And this episode is with considered one of my expensive private associates and it’s all about back-to-school well being routines and stress administration for the entire household. And I’m right here with Tina Anderson, who you might need heard from earlier than. I’ll hyperlink to her earlier episodes within the present notes, however she is, like I mentioned, an expensive private pal and somebody whose work I respect deeply.
Her journey into the well being world was fairly distinctive. She really started her profession as a trial lawyer who specialised in settling circumstances by bringing each side collectively, which is a private ardour of hers. However as soon as she had children, she realized that was actually excessive stress for her household. And so she was ready to make use of her authorized expertise to level her profession in a path because the in-house counsel for a household firm in prescribed drugs. However what she noticed there made her change path once more, as a result of she was annoyed by most of the abuses she noticed within the pharmaceutical business. And he or she turned towards the sector of pure well being and located her life’s work and function.
And he or she started to analysis all she might about illness prevention and good well being upkeep and acquired deeply into intestine well being and the way related the intestine is for total well being. And so to share all of this info with the world, she and her husband created a complement firm largely based mostly round probiotics. They usually now have an entire line of actually impactful dietary supplements that my household takes.
However on this episode, we go deep on the subject of preparing for again to high school. We speak about parenting, mindset, together with a improbable technique that her dad used that helped form her optimistic mindset. We speak about her life mantra that I realized from her. After which we go deep on key elements for good intestine well being, the largest myths about probiotics, what to know when in search of a probiotic, how 90% of serotonin is produced within the intestine, what psychobiotics are, and a lot extra. It’s all the time a pleasure to speak to Tina. So let’s be part of her now. Tina, welcome again.
Tina: Thanks, Katie. I’m so excited to be right here with you.
Katie: It’s all the time a pleasure to speak to you. We’re very a lot actual life associates and I additionally take into account you want one of many folks I’m going to for recommendation. You’ve acquired children who at the moment are grown and who you might have superior relationships with. And I really like having you as a sounding board and a pal. And I’m glad that right now I get to ask you a few of those self same questions and we get to document it and let others share the dialog as effectively. So I’m very grateful that you simply’re right here.
And for this episode, we needed to give attention to the theme of again to high school. I do know I’m gearing up for that with my children proper now. A variety of different households in all probability are as effectively. And you’ve got at the very least greater than 18 years of expertise of this along with your children and their varied totally different ages. So I really feel like it is a matter that may very well be an entire sequence of episodes each on the bodily well being facet, the psychological well being facet, the stress aid facet, the group, the getting again in a routine. There’s so many issues we might cowl. However to begin broad, I might love to listen to for those who guys had any kind of traditions, routines or something in your loved ones across the again to high school time.
Tina: Yeah, you recognize, I believe what I simply have such fond reminiscences of is simply the entire going again to high school procuring. You understand, they beloved getting their faculty provides after they had been little and, you recognize, we’d all the time exit for ice cream afterwards and simply form of make it form of enjoyable, just a little custom. And so, after which we might do, you recognize, the opposite enjoyable half was like discovering on the market’s a trainer, you recognize, after they return to high school they usually discover out their trainer and it could, it could, we’d all go collectively and it could be this unveiling. And it was simply, it was enjoyable. There was stress concerned in it as a result of we’re like, oh, what in the event that they don’t get a pal that they need of their class and all that. But it surely was, it was all the time, we all the time tried to make it actually enjoyable.
Katie: I really like that. I believe my expertise is just a little totally different with homeschooling, though we do nonetheless the varsity procuring half. However for us, it’s like gearing up for the sports activities they usually nonetheless have very energetic social lives, however often by their actions versus by faculty. However one factor I do know that may be a concern for lots of households is, and particularly with youthful children, that again to high school part and reintroducing with an even bigger group of individuals tends to even be generally just a little little bit of an immune system problem. Plus we’ve got all through, as we undergo the autumn, the climate cools down, we’re getting much less vibrant mild and daylight, extra indoors, extra all this stuff that may kind of construct as much as form of take successful on our immune system.
And so one factor I take into consideration lots this time of 12 months is we’re shifting into that’s what are a few of the issues we will proactively do to maintain our our bodies, our immune programs and our bodily well being optimum, even whereas we’re placing much more inputs into it? So do you might have any methods for that, for retaining our immune system sturdy, for retaining from getting sick as a lot as doable as we return into the varsity, the varsity form of routine?
Tina: Nicely, I believe you hit the nail on the pinnacle with not being outdoors as a lot and never seeing the brightness and the sunshine. I believe we’ve got to be extra prescriptive about being outdoors within the solar and getting an honest quantity of sunshine through the day, even within the winter months and the autumn months, such as you talked about. I believe we’re, and these children are simply sitting down all day. In the summertime, they’re working round, taking part in, shifting their our bodies far more than they’re through the faculty 12 months. And I believe simply making an attempt to get them to be shifting extra. And I believe as mother and father, we simply, I imply, the errors I made, I believe was with my oldest, particularly, I might be like, oh, we acquired to get good grades and we have to give attention to this.
And, you recognize, now, my God, now I see a lot extra clearly and understand that there have been so many, there have been so many different necessary issues to be specializing in, like getting the daylight and getting, and never being so confused, placing a lot strain on our children with grades and, and the way you, you recognize, what you probably did on this report and simply focusing extra on well being and wellness. And I believe I did that extra with my youngest. I used to be way more in step with making an attempt to get him outdoors extra and being out in nature. So I believe that may be one space to begin along with your immune system, simply making an attempt to get some extra outdoors sunshine and be extra energetic as a result of we simply change into so sedentary after we had been again to high school.
Katie: That’s so true. And also you’re undoubtedly considered one of my inspirations on this as a result of I’ve gotten to journey with you just a few occasions and seen your routine. And also you’re so good about getting morning daylight, which I do know I’ve talked about on right here so many occasions and the way necessary that’s for our circadian well being. And likewise you might be like such an inspiration in going for walks outdoors. I do know we’ve had conversations the place we went for a stroll, even in some form of fascinating areas like downtown New Orleans at totally different occasions.
