exhale how do you feel you know i feel great i want to welcome my guests jackie nicol barry to the dr joyce giraud thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to coming in to talk to me to historically women's college h b c you down in atlanta went to georgetown law school and i came to new york and practiced law to entertainment law actually representing people like you good ten years i don't do that anymore though you know what my legal legal skills are really be ok and then i practice law for about ten years and then i took some time off after i got married i had a my mother passed away when i was twenty one sorry and she was forty nine and  we women do i took care of everyone else the good ones didn't take care of me so i took some time off to agree and figure out what are figure out what i want to do with life and in that process of taking time off i discovered some passion and of funnels down from those three things and then from that i will also talk about home decor because i think the same way you way are patterns and fabrics and textures on your body is how you do that with makeup and how you do that with home and pillows and bedding  i think is how you do with food i think really great food tastes good when the textures are when there's when there's something crunchy in your mouth and something salty and sweet and smooth on they gather all mixed together like that's the part in your mouth that's the next something good and so that's what that's what jackie and filters focus on it focuses on those differences and how they come together so you have a t v show to that's when you two brains i have a you tube channel ok and where i film what i call healthy habits and we're going to talk about some of those healthier coat i hope they haven't and these are things that aren't so i think of health and wellness as a luxury really the luxury yeah ok the lock sure you give yourself and you can give it to yourself every single day yes small choices that you make so my healthy habits are not they are things that you can incorporate into your life on a daily basis not overhauling your life the worst thing that happens is ok so let me take you back yes thank you very first new year's eve january first you wake up everyone's got oh all these resolutions what they're going to do and so i got to tell you if you are somebody who has not worked out since bush was in office and really started the beginning of the year hearing about these resolutions the idea of what you can do is introduce one healthy habit into your life on a weekly monthly basis give me an example drinking a gallon of water a day all right now doctor and you it makes your kidneys were and your you know clears out that the fat out of your artery makes our skin smooth and i mean it really makes you more alert yes energy because your blood is circulating through your system right here's the other thing about water i think that a ton of people are eating because they're really they're that people are walking around dehydration and so they're trying to fulfill this this really which is an urge for thirst with food so they're consuming more calories right and which they don't need to do with water and there's also another piece of it so drinking enough water and also eating enough fruits and vegetables which we know has a ton of water and it right it's hydrating your body so water is importance and i would always get the question why how much water and it's a simple calculation take your weight yes your weight that's a friend's weight not my way but show oh wait right then divide that by two and that's the pounds that is right out this what now the other thing is that with water if you are exercising or if you are in or you drink more if you are in and high elevation you need to drink more high is the break the fast that's right so from dinner to when you wake up your body has been naturally fasting right and repairing itself while you sleep your organs have slowed down so that they could you know the toxins ha been pushing themselves out hopefully all that water that you've been drinking is a push in so when you wake up in the morning your body wants to break that that ok give me a good recipe ok so you know ok so you know my favorite breakfast is  stuff in it exec we don't need so i use allman butter that's been that i go to go to any i won't name any stores but go to any type that has organic food foods and you can strawberries or a couple of blueberries although blueberries will make yours through the clumpy so if you do a couple who berries you gotta add a little bit more water both or you do a couple strawberries a banana for the potassium right and the smoothing and the smoothness right i do a couple of greens piece the same and because it has the same omega three s in there and then whatever fruit you might have on hand i like an avocado which is a fruit we have one of those here in ireland avocado i like i think i'm some other berries you got mango you can put in there ok you can do that frozen or then after that you put a couple of ice on top ok and then also finally i use greek yogurt in my smoothies so i love whole fat greek yogurt because a it's a great natural probiotic right it i have developed a way that you can drink this on the go right and the other great thing about a smoothie is that it is one of the best ways to get a job i don't take a multi vitamin i drink smoothies in the morning i believe because i get my vitamins my m minerals my antioxidants i think that everyone should be getting anywhere from eight to twelve servings of fruits and vegetables a day it's almost impossible to do that if you're just trying to just and it's a thing yet there as right actually right so sort of in a blender mix it up make up and go full complete breakfast where carbohydrates everything so would you recommend with smoothies that you make them in the morning or can we make them at night because you know in the morning out the door you get the care yeah you know so so two things a great question and the one thing you can do is you can take you can make this movies ahead of