Katie: Hiya and welcome to the Wellness Mama podcast. I’m Katie from wellnessmama.com. And this episode is with considered one of my expensive private buddies and it’s all about back-to-school well being routines and stress administration for the entire household. And I’m right here with Tina Anderson, who you 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 really 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 children, she realized that was actually excessive stress for her household. And so she was ready to make use of her authorized expertise to level her profession in a path because the in-house counsel for a household firm in prescription drugs. However what she noticed there made her change path once more, as a result of she was pissed off by most of the abuses she noticed within the pharmaceutical trade. And she or he turned towards the sphere of pure well being and located her life’s work and function.
And she or he started to analysis all she might about illness prevention and good well being upkeep and obtained deeply into intestine well being and the way linked the intestine is for total well being. And so to share all of this data with the world, she and her husband created a complement firm largely primarily based round probiotics. And so they now have an entire line of actually impactful dietary supplements that my household takes.
However on this episode, we go deep on the subject of preparing for again to highschool. We speak about parenting, mindset, together with a unbelievable technique that her dad used that helped form her optimistic mindset. We speak about her life mantra that I realized from her. After which we go deep on key elements for good intestine well being, the largest myths about probiotics, what to know when on the lookout for a probiotic, how 90% of serotonin is produced within the intestine, what psychobiotics are, and a lot extra. It’s at all times a pleasure to speak to Tina. So let’s be a part of her now. Tina, welcome again.
Tina: Thanks, Katie. I’m so excited to be right here with you.
Katie: It’s at all times a pleasure to speak to you. We’re very a lot actual life buddies and I additionally think about you want one of many folks I am going to for recommendation. You’ve obtained children who at the moment are grown and who you could have superior relationships with. And I really like having you as a sounding board and a pal. And I’m glad that as we speak 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 properly. So I’m very grateful that you just’re right here.
And for this episode, we needed to give attention to the theme of again to highschool. I do know I’m gearing up for that with my children proper now. Quite a lot of different households most likely are as properly. And you’ve got at the least greater than 18 years of expertise of this together with your children and their varied completely different ages. So I really feel like it is a matter that could possibly be an entire sequence of episodes each on the bodily well being facet, the psychological well being facet, the stress reduction facet, the group, the getting again in a routine. There’s so many issues we might cowl. However to start out broad, I’d love to listen to for those who guys had any type of traditions, routines or something in your loved ones across the again to highschool time.
Tina: Yeah, you already know, I believe what I simply have such fond reminiscences of is simply the entire going again to highschool purchasing. , they liked getting their college provides once they had been little and, you already know, we’d at all times exit for ice cream afterwards and simply type of make it type of enjoyable, a bit of custom. And so, after which we might do, you already know, the opposite enjoyable half was like discovering on the market’s a instructor, you already know, once they return to highschool they usually discover out their instructor and it could, it could, we’d all go collectively and it could be this unveiling. And it was simply, it was enjoyable. There was stress concerned in it as a result of we’re like, oh, what in the event that they don’t get a pal that they need of their class and all that. Nevertheless it was, it was at all times, we at all times tried to make it actually enjoyable.
Katie: I really like that. I believe my expertise is a bit of completely different with homeschooling, though we do nonetheless the college purchasing half. However for us, it’s like gearing up for the sports activities they usually nonetheless have very lively social lives, however normally 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 children, that again to highschool section and reintroducing with a much bigger group of individuals tends to even be typically a bit of little bit of an immune system problem. Plus we now have all through, as we undergo the autumn, the climate cools down, we’re getting much less vibrant gentle and daylight, extra indoors, extra all this stuff that may type of construct as much as type of take a success on our immune system.
And so one factor I take into consideration loads this time of 12 months is we’re shifting into that’s what are among 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 could have any methods for that, for preserving our immune system sturdy, for preserving from getting sick as a lot as doable as we return into the college, the college type of routine?
Tina: Nicely, I believe you hit the nail on the pinnacle with not being exterior as a lot and never seeing the brightness and the sunshine. I believe we now have to be extra prescriptive about being exterior within the solar and getting an honest quantity of sunshine throughout the day, even within the winter months and the autumn months, such as you talked about. I believe we’re, and these children are simply sitting down all day. In the summertime, they’re working round, enjoying, shifting their our bodies far more than they’re throughout the college 12 months. And I believe simply attempting to get them to be shifting extra. And I believe as mother and father, we simply, I imply, the errors I made, I believe was with my oldest, particularly, I’d be like, oh, we obtained to get good grades and we have to give attention to this.
