0:44
annuity agent licensed in all 50 states

0:46
i am so glad you're here welcome to all

0:48
the people on the major podcast

0:49
platforms that are listening to us and

0:51
also the fun with annuities youtube

0:53
channel one of us on this program is

0:55
attractive the other one's not i'll give

0:57
you a guess who's not that would be me

0:59
um

1:00
but i'm really happy to have my guest on

1:02
today because it's kind of outside the

1:04
realm of

1:05
finances and and what i typically talk

1:08
about retirement but it's important it's

1:09
a cog in the wheel that you need to be

1:11
aware of

1:12
and um i'm so happy she's here her name

1:15
is amanda jo wilt wlt

1:19
and she has a website called the

1:22
boomer nutritionist all one word the

1:25
boomer nutritionist dot-com

1:28
and yes baby boomers out there you need

1:31
to you need to focus on nutrition before

1:33
i introduce her officially let me

1:36
um let me explain a couple of things

1:38
about why we're doing this um

1:41
i want everyone on my podcast platforms

1:44
to be educated and to think a little bit

1:46
outside the box you know we're always

1:48
talking about numbers i have retirement

1:49
planning specialists on but when i you

1:52
know i had my team try to find the top

1:54
one of the top nutritionists and i

1:56
talked to her and i just thought she

1:58
would be a great resource for everybody

2:00
but i'll i'll tell one quick story

2:03
um i have people all the time and you

2:05
know probably once every quarter i'll

2:07
have a person that says to me

2:10
you know what stan if i could give a

2:11
million dollars or five million dollars

2:12
just to feel good for a week i'd do that

2:14
you know i just don't feel good my

2:16
health isn't there

2:17
and that stuck with me and it's the

2:19
reason that amanda joe is on this

2:20
program because

2:22
as a baby boomer as you go into chapter

2:25
two of your life it's not just about

2:26
money and it's not just about

2:29
you know what you're gonna do and

2:30
whatever side hustle you're gonna do and

2:32
if you're playing pickleball or golf or

2:33
whatever

2:35
it's about feeling good and that's why

2:37
she's here so welcome to fun with

2:39
annuities amanda joe wilt welcome

2:42
hi thank you for having me uh

2:45
you you know you're really hitting all

2:47
the notes i'm not an investment person

2:50
when you think about finances and and

2:52
all of that

2:54
but there is a we need to be investing

2:56
in our health and

2:58
one of the things you know i've learned

3:00
about annuities is you know like

3:03
lifetime income right in my opinion now

3:06
i love annuities we want lifetime income

3:08
there's no better lifetime income than

3:11
your health

3:12
because if that runs out before your

3:15
lifespan runs out you know we have this

3:18
thought of health span versus lifespan

3:21
if your health fan runs out before your

3:24
lifespan runs out

3:26
all of that saving you all that work

3:28
you've put in for retirement

3:30
is now vulnerable because instead of

3:32
enjoying that it's all going towards

3:34
medical costs now yes we need to prepare

3:37
for

3:38
ill poor health as we age

3:40
but

3:41
what a great thing it would be if that

3:44
money could be redirected to more golf

3:46
trips rather than hospital bills

3:49
no doubt about it and and her site is

3:51
really a fun site i mean she she

3:53
actually has a um

3:55
obviously go there

3:56
the thtboomernutritionist.com

4:00
she she even does meal planning if you

4:01
wanted to do meal planning she can do

4:03
that for you she can help you along the

4:05
way you know you have a new annuity

4:06
consultants and you have

4:09
you know have general practitioners

4:11
i think as part of the team a

4:13
nutritionist isn't a bad thought because

4:16
you know coming out of covid amanda joe

4:19
i will tell you that

4:21
we all kind of went through this funk

4:23
where we said hey screw it i'm gonna eat

4:25
the i'm gonna eat the cheetos and i'm

4:27
gonna eat the cookies

4:28
and i think

4:30
as a whole the country gained weight

4:32
but we're coming out of that and i know

4:34
for myself i'm starting to get it back

4:36
together eat better exercise more

4:40
from a nutritionist standpoint

4:44
tell us about the hurdles that you see

4:46
people have not only just implementing

4:48
but maybe psychological to get over the

4:50
hump to even start

4:54
most people it comes down to

4:57
accessibility how accessible is

4:59
something to you right so if we want to

5:01
create new habits you need something in

5:03
your hands right so everyone consuming

5:07
your

5:08
podcast your videos they're typically

5:11
using their cell phone

5:12
maybe they're sitting behind a desktop

5:14
but it's right there they have the

5:16
resources right there and so that's

5:19
where our meal planning is different

5:22
we make it accessible to everyone so not

5:24
only price because

5:26
boomers are my target right my parents

5:28
are boomers and

5:30
my parents are still here my husband's

5:33
parents also boomers same age as my

5:35
parents they're both gone uh and they've

5:38
been gone now for a really long time and

5:41
i don't want

5:43
young

5:44
people like me and you know even older

5:47
people to have to sit and have these

5:49
conversations and explain to their kids

5:51
why aren't why aren't dad's grandma and

5:53
grandpa around you know and if we can

5:56
get meal planning into the hands

5:58
of

6:00
everyone

6:01
then

6:02
really that's the foundation of health

6:05
nutrition and so

6:07
with our meal planning you have an app

6:08
on your phone you can log all your meals

6:11
it prompts you what um recipes you need

6:14
to cook for that day what prep work you

6:16
maybe need to do the day before to keep

6:18
you on track you can log

6:20
your water intake all kinds of things

6:23
but not every boomer

6:25
wants to use an app on their phone

6:28
maybe they have

6:29
access to a computer a desktop and they

6:31
feel comfortable there

6:33
great we can send your meal plan there

6:34
you can use the um the program from your

6:37
desktop but then we go a step further

6:40
and to completely remove

6:42
all barriers we will send you

6:46
every week a seven day meal plan that

6:49
you can simply as long as you can access

6:51
email

6:52
open an attachment and click print

6:54
you're gonna have your seven day meal

6:56
plan it has your grocery list it has the

6:59
recipes and how to prepare them and it

7:01
tells you how much to eat and so really

7:05
it's

7:06
the best way to get people on track with

7:08
nutrition is to simply remove the

7:10
barriers

