Shownotes
In this episode of the You World Order Showcase podcast, Jill Hart interviews Dr. Ailina Ismail, a functional medicine doctor focused on helping ambitious women combat fatigue, chronic pain, and brain fog. Dr. Ailina shares her insights into the differences between conventional and functional medicine, the critical importance of nutrient balance, and why patients should advocate for their health.
The Road to Functional Medicine
Dr. Ailina’s journey into functional medicine began with her own family. As a mother of three, including two children on the autism spectrum, she faced challenges conventional medicine couldn’t resolve. This led her to explore functional medicine as a way to address the root causes of health issues rather than merely managing symptoms. She emphasizes that while conventional medicine is essential for acute issues, it often falls short in dealing with chronic conditions that benefit from a more holistic approach.
Key Differences Between Conventional and Functional Medicine
Conventional medicine often operates on a “pill for an ill” philosophy, focusing on symptom relief rather than exploring underlying causes. Dr. Ailina describes how functional medicine looks beyond immediate symptoms, addressing factors like diet, sleep, and stress to treat conditions more comprehensively. She uses diabetes as an example: rather than simply prescribing medication to lower blood sugar, functional medicine seeks to understand lifestyle factors that contribute to the condition.
Addressing Common Health Concerns: Fatigue, Pain, and Brain Fog
Dr. Ailina specializes in treating women who struggle with persistent fatigue, chronic pain, and brain fog. According to her, these symptoms are commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed, often attributed to lifestyle choices without deeper investigation. She explains the concept of “nutrient debt” and the importance of checking levels of essential nutrients like zinc, magnesium, vitamin D, and B12. In her practice, she interprets blood tests from a functional perspective, offering insights that conventional practitioners may overlook.
Understanding Root Causes of Fatigue
Fatigue isn’t always a straightforward issue. Dr. Ailina encourages patients to think of fatigue as a symptom with multiple layers. These layers can range from sleep quality to physical, mental, and emotional stress. By examining the “pyramid of dysfunction,” she identifies how seemingly unrelated issues, such as poor gut health or unresolved trauma, contribute to fatigue. Additionally, she discusses the connection between mental fatigue and the impact of constant, low-level stress on overall wellness.
The Role of Gut Health in Functional Medicine
One of Dr. Ailina’s main focuses is gut health, especially in the context of brain health and overall wellness. She highlights the gut-brain connection, noting that the vagus nerve is a vital link in this relationship. In her experience, improving gut health can lead to significant mental and physical health improvements. This is particularly important for individuals on the autism spectrum, as gut health can profoundly impact brain function.
Utilizing Food as Medicine
In her practice, Dr. Ailina advocates for using food as a primary tool for healing. Instead of relying solely on supplements, she encourages her patients to focus on nutrient-dense foods. She explains the value of a “rainbow diet,” which includes colorful fruits and vegetables that provide a broad spectrum of nutrients. For example, she suggests magnesium-rich foods like dark chocolate and pumpkin seeds as natural alternatives to supplements, noting that whole foods often contain complementary compounds that aid in absorption.
The Benefits of Magnesium and Transdermal Absorption
Magnesium is one of the essential nutrients Dr. Ailina recommends, especially for patients experiencing sleep problems, anxiety, or muscle pain. However, not all forms of magnesium are equally beneficial, and she advises using magnesium glycinate or citrate for better absorption. She also discusses the debate over transdermal absorption (absorbing magnesium through the skin) and encourages patients to try both topical and oral methods to see which works best.
The Power of Simple Lifestyle Changes
One of Dr. Ailina’s top recommendations is to focus on small, manageable lifestyle changes. By incorporating regular movement, practicing mindful breathing, and maintaining good sleep hygiene, her patients can gradually improve their health. She explains the power of the “4-4-4” breathing technique as a tool to activate the vagus nerve, which helps shift the body from a stress state to a rest-and-digest mode. This simple technique can significantly reduce stress levels and improve mental clarity.
Customized Online Health Program for Long-Term Support
Recognizing the importance of accountability, Dr. Ailina offers a 12-week online program to support patients in their health journeys. This program includes weekly check-ins, personalized assessments, and a supportive community where patients can learn and grow together. By providing consistent, accessible guidance, Dr. Ailina ensures her clients receive ongoing support, which is crucial for sustainable health improvements.
Patient Advocacy and Empowerment in Health Care
Dr. Ailina stresses the importance of advocating for one’s own health. She encourages her patients to ask questions, understand why specific treatments are prescribed, and seek second opinions when necessary. She believes that a proactive approach to health care can lead to better outcomes, especially when dealing with chronic conditions where patients are often overlooked in the traditional medical system.
Conclusion
Dr. Ailina Ismail’s holistic approach to health through functional medicine provides a valuable alternative for those struggling with chronic conditions. By addressing the root causes and using a combination of lifestyle adjustments, nutrient optimization, and patient empowerment, she enables her patients to achieve a higher quality of life. Her philosophy of “root cause wellness” reminds us that true health is about more than just symptom management; it’s about creating a balanced, vibrant life.

Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Hi and welcome to the You world order showcase. Podcast I'm your host, Jill Hart. And with us today is Eileen Ismail. She is a functional doctor who helps busy and ambitious women in their twenties to their fifties, discover the root causes of their fatigue, chronic pain, and brain fog, and helps them to overcome
2
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: these issues for good, so that they can show up in their lives workplace and at home with more energy, vitality, and mental clarity. Welcome to the show, Eileen. It's really nice to have you here.
3
::Ailina: Hi, Jill, thanks. Thank you for having me on this. Podcast we are sure it's
4
::Ailina: I'm very grateful to be here.
