Don’t lose passion for life and don’t let unhappiness rob you of joy instead let’s
stop gloominess in its tracks and start with where it all starts right in the gut.
Have you lost the zeal and zest for happiness in life?
Do you find yourself wondering when you’re gonna have more energy, more enthusiasm?
And let me ask you this, have you stopped dreaming?
Are you the type of person that waits for the end of the day only so that you can go
home and be alone?
If the answer is yes I have seven tips and seven strategies that you can do to help fix
your gut.
You see 95 percent of the serotonin in your body starts in your gut as we’ve talked
about in the past.
We’ve talked about in the past the happy chemical, that neurochemical that you get
in your brain and you want adequate amounts of serotonin to really feel this life’s
experience, to really live in the moment, to really be present with the people that
you love and care about.
So how do we get more serotonin?
I’m gonna give you seven ways to do that right here right now but first I wanna talk
to you about one of the biggest things that can damage your gut to really rob you of your
enthusiasm and your joy and decrease your mood throughout the day.
I wanna share a personal story with you, it’s something that I’ve dealt with in a very
young age you know from the age of probably 4 – 5 years old all the way ‘til I was
um, started FitLife essentially and that is living in Michigan, eating processed foods,
artificial sweeteners, a lot of stuff that’s really bad for my diet and then damaged my
gut.
You see it was feeding the bad bacteria.
For me feeling great wasn’t an option you know, twice a year I had this chronic sinus
infection and at the time the thing that the doctor would do is give me antibiotics.
Antibiotics actually destroy the good and the bad bacteria.
They feed the bad bacteria creating an environment that is unsettling for health.
I really couldn’t be focused with the people that I loved.
I couldn’t be present and it wasn’t until I started changing my diet and putting things
in my body that started to change that micro gut biome and adjusted the way that my body
responded.
I got rid of the allergens in my body.
I started feeding the good bacteria.
You’ve seen me talk about kefir and turmeric in the past and how we can make this as concoctions
that actually feed the good probiotics.
The prebiotics that are in there.
I believe that this week Saturday Strategy could be the Saturday Strategy that if you’ve
been depressed, if you’ve been sad, if you’ve wondered why your mood is erratic.
If you’re sitting in traffic and all of the sudden you get upset for no reason, you’re
impatient, you’re honking your horn, you’re getting upset with your loved ones, your kids
are out playing in the yard and something happens and you get upset with your kids and
it’s a little irrational.
Your wife gets mad at you or your husbands, honey what’s going on?
Why is your mood imbalanced?
These are all the things that are symptoms of something that’s happening deep inside
of you that most people are simply unaware of.
You see 50 percent of America suffers from untreated depression and what’s alarming
is twice that are women.
The percentage goes up when you’re a woman for some reason.
Antidepressant use has jumped 400 percent from 1998 to 2008.
Just a short decade and that was quoted in Time magazine.
That’s huge!
It’s the most common prescribed medicine on the planet today.
That’s a bunch of sad people walking around.
Alright so what’s crazy is every 20 minutes your microbiome is changing, that means it’s
so imperative to focus on what you eat.
Not only you are what you eat but you are what you absorb and what that means basically
is that you are what your bacteria eats inside of you.
You actually have more bacteria in your body than your blood cells which is unbelievable.
You’re not really a human being, you’re actually a human wearing a suit and the bacteria
is inside of you.
You’re actually a bacteria being.
Alright so the biggest tip and you already know this, chances are you’re doing it is
cleaning up your diet or at least making progress to do so.
Getting rid of the artificial sweeteners, getting rid of the sugar, the dairy, the wheat
and incorporating living foods.
Hopefully you’re juicing.
Juicing is number two.
I juice every single day at least 32 ounces of fresh green juice, little bit of ginger,
little bit of lemon and a lot of dandelion greens.
I love that stuff.
Number three is, can you guess it?
Exercise, that’s right!
That’s one of the only things in the world that increases neurogenesis.
Neurogenesis is those new brain cells.
Exercise every single day doesn’t matter what it is 10 – 20 minutes even if you’re
getting up, sitting down on your couch for 10 minutes in a row you’re getting a workout
on it.
And number four is get outside of your head and start meditating, that’s the best way
to do that.
If its five minutes at first just sitting quietly maybe for the first week you can’t
get outside of your mind but eventually you’re going to tap into this unified field of love.
You’re gonna start developing more compassion for yourself, you’re gonna start looking
at yourself differently.
You’re gonna start observing other people with more awareness and more compassion eventually
and that’s powerful.
Number five is practice gratitude every single day.
We all know that gratitude changes the cellular structure of your DNA.
In just getting grateful can actually alter water when you do it as oppose to getting
upset with it.
