WEBVTT

00:00:00.059 --> 00:00:11.400
Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity and a number of other different diseases are what's called modifiable diseases because obesity now is a disease that you can change.

00:00:12.130 --> 00:00:17.449
The challenge becomes when you aren't preventive and now you got all these broken arteries running through your body, right?

00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.260
Now the organ or tissue has died because it doesn't get oxygen, now you need the pill.

00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:26.489
With that said, back to Ozentic, it has its place in helping those who need it.

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:28.350
Here's the big problem.

00:01:23.286 --> 00:01:30.995
One of our favorite returning guests of all time, who is actually really popular in this show was one of our most downloaded episodes in the past.

00:01:31.546 --> 00:01:32.516
And you're going to see why.

00:01:32.941 --> 00:01:35.620
Her name is Erica Payne, or as we call her Coach Payne.

00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:45.131
Coach Payne is a certified personal trainer and a certified temperament life coach, who helps women with 50 to 100 pounds of weight to lose.

00:01:45.521 --> 00:01:53.510
She helps them lose it naturally, holistically, and homeopathically, without any pills shots, injections, or starvation diets.

00:01:54.021 --> 00:02:01.710
She also speaks on special topics including mindset, temple care, nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes.

00:02:02.521 --> 00:02:07.350
Basically, she helps women lose weight naturally and feel good.

00:02:07.561 --> 00:02:11.260
Get ready because you're going to be pumped after this conversation.

00:02:11.450 --> 00:02:13.230
So Erica, bring the pain.

00:02:13.841 --> 00:02:16.061
First of all, thanks for having me back, man.

00:02:16.121 --> 00:02:16.911
I'm excited.

00:02:17.420 --> 00:02:17.781
Yeah.

00:02:17.781 --> 00:02:18.721
I'm excited too.

00:02:18.760 --> 00:02:20.311
I always am excited to talk to you.

00:02:20.830 --> 00:02:22.170
You're just a bundle of energy.

00:02:22.890 --> 00:02:24.741
So what's happened since last time we talked?

00:02:24.741 --> 00:02:25.770
It's been about a year.

00:02:26.270 --> 00:02:36.800
a lot has happened, personally, just, to continue to develop into, the, the profession that just help liberate women from this wellness crisis.

00:02:36.850 --> 00:02:38.420
what I've been doing over the last year.

00:02:38.931 --> 00:02:44.330
When I first came on, we were talking about, just developing into an entrepreneur, what it took to struggles, right?

00:02:44.330 --> 00:02:47.061
The development and just connecting and being around the right people.

00:02:47.110 --> 00:02:52.591
I was able to crescendo into creating my women's online coaching program.

00:02:52.621 --> 00:02:57.002
I've been doing it for years, but shifting to online brings a different aspect to it.

00:02:57.002 --> 00:03:00.671
we've had a chance to pump that muscle at the beginning of 2024.

00:03:00.762 --> 00:03:02.292
we transform some lives.

00:03:02.292 --> 00:03:03.912
I'm looking forward to sharing a little bit more with that.

00:03:04.331 --> 00:03:05.602
that's what we've been doing, Yeah.

00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:06.171
That's awesome.

00:03:06.171 --> 00:03:08.581
Because you're able to Touch a lot of lives all over the world.

00:03:08.581 --> 00:03:13.211
Now you're not limited to just locally there in Baltimore, Absolutely.

00:03:13.211 --> 00:03:16.412
that's just the transition that has helped me for years.

00:03:16.451 --> 00:03:18.461
I've been in a gym over 35 years.

00:03:18.502 --> 00:03:21.062
working, training, lifting weights I'm an old school trainer, right?

00:03:21.072 --> 00:03:27.491
To bounce around a gym and touch and feel, but the pandemic really, demonstrate to the world a major change.

00:03:27.491 --> 00:03:29.012
And so being able to shift from.

00:03:29.366 --> 00:03:32.796
Yes, I can still connect with individuals, but the Internet waves, right?

00:03:32.826 --> 00:03:37.526
The social media, and definitely being able to do things virtual has really opened up.

00:03:37.537 --> 00:03:37.926
Now.

00:03:37.926 --> 00:03:42.287
I can coach train and help transform lives anywhere in the world.

00:03:42.486 --> 00:03:44.396
And it's just as effective.

00:03:44.396 --> 00:03:45.361
I want to share as well.

00:03:45.611 --> 00:03:47.481
How can I be just as effective?

00:03:47.481 --> 00:03:49.292
Not in person, but online.

00:03:49.342 --> 00:03:50.481
Let's jump into it.

00:03:50.481 --> 00:03:58.081
Cause I'm wondering actually before you describe that, I'm curious when you talk about weight loss, there's a lot of ways to take it on, right?

00:03:58.111 --> 00:04:08.342
Like you got, and we'll talk about the negative ways that we mentioned earlier, but within your system, you talk about, it's not just exercise, right?

00:04:08.342 --> 00:04:10.632
It's also nutrition and everything else, right?

00:04:11.241 --> 00:04:11.771
That's right.

00:04:12.081 --> 00:04:13.991
So it's a very holistic program.

00:04:14.741 --> 00:04:15.062
That's right.

00:04:15.757 --> 00:04:21.487
here's the thing, and I'll synopsize it in three words, mindset first, getting ahead in the game.

00:04:21.497 --> 00:04:22.357
I always encourage people.

00:04:22.406 --> 00:04:26.437
to get that matter between your two ears on point from there.

00:04:26.947 --> 00:04:33.266
I develop and look at it from the nutritional standpoint, the standpoint of exercise and movement.

00:04:33.547 --> 00:04:48.437
And lifestyle, so it's a combination of all 3 and it's a healthy balance that it all anchors on the foundation of mindset, which I cannot emphasize enough because I can teach you everything to really eat and work out but the minute you start to falter.

00:04:48.437 --> 00:04:49.576
You don't have that commitment.

00:04:50.161 --> 00:04:52.822
You're going to fall off and revert right back to your old ways.

00:04:52.831 --> 00:04:59.201
So it has a great deal to do with siphoning through limiting beliefs, which is a huge part of what, I've been correlating with my program.

00:04:59.201 --> 00:05:05.052
as we work through that, we jump right into here's what you eat, the exercise you do, the lifestyle changes and keep moving.

00:05:05.841 --> 00:05:09.471
So in your intake process, you get online with somebody, they hire you, right?

00:05:09.471 --> 00:05:12.132
And the first thing you start to work on is figure out where they are.

00:05:12.502 --> 00:05:13.882
Mentally, I'm assuming, right?

00:05:15.362 --> 00:05:15.911
That's correct.

00:05:15.951 --> 00:05:21.382
one of the first things we do, I should say that I do, I actually go through a screening process.

00:05:21.391 --> 00:05:27.192
So it's not, anybody raise their hand, throw money out, which I know folk aren't doing that these days, but you want to get results, right?

00:05:27.442 --> 00:05:30.531
And in reciprocation, I want to work with individuals that want it.

00:05:30.591 --> 00:05:31.692
They see the value.

00:05:31.692 --> 00:05:33.101
They see that they can be helped.

00:05:33.312 --> 00:05:42.672
And so I go through questionnaires, we actually go through an interview process to qualify you for the process and not that you can't do it, but understand it's teamwork, right?

00:05:42.901 --> 00:05:43.752
You got to do your part.

00:05:43.771 --> 00:05:47.992
I'm your GPS, you bring the work ethic and the commitment and I'll help with the rest.

00:05:47.992 --> 00:05:52.012
So it's a process of, the joining of the mind, so to speak.

00:05:52.012 --> 00:05:53.992
there is a qualifying process.

00:05:54.307 --> 00:05:58.187
we're gonna ask you to give us the answers to the test here right now first.

00:05:58.607 --> 00:06:09.307
All right So hey for anybody wants to work with coach Payne just listen to this episode and you'll have the answers what are the questions you ask to qualify people and what are the answers you look for?

00:06:10.447 --> 00:06:10.716
Sure.

00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:13.666
One of the first things I ask is, what are your goals?

00:06:14.117 --> 00:06:16.857
What is it that you're looking to accomplish, everyone has various goals.

00:06:16.857 --> 00:06:17.526
I want to lose weight.

00:06:17.526 --> 00:06:18.317
I want to look a certain way.

00:06:18.317 --> 00:06:20.257
I want to go here on my trip, those kind of things.

00:06:20.257 --> 00:06:23.427
And then, so I began to dig deeper because you can always ask surface stuff, right?

00:06:23.427 --> 00:06:26.137
Where you want to be, how much you want to weigh and all that stuff.

00:06:26.187 --> 00:06:29.047
from a professional standpoint, I'm looking to dig deeper.

00:06:29.237 --> 00:06:32.367
some of the other questions I would ask is, why do you want that?