And, you already know, now, my God, now I see a lot extra clearly and notice that there have been so many, there have been so many different vital issues to be specializing in, like getting the daylight and getting, and never being so careworn, placing a lot strain on our children with grades and, and the way you, you already know, what you probably did on this report and simply focusing extra on well being and wellness. And I believe I did that extra with my youngest. I used to be rather more in keeping with attempting to get him exterior extra and being out in nature. So I believe that will be one space to start out together with your immune system, simply attempting to get some extra exterior sunshine and be extra lively as a result of we simply grow to be so sedentary after we had been again to highschool.
Katie: That’s so true. And also you’re undoubtedly considered one of my inspirations on this as a result of I’ve gotten to journey with you just a few occasions and seen your routine. And also you’re so good about getting morning daylight, which I do know I’ve talked about on right here so many occasions and the way vital that’s for our circadian well being. And likewise you’re like such an inspiration in going for walks exterior. I do know we’ve had conversations the place we went for a stroll, even in some type of attention-grabbing areas like downtown New Orleans at completely different occasions.
However I really feel like that is perhaps considered one of many causes that you’re such a ball of power is that you just make time, intentional time for motion and time exterior, which it’s humorous that we’d like science to remind us of this, however the research simply preserve type of displaying up about why these issues are so vital. And I really feel such as you’re such instance of that.
Tina: Yeah, properly, thanks. I liked it. And I’d stroll my children to highschool. I used to be in a neighborhood that allowed us to do this. And I believe that for those who can stroll your children to highschool and you’ve got the flexibleness to do it, I used to be lucky. I labored from dwelling. I used to be capable of stroll them to highschool, however simply getting them began out, strolling is so vital. I believe, after which simply, after which, you already know, even in highschool, you already know, numerous children are driving going again to highschool and it’s, and I simply assume attempting to get them to only be lively and transfer extra and simply empowering them with that. I believe that’s the opposite factor as mother and father.
I’ve realized is which you can’t simply inform them one thing, you already know, you could 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 quickly once you inform them, however when, you already know, they’re empowered by the data and understanding of what’s occurring within the analysis, they’re going to start out making higher adjustments.
Katie: I agree. And that’s a recurring theme, I believe, when anytime we speak about parenting on this Podcast can also be, to your level, the significance of modeling. And I believe 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 vital they usually’ll typically pay attention, 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 believe 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 learn them probably the most. That is most likely why we see that statistic {that a} mother’s train and health stage really has a dramatic affect on her children. It’s as a result of I consider that modeling and them seeing it, which by us doing it, it really provides them permission to prioritize it as properly. And so I really feel like that is considered one of my core type of parenting rules is perhaps converse much less and mannequin extra.
Tina: Sure, yeah, I really like that. I completely agree with you.
Katie: What about any suggestions for, so my oldest are simply now within the teenage years, any suggestions for preserving good traces of communication and good relationship together with your children as they undergo the teenage years and into maturity? As a result of I do know from interacting with your loved ones, you could have an superior relationship with all your children and a really shut, each rapid and prolonged household. And I believe that’s so lovely. So any suggestions for nurturing that?
Tina: Yeah, thanks. I imply, it’s what I’m most pleased with in my life is my household that we constructed and the connection that I’ve with my children. And you already know, it’s so humorous, so many individuals have requested me this. And I believe one of many issues I keep in mind when my children had been in highschool and you already know, perhaps they weren’t partaking within the actions that different folks had been so far as, you already know, perhaps the behaviors they weren’t purported to be doing. My children had been like, oh, I don’t wish to do this.
And, and folks would say like, how did you could have your children not do this at that age? And I’m like, I don’t, I don’t actually know aside from I simply made dwelling a really protected place. Not, not simply protected. All of us wish to make our dwelling protected, however extra like snug 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 dwelling with us.
And I by no means, like I’d by no means be like, oh, what are your mates doing? , why aren’t you going out? And properly, can’t you discover any plans? Or I’d at all times simply make it like, oh, what do you, what are we going to do Friday night time? What would you like for dinner with, you already know, dad and I? And so I’d, it was extra about, you already know, making it regular that they had been dwelling 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 you already know, all of them undergo phases the place buddies perhaps begin to change and teams begin to change. And I simply assume it’s vital that we make it regular that hang around with us. And for us, I imply, that’s simply the way in which we love hanging out with one another. And I believe that was actually vital. And never being so strict. I believe the much less strict we’re, and I imply, children want boundaries. I’m an enormous proponent of that. I believe children, particularly in youngsters, undoubtedly want boundaries, however simply, you already know, not being so judgmental about perhaps they made a mistake they usually made a selection that they shouldn’t have made, however not judging them on a regular basis and making them really feel dangerous about issues. I believe that has actually helped us be very open about issues.
Katie: That’s such an important level, particularly in these situations the place they make a mistake as a result of they’re most likely going to study sufficient from that lesson from having made the error and doubtless be more durable on themselves than we could possibly be. And so I really feel like if we will allow them to preserve the possession of that, not take it away from them by judging them externally and never having to have them justify it and defend, which I believe then places extra power into the motion itself. I really like that strategy.