7:11
and what does that service cost so i'm

7:13
going to your site i see um i scroll

7:16
down it says explore our meal planning

7:19
and learn more how much does that

7:20
service cost

7:22
so most people in my industry kind of

7:24
can't believe that what we do

7:26
but it's 35

7:28
a month

7:29
and i don't know if anyone's gotten gas

7:31
recently but i'm pretty sure that's less

7:33
than a tank of gas

7:35
per month

7:36
and

7:38
it makes it a no-brainer it makes it

7:40
where

7:41
boomers who

7:43
maybe weren't able to plan as much as

7:46
they wanted for retirement can still

7:49
plug in the health equation because

7:51
maybe the the less finances that you'll

7:54
have available

7:56
as you're moving into that second stage

7:57
of life

7:58
your health is going to become all that

8:00
much more important so that the finances

8:02
you do have coming in aren't strained

8:05
and having to go towards medical bills

8:07
it'd be much more enjoyable for them to

8:09
be going towards

8:10
you know a good meal that you can enjoy

8:12
with your family and also

8:15
help teach the next generation

8:17
how to eat properly and how to plan for

8:20
longevity

8:22
now a lot of us baby boomers and i'm one

8:24
of them and we're on a lot of

8:26
prescription medications

8:28
out there um one of the things on your

8:30
site that popped at me was that

8:33
the the question could your

8:34
prescriptions be causing vitamin

8:37
deficiencies

8:38
can you go into that because that popped

8:41
out at me because you know i'm on blood

8:42
pressure and all this stuff you know i'm

8:44
one of those people

8:46
um

8:47
how does that how does that work and how

8:50
how can we solve those deficiencies or

8:52
at least know about them

8:55
so

8:57
not all doctors will inform you some

8:59
will

9:00
but there are known deficiencies that

9:03
occur because of different prescription

9:05
medications

9:06
um you know when we're ingesting

9:08
something

9:10
other chemicals in our body can get used

9:12
up at say a quicker rate uh to make

9:15
certain reactions happen uh that allow

9:17
those prescriptions to do the thing that

9:19
they need to do

9:20
um and so

9:22
really downloading that sheet it's

9:25
something i want everyone to print and

9:27
put on their fridge especially if they

9:28
take prescriptions so that they have a

9:30
reminder of hey maybe i should talk to

9:33
my doctor about taking this supplement

9:36
and what it comes down to is that

9:39
to make sure you have that solid bedrock

9:42
it's all in nutrition

9:44
if you're eating

9:45
a meal plan that is created specifically

9:47
for you because that's the other thing

9:49
we aren't taking a generic meal plan i'm

9:51
not

9:52
taking say hey here's 2 000 calories

9:55
we're going to send everybody the same

9:56
meal plan these are individualized to

9:59
you and your lifestyle you pick what

10:02
foods you enjoy maybe you only have a

10:04
microwave well put that you only have a

10:06
microwave you'll get recipes from

10:08
microwaves

10:09
and

10:11
this is going to help you

10:13
build that nutritional foundation so

10:15
that all of those hits you're taking

10:16
from your prescription medications are

10:18
mitigated a little bit

10:20
and then through one-on-one consulting

10:22
we can kind of dig a little bit deeper

10:24
and

10:25
see what

10:26
you know deficiencies you might have and

10:28
then help you find things to discuss

10:30
with your practitioner so you will do

10:32
one-on-one consulting if someone wants

10:34
to hire you for that as well correct

10:36
correct correct if they have um a meal

10:39
plan because

10:41
to be honest

10:42
if someone is not willing to invest 35

10:46
a month into ensuring that they have

10:48
access to a really good meal plan they

10:50
probably will not value my time

10:53
or the recommendations that i have for

10:55
them that might cost more

10:57
than five dollars so

10:58
we were talking with amanda jo wilt of

11:01
the boomer nutritionist.com superstar in

11:04
this field

11:05
she's her practice is growing i think

11:07
we're catching her early

11:09
as uh as she is being found out by

11:11
everybody and i want to promote it

11:12
because i you know i want my clients to

11:14
live forever um

11:16
how did you arrive here no one wakes up

11:19
in the morning and says i want to be a

11:20
nutritionist

11:21
how does how what tell us a little bit

11:23
about your journey and your path to this

11:26
obviously it's a passion for you

11:28
how did you get here

11:30
well

11:31
any time we get to a place not always

11:33
comfortable uh

11:35
uh growing up i was the kid ridden with

11:38
allergies and

11:40
migraines you know intestinal digestive

11:44
issues

11:45
acne you name it i had issues and i

11:48
thought wow this is life

11:50
like i'm young and and this is how i

11:52
feel all the time this isn't really fun

11:55
and

11:56
as i got older i started to realize hey

11:59
no this isn't normal

12:00
right so there has to be an answer my

12:02
body was created to heal let's heal this

12:04
thing so

12:06
i started learning about nutrition

12:08
and then things really took a turn of

12:12
acceleration whenever my husband and i

12:15
six months into our marriage found out

12:17
his father had stage four brain and lung

12:19
cancer

12:20
and we saw

12:22
he had been given three months to live

12:24
from the diagnosis

12:25
and they said that was with treatment

12:28
like if you're lucky he'll make it three

12:29
months and

12:31
we said no we're gonna make some changes

12:33
and he lived another six months and

12:34
those were some of the best days that my

12:36
husband had with his dad just being

12:38
close and getting to spend that time but

12:40
just simple changes in his nutrition

12:42
doubled what they had estimated his

12:44
lifespan would be

12:46
and

12:47
so he passed a little bit after our one

12:49
year anniversary and we were like okay

12:52
life's getting back to normal you kind

12:53
of you get past the grief and start

12:56
working on things and

12:58
then his mother was also diagnosed with

13:00
stage four brain and lung cancer

13:02
and it it was just too much and so

13:07
i didn't ever want to have to face this

13:10
again and not have answers for the

13:12
people that i love

13:14
and i knew those answers were in

13:15
nutrition and it started this whole

13:18
journey so it wasn't necessarily a

13:20
pretty

13:20
um

13:22
situation getting us here but a lot of

13:23
testimonies are that way

13:26
no it really is and that's that's a

13:27
that's a a good and heartbreaking story

13:30
