25:22But these days, if you're like most people, you feel like your stomach's a bear trap. One wrong bite and you're done. Here's the thing. Years ago, our ancestors ate lots of bitter plants daily that made our digestion work. We don't do that as much anymore. And that's because our modern diet has completely eliminated these essential compounds. You've heard us many times on this podcast talk about the Just Thrive probiotic. We've had the founders of Just Thrive on this podcast multiple times. But now we're also loving their newest product, Just Thrive just launched Digestive Bitters.

I love doing reads where I get to feel smart, where I get to feel like I'm breaking something new. And that is why, again, I am so excited to talk to you guys about fatty 15. Here's the thing. We have an incredible scientific breakthrough to support our long-term health and wellness.

27:59C15 is the first essential fatty acid to be discovered in 90 years. And get this, studies have confirmed that it's three times better, broader, and safer than omega-3s. Yes, you heard it here first. The origin story of Fatty 15 is Dr. Stephanie Van Watson, who's been on this podcast two times, first discovered C15 as the first essential fatty acid to be found in over 90 years while working with the U.S. Navy to continually improve the health and welfare of aging dolphins. Have you ever seen a dolphin? I'm sure you have. If you have, you know they are the pinnacle of health. That's what you want to look like, a dolphin.

28:29You want to have that smooth skin. Anyways, joking aside, check out that episode we did with Dr. Stephanie Van Watson. It is fascinating. But the long story short is it's pretty simple. Essential nutrients keep our cells healthy, which keeps us healthy. If you want to get science-y about it, studies show that C15 works by strengthening our cells, improving our mitochondrial function, and protecting us against damaging free radicals. The result, better long-term metabolic liver and heart health. It ends up that many of us are also deficient in C15, which results in weaker cells that make less energy and quit working earlier than they should.

28:58All of this makes us age faster, sleep poorly, and feel sluggish. If this sounds familiar, it's likely because you may be deficient in C15. Fatty 15 is science-backed, vegan-friendly, and a pure C15 supplement with only one ingredient, which is C15. So if you're ready to reclaim your health, check it out. Fatty 15 is on a mission to replenish your C15 levels and restore your long-term health.

So I used to be obsessed with cold plunging. And part of my personality, I have a very addictive personality. So when I like something, like I love it and I want to do it every day. I got like a little too intense with cold plunging. And I would start to go. Like, I'm like, how long can I go for? And I got up to like 11 minutes one time. And the guy was like, you, I got out and I was like lightheaded. Now he was like, you need to chill. And I'm like, I don't know.

31:36I'm just like fighting my demons in here. Like, it's just like this intense thing, you know? So I don't cold plunge as much. Also, I have hypothyroidism. So that was that was kind of contributing negatively to that. But the sauna, 100 percent, 20 to 30 minutes in the sauna, three days a week. That's part of my routine. And then outdoor walks, especially a post dinner walk. That's something I've been doing more recently. It's like part of me, my boyfriend's routine. We make dinner, we eat dinner, we go for a 30 minute walk. And it's just like the best not only for like your mental health, but it's good for digestion.

32:07It like helps you wind down. So I stand by the I mean, walking in general is a amazing, but making it like that 30 minute walk-a-party routine, like a non-negotiable is really helpful. Tell me about the castor oil packs on the belly button. Because I bought the stuff from your Amazon store, but something about it feels overwhelming to me, which is funny because I usually am like, I'll make it work, but there's something that's overwhelming because I'm like, is the castor oil going to fall on my vagina when I'm sleeping? Like, I don't understand. I'm completely lost now. So let me break it down.

32:41I'm going to get very granular. I'm going to explain this. So with the castor oil, it's kind of like it works. I will say it works. He needs to understand the what are we trying to accomplish here. Like who, where, when, how. With the castor oil, you want it to be like organic, hexane-free. It's an oil. You put it on your stomach. So you can put it like anywhere on your lower stomach. It's really good for liver detoxification. The castor oil itself on the stomach for liver detox. Tina does this too, who was just on the show. Go ahead. So then I like you can put it in your belly button. So your belly button is like one of the best ways to get something into your body.

33:14It has like 70 ,000 nerves or something. And so I put just a little bit in my belly button, a little drop. And then you can either do a wrap or you can do a patch. And then if you want to really go all out, put a heating pad on it for like 15 minutes. You sleep with it on. You peel it off in the morning and you go about your day. That's it. So I just put a little bit of the hex free. Yeah. What do you do? Do you feel something? Well, it helps with digestion for sure. so I feel like girls struggle with digestion and it's not talked about but like most of people like I talk to struggle with digestion and like bloating and that inflammation bitter soda but likely I mean listen again I'm not an expert but just like going by intuition if you're if you're fucking up the rhythm of when you're eating and how you're eating and you're starving yourself sometimes you're not other times and you're doing something like you're it's confusing the body and then the body like it should be on a natural time clock to digest if that makes sense right?

34:06Like you should wake up in the morning, digest. So do you use the sticker over the belly button or do you use the pack? I like the sticker just because it's easy, but I will say you have to get the right sticker. And unfortunately, like not all are made the same because sometimes it'll leave a little bit of residue on your skin. So I mean, if that happens to me, I don't really care, but some girls are a little more like, oh, it leaves like a little bit of a residue. Also, that can mean you're applying too much oil. When I apply the oil, I make sure there's no oil on the adhesive. So it's not like marinating on it overnight.

