Module 8 - Lesson 3 - How To Implement Module 8 Of The Adrenal ReCode Webinar Christa: We're live. Welcome, ReCoders.

Jeanne: Hello, everybody.

Christa: We have made it to the final webinar in The Adrenal ReCode program, How To Implement Module 8.

Jeanne: Yes.

Christa: We're so excited. We want to know who's tuning in. Come on, tell us where you're tuning in from, what is new and good, and for those of you who [00:00:30] reviewed Module 8... Hopefully, you did... I want to know what do your physical and emotional wheels look like the third time around now that you have filled them out the third time around. Let us know what is going on in the chat. Hi, Laurie, Gustavo, and Lisa. We made it. Nancy, Mary, yay! This is so exciting. Jennifer, hi.

[00:01:00] All right, Denise is in the car on her [crosstalk 00:01:02]. Right. Isn't it great that we are just tuning in from every place?

Jeanne: It's amazing.

Christa: All around, it's awesome.

Jeanne: Blows my mind.

Christa: I'm really glad you're here. Tonight, we are going to go through Module 8, and we're going to rewrite your story, and then we're going to move into how do you do this thing? How do you live The ReCode after physically, mentally and emotionally, so we'll discuss the tools. All of the physical [00:01:30] and the emotional reinforcement tools that you've been given and how to use them in your own customized way. We're going to talk about clinical tips for using temperature and pulse for how to keep going, when do you know you can stop logging, all the questions that have been coming in.

Then, we'll move into supplement guidance, okay? I did screenshot a couple of questions that were really for Jeanne on temp and pulse.

Jeanne: I did hit those yesterday.

Christa: Oh, you did?

Jeanne: We can hit them again-

Christa: Oh, thank you. Okay, so [00:02:00] well then I guess we don't really need-

Jeanne: Some of them. I'm not sure about Nancy [Spurgeon's 00:02:04]. We can look at.

Christa: After we go through our presentation, we'll see. Maybe some of you have had your questions answered, and then we'll look at those, and we'll answer them so that we're talking about the same topic at the same time. Awesome. Let's look. Whoa, Marilyn. So happy to be here living breakthrough after breakthrough. Wahoo is right. That's awesome. Oh my gosh. Okay, Lisa, I am just now [00:02:30] able to do this program right. I'm not ready for it to be over. Well, you have access to it so it's not over. Just re-watch the videos and connect with each other on Facebook.

This happens every time I do a live program. People start to get anxious, right, but the entire Adrenal ReCode program is giving you the power. The mental, and the physical and the emotional part of The ReCode is giving you the power, and you have it. We're here, but you don't need us. You don't need to [00:03:00] keep going. We've given you everything that we have to give in terms of all of the tools and all of the answers that you need. Now, it's up to you to implement them. If you still need help after that, you can work privately with Jeanne, or Kris, or Tamara, and you know you're covered.

Jeanne: I would say that with the clinical pieces, the nutrition, every time you go back and read those documents, those handouts, it's going to click. You're going to pull something new every single time. Once you've been applying [00:03:30] it, it's all just going to make totally different sense to you, or just ground it a little bit more for you.

Christa: She's so right. Especially as clients five years ago, it's so esoteric in the beginning, and then you go through it all, and then print it all out and read it like a book, and it's “Oh, that's what that means.” You'll drop one, two, three levels deeper as you keep going. That's great.

Jeanne: [crosstalk 00:03:53] full. Fully loaded, I love it.


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: Tool belt fully loaded. That's right, Sandy. All right, Gina, I [00:04:00] was happily surprised by the physical and emotional wheels improvement in all areas.

Jeanne: Nice.

Christa: Yay. Vicki from Florida is feeling fabulous. Awesome breakthrough with the forgiveness exercise. I love it. I had the same experience and that's awesome, Vicki. Great. I know, this is like sweet sorrow right, Jenny? Happy to be at this point, but sad to end our communications. This has been wonderful. It has been wonderful, and we're so grateful for each one of you. Cathy, [00:04:30] what's new and good? Temps are consistently in a bell curve. Okay, so your adrenals are healing, Ms. Cathy. I am not ready for it to be over either.

Oh, that's good. We don't want you to want to get rid of us. All right, okay. Rachel from North Carolina, improvements overall except no weight loss and low energy. Great. Okay, so you pay attention because we are going to have a whole section in this presentation dedicated to weight loss, and I'm going to help you with [00:05:00] supplements now that your systems out of chaos. I can help you responsibly use a tiny bit of glandulars if you need, and work with different supplements. We'll discuss that and you can weigh in on pregnant alone, too. Jenny has tools and hope. Hey, that's a lot.

Alright, wonderful. Wonderful, wonderful. Ruby, nice to see you. Totally getting more and more ah-ha's the deeper we get into this. Improvement in all areas, too. Denise, feeling empowered reviewing the modules. [00:05:30] Amazing.

Jeanne: Very nice.

Christa: This is giving me chills. Jennifer, you have provided the curriculum. We have it, we are the students that will learn from the curriculum. Amen, right? Those of you who've known me for a while, how many times have you heard me say we teach a man how to fish instead of give a man a fish. That's 1000% your philosophy.

Jeanne: That's what it's all about. It's all about empowering yourselves.

Christa: It's all about empowering yourself. That's just for all of life, right? You'll just live your life. [00:06:00] It'll be great. All right, without further ado, we are going to get to Module 8 and we're going to turn our webcam off so that everybody pays great attention, and we're going to go through Module 8, How To Implement.


____________________________________________________________________________

The first thing, and I hope that a lot of you have read through [00:06:30] all of your handouts because this will make more sense, but if you haven't, they are all in there and we'll take questions. This is Tamara's last part of The ReCode where she takes you full circle to cement in your new belief system.

In order to do that and live the present self, you understand you have memorized self, and you figured out what your limiting beliefs were. You've did a lot of dissecting work that was really hard throughout Module 4, 5 and 6. Just think of the personal accountability [00:07:00] work, think of the releasing trapped negative emotions, the forgiveness, and then you revolved your beliefs to the present self, to who you really want to be. Now it's time to write your new story, and this is what cements it in. It's the power of imagery training and visualization because what we have to do is upgrade the operating system of the subconscious so it catches up with where you want it to go.

This is an exercise that Tamara has used with hundreds [00:07:30] of private clients, maybe even a thousand. I don't know, but by retraining the mind, and the body, and the emotions to become present, this is how you can also lock in moving away from that state of survival to be in a more creative and empowered way of being. When you get to your handout, you see it's a visualization exercise that includes mental rehearsal. I should have bolded this because in this rehearsal, it's also emotional rehearsal. Manifestation is emotions [00:08:00] 101. You have to feel the feelings of your present self no matter what is going on in your life. You feel the feelings you want to feel, and we can all do that. The mind is so powerful.

Imagine yourself in action with the aligned beliefs and the behaviors and the actions that will help you achieve your goals. That's what you're going to be visualizing. You're going to use your ReCoded Present Self Belief Chart, and you're going to write down the qualities and the values that you've already done that you want to embody in your life, or that you probably [00:08:30] have already started to embody through going through this process, and the impact and the effect that operating life from this place will have on your life. You'll list those qualities and values, and then you're going to ask and answer questions that are going to help you write your new story.

Some of the questions, I didn't list them here because they're listed on your handout, but you're going to ask yourself questions like how do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself? How to you prioritize your [00:09:00] needs? Based upon what type of learn you are, you're either going to write this down right away, you're going to print out your worksheet, and you're going to write this down in your ReCode journal, or write on the worksheet, or those of


____________________________________________________________________________

you that are more auditory and more sensate or feeling, you're going to record each question into your iPhone notes, and you're going to give yourself about 60 seconds in between each question, and then you're going to sit down and you're just going to start visualizing the answers instead of writing them down. You can go back [00:09:30] and write them down later.

You have to figure out what works for you. You're going to say how do you respond and behave in your life now? What actions do you take when you're thinking and feeling these beliefs? How do you walk? You can tell a lot about where someone is in their life by how they walk. How do you breathe? How do you feel when you're thinking and feeling your present self? How do you set and communicate healthy boundaries and say no to things? How are you listening to your intuition and acting on [00:10:00] it? If there's one thing that your logs should have done for you is tuning into you is bridging the gap between the physical and the emotional, helping you really understand from an intuitive place what serves you and what takes away from your wellbeing.

There's more questions. How do you ask for help? How do you practice asking for help? A lot of us that come into this work are really self-reliant. How do we start to let other people in and let them support us? How do you approach and overcome [00:10:30] challenges and setbacks? It's not making mountains out of molehills anymore. It's like okay, previously what would be such a huge thing, now you're physically more resilient, you're emotionally more resilient. They're not going to look like these huge mountains. They're just like little speed bumps. You'll be able to look at things with more detachment.

That's what you're going to do when you're going through this beginning part of this exercise, and you're going to use the questions [00:11:00] to write out an empowering, inspiring vision as your present self, and no matter which way you do it, eventually it's going to get written down, and we want you to record it in your own voice into your phone, or record it in whatever recording device you use, where you are visualizing talking yourself through this new inspiring vision, and as you're talking yourself through it, you're feeling the elevated emotion. Joy, the excitement, the love, the gratitude, [00:11:30] and then you listen to your own voice once a day. It's going to be about three to five minutes as your guided visualization and feel it moving into your heart.