00:06:32.916 --> 00:06:34.146
now we're moving to a why.

00:06:34.197 --> 00:06:37.997
Which gets a little bit different than the surface of a certain size, right?

00:06:37.997 --> 00:06:40.677
Pants size, weight size or where you want to go.

00:06:40.987 --> 00:06:47.757
then I begin to ask questions that really dig down to the pain points, what really is going on.

00:06:47.776 --> 00:06:54.137
And I have a question, how does it make you feel when you're 250 pounds and you can't bend over and tie your shoe?

00:06:54.146 --> 00:06:56.906
How do you feel about that it doesn't involve anyone else.

00:06:56.906 --> 00:06:58.326
It's you, right?

00:06:58.367 --> 00:07:02.276
How do you think when you walk up, 10 flights of steps and you're out of breath?

00:07:02.516 --> 00:07:02.956
Yeah.

00:07:03.836 --> 00:07:06.776
So questions that dig deeper to the pain points.

00:07:06.776 --> 00:07:09.076
in short, Louie, here's what I find out.

00:07:09.976 --> 00:07:12.257
We'll begin to get down to the real why.

00:07:12.716 --> 00:07:18.216
I want to be around to see my grandbabies, jump across my lap and I can chase 1 or 2, right?

00:07:18.586 --> 00:07:24.637
I want to be around to spend time with my husband or my wife, I want to be able to travel on a trip on a plane and not be alone.

00:07:24.637 --> 00:07:28.487
Someone have to push me in a wheel, a wheelchair, with an oxygen tank.

00:07:28.516 --> 00:07:35.797
So just like in any other business, when you get into Mastermind and your why, wellness is the same thing.

00:07:35.797 --> 00:07:37.266
It's the same concept.

00:07:37.266 --> 00:07:43.346
And if you don't have that burning why, which is what I really probe with the questions, then it's just not gonna work.

00:07:43.346 --> 00:07:43.406
Yeah.

00:07:43.586 --> 00:07:44.312
It'll work for a moment.

00:07:44.947 --> 00:07:46.687
But then eventually it'll fizzle.

00:07:47.067 --> 00:07:48.677
So you're looking for the big why?

00:07:48.726 --> 00:07:52.026
If they just want to look good in a bikini, by summertime.

00:07:54.956 --> 00:07:57.677
Listen, it's nothing wrong with looking nice, right?

00:07:57.677 --> 00:07:59.226
I have short hair, right?

00:08:00.737 --> 00:08:01.646
Nothing wrong with that.

00:08:01.646 --> 00:08:05.036
But working with clients and losing five, 10 pounds, getting a certain pair of pants.

00:08:05.036 --> 00:08:05.677
That's one thing.

00:08:05.966 --> 00:08:17.817
But when you have had life challenges, with your wellness, when you have had debilitating diseases that have kept you from going to X, Y, and Z, it gets deeper than five or 10 pounds for a beach.

00:08:18.187 --> 00:08:19.507
A beach vacation, right?

00:08:19.687 --> 00:08:20.697
It takes effort.

00:08:20.737 --> 00:08:21.966
It takes commitment.

00:08:22.156 --> 00:08:29.507
It takes, I want to do this so that you can live the type of lifestyle behind closed doors, I did a post the other day and I will share it.

00:08:29.507 --> 00:08:30.487
Listen, I get it.

00:08:30.516 --> 00:08:34.167
I used to be 240 plus pounds and counting.

00:08:34.346 --> 00:08:35.687
I stopped getting on the scale after that.

00:08:36.126 --> 00:08:40.407
You are living with a mask on behind closed doors?

00:08:40.466 --> 00:08:48.037
We have mirrors that go from the bottom of our necks up to the top of our head, Because we don't want to see that image that hurts and pains us.

00:08:48.047 --> 00:08:49.846
So that's 1 of the areas that listen.

00:08:50.836 --> 00:09:01.136
We could do that, make a few adjustments, but the individuals or the challenges that I'm looking to reach with women is because I understand the pain, the hurt, the challenges, and you can't do it by yourself.

00:09:01.336 --> 00:09:04.336
Being liberated you don't have to wear that mask any longer.

00:09:04.537 --> 00:09:07.157
If you have the commitment and want to make a change.

00:09:07.886 --> 00:09:08.496
Makes sense.

00:09:09.206 --> 00:09:10.817
a lot of that is life coaching, right?

00:09:10.866 --> 00:09:24.346
once you get that, why are you helping them, figure out, Before you even give them a exercise and nutrition plan, some of the, habits and all of that to go, that they got to develop to, to reach that.

00:09:24.356 --> 00:09:25.947
Why, you know what I'm saying?

00:09:26.147 --> 00:09:27.456
Yeah, I know exactly what you're saying.

00:09:27.596 --> 00:09:30.856
So here's what I do with my clients and onboarding.

00:09:30.956 --> 00:09:33.287
And again, I like to always use analogies, right?

00:09:33.307 --> 00:09:37.917
Because when it comes to making money doing business, we get it, we got our vision, right?

00:09:37.917 --> 00:09:39.856
We got a how tos, we got a mastermind.

00:09:39.866 --> 00:09:40.326
Guess what?

00:09:41.711 --> 00:09:51.981
If taking care of your body, your inner health, your mind, your soul, your spirit isn't just as important, if not more important, like you are your greatest asset.

00:09:52.701 --> 00:09:57.501
So what I'm saying is for your greatest asset, which is you, we do a vision.

00:09:57.501 --> 00:09:58.861
We do a wellness vision.

00:09:59.131 --> 00:10:05.552
Sit down and we go, listen, you now see, and again, Laurie, this comes with you having a vision for yourself.

00:10:05.562 --> 00:10:09.211
Sometimes I have to help clients see it doesn't have to be, I love Janet Jackson.

00:10:09.211 --> 00:10:10.942
It doesn't have to be Janet Jackson, right?

00:10:11.402 --> 00:10:12.912
It doesn't have to be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:10:12.932 --> 00:10:19.392
It could be you or whoever, but having the vision of your ideal self in 6 months or a year.

00:10:19.402 --> 00:10:28.471
we write that down and that becomes part of my client's profile and, onboarding because We have a reference point where we're going.

00:10:28.802 --> 00:10:42.471
So having a wellness vision plan and right now where you want to go and then certainly Lloyd along with that, I put together what's called very common term, personal trainers, individualized fitness plan in short.

00:10:42.976 --> 00:10:44.626
We design a plan that works for you.

00:10:44.886 --> 00:10:46.106
There's no cookie cutting.

00:10:46.106 --> 00:10:47.596
There's no one size fit all.

00:10:47.787 --> 00:10:48.537
We're all different.

00:10:48.547 --> 00:10:49.576
We all have different challenges.

00:10:49.576 --> 00:10:52.297
we go through a great deal of your medical background.

00:10:53.017 --> 00:10:57.277
If you need clearances from your doctor, We look at any physical challenges, what you can and can't do.

00:10:57.287 --> 00:10:59.216
We've incorporate some foods that you like.

00:10:59.716 --> 00:11:12.256
So there's a lot that comes with onboarding, to answer your question, yes, there is a specification, with that wellness vision, and incorporating the other aspects to help build the ideal written individualized fitness plan.

00:11:12.407 --> 00:11:12.907
I like it.

00:11:13.197 --> 00:11:21.086
I wonder, with, the result you're delivering, it'd also be great to just have a picture, Hey, with today's technology, just find a body you want.

00:11:21.126 --> 00:11:22.386
And put your face on it.

00:11:22.767 --> 00:11:23.447
It'd be pretty easy.

00:11:24.386 --> 00:11:25.557
Man, AI has done it, right?

00:11:25.667 --> 00:11:26.086
Yeah.

00:11:26.147 --> 00:11:32.096
I hate to say magnificent, but they have, at the end of the day, You gotta have a vision where you're going.

00:11:32.106 --> 00:11:34.246
if you don't see it before you see it.

00:11:34.746 --> 00:11:39.486
It's the same thing when having faith in things that you haven't seen yet to bring it into, manifestation.

00:11:39.486 --> 00:11:42.027
And so listen, I use my own self.

00:11:42.096 --> 00:11:51.197
I know this may sound, you can call it self, I don't want to say self worshipping, but there are aspects, I don't want to look like my 15, 20 year old, but again, I competed in bodybuilding.

00:11:51.197 --> 00:11:55.307
And so I have a balance between a stage look and just being healthy.

00:11:55.307 --> 00:11:58.807
And so I use some photos of my own self of ideal health and wellness.

00:11:58.836 --> 00:12:04.157
My whole point is have a direction or reference point where you're going.

00:12:04.157 --> 00:12:07.886
If you don't know where you're going to have a hard time getting there because the target moves, I want to be here.

00:12:07.886 --> 00:12:08.537
I want to be here.

