00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:13.090 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Thank you. Thank you. And actually thank you so much for having a platform

00:04:13.350 --> 00:04:24.809 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that appreciates broad spectrum well-being, because it's such a valuable, I think, resource for others, but also for myself, to be able to deliver a message

00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:30.390 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: on on a platform that actually embraces the concept. So thank you very much for.

00:04:30.390 --> 00:04:32.800 Linda Marsanico: New York City absolutely.

00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:42.530 Linda Marsanico: Could you tell me about your past and your journey which brings you to where you are today?

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:49.409 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Oh, gosh! Well, brace yourself because I'm in my late fifties now, so

00:04:50.120 --> 00:05:00.649 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: people will usually ask me, what made you become a dietician. That's kind of the crux of the question. And the way you've illustrated, I can kind of take us back even further. But nonetheless.

00:05:01.110 --> 00:05:08.720 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: what I thought was normal, was not. I was reading the Nutritional Almanac Book when I was 13.

00:05:09.750 --> 00:05:17.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Others are reading Vogue Magazine, and I'm reading the Nutritional almanac book. It's in my house because my parents were selling

00:05:17.540 --> 00:05:21.030 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: for a multi-level distributing company. They were selling vitamins.

00:05:21.890 --> 00:05:28.939 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So in my house the discussion about what does vitamin e do. What does Vitamin C do was kind of a normality.

00:05:29.260 --> 00:05:37.979 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I had shelves stocked with with books about the vitamins and vitamins themselves. So again, I'm surrounded by

00:05:38.190 --> 00:05:41.550 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: this. So it's kind of equipping me without my realization.

00:05:41.890 --> 00:05:51.532 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It wasn't as though I was setting out to do anything of that category. I actually started off as a bachelor of music in my career.

00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:56.549 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because I just naturally played piano by ear, and it just came easy to me.

00:05:56.820 --> 00:05:59.430 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so when I left high school I literally said.

00:05:59.500 --> 00:06:04.540 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: What will I do? That's easy. I don't have to work at it. That was my mindset back then.

00:06:05.080 --> 00:06:07.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Long story short, I

00:06:08.150 --> 00:06:13.499 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: you know it's sort of like you get knocked over this way, then that way, as life will sort of

00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:16.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: nudge you is probably a more gentle way of saying it.

00:06:17.090 --> 00:06:24.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I ended up in Australia with my backpack on my back, and I kind of heard a whisper, become a dietician.

00:06:25.210 --> 00:06:25.880 Linda Marsanico: Oh!

00:06:25.930 --> 00:06:29.339 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I was like, what is a dietician. I really didn't know what that was.

00:06:30.150 --> 00:06:33.289 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: In my exploration. I discover, you know.

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:37.740 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I kind of maybe. Don't mind this, because I knew what vitamins were.

00:06:37.800 --> 00:06:40.850 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So again, kind of my past was equipping me.

00:06:41.100 --> 00:06:44.489 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I do remember being in a biology class.

00:06:44.860 --> 00:06:50.830 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I'm not really what you'd call an academically high achiever at this point in my life.

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:56.180 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and being able to answer when the teacher was asking, You know what does vitamin EC. Do.

00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.869 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or Edu? And I'm answering, and my girlfriend behind me says.

00:07:00.970 --> 00:07:02.695 Linda Marsanico: How do you know this.

00:07:03.410 --> 00:07:06.430 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I looked at her and said, How do you not?

00:07:07.910 --> 00:07:14.220 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: There's breadcrumbs, and clearly I like to say, God doesn't

00:07:14.340 --> 00:07:19.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: called qualified. He qualifies the call, and I was being called.

00:07:19.570 --> 00:07:26.009 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And long story short, you know I'm trying to shorten it. I end up becoming a dietician.

00:07:26.270 --> 00:07:30.699 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But I already had entered alternative medicine prior to that, for about 10 years

00:07:31.340 --> 00:07:36.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: there was these jobs I would come up, and sort of by opportunity.

00:07:36.060 --> 00:07:41.909 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Would you be hiring here? Would you be willing to interview for a job here? And it was always alternative medicine.

00:07:42.580 --> 00:07:44.680 Linda Marsanico: What were you doing with alternative medicine?

00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:50.810 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I was helping those in reflexology.

00:07:50.990 --> 00:07:54.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: working in in places where they would sell the supplements.

00:07:54.860 --> 00:07:56.869 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I already had a bit of knowledge.

00:07:56.940 --> 00:08:02.319 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So it's kind of a variety of alternative medicine background, and I was very drawn to that.

00:08:02.390 --> 00:08:12.489 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: In fact, when I was starting off to become a dietitian, my plan was to become a Dietitian, who could be open minded to have both sides of the coin.

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:21.629 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so I I believe I still carry that with me, but once I was very much exposed to the science. I sort of fall in love with science as well.

00:08:21.760 --> 00:08:24.749 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I like to say nowadays that I I am the

00:08:24.830 --> 00:08:30.489 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: heart and science of wellness or energy, medicine, or whatever you want to term it, as but

00:08:30.610 --> 00:08:33.960 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I think is a great background, and working with

00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:39.779 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: medicine man or aboriginal cultures where there's a lot of plant-based

00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:47.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: healing. I have learned a lot from that background as well. So that's kind of alternative nontraditional. Whatever you want to term it, as

00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:56.520 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: it weaves in and out of my life, and really has helped serve people backgrounds. I will say, though.

00:08:56.980 --> 00:09:02.630 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that neither one of them are solving a lot of disease trends.

00:09:03.540 --> 00:09:09.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I have felt like in my own journey, in health, which I can expand upon

00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.380 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: like a child between 2 divorced parents.

00:09:13.500 --> 00:09:16.100 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: who are kind of pointing out each other's flaws.

00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:18.869 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and how one parent's may be better than the other.

00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.799 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I kind of felt like that between the 2 types of medicine.

00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:23.480 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:33.459 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: That they were not really speaking to one another. They were kind of pointing at each other, and that they weren't really solving the crux of it, the the real root of.

00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:34.100 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:35.480 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Challenges. So

00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:40.430 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that that's what led me to become also a life coach. To be honest, because I knew there were missing pieces.

00:09:40.830 --> 00:09:44.999 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: How's that for a long be of answering that question.

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:54.019 Linda Marsanico: A lot of discovery, a lot of work to figure things out. You can look back, and it may sound simple, but it really doesn't sound simple to me

00:09:54.900 --> 00:09:56.229 Linda Marsanico: at the time. Yeah, no.

00:09:56.230 --> 00:10:01.179 Linda Marsanico: you're looking and searching. What's the way? So I'm wondering what led you to write this book.

00:10:02.410 --> 00:10:07.279 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: When I so there was about a period about 10 years where I was

00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: in my own health journey. For lack of better words, I,

00:10:11.380 --> 00:10:22.350 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: through menopause through well, ended up with a lump on my pituitary gland and on my thyroid. And if you know anything about those which I'm sure you do. They're the motherships of Hormone.

00:10:22.350 --> 00:10:22.900 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:10:23.190 --> 00:10:24.349 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Hormone, everything.

00:10:24.950 --> 00:10:29.449 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So if you can imagine, if those are not functioning to their to their best.

00:10:29.540 --> 00:10:35.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: my body acted as though it was in menopause and pregnancy. At the same time.

00:10:35.210 --> 00:10:36.260 Linda Marsanico: Oh, wow!

00:10:36.260 --> 00:10:38.831 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I felt pretty exhausted. I felt

00:10:39.630 --> 00:10:44.929 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: like the energy that I generally had. It was definitely apparent to me something wasn't right.

