In this episode, I have the wonderful opportunity to sit down with Brad Yates...speaker, author, YouTuber, and "Tapping" Extraordinaire. Tapping, also known as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), is a very simple healing tool to help oneself clear mental and emotional blockages that could be keeping them stuck to any degree in life.  Brad's genuine intent to share a couple basic videos on YouTube years ago exploded as people took to his creative and often humorous use of EFT, which led to his now massive online presence, with over 1000 videos and 45 million views. Tapping is used as an effective method of physically resetting the body’s fear response by tapping on energy meridians throughout the body, while talking through the process in order to facilitate the clearing of emotional resistance and/or trauma.  During this discussion we go over all of the following and more:

• The basics of EFT (tapping)
• The science behind tapping and how it coincides with the science of acupuncture
• What happens with the brain/nervous system as you implement EFT/tapping
• The "whys" behind how despite our desire to change or heal, we get stuck or feel stagnant in our progress due to unconscious programming
• How tapping can be applied to any scenario/concern one is having in life, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, general stress, anger, insomnia, etc.
• How it can help with acute or chronic health symptoms and chronic pain
• FAQs on tapping 
• Full demonstration via YouTube: https://youtu.be/DMA3-CCJFc8?si=190xfFbGMfC0uwPj

• Why congestion is so prevalent in the liver and gallbladder
• How we are deceived into thinking stones are rare or only seen via imaging
• The protocol details of liver flushing and the benefits
• Tips for before/during/after flushing
• Typical healing reactions seen during and after flushing
• Retracing

In this discussion, I sit down with Wellness Entrepreneur, Behavior Change Specialist, and Podcast Host Chardét Ryel, as we unravel the complexities surrounding toxic "healthy" behaviors.

In today's times, it's more important than ever to care for our bodies and our health, yet it's also easier than we assume to ironically fall into unhealthy patterns of obsession.  Chardét gives us a lot to ponder here, as we chat about the following:

• The WHY's on how fitness can evolve into an unhealthy practice
• How body image struggles often stem from our childhood and developmental years
• Social media's role in this, and how we are often not shown the whole story with health/fitness influencers
• How we easily justify and mentally minimize these behaviors due to the inherent nature of fitness and other wellness habits
• How toxic health/fitness behaviors can influence others around us including our children
• Questions to reflect on if you sense the need to look deeper into this topic 
• Actionable tools to implement NOW, in efforts to step into a more balanced and fulfilling lifestyle

...and more. This episode is a must listen for both women and men who are committed to a healthy lifestyle and truly desire a mentally sustainable approach to achieving their goals and optimizing their well-being in general.

Join me as I sit down with international model, actress, and philanthropist Joy Corrigan, to candidly talk about her journey with Breast Implant Illness and how this experience has led her down a path towards self-discovery and deeper healing. 

This special episode highlights the very real issues concerning Breast Implant Illness, and how impactful the effects of implants can be on the body. Joy does a beautiful job of sharing her story, illustrating the road leading up to her decision to explant, and the emotional turbulence she experienced prior to surgery. We chat about the behind-the-scenes reality of what was physically going on for years and how her body's cues crept in little by little.

This amazing conversation not only reveals the destructive nature of BII, but also calls attention to a much deeper message...as we dive into the importance of mental and emotional health, self-reflection, healing trauma, and more.
Joy gives us a very raw take on how the modeling industry and it's expectations can take a massive toll on body image/self worth, and that we've all been sold a false bill of goods as to what true beauty really entails.

Joy has discovered that she's been divinely called to share her journey and use her platform to help others potentially connect the dots in their own lives...while also bringing imperative awareness to the fact that authentic healing is much more than a physical venture. She shares that trial and struggle are a very real part of life despite career choices, success, status, or fame...and that it's ultimately OUR job to take agency over our health and life.

You'll undoubtedly be touched by this conversation, as you're met with Joy's honesty and genuine determination to help others today and in the days ahead.

Please don't forget to share this episode with someone you believe will benefit from listening, and if you feel called to share your thoughts with either Joy or myself, please don't hesitate...we'd love to hear from you.

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Patient Advocates Amanda Porta and Robyn Towt to have a much needed and detailed discussion about Breast Implant Illness.

Both with remarkable stories and a passion for education, Amanda and Robyn
are on a prominent mission to spread truth among women across the world, in efforts to highlight the very real and COMMON happenings associated with breast implants.

Amanda has worked in and throughout the beauty/plastic surgery industry for decades, and was ultimately inspired to pursue Holistic Health coaching. Now laser focused on guiding women with BII towards healing and optimal health, she has dedicated her life to redirecting the public’s view on what health and beauty really entails. As someone who never saw critical or chronic health issues prior to implants, she’s determined to use her voice and expose the darker sides of beauty procedures and the industry’s dirty secrets.

Robyn—now three-time cancer survivor—became co-founder of the Global Patient Advocacy Coalition (GPAC) and is also an administrator in various online support groups for women who are suffering from BII. She’s worked extensively with Arizona legislators in passing an informed consent law for breast implant surgery, and the GPAC team has also partnered with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) to develop a patient decision checklist.

With both of these women having experienced BII and explant surgeries, they know firsthand how real and truly life-altering these decisions can be. They believe every patient should be given the opportunity to make an educated and informed choice, and that means having ALL of the information, not just selected information.
