Got Milk, milk, it does the body good. We ate so much milk growing up, we drank it, we ate it on our cereal. We used it in everything, tons of ice cream and cheese. I was the Dairy Queen, and yogurt. It's healthy for you, right? I mean, it has all those good bacteria in it that your body needs. And then you know it was Greek yogurt, it's even healthier. So we grew up thinking that milk made us strong and healthy. But is that really true? Today we're sharing with you the things we just wish we had known about dairy so many years ago, you're listening to the smarter Healthy Living podcast where we firmly believe that getting healthy should never feel like torture. We're your host, Jared and Anita Roussel were college sweethearts, and health professionals who help you redefine what getting healthy looks like using a whole food plant based lifestyle. It's time to hear from the experts and learn the best tips and tricks that helped others get beyond the overwhelm, to create a vibrant life they love. If you're sick and tired of being sick, and tired, you're in the right place. So pull up a virtual chair, grab your matcha latte. And let's get started.
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.370
If this is your first time joining us, first of all, welcome.
00:01:21.609 --> 00:01:35.530
We're so glad to have you here. And the interesting thing about joining us on this one is this is something we get asked about all the time because people are floored when they find out we don't eat dairy.
00:01:31.299 --> 00:01:43.090
What you don't drink milk. Why do you get your calcium? It's not calcium, by the way, it's calcium. And another questions.
00:01:40.209 --> 00:02:20.379
They'll say, Well, where do you get your protein same type of thing with with me, right? And so they're just so surprised. I don't understand how in the world we can, and I get it. I mean years ago, it would have freaked me out to even think about going without cheese. I was so I was truly I was addicted to it. I mean, I ate it every single day. It got to the point that really my favorite snack was sharp cheddar cheese and chips, like corn chips. I think when we first talked about going without dairy, you instantly went into this mini withdrawal like these little shakes and like what? No, no dairy. No kidding, I'm kidding.
00:02:20.379 --> 00:02:46.599
She didn't actually do that. But you know, in my mind, I probably did. Because the thought of that when you think about something that you love, and you think about no longer eating it, it'd be easy to get fixated on that, right. But what I didn't realize were there's so many amazing things that you can have in place of that. And I honestly never thought I would have ever said this, but I do not miss it.
00:02:40.719 --> 00:03:28.300
I don't miss it. And thank God, I don't crave it. I'm just gonna say I mean, I was where I would crave it. If I didn't need it on a daily basis, it has absolutely no attraction or pull on and it's something a friend of ours calls food freedom. And it truly is what living this way brings you the looses that addictive hold where you're just thinking all the time about eating in general, but then just eating the certain foods, like the really fatty foods, and particularly dairy. And there's a reason why we crave it. It's very real. I mean, if you have a craving for butter, and those types of things, milk, ice cream cheese, particularly those kind of things where they're, they're concentrated proteins in there.
00:03:28.419 --> 00:05:00.250
And we're going to talk to you about how did those proteins affect your body? And why do you crave them, it's very real, it's very real, it's not something you're just imagining or thinking, well, I just really love this. There's a reason why you really love it. I really loved it, too. I get it, you know, mac and cheese and all these other things, I still eat it, but I just eat it in a different way that I love that makes me feel great. And I don't have to have it. I don't crave it all the time, which is amazing. It's wonderful to be free. So what we want to talk about in this particular episode is why we don't drink milk, some of the different aspects of it, and just share some of the thought process with you. I think the first thing that was really huge once we wrapped our minds around it is that people we're the only living thing on earth that drinks the milk of another. There's no other animal and all of creation that drinks the milk of an animal. Yeah, you have to think about that. And what is it for I mean, really, you wouldn't just go to a cow and start eating the milk. You just wouldn't I mean that's it's not natural. So why are we drinking the milk of another species that was meant to feed its its, its baby. That's the whole purpose of it, whether it's a cow sheep or goat, a baby human, but think about that with a cow. So that milk has to grow that cat and it's perfectly
00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:04.139
Can't compose perfectly formulated for that baby calf.
