Hello, I'm Angela Sharp, and thank you for joining us
15
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:00.799
on a Sharp Outlook. To day, we're going to be
16
00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:04.280
talking about a healthy lifestyle, something that all of us
17
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:09.000
need to engage in. If you've been feeling overwhelmed by
18
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:13.040
all the conflicting advice out there, you're in good company today.
19
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:17.519
Between Google, rabbit holes and influencer rules, it can start
20
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:20.879
to feel like your body's signals are getting drowned by
21
00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:25.680
everyone else's opinions. That's exactly why my Guest Today created
22
00:01:25.799 --> 00:01:32.480
her Anti Inflammation Kickstart guide. Inside you'll find clear, realistic
23
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:37.159
habits that work with your life, not against it. No counting,
24
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:42.120
cutting or obsessing, just small shifts that help you feel
25
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:47.359
better from the inside out. Imagine waking up without the
26
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.799
heaviness in your body, your energy throughout the day, your
27
00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.480
belly calm after meals, your mind clear enough to actually
28
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:58.680
enjoy the evening. That's what happens when you give your
29
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:05.799
body consists and see instead of chaos. Here we're going
30
00:02:05.879 --> 00:02:09.840
to be talking about this and there is a free
31
00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:13.840

00:02:13.919 --> 00:02:16.800

00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.400

61
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:33.160
Thanks Angela, happy to be here.
62
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:38.920
Yes, well, you mentioned something about all sort of colitis
63
00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.639
at the age of five. Goodness, that had to be
64
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.480
really difficult for you. I had all sort of colitis
65
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:52.439
at the age of seventeen and eighteen years and.
66
00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:54.000
It was devastating.
67
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:55.560
It had to be difficult for you.
68
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.920
Yeah, it was. I mean there was a lot of painful,
69
00:05:00.560 --> 00:05:01.480
that's for sure.
70
00:05:01.959 --> 00:05:05.279
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
71
00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:08.560
It's not something people at five years old are usually
72
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:13.319
diagnosed with, and yours at seventeen was pretty young too.
73
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.519
People don't get diagnosed with that like until they're late
74
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:19.839
thirties or forties.
75
00:05:21.360 --> 00:05:25.959
And what I did find out was that it was
76
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:32.920
related to inflammation. So I'm excited to finally, you know,
77
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.639
know the truth. I mean, I suffered desperately, and I
78
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.279
know others that are out there they are suffering also,
79
00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:42.920
you know, with a lot of pain and different things.
80
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:47.199
And so we'll talk about that more. But your plans
81
00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:53.600
incorporating whole fiber rich and anti inflammatory foods like oats, beans, flax,
82
00:05:53.959 --> 00:05:58.040
and healthy fats like avocado into the diet. You also
83
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.040
recommend reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates. How's that working out
84
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:08.839
with your clients, you know, especially pushing back with the sweets.
85
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:15.680
Sweets and sugar is always a hot topic. Yeah, so
86
00:06:15.759 --> 00:06:18.680
all of those things can help with inflammation. And how
87
00:06:18.759 --> 00:06:22.680
is it working out with clients? You know, most of
88
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:26.319
my clients come to me, they already know sugar is
89
00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:30.800
bad for them. It's a matter of uncovering the why
90
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:34.639
behind the habit of you know, reaching for those refined
91
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:39.319
carbs and sweets. And you know, sometimes that why is
92
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:43.800
like habit related, or it can be stress or comfort
93
00:06:43.839 --> 00:06:46.680
they get from eating them. So like digging into that
94
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.399
emotional reason why they're reaching for those things.
95
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.759
Oh yeah, absolutely, And I think there might even be
96
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.959
a misunderstanding. Everybody thinks sweets only effect you know, your
97
00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:06.000
body and causes diabetes as a whole other issue, but
98
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:10.959
they don't realize that it's causing inflammation, which really brings
99
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:16.199
about multiple diseases are caused by inflammation. You highlight the
100
00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:22.199
importance of daily movement, also prioritizing sleep and staying hydrated.
101
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:25.839
Do you treat people with old types and is there
102
00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.560
an age range?
103
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:32.079
So I treat people with all body types.
104
00:07:33.519 --> 00:07:37.560
I typically work with driven women in their thirties to fifties.
105
00:07:37.720 --> 00:07:42.759
They're usually professionals juggling a lot, dealing with stress and
106
00:07:43.160 --> 00:07:47.519
got issues and inflammation. So you know, body type doesn't matter.
