 Hello to all of you ladies and viewers. Welcome back to Spiritual Perspectives of Our Great Awakening. I am presenting to you this wonderful kick-ass Divine Feminine Roundtable. We have Bryce, Natalie, Liz, and Ava. How is everyone doing today? Great. Fantastic. How are you? Doing good. Way for it to be optimistic. Come on, guys, like kick-ass roundtable. Let's do this shit. I feel like it's more so like, who's gonna talk first? I don't know. Should we, like, raise our hands? Like, hey, take care. I have a question. So before we get started, Liz, Bryce, and I are gonna show off this new shirt that was, Liz, if you wanna kind of take the lead on this, sorry, we're showing you our boobies. No, I'm just lifting my nap. I'm not giving you the goods. Look at my shirt. No. You had a subscriber that designed this shirt on your website, and he decided to have you send Bryce and I, one of them. So Bryce and I want to thank that person that did that for us. This is very, very sweet gesture. I love this shirt, so thank you so much. And so I'm gonna link below Liz's Etsy shop. You can go check her shop out. She's got some pretty kick-ass shirts. She's got tank tops, sweatshirts, regular t-shirts. I even saw a phone case on there, if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, and tote bags down. Yeah. Oh. It's expanding. So please go support Liz and get something from her Etsy shop. It's very high quality, and I have a couple of her shirts at this point, so that will be in the description box below. So today we're gonna be talking about a couple topics here. We're gonna be talking about fasting because there is a right way, a wrong way, and also there is a lot of, the re-vated way as well, which Bryce will get into, because she's our dosha queen. And we're gonna also talk a little bit about detoxing and alkalizing the body. So I think a lot of the topics we've been presenting is a lot of health stuff. And so this is the time to really get healthy and everything. So we're gonna start off with fasting, which I don't know my head for my ass when it comes to fasting. I've tried, and guess what? I end up in a hypoglycemic attack, like hardcore turn into bitchosaurus rex. We don't want that. So I'm gonna actually have Bryce take this away just with the whole dosha thing, because she explained it to me, and this is why I probably go into dinosaur mode when I fast. Yeah, I mean fasting alone is going to trigger emotions, of course, when your body is going without, when it's used to having, there's a discipline behind fasting for sure. And I've done it before. A lot of people, I shouldn't have, and I'll get into that. A lot of spiritual disciplines talk about fasting, the benefits of fasting are it does kind of clear you out because food is energy. As we know, that's the whole Ayurvedic principle and energy can influence your thought patterns, your perspective. But with that being said, if you are considering fasting, you need to consider a couple of things. The first being, what is your leading dosha? So my leading dosha is vata. I am vata pitta. So vata is air. Now, one of the symptoms or the effects of being a vata is the way we regulate our hunger. So most people, when they think about getting hungry, they think about their stomach growling. For a vata, by the time the stomach growls, you're already basically, you're about to pass out. As a vata, I regulate my hunger by how well I, if I feel myself zoning out first, that's when I know that I need to eat something. Vatas typically need to eat every couple of hours. Vatas are typically people that live, my mother always makes fun of me that I eat like a bird. I eat kind of, every couple of hours, I force myself just to snack a little bit, snack a little bit, and that's how the vatas do the best. Actually, Tamara, our friend Tamara, she does that as well, and she's very vata. And she kind of eats like a bird throughout the day. That's very much how the vatas regulate their energy. And so as far as fasting goes, even with intermittent fasting, so that's something that I really, really enjoy is intermittent fasting. And that's what works well for me. So what I do is I typically stop eating around five o'clock in the afternoon. And I won't eat again until after I've practiced or worked out the next morning, because I do do my exercise and workout early in the morning because I do follow Brahma morta with that being the vata time of day. And that's when you should be doing your exercise because that's when you're the clearest, your head's the clearest. And there's a couple of reasons for that. So I'll go about 12 to 14 hours without food. Now for me as a vata, that works the best because during most of that time, I'm asleep. And so it's not affecting me in the way it would affect me if I was awake. But the kicker with fasting and how it benefits everyone is your colon, even though your colon is constantly working, your organs are constantly working, it does need some time to rest. So what that means is if you're constantly eating and you're not giving yourself a break, your colon is constantly just trying to break down the food that you're giving it. When you cease to eat for a little while, what the colon can then do is start to pull out the toxins from the bloodstream and start to pull that rest from actually breaking down food, if that makes sense. And so for most vatas, that type of fasting is the best type of fasting. Now, when it comes to like cleansing fasting because there's detoxing and there's cleansing. A lot of people, y'all remember back in like the early 2000s, the juice cleanse got really big, where people would like poop out seven pounds. It was a moment, it was like a badge of honor. You could buy that Hollywood, that big jug of the Hollywood juice. Oh yeah, oh my God. That made me so sick. Oh my God. Okay, so if you're vata, that is the absolute worst thing you can do. Well, I found that out. Well, I'm trying dosha. So I feel like my fasting though, the whole, my symptoms with the fasting, like when you said how you figure out you're hungry, I don't have a stomach growl. I will feel like I'm about to pass out. My personality will change. And then here in the sirens, they've been going left and right all day today. But sorry, squirrel. But yeah, I will feel like I'm gonna pass out. I get like really disoriented. I get really bitchy, like personality change. It's not the true Stephanie, something bad. It's really, really bad. My son will say mom is getting hungry. So that's kind of like my sign that I'm getting hungry. I have to really like nibble throughout the day too to keep my energy. But at the same time, I have to eat the opposite of you. Yeah, so what I would say with you, Stephanie, and I would venture to say that, so hypoglycemia really only affects vatis, people who leave with vatis. So what I would say with you, I would test it in like six months and see if it, because I think what's happening with you is that you were eating foods that were totally wrong for your body so you weren't getting the nutrients. And so you thought you were hypoglycemic because your body was triggering you to eat more because it wasn't getting, so you were having these symptoms of needing food, but it's because the body couldn't do anything with the food you were giving and if that makes sense. And I think once everything starts to shift, you're gonna find a huge difference. I already have. Yeah, and I will say too, this is another important thing. Now intermittent fasting is different. That can be done. Most people who do intermittent fasting, they can do it because you are taking in food within a 24-hour period. But as far as like a full-on fast where you're gonna go a week without eating, that's kind of what a lot of people will do sometimes, especially in big time spiritual disciplines or in order to cleanse themselves because that does go into the cleansing aspect of fasting. You do not wanna do that unless it's intermittent. That's the exception to the rule if you're at a junction of the seasons. That's also the same thing with detoxing. You never, never, never, never wanna do a detox at the junction of seasons. Interesting. So how much space would you put in between the junction and when you can actually, like is it a week? Like how long does that energy last? I would go right in the middle of the season. So I would avoid fall and spring because I feel like especially where I live, now where everyone else lives out to just a different story depends on where you live because I mean, Liz and I can attest to this. In the South it's like hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot. Ooh, one day of nice fall weather, kind of cold, kind of cold. Ooh, one day of spring and then all of a sudden it's balls hot again, right? And so when you're, notice yourself, when you're going through that junction of a season anyway, you're probably a little bit more tired. We have time change in fall and spring. Your body's having to recalibrate to whatever season you're going into. There's different energies associated with seasons like the fall is the world is detoxing, or your world, whether you're in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere is detoxing itself. The spring is rebirth. There's different energies to that. And so your body, one of the rules of are you VEDA is that you cannot be pure, more pure, than your environment. So if you live in a city, I tell my students this all the time, if you, I live right smack dab, as I was saying, I can't see jack shit