30
00:02:12.879 --> 00:02:15.800
I can keep going, but this is just a fascinating

31
00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.520
conversation to getting ready to have. So with all that

32
00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:22.759
being said, Christine, welcome to Word of Mom, Rady Dory.

33
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.240
Thank you so much for having me. I'm really delighted

34
00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:25.919
to be here with you.

35
00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.439
It's my pleasure and I would love for you to

36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.280
take us on your journey, especially the weight loss journey

37
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:38.039
and really how your faith played a role in it.

38
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:42.280
Yeah, I'll start from my turning point story and it

39
00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:45.280
actually was almost ten years ago now I can't believe it.

40
00:02:45.520 --> 00:02:48.199
I've been doing this for ten years. But ten years ago,

41
00:02:48.400 --> 00:02:51.120
I was on an anniversary trip with my husband to

42
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.560
celebrate our twenty fifth anniversary, and we left our home

43
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:57.520
state of Michigan and went to Rocky Mountain National Park

44
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.840
in Colorado, which is beautiful, and my husband had planned

45
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:04.360
out some hikes for us. So I went to the

46
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:07.439
trail marker that he wanted to go up to Nymph Lake.

47
00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:09.159
And I looked at the trail marker and it set

48
00:03:09.159 --> 00:03:11.919
a half a mile, and I thought I can do

49
00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:15.080
a half a mile. But I started up that path

50
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.479
and let me tell you, Dory, I only got about

51
00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:22.360
halfway up that path to that lake before I began

52
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:27.240
gasping for air and I could not go another step.

53
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.599
I had to tell my husband that he could go

54
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.360
on without me, and he said, are you sure, And

55
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:35.120
I'm like, yeah, I'm positive, because I needed a moment

56
00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.759
to myself. In that moment, again, I was gasping for air,

57
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.400
my legs were killing me. I sure, just so devastated

58
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:46.960
that I couldn't go on. And the reason being is

59
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.439
because my body was not able to do it the hike.

60
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.159
At that time, I was one hundred pounds overweight, more

61
00:03:54.159 --> 00:03:56.879
than one hundred pounds overweight. I would have been what

62
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.960
doctors were now classifying me as morbidly obey.

63
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.000
And I was just about.

64
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:06.039
Having a time in my life when the chronic health

65
00:04:06.080 --> 00:04:09.000
issues were just starting to pile up. I'd already been

66
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:11.960
told I was pre diabetic. At that time, I knew

67
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:14.560
I was carrying around all this extra weight. My knees

68
00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:18.920
were in pain, and I sat on the side of

69
00:04:18.959 --> 00:04:23.759
that trail on a stump, and I remember just starting

70
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:27.480
to have a conversation with myself, berating myself, and then

71
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:29.560
got to the point where, like, I cannot go on

72
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.600
like this. I was not even fifty years old at

73
00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:35.639
that time, I was only forty eight, and I started

74
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.079
thinking about my future. Am I going to be around

75
00:04:39.079 --> 00:04:42.279
to meet my grandchildren? Like only forty eight years old? This,

76
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:45.720
I can't, like, I cannot live exhausted like this any longer.

77
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:48.279
So I remember saying a simple prayer and it was

78
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.240
just God, I want to I just want to feel better.

79
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.000
I just want to feel better, because at that point

80
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.079
in my life's journey, I had been yo yo dieting

81
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.720
for thirty years, and I never thought that I'd be

82
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:03.560
ever be able to lose weight and keep it off

83
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:06.600
because I'd never been able to maintain a weight loss,

84
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:10.000
so I just wanted to feel better. I didn't want

85
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:12.079
to have to sit down and sit on the sidelines

86
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:16.120
of life any longer. So I call that my turning

87
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:19.839
point moment, my no Plan B moment. I was determined

88
00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:22.240
to go home from that trip and take ownership of

89
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:22.759
my health.

90
00:05:23.639 --> 00:05:24.959
I want to know how you did it.

91
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.680
Yeah, I really do. Yeah.