00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:05.519
But what's it going to grow it into?
00:05:05.699 --> 00:05:11.699
It's going to grow it into a big cow, it's going to gain a few 100 pounds, I believe in that first year.
00:05:11.848 --> 00:05:33.809
So there's a reason that when we eat a lot of dairy, we gain weight and we can't lose it. I don't understand why I'm not losing weight. Well, it's not just about calories in calories out. Yes, it's a high calorie food. But it has an addictive component that we're going to talk about today. And that's very, it's biological.
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:52.649
It's scientifically proven. We know it's there. But we're not we're not told about it, because people want to sell milk that collects the milk. And so you've got to think about what was it intended for it was intended to grow a calf into a cow. So if I'm having weight struggles, and I eat a lot of dairy, that could be a huge part of the problem.
00:05:52.829 --> 00:06:24.928
Oh, yes. Now, the next thing is, you hear about people being lactose intolerant, about two thirds of the world's population is actually lactose intolerance. Now, what is what is lactose? It's actually a sugar found in milk. And it's composed of two simple sugars, that meaning one glucose, and one galactose. So you've got these two simple sugars they bind to create what's called a die saccharide. All that means is just two sugar molecules.
00:06:20.728 --> 00:06:30.269
Well as infants lactose, then that's lactose. So as an infant, we have the enzymes to break that down
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.300
to break down lactose because human milk has lactose in it,
00:06:33.329 --> 00:06:53.790
it does. And when you break that down, part of that is glucose. Now, our brains need glucose. Actually, the amount of lactose in human milk is 50% higher than what's found in cow milk. And they believe that it's because our brains require so much energy to grow, that it has a higher amount of the sugar found in it.
00:06:53.819 --> 00:06:57.689
So does that mean children need milk? cow milk?
00:06:57.750 --> 00:07:19.319
No, it does not. But in infancy when they're a baby up until about a year or so old, however, they need that but once you wean off of that, we many people throughout the world, two thirds of the world's population lose the ability to break down lactose because we stopped making the enzyme that breaks it down called lactase.
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:27.810
So why do we stop making so much of the lactase enzyme that breaks it down? And then some people stop making it all together? Why is that because
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:31.740
we just don't need it anymore. lactose is only found in milk.
00:07:31.769 --> 00:07:34.019
So that type of sugar isn't found not found
00:07:34.019 --> 00:07:35.519
or anywhere else in plants.
00:07:35.670 --> 00:07:45.959
Okay, so we only make it in infancy because we were only made to drink milk in infancy.
00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:46.139
Correct. Okay, well, that makes sense.
00:07:46.139 --> 00:07:53.160
So then the next question is, why do we drink so much of it? What is that drive?
00:07:48.149 --> 00:07:53.790
That makes us think we need to have this
00:07:53.819 --> 00:07:55.589
I think is something God put in there.
00:07:56.100 --> 00:08:00.509
What I'm talking about for the dairy though, like what as adults for dairy
00:08:00.870 --> 00:08:13.500
is the same with both what makes us want it there's something in it that draws us to it, and it's something God put in there so that infants would keep coming back to the mother to drink their milk to get fed.
00:08:13.620 --> 00:08:15.300
Well, I think you're getting one step ahead of me.
00:08:16.170 --> 00:08:24.420
Because what I was thinking was advertising there's so much advertising that say milk need this that is got
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:26.639
rabbits we crave it. I mean, it used
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:34.860
to be that they would say it milk does a body good, but now they say just got milk.
00:08:30.629 --> 00:08:37.409
And actually the funny thing about that is is they that the
00:08:37.409 --> 00:08:38.820
advertisers had to change that
00:08:38.850 --> 00:08:44.970
advertiser had to change it change it because they could not legally support the claim that it's actually a health food.
00:08:45.240 --> 00:08:48.480
So they can't could no longer say milk it does a
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:53.879
body good they can no longer do that. So they had to change it to just got milk
00:08:53.970 --> 00:08:57.240
because there was no scientific proof that it was good for us is that correct?
