The JingSlinger’s Biohacks for a Long Healthy Life
There are easy ways of extending our longevity and maximizing our best life that the average Joe like you or I simply aren’t taking advantage of. These are the kind of realities that Jay and Joy, The JingSlingers, want to enlighten us with. They make their living being optimized health counselors to everyday people and some well-known public figures. They understand that living a truly healthy lifestyle is about finding a method that is sustainable and fits with your life.
Jay and Joy and I could talk for hundreds of hours on all of the fascinating secrets they know about optimizing health, but in this session, we mostly focus on food. Specifically, how can one eat well, avoid pesticides, not break the bank and easily find time for it. Turns out, it isn’t impossible. To find out some amazing health and wellness hacks that Jay and Joy throw down, listen in. You aren’t going to want to miss them discussing:
- The #1 most pesticide-ridden food.
- How to stave off colds naturally.
- What food has the resveratrol levels of 36 glasses of wine.
- Where to find the cheapest, best, organic food.
Here’s what I learned:
When You Reboot, You Get Results
- When you work on one part of a healthy lifestyle, you get other benefits.
- When you are working on your sleep, your energy level raises.
- You must treat your body with integrity.
- It is important to know what a food or an environmental factor is doing to your body.
- You can eat nearly the same meal as a vegetarian or vegan or omnivore and match the tastes and the mouthfeels so they all love what they are eating, and it is healthy.
- They help stave off colds and nutritional deficiencies.
- Incorporating them into smoothies is so easy.
- The word superfood is only correct if the food has a super high concentration of vitamins and minerals
- For example, Acai.
- Acai has super high levels of antioxidants.
- The amount of resveratrol of 36 glasses of wine.
- Layer it with blueberry and some kale and you’ve got a packed smoothie.
- Most Americans eat 25-30 individual foods, with superfoods you powerpack those foods, get a burst of nutrition.
- Maca root:
- It’s like a radish.
- Precursors to testosterone and progesterone.
- It’s great for libido, endocrine system, adrenals.
- Goji berries:
- They have a great effect on hormonal system.
- They directly affect pituitary.
- This levels out moods.
GMO Food-AVOID AT ALL COSTS
- You want the highest quality possible.
- Corn:
- The corn that Native Americans ate was a superfood.
- It has been reduced to a ghost of what it was nutritionally.
- There are tons of pesticides that are xenoestrogens that plug into your estrogen receptors and make you overproduce it.
Dirty Dozen and Clean 15
- Jay and Joy avoid GMOs entirely.
- Dirty Dozen:
- These should be the ones that you definitely go organic for.
- Pesticides can actually seep into the vegetable or fruit.
- Strawberries are #1.
- Also on the list is celery, apples, grapes, tomatoes, and cucumbers.
- Pesticide doesn’t penetrate the vegetable.
- Examples are onion, avocado, cantaloupe, and sweet potato.
- Go an hour or so before it closes.
- Know about your organic farmers.
- Even organic strawberries can have pesticides seep in from the ground.
- However, some pesticides are based in clove oil and are safer to eat.
We Live in a Toxic World
- Know the steps of detoxification.
- Broken cell chlorella powder is great for cleaning your system.
- Jay and Joy have rid someone’s migraines just by getting rid of their Febreeze filter.
Fruit and Veggie Peel
- Typically, they have the most nutrition.
- However, peeling them mitigates risk of pesticide.
- Superfood powders are your new bff, they still have all the nutrients of the peel.
- Macrolife Greens
- Miracle Reds
- Pure Synergy
- Food-grade hydrogen peroxide, 3%
- Apple cider vinegar
- Vinegar and water solution
Eat Live Foods
- The closer to the ground, the better.
- Packaged food is going to be very dried out.
- You want enzymes from the food, not just nutrients.
- If you get up and juice some fresh organic veggies in the morning, it is a great start.
- Be careful about how your food is packaged.
- Cans have BPA to prevent rust that isn’t healthy.
- Glass is best.
- Plastic bottled water can break down and contaminate the water inside.
Drinking Water
- Spring water is the best with a low total dissolved solid.
- Plastic bottled water has likely been in those bottles for months in a hot truck.
- There is fluoride and chlorine in tap water, which makes it the worst option.
- Distillation has nothing in it, you may want to run it through a remineralization system.
- It was developed by Daniel Vitalis.
- It shows local springs if you want to hunt for great local drinking water.
- It’s not a lifestyle for everyone.
Soy-Good or Bad?
- Soy is highly estrogenic.
- It’s ne of the top genetically modified foods in the US.
- Veggie burgers are using less soy, however.
- It can inhibit thyroid function.
- Fermented soy, such as in miso, however, can protect against radiation.
Batch Cooking
- It’s a great way to spend time with family while making it easy to cook healthy for your family the whole week.
- It is a stress reliever to be around your friends and family and enjoying a meal.
- High tech and low touch, that touch should come back.
Lightning Round!
- Dairy-Good or Bad?
- It’s good if it is grassfed and organic.
- It provides beneficial fats.
- It used to be used as IVs in WWII.
- Contains good saturated fat.
- Protophyll is great.
- Coconut flour can be made into so many things.
- The Vitalizer, however that is expensive.
- Little drops called Crystal Energy by Patrick Flannigan.
- Celtic salt is best.
- The next best is Himalayan salt.
- Salt that is infused with something like saffron or truffle oil is amazing for cooking.
- Grain Brain
- Wheatbelly
