1 00:00:08,471 --> 00:00:11,856 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Individuals who can afford to buy food at a 2 00:00:11,896 --> 00:00:14,379 Dr. Nicolette Richer: whole foods, but they still choose to buy 3 00:00:14,419 --> 00:00:15,663 Dr. Nicolette Richer: processed refined food. 4 00:00:15,965 --> 00:00:17,311 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've been working with these individuals 5 00:00:17,371 --> 00:00:18,315 Dr. Nicolette Richer: for a long time. 6 00:00:18,656 --> 00:00:20,262 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've, quite frankly, become a little bit 7 00:00:20,302 --> 00:00:23,389 Dr. Nicolette Richer: exhausted because we do have so much 8 00:00:23,449 --> 00:00:25,213 Dr. Nicolette Richer: information there's too much information 9 00:00:25,253 --> 00:00:27,504 Dr. Nicolette Richer: out there, in fact but it's interesting. 10 00:00:27,544 --> 00:00:30,490 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've decided to really focus on BIPOC women, 11 00:00:30,951 --> 00:00:33,644 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and that is an area that I know I'll be 12 00:00:33,704 --> 00:00:35,348 Dr. Nicolette Richer: focusing on probably for the next half of 13 00:00:35,408 --> 00:00:37,221 Dr. Nicolette Richer: my life, the next 50 years, and it's the 14 00:00:37,341 --> 00:00:38,886 Dr. Nicolette Richer: area with some of the biggest challenges, 15 00:00:38,906 --> 00:00:40,511 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because we're still facing racism in this 16 00:00:40,611 --> 00:00:40,831 Dr. Nicolette Richer: area. 17 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,869 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We're still facing those economic gaps as 18 00:00:42,890 --> 00:00:43,070 Dr. Nicolette Richer: well. 19 00:00:43,995 --> 00:00:45,180 Hilary Russo: All right, my friends, this is not the 20 00:00:45,220 --> 00:00:47,385 Hilary Russo: first time we talked about this, but 21 00:00:47,445 --> 00:00:50,511 Hilary Russo: imagine being able to reverse the chronic 22 00:00:50,531 --> 00:00:52,943 Hilary Russo: diseases in your life, the health issues 23 00:00:52,983 --> 00:00:55,670 Hilary Russo: that you have, with small changes and I 24 00:00:55,710 --> 00:00:57,221 Hilary Russo: mean really small changes that can make a 25 00:00:57,262 --> 00:00:57,624 Hilary Russo: difference. 26 00:00:57,804 --> 00:00:59,212 Hilary Russo: Like I said, this isn't the first time we 27 00:00:59,232 --> 00:00:59,935 Hilary Russo: talked about this. 28 00:01:00,357 --> 00:01:02,303 Hilary Russo: Holistic living and integrative nutrition 29 00:01:02,463 --> 00:01:04,166 Hilary Russo: is really a big part of that. 30 00:01:04,507 --> 00:01:08,334 Hilary Russo: If you can reverse 97% of the chronic 31 00:01:08,354 --> 00:01:10,458 Hilary Russo: diseases out there with whole food eating, 32 00:01:10,698 --> 00:01:12,585 Hilary Russo: with different kinds of approaches to 33 00:01:12,605 --> 00:01:15,115 Hilary Russo: taking care of your body, mind and spirit 34 00:01:15,256 --> 00:01:17,425 Hilary Russo: holistically, whole body approach, wouldn't 35 00:01:17,445 --> 00:01:18,368 Hilary Russo: you want to have the answers? 36 00:01:18,700 --> 00:01:21,208 Hilary Russo: And that is exactly why I have Dr Nicolette 37 00:01:21,228 --> 00:01:21,810 Hilary Russo: Richer here. 38 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,607 Hilary Russo: She is a doctor of social sciences and she 39 00:01:24,828 --> 00:01:27,883 Hilary Russo: is on a mission to teach 22 million people 40 00:01:28,364 --> 00:01:30,908 Hilary Russo: using food as medicine by a deadline, by 41 00:01:30,928 --> 00:01:32,711 Hilary Russo: the way, 2030. 42 00:01:33,513 --> 00:01:36,245 Hilary Russo: Dr Nicolette, it is so great to have you 43 00:01:36,285 --> 00:01:36,506 Hilary Russo: here. 44 00:01:36,626 --> 00:01:38,211 Hilary Russo: Thank you so much for being on HIListically 45 00:01:38,251 --> 00:01:38,592 Hilary Russo: Speaking. 46 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:40,444 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yeah, and thanks for having me. 47 00:01:40,484 --> 00:01:41,989 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's a pleasure to be here and share this 48 00:01:42,049 --> 00:01:42,611 Dr. Nicolette Richer: information. 49 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,244 Hilary Russo: So I was chit-chatting with you before we 50 00:01:45,264 --> 00:01:46,887 Hilary Russo: pressed record about. 51 00:01:47,648 --> 00:01:50,633 Hilary Russo: You are the first doctor of social sciences 52 00:01:50,653 --> 00:01:52,141 Hilary Russo: I've actually had on this podcast. 53 00:01:52,181 --> 00:01:55,208 Hilary Russo: We're, you know well into 150 plus podcast 54 00:01:55,269 --> 00:01:56,130 Hilary Russo: episodes here. 55 00:01:56,251 --> 00:01:58,424 Hilary Russo: Being that this podcast is about holistic 56 00:01:58,464 --> 00:02:00,251 Hilary Russo: health well-being, turning those traumas 57 00:02:00,271 --> 00:02:01,456 Hilary Russo: into triumphs in our life. 58 00:02:01,757 --> 00:02:04,707 Hilary Russo: I've realized from the different kinds of 59 00:02:04,747 --> 00:02:06,142 Hilary Russo: doctors I've had on the show many in 60 00:02:06,182 --> 00:02:07,486 Hilary Russo: functional medicine and integrative 61 00:02:07,526 --> 00:02:09,981 Hilary Russo: medicine that doctors do not go to medical 62 00:02:10,021 --> 00:02:11,906 Hilary Russo: school and take nutritional courses. 63 00:02:12,047 --> 00:02:14,092 Hilary Russo: That's kind of an extracurricular and I do 64 00:02:14,112 --> 00:02:15,162 Hilary Russo: want to start out there. 65 00:02:15,283 --> 00:02:18,471 Hilary Russo: So how is being a social science doctor 66 00:02:18,511 --> 00:02:18,932 Hilary Russo: different? 67 00:02:19,460 --> 00:02:19,721 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yeah. 68 00:02:19,781 --> 00:02:21,606 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So I was actually on the path to med school 69 00:02:21,666 --> 00:02:24,242 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and all of our friends and our customers 70 00:02:24,302 --> 00:02:25,645 Dr. Nicolette Richer: who ate at our plant-based whole food 71 00:02:25,685 --> 00:02:27,549 Dr. Nicolette Richer: restaurants told me don't go to med school 72 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:29,681 Dr. Nicolette Richer: if I want to teach people how to reverse 73 00:02:29,721 --> 00:02:30,623 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their chronic diseases. 74 00:02:31,324 --> 00:02:35,372 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So I wrote my MCATs, I passed my MCAT, I 75 00:02:35,392 --> 00:02:37,464 Dr. Nicolette Richer: was applying for med school and I really 76 00:02:37,484 --> 00:02:39,529 Dr. Nicolette Richer: thought that was the path, that was the way 77 00:02:39,549 --> 00:02:41,141 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I could help the most amount of people. 78 00:02:41,341 --> 00:02:42,724 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And they were like Nikki, you're not going 79 00:02:42,744 --> 00:02:44,146 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to be able to help people in seven and a 80 00:02:44,186 --> 00:02:44,787 Dr. Nicolette Richer: half minute. 81 00:02:45,048 --> 00:02:47,392 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You know practitioner patient appointments. 82 00:02:47,613 --> 00:02:49,182 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And so they're the ones who actually the 83 00:02:49,282 --> 00:02:51,288 Dr. Nicolette Richer: medical doctors talked me out of going to 84 00:02:51,308 --> 00:02:51,749 Dr. Nicolette Richer: med school. 85 00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:54,186 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And they said work with people around 86 00:02:54,227 --> 00:02:56,496 Dr. Nicolette Richer: behavior change that's what's important 87 00:02:56,536 --> 00:02:58,323 Dr. Nicolette Richer: around education around nutrition. 88 00:02:58,524 --> 00:03:01,152 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And they also point blank said I'd lose my 89 00:03:01,213 --> 00:03:04,504 Dr. Nicolette Richer: license if I was prescribing nutrition to 90 00:03:04,544 --> 00:03:06,502 Dr. Nicolette Richer: patients who had heart disease and diabetes 91 00:03:06,562 --> 00:03:07,567 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and cancer, etc. 92 00:03:07,607 --> 00:03:07,948 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Etc. 93 00:03:08,008 --> 00:03:09,314 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That's what a lot of people don't realize 94 00:03:09,435 --> 00:03:11,805 Dr. Nicolette Richer: is they can't prescribe a specific diet as 95 00:03:11,845 --> 00:03:13,612 Dr. Nicolette Richer: a doctor because that's not considered 96 00:03:13,914 --> 00:03:15,680 Dr. Nicolette Richer: evidence-based medicine, even though we 97 00:03:15,741 --> 00:03:18,967 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have thousands of studies to show that 98 00:03:19,008 --> 00:03:21,633 Dr. Nicolette Richer: plant-based whole food eating is literally 99 00:03:21,793 --> 00:03:24,993 Dr. Nicolette Richer: the answer to reversing 97% of all chronic 100 00:03:25,033 --> 00:03:25,395 Dr. Nicolette Richer: diseases. 