Natasha Rudatsenko, Biochemist and founder of Health Nag, joins Maria Botros on this week's Tell Me Why podcast episode to debunk commonly believed health myths.
Natasha: It's not fat that makes you gain weight, it's sugar, inflammation and carbs
The difference people will feel by just dropping gluten or bread is indescribable, says Natasha
Natasha: Try to adopt one healthy habit at a time, otherwise you will fail if you do them all at once
Celery juice helps boost your immune system, hydrates you, and acts as an antibacterial, antiparasitic and antiviral, says Natasha

NewsTranscript
00:00I was introduced to this when I was in my 20s. I was doing a lot of detoxing and fasting and this is when they 20 years ago
00:06They already were educating about food combining. That's why fruits always on its own never after a full meal
00:11This is just gonna rot because for fruit to be digested they need just 20 minutes boom and they digest it
00:16Meat needs 8 to 12 hours sometimes. So if you first take in meat and then berries only towards the end
00:24While meat is getting digested the berries just sitting there and this fructose it starts to rot
00:28It starts to ferment and then you just end up with a lot of bloating and digestion. So that's why always on an empty stomach fruits
00:36Complex meals protein with vegetables and that's it. You want potatoes you want dolly one rice you do it also with vegetables
00:42Don't pair the two together
00:44We are back it's a brand new episode of tell me why here in the gulf news studios with me in the studio is Natasha
01:04Rudachenko
01:07Yes
01:08She's a biochemist. She's a functional medicine practitioner founder of health nag and the list goes on
01:14I feel like there's so many things I could list and
01:16We are here to talk about you to talk about your brand and to talk about health in general
01:22Natasha before we dig deeper. I want to know more about you. How did you get to where you are today?
01:27How did you you know start the health nag?
01:31Tell me more about yourself. So in my 20s, I was diagnosed with incurable health conditions. Okay, and the doctor told me
01:39It's for life. It
01:41Put me on like hormonal therapy on different kind of drugs and
01:46Medicine and of course I said no like this is this is no way I'm going to take it
01:52there's no way and I decided to kind of start researching and
01:56Since then I've dedicated like over 12 years just to learn everything about like anatomy
02:03Biochemistry are your Veda Chinese medicine? You name it? Like I really went so deep into it and
02:10In this journey during this time I set up for businesses that are health and wellness related
02:17So health neck is not my first and probably not the last knowing myself Wow
02:20and I had already I've had three businesses before and they
02:25It kind of like was just all about living a healthy lifestyle
02:30I wanted to inspire everyone else and
02:32Health neck was born out of that desire to actually educate people as well because I did heal myself
02:37Actually, I healed incurable health conditions. So my passion became so intense
02:43I wanted to spread this information and that's how health neck started started as a blog initially just like a health blog
02:49I was just educating sharing my insight what I've learned in the last let's say 20 years and
02:56Just naturally we transitioned into a supplement brand because community wanted also a product they could blindly trust
03:03With all that information that I was putting out there was so relatable so useful everyone was just like wow
03:09No one is talking about it. So trust was there credibility was there but products were not there
03:14So we just thought it's time to also start launching our products as well
03:18But we are a wellness movement before we are a supplement brand and we will always be like this
03:24We will always keep educating always breaking conventional medicine stereotypes
03:28We always encourage everyone to do preventative medicine rather than reactive medicine, right?