Open your heart thinking about how you'd feel if you embodied the combination of all the traits, qualities, values and behaviors, and if you had all the results that those things bring in your life. This is going to recode your mind. I will take questions about this afterwards, but Tamara [00:12:00] is the one who put this together and has the practical application to theory. I have


____________________________________________________________________________

done this with myself and a couple of clients when I was back in private practice to great success so I can speak to it from that level.

Okay, so after you have done this, you are going to continue locking them in as your new operating system. You have to gather evidence and new references of your new beliefs. What that means, remember we talked [00:12:30] about beliefs are like a tabletop and we have to go and find evidence and references to give them legs. We do that really well with the negative beliefs about what we're not so good at, and how we're not good enough, so now we need to take the power that we have, and use it for the positive and start to gather evidence. It's so easy. Just notice the progress, notice the shifts, notice the growth. When you combine this, once you notice these, you combine it with your gratitude practice, your whole life starts [00:13:00] to change.

I love that Tamara says the brain is like Velcro for negative experiences, but Teflon for positive ones. You have to practice, practice, practice. This is a daily thing that you have to do multiple times a day, and you'll see on the next slide, it's like notice the two percent shift. Notice the ways that people are coming in to help you or support you, or how you feel better about yourself, and how you're relating to others with more ease. [00:13:30] When we're wired to create these habits from this place, you're making all the things that you want to be, that already have inside of you, your new habits. Empowerment, genius, compassion, love, awareness, generosity, healing, joy, vitality.

All of you have all of these things. We just had to peel away the layers to be able to get to them and peel away the layers in a way that was a true emotional detox. [00:14:00] Okay, so you're going to keep your ReCode journal, or whatever journal you work in, and just start to notice, like at night before you go to bed, add this for five minutes to your gratitude journal. What are the compounding effects of stacking the positive, and what's your progress? Add the self-appreciation, and then start to look at wow, this is becoming sustainable change. This is becoming my new automatic way of being, so now we have replaced [00:14:30] the memorized self with the present self.

You will start to connect your inner world with the effects of the outer world, and to see that you are the one that's causing a more empowering effect in your life. It's always an inside job, and what we focus on expands, so look for positive reinforcement in your ReCoded beliefs, and look for in qualities, look for it behaviors and look for it in results. I'm going to want to see what's coming up when I [00:15:00] get in there on Friday. Other ways, you can just set mini-goals. Mini-goals, okay, you're looking at all of your desired actions that you listed, but you've got to make it come to life. You listed this on your


____________________________________________________________________________

present self belief chart, so notice the progress that you make when you're embodying these qualities, continue to take action because you're going to get a choice basically every second of every day to make choices and decisions and actions, and that's going to be even internally, [00:15:30] right?

How are you going to respond? A mantra that we probably should add to The ReCode is respond, don't react. Reflection questions in your journal. If you need some help at night, what did I do well today? We're really good, especially those of us that are perfectionists, at pointing out what we didn't do well, but what did you do well? How did you respond from your present self versus react from the memorized self? I don't want you to beat yourself up when [00:16:00] you react from the memorized self because it always happens. It's part of the human process.

Jeanne: It always happens. It's a reminder. I think it's a gift, to be honest with you. It's a good reminder.

Christa: I agree. It is a gift because it shocks you back into the present of “Oh”. I remember when I first got into nutrition and I was like, “Oh, I got this. I love eating healthy. I never want to not eat healthy, la, la, la, la.” Then, I had this really crazy emotional thing happen, and instantly I craved Gummy Bears and Sour Patch [00:16:30] Kids, and I went, “That's my old self.” That will happen with you physically, and that will happen with you emotionally. Just know that. Okay, well you can ask yourself what can I honor and appreciate about myself and my efforts? How am I stretching out of my comfort zone? That's a big one.

If you're comfortable, there's some growth there. You want to get out of your comfort zone in order to keep growing and evolving, and stretch it. It's nice to rest in the comfort zone from time to time, but [00:17:00] not to live there. Is there anything I would do differently next time? This is where correct and continue comes in if you did operate from your memorized self, whether physically or emotionally. Then, just say what would I refine? Remember, we did this with the boundaries. We rewrote the boundaries that we didn't have for what they would be now. Then, recommit. That's it. Just recommit and move forward from there.

Then, the last part. This is kind of straight from Tony Robbins is a powerful imagery [00:17:30] technique. This has worked on literally tens of thousands of people. You will employ an imagery technique, and that's going to be for reinforcement so that you can continue to show up the way you want and make this ReCoded version of yourself the only version of yourself, or the primary version of yourself. In order to do that, you're going to go through ...


____________________________________________________________________________

This is all in your handout ... and you're going to do another visualization, but this is going to happen whenever you have something big coming up [00:18:00] in your life. What you're going to do is you're going to go through four keys.

When I say take an outside perspective, you're going to become the observer and picture yourself from above, or somewhere outside of your body as you go through the motions, right? If you're preparing for a pitch, see yourself walking into the room. How is your posture composed? What are you wearing? Is the look of determination on your face? Then, watch yourself nail the presentation if it's a business thing. For me, I was talking with [00:18:30] Jeanne before we came in. I have a big custody hearing coming up, and you know, I'm definitely going to be doing this visualization before that. You watch yourself, you watch it happening as your present self. You're asking yourself how do you appear? Are you comfortable, relaxed, poised? Are you sure of yourself?

That's where you want to get to, and notice where you're not because you can correct it in the visualization so it doesn't have to happen in the real world, right? Focus on the mistakes. [00:19:00] This comes straight from Tony, and it's good. It's a masculine perspective. He says, “While this may sound counterintuitive, the goal is to pay extra attention to the areas of poor performance because those reflect inherent insecurities you may have.” So, you can start to see here's another belief coming up I need to work on, or here's more trapped negative emotions I need to work on, and you have all the tools to handle this now. Let's say we're going back to this pitch scenario, if you start to see the faces [00:19:30] of your audience look unimpressed, and that impacts your presentation, that might reflect a lack of confidence.

Just take note, and practice on how you would react if it went that way, then you replay the scene over until you get it right and you can maintain your composure. The end goal is so that you can see yourself in this visualization making an automatic shift when a negative thought or emotion enters your space. This is a life skill that will change your life. If you don't [00:20:00] ride the negative wave because it came up, and let it go south, you recognize it and you shift it right away. If you do this in your visualization, you'll be able to do it out in the real world.

Key three, create a multisensory experience. If it's really happening, you're feeling the feelings. This is manifestation. You feel the confidence exuding from you as you enter the room. You don't just imagine it. You experience what it would be like to totally crush that pitch, or to totally whatever the situation is. You're going to go look at the [00:20:30] sounds, you're going to see okay, is


____________________________________________________________________________

there background sound? How do you sound? What do the faces of the people in the room look like? Are you comfortable, relaxed? Are you sure of yourself? What's the energy in the room? If you can do this, then you'll be able to go into whatever situation you might have some expectations or fear around with more confidence, and you'll be able to mimic a smooth performance for whatever it is you're doing.

Number four, write a highly [00:21:00] detailed written account of your process. You're going to put as much action into this highly detailed script as possible. You're going to describe the feelings you experience. You're going to detail the sounds and take notes of everything you see, and what you would do when a negative component enters your mind. This is to automatically dismiss any thought or emotion that does not serve you. If you can get good at this, you have mastered emotional mastery. Then, read your story over [00:21:30] and over, or again, you can record it and play it in your car. That is the visualization, and that is writing your new story, and Tamara is going to answer any questions that you have about those two components in the Facebook group live this Thursday, and you can tag her Wednesday night if you're not going to be able to be in there on Thursday when she's in there.

[00:22:00] Okay, so now we're going to change gears and we're moving into physical and emotional reinforcement techniques, and Jeanne, jump in here whenever, however you want to. So many of you are wondering what am I going to do now? We want to reinforce the healing that you've achieved in these last few months so that you can continue progressing. We listed all the tools. Here are all the tools. These are all the physical tools you've gotten in the [00:22:30] ReCode, all of the emotional tools that you've gotten in The ReCode, and invariably, some worked a lot better for you than others. Some of you were like, “Wow, that forgiveness process was exactly what I needed.” Others, the releasing trapped negative emotions? Groundbreaking, right? The mirror work. Whatever it was, the food list, something from the several daily doses locked you in so you could sleep better. The supplements, the logs gave you the power to understand what was happening and set realistic expectations.

[00:23:00] I want you to print out this handout and circle what worked for you. Some of you would say, “Hey, once I finally just committed and I scheduled what I needed to do, I was able to actually get it done.” I saw you with yoga, and customizing your macronutrients to your life situations. A lot of you are really getting that now. Oh, wow, okay I have a stressful day so I ate more carbs and I was able to handle it with more grace. These types of things are really perfect. [00:23:30] Then, our goal for you is that you can mix and match these tools over time, and then you can consistently move forward with the goal of living


____________________________________________________________________________

in long term balance. We'll talk about this when we get back to Q&A, you're going to choose from these tools. You're going to create your own unique toolkit from what you've been exposed to because different life situations are going to require different tools at different times.