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.009
Correct that it was a health food.
00:08:59.309 --> 00:09:03.779
So it's not a health food so they can no longer say that and so they have to say Got Milk
00:09:03.809 --> 00:09:17.700
milk and interestingly a side note with eggs. They say the I don't I haven't heard this in forever but they used to say the Incredible Edible egg they made no they made note well they made no health claims with it.
00:09:14.549 --> 00:09:18.659
All they're saying is that the egg is edible.
00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:21.269
Okay, okay, think about that.
00:09:21.299 --> 00:09:28.590
Me they just say beef it's what's for dinner. They're not making any health claims like same same type thing with beef, right?
00:09:28.620 --> 00:09:30.330
Anyway. Interesting.
00:09:30.809 --> 00:10:05.279
So I think initially it's the we're fed over and over again with advertising and things where we say milk is good for you. So we think we must drink it. But then to the point that you are we're making is that there is a protein found within milk called casing. Now within dairy milk, cow's milk, about 80% of the protein in the milk is is casing Okay, and you may think Well, okay, so what is just a protein? Well in our digestive tract x, it gets broken down into a smaller molecule that is called Kaisa.
00:10:02.490 --> 00:10:05.279
morphine.
00:10:05.610 --> 00:10:07.289
That sounds familiar more morphine,
00:10:07.289 --> 00:10:24.629
yes, it sounds very familiar. It actually has an effect similar to morphine in our brains, it has kind of an addictiveness to it. But waves bringing us back as infants, it brings us back in the case of humans to our mothers,
00:10:25.049 --> 00:10:27.029
and calves, calves to their
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:35.580
sheep, goats, whatever, while they're drinking it, it has this mildly addictive property. So again, it keeps drawing them to that.
00:10:35.610 --> 00:11:09.179
So they'll grow to be healthy adults, because the babies human babies are drinking their mother's milk, calves come back to the cow and drink the cow's milk. And so of course, it's got something in it that would bring us back so that we would grow to be healthy and strong within that species, basically, within that species, but we weren't meant to drink it, we weren't even meant to drink a mother's milk as a human beyond infancy beyond infancy, and our bodies were created to show us that.
00:11:09.719 --> 00:11:42.599
Now, there's some highlight a couple differences between human milk and cow's milk now and human milk. by weight, it's only about point 8.9% protein, okay, and of that Casey makes 20 to 40% of that, in cow's milk, it's 3% protein by weight, and 80% of that is casein. So when you're drinking that you have four times more protein, roughly. And then of the protein, it's two to four times more the protein is casein.
00:11:43.019 --> 00:11:46.470
And that's the that's the thing that keeps bringing you back. Exactly.
00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.590
Okay. And then you look at foods like I
00:11:49.590 --> 00:11:53.100
love degree web, that's a D on there.
00:11:54.210 --> 00:12:07.860
Pinch, you loved it, you can help yourself knockin. But when you look at foods like yogurt, and butter and cheese, where they have concentrated forms of protein, and then it's even more concentrated,
00:12:07.889 --> 00:12:36.750
so you get even more of the casein, which turns into the case. So morphine in the things that are more concentrated like butter, and cheese, exactly. And this is one takeaway that I want people to have, they're listening here, because you think about why you start almost thinking you're a bad person. I mean, you have these struggles with weight, or these struggles with eating these things. And you, you go, and you pull these things out of the refrigerator, and you crave them at night, and you start snacking on them. And we
00:12:37.019 --> 00:12:37.769
get it we've been,
00:12:38.100 --> 00:12:44.759
yeah, and you feel like you're this bad person, because you can't give up this thing.
00:12:41.309 --> 00:12:47.789
And it's got a hold on you. But we want you to understand why.
00:12:44.759 --> 00:13:05.340
And that's why we're sharing this with you today. Because nobody seems to be talking about these things. And these are things that have been shown in scientific research over and over and over again for years and years. Why aren't we hearing about it? Well, because the manufacturers have a job to do.