However I really feel like that is possibly considered one of many causes that you’re such a ball of power is that you simply make time, intentional time for motion and time outdoors, which it’s humorous that we’d like science to remind us of this, however the research simply hold form of displaying up about why these issues are so necessary. And I really feel such as you’re such an excellent instance of that.
Tina: Yeah, effectively, thanks. I beloved it. And I might stroll my children to high school. I used to be in a neighborhood that allowed us to do this. And I believe that for those who can stroll your children to high school and you’ve got the flexibleness to do it, I used to be lucky. I labored from residence. I used to be in a position to stroll them to high school, however simply getting them began out, strolling is so necessary. I believe, after which simply, after which, you recognize, even in highschool, you recognize, a whole lot of children are driving going again to highschool and it’s, and I simply assume making an attempt to get them to simply be energetic and transfer extra and simply empowering them with that. I believe that’s the opposite factor as mother and father.
I’ve realized is you can’t simply inform them one thing, you recognize, you might want to present them the analysis and you must present, like have them watch a documentary a couple of matter that you simply wish to educate them about simply because that’s how they actually begin to empower themselves and actually then they’re going to make the adjustments. They’re not going to make the change. They could make the adjustments quickly while you inform them, however when, you recognize, they’re empowered by the data and understanding of what’s happening within the analysis, they’re going to begin making higher adjustments.
Katie: I agree. And that’s a recurring theme, I believe, when anytime we speak about parenting on this Podcast can be, to your level, the significance of modeling. And I believe it’s so true that that saying that mentioned in many various methods to many various folks, the concept what we are saying is necessary they usually’ll generally pay attention, however they’re going to pay much more consideration to what we do, even when they faux they’re not or if they fight to not, that’s what’s going to stay within the long-term.
And so I believe as mothers, particularly, such as you mentioned, that is what helps us to maintain that focus of us modeling the factor is definitely the factor that’s going to learn them probably the most. That is in all probability why we see that statistic {that a} mother’s train and health degree really has a dramatic affect on her children. It’s as a result of I consider that modeling and them seeing it, which by us doing it, it really offers them permission to prioritize it as effectively. And so I really feel like that is considered one of my core kind of parenting ideas is possibly communicate much less and mannequin extra.
Tina: Sure, yeah, I really like that. I completely agree with you.
Katie: What about any ideas for, so my oldest are simply now within the teenage years, any ideas for retaining good strains of communication and good relationship along with your children as they undergo the teenage years and into maturity? As a result of I do know from interacting with your loved ones, you might have an superior relationship with your entire children and a really shut, each quick and prolonged household. And I believe that’s so stunning. So any ideas for nurturing that?
Tina: Yeah, thanks. I imply, it’s what I’m most pleased with in my life is my household that we constructed and the connection that I’ve with my children. And you recognize, it’s so humorous, so many individuals have requested me this. And I believe one of many issues I keep in mind when my children had been in highschool and you recognize, possibly they weren’t partaking within the actions that different folks had been so far as, you recognize, possibly the behaviors they weren’t alleged to be doing. My children had been like, oh, I don’t wish to try this.
And, and other people would say like, how did you might have your children not try this at that age? And I’m like, I don’t, I don’t actually know aside from I simply made residence a really protected place. Not, not simply protected. All of us wish to make our residence protected, however extra like comfy that it’s okay that it’s Friday night time and also you’re a sophomore in highschool and also you don’t have plans. Like that’s okay. Simply hang around with us and be at residence with us.
And I by no means, like I might by no means be like, oh, what are your folks doing? You understand, why aren’t you going out? And effectively, can’t you discover any plans? Or I might all the time simply make it like, oh, what do you, what are we going to do Friday night time? What would you like for dinner with, you recognize, dad and I? And so I might, it was extra about, you recognize, making it regular that they had been residence with us and never like you must be comply with the social norms of like doing issues.
They did loads of social actions in highschool, however you recognize, all of them undergo levels the place associates possibly begin to change and teams begin to change. And I simply assume it’s necessary that we make it regular that hang around with us. And for us, I imply, that’s simply the best way we love hanging out with one another. And I believe that was actually necessary. And never being so strict. I believe the much less strict we’re, and I imply, children want boundaries. I’m an enormous proponent of that. I believe children, particularly in youngsters, undoubtedly want boundaries, however simply, you recognize, not being so judgmental about possibly they made a mistake they usually made a selection that they shouldn’t have made, however not judging them on a regular basis and making them really feel dangerous about issues. I believe that has actually helped us be very open about issues.
Katie: That’s such an excellent level, particularly in these cases the place they make a mistake as a result of they’re in all probability going to be taught sufficient from that lesson from having made the error and doubtless be harder on themselves than we may very well be. And so I really feel like if we will allow them to hold the possession of that, not take it away from them by judging them externally and never having to have them justify it and defend, which I believe then places extra power into the motion itself. I really like that method.
And I believe additionally you touched on one thing invaluable, which is it doesn’t matter what age they’re, we will’t, I neglect who mentioned this, however we will’t make them and we will’t repair them. Like all these issues have to come back from inside them. And so if we will view it as how can we assist them in these classes and be the protected place they will be taught these classes with out judgment, I believe that actually helps that relationship. And I additionally love, it looks as if you do that so effectively in your house, of being the place the place not simply your children, however anyone can go and it’s a spot of unconditional love. And that was what I all the time actually needed to goal for. And it appears to be taking part in out with my youngsters is I needed to be the place the place they all the time felt comfy having their associates, the place everyone was all the time welcome. I’ll feed anyone’s child who’s in my home and hopefully they all the time really feel that there’s unconditional love there. I believe that’s like an intangible that we will’t put a value on, however one which like hopefully actually helps that relationship for our entire lives with our children.
