Now I don't talk about supplements very often on the podcast, but I definitely do use supplements in my regular routine.
00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:43.020
It's something I chat about directly to my clients, but just because it's not broad, broad generalization information, I don't generally talk about it on the podcast, but some of the mixers products have become.
00:00:43.259 --> 00:00:45.090

Welcome back to the eat well, think well, live well podcast.

I am more than delighted to have Cody Sanders with me today.
00:01:56.626 --> 00:02:02.947
She is the owner and co founder of MixHers, which I have started to use in the last probably eight months.
00:02:04.042 --> 00:02:08.882
Absolutely delighted with a lot of the products that I have tried from MixHers.
00:02:08.901 --> 00:02:11.331
So I'm so, so excited to speak with Cody today.
00:02:11.331 --> 00:02:15.931
So welcome, if you could introduce yourself and tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do.
00:02:16.727 --> 00:02:17.447
I'd love to.
00:02:17.447 --> 00:02:19.097
And I'm so happy to be here, Lisa.
00:02:19.127 --> 00:02:20.016
Thanks for having me.
00:02:20.407 --> 00:02:22.306
and I'm happy that you've tried some of our products.
00:02:22.306 --> 00:02:28.877
I'll get into that, a little bit too, what MixHers actually is, but a little background on me is I'm a holistic.
00:02:29.016 --> 00:02:33.847
I'm a holistic health practitioner and a functional nutritionist, and I had a private practice.
00:02:33.847 --> 00:02:40.046
I worked with one on one clients and then, you know, through telehealth for about 25 years.
00:02:40.086 --> 00:02:55.067
And I worked with women mostly, but also men who were trying to, whether it was weight loss or whether it was trying to find the right tools to help them through a health challenge, whether it was cancer, diabetes, things like that.
00:02:55.067 --> 00:03:03.072
And it eventually, my practice just kind of, you know, Organically kind of shifted into working with women and their hormonal health.
00:03:03.102 --> 00:03:08.481
And so, that became obviously something that I became passionate as well, because I am a woman.
00:03:08.502 --> 00:03:24.046
And as I started getting into my forties and so on, I started noticing, All of the crazy things that can happen as your hormones start to shift and the changes that come with that, whether that's with your metabolism, your energy levels, your, you know, all the things, the moods and all of that.
00:03:24.306 --> 00:03:29.697
And so I just made it my mission to try to learn everything I could about women's hormonal health and.
00:03:30.086 --> 00:03:49.847
One of the things that led to MixHers is that as I was working with women, time and time again, I'd have these women come and sit down and talk with me and share with me some of the symptoms that they were experiencing, maybe once a month when it was their time at the period, but like all month long, they're having these crazy symptoms that were associated with hormone imbalance.
00:03:50.257 --> 00:03:51.676
And a lot of these symptoms were.
00:03:51.831 --> 00:03:53.481
extremely debilitating.
00:03:53.491 --> 00:04:01.222
And so of course they were going to their trusted, you know, position and, you know, trying to seek answers and help and support.
00:04:01.581 --> 00:04:05.521
and oftentimes, you know, they were frustrated because they felt dismissed.
00:04:05.532 --> 00:04:09.852
They felt like they were being told that this is just what it means to be a woman.
00:04:09.891 --> 00:04:29.961
You know, these are symptoms that just come with the stage of life and this, the, Options that they were given as solutions were things that were more of like band aid approaches, like birth control pills, and even as extreme as like hysterectomies and, you know, taking organs out of the body, to try to get the, the symptoms to quiet down.
00:04:29.961 --> 00:04:31.281
And I am all about that.
00:04:31.291 --> 00:04:33.411
Like, I do agree that we need to help.
00:04:33.516 --> 00:04:34.776
calm symptoms down.
00:04:34.797 --> 00:04:40.357
But my background in my training is, taking a root cause approach when it comes to disease.
00:04:40.396 --> 00:04:43.836
And I do that through nutrition and lifestyle.
00:04:44.226 --> 00:04:50.646
and so when I, you know, when somebody is presenting their symptoms to me, I just keep asking questions and I try to find.
00:04:50.891 --> 00:04:55.391
Where, where is it that the body is trying to scream from?
00:04:55.391 --> 00:04:59.351
Like, cause symptoms are just simply our body's way of trying to communicate with us.
00:04:59.732 --> 00:05:06.422
And, and once our, once we listen and we address what our body's trying to tell us, then those symptoms will disappear.
