In this thought-provoking podcast, we delve into how a fear of dying can get in the way of moving through pain and emotions. Our exploration centers on the profound connection between personal evolution, long-term health, and the transformative journey of the body and mind. By understanding how our brains strive to keep us safe, how our hearts drive growth and expansion, and how our gut guides us through emotions, we can unlock a path to liberation. We discuss the significance of making peace with death as a gateway to processing pain and fear, enabling us to move forward and experience the freedom that comes with self-discovery. Drawing on spirituality, near-death experiences, and the power of nutrition, we unravel the barriers that hinder personal growth and offer insights on embracing life's challenges with resilience, nourishment, and emotional well-being.

In this episode of the "Are You Awake Yet?" podcast, host MaryKate discusses the do's and don'ts of a health journey. She advises against comparing oneself to others and instead suggests finding a practitioner who understands individual needs. Consistency and balance are emphasized over extremes, and rather than arbitrarily eliminating foods, it's recommended to undergo tests to identify specific triggers. Immediate results shouldn't be expected, as multifactorial issues require time and dedication.

MaryKate also encourages listeners to consider alternatives to the insurance model if they're not receiving the help they need. Living with certain conditions should not be accepted without seeking assistance to address the underlying causes. Taking time for recovery, rest, and play is crucial, and hope should be maintained as answers are always available when one remains open to them.

On the positive side, investing in one's health is highlighted as a priority, emphasizing the long-term benefits. Quality food and supplements are recommended, along with tracking progress to reflect on personal growth. Seeking support from others, such as functional medicine practitioners, is encouraged, and connecting with nature is suggested for its healing and meditative qualities.

Overall, the episode provides a comprehensive overview of the do's and don'ts to consider on a health journey, offering practical advice and guidance for listeners.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with a dear friend of mine, Bryanna MacLaury, who has successfully managed her rheumatoid arthritis and achieved a much healthier state using a functional medicine approach.

Bryanna shares her personal journey with rheumatoid arthritis, including when she was diagnosed and how it impacted her life. She explains her desire to explore alternative approaches that led her to functional medicine as a potential solution.

We delved into what functional medicine entails and how it differs from conventional medicine when it comes to treating rheumatoid arthritis. Bryanna outlines the specific changes she made to her lifestyle, diet, and other areas as part of her functional medicine approach. These changes played a crucial role in her ability to heal.

We also discussed the challenges she encountered while implementing the functional medicine approach and how they overcame them. Stress management and emotional well-being were emphasized as important aspects within the functional medicine framework.

Throughout the conversation, we explored the role of healthcare professionals and experts in supporting our Bryanna's journey. She shared valuable advice for anyone considering a functional medicine approach for rheumatoid arthritis, along with recommended resources and tools.

Bryanna highlights the significant improvements she experienced in her overall health and well-being since adopting the functional medicine approach. We also explored the impact of these improvements on other areas of her life, such as relationships, work, and personal goals.

We addressed common misconceptions and myths about functional medicine and its application to rheumatoid arthritis, shedding light on the potential benefits and possibilities it offers. Bryanna emphasizs the need for better understanding of functional medicine within the medical community and society as a whole.

Join us for this enlightening episode as we explore the transformative potential of functional medicine in treating rheumatoid arthritis and empowering individuals to regain control over their health.

Are you experiencing episodes of anxiety? Do you get frustrated because you don't know why? Have you had to take medication in the past and it didn't really help or it helped but it created new symptoms? Today I wanted to discuss some physiological reasons a person may deal with anxiety such as blood sugar mismanagement, neurotransmitter imbalance, histamine intolerance, vitamin deficiencies, poor gut bacteria, stress, substance abuse, poor ability to process emotions/stress, being a highly sensitive individual, trauma, lack of movement or excessive movement, and chronic stress patterns. Not only do we dive into these imbalances but I give advice as to ways to help rebalance your system.

In todays podcast, I wanted to discuss how multifactorial mental health issues can be. This podcast dives deep in some of my key understandings of the body and how it works from a nutrition stand point. We dive into our food industry such as gluten, seed oils, chemicals in our food/water, vitamin deficienes, concusssions, viruses, leaky gut, internal family systems model, and trauma. There are other reasons for poor mental health, but I wanted to explain these handful of topics and also give resources of how to help yourself if you are dealing with depression, anxiety, brain fog, and overall brain inflammation.

In modern society, we have to TRY to be healthy, its not something we are inheritly born into. The more you know your body and the more you learn what your body needs to feel grounded, you can vastly improve your mental health.

In todays episode I wanted to focus on drinking and bathing water. I teach you how to check your city's water for harmful chemicals and give you resources in order to filter your drinking water and bathing water. I also explain a little about what chemicals may be found in your water and how they may be affecting your health long term.
