A Healthy Curiosity

Today we're discussing energy – not in the Chinese Medicine sense of the word, but how to find more of it. The lack of energy is something that comes up often with many of the people I work with and it's something we have all felt at one time or another. My guest Evan Hirsch will shed some light on the difference between feeling tired and chronic fatigue and how we can fix it in our own personal way.

Dr. Evan, as he is affectionately known, is the best selling author of Fix Your Fatigue: The 4 step process to resolving chronic fatigue, achieving abundant energy and reclaiming your life! He is one of the nation's leaders on finding the root causes of chronic fatigue and resolving them. Dr. Evan suffered with chronic fatigue himself for 5 years before he achieved resolution using the Fix Your Fatigue Program that he developed at the Hirsch Center for Integrative Medicine in Olympia, Washington. He has helped hundreds of people resolve their chronic fatigue and is on a mission to help 100,000 more through his blog, online courses, books, 1-on-1 consults and the training of providers.

"It is so important for people to step into their own power. For them to realize how important self-care is and that they deserve it. You don't get better until you prioritize yourself." – Dr. Evan Hirsch

On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• Why are we so tired?
• 15 different causes or "usual suspects" of fatigue.
• What things we can do to avoid overloading ourselves with toxins that can overburden us and cause fatigue.
• Is there a commonly overlooked cause of fatigue?
• A test you can do on your own for infection.
• Why exercising can become a vicious cycle for fatigue and how to avoid that cycle.
• How much of the fatigue we feel relates to mold that we don't realize exists in our homes and places of work.
• What is the difference between fatigue and chronic fatigue?
• Is there something more specific that we should all know about when it comes to chronic fatigue?

In this episode, we dive deep into the topic of chronic pain, specifically how and why it affects some more than others.

"I have found that in every situation where there is some kind of pain or problematic issue, there is always an emotional, mental or psychological component to it. Always. They are not separate" – Deborah Wayne

On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• Why is it that some people have to live with chronic pain and others don't?
• Is there always an underlying emotional or psychological issue that relates to chronic physical pain?
• What do we know about the science of the biofield? Is it measurable? Is it just a matter of belief?
• How can people get in touch with what's happening in the biofield? How can we work with it?
• Can anyone work with the biofield?
• How does working with the biofield help us bridge the gap between what we're doing now and what we'd like to be doing?

We discuss some fascinating topics in today's podcast, including biohacking and how it allows us to take control over physiology in ways that we don't normally think of. We also talk about the importance of sleep. My guest Arvin Khamseh shares his thoughts on why sleep is so crucial to a healthy and a happy life. He also sheds some light on some sleep hacking techniques that can have a big impact on getting a good night's sleep.

Arvin Khamseh is an Oxford-trained geek and graduate of the National Organization of Development of Exceptional Talents. He is a contributor to publications such as Thrive Global, American Student Dental Association (ASDA) and Medium and Better Humans. Arvin's expert advice has been featured in the top named Inc. Magazine podcast: Conscious Millionaire and he has spoken on stage at one of the largest health and fitness retreats on the east coast. After extensive lab research, self-experimentation and personal mentoring, he was able to add 215 lbs. to his deadlift, help his mother easily lose over 30 lbs. and has reversed two dental cavities.

"It is possible to maximize our sleep quality. The challenge is remembering what it was like to get a good night's sleep. Most of us forget or get used to bad sleep patterns and never take the steps to correct them" – Arvin Khamseh

In today's episode, we discuss the connection between mindset and health, specifically when it comes to healthy eating and weight loss. My guest is Amy Krasner who supports women who are struggling with low energy, digestive issues and difficulty losing weight. I met Amy at a workshop where the focus was on deep self-reflection on what parts of our own stories can actually be a service to others. She shares what led her to where she is now as well as understanding how to nourish our own bodies and developing a practice of positive self-talk.

As a Holistic Nutritionist and a Natural Chef, Amy has helped hundreds of women to improve their health by understanding how to nourish their bodies. In addition to nutrition consulting, Amy supports women to create a healthier relationship with food through Eating Psychology and Intuitive Eating methodologies. She uses a unique approach of 80% mindset and 20% nutrition to help women overcome physical and emotional blocks that have held them back from success with other diet and exercise approaches.

"I see so many women who feel that they are alone in their struggle to lose or maintain weight. I want to remind them that this is a much bigger collective issue…that working with others can not only give them the support they need, but also gives them the opportunity to provide support to others." –

On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• Tuning into and paying attention to how you as an individual react to food.
• How we can avoid demonizing certain foods.
• What's important about mindset when it comes to eating?
• The connection between behavior and our food choices.
• Tips for those of us who may struggle with mindful eating.
• How to move away from negative self-talk especially when it comes to food.
• How can women develop a better sense of body image in the face of an ever-prevalent cultural messaging that seems to set a standard?
• Listening to our intuition when it comes to overcoming cravings – especially when it comes to food that may not be so good for us…like sugar.
