Migraines can come with substantial personal and societal burden and can also affect the psychological health and well‐being, and financial stability of the entire family of the person dealing with them. Lori has helped many people overcome them and she can help you too!

Laura had suffered with migraines for many years so today’s episode is an important one for her. Laura suffered from cyclical migraines that occurred around the same time each month around her hormonal cycle. She visited doctors and other medical professionals but was never able to shake or even lower the consistency of her migraines. A few years later, Laura visited Lori for an issue with her foot and Lori diagnosed her foot and quickly realized Laura needed help with other issues in her body. Laura was experiencing issues with hormone spikes that were bringing on the migraines and other issues. After working with Lori, she has not had a severe migraine for several years.

Listen to today’s episode to hear from Lori on how she helped Laura overcome migraines and get back to a normal life.

We all know through decades of research that smoking is very harmful to our bodies and it is talked about a lot. What’s not talked about as much is how harmful sitting at a desk all day is. Your posture affects your overall health and we were designed to be active. Desk jobs have a huge effect on our eyes, posture, and overall body. Society tries to create things to be ergonomic but humans weren’t built to sit in a car, at a desk, or on the couch all day.

Listen to today’s episode to get Lori’s breakdown on these issues and some recommendations for those of us who have to sit at a desk.

Today we continue our conversation about the power of posture. Last episode we discussed Lori’s new course and its purpose. Did you know that your organs are hung on different muscles? Your organs are designed to move around while completing the basic functions you need to live but sometimes, they move out of place and cause issues throughout the body.

Sometimes an injury or some issues can lead to other chronic conditions. An example, a lot of times people have symptoms (Acid reflux, digestion issues) and go to a doctor and are put on medication. These symptoms may all stem from your stomach not hanging in the place it’s supposed to! In Lori’s course she has video tutorials of stretches that can help your body return your stomach back to place. Posture plays a large part on your overall health. If you are suffering from something that traditional medicine has struggled to solve, please reach out to us and see if Lori can help! If you are unsure, please go check out our testimonial episodes where people who have been neglected or failed by traditional medicine share their story on how Lori helped them.

Today we finish up our talk on digestion with a conversation on a new drug that has been released to help with weight loss. Ozempic has taken the country by storm. America has a bad obesity issue and pharmaceutical companies found a “wonder solution” to this. 

Ozempic is a generic name for Semaglutide. Semaglutide is an antidiabetic medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and an anti-obesity medication used for long-term weight management.

Ozempic does help in lowering weight. It does this by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full. The issue is Ozempic also makes you lose your muscle weight and can have some serious side effects. We don’t have the data to understand the long-term effects of Ozempic or other similar drugs. 

It is not known if Ozempic is safe for children under the age of 18. The issue is thousands of scripts are being written for Wegovy and Ozempic for children between the ages of 12 to 17 and it may be doing serious harm to their long-term development. 

Be an advocate for yourself and your family!! It is ok to say no to a doctor! Ask questions and do your own research. The whole reason we started our podcast was to share the knowledge we have to help you be more educated to be able to questions your doctors decisions.

Today we continue our conversation on digestion with a focus on creating a pattern or schedule. Parents, this episode is for you! 

It’s very important for our bodies to be in rest and digest when eating. It helps if from a young age we have a brain programmed on a predictable schedule. As we are going through our day there is a certain expectation of when we are going to eat, what does it look like, and how we form those memories and bonds. This can be a challenge and today we go over some practical tips to help.

Today we continue our conversation on digestion. Our focus today is on what is stress eating and what is it doing to your body. Stress eating effects our hunger cues. The way our body naturally tells us that it is time to eat and when we are full. Stress eating can be harmful to us and it’s important to understand how to notice when we are stress eating.

When our brain sends signals to us that it wants or requires water and we give it something else like soda or coffee our body comes back with a secondary cue that usually wants something salty it means your body wants water. Lori goes through more of these cues your body will give you when it requires certain essential nutrients and what they mean.

Last week we talked about fasting and what it does to our body’s normal digestion processes. Today we are going to take a deeper dive into our body’s natural digestion process. Our brain is heavily involved in the digestion process, our brain stores “files” of memories it has while eating certain foods and the emotions that came with those foods. When we are hungry it brings these memories to the forefront and requests food. Our body digests best when we are in rest and digest vs fight or flight. When in fight or flight our body isn’t as hungry and digestion may lead to stomach issues and diarrhea. We have a whole episode about poop and what indicators it has for your body. (yes.. we really have an entire episode about poop haha. Episode 14)

Eating is more than just the activity of putting food into your body. It is an experience of what you are doing while you eat that your mind creates the “file” of and attaches those memories to the foods you eat.
