Starting point is 00:00:00 I'm going to be honest with you, this podcast is unapologetically a hot mess because that is what midlife feels like sometimes. Why, though? And how do we make it better? Do we all just need facelifts and JLP ones? I mean, let's talk about it. No bullshit, no wellness wangery here because we're trying to make real change and change is hard. But we're in this together. Welcome to the Living Method podcast. Hey there, before we get into our conversation today and no doubt it's going to be great, I want to remind you. you that we have the most amazing weight loss program and maintenance program on the market. And our next live session for the fall is on sale right now. But if you don't want to wait until the fall, you can sign up today by joining our membership. For more information, go to liby method.com. And happy Wednesday. I am here all by myself. Odette is off this week. But I'm here. I'm here.
Starting point is 00:00:59 I had a great chat last night with our Ask Me Anything. I love our Ask Me Anything. I love our Ask Me Anything. things. Sessions. There's so much good stuff and great conversation comes out of that. Of course, if you can't join us, lab, we always do repost those. Those are in the guides. We are working on week nine. So I just actually had a conversation. So Kim came and joined me weight loss program. Obviously, they're following the same tweak, totally different intention. But one of the, one of the questions that I got was that someone feels like they're eating way more food with the snack. change. And so I just want to be very clear when it comes to the snacks. You have a lot more flexibility, which is really great, especially this time of year. Like, if you want to have fruit twice,
Starting point is 00:01:41 I mean, you can have fruit with breakfast. Obviously, you just want to make sure it's focused on protein. You can also add fruit to lunch, like berries on a salad and fruit to dinner. If you want to do like grow cute, um, technically cucumbers are a fruit. So I guess that was correct. But if you want to have like grilled pineapple or something at dinner, you can also add more fruit to So you can do fruit in the morning. For example, and you can also do fruit in the afternoon if you want. In the summertime, we do want to decrease those heavier carbs and bump up the fruits. Really quickly digested, really easy energy, especially when you're caught.
Starting point is 00:02:17 But it's not more. So for example, you're not taking, let's say you were having like an apple, like the same size apple for your fruit snack every day or like a bowl of berries, right? Whatever size berries that was. So you are now not adding protein and fat to that apple. or to that same serving of berries, right? So if you were eating the whole apple and feeling satisfied, you might want to cut that in half and then add protein and fat to go with that, right?
Starting point is 00:02:44 If you were having a bowl of berries, you might want to use less berries and then add the protein and fat. So you're not adding protein and fat to what was already that portion of fruit. So this is where you really do want to be making sure you're asking those four sets of mindful eating questions and eat just enough in the moment that you're walking away feeling satisfied. The same thing in the afternoon. We talk about the easiest way to navigate that is combine both what was your veg snack with your nut and seed snack if you were just having veggies.
Starting point is 00:03:15 A lot of people were having veggies plus adding a boiled egg or some protein and fat or like guacamole or hummus as a dip, right? So you were already doing that. So you could just have that one snack as is. Or you could just obviously have the nuts and seeds too, but you're down to one snack. If you did combine them, you're not taking what was the full size of your nut and seed snack with the full size of your veg snack and now having double the portion. So when it comes to the portions, you do want to make sure you are eating just enough in the moment that you're walking
Starting point is 00:03:47 way feeling satisfied. Someone also asked about, you know, the routine, like the body loves routine. They said to me, you know, you always talk about how the body loves routine and my body's gotten used to eating six times a day. And so don't we want to stick with that routine? So the living method is progressive, whether you're doing the weight loss version or the maintenance version. And so one, the week before is the setup and the lead up to the next week. And then the following week is building on what you did the previous week. So this is where no one needs to be eating six times a day. Your body's actually designed for you to take time in between. So after about 90 minutes after you eat food, migrating motor complex kicks in, and this is, you know, the system that is like a self-cleaning
Starting point is 00:04:32 oven, if you will, for your digestive system and make sure the food goes to where it needs to go. So your body actually needs that time without food. Now, there was a rhyme and a reason as to why we're eating so often. Eating six times a day is very digestively stimulating for the body. It has you eating smaller portions more often, which keeps your insulin levels a lot lower. Smaller portions are easier to digest, easier to get the nutrients from. those vegetables after your larger lunch, help to process and digest your larger lunch. There's a rhyme and a reason to all of that.
