Your Nervous System Doesn’t Care About Nutrition Labels — It Wants Stability!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
I haven't been over here for a while,
but I got to make this video because
this is an important issue that keeps
coming up uh mostly in the private
sessions and also in the comments is
there's a lot of people out there
especially the west western society
where their nervous system is super
ungrounded.
Their nervous systems are just lit up
you know and I got to tell you one of
the biggest medicines is the food we
eat. It's a super intimate process has
super strong effect on the on the bo the
body. I mean we're eating our body is
made out of elements. The food is
elements and so when we eat the elements
it has a synergistic effect with our
whole system. But we're talking about
the nervous system here because this is
a this is
this is what causes people so much pain
and stress and pressure. It has nothing
to do with spirituality. It has to do
with your biology. It has to do with
your
sensitivity of your nervous system and
how grounded you are.
And so the foods can really help with
that. Foods can be poison or medicine,
man.
Literally. And the same food, this is
where where it gets complex and this is
why nobody will ever totally agree on
diets because it's all subjective. But
the same food that's poisonous for me
could be medicine for you today,
tomorrow,
vice versa. We don't know. This is why
the highest and I share about this in
the true health book in one of the
chapters. I don't remember the name of
the chapter, but when it comes right
down to it, you have to ascertain these
things for your own self. It can help by
of course collecting some information,
getting some knowledge that like gives
the intuition a vehicle to work through
so that then it can ascertain what's
what. It's like like I know nothing
about rocket science. Intuition can't
work in me and I can't intuit it things
about rocket science. The vehicle hasn't
been built. I haven't been went to
college or school to like learn about
that. So how how can I have any
intuition about it? So there's a time
and place for sure for collecting uh
data information but ultimately you have
to ascertain these things for your own
self. But I wanted to give
a synopsis or a little protocol anyway
for what people can eat when they have a
a nervous system disorder or mental
health, emotional health disorders or
just a super lit up nervous system. And
I'm making a post. It should pro it's
probably out right now by the time you
see this video where I list what I uh
I'll just I just give a basic protocol
for what I do when I'm in this stage of
you can say rebuilding or grounding.
See, there's two aspects to health.
There's detox, then there's rebuilding
or grounding. You can't just do one. If
you just keep doing detox forever,
you'll go you'll go you'll go mad.
There's so many raw food people and um
fasting experts that ran into that. They
just tore their nervous system up in the
name of cleanse, cleanse, cleanse. You
see, because the mind, it likes one or
the other. And the same thing with the
carnivore diets and paleo. It's like
fat, fat, protein, protein, you know.
Yeah, that's going to burn you out, too.
I've done both and I've burned out on
both. That's why I know that balance is
the key here.
You have to work it. You have to just
see. Yeah, detox is important. It's
important to clean the system
because having a bunch of residue and
toxins in your system, that can also
aggravate the nervous system. But the
nervous system can also be aggravated if
it's imbalanced and it's taking in too
much electricity and it's not grounded.
That's that's what detox does. That's
what fruits do. And too much fasting.
And man, you have to come into a
balance. It's like when I was when I was
writing books and
when I went through this initial
learning curve with the YouTube and
having all these different channels and
trying to figure out, okay, what
channels can I focus on? I can't do them
all forever. Like, it's too much. So,
what channels am I going to focus on?
But did I make enough videos on these
channels? And I was super busy, man. And
I was learning this stuff, which I hate
technology. It's not my thing. So, so it
shortcircuited my CPU more than like the
average person who's who grew up with
this kind of technology. But when I was
writing the books and stuff and doing
all what I was doing,
I was living I was have had a super high
octane diet fullon because I need I
wanted that life force. I wanted that,
you know, sharp would be real sharp.
But you could only do that so long. I I
like started getting burnt out. My
nerves couldn't handle it. So then I
switched over to a more grounding
diet for the nervous system. That's like
medicine.
Both both are medicine depending on what
your body's calling for in that
particular moment.
So in this video we're talking about a
more grounding approach in diet and then
I can refer people now to the video and
to the post. See people that I work with
and I can say look just look at this
video and read this post. This is why I
originally wanted to make videos to
begin with. when I started this YouTube
channel. I was doing private sessions
before I even started YouTube
and it just got too redundant.
And then I realized, wait, I I can make
videos then maybe they can watch them
and then either they don't have to reach
out to me or we'll be on a higher level
because now they'll have the foundation.
They'll have the the background
information.
So So that's what we're doing here.
We're we're making a a video about how
to get grounded and I I made a the post
should be up about
I have a few recipes like what I eat for
dinner and also uh snacks during the day
that's grounding.