00:12:08.626 --> 00:12:09.966
So that's the whole premise behind that.

00:12:09.966 --> 00:12:12.006
And we do before and after pictures.

00:12:12.027 --> 00:12:17.817
keeping those before and afters, can be challenging, but it's part of my program that helps you to stay on point on a weekly basis.

00:12:17.817 --> 00:12:22.317
ultimately the goal is to get pretty darn close to it, if not be it.

00:12:22.346 --> 00:12:28.466
so that takes care of the mind, Getting the mind And the nutrition and exercise part, that's probably for you the pretty easy part, right?

00:12:28.466 --> 00:12:32.866
The technical, that's probably why people sign up with you, but for you that's the easy part, right?

00:12:32.866 --> 00:12:34.616
Like you just, what's the goal?

00:12:34.866 --> 00:12:35.817
Where are you at now?

00:12:36.067 --> 00:12:38.706
Do the math given the plan kind of thing, right?

00:12:39.417 --> 00:12:40.667
In a nutshell.

00:12:40.697 --> 00:12:41.126
Yes.

00:12:41.386 --> 00:12:44.836
the difference that I add is with my program.

00:12:44.866 --> 00:12:49.736
When I bring my clients on, we go through, 10 to 14 days of food journaling.

00:12:49.736 --> 00:12:51.167
most trainers are familiar with this.

00:12:51.397 --> 00:12:58.057
The goal is not for me to tell you what you shouldn't have eaten, The goal is you don't know how you are eating it helps me to see it.

00:12:58.057 --> 00:12:59.076
It helps you to see it.

00:12:59.667 --> 00:13:01.417
at the end of that 10 to 14 day period.

00:13:01.447 --> 00:13:02.397
We go over your journal.

00:13:02.397 --> 00:13:05.076
We do a 1 on 1 live consultation.

00:13:05.076 --> 00:13:08.567
then I begin you on what's called my natural detox plan.

00:13:08.947 --> 00:13:10.547
In short, you eat food.

00:13:10.876 --> 00:13:12.476
This is not a starvation diet.

00:13:12.826 --> 00:13:14.177
This is not a liquid diet.

00:13:14.456 --> 00:13:15.716
This is definitely no pills.

00:13:15.726 --> 00:13:22.596
It is a food selection plan with quality meats, proteins, chicken, fish, turkey, right?

00:13:23.782 --> 00:13:26.371
Lots of greens and veggies in a fiber category.

00:13:26.371 --> 00:13:27.172
I can run in.

00:13:27.172 --> 00:13:28.381
You name it green vegetables.

00:13:28.381 --> 00:13:28.912
You can do it.

00:13:28.922 --> 00:13:30.741
Spinach, collards, kale, right?

00:13:31.182 --> 00:13:32.682
Low glycemic fruits.

00:13:32.731 --> 00:13:33.971
fruits low in sugar, right?

00:13:33.971 --> 00:13:36.341
There's a difference between watermelon and a cherry.

00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:37.412
There's a difference.

00:13:37.422 --> 00:13:41.272
All fruits are created equal and then just fluids to hydrate the body.

00:13:41.442 --> 00:13:46.851
So I do get a bit more detail because I recognize, there's 168 hours in a week.

00:13:47.361 --> 00:13:48.331
I can close my eyes.

00:13:48.341 --> 00:13:50.522
Number one to start one hour a week of training.

00:13:50.591 --> 00:13:50.961
Yes.

00:13:50.991 --> 00:13:52.162
One hour a week of training.

00:13:52.652 --> 00:13:55.432
This is a launching pad for you to start two days out of the week.

00:13:55.442 --> 00:13:56.361
30 minutes a day.

00:13:56.902 --> 00:13:59.511
The bulk of your day is spent not eating, but living your life.

00:13:59.591 --> 00:14:03.042
So help my clients to understand how you are feeling your body.

00:14:03.072 --> 00:14:05.961
It is not the exercises and we're getting that to that in a minute.

00:14:06.162 --> 00:14:07.761
It's not the exercises that, okay.

00:14:08.162 --> 00:14:11.792
Actually, does the do it's going to be what you're putting in your body.

00:14:11.802 --> 00:14:15.511
And then we'll get into the lifestyle piece, which is ladder in short.

00:14:15.552 --> 00:14:21.642
It's, I like the percentage, 85 percent to 15%.

00:14:21.922 --> 00:14:23.152
You heard the 80, 20 rule.

00:14:24.392 --> 00:14:30.961
We're in a world now where it is a serious food war, but you have got to make every effort to get quality foods in your body.

00:14:30.961 --> 00:14:35.532
So I up that because we all don't have a real true buffer, how much we eat anyway.

00:14:35.721 --> 00:14:40.351
So it's 85, 15, 85 percent clean eating 15%.

00:14:40.361 --> 00:14:49.331
Listen, have yourself some wine or, Bergen fries, but finding the balance and the nutrition is the hugest part of your total wellness and for longevity.

00:14:49.792 --> 00:14:55.017
How You know, I know you didn't want to go too deep into this, but I'm going to take you there anyways.

00:14:56.307 --> 00:14:59.864
with clean eating, I find this is something very important to us in our household.

00:15:00.274 --> 00:15:02.323
earlier this year, we went to Japan.

00:15:04.203 --> 00:15:23.173
It was remarkable how good we all felt eating there anywhere we go, we could go to a 7 eleven and get a rice cake And it was phenomenal, you know That's what we were like munching on everywhere or you know Even a burger there where it wasn't like you didn't feel Like you were in a food coma from all the grease But then you come back here and immediately it's like everywhere.

00:15:23.224 --> 00:15:33.394
you really got to look hard for that maybe this goes into the lifestyle piece of your, plan, but how do you go about, trying to make that part easy?

00:15:34.303 --> 00:15:35.693
You open a Pandora's box.

00:15:35.764 --> 00:15:36.823
here's what I'll say about that.

00:15:37.173 --> 00:15:39.803
if you live in the Americas, it is no secret.

00:15:39.823 --> 00:15:47.024
We are the one country around the world that pretty much accepts and regulates chemicals in our bodies.

00:15:47.624 --> 00:15:52.514
You just said it, you go to another part of the world and you meet, fast food and it tastes different.

00:15:52.563 --> 00:15:54.183
Here's how I encourage my clients.

00:15:55.354 --> 00:15:58.283
Get to know your local farmers market.

00:15:59.234 --> 00:16:04.394
You want to find foods that are grown naturally, non GMO, right?

00:16:04.573 --> 00:16:06.494
you want to get in tune with your local farmer.

00:16:07.094 --> 00:16:07.734
Why?

00:16:07.953 --> 00:16:11.913
Because that's where you can get a lot of your foods that are grown organically.

00:16:11.943 --> 00:16:27.894
But a whole lot less of the pesticides and the chemicals I'm also including not just fruits and vegetables, but your meat, there are a lot of farms around the country where there are still farmers who are raising and allowing their cattle or livestock to graze naturally.

00:16:27.894 --> 00:16:30.321
You got to tap into those.

00:16:30.321 --> 00:16:32.344
Now, here's the other challenge.

00:16:33.524 --> 00:16:36.604
There are areas where you may have some challenges, right?

00:16:36.734 --> 00:16:37.823
Getting to a food market.

00:16:37.823 --> 00:16:43.053
And I'm not, it's not to say that you can't get healthy foods from a local food market, but I'm encouraging to be selective.

00:16:43.464 --> 00:16:49.839
Spend the money for the organic, spend the money on the foods that are, Put together.

00:16:49.839 --> 00:17:00.178
because if not, what you're doing is as we continue to take in these carcinogenic chemicals, we continue to destroy a molecular makeup and it's causing a number of different diseases.

00:17:00.178 --> 00:17:04.398
So farmers markets make wise decisions when you go to the supermarket.

00:17:04.409 --> 00:17:05.588
Listen, You just got to do it.

00:17:06.138 --> 00:17:08.358
Circumvent the outside of the market.

00:17:08.419 --> 00:17:09.979
All of the dead fools are in the center.

00:17:10.598 --> 00:17:11.929
Spend your time on the outer skirt.

00:17:12.088 --> 00:17:19.288
foods, particularly the fruits and vegetables that have a thick covering, like your bananas, oranges or grapefruits.

00:17:19.669 --> 00:17:24.749
You may be able to get away with non organic So I don't want people to be stressing, oh my God, it's not organic.

00:17:24.848 --> 00:17:25.628
pray over your food.

00:17:25.638 --> 00:17:33.989
You don't know what you're getting in every turn, but if you could get organic those, and you definitely want to get organic on your thin skin, fruits and vegetables, right?

00:17:34.209 --> 00:17:36.239
Like your berries, cherries, things like that.