stars in the sky. I don't know if there's ships above me. All I see is skyscrapers. Because I live in a very, cities are vata because there's a lot of light action sounds. There's a lot of chi, a lot of Prana here. And because there's smog, there's toxins. There's a lot of people here. I tell my students, we're lucky. We get to go have a slice of cheese pizza and a beer, because we can't every once in a while because we can't be pure. That sounds wonderful. Now, if you live in the middle of nowhere, like if you're hungry, if you live in North Georgia mountains, you can live like a totally vegan, because you can match your environment that way. So we think about it that way in the simplistic terms of how energy works. When you're at a junction of a season, you carry all this? Mm-mm. No. I think the sound is cutting it out. Holy sirens. Oh my God, sorry. I'm like, it's like so loud. In a city there's all these sirens and car alarms going on. This is very weird for this area. So I live out in these bumfuck. So I would say like for you, if you want to do fasting, like intermittent fasting, because that's a different story because you are taking in food. So it's just about giving your colon a time to rest. Which I do a lot of, is intermittent fasting, yeah. That I can do. If you're wanting to do the fasting that borderlines detox, like five days, whatever, I would pick a week in the middle of either the summer or the winter to do it. When your body's already alkalined to the environment, obviously don't pick a week when you're gonna have a lot of activities to do. You need to be able to control your environment because you don't want to be putting out too much energy when you're not taking in any energy, you know? So. I totally did the opposite of that because I just have a lot of energy. I did four days. Which we talked about on a video last time. So Eva, why don't you talk about your experience. So I started out with 21 days of intermittent fasting and just going longer and longer without eating. And then I kind of took a break. So this was May into July, actually, of last year. And then I would go like one day. And then, okay, that was easy. Wait a few days. Then I tried to, then I wait a few more days. Long story short, I got to four days and I could have easily done five. But at that same time, I was still waking up and lifting in the morning, running a 5K, like I would run like three miles. And then even one day I lifted, ran, and I hiked for like two hours after that. And I don't know, I'm just like this energizer bunny. And it just feels, it just felt good. I felt clean. I didn't think about being hungry at that point. Also, I take magnesium gluconate and potassium chloride and Himalayan salt. I do a jug of that and I drink it all day. And that helps with like electrolyte replenishment. It helps with the muscle. Yeah, I was gonna bring up electrolytes too, yeah. Yeah, muscle and brain function. And then also the saltiness of the water is kind of, it's satiating too. It's almost like I got to a point where I wanted it because that was kind of like, that's the only thing that I was tasting, you know? So it was your, your salty water. That was my snack, it was salt water. Well, and I'm so glad you brought up electrolytes because this has actually happened to me before. And I remember my grandfather, my mother used to do like Weight Watchers like Jenny Craig and all like, she would drink these big old jugs of water because they would tell you to. And there is such a thing as over hydration. And over hydrating yourself is almost as dangerous as dehydration. It actually might be even more dangerous than you're basically flooding out your organs. And it happened to me one time and it was probably the sickest I have ever been. I was over hydrated and I literally could not stand up. I had to go lay down like it was awful. I had no idea what was going on and I had over, I had drank too much water basically. So when we talk about drinking water, you know, who says we're supposed to have eight glasses a day? This is all, what we know. It's different for everyone. It's different for everyone. What we know about the human body from RU VEDA is that it's not one size fits all. And so I am very aware of electrolytes. I actually, my first big thing of water I drink every morning, I put electrolytes into the water because I'm, because that's what's happening when you're over hydrated is you've lost all those electrolytes and that's very, your body needs that. And it is salt. There's a lot of B vitamins in that. And so that is something to be very aware of especially if you are going to fast is possibly putting electrolytes into your water just to make sure your body is getting that. That especially if you're not eating anything but you're trying to like flesh out with a bunch of water because water does flush you out. You have to be aware of over hydration. And I don't see, I don't know Ava maybe you had a different experience with the gym life with equinox but I don't see people talking about over hydration that much at all. No. It's a problem. Mm-hmm. Even, and I, I mean, I'm from Texas. So we had triple digit summers and that summer goes into like usually like until Halloween and then all of a sudden cold. You know, the night that everyone wants to wear like no clothes and then it's cold. But like, yeah. So, you know, it's really funny because we talk about drinking water, drinking water, drinking water, you know, stay hydrated because it's so, so hot. But there's never any speak about going past that point. And I know that my, another one of the trainers at Equinox, she had a daughter that played club soccer and they would use like a P color chart to tell their hydration level. But I mean, that only goes so far because if it's clear, then yes, you're hydrated but like, are you past the point of necessary hydration too? So I think that's a good point because people don't typically talk about that. It's awful. I mean, that was one of the worst. I mean, I've been sick, trust me. I've been in Indian hospital more times and I've had the weirdest things happen to me but that was awful. And it was, you lose, you kind of lose your, you feel like you're not in your body anymore. It's like your organs like start to shut down basically because you're flooding them out. And it's the same thing here in Georgia. I remember the day it happened. I, it was such a hot day. And I, I obviously had practiced. I taught, I had taken a dog out and I was concerned about making sure I was hydrated enough and I overdid it. And the P chart thing is good too. I know people are the clear if your P is completely clear. Yeah, it means you're hydrated. But from what I hear from other people from people that know a lot about over hydration is you actually want a little bit of that yellow tent. Like if it's too clear, that's a sign that you need to stop, stop drinking water. Like just stop, you know. I wonder if it also has to do with drinking like pure water. Like if it has electrolytes in it, it helps get into your organs and stuff easier. But everyone's drinking pure water which actually pulls electrolytes and stuff out because it has to like balance that water out. Yeah. So I wonder if that has something to do with it as well. Like you're, by drinking more water, you're actually dehydrating yourself. Which I treat filter, I've drunk, I mean filter water for years, obviously I think most of us have who are in this community. We know it's, that's a good point and that's what sweat is. So if you're an athlete, if you work out at all and you sweat, that's the electrolytes that are, you need to replace those. Yeah. And so I did a fast once and I did like a bone broth fast and that fast wasn't that bad. And then I did a water fast. That was the worst fast of my life. But I think it's because I wasn't aware of the electrolytes. There's sodium in broth and there's other nutrients in the broth. And that's probably replenished what you were losing. Yeah. But I think it was in electrolytes for water. Can you speak about the broth? Now I'm a vegetarian so I wouldn't be doing bone broth. But I've heard of this, people talk about this a lot. This is a part of fasting and a lot of people think, oh bone broth, I can't, you know, nothing in my body. But I'm glad you brought that up Natalie because that is another form of fasting. That is better for people who are like Vata. I know Natalie, you're Vata. I can tell right away from seeing you that you carry a lot of Vata too. So. So bone broth fasting is a good way to, if you want to do like water fasting, it's a good way to like build yourself up to it. Instead of like shocking the system, sometimes you have to build up to it because most people aren't used to not eating at all. So you need to really balance out your blood sugar and just your nutrients and that kind of stuff. So I did the bone broth fast first because I wasn't sure if I could do the water fast. I'm like, I have to build myself up a little bit. And so my mom actually makes homemade bone broth. So she made a bunch for me and I froze it and I would just drink like four or eight cups a day, just kind of however much I was feeling. And it gives you a bunch of collagen and stuff. So it kind of helps your body rebuild during the fast because you have so much more blood and energy able to rebuild stuff since you're not digesting food. So it's kind of like an aid as well to give you the amino acids, give you the building blocks to replace to heal your intestines and