Tina: Yeah, and I imply, you’re a full mannequin of that. I imply, I keep in mind being over and having all these children round and simply everybody having a lot enjoyable and being energetic. And it’s actually necessary to have your house be that approach for everybody. I additionally assume like to the touch upon grades, I believe that’s one of many greatest classes as a guardian I realized. I imply, I used to be so totally different parenting my oldest than my youngest. And I believe we’ve got to simply give attention to studying. I’m certain you speak about this on a regular basis, Katie, I do know you do, however it’s like, you recognize, the grade shouldn’t be, I simply really feel prefer it’s virtually irrelevant.
You understand, I imply, what I give attention to, particularly my youngest is in school now, I’m like, simply give attention to studying. I simply need you to be taught. The grade, your GPA means nothing to me. It means it ought to imply nothing to you. It’s like, and you recognize, typically while you’re studying and also you’re actually specializing in studying, no matter it’s, the grades fall into place. However I believe we simply get so caught up, particularly in highschool with, you recognize, finding out for, making an attempt to get into faculties and the entire social patterns that we’re alleged to comply with. I simply would warning everyone to simply have your give attention to studying. Attempt to get your baby to like to study no matter matter it’s and in no matter method it’s. It doesn’t must be within the classroom. It may very well be Ted Talks, it may very well be no matter it’s.
Katie: Completely. That’s a talent that can serve you your entire life and that hopefully all of us as adults are nonetheless doing day-after-day in some kind. However you’re proper. I believe I didn’t be taught that lesson till maturity. I very a lot was so fearful about grades in highschool and I believe I hooked up components of my id to how effectively I did in class. And it was an excellent factor to love un-pattern and like go off later in life. But it surely’s one thing I’ve been conscious of with my children of making an attempt to by no means assist or not like form of facilitate a mindset the place they really feel like their price is hooked up to their efficiency in any space, whether or not it’s sports activities, whether or not it’s faculty, however to give attention to the core ideas of curiosity and studying and connecting the dots and having enjoyable and overcoming challenges as a result of these are the talents which are going to really translate into grownup life and no matter they find yourself selecting, which could not be one thing within the tutorial subject, however these are the extra like comfortable expertise which are going to serve them in any side of life.
And I believe that’s an ideal springboard additionally into the mindset dialog, which is one other space the place you might be undoubtedly a supply of inspiration for me. And I do know folks have heard me say down right here, the road I acquired from you, which is that the whole lot will work out completely for me. And you might be such a supply of positivity and also you carry that power to any group that you’re in. And so I might love to listen to, I do know we’ve talked about this just a little bit in our different podcasts, however what had been a few of your huge kind of sources of inspiration or studying in mindset and in crafting that mindset?
Tina: Yeah, effectively, thanks, Katie. That’s fairly a praise coming from you. So, yeah, mindset is a large a part of my life. My father really used to wake me up within the morning and inform me I’m getting higher and higher day-after-day in each approach. And it was, it was, and I believed, you recognize, God, that’s so bizarre that my dad does this on a regular basis. And little did I do know what it did for me for my, the remainder of my life. And he simply taught me about how I, you recognize, you create your future, you create your life and it’s the phrases that you simply use. You need to be very cautious with the phrases that you simply use.
That, you recognize, I talked to him and I’d say one thing like, oh my God, I’m loopy. I can’t imagine I did that. And he’d say, cancel, cancel. Such as you don’t say that. You understand, don’t ever name your self loopy. Like don’t say that even when it’s simply in a joking approach. Simply taught me the ability of phrases and the power that you simply carry to any state of affairs. He used to again within the day, my God, you recognize, I imply, it was a very long time in the past. He needed to have books on tape earlier than books on tape had been a factor. So he would have me dictate Wayne Dyer’s ebook right into a tape recorder. And I might examine or learn Wayne Dyer. And naturally I used to be not paying consideration as a result of I used to be like, I don’t care about this, however I believe subconsciously that was all ingrained in me.
And so then Wayne Dyer grew to become an enormous trainer to me and is the inspiration of our firm. It’s the inspiration of so many issues in my life and the choices I’ve made in I do really feel that, you recognize, we actually, we have to do our life’s work. We have to, we might create our future by the, the, the best way we stay our life. I believe forgiveness is a large side of it. That’s one of many cool issues that Wayne Dyer talks about lots. And I’ve coached different family and friends members on forgiveness that I believe they’ve had life altering outcomes about. I’m not a coach or something like that. I simply, it’s only a private ardour of mine.
And I really like, yeah, I simply assume our phrases are actually necessary and our power that we carry to any state of affairs is de facto necessary. And, and as you recognize, my well-known mantra that I all the time say is the whole lot works out completely for me. And I believe what’s necessary about that, folks assume that’s such a daring assertion to say, however the whole lot works out completely for me simply signifies that it’s figuring out completely for me on this state of affairs. And it’s not the best way I essentially needed it to work out, however I do know that it’s figuring out completely for me. And I’ve to belief that I’ve to belief that, you recognize, the universe is offering for me or God is offering for me.
Katie: Yeah, I’ve that assertion on my wall really in my bed room now too. And it’s actually really helped me undertake a few of that mindset as effectively. And to your level, it’s not that the whole lot works out how I would like it to work out, however a whole lot of us can in all probability look in hindsight at even issues we thought had been very troublesome throughout no matter level we had been going by them and that we might haven’t essentially chosen. However then years later, see how that actually shifted the course of our life or offered a lesson that was actually essential for one thing afterward and see that it actually did work out completely, simply not how we thought completely was going to look.
And now wanting again, I may even have a look at the toughest moments of my life and have like deep overwhelming gratitude for them. Despite the fact that I wouldn’t have chosen them, I can see now I wouldn’t have gotten to go on a few of these journeys I’ve been on had I not had these experiences. And in order that’s one thing I hold prime of thoughts with my children too, is to hopefully assist them have the body of reference to be current in no matter view it as occurring completely, even when it’s not nice or fulfilling on a regular basis, and to search for the lesson or to search for the sweetness in it, even when it’s one thing that possibly is troublesome or onerous.
