 Chelsea eats, my name is Chelsea Knudsen and I am a certified holistic health coach and I coach women on how to heal naturally from female related issues. I hope you guys can hear me. Okay, today. If you can hear me, let me know if you can't let me know that too. Okay, so before I get started, first off, we're going to talk about can you eat potatoes if you are trying to shrink fibroids naturally and that is a big loaded question. And I have a couple of thoughts on it, so I'm going to share that with you in just a second. But I want to share with you some of the things that are going to be coming up here soon and I'm doing a free webinar on Monday. This is a new webinar that I haven't shared before. It's called Why Detox for PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis, heavy menstrual cycles, things of that nature, hi to everyone who's just joined me. So that webinar is going to be on Monday, the 5th, 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If you haven't already signed up for it, click the link below in the description box to sign up. There are other things to sign up for down below. So I would just suggest just reading through some of the things that are available. Also, I'm excited that my new Juicing eBook is coming out. It's available for pre-order. You can you can buy it now if you want to. Hey, Kiffra, how are you? It is available now for $5, $497 to be exact. But once it launches on February 15th, the price will go up a little bit. Also, I am here on Wednesdays. Every Wednesday, noon Eastern Standard Time and on my Facebook page, what Chelsea eats at 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time. But I want to talk about potatoes. Can you eat potatoes if you're trying to shrink fibroids naturally? And ultimately, no, you cannot shrink fibroids by eating potatoes. Like that's that can't be a regular part of your diet. And there's not that there's so much wrong with potatoes. It's just that potatoes are starchy and they're heavy and they sort of clog up your digestive system, if you will, especially the things that people put on potatoes, whether that be ketchup or butter or, you know, sour cream or whatever you put on your potato. But even if you just eat a regular potato and you just put some salt and pepper on the potato and you eat it, it's still too heavy for the body. When you are loaded with fibroid tumors, especially large fibroids, because usually I don't hear from people until they've got heavy periods. The periods are, you know, gushing out and they don't know how to stop the blood and I don't hear from people. I'm going to talk about sweet potatoes in just a second, too. Thank you for that question. And I don't hear from people until like the doctor is saying you need a hysterectomy or surgery. So at that point, if you got large fibroids, potatoes need to be off the table. Now all potatoes, you know, everybody says sweet potatoes are healthier. Yes, they are in a sense healthier than a regular white potato. Yes, but they're still starchy and they're still too heavy for somebody who is trying to shrink a fibroid. That is a big ball of mucus that is hard tissue and blood mixed together. Like it is hard. You have to, your body has to break it down and if you are busy filling your body with, you know, heavy foods, your body is going to pay attention to the heavy foods, breaking down the heavy foods and extracting the nutrients that it can from the heavy foods and it's not going to pay attention to breaking down the fibroids because it needs to break down the food. So you want to focus on eating lots of fibrous foods that are light like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in the rawest form possible. That's what you want to focus your diet around. I mean, you can eat some legumes and beans and things like that, but you want to your diet needs to be rich in fruits and vegetables and potatoes, starchy potatoes and rice and just starchy foods. I'm sorry, but if you're trying to break down fibroids, you got to get those things out of your diet. Now, here's my other thought. Say you've been eating salads and vegetable dishes and you've been doing great and you are going to lose your mind and go to the McDonald's drive-thru if you don't get a potato. I say go to the store buy the potato, put it in your oven, you know, make the potato, eat the potato if it's going to save you from going through the drive-thru. So that's my thought on it. It's like just don't practice eating potatoes, but if it's going to save you from messing up your diet completely and throwing you off the rails and eat the dag on potato. Now some people can heal on potatoes. Some potatoes are not like like an enemy. Like I'm not sitting here saying that potatoes are horrible because they're not, but you want to put your body in a position where it can heal. And if it's too busy breaking down heavy foods, then how is it going to