Energized with Dr. Mariza

Happiness is something that alludes many of us. Only 1/3 of the population rate themselves as happy, meaning almost 70% of us are unhappy. We are struggling with a happiness epidemic in our country, and it is time for you to revamp your own overall life satisfaction.

Happy people are more resilient, have lower chances of getting disease, and have a longer life expectancy. But happiness is not a consequence or a reward, it is a state of mind that must be consciously thought about every day. By starting every day with intention, and treating happiness like a muscle that we need to exercise regularly, we can start to work on our happiness from the inside out.

One great way to increase your happiness is to practice self-care daily rituals. In this episode, I will share my two favorite daily rituals, plus some bonus essential oil blends and weekly rituals, to help you get your happiness back on track.

There is so much to be grateful for, but we must take the time to remind ourselves of that and let positive thoughts wash over us. Join me as we think about our blessings and learn how to prioritize your own happiness again.

Unless you have been living under a rock, you probably know about the many benefits of meditation. However, many of us don’t meditate because we don’t understand it, are frustrated or confused by it, or believe that we don’t have the time. Today, Emily Fletcher is going to show us how to easily integrate a meditation practice into our lives!

Emily is the founder of Ziva Meditation. Emily decided to take her meditation training virtual to be able to reach people all around the world and help them realize the life-changing benefits of meditation. Ziva meditation has been featured by amazing companies such as the New York Times, Vogue and Harvard Business School.

We all know that stress wreaks havoc on both our minds and bodies, throwing your body into fight or flight mode which keeps your body agitated and retaining toxic stress levels. Stress wastes your energy, causes fatigue and greatly limits your productivity. By using meditation to get back to your center, you can tap into the very source of creativity and energy within you so that you have more energy to give to your work and your family.

Meditation can help reverse your body age, cure insomnia, eradicate anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, IBS, and more. The list is virtually limitless because the list of ailments that come from stress are also limitless. It time for us to take back control of our bodies from stress, and meditation is the key to having fewer distractions, less stress, and more of getting stuff done. 

If you have never considered meditation before, or are struggling with insomnia or anxiety, let Emily show you why it may be the path to your most productive, happiest and healthiest life yet.

Today we are going to discover an issue that affects every man, woman and child every single day. I’m talking about toxic cleaning chemicals and household products. When I discovered the negative effects that these products were having on my hormones and overall health, my entire life changed.

Did you know that the air inside our homes is 200% - 500% more toxic than the air we breathe outside? This is because the harmful toxins found in cleaning and personal care products can lead to chronic diseases like autoimmunity, obesity, allergies and even cancer. By making over your cleaning cabinet to reduce your overall toxin load and help balance your hormones you will see amazing results in you and your family’s health.

If you have estrogen dominance, are chronically exhausted, have frequent migraines or are depressed, your body might be experiencing what I like to call pure hormone chaos. This is only magnified when we surround ourselves with toxic chemicals on a daily basis. By decreasing your and your family's exposure to these chemicals and silent toxins, you can improve your reproductive system, metabolism, brain function and so much more. 

In this episode, I will give you all the tools you need to give your cleaning cabinet a full out makeover, including common household items that will not only help you clean healthier, but also save you money! Something needs to change in your lifestyle to protect your family and make you feel like you again, why not start with the cleaning cabinet?

After being diagnosed with PCOS, Amy felt that she was not given proper information or access to decisions about how to pilot her own health.

Amy helps thousands of women take control of their lives and learn how to thrive again with her PCOS Diva Protocol website and Healing PCOS book.

On this episode of Essentially You, we're diving into one of my all-time favorite topics, self-care. This is one of my favourite topics because I continue to learn more about it every day, and it really has had a huge impact on my life, along with thousands of other women.

As women, we are raised to believe that our measure of success is how much we do for other people. However, in doing this we forget about the most important person of all – ourselves! Taking care of yourself is the key to your success, and can impact your health, energy, relationships, and so much more. 

We need to stop believing that self-care is selfish because it is not. By taking 30 minutes a day to recharge our batteries and get our mind and body in the right place, we will be able to be more productive, more successful, and all around happier people. 

