How the Immune System Really Works

Hi, this is Eva Vennari, and I'm so happy to be here at the request and invitation of Shelley. So, and I'm glad to be a new member here. So this is great. We get to play today. We get to have some time to talk about how the body really works. And this is a new thing for me. I was going to share my regular haunts, you know, the, you know, it's good to drink your water. It's, it's, it's good to get your rest and your sleep, and there's a difference between the two. and there's, there's also some things, you know, about being grateful that's helpful to our immune system, but today I came up with something new. It was 10 o'clock this morning and I went, you know what, I think they deserve something more, more, we need more, we need more right now especially. So again, I'm Eva Vennari and I'm the owner and founder of the Elevate Institute and my primary focus is to help support the immune system naturally, no drugs, No trendy supplements, no fad diets, just simple things that tap into your body's natural ability to heal. That's why we're here. That's why I'm here. I want to support you because we're all busy overachievers. And if you're not, maybe you're in the wrong place. But I gotta say, I think we're in the right place. We're a bunch of overachievers and we like to get things done and we want to impact the world. And we can't do that unless we are feeling good. So I want to share with you, yes, How the body works, how it really works, and it's different than what you think. And I'm going to give you some tools to say, you know what? I'm so glad I watched today, watched Eva, and learned what she had to say because you're going to learn something about yourself, not about me. That's not important. This is about how you can take care of you best right now in these crazy times, and it is crazy, and we're all going through it together. So I know I'm excited, and I talk a little fast, so I'm gonna do my best to. Slow down. So thanks again for being here. So let's, let's talk about this, like, why, why am I here? What is, what is the reason why I feel like I'm some sort of expert that can be talking about any of this? Look, I was 20 when I was told I've got autoimmune disorder, and I ended up with scarlet fever. And I gotta say, who gets scarlet fever? Nobody. Who gets, who gets that anymore? I had it. And it was, it's a virus, you know, something that was dormant somewhere, somebody had it around me, and I was so low in my vitality, my internal vitality, and, or you can call it the stress of the body, that I actually came down with scarlet fever. And if you've, if you've never had it, well, thank your lucky stars. But if you think that the coronavirus is bad, if you've had that, this is worse. So as a result, I was quarantined personally. For about 6 weeks, I had people ding-dong-doring— ding-dong-ditching my food because they were so afraid of getting the scarlet fever themselves. And that was just the beginning. So from there, I ended up being married shortly after, unrelated entirely to the scarlet fever, but I ended up getting married. And I had become pregnant by the time I was 21, 22, something like that. A year later, I had a miscarriage, or within a short time, I had a miscarriage. And then a year later, I was told I was infertile. No one said that infertility and immune systems are related. No one said that to me. And I thought, what a poignant thing to put together. So put a pin in that for a later date. But things escalated. And I went through menopause at 28. And I got to tell you, that was really confusing. I had friends and family who saw my face and they said, Eva, you look really tired. I don't know what's going on with you. Your complexion is gray. It's like patchy. It's weird looking. I had hair that was— I have to color my hair because I went gray at 20. Scarlet Fever, right? I went gray very early. And so now I color my hair, but I have thyroid problems. I was told I had chronic fatigue eventually, anxiety, insomnia, depression, fibromyalgia, all of those incurable invisible illnesses that I was told cannot be helped with anything other than patchwork medication. And I said, you know what, that's not for me. And I have that principle I said earlier: no fads, no trends, no drugs. And I mean it. And I reversed my own personal issues, all of those things. I had 30+ symptoms and diagnoses. Some of you heard my story, you know what they are. So just a few that I mentioned, that's the tip of the iceberg. I reversed all of them, including my infertility issues, all the way back. And it took a little while, took a little time, but really what it took was learning how the body worked, tapping into that, and we're gonna tap into each of that, each of yours today. What is your key strength? What is it that you need to heal in this crazy time? So I want to talk about a few things, so some fundamentals that are key so that we're all on the same page. One, the body does heal itself. So how does it do that? You give it what it needs. When you give your body what it needs, it heals itself. And the next question is, How do you know what it needs? Well, we're going to give that key, one of the keys for your healing today. We're going to talk about that. My work is based in hair mineral testing. What is that all about? Again, we're not getting into that today. I just want to tell you that's the fundamental. Give the body what it needs, it heals itself. Hi Michelle! Hi Renate! Renate, I'm sorry, I'm probably mispronouncing that. I just want to say hi. Um, when we Give our body what it needs. It does this process, and I'm going to see if I can share my screen with you. And it looks like I cannot. Anyways, I'm back. Okay, I'll figure that out another time. We were testing to see what I could and couldn't do, but I wanted to show you, and I can always upload the video or the picture, and you can see what it looks like. We have what's called the four stages of healing. That works directly with what I call the Vital Healing Account, or the VHA. This is your vitality. How well does your body— hey, Blondie— how well does your body go through the processes of taking all of those nutrient minerals that you take in, your food, your water, your drink, everything that you breathe in, everything that sits against your skin? Because guess what? Laundry detergent that's caustic, that you don't want to, like, take in your mouth, It doesn't always wash out of your laundry and it goes right into your system because it sits against your skin all day long, so make sure that you are, side