Show Summary: “Every cell in your body has fat, your nerves, and brain. Your brain is 60% fat; that&apos;s why fat is crucial for everything.”Cholesterol is the backbone you need to make all of your sex hormones. Every cell in your body has a phospholipid membrane that is made up of fat. That&apos;s why fats are so healthy and essential. But many started to fear consuming fats because of the epidemiological research done by Ancel Keys back in the 50s and 60s that demonized fats and said people who eat high fat die younger. But sadly, epidemiological studies are unreliable.People who take their vitamins on an empty stomach in the morning do not absorb vitamins A, D, E, and K without fats. Fat-soluble vitamins are delivered to damaged tissues in your body to heal & repair and to have healthy neural tissue and brain function. This is why lower total cholesterol is not helping your health in any way.Listen closely to this episode to know if saturated and unsaturated fats are good for your health. Discover what high-fat foods are incredible and nutritious to your body. And please help your friends and family remove their fear of cholesterol by simply sharing this with them.Exceptional Highlight:When you are healing, slow down because you&apos;re a human being. The pressure that we put ourselves under is not good for our nervous systems, bodies and souls.You have to have fats in order to absorb vitamins A, D ,E and K.Saturated fats are very tasty. If you eat these more and eat protein more, you&apos;re going to eat less carbs..Show Highlights:The update on JuaniqueJuanique 0:00:52 It&apos;s been a while since we&apos;ve podcasted. I haven&apos;t been on Instagram a ton lately. It&apos;s been tough for me to show up. I share this because many people have been following this journey of Tristin&apos;s passing. And what my process looks like and how our family is trying to heal from it. I want people to understand and know that healing and mourning are very up and down, it comes in cycles.Why is it so important for us to eat fat?Gina 21:15 First of all, so much of our bodies are made up of fat. So much of our brains, our hormones, our lipid membranes, it&apos;s incredible. And I think whenever we talk about hormones; especially, we see so many people so afraid of cholesterol and the egg yolks, right? But when you look at how hormones are made, it&apos;s that initial building block. Cholesterol is the first thing that you need to make all of your sex hormones.What happens when you eat saturated fat or unsaturated fat or trans fat?Juanique 28:42When you eat saturated fat or unsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fat, these are all found in nature and foods. When you&apos;re exposed to natural fats not made by man, your body has enzymes and the ability to break those down and utilize them. When it comes to trans fats, something made in the lab, your body hasn&apos;t got any capability of breaking this down in your body. So it creates a lot of inflammation and a lot of problems.Important LinksBig Fat Lies 1Episode with Diana Rodgers; author of the Sacred CowSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Big Fat Lies about Fats-Part 2

Show Summary: “Our real work is to teach our kids to trust themselves.”Human beings develop their belief systems and formulate how they see the world primarily by seven years old. That&apos;s why our upbringing greatly influences our perspectives in different life situations. Childhood experiences play a significant role in how we view things as an adult. Therefore, we must teach our kids and be with them as they process various emotions triggered by several events. We must show them how to trust themselves and be creative in communicating positive possibilities whenever they feel broken and sad. Be their guide and empower them with the view of curiosity so that you can train them to steer clear from limiting beliefs unconsciously.Listen closely to this episode as Britt Lefkoe, an amazing business and personal development coach, shares multiple ways how to guide the heart and mind of a child as they grow old. Find out how she worked with Tristin and how she helped him shift his pain into happiness.Exceptional Highlight:Self trust comes in so many ways from the ability to see that we can figure out our own answers.Once we trust ourselves, life becomes so much easier.The mindset is the most important part of your healing.Know more about Britt Lefkoe’s program:Healing the UnhealableThis four part course will teach you the keys to unlocking your own health, so you are empowered to release your mind&apos;s attachment to being sick and develop a mindset that supports your healing.“After seeing the impact my work had on Tristin, Juanique asked me to create a masterclass to help her clients experience the breakthroughs she watched Tristin have.” - Britt LefkoeIn the past decade, research has changed our understanding of the mind-body connection.