I additionally love that you simply introduced up forgiveness. I learn the quote years in the past that forgiveness is setting the prisoner free and realizing that the prisoner was your self. And that’s actually all the time stayed with me as a result of I believe typically we predict, oh, I can forgive them in the event that they do that, or if solely they might apologize, if solely they might make it proper. And I believe these are two separate issues. Forgiveness is an inner course of that we get to have full freedom over after we select. Making amends is an entire separate factor and that does contain the opposite individual. However I believe if we will separate the forgiveness piece and understand that we all the time have the flexibility to forgive, it doesn’t matter what the opposite individual does or doesn’t do, there’s a lot freedom in that. And so it sounds such as you’ve helped folks attain that time lots, which is gorgeous.
Tina: Yeah, it’s superb. What occurs is that it opens up their lives. You understand, I’ve one explicit pal who had a difficulty together with his father and unexpectedly he began forgiving his father and all of those different issues. His profession began taking off. Like his relationships had been even higher than they had been earlier than. So I imply, it’s superb what occurs while you forgive and it’s so onerous. And it’s not like I’m saying, oh, forgive someday, you forgive. It’s a course of. However for those who simply see that it opens up a lot in your individual life and as dangerous as somebody has handled you, as horrible as one thing that somebody has finished to you, for those who might get to some extent of forgiveness, you’ll actually begin seeing nice issues occur in your life.
Katie: Yeah, and other people have in all probability heard me speak about this earlier than as effectively, however for years I used to be doing all of the bodily well being stuff that I knew easy methods to do and dealing with all of the docs and had spreadsheets for the whole lot, making an attempt to repair all my bodily well being issues. And it wasn’t till I additionally addressed that internal emotional facet and adjusted my mindset that every one the bodily stuff began working. And it actually highlighted for me how not solely are the thoughts and physique related and you may’t view both one in isolation, but additionally how highly effective the internal work is for even shifting our bodily well being.
And I believe we possibly can all consider examples of somebody who simply continues to have well being issues possibly, however they’ve a mindset that’s kind of like manifesting of their bodily well being or folks such as you who’ve this the whole lot works out completely for me mindset and who like appear to be thriving and infinite power. And I believe that not all the time is {that a} trigger and impact relationship, actually by any means, however that these are actually invaluable elements to recollect it’s each/and, not both or in the case of this stuff.
Tina: Nicely, completely. And I, you recognize, I’m clearly interviewed on fairly just a few podcasts about intestine well being, and I’m all the time speaking about the truth that we have to meditate, we have to do deep respiration or acupuncture, therapeutic massage, no matter it’s that calms you down. We have to be doing this stuff to be caring for our intestine well being. After which the reverse is true. You understand, you might want to be caring for your intestine well being to ship indicators again to the mind. And, you recognize, it’s like we’ve got to keep in mind that what’s happening mentally is affecting us bodily and vice versa. What’s happening bodily shall be affecting us mentally. However they each precisely, they’re each working collectively.
Katie: And also you additionally talked concerning the phrases that we are saying being so necessary. And I really like this level as effectively. I’ve tried to concentrate to lots, particularly any phrases that come after the phrases I’m, as a result of I really feel like that’s actually highly effective for what we’re telling our brains and our our bodies. However I’ve realized slowly and this was a course of as effectively. However the internal discuss particularly that I had in the direction of myself had a direct affect on my mindset and on my bodily well being as effectively. And also you talked about one saying that your dad would use with you. I’m curious when you have every other ideas for kind of nurturing a optimistic mindset towards oneself, as a result of it looks as if for many individuals that’s really probably the most troublesome to beat. Like we will be variety and the way we communicate to our children and our companions and our associates, however generally studying to talk kindly to ourselves will be the largest impediment.
Tina: Isn’t that the reality? I imply, and I work at this day-after-day and I believe it’s nonetheless onerous for me, you recognize, I believe one of many issues that has helped me is simply doing every day morning affirmations. So I’ve my affirmations and it simply units the day trip to begin out on an excellent observe and saying phrases which are affirming the best way that you simply wish to stay your day and your life.
So I believe optimistic affirmations and the opposite factor is like I’ll discover myself beating myself up as a result of I mentioned one thing like, oh, you recognize, God, these pants are tight on me. After which I’m like, why am I consuming like a pig? Or, you recognize, I say one thing like, I’m like, oh my God, Tina, you recognize higher than to speak like that to your self. And and I’m like, OK, now I can’t beat myself up about it both. So I believe like acknowledge that you simply do. All of us try this. We are saying issues that we shouldn’t be saying. However I and that’s what’s helped me is saying, would I say that to my daughter? You understand, would I say that to my mother? Would I say that to a pal? And no, I imply, if I’m not going to say it to them, like, by how can I say it to myself? And we’ve got to remind ourselves of that.
However I believe saying the morning affirmations is so highly effective to begin your day trip. Simply consider one thing like I’m good well being or I’m I’m wholesome. I really feel good. I look good. No matter it’s that you simply’re engaged on and the way you wish to set your intentions for the day. I’ve a number of. I modify them up. I’ve one which’s like enterprise associated, one which’s private associated, one which’s well being associated. So no matter it’s, I attempt to use these mantras, some that I’ve mentioned for in all probability 10 years. So I believe it’s simply necessary to phrases are highly effective. And I do imagine our unconscious thoughts absorbs these phrases. And so be very prescriptive concerning the phrases that you simply say to your self.
Katie: I really like that recommendation. And I really like that we acquired to get into the mindset facet first, as a result of I actually do imagine, like we’ve talked about, that it is a actually enormous key, even in the case of bodily well being, and that always it’s ignored or typically it feels insurmountable. And I believe any, even small child steps make an enormous distinction in that space. And so I really like that we acquired to the touch on that.