00:13:02.429 --> 00:13:05.340
And they try
00:13:05.340 --> 00:13:06.600
to sell more milk, they
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:30.240
try to keep these things out of the media, and try to come up with slogans that make you feel good about what you're drinking, and they make you think it's healthy. And it's not. And if you were never meant to consume it, but there's a reason why we keep coming back for more. And it's not that you're a bad person or that you know, you just can't control yourself. It's because of these.
00:13:26.639 --> 00:13:31.200
It's an addictiveness this addictive nature.
00:13:31.230 --> 00:13:39.299
And when you eat that, and I remember when we crave it, and we eat it, and then you had almost a sense of that is so good, huh? Yeah,
00:13:39.299 --> 00:14:00.929
I totally, I had it all the time. That's why I loved it so much. That's why it was constantly in my cart. But the thing is, I would sit there, and I'm probably jumping ahead of what you want to talk about again. But I remember going to the grocery store walking down the aisle, and I would look forward to getting to the dairy aisle to pick my favorite cheeses, what cheese would it be, or
00:14:00.929 --> 00:14:02.279
even pick a new one to try?
00:14:02.309 --> 00:14:39.690
Yeah, I mean, constantly, we'd be so excited. We come home and we try the cheese. But I remember standing there and looking. This is when we were trying to get healthier. And I would specifically look for that little tiny label that was on there that they made so difficult to find that said, no rbst or no hormones added. And I would feel so good because I thought you know, I'm doing what's healthy for my body. I'm doing what's healthy for my family. If I just buy the milk products, the dairy products, the cheese's, the yogurts, the sour creams that don't have the added hormones, it's healthy.
00:14:40.230 --> 00:14:50.580
And it's and the thing is, and the thing that no one told me is that milk by nature is full of hormones. It's full of hormones.
00:14:50.789 --> 00:15:16.590
And that's why there have been studies that have linked drinking milk with certain types of cancer, eating dairy with certain types of cancers. Like certain types of breast cancer and certain types of prostate cancers, you can look that up, get on Google and look it up, you can pull up the actual research studies, and they're good, and they're trustworthy and reliable research studies.
00:15:13.289 --> 00:15:21.629
And it's because certain types of cancer are promoted and grow with
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:40.649
hormones. Yes. Now, I don't believe any of the studies that I remember seeing actually said that it causes cancer. But the thing that we must know is that I always every single individual on the faces planet, at some point in your life, you will have a cancer cell, because you'll have a genetic mutation.
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:47.909
The beauty of the way we're designed, though, is that our immune system can spot that and boom, get rid of it before it's ever a problem.
00:15:48.059 --> 00:15:56.490
But I don't think it's just some point in your life. I mean, that happens, I think, quite often, where there are certain cells that mutate.
00:15:53.129 --> 00:15:56.490
That's my understanding.
00:15:56.519 --> 00:16:03.330
Yes, well, I mean, it may be at any point of the day, I just don't remember the frequency. But it happens because you think about you have
00:16:03.539 --> 00:16:04.110
everybody
00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:17.399
to everybody, you have trillions of cells in your body, and they're constantly breaking down disease cells and recreating new healthy cells, at some point, you're going to have mutations and you're going to have rogue cells in your body,
00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:40.799
and your body is naturally created to be able to fight those off when it has the fuel it needs. But what they have found, and what Jared was pointing out is that in the research studies that we've read, it's not that necessarily it just causes it causes the cancer is that when you have these cancer cells, certain ones, it can fuel, their growth and their spread,
00:16:40.830 --> 00:16:51.659
because some of these like breast cancer, prostate cancers, they have receptors that are sensitive to some of these hormones, that then stimulates them to grow more of the cancer cells.
00:16:51.688 --> 00:16:54.719
So the hormones that are just naturally in the dairy products that
00:16:54.720 --> 00:16:55.860
are just naturally there.