at the same time but but it does explain

13:33
your passion for it i just pulled up the

13:36
um the download for the do this

13:38
prescriptions you take deplete your

13:40
nutritional status and if you go to our

13:42
site again we'll have a page for

13:45
amanda joe on

13:47
the annuityman.com just like we do with

13:49
all celebrity guests

13:50
it's worth downloading this because you

13:52
can just look at

13:54
you know

13:55
what it'll it'll show the prescription

13:58
it'll show it's just it's it's really

14:00
the best download i've seen in a long

14:02
long time because

14:04
it's so detailed

14:06
and at a minimum and everyone out there

14:09
nod your head you're all taking

14:10
something most of you if you're not you

14:12
know virtual high five

14:14
um you should at least know if it's if

14:16
it's depleting the vitamins

14:19
let's talk about vitamins for a second

14:21
because i've gone through personally you

14:22
know the the stage where i was a college

14:24
athlete and i was taking as many

14:25
vitamins as i could swallow to now i'm

14:28
taking limited amount of items based

14:30
upon what my general practitioner is

14:32
telling me

14:33
and it's getting ready to be what you're

14:35
telling me

14:36
what it what is your opinion about

14:37
vitamins in general and then let's dig

14:40
in further from there

14:42
well i don't want to offend

14:44
but go ahead go ahead uh

14:46
a lot of vitamins that you find say at

14:48
the grocery store junk overpriced junk

14:51
and i don't recommend them they are not

14:53
practitioner grade they are not

14:56
screened for toxins and

14:59
quality

15:01
they are

15:03
mass-produced bulk produced to

15:05
sell to the masses and they have vitamin

15:08
constituents in them that are not easily

15:11
and readily absorbed by your body

15:14
and so you're kind of just wasting your

15:16
money

15:17
and that's how i feel about most

15:19
supplements as far as the need to take

15:22
supplements

15:23
i do believe there is a need for that uh

15:26
and it's going to depend on each

15:28
individual because one person isn't on

15:30
the same prescriptions as another uh

15:33
there might be dietary restrictions for

15:35
one person that another doesn't have and

15:37
so they're prone to

15:39
um

15:40
certain deficiencies for example people

15:42
who choose to be

15:44
vegan they're missing out on a lot of

15:48
vitamin a that is animal based because

15:50
they are not consuming

15:53
eggs so they're not getting any of the

15:54
vitamin a from say an egg yolk well

15:57
they're at risk depending on different

15:59
genetic mutations they could or couldn't

16:01
have for vitamin a deficiency because

16:04
not everyone can convert

16:06
beta-carotene to the usable form of

16:09
vitamin a

16:10
and so it's just i i do i am a proponent

16:12
of supplements i have used them um on

16:15
myself i take them daily you know

16:17
different ones at different times

16:19
to accomplish the health goals that i

16:20
have and so i'm a big proponent as long

16:23
as they aren't a waste of money well and

16:25
that leads us to a portion of your site

16:28
i spent some time on today

16:30
and you you listed it listed as

16:32
practitioner grade supplements

16:35
can you can you dig in for for us and

16:37
give us a texas definition of that

16:40
you can't get it on the grocery store

16:42
shelf

16:43
that's the time

16:44
now where do you obviously you are

16:47
you can coordinate that and you have all

16:49
kinds of links etc but

16:51
give us the the background on and why

16:54
haven't

16:55
why isn't practitioner grade supplements

16:58
more of a of a phrase that we should we

17:00
know about i mean that's the first i've

17:02
ever read that and i've been ta i mean

17:04
i've put gnc in business for the for a

17:07
long long time and obviously taking

17:09
nonsense

17:10
but now you're saying practitioner grade

17:12
and that's what i want i mean in essence

17:14
you're saying hey go to the mayo go to

17:16
the mayo clinic go to the best get the

17:18
best

17:19
why is this the best

17:22
because they're

17:24
they're the high quality brands that you

17:26
cannot access as

17:29
just a regular person

17:31
you have to have someone

17:34
that is you know a nutritionist a

17:37
a doctor chiropractor someone that has

17:40
some type of credential to advise you in

17:43
getting these supplements

17:45
and there's a ton of brands now when you

17:48
go to the website if you want to access

17:50
the dispensary

17:52
of course everything went online now

17:54
right so we used to have an office and

17:55
we'd have you know this is my wall of

17:58
vitamins and this is what i'm

18:00
recommending to you today right no more

18:02
everything is online so even our vitamin

18:05
dispensaries are online

18:07
which allows access to

18:10
hundreds of brands

18:12
don't get me wrong there is a potential

18:14
that you will see a couple brands

18:16
in the dispensary that you can also find

18:18
at the grocery store

18:20
it doesn't mean i recommend those brands

18:22
uh so

18:24
it's

18:25
the whole practitioner grade thing

18:27
that's not great marketing

18:30
for

18:31
all of the other industries and

18:32
supplement makers who

18:34
just want

18:35
consumers and want everyone to have

18:37
access right so if they if they go and

18:40
they say no we only give our supplements

18:42
to practitioners or people who are in

18:45
the field of health and nutrition

18:47
they limit their sales and so it's kind

18:49
of more of a marketing thing i'll leave

18:51
that out who really needs it so

18:54
so if you're taking supplements you need

18:56
to be taking the right supplements that

18:57
seems common sense that

19:00
but for everyone out here including me

19:01
you're like okay where do i go

19:03
obviously we have a source now so you

19:05
know we go to your site we sign up that

19:07
i think you got to create account an

19:09
account for that

19:10
and then based upon the consultation

19:13
you'll say well you know you might want

19:15
to take this this this and this

19:17
um

19:19
is that how the process works

19:21
yes basically and so once someone has a

19:24
meal planning subscription

19:26
they

19:27
will have access when i send out the

19:30
links to book appointments so there's a

19:32
private calendar

19:33
for the discounted one-on-one

19:35
appointment got it we ask that that

19:37
calendar is not shared uh because

19:39
when they book an appointment

19:41
uh

19:42
the day of the appointment we check to

19:45
make sure that you do have an active

19:46
meal planning subscription and if you

