy.
So if you got, get that stuffon your house.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know, get the good stuff get the yum earth
stuff that's clean.
That sounds like a really goodidea, and when you are talking
about that, it sounds like somesugar content.
If it's dehydrated fruit, atleast it's.
I mean, at least you're eatinga dehydrated apricot.
It's still healthier than aSnickers bar right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, that's for sure , and I think there's a lot of
those.
Again, I'm saying I always talkabout Whole Foods.
Some of those companies makethose little packages of fruit.
There's the fruit rollups too.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh, yeah, the organic ones.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Organic.
The rollups, that, yeah, andthey're mostly gluten free and I
love ones that Whole.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Foods are gluten free .
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's what I love about them they're they're
really healthy.
You know it's a lot of sugar,but you know kids got to have
something Again.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
it's better than genetically modified chemicals.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's it.
That's it.
So start thinking, guys, interms of, like, putting the
healthier stuff you know in thehouse for not only just
Halloween, but when you need alittle something.
There's that.
Um, there's also a.
Again, you know, there's a lotof stuff that's more than six or
seven ingredients on the box.
(11:21):
Steer clear.
You know, ron, you want stuffthat's more, that's closest to
nature.
So, like those fruit rollups, Ithink they only have like four
ingredients the fruit water, alittle sugar, something else in
there, like a citric acid orsomething to stabilize it.
But but yeah, start watchingand paying attention to the
ingredients.
Jeanine, you've seen the boxesand stuff that have like 12 to
(11:44):
20 ingredients in there.
So that's another sign that itprobably, if you can't pronounce
it, you probably shouldn't beeating it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Hold on, can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, at least I'm here.
It's okay.
Yeah, sight unseen, but I'mhere.
Okay, there, you are no ideawhat's going on, but I'm Anyway.
Okay, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's okay.
So if you can't pronounce it,don't eat it.
That's where we were.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, you can't pronounce it, don't eat it.
And also, those are greatthings to just keep in your If
you're a woman or you know, evenif you're not a fear of man and
you want to bring a bag and putit in your car.
but if you're hungry, bringsomething with you.
Don't make it an excuse oh,they didn't have anything I
could eat.
Well, they're not responsiblefor you and your health.
(12:43):
You're responsible for yourhealth, right, Thank you.
So if you want a healthy snack,you have to bring that snack.
No one's going to bring it foryou.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
What I would bring it for you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, you and I would be courteous to that because we
we are on that path.
But a lot of times people makethe mistake because when I
worked in weight loss theyalways used to say obesity is a
disease of procrastination.
And honestly it is, and it's away for people to make excuses,
unfortunately, of why they can'tdo well over the holidays, and
(13:20):
people are terrified of thistime of year if they're
overweight.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, I mean they are .
And this kind of ties into whatwe talked about last week,
about taking little, teeny, tinysteps just to try to help
yourself and not having to feellike you have to do everything
all at once, which cripples youand you become a daring
headlight and then you donothing right Because you say,
(13:45):
screw it, I can't.
No, take a tiny little bit ofsomething, do something
different for 30 days, and ifyou only do it for 10 days and
you fall off, do it then againfor another 20 and then you've
done your 30.
It's not Nobody's keeping score, nobody's holding a gun to your
head.
This is about taking a littlebit of responsibility for
(14:08):
yourself so that you can betteryour health and avoid hospitals,
ers, doctors.
I'm not saying that we don'tneed doctors, because we
certainly do, but we don't wantto have to go right Because
there's something wrong.
We want to use them formaintenance and our checkups,
(14:30):
for that type of thing right, Iagree.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I agree the less I have to go to a doctor because
I'm symptomatic of something,the better.
It's one thing to go for yourannual checkup and be excited
because you haven't had to gothe entire year, and that's
exciting.
It's like, yes, yes, that's adoctor's dream.
A good doctor, a good doctor,yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And it's funny that you say that because, like my
little puppy, who's going to bethree, puppies get all kinds of
stuff.
They get kennel cough and allthat stuff and he got all the
puppy stuff.
And you know me, I cook for himand he eats pretty clean and
even though he had bladderinfections in Cuck City and all
the stuff as a young guy, I havehim on his probiotics.
He's on clean food.
He gets part of our smoothieevery day, whatever he hasn't
(15:17):
had anything wrong with him in ayear and a half and nothing.
I mean, he gets a little houndtummy right, cause hounds have
sensitive stomachs.
So if I give him you know somekind of weird animal thing that
I buy that grosses Mark out likeI have dehydrated chicken feet
and he's like, oh, get that outof here.
I'm like gladly give it to thedog.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's hilarious, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I've got little chicken hearts.
I've got buffalo lungs in thehouse.
Yeah, I got all kinds of stufffor the dog.
He's a lucky boy, but my pointis he's not even Snickers.
Clearly I wouldn't let him Dogscan't have chocolate but
because his diet is pretty good,he doesn't get really sick, he
doesn't have immune issues, hedoesn't get kennel cough again
(16:03):
and he's around a lot of dogs.