92
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:30.560
So one of the first things I did when I

93
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.879
got home from that trip, and I told my husband

94
00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:35.240
still while we were on the trip, I told him,

95
00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.839
when I get home, I will make an appointment for

96
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.319
a sleep study. And I had been putting that off

97
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:46.160
for probably ten years that I had been chronically snoring,

98
00:05:46.639 --> 00:05:49.079
keeping us both awake at night, and it got really

99
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.279
bad in the mountain altitude too, So I did that.

100
00:05:52.360 --> 00:05:53.480
Monday morning. I called.

101
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.079
I said, give me the first available appointment. I don't

102
00:05:56.160 --> 00:05:59.319
want to chicken out on it because I knew I

103
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.079
would be coming home with a seapap machine, because I

104
00:06:02.160 --> 00:06:05.879
knew my diagnosis would be obstructive sleep apnea, and I

105
00:06:05.959 --> 00:06:08.279
just didn't want to do that. It sounded so uncomfortable

106
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.759
to me, but sure enough, I did come home with

107
00:06:10.800 --> 00:06:14.240
a seapap and that was the very first medical intervention

108
00:06:14.480 --> 00:06:17.439
that I took that I'm so grateful for that I

109
00:06:17.480 --> 00:06:20.439
finally found the resolve to do it, to do something

110
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.199
I'd been putting off for so long because part of

111
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.480
a health journey that was super important to me and

112
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:28.399
to all the women that I coach.

113
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:29.399
I see that as well too.

114
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.800
I really encourage them they need to consider their sleep

115
00:06:32.839 --> 00:06:36.319
hygiene as well. So when I started sleeping better, I

116
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:40.040
started waking up more refreshed, and then I was able

117
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.120
to just start tackling things one by one. And shortly

118
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:48.240
after that obstructive sleep apnea diagnosis, I also started having

119
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:52.680
painful ovarian cyst and my doctor ordered an ultrasound for me,

120
00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:55.319
and it was discovered during my ultrasound that I had

121
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:59.800
fatty liver disease. So the combination of all those three

122
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.120
things happening with like in a six to eight week

123
00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:08.480
time period really even strengthened my resolve to continue taking

124
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:11.680
ownership of my health. And the fatty liver disease is

125
00:07:11.720 --> 00:07:14.560
what really sparked my interest and got me on the

126
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:18.759
path to this sugar freed lifestyle because I learned that

127
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:21.720
my liver was full of fat because of the standard

128
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:24.639
American diet that I was eating, which was higher in

129
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:27.720
sugar than when I eat now, like not just sugar

130
00:07:27.759 --> 00:07:31.000
the sweet stuff, but sugar in the form of the

131
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:35.000
carbohydrates from pasta and from bread and potato and things

132
00:07:35.040 --> 00:07:39.600
like that. So that keen interest that I had in

133
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:44.000
the fatty liver taught me that my weight problems, my

134
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:47.920
obesity problems, were all about my hormonal health, and that

135
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.040
sugar is a major hormone disruptor, and I needed to

136
00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:54.399
learn things like I got to balance my blood sugar

137
00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:57.079
so that my insulin hormone would be balanced. And when

138
00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:00.519
my insulin hormone got healthy, that's really As I started

139
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.680
getting my insulin hormone healthy, that's really when the weight

140
00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:06.399
loss magic started happening. And adopting a low carb lifestyle

141
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.240
is when the weight started just falling off.

142
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.319
I would love for you to talk to us about

143
00:08:12.759 --> 00:08:17.040
the sugar freed method and really what sugar does to

144
00:08:17.160 --> 00:08:17.920
our bodies.

