Wake Up Call

012: Holistic Approaches to Health & Wellness with Dr. Lisa Merritt


Listen Later

For today’s episode, I interviewed Dr. Lisa A. Merritt, a Chiropractor, Naturopath, and founder of Weddington Chiropractic Wellness Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Dr. Merritt helps her clients by taking a holistic approach to what she calls the “triangle of health”: structural, nutrition, and emotional. If you’ve experienced a lot of aches and pains in conjunction with your anxiety, or if you’re just starting a health journey, this is the episode for you! Dr. Merritt breaks down how stress and anxiety can play a role in your structural health and wellness.

Some of Dr. Merritt’s tips include:

  • If you’re just beginning a holistic health journey, take baby steps. A good first baby step is improving your posture (Dr. Merritt gives tips on how to do this in the episode!).
  • When it comes to nutrition, focus on eating more vegetables and drinking more water. Experiment with new healthy recipes and enjoy alcohol and sugar in moderation.
  • To avoid stress from miscommunication, try using the phrase “so what I hear you saying is…” and repeat back what you understood.
  • Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
