As you know, we are all about creating balance and mindfulness around healthy eating and living and our tactics with weight loss are no different. Today we’re digging into some factors that may be affecting your weight and giving super practical tips to create health and balance in these areas because finding your healthy weight and creating joy there is a powerful place to be.

Justine also shares about her brand new Get at the Roots Workshop Series- an online, group program designed to help you correct the root causes of weight gain, firing up your metabolism and getting your body healthy, once and for all!

Did you know that pediatric cancer is the number one leading cause of death in children under the age of 15?

Today we have got a really special guest, a fellow NTP and total #momboss, Season Johnson. Season has an incredible story of making beauty from ashes that will bring you to tears, so get your tissue ready friends.

Season shares her story with us about how her son Kicker was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 2, a diagnosis that would change their lives in ways they could have never imagined, and how nutrition has played a massive role in how well Kicker has done. Nearly 3 years into treatment and this Momcologist has figured out how to bring hope to families struggling with this impossible diagnosis using real food and alternative therapies.

Her non-profit foundation, KICKcancER, was created to educate pediatric cancer families on how to support their child’s body to help them THRIVE throughout treatment, helping families improve their well-being and quality of life. On this week’s episode, Season shares different ways families can get involved and how you and I can support this incredible movement.

We want to ask that you SHARE this podcast episode with a few of your loved ones or anyone you know who is dealing with pediatric cancer. We believe that if all of our listeners share with just a few people, we can spread the word on this incredible movement and bless many with this information.

For more information on the KICKcancER movement, please visit their website, Facebook page and Instagram.

In today’s episode we are continuing to dig into the meaty topic of Adrenal Fatigue and we’ve got some seriously good stuff for you!

In Part 2, we are talking about how to support your adrenal glands naturally, especially if you have signs or symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue. We break down what and how to eat, what nutrients to focus on and natural remedies to support adrenal health. We also dig into recommendations for caffeine and alcohol, our fav non-toxic products, exercise and movement and how to get your mind right to decrease emotional stress.

Even if you aren’t dealing with adrenal fatigue or you’ve already been on a journey to support your adrenals naturally, the info we share is totally usable and things that we live by each and every day. Prevention is the best form of health care, my friend!

For those of you who are looking to dig even deeper into your own health journey and want a personalized plan drawn up for you (no guessing games here!), we are offering 15% off our Wellness Packages and consultations.

Do you need caffeine in the morning just to show up to life? Are you reaching for coffee and a sweet treat around 3pm every afternoon? Are you dealing with allergies or food sensitivities? Sugar cravings got a tight hold on you?

Missing that energetic version of yourself more and more these days?!

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be dealing with adrenal fatigue—chances are if you are a busy person living in this modern world, you might have weakened adrenals.

This week’s podcast episode is all about a super hot topic...adrenal fatigue! We’ve broken this meaty topic up into a two part series so that we could dig a little deeper into this syndrome that so many are dealing with, but not many people are aware of.

In Part 1, we are talking all about the adrenal glands—what they are, why having healthy adrenals is insanely important for a healthy and balanced life and why so many people are dealing with adrenal fatigue today. It’s important to know and understand the signs and symptoms so you can start taking action in your own life so you can thrive (rather than just survive).

Next week, in Part 2, we’ll dive into what to do if you suspect you’re dealing with adrenal fatigue and how to take action in your own life plus lots of simple and natural ways to snuggle on those precious little glands.

Because adrenal fatigue is something that looks so different for everyone and bio-individuality plays a huge role in how you approach supporting your health, we are offering 15% off any of our Wellness Packages or consultations to those listeners who want to dig a little deeper and work with us one-on-one. We would absolutely love to support you on your health journey!

Being healthy is not just about the food we eat, though that is very important. It really is about so much more—it comes down to sleep, relationships, contentment and a big portion especially in today’s world is non-toxic living.

We wanted to specifically talk about safe skincare, products that as women, we use most days of our lives. This topic is gaining so much popularity in the mainstream news or circles today and we truly believe that this is more than just a movement, it’s not a fad that is going to fade in a week or even a year.

On today’s episode, we welcome Kate Criswell, a good friend, a woman passionate about safe skincare and a Managing Director with Beautycounter who shares it all with us!  Join us for this eye opening conversation about how the products you use daily affect your hormones, fertility, children (even future children) and weightloss!
