Hey sister, welcome back to Power On Plant Society and, of course, brothers, you're welcome here too.
00:00:08.054 --> 00:00:17.310
We love having you join us and we spend a lot of time on this podcast, in case you haven't noticed, answering the questions that you ask us most.
00:00:17.310 --> 00:00:21.170
Today we're talking about how do you boost your immunity.
00:00:21.170 --> 00:00:27.013
This question just came up to us again this week because we're in the throes of cold and flu season.
00:00:27.013 --> 00:00:30.170
Of course, you always want to know how to have a strong immune system.
00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:33.850
It just makes sense because that helps you fight off diseases.
00:00:33.850 --> 00:00:44.168
So you want to look at ways you can do that all throughout the year, but this time of the year cold and flu season you definitely want to know what's going to pack an extra punch, and that's what we're sharing with you today.
00:00:44.168 --> 00:00:47.929
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.
00:00:47.929 --> 00:00:53.271
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:53.271 --> 00:00:58.682
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:58.682 --> 00:01:04.953
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:01:04.953 --> 00:01:12.609
Hi, we're shared in an eatery cell Christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:01:12.609 --> 00:01:24.849
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.
00:01:24.849 --> 00:01:32.072
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:01:32.072 --> 00:01:35.849
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:35.849 --> 00:01:41.010
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.
00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:49.269
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:01:49.269 --> 00:01:54.531
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:54.531 --> 00:01:57.146
How are things going for you this week?
00:01:57.146 --> 00:01:59.507
Listen, we have been so busy around here.
00:01:59.507 --> 00:02:01.768
We just had the opening of Power on Plant Society.
00:02:01.768 --> 00:02:11.889
You know that's our group coaching program and community where we work with you step by step to get results, but it only opens a couple of times a year and this opening was extremely exciting.
00:02:11.889 --> 00:02:17.512
I am thrilled about all the new members that have joined us and the results they're already getting.
00:02:17.512 --> 00:02:23.532
The big key here is, all of them were already podcast listeners, just like you and you know what they did.
00:02:23.532 --> 00:02:30.503
Before they came into the group coaching program, they had already started implementing what they learned here, taking one step in the next.
00:02:30.503 --> 00:02:36.730
But then they reached a point and they thought you know, you've given us all this information and I want to know what steps to take next.
00:02:36.730 --> 00:02:40.389
And so now we're taking them by the hand and getting them results.
00:02:40.389 --> 00:02:48.028
They're already losing weight, they're already getting decreased inflammation and all these things, but we want you to start that process here.
00:02:48.028 --> 00:02:57.908
That's why we keep showing up for you, week after week, to give you these steps, because you don't need to wait till the door's open, jared, and I want you to start getting life change today.
00:02:57.908 --> 00:03:04.825
And this is how you do it by taking one step at a time, implementing what we teach you here week after week.
00:03:04.825 --> 00:03:12.987
And so today we're talking about how do you boost your immunity so you can fight off colds and flu and other diseases as well.
00:03:12.987 --> 00:03:15.268
You know this just doesn't apply to cold and flu season.
00:03:15.268 --> 00:03:18.548
Maybe you're listening and you're thinking it's not cold and flu season right now.
00:03:18.548 --> 00:03:28.871
Doesn't matter, keep playing, because the things we're sharing today affect your general immunity and will help you to do better, no matter what season of the year it is.
00:03:29.281 --> 00:03:42.650
Well, plus, how many times have you heard I have a summer cold, right, and these things happen anytime of year, but actually the reason why it's so prevalent in the fall I heard a pathologist say that we don't really have a cold and flu season.
00:03:42.650 --> 00:03:45.155
We have a vitamin D deficiency season.
00:03:45.155 --> 00:03:56.670
Isn't that interesting, and so as we go into the shorter days and all that, the cooler months, that we get less sun exposure, and so then our immunity goes down, and so we need to know how to boost it.
00:03:56.670 --> 00:03:57.705
We need to know how to boost it.
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.424
And so now you know I'm going to put Jared on the spot, if you've been around here any length of time at all.
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:06.789
And this was totally in the show notes that she was going to do this.
00:04:07.633 --> 00:04:18.512
No, no, it's not in the notes at all, but I just was sitting here thinking I just want to pick his brain for a minute, because you'll know, we get those gold nuggets when we start picking Jared's brain.
00:04:18.512 --> 00:04:21.459
Mining for nuggets, mining for the nuggets, all right.
