If you are listening to this then you are a part of the Wholly Well community! If you’ve been here for a while, you probably already have picked up on some of the core rules and principles that I talk about all the time about health, hormones, sleep, and more.

You may hear the word “rule” and think of it in a negative light. Rules are typically there to limit or restrict us. But I want to change that mentality! The rules of the Wholly Well Club are here to offer you more, not less, in your life: more energy, more fuel, and more of feeling Wholly Well!

If you need a refresher on the basics or if you are new here, you won’t want to miss this episode!

Before we get started, I want to remind you that I invite a lot of different viewpoints on my show, and while that doesn’t always mean I agree with everything said, I find dialogue from multiple perspectives helpful. As always, I invite you to think critically as you listen.

Getting the news from a medical doctor that you have a terminal illness such as cancer can feel like a death sentence. And the traditional treatments for these diseases aren’t much better. Many of them put poison in your body and destroy it, so even if you beat the disease, your body is still broken.

If you live in the USA, traditional medicine is stuck on a singular treatment plan. Your doctor won’t tell you about other options for repairing your body and overcoming disease. If you want to explore other means of treatment, you have to go outside the USA or do all the research for yourself.

My guest today, Dr. Patrick Vickers, is championing one such alternative based on the work of Dr. Max Gerson. Patrick has established a clinic in Mexico to offer up these alternatives to terminal cancer patients, those struggling with diabetes, and many more diseases. He’s sharing with us how Gerson Therapy works to heal patients, the methodology, and ways we can implement these treatments as preventative measures in our lives.

Oh, baby, baby! We are talking all things conception, pregnancy, birth, infertility, and integrative care.

Deciding to start a family is a big decision. It can be exciting, scary, and can present challenges along the way. You may be in a place where you are wondering how to enrich your soil best so your baby can thrive in pregnancy. Or you may be in a place where you are wondering if IVF truly is the only option for you.

Wherever you are today in your journey, I know you will enjoy my conversation with Nathan Riley. Nathan is dual board certified in OBGYN and hospice & palliative medicine. Through his platforms, he is working to shift mindsets to view pregnancy not as a disease and birth not as a medical procedure so that anyone can achieve vitality.

Happy New Year! 🎉 I don’t know if you have ever done this, but I decided to start off my year by giving it a name. This is something that has a particular meaning to me and will serve as a reminder throughout the rest of the year. I highly recommend doing this if you haven’t already made a habit of starting off your year with intentionality!

I have decided that 2023 will be the “year of well” for me. If you are wondering what exactly that means, don’t worry! I’m breaking down in this episode what it means and some of my goals around this theme. If you’d like to know more about what it would mean to make this year the year of well, listen in as I kick off the year with this solo episode!

When it comes to our genetics, it can sometimes feel like we got the short end of the stick or are stuck with a dysfunctional body. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. While there are some genetics you will always have to manage, when you know how to support your body, you can still have a whole and healthy life!

I am SO excited for this episode because it covers so many things – health as more than nutrition and exercise, how to eat for wellness, and changing genetic expression. To help me discuss this all is a new friend, Mollie Ferguson.

Mollie is an author, Registered Dietitian, founder and CEO of Seva Functional Wellness, and a precision medicine health consultant specializing in helping people with chronic diseases live life to their fullest potential. Mollie has over seven years of education and spent excessive time and money completing various functional medicine protocols to learn the most efficient way to heal from chronic fatigue.

I loved chatting with Mollie, so listen in!

Hustle culture pushes us to do more and to use every moment to get ahead. While that may seem good if you are trying to start a business, make some extra cash, or get a lot done quickly, it can often lead to burnout.

My new friend, Heather Paeplow, is a certified Nurse Practitioner and a health and wellness coach. After practicing in the traditional medical model for nearly a decade, Heather found she was no longer aligned with a model that primarily managed diseases. Motivated by her desire to foster holistic health, she encourages others to stop chasing symptoms and go from surviving to thriving.

If you have ever forgotten to eat a meal, gotten to the afternoon without drinking a drop of water, or generally felt at the end of yourself, this episode is for you!

My friends, I loved this episode and I can’t wait to share it with you!

When you hear “medicine,” what comes to mind? Is it pill bottles and doctors? If so, you definitely aren’t alone. In western culture, we associate medicine strongly with these images, but rarely do we consider what we eat as medicine that will either help or hurt our bodies. That needs to change.

Isa Kujawski, my guest today, is at the forefront of changing our perception of food, believing it should be viewed as medicine for our bodies. She is a functional Registered Dietitian, author, Navy veteran, and founder of Mea Nutrition. In today’s episode, we talk about all things functional nutrition, mind-body connection, and the importance of physical and mental detox.

Let’s jump in! ❤️