19:48
don't your meal plan is

19:50
the the consultation is cancelled uh and

19:53
then from there

19:55
we'll review kind of your medical

19:57
history we'll talk about your goals

19:58
what's going on how the previous months

20:01
of your meal planning have been going do

20:04
you feel successful how do you need

20:05
support how are you feeling

20:08
do we need to make changes

20:10
then we will typically look at

20:12
you know you can potentially order some

20:14
blood work if we're wanting to really

20:16
drill down and see if there are certain

20:18
deficiencies going on

20:20
we can review all these and what i can

20:23
do is i can make a recommendation and i

20:25
can say hey you know evidence shows

20:28
this why don't you take this your

20:30
practitioner and discuss it with them

20:33
you can take this evidence to them say

20:35
hey i've been working with a

20:36
nutritionist

20:37
these are her thoughts what are yours um

20:40
and that way

20:42
everybody's involved in your care and

20:44
everyone kind of is on the same page and

20:46
so that's the process for that

20:49
i think it's interesting what you've

20:50
done which is

20:52
there's a level of foundation that a

20:54
person needs to show to you which is the

20:57
meal planning they have to say okay

20:59
i'm not going to skip to the front of

21:01
the line and just take the supplements

21:02
because you're like no no that's not how

21:04
it works

21:05
you have to get the meal planning then

21:06
we talk about the supplements then we

21:09
add but the meal planning is the

21:10
foundation

21:12
obviously that's the hardest thing to do

21:13
right but it's the foundation

21:16
to all of the other services that you

21:19
provide is that correct

21:21
that is correct and it's because we

21:23
don't want to

21:25
continue

21:27
with the kind of western medicine

21:31
this is my symptom just give me a

21:32
band-aid

21:34
because that's all we're doing and you

21:35
can do the exact same thing kind of that

21:37
allopathic model you can do that with

21:40
supplements

21:42
i

21:43
have someone come in hey i'm stressed

21:45
hey i've got this going on what can i do

21:47
to make myself feel better

21:49
maybe get more sleep

21:51
maybe eat better you know there's all

21:53
these different lifestyle things that we

21:55
need to be doing and need to be

21:56
addressing i think nutrition is a

21:58
foundational part of that

22:00
before we start moving into spending

22:03
money and resources on supplements

22:06
and so it's the kind of thing that's

22:08
like you need to take the time to just

22:10
do your best to

22:13
drill in some meal planning

22:15
and even if it's one or two meals a week

22:18
right that's great that's great you

22:20
prepared them at home they're easy

22:23
and

22:24
you're making progress and so it doesn't

22:26
have to necessarily be all or nothing

22:28
right we don't perfectionism is the

22:30
enemy when it comes to meal planning we

22:32
all have our days um but that's where

22:34
our app

22:35
really makes a huge difference uh in

22:38
keeping it easy it is really really easy

22:42
and everything you're saying is you know

22:44
everyone's slapping their cells in the

22:45
head going yeah yes i need to do that i

22:47
need to get started

22:49
um what i like about what amanda jo has

22:52
put together is she's going to be

22:54
standing right right beside you

22:56
and going to be that consultant that you

22:58
need

22:59
to say yeah just let's keep going let's

23:01
keep getting better um and i think with

23:04
the boomers and there's 10 000 baby

23:05
boomers hitting age 65 every single day

23:08
and one of the things that i run into

23:10
because i handle the money side of it

23:12
obviously the annuity side is people are

23:14
focused on the money and that becomes

23:15
their part-time job their part-time job

23:17
is managing the assets and getting the

23:19
lawyers and the accountants and the

23:20
trust and all that stuff together

23:22
and making sure that the legacy plans in

23:24
place etc

23:26
what i'm encouraging people on this and

23:27
i hope you're listening

23:30
to us

23:31
is maybe this is part of what you do as

23:33
well you know obviously exercise is very

23:35
good

23:36
as part of your plan but nutrition

23:39
is is a big one and i think it's um

23:41
something that's been lost on

23:43
during the education process obviously

23:45
in the public schools um they used to

23:47
teach the pyramid of whether you agree

23:49
with the pyramid of food and whether

23:51
that makes sense or not but they don't

23:52
really do that

23:54
anymore and you know the obesity rate in

23:57
this country is staggering

23:59
can you comment a little bit about pop

24:02
culture and where we're headed as a

24:03
society if we don't get our arms around

24:05
this

24:07
pop culture

24:08
i don't know much about pop culture i'm

24:11
probably the most disconnected person we

24:14
like i i don't have social media

24:16
accounts i i don't spend my time in that

24:20
realm i do see it from the health side

24:23
so i know the certain things that you're

24:24
talking about you know kind of

24:27
there's

24:28
become some confusion between the body

24:31
positivity movement

24:33
and promoting health and so

24:36
one of the things that i see is kind of

24:37
this encouragement to accept yourself

24:40
how you are and and everything's okay

24:43
and that's

24:44
fine yes wherever you're at whatever

24:47
your health struggles may be whatever

24:49
you rate your weight may be

24:50
you're beautiful you're you're valued

24:52
you're important

24:54
the issue is is

24:56
we want you to be around for a long time

24:58
and so for your value to be expressed to

25:02
the world for you to make your impact

25:04
here we need your lifespan to be as long

25:06
as possible and with that is going to go

25:11
some

25:12
lifestyle changes and practices that

25:14
that might lead to you losing some

25:16
weight and coming out of that obesity

25:18
category um even though your value

25:21
doesn't change

25:22
depending on your weight

25:25
it it allows you to be here with us

25:27
longer and that's what we need and

25:29
that's what

25:30
boomers you know your children and your

25:32
grandchildren need

25:33
the closer you are to your ideal weight

25:36
the

25:38
healthier life you're going to have the

25:39
more enjoyable you know your quality of

25:41
life is going to be better

25:43
and you're going to be playing with the

25:44
grandkids running around with the

25:45
grandkids rather than just watching the

25:48
grandkids from afar

25:50
and