A lot of it is, and I think you might agree with this, that saying if the only tool you have is a hammer, every [00:24:00] problem looks like a nail. So, now it's like you have a full complete toolkit, and so you can go into any house and do any handyman work, right? Anything that's going on. We'll discuss this more afterwards. I'm going to toss it to Jeanne now to discuss clinical tips for temp and pulse.

Jeanne: Yes. One of the things that I really want to say, and it says it here at the top, is how you're doing this may change but the basic principles, [00:24:30] those clinical strategies that we talked about in the very beginning, those will never change. Those are always gonna remain the same. Your goal is to always meet your body where it is. That's essentially the goal, and now you have those tools to be able to tune into yourself to be able to do that. I love logging because, again, it's an opportunity. We don't want you to have to do it all the time to know what's happening for you, but it's a great tool to go back. If something [00:25:00] gets out of balance for you, or you're feeling like something's not working, it's an opportunity to just tune into that, right?

Christa: Especially when this happens, right? When you're triggered.

Jeanne: Well, yes, exactly. Exactly. You developed this awareness that supports you and what does not, and you can never ... That's something that just doesn't go away. Right now, you have this incredible awareness of everything and how it affects you in your life, and is not something you're ever going to be able to turn off. A lot of things that Christa was just highlighting [00:25:30] for you guys is to be able to look at all those different opportunities that come up for you in a day, and how you're responding to it and what does trigger you, or what does set you off balance a little bit because there's an opportunity right there to discover something new about yourself and how you want to approach it. Continue to observe yourself within your environment. Allow that information to come in and to inform you. That's what it is. It's not to be looked at as a negative thing or negative feedback, but information [00:26:00] to guide you.

It's that mat taking you to where it is you want to go, and to explore those deeper parts of who you are and what you need to live that life you desire because that's what you've been doing are those questions of where does it end, or when I can start doing other things-


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: You decide.

Jeanne: Yeah, you get to decide that because what you've been doing is surrounding yourself with all of the things that allow you to live your best self. Life is going to come at you. It's going to trigger you in all different levels [00:26:30] because that's the healing process, and we're going to continue to heal forever. Once you think that you've completed healing [crosstalk 00:26:39]-

Christa: Enjoy the plateau.

Jeanne: Exactly, something will come up, but again, you have all of these powerful tools to pull from and you've really played with a lot of them, and you know what supports you and what doesn't support you, and what resources you at that physical, mental and emotional level. Lots of really great [00:27:00] things and opportunities here. Okay, so temps and pulses. A lot of you are working towards that bell curve. A lot of you are noticing your body temperature and pulses coming up, but again, the body is designed to be at a specific temperature for enzyme production, for all the different functions that your organs are doing. They need to be at that body temperature, so it's when you get to that place that [00:27:30] deeper level of healing is going to begin to happen, right? That's going to set you up. That consistency of what you've just developed, maintaining that consistency is allowing you to adapt back into that state of homeostasis.

We have to remember that there is a disease process. We go through many, many different phases before we get to that symptom. There are five stages of disease, and symptom is the fourth, so now we're going backwards. We're unwinding, right, [00:28:00] and it's going to take some time for that adaptation to occur, and it happens in stages. Your morning temperatures, a lot of you have asked about morning temperatures and where your pulses are, and are they ever going to be in the norm? Your morning temperatures, because you're coming out of the long period of fasting, are always going to be the very last to increase, as will your pulse and that is okay. Just stay in relationship with where you're at and what's happening for you because again, that's the information [00:28:30] coming in that you're going to be able to respond to, and hopefully not react to, but again, you will.

Christa: Respond, don't react. I'm going to get that mantra working right away.

Jeanne: Yeah, that's a good one. Okay, for some of you, stable morning temperatures and pulses could take several more months. Yeah, and that's true. It takes


____________________________________________________________________________

some time, again, depending on your story, your history, where you are on that spectrum. Some of us have been in this from the beginning, [00:29:00] from the get-go, from the womb and before that. It's really important to revisit your story, be reminded of who you are and where you come from because that is what's going to allow you to be patient with yourself, to be gentle with yourself. As your body gains more strength, and your temps and pulses begin to regulate, you're going to find that you can actually begin to go longer without eating and without those hangry feelings. Your body's going to be able to store energy for much longer [00:29:30] periods of time and that's the whole goal, right?

Christa: That's the whole goal. This is how you know that you've built your generator, that your glycogen stores are being refilled, your liver and muscles, and you just have that strength to rely on.

Jeanne: Yes, yes. It's interesting because we think are we always going to have to be eating this many times a day, and no, you're not going to. The more metabolic you become, however, the more energy you will require. It doesn't necessarily mean that you're going [00:30:00] to need more calories, but you may find that your meals are larger because now digestively, you can tolerate that food. Your body can ...

Christa: Metabolize it?

Jeanne: No, store it. I lost my word. Your body is able to well, metabolize it and store it, and just utilize it more efficiently, right? Again, you might look at instead of having six meals a day, now you're having four or [00:30:30] five meals a day. Be open to how those meals are broken up throughout the day. It's not always going to be breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. You might find that you have a nice big breakfast and it takes you to lunchtime, and then you have a snack and then dinner and a snack. It could look a million different ways, but be open to that flexibility and what your body needs, and what's happening in your life. One thing I see a lot of people do is when there is extra stress or they're sick, they try to [00:31:00] force feed themselves, and I don't ever recommend you force feeding yourself. It's about looking in and really being with your body, and noticing what your body's asking for, and responding appropriately.

It's that seen, heard, held, responded to appropriately, and that's what parenting of self, and that's kind of what this process is, right?


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: It is. It totally is. We're re-parenting ourself, but learning to do it on a consistent basis so that way we [crosstalk 00:31:27] trust that we have everything we need to take care [00:31:30] of ourselves and nurture ourselves.

Jeanne: Right, and realizing that each of our tools are slightly different in different ways because of the way that we just experience life at many different levels. Okay, carbohydrates. Carbohydrates will always be greater to or equal to than your protein, and you will always have a personal protein requirement. Again, it's going to vary throughout your life as things change, but carbohydrates, because they are the body's primary [00:32:00] source of energy that can be used immediately, you always want to make sure that you keep those in the diet. Don't avoid carbohydrates or you will regress. That's what your body's asking for, so again, whether it's a little bit greater or equal to your protein. Again, you want to have those metabolic, digestible carbohydrates in the diet at all times. Then, again, your personal protein requirements will vary depending upon your activity level, your age, [00:32:30] obviously your height and your weight, but you want to make sure that you are-

Christa: Your stress levels.

Jeanne: Your stress levels, absolutely. Pregnancy is also a really big one with your protein needs. Just be okay with that, and pay attention to what you're falling into.

Christa: Well, a beautiful thing where you said they've created an awareness that they can't undo, so you've done the work for logging that's created that awareness, and you're going to get there, if you're not there already, to where you can just check in before a meal and say, "Okay, what do I [00:33:00] feel like? How's that going to digest? How's that going to make me feel in my body?" You won't even need to do the grams and all that. You're just going to know, and that's what the benefit of the logging and doing the work will create for you.

Jeanne: That's the point. That's why we want you doing the logging and really adding those macros in versus doing an app and having it done for you because a lot of you came back and were like, "Oh my gosh. I can't believe I'm eating so much fat. I had no idea."

Christa: Yeah, 70, 80% of calories coming from fat.

Jeanne: Exactly, and you would have never known that, [00:33:30] or "I can't believe that I'm eating 1400 calories one day and 1800 calories another day." It's that


____________________________________________________________________________

awareness. Maybe we do think about it this way, I know when I first heard it, it was like oh, I never really thought about it that way, but stress is accelerated aging. I know it's such a simple concept, right, but for when I first heard it, I never had ever thought about it that way, but I want to bring that up because the effects of aging have the same impact on your digestion [00:34:00] as does your stress. So, when you're choosing foods as you age, or again if you're in that stage of your life, you're going to want to have less of those muscle meats. You're going to want to consume more of those power proteins, and smaller meals may be more appropriate for some people versus others.

Christa: 70's, 80's.

Jeanne: Yeah, again, it's going to vary per individual. I've seen some 70 and 80 year olds power down a lot of food because they're still very active, right?

Christa: Yeah, I know some of them.

Jeanne: Yeah, so [00:34:30] it's always about meeting that demand on your body. It's not about reducing your calories and increasing your demand so that we meet that deficit. We want to really meet that demand, and that's where your body really begins to metabolically function at its optimum. Signs of healing. We talked about this a little bit earlier. It's noticing how long you can go with sensation without [00:35:00] going into those huge hormonal fluctuations. You're going to know that your glycogen reserves, your storage's are more efficient. I just want to go over this one because I'm really bad at looking at a screen-

Christa: Well, you know this information inside and out.

Jeanne: The clinical strategy presented is designed ... We've been interrupting that stress response, and in interrupting that stress response, we've quieted the system. We've taken it out of that chaos, [00:35:30] and now your body's receiving that energy so much more efficiently now. As we talked about earlier, it's the consistency over time that's going to allow that adaptation to begin to really take on what you're doing and you're restoring-

Christa: Consistent blood sugar regulation, consistent energy conversion leads to optimal healing.