Healing The Unhealable- Updating Childhood Beliefs That Made You Sick

Show Summary: “Presence is the greatest present.”We often see pain as a red flag. When we were young, we were taught that it was a bad feeling. But actually, it can be beautiful as it can teach us a lot of things. When we feel it, it tells us to slow down and be with our body because pain is a compass to return to our true north and higher self.Your body feels different emotions for different reasons, and listening to them and letting them flow through you, is your medicine. Loneliness, defeat, and despair are painful, and crying it out is OK because it makes you feel better. And surrendering allows those triggers to heal.In this episode with Gina and Raj, they discuss masculine and feminine energy & how emotions change our physical chemistry towards healing. Listen as Juanique also shares the beautiful things she learned through Tristin&apos;s death that help her create a safe space for their children.If someone you know is in deep pain, please share this with them to help them process what they feel through the golden nuggets mentioned in this podcast.Exceptional Highlight:When you&apos;re present and slow with your body, it can magically do its work.Let the pain be your teacher and guide into your body.Children are one of our greatest teachers because they teach us to slow down and play.Show Highlights: How are Juanique and Tristin&apos;s loved ones doing four weeks after his passing?Raj 1:00I can still feel the amount of love from him in every moment, in the kids and the house. He randomly pops into my mind all the time. Gina and I talk about him quite a lot.GinaHe&apos;s a part of our lives. He&apos;s not a memory; he&apos;s an active part of our lives.How are Juanique’s children doing?Juanique 7:41I don&apos;t think there is a right way to prepare your children. The only thing you can do for them is doing the work to hold a really safe space that is loving and gentle for them. I think I&apos;ve done a great job of letting them feel the sadness. And then we&apos;ll hold each other in love and let it move through them.Intentions help you do things with love and energyRaj 16:27It doesn&apos;t matter if it&apos;s a workout or a desire to have a healthier life. The origin of the intent is the seed that heals. If you think that you&apos;re not enough, you will be in this rat race or the hustle culture that gives you more stress and makes you do more. It puts you in this place where your mind is in the driver&apos;s seat instead of your mind being in service to the heart.Our bodies will not heal in fear and stressGina 20:17The researchers at the Heart Math Institute look at heart rate variability and other health indicators that predict longevity and aging. They look at how joy, love, and gratitude directly change heart rate variability. They&apos;re all these different keys to longevity. So we have to have love and joy for our bodies to heal. Otherwise, we&apos;re out of sync and coherence.Important LinksConquering CravingsJuanique Roney IGGina Worful IGRaj JanaSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

How to Heal: From deprivation to Inspiration

Show Summary: “If you can get to the heart, the universe will pour itself into you because the universe loves you. You just have to be open to receiving it.”As most of you know, Tristin, Juanique&apos;s husband, life partner, best friend, the brains of Provo Health and Gutsy Health Podcast, passed away two weeks ago. And in this episode, Juanique shares how they turned a total-wrecked world into the most magnificent event in their lives.When Tristin&apos;s cancer came back, it became a very dark and painful experience for them. Tristin was so traumatized that he kept all his wounds to himself and chose to suffer in silence. But Juanique figured that all the heavy emotions cancer had caused them should be addressed so they can heal.Tristin underwent different therapies like Ketamine, Sanga & EMDR therapy to rewire the brain and help him deal with his battle. Juanique, who had been grieving from the very beginning, used techniques and tools throughout the past few months that helped her release her pain.It had been a tough journey for Juanique and Tristin, but their choice to undergo mental and emotional healing made their situation exquisite. The overflowing love from their family and friends made his passing so peaceful and calm. The beautiful synchronicities made his memories & legacy so remarkable like he truly was. Exceptional Highlight:You are not your body, you are the love that encompasses your body.Death showed us that we are not our body and that we are not the things we cling to.Love goes everywhere.

I checked Tristin and looked for his chest to see movement, and there was none. My friend Jalen,  a nurse, was in the room, and we locked eyes. And I said, "Tristin&apos;s not breathing."What were the things Tristin and Juanique did for healing?Juanique 29:14He did Ketamine and Sanga therapy, and it was amazing. He also did EMDR therapy, and what it does is helps rewire your brain and move traumatic memories to a different part of your brain so that it doesn&apos;t have that emotional charge anymore.The goose bumping beautiful synchronicities of Tristin&apos;s deathJuanique 53:14He was really close with his sister Brittany.