He goes to a daycare and he'spretty healthy.
So you know he doesn't have achoice, right?
He eats what we give him, butfor us it's the same thing.
You know, we really need tostart paying attention to what
we want for our future healthwise.
Do we want to lose time withour family because we're sick
(16:26):
and we can't go somewhere?
I mean, these are definitelythings to think about.
So again, I'm here to answerquestions.
I love questions.
You guys can email me, you canreach me at thetummywhisperercom
, happy to answer questions andgive people a sort of starting
(16:47):
set point and put them on a pathto better health.
As we're talking about holidays, whether you're hosting or
you're going somewhere, if youare going to go somewhere, bring
a dish, bring something thatyou can share that may be
healthy, even a one pot meal.
You're familiar with the termone pot meal, where you just
throw the meat, you throw therice, you throw the veggies, you
(17:10):
got the grains in there, yougot a full soups, you know a
stew, bring it, bring that, andmaybe that's your meal.
You have some turkey, you havesome sides, you bring a little
sweets to share you know, becreative.
I have a lot of my clients whodo like to bake and they like to
cook not the majority, but somecan really throw it out in the
(17:31):
kitchen and they'll grab theKing Arthur's gluten-free flour,
coconut flour, and make cookiesLike even for my Frisbee league
is so amazing.
My birthday was early Octoberand Alex brought me some
gluten-free pumpkin muffins thatwere so good.
She said they were really easyto make.
She used the coconut flour,almond flour, egg, I think, a
(17:53):
few of it, the pumpkin cinnamon.
They were delicious and youknow it's so easy.
It didn't take her long.
It was so nice of them to dothat for me and you know it's
just, it's easy to do.
That's what I'm saying.
It's easy to do.
If you want to make it decadent, throw some frosting on there.
You know, get some frosting,make your own frosting and do it
like a chocolate pumpkin muffinor something.
Does that sound good it?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
sounds great and I I mean I've done every diet out
there, but not that this is.
I mean they call it, you know,like a fat bomb or a keto bomb,
but it's you know healthier.
Healthier because you're usingreal ingredients.
Like maybe you go to WholeFoods and you get peanut butter
that you grind, that it's justthe actual peanuts.
Or you get some oil and now withthe oil and stuff like that,
(18:37):
and then you can make your own.
You know fat bombs that you putin the freezer and things along
that nature that's healthier, asweet or an alternative that
you can bring.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yes, then something you know, I've got a recipe from
a coach of mine for you.
It is a carnivore cheesecakeand so I'll send you the recipe.
It's eggs and heavy whippingcream and maple syrup and a
farmer's cheese, I mean, andlike I haven't made it, but I
(19:09):
think I want to.
But it's just, she said her andher husband, she made the
mistake of making it and thenwe're just gonna have, like they
had a piece and they're likeokay, one more, one more piece,
and the pieces were slivers.
Well, that's where you, that'swhere you fuck off.
Don't cut yourself a sliver,guys.
Since you think you're doingyourself a justice, cut yourself
a honkin' piece, eat it and bedone.
Well, I mean, their piece isturned into the whole cheesecake
(19:34):
.
It's not a big one, it's.
You know, they were both prettysick the next day, but they
couldn't stop.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
So yummy I love.
Now, cheesecake is a weaknessof mine, since I haven't been
doing dairy.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I wonder what alternatives there are to that.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Well, the farmer's cheese is supposed to be okay.
I don't know.
I'll ask her about it next timeI talk to her.
But you know, there again,there's a lot of things that you
can do that are reallydelicious, and I mean gosh, you
can just Google anything interms of how to make a sweet
treat, a cookie, a muffin, youknow a soup of if you're like
gluten-free soups, gluten-freecasseroles noodles, I mean.
(20:14):
There's just so many thingsthat you can do.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's endless and you know, I just that sounds like a
great well, you can do avegetable casserole with like
gluten-free noodles and makelike a.
There's so many differentrecipes that you could make that
are super helpful that youdon't have to tell anybody, yeah
, and people start eating it andthey're like, oh, that's
gluten-free, by the way, butit's all gone.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, that was really good.
My favorite gluten-free noodleis a.
I might have mentioned thisA-N-D-E-A-N.
It's the company Andine it's.
I always find them.
They're the spiral like therotinis.
Yes, I just find those at WholeFoods all the time and they
cook up really nice.
It's quinoa and rice noodletogether and it's fluffy.
(20:56):
Some of the gluten-free processcan be a little a little, you
know, like it's missingsomething.
Al dente yeah or not well, maybenot even chewy, just kind of
like something's missing and itis the gluten.
So but that and Dean is really,really good.
But yeah, getting creative guyswith, just you know, looking up
(21:18):
a dish or something and tryingit in the kitchen, I mean you're
already.
You're already making stuff toeat anyway at home.
And if you're not really muchof a cook, there's still things
you can do.
You can buy a box of vegetablebroth right, pour it in the pot,
throw some carrots and celeryand onion and chicken breasts in
there and you've got soup.
