The Art of Pre-Selling

We've heard people preach about gut health for years, but science is now giving us proven tips and actionable advice for improving our gut health. Today's guest is using this science to help women say goodbye to non-stop bloating, food sensitivities, and low energy by repairing the gut at the root cause level.

In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, you'll meet Hannah Aylward, a Certified Holistic Health Coach, gut health specialist, and Founder/CEO of Hannah Aylward Nutrition (HAN).

After struggling with her own chronic digestive issues for years, Hannah dove headfirst into the latest gut health research, seeking answers to her bloating, food sensitivities, and pain. With her science-backed formula, Hannah has overcome her own digestive issues and helped hundreds of other women around the world do the same.

Today, Hannah leads a team of functional practitioners that help clients transform their gut health and overcome their never-ending digestive issues with functional nutrition, targeted supplementation, and advanced lab work.

Listen in as Hannah and I talk about simple, natural ways to overcome chronic digestive issues, regain your gut health and energy, and even boost your weight loss journey. Everything we're talking about today is research-backed and scientifically proven, so you can be sure you're getting trusted information about digestive health!

"We can throw all the probiotics at it that we want, we can throw all the anti-microbials that we want, but if we're not really working on supporting our nervous system and getting out of that fight or flight state, we're not setting ourselves up for success." – Hannah Aylward

Key Highlights:

• What is gut health?
• 6 surprising (science-backed) ways to support your gut health.
• Why digestive health starts with nervous system health.
• The science behind the "rest and digest" response.

As Judy says, "God" is an artist, so find your artistry! When I rediscovered my spirituality, my whole world changed. Growing my relationship with God has allowed me to go inward and heal my relationship with myself, with others, and genuinely live my best life.

Do you want to know the secret to staying young and pain-free into your 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond? The secret is in how you activate and engage your muscles. Intrigued yet?

Join me in this episode of The Wellness Revolution as I welcome Yogi Aaron, a Master Yoga Teacher and Muscle Specialist who's sharing a revolutionary approach to eliminating pain in the body and reducing your risk of injury. This unique approach ditches prescribed stretches while igniting alignment, stability, power, and purpose through muscle activation.

This conversation is absolutely fascinating, eye-opening, and might upset a few yogis out there, but it's essential knowledge you need. Aaron reveals the harmful effects of stretching and why you need to focus on activating and engaging your muscles rather than stretching them.

My biggest takeaway from this episode: Stretching is not getting to the root cause of my pain and it won't help reduce it either! Pain reduction requires a totally different approach.

"What we need to be doing is addressing the muscle tightness and that muscle tightness is a protective mechanism. If you've got tightness in your lower back, then that is a signal to you that something is not working properly in your body." – Yogi Aaron

Aaron's online platform, The Yogi Club, is making living a pain-free life accessible to all with a vast on-demand library of classes and courses. So, join us to learn something new and let your journey to a pain-free life start NOW.

Key Highlights:

• From Evangelical to Spiritual: How Yogi Aaron tapped into his purpose through yoga.
• Aaron's experience healing his chronic pain.
• How do muscles work?
• How is stretching harmful to the body?
• The major benefits of yoga (when done correctly).
• The #1 yoga pose you should AVOID.
• The BEST yoga pose you can do to strengthen your back and reduce pain.
• Why you should stop stretching and start Applied Yoga Anatomy + Muscle ActivationTM (AYAMA).
• Tips for adapting your yoga practice to optimize muscle function and reduce pain.
• How does Muscle Activation differ from modern and traditional yoga?
• How to achieve the same "release" you feel in yoga through AYAMA.
