Dr Talei says everything that happens in the gut is connected to all sorts of different systems. She starts by looking to see if your body can digest food and if your body is able to absorb the nutrients, because these provide the fuel for your brain, for your skin and basically everything in the body. It’s important to know if you are able to excrete toxins from your body.

These toxins and bacteria from the gut create, bloating, gas, frequent headaches, fatigue, and you see it in the skin. Our skin is a mirror for what’s going on inside of the body.

There are certain foods to avoid when it comes to overall health, like don’t eat processed foods, don’t eat foods where you don’t understand the ingredients. 

And then in general there are 3 big food sensitivities.

1.       Dairy – most people can’t digest dairy which can cause inflammation for many people.

2.       Gluten – especially with all the glyphosates that they spray it with.

3.       Eggs – not that eggs are bad, it's that many people have a sensitivity to them.

So food sensitivity test are great for identifying what foods your specific body is reacting to.

What are Attachment styles and how do they impact our relationships?

Attachment styles are a habitual pattern of relating to others. Specifically significant relationships , like a parent, a romantic partner or maybe even a best friend. Mostly we are talking about how one responds relationally in these relationships around points of connection and disconnection. So, basically what we do when we start to feel insecure or dis-connected. Or when that sense of safety, closeness or trust with a partner feels threatened.

There are four different attachment styles

1. Secure Attachment
2. Anxious Attachment
3. Avoidant Attachment
4. Disorganized Attachment

Coming in, having that awareness, helps you sort of know when you're being triggered and you can pause. Then you can make a choice to have a different reaction or to respond in a different way.

Join the conversation with Dr. Jessica Waldron and Cassie Burton host of the Curiosity Junkie Podcast to learn more about attachment styles and how they impact our relationships.

What is self confidence? 

Self-acceptance coach, Annie Gospodin says a better question to ask is, “What does confidence mean to me?” and see what comes up for you. Because ultimately we are the ones who decide.

Annie believes confidence is rooted in self-acceptance. It's not about the way we look or act, and it's not  what the media portrays as confidence. It's also not something we are born with or without. We can always learn our version of self-confidence.

Here are a few to consider as you work to understand and define confidence.

• What does confidence mean to me?
• What have I observed as an example of confidence growing up?
• What have I learned about confidence?
• Do I perceive myself as confident? If not, why?
• In what way do I see my friends as being confident?
• How does their confidence align with my confidence?

Have you ever wondered what it's like to drive a race car? I had the opportunity to do a ride-along with Lance Hamiltion at the GoodGuys Car Show and Spring Nationals here in Arizona.
It was a blast and I believe you can here me laughing and whooping it up throughout my ride-along.

Lance worked with some pretty cool companies to help him take his Monte Carlo SS from a street car to a race car.

Have you ever wondered what happens to your mind and body during and after sex?

Therapist Janice Leonard is here to help us understand what’s happening during sex and how we can show care for our partner(s) as we come down from the hormonal high.

There are two things we need to consider before having sex. 

1. We need to know why we are having sex
2. We need to know what kind of sex we are having

Have you ever been curious about the world of Kink and Fetish?

Relationship and sex therapist, Paula Leech is here to enlighten and educate us about all things Kink and Fetish.

I have to say, for me, this conversation was an educational and eye-opening dive into understanding the dynamics, boundaries and communication that takes place within the kink community.  An understanding we can apply within the “Vanilla” sexual experience.

Paula says Fetish is desire or arousal that’s linked to objects, material, body parts, types of people or types of bodies. It can be that the individual needs this thing to become aroused or it may be that this thing enhances the overall desire and arousal.

Kink encompasses any behaviors, lifestyles and relationship arrangements. For example it includes, non-monogamy, BDSM and basically anything that is not mainstream, “Vanilla” sex.

If we find ourselves curious and wanting to explore the world of kink, Therapist Paula Leech recommends we seek out resources. She says there are many resources that talk about how to incorporate elements of kink and fetish into our relationships. Several discuss how to navigate it with our partners and how to explore the kink world and the kink community safely.

Here are a few resources Paula shared:
Fetlife.com is a social network for the BDSM, Fetish and Kink Community. (like facebook, but for kinky people.)
A book that can help us understand and navigate the world of kink.