Conquering Cravings - How To Master Emotional Eating And Overcome Food Cravings

“Stop bringing in chemicals that are harmful to you and your family&apos;s health. Your home should be clean and safe because it is your SANCTUARY.”Your home is your safest place. That&apos;s where you rest, eat healthy and fun foods, spend time and build dreams with your loved ones. And because of the restrictions caused by the pandemic, sometimes there is no other choice for you but to stay home. But it can be quite alarming to know that even the simple things around your home can give you inflammation and worse, can poison you.The world runs differently right now, and many things are created to make your life much easier but can destroy your health faster even if you&apos;re at home relaxing, like the gadgets you use daily. Devices help you reach people who are far from you, and it automates your activities. Some products help you clean your house but slowly deteriorate your body.

15 Easy Steps To Create A Healthy Living Environment

Show Summary: “Give your brain a break, let it be the true hybrid engine that it wants to be, and quit depriving it of this alternative or additional fuel, namely ketones.”A lot of people have requested for Dr. Benjamin Bikman to be in the podcast again, and he&apos;s back with more valuable information that can save you and your family&apos;s lives! In the 89th episode, he discussed how glucose could kill and how it triggers different diseases when it goes up. Now, he&apos;ll discuss how it could affect the human body&apos;s neurological health.When the brain is hungry, it can cause neurological problems. It&apos;s because the brain can&apos;t get enough energy from glucose, and there are simply no ketones around to provide the alternative fuel. Sadly, people usually eat sugary & starchy foods that don&apos;t have ketones, depriving the brain of what it needs.Also, reductions in brain glucose use have been detected in those suffering from migraines which are also evident in Epilepsy and Alzheimer&apos;s disease. Listen carefully as Dr. Benjamin breaks down the lethal effects of glucose & lack of ketones in the brain. Share this with your friends and family and learn how to protect yourself from neurological illnesses by trimming down your sugar intake.Exceptional Highlight:If someone&apos;s eating french fries that have been fried in soybean oil, they are getting every fat molecule on there because the oil has become an oxidized or a peroxide version of itself.Insulin may take up to three hours or more to come back down to where it was before. If we can never stop eating, we bump it back up again before insulin gets back down to fasting or baseline levels.When ketones are available in the blood, the brain will get 75% of all of its energy from ketones.Show Highlights: Quick Recap: What is Insulin?Dr. Benjamin 3:52Insulin is a peptide hormone. It is released from our pancreas, and it tells every cell in the body to do something. And every cell in the body will respond to insulin in some way. Its most famous effect is what it does at fat cells and muscle cells, and that is to stimulate the uptake of glucose..How insulin and sugar affect neurological disorders?Dr. Benjamin 20:16 When the glucose metabolism rate in people&apos;s brains with mild cognitive impairment is measured, it is significantly down. It happens even with the early stages of Alzheimer&apos;s disease (even if it&apos;s not diagnosed yet), yet we see these detections. We can detect this reduction in glucose use; however, ketone use was normal.The best and easiest way to take care of your brainDr. Benjamin 49:56You don&apos;t have to go on some strict ketogenic diet or multi-day fasting. You don&apos;t have to be that extreme. Eat a reasonable dinner that isn&apos;t an overindulgence. It should have fat, protein, and even carbohydrates, then stop eating after dinner.Books mentioned: Why We Get SickImportant Linksgutsy.ch/gutworkshoptuesgutsy.ch/gutworkshopthursEpisode 89Dr. Bickman IGGet Health BlogSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Fifteen years ago, I ended up getting rushed to the hospital in the morning while I was getting ready for class because I collapsed on my bathroom floor. I was admitted to the hospital because of kidney stones. My surgeon said, "We&apos;re gonna blast out your stones." So I had surgery, and ten days later, I was in the hospital, declining, and no one could figure out why..How perception can shift your energy?Juanique 14:09You know that feeling when you fall in love with someone, and you&apos;re energized? You&apos;re so inspired, and you feel like you&apos;re floating on clouds. It&apos;s not because of that person. It&apos;s because of your perception of that person. That was all your energy shifting, and you shifted that energy because of your perception.How can you shift your energy?Dr. Elizabeth 19:59Ask yourself these questions:Who would I be if I had blank?What would I do if I already had blank?Then the last question is, how would I feel if I already had blank?                   You fill in the blank with what feels right to you.Books mentioned: Untethered soulBiology of BeliefImportant LinksHealthy TransformationsIG Master Sub VideoJuanique Roney IGGina Worful IGSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Mindset - The First Order of Healing

