2:11>> Hello everyone, my name is Sita Yadi. I
2:14am based in Ireland to be precise.
2:17I got to know about inner circle through
2:20a friend and ever since then I've been

2:24fortunate to come across the platform
2:26before I had my [music] first daughter
2:28and I'm so so grateful for being in a
2:30system that will teach you about
2:33structure.
2:34When I had my child I had to resign from
2:36job because for my job because I know
2:38there are better ways to parents but I
2:40just don't know how to go about it.
2:41Inner Circle made me understand that you
2:43can be a stay-at-home [music] mom. Be
2:44there for your kids because I need to
2:46maximize my window of opportunity with
2:48my kids which I was meant to know in
2:50[music] inner circle. Anyway, I got to
2:52know about business. I got to know about
2:54finance. I got to know about how to
2:55manage money in inner seco. I got to
2:58know about how to communicate better
2:59[music]
3:00with my husband. It made me to learn how
3:03to manage my time. In is a [music] place
3:06to be for everybody.
3:08It's a place to be. If you want to

8:41way while cultivating a healthy family
8:44lifestyle. Please make [music] welcome
8:46to the intentional parent conference
8:492026.
8:52[music]
9:02>> Welcome.
9:06>> You're welcome.
9:10>> You're welcome. M you have the stage
9:12now.
9:13>> Oh, awesome. Okay, fantastic. So, I just
9:16had a quick question before I get
9:17started. Do I share my slides or can
9:20everyone see my slide deck?
9:25Oh, awesome, awesome, awesome.
9:28Fantastic. All right. So, it's an
9:30absolute pleasure to be here. Um, I've
9:33listened to a couple of the sessions and
9:35absolutely mindblowing. So much
9:38information is being taught here. I hope
9:40that you people are learning and I hope
9:42that you are not just absorbing
9:44information but you're implementing
9:45right away. Um 40 speakers is not a
9:48joke. There's a lot of dedication, a lot
9:51of passion that goes into this for them
9:52to have gathered everyone here to be
9:54able to educate you on different aspects
9:56of understanding the throne that is in
9:58your hands. Um today I am not going to
10:02waste any time. I like to open up the
10:03room for for questions. Um, and so I'm
10:06going to go straight into the topic of
10:08the day, which is feeding the brain.
10:10Now, we've had multiple speakers address
10:12nutrition in different facets,
10:14especially when it comes to feeding the
10:15brain, right? My focus today is going to
10:18be on the nutritional strategies for
10:19academic excellence in children. I mean,
10:22we want our children to be allrounders
10:24and academics is not not going to be
10:28left out. So, let's get started.
10:32Okay, before I get into the meat of the
10:35topic of today, I have a quick question
10:37for you. How many times have you changed
10:40your children's school, hired lesson
10:43teachers, or bought another workbook
10:46chasing academic excellence for your
10:49child. I'm not just talking about maybe
10:52just one child, you're still figuring it
10:53out. I'm talking about um different
10:56phases of your child's life, especially
10:57for parents who are on this um who are
10:59with me today that have had children in
11:02different age brackets, right? I've I
11:05work with a lot of children, a lot
11:07thousands of them. And academic
11:09excellence is always in the back burner
11:11because it's not a conversation parents
11:13are proud to have it have to have,
11:15right? They don't always want to talk
11:17about it. They just want to know, okay,
11:18how do I get them to eat better? How do
11:20I fix this? How do I fix that? But the
11:22truth of the matter is this academic
11:26excellence, having a child that is
11:28excelling in all aspects of studies is
11:31one thing parents actually genuinely
11:33ashamed to talk about because the last
11:35thing they want to hear is that my child
11:36is not smart enough or my child is is
11:38not doing well in school because
11:40majority of the time
11:43um
11:45majority of the time
11:48you you want to ensure that
11:52they are doing well in school. If
11:54nothing else is working, at least let
11:56them be doing well in school, right? And
11:58if that one isn't working really, it
12:00brings a lot of parents down. I find
12:02that majority I find that a lot of the
12:04times um parents struggle with the
12:07foundation of nutrition. And once you
12:10don't get the foundation right, it makes
12:13it really, really, really difficult to
12:16keep them going for the rest of their
12:18lives. And I'm not just talking about
12:20like as a child because your child will
12:22remain your child even in their 40s,
12:23even in their 50s, right? Um, but what
12:26happens is when you don't get that
12:28foundation right and it's a very small
12:29window. That's the unfortunate thing. I
12:32feel like when I talk to parents and I
12:34emphasize please win well or please feed
12:37well or please make sure you are giving
12:40them the right things in the early
12:41stages. It seems so trivial but it's
12:45it's the bedrock. It's the foundation. A
12:49man cannot build a foundation on sand
12:50and expect the building to continue to
12:52stand for years and years. Right? So if
12:55you don't get this window, and I'm doing
12:57my hand like this so you can see how
12:58small it is. 5 years versus 40 years is
13:01a big difference. But that's all you
13:03get. That is all you get. The brain is
13:06done at age five. Everything else after
13:09that age is maintainers. I always like
13:11to use this phrase that feeding children
13:14is for development and growth and
13:17feeding for an adult is survival and
13:19maintenance. So if you don't get it in
13:21the very early stage then there is zero
13:23opportunity for survival and maintenance
13:25because what are we surviving on? What
13:27are you maintaining? Right? It's like
13:29driving a car that the tires are weak.
13:32No matter how badly you are maintaining
13:34that car, no matter how badly you're
13:36maintaining those tires, eventually
13:38you're going to have to change them. you
13:39don't get a second brain. There's only
13:42going to be one. And if you don't get
13:44the foundation right, you'll be patching
13:46leaks for the rest of that child's life.
13:49So, I wanted to lay that foundation for
13:51us today.
13:54So, we've talked about 0 to 5. So, from
13:58the moment you conceive to the moment
14:01your child gets to age five, that's the
14:04window. So, notice how I didn't say from
14:06the moment you gave birth. I said from
14:08the moment of conception. So this is not
14:11even about oh how was mommy's pregnancy
14:13or how did mommy carry the baby. No from
14:15the moment mom and dad come together to
14:17decide that they want to have a child.
14:20That is where brain function matters.
14:23What dad is eating, what dad wears, what
14:26mom is eating, what mom wears, where you
14:29live, how you breathe. I remember during
14:32a consultation I had a mom who had five
14:34children. Um, and all five had different
14:38dietary concerns, but the last one was
14:41the one she came to see me for. And
14:43during the consultation, I kept staring
14:46at her. And she had to stop and ask me,
14:48"What? Why are you staring at me like
14:49that?" I was like, "I want to be like,
14:51yo, you've lived in so many countries."
14:53[snorts] And she was like, "Yeah, she
14:54has." But then I said, "I also don't
14:57want to be like you." And I'll tell you
14:58why. When you move around a lot and you
15:01are not conscious of how you eat, every
15:04single time you you are pregnant or
15:07every single time you conceive a child,
15:09the development of that child is going
15:11to be very different. Right? The
15:13genetics, their epigenetics, their DNA
15:16is completely different and the
15:18environment for which you conceive the
15:19child and carry that pregnancy do has a
15:22major part to play. So it's not just
15:25about when you've given birth and start
15:27feeding. What you do before you even
15:30conceive makes the world of a difference
15:32right now. How well their brain grows
15:36again dependent on the conception up to
15:385 years. How they think what you feed
15:41the brain both in food and in materials
15:44and in education makes a difference. How
15:47they will retain the information that
15:50one is another topic for a different
15:51day. how they will then take that
15:54information that you've provided and
15:55allow them to perform is also part of
15:59what feeding is. So if you don't get
16:02feeding right in the first 5 years, I'm
16:06emphasizing this again. If you don't get
16:09feeding right in the first 5 years, you
16:12are setting your child up for failure.
16:15And I don't think that is anything any
16:17loving parent, anybody in the tip family
16:20wants to do.
16:23So, let's talk about the first 10,00.