101 00:03:25,535 --> 00:03:27,704 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So, being a social scientist, I get to be 102 00:03:27,784 --> 00:03:30,054 Dr. Nicolette Richer: on the side of understanding what makes a 103 00:03:30,114 --> 00:03:31,640 Dr. Nicolette Richer: person tick, what makes them actually 104 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,445 Dr. Nicolette Richer: engage in the behaviors to reverse a 105 00:03:33,465 --> 00:03:34,026 Dr. Nicolette Richer: chronic disease. 106 00:03:34,347 --> 00:03:36,312 Dr. Nicolette Richer: What are the barriers in society that 107 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,325 Dr. Nicolette Richer: prevent them from being able to reverse 108 00:03:38,365 --> 00:03:39,047 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their disease? 109 00:03:39,107 --> 00:03:41,160 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Because it's never just a person has a 110 00:03:41,180 --> 00:03:42,363 Dr. Nicolette Richer: disease and they want to reverse it. 111 00:03:42,423 --> 00:03:44,407 Dr. Nicolette Richer: No, there's economic factors, there's 112 00:03:44,528 --> 00:03:47,153 Dr. Nicolette Richer: geographic factors, there's political 113 00:03:47,534 --> 00:03:49,819 Dr. Nicolette Richer: policies that are in place that prevent 114 00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,907 Dr. Nicolette Richer: people from accessing food, particularly if 115 00:03:52,947 --> 00:03:55,032 Dr. Nicolette Richer: you are Black, indigenous or a person of 116 00:03:55,092 --> 00:03:56,603 Dr. Nicolette Richer: color, and a lot of people don't know that. 117 00:03:56,663 --> 00:03:59,049 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So it's not just a simple have a disease, 118 00:03:59,490 --> 00:04:00,620 Dr. Nicolette Richer: choose to reverse your disease. 119 00:04:00,861 --> 00:04:01,822 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That's not how it works. 120 00:04:01,882 --> 00:04:04,086 Dr. Nicolette Richer: There's financial inequities that are in 121 00:04:04,106 --> 00:04:06,950 Dr. Nicolette Richer: place, there's racism within the medical 122 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:08,873 Dr. Nicolette Richer: system that prevent people from getting the 123 00:04:08,913 --> 00:04:11,142 Dr. Nicolette Richer: proper lab test done, etc. 124 00:04:11,222 --> 00:04:11,342 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Etc. 125 00:04:11,402 --> 00:04:13,026 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So, being a social scientist, I'm actually 126 00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:15,191 Dr. Nicolette Richer: able to look at the systems that are in 127 00:04:15,251 --> 00:04:16,704 Dr. Nicolette Richer: place and the systems that need to be 128 00:04:16,744 --> 00:04:19,114 Dr. Nicolette Richer: changed that would allow somebody to even 129 00:04:19,154 --> 00:04:21,202 Dr. Nicolette Richer: engage in the behaviors of reversing their 130 00:04:21,222 --> 00:04:22,464 Dr. Nicolette Richer: chronic disease in the first place. 131 00:04:22,825 --> 00:04:23,747 Hilary Russo: And that's a big difference. 132 00:04:23,807 --> 00:04:25,269 Hilary Russo: That's a really big difference from what 133 00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:27,253 Hilary Russo: you originally went to school for, like you 134 00:04:27,334 --> 00:04:30,586 Hilary Russo: said, but was this something that you 135 00:04:30,967 --> 00:04:32,711 Hilary Russo: identified with because of your own health 136 00:04:32,731 --> 00:04:33,413 Hilary Russo: concerns as well? 137 00:04:33,820 --> 00:04:36,647 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Good question and the answer is no, but a 138 00:04:36,688 --> 00:04:37,068 Dr. Nicolette Richer: lot of people. 139 00:04:37,109 --> 00:04:37,269 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That's. 140 00:04:37,329 --> 00:04:38,841 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Number one question I get asked is how I 141 00:04:39,021 --> 00:04:40,204 Dr. Nicolette Richer: got into this work. 142 00:04:40,305 --> 00:04:41,588 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I was working in government actually 143 00:04:41,628 --> 00:04:44,082 Dr. Nicolette Richer: creating policy for environmental policy, 144 00:04:44,122 --> 00:04:47,028 Dr. Nicolette Richer: so I was in environmental toxicology and 145 00:04:47,088 --> 00:04:49,432 Dr. Nicolette Richer: screening and you know wastewater 146 00:04:49,472 --> 00:04:50,414 Dr. Nicolette Richer: management etc. 147 00:04:50,434 --> 00:04:50,534 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Etc. 148 00:04:51,101 --> 00:04:53,170 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And so in doing that work, at the same time 149 00:04:53,230 --> 00:04:54,897 Dr. Nicolette Richer: my best friend's dad was diagnosed with 150 00:04:54,917 --> 00:04:55,680 Dr. Nicolette Richer: stage four cancer. 151 00:04:56,021 --> 00:04:58,728 Dr. Nicolette Richer: He was 72 years old at the time and he had 152 00:04:58,768 --> 00:05:00,452 Dr. Nicolette Richer: metastasized to his bones. 153 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,366 Dr. Nicolette Richer: He was not given chemo surgery or radiation 154 00:05:03,707 --> 00:05:06,373 Dr. Nicolette Richer: as a treatment option at all and they just 155 00:05:06,393 --> 00:05:07,322 Dr. Nicolette Richer: sent him home to die. 156 00:05:07,462 --> 00:05:10,989 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So instead he had heard about metabolic 157 00:05:11,069 --> 00:05:13,054 Dr. Nicolette Richer: nutrition and detoxification years and 158 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:13,922 Dr. Nicolette Richer: years and years before. 159 00:05:14,002 --> 00:05:16,008 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So he went back and started researching, 160 00:05:16,088 --> 00:05:18,082 Dr. Nicolette Richer: investigating, asking lots of questions, 161 00:05:18,302 --> 00:05:21,008 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and he immediately changed his behavior, 162 00:05:21,048 --> 00:05:21,590 Dr. Nicolette Richer: his lifestyle. 163 00:05:21,630 --> 00:05:23,842 Dr. Nicolette Richer: He stopped eating processed food, stopped 164 00:05:23,862 --> 00:05:25,865 Dr. Nicolette Richer: eating pizza and burgers and fries and 165 00:05:25,885 --> 00:05:28,691 Dr. Nicolette Richer: packaged ingredients, and he switched to 166 00:05:28,771 --> 00:05:31,341 Dr. Nicolette Richer: organic, plant-based whole food diet, daily 167 00:05:31,381 --> 00:05:34,911 Dr. Nicolette Richer: detoxification with supplements and added 168 00:05:34,951 --> 00:05:36,676 Dr. Nicolette Richer: juicings for the added nutrients. 169 00:05:36,977 --> 00:05:39,584 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And at 72 years old, he reversed his stage 170 00:05:39,684 --> 00:05:41,849 Dr. Nicolette Richer: for metastasized cancer, where he was given 171 00:05:41,889 --> 00:05:43,621 Dr. Nicolette Richer: three months to live and he lived another 172 00:05:43,761 --> 00:05:44,783 Dr. Nicolette Richer: 22 more years. 173 00:05:44,964 --> 00:05:47,008 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Now, being naturally a researcher and 174 00:05:47,028 --> 00:05:49,493 Dr. Nicolette Richer: really curious, I couldn't discount what he 175 00:05:49,533 --> 00:05:51,825 Dr. Nicolette Richer: did and just chalk it up to one anecdotal 176 00:05:51,885 --> 00:05:52,286 Dr. Nicolette Richer: story. 177 00:05:52,426 --> 00:05:54,732 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So I investigated the therapy to understand. 178 00:05:54,872 --> 00:05:57,325 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You know, what did it mean, what was the 179 00:05:57,365 --> 00:05:58,127 Dr. Nicolette Richer: science behind it? 180 00:05:58,207 --> 00:05:59,771 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And lo and behold, it opened up a whole new 181 00:05:59,791 --> 00:06:02,125 Dr. Nicolette Richer: world where I saw that actually, not even 182 00:06:02,185 --> 00:06:04,490 Dr. Nicolette Richer: just for the last 200 years of published 183 00:06:04,550 --> 00:06:06,582 Dr. Nicolette Richer: medical research and peer reviewed journal 184 00:06:06,643 --> 00:06:08,388 Dr. Nicolette Richer: articles does this information exist. 185 00:06:08,488 --> 00:06:09,701 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But you know, going back through 186 00:06:09,821 --> 00:06:11,606 Dr. Nicolette Richer: traditional Chinese medicine and Ayurvedic 187 00:06:11,646 --> 00:06:13,831 Dr. Nicolette Richer: medicine and other indigenous medicine 188 00:06:13,851 --> 00:06:16,045 Dr. Nicolette Richer: practices, you know food has been medicine 189 00:06:16,106 --> 00:06:18,676 Dr. Nicolette Richer: since the day every single human being was 190 00:06:18,997 --> 00:06:20,361 Dr. Nicolette Richer: came into existence on the planet. 191 00:06:20,621 --> 00:06:22,443 Hilary Russo: What is your hope when you say that you 192 00:06:22,483 --> 00:06:24,266 Hilary Russo: want to teach 22 million people how to 193 00:06:24,306 --> 00:06:27,029 Hilary Russo: eradicate their chronic diseases using food 194 00:06:27,089 --> 00:06:31,274 Hilary Russo: as medicine in the next, really, six years? 