I mean, done easy, right.
(21:41):
And if you want to throw somenoodles in there, you can have a
vegetable chicken.
I mean how?
If you want to make it vegan,you can.
If you want to throw meat inthere, you can.
If you want to throw extravegetables in there, you can.
I mean there's so many thingsthat you can do, depending on
what you like.
And I just think if peoplestart to even just step into you
know, thinking about adifferent way to do something, I
(22:03):
think that they'll their healthwill definitely pay them back
in spades by having lessinflammatory things in their
body.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And they have to want .
It's got to be a mental, it'sgot to.
They have to think of it.
More of this is something Ihave to do my whole life, not
something like if you think ofit as a diet, you're always
going to fail because it'salways going to sound restricted
.
Exactly, by all means.
If you want to eat something,then eat it.
We always used to say in weightloss when I worked in weight
(22:33):
loss, like the two bite rule isstill better than than not.
Tasting something in two bitesof something is less likely to
to do.
You know, if you have a bite oflasagna, for example, it's,
it's healthier than like a piece.
So like, don't guilt and don'tshame yourself If you do eat
something, just no.
And then we also have tips,like we also used to have tips
(22:56):
to our our members that weretrying to lose weight.
That would be things like it'sonly one meal, meaning like
people say the holidays.
Well, it's really only twoholidays.
It's one Thanksgiving meal andChristmas meal and maybe you
know, rosh Hashanah yes,something, but really in New
Year's.
But that's four meals.
Okay, we eat.
Normal people eat two to threeto four meals a day.
(23:19):
A day right Four meals in a spanof like three months should not
be a problem.
Nor is it an excuse to go andeat a smorgasbord like Templeton
in Charlotte's flat, oh,templeton, so cute.
I gotta watch that movie.
Yeah, I love Templeton.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I know.
But that's a great reminder,though, for all of us too, is
that you don't have to make thisa big effort.
But you do have to make someeffort, you know some, do a
little something and get out ofyour headspace.
That you know.
I'm not falling into thatgluten-free lifestyle because
it's annoying.
It's this, it's that people,it's full of shit, like.
(23:59):
Whatever people think about it,they certainly can't and, yes,
some people can absolutelytolerate it without an issue.
But you know, when your bodystarts showing symptoms like
diarrhea, hives, rashes, poorsleep, bloating, constipation,
blood pressure dysregulation,headaches, vertigo, nausea,
(24:20):
vomiting should I continue?
Yeah, exactly, exactly let'sthen then it's time to take a
check-in and be like I wonder ifwhat I'm eating could be
causing some of my weirdosymptoms, and the answer always
is yes, the body.
I kind of laugh.
I don't mean to laugh because Ilive in it.
But you know, autoimmunity,where the immune system attacks
(24:42):
itself.
That is a false, wrong way tothink about autoimmunity,
because the immune systemdoesn't attack itself.
The immune system goes afterfood, right, and maybe viruses
and infections and food.
Guess what gluten is grown on?
It's grown on the streptococcusvirus, right?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So when you eat, it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Your body thinks whoa , we gotta you know, we gotta go
after this Incoming right.
Here's the enemy.
Start thinking in terms of whatyou're putting into your body,
so that your body doesn't haveto react in this kind of
response against food, whichshould nourish us and help give
(25:28):
us energy and help fuel us andhelp keep us strong and healthy
for a really long time right.
So true Renee With all rightwith also having some, some
sweets.
You know, I mean your sweetsdon't have to be ten thousand
grams of sugar.
(25:49):
Like I said, you can have ahalf of a Granny Smith apple,
you can have a, roll it in alittle, you know, put some of
those chocolate chips I wasmentioning earlier and or and
spread a little sunflower seedbutter.
You can have it to go.
I mean, that's that is going tosatisfy anybody's sweet craving
.
You got the crunch of the apple, you got the tart of the Granny
(26:10):
Smith, you got the sweet of thechip and you got the fat of the
sunflower seed butter.
You've got every group in there.
Crunchy salty.
You can even, you know, if youlike you can put a little salt
on there if you're a sweet saltyperson too.
I mean, there's so many thingsthat you can do.
So I want to invite everybodyfor this upcoming holiday season
and think about what you want,right For yourself, for your
(26:38):
health, for your family, foryour kids, for your pets, and
take a little action.
And please don't be shy, guys,reach out Again.
You can find me at the tummywhisper dot com.
I'm here with Janine everyother Tuesday at one thirty
central time and always excitedto share what I want to do with
(27:00):
you.
I want to help somebody alongthe way on their health journey.
Then I'm I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I love that.
You did a great job, Renee.
This was such an informativeepisode that I truly believe
will help people.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you, and that's what I want.
I want people to just get thehelp and not feel afraid that
they're not going to be able todo all of it, because it's.
You know, health is always anongoing project.
You know you have to switchwith your health, you know you.
You have to kind of step in anddo some things and then you
(27:39):
take a break and see how yourbody is.