note, again, change out your laundry detergents and your softeners, natural stuff. Okay, so anyways, your body takes in all of that stuff and there's no doorman, there's nobody that says, hey, you're a toxin, stay out. It all goes in, it's a party. It could be toxic metals, it could be viruses, it could be bacteria, it could be mold, it could be— Of course, heavy metals. All of these things are readily available in our daily lives, all around us, because why? We don't live in a bubble and we want our modern conveniences. I do too. The question is, how well are we fortifying the body? So important to get nutrition, and I'm not just talking about how much fiber is in an apple, you know, I'm talking about the stuff we're made of. What is it that fills all of the gaps in our body so that we are firing on all pistons, so that we can think clearly, so we can have those great conversations, so that we can close the deals, so that we can be of service to our clientele. You know, that's why we're here. We're here to serve a mission, all of us are. So, okay, let's get started. What are the 4 stages of healing? Well, we've got that vital healing account. Imagine it's just like your cell phone, you know, You build up the battery on that and then you use it throughout the day. This right here is the important thing. You're born with a vital healing account. It's actually something that you inherit. You inherit from your family, your parents. How well did they treat their immune system? What kind of environment were you built in? You know, the imbalances are passed from mother to child in the womb, so you're not born perfect. Oh my God. We're not born perfect. We're not. Absolutely. And you can see that on hair tests. You can see that a mother's test and a daughter's test are identical. And I, I've had 3 different generations to show that they work. It's just passed from mother to child. I just want to hone that in. So you're not born with a, a perfect state of being. We want to find out where you are and what serves you best. And so when we look at that vital healing account. You can see it in how well your body responds throughout the day to the stresses of the world. When we wake up every morning now, we're looking at what's new with the coronavirus, what's going on. Do we have to wear a mask? Do we not have to wear a mask? Do we have, you know, do— can we, can we have a live event? Can we hug somebody? All of these new things are coming into us, and every single time there is a new Sorry, let me turn off my phone. I got people— I'm not popular really, I just sound off. So when we have everything coming at us like that, it's really difficult to overcome constant change. It is, we're feeling it. So I want to give you some tools that can help you overcome that easily, and it's personalized just to you. So listen to this. First stage of healing is building that battery pack. How do we do that? I'm going to share that with you in a minute. Second stage is the body automatically, as soon as it reaches 100%, just like when you're installing a piece of software, you know, your apps, and you look at it and you're like, I want to install that. It gets to 100% and then it starts to do the work and installation, and then you can open it up and use it. Body's the same way. So whatever it is that the body needs to work on, whether that's a heavy metal A nutrient mineral that's out of balance. Yes, you can have things in your body that are supposed to be there but are stored because it doesn't have its correlating other nutrients it needs to process. That causes stress and inflammation too. You can have viruses that come into your body that are there forever. And can I just tell you, remember I shared that I had scarlet fever? Guess what? When I started this healing process, scarlet fever reared its ugly head. my body, even though I was on 6 weeks of antibiotics, hadn't killed it off, but it finally did as soon as I started to support my body's immune system. That's phase 2, right? Phase 2 is it breaks, it picks something, the body says, I'm gonna pick this one thing on my back burner list of items. For me, it was, let's just call it that, it was the scarlet fever. My body had 100% of its energy needed to heal that process, that virus. From the age of 20 I had it, from the age of— to the age of 36 is when I finally healed it. And during that time, it was banging around causing inflammation inside my body, causing all kinds of other issues in addition to the other things I had going on. So phase 2 is the body finds that thing, and for me it was that virus, and it says, I'm gonna fight it off because I have 100%— that vital healing account was 100% ready to take it on. And it did. And I woke up one morning at the age of 36, and I had this full-blown account of— I recognized it because it's difficult— scarlet fever. And I went through the healing process for 3 days, and my body finally cleared it out. So every single time your body goes through a healing, you experience what your body's trying to heal. It's active and in your bloodstream. Did you know that? So toxic metals, dental work, people who have the— what's that called when you get the shots? Novocaine, right? I've had people wake up and they go, oh Eva, I've got numbness in my face. I haven't had dental work. Ah, your body's finally ready to get rid of that medicine. Medicines, chemicals, drugs, all of those things that come out when it's ready. When your body has what it needs, it heals itself. Okay, so Days 3. Now the body is cleaning things up. It's getting rid of the old toxins. It's pushing it out through your kidneys, through your liver, through your skin. Did you know that the very first place your body tries to get rid of heavy metals and toxins is through the nasal passages? So when you wake up with a stuffy nose, guess what that means? You've got toxins that are trying to get out. That's all it is. So through your skin, of course, through the normal exit systems, exit routes, it's going to go out through urine, through fecal matter. All of that is where things go. Now, phase 4 is rebuilding. And remember, all of this time, that vital healing account is energizing this whole process. Okay. Phase 4 is rebuilding. You have to have the energy to rebuild, and that energy comes from the vital healing account. This is what we're going to talk about protecting today. And in order to rebuild it, you need to know what your body responds best to, to rebuild that healing energy account. So this is also a time in phase 4 when we need more rest. You may find that