And I’m right here with Tina Anderson, who you may need heard from earlier than. I’ll hyperlink to her earlier episodes within the present notes, however she is, like I stated, a pricey private pal and somebody whose work I respect deeply.
Her journey into the well being world was fairly distinctive. She truly started her profession as a trial lawyer who specialised in settling instances by bringing each side collectively, which is a private ardour of hers. However as soon as she had youngsters, she realized that was actually excessive stress for her household. And so she was in a position to make use of her authorized expertise to level her profession in a route because the in-house counsel for a household firm in prescribed drugs. However what she noticed there made her change route once more, as a result of she was annoyed by most of the abuses she noticed within the pharmaceutical business. And she or he turned towards the sector of pure well being and located her life’s work and objective.
And she or he started to analysis all she may about illness prevention and good well being upkeep and received deeply into intestine well being and the way related the intestine is for general 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 a complete 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 highschool. We speak about parenting, mindset, together with a implausible 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 components for good intestine well being, the largest myths about probiotics, what to know when searching for 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 buddies and I additionally take into account you want one of many folks I am going to for recommendation. You’ve received youngsters who at the moment are grown and who you have got superior relationships with. And I really like having you as a sounding board and a pal. And I’m glad that at this time I get to ask you a few of those self same questions and we get to file it and let others share the dialog as effectively. So I’m very grateful that you just’re right here.
And for this episode, we wished to deal with the theme of again to highschool. I do know I’m gearing up for that with my youngsters proper now. A number of different households most likely are as effectively. And you’ve got at the very least greater than 18 years of expertise of this together with your youngsters and their numerous totally different ages. So I really feel like it is a matter that might be a complete collection 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 may cowl. However to begin broad, I’d love to listen to in case you guys had any form of traditions, routines or something in your loved ones across the again to highschool time.
Tina: Yeah, , I feel what I simply have such fond recollections of is simply the entire going again to highschool procuring. You understand, they cherished getting their college provides once they have been little and, , we’d all the time exit for ice cream afterwards and simply sort of make it sort of enjoyable, slightly custom. And so, after which we’d do, , the opposite enjoyable half was like discovering on the market’s a instructor, , once they return to highschool and so they discover out their instructor and it might, it might, we’d all go collectively and it might 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. Nevertheless it was, it was all the time, we all the time tried to make it actually enjoyable.
Katie: I really like that. I feel my expertise is slightly totally different with homeschooling, though we do nonetheless the college procuring half. However for us, it’s like gearing up for the sports activities and so they nonetheless have very lively social lives, however often by means of their actions versus by means of college. However one factor I do know that could be a concern for lots of households is, and particularly with youthful youngsters, that again to highschool section and reintroducing with an even bigger group of individuals tends to even be generally slightly little bit of an immune system problem. Plus now we have all through, as we undergo the autumn, the climate cools down, we’re getting much less shiny gentle and daylight, extra indoors, extra all this stuff that may form of construct as much as sort of take a success on our immune system.
And so one factor I take into consideration loads this time of yr is we’re shifting into that’s what are a number of the issues we will proactively do to maintain our our bodies, our immune methods and our bodily well being optimum, even whereas we’re placing much more inputs into it? So do you have got any methods for that, for preserving our immune system sturdy, for preserving from getting sick as a lot as potential as we return into the college, the college sort of routine?
Tina: Properly, I feel you hit the nail on the pinnacle with not being outdoors as a lot and never seeing the brightness and the sunshine. I feel now we have to be extra prescriptive about being outdoors within the solar and getting a good quantity of sunshine in the course of the day, even within the winter months and the autumn months, such as you talked about. I feel we’re, and these youngsters 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 in the course of the college yr. And I feel simply attempting to get them to be shifting extra. And I feel as dad and mom, we simply, I imply, the errors I made, I feel was with my oldest, particularly, I’d be like, oh, we received to get good grades and we have to deal with this.
And, , 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 burdened, placing a lot strain on our youngsters with grades and, and the way you, , what you probably did on this report and simply focusing extra on well being and wellness. And I feel I did that extra with my youngest. I used to be rather more in step with attempting to get him outdoors extra and being out in nature. So I feel that might be one space to begin together with your immune system, simply attempting to get some extra outdoors sunshine and be extra lively as a result of we simply grow to be so sedentary after we have been again to highschool.