When you take a break and knowwhat your threshold is and learn
how to give your body longer,bigger windows of threshold that
you can tolerate more things bybeing, you know, inviting the
good stuff in, and I'm not justtalking what you're putting in
your mouth.
And really, you know digestionstarts with the brain.
(28:00):
So how are you preparing?
What are you thinking about forfor dinner?
What are you, what are yougoing to have for breakfast the
next day?
Get a little bit prepared andstart that digestion process in
the emotional part of your, ofyour brain, so that you can get
a little bit prepared.
Otherwise it's going to bereally hard.
(28:22):
So take a moment to prepare, um, make some time and again,
reach out if you have anyquestions for us?
Thank you so much, renee, ofcourse, of course, thank you.
Nine.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Okay and we are live.
Welcome everybody to episodenumber nine of the Tummy
Whisperer podcast.
I'm so excited to haveeverybody here today.
I figured it would be aproposto jump right into holiday time,
(00:23):
since it's almost Halloween.
People are already thinkingabout should they even go to the
store and get the Snickers barsor not.
So my husband and I live in anice community but we don't get
a lot of trick-or-treaters.
So for the past several yearswe just opted out of getting
candy.
So you know, if you don't buyit and it's not in the house,
(00:48):
you're not tempted.
But don't you havetrick-or-treaters?
Well, I don't know.
We don't have a lot of kids inthis community and our the way
our subdivision is laid out isjust, we have like one street
that goes into our complex, sowe still get a lot of foot
traffic really from neighborhoodchildren.
Plus, we're off of a busystreet.
So, believe me, it's a blessing, but you know it's so hard.
(01:14):
It's so hard when you have thecandy in the house because you
maybe you just want one and thenone turns into seven and seven
can turn into the whole box, andI've got story after story of
how it just starts opening upthat part of the brain that's
like I need more, I need more, Ineed more, so, so harder.
It's the sugar, right?
So how do we kind of dive intoholiday preparation and it's not
(01:38):
even so much preparation, butit's having again awareness
around what are we eating andhow do we get ourselves through
the holidays without having togo off the rails and off the
deep end and feel horriblebecause we have to kind of push
through it?
Or feeling that person that'sshowing up to Aunt Betty's house
with their own gluten-freepumpkin pie, which, hey, there's
(01:58):
nothing wrong with doing that,because I guarantee you, aunt
Betty and everyone else willlove the pie.
I mean, whole Foods even hasevery year they have a cherry,
apple, pumpkin, chocolate,gluten-free frozen pie that you
can get.
You know I'm making, I'm cookingthis year, but but again, I
want to kind of talk about whatit looks like for people to
(02:21):
start to take a little bit ofresponsibility for your eating.
You know, just take a littlebit of responsibility.
Don't put yourself in themindset of, hey, it's the
holidays and I mean, I've beendoing this for almost 20 years.
You can imagine some of thelame excuses I've heard, and
I've again myself as well too.
Hey, it's, it's a holiday.
(02:43):
But if you could just start tomake some kind of change for the
better and help reduce thelevel of inflammation in your
body by what you're putting in,you're only helping yourself be
healthy and longer.
I know it's so much aboutinstant gratification in the
moment.
Right, just have a bite of this, have a bite of that and you'll
be okay.
(03:03):
And people a lot of times aren'tthinking about the long-term
big picture, especially if theyfeel halfway decent.
But for people that aren'tfeeling great and are kind of
already thinking about theseholidays and how they're going
to figure out how to roll outHalloween, thanksgiving,
christmas, new Year's and then,of course, resolution start and
hopefully people aren't way offthe deep end by that point.
(03:24):
What do we do?
So I wanted to go through sometips and some suggestions.
In Janine you can pipe inbecause you pull the trigger on
gluten.
I know you're going to haveyour holidays gluten-free.
You may have a bite ofsomething because you already
know that if you eat it, youalready know how poorly you feel
.
So for the people that don'tknow that gluten is an issue, it
(03:47):
might be worth trying somegluten-free things and seeing if
you like them.
That's the invitation to startdoing that.
For everybody else who knowsthat gluten is an issue, there's
so many good gluten-free thingsout there.
It's worth trying to figure outif you can make gluten-free
things.
So everyone tells me, you know,thanksgiving is so hard because
everything's full of gluten.
(04:07):
Well, it's really not.
The only thing that's gluten isstuffing.
That's it.
Sweet potato casserole, youknow.
Turkey and vegetables care.
I mean all the stuff that's.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And if you make the stuffing with gluten-free bread,
no one's going to know that itwas gluten-free bread in the
stomach.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
No one's going to know or really care Exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Oh, I mean gluten, and you don't have to tell
anybody, Just be like, this issuper healthy, because if I say
this is healthy or gluten-free,people don't want to eat it.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
But if you don't tell them that it's healthy, then
you know, that's what I tell myparents who are working with
their kids.
You know, and they're like Idon't tell little Tommy that hey
, try this gluten-free bread.
Just be like oh, here you go.
And then they don't even knowand they're like yummy.
