The Perimenopausal Mamas Podcast

In this episode, Dr. Lisa talks about all things gut health with certified nutrition practitioner Rachel Einbinder. Too often moms can put their health on the back burner or think that they have to live with common digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or loose stools. Your gut health is also linked to issues with energy, metabolism, mood and skin health. Listen in to learn more!

Rachel, a Certified Nutrition Practitioner from Toronto, is passionate about helping busy moms regain control of their health through practical, gut-friendly solutions. With over a decade as an elementary school teacher, Rachel knows firsthand the challenges of juggling family, work, and self-care.

After the birth of her first child, she experienced a life-changing realization about the importance of holistic health for both herself and her family. This sparked a journey into Holistic Nutrition, where she dove deep into understanding the root causes of health issues—not just treating symptoms. Rachel’s approach is all about making wellness simple and sustainable, fitting seamlessly into the busy lives of moms. She’s here to empower, educate, and guide you toward feeling your best, inside and out.

In this solo episode, Dr. Toni chats all things numerology, with international numerologist and author, Vikki MacKinnon. Vikki explains how numbers work in every part of your life, in such a way that you: feel their energy, sense their presence, gain greater understanding of your circumstances and patterns that may be holding you back, and get a clear sense of the options and possibilities that lie before you. Discover where you are in your progressive cycles, and gain a sense of direction and anticipation as you look at where you are going.

Vikki MacKinnon is one of North America’s most respected numerologists. She is known to be deeply spiritual and insightful, yet refreshingly practical and down-to-Earth.

As founder and creator of the Born To Thrive Numerology Course, Vikki has facilitated workshops in Calgary, Ottawa, Toronto, and Tokyo – leading participants on a powerful journey of self-awareness and self-esteem, and empowering them with a metaphysical tool that will provide on-going benefits in their personal and professional life for years to come.

Many of Vikki’s students in both Canada and Japan have continued on to take the Advanced Numerology Mentorship Program, becoming numerologists themselves, or incorporating numerology into their own holistic practice.