Starting point is 00:05:04 But we do want to phase you off into where you're eating more in tune. So that's what's coming up in the next couple weeks is where you're checking in at every single meal and snack time and assessing if you're hungry, you need to eat what's the best thing, which is like still protein at breakfast, right? You don't want to go too long without eating. Like you're not adding in anything new.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Or you could eat. So maybe you're not your little, hungry so you have something something or you should eat because you're going to go too long without eating right so so where the routine really comes in with that basic food plan and why we just drill it home so much is that there will come a time where you're no longer losing obviously because you're in the maintenance group you're no longer maintaining your weight you are just living your life and that is where for example if i if i go off on vacation eat my face off come back feel bloated and just kind of oh my god ate too much drank too much just didn't get sleep whatever my weight is up
Starting point is 00:05:56 I'm going to follow the basic food plan back on track. So back on track refers to the basic food plan. And that same reason why it's effective for weight loss is the same reason it's going to help you get back to feeling your best. So that routine, it's become so ingrained that your body just knows exactly what to do. Oh, yeah, here's what we are doing. Okay, I'm getting all this food coming in. You know, I can, I don't need to hold on to this excess fat or, you know, it helps get rid of that backlog. So in a sense, we are using that sense of routine to create familiarity with that basic food plan so that once you're done, maintaining your weight actively and just living your life.
Starting point is 00:06:35 And that looks like wake up, look good, feel good, just go about your day trusting when to eat what to eat. That's the goal. That's how I live my life. Every now and then I do jump on and follow the program, which I am doing now, for example, just to kind of get back to feeling my best. I get off the rails, chippies, wine, just long periods of time without eating, just all of that. I just don't feel great. Then I'm like, all right, let's go.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Let's follow the food plan. Let's follow the program so that I can get back to feel like best. In this case, I'm also trying to combine it with exercise and whatnot. I want to feel better than I have in a really long. Right? So that routine. Having a problem with the morning protein,
Starting point is 00:07:11 I love cheese and know that I'm eating too much. Right. So if you think you're eating too much cheese or too much nut butter, you probably are. And although 30% of your diet should be fat, right? So 40% carbohydrates, it's 30% protein and 30% fat. A lot of protein also contains fat.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And of that fat, you want to have the majority of omega-3. So this is where if you're not supplementing, it can be problematic or you're not having, you know, fish two to three times a week. You're probably not getting omega-3. Omega-3 is anti-inflammatory. And when you're going through menopause and your estrogen, which is anti-inflammatory, starts declining and decreasing,
Starting point is 00:07:48 you want to make sure you're helping the body with that inflammation. so omega-3 is so important. Cellular health, brain health, would have enough good fat coming in. Your body's reluctant to let go of fat. Then there's your omega-6s and your omega-9. And so the problem is saturated fat isn't a bad fat. So a fat that comes from meat and dairy, for example, not a bad fat, it turns into a good fat when you have enough of the great omega-3s. The problem is when the majority of your fat is coming from omega-6s, that can cause inflammation. So if you've ever heard people talking about seed oils and how seed oils are so bad for you.
