In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Cory Tichauer, founder of Bear Creek Naturopathic Clinic and co-founder of Jivora Health.

We center our conversation around a new at-home specialty lab testing kit through Jivora Health that utilizes Armin Labs in Germany.  This innovative option allows individuals to order specialty labs without a doctor's order, collect samples from the comfort of home and send them directly in for analysis.  For many navigating this illness, access to specialty lab testing can be one of the biggest barriers and this model is designed to increase accessibility while maintaining quality. 

Dr. Cory explains how these test kits work, the different panel options currently available, pricing, and how individuals can begin discerning which testing approach may be most appropriate for their personal health journey.  

In addition to our discussion on testing, we explore the role of high-dose vitamin C in functional and integrative medicine.  Dr. Cory shares clinical insight into how it is being used to support those going through chronic conditions. We talk about how this approach differs from standard over-the-counter supplementation. 

This episode is all about education and empowerment.

Special Offer: Dr. Cory is offering a 10% discount on any Jivora Health at-home testing kits or supplements.  To redeem, use code Tanya10 at checkout on the Jivora Health Website.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I'm joined by Demaree, a nurse who shares her deeply personal healing journey.

Although she believes she had been infected for years, it was a traumatic car accident that ultimately caused her symptoms to surface.

We then take a deeper dive into the role of trauma in chronic illness.  Demaree shares how blocked and unresolved trauma, dating back to her childhood can live in the body and impact recovery.  She opens up about the many layers of healing, reminding us that true healing is not one-dimensional, but more like peeling back the layers of an onion.

Together, we discuss the many layers of recovery and why addressing more than just the physical symptoms matter.

As a special bonus toward the end of the episode, Demaree's husband, Mike joins us to offer heartfelt insight and encouragemnt from the spouse's side of the healing journey. 

Whether you're on the journey yourself or supporting a loved one, this episode is raw, honest and filled with hope.

In this episode, I'm joined by my guest Nicole, an avid horseback rider who spent years exposed to ticks without fully understanding the impact they could have on the body.  After the birth of her first child, her health dramatically declined.  When she was presented with the potential MS diagnosis, Nicole refused to accept it! 

We discuss how Lyme can stay hidden for years/decades and how trauma/major life events can trigger symptoms to come to surface. Nicole also shares the very real fear of thinking outside the box, especially when she was introduced to muscle testing, which felt unfamiliar and uncertain at first.  Despite that fear, she chose to trust the process; and ultimately it became the game changer in her healing journey.  With intention and focus, Nicole shares how she carefully allocated her energy and her financial resources, choosing education and self-advocacy as her most powerful tools.

This conversation is a powerful reminder of how educating yourself, listening to your body and working with the right practitioner can change everything.

If you'd like to learn more about the practitioner Nicole worked with, you can find her here:
