Calling all my Sweeties to the forefront.
I'm your host, Chris Renee Hazel, and this is the Keep It Posit Sweetie Show.
Sweeties, today's guest is someone whose impact isn't just felt.
It's tasted, it's lived, and it's healing folks from the inside out.
I'm talking about the incredible Kelly Bowman, founder of Sabie's daughters, who is carrying on the powerful legacy of her father, the legendary Dr. Sabie.
And she's doing it with grace, intention, and real, real.
results. Her mission is to help us eat to live, to cleanse, to nourish our bodies at the
cellular level, and to remind us that health isn't just a goal. It's our birthright. And listen,
this isn't just hype, guys. I've used her products. I love them, and I'm telling you right now,
they work. So if you're ready to feel good, thank Claire and glow from within. Keep listening,
because Kelly is about to pour into us in a way that only she can. Please give a warm welcome to
Kelly Bowman,
Kelly,
aka Nurse Kelly.
How are you feeling?
I'm good.
Good.
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm great.
I'm so good.
I'm so excited about our episode.
I met you through Monica Brown.
We were at a game one night and she was talking about it.
She's like, my nurse, Nurse Kelly, she takes care of me.
I never get sick.
Let me give you your information because we were talking about how my sinuses kept bothering me and living in Georgia.
And she was like, you need to meet nurse.
Kelly. I had no idea who you were or who your father was at the time. Monica just said,
Nurse Kelly. And I said, all right, give me her number. And we text. And I met you. And you came
to my house and sat at my kitchen table. And in that moment, I said, we need her on the podcast.
Just the conversation and how I was able to digest it. And then you gave me what I needed to
implement it into my daily life. I was like, people need to know this. They need to hear about it.
And they need to put it into their daily lives. So I'm so excited to have you here to
day because I know it's going to be a good sister-sister conversation but also very
informative yes when when two ladies get together I think it's the most positive and most
wonderful thing yeah if both of our goals is to share good stuff with each other and for others
I always feel like I don't miss a good girl moment I don't know how many more I got so I
don't waste no time I love that I love it she's comfortable y'all so we're about to really get
into it I'm excited I love this um a lot of people don't know that you are the daughter one of the
daughters to Dr. Savie and you have created a brand Savie's daughters and it's just taken off.
It's taken off and I want to talk to you about your upbringing and for people who don't know
the impact that your father had to really bring this all full circle.
Like you learn so much and you're carrying on his legacy every single day.
What was it like growing up as young Kelly whose father was creating all these innovative products
that the earth gave us
that we didn't even know because
the Western World Medicine, we're taking
what they tell us to take. What was it like
growing up in that home at that age?
You know, I've been asked that a lot of
quite a few times in different ways
and I love the question and it makes me
reflect, so thank you for that question.
I could feel it in the way you were taking it in.
You know, I want to take it in. I want to, you know, because it's
a real moment and when I go back to Young
Kelly and I remember
when I would, and it was
in Compton, my mother,
mother and father met some years that, however, my earliest memories of me sitting with my father
was in the garden. That was my first classroom. That was my first master class. I don't know what
it's like to feel joy or to feel any emotion without nature attached to it. I didn't have
that luxury of going to Disneyland and learning about Cinderella in all of her fantasy worlds.
I was introduced to a man who was totally factual about life, and he didn't want to.
want to waste a moment with me and I appreciated it but I also had a sick father you know he had
quite a few of the illnesses that he talked about early on if you know if you catch his videos out
there yeah but to live with him and watch is a whole master class I don't I don't even know how
to tell you I don't know any different and I'm grateful because if it prepared me for this moment
then I'm more than grateful to God yes you know there's points in my life when you say
oh I wish I didn't have the parents that I got I wish I wish but now I'm growing enough to know I'm grateful
yes yeah and it's beautiful how you are carrying his legacy and how you built a brand that is helping us
as a people it's I'm telling you when I sat down and talked to you're not and I'm going to be open like
I was asking you about because I got diagnosis borderline diabetic and my doctor was like you got to
get a handle on this and I was like Kelly what do I need to do how can I get a hold of this
and you were telling me different things I need to do for even free menopause
and prepare for myself to make sure that I'm ready for these things.
And in that moment, I was like, goodness, everything she's doing is to really help us just be better people, you know?
And I love that about you.
How did your father's legacy and everything that you learned from him shape who you are today to, for you to even say,
I want to build a brand that really helps people continue to carry this torch?
Man, I think I was groomed.
But I think it was just life experiences.
He didn't sit down and have those.
talks like most
father-daughters, I think
at some point do, but
it was just so
it was a lifelong lesson
for me. It never stopped.
You know, I kept a diary.
But I think my dad was the first
one I told I had a period.
Because we were so deep in our
conversations, I looked just like them.
And it's kind of, you know,
I grew up to like it now, but when I was
young, it wasn't so popular. But
you know, accepting me, it's
who I am and what I am and where I come from and I've always thought it to be a great thing
that I could talk to him and have those conversations and it was a constant shaping.
And I think if we ever have the opportunity as people to shape young people in the way that
feeds them into their growth into their future, always see their future in the conversation.
And if I had to say how Savie's daughters came along was because I've always been Savie's
daughter. I've always been Alfredo Bowman's daughter. I've always wanted to be a good representation
of my parents.
They do all they can to, you know,
prepare us in the way that they think
will shape us. But how I
brought it into my own,
he made the vegetables
become more than just something I need to put
on my plate and become real
as just my experience with eating.
It became my life's journey. It became a ministry.
So when I would know my favorite,
talk about it a lot, but
I still want to talk about Okra.
Oprah was my first celebrity of the garden.
I love that I fell in love.
I love that.
That was my first celebrity I was introduced to way before anything else.
But I learned the truth about Okra.
I learned that where it came from in Africa.
I learned about how it controls A1C, your sugar.
Before they even had a name of A1C, it came from, you know, Africa.
And it empowered our body to do something that it couldn't, nothing else could in a chemical ever accomplish.
Yeah.
But I think God did well.
Absolutely.
And so, you know, when I look at how it became my truth, it wasn't just a vegetable I ate,
it became my medicine, it became my healer.
It became such a huge part.
I don't know how to separate it at 53.
Wow.
Yeah.
I mean, it's like, it's in your DNA.
So baby daughters came from trying to understand or help my father understand my position as a woman,
as a woman that came from him.
Yeah.
And I would love to say that I'm doing the best I can to represent what I took it to be.
What my brothers and sisters took it to be is something else, but what Kelly took it to be, the personal walks we had about my cramps.
I wanted to ask you about that.
Your dad was the first person that you told about your period.
Usually it's the mom.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That you're like, Mom, what's happening?
What are some things?
Because I know even as we get older, like fibroids, endometriosis, things that cause our cramps to be heightened, what are some.
some things that your father told you, hey, this is what you need to do?
