In this episode I'm unraveling some of the downstream -not so great - side effects that come from taking too much supplemental vitamin D.

It's kinda funny how we tend to pick out single nutrients and treat them as a god unto themselves, isn't it? That's not how a nutritional therapist works with nutrients/nutrition.

So, I thought I'd share about a mineral that can get 'drained' by excessive high dose D supplementation. I explain the downstream impact of excess D on tissue calcium levels that leads to a demand for more magnesium and eventually drains sodium and potassium. Then I share how the excess of calcium and decrease of  potassium affects thyroid health by creating a thyroid hormone resistance pattern.

The pro of this approach is you won't be isolating one nutrient apart from others or throwing your biochemistry completely out of balance, therefore your health!

In this episode Amy and I chat about how women in burnout can recover by prioritizing pleasure and flowing more in their feminine energy. Ladies, it's time to stop the hustle -unless it's the 70s disco version.

We chat about the collective burnout the modern woman faces and our thoughts on how to shift out of doing mode (masculine energy) and more into a flow of pleasure and creativity!

In this episode, I share my beef with how we collectively have become obsessed with vitamin D to the point of detriment.

I wrote a full blog post HERE, be sure to read that so you can see the image and check out the other links I shared. 

It's time to understand how we actually make vitamin D in the body and it's metabolism in the body, it's co-factors and an appropriate path to testing. 

It's important to understand that Vitamin D is made in our bodies by a step by step conversion process. It's not a vitamin we get from food as our primary source of it for human health. 

It's important not to be REACTIVE about the 'vitamin' D piece of your health, YES even in light of 'C-19' prevention.

In this episode, I'm sharing about whole food vitamin C and how to use it holistically to support yourself. (Not medically in a drug like form in high doses or intravenously.) 

In light of the state of emergency we are currently in with the Corona virus right now, I want to share some information with you to consider as well as some recommendations for Vitamin C products. Quality and form matters friends.

So, let's dive in ...

Vitamin C (the whole complex of the vitamin, not solely ascorbic acid) is essential to human survival. You and I, can't manufacture our own vitamin C so we have to get it in our food.

In this episode, I chat with microbiologist Kiran Krishnan all about immune health. He talks about how our immune system is designed by nature to have all of the traits and capability to handle a virus like Covid. The question is, is your immune system in a condition where it can.

Kiran digs into what can throw off the immune response and condition that makes you more susceptible to Covid. He shares the two large components (innate and adaptive) of your immune system so you can understand better how your body works.

There are lots of tools our immune system has -when it comes to Covid the innate response is coming in and basically over-responding (which is what makes you feel sick). The symptoms you feel, come from the immune response to the pathogen. It's not necessarily the pathogen itself. The pathogen is trying to do it's thing and multiply and then your immune system comes along trying to do it's response.

Get ready for a mind blowing lesson that honestly we all need to hear and start to understand, especially as we head into cold and flu season on top of Covid being a prevalent one.

The immune system wouldn't exist without the microbiome, it doesn't have a capability of functioning without the microbiome. The microbiome acts as the neighborhood watch.

What is your microbiome?

In many ways your microbiome and immune system are one in the same. Your microbiome is basically the collection of organisms and all their genetic elements that live and on the host. So, inside you, on you every part of you is full of microbes there isn't a part of you that doesn't have microbes in it.  Nothing in and on your body is sterile, everything has microbes.

Inside your body there's a layer called the mucosal system. This is one of the most important layers for people to understand that exist. The top layer shows up when you are sick in the form of mucous. The mucosal layer is the largest barrier in your body. We used to think it was the skin but it's not, it's the mucosal layer (every orofice). Every way a bacteria or virus or fungus can enter your system goes through the mucosal layer FIRST. This is a checkpoint and barrier to protect the inner surfaces of the body.

Every millimeter of the mucosal is covered by microbes already. We have over 40 trillion microbes that live in our mucosal layer, that's the microbiome.

