Well, yeah, maybe I can change your mind about that because that's really how nature designed things to be.
There's a 24-hour period in the seven-day program that you don't eat. You only drink tea. And it's from lunch, you finish lunch one day, and to lunch the next day, you don't have any dinner, you don't have any breakfast.
For people that work out like you, I tell them not to work out.
Well, and this is the problem. This is the problem with, you know, you want to be the best mother and the best wife and you want to be in the best shape. But if you want to fix your gut, you're going to have to make some changes. You know, if you break a bone, you're going to have to have a cast for some time until it... It gets better. Until it solds back together, right?
And then you take the cast. So the clean program is like a cast for the gut. Yeah. And then you also have to understand that there is a whole energy distribution system, let's call it that way. There's the energy that we all know about and everybody's talking about, which is the energy that mitochondria produce, where the ATP is the result of the burning through the Krebs cycle of sugar, right?
Yeah. But there's another type of energy that we don't really understand in the Western world. That is the one that comes into your body when you sleep. Why can you be exhausted one day? You go and you have a good night's sleep and you wake up and you're full of energy. Is that why the mitochondria were not working when you were exhausted? Now they're working?
It has nothing to do with mitochondria. It's a different type of energy. This is the energy that Chinese medicine understands way, way more, right? So these energies... the ATP that's produced by mitochondria and this other energy that we don't understand very well, right? This energy is used for all your functions during the day, right?
And repair and defense, and it takes a lot of energy to use that. If you're going to spend that energy exercising and working out, It's the repairing... I understand. So you're diverting your cash flow into other things that are not what needs to be done.
I sent you one.
I'll send you another one.
I can send you three if you want. Three, okay. You can do it with friends.
There's a lot of things that are not good when the gut is broken that are completely fine when the gut is repaired.
You can then reintroduce certain things. You cannot go just back to what you were doing before, but you can reintroduce certain things.
So what's the problem with coffee? There's many problems with coffee. Okay, tell me.
Okay, so that's the first problem, that it's not organic. Most coffee is totally polluted and full of chemicals, right? So that's one problem. And so that's one of the reasons I tell people, but even if it's organic and really good coffee, Coffee is an exciting, it's a stimulant. A stimulant, yeah.
So it depletes, eventually depletes you of energy and then you become dependent on the stimulant effect. Some people can't function if they don't drink coffee in the morning. Or cannot go to the bathroom.
Yeah. Yeah, why? Now let's go back to the gut. So imagine there's a little nerve inside every microvilla. There's trillions, I mean, I don't know how many, but billions probably of microvilla in the one or two tennis court surface, right? And imagine this with a little nerve in a tennis court. One nerve next to the other next to the other. It's a huge nervous system.
There's more nerve cells and neurons and dendrites and synapses in and around your gut than inside your brain.
Well, second in the chronology of how we've been talking about it. But in terms of importance for your life, I don't know if it's the second. They're all important, right? Because this one has to do with... with mentation, ideation, you know, speech, vision, right? But this one has to do with the intuition and other functions that are really important, right?
Other ones like... temperature regulation, mobility of the gut, you know, so it ends up being, because these muscles contract and they are the ones that, and these are muscles too, they are the ones that cause the peristaltic movement. So the food is pushed From one end to the other. So you need that in order to make good poops. Right.