25:51
yes the obesity epidemic

25:54
is it's tragic

25:56
but it's all rooted in lifestyle and we

25:59
really can just in simple ways

26:01
make changes that'll that'll combat that

26:04
i was reading an article today before

26:06
just doing some research for what what

26:08
we were going to talk about and somebody

26:11
had written a really good article about

26:12
that diabetes 2 diabetes in general but

26:14
the diabetes 2 people that are

26:16
pre-diabetes pre-diabetics

26:19
is really

26:20
a tidal wave of problems getting ready

26:22
to happen in this country now i i i'm a

26:25
pre-diabetic i mean i'm that person i

26:27
have to watch what i eat

26:29
um and i can't you know being from the

26:32
south i'm originally from north carolina

26:33
and just she's from

26:35
amanda joe's from texas so you know we

26:37
start with desserts in a lot of cases

26:39
but um

26:41
have you found with your nutritional

26:42
plans and in your consultations with

26:45
people that

26:46
you know you're certainly not a doctor

26:48
but have you seen

26:50
really positive effects on people that

26:52
are pre-diabetic once they get locked

26:55
and loaded with your strategies

26:58
yes and

27:00
um

27:01
to

27:03
hopefully my husband will not mind me

27:05
sharing a little bit of information but

27:07
we recently went through an issue so

27:10
diabetes has has run in his the male

27:12
side of his family

27:14
and i run blood work on us so many times

27:17
a year to check different things uh and

27:20
his most recent blood sugar numbers i

27:23
said uh-huh not going to cut it i'm

27:26
about to say that you're in the

27:27
pre-diabetic range now of course i

27:29
wasn't diagnosing him i don't have that

27:31
ability

27:32
but had he gone to a doctor and the

27:34
doctor looked at it he might have said a

27:36
similar statement and

27:38
so i was like hey look we've got to get

27:40
this sorted out

27:42
and i need you to be eating this way and

27:44
that's the thing you know he's even he's

27:46
married to me the boomer nutritionist

27:48
and he still doesn't always follow the

27:51
meal plan but when i'm i put it back in

27:53
his hand and i'm like hey

27:56
please do this

27:58
we're out of that range we're he's

27:59
completely he's not anywhere near

28:02
pre-diabetic anymore you know i'm

28:05
completely happy with the numbers and

28:06
each morning you know he's checking his

28:09
fasting glucose i'll be having him check

28:11
his hba um 1c here soon um

28:15
and

28:16
i'm confident it'll be fine and so it's

28:19
just kind of seeing those personal

28:20
results because it's always

28:23
oh yeah i have a client this or client

28:25
that no my husband

28:28
who had numbers i did not think were

28:30
appropriate is now back in a completely

28:32
healthy range but it you have you just

28:34
have to know about it and so that's part

28:36
of it knowing

28:38
that you're there and having that moment

28:40
with yourself where you say

28:42
do i want to go down the diabetes road

28:44
or do i want to make some changes yeah

28:47
a1c numbers do not lie they are what

28:49
they are you can't massage them you have

28:51
to address them or they don't go away in

28:54
other words you cannot go to the doctor

28:56
or not get the test and you know

28:58
that's your call but what i'm hoping

29:00
this podcast does is say hey yes i'm i'm

29:03
putting together a lifetime income

29:05
stream yes i've got my income floor yes

29:07
i've got everything in proportion

29:09
and i've probably let myself go a little

29:11
bit because i've worked so hard to get

29:12
there now it's time to focus on you

29:15
now it's time to who do i i think one of

29:17
the biggest issues with people out there

29:18
is who do i go to who do i trust who who

29:22
who has it who's made it simple and

29:24
that's when we found you were like this

29:26
is the person because

29:27
my a personality the client base out

29:29
there and people that listen to me

29:31
you know they're

29:33
they're

29:34
they're go getters and they want to be

29:36
able to do it themselves but they also

29:37
want someone that they can trust which

29:39
is the reason

29:40
i really like what you put together

29:41
again it's theboomernutritionist.com

29:44
i was going to ask you this is a little

29:45
bit off topic on nutrition but i think

29:47
it correlates

29:49
a good uh it's a good friend he was on a

29:52
podcast his name's jamie hopkins he's

29:54
one of the thought leaders in the

29:55
retirement income space and he said

29:57
forget return on investment it needs to

29:59
be returned on sleep

30:01
and i've listened to and done some

30:03
research on sleep and someone who

30:05
struggled with sleeping and because i'm

30:08
always running my brain's always moving

30:10
for people out there that said yes mine

30:11
too

30:13
how does sleep factor in or does it does

30:16
it start solving itself as they follow

30:19
your plan

30:22
it's something that you do have to

30:24
caution consciously work on okay so

30:28
proper nutrition eating it you know

30:30
stable meal times

30:32
it's going to keep your blood sugar

30:34
balanced well when your blood sugar is

30:36
more balanced you're going to have fewer

30:38
spikes and cortisol or your adrenaline

30:41
right and so you're going to become more

30:43
mellow well what that can help is it can

30:45
help you wind down in the evenings

30:47
better and so through meal planning

30:49
through a nutrition plan

30:51
you're

30:52
you're keeping that stable line so that

30:54
whenever you get to your evening it's

30:56
not oh i was up here and now i'm trying

30:59
to come back down here and go to sleep

31:01
um that doesn't work

31:02
and

31:04
you know and so it's like go go go go

31:06
and then okay let's sleep i don't think

31:07
so it's not going to happen uh you need

31:09
the adrenaline to come down

31:11
that's where in the evening having some

31:14
carbohydrates uh you know because people

31:16
have different plans right a lot of

31:18
people like to do low carb or low carb

31:20
high fat you know mediterranean diets

31:22
whatever having that extra little bit of

31:24
carbs sometimes in the evening if you

31:26
have a hard time getting to sleep and

31:28
kind of need to calm your adrenals down

31:30
a little bit more carbohydrates will

31:32
contribute to kind of calming those

31:34
adrenals and helping you sleep um

31:37
and

31:37
so

31:39
the other thing the other side of it is

31:41
we have noticed i mean

31:42
my husband has an example and you can

31:45
read this with

31:46
anecdotally from many people who've kind

31:49