Okay, but we're going to go over it also
here in in the video.
So first thing
when you when we're talking about health
see people get stuck in concepts
they look only at like uh nutritional
level.
Oh wait I just have to have to make sure
I wrote some bullet points down and I
lost my my place. Usually we hit them
all anyway but this helps helps make
sure that uh we don't we don't miss
important things.
people get and I did too. I got lost in
the concept of like nutritional value.
Is this nutritious? Is this healthy?
See, even if something's healthy and
nutritional on paper or if something's
good in its essence, like fasting
doesn't mean it's good for you right
now. This is really important to
understand.
The body and the nervous system doesn't
care about concepts, what's healthy and
what's what it doesn't care about. It
cares about is this quieting me, is this
grounding me, or is this like revving me
up and I'm already revved up.
This is why we got to be careful when it
comes to too much fasting and fruits and
we our nervous system's already wired
like it's already like we don't want
more more uh octane booster.
Yeah, but it's like super energetic and
yeah, but I don't need any more energy,
man. I need to calm down. You see,
you you have to you have to have
discernment and wisdom when it when it
comes to these things. So,
when we're talking about a super
sensitive nervous system,
I learned this because I suffered it.
Excessive uh sweets, for example, it can
excessive sugar period. Fruits, too much
fruits, not saying don't eat fruits at
all. You can eat monom meal fruits.
But like if you make it, like I used to,
I did for years, make a big smoothie and
I put just put everything in it. mango
when I was in Thailand. Mango and papaya
and banana and then I'd put avocado and
then nuts and seeds and coconut water
and coconut meat and I was just adding
stuff to it all the time. I mean, it's
huge.
That was cool. It was cool for its time.
I was like super amped up, but then it
started going the other way. It's too
much electricity. I needed to ground. So
all that all that hype, all that high
octane,
if you got a sensitive nervous system,
man, you might you might want to chill
on that. And the same with the juices. I
used to make juices. I would juice all
the time, vegetable juices and fruit
juices. And and yeah, it's good on
paper. It's healthy, but is it good for
you? Does it make your nervous system
quiet?
You can have energy. I'm not talking
about not having energy, but I'm saying
like are you spasming?
Do you are you are you getting like ill
symptoms because of it? Particularly if
you already have any kind of mental
health issues, bipolar, schizophrenia or
ticks or OCD or anxiety. Like is that
helping that? Just answer for yourself
and see. Don't worry about what health
gurus say. They they're not you. Like
who cares what they say? You you There
was a saying, I don't know where it came
from. It said physician heal thyself.
You're your highest doctor. You're
you're the highest scientist. You know
your body better than anybody. This is
100% true. You don't need to go to
doctors to get them to tell you like
what's wrong with you. Not not once you
become acquainted with your inner
terrain. You you you diagnose yourself.
You know what's wrong with you.
So
careful when you're eating too much uh
too much sugar, you're drinking too much
liquids, too much high octane fuel that
just digests really quick. It's like
boom
is it's not so good. And too much
fasting.
I wouldn't do any fasting, man. If if
you're in the in the stage and season of
you're wanting to ground and rebuild,
man, forget about fasting. Fast later if
if if that season is alive now. Oh, you
just want to ground
and uh healthy
healthy fats, simple ingredients like we
don't want complex meals that also that
also causes uh the nervous system
doesn't know how to deal with all you
know you get these things that have all
these ingredients in it and the nervous
the body has to break down everything
and that's a lot of work that can also
spasm the the nervous system. So So what
do I eat? Where do I eat that? U Oh,
just lastly, so fat, healthy fat though
stabilizes your your your your blood
sugar. It lowers your stress. It doesn't
spike your insulin. I wanted to put
those things in there for the
intellectualist that they want to know
like, "Yeah, but why exactly is it
good?" My mom used to ask me, I I'd make
a tea for it. She says, "Yeah, but
exactly why is it good?" I don't know.
Just drink it and see. I'm not much for
details. I like does it work or not
work. That's more important than giving
some scientific explanation. But it is
true. I I can feel the when when I'm
eating healthy fat, I don't get that
that spike.
And you notice I've noticed some of my
best friends were fat always. They were
just kind of chill, man. Just kind of
like, you know, they didn't have much
stress. All that fat, it's like
buffering the stress.
I asked my girlfriend once, she she was
a little a little heavy. I said, "Do you
think that little extra heaviness helps
buffer stress?"
Yeah, you got to be careful certain
questions, you know, provokes people.