00:10:45.370 --> 00:10:50.560 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I felt when I was helping my own clients with a message around health.

00:10:50.870 --> 00:10:54.090 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that I was kind of feeling like a fraud, that

00:10:54.240 --> 00:10:56.219 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: if I'm not feeling up to snuff.

00:10:56.520 --> 00:10:59.970 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I'm telling people how to do XY. And Z.

00:11:00.550 --> 00:11:06.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Who am I to be saying this? So it was really creating a lot of conviction, and

00:11:06.710 --> 00:11:17.840 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I didn't know I lacked the tools to understand the emotional side of emotional eating. Put it that way, tell you how to eat, but I didn't understand the emotional piece.

00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:22.870 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes, I knew that that was a gap, and I was experiencing my own emotional peace.

00:11:23.560 --> 00:11:28.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I thought actually I was going to retire

00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:33.580 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: financially. I was set up decently, and I thought, you know what it is just time to retire. I'm in my

00:11:33.940 --> 00:11:38.200 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I'm thinking, well, it's just around 52, something like that.

00:11:38.450 --> 00:11:40.710 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I thought, That's it.

00:11:40.740 --> 00:11:44.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But there was a huge whisper, or

00:11:44.812 --> 00:11:49.500 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Nudge that said, You're not ready for that there's still things you want to do.

00:11:49.970 --> 00:11:54.630 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Do you want to hit the pillow for the last time? Not having sought that out.

00:11:55.160 --> 00:11:58.759 Linda Marsanico: God wasn't letting you off the hook because you had contributions to make.

00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:03.930 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I? And the convictions were louder, but I actually had a powerful question asked

00:12:04.230 --> 00:12:06.900 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: of me that you can ask of yourselves.

00:12:07.723 --> 00:12:09.640 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And it was. Hey, Carrie.

00:12:10.070 --> 00:12:12.649 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where do you see yourself? 3 years from now?

00:12:12.850 --> 00:12:13.560 Linda Marsanico: Hmm.

00:12:13.560 --> 00:12:18.900 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And putting that question on, put the reality in my perspective in my visual.

00:12:19.170 --> 00:12:29.910 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that maybe I'd be cleaning house and cooking. And I thought. That's not very life giving to me, I mean, I don't mind those things, but it's not what I want to end on.

00:12:30.090 --> 00:12:35.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Nonetheless, I became a life coach through this and that nudge and and

00:12:36.220 --> 00:12:44.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: friends and serendipitous events, and the life coach piece. I literally at one event, sat at the edge of my seat.

00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:47.069 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: hearing her name is Mary Morrissey.

00:12:47.915 --> 00:12:52.809 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Discussing this formula about how we have results in our life.

00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:59.359 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You sort of said it earlier in my introduction, which is, our thoughts, create our feelings.

00:12:59.650 --> 00:13:06.259 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it's our feelings that have an influence on our actions. And it's our actions have an impact on our results.

00:13:06.870 --> 00:13:10.870 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and for whatever reason it was just said at a certain pitch we'll say

00:13:11.120 --> 00:13:21.209 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that I I kind of as if I was laying back, and then stood up in my seat. Even though I wasn't laid back. But I just felt the edge of my seat and went.

00:13:21.380 --> 00:13:23.050 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: That's where it is.

00:13:23.060 --> 00:13:27.249 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: There's more to the formula than what I had been operating at

00:13:27.540 --> 00:13:34.030 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where I had been taught from my curriculum. Both alternative and non-alternative was very much symptom focused.

00:13:34.340 --> 00:13:43.520 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yeah, here's your symptom. Here's your pill, here's your diet, whether it's a vitamin pill, or whether it was a medication pill. It was always this sort of treadmill.

00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:49.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I believe what I had experienced was burnout symptomized through these.

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.569 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: you know, pituitary gland and thyroid gland. Exhaustion. Nonetheless.

00:13:54.740 --> 00:13:55.120 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:13:55.120 --> 00:14:00.939 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I hadn't thought about pardon the pun that it was my thoughts that were perpetuating

00:14:00.950 --> 00:14:03.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: some of my own dis-ease that led to disease.

00:14:04.920 --> 00:14:10.490 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And okay, that meant that was happening for my clients as well. But I didn't understand the thought part

00:14:10.850 --> 00:14:18.200 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and self-sabotage, and why the emotional eating. In the 1st place, if you were having troubles in your relationships.

00:14:18.710 --> 00:14:23.009 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: we would want to talk about that. No, as opposed to just the food to.

00:14:23.010 --> 00:14:23.900 Linda Marsanico: Absolutely.

00:14:23.900 --> 00:14:24.750 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Right.

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:26.809 Linda Marsanico: You hold that thought. Excuse me.

00:14:27.420 --> 00:14:30.610 Linda Marsanico: can you hold that thought because we're ready for a commercial break?

00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:31.529 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Oh, you bet!

00:14:31.650 --> 00:14:37.669 Linda Marsanico: And when we come back I want to hear much more about thoughts and actions and feelings, so that we can understand ourselves better.

00:14:37.670 --> 00:14:39.209 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll unpack that, you bet.

00:16:55.600 --> 00:17:04.870 Linda Marsanico: Hello, everyone! Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona with my guest, Carrie Cassell, who was talking about thoughts and breath and hormones.

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:06.770 Linda Marsanico: Please continue.

00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.400 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Oh, absolutely!

00:17:08.730 --> 00:17:19.550 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so, as I mentioned this formula that I was so privileged to to come upon, which is now looking back. Quite a few gurus have talked about. Nonetheless.

00:17:20.390 --> 00:17:28.019 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll I'll expand upon it. But I'll tell you the way I heard it first, st which was, our thoughts lead to our feelings

00:17:28.369 --> 00:17:31.990 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: which then lead to our actions, and then our results.

00:17:32.620 --> 00:17:33.690 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Well.

00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:44.159 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that was just outstanding to me, because I really thought the feelings were all the dictators of things. I'm craving this. I'm feeling emotional. I'm feeling sad, therefore.

00:17:44.350 --> 00:17:48.239 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I hadn't thought about the precursor to that which is our thoughts.

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:55.760 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And then, because I have the background in science, and as you alluded to at the top of our session.

00:17:55.850 --> 00:17:59.880 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the parasympathetic system, the rest digest, create system.

00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:06.739 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or the fight flight, response. And these things were familiar to me in my study. But I hadn't brought it full circle.

00:18:07.420 --> 00:18:12.410 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and when I began to really unpack it, when you think

00:18:12.630 --> 00:18:16.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: we are breathing, and we're breathing constantly, and we're

00:18:16.210 --> 00:18:20.480 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: thinking constantly. I mean, it's 24, 7, our thinking as well.

00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:29.390 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You know how you could be in the shower fighting with your spouse, Major. I mean these events that haven't even occurred.

00:18:29.690 --> 00:18:34.070 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: At the very least. Whatever we're thinking is producing a breathing pattern.

00:18:34.730 --> 00:18:36.489 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: as I'm sure you're very aware of.

00:18:36.730 --> 00:18:43.249 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And we, without our awareness, we're quite often by default in the fight flight response.

00:18:43.490 --> 00:18:47.039 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: which is good in the sense that it's helped us over the years for

00:18:47.437 --> 00:19:00.259 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I haven't been eaten, neither were you. We. We were able to eat, and we're here because we've had such a fine-tuned, very well oiled machine, called the fight flight response. But within that response is cortisol and

00:19:00.270 --> 00:19:05.219 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: epinephrine, like things that are difficult on the system when it's so chronic.