00:17:36.288 --> 00:17:42.429
If you have a yard or space in your yard or know somebody or can co op, Connect with other people who have yards and do exchange.

00:17:42.429 --> 00:17:53.358
I have friends in Wisconsin one has a chicken farm where they lay some of the most tastiest brown eggs in it and they do, crop share or co op sharing one, maybe growing greens.

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:55.338
So they come, they can't eat all those eggs.

00:17:55.378 --> 00:17:56.449
So they swap them out.

00:17:56.659 --> 00:17:59.128
So find ways to grow your own foods.

00:17:59.778 --> 00:18:02.098
And then lastly, you just got to make smart decisions.

00:18:02.098 --> 00:18:04.199
You're not going to be able to hit it every single time.

00:18:04.219 --> 00:18:07.088
Listen, as a trained and professional lawyer, I don't trip on it.

00:18:07.229 --> 00:18:17.088
If I can't get to something that's organic or non GMO, I make every intentions to select foods that are healthy and, without all the chemicals.

00:18:17.138 --> 00:18:21.179
But again, if you're out eating, especially in your, Fast food market.

00:18:21.338 --> 00:18:24.088
And by the way, I think you've heard of Roof Chris Steakhouse.

00:18:24.598 --> 00:18:28.919
Roof Chris Steakhouse may be 150, 200 a plate, but it's fast food.

00:18:29.078 --> 00:18:29.719
just go figure.

00:18:30.689 --> 00:18:32.308
So crazy.

00:18:32.778 --> 00:18:49.048
Erica, going back to growing your own stuff, there was a friend of ours that we went to his house and he lives in a small house he's on one of those celery diets for a while and he started growing, his own celery inside his house on hydroponics.

00:18:49.098 --> 00:18:55.278
He had this pole out of PVC cut holes in it and had this huge celery stalk I was blown away.

00:18:55.328 --> 00:18:57.929
I should try and get a hydroponics expert on this show.

00:18:57.929 --> 00:19:02.409
after that I started researching and now I know there's a lot of hydroponic restaurants here.

00:19:02.409 --> 00:19:06.189
I always thought of hydroponics as a way of growing weed as a kid, in my ignorant self.

00:19:06.538 --> 00:19:07.509
But, it's amazing.

00:19:07.778 --> 00:19:18.828
Like food in your house fruits and vegetables and especially vegetables and herbs and it's so easy and so abundant and you can do it anywhere in a small apartment which is pretty neat.

00:19:19.489 --> 00:19:25.848
Yeah, just something I thought you'd appreciate and probably something I'm going to be looking more into.

00:19:26.189 --> 00:19:28.239
let me know when you bring that specialist in.

00:19:28.239 --> 00:19:30.118
I'll be definitely on the show listening in.

00:19:30.118 --> 00:19:34.669
I do recall over the years when we were younger, our great grandparents and grandparents, they grew.

00:19:35.213 --> 00:19:38.453
Fruit and vegetables right there in the pot without that stuff.

00:19:38.453 --> 00:19:40.104
That's right.

00:19:40.153 --> 00:19:48.513
so yeah, bring me back on the show when you have that because we are in those days and times with being creative and as, proactive as you can take care of yourself.

00:19:48.983 --> 00:19:49.423
That's right.

00:19:49.503 --> 00:19:57.923
a lot of the stuff you're absolutely right that we're getting is just got so many so much junk in it that we're really not getting any decent additional values, right?

00:19:58.124 --> 00:20:08.114
Smartphone here, Before we get, we'll circle back, but I wanted to that topic because I think it's interesting and it's a sign of the times, but I want to talk about lifestyle a little bit more.

00:20:09.334 --> 00:20:10.554
Can you, elaborate on that?

00:20:10.683 --> 00:20:12.703
What is that third piece of your stool there?

00:20:13.193 --> 00:20:14.513
the lifestyle is simply this.

00:20:14.834 --> 00:20:17.124
Proper rest, meaning when it's time to go to bed.

00:20:17.584 --> 00:20:21.403
You want to strive for seven to nine hours of quality rest.

00:20:21.413 --> 00:20:22.644
What is quality rest?

00:20:22.713 --> 00:20:32.153
what you do during your day, whether it's what you eat, your daily activities, how you're thinking will set up a great deal of how you sleep or rest at night.

00:20:32.513 --> 00:20:34.723
All rest is in creating a creative equals.

00:20:34.733 --> 00:20:35.884
So I encourage my clients.

00:20:35.884 --> 00:20:38.564
Listen, watch what you put in your body.

00:20:38.919 --> 00:20:42.058
Because as you begin to go through the day, you process, right?

00:20:42.098 --> 00:20:47.969
And you begin to wind down a great deal of that carries over into you sleep and how well you rest.

00:20:47.999 --> 00:20:54.538
There are many stages and I won't get too deep into it, but your REM sleep, your deep sleep, not saying them in the same order.

00:20:54.659 --> 00:20:55.239
I should start off.

00:20:55.259 --> 00:21:01.933
As you usually go into your deep sleep 1st, You may roll into your REM sleep, give or take Ness, next.

00:21:01.933 --> 00:21:03.364
And then you have what's light sleep.

00:21:03.683 --> 00:21:06.534
There's different stages where your body is recuperating.

00:21:06.534 --> 00:21:08.074
So rest is super important.

00:21:08.384 --> 00:21:20.814
I'll also say along with that, saunas, hot saunas that you have infrared sauna out here now, that's part of giving the body the therapeutic attention that it needs to recuperate, to refresh, to energize.

00:21:20.903 --> 00:21:21.804
Long walks.

00:21:22.473 --> 00:21:25.314
Yes, walking is not an exercise.

00:21:25.334 --> 00:21:26.374
It's movement.

00:21:26.384 --> 00:21:28.163
It is part of your lifestyle.

00:21:28.513 --> 00:21:30.364
Find ways to move.

00:21:30.804 --> 00:21:31.544
It is huge.

00:21:31.574 --> 00:21:34.354
I actually go through and try to keep things simple.

00:21:34.423 --> 00:21:36.763
Louis, you ever heard of terminology?

00:21:36.794 --> 00:21:37.334
Kiss it.

00:21:37.703 --> 00:21:38.183
keep it simple.

00:21:38.483 --> 00:21:38.983
Sweetie.

00:21:39.703 --> 00:21:40.203
I love it.

00:21:40.294 --> 00:21:40.763
So what?

00:21:41.763 --> 00:21:42.933
Last one said stupid.

00:21:42.933 --> 00:21:43.983
I'll just say so the audience know.

00:21:44.433 --> 00:21:47.344
I try to make things simple for us to live.

00:21:47.344 --> 00:21:53.624
Listen, don't circle the front of the parking lot, looking for a place to park Park where no one wants to walk.

00:21:54.153 --> 00:21:55.223
But why would I want to do that?

00:21:55.233 --> 00:21:57.903
It adds to your lifestyle of movement.

00:21:57.913 --> 00:21:59.763
The body needs to move.

00:21:59.983 --> 00:22:01.263
And so movement is key.

00:22:01.624 --> 00:22:04.374
Finding things that you enjoy doing.

00:22:04.773 --> 00:22:08.953
It has a great deal with your mental, physical, and spiritual capacity.

00:22:09.213 --> 00:22:10.663
And so you're like how do I have time for that?

00:22:10.693 --> 00:22:14.423
That's partly why you have the stress or the cortisol problem, right?

00:22:14.854 --> 00:22:24.564
and that's another challenge because when you start stressing a lot and your stress meter stays up and your cortisol is up, you got a whole nother, molecular cellular level of destruction going on in your body.

00:22:24.844 --> 00:22:27.963
And so that lifestyle piece is that aspect.

00:22:27.983 --> 00:22:31.554
It's also cultivating your environment around a support group.

00:22:32.199 --> 00:22:34.808
And your support, can be your husband, wife, or network.

00:22:34.898 --> 00:22:35.709
You, I don't know.

00:22:35.969 --> 00:22:41.949
I know you say you backed off for running around the globe, but you have a network of folk who you're trained to work out with, right?

00:22:42.159 --> 00:22:42.939
Same with me.

00:22:42.999 --> 00:22:48.808
I have a positive affirming, encouraging environment and also to keep you accountable.

00:22:49.104 --> 00:22:51.233
So those are some of the aspects.

00:22:51.263 --> 00:22:52.163
Everyone's different.

00:22:52.223 --> 00:22:56.173
Find something you like and enjoy doing for relaxation purposes.

00:22:56.173 --> 00:22:56.953
rest is key.

00:22:57.213 --> 00:22:58.443
sleep is key.

00:22:58.693 --> 00:23:05.443
Again, the proper therapeutic massages, sauna baths, salt water, like Epsom salt baths.

00:23:06.848 --> 00:23:08.159
It's all this stuff works.

00:23:08.588 --> 00:23:10.199
So that's a glimpse.