focus on healing? So that's my thought about potatoes. You know, you use your own judgment and I'm telling you this information based on my own experience. Not only has potatoes been too heavy for my own body to break down, especially when I ate too many of them, but it slowed down my healing process. I can tell that my body wasn't detoxing. I can tell that my body was getting a little, probably a little backed up because the potatoes were too heavy even though they tasted good. They didn't make me feel bad or anything like that. But certainly I could tell a difference between how I felt when I ate mainly, you know, fruits and vegetables that weren't, you know, starchy like potatoes versus eating potatoes on a regular basis. So I hope that that helps explain the thing. And you know, I know people don't like to hear that but out of all the time that you have eaten your whole life, you've probably eaten any and everything you want. Some people have had a healthier diet than others. What is a little while for you to get off potatoes and all the animal products and the foods that feed fibrous? What is that time? It's nothing. It's just a drop in the bucket in comparison to how the rest of your life can be. Now, do I think you could ever go back to eating the way the way you used to? Hi, y'all. I just, you might want to go back and watch the video. Again, I did speak about the sweet potatoes. No, no potato. Just don't eat potatoes on a regular basis. I also gave you one caveat. If it's going to save you going through the drive-through, then eat the potato, but you know, don't practice eating potatoes on a regular basis. Do you guys have any other questions that I can answer? Because I could just keep going on and on about the potato and I don't want to just kind of go off on a rabbit trail about that. But if you have any other questions, those of you who are just joining, don't forget to sign up for my YD Talks webinar that's going to be happening on Monday, February 5th at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. There's a link in the description box if you haven't already signed up for that. And also, if you have not gotten your foods to avoid to shrink fibroids naturally e-book, there's a link down below for that and as well as my Juicing e-book that I am launching here soon. You can buy it now. It's only $497 and it'll be out on the 15th. And if you haven't signed up for your free coaching call, please sign up. I would love to talk to you, but that's it. Any other questions? What is blood clot means on menstrual cycle? I need help with iron deficient anemia. Okay. All right. So when you have blood clots coming out on your menstrual cycle, it depends on what's going on in your diet. If you, okay, tell me, I think I know what you're talking about, Kiffra. Are you saying that you have blood clots coming out while you're on your menstrual cycle? Is that what you mean? What does that mean? If that's what you're saying, first of all, if you're cleaning up your diet and you're trying to do the best you can, okay, you're trying to do the best that you can to get all the crappy foods out of your diet, trying to change your lifestyle and you have clots coming out. That means that could mean that you have those fibroids are passing. That's what that could mean, especially if you have a big chunky one and you're doing everything you know to do to get well, that can be fibroids passing. Um, the next question, I forgot what it was. Please retype your question. Um, Tolita, I think that was you and I cannot remember the next question. I apologize. They come up so fast. Oh, iron and meat anemia. Um, first of all, you have to clean up your diet. If you don't clean up your diet, there is nothing you can do about anemia. I mean, you could, you could pump liquid chlorophyll. You can pump iron pills all you want, but if you don't clean up your diet and get off of the foods that cause fibroids and cause menstrual issues, you are going to be chronically anemic. Like there's nothing you can do about that. Um, so, you know, that's my answer. Like get clean up your diet and then start taking, you know, a liquid chlorophyll. Um, one of the things that has helped some of you are on that are on here on the fibroid deep in went through the fibroid detox course. That's another thing. It'll teach you everything that you take the basics as to far as what you need to know so that you can shrink fibroids naturally and then you can get the support in the group that you need so you can get through this pro process. And then to lethia you, Tolita, I'm sorry, you asked about the grilled vegetables. I believe, but eat mostly raw and not the question went by so fast. I think you were saying yes, Kifra. Probably for you, I would say yes. Based on what you've been telling me. Um, Tolita, you're talking about grilled. Can you repeat your questions, Tolita? I'm sorry. I don't know if I got