stuff. Well, it's interesting too. I mean, what do we normally drink when we're sick or we're throwing up as chicken broth, right? So I mean, there is something that replenishes but even like beef bone broth, I believe even has like an antibacterial in it. It's an antiviral, antibacterial readup that I have done, which was back in 2020 because I was about to make my own just in case we got sick. I didn't want to end up going to the hospital. So that was something I was researching into a specifically beef bone, you know, but you can make broth out of vegetables too. And I actually do that. I make my own homemade vegetable broth and I can it and I seal the cans and I store them and I make my soups out of that. And what I do is I take the vegetables, any kind of shavings from them, like when I take carrots and I, you know, get rid of like the ends of them or the celery or whatever and I store them in a freezer bag and then I boil it for about two hours and then I will can it. I mean, broth out of that. Yeah, yeah. And that too, like when we talk, I was thinking about the whole like juicing as well and that can be considered a fast as well if you're just juicing. But again, you look at if you're wanting to do that, look at what your energy is. Like I could not do juice fast because I'm bought to those are bought to food to it. Oh my God, and no food on top of that. I would be like freaking one flu or the cuckoo's nest at that point. I'd have like anxiety after wazoo because that's the energy. And so I would suggest for people too to again, go see an Ayurvedic practitioner because they can guide you on that on what is best for your body. If that is something, there are so many benefits to fasting. I mean, cultures since the beginning of time, Yashua fasted, you know, cultures since the beginning of time have done these practices and there's something very spiritual about them if you do them, correct. Yeah, fasting is free and it can heal so many diseases. It can heal so many people have liver issues and colon issues and fasting is great for those and it can help eliminate some types of cancers. I wouldn't like say that it can, you know, eliminate all cancers, but yeah, we're not giving out a treatment here. Yeah, but we know what you're saying. Yes, absolutely. We do start to destroy cancerous cells when we, I think it's past the 48 hour mark. So somewhere around there where we're not eating and our body shifts into this energetic mode where it starts to attack those cells. Yeah. Yeah, there's like a time frame. I'm sorry, go ahead. There's a time frame where that happens. I don't remember probably 48 hours or whatever you said, Ava. And then your body also starts to make stem cells and I think like human growth hormone, which is really good just for healing all aspects of your body. Liz, I know you had a story about fasting, right? Yeah, fasting has been a huge part of my life for the last like 10 years, like massive. It's completely like transformed my life because I've done like no solid food, fast, where I would drink water and like I'd put stuff in my water or do juices and stuff like that. I think I did 22 days, that was like the longest, but it really all started when I went to Africa and met my husband. I just had this like sense that I needed to not eat for like 10 days. And we were like out in the bush in the middle of nowhere, which kind of goes along with what Bryce was saying was like, I was kind of like feeding or connecting to the energy of that place. And so it kind of in a way healed my relationship with food because I felt very controlled by food most of my life because a lot of my family is obese and I always had like that fear. So diet culture was huge in our family. And I think it is for most women, especially all of our age, but it was like a really healing time for me because it also kind of reset my whole body and reset my mindset about food. And then I came back from Africa and I would like fast like once a month, anywhere from like two days to like 10 to 15 days sometimes. And it just felt like it was what my body needed at the time. And I like felt like it totally leveled up every time that I did fast. And so it was kind of like, I need to keep doing this. And it was like very much just like that season of life that I was doing that a lot. And I would explain it to my friends this way when I would, there's a saying that goes, any fool can fast, but it takes a wise man to break a fast. And so basically like, I like took that to like really hard. And so I would start introducing food back into my diet really slowly, especially after that like really long fast I did. And I would only eat things that actually felt like it had life in it. So like chicken, I was like, I am eating a dead animal. That's, this is death. Why am I eating this? And I could just like feel the energy from it. And so I wouldn't eat it. And that's when I started to become vegan. And then kind of like eating for my blood type. It was just funny because it reset me to be eating very close to how like my blood type eats. And it just kind of paved this whole journey for me. So then kind of got out of like the whole like really intense fasting. And I've been doing intermittent fasting for like five years now. And I did it at one point before I had Levi before I was got pregnant with him. I was doing like the one meal a day thing and I loved it. And it felt so right. I had so much energy. I was in the best shape of my life. I didn't feel controlled by food in any kind of way. And so I literally like recommend it to everyone because I feel like it just completely reset so many different aspects of my life. And most of the time when people are just like, yeah, I really want to like start a diet or something. I'm like, try fasting for like a day or two. Like try that first. Well, and you're a good example, Liz, because you're either, I would guess, since you're my friend and guys, I can't diagnose people, but I don't know, but I would guess you're either pitacapa or copapitta. I'm pretty sure I'm copapitta. I've been thinking about this a lot, Liz. Yes, and that, so the copapitta people are the healthiest people in the world. That's good. They were the longest, okay? And that, so what you picked up on, that was totally our Ayurveda. You picked up on the energy and you picked up on the one meal a day, works wonderful for copa. Like that is like, for copas, like that is the most, because copas, I want my next life, I want to come back copa. Copa is like the personality of a copa. It's like they're like pot heads without the pot. You know, they're super like kind people. They're like, whoa, it's cool, man. Look, whatever it's really, you know, they're super juicy. Like their joints are super just buttery and limber and you know, just very, very warm people. But they can go, a copa element can go hours without eating and not feel any type of side effects from it. And it's because you're very earth-based. That's a very earth-based element. And so you, by, when you said, when you got up to fast, you could, it's almost like your taste buds re-birth themselves because you're able to actually feel the energy and that's what food is, it's energy. And that's something, especially in the Western world, we just like eat mindlessly without even realizing that this is energy. This isn't entertainment, it's energy. And so you picked up on something that's so awesome that you actually listen to your body and your body puts you, it bubbled you to where you needed to be to match. You can't change your dosha. Like it's not gonna change. You have to work with it. Right, and that's even something that I noticed too is like the more I'm outside, like the reason why I come alive in summer, spring and summertime is because I'm an outside barefoot usually and I don't eat. I don't want to eat anything because I'm like feeling the energy and getting fueled from the sun and the earth. And like I literally will, I will not eat all day if you don't remind me. I won't. So earth-based, that's a, like with the Kappa it's a very grounded energy, right? Kappas are very grounded earth-based energy whereas Vata is very air, very cerebral, right? And so like for me, I have to add Kappa foods in to pull the cerebral down. What you figured out on your own was that if I only eat once a day, I'm now pulling the earth-based up to meet the air element more, which is why you're so good and balanced. Yeah, and I feel so weighted down when I eat. So weighted down. Like Natalie, I'm gonna go on a limb and say I think Natalie's leading dosha is probably Vata as well. And for Vata's, it's like that helium balloon that just keeps going up, up, up, up, up, up. And so we need the pulling down. It's finding that balance, right? And that's the fun. Like that is, I love the whole, like Liz, you got me on the whole plot twist thing when you told me about that girl, like, oh, my boyfriend broke up me plot twist. You know, like that's the whole plot twist is that like you can figure this out. You can figure out your, and figure out how to balance yourself. And when you do find that sweet spot, it changes, it's a game changer. Right. And then the hardest thing is when I've been pregnant is I'd have to eat all the time because you're pregnant and you're like, come on, come on. See, when I was pregnant. So bored of food. I couldn't keep anything down for eight months straight. Oh gosh. Except dairy. Only thing I could keep down, I don't know if that is because my AB blood type because AB blood type