00:05:06.422 --> 00:05:12.882
And so a lot of times these, these solutions in air quotes that they were being offered, were things that.
00:05:13.382 --> 00:05:21.271
Weren't addressing the root cause and then we're also causing long term health consequences and other uncomfortable side effects.
00:05:21.291 --> 00:05:28.812
And so, so yeah, so I, I know that the number one root cause of hormone imbalance symptoms is nutrient deficiency.
00:05:29.172 --> 00:05:36.101
the others, the other root causes that are right there close by it are chronic stress as well as poor detoxification, in the body.
00:05:36.112 --> 00:05:38.461
And so I knew that in order to.
00:05:39.351 --> 00:05:44.422
To take care of the body in the way that it needed to, we needed to address those three main root causes.
00:05:44.432 --> 00:05:57.401
And so, I created a, a product that's known as her time now, but it uses, all natural ingredients like roots and herbs and things like that, that, contain the nutrients that we are often missing in a healthy diet.
00:05:57.451 --> 00:06:03.771
Even if we're eating just the most perfect diet, it's really hard for us to get all of the nutrients that we need.
00:06:03.822 --> 00:06:06.322
And so this particular product.
00:06:06.471 --> 00:06:11.591
does provide those key nutrients that are known to nourish our endocrine system, our hormone system.
00:06:11.961 --> 00:06:15.161
And, and with that, then a lot of the symptoms like.
00:06:15.531 --> 00:06:23.192
PMS or bloating or, you know, stubborn weight that won't budge or moodiness.
00:06:23.192 --> 00:06:26.971
I mean, the list is endless truly when it comes to hormone imbalance.
00:06:26.971 --> 00:06:30.982
There's over a hundred symptoms that are associated with just PMS alone.
00:06:31.002 --> 00:06:45.447
And so, so yeah, so we, we went about, creating this, Supplement and I'm helping to just give women at the tool, in their hands to be able to take care of their health and be able to feel like their very best selves every single day, no matter what day of the month.
00:06:45.447 --> 00:06:45.826
It is
00:06:47.526 --> 00:06:48.156
I love that.
00:06:48.166 --> 00:07:13.307
It's so exciting to just really address the root cause and, and just so frustrating because we know that our medical doctors, as good as they are at acute care, which I'm always like, I, I love the medical system, like they're doing, they're doing great, but they just, Don't actually have the training or the knowledge about nutrition and even exercise and the way to apply those as medicine, because that's not their job.
00:07:13.307 --> 00:07:18.346
And I'm like, I can't be mad about that, that they only had, you know, three hours of instruction on nutrition.
00:07:18.646 --> 00:07:19.336
Like, that's okay.
00:07:19.336 --> 00:07:20.237
That's not their job.
00:07:20.297 --> 00:07:22.127
That's why we have people like you.
00:07:22.336 --> 00:07:22.877
That's why we have.
00:07:23.576 --> 00:07:33.416
Holistic nutritionist that can help us look at these root causes that have training on this kind of nutrition and these kinds of imbalances that we have.
00:07:33.836 --> 00:07:36.826
So I'm always like, don't get mad at the doctors.
00:07:36.937 --> 00:07:37.387
It's not their job.
00:07:38.687 --> 00:07:40.047
no, we're not about that.
00:07:40.057 --> 00:07:41.487
Is there part of the team?
00:07:41.747 --> 00:07:49.846
They're part of the team, you know, and when I started in private practice, I know there were a lot of physicians who were a little intimidated by the things that I was teaching people.
00:07:50.146 --> 00:07:50.487
And.
00:07:50.757 --> 00:07:54.836
I help, I love to help, the people that I work with become their own best health advocates.
00:07:55.107 --> 00:07:58.586
So I would prepare them with the right questions to ask their doctors and things like that.
00:07:58.877 --> 00:08:01.966
not to dismiss what the doctors are telling them whatsoever.
00:08:02.276 --> 00:08:07.987
Eventually, as you know, time went on, I worked very closely with doctors and I love that there are so many.
00:08:07.987 --> 00:08:15.057
So many incredible doctors out there who are understanding the power of food and movement as medicine.
00:08:15.086 --> 00:08:25.877
And, and so they, they, they admit that they don't have that kind of training when they go to medical school, unless they're in some type of functional medicine, you know, field, but they, they don't have that.
00:08:25.877 --> 00:08:32.636
And so, and they don't have a lot of time to tell somebody, you know, this is what they have to do as the followup.
