1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,120
This is the Art Beauty podcast,
where we are always reaching for truth

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:05,280
in beauty.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,920
Remember, the brands and the people on
the show are not paying to be here.

4
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:09,720
So we get to have the real discussions.

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,880
We know that you want to hear
because you deserve to be informed

6
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:15,880
so you can make the best choices
for yourself.

7
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,240
With that said, I'm Amber Milt, and today

8
00:00:18,240 --> 00:00:21,440
my fabulous co-host is friend of the show,
Jennifer Hanway.

9
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:24,600
She's a board certified,
holistic nutritionist.

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,320
She has just so much information.

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,640
She is one of my beauty besties.

12
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,320
And we've got a great show in store
for you today.

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,040
Welcome, Jennifer.

14
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,240
I am so good to be here.

15
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:37,840
I feel like we should always record
the bit

16
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,160
that we talk about
before we actually record,

17
00:00:40,160 --> 00:00:41,960
because that's where we get some
of the juicy stuff as well.

18
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,640
And so
maybe, well, we were talking about like,

19
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:46,720
should we be transparent
about some of the things we're doing?

20
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,160
We've been sharing some stuff,
so let's get into today first

21
00:00:50,160 --> 00:00:53,160
and then you know what, because
we're going to keep it honest here.

22
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,400
We're going to talk to tell you
because we've been talking

23
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,960
about some things that we're doing
if you're interested.

24
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,680
So first off, it is April 16th.

25
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,960
Most of you had the most hated day
if you were in the United States

26
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:08,040
yesterday, hopefully paid your taxes.

27
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,760
And so over paying taxes.

28
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,320
But we got to do it.

29
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,040
And so,
you know, if you need a little bit of like

30
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,080
light hearted recovery,
hope you can get some of that today.

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,800
We are also going into
I know it seems like it's

32
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
not there because in New York,
in the East Coast, it's been cold,

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,160
but like summer is coming, isn't it?

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,400
It's coming. It's coming.

35
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,560
I was in Arizona a couple of weeks ago
and it was just packed.

36
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,640
And I was like, remind me,
live on the East Coast again.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,280
But it's coming.

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,280
It's going to come around so quickly.

39
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,000
And I think we yeah, we're in that.

40
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,080
We have my husband and I, we seem to have
the season between like mid-February.

41
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,080
So post Valentine's Day
the route to getting our taxes in

42
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,840
that just seem the busiest
like two and a half months of our lives

43
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,200
and every year rolls around
and like our car always needs

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,080
some of the saying like all of the things.

45
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,280
So hopefully we can all take a breath,
take a pause,

46
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,080
and then look forward to summer.

47
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,920
I feel like it's the busiest
and also the most boring, right?

48
00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:13,240
Like in some ways because it's like
there's no, you know, my husband always

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,400
is like after February and Super Bowl.

50
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,680
I mean, Valentine's Day for us is like.

51
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,440
So we always try to take a trip
in February, but then it's like March,

52
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,760
April, these two months that are looming
where it can go either way,

53
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,800
either can be beautiful out
and you can be happy or it's not nice out.

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,960
And it's like, come on, come on already.

55
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,160
But yeah,
and then you're doing all the things like

56
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
getting ready to pay your taxes,
hopefully paying your taxes,

57
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,120
thanking God that you paid your taxes, car
servicing all the things.

58
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,080
I hate taxes. So

59
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,480
but, but
in like knowing that the summer's coming,

60
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,840
I want to Jen to come on today
because, you know, listen,

61
00:02:52,640 --> 00:02:56,160
we've talked about it before
and I thought we should do a real in-depth

62
00:02:56,160 --> 00:03:00,000
dive into this today
about the relationship between sugar

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,600
and our skin
and the realities that it has.

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,200
You know, I'm a sweet tooth.

65
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,000
I like my cocktail from time to time,
but I know that's not bad.

66
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,920
And as I'm starting to get older,
I'm starting to realize, like,

67
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:16,800
I look tired more.