Katie: That’s so true. And also you’re undoubtedly one in all my inspirations on this as a result of I’ve gotten to journey with you a couple of instances 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 instances 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 sort of fascinating areas like downtown New Orleans at totally different instances.
However I really feel like that is possibly one in all many causes that you’re such a ball of power is that you just make time, intentional time for motion and time outdoors, which it’s humorous that we want science to remind us of this, however the research simply maintain sort of displaying up about why these issues are so necessary. And I really feel such as you’re such instance of that.
Tina: Yeah, effectively, thanks. I cherished it. And I’d stroll my youngsters to highschool. I used to be in a neighborhood that allowed us to do this. And I feel that in case you can stroll your youngsters to highschool and you’ve got the flexibleness to do it, I used to be lucky. I labored from house. I used to be in a position to stroll them to highschool, however simply getting them began out, strolling is so necessary. I feel, after which simply, after which, , even in highschool, , a number of youngsters are driving going again to highschool and it’s, and I simply suppose attempting to get them to only be lively and transfer extra and simply empowering them with that. I feel that’s the opposite factor as dad and mom.
I’ve realized is that you would be able to’t simply inform them one thing, , you might want to present them the analysis and it’s important to present, like have them watch a documentary a few matter that you just 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 might make the adjustments briefly whenever you inform them, however when, , they’re empowered by the information 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 feel, when anytime we speak about parenting on this Podcast can be, to your level, the significance of modeling. And I feel it’s so true that that saying that stated in many various methods to many various folks, the concept that what we are saying is necessary and so they’ll generally hear, however they’re going to pay much more consideration to what we do, even when they fake they’re not or if they struggle to not, that’s what’s going to stay within the long-term.
And so I feel as mothers, particularly, such as you stated, that is what helps us to maintain that focus of us modeling the factor is definitely the factor that’s going to profit them essentially the most. That is most likely why we see that statistic {that a} mother’s train and health degree truly has a dramatic influence on her youngsters. It’s as a result of I consider that modeling and them seeing it, which by us doing it, it truly provides them permission to prioritize it as effectively. And so I really feel like that is one in all my core form 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 preserving good traces of communication and good relationship together with your youngsters as they undergo the teenage years and into maturity? As a result of I do know from interacting with your loved ones, you have got an superior relationship with all your youngsters and a really shut, each rapid and prolonged household. And I feel that’s so lovely. 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 youngsters. And , it’s so humorous, so many individuals have requested me this. And I feel one of many issues I bear in mind when my youngsters have been in highschool and , possibly they weren’t partaking within the actions that different folks have been so far as, , possibly the behaviors they weren’t presupposed to be doing. My youngsters have been like, oh, I don’t wish to do this.
And, and other people would say like, how did you have got your youngsters not do this at that age? And I’m like, I don’t, I don’t actually know apart from I simply made house a really secure place. Not, not simply secure. All of us wish to make our house secure, 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 house with us.
And I by no means, like I’d by no means be like, oh, what are your pals doing? You understand, why aren’t you going out? And effectively, can’t you discover any plans? Or I’d 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, , dad and I? And so I’d, it was extra about, , making it regular that they have been house with us and never like it’s important to be comply with the social norms of like doing issues.
They did loads of social actions in highschool, however , all of them undergo phases the place buddies possibly begin to change and teams begin to change. And I simply suppose 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 feel that was actually necessary. And never being so strict. I feel the much less strict we’re, and I imply, youngsters want boundaries. I’m an enormous proponent of that. I feel youngsters, particularly in youngsters, undoubtedly want boundaries, however simply, , not being so judgmental about possibly they made a mistake and so they made a selection that they shouldn’t have made, however not judging them on a regular basis and making them really feel unhealthy about issues. I feel that has actually helped us be very open about issues.
Katie: That’s such an awesome level, particularly in these cases the place they make a mistake as a result of they’re most likely going to be taught sufficient from that lesson from having made the error and possibly be more durable on themselves than we might be. And so I really feel like if we will allow them to maintain 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 feel then places extra power into the motion itself. I really like that method.
