Gut issues can be the root cause of not only gastrointestinal disorders, but also exhaustion, painful joints, body aches, tender muscles, headaches, skin problems, behavioral, emotional, and psychiatric symptoms, seasonal allergies, and weight gain. Tune in for information that will transform your gut and your overall physical and mental health.

The foods you eat can greatly affect your body and all of its systems. If you have ever wondered if there is a connection between nutrition and your mental and emotional state, the answer is, yes. On this episode, I talk to Naturopathic Physician, Dr. Mille Lytle, about a food plan she created to help patients who struggle with anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and other mood disorders.

Children born today are likely to have shorter life spans than that of their parents, and it is because of choices we are making that have made obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease common in younger and younger populations. On this episode, I talk to Dr. John Salerno, an internationally renowned pioneer in the field of complementary medicine and the founder of, The Salerno Center for Complementary Medicine. We delve into his book, The Salerno Solution, which is packed with his advice and insights into how you can optimize your health and remain disease free for a lifetime.

In October of 2014, 29-year old newlywed, Brittany Maynard, became international news when her story went public. She was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of brain cancer—a glioblastoma. Knowing her death would involve relentless pain and suffering, Brittany took control of her own dying process by moving from California to Oregon, which is one of eight states with authorized medical-aid-in-dying. Brittany's final wish was that people in all 50 states could have this option. She spent the final weeks of her life advocating for this, and her husband, Dan Diaz, continues her fight. Dan works with an organization called, Compassion & Choices, advocating for the expansion of end-of-life options for all terminally ill people. This compelling story may change how you think about both life and death.

On this episode, I talk to Physician of Chinese Medicine and Daoist Life Coach, Justin Ehrlich, about breaking free of the emotional baggage that can block you from health and happiness. We all have subconscious emotional blocks, but there are ways to identify them, challenge them, and move beyond them. Central to the Daoist world view is the belief that you are here for a unique journey. By studying the major events of your life, you can understand your journey and become empowered by your experiences. This is when you can begin to live with true freedom. If you are not where you want to be in any area of your life, this show will shed light on how you may be getting in your own way.

We just wrapped Season 2 of TARA MARIE LIVE, and I am looking forward to having some summer fun and focusing on other projects before we launch into an incredible Season 3 this fall.

Becoming the best version of yourself takes constant work, a willingness to look at who you are and what your life has become, and the desire to change. Think about these things, and get ready for greatness—it is coming your way. I look forward to being back with you soon to share in your success. Stay tuned!