00:08:32.636 --> 00:08:33.356
So, you know, a lot of.
00:08:33.422 --> 00:08:37.451
them will tell their patients, this is what you are dealing with.
00:08:37.471 --> 00:08:40.072
And then they would send them to me and say, okay.
00:08:40.072 --> 00:08:42.831
And then I would tell the patient, now, this is what we do.
00:08:42.871 --> 00:08:45.451
This is what we need to start adding into your diet.
00:08:45.461 --> 00:08:51.471
These are some of the things we need to start adding into your lifestyle, to help support your overall health and healing.
00:08:52.172 --> 00:08:53.782
Yeah, good.
00:08:53.792 --> 00:08:58.522
Well, let's talk a little bit about weight loss specifically.
00:08:58.532 --> 00:09:01.532
We definitely, your background in hormones.
00:09:01.532 --> 00:09:07.961
I mean, I actually first wanted you to come on to talk about menopause and perimenopause, but now you have a new product out.
00:09:07.961 --> 00:09:14.392
So we might have to have you back for that, or maybe we'll touch on it a little bit when we're getting into some of this weight loss stuff.
00:09:14.601 --> 00:09:18.851
But, your new product is focused on weight loss.
00:09:19.302 --> 00:09:35.221
How does that, Kind of go with some of your other products as well as, you know, just the general like Root cause health just tell us a little bit about that and what it does different than some of your other because okay What i'm getting at here.
00:09:35.412 --> 00:09:37.121
Sorry Move back up.
00:09:37.731 --> 00:09:50.522
I feel like a lot of the hormone kind of balancing Things that we do with some of the other products and the other lifestyle and nutrition management that we're doing to balance our hormones You Can affect our weight.
00:09:50.841 --> 00:09:56.961
So how is this new metabolic balance product different than some of your hormone balancing products?
00:09:57.596 --> 00:09:58.017
Right.
00:09:58.017 --> 00:10:16.376
Well, it's all connected, first of all, and I hope we talk about perimenopause and menopause because I feel like these are stages of life for women specifically, where maybe they do start, if they haven't had any weight issues in their path, this is when all of a sudden they, they need to, they start feeling the need to, look for a little extra support.
00:10:16.378 --> 00:10:22.158
and so, but let me talk about metabolic balance and then we can kind of go into like how it's a little different than some of our other products.
00:10:22.548 --> 00:10:22.837
are.
00:10:23.163 --> 00:10:28.783
All of our products, MixHers is designed to be, hormone friendly supplements that you sip.
00:10:29.133 --> 00:10:29.472
Okay.
00:10:29.472 --> 00:10:35.322
Meaning that every product that we have in our line is formulated to support our hormone health.
00:10:35.342 --> 00:10:50.692
It only uses the ingredients that are considered hormone friendly because there are a lot of supplements out there that they have the right nutrients, but the source of those nutrients aren't always something our body recognizes that a lot of synthetic nutrients are added into supplements.
00:10:50.748 --> 00:11:02.418
And so on the, on the nutrition label, they look like they're fantastic, but the body doesn't recognize and it can sometimes taking those supplements can actually create hormonal havoc.
00:11:02.717 --> 00:11:05.057
So that's something that sets us a little bit apart, too.
00:11:05.067 --> 00:11:08.447
The other thing is, is that our supplements are in a drink form.
00:11:08.687 --> 00:11:11.758
There are powders that you mix into your water or any kind of liquid form.
00:11:11.857 --> 00:11:13.048
And what this does is.
00:11:13.222 --> 00:11:17.052
It allows those nutrients to enter your body, at a much higher rate.
00:11:17.052 --> 00:11:19.143
So it's higher, there's higher absorbency.
00:11:19.153 --> 00:11:31.753
So, for instance, to compare to other supplements, when our supplements are in a pill or a capsule form, your body's only, absorbing around 30 percent of the nutrients that are found in that capsule or pill.
00:11:32.043 --> 00:11:39.582
And when it's in a liquid form, your body's able to, depending on your gut health and so on, but around 90 to 95 percent of the nutrients you absorb.
00:11:39.582 --> 00:11:43.192
And so it makes these supplements much more effective.
00:11:43.472 --> 00:11:51.253
So now with that being said, when I've worked with clients, for many, many years, it's all, it's all connected.
00:11:51.253 --> 00:12:00.692
So if they are going through perimenopause, for instance, and all of a sudden they notice that their metabolism has changed, We have to address the metabolic health as well.
