 All right, just going to give it a couple seconds and then we can start. So we were having trouble over on Vanessa's page, so we're just going to do the live here, which is perfect. Let's see, I'm going to try to invite. We're just waiting. Oh, I think we got it. I'm glad this worked out. Just waiting. I don't know if you wanted to wait a few seconds for more people to join or if you wanted to start now completely up to you. I just brought a tea with me. Oh, nice. I should have done the same thing. Oh, now I'm like, oh, we should give us a tea. Now, I don't mind waiting a bit longer. I'm happy to do that. No rush, really. Sounds good. So I was looking on your Instagram feed. I was kind of scrolling back a ways. How long have you been kind of leading a healthy lifestyle? Oh, it's been a few years now. So I actually started leading like a healthier lifestyle when my twin sister became like gluten intolerant. And I thought that was really interesting because I was in gluten intolerant at the time. I was like, because we're twins, I was like, this is really strange. And it kind of got me into the whole like what causes intolerance is to develop, especially like later in life. And I just thought so was like a little rabbit hole that I entered down into and I just got really interested in how nutrients work in the body and how they can actually help the body to heal itself. And then from there, I've been super like just intrigued by how the like whole body works. And yeah. Awesome. How did you get into it, Marlon? It's been probably about four or five years total for me. I had many different autoimmune disorders. And they were getting worse. So I had psoriasis and IBD, PCOS, I had a lot of issues and they just kept getting progressively worse and my diet was horrible. I was using all the fragrances and you know, just completely unhealthy living. So kind of just when I realized that like the mainstream typical medical suggestions weren't working for me, I started looking for another solution to my issues. And that's kind of where I started dipping my toes into the natural world. And when I got results, I just kind of kept going and it snowballed from there. So it's been good. That's amazing. You kind of look at that as like a bit of a blessing, don't you? When you think, oh, like, I know it was like such an awful thing to go to, but it's like led you on to like a really healthy kind of lifestyle now. Oh, 100%. I know it's in the time I was like, why is this happening to me? And, you know, feel like sorry for yourself, hating your life, but looking back, it's even like my career, my business, it's all thanks to, you know, those past couple of years. So can't complain. Oh, that's so cool. Alrighty. I'll start with the first question. We'll go from there. So my first question for you is like, how important is detoxification in the body? So how can we improve detoxing in the body to like say like the liver, like what foods and things can help with that? So for the first part of the question, just like, you know, we live in a really, really toxic world. And I say this all the time. So my OG followers will know all this already. But just like, you know, you walk outside and we're bombarded with pollution from cars, from smoke, from, you know, fields being sprayed with pesticides. Our food supply is incredibly deficient in nutrition. And it's completely smothered in chemicals, sprays, toxic ingredients, half of it's genetically modified. And then all the products that we're using on our bodies are our makeup, our shampoos, our perfumes, deodorants, literally everything that we touch is chemicals. And it just kind of, when you think about how many chemicals you are like consuming, but also exposed to within a day, can kind of blow your mind. It's pretty incredible when you just really sit down to think about everything, including the paint on your walls and the closing layer and literally everything is toxic. So if you're exposing yourself to, you know, just the basic toxins every single day, but then on top of that, you have a bad diet, and maybe even are really stressed, which produces more toxins. Over time, your body gets so full of toxicity, it just gets, it starts to get congested. And you're not able to eliminate toxins as effectively as you were maybe when you were born. And once toxins are building up in your body, they stay in your body and they damage your cells, you become extremely acidic, very, very inflamed. And then the more and the longer that you have this degree of toxicity, your enzyme pathways start to fail. So you're no longer digesting or detoxing and your detoxification pathways, like I mentioned, are getting blocked. So it kind of gets more and more toxic. And as you go through the years, especially if you don't do something about your lifestyle, that's kind of how disease will start to form. So definitely, I think everybody and it's funny because my followers or clients will always say to me, you know, how long do we have to detox for? And I tell them technically forever, you might not need to be on all the supplements and stuff forever, but you should be consciously understanding that you were exposed to toxins daily. So you should be supporting your body's ability to eliminate daily, whether it's with a cup of herbal tea a day or hot lemon water in the morning, or even just a