5
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oh, well, it's really great to have you here, and
6
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: well, just for the listener's sake, this is, take 2. We were having some technical difficulties. Zoom decided to just change the way they're doing stuff. And Elena was having trouble deciding which device she was, gonna be on.
7
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and to be able to hear and talk.
8
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: but we're.
9
::Ailina: But we're here.
10
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah.
11
::Ailina: Yes.
12
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So.
13
::Ailina: All good.
14
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So we're gonna make her tell her story again.
15
::Ailina: Sure. Why not? So how did I get into functional medicine? Right? So basically.
16
::Ailina: I have 2 kids. I have 3 children. 2 are on the spectrum, and as I was saying, my need, my
17
::Ailina: son in the who's in the middle, he's neurotypical, but he's got the middle child syndrome, and he gives me more grief than the other 2. So my eldest is now 25. She's on the spectrum. She's got intellectual disability, and my son, my younger son could not speak
18
::Ailina: when he was 4 years old. Now he's got verbal diarrhea.
19
::Ailina: so
20
::Ailina: that's why we call it. It's on the spectrum, because everyone presents differently.
21
::Ailina: And when I did medical school in the nineties that makes me sound old, we never talked about autism, so I had to do my own research, and I found that conventional medicine didn't give me the answers that I wanted.
22
::Ailina: So don't get me wrong. Convention medicine is.
23
::Ailina: it's important. I still practice it.
24
::Ailina: So it's like, if you've got a heart attack or heart failure, you need drugs and that you're gonna die right. But
25
::Ailina: what we forget to do is sometimes conventional medicine for chronic illnesses.
26
::Ailina: everything. It's a pill for an ill
27
::Ailina: say, you've got diabetes and your sugar's high. Your doctor gives you a script for
28
::Ailina: a medication that brings your sugar down. If the medication, if your sugar is not well controlled, he gives you another drop, and so on, and then some people develop side effects from the drop. So that's all and good at the start, when we need to bring down your sugar.
29
::Ailina: Well, because in the long term. High sugar does cause a lot of problems. But we are not looking at the root cause of diabetes. For example, when we should pay more attention to your sleep, your stress, your relationships with other people.
30
::Ailina: movement, exercise, and movement and nutrition. So that's where functional medicine differs a bit in terms of chronic illnesses. It was the same with
31
::Ailina: being on the spectrum. So we know autism is multifactorial. But that's how I started learning from Bill wash from the
32
::Ailina: Walsh Institute, and then now with the Institute of Functional Medicine. How
33
::Ailina: we look at root causes the gut and the brain connection, the environmental toxicans, and how we detox it from my body and so on. So that's the difference between conventional and functional medicine.
34
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Can relate to that so much, and
35
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I think conventional medicine really does have its place in emergency medicine.
36
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I you know there's nobody I would rather have than a doctor if I got in a car accident, or
37
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: had some traumatic injury to my body.
38
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: or even, you know, some traumatic reaction from organs in my body, that
39
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: what tends to happen. What I've seen happen is that people go to the doctor, and they want the doctor to solve a problem for them that they're having. They don't want to do anything themselves. They don't want to take responsibility for what got them to that point and stop doing that action
40
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: so that
41
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: they can get away from these. They're really
42
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I think that they were
43
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: originally designed to be
44
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to keep you from having critical problems like, you know, you're talking about lowering your blood sugars. You can't just put somebody on a medication and then expect that everything's going to go fine. You don't ever go back to the doctor, or you go to a different doctor who doesn't understand what happened in the 1st place, and he puts you on something else. So we see that a lot with the elderly
45
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: yeah, and and it's
46
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: dangerous.
47
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And people don't take responsibility for
48
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: their lifestyles.
49
::Ailina: Yeah.
50
::Ailina: you should be an advocate for your own health. You should listen to your body and ask questions like.
51
::Ailina: why am I taking this drug. Why is it doing this?
52
::Ailina: And so on?
53
::Ailina: Because, you know, it's your body.
54
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: My dad has a really interesting approach that he takes to medicine. He's 88 now.
55
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and he's he's amazingly in good shape for his lifestyle choices, but he has a doctor that he has on a retainer.
56
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: so which keeps him from having to go to the emergency room, which I think really
57
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: speaks to why, he's been able to live such a good quality of life
58
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: for so long. And it's that, you know, if he has something
59
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: weird happened to him like he had blood in his urine not that long ago, and you know he's had pancreatic or not pancreatic, but bladder cancer. So he was worried that that's maybe what was happening. So he calls this doctor that he has on retainer. And the doctor says, Well, you're going into the urologist in a couple weeks. Go see him
60
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and and see what's happening there. And the urologist said, no cancer, and so he went back to the doctor, and the doctor is like, Well, are you still on that blood thinner that you were on?
61
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And he, my dad says, Yeah.
62
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: he'd fired this doctor
63
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: so
64
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just like, why are you still on this blood thinner and nobody's monitoring it really. So they took him off of that, and
65
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: like night and day, difference for how.
66
::Ailina: Cheers, yeah.
67
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I mean. He was all bruised up and.
68
::Ailina: Oh!
69
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: No more bleeding
70
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: randomly.
71
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: But I
72
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: just it's the case in in my dad's case he could have gone to the emergency room.
73
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yep.
74
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: which is what most people would do if they had that situation present. And then they're they're into a whole different
75
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: circuit of of different things that could be wrong with you, and let's try out all of our medical equipment and and give you a bunch of drugs that you probably don't need rather than just looking at what you're already doing, and seeing if we could adjust that.
76
::Ailina: Yeah.
77
::Ailina: unfortunately. But that's how the system works at the moment. So that's why I say, always advocate for your own health. Ask
78
::Ailina: all this, has questions.
