Intro / Opening

Tracy Harmoosh, welcome to Biohack It. I was so excited to bring you on because I was researching you and I've been following you for a while. And I was like, this is probably one of the fittest Middle Eastern women I found online. You inspired me so much that I did a gym workout this morning because you have such great arms. I was like, I have to go on prep to this show.

So I'm going to give a little intro to my audience for you. You were an investment banker turned entrepreneur and wellness advocate. You're also the founder and CEO of Untraceable, a leading wellness company as well as a co-founder of the UAE born brand. mama bozas how did you go from being an investment banker to ending up in wellness wow that's a that's a story and a half but i'll make it short for you um listen i mean we all start in careers that we don't necessarily first of all thank you

Transition from Investment Banking to Wellness

for hosting me and thank you for your kind words. We all start in careers that we don't necessarily choose for the right reasons but it does make sense sometimes at the right period. in your life so back then my ego spoke louder than anything else proving that i could be in a difficult industry that i can be the only girl on the desk and i would be able to make it the money

A lot of those reasons were big reasons for me in my 20s. And I had the stamina to hustle, to work hard, to do the long hours in investment banking. But as I started pushing late 20s, 30s, I realized like... I needed to create something that I felt was more of service, more impact. And as I started to be introspective and realizing what's really important, what I need, you know.

the power of you know growing and building and self-optimizing I started realizing that I wanted to kind of focus on myself and as you probably know I mean when you try to solve a problem for yourself you realize there's a lot of people that would also need it as well So then I started transitioning more and more into in service of in the wellness space with other people. You spoke about having stamina and I really want to touch upon that. Women as we age from our 20s to 30s to 40s.

Managing Stress Through the Decades

Our tolerance for stress dramatically changes and what we're able to put ourselves through. Can we talk about how that shifted for you? And what advice do you have for women listening who might be going through the same thing? I think in many ways, there's a... There's a beauty of how you can handle stress in your 20s, but there's also another beauty of how you can handle stress later in life. But there's cons to both as well. So in your 20s, you can get beat up more.

you could probably pick yourself up you'll probably tolerate more things that you probably won't tolerate later on but i think you get better at managing your reaction to stress

As you move into 30s and 40s, you have much more boundaries. There are things you won't tolerate. You know yourself. You know what can trigger you and what can't. And you know how to set boundaries for people. So if you're really... again in tune with yourself you get better at managing stress later on so you will avoid it

where unnecessary and then you will take on the load and know how to tackle them with resilience when necessary. I think that is very key but a lot of people won't get there if they're still looped and not understanding themselves if they're not self-aware. That's so important. You can't transition from taking on anything and everything to that unless you're really self-aware. I think...

Picking up on that also, when we're in our 20s and 30s, a lot of us women, especially when we're living more in our masculine energy, we have this attitude that we can take on the world. We can do it all. When we start shifting and our hormones also start shifting, our...

And susceptibility to stress also reduces a little bit. So we have stronger boundaries, but also our hormones are not there to support us in the same capacity. So for me personally, when I started doing this shift, and my shift didn't happen until... actually really recently where i realized hey i'm losing sleep over things that i don't need to be losing sleep over there are things that are out of my control and i'm giving my power away to things that don't even deserve it

For what? So that's why I say the boundaries is so important because you're so right. My energy means so much to me right now. I've never really felt so in tune to how important my energy is that if anyone is like a vampire of my energy.

The Importance of Boundaries and Energy Management

I can't tolerate that. People that just take and they don't give back. And sometimes it comes at the price of you becoming successful or you having your stuff together and you... being a powerhouse in many ways or or uh people look up to you because you you're disciplined you're hard working so a lot of people are going to gravitate towards you it's natural that

they want to take a bit of your energy but a lot of them take that energy with nothing to give back in return even if it's just to vent or for you to listen to them or to give them advice or to to guide them sometimes you just really do have to say not now later too much like you know you have to put those boundaries especially if you're in a position of power where people want to gravitate towards you and that's a beautiful thing but it needs to be on your terms i think

And I think that is what so many women need to learn when it comes to boundaries is the more you say no, the more yeses will show up in your life. And that's a beautiful thing. But also to be able to say...

I don't need to be everyone, everything to everybody. There's time and a place I need to nurture myself and feed myself and take care of myself, which before we started recording, I said in North America, I feel like women are just constantly being driven to this point of you can do it all. You can be a.

boss babe you can do this you can do this and not understanding that something's going to give right you can't be everything to everybody at all times yeah and even for mainly for yourself there's a time and a place for everything you can do it all just not all at once If you choose to, you know, be in your boss babe era in your 20s because you don't have a family to take care of, you don't have a dependence on you.

you know your parents are not depending on you I don't know many reasons like you can be in your masculine energy and you can be in your boss babe era totally fine but as you transition and you have other responsibilities your problems get bigger with work you start you get married you have a husband to take care of sometimes you get pregnant and you want to shift gear that should be okay too and i think that's what people with this whole boss baby era

It has made a lot of women feel like they're not doing enough because they think... Well, I'm not matching boss babe. Like, I don't feel like a boss babe. I'm probably putting it up online. But when I go back home, I'm bawling because I can't handle everything. And that shouldn't be.

that that shouldn't be the narrative that we're pushing if we're here to really push and vouch for women we should be able to tell them not push complacency but to tell them things happen they can happen but the truth is they're not going to be they're not going to work all cohesively all at once give yourself a break give yourself grace and I think knowing that

Women can take the time out. We can slow down. We can give ourselves that permission. So much of the time we're going so fast and so hard because we're trying to prove ourselves.

in spaces that we think are dominated by men or that we need to be the same as them when we don't at all need to be the same as a man who is whether it's a co-founder whether it's a colleague we have our own space and our own roles that we fulfill and i think women come whether it's health and wellness or to the business with a matter of intuition and knowledge that men don't have.