But I just had an intuitive feeling that
that was the I was honestly asking
because I was like thinking, damn, I I
might need to put on some extra weight
that might help with the nervous system
imbalance that was driving me a bit mad
at the time. I'm like, maybe I should
look more like you. That was why I was
asking it. So, what do I eat?
I'm putting all this in the post, too.
So you have it, you can see it, you
know. Um,
okay. So, I like smaller meals. I don't
like a big meal because that's like a
more of a burden on the digestive
system. So, I like to eat smaller. So,
just let's just let's just start. I wake
up in the morning. I always drink my
tonics. I'm a big proponent of being
hydrated. I drink less now than before.
I used to drink eight eight tonics a
day. Man, I was amped. That was cool
though at the time. It was cool. I I was
just getting all this electricity. My
nervous system was down for so many
years. I like needed that electricity.
But then it I got I started short
circuiting, you know, it's too much
electricity. But I So I drink one I
drink I drink my tonic and then I'll
make some u oats, protein oats. I don't
put a bunch of fruit in it and honey and
maple syrup. Forget about sweet. We're
not here to like This problem with my
mom. She wants things to taste good and
and I'm like, "This does taste clean. I
don't know how good it tastes, but who
cares? I'm not eating for taste. I'm
eating for balance, grounding." So, I'll
have some oats. I'll throw some some
berries in it or something, and that's
it.
And then I can feel the nerves. The
nerves are like, they like it. It's like
bathing in that fat in that in that more
denser chemistry, you know. And oats are
good.
So, I'll I'll do that and then I'll have
maybe a handful of grapes or something
afterwards, whenever if I feel a little,
you know, before I go out, hour later,
handful of grapes, handful of cherries,
something. And then I'll drink another
tonic after that. And then I might have
some cheese, some organic cheese with as
least ingredients as possible in it on
some crackers that have the least
ingredients
as possible in it. kind of that that
that continues the the the
more dense uh chemistry and fat
continues through the day because if the
fat takes longer to digest, that's not
such a bad thing. It's is there's it
take there's two things. Does something
take longer to digest because that's
just the nature of the chemistry or is
it taking longer to digest because the
body doesn't recognize it. It's just
some Burger King meal or something. And
so it's like trying to figure out how do
I digest that? That's not good. You you
want a fuel that burns slow and that's
what healthy fat does. And so then I'll
have maybe I'll have uh I can also have
an avoc avocado with some salt. I'll put
some salt on it or maybe put that on a
cracker.
Uh pistachios. I'm giving you options
now. I don't do all that during the day.
It's too I don't need it. It's too much.
Pistachios are good.
Uh, let's see.
Okay, so just lastly about the fruits.
Fruits are still good. Like again, don't
be so extreme, but but monom meal hand
full of something like small monomal
fruits. You still want some electricity.
It's just you've changed over now.
Whereas before when you're in the detox
diet, it's like predominantly high
octane and fruits and fasting and then a
little bit of fat. Now we've switched
over. It's more fat, but still
a decent, you know, amount of fruit in
uh uh
higher electricity.
You you size that up for yourself, you
see.
Okay. So for dinner and I I I've wrote
this uh
in the in in the post also digestion.
I noticed this correlation years ago.
When my stomach's messed up, my central
nervous system, the brain gets messed
up. There's a direct correlation with
your stomach and your uh central nervous
system.
Do you know it's it's not up for debate.
It just is. When when the food I've
eaten some food that's just too
processed or not organic,
the stomach is having trouble and then
the nervous system gets involved. It
also has trouble. Like the two they have
a symbiotic relationship with each
other. This is why it's important to eat
clean. Clean food less ingredients.
Don't eat such complex chemistry. And if
when it comes to bread, because you
heard me, I toast number one's better
than just plain bread. When you toast
it, it can digest better. Something to
do probably with the it the the glucose
or something. It's not so doughy like
you toasted it. It's my opinion. But I
like sourdough bread.
I get it at in the frozen section at the
health food store.
We're we're we're getting into small
details now, but that's it's not such a
big deal. Um, but when I when it comes
to dinner, see, number one, I'm not a
chef. I don't really enjoy being in the
kitchen. I don't like cooking. It's just
not my thing. I like to get it done.
Well, fortunately, I have some good uh I
found a I call it the peasant diet. This
is what the villagers eat like back in
the day and still the ones that live
like in the Himalayas or something. Just
simple. They don't have modern
technology and electricity. They get a
pot and they put the stuff in the pot.
They cook it all day and then they eat
it.
Home cook. I like homecooked.
So, I got a slow cooker. And uh I make
these one pot recipes.
Simple food, man. Again, like we're not
going to win an award if you bring your
your dish to the chef contest. You
probably come in last,
but you might come in first with health.