16:26I'm sure you've heard this 110 times
16:30over this entire conference, especially
16:32from um child development specialists,
16:35from nutritionists, from doctors. You've
16:36heard it a thousand years over, but I
16:38want to shift our conversation to
16:40something that I feel we may not always
16:42be addressing, which is the CNS and the
16:45ENS. So these two are systems in your
16:49body that love each other. They can't do
16:52without each other. The world didn't
16:54start acknowledging their relationship
16:56until maybe about 20 years ago or 30
16:58years ago, but they cannot do without
17:00each other. Now what's the CNS and the
17:02ENS? The CNS is the central nervous
17:04system and the ENS is the entic nervous
17:07system. Entic means your intestines,
17:10your digestive system, your intestinal
17:12system, right? and the central nervous
17:14system means your brain, your spinal
17:16cord, and all the nerves that are
17:17surrounding your child's body. These two
17:20have such a lovely unconditional
17:23relationship just like you and a spouse
17:25will have or you and your child are
17:26expected to have or how God loves us,
17:28right? He feeds us and we're able to
17:31feed others. That's how the CNS and the
17:33ENS work. If for some reason they are
17:37not able to communicate effectively with
17:39each other, there will be problems. 200
17:42to 600 million neurons live in your gut.
17:46So, not here and not in your spinal cord
17:48and not in the nerves that run
17:50throughout your entire body. Literally
17:52in the digestive system. 200 to 600.
17:55Now, on the on the grand scheme of
17:57things, um it doesn't seem like a lot
17:59cuz we have over 26 billion neurons
18:01running throughout our body. But you
18:03know what it is for 200 to 600 of those
18:05things to live only in the stomach
18:06region.
18:08[laughter]
18:09Let me paint you a picture. So you are
18:12living in a house and you have 10
18:14bedrooms in your house. Typically you're
18:17only going to sleep in one, right? You
18:19have guests. Now if one of those rooms
18:22magot enters the whole house is going to
18:25be infested. That is what those 200600
18:29um million means. I'll repeat that
18:32again. If you have 10 rooms in your
18:34house and you're only going to live in
18:36one of those rooms, you might never even
18:38enter some of those rooms for weeks and
18:40months. But if Margot enters one of
18:43those rooms, the entire house is going
18:45to be infested.
18:48That is what those 2006 600 million
18:50neurons in the gut represent. They
18:52represent one room in your 10 room
18:55house. And if something goes wrong, if
18:57the nutrients are not adequate, if the
18:59nutrients are not um um absorbed
19:01properly, if the nutrients are not
19:04getting to the right areas of that
19:05system, the rest of the body is going to
19:08suffer. Now, 1 million neurons are made
19:12connected and formed every second in the
19:15first three years of life. So in those
19:17first three years that's where the bulk
19:19of the building happens in the nervous
19:21system and that's where some of those
19:23neurons that form in the gut are also
19:25established. Now from conception again
19:28to age two that's one of our most
19:30critical windows. That's when you hear
19:32things like the stubborn um the terrible
19:35tools. They are throwing so many
19:37tantrums. You're not communicating.
19:39That's because probably what you are
19:41feeding or what you fed yourself before
19:43you had the child is beginning to
19:45manifest itself. Um, one of the set of
19:48people that I always consult with are
19:50parents that have developmental delays
19:52or parents with children with
19:53developmental delays. And one of the
19:55things I always emphasize on is when
19:57there's a fear of a particular focus on
20:01something being the cause of why that
20:03child has a developmental delay. And
20:05something I always say to them is that's
20:08not realistic because if a bucket was
20:10broken in the beginning and you keep
20:12filling it with water, it's not the last
20:14drop that will break the bucket. The
20:16bucket was not strong to begin with. And
20:18that's how this idea of not getting the
20:21most critical window to be effective
20:23happens because the bucket was not
20:26strong from the moment you pushed out.
20:28So why are we assuming that one drop is
20:32going to be what breaks the bucket?
20:34Bucket didn't have the capacity. Let's
20:36build children that have capacity. The
20:39world is not a safe place anymore. If
20:43you don't feed your children, right?
20:45They are parasympathetic
20:46nervous system, right? Which is the
20:48nervous system that tells them to calm
20:51down, think through, reason, have
20:53critical thinking will not function
20:55effectively. They won't be able to make
20:57decisions. Some of the things you're
20:58learning in tape will not be able to
21:00register in their brains. You will keep
21:02repeating it a hundred times. even if
21:03that child is a 100 years. So please
21:07please take that 0 to2 years 0 to 5
21:10years very seriously. I'm a mom of two
21:14and I made a lot of sacrifices in the
21:18initial stages of my children's lives.
21:20My I've been a parent for a decade now
21:23and in the very first couple of years it
21:26looked like I was doing too much. Even
21:28at the time my husband would say you
21:31it's okay it's okay. So I don't know why
21:33you are complaining about this and but I
21:34knew what I was looking for and today
21:37I'm reaping the benefits of those
21:39sacrifices I made in the early on
21:40stages. When I meet other parents with
21:42children who are similar to my my my
21:45children's ages, there's always a clear
21:47difference. even for for one of my
21:49children that had um um eczema and so
21:52many other things. I know the sacrifices
21:54I had to make and the changes that I had
21:56to subject her to that even now she is
21:59even now making some more conscious
22:01decisions for herself and for her own
22:02body that I know as she gets older will
22:05continue to live with her right again
22:08take those first five years it's not
22:10don't just see it as oh this is a baby
22:12they will still learn no take those five
22:14years seriously it's a critical window
22:16right
22:18now let's look at statistics and reality
22:21because it's one thing to say take it
22:23seriously. Let's see what happens when
22:25we don't take it seriously. So these
22:27statistics are what are presented and
22:29recorded on a regular basis by UNICEF.
22:31So I wanted to emphasize that this is
22:33not just health health statistics. These
22:36are education statistics, right? Um 32%
22:40of children under the age of five are
22:43stunted. What does that mean? It means
22:46that even though they are eating the
22:47food is not really doing anything. You
22:49know it's one thing to eat. It's another
22:51thing to absorb. is another thing to
22:53digest. Three different things are
22:55occurring in the body, right? And 32% of
22:58children are not able to do digestion
23:01and absorption the way that the body is
23:03designed, the way that it's supposed to
23:05do it effectively. What does that look
23:08like realistically in a class of 100
23:10children in a class of 100 children,
23:14right? 30% of them, 30 children in that
23:18class are going to be stunted under the
23:21age of five. Now, for those that live
23:23abroad, that's before kindergarten. For
23:26those that are in Nigeria, that's that's
23:28about primary one. So, before primary
23:30one, 30 children out of a 100 children
23:32that are going to school are not
23:34absorbing nutrients and digesting those
23:36nutrients. One of those 30 children
23:38could be yours. 17% exclusive
23:42breastfeeding rate in Nigeria.
23:44I don't even know whether to be angry or
23:46to be surprised because it's such a
23:48horribly poor number, right? Even for a
23:51country where I've listened to horrible
23:54experiences of moms in hospitals with
23:56breastfeeding, experiences where they
23:57they were forced to breastfeed or things
23:59happened. It's such a low and horrible
24:02number. We need to do better. There
24:04needs to be better advocacy for
24:06breastfeeding. There needs to be better
24:08support for breastfeeding. There needs
24:10to be you need to be your brother's
24:12keeper, your sister's keeper when it
24:13comes to breastfeeding. And don't just
24:15say things like, "Oh, um, breastfeed
24:18your child." Right? Don't just say
24:20things like that. Um, I need you to say
24:23things like, "How can I help you
24:25breastfeed better?" "What can I give you
24:27to help your child breastfeed better?"
24:29"What are the foods that I can give you
24:31that will help your child breastfeed
24:33better? How can I support you to
24:35breastfeed better?" Those are the kind
24:36of things that we need to do in terms of
24:38advocacy. 80% of children between 6 to
24:4123 months get minimum diet.
24:44You parents spend money
24:48money on clothes, on shoes, on the best
24:52imported everything on the best imported
24:57um I don't even know the best imported
25:00everything.
25:02Some of you travel and you have a
25:05truckload of things that you came back
25:06with. I've sat in in consultation rooms
25:09and sometimes I'll ask parents to bring
25:11what they are feeding their children.
25:13Now when I say that, when I make that
25:15statement, I want them to bring me a
25:17piece of paper, you know, because
25:19sometimes you might not be able to bring
25:20the jelloof fries you cooked or the yam
25:21porridge you cooked or the potato
25:23porridge you cooked. No, sometimes
25:25people will walk into my office with
25:28shelves and cartoons.
25:31And I want to share a little bit of um
25:34information with you. Some of you may
25:36know this, some of you might not know
25:37this. Um in order for somebody to
25:40package something especially um in
25:43developing countries
25:45um they to reduce preservation they dry
25:49and they have to fortify. They overly
25:52process and then refortify so that the
25:55things that they took out they can add
25:57back. When you eat five things that have
26:00been fortified, it's a calculated
26:03measurement, right? And when something
26:06is a calculated measurement, the body
26:08can only take so much of it or take
26:10excess of it. When we eat naturally,
26:13when you eat raw
26:17natural, you know, things that come out
26:19of the ground more often, the body
26:21understands it a bit better and knows
26:23how to decipher what goes where. But
26:26when everything is constantly packaged,
26:28and packaging doesn't necessarily mean
26:30biscuit and and cookies and chocolate.