79
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, for sure. So
80
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: well, you talk a lot about fatigue and chronic pain and brain fog and those sorts of things that you help people with. What are the common causes for that
81
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: in your
82
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: experience.
83
::Ailina: There's a lot. But honestly think of simple things first.st it could be
84
::Ailina: in the broad sense. It you look at fatigue in terms of is it sleep? So if you're having enough sleep or not? And what's the quality of sleep? Because some people say, it's I just sleep 8 HA day, not a problem. I'm still tired. Then I said, do you feel well rested after your 8 h of sleep? And then they're like, oh, no, I still feel bad. So the quality of the sleep, and then is the fatigue physical, so is it muscle, fatigue, you know.
85
::Ailina: and one of
86
::Ailina: like, how do you get muscle fatigue from exercising? But could it be other things that's happening? And the last is mental fatigue. So zoom, can you can get zoom, fatigue. You have always on zoom all the time. Excuse me.
87
::Ailina: so there are 3 different types of broad
88
::Ailina: possibilities, root causes of fatigue, and then we go into more detail, and then we look at detail. We look at I call it like the pyramid of dysfunction. We always the second, apart from sleep is stress.
89
::Ailina: So if you've got a lot of stress, it can cause obviously mental fatigue. And sometimes when we have
90
::Ailina: mental
91
::Ailina: health issues. Then it transmits as psychosomatic. Then you get bodily symptoms right. But it all started with stress in your mind. And then, of course, we look at trauma.
92
::Ailina: So trauma's huge transgenerational, adverse childhood events. So all those need to be addressed, if not again mental and physical fatigue. And last.
93
::Ailina: we go a bit deeper in functional. In how I address it is looking at your gut.
94
::Ailina: and more the upper gastrointestinal
95
::Ailina: so from your mouth, right to your stomach looking at acid production because a lot of people are on
96
::Ailina: proton pump inhibitors does prevent production of acid, and acid's important for your stomach to digest protein
97
::Ailina: to kilo
98
::Ailina: bad bacteria before they get in through the lower parts of a gut. And so those are all the basic things that I would look at. Oh, and one more nutrient deficiencies.
99
::Ailina: So vitamin d.
100
::Ailina: I'm not sure but in the Us. But in Australia, in Melbourne, in Victoria, personally, everyone's low in vitamin d. So what happens is
101
::Ailina: when the lapse.
102
::Ailina: for example.
103
::Ailina: measure vitamin d
104
::Ailina: what's their reference range? They're actually basing their reference range. Say they do bloods for a thousand people, and then everyone falls in this bulk of when they charge it on chat.
105
::Ailina: the results on the
106
::Ailina: like a chat. And okay, if 95% of the population falls between
107
::Ailina: the 95% that they test falls between that delta, that must be the normal range. So when everyone's low in vitamin d, then and your levels are that it must be normal. It's not. Then there's optimum levels. So in functional medicine, there's healthy levels. And then there's optimum levels. So the optimum never goes outside of the health range. So we're not working with like
108
::Ailina: acute.
109
::Ailina: dangerous illnesses. But it's more optimized?
110
::Ailina: Does that make sense.
111
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It makes total sense, and and I've heard this before, and it always cracks me up when I get a test done, and the doctor's like, Oh, it's in the normal range. It's like normal for sick people.
112
::Ailina: I know right.
113
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: About optimal ranges. Yeah.
114
::Ailina: So yeah, so that's why, when people come to me and say, I've got fatigue, I say, okay, let's look at your bloods. Oh, my doctor said, it's not, I said, no, let's look at it like I want to have a look, and then I'll interpret it from a functional point of view. Then they're like, Oh, okay, yeah. And then I give them the research. So like, there's fact sheets about how we got to these numbers, because, like in Australia, our
115
::Ailina: our units are different. For yours, for example, again we go back to Vitamin D. Ours is nanomoles per liter
116
::Ailina: off the top of my head. You guys are nanograms per mil. So it's quite different. But in our labs normal is 50. But my function normally is 120.
117
::Ailina: That's huge difference. Right? It's huge. But yeah.
118
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So she's.
119
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know. People don't even think about how much time they spend indoors, even in the summertime, or maybe even especially in the summertime because it's hot outside. So you don't go outside and get in the sun like you're supposed to.
120
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and.
121
::Ailina: And you worry about skin cancer.
122
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, or you slather other chemicals on you that I truly don't believe they're good for you.
123
::Ailina: So the best is try to get up in the sun like, today's a nice day. We're going hopefully, soonish into summer. You guys are going to winter. Get out in the sun 1015, 30 min before 10 Am. Will be the best time when the UV lights not to yeah, cause vitamin D, unfortunately, you can't get it much from food. So it's mostly from the sun.
124
::Ailina: and sun is really good for your cortisol levels like it wakes you up. Yeah, natural sunlight.
125
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: We walk every morning, and it's.
126
::Ailina: A lot of it.
127
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: For that reason it's it's so good for you.
128
::Ailina: Yeah, and walking releases endorphins. You know, you feel good hormones.
129
::Ailina: Yeah.
130
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Then you walk with somebody that you love, and it builds your relationship. If you don't talk.
131
::Ailina: Or listen to some
132
::Ailina: music.
133
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, maybe music would be better.
134
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: My husband likes to sing, though it's got songs for everything.
135
::Ailina: That's so sweet.
136
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It's pretty funny.
137
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So how did how did all this help your kids.
138
::Ailina: Functional medicine.
