00:00:01.963 --> 00:00:07.995
You have the power to shift gears in your mindset, to detox those entrenched thoughts.
00:00:07.995 --> 00:00:11.547
The trick isn't to keep wrestling with the surface issues.
00:00:11.547 --> 00:00:19.393
It's to pull those weeds out from their roots, clear the field of those limiting self-perceptions once and for all.
00:00:19.393 --> 00:00:25.240
If you want to break the mold of traditional pharmacy and healthcare, you are in the right place.
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:29.210
Welcome to the Pivoting Pharmacy with Nutrigenomics podcast.
00:00:29.210 --> 00:00:31.842
Part of the Pharmacy Podcast Network.
00:00:32.405 --> 00:00:33.447
Here's a little truth bomb.
00:00:33.447 --> 00:00:42.052
We're all unique, down to our DNA, so it's no wonder we react differently to the same medications, foods and environment.
00:00:42.052 --> 00:00:54.094
Here's a million dollar question how can you discover exactly what your body needs, which medication, what foods or supplements and which exercises are right for you?
00:00:54.094 --> 00:00:59.451
How can you manage chronic conditions like diabetes without more medications?
00:00:59.451 --> 00:01:03.185
How can you lose weight and keep it off?
00:01:03.185 --> 00:01:10.566
How do you tap into your genetic blueprint so you can stop surviving and start thriving in health and life?
00:01:10.566 --> 00:01:14.710
That is the question, and this podcast will give you the answer.
00:01:14.710 --> 00:01:18.450
I'm your host, dr Tamar, lawful doctor of pharmacy.
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:23.272
Let's pivot into genomics and bring healthcare to higher levels.
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.251
Hello and welcome to Pivoting Pharmacy with Nutrigenomics.
00:01:28.251 --> 00:01:33.753
I'm Dr Tamar, lawful doctor of pharmacy and certified nutritional genomics specialist.
00:01:33.753 --> 00:01:37.030
Let's take a moment to get a bit personal, shall we?
00:01:37.030 --> 00:01:45.129
I had this heart-to-heart chat with a client recently, someone who's been on this roller coaster of weight loss for what feels like forever.
00:01:45.129 --> 00:01:54.325
She's tried every diet you've heard of and probably some you haven't Keto, done Intermittent fasting, been there, you name that diet.
00:01:54.325 --> 00:01:55.487
She's given it a go.
00:01:56.049 --> 00:02:00.384
And yet here we were, feeling like we were at a standstill.
00:02:00.384 --> 00:02:03.572
She was teetering on the edge of just throwing in the towel, you guys.
00:02:03.572 --> 00:02:06.703
Still she was teetering on the edge of just throwing in the towel, you guys.
00:02:06.703 --> 00:02:17.151
As we dove deeper into our conversation, peeling back layer after layer, it dawned on us both the real challenge wasn't so much about her diet or how many times she hit the gym.
00:02:17.151 --> 00:02:25.491
The true battle it was a narrative she had running in her head, these deep-seated beliefs weighing her down.
00:02:25.491 --> 00:02:39.528
She carried this conviction that her genetics were to blame for her struggles, that she was somehow predestined not to fit into the mold of what she saw as a healthy body.
00:02:39.528 --> 00:02:42.713
This realization was a game changer.
00:02:42.713 --> 00:02:48.463
It's like we uncovered this critical piece of the puzzle that had been missing all along.
00:02:48.463 --> 00:02:57.512
It became crystal clear that what needed cleansing wasn't just her diet, but her mental and emotional pathways.
00:02:57.632 --> 00:03:08.667
Too Many of us are stuck in this same cycle, battling these ingrained beliefs without even realizing they're what's holding us back.
00:03:08.667 --> 00:03:20.393
It's as if there are this whole other level of detox we need to tap into, the kind that digs deep into our psyche and sweeps out those cobwebs of self-doubt and resignation.
00:03:20.393 --> 00:03:23.288
That's where the real transformation begins.
00:03:23.288 --> 00:03:27.390
You know, I see this all the time, and maybe you do too.
00:03:27.390 --> 00:03:37.088
We get obsessed with counting calories, carbs and how many steps we hit on our watches, pouring all our energy into these metrics.
00:03:37.088 --> 00:03:42.752
Yet how often do we look inward to the thoughts twirling around upstairs?
00:03:42.752 --> 00:03:57.506
I'm talking about those sneaky little beliefs that hold court in the back of our minds I just can't lose this weight, I'm too old for this, or healthy living, not with my genes.
00:03:58.546 --> 00:03:59.789
Now pause and think about it.