68
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,720
My skin doesn't bounce back.

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,720
So just a little bit about this, like,
just give it to us.

70
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,520
Rip the Band-Aid off.

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:24,160
Yeah.

72
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,160
I mean, for us, it's bad.

73
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:27,960
And I.

74
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,640
I hate to be
the bearer of bad tidings, but.

75
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:32,040
But it really is.

76
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,120
It is something
that I really notice in my clients

77
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,120
and my friends post 40,
We don't have as much wiggle room anymore.

78
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,200
We don't bounce back as well anymore
from those late nights, from the sugar,

79
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:49,320
from the wine, and kind of 40 onwards,
what I'm really starting to see the split

80
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,040
between women
that really take care of their skin

81
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240
and take care of their
skin from the inside out

82
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,360
and women that don't.

83
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,560
And I think get to you.

84
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,560
I think all of us up until about our
thirties, we can get away with a lot more.

85
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,160
We get to 40
and you really start to see me

86
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,160
putting in the work and who hasn't?

87
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,440
And, you know,
I think sometimes when we talk about work,

88
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,520
it's like we spend so much money on skin

89
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,160
care products
on, you know, these in-office treatments.

90
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,720
Some of us do or maybe don't, but.

91
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,320
But then are
we just totally derailing it by our diet?

92
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,600
Is there sort of like a balance
that we can find?

93
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,600
What exactly does sugar due to the skin?

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:31,120
Yeah.

95
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,800
You're not going

96
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,880
to be totally derailing it, so
you're not undoing all of the hard work.

97
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,520
But let's be rude about it.

98
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,000
A lot of us spend a lot of money
on what we do in our skin care at home.

99
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
We're spending a lot of money
on skincare treatments.

100
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,400
Now, why would we not want to optimize
that investment by looking after our skin

101
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,080
from the outside in?

102
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,600
And one of the biggest that, you know,

103
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,280
I get so many people reaching out to me
like, what about this supplement?

104
00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:56,120
What about that supplement?
What about this collagen?

105
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:56,760
What about that?

106
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:01,040
And I'm like, let's go back to basics,
because one of the biggest things

107
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:01,640
that we can do,

108
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,760
one of the best things that we can do
if we're talking about skin in

109
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,680
any context, whether we're thinking about
anti-aging, reducing inflammation,

110
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,160
dealing with anything
like eczema, acne, rosacea,

111
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,240
wanting to look young and youthful,
I think it's

112
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,080
okay that we want to say that we want to
look young is to minimize sugar.

113
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080
And there's really two parts
to sugar on the skin.

114
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Number one, it is someone who struggles
with breakouts.

115
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:26,600
And I think there's a lot of women

116
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,600
in their thirties and forties
who've got breakouts on one hand,

117
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,760
premature aging on the other hand,
and they're happening at the same time.

118
00:05:32,840 --> 00:05:34,840
And sugar is really the culprit.

119
00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:37,840
So in terms of our breakouts,
what happens is when we eat sugar,

120
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,080
it raises our cortisol levels,
it raises our insulin levels.

121
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040
So those are all two kind of monster
hormones.

122
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,520
Now when we raise our incentives
and our cortisol levels

123
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,320
that can raise other hormones in the body,
that can create breakouts

124
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,240
and inflammation.

125
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,600
So it helps us and makes us produce
less see them, we get more breakouts.

126
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,480
It's why that we see as teenagers,
we get a lot of breakouts, especially

127
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,640
with those androgen hormones as well.

128
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,400
So sugar,
we're getting skin more breakouts,

129
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,160
so make that a teenager.

130
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,440
But we also see that in women
in their thirties and forties as well.

131
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,320
Now, when you talk about sugar,
are you just talking about refined sugar

132
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,680
or are we talking about sugars

133
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,160
that we have, you know,
naturally occurring like in fruits,

134
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,840
even some vegetables?

135
00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:22,160
Yeah.