clean diet. Definitely really important. For most of us, I would say the liver and kidneys are the most important organs to support, just to make sure that you're staying in balance over the years. So I use, like I personally, you will use homeopathics to drain the system. And it takes several months, sometimes a couple of years depending on how toxic the person is. But if it's someone who's looking for a basic guideline, like non homeopathic, just something basic that they can do to start supporting their liver, I would highly suggest doing like a quarter cup of pure organic grapefruit juice every single day. You can do it right in the morning when you wake up. You can add some lemon to it, just be careful with the enamel on your teeth, drink through a straw. I always um, swish my mouth with chlorophyll after I have something sour, just to protect the pH of my mouth. But definitely grapefruit and lemon are fantastic. And then I also really like doing herbal teas. I personally like nettle and dandelion root, which are great for both the liver and kidneys. I saw you actually just had a post on dandelion teas. So you get that. Oh, yeah, it's great. And it's so affordable too. I mean, if you can even, if you have dandelion in your backyard, I mean, that's great. And you can literally be free. And then there's like, like usually some kind of greens I personally like chlorophyll or a chlorella or spirulina, just make sure they're organic. Those are great to kind of detox as well. So that's the starting point. Did you have a question for me to expand on or did you want me to jump into the food section of this question? I was also going to ask you would like saunas and things be good for detoxing and stuff like that because it helps you to sweat. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. I think everyone should be exercising to sweat. But yeah, saunas. I try to do like a weekly or at least a few times a month. And then if, if you have the disposition that you can do that, I know some people have blood pressure issues and things like that, and they might not be able to be in that much heat. But you could also do, and this is great rate before bed, a very hot bath, a hot bath that's very, very hot, but you don't want to sit in it for more than eight minutes. And you don't want to do this more than twice a week, but a really, really hot bath, and you can even throw epsom salts in there, sit in it for eight minutes, start to sweat. It really starts to detoxify the body and then go lie down and sleep, and your body will cleanse quicker at night if you do that. Well, that's awesome. I was saying it helps you sleep, too, because it relaxes you. So for my second question, it was how do you avoid encountering toxins from like our water supply, food, personal care products and things like that? Kind of what you talked about, because they're like everywhere. Oh, absolutely. I think water is where you should start. So I know it can seem overwhelming. If you have, if you're living right now, what I call a toxic lifestyle, where you're just using generic products for cleaning, for makeup, etc., and you're drinking out of plastic bottles, just very toxic living. It can be overwhelming to start thinking about everything that you need to switch, because it really can get expensive and it can get very stressful when you're like, where do I start? So start with water. That's something you're putting in your body, probably more than anything else. So I always suggest getting a good filter. There are a lot depending on your budget, but for me personally, I'm a fan of the Berkey filter. I can even type it here in the comments. Let's see if I can do that. For those who haven't heard of it, I'm pretty sure it's available worldwide. I know for sure Canada and the US, but I'm pretty sure you can get it in Australia and anywhere else. It's a great filter because it filters your typical chlorine, fluoride, arsenic, so your heavy metals and all of that, but it also filters pesticides and herbicides, like glyphosate, round up from that. Especially if you live out in more of the country where there's a lot of farms, when they're sprayed, water goes down and then it goes to the lowest point. So typically wells and lakes and things like that. So depending where your water's coming from, it's probably full of pesticides. And then it also filters mold and I'm not sponsored or affiliated with this company, they're just great, just FYI, but it does filter mold, parasites, and they say even viruses. So it's a good filter. They do have mini ones, they can get a bigger one, so it's for every price range. If you can't afford that or you can't get your hands on that, even a basic filtration system that filters chlorine and fluoride is better than not doing any kind of filtering at all. So just to kind of eliminate some of those heavy metals, I would say start with water. Once you've gotten that under control and you're happy with the water situation, you can start considering products that you're putting on your skin. So it's really important to remember that our skin absorbs everything that is put on it, then all of those toxins and those products enter the bloodstream. So sometimes products that we're putting on our body can be more toxic than food. If you were to eat something that, you know, toxins in it, there's a better