You know that one person who is going to the gym carrying a gallon jug of water? Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that isn't the best way to hydrate....

It's still a start though! Hydration impacts everything we do - energy, sleep, focus, nourishment. Optimizing your hydration is a super easy thing to do and totally worth the easy steps to get there.

This new series spawned from our conversations we have on a daily basis. We realized that some of the things we share with one another are just too good to not put them on here.

To start it off, this is about natural healing and what when we dissect "natural" and "healing", we realized that there's really no other way for healing to take place. Let us know what you think!

You know those people that you meet that seem to exude a calming and peaceful presence? Yeah, that's 100% Sepidar. Which totally makes sense with the energetic work that she does to help people heal.

We talked a lot about the role of a healer. How we really just facilitate that process, not actively perform it. Remember - only you can heal you!

It should come to no surprise that the foods we eat impact our health. However, it's been increasingly understood that the emotions we have around our food can do the same.

No wonder there is such a link between food and our hormones. Eating right for YOU is what Heather teaches and how she has a huge impact on women that are working on having a healthier cycle.

Annie is an amazingly intuitive massage therapist with a background in personal training for athletes. Blending sports massage and more gentler techniques is her expertise and it shows!

While having someone work on your muscles for you can be great, she says that some of the biggest benefit comes straight from something that is immeasurable - human touch. Also likely something that we all desperately need more of these days.

Enjoy the episode :-)