26:32No, packaging can be that cereal that
26:35you are so proud about. Packaging can be
26:38that product you bought from a
26:40well-known influencers page that you are
26:42so proud about, right? And it will
26:46subject your child to a calculated
26:49measure of nutrients. And when it is a
26:52calculated measure of nutrients, the
26:54risk of oversupplementation,
26:56not by supplements. Now notice I'm not
26:58talking about supplements. over
27:00supplementation from the food that they
27:02are eating will cause problems for you.
27:04I've run lab work for children and their
27:06potassium levels are screaming through
27:07the roof and nothing is wrong with their
27:09kidneys. Yet I've run labs for children
27:13and their iron level levels are in the
27:15gutter. Meanwhile, everything you are
27:17eating is 45 this,
27:19extra DHA, extra vitamin C, extra this,
27:22extra that. You need to be careful when
27:25it comes to buying packaged things as
27:27much as possible. If it is convenience
27:29you're looking for, right? Try and buy
27:32convenience that require a little bit of
27:34work, maybe a bag of flour, oats flour,
27:38millet flour that is still processing,
27:40but at least you still do a little bit
27:42of work to get it to where it needs to
27:43go. At least some of those nutrients are
27:45still preserved, right? Because that's
27:47why so many children are not like I will
27:49see parents well to do taking care of
27:52their CHILDREN WELL-DRESSED AND I'M like
27:56what's going on here? There's no
27:58difference between you and a
28:00malnourished child in the north. Really?
28:03There's no difference. The only
28:05difference is that you have more money.
28:07But we're not using the money
28:08accurately. Knowledge is more powerful
28:12than any kind of money that you can ever
28:14have. If you want to spend your money on
28:16something, spend it on knowledge. I've
28:18saved parents thousands of dollars just
28:21by sitting on a 30inut conversation
28:24versus them taking that 1,000 and going
28:26into a supermarket.
28:2845% of children's of of child deaths are
28:32linked to malnutrition. Now, you see why
28:34I started off by talking about the
28:36minimal diet, the packaging and all that
28:38because a lot of the times when you
28:39overs supplement, we're talking about a
28:41developing system, right? Especially for
28:43children between the ages of 0 to 5.
28:45It's a developing system. So it's still
28:47trying to figure out what it needs to
28:48do, how it needs to function, what it
28:49needs to understand. How far am I
28:52growing here? How long should I grow?
28:53How short should I grow? Okay, which
28:55gene should I turn on? Should I turn the
28:57body is still trying to there's is it's
29:00like you taking a box of popcorn,
29:02putting it in the microwave, and it's
29:03popping. That's how your child's body is
29:04in the first 0 to 5 years. He's popping
29:06popcorn just pop. Doesn't know what he
29:09needs to do. And if you keep feeding it
29:11the wrong thing, if you keep feeding it
29:15the wrong thing, what will eventually
29:18happen
29:20is that you will end up with bonds
29:23popcorn instead of normal popcorn inside
29:26the child that you are developing. And
29:28we all know that once you popcorn, you
29:30can't repop it. It's done. Right? I'm
29:34using this simple analogy so that it
29:36enters our brain today.
29:41Now, let's talk about how an unhealthy
29:44gut harms learning, right? Because we're
29:46talking about academic excellence. The
29:48first, now what I've done is I've paired
29:51neurotransmitters,
29:53which are
29:55hormones or molecules in the body that
29:59drive certain actions. So, the way the
30:02human body works is this. You eat yum.
30:06Okay? Now the body takes that yam and
30:10divides it and says out of this what do
30:13I need right now? What am I lacking at
30:15this moment? And then it takes carbs
30:19which is in the form of glucose. It's
30:21going to take some fiber if you boiled
30:23your yam with the back. It's going to
30:25take some B vitamins if you boiled your
30:27yam with the back. It's going to take
30:30some um prebiotic fiber. It's going to
30:33take some inulin. you know, take all
30:35those little things and then pass it
30:38into your hormonal system, pass it
30:41through the entic nervous system, send
30:43it on its way and say, "Take these
30:45blocks of information and build what you
30:48need." And that's why we have
30:49neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are
30:52building blocks from nutrients,
30:54primarily protein, but building blocks
30:56of other nutrients. So, that's why I've
30:57paired things together. [snorts] Ion
31:00helps to create dopamine. What is
31:02dopamine? Now, dopamine is primarily
31:05made in your brain which is the central
31:07nervous system. Dopamine is your focus
31:09chemical. If you want to focus,
31:13just focus on something like focus on my
31:15face, focus on the conversation we're
31:17having, your dopamine levels are going
31:19to be depleted quite rapidly. And if you
31:22don't have something to help build it
31:24up, then your focus will be like this.
31:27That's why children who have ADHD, their
31:29dopamine levels when we test them are
31:30low. That's why even right now in the
31:32world because of our doom scrolling,
31:34spending so much time on the internet,
31:36not reading enough, not going outside,
31:37our dopamine dopamine levels are really
31:39low. That's why so many people are more
31:42depressed. That's why so many people are
31:44sad. That's why so many people feel
31:46like, "Oh, I'm better alone." That's why
31:48so many people you have a conversation
31:50with them, their brain is spacking. They
31:52get upset so easily. Dopamine levels
31:54alone. Same thing happens with children.
31:57>> [snorts]
31:57>> Now, if you don't have enough iron to
31:59fuel dopamine, it makes their brain just
32:02travel to I don't know where when you
32:05should be focusing on something. And I
32:07see this happening more and more with a
32:09lot of children after the age of seven.
32:11Now, I'm not part of the tip community.
32:13I'd love I I think after today, I should
32:15probably join you guys. Um, one of the
32:18things I see regularly apart from screen
32:21time is people can't children can't
32:24focus on one thing.
32:26Yeah, they can't focus on one thing.
32:29They're not able to sit and focus on one
32:31particular topic or one particular
32:33conversation. You can't get them to hold
32:35a conversation with you. I want to know
32:38how many people here are able to hold a
32:40conversation with their children for one
32:41hour. Like you just sit with them. You
32:43read with them. They And I'm not even
32:45talking about older children. Now I'm
32:48talking about young children, two year
32:50olds, three year olds, right? I've lived
32:52in three countries and in all the three
32:54countries I've lived in, I find that a
32:56lot of children are consistently
32:58disregulated. They can't focus. You
33:00can't hold a child that is at the age of
33:03two for 30 minutes. You can't hold their
33:05attention. They can't do a puzzle for 30
33:07minutes. They lose focus. They get
33:09angry. They get agitated. You need to
33:12check their iron levels.
33:14Now, sources of iron. I've listed them
33:16out for you. So we have liver, red meat,
33:18fish, beans, ugu, kale, spinach, you
33:21know the works. Now DHA and serotonin,
33:24that's another beautiful combination.
33:26Serotonin, 90% of it is created in your
33:29entic nervous system. You see why I said
33:32they are best friends, the CNS and ENS.
33:35The ENS makes 90% of serotonin through
33:38beneficial bacteria, which we all know
33:40as probiotics. Now, the brain is 60% fat
33:43and uses 90% of the glucose that your
33:46body produces or or the body receives.
33:48And the gut makes 90% of your serotonin,
33:51and it needs DHA to do that. So, we're
33:54no longer just talking about, oh, take
33:55DHA because good fats are good for your
33:58brain. Take DHA because you need it to
34:00to feed the healthy bacteria and you
34:03need it
34:05you need it to be able to do to be able
34:08to build serotonin, right?
34:11If it it literally helps it to travel
34:13along that those different synapses
34:16along the neurons that are moving from
34:18place to place. It helps it to be able
34:20to do that effectively. If it's low,
34:23expect your child to just be screaming
34:25unnecessarily, shouting unnecessarily,
34:28banging the walls, having a full-on
34:31tantrum, not being able to sit down and
34:33and regulate themselves. Right? children
34:36are are going to cry because they're
34:38still trying to understand life and and
34:40that's okay. But where the child cannot
34:44regulate like after crying for 30
34:46minutes, they're still hyperventilating,
34:47they're still angry, they're still
34:48upset, they're still throwing a tantrum,
34:50something's going on with the amount of
34:52serotonin their body is producing, and
34:54that's primarily because their gut
34:55health is not good.