195 00:06:31,735 --> 00:06:34,426 Hilary Russo: Yeah, when you think about that, what does 196 00:06:34,446 --> 00:06:35,029 Hilary Russo: that mean for you? 197 00:06:35,070 --> 00:06:36,537 Hilary Russo: Because I know that you are putting a lot 198 00:06:36,577 --> 00:06:38,504 Hilary Russo: of these programs, in these wellness 199 00:06:38,524 --> 00:06:41,574 Hilary Russo: programs in organizations, companies and 200 00:06:41,795 --> 00:06:44,203 Hilary Russo: institutions, but and teaching doctors is 201 00:06:44,283 --> 00:06:46,703 Hilary Russo: one thing that you do, so what is how? 202 00:06:46,723 --> 00:06:49,389 Hilary Russo: Would that mission be a possibility for you? 203 00:06:49,730 --> 00:06:51,493 Dr. Nicolette Richer: yeah, I think one of the biggest, most 204 00:06:51,780 --> 00:06:54,186 Dr. Nicolette Richer: important things any entrepreneur can do is 205 00:06:54,227 --> 00:06:55,891 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to set a big, hairy, audacious goal. 206 00:06:55,951 --> 00:06:58,148 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And a big, hairy, audacious goal is a goal 207 00:06:58,168 --> 00:06:59,755 Dr. Nicolette Richer: that is bigger than anything you can ever 208 00:06:59,815 --> 00:07:01,020 Dr. Nicolette Richer: imagine accomplishing. 209 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:02,723 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And if we don't set goals like that, then 210 00:07:02,743 --> 00:07:04,266 Dr. Nicolette Richer: we we just don't set big goals. 211 00:07:04,406 --> 00:07:06,089 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We actually set really small goals that are 212 00:07:06,129 --> 00:07:08,674 Dr. Nicolette Richer: very easy to achieve, and so it's important 213 00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:10,004 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to set a big, hairy, audacious goal. 214 00:07:10,065 --> 00:07:10,788 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that is mine. 215 00:07:11,030 --> 00:07:12,417 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's going to be really hard to quantify. 216 00:07:12,477 --> 00:07:14,744 Dr. Nicolette Richer: For example, I was invited to China by the 217 00:07:14,785 --> 00:07:16,489 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Ministry of Health and the Center for 218 00:07:16,509 --> 00:07:18,722 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Chronic Disease Control to teach 600 219 00:07:18,782 --> 00:07:22,350 Dr. Nicolette Richer: physicians how to do this metabolic therapy 220 00:07:22,390 --> 00:07:22,972 Dr. Nicolette Richer: that I teach. 221 00:07:23,112 --> 00:07:25,758 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So what they ended up doing was donating 222 00:07:25,818 --> 00:07:28,103 Dr. Nicolette Richer: 200 acres of organic farmland. 223 00:07:28,244 --> 00:07:29,847 Dr. Nicolette Richer: The Chinese government did that and they 224 00:07:29,887 --> 00:07:33,082 Dr. Nicolette Richer: mandated in China that every municipality 225 00:07:33,142 --> 00:07:35,388 Dr. Nicolette Richer: needed to be in charge of the diabetes 226 00:07:35,428 --> 00:07:37,881 Dr. Nicolette Richer: reversing diabetes using food as medicine. 227 00:07:38,061 --> 00:07:40,627 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They now have a 150 bed wellness center 228 00:07:40,748 --> 00:07:42,993 Dr. Nicolette Richer: where anybody in China can go to to learn 229 00:07:43,013 --> 00:07:44,847 Dr. Nicolette Richer: the therapy that I taught these physicians. 230 00:07:44,907 --> 00:07:46,947 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They gutted a main hospital in Beijing to 231 00:07:46,968 --> 00:07:48,714 Dr. Nicolette Richer: put in a metabolic nutrition and detox 232 00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:51,503 Dr. Nicolette Richer: center and including kitchens with stoves 233 00:07:51,564 --> 00:07:53,368 Dr. Nicolette Richer: where every Wednesday evening the community 234 00:07:53,428 --> 00:07:55,481 Dr. Nicolette Richer: can come and learn about food as medicine. 235 00:07:55,581 --> 00:07:57,145 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that's a country with over a billion 236 00:07:57,226 --> 00:07:57,587 Dr. Nicolette Richer: people. 237 00:07:57,867 --> 00:07:59,732 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Now, am I going to know exactly how many 238 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,626 Dr. Nicolette Richer: patients those 600 individuals, those 239 00:08:02,706 --> 00:08:05,010 Dr. Nicolette Richer: physicians, have been able to impact in the 240 00:08:05,030 --> 00:08:07,882 Dr. Nicolette Richer: 150 bed center and the hospital in Beijing? 241 00:08:08,042 --> 00:08:10,468 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I will not be able to quantify that, but it 242 00:08:10,508 --> 00:08:13,193 Dr. Nicolette Richer: allows me to actually reach out to 243 00:08:13,340 --> 00:08:15,026 Dr. Nicolette Richer: organizations that I would not normally 244 00:08:15,066 --> 00:08:16,450 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have reached out to and say, hey, can we 245 00:08:16,470 --> 00:08:16,751 Dr. Nicolette Richer: partner? 246 00:08:16,980 --> 00:08:19,446 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Another example is that Lululemon, which is 247 00:08:19,746 --> 00:08:22,753 Dr. Nicolette Richer: a major employer of 34,000 employees, is 248 00:08:22,833 --> 00:08:24,674 Dr. Nicolette Richer: one of our biggest sponsors and they made 249 00:08:24,714 --> 00:08:27,447 Dr. Nicolette Richer: me an ambassador simply so we could get the 250 00:08:27,467 --> 00:08:28,911 Dr. Nicolette Richer: message out, as food is medicine. 251 00:08:29,152 --> 00:08:31,520 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So we're now working with them on a huge 252 00:08:31,741 --> 00:08:34,231 Dr. Nicolette Richer: endeavor which is not only around chronic 253 00:08:34,271 --> 00:08:36,580 Dr. Nicolette Richer: diseases but around mental health disorders 254 00:08:36,740 --> 00:08:38,244 Dr. Nicolette Richer: as well, because mental health disorders 255 00:08:38,264 --> 00:08:41,431 Dr. Nicolette Richer: are just chronic diseases, and so to really 256 00:08:41,491 --> 00:08:44,205 Dr. Nicolette Richer: support men around the globe in reversing 257 00:08:44,245 --> 00:08:46,792 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their suicidal ideation and mood disorders 258 00:08:46,852 --> 00:08:47,152 Dr. Nicolette Richer: as well. 259 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,504 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So it's by partnering with these big 260 00:08:48,544 --> 00:08:50,008 Dr. Nicolette Richer: organizations that I think I'm going to be 261 00:08:50,048 --> 00:08:50,871 Dr. Nicolette Richer: able to achieve this goal. 262 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,630 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So, yeah, going to be hard to quantify, for 263 00:08:53,690 --> 00:08:55,678 Dr. Nicolette Richer: sure, because I don't keep track of every 264 00:08:55,718 --> 00:08:58,086 Dr. Nicolette Richer: single individual, but it allows me to 265 00:08:58,146 --> 00:08:59,751 Dr. Nicolette Richer: really partner with big organizations. 266 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,607 Hilary Russo: You glow when you're talking about this. 267 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,866 Hilary Russo: You really you come alive, Like I'm just 268 00:09:03,886 --> 00:09:08,474 Hilary Russo: watching you as you talk about, and even 269 00:09:08,327 --> 00:09:09,919 Hilary Russo: talking about things that are traumatic 270 00:09:09,772 --> 00:09:10,106 Hilary Russo: when you talk about suicide. 271 00:09:10,167 --> 00:09:11,370 Hilary Russo: But I think you're seeing the other side of 272 00:09:11,471 --> 00:09:13,287 Hilary Russo: it, like where the possibility is. 273 00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:16,049 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yeah, thank you for noticing that. 274 00:09:16,260 --> 00:09:18,248 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It is definitely my life's work. 275 00:09:18,340 --> 00:09:20,185 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It doesn't even feel like work and every 276 00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:24,046 Dr. Nicolette Richer: time I get a client who is sitting on the 277 00:09:24,086 --> 00:09:24,787 Dr. Nicolette Richer: side of the road. 278 00:09:25,048 --> 00:09:31,042 Dr. Nicolette Richer: This is one example a very successful 279 00:09:31,062 --> 00:09:31,927 Dr. Nicolette Richer: entrepreneur in our town who called me from 280 00:09:31,947 --> 00:09:32,792 Dr. Nicolette Richer: the side of the road crying because he had 281 00:09:32,812 --> 00:09:33,657 Dr. Nicolette Richer: a rope in his hand but couldn't figure out 282 00:09:33,677 --> 00:09:34,120 Dr. Nicolette Richer: where to hang the rope. 283 00:09:34,481 --> 00:09:36,348 Dr. Nicolette Richer: He had served in the British Air Forces. 284 00:09:37,042 --> 00:09:38,810 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You can listen to the podcast on our Eat 285 00:09:38,830 --> 00:09:40,740 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Real to Heal podcast his story. 286 00:09:41,181 --> 00:09:43,847 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And then now to see him, married with two 287 00:09:43,907 --> 00:09:45,431 Dr. Nicolette Richer: kids, running a restaurant. 288 00:09:45,491 --> 00:09:47,282 Dr.