145
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:21.560
Yes, when I learned all of this about sugar, I

146
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.639
was really blown away because I had been I had

147
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:30.279
been adhering to dietary advice like everything in moderation and

148
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:33.159
eat less and move more. So all of those years,

149
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:35.639
like I had been doing other programs where I would

150
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.600
count my points or count my calories, but some of

151
00:08:38.639 --> 00:08:41.159
those foods I was still eating were still high in

152
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:45.399
sugar or high in carbohydrates, and someone like me, my

153
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.679
metabolic function was not good. And normally when you see

154
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:52.679
people that have fatty liver disease or are carrying around

155
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.519
a lot of obesity, they really need to focus in

156
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.080
on their metabolic health. So the sugar free me method

157
00:08:59.159 --> 00:09:02.720
is simply the easiest way to explain. It is to

158
00:09:02.759 --> 00:09:06.279
get your blood sugars in balance. And you when I

159
00:09:06.360 --> 00:09:09.919
was eating a diet higher in carbohydrates, for example, when

160
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:12.600
I was still working in corporate America, I would go

161
00:09:12.679 --> 00:09:14.879
out and have lunch with my friends and it might

162
00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.039
have been a sub sandwich, or it might have been,

163
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.240
you know, a pasta dish or something. It was higher

164
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.399
in carbohydrates. And do you know how in the middle

165
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.559
of the afternoon you feel this crash. It's like, oh,

166
00:09:25.600 --> 00:09:27.200
I just really feel like I could take a nap

167
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:30.519
right now. And that's your blood sugar crashing. That's you know,

168
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.600
after you eat a meal that's higher in sugar, higher

169
00:09:33.639 --> 00:09:35.919
in carbohydrates, your blood sugar is going to spike up,

170
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.279
and then when it crashes, that's when your body's saying, hey,

171
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:43.200
I need some more attention. So for many, many years

172
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:47.240
I lived as a sugar burner because I was responding

173
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:49.720
to those sugar crashes and just trying to keep my

174
00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:54.200
energy up with a diet higher in carbohydrates. But now,

175
00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:57.559
what I learned through this journey is as I began

176
00:09:57.600 --> 00:10:00.759
to lower the amount of carbohydrates I was eating daily,

177
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:05.320
my blood sugar stabilized and my insulin hormone began healing.

178
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.440
And insulin is your fat storing hormone. So when I

179
00:10:08.559 --> 00:10:11.360
learned that that was like, that was like the key

180
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.159
that I needed to, you know, to find finally find

181
00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:18.799
success in a weight loss journey and also in maintaining

182
00:10:18.799 --> 00:10:20.000
a weight loss for life.

183
00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:22.559
I one hundred percent believe that this is the way

184
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:23.960
that I'm going to live for life.

185
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.320
I really monitor the sugar that I eat in the

186
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:31.600
form of white sugar, sweet sugars, and also you know,

187
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:34.440
potato chips, tortilla chips, things like that. I know that

188
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:37.679
they were harmful to my health, and so abstaining from

189
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.399
them is really working for me. And let me tell

190
00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:44.240
you that it is. It is truly possible to break

191
00:10:44.320 --> 00:10:47.159
up with sugar and bustle sugar cravings because the less

192
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.639
of that that you eat, you know, that will really

193
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.440
relieve the cravings. And I don't really miss eating foods

194
00:10:53.519 --> 00:10:56.000
like that that were destroying my metabolism.

195
00:10:57.000 --> 00:11:00.000
You know, it's interesting to me because people are under

196
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.759
that misnomer diet soda.

197
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:03.919
Hmm.

198
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:07.600
That's one of the first things to me that just

199
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:13.080
I see people chugging their sugar free diet sodas, thinking

200
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:18.559
oh myne so yeah right, yeah, and I don't eat

201
00:11:18.679 --> 00:11:21.519
you break it to them, Christine, That's okay. I will.

202
00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:25.360
This is something I ask my coaching clients all the time.

203
00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:28.120
If they were to look at the ingredient label, what

204
00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:30.919
is the nutritional benefit of diet soda.

205
00:11:31.399 --> 00:11:32.600
It's pure chemicals.

