Go Hard Chick

In honor of women’s history month, I had the pleasure of chatting with the woman who inspired my health and wellness journey the incredible Shawn Brokemond.  Shawn is a former teacher turned personal trainer and adventure enthusiast. Shawn's journey from the classroom to the gym is not just inspiring but also a testament to the power of following one's passion, no matter the age.

In this episode, Shawn shared her experiences of planning and participating in various adventures with her clients, emphasizing the transformative impact it had on them.  Shawn's approach to motivating her clients through adventure is a powerful example of how stepping out of one's comfort zone can lead to personal growth and transformation. By surprising her clients with unexpected adventures, Shawn not only helps them discover new interests and experiences but also instills a sense of excitement and motivation to continue pushing themselves beyond their limits.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reignite their fitness journey or add a little adventure to their life, no matter their age. Shawn Brokemond is living proof that with the right mindset and a bit of courage, the possibilities are endless.

March is Autoimmune Awareness month. In this episode, we're we are joined by Dr. David Bilstrom, MD, a leading figure in Functional and Regenerative Medicine with a focus on autoimmune diseases.

Dr. Bilstrom, Director of the International Autoimmune Institute & Bingham Memorial Center for Functional Medicine, pioneers innovative approaches to treating autoimmune conditions. He stresses the importance of combining natural healing methods with medical intervention.

In this episode, Dr. Bilstrom explains the complexities of autoimmune diseases, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. He emphasizes the need to understand the underlying mechanisms driving this self-destructive behavior.

Our discussion explores how autoimmune diseases are not isolated conditions but part of a larger disease process affecting multiple body parts. Dr. Bilstrom highlights the significance of addressing root causes to prevent further damage and the development of additional autoimmune conditions and even cancer.

We learn about estrogen dominance as a significant contributor to autoimmune diseases and other health issues. Dr. Bilstrom discusses its reversibility through proper treatment and addressing underlying factors such as gut health, cortisol levels, infections, food sensitivities, vitamin deficiencies, hormone imbalances, and environmental toxins.

Join us as we dive into Dr. Bilstrom's expertise, empowering listeners to take control of their health through education, proper treatment, and lifestyle changes.

Topics:

Understanding autoimmune diseases.

Set point and chronic disease.

Women's X chromosome health.

The impact of the immune system.

Estrogen dominance and detox pathways.

In Episode 129 of the Go Hard Chick Podcast, we're tackling a topic that impacts millions of homes across the United States—mold. Joining us is Brandon Faust, a mold detection and remediation expert, who sheds light on the significance of addressing mold issues.

Did you know that according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), mold is present in about 50% of homes in the United States? That's a staggering number, highlighting the widespread nature of this problem. Mold isn't just an aesthetic issue; it can pose serious health risks, from allergies and respiratory issues to more severe conditions like asthma and neurological symptoms.

In this episode, Brandon takes us through the holistic approach required for proper mold detection and remediation. He emphasizes the importance of engaging certified professionals who prioritize safety, quality, and eco-conscious practices. Mold removal isn't just about aesthetics—it's about safeguarding the health and well-being of our families.

We delve into the various types of mold, their effects on our bodies and minds, and the costs associated with remediation. Brandon underscores the paramount importance of addressing mold issues promptly and effectively.

Brandon sheds light on the indispensable tools and equipment vital for mold detection and remediation. From moisture meters to air scrubbers and containment materials, these tools enable professionals to conduct thorough inspections and ensure a safe living environment.

Join us as we explore the critical topic of mold and learn how to protect your home, your families, and your health.

This is the final episode of the weekly affirmation edition of the Go Hard Chick Podcast.   In late 2022, I challenged myself to start saying weekly affirmations to assist in cultivating a positive mindset, boost confidence, and improve overall well-being.  On a whim, I thought I would share this practice with the Go Hard Chick listeners.  I hope that you found this special edition helpful and that affirmations have become a daily practice in your life.

The regular episodes of the Go hard Chick Podcast will continue to be released biweekly as scheduled.