himself of his psoriasis 293 00:09:55,389 --> 00:09:57,641 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and his chronic diseases and mood disorders, 294 00:09:57,842 --> 00:09:59,326 Dr. Nicolette Richer: no longer wants to

00:10:22,123 Dr. Nicolette Richer: our society makes it so complicated, so I'm 304 00:10:22,163 --> 00:10:24,210 Dr. Nicolette Richer: excited to be on the side that knows how to 305 00:10:24,230 --> 00:10:24,470 Dr. Nicolette Richer: do it. 306 00:10:24,721 --> 00:10:26,626 Hilary Russo: I think that's where we truly vibe, because 307 00:10:26,646 --> 00:10:28,511 Hilary Russo: that's an area where I'm focusing on. 308 00:10:28,611 --> 00:10:30,846 Hilary Russo: As far as being a holistic practitioner in 309 00:10:30,866 --> 00:10:32,501 Hilary Russo: the emotional well-being field, you know, 310 00:10:32,842 --> 00:10:35,312 Hilary Russo: having self-regulating tools, having ways 311 00:10:35,373 --> 00:10:37,200 Hilary Russo: that you can put the power of emotional 312 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,900 Hilary Russo: well-being in someone else's hands. 313 00:10:39,181 --> 00:10:41,386 Hilary Russo: People will say often they'll say, oh, 314 00:10:41,406 --> 00:10:45,136 Hilary Russo: you're a healer or you are the one that is 315 00:10:45,557 --> 00:10:47,382 Hilary Russo: doing the work for someone, but it's being 316 00:10:47,402 --> 00:10:49,267 Hilary Russo: the guide, it's being the person that says 317 00:10:49,368 --> 00:10:50,370 Hilary Russo: here are the tools. 318 00:10:50,511 --> 00:10:51,762 Hilary Russo: You're the one that's actually doing the 319 00:10:51,802 --> 00:10:54,109 Hilary Russo: work that empowers the actual client or 320 00:10:54,169 --> 00:10:55,011 Hilary Russo: patient in your case. 321 00:10:55,300 --> 00:10:56,824 Hilary

00:11:35,833 Dr. Nicolette Richer: women of color, it's time to rise up. 341 00:11:35,994 --> 00:11:38,500 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's time to reclaim our ancestral 342 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:39,924 Dr. Nicolette Richer: knowledge that food is medicine. 343 00:11:39,984 --> 00:11:41,789 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's time to reverse these chronic diseases. 344 00:11:41,950 --> 00:11:43,505 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's time to end the discrimination in the 345 00:11:43,525 --> 00:11:44,288 Dr. Nicolette Richer: health field, in our food systems field, 346 00:11:44,308 --> 00:11:45,111 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and it's time to reverse these chronic 347 00:11:45,131 --> 00:11:45,312 Dr. Nicolette Richer: diseases. 348 00:11:45,332 --> 00:11:46,196 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's time to end the discrimination in the 349 00:11:46,216 --> 00:11:47,120 Dr. Nicolette Richer: health field, in our food systems field, 350 00:11:47,581 --> 00:11:51,148 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and it's time to really close those 351 00:11:51,628 --> 00:11:53,833 Dr. Nicolette Richer: economic disparity gaps that we see that 352 00:11:53,873 --> 00:11:57,028 Dr. Nicolette Richer: are huge, that really women face at higher 353 00:11:57,068 --> 00:11:57,930 Dr. Nicolette Richer: levels than men. 354 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,264 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So one of the big areas for BIPOC women 355 00:12:01,345 --> 00:12:04,489 Dr. Nicolette Richer: especially, but men as well, and all 356 00:12:04,830 --> 00:12:08,495 Dr. Nicolette Richer: genders and identities it is the fact that 357 00:12:08,835 --> 00:12:11,806 Dr. Nicolette Richer: so many BIPOC individuals can't even access 358 00:12:11,966 --> 00:12:12,708 Dr. Nicolette Richer: clean, real food. 359 00:12:13,449 --> 00:12:16,220 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So they can't access your services, they 360 00:12:16,261 --> 00:12:18,045 Dr. Nicolette Richer: can't access my services. 361 00:12:18,305 --> 00:12:20,651 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It is out of their ability to be able to 362 00:12:20,691 --> 00:12:21,233 Dr. Nicolette Richer: afford them. 363 00:12:22,182 --> 00:12:24,134 Dr. Nicolette Richer: There's policies in place that won't that 364 00:12:24,174 --> 00:12:26,102 Dr. Nicolette Richer: prevent them from having a grocery store 365 00:12:26,202 --> 00:12:28,808 Dr. Nicolette Richer: that sells organic, clean, real food at 366 00:12:29,209 --> 00:12:30,833 Dr. Nicolette Richer: affordable prices in their community. 367 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,485 Dr. Nicolette Richer: These are called redline districts. 368 00:12:32,565 --> 00:12:34,089 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You know, whole Foods will not, whole Foods 369 00:12:34,110 --> 00:12:35,563 Dr. Nicolette Richer: will not put their restaurant or their 370 00:12:35,783 --> 00:12:37,187 Dr. Nicolette Richer: grocery store in a redline district. 371 00:12:37,308 --> 00:12:39,261 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Food deserts Well, yeah, and it's not even 372 00:12:39,281 --> 00:12:39,621 Dr. Nicolette Richer: just food. 373 00:12:39,641 --> 00:12:42,486 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Deserts, like just because you can get pop 374 00:12:42,526 --> 00:12:45,772 Dr. Nicolette Richer: tarts in a grocery store, does not. 375 00:12:46,012 --> 00:12:46,693 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That's not food. 376 00:12:46,914 --> 00:12:49,106 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So it's actually having nutrition deserts, 377 00:12:49,327 --> 00:12:50,913 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and so that's a huge problem. 378 00:12:51,013 --> 00:12:53,381 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that is the work that I'm really focused 379 00:12:53,561 --> 00:12:57,409 Dr. Nicolette Richer: on individuals who can afford to buy, you 380 00:12:57,429 --> 00:12:59,674 Dr. Nicolette Richer: know, food at a Whole Foods, but they still 381 00:12:59,961 --> 00:13:02,066 Dr. Nicolette Richer: choose to buy processed, refined food. 382 00:13:02,147 --> 00:13:03,470 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've been working with these individuals 383 00:13:03,530 --> 00:13:04,453 Dr. Nicolette Richer: for a long time. 384 00:13:06,177 --> 00:13:07,780 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've, quite frankly, become a little bit 385 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,927 Dr. Nicolette Richer: exhausted because we do have so much 386 00:13:10,987 --> 00:13:12,737 Dr. Nicolette Richer: information there's too much information 387 00:13:12,777 --> 00:13:15,604 Dr. Nicolette Richer: out there, in fact, but it's interesting. 388 00:13:15,644 --> 00:13:18,598 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I've decided to really focus on BIPOC women, 389 00:13:18,778 --> 00:13:21,484 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and that is an area that I know I'll be 390 00:13:21,544 --> 00:13:23,208 Dr. Nicolette Richer: focusing on probably for the next half of 391 00:13:23,248 --> 00:13:25,666 Dr. Nicolette Richer: my life, the next 50 years, and it's the 392 00:13:25,786 --> 00:13:27,334 Dr. Nicolette Richer: area with some of the biggest challenges, 393 00:13:27,374 --> 00:13:28,939 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because we're still facing racism in this 394 00:13:29,039 --> 00:13:29,280 Dr. Nicolette Richer: area. 395 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,306 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We're still facing those economic gaps as 396 00:13:31,346 --> 00:13:31,486 Dr. Nicolette Richer: well. 397 00:13:31,975 --> 00:13:33,242 Hilary Russo: That is something that I became very 398 00:13:33,303 --> 00:13:34,993 Hilary Russo: familiar with when I was working with CVS 399 00:13:35,033 --> 00:13:37,382 Hilary Russo: Health, because I was hosting a show called 400 00:13:37,422 --> 00:13:38,205 Hilary Russo: Healthy Communities. 