it fully mostly to the most aggressive approach to shrinking fibroids is eating as raw as possible, eating a high raw diet. And then if you put some cooked vegetables in there here and there throughout the day, that's good. I hope that answers your question. If you have a more specific question, you can always put it in. If you don't want to put it up here, you can also put it in the fibroid detox to clean up your diet and improve my iron levels. I'm a culinary student. Well, you can get high Vanessa. Thanks for the question. Um, you can go through some of my older videos and you can see like what I say to shrink fibroids and you can get the foods to avoid to shrink fibroids naturally able that I have listed in the comment in the description box. You can download there. You can start there with the foods to avoid that list is going to tell you everything that will cause fibroids to grow cause menstrual issues cause heavy bleeding. It will if you eliminate those foods that are on that list, that is a start. So I hope that helps. Um, it depends on what your diet is now. Some people eat extremely healthy and they need to even go healthier. Some people eat extremely unhealthy and they need to take steps to clean up their diet, meaning they have to start, um, letting go. Fibroids and endometriosis are the same. No, fibroids and endometriosis are different, but they are in the same category because they have the same root. They are, um, they are caused by estrogen dominance and toxicity in the body. That's what they're caused by and the way to healing for them is the same and that would be to getting rid of the excess, um, the excess, uh, toxins out of the body and the excess estrogen out of the body by going on an anti estrogen diet. Well, it's when anytime you have, um, heavy bleeding and clotting and all that stuff, it means that you are estrogen dominant and your body is toxic. So if you're bleeding, bleeding, bleeding, your body's toxic, your reproductive system is toxic. It doesn't necessarily mean you have to have fibroids, but it means your body's toxic and your body is trying to expel with all that excess bleeding. That's what that means. And most doctors are not going to say that because they don't look at treating people from that perspective. They, they look at treating people through surgery, procedures, medications and things of that nature. They don't look at teaching people how to take care of their body and healing their body with food. And I saw there was a question about intermittent fasting, um, intermittent fasting. Yes, that, that helps with, you know, shrinking fibroids, any kind of fasting, really fasting is fabulous, but I still say, even if you're intermittent fasting, you still need to get off of the estrogenic foods, but if you choose not to get off of the estrogenic foods and you do intermittent fasting, it's certainly going to work better than somebody who is trying to shrink fibroids or heal their menstrual issue with, you know, a diet that they say is quote unquote healthy, but still eating a lot of estrogen foods. I hope that makes sense. I think I missed a question. If I did, please retype it because these questions go past really fast and it's, they're hard to see. Any other questions and any of you who are listening to things I'm saying and you're like, what in the world is she talking about? Really go back through my videos from the last couple of months. There is a lot of information on my channel about menstrual issues. I talk about everything. I mean, and if you still need more, you know, help, you know, sign up for fibroids and endometriosis are not the same. I believe I answered that question. They are not the same. They are two different things. Fibroids are usually benign cysts on the. What do I know about the Daniel fast? I know lots about the Daniel fast. It's eating fruits and vegetables. It's based on the book of the fast that Daniel did in the book of Daniel in the Bible. And that's pretty much how I eat for the most part, except it doesn't specifically say in the Bible if Daniel's food was cooked or not. But I try to eat a Genesis 129 diet, which is the fruits and vegetables without being cooked. That's what I try to eat most of the time. So I hope that answers your question. And if you go back through my videos and watch, you will learn more about what I think about some of those things about the foods that you should eat and shouldn't eat. So no cooked food, no cooked vegetables or potatoes. No, I'm not saying don't eat cooked vegetables. I'm saying don't eat potatoes if you're looking to shrink fibroids naturally or heal any type of menstrual issue naturally. That's what I'm saying. It will slow your progress. And I'm saying eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables. Yes, you can eat some cooked vegetables. You know, just don't make that be most of your diet. You want the nutrients from the