Today I sat down with Dr. Stephanie Estima. Dr. Estima is a chiropractor, coach and a builder and curator of superhumans. Our conversation centered around behavioural changes that we can make to alter our neurochemistry, the things that can literally change our brain to turn us into superhumans.

In this interview you will learn some really cool hacks to live a superhuman life, and be in a superhuman relationship. Enjoy!

I fundamentally believe that when people are well they can change the world, and I work everyday to help reduce the risk of chronic disease in my patients. So when I heard today’s guest, Dr. Stephanie Seneff, speak, I knew that I had to have her on the podcast. Dr. Seneff presented me with an inconvenient truth; that the food I was eating and feeding to my family was not only killing us, but the people who were coming to see me for help. Our interview today is slightly more technical than you might be used to, but if you eat food, this interview is crucial to your survival.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:54] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[6:19] Some crops have been genetically modified to be resistant to RoundUp.

[6:58] How is so much glyphosate getting into our food?

[8:12] Even organic foods will contain some glyphosate.

[9:11] Why would organic lentils contain high levels of glyphosate?

[10:18] Monsanto’s own studies have shown how glyphosate accumulates in body tissue.

[12:45] Glyphosate is getting into proteins by mistake.

[14:02] In North America we do not respect the Precautionary Principle.

[26:33] What is the relationship between glyphosate and sulphur?

[27:17] We desperately need sun exposure.

[29:50] Glyphosate can not be washed off of produce because it is embedded in the proteins of the plants.

[31:03] It is very difficult to reduce glyphosate exposure without committing to buy organic.

[32:43] Sri Lanka banned glyphosate after it became obvious that it had killed many young agricultural workers. It will be a miracle if the U.S.A. ever bans it.

Today I sat down with Adele Tevlin of Adele Wellness. Adele is a weight loss coach, cognitive behavioral therapist, and holistic nutritionist. She offers a really unique program and approach to helping people lose weight. Although we did talk about how to lose weight effectively (because it is something that we are both asked about frequently in our practices), our conversation really revolved around body image, how we optimize our energy, and thought patterns that contribute to a weight problem in the first place. We both look at weight issues not as being caused by overconsumption of calories, but by a desperate desire for dopamine. This means that weight management, body management, and getting to your ideal place all begins in your brain.

 

Key Takeaways:

[:51] Please join our Facebook community, Legacy, a group of bad-ass women collectively committed to leaving the world better than we found it.

[2:37] Adele helps people recognize the thoughts that get in the way of what they really want.

[4:20] Why do people overeat?

[4:56] Food addiction is very similar to other addictions.

[6:40] Some people may be more prone to food addiction because they crave more dopamine than other people.

[7:40] Commitment and readiness are crucial when attempting to change eating behaviors.

[9:06] Sometimes it takes experiencing significant pain related to your situation to truly be ready to commit to change.

[11:00] Adele teaches her clients to reframe trigger situations.

[12:42] A person’s family of origin can be a common challenge in their weight loss goals.

[14:08] Adele helps her clients structure plans for coping with triggers at family gatherings.

[15:08] Make conscious decisions, and don’t feel guilty about them.

[15:29] Your mind is very good at executing patterns, but it also has great capacity for change.

[19:03] Let people know about your healthy lifestyle change.

[19:36] Adele is a fan of the Paleo Diet and intermittent fasting.

[21:52] Women need a lot more carbohydrates than they think.

[25:32] An entrepreneur’s ability to find loopholes can sometimes be a disservice when it comes to diet.

[26:03] How can you break a yo-yo dieting cycle?

[27:17] It can be more difficult to lose weight as a vegan.

[29:34] How can people find their optimal body image?

[31:25] A person’s true “why” is never the first thing they tell you.

[33:52] Sometimes a person’s initial, shallow reason for motivation will lead them to their deeper “why.”

[35:25] As a parent, it is important not to present food as “good” and “bad.”

[39:01] Health is being mindful and balanced.

[42:12] Take this month’s quiz about digestion at meghanwalker.com/entrepologyquiz.

[42:59] Adele goes to the gym every morning.

[43:18] Right now Adele is reading Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think. by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

[43:45] Adele’s hot beverage of choice is an Americano.

[43:57] Adele hangs out with her one-year-old son for fun.

[44:26] Entrepreneurs are both born and made.

Today we had the opportunity to talk about these factors in a really particular context. We talked about optimal neuro-endocrine balance for entrepreneurs. We talked about the reason that the digestive system is the root of everything to do with a person’s health, and we also looked at why it is that you can’t sleep. Until my personal coughing fit interrupted the discussion, we were also dipping into the epidemic of Lyme disease. This episode is jampacked, it is speaking specifically to entrepreneurs and go-getters, and you’re going to get a lot out of it.