I can't find I don't care if the
restaurant's $100 or $200. The food
sucks for me compared to a simple
probably cost a dollar. These these um
examples I'm going to give you in a
second. I was telling my friend, we were
laughing about that. I'm like, I don't
want to if I had a free pass to go to
these expensive restaurants, I wouldn't
go. I don't want to eat their food. So,
I I have a slow cooker and I make these
one pot recipes.
Well, what did I make this morning? It's
cooking right now. Takes like seven,
eight hours. Slow cook. I like to slow
cook. It just It's nice. It tastes good.
It tastes like like I'm eating medicine.
That's how it feels when I eat it. I put
I Today I made u ah brown brown dahl
brown lentils. So, I put the a cup of
brown lentils in the pot. I put uh five
cups of water.
I put some onion. No. Yeah. No. I put
some garlic paste and um ginger paste in
there because I don't feel like cutting
up the garlic and ginger.
The knives are too dull. And if I buy
the sharp ones, I always cut my finger.
So, I'll just put the paste in. So, I
put that in there. That's it, man. Yeah,
that's it. I just put that in there.
That's it.
And another dish is I like these u
canelli white beans. I'll put the beans
in the pot. Again, five or six cups of
water. Then I can put vegetables. But I
like root vegetables. Why? Because
they're grounding. carrots and potatoes
and parsnips and you know grounding uh
peas.
I want earth element when I'm in the
grounding the phase
earth element healthy fat and earth
element. So I'll put the beans in there
and then I'll like I said I'll put these
root root vegetables in there. Put some
onion powder and some salt and yeah
garlic paste sometimes. Uh let that sit,
man. Just let that sit seven, eight
hours. The recipes are going to they're
they're in the post that I put. And I
that's how I eat when I'm in the
grounding phase.
Actually, I eat like that. These dinners
that I mentioned, I I eat like that also
when I'm um depends how hard core of a
detox I was on. You know, there's
different levels. There's fast, there's
dry fasting, you don't eat nothing,
don't even brush your teeth. You don't
want a water touching your your body.
All right, that's ultimate. I'm not
really a proponent of that. And then
there's water fasting. And then there's
you can say liquidarian. You just
fasting on juices. And then there's
futarian. And then there's, you know,
raw vegan. And you have all these
levels. But uh when I was in a more
sober state balanced of raw vegan, I
would still eat um sometimes this kind
of these dinner dishes that I'm telling
you about because they're just clean and
good and they're satisfying and they're
calming for the nervous system and they
don't take a lot of digestive energy
from you. You don't lose life force.
It's just great, man. Villagers know
what they're doing.
This modern society is killing people.
Yeah, but the lifespan's longer. Yeah,
right. How they're forcing these bodies
to stay stay alive. Pills and operations
and we're going to stimulate that body.
We just keep it alive no matter what.
No thanks, man. If I got diagnosed with
a terminal illness, probably anytime
from now until whenever, I think I'd
just let it play out. I'm not going to
be running to try to fix things and and
because anytime you get into some
artificial way of fixing something,
there's there's other repercussions that
come later that they don't trace back to
their fix fixing work.
So, I'm good. I'm good because I've
lived my life and satisfied
all the things I've wanted to do. That's
why that's why like I'm I'm good. That's
a whole another subject though. All
right. So, to tie up.
Oh, yeah. Simple slogan right here. If
it quiets you, eat it. If it activates
you, don't. Your nervous system does not
care. It does not care if something
looks nutritional on paper. Doesn't
care. It cares. Do I feel safe right
now? Do I feel like calm?
That's all it cares about. So listen to
that. If you have any kind of nervous
system disorder or uh mental health, you
know, issue or just extreme sensitivity,
use food to help ground you. Use it as a
medicine. It's the highest medicine,
much higher than any pill, any synthetic
pill.
There's no comparison. And these foods
are super strong.
If you find the right, you'll see if you
just eat the right foods for for what
the body wants, you'll see the effect.
You'll be like, damn,
foods are that powerful. And also
though, you you have to have a life
healthy lifestyle habits that complement
that. You can't go out and
just, you know, do stressful crazy
things that's going to amplify your
nervous system and then think, well, if
I eat this, you know, healthy diet, then
that will just buffer all that. No, it's
like everything has to make sense and be
synergized. So, I wrote a whole book on
that, uh, true health. It's on my
website. I wrote a book about conserving
your sexual energy. I think most of you
already know that. And now I wanted to
make this video that I can refer people
to who would benefit from this. And um
go see my post.
It should be up if you want the
specifics. Talk to you soon.