401 00:13:38,355 --> 00:13:39,861 Hilary Russo: We focused on the social determinants of 402 00:13:39,921 --> 00:13:43,822 Hilary Russo: health and seeing the lack in some of these 403 00:13:43,882 --> 00:13:47,472 Hilary Russo: communities that, really, put it, halted a 404 00:13:47,793 --> 00:13:49,458 Hilary Russo: number of communities from being able to 405 00:13:49,619 --> 00:13:51,696 Hilary Russo: access what is healthier for them in their 406 00:13:51,756 --> 00:13:52,961 Hilary Russo: everyday, in their communities. 407 00:13:53,001 --> 00:13:55,751 Hilary Russo: But also it's changing the habits, because 408 00:13:55,831 --> 00:13:57,919 Hilary Russo: if for so long they have been eating a 409 00:13:57,959 --> 00:14:00,831 Hilary Russo: certain way to survive, it's changing the 410 00:14:00,871 --> 00:14:02,677 Hilary Russo: thought, moods, behaviors and habits to 411 00:14:02,737 --> 00:14:05,144 Hilary Russo: thrive, to live well to realize that they 412 00:14:05,164 --> 00:14:06,535 Hilary Russo: can turn so many things around, and it's 413 00:14:06,656 --> 00:14:08,661 Hilary Russo: not just the food, like you said, it's an 414 00:14:08,721 --> 00:14:10,004 Hilary Russo: emotional response as well. 415 00:14:10,185 --> 00:14:12,150 Hilary Russo: Can you touch on why keto kills? 416 00:14:12,190 --> 00:14:13,474 Hilary Russo: That was something that came up because we 417 00:14:13,494 --> 00:14:15,980 Hilary Russo: hear so much about keto on both sides. 418 00:14:16,481 --> 00:14:18,526 Hilary Russo: I'm curious from your perspective, why does 419 00:14:18,586 --> 00:14:19,228 Hilary Russo: keto kill? 420 00:14:20,635 --> 00:14:20,876 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yeah. 421 00:14:20,936 --> 00:14:23,442 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So I'll actually just jump in and say it's 422 00:14:23,482 --> 00:14:24,685 Dr. Nicolette Richer: not my perspective. 423 00:14:24,945 --> 00:14:26,437 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's actually what the scientific 424 00:14:26,598 --> 00:14:27,622 Dr. Nicolette Richer: literature shows. 425 00:14:27,803 --> 00:14:30,333 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So we have media, nutritionists, health 426 00:14:30,413 --> 00:14:33,485 Dr. Nicolette Richer: advocates promoting keto based on a very 427 00:14:33,645 --> 00:14:35,893 Dr. Nicolette Richer: few amount of studies and these studies 428 00:14:35,933 --> 00:14:37,017 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have not been done long term. 429 00:14:37,157 --> 00:14:38,421 Dr. Nicolette Richer: All of the studies that I've looked at that 430 00:14:38,441 --> 00:14:39,424 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have been done long term. 431 00:14:39,484 --> 00:14:41,180 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They had to actually stop the studies 432 00:14:41,281 --> 00:14:42,827 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because they actually resulted in people 433 00:14:42,887 --> 00:14:45,516 Dr. Nicolette Richer: having higher rates of suicidal ideation, 434 00:14:46,017 --> 00:14:48,381 Dr. Nicolette Richer: clinical depression, which they didn't even 435 00:14:48,421 --> 00:14:50,444 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have starting keto, higher rates of heart 436 00:14:50,484 --> 00:14:50,925 Dr. Nicolette Richer: disease. 437 00:14:51,185 --> 00:14:52,888 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Some studies had to be stopped because some 438 00:14:52,908 --> 00:14:54,496 Dr. Nicolette Richer: of the patients they couldn't even carry 439 00:14:54,536 --> 00:14:55,939 Dr. Nicolette Richer: out the long-term study because some of the 440 00:14:55,979 --> 00:14:59,066 Dr. Nicolette Richer: patients ended up with 98% arterial 441 00:14:59,126 --> 00:15:00,596 Dr. Nicolette Richer: blockage from keto. 442 00:15:00,897 --> 00:15:03,002 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So they couldn't ethically continue the 443 00:15:03,042 --> 00:15:04,606 Dr. Nicolette Richer: study because the subjects, the 444 00:15:04,626 --> 00:15:05,957 Dr. Nicolette Richer: participants, would have died. 445 00:15:06,138 --> 00:15:09,168 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So when you just look at the evidence, that 446 00:15:09,228 --> 00:15:10,873 Dr. Nicolette Richer: is why I do not promote keto but 447 00:15:10,913 --> 00:15:12,618 Dr. Nicolette Richer: scientifically, from a biochemical 448 00:15:12,658 --> 00:15:15,004 Dr. Nicolette Richer: perspective as well, when you choose to eat 449 00:15:15,184 --> 00:15:17,197 Dr. Nicolette Richer: that high amount of fat, that high amount 450 00:15:17,237 --> 00:15:19,403 Dr. Nicolette Richer: of protein, and especially if doing it 451 00:15:19,463 --> 00:15:21,516 Dr. Nicolette Richer: through an animal-based diet, you create 452 00:15:21,536 --> 00:15:23,724 Dr. Nicolette Richer: what's called a TMAO reaction in the gut. 453 00:15:24,105 --> 00:15:25,571 Dr. Nicolette Richer: This happens in everybody. 454 00:15:25,972 --> 00:15:27,978 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It's just a basic biochemical principle. 455 00:15:28,059 --> 00:15:30,265 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Most people have no idea what TMAO does and 456 00:15:30,285 --> 00:15:30,325 Dr. Nicolette Richer: is. 457 00:15:30,715 --> 00:15:32,740 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So this reaction happens and then it starts 458 00:15:32,801 --> 00:15:34,365 Dr. Nicolette Richer: immediately to clog arteries. 459 00:15:34,465 --> 00:15:36,038 Dr. Nicolette Richer: When you do this, you create insulin 460 00:15:36,078 --> 00:15:36,862 Dr. Nicolette Richer: insensitivity. 461 00:15:37,002 --> 00:15:39,432 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You cannot draw glucose and insulin across 462 00:15:39,472 --> 00:15:41,217 Dr. Nicolette Richer: the arterial walls into the cells where 463 00:15:41,257 --> 00:15:41,698 Dr. Nicolette Richer: it's needed. 464 00:15:41,839 --> 00:15:44,044 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So your kidneys, your heart, all your 465 00:15:44,164 --> 00:15:46,717 Dr. Nicolette Richer: organs that are dependent on glucose and 466 00:15:47,459 --> 00:15:49,463 Dr. Nicolette Richer: insulin no longer able to receive it. 467 00:15:49,523 --> 00:15:52,089 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So then you create diabetes, heart disease, 468 00:15:52,415 --> 00:15:54,021 Dr. Nicolette Richer: mental health disorders and more. 469 00:15:54,462 --> 00:15:56,991 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So there is no way I can get behind that, 470 00:15:57,131 --> 00:16:00,963 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because the long-term studies show keto 471 00:16:01,344 --> 00:16:01,786 Dr. Nicolette Richer: kills. 472 00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:04,012 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So now we have a bunch of hooligans and 473 00:16:04,032 --> 00:16:05,837 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I'll call them hooligans running around the 474 00:16:05,857 --> 00:16:06,278 Dr. Nicolette Richer: planet. 475 00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:09,186 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Most of these hooligans are backed by media 476 00:16:09,206 --> 00:16:10,796 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because they running around the planet. 477 00:16:10,816 --> 00:16:11,779 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Most of these hooligans are backed by media 478 00:16:11,799 --> 00:16:12,661 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because they you know how media loves to. 479 00:16:12,681 --> 00:16:14,225 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You know jump onto one little molecule like 480 00:16:14,345 --> 00:16:16,376 Dr. Nicolette Richer: resveratrol from red wine, one study 481 00:16:16,396 --> 00:16:18,461 Dr. Nicolette Richer: showing that resveratrol it does the body 482 00:16:18,501 --> 00:16:18,822 Dr. Nicolette Richer: good. 483 00:16:19,063 --> 00:16:20,927 Dr. Nicolette Richer: All of a sudden, the media is promoting red 484 00:16:21,015 --> 00:16:22,258 Dr. Nicolette Richer: wine as being good for you. 485 00:16:22,379 --> 00:16:24,484 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But what media fails to say is that you'd 486 00:16:24,504 --> 00:16:26,556 Dr. Nicolette Richer: need to drink 12 bottles of red wine in one 487 00:16:26,596 --> 00:16:28,560 Dr. Nicolette Richer: sitting to get enough resveratrol. 