139
::Ailina: Yeah. So we went back to basics like
140
::Ailina: it was okay, like conventional. Says, Okay, she couldn't write. Go to see a occupational therapist. She couldn't speak. See a speechy what we call here a speech pathologist. That's fine. But then we look at root causes. So I went hardcore when they are small, when they're still kids, and they listen to their moms. It's easier
141
::Ailina: gluten free, dairy free. There's so much research on how
142
::Ailina: in certain people, especially kids on the spectrum or in autoimmune diseases. Gluten and casein and casein is the protein from dairy is one is 2 of the major inflammatory foods for your gut.
143
::Ailina: and we're not going to too much detail because of time. It can cause leaky gut, and then it can, meaning the barrier between your gut wall.
144
::Ailina: within the outside and the inside of your body breaks down. So then you take other things that you would normally not react to. But now, because your gut's leaky, you start reacting to other foods. And then there's such a strong connection between the gut
145
::Ailina: in the brain. Right? So then.
146
::Ailina: because with autism, your brain function starts to decline with time. If you don't address it, we look at the gut because 90% of the time the gut's talking to the brain via our favorite vagus nerve
147
::Ailina: and then 10% is brain to that.
148
::Ailina: So looking at the gut is important. Yes.
149
::Ailina: supplements
150
::Ailina: can help at the start again. So like medication, supplements are good to boost. But if you take supplements forever.
151
::Ailina: then it becomes like another drug, right? So start off with that. And then look at nutrition
152
::Ailina: because we can use nutrition food as medicine. That's the goal
153
::Ailina: functional medicine to look at what we have
154
::Ailina: and of course, looking at organic foods and so on, like we could go into more detail. But yes, use food as medicine rather than
155
::Ailina: supplements cause some people come to me with bags of
156
::Ailina: supplements like, and I'm like, who gave that to you. Then they say they went to this practitioner. I said, Yeah, it's okay. Then I say.
157
::Ailina: does it help you have fatigue? And then they're like.
158
::Ailina: I don't know. I've been taking this for years. I'm like, Okay.
159
::Ailina: in order not to waste money. Let's try coming off it one at a time, and then see if it makes you feel worse, because that's the only way, you know. And then they say, didn't do anything. I said.
160
::Ailina: check it, check it. Let's start again. Let's just go with a basic few. So the basic view would be like
161
::Ailina: looking at zinc, magnesium.
162
::Ailina: B, 12 is important
163
::Ailina: and just seeing. Okay, if we can measure it, let's measure it in your blood, and then we address it.
164
::Ailina: and then, once we are better start getting it from food
165
::Ailina: magnesium. You can get it from chocolate. Not that all chocolate's good, but
166
::Ailina: hey, that chocolate's good
167
::Ailina: pumpkin seeds. So there's a lot of things that we can get from nature if we were looking over for it.
168
::Ailina: But like I didn't learn about it in medical school, I learned it from function medicine. So
169
::Ailina: yeah, you should do like if people are not sure. Have a chat with me. I can
170
::Ailina: direct you to what foods are rich in all these nutrients that our body needs.
171
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And sometimes when you get into supplements, you you mentioned magnesium magnesium is one of those supplements that there's a lot of different
172
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: types of magnesium. Most people don't realize that. And
173
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: in in testing out the different types of magnesium like I,
174
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it can cause you gastrointestinal problems. If you take certain kinds. I mean, that's what it's for. And there are certain kinds that
175
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: your body just can't digest. So you're taking them. But it's not really doing anything for you. In fact, it's probably making the problem worse because it's causing you to drop a lot of water. But, you need magnesium in your body for all the electrical things that go on in your brain and your heart and your muscles and
176
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And really, when you get it in your food.
177
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You're getting all of the other things with it packaged together so that your body can actually assimilate it and use it first.st It's just like I took my magnesium supplement. I'm good to go.
178
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I can eat a whole bag of potato chips now.
179
::Ailina: You're so right because magnesium on its own as a mineral cannot be absorbed by our gut. So it companies have to like attach a salt to it. So magnesium oxide?
180
::Ailina: That's for constipation. So.
181
::Ailina: taking that like, if
182
::Ailina: if we do bloods, and we find oh, your magnesium is low, and then my patient says I'm on magnesium, I said, show me which one, and then, if it's oxide, I'm like you could take 2 or 3, it'll still just make you put more. The magnesium doesn't get absorbed right? One of the 2 best ones would be magnesium, glycinate magnesium citrate would be good
183
::Ailina: peeling it magnesium turn. It's more. It crosses the blood
184
::Ailina: brain barrier. So it's more good for the brain. But yeah, my 3 top things that I think magnesium or I suggest, for people is, if they have
185
::Ailina: sleep issues so mechanisms really good for sleep, anxiety, and muscle. So
186
::Ailina: if I find people. It's more for sleep. Then I say, maybe take it more at night, if it's more anxiety, take it up throughout the day, and if it's for me like when I woke up. I woke up in the morning. So I take it more in the morning. So it's different timings, different doses, different types of salts. And yes, once we get that to optimum level, then just eat more foods with high magnesium like, don't depend on supplements.
187
::Ailina: Yeah.
188
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm with you. What are your thoughts? I'm going to ask you this because I'm curious. I've done a lot of research on it, but I haven't gotten a definitive answer. So I like to ask people who might actually have some science back.
189
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: or or even experientially backed information. But what are your thoughts on like magnesium being absorbed through the skin.
190
::Ailina: There's 2 school of thoughts.
191
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I know.
192
::Ailina: Sounds.
193
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It works, or it doesn't work.
194
::Ailina: And I always give them both options like, yeah. So there's some school of thoughts that swear there's a school of thought that swears by transdermal
195
::Ailina: absorption. So that's when people do
196
::Ailina: Epsom salt baths, magnesium baths, and
197
::Ailina: if you really do it, it does come you down. So is it the temperature of the water, is it? You know that zen of being in water, plus the magnesium?