chance of you not absorbing that than something on your skin because if you eat something, it kind of goes into the intestinal system and gets eliminated through your stool and only a small amount will actually absorb into the colon through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. So you're absorbing less when you eat than if you were to put something directly on your skin. So it is important to switch products. I say start with whichever product you're using every single day. For most people, it's usually toothpaste and deodorant and those are pretty affordable to switch out as well. There's a lot of brands out there that are really clean, natural, chlorine, fluoride, aluminum free. So you can start there and then based on your finances, you can start to switch more products like detergents, dish soap, makeup, etc. Okay, awesome. What would you say for like, you know how indoor toxins are supposed to be like, like 10 times worse than outdoors? Is there anything you could do for your hymen that you could help with eliminating indoor toxins and things like that? Yeah, absolutely. That's very true too. People don't realize that their homes are far more toxic than the outside typically because they have a lot of fragrances and things like that. A couple of things you can do is number one, a lot of people have mold and they don't even know it. So if you have any dampness at all in your basement or even in any part of your house, or if you have seen mold growing on windowsills or in the shower, that's the most important toxin to eliminate before anything else because that can disrupt every body system. You're endocrine, you're digestive, you're neurological. Once you breathe in mold spores, they multiply internally and create a lot of inflammation and toxicity. So start there. If you're, if you do have any kind of mold or dampness or a musty kind of smell, I would get a dehumidifier and run it all the time. So just pull moisture out of the air and then you can also like, again, depending on budget, diffuse antifungal essential oils like clove or cinnamon or lavender or lemon. And then if you don't have an issue with mold, if your air is dry and good, then I would definitely consider getting one indoor plants, the greener the better. So flowers are not really considered indoor plant to me. I would say something nice and green and full. I have plants literally all over my house. They filter your air. It's what they do. And they also give you higher oxygen levels, which is better for you to detoxify. So we try several plants per room. Usually we, in the kids room and stuff, we have like one or two, some rooms in the house will have one, but if it's a large room, we'll have a few. And that's really a forward-looking thing to do. And they last a while if you take care of them. So I would do that. The second thing would be depending on your budget, an air filter. You can get pretty affordable ones on Amazon or you can get really expensive bigger ones, depending on your budget. And they usually will filter mold and dust and just the basic toxins that are within the air. So definitely look into that at least. And then also slowly starting to eliminate kind of what I mentioned in the last question is start to get rid of your fragrances. If you have toxic candles burning that are scented, try using that to either use essential oil candles or diffuse essential oils or make a room spray and spray your room with like natural essential oils to make your home smell nice, but in a clean way. If you have like febrize plugged into your wall or if you use like a febrize spray or something in your rooms, just try to start cutting that out because that's what really puts a lot of pollution into your air indoors. So those are some places I would start. So good, so much great advice. I really like the idea about the plants too because it also like brightens your home, makes it look a little bit nicer. Absolutely, it's beautiful. For my third question, I was going to ask you like what diet do you follow for like optimal health? Because everyone has so many different opinions, but there's like veganism, there's paleo, there's, you know, pescetarium, there's just so much it kind of gets confusing to find out kind of what you like, I guess is like the kind of not best but kind of I guess ideal path to follow when it comes to diet. I was wondering in your opinion, what do you think is a great diet? For me personally, I think I really firmly believe in individual wellness. I don't think there's two people in the world who should be following the same, you know, just generic type of diet. I think that everyone should eat based on what their body needs. Just in general, obviously an anti-inflammatory, pure diets where you want to start. So that means cutting out processed refined foods, getting a lot of vegetables, organic if possible, a good quality organic proteins, whether it's seafood or meat or even a vegan source. So just starting to pull out, you know, like the fast foods and the chips and things like that's always where everyone should start and everybody can benefit from that. But as far as if the actual diet goes, I know there's a lot like paleo, keto, vegan, etc. It can get overwhelming when you're trying to decide what's right for you. I think that if you're in the middle of a health crisis, so say for