Hello, my name is Yvette brisco. And I'd like to welcome you to farewell fat diets, where we're going to be talking to Dr. Amit, other Raul about the port of weight loss that I think is is one of the most important. And that's the mind body connection. And I'm gonna let him introduce himself and tell you a little bit about his background. But the reason that I choose to have him on the show for you today is because when I was starting my weight loss journey, the way that I looked at myself, and my self esteem, the connection that I had to knee was off. And so it made it more difficult, more challenging for me to have any successes, and I know with a lot of people, if that part isn't in place, then you either don't lose the weight or you lose some of it, but it comes right back.

So he's talking to us a little bit about how we can change that. change how we view ourselves and actually have our mind help to heal the body. And make it so that we are in an optimal place to be able to lose weight. So welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Thank you, Yvette and greetings from Kenya everyone. I'm a naturopathic doctor and a psychotherapist and a belief systems coach.

And if you bring up a wonderful point about if self esteem is not healed, then it might be more difficult to lose weight. And there's many reasons for that. One is okay, when self esteem is missing, there's a lot of self doubt. Yeah, and there's a lot of self sabotaging behavior as well that comes along with low self esteem. And with self doubt and self sabotaging behavior, you're less likely to be motivated to exercise or to follow a diet or even to motivate yourself to just follow the right path in terms of weight loss, right eating habits, and I'll talk about that later on in the talk and It's not only about diet, it's about reducing inflammation, resetting your adrenal system and detoxifying your liver. I'll cover some of that.

So don't worry. The other reason for emotional healing, I've often seen people actually put on weight as a self protective mechanism based on certain beliefs they developed during childhood. Now, some of these, I guess, beginnings of putting on weight are from difficult childhood experiences. It could be rape, it could be trauma, and these need to be healed as well. You know, some people unfortunately, unfortunately, try not to judge it as good or bad. Some people they do keep on the way in order to avoid attention, actually, to protect the body from abuse again.

And then later on in life, they struggle and they have self esteem issues like Why am I not losing this way, and they feel worse about themselves. And through a very delicate hand holding process, I'll work with people to reach that vulnerable side of them that was abused or taken advantage of, or just whatever reason it was that created, created there need to create a boundary around themselves. And once we, once we heal that boundary, once we give back to that person, their self belief, their self love, their sense of not being threatened anymore, so they can read again. Yeah. And when they dig that deep breath and they can see the world from that fresh place, the part of them that was existed before the abuse happened, then motivation does come back self criticism reduces. That's like, gosh, I look forward to healing myself.

I look forward to taking care of myself because I'm worth it now. Absolutely, what happens is we deny ourselves our self worth, after an abuse, in a way almost to match the abuser, right? It's like we mirror our experiences with our subconsciousness. And I train people how to become aware of that self sabotage of that compensation in self belief. Yeah, that comes out of loyalty to that experience, how do we let go of loyalty to those negative experiences? How do we give back to those experiences the energy that belongs to that time?

And how do we regain our sense of self our sense of confidence without the without the conflict with the past without the internal battle, you know, some people believe that confidence is saying a few excuse my language to the event. And that's there's a lot of aggression there. But inside behind that aggression, there's a lot of pain, a lot of weakness, a lot of fear. And I honestly believe the right path to confidence is really loving that fear loving that part that got hurt. And forgiving the self for experiencing confusion, experiencing loss, experiencing lack of support. Yeah, and even forgiving the space and this is a new exercise I created.

We'll do that later on in the talk, forgiving the space around you for not saving you. It's a very powerful experience working with a lot of my patients. And when we do that, when we forgive everything around us, we regain that sense of calmness, that sense of like, Okay, this is me sense of self. And then you can talk to yourself without fight without the fighting. And through that way, it's easier to take Tips to lose weight or to heal a disease and to feel emotionally resilient. So anxiety, even anxiety and depression and OCD and other things reduce with this method.

Do you think that when that internal dialogue is happening, and and we have that tendency to self sabotage, do you think that that's part of maybe even if we have a nutritional plan that typically would work, that we start to sabotage that as well? Because it seems like you know, if we're in a self protective mode, then we look at that in different ways, and we have different ways of protecting ourselves. And so maybe that is the thing that, yeah, I'm following this plan, but I think I'm gonna substitute this thing for that thing, because you I mean, and it's not really because it tastes different or it's better or anything like that. It's just more of that internal dialogue that we have going on. Right. So, sometimes the dialogue is there and we're conscious of it sabotaging.