Jeanne: Absolutely. You're recovering those systems. You're recovering your ability to store and produce energy. That's the whole purpose of it because that is what supports [00:36:00] the whole of you. Maintaining normal blood sugar levels


____________________________________________________________________________

and preventing that hypoglycemic state is essential to the support of cellular metabolism, thyroid function and keeping your stress hormones under control because when you are not able to do that, remember that is one of the greatest stresses in the body and one of the most regulated systems in the body for that reason, right? If we can give our body what it needs and meet the demands of each day, we're going to be able to maintain those stress hormones and keep the system in balance and in that homeostatic [00:36:30] state.

Christa: I think for a lot of you it comes down to just like you would for a child, "Okay, what do I need?", and if you're going to be out during the day. People coming into The ReCode are going to be highly productive, productivity driven, so that's where the schedule for success comes in, and some people, they can go on a trip and then lose the plot. Ask yourself what do you need, and also be able to speak up if you meet up with someone and you have a different plan, you can [00:37:00] say, "I need to eat first." I think that's just feels important to say because we're so easy to throw ourselves under the bus, "Oh, I won't say anything. I'll just wait til later." That's part of this changing and speaking up and healing is saying what you need when you need it, and giving it to yourself.

Jeanne: I love the practice of food frequency, and we talked about this a little bit yesterday, is that it allows you to more effectively plan and prepare for yourself. You know what you're feeding times are, you know what works best for you, and [crosstalk 00:37:29] [00:37:30] times because we do need that, right? We notice when we don't have our meals, especially now with that awareness. Even with travel, where are you going to be traveling to? What resources are available to you? Asking for a refrigerator in your hotel room, if you're staying in a hotel, looking around again at resources, where health food stores are so you can go and purchase your food, taking your collagen with you. Things like that can be really, really powerful, but what I love most is there's no crazy diet. [00:38:00] It's just food.

Christa: Yeah, it's just food.

Jeanne: You really can do this anywhere you go. It's not that you have to stop your life, or stop taking care of yourself if you're going to travel or anything like that because it's all accessible.

Christa: Yep, right.

Jeanne: You'll make sure that it's accessible, I guarantee you, because as we talked about when you do have a hiccup and you fall off a little bit, it reminds you


____________________________________________________________________________

how well you felt, so you're going to be that much more motivated to follow that.

Christa: That's why we're discussing this now, [00:38:30] and why I think The ReCode was really difficult in the beginning because it was so much theory to try to understand. Those of you have done my programs before, this is harder than Gut Thrive because you had an exact protocol to follow and exact 80/20, and this is completely different where instead of looking to lean back into that chair, so to speak, you're just going to maintain straight posture. That's what your logs do, and that's why we refer back to you. How can I tell [00:39:00] you, “Oh, can you add in coffee every day now and chocolate, and how many glasses of wine can you have?” Your body is going to tell you, your logs are going to tell you what you can add in. Foods should be chosen on the state of the body, the digestive properties within the food, and when you're going to add in whatever that 20% is that you haven't been eating, grains, legumes, any of that, just try to go one at a time and just see how your body responds. Just don't throw an arsenal at it quickly.

Jeanne: Right, and to keep the 80/20 [00:39:30] balance, exactly. We're just trying to find that moderation and to realize that, again, where are you, what is the state of your body? If you're in a very depleted state, there's a lot of stress, well you're going to want to stick more heavily to those ReCode supportive foods because we know the effects that it's going to have on you digestively and just how your body's utilizing it. I think that, again, you've been given a lot of tools and opportunity to explore that for yourselves, and what I love about body temperature and pulse is you can feel anyway you want, but you take that body temperature [00:40:00] and pulse, the body does not lie. That allows you to get to explore whether it's a food thing, a stress thing, an emotional thing, whatever it might be for you.

A lot of you have questions about when can I start eating this or when I can start eating that, and if you're feeling restricted then we need to embody. We want you to see you're still not embodying your personal needs and The ReCode principles of there being no good, no bad, no right and no [00:40:30] wrong. That is one of my favorite things. I say it to everybody that I talk to because that is-

Christa: It's baffling.

Jeanne: It's so important because we've gotten caught up in this is good, and this is bad, and this is right and this is wrong. My question back is always who are we talking about and what's happening for them? The goal really is find a balance


____________________________________________________________________________

between that mental, emotional and physical, and this program has given you that opportunity to develop that awareness to do that. Again, you get to see what it is [00:41:00] that's affecting you positively or negatively, and make that conscious decision to do the things that do align with where you are in your healing process. Then, also be aware that there may be consequences, right? That's it.

Christa: Well, what we're saying here is if you're going to make a conscious decision to do the things that don't align.

Jeanne: Well, yeah. I didn't say that. Okay.

Christa: [crosstalk 00:41:21]. You said they do.

Jeanne: Oh, okay.

Christa: It's kind of like if you're like, “Hm, I'm at a party. I want a second glass of wine.”, and you do it, correct and continue. [00:41:30] Yes, you might get a headache, you might not sleep as well, but you can correct and continue because you have all the tools.

Jeanne: You have all the tools. You know exactly where to pick up. Exactly.

Christa: Through all the emotional work, it's about the self-trust that you can recover balance. We talked about this last week of having those tethers and knowing where you're sad point is, and knowing how to check yourself if you get one or two rungs out. Say, "Hey, it's time to come back in and recover balance so that you can maintain your health."

Jeanne: I think [00:42:00] that there is, again, this idea of hitting this place of perfection. There's no such thing. We live in a very imperfect world, so I think we all have to define what health means to us, what is important for us, and lead your life that way, and that's okay.

Christa: It's totally ... This is why I call my company The Whole Journey. It sounds cheesy, but it is. It's a journey. It's not a destination. This isn't like GPS, I start here [00:42:30] and I end there because life is going to happen and you're going to go down all kinds of winding paths, and it's how you feel along the way.

Jeanne: What you've learned is how you respond to it, and that gives you power in how you want to-


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: Exactly. That's where all the trust lies.

Jeanne: Exactly, exactly.

Christa: Okay, so many ReCoders want to know about weight loss.

Jeanne: Yes, so again I mentioned this earlier, some of us have been on this journey for our entire lives. I think it's important to revisit those stories, to just [00:43:00] be reminded of where we're at and where we've come from so that we can create realistic expectations. Your body has been compensating, some of us for multiple decades, to chronic stress and that causes a real breakdown. You have to remember that when your body has been in such a state of stress, it has not prioritized weight loss. It has prioritized survival. If you've been a chronic dieter and experienced lots of stress and trauma, [00:43:30] again, most of us for all of our lives, an enormous burden is now being removed from your adrenals, so that food we're taking off that burden, but we're giving our body what it needs. We've been doing for our body what it can't do for itself.

Over time, now your thyroid is going to start to up regulate. We're going to get more of that conversion that you're looking for, and your body's going to become more efficient at producing that energy. That's when that weight loss is going to start to happen. [00:44:00] We want to see those temperatures and pulses normalize. We want adaptation to occur, and again, it's that consistency over time where your body's going to say, “Okay, I'm safe. I don't have to carry this around anymore. I can't let go.” This is going to be different for every body, but I want to encourage you to keep moving. Don't stop moving because you're afraid of what it's going to do to your body temperature and pulse, and we'll talk a little bit more about it as we move on.

Christa: I just want to maybe break that into four [00:44:30] steps, just to drive the point home. It's like okay, you're looking for this bell curve, which most of you have right now, which is saying you are pulling yourself out of adrenal fatigue and your adrenals are healing. Then, step two, the temperature and pulses start to come up a little bit. Hey, now the body can convert your thyroid hormone and step three, they're starting to really balance, and now you're getting more thyroid hormone in cell. Step four, like Jeanne said, the morning temps are the last to rise. Now, [00:45:00] you're really rocking and rolling, and then you want to keep that going and then you get the exponential metabolic support because ... That's like I go back to that whirlpool analogy I talked about throughout this whole program, it's like what's the pace of your whirlpool and that's when the weight really starts to come off.


____________________________________________________________________________

Don't discount the emotional work because a lot of us pack on the pounds so that we don't have to be seen or we don't have to deal with certain things, or we don't have to fully be who we are, so if you haven't done the emotional work, that is also a big part of the weight loss piece.

Jeanne: It's a huge part of the weight loss piece [00:45:30] because I think, and I've already said it before in this program, is the emotions will always trump the physical, right? You can't escape the emotions. They'll drive and drive and drive until you have to look at them and manage them.

Christa: Yeah, stop you in your tracks.

Jeanne: Exactly, exactly. Just three simple tips. Keep your eye on your carbs, obviously, especially if you're struggling with that weight gain. Keep those carbs equal to that protein and keep that fat at least half of what your protein is to really balance [00:46:00] the breakdown and regulate your blood sugar more consistently and maintain that satiety so you're not getting those huge hormonal fluctuations. Keep your eye on your calories. Are you hitting that consistency from day to day. Do you have your food frequency locked in? Four, five, six meals, whatever it may be for you, that should look pretty similar throughout each day unless, again, workout days might be different than days that you don't work out or other days where you're expending more energy, obviously your calories are going to be a little bit more increased [00:46:30] but you should still see that consistency throughout the week.