00:19:05.440 --> 00:19:07.049 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Number one, number 2.

00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:10.070 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But we don't have if we don't have ways to release it.

00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:21.879 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so many of us are sitting at keyboards or driving and not really releasing it back in the day. The fight flight response, cortisol buildup was released in the flea

00:19:22.270 --> 00:19:26.170 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or the fight, or what have you nowadays? It kind of builds up nonetheless

00:19:26.260 --> 00:19:29.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: by breathing calmly. So if you were thinking about

00:19:30.070 --> 00:19:33.349 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: beaches while you're in the shower as an example.

00:19:33.540 --> 00:19:39.840 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: you're in calm breathing, and it switches over to the rest. Digest, create response.

00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:42.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: In other words, your brain is reading.

00:19:43.190 --> 00:19:49.469 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: your thoughts are reading how you're breathing, knowing then which pathways to switch on and off.

00:19:49.670 --> 00:19:50.150 Linda Marsanico: No.

00:19:50.150 --> 00:19:54.000 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I always like to say it's kind of like an Am or FM dial on your radio

00:19:54.480 --> 00:19:58.909 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where you're not on both. At the same time you can only be on one or the other.

00:19:59.630 --> 00:20:05.349 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Why does this matter? Well, by our thinking, and then our breathing.

00:20:05.640 --> 00:20:07.780 Linda Marsanico: However, you want to slice it or dice it.

00:20:07.890 --> 00:20:10.609 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We are affecting the chemistry in our body.

00:20:10.780 --> 00:20:15.580 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes, and because I'm a dietician, it leads a lot into

00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:25.770 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the feelings, emotional eating, and so forth. But even maybe more impactful is the rest digest, create response

00:20:25.930 --> 00:20:33.879 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: meaning. If we're breathing calmly, we're going to have a digestive system that's more superior to digesting our food.

00:20:33.990 --> 00:20:39.699 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: absorbing the nutrients, helping us feel fuller, faster, and on and on and on. This formula goes.

00:20:39.910 --> 00:20:45.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So the the whole formula that I'm talking about has become the domino diet.

00:20:46.330 --> 00:20:49.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that if you have your thinking in order, it'll domino to the rest.

00:20:49.920 --> 00:20:52.009 Linda Marsanico: Boom, boom, boom, boom, yeah.

00:20:52.010 --> 00:20:55.540 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You betcha. So how you think is, how you breathe.

00:20:55.560 --> 00:20:58.569 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: how you breathe, activates your hormones.

00:20:58.730 --> 00:21:01.789 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it's your hormones that dictate your feelings.

00:21:02.520 --> 00:21:10.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and then your feelings, then actions and results. So there's this domino effect that you don't even have to unpack. If you just get your thoughts in order

00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:14.050 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: by gratitude or being aware of

00:21:14.250 --> 00:21:18.819 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: your thermostatic setting. If you want to say of your thinking patterns, am I

00:21:18.830 --> 00:21:23.200 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: someone who holds a grudge? Am I someone who thinks anger easily.

00:21:23.490 --> 00:21:28.550 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Am I fighting in the shower a lot whatever. However, you catch your thinking.

00:21:28.670 --> 00:21:33.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it is so powerfully attached to our health.

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:36.250 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and also eating in and of itself. So

00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:41.099 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that's a long formula. But it's actually very condensed if you think about.

00:21:41.650 --> 00:21:45.439 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: hey? An attitude of gratitude does matter which you've probably.

00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:50.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I've seen some of your episodes or heard some of your episodes. I know that that's a that's a huge part of your message.

00:21:52.350 --> 00:21:59.349 Linda Marsanico: Thank you for yours, and I wanted to ask you about the role of spirituality in your life and in your work.

00:22:01.300 --> 00:22:04.930 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I've had a relationship

00:22:05.300 --> 00:22:22.679 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: like any relationship with an ebb and flow. You can have a love for a spouse, for instance, and there's an ebb and flow within that, so I would say, spirituality has ebbed in and out of my life in the way that I can tell when I'm in alignment with things when things are going

00:22:22.960 --> 00:22:32.899 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: along more with a better rhythm in life generally is because I'm plugged in, plugged into what I call spirituality and times when I was unplugged and

00:22:33.170 --> 00:22:39.839 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: things were a little off balance. And generally there's a very huge connection for me, mind, body, spirit.

00:22:39.890 --> 00:22:44.180 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I don't just say as words that are kind of common. Now.

00:22:44.530 --> 00:22:51.889 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: literally, we, I believe, our mind, body, and spirit, and it's when we are treating them like silos that we run into trouble.

00:22:52.210 --> 00:22:54.779 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but when we connect them all, including spirit

00:22:54.840 --> 00:22:57.549 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that were most in alignment with

00:22:57.580 --> 00:23:00.499 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: more energy, better balance in our health

00:23:00.640 --> 00:23:06.430 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: relationships. So spirituality is an absolute for me. It's a core value for me.

00:23:06.700 --> 00:23:12.029 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: How I come into my spirituality has varied over the years, and might be walking in nature.

00:23:12.130 --> 00:23:15.150 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where I plug in, and then I hear from

00:23:15.160 --> 00:23:17.970 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: parts of my intuition my higher self.

00:23:18.210 --> 00:23:24.220 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'm very strong believer in what I call God, Jesus, mother, Mary.

00:23:24.878 --> 00:23:31.150 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But I'm very also aware and open to the fact that nature might speak to somebody 1st

00:23:32.130 --> 00:23:33.150 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or music.

00:23:33.840 --> 00:23:39.800 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But I still believe what created all that, in the 1st place, is where I believe my spirituality exists

00:23:40.040 --> 00:23:42.170 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: absolutely, and what I call God.

00:23:43.380 --> 00:23:46.270 Linda Marsanico: When you had the nudge about being a dietician.

00:23:46.270 --> 00:23:46.890 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes.

00:23:46.890 --> 00:23:49.690 Linda Marsanico: Had you gotten similar nudges before that.

00:23:51.620 --> 00:23:55.080 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Oh, yes, I remember.

00:23:55.660 --> 00:24:00.949 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I don't remember the age. I do know that it was you know, before high school type age.

00:24:01.070 --> 00:24:03.180 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I was reading the Bible.

00:24:03.940 --> 00:24:07.170 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I thought, Well, this is not the easiest read.

00:24:07.500 --> 00:24:11.339 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but there were times where it was where I was able to

00:24:11.350 --> 00:24:14.179 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: kind of tap into the message, and I just remember saying.

00:24:14.360 --> 00:24:17.619 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: whatever I do, I want to be able to help families.

00:24:18.312 --> 00:24:21.200 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I wasn't sure. Am I going to be a music teacher.

00:24:21.310 --> 00:24:23.449 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or am I going to help them in their wellness?

00:24:23.580 --> 00:24:25.930 Linda Marsanico: I didn't have the word dietitian at the time.

00:24:25.930 --> 00:24:26.600 Linda Marsanico: Yes, I.

00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:31.320 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Just knew that there was this calling again to help with

00:24:31.360 --> 00:24:38.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: wellness. Now I didn't understand that really. What I was on the quest for is full spectrum, well-being.

00:24:39.120 --> 00:24:39.820 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:47.509 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And that is where we are rooted in our as our human experience, where we are most content

00:24:47.840 --> 00:24:53.509 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: in 4 particular areas, which is when we have our best experience of health and well-being.

00:24:53.710 --> 00:25:00.509 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but also our relationships, our love of ourselves, and also pets, but also our families. And

00:25:01.220 --> 00:25:03.790 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: a relationship is also with your spirituality.