Sometimes that internal dialogue is not even there and subconsciously we end up sabotaging ourselves. And it's not only abuse For example, I had a patient who did not want to look better than her younger sister because I think it was making her younger sister feel worse. Yeah, from a young age, there was this thing. So annoyingly, she was almost trying to create a better space for her younger sister at a young age, right? And in adulthood, of course, like so. Early on childhood, a lot of giving up of self care.

And it becomes very chronic and in adulthood. We think it's part of her personality. We don't even recognize it as a behavior or something wrong. We're saying Just like, Oh, I don't need to do that I don't need to do that. And that I don't need to do that is it becomes a lazy habit, it's the easier way out because it's become a habit. Although it was a very painful habit in the very beginning, sure.

And when we become aware of the pain behind the habit that we think is easy to do now, when we become aware of the pain behind the habit, we let it go. Yeah, and it's easier than to take back some cell value and come into our, into ours into self love, really. And in that place of self love, when we let go of those negative thoughts, negative behaviors. We relish self care, actually healthy food begins to taste better. Feeling good becomes more valuable to us. Because it's like oh, While I do feel good, I feel I want to say it's like, all the layers are shed and we become more in line with our light perceive our true path.

You know, and we're in line with the light. I think nature has a natural tendency to heal itself. When you cut yourself, you heal naturally, you know, things regenerate in nature. And therefore, I believe when we are in our light, when we ever shed away these layers of compensation of trauma or negative belief systems, we're more connected to that natural healing response that we have within us innately. Boom. physiological response then, even though it's a lot of it, it's mental, it's emotional.

Then there becomes a physiological response your your body actually physically responds to achieving that place of wellness and healing mentally. Absolutely. We see it all the time, actually in normal Medical cases for example, somebody who gets stressed gets an answer. There's a physiological response. Because Stress Stress, actually, you know, shallows, your breathing and your diaphragm does not move up and down as much. And therefore your liver is not massaged well enough.

So your liver is not detoxifying. And in Chinese medicine, when you have a stagnant liver, it contributes to issues with the stomach. Yeah, so through breathing, and then the diaphragm and then the liver impact on the stomach, you can see how stress can contribute to an answer. That's that's like a general explanation. It's not the exact scientific method, but sometimes science doesn't have the right words to explain what Chinese medicine explains Yeah. Now, the other thing is, when you are stressed, when you see a lion, or you met with bills and stuff like that, you get this fight or flight response, the stress response, and you make adrenalin now so through an external experience and external emotion, you get a physical logical response.

Your adrenal glands produce adrenaline. Now imagine if you're traumatized or you grew up in a very difficult home where there was no safety or whatever. your adrenal glands are always in fight or flight response. And they develop a pattern of overcompensation. And so they become vulnerable or weaker over time in adulthood. And these leaves that set in during childhood, they remain in the subconscious during adulthood.

Yeah, and those beliefs are driving your adrenal system in a certain way during childhood, and they will continue that effect on your whole physiology in adulthood. And so people who are very stressed and went through trauma, they're more prone to Adrenal Exhaustion and low thyroid function, and adrenal glands and your tire are key towards keeping a healthy metallic lism and burning fat weight loss. Sure. The other thing that's important is a lot of people trying to lose weight or thinking they have to get rid of fat, but it's really inflam. It's an inflammatory issue. And so people who are stressed have higher cortisol levels, or imbalanced cortisol levels.

And with many of my patients actually see more water retention than a fat issue. Yeah, and when we reduce inflammation, using special hurts, homeopathics working on the liver, and I walk people through that, then we reduce inflammation in the body, and therefore we have less water retention and less cortisol imbalance. And so losing weight is much, much easier when you deal with inflammation. Yeah, so it's not only about eating less or things like that, yeah, we got a target inflammation. And now that's from inflammatory foods as well as, like I said, I'm just going to repeat myself a bit, so listeners can hear about this. Sometimes.