And I believe additionally you touched on one thing priceless, 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 return from inside them. And so if we will view it as how can we help them in these classes and be the protected place they will study these classes with out judgment, I believe that actually helps that relationship. And I additionally love, it looks like you do that so properly in your house, of being the place the place not simply your children, however anyone can go and it’s a spot of unconditional love. And that was what I at all times actually needed to goal for. And it appears to be enjoying out with my youngsters is I needed to be the place the place they at all times felt snug having their buddies, the place all people was at all times welcome. I’ll feed anyone’s child who’s in my home and hopefully they at all times really feel that there’s unconditional love there. I believe that’s like an intangible that we will’t put a value on, however one which like hopefully actually helps that relationship for our entire lives with our children.
Tina: Yeah, and I imply, you’re a full mannequin of that. I imply, I keep in mind being over and having all these children round and simply everybody having a lot enjoyable and being lively. And it’s actually vital to have your private home be that manner for everybody. I additionally assume like to the touch upon grades, I believe that’s one of many largest classes as a mother or father I realized. I imply, I used to be so completely different parenting my oldest than my youngest. And I believe we now have to only give attention to studying. I’m certain you speak about this on a regular basis, Katie, I do know you do, nevertheless it’s like, you already know, the grade is just not, I simply really feel prefer it’s virtually irrelevant.
, I imply, what I give attention to, particularly my youngest is in school now, I’m like, simply give attention to studying. I simply need you to study. The grade, your GPA means nothing to me. It means it ought to imply nothing to you. It’s like, and you already know, usually once you’re studying and also you’re actually specializing in studying, no matter it’s, the grades fall into place. However I believe we simply get so caught up, particularly in highschool with, you already know, learning for, attempting to get into faculties and the entire social patterns that we’re purported to comply with. I simply would warning all people to only have your give attention to studying. Attempt to get your baby to like to study no matter matter it’s and in no matter method it’s. It doesn’t should be within the classroom. It could possibly be Ted Talks, it could possibly be no matter it’s.
Katie: Completely. That’s a ability that can serve you your entire life and that hopefully all of us as adults are nonetheless doing on daily basis in some type. However you’re proper. I believe I didn’t study that lesson till maturity. I very a lot was so frightened about grades in highschool and I believe I connected components of my identification to how properly I did in class. And it was an important factor to love un-pattern and like go off later in life. Nevertheless it’s one thing I’ve been conscious of with my children of attempting to by no means assist or not like type of facilitate a mindset the place they really feel like their value is connected to their efficiency in any space, whether or not it’s sports activities, whether or not it’s college, however to give attention to the core rules of curiosity and studying and connecting the dots and having enjoyable and overcoming challenges as a result of these are the abilities which can be going to truly translate into grownup life and no matter they find yourself selecting, which could not be one thing within the tutorial discipline, however these are the extra like mushy expertise which can be going to serve them in any side of life.
And I believe that’s an ideal springboard additionally into the mindset dialog, which is one other space the place you’re undoubtedly a supply of inspiration for me. And I do know folks have heard me say down right here, the road I obtained from you, which is that all the pieces will work out completely for me. And you’re such a supply of positivity and also you deliver 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 a bit of bit in our different podcasts, however what had been a few of your huge type of sources of inspiration or studying in mindset and in crafting that mindset?
Tina: Yeah, properly, thanks, Katie. That’s fairly a praise coming from you. So, yeah, mindset is a large a part of my life. My father really used to wake me up within the morning and inform me I’m getting higher and higher on daily basis in each manner. And it was, it was, and I believed, you already know, 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 already know, 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, you already know, 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. , don’t ever name your self loopy. Like don’t say that even when it’s simply in a joking manner. Simply taught me the ability of phrases and the power that you just deliver to any scenario. He used to again within the day, my God, you already know, I imply, it was a very long time in the past. He needed to have books on tape earlier than books on tape had been a factor. So he would have me dictate Wayne Dyer’s e book 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 believe 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, you already know, we actually, we have to do our life’s work. We have to, we might create our future by the, the, the way in which we reside our life. I believe forgiveness is a large 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 believe they’ve had life altering outcomes about. I’m not a coach or something like that. I simply, it’s only a private ardour of mine.
And I really like, yeah, I simply assume our phrases are actually vital and our power that we deliver to any scenario is absolutely vital. And, and as you already know, my well-known mantra that I at all times say is all the pieces works out completely for me. And I believe what’s vital about that, folks assume that’s such a daring assertion to say, however all the pieces works out completely for me simply implies that it’s understanding completely for me on this scenario. And it’s not the way in which I essentially needed it to work out, however I do know that it’s understanding completely for me. And I’ve to belief that I’ve to belief that, you already know, the universe is offering for me or God is offering for me.
