Life Can Change In A Moment

I was honored for Dr KellyAnn Petrucci ND to join us (you and me) on the show this week.  She’s a big deal. On Dr Oz all the time, PBS, she’s written 9 NY Times Best Sellers, founded the bone broth movement--very successful as a doctor (Naturopath) who has gone public.  She comes on the show to talk about her new book Cleans and Reset.

I met KellyAnn at Michael Fishman’s CHS in Spring of 2019, we were sat next to each other at a dinner randomly, and hit it off instantly, becoming good friends.  She’s got an energy about her. And is mesmerizingly charismatic--consider yourself warned.

But I was a little uneasy about this episode because frankly--I don’t believe in bone broth and cleanses.  And detoxes. And toxins. And she’s big into that. Am I going to be able to keep it together, have a respectful conversation with someone I disagree with?  Or is it all just going to go straight to hell, and I lose a friend? You’ll have to tune in tomorrow and see how it went. We also discuss:

*How success and being a workaholic led to her own burnout and health issues.

*What underlies and drives so many of us professional achievers (self worth, and sometimes, lackthereof)

* Did KellyAnn have imposter syndrome

* How you health is affected by relationships, success, self love, self worth

* Did she convince me about bone broth and her new cleanse?

* How we numb ourselves (with work, alcohol, sex) to cope with unhappiness and underlying difficult emotions

Show Notes
● [1:20] We got an incredible guest for today, Dr. KellyAnn Petrucci, the creator, and
founder of Bone Broth Movement. KellyAnn was so proud because after her show hit
PBS, we can see Bone Broth companies over the country because she knows how it
transforms and helps people’s lives. She was grateful for that opportunity. She also
wrote a book called "Bone Broth Diet".
● [3:35] Dr. Larry and Dr. KellyAnn knew each other from CHS. KellyAnn was always open
and sharing stories with Dr. Larry.
● Dr. KellyAnn's life-changing moments happened on a flight from L.A. back to New York.
A change of events leads Dr. KellyAnn telling a passenger next to her that she was
about to pass out. The next thing she remembers, she was at the back of the plane with
a bunch of airline staff putting ice around her head and neck.
● [5:01] She always taught people to stay connected to their mind, body, and spirit, yet
here she was in a situation where she's ill. There was a physician that came on board
that cared for her the whole flight and told her that she was burnout and if she won't do
anything about it, it's going to be bad.
● She is a doctor that studied in New York. She studied European Medicine at Swiss
Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland. Dr. Thomas Rau, who is a world-renowned physician,
taught her almost everything. She knows about really caring for patients, allowing the
body to heal itself. He taught her not to be afraid of the body’s power to heal itself, yet
she pass-out in a plane.
● [7:00] Dr. KellyAnn wants to tell everyone that we can't allow our self to disconnect with
our body. We do that because we take care of everything and everyone. She said that
we have a power within us. We can leak that power, but if you allow yourselves to
constantly leaking this power, we drain. Dr. KellyAnn wants to stop all who are watching
to take a moment and ask ourselves if we are connected to our mind and body.
● [9:01] This energy is vast and powerful. We have to learn how to harness it and what to
do about it. We do that by awareness. It is by being aware of the simple things that we
may not think about. Things like the people around us. We have to be very careful of the
people we allow into our orbit. We have to allow different orbit around us. There is a
group that we trust beyond all measure, and there was a group that is acquaintances.
There is that group that we have to keep our eyes on. And there are people that we don't
allow into our orbit. To mature in life, we have to know which orbit to put each person
you meet, because what we don't want is that continual, residual drain.
● [12:00] success for her now is different than it was two years ago when the plane
incident happened. Two years ago, she was not in peace. She is always looking at the
next step. She lacked love for herself. We are born with that and overtime when we have
experiences that sometimes others taught trust upon us, and we don't get rid of those

thoughts. Now when she has a thought and knows that it doesn't serve her greater good
and those around her, she will cancel it immediately and this little thing will keep her
from burnout ever again.
● [15:00] Dr. KellyAnn talks about how alcohol affects her clarity and height awareness.
She cut out alcohol about six months ago. KellyAnn thought that she was not going to
drink because she wants to see what other things that keep her where she doesn't want
to be. She realizes that alcohol is one of them, so she let that go and all of a sudden,
she realizes that she was getting more clear and a sense of clarity.
● [18:00] With success, we got a lot of opportunities. We have to be aware of the things
we are saying yes all the time. That's the whole thing with alcohol when you pop a cork a
lot more the next thing you know you are in different events and resorts that are slowly
draining your energy. There was an adage that "saying no is as powerful as saying yes".
In KellyAnn's instance, that was true. She was doing a lot of running around, she's doing
too much, and it got her, and now she is making sure that it will not happen again.
● [20:00] Being a public person is not KellyAnn's focus, her focus is always learning and
understanding how the body works and what she can do to enhance all that happens in
the body in the best way. So she started seeing patients. Dr. KellyAnn studied ancestral
medicine to know what is best for our DNA. That's when she came up with the idea of
Bone Broth.
● [22:45] Dr. KellyAnn combines Bone Broth with intermittent fasting, and that's where the
magic happens for a lot of people particularly a lot of women who were struggling so
hard to lose weight and couldn't do it. She put people in a program where they have
bone broth during the day, a couple's day a week and just one meal at night. They were
very comfortable. They didn't have the cravings, crashes, and they didn't feel weak or
deprived.
● [26:00] Dr. Larry asks KellyAnn if the bone broth is plausible. She said that it has
minerals and a great form of protein. It is an anti-inflammatory food. It warms people
down to the soul, but if it is plausible she didn't care, the bottom line is, it gets results and
transform people to the greater good. A lot of people use a powdered broth but KellyAnn
prefers the liquid for her.
● [29:00] Dr. Larry asks her why is the incident in the plane cause KellyAnn to write her
book. It was a hard time for her; then she realizes that she needs to change and help
others. She thinks she was numb and viciously unhappy. Since then, she does a lot of
work to train her mind so it will not happen again.
● [31:18] Dr. KellyAnn said that we numb ourselves in many different ways. Work is one of
them, sometimes its alcohol. Sometimes it is gambling or sex. There are a million ways
that we develop addictive personalities to deflect. She thinks she is deflecting a lot of
things that are going on internally with her life. We can't bury things and we have to face
them because these emotions are tearing our bodies.
● [34:23] Life and success are interesting because when you first achieved success,
everybody wants to help you. You will get to a certain place that they want to destroy
you. Dr. KellyAnn found herself in a situation where she doesn't feel that the people
around her were well-intended; this can only happen when you don't have the self-worth
that you have. The most important thing in life is to know your worth.
● [36:00] If things going on in your personal life and you don't have a tight shift, it is tough
to go out to the world and feel that safety or feel that nurturing. We can't ignore it, and

we have to clean up. A lot of people that you see even in work have negative forces
around them that can take you down.
● [38:15] Dr. Larry shows Dr. KellyAnn's book called "Cleanse and Reset". Dr. KellyAnn
revolutionizes the idea of cleansing. For Dr. Larry, it is an idea to quick-fix things like
obesity.
● [41:35] Dr. KellyAnn said that the process of transformation is becoming aware. These
little tips and programs and the personal story in the book that you can live through and
learn from. She wants to be an example for them. This is not following every step;
people want to know what to do, so KellyAnn gave them what to do.
● [43:00] There are many people who crash their diet and get back again to the first step.
That is why Dr. KellyAnn's program is consists of real food that we can have in our diet
or put in our eating every day.