00:25:04.180 --> 00:25:04.630 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:25:04.630 --> 00:25:13.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And the other is your vocation, or vocary, or purpose, or career, whatever you want to call it. Yes, that was huge for me. That was a major

00:25:13.270 --> 00:25:16.599 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: focal point for me, and the and the other one is

00:25:17.020 --> 00:25:21.469 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: money and and time like you can earn money, but you have the time to enjoy it.

00:25:22.270 --> 00:25:27.680 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And those 4 areas are equally important.

00:25:28.150 --> 00:25:32.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And the way I like to look at it honestly is like 4 tires on a vehicle.

00:25:32.400 --> 00:25:33.040 Linda Marsanico: Hmm.

00:25:33.040 --> 00:25:34.610 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You don't pick a favorite tire.

00:25:35.540 --> 00:25:38.900 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You need them all for to drive and balance

00:25:39.180 --> 00:25:44.299 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: when one area is flat. If I'm focusing too much on career, not enough on health.

00:25:44.620 --> 00:25:48.040 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Your vehicle's out of balance. If you're focusing

00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:51.470 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: too much on a relationship and not thinking about your own health.

00:25:52.020 --> 00:25:57.779 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: same be said. So we want balance, and sometimes we can be neglecting

00:25:57.810 --> 00:26:01.829 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: in an area and wonder what's going on. And I believe

00:26:02.600 --> 00:26:06.509 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: this out of balance is trying to get our attention to change things

00:26:07.190 --> 00:26:10.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and using the vehicle as another analogy.

00:26:10.800 --> 00:26:15.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It'll speak to us in warning signals, our vehicle, our our bodies.

00:26:15.770 --> 00:26:20.480 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: when you're feeling a symptom. So I just didn't have the wherewithal when I was having my symptoms

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:23.560 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that my body was trying to get. Get my attention.

00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:25.619 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Hey, Carrie, you're meant for more.

00:26:25.950 --> 00:26:27.829 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: hey, Carrie, there's a bigger message.

00:26:28.180 --> 00:26:28.910 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:26:28.910 --> 00:26:30.940 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I just was interpreting it

00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:34.340 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: with unskilled ears and and eyes, and so forth.

00:26:34.490 --> 00:26:40.449 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And now I, as a life coach, can also, you know, extract that in our conversations

00:26:40.740 --> 00:26:46.759 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and bring us into let's look at full spectrum well-being, and not just the number on a scale, for instance.

00:26:47.120 --> 00:26:52.620 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: which is very important, speaking of going past that into spirituality.

00:26:53.080 --> 00:26:56.559 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because there's a bigger message for all of us to deliver. That's why we're here.

00:26:57.910 --> 00:27:02.950 Linda Marsanico: And so you learned a lot from your own situation, with your pituitary.

00:27:02.950 --> 00:27:03.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes.

00:27:04.150 --> 00:27:05.110 Linda Marsanico: And you could.

00:27:05.460 --> 00:27:09.580 Linda Marsanico: You healed yourself and you were able to. You're able to help your your clients.

00:27:10.140 --> 00:27:12.831 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes, and my own spouse.

00:27:13.370 --> 00:27:14.650 Linda Marsanico: And what was the last thing.

00:27:15.070 --> 00:27:19.350 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: With with my own spouse. With my husband. He was

00:27:19.500 --> 00:27:25.110 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: very much in the symptom world. There was high cholesterol.

00:27:25.270 --> 00:27:35.910 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: higher sugars, gout, which is, if you haven't heard of gout. It is a very painful disease of the joints where crystals form, and

00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.020 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: often in the feet, for instance, and in his case that it was the feet, so he wasn't

00:27:40.310 --> 00:27:45.880 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: able to be as mobile and there's a lot to unpack with that, so

00:27:46.040 --> 00:27:50.818 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: we can move on to the next question, or we can dive into this one a bit more. But

00:27:51.070 --> 00:27:52.200 Linda Marsanico: Leave that to you.

00:27:53.060 --> 00:27:56.359 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Well for for me. I'll just say this

00:27:56.490 --> 00:28:00.680 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: as a dietician trying to support my husband and his symptoms.

00:28:01.330 --> 00:28:06.220 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: The eat. This don't do this and do that was not effective.

00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:13.959 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Speaking at the disease level was not effective. And it it really made me feel like I was going to lose him.

00:28:14.650 --> 00:28:17.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: How am I going to continue as a dietician if I can't even help him?

00:28:18.200 --> 00:28:22.739 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And the life coach hat is what saved the day

00:28:23.280 --> 00:28:26.269 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: by understanding what he was really after.

00:28:28.010 --> 00:28:32.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So because it takes a little bit, and I think we're going into a break here right away.

00:28:32.560 --> 00:28:39.980 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I wonder if, when we come past the break that I can really unpack that. But what I will say is inside. All of us

00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:46.400 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: is generally a dream, or a legacy or a burning desire goal that's not being expressed.

00:28:47.130 --> 00:28:53.410 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And when it's when it's not being expressed, it kind of, we'll say morphs or your issues

00:28:53.500 --> 00:28:57.990 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: lie in your tissues is another way that has been said before.

00:28:58.180 --> 00:29:02.550 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it'll get our attention in negative ways, because it's trying to get her attention.

00:29:03.280 --> 00:29:07.170 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because in alignment. There's nothing to get our attention about.

00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.649 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Things are going well, when you're experiencing discontent

00:29:11.950 --> 00:29:17.390 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or longing for something better like I was, I'm longing for a better way. I just don't know how.

00:29:17.820 --> 00:29:23.189 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Listen, there's messages in there, and that's what was for my husband, Stephen.

00:29:23.250 --> 00:29:27.670 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and has been for me and my clients. I'm able to speak his story out

00:29:27.960 --> 00:29:36.380 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because I have his full permission, but I mean I don't in terms of my clients. However, in my book there's many, many case studies and

00:29:36.490 --> 00:29:38.320 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: their names are protected. So

00:29:38.620 --> 00:29:45.729 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: there is an awful lot that I've discovered when you go to what the person's true heart's desire.

00:29:45.730 --> 00:29:46.330 Linda Marsanico: And.

00:29:46.470 --> 00:29:52.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We will have that become the real. I call it like a tow truck.

00:29:52.650 --> 00:29:57.269 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: When you really get that ignited, the health comes along for the journey.

00:29:57.950 --> 00:30:00.730 Linda Marsanico: Well, that's something we can come back to after break.

00:30:00.780 --> 00:30:10.250 Linda Marsanico: If you want to share more of your husband's story, I'm going to leave that to you. That sounds very exciting to me, but we're going to take a break now. We'll be back.

00:30:10.540 --> 00:30:11.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You bet!

00:32:16.870 --> 00:32:23.710 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona with my guest, Carrie Cassell. Now you were talking about

00:32:23.720 --> 00:32:27.890 Linda Marsanico: Heart's Desire and your husband Stephen's journey.

00:32:28.390 --> 00:32:33.554 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll let you continue alright. Yeah, he's brought me a lot of curriculum.

00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:40.860 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So yes, Steven, as I had alluded to, was having a lot of symptoms.

00:32:41.825 --> 00:32:42.650 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And

00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.190 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I just kind of knew the writing was on the wall, having been in the business long enough

00:32:47.440 --> 00:32:52.530 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and based on his age, because he happens to be a a lot younger than I am.

00:32:52.970 --> 00:32:54.190 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: In any case.