If you're having huge fluctuations that are anywhere from 300 to 500, 600 calories, that inconsistency will hinder your progress, okay? Then, move. Exercise is important. I just said that, and what I love about the tools that you do have is you do get to explore that right type of exercise. Everybody should be moving, even if it's only for five minutes three times a day. You have that capacity to be able to do that. Here, your [00:47:00] movement, how do you know if your movement is damaging your health and your thyroid. Well, number one, you should feel energized and you should feel refreshed after your movement. It's such an essential piece to healing. It's an essential piece to being human because it's what pumps fluids, it's what detoxes us so the key is really to find the right type of movement to meet your body where it is in the healing process.

Remember, if you're somebody with low body temperatures and pulses, your body already sensing you running for [00:47:30] your life 24/7. It experiences-


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: So, don't go to kickboxing class [crosstalk 00:47:36]. You do gentle exercise that provides safety.

Jeanne: Right, or go for a walk an hour in the morning and do yoga at noon. We've got to be gentle with ourselves. We have to support our body and not push it harder. Again, if you push yourself to the point of exhaustion, you are compromising your thyroid. No doubt about it. How can you determine whether or not the exercise is right for you? Nose breathing. [00:48:00] If you're able to breathe through your nose, that is going to allow you to dictate your intensity and where your threshold is. I want to assure you're meeting your body's needs and not exceeding that threshold and that your cells are receiving that oxygen that they need to breathe, and to breathe you, right?

Christa: We talked about this last week. This is it. This is a refresh.

Jeanne: Yeah, so here are some things to think about. As I just mentioned, let breathe dictate your movement. Do any movement [00:48:30] at any intensity that you want as long as you can maintain a nose breath. You're going to get past that state where you might again get a little over-exerted. That's okay as long as you can recover, but right now in these early phases of healing, that's a great way to guide yourself. If you're not sure whether or not you are recovering, or if you need more nutritional support, or if you're just curious or you're feeling that exhaustion, take your temperature and pulse 30 minutes after movement to determine whether [00:49:00] or not your workout is supporting you or breaking you down. If your pulse skyrockets, typically the exercise choice was too intense, and if your temperature drops, it's more often than not the nutrition surrounding it. You want to look at both of those things to help you differentiate what it is that needs to be modified in that workout.

Nutrition, obviously. We've talked a little bit about this. You should be having some [00:49:30] nutrition or meal at least 60 minutes prior to work out, and we want you having a meal as soon as you possibly can after that workout to replenish those glycogen reserves. After a workout is when you can get a little bit more carbohydrates because your cells are so depleted that you can pull that carbohydrate and they just soak them right up. Where you want to take a little less fat, actually this would be the time to do it. A little less fat, a little more carb is where [00:50:00] you can get away with it right after a workout.

Christa: A lot of people because also cortisol levels rise with working out, they're not hungry after working out, so would you say force it or can they wait an hour and a half?


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: It would depend on their metabolic state. If they're pretty solid, and again, we're seeing longer periods of time between meals where their body is more efficient at storing energy, they probably could go a little bit longer without any worry, but if anything, take a smoothie and just start [00:50:30] sipping on it. It might take you a little bit of time to complete it but that smoothie could be helpful. Just start small, go slow, and listen to your body not your brain. Most important, yes. All right, okay, so how to gauge adrenal healing in temp and pulse patterns. Your adrenals will heal as long as they don't have to pick up the slack of the thyroid. [00:51:00] You have to realize that your adrenals, when they are having to do the work because those stress hormones shut down your thyroid, so your adrenals will heal when you're giving your body what it needs. That's going to allow your thyroid to function at its most optimal. You are looking for that strong bell curve on your temps and pulses, and then you're going to notice the improved resiliency to stress and quicker ability to recover from it.

That's really, really big. You're going to notice that your body just doesn't [00:51:30] react in the same way to the stressors because it has the tools to meet that stress where it is. It's really that simple, yeah. Okay. Those who've been experienced chronic prolonged stress will notice your bell curve improving as you take the burden off the adrenals through regulating the system. The adrenals will improve before the thyroid does [00:52:00] because again, we need those adrenals to quiet down in order for that thyroid to function. The cortisol just suppresses those conversions, right? We talked a little bit about that with the glucocorticoids. The body's just ripping energy, and remember, we have those three key ingredients the thyroid needs to function properly. See, I always do this. Yeah, so again if your thyroid ... [00:52:30] Okay, I'm just going to read this off of here and then I'll go from there. Because those stress hormones have been suppressing thyroid function by interfering with thyroid hormone conversion, so the situation is that the adrenals have been picking up all the slack. Exactly, which is why they have been so exhausted.

Typically, what happens is the stress comes in first, and it shuts the thyroid down. It's a vicious cycle, and that's what you guys have been doing with your food is you've been interrupting that [00:53:00] cycle. We've had to break that cycle because it's so difficult to get out of-

Christa: It's a vicious whirlpool.


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: It's a vicious whirlpool, so when the body's been locked in that stress, again, for such long period of times, it creates a deficiency in your resiliency. It pulls those tools out and weakens that nervous system, and creates a dominant sympathetic nervous system. When you're noticing that you're calmer, you're digesting better, you're sleeping better, [00:53:30] you're going longer periods of time, your energy's better, your mood is better, you're starting to lose weight, this is when you know that things are really beginning to come around for you. I want to go back to saying that again you are doing for your body what it can not do for itself right now. You are interrupting. That's why that food frequency and that food placement and timing is so imperative to your day and what's happening in your day, so stay in relationship with that because it's again informing you.

[00:54:00] All right, as you observe-

Christa: Medication versus non-medication.

Jeanne: Okay. Some of you again have been on medication. If you're on medication, it's really, really important that you continue to observe your logs. Pay attention, tune into what you're seeing, and then notice how you're feeling. If you've been on medication, particularly things like Nature Throid or Armour, or other T4/T3 combos, compounded [00:54:30] thyroid hormone, you may notice over time as your body begins to heal that it starts pushing you hyper. That means you do not need that medication any longer and that you want to begin to have that conversation with your doctor about titrating off those thyroid meds. Then, for those of you on Synthroid, you're going to notice improvement over time, just as you did when you started taking that thyroid medication. You'd have that decline, and then it would repeat and they'd bring your medication up.

If your temps and pulses struggle to regulate, [00:55:00] the first step would be number one, to get a T4/T3 combo, and then over time titrate off of that. If you're taking a Synthroid and you're doing the work, you should start to see a better conversion happening. If that's true for you, then again, you want to shift it over so you're getting both those hormones in and then you will be able, like I said, just to titrate off [00:55:30] as appropriate, but what we don't like to see is people on Synthroid for long periods of time because it creates a thyroid resistance. Most people that are on T4 still can not convert it, which is why so many people have success when they do start working the program in those conversions and they do start to notice some improvements with their body temperatures and pulses, but it still could be too much.


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: What about levothyroxine?

Jeanne: It's the same thing. It's just a different form of T4.

Christa: Okay.

Jeanne: Yeah, [00:56:00] same thing.

Christa: All right, so lots of questions were in there for me on Friday about post-ReCode supplements so I know this is something you want to talk about. The goal for you is to use food as medicine as much as possible with maintaining your health and healing, but I've been working with supplements for decades, and I use them to help mitigate symptoms, to keep the energy going, to help you feel better and help you have the wherewithal to [00:56:30] keep going, and then also to help optimize. It's going to be different for all of you. When you have reached ... You know, you know your temperature and your pulse, they're stable, you've got this optimal level of nervous system healing, and you've done the emotional work, you're going to know that you can rely mostly on food as your medicine until or unless the next life situation comes up. You can always go back to your adaptogens and things like that.

You're going to continue to use your macronutrient ratios [00:57:00] as a huge part of your medicine. Aim to respond, not react is a huge part of your medicine to reinforce the stability that you created. The thing here is the more you do this, the less you will leach vitamins and minerals when stressful situations come. It's not just about your glycogen reserves, but how you respond and how you react. If you're feeling really fried out and nervous, and you get in this state of fear and overwhelm, well you are [00:57:30] burning through your B vitamins and you're leaching minerals, really key trace minerals like crazy. That's just another impetus to keep it cool. You're also going to be digesting better by the time you get to this place, which is going to strengthen your immune system to work better on its own.

I'm going to give you some band aids tonight, but I just want you to start to realize that like Jeanne said when your temps are really regulated, your body's able to produce all the [00:58:00] enzymes you need, and enzymes are catalysts. They quicken the way that you can use your nutrients and you can use more of your nutrients, so that's why this program is as holistic as it could possibly be. So, you've taken some supplements. Many of you are on The ReCode and nutrient rich foods. Many of you should be to a point now where you're getting pretty close to having refilled nutrients stores, and you use


____________________________________________________________________________

these to provide extra assistance to the entire [00:58:30] glandular system, the entire hormonal code. Everyone is different. People are asking me what should I do? Should I take this? Should I not take this, so you have a ReCode supplement guide that is in the portal that you can all print, and we're going to go over it tonight. There's links to everything so you know where to get it.

These are the most common questions that I've been getting in the Facebook group and just in general working with people. If you want for general nutrition, [00:59:00] life, stress, days you can't eat as well, the DFH Multi is a really good multi. You would switch to a different multi if you're pregnant because you need more folate and you need more iron than DFH Multi. Complete DFH, Complete Multi, they have two, so you can just go down to two with breakfast. A lot of you having yellow pee, which actually is a good sign. It means you have enough vitamin B2, you have enough riboflavin to support the thyroid, but you probably still do need the rest of the B's [00:59:30] in there. The other thing that you can do if you don't want to take a full multi, you can take a methylated sublingual B capsule. I like Methyl-B by Ortho Molecular. You can just take that maybe two or three times a week, or when you know you're going to be working a little bit harder, you've got a long drive, you've got travel coming up. That would be helpful.