34:58Choline and acetylcholine.
35:01Now, choline builds the brain's memory
35:04glue. What does that mean? It means that
35:07when I receive information, it sticks. I
35:11always have a running joke with my
35:13husband where I say, "You can't have an
35:15argument with me and win." And the
35:17reason is because I remember where you
35:18were standing when I told you what you
35:20said and where you were sitting. And I
35:22have a very photographic memory. So, I
35:23may not be able to remember all the
35:25words on the line, but I can I can see
35:27where that image was or where those
35:29words were on a book and I can pick it
35:31up. And that's something I'm teaching my
35:33children. I don't need you to memorize.
35:35I don't need you to cram. I need you to
35:37have visualization. And that requires
35:40memory. Because if I can remember the
35:42position something was in, then I can
35:45remember how it might have been phrased,
35:47right? That's what builds academic
35:50excellence. Because in the world we live
35:52in today, nobody cares if you can read
35:55700 pages and spit it out. People want
35:58to know, can you connect the dots in
36:00those 700 pages? People want to know,
36:03can your children take blocks and pieces
36:05on a moving screen and build something
36:07fantastic? When my children were growing
36:09up, one of the the biggest things I did
36:11was Legos because it it helps with math.
36:16It helps with building. It helps with
36:18structural memory and it helps with that
36:20memory and focus. Because in order to
36:22fit pieces together, no matter how small
36:25they are, it requires focus, right? It
36:28requires building memory. and choline
36:30and acetylcholine are important for
36:33that. They go hand in hand. Imagine
36:37telling a child something today and then
36:39tomorrow you need to remind them 100
36:40times, right? It's probably because they
36:42are not focusing the way they should.
36:44Now, I'm not saying that children will
36:46not lose focus. They are children,
36:47right? But it's so so so important that
36:51choline and acetyloline are present. And
36:53the two major sources of it are eggs and
36:56animal source foods. Animal source food
36:58still comes back to liver, meat, fish.
37:02Right now, I know a lot of us loves love
37:06eggs and we love to feed our children
37:08eggs and that's great, but your child
37:10doesn't need to eat three eggs a day
37:11because eggs are not a source of iron.
37:14So, you can be getting all the choline
37:16you like and not getting enough iron.
37:18And iron is also what supports oxygen to
37:20the brain. Imagine starving the brain of
37:22oxygen where you can't breathe
37:23effectively, but you're always giving
37:25eggs. very important to have diversity
37:27in a diet. [snorts] Tryptophan and
37:30melatonin. Melatonin locks the day's
37:32lessons overnight. Melatonin is also
37:36what helps a child knock out fall
37:39asleep. It doesn't help you stay asleep.
37:41You need a different nutrient for that,
37:43but it helps you fall asleep.
37:46It helps you fall asleep. A child that
37:49cannot fall asleep. Like you have a
37:51child lie down and then 10 15 minutes
37:53later they haven't been able to fall
37:55asleep. 30 minutes later they haven't
37:56been able to fall asleep. What are they
37:58thinking? What is your 5-year-old
38:00thinking? What is your 10year-old
38:02thinking? Why is your 10-year-old having
38:05anxious thoughts? Shouldn't those
38:06thoughts be conversations you're having
38:07with them? Why are they under pressure
38:09to remember what was taught in class? It
38:11should just stick into their brain. And
38:13that's what tryptophan and melatonin do
38:16for you. They help that thing to stay in
38:18the head so that when they fall asleep
38:19and they wake up the next morning, they
38:22can spit it out again. Right?
38:25Sources of food will be turkey, eggs,
38:28pumpkin seeds, oats. Pumpkin seeds can
38:30be a goosey or regular pumpkin seeds.
38:33Now, zinc and GABA, GABA, GABA is the
38:37brain calm down um neurotransmitter,
38:41right? And it's made in the gut. So you
38:44see how some of the very important
38:46neurotransmitters that the brain uses is
38:49not happening in the brain. It's
38:51happening in the gut. You see why that
38:53CNS and ENS relationship is so strong?
38:56Because without the the ENS making some
38:59of these neurotransmitters, using the
39:01building blocks or using the nutrients
39:03that are paired with them to do that
39:05effectively, what happens? The CNS
39:08cannot function at its full capacity.
39:10And if the CNS is not transferring
39:13information to the ENS to tell it, look,
39:15I need you to give me more of this. I
39:17need you to have a craving for this. I
39:19need you to eat more of this. That's why
39:21sugar is such a powerful
39:23addiction.
39:25One of one of the highest addictions
39:27beyond hard drugs is sugar.
39:31If you have a child that is hooked on
39:33sugar, you might as well have them
39:34hooked on any other hard drug out there
39:36in the market. There's no difference.
39:39It's just that you don't have enough
39:40money to buy that one. You're buying the
39:41cheaper solution. Really, it's that's
39:44how addictive it is. And it messes with
39:46the central nervous system and messes
39:48with the entic nervous system right now.
39:52Um because GABA helps with calming down.
39:56It's also very important for being able
39:59to get your child to stay in one place.
40:02I go for parties, events, and I see
40:06children and I want to weep because the
40:10singular question I want to ask is why?
40:13Why is it that you when you tell
40:14somebody to sit down, they cannot sit
40:15down? What's the reason for that? What
40:18are we doing at home? You're not feeling
40:20right.
40:22Forget conversations, forget training.
40:25Feed well first. I like I said h I after
40:31this I probably will join the tip
40:33community tip family and get in the ark
40:36but I haven't been there and I've been a
40:37parent for a decade and I can tell you
40:39comfortably that I don't have I didn't
40:41have issues with my children sitting
40:43down in fact I used my eyes to tell them
40:45to sit down I didn't even need to open
40:47my mouth sometimes if I look at you sit
40:49down because I knew how much effort and
40:52energy I spent in feeding the brain in
40:54feeding the central nervous system
40:56because if I can get that foundation.
40:58Every other thing is an add-on. Every
41:00other thing is an add-on. Because if the
41:03brain cannot receive information, how do
41:05you want it to produce an output? How do
41:07you want it to perform? How do you want
41:09it to put things together to take those
41:11things that you're learning from tip to
41:13be able to produce the child that that
41:15you know you have the capacity to the
41:17child that God has given you the
41:18authority
41:20to build, the authority to raise, to be
41:24a part of his army. How are you going to
41:26do that if you don't have the found the
41:28very foundation? If you read multiple
41:30scriptures in the Bible, God used to
41:31tell his children, "Eat first. Go and
41:35eat and eat well."
41:38He did it with the Israelites. He did it
41:40with Elijah. Eat well. Go and eat. Let
41:43me know what he's doing you first. When
41:45you eat, let's now come and have a
41:47conversation.
41:48Let's now have a conversation. Right? So
41:54let's talk about the strategies that are
41:56going to help you be able to do some of
41:58these things and avoid being part of
42:00those percentages I had talked about
42:01earlier. Start complimentary foods at 6
42:04months. I know some people are eager 3
42:06months is too early and I'll tell you
42:09why. So we've talked about the gut,
42:11right? What is the gut?
42:14The gut is this very intricate and wound
42:20system where food passes through and
42:23through its walls. It's able to leap out
42:26into your bloodstream only the nutrients
42:29that the body needs. Now when a child is
42:32developing they have a very loose wall
42:35in their intestinal system. So the way
42:38you and I have a digestive system that
42:39is tightly wound and our walls are this
42:42close together almost only allowing
42:44almost like a a breeze to pass through
42:47your child your your 3month-old your two
42:50month your fourmonth old is like this.
42:54So now imagine putting pap through this
42:55hole. Don't you think everything in the
42:58pap is going to pass through? Both the
42:59water, both the corn, both the millet,
43:01both the everything. No matter no matter
43:03how much water you add, if you like
43:06drown the pop and pour it in a bottle,
43:09it's everything is going to pass like
43:11this versus where it's supposed to be
43:13like this. And it's only the nutrients
43:14that are supposed to everything will
43:16pass. That's why a lot of children who
43:19start solids before 6 months, some even
43:22before 7 months, before 8 months without
43:24the right knowledge and the right tools,
43:26end up as adults with multiple um
43:30non-communicable diseases, end up with
43:32kidney failure and they are struggling
43:34to find out what happened. End up with
43:37non fatty liver disease.