Well, that's interesting conversation because, again, he's not American, so it's not quite like
an American household.
So it was, um, Poppy, I got, he's like, oh, you got your period.
So it was like, I didn't, he said it.
I was like, yeah, that.
Okay.
So we went to the kitchen.
So he pulled out some herbs out of the kitchen.
Red raspberry was one of them.
Some of the foods that, um, you know, I normally eat.
He was like, well, here, I want you to think about.
this instead of this one instead you know and so the shaping of my hormone level
starts there he's like yeah you're going to be a little crazy you're going to feel a
little crazy you're going to think a little crazy but how you do the how you're going to get
through it is fasting you're going to have to fast your way through a lot of things and he says
you're going to find that you know your emotion's going to change and from that it helped me
to understand that it was okay to feel the things I had but it was not okay to stay
there so I think that was an important thing was learning how to fast and what that meant
Kelly, learning how and when my period was coming about and preparing for it on the front end.
Because who needs to catch it on the back end? We need to know what to do. So every time I had
a question, it was a walk in an herb. It was a walk and some good information. It was some tea.
It was, and I like that. Now, Mom, of course, she's the one that got the actual materials and
the things, but my dad was that it was okay to be me. It was literally okay to talk about those
things and I don't have a world where it's not okay to, I don't have to hide. So if that's one of
the lessons I learned from him early on was, I can be me. And I can say what my problems are because
a lot of women with fibroids and things of this nature have trouble talking about it, even with
their doctors. A lot of women don't realize that you can go to a doctor's office and not sit
on that table, which causes a lot of anxiety. You can go into their doctor's office and sit there
and talk to them. Talks about the same. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. Because you need to talk to
somebody who you're going to give your life to. Whether it be, yeah, whether it be the man in your life
or the doctor or even the person giving you your food at a fast food place or whoever you're trusting,
your life is important. It is. And I wanted to know that you knew me. Yeah. So I think
me talking to him was for him to see every step of how Kelly grew up. You know, he knew me as a child,
of course, and as I grew up, I had different questions.
Yeah.
And they were answered in different ways because as you get older, you process in a different way.
And I'm grateful he was patient.
But it was his diet that made him patient.
I don't know who Alfredo Bowman would have been if he didn't take the journey first.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't think he would have been as patient.
Speaking of the diet and you talked about him taking you to the kitchen,
I want to know, did you, what did that, what did your refrigerator look like growing up?
And did you guys get to go to McDonald's or did you have a French ride?
Or was that like forbidden?
It was forbidden, but don't think, you know, we are children.
Curious.
Yes.
We have neighbors with food that we didn't have.
So that was interesting, but it paid you back and he knew when you did because
funny enough that when we were in the garden, where do you think he got when we were infants?
You know, there's soil that you have to make.
But where did you think he fueled the soil with?
Well, if you have a child that's vegan, there you go.
Yes.
So if your children are vegan, and there eat nothing but what you feed them, how, you know,
the byproduct is still good enough for the garden.
Wow.
A lot of people don't realize that.
You can manure for, like, for the garden, so I'm not used.
I never thought about that.
But your die got to be pure.
So what he adopted in the house, you know, we were his first, you know, before there was
a doctor's safety.
There was Alfredo Bowman who was sick wanting to be well, got well and made his children well,
made his family well and then he took it to the community yeah what was your father sick with
well he had diabetes he had hypertension he had impotency yeah he talks about it but getting back
to your question you asked what was in the refrigerator so everything that was in the garden so
I love zucchini I love squash I love so it was everything that was grown out there um and maybe a
couple of extras like juice like uh back in california that far back we didn't have whole food we
had miss gooches and that was that was one of the first and i think they came out in 1970s but
uh that co-op store was so dope i didn't know much more but um it had such natural things that
you know you had your juicing people over in one corner you had all your grains in the other
corner i grew up no i on quinoa before it was popular wow yeah yeah i knew how to say it
before people just started saying about 10 years ago literally yeah that's one of my ancient
celebrities of the garden yeah that's an OG yeah so it's just like I appreciate that that world
was introduced um to him first yeah because I don't think he would have pulled out all and who we
know him to be because I don't really think it's the herbs he had I think it's the journey yeah
it was the hero in his own life so that's what it teaches me to be the hero in my own life
to be a part of my rescue.
So if you ever want to help yourself, please pay attention to your rescue.
Participate in your own rescue.
That's the thing, you know, the biggest thing I got from him.
Yeah.
And so as I live my life, I don't live it scared.
I live it fully balanced, plant balance, and it helps me to think better.
Yeah.
So I can share better.
Yeah.
What are some of the, you have a, you call it.
it celebrities of the garden what is your like top five celebrities of the garden top five you ready
for that all right okra's number one zucchini's number two uh avocados number three okay i have that
tomatoes number four and mushrooms number five wow okay so i just saw on instagram some guys saying
you shouldn't eat mushrooms it's a fungus yeah what is your take on that i'm gonna eat them
i'm gonna eat i'm i'm gonna eat them i love mushrooms yeah i'm gonna eat them i get it yeah and
And I get, for him, that's not his consciousness.
And this is why I say, you know, some people can't have mushrooms.
And your body tells you that that's not something that you want to do.
But here's what I like about my life is that it's mine.
Yeah.
And what I try and nature is up to me.
It was here before I got here.
And I want to see.
I'm that kid who was curious.
Yeah.
Baby's Daughters products is my curiosity about how he walked with me
and what I found to be my one with me.
nature my one with god i wanted to introduce myself more to you know as i get older to what makes
me happy so i love mushrooms they are listen i can put them i can have them by themselves i can
have them on top of a salad make it a warm salad i will man there it's just endless um with as mushroom
coffee i like mushroom coffee is it good i don't drink coffee but that's he drinks mushroom
coffee i like it it's pretty dope now i don't do chattaki because again when we talk about an alcohol
diet there are some that are good and some that are better for you so you just got to know that
kind of measurement okay to know where you're going with your food so that's that's I wanted to ask
you about that too um an alkaline plant-based diet because I was plant-based at one point true
but alkaline plant-based is totally different tell me the difference between me and like oh I'm vegan
and I'm eating beyond meat burgers and just egg and I'm you know all these right right
Mm-hmm.
What is the difference between plant-based and the way most people think it is
and an alkaline plant-based diet?
Alkaline you're going to find with seeds.
You're going to find these are the indigenous foods that were here that God made.
So it carries the highest level of nutritional value.
And that's, you know, I have it on my website,
but that's the holy grail of cellular growth.
That's the time when you, you know, you sit back and ask yourself,
what do I eat when I want to feel better?
that alkaline diet is where you go.
Okay.
Now, when you want to feel not better but basic,
you're going lower on that totem pole.
And so then you find those other things that people call vegan.
You know, a lot of people don't realize you can be diabetic and be vegan.
Oh, I've heard.
Yes.