00:32:54.280 --> 00:33:03.449 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: nothing I was saying was really resonating for longer than a 2 week span. Yes, he would follow certain ways of eating, and it just would only last for so long.

00:33:04.420 --> 00:33:13.580 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And then, when I became a life coach, I got to tell you it was within 2 weeks of understanding this. Your thoughts produce your world.

00:33:13.840 --> 00:33:21.230 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Understanding it a little deeper, I began to ask him the question, you know what was really underneath him.

00:33:21.590 --> 00:33:28.970 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: stuffing? What was he stuffing down, and what was really trying to emerge? And what was the fear? And we unpacked that a little more.

00:33:29.130 --> 00:33:33.390 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it really came down to the fact something he had said over and over and over again.

00:33:33.600 --> 00:33:38.120 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but it was almost becoming like wallpaper, or like furniture in your house.

00:33:38.120 --> 00:33:38.560 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Thank you.

00:33:38.560 --> 00:33:42.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Wanted to be a singer. He wanted to be a singer specifically in a band.

00:33:43.190 --> 00:33:48.469 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Now I can see that my own subconscious had fear around that.

00:33:49.430 --> 00:33:50.650 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Because I thought.

00:33:50.820 --> 00:34:01.959 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Where does a band play? What's this environment going to be? This is not healthy, I mean, I would have my own thoughts about it, and if he's handing you this precious little baby to hold.

00:34:02.080 --> 00:34:05.250 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and the person doesn't seem trustworthy to hold it.

00:34:05.340 --> 00:34:09.330 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: They're probably not going to hand it over to you. And so there was a little bit of this.

00:34:09.400 --> 00:34:14.469 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: He's not revealing his full hand, and he's he's not even hearing it for his own self.

00:34:15.860 --> 00:34:23.269 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Fact is, once I began to realize I'm I'm either gonna lose him to this or that. Let's pick your poison.

00:34:24.940 --> 00:34:32.430 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I thought, no, no, no, there's there's there must be something underneath this that is the true truth with a capital T.

00:34:33.449 --> 00:34:38.099 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So we just said, Let's just get this underway within 2 weeks time.

00:34:38.730 --> 00:34:43.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So much to be able to speak on, and I can, if there was more time. But let's just at least say this.

00:34:43.980 --> 00:34:50.079 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I was able to get him on a stage with a band that became his band.

00:34:51.389 --> 00:34:51.859 Linda Marsanico: Wow!

00:34:52.000 --> 00:34:59.110 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I mean, we're talking years. He was having these symptoms. And then what happened was just astounding to me. He would come to me and he'd say, Okay.

00:34:59.190 --> 00:35:04.199 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I want to look really good on the stage with my black cowboy hat and my black outfit.

00:35:04.270 --> 00:35:11.400 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and you know he had put on a little bit of weight with his indulgences, and so because he liked food period.

00:35:12.080 --> 00:35:21.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I said, Well, gosh! It'd be the same thing I've been saying for years that that we would walk a bit more, and you eat healthier like, I suggested.

00:35:22.060 --> 00:35:25.680 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But you see he heard it at a very different pitch.

00:35:26.110 --> 00:35:31.130 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: it was incented by the burning desire. It was incented by the fact that he had this dream

00:35:31.540 --> 00:35:43.090 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: not at a symptom level, which is very negative. You might die if you don't do this, you know it's very negative sounding so on behalf of him sounding better looking better.

00:35:43.570 --> 00:35:48.260 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: He's still to this day. I think he's 5 years into the journey of being in a band.

00:35:49.650 --> 00:35:58.869 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: is still without gout and has normalized his cholesterol levels and blood pressure and all the things that was really leading to a lot of heart disease.

00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:01.810 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because he's expressing from his heart.

00:36:02.240 --> 00:36:07.390 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And he was an angrier person. When we reflect back, we can really see it better.

00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:13.870 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And now he's very vulnerable. There's shows where he's crying, so

00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:20.469 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: they say, when your heart opens, your eyes leak, and so there's something to the effect that's happening in his life work.

00:36:20.660 --> 00:36:26.409 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: He's expressing his true self, his authenticity, and that became the cure.

00:36:27.890 --> 00:36:29.400 Linda Marsanico: Wonderful! What a wonderful story!

00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:39.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: When we're operating from that level of thinking when we're burning desire heading in the direction of our dreams, our health comes for the journey to give us the energy for it.

00:36:39.890 --> 00:36:44.509 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I believe that's what happens when we begin to hit our fifties, maybe slightly sooner than that.

00:36:44.700 --> 00:36:48.929 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that the intent to go to the gym for 2 h in a day

00:36:49.180 --> 00:36:55.679 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: lessons, because we want to do more with our life and our health is there to help us with that.

00:36:56.570 --> 00:36:58.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It's kind of makes a bit of a pivot

00:36:59.299 --> 00:37:03.319 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and anyway, that's not for everyone, but it is for a large majority.

00:37:04.350 --> 00:37:11.830 Linda Marsanico: Very interesting and how wonderful a beginning, ending and continuing of Stephen's journey.

00:37:11.830 --> 00:37:14.019 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It is. Thank you for that. Yes.

00:37:16.370 --> 00:37:21.960 Linda Marsanico: You talk about 4 hidden barriers to success.

00:37:22.560 --> 00:37:22.960 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Hmm.

00:37:23.620 --> 00:37:24.739 Linda Marsanico: You talk about that.

00:37:25.640 --> 00:37:37.849 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yeah. And so I'm not the only one that has discussed these particular ones, or at least the way that they've been coined. And I have to give credit to Gay Hendricks, his, some of his literature.

00:37:37.860 --> 00:37:39.770 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Mary Morrissey as well.

00:37:39.980 --> 00:37:49.660 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and Matt Boggs there's I mean, a collection of people I've gathered from, and it turns out, and again in our DNA we have our fight flight response, but also in our DNA.

00:37:49.720 --> 00:37:51.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We we wanted to fit in

00:37:52.020 --> 00:37:55.339 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: to be cast out of the herd was very risky.

00:37:55.500 --> 00:37:56.050 Linda Marsanico: We call.

00:37:56.050 --> 00:37:58.480 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We were probably not going to survive.

00:37:58.610 --> 00:38:05.609 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so it still perpetuates in our modern world, where we might fear abandonment.

00:38:05.870 --> 00:38:08.740 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because we certainly don't want to be abandoned. We might be.

00:38:08.760 --> 00:38:12.399 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: you know, the the weak link, and somebody that's going to be out in the cold.

00:38:13.130 --> 00:38:16.350 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll just say what they are first, st and then I can expand upon them.

00:38:16.640 --> 00:38:19.720 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So the fear of abandonment, the fear of

00:38:19.790 --> 00:38:24.299 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: failure, or being fundamentally flawed like there's something wrong with us.

00:38:24.820 --> 00:38:30.280 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: The fear of the burden of success and the fear about shining.

00:38:30.710 --> 00:38:33.189 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Well, how does that? Well, the 1st one's obvious.

00:38:33.400 --> 00:38:36.239 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the 1st one of abandonment I've just alluded to, which is

00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:43.099 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: well, if let's say, if I join a marathon, if I'm going to decide to make that my next endeavor.

00:38:43.560 --> 00:38:52.710 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: what about wing Wednesdays with my friends, because I won't be able to participate in that. Will I be accepted. Still, like it'll play out, and very unusual yet.

00:38:52.710 --> 00:38:53.080 Linda Marsanico: You're.

00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:55.539 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Acting ways. We don't want to be abandoned.

