Today Dave Kirby recaps his conversation with Julia Loggins on episodes 286 - 289, plus shares some of his own thoughts on our our body to be its own healer.

Author Julia Loggins talks about that “something”inside of us that sabotages us during the moments when we want to turn things around. For some people, it could be childhood trauma, for others a lack of self-respect. Julia shares some simple and practical tips in today’s episode to chip away at the sabotaging part of ourselves, allowing us to find our way to the health and happiness we deserve.

Author Julia Loggins explains the connection between our wellness and the acid/alkaline balance in our bod-ies. She says the toxins in our environment make it important to give a little extra focus on that balance. We are now living in a much more toxic environment than our ancestors, and that toxic environment has a huge effect on our toxicity.

Julia Loggins talks about The Lymph System. Our bodies are 75-80% fluid, mostly comprised of blood and the lymphatic fluid. The lymphatic fluid handles flushing toxins out of our body. It is also in charge of our level of inflammation. And inflammation has been tied to most -if not all- the disease we experience. Julia gives us some simple advice and tips on how to maximize the efficiency of our lymph system.

Most of us don’t know the incredible power we all have within us. Author Julia Loggins reveals that our bodies and minds have an outstanding power to come to our rescue.  All we need to do is just open up our minds and hearts to the possibility that this inner healer exists.

Charlie Hoehn had it all: a successful career, good money, living his dreams. But he found himself so overworked and burned out that he started having panic and anxiety attacks. He realized he needed to make a change in his life. His remedy? Play. On this episode Dave Kirby recaps episodes 281-284 where Charlie Hoehn shares lessons from his book, “Play It Away: A Workaholic's Cure for Anxiety.”

Author Charlie Hoehn shares how most of us are not aware how insidious our lifestyle and habits are in erod-ing the quality of our lives. Most illnesses are a result of social isolation, sleep deprivation, or nutritional defi-ciency. Charlie gives us three suggestions to remedy our stress:

•Engage in healthy play.

•Take a 20-minute nap every day.

•Have meals with people you love as a natural way to cure anxiety and    improve the quality of your life and overall happiness. 

Author Charlie Hoehn talks about anchors, the things that keep holding you in place or pulling you back, agi-tating your anxiety and stress. The anchors are points in your environment or your daily interactions that you have to let go of (or replace) to find the balance and peace you want in your life. 

Author Charlie Hoehn talks about how the concept of play or rest is a paradox. Technically your productivity is zilch during that time. You are taking time away from work. But that time off refreshes the mind and allows you to reboot. You come back, and the quality of your work and the speed at which you churn it out is so much better than somebody who’d been working non-stop.