00:23:10.199 --> 00:23:16.739
And really, that's a big part of my program that I emphasize, especially with women, because we are worry warts by nature.

00:23:16.848 --> 00:23:22.068
keeping that cortisol low, keeps the body burning fat, helps to keep the belly fat down.

00:23:22.138 --> 00:23:24.878
And helps to balance out the other hormones in the body.

00:23:26.588 --> 00:23:40.068
Erica, going back to the community piece, a lot of what we do when we get ourselves in trouble, in this case, becoming overweight, We tend to surround ourselves with other people who are overweight, There's that saying we are the average of the five people around us.

00:23:40.118 --> 00:23:41.628
that applies to everything in life.

00:23:42.249 --> 00:23:46.888
Sometimes you're going to make drastic changes in your life if you find that community that isn't like that.

00:23:47.159 --> 00:23:49.088
Oh, but I don't want to let go of my old friends.

00:23:49.118 --> 00:23:53.148
Your old friends, you can still be friends with them, but you can change that part.

00:23:53.618 --> 00:23:56.219
I wanted to become an early morning runner.

00:23:57.249 --> 00:24:01.798
I now run at five in the morning, at least three days a week, and I really enjoy it.

00:24:01.798 --> 00:24:03.608
I've been doing it year round for over a year.

00:24:03.778 --> 00:24:06.999
that was really hard because I had one friend that would do it with me.

00:24:07.259 --> 00:24:08.108
shout out to AJ.

00:24:08.108 --> 00:24:13.798
He's a listener to the show, but the, But he, sometimes had to go to work or sometimes I had to go to work and we didn't make it.

00:24:13.848 --> 00:24:15.058
So we started a 5 a.

00:24:15.058 --> 00:24:15.269
m.

00:24:15.269 --> 00:24:15.778
run group.

00:24:16.338 --> 00:24:21.919
And now you have, anywhere from 6 to 12 people that come out on a regular basis.

00:24:22.239 --> 00:24:28.519
So we have somebody to hold ourselves accountable to, you can create your own community, right?

00:24:28.568 --> 00:24:51.364
going back to that mindset of who you want to be the ideal you Find other people who are either already there also want to be there, And it's easier now than ever you just get on face group start a group You know put a picture of your ideal self and say I want to be like this who else wants to be with me they will join that group and find you because other people want that, absolutely.

00:24:51.403 --> 00:24:51.584
Yeah.

00:24:51.773 --> 00:24:52.884
I just want to say 1 quick thing.

00:24:52.953 --> 00:24:57.134
You hit it and I'm so glad you brought that up about creating the ideal environment.

00:24:57.374 --> 00:24:58.493
Because that is so true.

00:24:58.493 --> 00:25:01.243
I think sometimes we'll find ourselves and I'll do the best that I can.

00:25:01.243 --> 00:25:05.144
We are not designed to do anything that we're doing in this world by ourselves.

00:25:05.374 --> 00:25:05.864
And that's it.

00:25:06.554 --> 00:25:13.064
when you begin to get out of your comfort zone, like I always say to my clients, get comfortable being uncomfortable.

00:25:13.413 --> 00:25:15.794
Get out and meet people, do different things.

00:25:16.193 --> 00:25:18.473
set your standards higher, level up.

00:25:18.673 --> 00:25:20.433
create the environment that you want.

00:25:20.834 --> 00:25:29.413
since the last time I've been on, when you begin to do that, your world goes from small, mini, tiny to wide open and broad in a sense of self development.

00:25:29.824 --> 00:25:32.493
And when it comes to the wellness part, absolutely.

00:25:32.493 --> 00:25:35.334
some of us are what they call a type personality.

00:25:35.413 --> 00:25:36.884
I'm up every morning at four o'clock.

00:25:36.884 --> 00:25:39.993
I need very little help and accountability but that's me.

00:25:40.423 --> 00:25:49.943
If you're not going to get up that time of morning and you need support and accountability, go seek, create, and get in that environment to help keep you accountable to reach your goals.

00:25:50.364 --> 00:25:55.394
That's exactly why a lot of your most successful businessmen and women, you can attest to this.

00:25:55.394 --> 00:25:57.703
We have coaches, we have counsel, we have support.

00:25:58.134 --> 00:25:58.384
Yeah.

00:25:59.269 --> 00:26:03.009
Billionaires, have coaches and counsel to help keep them on track.

00:26:03.038 --> 00:26:09.648
So it's no different for us when it comes to, taking care of your health and wellness, they have an accountability group.

00:26:09.818 --> 00:26:14.689
But even in the form of a coach, which is what I do, or an environment that helps you reach your goal.

00:26:15.794 --> 00:26:22.304
Yeah, now, that I surround myself with, a lot of the people I surround myself with are very successful and wealthy people.

00:26:22.733 --> 00:26:26.874
And I find it ironic because I'm usually the spender, right?

00:26:26.913 --> 00:26:28.374
I'll spend on stupid stuff.

00:26:29.638 --> 00:26:30.909
And I don't see them doing it.

00:26:30.909 --> 00:26:32.338
I'm thinking like, they got all the money in the world.

00:26:32.388 --> 00:26:45.999
and it's cause they realize that the stuff is not important, but they will spend all the money in the world for a coach, for an accountability partner, for a community, to be a part of, and that's what makes them successful.

00:26:47.128 --> 00:26:50.999
Yeah, and I thought on the back end is no different.

00:26:51.328 --> 00:26:54.278
When it comes to investing I have a tendency.

00:26:54.328 --> 00:27:03.048
you can't be the successful businessman or woman doing anything for your family for your job If you're not in a healthy state of mind inside out.

00:27:03.519 --> 00:27:05.888
It has to have value for you, right?

00:27:06.199 --> 00:27:08.558
It has to be something you want to invest in.

00:27:09.019 --> 00:27:11.769
If you're not worth it, I don't know who, or what is.

00:27:12.098 --> 00:27:18.058
until you understand that you have worth, you have value, you are necessary and need to take care of that part.

00:27:18.058 --> 00:27:22.011
not just the physical because there's a lot of mental stuff that keeps us from doing things.

00:27:22.061 --> 00:27:25.281
all encompassing, like you said, you got to be willing to invest the time.

00:27:25.281 --> 00:27:27.801
I'll say this, you're going to spend the money now or later.

00:27:27.852 --> 00:27:28.791
When it comes to your health.

00:27:28.842 --> 00:27:36.652
I just did a post this morning on that, about big pharma, health care or fail care, where do you want to spend the money and when do you want to spend it?

00:27:37.221 --> 00:27:38.392
you're going to spend it one way or the other.

00:27:38.471 --> 00:27:41.761
I encourage folks invest in yourself and take care of you so you can level up.

00:27:42.162 --> 00:27:48.622
that's really important with the food piece too, in particular, like you, everybody goes and looks, Oh, I can't afford organic.

00:27:49.267 --> 00:27:52.727
But then you can't afford, the crap you're buying either.

00:27:52.767 --> 00:27:58.737
Because you're going to spend a lot more if you eat too much McDonald's than you are, for buying organic lettuce.

00:27:59.436 --> 00:28:00.217
Absolutely.

00:28:00.346 --> 00:28:00.737
Absolutely.

00:28:00.737 --> 00:28:07.241
Listen, we're in a world, we can't afford not to make Best decision, not halfway decisions.

00:28:07.531 --> 00:28:11.122
If you recognize, listen, this is all you got, right?

00:28:11.471 --> 00:28:14.311
And so listen, garbage in garbage out, right?

00:28:14.801 --> 00:28:17.192
You put healthy, wholesome man, look what you're going to get out.

00:28:17.402 --> 00:28:29.787
And back to what you were sharing before, being in an arena of supportive, energetic individuals going where you're going, when it comes to taking care of your health and well eating, working out movement, Lifestyle.

00:28:29.807 --> 00:28:35.807
Listen, you begin to feel and you become the thing that you want to be You love feeling that way.

00:28:36.207 --> 00:28:40.277
Let me tell you, it's hard to go back to McDonald's Burger King and Chick fil A.

00:28:40.326 --> 00:28:47.017
When you have experienced the inner benefits of total wellness, your body is breathing oxygen is flowing.

00:28:47.017 --> 00:28:48.396
Even your breathing is calmer.

00:28:48.626 --> 00:28:51.096
My average heart rate now sits at the low fifties.

00:28:51.096 --> 00:28:52.027
Just relaxing.

00:28:52.517 --> 00:28:53.731
That didn't come overnight.

00:28:54.071 --> 00:29:01.301
it's different aspects that you begin to experience from inside out I don't know who wouldn't want to feel great going into the 40, 50, 60s and beyond.

00:29:01.301 --> 00:29:06.221
I meet a lot of energetic, healthy individuals, 70 plus, and they are doing it up there.