00:04:21.459 --> 00:04:26.913
So, jared, what would you say is the number one key?
00:04:26.913 --> 00:04:33.345
He doesn't know what I've written down in my outline notes today, but what would you say is that's how I keep him on his toes.
00:04:33.345 --> 00:04:40.906
So what would you say is the number one key for keeping your immunity strong throughout the entire year?
00:04:42.091 --> 00:04:47.343
It just has to straight up be eating a whole food plant-based diet day in and day out.
00:04:47.343 --> 00:04:55.196
Could not have said it better, myself Eating a great variety of food, eating from the five power food groups and then just doing it day after day.
00:04:55.196 --> 00:04:58.629
That will give you the best immunity possible.
00:04:59.293 --> 00:05:00.416
Absolutely 100%.
00:05:00.416 --> 00:05:04.240
That is the first key on my list of steps we're going to give you today.
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.115
It's eat a whole food, plant-based diet.
00:05:06.115 --> 00:05:16.021
I didn't talk to Jared about that, but we just know from the nutritional research we dug into how we got results and how we keep getting others results too, those same results.
00:05:16.021 --> 00:05:34.278
We could say, hey, we're the weight loss people, or the blood pressure people, or the cholesterol people or the autoimmune people and all those would apply, all those would be true, but instead we say we're the people who show you how to make plant-based eating sustainable so that you can finally feel better.
00:05:34.278 --> 00:05:35.574
Why do we say that?
00:05:35.574 --> 00:05:44.016
Is it true that these food that God has put on this planet for you to live optimally See Genesis 1.29 for proof.
00:05:44.016 --> 00:05:49.822
These are the things you were wired by your creator to eat and thrive on.
00:05:49.822 --> 00:05:52.197
The closer we can get back to the garden, the better.
00:05:52.197 --> 00:05:58.300
We talked about this before in other episodes, but y'all know, stop and think about that as a believer in your life.
00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:12.029
Think about when you've gotten back to how he said to do things and you can get back to the garden, walking and talking with him daily throughout the day, spending time at his feet, working hard, like what are all those things?
00:06:12.029 --> 00:06:12.310
You know?
00:06:12.310 --> 00:06:13.976
Some people don't think there was work in the garden.
00:06:13.976 --> 00:06:15.714
We were created to work.
00:06:15.714 --> 00:06:18.153
You have a purpose, you have a plan in this world.
00:06:18.153 --> 00:06:21.237
How can you fulfill it if your body isn't fueled?
00:06:21.237 --> 00:06:26.081
Well, why did God include instructions on how our bodies were to eat?
00:06:26.081 --> 00:06:27.531
He made it very simple.
00:06:27.531 --> 00:06:29.798
It's one sentence, it's one verse.
00:06:29.798 --> 00:06:30.699
It's right there.
00:06:30.699 --> 00:06:34.678
It is so clear, it's so easy, but we make it complicated.
00:06:34.678 --> 00:06:43.521
And then what further complicates it is all these hijacking things that have been put into our society, into your life, intentionally by your enemy.
00:06:43.521 --> 00:06:44.692
You know you have an enemy.
00:06:44.692 --> 00:06:45.795
He's out there.
00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:50.696
He does not want you to thrive, he does not want you to reach your purpose, he does not want you to feel good.
00:06:50.696 --> 00:07:08.456
Well, when you're not getting the things you were created to eat and those things have been replaced by the things that sabotage your health, artificial things, even quote cleaner foods that have the things hiding in them that we teach you how to discover on the ingredients label, all those things are not set up for your success.
00:07:08.456 --> 00:07:16.050
But when you can get back to the garden and, like Jared said, you start eating the whole plant foods, these are the things that cause you to thrive.
00:07:16.050 --> 00:07:16.610
Do you know?
00:07:16.610 --> 00:07:25.341
We've heard time and again from multiple sources there are tens of thousands of things found in plants that they haven't even named yet.
00:07:25.341 --> 00:07:28.298
These are just the things they've identified that don't have a name.
00:07:28.298 --> 00:07:33.613
And we're walking around worrying about where do you get your protein when all plant foods have protein in them?
00:07:33.613 --> 00:07:38.589
You know all these things that we've been taught to fear and worry about and it's a high jacked our health.
00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:42.579
I mean, I always go back to where does your protein get its protein?
00:07:42.579 --> 00:07:45.478
Because eventually the source is going to be plants.
00:07:45.478 --> 00:07:48.619
Cows don't eat other animals, they eat plants.
