Connecting with the Thom's

The flu season is here! If you got a shot, you're not alone. In fact, last year more than half of all people ages 6 months and older got a flu shot. But did you know that the most of the studies that show that the flu shot can reduce cold and flu symptoms were funded by vaccine makers? And did you know that there are many different safe, effective and side effect free ways to boost your immune health naturally including boosting detox pathways, eating anti-inflammatory foods, getting enough sleep and exercise, and using essential oils instead of harmful over the counter medicines?

In this podcast, we explore some holistic and natural ways to get through this yucky part of the year without being stuck in bed for days at a time - especially since the stronger methods sometimes take multiple weeks to start kicking in!

There are lots of things you can do to support your immune system and make sure this winter season doesn't hold you back. This podcast will definitely be a game changer for you this season!

You're probably thinking, "I know what fasting is! You stop eating!"

Well, yes and no.

This podcast is about fasting and what you really need to know about it. In this episode we break apart what you think fasting is and explain what you need to consider in order to give your body all the benefits there are to fasting. Fasting is a wonderful modality to help you get into a parasympathetic state and it needs to be understood that fasting is much much more than just not eating or limiting your food for a few days.

Fasting is actually a complex process of resetting the body, mind and soul. Your cells, organs and tissues all need time off from the constant onslaught of nutrients that they get every day when you eat something. If you don't give them some time off then they can become overworked which leads to a breakdown of many systems within your body including your immune system, digestive system, hormonal systems, etc.

Perimenopause is the phase in a woman's life when her hormone levels begin to shift due to the natural decline of ovarian functioning. Even though menopause happens in a woman's late 40s and early 50s, it begins in her mid-thirties. Combine those two facts, and you have a handful of years to experience symptoms of hot flashes, night sweats, low mood, weight gain, headaches, joint pain and/or sleep problems. With no plan for what to expect or how to manage these symptoms.

In this podcast, we discuss what is the best way to support your hormones during this transition? How to help you feel balanced and energetic without HRT even if you're not perimenopausal yet, but things like mood swings and difficulty sleeping are bothering you? And, what can you do about it now?

From our first day of school to our last day of work, from visitors coming to town to a jammed packed weekend series of planned events, life gets busy. In fact, the word "busy" could easily be synonymous with "stressful".

The key to managing stress effectively is to understand what it is and how it affects you.

In this episode, we explore what stress is and how it impacts your life, both positively and negatively.

We share some tips on how to manage stress better and also how to cultivate an attitude that allows you to see the positive aspects of stress which can lead to lifelong happiness.

In this podcast, we're going to talk about how to create and find ways to create relationships - even if you don't have one - to help you heal, live a more fulfilling life, and support your own healing.

We also talk about how strong relationships can actually help you to build yourself up and heal from physical ailments or health issues.
