IMPACT

Food really is medicine, but sometimes staying away from food is even more healing. That's the idea behind intermittent fasting. In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner and internationally known women's health expert whose TEDx Talk has received more than 10 million views.

Intermittent fasting is eating within a prescribed time period, and not eating within another prescribed time period. Why does it matter? It has to do with our metabolism. Metabolic flexibility is critically important to our health, and intermittent fasting promotes such flexibility by allowing your body to be more effective at using different types of fuel. Chronically overfeeding the body is what contributes to metabolic disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, infertility issues, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and so much more.

Fasting improves our insulin sensitivity so our bodies can access stored fat as a fuel source instead of stored sugar. And when we're using fat as a fuel source, we don't get hungry in between meals and we're able to lose weight much more easily. It also allows our body to get rid of diseased and disordered cells, like taking out the garbage.

Many women who do intermittent fasting also are able to come off blood pressure and diabetes medications. They have fewer digestive issues, less bloating and more regular bowel movements. It can also help to lower the risk for certain types of cancers, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Our bodies are designed to be challenged, so it's important to make changes as you get older. Intermittent fasting can be one of those changes to keep your body healthy and optimal.

Cynthia Thurlow is so conversant with the topic of intermittent fasting and there is much to take in from this episode. So have a listen and learn more!

What does thinking like an entrepreneur mean?

In this week's episode of IMPACT, Meghan unpacks this very question with her guest Kelsey Abbott, a serial entrepreneur and triathlete who is unapologetically invested in helping people unlock their true potential.

Meghan and Kelsey discuss the mechanisms of thinking that define us as entrepreneurs which brings us to the final episode of this series and the final letter of the IMPACT acronym, the 'T', which stands for thinking like an entrepreneur.

Meghan and Kelsey believe one of the best qualities of an entrepreneur is being decisive and grabbing on to an opportunity when it presents itself. However, they stress that the "how" is really less important than having the clarity of what you want to attract as an entrepreneur. Life can unfold almost magically if you set your intention on your entrepreneurial goals.

The foundation of your business is you, so you have to take care of your physical, mental and spiritual self first to be able to help others. Make yourself available to others because entrepreneurs don't meet their clients sitting at desks; they meet them when they're out in the world being their best selves.

Get rid of your negative thought habits and the story you've been telling yourself. Picture your ideal clients and go after them. Be excited to do it differently and when people say no, don't take it personally. It's not about you at all, it's about the universe guiding each person -- including you.

In this episode of Impact, Meghan talks with April Stroink, a money coach and financial advisor who specializes in helping entrepreneurs create financial clarity, ease, and abundance in their practice.

Throughout their discussion, Meghan and April continually tie their conversation back to the analogy of a financial storm. The storm could represent a shift in the financial market or something that could potentially throw your business off course. Whatever it may represent, Meghan and April discuss that storms are not necessarily meant to swoop us out to sea. Those who will fare the best are the ones who can acknowledge the trajectory of the storm and make decisions in alignment with what is coming their way. When you see the storm coming, there are decisions that you can make to help protect your home, and in the case of this analogy, to protect your business and financial situation. When your business is future proofed you will be able to capitalize and move momentum in the direction of opportunity.

But future-proofing your business and adding additional revenue streams can be challenging. Many entrepreneurs have self-negating attitudes about how they make money, or perhaps believe that they don't deserve to make abundant money for the services they offer. Meghan and April unpack this idea of quantum wealth, which comes from a mindset of abundance, not scarcity.

As Meghan has mentioned in previous episodes, she is completely over allowing the energy of scarcity to be pervasive in this community. And this episode will certainly be helpful in stopping the cycle of scarcity as it exposes some of the mindset and thinking traps that practitioners are finding themselves in. Techniques and strategies are provided that can be deployed in your business which will leave you in a position to take advantage of the opportunities that lay before you.

Want to be prepared for the storm and minimize your risk moving forward? Then you won't want to miss this episode.