This is also the system where new bacteria, viruses and fungus enter into. So, think about the job of your immune system. Kiran digs into this so you understand and it's so fascinating that we now know this much about how our body works.

He also talks about how quickly a a viral load can increase when the immune system doesn't recognize the virus once it comes in. It happens when your microbiome isn't working right for you in certain areas of the body.

You need to fix the foundation for your immune system to function properly. No amount of throwing vitamin C or D at yourself as a 'bandaid' will fix this.

In this episode, I'm giving a big ole pep talk to remind you of THE MOST BASIC HABIT that must be in place to not only increase energy BUT to sustain it AND enjoy overall radiant health.

You can't skip this habit, yet most people do and don't realize how badly it's impairing their well being.

Do you know what happens to your body if it does not receive it's daily need of water plus minerals?

{24/7/365 lather, rinse, repeat until you draw your last breath}

If our bodies are made up of 75% water and our brain tissue is 85% water... what happens when we run even 10% low on meeting our needs? What happens then if we run low every day for long periods of time without realizing it?

Since every body function is monitored and dependent to the flow of water, staying properly hydrated daily is the ONLY way of making sure that adequate amounts of water, AND it's transported nutrients, first reach our vital organs (like our brain).

Imagine how the stress of even a little dehydration could compound quickly when daily life stress is coming at you.

According to some medical researchers and doctors, chronic dehydration is the root cause of most major degenerative diseases of the human body.

Since energy and the inability to handle stress are the TOP TWO complaints I hear from every single client, I know this is crucial to keep sharing.

I made some pretty big connections and shared a really powerful client testimonial, so you can see just what is possible for you when you get this essential habit effectively in place.

 { Hydration = the right quality and quantity of water plus the right quality and quantity of minerals }

And I'm also inviting you to join me in my new program REMINERALIZE, where you will learn all the information you need to get started with the basic habits so you can maximize your energy and enjoy radiant health!

In the episode, I chat with Marie Houlden author of her new book; I Choose To Be Happy. 

Marie is an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner who helps women who want more in life and aren't sure how to have it. 

Lots of people are struggling right now and need help, in this episode we talk about emotional healing and learning how to recover from that. Ultimately it's a choice but there can be a lot in the way before we feel able to choose to be happy. 

Patterns we all feel include negative mindsets, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, fear, procrastination -we struggle to receive. We all experience these same things. 

It's helpful to see what of these things is in our way, in Marie's book she gives exercises for you to take inventory on where your life is right now and focus on who you are and who you want to be. 

Duty is not everything, you really can live for your dreams! 

Before you can get to happy, sometimes you have to SEE what is standing in your way. 

Quick fixes don't work when you want true transformation. True transformation relies on your brain set so you can create brain based habits. Every day you have a choice and can reset and take actions towards who you want to be because you are choosing to BE her day in and day out. 

A lot of our beliefs were formed in the first years of our lives (6-7), so we learned when we were young how to be. It's important to recognize that so we can just retrain our brain and create new neural pathways which will then help us change our behaviors. 

The power of self-awareness is so key, it helps you face yourself and be honest so you can make shifts. No more avoiding and numbing. Choose something different. Eventually, you get so quick at shifting but you have to practice. 

So much gold in this episode, give it a listen!

When the body has drained all it’s reserves, that’s called BURNOUT. 

A burned out body has NO bandwidth for daily life let alone a more stressful one.

Zero resilience because all the body can do at this point is try to survive. You become minerally bankrupt and this affects EVERY system and function in your body.

Not a very happy picture, right?

I’ve seen this in my practice with countless clients, heck this was MY LIFE!

What was missing was I couldn’t hold onto to my nutrition, namely my minerals due to lifelong deficiencies, stressors and having 4 kids, 1 miscarriage and 5 moves in 2 years, my father-in-laws death and a divorce.

My health plummeted to the floor, I had PTSD, extreme fatigue and reactive hypoglycemia, insomnia and anxiety. I was physically, mentally and emotionally bankrupt.

