Vocabulary

Action Steps for Getting Shredded on a Protective Diet

• Visualize Yourself at Goal
• Imagine your goal. Visualize it in detail. Write it in your Calendar of Achievements. Tell us about it so we can support you.
• Determine your daily actions then follow through precisely. When we hit our daily goals, we get a flood of dopamine and we want more, so we take more action. This is how we become our own inspiration and generate our own motivation.
• Don’t get distracted and stop before you get motivating results. You’ve done that so many times and it’s driving you crazy.
• 90% of your current mental and physical state is due to the microbial population you are hosting. Make them work for you.
• You can change everything about yourself, and eliminate fear of disease, by creating an environment for healthy microbes.

• Practice a Fulltime Protective Diet to Populate Healthy Microbes

• Transition to Day Fasting for Longevity, Disease Reversal, and a Shredded, Lean Physique

Fasting, the Microbiome, and Mental Health

• Dopamine Receptor Repair—dopamine causes a motivating, feel-good effect. At 24-hours of fasting, we experience dopamine receptor repair. If you are going through the struggle of getting off narcotics, or if you have flat-lined and lost your lust for life, fasting will help you feel joy again by repairing and multiplying the dopamine receptors in your brain.
• GABA Production—GABA is a feel-good, calming chemical that we need, especially the ladies going through the change of life (menopause). It comes from alcohol and that’s why many are drawn to alcohol. Fasting produces it naturally. The inclusion of alcohol will not produce a shredded body with outstanding fitness, and it will disrupt your sleep dramatically.
• Insulin Regulation and Neurodegeneration—constant insulin production is correlated with Alzheimer’s—now referred to as Type 3 Diabetes. Eating frequently causes constant insulin production. Fasting regulates blood sugars and insulin, allowing it to be used to clear debris from the brain. Diabetics are constantly producing insulin, but it is not received because the insulin receptors are clogged with fat. Eliminate dietary fats for improved blood flow to your brain and your eyes.
• Positive Outlook—depression is correlated with a microbiome that lacks diversity. Raw fruits and vegetables promote a diversity of healthy microbes, improving mental health. The notes on the bottom of Protective Diet Recipes detail information on the protective ingredients we can include to improve our mental health.

Fasting, the Microbiome, and Physical Health

• Solid Sleep—fatigue is the body’s response to insulin. Feasting after fasting leads to solid sleep. Dehydration leads to insomnia. If you can’t get back to sleep DO NOT pick up your phone. Make a list of the thoughts that are keeping you awake. Let them go, be at peace, get a drink, and go back to bed. If that doesn’t work, get up and do something on your list.
• Increased Human Growth Hormone (HGH)—a hormone produced by the pituitary gland in the brain that is basically the fountain of youth. We are flooded with it in our teenage years. It helps us maintain strong bones and increases muscle development. Production declines with increased age, excess body fat, and insulin release. Constant feedings cause insulin release, which stops HGH production. HGH peaks at the 13^th hour of fasting. Increase HGH production to reverse the hands of time. HGH supplements are not the same as what our body produces and can be dangerous.
• Max Muscle Development—workout to the point of total fatigue when HGH is high. Lift heavy and let the weight down slowly, that’s when muscle is building. Experience a 12-week transformation at any age, if you follow my lead on this.
• Autophagy—cellular recycling of damaged cells to make new, healthy cells—happens at the 17^th hour of fasting.
• Fearless Aging—we don’t have to experience the loss of independence resulting from weak bones and muscles. In Protective Diet Education we learn solid, scientifically proven information and a toolbox of skills and systems.

• Expect Discomfort at First, but Keep Your Eye on the Prize
• Believe in it. We are just three months away from someone who is unrecognizable physically and energetically.
• We need to keep our eye on the prize. Get excited about the goal. Visualize yourself at your goal every morning.
• Those microbes screaming are going to challenge you. They are going to make you feel comfortable with quitting. It’s going to be uncomfortable until we start producing neurotransmitters that reward us. That’s why I suggest a fulltime, full-force Protective Diet, not just little healthy changes. Lackluster results will cause you to go back to your old ways.

Cooking & Lifestyle Tips

• Remove the instant pot liner from the base before adding ingredients to prevent dumping directly into the base by mistake.
• If the instant pot pressure valve is forcefully letting off steam, even when it’s closed, you need replacement parts.
• Start a batch of Protective Sprouts once a week so you always have them handy as a raw garnish to expand your microbiome.

Encouragement

• I am here to help you. I am not the food police. I am Julie Marie, the girl that did it. I’m encouraging you because I want you to feel amazing and healed.
• In PD-Ed we have dramatic life-changing experiences because we are promoting a life-changing dietary approach.

“Small changes, to get a little healthier, will not

 produce the dramatic results you crave.”