488 00:16:28,580 --> 00:16:30,022 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That would actually be beneficial to the 489 00:16:30,043 --> 00:16:30,323 Dr. Nicolette Richer: body. 490 00:16:30,423 --> 00:16:32,367 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So we have people running around spreading 491 00:16:32,427 --> 00:16:34,355 Dr. Nicolette Richer: nutritional information that do not know 492 00:16:34,375 --> 00:16:36,521 Dr. Nicolette Richer: how to read an actual scientific study from 493 00:16:36,581 --> 00:16:38,806 Dr. Nicolette Richer: beginning to end, and this is killing 494 00:16:38,866 --> 00:16:39,207 Dr. Nicolette Richer: people. 495 00:16:39,347 --> 00:16:42,624 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So it's not just keto kills, media kills. 496 00:16:42,745 --> 00:16:45,212 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Nutritionists who fail to read scientific 497 00:16:45,292 --> 00:16:47,657 Dr. Nicolette Richer: studies are killing people every single day, 498 00:16:47,797 --> 00:16:50,061 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and I do not say that lightly if they're in. 499 00:16:50,121 --> 00:16:52,005 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You don't know how many nutritionists that 500 00:16:52,145 --> 00:16:54,849 Dr. Nicolette Richer: have patients, clients that end up coming 501 00:16:54,889 --> 00:16:57,360 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to me afterwards because their markers are 502 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,265 Dr. Nicolette Richer: worse than when they started with that 503 00:16:59,325 --> 00:17:01,720 Dr. Nicolette Richer: nutritionist, and so it's really, really 504 00:17:01,921 --> 00:17:03,808 Dr. Nicolette Richer: important that we start looking at 505 00:17:03,868 --> 00:17:06,777 Dr. Nicolette Richer: nutrition as a body of medicine that is not 506 00:17:06,838 --> 00:17:08,883 Dr. Nicolette Richer: going to be run by people who've never read 507 00:17:08,963 --> 00:17:10,647 Dr. Nicolette Richer: a single scientific study. 508 00:17:11,275 --> 00:17:13,821 Hilary Russo: I have a question about testing too. 509 00:17:13,941 --> 00:17:15,564 Hilary Russo: When people do come to you, do they get 510 00:17:15,805 --> 00:17:18,598 Hilary Russo: specific types of tests, meaning like their 511 00:17:18,638 --> 00:17:20,944 Hilary Russo: vitamin tests, blood work, like a full 512 00:17:20,984 --> 00:17:21,405 Hilary Russo: panel? 513 00:17:21,585 --> 00:17:22,939 Hilary Russo: What's the first step for somebody that 514 00:17:22,999 --> 00:17:25,093 Hilary Russo: comes to you as a patient or a potential 515 00:17:25,113 --> 00:17:25,395 Hilary Russo: patient? 516 00:17:25,716 --> 00:17:25,937 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yes. 517 00:17:26,117 --> 00:17:28,324 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So everybody who comes to me already has 518 00:17:28,746 --> 00:17:30,812 Dr. Nicolette Richer: years of diagnostic testing done. 519 00:17:30,872 --> 00:17:32,718 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They have years of lab results. 520 00:17:32,818 --> 00:17:33,941 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They have everything. 521 00:17:34,061 --> 00:17:35,284 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Most often I don't need. 522 00:17:35,304 --> 00:17:36,736 Dr. Nicolette Richer: There's only a few more tests that I need 523 00:17:36,756 --> 00:17:37,057 Dr. Nicolette Richer: done. 524 00:17:37,077 --> 00:17:38,761 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They're very minor, so they already have it. 525 00:17:38,801 --> 00:17:40,955 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Because they're on disability, they've had 526 00:17:40,996 --> 00:17:42,800 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their chronic disease for a long time, 527 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,146 Dr. Nicolette Richer: they're on 36 different medications, so 528 00:17:45,186 --> 00:17:47,058 Dr. Nicolette Richer: they don't need more testing. 529 00:17:47,138 --> 00:17:49,104 Dr. Nicolette Richer: This is the other side that drives me, and 530 00:17:49,144 --> 00:17:50,876 Dr. Nicolette Richer: if I can say this on the show, you can say 531 00:17:50,896 --> 00:17:53,101 Dr. Nicolette Richer: whatever you want Thank you, that shit. 532 00:17:53,141 --> 00:17:57,015 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Crazy is when a health coach takes on a new 533 00:17:57,055 --> 00:17:58,840 Dr. Nicolette Richer: client and then they just send them for 534 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,066 Dr. Nicolette Richer: these expensive tests that do not need to 535 00:18:01,106 --> 00:18:03,321 Dr. Nicolette Richer: be done, whereas they already have the 536 00:18:03,341 --> 00:18:03,964 Dr. Nicolette Richer: testing done. 537 00:18:04,024 --> 00:18:06,113 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We've seen their lab markers, we've seen 538 00:18:06,153 --> 00:18:07,797 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their hormone panels, we've seen everything. 539 00:18:07,877 --> 00:18:09,721 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So my clients come in, we already know 540 00:18:09,741 --> 00:18:10,863 Dr. Nicolette Richer: their full diagnosis. 541 00:18:11,104 --> 00:18:13,007 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I work with their entire medical team to 542 00:18:13,047 --> 00:18:14,029 Dr. Nicolette Richer: reverse their disease. 543 00:18:14,235 --> 00:18:16,203 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So the premise of what I teach is only 544 00:18:16,404 --> 00:18:18,632 Dr. Nicolette Richer: there's two things you have your chronic 545 00:18:18,672 --> 00:18:20,978 Dr. Nicolette Richer: disease because of two factors okay 546 00:18:21,279 --> 00:18:23,724 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Nutritional deficiency that resulted in 547 00:18:23,784 --> 00:18:26,529 Dr. Nicolette Richer: toxicity or toxicity that resulted in 548 00:18:26,615 --> 00:18:27,761 Dr. Nicolette Richer: nutritional deficiency. 549 00:18:28,063 --> 00:18:29,973 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You reverse those two factors and the 550 00:18:30,013 --> 00:18:30,777 Dr. Nicolette Richer: client heals. 551 00:18:30,938 --> 00:18:32,184 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Now people will say what about the 552 00:18:32,245 --> 00:18:34,074 Dr. Nicolette Richer: emotional side of it, which I know is 553 00:18:34,114 --> 00:18:35,959 Dr. Nicolette Richer: really a lot of the good work that you do. 554 00:18:36,861 --> 00:18:38,706 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Of course there's an emotional side of it, 555 00:18:38,806 --> 00:18:40,478 Dr. Nicolette Richer: but here's the thing Most of my clients 556 00:18:40,538 --> 00:18:42,182 Dr. Nicolette Richer: don't have the mental capacity anymore 557 00:18:42,243 --> 00:18:44,796 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because their brain fog is so bad that you 558 00:18:44,836 --> 00:18:47,060 Dr. Nicolette Richer: can coach the hell out of them and they 559 00:18:47,100 --> 00:18:48,742 Dr. Nicolette Richer: cannot remember what you just said. 560 00:18:48,802 --> 00:18:51,106 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They cannot implement the tools that you 561 00:18:51,146 --> 00:18:51,266 Dr. Nicolette Richer: know. 562 00:18:51,386 --> 00:18:53,549 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So the thing is is that we can reverse 563 00:18:53,610 --> 00:18:55,498 Dr. Nicolette Richer: those two things nutritional deficiency and 564 00:18:55,538 --> 00:18:57,504 Dr. Nicolette Richer: toxicity which really starts with the next 565 00:18:57,584 --> 00:19:00,121 Dr. Nicolette Richer: meal that they eat, the next meal they can 566 00:19:00,161 --> 00:19:00,884 Dr. Nicolette Richer: do it that day. 567 00:19:01,065 --> 00:19:03,154 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Within a day they can start to think 568 00:19:03,194 --> 00:19:05,138 Dr. Nicolette Richer: clearly, which means that they can address 569 00:19:05,299 --> 00:19:08,465 Dr. Nicolette Richer: yes, intergenerational trauma is 100% true 570 00:19:08,625 --> 00:19:10,649 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and affects probably everybody. 