Starting point is 00:08:20 It's not that they're bad for you. There's actually some benefits in seed oils. It's just that when the majority of your fat is coming from seed oils, that's problematic. And seed oils are very abundant, right? So I'm having a problem with the morning protein. I love cheese and know that I'm eating too much. So looking for ideas to add protein to my morning snack.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Also, I usually have eggs for breakfast, but lately I haven't wanted them in the morning. So I'm tending to go with yogurt or cod cheese. So you could try a combination of like scrambles, some eggs with some cottage cheese, right? And then have that as your scrambled eggs. So you are having less cottage cheese. You're still combining with the eggs and you're bumping up that protein. Also, if you have any like red meat from like a steak the night before, that can make for, or turkey, for example, or chicken even, that could make for great protein at breakfast. But we tend
Starting point is 00:09:08 not to think of even fish, right? We tend not to think of meats or fish or whatever as kind of breakfast foods, but you can totally add those. This is also, Judy, where you might want to consider adding in protein powder, right? Protein powder can be really beneficial. You don't have to make a smoothie with a shit ton of fruit. You can grab a protein powder, just kind of whiz it up with some water. If you do want to add a little bit of fruit, also some good fats in there as well, some, you know, Udo's oil or Lica, which is a combination, 369 oil, flax.
Starting point is 00:09:39 You can add in there. MCT oil, for example, you can add in there as well. That's where you can add a little bit of kind of protein. shake on the side, not in replacement of your breakfast, but in addition to your breakfast, try peanut powder. Yeah, lots of protein less fat. Yeah, so peanut powder is really great too. Lisa Steinberg talks about using that quite often where you're getting the protein,
Starting point is 00:10:05 but you're not getting the saturated fat part of that to go along with that. So that can be a great comment. Well, I always add egg whites and cottage cheese. Yeah, so fluffy. I throw in whatever I have. spinach, sweet potatoes, whatever. Yeah, I love that, right. I've been adding some protein powder to my morning chia seeds with yogurt, hemp seeds and a bit of fruit. That works too. I love like overnight chia seeds. So you just put in some protein powder with your water with your chia seeds or
Starting point is 00:10:31 whatever you want to use. Coconut water works also really well with your chia seeds. And then, you know, throw some nuts and seeds and some berries on them in the morning. That's absolutely delicious, right? And I think this is sort of where like the monotony of the food plan sometimes, you can feel a little bored with it, but there's a lot that you can do and sort of switching up the kinds of foods that you've been consuming. So that's also a reason why I love this week is it does get you thinking a little outside of the box of what can I do to go a little bit higher in protein and kind of really focus on that nutrient value of the foods. Where is my friend of fun? I just had my post. Where do my notes go? Is it? Another thing that you can do to get in is think
Starting point is 00:11:14 about protein, plant protein as well. That's one of the things we don't, we don't think is as much of. And we had that post like proteins, carbs and fats where plant protein is really great. Like we don't, we don't think of getting in that how it adds up. So everyone just thinks this like straight up protein, but protein absolutely adds up. Like for example, your afternoon snack, you want to bump up your protein. Use edamami beans, right? They're really great for a snack. I like them frozen, do them a little bit steamed. You can do them cooked or you can just try the straight up ones that are just the beans inside. So not the ones kind of in the pod. Also really effective. And it's a great idea just to get that protein in. There are things that
Starting point is 00:11:52 like everything has protein in it. Even fruit has protein in it. Not a lot of fruit. Avocado, for example, also has like a 5% protein or something. So protein adds up. Just a lot of times we're not talking about all the different sources where you're getting a minimal amount. All right. What does Odette want me to talk about? Do do do do do do do. Look at the second half of the week. What is planned? What can you plan for?
Starting point is 00:12:19 Clean space, clear mind. This is one of the things I started talking about last week about how just like the state of my bedroom. You know, if you think about your home as your wellness partner, is it setting you up for success? What does your fridge look like? Are your cupboards organized, right? Like, is that really helping you on your journey to be able to reinforce these changes
Starting point is 00:12:39 that you've made in your life? And I talked about my room in a sense that. It wasn't too long ago that I completely cleaned it, organized it, felt like a freaking rock star. It made my getting up and doing my morning workout so much easier. It made my evening routine so much easier. It just made my mind feel like amazing. And then of course, shit happens, right? I'm here, there and everywhere.