Show Summary: “When you improve gut health, you also improve dental health. Adding minerals back to our body helps heal the teeth.”A beautiful set of teeth makes you more attractive and confident. And dentists have different ways to do that. One of those is dental amalgam or silver fillings. You can also buy toothpaste with high fluoride content everywhere because it can prevent cavities or tooth decay.However, silver fillings and fluoride may not be the best solution to your tooth problem. Silver fillings have fifty percent mercury which is dangerous to your health, and fluoride makes your bones very brittle. Sadly, tooth decay is not the only dental issue that exists. Mouth structure can also be a dental health problem that can affect your breathing seriously.In this episode with Dr. Michelle Jorgensen, an author, speaker, teacher, biologic/holistic dentist, and health and wellness provider, you&apos;ll find out why malnutrition is a reason for your child&apos;s inability to develop healthy teeth. Don&apos;t forget to share this with your friends and family for tips on how to understand and take care of your teeth better.Exceptional Highlight:Unfortunately, Fluoride makes the bones brittle, leading to higher rates of bone fracture.An unhealthy diet can lead to long skinny, narrow faces & noses during growth and developmental changes, making it very difficult to get air into our bodies.The tongue&apos;s job is to form the upper jaw. If the tongue is unable to go up because it&apos;s tied down to the floor of the mouth, the upper jaw then becomes narrow because it doesn&apos;t have the force of the tongue going up and spreading the job..Show Highlights: Dr. Michelle Jorgensen’s storyDr. Michelle 1:39I was a general dentist, but I was getting worse and worse while I was taking great care of people. MRIs, doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists,  nobody could give me an answer. Until finally, I met another practitioner. He asked me if I had looked into mercury poisoning. He said, "It&apos;s the ones that you&apos;ve been drilling out for the last 15 years with no protection, breathing it all in."What are dental silver fillings made of?Dr. Michelle 4:49The silver fillings have 50% percent mercury. If you have one today, it&apos;s 50% mercury. Everyone says silver is one of the lowest percentage ingredients, like 20% silver, 50% mercury.What is Dr. Michelle&apos;s opinion on fluoride?Dr. Michelle 21:01People started using fluoride because they found that societies with higher fluoride in their water suddenly had fewer cavities. But what they don&apos;t tell you is it also had an increased incidence of hyperfluorosis, which is this high fluoride level that also affects the bones and makes bones more brittle.How does malnutrition affect your child&apos;s teeth development?Dr. Michelle 32:22My son&apos;s teeth were so messed up when we adopted him. I found out that the maxilla, the upper jaw, is the first bone impacted by malnutrition. So his jaw didn&apos;t grow because he didn&apos;t have enough nutrition to help it grow.Important LinksIAOMTDr. Michelle Jorgensen LinkedInTotal Care DentalSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Dental Health - How It Relates To Autoimmune & Other Body Health Issues

Show Summary: “When blood sugar stays in the bloodstream, it causes inflammation and damage to other organs.”Last week&apos;s episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman was a very beneficial & comprehensive education about insulin and blood glucose. He spoke about the biochemistry of what happens in the body when we overeat sugar and how we get sick from hormone dysfunction and inflammation.But for those who find it quite overwhelming and technical, Juanique and Gina created a short bonus episode for you, which explains the mechanism of glucose & insulin. They use different and simple analogies to help you understand better how to monitor the food you eat, the daily activities you do, and familiarize yourself with the terminologies you can use to educate your loved ones.Don&apos;t forget to share this with your family and friends who have listened to the Megamind episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman. Also, be sure to subscribe and follow us on our social media accounts, where we create more content that you need to live a better, healthy, and happy life.Exceptional Highlight:Even though coconut sugar, maple syrup & honey are nature-made, they still have tons of sugar and no fiber to stabilize blood glucose.If you have a 20-year-old liver versus the liver of an 80-year-old, the 20-year-old liver is going to handle the fruit beautifully.  But if you have the liver of an 80-year-old, you are not going to regulate all the sugar from the fruits you eat.Check your protein bars because many of them are around 20-25 grams of sugar, while your standard Snickers bar is 25 grams of sugar..Show Highlights: What is blood glucose mainly about?Juanique 2:00When talking about blood glucose, we&apos;re mainly talking about carbohydrates. And the most simple form of carbs is the monosaccharides.A great analogy of how carbohydrates workGina 12:09If you eat carbohydrates, they get digested and broken down. They&apos;re all linked together like a pearl necklace. Then each little pearl is like a little molecule of glucose. So when you eat a lot of carbohydrates,  they get flooded in the bloodstream really fast.What foods are high in sugar?Juanique 17:33Table sugar, any pastries, icings, cakes, cookies, fruit juices have tons of sugar. Soda has tons of sugar, even the healthy sources, I hate to say this, but coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, even though they are nature-made, they still have tons of sugar & no fiber to stabilize the blood glucose. What to check first in the food label?Juanique 23:41When you&apos;re looking at labels, you need to look at sugar first, carbohydrates second. So if it has zero sugars, but it has 60 carbs, that&apos;s still going to break down into sugar, and you&apos;ll still need a lot of insulin to break that down.Important LinksPodcast Episode with Dr. Benjamin BikmanJuanique Roney IGGina Worful IGProvo Health IGDr. Benjamin Bikman IGGutsy Health WebsiteSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Insulin, Sugar & Blood Sugar - An Explanation