00:07:48.619 --> 00:07:57.160
You know, fish may eat other fish, but eventually fish are going to eat the little fish that are going to get back to the algae and the kelp and the other sea plants.
00:07:57.160 --> 00:07:59.317
So it all originates back to plants.
00:07:59.589 --> 00:08:12.377
So what we find is when you get back to that original source, the one that we were created to thrive on, that is when our bodies do well, and that's why Jared and I are both saying standing on the mountaintop shouting is one of our members recently said.
00:08:12.377 --> 00:08:17.959
She said I just wish I could stand on the mountaintop and shout to all my family members eat this way, live this way.
00:08:17.959 --> 00:08:21.458
It's enjoyable, it's delicious, but it makes me feel amazing.
00:08:21.709 --> 00:08:23.016
Well, that's why we do this podcast.
00:08:23.016 --> 00:08:26.119
This podcast is our megaphone on the top of the mountain.
00:08:26.119 --> 00:08:31.641
We just need you to share it with more people, so more people hear what we're saying, right?
00:08:32.309 --> 00:08:35.292
You're part of this huge ripple effect and it's like another part of the movement.
00:08:35.292 --> 00:08:38.075
Yeah, and one of our members said recently.
00:08:38.075 --> 00:08:50.767
She said you know what I keep telling my husband don't talk about it, don't tell other people they need to eat plant-based, just live it out in front of them, be the living example, and that's in any area of our life.
00:08:50.767 --> 00:08:53.067
But with health you can do this.
00:08:53.067 --> 00:08:56.446
Disease can be reversed, disease can be prevented.
00:08:56.446 --> 00:09:02.927
It is not natural to develop high blood pressure and high cholesterol and all these things that are happening as we age over time.
00:09:02.927 --> 00:09:05.447
That is not normal.
00:09:05.447 --> 00:09:10.464
But we're taught it's normal and we're taught we just need to take this medicine and that one and this one and that one to manage the symptoms.
00:09:10.464 --> 00:09:24.207
What we wanna show you how to do is get the things into your life on a regular basis that are gonna decrease the inflammation, decrease your risk of infection and boost your immunity, and that is whole plant foods.
00:09:24.539 --> 00:09:34.525
I'm over here smiling because I just had a thought yeah, back in the garden originally with Adam, there was big farming, not big pharma, that's all I know, no.
00:09:34.525 --> 00:09:38.509
We don't have sickness because we have a medicine deficiency.
00:09:38.929 --> 00:09:40.703
Right, right Now again.
00:09:40.783 --> 00:09:42.765
We always say this we're not against medications.
00:09:42.765 --> 00:09:46.767
There is absolutely a time and a place for it, but we feel like there's so many times.
00:09:46.767 --> 00:09:52.427
If we just do the right things, they won't be necessary, or we can at least minimize the amount that we need.
00:09:52.820 --> 00:09:54.206
Agreed 100%.
00:09:54.206 --> 00:10:02.201
So now we've gotten the big key Just eat more whole plant foods all the time, anita.
00:10:02.201 --> 00:10:03.186
I don't know how to do that.
00:10:03.186 --> 00:10:07.326
All I can consider as a side salad or depriving myself in one way.
00:10:07.326 --> 00:10:18.307
Sister, we have an episode coming up for you because we're gonna talk about three simple ways to make getting healthy uncomplicated and un-overwhelming, so that you can actually do it, so you can enjoy it.
00:10:18.307 --> 00:10:23.070
So look for that that's coming up and, honestly, go back and play any podcast episode.
00:10:23.070 --> 00:10:29.404
This whole podcast is about making this lifestyle enjoyable, so it's sustainable for you.
00:10:29.404 --> 00:10:34.945
If you don't enjoy it, if it doesn't work with your busy schedule, girl, you're not gonna do it.
00:10:34.945 --> 00:10:40.066
I mean, you know, it's true, you're not gonna do it and we're gonna talk about that more, at least not for the long term.
00:10:40.259 --> 00:10:44.865
You may do it for a little while, get results, but then what got you there you hate and it won't keep you going.
00:10:45.039 --> 00:10:49.885
It won't keep you there absolutely not, and so we're going to be talking about that because that is super important.
00:10:49.885 --> 00:11:04.447
But if you're fighting a cold, fighting an infection or just wanna keep yourself, well, the absolute best number one thing that you can do for yourself is learn how to eat more whole plant foods in the way that's quick and easy for you and taste absolutely amazing.