So, weight gain is due to inflammation from the foods we're eating, which causes the cortisol imbalance and therefore also water retention and also, trauma creates adrenal fatigue and low thyroid function. And there that also creates cortisol imbalanced and low metabolism and therefore weight gain as well as two factor to you, and that's why it's important to eat right as well as your emotions. So when we are talking about, you know, the, the thyroid, and you know, all of this systems, people really don't connect what's going on in your mind to those parts of it, right? And so like, I have multiple sclerosis, and for a long time, I didn't realize that Well, first, inflammation is a really big thing for people with the math right when we have when we get come out of remission, it's because there's inflammation And present in our body. But stress levels are really bad for people with MS. And we don't always associate the stress and the cortisol with you know what we're thinking and that that mental process that that's happening so how do you bring that awareness to people just in their everyday life?

So you know if I'm if I'm not if that's not Toma are Top of Mind awareness for me, what do I need to do? Make sure that I'm considering that I'm thinking about it and I'm including it in my day to day processes, so that I can find out so that I can, you know, take steps to be measured and to not add to that beautiful question. Okay. So I'm gonna answer this in. There's two angles to this. Okay.

So one is meditation, breathing exercises, all those things that calm down the nervous system. Yeah. And this nofollow biggest node, which is a is related to parasympathetic. So the resting state of your body. And when you deep breathe stimulates the vagus nerve and it calms everything down. And the biggest nerve actually releases different chemicals in your body, and actually into into science as well, because it's different multiple cytokines and neurotransmitters to be released.

And that changes your entire physiology. And they've done studies on that already. Okay, that's coming system now. Now, the second angle, which is very, very important, and people often forget this is why do you get stressed in the first place? Right? One person gets stressed in the line, the other person doesn't get stressed because the first person has a traumatic experience a memory with the lion.

So your upbringing, all these belief systems that you grew up with, trigger your stress response in adulthood. And sometimes we don't even know about it. And that's why I coach people to really visit The difficult places in their life and sense what beliefs are they operating with based on those initial experiences? And are those is that behavior as relevant today as it was in the primary experience in the first experience, and if it's not, if like the the monster has disappeared in their life, or they believe that it can disappear, then the body comes down. And then next time they're exposed to maybe the big boss who looks a certain way reminds them of their abusive uncle, whatever father, that stimulation reduces, the stress response reduces, right? So very important is to do trauma therapy.

And so what I do is either EMDR which is eye movement techniques, we will do that over Skype or tapping on your family constellations, which is amazing, hopefully We'll have time to talk about that or another day. All these things shift the internal response, the innate response, the biological response to memories. Yeah. And once that heals, the person is less prone to stress and therefore, less prone to inflammation and cortisol imbalances. So one is actively calming the system down, that's meditation, reading exercises, some x, an exercise, physical exercise, yoga, and all that. The second one very, very important is to heal the trauma.

Extremely important. Now, a lot of people and hopefully we're going to be able to get rid of some of these myths as the series goes on. But a lot of people believe that, you know, you have to go and spend four hours in the gym in order to be effective with your exercise program and stuff like that. And so then when they don't see This tremendous response from their body that they were expecting because of all the hours that they're putting in. I think that that causes even more stress. You know, because they have a sense of failure and a sense of desperation and all of these things.

So when they're feeling that they're still generating cortisol, aren't they? Absolutely, like the the general system is basically shutting down like the cortisol response changes depending on the level of adrenal fatigue and balance. Yeah, initially as a higher cortisol eventually, sometimes the levels are too low because we're just burnt out completely. And during burnout, of course, and then you're not you don't have enough metabolism in a fire in your system to burn fat right. So there's many factors that one needs to deal with and so if you're jamming a lot and you're not getting results, look at Are you eating inflammatory foods, have you detoxify the liver, and you'll be putting a link on the free gift. They'll have on to detoxify the liver and things like that, then, you know, what, what is the benefit of a low metabolism or not losing weight?

Are you safer in your neighborhood, for example, in a certain way with this much weight on you, you know, it could be genetic, there could be other explanations to it. And the key thing is to forgive yourself first, because self love is really the deepest healing one can begin. And through self love, we begin to choose what is right for us at the right pace. If you exhaust yourself with nervousness and self criticism, and all that metabolism goes down, you're going to feel crap, you're going to get depressed. And with depression, you're going to be less motivated to exercise less motivated to eat. Right?