03:33Right, and I feel like it's become such a trend
03:36You know people looking for wellness journeys that actually fit them and they're looking and I love what you're doing because you found a gap
03:43In the market and you filled it you found that there was a gap with you know
03:47being honest and and you know delivering that
03:51Candid information about wellness that people lack that people needed. Absolutely
03:56We actually we actually started to really expand a lot during Corbett
04:01Because that's when people started to take their health seriously until then I was nagging but no one was listening
04:07And now everyone was down with Corbett and the people were really really
04:11Affected by it and they started to listen to what I was saying and I started to do a lot of webinars during Corbett sitting
04:17At home just educating educating heavy very intense like three four hour
04:22Webinar and people loved it and and that's how it grew and grew and grew and of course all the wellness businesses actually started to
04:29To to be better, but it's not what it wasn't my first time
04:32I was talking about health is just everyone started to take it seriously only then at that time. Okay
04:39So we're you know talking about wellness and talking about all these like different
04:43Ideas and concepts that came up one of them, which is a buzzword biohacking. Yes
04:49What is by which I don't like actually, oh, yeah amazing. What is biohacking biohacking is essentially understanding what your body?
04:57Needs to function optimally. Okay, that is that is what it is. There is nothing more to it
05:03I call it health optimization or just purely health because biohacking this feels like I don't know it's something unreachable
05:10You need to understand it. No, it's none of it all these gadgets and everything
05:14Okay, it's it's a cherry on top of the cake, but it's never should be it never should be your base your base should be
05:21Understanding anatomy understanding how your body and organs work giving it nutrition right nutrition giving yourselves, right?
05:29Nutrition giving yourself a proper hydration making sure that you don't just prioritize pleasures when it comes to food
05:35But also prioritize what your body actually needs so it can protect you
05:4024-7 against all the viruses the parasites the bacteria so you don't die
05:44People don't understand that immune system is one number one asset that you have so by hacking, okay, you can extend your life
05:51But again, it's just it's health optimization. The more you do for yourself. It's like a bank, you know, you invest into your health
05:57Nothing gets unnoticed by your body. Your body notices everything you drink celery juice today. You don't drink tomorrow
06:03It notices that you know, it's not like you're trying to fool it or biohack it
06:07You're trying to give it what it needs and that's what I feel. This should be the right word for it
06:12It should be just health optimization. There's no such thing as biohacking. What is that? Your body is a machine. Yes
06:19Understanding the mesh how machine works and then cater to it needs it's important, but it's not biohacking, right?
06:25It's just normal taking care of your body, you know
06:28So it's just maybe a preference of the word, but essentially the intention is this is the same but to be honest
06:34What you mentioned right now is is actually quite interesting because I feel like a lot of people I speak to on a daily basis
06:40Do not understand their body
06:42They do not exactly absolutely
06:45They do not and this is what I was one of the first to start talking about that high acidity is actually low acidity
06:50I started talking about like six seven years ago. And now I'm seeing like oh, wow. I think I have
06:57Low acidity actually to fix my acid reflux
07:01Ironically you need to take more acid. So it you're the our stomach was meant to be acidic
07:08If you remove the acidity, you cannot digest amino acids meaning you cannot digest protein forget it
07:14It will be indigestion. They will it will be rotting inside
07:17It will be like give you flatulence and all that we were meant to be acidic when it comes to our stomach
07:23But what happens during acid reflux is just the acid goes up. This thing stays very
07:29Weak and it keeps opening the doors
07:31But it's usually inflammation and low acidity when you fix both it closes tightly and there's no massive reflux
07:37So this these things and people really don't understand that they don't understand when you drink cold water
07:43Like with ice with your meals you block your bile and you solidify the fat
07:49That means you slow down the digestion by another maybe eight hours
07:54You may you ensure a malabsorption because when fat is really hard is impossible to properly move in your digestive system
08:01And obviously you're for your body to observe cold
08:04What is the worst thing you can do to have with your meals people don't know that simple. You know that there you go
08:11And there's a lot of people so always either don't drink at all or drink something warm to open all your bile ducts
08:18so the bile is released the
08:20Stomach acidity is released. The enzymes are released. Everything works as a system
08:24Anything called eating ice cream will also it will lead to the indigestion
08:28So having a little bit of a cup of tea on top of your ice cream will help to open this bile
08:34Ducts and also help you digest properly fat like with everything in life. The choice will always be there
08:39You have to learn who to trust you need to do your own research
08:42I always say don't take my word for it do your own research
08:45Honestly, what you said is spot-on because I feel like me myself
08:49I'm overwhelmed with everything. Of course, don't eat protein. No eat protein. Of course
08:54It's all about the carnivore diets. No, it's about ketogenic diets. It's it's so
09:01Overwhelming. Absolutely. I feel like people get lost in this chaos
09:04Absolutely, but like understanding first you can you listen to your body where we tend to ignore the signal?
