Did you know that the air inside our homes can be more polluted than the outside air? And you don't have to live in a home with a smoker for this to be true. In this enlightening conversation with Kelly Love, co-founder of Branch Basics, we learn about the toxins polluting our homes and affecting our health as well as ways to start making the shift to non-toxic living. Kelly shares a lot of useful information on the common household products that are wrecking the most toxic havoc in our homes, and you may be surprised to know that those are cleaning products and synthetic fragrances found in air fresheners and candles. Even more important, she gives us an easy guide into how you can move away from toxins without having to completely change your life overnight. Kelly also tells us the powerful stories behind why Branch Basics was created and how they can help you in your non-toxic journey through a plethora of info on their website and non-toxic cleaning products that they developed through rigorous research and testing.

In the "You Want Me To Do What??" section, Shanna reviews the Branch Basics products and explains why they are such a simple, yet powerful step towards removing toxins from your lifestyle. Nicole talks about her plans to steadily incorporate more non-toxic things in her life by adding Branch Basics cleaning products, getting a clothes line, and maybe even composting.

Episode Recap: Interview with Kelly Love - 2:18, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 46:00

Highlights:

• Branch Basics has three co-founders who became passionate about clean, non-toxic living after having personal experiences with the effects of removing toxins from their lives and the their families lives:
• • Marilee Nelson is a Board Certified Nutritionist, Certified Building-Biologist, and Building Materials Specialist. She showed the other two co-founders the benefits of clean living.
  • Allison Evans is the niece of Marilee and experienced the healing benefits of clean living from her Aunt Marilee after suffering from debilitating illnesses.
  • Kelly Love is friend's with Allison and joined her at her Aunt Marilee's during her summer of healing in college.
• Branch Basics was born of the desire to "get Marilee's brain on the internet."
• When it comes to common ailments like headaches, before grabbing for some aspirin, stop to ask yourself what you've been exposed to recently to see what may have triggered it.
• Start with the removal of harmful chemicals.
• Toss these toxins first:
• • Pesticides
  • Cleaning products that don't have an ingredient list or have a caution warning
  • Synthetic fragrances
• The word fragrance on an ingredient list looks innocent, but can have over 300 chemicals proven to be harmful to health.
• Tips for Moving Towards a Non-toxic Lifestyle:
• • Non-negotiable - get rid of pesticides
  • For cleaning products that aren't non-toxic that you want to use, store them in an airtight sterilite container, preferable outside.
  • If you are using cleaning products that aren't non-toxic, only use them when you NEED them with good ventilation
• Air quality is impacted by chemicals in cleaning products even when they aren't being used as the volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds are constantly emitting from the products.
• Get rid of air fresheners and candles with synthetic fragrances.
• If diffusing essential oils, get organic products that aren't processed with solvents.
• Open the windows for at least 10 minutes every day to help with your indoor air quality.
• Put your phone on airplane mode and turn off your wifi every night.
• Mindset is important on this journey to non-toxic living. Don't operate from being scared because that creates stress in the body, which isn't healthy. Instead, focus on this as an opportunity to help improve the well-being of yourself and your family.

You don't need to have a 'green thumb' to take care of plants, especially if plants are part of your self care routine. As Niyya Tenee of The Bloom Journey says, "When you decide you want to keep a plant, you can keep a plant." So what does plant care actually have to do with self care? This is what we dive into with our guest, Niyya. She walks us through her plant care journey, which started with her simply wanting plants even though she usually killed them. From her first few plants to the veritable in-home jungle she now basks in, we learn about how she's found a connection with plants that goes beyond the 'how-to' tips of keeping plants alive. She describes how her plants are a "botanical mood ring" that help to remind her to take time for herself and take care of herself. While Niyya gives us some plant care tips, we spend most of the conversation getting to understand the deeper emotional benefits and personal growth you can experience by taking care of plants.

In the "You Want Me To Do What??" section, Nicole shares about her love for gardening in the spring and summer and how that has become a big part of her "me-time." She also talks about her takeaways from our conversation with Niyya and realizes that she wants to bring plants into home so she can have a year-round connection to nature through plant care. Shanna gives us insight into why she has a few indoor plants and why she's wanting to move so that she can have more. 