00:12:00.702 --> 00:12:07.923
I mean, everything is connected to the hormones, hormones control, whether our metabolism is going to be functioning optimally or not as well.
00:12:07.923 --> 00:12:14.023
And so I've worked with so many people that have, they know all of the right things that they should be doing.
00:12:14.033 --> 00:12:15.732
They know the foods that are healthy.
00:12:16.003 --> 00:12:19.552
They know that they should be, you know, trying to get 10, 000 steps every single day.
00:12:19.552 --> 00:12:34.643
They know that, especially as they go into perimenopause and menopause, that it's to their benefit to be getting in more protein, to try to maintain that precious muscle, which muscle is, you know, it is our metabolism, truly like the more muscle we have, the better and healthier.
00:12:35.067 --> 00:12:35.687
Oh my gosh.
00:12:35.697 --> 00:12:37.038
So much protein lately.
00:12:37.327 --> 00:12:39.788
My clients are like, could we talk about something else?
00:12:40.082 --> 00:12:40.523
Yeah.
00:12:40.842 --> 00:12:49.283
Well, I'm going to, I'm going to join you then on that because it is something that is key and you know, it's, it's even more important as we start to age.
00:12:49.633 --> 00:13:03.722
And so we know all of the right things is what I'm trying to say, but why don't we always follow through with all of the healthy choices, you know, that we need to make, and it's because, I mean, to be real, we have the best intentions, but.
00:13:04.182 --> 00:13:04.972
We're stressed.
00:13:05.572 --> 00:13:06.383
We're tired.
00:13:06.873 --> 00:13:10.253
We, we're have a lot of emotional things that are going on.
00:13:10.253 --> 00:13:12.273
And so a lot of times we eat our emotions.
00:13:12.273 --> 00:13:22.852
I like to say, you know, we, there's just a lot of things that keep us from filling that motivation to actually make the right food choices and to move our body the appropriate amount.
00:13:23.253 --> 00:13:27.503
And so what metabolic balance does is it helps to support.
00:13:27.518 --> 00:13:29.857
The body's natural metabolic pathways.
00:13:30.177 --> 00:13:36.677
our bodies produce, you know, natural versions of a lot of the popular, weight loss drugs that are out there right now.
00:13:37.018 --> 00:13:39.077
and I don't think a lot of people realize that.
00:13:39.378 --> 00:13:44.677
And, and so I love to teach people, how do we tap in and work with your body, right?
00:13:44.687 --> 00:13:51.268
Rather than having to use, and I'm not against, by the way, I have to preface that I'm not against these weight loss drugs.
00:13:51.298 --> 00:13:53.327
I just want people to be educated.
00:13:53.337 --> 00:14:01.628
I want them to understand exactly what it is doing in their body, what the possible side effects could be, and also just learn that, guess what?
00:14:01.768 --> 00:14:06.498
Like I said before, our bodies produce natural versions of these types of medicines anyway.
00:14:06.518 --> 00:14:11.727
So if we can tap into that, we're going to have better long term health results, for that.
00:14:11.727 --> 00:14:27.467
And so, yeah, that's what metabolic balance does is I like to call it drinkable willpower because it helps to, yeah, it helps to give your body and your brain that, support that is needed in order to recognize when your body is full.
00:14:28.173 --> 00:14:35.342
And to feel like you are a little more sensitive to your leptin, which is your hunger hormone, which tells us that we are satiated.
00:14:35.653 --> 00:14:41.472
it also balances our blood sugar and it helps us to be able to maintain muscle mass better.
00:14:41.533 --> 00:14:48.043
And so that when, if we are choosing to eat a little less that we, will be less likely to muscle waste.
00:14:48.052 --> 00:14:49.852
So that's something just incredible.
00:14:49.852 --> 00:14:51.043
And, and this all.
00:14:51.307 --> 00:14:55.398
You know, happens just naturally with, natural metabolic pathways in our body.
00:14:55.697 --> 00:14:58.097
I know a lot of people have heard of GLP one, right?
00:14:58.128 --> 00:15:04.087
That's what a lot of like some a glutide and some a glutide, like, medications that are out there, like Ozempic and what Govi.
00:15:04.087 --> 00:15:08.648
And I mean, there's a whole list of them now, but that's what they're, that's what they're doing is they're overriding the same thing.