of monitored their blood sugar a poor

31:51
night's sleep you will wake up with a

31:54
very high fasting blood glucose level

31:57
and

31:59
it's like whoa what happened i was 15 or

32:01
20 points lower the day before what

32:04
happened was you didn't get any sleep

32:06
and your body is still in high cortisol

32:08
freakout mode

32:10
and if you can't break that cycle you're

32:12
really going to have detrimental things

32:14
happening to your health

32:16
that's

32:17
hcfom high cortisol freak out mode

32:20
that's the acronym for that

32:24
which i like um

32:26
eating late at night why do we want to

32:27
do that why why do i want to grab the

32:29
box of cheetos at 10 30 and and start

32:32
eating those why is that likely it's

32:34
stress almost like you know

32:36
stress blood sugar swings

32:39
habits a lot of times we do things habit

32:41
comforts especially if it's a comfort

32:43
food

32:44
um there's there's a lot of reasons and

32:47
you know here

32:49
you know the boomer nutritionist my goal

32:52
is to help you kind of

32:54
change your longevity trajectory right

32:57
so we have this i hope that everyone

32:59
would go to the website and look at the

33:01
graphs there we have they will i promise

33:03
you yes what i call the sad longevity

33:07
trajectory and the happy one and

33:11
uh it's

33:12
it's a very important thing for people

33:14
to kind of consider and

33:16
yeah we won't we want happy i mean

33:18
that's what we want

33:20
for sure but happy doesn't happen

33:23
unless you're feeling good

33:25
yeah kind of another out of the lane

33:27
question but you know when you're on fun

33:29
with annuities it's kind of a

33:30
free-for-all you know that amanda joe i

33:31
told you that she goes uh before she

33:33
goes what's what's all the questions i'm

33:35
like i'm not sure yet no i actually have

33:36
written them down but i i want to um

33:40
kind of free form it because we've

33:41
gotten a lot out of here that i didn't

33:42
even know we were going to go down the

33:44
road one of the things i want to talk to

33:45
you about

33:46
is fasting which is seems to be a lot of

33:49
books written on fasting i've read some

33:51
of them

33:52
um

33:53
even my general practitioners

33:56
want you to fast like they say stan

33:58
don't eat after six and you know fast

34:00
for 12 hours a day or fast for 15 hours

34:02
a day

34:04
what's your thoughts on that

34:07
fasting is wonderful

34:09
uh it's

34:11
it's something that your body okay so

34:13
breakfast right then we get the word

34:15
from it's it's the meal that breaks the

34:17
fast right so we're all we normally fast

34:20
overnight

34:22
and

34:23
it gives our body a ton the time it

34:25
needs to repair because the majority of

34:28
our energy during the day it goes

34:31
towards digestion so when you eat a big

34:33
meal your body that's why you can't even

34:35
get that afternoon slump after lunch

34:37
where you're tired all the blood all the

34:40
energy is going to your gut it's like oh

34:42
hey we gotta digest this and get the

34:44
nutrients into our blood

34:47
well that robs everything else you know

34:49
so when you need to have cellular repair

34:52
say you you your immune system needs to

34:54
be on guard because you have come in

34:57
close contact with a virus or bacteria

35:00
if your body is still stuck working on

35:03
digestion

35:05
it's gonna be like sorry can't fight

35:06
that right now i'm too busy over here

35:09
and i don't have enough energy to spare

35:10
and so giving our body that break

35:13
it comes down to the cellular level

35:15
where you can get autophagy so you get

35:17
this kind of

35:18
um

35:19
poor cell cells that need to just go on

35:21
their way because they aren't really

35:22
doing the good stuff anymore will die

35:24
they'll kind of self-destruct and that

35:27
creates the room for healthy new cells

35:30
and you know health when it comes down

35:32
to it

35:33
cellular health is the foundation of

35:36
everything and so that's why we always

35:38
turn to nutrition

35:39
because what are you feeding your cells

35:42
your cells are what's going to create

35:43
what your body feels like looks like and

35:46
so fasting is great now there's always

35:49
caveats if someone struggles with an

35:52
eating disorder anorexia yeah honey you

35:55
can't we're not going to recommend

35:56
fasting to you because first you're

35:58
needing to overcome

36:00
some different struggles before we can

36:02
go there so

36:03
it's all very individualized and it is

36:06
something that's important say if

36:07
someone is diabetic and they are on

36:09
hormone or some type of other medication

36:13
they do need to really monitor

36:15
themselves and not just all of a sudden

36:17
say i'm going to fast for 24 hours i'm

36:18
going to fast for 16 hours and they keep

36:21
taking their medication the way they had

36:23
been when they were eating they could

36:25
end up with dangerously low blood sugar

36:26
and so

36:28
it's good it can be dangerous um it all

36:31
just depends on your circumstances and

36:33
obviously you know we're we're

36:34
pontificating here a little bit you need

36:36
to see your doctor

36:38
and talk with them about that but

36:39
wouldn't it be a neat thing to walk into

36:40
your doctor and say you know what

36:42
amanda jo at uh the boomer nutritionist

36:45
i'm working with her as well on my

36:47
nutritional plan my meal plan

36:49
i guarantee you 100 of your doctors will

36:52
go excellent thank you

36:54
amanda joe i will tell you i'm very

36:56
transparent about all this i i had my

36:58
aha dug no brainer slap the head moment

37:01
when you said bret breakfast and then

37:02
broke down what it meant i'm like oh

37:04
yeah it's breaking the fast i'm like

37:07
yeah but i don't know why i didn't put

37:09
that together but you know laugh about

37:11
it i'm from the south i'm from north

37:12
carolina you know we're just and down

37:14
here we say breakfast sometimes anyways

37:17
breakfast breakfast breakfast all right

37:20
let's go into some really

37:22
controversial topics here amanda joe

37:24
okay

37:25
alcohol

37:29
so

37:30
[Music]

37:32
they are calories

37:34
they could be fun calories

37:38
uh

37:38
by the way stop for a second

37:40
transparency i'm very honest about who i

37:42
am

37:43
um as of this uh october of this year

37:46
will be my 18th year of sobriety

37:49
i have a tendency not to do anything in

37:50
moderation as everyone knows i'm all in

37:53
so that happened with the drinking i

37:55
thought heck if you were going to have

37:56
six beers why not have 18.