loves dairy, but it was the only thing that I could actually ingest and meat was a big no-no when I was pregnant. I think about it, I was running to the bathroom. So just like if I thought about raw chicken or anything like that, it was horrible. But yeah, I had come to the point where it was just like, nope, dairy and that was it. And it was quite the experience. Pregnancy is a different beast in of itself, but oh my gosh. Yeah. Yeah. The body's not yours anymore. The body's not yours anymore. No, it's not. You literally have a parasite. In space. You're hosting something. They're a landlord. Literally hosting something. Yes. Yeah. And so I think it was awesome to bring all of you ladies on to talk about these experiences because we all have different experiences. We all have different notions. We all have different bodies. It's a journey and it's a different journey for each and every one of us. And of course we like Bryce's take on the whole dosha thing because that brings a whole different, that's a whole new can of worms that you open with that with the dosha and everything. So definitely look into an RIVA clinic near you if you are interested in figuring out all that kind of stuff. And Bryce, you said a lot of the inner cities will have these. Yes. So a lot of people are saying, oh, there's no RIVA clinic in my area. Yes, there is. You probably just have never noticed it before. So just if you're looking for an RIVA practitioner, you just type it in to Google search. You don't even have to go to another search engine. Just RIVA clinic, my area. In Atlanta alone, there are five different clinics. If you live in a small town, just look for the nearest city. If you literally, and I was telling Stephanie, some practitioners will zoom with you. They would rather see you though because they also are going to take your pulse. They're going to look in your eyes. They're going to look at your tongue. There's so much you can learn off about the tongue. I mean, God bless them. I think that's the grossest part of their job, but God bless them for doing it. They might want to feel your stomach, feel your organs to see what's going on. Usually they can tell just by the makeup of your body. Like vatas are very bony. Like I'm very bony. That's a very vata trait. And so just Google it in your area. And I wanted to, talking about diet culture. Yes, fasting can be a great way to jump start a diet, but I really, really want to put it out there. Please don't do fasting because of losing weight alone. This is very spiritual. I think going into anything, even exercise, when we talked about this, me, Eva, Bryce, we talked about this on a show. Going into any kind of exercise regimen with a mindset of only weight loss. No, these are lifestyle changes that, first of all, they bring you closer spiritually to God. They align you. This is a lifelong practice that really needs to be done. Because it keeps us aligned. It keeps us detoxed. It keeps us a lot of different things. So having that mindset of, oh, I have to lose weight. No, that's why I always went wrong with my exercise regimen. And so now when I'm working out, yeah, I mean, the weight loss is happening, but I feel so much spirit. There's a more spiritual aspect of it. And I will link that video below if no one has, if people have not seen that. But we get into the whole detoxing thing. And I wanted to kind of bring up a situation I was in with detoxing. My son was born with the cord around his neck. He came out blue. There's a lot of different complications. And so he was okay as a baby. He was like a really good baby. The only thing is like I had a hard time like breastfeeding him and stuff like that. But as he got older, he started to develop this horrific anger. And he does have a little bit of PTSD, as do I because of the situation we were in with his father. However, there was more to it. And I knew there was. Now at the time, I was in the medical field. So of course I did the childhood these things at the time. I noticed when he got the one for flu, when he was an infant, something went horrifically wrong. He began to get really finicky about like, I'm not finicky, fussy, very, very fussy. And they do that particular one in two doses for the infants. So I did the first dose, noticed something was off and I did not do the second one. And then I never gave him another one of those again. Up until 2019 when my sister had a baby and would not allow us to see her baby unless we had that. So I said, okay, well, he's older at this point. And unfortunately, my son ended up in the autism site for one month as of February of 2020. He was very violent. He tried to kill himself. He preteens, hormones changing, that extra testosterone that's starting to develop and everything. And it was after that, that he went a little loony tune on me. The thing is I had all these case workers coming in, helping out, saying, oh, he's a narcissist. He's psychopath, this, this and this. And I looked at him and I said, no, he's not. You don't understand. And I'm his mom, so I know his heart. My son has a heart of gold. The moment I get sick, he will sit there next to me. Can I get you water? Can I get, make you soup? Can I do this for you? Cause that's really a narcissist, right? You know? So I know my son very, very well. And so I did not accept those diagnosis and I refused to have them even mark it down on his chart. So I mean, they could have very well did, but I have a lot of people worked back it up. So I didn't see any of that in there. But when lockdown started in 2020 is when he was hospitalized. And so I couldn't visit him for a full month and that was horrific, horrific experience. He came home, he was doped up on more medications and he was okay for a little bit, but he started to go back into psychosis again, where he was starting to get very agitated easily. And I said, there's gotta be more to this. So I'm sick and tired of putting a bandaid on him. And so I took him off all of his meds and I talked to a couple of women who were already red pilled in my community who have autistic kids and they had been giving their kids zeolite. Zeolite is an ancient, it's created over, I guess, millions of years. I forgot I should research better, but it's an all-natural mineral that is in the ground and it's harvested up and to make a supplement. It can come in a liquid form, a pill form, and it can come in a powder. And so it's like a cloudy powder. Isn't it from the mix of volcanic and sea water? Yes. It's like, yeah, when the lava hits the sea water, it creates, you can actually go to a rock store and get zeolite stone. It actually, it's almost like, it's not like sparkly like amethyst or anything, but it is a stone you can get. And so I started to give him that and I switched him over to an organic non-GMO diet. My son has been off of meds for almost two years at this point or a year, a year and a half now, I would say, and his psychosis has not returned. What the zeolite does is it's a heavy metal detox and he was having neuropsychosis from the heavy metals that they put in these things. So I wanted to bring that up because I actually did it myself because I was having a lot of mood issues and I switched my diet at first before I went on the dosha diet to the organic non-GMO because all of those things that they create in the lab and put in your food, they are neurotoxins. And when you have something like autism, it's a, it attacks the neurons, the nervous system. So the central nervous system and you think about the brain, that's where your moods come from, everything like that. So what it does is it flushes those heavy metals out of your body and he's been good. It's weird. And he's so talkative and he's so social and he's for the most part, appropriately social where a lot of autistics are not. So that's kind of my story on detox, but now like I'm doing the exercise for detox and stuff like that. So there's many different avenues of what we would label as detox, but in terms of like a central nervous system disorder or somebody who is not neurotypical and has something like an autism type of thing or autoimmune or MTHFAR mutation, which I am double MTHFAR mutation where I can't process folic acid. I have to take methylfolate, which is the processed form. This really kicked jumped us into getting rid of the heavy metals out of our body. What company did you use? I do, it's called Black Earth. Okay. Yeah. And I'll link that in the description box below as well. Yeah, I've talked about this many times, but I did it for like four months straight, a heavy metal and parasite cleanse. And it changed my life also and it changed my son's life, like he came alive. Like, I mean, he's only two, and I get compliments all the time at the park asking how old he is because he is talking like almost like a three-year-old and super active and very coordinated and creatively plays when he wasn't before. And then for me, I feel like a main reason that I had my miscarriage was because of heavy metals. I just like intuitively felt that. So literally the day afterwards, I got the cleanse and was doing it for like the last four months and it completely opened up everything. I like became way more spiritually sensitive also. Well, if he taxes your third eye too, and I also do a supplement which I will also link is called Sheelogy, which is an old ancient resin that takes thousands of years to actually build up and make. I think you can find it like in the Himalayan mountains and everything. And that's also good for