43:42Let's you see this gap? Wait for it to
43:44close before you introduce solids. Your
43:46child is going to eat for the rest of
43:48their lives. For the rest of their
43:50lives, right? You are still eating. So,
43:52your child is going to do the same. 6
43:54months is not that long of a wait for
43:56you to wait for this gap to close so
43:59that you can start complimentary
44:00feeding. Now, against popular belief,
44:03PEP really shouldn't be the first food
44:05you start with. I learned this a couple
44:08years ago because in my training how we
44:13train in the US is very different than
44:15how we are how we feed in Africa, right?
44:18And so what happened was I had a
44:22con not even a conviction. I was
44:24confused on how to help people because I
44:26cannot go to somebody and say just be
44:28feeding your child only. They say
44:31okay can I add the no leave the amala
44:34just theu and the okra and the meat and
44:37the liver is good enough but now
44:39research is telling us that that is
44:41primary so you can leave the swallow
44:43alone it's okay
44:46u crayfish dry fish stockf fish grind
44:50everything together mix it together feed
44:52your child from a bowl you don't need
44:53the amala they getting everything they
44:56need all the nutrients I mentioned the
44:58iron
44:59the choline
45:01helping with tryptophan all of that is
45:03happening inside that leave the amala
45:06alone start with iron rich foods it's
45:09becoming more and more evident that
45:11parents that are raising young children
45:13don't give them meat
45:16I don't know why I don't know cuz what I
45:19hear sometimes is oh they don't know how
45:20to chew if you've ever breastfed and
45:23they've ever dragged your nipple you
45:25will know that teeth is not is not a
45:27necessity for chewing meat
45:29Yeah, you will know that pain. We tell
45:31you that teeth are not a necessity for
45:34chewing meat. So yes, please feed your
45:37children meat from as early as 6 months.
45:40Grind it, blend it, boil it in a
45:43pressure pot till it's nice and soft.
45:45Let them eat meat, please. Don't worry
45:48about whether they can tear it or not.
45:50Tear it for them. Feed them. The goal is
45:53to supply nutrients that support rapid
45:55brain development. Remember, your window
45:58is short. You have 5 years to get it
46:00right. Don't waste it on trying to
46:02figure out which cereal is best. Don't
46:04waste it on trying to figure out which
46:06pap combination is best. Keep it simple.
46:09Keep iron top of the list. Keep choling
46:12top of the list. Keep DHA top of the
46:14list. And I want to emphasize on variety
46:17because a lot of the times when after
46:19having these seminars and after having
46:20these sessions, people will now come
46:21back and say, "Ah, I love this so much.
46:23I loved how you talked about this. We've
46:25been drinking milk every day. That's not
46:27what I said.
46:29That's absolutely not what I said. And I
46:31can tell you that is absolutely not what
46:33any of the speakers that have spoken
46:34about nutrition are trying to emphasize
46:36for you. Don't eat egg every day. Don't
46:39eat rice every day. Don't eat potatoes
46:42every day. Don't eat stew every day. You
46:45are blessed as an African with a variety
46:48of food. Diversify your child's diet.
46:52Eat from every tribe. Eat from
46:54intercontinental dishes. Don't stick to
46:57only one set of meals every day. Don't
47:00give fruits the same fruit every day of
47:02the week. Do some diversification. Let
47:05them have a smoothie here. Let them have
47:07an apple here. Even if you even if um
47:10you're worried about all the fruits
47:11spoiling, apples this week, next week
47:13oranges, oranges next week, grapes the
47:16week. Diversify their diet. Let them eat
47:20in the abundance of what God has
47:22created. God created so many beautiful
47:24different foods and he gave man the
47:26understanding to even diversify how to
47:28use those foods. Don't sit in a small
47:31box. Feed your children diversity. Now
47:34this early introduction of I want to
47:36emphasize something. Early introduction
47:38of multiple textures and flavors trains
47:40a palette. There is no child born with
47:43the desire to eat sweet things. I'll
47:45repeat that. There is no child born with
47:48a desire to eat sweet things. Right?
47:51Every child is born with a desire to
47:54eat. It doesn't matter what it tastes
47:56like. And for emphasis, our mouths are
48:00full of thousands of neurons, right? And
48:04nerves and different taste buds. Do you
48:07know that a child has 10,000 more taste
48:09buds than you? [snorts] So the stew you
48:12cooked now that you're saying, "I think
48:15maybe next time I'll add more salt."
48:16They tasting salt 10,000 times more. So
48:19don't be in a haste to try and make it
48:22tasty.
48:23Focus on nutrient diversification first
48:27right
48:29now.
48:30Because if you don't if you don't offer
48:33multiple textures between those 6 months
48:36to 12 months, I always tell my clients
48:3912 months your child should be able to
48:41wheel a chair up to the dining table and
48:43eat with the rest of the family.
48:45There shouldn't be a difference in how
48:47they eat. Because we've crossed the the
48:50the first six months, we've crossed the
48:52second six months. Sit with them. Let
48:54them eat with you. That's what you use
48:57those 6 months to do. Is not to be
48:59testing which color of pap should I make
49:02or how thick should the pap be. No, they
49:05need to be moving from 6 months to 12
49:07months to the dining table, sitting with
49:09you on Christmas day, chewing their own
49:10chicken, eating their own bone,
49:12crunching the bone because by then they
49:14should have teeth. So they should be
49:16able to crunch bone, suck out the
49:17marrow. 12 months. Notice I didn't say 5
49:20years. I said 12 months because you only
49:22have 5 years to achieve this.
49:26Now iron is the nutrient most commonly
49:28depleted at this stage. I've already
49:30talked about that, right? So please make
49:32it a a a thing to feed your children red
49:35meat. It's only after maybe 30 that you
49:39should start worrying about how much red
49:41meat am I eating. in those first five
49:43years they are the ones that they are
49:45the ones that should be eating two meats
49:46not even you
49:49next strategy as I've talked about is
49:51feed balance and diversification a brain
49:54supportive diet is not about expensive
49:56superfoods I keep saying this one of the
49:59things that we teach in our community
50:00and we teach in my business is that
50:04money is not the problem is your ability
50:07to be creative that is
50:10money is not the problem is the ability
50:12to be creative. That is, I'll give you a
50:14good example.
50:16Are there any people that live in
50:18northern Nigeria? Northern Nigeria has
50:21some of the most interesting and diverse
50:23um combinations of food. And the reason
50:26is because they have very little to work
50:27with. But somehow in the little that
50:30they have to work with, that's where
50:32majority of our spices come from,
50:34majority of our exotic foods come from.
50:37For example, a good one is cooker.
50:39cooker is a bow is the baobab le um
50:42bowab, right? The baobab fruit has more
50:46calcium than a glass of milk.
50:50In fact, if you eat too much baobab, you
50:52can calcify your bones if you just keep
50:54eating so much of it. Meanwhile, you
50:56just need a tablespoon and you have the
50:58equivalent of a glass of milk. It's a
51:01fantastic source of vitamin C and it's
51:04dry. It doesn't require much to eat. It
51:09comes dry from the tree. The bowab tree
51:11is called the tree of life. Do you know
51:14that when it is exported abroad, it
51:16costs an arm and a leg. Meanwhile, the
51:19bowab tree grows comfortably in the
51:21north. Now, it does require a little
51:23cleaning, you know, by the time you're
51:24processing it. But it's such a powerful
51:26fruit. And again, emphasis on dry. It
51:29has solved the problem of storage. It
51:31has solved the problem of mixing it. It
51:33comes in a powdered form. It comes in
51:35pores but it comes in a powdered form.
51:37Then there's manga which are the leaves
51:40that are medicinal that they use to make
51:42black soup.
51:45Powerful elixir, antioxidant rich and
51:49iron rich. You see how simple diversity
51:53and superfoods can be. But we are
51:55traveling to mane to look for what I
51:58don't know in your backyard. I'm sure
52:01you can find some really good things.
52:03Baky doesn't mean the backard of your
52:04house. Talk to the the fruit seller. Ask
52:08them what fruit is in season or say,
52:11"Which fruit have I not bought from you
52:12this week? Is that's the one I want?"
52:14You'll be surprised what they will offer
52:15you, what it will taste like, what that
52:18difference might be for your children.
52:19And if you build a child that has a
52:21diverse palette, you're never really
52:22worried about, oh, will you eat it well
52:24or will you not eat it well, right?
52:27Every meal has to follow the CPS
52:30formula. carbohydrate protein and sorry
52:33CPF carbohydrate protein and fat every
52:36meal as much as possible please
52:38carbohydrate protein and fat as much as
52:41possible don't offer
52:44um oats without a fat source oats and
52:48milk is not enough you need a fat source
52:52right don't offer bread with only tea
52:56you need a fat source right and you need
53:00Good cocoa, not just all those sugar
53:04laden things that people are always
53:05buying. You need cocoa.
53:08These help to keep your energy steady
53:10throughout the day, sustains
53:13concentration and delivers those
53:15micronutrients that we talked about
53:16earlier that help those
53:17neurotransmitters work effectively. And
53:20I've talked to emphasize on protein with
53:21every meal or eat protein alone. I make
53:25meat related snacks for my kids or I add
53:28some form of protein, whether plant
53:30protein or animal protein to something
53:32they are always eating, right?
53:35Um, and if you're even worried about
53:38combinations,
53:41I know that tip gives you people serious
53:43assignments. One assignment I'll give
53:45you today. Go home or in your house if
53:47you're at home right now. Write
53:49carbohydrates on a piece of paper. Write
53:51protein on another piece of paper. Write
53:52fat on another piece of paper. List out
53:55all the carbohydrates you have in your
53:56house. List out all the proteins you
53:58have in your house. List out all the
54:00fats you have in your house. I can bet
54:02you right now that the list of protein
54:05will be four and the carbohydrate be
54:07like 15. Then you will realize that you
54:10have a problem.
54:12And then the facts might only be two
54:14safe. You realize you have a problem
54:16because how do we want to combine,
54:19right? That's why diversity is
54:20important. So do that assignment and
54:22then start to increase your list. I tell
54:24parents, your children need to eat
54:26better than you have ever eaten in your
54:28life. It's not about giving them the
54:30best of what you didn't have. They need
54:32to eat better than you. When I cook in
54:35my home for my kids, when people see
54:37what they eat, they're like, "What
54:39happened? What what's the what what's
54:40the occasion? I'm like longevity.
54:44They need to outlive me and this is the
54:46only way I know how. That is why I don't
54:48joke with what they eat. My children eat
54:51like kings and queens because they have
54:54a throne to sit on. Right? So they eat
54:57that way for the purpose of developing
54:59the brain and developing the rest of
55:00their body. And my children have gotten
55:02so used to it that even when they go to
55:04school, they will come back and say,
55:05"Oh, I saw what this person ate and I
55:07felt so sad. So I gave them a part of my
55:09lunch and then sometimes I'll pack two
55:10because they want to give somebody
55:11else." They know they eat well. They
55:14know they eating well.
55:18Feed adequately and often enough.
55:20Children need to eat.
55:23One thing I always recommend is baking.
55:28I absolutely love baking.
55:32It's calming. It's a almost like a
55:35thoughtless process, especially when you
55:37do it long enough. But most importantly,
55:39you control what you bake.
55:42You control your children lose interest
55:45in all the sugar laden things because
55:46it's happening in the house. I'm not a
55:49believer of secluding your children from
55:51the realities they are going to
55:52experience. You're raising children to
55:54be in the world and to conquer the world
55:56but not to be of this world. Right? So
55:59they will infiltrate and they will
56:01occupy. But in order to infiltrate and
56:04occupy, you need to know the layout of
56:05the land. You need to know that a cookie
56:08is not the problem. It's what is in the
56:10cookie that is in the problem. Have you
56:12ever made cookies with beans? Made
56:14cookies with lentils? Made cookies with
56:16guinea? That's not that cookie and the
56:20one on the shelf. They're not age mates.
56:22They can't even sit in the same table.
56:24Or have you made made muffins with cocoa
56:28and um what's this thing called?
56:31Bambara, which is aqua. I know so many
56:34people used to think I was crazy when I
56:36used to use agusi as my butter. Yes,
56:39agusi. The one used to make for soup.
56:41Use it as butter cuz butter is
56:43expensive. But we have a googusi all the
56:44time. So why not, right?
56:48take authority in your home when it
56:50comes to how you feed your children and
56:52it will transfer to the adults. When my
56:53husband goes to work in the morning and
56:55you know you want to grab something
56:56quick and you want to grab your coffee,
56:58I would just see him putting hand inside
57:00my children's pancake and I'll be
57:01looking at him like it's not for you. He
57:03said please please I should leave him
57:05and he will carry the pancake but I know
57:06he's fed well and he will take like two
57:08or three. Now he could have eaten a
57:11muffin from anywhere else but he's
57:12eating real nutrients. He always tells
57:15people, "Oh, I'm afraid to tell you
57:18people what I'm eating because I don't
57:19know what could be inside. It could be
57:22strange." And that's okay. Like one
57:24speaker said that I listened to Yes. Um
57:26today, earlier today said, "It's okay to
57:28be weird, right? Especially if you're on
57:30the right side of weird, it's okay. So
57:33feed adequately and feed more
57:34frequently. 6 to 8 months, 2 to three
57:38meals per day alongside breast milk."
57:40Notice I said two to three meals. I
57:42didn't say half a meal or one meal. And
57:44it can be two spoons here, three spoons
57:46here. Diversify it, right? We've talked
57:48about diversification quite a bit. 9 to
57:5111 months, 3 to four meals per day along
57:53with the breast milk. Again, different
57:56things. If you don't want it to be too
57:58much of a struggle for you, build a
58:00system. One of the very easiest system
58:02is have three meals, divide them into
58:04two, you have six meals. If I do meal
58:06one, you can do meal one, meal two, meal
58:09three, then meal one, meal two, and meal
58:11three before they go to bed. In between
58:13they do breast milk. Again, it's not
58:15about the quantity, it's about the
58:17quality. Two tablespoons of oats with
58:22chia seeds and baobab and milk is better
58:25than oats and milk. You see the
58:28difference? Toddlers that five, age
58:31five, six, four, three, three meals and
58:35two nutritious snacks. Like I said,
58:38really get into the habit. A good recipe
58:41that I make is ground beef or ground
58:44turkey or ground anything. Ground meat,
58:45minced meat, whatever you want to call
58:47it, with leftover rice, a little bit of
58:50cheese, lots of soya bean, flour, and
58:54eggs. I mix it all together and I roll
58:56it into a bowl and I toss it into my air
58:59fryer. 15 minutes. My children can snack
59:01on it. Eating two of those things is a
59:03full meal than eating rice and stew.
59:06Just eating two of those balls, it's a
59:08full meal than eating rice and stew.
59:09Because many of us, our stew is not
59:11alive again.
59:13It's drier than the bones. It's not even
59:15living. There's no nutritional value in
59:17the stew that you cooked or you cooked
59:19it with confidence. Please stop cooking
59:22dead stew.
59:24Cook your stew by roasting your your
59:27your um tomatoes. Don't fry them. Even
59:31if you want to add oil, don't let the
59:33oil drown. Right? We've all learned we
59:36have we have fixed pallets. That's why
59:38many of us are struggling when they tell
59:40you, "Oh, you have a disease now or you
59:42have a condition or you have a dis like
59:44will I eat?" It's because your palette
59:46is stuck on eating the wrong way. If you
59:48are eating differently, if you are
59:50eating properly, if you had vegetables
59:53with every meal, if you had if you were
59:55used to not eating everything so sweet,
59:57it wouldn't be a struggle if for some
1:00:00reason you have a health condition. And
1:00:01that's what we pray against for our
1:00:03children, right? We pray against that
1:00:05for our children. But as much as you are
1:00:07praying, as much as you are praying, I
1:00:10need you to be doing the work. Cuz faith
1:00:14without work is dead. It's dead on
1:00:15arrival. There's no point believing so
1:00:18strongly and not acting out the faith by
1:00:21doing the things required to prepare
1:00:23yourself for when you receive that
1:00:26healing, when you receive that thing
1:00:27you've prayed for. God is not going to
1:00:29put it in your hand like this without
1:00:32you doing the work to receive it, right?
1:00:35He's not a magician.
1:00:38So, our takeaway, my own throne is my
1:00:42kitchen. That's where I I I do the I I I
1:00:46devour the enemy. I scatter on the
1:00:49battlefield in my kitchen. My kitchen is
1:00:52where my throne is. That's where
1:00:54decisions are made. That's where my
1:00:56children's health is built on. This
1:00:59morning I was taking my children to
1:01:00summer camp and my daughter said to me,
1:01:03"Oh, my throat is is hurting."