00:16:56.129 --> 00:17:03.059
Right? Well, then why is there if they say they're not adding it. So some cows, they actually give hormones, they
00:17:03.059 --> 00:17:07.109
give them a synthetic hormone to make them generate more milk.
00:17:07.410 --> 00:17:15.539
So what do we read about the amount of milk now that they require a cow produces, I mean, years ago, it was
00:17:15.569 --> 00:17:37.529
years ago, they would make about 1500 litres per year, and then a cow per cow. And then they raised it to 10,000, I guess, I think it was the quota that they wanted for that cow to generate, and then on a yearly basis was about 1500 liters, right per year. And then that increased to 10,000. Because they can make them generate that much.
00:17:37.529 --> 00:18:31.019
So what that means is I have to give them hormones, artificial hormones, and that's why right, and so when you're not buying the hormone added, you are getting a little less hormones, but you're still getting a ton of hormones. And the reason is, by nature, cow's milk is filled with hormones, because and it's the time that the mother cow has the most hormones in our body, because they keep them pregnant, they're constantly keeping them pregnant to have them make more milk. And when they're pregnant, they have more of those hormones in their body naturally. So buying the rbst free or the hormone added hormone free, you'll see that usually it says added hormone free. And that's because there's hormones naturally in there, a lot of them. And that's just the nature of what it is. It's a hormone filled liquid.
00:18:31.140 --> 00:19:24.660
So the only way to avoid it is to avoid the dairy. Now, there's also two in addition to the estrogen, there is IGF one, and that stands for insulin like growth factor. It's a hormone that looks similar to insulin, there's some some similarity there. But what it does is it stimulates cells to grow. And what they have found is this is also present in milk, which would make sense because it would stimulate the calf to grow just because you want them to get big quickly. But so you would get that in the milk. But then also the findings are suggesting that whatever there may be something else in milk that is causing our own bodies to create insulin like growth factor. And this they find has that will fuel every stage of cancer growth. What will the insulin the IGF one
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:48.390
IGF one. So drinking milk milk actually has IGF one in it meat also does from what I remember. Correct? Correct. So when we take eat that we're getting more of that into our bodies directly from the milk or the meat or the milk based product, whatever it is butter, cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, whatever it is, and but also when we eat it
00:19:48.569 --> 00:19:53.400
stimulates our bodies to make it as well. So you're almost getting a double whammy.
00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:53.400
Wow.
00:19:53.460 --> 00:19:59.069
Okay, and they've linked IGF one with cancer cell growth cancer cells.
00:19:59.099 --> 00:20:05.430
Again, I did not See that it made cancer cells, but cancer cells that are there it can stimulate them to grow and
00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:06.930
spread from what I recall.
00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:29.789
Now I want to get back to the casing, because it's present that we've talked about the case of morphine. So you think, Okay, I'm going to avoid milk? I must be good. Well, unfortunately, no. If you don't read your labels, you may not be good. Because we had a CEO fool.
00:20:24.509 --> 00:20:37.529
We've been fooled before casein is actually separated out of milk, and put into other products. And sometimes products that don't even really need it.
00:20:37.559 --> 00:20:54.539
So So what Jarrod saying is they take the protein casein, the addictive, the protein that can be addictive when it's broken down in the case of morphine, by your body, right, correct. Okay, so that addictive part of milk, they put it in all kinds of products.
00:20:55.200 --> 00:21:01.500
My favorite one that I have seen I saw this work. I've seen it all over. But
00:21:01.529 --> 00:21:13.529
no, I wait, he brought this home. He brought this picture, but it was pictures. at work. I'll never forget you show me that. I was so angry.
00:21:09.240 --> 00:21:21.750
Honestly. I was about to hop up on a literal soapbox. I was so upset because you drink these things. Or you eat these things.
00:21:18.089 --> 00:21:25.650
And you wouldn't even dream it would be in the product. Why not? What was the product called?
00:21:25.950 --> 00:21:53.670
This was a non dairy creamer. In the Name it said non dairy creamer. So when you look at the ingredients list, it says casein well I knew that that was a milk derivative. Now some will put casein and then parentheses a milk derivative. And then under the label where they have to do the little warning of potential allergens. It put contains milk. So I have a non dairy creamer that contains milk.