And I don't think a lot of people think that's the situation because we think it's all created equal.
No, no.
So alkalinity means that you are pushing your body up to a state of no acid,
which disease can't live there.
So the food list is designed, yes, that food list is designed to keep your cellular growth and momentum and your immune system, everything running at the state it needs to.
So you always need to know about it.
Now, where you fall at what time in your life, you know, because there's virgins of Kelly.
Like, I could be skinny Kelly and then there's the fluffy Kelly, but I always know where to go back to because that kitchen and that list was always my medicine.
So, you know, you still need to know how to eat.
Right.
No matter where you go, you still need to know how to do.
this but honestly I believe the biggest relationship that we fail on is our relationship with our food
and ourselves oh that's my biggest struggle because I love food and yeah it's hard for me to fight
cravings like I'm not that discipline in my life where if if my body's saying shake shack
burger I got to have the burger you are the sum of your experiences girl girl I get it
Yes.
What would you tell someone like me or anyone watching who feels like?
Because I remember when I was big and it was hard to be social.
It was hard to go out to eat with your friends.
And it's hard.
Can you not cook this and butter?
It was so many restrictions that you had.
What can you tell someone who is busy but wants to try to start shifting their life?
What are some fundamental things they can do to start making a change towards the alkaline plant-based diet if they can't just go cold turkey?
Yeah, no one can.
Not in this day and age.
That would be done for me to sit up here.
and tell you that I believe in that.
I don't take anybody through a journey of me.
Wow.
Who are you?
So good.
Who are you?
Like, who are you?
What do you eat when you're sad?
Like, that's what I like to talk about.
Like, what do you eat when, you know, you're extremely happy?
Right.
Like, that's who you are.
And that's the person I want to know.
Yeah.
Because the book of you is what matters.
So when you start to make changes, you want to look at it like this.
Okay, well, we know that candy.
is not something that we're going to,
but what are you going to replace it with?
Right.
So it's not about taking away,
but it's the subtraction and the addition.
Okay, so I need to eat berries in the morning.
I need to get, you know, nature's candy,
but don't go cold turkey.
Your brain won't understand that.
Sugar is a big drug.
Oh, my gosh.
So it's salt.
That's my problem.
So you have to replace them.
Mm-hmm.
And so I tell people, learn to learn you.
Yeah.
What can you do when you're on your better days?
Like we're talking about having your cycle.
You know, you eat differently.
We were just talking about it.
When you're on your cycle.
So I like people to journey through that feeling and take a journal.
So when I'm on my cycle, what do I eat?
And what's the worst things that I eat?
And then on the other side, what makes me well?
Yes.
What do I do that keeps me this place?
So you can have ginger on there.
You can have red raspberry.
You can have drinking more water, less salt.
You can have, you know what I'm saying?
so you can always have your playbook
because we're so busy in this world right now.
I mean, how can people really say
I'm going to go from a barbecue sandwich
all the way down to mushrooms?
Girl, how do you know that?
Jackfruit?
There ain't nobody doing that.
Jackfruit is cool, but for the meat eater,
it's nice to look at, but it's not a transfer.
So I tell people, okay, so how can you break this down
that makes sense to you?
And I think that's where I want to meet you,
where you are.
I don't want you to live Kelly's life.
I can't live, I'm afraid,
Bowman, Dr. Sabie's life, I have to figure it out to make sense.
But the goal, if our goal is the same, to be well, to have peace, then we have to journey
through this and participate in our rescue.
Yeah.
So those little changes, drinking more water, that's great, but how much water can you get
in a day?
And how can you structure that to be in something you want to do?
Right.
So if it's not water, can you drink coconut water?
Do you like watermelon water?
But getting to know yourself on paper is so dope.
Yeah.
But taking those small things, that's the important thing.
But we all know we can't eat at different, we can't have fried food every day
and expect to wake up with a good attitude.
Right.
Because junk in, junk out.
Yes.
Yes.
That's so true.
That's so true.
I feel like right now more than ever our food administration is finally taking away things
that have been really killing us.
like the food dies and it's more like we're conversations that happen overseas and that's in
their food that's not in their food is in our food.
How do you feel about the changes that they're making but then I just saw something where
they're starting to put vaccines and vegetables so things that we know we should be eating now
they're putting vaccines and lettuce and I think it may have been tomatoes it was like a
government hearing that I was watching I was like what is happening?
How do you feel about that when you hear about the things that are going on?
And does everyone need to be growing a food in their garden in their backyard?
Like, is that the remedy to all this?
Yeah, you just answered it.
I don't have time.
I love the growers.
I love when I go to a different city.
I travel a lot to see clients.
I love talking to people.
And I love when people want to give me a present.
And that comes in giving me their truth.
Yes.
So I like to visit farmers.
Local farmers, there are local farmers everywhere and going to farmers markets, learning how to grow small things in your backyard.
They're so cool.
You got it on YouTube.
You got on different platforms where you learn how to grow your own.
But also, there are barcoes on the vegetables that you see in grocery stores.
Please pay attention.
Oh, I have the Yucca app.
There is so much.
See, I'm glad you brought that out because that's the tool.
Yes.
So when you see better or you know better, you should definitely do better because we ain't going to survive if we don't.
There's such a war on food.
yeah it it makes no sense for you not to take a proactive you know some kind of effort in your own
even if it's just going to the farmers markets we all have them in our town we do but in food
deserts i'm liking that you know more people are getting into um donating food to food deserts
and understanding you can get things delivered to your house by way of mail now so i love those
things that are going on yeah um there's there's a couple of ones that i like in california that
you can order your vegetables and they bring them on to your house they you know like uber
yeah it's cool so just finding but it's finding you because see here's the the truth of the matter
being a nurse i've seen a lot of people in the hospitals and they're dying by default because
you didn't pay attention so it's good to look at but it's better to behave yourself that's the part
it's just like you don't want to end up me you know and i don't you won't find me in the er with you
but you don't want a nurse to keep injecting you with stuff because you didn't get it right.
Right. Is a doctor to check on you for what you're doing up front,
or is he to give you something because you haven't done any checking on yourself?
You've got to ask yourself why you go to the doctor.
Why do you go and sit in an office and you've got all this anxiety?
Yeah.
Because you don't know yourself.
You don't know yourself.
So we got to know ourselves because when I go to the doctor, I'm checking on what I've done.
I'm going to be a little bit conceited.
Listen, I'm 53.
I'm still trying to be in the senior streets.
Right.
Trying to get out there.
Yes.
No, I'm kidding.
No, I'm not.
Right?
Actually, I'm not.
That is so funny.
But that seems like we need to be proactive instead of reactive.
That's it.
And I think a lot of times, like, it's not until like I'm feeling something.
I'm like, ooh, what is that?
What's that?