Energy is everything, and we need to be fueled by our own happiness and fill our own cups first so that we can provide those we love with the same great energy. Taking care of ourselves means we are at our best when we need to take care of others, which is really our goal and nurturers. 

Let me help you get started by sharing some of my favorite morning rituals as well as daily habits to help you create the day that you want based on your needs and priorities. Find out how giving compliments and expressing gratitude can not only affect your mood but also those around you. Dive into what makes a productive morning routine, and how to continue to use self-care practices throughout the day so you are putting your best energy forward.

Do you have a feeling that a hormone imbalance may be keeping you from a healthier and happier life? If you are struggling with some form of hormonal imbalance, there’s a good chance that what you are eating may be the culprit. Food, our hormones, and our health are all interconnected and as Magdalena Wszelaki shares with us, finding a cure through natural and effective solutions is easier than ever.

Magdalena is a holistic nutrition coach, and the founder of the Hormones & Balance community, and she joins us today to break down how to use food to stabilize your hormones. She knows first-hand how food can cure hormonal issues and has dedicated her life to sharing this knowledge and research with as many women as possible.

If you have food sensitivities, depression, are constantly getting sick or fluctuating with your weight, hormone imbalance is probably at play. Many women deal with estrogen dominance and other hormone imbalances, and don’t even know it. By viewing food as both medicine and information, it is possible to get your body back on track. Food is the one thing we do every day that we have control over, and it can have a major impact on our health and wellbeing.

By focusing on whole foods, and creating a new way of eating for yourself, you can repair your hormone imbalance and keep your body working smoothly. Magdalena gives us a lesson in hormone knowledge and I guarantee it will help women of any age. If you are looking for a cure for autoimmunity, thyroid issues, estrogen dominance, adrenal exhaustion, PCOS, menopause, or just not feeling right, this episode is for you.

Are you ready for a ground-breaking approach to the way you eat? Today the magnificent Teri Cochrane is here to share how she has cracked the code on how to eat for your individual body. Teri creates bio-individualized nutrition plans based off of her client's genetic profiles by combining the latest research in biomechanics, epigenetics, and nutrition.

Through her practice, combining her countless years of research and working with patients, she has created the Wildatarian lifestyle and nutrition plan. Instead of viewing a diet as a restrictive measure, Teri redefines diets as how you interact with everything you consume in life. This includes food chemicals such as proteins and sulfur, hormones, and most importantly stress. 

Today Teri shares the impact of herbicide roundups, pharmaceutical antibiotics and toxicity levels in what we eat, like red meat and chicken, and how they can have serious impacts on our hormone levels. It is necessary to understand not only how your body is reacting to the food you eat, but also how a large part of how we feel throughout the day is affected by stress. Stress can be a bigger issue than most women realize. Through Teri’s Wildatarian lifestyle you can open yourself up to a diet of abundance and joy. I promise you will see a huge result in not only your mental state but also your weight, energy and overall general health.

Have you ever experimented with individualized diet plans? How did they work compared to less specific plans? Leave us a comment on the show notes page!

Today we are talking about two of my favorite subjects, hormone balance and daily rituals. Our hormones play a huge factor in our health, and they affect everything from our mood to our weight. However, because our hormones can be thrown off so easily, it is incredibly common for women of any age to experience hormone imbalance. So today, we’re focusing on daily habits that can have a positive impact on your hormones, and therefore your life! 

Although we might not even realize it, over 80% of us are affected by hormone imbalance. I want to share ten of my favorite daily habits including essential oils and morning routines, plus many others. We will be focusing on powerful non-toxic solutions that help us be proactive in learning how our bodies function.

I run through my favorite breathing technique ‘The Power of the Pause’, which is an incredibly powerful tool to help you de-stress and get you back to focus. Plus, I also share the one thing you can be drinking to improve cognitive function and minimize your risk of premature aging!

An individualized and natural approach to your own health will help enable you to rebalance your body and find a happy medium with self-care rituals. Because only you can put your health first, and once you do that’s when the magic really starts. Whether you are 15 or 50, this episode is for you!

I’d love to hear some of your daily rituals that help you lead a more focused, balanced and healthy life. Let me know in the comments on the episode page please!