136
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,520
So let me get to that in a second,

137
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,440
because I haven't even talked about sugar
and aging.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,720
I'm going to get even more bad means.

139
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
I'm going to be I want to be bad cop,
but am I going to be good cop

140
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,120
and talk about
what are the things that we can do?

141
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,360
Okay,
so one man, we've got those breakouts.

142
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,680
The other hand is premature
aging of the skin through something

143
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,520
called advanced glycation
end products, also known as agents.

144
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,760
And what this does is
when we eat a lot of sugar in the diet,

145
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,880
it binds to the collagen
and elastin in our skin.

146
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,480
So the collagen and elastin in our skin,
it cannot repair.

147
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,640
We cannot grow more collagen.

148
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,120
And the way I ask people to think about
this is think about when you have barbecue

149
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,360
and it's delicious,
but you have that barbecue sauce

150
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,520
on the meat and that makes it go
kind of hard and crispy on the outside.

151
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,760
Delicious for our barbecue.

152
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,520
But that's what's happening with us
having too much sugar as well.

153
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320
Sugar is
great for barbecues, but the skin got it.

154
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,320
Well, you know,
speaking of barbecue and skin,

155
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,000
ah, you know,
let's let's talk about the types of sugar.

156
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,080
So you'll be talking about
only refined sugar

157
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,320
or are you talking about the types
of sugars that could be found like,

158
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,600
you know, in fruits and vegetables
and other naturally occurring sources?

159
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,880
What we're really talking about here
is added sugars and refined carbohydrates.

160
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,920
So added sugars and caloric sweeteners,
added sugars and caloric sweeteners,

161
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,520
anything that the manufacturer

162
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,720
has added to the food
or anything that you add at home.

163
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,080
So, for example,
a really good example of added sugar

164
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,080
is all the sirups
that we get the whole Starbucks thing.

165
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,880
And also what's important to think about
is that we typically think of white sugar,

166
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,520
and I see so much noise around

167
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:59,040
healthy sugars, things
like coconut sugar, honey, maple sirup.

168
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,920
Unfortunately, they all have the same
impact on your blood sugar and your skin.

169
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,800
So then not healthy sugars.

170
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,240
Shoot.

171
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,640
You know, on that note,
I feel like I also want to talk to you.

172
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,760
I see I was in the grocery store
the other day

173
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,600
and I saw all these kind of like
healthy beauty kind of inspired

174
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,760
drinks,
you know, where it's like probiotics and

175
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,560
and different types
of like watermelon beauty drinks.

176
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,960
And I was thinking, gosh,
that sounds good,

177
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,960
but there must be so much crap in this.

178
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:33,480
This is the thing.

179
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,120
It's, you know,
and all this and great options out there.

180
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,160
Yes, there are great options out there
in terms of kind of nutraceuticals.

181
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,960
The things that we're having in our diets
that can help with that.

182
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,880
But a lot of the time
when you get a processed food of any kind.

183
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Yes. That might have
a bunch of collagen in it.

184
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,280
You know,
you've got a drink with collagen in it,

185
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,760
but if it's going to have children,
it's just going to outweigh the tooth.

186
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,880
So the majority of them are not great.

187
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,600
Yeah, I mean, just stick
to the basics, keep it clean.

188
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,040
Or if you're going to just go off the deep

189
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040
end, do what I do and have a diet Coke.

190
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,480
Because, I mean, here's the thing.

191
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,480
There's nothing wrong
with the occasional Diet Coke,

192
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,440
you know,
and we're talking occasional here.

193
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,960
And it's also it depends on depends
on your health status and your goals.

194
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,120
So if you are someone
who's really struggling

195
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,600
with their weight,
really struggling with their blood

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,960
sugar balance,
really struggling with their metabolism,

197
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:25,960
then yes, we want to steer

198
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,200
clear of these things for a longer period
until we can get healthier.