Katie: Yeah, I’ve that assertion on my wall really in my bed room now too. And it’s actually really helped me undertake a few of that mindset as properly. And to your level, it’s not that all the pieces works out how I need it to work out, however numerous us can most likely look in hindsight at even issues we thought had been very tough throughout no matter level we had been going by means of them and that we might haven’t essentially chosen. However then years later, see how that actually shifted the course of our life or offered a lesson that was actually mandatory for one thing in a while and see that it actually did work out completely, simply not how we thought completely was going to look.
And now wanting again, I may even have a look at the toughest moments of my life and have like deep overwhelming gratitude for them. Despite the fact that I wouldn’t have chosen them, I can see now I wouldn’t have gotten to go on a few of these journeys I’ve been on had I not had these experiences. And in order that’s one thing I preserve prime of thoughts with my children too, is to hopefully assist them have the body of reference to be current in no matter view it as 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 perhaps is tough or onerous.
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 at all times stayed with me as a result of I believe typically we expect, oh, I can forgive them in the event that they do that, or if solely they might apologize, if solely they might make it proper. And I believe these are two separate issues. Forgiveness is an inner course of that we get to have full freedom over after we select. Making amends is an entire separate factor and that does contain the opposite particular person. However I believe if we will separate the forgiveness piece and notice that we at all times have the power 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 wonderful. What occurs is that it opens up their lives. , I’ve one specific pal who had a problem along with his father and hastily he began forgiving his father and all of those different issues. His profession began taking off. Like his relationships had been even higher than they had been earlier than. So I imply, it’s wonderful what occurs once you forgive and it’s so onerous. And it’s not like I’m saying, oh, forgive someday, you forgive. It’s a course of. However for those who simply see that it opens up a lot in your personal life and as dangerous as somebody has handled you, as horrible as one thing that somebody has accomplished to you, for those who might get to a degree of forgiveness, you’ll actually begin seeing nice issues occur in your life.
Katie: Yeah, and folks have most likely heard me speak about this earlier than as properly, however for years I used to be doing all of the bodily well being stuff that I knew methods to do and dealing with all of the docs and had spreadsheets for all the pieces, attempting to repair all my bodily well being issues. And it wasn’t till I additionally addressed that internal emotional facet and altered my mindset that each one the bodily stuff began working. And it actually highlighted for me how not solely are the thoughts and physique linked and you’ll’t view both one in isolation, but in addition how highly effective the internal work is for even shifting our bodily well being.
And I believe we perhaps can all consider examples of somebody who simply continues to have well being issues perhaps, however they’ve a mindset that’s type of like manifesting of their bodily well being or folks such as you who’ve this all the pieces works out completely for me mindset and who like appear to be thriving and countless power. And I believe that not at all times is {that a} trigger and impact relationship, definitely by any means, however that these are actually priceless elements to recollect it’s each/and, not both or relating to this stuff.
Tina: Nicely, completely. And I, you already know, I’m clearly interviewed on fairly just a few podcasts about intestine well being, and I’m at all times speaking about the truth that we have to meditate, we have to do deep respiration or acupuncture, therapeutic massage, no matter it’s that calms you down. We have to be doing this stuff to be taking good care of our intestine well being. After which the reverse is true. , you could be taking good care of your intestine well being to ship indicators again to the mind. And, you already know, it’s like we now have to do not forget that what’s occurring mentally is affecting us bodily and vice versa. What’s occurring bodily will probably 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 vital. And I really like this level as properly. 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 properly. However the internal discuss particularly that I had in the direction of myself had a direct affect on my mindset and on my bodily well being as properly. And also you talked about one saying that your dad would use with you. I’m curious when you’ve got every other suggestions for type of nurturing a optimistic mindset towards oneself, as a result of it looks like for many individuals that’s really probably the most tough to beat. Like we will be sort and the way we converse to our children and our companions and our buddies, however typically studying to talk kindly to ourselves will be the largest impediment.
Tina: Isn’t that the reality? I imply, and I work at this on daily basis and I believe it’s nonetheless onerous for me, you already know, I believe one of many issues that has helped me is simply doing every day morning affirmations. So I’ve my affirmations and it simply units the day trip to start out out on notice and saying phrases which can be affirming the way in which that you just wish to reside your day and your life.
So I believe optimistic affirmations and the opposite factor is like I’ll discover myself beating myself up as a result of I stated one thing like, oh, you already know, God, these pants are tight on me. After which I’m like, why am I consuming like a pig? Or, you already know, I say one thing like, I’m like, oh my God, Tina, you already know higher than to speak like that to your self. And and I’m like, OK, now I can’t beat myself up about it both. So I believe like acknowledge that you 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? , would I say that to my mother? Would I say that to a pal? And no, I imply, if I’m not going to say it to them, like, by how can I say it to myself? And we now have to remind ourselves of that.
