Small Changes Big Shifts

How do we tune in to our authentic self? The self that is us in the truest form and can tell us 100% whether something is right or wrong? Laura Coe, former healthcare entrepreneur guru turned author and podcast host, found she was asking herself this question quite often before she truly knew what it meant.

Laura has a knack for taking philosophy and ancient wisdom and teaching others how to apply it to their everyday life in a way to help them find their true, authentic self. She uses her life experiences and learning's to help others find that connection with their deepest self that ultimately leads to living their truest life.

She lets people know that "it is okay to be yourself" and to "be curious" so learn what excites you or weighs you down. And then take this knowledge to go and learn about others and create a positive change reaction that all leads to finding the true, authentic self.

Imagine you are running a successful company for decades and then you lose it all. What would you do? This happened to Dr. Phil Carson and he is now the epitome of starting over and picking yourself back up.

Dr. Phil ran a pharmacy practice and then lost it all and what was the one thing that turned his life around after this happened? A book on natural medicine. In school, he had learned about the history of natural medicine but never the application of it until this book. Having suffered from digestive issues for a while and treating them with anti-acids and medications, he didn't find relief until he went back to the root cause and used natural remedies. Now Dr. Phil takes the natural medicine approach and helps others feel better.

He is a Health and Wellness consultant, whose two biggest tips are as simple and straight forward as they come: drink more water and forgive. Dr. Phil calls it "soul sickness" when we are so hard on ourselves and others and don't forgive quick enough. He has decades of experience with helping treated others and believes it all starts with how we treat ourselves.

If you were told you only had a couple months to live due to a terminal illness, what would you do? Dr. Nasha Winters, N.D. and CEO of Optimal Terrain, was told this at the young age of 19 as she was diagnosed with cervical cancer after dealing with multiple health issues.

Dr. Nasha took her diagnosis and decided she wanted to go out on her own terms so she went to the library and the book, Quantum Healing by Deepak Chopra, popped out at her so she read it one night. By reading this book, Dr. Nasha's diet, lifestyle and college major would all be changed overnight.

Now Dr. Nasha, is helping others by educating clients, doctors, and researchers on ways to apply the integrative oncology philosophy to treatments and therapy. She finds pleasure is seeing the joy in others and finding the "blessing in the lesson" in everyday life.

Dr. Mao looks at energy as a tool for healing as we are always surrounded by it and have the ability to harness it for our advantage. He explores various ways of healing that allows for one to truly take a whole person approach to their health.