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,680
For someone who is generally healthy,
you come back, great,

200
00:09:32,680 --> 00:09:34,680
you're not struggling
with weight, etc., etc..

201
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,840
You can have these things in,

202
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:37,440
you know, in

203
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,280
Michaela occurrences in moderation and
then not going to be the end of the world.

204
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:45,600
But I just think my my biggest thing is
I just see so many women spending

205
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,960
so much money on skincare and treatments
and then I'm doing it all with a diet.

206
00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:55,000
So, you know, on that note,
if sugar is something that we're looking

207
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,920
to remove from our diets, I know
that you have a fabulous detox plan.

208
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:02,400
It's a 14 day detox,

209
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:06,560
but but what are
some ways that we can start to do that,

210
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,160
you know,
or do we have to go cold like cold turkey?

211
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,200
so let's talk about some of the places
that we can find it in our diet

212
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,760
where it's it's easy to take out.

213
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,760
So some of the kind of the worst
offenders, number one,

214
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:21,600
is going to be soda.

215
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,200
I think we all know soda is bad for us.

216
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Like the one that really frustrates me

217
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,960
is the sirup sweetened drinks in places
like Starbucks.

218
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,960
And I'm in Massachusetts and Dunkin,

219
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:38,000
even your small and I mean small
like the one they don't even offer you.

220
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,920
I think it's like 12 ounces or something.
It might even be eight ounces.

221
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,640
Small vanilla latte and Starbucks,
22 grams of added sugar.

222
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,040
What about what about the sugar
free sirups?

223
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,200
We could go sugar free Sirups They're a
little bit more chemically laden,

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120
but really, do we need to be having
if we're going for a coffee,

225
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,280
can we not just drink a coffee?

226
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,920
Does it have to be a dessert?

227
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,560
There's a big difference between a coffee.

228
00:11:04,560 --> 00:11:05,080
You know what? I know.

229
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,080
So you have to have a black coffee,
have a splash of milk and then whatever.

230
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,240
But with the Starbucks drinks,
I think that's so misleading.

231
00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:15,560
The holiday drinks can have up to 70
grams of sugar in them.

232
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Yeah, that's like three times
as much as you get in a slice of dessert.

233
00:11:18,680 --> 00:11:21,120
Yeah. Yeah.

234
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:23,800
So really, that's the biggest places
we can find them.

235
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,480
So it is we're going to think
about having it in our coffee as well.

236
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,680
And then the other place I'm going to say
unfortunately, is in our wine,

237
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:32,560
not alcohol. Yeah,

238
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,520
you know, we've got to call it.

239
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,240
It's maybe in one hand
and the glass of wine in the other.

240
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:43,200
And we're really just kind of
we're not doing ourselves any favors.

241
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,640
I want about when it comes to
I've got a girlfriend who was drinking

242
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,640
like organic wines or natural wines.

243
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,080
Are those any better?

244
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,080
I think the naturals don't add
sugar, right?

245
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,800
They're going to be better.

246
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,600
But that's still not those.

247
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,200
You know, I've gone back and forth
over this over the years

248
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,640
and they have changed, changed my mindset
and in full transparency.

249
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,640
I don't drink anymore,
have a drink for about eight months

250
00:12:08,680 --> 00:12:12,760
because we don't the
we have very clear evidence that

251
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,840
alcohol is more harmful for our health
and is beneficial for our health.

252
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:18,480
And I wish that wasn't the case

253
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,480
because I love a great glass of champagne
or a great glass of red wine.

254
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,480
But just knowing what I know, I couldn't
in integrity include that in my diet.

255
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,600
And also from a financial integrity
point of view, I could be spending all

256
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,200
of this money on skincare and treatments
and then I'm doing that work with wine.

257
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,840
So get me organic, more natural wines.

258
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,600
They have less sugar, less colorings,
but they're still going to spike

259
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:42,240
your blood sugar.

260
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,480
It's still going to send hunger hormones
all over the place.

261
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:46,840
And best of all,
are you going to text on this as well.