34:36So it's a drop in your belly button and you just cover your belly button and go to bed and it's good for liver detoxification. And it's castor oil and you have to make sure it's organic, cold pressed. Hexane free. Hexane free. Yeah. And this is going to detox the liver. My first thought goes to after two margaritas. Is that a good idea? For all my clients or my coaches clients who drink, like we really encourage it because it does help with that detoxification. And it's just a good hack for like, I'm all about little small things you can do to better your day. It's almost like you're romanticizing your nighttime routine to have a better morning.

35:09I am so like we're on the vibration. Yeah. I romanticize everything. Tell me about your story with Accutane. Yes. You mentioned that off air. Your skin looks really clear to me. What was that like? Are you still on it? So I did Accutane. I finished April of this year and I'm 29. So I've struggled heavily with cystic acne in my 20s and I've done everything you can think of under the sun. I've worked with holistic practitioners. I've cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, done three liver detoxes. I've really tried it all and I've been very vocal about this on my platform. I've always showed my acne and it's been hard.

35:45It's been something that's been hard on social media. I feel like it's my only pain point. It's the only area where if someone kind of attacks my skin when I was having bad acne, it would like hurt a little. Who is attacking your skin? I mean, just people be like, oh, it's because you're eating this or you're working out this or the sauna. Like they would just try to like diagnose me, which I'm all for feedback. But when you are, you know, single in your 20s and you have like cystic acne plastered on your face and nothing you're doing is working and you're doing absolutely everything, it really was like such a hard trial.

36:16And if you have acne or if you've had acne, I know girls listening right now are like, I know how that feels. It's just it sucks you feel like half the version of yourself I mean it was a very tumultuous time for me with like my mental health like I just especially with being online like I still had to work like I have coaches like I can't just take a social media break and the problem that I think with acne and I this happens to me when I get like dermatitis is that you don't want people are like cover it up you don't want to cover it up because then it blocks the skin from breathing oh so you're You're in this like weird limbo where like you don't want to cover it up with foundation.

36:53Well, you do want to cover it up, but then you don't want to cover it up. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I would just I mean, and I'm a somewhat like I work out early, so I'm not I'm putting on I put on your your tinted sunscreen in the morning and I'll do like my brows and I'll go to the gym. So I just wore it, though. Honestly, like I just started to kind of have to own it. And then I finally was like, I'm going to do Accutane. But I was I was scared of Accutane. There's so much fear-mongering with it. Accutane changed my life. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. My acne, I had no bad side effects.

37:25I had no like all these like scary fear-mongering stories I was hearing. What are the scary stories for the uneducated, which is me? Yeah. You know, you wreck your liver or your kidneys. You have severe muscle aches. You can get depression, super dry skin, like your skin's flaking off. I had dry skin. Okay. That was my one side effect. My lips are dry. My face was dry. I applied my moisturizer. I wore Aquaphor. That's the only thing that was. How long did it take to go away? I was on it for almost eight months. Here's my question about it. It seems like when you get off of it, the acne then goes away forever.

38:00Well, so that's so my OK, so my dad did two rounds of Accutane. My brothers have perfect skin like I have acne and I from who I've talked to with like the holistic practitioners and dermatologists, it's more genetic. And so I feel like lately I've had a little bit of acne start to come through again and I'm kind of dabbling with do Accutane again. Could you microdose it? That's what I'm kind of talking to a dermatologist about right now. I'm also right now on a topical spironolactone, which is really helping. That's really smart. You know, when I was on birth control a million years ago, I wanted to just get the compound of the spironolactone because I was worried when I got off that I would get pimples.

38:40I got off, I didn't get pimples. Is that why a lot of girls take birth control because of the spirulina lactin? Yeah, you're put on birth control as a young girl to help your acne. Yeah, which is like, don't even get me started on that. But if you pull the spirulina lactin compound, can't you pull that? You said you do it topical. Can't you pull it like a pill? Yes, you can. And I did spirulina lactone for two years in my like acne journey of like six years before I did Accutane. but the topical spironolactone is working okay but i'm gonna say i might do accutane again i might do a second round and what this is my question though that i don't understand after you do a second round is it done forever or you don't know that's the hope okay that's people say i've talked to it's a very i mean some people love it some people hate it i have talked to girls who've done it twice and said the second round really helped like it kind of zapped it they haven't experienced it again i'm go ahead no i'm just i'm noticing like little i have like so much anxiety when I feel a little cystic one come through.

39:38I'm like, oh no, like, is it coming back again? Like, so I have a little bit of a, I think I'm a little fearful of it, maybe too anxious about it. And I need to just like, let it run its course. Like do this. I'm doing the topical spurnalactone, but I'm not scared to do Accutane again. I have two weird questions. I'm sure you're going to say yes to both. I'm just wondering, do you sleep on silk pillowcase? No. Okay. I would run to get a silk pillowcase, get the best silk that you've ever experienced. I can send you the link of the one I used. Yeah, send it to me. It's by The Natural Faces. Okay.

40:08It's so cute. You can put your initials on it. Okay, cute. I love her. She has beautiful skin. Okay. You've probably seen her. I used to change my pillowcase every night. Okay, that's amazing. Which is so high maintenance. That's pain in the ass. But try the silk pillowcase. I'll do the silk. Yeah. There's also this brand called The Sleep Crown. I just got it for all my kids and me and it's silk. Not me. You just got the kids. I got one for you too. It's literally on your pillowcase and it's silk. Okay. My other question, this is my main question. What detergent are you using? I use Molly Suds.