Starting point is 00:13:02 And then I've got stuff going on with one of my kids. And then, you know, we have this and that. And the next thing, and then stress is piling up. And next thing, you know, my clothes are piling up. My stuff is piling up. And it's not that I don't have time. It's not that I don't have time because I've, you know, watched five seasons of Game of Thrones in the last month.
Starting point is 00:13:20 I had the time. I just haven't had the capacity. Or is it just that my room became a reflection of what was going on in my mind? And then, of course, everything snowballs and it's chaotic. Then you just don't give a fuck. Where's the wine? Give you my chippies. I'll start again tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:13:37 And our weight journeys can be very similar. Our way journeys can be very similar. And this is where you can feel. like, okay, I'm like really supporting myself. I'm in a good groove. I feel great and maintaining my weight. Everything is wonderful. And then stuff hits you and piles up on you. And it's so easy to fall back into those old habits, right? And so our journey really is no different. We try to maintain and sustain a certain lifestyle and then stuff happens. We fall back into old habits. And we get back at it again. And the next thing you know, we feel like we're moving and regrouping, right? So what is
Starting point is 00:14:11 your space, how we keep our space does reflect how we are feeling or what's going on around us. We feel overwhelmed, stress, and maybe not even worthy of nice space and that thing. So what is your space? What is your environment saying, saying about you and doing for you? So that's one of the things that Ed wants us to talk about. Here's Carol. When I was working, my desk was always cluttered. Sign that I was overwhelmed. When I invited coworkers to my house for a nice dinner, they were shocked by how tidy and uncluttered my home is. Right? I feel this. I feel this. Like my desk is like, you should see it. I actually just had to clear it off because Tony came. We had a meeting. And so he was sitting at my desk. I'm like, let me like clear some space for you. But like,
Starting point is 00:14:55 it's chaos. It's chaos. Good. But this is also, this helps me realize where I'm at and not to be too hard on myself. Because this is where I'm juggling a lot. I'm trying to get my indigo book finished. It's going to go for pre-sale this weekend, which is really exciting. Indigo is putting it on its most anticipated. So it's going to be on sale for 30% off. I'll give you a link if you want to support and purchase it. It's basically a compilation of lifestyle tips. It's called Live Lighter in your body and your home and your mind. It's a beautiful gift that I'm a book that I'm hoping is a gift to people and creates a sense of community because we're going to do a big like cross-canada tour. But I have been my is I've been living in chaos trying to get it done.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Flat services are not my friend, says Sue. I did have an insight one. day when I realized I was keeping clothes that I wouldn't even donate. They were such raggedy shape. It's the clothing version of I am not a garbage can. So why am I keeping them? This is where the work that you've done to be self-aware in tune and keep your energy directed at yourself, not only puts you in tune with when to eat, what did eat, how much?
Starting point is 00:16:00 It puts you in tune with everything across the board. What works for you, what doesn't work for you. And you come to kind of see how you are showing up in the world. This may seem a little bit too much TMI and profound, but when my ex-husband was in the hospital and he was on his last days, in his last days, because he had been sick. So he had been sick for a majority of his life. When we were together, he got really sick, total organ failure. His cardiac output was like 19%. He was on dialysis for like the last 10 years of his life.
Starting point is 00:16:36 But he was in and out of hospitals. And he was just a bugger and so stubborn. And, you know, he just would go and be so sick you think he's going to die. And then he comes out and he's fine. And in the last couple days, he was like ready to go. He's like, he even asked for assistance to go because he was in so much pain. And I said, but there wasn't. And there was the whole thing.