262
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Right? my goodness.

263
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,360
Okay.

264
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,960
So we've got sugary drinks, the sirup

265
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,000
drinks, soda, wine and alcohol.

266
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,560
What else, you know, are there

267
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:02,800
are there any other sneakier places
that the sugar might be existing?

268
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,840
Yeah, I have a real issue

269
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,840
with products that pretend to be healthy
and they're really not.

270
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,000
I'd rather just if you were a candy bar,

271
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,480
just call yourself a candy bar
and let someone enjoy it.

272
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,760
So for example,
when we look at Granolas and Cereal,

273
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,960
one of the worst ones offenders,
especially granola, granola is delicious,

274
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,200
but granola is delicious
because it has honey and maple sirup

275
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,120
and all kinds of different sugars
in there as well.

276
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,400
The same with cereals.

277
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,560
I have a real issue with kind bars.

278
00:13:32,560 --> 00:13:36,440
I have a ton of sugar and that just
and then they try,

279
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,880
you know, there's a ton of sugar in them
when they put five grams of protein

280
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,720
and they can call themselves
a protein bar. Right.

281
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,480
So I would rather products
which is transparent.

282
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:50,280
And if you're going to have some candy
and a Snickers, Reese's Pieces enjoy it

283
00:13:50,680 --> 00:13:53,680
rather than going over here
to a pretend healthy option.

284
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:54,520
So really,

285
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,440
with any of these things, it's always
about ignoring the front of the packaging,

286
00:13:58,440 --> 00:13:59,880
the front of the packaging.

287
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:03,240
But anything in food, in skin
care, it's always for marketing.

288
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,760
We never want to believe that we flip it
round front.

289
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,800
It's the marketing back, it's the science,

290
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,760
and we always want to
look at the ingredients

291
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,720
just like
I met someone at an event last night

292
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,600
and they were asking me
about a certain products

293
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,400
that someone had recommended
to them and I was like,

294
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960
I don't care
what the person says about the product,

295
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,160
show me the ingredients
and show me the clinical studies.

296
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:26,120
Well, you've got to tell us
what was the product.

297
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,040
It was buy and sell something or other.

298
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:29,960
All they did was send me

299
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,120
a promo video about it and I'm like,
I can't tell you anything about this

300
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,880
because I don't know the ingredients
and I don't know the studies.

301
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,080
And that's the same for for any food.

302
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,400
What is it? Third,
believe the claims on a funnel.

303
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,280
So let's flip it around,
find out what's in it.

304
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,960
So, you know, because I know there are
a lot of people who listen to this podcast

305
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,840
who probably do need the occasional
sort of quick meal replacement bar.

306
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,080
Are any of them at all good

307
00:14:58,280 --> 00:14:59,040
protein bars?

308
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,120
I'm not great, so but we need them in it.

309
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,120
We need them in a hurry.

310
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:06,600
So the one that I recommend
that you could actually have on a regular

311
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,520
basis is something called an epic bar,
but it's really not epic.

312
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,520
So but it's a bar made out of meat.

313
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,120
So it is a true protein bar.

314
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,040
You know, most people,
when they're thinking protein

315
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,720
bars, they're thinking quest bars,
they're thinking maybe kind bars.

316
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,440
And the reason why they like these,

317
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,080
no question, is
they don't have sugar in them.

318
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,080
But the reason why they like these
is they feel like a treat.

319
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:28,760
Yeah.

320
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Or it feels like very palatable
if you have to have a breakfast.

321
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,680
So epic is like a meat stick.

322
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:35,360
I think it's like a meat bar.

323
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,200
Okay.

324
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,360
Yeah, exactly.

325
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,720
What about

326
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:42,280
I can't think of the name of it,
but it's like a small bar,

327
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,280
and it's like it has six cashews
and something else.

328
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,240
That's in the bar.

329
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,000
The Oryx bars. Are they bad?

330
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,760
But they're just.

331
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:50,760
They're not bad at all.