00:03:59.789 --> 00:04:06.792
Could these pesky thoughts, not your actual efforts, be the real bottleneck in your journey towards wellness?
00:04:06.792 --> 00:04:16.992
They usually spring up from stories we've been told growing up, the cultural scripts we've been handed and those personal life moments that stick with us.
00:04:16.992 --> 00:04:25.747
Slowly but surely, they weave themselves into our worldview, and more often than not, they're nothing but roadblocks.
00:04:25.747 --> 00:04:42.314
If any of this feels familiar, it's quite possible you've tried to tough it out right, armed with nothing but pure grit, you hop from one diet plan to the next, hunting for that elusive silver bullet, but you just end up circling back to the starting point.
00:04:43.076 --> 00:04:46.305
That cycle isn't just about the diets that drop off.
00:04:46.305 --> 00:04:54.362
It's also about riding a carousel of self-critique and missing out on genuine chances to shift the gears of your health.
00:04:54.362 --> 00:04:58.963
But hey, here's the uplifting part this cycle it's breakable.
00:04:58.963 --> 00:05:06.165
You have the power to shift gears in your mindset, to detox those entrenched thoughts.
00:05:06.165 --> 00:05:10.035
The trick isn't to keep wrestling with the surface issues.
00:05:10.035 --> 00:05:17.958
It's to pull those weeds out from their roots, clear the field of those limiting self-perceptions once and for all.
00:05:17.958 --> 00:05:21.985
So what happens when you start this mental housecleaning?
00:05:21.985 --> 00:05:38.947
You might just find yourself managing stress like a pro, making choices with sharp clarity and embracing the powerful belief that your health is in your hands yes, genes and all Ready to flip those beliefs on their head and carve out new pathways to last and change.
00:05:39.675 --> 00:05:43.187
Let's dive into the nitty gritty of kickstarting this mental refresh.
00:05:43.187 --> 00:05:47.185
I want you to imagine that your mind is like a garden.
00:05:47.185 --> 00:05:51.199
It's time to do some weeding and planting to bring it back to its glory.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:53.163
How do you get started?
00:05:53.163 --> 00:05:57.619
There are three tools you can put into your gardening toolkit.
00:05:57.619 --> 00:06:04.896
There's mindfulness meditation, cognitive restructuring and expressive writing.
00:06:05.918 --> 00:06:11.536
So with mindfulness meditation, think of it as giving your brain a mini vacay.
00:06:11.536 --> 00:06:30.538
You just have to take five to 10 minutes of your day just to sit quietly, breathe and notice your thoughts especially the party poopers that tell you this is too hard or I can't Now generally guide those thoughts towards something a bit more cheering like I'm going to give this all I got.
00:06:30.538 --> 00:06:32.442
I'm not going to act like.
00:06:32.442 --> 00:06:33.786
This was easy for me.
00:06:33.786 --> 00:06:36.199
When I first started using mindfulness meditation.
00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:44.603
My mind was meditating on everything the cars driving by outside, the sound of the AC, the errands I had to do.
00:06:44.603 --> 00:06:48.168
How much time did I have left before the baby's nap was over.
00:06:48.168 --> 00:06:51.821
Needless to say, this wasn't meditation at all.
00:06:51.821 --> 00:07:00.646
Focusing was extremely difficult for me at first, but with practice those race and thoughts diminished, and they will for you as well.
00:07:01.776 --> 00:07:05.021
The second tool you can use is cognitive restructuring.
00:07:05.021 --> 00:07:09.629
Think of this as your chance to turn into a thought detective.
00:07:09.629 --> 00:07:17.619
A therapist could be your guide here, offering immense help, but it's also something you can start by yourself.
00:07:17.619 --> 00:07:21.408
Begin by putting those negative thoughts under the microscope.
00:07:21.408 --> 00:07:23.898
Are they rooted, in fact?
00:07:23.898 --> 00:07:26.423
Let's take two common examples.
00:07:27.384 --> 00:07:33.517
I always fail when I try new things or nobody really appreciates me.
00:07:33.517 --> 00:07:36.463
Now hold those thoughts up to the light.
00:07:36.463 --> 00:07:43.663
For the first, consider past instances where you succeeded or even partly achieved your goal.
00:07:43.663 --> 00:07:47.350
This shows that always isn't accurate.
00:07:47.350 --> 00:07:51.478
For the second thought, which was nobody really appreciates me.
00:07:51.478 --> 00:07:59.040
Reflect on moments when others have shown appreciation or kindness towards you, even if they seem minor.
00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:09.148
This helps to undermine the sweeping assertion that nobody values you, reinforcing the perspective with concrete examples of being valued.