However I believe saying the morning affirmations is so highly effective to start out your day trip. Simply consider one thing like I’m excellent 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 believe it’s simply vital 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 obtained 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 big key, even relating to bodily well being, and that always it’s ignored or typically it feels insurmountable. And I believe any, even small child steps make an enormous distinction in that space. And so I really like that we obtained 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 believe that is additionally crucial at the moment of 12 months specifically, not simply because typically when folks return to highschool, their meals can change a bit of bit as a result of numerous occasions you’re consuming at college now or packing lunches, but in addition as a result of like we talked about, gentle’s altering, your immune system is altering and its inputs at that time, perhaps sleep is altering since you’ve obtained children have extra homework they usually’re up later. There’s a lot occurring there.
And it looks like we’ve heard sufficient a lot from all these research about intestine well being being completely linked to all elements of well being, that something we will do this helps our intestine well being really has optimistic ripple results into all areas of well being, from sleep to emphasize to after all, digestion to pores and skin and on and on and on. So I do know that this is sort of a life’s work and a ardour for you and that you’ve got put in numerous 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 among the core rules of excellent intestine well being, whether or not it’s issues which can be higher to keep away from, issues which can be nice to eat, whether or not it’s stress elements, what are the massive needle movers relating to intestine well being?
Tina: Nicely, to start with, 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 total well being. And naturally, 80% of our immune system is present in our intestine. So we’re attempting so onerous to love ramp up our children and ourselves, our immune system as we head into fall and winter. And we now have to recollect, we’ve obtained to give attention to our intestine well being as a result of it’s actually dictating each side, nearly each side of our total well being and primarily our immune system. So you’re completely proper to say that.
So among the issues I believe to keep away from, you already know, sadly, the world we reside in is so detrimental to our intestine micro organism. , our intestine is comprised of all these helpful microorganisms, primarily micro organism. And we all know that we live on this world that’s so offensive to our intestine well being. So one of many largest issues is antibiotics. So we all know now to keep away from antibiotics and as a lot as doable, however they’re present in animal merchandise, they’re present in our meals provide. So we now have to attempt to be very conscious of the meals that we’re consuming that should not 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. Quite a lot of family and private care merchandise are very detrimental. Quite a lot of shampoos, toothpaste, which is why I’d clearly advocate all people take, you already know, use Wellnesse as a result of I imply, to start with, it’s so good for our hair anyway. I really like the way in which it makes my hair really feel. My dad now loves it. It’s so humorous. So I undoubtedly assume we now have to be conscious of our private care merchandise, too, as a result of they’re simply loaded with all of those toxins.
So there’s chemical compounds and toxins throughout our, you already know, the world that we’re residing in. And so we actually have to be specializing in taking good care of our intestine well being. Sadly, the soil that we’re consuming off of doesn’t have numerous the microbes that we actually had been used to getting our ancestors used to get. So we, you already know, 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 believe the massive mistake is made, is folks assume fermented meals is a substitute for a probiotic. It has tons of vitamins. It’s very supportive of your intestine well being, nevertheless it’s not a substitute for a probiotic. It doesn’t as a result of the massive… you already know, side of probiotics, after all, is survivability. And the spore-based probiotic strains that we work with really, we all know survive and get to the intestines alive.
So I’d actually give attention to avoiding, like antibiotics, avoiding Glyphosate, which is the lively ingredient in Roundup, and give attention to consuming natural meals, definitely consuming fermented meals, after which taking a high-quality probiotic can be, you already know, actually supportive of your intestine well being, and doing issues like meditation, strolling in nature, being exterior, getting within the daylight. All these issues are actually vital for our intestine well being.
Katie: And we did an entire episode about this, so I’ll hyperlink to it within the present notes. Folks can go actually deep. But in addition I really feel like there’s numerous myths surrounding probiotics. So I really like that you just touched on that fermented meals and probiotics, each vital however separate, they don’t exchange one another. We want the fiber and the enzymes and all the pieces 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 properly and discuss concerning the distinction between spore primarily based probiotics and different probiotics. As a result of this was new data to me after I first met you.
Tina: Yeah, so the largest delusion is the refrigeration delusion. , so many, even docs will say, oh, in an effort to be probiotic, it must be refrigerated. And the rationale why they stated that was as a result of, you already know, you want a reside microorganism in an effort 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, properly, in an effort to be alive, it must be within the fridge. However when you consider it, if a probiotic pressure must be alive, to, they will’t even stand up to the room temperature of the shop shelf. It must be within the fridge to remain alive. What on the earth will occur when it goes into your physique, which is 98.6, a lot hotter than the room temperature of the shop shelf? And the reply is that they’re gonna die.