Fish oil is for inflammation, cholesterol management, brain function. This is the thing because fish oil is a [01:00:00] polyunsaturated fatty acid, so we need to make sure you really got the hang in this before you add fish oil back in. You can add two or three with breakfast, but you want to make sure your temps and pulses have stabilized in the ideal range for two weeks. I want to give you the opportunity to comment on that since we have different schools of thought on fish oil.

Jeanne: Well, it's not necessarily different. I don't think there is. I think it's just understanding it, and I think people do hear this quite differently as we present it, and I did speak to it yesterday on the Facebook Live is [01:00:30] that it's not the actual unsaturated fats themselves.

Christa: It's the ratio.

Jeanne: it's the ratio. It's the excess consumption that we're having, and because we do store them in our tissues and because what happens from an inflammatory perspective when the body is in this state, we recommend that we pull them back so that we can pull in the more supportive fats. That's all that it is.


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: Right, and now you've got that balance of the more supportive fat so when you're going to add in those 5 to 10% PUFAs, fish oil is [01:01:00] a good choice over certain specific nuts and seeds.

Jeanne: Well, it's nuts and seeds.

Christa: Well, really it's you got to worry you're getting the canola oil and soy oil when you eat out, even if you're eating at a healthy restaurant, right?

Jeanne: And, just the over consumption of greens and vegetables. We want the balance. I always come back to that moderation. We've heard that for how many decades, right? It's always about that moderation. We've lost our way along the way because we've been responding to the environmental stresses around us, and now we're just [01:01:30] coming back into that place.

Christa: Totally. Jeanne just mentioned greens, so the greens that I listed here, not the greens that you would eat, your general leafy greens. These are for general daily cellular detoxification. They're the combination of barley and wheat grass. There's some different greens. The one that we link is gluten free, and they've got chlorella and things that really help to feed the cells. Just general daily detoxification of environmental toxins [01:02:00] you're exposed to, things like glyphosate in parks, or chemicals that are being sprayed, or heavy metals, those types of things. I like to use that as a general, several times a week, and especially if you know, you think I haven't really eaten any vegetables this week. We all go through those weeks where we feel like what happened? How many vegetables did I have this week? That's where you could pick those up.

Liver. We love liver. You can continue that one a day, or one every other day because it's so [01:02:30] important to mitochondrial production and cellular health. It does have a lot of your B vitamins. It is going to support the thyroid and the adrenals at the same time, so that's something that you can just keep on hand, or when your energy is a little bit low, your temperature starts dropping, your pulses start dropping, you feel like you're headed into that cycle, definitely go back to your liver. Magnesium. I don't want for people to always stay on it, but you use it. Constipation, insomnia, anxiety, those [01:03:00] muscle twitches. That's a sign you need to refill your magnesium stores, relax the smooth muscle, really help the body relax the nervous system and anywhere from 400 to 800 milligrams as needed is completely fine. I love glyphosate. I'm sorry, not glyphosate. I don't love that. I love magnesium


____________________________________________________________________________

glycinate and the citrate is a lot of people use with that Calm, and that's really more just to produce a bowel movement, so I prefer the glycinate.

[01:03:30] 21 days in a row as needed. You may need that two or three times throughout the year. Same thing here with probiotics. For general health, immune and skin health, a good dose a couple of times a week is 25 billion CFU's, and you can do once or twice a week, or you can take a different approach and take it once a day for three weeks twice a year. Or, you always want to take probiotics after [01:04:00] taking antibiotics for a full 21 days. Or, flying. That changes your gut bacteria. That's really helpful. You're around somebody that's sick. You can take a probiotic to boost your immune system, so that's a really helpful healthy way to use probiotics. Those of you who are experiencing eczema, those of you who still have symptoms of SIBO, even if it's hypothyroid induced SIBO, especially candida, yeast infections, nail fungus, [01:04:30] any other types of skin rashes, Candicid Forte is going to be amazing for you, and again, it's all linked in your handouts.

Two, twice a day, away from food so it can do its work to knock down the yeast and the infections, and start to alleviate that pathogenic burden especially at this point in The ReCode after you've been doing this for eight weeks. If you're still having those symptoms now, you can definitely use some avid support, and this has an Oregon Grape in it. It's a really good berberine complex, which [01:05:00] is also clinically studied to help with glucose metabolism starting at the 21 day mark. You want to stay on this for 21 to 30 days to help with that. If candida is your main issue and it is still kicking, then you add in this product called TianChi, which has the appropriate amount of the lomatium and it's got all of the Chinese herbs that are going to knock down candida, but also address [01:05:30] the surrounding elements of candida.

It's also going to address the viruses, Epstein-Barr virus, and it's going to be really helpful at 10 to 15 drops a day in water, twice a day, away from food. Same time as the Candicid Forte. Saccharomyces Boulardii, candida, yeast infections, now fungus. Those are going to be your three supplements that you take for a week, and you can do anywhere from three to four before bed. If you still have a white coating on your tongue, you're going to [01:06:00] take the three supplements I mentioned. Okay, so gas, bloating, constipation, general indigestion? Low temps, right. You're not producing enough digestive enzymes to get that nutrition where it wants to go, and I use digestive enzymes. There's some people in the group that said I've been taking them for years.

Well, if you do that, you're telling your body, “Hey, I got this. Don't worry. You don't need to make lipase. You don't need to make amylase. I'm going to give it


____________________________________________________________________________

to you instead”, so of course, your body's not going to know how to do it and you're going to have to slowly titrate off. I like to use enzymes [01:06:30] really like 30 days, and at least once a year. I do that two with the largest meal, or sometimes two with each meal, no more than six a day to give the digestive organs a break because they're working for you, especially the more you're eating. It's nice to give them a break so then when you bring them back to do their job, they can come back full throttle, but you don't want to use them as a crutch.

You want to use them once a year to tonify the intestinal tract. Some of you, twice, or if you're still struggling, [01:07:00] you are gonna now take them to help alleviate from now let's say til the next month. Alleviate these symptoms so you can start digesting your food until your digestive system comes back online. My favorite leaky gut support formula is GI-Encap by Thorne. We've used this on literally now tens of thousands of people to help them, especially the nervous stomach, those of you with diarrhea, acid [01:07:30] reflux, bloating, constipation, gas. Two with each meal to do 30 days. I recommend every human does this at least once a year because you have a mucosa lining from mouth to anus, and stress is going to thin that lining. Sugar is going to thin that lining. Alcohol, caffeine, chemicals, antibiotics, and you have to replace that lining because your immune system and your ability to fight off foreign invaders that come lie within that mucosal lining.

When you need to be able to rack up those [01:08:00] pathogens in mucous and transport them out of your body, and if it's not there, it can't do it and they make a home inside of your body, so it's really important to understand that and just fine tune. PharmaGABA, I'm always going to be a huge fan of it. Insomnia, anxiety, tired but wired feeling. You're exhausted, but you can't let go enough to go to sleep because it's going to neutralize adrenaline, so 100 to 200 milligrams before bed when exceptional anxiety is present, you can take it during the [01:08:30] day and it won't make you tired. It'll just take the edge off so you can continue. Let's say you get some crazy bad news, that's something that you can go to as you're doing breathing and trying to recover, or when you just really feel like you need to sleep deeper. The husband's snoring, you got to get to bed sooner, drop into a deeper sleep.

This is really something that you use as needed, and you can do 30 to 60 days to replenish low Gaba stores in the brain, and a DUTCH panel or some kind of [01:09:00] metabolites in your in test is going to look and see where your Gaba is for those of you that want the facts to go with it. Throughout time, you should know about N-acetyl cysteine. The liver is working for you all the time, and N-acetyl cysteine is a wonderful compound that is going to help your liver


____________________________________________________________________________

produce glutathione, which is the master antioxidant in the body, which is going to support your adrenal health, not just your liver health. We know that the liver produces cholesterol. We know that the sex [01:09:30] hormones are then made from that cholesterol, so the liver is just a key element in hormonal balance. This could be something, and those of you who, if you at this point, you feel nauseous upon waking or nauseous when you got to eat food, you could use a 30 day course of N-acetyl cysteine.

Okay, the next three here, the next two are glandulars. They are not for people that are on thyroid or any adrenal medication. If you're on [01:10:00] any type of prednisone or anything like that, you are not going to do these glandulars. If you're on any type of thyroid meds, you're not going to do them, but if you're still feeling really tired, you're eating the foods and you need help with exhaustion ... This could also help with a little bit of weight loss, but I don't want you to do it for that, and instead you will not concurrently take the DFH Complete Multi with these because the A-drenal and the Thyroid Plus, they're both glandulars for the adrenal and they're [01:10:30] glandulars for the thyroid, but they're also mixed with the same nutrient profile that supports each gland, so you'll be doing double duty if you were to add in the multi as well.