On this week's episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker is joined by Elise Darma, a Canadian entrepreneur, marketing coach and expert in creating effective social media strategies for businesses, to discuss the "A" in IMPACT medicine - attraction.

As an entrepreneur, the task of constantly creating and posting can feel daunting and unbearable. How do you attract and capture that target audience when your video comes up in their feed? Elise answers this question and so much more in this episode as she and Meghan discuss how to use the various social media platforms efficiently.

Tik Tok is great for keeping up on trends, but don't forget Instagram and Twitter, and even Pinterest, YouTube shorts and LinkedIn. And although there is an overwhelming amount of platforms, Elise points out that you can repurpose your videos on different sites.

The key to slowly building your audience is to be consistent. Short-form video is the best free tool you have to generate sales and grow your business. The ideal short-form video either entertains or educates or ideally does both, depending on your niche. A really effective first sentence or headline in your caption will grab viewers attention. And to keep their attention, cut clips tight and talk fast, removing any dead air or pauses. Using props is another great way to draw viewers in.

Talking-head videos that share a tip are also effective marketing tools but be sure you set them up to collect an email address at the end.

These are just a few of the many tips Elise discusses in this episode. She is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to all things social media so make sure to tune in to this episode to hear all of the strategic and tactical information she has to share.

On this week's episode of IMPACT, Meghan talks about the "P" in IMPACT Medicine -- the people you serve in your business. She points out that our healthcare system is based on the "line of fine," meaning that most healthcare professionals think getting people to the "you're fine" state is enough. Healthcare is not set up to prevent illness or to teach people how to live a healthy, optimal life for longevity.

If you're an allied care healthcare professional or any type of entrepreneur, there are three ingredients you must have to run your business and ultimately help people in the best way you can.

The first is love -- you need to love what you do and connect to your purpose. The second is lucrative -- it has to make money and have a level of financial stability. And the third is leveraged -- having people and systems in place as part of your growth strategy.

Once these three things are in place, your clients will build trust with you. In the healthcare space, it means people will realize they can actually control their health through their actions, diet and frequency of exercise, with a trusted provider who thinks beyond the "you're fine" mentality.

It's important to select your business niche based on the problems your clients need to solve. All these topics and more will be presented at the Impact Lives event.

Make sure to tune in to this episode to learn more about the "P" in IMPACT Medicine.

On this week's episode of IMPACT, Meghan Walker talks about how we all sabotage our own mindset at times and go to a place of scarcity rather than a place of abundance. The mindset of waiting for people to come into our world and recognize and value who we are before we can feel good about ourselves is misguided. We can't move into a state of abundance when we're trapped in a state of scarcity ourselves.

Meghan invites all her viewers to set a new standard for who they surround themselves with and the energies they will tolerate in their lives. Part of that is addressing your state of busyness and taking ownership of your own mindset – to move into a maximized state of impact no matter what your duties and responsibilities are.

Expect miracles and miracles will happen. It's important to step into a state of self-authorization instead of a state of urgency, and that leads to a state of decisiveness which creates magnetic attraction to abundance.

The topic of mindset work is crucial, especially in the entrepreneurial world, so tune in and learn more!

Intention Is The New Balance - How To Live On Purpose with Amy Wong

Meghan is joined by the ever-compelling Amy Wong on this week's episode of Impact. Amy is a leadership and transformational coach and the founder of Always On Purpose®. Amy started out studying and teaching math and then went on to get a master's degree in transpersonal psychology to feed her hunger for answers to life's big questions. She's written a book called "Living on Purpose, Five Deliberate Choices to Realize Fulfillment and Joy."

Amy says the first step is to ask yourself – What's more important? Playing it safe or changing the world? From there, you can make choices that get you to your goals. Living with intention means taking full responsibility for your choices. If you can learn to do that, you are never a victim of circumstance.

