                    • 71 | How to Rock Perimenopause and Prepare for Menopause with Julie Daniluk

                      This episode helps women in perimenopause think forward and prepare the best they can for menopause.  The more we prepare our bodies with these healthy living tips, the easier that transition will be. Julie Daniluk helps us have an empowered, positive mindset about going through these female changes and gives us lots of hope about what that season of life can look like. It’s also a great episode for women already in menopause, as we cover lots of things that can help with challenging menopausal symptoms. 

                      • Julie Daniluk is a nutritionist who specializes in helping women navigate menopause and improve their overall health.
                      • Menopause is directly tied to blood sugar levels, and controlling blood sugar is crucial for managing symptoms like hot flashes.
                      • Eating foods in the right order can make a significant difference in blood sugar levels and reduce hot flashes.
                      • Mindset is important during menopause, and embracing the transition as a time of empowerment and wisdom can lead to a more positive experience.
                      • Addressing past traumas through therapy, such as EMDR, can help improve mindset and overall well-being during menopause.
                      • Anti-inflammatory nutrition is key for managing menopause symptoms, including avoiding foods that cause inflammation and focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods.
                      • Women in menopause may need to adjust their diet and lifestyle to support hormonal balance and weight management.
                      • Getting professional help, such as testing for thyroid function and working with a nutritionist, can be beneficial for women struggling with menopause symptoms and weight gain.
                      • Building a supportive community and seeking accountability can also be helpful in navigating menopause and making positive changes to health and lifestyle.
                      • Women should consider reaching out for professional help if they experience symptoms of inflammation, such as joint pain, fatigue, or mood swings, or if they are struggling with weight management during menopause.

                          • 70 | Tips on Being Present With Your Family with Erica Garcia

                            A big part of our lives are about relationships.  As moms, having healthy relationships with our kids plays a big part in our overall health.  I have found, in my 17 years as a mom so far, that being present with my kids really helps foster a healthy dynamic in our relationship. When you are present with someone, it speaks to how much you value them.

                            When your relationships are healthy and positive, especially inside the home - it reduces your stress and increases your joy.  Both of which are great for your wellbeing.

                            Erica, creative genius on family systems and creating moments of presence, joins me on this episode to share about:

                            • Planning: Intentionally schedule time to be present with your family
                            • Solid routines: Automate parts of your day to free up mental energy for being present
                            • No-tech time: Set aside dedicated periods without technology to focus on your family
                            • Clearing out clutter and distractions: Create a calm and clutter-free environment to enhance presence.
                            • Letting go of perfection: Release the pressure to be perfect and focus on what truly matters

                                  Organically Becca shares her journey of healing her acne naturally and how that led her on a journey to learn about the ingredients in the products she is using. She is now an expert at helping others find non toxic swaps for their home, just as she did for hers!

                                    - Becca’s transition from conventional living to clean and sustainable living.

                                    - Her personal struggles with acne and health issues leading to a holistic approach to healing.

                                    - Discovery of post-birth control syndrome and its impact on her health.

                                  - Health and diet changes she made to help her acne: avoiding inflammatory foods like gluten, conventional dairy, and processed oils; use of organic, well-sourced foods and probiotic-rich foods for gut health.

                                    - Connection between gut health and overall well-being.

                                                  Campbell Will, a breathwork educator, encourages individuals to prioritize breathwork as a fundamental aspect of health and well-being, as it is a free and accessible tool with immediate effects.  He also offers you a gift at the end! 

                                                  • Campbell emphasizes the importance of focusing on breathing itself, rather than just breathwork, as breathing plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being.
                                                  • He shares a powerful moment with a client in ICU who expressed the significance of breathing, which ignited his passion to educate others about the importance of breath.
                                                  • Campbell discusses how breathwork can impact digestion by influencing the autonomic nervous system and shifting the body into a rest and digest state.
                                                  • He highlights the need for both up-regulating and down-regulating breathwork techniques, depending on the individual's needs and desired outcomes.
                                                  • Campbell explains how breathwork can help with anxiety and panic attacks by changing physiology and providing a tool to regulate the nervous system.
                                                  • He emphasizes the importance of breath awareness and offers practical tips, such as associating breath checks with phone usage, to cultivate mindfulness throughout the day.
                                                  • Campbell discusses the benefits of breathwork for improving sleep, including reducing sleep latency and minimizing nighttime awakenings.

                                                      • 65 | What are Healthy Fats and Why Do We Need Them? - with Udo Erasmus

                                                        There is a lot of confusion in the world about healthy fats. What are the healthy fats? Why do we need them? Why are so many people getting essential fatty acids wrong? 

                                                        We answer all that and more in this engaging episode with Udo Erasmus.

                                                        • Udo got interested in healthy oils and fats after being poisoned by pesticides and realizing the importance of nutrition for healing and health.
                                                        • The body is constantly rebuilding itself, and the quality of the food, water, and air we consume plays a crucial role in this process.
                                                        • Essential fatty acids, including Omega-3 and Omega-6, are vital for health and cannot be produced by the body. They must be obtained from outside sources.
                                                        • The processing of oils by the industry, including the use of corrosive chemicals and high heat, damages the oils and creates toxic molecules that the body cannot break down.
                                                        • Using damaged oils, especially for frying, can lead to health problems and interfere with normal bodily functions.
                                                        • The balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 is important, and both types of fatty acids should be obtained from sources made with health in mind.
                                                        • Oils made with health in mind should be used in food after cooking, not for frying, and should be protected from light, oxygen, and heat to retain their health benefits.
                                                        • The fear of fats in the past was misguided, and fats are essential for various bodily functions, including brain health and energy production.
                                                        • Udo has online resources and courses available on his website, including information on fats and digestive health. Udo's products, including oils, digestive enzymes, probiotics, and greens, can be found on his website.