example, you have high cholesterol and you're like, what kind of diet should I follow? The diet that you'll follow while you have high cholesterol will be a temporary diet. And then once you manage your cholesterol and you're feeling better and your health is back on track, then from there you should just lead a healthy lifestyle where you're having the majority of your foods are natural, clean, fresh vegetables and, you know, complex carbs, lean proteins, things like that. And then little small amount of treats here and there. I don't think that at least for me, I don't think that anyone should be 100% strict with their diet or cut out anything 100% unless they have an allergy. Just because we only do have one life and we do want to enjoy it. And I know a lot of times if you're going to a family member's house or out with friends, it can be exhausting to constantly have to deny something that somebody cooked or, you know, something that you really just want to enjoy. So as long as it ever, if you're eating something that's, you know, not healthy, but you're doing it in moderation, it's okay. So kind of backtracking again, if you have a current health condition. When I was doing my Candida cleanse, for example, I cut out carbs. I'm not going to be carb free to lose my life. So that was for a period. Some people I know who have a horrible reaction to carbs will go keto for a while. And that works well for them. But again, you don't want to do keto diet for your whole life because you will become deficient in certain nutrients. So following any type of diet in my opinion is temporary, and it should only be done out of necessity. And then once you're out of that crisis, then you kind of go back to just living a balanced life where you are conscious of the of the ingredients you're putting in your body. So saying no to food colorings and to additives and preservatives and just eating actually is, in my opinion, the way to go. And that kind of looks different for everyone. I kind of follow, I want to say more about Mediterranean diet, where I have like some complex grains, whether it's rice or quinoa, I have a lot of vegetables and fruit, lots of like lemon and olive oil, and then more seafood and a small amount of animal meat. Maybe I eat like chicken or a lamb once a week max. And I do more like a salmon or scallops or something else instead for my protein, but more plant based, just like a lot of vegetables and things like that. So that's kind of how I eat. And that's what works for me. But I'm always very conscious of, yeah, ingredients for sure. Cool. That's a great answer. Because I was actually really, I love how you answered that in terms of it's very much individual. Because I did hear that our microbiome does determine a lot of what we'll be able to eat, because some people can have nut chaid vegetables, whereas some people can't because of the microbiome and how it kind of digests and impacts us through that, which I thought was really interesting. So it's very bright when you said it's very individualistic. I thought that's very cool. So we just have to try out what works for us and see how we go from there, I guess. Yeah. And I think like, I get this question often where people will say, you know, I have candida overgrowth or I have eczema or acne, I'm cutting out all of these foods and I'm going keto and I'm going to be keto the rest of my life. And they think that that's how they have to be or that they have to be paleo for the rest of their life or, you know, et cetera, following the autoimmune diet the rest of their life. And that's definitely not the case. I think unless you genuinely want to be keto the rest of your life, which I don't think is healthy, I think you'll be deficient right away in many nutrients over time. Unless you want to do that, I think again, it's something that any diet, so anything that has an actual label is something that should be followed out of necessity for a period of time until your health is back on track. And it could be a few months or a couple of years, so whatever, you know, is working for that person. But then once again, that they're at a point where they're feeling great, then just at that point, start eating all the foods again, if that's what you'd like, but just again, looking at the quality of the food is the most important what you're putting in and just making sure that there's a balance. You don't want to have a high, high sugar and starch diet and tiny amount of veggies. You want to do really nourishing foods and try to be in balance with it like with your protein, your carbs, things like that. So I don't, I'm not a diet person. If someone tells me I'm falling a diet forever, I'm like, that's probably not going to stick. It's not probably the healthy way to go. Oh, that's awesome. So, sorry, confused my questions. What are some of the most common heavy metals that we encounter? And how can we avoid them or help our bodies, I guess, eliminate them? So like you said before, detoxifying, using all those things. Is there anything specifically for heavy metals that we could do? Because I know a lot of you actually encounter heavy metals and don't realize. Definitely. Yeah. So usually we encounter a lot of heavy metals, which people don't realize it mostly comes through our drinking water and our grains. So for example, most brands of rice