00:15:08.648 --> 00:15:21.067
system and they're, they're putting GLP one into the system, which then does all the things that I just mentioned, makes it so we're a little more insulin sensitive, our blood sugar stabilize, you know, and it helps us to feel full faster and for longer.
00:15:21.307 --> 00:15:30.258
And so what it's basically doing is it's causing us to have less of an appetite and, you know, it is true that when we eat less than our bodies will, Lose weight.
00:15:30.288 --> 00:15:35.067
But most of the time when we're eating less, our bodies are sensing that there's some type of threat.
00:15:35.597 --> 00:15:39.957
And so we're losing weight, but we're not necessarily losing fat.
00:15:40.408 --> 00:15:46.687
So I just wanted to, I wanted to provide an option for people that taps into their bodies natural.
00:15:46.788 --> 00:15:53.618
Processes that isn't going to cause them in the long run to have a weaker metabolism.
00:15:53.677 --> 00:15:55.918
You know, I wanted to support long term health.
00:15:55.937 --> 00:16:09.067
I want us to go into our 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, strong, healthy and vibrant and filling our best and not having to, to deal with a lot of the unfortunate side effects that are coming from a lot of these prescription drugs.
00:16:10.363 --> 00:16:11.143
Yeah, definitely.
00:16:11.143 --> 00:16:14.212
We want to be preserving muscle mass during our weight loss phase.
00:16:14.503 --> 00:16:18.873
I've noticed a lot of people shifting from the term weight loss to fat loss.
00:16:19.283 --> 00:16:24.952
Because I used to tell my clients like, well, we can make you lose weight on the scale by cutting off your arm, but nobody wants to do that.
00:16:25.283 --> 00:16:26.842
We really want to target the fat.
00:16:27.273 --> 00:16:35.062
And so there's a couple of ways that I generally advise to do that is to number one, it's that old protein thing.
00:16:35.123 --> 00:16:41.572
Make sure you're getting enough protein during your fat loss phase so that your body is like, Oh, we have enough protein.
00:16:41.572 --> 00:16:43.592
Let's metabolize the fat instead.
00:16:43.613 --> 00:16:45.212
And then strength training.
00:16:45.432 --> 00:16:47.143
Also to build muscles.
00:16:47.153 --> 00:16:53.043
So, with those two things in mind, adding in the metabolic balance, how does it support fat loss over muscle?
00:16:54.337 --> 00:16:54.817
right.
00:16:54.827 --> 00:17:02.857
So basically what it's doing is it's not overriding the appetite to the point where a lot of these, these other prescription drugs are doing.
00:17:02.898 --> 00:17:09.538
So I am also like big about educating people on how to use metabolic balance as a tool.
00:17:09.867 --> 00:17:11.107
It's not a magic bullet.
00:17:11.107 --> 00:17:14.837
It's not going to go in there and like do everything for you instead.
00:17:14.837 --> 00:17:21.208
It's going to make it so that it helps you to, to kind of quiet down the food noise that often is happening in our head so that you're.
00:17:21.222 --> 00:17:25.232
Better able and actually wanting to make better food choices.
00:17:25.232 --> 00:17:34.042
And like you just mentioned, when we know, you know, like we're not feeling nauseous and, you know, feeling like we are needing to throw up or have diarrhea and constipation all the time.
00:17:34.042 --> 00:17:36.772
Like we would, if we were on some of these prescription
00:17:37.167 --> 00:17:43.607
let me just interrupt and say, I'm not sure people realize that that's what we're talking about when we're talking about side effects.
00:17:43.617 --> 00:17:49.627
I have had clients on these drugs and I had one in particular that's like, I just can't handle the nausea anymore.
00:17:49.657 --> 00:17:50.968
Like I throw up twice a week.
00:17:50.978 --> 00:17:52.928
I just can't, I just don't want to do that.
00:17:52.958 --> 00:18:02.008
And so they cut back on the dosage, which helped a little bit, but then definitely like there was a weight loss stall there compared to, you know, the higher dose.
00:18:02.008 --> 00:18:04.057
So That's not the cause of weight loss.
00:18:04.067 --> 00:18:07.627
Like the nausea isn't the cause of the weight loss, but it's coming along with it.
00:18:07.627 --> 00:18:17.958
And I, I mean, I do have other friends that have managed to bypass those, so it's not like a guarantee that you're going to like throw up several times a week if you're on these, but they are very real side effects.
00:18:17.958 --> 00:18:21.167
So that's not just like offhand, like, Oh, this might happen.