And I feel additionally you touched on one thing helpful, which is it doesn’t matter what age they’re, we will’t, I neglect who stated this, however we will’t make them and we will’t repair them. Like all these issues have to come back from within them. And so if we will view it as how can we help them in these classes and be the secure place they’ll be taught these classes with out judgment, I feel that basically helps that relationship. And I additionally love, it looks like you do that so effectively in your house, of being the place the place not simply your youngsters, however anyone can go and it’s a spot of unconditional love. And that was what I all the time actually wished to goal for. And it appears to be taking part in out with my youngsters is I wished to be the place the place they all the time felt comfy having their buddies, 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 feel that’s like an intangible that we will’t put a worth on, however one which like hopefully actually helps that relationship for our entire lives with our youngsters.
Tina: Yeah, and I imply, you’re a full mannequin of that. I imply, I bear in mind being over and having all these youngsters round and simply everybody having a lot enjoyable and being lively. And it’s actually necessary to have your house be that approach for everybody. I additionally suppose like to the touch upon grades, I feel that’s one of many largest classes as a dad or mum I realized. I imply, I used to be so totally different parenting my oldest than my youngest. And I feel now we have to only deal with studying. I’m certain you speak about this on a regular basis, Katie, I do know you do, but it surely’s like, , the grade shouldn’t be, I simply really feel prefer it’s virtually irrelevant.
You understand, I imply, what I deal with, particularly my youngest is in school now, I’m like, simply deal with 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 , typically whenever you’re studying and also you’re actually specializing in studying, no matter it’s, the grades fall into place. However I feel we simply get so caught up, particularly in highschool with, , finding out for, attempting to get into faculties and all the social patterns that we’re presupposed to comply with. I simply would warning everyone to only have your deal with studying. Attempt to get your little one to like to study no matter matter it’s and in no matter method it’s. It doesn’t need to be within the classroom. It might be Ted Talks, it might be no matter it’s.
Katie: Completely. That’s a talent that may serve you your entire life and that hopefully all of us as adults are nonetheless doing every single day in some kind. However you’re proper. I feel I didn’t be taught that lesson till maturity. I very a lot was so nervous about grades in highschool and I feel I hooked up components of my identification to how effectively I did in class. And it was an awesome factor to love un-pattern and like go off later in life. Nevertheless it’s one thing I’ve been conscious of with my youngsters of attempting to by no means assist or not like sort 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 college, however to deal with the core ideas of curiosity and studying and connecting the dots and having enjoyable and overcoming challenges as a result of these are the abilities which might be going to really translate into grownup life and no matter they find yourself selecting, which could not be one thing within the educational area, however these are the extra like gentle expertise which might be going to serve them in any side of life.
And I feel 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 received from you, which is that all the things 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’d love to listen to, I do know we’ve talked about this slightly bit in our different podcasts, however what have been a few of your huge form 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 big a part of my life. My father truly used to wake me up within the morning and inform me I’m getting higher and higher every single day in each approach. And it was, it was, and I believed, , 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 create your future, you create your life and it’s the phrases that you just use. Try to be very cautious with the phrases that you just use.
That, , I talked to him and I’d say one thing like, oh my God, I’m loopy. I can’t consider 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 just carry to any state of affairs. He used to again within the day, my God, , I imply, it was a very long time in the past. He wished to have books on tape earlier than books on tape have been a factor. So he would have me dictate Wayne Dyer’s guide right into a tape recorder. And I’d 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 feel subconsciously that was all ingrained in me.
And so then Wayne Dyer turned an enormous instructor 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, , we actually, we have to do our life’s work. We have to, we may create our future by the, the, the best way we reside our life. I feel forgiveness is a big side of it. That’s one of many cool issues that Wayne Dyer talks about loads. And I’ve coached different family and friends members on forgiveness that I feel 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 suppose our phrases are actually necessary and our power that we carry to any state of affairs is basically necessary. And, and as , my well-known mantra that I all the time say is all the things works out completely for me. And I feel what’s necessary about that, folks suppose that’s such a daring assertion to say, however all the things works out completely for me simply implies that it’s figuring out completely for me on this state of affairs. And it’s not the best way I essentially wished 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, , the universe is offering for me or God is offering for me.