However I do know that you simply even have a ton of experience within the bodily well being facet and particularly in intestine well being. And I believe that is additionally essential at the moment of 12 months particularly, not simply because typically when folks return to high school, their meals can change just a little bit as a result of a whole lot of occasions you’re consuming at college now or packing lunches, but additionally as a result of like we talked about, mild’s altering, your immune system is altering and its inputs at that time, possibly sleep is altering since you’ve acquired children have extra homework they usually’re up later. There’s a lot happening there.
And it looks as if we’ve heard sufficient a lot from all these research about intestine well being being completely linked to all features of well being, that something we will try this helps our intestine well being really has optimistic ripple results into all areas of well being, from sleep to emphasize to after all, digestion to pores and skin and on and on and on. So I do know that this is sort of a life’s work and a ardour for you and that you’ve got put in a whole lot of hours into determining the perfect options for intestine well being.
However I might love so that you can begin broad and stroll us by what are a few of the core ideas of fine intestine well being, whether or not or not it’s issues which are higher to keep away from, issues which are nice to devour, whether or not it’s stress elements, what are the large needle movers in the case of intestine well being?
Tina: Nicely, to begin with, I’m so glad that you simply talked about that the truth that intestine well being has to do with just about each side of our total well being. And naturally, 80% of our immune system is present in our intestine. So we’re making an attempt so onerous to love ramp up our children and ourselves, our immune system as we head into fall and winter. And we’ve got to recollect, we’ve acquired to give attention to our intestine well being as a result of it’s actually dictating each side, just about each side of our total well being and primarily our immune system. So you might be completely proper to say that.
So a few of the issues I believe to keep away from, you recognize, sadly, the world we stay in is so detrimental to our intestine micro organism. You understand, our intestine is comprised of all these helpful microorganisms, primarily micro organism. And we all know that we live on this world that’s so offensive to our intestine well being. So one of many greatest issues is antibiotics. So we all know now to keep away from antibiotics and as a lot as doable, however they’re present in animal merchandise, they’re present in our meals provide. So we’ve got to attempt to be very conscious of the meals that we’re consuming that would not have antibiotics in them.
Additionally with Glyphosate, which is the energetic ingredient in Roundup, and it’s sprayed throughout our produce. And that’s so detrimental to our intestine well being. A variety of family and private care merchandise are very detrimental. A variety of shampoos, toothpaste, which is why I might clearly advocate everyone take, you recognize, use Wellnesse as a result of I imply, to begin with, it’s so good for our hair anyway. I really like the best way it makes my hair really feel. My dad now loves it. It’s so humorous. So I undoubtedly assume we’ve got to be conscious of our private care merchandise, too, as a result of they’re simply loaded with all of those toxins.
So there’s chemical substances and toxins throughout our, you recognize, the world that we’re dwelling in. And so we actually have to be specializing in caring for our intestine well being. Sadly, the soil that we’re consuming off of doesn’t have a whole lot of the microbes that we actually had been used to getting our ancestors used to get. So we, you recognize, it’s good to eat fermented meals. Undoubtedly would advocate fermented meals, simply not as a alternative for a high quality probiotic. That’s the place I believe the large mistake is made, is folks assume fermented meals is a alternative for a probiotic. It has tons of vitamins. It’s very supportive of your intestine well being, however it’s not a alternative for a probiotic. It doesn’t as a result of the large… you recognize, side of probiotics, after all, is survivability. And the spore-based probiotic strains that we work with really, we all know survive and get to the intestines alive.
So I might actually give attention to avoiding, like antibiotics, avoiding Glyphosate, which is the energetic ingredient in Roundup, and give attention to consuming natural meals, actually consuming fermented meals, after which taking a high-quality probiotic could be, you recognize, actually supportive of your intestine well being, and doing issues like meditation, strolling in nature, being outdoors, getting within the daylight. All these issues are actually necessary for our intestine well being.
Katie: And we did an entire episode about this, so I’ll hyperlink to it within the present notes. Folks can go actually deep. But additionally I really feel like there’s a whole lot of myths surrounding probiotics. So I really like that you simply touched on that fermented meals and probiotics, each necessary however separate, they don’t exchange one another. We want the fiber and the enzymes and the whole lot that comes with fermented meals. And likewise there’s issues particular to probiotics that aren’t essentially simply going to be in fermented meals. However I really feel like there’s many extra myths past that. And lots of of them are nonetheless quite common, like issues round refrigerated probiotics or what strains are finest and in the event that they survive within the intestine or not.
And so I might love so that you can break down a few of these myths as effectively and discuss concerning the distinction between spore based mostly probiotics and different probiotics. As a result of this was new info to me once I first met you.
Tina: Yeah, so the largest fantasy is the refrigeration fantasy. You understand, so many, even docs will say, oh, as a way to be an excellent probiotic, it must be refrigerated. And the rationale why they mentioned that was as a result of, you recognize, you want a stay microorganism as a way to even be outlined as a probiotic. So a probiotics definition is a stay microorganism that confers a profit onto the host, which is the physique. So that they’re considering, oh, effectively, as a way to be alive, it must be within the fridge. However when you concentrate on it, if a probiotic pressure must be alive, to, they will’t even face up to the room temperature of the shop shelf. It must be within the fridge to remain alive. What on the planet will occur when it goes into your physique, which is 98.6, a lot hotter than the room temperature of the shop shelf? And the reply is that they’re gonna die.
And let’s say the temperature doesn’t even kill them. By the point they get to the abdomen, which may be very acidic and meant to be the gastric barrier, the vast majority of strains available on the market are simply killed off by that temperature, the physique temperature, in addition to the acid within the abdomen. So this concept of a probiotic needing to be refrigerated as a way to be an excellent probiotic might be one of many greatest myths on the market. And it nonetheless must be debunked. The factor with the strains that we work with, they’re really dormant. They’re not stay, like within the bottle, they’re not alive. They’re really dormant. After which after they get to the intestines, in order that they make that journey out of your throat by the gastric system. And after they get into the intestines, that’s after they take their spore shell off. And that’s after they go into their stay vegetative cell, stay vegetative cell state. And that’s after they begin doing the magic within the microbiome.
