Have you ever thought about how much your thoughts, beliefs, and emotions influence your days, health and ability to heal?

From years spent studying cutting edge science, ancient medicine, and spiritual practices, Kelly Noonan Gores has discovered that we have far more control over our well-being, health + life than we tend to believe. Her documentary Heal, streaming on Netflix, was so popular, it was recently turned into a book.

Today, Kelly joins us to share how to choose love over fear + gives concrete tips on how to make strides in your personal wellness journey.

SHOW NOTES:

• The teachings of Bruce Lipton, Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, among others inspired Kelly to create the documentary and book Heal.
• While dealing with depression in college, Kelly was given Marianne Willamson's book A Return to Love which guided her in finding a grounding force. 
• Fear + love: Kelly sees fear every day but has spiritual practices to avoid being taken over by fear.
• "You do not have to be a victim to your genes."
• Epigenetics: Our DNA is a blueprint and our lifestyle choices are the triggers that turn on or off our genes. 
• Chemical, emotional + physical stress has an incredible impact on our health.
• Kelly reduces stress in her life by practicing meditation, earthing/grounding, and gratitude. 
• Placebo Effect: when we have a belief or expectation that something is going to help us 50-75% is has a positive effect.
• Grammy-winning singer John Legend performed All of Me at her wedding.