198
::Ailina: Some people say I've got no time to do, Epsom salt mouth, I said. Even if you're watching TV, just chuck it in a foot basin, put your feet in that 20 min
199
::Ailina: it should work. Then this other school of thought say, not transdermally, no research, no studies. You gotta take it. Everything already.
200
::Ailina: yeah. So I
201
::Ailina: I like to do both like I. And then I tell a bit, because some clients don't like to be in the bath don't like to put their feet in like. Then I said. Just take them
202
::Ailina: orderly. There are creams that you can try.
203
::Ailina: Trust me if I've had muscle cramps.
204
::Ailina: That's the 1st thing I go to a magnesium cream. And it works, I'm like.
205
::Ailina: you know, sometimes, is it just based on studies, or will like experience in real life? So I say to both.
206
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I know my husband. He he uses Epsom salt.
207
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: He has some neuropathy happening in his feet. And it's not. It's they don't know what causes it. It's not diabetes he's he's totally fine. He drove a truck for like a million years, and so
208
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: we think that it might be based on that. Or he also because he was a truck driver, had to take this high blood pressure medicine
209
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: to get his blood pressure down in some
210
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: weird range where mostly he has white coat syndrome, because when we take his blood pressure at home, normally
211
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's fine.
212
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: but because he has to pass this artificial test to get a Cdl
213
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: anyway. So
214
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: one of the side effects is neuropathy on this one kind of medication he was on.
215
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So he ended up getting disability because
216
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: of all these problems. But he soaks his feet at night, and I know that when he soaks his feet at night he sleeps a lot better.
217
::Ailina: See.
218
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah.
219
::Ailina: Placebo effect might play a role. But yeah, it works. So don't
220
::Ailina: don't overthink it. Like, don't just think about studies. But
221
::Ailina: yeah, if it works, use it.
222
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, I I'm I'm with you on that, you know. If you
223
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: should just try it. It's not going to hurt you.
224
::Ailina: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
225
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And and that doesn't really work for everything. But for some things it it really can help you.
226
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So what are your what are your top.
227
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Let's say your top 5 ideas for helping people
228
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: look at what's causing fatigue in their lives.
229
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So.
230
::Ailina: As I said again, so nutrient deficiencies is huge. So if you're in nutrient debt.
231
::Ailina: then obviously I would
232
::Ailina: go see your practitioner if they will do the bloods, or if you want, I can help interpret the bloods for you. But in terms of energy. You look at all the nutrients I talk about the zinc
233
::Ailina: magnesium. B, 12 iron is huge, too, especially in women.
234
::Ailina: Vitamin d.
235
::Ailina: and then look at your sleep. So I is it problems going to sleep?
236
::Ailina: you can fall asleep fine, but it's more staying asleep. So you get out in the middle of night. You go to pee, and then you come back to bed, and you can't go to sleep, so can you initiate, sleep, or maintain sleep, or both, and then address that if there were top 3 tips that I would say
237
::Ailina: easily to, for fatigue is
238
::Ailina: food as medicine. Look at the rainbow colors of your food. So if you could get.
239
::Ailina: It's not easy, but if you could get a whole range of your rainbow colored food
240
::Ailina: in a day.
241
::Ailina: so you know the purple of our eggplant one of the rainbow colors, then blueberries.
242
::Ailina: right.
243
::Ailina: Kametto. Yeah.
244
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Tomatoes.
245
::Ailina: Yeah.
246
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Oranges.
247
::Ailina: Yes.
248
::Ailina: you just have to
249
::Ailina: again advocate for yourself, and when you go and buy stuff at the farmers market, look for all these things. It's it'll just be staring at you in the face, and you might still not see it.
250
::Ailina: And then.
251
::Ailina: being yes, we live in a crazy world. We always have this chronic stress. Some people say they're not overwhelmed. But most people, if you're multitasking.
252
::Ailina: I can be guilty of that, too. And you got a thing of your kids work
253
::Ailina: personal life. Then sometimes it's good just to do this quick tip where you actually
254
::Ailina: put your fingers together. So it's hard. If it's a podcast
255
::Ailina: I've got like a freebie that you can download
256
::Ailina: and then do your breathing. So I use the rule of 4, where you inhale slowly for 4 counts. Hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4, and do it 4 times, because that actually then triggers your vagus nerve. Remember, I said, the vagus nerve is the major nerve where your gut talks your brain so that comes things down so it's the rest and digest compared to your flight and fight.
257
::Ailina: and finally, it's the top 3 again, like the the 3rd one would be moving.
258
::Ailina: So you go walk.
259
::Ailina: let you go for walk with your husband. Some people bring their dogs. Some people can't even get off their couch because
260
::Ailina: get too fatigued.
261
::Ailina: So while we're looking at all the other things that could cause their fatigue.
262
::Ailina: My I just say, maybe just sit in a chair.
263
::Ailina: start stretching, start twisting, just moving your body, or try a daily walk to your post, box and back, and then every day do that, and then keep building on that in terms of frequency in terms of length, of exercise and moving, and then that would be the 1st top. 3 things that I would do.
264
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Awesome. So do you work with people all over the world just in Australia. Where? How does that.
265
::Ailina: So I've got a practice. So that's when people see me face to face. But some are from interstate Australia. But yes, I've pivoted to going online like, I want to work with more people online. So I do have a 12 week online program.
266
::Ailina: The other thing is, apart from being able to reach more people, I find that with my offline practice
267
::Ailina: with functional, I might not see them for a month
268
::Ailina: or 3 months depending on when their bloods are due. Because
269
::Ailina: I just don't have enough of me, I should clone myself.