However, we all know that making big choices can bring about anxiety and nervousness. The key is to realize that you are always standing for something, which is your primary underlying objective. When you stand for growth and not conflict avoidance, your life will change radically.

Eloquence and innovation come from taking a stand for what you believe in and rechanneling all your doubt or anxiety into one focal point. This focusing mechanism is a powerful tool. When you claim what you want, you become empowered and feel unity, love and harmony in your life.

Tune in to hear all the 'aha' moments that Amy and Meghan's discussion brings to light.

On this week's episode of IMPACT, Meghan discusses the future of our healthcare system and what we can do to improve our present system which is based on a sick care system.

Meghan starts out by talking about getting her first mammogram and how it brought up concerns of depersonalization and lack of dignity for patients and what they're going through.

Many aspects of our healthcare system have remained antiquated and have become undignified. Even handing a patient a hospital gown can be disenfranchising and disempowering. Meghan envisions a future healthcare system that's sustainable and can perpetuate and enable humans to become their healthiest selves – to move people toward their health potential rather than just fixing chronic health issues and managing disease.

Our current system is based on maintaining a mediocre level of health rather than educating patients on how to build on their health. This includes teaching people how to eat, how to exercise, and how to remove allergens from their diet. When we look at the future of healthcare, we must look at giving people a strategy on how to move forward toward optimal health and understanding how their bodies work. It also includes changing the traditional sick care system so healthcare providers don't suffer from burnout.

Meghan is heading up her fifth year of Impact LIVEs from November 17 – 20, 2022, bringing together practitioners from around the world to discuss concepts at the forefront of healthcare. This year's theme is understanding the future trends of healthcare and IMPACT medicine, including individualized care, the advent of DNA medicine, integration of technology and the intentional delivery of optimal healthcare.

Rachel Varga is a double-certified nurse and aesthetic specialist who's done more than 20,000 rejuvenation procedures and has written international papers on optimal skincare. She's at the top of her field when it comes to evidence-based approaches to skincare.

Let's face it -- your skin quality is one of the first things people notice about you, and we all want to have radiant skin that glows. But how do you get to that level of radiance? It starts by solving your health issues from the inside out.

Rachel points out that air, water, lighting, and electromagnetic purification in your daily life is really key. Purify the air in your office and your living space. Use reverse osmosis to purify your water. For lighting, get rid of your LED lights and go back to halogen. Keep your phone on airplane mode. Turn Bluetooth off in your home.

She also recommends getting grounded by spending a lot of time outside and "living like a caveman" by eating the right foods, simplifying your routine, and limiting your cell phone use.

Her five quintessential skin care practices include cleansing your face morning and night, moisturizing, using a mineral sunscreen every day, exfoliating twice a week and doing an at-home mask treatment once a week. Follow these skin care practices and you'll be well on your way to radiance, both inside and out.

Listen and take note as Rachel expands upon the topic of radiance and how if we feel great and look great our interactions with the people, places and things around us will be brighter.

Love Coach, Sami Wunder, shares how high-performing women can find love in their lives without alienating their partners, and how they can keep that relationship high-performing.

Many women who consider themselves ambitious go-getters have a hard time attracting and keeping a good man in their lives. The first step is to look at how, as a woman, you may be contributing to the dynamics that you face in your love life. When women stop placing blame and learn how to be vulnerable in relationships, their partners react in a positive way and embrace that vulnerability.

That doesn't mean playing a submissive role or acting helpless. It means looking at your love life patterns and seeing where you may be blocking love from coming in. Once you shift those patterns from a win/lose point of view to a new pattern of acceptance on both sides, the passion and love is enhanced.

A key factor is bringing the feminine aspect into a relationship. Embodying your feminine is about being who you truly are. Drop the masks, drop the walls and be vulnerable and comfortable in your own imperfection. Be open to receiving love as well as giving love. When you let your guard down, the real connection happens.

Tune in to this interesting discussion on love, vulnerability and the high-performance woman.
