In this episode of the Holistic Women's Health podcast, Yoda Olinyk shares her experience with the food industry, becoming a chef, owning a restaurant and catering business, her mental health journey, figuring out who we're meant to be and so much more!

Yoda Olinyk’s passion has always been food. She is the chef and owner of London’s first and only plant-based catering company, and she lives for all vegetables! But long before she was cooking, she was following her first passion - writing. Last year, Yoda shook things up when she published her first book - Salt & Sour - a cookbook memoir which combines both of her deepest loves: food and words. 

There was SO MUCH good information that we had to split it up into two episodes. In episode 2 we dive into all things birth control pill and healing our hormones.

In today's episode of the Holistic Women's Health Podcast, Alex talks about what Post-Birth Control Syndrome is, the signs and symptoms and natural treatments for PBCS. 

Post-Birth Control Syndrome is a set of symptoms that usually happen within the first 4-6 months after stopping hormonal birth control. PBCS is recognized by many professionals including Dr. Aviva Romm and Dr. Jolene Brighten. If you’ve been on the birth control for a long time and decide to stop taking birth control suddenly, you may experience post-birth control syndrome (a condition where you just can’t get your hormones balanced again, even after you stop using hormonal birth control).

In today's episode of the Holistic Women's Health Podcast, Alex talks about the change that's happened in the podcast & why change is not only good but necessary!

She talks about: the name change from 'Life in Moderation' to the 'Holistic Women's Health' podcast, why change is hard and 10 reasons why change is good for you. 

1. Change is learning. Learning is growing. Growing is living

2. Change is exciting. It forces you to be the best version of yourself

3. Without change, things stay the same. Do you want things to stay the same?

4. Without change there is no adventure in life

5. Most people are afraid of change because it forces them outside their comfort zone. There’s no growth in your comfort zone

6. Change = opportunity

7. Change doesn’t always have to be scary and uncomfortable

8. It’s much easier to embrace change than to fight it

9. When we change, this is an opportunity to grow and move forward, when we don’t change we actually stay stagnant and even move backwards since the rest of the world is changing, if you’re not, you’re going backwards.

10. And finally, the most successful people in the world are open to change and actually use it to their advantage, since most people usually resist change.

Let’s talk about money manifestation and money mindset!! In 2021, we are going to level up. Are you tired of not reaching your full potential? Cause I know I am! Now’s the time. We only get one life and life is way too short not to live your best life to its full potential!

A lot of people are saying that 2020 was a write off and 2021 will be the same so they’re not going to be making goals for 2021. I know 2020 was totally unpredictable and 2021 will be as well but every single day is unpredictable. We don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow so what’s holding you back from starting today?!

In this podcast episode, I’ll be sharing with you one of the books that changed my mindset about money and helped me manifest money into my life. The book is: You Are a Badass at Making Money: Master the Mindset of Wealth by Jen Sincero. If you haven’t read the book, I definitely suggest it for your 2021 reading!