00:38:56.440 --> 00:38:59.270 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the fear of being fundamentally flawed, or

00:38:59.300 --> 00:39:05.259 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that that's probably very also common sense in the way that well, I failed before. I don't want to fall on my face.

00:39:05.380 --> 00:39:11.730 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: What if I tell everybody I'm going to do this? And then I don't. This whole fear of failure. Really, at the end of the day

00:39:12.110 --> 00:39:19.459 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the fear of burden of success is one that you might not recognize as easily. But it'd be something like this.

00:39:19.820 --> 00:39:26.489 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: If I get to be so successful expanding my company, I'd have to hire more people, and that's going to be more stressful.

00:39:26.860 --> 00:39:32.169 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Or if I win the dream home, I'll have to pay more taxes, and I'm going to have a bigger home to clean

00:39:32.290 --> 00:39:35.209 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: like it'll come out in these really UN.

00:39:35.930 --> 00:39:42.999 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Well, really, because if I had more money because I'm rising in my business, I probably have more people to help me manage it.

00:39:43.460 --> 00:39:55.439 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or if I win the dream home. Gosh! Almighty! I could probably handle somebody cleaning my house, too, like hiring them. Anyway, it comes in subtle ways, but they're very impacting and the fear of outshining.

00:39:57.080 --> 00:40:01.980 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll give you an example that was in my life. So I remember my father, who

00:40:02.030 --> 00:40:04.398 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: graduated school, but didn't

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:12.059 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: go on to have his career in in a university, I mean, I'm part of the reason they they had me at a very young age. We'll put it that way.

00:40:12.680 --> 00:40:19.130 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I remember him being in his work environment and coming home and saying the suits were here today.

00:40:19.380 --> 00:40:22.049 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and they changed XY and Z.

00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:27.890 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: The suits were the university people, the educated people. This was the term he used.

00:40:28.170 --> 00:40:30.949 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and when I went off to university

00:40:30.980 --> 00:40:40.799 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I didn't want to be a suits person. I didn't want to be one of those people, so I remember when I would come home for visits, and they would ask, How are you doing in the University? I would

00:40:40.890 --> 00:40:42.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: dim it down.

00:40:42.620 --> 00:40:48.089 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I didn't want to outshine. I didn't want my father to perceive I was one of those.

00:40:48.370 --> 00:40:59.869 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Why would dim it down? And this is many of us. Maybe we don't want to earn more money than our spouse or our father did, because of what are they going to think? So we will dim our light.

00:41:00.260 --> 00:41:02.300 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes, to fit in the herd

00:41:02.830 --> 00:41:06.669 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: at the end of the day, out of all those 4 hidden barriers

00:41:07.220 --> 00:41:09.370 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: underneath. All of that is fear.

00:41:10.060 --> 00:41:14.220 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Flight response. And it's and it's trying to keep you comfortable.

00:41:15.070 --> 00:41:21.399 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I'm sure you've heard the acronym for fear there's many, many, but one is, it's false evidence appearing real.

00:41:21.640 --> 00:41:22.100 Linda Marsanico: Hmm.

00:41:22.100 --> 00:41:30.499 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We're not running from mammoths anymore. We are in shelters. Most of us have food if we're especially listening to devices or looking at devices.

00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:35.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so that we really want to get a handle on

00:41:35.150 --> 00:41:40.960 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that. Fear is not going to go away, but we can shine a light on it like darkness we can just shine a light.

00:41:41.350 --> 00:41:42.200 Linda Marsanico: Very much.

00:41:42.730 --> 00:41:47.849 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And in my case, learning to understand that fear is along for the ride.

00:41:48.030 --> 00:41:50.949 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: we're not gonna get rid of it when we're growing.

00:41:51.260 --> 00:41:56.209 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and that fear can be beside us in the passenger seat or in the rear kick fear to the rear.

00:41:57.040 --> 00:42:03.380 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because otherwise what'll happen is it'll morph. So this

00:42:03.430 --> 00:42:09.450 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: idea of maybe writing a book comes to our mind, fear comes along.

00:42:09.940 --> 00:42:12.789 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and these 4 hidden barriers being part of that

00:42:13.870 --> 00:42:21.669 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: when we begin to understand. Oh, that's normal. It's just trying to keep me comfortable. Great, good understanding, because what's next after that is.

00:42:21.800 --> 00:42:30.289 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: if we don't understand that it'll morph into emotional eating emotional drinking, emotional, spending, emotional, scrolling

00:42:30.400 --> 00:42:32.650 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the fight flight freeze.

00:42:32.770 --> 00:42:34.380 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We're checking out a life.

00:42:34.650 --> 00:42:39.919 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It's causing us to go into delay instead of moving in the direction of what we're really here for.

00:42:40.440 --> 00:42:44.870 Linda Marsanico: Yes, fear is, fear needs to be addressed because it grows unaddressed.

00:42:45.080 --> 00:42:47.370 Linda Marsanico: So we have about 2 min to break.

00:42:47.510 --> 00:42:51.820 Linda Marsanico: I wanted to ask you

00:42:52.020 --> 00:43:00.710 Linda Marsanico: about the domino diet formula. We could talk a little bit about it, and then continue after break if we need to. But what is the formula.

00:43:01.390 --> 00:43:08.600 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So the formula is something I've been unpacking throughout subtly and sometimes right up front, which is your thoughts

00:43:09.100 --> 00:43:14.039 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: lead to how you breathe, and your breathing activates hormones.

00:43:14.550 --> 00:43:22.220 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Either the parasympathetic or the sympathetic, as we've been discussing, and the hormones dictate the feelings.

00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:23.879 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: not the other way around.

00:43:24.150 --> 00:43:34.159 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it's the feelings that create our actions or impact our actions or our lack of actions and our results. So that's the the domino diet formula, the word diet.

00:43:34.870 --> 00:43:38.239 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I gotta say how this came to me, by the way, was in a dream.

00:43:38.420 --> 00:43:38.910 Linda Marsanico: Oh!

00:43:38.910 --> 00:43:44.499 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Formula and the dominoes, and I could see words on these dominoes, nonetheless.

00:43:44.810 --> 00:43:50.840 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I heard the domino diet. And I, I said, I am not putting the word diet on the cover of my book.

00:43:51.300 --> 00:43:54.560 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Heck to the no, because that's a 4 letter word most people do not like.

00:43:56.070 --> 00:44:02.330 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And I thought, Oh! And then I really sat with it the next day, and I plugged in.

00:44:02.370 --> 00:44:05.970 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: had a chat with God, and said, What is this all about.

00:44:06.140 --> 00:44:08.899 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and I was led to. Hey, Carrie, don't you remember?

00:44:08.940 --> 00:44:13.660 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It's from the true meaning of the word diet, from the Greek word dieta.

00:44:14.090 --> 00:44:16.660 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It means a way of life bring back

00:44:16.820 --> 00:44:19.370 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the true meaning of the word diet as a way of life.

00:44:20.200 --> 00:44:23.010 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so, hey, that's why it's on the cover.

00:44:23.580 --> 00:44:36.110 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and that's been become my mission to talk about all of this. Besides, just the diet alone, because it is about a way of life, your relationships, your health, your time, money, freedom, and your career and purpose.

00:44:36.110 --> 00:44:39.620 Linda Marsanico: Yes, talking about getting information from dreams.

00:44:39.630 --> 00:44:43.550 Linda Marsanico: Niels Bohr, the renowned physicist, dreamed of the atom.

00:44:43.850 --> 00:44:50.929 Linda Marsanico: He had no words to describe it, and he created that. And I think that that's universe's way of jump-starting us.