I need to go to the doctor and figure out what this is versus, like, really taking time to get to know my body, to know, like, wait, this is.
this isn't this doesn't feel right
because I have touched myself
I do know okay that wasn't there a week ago
let me go get this checked out before
months passed and I ought to go away
because I think sometimes because
I was an athlete growing up I feel
pain I'm like use brush off keep pushing
it'll go away the body will heal itself
but no you need to listen to that and take heed
but then what if there's things
that we can be doing at home
and what are some of things you learn love at home
you learn hate at home
you learn so much insecurities at home but you know what that's that's where we all have to
stop and say what are we teaching as the adult in the room yeah but and if you're allowing
your children or the people in your home um to let television give you the parenting give you
the then you're going to get misinformed and how much are you informed so it's about participation
I like when I can sit with my clients and talk to them at a round table with their families and go, all right, we're going to talk about some dirty stuff.
You're going to talk about Snickers.
I'm going to talk about hot dogs.
But the question is, let's have a conversation about our food.
Because it's all in the goal is to be peaceful and happy.
No one wants to die by default because we, you know, with diabetes or hypertension or, you know, heart disease.
could we have done something on the front end?
Absolutely.
So those conversations, small ones, they don't have to all be large.
But when I go into your house, if I really want to know you, I'm going to look in your refrigerator,
and that's going to tell me to some of your experiences.
Wow.
And the level of, you know, self-love.
Because it is abusive to think that all of this stuff that you're eating,
this process, is going to save your life.
So when I meet people and I see them there, I pray first.
Yeah.
I pray for forgiveness.
They didn't know.
There's a lack of knowledge when I look in the refrigerator,
and I didn't grow up with a lack of knowledge.
And then, you know, because when I was young, I would go, you know,
I talked to my poppy, and I sit on the porch with, you know,
him smoking and talking to his friends.
And I go, listen, I went over my friend's house.
They had this, this, and this in their refrigerator,
and it looked good, and they let me taste this.
And he'd look over at me and go, and then you'll die.
Wow.
I'm like, well, wait a minute.
That's not what I was gumming to him telling him I have found gold
When in actuality it was poison
He never allowed me to have that fantasy Cinderella world that I told you
It was always so real
In a child where you're like gosh dad
Just let me live in this fantasy world for a minute
Or were you always like okay this is just what it is
Well they're your parents you're going to get what you want to get out of it
But I'm glad I could always default on the truth
And that's what I want for people in the world.
It's the default on truth, but know what truth is.
See, if you're out here in this fantasy world thinking that you're going to find it on TikTok, you're going to find it.
You have to know you.
You've got to know what makes you work.
A lot of people don't understand that quiet time by yourself.
Some people get scared of being quiet by themselves, but that's what grows you.
Those talks with Big Mama or your aunt about them having gardens when they're going to.
They were little.
Yeah.
That grows you up.
But you got to grow up at some point and don't let it be too late.
That's so true.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I love it.
I want to talk about women's health,
which is something that you and I have talked about at my kitchen table,
about perimenopause and menopause and how to get ahead of it,
you know,
and things that we can do to kind of help regulate our body naturally.
We have a huge audience in that age range,
and I would love to, like, just give them some insight on things that we can do.
to just be prepared and to help regulate it.
Well, I'm at that age.
You know, I remember the first time I saw my mom have a hot flash,
and I'm like, you've been working out.
You're just, Sunday, you didn't work today.
And I remember those conversations and I remember her telling me about it,
but I also remember the conversation with my dad,
and I asked him about my grandmother, his mom.
Oh, she didn't have those.
And I'm like, you sure?
And she did.
He may not have seen him.
She probably like, so my questions, the wheel start turning.
I'm like, okay, so you're telling me that there's some experiences that women don't tell men.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
But I feel like they need to know to help to better understand.
Exactly.
And I'm glad we're at the time that we need to talk about it.
I'm at that age now and I look at things and go.
Some of the things that are important is knowing if you're in pari menopause, okay, here's some things
that I like to take out of people's diet when I meet them,
the processed sugar, heavy salt, heavy carbs.
I need to take those away.
And alcohol, I love to take out fried foods.
I start there.
You notice I didn't say meat first.
You did not.
Yeah.
Wow.
We'll get to that.
Okay.
Because in really short instances, when you add sugar really quick, you'll feel it.
When you add salt really quick, you'll feel it.
Your kidneys are not processed, and you have so little of water.
hydration. Do you know when you go into the hospital? The first thing they give you as an
IV, you know why? 90% of the people are dehydrated. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. As I think of my water.
Yeah. So you get in this I being like, stop sticking something in my arm. And then after about
now, you go, hey, why am I feeling better? Y'all didn't do nothing. Yes, they did. They did something
you didn't do. Yes. They did something you didn't do. Hydration. So now they're telling you
about what you're doing to your body. They're saying you're not showing up the way you should.
Right. They're saying that you need to do better out there.
They're sending you home with a list of medications, and then they have lifestyle changes.
And all, do you know what lifestyle changes are?
Your lifestyle is wrong.
And you need to do better so you don't have to see us and spend this money.
Yeah.
But just in case you end up in that position where hormones is the thing, I love chickpeas.
I love birdar, I love Valerian root.
I love, and these are things that I know that can help me control and maintain my hormonal level,
but also mood swings also flashes also but also I look at people and go you know
how much do we spend on moving activity is so important so important I don't think we do
so I had to talk to a 40 year old Kelly some years back and say okay get out your car
and walk down the block before you go in the house wow just go you know you got to do it I've
been walking all my life you know how to do it yeah and that's one thing my father taught me
when we would talk, we would walk and talk.
But I realized he wasn't smoking.
First, he knew I couldn't take it.
But the second was, he says, I did that because it releases endorphins that I need to think and it gives you oxygen.
And so I adopted it.
And I remember that wasn't until 40 until it clicked.
And I realized this master class that he taught me, it was a behavior driven.
It wasn't a talk.
It was total behavior.
Right.
It was the prayers of my mom.
That was behavior.
it was all behavior driven so I had to pay attention yeah yeah that's amazing
we also talked about womb health and if people who are trying to get pregnant or want to get
pregnant also your diet plays a part in that as well your diet plays a part in everything you do
but your wounds for women those things that I just mentioned to you about the red raspberry
I love papaya I love a calm woman yeah to talk to how do we get you calm I never go with herbs
and stuff first.
What makes you calm?
Right.
No, really, what makes you calm?
Yeah, I'm trying to think.
What makes it calm?
Honestly, I feel like I'm most calm, like when I'm in solitude, when I'm at home, just
chilling and not thinking about everything that I have on my list.
Time with friends and family, loved ones.
I'm calm in those spaces because I think those people make me the most comfortable
because I'm always on guard when I'm not with them.
If I'm around strangers, I'm always on guard.
So that causes inflammation.
Cortisol levels go up.
A1C, sugar goes up.
You won't get pregnant like that.
You understand.
You see how we build a wall.