When I finally figured this out, I used a functional test called hair tissue mineral analysis, I saw that I was in quadruple burnout. My body was starving for minerals and a freaking break from all the life stress.

There are numerous additional reasons why I burned out; which I won’t go into here, but suffice it to say if the minerals are missing, even in small amounts in the human body, it has to compensate greatly.

It begins to slow down in function and things like fatigue and lethargy set in. Mental clarity goes, the brain becomes quite foggy. Moods become lower, duller and more apathetic.

Why? Because the body is running on less energy reserves.

Minerals keep your spark in your body. Minerals give you energy to be happy, radiant, vibrant, full of joy with a juicy libido to boot.

Over the years of working with over thousands of people I've seen patterns that I've had to address with EVERY SINGLE CLIENT.

There are many steps in the healing process to fully remineralize, many of those are building blocks that everyone needs to have in place. And when they actually put them in place AND sustain them, usually they get pretty epic results in a short amount of time.

It's possible to turn a lot of major problems around in a few weeks to months when these habits are created.

So, I thought I should share this with even more people so they can get their spark back too.

Instead of writing my book and waiting to get it out to the masses, I decided to create an online mini program for those wanting to get started remineralizing their body NOW.

If you want to recover or rebuild from wherever you are currently in your health journey - I invite you to join: REMINERALIZE.

You'll soon be on your way to igniting back the spark you lost who knows when and get back to enjoying your life with newfound energy!

In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts and resources to help you deal with imposter syndrome.

Imposter syndrome is when you doubt yourself, your skills, talents or accomplishments. You may have a persistent ongoing internalized fear of being exposed as a "fraud". This can happen in many areas of your life.

Imposter syndrome can be DEBILITATING. It can cause stress, anxiety, low self confidence, shame and even depression. 

One of it's biggest limits is that it affects your ability to go after what you want in life.

BUT what if impostor syndrome could help you pave the way to success and your big beautiful dreams? What if you could learn how to use it to your advantage?

Remember your brain is always trying to keep you SAFE.

So if you learn to listen to what your imposter syndrome voice is really trying to say and lean into it you can move out of the ‘comfort zone’ your brain is naturally keeping you in.

You can then find new ways to rewire your brain and reset your emotions. New brain based habits require practice and repetition.

Here are some resources for you:

Bruce Lipton is the author of one of my favorite books:  The Biology of Belief

It's super nerdy, but SO fascinating. If you are not up for a dense read, try googling his name and watch a YouTube video or listen to a podcast he has done.
 
Anyway, in his book he discusses how unconscious programs set in place in your early childhood can rob you of choice in your adult life. He discusses how living with overwhelmed, chronically anxious or emotionally avoidant parents can cause you to live a fear-based life that drains you of energy. Energy that could be directed to greater creativity and fulfillment. I highly recommend his work. I thoroughly enjoyed this talk he did with Maria Mennunos recently called;  'Changing Your Life with Epigenetics'.

On the subject of reprogramming your subconscious transformation with brain science/transformational psychology and ancient wisdom.  I love The Jim Fortin podcast: Transform your life from the inside out. I've been bingeing his episodes big time this year.

Also, it's important to remember there are many paths to healing. YOU get to find a way that works for you. I love Emotional Freedom Technique or EFT for helping me when I deal with false narratives like imposter syndrome.

EFT  also known as tapping is basically focused acupressure, which science reveals soothes the amygdala part of the brain.  This meridian-based self-help method has many applications- you can use it when you feel imposter syndrome roaring it’s head - EFT/ tapping rewires your brain and resets your emotions, gently and healthily. 

I learned about it years ago and worked with Marie Houlden an EFT practitioner. For me the guided version has had the best outcome. You can check out a past vlog episode I did with Marie on emotional ‘detox’. It doesn’t have to be traumatic when you are facing emotions, that was my fear but it was relieved when I worked with Marie. 

Stay tuned as she’ll be my next guest on the podcast we’ll be talking about CHOOSING to be happy and I can’t wait! If you liked this episode, please leave me a good review on iTunes - it would mean so much to me!