00:11:04.447 --> 00:11:07.849
Tip number two now we're getting into some specifics.
00:11:07.849 --> 00:11:10.528
Okay, but what are some specific things?
00:11:10.528 --> 00:11:15.563
Some specific key ingredients I can get into my life on a regular basis.
00:11:15.563 --> 00:11:18.825
That will be easy for me, and I always think about this.
00:11:18.825 --> 00:11:21.087
That'll bump up the flavors in your food.
00:11:21.087 --> 00:11:30.947
So don't think, oh, I've gotta start eating this, I have to start eating this, Start asking how can I get more of this thing in the way that I enjoy?
00:11:30.947 --> 00:11:32.780
So the first thing is ginger.
00:11:32.780 --> 00:11:33.982
You gotta have ginger.
00:11:33.982 --> 00:11:35.683
Why is ginger important, Jared?
00:11:36.225 --> 00:11:42.567
I'm pulling out the prescription pad right now and I'm writing ginger on it and then handing it to you, my listener.
00:11:42.567 --> 00:11:45.833
That's your prescription, my favorite kind of gift.
00:11:45.833 --> 00:11:53.436
Ginger is important with sickness because it has multiple things that it does to make you feel much better.
00:11:53.436 --> 00:12:08.793
First thing, if you have a respiratory cold that could include sinuses, nasal cavity, it has been researched and shown that it helps open the airway in a way that is very similar, akin to albuterol, like for when people have asthma and they have the inhaler.
00:12:08.793 --> 00:12:09.655
It opens the airway.
00:12:09.655 --> 00:12:12.466
This has that same mechanism of action.
00:12:12.886 --> 00:12:14.811
So it helps open Naturally.
00:12:14.811 --> 00:12:16.816
Naturally helps you breathe better.
00:12:16.816 --> 00:12:17.778
No bad side effects.
00:12:17.965 --> 00:12:18.866
No bad side effects.
00:12:18.866 --> 00:12:21.653
It also helps to suppress cough.
00:12:21.653 --> 00:12:26.475
Independent of what I just told you, it is known to help to decrease cough.
00:12:26.475 --> 00:12:32.215
So if you've got a lower respiratory infection, bronchitis, whatever, it will help ease that for you.
00:12:32.215 --> 00:12:40.203
Now we love to have ginger as a tea, and if you add a little honey to that to flavor it, honey also has been shown to help with cough.
00:12:40.203 --> 00:12:47.746
So a little one-two punch right there, but going on, ginger helps to fight bacterial infections and viral infections.
00:12:48.129 --> 00:12:48.509
Wow.
00:12:48.730 --> 00:12:50.437
When you have a cold, what are you fighting?
00:12:50.597 --> 00:12:55.832
You're fighting most likely a viral infection, right, and so what happens with antibiotics?
00:12:55.832 --> 00:12:57.537
Do antibiotics fight viruses?
00:12:58.225 --> 00:13:04.238
Antibiotics do not as a whole, unless there's just some kind of weird interaction there.
00:13:04.238 --> 00:13:06.794
They generally do not fight viral infections.
00:13:06.794 --> 00:13:19.216
So when you go into a provider's office and you have a common cold and you are given a prescription for an antibiotic, it's likely not going to do anything unless for some reason maybe there's a secondary infection with a bacteria.
00:13:19.216 --> 00:13:24.740
That's possible, but for just your general viral cold it's just going to run its course.
00:13:25.142 --> 00:13:31.226
And the thing is though is that you're saying that if you take the antibiotic, it's probably not going to help with the virus.
00:13:31.226 --> 00:13:33.460
That's what you're saying it's not going to help with the viral infection.
00:13:33.982 --> 00:13:35.288
It's just going to run its course.
00:13:35.288 --> 00:13:38.279
Now, many times, though people they wait a few days.
00:13:38.279 --> 00:13:40.748
They go see a provider, they get an antibiotic.
00:13:40.748 --> 00:13:49.116
A few days later they get better and they attribute that to the antibiotic, but in actuality, it was just that that was the natural course of your body fighting it off.
00:13:49.525 --> 00:14:00.238
And since we're talking about immunity and your immune system here, I want to talk about one of your biggest defenses and that is your gut bacteria to helping you fight off infection.
00:14:00.238 --> 00:14:15.230
Many times, like a long time ago in our past and maybe this for you now or maybe you already know, but I've got to share it just in case you don't it's almost like we're kind of trained in our society with all the pharmaceutical ads and just like when you get a cold, you're just going to go and ask for an antibiotic.
