Question?

Executive control refers to self-monitoring behaviors that help you reach your goals. These include things like focus, attention, and management of time.
Flexible thinking refers to our ability to shift our understanding of a circumstance or situation based on new information, new perspective, or shift in circumstances. When we lack flexibility, we may suffer with obsessiveness, anxiety, and difficulty relating well with others.

Hope that helps! – Coach Zoe

Is the video in which Tana and Dr. Daniel clean out someone’s pantry available online? I’ve tried to find it but can’t. Also, in the video on cleaning out your pantry, Tana refers to a list of things to clean out. Where can I find that list? Thank you very much for your assistance.

Here’s a link to the video. A complete list and guide can be found in The Brain Warrior’s Way book, but here is a general list of foods to ditch as you emphasize whole foods in their original form as much as possible:

• Bread, pasta, tortillas, and other foods that contain gluten

• Breakfast cereals

• Condiments such as ketchup, soy sauce, and barbecue sauce that contain sugar, artificial ingredients, excessive salt, or gluten

• Corn (including popcorn, cornbread, and popped corn chips)

• Dairy foods such as milk, cheese, cream, yogurt, and ice cream

• Foods with genetically modified ingredients

• Foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup or trans (hydrogenated) fats

• Foods that contain sugar, artificial sweeteners, or soy

• Fruit juice (even 100% fresh!)

• Grain-based foods (cereal, rice, instant oatmeal, wheat, barley, rye, and corn)

• Jams, jellies, pancake syrup

• Most cooking oils (corn, safflower, canola, soy)

• Peanuts

• Processed frozen dinners

I got the pantry clean-out video. Thank you. In that video, it refers to doing a fridge cleanout. I’d love to see that one too but don’t see a link to it on the site you gave me. I’ve tried searching it other ways and now figure they never did one for the fridge.