you need to sleep more than your typical 6 to 8 hours in a night. You may find that an afternoon nap is beneficial. You may find you don't want to go out and socialize. And right now, that's, you know, that's neither here nor there. But later, when we are allowed to go out freely, you may find that you want to do that less when you're in a rebuilding stage. And then after phase 4 is done, it's back to rebuilding that battery pack, phase 1. Okay, so what does that have to do with the secret juice that I'm going to share with you in a minute? You want to support your body. And I wanted to show you this picture, but I can't right now. I can't figure it out. So I'll share the picture. Um, here I have it. Hold on. GIF, picture, post, share a GIF, insert emoji. I'll do it later. I'll share all this stuff later. Okay, so I have pictures for you. The idea is we're looking at a face and we can see what our body responds to For that vital healing energy account by looking at the face. Okay, you ready? Here it is. So if you have a horizontal line between your eyebrows, that's what we're looking for. Get really close to your mirror and look. I don't have one, but a lot of people do. It's right here. What does that mean? This means that you accumulate more vital energy for healing By eating good quality foods that you absolutely love. Okay? So horizontal line, eating good quality foods that you love. So it's not just like going out and having a Twinkie day binge. Okay? That's not what it's about. This is about— this is about good quality whole foods that are nutritious to you, that you know are good for you, but you love to eat. This is where, you know, when you eat something and you go, mmm, oh my God, that's so— that's me. People who are around me when I'm eating and I enjoy my food, they hear me. And I don't mean to do it, but I do it anyway. Mmm, that's good, you know? Okay, so food. If you have the horizontal line here, food is really important for you. Okay? Under here, there's a line that can form between the bottom of the nose and the top of your lip. And it's the horizontal line here. If you develop this line, then the best way for you to restore your vital healing account is through breath, breathwork. And there's all kinds of ways out there to do breathwork, but the one that I recommend the most for those of you who have this line is to focus on quick breaths in and a long— Exhale. Breaths out. Imagine that you are now a wind instrument player. I've been playing flute since the age of nine, right? And that requires you to go get your breath in and then out. You know what? Even if you don't have this line, even if you have a line here, even if you have a line somewhere else, doesn't matter. You can use that and you'll feel the energy change in your body. You immediately. Can feel less stress. You know, the anxiety decreases, your willingness to, to, um, to watch the news or to be involved in anxiety conversations or difficult conversations— and there's so much opportunity for that right now— to get involved. You just want to simply focus on breathing. And while you're breathing, you're living from here. Okay, so that's 2. If you have a line Here, I have it. See this one here? Right there. You have the line there. Then you will notice that you regain energy not by retiring, quitting, ending something you're doing, but by transitioning. So for me, I noticed this recently. We're almost done, we're just wrapping this up, but I want to share this with you. So When I was in high school, I was really comfortable with going from class to class, focusing on one subject, coming out of it, going for a 5-minute walk to my next class, you know, focusing on the next subject. That transition fed me, it gave me energy, whereas some people it depletes them. But there's a common knowledge as business owners we're supposed to focus on one thing until that's like the plates are spinning or the pump is primed, whatever that is. And I found myself burning out. Maybe that's you too. And the burning out method of focusing on one thing until I got bored or tired of it, or like, this isn't working for me, I lost my excitement. And then I remembered one morning, and this wasn't all that long ago, maybe a couple of months, and I realized, you know, I was really happy when I was going from class to class. And I remembered that. I had that visceral memory. And So I decided to take all these projects that I had on my back burner list of items to do and put them in the forefront and act like I was in school again. And so I would give myself an hour and a half on each subject and just go from one to the other. So for me, it's transition. And later on in life, I'm not going to retire this business ever. I'm not going to retire working ever. And it's something that I'm going to try and transition into something new. This is already my third major career. I was in information technology for 10 years. and I was an architectural rep working in natural stone for 16. That's how I burnt myself out and learned systems for how to build this business, the Elevate Institute. So anyways, all of that said, I want to share with you, and you're going to see that in the notes, um, if you want help reading your face, I can show you if you have something. Yes, which, which method of energy healing is best for you, um, or maybe you have something going on in your body and you're not quite putting your thumb on it, not quite putting the finger. What is going on? I can look at your face. We'll do a free face reading. The link is in the chat. And we can see if you have anything going on with your liver, your heart, your kidneys, your spleen, if you've found your life purpose. We can see all of that. And you know what? These are my eyes on your face. So I need you— no makeup. Got it? I've got makeup on. It's not fair. But I need to see you without makeup. Because it's the color, tone, and texture of the, of the skin that really matters and gives us the best results. So if you're willing and you want to find out more information, I invite you to submit your selfie, and I've got the link in the description box on this video. Love to learn more about you and get to know you better, and anything that I can provide to help you get through your days every day today. More vital energy is needed, not less. How do we do that? I hope I provided some kind of value for you today, and I look forward to participating in this group again in the future. That's all for me today. Again, it's Eva Vennari with the Elevate Institute, and I still look forward to meeting you.