food. And when it's cooked, the nutrients, some of the nutrients kind of die off whenever you cook the food. And usually people who have menstrual issues because they're bleeding so much, they are nutrient deficient. So I hope that answers your question. And there was another question that went past the screen. I didn't see it. So sorry. Okay. Gotcha. Thank you. Look beautiful. Thank you. I'm glad to hear about Vanessa. Also, you can go to the link below in the description box and follow and join the Facebook page. If you do Facebook is called foods to avoid to shrink fibroids naturally. I talk about all the foods to avoid. Can you eat plantains? Plantains are good to eat. You can. Don't cook them. Don't fry them up in oil and all that stuff. But if you are going to eat them cooked, you can bake them, you know, put your seasoning on them, whatever you do, but don't fry them in oil. That, you know, kind of defeats the purpose of the health benefits of the plantains for somebody who's trying to heal. Endometriosis detected in normal scanning without labra. Okay. So what are you are you saying that? Okay. So what's your question surrounding that endometriosis? You know, it's painful. That's for sure. But you can get rid of it. Sorry to ask. Have you had fibroids? Just absolutely. I had a, yes, go back through my channel and listen to some of the videos. Absolutely. I'm not talking from somebody who doesn't have any experience. Believe me. That's a good question. Cause I, I believe there probably are people out there who are talking about this subject that never never even experienced. Fibroids is eating quinoa bad for fibroids. You know, quinoa is the safest to eat. As far as all the grains are concerned, quinoa technically is not a grain. It is a seed. You're welcome, Felicia. It's a seed and I mean, I wouldn't eat quinoa every day, but like if you find that you're eating fruits and vegetables and you're like, oh, I got to have something eat quinoa. It's very safe. Like don't have it every day though. I would say because the lighter the food is, the more your body will work on getting rid of the toxicity in your body. I hope that makes sense. And the more you listen to my videos, my old, especially my video, you know, videos within the last question. Is there a cure for indigestion? Yes, absolutely. The things I'm telling you right now, the same thing I tell you to do for fibroids is the same thing. Yeah, they do teach the opposite and I and I've been there. I mean, if it was left up to the doctors, they would have butchered me. They want to take everything out. Anyway, that's another story. Um, but I was answering a question about it, you know, can you heal endometriosis naturally? Absolutely. It's the same process that you go through to heal fibroids naturally, the field to heal PCOS naturally to heal ovarian cysts naturally. It is getting rid of all that excess estrogen in your body that is causing those issues and that is due to toxicity, acid waste that is sitting in your tissues and your uterus is the thing that is collecting all of it and causing all the pain and suffering in your body. And you know, hair starts falling out. You get nutrient deficient, your hormones are all out of control because of the estrogen dominant nature. Coconut milk, it depends on the coconut milk. If you're drinking coconut milk from the can that fixed stuff, the fat fixed stuff, then I would say no, it's too heavy, but if you know the unsweetened, like so delicious brand in the grocery store is okay to drink. But you know, it's really very easy to make, you know, your own milk at home where you know with all what all the ingredients are. I have recipes on my channel. I have a hemp seed milk recipe on my channel and I have an almond milk recipe on my channel. So if you just put in the search bar almond milk recipe on my channel page, you'll you'll pull it up or you can put what Chelsea eats almond milk or what Chelsea eats hemp seed milk in the Google search bar and it'll come up. So I hope that helps. I mean, if you could get rid of and if you could stay away from that milk that they have in the store, I mean, great. But if you can't, then you can eat, you know, drink it. It's not going to kill you with 40 ml semen count getting pregnant. So is this your husband or something? Are you talking about you? Like I'm not really sure. I like I can answer that question, but it depends on where it's coming from. You're talking about the semen count and getting pregnant. Can you tell me are you the one who wants to get pregnant or are you talking about your wife getting okay, so your husband. Okay, so the way you need to clean out your reproductive system and cleanse your body based on the recommendations that I have on this channel for doing that is the same thing he needs to do in his sperm count will come up because it sounds like his reproductive system is a little bit clogged up too.
