#202 - Are you missing the forest for the trees when it comes to your health with Dr Alex Orton

A lot of women get caught up in new fads, supplements, and technology - forgetting about the basic fundamentals. So, I wanted to sit down with Alex, who is a Naturopathic doctor and runs an online holistic practice, to talk about what a lot of people miss along their health journey. Are you missing any of these fundamentals? In this episode, Alex and I chat about: ➡️The basic fundamentals and why they matter ➡️The purpose of supplements ➡️How stress presents itself ➡️What happens with chronic emotional stress ➡️How the body deals with trauma ➡️Learning lessons in life ➡️Examples of foods Alex recommends for his clients ➡️How it’s what you do 80% of the time ➡️Drinking to cope with stress ➡️Building internal awareness ➡️Good indicators of health ➡️Moments of pause or “doing nothing” Happy listening I hope you find this podcast helpful and don't forget to take a screenshot of the episode and share it on Instagram stories and tag me at @kittyblomfield.