And we're great multitaskers. Look, I think there's many things that I resonate with that. Like if I were to compare the things I'm good at versus the things my husband is good at, my husband is better at the vision, the planning for the family. where we're gonna be in five years, I'm very good at.

creating what I think the market needs right now, getting things done very quickly. I'm very decisive, proactive, very quick on today and the tasks I can do. And like you said, multitask, I think it's not the right word because it's hard for us to really.

do a lot of things but we do maybe we don't do them beautifully unless we're super organized but we do a lot of things my husband's more of a one at a time kind of a thing and more of the long-term vision kind of a thing and i love the fact that i appreciate his role versus mine um but it's it's more of the matter of like and if i'm going to tell girls in their 20s if you're in your boss babe era and you can get a lot done get a lot done and climb the ladder

like that's against the wall that's leading to where you want to go because if your ladder's up against the wall that's the wrong wall then you're going to have to do all of that boss babe era in your 30s and in your 30s it's very difficult and i say this from experience because I don't have a mom and dad to spend on me if I want to, right? I don't have the safety net.

There was no choice. And I also take care of people. So there was no choice but for me to have to be independent and work hard. It's a beautiful story to say, yeah, the masculine role versus the feminine role. But sometimes that's not the cards you have, right? So if you know that that's not your fate, then at least use your energy and your stamina and your masculine era and your masculine energy wisely in your 20s so that by the time you're 30...

You can relax a bit. You know, things are working, things are moving. But I had to push again in my 30s after I left investment banking all over again. You know, did the whole, you know, broke for a while, had to rebuild for a while. So it's tough. It's really, really tough. So just choose why.

I know people say 20s are for you to make mistakes. It is, but also don't waste them. They're really the times where you, that's the age where you have the stamina and the mental capacity and the bandwidth to be able to do more, you know.

Today who you are today, you know, at your age with everything that you know, what does being in your power mean to you? I think to be decisive is a very important characteristic to have because you trust your own judgment when you're... making sure when you're calling the shots and you're you're making big calls right for you for your family the the hesitation approaching life with hesitation makes you lose a lot of your power if you know how to make quick decisions

Even if they're going to go the wrong way, but it's a decision that you took. And you trust that it's fate of where it's supposed to be because you moved and you took action towards that decision. That is a power that a lot of people don't have. They need to ask 10 people before they make a quick decision on what to wear tonight. So let alone how to...

to move the needle in your business or what relationship works for you. I think it's important to build the self-belief and self-trust of how to make decisions. even if everyone's against you, even if it's just you thinking that it's right for you. But if you have the power to say, I know this is right, and I know a lot of people don't think that's right, but I think I should do this, it's a power. It's like a...

It changes the game altogether and how much power you feel you have. I think you're so right because a lot of people lose time on the indecisiveness. Like, should I do this? Should I do this? Should I do this? versus i believe if you have 70 of the information that is enough information to make a decision absolutely and if you decide to make it it doesn't work out well that

you can pivot from there. But I think we lose so much in this back and forth in our own mind, but I think that's because most people do not know how to surrender and take a risk. I think we have become so... risk averse in so many ways we're terrified what if it doesn't work out well what's worse than not being able to take a risk is being in paralysis because of fear like it's either you take the risk and you possibly move forward or

you live in fear and you go nowhere which one do you want and i mean you have to really think of it like you're gonna have a story at the end of the day which story Do you want to tell? Do you want to tell people, you know, when you're sitting in 50 years old, having a chat with your kids, you know, I had this opportunity when I was 30 and it was so scary and I didn't take it. Or do you want to tell them I tried it?

I failed. I tried it again. It didn't end up working out, but it was the best experience of my life. Assume it goes sour in both cases. Which story do you want to tell? That's what I always tell myself. What story do you want to tell? Always pick the one with a better story.

When you go home and you have to go into like family mode and mom mode and wife mode, you are somebody who comes across really assertive and decisive and all that stuff. How do you shift internally within yourself between the feminine and the masculine?

Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies

Every single one of us has both energies in us. It's just turning it on and off. But how do you consciously do that in your family life? So I'm not a mom yet, hopefully soon. But I could speak for being with my husband. I'm very much in my feminine energy with my husband, like probably more than normal, like very, very relaxed. I could be childlike with my husband because he just brings the safety.

for me to feel like I can. So that gives me a lot of comfort. And I love to push relationships because I think doing life with someone, with a partner that's a supportive partner, that's a good backbone. There's nothing that matches that and not to say that women can do things on their own I would have very much done it on my own if I didn't find my husband

But it's not a narrative that I would push to say, you go girl, you do it on your own, you don't need no man. I would never push that narrative because it's so much easier to do life with a partner because you're just doing it together. You're building together. in that in the scenario where you find somewhere where you can be someone where you can like really let loose and feel safe is when your feminine energy can come out but in this day and age life is tough things are expensive

It's hard. Sometimes you need to income. Sometimes you need to build together. We don't need to be chasing the provider that will give me everything. And all girls are now saying no to any man that's anything less than X, Y, and Z. Yeah. I really don't like that because I have seen time and time again between all of my friends and myself, we were never the girls that went for the super crazy rich guy. We always dated hardworking men who built from scratch.

All of my friends have a beauty in their relationship that not many people that go after the rich man or the guy that has everything together and everything figured out from when he's 25 have one thing in common. the respect and the love and the partnership and the beauty of having built something together. There's that unbroken bond that I watch and I see between my husband and I and my friends. When you build something from scratch with somebody, it's an unmatched kind of partnership.

And there's a beauty to that. So give people a chance, even if they haven't reached the end, as long as you know the potential is there. take the chance as long as you see the prospect be the backbone be the multiplier of that man and help him and help yourself and work together to build that is also okay so that's very very important for a lot of women to know i think I think what you're saying basically is...

that it's how somebody makes you feel. It's not just what they bring to the table. So they provide you safety and security to really shine and be yourself. It doesn't matter at that moment if they're not able to provide the financial comforts and all, as long as you see potential in them being able to get there. I have to say that I'm so grateful every day for my masculine energy. I feel my masculine energy took me so far. It is the reason why I have become so resilient.

why a lot of no's, I'm here right now, after a lot of no's, when I was confronted with difficult people, with pushy people, personalities that it's hard to deal with. I'm still here. The negotiation skills I have, the resilience I built, like all of this was because I came in with my masculine energy. So I like to be in it.

doesn't bother me and I love I love it I love it I love everything about it I would never exchange it for anything in the world as long as I know how to use it to my advantage and I know how to use it you know in balance with and in harmony with my feminine energy it doesn't overshadow it's not

there for trauma it's there for protection it's there for building me you know and i think everybody should embrace having both again something i don't like seeing a lot is a lot of women huff and puff because they have to be in their masculine energy Take it. Take it. Enjoy it. Why are you upset about that? If you have the capability to.

versus other women who don't they just feel timid and annoyed and bothered when they're around an aura of like masculine energy or even women that are intimidating scares them or bothers them And I feel for them. But if that's not you and you are able...