And if we cannot be balanced in every situation that we sit in,
that means we got work to do.
But when you are feeling love, when you are feeling supported,
when you're not at a lack of these things,
your wound opens right up.
So that means there's some things you're going to have.
have to have you know conversations about with yourself yeah what do i need yeah to be a piece
how and that's the first it's not i can give you all the suggestions in the world but until you know
the book of you we we can't start right yeah wow i saw something where um they were saying
because everybody's on this ozimic wave and all these shots to lose weight and um i saw
a news article that was saying that
people who have been taking shots
their pregnancy rates went up and you just
touch on that because when your cortisol levels and your A1C
levels are high, literally when you say I was like
There you go. It's a body science.
Yes.
I'm not saying anything that your body ain't right.
You get it.
I get it. Yeah, when you said that it clicked,
I was like, wow, that's why people are getting pregnant.
And there's this moment, you realize
something that you can teach another woman just now
and I appreciate you for getting that because
someone needed to hear that. Thank you.
Yeah, absolutely.
For bringing that out.
you yeah that's what's up this is how we learn yes your energy is dope like I'm just going across
here like you see I haven't even flipped the card I'm like this is a conversation this is what's
up but you bring all that down you can naturally do it but it takes you some time and my biggest
celebrity of the garden let me explain something okra can level the blood sugar like no other wow now
not fried okra because see I'm from the south I love me a deep fried okra baby that's what's up
now I hear that because it's
It's not about the slimy okra.
Like my mom loves it.
I get you.
Yes.
Yeah.
I don't like the slime either.
People don't realize.
I don't.
And I love okra so you know what I do.
Well, you do.
How do you get the slime?
Wash it.
Mm-hmm.
I chop it up.
Chop it.
I chop it.
Because when you keep it whole, it's, yeah.
There you go.
Uh-uh.
Stop it.
Like a little bit of stuff fried just a little.
Uh-huh.
Throw it on top of a salad.
Okay.
I eat it in the morning.
Okay.
So I did a test on myself.
I tell people, you know, it doesn't take much to learn how to use a
glucometer to check your own blood sugar
or a blood pressure cuff. You've got these
right at home. You test your own urine. You ain't got
to be a nurse or a doctor. You just got to be
interested.
Yeah,
that's it.
You don't have to be a nurse or a doctor. You just got to be
interested, okay? Are you interested? Because I am.
I'm so curious.
And I love your point about those GLP's
and you know after a while they stopped working.
Because you depended on him.
or GLP to make you who you want to be.
You left you out.
Come on.
So when I have reoccurring clients who I see and they have me come back,
they go, well, I was on GLP and I had your die, but then the GLP stopped working.
I said, did you keep the diet?
Well, no.
Okay, wait.
Wait, wait.
You're made of natural, you know, composition.
You were made by God in the most natural way.
And you're going to tell me that you were depending on the GLP to get you through.
No, baby, you don't get to go around life.
But getting rid of that sugar needs to be understood.
So that's why knowing the truth about yourself is a beautiful thing.
It's an ultimate goal.
It is a superpower you have got to tap into because not only going to change your life,
you're going to change everybody who you talk to.
You are super dope when you get to know yourself.
Your character is now built.
So you can't buy that in a bottle.
You can't shoot that in your arm.
You can't buy it at the store.
Character is built.
Yeah.
And you build it through your diet and knowing yourself.
Yes.
That's how you know your stuff.
That's so good.
That's so good.
You said something earlier about diseases can't live in a, they throw up acidity?
Yes, they love acid.
Oh, yes.
Sugar.
Yes.
What about the fruits that are acidic?
Oh, my gosh.
Yes.
So there's some balances of fruits.
Like I said, when they have a seed, I love Georgia.
At the Georgia, Florida line, they have gold.
They got gold over there.
They got these watermelons, the original watermelons with the original seeds.
How far is that, Palana?
Girl, we ain't far.
I go, listen.
Wow.
Let me go pick you up one.
Yeah, we can go together.
Okay.
Take me to Georgia, Florida.
It's the Georgia, which line?
Georgia, Florida line.
Wow.
There's a lot of growers out there that I know and love.
Wow.
You got to get to know yourself.
I got to know where my food is.
It's like a scavenger hunt sometimes.
I bet.
But those alkaline products, those seeded,
Those are the ones that get you through.
Wow, the seeded ones.
Okay.
The original.
The original.
Oh, geez.
The O.
That's the watermelon.
Lemons with seeds, not the lemons without them.
Now, lemons are.
Now, let's just talk about lemon and pineapple.
Okay, let's just do it.
Let's talk about that because I, yeah, I got some nothing pineapple.
All right.
So let's just talk about it.
So if I cut your arm open with a razor blade.
Ouch.
And I put lemon in it.
What happens?
Okay.
Now, if I take, I give you some pineapple.
Mm-hmm.
And I just slit the sides of your mouth.
just a little bit, and I just keep giving it to you.
What happens?
I don't know if pineapple burns the way...
Someone said it.
What is what I say?
It's sting.
It'll sing too?
Okay.
It burns.
I didn't realize...
So what is that?
I didn't have pineapple's aesthetic like that.
Yeah, so what is that?
Oh, acid.
There you go.
Yes.
So what do you think is doing at your cellular level
at the softest tissue on the outer side of you?
Yes.
So what do you think?
So when you add, lemonade is good to taste, but I like lime-made because it's
alkaline because it doesn't kill like if you add that um lemon to it now you're adding acid so
does it kill all the properties now lemons do yeah you it's just basic science so
lemon is an acid and there are foods that are acids like sugar think about it let's talk
about it i love sugar you have beautiful teeth baby i don't know that i'm addicted to the cop drops
those lozenges sugar cane but if you want if we both want to keep our teeth yeah then our dentist
will tell us what to take away first.
Sugar.
Why?
Because it breaks down the enamel.
It breaks down what?
The enamel is the hardest, what?
Part of the tooth to protect it.
You didn't even have to go to school.
You just have to pay attention.
So what does that tell you about your diet?
Every time you sit with sugar.
Every time you sit with sugar, what are you doing?
And it is coursing through all of our veins at this point.
They use it, you know, sugar is also used as a preservative.
so food can travel across you know it's used in making french fries that make them last longer
and fast food it's used for everything it's in everything wow yes it's used to do a whole bunch of
stuff but it's not used to make you better it's not and now there's studies which i'm sure
they've always known this but now say it's showing that sugar feeds cancer like they
thrive off of it it's been that for years now when they chose to you know or when we found it
necessary to know you know it's always affected yeah the dentist told us sure did yeah how did we
miss from the dentist to the the dining table right what happened oh my goodness we happened we
happened we didn't show up so you know instead of maybe television time or movie how about if
we talk about some things about health about our children if we say we love them or we feeding them
well you know discipline comes in different ways but you know the bible's very clear about that if
you don't love your kids, you know, if you love your kids, rather, you discipline them.