571 00:19:10,769 --> 00:19:10,969 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Right? 572 00:19:11,035 --> 00:19:13,241 Dr. Nicolette Richer: People have huge traumas, big T traumas, 573 00:19:13,341 --> 00:19:16,576 Dr. Nicolette Richer: little t traumas, emotional concussions All 574 00:19:16,637 --> 00:19:17,360 Dr. Nicolette Richer: humans have that. 575 00:19:17,455 --> 00:19:19,403 Dr. Nicolette Richer: If you're a human on the planet, you have 576 00:19:19,443 --> 00:19:19,603 Dr. Nicolette Richer: that. 577 00:19:20,155 --> 00:19:22,501 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So what we do is we just go in with the 578 00:19:22,541 --> 00:19:24,486 Dr. Nicolette Richer: simplest thing that every human does on any 579 00:19:24,506 --> 00:19:25,920 Dr. Nicolette Richer: given day, and that's that they eat food. 580 00:19:26,595 --> 00:19:28,118 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We just change the food that they're eating 581 00:19:28,479 --> 00:19:29,902 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and all of a sudden they heal, even though 582 00:19:29,942 --> 00:19:31,545 Dr. Nicolette Richer: they still have the big T traumas. 583 00:19:32,066 --> 00:19:33,308 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They still haven't even dealt with that. 584 00:19:33,408 --> 00:19:35,098 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But now that their brain is clear and their 585 00:19:35,158 --> 00:19:37,624 Dr. Nicolette Richer: body's nervous system is not in angst 586 00:19:37,745 --> 00:19:39,797 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because it's looking for nutrients or it's 587 00:19:39,817 --> 00:19:42,283 Dr. Nicolette Richer: highly toxic, all of a sudden they're able 588 00:19:42,343 --> 00:19:44,468 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to address the emotional side, or the 589 00:19:44,635 --> 00:19:47,778 Dr. Nicolette Richer: spiritual side, or their mental health as 590 00:19:47,818 --> 00:19:48,058 Dr. Nicolette Richer: well. 591 00:19:48,138 --> 00:19:49,779 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But we start with the physical first and 592 00:19:49,799 --> 00:19:50,280 Dr. Nicolette Richer: foremost. 593 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,922 Hilary Russo: Yeah, that's why you're the type of doctor 594 00:19:53,182 --> 00:19:55,684 Hilary Russo: I love to work with, because there is such 595 00:19:55,824 --> 00:19:58,846 Hilary Russo: a need for the liaison between the client, 596 00:19:58,886 --> 00:20:00,887 Hilary Russo: the patient and the doctor, and I think 597 00:20:00,927 --> 00:20:02,268 Hilary Russo: that's where health coaches come in. 598 00:20:02,288 --> 00:20:02,849 Hilary Russo: But what? 599 00:20:03,029 --> 00:20:05,070 Hilary Russo: Where you

doctors right, 609 00:20:22,500 --> 00:20:24,265 Hilary Russo: it's not just one, because we all have 610 00:20:24,285 --> 00:20:26,891 Hilary Russo: these areas that we focus on that we're 611 00:20:26,911 --> 00:20:29,207 Hilary Russo: there to support the client or the patient 612 00:20:29,267 --> 00:20:30,250 Hilary Russo: for the doctor, right? 613 00:20:30,380 --> 00:20:32,545 Hilary

00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:34,626 Hilary Russo: So what's the first step? 645 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:36,564 Dr. Nicolette Richer: The first step is when you go to the 646 00:21:36,584 --> 00:21:37,850 Dr. Nicolette Richer: grocery store is you have to know the 647 00:21:37,870 --> 00:21:39,618 Dr. Nicolette Richer: difference between processed food and 648 00:21:39,658 --> 00:21:40,442 Dr. Nicolette

--> 00:21:44,743 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They're afraid of supplements, they think 652 00:21:44,763 --> 00:21:45,467 Dr. Nicolette Richer: they're going to hurt them. 653 00:21:45,507 --> 00:21:46,815 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But again, that's because they're not 654 00:21:46,835 --> 00:21:48,522 Dr. Nicolette Richer: looking at the research that shows that 655 00:21:48,703 --> 00:21:51,349 Dr.

important things 713 00:23:39,345 --> 00:23:41,414 Dr. Nicolette Richer: you could do is actually use the heat from 714 00:23:41,454 --> 00:23:43,765 Dr. Nicolette Richer: your stove as medicine,

Hilary Russo: It's community. 751 00:24:50,744 --> 00:24:52,006 Hilary Russo: I mean, you're not alone in the battle. 752 00:24:52,046 --> 00:24:53,648 Hilary Russo: It's not one to one and there are benefits 753 00:24:53,688 --> 00:24:54,289 Hilary Russo: to one in one. 754 00:24:54,349 --> 00:24:56,693 Hilary Russo: But I think there's also real benefits to 755 00:24:56,733 --> 00:24:58,355 Hilary Russo: having community and knowing other people 756 00:24:58,395 --> 00:24:59,176 Hilary Russo: are going through something. 757 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,084 Hilary Russo: It might not be your specific battle, but 758 00:25:01,105 --> 00:25:02,548 Hilary Russo: we're all in this together kind of thing, 759 00:25:02,989 --> 00:25:04,052 Hilary Russo: right, you learn from others. 760 00:25:04,312 --> 00:25:10,607 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Yeah, and like, for example, andrew, you 761 00:25:10,627 --> 00:25:12,269 Dr. Nicolette Richer: know he suffered from 30 migraines. 762 00:25:12,289 --> 00:25:14,311 Dr. Nicolette Richer: A Everybody celebrated Miguel rheumatoid 763 00:25:14,351 --> 00:25:15,913 Dr. Nicolette Richer: arthritis on disability couldn't play 764 00:25:15,933 --> 00:25:18,095 Dr. Nicolette Richer: baseball anymore, which is his sport. 765 00:25:18,175 --> 00:25:20,343 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Couldn't work anymore, living alone at home 766 00:25:20,443 --> 00:25:22,489 Dr. Nicolette Richer: suffering from rheumatoid arthritis on all 767 00:25:22,509 --> 00:25:24,021 Dr. Nicolette Richer: of these prescription meds that were just 768 00:25:24,061 --> 00:25:25,364 Dr. Nicolette Richer: like slowly killing him. 769 00:25:25,444 --> 00:25:27,530 Dr. Nicolette Richer: When the day his doctors took him off his 770 00:25:27,630 --> 00:25:29,982 Dr. Nicolette Richer: last medication and declared him rheumatoid 771 00:25:30,002 --> 00:25:32,266 Dr. Nicolette Richer: arthritis free, we all celebrated. 772 00:25:32,407 --> 00:25:34,270 Dr. Nicolette Richer: His son died a month later. 773 00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:36,514 Dr. Nicolette Richer: We were all there to support him and hold 774 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,542 Dr. Nicolette Richer: him through that time. 775 00:25:37,682 --> 00:25:42,374 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So, yes, community is so, so, so important. 776 00:25:42,775 --> 00:25:46,783 Hilary Russo: What do you think is the biggest fad out 777 00:25:46,823 --> 00:25:48,787 Hilary Russo: there right now that you just wish people 778 00:25:48,827 --> 00:25:50,309 Hilary Russo: would just stop? 779 00:25:51,011 --> 00:25:51,432 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I don't know. 780 00:25:51,512 --> 00:25:54,648 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Keto for sure is one of the biggest ones. 781 00:25:54,729 --> 00:25:56,640 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Keto is just another name for the Atkins 782 00:25:56,780 --> 00:25:59,086 Dr. Nicolette Richer: diet, so everybody needs to know that that 783 00:25:59,126 --> 00:26:01,251 Dr. Nicolette Richer: created so much heart disease in the 80s. 784 00:26:01,391 --> 00:26:01,993 Hilary Russo: I remember that. 785 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,904 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So keto, I would say, is the one that is 786 00:26:03,984 --> 00:26:06,230 Dr. Nicolette Richer: doing the most harm to humans, to their 787 00:26:06,270 --> 00:26:08,001 Dr. Nicolette Richer: bodies and to the planet. 