00:21:54.029 --> 00:21:56.039
I'm sorry, that that? No,
00:21:56.069 --> 00:21:57.180
How's it possible?
00:21:57.210 --> 00:22:19.079
Just know that's an oxymoron. But we don't know we don't know to look for these things. Look for it, look for it on cracker boxes, okay? It's added to so many things Casey, or a raven, or it may say milk protein, it may just say or it may just say something like that. And you may not think anything of it, because it's protein.
00:22:19.230 --> 00:22:21.809
I mean, what harm can it be,
00:22:21.930 --> 00:22:36.269
but the reason they put it in there is to bring you back again and again to that product that is unhealthy for you. So they can sell more of the product. Why else would they put it in there? That's it. It's the reason is there. So
00:22:36.359 --> 00:23:06.059
it is not because we have a protein deficiency. And we've covered that before in another episode where if you eat enough food, you will get enough protein about and this in this country, I should say virtually nobody. Because I mean, there may be some one person, but if you're eating enough food to get enough calories to sustain your body, you are getting enough protein. So they're not putting casein in there as a protein additive. They're doing it because of the case of morphine effect.
00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:09.900
So think about that.
00:23:06.180 --> 00:23:33.599
You're buying products that are dairy free, or that are milk free, or that you would never think milk would even be in and you look on the back and you realize the reason that you have to buy that every time you walk down the aisle. And the reason it draws you in. And the reason that you're having the struggles with your help that you are, is because of these types of things. And they're so sneaky.
00:23:33.930 --> 00:24:00.119
And we want you to be aware of these things. This is why we're completely passionate about what we do. This is why our lives have totally changed, our health is changed. Since we've been eating this way. This is why my energy came back. This is why I used to not be able to climb up one flight of stairs to take my kids into bed at night. All those things you hear me tell about again and again. Because I don't want you to be stuck feeling like I'm exhausted every single day
00:24:00.180 --> 00:24:19.200
when the worst part is during that time, there was really a sense of hopelessness because we had no idea how long it would last we didn't know what was causing it. We didn't know what the the quote unquote cure would be. So you're in that and you could be in that for three months, six months, a couple years. But all you see in your mind is this is never going to end.
00:24:19.289 --> 00:24:28.950
Yeah. And nobody says the rest of my life. These things. I wish I'd had somebody to tell me these things. But we eventually dug and studied and learned it.
00:24:25.140 --> 00:24:38.549
But I would we'd love to hear your stories about you know if this helps you and helps you break free. Feel free to email us and send us questions that you have, because we love talking about these things.
00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:45.930
Alright, now we've mentioned some negatives about milk. Surely there must be some positive things like calcium.
00:24:46.799 --> 00:25:52.890
Yes, it is true. There is calcium in milk because the baby infant needs calcium. But just because, well the cat the calcium for humans I mean it Whatever the the animal or human is, it needs calcium. I mean, that's the only food that that young infant has. So it must have everything that it needs, right? So calcium, our bodies need calcium, there's a lot of calcium in cow's milk. So surely that it must be a good source of that. You can't really use the that though, as a basis for saying you must have that, because you can look at limestone. limestone is high in calcium, but it's not a good source of calcium. Now, it's not the best source, our body will not use that it will not absorb it. Well. It's like eating Tums, they say calcium carbonate, also found in limestone. That's why I came up with that example, that, oh, it's high in calcium. It's a great source, but it's an inorganic source, it's not bound to molecules within the plant.
00:25:48.779 --> 00:25:55.619
So it's not a good absorbable usable source of calcium in her body. So
00:25:55.619 --> 00:26:06.960
there's a difference between a plant bound calcium source and calcium found in cow's milk and how our body absorbs it. Is that what you're saying? Yes. Okay.
00:26:07.230 --> 00:26:21.240
Yes. And then I have to add again, no, not at all. Not at all. You're right on track.