1:01:06And I have older kids, so I no longer my
1:01:09god, what will I do? I've left that
1:01:11department. Even when they were younger,
1:01:12I think up until about my kids were
1:01:15five, I stopped having those
1:01:17palpitations because I knew exactly what
1:01:19needed to do, what to mix, and everybody
1:01:20would be fine. So [snorts] I said to
1:01:22her, I said, "Oh, I'm so sorry you're
1:01:23feeling that way. when you come home,
1:01:25what do you need to do? Oh, she said,
1:01:26I'll just brew a cup of lemon and
1:01:27ginger. Three nights ago, my my son
1:01:30said, "Oh, he needs to relax in the
1:01:31evening." I said, "What does that mean?"
1:01:33He says, "Oh, he's going to brew a cup
1:01:34of lemon and ginger and honey and read a
1:01:36book." I said, "You are enjoying." No,
1:01:40you are living the best life. And I
1:01:41walked past and I went to my room and he
1:01:44brewed a cup for him and his sister, sat
1:01:46on the couch with his hot cup of lemon
1:01:48and ginger and honey and started
1:01:49drinking and was reading his book.
1:01:53that picture for me.
1:01:55I've I've finished my work as a parent.
1:01:58I don't have any other if my child can
1:02:00confidently view brewing a cup of lemon
1:02:03and ginger and honey. And I'm not
1:02:05talking about like tea bagago. Raw
1:02:08ginger that has been grated. It's in the
1:02:10fridge. Raw lemon that I've juiced. Raw
1:02:13honey. Boil hot water. Pour it. Steip
1:02:15it. Leave it for a few minutes. Mix it.
1:02:17Drink it. I'm I'm finished my work when
1:02:20it comes to nutrition on my children
1:02:21because they know the importance of
1:02:23those things. They know the value that
1:02:25liver and eggs have. They know the value
1:02:27that beans and crayfish have. They know
1:02:29the value that titles and mackerel and
1:02:31sadines have. They know the value that
1:02:33ug and roasted tomatoes have. They know
1:02:35that peanut butter is not just for
1:02:37bread. Peanut butter is for making
1:02:39energy balls. Peanut butter is for
1:02:41making sauce. Peanut butter is used for
1:02:43making cookies. They know. They know
1:02:45that yam and plantain are not just for
1:02:47carbohydrates. They know they contain
1:02:49prebiotics. They know the value. And I
1:02:51want to end this by saying that you're
1:02:55not going to be perfect. That's not what
1:02:56we're aiming here for. We're aiming for
1:02:59consistency,
1:03:00intentionality, and focus. Know where
1:03:04you are going. Take consistent steps
1:03:06towards it. And be intentional about it.
1:03:10You're not going to have all the
1:03:13Yeah.
1:03:15Thank you very much.
1:03:20Wow.
1:03:21Wow.
1:03:24I'm short of words.
1:03:26>> It's amazing. Thank you so much, ma'am,
1:03:29for this thoughtprovoking session. I am
1:03:33very sure that our shopping list will
1:03:35not remain the same again after this
1:03:37session.
1:03:39Thank you so much. We want to appreciate
1:03:41you for coming here and um there's
1:03:44something that resonates with most of us
1:03:47and is the fact that we have learned
1:03:49today that feeding our children is not
1:03:52just about growth but about helping them
1:03:55to maintain a good brain that can
1:03:57actually learn and actually get them to
1:04:00um sit on the throne that the Lord has
1:04:03preserved for them. Thank you very much
1:04:05for that session. Um we would like to go
1:04:08for water break right now so that when
1:04:11we come back our attendees can give us
1:04:14some questions that you would answer.
1:04:17Thank you very much.
1:04:25Good morning everyone. My name is Mrs.
1:04:27Blessing. I am married with three kings
1:04:30and a queen and I am a proud Yaga seated
1:04:35already in cohort 1B 2027
1:04:38for the fourth time. I came into the
1:04:40information from my friend. I [music]
1:04:42attended the conference precept upon
1:04:43precept and I was wowed. I said where
1:04:45have I been all this way? Then co and
1:04:48her team visited Ko for TIP summit 2024.
1:04:52Then I [music] understood I had clarity
1:04:54that this is real. Before I came into
1:04:56the yard, I have been an [music]
1:04:58inconsistent person. I have no control
1:05:00over my emotions and I really finish
1:05:03what I started. I [music] am in the
1:05:04yard. I follow I do my best to follow
1:05:06all instructions and the testimonies
1:05:09[music] are enormous. I am a better
1:05:11person. I relate better with people. I
1:05:13connect more to correct my children and
1:05:16everybody [music]
1:05:17around me compliment the transformation
1:05:20in my characters. I want to use this
1:05:22opportunity to invite every one of you
1:05:24into the yard. I tell you, [music] you
1:05:26will have peace just like I have now.
1:05:30You're welcome to [music] the yard.
1:05:38Thank you very much. Tim, can you help
1:05:40us with some of the questions for our
1:05:43speaker today?
1:05:50Okay,
1:05:52question. So if getting it wrong at 0 to
1:05:565 ages, how do one rectify that damage
1:06:00done after 5 years old? Now
1:06:04>> the first thing is communication. Um now
1:06:07this is me making an assumption that you
1:06:09have a communication channel with your
1:06:11child. You need to sit them down and
1:06:13first tell them things are changing
1:06:15because when we abruptly make these
1:06:18changes on children, it's a battle that
1:06:21you're going to lose over and over
1:06:23again. So the first thing is communicate
1:06:25with the child the changes. Second, make
1:06:28small but conscious effort to make
1:06:30changes. So if there's something in your
1:06:31house that they've been eating wrong for
1:06:33a long time, that's the last time you'll
1:06:35buy it. That's the end. And as you're
1:06:37getting as you're telling yourself that,
1:06:39you're finding a replacement. So
1:06:41purchase meal plans that have already
1:06:44been tailored to suit this change,
1:06:46right? Have consultations with experts
1:06:48like myself to say, "Okay, this is where
1:06:50we are. This is where we are going. How
1:06:52do I merge the two to head in the right
1:06:54direction?" Um, and most importantly, be
1:06:57kind to yourself. I know that when we
1:07:01have these kind of conversations and we
1:07:02lay emphasis on these things that we say
1:07:04that it's you, you miss it, you miss it.
1:07:07Yes, you've missed it. But the brain is
1:07:10malleable, right? It's formed, but it's
1:07:13malleable. Things can still happen. So
1:07:16the focus is being kind to yourself,
1:07:19communicating, getting the right
1:07:21nutrients and implementing immediately.
1:07:24Don't use one week to wait to how you
1:07:25want to implement. Start now. If they
1:07:27were not eating enough vegetables, start
1:07:29including it. If they were not eating
1:07:30enough, if you used to boil your yam,
1:07:32for example,
1:07:34um without the back and you have the
1:07:35capacity to start boiling it with the
1:07:37back. My children eat the skin of
1:07:39potatoes. Eat the skin of potatoes. Like
1:07:41small changes but effective ones, right?
1:07:46>> Okay. Thank you very much, ma'am.
1:07:50I think you have another question.
1:07:52>> Yes, another question. It says, "Please,
1:07:55ma'am, my son of three years doesn't
1:07:58like eating meat or even fish. Please,
1:08:02what can I do?"
1:08:04>> Um, first things first, how are you
1:08:05presenting it? A lot of the times how we
1:08:08present fish and meat is the way we want
1:08:10to eat it. You are not feeding yourself.
1:08:12You're feeding somebody else. You and
1:08:14your child are different individuals.
1:08:15The moment a lot of parents begin to
1:08:17understand is the more peace they have.
1:08:19Right? Secondly, stop the assumption
1:08:22that because you cut it up into tiny
1:08:23meat pieces is no longer fish and meat.
1:08:26My dear, the nutrient is what we are
1:08:28focused on, not the presentation. It's
1:08:30not you that is eating it, it's somebody
1:08:32else. Do you need to chop it up? Chop it
1:08:34up. Do you need to blend it? Blend it.
1:08:37Do you need to use it to make your own
1:08:39stock cube? Do that. Do you need to
1:08:41grind the meat and use it as the water
1:08:43to boil the rice? Do that. Again, they
1:08:46focus the nutrients, not in the
1:08:48presentation. When a child is used to a
1:08:50taste, they build trust, reduce their
1:08:53struggles with you, and then you can
1:08:54then graduate to eating whole fish and
1:08:56whole meat.
1:08:58>> Thank you very much, ma'am. Thank you
1:09:00very much. Another question. How do you
1:09:02go about sourcing whole foods
1:09:08>> like just buying whole foods or buying
1:09:10whole foods without chemicals and things
1:09:12like that? Is that what we're talking
1:09:14about?
