 The following is a presentation of TFNN. Time to talk about your health. Living a primal lifestyle with your hosts, Nico and Ellen DeHaan. Now, Nico and Ellen DeHaan. Good morning. I'm Nico DeHaan. Welcome to Living a Primal Lifestyle where we explore a return to a more balanced and natural wild world. To recover our natural health and regain our rights and freedoms. Good morning. I'm Ellen DeHaan. That's a beautiful morning. Downside at St. Petersburg, 63 degrees and sunny going up to 82. This is beautiful weather we're having. Yeah, I had to wear a little cover-up to get out of the car this morning. It's nice. It's pretty nice. Folks, please pick up our primal edge, our one-shot wonder. This is really important now that we have this virus going around. So if you want to get rid of the bad stuff and get the good stuff in, folic and humic acid is right there. I'd also like to remind you to also pick up our health signals newsletter. I've got it here someplace. Yep. Ketogenic diet helps tame the flu virus. We know this. If you're fat-adapted, you're in pretty good shape. The number here is 877-927-6648. Of course, you can reach us by email at... Ellen at tfnn.com. And Nico at tfnn.com. And here we are. I wanted to start this morning off with a thing about working from home. I thought it'd be appropriate. This comes from Bloomberg. Three hours longer, the pandemic work day has obliterated the work-life balance. It's six weeks into a nationwide work-from-home experiment with no end in sight. Whatever boundaries remain between work and life have almost entirely disappeared. Are you finding that happening? You know, when I started out, working from home was about a year and a half ago. Yeah. And for me, getting rid of the stress was the drive, the one hour in the traffic with the crazy people. And the bottlenecks everywhere. Yeah. And delays. And it was completely random and just a very, very stressful event. So I first noticed how relaxing it was to be able to get up and just do my routine in the morning, then sit down at the computer at 9 o'clock and get to work. Yeah. And so that sounded great. And then we switched over to working from home. I'm thinking, all right, no problem. I'm already doing this. Because of the epidemic. Yeah. The office moved to virtual work. But it turned out it wasn't the same. Because first I found myself with a number of clients that were panicking and trying to get assistance on how to handle this. I set down their buildings and renters and contractors and whatever. And then I found myself sitting at the computer at 5.30 at 6 o'clock. And that I was working more hours at the computer than I had been. And I'm not sure how that's working. And maybe it's because there's nothing else to do. Well, that's part of it too. But I noticed that in the beginning, you at 5 o'clock, we usually eat at 4 o'clock and then you kind of shut the computer down. Then you really don't go back. You might be doing other things. But another thing too, of course, we should mention in the type of work that you do is working with condos and co-ops and homeowner's association during this time when everybody's stuck at home. They have nothing to do either. Right, that's true. And they couldn't go back north. So we have all the snowbirds are still here. And the people are still working and still doing things. And then plus add the stress of not being able to go anywhere and do anything. So people are sitting in their units or their homes and finding more. It's too much time on your hands syndrome. And it's particularly difficult if you have children at home. Then you have the added hours and hours of time to spend because they're online for school or they're bored or they want mommy's attention or daddy's attention because you're home. Yeah, it says here that one big problem, there's no escape with nothing to do and nowhere to go. People like they have no legitimate excuse for being unavailable. One J.P. Morgan employee interrupts his morning shower to join an interrupt to meeting after seeing a message from a colleague on his Apple Watch. Yeah, and that's another problem because the days are kind of blurring together. I don't know. Today's Tuesday because I'm on the show. So that's a good thing. It helps me with an anchor for scheduling. People are losing track of what day it is and somehow and now I've started getting emails from clients on Saturdays and Sundays. Expecting answers too. Well, they haven't expected answers and I don't want to reward that and encourage it because I need my downtime, my break, but I keep an eye out just in case something came up that really did need attention. But people are finding that they're getting up, they're getting on emails and all hours of the day and night, they're feeling pressure also because there's so many layoffs and people are not, people are losing their jobs and then those who are working from home are feeling pressure to produce. Yeah, no doubt. And some companies have been a little more aggressive about Big Brother is watching. Well, you know, if they hadn't in the past, this was a perfect opportunity for them to say, okay, let's devise some systems for checking up on the people that we don't see because we usually see them and now we don't. So you have to kind of