00:14:15.230 --> 00:14:22.255
Now, I know a lot of you don't do that, but maybe you're kind of still there and you think I'm sick, it's not going away, I think I need to go grab an antibiotic.
00:14:22.255 --> 00:14:36.130
But what you've got to understand is antibiotics aren't discriminant about what they kill, and so they also destroy your gut flora, your healthy gut bacteria, and it can take quite a while to build that back.
00:14:36.291 --> 00:14:40.365
And it's not just your gut bacteria, I mean any women, any sisters out there.
00:14:40.365 --> 00:14:47.634
If you've had an antibiotic and then you get a yeast infection, right, it's disrupting the flora, the normal flora, throughout the entire body.
00:14:47.634 --> 00:14:49.220
Now all hope is not lost.
00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:54.754
You can restore it, but it may still not go back to the exact same way that it was previously.
00:14:54.754 --> 00:14:57.167
So, again, use it if needed.
00:14:57.167 --> 00:15:00.760
Don't avoid it if it's something that's life-threatening.
00:15:00.760 --> 00:15:03.673
Obviously, by all means if you've got pneumonia or something like that.
00:15:03.673 --> 00:15:06.926
But we want to encourage you to try to use it as sparingly.
00:15:06.926 --> 00:15:10.052
But we've got a great tool here ginger.
00:15:10.052 --> 00:15:20.408
If you hit that ginger quickly likely what you have when it's a cold is viral it will help you start feeling better very quickly, avoiding a need for an antibiotic.
00:15:20.649 --> 00:15:22.674
And you hit the nail on the head right there.
00:15:22.674 --> 00:15:25.008
You pulled out a big key quickly.
00:15:25.008 --> 00:15:43.976
When you first start feeling symptoms or I'll back it up and even say do this when you have been around someone that you know is sick or they were coughing a little bit, when you're around him and you just think you know I don't want to start feeling symptoms Great time to start adding these specifics that we're giving you in, the first one being ginger.
00:15:44.265 --> 00:15:45.490
And there's no downside to it.
00:15:45.490 --> 00:15:47.538
No, no, there's no downside.
00:15:47.940 --> 00:15:48.743
It makes you feel great.
00:15:48.743 --> 00:15:51.857
It actually will give you energy too, which is amazing.
00:15:51.857 --> 00:15:57.677
I mean, there was a time when we used to do ginger shots, so we'd be juicing ginger and lemon.
00:15:57.999 --> 00:15:58.419
Turmeric.
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:01.327
Turmeric, and I mean that's the next thing we're going to talk about.
00:16:01.327 --> 00:16:01.729
Turmeric.
00:16:01.729 --> 00:16:06.568
Ginger and turmeric are two things that you can get in root form fresh.
00:16:06.568 --> 00:16:08.394
Many stores carry it.
00:16:08.394 --> 00:16:09.918
Our public usually has it.
00:16:09.918 --> 00:16:12.085
Now Whole foods carries it.
00:16:12.085 --> 00:16:13.808
There's a lot of different places you can get it.
00:16:13.808 --> 00:16:16.275
I think you can probably even order the root online.
00:16:16.275 --> 00:16:21.139
So try to buy it fresh because it is unbelievable the punch that it packs.
00:16:21.139 --> 00:16:22.302
So go with fresh.
00:16:22.302 --> 00:16:38.313
So we've got ginger root, fresh turmeric root, and with turmeric you want to put in black pepper fresh black pepper because that helps your body absorb it a lot more readily 2000% increase in the level of the actual curcumin levels in your body.
00:16:38.674 --> 00:16:44.182
Right, and so it doesn't take much, just a little grind Mm hmm, it's amazing, although you don't even have to taste it.
00:16:44.241 --> 00:16:46.192
I mean, seriously, I've been known to put it in my smoothie.
00:16:46.192 --> 00:16:50.855
I don't even know it's there, but I know it works to help the turmeric get into my body, and so I do it.
00:16:50.855 --> 00:16:52.903
Next we have oregano.
00:16:52.903 --> 00:17:03.313
Okay, this is kind of the herbs and spice category, but oregano is a monster anti-viral, antibacterial fighter on your side.
00:17:03.313 --> 00:17:08.056
This is the soldier you want, next to you, boosting your immune system and fighting your battles.
00:17:08.545 --> 00:17:11.355
Since you're using that analogy, this is really more like special forces.
00:17:11.576 --> 00:17:12.380
It is special forces.
