check all my sound up Iwouldn’t want to missyou’re cute all right so todayhis way of introducing you to the ideaof soaking your brain so the firstrecipe were gonna make is my oatmealbanana pancakes and what I have done isyou see this is a sort of a gloppymixture but it’s because I soaked myoats overnight oatmeal is the criticalpart of this recipeand I’ve also soaked but flax so whenyou can see the little brown bits in thepancake mix looks can you see thatyep and can you see that over there I’mdoing thisyou gotta soak those seeds otherwisethey just don’t do a good job for youbut lays I have a little tip ELISA knowit’s good for men too but ladies flaxseed flax seed is exceptionally good forall kinds of menopausal symptoms and ifyou can get yourself up to threetablespoons a day of the gold and notbrown you will help yourself quite a bitwith those hormonal hot flashes andthings that happen as our lives changefrom being fertile to not so so let’snot be scared about that let’s justhandle it with flax seed and lots ofother fun stuff okay so the first partof the recipe is I have to mash twobananas now I have some super ripebananas so I pushed it all up mush mushmush it’s pretty liquidy and I broughtall these ingredients to roomtemperature let me make sure my pan isbehaving too that’s kind of fun kids canmake that now I love adding bananabecause there’s sweetness but also tonsof fiber so the kitchen witch will getthe dirty dishes that’s melater okay next thing is we’re gonna putin this two and a half cups of oatmealsoaked overnight just in water and thenI drained it a bit and I’ve got in herealso so I’m just gonna go plop I’ll showyou that mixture in just a minuteit’s pretty mushy this whole thing therewe go good and now we have to add nowdiscussion about eggs okay we’re goingto add whole eggs I know a lot of youand there was a day where I did to useonly[Music]I use whole eggs because you actuallycan’t absorb the protein from the eggwhite without the fat so let me justcrack this egg without making a messno there so I have I might just there sothere’s a really good lovely yellowyellow organic I don’t want to drop thaton my computer that’s on my computer fory’all so yes we want the whole thing inthere there’s a lot of nutrientsparticularly vitamin D in there andvitamin D by the way for any of youinterested in helping out your immunesystem a little bit helps make everyillness they’re all cause symptoms andall cause disease less intense if youtake lovely drops of vitamin D every dayokay what do we want in here we’re gonnaadd some flaxseedno I already do vaccine I lied a littlevanilla I think a little vanilla and Iam organic kind tastes better doesn’thave that awful I was a little bit jamtight there I just throw it in thereand I’m gonna add a little bit of almondmeal so about 3/4 of a cup of almondmeal I use so much almond meal I justput it in a container like because thisis the basis also for my paleo breadright oh shoot questions that you mayhave and this is what’s happening in thebowl okay so it’s getting a good alittle stir and you’re getting a niceand it’s kind of sick and you can’treally somehow you know for me pancakesyou can’t really know because you’rejust kinda like throwing a bunch ofmushy stuff together and then as long asyour pan is good and hot we always knowthe first panic is always a bit of athrow away now I’m using a bit of myfavorite cooking oil in the pan becauseit has a very high smoke point oh youcan’t see that can you therelet me see there that better okay I’musing that kind of coconut oil any kindof coconut oil would be good preferablynot in plastic notice that’s the glassyou don’t want to absorb all the BPA’sfrom plastic okay so my pan is not quitehot enough get your pan good and hot andwhile they’re waiting for it tocooperatebecause I had a really scary dayyesterday true confessions trueconfessions of the quarantine AMA so Iwas all set to do my live workout withkettlebells I’m really lovingkettlebells and having a good time withthose and I was all set to do it and Ichecked in on my mother who’s 84 and shewas sick very sick like when I heard hervoice and then she started talking shewas actually delirious she was confusedand it did not look good and I asked herwhat her symptoms were she was chattingaway with me oh the pans hot you canhear the sizzle and was was losingconsciousness as we were speaking sothankfully I have my lovely wonderfulamazing daughter Rachel who I calledquickly in on the phone because we did athree-way I’m so technical and yeahthere was a