Starting point is 00:16:57 There was a COVID breakout on the floor and it was the weekend. And it was like just not great timing for him. And the palliative care people were working. He was in the hospital because he couldn't go into. palliative care because of the COVID outbreak on the floor. And so I said to the palliative care person, I'm like, he just, I don't get it. Like he wants to go yet he seems to be hanging on. And she says, what was he like in life? Because she says, my experience working in palliative care is people kind of die the same way they lived. And they don't really, you don't really realize that. But when you see it,
Starting point is 00:17:31 you can't see it. And I said, well, he was pretty stubborn. He went into hospitals, came out of hospitals like he would just fight and that's the stubborn like well how is he now and I'm like oh my god he's the same way and that was a really profound moment for me where I think about that in my life right like how am I living my life am I resistant am I stubborn and my fighting like what is that so this is where you you see yourself in your life it just if you're not looking for it you can't see it and that's where being self-aware can help you with your journey and being understand what you need to do and on and focus on to maintain this lifestyle that you created for yourself. Right? You can, you can really see it. I also, see that giant fly flying. I'm a perjure. My hobby keeps everything.
Starting point is 00:18:21 It's a struggle. Christina, I am too. And you know what's interesting? My ex-husband also was like, he was like, he liked to keep stuff. He would like to keep, he liked to keep everything. And he called me clean out, drag out. And it got to the point where he just always said something about it. so I just stopped doing it and it kind of made me miserable because I like to have a clean space, clear space. I don't like stuff around. Like even on my back shelf, like this is a little bit more stuff than what, but it's all kind of really like meaningful stuff. But it's more than what I would like.
Starting point is 00:18:52 And it got to a point where it made me feel bad to clean out, clear out my space. But it made my mind feel so amazing. And he was like, well, I like, I like stuff and I like things. And I was like, I don't. And I also believe that you need to make room for new things in your life. Right. So I get your struggle with this. I get your struggle.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Spirals, zucchini, tomatoes, watermelon, canolae, beans, mint, parsley, simple dressing, very yum. Oh, what is that? That sounds absolutely delicious. That sounds really good, really good. I want to make that. I did a watermelon. So there's a watermelon salad that I like. So it is watermelon.
Starting point is 00:19:32 It is arugula. So it's a rugula. And watermelon. red onion, fresh basil, and mince with olives. Olives, like the brown olives, not the green or the black olives. Absolutely delicious. One of my favorites I made it the other day. It was so good.
Starting point is 00:19:51 It was so good. What are you talking about? Feeling the effects of the revamp. So this is one of the things that happen is that people are adding protein to their already existing fruit, for example, or they're adding two portions for their one snack. be mindful of portions. Or, for example, they are making your lunch. People will make the lunch the way they used to. So the same amount of vegetables, the same leafy greens, same carbs if you're adding, but then add more protein. Does not take the same lunch and bump up the protein.
Starting point is 00:20:23 It's make sure the protein is the focus. So if you're making protein the focus, that will probably mean less vegetables at lunch, right? So this is where you can really easily start to feel like you've eaten too much, feeling a little bloated. And people like, oh, it's the high protein. Usually it's because of the portion. So make sure you're in tune and really asking those four sets, some mindful eating questions. It can also change.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Any slight change in your diet can change what's going on in your bowel movements as well. And that's not a bad thing. That's not a bad thing. Protein can be a little bit harder to digest, obviously. It doesn't mean don't eat it, but you might be noticing a bit of a change there. With that, overeating components. Yep, this is where you can also reassess what you are eating. So change up your protein and fat sources.
Starting point is 00:21:10 Add in more plant. Here's a comment. Definitely feeling the cravings for cool, crisp veggie salads. Yeah. So this is where in the summer you crave fresher foods. Like you crave, this is where you want to decrease heavier carbs. Bump up the easier. Bump up the fruits.
Starting point is 00:21:24 They are much easier, especially it's hot. When you're hot, the body doesn't want to have to work hard. Digestion creates a lot of heat. So bump up that fruits. Make it easier for you. you definitely craving for cool crisp veggie salads. I'm having salad to up my protein since meat isn't appealing right now. It may try alternative proteins like tofu or tempe.