You control it. It's one to two mid-morning. You don't stay on it longer than 60 days, and the Thyroid Plus, you don't stay on it longer than 90 days, and that's just one with breakfast. When you're exceptionally exhausted, you can take another one mid-morning. Then, there's Adrenotone. [01:11:00] You guys have been taking separately Rhodiola or Ashwagandha. You've been drinking your Holy Basil. Some of you, we recommend licorice, so the Adrenotone, there's a link to that under times of stress or overwork. If you know, “Oh gosh, I don't want to go back into this state, but hey, I'm going to have two, three, four 10 hour workdays, 12 hour workdays”, you can take this and that's going to help you to keep and maintain healthy cortisol levels and a healthy thyroid without [01:11:30] forcing the thyroid or the adrenals to overwork, but you don't take it if you have high blood pressure because it has licorice in it.

One with breakfast, one with lunch. 30 days is enough to do the trick there. Consistency is a jewel. The program might be finishing, but the plan isn't finishing, so I am going to bring us back, and we are going to answer questions now. [01:12:00] Wow, that was a long presentation. We've got 15 minutes of Q&A, so let's get to it. What do you think?

Jeanne: Yes. We got some questions.


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: Okay. All right, let's see. Cathy, my temps are great, forming a stable bell curve. However, pulses are-

Jeanne: Between low 80's to low 90's consistently.

Christa: What does that indicate?

Jeanne: Low 80's is fine. Anything about 85, [01:12:30] and again, above 85 is typically leading more toward your body's releasing cortisol. Your body's experiencing a stressor, and again, looking at your food, looking at what's affecting you, what else is going on in that day, the day previous, how you slept that night. All of those things are things you want to check in with yourself. I think the breathing is a powerful tool, but again, you might just have to zoom out and really take a look at what's happening around you to help you, again, narrow down what [01:13:00] might be causing that.

Christa: Okay. All right, oh Layla is asking for examples of power proteins. There all listed in your dietary guidelines, Layla, and they're going to be your white fish, your shellfish, eggs and organ meats.

Jeanne: Broth and collagens.

Christa: And, broth and collagen. You want to continue that as much as you can to mix the broth and the collagen with the muscle meat when you're going to have it. Sarah, today I had two appointments, work to do for clients, [01:13:30] tax season, and two online meetings. My dog is ill and took a turn for the worse. I'm sorry. Usually, I would get in a tizzy, a disaster for my brain, but I was able to stay calm, prioritize and reschedule so I could take of the things that were most important; take my dog to the vet, attend the meetings. I'm way behind on the modules, but I've been eating The ReCode plan for the last eight weeks. It's working.

Jeanne: It's working.

Christa: See, this is it. Prior to The ReCode a tizzy would have been inevitable. Now, I have a choice.

Jeanne: I love it. Love it. Yes.

Christa: [01:14:00] Oh, that's great.


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: Love, love, love.

Christa: All right. You willing to take a look here? Marilyn's got some lab work she posted.

Jeanne: Free T3, 250, reverse, last free TSH, 3.0. A little on the higher end. We might to see a free T3/T2, 240. It looks like things are coming down.

Christa: Yeah, but you're still stressed. Your adrenals, Marilyn, are still stressed. Your thyroid is still working hard. You've been on levothyroxine for years. Yeah, [01:14:30] you keep working. Keep working.

Jeanne: Marilyn, yeah, and I would say maybe you want to talk to your doctor about switching your thyroid medications because again there could be a thyroid resistance depending on how long you've been on it. Similar to insulin resistance is it just can't get into the cell.

Christa: So, move to a compounded T3/T4?

Jeanne: A compounded T4/T3, yeah.

Christa: I think that's a good idea, too, Marilyn to switch now. You've just been on it for way too long. Even one year is too long, [01:15:00] and if it's years, yeah, I think that's a good plan. Okay, is it important to continue to add salt to water, bone broth and the creamsicle?

Jeanne: In my experience what I've noticed as the adrenals heal, you want to always salt to taste. That's going to allow you to define what you need. You don't want to oversalt anything, but I think adding salt to taste just because of the environment, the world [01:15:30] that we live in today is very supportive to recovering some of those sodium deficiencies.

Christa: Well, you'll stop craving it. You'll know when you don't need it. You just stop craving it, or it'll taste salty to you where it once didn't.

Jeanne: It'll taste too salty. Exactly.

Christa: Yeah, that'll be a [crosstalk 01:15:43] thing. I'm going to say yes, your microbiome will start to come into balance as you continue on The ReCode, and you can use some of these supplement suggestions that I gave you to help it come into balance quicker if you want.


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: Yeah, but just realize, Marilyn, that because of where your body is right now, it's going to take a little bit [01:16:00] of time. Right? Marilyn was the one with the-

Christa: Yep.

Jeanne: Yeah.

Christa: Yes, okay. Ruby, I would pay extra to webinar with you guys once a month for the year. The connection's awesome. I've gotten so much just out of your presence. Thank you. Truly life changing. We know how to fish now. Woo hoo.

Jeanne: Love it, love it.

Christa: Yeah, we're kicking around the idea of doing some type of continual thing. We need a couple months to collect ourselves. It's been a really intense [01:16:30] six months for us.

Jeanne: We hit the ground running.

Christa: I'm also thinking of doing something in person with everybody, so stay tuned. We're going to stay in close touch with you, and we want to stay connected just as much as you do. We love you guys. Okay, let's go up here. Janelle, struggle with my present state and listening to my body. I don't experience the sensation of hunger, and oftentimes feel full even when fasting for long periods of time. [01:17:00] When am I able to add in movement exercise? Would this be a time that I force feed anyway since I'm not experiencing hunger? I think doing a little bit of taking the NAC and helping with the liver is going to be helpful for you.

Jeanne: Yeah, I think it's just remembering again where your body is right now, and really meeting it where it is. I think, Janelle has the chronic brain injury?

Christa: Oh, good memory.

Jeanne: [01:17:30] Yes, so she's stuck in my mind for a long time because I know that there is this want to get there, but we can't rush it. There was a song, Trevor Hall, You Can't Rush Your Healing, and I almost posted it.

Christa: You should.


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: I'll post it on the Facebook page because I think it's really beautiful [crosstalk 01:17:51], and I think, again, it's a conditioning from a societal perspective that we've gotten into, and just because we want to feel better, we all want to feel better yesterday, [01:18:00] but right now, again, we know that hunger suppression, or the suppression of your appetite is the first sign of stress in the system. We know that something's happening within that HPA, happening with the brain as a whole, so your body's under a tremendous amount of stress, and I think don't try to force feed yourself. Use liquid fuel right now. That's what you can tolerate. Consume it throughout the day, constantly be sipping nutrient dense energy as much as you possibly [01:18:30] can-

Christa: And, take chromium to help with hypothalamic function.

Jeanne: Yeah, and movement, again, light movement if you're able to do that now, I think, is important. I think you had mentioned last time we met on the webinar that you weren't even thinking about that right now, but when you're ready to exercise, I think you're also going to be getting those messages and receiving them in a very different way when you know that you're saying, “Hey, I'm excited about exercising, I'm ready to move”, then I think you're going to be experiencing your hunger, your [01:19:00] digestion, a very different way at that point so it'll be really clear to you how to meet that, I think. Right?

Christa: Yeah, I totally agree. All right, Jennifer. I think this is just a nice compliment. Who doesn't want to be with the brightest lights? Christa, Jeanne, Kris, Tamera, we want so much to be with you. That's why it feels so throat swelling to know we'll be without your presence after having gotten so comfortable with you. I only hope that we, the ReCoders, have nourished you and [inaudible 01:19:30] [01:19:30] you. We needy folks can sync the energy of the stronger ones. We all want to bless you for your loving kindness and for teaching us to fish in order to care for the only vehicle we will ever live in. That's beautiful. A Ugandan friend once told me Bambi is a word used to describe any and all feelings, senses and unspeakables that have no words to express. Aw, Bambi to you, for you, with you.

Jeanne: I love that. Thank you.

Christa: Thank you, Jennifer. We love you. Thank you for posting that. All right. Nancy, [01:20:00] I spent the day at the library, desk facing the green forest outside. The nature is so empowering, and this has even increased in my awareness because of The Adrenal ReCode, and I've worked so very hard and still will on the emotional factors, rewriting my story and stepping into The ReCoded


____________________________________________________________________________

Present Self. I love her. She loves me. Amen. I'm serious, I can't tell you how long Nancy has been waiting for Nancy to come back. Yeah, right? You're all in there. It's just-

Jeanne: You're all in there.

Christa: Yeah, this is beautiful.

Jeanne: All [crosstalk 01:20:29] up.

Christa: [01:20:30] It is, yeah. I spent way too many years being mean to myself for perfection's sake. So silly, nothing to show for it other than, of course, health, body, emotional issues. Right? This is new and improved. Thank you. Doing the emotional work has been a real healing, and I'm excited to keep going to see where this can further take me. I will say this lastly, the word that came to me this year was limitless, and now I know why. Oh, chills. You are all limitless. [01:21:00] Lisa, okay, this is great. Thank you for asking this. What about the seven daily doses? Do we wean off? Well, the answer is you decide. I think so. You comment on the carrot balancer. How long would you have them do that?

Jeanne: Again, I think it's something you can continue to do to be perfectly honest with you. Yeah, I think it's something you can continue to do, and then again, if you still struggle, obviously, women going into perimenopause or menopause, it's a really powerful [01:21:30] tool to assist with that, so I think again it's not go off it here, go off it there. It's pulling it in as needed.

