A Healthy Curiosity

For those who regularly listen to this podcast, you'll know that I have a genuine interest in how shaping and evolving the culture around us is key in becoming healthy individually. In today's episode, we have a chance to hear from Millennia Ruth Lytle who is a licensed naturopathic doctor and certified nutrition specialist. Affectionately known as Dr. Millie, she has a special interest in solving health puzzles naturally and is involved in focusing these efforts in the corporate world.

Dr. Millie provides corporate stress-relief wellness programs and consults on dietary supplements with R&D divisions of companies. Today we talk about the impact a working environment can have on individual employees – their stress levels and productivity - and how that can ultimately affect a company's bottom line. We also discuss a few other significant topics in relationship to stress relief and management including heart math and hypnosis.

"Job stress is more strongly associated with health complaints than financial problems or family problems. Statistics show that when there is less stress on the job, there is more productivity." – Dr. Millie

On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• The coherence between mind and heart
• How is your heart hormonal?
• Can we change the way we perceive stress?
• How you can apply the principles of heart math at home.
• Recognizing what thoughts bring good feelings and true peace.
• Understanding what is nurturing us the most.
• Dispelling common myths and misconceptions about hypnosis.
• What systemic changes are being made in the corporate world to relieve stress.

Key Takeaway:

• There is a connection and coherence between the mind and emotions.
• We can change our thinking patterns to align with our feelings.
• Stress is all about perception – we can change the way we perceive stress, which can change our feelings about stress at any given moment.

Today's podcast features a conversation with Maggie Berghoff who is a nurse practitioner trained in Functional Medicine. Maggie uses a renowned step-by-step framework known as Balance Protocol to transform the lives of men and women using cutting-edge and natural medicine. Today, Maggie talks about 6 important environmental inputs - air, water, light, sound, food and EMF. She shares her insight on exactly how these inputs can affect us and offers simple tips and ideas for optimizing inputs in our daily lives.

In this episode, we talk about the many different ways our bodies are constantly exchanging energy with the environment around us. Whether it is through the food we digest, the air we breathe or even our exposure to EMF, the small and simple things we do each day impact our general health and well-being.

On Today's Episode of A Healthy Curiosity:

• How often should we exchange the air in our home?
• The importance of filtering bathing water.
• How exposure to light affects our circadian rhythm.
• What effect does sound have on our vagus nerve?
• Should we avoid foods imported from other countries?
• How can you mitigate unavoidable contact with EMF?

Key Takeaways:

• Whether we realize it or not, our bodies are constantly interpreting sounds, processing light, exchanging air and absorbing water.
• You don't have to be purist to implement simple steps to optimize environmental inputs.
• See yourself as unique - get to know what your body specifically needs.

In today's episode, Sarica and I get a chance to swap ideas based on our mutual love for Chinese Medicine, including how the foods we eat impact our life experience. Sarica shares her thoughts on the lost art of traditional food preparation and why it's so important. We discuss different types of foods as well as preparation methods such as soaking and fermentation.
