#194 Today, I'm here with my amazing wife, Lynda Griparic, answering your questions about our individual wellness journeys. Lynda and I took very different paths in arriving to our beliefs on wellness, and in this episode, we share those paths with you to hopefully show you that everyone can live a healthy life, no matter their background. We also talk about the importance of asking yourself where your joy is in your life, and how you can contribute to your individual wellness while being a parent. If you want to get to know Lynda and I a bit better, then this is definitely the episode for you. About Lynda: Lynda's journey with gut health started in her early 20's and, as is a common trait of twenty somethings, she strived to achieve an image of what 'healthy' looked like. "Physically I looked happy, healthy and displayed all the right signs of someone who looked after themselves, but something wasn't quite right," Lynda says. Studying amongst other practitioners it had become clear that her passion was gut health, but more specifically constipation. Faced with an overall feeling of heaviness, lethargy and a little bit of embarrassment she realized that she wanted to help others let go of the shame that constipation brings. Many were suffering...mostly in silence. Unfortunately, the repercussions of leaving constipation unattended aren't limited to the short term. Quick fixes such as laxatives can be detrimental to one's health and mask what may be a bigger problem at hand. The long-term consequences of avoiding seeking medical help for constipation can be extremely harmful and scary words like chronic disease could come into play down the track. So, after a conversation with her husband, Guy, she announced that she wanted to work with constipated people. "You can imagine his surprise. And that is how I came to develop BetterMe Tea - a tea designed to promote improved gut health and digestion - assisting those who struggle with constipation and sluggish bowel movements go to the bathroom with ease," she says. As well as being the 'poo whisperer' she is a qualified naturopath, yoga teacher and wellness practitioner. Her qualifications and personal experience with constipation have helped her help clients struggling with the battle of misbehaving poos find relief and move on with their lives - sans constipation!