So we’ve got to recollect, a probiotic doesn’t have to be alive within the fridge. A probiotic must be alive in your intestines. And that’s one of many greatest myths. So we actually wanna be sure that the probiotic is alive within the intestines.
After which I believe one of many different huge myths out there may be that you simply want a excessive depend, a excessive CFU depend. So CFU is Colony Forming Items. You’ll see that on the entrance of the bottle. It’ll say 50 billion CFUs, 250 billion CFUs. Now you see one thing with 500 billion CFUs. And there may be really no research. There aren’t any research behind displaying extra is healthier. In truth, there may be research displaying now that like generally when you might have a number of totally different strains and many totally different excessive variety of CFU really might trigger some points and we might go into that later.
However the necessary factor to know is of these three billion or nevertheless many billion CFUs you might have at a product, what sort of change are they making within the intestine? And one of many first research we did was one thing referred to as a intestine mannequin research. And we solely have three billion CFUs in our product. And we noticed a 30% favorable shift within the intestine after solely two and a half weeks. And that is profound to see that kind of a change in such a brief period of time with simply three billion CFUs. And so, don’t get caught up within the 50 billion, 500 billion. That’s actually all advertising and marketing. And there’s actually no analysis behind that.
Katie: That’s so good to know. And the factor I beloved about this once I realized that was that it meant that now I might get probiotics to my children way more simply as a result of the refrigerated ones wanted to be taken in these very particular situations and also you needed the children to swallow them and a whole lot of my youthful ones on the time couldn’t swallow tablets.
However once I realized concerning the spore-based ones and the way they might survive by the intestine and survive at warmth, I spotted I might combine these into meals, into smoothies, and it was a lot, a lot simpler to get them for my children than in the event that they needed to swallow a capsule solely. And so I really like that.
And I believe you guys have made this even simpler now as a result of the gummies simply acquired to my home lately and my little ones are virtually addicted to those. However I might guess it’s an analogous idea as a result of they’re steady and may survive all the best way to the small gut. It’s tremendous to chew them. It’s tremendous for them to be in a gummy they usually nonetheless get digested and assimilated the identical approach.
Tina: Yep, precisely. Precisely. It’s actually, that’s what’s so nice about these spores is that they’re so sturdy that we really examined them. You had talked about we might open them and blend them with meals. You possibly can really bake with them. We examined them as much as 455 levels they usually stay utterly steady. So you might bake them and no matter for those who’re making some kind of muffin or brownie or one thing you might do or no matter. As I used to place in my son’s piping sizzling oatmeal. And that’s, it’s actually, good for youths to have the ability to have that choice.
I imply, a whole lot of adults don’t even wish to swallow tablets. After which after all the gummy is simply, oh my God, that’s been actually thrilling as a result of they style so good. I imply, they style actually good. In order that’s been actually necessary. And that’s necessary to us simply to have the compliance so far as folks taking it. And I believe after they style good, folks will take it extra typically. And in order that was extra necessary to us. We waited a protracted, very long time to provide a gummy as a result of we had been like, oh, you recognize, there’s some elements that aren’t as nice as we’d wish to be. We wish to be tremendous, tremendous clear, however we did the least quantity of something and we had been simply in a position to, you recognize, we wish compliance. It’s actually necessary for us to have compliance with taking the product. And that appears to be what the gummy is doing.

Katie: And one other cool factor in the case of intestine well being that truly I believe ties in and circles again to, again to high school as effectively, is that research frequently are displaying that a lot of our neurotransmitters are made in our intestine, really, and the intestine’s known as the second mind, and there’s so many connections there.
And I do know for lots of mothers particularly, it is a time of 12 months the place there’s extra stress, extra overwhelm, actually extra working children round, extra scheduling. And it seems that we will really actually use supporting our intestine to our benefit in the case of stress and psychological well being as effectively. And also you guys have finished some fairly fascinating work round particular strains which are tied in right here. So I might love so that you can clarify that as a result of I’ve been utilizing JustCalm lots currently, and it looks as if it actually does make a noticeable distinction on stress, however I might love so that you can clarify why.
Tina: Yeah, so simply the intestine alone, simply taking the spore-based probiotic alone, our signature product goes to assist with that as a result of we all know 90% of our serotonin is produced in our intestine. Dopamine is produced in our intestine. GABA, which is the calming hormone, is produced in our intestine. So it’s so critically necessary to be specializing in our intestine well being after we’re speaking about psychological well being and our temper. We see this on a regular basis. So many individuals will possibly come to our product as a result of they’ve gasoline or bloating or diarrhea, constipation, no matter it might be, after which they’ll say to us, oh my gosh, you recognize what, like I’m beginning to, like, I’m in a greater temper. I’ve extra power. I imply, would this have something to do with the probiotic? And I’m like, sure. You understand, within the pharmaceutical business, it’s like, Unwanted side effects embody suicidal ideas, loss of life, all these horrible issues. And it’s like right here negative effects embody higher temper, extra power and higher weight administration we’ve even seen.
So we all know that the probiotic alone helps with simply the leakiness of the intestine. You possibly can return, such as you mentioned, to a different episode and we might speak about leaky intestine. And we all know that when you might have a leaky intestine, that’s the irritation will begin going to a lot of your totally different organs, considered one of which is your mind. And that’s a part of what causes the difficulty. However now we’ve been specializing in the analysis that you simply talked about with this pressure referred to as Bifidobacterium Longum 1714. And this pressure is known as a psychobiotic. And a psychobiotic is a probiotic pressure that’s serving to assist that gut-brain entry. So we all know we’ve got this intestine mind entry. It’s the communication superhighway, I wish to name it, as a result of the intestine is sending indicators to the mind and the mind is sending indicators to the intestine. And we’ve identified this for a very long time.
