Probiotics is a major global industry. But like any industry, it had to have a beginning. Natasha Trenev is the daughter of an Eastern European family where the manufacturing of yogurt was a generational business. When Natasha emigrated to the US in the 1960’s, she brought with her 750 years of family experience with probiotics – and introduced the science (and the term itself) to her new country. Today, Natasha’s California-based Natren, Inc. is the recognized pioneer in probiotics and company founder Natasha Trenev has earned recognition as the Mother of Probiotics. Her more than 50 years of work in natural health is at the core of the unparalleled success of her company – and you will benefit from her depth of expertise in each and every episode of THE POWER OF PROBIOTICS.
Probiotics are live microrganisms that are commonly referred to as ‘friendly,’ ‘good’ or ‘healthy’ bacteria that function to help maintain the natural balance of organisms in the intestine. Throughout Natasha’s extensive work in the field of probiotics, she has always been amazed by how nature provides the very ‘good’ bacteria that can help overpower ‘bad’ bacteria to keep our digestive tracts functioning at peak performance. Properly cultivating friendly bacteria and ensuring their potency is at the core of the Natren Process. Natren is cited – by retailers, by the medical community and by consumers – as the best probiotic supplement available. Only Natren carefully chooses its probiotic cultures, formulates and manufactures its industry standard probiotics in its own plant and utilizes a specially-formulated oil matrix to protect probiotics bacteria to survive until they reach their destination in the upper small intestine. This is why only Natren is the most trusted probiotic supplement on the market. Truly, where other probiotic supplements promise – Natren Delivers.
To learn more about how probiotics can benefit your health, we are proud to introduce you to THE POWER OF PROBIOTICS with The Mother of Probiotics, Natasha Trenev.

For over 25 years Dr. Nancy Simpkins, a Board Certified Internist, with a practice in Livingston, NJ, has been involved in all aspects of internal medicine, with a focus on women’s health.

Her father, also a doctor, was known as the original “Marcus Welby.” Dr. Simpkins attended Bucknell University and graduated cum laude in 1980 with a degree in psychology. She originally planned on getting a PhD in psychology when her mother said, “Why spend 5 years getting that degree when you can get a medical degree in four years?” Her mother’s insight aided Dr. Simpkins’ decision to attend medical school instead.
Dr. Simpkins graduated from The Chicago Medical School in 1984 and passed the National Board of Medical Examiners certification exam one year later. She completed both her internship and residency in internal medicine at Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx.