To be in your masculine. Just take it, man. I would take it. I think it's a gift. I don't think you and I would be here without this energy. This would not be our careers. We would not have the ability to build what we're building. We would not be the voices that we are. It is all because we had that masculine energy.

which is a driving force in us. But what you've done so beautifully is when it comes to your personal life, you're able to switch that out and be able to go into your feminine and your play, which is really the feminine is to play, to love, to live, to laugh. And I think a lot of... Women get that piece wrong. It's like how to create that safety in their personal relationships to be able to fall into that little girl who can just have fun. But that takes two.

your partner has to be able to let you feel safe to do so. Otherwise, that shield is going to stay up no matter what. I have been there in past relationships, and I know the difference between feeling safe and... what's safe to you that's a bigger question for me safety is someone who adores me who loves me who helps me build when i'm feeling like crap he knows how to uplift me he knows how to guide me that's more of safety for me than someone you know

buying me a lamborghini or whatever you know what i mean like what is safety to you so it depends on where you're going to shift into your feminine energy because someone's taking care of you and spending on you lavishly is that what makes you feminine For me, that's a value system. That's a value system. So what's valuable to you that makes you feel like a feminine? For me, it is definitely not those things. For me, it is everything I mentioned.

earlier the care the love the the protection always coming by passing by kissing me telling me you're amazing when I'm crying about something with work he's like I'm not going to solve it for you you've got this That for me is allowing me to be in my feminine energy. I don't need you to fix it for me. And I love the fact that he says, Trace.

You're smart. You're capable of. Shake it off. Stop crying. You know you're going to do this. You know you are. You're very smart. That for me is like, what do I want more than this? Someone that's after my growth, wants me to be the best, is not competing with me.

Who's inspired by you. Who's inspired by me. And he says it to me every day. He says it to people all the time. I'm so inspired by my wife. How am I not going to be in my feminine energy if I have a husband that says this? Because you're celebrated every single day. And I think that is what a lot of women miss is...

that piece about a man should be celebrating you and honoring who you are in your truest essence. If that means going and building a career and still being a wife and inshallah being a mother and all those things, you can be. all those things together is just that there has to be a time and a place. Absolutely. For each role. Very true. Do you believe that the man that you meet is always going to, that is a baseline of who they are. They can change, they can become.

get better work, make more money, all that stuff. However, the baseline of who you meet is who they're always going to be. No, I don't believe that. I used to think that in my 20s. I'm a huge believer in people being able to change. All throughout my 20s, anybody that knows me knows that I used to say, nobody changes. People are who they are. I don't trust anyone who has a bad past or has a bad...

I mean, Pat passed in the sense of like a value system that doesn't match mine. I probably wouldn't have, I wouldn't go for it because it's a value system. But I mean, assume someone used to be lazy, assume someone wasn't working on themselves, not introspective.

When the time comes for you and you have your calling of, I need to do better, and it's usually after you hit rock bottom or something shuts in your face, some woman leaves you, someone, it's a loss, like a feeling of loss. That's when... most people are like, I got to do better. An injury, a pain, most people are like, I got to do better. If people can change their bodies from being completely obese to super fit, if people could...

you know, get over their injuries in a spectacular way. They can run after they've gotten amputated. If you have decided to make a massive change like that, it's because something in you said you can. Of course I think if a man or a woman were lazy once upon a time, they weren't focused, they didn't study well, I was that girl. I would say about myself when I was younger, I don't remember feeling like I'm...

I'm extremely very capable of creating different businesses. I felt like a glass ceiling on top of me. Maybe I didn't really see my capability, but only my age and my time and my experience has allowed me to feel like I can. You know, so if you really want to change, people change. And I trust that. The reason I'm asking that because so many women fall in love with the potential of someone versus who.

they are and they get lost into the potential of what that man and person can become and they lose so much of their time trying to hope that they can change into x y and z so i asked you that because i wanted to see from your perspective Women listening to this and they're like, Tracy, you found love. You're happily married. You're settled. And you still have this incredible career. How do I not fall for the potential? How do I look for who the baseline of somebody is? So that's the tricky part.

You have to have really good judgment because a lot of women mistake potential for making excuses for behavior that would never change. If you see potential, it's because you see the habits that the person is doing today.

really implemented and wired in that is going to define the success of where they're going to be in the future. If the habits are not there today, red flag i would worry so you can't just say but i know one day he's gonna you know work hard like no that's that's one thing but like if you potential means not everybody needs to be Not every man needs to be 25 or 30 or 35 and have all his shit together. That is an unfair ask. If we see the statistics, men don't usually do...

well or really see success until 42 to 55. I was reading the stats the other day in the US. 42 to 55. But these guys don't have a break in their 30s because no woman wants to date a guy in their 30s when they don't have their stuff together. But if that man is...

head down, working really hard, building on something that you believe in. You're like, oh, wow, this product is really cool. I think you can make it. And you're there right by him to kind of anchor him in because that's what women do. Women anchor men in. They're multipliers. They're able to push you to do better and they're able to settle you down so that you can focus. Be that woman if you can.

If the man is today instilling the habits that you know are going to reap the benefits of what he's going to create in the future, that is key. The habits have to be there today and the success can happen later. I also want to shift gears towards like your personal transformation. You talk about it all the time online, how you changed, how you eat, how you're working out.

Personal Transformation and Wellness Journey

A lot of Middle Eastern women or South Asian women are terrified of weightlifting. Like they're terrified. They're terrified of so much more than that. Food groups are terrified of. So. How can we walk women through, because you're in obviously incredible shape, you're Middle Eastern, you're Lebanese, and you're fitter and healthier than you've ever been. So how did A, you discover that for yourself, and two, then what do you teach people to do?

All things that you build that's of service to other people, it starts with a problem that you're solving for yourself usually. And as I started to age, I'm 39 now, as I started to push 35, 36, 37. I started realizing that the eat less, move more stopped working.