270
::Ailina: So I find that with online I can leverage myself, and then we can do weekly check-in. So I find that
271
::Ailina: people, if they don't have accountability
272
::Ailina: they just kind of fall off the bandwagon. So I get people coming back after a month, 3 months, and like.
273
::Ailina: I'm looking at my notes and like, Did you do this? How did that go? And they're like, Oh, I did it, maybe for a week. And then it was
274
::Ailina: too cold to go out for a walk. And so if there's a online program. And it's a weekly check in doesn't have to be crazy. I send you out like, based on your previous week, like a shot
275
::Ailina: tick this box. And if you
276
::Ailina: have more rate
277
::Ailina: markers coming out rather than the green, then we have a quick 5, 10 min chat online. And okay, what's where you stuck. What can we do, or is this too hard? Let's tweak it a bit. So that's the main difference, I find. Apart from reaching more people. It's more
278
::Ailina: a weekly
279
::Ailina: touch, base check in and
280
::Ailina: then I you can see the progress better like, say.
281
::Ailina: like magnesium. Take more pumpkin seeds, but then?
282
::Ailina: you know, they say, oh, it's boring to eat pumpkin seeds. Then maybe next week, I say, okay, chocolate's also high. Cacao is also high in magnesium. Why don't you put it in melted chocolate, you know, like strawberries and chocolate? That's the pumpkin seeds in melted chocolate. Yeah. So giving them all these ideas week by week, then, and everyone sees the
283
::Ailina: potential improving
284
::Ailina: faster.
285
::Ailina: Better than a once a month, once in 3 months. Really.
286
::Ailina: So that's the goal.
287
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Like that? I it sounds like, is it a group, or is it just individual? Do you.
288
::Ailina: So it's a group.
289
::Ailina: Training
290
::Ailina: which is recorded.
291
::Ailina: and people can always go back to watch it. If the timing is not right? Then there's a Q&A at the end, or there's a if there's not, they don't attend live. There's a Facebook private group. You can always ask questions. I come on every few days and answer questions, and then we learn from other people's questions, too. Sometimes you don't think about the questions and someone else answer and then answer it. And
292
::Ailina: people like, Oh, didn't know about that.
293
::Ailina: So and then, as I said, the weekly check-ins get email, they send it back to me, and then I I think I need to tweak something. We jump on a zoom, one to one for 5, 10 min to just address that week's issues.
294
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I love that, so does it work like
295
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: like my dad's concierge service sort of where you're
296
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: they. They pay for a set amount of time that they have access to you, and that you're gonna follow up with them? And
297
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is there? Is it results oriented, or is it kind of open? Ended.
298
::Ailina: So I only see an initial commitment of 12 weeks, 3 months, because everyone is at a different level in the health journey right? Some people would be just. Oh, I just
299
::Ailina: I'm doing well. Nutrition wise. I just need to tweak
300
::Ailina: my thyroid. For example, I'm on this medication. How do we come off it? Then? Some people are like, I have no idea where to start. So they're like studying. So it's an initial commitment of 12 weeks you go through. There's like modules each week. There's something we learn different because I base it on the 5 R. So we look at
301
::Ailina: reevaluating. So where you are, there's a blueprint of like
302
::Ailina: lots of questions that are asked, symptom wise.
303
::Ailina: And then looking at your blood work from a functional point. So that's to reevaluate where you are at the beginning of your journey. And then we remove all those toxins, whether it's food, environmental toxins, personal products.
304
::Ailina: And then we replace. So we replace them with more nutritious foods. We replace with you know, personal care products. You can get those clean
305
::Ailina: non paraben non sls all the stuff that's bad for our body.
306
::Ailina: Then we look at
307
::Ailina: rebalance, so rebalancing your life in terms of lifestyle, looking at the sleep, the stress
308
::Ailina: and nutrition exercise upper gut before we go into lower gut, because sometimes you.
309
::Ailina: sometimes it's like a flow. If you work with your upper gut first, st and address that sometimes your body heals, and you don't have to look at
310
::Ailina: the big gut, the microbiome, your pool, and all that. Sometimes things just fall into place.
311
::Ailina: and lastly.
312
::Ailina: oh, before the balance. Sorry it was
313
::Ailina: regroup. Sometimes, as I said, you fall off the bandwagon. That's when we do the weekly check ins and say, Okay, can't do this too hard. Lots of side effects. Let's try this and so on. So that's how my program the the fire program
314
::Ailina: and re-energizing your life works.
315
::Ailina: But everyone's at a different stage. So some people
316
::Ailina: where we do well at phase one. And they just take a few weeks. Some people take longer, and you can't compare, like everyone said, a different stage in their health journey right?
317
::Ailina: If people wanna continue. They just keep going, or people's happy. They stop. Yeah.
318
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Makes total sense. I I really like the the idea. And I I'm hoping that the whole medical.
319
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: complex kind of moves more in that direction. I think it would make for much healthier societies overall, and I'm really glad that you're offering this to people pretty much everywhere. It's not.
320
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know. I know that where I live it's really hard to find a functional medicine doctor.
321
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: because there just aren't any. I live in the middle of the country, and
322
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you know, if I wanted to go all the way to Salt Lake I might be able to find somebody. But I'm not driving that far.
323
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: so you know that that we can call somebody online or contact somebody online and and get the ball moving
324
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: is
325
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: pretty amazing.
326
::Ailina: Oh, thank you.
327
::Ailina: We I think that sorry. The latest research shows that when you go to your conventional doctor, most doctors spend like 9.5 min in a consult.