Katie: Yeah, I’ve that assertion on my wall truly in my bed room now too. And it’s actually truly helped me undertake a few of that mindset as effectively. And to your level, it’s not that all the things works out how I would like it to work out, however a number of us can most likely look in hindsight at even issues we thought have been very troublesome throughout no matter level we have been going by means of them and that we’d haven’t essentially chosen. However then years later, see how that basically shifted the course of our life or supplied a lesson that was actually obligatory 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 trying 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 maintain prime of thoughts with my youngsters too, is to hopefully assist them have the body of reference to be current in no matter view it as taking place completely, even when it’s not nice or pleasing on a regular basis, and to search for the lesson or to search for the wonder in it, even when it’s one thing that possibly is troublesome or exhausting.
I additionally love that you just 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 feel usually we predict, oh, I can forgive them in the event that they do that, or if solely they’d apologize, if solely they’d make it proper. And I feel 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 a complete separate factor and that does contain the opposite particular person. However I feel 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 particular person 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 loads, 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 along with his father and rapidly he began forgiving his father and all of those different issues. His profession began taking off. Like his relationships have been even higher than they have been earlier than. So I imply, it’s superb what occurs whenever you forgive and it’s so exhausting. And it’s not like I’m saying, oh, forgive sooner or later, you forgive. It’s a course of. However in case you simply see that it opens up a lot in your individual life and as unhealthy as somebody has handled you, as horrible as one thing that somebody has executed to you, in case you may get to some extent of forgiveness, you’ll actually begin seeing nice issues occur in your life.
Katie: Yeah, and other people have most likely 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 find out how to do and dealing with all of the medical doctors and had spreadsheets for all the things, attempting 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 each 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 feel we possibly can all consider examples of somebody who simply continues to have well being issues possibly, however they’ve a mindset that’s form of like manifesting of their bodily well being or folks such as you who’ve this all the things works out completely for me mindset and who like appear to be thriving and limitless power. And I feel that not all the time is {that a} trigger and impact relationship, definitely by any means, however that these are actually helpful components to recollect it’s each/and, not both or with regards to this stuff.
Tina: Properly, completely. And I, , I’m clearly interviewed on fairly a couple of 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 respiratory or acupuncture, therapeutic massage, no matter it’s that calms you down. We should be doing this stuff to be taking good care of our intestine well being. After which the reverse is true. You understand, you might want to be taking good care of your intestine well being to ship alerts again to the mind. And, , it’s like now we have to do not forget that what’s happening mentally is affecting us bodily and vice versa. What’s happening bodily can 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 loads, 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 direction of myself had a direct influence 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 in case you have some other ideas for form of nurturing a optimistic mindset towards oneself, as a result of it looks like for many individuals that’s truly essentially the most troublesome to beat. Like we will be type and the way we communicate to our youngsters and our companions and our buddies, 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 every single day and I feel it’s nonetheless exhausting for me, , I feel one of many issues that has helped me is simply doing each day morning affirmations. So I’ve my affirmations and it simply units the time out to begin out on observe and saying phrases which might be affirming the best way that you just wish to reside your day and your life.
So I feel optimistic affirmations and the opposite factor is like I’ll discover myself beating myself up as a result of I stated one thing like, oh, , God, these pants are tight on me. After which I’m like, why am I consuming like a pig? Or, , I say one thing like, I’m like, oh my God, Tina, 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 feel like acknowledge that you just do. All of us do 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 now we have to remind ourselves of that.
However I feel saying the morning affirmations is so highly effective to begin your time out. 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 just’re engaged on and the way you wish to set your intentions for the day. I’ve a number of. I alter 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 stated for most likely 10 years. So I feel it’s simply necessary to phrases are highly effective. And I do consider our unconscious thoughts absorbs these phrases. And so be very prescriptive concerning the phrases that you just say to your self.