It may work in your 20s. You can get away with, you know, not having dinner and then dropping a kilo. You may get away with eating a salad and then drop shedding and your six pack is showing or even having a sandwich and you're totally fine and, you know, weightlifting a couple of days a week. But as we grow older, obviously our hormones are changing and...

Coming from someone who was training heavy six days a week, thinking, why am I not lean? Why am I not shedding? I'm doing the thing. I'm eating the carbs. They said I should be eating the carbs. Fasting how they're telling me fast. I'm doing the intermittent fast. I don't eat until two hours.

p.m. so that's what I'm supposed to do coffee coffee coffee coffee and then only so as I was taught from the books that are out there from the experts and the doctors and the white codes that I'm telling you Little did I know. I mean, obviously, because I have this, I'm very curious and I have this growth mindset. And thanks to 2025 that we have what?

I mean, podcasts everywhere. We have access to all the experts all over telling you the information, but you need to be really looking for it. People that are doing their independent research that are not funded by big food, big pharma, big agriculture, big tech.

And as you go down that rabbit hole, you solve the problem for yourself. You're like, how have I been doing it wrong this whole time? What am I thinking boasting about not sleeping and I can, you know, function on four hours of sleep? What am I thinking about? drinking coffee on an empty stomach and going to the gym and working out. What am I thinking about? Carbs are necessary, a staple in your diet, because otherwise you're losing a major micronutrient in your body.

All of these things. What am I thinking being afraid of fat? Why am I like, don't put fat on my steak? What am I thinking? And then you realize that certain people need you to believe this so that you remain numb. You remain sick. You're able to go to the doctors. You're able to get your prescriptions that are going to put you on stats and shots for God knows how long. And then they're going to tell you.

You need pills. Nobody asks about your nutrition. Nobody asks about your lifestyle. They give you the pills, and then you wonder why you still feel like crap. why your brain fog is there, why your anxiety is there. We're not only talking about physical, we're talking about how you feel, being lethargic in the middle of the day, groggy, anxious, snappy. It all comes from what you're eating and how you're living.

how you're anchored with a circadian rhythm and none of this is to say i judge anybody because i would have never known if i didn't go down this rabbit hole and i get a lot of backlash because i'm not wearing a white coat of why i talk about this and I can't tell you how much more and more and more as I see other people in the white coat that I respect their research saying the words that I'm saying, like Gary the other day.

in the supper club Gary Brucker saying the exact same things that I'm saying and I'm like I'm proud I'm proud that I'm researching the right people that we speak the same language but if I'm wearing the white coat people will listen if I don't wear the white coat then people are going to question And then again, you see the people that question you being nutritionists or doctors, and then you look at what their lifestyle is, what they're selling, what their practice is, and I'm like, nah, man.

This is a hard place to be. But I think we're living in a world where we know now that the system is not always there to benefit you. The government's not always there to benefit you. You need to really... do your own learning and understanding of how things work, because we're walking into an era that it's going to be very, very difficult. And unless people take things into their own hands.

And advocate for themselves. And advocate for themselves and do the research and be willing to unlearn the things we were told forever. I was that girl, too, who believed all of those things. And if someone's living proof...

and they have experience with other people living proof of the thing, then do it. I would rather trust you if you're living proof than go to the doctor that's telling me something that he's not living by by example. If you are taking protein powder, you definitely need to hear this.

I think a lot of the research that we were following, because I was also fasting for really long hours, not eating fat, all of this stuff, is because all the research is directed on men. And there's very little research that's actually, one, done on women until now. Two.

You're not taught nutrition in medical school, so that's not a priority. And I always say the fat-free movement was the biggest disservice done to the women because what it does is when we don't have enough fat in our bodies, we can't produce major hormones. need the fats to look plump and nourish and sleep well.

feel good but we deprived ourselves of core nutrients right there we're also not taking in enough minerals gary said the other day don't just drink flat water like all of this stuff matters people go through hours in a day or days on end. They're like, but we're not thirsty. Well, that's not a good sign. That shows that your body's almost given up. So true. I mean, you said this thing about fat. I was reading this other day. We have 30% fat in our body. 30%.

okay between your brain to prevent you from alzheimer's in the future to think memory your ovaries to carry a baby you need fat we have 30 fat in our body and they've vilified fat for so long so that you don't replenish that fat where it's so necessary We have 70% water in our body and people don't drink water. Your muscle is your biggest organ and you don't eat protein. You think that you can get away with not eating protein and you'll be totally fine. And how much carbs do we have in our body?

1%. 1% carb in our body. And everyone is so afraid of taking a break from carbs or timing their carbs around their workout. No, but I need to have it as a staple every single meal. No, you don't. You don't need it. it makes you feel good you want it and maybe if you're a high performance athlete then yes i get it you're using it for energy but most people aren't most people it's their average dinner when they're watching tv eating rice and something

And then they wonder if their goal is fat loss, why they're not losing fat. And again, no judgment to anybody. I was that girl. What's wrong with that? I'm eating rice and sweet potato. What's the problem? Everyone said those are fine. If my goal is fat loss. Maybe not. But again, what is your goal? Is it performance? Is it fat loss? What is your goal? And then cater your meals accordingly. What is your staple diet look like at the moment? All right.

heavy on protein. I eat two times my body weight of protein every single day. And how do you do that? What are you eating to take in that protein? So, I mean, now I can eyeball it, but when I initially started by measuring it for two, three days, I'm like, okay, this is the kind of the size of my steak, the kind of the size. I don't do the calorie thing because... You don't need the calorie thing if you're eating.

the optimal way but then as I start introducing other things which I do I mean I have an ice cream brand I love food then I start thinking okay this might be about 500 600 calories if you're introducing inflammatory foods count the calories they matter but assume you're eating like i would eat in my day to day on midweek breakfast i have let's say four eggs in the morning boiled eggs with half an avocado and uh

two pieces of turkey bacon like fresh turkey bacon i put them in the air fryer that's my breakfast staple my lunch is a chicken thighs ribeye steak i mean salmon white fish any of the above protein of my choice 300 grams let's say of steak with any of the veg of my of my choice I choose them low oxalate vegetables so maybe research that if you want to find out what low oxalate vegetables are and sweet potato on the days that I've trained

now because I'm no longer in fat loss mode on the days that I wasn't was more on fat loss mode I would maybe drop it to two days a week as opposed to every single day but at the very beginning when I wanted to fix my hormones and I do the same thing for dinner so these are the three meals sometimes I'll have a larger lunch

and i'll eat twice a day so it's either the three meals that are medium size or i'll have the breakfast and the lunch and i'll eat twice a day and i don't eat after six o'clock six on most days the one or two days a week i have a social event no problem but most days eat with the sun. I eat eight in the morning. I have lunch at one o'clock.