37:58
um but you know that that can only can

38:00
go so far right

38:02
yes i'm a proud recovering

38:05
heavy drinker but i

38:07
obviously i wouldn't be here if i was

38:08
continuing to do that but let's go back

38:11
to the alcohol conundrum of you know

38:13
there are people that can enjoy alcohol

38:15
and it's great

38:16
but it can be a problem right it can be

38:20
a problem and

38:22
um

38:23
there's a different problems that come

38:25
with it and different types of alcohol

38:27
can cause different things for different

38:28
people and so

38:30
in the nutrition world there's a common

38:33
um topic of histamine intolerance right

38:36
so

38:37
most of your i guarantee most people

38:39
have not heard of this uh that will be

38:41
listening to this podcast but sometimes

38:43
when people eat or they drink some

38:45
alcohol maybe they'll get this red

38:46
flushing all through their face um

38:49
and that can be a reaction to the

38:51
histamines

38:52
so

38:53
not only are you having kind of the

38:56
issue with alcohol because

38:58
one drink of alcohol

39:01
you know they say that's moderate

39:03
whatever that's great if if that's you

39:05
and you enjoy a glass of wine and in the

39:07
evening to flying down wonderful these

39:10
are your decisions to make sure if you

39:12
can't seem to have the one glass and it

39:14
turns into the whole bottle or more well

39:17
then you really are

39:19
jeopardizing your health goals and so

39:21
it's not to pass judgment one way or the

39:23
other you do you but if you have

39:26
goals for longevity

39:28
and for quality of life you really do

39:31
have to sit back and be honest with

39:33
yourself and assess where you're at

39:35
having a drink or mimosa out with the

39:37
girls for lunch or brunch whatever

39:40
great enjoy your mimosa

39:43
if you get 12 mimosas well then you kind

39:45
of just consumed all of your calories

39:48
that's what i would do i mean i'd go and

39:50
just say just bring six and then bring

39:52
me another six we're good yeah yeah no

39:54
that's not that's not but i think i

39:55
think baby boomers and obviously i'm not

39:58
going to reveal my age but i'm not i'm

40:00
not young anymore amanda joe anyway

40:02
um as you get older you just realize and

40:05
i don't drink anymore but

40:07
you just can't go at it like you used to

40:09
and i know people say of course dan what

40:11
do you think

40:13
but

40:13
you still do you're still going at it a

40:16
lot of you out there

40:17
and what i'm hoping is you realize that

40:20
if kovitt didn't do just realize that

40:22
life is short if kova didn't do one

40:23
thing

40:24
good it did this

40:26
it it made us realize in a very

40:30
in your face fashion the fragility of

40:32
life

40:33
and not to get sappy about it and i had

40:35
three friends die

40:36
in my age group of covid

40:39
so it really hit home close to me

40:43
but it made me also go you know what

40:45
who knows when we're going to die no one

40:47
knows when we're going to die but if i

40:49
have anything to do with it to prevent

40:51
that then i'm going to try like heck and

40:54
coming out of a about a year and a half

40:56
of not giving a crap i'm now back on

40:59
on the uh the path and and discipline

41:02
doing the exercise in the diet

41:04
and um subscribing to amanda joe's meal

41:07
plan so

41:08
um that's getting ready to happen that

41:10
is getting ready to happen i you know

41:12
what's interesting about this podcast is

41:14
i'm learning a lot more about your

41:16
business model and it's so

41:18
more intricate than i than i thought in

41:20
my apologies and congrats to you and

41:22
kudos to you because it's a lot more

41:24
than just it's it's meal plan it's it's

41:26
one-on-one consulting it's looking at

41:28
your supplements it's everything

41:31
it's everything and working side by side

41:34
with your doctor go ahead yes well i'm

41:36
just saying we try we try to

41:40
assist people what's what use is all the

41:42
knowledge that i've accumulated unless

41:44
it's going to help people and so

41:47
there's it's not i don't just have

41:48
information about nutrition i have

41:50
information on

41:52
but you know many other things and the

41:55
great thing about this is the way that

41:56
it's structured

41:58
is that you can be as involved or as

42:02
disconnected as you want to be and so

42:05
whenever you sign up for meal planning

42:07
you get coaching emails over the next

42:10
the following 22 weeks so about half a

42:12
year of coaching emails that just kind

42:15
of function you to think about certain

42:18
things

42:19
and guide you on lifestyle changes and

42:23
you have

42:24
either your pdf for your phone or your

42:26
desktop to access your meal planning and

42:29
you don't have to talk to me you don't

42:31
even have to deal with me you don't have

42:33
to feel like there's some type of

42:34
pressure if you're on again off again

42:37
with it it's okay because you know that

42:39
the resource is always there at your

42:41
fingertips and you don't have anyone

42:43
judging you or condemning you because oh

42:46
hey last week you didn't log your meal

42:48
plan on the other side of that if you

42:51
want to

42:52
chat with me

42:54
get that extra accountability

42:56
have a more in-depth plan then you can

42:58
be connected with me and so

43:01
again

43:02
people get that white coat syndrome even

43:04
with a nutritionist i don't wear white

43:06
coats

43:07
but

43:08
people just kind of get this hesitancy

43:10
but to know that they can access this

43:11
and access meal planning

43:13
truly without having to do with me like

43:15
ever like no office visit or anything

43:18
it just makes it even more accessible

43:20
and it kind of calms the nerves of

43:22
people who are a little hesitant

43:25
going to step on the soapbox real quick

43:27
and then i'm going to ask you a question

43:28
after that i thought covid provided the

43:31
ultimate opportunity for the government

43:32
to

43:33
step in and say yes let's take care of

43:35
ourselves yes less social distance yes

43:37
let's wear masks whatever that means but

43:40
start exercising start eating better

43:43
start taking care of yourself that was

43:44
never said

43:45
as a preventative

43:47
measure to covet and in general

43:50
overall health i think that was a missed

43:53
opportunity i don't know why

43:56
that didn't happen but with that being

43:58
said

44:00
the future of nutritional education

44:03
um do you see that improving or is it

44:06
still going to be like pushing a rope

44:08
to get that done in this country

44:12
if you empower people

44:15
to make their own decisions and be

44:17
accountable for their own health and

44:19
lifestyle

44:21
they can't play a victim card anymore

44:23
and that may be

44:26
a little prickly for some people to hear

44:29
but

44:31
the government love them hate them

44:33
whatever

44:35
they

44:36
it's easier if you kind of you know

44:38
comply

44:40
right

44:41
anytime we

44:43
decide i'm going to do this and you know

44:45
we find that

44:46
that internal will and kind of

44:48
self-power that's not necessarily

44:50
something governments enjoy

44:52
um

44:53
and

44:54