We all know after we’re enthusiastic about one thing, we get butterflies in our abdomen. We all know after we’re nervous, we begin to go to the lavatory. These are all connections, these are all indicators going forwards and backwards from the intestine to the mind, the mind to the intestine.
And so we all know that this Bifidobacterium Longum 1714 Pressure that’s present in our JustCalm product really has been ready, it’s been proven in research to have folks have a greater notion of stress. So simply that potential to deal with stress higher really helps carry us extra into that theta waves like mindset, so we’re extra in that circulation state. We all know that it’s really serving to with cognitive perform and talent to focus higher. So it was some actually compelling research on the 1714 pressure.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And naturally, the opposite element that we all know that’s very well studied right here is again to the immune system element and that when our intestine well being is compromised, our immune well being is by nature compromised as effectively. And it looks as if there’s a really sturdy hyperlink with irritation right here. And it looks as if an increasing number of research simply hold pointing towards the widespread hyperlink between most continual ailments really being rooted in irritation in lots of circumstances. And so anytime we will profit our intestine well being and provides it the chance to scale back irritation within the physique and to course of that extra successfully, it looks as if it is also gonna have a very optimistic affect for the intestine.
However are there any particular methods, particularly as we transfer into form of chilly and flu season that additionally might help assist immune well being particularly from a gut-focused perspective?
Tina: Yeah, so all the traditional issues that I talked about, after which we’ve got a IgG product, which is an immunoglobulin G that has been actually, actually supportive. I imply, it’s actually supportive of the liner of your intestine, actually supportive of your immune system. We all know that IgG is principally an antibody that helps assault the, any viruses, toxins, issues like that, that are available, that our physique naturally makes immunoglobulin G. And we all know that this IgG product that we’ve got really offers us 25% extra of the IgG in our intestine, which is so necessary as a result of 90% of our immune system is present in our intestine. In order that’s one other technique that we like to make use of, particularly, you recognize, as you get into the autumn and winter months. I personally take all of it 12 months lengthy as a result of I believe it’s such a fricking phenomenal product. However I additionally, you recognize, I perceive that possibly folks would possibly wish to simply take it, you recognize, within the fall and winter season, however I might extremely advocate that.
After which simply is from an immune perspective viewpoint is simply what we simply hold speaking about, like calming ourselves down as a result of it actually does make a distinction on how our intestine is functioning. We’ve acquired to calm ourselves down and we live on this world that’s so, so, everybody’s stressed. It’s like virtually like, you recognize, you get an award for being extra stressed and being busier. And I don’t need, we speak about modeling for our children. We are able to’t mannequin that to our children. Now we have acquired to, you recognize, present them that we’ve got a lot success and happiness after we are simply not stressed on a regular basis and we don’t must do the whole lot and be the whole lot to everybody. So, and I do know it’s onerous as a mother and a younger mother. And I simply, I want somebody had instructed me that once I children had been little, simply to, you recognize, lower, give your self grace, go gradual, nothing, the whole lot doesn’t must be good and simply, you recognize, focus in your, your psychological well being too.
Katie: Yeah, completely. That’s so necessary. And that is purely anecdotal, so not medical recommendation. However with considered one of my daughters, I seen that the mix of IgG and the probiotic appears to actually assist. Really, she had some recurring eczema when she was youthful, and that appeared to assist her physique actually clear that. And he or she doesn’t have it in any respect anymore. So I don’t know if there’s something particular to that within the research, however in her case, that gave the impression to be kind of just like the magic factor that helped her eczema for anyone on the market who might need eczema with their children.
Tina: Yeah, effectively, it’s all concerning the leakiness of the intestine. With the probiotic alone, we all know we’ve got a double-blind human scientific trial on leaky intestine that’s been actually supportive of the intestine well being, that we all know that’s supporting the intestine, the barrier and the intestinal barrier. And now we all know that the IgG product is additional assist of that barrier. And simply getting rid, I imply, simply retaining these toxins from seeping into our bloodstream is de facto necessary when persons are coping with autoimmune points, after they’re coping with allergic reactions. We have to seal up that intestinal barrier. I can’t overstate that sufficient. And people two merchandise are simply such, such enormous instruments in your toolbox.
Katie: And I do know as somebody who’s a busy enterprise proprietor and a mother and the whole lot else that you’ve got in your plate, however you managed to remain, like I mentioned, so energetic and in good well being. So on a private degree, I might love any ideas from you which are form of your individual private 80-20, whether or not or not it’s every day habits, every day dietary supplements, something that you simply do as a part of a routine that you simply really feel like contributes to that.
Tina: Yeah, so I get up each morning and I do my affirmations. I meditate after which I’m going for my morning stroll that I really like a lot. Even within the winter, I’m from Chicago and I nonetheless will go within the winter and I’ll, you recognize, stroll and simply get outdoors in nature. And I even love the snow within the winter. So I’m an enormous complement taker. Clearly I take our Simply Thrive Probiotic, our IgG, K2, our Prebiotic. I take all of our merchandise just about as a result of we don’t launch something that I don’t utterly agree with or that’s not researched and based mostly in science. That’s been essential to us.
I additionally take Brocelite, a Cell Chlorophane Complement, and I take Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Fish Oil. What else do I take? I take lots. I’m making an attempt to think about what else I’d, I simply, I take so many, however I’m simply, I’m enormous. I simply imagine that our soil is so depleted. It doesn’t have the vitamins that we wish to be taking.
After which after all I’ve been specializing in intestine well being as a result of the whole lot else that you simply’re making an attempt to soak up goes to be absorbed that a lot better when your intestine is wholesome. And I believe that’s what we’ve got to recollect. Now we have a lot irritation happening in our intestine. And if it’s infected, it’s not absorbing vitamins. So it’s actually necessary that I believe folks begin with their intestine well being after which in any other case all these different dietary supplements and all these different wholesome meals that we’re consuming will not be actually working.