00:29:06.501 --> 00:29:07.652
So let's get there, fam.

00:29:07.711 --> 00:29:09.662
Let's just take care of ourselves and get there.

00:29:09.852 --> 00:29:18.031
That's actually a good segue cause what we're really describing a stable, way of living life, to the fullest, right?

00:29:18.031 --> 00:29:23.821
In a good way versus the magic pill, so let's jump right into that piece.

00:29:23.821 --> 00:29:29.412
we started off talking about how you help people do this holistically instead of with Ozempic.

00:29:29.432 --> 00:29:31.961
last year, Ozempic, was the magic pill.

00:29:32.866 --> 00:29:35.866
I think it was on one of those magazines time or something front cover.

00:29:35.866 --> 00:29:37.576
Hey, magic pill like this magic.

00:29:37.817 --> 00:29:41.836
And now we're seeing that it's causing all kinds of crazy pain.

00:29:41.936 --> 00:29:44.426
I just saw an article not too long ago.

00:29:44.426 --> 00:29:49.277
I didn't read it, but I just saw the headlines was like a Zempico give you a heart attack or something like that.

00:29:50.547 --> 00:29:52.846
Which you and I are thinking like, yeah, no kidding.

00:29:53.686 --> 00:29:54.957
what do you think about that?

00:29:54.957 --> 00:30:02.346
big pharma brings these things their marketing is on point and they are bringing these things that solve everything for us with a pill.

00:30:02.946 --> 00:30:04.156
It seems every year there's a new one.

00:30:04.882 --> 00:30:10.192
And then the year after, we find out it don't work, It causes another problem.

00:30:10.902 --> 00:30:11.761
Exactly.

00:30:12.221 --> 00:30:14.872
Man, let me say this, because I know it's a hot topic.

00:30:14.882 --> 00:30:16.442
Let me preface my statement.

00:30:17.332 --> 00:30:23.182
Any medicines, whatever they are, when I'm saying pills, medicine has this place.

00:30:23.211 --> 00:30:28.872
There are some individuals out here, listen, go to your doctor, you get your blood work done, you need it.

00:30:29.991 --> 00:30:31.182
Follow your doctor's orders.

00:30:31.271 --> 00:30:36.251
My encouragement is to work in a zone where you can work from a preventive measure.

00:30:36.561 --> 00:30:38.571
Don't find yourself in the problem.

00:30:38.571 --> 00:30:44.021
Then you got to run to, pharma care, fail care to try to abrogate the problem.

00:30:44.031 --> 00:30:46.811
Now you got another problem because now you want more pills.

00:30:46.821 --> 00:30:49.731
listen, they got so many of them out here.

00:30:49.842 --> 00:30:53.261
I can't keep up pills that are particularly exempt.

00:30:53.261 --> 00:30:55.642
Let's just stay with that for diabetes.

00:30:56.041 --> 00:30:58.652
There are many who have challenges with high sugar.

00:30:58.652 --> 00:30:59.932
Now, I'm going to say something on that.

00:31:00.092 --> 00:31:01.902
I was just sharing this with my mom earlier.

00:31:02.231 --> 00:31:13.551
Diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, and a number of other different diseases are what's called modifiable diseases, because obesity now is a disease that you can change.

00:31:14.311 --> 00:31:19.642
The challenge becomes when you are preventive and now you got all these broken arteries running through your body, right?

00:31:19.902 --> 00:31:24.442
Now the organ or tissue has died because it doesn't get oxygen, now you need the pill.

00:31:24.592 --> 00:31:28.662
With that said, back to Ozempic, it has its place in helping those who need it.

00:31:29.531 --> 00:31:33.981
Here's the big problem, there's those who now, oh my god, I can lose 50, 100 pounds.

00:31:35.092 --> 00:31:42.616
Keep following the study, because I will say, and Louis, to your point, I don't recall the actual article that came out recently.

00:31:42.616 --> 00:31:56.537
You can Google it, but not only does it cause, a lot of short term challenges, there are a number of long term, permanent changes that are coming from taking this drug, such as, gastrointestinal issues where you're having problems with your stomach.

00:31:56.876 --> 00:31:57.797
Like long term.

00:31:58.156 --> 00:32:06.126
There's another, article, and again, I wish I had, I don't like to reference these articles without, citing them, but just Google this stuff, because it's out there, okay?

00:32:06.396 --> 00:32:07.797
There's more coming out every day.

00:32:08.487 --> 00:32:18.666
I can't keep up, but here's what you're finding and this one startling and it's true ozempic is eating into and more so it's getting into your muscle.

00:32:19.116 --> 00:32:21.317
Yeah, you lose back, but guess what?

00:32:21.436 --> 00:32:24.287
If you begin to lose muscle, what happens?

00:32:25.057 --> 00:32:27.277
Muscle is metabolism.

00:32:27.701 --> 00:32:40.082
When you begin to lose muscle and everything crash, then you're going to have a complete reverse compensatory effect where you're not going to be not only burn any fat, you're going to start gaining fat because now you don't have any muscle.

00:32:40.491 --> 00:32:44.682
So my whole point to that, listen, it has its place for what it's called for.

00:32:44.701 --> 00:32:47.021
And even then, this is coach Crane's viewpoint on it.

00:32:47.021 --> 00:32:49.071
Find ways to get off of the pill.

00:32:49.112 --> 00:32:50.461
Don't start anything.

00:32:51.011 --> 00:32:52.751
If you're not willing to do it the rest of your life.

00:32:52.912 --> 00:32:53.632
Don't start it.

00:32:53.951 --> 00:32:55.781
For those of you hopping on these pills.

00:32:56.332 --> 00:32:57.112
Be mindful.

00:32:57.142 --> 00:32:57.971
Count the cost.

00:32:58.231 --> 00:33:01.801
What I advocated and encouraged is get your mindset on point.

00:33:02.102 --> 00:33:08.051
If you need medications in areas because you have been neglecting your health, that's one thing.

00:33:08.061 --> 00:33:11.682
But if you're in a position where you can be preventive, put in the work.

00:33:12.166 --> 00:33:24.017
Take the time, work out, eat the foods as necessary, make the switch, and you won't have to have this, fiasco of, what pill to take, what shot, And so that's what I encourage and advocate Laurie, listen, I'm not selling anything.

00:33:24.017 --> 00:33:26.906
But what I find is people don't want to do the work.

00:33:27.257 --> 00:33:27.787
And yeah.

00:33:28.791 --> 00:33:37.112
And I think what people don't realize is when you do put in the work, which I sympathize with everybody cause it's really hard to get started, right?

00:33:37.271 --> 00:33:41.412
what you got to realize is the work is ongoing for life.

00:33:41.991 --> 00:33:46.902
if you put it in, it becomes a way of life and it no longer feels like work.

00:33:47.372 --> 00:33:49.791
your community becomes people who are healthy.

00:33:50.132 --> 00:33:55.321
And you're not tempted with cupcakes and alcohol all the time because it's not around.

00:33:55.332 --> 00:33:57.741
everybody you hang out with that just doesn't even come up.

00:33:57.741 --> 00:33:59.731
It's not even something you think about.

00:33:59.882 --> 00:34:00.352
That's right.

00:34:00.852 --> 00:34:02.632
Your dates might be walking dates.

00:34:02.642 --> 00:34:04.731
Romantically or professionally.

00:34:04.791 --> 00:34:06.721
I'm in Colorado especially up in Boulder.

00:34:07.132 --> 00:34:15.592
it's not abnormal to have a professional business meeting over a walk up a mountain, I'll call a CEO of a company and be like, let's go hike Sanitas.

00:34:15.592 --> 00:34:16.891
And we'll just go hike Sanitas.

00:34:16.891 --> 00:34:23.961
a small mountain outside of Boulder, you'll go climb that and Come back down and you've talked shop and before you know it, you've got a business deal done.

00:34:24.391 --> 00:34:28.882
It's incredible that, it all feeds upon itself you don't have to be in Colorado for that.

00:34:28.891 --> 00:34:30.931
You can find the community Anywhere.

00:34:30.942 --> 00:34:33.411
It really does exist everywhere, but you gotta work.

00:34:33.797 --> 00:34:35.737
You got to work to feel that community.

00:34:35.746 --> 00:34:42.317
You got to work to figure out, change that lifestyle and it's hard at first But it becomes second nature, Yeah, Go ahead.

00:34:42.387 --> 00:34:42.626
Yeah.

00:34:42.677 --> 00:34:58.672
I could keep going but I know man because listen i'm bitting at the chops here because you hit on something really key that I it's a big part of not only with wellness, but with Individual lives, limiting beliefs, faulty thinking.

00:34:59.242 --> 00:35:00.742
This is how I used to do it.

00:35:01.061 --> 00:35:02.431
It's always been that way.