00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:13.324
These are the special forces.
00:17:13.324 --> 00:17:13.724
Absolutely Like the.
00:17:13.746 --> 00:17:16.413
Marines it goes in first and just wipes it out.
00:17:17.165 --> 00:17:23.212
Well, yeah, but you've got that first line of defense of you're always going to be eating more whole plant foods, more and more whole plant foods.
00:17:23.212 --> 00:17:32.005
And then you've got the special forces that go in and just drop these gigantor bombs that wipe out the bad stuff that's there, but at the same time they are selective.
00:17:32.005 --> 00:17:38.153
Isn't it interesting that the things that God's made that are naturally good for our bodies are naturally selective.
00:17:38.153 --> 00:17:41.233
They kill the harmful things, but guess what they don't do?
00:17:41.233 --> 00:17:43.692
They don't kill the beneficial things.
00:17:43.825 --> 00:17:44.950
They don't wreck your system.
00:17:45.305 --> 00:17:47.585
And can boost them, can boost the beneficial.
00:17:47.885 --> 00:17:58.952
And, really honestly, these are things that have benefits beyond just the antibiral, antibacterial properties anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, so these are things that we should be eating on a regular basis.
00:17:58.952 --> 00:18:02.325
Right, Exactly Oregano ginger, the turmeric, getting them regularly.
00:18:02.325 --> 00:18:06.635
It doesn't have to be with every meal but you know, throughout the weeks day to day.
00:18:07.285 --> 00:18:09.972
And if you could add one more thing in there, what would it be?
00:18:10.945 --> 00:18:11.247
Ooh.
00:18:11.247 --> 00:18:16.492
One more thing beyond that, Because those are some of the powerhouses that we do.
00:18:16.653 --> 00:18:17.516
I've got one written down.
00:18:17.516 --> 00:18:19.362
I'm just testing to see if we're on the same level.
00:18:20.125 --> 00:18:30.152
Well, I've heard of some other and we've used these other spices If oregano wasn't available, maybe, like thyme, rosemary also supposed to be good, okay, just giving you extra stuff.
00:18:30.152 --> 00:18:35.175
I was moving on from the herbs and spices you got bonuses, bonuses.
00:18:35.517 --> 00:18:38.211
Think it grows underground.
00:18:38.211 --> 00:18:42.365
It can make you stinky, but it doesn't matter because it tastes really good.
00:18:42.365 --> 00:18:43.990
Oh yeah, that's how to not think of this.
00:18:45.487 --> 00:18:48.539
Yeah, potatoes are amazing, but I don't think that they fight colds.
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:49.704
Maybe not a super immunity.
00:18:49.704 --> 00:18:51.633
They may have stuff in there, you don't know.
00:18:51.724 --> 00:18:59.516
Well, they probably do, but as far as like go-tos when I'm feeling bad garlic, that should have been the first thing in my mind.
00:18:59.576 --> 00:19:00.161
Yeah, bar none.
00:19:00.161 --> 00:19:03.332
Shame on me, Shame on you.
00:19:03.332 --> 00:19:11.232
It fights viruses and bacteria and it makes things taste amazing, sister, get it into your foods.
00:19:11.232 --> 00:19:24.778
Now that we've shared this list, I want to let you in on how my mind works as a busy woman, because now I'm thinking how can I get multiple of these at one time into my life?
00:19:24.778 --> 00:19:27.471
How is this going to work for me in real life?
00:19:27.471 --> 00:19:32.115
What is the simplest way that I can actually consistently do that?
00:19:32.115 --> 00:19:42.071
And that's the same question I want you to be asking yourself Jot it down on a piece of paper and then, after today's episode, what you're going to do is you're going to brainstorm.
00:19:42.071 --> 00:19:55.790
Now, maybe you're not a pen to paper kind of girl, maybe you love notes, maybe you love keeping stuff in organized in word Wherever you're going to see it on a sticky note that you can put next to you so you remember to get these things into your life.
00:19:55.790 --> 00:19:59.335
And I want you to brainstorm how you can best do it.
00:19:59.335 --> 00:20:03.915
For me, it's getting multiple things into one item I'm going to eat.
00:20:03.915 --> 00:20:05.910
I mean that's just a no-brainer.
00:20:05.910 --> 00:20:14.377
So how can I get ginger, turmeric, pepper, oregano all those things into my life in one fell swoop?
00:20:14.377 --> 00:20:17.950
I'm gonna make a smoothie, absolutely 100%.