Right, because with depression, of course, we start binge eating with carbohydrates and salty foods and all that you got the sugar spikes the week in the water retention. So it's really calm yourself down. can do self forgive. You know, there's a lot of forgiveness exercises that we can do. Um, yeah. It's, it's a vicious cycle.

How does that work when, you know, at my largest I was 230 pounds. And I'm kind of short by four and a half and half is important. And so when I would look in the mirror, right, it didn't matter if I had great self esteem in every other area of my life. When I looked in the mirror, I wasn't pleased with what I saw. And I was squeezing into a size 18 because I didn't want to buy clothes that started with the number two. Unless that was it.

It was just a two right so I should have been in a 20, maybe a 22. But I refused and so squeezing into these size 18 because I have a psychological block on going to that next higher number of moon So if it's that important that we, you know, heal the mind in order to get to the body healing, but I have evidence in the mirror of where I'm deficient, how do we start to change that kind of mindset? You know, like, how do you stop what's happening with the eyes and start the the, you know, the mental conversation instead? Because that's really hard to do. man asked how you lost that weight first in the first place? Well, here's the thing.

I started with nutrition, you know, changed the way I was eating. And I had a an orthopedic surgeon tell me that if I didn't lose the weight that he was going to have to do total knee replacement surgery on both my knees while I was still young. And it was really hard for me to do things with my children, single mom, with that much weight on you had asthma attacks all the time. Just had a lot of physical stuff going on. And so I started with that. Nutrition, then added some exercise.

Yeah. Yeah. So people, yeah, you can have high self esteem in many areas. And maybe you are not happy about your way. It doesn't mean being in denial and saying, Hey, you know, I should be happy about my weight. And that, you know, it's like a catch 22 Some people think it's like, how do I say it?

They blame themselves for not being happy about the way but there's no shoulds in life, you know, don't feel pressured at all. I'm happy about everything and I should be happy but my way. Why should you be happy about your weight? I know, I'm just kind of saying what? opposite of what I was saying before that you should love your weight. I didn't really say that.

It's more like forgiveness, self forgiveness. The key thing is stop criticizing yourself first. Yeah. And you can say you can look at it as a positive aspect. Look, if I lose that This way, I'm going to feel healthier and happier. Because if you look at what you want to achieve, rather than where you're stuck at, you'll create the steps to get to where you want to achieve.

So for example, it's like okay, if I'm healthier, if I lose this weight, I'll be healthier and on my knees will be better. Then I'll be motivated, say, okay, you know, what, what can I do? I can change my diet, I can exercise I can reduce inflammatory foods, which is very different mindset from saying, Chip, have a look, I look like, I look horrible. I look horrible and just ruminating on what's wrong. Because in that mind space, when we ruminating on what's wrong, there's no space in the mind of solutions. And that goes hand in hand with the law of attraction, right?

If we focus on what's wrong, there's actually no mindset of having solutions. We never manifest what goes right in our life until we think of what's the best positives of losing weight. Yeah. What's what's, where will I end up? How would I feel in the end? Yeah, I'll have less pain.

And we're more motivated to say, I know I'm repeating myself, but it's just, I want you to get the difference between the rumination and self criticism versus looking at positive aspects of where I want to get to. Now, there are some extremes where they put in the magazine's, you know, like, skinny people and all that stuff. And that's very damaging to people's self esteem. And, you know, like, they've done studies where sexuality is actually not better with good looking people. You know, that's very mistaken concept in our mind. You know, obese people, overweight people or even not.

People have wonderful sexual experiences. Right and use this knowledge to also give away those images of like very skinny people in bikinis and stuff and say, Hey, you yourself deserve health, whether you're obese or you know, not super perfect. You deserve a good life. You deserve to feel healthy in your body and like and just active. Start from there. Don't start from I'm not good enough.

And I need to do something but is not good enough because that itself is very damaging to your progress. Right? It's a bit convoluted, but psychology psychotherapy is convoluted because it's working against people's normal path of thinking. Sure, you know, we're going to explain the thinking that we assume are the real way or normal way of thinking. And though that normal way of thinking has been created by indoctrination and magazines and society, and we believe this is the right way to think and it's like completely, not congruent with our spirituality, our normal spiritual essence. So what If that makes a lot of sense, but what if the what's happening or what's giving us that resistance to picturing ourselves in a different light is external.