Episode Recap: Interview with Niyya Tenee - 2:07, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 56:25

Highlights:

• Niyya decided to try taking care of plants because she wanted to make her home a sanctuary for herself and her kids.
• Plants "speak" to you through their appearance (eg. drooping leaves, yellowing or browning leaves, growth of new shoots). 
• One benefit Niyya describes is the comfort of consistency of plants within a constantly changing world.
• When you decide you want to keep a plant, you can keep a plant because you take the time to learn what each plant needs.
• When you care for something, you form a connection. This includes plants.
• Tips for Newbies to Plant Care:
• • Sometimes plants die, and it's not your fault.
  • It's ok to take the plunge without doing all the research before purchasing.
  • Be kind to yourself through the process.
  • Buy cheap plants when you are starting out.
  • Join a plant community online -- plant people love to talk about plants and answer questions
• Niyya started her online presence known as @thebloomjourney to create a community and share joy through her love of plant care
• • The motto for The Bloom Journey - Personal Growth Inspired by Plants
  • Niyya shares plant care tips and helps troubleshoot plant issues
  • Niyya spreads joy through her weekly "Tea with Plants" on Tuesdays with her alter ego London Lily
  • Niyya shares the journeys and stories of others regularly on her platform, including on Wednesdays with "Self Care Through Plant Care."
• Niyya's Top Self Care Tips:
• • Take time for yourself - whatever that looks like
  • Forgive yourself for whatever you need to forgive yourself for
  • Act like you believe in yourself, even if you don't

Spoiler Alert: Dry needling is not acupuncture performed by Physical Therapists. Thanks to this conversation with Danielle Colvin, PT,DPT,OCS, we learn exactly what functional dry needling is, why and when it is used in physical therapy treatment, and what to expect as a patient. We also spend some time in understanding orthopedic physical therapy and how beneficial that can be for people, whether or not dry needling is used. Danielle finishes off the discussion by providing her top tips for staying healthy, active, and mobile in your body -- you definitely want to hear those.

Episode Recap: Interview with Danielle Colvin - 1:59, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 37:50

Highlights:

• An orthopedic physical therapist treats conditions and issues relating to muscles, bones, ligaments, tendons, connective tissues, and nerves
• Functional dry needling is a non-pharmacological intervention used to reduce inflammation and increase function
• Dry needling evolved from examining outcomes from injection-based procedures commonly used for reducing pain. Research showed that the needle itself created the change in the body, not the fluid being injected.
• Needles used in dry needling is a monofilament needle meaning that it is much thinner than a hypodermic needle (the needles used for injections)
• Dry needling is typically done in addition to other physical therapy treatments
• Needles go in deeper than acupuncture needles as they are going into the muscle belly and fibers
• The physical therapist is always watching how the body is responding to the needles so they are not going to leave needles in long 
• Needles vary in length from 30mm to 130mm, depending on what the treatment is targeting
• Becoming certified to do dry needling requires continuing education coursework that is offered in three levels
• Danielle's Top 3 Tips for Staying Active & Healthy:
• • Prevent injury through:
  • • Hydration
    • Sleep
    • Warm-up/Cool downs with workouts
    • Engaging the core/doing core work prior to a workout
  • Don't ignore dysfunction in how you move
  • Respect your pain - treat it, manage it, and don't think yourself into more pain by stressing about it

In this special solo episode, Nicole and Shanna talk about their love for sugar, why Shanna decided she needed to go on a sugar detox, and what really is so bad about consuming so much added sugar. We also hear a clip that didn't make it into Episode 49: Eating for a Longer, Healthier Life, in which Jennifer Maynard shares some of the science behind sugar addiction and how to cut out added sugars from your diet. (Spoiler alert: this conversation with Jennifer Maynard kick-started Shanna's interest in wanting to do a sugar detox.) We also hear from Nicole as to why she didn't join in on the sugar detox, but how she has been made more aware of the added sugars in what she and her kids eat. Shanna gives some insight into what to expect if you do a sugar detox and her top tips to prepare you for one.