devise the checklist and, you know, call people and say, what's going on? What are you doing? Yeah, so this has changed things because things in America have gotten kind of relaxed in a lot of the workplaces where you're kind of working on your own and as long as that production level is there, the boss is not going to interfere with that. Yeah, and a lot of people have been working from home, particularly in areas, for example, and IT related areas and in areas that work from computers and really don't spend a lot of time interfacing with people. But I think what's going, at first we were thinking, all right, is working from home going to be something that now many more people will do because they've discovered how wonderful. And maybe once the kids are back in school, but now we're facing the summer. Yeah. And there may not be as many summer activities. A lot of the activities have been canceled for the kids and it's going to continue to be a challenge for families for months to come. Well, and also the businesses that don't reopen, one of the things I was gandering is that I think it was in 60 minutes they were talking about, they expect about 20% of the restaurants that have closed to reopen, 20%. 20%. That's a very low number. Wow. And here in Florida, a particularly problem because now we're entering the slow season and it's, you know, my work is kind of like summer now. Right. It has been. And so I haven't had that surge of income. Luckily, I'm okay. But now I have the summer months to go through and it felt like I've already gone through those summer months financially. Yeah, because yeah, people, the unfortunately personal training is not high on people's lists if they need to cut back or if they need to stay home. Well, the other side of this too, I was thinking, because I'm doing personal training, I'm doing one-on-one, that maybe I'll get the surge because people are more reluctant to go back to the big gyms and say, well, maybe I should social, you know, so maybe for me it'll be, I don't want to be too busy, you know, at my stage. It makes blessing. But there are some tips in this article for working from home and the first one being form of creating an itinerary to have designated workspace. We've talked about that in previous shows and, you know, all kinds of little tips. So, let's talk about a little bit of that when we get back from the break. In the meantime, I'd like people to remind them to please pick up our two things, the primal edge, which will help you get your health back together and the health signals or what you keep on track for that.

Distributor, Four Side Fund Services, LLC. Welcome back. We're talking about this three-hour-longer work date that we seem to be in because of this pandemic that we have. And some of the things that we mentioned before, was getting your own workspace in the house, setting a schedule for yourself. You really have to do that. And you have to come to an understanding, maybe with your boss or with your co-workers, about what the work hours are. And don't, you know, a mistake I would make was at eight o'clock when I'm looking at the paper and finishing my breakfast, I pick up the phone and open the email. And then right away everything blurred because you see something that really either gets you angry or upset or worried or you think, oh gee, I need to do this or that. And suddenly you're not on your schedule and you're starting, you're working different hours and you're extending your hours and you're not getting up from your seat. And you really have to establish your work time. And it's very important where you do your work. The article talked about it. If you set up in a place where you keep walking by the desk, you're going to be constantly stressed and reminded that you need to be sitting at that computer. So if you have an extra room, it's perfect. But if you don't, at least set up your workspace so it's not in the middle of your living space the best you can. And we kind of have half and half. But we did that for aesthetic reasons so you could look outside. That's the other thing. There's a balance there too. And what they're saying, they're saying about three hours more productivity out of the employees. But then the other side of that is are they going to be burned out sooner? It looks like they are starting to burn out between the pressures of being at home all day especially when you have children in the house and then the pressure of trying to keep up with everybody and finding yourself working extra hours and it's catching up with people and people are starting to say, boy, I'm looking forward to getting back to the office. Definitely a two-edged sword. So I think the important thing is to kind of realize this is going on and to kind of set those hours. I don't think it rehearts to go over those hours now and then but as the original schedule that you set up yourself, it's important that you stick to that and close everything up so you can have time to relax. Yeah, and if you don't take that time, if you don't have the down time in the evening and unwind, the longer you work and the closer to your bedtime, the more energy and stress your body has built up and you're not relaxing, getting ready to go to sleep and to do the healing and get the