I eat 6 p.m. because it is so important to eat with the sun, to get your body to trust you that you have a rhythm and a routine, to have sunlight in your eyes in the morning, to go for long walks, to be consistent with giving your body what it needs so that it feels good. safe to let go of fat and that is how I changed everything. When I gave it what it needed and then it all of a sudden the stubborn fat that was covering all of my muscles started falling off.

what are three at 39 mind you you know most people are worried like yeah but i'm older i'm 39 this is not a me at 25 kind of thing me at 25 i can just skip dinner and my abs would show this is me at 39 right i'm in i'm 42 now i'm going to be 43 next year and i'm in the best shape of my life

because I started eating right from my body. I started prioritizing my day with protein. I stopped being afraid of lifting weights. I lift really, really heavy five days a week. And when I started doing all of that and introduced a lot of fat, like I will literally eat.

butter off a spoon. Me too. It's my favorite thing ever. I love it. I love it. Butter with dates is delicious. My best. Right? It's such a good dessert. It makes you not like anything else because your body knows what it needs. When you have a piece of date and you put a butter in it.

I'm like, man, I can eat this all day. You can't even eat the chocolate anymore from the random supermarket. Not at all because it also burns slowly. So when you start giving your body the nutrients it needs, the building blocks. then it doesn't matter if you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s, or 50s. You can at any stage be in the best shape of your life when you make that decision to feed and fuel your body correctly. It's so true. It's so true. And for so many, though, this is what's key, is that...

If you've done damage to your body for 10 and 15 and 20 years, sometimes you're going to need a bit of a harsh reset. And that would mean eliminate everything inflammatory. I know it's tough. It sucks. I did it and I didn't like it. But sometimes your body signals don't work anymore. Your hunger cues don't work anymore. Your insulin doesn't work anymore. You need to make everything sensitive again so that your body's like, okay, I can.

Now I work. Yeah, now it's working. I know I can tell you when you're full now because you made me hear. Train myself. You know, the muffles are not on anymore. I can hear it. And then after. you park and this is doing your service it's allowing you to give your body a break to heal

It's like an addict. You take away the drugs. You take away the alcohol. You don't say, oh, I'll just give it to you in micro doses. Yeah, exactly. No, you cut them. It's cold turkey. So yes, sometimes when you've done so much damage. do that reset phase, which is what I talk about in my program. Reset first, get your hormones to work. And then in your maintenance phase, you introduce the date and butter and the honey and the foods that are good for you and that help you thrive.

And they're not, I mean, the process stuff. But at the same time, you will learn how to do it in moderation or in a way where it will work to your advantage. I'm going to the gym. I'll have two dates and butter. Amazing. Like you really work with your body with how it will help you fuel.

The Misconception of Restriction: Real Food vs. GLP-1 Drugs

And in this era of like GLP-1 drugs and stuff, it's even more important to tell people, please stop being afraid.

doesn't mean restriction when we tell you have a steak and salad. What restriction is, is injecting yourself with GLP-1 and then saying, yeah, but it's just for my summer body. That is restriction. That's restriction, yeah. Nobody's vilifying that. Everyone's like, oh, yeah, she's on Olympic. But when you tell... someone have steak and salad for and eggs for a month and see what happens what do you mean that's restrictive this is how humans are meant to eat this is what food looks like

But they've brainwashed us so much with what is available, with all the dopamine options that are available, that this doesn't look like it's real food anymore. And that is how we're meant to eat. And also we moved away from eating like nose to tail.

The Benefits of Eating Nose to Tail and Raw Dairy

yeah which is so essential to us that's how we were built especially if you're from this part of the world that's how we eat organs of course part of our staple diet and people are so nervous to eat organ meat and i'm like guys we if you look at us historically that's how i answer just ate so why are you so terrified of eating that way eating raw dairy raw milk like my favorite all of it is my favorite it tastes different

It tastes different. You know, I didn't touch milk for like 20 years. I couldn't even smell it. Really? Because I was drinking the wrong milk. And then when I started realizing that I'm not drinking farm milk that's unpasteurized or raw milk.

i'm like drinking i drink it like it's honey like it's so good amazing and you would never know same with butter when you're getting supermarket shelf butter versus real butter i can eat a butter stick yeah and i feel amazing and it really balances your hormones so well if you know how to

replenished with proper butter, you know, especially women, especially for women. It's so important. And especially the older we get because we need that external fat to help us produce hormones. And when we don't have that, we're depriving ourselves. Our body's like, listen, I'm already getting perimenopausal.

to actually add in more support in order for me to be able to function more. So get in more sleep, cycle with the sun, circadian rhythm, health becomes so important. Feeding your mitochondria becomes so important. Absolutely. But women are taught that. And your ATP, 100%.

We're not taught that. And that's why I talk about it no matter what they say, no matter how much they want to say. No, you're not wearing a white coat. You can't talk about it. I will talk about it. I will continue talking about it because I know it to be true and I know it to be right. And people need to know.

You spoke about people cutting out inflammatory foods. Can you highlight just for everybody listening some main inflammatory foods that they should be aware of? Because some people don't know.

Understanding Inflammatory Foods and Oxalates

All right, so the main one that is a hidden one is foods that are high in oxalates. They come in places that you don't even realize. And a lot of the times they're in your fruits and in your vegetables and in your nuts. The things that you think are good for you.