heavy metal detox as well. And it opens up all of that kind of stuff because I mean, they attack our pineal with the fluoride in the water. So that's another thing that we switched over to is definitely, I recommend for everyone, filter your water, just filter it. And no, your water bottle, water is not filtered, water, so it's fluoride in it. Yeah. It's interesting. Whatever plastic is leached into the water. Yeah, the PBAs, yep, PBA is a heavy, is a bad toxicity as well. And hormone disruptors. Yes, yes. They attack your thyroid. No, that's another thing, the iodine that they don't, they take out of the water. If you don't have enough iodine, you're gonna have thyroid problems. So like we do a multi-mineral thing where it's like a dropper multi-mineral and you put it in your water. It doesn't taste like anything, it's clear. It's got manganese, it's got the iodine, it's got boron. That's another thing that our water is missing. And all these different elements that are missing in our water create a lot of deficiencies because our natural water is supposed to have all this stuff. Yeah, it's also interesting too. Like even going back to the whole, like your body doesn't need that much water. My husband, when I met him, he like never drank any water ever. If he did, it was like a cup, like once or twice a day. And, you know, like their water like hurts my stomach and Mozambique because it's got way different bacteria and minerals and stuff that I'm not used to. It probably would be good for me if I got used to it. But he came here and I was like, you need to drink more water. And he's like, why? Like, I don't, I don't need it. And it was always this like fight between us because he would just like have like two glasses of water a day and I'm over here drinking gallons. But, you know, he just knew that intuitively and culturally that you don't need it. Like if you're thirsty, drink some water. Like that's it, you know? Your body will give you signs when you're dehydrated. You know, obviously the first being your pee is like brown. You know, that's like the biggest sign. But you'll start to feel sometimes you'll feel hunger pains that aren't really hunger pains when you're actually thirsty. That's a sign too. But no, we Americans, we try to drink water like it's gone out of style and it's not. It's interesting though with the filtered water because my dog is a rescue from India. And so he's like half wild. And it's been very interesting to watch him maneuver being in a city because I grew up with a bunch of like domesticated dogs. My father's a vet, so we had tons of dogs. And Robbie, we go, we live right by Piedmont Park which is like our central park here in Atlanta, it's huge. And so if I take Robbie down to the park for a walk or whatever, they have dog bowls all over the park for the dogs. And you know, it's by a little pump. You can pump more water, but it's city water. Robbie won't drink it. Doesn't matter how hot it is, he won't touch it. But if you go by a creek, he'll drink that water. And it's interesting because it's like, because he's half wild and because he wasn't bred, it was, you know, natural selection, he can smell it when it's not okay, when it's poison. And yeah, the water is poison. And you know, it's, we were laughing before we came on. I mean, I've been very honest, like I'm a huge fan of microdosing. One of the benefits of microdosing is it clears out the heavy metals in your brain. And that's something that's unavoidable. If you live in the Western world and you think about all the things they put in the sky, you know, what I'm talking about, we can't say it on YouTube, from the airplanes, those beautiful rainbows that are white. You're breathing in heavy metals. There's just a certain amount. You're never gonna be able, we won't be able to escape to escape it all until we leave the matrix behind. And one thing that microdosing does do is it does help get rid of those heavy metals. It also helps if you do have addiction problems. Actually, microdosing helps with that, helps with that. And it's, you know, I've been very honest in my channel that I was diagnosed with complex post-traumatic stress disorder a while ago. And so I know I have, and that's easy for a Vata person because we're already anxiety prone to anxiety, you know. And so with these microdosing, it also helps kind of calm that down as well and kind of detox the emotions too. Bryce, for those who didn't happen to see that video, I think with you and Catherine Edwards with the microdosing, can you explain to the audience what microdosing is for those who are not aware of what it is? So microdosing, I'm gonna have to be careful how I say this. I think here in the United States we're a little bit safer. I know over in the UK, they have to be careful. You know, the topping on a salad, you can put like mushrooms on a salad if you want. Guys, what I'm saying, that's what I'm talking about with the special ones. There's a great podcast with Joe Rogan where he talks about, he's done all this research into these particular plant-based, we'll say plant-based medicine and how the human brain, if you look how the human brain developed, I'm paraphrasing, totally paraphrasing what the research he did over other species, it developed a lot faster than other species and it all comes back to humans finding this particular plant. Now, ironically it does grow under cow poo and cow poo in India is sacred so maybe there's some truth to that. Cow poo helps plants grow. It also is a good plant. You garden, you use cow poo. If you read the Hatha Yoga Pritikabha which is another like sister manual to the Yoga Sutras, it's only 2,000 years old where the sutras are like 5,000. It's like a manual on how to run your Shala and they talk about cleaning the cow poo. Like that's how you clean your Shalas with cow poo. And so these plants we'll say, now I will raise my hand and say that I love a good day outing, we'll say instead of a trip. Um, girl, we're on over here, we're on over here. I'm sheltered over here guys, I'm really sheltered. I love it for the healing aspects and I love that you called it a, what did you call it, a journey? Yeah, well it can be a journey, yeah. Yeah, I call it journey because I feel like the word trip gives it like this negative connotation or like I'm abusing the plant, but I really, I like legitimately appreciate it as a teacher and as a teacher. And I really connect with that specific type of plant and a couple others. And like I said, I love it for the healing aspect and for the work. Like I call it going in because like, you know, you have this, you're able to access other areas of your mind of essentially reality and see past certain blockages and like, I don't know, pull out and literally see other things and experience life differently. And I've learned and I feel like I have overcome so much through journeying with mushrooms. So yeah, so the full day's worth, what I typically do is I make it in a, I put the long, the whole bundle of plant in like a peanut butter sandwich and I eat it. Now in that situation, usually I will then throw up like 30 minutes later that happens sometimes that actually clears you. And you're right, when you do the full load in that situation, you can't live your life outside of it because you are so inundated, you do see past the veil. The first time I ever did it, I was like, holy shit, you can see the vibrations of all the plants. You can see your own vibration. I've never really, yeah, I've never hallucinated in the sense where I've seen things that weren't there. It's just, you see the full essence of the spirit of the thing. And I remember the first time I did it, I had the realization that this was all just the hologram and that we were so much more than, and everything, even the tree was so much more than just a tree. And so you think about the full dose of that and now when you do the micro, you're just doing like a tiny little, if a whole serving is like this big, one day you're doing like that much. You can measure it out and I can give details to that. I wanna be careful about what I say up to people who wanna do it. And it doesn't actually the first day I did it, I was like waiting for the, to like begin to do it and nothing ever happened. Everyone was like, it's not supposed to. It's just, but over time, the more you do it, the more you find that your mind kind of settles into this place of more acceptance. Like I noticed like my anxiety totally like dissipates with this. And now sometimes it will hit you in the sense like you'll all of a sudden feel like a wave of something like kind of a spiritual wave. I mean, that's the same. A lot of times these plants, that's the same with like ayahuasca or peyote. It's a medicine that like calls to you. I know, especially in the ayahuasca communities. And before lockdown, I was actually planning on going to Peru to do dieta, which is 10 days where you're literally stuck in the Amazon with a shaman who doesn't speak English and you don't speak Spanish. And they're chanting over you every night giving you this medicine. It's plant medicine. And it's not like you're gonna go party on this. These aren't part. This isn't about like, no. It's a butt kicking. It's like speeding up your, it's like we talked about the yoga practice speeds up your karma. This is gonna speed it up. And you're gonna have come to Jesus moments and darken out of the soul. And that's kind of what these medicines do. But like we were talking about the exercise video about how it