09:09So if you don't know if you're not sure do the genetic test and then understand for yourself
09:13You see predisposition to diabetes watch it. Make sure you take barbarine or other chromium or other things that
09:21Reduce the blood sugar spikes, right or watch the sugar consumption if you don't really have an issue
09:27It's okay. The fruits or other things will not have such an effect on you as on for everyone else
09:32For example, and what if someone doesn't have you know
09:36The ability or the luxury or the accessibility to do like a DNA test
09:40Like how can they do it just on a daily basis?
09:43How can I understand my body as you said like look for listening?
09:48It took me a while to actually listen to my body now I can pick up on so many things. I'm
09:53Hypersensitive whether it's good or not
09:55It could be not so good because when I go on holiday, my body tells me that I don't like it
09:59Well before it would be okay, but now it's small step, right?
10:02Small step left is already Natasha
10:07So it can be not good
10:08But I also liked it because I trained my body then it can quickly tell me but I would say if you're not sure
10:13Do one week coffee one week green tea and see when which week you feel better may take notes more energy less anxiety
10:22More motivation better mood. These are all the things that you should look out for same with food
10:27Try to do oh my god guys the amount of changes you will receive by just dropping gluten just bread
10:35Every single person that I meet right now. It's a 99% out of hundred
10:40You know, they would say as soon as I dropped bread my inflammation gone
10:46So you are about to actually start healing and you have a little bit of piece of bread small amount already is enough to trigger
10:54Severe inflammation then you you trigger it again and then it's a vicious circle
10:58So for you to really heal you need to go one month without breath. I'm just giving an example
11:04Yeah, and same so you test it out going without bread. It shouldn't be such a
11:08Massive drastic difference. There are always something like gluten-free options
11:13So it's not so hard. No, I've learned and I've no I'm not feeling deprived anymore. I eat everything I eat delicious
11:19I love food, but I'm super clean. It just comes natural to me healthy choices in the restaurant
11:24I don't go for like I don't know fried rice. I don't go for fried food. It's like inflammation full-on
11:29It's not about calories. I love fat. If you see how much fat I consume it's insane, but I'm skinny
11:34It's not fat that makes you fat. It's the sugar is the inflammation
11:39So remove those carbs the simple carbs the bread the pasta and all this deep fried stuff
11:43I've been trying to control my insulin spikes again with
11:48Diagnosis it with insulin resistance for a while and back and forth. Obviously, are you taking supplements like berberine for example?
11:55No, I'm not. This is great to to drop the sugars. Really?
11:59And this is what I would do rather taking fruits on it on a full
12:03Stomach because that creates more fermentation at least good digestion fruits on an empty stomach natural spikes
12:10Okay, they're normal. Okay, we were designed like this
12:13But if you take berberine, it will not allow it to spike. It's so so actively so badly
12:19Why do you think people still find it very difficult to be healthy or to lose weight or to meet their you know?