There’s so many studies based on this and it’s so important to spend at least 10 minutes
every single day writing down everything that you’re grateful for.
It’ll change everything in your life within a week if you commit to just doing that one
thing.
Number six is doing something for somebody else.
You see it’s so easy to be depressed and get caught up in your own mind, woe is me,
the sky is falling, I can’t make my own car payment this month, my rent is way too
expensive, I got taxes coming in, the kids are so expensive, I got to pay for their tuition
in college, whatever it is you’re thinking about you.
You’re thinking about what you have to do and that’s a very dangerous place to be
my friend.
You see when you start to get outside of you and you start living from this authentic place
of how can I improve other people’s lives?
The less time you spend up here, the less chatter you have in your own mind and the
more effective that you can be in the universe.
And number seven this is one of the simplest things that you can do is to take a daily
probiotic every single day.
You see pro coming from for life, biotic is bacteria.
Its living bacteria that you are essentially putting in your gut, it’s changing the infrastructure,
its giving those guys, the allies that they need to combat that bad bacteria and that
bad bacteria is responsible for putting your serotonin in a headlock and choking it out
not allowing it to go up in your brain to experience this flood of love, this flood
of positivity, this flood of life giving, looking at the world the different way than
you’ve ever looked at it before and really feeling what’s it’s like to be human and
that’s why I love taking one probiotic every single day.
And I have some exiting news for you my friend, we’ve been working on probiotic over the
past two years you see, we’ve taken 10 of the best strains on the planet that feed those
good guys.
They give you the good bacteria, I mean if you’ve been watching FitLife TV three years
ago we shot a video on probiotics, if you saw that video then you’re educated, you’re
the person that I’m talking to, you’re probably taking a probiotic right now and
you’re the type of person that knows by taking it, it radically transforms your gut.
You see you are not what you eat, you are what you absorb and what your bacteria are
able to absorb.
You know I love green juicing because when you juice, 15 minutes it goes in your esophagus,
your enzymes, your amylase, the digestive starts to break it down, goes through your
stomach, large, small intestines, through your liver, into your mitochondria cells in
about 15 minutes which is a very powerful thing.
You can just juice right?
You got to eat real food but when you’re eating real food the problem is, is most people
aren’t developing the enzymes anymore that they need to break the food down.
They don’t have the bacteria necessary to really assimilate and absorb the nutrients
from the food.
So what happens?
The average Americans eats 4,000 calories a day.
4,000 calories, why do they do that?
Well they’re not starving, they’re eating more than they ever have but they’re not
getting the nutrients, they’re not getting the micronutrients, they’re not getting
the enzyme, the aminos, the things that you need.
In this juice recipe that I’m gonna show you in a second is loaded with those enzymes,
it’s loaded with those nutrients that can radically alter the face of your reality but
taking a probiotic was number seven.
In soon, we will be releasing our own probiotic that we’ve been working diligently on.
If you’ve been following me on Facebook maybe you’ve seen pictures of it?
And I’m excited to share it with you.
I know when I start taking it everything starts to change in my life.
Alright so sunshine in a cup juice recipe.
It’s real simple, you just need about four pieces of kale.
Now you know the seven types of kale really doesn’t matter what type of kale on this.
I like the flavor of the red kale that we use in this recipe today.
It’s actually loaded with magnesium which is so essential for serotonin production about
400 other biochemical transactions.
We have red pepper, it’s gonna add a little bit of sweetness to this as well.
I love the sweetness of red pepper instead of using like an apple or something that has
a lot of sugar in it.
Red pepper actually have a lot of benefits as well, one of them being vitamin B6 which
is vital for serotonin production as well.
Ginger it’s almost like hasten dilation effect and it helps thin the blood, it helps
with cognitive function.
I put tons of ginger on my juices, people think I’m crazy when I try these things
but I absolutely love it.
Lemon, one of the most alkalizing foods on the planet.
Good to alkaline your gut and the flavor is really going to add an enhancement to it.
it’s gonna make the flavor a little bit stronger, a little bit more bold and that’s
how we like our green juice.
And then celery, celery is going to add liquid to it, tons of minerals that are necessary
for serotonin production increasing circulation and metabolism.
I love a little celery in my juice.
So this is liquid sunshine in a cup juice recipe.

Ste has done a phenomenal job right?
We always choose somebody who’s a true FitLifer and Ste is.
Here is the reason, he quit smoking seven years ago.
He swapped out smoking for eating healthy food, he got rid of fast food, he started
juicing, he started making some smoothies, so he’s on the right track and because he
is on the right track I wanted to send him a juicer from FitLife TV on us so that he
can continue on his journey because when he continues on his journey, everybody that Ste
comes in contact with they feel his presence, they feel his powerful energy and they start
to transform.