And it didn't mean just, you know, tell them right from wrong, it's true, but did you tell them
about their diet?
Yeah.
Did you leave that out?
Yeah.
If you leave that out, then the whole rest of the journey can be kind of interesting because
mental health right now is at an all-time high.
It is, yes.
But what else has changed?
The ultra-processed foods also.
COVID did a number on these kids.
It really did.
Yes.
More processed foods.
nobody walked nobody did anything but eat and sit in front of the TV television so what do you think
it did for health oh decline yeah I can imagine man man oh man A1C people went up in all sort of numbers it was
crazy I gained so much weight during that time and then they were sick with COVID it's just like
it was amazing but the carbs went everything and then depression went up yeah these kids can't win
unless we help them get to know
the natural truth about themselves.
Kids can't win.
I always, my brother and
my sister, they both have young
children and I don't have any kids
but I'm always sending them information.
Like, make sure you, I see what they're feeding.
My sister, she works in the health field.
So she's more mindful and cognizant
of it, but my nephew, he eats
everything. And I was like, well, make sure
because this has an emphasis
on their mind in ADHD, like what you're feeding
them. Like this.
can it can help it or it can help it or it can make it worse and um i was like make sure you're
not feeding a bunch of processed foods macdonalds every day um freezer foods like those
stuff you just pop in the microwave um little things like that so i always send little things
like hey make sure he's not eating this foods with dyes in it because i'm seeing all these things
but i'm like i don't have a kid so how can i share it with the people that i know
I like how you're sharing.
Most times when I feel like I want to say something to someone and I can't use words, my behaviors lead.
So I'll make your fruit salad and bring it to you.
If you ever want to show up in someone's life, show up in someone's life.
You can text.
You can punk out and text, but if you show up with just your arms out, your hands open,
ready to receive
and ready to get
you're giving God something to bless
you know a lot of people don't really know God
they think they do but I try to introduce it through his best
and that's
that's his vegetables see when you talk to me
I want you to know God's best I'm here as a representative
I know my assignment and I like it
and that came from where
a sick man who wanted to know better
and I thank him and I thank my mom
she was a praying woman and he was a farmer.
Yeah. And I love it. I love what I got and I'm going to use it.
But we all have that choice. We couldn't, you know, in life, I think we couldn't control
what happened to us before this moment. We couldn't control where we were born, what
problems we went through. But you know what, baby girl, we can control that ending.
We sure can. We can curate something so beautiful. And it all starts with how we see ourselves
and how we want to see our future. You can't see it.
pretty clear if your diet is all cloudy and crazy and holy and unhealthy.
Yeah, no, for sure.
That is so good.
Oh, my goodness.
Earlier we were talking about how your dad talked about fasting.
Yeah.
And I've seen the importance of fasting.
Like, in church, we do the Daniels fast, and we fast for Lent and all those things.
But there are ways to literally heal your body from the inside out just from fasting.
Yeah.
What are some of your favorite ways to fast that really just reset your body?
I love three-day reset.
I wanted to talk about that.
Yes.
Okay.
Three day.
Okay, so you got to start at five days.
You got to break your diet down, especially if you just eat a traditional diet, which
means anything you regularly eat.
So you go from eating that to now doing semi-solids to now liquids.
And when you get to that third day, now you're just doing water.
What's a semi-solid?
Semi-solids are like things that don't require a lot of chewing.
Yeah.
So, you know, those kind of things are important.
So because you're breaking your brain down to understand, okay, I'm taking away something and it's now understand, okay, we're not getting as much sugar and acid.
What are we doing?
Yeah.
So I like to break it down by that three days, you get to that water, you know, you break it down from solids to semi-solidst to water or liquids down to water.
But if you break it down like that, it's easier for the body to understand because we are the sum of our experiences, whether it's trauma or joy or love.
we are the sum and so your brain needs you to go from one state to another with some ease
love yourself enough to say hey listen I want to get in this journey in a way that you
understand yeah when have you done that have you loved a man more than you loved yourself oh yeah
I did it definitely it was whack and then I realized I got to get back to me yes yeah we always
get to that moment's like what am I doing but we love and we massage your relationship but how much time
and patience have we put into loving ourselves.
Wow.
So when I do that five, that three day, by the time I break it down, my body's like, okay,
no less sugar, no, no salt, okay, what are we replacing it with?
So when I'm doing a three day fast, after that three days, man, oh man, now I like people
to start that kind of thing at home.
Don't try to work and do a whole bunch of, do it on off days.
So start slow and start with one day.
Okay.
Then to two, then to three.
My father used to do 40.
I can't, I still can't do 40.
I'm not going to push it.
It's not that I can, I got, I am not Dr. Xavier.
I didn't get to.
I have his daughter.
I am not him.
40 days.
I loved him for that.
And I used to watch him.
He was on the Jesus tip.
Baby, I love that for him.
But what was his journey with God?
Yeah.
What was his journey?
Yeah.
I got to watch, but what is mine?
Right.
I can't be in his lane.
I got to.
That's real.
Got to be looking at mine.
Yes.
How am I building Kelly up?
So the most I've ever done was 20 days.
But then you've got to build it back up.
You just can't run the burgers.
You'll make yourself sick.
Right.
Because once you clean out, even after a three-day, the energy level comes up.
You're starting the process of your organs healing itself.
Wow.
People don't realize that's a whole thing.
It's a whole thing.
It's a whole goal to get your body balance.
And you can do it.
But take time.
You know what I guess?
I think we should do a three-day fast.
with Dr. Savie's daughters
by keeping positive
sweetie and like
and you kind of help us with the guidelines
of like how we should do it but we should do that
I think just as a community
we should fast
I love it even if it's just down to liquid
what you learn
and in that it's not just focusing on
just that because that's not the focus
the focus is taking away
all of that extra and I really believe
they're distractions
processed foods are distractions
once you take that
away. Who really are you? What really are you feeling? How close to God are you feeling? How
close to yourself are you? What's going on? You're probably just, your body's been waiting
for it. You don't even know how creative you're going to be. Oh my goodness. I love it. You are so
right because when I do fast just from things that are distracting, like one year I took like a month off
Instagram, which is a big distraction for me. When I tell you, it didn't have anything to do
with food, but just when you say fasting and
creatively, like, my brain
had so much space to think because I wasn't
like this all day. There you go.
You know? There you go. But I can imagine if I had
done that inside as well.
Oh, my goodness.
Look at that. Yeah. I like when people pull away
from social media because I want you to get to know
yourself. I'm not one to be
on it a lot. I think that there's a
time and a place for me to share
because I like to
balance out what I do because
my products don't come from China.