Katie: I really like that recommendation. And I really like that we received to get into the mindset facet first, as a result of I actually do consider, like we’ve talked about, that it is a actually enormous key, even with regards to bodily well being, and that always it’s missed or usually it feels insurmountable. And I feel any, even small child steps make an enormous distinction in that space. And so I really like that we received to the touch on that.
However I do know that you just even have a ton of experience within the bodily well being facet and particularly in intestine well being. And I feel that is additionally essential presently of yr specifically, not simply because usually when folks return to highschool, their meals can change slightly bit as a result of a number of instances you’re consuming in school now or packing lunches, but additionally as a result of like we talked about, gentle’s altering, your immune system is altering and its inputs at that time, possibly sleep is altering since you’ve received youngsters have extra homework and so they’re up later. There’s a lot happening there.
And it looks like we’ve heard sufficient a lot from all these research about intestine well being being completely linked to all facets of well being, that something we will do this helps our intestine well being truly has optimistic ripple results into all areas of well being, from sleep to emphasize to in fact, 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 put in a number of hours into determining the perfect options for intestine well being.
However I’d love so that you can begin broad and stroll us by means of what are a number of the core ideas of excellent intestine well being, whether or not it’s issues which might be higher to keep away from, issues which might be nice to devour, whether or not it’s stress components, what are the large needle movers with regards to intestine well being?
Tina: Properly, initially, I’m so glad that you just talked about that the truth that intestine well being has to do with nearly each side of our general well being. And naturally, 80% of our immune system is present in our intestine. So we’re attempting so exhausting to love ramp up our youngsters and ourselves, our immune system as we head into fall and winter. And now we have to recollect, we’ve received to deal with our intestine well being as a result of it’s actually dictating each side, nearly each side of our general well being and primarily our immune system. So you might be completely proper to say that.
So a number of the issues I feel to keep away from, , sadly, the world we reside in is so detrimental to our intestine micro organism. You understand, our intestine is comprised of all these useful 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 largest issues is antibiotics. So we all know now to keep away from antibiotics and as a lot as potential, however they’re present in animal merchandise, they’re present in our meals provide. So now we have to attempt to be very conscious of the meals that we’re consuming that shouldn’t have antibiotics in them.
Additionally with Glyphosate, which is the lively ingredient in Roundup, and it’s sprayed throughout our produce. And that’s so detrimental to our intestine well being. A number of family and private care merchandise are very detrimental. A number of shampoos, toothpaste, which is why I’d clearly advocate everyone take, , use Wellnesse as a result of I imply, initially, 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 suppose now we have to be aware 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, , the world that we’re residing in. And so we actually should be specializing in taking good care of our intestine well being. Sadly, the soil that we’re consuming off of doesn’t have a number of the microbes that we actually have been used to getting our ancestors used to get. So we, , it’s good to eat fermented meals. Undoubtedly would advocate fermented meals, simply not as a substitute for a top quality probiotic. That’s the place I feel the large mistake is made, is folks suppose fermented meals is a substitute for a probiotic. It has tons of vitamins. It’s very supportive of your intestine well being, but it surely’s not a substitute for a probiotic. It doesn’t as a result of the large… , side of probiotics, in fact, is survivability. And the spore-based probiotic strains that we work with truly, we all know survive and get to the intestines alive.
So I’d actually deal with avoiding, like antibiotics, avoiding Glyphosate, which is the lively ingredient in Roundup, and deal with consuming natural meals, definitely consuming fermented meals, after which taking a high-quality probiotic can be, , 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 a complete episode about this, so I’ll hyperlink to it within the present notes. Individuals can go actually deep. But additionally I really feel like there’s a number of myths surrounding probiotics. So I really like that you just touched on that fermented meals and probiotics, each necessary however separate, they don’t change one another. We want the fiber and the enzymes and all the things 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’d 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 delusion is the refrigeration delusion. You understand, so many, even medical doctors will say, oh, with a purpose to be probiotic, it must be refrigerated. And the explanation why they stated that was as a result of, , you want a reside microorganism with a purpose to even be outlined as a probiotic. So a probiotics definition is a reside microorganism that confers a profit onto the host, which is the physique. In order that they’re pondering, oh, effectively, with a purpose to be alive, it must be within the fridge. However when you concentrate on it, if a probiotic pressure must be alive, to, they’ll’t even stand 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 could be very acidic and meant to be the gastric barrier, nearly all of strains in the marketplace 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 with a purpose to be probiotic might be one of many largest myths on the market. And it nonetheless must be debunked. The factor with the strains that we work with, they’re truly dormant. They’re not reside, like within the bottle, they’re not alive. They’re truly dormant. After which once they get to the intestines, in order that they make that journey out of your throat by means of the gastric system. And once they get into the intestines, that’s once they take their spore shell off. And that’s once they go into their reside vegetative cell, reside vegetative cell state. And that’s once they begin doing the magic within the microbiome.