332
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,760
But the thing with protein bars is

333
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,240
we haven't got a treat apart
from Quest Bars, which I don't love,

334
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,160
because they're full of really processed,
daring sugar, alcohol, Most protein

335
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,520
bars will have almost twice
as many carbohydrates as they do protein,

336
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,720
so that only protein bars

337
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,640
because they have
a little bit of protein in them,

338
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,800
not because they're
a good source of protein.

339
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:15,000
So I think people either have these
when you're when there's no other options,

340
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,080
if you have to get on a flight,

341
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,480
all of those things that we don't want
to make them a regular part of our diet.

342
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:20,320
Sure.

343
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,960
But if you need them occasionally,
you know, just and again,

344
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:29,280
I'm not the holistic nutritionist here,
but I found on Amazon,

345
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,880
Amazon sells
little individual packet of pistachios.

346
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Yeah.

347
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,240
I keep them in my desk and like,

348
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,080
I think it's like 100 calories,
but man, will those fill me up.

349
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,200
So I've tried to kind of I'm like,
when I do QVC and QVC,

350
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,440
we have to be like up for like 24 hours.

351
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,800
Those seem to be really helpful to me.

352
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,920
Yeah, because they have protein.

353
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,760
They have fiber in them.
They have that right.

354
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:55,320
They have a little bit of protein in them.

355
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:59,400
So I had to get
I flew back from the West Coast

356
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:01,640
a few weeks ago
and I didn't usually when I fly to

357
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,400
take my food with me, I wasn't
saying I was I didn't have that option.

358
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,440
So I went to like their version of Hudson
Cheese

359
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:12,480
and I got some chopped turkey sticks,
I got some nuts.

360
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:13,920
I did get an rxbar.

361
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,160
I got a tiny thing of grapes
that cost me $10.

362
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,680
So ridiculous. Yeah. my God.

363
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:21,040
Like I spend money on food.

364
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,680
And even I was like, Are you kidding me?

365
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,960
So $70 later,
but yet this thing's like, nuts,

366
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:30,400
the jerky, the grapes, that kind of thing
kept me going for the flight.

367
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,040
So, you know, I want to be mindful of time

368
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,040
here, but we've kind of identified
some of these bad foods.

369
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:39,320
I think it makes sense.

370
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,280
So if we want to start to detox
from some of the sugar,

371
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,320
what does that look like?

372
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,040
I know you have a program, but
but how should we begin to do that?

373
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,040
Is that gradually
or do we have to go cold turkey?

374
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:57,200
So I will recommend going cold turkey
because what we have to do

375
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,600
is actually set up
a dose response in our brain.

376
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,240
So we're going to go back into the science
a little bit.

377
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,800
So there's a couple of reasons
why we crave sugar.

378
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,480
One of them is because sugar sets off
a dope immune response in our brain.

379
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:13,000
We are wired to crave sugar
as evolutionary biology.

380
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,480
So back when we were people, foods
like honey

381
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,480
berries were really,
really important for our survival.

382
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,280
So our body is designed to crave those.

383
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,040
Now, when we eat foods
that are high in sugar,

384
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,040
we get that dopamine response in our brain
that makes us feel good.

385
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:28,160
Just that same,

386
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,360
you know, we talk about dopamine
detoxing in terms of

387
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:32,560
like not checking our social media
all the time.

388
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,160
It's the same with sugar.

389
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,400
Now, the more sugar we have,
the more we get that dopamine response,

390
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:41,200
the more we need to get that hit, for
want of a better way of saying it.

391
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:45,240
So what I do ask people to do,
I say, if you give me 14 days

392
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:50,280
without having sugar and added sweeteners,
we can retrain that part of the brain.

393
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,360
But I don't have people white knuckle
this because that's never going to work.

394
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Like if I say to you,
you can't have any sugar,

395
00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:58,880
any wine,

396
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:00,640
you can't have your candy corn
at Halloween,

397
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:02,640
what is going to be the first thing
that you want to have?

