In today's society, balance can sometimes feel like an unachievable ideal. From nutrition to exercise to meditation, it can be hard to find habits that work for us and to stick with them.

We are all guilty of setting lofty, often unrealistic goals, only to feel like failures when we fall short of them. Know that you are not alone, you are not a failure - you just haven't found the right strategy yet.

I found myself in the same situation far too many times to count, until eventually I found a process that works for me.

In this episode, we are exploring the power of the 80/20 rule and the Pareto Principle. This approach has allowed me to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle without feeling restricted, and I encourage my clients to implement it into their own routines too. My hope is that this introduction to balancing priorities will bring you a measure of peace as well.

We cover:

• An explanation of the Pareto Principle
• Why it's difficult to have 100% perfect nutrition all of the time
• How to get out of a negative emotional state
• Tips to staying on track with your nutrition goals while still having fun
• How to apply the 80/20 rule to health and nutrition

Gluten-free. Fat-free. Less sodium. High Fiber. Sugar-free. High protein. Keto. Low Carb.

These are just some of the terms marketing companies use to convince us to buy their products, by making us believe they are good for us.

But what if I told you that's not the case? We are conditioned to believe that products touting these phrases will make us healthier, when in fact, nine times out of 10, they won't.

In this episode, we're breaking down the good, the bad and the ugly of nutrition labels.

My hope is that by the end of this conversation, you will have a good understanding of what nutritional labels are, what's really in the products we consume, and how increasing our awareness can lead to healthier food choices and lifestyle overall.

We cover:

• The history of food labels
• Understanding how our food is packaged
• The three most important parts of packaging to pay attention to
• What "organic" really means
• Key ingredients you may find in packaged foods
• The different sugars, fats, oils and grains, and which ones are best for our bodies
• Examples of unhealthy and healthy labels

How often do we look at the root cause of our symptoms?

Typically, when we're met with a symptom such as a headache, upset stomach, PMS, or something else, we try to fix it with a pain killer or pill. While I truly believe there's nothing wrong with that, as we do need temporary relief sometimes, it's my belief that our symptoms are not gone, simply silenced.

My methodology is that we must get to the root cause of our symptoms to understand why it's happening, what it signifies, and which steps to take to find balance within our bodies.

In this episode, we explore the relationship between the symptoms we experience, the root cause of those symptoms, and what this means for our health in a primary symptom-first society.

I give you my best tips and tricks and specific formulas I use with my clients to help calibrate their bodies back to optimal health.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How I define health
• What is a disease?
• What the word symptoms means and how they are signals for our bodies
• The three-step journey to bring our bodies back into balance
• BODIWELL as my methodology for wellness
• How to form a habit to support your body

Are you ready to embrace a healthier you? Do you want to do it naturally?

Welcome to the very first episode of the Healthy You Naturally Podcast! While this show will not be about me, I felt it was important to start at the beginning and share what sparked my interest in natural health.

In this first episode, I will take you back in time and share my personal health journey and road to recovery with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and other incurable illnesses.

While this is my story, many of the lessons I've learned still apply and are part of building a healthy foundation.

Through my own experience and over 25 years working as a natural health practitioner, I have come to believe that health is our most precious resource. My goal is to let people know that there are other options available, and that with the right tools, anyone can achieve their health goals.

In this episode, I talk about:

• My background as a natural health practitioner
• How I handled the MS diagnosis
• The modalities I turned to throughout my healing journey
• The work I do today with clients
• What you will learn in future episodes on this podcast