00:35:02.512 --> 00:35:04.831
I come from a family that did this and did that.

00:35:04.992 --> 00:35:11.112
What you were talking about is the challenge we have of changing the way that we think and do things.

00:35:11.461 --> 00:35:13.822
That's so much easier said than done.

00:35:14.032 --> 00:35:18.722
So I'll give you one quick example just to bring this home, because what you're sharing is a direction everyone wants to go.

00:35:18.722 --> 00:35:20.166
It is hard because now you're.

00:35:20.302 --> 00:35:25.041
Bumping up against some beliefs that you've held for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 years.

00:35:25.262 --> 00:35:26.342
I'll pick one real quick.

00:35:26.581 --> 00:35:29.192
One of them that comes immediately to mind is listen.

00:35:29.192 --> 00:35:30.871
Who doesn't love to eat when you get with family?

00:35:30.961 --> 00:35:33.911
What does family do when we get together we eat?

00:35:35.172 --> 00:35:36.101
listen, let's get together.

00:35:36.101 --> 00:35:36.731
Let's get some lunch.

00:35:36.731 --> 00:35:37.572
Let's get some dinner.

00:35:37.722 --> 00:35:42.291
Let's do a cookout it's a family tradition when my family get together We throw cookouts.

00:35:42.331 --> 00:35:43.371
We do fish fries.

00:35:43.411 --> 00:35:47.141
It's a family tradition and it's been that way for 50 years with me.

00:35:47.791 --> 00:35:52.222
There's nothing wrong with getting with family, but just because You're with family.

00:35:52.222 --> 00:35:54.652
Doesn't mean you need to eat everything all the time.

00:35:54.731 --> 00:35:55.581
How do you do that?

00:35:55.641 --> 00:35:56.512
It's very easy.

00:35:56.601 --> 00:35:57.992
spend time with your family.

00:35:58.302 --> 00:36:00.922
The challenge is that you have to eat it.

00:36:01.092 --> 00:36:04.172
Everything that's put in front of you because it's a family tradition.

00:36:04.362 --> 00:36:07.581
Louie, the mindset of scarcity, we never really had much.

00:36:07.581 --> 00:36:08.871
So we got to hold on to what we got.

00:36:08.882 --> 00:36:17.782
You can put anything in that category and still you're dealing with something that is subjective or even unconscious in your mindset that keeps you in that stronghold.

00:36:17.811 --> 00:36:19.751
And so how do you break through that?

00:36:19.751 --> 00:36:23.012
We just talked about a great deal mindset and it takes time.

00:36:23.512 --> 00:36:25.442
You have to make the shift at each turn.

00:36:25.492 --> 00:36:28.911
I begin with food, exercise, lifestyle change.

00:36:28.911 --> 00:36:35.141
We have to make those shifts individually to take those same principles and use them in other areas of your life.

00:36:35.141 --> 00:36:41.302
And you make the switch and you begin to live the life that you always wanted, because now you think differently, right?

00:36:42.081 --> 00:36:45.442
you've done it when you shifted, right?

00:36:45.442 --> 00:36:48.672
And you knew that's your new norm and your old way.

00:36:49.197 --> 00:36:49.936
It's hard.

00:36:50.407 --> 00:36:53.186
For me to go to McDonald's is so hard.

00:36:53.206 --> 00:36:55.016
People go there all the time for all their meals, right?

00:36:55.047 --> 00:36:55.646
I can't do it.

00:36:55.806 --> 00:36:58.407
For me to sit down and watch TV all day, I can't do it.

00:36:58.686 --> 00:36:59.137
I just can't.

00:36:59.166 --> 00:37:00.166
I grew up on all that.

00:37:00.317 --> 00:37:01.766
I grew up going to McDonald's.

00:37:01.766 --> 00:37:05.936
I worked at McDonald's as a teenager, we had bring home nuggets for my family every day.

00:37:05.936 --> 00:37:09.686
And we sat around and watched TV all day, novellas and shows.

00:37:09.686 --> 00:37:11.336
And, it was like, that's the way it was.

00:37:11.367 --> 00:37:15.297
But now for me to sit down, it is a rare, treat, but it's not really a treat.

00:37:15.297 --> 00:37:15.817
It's hard.

00:37:15.867 --> 00:37:17.481
It's really hard for me.

00:37:17.711 --> 00:37:19.981
So you made the shift right there, right?

00:37:19.992 --> 00:37:24.291
So your normal now, actually took work if you think about it.

00:37:24.351 --> 00:37:24.811
Oh yeah.

00:37:24.891 --> 00:37:25.942
And now it's a norm.

00:37:25.952 --> 00:37:31.981
So if you turn it the other way and you make what's your normal now, actual work that's when, you've been successful, right?

00:37:32.672 --> 00:37:34.831
Total body transformation.

00:37:34.851 --> 00:37:35.501
That's it.

00:37:38.271 --> 00:37:39.161
No, that's great stuff.

00:37:39.492 --> 00:37:40.661
Now you getting going, man.

00:37:40.661 --> 00:37:41.572
This is good stuff.

00:37:41.612 --> 00:37:42.492
It was through running.

00:37:42.541 --> 00:37:47.391
I just wanted to continue running it wasn't even for fitness I just enjoy it.

00:37:47.572 --> 00:37:55.436
I don't know why but that's how I discovered it And that's how a lot of you relate with coach pain Oh, yeah.

00:37:55.487 --> 00:37:57.157
whatever it is that you love your passion.

00:37:57.166 --> 00:38:00.356
I'll say this I am in phenomenal shape sitting at 50.

00:38:00.356 --> 00:38:03.447
I'm very humble with that, but I love competing and bodybuilding.

00:38:03.447 --> 00:38:07.077
so I have to have balances and caveats and so forth with that.

00:38:07.402 --> 00:38:12.501
And, again, as the world keep evolving, I have to keep things in perspective of even with bodybuilding.

00:38:12.501 --> 00:38:16.771
And so I still compete right now and I'm just continuing to stay strong and healthy.

00:38:17.041 --> 00:38:22.552
a lot of the things that I learned in bodybuilding is helping my personal life and it also helps me to help my clients.

00:38:22.722 --> 00:38:24.382
So that's how I keep that funnel flowing.

00:38:24.581 --> 00:38:31.402
the discipline is insane, but it helps me, help others to reach that in other areas of their life.

00:38:31.416 --> 00:38:33.327
So I love it.

00:38:33.527 --> 00:38:39.007
So Erica, on that note, let's go onto our Wayfinder four.

00:38:39.277 --> 00:38:41.317
It's now world famous, by the way, since you've been here.

00:38:41.317 --> 00:38:43.282
It's the world famous Wayfinder four.

00:38:44.172 --> 00:38:48.036
You helped us get there, So anyway, Give us a hack.

00:38:49.117 --> 00:38:50.757
Whoa, man.

00:38:50.806 --> 00:38:54.677
My latest hack, and this may not be a hack for most, but it's a hack for me.

00:38:54.976 --> 00:38:59.407
Hire a virtual assistant How is it a hack?

00:38:59.556 --> 00:39:12.097
Listen, I have found if you spend time on things that whether you know it very well or don't know it, you start your business, you start your growth, you can delegate and get assistance from someone else.

00:39:12.257 --> 00:39:13.697
Now, does it have to be a VA?

00:39:13.706 --> 00:39:22.121
Listen, find somebody who was just This is good, not better than you alleviate that timeframe for that task stuff that you don't necessarily need to be doing.

00:39:22.192 --> 00:39:23.112
So you can shift.

00:39:23.302 --> 00:39:42.442
I just hired a VA to shift my energy into what I enjoy doing and that is giving my clients my best time, efforts and the coaching capabilities or the coaching accountability that they need and not plucking around with, meniscus tasks and I'm not saying that they're meniscus, such as email, text and call, but things we, I just don't need to be doing that.

00:39:42.641 --> 00:39:43.601
So hire a VA.

00:39:44.461 --> 00:39:44.902
I love it.

00:39:45.061 --> 00:39:47.972
Is there a platform you like for finding them?

00:39:47.972 --> 00:39:51.161
Actually, I don't know the platform this, virtual assistant is on.

00:39:51.172 --> 00:39:55.172
This is an independent virtual assistant, Francesca, and I can't think of her last name.

00:39:55.172 --> 00:40:06.431
I can definitely make reference for it, if you want, after the show, This is an independent, virtual assistant she was highly recommended from someone from my mastermind and I'm looking forward to working with her All right.

00:40:06.452 --> 00:40:13.472
How about a Favorite book man, you know the bible the word of god It's the best book that was ever written still the most read the most popular.

00:40:13.532 --> 00:40:21.362
I think it would likely ever be I'm gonna tell you why If you never read the Bible, you can just see the world unfolding.

00:40:21.431 --> 00:40:22.121
It's in you.