Highlights:

• Studies have shown that sugar addiction resembles opiate addiction
• Studies have also shown that rats prefer sugar over cocaine, even for those rats dependent on cocaine
• Sugar in fruit acts differently in the body than added sugar because of the other dietary components of fruit (fiber, flavenols, antioxidants, etc.)
• Besides negative consequences of obesity, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke, overconsumption of added sugar can affect your memory and cause other cognitive impairments
• Refined sugar is also known to cause inflammation in the body. Chronic inflammation is the cause of disease
• Things like maple syrup, honey, coconut sugar, and other "healthy" sugars, are only marginally better for you than refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup when considering the effect it has on your body.
• Jennifer Maynard highlights the following points:
• • Sugar is 6-8 times more addictive than cocaine
  • It takes 3 weeks for you to kick sugar cravings
  • If you crave sugar, try drinking a big glass of water before eating a sweet treat
  • Don't eat dessert before dinner. Eat a meal and let it settle before having dessert as you often may not want it.
• Shanna's Top 3 Tips for Those Looking to Do a Sugar Detox:
• • Do a 30 day detox to get over physical cravings, gain awareness around all the foods that contain added sugars, and find new recipes and foods that you like that avoid added sugars.
  • Get rid of all the processed foods with added sugars from your house before starting the detox.
  • Have drinks on hand that you like that do not have added sugars, natural sweeteners or artificial sweeteners in them.

Intrigued by the idea of the energetic body and how an age-old practice like acupuncture can move energy? But not so sure about the idea of having a bunch of needles stuck in you? Five-Element Acupuncture might just be for you! In this episode, we learn all about Five-Element Acupuncture from Melissa Farran, a board certified and licensed Acupuncturist. She walks us through this healing modality that is rooted in nature and natural law and is believed to be the most ancient practice of acupuncture. Melissa describes what to expect in a treatment session as well as talks through the actual needling process, which involves inserting and removing hair-thin needles in targeted acupuncture points. She also shares with us her advice on staying in rhythm with nature and the seasons to maximize your well-being.

In the "You Want Me To Do What??" section, Shanna details out her experience with Five-Element Acupuncture. She compares it with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture and concludes that, while she misses the nap she could take with TCM, she prefers Five-Element.

Episode Recap: Interview with Melissa Farran - 2:31, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 52:57

Highlights:

• Five-Element Acupuncture is believed to be the oldest form of acupuncture ever practiced
• Five-Element is based on the idea that humans are part of nature and that we experience changes with the seasons
• • Whatever we notice in nature, we start noticing in people
• The five elements are Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water
• In this system, practitioners are trained to hone their senses so they can use them to diagnose their patients
• • Senses focus on color, sound, odor and emotion
• Training to become a Five-Element Acupuncturist is a four year Masters program that includes:
• • 2 years of study/schooling
  • 2 years of clinical, supervised practice
• In Five-Element Acupuncture:
• • Practitioners diagnose and plan treatments by identifying imbalances as it relates to the five elements
  • The focus is less on treating symptoms and more on identifying the root cause and bringing that into balance
  • The needling practice used is tonification which means a needle is placed in an acupuncture point and then removed
  • While a needle may be left in for a few minutes, the Acupuncturist does not leave the room and the needle does not typically stay in as long as they do in TCM Acupuncture
  • Work with the herb Moxa which is heated on the acupuncture point before the needle is placed
• Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) vs Five-Element:
• • The acupuncture points are the same
  • Both systems are working with the energy in the body
  • TCM will put needles in and leave them in while practitioner leaves the room for 20-30 minutes -- This does not happen in Five-Element
• What to expect in a treatment session:
• • Start with clearing energy in the body by placing needles superficially in the back
  • Observing with the senses, taking pulses, and feeling for energy blocks
  • Not a lot of needles used -- focus on very targeted acupuncture points based on energy and imbalances
  • Finish with grounding points on either the legs and feet or arms and hands
• Melissa's Top Tips for Optimum Well-Being:
• • Prioritize sleep
  • Move your body
  • Focus on hydration