12:25Their health goals. Why do you think like what is the main issue? It's all comes down to
12:31Neurochemistry, I believe it's very hard to be happy without certain foods. It's very hard to be
12:37happy without alcohol
12:40Before again, I relate to both stories because it's not like I was always like this healthy
12:45I was quite opposite actually quite disastrous. So for me telling me that to go
12:50For a birthday party or to any party and not to drink
12:53I would just say no because I could not imagine this it would be the most boring activity ever and
13:00This was because my own brain was not producing enough of those happy hormones not enough dopamine not enough this
13:07Serotonin because it was cheap dopamine based on sugar based on I was deriving it from food
13:14From alcohol from parties and all the other things like we call it cheap dopamine because it has side effects
13:20Now I am very driven. I have goals
13:23That's that's a beautiful thing to have when when you want to boost your dopamine without goals
13:27We humans we need we need other pleasures. So this for me is like a pleasure right now
13:33The
13:34The serotonin like you derive from I don't know if you're from nature from relationships from other things you like
13:41I I'm not anymore addicted to this party. It's like a
13:45Addiction, it's like a drug alcohol sugar
13:48Works exactly the same way in the in your brain
13:50That's why it's so difficult to go off drugs
13:52And that's why it's so difficult to go off sugar if it's sugar then go from very high
13:58Gluten dairy sugar go for a cleaner one. I don't know banana bread
14:02That's with healthier sugar or a dark chocolate with nuts, you know
14:06Something like you can try and start fooling your brain a little bit. That's maybe what I would call biohacking
14:12Okay particular case that's you're fooling your own biochemistry and and just really the healthier
14:17You are the more you start going to the gym, for example, and then you will crave less sugar
14:23It's just it's just like but of course if you're a complete beginner, you're just starting up forget it
14:27The motivation will be super low in this case
14:29I would use supplements that boost your mood and there are supplements that you can literally force your body to produce more of the
14:36Dopamine there are supplements like that like l-dopa and they actually called like the very similar to that five HTP
14:42These are the things that help you to create a very good mood and not depending so much on food
14:48this is again another way of maybe
14:51Biohacking right because then you kind of like it's a drug, but it's healthy
14:55Yeah, you know and until you go to the gym
14:57At least you get the motivation to go to the gym to be healthier without these supplements
15:01Maybe you'll fail take one healthy habit one just one and until you are very comfortable that habit do not add anything else
15:09This is my otherwise you too hard on yourself and most likely you will just fail and you don't want to fail
15:14Also all the time because at the same time we are connected to that winning
15:18We want that end result is what gives us this pleasure
15:20So nail one habit it doesn't matter
15:22It takes you two three weeks to drop the bed bread or two three months or one year to stop there
15:28It's okay, but stop do one habit. Mmm. Okay our gut. Yes, and our gut health. Yes
15:35Everyone has an issue right now
15:37Absolutely
15:37Everyone the microbiome and and you know the fact that your gut is your second brain and people need to listen to their gut
15:43I mean not just only listen to their body but listen to their actual gut
15:47Yeah, so what are some of the main issues with the gut like everyone everyone is down my theory is that yeah
15:54We are definitely not eating well, and if you go to airport or any other entity everywhere even to healthy events
16:00This is what drives me insane. This is why I need the big mic and say guys
16:03We are the wellness event right now. Why is the only thing that's available is gluten?
16:09Yeah, and if they are very nice to you as well, they'll give you some dairy as well
16:13You know, and that's it and some coffee. Oh my god, what what are we eating in hospitals?
16:19You are recovering from a major operation. What are you?