triggers you and sometimes exercise will pull up issues within yourself that you need to face. Well, it's the same with the plant medicine in a lot of ways. So therefore it does help detox because everything that we struggle with, addiction, whatever it is, is part of our karmic lesson. And so in order to detox anything, whether that's anxiety, stress, cancer, whatever it is, in order to deal with it we have to actually deal with it. We have to figure out the root cause of it which is always emotional and always mental in our psyche. And so some of these for my experience with the micro dosing, that really helps you settle into facing things and finding peace with that. And I believe in the new timeline that these, it's interesting to me, I know Stephanie, we've talked about this, that the word for sorcery in the Bible is what? Pharmakia. Pharmakia, pharmacy, which is. But yet pills. Yeah, but yeah, all this like all natural stuff is demonized and everything and considered illegal, DRUGS and witchcraft. And that's the thing like, I always wondered about like, I don't know if this is a trigger word, but we'll just say, you know, the reefer, I don't know. You know, that's, there's a medicinal purposes to that too. And I guess I'll even come out and admit this. So, you know, there was a little while back, I did a little piece of an edible chocolate. And yeah, I had this like, okay, I can see, I had all these past life visions. I swear I did like a past life regression doing that. That was, that was crazy. And it was just like one after the other. I'm like, can you make it stop? Yeah, I want to remember these things. I want to write it down. And it was so quick. And then the next day, I took a little piece and something pissed me off. Well, I had a coming to Jesus moment and then I realized there was some sort of karma I had to clean up. And so I figured it out through that. And now meanwhile, I could have swear, I thought I was gonna have a heart attack and die because my chest was burning. I'm like, I'm not going to the hospital. I can't go to the hospital right now because they're gonna do this to me. And like, nope, nope. I'm supposed to be alive. I'm supposed to be alive. So I had to calm myself down. It was like one of those things where maybe I was too cerebral at that time. And I had to kind of groan myself. And I did have a little coming to Jesus moment, but that was not fun. But the day before was fine. And I had a lot of spiritual realizations, but these plants, they grow out of the ground. Do you think God would grow a poison out of the ground if it was supposed to be illegal and not meant for your spiritual health or whatever you're gonna use it for? God would not allow those things to grow in the ground. You know what I mean? Versus these man-made things that we just, oh, I have a headache. So I'm gonna pop an Advil. You know what I mean? It's more toxic for you than these different will come supplements. And that's actual sorcery because someone's created that. Whereas, and the thing about too, I want to reiterate with plant-based medicine, you really can't overdo it because it's not like, you're not partying on it. You know, you're not like, it's gonna give you a limit because it is a journey. And you need to take breaks and you need to, now with the micro, you can do it every day because it doesn't bring you that deep. It just kind of skims the surface. But yeah, so it's not like you're gonna over, your body's gonna, eventually you're gonna be like, I emotionally need to break. You know, like, it's interesting to see what they've all labeled as bad and what is good when it's actually flipped. And another, you know, if someone's still a little bit, you know, squeamish, if there's still some indoctrination with people, which I understand, when it comes to like plant-based medicine, there's other ways to detox as far as like simple supplements. Intestinal movement formula by health force is something that I've recommended to you, Stephanie. I recommend it to so many people because it cleansed me big time. When I first started figuring out that I was Vata, one of the elements of Vata is dryness because it's air. And so like I have really dry skin. My colon is dry. So that means Vata is usually struggle with going to the bathroom, you know, because the colon's dry. And so I did a total cleanse with intestinal movement formula and it knocked my ass out. Like I had fevers. I like, literally, Bryce, I literally, literally, it did, like literally. And, but it literally cleansed everything. And after that, things got regulated. And that's just a simple over the counter you can help force is the company. I will put that in the, I'm gonna link that too. Cause I, yeah, that, and I recommend that brand which was gonna lead me into my next thing that I wanted to talk about too, but I'll let you finish. No, I'm just, it doesn't, you don't have to, if you're, if you're interested in detoxing, there are things that you can do that are minimal, you know, pop a couple of, and it's all herbs. So it is, it's not, there's nothing chemical about it. It is plant-based, but it's not like gonna, although I will say I was laughing with one of my friends who did it, that when you do a test movement for me to start cleansing yourself, after you cleanse, you kind of feel like you're on a high because all of a sudden everything just kind of like, you feel the blood rush, right? Cause the blood is, I mean, we taught when the colon can't function, the toxins in the blood can't get to the colon to then pass through. And so you don't even realize how crappy you feel until you don't feel crappy anymore, until the body is able to function. It's like, you know, if you go to use your bathroom sink for instance, or your kitchen sink, you know, over time, sludge builds up and builds up and sometimes you get that little bit of a clog. And, and so the water doesn't pass through until, I'm a total, I'm against Drano, but let's say you use Drano and that's the intestinal movement, you know, stuff. And then it allows the water to go through that. Your intestines are your inner plumbing. That's your plumbing. And so working in the medical field, one of the biggest things I noticed with people is that people get like things like diverticulosis, which then develops into diverticulitis, which is a pouching of the intestine because there's so much packed in there and it started to get gross, but and it hasn't come out that it starts to like balloon out the intestine. That's a very dangerous illness. And then they put you on flagell and awful, awful, awful antibiotics that will make you more sick than the actual disease itself. But, you know, it's, that's also good too, when we're gonna talk about the fasting too, because then it gives that plumbing a break, you know, from working for a little while and gives it a little bit of a resting time. But when we have things like anxiety or depression or our energy level is so off, chances are your colon needs a little bit of a drain-o, not literally, figuratively. Okay, let me make that, don't go and buy a drain-o and drink it. Don't do that. They're gonna be like, no, don't recommend it. It's really interesting that you just mentioned that about the colon. I'm sorry to interject. That's okay. This is really short, but Natalie and I just did a video on the Jupiter Neptune conjunction in the full moon that happened around it. And some of the organs that were impacted during that time or that we're supposed to be giving more TLC during that time are the digestive and then also the kidneys and the bladder. And yeah. The colon was one. Yeah, so it's really interesting that we're talking about this now because that full moon energy is still carrying over and this is a time to really be showing that those parts of our body love because they're a little bit more sensitive and prone to, I don't know, disruption, I guess. So yeah, that just popped into my head. It's timely. Well, and then working in the medical field as well, Steph, like so many of the patients I worked with were constipated and it's like that energy is like it's holding on to stuff in that sacral region. And then me and Eva were talking about all the emotions associated there and it's almost like they're just holding on to all of that emotion and stuff that they just can't cleanse out. Yeah. And that goes into the chest. I don't want to get back you up. Yeah, that goes into the chopper system as well. And can I share a scream, Stephanie? I was going to speaking of the colon. I'll show you guys, I think I did this on Aquarius Rising Africa. But yes, you guys have this, we have the same amount of like what neurons in our stomach as we do in our head. And so the stomach becomes like the second brain almost. And so I don't know if you guys can see this. This is me doing Udianabunda in Acreia, Udianabunda, Acreia. So Udianabunda, we've talked about the chakras and all that kind of stuff, Stephanie, I just did a video on that. I talked about some Aquarius Rising Africa. You can see I've got my stomach really sucked in here. That's a practice. If that's something you want to learn, you definitely need a teacher to teach you how to do it because you have to do this on like no breath where you exhale completely out and suck everything in. And what it does is it pushes that colon up. Now there's some different creas that men can practice like the rolling of the stomach. They don't want women to practice because of our uterus, but men can practice this. And this is