40:40Okay. I love, I'm pretty, I try really hard. If you were going to tell me that you use something that like rhymed with schmied. I would not call on this podcast using Tide. Okay. I would not call on here. It sounds like you've tried almost everything for it. I think sometimes you have to make a decision and do what you have to do. And it's now in person, you don't have any pimples. I don't see one. Yeah. I have makeup on, which is, but I feel confident in my skin. I'm very happy. Yeah, you look beautiful. Thank you. Thank you. It's, I feel really good about it. And it's not like I'm, you know, itching to do Accutane again, but I think it's important to talk about it because it literally changed my skin.

41:16It changed my, I mean, I recently started dating someone six months ago and I think it's because I, I didn't have acne. Like I was just a better version of myself. Like I was so much more confident. Acne has just been hard. Well, I think like stuff like that, that like has a mental health impact that makes you more confident even like you know sometimes people say don't do this or don't i don't have a specific example but if it's something that makes you more confident so that you can then go live other areas of life more productively or in a happier way then i think like sometimes the health benefit outweighs even if if the thing that you're doing is quote unquote like not the greatest for you does that make sense yeah yeah like you know that's why alcohol gets a really bad rap these days but i'm like in some instances like i'm not telling people to when i have to sit next dinner to some boring person i'm having a cocktail like i don't know what to say as you should yeah i have to entertain myself.

42:02But my point is, is like some things in life, like if they will help in other areas, I think like there's a little give and take where it's worth it. So in your case, if Accutane made you more confident and made you feel better and happier, that's going to pay dividends in a million other areas. So it's like probably a good thing to do. Yeah. What's the scariest part about what you share online? Because you share a lot of intimate things you're sharing your cast, like you're sharing with us online. What's the most overwhelming part for you? I mean that's a loaded question because i'm very happy to share pretty much everything I like my reasons for everything I do so i've been vocal about pretty much everything In terms of like i've had two breast augmentations I just did a podcast episode about what I wish I would have done differently the first time around So I didn't have to get a second one.

42:48I talk about botox. I talk about lymphatic drainage I talked about accutane. I was like i'm starting accutane like here we go and so I think the scariest thing is with me being on social media I have a business so macro habits like influencing to me is marketing for macro habits so every once in a while when a video gets on the wrong side of the algorithm and I get like attacked for something my fear goes towards okay I am selling a coaching program I employ coaches I don't want to upset anyone but also I'm always going to show up as myself and I'm very confident in who I am. And sometimes upsetting people gets you.

43:27Right. It's an 80-20. Yeah. You know, you will like, we never have anything that ends up on the wrong side of the tracks. It's always, it's always right down. Right. Can't please everyone. So the scariest part is when you feel like something's affecting your business. Yeah. Because of a decision that I'm sharing. But then again, like I don't take it down. Like I just got roasted for a Botox mug. Don't look. Don't look. Yeah. I don't. You want my advice? Don't look. You know what I do? I don't say out of mind. I live in my bubble. I don't look like I I'm not going to take on other people's energy like I just am not going to take it on and you just don't look it's good advice I like it's literally that simple yeah don't look there was a time on the internet we're older than you where looking was more productive meaning like in the earlier days of the internet like there was positive feedback there was a lot of like constructive criticism yeah there's a lot of constructive criticism a lot of positive feedback you were able to like kind of inform the content based on what the now it's like you're too fat you're too skinny you're too this you're too much now the problem is especially with the way these algorithms exist is they're all interest-based algorithms funny enough i just hosted a dinner with the head of instagram we were talking about this and like someone may see this clip that has no clue who we are or who you are based on the interest and so it's out of context and then that person i mean you see it happening all the time now like yeah and so it's it's a bummer because is there's a lot of people that either listen to this show or follow you or been around that you want to engage with that are good people.

44:52I usually do that in the DMs, funny enough. But like public comments, you have to be really careful now. One, paying attention to them and two, taking them seriously because you just can't cipher anymore. Like who's there for the right reasons and who just stumbled there. It's like, you know, here's what I compare it to. When you walk into a room full of people and there's a cocktail party, I don't want to know what every single person in the rooms thinking of me. Yeah. I don't really, I don't want to know because what they think of me is none of my business. It's the same with the comment section.

45:20I don't need to know everyone's, and by the way, I'm also talking about positive comments because you don't want to get drunk on positive comments either. So it's like, for me, it's just like, I'll engage with someone when I see something quick. I love writing back, like Michael said in the DMs, if there's a comment that I see, but I can't like get on board with reading every single thing, good or bad. to like doing what I do at Dear Media, like not doing this show. We work with a lot of talent and creators and influencers and celebrities, whatever you call them these days. And the ones that I think have always struggled the most to kind of like take off are the ones that are so petrified of like what public opinion is saying in any given moment in time.

45:59Like I can see it. Like they'll come, they'll be like, oh, I did this. What should I take it down? Should I leave it up? And it's like, and it kind of just never takes off. Like because they're too scared to kind of like step in a direction that they believe in. They're too worried about appeasing the crowds. And like from a business perspective, if I was putting that hat on, like I can't do a lot with that because it just kind of stays in the middle and never really like gets anywhere. You have to like your reasons. Like you have to, like, I know who I am. I feel like this is like segwaying into a different conversation of like, you need to know your internal values just as much as your external.

46:34And if you put all your emphasis on your external values, you're not going to make it. You're going to be like destroyed. Like if because people are not going to like the way you look, they're going to pick apart every little thing. Like I put my body online a lot in terms of like tracking macros, workout programs, like it's a lot of body footage. And I am so fine if someone doesn't like the way I look in that realm. I think I lead internally. I also know the person that I am. I know how I show up to my family, my friends, to the person at the coffee shop. So if you are starting something online and you're worried about, you know, controversy, a little controversy or whatever, I agree with you.