00:08:09.148 --> 00:08:20.286
Perhaps you could shift the thought I always fail when I try new things to I have learned and grown from every experience and there have been successes along my journey.
00:08:20.286 --> 00:08:27.307
This acknowledges progress and resilience, rooting your mindset in the reality of personal development.
00:08:27.307 --> 00:08:40.909
Or perhaps change nobody really appreciates me to I'm recognized and valued by those around me in various ways, some of which might be subtle but are significant nonetheless.
00:08:40.909 --> 00:08:51.523
This adjustment draws attention to the actual instances of appreciation you've encountered, fostering a mental space grounded in acknowledgement and value.
00:08:51.523 --> 00:09:08.366
This process is about challenging and transforming those negative thoughts into ones that aren't just sunnier but also true and solid, creating a mental environment where positivity is based on reality, not just wishful thinking.
00:09:08.727 --> 00:09:15.746
So that's cognitive restructuring, and then a third tool in your toolkit is expressive writing.
00:09:15.746 --> 00:09:18.619
You get those feelings out onto paper.
00:09:18.619 --> 00:09:23.916
You know how your closet gets all messy and packed with stuff until it's bursting at the seams.
00:09:23.916 --> 00:09:29.182
Well, writing out your feelings is pretty much the same thing, but for your headspace.
00:09:29.182 --> 00:09:38.423
Just picture every word you scribble down as you pulling out old shoes and shirts, deciding what to keep and what to chuck.
00:09:38.423 --> 00:09:46.888
So when you're journaling, it's like you're having a one-on-one chat with all those pesky emotions and thoughts that throw you off balance.
00:09:46.888 --> 00:09:49.339
One chat with all those pesky emotions and thoughts that throw you off balance, the ones messing with your groove.
00:09:49.339 --> 00:09:52.169
It's great because writing helps.
00:09:52.169 --> 00:09:58.086
You Just put it out there, straight from your brain onto something you can actually see.
00:09:58.086 --> 00:09:59.340
You visualize it.
00:09:59.340 --> 00:10:06.702
You may even end up digging out stuff you didn't know was hiding in there, like finding an old photo or a lost sock.
00:10:06.702 --> 00:10:09.364
It was there all that time you didn't realize it.
00:10:09.364 --> 00:10:13.807
You might bump into things about yourself you didn't even notice before.
00:10:13.807 --> 00:10:20.620
It's like one moment you're venting about something annoying and the next you're figuring out why it bugs you in the first place.
00:10:20.620 --> 00:10:25.720
And the more you do this expressive writing, this journaling, the better it gets.
00:10:26.743 --> 00:10:33.447
Regularly, writing out your feelings can become your go-to move for when you're feeling all jumbled up inside.
00:10:33.447 --> 00:10:38.515
It sort of hits the slow motion button on your brain, giving you time to untangle all your feelings.
00:10:38.515 --> 00:10:47.139
So stick with it and basically you'll be setting yourself up for some next level peace and clarity restructuring.
00:10:47.139 --> 00:10:57.344
All right, friend, choose one of these strategies to start with mindfulness, meditation, cognitive restructuring or expressive writing.
00:10:57.344 --> 00:11:00.489
Remember, perfection is not the goal.
00:11:00.489 --> 00:11:04.480
Showing up for yourself consistently is Now.
00:11:04.760 --> 00:11:06.244
Take a tiny action today.
00:11:06.244 --> 00:11:12.902
Identify just one limiting belief that's been acting as a speed bump on your wellness road.
00:11:12.902 --> 00:11:14.144
Write it down.
00:11:14.144 --> 00:11:20.106
Then flip the script and write a powerful, positive comeback right next to it.
00:11:20.106 --> 00:11:25.369
This is your first leap into mental and emotional decluttering.
00:11:25.369 --> 00:11:34.340
For instance, if you're telling yourself I'm too old to start getting in shape, the ship has sailed on my best years and improving my health now just feels pointless.
00:11:34.340 --> 00:11:35.945
Let's turn that around to.
00:11:36.547 --> 00:11:39.937
Every single day is a golden chance to boost my well-being.
00:11:39.937 --> 00:11:48.320
Age is not the boss of me, and my body is an amazing thing that can embrace positive change at any life chapter.
00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.418
From this moment on, I choose actions that fortify my health, vitality and fitness.
00:11:54.418 --> 00:11:59.287
It's never, ever too late to start feeling better and stronger.
00:11:59.287 --> 00:12:01.976
See, it's truly that simple, friend.
00:12:01.976 --> 00:12:04.744
Let's begin rewiring those thoughts.
00:12:04.744 --> 00:12:14.860