Psychics and channeling are so much more than mainstream media has led you to believe. In this episode, we get to know what it really means to communicate with non-physical entities and why you should want to learn from these guides in our conversation with Christina Rice. Christina is an intuitive trance channel and 7D energy healer who found herself developing her psychic abilities after going down the rabbit hole of energy healing and other alternative healing modalities after struggling with health issues that weren't being helped by the Western medical world. We spend a lot of time in this conversation understanding the ins and outs of channeling and dispelling some of the silly ideas put forward by media. Christina shares with us the most important reason why everyone should give channeling a try -- it's a way to take a quantum leap in your life rather than taking baby steps towards your dreams and life purpose.

In the "You Want Me To Do What??" section, Nicole and Shanna go in depth about their experience in a small group 7D Healing Circle led by Christina. They each talk about the messages they were given by Christina and how that resonated with them. One thing they both agree on is that channeling is well worth a try!

Episode Recap: Interview with Christina Rice - 1:28, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 55:12

Highlights:

• Channeling is to get information through communication with non-physical entities
• Trance channeling is a form of channeling in which the person channeling is allowing the non-physical entity to "step in" and use the person's physical voice to communicate
• Another way to think of channeling is acting as a translator for non-physical entities
• Channeling happens in flow state
• Everyone channels -- think of times when you got into flow state
• What's the difference between a psychic and medium?
• • A medium is a psychic that specifically communicates with loved ones that have passed
  • A psychic is communicates with non-physical entities whether passed loved ones, guides, etc.
• You get to set boundaries with what you want channeled
• Psychics can't control the future or tell you exactly what your future will be because you can control your decisions
• Messages from channeling are focused more on the present -- what you can do now rather than predicting the future
• Develop your intuition so you can trust the answers you already have
• To tap into your intuition more, get quiet
• • Meditate
  • Don't ask anyone for their opinion for 24 hours

The wellness world has put so much focus on things like meditation, yoga, special diets, and alternative medicine that it has often overlooked a powerful, but simple tool to better your well-being: water. Nicole Sciandra, Wellness Coach (and former Marine Biologist), shares her expertise in water. She highlights the ways that our tap water has been altered with chemicals and contaminants so as not to be as "good" for us as it can be. She also talks about the concept of living water and why that may be the best water for you. Throughout this episode, she shares a lot of tips and recommendations on how you can harness the power of water to take care of your health and well-being.

In the "You Want Me To Do What??" section, Shanna gives some insight into how she selected the Berkey Filter that she uses to filter her drinking water, and the steps you can take to find the right filter for your water.

Episode Recap: Interview with Nicole Sciandra - 1:39, "You Want Me To Do What??" section - 43:32

Highlights:

• "Living" water is water closest to the state you find it in nature:
  • Structured
  • Free-flowing
  • Ionized
  • Alkaline (not using a chemical agent)
• Be aware of what is in the bottled water you buy. For example, many of the bottled alkaline water are chemically manipulated using baking soda.
• Kangen Machines have filters to filter out harmful chemicals as well as medical-grade platinum and titanium plates for electrolysis – this is done to re-ionize the water
• Recommendations to consume "healthier"/ "better for you water:
  • If you buy bottled water, do your research online of what is in the different water for the different companies
  • Get a filter for your drinking water at home
  • Consider a filter for the water you use to bathe
  • Our bodies are made up of the same percentage of water as the planet is
• Nicole Sciandra's Top 3 Tips for Using Water as a Wellness Tool:
  • Be intentional with the water you consume. Learn more about what's in your water supply, do you need to filter it, and what bottled water is the best option (if you buy bottled water)
  • Don't underestimate the importance of elimination and the role that water plays in that
  • Find a way to harness water as a healing modality (eg. Baths, being by water in nature)
• Shanna's recommendations for finding a water filter that works for you:
  • Research what you need to filter out based on your city/where your water comes from
  • Set a budget of what you are willing to pay for the water filter so you don't get lost in looking at options that are out of your price range
  • Search for water filters that filter out all or the worst of the contaminants and chemicals in your water supply
  • Start with filtering your drinking water and then consider filtering your bathing water
