Key points covered in today's episode:
Ava share's how her journey into the holistic health began which includes her health oriented family, external influences, her passion to blend science with holistic health and why she chose to create her own school of holistic medicine.
How nutrition is the foundation of our health, food is medicine and that it's possible to heal your body from chronic conditions, disease, illness and eating well is the most important preventative measure to take for optimising your health and you can feel better after only 3 days of altering your diet!
How maintaining stress levels helps you make healthier food choices and over stimulating dopamine receptors with instant reward food like sugar creates stress in the body and how we are surrounded by unhealthy options.
That everyone is different and what's healthy for you may not be healthy for someone else. Genetics, ancestory, intolerances, sensitivity all play a role.
What eating optimally feels like and how sometimes obsession leads to eating disorders like binge eating, anorexia, orthorexia.
The facts and science about gluten, if you should eat it or not, and how you can be more sensitive to it if you're pre-disposed to sickness or have an auto-immune disease.
What auto-immunity and leaky gut is and how it can be caused by environmental, dietary and prevalently trauma.
Ava expresses and offers her bold perspective on how narcissism is the root cause of damaged internal health, physiological dysregulation, environmental issues, spiritual demise and how it stems from childhood attachment issues.
The importance of educating yourself about narcissists and those that fall under in the 'Dark triad' umbreralla, a cluster of three negative personality traits—Machiavellianism and subclinical (non pathological) narcissism and psychopathy in order to protect your peace.
How seeking to understand and create more love for yourself, connecting more to your body and enhancing your intuition will help protect you from these dangerous personalities, give you more resilience and it means you'll be less likely to be sucked into their world.
Working on yourself to become securely attached rather than insecurely attached is a powerful way to protect yourself from narcissists and psychological abuse.