107
00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:53.399
Mindset is what matters. So I start with my clients
108
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:57.000
like where their body is at today, and every plan
109
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:02.480
is personalized for that person's lifestyle, all stress and the
110
00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:03.680
goals they want to reach.
111
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:06.279
That's what guides the approach for their program.
112
00:08:07.240 --> 00:08:11.480
Well, you mentioned managing the stress. I hear that all
113
00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.800
the time from my physician. You have to manage your stress.
114
00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:18.600
You know, I need somebody to help me understand what
115
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:21.759
that is. Managing stress as a cool component of overall
116
00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.920
well being and managing physical health markers like cholesterol.
117
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:30.720
What does that mean? Oh exactly, I get that question
118
00:08:30.839 --> 00:08:31.480
all the time.
119
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:40.480
So stress affects everything. It affects digestion, hormones, sleep, and
120
00:08:40.519 --> 00:08:46.120
your cholesterol. So like when you're under chronic stress, meaning
121
00:08:46.200 --> 00:08:48.600
like stress all of the time, which you know.
122
00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.519
Everyone has stress. You're not going to get through life
123
00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.320
without stress.
124
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:59.799
So when you're under the chronic stress, your body releases cortisol,
125
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:03.279
which signals the liver to release more sugar and fat
126
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:11.320
into the bloodstream, and that includes the LDL cholesterol. So
127
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.279
that's why stress management isn't just like mental health, it's
128
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.559
metabolic health as well. So I teach what I call
129
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:26.559
micro call moments, and these are simple resets you can
130
00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:33.240
build into your day. So resets for example, like just
131
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:36.200
even two deep breaths before a meeting. I did that
132
00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.120
before we got on here, and it took like, you know,
133
00:09:39.799 --> 00:09:47.120
thirty seconds or a quick stretch between calls. And then
134
00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:50.879
you know, one thing that's really important today is creating
135
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.559
boundaries with your with your device because once you open
136
00:09:55.679 --> 00:09:58.279
up your phone, you know, you have all these alerts
137
00:09:58.480 --> 00:10:01.080
and those all it can be triggers for.
138
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:06.519
People, right right, I've never had it out all these years.
139
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:13.120
There's a lot. I've never had anyone exactly explain why
140
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:17.519
they kept telling me manage your stress. I never realized
141
00:10:17.639 --> 00:10:21.960
it affects you know, cholesterol and all those other things.
142
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:25.480
And then you know, releasing things you know into the body,
143
00:10:25.960 --> 00:10:29.080
and especially that cortisol thing. I know about that cortisol
144
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:33.679
that's really is a problem. And that's why you can
145
00:10:34.159 --> 00:10:36.799
have you know, the ulcer of colidos and the crones.
146
00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:40.759
This inflammation just builds up and but I didn't understand
147
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:42.279
what it was.
148
00:10:42.440 --> 00:10:46.240
Thank you for yeah, my pleasure, and you know, even
149
00:10:46.639 --> 00:10:50.080
taking it just one step further, so stress can cause
150
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.759
as much inflammation in your body as food.
151
00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.399
Well, okay, I'm going to get on it. I'm going
152
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:02.600
to get on and I'm going to start taking a
153
00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:06.200
couple of breaths and you know, just you know, touch
154
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:09.279
the floor and then stand up and reach for the
155
00:11:09.320 --> 00:11:12.240
sky just a couple of times, just to like calm
156
00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:12.840
it down.
157
00:11:13.840 --> 00:11:14.039
Yeah.
158
00:11:14.799 --> 00:11:17.320
I you know, like I said, I've lived with all
159
00:11:17.320 --> 00:11:20.759
sorts of collidis. I know what stress can do, and
160
00:11:20.840 --> 00:11:25.120
I know what inflammation can do, and so and you
161
00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.240
don't want to wait until you get to that point.
162
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.279
So yeah, it's time to learn how to calm down.
163
00:11:30.320 --> 00:11:33.039
And that's what we need to do. You recommend the
164
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.399
use of natural remedies like dandelion and green tea to
165
00:11:37.440 --> 00:11:41.960
support liver health, digestion, and cholesterol levels as part of
166
00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:43.159
the balance lifestyle.
167
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:47.679
Yes, all very important.
168
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:53.679
And you know natural support works best when it's part.
169
00:11:53.480 --> 00:11:55.159
Of a balanced foundation.
170
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:58.600
So you know, not using those things is just a
171
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:01.399
quick fix, but you know it's part of your health
172
00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:02.720
foundation if you will.
173
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.080
Yeah, well I have my dandelion tea and my pantry.