Show Summary: “When glucose goes up, it can kill you.”Essentially, human metabolism is fueled by two energy sources, those are glucose and fat. But too much intake, especially of glucose, puts your health at risk. That&apos;s where insulin comes in, which keeps your blood glucose within the normal range.Every cell responds to insulin differently. So if a person has insulin resistance, it means that some of his cells are resistant (ex. muscle). While, some are sensitive as they were (ex. cells in the ovaries or on the adrenal gland), which sends the wrong signal to the body to produce more hormones and causes a vast dysfunction.In this episode with Dr. Benjamin Bikman, the author of the book Why We Get Sick, they break the misconception about insulin resistance. They also discuss why monitoring your insulin (not just your glucose) can be your lifesaver. Please share this with your family and friends to help us spread the word and save more people suffering from Diabetes and insulin resistance.Exceptional Highlight:Rather than looking at insulin as an anabolic hormone at the muscle, look at it as anti-catabolic. It prevents the breakdown of the muscle protein. And you don&apos;t need a big insulin spike to do that.If the mitochondria aren&apos;t working well, then there&apos;s no question. Virtually every chronic disease is waiting for you.We should be very grateful. Every time we&apos;re putting something in our mouth, we should realize that this came from something that was once alive. Whether it was a plant or animal and now its death can enrich us and help us live longer.Show Highlights: What is the book, “Why We Get Sick” about?Benjamin 1:32The premise of the book is maybe a good way to start. The idea is that metabolic health essentially underlies good health or disease, that when our metabolic health is in disarray, then the consequence will be chronic diseases.What would happen if glucose is high?Benjamin 12:09If glucose is high around the 200 milligrams per deciliter range for several hours, you will start to lose plasma volume or water from your blood as that glucose in that water is getting pulled into your urine.What is insulin resistance?Benjamin 16:55 It is the process where insulin is simply less able to do what it used to do in a cell. And, of course, every different cell responds to insulin differently. And so it&apos;s no surprise that when I say insulin isn&apos;t working well, that affects some cells more than others.What are the causes of insulin resistance?Benjamin 22:26One is chronically elevated stress. The other is inflammation. And then the third is you&apos;re eating a diet that is forcing your insulin levels to be up all the time. So chronically elevated insulin is a cause of insulin resistance.Important LinksWhy We Get SickDr. Benjamin Bikman InstagramGet Health BlogOther important linksSupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Insulin - The Root Cause of Disease