Christa: It's pulling it as needed when you know you need it like three to five times a week, because it's a lot. They're doing a lot, and they can't keep continuing, but it's going to help you detox estrogen. It's going to help you balance, keep your microbiome balanced without supplements.

Jeanne: I'm sorry. Just really quick. Notice the tools that you've been using, and what ones you've really noticed a difference with because those are the ones that are going to sink into [01:22:00] your toolbox a little bit more, and what do they do for you because that's what's going to allow you to identify when to use it.

Christa: Right, so like the Golden Milk at night. You will know certain nights you don't need it, and you sleep just fine because you've now refilled your glycogen stores and you're feeling better, but there's going to be some nights where you know that you need it to ground, to anchor, to center, to cut inflammation and to help you sleep better, so you're going to need to choose. The only thing that you can definitely stop is the Tulsi [01:22:30] tea. After eight weeks, you can


____________________________________________________________________________

stop that because that's an adaptogen, and it's a supplement via a tea, so you can stop that. There's a couple people that say, “Oh, but I feel really good on it.” Okay, fine, keep it going for a little while longer, but maybe it's just one cup, and then maybe it's just a cup here and there throughout the week, and you start to use that intuitively.

Same goes for broccoli sprouts. I added those in because I wanted you to really start to take care of your liver and create more glutathione and they are [01:23:00] powerful, indirect antioxidants, so no harm in picking them up when you go to the grocery story and continuing to use them, but you don't have to be as intentional and as diligent about them. The same thing, you eating egg yolks a couple times a week. We used them because supplements were optional in this program. They weren't mandatory, and we wanted to get enough choline to support the brain, to help the neurotransmitters replenish themselves, and you're going to be eating eggs anyway. You know if [01:23:30] I have two or three eggs today, maybe I don't have them for a couple of days, but you don't have to have an egg yolk a day like a supplement anymore.

Thank you so much for bringing that up. I meant to talk about it. Okay, Nancy wants to talk about greens. Jeanne said not to go eat tons of greens. I'm confused. I tend towards them. Can you repeat what you said about greens and what are your favorite vegetables for us ReCoders going forward?

Jeanne: I don't think there's a limit to the types of vegetables that you can have. I think, again, it's not having [01:24:00] a lot of raw vegetable and always making sure that those vegetables are accompanied with a more metabolic carbohydrate. As we've said a lot on The ReCode, they're a free food. It's just a matter of ... Again, I'm going to say moderation again because that's what it is. They're not a bad food. They're loaded with nutrients. We don't want to, again, affect ourselves digestively and we are, no matter how you dice it, surrounded by chronic stress so we have to think about how do we begin to protect ourselves, [01:24:30] and that's you've been learning because the greatest defense you have against the stress of the world is your metabolism, is the function of your body because we have all the tools innately, inherently in our bodies to be able to defend ourselves.

That's what you've really been doing so it's not a fear about doing too much or doing too little. It's just about understanding those principles, about meeting your body and finding that balance, and realizing that there's carbohydrates that fuel the cells and there's other forms of carbohydrates, like [01:25:00] greens, that don't necessarily accomplish that goal, but still provide you loads of vitamins and minerals that again we need because those are the-


____________________________________________________________________________

Christa: And, loads of value.

Jeanne: Yeah, exactly.

Christa: You'll know. You're going to ask yourself ... there's comment, Sandy, is like my body doesn't like cold foods, and a lot of you aren't going to be able to tolerate cold foods for another couple of months, or not until we get to the thick of summer and you're going to start to naturally crave them. I don't drink green juice really much in the winter, and then I start to naturally crave it. On the greens thing, it's like you [01:25:30] know, maybe when you do have green juice, you have eight or 12 ounces and it's just a couple times a week, if you're going to have it, and it's always with food so that type of thing to make sure you're getting it well balanced, but it's not going to be you're going on some kind of green juice cleanse, or you're having it every day multiple times a day.

Jeanne: Right.

Christa: Yeah. Okay, so Sandy, my body does not like cold foods. Cooked and warm foods are what have brought me to normal temps and pulses. We just answered that. Yes, that may change in the summer going forward as the body changes [01:26:00] and it doesn't have to work so hard to keep up with the external environment.

Jeanne: I think we should say I like that point as far as seasons. Your nutritional needs are going to shift with the season, and again, you will naturally feel that so be open to exploring them for yourselves.

Christa: Anya says my doctor took temps in the office with an ear thermometer. It was 98.2 but at home right after, it was 96.9 with my mouth thermometer. Why so different? Any thoughts? Doc doesn't believe my temps are low.

Jeanne: [01:26:30] I have never found ear thermometers to be very-

Christa: Yeah, trust the mouth thermometer.

Jeanne: Yeah, the mouth thermometer is going to give you a more accurate reading.

Christa: Mary, would it be possible to have the yoga videos download rather than audio? Hoping to create a routine. As a down ... I will check in. You mean download the video that you can watch it? You have access to this for a year. Somebody asked that. I'll see how the team is doing it [01:27:00] technically


____________________________________________________________________________

and if it's easy enough to post a link to it, no problem to do that, but I'll ask them to double check the tech, which isn't my super power. Okay, Rose Mary is supporting Nancy very nicely. Question about gauging healing and movements. Since starting eight weeks ago, my temps are steadily rising. Was 95 to 97.2, now 98.1 all day with a slight bell curve. Hey, way to go. I experimented with a post-breakfast dog walk, [01:27:30] easy to nose breathe. I checked my temp after the walk to get a sense for how it affected me, not something I would have noticed but new awareness, and I could feel a slight shakiness.

Yep, okay. Sure enough, I crashed for the first time in weeks, and 95 with just a short walk. Healthy 42 year old, no health issues I'm aware of, but in retrospect, I had to take a nap after intense workouts with my trainer in my 30's. Yeah, these days just Christa's Yoga Flow and dog walking, that's it. You stay there. You stay there until you don't [01:28:00] feel shaky.

Jeanne: I love the feedback. I love the awareness. Perfect. It's perfect.

Christa: See, it's amazing, right, because this is you becoming your own best doctor. My thyroid numbers look okay on my annual physical. Am I healing, but not storing glycogen in my liver muscle's fragile state? Yes, you are healing. Yes, you're still in a fragile state. I immediately myself a ReCode ... I'm thinking maybe a smoothie ... and recovered. Yeah, how to interpret the crash after such a good breakfast. [01:28:30] Easy movement. It was just too much for you-

Jeanne: Too much at that time of the day.

Christa: Yeah, at that time of the day or because of what happened the previous couple of days with the stress level you had.

Jeanne: Yeah, I think she was saying that she's waking up still low, right? You're still waking up in an energy deficit, so it's taking your body some time throughout the day to build that energy back up, so again, you might want to just choose that timing. The timing is just off, so that walk might have been more appropriate a little [01:29:00] bit later into the morning where there's more fuel in the system and your body's been able to metabolize that a little differently and build those storages back up.

Christa: Perfect. All right, it's 5:30 and we've got to pick up our little ones, so we're going to take just a couple more questions. Rachel, how do we determine the right protein for ourselves? Is this in the document? I think I heard you say that carbs should be equal to my protein. Is this correct? Yes.


____________________________________________________________________________

Jeanne: It should be, if that's what your body's asking you for. Something within [01:29:30] that range.

Christa: Equal or greater than.

Jeanne: Or, greater to. Yep, exactly. Then, again, with that food frequency, those steps in customizing your macros, you dropped into what your body's asking for protein wise, but to develop that awareness just eyeballing that, see where you're at. .8 grams per pound of body weight is typically where most people are going to fall, unless you're an avid exerciser or a professional athlete, you're probably going to lean a little bit more heavy to the one point, [01:30:00] the one gram per pound.

Christa: Okay. Susan, Erica, thank you so much. I'm so grateful for your ReCode. I'm doing so well on all levels in the midst of life challenges. Blessings. Blessing to you. Thank you for doing The ReCode. All right. Yeah, see, Marilyn, you're going to get off that levothyroxine. Okay, Renee, you mentioned a possible retreat. Is that something you're still considering? If so, do you have details? A retreat would be amazing. No, it's just in my brain right now, Renee, [01:30:30] but yeah, I'm thinking of renting out this wellness center and having 30 or 40 ReCoders, and all four of us will be there. It's like a week that you can come and just restore, so stay tuned. Stay tuned. It's probably not going to happen in 2019, but maybe in 2020.

All right, guys. Let's see. Okay, there's more questions here than we can get to, [01:31:00] but we love you and what we did not answer, what we didn't get to, you still have us in the Facebook group. Jeanne will be there tomorrow from 12:00 to 1:00, so if your question didn't get answered, because I saw a couple impulse questions, then post it in the Facebook group between 12:00 and 1:00. Jeanne will be back live, her beautiful face, on Monday and I will be there Friday, so you've got Jeanne, then you've got Tamara Thursday, and then you've got me Friday.

Jeanne: [01:31:30] I don't think we have you Monday.

Christa: Oh, no. Not Monday. It ends this Friday. You're right, okay. All right, so one more time each. Thank you for that. I know, see I don't want it to end either. All right, guys. Kate, Pauline, Nancy, Mary, Vicki, you guys, you are most welcome. Thank you all for being here, for doing the work because we're just the guys. You made it happen.