rest that you need. So how do you see this? I mean for yourself, you see this thing kind of just going on for the three years that you have planned, maybe two and a half years now that you have planned and then everything kind of goes different. You know, you talk about trying to phase out at some point in your career, you know. Apparently, phasing out is not an option because the work is there and my biggest switch was to remind myself to hand out the work to get help, not to try and do everything myself. And maybe the letter won't be exactly what I would have written, but you know what? It is what it is. As long as the answer is correct from a legal perspective, style doesn't matter. I mean, hopefully you don't quote Wikipedia, but... Many people are. Well, the other thing too, with me, I see my two and a half years left. I've got that lease, which ends in October, two years from now, two and a half years from now. And then I have the equipment there. I'm already kind of saying to myself, what am I going to do with this equipment? Do I sell it? Do I get rid of it? Specialized? And what do I do now? You know, I enjoy my mornings personal training. I enjoy the fact that I can train there myself. And also it's an escape from the house, in a sense. So I have a place to go. So now, two and a half years from now, this ends. What do I do now? No, I don't want to stay at home. So do I extend this? Do we move to a different area of the country where we can do different things? It's all up in the air. We don't know. So, I mean, for me, it's not a big stress, it's something that is getting closer and closer as we look at it. And time goes by alarmingly quickly, too. And you do have to give some thought to these things. And we're really talking about these different changes. And this article that you brought me a little while ago, I thought was interesting. It's called A Streetcar City. And this is basically looking at the United States, or one particular city, as what was going on in the 1900s. Washington, D.C. It's very interesting because when our civilization began, you had your town, your city, and I'm saying more recent since the industrial age. Yeah, this is talking about 1900. Right. So people lived, you lived very close to where you worked. You walked to work. You didn't have to worry about it. They didn't have cars for a while. Well, actually what they say, these American cities that were actually walking cities around 1900. And the reason I like this is because we see that today. We see more people walking. People actually walk to the store, carry groceries back. They're shopping closer to home. They're not going too far. And this is what used to happen in the 1900s. This is the way life was. There was very few products that you didn't get from your immediate area. In other words, you weren't getting bananas in New York at that time where you can get it now. Well, maybe not now, but you know what I mean. It was interesting because when we were in New York a number of years ago and did a lot of walking around. Yeah, that was fabulous. One thing we noticed was that there were little grocery stores kind of every few blocks. And some of the buildings that are being built now have stores and restaurants in the building. And so they're kind of getting back to being localized. But when the street cars got introduced into the economy, that's when suburbs started. Right. And we always think suburbs with the car. Right. But it wasn't. It was street car suburbs. Right. And people could get, they could get out of town a little bit on the street car. Right. And it was basically the richer people were actually instead of moving in, they were moving out to the suburbs because they could, because they may have had transportation. Maybe the street cars were there, but they also, the richer people probably had the new cars, the new wagons, those types of things that were going up. But also it's interesting because today the millennials are not big on driving. A lot of them don't even have their licenses. Right. So, and there's a lot of gentrification going on back into the cities and back into, and building reasonably priced apartment complexes for the millennials. And they also can't buy a house or don't want to buy a house, but they also have a lot of debt from college and so on. So it would be interesting to see if we, I think we may find more of a balance. Yeah, probably so. What really interests me in this is because I noticed when the first times that I came down to Florida when my parents were living here, we would take the small highways, not because the freeways weren't around at that time. And to me it was much more interesting going through these small towns, stopping in Tennessee and having something to eat was a mind blowing thing because very seldom did we see the fried chicken that they had down there up in Michigan or in Canada. So the culture was there and I always thinking these freeways are great for getting someplace fast but not too much for adding quality of life. Yes, and today we tend to be destination oriented. That's for sure. And then we'll be right back after this destination, folks. We'd like to tell you about the Personal Training Studio that Nico is the owner and president of Performance Training.

