Speaker: Okay, so we're back.
Speaker: What is the topic today?
Speaker: Please tell us all.
Speaker: My favorite topic is.
Speaker: What is that?
Speaker: Physical health and fitness.
Speaker: Sorry I didn't mean to yell like that.
Speaker: If you have headphones on, sorry my bad.
Speaker: But yes, I love this topic so much.
Speaker: It speaks tremendous volumes.
Speaker: Fitness, physical health, you're obviously in this world.
Speaker: I'm a previous college athlete, so it's embedded.
Speaker: Oh yeah, what did you play?
Speaker: I ran track.
Speaker: For who?
Speaker: For who?
Speaker: I'm questioning it.
Speaker: I ran track for A&M in Corpus Christi.
Speaker: Get out of here.
Speaker: I did.
Speaker: You got a scholarship?
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: No way.
Speaker: I, what?
Speaker: What?
Speaker: I don't look fit.
Speaker: Girl, you fit as I can be.
Speaker: You know.
Speaker: No, no, no.
Speaker: I remember what I don't remember.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: You have so many traits to your wonderful spirit.
Speaker: So do you.
Speaker: Yeah, health, wellness, fitness, emotion.
Speaker: Emotion.
Speaker: Motion changes emotion.
Speaker: So when you move the body, it changes those emotions that you're feeling.
Speaker: Energy in motion.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: Energy in motion.
Speaker: So I would ask this.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: We are in a movement right now where it's like, love your body.
Speaker: Body shaming has become very, well, it's always been bad, but now that social media is big, you have these random people just talking crap about
Speaker: people in their comments about their bodies and stuff.
Speaker: And so this big thing came about when it comes to body shaming and there are tremendous people coming out, showing their body, saying they love their bodies.
Speaker: But my thing is to truly love yourself.
Speaker: Like if you really, really love yourself, you start doing things for your physical body
Speaker: to where you can prove.
Speaker: It's like your body is doing so much to take care of you.
Speaker: What are you doing to take care of it?
Speaker: You put gas in your car every time it runs on E. But you can't put regular in a Bentley or Ferrari.
Speaker: Your body is a Lamborghini.
Speaker: You need premium gas.
Speaker: And eating healthy is a form of self-respect.
Speaker: Not saying you gotta be perfect.
Speaker: you just gotta be aware of what you're putting in your body.
Speaker: Correct.
Speaker: Also, I believe people don't know, I'm from Baltimore.
Speaker: When I was 17, before basketball games, I was eating McChickens, double cheeseburgers, chicken nuggets.
Speaker: And at the time, it was fine because I was an athlete.
Speaker: But I wasn't processing it.
Speaker: Oh, this is bad for me.
Speaker: I shouldn't eat it.
Speaker: So I will say there are people out there who are doing the best they can.
Speaker: But as you get older, the body does change.
Speaker: And if you create the same habits...
Speaker: your body will change as well.
Speaker: Because you can't just keep putting regular gas in your tank and thinking it's gonna run efficiently as the car ages or you don't get an oil change or a tune-up.
Speaker: And the thing is, in certain areas, Baltimore being one, in certain environments, they don't have a Whole Foods.
Speaker: They don't have the earth bars in there.
Speaker: No, they have carry-outs, they have liquor stores, they have McDonald's, they have Burger King.
Speaker: It's a system, come on.
Speaker: They have Chipotle.
Speaker: In Baltimore, they don't have Whole Foods?
Speaker: Maybe downtown Baltimore.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: They have more like Safeway or... What's the other grocery store in Baltimore?
Speaker: I don't know the other ones.
Speaker: But, you know, what I'm saying is there's not a very health-conscious, like...
Speaker: thing going on, we be drinking green drinks.
Speaker: Like LA, we live in, come on, we live in Hollywood.
Speaker: It's healthy here, everyone looks good, everyone takes care of their body.
Speaker: Where everybody doesn't have that access to eat good, look good, and feel good because it's not in their world.
Speaker: So, just to go back, I want people to be mindful that when we're talking about health and fitness and holding yourself accountable and being healthy and fit, that we're not saying that everyone has to be perfect.