206
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.200
There is no nutritional benefit in that. And now, as

207
00:11:36.200 --> 00:11:39.360
we're focusing on our health and this healing journey, we

208
00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:44.159
want to choose nutrient rich foods. And also it's been

209
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:49.320
proven that diet soda triggers sugar cravings too. I mean,

210
00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:53.279
it really keeps those cravings alive in your mind. And

211
00:11:53.320 --> 00:11:56.240
the goal of the Sugar Freed Me method is to

212
00:11:56.360 --> 00:11:59.799
quiet those cravings so that when we are cute or

213
00:12:00.039 --> 00:12:03.559
triggered emotionally, and so many of us want to cope

214
00:12:03.639 --> 00:12:06.200
with food, you know when we are triggered emotionally too.

215
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:11.600
But the we quieting those sugar cravings are something that

216
00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:13.759
are really going to help you step into the freedom.

217
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:15.879
And that's what the freed part is in the sugar

218
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:16.639
freed method.

219
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.840
It's interesting to me because I am not I'm not

220
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:23.600
a soda drinker. I'd rather drink water. I love to

221
00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.840
drink tea. I've never had a cup of coffee. I

222
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.360
don't use sugar. I don't use honey in my tea.

223
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.480
I don't you know, once in a blue mood, if

224
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.480
I'm drinking a Chay tea i wanted a little sweet,

225
00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:37.840
I'll use a tea school honey. But I'm not a

226
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:40.679
big sugar person. I love to bake. I give it away.

227
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.840
But that being said, when I do want to enjoy something,

228
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:49.600
I want to enjoy it. So how do you balance this, Christine?

229
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:54.159
Well, fortunately, there are so many wonderful creative recipe craters

230
00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.360
out there that will use sugar substitutes like stevia and erythratol,

231
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.879
and you can find all kinds of life carb desserts.

232
00:13:00.879 --> 00:13:03.279
If you go on Pinterest or go on.

233
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.720
Google, you know to look so there is a way

234
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:10.440
to have that sweet satisfaction. And I don't. I don't

235
00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:12.720
do a whole lot of baking. I never really did.

236
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:16.639
My source of sugar preference was like the potato chips

237
00:13:17.159 --> 00:13:19.399
or the potatoes and the French vice things.

238
00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:20.440
Like that that are and bread.

239
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:24.440
I used to really fill up on bread, and knowing

240
00:13:24.519 --> 00:13:26.960
then when I learned that that was really damaging my

241
00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:31.799
metabolic health because I was insulin resistant. And it sounds

242
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:35.159
like you might be someone that not everybody is insulin resistant,

243
00:13:35.240 --> 00:13:38.320
but if your doctor has told you you're insulin resistant

244
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:42.320
or you have metabolic syndrome, then you are very sensitive

245
00:13:42.440 --> 00:13:45.879
to these blood sugar swings and the insulin hormone being

246
00:13:45.879 --> 00:13:48.360
the fat storing hormone, and there is a way to

247
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:51.399
heal that. And when you see people carrying around a

248
00:13:51.399 --> 00:13:54.879
lot of obesity and you know, morbidly obese, most likely

249
00:13:54.919 --> 00:13:57.480
their doctor has told them they're insulin resistant, so to

250
00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.919
heal the hormone insulin to get it in a healthy state,

251
00:14:01.080 --> 00:14:05.360
to lower the blood marker reading really abstaining and lowering

252
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:08.559
the amount of carbohydrates you're eating on a daily basis

253
00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:10.879
can really help heal and reverse a lot of those

254
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:14.440
chronic diseases which I ended up reversing my pre diabetes.

255
00:14:14.480 --> 00:14:18.519
I reversed my obstructural sleep appening, I reversed my fatty

256
00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:22.440
liver disease, and I reversed my morbid obesity. And I

257
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:25.440
did that by the choices and the food that I make.

258
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:30.399
On that note, think of what Christine is saying here. Please,

259
00:14:30.960 --> 00:14:33.559
we're going to take a quick break, say thank you

260
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.639
to our sponsors, and we'll be back here in just

261
00:14:36.759 --> 00:14:40.039

267
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:04.279
In two thousand and seventeen, Unsilenced Voices was formed to

268
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:09.720
help survivors of domestic abuse and gender based violence worldwide.