We're talking from this article, A Streetcar City, about around the 90s, about the 90s, about the 90s, about the 90s, about the 90s, about the A Streetcar City, about around the 1900s, that most of the cities that in America were walking cities, and most of the residents worked and shopped close to where they lived. But as the electric streetcar was built in the 1880s and 1890s and early 1900s, cities expanded and those city dwellers moved to the new trolley suburbs, as we mentioned, and they started socializing in town, so they started going into town as a destination. neighborhoods began and the success in selling to the suburbs to the middle class changed the neighborhood life. At first it was just the rich people, then the middle class came in and then the shoppers started to find produce and meat from regional farms, fruits and vegetables from across the country and a few products such as bananas from overseas. So this is where the food started distributing a lot different and we started experiencing different food which is kind of nice but is it healthy and this is something we're still trying to... Yeah, not eating locally. Exactly. Yeah. All that had to do with the road system and the trucks and the trains and then once the trains got going that's when the dispersal of families began that you weren't staying in the town where you were born, you weren't marrying in the town and having your children having your parents around, having your grandparents around and it really changed the whole dynamic of the family. That's right and so the American family changed right at that time and it continued to change because of this food system that we kind of invented at that time and today we see the value of local food because now we're stuck indoors and we can only go a certain area and when the food's not there and it's funny that it didn't really start with food for us, it started with toilet paper and paper goods and we still are short on the paper goods. Yeah. Are they all made in China? I don't know. Yeah, no, it's a good question. I've been trying to figure that out but traffic and commuting and these days it's so nice to drive down to St. Petersburg because the traffic is quite a bit lighter than it generally is but for interest to me is things like I keep seeing articles about animals wandering into town and here it's the sea turtles which are generally a world war going on every year because they can't get on to the beaches with so many people, their nesting is disturbed and so on but so I think we're going to have a huge bumper crop of sea turtles this year because of the ability to nest unmolested on our beaches and I think that's true all over Florida. I've been looking at articles, there's this one that happens to be regarding the Broward County over in Fort Lauderdale area beaches. So now all of a sudden the turtles are really booming I guess, so there's no people on the beaches so things have changed a lot and I think this really impacts our health I've often said so and so the health of the turtles might be going up where our health may be going down because of this or are people paying more attention to what they're eating because they're home certainly we've changed our habits we don't go out anymore we do go out just to get out of the house and take a little ride now and then but we're cooking a lot more you know the two or three times that we used to go out which doesn't seem like a lot but boy you really notice the impact because now we're discovering new foods that you know we have a couple different places where we go see sushi we go maybe this place has great fried foods and you know so we always have our little favorite haunts to go to for specialty foods that we really like and now we're discovering well we can actually make these at home and we probably make them at home better it's probably gonna be healthier because of that but the going out is still a big pull yeah well it's just getting out of the house having a routine and seeing our you know you make friends with the servers and the bartender and it's just like going going to see friends right it's a nice social event you talk to people in the restaurant whatever they what one of the things that struck me particularly was a photo that I saw of New Delhi India mm-hmm and new dad the picture of New Delhi India from from November of 2019 where it was completely engrossed and encased in smog and today it's crystal clear sky is blue there was an eagle flying over the city yeah and it's it's staggering now that's just a few months of time without the traffic right and that's that really brought home to me how much pollution and detrimental impact on the environment we have just with all the cars and now I know there's a lot of studies about climate change and so on and and that you know the cars are not necessarily responsible for a lot of these things but it was always carbon monoxide back in the 70s that we were about never carbon dioxide I don't know when that switch took place but pollution is still bad and we all agree on that yeah there's a guy here that his name is Douglas tall Tommy and about 20 years ago he started this kick on wilding and this is a great thing of course I've always been the one who wants our yard naturally you like that too because if plant some we plant something and live is great if it doesn't and we're not that upset about it probably shouldn't have planted it right now we don't have that issue because everything's really balanced yeah it looks really nice but this fellow is he wants to unleash the wild on your backyard but not just on the bed on the on the backyard also on all these little parks that we have all around and you know they all look immaculate they're all groomed and this is not a natural way naturally and the natural way a lot of people really don't know that if you just let that place go it a lot of wild stuff grows in there and this guy did the same thing he he was looking in his backyard and he wanted to let it grow naturally so he let it go for a long time then he noticed there was a lot of invasive species in there so he wanted to get invasive species out there and when that happened then the natural local fauna kind of took over and he found it really pleasant and really nice and it looked good it didn't look like these these immaculate yards that everybody has the picture yeah yeah this is what a natural backyard could look like well of course he has 20 acres or something like that you know that for sure but I do notice even in our yard and butterflies are flying around now and it's been a while since I've seen the butterflies on the flowering plants yeah and they we have a lot more birds this year yeah then we did for years yeah and cup hair cardinals woodpeckers yeah and that's one of the things he mentioned he spent he mentions that he didn't have a lot of birds and a lot of natural wildlife going in there until the bugs and the caterpillars and everything like that started coming on the native plants apparently the caterpillars and the worms and everything really didn't like these invasive species but when he took the invasive species out then the caterpillars came and when the caterpillars came the birds came so you need foods for birds and it's pretty fascinating that you can do this with everything I mean the free ways with the the burn in the center we could make that more wild in fact I always thought we need to have those freeways a little higher so that the animals and everything can go underneath and not be smashed by the cars I did see a very disturbing video a number of videos of a very large alligators climbing fences yeah yeah you showed me that was kind of a staggering well we didn't know it could do that but they're lizards that they can climb anywhere well but they never had to do that now that they're fences along you know things like the the alligator alley across the bottom of the state of Florida from southeast Florida to Naples Fort Myers you got a lot of fencing we will be right back folks you know what's cool taking something that's good for you something specifically formulated to help with weight loss better sleep stress reduction and the need to detox.