So if I, you know, walk to the corner store every day, and there's somebody who's outside who, you know, calls me the fat chick, then you know, I'm gonna even like wear my shields to block that when I'm encountering it, because we live in the real world, right? We can't just completely avoid those external influencers, who say and do things that make us feel bad about ourselves. So I mean, you know, we've already established the importance of the mind body connection. So we're how do we put up a shield to be able to stay especially once we get to the point where we can see that where we started recognizing it and incorporating it. Yeah, what we're doing, how do we keep that progress and that momentum if we have external people or things that are trying to pull us back? Mm hmm.

Okay. Let me meditate on that for a moment. So, when we are attacked by external influences, I cannot stop that attack. I don't even know. You know who, who can change that person's mind. Now, one, one step to do is to recognize the lack of education, that person's mind.

Yeah, lack of compassion. And Marianne Williamson, wonderful, wonderful lady, she wrote, what's it called, she studies the Course in Miracles and stuff like that. And she says, Just pray for the forgiveness of that person. And based on that you actually you You create an energetic cycle that creates a lot of healing in your own life. So a lot of abuse comes from a lack of education in that other person's mind in the abusers mind. Yeah, verbal abuse.

And one person might say, well, that is comforting myself. There's nothing wrong with completing itself. Also just becoming aware that they are not aware of your situation. They've never walked in your shoes, they don't know that you will traumatize are you to hide your beautiful self? Yeah. Forgive them for that.

And there's other tricks, I'm sure and I cannot do a whole psychotherapy session on like, the all the listeners here, but maybe go for therapy go for coaching. There's no harm in it. Right? And look at how we can find resilience. How do we absorb the energy of other people's opinions? And how learn how to give back that energy.

And we do especially as we should just give back That energy, the negative feelings and thoughts to that person to my memories. Because sometimes the person who abuses you cause you the fat chick or something will trigger a memory of when you were bullied as a child. And so you'll get that feeling of small based on your childhood memory. And when we heal that sometimes this other person in adulthood, when you're an adult, this person calling you the fat chick will actually look like an idiot. Or an uneducated person, you'd be like, Wow, man, you know, and they won't affect you as much. So I'm not saying that's the solution for everything, but I really think it's important to work on childhood trauma in order to create resilience in the adult.

Okay, it really works. I've seen it over hundreds of patients like it really works well. So when once we have gotten to that point, right Where we're comfortable with ourselves even though we are, we haven't reached our destination of we're comfortable now with the journey and the process, we started the self healing. And we are seeing progress from that. What do we need to do to to sort of step that up? Because, you know, you hit these plateaus when you're doing the same thing, and I'm going to assume and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm going to assume that you can hit a mental plateau just as much as you hit a physical plateau.

So what do we do to prevent that? To sort of head it off at the past so that we don't have to experience that because hitting plateaus or, you know, those are almost depressing in and of themselves and you feel a little discouraged when it happens? Absolutely. So hitting a mental plateau can be multiple reasons. One is like literally physical burnout. You know, your adrenal glands are completely burnt out.

And maybe you need herbs like rhodiola ashwagandha, depending on what your naturopathic or herbalist prescribes. And when we heal the adrenal system, when your metabolism just your energy, your mentality picks up again. Okay? I'm hitting a mental plateau as well, it's important to hire a coach, plain and simple, you know, you cannot do everything yourself, hire a coach invest in that it's worth it. It'll save you a lot of trouble in the in the future. You know, we need people around us because unfortunately, society nowadays is quite fragmented.

And the lifting community more supportive and more loving. You know, weight is not such a big issue. I mean, I live in Kenya. And I see a lot of large people very happy and like, not you know, self esteem issues actually is like pushed. In fact, in some cultures, you know, the bigger certain parts are, the more beautiful the person It's a sign of vitality and health and just prosperity. So, it's really working with a coach and undoing certain beliefs and understanding that you are borrowing a belief system from indoctrination and generations.