269
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:16.360
The organization currently serves Siri Leone, Rwanda, Ghana, and the USA.

270
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.759
In twenty twenty two, Unsilenced Voices gifted over thirty three

271
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:25.200
thousand dollars to survivors. In the USA and in Siri Leone,

272
00:15:25.320 --> 00:15:28.519
there are over twenty six young girls who have been

273
00:15:28.639 --> 00:15:33.120
rescued from sex trafficking and domestic abuse and now going

274
00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:36.919
through vocational training school in order to better their lives.

275
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.519
We need your help. Donations are critical in order for

276
00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:45.679
us to continue our work. We also need volunteers to

277
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:52.039
help with research and development. Please visit Unsilenced Voices dot

278
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:53.799
org for more information.

279
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.799
And we're back here with Christine Trimp. We are talking

280
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:05.519
about the sugar freed mema and really the epidemic in

281
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.480
our country, and I want to switch over to childhood

282
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:13.799
obesity because that is so frightening to me, and it

283
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:19.519
is such a learned behavior. So often it is very

284
00:16:19.639 --> 00:16:24.200
rare that you see a healthy weighted family, I'll say

285
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.919
it that way, right, an obese child, right?

286
00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:28.759
Yeah?

287
00:16:28.919 --> 00:16:31.399
How do we deal with this? Because there is what

288
00:16:31.480 --> 00:16:35.080
are the different contributing factors to most of this?

289
00:16:35.240 --> 00:16:40.120
Christine, Well, I do think that obviously we have an

290
00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:42.240
obesity epidemic in this country right now.

291
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:43.320
And not to.

292
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:46.600
Sound like a huge conspiracy theorist, I'm not, but our

293
00:16:46.639 --> 00:16:50.639
food environment has only gotten worse since the you know,

294
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:55.120
I'm fifty eight now, so and I did go through

295
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:58.000
some periods of chubbiness when I was a child, So

296
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:01.759
I think that metabolically I was, you know, very susceptible

297
00:17:01.879 --> 00:17:05.400
to being morbidly obese. It is not all genetics. I

298
00:17:05.440 --> 00:17:08.119
don't believe that either. I do one hundred percent believe

299
00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:12.519
it's the food environment. So I look at like school lunches,

300
00:17:12.559 --> 00:17:14.839
for example, now and I see I kind of cringe.

301
00:17:14.880 --> 00:17:17.279
I'm like, oh, my goodness, now that I know what

302
00:17:17.359 --> 00:17:20.799
I know. If we could remove, you know, the bags

303
00:17:20.799 --> 00:17:23.799
of potato chips and the chocolate chip cookies and things

304
00:17:23.839 --> 00:17:26.920
like that and have them as a treat occasionally for kids,

305
00:17:27.000 --> 00:17:29.680
most kids can handle that. But yes, we definitely need

306
00:17:29.720 --> 00:17:33.680
to do better. And I'm very excited about the attention

307
00:17:33.839 --> 00:17:36.920
that metabolic health is beginning to get in our country.

308
00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.839
You know, we're talking about removing the dice from food,

309
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:43.039
and we're talking about changing school lunches and things like that.

310
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:45.799
So I do believe that I have hope. I have

311
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.559
a lot of hope because there's a lot of awesome

312
00:17:49.039 --> 00:17:52.480
stories of people just like me that have been able

313
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:56.039
to turn their health around for the better by choosing

314
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.279
whole nutritious foods. I say that if I call it

315
00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:01.799
from God's goods, smart is bored. If God created it,

316
00:18:01.799 --> 00:18:03.839
it doesn't need an ingredient label.

317
00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:05.720
And that's typically.

318
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:07.160
What I choose to put in my mouth and how

319
00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:08.480
I keep my body healthy.