16:22What's oh my god, like I get so so annoyed when I see yogurt
16:28Bread croissant usually mm-hmm tea with sugar. This is what we're feeding
16:33This is a feast for all kind of bacterias that even antibiotics will not help. You know, like I'm just giving an example
16:40So we are not eating right all these desserts all this bread like the moment you sit down in the restaurant
16:45What they give you the bread, of course
16:47And of course you get eat the bread first your blood sugar spikes and then you and you're not
16:51We don't really have so much room anymore for actual food
16:54And then it's just gluten clocks your entire digestive system. Nothing is moving there
17:00That's why and we deep fried and all that and then on top of that sugar alcohol caffeine stress and lack of sleep
17:07So this is the reason why our gut is so inflamed
17:10pairing
17:12Protein with potatoes or rice is the worst combo
17:16if you have
17:19Sluggish digestion if you're like a soldier superstar, which is no one these days. Yeah
17:26This is the problem better not to pair those two together. Yeah, this is how I eat
17:30I eat protein with vegetables and if I want carbs like a potato or pizza, I'll do it just with vegetables
17:36Of course pizza. I'm not going to touch gluten. Yeah, I'm talking any other let's say buckwheat or or
17:42rice
17:43Yeah, so something like that
17:44This is very very important and I'm used to it and I was introduced to this when I was in my 20s
17:49I was doing a lot of detoxing and fasting and this is when they 20 years ago
17:53They already were educating about food combining. That's why fruits always on its own never after a full meal
17:58This is just gonna rot because for fruit to be digested
18:01They need just 20 minutes boom and they digest it meat needs 8 to 12 hours sometimes
18:06So if you first take in meat and then berries only towards the end
18:11While meat is getting digested the berries just sitting there and it's fructose it starts to rot starts to ferment and
18:17Then you just end up with a lot of bloating and digestion. So that's why always on an empty stomach fruits
18:23Complex meals protein with vegetables and that's it. You want potatoes you want doll you want rice you do it also with vegetable
18:30Don't pair the two together with the protein. Yeah, that's the hardest but if you really want to be a superwoman
18:37Yes, and most Oh Superman. Yeah, if you start eating like this, you'll be first of all energy level sleep
18:43You you the bloating you'll forget about the bloating part
18:47It will be just your metabolism will increase the skin will increase improve. There's so many benefits. This is how I eat
18:53I'm I'm eating like this for God knows how long right as I say 15 years, of course you sleep. It's okay
18:59Yeah, I'm talking in general in general. Yeah, I mean the rule not the exception. There's always exceptions
19:04You know, you mentioned celery juice. I you mentioned so many things that I want to talk about
19:08I want to talk about detox
19:12We're gonna talk we're gonna talk about all these things but celery juice cuz I for one tried them and I love them
19:18I absolutely love them. But tell me the benefits of that. Like what are the benefits of these cold-pressed celery juices?
19:25Yeah, so any any veggie vegetable juice obviously, it's very good for you
19:30Parsley is phenomenal. It's one of the most incredible
19:33Juice that you can have you need a lot of obviously parsley to do it, but you can combine it with cucumbers and some apples
19:39So this is good. But if to talk just about celery juice, first of all, it's very high in electrolytes. Okay a
19:45Special sauce that it contains. It's like a natural electrolytes. It's
19:49Incredibly hydrating. Okay. Also, it's very low in sugar and
19:53It's high in minerals and vitamins so it's like a little multivitamin that you take right away
19:59Also, it kills viruses a lot of us have viral infections without us knowing it
20:05Okay, like Epstein by hippies. There's so many viral infections that we have
20:10It's also we have like bacterias that we don't know about the parasites. We don't know about and they're all
20:17Exhausting our immune system. So
20:20Essentially
20:21Celery juice is just helps you body to get rid of it. It boosts your immune system. It
20:27hydrates you but it also is acting as I can antibacterial anti parasitic and
20:33Antiviral and that's why I like it because it's not appeal. It's the nature. Okay going back to detoxes. Let's do it
20:39What's your opinion on like these detox diets or these detox juice, you know?
20:44Again juice is good
20:45If it's not fortified with fruits any juice is good because the amount of nutrients that you're gonna get from juice is higher
20:52Than if you would be you would have to eat like a huge ball of celery, for example to get the same nutrition
20:57So juice is good. But if you start using fruits, this is a big no-no because then you just sugar and minus the fiber
21:02Okay, so unless it's a green vegetable. It's great to juice it
21:08Detox is can never be just the product. It's an activity
21:13Detox is any detox is
21:17supporting your natural
21:20Detoxification processes, that's it. There's nothing more to it. It cannot be just one product that will detoxify you
21:26Initiate that process within your body. So we have a detox product to give you an example like I used to fast, right?