have actually quite high arsenic levels, which is quite toxic if you're consuming a lot of it. So I would always check when it comes to grains, the brand that you're purchasing, if they've tested for arsenic and other heavy metals. But that's kind of, for another question or another day. But as far as heavy metals, arsenic is up there. Copper is quite high as well. We do, we are exposed to some lead and then fluoride and even mercury as well, depending on the type of fish you're having. Fluoride would be mostly your drinking water or your toothpaste, things like your mouthwash, that kind of stuff. And then aluminum is pretty common as well in our deodorants and our makeup. So we are exposed to a lot of heavy metals. The problem with heavy metals is exactly how they sound. They're heavy, which means once they're in our system, they kind of sit and they kind of get stuck. And it's hard for our bodies to eliminate them. You actually have to take something to bind to the heavy metals and pull them out. Depending on how long you've been exposed to heavy metals, for most of us, it's unfortunately since birth, because of the water that we've been drinking or infants who are put on a formula, even are exposed to a lot of heavy metals through formula. So most of us, it does come back down to childbirth. And if you think about it, if you've had heavy metals in your system for that long, a lot of them are very hard to come out because heavy metals target mainly your joints and your neurological system. So brain and nerves, which means that's kind of where they're going to be getting stored is brain tissue, joint tissue. And it's hard to eliminate those, especially if you're in monk duties. So your elimination organs like your liver and kidneys and all that aren't working well. So for anyone, if you're starting and you have heavy metals, it's never a protocol you want to start with. If you find out you have all these health issues, don't start by doing a heavy metal cleanse, because you're probably going to be unsuccessful and the metals won't actually be eliminated. You always want to start by liver and kidney cleansing first. Get those elimination organs ready to handle a heavy metal cleanse. If you have mercury fillings like mercury and melgums, those should be removed if possible in a safe way. So look for a dentist who knows their stuff and how to eliminate them or remove them safely. But those should be pulled out. If you're drinking heavy metals through your water or you're using makeup products that are heavy metals, that should all be eliminated first. Because if you're trying to pull out heavy metals, but you're still consuming them or they're still in your body or being put into your body, you're never actually going to again be successful. So there's a lot of work to do before you get to that point. Once you're at that point and you have your liver and kidneys working better with whether it's herbs or homeopathics or whichever route you go, there's a couple things that I personally like. So cilantro herb, usually you can get capsules. Cilantro is great to bind to heavy metals and eliminate them. One of my other favorite products is chlorella powder or capsule, whichever works. People don't realize how amazing chlorella is. I know a lot of people who are vegan consume it a lot and they understand, but for most people, they don't think to consume chlorella. It doesn't taste the best, but it works so good. It's a key later, so it pulls things out of tissues and then dumps it into the blood. And once it's in the blood, then your liver and kidneys will eliminate it from there if they're working well. So those are my two. Cilantro and chlorella are great. Awesome. Is chlorella in any sort of foods that you could have a lot of to help supplement and eat lots of foods rich in that as well? It's like an algae, so if you're eating any kind of seaweeds, you'd be consuming it probably, but you'd have to have a large, large, large amount for it to have an effect. And then one thing is, yeah, when you're consuming chlorella as a heavy metal detoxifier, it needs to be on an empty stomach. Otherwise, it just kind of mixes with food and it doesn't actually get into the bloodstream to do what it needs to do. So if you want it to actually be a heavy metal detoxifier, it needs to be without food. So I wouldn't suggest like, obviously consume chlorella foods like algae and things like that. They're good for you, but they won't work as a heavy metal detoxifier. So you would need the supplement. Okay, awesome. So you'd like the therapeutic benefits of it, I guess. And also vitamin C as well is really important for having food oils too. Oh, awesome. For skin health, so how can we improve our skin health? Say we have like eczema, sobriacis, dry skin, or acne. Do you have any tips for that? Because a lot of us do end up suffering with something on our skin at one stage or another in our life. For anybody with a skin issue, again, whichever you just listed, it doesn't matter. You want to look at the health of your intestinal system. People try to fix their skin from the outside and it's a Band-Aid and it's not successful. So if you try to just do antibiotics or you try to just use creams, I know so many brands will sell creams to clear your eczema or your acne, but it's coming 100% from the internal system, not the