788 00:26:08,963 --> 00:26:12,390 Dr. Nicolette Richer: It is horrific when it's, you know, in a 789 00:26:12,430 --> 00:26:14,414 Dr. Nicolette Richer: time when we need to be consuming less meat 790 00:26:16,060 --> 00:26:17,245 Dr. Nicolette Richer: because we were told 100 years ago how you, 791 00:26:17,265 --> 00:26:19,434 Dr. Nicolette Richer: we need protein, we need fat, we need, you 792 00:26:19,454 --> 00:26:20,880 Dr. Nicolette Richer: know, all of these animal-based products. 793 00:26:21,020 --> 00:26:22,665 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And now, basically, governments around the 794 00:26:22,685 --> 00:26:24,510 Dr. Nicolette Richer: world are rewriting all their nutrition 795 00:26:24,530 --> 00:26:26,363 Dr. Nicolette Richer: programs to say, please stop eating so much 796 00:26:26,423 --> 00:26:26,664 Dr. Nicolette Richer: meat. 797 00:26:26,864 --> 00:26:28,608 Dr. Nicolette Richer: At the same time that all the keto 798 00:26:28,729 --> 00:26:31,081 Dr. Nicolette Richer: advocates came out, and all because of what? 799 00:26:31,101 --> 00:26:31,482 Dr. Nicolette Richer: They? 800 00:26:31,502 --> 00:26:32,965 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Sure, you can lose weight, but you're going 801 00:26:32,985 --> 00:26:34,187 Dr. Nicolette Richer: to clog your arteries doing it. 802 00:26:34,287 --> 00:26:38,575 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So I would say, keto Fasting is amazing, 803 00:26:38,755 --> 00:26:40,919 Dr. Nicolette Richer: for sure, there's no doubt about it, but 804 00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:43,144 Dr. Nicolette Richer: people are using it like it's the only 805 00:26:43,204 --> 00:26:45,168 Dr. Nicolette Richer: thing that they need to do, and it's so 806 00:26:45,328 --> 00:26:48,002 Dr. Nicolette Richer: important that, sure, if you're going to 807 00:26:48,042 --> 00:26:49,691 Dr. Nicolette Richer: eat within that eight hour period, that's 808 00:26:49,771 --> 00:26:52,001 Dr. Nicolette Richer: fine, but if you have a chronic disease, 809 00:26:52,222 --> 00:26:54,789 Dr. Nicolette Richer: you need nutrients all throughout the day, 810 00:26:55,170 --> 00:26:56,574 Dr. Nicolette Richer: and that is critical, especially if you're 811 00:26:56,594 --> 00:26:58,099 Dr. Nicolette Richer: trying to reverse something like a very 812 00:26:58,159 --> 00:27:00,224 Dr. Nicolette Richer: aggressive chronic disease like cancer, 813 00:27:01,006 --> 00:27:02,729 Dr. Nicolette Richer: where you have limited time on your hands. 814 00:27:02,810 --> 00:27:04,353 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Fasting is not going to get you there. 815 00:27:04,581 --> 00:27:07,702 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that's a challenge for me and, as well, 816 00:27:07,802 --> 00:27:09,809 Dr. Nicolette Richer: the kind of fasting people are doing. 817 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,126 Dr. Nicolette Richer: I'm a big proponent of intermittent fasting, 818 00:27:13,166 --> 00:27:16,693 Dr. Nicolette Richer: where you still consume some calories, but 819 00:27:16,813 --> 00:27:17,334 Dr. Nicolette Richer: not this. 820 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:19,084 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You know people who are running around, you 821 00:27:19,124 --> 00:27:22,482 Dr. Nicolette Richer: know consuming their one meal a day, which 822 00:27:22,522 --> 00:27:25,273 Dr. Nicolette Richer: you can do for a limited amount of time. 823 00:27:25,333 --> 00:27:26,798 Dr. Nicolette Richer: But again, you have to look at the 824 00:27:26,839 --> 00:27:28,162 Dr. Nicolette Richer: long-term studies as well. 825 00:27:28,323 --> 00:27:29,666 Dr. Nicolette Richer: And as well you have to know that you're 826 00:27:29,726 --> 00:27:33,082 Dr. Nicolette Richer: not a yeast molecule, you are not a yeast 827 00:27:33,402 --> 00:27:34,525 Dr. Nicolette Richer: species alone. 828 00:27:34,605 --> 00:27:38,012 Dr. Nicolette Richer: You are intricate human species. 829 00:27:38,173 --> 00:27:40,144 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So what happens in the laboratory in a 830 00:27:40,204 --> 00:27:42,770 Dr. Nicolette Richer: Petri dish, is not the same that happens to 831 00:27:42,810 --> 00:27:43,793 Dr. Nicolette Richer: a human in real life. 832 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,665 Dr. Nicolette Richer: That's busy, running around taking care of 833 00:27:45,705 --> 00:27:47,370 Dr. Nicolette Richer: kids, has stress, you know, because the 834 00:27:47,470 --> 00:27:49,543 Dr. Nicolette Richer: economy is taking in environmental toxins. 835 00:27:49,703 --> 00:27:54,072 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So it's really important that people are 836 00:27:54,252 --> 00:27:56,324 Dr. Nicolette Richer: critical of the scientific research that 837 00:27:56,344 --> 00:27:58,242 Dr. Nicolette Richer: gets published as well, and anybody can 838 00:27:58,262 --> 00:28:00,407 Dr. Nicolette Richer: take a course in how to you know understand 839 00:28:00,467 --> 00:28:02,962 Dr. Nicolette Richer: bias in a research and how to read the 840 00:28:03,023 --> 00:28:03,706 Dr. Nicolette Richer: entire study. 841 00:28:03,766 --> 00:28:05,192 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that's going to be really important is 842 00:28:05,252 --> 00:28:06,940 Dr. Nicolette Richer: we need to develop a scientifically 843 00:28:07,241 --> 00:28:09,586 Dr. Nicolette Richer: literate society, and anybody can do that. 844 00:28:09,647 --> 00:28:11,612 Dr. Nicolette Richer: My kids are teenagers and they know how to 845 00:28:11,672 --> 00:28:13,362 Dr. Nicolette Richer: read through scientific journals now, and 846 00:28:13,403 --> 00:28:14,865 Dr. Nicolette Richer: so this is something we need to be teaching 847 00:28:14,925 --> 00:28:15,366 Dr. Nicolette Richer: in school. 848 00:28:15,446 --> 00:28:18,512 Dr. Nicolette Richer: So that's also one of the big fads is that 849 00:28:18,792 --> 00:28:21,143 Dr. Nicolette Richer: our education system is also needs an 850 00:28:21,203 --> 00:28:21,584 Dr. Nicolette Richer: overhaul. 851 00:28:22,246 --> 00:28:23,610 Hilary Russo: Oh, that could be a whole nother 852 00:28:23,650 --> 00:28:24,332 Hilary Russo: conversation. 853 00:28:26,101 --> 00:28:27,364 Hilary Russo: I agree with that, not just. 854 00:28:27,424 --> 00:28:28,467 Hilary Russo: I mean in all areas. 855 00:28:28,507 --> 00:28:30,452 Hilary Russo: It's not your everyday home ec, home ec, 856 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:31,343 Hilary Russo: like when we grew up. 857 00:28:31,484 --> 00:28:33,612 Hilary Russo: You know, and I'm so happy to see that some 858 00:28:33,672 --> 00:28:36,222 Hilary Russo: schools are taking that really seriously, 859 00:28:36,402 --> 00:28:38,588 Hilary Russo: both nutrition and mental health, 860 00:28:38,648 --> 00:28:40,172 Hilary Russo: mindfulness, you know, bringing those into 861 00:28:40,192 --> 00:28:40,841 Hilary Russo: the classroom. 862 00:28:41,042 --> 00:28:43,428 Hilary Russo: So hopefully we will see a change with more 863 00:28:43,528 --> 00:28:44,591 Hilary Russo: champions like yourself. 864 00:28:44,671 --> 00:28:47,224 Hilary Russo: I know we have a little time left and I 865 00:28:47,264 --> 00:28:49,448 Hilary Russo: just want to remind folks that there is a 866 00:28:49,488 --> 00:28:52,721 Hilary Russo: wonderful course, that that the doctor is 867 00:28:52,761 --> 00:28:55,106 Hilary Russo: putting out, and it's called eat real to 868 00:28:55,166 -->