time and freeze them in ice cubes reason and ice cubes immediately ask you make thing you can use to make me use my ice cube tray it's good right and i can go buy the larger ice cool trays so that you have got like large squares all different sizes to do that the other thing great tip you can do is the beginning of the week tight on time you know you can do it as you can just put the fruits and vegetables in a bag right as your water your yogurt and your i just you know you've got to figure out what works so here's the key to wellness health and wellness as you know because  is you've got to figure out what works for you right like everybody does these the same toothbrushes nothing now ever is just not it's and we don't all the and so not my formula may not work for you and your lifestyle and how much time you have right now and what your morning routine is so you've got to play with it a little bit ok nobody had my makeup artist says this to me nobody can create your self care ritual but you that's it oh i've known you know that evaluate that for you we can help other  to look a certain way and then they worry about what see now i'm sweaty think smelly and i got to go somewhere else yeah and i know i read on one of your blogs that you gotta change but you just keep going i keep it movin ok because you don't get your workout into your day yet so i wake up so i because i work from home right i've got a flexible schedule but every but the but the challenge of that is every day is different right so i wake up in the morning and i look at my schedule and i say when can i work out today  not not can i workout today when i workout today ok and i fitted and whether it's at eleven pm at night or it's right at six o'clock in the morning before it before it takes off so i think about when and if it's going to be in the middle of the day what i will do is you know i'll figure i am i going to take a bar class or yoga class that day because i don't want to walk around with tennis shoes and then explain of our class carol you know oh i got to take you to a bar class though i came here to see you  really tiny movements and like burn it out oh good so you you pulse in a squat into you cannot paul anymore and then you stretch it out oh that's great it's great i can't wait but the wonderful thing about it is you don't need shoes all you need is what i have on and a pair of socks so these stocks have grips on the bottom of them oh right there if you like you put them on that was a brave oh we'll oh this is really nice and it's grip on the bottom so in your tote in your work to perfect for post workout right you're twenty it makes you push you know you look chic right to gather this vast vast or wonderful work out ok you can get this in down i mean that's coming down the coming for and thing laughter what's great about it is that it's versatile so if it was so it's one hundred degrees outside right this would be fine right right but if it was in the form all right i could put this on right under the vest ok right there was in the winter put on a leather jacket on to the vest right you put on a little bit of a warmer hat and tote comment every price point this is a nice this is a summer job that i don't know where i picked up from but we can find out  because this picks up so many different colors ok and it's a it's picking up the pink in the pan ok you've got this green collar them up in here ok i might even put on a pop of like really red lipstick or a what whenever i see them on sale i think that they are the most versatile piece that you can own in your wardrobe you can throw these on over anything right particularly working out i love to feel a white button down from my husband's side of the club we don't like talking on the phone one of those people where you know i just don't like when i'm around the house and i'm writing so what i do is a lot and i do a lot of cardio i took a girl i just turned forty and april oh you look fabulous and to keep the great microphone on i call my dad i call my family i catch up on phone calls i have quick phone calls on actually doing my cardio multitask so i do that a couple times a week and so i actually tell people i do cardio five days a week where i important right and i like the fact that it covers my ears and blocks out of the older noise and sounds right as really up so these these work well for me but your guys work i mean you don't get fancy with the right to find a pair this comfortable in your ear doesn't fall out and th so one to two if i can add is your workout sneakers or your workout sneakers the i add they are not going to grocery store sneak they're not going to pick up the kids your workout think is the single event but i have one cab yet for that  except when you travel the when you travel right you have a pair workout sneakers that you can both walk around in and work out in your will and you can certainly say for the same man i got some people also choose between a cute that so what i do is i have you know i get a crisp white pair every every summer when i want to travel but i love these because these are cross fit shoes right so they're for a variety of activities so you recommend a cross  yes or for travel yeah a lot yeah and i also recommend it for kind of just daily working out unless you're a runner like if you were running i'm gone you should go to a store and get fitted yet a running shoe yes like you should get on the treadmill get a look at your pro nation yell your footfalls you know where you're putting your weight on your toes or your heels right you get fitted for a running shoe right if you are not a runner right you should get a cross fit type shoe training type shoes you can use for rides only working out except when you travel except when you try definitely all out and i do all of that switching one is also a great time to clean out your closet yes remove clutter get rid of all those old magazines the magazines that are six months old that are you i think a closet space means the clutter mine yes i  every now and then more now than then right jacki where can we find all of your great
