2. Gut health is the root of all health

3. Health does not need to be complicated

Guest Bio

Our guest for today is Laura Martin. She is a Certified IBS Nutrition Consultant and founder of Healing to Happy – an online holistic, gut-brain-focused company that helps women suffering from IBS and Anxiety to get back to eating normally without fear of FODMAP's (fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols).

After battling her way through IBS, hypothyroidism, anxiety, hormonal imbalances, and skin issues, she found herself with an unhealthy relationship with food. She knew that there must be something she could do. So, after many failed attempts and lessons learned, she came up with the F.R.E.E. method that put her symptoms into remission without following restrictive diets or fancy supplement regimes. 

By applying this method using food, lifestyle, radical shifts in consciousness, and mindfulness practices, and tools she's gone on to help hundreds of women around the globe do the same through her online courses: Signature Gut Recharge Program and 1:1 Gut Accelerator Program.
Laura has been featured in different international magazines, been interviewed on different stages around the globe, and is now a thought-leader in the industry.

Guest: Frida Soerensen

Topic: Intentional Meditation and how it can Help with Stress Management

Takeaways: Your health is your number one asset whatever work you do. It's up to make it a priority. You can't sacrifice your health for extra productivity in the long term. It's possible to bring radical self-care and holistic practices such as mindfulness into your life without it taking up hours and hours of your time. By taking care of yourself and having a healthy mind you're able to serve your cause, your people, your community more effectively, compassionately, and authentically.


Bio: Frida Soerensen has a Graduate Diploma in Counseling and Human Services through La Trobe University in Melbourne Australia. She was trained as a meditation teacher at the Australian Centre for Meditation & Mindfulness and has over 10 years of personal yoga and meditation practice. 

After struggling with chronic anxiety and near-burnout during her 10 years of social work in, she realized that she couldn’t continue to offer support to her colleagues and clients if she didn’t make her own health a priority.  So she went on a quest to get help and in the process formed powerful and transformational allies in yoga, meditation & mindfulness. 

She took a bold step by changing careers and moving back to her childhood home in the Philippines. From there, she shares the tools and practices that have allowed her to live with more calm, purpose, and resilience. Although she encourages others to take a step back from their hectic, stress-filled lives to embrace a calmer, more balanced existence, she encourages them to still chase their career dreams, but to not lose sight of the other important aspects of their lives such as their relationships, health, and the things that make them happy. She is here to help us explore the topic of meditation and how it can help us live a calmer life.


In this episode, we talked about:

• What is Mindfulness & Meditation (6:40)
• Spot Meditation Technique (7:45)
• The Body Under Stress (10:30)
• Managing Stress (17:40)
• Importance of Intention in Meditation (21:19)

"Ecotherapy/Nature Therapy for Wellness l Filmmaker Tanya Regan"

Topic: How Nature can Help your Mental Health

Takeaways: 

• the value of filling your own cup before caring for others 
• that connecting to nature leads to connecting to oneself
• that connecting with nature is a way to recharge

For many people, nature fulfills a fundamental need and is essential to our emotional, spiritual, psychological, and physical well-being. Nature can heal. 

Our relationship with nature and how much we observe and appreciate our surroundings are essential in maintaining our mental health and avoiding discomfort. Believe it or not, a walk in the woods, strolling along the beach, or a swim in a river can awaken inner sentiments of happiness and calm. We all have various perspectives on nature. In this episode, we talk all about ecotherapy and its effects on mental health with Tanya Regan.

Tanya Regan is a mother of 3, a documentary filmmaker, producer, and writer living in Mandurah, Western Australia. She is a true believer in telling true human stories that teach, heal, and connect people throughout history. According to Tanya, "I feel that society has devalued creativity, connection, and nature and that our collective mental health is suffering as a result."

Tanya's storytelling has great lessons and is very impactful when it comes to raising mental health awareness. She reinvents herself through the art of cinema and the beauty of nature. This episode is all about reconnecting and finding a new source of energy. Discover the possibilities of obtaining something radically different with a touch of nature.

In this episode, we talked about:

·         Reigning over life & recreating your identity (2:30-8:12)

·         Connecting oneself with silence and nature (9:41-21:45)

·         The challenges of mental illness (22:32-26:14)

·         The common myths when incorporating something new into the routine (26:33-28:13)

Resources Mentioned:

·         "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay

·         "The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity" by Julia Cameron