Starting point is 00:21:41 So a week of experimenting new foods, don't forget sprouts. Spouts are also really great for bumping up the protein content. Especially when they're fresh, they taste absolutely delicious. They can add a little bit of a spice to your leafy greens or to your salad. So sprouts are a great way to get all sunflower seeds on there. you get some sprouts on there, maybe put some out of mommy on there, right? So there's ways to bump up your protein content just naturally there. Here's one from Barb.
Starting point is 00:22:11 I'm noticing a slightly more satisfied feeling throughout the day and adding protein to my morning sack and making protein the focus at lunch. Also a slightly lighter feeling after dinner with veggies being the focus. Yes, I haven't changed the amounts of food I'm eating just following the tweak. I always do my workouts right after dinner, so this light feeling totally helps. Right. And so that's the offset, protein, protein, protein, protein for the day. And then those veggies help give you a bit of an insulin spike, which in the minimalist ways of possible,
Starting point is 00:22:38 which can also help with sleeping at night. Right. So there's a rhyme. There's pros and cons to different ways of eating. Right. There's pros to protein before bed. There's pros to more carbohydrate dates before bed. So this is where when we move into our next week, personalizing the plan, which is still very much following the program,
Starting point is 00:22:58 this is where at dinner time, if you are hungry, like, let me check in at dinner. I'm actually hungry. No. Okay, well, I've eaten enough throughout the day. I'm good. Right? Unless you want to be mindful that you're not going to get too hungry later and lead to snacking. Or what am I hungry for? Yes, I'm hungry. What am I hungry for? And this is where you might be more prone to want to have some more protein at dinner or you might want to go something like more veggies at dinner. And that's where you're getting in tune to that different. So what are you learning? Now, there was a benefit for higher protein up into this point, right? There's a benefit to that basic food plan and and and going protein at breakfast and your have in your majority of your carbs, especially by way of veggies and whatnot at lunch. But this is where when we move into the last couple weeks of the program personally plan, this is where you might be, you know what, I think it works much better for me when I when I do more vegetables, um, as my last meal rather than focusing on that protein. So I love that you're picking up on this. Love that you're picking up this. Um, self-regulation is one of the things that we're focused on this week. And this is is like that awareness piece, right? That awareness piece and self-regulation, the goal is not to avoid
Starting point is 00:24:03 challenges, but to bounce back quickly. Yeah, that's exactly it, right? Here's a comment. Our daughter's getting married Friday. I know it'll be tricky to do all the things, but I can get my water in and listen to morning check-ins. Just probably my best. Okay, first of all, the fact that your daughter's getting married is very exciting. We do not want to be stressing about what we're eating, but we do want to feel our best. And so this is a situation where what would we have done before, go all day long without eating because we're busy. We want to feel good in our dress. But then what happened? is you don't eat all day. It's going to affect your energy. And then when it comes to eating at night, you're going to eat even the smallest amount of your meal. And because your digestive system is understimulated,
Starting point is 00:24:39 you're going to feel bloated. You're going to feel bloated. You're going to feel bloated. You're going to feel bloated. You're going to feel bloated. Rather than going in with your energy levels high all day, your digestive system stimulated, and you're ready to party and have a great time. So what you're going to do is end up just like taking a massive dip in energy by the time you replenish. and you get that dinner in, right? Your insulin is up too high. Your digestive system is understimulated. Then you're going to have a crash.