I have story after story ofpeople telling me from family
members saying they triedsomething that was gluten-free.
(04:57):
The minute the family membertold them it was gluten-free,
they're like oh, I don't like it.
Yep, you just said you liked ita minute ago.
I changed my mind, really.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
OK, so true.
And if so many things aregluten-free that people don't
realize potatoes, rice there'sso many things.
You can have mashed potatoes,yes, and have a nice flavored
botsamadhi or jasmine rice as aside and be flavorful.
(05:32):
You don't have to sacrificetaste just because it's
healthier.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
And that's the thing.
People think they'resacrificing taste or they think
they're missing something.
I had a friend tell me oncethat her boyfriend said I need
to have gluten in my life.
I was like why does he feel heneeds to have gluten in his life
?
He didn't really even know whatit is.
But it's a mental thing thatsomething's being taken away
from you and it's not.
(05:58):
So.
You and I soapbox about glutenalmost every episode, but I
really want to talk to you aboutmore preparation with sugar
cravings, what to do around whenyou're wanting something sweet.
So if you are in the unfortunatesituation of having Trick or
Treaters, we'll go back toHalloween and having the candy
in the house.
Hide it, law yourself maybejust one piece or something and
(06:22):
see if you can have some fruitwith it.
Maybe if you have a Reese'sPeanut Butter Cup.
Peanut butter and apples is athing, so why not have a Reese's
Peanut Butter Cup with an appleto get yourself that fiber, so
that you're more full, insteadof having four Reese's pieces,
reese's Peanut Butter Cups ormaybe a banana, or something you
(06:44):
could even do if you're goingto do Snickers which again we
talked about last episode, withthe bioengineered ingredients in
Snickers.
If you end up falling privy toone accidentally falling in your
mouth, cut a half of a greenapple and you've got a caramel
Snickers apple there.
(07:04):
Or get something healthy, ormake a caramel apple, get some
good caramel sauce and some.
They make the.
I think it's the enjoy lifecompany that makes like a non
allergen chocolate chunks andchocolate chips and can kind of
roll it in there and giveyourself something that's less
chemical.
Start thinking in terms of lesschemicals in the body.
(07:27):
I think that's probably a goodplace for people to start.
So what's wrong with theSnickers?
Bioengineered ingredients?
Can you make something that'ssimilar to that?
Sure, you can get some almondsor some nuts and some caramel
and some of those, like I said,enjoy life chips.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
And I've got-.
I think that's a great idea,renee, and I also think, like,
if people are worried and theyare trick or treating, buy what.
You would feel that you're okayeating so mixed bags of the
little nuts.
Like if you have that andyou're giving that out to the
kids, they're not giving youcandy, you're giving them that,
so you don't have to buy, youdon't have to keep that in your
(08:01):
house because you're only giving.
Or my favorite snack in theworld.
You're gonna make a face, buthonestly, it's gotten me through
.
It's gotten me through.
Everything is a Slim Jim orsome beef jerky, because-.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
No, perfect it's like Because it's-.
I think we froze.
Oops, I think we froze.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
Here we are there, you are here, I am, so we were
talking about Slim Jims and beefjerkeys.
Yes, slim Jims and beef jerkeys.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
And those are fine, I mean if you can get a cleanish
one.
You know the gas station oneshave a lot of chemicals in them
too.
But true, um, nix sticks, orthey've got those chomps bars.
What's that?
There's 10,000 clean sources ofa of a Slim Jim or a beef stick
and they're healthier than Imean.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
They come in their own little individual packs.
You can hand those out.
It's a.
It's a healthier snack.
Obviously, you know it's kindof hard to get fruit and
vegetables when you're trick ortreating to kids.
Yeah, these days.
Yeah, you don't want to do that, but right, because it's
packaged.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
you know it's like you know it's like you know,
it's like you know.
You know I was going to say youknow, remember, hold your
thought.
Whole Foods I was just talkingabout this with my holistic
dentist because her daughter'slike loves the sour stuff Whole
Foods has that line of goodearth and they make the gummies
(09:39):
and they make M&Ms that are.
The coating on them is likefrom beets and from fruits and
vegetables, but it's made fromfruit and vegetables.
So YUM earth, y U M E A R T H.
I bet people can order thatfrom Amazon.
I always do see it at WholeFoods.
Um Woodmans has some of it too,but they've got the healthier
(10:01):
versions of the crappy candy.
So if you got, get that stuffon your house.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
You know, get the good stuff get the yum earth
stuff that's clean.
That sounds like a really goodidea, and when you are talking
about that, it sounds like somesugar content.
If it's dehydrated fruit, atleast it's.
I mean, at least you're eatinga dehydrated apricot.
It's still healthier than aSnickers bar right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Well, that's for sure , and I think there's a lot of
those.
Again, I'm saying I always talkabout Whole Foods.
Some of those companies makethose little packages of fruit.
There's the fruit rollups too.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Oh, yeah, the organic ones.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Organic.