Show Summary: “We need sodium to help us adequately maintain our blood pressure. We need it to support our brain, our adrenals, and our digestion.”We need salt in our bodies. Studies from the American Journal of Medicine show that low salt intake causes more cardiovascular disease risk factors than extremely high intake. The adrenal, which produces cortisol, needs sodium to help our bodies adapt to stress. But we should know which type of salt to consume and not. Like other processed foods, salt can also be manufactured. Sadly, other manufacturers pull out the nutrients from it to make the cost cheaper, which you have to get rid of to avoid certain diseases.In this episode with Darryl Bosshardt, one of the founders of the Redmond Red Salt, you&apos;ll discover what natural whole salt is and its difference from the one you see in the market. In addition, you&apos;ll find out how the human body reacts to a salt substitute.Exceptional Highlight:Throw out the idea of looking for sea salt, and start looking for natural whole salt.Every single cell in the body requires sodium.Salt is a very inexpensive preservative, and it&apos;s even cheaper if it&apos;s manufactured because they&apos;ve already pulled out the nutrients. So if you&apos;re eating processed foods, you&apos;re getting high amounts of processed salt, which is a bad combination..Show Highlights: Is salt really bad for us, and should we eliminate it from our diet?Darryl 5:00Salt&apos;s job in the body is to regulate intracellular and extracellular fluids. So when those fluids are out of balance, it does cause, or it can cause problems. So these doctors did a study on rats and fed them copious amounts of sodium, and sure enough, they had some problems. And that&apos;d be true for everything.Does lack of salt affect your food digestion?Juanique 9:42If you&apos;re decreasing your salt intake, you don&apos;t have enough sustenance to create hydrochloric acid in the stomach to break down your food. Therefore, you&apos;re not absorbing your food and would have malabsorption. Consequently, you start to get sick. So we need this salt to get the chloride to pump it into our stomach to break down our food.What should we know about the world of iodized salt?Darryl 20:27Most people, especially women, are iodine deficient for several reasons, whether that&apos;s halogen toxicity, diet, or many different factors involved. Most people should be going out of their way to seek good sources of iodine, be that food or a good clean iodine supplement. But salt is not the way to get iodine.Important LinksRedmond Red SaltReal SaltThe Salt FixSalt Your Way to HealthIodine : Why You Need It, Why You Can&apos;t Live Without ItSalt: A World HistorySupport the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Lies You've Been Told About Salt

Show Summary: “There are so many people out there who want to heal but don&apos;t know how."Different illnesses are stressful and exhausting. What&apos;s more exhausting is the challenge of finding the right doctor who will walk you through the healing process patiently. That&apos;s a usual struggle for patients, and even Juanique, Gina, and Karalynne had experienced that.Karalynne had depression a couple of years ago. Before she found the right doctor for her, who practices natural healing, she went through different doctors who couldn&apos;t specifically tell her how to heal. Gina, who had gone through a health decline, felt that she wasn&apos;t healing the root cause of her inflammation after taking different supplements for each symptom. Juanique, who had graves disease, found her way out of it on her own.It&apos;s indeed physical, mental, and emotional pain for whoever is going through it. That&apos;s why the three of them created a summit for you to understand better how you can help your body heal using the tools they&apos;ve been using in their practice.

I knew that something had happened in my body. I hadn&apos;t always dealt with depression. I thought my body could heal this. I knew it could, but I just didn&apos;t know how.Healing is possible Juanique 8:17I grew up in a household where my mom taught me about health and that my body can heal. When doctors started telling me, "No, you can&apos;t heal," I was like, "That&apos;s ridiculous." I know I can, and then I just figured it out by myself. I was given tools and programs from a young age. Then when my husband got cancer, and doctors said, "He doesn&apos;t have much time," I told them, "You&apos;re wrong."What kind of summit have Juanique, Gina and Karalynne created for you?Karalynne 14:40It&apos;s going to be a conference or a summit that when you walk away, you will feel empowered, that you can do something about your own health, that you can make choices to begin a healing journey and to make your life just full of health and so that you can live your best life possible.How to get a $50 discount for the summit?Juanique 19:00Ticket sales are going to be launched on May 3.