21:32Fasting is incredible because on day three or day four you enter autophagy
21:36This is when your body literally start cleansing even the cancer cells and all this faulty cells pre cancerous cells
21:42you know that we are producing cancers are pretty much regular a lot of us the immune system is just able to identify it and
21:48Kill it at all. They kill it immediately. Yes during fasting this process is on steroids. It's becoming much much more bigger
21:54So you're literally your immune system doesn't have and it doesn't need to spend any energy on
22:00Digestive process or any other process is it just activates your immune system starts to scan your entire body
22:07Looking for bad faulty cells and kill it and do do the does the cleaning, you know, like a major
22:13Spring cleaning that you can think of and this is what happened during fasting
22:17However, majority of people cannot achieve this as a beginner impossible. The hunger is too strong
22:23So we've created the program which I've used in the past where we hack it. Actually, this would be good also worried for it
22:32With the fiber that is not food
22:34It's not a meal replacement, but it keeps you full while keeping you in a fasting state
22:38Okay, so first we achieve that so you're gonna get into autophagy without the starvation
22:42Okay, that exact fiber. Also, there is no detox without cleansing your liver and your digestive system
22:50There is no detox all this juice fast. They're useless. It's just water comes through the justices
22:55Okay, it's meal meal reduction. It's a calorie restriction. That's how I would call it, but it's not a detox for the detox
23:02You need to support your liver and you need to clean your colon, which is the dirtiest organ in all humans
23:07It's factual by the way. There's a lot going on. There's a lot of parasites. There's a lot of bacteria
23:12There's like it's it needs to be cleaned
23:14If you if you have a sluggish digestive system, most likely your colon is extremely toxic. You don't know it
23:20it shows in your face it shows in your energy levels in your sleep in your
23:23Mood because we are very moody. That's why I have to detox
23:26There's so much happiness because your body is relieved literally of this toxicity of that inflammation
23:32So unless the program has a lot of fiber that cleanse your digestive system and allows you to fast there is no detox
23:39So we have this program as per this is actually first product that we've launched in health snack
23:44The fasting kit that is a colon cleanse, but not a laxative
23:49It's just a lot of fiber that's kind of like very unique type of fiber has an ability to attach itself to all these
23:54pockets because colon has pockets and very often these pockets are full with mucoid plaque or
24:00Undigested waste as I call it and there's a lot of going on
24:03That's not supposed to be there and this fiber just allows it to kind of like scoop it out attach it to itself
24:09And because it's not digestible, it just releases from the release from the body in one like big rope
24:15Naturally painlessly with dignity nice you feel
24:21Incredible you feel like you you're ready to fly because your body loves the feeling afterwards. It sends you all the signals
24:27Oh my god, whatever you did is amazing. Plus you fast as you enter the autophagy you cleanse you cleanse your entire
24:34like cellular system
24:36The longer you go three four five days is fantastic because then you really can rejuvenate your entire cellular health your collagen
24:44Levels are boosted by 2,000 percent new stem cells are released and stem cells is like the most powerful anti-aging anti-inflammatory
24:51It heals all the organs. These can only happen during fasting for at least three days
24:56Minimum and this is the cheapest stem cell cell stem cell
25:01Therapy that I can ever recommend. So we've combined these two and that's why you get such an incredible
25:08Result from this detox no other product out there that has the same ingredients or works in the exact same way
25:15That's why we're getting like a lot of people dr. Karim who is very famous here
25:20He mostly talks in Arabic about he tried it four times. He's like I'm blown away. I want more people to try it
25:25It's like a transformational program that one person needs to do just once a year or once in two years and have
25:32Dramatic transformation health and mood wise and sleep and skin
25:35So if you have like an acne prone skin, or you have breakouts very often one detox can really absolutely renew your skin
25:44I'm blown away because I mean we it is a trend right now colon cleansing and like, you know, it should be
25:51Yeah, all these supplements that have come out there are even machines. I think that people are using like to
25:57Machines are not powerful enough with water. That's what I mean. You need something very very strong
26:01Powerful thing that coming not from
26:04How to say that from down up?
