Speaker 1:
This is the Berman Method podcast, featuring Dr Jake Berman and physician assistant Jenny Berman. We are here to treat problems and not symptoms. Disclaimer this podcast is for entertainment purposes only and not to treat anyone or to give medical advice. If you are interested in any information that we are giving and would like to use this for yourself, we recommend that you contact your primary care physician or reach out to us and ask us questions about yourself specifically. Enjoy.
Speaker 2:
And we're rolling into July baby with the Berman Method podcast, treating problems and not symptoms. Dr Jake Berman here with my beautiful co host, jenny Berman physician assistant.
Speaker 2:
And we are in July, a couple of days away from America's birthday, celebrating the best country in the world. If you don't like it, you can get out, and I mean that this is still the greatest country in the world, whether you like it or not. Especially in a year of elections, it seems like the media always does a phenomenal job of polarizing the country and exemplifying or amplifying or explicitly stating how bad everything is and how it needs to change and how things are not good. And it's just not true. It's not true at all. It is the really loud minority that's making all the noise and the silent majority is actually doing pretty damn good. They're actually happy, they actually love the country. They're actually not all racist. Can you believe that? If you don't think that America is still the greatest country in the world? Ask any immigrant what they think, any immigrant that's come over in the past hundred years, and they will say this is by far the greatest country in the world, because they've risked their lives to escape wherever they were, to come here with nothing, just for the chance at an opportunity, just for the chance to make something better for themselves and their family that you just can't do anywhere else. So for the whole entire month, we actually have our promotional thing for the entire month for upstairs and downstairs, health and wellness.
Speaker 2:
Pt golf is I want to hear why you love America so much. I want you to email me your story, make a video of it, call me, tell me the story and if you give me a good story not just I love America because of hot dogs, but it's actually a good story you will be entered into a drawing with a significant prize. Do you remember what it is off the top of your head? Hmm, I'm being sidetracked right now. I can't believe. I just spaced out, but it is something like $1,000. Yeah, it's $1,000 in credit to Berman Inc, I think it is.
Speaker 1:
That's what I was remembering.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so it's a ridiculous prize just for doing nothing except telling me why do you love America so much, why is this country the greatest country in the world? And tag us on social media and there's a whole point system so we'll link to the point system. If you email your store, it's one point. If you write it on social media and tag us, it's three points and you get entered in three times or something like that. Don't hold me to these details, but it's really easy to get your name in the drawing a bunch of times for a thousand bucks to us.
Speaker 1:
To any of the programs.
Speaker 2:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
Yes, Awesome. So July 4th week it's also one of our favorite weeks of the year. We've talked about it before, but take a family trip every year with my family's also the time that jake proposed to me back in 2014 is that what it was? Well, we got married in 2015, so had to have been 2014 10 years ago.
Speaker 2:
Oh wow, this is our 10-year anniversary of the proposal.
Speaker 1:
Yeah.
Speaker 2:
Oh my goodness, that's fun.
Speaker 1:
So, July 4th 2014, he proposed on his boat in the springs, in the front of my family and or our family and about 60,000 of our closest friends 60,000?. I don't know, it was a lot. Everybody in the springs was staring at us and clapping and driving by on their boats and giving us things.
Speaker 2:
It was fun. You loved all that attention, didn't you?
Speaker 1:
It was fantastic. I got so many red, white and blue things from strangers that day. It was beautiful. So 4th of July, yes, we love the week of 4th of July. We love spending time with family and friends, we love the memories, more importantly, loving the freedom and the country that we live in. And something else we wanted to talk about just quickly today, on this short 4th of July holiday episode, is our five favorite products right now.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, so these are always subject to change, because we're constantly trying to find the latest and greatest to promote to you guys, because it's always changing, there's always something new coming out, and these are our five favorite things that we're currently consuming at this moment.
Speaker 1:
Right. So, and we take these things on vacation with us to help with keeping ourself on track with our macros, knowing that there's going to be more sandwiches and wraps and chips and things like that.
Speaker 2:
So Beer and beer.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, oh, by the way, now that the word is out about baby Berman, I found a non-alcoholic White Claw. It's only 15 calories. It doesn't have the alcohol, so it doesn't have all the gross stuff that spikes your cortisol level and blood sugar level. And it's only 15 calories and it actually tastes like White Claw.
Speaker 1:
So you can go to Total Wine. These will not be linked on our Amazon account, but you can go to Total Wine and pick up the non-alcoholic white claws so that you feel so included on this holiday, but you're not getting as many calories or the alcohol to spike your blood sugar and your cortisol.
Speaker 2:
So there you go, so that was not supposed to be on the list but there you go.
Speaker 1:
So that was not supposed to be on the list, but there you go. So first thing that we're loving right now and they're not really new but that we're loving are the egg life wraps. So these are very low carb actually no carb wraps. I think they're like five calories each that are made from eggs. So if you have an egg sensitivity, I'm sorry it's not for you, but we find them at Fresh Market. We find them at Whole Foods. I believe Sprouts has them, walmart has them. We just need Publix to start carrying them. But they are refrigerated and they are very low carb wraps that you can use as taco shells that's our favorite thing to do with them or enchiladas. We also use them for wraps for lunch meat or to actually put eggs and chicken or turkey sausage inside of for a breakfast wrap.