328
::Ailina: You can't address anything like your brain has to like, and
329
::Ailina: you come for different things. So then the doctor's the thing of it. Yeah, so you can't do much in 9.5. Unfortunately, that's how the medical system is I'm not sure about.
330
::Ailina: But in the Uk in Australia. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas my
331
::Ailina: conventional patients I spend at least 15 min, and then my functional will go for like an hour, an hour. 15 cause you go into you looking at the whole body you don't just look at. Oh, just help me with my thyroid. Don't worry about anything else, I said, you can't.
332
::Ailina: You can't do that because your thyroid's your sentinel gland, your thyroid is looking at
333
::Ailina: other parts of your body. So if your gut's not happy. Your thyroid's not happy.
334
::Ailina: So yeah, Holly, speak.
335
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, it's
336
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it always amazes me that people.
337
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And by people I mean doctors, they want to look at one organ.
338
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Okay, we're just gonna isolate this one organ.
339
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: but it's connected to all the other organs. You have it for a reason. Well, we're just gonna yank it out.
340
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: You'll know.
341
::Ailina: It has.
342
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: That's it.
343
::Ailina: It happens even here, like. And that's how we learn in medical school and how we start specialized. So like, if you're a gastroenterologist. Yes, you know so much about a bit right just about the gut. Well, even then that's more structural than functional.
344
::Ailina: Shouldn't say that. And then so I had one patient. She went to a gastroenterologist, and he just happened to do her blood pressure. And he's like, Oh, my God, it's high!
345
::Ailina: Why do you go back to your general practitioner and ask her to refer you to a cardiologist I'm like.
346
::Ailina: now
347
::Ailina: manage the patient as a whole. You don't have to compartmentalize.
348
::Ailina: Your illnesses right? Because your body as a whole, it doesn't work on its own
349
::Ailina: right.
350
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And one thing.
351
::Ailina: Ready to go.
352
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Wrong, without other things.
353
::Ailina: Yes.
354
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Affected. You can't just.
355
::Ailina: Yeah.
356
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Can't just look at one organ and say, Oh.
357
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: here, we'll just give you this pill.
358
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I it's why we have side effects, because that one little pill is going to do something. And yeah, it's like people that take Melatonin all the time.
359
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, maybe sometimes you need something to help you fall asleep, but if you take Melatonin all the time, then your body stops learning how to produce it itself.
360
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yep.
361
::Ailina: Oh, you need more and more of the synthetic ones, and and then you're still not addressing the root causes of why you're not sleeping in the first.st
362
::Ailina: Please. Right? Yeah.
363
::Ailina: don't get me wrong. Melatonin is really good. It's a 1 of the super oxygens. So it's a really good anti-inflammatory.
364
::Ailina: I if I'm jet lag it works amazing like it's really good for jet lag. But yeah.
365
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: It. It has its place. It's like everything. Everything has its place, and if you use it as it's intended to be used as a.
366
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: as you know, sometime occasional
367
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: help with sleep.
368
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: not not a daily supplement
369
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: that becomes an addiction.
370
::Ailina: True
371
::Ailina: soon, that you can live without it right.
372
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah.
373
::Ailina: It's the same with what I call happy pills. Your antidepressants like it's supposed to work. For example, one of it is the Ssris. It helps to maintain this fairy capsule of
374
::Ailina: your happy hormone serotonin longer, and then nerve ending. So then it can send a message from one nerve
375
::Ailina: to the next step that you're happy, but then it acts in the other part of the brain. Then people feel like they've lost their zest for life. They feel emotionally blunt, or then it affects on the gut, and you get nausea. And yeah, it's yeah. It's just one thing. It's like a domino effect. So why don't you look with mental health? Look at
376
::Ailina: zinc, your copper? Because copper is a huge factor in converting
377
::Ailina: dopamine to noradrenaline. So Dopamine goes down. You're more depressed. Noradrenaline goes up. You're more anxious like
378
::Ailina: looking at the biochemistry of the brain would be a good thing.
379
::Ailina: I talk too much.
380
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: No, you don't. It's it's so important. And people.
381
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: there's so many ways that you can address these issues that are more natural. I struggle with anxiety for a long time, and I found Ashwagandha.
382
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: And I meant.
383
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and he actually had to look it up on his phone. I was.
384
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I was sworn. It's like.
385
::Ailina: You can't blame him. We don't learn that in editor school. Unfortunately. Yeah.
386
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: For me. That's a miracle drug, because I can tell when I don't take it for a while, and and it works pretty quickly in terms of like calming your nervous system down that with breathing. You know, the box breathing is like, Yeah.
387
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: it's another miracle drug
388
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I'm telling. When I learned to when I learned to do box breathing, it changed my whole sleep.
389
::Ailina: One.
390
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: My whole ability to sleep at night after menopause. It was just like
391
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I was struggling so hard with
392
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: getting to sleep and staying asleep, and you just do that.
393
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and.
394
::Ailina: Amazing.
395
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Off. It is true.
396
::Ailina: I know, like
397
::Ailina: simple.
398
::Ailina: not rocket science.
399
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Breathing, but it's breathing a certain way. And and your body just it really does respond. It's
400
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: I don't know. I keep saying amazing, but it's because it really is amazing.
401
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So
402
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: you offer 3 simple steps to stop being tired on how to stop being tired in 3 simple steps, I think is how you put it.
403
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Can you talk a little bit about that, so we can.