320
00:18:09.759 --> 00:18:12.359
Well, on that note, what are some of the healthy alternatives,

321
00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:16.160
especially for our kids? And yeah, we're in healthy habits.

322
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.960
We're all the healthy habits. Show that you write still

323
00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.920
in them. That is going to impact future generations.

324
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.000
Right, And oh, I wish I could have a do

325
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.000
over with my own kids. Believe me, because I can

326
00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.200
remember going up and down every aisle of the grocery

327
00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:33.000
store and grabbing the things like the fruit snacks and

328
00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:35.920
the hostess ho hose, you know, things like that to

329
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.759
pack in their lunches. But now, my best tip that

330
00:18:38.799 --> 00:18:42.599
I love to give for my young moms raising kids too,

331
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.920
obviously start them early with whole and wholesome foods.

332
00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:48.079
And I would I would not.

333
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.240
Be giving my kids this sugar laden fruit snacks and

334
00:18:51.279 --> 00:18:53.799
things like that factory processed.

335
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:56.440
You know, it's not real fruit. It was pure chemicals.

336
00:18:56.480 --> 00:18:57.200
What I was given my.

337
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.839
Kids shopping the perimeter of the grocery restore and choosing

338
00:19:01.960 --> 00:19:06.119
foods from those sections like your meat and your dairy,

339
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.440
and your fish, and your fresh fruits and veggies. That

340
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:14.039
is like the most wholesome, nutrient rich foods that we

341
00:19:14.119 --> 00:19:16.400
can eat too for our health. I think that they

342
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:18.920
would grow stronger and healthier.

343
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:22.079
Well, I'm going to share a story with you my kids.

344
00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:23.920
I was a single mom since my kids were six,

345
00:19:24.039 --> 00:19:27.359
four and two. Oh wow, So they were now four,

346
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.960
six and eight. And it was a Wednesday, so that

347
00:19:31.160 --> 00:19:32.960
was just snack day because Daddy was going to come

348
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:34.440
down and pick him up. He only lived a half

349
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:38.559
a mile away. You were very successfully divorced. And my

350
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.480
friend Mary Allen was visiting and brought a thing of malamars.

351
00:19:43.359 --> 00:19:45.400
So she's having a cup of tea in malamars. I'm

352
00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:46.960
having a cup of tea and I have some little

353
00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.279
mini carrots. Now I'm eating some veggies. And the kids

354
00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:54.000
come home from school. The bus stop was literally across

355
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:56.279
the street from our house, just at the small little

356
00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:58.640
one way street. So we income the three of them

357
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:01.960
and they're all excited and what's our snack day today?

358
00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:05.039
And I said, well, Mary Ellen brought malamars, and they

359
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.480
were like, what is that? I said, Oh, it's a

360
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.839
cookie with marshmallows and chocolate. It's delicious. And they said

361
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.079
what else. I said, well, you know, baby carrots. All

362
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.480
three of them picked the baby carrots and Marie Bullen

363
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.160
was like, what have you done of these kids? And

364
00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:21.279
I said, but Mary Ellen, I'm the one who's eating

365
00:20:21.319 --> 00:20:24.559
baby carrots too. And here's the thing. I was the

366
00:20:24.680 --> 00:20:28.519
veggies and dip mom. I made hummus from scratch. And

367
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.720
so now I have adult kids and grandchildren. And my

368
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.519
grandson was so funny. I fresh squeezed orange juice. We

369
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:38.559
were at my friend's house two and a half. Takes

370
00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:42.079
a sip and goes, oh, this helps keep me hydrated.

371
00:20:42.359 --> 00:20:45.880
My friends almost fell off the chair. It was so funny.

372
00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:50.640
But it really is amazing when you teach your kids.

373
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.480
As soon as they had teeth. I would pull the

374
00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.480
strings off of celery skin the back of it so

375
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.880
it wouldn't get caught, and sliver celery and carrots, sticks

376
00:21:00.519 --> 00:21:03.960
and everything else. Since they were little, they are going

377
00:21:04.039 --> 00:21:06.480
to learn whatever you're going to give them to learn.