174
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:16.159
Oh yeah, yeah, you know, after that battle with colitis
175
00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.240
and and finding out that all I needed to do
176
00:12:19.399 --> 00:12:25.879
was get control of my inflammation. And this native medicine
177
00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:30.840
woman told me to drink Devil's Claw and they you
178
00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:37.279
know it not only did it calm the cholesterol. From
179
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:40.240
the time I drank it thirty five years ago, I
180
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.320
have never had another episode. And I've had my colonoscopies
181
00:12:44.679 --> 00:12:49.720
and it's not there. And so, you know, I speak
182
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:52.840
highly and I tell people just do this, you will
183
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:58.279
find the inflammation going away. And it's so. And then
184
00:12:58.320 --> 00:13:03.159
of course the dandale. Yeah, and just just a reminder,
185
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:08.240
not all teas tastes good, but keep in mind the
186
00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:12.720
sicknesses doesn't taste good either, So just drink the tea
187
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:13.960
and be well.
188
00:13:15.879 --> 00:13:18.200
So what does Devil's Claw teaste like?
189
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:24.559
It's terrible, It's like the worst, But you just get
190
00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:29.759
it down and you can immediately feel the joints you
191
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:33.840
know that feel swollen, in the fingers that feel swollen,
192
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:36.879
and you know, suffering the pain that you're feeling. You
193
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:43.679
feel like immediate improvement. And so and the fact that
194
00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.200
I saw that happen in my life is just something
195
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:50.679
that I really really really uh talk about on a
196
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:55.360
regular basis. So how do you find define holistic health
197
00:13:55.720 --> 00:14:00.399
and why is it important for especially busy professionals.
198
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:01.600
Yeah.
199
00:14:01.639 --> 00:14:11.559
So holistic health means the whole person. So food, mindset, boundaries, relationships, joy,
200
00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:17.759
and nutrition, like it's all connected. So basically you can
201
00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.960
eat perfectly and still feel awful if your life is
202
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:22.960
out of alignment.
203
00:14:23.360 --> 00:14:29.240
M Yeah, getting into balance I think. I think especially professionals,
204
00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:32.960
because there's so much demand in so many areas, you
205
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.080
don't know how to cut it off. You know, you
206
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.720
don't know how to close the door and say, okay,
207
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.639
I'm taking my professional hat off. I don't want to
208
00:14:40.679 --> 00:14:45.200
hear anything, do anything, and then you start, you know, enjoying,
209
00:14:45.799 --> 00:14:49.320
enjoying your time. I've had to do that over the years.
210
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.879
Just I just consider them as hats. I'm wearing this
211
00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.320
hat for right now, but I'm going to take it off.
212
00:14:55.360 --> 00:14:57.519
I have this hat on for right now, and I'm
213
00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.080
going to take it off. And when I take my
214
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.720
hat off, leave it behind if you if somebody would call,
215
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:07.720
I'm sorry, I don't have that hat on right now. I,
216
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.159
you know, maintain that calm and that balance in my
217
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:14.240
life because you know, there are life has a lot
218
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.080
of demands just all by itself, and then when you
219
00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:21.120
have children, those are demands also, and then you have
220
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.440
you know, other things that you're working at. I mean,
221
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:28.159
it's it can get overwhelming, it really can. So yeah,
222
00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:34.759
I know, yeah, I never thought about holistic being everything
223
00:15:34.799 --> 00:15:39.720
that you're doing. I was always thinking it was okay,
224
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:45.039
I'm eating holistically, you know, I'm taking things holistically, but
225
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.360
never thought about just my every day life being part
226
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:53.720
of that whole holistic plan. Yeah, that's just incredible.
227
00:15:54.440 --> 00:15:58.480
Like health is health does bill into your daily systems.
228
00:15:58.879 --> 00:16:02.519
You know, are busy professionals, you know, if you have
229
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:07.480
a sustainable system that gives you more freedom, not restriction,
230
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.879
and then you know you're you mentioned like people with kids,
231
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:14.399
and then like it's even like more more things to do,
232
00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:19.240
more stressful, and then the kids are looking to the parents,
233
00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:23.399
you know for examples. So you know, just making sure
234
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:27.240
the kids know how to eat healthy, you know, to
235
00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:30.440
live long, healthy, happy.
236
00:16:30.159 --> 00:16:33.879
Lives, right right, don't start them out on all of
237
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:39.200
those carbohydrates and snacks and things that you know, and
238
00:16:39.240 --> 00:16:43.200
you know, these days maybe before we didn't have as
239
00:16:43.279 --> 00:16:47.200
much information and knowledge, but you can go in and