47:10I think that you're, you gotta have a really thick skin and you gotta know who you are and you gotta be confident in it. The thing is about putting anything online is you just have to know with 100 % certainty that people are going to dislike you. Yeah. Which is hard sometimes. But for anyone, like there's universally for anyone, I think like there's always somebody that if you're putting yourself out there doing something differently on your terms speaking authentically in your voice there's always going to be somebody that has something bad it's like a muscle though so like as soon as you get the more you work that muscle it's like gratitude the more you work it the stronger it gets when you just get to a point where you're like but i think like if you have that perspective and you know that with certainty then it's like it kind of takes all the fear because i think a lot of creators are new people starting online they get in and they're like well i hope everybody likes me it's like if you go in knowing that 100 % is not going to happen, like people will like you, but there's a lot that won't, then it kind of takes the, it's just like, it's part of the equation.

48:05You know what I mean? Yeah. You've talked openly, like you said on your own podcast about your journey with your boobs. Yeah. So Michael, we're all going to take our shirts off and show you our boobs. But you've had quite the journey with your boobs. So tell us about you got a boob job once and then you got it redone. Yes. Okay. So tell us about why you decided to do that. Yeah. So I got my first breast augmentation at 26 and I went to a Beverly Hills surgeon. I did the whole like, it was very glitzy. It was very glamorous. I went in with not knowing enough information. I watched a lot of YouTube vlogs of girls who got breast augmentations that were 5 '2", 5 '3", 5 '0".

48:45And so they were like 350cc is big, like 325cc is big. I'm 5 '10". Like I'm tall. But even when I walked in, you're like, oh my gosh. You look like a model. No, thank you. You're tall. I am tall. I'm a very tall girl. I have an athletic frame. So when I got my first surgery, I, after it was like, I think I went a little bit too small. It was 325cc. So what would you have, if you could go back your first time and tell yourself at 510 what to get, what would you have told yourself? It's what I did my second time, which is 590cc. 590? Which is... What did you do? That's what I'm saying. Wow. That is why I just...

49:17That's good advice though to people who are listening that are tall. What did you do? What do you think I did? first time no second time 400 yeah oh i also had nothing good so i have 30 i was a 34a that's very very i'm impressed with that you want a trophy yeah like oh my god i feel like i feel like that's like a good you can cop a feel tonight go ahead but i yeah i was i honestly just announced my cc on my podcast because it's like my most asked question but i've been nervous not like nervous but just it is like very it's not 590 cc in this day and age is like not common there's a lot more of like a demure look maybe more natural and i wanted a fuller look also i'm 510 i have a broader frame yeah like i just can't and my second surgeon was amazing dr freed in northern california the best experience i've ever had like i did galliflex he went in galliflex galliflex is an internal bra.

50:14So they sew, basically like they sew the implant on top of the muscle. I did over the muscle, which I recommend if you work out. That's another one where it's kind of back and forth. I'm really glad I did over the muscle. There's no like pinching underneath the muscle when you work out. And then that's really helps keep it in place because my first surgery, I had lateral separation and like horrible rippling. You had the lateral separation because you didn't have the internal bra or because you were lifting? I didn't have the internal bra and my surgeon gave me no guidance and like don't do a lot of chest.

50:42I just lifted chest once a day as normal. And so that really started to separate them. And then what happened is like you can you start to be able to see the bag through the skin. And so I'm in a bikini and you can like see the implant bag on the outside, like rippling through the skin. So you what you ended up going with and what you like is 590 for you because you are 510 and you said that that fits with your body. Yes. And then you did a lateral. I did Galliflex. And I actually went in through the nipple too. Okay. And then you said something else. You did it over the muscle. Over the muscle.

51:14That's interesting. I've never heard that. I've heard more under the muscle. Yeah. It's because you lift. I lift. And so, and I don't, I do not lift heavy chest anymore. And I just, I mean, I'm very careful with chest exercises. I do a lot of upper body. Like I'm all about like toned arms. I've worked really hard to tone my arms, but I don't do a ton of chest movements because it does like, just genetically like my original boobs sat more laterally like everyone has a starting point and so it's really important to listen to your surgeon and go to a credible surgeon that you get recommended from yes I had a friend go to this next the second surgery surgeon Dr.

51:48Freed had an incredible experience I then went to him and had an incredible experience so you know that it's incredible experience yeah I 590 to me sounds big but looking at you you look balanced thank you does that make sense like it feels like that's why it's so important to not just get the ccs that someone says what would happen to somebody that's like if they were five six and they had a b cup and they got 590 would be like ridiculous right it'd probably be like me getting 700 or something i don't know it'd be like if i got 590 i mean you saw how big my 400 because when you had like a big b cup before right i had a i had a big b cup before so then you add i got you so you were yeah you were were you a double d when i got when i got 400 yeah double d those things were they were huge they were bigger than you but i'm like i'm sorry like i wanted i mean i didn't have any boobs i wanted big boobs like i don't i don't i think everyone's different i just think that like to look at what someone else has gotten cc's and base it off that it's you're right you have to see what you look like before like how tall are you how broad are your shoulders like there's so many different things that go into it it's not one size fits all exactly okay i'm glad we got that we got that out of we got that out of our carson you got that you wrote that down so okay why don't you walk us through because i know you're a bowl of meat girl yes what you eat in a day and walk us through the supplements and everything and michael sorry but i this is really important especially with hannah on the podcast that we hear this i've not stopped anything i keep up No, this is so in a normal.

