"I just started doing, you know, because I'm Psych-K trained, and there's a really good book you can do for yourself called the Emotion Code in the Body Code."
Show Notes:
Hello, Beautiful Souls, the voice of Monica is here to dive deep into the wild world of food intolerances—because who knew that your aversion to tomatoes might actually be your dad's emotional baggage? In this episode, we’re not just peeling back the layers of an onion, we’re digging into the very core of why that onion might be giving you trouble in the first place. No, it's not just about cutting out foods like nightshades because some diet said so; it's about the emotional and energetic blocks that are making your body rebel against what should be perfectly healthy foods. And let's not forget the part where we explore how your intuition plays into all this—yes, you might just be the next food whisperer. We'll chat about the power of Psych-K, Emotion Code, and even the art of muscle testing to unlock those hidden emotional ties that could be the key to unlocking better health. By the end of this episode, you’ll be ready to take charge of your health, ditch those food fears, and maybe even become that conscious mama the world desperately needs. So, grab your notepad (or don't, we’re all about intuitive listening here), and let's get into it!
"I do believe there's... we can switch on and off intolerances that are created from an emotional state."
