Watching now – thank you all so much. I really appreciate Traci’s expertise. Amazing that this podcast was planned!

Here in Los Angeles it feels like the apocalypse. Praying that Sophie and Yerasimos’s house will be okay. I have so many friends in the Palisades and Topanga that evacuated…many have lost homes.

We are safe at the moment, but only about 20 minutes south of the Palisades fire – watching it is devastating.

The narrative to blame Mother Nature is sickening. Mother Nature is exploited and manipulated, and then becomes the scapegoat. Very convenient.

Thanks Andrea. I purchased Sarah’s Leptin Reset last year and can always go back to it. I’ve already dropped 5 lbs through fasting, though, based on Fast Like a Girl! The book really did help me to feel ‘safe’ to do this. I didn’t realize until just now how afraid I have been to mess with my thyroid/hormones because of what that dr told me. I was even afraid to be hungry. My conscious mind knew better, but I see now it was lodged in the subconscious. Beyond the weight loss, I’m really happy to be able to use different fasting methodologies to achieve better health all around through the benefits of autophagy and apoptosis.

Thank you!

@tulipterriers Got the book yesterday – it’s so good, so clear and has absolutely eased my fears of fasting for women. Loving it, thanks again.

Thanks for sharing, that sounds like a good way for me to switch too. Mornings are usually busy with trying to get my son up and ready 🙏 Even this morning I’ve been up for an hour and a half and have just had my butter coffee. I think breathwork and exercise first before eating is also a good idea for me.

I’m glad it has improved your sleep though. The biggest thing that has helped my sleep and is the circadian rhythm stuff, I get the sunrise and sunset light in my eyes and now am asleep by 8:30-9.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Janelle! I appreciate what you’ve shared and it’s new info to me so will look into it all. It wasn’t great that my (former) dr blamed me for causing Hashimoto’s, I had just lost 20 lbs on keto at the time and left the office completely frightened so started eating carbs again. No surprise the weight slowly crept back on. When I did my own research I found conflicting info and along with all the other nutrition advice I’ve just been in confusion since then. Thankfully this month I finally feel some clarity and feel a lot more connected to my intuition!

Yes, it’s interesting. She says daily at 53 min and 56 min. Like you, I do yoga, walking, martial arts and strength training so would only do it 2 days/week or so.

[Leigh-Anne]

Thanks Mike. Even a one day water fast would be good right now! 2 days – I’d have to work up to that. I think I’m going to start by getting back to intermittent fasting and go from there. @PennyJuniper it’s super interesting what Barbara says about shifting the IF window to earlier, having breakfast as the largest meal and tapering down as the day goes on. When I was doing intermittent fasting back in the day I did the opposite (as she spoke to) with waiting to eat til 11am and finishing at 7. I’ll play with 8am-4pm.

[Leigh-Anne]

Thank you Andrea. I think I’ve heard of Fast Like a Girl – will look for it.

(I wish collectively we’d replace the word ‘girl’ with ‘woman’ more often 😃)

[Leigh-Anne]

Penny, thank you SO much!! I love how you keep it simple here to the foundations.

I just finished watching Barbara’s video and will watch it a second time later. I have never gone into her work before so I appreciate that!

Fiber + Protein + Fat 🙏

Her suggestion to do HIIT everyday is new to me. I had learned that 3x a week is the most one should do it. Will look more into the books she mentions.

[Leigh-Anne]

Oh my gosh, glad you’re feeling better now. Yes, their home is so special to so many of us here – they have opened it many times for community gatherings!

They also stared a local freedom group on Telegram a while back which has been key for us all to keep in touch and support each other during this crisis.

Hi Erin, thanks for checking 🙏 My family and I are safe, the fire doesn’t look like it’s coming south into Santa Monica but has spread west and north for those following the Palisades fire…please pray for beloved Topanga as the fire is at many friends’ doorsteps. Thankfully Sophie and Yerasimos’ house is still standing.

I think he’s stopped posting on YT due to the censorship.

[Leigh-Anne]

Thanks Erin 🙏

Hi Amanda, I just want to echo what Dawn says here. Gabor Mate’s book When the Body Says No has excellent and important chapters on cancer and what the emotional links are.

Of course I agree diet matters, we just need to focus on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

On the spiritual level, energetic clearing would also make a lot of sense here too.