external. So ditch all the creams and things and start working internally. For some people, there's major parasitic and pathogenic overgrowth, whether it's Candida or bacteria, there's usually major overgrowth. For others, it might not necessarily be overgrowth, but it could just be major toxicity within the colon. So start within your intestinal system and do good cleanses. So one cut out all sugars, processed fats, like fat oils, anything greasy, deep fried and go for fresh vegetables through whole grains and lean protein. So start there with diet to just start stimulating your detoxification again. When you eat fatty foods or sugary foods, it prevents detoxing from happening. It kind of clogs up the liver and your elimination organs and you just hold on to toxins. So we want to release coming back to, sorry that was the phone, coming back to Clorella. That is something that I personally use for almost all my clients for colon cleansing and it is amazing for the skin. It brightens the skin over time if you're using it long enough. It is just incredible. It alkalizes the body. So when you have a skin condition, it's usually because you're too acidic. And if you're too acidic, you're going to have your minerals depleted. So things like magnesium and calcium, which are keeping you alkaline, those will get depleted as your body is trying to balance the pH and sink as well. And so then you start to notice your skin is just, it doesn't look healthy. It's discolored, you'll get acne, you'll have flaking or dryness. So taking Clorella not only cleanses the colon, it alkalizes you. So it's kind of like a two in one. Works really well. And then, sorry, phones are going off like crazy here. Once you've done like a just like a colon cleanse and you've done your dietary changes, I would always suggest some kind of pathogenic detox. So usually a Candida and parasite cleanse. You might not have parasites, but if you do like a Candida and parasite cleanse, it just targets fungus, bacteria, any pathogens in the colon. So I would just suggest doing that. And you'll notice me so incredibly shocked at how good your skin starts to look just by changing your diet and cleansing the colon. From there, you can, if you have autoimmune or if you have nutrient deficiencies, you can start to then do more protocols to address that. But that's always my starting point. And it's, it's a lot of things, a lot of the time people have to just change their diet and that's enough. But if that's not enough, then you're really looking into cleaning up your, your colon literally. And it can take a couple weeks, a couple months for some people it takes a year. And just like one last point, something that I like love and people don't realize this is a possibility is when you do enough cleansing in the colon with chlorella or chlorophyll and antifungals and changing your diet, you literally lose all your body odors. So you no longer will have to wear deodorant, you just won't smell because you're only smelling from toxins and bacteria. And once that's gone, I'm not kidding. My clients have so many testimonials, myself included, you just lose all body odor and it's great because then you don't have to be so conscious of that as well. So it's kind of like a two in one. Oh, it's like just no one benefit right there. That's so cool. How would you notice people like all the odors gone once all the toxins have been eliminated? Then you're like, Oh, yeah. It depends on the person. For like, for example, like I'll use myself. I had years and years and years of ridiculous fast food consumption and toxins. So it took me, I would say a year. I did chlorella and chlorophyll on and off throughout the year changed my diet completely did like a I can't do to cleanse. So just got rid of all the toxins. And for me, it took a year and I didn't expect to get that, you know, I didn't think body odor had anything to do with that at the time. So I realized I don't have to wear deodorant anymore. And that even in the morning, I would wake up and didn't have the bad breath and all that kind of stuff. I was like, there must be a connection. And I started researching and learned that your internal health, it completely displays outside. So if you have body odor, skin issue, anything like that, it's due to inside. So I started getting my clients on that as well. I'm like, start doing chlorella, start cleansing, doing lots of like greens powders and things like that. And some clients notice a few weeks with like an improvement because they might have been less toxic. And some noticed, you know, within six months to a year. So it depends on the person, but it works really well. Do you have any recommendations on brands for like chlorophyll, chlorella, and some of the other supplements? Yeah, I mean, I don't know if this if you'll be able to get these brands where you are, I know that they're available, at least in North America. For chlorella, I really like either Chlorogen from Genestra brands, which is a capsule. And it's good if you don't like the taste of chlorella. If you want a powder, I like Organica's chlorella powder. These two brands just have tested, they're organic, and they've tested for heavy metals. When you're getting chlorella, it's an algae, so it's from the ocean. Depending on where you're getting it from, there might be a lot of heavy metals