53:18You can tell us later about your penis implant. I wish. It's 590. I'll go for 700. There you go. In a normal what I eat in a day, I love hard-boiled eggs. So I do like, I'm gonna do like three to four hard-boiled eggs in the morning. And I'll do with cottage cheese too on the side, a little hot sauce, or I'll do Greek yogurt. I love Greek yogurt. I'll mix it with cottage cheese. How many hard-boiled eggs? Three to four. Three to four. and then greek yogurt mixed with cottage cheese with fruit I like to put some flaxseed in there and then I'll do a little granola I like I have a variety of granolas that I kind of will dabble with but it's one of those or I'll do both of those depending on my day like one thing with tracking macros if I have a crazy busy day I am loading up on the protein in the morning to keep me satiated and actually help me hit my protein because I aim for about 140 to 160 a day So usually I land like around 150, which is great And then for lunch, I love tuna like I do a lot of tuna salad I'll do shredder rotisserie chicken.

54:19I'll do Even like an egg white omelet sometimes i'll do that I keep lunch really simple like i'm busy. So i'm eating things like i'm not Really going all out until dinner and then dinner. I love steak ground beef ground turkey I'll do I do a lot of like ground beef bowls now that i'm in a relationship i cook for my boyfriend a lot so it's easier to cook like more fun meals that are a little bit like higher volume they're a little bit more variety i know i love to cook i'm sorry a couple notes i do other things than cook yeah you do no she yeah you have no you can't i'm not a fucking octopus yeah no that's what i tell my boyfriend sometimes i'm like i feel like i'm just doing all these things i don't have kids yet and i'm like you know boom boom boom oh and that's why i'm waiting i am waiting you will put your castor oil dot in your stomach and one will come over and hit it off your yeah you'll you have to message me when you have kids go on go on you gotta be careful with this boyfriend because what's happening is you're setting the bar real high you gotta maintain i want to talk about that you gotta maintain the bar no we're gonna talk about the bar low yeah there you go okay but moving on to dinner it's some type of protein and i'll do like sweet potato i'm obsessed with potatoes so i'll always do roasted a sweet potato or roasted normal potatoes.

55:30Sometimes I'll do like cinnamon on them. Sometimes I'll do onion powder, salt and pepper. And there's a protein. I also love salmon. Like I'm like the least picky eater ever. I kind of will eat anything. We'll do like a green to like broccoli. Sometimes like he loves bread. So we'll do like sourdough, something in that realm or like a big salad, big, a lot of bowls and salads. And then I love a treat. So I have a treat like every night. Like I have a sweet tooth. That's where I like, that's why I love tracking macros. What's the macro habits treat? I love there's this hot chocolate mix I'm obsessed with.

56:01It's from the company Powders. It's called Snooze Hot Chocolate. The chocolate caramel is so good. And I'm going to get very detail oriented because I make it perfect. So it's 20 calories too. It has like L-theanine, magnesium, chamomile. It helps you sleep. It's a sleep thing. Yeah, it helps you kind of like wind down. And so I'll do one scoop of that and like eight to 10 ounces of boiling hot water. You got to froth it for it to like fully emulsify. You always got to froth it. Yes. and I'll do like two to three ounces of whole milk. I am a whole milk girl. I love milk, especially my lattes in the morning.

56:32That's another eight grams of protein I'll get is just my whole milk latte. It's so good. It's so satiating. I can't even talk about milk anymore. I'm milked out. If I'm a cow, like the udder has been completely drained. I can't talk about milk anymore. I love whole milk too. Yes. It's so good. So I'll do two to three ounces of whole milk and then like a little whipped cream. If I'm feeling fancy, I do that. That's kind of what I do throughout the week. That sounds like a cocktail I can give my kids. It's like, go to sleep. Here's some hot chocolate. Exactly. And then it like puts them to sleep like Benadryl.

57:02Yes, it's a hack. I'm sure I should try it on like one of my nieces because it's so good. So I do that. But I love getting ice cream. Like I'm an ice cream girl. So usually one day of the week, we'll go and get ice cream. All right, let's talk about prenatals. All three of my pregnancies, I have taken the same prenatal. And that shouldn't surprise you. It's the number one best-selling prenatal, but most importantly, it's the only leading prenatal backed by its own human clinical trial. That's wild. Essential prenatal was shown to help deliver key nutrients, including folate, biotin, and vitamin D.

57:40That's why I take ritual. Moms taking ritual had lower overall cortisol levels during pregnancy than those taking a leading prenatal. To me, what I like about ritual is it takes the guesswork out of it. I don't need to worry about it. They select bioavailable key nutrients designed for optimal absorption. And they also have a methylated folate in essential prenatal, which is clinically proven to be well absorbed. We had Gary Brecka on the show. He talked about the importance of methylated folate. So this again, takes all the pain points out for you. I personally also take Ritual's multivitamin now that I'm not pregnant.

58:18It's a little minty. It has good essence. It doesn't give you burps. This brand is very thoughtful when it comes to hitting all the points for women. When it comes to pregnancy, moms taking Ritual reported their prenatal to be easier to swallow, gentler on the stomach, and a better overall positive experience than those taking a leading prenatal.

So many times during the day, I just want a drink that feels real.

58:53Something bubbly and cultured that tastes great and actually heals my gut. That's why I've been drinking so much Synergy kombucha. Both at the studio and at home, our fridge is always stocked with Synergy. Here's the thing. This is real kombucha. No shortcuts. It's always raw and never pasteurized. Synergy is made with real organic ingredients that you can see and taste. and that's how you know they're working. You're getting scientifically backed benefits with every sip, like gut health, digestive support, immunity, and protein absorption. Synergy is the OG kombucha and I've always loved their story, which goes back 30 years.