And let’s say the temperature doesn’t even kill them. By the point they get to the abdomen, which may be very acidic and meant to be the gastric barrier, the vast majority of strains available on the market are simply killed off by that temperature, the physique temperature, in addition to the acid within the abdomen. So this concept of a probiotic needing to be refrigerated in an effort 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 really dormant. They’re not reside, like within the bottle, they’re not alive. They’re really dormant. After which once they get to the intestines, so 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 we now have to recollect, a probiotic doesn’t have to be alive within the fridge. A probiotic must be alive in your intestines. And that’s one of many largest myths. So we actually wanna make it possible for the probiotic is alive within the intestines.
After which I believe one of many different huge myths out there’s that you just want a excessive depend, a excessive CFU depend. So CFU is Colony Forming Items. You’ll see that on the entrance of the bottle. It’ll say 50 billion CFUs, 250 billion CFUs. Now you see one thing with 500 billion CFUs. And there’s really no research. There aren’t any research behind displaying extra is best. Actually, there’s research displaying now that like typically when you could have a number of completely different strains and plenty of completely different excessive variety of CFU really might trigger some points and we might go into that later.
However the vital factor to know is of these three billion or nevertheless many billion CFUs you could have at a product, what sort of change are they making within the intestine? And one of many first research we did was one thing referred to as a intestine mannequin research. And we solely have three billion CFUs in our product. And we noticed a 30% favorable shift within the intestine after solely two and a half weeks. And that is profound to see that 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 liked about this after I realized that was that it meant that now I might get probiotics to my children rather more simply as a result of the refrigerated ones wanted to be taken in these very particular situations and also you needed the youngsters to swallow them and numerous my youthful ones on the time couldn’t swallow capsules.
However after I realized concerning the spore-based ones and the way they may survive by means of the intestine and survive at warmth, I noticed I might combine these into meals, into smoothies, and it was a lot, a lot simpler to get them for my children than in the event that they needed to swallow a capsule solely. And so I really like that.
And I believe you guys have made this even simpler now as a result of the gummies simply obtained to my home not too long ago and my little ones are virtually addicted to those. However I’d guess it’s an analogous idea as a result of they’re steady and may survive all the way in which to the small gut. It’s effective to chew them. It’s effective for them to be in a gummy they usually nonetheless get digested and assimilated the identical manner.
Tina: Yep, precisely. Precisely. It’s actually, that’s what’s so nice about these spores is that they’re so strong that we really examined them. You had talked about we might open them and blend them with meals. You would really bake with them. We examined them as much as 455 levels they usually stay utterly steady. So you would bake them and no matter for those who’re making some sort of muffin or brownie or one thing you would do or no matter. As I used to place in my son’s piping scorching oatmeal. And that’s, it’s actually, good for youths to have the ability to have that choice.
I imply, numerous adults don’t even wish to swallow capsules. After which after all the gummy is simply, oh my God, that’s been actually thrilling as a result of they style so good. I imply, they style actually good. In order that’s been actually vital. And that’s vital to us simply to have the compliance so far as folks taking it. And I believe once they style good, folks will take it extra typically. And in order that was extra vital to us. We waited an extended, very long time to supply a gummy as a result of we had been like, oh, you already know, there’s some components that aren’t as nice as we’d wish to be. We wish to be tremendous, tremendous clear, however we did the least quantity of something and we had been simply capable of, you already know, we would like compliance. It’s actually vital 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 relating to intestine well being that really I believe ties in and circles again to, again to highschool as properly, is that research regularly are displaying that a lot of our neurotransmitters are made in our intestine, really, and the intestine’s known as the second mind, and there’s so many connections there.
And I do know for lots of mothers particularly, it is a time of 12 months the place there’s extra stress, extra overwhelm, definitely extra working children round, extra scheduling. And it seems that we will really actually use supporting our intestine to our benefit relating to stress and psychological well being as properly. And also you guys have accomplished some fairly fascinating work round particular strains which can 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 vital 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 perhaps 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, you already know 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. , within the pharmaceutical trade, it’s like, Unwanted effects embody suicidal ideas, demise, all these horrible issues. And it’s like right here unwanted 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 would return, such as you stated, to a different episode and we might speak about leaky intestine. And we all know that when you could have a leaky intestine, that’s the irritation will begin going to a lot of your completely different organs, considered one of which is your mind. And that’s a part of what causes the difficulty. However now we’ve been specializing in the analysis that you just talked about with this pressure referred to as Bifidobacterium Longum 1714. And this pressure is known as a psychobiotic. And a psychobiotic is a probiotic pressure that’s serving to help that gut-brain entry. So we all know we now have this intestine mind entry. It’s the communication superhighway, I wish to name it, as a result of the intestine is sending indicators to the mind and the mind is sending indicators to the intestine. And we’ve identified this for a very long time.