Your Body Can Heal

Show Summary: “Women have such delicate hormones. They experience shifts at different times that make them feel that their body is at war against them.”Women are natural nurturers. They are great at multitasking, particularly in taking care of their children, working, and doing household chores. But as they age, they experience different issues in their bodies, such as weight gain, loss of libido, and loss of energy.These issues cause mood changes, difficulty to stay in shape, and usually have crazy cravings. And it doesn&apos;t only happen with moms, even in single and younger women, which is quite alarming, especially for the younger generation.In this episode, Juanique and Gina discuss the other possible reasons why you don&apos;t feel like yourself because of these shifts in your body, their personal experiences and how you can prevent it from happening. Listen as they talk about the program they created for you to heal yourself using the tools they have in the roadmap.Important LinksBe a part of The Gutsy Health Membership nowExceptional Highlight:There can be a time and a place for cardio, but from a hormone balance perspective, keeping it short and doing things like Yoga, Pilates, strength training might be a lot better.If your hormones are all over the place, you should take an honest look at your stress. If you&apos;re stressed, that&apos;s going to take priority, and all your other hormones will drop.Sleeping resets everything; it brings inflammation down..Show Highlights: Why do we gain weight and lose our libido as we age?Gina 2:14I think for me, it was a combination of trying to heal my body from birth control, being under so much stress. I remember waking up in the morning, and I don&apos;t even feel like myself anymore. I don&apos;t feel positive anymore. And I was using caffeine and coffee to get me into a good mood.How our hormones and organs work togetherGina 11:05The main ones that I&apos;m thinking about are your sex hormones. You have your estrogen or progesterone, your testosterone. These hormones are like a symphony. Your estrogen, that&apos;s what&apos;s going to drive you for reproduction, that&apos;s what&apos;s going to support you to have sex & have a baby; that very juicy hormone there. Your testosterone is more like your metabolism.What happens to your cortisol level when you&apos;re not sleeping?Juanique 27:22When you&apos;re not sleeping well, you will have a higher cortisol level in the morning.Gina  27:45There&apos;s a research study where they deprived mice of sleep, and I can&apos;t remember how long it took. But after a certain amount of time, they all get diabetes.What’s inside the Gutsy Health Membership?Juanique 46:17Gina and I have put together inside The Gutsy Health Membership these incredible units that deep dive into the dysfunctions, and we give you tools to help you become the expert in your own healing.Every month, each member is emailed a discount code to use on Provo health or Honestly Essential, so you get 10% off of everything all the time.Support the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)

Why We Lose Libido As We Age

Show Summary: “Take the reins of your subconscious; The embodiment of your power.”All human beings have experienced stress, toxicity, or trauma, which changed their perception of life. Some survived it, but some are still living in their dark past, which negatively affects their way of thinking and ability to make decisions.Implanting different subconscious programming to human beings&apos; minds since childhood takes them away from knowing their real identity, contributing to someone&apos;s suffering. But to heal is to grow; to grow is to heal. No matter how difficult or challenging it may sound, it can be simply done if you know the right tools and steps.That&apos;s why Juanique, together with Audrey Taylor, have created a workshop to help you change your current mindset and thought patterns and help you reclaim your power back and take charge of your life. Their goal is to teach you how to fill your love and energy cup and attract the caliber of relationship & results you have with yourself.We’re offering you a 50USD discount on the workshop, during this episode!Important LinksJoin The Workshop - Get 50 USD Discount or use the code EARLYMASTERExceptional Highlight:Trauma doesn&apos;t come through intellectually; It comes in emotionally and energetically.Your trauma is not your fault, but it&apos;s your responsibility to heal it.I create my future by releasing the past.All betrayal is self-betrayal..Show Highlights: What kind of workshop are Juanique and Aubrey putting up?Aubrey 4:30We are designing for you all a beautiful Master Your Subconscious Workshop. We have been talking about the tools that people are using that are getting them a little bit of progress, but then maybe they plateau, flatline, or fall flat on their face, and they feel like they try, but it just doesn&apos;t work. So we wanted to talk about some of those things that maybe have a little bit of positive change but aren&apos;t like the full shebang, and you feel stuck.What do we do to heal?Juanique 8:23Something that you&apos;ve mentioned to members in the past is that we have to have an identity crisis for us to heal. And that is terrifying. In fact, for most people, that&apos;s probably scarier than facing your disease because your disease feels tangible. The identity crisis is who you are, and this is your ego. We have to go back to the beginning and recognize our part in playing out these stories and energy.What is the victim-villain-hero analogy?Juanique 17:54Often, when we are in a situation that doesn&apos;t serve us, we play the victim, and there&apos;s a villain out there who&apos;s attacking you, and you want a hero. Part of the identity crisis is saying there are no victims, and there are no villains, there are no heroes, there&apos;s just being accountable for your part.Three things to do in the workshop to solidify change Aubrey 29:14We need something that is going to initiate a real subconscious shift. That would be an immersive workshop, not a seminar, not something where you are a passive participant and recipient of all this information.We’ll be (1)  teaching you, and then (2) you’ll be teaching each other and (3) we’ll be standing by as you practice independently.Support the show (https://www.mygutsyhealth.com/gutsy-family)