The rollups, that, yeah, andthey're mostly gluten free and I
love ones that Whole.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Foods are gluten free .
Speaker 2 (10:45):
That's what I love about them they're they're
really healthy.
You know it's a lot of sugar,but you know kids got to have
something Again.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
it's better than genetically modified chemicals.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
That's it.
That's it.
So start thinking, guys, interms of, like, putting the
healthier stuff you know in thehouse for not only just
Halloween, but when you need alittle something.
There's that.
Um, there's also a.
Again, you know, there's a lotof stuff that's more than six or
seven ingredients on the box.
(11:21):
Steer clear.
You know, ron, you want stuffthat's more, that's closest to
nature.
So, like those fruit rollups, Ithink they only have like four
ingredients the fruit water, alittle sugar, something else in
there, like a citric acid orsomething to stabilize it.
But but yeah, start watchingand paying attention to the
ingredients.
Jeanine, you've seen the boxesand stuff that have like 12 to
(11:44):
20 ingredients in there.
So that's another sign that itprobably, if you can't pronounce
it, you probably shouldn't beeating it.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Hold on, can you hear me?
Yeah, yeah, at least I'm here.
It's okay.
Yeah, sight unseen, but I'mhere.
Okay, there, you are no ideawhat's going on, but I'm Anyway.
Okay, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
That's okay.
So if you can't pronounce it,don't eat it.
That's where we were.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, you can't pronounce it, don't eat it.
And also, those are greatthings to just keep in your If
you're a woman or you know, evenif you're not a fear of man and
you want to bring a bag and putit in your car.
but if you're hungry, bringsomething with you.
Don't make it an excuse oh,they didn't have anything I
could eat.
Well, they're not responsiblefor you and your health.
(12:43):
You're responsible for yourhealth, right, Thank you.
So if you want a healthy snack,you have to bring that snack.
No one's going to bring it foryou.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
What I would bring it for you.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Well, you and I would be courteous to that because we
we are on that path.
But a lot of times people makethe mistake because when I
worked in weight loss theyalways used to say obesity is a
disease of procrastination.
And honestly it is, and it's away for people to make excuses,
unfortunately, of why they can'tdo well over the holidays, and
(13:20):
people are terrified of thistime of year if they're
overweight.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Well, I mean they are .
And this kind of ties into whatwe talked about last week,
about taking little, teeny, tinysteps just to try to help
yourself and not having to feellike you have to do everything
all at once, which cripples youand you become a daring
headlight and then you donothing right Because you say,
(13:45):
screw it, I can't.
No, take a tiny little bit ofsomething, do something
different for 30 days, and ifyou only do it for 10 days and
you fall off, do it then againfor another 20 and then you've
done your 30.
It's not Nobody's keeping score, nobody's holding a gun to your
head.
This is about taking a littlebit of responsibility for
(14:08):
yourself so that you can betteryour health and avoid hospitals,
ers, doctors.
I'm not saying that we don'tneed doctors, because we
certainly do, but we don't wantto have to go right Because
there's something wrong.
We want to use them formaintenance and our checkups,
(14:30):
for that type of thing right, Iagree.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
I agree the less I have to go to a doctor because
I'm symptomatic of something,the better.
It's one thing to go for yourannual checkup and be excited
because you haven't had to gothe entire year, and that's
exciting.
It's like, yes, yes, that's adoctor's dream.
A good doctor, a good doctor,yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
And it's funny that you say that because, like my
little puppy, who's going to bethree, puppies get all kinds of
stuff.
They get kennel cough and allthat stuff and he got all the
puppy stuff.
And you know me, I cook for himand he eats pretty clean and
even though he had bladderinfections in Cuck City and all
the stuff as a young guy, I havehim on his probiotics.
He's on clean food.
He gets part of our smoothieevery day, whatever he hasn't
(15:17):
had anything wrong with him in ayear and a half and nothing.
I mean, he gets a little houndtummy right, cause hounds have
sensitive stomachs.
So if I give him you know somekind of weird animal thing that
I buy that grosses Mark out likeI have dehydrated chicken feet
and he's like, oh, get that outof here.
I'm like gladly give it to thedog.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
That's hilarious, oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
I've got little chicken hearts.
I've got buffalo lungs in thehouse.
Yeah, I got all kinds of stufffor the dog.
He's a lucky boy, but my pointis he's not even Snickers.
Clearly I wouldn't let him Dogscan't have chocolate but
because his diet is pretty good,he doesn't get really sick, he
doesn't have immune issues, hedoesn't get kennel cough again
(16:03):
and he's around a lot of dogs.
He goes to a daycare and he'spretty healthy.
So you know he doesn't have achoice, right?
He eats what we give him, butfor us it's the same thing.
You know, we really need tostart paying attention to what
we want for our future healthwise.
Do we want to lose time withour family because we're sick
(16:26):
and we can't go somewhere?
I mean, these are definitelythings to think about.
So again, I'm here to answerquestions.
I love questions.
You guys can email me, you canreach me at thetummywhisperercom
, happy to answer questions andgive people a sort of starting
(16:47):
set point and put them on a pathto better health.