species of gut bacteria and the severity of COVID-19 if you search the medical literature you'll probably find links between gut health and any illness you can imagine and this kind of started with a hypothesis all diseases begin in the gut he said and poor gut health has been linked to a broad range of diseases and health conditions from depression to diabetes and cancer obesity autism autoimmune disease and since we're talking about stress and adding more hours to your workday at home not the kind of relaxed atmosphere we were talking about a couple of weeks ago and we know that and with me this has been a lifetime thing going on with my gut I've always had problems with my gut and only when I stopped eating the wheat and the grains and not so many nuts my health has improved a lot and who knew that the connection was there because this was some of the foods that our government and these food companies were promoting as we need something essential for us yeah well the food pyramid had the grains as the basis for the good diet and yeah and you talked on other shows about the the big companies the cereal companies and how they created cereal yeah and that's a horror story in itself with Kellogg and he was kind of a maniac too but it's very important to understand that the gut is where everything takes place as far as food is concerned and food is the thing that makes us healthy so it's important to notice whether you're constipated or you're bloating or you have diarrhea this is your body signaling the you that there's a problem and the problem is the food if you take your dog or cat to the veterinarian the first question what did you feed them when we go to the doctor not so much yeah right they don't ask you what you eat no never that at these days they ask you to give a list of all the medications you're on and then they say oh and make sure you put down your vitamins is because that's all medications right and but food isn't but they don't ask you what you eat no they don't so they yeah it's it's completely screwed up so everybody gets a little constipated then we always have you know somebody times you have the run you feel bloated especially after a large meal or if you're drinking a little alcohol with it or maybe you had too much dessert whatever the reason is these things are a sign of an hell unhealthy gut and this is something that you need to straighten out and one of the things that they mentioned here is that being overweight and obese is not a natural right mission right having food tolerances intolerances and allergies is not normal being constipated and bloating and having diarrhea is not normal having depression and anxiety is not normal having skin problems are not normal and having autoimmune disease yeah I think the point is here that there's there's physical manifestations and then there's emotional and mental manifestations and what we have to remember is that the gut is where all of the absorption of the nutrients for the food goes into your system yeah it's like when you're a teenager and all of a sudden the pimples start popping out at 13 and you wonder well that this is just hormones now it's the hormones that are reacting with what you're eating and you stop eating the grains and things like that and those acne usually go away for most people and that's interesting because a lot of people say well it's the chocolate and you know it's the fat but but it it's actually the the grains that that when you stop eating the grains that a lot of people get a clearing of the skin that's right so what really causes unhealthy gut well the number one thing here they mentioned is stress stress can directly induce leaky gut and stress can take many forms as we all know by foot that finances you have marital strife you're unemployed you get too much exercise you're not enough exercise lack of sleep this sounds like COVID really does doesn't it and poor sleep has is another indication if you're not sleeping it could be that you're not digesting the food or maybe you ate too late and the food is digesting whether you're trying to sleep and it's hard to do both then and if you don't go to bed at a reasonable hour good you have to kind of figure out what's your ideal number of hours of sleep what do you feel the best right and usually between 7 and 8 or 9 or 6 to 8 maybe it just depends on the person now some people thrive on less sleep right some people need 8 hours they feel they need 8 hours and you know but sleeping too much is a sign of depression and and unhealthy things and if you sleep very long hours then it also interferes with your ability to get the right foods and and to digest it now the next one here inadequate dirt exposure now this is what you don't think of usually too sterile environment causes too sterile a gut we are