00:40:22.152 --> 00:40:24.711
You like to, to, acknowledge you or not.

00:40:24.922 --> 00:40:27.302
So much that has happened or continues to happen.

00:40:27.472 --> 00:40:28.592
has already been written.

00:40:28.711 --> 00:40:32.891
it helps me, from a spiritual aspect and staying connected to God in Christ.

00:40:33.161 --> 00:40:37.431
It helps me in the continuing to develop into the garlic woman God has called me to be.

00:40:37.601 --> 00:40:41.641
And then it helps me, just helping other people period make the connection.

00:40:41.641 --> 00:40:42.641
The choice is yours.

00:40:42.882 --> 00:40:42.981
Yeah.

00:40:43.021 --> 00:40:46.302
I don't beat people upside the head with it, but I think it's the greatest book that was ever written.

00:40:46.501 --> 00:40:48.452
And still, I think will be for a long time.

00:40:48.996 --> 00:40:49.376
Yeah.

00:40:49.806 --> 00:40:50.146
Yeah.

00:40:50.146 --> 00:41:03.856
Like you said, it's the most read and I don't want to take away from the Christian Bible but there's a million different religions and beliefs out there and they all have a spiritual book of wisdom it gets down to the same virtues.

00:41:04.016 --> 00:41:06.407
They just tell it in their own way that you can relate to.

00:41:06.697 --> 00:41:08.086
The Bible has great stories.

00:41:08.577 --> 00:41:14.777
you can relate to It's phenomenal, whatever your belief is, study your book because that's it.

00:41:14.786 --> 00:41:15.266
That's it.

00:41:15.746 --> 00:41:18.496
So what about advice for your younger self?

00:41:19.867 --> 00:41:24.047
If I had to give advice to the younger Erica, the younger coach Stay humble.

00:41:24.481 --> 00:41:28.521
Listen to experienced individuals who have been there, done that.

00:41:28.552 --> 00:41:31.072
Listen, they got some wisdom.

00:41:31.152 --> 00:41:38.501
Now I ain't gonna say everybody that's old has wisdom, but I'll say that somebody has been there, before you, and you can go so much further.

00:41:38.952 --> 00:41:40.001
You can do so much more.

00:41:40.001 --> 00:41:44.481
You can be so much successful making less mistakes than what they made.

00:41:45.001 --> 00:41:46.121
So that's what I encourage.

00:41:46.132 --> 00:41:47.152
Keep an open mind.

00:41:47.152 --> 00:41:47.762
You're young.

00:41:47.771 --> 00:41:48.541
You got energy.

00:41:48.871 --> 00:41:53.742
If I could tell Erica, keep an open mind, you might have heard this saying before, I forget who said it, it's not mine.

00:41:54.681 --> 00:41:57.831
The difference between a smart person, a wise person, right?

00:41:57.842 --> 00:42:04.192
The smart person goes out, does the thing, makes a mistake, and then corrects, never makes a mistake, the statement of the mistake.

00:42:04.192 --> 00:42:13.052
Again, the wise person goes out and find a smart person, learn from their mistakes, and they never performed them or do the mistake in the beginning.

00:42:13.771 --> 00:42:14.822
Chase wisdom.

00:42:14.922 --> 00:42:15.181
Yeah.

00:42:15.181 --> 00:42:17.222
I don't know where that's the old saying.

00:42:17.222 --> 00:42:19.771
It's not mine, but it has helped me a great deal in my life.

00:42:19.771 --> 00:42:22.972
that's what I would tell my younger Erica and younger individuals today.

00:42:23.617 --> 00:42:24.657
Oh, man, I love that.

00:42:24.657 --> 00:42:31.697
That's something I still need to work on because I just, I don't know why I feel like I just got to learn the hard way sometimes.

00:42:31.697 --> 00:42:32.847
And it's just nuts.

00:42:32.987 --> 00:42:33.907
I hear you, man.

00:42:35.586 --> 00:42:35.976
Anyways.

00:42:36.447 --> 00:42:37.726
Thank you for reminding me of that.

00:42:38.186 --> 00:42:40.356
So what about a big opportunity?

00:42:40.407 --> 00:42:41.376
This is a new one for you.

00:42:41.387 --> 00:42:42.726
A big opportunity out there.

00:42:42.856 --> 00:42:43.007
Yeah.

00:42:43.456 --> 00:42:51.827
Listen, I wanted to share, and I think we hit on a tad bit earlier, the online coaching program that I rolled out at the beginning of the year.

00:42:52.286 --> 00:42:53.806
Here's the big opportunity about it.

00:42:54.217 --> 00:43:01.657
I've had a number of individuals do a trial run with this online coaching and lost well, over 60 and 70 pounds in 12 weeks.

00:43:01.786 --> 00:43:03.956
Now, what's the big opportunity?

00:43:04.067 --> 00:43:09.447
Listen, this program that I've developed is effective live public and working.

00:43:09.447 --> 00:43:11.416
Now, I'm inviting individuals.

00:43:11.447 --> 00:43:32.746
If you are serious, committed, sick and tired of struggling with the pain, the hurt, the loss, consider this online program because, as we've been talking about this call is bigger than just eating a certain way or working out I want to help individuals transform their lives in every aspect it's been a big opportunity for me, Lori, because now I'm into my passion my gift, my calling.

00:43:32.746 --> 00:43:36.157
I love helping people have breakthroughs.

00:43:36.456 --> 00:43:41.436
it's a big opportunity for those who are interested because it's not too many programs out here like it.

00:43:41.731 --> 00:43:44.822
I work with individuals who have a lot of weight to lose.

00:43:45.302 --> 00:43:46.811
Now, here's the caveat.

00:43:47.172 --> 00:43:49.592
You're not going to lose 1500 pounds in a couple of months.

00:43:50.067 --> 00:43:57.347
But as you get on track and begin to take back your life, one pound at a time, you begin to make inner transformations.

00:43:57.347 --> 00:44:03.047
And I, when I say it's a big opportunity, the world that we're up against now, if you don't take care of your temple, I don't know who will.

00:44:03.876 --> 00:44:06.956
So your coaching, is it group coaching or one on one?

00:44:07.981 --> 00:44:12.242
It's one on one coaching, but we have group aspects where I do some online group coaching.

00:44:12.242 --> 00:44:17.351
I have online courses on different topics like fasting, food, workouts, movements, things like that.

00:44:17.362 --> 00:44:18.652
But it is one on one coaching.

00:44:18.681 --> 00:44:24.072
You have exclusive access to me, both live and, private counsel.

00:44:24.251 --> 00:44:27.882
And that's important because that's part of the accountability And it's on a weekly basis.

00:44:28.291 --> 00:44:28.771
That's great.

00:44:28.811 --> 00:44:32.442
And is there a community, that people become a part of as well?

00:44:33.322 --> 00:44:45.472
Oh, yeah, anybody that I shared before, you know It's part of a qualifying process I say qualifying because i'm looking to onboard individuals of like minded to foster a community of support and so we do I do have a online print a platform.

00:44:45.692 --> 00:44:57.137
Transform her And so I called it a bold and beautiful, total body makeover because there are many, women who are struggling with this challenge of trying to do it or do it alone.

00:44:57.297 --> 00:44:59.507
Now, here's the things I know we got plenty of fellows listening to.

00:44:59.507 --> 00:45:01.257
This is just saying, it just ain't for the women.

00:45:01.527 --> 00:45:08.797
I found Louie, that every single time you get your wife, your mom, or someone else on board, we always influence our men.

00:45:08.878 --> 00:45:12.097
And so I've coached and counseled a number of men as well.

00:45:12.476 --> 00:45:15.887
The only difference is men and women, but a lot of the stuff is still the same.

00:45:15.896 --> 00:45:18.786
The food and nutrition, you got your part and she has hers.

00:45:19.097 --> 00:45:21.106
Yeah, it's exciting.

00:45:21.106 --> 00:45:22.097
I'm very excited about it.

00:45:22.882 --> 00:45:23.481
I am too.

00:45:23.961 --> 00:45:25.291

00:45:25.291 --> 00:45:26.192

00:45:39.422 --> 00:45:42.331

00:46:03.157 --> 00:46:09.786
And of course, I do have the Facebook platform, transform her, the bold and beautiful makeover.

00:46:10.166 --> 00:46:14.126
I'm excited to continue to get acclimated with all of the social medias.

00:46:14.646 --> 00:46:22.507
Just looking to share, as much as I can for those who are searching it breaks my heart when I can't connect and, make the link to those who are searching.

00:46:22.507 --> 00:46:27.516
And so as I continue to get sharper and better the universe and God is poor folk enemy to help.

00:46:27.797 --> 00:46:30.186
I'm gonna spin it back out on these social media waves.

00:46:30.197 --> 00:46:38.708