I additionally am an enormous fan of intermittent fasting. I believe that individuals ought to do it in the event that they assume it really works for them. However for me, it really works nice. I did it, I used to be motivated. I do know so many individuals had been motivated by it to drop some pounds. I used to be motivated by it due to the analysis, the way it helped the analysis in intestine well being. It’s very supportive of your intestine well being. We all know that sure micro organism really proliferate in a starved state. So I’ll do intermittent fasting and I often simply do like a 14 to 16 hour quick, however no matter works for you. However we do know that there’s analysis behind that.
Katie: I agree. And I do know it’s gotten, there’s considerably like controversy, particularly round girls and fasting, however I all the time form of put intermittent fasting or time-restricted consuming in a separate class as a result of that is traditionally one thing we’ve all the time finished in some kind and we’re actually not consuming whereas we’re sleeping. So all of us are literally performing some type of intermittent fasting anyway. It’s simply experimenting with the timeline of that. And to your level, I believe it is vitally particular person and it’s all the time price being your individual major healthcare supplier and doing the experimentation to determine what’s going to give you the results you want.
For me, after a whole lot of experimentation, I spotted I really feel nice on a time-restricted schedule, particularly if I shift it earlier within the day. That basically tends to assist with circadian biology. So I attempt to get morning daylight as quickly as doable after waking up. After which I attempt to eat in a extra ahead shifted window within the day. So I’ll eat a very nutrient dense breakfast with protein comparatively quickly after waking up. After which I’ll attempt to cease consuming for certain by sundown, however typically by like 5 PM. And I’ve seen that my sleep improves once I shift that consuming window earlier.
And I solely say that as a result of I believe a whole lot of the preliminary intermittent fasting recommendation was from guys and their biology works just a little totally different. And a whole lot of them would skip breakfast and eat it like one or two within the afternoon after which eat until eight o’clock at night time, which actually works for some folks. However as a lady, I’ve seen for me that earlier window tends to work higher. So if somebody’s experimenting and never seeing good outcomes, that may be one suggestion I might have is shift the window earlier and see if that makes a distinction for you.
Tina: Yeah, I really like that. I don’t do it that approach. So I might need to present {that a} attempt. However I like to really feel, you’re completely proper although concerning the, you recognize, even for those who simply cease consuming earlier and also you go to mattress and then you definately simply, precisely 12 hours shouldn’t be that troublesome to do and also you’re, you recognize, simply begin consuming just a little bit earlier.
Katie: Completely. And that’s like, once more, again to that kind of optimistic suggestions loop of stress and sleep and intestine well being and all of those elements. The nice factor is that if they’re not working for you, they will form of change into a unfavorable suggestions loop. However for those who even make optimistic child steps in any of these, it turns right into a optimistic suggestions loop they usually construct on one another. So then power will get higher. It’s simpler to decide to doing the issues you recognize you wish to do. You can also make these habits extra constant and then you definately proceed to construct that power and that motivation. So I really like that we’ve gotten to cowl so most of the features of that optimistic suggestions loop right now.
And some questions I additionally like to ask towards the top of interviews. I do know I’ve requested you these earlier than, however I’m curious when you have any, whether or not or not it’s new ebook suggestions or current books which have had a optimistic affect on you and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Tina: Yeah, it’s humorous as a result of I all the time return to the 4 Agreements as a result of I do know it’s been used so typically, however I learn it so typically and I simply gave it to a younger household pal who’s a younger man who’s going off to school and he mentioned, Mrs. Anderson, oh my God, I simply learn this ebook and it actually made such a distinction and you recognize, I’m actually having fun with it. And I simply, I’ve to say it once more, as a result of I do assume it’s price rereading if folks haven’t learn it as a result of it actually has made a giant distinction in my life.
And I talked about Wayne Dyer and considered one of his books, he’s acquired so many nice books, however one of many ones that I can see clearly now could be actually, actually good. And that’s in all probability the place I realized probably the most about forgiveness. And I simply assume it’s actually nice for anybody that’s possibly fighting forgiveness. His, and simply his life story, it’s principally like a life story and the way you might see a lot clearer, you recognize, years later and the way it makes such an affect in your life to love, forgive and watch out with the phrases that you simply select. And yeah, these are some books that actually have been impactful to me and I reread them on a regular basis.
Katie: I’ll embody hyperlinks to these within the present notes for you guys listening on the go. All of that’s all the time at wellnessmama.fm together with hyperlinks to the entire merchandise you guys carry. And I imagine there’s additionally a particular low cost from you guys that shall be within the present notes as effectively. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners right now that may very well be associated to motherhood or intestine well being or mindset or any of the issues we’ve talked about or totally unrelated life recommendation.
Tina: Yeah, you recognize what I might say, simply because we had been speaking about children, I believe, simply spend time along with your children. I believe that’s in all probability one of many greatest issues that has impacted my relationship and my husband’s relationship with our children is simply the truth that we’re spending a whole lot of time, we’ve, we spent a whole lot of time with them and it’s these little, these moments of windshield time, which we, a pal of ours coined so eloquently, you recognize, simply you’re considering like, oh, for those who’re driving them right here and there, you’re not likely spending, it’s not high quality time. Imagine me, that’s generally probably the most high quality time you get is driving them forwards and backwards to actions. They begin to discuss extra. So simply get pleasure from these occasions with them and be pleased about them as a result of they go by so quick. As you recognize, how unhappy I’ve been that my children have gotten older.
Katie: It does go by so quick. I believe my oldest one, turning 16, was a giant, like a form of lightning bolt second for me of realizing simply how little time I might have left with him nonetheless at residence. And so, yeah, I really like that recommendation. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for right now. And Tina, it’s all the time such a pleasure to speak to you. I’m so glad that we acquired to catch up and that we acquired to document it right now. Thanks a lot to your time.
Tina: Thanks, Katie. All the time a beautiful pleasure to speak to you.