I am my manufacturer
I go get the herbs for you
I make sure that they're flown in for you
I'm processing them down
my goal is to ensure that
you have a healthy experience
with saving daughters
but this is the way
it was given to me
because people didn't realize that I was
going to say be sick as children
I had a heart condition
and still do
and he took care of me
my whole life now
Now, a third world country he's from, his brother had a heart condition like mine, and he died young.
And when they found out it was me, also, as I got older, yeah, because I would not let this happen to you.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So learning from that end as well.
So my tutorial was not just, you know, because he taught me it was to live.
Yes.
I am 53.
I'm grateful that he taught me how.
because now I didn't die at 10 or 12.
I'm 53.
Right.
And I appreciate him showing me that if I pay attention to myself, I can live a long life.
I don't think there's a person who doesn't understand that, you know,
when your parents give you guidance, please take it.
Yeah.
It may just save your life.
Absolutely.
Literally.
Yeah.
No, I can think of many times where as a child or a kid growing up,
the advice and the guidance my parents would give me,
I may have not understood it then, but as I became an adult, I was like, wow, this definitely saved my life.
Look at how much you saved someone life today with this time we're spending right now.
Oh, my gosh.
I appreciate you because we don't have much time left to get this right.
And a lack of knowledge will keep you with high levels of anxiety, but if you become knowledgeable, you feel very less.
Yeah.
You fear less things.
You don't run when, you know, you hear a diagnosis because you know where.
to go. Right. And that's the thing. You can't live with a lack of knowledge because all it causes
is anxiety. Yes. Yeah. And that's what it's what it causes. And I believe we're in an era right now
that people don't pull away from social media and they don't realize that's not a knowledge about
you. So there is a lack of knowledge about you. Yeah. You need to pull away and find like that space
that you found. It opens your mind up to beautiful things. Who are you without the internet?
Who are you without all the distractions, you know?
Like when you're in the shower and you take off,
I could take this makeup off my face, all the earrings,
and I am stripped naked with the running water.
Who the heck am I is my question?
Every day.
Yeah.
And if I'm not a better Kelly today than I was yesterday,
then I am wasting time.
Wasting time.
Yeah.
Goodness.
Oh, this is so good.
You talked about your business and how you source your own ingredients.
Where are some of the places that you get your ingredients?
And I know we talked about how some things take a very long time to make.
One of your favorites.
The Rose Shaybutter.
Oh, my God.
I got it on the day.
And you know why I stuck it in there?
Because you're healing.
You know, when I got a chance to meet you, I looked in your eyes and I'm like, I want to give her something that she's never had before.
Rose is the highest, I think the highest aroma, one of the highest aromas that we could have in the world.
It ranked so high.
And I wanted you to have a calm in the form of a jar full of goodness.
It gives me that, yes.
And I wanted you to know that I care enough about your experience to just give you an experience with me.
Yeah.
Give you my good girl moment through my product.
And that's safety daughters.
Yes.
That's what I was given and I don't know how to not share.
So that product line has to do with me sharing a part of love for you just as a
person who wants to do better yeah it take a long time to make girl i should be sundered for like
two thousand dollars i know literally when you said like just the shay butter alone is like five weeks
to make five weeks and i was like how much are you charging like you need this is like gold in a bottle
those organic rose petals uh you even have it in soap form over there i got it in soap form but
those organic uh petals are important so yeah um Honduras is where i get my product from
90 percent and then the other places where it's grown so you have
like St. Lucia is where I love going to get the product.
Like I love my, um, my jail.
Yeah.
Like my father, I always talked about Seymour.
So me being the curious daughter and, you know, like I said,
I wanted to go to nursing school to understand the medical.
Yeah.
And, uh, the natural together.
And so I just kept diving deep into where these places were that my father journey.
Right.
Where did he go?
And so that led me on a journey of cracking steps.
And it was from my diaries that I started at nine.
where he told me he'd be where he would go and I just kept going wow I've never shared that
before thank you you thank you yeah I've never shared that and I've just been on a journey
yeah just finding finding me finding him finding up because that's that's my ministry yeah
oh my goodness before we started talking we asked if your father's um it's like a camp in Honduras if it was
to there and you know the family still operates it yeah how often do you get to go there
I work so much as often as I can they call me sometimes like when you're coming home and I go I'm
coming you know how it's home yeah like wherever you're from you go okay yeah I'll get there
yeah but they you know we talk every week we talk all the time they'll send me
videos pictures like of the vegetables my oldest brother Tommy's growing or you know we all
stop through but what's the name of it can the Ushaville?
The Ushah Village, and can people still visit it?
Oh, yes.
Listen, that's the highest level of alkaline water that runs through.
It comes from volcanoes, and it runs right through the village.
When my father, it was in the 80s when it was being erected, I was pregnant with my son.
And that was so difficult, but it was, you know, it's such a beautiful place.
But how he has the water running through the village was important because we were eating the vegetables off of the land.
So why not have the water from the volcanic, that volcanic, that volcanic,
alkaline water come through and feed the vegetables like yo come on where do you get that from yeah yeah so
that was like uh his vision of what he wanted uh in a place of healing was big yeah like first what took him
to hondores you know like the he's oh he's originally from there okay i was like how did he get
there okay goodness yep my father was crazy yeah his mom yeah it was that's home yeah that's i was born in
California but right okay that's what I was trying to find the connection okay he got here and you know life
changed but it was because he wanted it to yeah oh my goodness how it changed was you know so
me following this journey I could not name my company anything else no it's perfect
babies daughters and we're all save these daughters I did I put S's on it because it's not just me
who I touch who they touch yes we're all a form of wanting to be healed and heal others yeah and that's
my safety way. That's how I lean
into it. That's my calling. That's
what I want to do. Because
in my last days, I'm curating
a life to where you remember me
in this way.
This is what you remember about Kelly
Bowman because my father wasted no time.
And I don't think that's
my journey to waste any time.
If I can help someone
understand them or someone, I don't care
what it is. We should all be, if we all
sat and helped each other, how well would we
be? Oh my goodness. How well
would we be? And how powerful would we be
if we're well together?
My girl. Oh man. Kelly, you have
I'm so happy. Like if we hadn't have had that conversation
in the kitchen, just talking about like, Crystal, what are you eating? How are you
feeling? What are you going through? This conversation
probably wouldn't have happened. So I'm so happy
you took time because you know a lot of times we're in a rush. That day you came in and
sat down. You know, and it meant so much that you would just come in and pour the knowledge
into me and really get to know me to help me become better, you know, because I do want,
like you said, I could tell you were healing. I started tearing up when you said that because
it's an ever-evolving part of me where I'm constantly healing and trying to shed certain things.
And I know that a big part of it is my diet, like until to this day I have a crutch.
Like when I'm feeling anxiety, like I tend to like lean towards the more processed foods, the comfort foods.
You know, so I'm glad we had this conversation today because I know it's going to help so many people.
It's helped the people in this room, so I know it's going to help so many people.
Before we get out of here, I do want to ask you, our word for this season is impact.