1:09:15>> Yes. Free of chemicals and
1:09:17preservatives.
1:09:18>> Um so, so this is a dicey question
1:09:21simply because we don't know, right? Um
1:09:25but here's what I say.
1:09:28Don't try to be doing organic too often.
1:09:31It's the nutrient profile is not
1:09:35significantly different. That's number
1:09:38one. Try to buy organic in the foods
1:09:41that you have to eat the skin, right? So
1:09:44like the apples, strawberries, mangoes,
1:09:47things like that. As much as possible,
1:09:49try to buy those as organic as you can.
1:09:51Um secondly, build relationships with
1:09:55farmers, farmers markets, local farmers
1:09:59around you. build relationships with
1:10:02them. Build relationships with people
1:10:04who know farmers, right? And then three,
1:10:09as much as possible, when you're buying
1:10:10grains, buy the whole grain or the whole
1:10:14grain that has been ground, right?
1:10:16Because the likelihood of you buying
1:10:18anything that is free of chemicals in
1:10:19today's world is like 20% unless you are
1:10:23growing it yourself. Um, as much as
1:10:25people like to say, "Oh, eat this, eat
1:10:26this," you are exposed to these things
1:10:28on a regular basis, right? So, as much
1:10:30as possible,
1:10:32control what you make in your food and
1:10:35diversify.
1:10:37I'll give you a good example. Um,
1:10:40lectins are found in beans. It's an
1:10:43anti-nutrient. But when you pair bean
1:10:46with foods that are high in selenium,
1:10:48like crayfish and mushrooms, they reduce
1:10:50the impact. So now imagine that every
1:10:53time you cook beans, there's no mushroom
1:10:54inside. It's only small crayfish, right?
1:10:57Or you don't add enough fish. When you
1:10:59diversify your diet, you are less likely
1:11:03to accumulate certain chemicals in the
1:11:05body because things tend to cancel out.
1:11:08God was so God is so kind to us. He gave
1:11:12us everything we need. That's why
1:11:14traditional medicine is still valuable
1:11:16till today because you eat poison of
1:11:19apple and use the seed of apple to solve
1:11:21the poison.
1:11:23>> Diversify your your diet. Diversify it.
1:11:27In my house, we eat rice twice a week. I
1:11:30can have container of stew in my freezer
1:11:31for months,
1:11:34months, because we'll eat different
1:11:36sauces, different things. Diversify your
1:11:40Okay. Thank you so much, man. Thank you
1:11:43so much for that. I want to appreciate
1:11:45um you for everything that you have done
1:11:49and appreciate our mentor, Coach Wendy,
1:11:52for giving us the opportunity to hear
1:11:53these amazing things from you. Thank you
1:11:56so much, ma'am. You're welcome and
1:11:58welcome to the yard. We would like to
1:11:59see you there. God bless you.
1:12:01>> Ma'am, thank you. Have a blessed evening
1:12:04everyone. Bye.
1:12:06>> Thank you so much, ma'am. And I want to
1:12:08talk about the inner circle. The inner
1:12:10circle is the place you need to be.
1:12:12Okay. So, our speaker said we should aim
1:12:14for consistency, intentionality,
1:12:17and focus. And I thank God for tip. So

1:13:24Good day everyone out there. My name is
1:13:25Eintoman.
1:13:27I live in [music] Yo Aqua State, Nigeria
1:13:30and I am a proud student, in fact a live
1:13:34member of the [music] intentional parent
1:13:36academy by Wendy Oli. Daily in the yard,
1:13:40we are being equipped [music] with
1:13:41connection tools and voice notes to help
1:13:44us navigate on having effective
1:13:46connection with our children. So, the
1:13:48connection I now have with my boys is
1:13:49now so solid. And in my marriage, oh my
1:13:52goodness, [music] there's been a
1:13:53turnaround because I now know how to go
1:13:56about issues in my marriage. And did I
1:13:58tell you that from the results my
1:14:00husband saw, he was able and willing to
1:14:03join the But beyond family life, there's
1:14:05been a 360° turnaround. Is it in the way
1:14:08the scriptures have been dissected
1:14:10[music] to us? Is it in the daily
1:14:11connection tools that we have? Is it in
1:14:13the wisdom notes that we receive? Is it
1:14:15in the webinars that we receive
1:14:18warmth that we have? Oh my goodness.
1:14:20See, this is a fold of like-minded
1:14:23people who journey together [music] and
1:14:25the journey becomes easy. I'm going to
1:14:28extend an open invitation to you. Are
1:14:30you single? [music]

1:14:38life. We have everybody in here. It is
1:14:41not restricted [music] to religion. It's
1:14:42not restricted to gender. It's not
1:14:44restricted to country because everything
1:14:46is fully virtual. Please come in. Do not
1:14:48grow in the [music] dark anymore because

1:14:58be waiting to receive and welcome you
1:15:00very warmly in the 2027 cohort. Thank
1:15:02you so much and you have an amazing
1:15:05amazing time [music] with us
1:15:09in
1:15:11intentional parents. You take the health
1:15:14of your children very seriously. Many of
1:15:17you assume it is certain science that
1:15:19vaccinating your children is a key
1:15:22component of keeping them healthy.
1:15:24That has been debunked as false. Allow
1:15:27me to introduce you to Aaron Siri, a US
1:15:31lawyer who has for over 10 years
1:15:34successfully prosecuted pharmaceutical
1:15:37companies on behalf of the parents of
1:15:40vaccine injured children. Eraseri has
1:15:43found that intentional parents take the
1:15:46time to study primary source material
1:15:48about vaccines, interpret the science
1:15:52accurately, and typically decide to not
1:15:56vaccinate or to stop vaccinating their
1:15:58children. He has put all the information
1:16:02that intentional parents need to make
1:16:04informed choices for their children's
1:16:07health in his new book vaccine amen
1:16:10which is available on Amazon. I'm Dr.
1:16:14Obi a nrotechnology medical consultant a
1:16:18wellness advocate and host of the
1:16:21healing e podcast and I invite you to
1:16:24purchase vaccine amen and read it. Why?
1:16:29Since COVID, vaccine production has
1:16:32moved to the mRNA platform and this has
1:16:36proven in the last 5 years to cause
1:16:40untold astronomical levels of harm and
1:16:44death to those who receive them.
1:16:47Knowledge is power. We read in the yard.
1:16:52So, let us learn the lessons from CO.
1:16:55Let us be prepared. so that we will make
1:16:58informed choices in the future for the
1:17:01health of our children and ourselves.
1:17:07Can a skyscraper stand on the foundation
1:17:10of a bungalow? Of course not. The taller
1:17:13the building, the deeper the foundation.
1:17:15Every architect knows that what lies
1:17:16beneath the ties everything that rises
1:17:18above. So, let me ask you, if the first
1:17:21seven years shape the rest of the life
1:17:23of your child, are you intentionally
1:17:25building or simply hoping everything
1:17:27works out? Are you allowing school,
1:17:29society, and culture to define who they
1:17:32become? What if your child's greatest
1:17:34potential is already visible, but you
1:17:36don't know how to recognize it yet? What
1:17:38if the behaviors you're trying to stop
1:17:40are actually clues to strength that need
1:17:43direction instead of suppression? What
1:17:45if the reason parenting feels exhausting
1:17:47isn't because your child is difficult,
1:17:49but because you're using strategies that
1:17:51doesn't fit the child God gave you. My
1:17:53name is Favor Moses, leases coach,
1:17:55education expert, mother of three, and
1:17:58the founder of the Genius Mind Academy.
1:18:00At the Genius Mind, we believe every
1:18:01child is born with a unique design,
1:18:03abilities, and expression. Our mission
1:18:05is to help parents discover, nurture,
1:18:07and launch that genius in their child.
1:18:09Why? Because the most important years of
1:18:11your child's life are the years the
1:18:13world pays the least attention to. From
1:18:16pregnancy to age seven, your child's
1:18:18brain develops are a pet that would
1:18:20never happen again in their life. Their
1:18:23identity, confidence, creativity,
1:18:25curiosity, emotional patterns, and love
1:18:27for learning are being shaped. Those
1:18:29windows of opportunity only open once.
1:18:32Yet many parents are simply surviving
1:18:33these years not because they don't love
1:18:35their children but because no one taught
1:18:37them how to intentionally build in these
1:18:39years before your child experiences the
1:18:41world. You are the parents are the first
1:18:43environment. Through reset, renew,
1:18:45rebuild, we help you clear the noise,
1:18:47grow in awareness and become the