Speaker: Because we do understand that some people don't have the resources or the information to know what to eat or when they should eat or when to work out.
Speaker: But we're holding each other accountable as individuals.
Speaker: We work out.
Speaker: We try our best to eat healthy because our body and our mind and our spirit is our life.
Speaker: So if you don't have the information, there's ways you can get it.
Speaker: And sometimes you're not programmed to eat healthy and look fit.
Speaker: That's just not part of your life.
Speaker: And that's not what I'm saying.
Speaker: You don't have to have a six pack.
Speaker: What I'm saying is you have to be aware of the things that you're consuming.
Speaker: What's going into your body, what's going into your mind.
Speaker: The more you start taking care of your mind, you start doing research, you start learning,
Speaker: okay the main causes of cancer are in processed foods okay i know that processed foods cause cancer i'm gonna go to the grocery store and i am not going to buy something that will cause cancer in my body there's a documentary on uh netflix called heal h-e-a-l yeah and there's um it there's a lady on there that's extremely healthy and
Speaker: Did you see the lady doing a tapping on the documentary?
Speaker: She did a tapping?
Speaker: I don't know.
Speaker: You didn't see that?
Speaker: The one with cancer, four-stage cancer?
Speaker: There was one I was tapping.
Speaker: I haven't seen it in a while, but it talks about a lot of the things that we consume.
Speaker: A lot of times, diseases also come from...
Speaker: our thoughts.
Speaker: Stress.
Speaker: Stress.
Speaker: And working out eliminates a lot of that.
Speaker: I would say...
Speaker: A really solid system would be to do research on what you're eating.
Speaker: And I'm not saying go vegan, but choose healthier choices as far as greens go, like your kale, your spinach.
Speaker: I think every state got kale.
Speaker: Or process, how are you feeling?
Speaker: Because food depicts mood.
Speaker: Ooh.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: I like that.
Speaker: Yeah, you know, I'm a fitness trainer, so I realized over the years, food combining, so say for instance, I have a healthy plate.
Speaker: I have salmon, I have sweet potatoes, I have brown rice, I have Brussels sprouts.
Speaker: That's a kind of unique mix of food, but somewhat healthy, right?
Speaker: But some of those food don't belong on a plate.
Speaker: So it's called food combining.
Speaker: So when you combine the wrong foods in your body, it doesn't digest and process the right way.
Speaker: Also, I believe 80% or 90% of people swallow their food.
Speaker: They don't chew it.
Speaker: So when you swallow your food, you're not getting what you need from it.
Speaker: That's why you're still hungry.
Speaker: Yes, so it's called mindful eating like people don't chew their food.
Speaker: There's a book called the enzyme factor and he talks about this.
Speaker: Okay, that's a book that I'm going to read.
Speaker: Right, you gotta chew your food.
Speaker: People don't do that, they swallow so then they're still hungry.
Speaker: Also, when your body becomes accustomed and conditioned to eating unhealthy foods,
Speaker: It's on a cycle.
Speaker: So when you get the good foods, your body reacts.
Speaker: Like, oh, this is good.
Speaker: It's not good for me.
Speaker: it's reversed because your body's not used to it.
Speaker: So something that's good to you in a bad body is really bad for the bad body.
Speaker: Something that's good because it's not used to having it.
Speaker: So the body's used to the bad food, the bacteria that comes from the bad food.
Speaker: So over years, you just accumulate in that food and then as you get older, things pop up, illnesses, diseases.
Speaker: Because your body's not used to the good stuff.
Speaker: So sometimes it could be a bad effect if people go from eating very unhealthy to eating healthy.
Speaker: That's why fasting is good because it restarts your system, your digestive system.
Speaker: So you're recommending fasting before you change your entire diet.
Speaker: Take your time when you're training like take things away.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: No more soda.
Speaker: No more sweets.
Speaker: Okay, do that for two weeks.
Speaker: Then you say no more bread and start replacing it with healthy food But don't force yourself.
Speaker: I'm gonna hardcore vegan boom cuz when I eat vegan food.
Speaker: Oh man, the stomach don't know no my friend everything there is vegan and
Speaker: I tasted the cheeseburger, which was not real dairy.