And the impact that your whole family has left on our community is huge.
What is the impact that you want to continue to carry as Kelly?
That's Kelly Bowman.
Yes.
The impact I would like to have on the world on,
just speaking from my journeys every day is one of love and humbleness one of such self-power
and progression I want to continue to make sure that my goal is to always support and be
available to whom I meet and don't meet I root for all people who want positivity
yeah that's the impact that I live with to know God at his best if you never walk into a church
and you look up into the sky you know God yeah you know the sun you know the grass yeah the
impact I want to leave as a legacy is that of good health and and and of pure love yeah
healing the healer is my biggest thing and and you know if I had to pray for some healing the healer
and all of us are healing and we're also healers.
So that's my impact.
I want to make sure that I'm supporting that whole movement of love.
I love it.
And you're doing it.
You are doing that.
You are.
And you're doing it with these amazing products.
I really want to get into this because I use so many of them.
I use the Yoni soap.
I use the Maya.
I use the tea.
What's the tea called?
The detox tea.
I use that.
And then the tea that's from Honduras and the tea bags.
Oh, yeah.
I start my mornings with that.
I do the elderberry plus.
I keep that with me everywhere I go.
And then I have the capsules with the elderberry plus and the sea moss.
And then I do the gel seat box.
That's what does.
So I have no excuse.
Like it's, you've made it somewhere like if I can't have the big jar with me
where I go, I can at least get in the capsules.
Yeah.
Monica's like that.
Yeah.
I think that was one of the things that was kind of interesting is that.
we was on the road so much and I was trying to make sure during COVID we never stopped working.
And I think trying to have liquids and then it was just too much and I, you know, I don't mind making stuff on the road.
But if I'm not with her, what does she have?
Right.
And each client is different, you know, how they travel.
But she needed a lot because she would be on the rope for months.
Yeah.
She needed a lot.
So I wanted to make sure that some of the things that I've created
was behind working with her during COVID.
It was so much fun.
She loves you, man, and she definitely is a great spokesperson.
Oh, even your shower.
Okay, I'm just going to tell everything.
Sinuses, the shower bombs.
Oh, the shower bombs.
So good.
And then your own, I don't say vapor up, I'll say vapor up.
Your own vapor up, the valve that you have is so good.
The south.
The south, yeah.
Let me shall I say in valve is something else.
We should do that in Honduras.
I was trying to mention.
mimic what happens like poppy would pull the eucalyptus off the trees six o'clock in the morning he knew
I'd get up as you know when I was there at about 738 he'd go throw the bush inside the
steam rooms yeah and he'd bang on the door shower's ready wow you get up and go yeah and I was
that that was really an interesting time but that feeling that I got from having my lungs open
and to just have that moment.
Sometimes that's the self-care.
That's the moment of self-care.
And so that's why I use the eucalyptus from Honduras
to mimic that for a shower here at home.
So everything that you see here, this is me.
Yeah.
This is how I keep it going.
So good.
So, yeah, the shower bombs are, that's my old to just my time with my father,
but my time with myself.
You know, and I think self-care is a big.
biggest thing it's a priority it's not a luxury it's a priority say it again yeah i mean how much time
you have your schedule is so busy and the shower the bathroom time is sometimes all we get
yeah yeah yeah that's so true my therapist always tells me when you get in the shower
give yourself a big hug there it is yeah love on yourself and make sure that you because a lot of times
we don't even like take time to be like okay there it is you know you're so right you are gonna be
okay we're gonna be okay we're gonna be okay yeah that self-hug
I do it a lot.
I'm so glad you said it.
But I throw my little shower bomb in there.
I turn on my little spa music.
I have a good cry or a good laugh or a good dance.
It all depends on what mood I'm feeling.
What I need to, as soon as I get out that door,
I already know I'm battling the world.
Yes.
And I'm taking me with me.
So I better be mentally stable enough to get through it.
Absolutely.
That is so true.
Yeah.
I recently, I've been taking your.
Elderberry Plus and the T's and the Maya and Seamoss Daily and this new wave of COVID came.
I was on set.
Remember, oh, this is another thing I love about you.
Like, I know my schedule is getting crazy and that's when I'm most susceptible to like catching the cold or anything.
And I called and I said, hey, I'm about to be traveling a lot.
I'm about to go to work and I need a re-up.
Can you like put me a care package together?
You're like, absolutely.
You got it right to me.
And when I started taking your supplements, I literally had, I,
didn't get sick. Sinuses, usually every sinus season. When allergies come, I'm sneezing.
It's just really bad. Didn't, nothing. Like, literally, I was like, this is really working.
It was crazy. And then the new wave of COVID came. And usually, like, I've caught him COVID,
like, two or three times. Like, I get it, but, like, it doesn't take me down. It's not like a,
oh, God, like I got it. It's just, I feel like a cold. But one time I had this, like,
hacking cough for like a month and I was like I went to the doctor I was like when is this going
away like I couldn't even talk it was like talk like and literally coughing like it was just
all in my lungs and this time I did I caught it again but like no cough like it went away just like
that yeah he's so good but it's like natural it's he already gave us what we needed to fight it
so you know they're giving us these vaccines and like literally like I literally like felt a little
post nasal drip and I was like all taking
to the sinuses and then I had like
one day where I like felt just a little achy
and I was like I just need to rest
and then after that like literally felt
100% but I just kept like
elderberry plus every day
yeah he didn't leave anything
out he didn't not your
food nothing he gave you
something that is complete these are
whole foods that are in these bottles
and jars and you know it's funny
because people don't realize that
I love sound bath I love
sound bath music and so i do it over my product i pray over this product i'm hoping that it gets to
somebody and they use it for the you know reason that i made it yeah for you to feel better yeah
and when you feel better you do that you know i think that's the cool part about life is that we
can add to an experience of another another person if we just try yeah god'll meet you the rest of the
way just put that first foot forward he'll bless your efforts he sure he bless his efforts and so by you
telling me that I appreciate it because that helps me to do better with what I'm doing.
No.
That also tells that inner side of you, you're healing.
Yes.
You're routinely healing.
And that's what I want for you.
Yeah.
I never started my mornings off like this.
Appreciate you.
The way I do now is like it's like it's a ritual.
Like I go into my refrigerator.
I grab my Seamoss.
I grab my Maya.
My tea, my elderly plus my detox feels.
I'm like, all right, let's go.
And I make my tea in the morning.
It's like it's a part.
Yeah, it's part of my day.

A huge thank you to Kelly Bowman for not only continuing the legacy of Dr. Sabie,
but for making wellness something that we can actually access, understand, and live.
Sis is out here helping us heal ourselves, and that's the kind of impact that runs deep.
If today reminded you of anything, let it be this.
Your health is not a luxury. It's your foundation, and you deserve to thrive.
So until next time, keep it kind, keep it whole, and of course, keep it positive, sweetie.