As we're talking about holidays, whether you're hosting or
you're going somewhere, if youare going to go somewhere, bring
a dish, bring something thatyou can share that may be
healthy, even a one pot meal.
You're familiar with the termone pot meal, where you just
throw the meat, you throw therice, you throw the veggies, you
(17:10):
got the grains in there, yougot a full soups, you know a
stew, bring it, bring that, andmaybe that's your meal.
You have some turkey, you havesome sides, you bring a little
sweets to share you know, becreative.
I have a lot of my clients whodo like to bake and they like to
cook not the majority, but somecan really throw it out in the
(17:31):
kitchen and they'll grab theKing Arthur's gluten-free flour,
coconut flour, and make cookiesLike even for my Frisbee league
is so amazing.
My birthday was early Octoberand Alex brought me some
gluten-free pumpkin muffins thatwere so good.
She said they were really easyto make.
She used the coconut flour,almond flour, egg, I think, a
(17:53):
few of it, the pumpkin cinnamon.
They were delicious and youknow it's so easy.
It didn't take her long.
It was so nice of them to dothat for me and you know it's
just, it's easy to do.
That's what I'm saying.
It's easy to do.
If you want to make it decadent, throw some frosting on there.
You know, get some frosting,make your own frosting and do it
like a chocolate pumpkin muffinor something.
Does that sound good it?
Speaker 1 (18:13):
sounds great and I I mean I've done every diet out
there, but not that this is.
I mean they call it, you know,like a fat bomb or a keto bomb,
but it's you know healthier.
Healthier because you're usingreal ingredients.
Like maybe you go to WholeFoods and you get peanut butter
that you grind, that it's justthe actual peanuts.
Or you get some oil and now withthe oil and stuff like that,
(18:37):
and then you can make your own.
You know fat bombs that you putin the freezer and things along
that nature that's healthier, asweet or an alternative that
you can bring.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Yes, then something you know, I've got a recipe from
a coach of mine for you.
It is a carnivore cheesecakeand so I'll send you the recipe.
It's eggs and heavy whippingcream and maple syrup and a
farmer's cheese, I mean, andlike I haven't made it, but I
(19:09):
think I want to.
But it's just, she said her andher husband, she made the
mistake of making it and thenwe're just gonna have, like they
had a piece and they're likeokay, one more, one more piece,
and the pieces were slivers.
Well, that's where you, that'swhere you fuck off.
Don't cut yourself a sliver,guys.
Since you think you're doingyourself a justice, cut yourself
a honkin' piece, eat it and bedone.
Well, I mean, their piece isturned into the whole cheesecake
(19:34):
.
It's not a big one, it's.
You know, they were both prettysick the next day, but they
couldn't stop.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
So yummy I love.
Now, cheesecake is a weaknessof mine, since I haven't been
doing dairy.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I wonder what alternatives there are to that.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Well, the farmer's cheese is supposed to be okay.
I don't know.
I'll ask her about it next timeI talk to her.
But you know, there again,there's a lot of things that you
can do that are reallydelicious, and I mean gosh, you
can just Google anything interms of how to make a sweet
treat, a cookie, a muffin, youknow a soup of if you're like
gluten-free soups, gluten-freecasseroles noodles, I mean.
(20:14):
There's just so many thingsthat you can do.
Speaker 1 (20:17):
It's endless and you know, I just that sounds like a
great well, you can do avegetable casserole with like
gluten-free noodles and makelike a.
There's so many differentrecipes that you could make that
are super helpful that youdon't have to tell anybody, yeah
, and people start eating it andthey're like, oh, that's
gluten-free, by the way, butit's all gone.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yeah, that was really good.
My favorite gluten-free noodleis a.
I might have mentioned thisA-N-D-E-A-N.
It's the company Andine it's.
I always find them.
They're the spiral like therotinis.
Yes, I just find those at WholeFoods all the time and they
cook up really nice.
It's quinoa and rice noodletogether and it's fluffy.
(20:56):
Some of the gluten-free processcan be a little a little, you
know, like it's missingsomething.
Al dente yeah or not well, maybenot even chewy, just kind of
like something's missing and itis the gluten.
So but that and Dean is really,really good.
But yeah, getting creative guyswith, just you know, looking up
(21:18):
a dish or something and tryingit in the kitchen, I mean you're
already.
You're already making stuff toeat anyway at home.
And if you're not really muchof a cook, there's still things
you can do.
You can buy a box of vegetablebroth right, pour it in the pot,
throw some carrots and celeryand onion and chicken breasts in
there and you've got soup.
I mean, done easy, right.
(21:41):
And if you want to throw somenoodles in there, you can have a
vegetable chicken.
I mean how?
If you want to make it vegan,you can.
If you want to throw meat inthere, you can.
If you want to throw extravegetables in there, you can.
I mean there's so many thingsthat you can do, depending on
what you like.