Speaker: And it tastes just like... Cheese.
Speaker: Cheese!
Speaker: By the way, dairy is bad for anybody.
Speaker: I don't eat dairy anymore.
Speaker: And look at how I clear my skin.
Speaker: There you go.
Speaker: No pimples.
Speaker: You pimple.
Speaker: I ain't got no pimple.
Speaker: And that's from eliminating dairy.
Speaker: Women, we have our hormonal areas right here.
Speaker: You will notice breakouts.
Speaker: Really?
Speaker: On the side of your cheek and your forehead.
Speaker: It's just like hormones.
Speaker: So there are intestines in our...
Speaker: bellies that connect to our face.
Speaker: So when your belly is dirty
Speaker: It flares up on your face.
Speaker: Clean the belly.
Speaker: So what helps me or what helped me was celery juice.
Speaker: Celery juice and lemon.
Speaker: They're $60 juicers on Amazon.
Speaker: But there's also like pressed.
Speaker: You can just buy the celery juice.
Speaker: You drink it before you eat anything in the morning.
Speaker: It's a detoxifier.
Speaker: It eliminates inflammation in the body.
Speaker: And when you drink it, you just be feeling like, yes.
Speaker: Yeah, and just know you got to eat for your body type.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: And you got to know your body type.
Speaker: Right.
Speaker: You know, there's three different body types.
Speaker: There's ectomorph, it's more skinny built.
Speaker: Endomorph, you're more round.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Mesomorph is more muscular.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: So ecto is hard to gain weight, easy to lose.
Speaker: Endo is easy to gain, hard to lose.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: And mezzo is kind of in between.
Speaker: You can lose fast, gain fast.
Speaker: It's like more athletic built.
Speaker: I think
Speaker: Yeah, I'm that one.
Speaker: Which one?
Speaker: Meso.
Speaker: Meso.
Speaker: Athletic?
Speaker: Okay, cool.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: So, just to kind of get everything into perspective for you guys, there are different forms of fitness.
Speaker: Some people do not like going to the gym.
Speaker: That I understand.
Speaker: There's Pilates.
Speaker: If you don't have Pilates,
Speaker: There's yoga.
Speaker: There's so many platforms.
Speaker: There's YouTube.
Speaker: You can do it at your house.
Speaker: As long as you're taking minimal steps to acknowledge your body, that's what you're doing.
Speaker: You're telling your body, okay, you woke up for me today.
Speaker: You walked for me today.
Speaker: Do you even think?
Speaker: And talk to your body.
Speaker: Exactly.
Speaker: Thank you, body.
Speaker: Gratitude for my body.
Speaker: And go get a massage.
Speaker: Come cryotherapy.
Speaker: I just did that.
Speaker: Okay.
Speaker: Guys, it might be TMI, but make love to your women now.
Speaker: Make love to them.
Speaker: Don't just be on top of them.
Speaker: Make love to them.
Speaker: You know, appreciate them.
Speaker: You know what I'm saying?
Speaker: Oh, seriously, it's part of your body.
Speaker: No, it is.
Speaker: You know, take care of that.
Speaker: It's important.
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: I will say when it comes to your body and food,
Speaker: what is your, you gotta understand your attitude.
Speaker: So if you go on a diet, but your attitude about food is bad, the diet's not gonna work, because you have a negative attitude about it, right?
Speaker: So you have to fix your mind?
Speaker: Yes.
Speaker: So also when it comes to your body, if you're working out every day and you're feeling like it's not working or it's not going to work, then you're going to get what you're thinking.
Speaker: So you've got to change your attitude about those things if you want to see any type of results.
Speaker: Fantastic.
Speaker: Mind over matter.
Speaker: Yeah.
Speaker: We will and we must get better.
Speaker: Basically the core of life talks is all up in here.
Speaker: Mindset.
Speaker: Once you fix that, your whole life will form and it'll be great.
Speaker: Health is wealth.
Speaker: Health is wealth, guys.
Speaker: Mind, body, soul.
Speaker: Do we have a quote for today?
Speaker: We do have a book that I recommend that they should read.
Speaker: It's The Enzyme Factor.