They're not necessarily helping you absorb minerals properly. So sometimes you need to take a break from that because if we go back to our hunter-gatherer days, you don't have access to that much fruit. It wasn't genetically modified as it is now. You couldn't just eat it at the click of your fingers. It was in the season. And now we forget because I can get anything I want just by scrolling on.

you know, an aggregator. So things like kiwi, it's very high in the skin of the kiwi is very high in oxalates. The beetroot is very high in oxalates. nuts for sure like the peanut butter family mold in them but it's not to say that it it hurts everybody some people are way more sensitive to oxalates than others so as an example when we park a lot of the high oxalated

vegetables and fruits and nuts and whatever from my program at the very beginning, what happens is a lot of people get withdrawals. They get teenage-like. pass outs like I'm like they're so exhausted from the first day they're planting themselves and they they don't they think it's a stake but they don't realize that it's because you're eliminating the oxalated food and and the sugars and on the cough in a coffee we have coffee in the program but even the sugar we take that out at the beginning

If you feel like I can't cut sugar, that means you need to cut sugar. I can't means you have to do it. If my husband is the kind of guy that's like, I can have like a small square every day. Bro, don't cut it out. You're fine. I...

We'll finish the slab. I have this thing with sugar. I love sugar. So for me, it is necessary to control my sugar. And it took me parking it for my body to be sensitive again and know how to burn it and know how to... want it in moderation some people may never want it in moderation and sugar

The Addictive Nature of Sugar and Its Impact on Health

is 10 times more addictive than cocaine 100 not by just just saying it is what the research shows yes 10 times more addictive than cocaine do you realize what that means people think oh this guy took cocaine oh he's a druggie

We're druggies too, being so addicted to sugar, refined sugar like that. So we really, really need to be careful. They market it as joy and pleasure and beauty, but they don't tell you the truth. It damages you. And people that are worried about longevity and their beauty... Be worried about your server intake, you know?

So it's so funny when we were in South Arabian Riyadh, somebody put up their hand, sitting next to Mark Hyman, and they said something like, how much sugar can somebody have a week? And he burst out laughing. He's like, that is a sugar addict right there. Because if they're even asking it, they're trying to negotiate with them.

he's like you're addicted to sugar like that's not even a question if you know that sugar is a root cause for so many things like alzheimer's parkinson's all of this stuff stems from destroying your microbiome and sugar is a major culprit of that Why would you want to take something that leads to all of these essentially aging diseases that we have and leave us so unwell? Yeah.

I mean, I think it's a matter of priority. So what is your priority? Is your priority not aging well? Is your priority not feeling good all day? Not getting anxious? If those are not on your priority list or they're not top of mind, then you're just going to say, I'm going to have a cake. I don't really care.

so I think it really depends on the person and again I love sugar i love it but i know that it's not good for me so i have to make a conscious effort that in the weekdays nothing is in my house once in a while we go out i have my ice cream brand we do something i will enjoy it but

I have to practice the discipline of not in my house. Every single day I have to do the fight because it is hard for me. It doesn't come easy for me. It's like, it doesn't mean anything to me. I really like it. So it's not like we give the advice. from a high horse. No, we're practicing it ourselves. I'm practicing it because it's hard and I get it. So if someone tells you, take a break and you get defensive.

You have a problem right there. You have an issue. That is the problem, exactly. I wanted to talk to you about hormones because you obviously do that in your program as well and you teach women how to fix their body and fix their hormones.

Building a Routine for Hormone Health

Now, can we walk through when somebody comes to you or you fix your own hormones, what are the core building blocks you gave your body to help enhance your hormone health again? Number one is anchoring to circadian rhythm. Absolute must.

sunlight in the morning in your eyes wake up with the sun 6 7 a.m i don't care make it a point to get that infrared light and anchor in your melatonin to come out at night 14 hours later because that's exactly what it does you look at the sun it anchors in the melatonin to come out at night and it gets you sleepy which is a beautiful thing cut food four hours before you sleep because your melatonin that is has you worked on in the morning to get anchored in will not come out at night if

you're still digesting. If your digesting hormone is still out, they don't come out at the same time. So when you eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, and then go to bed, and then you wonder why you're not sleeping well, it's because Melatonin is not able to come out. So you're popping your melatonin pills and you still not feeling good. So that's another way to regulate it. Absolutely change your nutrition.

That changes everything. Have clockwork time on how you eat your meals. Don't just wing it. I'll just see if I eat at three or at two or whatever. No, you have to have it at eight. Have it at one. Have it at six. Eat with the sun. I'm just going to start there with the basics.

Walk after your meals. Just make sure that you're getting that movement. And I'm not even talking about lifting and going there. This is just in the basic level of how it's a DIY version of how you could regulate your hormones without anything. Eat the fat, eat the meat. I mean, girls with PCOS, eat the fat. Girls that are on restrictive diets that are doing calorie deficits lose their period when they're not eating fat. You can still get lean and thin.

like i did i got really lean at some point i had muscles like i had six seven packs because i chose to do it this way for the first time i used to do it the wrong way before you know lean lean everything i don't yet put any fat on my food i lost my period for three four months yeah you do it the right way Your period comes back at clockwork. Go heavy on the fat. If your period is not there, your body's telling you something's wrong. You have to really listen to these signals.

It's not possible for your body to be okay and not have your period. It's your sign to say, look, something's wrong in your diet, right? Totally. So those are the things I would say to regulate your hormones. Like at the very beginning, a DIY version is just anchor in on all of these things. Get your food, remove the inflammatory foods, get everything to work again by going really high protein, number one.

Fat, don't be afraid of it. And have the vegetables that are good for you so that you can absorb all of the protein and stuff that are not going to be depleted because it has high oxalates and stuff like that. What you're saying is also so important. Even chocolate has high oxalates. Exactly.

What you're saying is also so important because you're talking about getting good quality sleep at night as well, and you need to cut off the food. So essentially your brain detoxes between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. But if you are still digesting your food, then your brain can't actually detox at night, which is why. people wake up and they're like i didn't have a good night's sleep i didn't really get much deep sleep in

Well, are you giving yourself a chance to actually fall into that rhythm of sleep? And a lot of people are also just talking about food as if like the junk food is the only thing. There's also something called junk light. When you have blue light right up in your face, which is why big tech is a big part of this. Huge. your face blue light as you doom scroll and numb your brain that blue light is acting like it's

the outside 2 p.m. light, right? That's exactly what it's acting like. So your brain is not going to tell the difference of whether you're in nighttime or you're in daytime. So if... you're doing that and you're wondering why you can't sleep, then think again. I have, let's say, another thing I have in my house is red lights all over my house at 5 p.m.