And I just think if peoplestart to even just step into you
know, thinking about adifferent way to do something, I
(22:03):
think that they'll their healthwill definitely pay them back
in spades by having lessinflammatory things in their
body.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
And they have to want .
It's got to be a mental, it'sgot to.
They have to think of it.
More of this is something Ihave to do my whole life, not
something like if you think ofit as a diet, you're always
going to fail because it'salways going to sound restricted
.
Exactly, by all means.
If you want to eat something,then eat it.
We always used to say in weightloss when I worked in weight
(22:33):
loss, like the two bite rule isstill better than than not.
Tasting something in two bitesof something is less likely to
to do.
You know, if you have a bite oflasagna, for example, it's,
it's healthier than like a piece.
So like, don't guilt and don'tshame yourself If you do eat
something, just no.
And then we also have tips,like we also used to have tips
(22:56):
to our our members that weretrying to lose weight.
That would be things like it'sonly one meal, meaning like
people say the holidays.
Well, it's really only twoholidays.
It's one Thanksgiving meal andChristmas meal and maybe you
know, rosh Hashanah yes,something, but really in New
Year's.
But that's four meals.
Okay, we eat.
Normal people eat two to threeto four meals a day.
(23:19):
A day right Four meals in a spanof like three months should not
be a problem.
Nor is it an excuse to go andeat a smorgasbord like Templeton
in Charlotte's flat, oh,templeton, so cute.
I gotta watch that movie.
Yeah, I love Templeton.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
I know.
But that's a great reminder,though, for all of us too, is
that you don't have to make thisa big effort.
But you do have to make someeffort, you know some, do a
little something and get out ofyour headspace.
That you know.
I'm not falling into thatgluten-free lifestyle because
it's annoying.
It's this, it's that people,it's full of shit, like.
(23:59):
Whatever people think about it,they certainly can't and, yes,
some people can absolutelytolerate it without an issue.
But you know, when your bodystarts showing symptoms like
diarrhea, hives, rashes, poorsleep, bloating, constipation,
blood pressure dysregulation,headaches, vertigo, nausea,
(24:20):
vomiting should I continue?
Yeah, exactly, exactly let'sthen then it's time to take a
check-in and be like I wonder ifwhat I'm eating could be
causing some of my weirdosymptoms, and the answer always
is yes, the body.
I kind of laugh.
I don't mean to laugh because Ilive in it.
But you know, autoimmunity,where the immune system attacks
(24:42):
itself.
That is a false, wrong way tothink about autoimmunity,
because the immune systemdoesn't attack itself.
The immune system goes afterfood, right, and maybe viruses
and infections and food.
Guess what gluten is grown on?
It's grown on the streptococcusvirus, right?
Speaker 1 (25:05):
So when you eat, it.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
Your body thinks whoa , we gotta you know, we gotta go
after this Incoming right.
Here's the enemy.
Start thinking in terms of whatyou're putting into your body,
so that your body doesn't haveto react in this kind of
response against food, whichshould nourish us and help give
(25:28):
us energy and help fuel us andhelp keep us strong and healthy
for a really long time right.
So true Renee With all rightwith also having some, some
sweets.
You know, I mean your sweetsdon't have to be ten thousand
grams of sugar.
(25:49):
Like I said, you can have ahalf of a Granny Smith apple,
you can have a, roll it in alittle, you know, put some of
those chocolate chips I wasmentioning earlier and or and
spread a little sunflower seedbutter.
You can have it to go.
I mean, that's that is going tosatisfy anybody's sweet craving
.
You got the crunch of the apple, you got the tart of the Granny
(26:10):
Smith, you got the sweet of thechip and you got the fat of the
sunflower seed butter.
You've got every group in there.
Crunchy salty.
You can even, you know, if youlike you can put a little salt
on there if you're a sweet saltyperson too.
I mean, there's so many thingsthat you can do.
So I want to invite everybodyfor this upcoming holiday season
and think about what you want,right For yourself, for your
(26:38):
health, for your family, foryour kids, for your pets, and
take a little action.
And please don't be shy, guys,reach out Again.

central time and always excitedto share what I want to do with

will help people.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
Thank you, and that's what I want.
I want people to just get thehelp and not feel afraid that
they're not going to be able todo all of it, because it's.
You know, health is always anongoing project.
You know you have to switchwith your health, you know you.
You have to kind of step in anddo some things and then you
(27:39):
take a break and see how yourbody is.
When you take a break and knowwhat your threshold is and learn
how to give your body longer,bigger windows of threshold that
you can tolerate more things bybeing, you know, inviting the
good stuff in, and I'm not justtalking what you're putting in
your mouth.
And really, you know digestionstarts with the brain.
(28:00):
So how are you preparing?
What are you thinking about forfor dinner?
What are you, what are yougoing to have for breakfast the
next day?
Get a little bit prepared andstart that digestion process in
the emotional part of your, ofyour brain, so that you can get
a little bit prepared.
Otherwise it's going to bereally hard.
(28:22):
So take a moment to prepare, um, make some time and again,
reach out if you have anyquestions for us?