We all know after we’re enthusiastic about one thing, we get butterflies in our abdomen. We all know after we’re nervous, we begin to go to the lavatory. These are all connections, these are all indicators going forwards and backwards from the intestine to the mind, the mind to the intestine.
And so we all know that this Bifidobacterium Longum 1714 Pressure that’s present in our JustCalm product really has been ready, it’s been proven in research to have folks have a greater notion of stress. So simply that skill to deal with stress higher really helps deliver us extra into that theta waves like mindset, so we’re extra in that stream state. We all know that it’s really serving to with cognitive operate and talent to focus higher. So it was some actually compelling research on the 1714 pressure.
Katie: That’s so fascinating. And naturally, the opposite element that we all know that’s rather well studied right here is again to the immune system element and that when our intestine well being is compromised, our immune well being is by nature compromised as properly. And it looks like there’s a really sturdy hyperlink with irritation right here. And it looks like increasingly research simply preserve pointing towards the widespread hyperlink between most continual illnesses really being rooted in irritation in lots of instances. And so anytime we will profit our intestine well being and provides it the chance to scale back irritation within the physique and to course of that extra successfully, it looks like it is also gonna have a extremely optimistic affect for the intestine.
However are there any particular methods, particularly as we transfer into type of chilly and flu season that additionally may help help immune well being particularly from a gut-focused perspective?
Tina: Yeah, so all the conventional issues that I talked about, after which we now 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 mainly 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 we now have really provides us 25% extra of the IgG in our intestine, which is so vital as a result of 90% of our immune system is present in our intestine. In order that’s one other technique that we like to make use of, particularly, you already know, as you get into the autumn and winter months. I personally take all of it 12 months lengthy as a result of I believe it’s such a fricking phenomenal product. However I additionally, you already know, I perceive that perhaps folks may wish to simply take it, you already know, 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 preserve speaking about, like calming ourselves down as a result of it actually does make a distinction on how our intestine is functioning. We’ve obtained to calm ourselves down and we live on this world that’s so, so, everybody’s wired. It’s like virtually like, you already know, you get an award for being extra wired and being busier. And I don’t need, we speak about modeling for our children. We will’t mannequin that to our children. We have now obtained to, you already know, present them that we now have a lot success and happiness after we are simply not wired on a regular basis and we don’t should do all the pieces and be all the pieces to everybody. So, and I do know it’s onerous as a mother and a younger mother. And I simply, I want somebody had informed me that after I children had been little, simply to, you already know, lower, give your self grace, go gradual, nothing, all the pieces doesn’t should be excellent and simply, you already know, focus in your, your psychological well being too.
Katie: Yeah, completely. That’s so vital. And that is purely anecdotal, so not medical recommendation. However with considered one of my daughters, I seen that the mixture of IgG and the probiotic appears to essentially assist. Really, 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 type of just like the magic factor that helped her eczema for anyone on the market who may need eczema with their children.
Tina: Yeah, properly, it’s all concerning the leakiness of the intestine. With the probiotic alone, we all know we now have a double-blind human scientific trial on leaky intestine that’s been actually supportive of the intestine well being, that we all know that’s supporting the intestine, the barrier and the intestinal barrier. And now we all know that the IgG product is additional help of that barrier. And simply getting rid, I imply, simply preserving these toxins from seeping into our bloodstream is absolutely vital when individuals are coping with autoimmune points, once they’re coping with allergic reactions. We have to seal up that intestinal barrier. I can’t overstate that sufficient. And people two merchandise are simply such, such big instruments in your toolbox.
Katie: And I do know as somebody who’s a busy enterprise proprietor and a mother and all the pieces else that you’ve got in your plate, however you managed to remain, like I stated, so energetic and in good well being. So on a private stage, I’d love any suggestions from you which can be type of your personal private 80-20, whether or not it’s every day habits, every 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, you already know, stroll and simply get exterior 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 primarily based in science. That’s been crucial 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 big. I simply consider that our soil is so depleted. It doesn’t have the vitamins that we wish to be taking.
After which after all I’ve been specializing in intestine well being as a result of all the pieces else that you just’re attempting to soak up goes to be absorbed that a lot better when your intestine is wholesome. And I believe that’s what we now have to recollect. We have now a lot irritation occurring in our intestine. And if it’s infected, it’s not absorbing vitamins. So it’s actually vital that I believe folks begin with their intestine well being after which in any other case all these different dietary supplements and all these different wholesome meals that we’re consuming usually are not actually working.
