We’ve all heard the term Paleo, and now the latest buzz word in diet and nutrition is Keto.  But what does it really mean, how does it work, and why would you consider following this type of diet and lifestyle?  We discuss all this with my guest on this episode, Naomi Norwood.  Naomi has been one of our clients at The Strength Code for almost 6 years now and she has shared with us her personal journey discovering the Paleo Lifestyle, how it changed her life, and how she ultimately became an expert and now serves as the President of the Ancestral Health Society (AHS).  The AHS is motivated by the belief that evolution has much to teach us about healthful living and effective healing through their annual Symposium and their Journal of Evolution and Health.  The AHS Symposium brings together a community of scientists, healthcare professionals, and health enthusiasts who collaborate to understand health challenges from an evolutionary perspective.  The Journal is a peer-reviewed open-access journal serving academic researchers and clinical practitioners who seek to cultivate interdisciplinary collaboration to develop and test evolutionary approaches to health.  Naomi has a wealth of information to give us and has also included an extensive list of resources, books and websites about Ancestral Health that are included in the Show Notes here.  Ancestral Health Resources Ancestral Health Society: https://ancestralhealth.org/ Ancestral Health Symposium, AHS19, is scheduled for August 8 through 10, at the University of California, San Diego.

71 Beyond Paleo; Ancestral Health Expert Naomi Norwood

Have you ever been hypnotized? Would you believe me if I told you that we all spend parts of every day in hypnosis? For example, have you ever been driving home and suddenly realized that you don’t remember the drive? That is in fact a level of hypnosis. Hypnosis is far more than just zoning out or being on auto pilot though, and I was able to experience several professional sessions with my guest, Certified Hypnotherapist Britt Sheflin. I can assure you she didn’t make me do anything silly or embarrassing! In fact, Britt explains that no one can be hypnotized to do anything they don’t want to do. It is always under our control. Instead, Britt helps people accomplish goals and make shift happen through her customized one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions specializing in Weight Loss, Sports Performance, Joyous Labor & Childbirth, Vocational Creativity, releasing Fears and Phobias, and more. I hope you find this interview as interesting as I did, and maybe you too will find that being hypnotized can be a good thing.

69 In the Vortex of Gratitude with Dr. Marcy Cole

Through the course of me doing this podcast, I have become more and more aware of energy. The energy that surrounds us every day – the energy of our thoughts, words and actions – the energy of others – the energy of nature. I have also become more aware of how to tap into that energy – through meditation, breath work, sounds and movement. Also, by learning about ancient healing practices and chakras, mantras and ceremonies. As I gain this knowledge, I realize that I have so much more to learn and there are many paths to achieve what we define as success, or fulfillment in life, and that definition is constantly evolving. This is why I’m so very excited to introduce you to Dharma Love. Dharma is a healer, or as she puts it – a “helper” – it is not what she does, it is who she is and her mission is to help others have the most authentic relationship with themselves – to help them to awaken their own gifts. Dharma believes these powers have always been a part of us, and that they stay dormant until one is ready to acknowledge them and make these unique powers part of every day life. If you feel you’re ready for a vibrational change that will translate to the discovery of your life purpose, then I cannot wait for you to meet this beautiful being. www.iamdharmalove.com Instagram: @iamdharmalove https://linktr.ee/iamdharmalove Check out our Sound Mind & Body YouTube Channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4EanYu-gJYsBydq-i4vz2Q Contact Sheila with what's the most Woo-Woo thing you've ever done by visiting www.soundmindbodypodcast.com Vibrant Living Wellness Center Podcast http://bit.ly/VibrantLivingWellnessCenterPodcast Join Producer Tim Edwards on the 28-Day Cleanse! http://bit.ly/28DayDetoxCleanse If interested in producing a podcast of your own, like the Sound, Mind, & Body Podcast, contact Tim Edwards at Tim@InBoundPodcasting.com

68 Dharma Love: Discover Your Life Purpose

Sheila speaks to chef, food philosopher and nutritionist Sherry Strong, the author of Return to Food and the founder of the Sweet Freedom project. Having been a full-on sugar addict and twice her present size, Sherry now inspires people to trade the white stuff for the right stuff so they can live their best life. Sherry helps people get sugar-free naturally by doing the inner work that makes eating behaviors a natural shift. As the former Victorian Chair of Nutrition Australia, Melbourne President of Slow Food, Curator & Co-Founder of the World Wellness Program, Sherry has developed coaching methodologies that have attracted elite athletes, CEO's, celebrities and billionaires who have sought Sherry out for the transformational process she now trains food coaches to apply with their clients. Find out how dangerous sugar really is, that it can be more addictive than cocaine and is related to developing dementia and Alzheimers! Yikes! Never fear - Sherry has holistic “anti-diet” strategies for ending sugar addiction while still enjoying sweet things.
