EMBRACE YOU FIRST

“Everyday Hero Pt 2”

If you want to be inspired in how to reinvent your life, meet Len Stanmore. He is the only person on the planet who has climbed the death zones of 7 highest summits in 7 continents, skied the North and South Pole, crossed four deserts, and ran ultramarathons (100 - 250 km) in crazy treacherous conditions. As you will soon find out, he was not a natural born athlete. In fact, Len considers himself an everyday human who partied hard, ate takeout, drank  beer and smoked cigars for decades.  At the age of 48, he woke up and decided to try something new, something that would scare him.

No matter what your fitness level (whether you are a beginner or an extreme athlete) or where you are at in life, Len will move you as he shares many life lessons through his stories through his successes, failures and near death experiences.

Deepak Chopra says, “It’s never too late to begin creating the bodies we want instead of the ones we mistakenly assume we are stuck with.”

In this episode, we are going to take 2021 by the ovaries or balls if you’ve got ‘em and run hard to make 2021 a much more productive and powerful year. We help you banish fear, connect to the moment, accept what you can’t change, feel gratitude, reframe trauma to see it in a new light & reduce physical manifestations of it, and change our genes through changing our thought!

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

Do you feel you’re living in groundhog day? The same days keep repeating, the same patterns keep repeating? It’s time to break the cycle and change your story, for GOOD! Tanya and Mary share real world examples of people who thought they reached the end of their stories and suicide was the only way out, only to get help and realize that they still had many chapters in their story still to write.

Have you ever wondered why some people can keep a healthy work/life balance and positive outlook during challenging times? Why does it seem like some people are just equipped to have hard times bounce off them? Through divorce, job changes, covid times, it’s not always easy, but where there is a will there is a way. On this episode of Embrace YOU First, Dr. Tanya Wylde and Mary Wong chat with Evan DeMarco about finding balance through challenging times, and provide YOU with incredible coping strategies to navigate your way through any challenging time.   

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:  

They also chat about both the short term and long term effects this pandemic may have on our mental health, so it’s vital that we focus on positive mental health now and in the future, and the 5 pillars of health that will have a positive impact on our lives.   There is NEVER a better time than now, but how exactly do we take care of ourselves though chaos? How do we support others in our lives that we care for? What is mental fortitude, and how do we work towards it?   They also discuss how as parents we can help our children navigate the strangest time in their lives they’ll likely ever face, this pandemic! Sometimes we are not able to replace these experiences as parents, but we can equip them with coping strategies so that they can thrive, and help them deal with fear and the unknown.

We are talking about Connection and specifically looking at our ability to relate to one another which may be challenging at the best of times, but now living in a global pandemic it's a whole other level of impact that we need to pay attention to and decide how to thrive. If you are living on your own, or you’re living with other people but feel disconnected, Tanya and Mary offer suggestions on how to reconnect to improve YOUR immune system, when our immune systems are being compromised by stress and anxiety.

Embrace YOU First Episode 17 

“FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR HORMONES” – In this episode, Tayna Wylde, ND and Mary Wong speak with Dr. Fiona McCulloch, a Naturopathic doctor, best selling author and hormonal expert who has worked with thousands of people seeking better health over the past 16 years of her practice. This podcast is for both men and women, to learn more about the impact these vital hormones have on your health, for better or worse! Did you know women have testosterone, which is typically thought of as a male hormone, and that men have estrogen, which is typically thought of as a female hormone? Hormonal changes or imbalances can lead to moodiness, weight gain, changes in the menstrual cycle, libido fluctuations, and more.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

• What the main types of hormones are, and how they affect you

• Why insulin is one of the most misunderstood and forgotten hormones and why it gets confused with blood sugar

• For women, how hormones change based on our menstrual cycle

• The various phases of menstrual cycles

• The positive and negative impacts of exercise on the menstrual cycle

• Types of exercise that benefit your menstrual cycle

• Ovulation and mood boost, then the resulting mood crash

• Do these hormones give us different strengths based on the time of the cycle?

• What happens to our hormones at menopause

• Tips & ideas to embrace & survive the perimenopausal stage, as everyone’s phase is different

• The effect of a healthy diet and whole foods on menopause

• The differences between how hormones change between men and women

• Tips and ideas for MEN on how to navigate hormonal changes

• Birth control i.e the ‘pill’ is often the only option offered to manage hormones.  What other options exist if a woman has problems with her cycles (heavy periods, pms, pcos)

Bio : Dr. Fiona McCulloch is a Naturopathic Doctor and founder of White Lotus Integrative Medicine in Toronto Canada, an urban wellness clinic serving thousands of women with hormonal conditions since 2001.