398
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:03,920
Candy, corn immediately.

399
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,960
Anyone has have that conversation.

400
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,360
But what we
really want to do is we're going to think

401
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:11,520
about taking those things out,

402
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,520
but also going to support your body
by a chemistry over here.

403
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,840
So if we don't have protein, fiber and fat

404
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,880
and all meals, we're
going to crave these foods even more.

405
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,400
So what a lot of people do is
when they go on a diet or detox,

406
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:25,680
whatever we want to call it,

407
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,600
they jump straight in with everything
and they're like,

408
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,640
I'm not going to have any fat, any sugar,
any carbs, any such and such.

409
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,800
And they get to maybe 3:00
that day in the head first.

410
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,560
And Ben Jerry's, right?

411
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,400
So what we want to do if we're thinking
about taking out sugar in our diet,

412
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,840
detoxing from sugar is making sure we're
having a really great amount of protein

413
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,760
and veggies, fresh fruits, healthy fats,
maybe some more complex carbs

414
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:49,160
that every meal

415
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:53,320
that is going to help rewire our body
so we're not craving speed so much.

416
00:19:54,360 --> 00:19:55,640
Okay.

417
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:58,800
So, you know,
if people can't do this on their own,

418
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,080
I know you have an incredible program.

419
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,160
Can you tell us a little bit about that?

420
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:03,560
Yeah.

421
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,320
So I saw this in I'm
seeing so much noise around

422
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,560
giving up sugar, blood sugar
spikes, etc., etc..

423
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,320
But no one's really teaching you
how to do it.

424
00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,040
People just expecting you to kind of white

425
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,240
knuckle it
and it doesn't work for anything.

426
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,440
So I put together my 14 day detox.

427
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,760
It helps you with the behavior change
part of it.

428
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,240
That's also going to give you
the exact thing to do.

429
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,400
You know, I'm busy. You're busy?

430
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:27,840
My clients are busy.

431
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,600
They don't want to have
to figure it out themselves.

432
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,640
They want someone to show them exactly
how to do it.

433
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,080
So within 14 day detox,
we have 40 days of meal plan.

434
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,760
So breakfast, lunch, healthy
snack and dinner.

435
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:42,240
We have our smart swaps,
which are all of our sugar free options

436
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,560
for your favorite foods.

437
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,720
And then we're also talking
about the behavior change

438
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:46,800
piece of the puzzle as well.

439
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:50,280
So it really is going to take you through
that 14 days.

440
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,240
And honestly, within a couple of days,
you're going to start feeling better.

441
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:55,960
I love that. Love that, love that.

442
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,960
If people want to know more
about that program, where should they go.

443
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,160
As they come over?

444
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,960
It is coming to me over at Instagram.

445
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,960
I'm @JenniferHanway on Instagram.

446
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,200
We'll have all the details
of that for you.

447
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,640
Amazing. And you know what?

448
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,160
Before we wrap things up,

449
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,360
we did say at the beginning
we would be kind of transparent

450
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:13,960
about some of the things that
we've been doing. Do you want to go first?

451
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,320
To get me to go first?

452
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,920
Which decade are we starting from?

453
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,400
Yesterday.

454
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:20,680
Yeah.

455
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,000
So on a I get Botox on a regular basis,
I did any something

456
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:30,160
that when I was 37 or 38,
I wish I had started that earlier.

457
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,400
Honestly, I remember the first time
I ever got on Microdermabrasion

458
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:37,520
I must have been like 30 or something
and I was petrified and I was like,

459
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:38,760
this is nothing.

460
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,400
And then the first time you got Botox,
you're like, my goodness.

461
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,560
And you're like, Give me all of the Botox.

462
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,480
So Botox on a regular basis.

463
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:50,680
I have had sculpture in my temples,
which I really like,

464
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,680
and I feel like sculpture is the gift
that keeps on giving

465
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,120
a little bit and clear. Brilliant.