So now we have to recollect, a probiotic doesn’t should be alive within the fridge. A probiotic must be alive in your intestines. And that’s one of many largest myths. So we actually wanna be sure that the probiotic is alive within the intestines.
After which I feel one of many different huge myths out there may be that you just want a excessive rely, a excessive CFU rely. 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 truly no research. There are not any research behind displaying extra is healthier. In actual fact, there may be research displaying now that like generally when you have got a number of totally different strains and many totally different excessive variety of CFU truly may trigger some points and we may go into that later.
However the necessary factor to know is of these three billion or nonetheless many billion CFUs you have got at a product, what sort of change are they making within the intestine? And one of many first research we did was one thing known 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 sort 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 there’s actually no analysis behind that.
Katie: That’s so good to know. And the factor I cherished about this once I realized that was that it meant that now I may get probiotics to my youngsters rather more simply as a result of the refrigerated ones wanted to be taken in these very particular circumstances and also you wished the children to swallow them and a number of my youthful ones on the time couldn’t swallow drugs.
However once I realized concerning the spore-based ones and the way they might survive by means of the intestine and survive at warmth, I spotted I may combine these into meals, into smoothies, and it was a lot, a lot simpler to get them for my youngsters than in the event that they needed to swallow a tablet solely. And so I really like that.
And I feel you guys have made this even simpler now as a result of the gummies simply received to my home just lately and my little ones are virtually addicted to those. However I’d guess it’s an identical idea as a result of they’re secure 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 and so they 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 strong that we truly examined them. You had talked about we may open them and blend them with meals. You may truly bake with them. We examined them as much as 455 levels and so they stay utterly secure. So you could possibly bake them and no matter in case you’re making some sort of muffin or brownie or one thing you could possibly do or no matter. As I used to place in my son’s piping scorching oatmeal. And that’s, it’s actually, good for teenagers to have the ability to have that possibility.
I imply, a number of adults don’t even prefer to swallow drugs. After which in fact 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 feel once they style good, folks will take it extra usually. And in order that was extra necessary to us. We waited an extended, very long time to provide a gummy as a result of we have been like, oh, , there’s some elements that aren’t as nice as we’d prefer to be. We prefer to be tremendous, tremendous clear, however we did the least quantity of something and we have been simply in a position to, , 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 with regards to intestine well being that truly I feel ties in and circles again to, again to highschool as effectively, is that research regularly are displaying that a lot of our neurotransmitters are made in our intestine, truly, 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 yr the place there’s extra stress, extra overwhelm, definitely extra working youngsters round, extra scheduling. And it seems that we will truly actually use supporting our intestine to our benefit with regards to stress and psychological well being as effectively. And also you guys have executed some fairly fascinating work round particular strains which might be tied in right here. So I’d love so that you can clarify that as a result of I’ve been utilizing JustCalm loads recently, and it looks like it actually does make a noticeable distinction on stress, however I’d 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 fuel or bloating or diarrhea, constipation, no matter it might be, after which they’ll say to us, oh my gosh, 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 uncomfortable side 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 may return, such as you stated, to a different episode and we may speak about leaky intestine. And we all know that when you have got a leaky intestine, that’s the irritation will begin going to lots of your totally different organs, one in all which is your mind. And that’s a part of what causes the problem. However now we’ve been specializing in the analysis that you just talked about with this pressure known as Bifidobacterium Longum 1714. And this pressure is named a psychobiotic. And a psychobiotic is a probiotic pressure that’s serving to help that gut-brain entry. So we all know now we have this intestine mind entry. It’s the communication superhighway, I prefer to name it, as a result of the intestine is sending alerts to the mind and the mind is sending alerts to the intestine. And we’ve recognized 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 alerts going backwards and forwards 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 truly has been in a position, it’s been proven in research to have folks have a greater notion of stress. So simply that capacity to deal with stress higher truly helps carry us extra into that theta waves like mindset, so we’re extra in that move state. We all know that it’s truly 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 part that we all know that’s very well studied right here is again to the immune system part and that when our intestine well being is compromised, our immune well being is by nature compromised as effectively. And it looks like there’s a really sturdy hyperlink with irritation right here. And it looks like increasingly research simply maintain pointing towards the frequent hyperlink between most continual illnesses truly being rooted in irritation in lots of instances. And so anytime we will profit our intestine well being and provides it the chance to cut back irritation within the physique and to course of that extra successfully, it looks like it is also gonna have a extremely optimistic influence for the intestine.