378
00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:08.000
Ye, yeah, you know what.

379
00:21:08.799 --> 00:21:12.119
I had chips in my house. I ate stuff. I

380
00:21:12.279 --> 00:21:14.799
wasn't that mom that you wouldn't let them eat anything,

381
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:17.160
but you know, they'd come in, Oh, Mom, we're out

382
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:19.599
of salsa, and I'd throw a couple of fresh tomatoes

383
00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:22.400
and some stuff in my food processor and go here

384
00:21:22.440 --> 00:21:25.960
you go. So I made my own things. I was

385
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.240
always that mom. And when my kids went started eating

386
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.720
at friends' houses, they opened up a jar of sauce

387
00:21:32.759 --> 00:21:34.960
and took something out of the freezer and I looked

388
00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:36.599
at them. I said, what do you think everybody cooks

389
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.640
like your mother? And they were shocked that they didn't.

390
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.559
They thought everybody's mom was like this, and I do.

391
00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.319
I think it's really important because we model for our

392
00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.559
children all these different things. I would love for you

393
00:21:52.759 --> 00:21:57.960
to talk about your book, Sugar Freed, because this method

394
00:21:58.599 --> 00:22:00.000
is something that people need to Understan.

395
00:22:01.359 --> 00:22:04.960
Yeah, it is something that it's definitely written for faith

396
00:22:05.000 --> 00:22:09.440
based women. My faith was very instrumental in my journey

397
00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:13.079
because what I discovered is I was dealing with my

398
00:22:13.079 --> 00:22:16.640
food struggles and really examining what I had been doing

399
00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:20.200
all those years that I was a food addict.

400
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:21.839
I was a sugar addict.

401
00:22:21.559 --> 00:22:26.480
Like I was coping, I was constantly craving, and I

402
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:30.200
was I talk a lot about secret eating, and you know,

403
00:22:30.279 --> 00:22:32.200
I was just carrying around a lot of guilt and

404
00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.920
shame about my food behaviors, you know. And then I

405
00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:38.720
would try for short periods of another program, but because

406
00:22:38.799 --> 00:22:42.880
I was still doing everything in moderation, that was like

407
00:22:43.519 --> 00:22:46.680
continuing to trigger the sugar craving. So what you know,

408
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.480
getting off of sugar was really the key to what

409
00:22:49.839 --> 00:22:53.119
set me free. And so I see all the women

410
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.279
that I work with, they I have very similar stories

411
00:22:56.279 --> 00:22:59.079
to mine. I'm very blessed in privileged to be able

412
00:22:59.079 --> 00:23:01.920
to coach people that are just like you know, just

413
00:23:02.039 --> 00:23:03.400
like me, because that makes it.

414
00:23:03.319 --> 00:23:04.119
A lot easier.

415
00:23:04.960 --> 00:23:08.359
But I have the book broken down into four sections

416
00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:11.240
purposely because first of all, the first section is called

417
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:13.839
Resolve it we have to figure out and get to

418
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.960
the point like I was on the side of that mountain,

419
00:23:16.400 --> 00:23:18.759
like I have to do something about this. I can't

420
00:23:18.799 --> 00:23:21.480
continue to go on living like this. So we have

421
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:24.319
to have that resolve to really take ownership of our health.

422
00:23:24.759 --> 00:23:27.319
And then the next section is called Restoring your Body,

423
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:29.720
and that's where I give the practical information like what

424
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.599
does this look like, what are we going to eat?

425
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:33.240
When are we going to eat, when are we not

426
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:36.039
going to eat? And you know the choices that we

427
00:23:36.079 --> 00:23:38.559
make to nourish our body every day. And then the

428
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:41.640
next section is about.

429
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:42.559
Renewing your mind.

430
00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:47.000
This really the most difficult part of this journey for me,

431
00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:50.279
and I warn my coaching clients too, is the emotional health.