00:18:21.167 --> 00:18:23.077
Like this is what's on the box.
00:18:24.038 --> 00:18:27.127
yeah, this is what's on the box and it is very common.
00:18:27.127 --> 00:18:30.117
I've worked with a lot of people that are on these medications as well.
00:18:30.528 --> 00:18:40.167
And what they tell me, and just to maybe make my point in a different way, is what they often tell me is that they feel so nauseous all the time that the last thing that they want to eat is protein.
00:18:40.327 --> 00:18:42.238
Like that just sounds disgusting to them.
00:18:42.488 --> 00:18:43.738
So they don't want to do that.
00:18:43.788 --> 00:18:46.143
And it's really like anything that has fat in it.
00:18:46.212 --> 00:18:54.853
fiber, anything that has all those polyphenols that are so supportive of our natural glp1 production their bodies don't crave it.
00:18:55.022 --> 00:18:55.903
They don't crave it.
00:18:55.903 --> 00:19:05.363
And so that is where we start to muscle waste because you don't have, you're not taking in the, the needed, like building blocks of muscle.
00:19:05.722 --> 00:19:20.718
And, and so that's what I'm trying to say is that what you're getting is you're getting a little bit of control when it comes to how the brain is, you know, controlling your appetite, but it's not to the point where Eating healthy food sounds like the last thing you wanted to.
00:19:20.968 --> 00:19:29.258
Instead, you have that little willpower, like I was saying, that is helping you to be able to, to get those nutrients into your body and have it taste really good.
00:19:29.258 --> 00:19:49.738
But you'll, what we've found in studies that we've done with people that have the The participants that were using metabolic balance for an eight week study is that, that they were actually craving like the healthier foods and that they were feeling more motivated, at the end of the study than they did even at the beginning, to move their body a little bit more and to exercise more.
00:19:49.738 --> 00:19:54.657
So it was, there's a lot of things that come with GLP one, which is what.
00:19:55.323 --> 00:20:01.613
Semiglutide is, but like I said, with metabolic balance, it helps our body to produce its own GLP 1.
00:20:01.883 --> 00:20:08.462
So it's actually just supporting the body in its own natural function, and it just makes it so that we're a little bit better at it.
00:20:08.472 --> 00:20:20.883
The reason we don't produce enough GLP 1 on our own is because, GLP 1 happens when you, like, it gets produced when you are eating enough fiber and enough polyphenols, and it actually happens in the gut.
00:20:21.327 --> 00:20:29.917
But if you think about a lot of the like standard American diet, it's mostly processed food and what gets removed from processed food, it's the fiber and the polyphenols.
00:20:29.917 --> 00:20:35.998
And so, of course, that's going to be not supporting the gut in its natural function of creating its own GLP 1.
00:20:35.998 --> 00:20:37.627
So that's what metabolic balance does.
00:20:37.637 --> 00:20:43.192
It has ingredients in there that help to support your body's natural, production of GLP 1.
00:20:44.367 --> 00:20:52.087
And does that, does that natural production of GLP 1 then increase the, the fat loss?
00:20:52.087 --> 00:20:53.607
Or like, what does that actually do?
00:20:53.617 --> 00:20:55.488
Like, then what, basically?
00:20:55.932 --> 00:20:56.353
Yeah.
00:20:56.393 --> 00:21:05.413
Well, what I was telling you is that in order for us to maintain, the muscle that is so precious, you need to make sure you're getting in enough protein.
00:21:05.413 --> 00:21:09.343
So that comes from the choices that you're making with your diet and your lifestyle.
00:21:09.732 --> 00:21:21.242
So yes, we already know that we need to move more and eat less and we need to strength train and we need to do, you know, eat enough protein and all of that in order to maintain, let me tell you this, So when we have this eight weeks.
00:21:21.623 --> 00:21:21.932
study.
00:21:22.313 --> 00:21:25.232
We actually divided the groups into two groups.
00:21:25.542 --> 00:21:31.002
And one of the groups, I, encouraged them to just only use metabolic balance.
00:21:31.022 --> 00:21:34.843
Don't change anything about their lifestyle whatsoever.
00:21:35.083 --> 00:21:42.373
So if they were somebody that exercise great, but I just didn't want them to add anything or do anything different than they already were nothing to their diet or anything like that as well.
00:21:42.762 --> 00:21:46.222
And then we would do a questionnaire that would go out every single week.
00:21:46.232 --> 00:21:47.563
And then at the beginning.
