Moment 147: Stop These Habits That Are Destroying Your Body!: Mindy Pelz

What do you mean by opening up our detox pathways?

Mindy Pelz (0:05)

Yeah. So if you look at our lymph system, which is what? The lymph is like, people know lymph nodes because when you get sick, you can feel them.

Steven Bartlett (0:13)

Mumps.

Mindy Pelz (0:14)

Yeah. So the lymph is always carrying toxins out of organs. So the liver has a lymph pathway, the gut has lymph nodes in there that are going to pull all the toxins that are in there and move them out of you. So we need to keep these lymph pathways open. So the gut is a great one. You should be having a bowel movement every single day. If you're not having a bowel movement every single day, then what the body is trying to get rid of is staying inside of you, and it gets congested. A thing we teach women about the armpit, and actually would work for men too, is that you should have a pit, not a puff.

If it's a puff, like look in the mirror, and if your armpit is a puff, then that's stagnant lymph. It means that you're not pulling the toxins for women that are coming out of her breasts are not getting out. Toxins that are coming out from the head down into the thoracic area is not getting out because it's congested.

Steven Bartlett (1:11)

So if your underarm is puffy and not like a pit, then you might be storing some of those toxins.

Mindy Pelz (1:18)

That's right. They're not moving. They're not mobilizing.

Steven Bartlett (1:21)

Why aren't they? Am I blocking my pathways?

Mindy Pelz (1:23)

Yeah, the pathway is blocked.

Steven Bartlett (1:25)

So with what?

Mindy Pelz (1:26)

Well, there's the question. I feel like people are going to leave this podcast to be so depressed because there's so many pieces of this, but deodorant clogs that up. So it doesn't mobilize all of the toxins out. This was a big thing with breast cancer, is a lot of women using toxic deodorants. They weren't getting the toxins out of the breast and it was clogging in the armpit because of the toxins from the deodorant.

Steven Bartlett (1:51)

That explains why we sweat in that area, right? Because it's a pathway.

Mindy Pelz (1:55)

Why do we even have hair in that area?

Steven Bartlett (1:57)

I don't know. You tell me.

Mindy Pelz (1:58)

It's a detox. It's for detoxing. It's to help get those toxins out.

Steven Bartlett (2:03)

Also the molecules go down the hair.

Mindy Pelz (2:05)

Yeah. Yeah. What do women do?

Steven Bartlett (2:08)

Shave it off.

Mindy Pelz (2:08)

That's right.

Steven Bartlett (2:09)

So you're saying?

Mindy Pelz (2:13)

I shave just because I can't walk. It's just not in my nature. But you know what I do is I have a loofah in my shower, and I just loofah under my arms whenever I shower to open up those pathways.

Steven Bartlett (2:26)

What's a loofah?

Mindy Pelz (2:27)

It's like a little organic sponge.

Steven Bartlett (2:29)

Okay. It scrubs it.

Mindy Pelz (2:30)

Yeah. It scrubs it.

Steven Bartlett (2:31)

We also have pubic hair.

Mindy Pelz (2:33)

We also have pubic hair. We are getting toxins out from the ovaries. The ovaries are the major area and testes. This is where hormones are being produced. So as they're coming out, they are supposed to influence everything. Biologically, we need them to influence. But then they're also supposed to get out of our system. And so the hair ends up becoming like this way that we can mobilize the toxins out of us.

Steven Bartlett (2:59)

I never knew or asked why I grow hair under my arms and in the pubic region. No one ever told me about that. No one ever... I never questioned it. I thought it was slightly inconvenient.

Mindy Pelz (3:12)

Yes. Well, it is, for sure.

Steven Bartlett (3:14)

But the body doesn't do anything to inconvenience you. No. It does it to increase your chances of survival. Because I'm the by-product of millions of years of survival of the fittest and evolution has made me pruned, a sculpted to survive. It's funny because we spend so much of our time, and this goes back to the conversation around sugar. We spend and just weight loss and all these things. We live in a world where we think that our body is against us.

Mindy Pelz (3:39)

Right.

Steven Bartlett (3:40)

It's fighting us. It's making me go for the sugar drawer. It's stopping me losing weight.

It's growing all these pubes.

Mindy Pelz (3:47)

Right. Inconvenient.

Steven Bartlett (3:49)

Yeah. Then we fight it. We shave it off and we do all these crazy things to fight against our body. But our body is very much, it's actually for us. Many of the things we're choosing to do are against us. We are against ourselves, not our bodies. Our bodies cannot put a foot wrong.