we are made to spend time in nature hands feet getting dirty exposed directly to the natural soil teaming with trillions of bacteria we're meant to eat produce directly from the ground and nature didn't intend us to always wash it so we've got things completely backwards playing in the dirt the vegetables yeah exactly when you want some of that humic and folvic acid in there that's where it comes from but today do we want to eat the dirt that's out there of course probably not if we're on a farm into that nice pasture that that guy with the 20 acres had then you're talking well you talk a lot about when you are a kid and you would be digging around in the dirt and all the kids and there's articles out there about the fact that they you pick up very important micronutrients and and immunities so we only didn't do it just as kids I remember that my dad digging for worms so we go go fishing my dad and always was and I went hiking and looking for snakes and rumbling through things my mother would be doing gardening exactly they'd be out there messing with the flowers or the little garden that they had they got dirty too it wasn't just us children but as kids nobody I don't think today the kids aren't going outside and they're sitting at their computers or the babysitter internet you know and so they're not even getting the little bit as children right and a lot of schools have eliminated recess and all things and not enough exercise or too much and as as we were children on Saturday morning running out the screen door and let it slam and not seeing our parents or the house until supper time it's got to be dark lots of exercise involved in there we didn't call it exercise we called it fun and being out with our buddies so the world is upside down the other thing is too many antibiotics naturally that is something that you know is if you take antibiotics on a regular basis you you've got to change your lifestyle and then what are the worst foods for the gut and the first thing that pops is the refined carbs a lot of the things that we see people getting now because they're kind of panicking so lots of bags of chips and popcorn going out the door it's not a lot of really good food I see but yeah and you know gluten was a major thing I don't know if it was gluten a problem for me but certainly when I took the cereals out of my life everything kind of changed so we've only got a few minutes left in the next after the next break but we want to go over a few things that are the best things for

So we have a few minutes left to talk about the best food for gut health fermentable fiber. Now this is fiber that you can ferment naturally. And the first thing I always think of would be like cabbage and things like that. They also mentioned here asparagus and carrots and artichokes and onions and things like that. These are and when you ferment plants they keep for a long time. And this is why our ancestors fermented them because during the winter they're not out there. So you have to keep them somewhere and fermenting them is a good way to do it. They mentioned things like chocolate and berries. But the biggest thing it's a high cacao dark chocolate. Yeah the dark chocolate. Yeah. Skin bones and broth. They mentioned meat down here. And they also mentioned pistachios and things like that. These resistant starch if you know what resistant starch is this is starch that's been cooked a couple of different times. So if you take a twice baked potato is much healthier than just potato by itself because by doing that the double cooking you're taking more and more of these toxins out. Remember plants really don't like to be eaten. They have toxins in there. So we need to cook them. We need to ferment them. We need to sour them. But yeah everybody probably has a favorite type of food that you think of when you're not feeling well. I remember just even Werner's ginger ale up north in Canada. If I had a stomach that wasn't feeling my mother would give me Werner's and might even heat it up or make it with tea too. So yeah yeah it's a cool thing. So you haven't had Werner's yet you really. Yeah Werner's experience is a pretty cool. I think very gingery. Yeah very gingery. But these are some of the favorite foods that we keep around and pistachios we like those for sure. But the thing is don't eat too many of them. Right. The main thing meat here is very easy to digest source of B vitamins and nutrient dense safe food for even damaged guts it says. And then they say you have to be careful about eating plant food if you have a lot of damage to your gut. Right. This is why things like sushi and all these different types of foods really digest really easily. Well that's our show today and thanks for sticking around and we will be back next week and be safe out there folks. Be well.