00:44:51.160 --> 00:44:54.719 Linda Marsanico: But we'll talk some more about your book when we come back.

00:44:55.140 --> 00:44:56.780 Linda Marsanico: Awesome time to take a break.

00:47:04.690 --> 00:47:10.200 Linda Marsanico: Welcome back to the A. Train to Sedona with my guest, Carrie Cassell.

00:47:11.210 --> 00:47:15.840 Linda Marsanico: I wanted to ask you about your craving checklist.

00:47:16.330 --> 00:47:22.690 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Oh, yeah, I love talking about food period.

00:47:22.850 --> 00:47:28.859 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but I really I love as you might have kind of heard a theme. I go underneath, like what's underneath that.

00:47:29.300 --> 00:47:38.360 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And when people say they have cravings, it's not to be berated, I actually think there's a lot of messages from from our cravings.

00:47:38.890 --> 00:47:41.520 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and one of them might be craving salt.

00:47:41.710 --> 00:47:50.370 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Well, when we're craving salt, it's possible that we are low in electrolytes, or we're dehydrated, or both.

00:47:51.453 --> 00:47:56.129 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I mean, there's more to it. But that's 1 aspect. If we're craving sugar

00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:04.360 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: well, it could be that we are giving giving long gaps of our food intake like not enough fuel going on board.

00:48:05.050 --> 00:48:07.790 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Really, at the end of the day, our whole

00:48:07.850 --> 00:48:13.780 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: body, our brain system, for instance, is on protection mode for our core.

00:48:14.090 --> 00:48:21.309 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Our heart is always beating. We're breathing this 24, 7 is going on, and we're not always fueling it.

00:48:21.940 --> 00:48:30.440 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So the brain is very, very wise and being able to. Okay. Well, if she's not going to listen to this message, I'm going to send off the troops to give her this message.

00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:34.289 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and okay, the troops might be saying, Hey, I need sugar.

00:48:34.790 --> 00:48:49.210 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and, generally speaking, nowadays we're not just grabbing the apple. We might be grabbing the Danish, and lo and behold, we end up creating some kind of like addiction cycles. Nonetheless, I like to unpack that more. There might be gaps in our eating.

00:48:49.540 --> 00:48:53.140 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: What about. If we're craving chocolate. Yep, it's different than sugar.

00:48:54.330 --> 00:48:59.930 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It can be hormonal imbalance that we're experiencing when we're craving chocolate.

00:49:00.060 --> 00:49:04.170 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We might have locked sleep and we're looking for serotonin.

00:49:04.680 --> 00:49:07.760 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We might be looking for serotonin because we're looking for connection.

00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:14.570 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so sometimes I'll kind of ask better questions. Powerful questions are really what we're

00:49:14.870 --> 00:49:17.260 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: gonna have better answers from.

00:49:17.460 --> 00:49:17.910 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:49:17.910 --> 00:49:23.380 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And it might be, you know, are you missing something? And and generally that can be a good part of it.

00:49:23.390 --> 00:49:29.070 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But the other is, you might be low in nutrition period, a certain vitamin, a mineral.

00:49:29.260 --> 00:49:36.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and it's been wonderful to be able to say there's more to it than just the fact that you feel flawed because you're craving an item

00:49:37.140 --> 00:49:39.629 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and so self-sabotaging.

00:49:39.900 --> 00:49:46.049 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'll just go out on a limb and say this as well. Some diets that others are following are very unhealthy.

00:49:46.230 --> 00:49:51.410 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and that our body will go craving things to help rectify that.

00:49:51.590 --> 00:49:55.069 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And in that case sabotage is a very good thing.

00:49:55.640 --> 00:49:56.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: In other words.

00:49:57.290 --> 00:50:04.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: thank goodness that you were sabotaged back into the ordinary way of eating, so that you could get some of those nutritional

00:50:04.450 --> 00:50:07.060 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: aspects back in your life that we're going to be negated

00:50:07.140 --> 00:50:13.299 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: because I have seen so many malnourished situations come out of our modern day society.

00:50:13.990 --> 00:50:20.080 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so you can be overnourished in some things and undernourished, and others, and that craving checklist has really helped me

00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:22.060 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: to help others.

00:50:22.060 --> 00:50:27.440 Linda Marsanico: And sometimes, when people are on an unhealthy diet, after a while they stop

00:50:27.770 --> 00:50:29.719 Linda Marsanico: regimen, they gain the weight back.

00:50:29.870 --> 00:50:32.309 Linda Marsanico: and it really needs to be a lifestyle.

00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:34.540 Linda Marsanico: you know, going back to the Greek word.

00:50:34.720 --> 00:50:38.260 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Lifestyle. If it's going to be sustainable.

00:50:38.840 --> 00:50:40.859 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: 100%, and if we don't

00:50:41.700 --> 00:50:52.620 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: understand our mindset around it, then we will gravitate to our old ways. There's actually a book that's sitting right beside me by Maxwell Maltz, who

00:50:53.070 --> 00:50:59.919 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: like a psychologist from way back. But it's called the magic power of self, image psychology.

00:51:00.260 --> 00:51:02.979 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And there's a quote in there, I just love.

00:51:03.090 --> 00:51:07.939 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: which is, you cannot outperform your own self-image

00:51:08.910 --> 00:51:14.020 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and understanding that our own thoughts of worthiness and

00:51:14.320 --> 00:51:20.710 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: self-sabotage as I've been alluding to are so important to understand. At the root level. Again, the thought level.

00:51:20.780 --> 00:51:25.080 Linda Marsanico: Because we'll find these sabotage patterns just simply because we don't feel we're worthy.

00:51:25.370 --> 00:51:27.429 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Of having a healthy lifestyle.

00:51:29.750 --> 00:51:31.530 Linda Marsanico: Very complex, isn't it?

00:51:31.530 --> 00:51:33.379 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It is. Yeah, we are. We're just making.

00:51:33.380 --> 00:51:34.400 Linda Marsanico: We are.

00:51:35.410 --> 00:51:36.969 Linda Marsanico: Yes, we are indeed.

00:51:37.110 --> 00:51:38.030 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes.

00:51:38.200 --> 00:51:47.969 Linda Marsanico: Now, is there a particular aspect that you would like to talk about regarding your book? I have questions, but that you yeah, we discussed, but I wanted to leave.

00:51:47.970 --> 00:51:52.709 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: That generally will come up as a chapter in my book that I I called

00:51:52.740 --> 00:51:56.320 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: What Do Fruits and Vegetables and Forgiveness have in common

00:51:56.910 --> 00:52:01.440 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and a lot of people, are they? They feel intrigued by that subchapter title.

00:52:01.630 --> 00:52:04.000 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so I'd like to just kind of say that

00:52:04.530 --> 00:52:08.519 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: our way of being in life. If we are kind of

00:52:08.580 --> 00:52:12.279 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: set to anger a bit easier, or holding grudges, or

00:52:12.420 --> 00:52:18.120 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I mean, who hasn't had some sort of pain or hurt in their lives. Generally speaking, we've we've either hurt someone

00:52:18.480 --> 00:52:22.800 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: or we have been hurt. And there's kind of these grudges that we carry.

00:52:22.950 --> 00:52:26.109 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and they have become a huge part of emotional eating.

00:52:26.550 --> 00:52:29.169 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So when we understand forgiveness more.

00:52:29.450 --> 00:52:34.110 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: then we can understand our emotional eating patterns more. So it's really important to

00:52:34.190 --> 00:52:40.940 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: unpack our journey as human beings, the mind, body, and soul, are united.