59:30Founder GT Dave first began brewing in his parents' kitchen in 1995 after his mother's breast cancer diagnosis. Inspired by her recovery and the healing powers of kombucha, he kept perfecting the recipe and eventually shared it with the world. That very same recipe is what you'll still find on shelves today, crafted with authenticity and trusted for its real benefits. Each bottle delivers 9 billion living probiotics across a diverse spectrum of beneficial bacteria you won't find in your average supplement. That diversity comes naturally from the way each batch is slowly fermented. These living cultures work hard to help your gut thrive.

1:00:09And when your gut microbiome is more diverse, the benefits multiply, all working to make your gut feel better. It's a daily reset for your body any time of day that you'll actually feel. And Synergy doesn't just improve your wellness. It also tastes great. There are over 20 bold flavors, so you'll definitely find one that you love. I've been into Synergy forever, and I usually gravitate towards the tropical flavors, but this fall I've been reaching for more flavors that celebrate the season. Honeycrisp apple, cranberry, blood orange. They really have a flavor for everyone. Each one is tangy, vibrant, and naturally bubbly.

1:00:46There's a party in every bottle. There's a reason kombucha is my go-to, and of course, there's a reason it's always Synergy. They were the first bottled kombucha paving the way for kombucha as we know it, and it's been the number one in the U.S. and worldwide for over 30 years. So sip it, love your gut, and feel the power of kombucha when it's crafted the right way. The Synergy team can't wait for you to experience the gut health benefits of real kombucha. So they're treating you to a free bottle. Just slide into at Synergy Kombucha's DMs on Instagram and send them the code Synergy Skinny to claim your coupon.

Okay, this has been something that I have been working on for the last year. Introducing face towels. Your skincare routine has been reimagined once again. There is no more using butthole towels on your face. There is no more using the towel that your boyfriend has used on his balls. You are going to be using the cleanest face towel on your face with no formaldehyde, no inks, no fragrances, no dyes, no BPA. Okay. Our towels are so thoughtfully designed.

1:02:07They're vegan. They're cruelty-free because your skin deserves the best. I, a long time ago, wrote a blog post about how a lot of people are washing their face and then they're drying their face with the same towels that they're using on their body. Or they're using a towel that maybe has a bunch of, I don't know, detergent in it. So I wanted to create something that was fresh to remove your makeup, to remove your oil without irritation. I wanted it to be buttery soft. I wanted it to be 100 % sustainable bamboo, silky soft. You never have to worry about buildup with these towels. It's just like a breath of fresh air for your face.

1:02:43So how I use them is two ways. The first way is I will cleanse my skin with an oil cleanser and then I'll exfoliate it. And I'll do this in the shower or in my sink. And then if I get out of the shower or I'm done with my sink, I'll take my towel and I'll pat it across my face and my neck to dry my skin off. My skin feels so much cleaner doing it with a facial towel than using some random towel that who knows where it's been. So if you want to support a healthy skin barrier and you want something really sensitive, especially if you have acne or you have hyperpigmentation, This has a really gentle texture.

1:03:21It's absolutely beautiful. I'm such a fan. I've been using them for a long time. I know you guys have maybe seen them in my Instagram stories. Each box includes 50 disposable face towels. And like I said, they're made from 100 % sustainable bamboo. This is the travel size. It's like a little box that you can throw in your makeup bag. And then we also have the one that can sit on your vanity. It's a box that you want out. It's so cute. It's baby pink. And I should tell you the towels are shaped like a doily. So that's fun too. Go to shop skinnyconfidential.com to grab your face towels today. If you drink a cocktail, what is it?

1:03:59I don't drink alcohol. I knew you were going to say that. Yeah. So is that a choice because you don't like alcohol or because of something else? It's a choice I made because it just, I never loved it. And when I would drink, I just didn't feel like I was the best version of myself. I didn't like the way I felt the next morning. I felt puffy. I also like always would throw up the next morning. Sorry to get like, like graphic, but I just, my body didn't like it. A lot of alcoholism on my dad's side of the family. One, one side of my family is like very different than the other. So I think I just saw that as a child.

1:04:30Also, my parents don't drink and they've never made it a villain in my house. It just was something they never participated in, especially my dad. He just was always like, it tastes gross. Like I don't want to drink it. And And so as a kid, I was like, oh, why would I want to drink something that tastes gross? And then when I did kind of dabble with alcohol in college and after college, I just like didn't love it. And so I made a decision. I'm like, I'm just not going to drink. Also, you're so regimented. Is that how you say the word? Yeah. In your routine that I think that that would maybe disrupt that.

1:04:59It's really not good for you. It's horrible for you. The younger generations don't drink as much. Okay. Well, I like, I'm like, that's my advice. I like a cocktail usually once a week. I like to sit down with my margarita, maybe some chips and salsa. Yeah. Which is, and I'm not, like, I think that's great. And like, you have to do it. No, no, it's not great. It's terrible for you. But it's like, if you have a healthy relationship with it and that's your thing, great. Like tons of clients in our program have a glass of wine here. And they're like, I think there's nothing wrong with that. Just personally for me, it just doesn't, it's not something I like need.