404
::Ailina: I did, I think a bit before. You can always find it in my website@dottyna.com. Basically, the 3 things that I mentioned briefly before. It's
405
::Ailina: 1st the brief breath work. So you just showed it the box breath work while you actually
406
::Ailina: put your fingertips to each other, so I can't show it here. But I think it's on the document, because that then triggers the
407
::Ailina: right Brent
408
::Ailina: left brain connection, and also it comes to down the vagus nerve. Then the second thing is moving. However, you have to move. Whether it's
409
::Ailina: swimming, walking, walking just to the post box just twisting in your chair, doing chair exercises or movements. And the 3rd is,
410
::Ailina: every eating a rainbow. Colored
411
::Ailina: foods? Right? Yeah.
412
::Ailina: Sounds simple. But give it a try. It's just like you said, your breath work works for you. Right? Yeah.
413
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, just simple things, and you can download that@umdrelina.com forward. Slash ff, and I will put the link in the show notes so that people can find it.
414
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: This has been a great conversation.
415
::Ailina: No worries.
416
::Ailina: I just want to say, like, if you want to follow me, my main platform is more Instagram, so it's Dr. Underscore Eilina, so you can put that in the show notes, too, and there's a link if you want. There's a quiz to see what root causes.
417
::Ailina: If you have. If you're suffering from fatigue. What are the root causes? To that I concentrate more on the thyroid, your hormones, your other hormones, and the gut, and then you can get like a percentage, and then you can always book a call with me. It's free. Bring me your blood work. If it's been a recent one, and then I can just interpret it from a functional point of view.
418
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: So when you talk about, bring your blood work. What kind of blood panels would you want people to do.
419
::Ailina: Oh, the more the better. But I know in Austria, in the Us. You might be restricted by your insurance and all that
420
::Ailina: understand, but the basic one so.
421
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Pay for it by.
422
::Ailina: Oh, okay,
423
::Ailina: so
424
::Ailina: that's a good one. Maybe I should put it on my Instagram, like what we look for. It's an easy list. Basically a full blood count because your liver function, your kidney, because even from your liver, looking at Alp, one of the enzymes you could actually
425
::Ailina: conquer whether your zinc is low.
426
::Ailina: even without doing your plasma zinc, because sometimes plasma zing, not many labs do it, or they charge a lot for that. So even, just basic, so full blood. Count liver kidneys your cholesterol. Then there's ways of how to do the blood. So
427
::Ailina: you must always keep
428
::Ailina: the context on when you do the blats the same way.
429
::Ailina: for example, fasting 8 to 10 h. Not longer, not shorter, no exercise. If you're crazy, Marathon. Gym
430
::Ailina: junky, then at least 3 days
431
::Ailina: of not exercising, and that might be hard for some. So at least 24 h.
432
::Ailina: going off supplements for at least 24 h. Of the top of my head.
433
::Ailina: those would be the basic ones. Because, say, 3 months down the line. I say, okay, this was not optimum. Let's do this. And then we test again. We must make sure the environment where we did the blood taking is the same right. So still fasting no exercise.
434
::Ailina: Because, if not, you're kind of like comparing apples to pears, because some people come to me. Oh, I fasted, I said. When was your last meal? 12 h ago? I said, Oh, that will affect some of the liver enzymes right? So then you don't get an accurate representation of
435
::Ailina: how? Yeah, the biochemistry of the blood. So
436
::Ailina: going back to that cholesterol and sugar, Hba, one C is a better one.
437
::Ailina: It looks at the 3 months of your average sugar in the last 3 months.
438
::Ailina: if you can get uric acid, be good if you can get high sensitivity. Crp is good for inflammatory markers. Homocysteine is huge. Yeah.
439
::Ailina: you just reminded me. I'll put down a list that people can go through that they can click on the link for free in my Instagram, and then you can just get your doctor
440
::Ailina: to do it. I am.
441
::Ailina: Do it privately.
442
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, that would be really awesome. I only know about the different types of blood work because my husband has been doing some research. And he's like, I'm trying to find all these tests that I want to take, and I can't find anybody that does that.
443
::Ailina: Yeah, yeah, I mean.
444
::Ailina: what I would suggest would be the basic ones. And then from there, sub specialize it, right? Depending on your needs. But yeah, that's a good
445
::Ailina: what? And how to take the blood slide
446
::Ailina: the environment. I always give a fact sheet to my
447
::Ailina: patience. I just have to
448
::Ailina: with that
449
::Ailina: because some people don't.
450
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Interesting about the the environment I'd never thought about that. I know with with taking your blood pressure.
451
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Most doctors offices do this wrong because they'll just come in and they'll start talking to you, and they're talking to you the whole time. They're taking your blood pressure, and they have you sitting up, and you're already anxious, because, you know, you're in the doctor's office about something, and you're probably in pain. And
452
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: and then they're surprised that you have high blood pressure, and then they want to give you some pills that are
453
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: other problems.
454
::Ailina: And labs always stick to the same labs, different labs, different machines, different reference ranges. It's again comparing apples and past, and and a lot of people don't realize that they're like.
455
::Ailina: I thought it didn't matter, I said. It does matter where you do. Your bloods always stick to the same ones.
456
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Yeah, that's really helpful pieces of information. Thank you so much. So what's the one thing you hope the audience takes away from our conversation today?
457
::Ailina: Listen to your body.
458
::Ailina: I think that's so important.
459
::Ailina: And based on that. Then you advocate for your own health like, okay.
460
::Ailina: maybe I've been living with this fatigue for a while, but I just thought it was just part of me, and then never know any different. So listen to your body.
461
::Ailina: Maybe. Then do your basic bloods look at it from a functional point of view. You might not need drugs. You might not need supplements. It's just probably tweaking your nutrition, and then go from there.
462
::Ailina: Listen to your money.
463
::Jill Hart-The Coach's Alchemist & Host of the You World Order Showcase Podcast: Thank you so much for joining me today.
464