00:26:12.150 --> 00:26:21.240
Okay. So I messed him up. Okay.
00:26:21.750 --> 00:26:25.109
So where do cows get their calcium?
00:26:25.980 --> 00:26:27.539
cows? adult cows?
00:26:27.750 --> 00:26:28.410
Yes.
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:31.019
Where do they get their calcium? I have a guess.
00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:35.759
They get it from plants.
00:26:31.500 --> 00:26:43.650
There it is. Cows don't eat meat. After a calf becomes a cow. They don't drink milk. So they're getting it from the plants? Where do plants get it?
00:26:43.950 --> 00:27:11.640
They get it from the soil? So make sense? Yes. So plants, spinach, I mean, spinach just out is a great source of calcium. And it is, but there are all kinds of other plant plants that have tons of calcium and a lot of the other minerals that our bodies need. And it's actually found that the plant forms are more absorbable. And I believe better used by the body for their specific purposes.
00:27:07.980 --> 00:27:19.470
They're good for strong bones, they're good for muscle function. They're good for nerve function, necessary for your heart, which is a muscle different kind of muscle than your biceps. But
00:27:19.558 --> 00:27:31.798
do you think one of the problems is and this is what I'm thinking that we get? So into this one thing? Like, where do I get my protein? I've got to find all the sources for protein, where do I get my calcium? I've got to find the source set?
00:27:31.949 --> 00:27:34.679
Where do I get my B vitamins?
00:27:31.949 --> 00:27:40.648
Where do I get vitamin A? Where do I get that, and you try to build this lifestyle around remembering which things have which vitamin mineral
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:55.019
was like we're trying to biohack everything like we had, we had this one nutrient we need, and what's the food that has it? Well, there's not always just one food now different, they have different amounts. But if you get a good variety, and you're constantly varying what you eat,
00:27:55.410 --> 00:29:27.750
within the plant realm, if you get a good variety, you're gonna get all the protein you need, you're going to get calcium, plenty of it, and it's absorbable, and your body uses it. Well. This is the thing that you can drive yourself completely crazy, trying to figure out and remember and build a lifestyle around, I need to eat this thing for this vitamin and this thing for that mineral in this thing for that vitamin, there are a couple of things you might need to remember because things like a Megas, getting those in your life may be a little bit harder to do. But for the most part, in the end, that's not hard to do, you can remember those few little things and we teach those on a regular basis. But what you don't want to do is biohack your life and try to live this crazy life that you build around which mineral, which vitamin is in this thing and that thing and this you will drive yourself nuts, it's like trying to count calories, or trying to be able to live your life on a daily basis by portion controlling yourself there or just counting grams of this or points, okay, you got to keep up with your points, right, doing all those things are not going to ever last because that is not a sustainable lifestyle. And it also won't lead to help. And what you need is help you need your cells to be filled well, so you feel amazing, because our thing is, it's not just about losing weight. It's not just about reversing these diseases.
00:29:27.750 --> 00:29:40.019
It's about what is that going to do for you and your life. You know, what we want for you is to find the joy and the freedom and the possibilities that are just going to blow open wide for you.
00:29:40.170 --> 00:29:45.809
When you can get the right things into your body that it absolutely requires that it's just not getting right now.
00:29:45.809 --> 00:29:58.440
Because those places in your life that need to be filled with all these things are taken up with these things that you don't need and that are harmful for you. And you need to find a way to make those things tastes good and that's what we're passionate about.
00:29:59.099 --> 00:30:10.153
One thing I think about If you're listening to this, I like to use car examples. You're gonna think I'm a car guy, but I really am not. It's just such a, it's just such a great example.
00:30:10.213 --> 00:30:35.311
But think of your body like a car. Now, if you have a car where it's missing a spark plug, the fuel injectors are a little kind of gummed up and it's not running. Well, that car's not going to take you anywhere. But let's say you clean it out you overhaul and it's running beautifully. What kind of adventures? Can you go on with that car? Where can that car take you? I mean, like for us, I love my Honda Odyssey. Love.
