KNOW
KNOW IT'S
KNOW IT'S JUST AFTER EIGHT O'CLOCK THIS MORNING. IT'S THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. ARE YOU
TIRED? ARE YOU NOT TIRED? ARE
YOU STRUGGLING TO GET OUT
OF BED? WELL, YOU MIGHT THINK
IT'S BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
PERHAPS YOU'RE GETTING OLDER
BUT WE HAVE THE AUTHOR OF THIS
BOOK RIGHT HERE. YOU READ THE
TITLE DR. AMY. SHE SAYS YOU DO
NOT NEED TO FEEL THIS WAY. I
THINK SO MANY PEOPLE YOU KNOW,
ESPECIALLY THIS YEAR ARE JUST
TIRED. DR. AMY, WHY IS THIS
HAPPENING? WE'RE SO GLAD TO
HAVE YOU ON. GOOD MORNING.
FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR HAVING ME. IF YOU ARE LIKE
SEVENTY PERCENT OF PEOPLE YOU
ARE FEELING TIRED AND THIS HAS
GONE UP THIRTY THREE PERCENT IN
THE LAST YEAR OF THE PANDEMIC
WE'RE DOING LESS YET WE ARE
MORE TIRED AND BURNED OUT THAN
EVER. SO THAT'S REALLY WHAT I
COVER IN THE BOOK. IT'S IT'S
THREE BIG THINGS THAT I THINK
ARE BROKEN IN OUR SYSTEM IN OUR
WESTERN AMERICAN SYSTEM IS WE
HAVE BROKEN CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS.
THAT MEANS A LIGHT AND DARKNESS
CYCLES THAT RULE OUR DAY. SO
WE'RE NOT GETTING ENOUGH MAJOR
TIME THAT WE'RE GETTING TOO
LIGHT AT NIGHT AND THEN WE'RE
EATING LATE INTO THE NIGHT. SO
CIRCADIAN NO TO OUR GOOD HEALTH
IS SO POOR. I MEAN I TALK ABOUT
ADDING VEGETABLE FIBER SIX TO
EIGHT SERVINGS A DAY. THAT IS A
LOT OF FIBER FOR MOST PEOPLE
AND I TALK ABOUT ADDING TI WITH
SPICES AND THEN THE NUMBER
THREE THING THAT'S BROKEN IS
PSYCHOBIOLOGY. SO YOU KNOW AND
I KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHTS CAN
EXHAUST YOU AND THIS YEAR THIS
BECOME MORE EVIDENT THAN EVER.
SO I TALK ABOUT KIND OF THINGS
TO DO TO MANAGE YOUR ENERGY
FROM YOUR EMOTIONS IN YOUR HEAD
AS WELL AND FOR YOU YOUR DOES
YOUR BACKGROUND YOU'RE A DOCTOR
NUTRITIONIST AND NOW YOU WROTE
THIS BOOK. HOW DID ALL OF THIS
EVEN COME TOGETHER FOR YOU? WHY
WAS IT SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO
DO SO? I WROTE THE BOOK BECAUSE
I MYSELF WAS IN A DARK PLACE. I
WAS IN THAT PLACE OF BURNOUT
AND FATIGUE AND YOU KNOW, IT
WAS SO FRUSTRATING BECAUSE I
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH
ME AND I WENT TO THE DOCTOR
BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE AS A
DOCTOR I'M NOT TREATING MYSELF
RIGHT AND I GOT THE BLOOD TESTS
AND EVERYTHING WAS WITHIN
NORMAL LIMITS AND THEN THERE
WAS JUST REALLY NO TOOLS AFTER
THAT THEY JUST SAID OH, YOU'RE
JUST GETTING OLDER, YOU HAVE
KIDS, YOU HAVE A JOB. MAYBE
THAT'S WHY IT AND SO I SEARCHED
MYSELF AND I MADE A TON
OF MISTAKES AND BUT THERE WERE
THINGS THAT DID WORK AND THAT'S
WHAT I TALK ABOUT IN THE BOOK.