like mercury. So be careful with your swords. Organica and Genestras, both of them are really pure sources. For chlorophyll, which you can do one or the other or both. I like Genestra's liquid chlorophyll. Or you can also do purely natural chlorophyll as well. So both are great. And you'll notice even on their bottles, it says internal deodorizer. So when you're taking it long enough, it's literally deodorizing your insides. It's great. So cool. It's like mind blowing. That's awesome. For hormones, because this is an interesting one, because I know this is such a big topic, I was going to ask you, how can we rebalance our hormones? What are some things we can eat or supplements we can take or like teas to drink and things like that that could help with, I guess, rebalancing hormones? Because I know when they're out of balance, it's just like really, you can get all these different problems. Absolutely. I'm going to say again, so just to start with anyone who has hormonal imbalance, if you're already living very healthy and clean, you skip the step. But for those who aren't, the most imbalances that we will get for our hormones is from what we call xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic estrogen in our body and they stay in the system. So they kind of it's kind of like we have really, really high estrogen levels, when in fact we don't, we just have a lot of toxins and our body reacts like we have a lot of estrogen. So you might start getting like extreme acne or PCOS or some people will get like swollen lymph nodes in the breasts or things like that. So the places that we get xenoestrogens from our plastic, mainly plastic bottles, a lot of soy, unfortunately, soy kind of mimics. It creates high levels of like that xenoestrogen or fake estrogen in the body. And then also just our diet having a lot of sugars, consuming a lot of starchy foods, things like that will create major hormonal imbalance. So I would say change your drinking water, try to limit your soy. And if you are having soy, try to make sure it's organic and preferably tempeh. So it's less processed, but really just limit soy. And then having just a cleaner diet is always a place to start. If you're already doing all that, the next step would be to look at if you're on birth control or not, because that does create a lot of hormonal imbalances, even though on the outside it regulates your cycle and it might clear up your skin. So you think that your hormones are imbalanced, internally, it's causing a lot of disruption, which your body is trying to deal with. So those are two areas. And then kind of going into more of supplements and things that you want to do to detox, it comes down to the liver. Your liver is the organ that will detox hormones, it produces extra hormones, it has a lot of functions. And what kind of happens just really briefly, all the organs, the endocrine organs in your body will release hormones, whether it's melatonin or progesterone or testosterone or cortisol, etc. Just release those hormones. Everything goes to the liver and then it's your liver's job to kind of put the hormones where they need to be and get rid of the extra. If your liver is overburdened, going back to that first point, first question where we talked about being bombarded with toxins every day. If your liver is overloaded because of all those toxins, it's not going to detox excess hormones, which means they build up in your body and over time you'll have too much estrogen or too much progesterone or too much cortisol, etc. So for anyone that comes to me with a hormonal imbalance, we change the diet, make sure you're living a toxin-free lifestyle, and then right away support the liver. And that's where I would start. So kind of going back to the dandelion teas, the chlorella powder, lemon water, things like that. Okay, awesome. Thanks, Nat. I appreciate that. For my last question, I was going to ask, what are some great gut foods we can take to help reestablish a healthy gut, like microbiome, after taking antibiotics? Because I know that can really impact your gut. For sure. So probiotics are a given. You want to do a high dose though. If you have had antibiotics, especially if it was more than like a five-day course or treatment, 20 billion, 10 billion, that's not enough. You need to do minimum 50 billion CFUs daily for, I would say, at least three to four months. But the higher you go, the better. Because what antibiotics do is they wipe out everything. And we should be having trillions and trillions and trillions of bacteria in our colon. It's crazy, but a lot of our body weight should be coming from probiotics. We should have a lot. So if the antibiotics have wiped everything out and you're only doing a few billion a day, and half of that or more dies off every day, you're really not going to replenish what you lost. So definitely doing at least 50 billion a day probiotic is important. I personally would suggest a vitamin C as well to support the liver. Antibiotics are very hard on the liver. And vitamin C or even glutathione can be really helpful to kind of restore the function of the liver after antibiotics. I personally too always suggest doing some kind of like mineral complex that has zinc. Antibiotics can increase your copper levels, and then you end up with a depletion of zinc, which can affect your skin and