real scare that one hadcoded the virus she doesn’t she doesn’tbut I will tell you it highlight for methe reality of this virus and the thingswe can do to keep us healthy to keep thepeople happy and for memuch of this much of this it’s in thekitchen with food like this and takingthe extra steps to soak the grains soakthe flax seedaudience get-get the kinds ofingredients like this coconut oil thathelp fight its antiviral it’s one of thefew fats that’s antiviral do your ownsaying to hear what its antiviral so youcan use that as a moisturizer you canuse it as a makeup remover but you canuse it in your diet as I’m using inespada pay attention hereoh it’s smelling good you know but it’sthe basis of I’m gonna show you thepancakes in a minute my certainty rightnow they’re gonna slide over the panthat’s it um but anyway if you have thisarsenal of healthy foods that you’rejust whistle and they’re already in yourdiet they’re already in your body thisis the part where you’re not going toput a lot of pressure on the healthcaresystem with a broken immune system wehave to do everything we can to keep ourin systems in tact and that means weneed to give them super fuels and ourimmune systems can get damaged bysomething called the pitsyou know the pizza I tell you it’s courtactionstop lack of sleep and those are thethings that can really I wrote a blogabout that you might find it interestingthose are the things that really damageour immune system and when we can’t whenwe have all those things in place allthat stress to our body all thatbrokenness how are we ever gonna fightthese right right sugar is just one ofthose things that really knocks yourimmune system up you’ve heard me saythis before okay yes I think it’s gonnabe for dinner they’re cooking now I’mgonna make one more pancake recipe thesepancakes are just having a little simmerhere but in the meantime what I’m doingis I am i noticed when i talked aboutpancakes earlier there was a bigdiscussion about what kind of syrup toput on and all that jazz first of all idon’t put syrup on pancakesunless it’s maple syrup and ocularfavorite but it needs to be a reallygood quality oh my god i always get thiswrong here we go that needs to be areally can you see that kinship but itneeds to be a really good dark coloredgrade a maple syrup so i do that butwhat i really prefer is to make a berrysauce with frozen berries and why i’mgonna just turn the heat up on theberries why i like that so much isbecause I like my berries with mybreakfast so that’s an opportunity atbreakfast time to go ahead and make anice berry sauce there we go getting upsmoking in here so those pancakes arejust gonna go here on a side plate andand or throw it on the counter as I justdid that’s okay we’re gonna turn I havea small kitchen what can I say and andwhat we’re gonna do now is I’m going tosqueeze a lemon into my berry sauce forcomes in super handy now I shot thatinto the other pant did here comes insuper handy at this time for pumping upour immune system so I’m going to addthat to the berry sauce berry sauce sofar only has a cup and a half of berriesand a little bit of water and some lemonjuice I’m going to let that that’s thegrape Rosemary’s isit’s who knows I mean who knows what’shappening in the next two or three weeksbut having frozen berries in stock inyour refrigerator is there in yourfreezer is awesome for your pancakesright so I keep these on hand berriesand also mango how delicious is mangoright so you can make a nice berry sauceand you can flavor it if you want towith things like lemon juice but whatyou want is to get it to a good boil onthe stove and it’ll get syrupy as itcooks so that’s pretty awesome now we’regonna make it you should see the messI’m making over here so now we’re goingto make the second pancake recipebecause you want to have choices putthat over here and the next one is gonnabe cottage cheese pancakes and thisrecipe thing couldn’t be any moreridiculously easy okay so we havecottage cheese 1 cup this is a threeingredient recipe are you ready for itso it’s cheese 1 cup of soaked oats getin there done and now I’ve got to addeggs right so the berries are

six eggs wholeeggs because you again you need the fatto experience you can’t an egg white itdoesn’t work if it actually it’sridiculous it’s like you’re eating theprotein and without the fat you might aswell not even bother eating the endbecause you’re just not getting any ofthe good stuff okay so I’m just gonnawipe my hands there we go for this oneI’m gonna put a little bit of vanilla inand some
