Believe Big Podcast

Stress affects us all, especially this time of year!  Stress affects our immune system and is linked to so many negative responses within our bodies.  Even if you are not sick and already fighting an illness or disease, cortisol (the stress hormone) needs to be reduced in all of us. 

What can we do for our bodies to help reduce our stress load?

Have you ever heard of Tapping?  It's an emotional freedom technique that combines the fundamentals of ancient Chinese acupressure and psychology.  It is a practice you can learn to do on your own to help you sleep, to help you relax and to help you reduce your cortisol levels and get your immune system back on track doing it's job.

Join me today as I speak with Stacy Fritz, President and CEO of Fit 2order and one of Believe Big's amazing patient advocates, as she shares her expertise on Tapping and the benefits of its practice.

POOP 

We all do it, but how much attention do we pay to our poops?  It's not a dinner table topic and you certainly won't want to discuss it around the water cooler at work.  But, our poop can tell us a lot about what is going on in our gut.  And we all know how important gut health is to our overall well-being.

Join me today as I chat with Dr. Lori Bouchard and get the scoop on poop!  You will be enlightened (and relieved, pun intended) as we discuss the color, the consistency, the frequency and more!  We even get a few giggles in as we dive into this uncomfortable topic of POOP!

• Sometimes the bold prayer is praying something you prayed a hundred times.

Once upon a time, you had a cancer diagnosis.  Your life was thrown into a whirlwind of doctor's visits, new medications, new medical terms and advice from all sides.  You fought the battle and it was long and challenging, but you beat it!  You were declared N E D (no evidence of disease). 

It's a happy ending, right?  Or, is it just the beginning?

Can you go back to the life you knew before cancer?  Do you need to stay vigilant in your new life post-cancer? 

Join me today as I speak with Dr. Wafaa Abdel-Hadi, a functional medicine and integrative clinical oncologist.  We will answer those questions and talk about many practical ways you can help your body stay in a state of N E D.