Everything looks like sunset at my house starting 5 p.m. You'll never see a like a headlight. Yeah. Because it does bring the energy down. It does soothe you. It does prep your body to like calm down. It's safe to go to sleep. I do watch TV. I do small things here and there. Yes, I'm not perfect in everything. but I have like 9 30 10 I'm like I'm like exhausted so my even my tv time has become so much less people always worry about how am I going to wake up early if you sleep early

You wake up early. I don't even use an alarm anymore. I literally don't have an alarm. My body knows. I wake up. I kind of see the crack of dawn. I look at my phone. Same time every day. It's like 6, 6 to 05, 615, sometimes 550. areas where I wake up and if your biological clock is telling you you're comfortable wake up then amazing you know it's doing something right

The Importance of Discipline and Structure in Health Programs

What I love about the advice that you're giving is you're telling people when you build structure and routine and discipline, then your body knows how to support you. But you need to first create that safety through habits and routine. I love that you're saying that because... Every time someone gets on my program and unfortunately I have to sell it as fat loss program. You can look like this in four weeks. This is what you look like. This is how you will look. Because that's what people want.

if i tell them i'm going to help you build discipline and they're like no thank you that's not what i want but what you you sell them what they want and then you give them what they need and when they're in my app all the lessons start with habit building, structure, time block calendar, discipline, deep work, locking in deep work, how to create deep work in your life, how to create purpose.

I'm sure they're like scrolling through the program thinking, what the hell is this course? Like, what did I sign up for? Where's the fat loss? Yeah. But that's all part of it. You have to start here. If you don't have the clean slate.

the discipline, the habit building tools, there's no way you're going to commit to the program for longer than a week. And funnily enough, the majority of the people that do the program, when they come back to me and they do it properly, tell me, like I tell them how did it go they'll be like you know what the fat loss is great I'm so happy but honestly

What I learned is how to be structured, how to keep my boundaries intact, time balking my calendar. I have so much more time. Now I'm working on a side hustle. But thank you for the fat loss.

that main priority yeah which is great because i don't want people also to only care about their aesthetic so much but at the same time they have the capability now to know that you're not broken nothing's wrong with you you just have to do the things correctly and you don't need these crazy weight loss hacks in order for you to get there you can do it by yourself and people lost the ability to trust themselves that is the scariest part

because it's become so easy so easy to say you know what I mean I'll just take this drug for two weeks it's so easy like why do I need to do the discipline and the hard work if I could just take the drug I get it. I get why people resort to it because they stop trusting in their ability to do it. And if I have one mission with this program.

is to tell people you can do it by yourself you will do it by yourself i don't care if you're 30 or 40 or 50 you'll do it by yourself if it's just enough consistent days in a row of following it exactly as is it's not rocket science it's not my own curated program it's what people are talking about the experts are talking about it you're just not listening to the right experts and that is the issue what i loved about which is why i wanted you to come on the show

is that you're taking people back to themselves. You're helping people return home. And I think there's so many gurus and doctors and stuff, fear-mongering you online. Don't do this, but buy this, but that. You're not telling them to buy anything. You're not telling them you're going to fix them this way. You're telling them, I'm going to give you the tools.

resources to teach you how to be fully independent within your own body and that decision will lead to so many other great things better relationships better being at work quality time with friends quality time with family and really empowering the individual which is

The complete opposite of what people want you to do. You know, the thing with empowering the individual, that is a key element. If you check out the program, the key thing that I talk about is every single expert, what I read, which book.

I want you to do your own research. I want you to continue and double down on that. Ask questions. If there's anything you want me to research, I'll do the research for you. A lot of people are busy. They don't have the time. I have the time. I will do the research. But I keep...

mentioning the different expert advice that I'm reading up on. Check out this book, guys. You need to listen to this doctor. Because they need to know that this information is free. They're not going to get the information from me like it's some secret little thing. It is free. but most people don't know where to look so i've consolidated everything everywhere but where they come to you is for the accountability and for the community

That is the only thing that you can't get randomly. So if I'm able to structure it for you in a way that's digestible and easy to understand so you can trust yourself again. And feel supported. And feel supported. That's amazing. That's amazing. And I'm there for you. That's the idea, you know. Are you somebody that's also training with your cycle? Because I know a lot of people talk about that. I don't have time to cycle train with the time of the month that I'm in and what workouts I'm doing.

I'm somebody who loves to lift weights. And it doesn't matter what day of the week it is. I lift four to five times a week. Look, I have my structure. Okay, I now lift three times a week. I do yoga twice a week. I do...

Um, uh... functional training once a week and I play paddle okay so I had to cut down on the weight training because I wanted to enjoy these different sports when I used to train six times a week I enjoy these things but I am very in tune with my body so even around my cycle let's say i'm at you know almost about just about to get my period or at the beginning of my cycle like i know that my period day

onwards i'm a beast yeah i feel it like of course that's when you're supposed to lift the most and that's when i do lift the most even the day one of my period yeah you know no problem exactly like a beast but i feel a bit lethargic and groggy before but it doesn't change my routine personally i still

go to the gym on the days that I said I'm going I still do the yoga on the days I said I don't say this these two weeks I'm not going to go to the gym because this is my whatever luteal phase or whatever I go but I get it some people I just don't want to give in to the biology necessarily if I don't feel that I need to. But what I do do is if I do feel lethargic. I tell my trainer, it's not going to be 100 kilos today. It's probably going to be 80. Yeah, I get it. I get it. No problem.

or my hip thrusts are bothering me you know your hips start hurting right before you're back I'm like I just I don't feel it today my hips are a bit tight like after I get my period I'll be better but I'm there at the gym anyway because it makes me feel good so you know I don't train necessarily around my period but I'm so in tune with

how I feel around my cycle that I know what to like, you know, put up the brakes. You're also somebody who's working on multiple different things at the same time, right? How do you not lose your vision?

Balancing Multiple Commitments and Saying No

with being in the grind so much? How do you give yourself a break? It's hard. I mean, you're asking me in a week that I was drowning. So I just know the fear. You're like, I know it was not a good week this week. Yeah, I hear you. If I say drowning, so it's not a great feeling and I would like to be better at like...

planning my weeks properly so that not everything is like high intensity days high intensity days but I don't have high intensity days every day all the time but I do have weeks at a time that come this way I have gotten way better at rejecting opportunity which used to be so hard for me because I come from a place where I was begging for opportunity.