Starting point is 00:25:05 You're going to feel bloated and you're going to feel tired. And that's the last thing that you're going to want to do at your daughter's weather. So I love the attempt of just trying to do the things that you can do. You might not be able to do all the things, get your snacks and all that. That's okay. That's okay. But you're going to try to get your water in, right? You're going to try to stimulate that digest.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Keep your energy levels up. Get the digestive system stimulated and have the best freaking time. time ever. And of course, let's say it's this weekend this Saturday. You want to go in feeling your best. So making that attempt, if maybe you have like a rehearsal dinner, right, and you're having a couple glasses of wine, watch the bites of bits at night. Try to like maybe forego those a little bit. If it gets a little late, like past nine o'clock, try to stop your eating at eight, eight 30, you know, try to keep it as early as possible. Maybe throw in a probiotic prebottom, maybe throw in some digestive bitters that are going to help try to drink a little extra water with that wine. So you feel your
Starting point is 00:25:57 best the next day, right? This is that you can absolutely have your cake and eat it too or enjoy this summer. Okay, that's it for me. Thanks for joining me. It's nice to feel like I was alone. I don't know what Odette's doing. I know when she's working on a celebration of life for her sister that passed away. I think last was it last month, week six of the program. So not too long ago, actually, here we are in week nine. My goodness. So she's working on that. But She will be back. We will be back. I hope you guys have a great week.
Starting point is 00:26:31 I appreciate you joining me. So focus on how you are feeling when you are taking those two afternoon snacks down to one. Focus on asking those four sets of mindful eating questions. Focus on how you're feeling. Like if you're already starting to feel like, oh, I'm not really hungry for this. I'm not really hungry for that. You still want to have a token amount, but pay attention. Chances are you're probably already getting in tune to the point where you're recognizing
Starting point is 00:26:52 you're not going to be hungry to eat six times a day or even five times a day. Right. Some days you will be hungry. Some days not so much. This is where we're really paying attention to that. And the last couple of weeks of the program is really about testing where you're at and how in tune you actually are. Personalizing the plan. This is the lead up to that. Personalizing the plan is what you're going to ideally continue to follow throughout the summer. If you plan on doing another round of the maintenance program in September, or that's the phase where you are getting ready to get to a point where you are just living your life, where you are ready just to trust. When do you. You eat what to eat how much. So that's practicing checking in so that you don't have to practice. You are just in tune throughout your day, right? That's where we're going. That's where going that. I know we talked about summer club. So just like we did it last year, we're not running a program in the summer, but we are going to do our summer club, which is a place for you to feel supported. If you are interested in the summer club, you can go over to our website, libymethad.com and check that out if you're interested in the summer. So we're still going to, we're going to check in. Odette and I are going to check in.
Starting point is 00:27:56 We're going to go live. We're going to have content. We're going to keep you motivated. We're obviously going to keep the community connected. If you're on our membership, it's already included. If you're on our membership, you don't have to do anything after the 91 days. You'll automatically be receiving that content. You'll have access to all the information and everything that you need there.
Starting point is 00:28:14 So there's nothing you need to do. Okay, have a great day. Everyone, if I can, if I can, if I can ask for your support, my Indigo book is going on pre-sale. You're going to love it. It's a beautiful book. My plan is that it's a gift. For you, for yourself, it's a gift for anyone you might know. It's a gorgeous book.
Starting point is 00:28:32 It's this beautiful, don't let the cover fool you. It's the wrong cover that's going to be on the website because you can't really get the cover. But it is this beautiful mauve color, gold, brighting inside. It's absolutely beautiful. It's full of like it's kind of a recipe for lifestyle. No actual recipes, but recipe for lifestyle. You're going to be able to get it on sale for 30% off Indigo. They're including it as part.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I can't even stop smiling. They're including it as part of their most anticipated book list. So I'll get Odette to drop the link. So if you feel so inclined to support my book, I would absolutely appreciate. No pressure, of course. But it is a beautiful book and it's made out of love. So it's called Live Lighter,
Starting point is 00:29:11 The Art of Living Well in Your Body, Your Home, and Your Mind. Just taking a compilation of everything we've talked about and everything that we've learned in our programs and putting it together in a beautiful book for you. So thanks so much, everyone. I hope you have a fantastic rest of your day. And I will see you, I guess, on Monday. Okay, have a great week.
Starting point is 00:29:31 Bye.