I ACTUALLY GIVE A FULL PLAN IN
THE LATTER HALF THE BOOK WITH
FOODS, WITH TIMINGS, SPECIFIC
THINGS YOU CAN DO IN YOUR DAY
AS A BUSY PERSON TO STOP THIS
TRAIN OF BURNOUT AND I'M SO
GLAD THAT WE HAVE ONE BECAUSE
SO MANY PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH
THIS AND WE TALK ABOUT
INTERMITTENT FASTING THAT
BECAME THIS NEW DIET TREND. BUT
YOU'RE SAYING THAT PEOPLE ARE
GETTING THAT WRONG. WHAT DO YOU
SUGGEST HOW WHAT HOURS OF OUR
DAY SHOULD WE BE EATING? WHEN
SHOULD WE STOP EATING? WHAT IS
YOUR RECOMMENDATION? I SAY THAT
INTERMITTENT FASTING IS GOOD
BUT CIRCADIAN FASTING IS
BETTER. WHAT THAT MEANS IS
INTERMITTENT INTERMITTENT
FASTING MEAN ANYTHING? IT'S
LIKE SAYING THE WORD EXERCISE
THAT CAN MEAN YOGA OR THAT CAN
BE A MARATHON RIGHT. SO
INTERMITTENT FASTING IS THE
SAME THING CINCHING THE
INTERMITTENT FASTING TO STAY
WITH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS IS
WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH
CIRCADIAN FASTING STOPPING YOUR
MEALS TWO TO THREE HOURS BEFORE
BED. SO THAT MIGHT BE EIGHT
P.M. FOR SOME SEVEN P.M. AND
THEN SLEEPING OVERNIGHT NOT
EATING ANYTHING UNTIL THE NEXT
MORNING AND MAYBE IT'S JUST
TWELVE HOURS OF THAT THAT EVEN
THAT IS WAY BETTER THAN WHAT
WE'RE DOING IN OUR NORMAL WORLD
.WE EAT SIXTEEN HOURS A DAY SO
EVEN TRUNCATING UP TO TWELVE
HOURS A DAY CAN HELP SO SEVEN
P.M. TO SEVEN A.M. OR EIGHT TO
EIGHT A.M. IS ALL I'M ASKING
AND THEN MAYBE IF YOU GET GOOD
AT IT YOU WANT TO PUSH IT TO
THIRTEEN OR FOURTEEN HOURS
MAYBE YOU WANT TO DO A FASTING
WORKOUT BEFORE YOU HAVE YOUR
BREAKFAST. SO THAT'S THE
RECOMMENDATION THAT I GIVE IN
THE BOOK. SEE OK THAT SEEMS
DOABLE. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
SHARING THAT. I KNOW YOUR BOOK
WILL HAVE A LOT MORE IN THERE
BEFORE WE GO WE JUST HAVE A FEW
SECONDS LEFT BUT YOU KNOW AS
FAR AS WHAT'S HAPPENING THAT'S
MESSING WITH OUR HORMONES. I
KNOW THAT'S A BIG LOADED
QUESTION BUT WHAT ARE WE DOING?
WHAT CAN WE DO TO KIND
OF ADJUST THAT AND MAKE OUR
HORMONES LEVELED? THE BIGGEST
THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT YOUR
HORMONES ARE NOT ONE MORE IT'S
NOT JUST YOUR THYROID OR YOUR
ADRENAL OR YOUR OVARIES.
REMEMBER THAT IT'S LIKE A
HIGHWAY AND THE HIGHWAYS STARTS
IN YOUR BRAIN WITH THESE CARS
THE HORMONAL HORMONES ARE
CHEMICAL MESSENGERS THAT TRAVEL
IN THESE CARS AND IF YOU THINK
ABOUT FIXING THE WHOLE SYSTEM,
THE WHOLE SYSTEM GETS FIXED TO
GET HELP THROUGH FIXING YOUR
CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS THROUGH
MINDSET WORK THROUGH BETTER
DIET. THESE THINGS CAN FIX YOUR
ENTIRE HORMONAL SYSTEM. SO IT'S
NOT JUST THYROID OR FATIGUE,
IT'S THE WHOLE SYSTEM. OK, DR.
AMY, SO GOOD TO THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR INSIGHT.
IT IS GREAT TO HAVE