so i don't know i think that nutrition

44:56
education is something that's going to

44:58
have to be for those who seek it i don't

45:00
think it's going to be something that's

45:02
provided because honestly a lot of the

45:04
nutrition information that has been

45:06
provided and

45:09
it irritates me because the boomers it

45:11
breaks my heart

45:12
because the boomer generation

45:15
y'all have been the generation most

45:17
affected by the poor nutrition

45:19
recommendations provided by our

45:22
government this whole low-fat no fat

45:25
craze replace the fat with sugar

45:28
look at where we are and say over 65 of

45:31
the population is overweight or obese so

45:35
you know that's a problem now are they

45:38
going to go back and say oh hey we've

45:40
misguided you and you should have kept

45:42
eating the fat no and we should have

45:45
avoided the sugar but these guys lobbied

45:47
us to tell you otherwise

45:50
sorry you know but their retirement is

45:53
fat you know what i mean and so

45:55
it's just

45:57
it's irritating um

45:59
and people are really gonna have to

46:00
understand they need to take

46:02
accountability um for their own health

46:06
uh because you're your best advocate

46:09
and

46:10
that's where you need to get educated

46:12
and it breaks my heart to see some of

46:14
these um inner city or lower income

46:16
areas where they call them food deserts

46:18
and only thing there would be

46:20
fast food and junk food and and and

46:22
convenience store food processed food

46:25
whatever

46:26
um what's your take on just processed

46:29
food you know the the stuff that has the

46:31
shelf life i mean do you avoid that or

46:33
obviously you if you eat it you eat it

46:35
in moderation

46:36
but um i'm assuming you're an advocate

46:38
of of if people can afford it most

46:40
people on this podcast probably can

46:42
because they're they're they're worried

46:44
about their money so they have a little

46:45
bit

46:46
um are you advocating

46:48
you know

46:50
buying from the outside of the aisles

46:51
not the inside of the aisles of the

46:52
grocery store yes

46:55
we all

46:57
have those times where we need

46:58
convenience foods and so

47:01
it's not realistic

47:03
mine's krispy kreme donuts by the way if

47:05
you're keeping score

47:06
you know

47:08
that's

47:08
mine you're gonna find like an organic

47:11
gluten-free doughnut of those three

47:13
there's good you're gonna have the

47:14
krispy kreme just go for it no i haven't

47:17
i have them in my head now i never have

47:19
them but i i

47:20
i think about when i used to have them

47:23
they were fantastic but go ahead um but

47:25
yes

47:26
whole foods and and that's the thing so

47:29
in these food deserts

47:31
one of the really cool things about this

47:33
app

47:34
you can

47:35
say there's a meal and you're out

47:37
driving around or you're in a place that

47:39
there really are no restaurants you're

47:41
not gonna be able to prepare a meal

47:42
things haven't gone as planned or

47:43
whatever you can swap but one of the

47:46
things you can do is just click swap

47:49
and then you can swap it to a restaurant

47:52
meal so a map will pop up showing you

47:55
the restaurants around you and gives you

47:58
the meat the menus of those restaurants

48:00
so say a chick-fil-a or whoever pops up

48:03
and it'll say okay you have an allotment

48:05
of 600 calories for this meal

48:08
and

48:09
you can it'll show you okay

48:11
get the nuggets and you can get the

48:13
salad and you will stay within your

48:16
recommendation and you just replace that

48:18
meal in the app it calculates everything

48:20
for you and so you don't ever have to

48:22
calculate calories that's the other

48:23
great thing about this you don't have to

48:25
um keep up with that it just tells you a

48:28
meal to prepare you prepare it according

48:30
to how it says or you replace the

48:32
restaurant meal that is equivalent

48:34
and it does all the population for you

48:37
so

48:38
you know when it comes to these food

48:40
deserts

48:41
maybe all that's around is a subway or

48:43
something along those lines

48:45
it doesn't matter you can

48:47
find okay if subway's all i've got

48:49
that's nearby what do i need to be

48:51
eating to to benefit the most and you

48:54
can make it work is what you're saying

48:56
yeah you can uh and another really cool

48:59
thing

49:00
say mama bear is like i'm gonna get

49:03
healthy and i need to put all this

49:04
information in for myself

49:06
she can then go in and add additional

49:09
family members and we don't charge for

49:11
that we don't charge for you to put in

49:13
an additional family member

49:15
so wives husbands maybe you want to get

49:18
on the plan

49:19
and you just want to account for your

49:22
spouse to be there for dinner you can

49:24
include them you put their name their

49:26
information

49:27
you select dinner and then they will be

49:29
automatically populated in your meal

49:31
planning nice uh and so then it'll tell

49:34
you okay at dinner time you make this

49:37
recipe you get half he gets half uh or

49:41
whatever it is or

49:42
you know a mom mom gets a quarter dad

49:45
gets a quarter and then the other half

49:46
goes for the four children that you put

49:48
in i mean you can just put in however

49:49
many you need and it helps you to batch

49:51
prepare

49:52
uh so it's a really cool thing now this

49:54
app is downloadable on your site or do

49:57
you have to go to itunes or what how do

49:59
you do this

50:00
so once you sign up for the meal

50:03
planning we send and we

50:05
we have an intake form so we have a form

50:07
where you're going to have to give me

50:08
some information it's not super in-depth

50:10
because we're trying to keep it

50:12
accessible and keep it easy and not

50:14
scare anyone away but you know basic

50:17
name email height weight sure what's

50:19
your goal kind of thing and then we will

50:22
send you the link and it is on um in

50:26
your app store on your phone so

50:28
whichever whether your android or iphone

50:30
you can find it there sure uh and then

50:32
we will also send you

50:34
the website to bookmark so that you can

50:36
log in there if you um

50:39
choose to which we we encourage everyone

50:41
to use both um unless you're just

50:44
getting the pdfs and you're not really

50:46
computer oriented or whatever um or

50:48
maybe you're wanting to do this for a

50:50
relative maybe you want to get your

50:52
grandma

50:53
on a meal plan but you know she's not

50:55
tech savvy sign her up we can email you

50:58
or email her the

51:00
um the meal plans each week you print

51:03
them for her and say hey grams you know

51:05
this is what you need to go back at the

51:06
store or i can help you with these meals

51:08
so there's it's really amazing you can

51:11
even add a guest so if you have a guest

51:14
coming over for one meal for dinner

51:16
and you want to make sure you have

51:17
enough ingredients and everybody eats

51:19
properly you just add a guest in it

51:21
calculates the serving for them uh and

51:24
then you can remove them afterwards

51:26
gonna have to get used to portion sizes

51:28
right i mean portion size in this