an exercise to get the colon to kind of start to move, right? And with the chakra system, yeah, there is emotional stuff going on with constipation, with any type of organ disruption on top of the doshas. So there's so many different elements involved in what's happening with our, how our organs function. But this is one thing that they suggest doing in the morning, like right when you first wake up. Now again, if you, when I, as someone who has been involved in a very strenuous intense yoga practice for 15 years now, I will tell you, if you eat a big heavy meal the night before and get up at four o'clock in the morning to practice, it's not going to be fun. You're going to feel everything in that stomach. And so part of that intermittent fasting also clears out the colon so that you can then get more movement in the area. Something we, when we think about flexibility, we always think about the joints and the, the everything in the, in the gross body, but we don't ever think about the organs. The organs also have to remain, keep, keep flexible. And as we get older, that's the one thing that does that stops to happen. That's another reason for inversions and twisting is to get the organs to continue to create that flexibility. Now, I think I said it with you, Stephanie. If someone is hyper constipated, the student is hyper constipated, we don't let them practice. So if they come in into the morning and you can tell if they're really bloated and you can tell, as a teacher, you have to stop them from practicing because they can bruise their internal organs. And yes, a lot of these asanas, these postures in yoga are designed to help the colon. But if it's gotten to the point where it's impacting on itself, something needs to be done. And, you know, a colonic, I've done colonics a lot. And that is a Kriya in the yoga practice. A Kriya is like a cleanse. It's a Kriya is a colonic. And I had a lot of success before I ever did. So like, here's a good twisting picture. If, you know, if your colon's impacted, this is not gonna be beneficial. But if it's empty, you're gonna be able to get those organs to move, right? But colonics, you can find colonics in most cities. And it was one of the, the first time I ever did a colonic, it was literally one of the most crazy experiences to like, and you can literally watch it. Like, I know that sounds gross. And they told me that my first time I went, they were like, you're gonna want to watch this. And I was like, really? They're like, yeah. Oh, hell yeah. You are watching everything that is coming out of you. That has some, some of that's been in there for years. And that's why this movement formula will do as well. It'll pull stuff out. It gets into the crevices of the colon to pull things out that have literally impacted. Like colors are gonna come out of you that shouldn't be coming out of you. Let's back to that. What does this say in super troopers? I'll believe me when me, shit comes out purple and tastes like rainbow sherbet. That could possibly happen. Fun movie, by the way. Fun movie. And I'm gonna put this on my, my channel too. So this is Intestinal Movement from my guys. This is from HelpForce. It's a great company. They have lots of stuff. They have like stuff for your liver, the scram. Like I did a liver detox once. Now I am not opposed to drinking. Down here, I know a lot of truthers are, but my whole view on that is if you, if you have your own personal demons to deal with, that's probably gonna come out when you're drunk anyway. And I don't have that. I've always been a very happy drunk. So I'm not opposed to it. But with that being said, I'm not really a big drinker because my lifestyle doesn't allow for that. So when I first did the liver detox, I was like, I don't know if I'm gonna need this. Like I'm not really giving my liver that much crap to work through. Holy crap. The amount of detox that came out of that liver when I did the scram, I was shocked. Well, the liver filters toxins out of your body. So if you're in an inner city, Bryce, and you're breathing in heavy metals, guess what? Goes in the liver. Yep. It's your body's trash can. Yeah. It is. I've got anger stored there too, so. Yeah. I've talked about the detox, the liver detox that I've done. I did it for like nine months straight. And we're like once a month for nine months. And I was the same, like I'm not, if I ever drank anything, I drank wine, maybe like once a month, like, you know, hardly anything. And I was shocked. Absolutely shocked. But I did it a little differently than Bryce. I did it with olive oil, lemon juice, and epsom salt. I've done that one. That one's a rough one. That one's rough. Yeah. That one's really rough. I never, I never. We have to help you with the liver. Yeah. I don't like women's now because of that cleanse. But so apparently like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is like on the rise from like 20 year olds, teenagers and that kind of stuff. And it's just a lot of our food. So like you don't have to even have an ounce of alcohol like you've ever taken. And that was my lesson because I thought my liver was fine. And it just, you know. One of the biggest ways to heal the non-fatty stuff, liver, is fasting. Yeah. And I'm not, I'm not someone like, I'm not saying guys that I, again, I want to re-enterate with these cleanses. I know people who have taken it too far with cleanses where they've been told by, are you Vedic doctors? Like you got to stop. You got to stop. Like this is, you're going to kill yourself. So you need to. Not much of anything is not good though. Yeah. Too much of anything. So I want to re-enterate that with people. Like as Liz said, you do it like once a month for nine months. And then you take a break and you let, he let the toxin go back up again. You know, it's like a game, you know, so. Well, I got pregnant. So I couldn't do it while I was pregnant. And then I was nursing, couldn't do it while I was nursing. That happened to me with intestinal movement formula. I got so, I went through the cleanse process. And then I felt so good that I just kept taking it every single day just to keep regulated. And all of a sudden one day I took it and I got nauseated and threw up. And I thought that I just gotten a bad batch of pills. And so I called help force and they were like, this is your body telling you that it's time to stop. I was like, oh. Oh yeah. One important aspect is you have to make sure your detox pathways are open. Cause if you're detoxing and those pathways are blocked, you're just making a big jam. Yeah. And then can actually be eliminated. Well, yeah. With that liver cleanse that you and I've done, you have to fast the day before, or at least I did. I fasted the day before. I had lots of water and minerals and then I did it. So that there was just like a clear pathway. And that's why, another reason why you should probably, for anybody who's really, you probably should go see an Ayurvedic practitioner just to make sure you're doing the best thing for your. So what works for me, and I said this with our exercise videos. So many people have not asked me to like give them a diet with the doshes. Like there's no diet to give you cause everybody's going to be different. Every vata, pitta is going to be different. It just depends on how much vata you have versus how much pitta you have, which is going to be different from different people. Same thing with these cleanses and these fasting things. That is why it's important to see some why. I mean, you can experiment with herbs and stuff, but I would definitely, if you're confused or concerned about these things, I would definitely go see a practitioner and talk to them about it and have them give you their best advice. Can I just bring something up? Why in the world would anybody ask Bryce to give him a diet plan? Please answer me that because that is not Bryce's responsibility. That's not my responsibility. That's your responsibility as the conduit of your own body. I think this is where we're staying the same attachments to the matrix. Because before this, we go to doctors. They give us a diet plan. We go to weight watchers. They give us a diet plan. We go to Jenny Craig. They give us a diet plan because we've been conditioned to believe that one size fits all. You have healthy foods, you have non-healthy foods. And that's just simply not true. That is not true. Broccoli is not healthy for me. Broccoli will hurt me. It's poison for my body. It's gotta be raw though for me. Raw broccoli is great. So you are a special little flower that needs its own special little flower food. And my diet is not gonna work for you. Even if you're about to pit to like me, my diet might not work because I might have more vata than pit to than you do. You might be more even in pit to vata. And so it's gonna translate differently as to how your body accepts energy. And so that is why a practitioner is going to be able to help you. And I am not an Ayurvedic practitioner. I know a lot about Ayurveda because it's a sister science of yoga. I know enough about it to inform me how I teach. For example, as a teacher, if Natalie was my student and Liz were both my students. So I look at Natalie, I see she's vata like me. I know Liz is Kapapitta. I'm assuming Natalie's probably vata pit to. I know that I have to teach Natalie different than Liz because if she's leading with vata, that means that Natalie has already got a lot of air which is gonna translate potentially to anxiety. And so I'm gonna have to teach