However are there any particular methods, particularly as we transfer into sort of chilly and flu season that additionally can assist help immune well being particularly from a gut-focused perspective?
Tina: Yeah, so all the conventional issues that I talked about, after which now we have 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 in, that our physique naturally makes immunoglobulin G. And we all know that this IgG product that now we have truly provides 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, , as you get into the autumn and winter months. I personally take all of it yr lengthy as a result of I feel it’s such a fricking phenomenal product. However I additionally, , I perceive that possibly folks would possibly wish to simply take it, , within the fall and winter season, however I’d extremely advocate that.
After which simply is from an immune perspective standpoint is simply what we simply maintain speaking about, like calming ourselves down as a result of it actually does make a distinction on how our intestine is functioning. We’ve received to calm ourselves down and we live on this world that’s so, so, everybody’s stressed. It’s like virtually like, , you get an award for being extra stressed and being busier. And I don’t need, we speak about modeling for our youngsters. We will’t mannequin that to our youngsters. We’ve got received to, , present them that now we have a lot success and happiness after we are simply not stressed on a regular basis and we don’t need to do all the things and be all the things to everybody. So, and I do know it’s exhausting as a mother and a younger mother. And I simply, I want somebody had instructed me that once I youngsters have been little, simply to, , minimize, give your self grace, go sluggish, nothing, all the things doesn’t need to be good and simply, , 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 one in all my daughters, I seen that the mixture of IgG and the probiotic appears to essentially assist. Truly, she had some recurring eczema when she was youthful, and that appeared to assist her physique actually clear that. And she or he 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 form of just like the magic factor that helped her eczema for anyone on the market who may need eczema with their youngsters.
Tina: Yeah, effectively, it’s all concerning the leakiness of the intestine. With the probiotic alone, we all know now we have a double-blind human medical 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 help of that barrier. And simply getting rid, I imply, simply preserving these toxins from seeping into our bloodstream is basically necessary when individuals are coping with autoimmune points, once they’re coping with allergy symptoms. 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 all the things else that you’ve in your plate, however you managed to remain, like I stated, so energetic and in good well being. So on a private degree, I’d love any ideas from you which might be sort of your individual private 80-20, whether or not it’s each day habits, each day dietary supplements, something that you just do as a part of a routine that you just really feel like contributes to that.
Tina: Yeah, so I get up each morning and I do my affirmations. I meditate after which I am 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, , 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 loads. I’m attempting to think about what else I’d, I simply, I take so many, however I’m simply, I’m enormous. I simply consider that our soil is so depleted. It doesn’t have the vitamins that we wish to be taking.
After which in fact I’ve been specializing in intestine well being as a result of all the things else that you just’re attempting to soak up goes to be absorbed that significantly better when your intestine is wholesome. And I feel that’s what now we have to recollect. We’ve got a lot irritation happening in our intestine. And if it’s infected, it’s not absorbing vitamins. So it’s actually necessary that I feel 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 usually are not actually working.