Speaker 2:
And these are Jacob proved because, prior to finding these egg life wraps, we've gone through at least five, if not 10 or 15 different gluten-free wrap options and I always try one of them for a wrap, you know, for out on the boat or for a soft taco, because I love taco night, and I've never cared for any of them. And then, once I did this egg life wrap, I'm like, oh my goodness, this actually is better than a legit tortilla wrap, like it's just it's insane where it's like flour sorry, legit flour tortilla wrap because it's so light, yet the texture is good, it's durable, so it doesn't just rip apart like the vast majority of gluten-free wraps and it's it's, it is good.
Speaker 1:
Right, right, they're, and I was going to say that they're just light. You don't feel heavy after having them, they don't fall apart, low calorie, low carb, but you can still feel included to be eating tacos or having a wrap out on the beach or on the water. Speaking of wrap, the number two is also a wrap called the Bee Free B, as in boy free high protein wrap. So Bee Free has been around a long time and they're all gluten-free wraps and the sweet potato was the one we use the most frequently because it didn't fall apart, whereas they also have a quinoa one that just falls apart. The avocado one is not bad, but none of these, and they're they're decently low carb compared to other gluten-free wraps like the Mission or I don't know some of the other brands.
Speaker 1:
But these B-Free high protein wraps just came out and they actually have 11 grams of protein in them per wrap and they are higher in fiber, so the net carbohydrates is also lower. So these also have very good texture, don't fall apart, can be used as a wrap for a sandwich. They are larger, so even like a burrito size wrap, so those ones are good. They're not refrigerated, typically found in the deli section of your grocery store. I think they're also on Amazon, so I'll look for that link to post for you guys. But 11 grams of protein per wrap. So if you're struggling to get your protein in, this could be a good option for you as a lower carb option with high protein.
Speaker 2:
Nice.
Speaker 1:
So product number three is the Apex jalapeno meat sticks. So that's one of your favorites right now to take on the go when we're in a hurry grabbing a snack.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, it's essentially a Slim Jim, but it's so much healthier, so much more tastier, and I am a massive, massive fan of the jalapeno ones, and they've got a ton of different flavors. I just go back to the jalapeno every single time.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, and you like the zesty garlic too. They have a barbecue, they have a teriyaki, they have an original. So Apex A-P-E-X is a really great protein option or brand for meat sticks. They're clean, they have high protein Some of them. They're typically between 90 to 110 calories per stick, depending on the flavor. They're anywhere 10 to 11 grams of protein. So really easy, simple option that you can take without all the additives in them as far as a meat stick goes. Product number four is the I-1 protein crisps. Those are very popular. I like the letter I-W-O-N are a plant-based protein chip option. We like the crisps the best. You can use them as little chips for chips and salsa. You can make nachos out of them. They have a couple different flavors. There too. They are very low carb, even have a little bit of protein in them and delicious, so better than your tortilla chip that you can consume during the holidays.
Speaker 2:
Yes.
Speaker 1:
And the last product I'm going to talk about is the paleo protein almond powder. So it is a baking powder like a flour that you would bake with almond base, so it's gluten-free and actually has 10 grams of protein per serving Actually might have more than that 20. I got to fact check that but it is high protein per serving. So it really is great to be able to bake with so that you're not getting a lot of carbohydrates through regular flour and you're getting some protein. So we've been making the girls or we I have been making the girls these little brownies and chocolate chip cookies and this protein muffin in the morning that I'm using this paleo almond powder to boost up their protein and also give them some fiber through.
Speaker 2:
You can say we, because I'm doing the dishes.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, that's true, you do help with the dishes and you do the taste testing.
Speaker 2:
I do the taste testing To make sure it tastes good.
Speaker 1:
So this is a group effort.
Speaker 2:
Yes, stella does the mixing.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, the mess making. Yeah, vera just pulls everything out of the cabinets while we're doing it all.
Speaker 2:
And is the noisy support.
Speaker 1:
Yeah, she's loud. So the Paleo Protein Almond Powder. We will link these products on Amazon and post the Amazon link that we have so that you can find them easily. But just wanted to run through. People are always asking me what are the new favorite products, so just wanted to run through some of our favorites quickly. So we have the egg life wrap, the beef free high protein make sure you're finding the high protein wrap the apexpex Meat Sticks you love the jalapeno ones, but there are many flavors. We had the Iwan Protein Crisps and then the Paleo Almond Protein Powder.
Speaker 2:
Love it.
Speaker 1:
Happy July 4th everybody. Have a safe holiday. Especially if you're traveling, be careful with the fireworks.
Speaker 2:
Yep Fireworks Be careful with the grill there's going to be at least one person listening to this. That has some type of grill fire going on, so be careful.
Speaker 1:
Put your sunscreen on. Don't cut an avocado with a knife.
Speaker 2:
Yes, use your avocado cutter, not a knife, and go, team America. Don't forget about our challenge or our competition this week or this month. It's the whole month of july. You have the whole month to submit it and read the fine, the fine print on how you can get more points, not just one. So it is a point system. Somebody is going to get a thousand dollars in credit to health and wellness or physical therapy or golf or some type of combination of all three of them.