466
00:21:57,120 --> 00:22:00,480
I did so fun the other day as well.

467
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,040
I tend to. I do. I will say I'm not

468
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,080
attempted treatment jump
and I never do a series of other things.

469
00:22:07,120 --> 00:22:10,120
So I'd say for me
the major things that I'd, I mean, I am

470
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,960
very, very dialed in on my diet.

471
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,360
I don't drink the do drink coffee.

472
00:22:15,360 --> 00:22:16,480
I take a ton of supplements.

473
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:21,080
So I'm very good on that side, pretty good
with my basics of skincare, things

474
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,480
I do on a regular basis, pretty much Botox

475
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,240
and then kind of maintenance stuff
with laser or hydro facial.

476
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,880
That's probably where I'm at.

477
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,440
What I'll never do,
I probably will never do threads that no.

478
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,360
Don't. Know it.

479
00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:37,240
Don't know threads.

480
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:39,720
I mean, even all the professionals
who used to like, swear by threads,

481
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,840
they're now saying that there's
too many complications.

482
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:44,600
It can just be a nightmare.

483
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,120
I've heard. Yeah.

484
00:22:46,120 --> 00:22:50,360
So I think that's where I think that's
where I'm at for me, for the next problem.

485
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
When I look and I'll talk about you.

486
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,280
I am regular Botox.

487
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:56,640
I started at 35.

488
00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:58,520
I'm actually glad.

489
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,040
You know, I think for some listeners,
for some people that may seem young,

490
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:05,440
some people that may seem old,
I thought it was the right age.

491
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800
So I think 37 is actually
like kind of the right age.

492
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,920
If you start too young, Botox
can cumulatively start to lose

493
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,640
its effectiveness also by paralyzing
the same muscles all the time.

494
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,560
It burns the skin.

495
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,840
You get muscle atrophy
because you're never using that muscle.

496
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,360
So I realize one of the problems I had,
I started to have veins pop up

497
00:23:25,360 --> 00:23:28,920
and my doctor was like, it's because
we've probably done too much Botox there.

498
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,840
So I had to lay off that.

499
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,840
So full movement right here.

500
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,760
But I will continue to go

501
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,160
in and sort of add that back in up here.

502
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,520
I'm giving it a little break.

503
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,160
I am doing sculpture of
for the first time.

504
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,640
So I'm excited. Stay tuned for that.
I'm doing it with you, beauty.

505
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:51,200
So just Google new beauty ember sculpture
in like a couple of weeks

506
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,160
and that video should be up there
and I will track my process.

507
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,240
Chris also shared on social

508
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,160
and then yeah, like occasional lasers.

509
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,160
I think my next thing will be in the fall
to do IPL again.

510
00:24:06,120 --> 00:24:08,000
That'll be the big one.

511
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Thera I like. It's very expensive.

512
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,400
So but you know,
I think the most important thing,

513
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,400
find a doctor or derm that you love,

514
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,480
not that there's not great
medical professionals

515
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:23,400
out there and assistants,
but like go to a board certified

516
00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:27,000
doctor or derm to get a good plan.

517
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,400
You know, you just you want to make sure
that you're in the right hands.

518
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,400
And that's all I got.

519
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,680
So with that, my lovelies,
you know, we're in spring.

520
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:37,680
Happy April.

521
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:38,960
Happy Post Tax Day.

522
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:39,960
We're good for another year.

523
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,120
We hope for Jennifer.

524
00:24:42,120 --> 00:24:43,480
Thank you so much for being on.

525
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,480
Great advice that we can take
for the spring, the summer

526
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,040
when I certainly know we kind of start
to derail some of our diets

527
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:51,360
and certainly beyond.

528
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:54,360
Thank you so much for having me.

529
00:24:54,360 --> 00:24:55,480
You know, I love you.

530
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,320
And of course,
if you at home have any questions

531
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,040
you want me to pass on to
Jennifer, I'm happy to do so.