her differently to try to balance that aspect of the way she's perceiving the lesson versus Liz. Liz is gonna be able to take a little bit more aggressive teaching actually. That's love, yeah. Whereas vata is not gonna be able to take that. And I see that with my teacher in India. He's very soft spoken with me when he teaches to me. Very soft spoken. But then he'll scream across the room at somebody else. Right, so you think about that way. So even as a yoga teacher, as an ashtanga teacher, I'm trained enough to be able to look at a student and be like, I kind of know what their leading dose is. So this has to now inform me how I handle them as a student because now I understand how they're taking information in through their energy cycles of thought. Same thing with your food. Same thing with detoxing. Same thing with fasting. You have a particular disposition of energy. And that is sacred to you. I feel like that just gave me so much insight on my marriage. That's why I was laughing at you now. I should take some notes because I'm pretty sure Johnny is a vata. Vata pitta. Like no wonder I have to be so like gentle. I was. So think about that. So you have to treat a vata in the manner of a kappa. So if a kappa is like a pot head without the pot, that's how you're gonna have to be the vata. Like it's fine because otherwise the vata is gonna be crying in the corner, rocking back and forth, having a nervous breakdown. Because that's how that's the disposition. They're really positive. I think it needs to be reprimanded like I'm vata. Well, I'm Tridosia. So I'm a special kind of special. Tridosias are the hardest because when you're only a dual dosha, you could just pull up the dosha that's lacking and that's usually how you can handle it. But when you're a try, you have to find that balance. I have too much fire. So don't be fiery at me. You gotta be a little bit more. It's okay. You could have a propensity for overdoing if you get aggressive, like becoming, and we have to look at the time of life too, right? So all of us, all five of us are in our pitta time of life right now. So when you're fiery, every child, every baby Levi is in the kappa time of life. It's hard to diagnose a child's dosha because they're still developing, but every child is in the kappa time of life because that's when you're cocooning, you're nice and like squishy and kids kind of want to get along, they're sweet, those are kids. Then after you go through puberty for everyone, you then go into pitta. That's the fire element. So that's when you're having babies and building your house and building your business as one of my RU Vedic teachers said, nothing's scarier than a mom in a minivan. Like that pitta like urr, like that pitta like, I gotta do this. The Karen's of the world, right? The real pitta. Then once we go through menopause for women, for men, you just gotta wing it because you've got nothing to really show you. You've entered into the vata stage, which is your cerebral mark. Is it expired or not? Yeah, it's the end of life, it's vata. So you start thinking more about spirituality, the afterlife, not for me as a vata. When I get to that vata stage of life, because I've already struggled with arthritis, I know that's something I have to look for because I'll be in vata vata. And I'm all for it. Maybe by then, you might have a couple hundred years until you get there. I know, I'm thinking that might all change once we flip into the 400 year cycle. We're gonna be in pitta for a long time. That's a great job. We're still in our prime. Bring on the fire, bring on the fire. So that also informs it as well. That also informs most people who are actively doing this are in their pitta time of life. And once you get into the vata time of life, that you're like, whatever, man, I may be wrong, good. It brings the light to a lot of different things and understanding just who we are. And I foresee that maybe teachers in the future, even children might have to adjust their teachings based off of how you do for your yoga students. That's actually very interesting that you bring that up. I never thought of that. That's crazy. Yeah, it's not. You have to. You have to. Pittas are actually the easiest to teach because they're already gonna get on the mat and try to work their butt off because, and that's my pitta comes out too in my mat as well because they're athletic. Pittas are athletes. They have good muscle, good pitta. Yeah, you're a real hard pitta. That's me. I was always the- I was very fiery. Yeah, I'm fiery. I'm athletic. My build is more muscular. It always has been. I always had the muscular thighs and I was the pitcher, because I could throw well and I was the swimmer. Yeah, that was me. Now, I did get a little pudgy and squishy, but that's going a while, so it's all good. Squishy. The pittas, they're not hard to like, kappas, you have to light the fire under a kappa, get them to, especially kappa vata. You really gotta get them to light that fire, but with- Alright, everybody's like the lighter on Natalie. That's what I was totally thinking. I was like in my mind, I'm like. Light, you're gonna light that fire. But once a vata kappa or kappa vata finds that fire, oh man, they change the most in the practice. They're the ones that change the most because they have that element coming in now, whereas people who are pitta, you have to sometimes be like, hold on, you're doing too much. Like, you don't need to do pinch my Ross into 20 times. Like move on next posture. You know, like, it becomes, you know. So that's where the pitta has to put, but as far as getting it to do it, they'll do it. You know, because pittas are like, they're athletes. You know, they're the people that will go eight hours on a soccer field, you know? I have a question now with this. Now, we'll end soon because we're almost at an hour and a half here. Whoa, we're just having too much fun. Now, let's say you have, let's say you're pitta, whatever, and you got fire in your birth chart. Does that make a difference? Like- I think so because I have air, I'm an aquarium, so I'm air and vata. That's also air, but I also have fire and the Leo was right. My son, you know, Rising is in Leo and then I'm also pitta as the second dosha. So I do think, in my opinion, Guruji was an astrologer, my teacher's teacher. And so he could look at somebody and know exactly what planetary alignment they were under and he would only do, so he went a step further where he would only do certain adjustments on certain days for you because of your personal planetary alignment. That is so awesome. I love that. That's shamanistic. That's so interesting. I can't do that, guys. If you come to my classes, I don't know how to do that. I can just do those stuff. Girl, I'm sitting here like, how do I figure that out? I'm like, that's the level I want to be at. I want to be like- The doyses, so the doyses family, they were astrologers for a long time and this is big in India. So they trained in it and I guess it's just the same as me being able to pick doshas by looking at people's personalities. Sure, the same thing. They were able to kind of see and he already knew because he studied cosmology, he studied the stars so much that he was able to kind of see the alignment and then know where people fell within their birth chart and if it was a day, that was good for you to get cranked, which the yoga surgery, where he could aggressively, if the plants were aligned perfectly, he would move in it and do it. That's working with your nature. You know, if it was not a good day for your alignment, you did not get the same type of adjustment. So there's so much that makes you as an individual, there's so much, not just the doyses, the astrology, all that kind of stuff makes you very unique, kind of like your thumbprint, your fingerprint is just yours. And that's why I can't give you a diet plan. That's why, because you really have to work with someone with you specifically, you know? Yeah. All right, well, this was fascinating. Wow, my mind is blown on some of the things I learned. This whole dosha thing is like explosion in the head. I think I had a brain implode just now. But anyways, I think this is like very informative. Maybe we'll have to do a part two to this one day because there's so much to talk about because we didn't get to alkalizing the body yet. So we'll do that next time if we decide to do a part two on this because that's important as well. But I wanted to thank you all for joining me on this wonderful round table. Thanks for having me. Kick ass, ladies. This is our move, Bryce. You guys have been doing it too. Whenever I go to India, and I come back from India, I'm always bubbling my head. It just happens because you're there for so long that you start bubbling your hands up. Oh my God. My teacher gets really mad. He's like, you are gonna throw your neck out. We bubble our head from the time we're little. Our neck's strong enough. You people don't. You're gonna throw your neck out. I'm like, I'm a runner. I'm bubbling my head. I'm bubbling my head. You got your head bubbling. That's funny. You're doing it a little slower. Well, apparently my friends from India tell me that there's a bubble for yes, no, maybe. I haven't learned that yet. I just see this. There's a different type of bubble, so I don't know. Oh my God. All right. Well, that's also fascinating. We can talk about it bubbling next. I'm very limber next. Very limber next. I love you all. Thank you. Thank you for having us. Bye, everyone. Bye.