I additionally am an enormous fan of intermittent fasting. I believe that folks ought to do it in the event that they assume it really works for them. However for me, it really works nice. I did it, I used to be motivated. I do know so many individuals had been motivated by it to drop extra pounds. I used to be motivated by it due to the analysis, the way it helped the analysis in intestine well being. It’s very supportive of your intestine well being. We all know that sure micro organism really proliferate in a starved state. So I’ll do intermittent fasting and I normally 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 at all times type of put intermittent fasting or time-restricted consuming in a separate class as a result of that is traditionally one thing we’ve at all times accomplished in some type 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 believe it is vitally particular person and it’s at all times value being your personal major healthcare supplier and doing the experimentation to determine what’s going to be just right for you.
For me, after numerous experimentation, I noticed I really feel nice on a time-restricted schedule, particularly if I shift it earlier within the day. That basically tends to assist with circadian biology. So I attempt to get morning daylight as quickly as doable after waking up. After which I attempt to eat in a extra ahead shifted window within the day. So I’ll eat a extremely nutrient dense breakfast with protein comparatively quickly after waking up. After which I’ll attempt to cease consuming for certain by sundown, however typically by like 5 PM. And I’ve seen that my sleep improves after I shift that consuming window earlier.
And I solely say that as a result of I believe numerous the preliminary intermittent fasting recommendation was from guys and their biology works a bit of completely different. And numerous 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 will 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 manner. So I may need to provide {that a} attempt. However I like to really feel, you’re completely proper although concerning the, you already know, even for those who simply cease consuming earlier and also you go to mattress and then you definately simply, precisely 12 hours is just not that tough to do and also you’re, you already know, simply begin consuming a bit of bit earlier.
Katie: Completely. And that’s like, once more, again to that type of optimistic suggestions loop of stress and sleep and intestine well being and all of those elements. The good factor is that if they’re not working for you, they will type of grow to be a damaging suggestions loop. However for those who even make optimistic child steps in any of these, it turns right into a optimistic suggestions loop they usually construct on one another. So then power will get higher. It’s simpler to decide to doing the issues you already know you wish to do. You may make these habits extra constant and then you definately proceed to construct that power and that motivation. So I really like that we’ve gotten to cowl so most of the elements of that optimistic suggestions loop as we speak.
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 when you’ve got any, whether or not it’s new e book suggestions or latest books which have had a optimistic affect on you and if that’s the case, what they’re and why.
Tina: Yeah, it’s humorous as a result of I at all times return to the 4 Agreements as a result of I do know it’s been used so typically, however I learn it so typically and I simply gave it to a younger household pal who’s a younger man who’s going off to varsity and he stated, Mrs. Anderson, oh my God, I simply learn this e book and it actually made such a distinction and you already know, I’m actually having fun with it. And I simply, I’ve to say it once more, as a result of I do assume it’s value rereading if folks haven’t learn it as a result of it actually has made a giant distinction in my life.
And I talked about Wayne Dyer and considered one of his books, he’s obtained so many nice books, however one of many ones that I can see clearly now could be actually, actually good. And that’s most likely the place I realized probably the most about forgiveness. And I simply assume it’s actually nice for anybody that’s perhaps combating forgiveness. His, and simply his life story, it’s mainly like a life story and the way you would see a lot clearer, you already know, years later and the way it makes such an affect in your life to love, forgive and watch out with the phrases that you just select. And yeah, these are some books that actually have been impactful to me and I reread them on a regular basis.
Katie: I’ll embody hyperlinks to these within the present notes for you guys listening on the go. All of that’s at all times at wellnessmama.fm together with hyperlinks to the entire merchandise you guys carry. And I consider there’s additionally a particular low cost from you guys that will probably be within the present notes as properly. And lastly, any parting recommendation for the listeners as we speak that could possibly be associated to motherhood or intestine well being or mindset or any of the issues we’ve talked about or totally unrelated life recommendation.
Tina: Yeah, you already know what I’d say, simply because we had been speaking about children, I believe, simply spend time together with your children. I believe that’s most likely one of many largest issues that has impacted my relationship and my husband’s relationship with our children is simply the truth that we’re spending numerous time, we’ve, we spent numerous time with them and it’s these little, these moments of windshield time, which we, a pal of ours coined so eloquently, you already know, simply you’re pondering like, oh, for those who’re driving them right here and there, you’re probably not spending, it’s not high quality time. Consider me, that’s typically probably the most high quality time you get is driving them forwards and backwards to actions. They begin to discuss extra. So simply get pleasure from these occasions with them and be glad about them as a result of they go by so quick. As you already know, how unhappy I’ve been that my children have gotten older.
Katie: It does go by so quick. I believe my oldest one, turning 16, was a giant, like a type of lightning bolt second for me of realizing simply how little time I’d have left with him nonetheless at dwelling. And so, yeah, I really like that recommendation. I believe that’s an ideal place to wrap up for as we speak. And Tina, it’s at all times such a pleasure to speak to you. I’m so glad that we obtained to catch up and that we obtained to file it as we speak. Thanks a lot to your time.