I additionally am an enormous fan of intermittent fasting. I feel that individuals ought to do it in the event that they suppose 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 have been motivated by it to reduce weight. 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 truly 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 ladies and fasting, however I all the time sort 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 executed in some kind and we’re definitely not consuming whereas we’re sleeping. So all of us are literally doing a little type of intermittent fasting anyway. It’s simply experimenting with the timeline of that. And to your level, I feel it is rather particular person and it’s all the time price being your individual main healthcare supplier and doing the experimentation to determine what’s going to be just right for you.
For me, after a number of experimentation, I spotted I really feel nice on a time-restricted schedule, particularly if I shift it earlier within the day. That actually tends to assist with circadian biology. So I attempt to get morning daylight as quickly as potential after waking up. After which I attempt to eat in a extra ahead shifted window within the day. So I’ll eat a extremely nutrient dense breakfast with protein comparatively quickly after waking up. After which I’ll attempt to cease consuming for certain by sundown, however usually 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 feel a number of the preliminary intermittent fasting recommendation was from guys and their biology works slightly totally different. And a number 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 definitely 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 might be one suggestion I’d 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 may need to offer {that a} attempt. However I like to really feel, you’re completely proper although concerning the, , even in case you simply cease consuming earlier and also you go to mattress and you then simply, precisely 12 hours shouldn’t be that troublesome to do and also you’re, , simply begin consuming slightly bit earlier.
Katie: Completely. And that’s like, once more, again to that form of optimistic suggestions loop of stress and sleep and intestine well being and all of those components. The good factor is that if they’re not working for you, they’ll sort of grow to be a damaging suggestions loop. However in case you even make optimistic child steps in any of these, it turns right into a optimistic suggestions loop and so they construct on one another. So then power will get higher. It’s simpler to decide to doing the issues you wish to do. You may make these habits extra constant and you then proceed to construct that power and that motivation. So I really like that we’ve gotten to cowl so most of the facets of that optimistic suggestions loop at this time.
And some questions I additionally like to ask towards the tip of interviews. I do know I’ve requested you these earlier than, however I’m curious in case you have any, whether or not it’s new guide suggestions or current books which have had a optimistic influence 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 usually, however I learn it so usually and I simply gave it to a younger household pal who’s a younger man who’s going off to school and he stated, Mrs. Anderson, oh my God, I simply learn this guide and it actually made such a distinction and , I’m actually having fun with it. And I simply, I’ve to say it once more, as a result of I do suppose 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 one in all his books, he’s received so many nice books, however one of many ones that I can see clearly now’s actually, actually good. And that’s most likely the place I realized essentially the most about forgiveness. And I simply suppose it’s actually nice for anybody that’s possibly scuffling with forgiveness. His, and simply his life story, it’s principally like a life story and the way you could possibly see a lot clearer, , years later and the way it makes such an influence in your life to love, forgive and watch out with the phrases that you just select. And yeah, these are some books that basically 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 all the merchandise you guys carry. And I consider there’s additionally a particular low cost from you guys that can be within the present notes as effectively. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners at this time that might 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, what I’d say, simply because we have been speaking about youngsters, I feel, simply spend time together with your youngsters. I feel that’s most likely one of many largest issues that has impacted my relationship and my husband’s relationship with our youngsters is simply the truth that we’re spending a number of time, we’ve, we spent a number of time with them and it’s these little, these moments of windshield time, which we, a pal of ours coined so eloquently, , simply you’re pondering like, oh, in case you’re driving them right here and there, you’re not likely spending, it’s not high quality time. Imagine me, that’s generally essentially the most high quality time you get is driving them backwards and forwards to actions. They begin to discuss extra. So simply take pleasure in these instances with them and be pleased about them as a result of they go by so quick. As , how unhappy I’ve been that my youngsters have gotten older.
Katie: It does go by so quick. I feel my oldest one, turning 16, was a giant, like a sort of lightning bolt second for me of realizing simply how little time I’d have left with him nonetheless at house. And so, yeah, I really like that recommendation. I feel that’s an ideal place to wrap up for at this time. And Tina, it’s all the time such a pleasure to speak to you. I’m so glad that we received to catch up and that we received to file it at this time. Thanks a lot to your time.