26:06Yeah
26:06But in a natural way and it has to be very effective and strong for it to make a difference
26:11Because that fiber is super unique. I have not seen in any in any other product. It's it has like a gluish consistency
26:18so it literally
26:20Attaches itself to everything that does not belong to your colon and drags it out releases it and then
26:26Obviously you during the fast state ketones are released like mood boosting and anti-inflammation
26:32Activities in full mode the incredible benefits people sleep better right away afterwards. The mood is incredible
26:38They don't they don't have sugar cravings because they got rid of all those parasites who actually tend to crave sugar
26:45This is essentially what we love doing on this show and it's exactly what we want to bring people knowledge education
26:51We want people to feel relieved
26:53I mean, of course so many people have struggled for years. You were talking about struggling for I don't know how many years
26:59Um, I've been struggling
27:02Practically my whole adulthood like I've always been looking for something that works for my body that makes me feel comfortable
27:08But also makes me feel satisfied. I mean, I want to get better, but I also want to be happy
27:12I mean, of course, I want to do like a strict diet. That's you know, restrictive and
27:17From enjoying life, but that's also another thing that you should be able to it's kind of like paying your rent
27:23No one likes to pay rent, right? Yeah, but we have to do it
27:27So I would look at taking care of your body in the same way. It's not that we enjoy you can't always enjoy
27:32There are certain things that you owe to your body period. There's no more comments. There's no other discussion
27:37You owe this to your body. You only have one and it's not
27:41Unbreakable, right?
27:43so even if you do need to go on a certain diet for one month, you have to do it because there's no other way and
27:51Understanding that like that you owe to your body. What is more important for you to go?
27:54Let's say one month without bread and sugar and alcohol or actually have a lot of health issues in the future
28:02So it's kind of like it depends. What's your why if you do one month very clean diet and go back to completely normal
28:10Useless you defeated so you need to slowly
28:13Reprogram because we are conditioned to cakes. We are conditioned to alcohol. We're conditioned. So it's tough. It's tough
28:20It's a habit when your body is introduced a new habit for 20 days your mind shifts
28:26So first maybe 20 days that you're gonna go out on the party with alcohol gonna be tough
28:31but then it becomes natural because then you derive the real happiness from the people that you are with from the goals that you have
28:38from the beautiful shape that you are
28:41Seeing in yourself, you know and and and flat stomach without like any things
28:46Use you change. It's just you change you make the most of what you have today
28:50I mean, it's not about as you said living until I'm a hundred
28:53No, it's about feeling good about myself in the now exactly making the most of what I have now exactly
28:59Tell me this 15 years ago. I would be depressed because I was a smoker. I was a drinker
29:04I was eating really bad. Like I could not imagine my life without certain things and and and I didn't but my healthiest is right
29:11Now not then and then at some point I did quit smoking and you know what? I'm not thinking about it now. I quit drinking
29:18I'm not even thinking about it. I don't even want it
29:21that means if I can anyone can it just takes a little bit of time of rewiring your neurochemistry your your
29:29Attachment to dopamine to it. It is possible for you. It feels now not possible
29:33But for me was the same but I've changed that narrative. I love it. Natasha. You are wonderful
29:39And I think that's the best advice
29:41I was just gonna ask you and I think you answered it without me having to ask I was I was just thinking like what?
29:47Advice would you have for people and that's it? I mean taking baby steps
29:51Absolutely wire your your your brain to get used to new
29:56Positive habits. Yeah life. Yeah, take it one step at a time. Don't give up everything at once abruptly
30:02No, take it easy because healthier choices to okay
30:05If you are on alcohol like instead of having like I don't know martini or sweet cocktails
30:10Spirit like simple things support your liver next day as well. That will help right make sure okay
30:16You have one drink and and then you have one glass of water in between so usually people drinks drink drinks
30:22I would like the small things your body notices it, you know, or like squeeze some fresh lemon juice. Okay straightaway vitamin C
