A Better Way To Heal

Ready to make a real, POSITIVE change in your health?

"the numbers on the scale aren't changing."
"I'm not losing weight."

If not seeing falling numbers on the scale is what you define your "success" with? You need to rethink your whole strategy!! 

In fact... go ahead and THROW THAT SCALE AWAY.

I hear this so much, that I needed to unpack this today and talk about weight loss resistance today so you can get your year off on the right foot mentally and physically.

Did you know that there is a significant connection between the bacteria in your gut and a healthy heart?

It's true.

I'm talking all about it today on the podcast!

It's something not a lot of people realize and it's something I need to share with you guys. I'm breaking down some medical studies by Harvard Medical School, and some of the more technical terms so that it's easy to understand and digest. (get it??)

Not only that, but today's podcast is going to focus in on how you can strengthen your heart health. If you struggle with high blood pressure or have a history of heart issues in your family history, this episode is for you!

Do you struggle with sleep? 

Me too. It's been an issue for me for a long time.

Did you know that when you sleep less, your body actually has less time to detox?

Chronic sleep deprivation looks like...⁠
❌Difficulty staying on task.⁠
❌Lack of ability to focus in monotonous situations on repetitive tasks.⁠
❌Falling asleep in school or during meetings at work.⁠
❌Difficulty learning.⁠
❌Mood changes like anxiety, depression or paranoia.⁠
❌Decreased alertness while driving or operating dangerous machines.⁠
⁠
Did you know that when we don't get enough sleep it can cause SERIOUS medical issues in our bodies?⁠
⁠
Yup. Things as serious as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure or stroke.⁠😲⁠
⁠
Research also links lack of sleep to an increase of the stress hormone cortisol in the body!⁠
⁠
A few tips to try to get that all important sleep in:⁠
🌱Wake up at the same time every morning⁠
🌿Avoid Naps⁠
🌱Say NO to caffeinated beverages, nicotine and even some medications⁠

Time to say NO to the hustle or die mentality and put sleep back on our list of priorities.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Marissa Brooke Donnell on my podcast and I'm sharing her story, the story of her family, her puppies and background on life. And there's so much powerful information here!

Here's a little sneak peek from Marissa herself:

"I know you all know Talon’s vaccine injury/autism story. But many of you who I’ve befriended over the last year may not know the obstacles Talon overcame before during and after all of that. 

At my 20 week ultrasound, we found out Talon would be born with Fibular Hemimelia and Congenital Femoral Deficiency. His right leg had a fibula the size of a pin, his tibia and femur were shorter than the left, he had no ACL in his knee and no ankle bone. Many kids with these conditions are born with less than 5 toes and hip issues too but Talon thankfully escaped both of those. 

From 12 months old to 4 years old, he had a total of 10 surgeries. 3 of which were planned/correctional surgeries. The other 7 were due to bone infections that stemmed from the surgeries. We’ve spent many many nights/weeks in hospital rooms. We’ve had to watch him roll into the OR more times than I’d like. But despite it all, he goes through life smiling and does not let his leg slow him down. 

Originally, he was predicted to have a 12-14 cm length discrepancy at full maturity which would mean 2-3 leg lengthening surgeries. But by the grace of God, we’re only looking at a 3-5 cm discrepancy and 1 lengthening surgery OR a shortening of the other leg. We’re not sure why it went down so much (that’s not usually the case), but because of his autism he really doesn’t do well in the hospital so we are eternally grateful. 

I’ve recently learned that kids with MTHFR should not have laughing gas before surgery and he’s had it at least 4-5 times. 2 times before his autism diagnosis, so could also be a contributing factor (as well as the anesthesia, antibiotics, crap food, etc). 

Our 4.5 years with him so far have been an absolute roller coaster, but he has taught us patience, he has taught us how to stay positive in shitty situations and above all, his conditions have taught us to advocate for ourselves and our kids when we have a gut feeling that a doctor is wrong."

LADIES! Do you feel like your hormones are running the show?

This podcast is for you. It's personal, and I'm diving into the deep end and talking about how hormones have too MUCH control.

Why? Because our gut isn't balanced properly.

So let's chat about hormones and the microbiome.

When we have an overgrowth of bad bacteria - it MASSIVELY affects our estrogen levels.

In this episode, I'm going to talk to you about Estrogen Dominance.

- What it means
- How it affects your health
- The symptoms it causes

We're also going to dive into how hormone replacement meds and birth control can affect your health, too.

I'm going to walk you through the more technical side of the bodies ability to detox and how that affects those hormone levels while weaving in a little personal details of my own struggles with amenorrhea and migraines.

If this is you - don't miss this episode!