1:05:30I love my morning coffee. I love having a treat at night. Like there's other things I want to spend the calories in. That's another thing. It's not worth the calories to me. I totally, I totally understand. Yeah. No, you don't. Yeah. I did. I went alcohol free three times for 10 months. Oh, for the babies. Yeah. What is your opinion on peptides? Oh, I'm obsessed. I'm on them right now. Which ones? So I just wrapped up a cycle of CJC1295 plus epimorelin, which is the growth hormone one, which helps stimulate muscle growth, helps with fat loss, body recomposition, sleep. And then I did BPC157. I did that combo together for three months.

1:06:07I'm stopping CJC periodically. Now I'm on a glow blend, which I feel like you are going to be really interested in this because it's for like your collagen, your skin health. It's TB500, BPC157, and then copper. So GHK-CU. It's GM me all these different ones. I'll DM you all of them. But I'm on the glow blend right now. And peptides, like I've noticed a big difference. I feel like someone looking at me might notice a difference, but obviously everyone hyperfixates on themselves. And when you're in that fine tuning phase, little changes like are exciting. Yeah. So I've noticed a lot more vascularity.

1:06:39Like when I'm lifting, I have like more of a pump. I do feel like I put on a little bit more muscle, which is exciting for me. I'm 5 '10". It's very hard for me to build muscle. Like for me to build arm muscle, like my arm is so long. I know it sounds kind of weird, but it's harder for me to build muscle than a shorter person. That makes sense. I understand that. Yeah. Sometimes I get like, I don't know. I'm like, that is how, that is my experience. I have to put in the work in the gym to build a little muscle periodically over a long period of time and eat a ton of protein. How has mouth taping changed your life?

1:07:08And I feel like I can ask you this because I've seen you do it night after night after night. Okay. I think it's helped my jawline. I really do. Like, I think it's on my jawline. My sleep is so much better. I'm also like a dental high. I'm very into like oral health and I know it's bad to mouth breathe. that's bad for like your breath. I just feel like. It makes your breath smell to mouth breathe. Yeah. Put the tape on. I also just feel like when I, I'm very, I'm a creature of habit. And when I do a routine, my body responds well. So when I put that mouth tape on, I take my let me sleep, brush my teeth, put my mouth tape on, castor oil.

1:07:42And I'm like, okay, I'm ready to go to bed. Like my body. Yeah. And I sleep really good. I love it. And it's like, it's funny because my boyfriend, like I'm trying to get him to mouth tape and he like, it's like, I'm suffocating. I'm like man up put it on even when I have a cold I do it that's the best time to do it it's horrible for 10 minutes you're dying but when you get through the 10 minutes your sinuses are cleared it's so weird it's amazing we have kids obviously little kids you will watch them you'll see obviously this happens with pacifist but naturally the kids want to breathe out of their nose and when you can let you can like kind of help them get there and once they start doing it their sleep is do you mouth tape your kids we don't mouth tape our kids that'd be a little extreme but i asked but we do i asked my daughter i said can you can you do little kids if you want but no but they make one for kids but you can just go in and like push their like like sometimes they'll go and i'll see my son right now because he's four months and if it's mouth open i'll go like this and it'll he'll like fit for a second but then all of a sudden he'll get into like a deep nasal sleep.

1:08:48I've been closing my kid's mouth like since they were born. Even when they were newborns, I'm always closing their mouth. It's really, really good to promote the nasal breathing. Think about it from like just a jaw structure perspective and why people's jaw lines will improve is you're just like walking around with your mouth hanging open nine hours a day. Like you're going to get a slack jaw look. Well, gravity is real. I don't have I have a reverse issue where I have to figure it out that causes other things where I clench at night so like mine's the exact opposite it's a centimeter open no no no i literally talked to dr jerry the other day has helped my clenching yes i think you need to try mouth yeah i'm like in there deep like yeah but that causes another form of sleep apnea which i gotta follow massage no i need to do that and i get bad headaches so i need if they're like saying i gotta like yeah i got all sorts of things so you love mouth taping love it okay i'm obsessed with it too and it's fun to talk to someone that's seen the jawline benefits because it's such a weird one but it makes your masseter muscle if you would have looked at us previous to mouth tape it would have been like she would have been like hanging open and i would have been like clenched shut so we need like i need to be like a little bit less clenched needs to be a little tighter yeah you need to find somewhere in the middle with the masseters really quick one thing about like tmj is i don't know if you've heard this but the masseter botox that you get it in like you get it right here releases it that can also cause jowling so i got i got masseter botox and i didn't like this was like probably this is like a year and a half ago and I didn't like the way like it slimmed my face too much.

1:10:12Huh. So I think that's something to be careful of. If you have TMJ, like a lot of injectors are, you know, prone to like, yeah, like get the master Botox. It does help the TMJ, but you have to be careful of the way your face shape is. Do you know what I just got yesterday? What? I feel like I can tell you this. Uh, trap talks. Oh, I've been, that is, that's something I'm really interested in. I noticed that I was putting a lot of like in my traps and I want to activate my back. Yeah. Like with weights. Yeah. So my trainer and I talked and she was like, let's try trap talks to relax. And I got it in my traps.

1:10:49It was really quick. She went and then automatically you can feel your traps just relax out of your ears. And it's almost like a weight is out of the shoulder. Okay. It's really, listen, everyone's gotta do them but I liked how it felt I'm not a huge Botox person and all over the face I like it in between my lines on my face and then my forehead but the trap talks was interesting to me and I like how it looks yeah no I've seen that I've seen a lot of that on Instagram a lot of girls who lift do it because it helps transfer the energy like you said to your back I feel like for body recomp having big traps for girls is not something that like you're trying to get that muscle will like overtake.