Transcription
RadioMD Presents: Naturally Savvy | Original Air Date: Wednesday, February 4, 2015
Hosts: Andrea Donsky, RHN and Lisa Davis, MPH
Guest: Barb Schmidt
Lisa: Wouldn’t it be nice to have an easy practice that could help you feel a bit more peaceful, less stressful and more mindful? Well, we have got the practice for you. We have got Barb Schmidt who is actually the author of The Practice: Simple Tools for Managing Stress, Finding Inner Peace, and Uncovering Happiness. She joins us now. Hi, Barb.
Barb: Hi, happy Wednesday.
Lisa: It’s so great to have you on the program. I understand that The Practice is made up of a 3 point framework. What are they and how do they work?
Barb: Great question. The 3 point framework is really a recipe guide; I call it book of recipes. You start the day waking up, and what do you do to start the day? You get out of bed and spend some time with yourself, sort of a meditation practice, really connecting with you before you launch into the day. I tell people to plug into you first before you start plugging into the rest of the world. That’s the first thing to do, waking up. Then we carry that mindfulness, that connectedness to ourselves, that peacefulness, to the living present.
The second part of the day is the living present. How do I do that? I practice on focusing attention and I have some exercise in there. How do I bring my mind back to the moment? We only have this moment. The mind likes to carry us away, how do I continue to bring my mind back to the moment with a breath, with the use of a mantra? Then I really talk to the third part of the living present. How do we start nourishing ourselves with some reading that is other than the things that are out there? Like this show, listening and reading and watching things that are actually nourishing and causing us to raise the level of our consciousness. Not eliminating the other things, but adding this into your day.
Then, at the end of the day, is the letting go. How do we reflect on the day, make peace with it? Go through a little 5 minute exercise and really set that intention of letting go of the day. I’ve done the best I can. I can’t change anything. How can I go into a peaceful night’s sleep, waking up tomorrow with a brand new day? Full of energy and not burdened with what happened yesterday. That’s The Practice.
Lisa: I think that sounds like an amazing practice. What about for those that are going through, let’s say, acute stress. Would you recommend keeping the same type of protocol, or is there another protocol that you have in place?
Barb: Acute stress for me, what has happened during my 30 years of practice, acute stress comes when I’m not able to be in the moment, feeling the feelings that are happening. Usually when I’m feeling the most stressed it’s because I’m in the past, ruminating over something, or I’m in the future, worrying or having some anxiety over what might happen. This practice of sitting down with yourself in a meditation practice, five minutes – I’m not talking about anything long, when you read the book there is no right or wrong way to do it. It’s really just being. What happens when you get out of your mind and start focusing on your breath or the mantra, whatever tool or object that you pick? You start to enter your heart. The heart is our biggest energy field. It’s where we are sensitive. It’s where we feel things. Most stresses are caused by not actually feeling or identifying what’s going on with me in the moment so I can release it. The technique of sitting with yourself, feeling, then letting go, it’s the same thing all day long. How do I actually do that? How do I be in this moment and feel it so that I can understand it and release it.
Lisa: Now Barb, I know that you have a new initiative for athletes and coaches and you call it ‘Zen Sports.’ What is that?
Barb: I do. I’m a sports fan, for sure. We can be mindful, and I’m teaching this practice and I’m teaching how to be mindful to the ordinary moments of our day in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening. So I’m looking at sports. What causes a player to be able to make that field goal at the end of the game? He has to be in the moment. He has to know full, and in his body, that he can make that field goal. My greatest desire is helping to teach athletes that mindfulness, having that peak performance on the field, but ultimately, that practice carries off the field. Some of the things we see happening today in the NFL, and with athletes in general, can start to subside if I can learn how to manage my anger, manage my stress, and bring myself back to the moment and take a breath. I might not be so quick to lash out at a person or lash out and make a decision in my life that’s going to affect me for the rest of my life. I’m really looking at how does the athlete really embody himself or herself on the field and off the field and really live their greatest life on the field and off the field. That curriculum based on The Practice, helps athletes, coaches and trainers do this.
Lisa: It seems like that can help everyone. It could help ‘Zen Moms.’ Zen at work, right? Taking those principals and dealing with our anger. Andrea?
Andrea: I love that you said that.
Barb: It is what I’m doing. I started this non-profit, Peaceful Mind, Peaceful Life, so all of the profits from everything that I do go into this non-profit. The programs are Zen Sports and I’m teaching autistic adults, I’ve been working with autistic adults now for a year. Helping them realize that they are complete, they are magnificent. You know, they have a tendency to feel like they don’t matter or they don’t measure up to other people because they do have this autism. It’s been an amazing practice for me to work with them; they’ve taught me so much. The Practice is for everyone. It’s your way of empowering yourself, getting yourself grounded on your own 2 feet, walking the life you came to walk, knowing that you’re complete, knowing that you’re strong, knowing that the external world is out there and chaotic and frenzied and anxiety producing, but it’s not who you really are. It’s for everyone.
Andrea: I really like that, especially working with the autistic adults. My daughter is on the spectrum and she has a lot of issue with self-regulation. Have you noticed that with these folks, and you have been able to help them?
Barb: Yes I have and yes I have been able to help them. I’ll tell you one of the greatest stories, I meet with them once a week, and one of the greatest stories one of the young men told me gives me goose bumps every time I hear it. He said “Mrs. Barb, I’m able now to take a breath.” He gets very anxious if the bus doesn’t come on time. The patience level for him in particular has been pretty high. He’s had difficulty finding the patience. He said “Mrs. Barbara, now I take a deep breath and I realize that I can’t control that, but I can control my patience or my anger or my frustration.” What happened was he was able to that and he let the bus driver know, because they’re at the mercy of these people driving the bus, and they really haven’t been very kind, let’s just put it that way. They show up late or they leave them without any notice that they were there to be picked up. He was able to take a breath and let the bus driver know “You left without me yesterday and that wasn’t good for me because I didn’t have a ride then.” I was so proud of him because usually he’s just angry and frustrated and takes it out on himself. “It was my fault, I was late, or I did something wrong.” Looking at how I contributed you this instead of taking a breath, separating a little bit from that anger, but saying: “Look, don’t do that anymore.” He was literally running after the bus down the street. The guy left him. It’s a process and it’s a practice and it’s so rewarding to see how do you disconnect from this anxiety and craziness of the external world and get connected to you within and start acting in a way that’s in your best interest and in the best interest of everyone around you.
Andrea: Hey Barb, can you move in with me?
Barb: I would love to.
Andrea: I need help.
Barb: That’s so cute. You know what my greatest desire is? It’s for people to empower themselves and understand how complete and whole and strong and wonderful they are. Everyone, no matter who we are, we have that depth within us of who we truly are, and we don’t need to be having the external world tell us who we are and what we need to think and be. We need to embody exactly who we are. We can only do that by spending time with ourselves. With the autistic adult group, we spend time as a group, but they also are starting to spend time with themselves. I’m teaching them a 1 minute meditation where they can actually sit with themselves for a minute, just to bring their attention back to their breath just for a minute.
Andrea: I think that’s so important. I love what you’re saying and I think it goes beyond that. We’re out of time for today, but it goes beyond that. I love the points that you’re bringing up. So Barb, where can people find out about you if they want to learn more about what you’re doing or want to get your book?
Barb: The Practice meets you where you are today and that’s what I love the most. I’m on www.BarbSchmidt.com and www.PeacefulMindfPeacfulLife.org. Either one of those two sites. It’s been a joy to be here, we’ll have to do this again.