432
00:23:50.400 --> 00:23:54.119
The emotional aspect because again, most of us are that

433
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.480
I have, that I work with and people that read

434
00:23:56.480 --> 00:23:59.160
my book, you know, we do cope with food a lot,

435
00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.599
and it's very common. It's not something we like to

436
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:05.240
talk about, but it's very common. And then the fourth

437
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:08.000
and final section of the book is redeeming your spiritual walk.

438
00:24:08.119 --> 00:24:11.599
And this really was a spiritual journey for me because

439
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:16.000
I had neglected my faith and my spiritual growth. I

440
00:24:16.039 --> 00:24:18.920
was very spiritually immature for so many years.

441
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:20.839
And this is really what changed my life.

442
00:24:20.920 --> 00:24:25.119
Is like when I began to look into God's word

443
00:24:25.240 --> 00:24:27.480
on how he was calling me as a believer to

444
00:24:27.519 --> 00:24:30.599
care for my health. I never thought that there was

445
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:33.920
good guidance. I never thought to really look there for that,

446
00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:37.240
but I found it. And truly that's what changed my

447
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.240
life and is changing the lives of the women.

448
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:42.519
That I have the privilege to coach. That the book

449
00:24:42.559 --> 00:24:42.960
is set.

450
00:24:42.880 --> 00:24:46.839
Up, what a great way to wrap up this conversation, Christine,

451
00:24:46.920 --> 00:24:49.400
what would you like to leave our listeners with and

452
00:24:49.480 --> 00:24:51.000
how many they reach out to you?

453
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.240
Yeah, I would just like to leave them with considering

454
00:24:55.279 --> 00:24:59.240
the cravings. Like I realized that all of those years

455
00:24:59.240 --> 00:25:02.039
that I struggle with my weight, that I was craving

456
00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:05.319
all the wrong things and not just craving food. I

457
00:25:05.400 --> 00:25:08.640
was just craving some way to fill all the holes

458
00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:11.279
in my soul that I was feeling, you know, empty

459
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:15.960
and shameful and guilt because of my health struggles. So

460
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:19.759
if we can identify what we are truly are craving

461
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:22.920
and go on this difficult journey, it is one of

462
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.359
the hardest things you would ever do, but is one

463
00:25:25.400 --> 00:25:30.039
of the most worthwhile things to flip your cravings so

464
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:33.119
that you can stop craving the sugar and just start craving.

465
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:36.079
I say, now I crave joy. It's like I just

466
00:25:36.279 --> 00:25:37.839
crave the joy in living.

467
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.200
And that's what my book's all about.

468
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:42.880
That's what I guide women through in my coaching program.

469
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:48.319
So it really does come all down to what we're craving.

470
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:51.640
And that's really a deep, deep question to consider and

471
00:25:51.680 --> 00:25:52.160
think about.

472
00:25:52.680 --> 00:25:55.720
It really is how can people find you Christine.

473
00:25:55.960 --> 00:25:58.200
They can find me on my website, which is just

474
00:25:58.319 --> 00:26:03.240
my name, Christine. There's a page there about my book,

475
00:26:03.400 --> 00:26:06.839
Sugar Freed. The subtitle is called stop Losing the Weightless Battle,

476
00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:09.720
Start Gaining the Victory. And there's also a whole page

477
00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.839
there about my program, which is also called the Sugar

478
00:26:12.839 --> 00:26:15.880
Freed Be Weightless Solution. So the book and the coaching

479
00:26:15.920 --> 00:26:17.160
program work hand in hand.

480
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:20.680
All of Christine's links are going to be live. Trimp

481
00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:26.480
is spelled t r impe. So I encourage you reach

482
00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:31.960
out because so many of us are dealing with the

483
00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:35.799
yo yo life of weight coming on and coming off.

484
00:26:35.920 --> 00:26:39.920
So take a look, take a read, and take off

485
00:26:39.960 --> 00:26:43.160
some weight because you'd really do. I like the idea

486
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:46.319
that you crave joy. So Christine, thank you so much