I need that job. I need that money. I need that in. I come from a place that I needed it so bad that I would feel like I'm disappointing myself and letting myself down if I didn't take it. How can I say no to $5,000 extra? How can I say no? to this person wanting to invite me on his podcast. And maybe I get more visibility on their platform. And then in due course, you realize that as you grow in business and you become better at it.

You become more in demand. People want to talk to you more. They want to work with you more. Then you're in a position of power that you could choose. I can now say no thank you.

I know it's a great offer. $10,000 is great. But I can say no today to $10,000 because if I keep procrastinating on what I'm doing now, that may make me $100,000 in two years or one year, then... because I keep saying yes to these little things right then it just pushes you off track so I think the only way I learned how to do it and I only learned this recently I would say the last two years is I really do say no

Not nearly as much as I should, but I say no. A lot, a lot, a lot, which used to eat me alive. It used to eat me alive. Shit, maybe I don't get the opportunity again. Yeah, but you have to. It has to be those really important things that you focus on. Nothing gets done if you don't focus. As I opened Mama Buddha, it's because investors like our partners approached us and said, look, you guys are great in marketing.

and my husband's good he has an agency creative and branding and marketing i'm like you guys know how to do this we have great flavors can you help us we're like great we want to invest in a brand let's do it and as we did that we had multiple brands approach us and a lot of that we had to say no to because how much

can you possibly disperse your time when i have the podcast and i have untraceable and have branding so now we just do select like really really exclusive brands that are really cool that have a very good potential, we think about the investments. I have to say no to multiple options now. It's really hard. One of the things like getting to know you and sitting down and interviewing you is you have really strong value systems and you are somebody who has very high integrity.

When you understand what your value systems are and you operate from a place of integrity, the things that don't align with that, you will learn to say no to. The older you get and the more you get to know yourself. And my mom, when she was alive, she'd always say something.

if something is meant for you a person a place or an opportunity no matter what happens nobody if somebody tries to take it away from you maybe that timing is not right it will always come back into your life so sometimes when you're feeling overwhelmed at that moment it's not a yes but knowing that something belongs to you, having that faith that it will return back into your life when you're ready is very liberating. I also have a lot of faith and with faith I have this unwavering thought.

Faith, Resilience, and Emotional Mastery

or belief that if something is supposed to be for me and I work hard enough at it, so those come together. Because people usually take the first one and say, if something's meant for me, it will come. Yeah, but you have to work towards it. Yeah, exactly. If something's meant for me. and i work hard enough to figure out a way to get there it will either be mine or if it's not meant to be for me i truly believe god is saying

I know you think that, baby. I know you think this is going to be for you. There's something better out there for you. I know it hurts now, but you'll see. And I swear to you, that's why we listen to our parents and say when they would tell us when our kids...

trust me i know it's because time and experience shows the repetition of the pattern like it's happened to me all throughout my 20s and through my 30s the times i got fired the times i lost money the times i went into a bad deal and i'm like how is this happening to me and in due course you always see in hindsight that it was meant for the right

reason it was a lesson you needed to learn it was the redirection into the better project that came like you have to trust if you have faith it helps a lot I think us as human beings don't realize that our capacity to still think and manifest is still limited to in comparison to God.

He has this master plan for you. And you can only manifest or desire at the place that you are today. But where you're going to go to with that faith is so much more. And I think that's where spirituality and having some sort of belief in something bigger than you is so important.

because that becomes a guiding light in your life. To be like, maybe I think this is what all there is for me, but there's so much greater out there for me that I can't, as the version of me that I am today, imagine that. So true. You know, it's...

If it's not for the faith at all, if it's for one thing, it's just to ground yourself. Because most of us walk around like narcissists thinking the world revolves around us. My problems, my issues. I can't believe this happened to me. The bank did this to me.

The second you believe in something bigger than you, like God, spirituality, meditation, the universe, anything that's bigger than you, and you humble yourself to pray or to find some calm, you realize, wait a second, Tracy, your problems are not that big. You're okay. Even if it's for a selfish reason, do it. Because most of the time people think it's me, me, me about what I want, what's happening to me. And that voice in your head that's talking to you behind somewhere.

know that that's god telling you you have to do this thing or yeah it's going to be okay or come on i know like you know that thing that pesters you like you didn't do this thing you did do the rabbit hole yeah that's direction and you're not going to hear it unless you take some time that to pause and listen When you're distracting yourself, you won't hear that. You won't hear the voice, you know?

I had a major thing happen to me with work this week and the team started panic and stuff. And I said, guys, it's going to be okay. It's going to go through as it's meant to go through. We need to know that we're on the right path and to take a step back. And sometimes with going backwards, you can actually go forwards and understand that this is exactly in alignment with what you're meant to be doing. Right. So true.

I wanted to leave our community with one piece of advice that you think all women should incorporate if they want to live happier, healthier, more liberating lives and have better relationships even with their partners. What would that be? I would say... resilience.

and control over your emotions is very important to navigate everything if you want a good relationship with your co-workers with your husband you need to know how to be resilient to the difficult things that happen you need to be able to Take the criticism, take the feedback, give feedback for work. The same thing, you know, not to be emotionally triggered by everything, you know, to really learn how to. Adapt to the difficult things in life.

Things come at you, even the bigger you grow. I mean, in my 20s, my problems were nowhere near as big as they are now. Now the money problems are bigger. Opportunity problems are bigger. Family problems are bigger. There's more fear. It is scary. Okay, it's scary. Life is like this. And if you don't have the emotional capacity to deal...

then it's going to really slap you in the face. Your problems are no different to anybody else's. The only difference is how you choose to deal versus how someone else chooses to deal. And if you could just practice the art of having control over your emotions and knowing how to... those things and the difficult scenarios then it may be a little bit easier. I was laughing when you were saying that because the theme in my life for the last two weeks has been emotional mastery.

It was probably one of my biggest Achilles heels. And it's like when you learn to master your emotions and you don't. you're not so reactive, but yet you go back to a place of being an observer and sitting back and let things play out and then decide your decision where you're landing on things, you will feel so free and liberated. within yourself because nothing outside is dictating what's going on internally in you. It's so true. I love that you said that. That is spot on.

I'm going to start using that too. Right? And you were saying it. I was like, this is literally Tracy being my lesson for two weeks. You know, this is what I've been going through.