1:11:31Yes. A lot of mind to muscle connection. I think if you lift weights, it's worth looking into. I liked it. If you were to leave our audience with a bunch of tips and tricks as a coach that you think will really help with wellness and weight loss and metabolism support, go off. Give us all the tips. Yeah. I think slowly increasing your protein intake is key. Not only is that going to boost your metabolism, protein is like the hardest macronutrient to break down so your body burns the most calories digesting protein so when you're eating protein you're boosting your metabolism you're also growing your hair with the aminos yes hair skin nails all of that stuff and then i would say if with food that's like my takeaway is eat more protein but if you're only eating 50 grams a day don't jump to 150 like don't watch my what i eat a 150 like i would go to 80 and then i would so go your body level slowly go up so you that like indigestion and bloating issues that protein can sometimes cause.

1:12:31What's your favorite protein powder? Active Stacks chocolate. It's a beef collagen protein. It's three ingredients. It's dairy-free, gluten-free. It's so good. The chocolate's the best. Get the chocolate. I have like, that was the first affiliate I ever had, even like starting macro habits. Like it is the best chocolate protein. That's, that's the one I would recommend to anyone. And it's also dairy-free, gluten-free. Some majority of people can have it. I like to just make a protein shake, ice, milk, blend it up. And it actually has like a really good chocolate milk taste. It doesn't have like a gritty, super whey heavy protein.

1:13:03It's beef collagen. So it's so good for like your hair, skin and nails, all of that stuff. It's low calorie, high protein. That's my go-to protein powder. So eat more protein. And then I would move your body in a way that you look forward to. Like if you are waking up every day and you're dreading your workout, change it. Agreed. Like I I wake up in the morning people like how do you wake up so early I'm like my morning is my favorite part of my day like it is a quiet part of the day I romanticize it I have a very structured morning routine my morning is like my mind body and spirit like I'm getting right in all areas the morning routine so I wake up between 4 30 and 5 30 I know I'm an early riser I know I love it though like I love the morning I go to bed early so I'm getting like a good amount of sleep and then the first thing I do is I pray I get on my knees I say a prayer that's something that like has really changed my life is like fostering my relationship with God.

1:13:52And really, like I was, I grew up in a religious home. I actually grew up Mormon, but I'm not active Mormon anymore. And I think developing a relationship with God outside of religion has truly changed my life. So I like to pray in the morning and I turn on worship music for 15 minutes. And I have a worship music playlist that's really, really good. And it just like gets my mind right. It's before I listen to podcasts or listen to music. Like I just feel like that 20 minutes of the day is really important. And then I like, I kind of like take my castor oil patch off. I have my workout clothes laid out.

1:14:24Everything's laid out the night before. So I wake up, I know exactly what I'm wearing. My pre-workout is right there. I have my water filled. Everything I need is on the table. So I like your morning routine starts at night. If you wake up in the morning, you have no idea what you're going to wear. You're not going to get out of bed. When I get out of bed, I'm like, that's there. That's there. I know what I'm going to do. I know the workout I'm doing. I know what I'm lifting. Very structured in that way. And I ice roll on the way to the gym. so I put on my sunscreen I'll gouache out sometimes but usually I'll gouache out before I shower I just roll on the way to the gym get to the gym do my workout I have coffee after electrolytes the protein all that stuff so you have your structure yeah okay keep going with what you were saying with with the audience you're giving us all the tips to be our best self move your body in a way that you like like if you are dreading your workout change it I always recommend strength training but if you're going in the gym and you're killing yourself and you're sore the next day, change the way you work out.

1:15:16I used to be so sore after I lifted and I was like, oh, I'm doing a great job, but I was puffy. I had a lot of inflammation. I've honestly like lost more inflammation than last year. It might seem like I've lost weight, but it really is just like inflammation and water retention. And then I would say doing some type of outdoor walk, whether it's 15 minutes to 30 minutes is really beneficial for the mental health. And then I would say 100 ounces of water We've got the tips here I'm going to do the castor oil belly button Michael I'm going to be dropping that You should do it Clean the lint out of your belly button See how you feel I got a deep belly button This belly button whenever he puts a shirt on Has lint that's a mile long Some people have deeper belly buttons Lauren You really should try it I would recommend that everyone who's listening go and follow you because I feel like your content is like what it's very like the same vibe of the skinny confidential.

1:16:18Like it's very like you're so disciplined and you make it happen. And you've really, to me, like created your own future. And I admire that. Thank you. Where can everyone find you? Where can they book a program with you? Where can they count their macros with you? Tell us. So my Instagram handle is at macro underscore habits. and then my podcast I just launched is Macrabbits podcast it's on YouTube you can find on any anywhere you listen and then if you're wanting a workout program I'm on playbook and all this is linked to my Instagram so curves and core just launched and it's a four-week dumbbell program there's dumbbells bands on a bench so it's easy to do when you're traveling like November is a busy month so I highly recommend doing the curves and core program it's a lot of glutes in this one I have programs that are more upper body focused.

1:17:02This one's a lot of glutes. So I would do that. And then you can also, all my coaching is on macrohabits.com. I have a 12 week one-on-one program. We're booking for November, December, January. And then I have custom independent macro plan. So if you're someone that has experience in tracking macros and you just need a reverse dieting plan, or you need a new macro split, or you want my opinion, you can go fill out the start form on my website. That's kind of like step number one. And then I'm also on TikTok, Hannah.Poynter, but I would say I spend most of my time on Instagram. Thank you so much for coming on the show.

1:17:32Thank you so much for having me. We really appreciate it. So many good tips. Thank you.