00:30:35.371 --> 00:30:35.849
Love it.
00:30:35.849 --> 00:30:36.839
Minivan man.
00:30:36.839 --> 00:30:52.669
But it's because it holds our family and we can go on vacation with it. And we can go different places. But it's where it takes us that I love I don't have I don't love the cards I do. But it's not I don't go out and wax it every weekend.
00:30:52.734 --> 00:30:57.990
I just I keep it running well, so that it can take us place. So then we can get
00:30:58.019 --> 00:31:00.869
Yeah, it's about the destination. I agree with you.
00:31:00.869 --> 00:31:36.119
But what about this, it's about the trip to because the trip is going to be a lot more bumpy, oh, that's a lot more a lot less comfortable, right? Like, you don't want to just live a long time to do these things. You want to feel great while you're doing them. You don't want to have to dread getting out of bed in the morning to have to drag yourself out to the pot of coffee that helps you survive throughout the day, and just live for the time and you can fall back into bed again. That is no kind of life to live. You know, you don't want to live your last 10 years, just sitting on the sofa or sitting
00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:36.630
TV.
00:31:36.660 --> 00:31:38.160
Yeah, or sitting in a wheelchair. I mean,
00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:40.740
where's your wife throw that through a screen on the wall?
00:31:41.279 --> 00:32:02.789
No, that's alternate reality that isn't even real life. You want to have real relationships and really help people and really build a legacy with your children and with those around you and build real friendships and feel like going out with your friends after work. I mean, I have friends who've told me I can't even do anything after work. I'm done.
00:32:02.789 --> 00:32:20.190
I'm in Austin, and I just want to, you know, build and fuel my relationships and just I can't, I'm exhausted all the time. And the way we're fueling our bodies. This is why because we've been lied to and these things are snuck into our food and we don't know they're there.
00:32:16.619 --> 00:32:20.190
And we become addicted to them.
00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:25.259
And we don't know. So we don't want that for you. And so that, again, is why we're sharing these things.
00:32:25.289 --> 00:32:32.369
Exactly. That's why we're here today so that you understand. And you have the knowledge to make smart decisions,
00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:47.640
right? And whether or not you decide that we hope that you decide for a better future for yourself, we absolutely want that for you. But we feel like we're not judgmental, we're not going to go, Oh, well, you're not doing this perfect, or Oh, you messed up, or, oh, you're not doing it just like us.
00:32:47.670 --> 00:32:53.789
Everybody has their own path they're going to take and that is the beauty of this and the freedom for me and Jared.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:33:00.390
Because we know that once we give the information, that's just what we want you to have, we want you to be empowered.
00:33:00.390 --> 00:33:19.319
Because when you have the information, you're empowered, you get the power back in your life, your genes don't have to determine your destiny, you know that you can read the labels, you understand how you understand these things about milk that you didn't know before. And a lot of these other things that we talk about, you've got to know those things.
00:33:19.319 --> 00:33:28.710
That's why again, we want you to know them, because then you have a choice. You have a choice to make. But the choice is yours to make.
00:33:28.890 --> 00:33:32.910
But before you knew it, you didn't have the choice because you didn't know that that was there.
00:33:32.970 --> 00:33:46.740
Exactly. So we want you to have these choices. And we want you to know the truth about these things. We want you to understand more of the facts about meat and dairy because you can't make an informed decision.
00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:56.970
If you don't know. One thing we recommend is watching a 2018 documentary and tired hope that's hlp what you eat matters.
00:33:51.539 --> 00:34:06.569
That's the subtitle. It's actually free right now on YouTube. You can just search Google if you can't find it there because it may be available in some other place.
00:34:02.759 --> 00:34:13.800
It's a fantastic documentary. We do not recommend it however, for young children. But for an adult to watch. It's great for it's just a great source of
00:34:14.278 --> 00:34:15.449
eye opening. Yes,
00:34:15.510 --> 00:35:16.440
