Welcome to the third episode in the gut health series!  In today's episode you will hear how Dr. Gina leveled up her gut health game by drinking celery juice every morning on an empty stomach.  

Dr. Gina struggled with debilitating chronic bladder infections (UTI's) for years.  Consistent antibiotic use left her feeling fatigued, angry, and a bit hopeless.  She tried EVERYTHING:  apple cider vinegar, probiotics, cranberry pills, d-mannose, decreasing sugar, and increasing water intake.  Things started to turn around for her when she went to a holistic chiropractor, but it wasn't until she began celery juicing almost 7 years later that she was finally able to up-level her gut health game!  

If you're interested in celery juicing, this is a MUST LISTEN!

People can tell you to let go and surrender all day long, but until you are ready to surrender it's just white noise.

Today's episode took an unexpected beautiful turn.  

Dr. Gina's guest co-host, Ali Britton, has been on a fertility journey for the past seven years.  Anyone who can relate knows just how hard and devastating this path can feel.  You want the outcome of a baby so badly that your life can easily become consumed with doing anything you possibly can to just "get it right."

No one will ever know why things happen the way they do, but sometimes gifts are birthed from the pain.  Sometimes.  

Listen to hear Ali and Gina share how grief forced them both into surrender.  Learning to receive the simple but incredibly powerful gifts of life is a true gift of life itself.

If you enjoyed  today's episode reach out and share your reflections with Gina on Instagram or email [email protected].  Grief is an incredibly complex journey, and sometimes you just need an ear.  Reach out.

In 2009 Anabel found herself faced with divorce, debt and a whole list of financial problems.  She slowed down and asked herself, "What will I teach my son about what is valuable for a fulfilled life?"  This question put her on an entirely different journey.   In today's episode you will hear and feel Anabel's passion through the microphone as she shares some of her spiritual understandings that help people trust their awakening process by reconnecting to their core feminine source of wisdom.  Anabel shares her beliefs on healing, inner knowings, creativity, universal religion, raising children in alignment with their higher self and so much more.   

In her professional career, Anabel works with women one-on-one, in retreat settings, and in online programs to help them express their genius by balancing their Masculine/Feminine energies, clearing karmic/ancestral patterns, and elevating their overall frequency.   Feminine energy is so much more than tapping into your feelings and painting a picture.  

Today's episode shines light on the full spectrum of feminine energy that we have the potential of accessing and expressing, no matter your gender.