And it's your responsibility to become aware of what you were born and become aware of your individuality. Yeah, of your individual spirit and understand that your individual spirit is a missed society that has a lot of influences. And I believe it's your responsibility, responsibility to really recognize, influences indoctrinations common beliefs and notice if you're boring from them, being influenced by them and forgiving yourself are being influenced by them and begin to allow the vulnerable part of you to live amidst the society and not be so washed over by their opinions and things because they are the people in society are lost. Very last, you know? I mean, they're no more intelligent than anyone else out there. They're they're like sheep following what has been put in magazines?

Literally. Yeah, you know, no one really thinks for themselves. Yeah, they literally they just follow the opinion. That's either from magazines, from the media, from TV, or from previous generations. And in previous generations, some of the thoughts were created by people, no more intelligent than you and I and yet their beliefs have been passed down as truth bizarre. You I mean, female circumcision was like the truth of reality in certain cultures here, and now, people are, you know, stopping in pushing it away.

But at one point, it was a necessary thing to do. And now a lot of people are fighting against it because they realize, I don't know the maybe it's not the right thing to do for certain people. And so in the same ways, there are beliefs that are permeating our minds in the collective consciousness that are destroying love, and harmony amongst us all. And it's time we as a society, everyone just recognize that some of these belief systems, they don't belong to love and spirit anymore. Right. Right.

So if we could give the listeners three steps you know, they're coming with from a place where, you know they've they've reached the end of the road. They know that they can't continue the way they've been going. They're ready to commit to losing the weight. So they're ready to commit to becoming healthy and and changing the lifestyle. What's the first thing that you tell them to do? Honestly, reduce inflammation.

I know this talk is about emotions and all that but the first step for weight loss, reduce inflammation, you know, we dairy, coffee, all those inflammatory foods, and then heal the gut. And in my online course, I talk about how to heal the gut. And then second step is detoxifying the liver. Because remember, toxins create inflammation, and your liver is in charge of your hormones and digestion and many things and enzymes. And if your liver stagnant, forget it. It's very difficult to lose weight, because your liver detoxifies your body.

Now, imagine your detoxifier is not working, the amount of toxins in your cells in the attic system will build up and build And it will block your cells from shedding just shedding toxins and just being able to function properly so there'll be a lot of stagnation and buildup of phlegm and liquids and toxins. So reduce inflammation number one and detoxify your liver once you do that, then it's safer to stimulate your adrenal system or bring up your system increase in metabolism first three basic steps on physical then heal emotions. Work with the coach work with a psychotherapist work with me whoever it is was available to you. Yeah, peel away these layers so self esteem comes back self love. Yeah, give back to your parents. The negative thoughts give back to your auntie her negative beliefs about you and her criticism about you as a child.

Yeah, those don't belong to anyone except that person at that time. Then there'll be more self returning, then life will just become better. you'll choose different things you'll meet different people who have better friends who choose different friends, the right person, how you feel about yourself. That's an interesting thing that I don't think we realize that, you know, we have a circle of friends and the circle changes. And it really is based on how we're feeling about ourselves and what we've internalized. So, and I didn't even, you know, I mean, I know that on a maybe a subconscious level, but it hadn't come to the front yet.

Until right now. So thank you for that. It's wonderful. I get these realizations, right? Everything comes together. Okay.

Every detail everything ties together, mind body, digestion, diet, inflammation, liver, adrenal system, boom. A whole person, we have to work on the whole person. Exactly. And that's my another point I want everyone to realize is our indoctrination at school, separate mind and body, separate liver from digestive system separate like this. It's a very reductionist way of looking at life and owning Society no includes love in healing sometimes. And in some cultures, actually the whole society comes together and sits around a person, you know, and there's a lot of healing on the person people do get better.

Because our mentality on mental health depends on the environment as well. Right? Right, not just on dramas and stuff. Really, whatever environment we live in, are people killing each other or people shooting each other people writing just bad graffiti on the walls, you know, what's the message has been poured into our subconscious all the time. So awareness is as important as anything else, awareness of your surroundings and your environment. awareness, self awareness, emotional intelligence, you know, developing, like just being educated.

I mean, hopefully people after listening to you and I speak will realize, gosh, they've been boring from such such negative trash really from the past. Right and awaken, awake in the spirit of the intelligent self. Love and feel worth it feel worth breathing deeply and feel worth breathing again, in a more self loving way and choosing what's loving and nourishing just based on awareness and awakening, right?