00:52:41.280 --> 00:52:48.240 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and with that I generally will try to help us understand over the decades, depending how many decades you've been

00:52:48.300 --> 00:52:50.739 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: given the privilege of being on the planet.

00:52:51.350 --> 00:52:53.520 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that in our 1st 10 years

00:52:53.570 --> 00:52:59.110 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: we're usually living very much in our imagination, kind of in this wonderful world

00:52:59.170 --> 00:53:09.310 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where there's not a lot of negative thinking, as a rule. And then, in the next decade, we're very much into schooling and our smarts. We're living more in the mind.

00:53:09.470 --> 00:53:14.660 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: generally speaking, then, there's some aspects in life where maybe it's more spiritual

00:53:14.700 --> 00:53:18.800 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: certainly was for me more into my forties and upwards.

00:53:19.470 --> 00:53:23.260 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so these 3 almost separate entities

00:53:23.500 --> 00:53:28.319 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: of mind, body, spirit, living in various parts of my life, and I speak for many.

00:53:28.670 --> 00:53:35.099 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: bringing them together in in a unity, I think, had been the missing piece for a lot of individuals.

00:53:35.320 --> 00:53:43.750 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: When we went. When we have troubles with our body, we'll go to see one professional. When we have troubles with our mind, we see another professional or spirituality

00:53:44.110 --> 00:53:44.930 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: professional.

00:53:45.240 --> 00:53:53.499 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: but having it be in one program or one entity is a unique experience, and I think that might be a missing link.

00:53:53.950 --> 00:53:56.950 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so that's been my next level of my mission.

00:53:57.070 --> 00:54:00.659 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: having my book become a course, having it become

00:54:01.064 --> 00:54:04.909 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: where we're not just taking it as a 1 program

00:54:05.170 --> 00:54:09.260 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that you do. In 2 weeks you come to the end of that as a diet would.

00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:13.829 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and then that's it. No, no, no! We want to unpack all of us.

00:54:13.860 --> 00:54:17.449 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and looking at casting a kind glance at our life

00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:22.000 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: versus all the judgment that might be otherwise there, and the forgiveness that goes with that.

00:54:22.620 --> 00:54:24.090 Linda Marsanico: Forgiveness is so important.

00:54:24.090 --> 00:54:26.920 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: It is yes, else.

00:54:26.920 --> 00:54:30.710 Linda Marsanico: Oh, oh, definitely! It has to come from self first, st and then we can give it out.

00:54:30.850 --> 00:54:33.850 Linda Marsanico: How long do you see your course taking?

00:54:34.380 --> 00:54:35.649 Linda Marsanico: If someone involved.

00:54:35.650 --> 00:54:41.270 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Few courses, and I, I cater to the where you're at in in your stage of change.

00:54:41.880 --> 00:54:48.620 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Probably the most popular one is one that's I like a 4 month journey for most healing.

00:54:49.100 --> 00:54:50.190 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Number one.

00:54:50.420 --> 00:54:54.070 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yes, we are generating new cells every day.

00:54:54.910 --> 00:54:57.899 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Using the red blood cells as a marker of our journey.

00:54:57.950 --> 00:55:01.369 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Our red blood cells last 120 days, 4 months.

00:55:01.780 --> 00:55:04.750 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so when there's a diagnosis, for instance.

00:55:05.010 --> 00:55:11.669 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: until that 4 month journey has lapsed, do we see the new red blood cells operating at a whole new level?

00:55:12.290 --> 00:55:15.259 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so I like to have a target of

00:55:15.430 --> 00:55:20.849 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: what can that next level of red blood cells be introduced to like more hydration.

00:55:20.860 --> 00:55:25.409 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: better fruits and vegetable intake more walking, more serotonin.

00:55:25.560 --> 00:55:28.370 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and that next batch of red blood cells

00:55:28.770 --> 00:55:35.320 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: is going to be our red blood cells communicate everywhere in our body cell to cell organ to organ.

00:55:35.860 --> 00:55:38.559 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: We can heal from the inside out.

00:55:39.790 --> 00:55:42.639 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: So 4 months, I think, is an ideal.

00:55:42.850 --> 00:55:48.809 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: But there are people that really do well with just start with a 30 day, 21 day

00:55:49.140 --> 00:55:51.510 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so that they can get the train on the trucks.

00:55:53.864 --> 00:56:01.739 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: You talk about the 120 day renewal? Is that the course? The 4 4 month course that.

00:56:01.900 --> 00:56:03.960 Linda Marsanico: Is the ultimate course that you give.

00:56:04.130 --> 00:56:12.179 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Yeah, I that is the sweet spot. I mean, there are individuals who work with me for a year or more, because that's

00:56:12.520 --> 00:56:21.329 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: their journey. I mean, put it this way. Once you have new red blood cells, how about what those next ones can be exposed to as well? Onward we go

00:56:21.871 --> 00:56:25.660 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: so I do think 4 months is a nice sort of a minimum.

00:56:25.890 --> 00:56:26.610 Linda Marsanico: Yes.

00:56:26.850 --> 00:56:32.029 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And it gets. Some people are very equipped with great knowledge. They just need to fine tune it

00:56:32.090 --> 00:56:33.530 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: and polish the stone.

00:56:33.840 --> 00:56:35.889 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: 4 months, I think is a good fair

00:56:36.430 --> 00:56:43.090 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: give it to yourself if you've never tried that before, but not too short.

00:56:43.300 --> 00:56:46.279 Linda Marsanico: Yes, create new habits and new patterns in your life.

00:56:47.750 --> 00:56:49.739 Linda Marsanico: So how can people reach you.

00:56:51.260 --> 00:56:59.440 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Most people find me. By the good old Google world. The domino diet is easy to remember. I have discovered

00:56:59.860 --> 00:57:07.510 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: that's 1 way. Others are googling for Carrie Castle. And you're gonna see my life coaching programs, my courses.

00:57:07.914 --> 00:57:12.179 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: I'm sure that links and and things like that are also in most of

00:57:12.240 --> 00:57:15.019 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: the podcast that I do. So. I'm sure that's the case here, too.

00:57:16.049 --> 00:57:19.329 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Often, what I'm doing is offering incentives like

00:57:19.420 --> 00:57:25.529 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: free gifts, like the craving checklist is one that I often give out as a free gift if you're interested in that.

00:57:25.790 --> 00:57:30.809 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And so sometimes there, there's QR codes and so forth, that are part of that document that you can find me.

00:57:31.850 --> 00:57:34.169 Linda Marsanico: Well, thank you for being with me today.

00:57:34.490 --> 00:57:39.300 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Absolutely my pleasure, my pleasure. Anytime I get to

00:57:39.310 --> 00:57:42.930 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: speak. A broader message on health is a win-win for me as well.

00:57:43.700 --> 00:57:45.920 Linda Marsanico: So we're on the same page with that.

00:57:46.390 --> 00:57:46.960 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: Good.

00:57:47.790 --> 00:57:53.799 Linda Marsanico: So I wanted to say that next week my guest is Jacob Cooper, who has had an nde.

00:57:54.020 --> 00:57:59.700 Linda Marsanico: and he's the author of several books, and he'll have a lot a lot of interesting information to share.

00:58:01.310 --> 00:58:06.990 Linda Marsanico: So parting is such sweet sorrow. It is time to break for the show.

00:58:07.560 --> 00:58:09.399 Linda Marsanico: Have a wonderful day. Everyone.

00:58:09.530 --> 00:58:11.839 Karie Cassell Life Coach/Dietitian: And thanks for your support. Tech person.