your immune health. Yeah, I think those are the three main ones that I would do. Maybe throwing in again the chlorella powder to detoxify some of the leftover antibiotics as well. This is probably a good idea. Okay, awesome. Thank you. I have so many notes I can start at flying to my own life now. I'm so excited. Good. Thank you so much for joining me today, Mila. I really appreciate it. It's been the best talk, honestly. Good. I'm glad. I hope some people were able to take some info away and maybe learn something. It's amazing what our bodies can do if you're fueling it correctly and taking care of it. It's meant to keep us alive, and we only have one. So I'm just always trying to get everyone around me to cherish and take care of their body and also appreciate what it does for us because it's pretty incredible. And as soon as you start switching up your lifestyle and changing things, you notice the improvement right away in any of the symptoms that you have. So it's pretty incredible. That's amazing, and you're so knowledgeable too. Like a book of knowledge. I was like, wow. Thank you. I've done a lot of studying. I'm still studying, so I do enjoy it. I'm always wanting to learn more and more, and there's so much out there to learn and so much I don't know yet. So yeah, I love taking in knowledge. Oh, thank you so much for sharing it with us today. It was so interesting. I don't know if you want to stick around. I was going to scroll through some of the comments. You are welcome to sign up or not, but I'm going to probably just go through and see if I can answer just a couple before I sign off. So you're welcome to stay or not. Just scrolling right to the top. I will try to save this, everyone. If Instagram lets me, I'll upload it to IGTV, and that way you guys can rewatch it, but let's see here. There are quite a few, which I'm not even able to reach. Quite a few at the top, but let's just see from the bottom. So does glutathione feed candida? It does not. It's an antioxidant for the liver, so it actually helps to reduce inflammation and stimulate your detox pathways to start letting go of toxins that have been building up. Carnivore diet, is it just bad? Just really, really quickly. I do have a YouTube video on this. The carnivore diets, in my opinion, no one should follow. If you look at like Eskimos and people who lived off of just fish or just protein, their lifespan is like 30 years. And I personally think the carnivore diet is deficient in all of the micronutrients that you need, and fiber, and it's incredibly hard on the colon. And there's a direct correlation in a lot of studies to having meat, like a diet high in animal protein, and cancer. It's incredibly acidic and it really does deplete a lot of nutrients. I know a lot of people are fans of this way of eating, and they get initially good results. And the reason is because you're cutting out a lot of sugar and bad oils and other ingredients, so you might initially see results because you're getting rid of toxins in the beginning. But if you're on it long term, it really, I think, can cause a lot of health issues. As far as spirulina goes, yes, spirulina can work the same as chlorella. Just again, check the quality. It is an algae, so just be careful of the source, so there's no extra heavy metals. If you have too much testosterone, the same thing applies. You need to support your liver. Your liver is going to be the main organ that is detoxifying any hormone. So regardless of which hormone you have too much of, you have to take care of the liver to balance that. I'm not going to go through all the comments because there's quite a few, but I will just scroll maybe a little bit higher up and just see if there's anything else. I don't have a sample of the bottle. I do, actually, but if I have to get up, then I'll probably have to end the video because I'm charging right now on my phone. But I do have on YouTube a lot of videos talking about chlorella and spirulina and things like that, so you guys can see the bottles there. Chlorella in liquid or pills, it doesn't matter. I've actually never seen a chlorella liquid, but I've seen a powder. It doesn't taste good, so if you're trying to drink it on an empty stomach and you're sensitive to that taste, go for the pill or tablet. Just looking here. Can you use chlorella while breastfeeding? Absolutely. So it's just like a eating, it's like if you were to go have sushi and it's wrapped in seaweed, it's the same idea. You absolutely can take it. And it's great because it has a lot of iron and minerals that actually will nourish you and baby as well. Okay, I think I'll leave it at that. If you guys have any other questions, you can comment on the IGTV when it's posted, or you can send us a message, or you can comment on one of our posts, and yeah, get help that way. But yeah, I think we'll leave it here. So thanks so much for doing this, Vanessa. I didn't realize it was that early where you were, so I hope I didn't make you wake up too early for this. Nothing was nearly at all, so excellent. I really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for doing it with me today. So thank you. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, I hope all of you have a good night or a good morning wherever you are. Thank you to everyone who has joined and we'll talk to you soon. Bye. Bye.
